ycyclistAnybody know of a utility to take Bourneshell family, or even just Bash scripts and convert all sourced resources inside the script to embedded code?00:02
AnnaRooksi tried to dd the live iso to /dev/sdb2, as well as mounting and copying to a new fat32 partition, neither worked00:10
AnnaRooksfirst method said isolinux.bin was corrupt or missing00:11
AnnaRookssecond method says not a bootable drive00:11
kenrinSounds like your machine is not booting it correctly.  Does it work if you set the usb as the first boot device in bios?00:19
Loshkiycyclist: something like this? https://github.com/neurobin/shc00:19
kenrinAnnaRooks: Wait, did you dd to sdb1 ?  You need to dd it to the drive itself not a partition00:20
AnnaRookskenrin: yea, i knew that from past tries, but gave it a try anyways, need to neep the data on the usb00:26
kenrinYeah that isn't going to work if you need to keep any data00:27
AnnaRooksthe second method worked after i installed syslinux to it, but then it threw some error about initramfs00:29
TJ-AnnaRooks: did you mean to write the ISO into a partition (/dev/sdb2). It isn't designed for that, it is designed to be written directly from the start of the device (/dev/sdb)00:34
TJ-AnnaRooks: ahhh... I see you confirmed that with kenrin.00:35
theoremanyone here use tinyproxy ?01:26
theoremI am trying to avoid using an upstream proxy.  But the config options seem intent on forcing me to use one.01:26

owen1I have Ubuntu 16.04 on carbon x1 1st gen and there is no volume from the HDMI of the external monitor (LG). The audio device is Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 04). I see HDMI/DisplayPort in the sounds settings but switching to it doesn't solve it. Any tips?03:21
vfwowen1: pavucontrol03:23
owen1i tried using it03:23
owen1vfw: what exactly should i tweak there? i tried all the options under settings03:23
vfwowen1: No volume output to HDMI from _____________?03:24
owen1as soon as i switch to digital stereo, i don't hear the sound03:24
owen1btw, in the playback tab there i see the audio bar/indicator going up and down03:25
owen1vfw: sorry, can you repeat your last question?03:25
vfwowen1: so you "switch to digital stereo"?03:25
owen1yeah. i see two digtal stereos:03:25
vfwowen1: Where?  Under "Playback"?03:26
owen11. Digital Stereo Output + Analog Stereo input 2. Digital Stereo Output03:26
owen1no, under configuration, built-in audio03:27
vfwowen1: What do you see under "Output Devices"?03:27
owen1in the playback i see the audio bar moving since i have something running on mpv.03:27
owen1under output devices i see Built-in Audio Digital Stereo (HDMI) and than a dropdown 'port' with only one option: HDMI/DisplayPort (plugged in)03:28
owen1so my monitor is connected using displayport. all true (:03:28
owen1but no sound03:28
=== r0Oter is now known as r00ter
vfwowen1: So the audio is from  mpv.  Okay...03:29
owen1yup. i can try youtube03:29
vfwowen1: Oh, it is displayport. That may be a little different from HDMI03:30
vfwowen1: Not sure what to do with displayport.03:30
owen1now i watch a youtube. i see ALSA plog-in (chromium-browser)03:30
owen1vfw: ok. any suggestion? where should i continue my research?03:31
vfwowen1: Are you using  DisplayPort to HDMI adapter?03:31
owen1vfw: i am using a cable. yeah. it got displayport on one side and hdmi that connects to the LG monitor.03:32
owen1vfw: someone on a thread i read adds 'options snd-hda-intel model="olpc-xo-1_5"03:37
owen1to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and it solved it - https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1937935&highlight=thinkpad+carbon+x1+external+monitor+no+sound03:37
owen1maybe i need to add similar line? (since i have different audio card)03:38
krj7709hello. Anyone around that can give me a hand03:44
krj7709trying to dual boot windows/ubuntu. main drive is raid 0. where do I install bootloader? /dev/mapper seems to be my raid array tried there and get error.03:45
krj7709what would be better yet is putting the boot loader onto a usb stick. when I want ubuntu I insert stick and boot off that03:47
JosuGkrj7709: You need to install the bootloader to a real drive since the bootloader probably doesn't support RAID.03:47
JosuGkrj7709: Preferably the same drive that the Windows bootloader is on, so it should automatically detect it.03:48
owen1vfw: someone with the same soundcard as mine said he/she solved it with alsamixer. any idea what can i tweak with alsamixer? https://askubuntu.com/questions/628648/ubuntu-14-04-no-sound-using-hdmi-c210-series-chipset-family-high/953463#95346303:49
JosuGkrj7709: BIOS and UEFI firmware cannot detect software RAID setup. If you have a hardware RAID controller, it should appear as a normal hard drive.03:50
krj7709it found my raid setup during install03:51
krj7709and when it comes to selecting where to put the bootloader it shows sda (1st raid drive) sdb (2nd) and all my other drives and also has /dev/mapper (assuming the raid0) ?03:52
JosuGkrj7709: Linux can detect RAID partitions, but only after it has booted, so you need to have a boot partition (not RAID, on a single drive), and install the bootloader to that drive.03:53
JosuGkrj7709: What does your partition table look like?03:54
krj7709hehe03:55

ijashhi, i am using proprietary driver for nvidia. i am getting a screen tear in ubuntu. so, how do i solve this for gtx 950?04:52
elkyijash: the information i'm reading tends to only suggest workarounds, not actual solutions, and i don't have anything i can test for you04:58

ijashelky: so, no solution?04:59
elkyijash: did you try looking on askubuntu.com?05:00
elkyijash: take a look through https://askubuntu.com/questions/tagged/tearing?sort=active and see if anything helps, remember to back up any important data on your computer before trying things you're unsure of.05:04
elkyzlsyx: what?05:04
ijashelky: yes, i have tried many ways but none are working, such as reinstalling driver, adding opengl, configuring some of the nvidia xorg conf. and the least i found was ticking the force composite in nvidia x server setting. well, i am using HDMI. why i would use composite.05:05

CrayboffAnd what do you mean by trying a mainline kernel?13:10
ducasse'sudo apt purge packagename' to remove13:11

ubottuThe kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds13:11
ducasse^^ try the latest one, see if the driver(s) there work.13:12
ducasseCrayboff: 'sudo apt purge elantech-0608-dkms' will get rid of it, you need to do this before installing a mainline kernel.13:16

MacroManI know that15:07
naccMacroMan: you don't want any single bit of RAM to not be occupied15:07
naccMacroMan: that's sort of the point of RAM15:07
rfsharkthanks MacroMan :)15:07
MacroMannacc What are you talking about?15:08
naccMacroMan: how much RAM your system is using isn't really a metric of anything15:08
naccMacroMan: it *should* be using all of it15:08
MacroManIf I had 100% mem usage, the next thing I did, even move the mouse, would cause swap usage15:08
naccRichard_Cavell: i don't think there is a linux-steam package in ubuntu15:08
naccMacroMan: not true. Only if it the next thing you did required something to be swapped out.15:09
naccMacroMan: given you are on a desktop, your cursor, windowing artifacts, etc. would be resident.15:09
MacroManWhich is pretty much anything if there is no spare mem left15:09
naccMacroMan: um, no.15:09
naccMacroMan: read what I just wrote.15:09
MacroManYou're clearly trying to be a smart arse with the way ram technically works, but for everyday purpose and conversation, it's fine to have a % of memory used and have some spare15:10
MacroManI'm aware that even "empty" ram is still set to some value. It's just not very useful value15:11

naccMacroMan: they asked for recommended RAM size and you gave them the minimum? and then said how much memory your system is using.15:20

Radkoshi all16:07
RadkosI've a dumb question. How can I limit my ubuntu 14.04's system max usable RAM?16:08
tgm4883Radkos: uh, why?16:08
RadkosI've tried with cgroups but it's broken, no service no nothing has to load everything from scratch16:08
=== KindTwo is now known as KindOne
RadkosI need to limit it because some programs are just overflowing my ram16:09
tgm4883Radkos: that doesn't make any sense, and limiting your RAM is just going to make your system run worse16:10
naccRadkos: so you'd rather they are killed?16:10
Radkosand the system is becoming unresponsive and can't wait for virtual memory16:10
RadkosI've already activated OOM they are being killed like 4 minutes after hang which is too much time16:11
Radkosit makes sens I will limit my user's ram but system is gonna use the whole ram. that's what I want16:11
naccRadkos: use ulimit on your shell?16:12
Radkosulimit is not suitable16:12
tgm4883Radkos: well that isn't what you asked...16:12
RadkosI can't start every program from the shell16:12
naccRadkos: well, cgroups aren't what you want either16:12
naccRadkos: sure you can `bash -c ...`16:12
RadkosI don't wan't to start from there16:12
Radkoswhat do you suggest other then cgroups16:13
Radkosand why there isn't any cgroups service and config in 14.04 after libcgroups1 being installed? is it depreciated?16:13
naccRadkos: i don't think there is any such thing as a "cgroups" service16:13
naccRadkos: and I don't know what you mean by config, it's a filesystem. That's how you configure it16:14
Radkosmy bad cgconfig16:14
tgm4883I thought it was a handful of programs16:15
pavlosRadkos: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/34334/how-to-create-a-user-with-limited-ram-usage16:16

=== JanC_ is now known as JanC
RadkosI've to manually load /etc/cgconfig file which doesn't seems to work out16:18
RadkosI've tried with /etc/security/limits.conf either but it's only applyable for virtual memory16:20
tgm4883The comments here https://askubuntu.com/questions/564744/wheres-cgconfig-in-trusty  suggest that cgconfig is broken in trusty and that you need to apply the workarounds16:21
Radkosdo you suggest other way than that and ulimit (ulimit doesn't seems to work out)16:29
Radkosjust for the test I've set ulimit -m 5000016:29
Radkosand started gimp  from the shell - it got 100 mb ram and still not closing16:30
RadkosI might accept ulimit workaround if it actually works16:30
naccRadkos: did you read the manpage?16:30

Radkosyes it seems this ubuntu is in that list16:33
tgm4883Radkos: out of curiosity, which program is causing so much trouble and how much ram do you have?16:36
naccRadkos: have you tried just using cgroups manually?16:36
naccmight need the hwe kernel to get a more useful cgroupfs, but it should work then16:37
Radkosit's one bad coded game - rocketleague is it's name - I have 8 gb of ram - the game uses 2,7 gb at start but after time it gets more and more until the whole system hangs up16:38
RadkosI've come to a point where I got also 3 gb of swap used16:38
Radkoscan you imagine :D I want to force that game to close whenever it gets too much ram - activated OOM as it was deactivated at first - but without big difference I have like 5 minutes hang until it closes16:39
Radkos@nacc how can I use cgroups manually?16:40
Radkoswith cgexec?16:40
naccRadkos: well, i've used them in the past (on more recent systems than 14.04) with something like `cd /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/user/<username>; mkdir <cgroupname>; cd <cgroupname>; echo <max> > memory.max_usage_in_bytes; echo $$ > tasks; exec <other process>`16:41
Radkosthat way it will be per process?16:43
naccRadkos: the above will create a memory cgroup and then put the current process in it16:45
naccRadkos: if you put your shell in it, then you get what you want16:45
naccRadkos: cgexec will just existing cgroups16:46

brunchheya! nvidia-prime is giving me a huge headache19:04
brunchis there a way not to use it at all, and just use the discrete card?19:04
compdoc_take two aspirin, and come back in the morning19:04
brunchcan I simply uninstall nvidia-prime?19:04
brunchwhat's the worst that would happen? :ƞ19:04
ducassebrunch: if this is for 17.10, ask in #ubuntu+119:04
brunchalright my bad19:05
brunchthought it would be the same here19:05
ducassebrunch: it isn't, it's a development release and not supported here. ask there to make sure you get proper advice.19:05
magkneetoepavlos, i see it but i still get an error ... so lame19:06
pavlosmagkneetoe: please pastebin the error19:06

ducassemagkneetoe: you added the key ok, like i said there is a problem with the signature in the repo - you need to talk to them.19:11
TrelOn Ubuntu (server) 16.04, what is the recommended way to get PHP5 for apache, since it doesn't seem to be offered in the repos anymore?19:12
oerheksPolesch, filesystem read only, then there is a glitch/closed dirty, you will need to run fsck to correct this19:12
oerheks!fsck19:12
ubottufsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot19:12
PoleschI only just installed 16.04 in vmware workstation19:13
ducasseTrel: in short, there is no supported way. there is a ppa, though - use at your own risk.19:13
oerheksTrel, it is not in the repos, php7 is .. you need a PPA like this one, but carefull, it is unsupported here https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/ubuntu/php19:14
PoleschNope, nothing working.19:16
PoleschI wish linux was less of a pain, I'd like to use it19:16
oerheksmaybe your issue is with vmware, i don't know about that19:16
* oerheks only uses bare metal19:16
naccPolesch: perhaps pastebin the output of `dmesg`19:17
PoleschProbably vmware issue.19:18
Poleschhttps://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=5130619:18
PoleschI'll try ubuntu on bare metal when I can get PCIe passthrough working19:21
pavlosmagkneetoe: found this link for 17.04, see last post if it helps you ... http://services.runescape.com/l=0/m=forum/forums.ws?415,416,73,6590172819:22
PoleschI'm in a difficult situation where I'm heavily dependent on both Windows and Ubuntu at the same time19:22
Treloerheks: I'll take a look at that.  Would it be more recommended to compile the latest php5 myself and use fpm or cgi with apache?19:23
chrismlhow do i install en_GB.UTF-8 locale?19:23
ducasseTrel: then you would be responsible for updates, and it's just as unsupported. with the ppa at least you get updates.19:24
TrelI only need to hold out until the software I'm trying to use works correctly with php719:24
TrelSo I wouldn't mind handling the updates myself19:24
ducassechrisml: 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales'19:25
Guy1524hey guys, I have nvidia prime installed on my optimus laptop, and for some reason my Intel GFX Card only works on my old 4.4 kernlel, and not my newest 4.10 kernel (16.04.3)19:28
Guy1524nvidia works on all kernels19:28
chrismlducasse does that definitely work?19:29
chrismlducasse cool i can just do apt-get install language-pack-en :D19:33
ducassechrisml: that's only translations, it doesn't activate or generate locales19:34
chrismlducasse it said Generating locales (this might take a while)...19:35
ducassechrisml: then it probably runs dpkg-reconfigure from the postinstall script. if you need to check if it's activated, that's how you do it.19:37
chrismlducasse got ya19:38

CrayboffAfter installing a the recommended mainline and the daily mainline kernels (at different times), my undetected trackpad is now being detected however it only works for 5-10 seconds after startup before becoming unresponsive. Does this sound like a kernel bug issue to you guys or should I be looking somewhere else?20:30

Crayboffbrainwash: What is the filepath to that log?20:31

craigbass76I've finally gotten my Wordpress blog (actually it will be a novel, but it's easier to work on it for me if it's in Wordpress) to spit everything out as one big html, which I can then print to pdf.

tgm4883MeiR: not really a ubuntu question, you could ask in #ubuntu-offtopic or if your question is checkmk based in the #check_mk channel20:52
brainwashCrayboff: other than that, I think that you will have to create an upstream bug report20:52
onicromi've removed the unattended upgrades package from my install but i still see firewall logs of my server reaching out to ubuntu own ip addresses on the internet, is there something else that20:53

linuxnoob011hi all. was in here earlier this week with some ubuntu networking issues. continuing to struggle, but have some updates that might help you folks troubleshoot. anyone have some time to spare?21:03
lordcirthlinuxnoob011, just say your question, saves time21:04
linuxnoob011lordcirth decent amount to type. basically, i cannot get any network interface to work on my ubuntu 16.04 comp. just did a fresh install. neither ethernet nor wireless works. so i bought a usb ethernet port and a usb wireless card. neither one works. can sometimes get an intermittent connection, but i usually quickly lose it. if i configure to make only the usb wireless card works, it'll work from time to time, but not consistently (but more than a21:05
linuxnoob011minute or so)21:05
linuxnoob011really at a loss for what could be causing this. feel like 4 network devices, two of which are brand new, cannot be failing21:06
linuxnoob011for what it is worth, nothing is wrong with the network itself. have another ubuntu 16.04 comp that plays just fine with the router21:06
nacclinuxnoob011: what are the hardware details (device details)21:06
linuxnoob011i'll do my best to get you this info, but because i have no internet on the relevant comp, i can't copy/paste outputs21:07
linuxnoob011if this gets tiresome, guess i can take pics with my phone and upload to imgur21:07
linuxnoob011nacc want the info on the nics first?21:07
nacclinuxnoob011: yeah, i think so21:07
nacclinuxnoob011: there's less fiddly stuff with wired21:08
linuxnoob011so the built in ethernet is the QCA8171 gigabit ethernet (qualcomm atheros)21:08
linuxnoob011and the built in wireless is an inten centrino wireless-N 223021:09
craigbass76kenrin: Almost -- it makes each pdf page into an image. I may want to edit it. html to odt might work better. Still looking...21:09
linuxnoob011the wifi usb card is panda--model PAU0621:09
linuxnoob011usb ethernet is a startech--usb3100s21:09
nacclinuxnoob011: ok, the intel wireless not working is surprising (also i didn't know atheros did non-wifi)21:10
nacclinuxnoob011: anything in dmesg?21:10
linuxnoob011depends on the device i am using. basically, the usb ethernet is lame and requires a driver from the internet--without internet, ic an't get it to play nice, so i guess i understand that failure21:11
linuxnoob011on the native ethenet, dmesg reports the link goes up and down repeatedly21:11
linuxnoob011i assume the ethernet device is damaged/not in working shape, but i guess it could be software related21:11
linuxnoob011nothing disconcerting on either wireless device from dmesg21:11
linuxnoob011i've assigned static ips to all devices and taken them away from the networkmanager, which i hate21:12
linuxnoob011(i.e., they are not managed)21:12
craigbass76kenrin: pandoc maybe, if I can get page breaks working...21:12
nacclinuxnoob011: ok, so your wireless device is detected but doesn't associate (the intel)21:12
linuxnoob011ip addresses are reported in ifconfig, but no connectivity21:12
linuxnoob011yes, nacc21:12
linuxnoob011ping just hangs21:12
linuxnoob011sometimes it says destination host unreachable21:13
linuxnoob011but usually literally just hangs--returns nothing21:13
nacclinuxnoob011: what about iwconfig?21:13
linuxnoob011both wireless devices show up there (although obvi not the ethernet devices)21:13
linuxnoob011they are not assocaited with an AP21:13
nacclinuxnoob011: ok, without association, probably they don't actually have network21:14
nacclinuxnoob011: did you configure the wifi cxn for the intel device?21:14
nacclinuxnoob011: not the IP, but the wifi auth21:14
linuxnoob011hmm, might have faked myself out when i disabled the network manager. do you know the CLI way of connecting to an AP without the network manager?21:15
linuxnoob011if not, i'll google21:15
nacclinuxnoob011: nmcli (which is still networkmanager) is the easiest, i think. otherwise, you can do it from /etc/network/interfaces (install wireless-tools and `man wireless`)21:16
linuxnoob011do i have to enable the network manager service to use nmcli (i had assumed but maybe not)21:16
linuxnoob011i'm game to re-enable network manager to troubleshoot21:16
linuxnoob011just want to be clear about what i'm doing21:17
nacclinuxnoob011: yeah, i think so, but not sure either21:18
nacclinuxnoob011: easiest is to just use n-m21:18
linuxnoob011100% down--will re-enable the service now21:18
nacclinuxnoob011: oh i see, you can also use iwconfig directly to associate21:18
linuxnoob011sorry, struggling a bit here nacc21:23
nacclinuxnoob011: np21:23
nacclinuxnoob011: NM isn't working?21:23
linuxnoob011yeah, thought i knew the command for nmcli but it threw up an error21:24
linuxnoob011nacc--having trouble associating either through nmcli or iwconfig21:31
linuxnoob011not sure i have the nmcli command right21:31
linuxnoob011but i'm pretty sure about the iwconfig one21:31
linuxnoob011iwconfig $device essid $AP key $password21:31
nacclinuxnoob011: yeah that looks right21:32
linuxnoob011i got an invalid argument on the password...21:32
linuxnoob011guess i'll try enclosing it in quotes21:32
linuxnoob011no help21:32
nacclinuxnoob011: is it an ascii password?21:32
nacclinuxnoob011: needs to be s:password, if so21:32
nacclinuxnoob011: see `man iwconfig`21:32
nacclinuxnoob011: passphrase is not supported, as well, so depends on what you're doing21:32
linuxnoob011got it, so it's ascii--the work around is to put s: in front?21:34
nacclinuxnoob011: that's my reading, yeah21:34
nacclinuxnoob011: that tells iwconfig the password is ascii not hex21:34
linuxnoob011is that like the bash equivalent of str()21:34
linuxnoob011got it21:35
linuxnoob011differenterror21:35
linuxnoob011SET failed on device wlp8s021:35
linuxnoob011wlp8s0 is the internal wireless card21:35
nacclinuxnoob011: did it give any further messages?21:35
nacclinuxnoob011: or anyting in syslog / dmesg21:35
linuxnoob011semicolon--invalid argument21:36
linuxnoob011wil check logs21:36
de_bacHowdy again :) Ive been pulling my hair out trying to change my screen resolution. The default display manager is only showing one option, where everything is waaay too small. Tried creating and adding a new mode using xrandr, but it just returns  a "failed to get size of gamma for output default".21:36
de_bacso close to having this machine functional, I would love to stop squinting!! :D Any thoughts greatly appreciated21:37
naccde_bac: do you have a hidpi display?21:37
linuxnoob011nacc--nothing in dmesg that concerns me. just ubuntu reporting info about the usb wifi card i have (namely that it has loaded the firmware)21:37
nacclinuxnoob011: ok21:38
de_bac:nacc yes!21:38
linuxnoob011nacc--nothing in syslog. some errors being thrown up by my vpn, but those don't affect the current user (i have a split tunnel set up)21:38
naccde_bac: on gnome there is gnome tweak tool, instll that ... fonts -> scaling factor, set it to 221:38
naccde_bac: i think there is something similar for unity if on unity21:38
nacclinuxnoob011: ok21:38
de_bacnacc: exploring it now...21:39
de_bacthank you :021:39
linuxnoob011i'm tailing the main syslog file and when i try to associate with the network, no new lines appear21:39
de_bac:)21:39
naccde_bac: yw21:40
nacclinuxnoob011: ok, were you able to fix the syntax error?21:40
linuxnoob011yes, nacc. different error upon appending s: to the front of the password21:40
nacclinuxnoob011: what was the rror? sorry, invalid argument?21:41
de_bacnacc: hmm... this might do it. I have to log out real quick to test something..21:41
linuxnoob011yeah, they both throw up "invalid argument." with the wrong syntax, it just says, "invalid argument $password"21:41
linuxnoob011with the rightsyntax, it says: "SET failed on device wlp8s0; invalid argument"21:41
nacclinuxnoob011: ok, so you're running `iwconfig wlp8s0 key s:<password>` ?21:42
linuxnoob011hmm, i'm running: iwconfig $device essid $AP key $password21:42
linuxnoob011will run your line word for word21:42
nacclinuxnoob011: oh that would work, rather21:42
nacclinuxnoob011: sorry, forgout about the SSID21:43
linuxnoob011all good21:43
linuxnoob011i'm truly at a loss here21:43
linuxnoob011like, not all of these network devices are failing21:43
linuxnoob011they work on other comps--the usb ones that is21:43
nacclinuxnoob011: well, right now it's not 'failing' in that sense21:43
nacclinuxnoob011: we're not telling it to connect properly21:43
nacclinuxnoob011: it's not associated, so it's actually working fine :)21:44
nacclinuxnoob011: if you *just* do `iwconfig $device essid $AP` does it work?21:44
linuxnoob011so a bit of context: i just moved. in my old apartment, this comp worked fine, both internal ethernet and internal wifi21:44
linuxnoob011it did not return an error nacc21:45
linuxnoob011and iwconfig reports association21:45
linuxnoob011with the relevant AP21:45
nacclinuxnoob011: ok, that's good21:45
nacclinuxnoob011: now if you do `iwconfig $device key s:$password`21:45
de_bacnacc: so, it works OK for unity, but in i3 programs like firefox/atom/spotify are still way too small :/21:46
linuxnoob011nacc--same error as before when i was using the correct syntax21:46
linuxnoob011<linuxnoob011> with the rightsyntax, it says: "SET failed on device wlp8s0; invalid argument"21:46
CreativeWolfHeya all :)21:47
CreativeWolfI've been trying to set up a network printer and the cups jobs log shows this "Unsupported booklet value Default, using booklet=off!"21:47
naccde_bac: no idea on i3, sorry21:48
CreativeWolfAny pointers to get a printout? :)21:48
nacclinuxnoob011: i'm not sure, sorry -- it seems like possibly your AP is rejecting the auth (although i would think you would see it try and fail)21:49
linuxnoob011i mean, i can confirm these commands work on another ubuntu box in this same apartment with the same AP21:49
ycyclistAnyone know of a package that takes a script that sources in environments and compiles it to be a standalone?21:49
linuxnoob011but like, this is absurd behavior from ubuntu. i dont even understand what could be wrong21:49
nacclinuxnoob011: tbh, this sounds like hardware issues. Possibly the card(s) got unseated?21:50
nacclinuxnoob011: as to the other devices, I don't know21:50
nacclinuxnoob011: do the USB devices, e.g, work in the other already working computer?21:50
linuxnoob011it can't be hardware nacc--some of the hardware is obviously fine21:50
linuxnoob011nacc, yes, both usb devices for sure work21:50
linuxnoob011they are brand new and work on the other ubuntu box21:50
linuxnoob011like i guess the mobo or something on the problematic ubuntu box could be failingin some way that dooms any nic i dare to connect to the ubuntu box?21:51
oerhekslinuxnoob011, in such situation, did you try to restart your router? sometimes this solves unlogical issues.21:52
oerheks* with networking, that is21:52
linuxnoob011oerheks i have not tried that today. so i'm happy to do that21:52
linuxnoob011(brb obviously)21:53
de_bacdoes anybody here have experience with xrandr? pretty sure if I fix the "failed to get size of gamma for output default" I will be able to fix this.21:56
linuxnoob011hey nacc and oerheks just rebooted my router21:58
linuxnoob011gonna try to connect from the troublesome ubuntu box21:58
oerheks:-)21:58
linuxnoob011nacc oerheks: same behavior on the internal nic22:01
linuxnoob011gonna try the usb wireless card22:01
linuxnoob011no go on the usb wireless card either. with the usb wireless card, i see a ModemManager error22:02
linuxnoob011but there are clear issues here. like the usb wireless card not even lit up (i.e., the display lights are off)22:03
oerhekslinuxnoob011, not sure that you have undone changes, maybe you can test a live iso too?22:05
CreativeWolfCan someone help me with a printer issue please? - I've been trying to set up a network printer and the cups jobs log shows this "Unsupported booklet value Default, using booklet=off!"22:09
linuxnoob011nacc oerheks: just confirmed the usb wifi card 100% works on another computer22:11
linuxnoob011it had worked on the ubuntu computer in my previous apartment--it worked plug n play, so it isn't like there's a missing driver that could explain the failure22:11
pavloslinuxnoob011: this is a desktop with a fresh install of 16.04, iirc22:13
linuxnoob011pavlos it's a laptop running the desktop version of 16.04. since i was last in here, i plugged in a few usb devices to see if i could get them to work22:17
linuxnoob011and the answer is: only intermittently22:17
linuxnoob011was really hoping this would set of a lightbulb in someone's head22:17
pavloslinuxnoob011: is there a switch on the side of the laptop to disable wifi?22:18
pavloslinuxnoob011: I came late in the chat, I will read up22:18
linuxnoob011pavlos there is a button to disable wifi. not sure if it works in ubuntu22:20
linuxnoob011(i.e., it might just play nicely with windows)22:20
linuxnoob011so here's what i jsut did. the usb wireless card i bought--i just plugged it into another computer with a essentially fresh 16.04 ubuntu install (i.e., a different fresh ubuntu install)22:21
linuxnoob011it worked fine22:21
linuxnoob011the commands i ran earlier to assocaite with an AP worked fine22:21
linuxnoob011if this is hardware related, it has to be something that affects ALL network devices, whether usb or internal22:21
linuxnoob011otherwise, it is software, right?22:21
pavloslinuxnoob011: the laptop is an hp pavilion , do you recall the model#22:21
nacclinuxnoob011: so i've not yet seen you run the commands from the USB device on the lappy?22:22
linuxnoob011the laptop is a lenovo22:22
linuxnoob011y410p22:22
nacclinuxnoob011: you only did it for the builtin device?22:22
linuxnoob011ah, i did it for the usb too nacc22:22
pavloslinuxnoob011: man, I forgot everything :)22:22
nacclinuxnoob011: did you get the "invalid arguemnt" response?22:22
linuxnoob011nacc: yes22:23
linuxnoob011pavlos: no worries. you guys are awesome for doing what you can here. i'm super frustrated, but this obvi is not your guys' fault and i appreiate the help22:23
nacclinuxnoob011: what kind of auth is this? WEP, WPA, WPA2?22:24
linuxnoob011wpa2, nacc22:24
linuxnoob011also nacc, i misspoke--i get the same error on my other ubuntu box when i use the cli22:24
linuxnoob011but the usb wireless card assocaites fine through the network manager22:24
nacclinuxnoob011: hrm, yeah, iwconfig doesn'ts upport wpa2 :)22:25
nacclinuxnoob011: nm does22:25
linuxnoob011nacc face...palm. my bad for not raising this earlier22:25
nacclinuxnoob011: you want wpa_supplicant22:25
linuxnoob011kk, think that should be installed but will confirm and install as needed, and look up the command to connect22:26
linuxnoob011be back in a few22:26
nacclinuxnoob011: alternatively, just use NM :)22:26
nacclinuxnoob011: wireless is a pain :)22:26
linuxnoob011im game to use network manager. how about i clear out etc/network/interfaces to its default state (configuration of the loopback device)22:27
linuxnoob011and restart the network manager service?22:28
linuxnoob011do i need to set the configuration file for network manager to manage my devices? i think that's off by default22:28
nacclinuxnoob011: i'm not 100% on that -- i think you can just tweak the setting from teh GUI22:28
nacclinuxnoob011: oh but if you manually changed it22:28
linuxnoob011yeah, i did. gonna revert back to defaults and enable NM22:30
linuxnoob011ok, i currently have a wireless connection22:32
linuxnoob011i've been this far before, but as soon as i plug in the usb ethernet port, my connectivity grinds to a halt22:33
nacclinuxnoob011: problem solved? :)22:33
nacclinuxnoob011: don't do that? :)22:33
linuxnoob011and as far as i can tell, i'll just randomly lose connectivity at some point22:33
linuxnoob011well if i plug in the regular ethernet (not usb), i also believe i will lose connectivity22:33
linuxnoob011that is, if i cycle through settings enough, i usually get wireless to work. but if i try to use ethernet, everything fails. and furthermore, wifi fails at some point regardless22:34
linuxnoob011so in the time ive just been typing, i've done nothing to the relevant ubuntu machine22:35
nacclinuxnoob011: are you usre on that atheros model #?22:35
linuxnoob011wireless connectivity is gone22:35
linuxnoob011i jsut ran a ping on 8.8.8.822:35
linuxnoob011and it hung22:35
nacclinuxnoob011: did you get disconnected?22:35
linuxnoob011didn't return anything22:35
nacc(check syslog)22:35
linuxnoob011nope22:35
linuxnoob011ah22:35
linuxnoob011will confirm22:35
nacce.g., a disassociation22:35
linuxnoob011nacc yeah, does look like i got disconnected22:38
nacclinuxnoob011: right, so, so far, nothing "wrong"22:38
nacclinuxnoob011: inasmuch as you got disconnected, and are ... well, disconnected22:38
naccthat you got disconnected is not great22:38
naccbut that could happen for lots of reasons22:38
linuxnoob011checking back in. so even retstarting network manager did not restore connectivity. as usual, cycling through settings enough times yields a temporary connection. but the connection is not long lasting, even when I do absolutely nothing to the computer22:43
pavloslinuxnoob011: are you far away from the router/AP? if the signal is not strong enough, wifi disconnects.22:44
linuxnoob011so nacc, i guess the question is: why do I get permanently, irreparably disconnected?22:44
nacclinuxnoob011: i think the 'cycling' is a red herring22:44
linuxnoob011pavlos: I the machine is literally next to the router--a short ethernet cable's distance away22:44
nacclinuxnoob011: but i have no diea22:44
nacclinuxnoob011: i need to step away for a bit, though, sorry22:45
linuxnoob011nacc: I have no restored the network settings to their defaults. i commented every line of etc/network/interfaces except the configuration of the loopback device, which is configured in the interfaces file by default22:45
linuxnoob011makes sense nacc--thanks for trying!22:45
linuxnoob011pavlos any last minute ideas before i throw in the towel? this computer is borderline useless without any means to connect to the internet, so this is a prety big blow if there is no fix. but if there is no fix, there is no fix22:46
linuxnoob011like im essentially just going to throw out a decently powerful laptop22:47
pavloslinuxnoob011: it might be some module is loaded and needs to be blacklisted but no idea which module22:47
linuxnoob011hm, that's a decent point. i'll google around w.r.t. my specific card. again, figure this would have been an issue in my previous apartment, but i guess when i did a fresh install, i grabbed 16.04.3 where previously i had used 16.04.222:48
linuxnoob011hard to believe that'd screw me over, but maybe some module causes problems in this ubutu environment but not the old one22:48
pavloslinuxnoob011: is there a module called, ideapad-laptop (you can find that with lsmod | grep ideapad22:52
linuxnoob011pavlos that command returns four lines. the top line is: ideapad_laptop | 28672 | 0, where the pipe delimits columns22:53
pavloslinuxnoob011: so there is such a module22:54
linuxnoob011pavlos seems so22:54
pavloslinuxnoob011: lets backlist it and reboot, the command is, echo "blacklist ideapad-laptop" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf22:55
JimmyNeutronAnyone use Webex on Ubuntu 16.04.3 x64?  It was working a few days ago and now it's broken.  Trying to determine what cause it to fail.22:55
linuxnoob011pavlos rebooting now22:59
ycyclistSay, what does this do?  gzip -c $tarfile | cat $script - > $out   ???23:00
ycyclistSay, what does this do?  gzip -c $tarfile | cat $script - > $out   ???23:00
linuxnoob011pavlos i have internet connectivty on reboot. do oyu know of a handy command to determine which device is supplying connectivity? both wifi cards purport to be associated with an AP23:02
linuxnoob011i tried pinging with double verbosity23:02
ycyclistSay, what does this do?  gzip -c $tarfile | cat $script - > $out   ???23:02
ycyclistI'm having a hard time searching for - >23:02
pavloslinuxnoob011: ifconfig will tell you the various interfaces and IP they may have23:02
ycyclistI suspect it's some kind of equivalent to >>, as the two files should be joined.23:03
FredTheNoobHello, I'm doing a ubuntu installation, it's a good practice to encrypt the root partition and then home partition? or only the home partition? I mean I have the system divided into 4 partitions 1./boot 2. / 3./home 4./swap23:03
pavloslinuxnoob011: try ifconfig | nv termbin.com 9999 and give that link23:03
linuxnoob011hmm, returned command not found, pavlos23:04
linuxnoob011in particular, nv was the cmd not found23:04
pavloslinuxnoob011: nc not nv23:04
linuxnoob011ah!23:04
pavloslinuxnoob011: short for netcat23:05
linuxnoob011pavlos--both nics have ip addresses23:05
linuxnoob011hence the q re connectivity23:05
ycyclistOkay, I see an item on example of cat manpage.  I wish it was a little better.23:06
ycyclisthttps://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/16357/usage-of-dash-in-place-of-a-filename23:07
pavloslinuxnoob011: on your NetwrokManager (top right) you can get connection info, which ip to which interface23:07
linuxnoob011pavlos i guess i'm confused--it isn't that i don't know what info (e.g. ip address) corresponds to which interface. it is that i do not know which interface is actually interfacing with the net. like, both purport to be ready and active and associatd with the AP. i guess i could isolate an interface, e.g. "ping -I $interface $address"23:08
pavloslinuxnoob011: you said wired does not work, only wireless. right? if you give that nc command, the link would be 4 chars, eg. http://termbin.com/1bwv23:09
jimberly528274Hello, would anyone be able to help me with a dual-boot problem?23:09
linuxnoob011oh! the last four chars are ohnh23:10
linuxnoob011is that helpful pavlos?23:10
pavloslinuxnoob011: sure, I will form the link as http://termbin.com/ohnh23:10
jimberly528274I have a Lenovo T460, formerly Windows 7, upgraded to Windows 10, currently booting on UEFI. I accidentally installed Ubuntu 16.04 in BIOS (I think). I am trying to figure out how to remove it. I have found bits and pieces of advice all over the internet, but am finding mixed recommendations. For example, I read something that said the Boot-Repair disk should not be used with Win7 machines that have been upgraded to Win10.23:11
pavloslinuxnoob011: wired does not work so no ip, wifi got .161 and the usb dongle got .16623:11
linuxnoob011pavlos yes, although ethernet not plugged in. been keeping it not plugged in as it had been on my list of suspects for "making my wireless no longer work"23:12
pavloslinuxnoob011: unplug the dongle and you should have just wifi, .16123:12
jimberly528274Sorry--also, I installed Ubuntu 16.04 in a dual boot. I'd like to remove and reinstall, or fix to boot in UEFI.23:12
linuxnoob011that is, plugging in ethernet seemed to immediately kill my wifi (without giving ethernet connectivity)23:12
linuxnoob011pavlos: would you like me to plug in ethernet to the internal ehternet port (i.e., not using the usb ethernet dongle i have) and see if i run into problems?23:12
pavloslinuxnoob011: no, I prefer you have one active connection and update your laptop23:13
linuxnoob011got it23:13
linuxnoob011will unplug the dongle now23:13
pavloslinuxnoob011: when you connect a wired cable, you say it drops the wifi ...23:13
linuxnoob011pavlos: dongle unplugged, and i still have connectivity. and yes, that had been my impression, but givn how fast wifi was going down on its own, my impression could have been...spurious23:14
pavloslinuxnoob011: ifconfig should give you the wlp8 deice wiht .16123:15
linuxnoob011pavlos: yes, it does return that ip. so you mentioned updating my laptop. should i run an update and upgrade?23:15
pavloslinuxnoob011: both ... sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade23:16
pavloslinuxnoob011: why wired does not work, no idea.23:16
linuxnoob011seeing some very depressing speeds on this poor internal wireless N card haha. but it's working23:16
pavloslinuxnoob011: at least you have one connection now23:17
linuxnoob011yes. this comp had been my plex server, and i unfortunately need a wired connection for it to continue in that capacity. but this is far better than nothing if this connectivity sticks23:17
pavloslinuxnoob011: the connection info on NM should tell you  the speed (54 Mb/s23:17
linuxnoob011130 Mb/s now. guess the initial wave of downloads was just slow (it showe 3 Mbps)23:18
pavloslinuxnoob011: depends on net traffic, time of day, etc23:18
pavlosbrb23:19
linuxnoob011pavlos kk, thanks so much. jsut having basic wifi is a huge game changer. the update and upgrade is finished. let me know if you'd like me to do other things before I try to connect ethernet--i haven't done that since blacklisting the module you indicatd23:19
NukienHaving an issue with a ZFS root system now dropping into grub-rescue with "error: no such device 8E22ED6A21E028C"23:20
NukienThat device is the correct fs_uuid for the zfs pool though23:20
NukienThis is in a 16.04.3 system23:20
pavloslinuxnoob011: I suggest you reboot the laptop ... to make sure it will always connect via wifi23:21
NukienThat uses grub 2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3.12  but I've seen slightly later version for 17.x23:21
NukienAny easy way to install a beta3 version on 16.04 ?23:21
pavloslinuxnoob011: did laptop reboot ok?23:25
linuxnoob011pavlos: jsut rebooted, confirmed connectd still via internal wifi23:26
pavlosNukien: do you mean 16.04.3 ?23:26
linuxnoob011so b lacklisting looks like it has truly helped, so like--thank you. you just saved an i7 lappy that i was getting pretty close to takng a baseball bat to23:26
pavloslinuxnoob011: sudo lshw -c network ... the is a configuration line, does it list a driver= ?23:27
pavloslinuxnoob011: there*23:27
linuxnoob011pavlos: driver is listed as iwlwifi, verions 4.10.0-3323:28
linuxnoob011to be clear, pavlos, that's the driveron the wifi (hence, iwlwifi)23:28
pavloslinuxnoob011: so it does not list anything for enp7s023:28
linuxnoob011it does, the driver is alx23:29
linuxnoob011(which afaik is correct for the ethernet card)23:29
pavloslinuxnoob011: so plug a network cable and let's hope it gets an ip, see ifconfig again23:29
linuxnoob011pavlos: plugged in, computer shows a wired connection, network manage flashing the wifi symbol, as if it is working--going to give it some time23:31
pavloslinuxnoob011: NM will show in connection info the 2 interfaces and their ip's23:32
pavloslinuxnoob011: ifconfig will do the same23:32
Nukienpavlos, Yes, 16.04.323:34
NukienGiven grub issues, and I believe beta3 had some tweak for zfs ...23:35
NukienWhat's the easiest way to get it on the system ?23:35
linuxnoob011pavlos: the network manager symbol (in the top right of ubuntu desktop) has stopped flashing. the drop down gui menu for the NM shows a wired connection and the wifi connection. ifconfig shows no ip for the ethernet connection23:35
pavlosNukien: sudo apt dist-upgrade23:37
pavloslinuxnoob011: can you give me ifconfig | nc termbin.com 9999 again23:37
Nukienpavlos, Heh, I don't want a whole dist-upgrade, just want a backport of grub beta3 ...23:39
linuxnoob011pavlos: mgy323:39
NukienHave to stay on LTS for now23:39
pavloslinuxnoob011: dmesg | grep enp7s0 ... do you see any errors23:40
cfoch-al1Hello, I am doing a thesis for graduation about Cheese... how can I estimate how many users does Cheese have?23:42
linuxnoob011link is not ready, pavlos followed by successive waves of link up and link down23:42
pavloslinuxnoob011: using NM, edit the wired connection, General should have 2 checkboxes and ipv4 method should be DHCP23:43
Bashing-omNukien: https://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop . that is the 16.04.3 image .23:43
linuxnoob011pavlos: all of those things are true. ipv6 is disabled (it is disabled system wide)23:44
linuxnoob011pavlos: to be clear, autoamtic (DHCP), not "address only," right?23:44
cfoch-al1do you record how many downloads Cheese have in your reposĀ”23:44
cfoch-al1?23:45
pavloslinuxnoob011: let's restart network ... sudo systemctl restart network-manager23:45
pavloslinuxnoob011: correct, we hope wired will pick up an address from DHCP23:46
linuxnoob011pavlos: NM icon doing the flashing thing where it seems to be wroking. ethernet port lights are on23:47
linuxnoob011well, the orange indicator is. not the green (i think the green one means data is being transerred)23:47
pavloslinuxnoob011: ifconfig will tell you if enp7 got an ip23:47
linuxnoob011it did not, pavlos. to be fair, in my original set up, i had trouble getting network manager to play nice with my ethernet and i just opted to assign a static ip in /etc/network/interfaces23:48
pavloslinuxnoob011: NM will tell you if wired has an ip23:48
linuxnoob011pavlos: ifconfig says that enp7s0 does not have an ip. it's possible my ethernet port broke in the move--i kind of doubt it, but possible23:49
pavlosthe interfaces file should have just 2 lines   auto lo23:49
pavlos     iface lo inet loopback23:49
pavlos    try another port23:49
linuxnoob011pavlos another port? i only have one ethernet port on this laptop23:50
linuxnoob011and pavlos my interfaces file has other lines, but they are all commented out at this point23:50
pavloslinuxnoob011: I meant another port on the router23:50
linuxnoob011the only uncommented lines are the two you name23:50
pavloslinuxnoob011: as long as they are commented, they dont affect23:51
linuxnoob011ah, i tried that a few days ago, but will try again given we seem to have made some progress23:51
=== Schnabeltierchen is now known as Guest98477
linuxnoob011yeah, hashtag (#) at the beginning of each line other than the two lines you name23:51
pavloslinuxnoob011: at least you have wifi, but cannot find out why wired does not come up. Driver is alx23:51
tgm4883hashtag...23:51
pavloslinuxnoob011: NM should handle the connections23:52
linuxnoob011hahaha, sorry, just millennial/non-computer-savvied all over the place tgm488323:52
tgm4883:)23:52
pavlosI call it pound, I'm old school23:53
linuxnoob011pavlos: the ethernet card has an ipv6 address23:53
linuxnoob011i'll throw it out to netcast again23:54
linuxnoob011termbin.com/8u9g23:54
pavloslinuxnoob011: I think that;s the loopback in v6 notation23:55
linuxnoob011pavlos: that makes sense. NM stopped flashing and when i ran ifconfig, no ip address assigned to enp7s023:55
linuxnoob011ethernet port shows solid green and flashing yellow/organge23:56
linuxnoob011and i KNOW this ethernet port on my router works, as it had been working on the other ubuntu box as of an hour ago23:56
pavloslinuxnoob011: I have to go in a few, if someone else can continue helping you to get the wired enp7s0 up ... unlikely the enternet port on the laptop died23:57
linuxnoob011pavlos no worries--thank you so much. like, you literally saved a laptop today23:58
pavloslinuxnoob011: I'll check tomorrow ...23:58
linuxnoob011if anyone else wants to help me get a wired connection up in ubuntu 16.04, i'd super appreciate it. hard to make use of a gigabit connection using a wireless N card ^^23:59
