[00:58] <causative> not able to connect to twitch.tv on firefox 55.0.2, anyone else having this problem?
[00:59] <causative> or anyone else not having this problem?
[00:59] <bazhang> causative, tried gnome-twitch yet
[00:59] <bazhang> !info gnome-twitch | causative
[01:00] <causative> I can watch it on chromium but there's a convenience factor of not needing a separate program open
[01:00] <causative> and I wonder if this is some issue with my system or if it is a problem everyone is having right now
[01:03] <causative> are you able to access twitch using firefox?
[01:07] <causative> actually I can't access it with chromium either, if I log in then it shows the same blank page firefox is showing
[01:09] <causative> gnome-twitch does not allow login to a twitch account, someone else also commented they had this problem so gnome-twitch is not really ready
[01:09] <bazhang> causative, so not tried what I suggested yet
[01:11] <causative> apart from login gnome-twitch is just not working for me, I can't view a stream, it is stuck on "Loading stream"
[01:13] <causative> twitch was working for me fine in firefox up until earlier today when it stopped working
[01:13] <causative> something probably changed on the twitch site because nothing changed on my system that would explain it
[01:25] <Siva_Machina> causative, maybe try another browser or make another profile in Firefox
[01:32] <pxfgod> Hi, I encounter an issue that, after I ssh on my remote machine , and ran a process and the process crashed, I found the ssh client never output linefeed.Continually pressing Enter output like follows: pxf@ubuntu-pxf:~/game/pub$ pxf@ubuntu-pxf:~/game/pub$
[01:32] <pxfgod> without line-feed
[01:36] <compdoc_> try other terminal types, or edit the key
[01:37] <cedriczg> I get same problems from dolphin
[01:39] <cedriczg> And same result from xfce terminal
[01:44] <causative> Siva_Machina, are you giving me that advice because you tried it yourself?  I already tried chromium
[01:48] <Siva_Machina> I gave it to you because that is what I do when troubleshooting issues like that
[01:52] <demophobia> Bashing-om: can you help me with the nomodeset again? my boot menu is different from what your previous instructions suggest; i tried following them and wound up with some text going across the screen followed by an indefinite black screen
[01:53] <iamj033> Hey, guys. I am trying to disable using my discrete graphics card on my laptop (Inspiron 7559) and use only the integrated graphics to save battery. When I do "prime-select intel" and try to login, the screen freezes. I have a 6700HQ with a 960M. I am running Ubuntu 17.04 with GDM3 and GNOME. Any help is very appreciated!
[01:53] <demophobia> i'm at the UNetbootin menu and my options are Default, Help, Try Lubuntu without installing, Install Lubunt, Check disc for defects, Test memory, Boot from first hard disk. Should I press F6 now or 'Try Lu... I guess I'll Try Lubuntu without installing and then try your instructions hoping another menu will appear corresponding to Lubuntu instead of UNetbootin
[02:01] <emma> Is there any alternative to Plex for use with Roku if you are using linux?
[02:01] <Siva_Machina> demophobia, I use Etcher for putting isos on a usb
[02:01] <demophobia> I saw the red text 'press tab to edit options' and now it's saying /ubnkern and a bunch of stuff; how do I proceed to set the nomodeset and get it to boot from the liveUSB instead of a black screen?
[02:01] <bazhang> emma, why not cjeck the alternatives.to websire
[02:01] <bazhang> site
[02:02] <emma> okay I'll try that one.
[02:02] <bazhang> kodi is pretty much the winner
[02:03] <demophobia> Siva_Machina: Please change the lubuntu install guide so it doesn't recommend this UNetbootin if it works without this hassle
[02:03] <demophobia> 'SD card burner app', Siva_Machina?
[02:03] <kenrin> Why aren't you using just straight dd ?
[02:04] <Siva_Machina> I don't have control over Lubuntus install guide
[02:04] <demophobia> https://sourceforge.net/p/unetbootin/wiki/howitworks/ is not helpful except to imply that UNetbootin interferes with the standard liveUSB boot menu -_-;
[02:05] <demophobia> i have to go to bed -- another failure to actually boot from liveUSB ...
[02:05] <Siva_Machina> I am just giving help based off what I know works.
[02:05] <demophobia> linux just seems too hard
[02:05] <demophobia> following instructions from ubuntu's own site doesn't work. etcher, is this it? https://etcher.io
[02:06] <Siva_Machina> Yes
[02:07] <Siva_Machina> From previous experience. Etcher is super simple.
[02:08] <Siva_Machina> Plug usb in. Open up Etcher. Point it to the iso you downloaded and go.
[02:08] <demophobia> I guess I'll try it tomorrow. To be honest, I'm wondering whether ubuntu is worth it if the community can't even supply functioning installation instructions: Please change this page to not recommend UNetbootin, since it apparently does not allow you to set nomodeset options for a graphics card that can't load ubuntu's boot menu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/How%20to%20install%20Ubuntu%20on%20MacBook%20using%20USB%20Stick
[02:09] <demophobia> thanks. maybe i'll try re-burning the ISO to this SanDisk 16 GB drive now.
[02:10] <bazhang> demophobia, sd card to a macbook?
[02:10] <bazhang> thats hardly general use case
[02:10] <demophobia> bazhang: no, macbook: lubutu ISO to USB -> USB to boot lubuntu 16 from Dell D620
[02:11] <demophobia> literally, following Ubuntu's own guide to getting ubuntu on a PC
[02:11] <demophobia> and doing exactly what they said to do did not work.
[02:11] <bazhang> demophobia, try etcher, keep the excessive complaints/commentary elsewhere
[02:11] <demophobia> sorry -_- tahnks
[02:14] <Siva_Machina> I dl
[02:14] <Siva_Machina> Whoops
[02:15] <Siva_Machina> I do think the install to usb page needs to be updated. If a better program then unetbootin exsists
[02:15] <Siva_Machina> Well easier to use
[02:16] <unholymachine> i don't think unetbootin could get any easier tbh
[02:16] <unholymachine> what could be easeir than point and click?
[02:16] <Siva_Machina> Etcher proves that wrong. At least for me
[02:17] <unholymachine> the artist?
[02:18] <kenrin> I still don't see how that is easier than dd if=blah.iso of=/dev/sdx
[02:18] <unholymachine> technically it isn't
[02:18] <unholymachine> but people like GUIs
[02:18] <kenrin> Well there is disk writer..
[02:19] <kenrin> Don't even need to install anything
[02:19] <demophobia> Etcher's result: "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer." ... I verified the md5 of the iso, too ...
[02:19] <demophobia> Is this SanDisk drive defective?
[02:19] <unholymachine> people want just ONE BUTTON
[02:19] <unholymachine> lol
[02:19] <kenrin> It is one button
[02:20] <kenrin> right click iso > open with disk image writer > start restoring
[02:20] <unholymachine> no no no ,.... one button that will download, mount , flash , AND INSTALL ALL AT ONCE!
[02:20] <unholymachine> yeah that's not one button! lol ;)
[02:20] <kenrin> One button,  didn't say one click =/
[02:21] <unholymachine> whatever. ppl are lazy. that is the point.
[02:21] <kenrin> true
[02:21] <demophobia> should I erase the disk, format it as FAT32 (as it was) and try again with Etcher?
[02:21] <demophobia> (erase and format using Disk Utility)
[02:21] <demophobia> (on macOS)
[02:21]  * Siva_Machina is lazy
[02:21] <kenrin> Any decent program will do that automatically for ya demophobia
[02:21] <unholymachine> open terminal in mac os
[02:22] <demophobia> kenrin: yes, i thought Etcher would, but instead I got this 'drive unreadable' result from it
[02:22] <unholymachine> dd if=location of iso. of=mount point of usb stick
[02:22] <Siva_Machina> But also likes the terrminal
[02:23] <demophobia> unholymachine: i don't know how to find the mount point of the USB
[02:23] <demophobia> oh, wait
[02:23] <unholymachine> you know, you could just have a shitty usb stick. it's not unheard of.
[02:24] <demophobia> yeah i dunno how to find the mount point. i tohught i could find it from Disk Utility
[02:24] <kenrin> fdisk -l ?
[02:24] <unholymachine> in fact, i know that some of those cheapo chinese usb sticks will NOT be read correctly even if they show up on your OS
[02:24] <demophobia> just says 'Devoice tree path: IODeviceTree:/' ... well, it's SanDisk, from Amazon Prime
[02:25] <unholymachine> JFGI
[02:25] <demophobia> kenrin: illegal option for mac os apparently
[02:26] <unholymachine> https://superuser.com/questions/429058/how-can-i-get-the-mount-path-of-a-usb-device-on-osx
[02:26] <unholymachine> omg
[02:26] <kenrin> Oh right,  you got that diskutil thing
[02:26] <leftyfb> demophobia: I'm confused. Why are you asking for help with Mac OSX in #ubuntu?
[02:26] <demophobia> leftyfb: trying to make a liveUSB that will work with this Dell D620
[02:26] <demophobia> (for lubuntu)
[02:26] <unholymachine> heh.
[02:27] <unholymachine> macs suck. may they all burn in hell.
[02:27] <demophobia> i thought to myself, "it would be great to try linux again and turn a cheap computer into a great computer"
[02:27] <unholymachine> you have unix in your OSX
[02:27] <unholymachine> why not just use that
[02:28] <demophobia> ... i've spent about $150 so far and can't even produce a liveUSB lol ... unholymachine: wanted a second computer for security (e.g. taking in public without worrying about it getting stolen or damaged)
[02:29] <unholymachine> you don't know how to dd on your mac bro?
[02:29] <unholymachine> how you gonna use linux?
[02:29] <unholymachine> if you can't dd???
[02:29] <unholymachine> XD
[02:29] <unholymachine> ;)
[02:29] <unholymachine> j/k
[02:29] <demophobia> no ... i thought it would be good to learn computers at the same time ... 'learn by doing'? >_>
[02:29] <unholymachine> well i just gave you the answer in a link
[02:29] <leftyfb> demophobia: is the usb plugged in now?
[02:29] <demophobia> is lubuntu not a good lightweight linux distro for novices?
[02:30] <demophobia> leftyfb: lol yes
[02:30] <leftyfb> demophobia: in a terminal, type dmesg
[02:30] <unholymachine> i prefer xubuntu
[02:30] <leftyfb> that should tell you the device location (not the mount point. You do not need/want the mount point)
[02:30]  * demophobia was reading http://www.linfo.org/dmesg.html
[02:30] <unholymachine> location and mount point are the same thing are they not?
[02:31] <demophobia> i'm trying to learn what i'm doing >_>
[02:31] <leftyfb> demophobia: then sudo dd if=ubuntu-image.iso of=/dev/somepathtoyourdrive bs=1M
[02:31] <unholymachine> mounted to /dev/sdb2
[02:31] <leftyfb> unholymachine: no it's not
[02:31] <unholymachine> meh, you say tomato i say potato
[02:31] <demophobia> i will save this chat and try more later
[02:31] <leftyfb> unholymachine: /dev/sdb2 could be mounted to /mnt for instance
[02:31] <unholymachine> true
[02:31] <lafleurdubien> If anyone can help me, I'd be eternally grateful
[02:31]  * unholymachine shrugs
[02:31] <leftyfb> !ask | lafleurdubien
[02:31] <demophobia> learned a few things already, thanks all
[02:32] <unholymachine> what did you learn?
[02:32] <kk4ewt> leftyfb,  what is your issue
[02:32] <leftyfb> kk4ewt: I don't have an issue
[02:33] <kk4ewt> opps  lafleurdubien
[02:33] <lafleurdubien> I have an issue with my laptop where the mouse/cursor just takes off to the far left and either: weird phantom right-clicking around - or - 'zooms-in' and makes webpages unreadable
[02:34] <unholymachine> sounds cool
[02:34] <unholymachine> maybe it's hardware related?
[02:34] <lafleurdubien> I've nuke & paved several times
[02:34] <lafleurdubien> and it persists
[02:34] <unholymachine> hardware
[02:34] <lafleurdubien> right, I'm thinking hardware too
[02:34] <unholymachine> replace hardware nao
[02:34] <leftyfb> lafleurdubien: sounds like your touchpad has an issue
[02:34] <kk4ewt> laptop or desktop
[02:34] <leftyfb> kk4ewt: "<lafleurdubien> I have an issue with my laptop where"
[02:34] <kk4ewt> nm i see you siad lap
[02:35] <kk4ewt> said
[02:35] <unholymachine> i could replace it for you  . . . for a price
[02:35] <unholymachine> i do that shit on the daily
[02:35] <unholymachine> XD
[02:35] <bazhang> unholymachine, thats not helpful, nore topical
[02:35] <lafleurdubien> but here's the thing - the issue occurs with just touchpad enabled AND still happens if touchpad is completely disabled
[02:36] <unholymachine> oh then it's definitely hardware
[02:36] <lafleurdubien> I can use a usb mouse w/ touchpad off, wireless mouse w/ touchpad off or just touchpad
[02:36] <lafleurdubien> still happens
[02:36] <lafleurdubien> I get that its likely hardware, but what piece of hardware is it?
[02:37] <lafleurdubien> the issue does not occur with windows 10 (yuck) or fedora
[02:37] <unholymachine> how do you "disable" your touchpad
[02:38] <unholymachine> function and a button right?
[02:38] <unholymachine> seems like the distro your using doesn't fully support that
[02:38] <lafleurdubien> gui settings menus in: ubutntu gnome, budgie, mate - i just click "disable touchpad"
[02:39] <unholymachine> your laptop doesn't have a hardware switch to disable tthe touchpad?
[02:39] <lafleurdubien> no, I wish it did
[02:39] <unholymachine> aha
[02:39] <lafleurdubien> so its def the touchpad?
[02:39] <unholymachine> or the synaptics driver
[02:40] <lafleurdubien> if its the touchpad I can try to figure out how to disable/not recognize the touchpad completely. its crap anyways.
[02:40] <unholymachine> the touchpad , usually, is attached to the motherboard w/ a ribbon cable
[02:41] <unholymachine> that , once removed from the connector, renders it useless
[02:41] <unholymachine> but , sometimes, the whole keyboard and touchpad are on the same ribbon cable
[02:41] <unholymachine> so you'd have to take y our laptop apart and see
[02:41] <unholymachine> you don't like fedora?
[02:42] <unholymachine> seems like fedora doesn't cause the issue . . .
[03:05] <demophobia> Etcher worked, thank you.
[03:06] <demophobia> Unlike UNetbootin, it's taken me to the lubuntu boot menu and I can follow the instructions I was given
[03:06] <demophobia> (it = the liveUSB created from it)
[03:14] <demophobia> It booted! :) Why did it flash text but not give enough time to read it, though? (It also flashed a chaotic image for a second that you might see if you take a game cartridge out mid-play.)
[03:27] <emma> is universalmediaserver in the ubuntu repo?
[03:28] <emma> !info universal

[03:36] <Siva_Machina> chull, try removing the asterisk's
[03:40] <chull> hi Siva_Machina maybe thanks :)
[03:41] <chull> /me smiles
[03:41] <chull> nope
[03:41] <chull> it needs say.. and then it's saying the command  - is hexchat
[03:41] <chull> i only want it to say *smiles* or smiles ..
[03:45]  * chull smiles
[03:45] <chull> heh got it.. doesn't need say :)

[03:48] <chull> my hubby is having a little problem with updates in Ubuntu 16.04 https://pastebin.com/spu1gf2A
[03:54] <Maynard> Hello all I'm here again and I think I really screwed the pooch on this one.  I have looked at many pages.
[03:55] <Maynard> UGH!
[03:55] <Maynard> WHen I try to install the target USB will not format. I am using Gparted and it just says something about this usb has GPT signatures...
[03:56]  * chalcedony shares some chocolate milkshake with Maynard 
[03:56] <Maynard> PS I am running UbuntuStudio 16.043 LTS amd 64 if that matters.  Also I was attempting a fat32 format to have a bootable USB.
[03:57] <Maynard> Shares non-existent whiskey bottle lol
[03:57] <chalcedony> is that good with chocolate?
[03:58] <Maynard> Probably not.........blegch!
[03:58] <leftyfb> Maynard: in gparted, click on "device" then "create partition table". Then format to your liking
[03:58]  * chalcedony offers chocolate to helpers
[03:59] <chalcedony> should i have written this better?  hubby is having a little problem with updates in Ubuntu 16.04 https://pastebin.com/spu1gf2A ?
[04:00] <leftyfb> chalcedony: your cairo-dock-team ppa repo is trying to use xenial but they haven't updated since vivid
[04:04] <lotuspsychje> try docky its in ubuntu repos
[04:05] <emma> what is the prefered way to watch movies you have on your laptop on a tv with a roku>
[04:05] <Bashing-om> chalcedony: http://ppa.launchpad.net/cairo-dock-team/ppa/ubuntu . No longer maintained . Disable that PPA .
[04:05] <leftyfb> emma: buy a chromecast
[04:07] <cryptic0> anyone got a promo code for digitalocean?
[04:08] <leftyfb> cryptic0: no. Not the place for such questions
[04:09] <chalcedony> Bashing-om, lovely to see you!
[04:10] <chalcedony> remind me how to do that in 16.04?
[04:10] <emma> leftyfb: i don't think a chromecast let you control it from the tv
[04:10] <Bashing-om> chalcedony: :) Same . You try and are easy to work with .
[04:11] <leftyfb> emma: neither does a roku
[04:11] <chalcedony> :)
[04:11] <Bashing-om> chalcedony: I do not recall what DE you are working with . But in software sources GUI you can find and uncheck that PPA .
[04:13] <chalcedony> Bashing-om, my hubby is having trouble remembering
[04:13] <emma> leftyfb: Roku comes with a remote control. The whole point of is is that you can switch the TV to roku and then control what you view from the Roku.
[04:14] <leftyfb> emma: ok?
[04:14] <emma> lol am I the only one seeing this>
[04:14] <emma> leftyfb: are you an ubuntu op?
[04:14] <leftyfb> emma: op?
[04:16] <leftyfb> emma: no, why?
[04:18] <Bashing-om> chalcedony: Mess about in " software and updates" in the GUI, you will find it .
[04:22] <chalcedony> Bashing-om, okies ty very much :) You're always so kind

[04:32] <arosen> leftyfb: cool that did the trick thx
[04:33] <Maynard> leftyfb sorry I had unexpected company.... THat's what I'm saying is gparted won't format to fat32 for the bootsble usb.  Any other ideas?
[04:33] <leftyfb> Maynard: in gparted, click on "device" then "create partition table". Then format to your liking
[04:34] <Maynard> It blocks me from any thing whether I say yes or no to the presence of GPT
[04:34] <NotDisliked> Guys I'm on the 17.10 daily build, I can't find an option to launch in Wayland, there's no gear next to my login button where I expect to see one normally to choose a session
[04:35] <leftyfb> NotDisliked: please see #ubuntu+1 for unreleased versions of ubuntu
[04:35] <Maynard> COol what do I format to since the is no ext or fat at all ....msdos, gpt pc98 etc
[04:35] <NotDisliked> sure thing!  sorry for talking in the wrong place!
[04:36] <Maynard> *there
[04:37] <arahael> Maynard: The partition type != partition format.
[04:37] <Maynard> Still around ?
[04:37] <emma> Do any of you use a Roku and Ubuntu?
[04:37] <Maynard> leftyfb
[04:37] <Maynard> sorry
[04:37] <leftyfb> Maynard: msdos partition type (it's not a format)
[04:37] <Maynard> only Ubuntu here
[04:38] <Maynard> ROger.
[04:38] <Maynard> /dev/sda contains GPT signatures, indicating that it has a GPT table.  However, it does not have a valid fake msdos partition table, as it should.  Perhaps it was corrupted -- possibly by a program that doesn't understand GPT partition tables.  Or perhaps you deleted the GPT table, and are now using an msdos partition table.  Is this a GPT partition table?
[04:38] <Maynard> That's what I get above.  Yes or no are the options
[04:39] <Maynard> SOrry for the long post
[04:42] <Maynard> I get that error pretty much any way I try to touch it in gparted.
[04:42] <roobi> LVM?
[04:44] <fishcooker> how to dim the screen by cli
[04:44] <Maynard> Can someone do a screenshot of the proper partitions for 1EFI 512 mb   and I cannot seem to get the rest right.  It's target is a 32Gb flash
[04:45] <Maynard> roobi @the LVM
[04:49] <Maynard> fishcooker nice name (y)
[04:52] <Maynard> I know it's EFI ext4 and ESP for the 3 partions What else am I missing?
[04:56] <fishcooker> thankyou Maynard
[04:56] <fishcooker> what's ESP
[05:02] <emma> What is a media server that runs on Ubuntu that will work with Roku?
[05:03] <ddellav> emma plex
[05:05] <Maynard> fishcooker no idea.... on the ESP I mean. I always jus tdo the standard install, no updates, no extras and those are the partition types they make when just doing "Erase and install ubuntu"
[05:07] <Maynard> OK solved that section.... got it to format fat32 through Partion>>new (aat the top)
[05:08] <Maynard> Fingers crossed
[05:09] <emma> ddellav: do you think Plex is the best thing available for this?
[05:09] <emma> ddellav: i wish Plex was in the repo.
[05:10] <Maynard> partition #1 os SCSI1 (0,0,0) sda as EFIboot  partio#2 )same as above) as ext4 # (same as the first) as swap.
[05:10] <ddellav> i use plex, it's the best i've come across, and there are deb's available to install
[05:10] <ddellav> just go to plex.tv and grab them
[05:10] <ddellav> dpkg -i plex.deb
[05:10] <Maynard> that's what the installer chooses default
[05:12] <Maynard> I'm installing but it always crashes on the grub2 install.  If it does it again I'll be back with details.
[05:16] <emma> Maynard: yeah but I found that Plex keeps changing year to year and makes you reinstall it and some shows that used to work now say they have no codec
[05:16] <emma> it sucks
[05:16] <ddellav> thats very strange
[05:17] <ddellav> i've been using it for around 5 years or so without issues
[05:17] <ddellav> its handled everything i've thrown at it
[05:17] <ddellav> mkv, avi, mp4, etc etc
[05:19] <Maynard> I find with Ubuntu I get better results using not the new shiny but a last release type thing as pretty much all the programs I want I can get and the older finished (not so buggy) works best.
[05:20] <Maynard> But each to his/her own.
[05:20] <Maynard> emma @
[05:20] <ddellav> thats a good philosophy for most things :)
[05:24] <emma> Maynard: yeah but where can I get an older version of plex? Im not sure Plex even lets you do that. Keep in mind I have to use it with Roku
[05:25] <ddellav> i use the latest version, it works with everything and plays on my roku an apple tv without issues
[05:26] <Maynard> emme sounds like ddellav might know more than me
[05:57] <MarkProffitt> Can I install Ubuntu on a USB disk drive without booting from a flash drive?  I am running Ubunutu now. I want to make another install.
[05:58] <sysRPL> hello
[05:58] <sysRPL> hey uhm ... i have this weird thing. i setup an ec2 micro instance with ubuntu. i installed 2 main things on it: a socks proxy dante, and openvpn
[05:58] <sysRPL> but now when i monitor the ingoing/outgoing connections ... this host xxx.members.linode.com keeps appearing in my ec2 list of network connections
[05:59] <sysRPL> see this screen shot -> http://cache.getlazarus.org/images/iftop-linode.gif
[05:59] <sysRPL> i installed dante from a wget to deb
[06:00] <capri> HI, anyone in this channel has the Bose QC35?
[06:00] <vlt> MarkProffitt: Yes, of course. My favourite way is using debootstrap.
[06:00] <capri> I have some problems with those headphones and ubu 16.04
[06:01] <sysRPL> on this page, is it possible (likely) the author linked to a deb containing a trojan? http://www.binarytides.com/setup-dante-socks5-server-on-ubuntu/
[06:01] <capri> I have them connected to my laptop, but out of curiosity, as soon as I select the mic from the headphone as the default input device it automatically changes my audio profile back to HSP/HFP
[06:01] <sysRPL> http://ppa.launchpad.net/dajhorn/dante/ubuntu/pool/main/d/dante/dante-server_1.4.1-1_amd64.deb
[06:04] <vlt> sysRPL: I’d say possible. Likely, I can’t say.
[06:07] <Tadassssss> Hey everyone, I wanted to ask a quick question and couldn't find an answer on google. The thing is I have an ubuntu 14.04 vps on DigitalOcean and I want to migrate to somewhere else, because DigitalOcean is way too expensive. How could I easily clone the server from DigitalOcean to another VPS with the same Ubuntu version?
[06:08] <sysRPL> vlt: from the blog in question, the author writes "The default Ubuntu repositories have the dante-server package but it is outdated. The version present is 1.1.19 which is quite old and also has some bugs. The authentication feature does not work properly."
[06:08] <sysRPL> vlt, then he posts some tests highlighted in a console, and then posts "wget dante blah" as a deb from launchpad
[06:11] <ddellav> Tadassssss you can't clone it to another provider
[06:11] <ddellav> however you could grab a list of the installed packages and then install those packages on a new server
[06:11] <ddellav> and then copy manually system settings
[06:11] <vlt> sysRPL: I’m not exactly sure what you’re telling me.
[06:12] <Tadassssss> ddellav, oh man that's so sad, so much work to be done now :((( well thanks a lot for your answer!
[06:12] <ddellav> Tadassssss this is why people use containers for their applications
[06:13] <vlt> Tadassssss: You could also rsync the whole thing, preferably when your target isn’t running.
[06:13] <ddellav> if you had containers migrating to a new server would be just a couple commands
[06:13] <Tadassssss> ddellav, but that's too late now? vlt, ok googling that right now
[06:13] <ddellav> Tadassssss yea, but you can learn for next time :)
[06:14] <Tadassssss> okay...
[06:14] <ddellav> and yes, rclone could work but that type of brute-force copy in my experience causes more issues than it's worth
[06:14] <sysRPL> vlt, i created a new ubuntu instance using amazon ec2. i installed 2 packages, one from apt the other from a deb. now when i check my connections, there is a connection from my amazon ec2 instance to a members server at linode
[06:15] <Tadassssss> ddellav, okay, I think I will just reinstall everything and copy my django files to the other server :(
[06:17] <vlt> sysRPL: netstat has a -p flag that tells you which process uses that connection.
[06:17] <sysRPL> ty
[06:36] <Gallomimia> there it goes
[06:36] <Gallomimia> uh hey can someone tell me how i can change the mirror for my system on commandline?
[06:36] <Gallomimia> every time i try to look something up for ubuntu it gives me results for some version from 6 years ago that don't work anymore...
[06:37] <ppang> how can i get airline like blocks in dwm's topbar?
[06:37] <Gallomimia> why i bother to google anymore when this channel exists....
[06:37] <geirha> are you running a release that's no longer supported then?
[06:37] <Gallomimia> not even sure of that yet...
[06:38] <lotuspsychje> Gallomimia: lsb_release -a
[06:38] <Gallomimia> 14.04.1
[06:38] <Gallomimia> grossness :(
[06:39] <Gallomimia> alright. tbh this is an odroid c1 and that stuff came preinstalled
[06:39] <geirha> that's supported, but you should get that upgraded to 14.04.5
[06:39] <Gallomimia> so. i'm open to suggestions.
[06:39] <geirha> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[06:39] <Gallomimia> i'd really like to change mirror 'fore i get into that
[06:40] <Gallomimia> the speed difference will be worth it
[06:40] <Gallomimia> tho maybe my favorite mirror doesn't have arm flavored packages eh?
[06:41] <ducasse> Gallomimia: he'll need to install the hwe stack first, right?
[06:41] <ducasse> geirha: ^^
[06:41] <ducasse> sorry
[06:41] <lotuspsychje> Gallomimia: we dont support external ppa's neither so perhaps disable before upgrade?
[06:41] <Gallomimia> what the hell are you both talking about?
[06:41] <geirha> not sure if there's an easier way than modifying /etc/apt/sources.list manually
[06:41] <lotuspsychje> !hwe
[06:41] <ducasse> Gallomimia: bad tab expand, not intended for you
[06:42] <Gallomimia> k
[06:42] <Gallomimia> thanks geirha
[06:42] <lotuspsychje> Gallomimia: keep your system updated at all times
[06:43] <Gallomimia> lotuspsychje: thanks for the tip pal, but this is the first time i've booted this particular machine
[06:43] <Gallomimia> guess what the first thing i wanted to do was?
[06:44] <Gallomimia> not sure if i want to update it at all. maybe just flash with something new
[06:44] <Gallomimia> meh
[06:45] <Gallomimia> fussing with that is more crap than i care to put up with i guess....
[06:45] <ducasse> Gallomimia: easiest way to switch mirror is probably to use sed or search and replace in an editor
[06:47] <Gallomimia> the easiest?
[06:48] <Gallomimia> that's amazing really...
[06:50] <ducasse> from cli, that is. in gui you have a menu in software and updates.
[07:03] <Jurdoc> slow in here
[07:32] <arahael> Gallomimia: It's important to realise that distribution upgrades tend to be well tested...  But only from the latest packages from the previous release to the next.
[07:42] <parlos> Good Morning, I've got a question wrt. Landscape (standalone) and MAAS. My aim is to use autopilot to deploy OpenStack. In my initial MAAS node commisoned nodes, i only had single nics. Landscape/Autopilot complained, so I hooked up one more network, recommissioned that node. However, Landscape/Autopilot did not detect the change. So I then removed the node, and started it from scratch, and commissioned it.. MAAS detected the new network automatically,

[12:02] <Flaghacker> Is there a non-torrent download for Ubuntu 16.04.3 somewhere? The main download page doesn't have one (https://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop), but there appears to be a torrent for it: (https://www.ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads)

[12:07] <Lachezar> Hey all. (How) Can I add a 6-in-4 tunnel to the Network Manager?
[12:07] <Flaghacker> ioria, thanks! What does Xenial mean here?
[12:07] <leftyfb> Flaghacker: that page does in fact have a direct download
[12:07] <CCCNMOP> Hey. How to deep reset by dconf Unity Desktop ?
[12:07] <ioria> Flaghacker, xenial xerus is the codename of 16.04
[12:08] <CCCNMOP> Unity on Xenial Xerus 16.04.3
[12:08] <Lachezar> Flaghacker: See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_(operating_system)#Releases
[12:08] <Lachezar> Flaghacker: See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_version_history
[12:09] <Flaghacker> That's from 2016 already?
[12:10] <Flaghacker> Is thet the version I actually want if it's for someone with very little ubuntu/linux experience (me)?
[12:10] <Lachezar> Flaghacker: every even year the 04 is Long-Term-Support

[12:10] <aiena> I have the python gobject introspection module but "./configure" fails when trying to do "from gi.repository import Gtk" with error ""checking gobject introspection module Gtk... no
[12:10] <Lachezar> Flaghacker: 16.04 is more stable
[12:10] <aiena> this is for python2 I have "python-gtk" and "python-gobject" installed
[12:11] <aiena> I do not know what I am missing
[12:11] <aiena> * "python-gtk2"
[12:11] <CCCNMOP> How about in Ubuntu 20.04 Thicket Tinamou  make python default shell - replamacment Bash shell
[12:11] <CCCNMOP> ?
[12:11] <aiena> python as a default shell ?
[12:11] <Lachezar> CCCNMOP: you joker *sheesh* ;)
[12:11] <Flaghacker> Thanks everyone for your help!
[12:12] <CCCNMOP> Yep :D
[12:12] <CCCNMOP> re write an script
[12:12] <aiena> CCCNMOP:  Maybe make "fish" shell default
[12:12]  * Lachezar does more often than not open a terminal two type "python" and use the interactive mode.
[12:12] <Lachezar> How about making "fortune" the default shell :)
[12:12] <aiena> Lachezar:  yes python interactive mode is extremely useful I use it as a calculator :P
[12:13] <Lachezar> aiena: Ayee!
[12:13] <aiena> Lachezar: we alrad have "GNOME" to steal the "fortune" so maybe not a good idea
[12:13] <Lachezar> aiena: Bash $(()) is quite limited
[12:13] <aiena> *already
[12:14] <aiena> Lachezar: I embed it in bash like this $("python -c (expr)")
[12:14] <aiena> anyway do you know in which page the python gobject instrospection module "gtk" is in ?
[12:14] <aiena> *package
[12:15] <CCCNMOP> Re-write system script - that way Ubuntu 20.04 Thicket Tinamou  will be more modern system - and python thanks to ctyp and ability tu run *.shared library *.so make Ubuntu way more than another Linux distro
[12:15] <Lachezar> aiena: In python interactive do a 'from gi.repository import Gtk' and see the error message
[12:15] <aiena> "ImportError: cannot import name gtk"
[12:15] <Lachezar> aiena: For me it's in '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/girepository-1.0/Gtk-3.0.typelib'
[12:15] <Lachezar> aiena: Ay.Missing.
[12:16] <Lachezar> aiena: gir1.2-gtk-3.0:amd64: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/girepository-1.0/Gtk-3.0.typelib
[12:16] <ioria> !info  python-gi
[12:16] <CCCNMOP> That way we have more power in system
[12:16] <Lachezar> !info gir1.2-gtk-3.0
[12:16] <CCCNMOP> and fater prototyping
[12:17] <CCCNMOP> This will be huge :D
[12:17] <CCCNMOP> faster*
[12:17] <ioria> aiena, you need python-gtk2 and python-gtk2-dev too, if you want use gtk on python
[12:17] <Lachezar> CCCNMOP: The shell *should* not require programming background. That's why tcsh did not get the traction it deserved (IMVHO)
[12:18] <aiena> I have both those installed
[12:18] <aiena> the gi module is not in those
[12:18] <CCCNMOP> Yes, but we can define  def NewFeture:
[12:18] <Lachezar> Is there any modern replacement for 'aptitude why "package"'?
[12:18] <ioria> aiena, python-gi is installed ?
[12:18] <aiena> yes
[12:18] <aiena> otherwise import gi would not work
[12:18] <aiena> that works
[12:19] <CCCNMOP> and run from python
[12:19] <ioria> aiena, python-gi-dev  ?
[12:19] <aiena> no lets try that
[12:19] <CCCNMOP> This will be Huge improwmnet :D
[12:20] <CCCNMOP> improvement *
[12:20] <aiena> CCCNMOP:  ubuntu should make something like zypper
[12:20] <aiena> too many apt commands
[12:21] <CCCNMOP> All system depend on python 2 no old bash quirks
[12:21] <aiena> ioria:  makes no difference
[12:21] <CCCNMOP> or python 3
[12:21] <aiena> python 2 will never be bash
[12:22] <CCCNMOP> That can be better - python 3 of course :)
[12:22] <aiena> bash will bash python together with other apps for profit and glory
[12:22] <ioria> aiena, can you paste the source file ?
[12:22] <aiena> ioria:  these are the cmake lines https://mail.gnome.org/archives/commits-list/2014-July/msg04872.html
[12:22] <Lachezar> aiena: Did you try installing gir1.2-gtk-3.0
[12:22] <CCCNMOP> Python 3 would be something like power shell to Windows
[12:23] <aiena> Lachezar: no but is there a gtk2 binding
[12:23] <Lachezar> aiena: Ahh... Good question, didn't see that earlier.
[12:23] <CCCNMOP> Python 3 would be for Ubuntu 20.04 Thicket Tinamou something like power shell to Windows
[12:24] <Lachezar> aiena: gir1.2-gtk-2.0 ?
[12:24] <Lachezar> !info gir1.2-gtk-2.0
[12:24] <CCCNMOP> For example the command can be defined
[12:25] <CCCNMOP> scripted rewrite
[12:25] <CCCNMOP> and all can be work
[12:25] <CCCNMOP> "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license"

[12:28] <aiena> Lachezar:  that did it for gtk now I get a "gobject introspection module GooCanvas... no" error
[12:28] <aiena> I have python-goocanvas installed
[12:28] <aiena> I am guessing the gi module here oalso must be in some obscure package
[12:28] <aiena> *also
[12:29] <aiena> must be gir1.2-goocanvas-2.0

[12:31] <bs0d> Are script from /etc/init/ launched on startup?
[12:32] <Lachezar> aiena: I suspect you'll need lots of these gir* packages. Weird though.
[12:32] <Lachezar> aiena: I have many of those installed.
[12:33] <aiena> yeah seems like they are the data packages
[12:33] <aiena> but they should have auto installed too
[12:33] <Lachezar> aiena: More like overly-modular
[12:33] <aiena> only these 2 were needed thanks for the gir1.2 idea
[12:33] <aiena> unusual place to look
[12:34] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[12:39] <coraxx> hi all
[12:39] <coraxx> A quick "sudo"-question ... if I want to read the password for sudo from stdin and run a command with multiple parameter, how is this accomplished ?
[12:39] <aiena> Lachezar:  yeah over modularity can be an issue too
[12:39] <coraxx> i.e. -> echo -e "password" | sudo -S <the command with multiple parameters>
[12:39] <aiena> coraxx:  or temporarily store it in a var used by your bash script and process it
[12:40] <aiena> or use sudo -i
[12:40] <Lachezar> coraxx: sudo does not read password from STDIN, but from the Terminal (AFAIK), that is you can not pipe the password to sudo.
[12:41] <Lachezar> coraxx: otherwise: "sudo command arg1 arg2 arg3"
[12:41] <corentin> coraxx: you never want to type your password on the command line
[12:41] <corentin> and other user on the same box can know your password with ps ax
[12:41] <Lachezar> coraxx: example: "sudo ls -al /var/lib/postgresql/9.6/"
[12:42] <aiena> corentin: true
[12:42] <corentin> coraxx: other than that, sudo is already reading your pass from stdin and allows you specify multiple parameters
[12:42] <corentin> +to
[12:43] <aiena> at max store it in a variable for the lifetime of a script but even that is bad better to use "sudo -i" and then remaining commands if there are multiple
[12:43] <aiena> *run remaining
[12:43] <corentin> coraxx: or better yet, use keychain + ssh for your privleged commands
[12:43] <aiena> for me scripts that should run as root or need modification are never chmod +x'd
[12:43] <corentin> best of both world
[12:44] <Lachezar> coraxx: If you need to run a command with sudo form a script, might I suggest that you add a specific rule to /etc/sudoers for the case
[12:44] <corentin> Lachezar: it doesn't seem very safe, what if the user has write permission on the script?
[12:44] <bs0d> I need some help with x11vnc. Is anyone familiar with it?
[12:44] <corentin> I think it's better to just call sudo from your script and let it do it's job
[12:45] <Lachezar> corentin: Not really relevant, as you put the command in /etc/sudoers, not the script itself.
[12:45] <corentin> Lachezar: what if the user has write access to the script itself?
[12:46] <Lachezar> corentin: He can change the script, but sudo will not run a different command that is not in /etc/sudoers
[12:46] <coraxx> if I do this, it works -->  echo -e "password" | sudo -S /myscripts/script.sh
[12:46]  * Lachezar gasps at coraxx
[12:46] <Lachezar> Really?
[12:47] <corentin> Lachezar: oh you meant to add sudo rules only for specific commands which needs sudo inside the script? If yes, then I agree
[12:47] <Lachezar> corentin: Precisely!
[12:47] <corentin> Lachezar: ok then! just a small misunderstanding but we seem to be on the same page in the end!
[12:47] <Lachezar> corentin: Yep.
[12:47] <coraxx> ...however this fails --> echo -e "password" | sudo -S chmod 777 somefile.txt
[12:48] <corentin> I thought you meant to allow the script as root in sudoers
[12:48] <corentin> coraxx: what error message do you get?
[12:48] <corentin> how does it fail?
[12:49] <corentin> I would try it on my box if I didn't have to type my password on the command line ^^
[12:50] <coraxx> corentin: I get --> sudo: 'chmod 777 file.txt': command not found
[12:50] <coraxx> corentin: yup its a very isecure approach to IT :-)
[12:50] <corentin> coraxx: try sudo sh -c 'chmod 777 file.txt'
[12:50] <coraxx> *insecure
[12:51] <coraxx> corentin: tried it ...doesn't work
[12:51] <corentin> coraxx: then you're doing something wrong, or echo blah | sudo is doing something weird
[12:51] <coraxx> corentin: no wait ...didn't do the sh ...hang on
[12:51] <corentin> ok let's create a dummy account on my box to try it
[12:52] <coraxx> corentin: thanx :-)  ... your command is missing the -S parameter ...where does that fit in ?
[12:53] <corentin> coraxx: I guess you can do this: sudo -S sh -c "chmod ..."
[12:54] <corentin> coraxx: btw on my box it works without -S
[12:54] <corentin> for example: $ echo 12345678 | sudo touch /tmp/blah
[12:54] <corentin> file /tmp/blah is successfully created
[12:55] <corentin> but you should not need the sh -c "" trick
[12:55] <corentin> sudo should work with multiple parameters
[12:56] <coraxx> corentin: u sure it isn't because you are withhin the timeframe where you have already provided the sudo password once ?
[12:56] <corentin> let me check
[12:56] <coraxx> corentin: I get this --> [sudo] password for user: chmod: missing operand after ‘777’
[12:57] <EriC^^> coraxx: what are you trying to do?
[12:59] <corentin> coraxx: ok was doing something wrong, but this is working on my box: $ echo 12345678 | sudo -S touch /tmp/w00t
[12:59] <corentin> and the password was not already typed before
[12:59] <coraxx> EriC^^: I'm trying to "quick fix" a script permission problem, by running a regular "sudo"-command the would give the file I specify the correct permission WITHOUT prompting the user for a password.
[13:00] <donofrio> anyone know how I can export user setting's and xfce settings for vlock and such, I have more than one user on this ubuntu install.....would like them all to have the same setup...export config or?
[13:00] <corentin> coraxx: so you added chmod to sudoers for all those users?
[13:00] <coraxx> corentin: but you "touch" command only uses a single parameter ..try multiple ... like "chmod 775 filename.txt"
[13:00] <donofrio> How do I copy user information like xfce4 compoisite setting and font sizes and the like from one user to another?
[13:00] <corentin> coraxx: one sec
[13:01] <corentin> coraxx: also works
[13:01] <coraxx> corentin: fantastic ... what did you write ?
[13:02] <corentin> echo 12345678 | sudo -S chmod 777 /tmp/blah
[13:02] <EriC^^> coraxx: add it to the sudoers file as ALL ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /path/to/script
[13:02] <EriC^^> coraxx: obviously make sure nobody can delete the script or edit it in any way, else they have a nice root shell
[13:03] <coraxx> EriC^^: I'd rather not ..as it is only for today ... an regulary a password should be entered :-)
[13:04] <coraxx> corentin: IT WORKED!!! thanx !!!
[13:05] <corentin> coraxx: you could write a tiny C prog that takes no parameters to do the execve("chmod", "/static/path.txt") for you, then make this prog suid root
[13:06] <corentin> coraxx: now I'm wondering how this could happen: 14:47:56 < coraxx> ...however this fails --> echo -e "password" | sudo -S chmod 777 somefile.txt
[13:06] <Emmarof> hello
[13:06] <corentin> guess you add quotes around your chmod command
[13:07] <coraxx> corentin: I'm currently running a "prototype" of some software that is running in "user mode" ...but the finished software will run on a server in root-mode, where the creation of files and their permissions is no problem to do.
[13:07] <Emmarof> http://paste.ubuntu.com/25438382/ i get this error when i try booting on ubuntu 14.04
[13:08] <corentin> coraxx: sounds very dangerous
[13:08] <coraxx> corentin: only this week, because it is in use by some unexperienced users who as terminal-access via ssh, I need a "quickfix"
[13:08] <coraxx> *as=has
[13:09] <corentin> coraxx: I meant the final solution with software running as root etc
[13:10] <coraxx> corentin: ...ok well...it will not run as root ..but the point is, that it will run with the rights to change file permissions.
[13:11] <EriC^^> coraxx: i fail to see how this is better, unless i misunderstood what you want, this way you're giving users the password for full root instead of just giving them permissions to run some command as root
[13:12] <coraxx> corentin: the software is a CR2 (Canon Raw Photo File) image web -publisher ...that converts the files to jpeg and copies them to the web ... and then creates a script that renames the files locally, that is run by a user.
[13:13] <corentin> coraxx: seems fun to pentest ^^
[13:14] <coraxx> EriC^^: everything the users a running, is run in user-mode ..except this one little script-creator software that needs to spit out a file, that has execute-permission
[13:15] <EriC^^> coraxx: sure, so why dont you add the user to sudoers as user ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /the/command/you/need/as/root
[13:16] <EriC^^> that way they can only run that specific command, and you dont need to have the password in plaintext too
[13:16] <EriC^^> then just remove it once you dont want it from sudoers again, pretty simple
[13:17] <Ryanar> hey all, having issues with my cronjobs not running and not sure why
[13:17] <EriC^^> Ryanar: try sudo grep CRON /var/log/syslog to see if it ran first
[13:18] <coraxx> EriC^^: OIC what you mean  ... I like the solution I have now as I can control it from my git repository ... when I change the script back or finish the software, the file with the unsafe password disappears automatically from the test computer ....your is a good solution...
[13:19] <coraxx> EriC^^: ...however I would have to remember to log on to this PC and change it back <-- which I know I will forget ;-)
[13:19] <Ryanar> EriC^^ yeah they are showing up there, so maybe they are running, im just not seeing their output do anything
[13:19] <EriC^^> Ryanar: what's the command you're running?
[13:20] <EriC^^> coraxx: alright, as you see fit :)
[13:20] <coraxx> EriC^^: (but thank you for the tip)
[13:20] <Ryanar> 22 9 * * * echo IWASHERE > /tmp/IWASHERE
[13:20] <EriC^^> coraxx: sure, anytime
[13:21] <Ryanar> in the syslog it looks like they are running on my timezone
[13:21] <Ryanar> so 22 9 should run 2 minutes from now
[13:21] <Ryanar> when I finished editing with crontab -e it said crontab: installing new crontab
[13:21] <Ryanar> but I won't see that cron job show up in the syslog
[13:21] <EriC^^> Ryanar: if you try "echo IWASHERE > /tmp/IWASHERE2" in a command prompt as your user does it work?
[13:22] <Ryanar> no output / file made in /tmp/
[13:22] <Ryanar> ok let me route it to my /home/user/
[13:23] <EriC^^> did anything show up in syslog about the 9 22 job?
[13:24] <Ryanar> no, but its weird the latest logs are showing as Aug 31 13:17:01
[13:24] <Ryanar> and it is not 1pm yet in my timezone
[13:24] <Ryanar> so maybe I need to make the cronjob +5 hours to be in UTC?
[13:24] <EriC^^> aha taht must be the issue
[13:25] <EriC^^> Ryanar: i think you should fix the clock so it shows correctly i guess
[13:25] <EriC^^> try pressing "alt+sysrq+s" and see sudo tail /var/log/syslog to see if it gave output
[13:25] <LuMint> hi guys, I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 with kernel 3.13 and a 1920x1080 LCD monitor with xorg radeon drivers. Whenever I install a newer kernel (4+) the sides of the screen got cut off, effectively diminishing what I see to less than 1680x1050px, even though 1920x1080 is still recognized in xrandr as normal resolution. To even see the start menu and task panel below I have to set the resolution to 1680x1050. What could be the reason?
[13:26] <msev-> I have 2 questions, whats the easiest way to use a webpage as a screensaver and have it refresh once and a while (in ubuntu gnome), or how do i set up that i would have a few rss feeds as a screensaver?
[13:26] <msev-> also in ubuntu gnome
[13:26] <Ryanar> er, what is sysrq?
[13:26] <LuMint> sysrq key?
[13:26] <LuMint> or sysrq in general?
[13:26] <LuMint> Ryanar:
[13:26] <EriC^^> msev-: there's an addon for firefox that lets you set the autorefresh rate of a page
[13:26] <Ryanar> yeah what is sysrq key
[13:26] <EriC^^> Ryanar: it's the prntscrn button usually
[13:27] <LuMint> ^
[13:27] <SimonNL> LuMint: make your monitor auto scale by hand
[13:27] <Ryanar> ok ill google what it is on a mac
[13:27] <LuMint> SimonNL: you mean "auto-adjust"?
[13:27] <LuMint> I did that.
[13:27] <LuMint> to no avail.
[13:27] <SimonNL> could be. scaling is a part of that maybe
[13:28] <transhuman_> hi trying to boot a mac book pro core2duo with 2  gig of ram from the lubuntu cd from a usb drive, doesnt seem to want to boot flashing cursor in top left corner...anyone know what I have to do to get it to boot (oh new hard drive in it, old one was badly damaged) no OSX discs except an old 10.4 10.3
[13:28] <LuMint> I've also changed the default monitor setting form "auto" to "wide". The result was that the monitor stretched the 1650x1000  part of the picture to 1920x1080
[13:28] <LuMint> not showing the rest
[13:28] <Ryanar> yeah
[13:28] <LuMint> so, it didn't help either
[13:28] <Ryanar> so the issue is just that I need to set the cronjobs in UTC time
[13:28] <Ryanar> ill just do that
[13:28] <LuMint> SimonNL: thing is, it only happens with kernels newer than 3.16 or 3.18, that is, with any 4 kernel
[13:30] <SimonNL> LuMint: auto scaling was only thing coming up for me.
[13:30] <LuMint> SimonNL: it shouldn't depend on the kernel.
[13:30] <LuMint> why, it couldn't *possibly* depend on the kernel
[13:31] <Ryanar> thanks EriC^^
[13:31] <SimonNL> LuMint: you need someone with more knowledge then I have
[13:32] <LuMint> SimonNL: thanks for your willing to help anyway
[13:33] <SimonNL> LuMint: did you try #radeon as I see was suggested
[13:33] <SimonNL> :)
[13:33] <LuMint> yep, their silent.
[13:33] <LuMint> figured I should also ask here while waiting for an answer
[13:46] <SimonNL> LuMint: whats your monitor brand and type ?
[13:47] <SimonNL> LuMint: and about you trying to find help here. I don't think your nick works in your favor
[13:52] <LuMint> it's a Samsung, SimonNL
[13:53] <LuMint> SimonNL: not when you can quickly google the content of lsb_release ;) Besides, I do run a Ubuntu
[13:58] <leftyfb> LuMint: what is the exact kernel you have the issue with?
[14:00] <LuMint> leftyfb: supported 4.* kernels
[14:00] <LuMint> like 4.3, 4.4
[14:00] <leftyfb> LuMint: what is the exact kernel you have the issue with?
[14:02] <leftyfb> LuMint: give me the exact kernel number/version of a kernel you're having the issue with
[14:06] <LuMint> leftyfb: it's linux_4.4.0-63.84/
[14:06] <JuJUBee> Just did do-release-upgrade on my server to bring to 16.04.03.  Process seems to have failed.  I cannot get to GUI.  Did dpkg --configure -a and started working then "Processing was halted because there were too many errors."  What do I do now?
[14:08] <leftyfb> LuMint: sudo apt-get install linux-image-extra-4.4.0-63-generic, then reboot and try it
[14:08] <LuMint> leftyfb: okay
[14:09] <CCCNMOP> An run command it's simple - assing to varible define function -  the python interpreter replacing bash it's fine idee in Ubuntu 20.04
[14:10] <leftyfb> CCCNMOP: can we help you with something?
[14:10] <CCCNMOP> Why monitor on 2 card wont work in clone mode on open source driver automatic ?
[14:11] <CCCNMOP> I mean 2 - second :D
[14:11] <leftyfb> CCCNMOP: talk to the open source driver developers
[14:11] <CCCNMOP> You mean guys of MESA ?
[14:12] <leftyfb> CCCNMOP: Why are you using MESA?
[14:13] <CCCNMOP> Guys of xserver-xorg-video-radeon-lts-xenial ?
[14:13] <CCCNMOP> this 2 cards are radeon.
[14:13] <leftyfb> CCCNMOP: then you're using radeon, not MESA
[14:14] <leftyfb> CCCNMOP: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver
[14:16] <CCCNMOP> The code of detecting monitor relay on radeon driver?
[14:17] <JuJUBee> Anyone help with botched 14.04->16.04 upgrade?
[14:17] <CCCNMOP> Or is provide ?
[14:17] <leftyfb> CCCNMOP: yes, displaying is dependent on display drivers
[14:18] <CCCNMOP> So basically Monitor is detected by this driver ?
[14:18] <CCCNMOP> The second monitor on second card ?
[14:18] <leftyfb> sure
[14:18] <BluesKaj> JuJUBee, bet you forgot to update and upgrade your 14.04 packages before upgrading to 16.04
[14:19] <JuJUBee> BluesKaj, nope
[14:19] <CCCNMOP> How it's is exacly work in driver side ?
[14:19] <CCCNMOP> llvm
[14:19] <CCCNMOP> it's use to compile ?
[14:19] <CCCNMOP> c/c++
[14:19] <CCCNMOP> or c
[14:19] <CCCNMOP> ?
[14:20] <leftyfb> CCCNMOP: are you looking to get your monitors working or are you looking to discuss the inner workings of display drivers?
[14:21] <CCCNMOP> I love to by practitioner - but looking for somebody who guide me by code in details
[14:22] <ducasse> CCCNMOP: then try #radeon
[14:22] <CCCNMOP> LOL :D
[14:22] <CCCNMOP> appreciate thank you :D
[14:22] <BluesKaj> JuJUBee, you can give some details if you want help with your issues, maybe someone will have an answer
[14:23] <JuJUBee> What detail should I provide?  output from apt -f install?  dpkg --configure -a?
[14:24] <JuJUBee> or something else?
[14:24] <ducasse> JuJUBee: were you using any ppas before you upgraded?
[14:26] <Guest18037> I cannot, for the life of me, get libreoffice to uninstall
[14:27] <Guest18037> i checked online, all of the sudo apt-get -f remove libreoffice* doesn't work. I get a message saying python3-uno has unmet dependencies for libreoffice-core
[14:30] <brainwash> Guest18037: try sudo apt-get -f remove libreoffice* python3-uno
[14:31] <Guest18037> yea, no luck.
[14:33] <BluesKaj> Guest18037, did you try purging

[14:40] <ducasse> JuJUBee: again, were you using any ppas before you upgraded?
[14:42] <JuJuBee> ducasse: sorry, my network connection died and I did not see your question.  I don't see any in sources.list
[14:42] <ducasse> JuJuBee: what about /etc/apt/sources.list.d?
[14:43] <JuJuBee> Looks like there are a few  google-chrome  ubuntu-mate and webupd8team
[14:44] <ducasse> JuJuBee: that's probably the root of your proble, you should have purged those first.
[14:45] <JuJuBee> ducasse: what can I do now that I did not purge them?

[14:50] <Neepu> Hi. Could any of you please help me make nautilus list a system-wide mounted drive?
[14:51] <Neepu> Got it mounted via /etc/fstab, and it is fully functional. But nautilus won't show it as a drive.
[14:52] <leftyfb> Neepu: you'll need to navigate to it's mount point
[14:52] <Neepu> can you explain further?
[14:53] <leftyfb> Neepu: where do you have it mounted?
[14:53] <Neepu>  /mnt/files
[14:53] <leftyfb> ok, then go to /mnt/files in nautilus
[14:53] <ioria> JuJuBee, looks like thos 2 pkgs, are the problem (at least, for now) ; so i'd try to check /etc/shadows for duplicates and remove squid
[14:53] <Neepu> sorry, what i mean is that i want it to be listed in the sidebar of nautilus
[14:54] <Malinux> hei RoyK_Heime
[14:54] <ioria> JuJuBee, libuuid1:amd64 and  squid, i mean
[14:54] <RoyK_Heime> any idea why I can't get into this channel with my usual nick, RoyK? Banned?
[14:54] <BluesKaj> Neepu, mount it in /media/yourusername , simple
[14:54] <leftyfb> Neepu: you can also drag it's mount point over to the left under favorites to have it easily accessible. Go to /mnt, drag the "files" directory over to the bottom left area of nautilus, maybe above where it says "Connect to Server"
[14:54] <RoyK_Heime> Malinux: hi, dear :)
[14:54] <Neepu> aight' so i'll have to bookmark it for system wide mounts
[14:55] <Neepu> but session wide (at /mount) are listed fine?
[14:55] <ducasse> Neepu: you can add the mount option 'comment=x-gvfs-show' in the fstab ebtry
[14:55] <ducasse> *entry
[14:55] <JuJuBee> ioria  there are 2 libuuid entries in shadow, which do I remove?
[14:56] <ioria> JuJuBee, run  pwck
[14:57] <JuJuBee> ioria should I add the users that are missing in shadow?
[14:57] <Neepu> ducasse, tried it and mount -a. however no effect in nautilus, so may have to restart additional processes?
[14:57] <ioria> JuJuBee, can you paste the output ?

[15:12] <Kanov> I am having been facing a serious problem with "apt-get update" for few weeks now and I am unsure what to do. I have manually changed mirrors through /etc/apt/sources.list but that didn't work either
[15:13] <Kanov> the error I keep getting is this:

[15:13] <Kanov> can someone please give me a healthy and a workable solution
[15:14] <StreetTrees> Change a mirrors
[15:14] <Kanov> StreetTrees: i already did that through /etc/apt/sources.list as i just said now
[15:16] <Kanov> any other way?
[15:16] <Lachezar> Kanov: Do you have any proxies at the place? This link is proper
[15:16] <Kanov> Lachezar: i don't think so
[15:16] <Kanov> Lachezar: what do you mean this link is not proper?
[15:16] <Lachezar> Kanov: do a command line: curl --silent 'http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial-security/main/binary-i386/by-hash/SHA256/89bed31125251162e3ca8862c8a539dd87e2482e9f9ea3e4750d24428c49abb6' | sha256sum

[15:17] <Lachezar> Kanov: the link *is* proper, I can download it, and it matches the SHA256 sum
[15:17] <Kanov> strange.
[15:17] <Lachezar> Kanov: This looks fine. Maybe some caching issues.
[15:17] <Kanov> is there not a way to get rid of this error?
[15:18] <pavlos> Kanov: sudo apt clean then sudo rm -r /var/lib/apt/lists/ then sudo apt update
[15:19] <Lachezar> Kanov: what pavlos says should help
[15:20] <Kanov> yeah that worked
[15:20] <Kanov> thank you very much, pavlos!
[15:20] <Kanov> and you too, Lachezar
[15:20] <Kanov> finally my headache is gone
[15:20] <JuJuBee> ioria: any other suggestions?

[15:29] <ioria> JuJuBee,  about libuuid1:amd64 and  squid  ?
[15:29] <JuJuBee> ioria: there are a few users at the bottom of my passwd/shadow file (systemd-timesync, systemd-network, systemd-resolve, sustemd-bus-proxy and _apt)  should I remove them?
[15:29] <JuJuBee> ioria: what about those?
[15:30] <ioria> JuJuBee,  if you run sudo pwck and sudo grpck they will prompt you if you want to correct ...  say 'yes '
[15:30] <JuJuBee> ioria, to all the errors?
[15:30] <ioria> JuJuBee,  yes

[15:33] <foist> I have a dual screen setup and the scaling on my external display is all messed up. I can't seem to fix it, following any guides I've seen online. Can anyone help me out?
[15:34] <Lachezar> foist: Is the external screen the same resolution as the built-in?
[15:34] <akik> foist: you can tell xorg to ignore dpi which in turn fixes it
[15:35] <akik> foist: https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/6w98zw/heres_my_fine_laptop_current_am_16_proud_of_this/dm7883z/
[15:35] <foist> No, they are different resolutions.
[15:37] <Lachezar> foist: Then you'll need to disable the 'Screen Mirror' option first.
[15:37] <foist> Screen mirror? It's not mirrored, it's extended.
[15:38] <Lachezar> foist: Also: what flavour of Ubuntu? (Xubuntu, Kubuntu, etc.)?
[15:38] <foist> Ubuntu 16.04, using Gnome DE
[15:38] <aegray> nacc: thank you!
[15:39] <Nico1705> Hey, I'm looking for a script that would test StackClash vuln' on Ubuntu, I already found the one for RHEL, does one exist for Ubuntu too ?
[15:40] <nacc> aegray: yw
[15:41] <Lachezar> foist: Do you use this? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DisplayConfigGTK
[15:42] <gonyere> So, I've been running Ubuntu 17.10 for a couple months now and its been working splendidly. However, it just rebooted and the launcher is no longer auto-hiding, and I cannot access the 'Appearances' section of system settings to change it - it is simply not there.
[15:43] <foist> Lachezar: not that I'm aware of.
[15:44] <foist> rebooting brb
[15:45] <EriC^^> gonyere: /join #ubuntu+1 for 17.10
[15:45] <gonyere> k
[15:49] <foist> Lachezar: should I be using that DisplayConfigGTK thing?
[15:49] <akik> foist: did you try that xorg config snippet?
[15:49] <foist> akik: when I added that file and rebooted, my DE would fail to start.
[15:50] <akik> :(
[15:51] <Gallomimia> bah. why'd i leave this open?
[15:52] <Gallomimia> so, i've really missed out on some things. ubuntu-mate is now.... ubuntu?
[15:52] <akik> Gallomimia: ubuntu will use gnome 3.x, not mate as default. there'll still be ubuntu mate
[15:53] <foist> If I launch chrome with `GDK_SCALE=1 google-chrome`, it looks okay on my external, but tiny on the laptop.
[15:53] <Gallomimia> oh. uh... mate is that gnome 2+ ?
[15:53] <Gallomimia> see i'm way out of touch :(
[15:53] <akik> Gallomimia: mate has the old gnome 2.x codebase
[15:53] <Gallomimia> right right... and updates from there
[15:56] <foist> Any other ideas with my scaling issues?
[16:02] <foist> I think the issue is that my internal display is hidpi while the external is not.
[16:03] <akik> foist: try debugging the config file. it worked for me
[16:03] <akik> foist: i noticed that the path of it wrong (not that it matters), but own configs should be put in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d (which doesn't exist by default)
[16:04] <foist> akik: is `<default monitor>` supposed to be replaced with a real identifier?
[16:04] <akik> foist: nope
[16:05] <foist> I'm not too familiar with these matters. How would I debug something like this?
[16:06] <Lachezar> foist: I'm not using GE (using Xfce), so I don't know the UI.
[16:06] <Lachezar> s/GE/Gnome/
[16:06] <akik> foist: when xorg starts, it'll write the log file in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[16:10] <foist> akik: oh, you need more than just that in your xorg file?
[16:10] <akik> foist: nope
[16:10] <foist> http://dpaste.com/2C738HF
[16:10] <akik> foist: just that snippet
[16:11] <akik> foist: do you have it as Identifier     "<default monitor>"
[16:12] <foist> akik: pure copy/paste
[16:12] <akik> foist: starts with Section, ends with EndSection ?
[16:12] <foist> Yes, I can try again... maybe I messed up?
[16:13] <akik> foist: paste the file now
[16:15] <foist> brb rebooting
[16:17] <Neepu> Anyone tried changing default path for Download, Photos dir etc?
[16:17] <Neepu> I've tried changing ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs but it keeps getting reset at boot
[16:17] <Neepu> Would appreciate suggestions
[16:18] <foist> akik: http://dpaste.com/1T7YPFM rebooted with that. It doesn't appear to do anything at all.
[16:18] <akik> foist: what's the file name?
[16:18] <akik> foist: sorry...
[16:18] <foist> akik: it's..
[16:18] <akik> foist: you need to mkdir xorg.conf.d
[16:19] <akik> foist: then put that file as 60-force-edid.conf
[16:19] <foist> And what should the file be called?
[16:19] <foist> got it, brb
[16:20] <akik> foist: you can play with the dpi value to see which value works best for you
[16:22] <foist> akik: doesn't appear to do anything at all
[16:26] <akik> foist: sorry i'm baffled
[16:26] <foist> akik: What is it supposed to do?
[16:26] <capella> How does Ubuntu release cycle work? I'm on 17.04/Daily update and I have (I believe) this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/1623856
[16:26] <capella> The status on the bug fix says it's been "released"  :-/
[16:27] <akik> foist: it'll ignore the dpi value that the monitor is telling your graphics card and ignore it, thus giving you the choice to choose your own dpi value
[16:27] <JonelethIrenicus> why is pip included in ubuntu if you aren't suppose to use it?
[16:30] <Lachezar> JonelethIrenicus: You *can* use pip, but *should* *not* do so, especially for stuff that is available as .deb packages.
[16:30] <JonelethIrenicus> man the way python packages are managed is a mess
[16:31] <akik> foist: are you running gnome?
[16:33] <nacc> JonelethIrenicus: Lachezar: alternatively, don't use any packaged stuff, just use pip. I think the primary issue for most users is mixing them
[16:33] <foist> akik: yes
[16:33] <nacc> JonelethIrenicus: you absolutely can use pip, you just need to know what you're doing :)
[16:33] <JonelethIrenicus> nacc: ya i understand that but the way the distributions and python works is stupid
[16:34] <akik> foist: have you played with the monitor options? there should be something called scale there
[16:34] <JonelethIrenicus> then creating an entirely new package to solve a problem that should of been done different to begin with
[16:34] <JonelethIrenicus> such as snaps
[16:34] <foist> akik: there is resolution, but not scale.
[16:34] <JonelethIrenicus> i mean sandboxing is good, but what the hell
[16:35] <akik> foist: if you run "xdpyinfo | grep resolution" what does it say?
[16:36] <acresearch> people, is there a way to search an FTP server?
[16:37] <foist> akik: resolution:    96x96 dots per inch
[16:37] <nacc> JonelethIrenicus: you are welcome to try and solve these problems yourself.
[16:37] <akik> foist: ok that's what i feared. i heard (not certain) that gnome hard codes it
[16:46]  * Lachezar hates the mixup between density and resolution
[16:50] <JonelethIrenicus> nacc: i would but i dont have that much time to work on the problem .. gotta make a living
[17:03] <heller_> hey
[17:04] <heller_> i've done a samba share with ubuntu, which i suppose is read only for guests and write for certain group
[17:04] <heller_> not perhaps a question for the right guys, but how can i make windows ask for the credentials?
[17:06] <Peyam> I j ust installed gcc-4.7 but gcc -v
[17:06] <Peyam> give nothing
[17:07] <xteejx> Hi all. I'm trying to disable an html button for 10 seconds, but I'm not sure how to do it. It's all really confusing. Can someone take a quick peek at some code and help at all please?
[17:07] <nacc> Peyam: -v is verbose, you want --version, i think
[17:08] <Peyam> nacc, I installed gcc-4.7
[17:08] <Peyam> nacc, I installed gcc-4.7. update-alternatives --query gcc doesnt show it
[17:08] <akik> heller_: doesn't it ask for your credentials at all?
[17:09] <nacc> Peyam: does /usr/bin/gcc-4.7 work?
[17:09] <akik> heller_: i've noticed if you add the user in samba with smbpasswd and the username and password match what you have on windows, it'll just work(tm)
[17:09] <Peyam> nacc gcc-4.7: fatal error: no input files
[17:09] <Peyam> compilation terminated.
[17:10] <nacc> Peyam: so it's installed, i'm not sure on the alternatives part
[17:10] <nacc> Peyam: you probably need to install gcc for there to be an alternative to gcc
[17:10] <Peyam> how can I choose as default
[17:10] <Peyam> nacc, done that too
[17:10] <nacc> Peyam: if gcc is isntall `gcc -v` shouldn't be silent
[17:12] <heller_> akik: no
[17:12] <Peyam> nacc, no :(
[17:12] <heller_> it does not ask
[17:17] <heller_> akik: any ideas?
[17:19] <akik> heller_: have you used smbpasswd to define the samba users?
[17:19] <heller_> yes
[17:19] <heller_> one
[17:19] <akik> heller_: and you only get an error when you try to connect?
[17:19] <heller_> i can open the folder, but cant write to it
[17:20] <geirha> Peyam: won't setting CC=gcc-4.7 suffice?
[17:20] <heller_> i want a folder which i can write if logged in and have access
[17:20] <heller_> but so guests can READ from ti
[17:21] <akik> heller_: when i use samba the first time with map network drive, i get a username/password prompt
[17:22] <akik> heller_: that's why i don't understand why it doesn't ask you. which guide did you follow?
[17:23] <heller_> akik: kind of many
[17:23] <heller_> :I
[17:23] <heller_> https://pastebin.com/fb23wMN4 share config
[17:23] <heller_> changed guest ok = no - and it asks for login
[17:24] <akik> heller_: you're missing the [global] config
[17:24] <heller_> hold on
[17:25] <heller_> https://pastebin.com/8k25AC0v
[17:25] <heller_> hmm
[17:25] <heller_> testparm does not see the end of that share?
[17:25] <akik> heller_: i can share my config too
[17:26] <akik> heller_: https://pastebin.com/raw/yCp64Xnb
[17:30] <heller_> mmm
[17:30] <heller_> how can i get a share which is read only if you're not logging in
[17:32] <akik> heller_: sorry i don't know. i just paste that config in place and go :)
[17:32] <heller_> ok :)
[17:33] <pavlos> heller_: samba shares files -- does not distinguish if you're logged in
[17:33] <CoderEurope> Hiyas, How do I change my DNS setting to allow for google server to perform this task ?
[17:33] <heller_> pavlos: any ideas how to make it ask for login if i try to write?
[17:33] <CoderEurope> *** IN CLI
[17:34] <Ben64> CoderEurope: what task
[17:34] <pavlos> heller_: nope ... the writable = yes|no is not conditional
[17:34] <CoderEurope> Ben64 at the moment, I am using my ISP's dns server to look-up stuff - I want google servers to-do that.
[17:35] <pavlos> heller_: unless you define 2 shares, one for read, one for write
[17:35] <Ben64> CoderEurope: open up your network manager and set dns servers
[17:35] <heller_> hmm
[17:35] <heller_> any way i could speed up the file transfer?
[17:35] <pavlos> heller_:  /plex/libary is read only to anyone in your network
[17:37] <pavlos> heller_:  check this ... https://askubuntu.com/questions/88108/samba-share-read-only-for-guests-read-write-for-authenticated-users
[17:38] <heller_> it does not work
[17:38] <heller_> read only has to be boolean
[17:38] <heller_> ah lower..
[17:39] <CoderEurope> okay cheers.
[17:40] <akik> pavlushka: thanks. i didn't know that you could set read only = yes and still have write access
[17:40] <akik> pavlos: ^-
[17:40] <pavlos> akik: some comments read, it does not work.
[17:40] <emma> How can I tell which version of Ubuntu I'm running
[17:41] <pavlos> emma: lsb_release -a
[17:41] <emma> thanks
[17:41] <pavlos> akik: I thought read only is a boolean, yes|no
[17:42] <emma> Im running 16.04 is that okay?
[17:43] <heller_> pavlos: ill try it thanks
[17:43] <pavlos> emma: sure, the description might say 16.04.3 LTS
[17:43] <emma> pavlos: yeah it says 16.04.1 LTS actually.
[17:44] <emma> pavlos: is it a good version>
[17:44] <pavlos> emma: yes, LTS is long term support, then next LTS will be 18.04
[17:44] <nacc> emma: you are probably a little out of date, then
[17:45] <nacc> emma: does `sudo apt update; sudo apt full-upgrade` indicate there are packages to install (or using the UI for software)?
[17:45] <emma> nacc: im doing a sudo apt-get update right now.
[17:48] <Sia-> hi
[17:48] <emma> Im going to try installing emby has anyone used that?
[17:49] <brainwash> !anyone
[17:50] <emma> !you
[17:51] <emma> 13:50 <ubottu> Sorry, I don't know anything about you
[17:51] <nacc> emma: basically, this is a support channel -- such general questions don't belong here
[17:51] <nacc> emma: brainwash was probably trying to see if there was a FAQ for such questions
[17:52] <brainwash> nacc: right. this one was deleted :/
[17:52] <nacc> brainwash: yep, i think so
[17:52] <emma> !-anyone
[17:53] <emma> brainwash, nacc it was probably deleted because it was a snarky comment.
[17:54] <nacc> emma: not especially -- i don't know the history. But in any case, "anyone" style questions are not good for this channel. Just like polls, etc.
[17:54] <brainwash> emma: have you installed it in the meantime?
[17:54] <emma> brainwash: im working on updating/upgrading before I install it but Im planning to!
[17:54] <brainwash> good luck then :)
[17:57] <emma> brainwash: thank you!
[18:00] <emma> brainwash: you know what the problem is with Ubuntu over the years -- if you don't really have very complicated needs it pretty much works well enough that you don't necessarily learn a lot about Linux.
[18:00] <pavlos> emma: look for the ubuntu 16.04 section ... https://www.addictivetips.com/ubuntu-linux-tips/emby-media-server-on-linux/
[18:01] <brainwash> emma: I guess that's ture
[18:01] <brainwash> true
[18:09] <foist> I have an external display with my laptop running Ubuntu 16.04 Gnome DE. I can't seem to get the scaling right between the two. Can anyone help?

[19:54] <ben_nabiy> I am stuck with a kernel that is partially installed and will not remove
[19:54] <ben_nabiy> Ubuntu-Mate 16.04
[19:56] <ben_nabiy> http://termbin.com/r5p5 is the error I see
[19:56] <kenrin> How can a kernel be partially installed ?
[19:57] <ben_nabiy> partially uninstalled
[20:05] <fr0tzed> kenrin, lol
[20:05] <fr0tzed> ben_nabiy, when are you getting that
[20:06] <fr0tzed> at boot ?
[20:06] <ben_nabiy> when installing packages
[20:06] <ben_nabiy> or removing etc
[20:06] <ben_nabiy> The kernel got snaffued when trying to upgrade the zfsonlinux version
[20:07] <fr0tzed> but you can use your client
[20:07] <fr0tzed> that means it got a kernel
[20:07] <kenrin> Why don't you remove that kernel it is throwing errors for
[20:07] <pavlos> ben_nabiy: can you remove it with sudo dpkg --purge <kernel info> ?
[20:07] <ben_nabiy> pavlos, dpkg does not show it as installed
[20:08] <fr0tzed> you tried upgrading ur kernel?
[20:09] <ben_nabiy> fr0tzed: I tried to upgrade the ZoL, but it required manually patching the .ko into the kernel, and then I tried to remove the kernel, but that package would not remove
[20:09] <ben_nabiy> I am booted to a different kernel
[20:10] <fr0tzed> ok, hmm interesting
[20:10] <pavlos> ben_nabiy: does this .91 kernel appear in /boot? can you manually rm those entries
[20:10] <ben_nabiy> pavlos: when I give your command, it gives the same error
[20:10] <fr0tzed> you get the same error everytime you execute a command ?
[20:11] <ben_nabiy> anything regarding apt
[20:11] <ben_nabiy> pavlos: that kernel does not exist in /boot
[20:11] <fr0tzed> hmm
[20:11] <ben_nabiy> pavlos: it is just the -extra package which is stuck
[20:11] <ben_nabiy> I think the /lib/udev/zvol etc is put there from ZoL
[20:12] <pavlos> ben_nabiy: sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-extra-4.4.0-91
[20:12] <Jurdoc> what are you running, G?
[20:13] <ben_nabiy> pavlos: tried that... will do again though
[20:14] <pavlos> ben_nabiy: does sudo apt-get install -f fix things?
[20:15] <ben_nabiy> http://termbin.com/kdef reinstall

[20:24] <UserUS> Hello. I was wondering, I got a new SSD and I want to move my ubuntu set up to the new drive. If I use the back up app in ubuntu 16.4.3 can I only restore that backup with 16.4.3 or can I install the latest LTS and still restore it?
[20:28] <[n0mad]> 16.04 is the latest LTS
[20:29] <pavlos> ben_nabiy: sudo dpkg --configure -a
[20:29] <b-yeezi> more broadly, Deja Dup (a.k.a Backups) has no problem restoring to different versions of ubuntu
[20:30] <b-yeezi> If all you are moving is user data, this is fine. If you want to move the entire install, It's better to use something like dd
[20:31] <ben_nabiy> pavlos: http://termbin.com/6cuo
[20:31] <b-yeezi> or clonezilla
[20:32] <pavlos> ben_nabiy: seems 91 and 93 are half installed/configured. Any chance you can reboot to another kernel and then remove them?
[20:33] <ben_nabiy> pavlos: this is from another kernel, and this is what we have
[20:42] <pavlos> ben_nabiy: sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq <kernel 91>
[20:45] <ben_nabiy> http://termbin.com/sjyh
[20:47] <Gallomimia> sucks to not be regged today
[20:47] <pavlos> ben_nabiy: I don't know about those 2 errors in the last pastebin, I'll search
[20:48] <singlemale35> hi i just upgraded from ubunt 16.04 to 17.10 (daily build) and now on boot i get the error uknown file system
[20:49] <leftyfb> singlemale35: why did you upgrade from a stable OS to 3 versions ahead to an unreleased/unsupported version?
[20:49] <leftyfb> singlemale35: for support with unreleased versions of ubuntu still under development, /join #ubuntu+1
[20:56] <ben_nabiy> pavlos: I think they are related to the initramfs hooks for ZFS
[21:09] <pavlos> ben_nabiy: is there a diff in the status and status-old files in /var/lib/dpkg/
[21:10] <ben_nabiy> no diff
[21:16] <pavlos> ben_nabiy: look in /var/lib/dpkg/status and find the package linux-image-4.4.0-91 ? What does the next line (status) say?
[21:18] <ben_nabiy> linux-image-extra... deinstall ok half-installed
[21:18] <ben_nabiy> and just linux-image... deinstall ok half-configured
[21:28] <pavlos> ben_nabiy: one suggestion ... 1. copy that status file to a backup. Edit the status file as root and remove those lines for package 4.4.0-91 (and -extra) make sure you dont add more linefeedss. Then, try an apt update
[21:30] <ben_nabiy> remove which lines, the whole entry for 4.4.0-91?
[21:30] <ben_nabiy> or just status line?
[21:35] <pavlos> ben_nabiy: the whole entry, from Package: to Package: Mine has about 26 lines (7302-7326).
[21:35] <ben_nabiy> pavlos, fixing the zfs issues, see if that will work
[21:35] <pavlos> ben_nabiy: ok ... Im not sure if fixing the status file will make dpkg happy
[21:37] <ben_nabiy> manually patched in the missing udev rules and such, seems to make dpkg happy
[21:37]  * ben_nabiy sighs
[21:37] <pavlos> ben_nabiy: phew ...
[21:44] <ben_nabiy> now, clearing out the old kernels
[21:45] <ben_nabiy> I wish launchpad was not so slow...
[21:45]  * ben_nabiy sighs again.
[21:48] <kenrin> What do I need to install for ansible modules to work on 16
[21:50] <ben_nabiy> do the hwe kernels contain the zfs modules?
[21:51] <kenrin> nevermind I found it.  python-minimal not python2.7
[22:12] <fuser> why can't I trigger --help and --version in the echo program? It just outputs it! I'm on Ubuntu 17.04.
[22:13] <fuser> man page says it should exist, GNU coreutils does check for it
[22:14] <kenrin> because you are using bash when you do that
[22:14] <kenrin> not the GNU
[22:14] <kenrin> /bin/echo --version works fine
[22:14] <fuser> oh!
[22:23] <fuser> kenrin: do you know how programs like youtube-dl support piping? Do they first check somehow whether they should write to stdout and if not they write to a file?
[22:26] <kenrin> I could check the source to find out but I'm not that curious =o
[22:37] <vlt> Hello. When I run `cat file1 file2 | pv ...`, where does pv know the percentage and ETA?
[22:39] <vlt> Actually it’s `cat  file1 file2 | pv > /some/block/device`. So maybe it uses the size of the *target* block device to estimate?
[22:49] <tremblerz> Hi all! I want to change 802.1x properties for my ethernet adapter but the problem is that I have server version this time. Any suggestions for doing that?
[22:54] <vlt> tremblerz: I’m not sure what 802.1x properties are but maybe ethtool could help.
[23:03] <tremblerz> sorry, I meant protected eap
[23:03] <tremblerz> vlt
[23:16] <Loshki> tremblerz: somewhere in here I'm guessing: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Network802.1xAuthentication
