[00:03] <Bashing-om> linuxnoob011: I can lend a hand , but networking is not my strong point . Hardware seen ' ls /sys/class/net ' ? enumerated ' ip link ls ' ?
[00:04] <linuxnoob011> three network devices: enp7s0 lo and wlp8s0
[00:05] <Fenster> hey guys, i did a hard drive clone today from a 30GB to a 250GB..... the OS partition was at the very front so I had to do some fancy footwork to move the swap partition all the way to the end and expand the OS partititon
[00:05] <linuxnoob011> ad the other command returns info on those three devices. kinda hard to type out. only just now getting wifi on this comp--maybe i should install irc on the comp so i can cpy/paste?
[00:05] <Fenster> it ended up making a 1MB partition between the OS and the swap and then aother 1 MB partition after the swap
[00:05] <Fenster> is there any issue with that?
[00:06] <linuxnoob011> brb Bashing-om need to log off here so i can log on through ubuntu comp
[00:10] <linuxnoob011> Bashing-om, https://pastebin.com/aGLey2wz
[00:11] <Bashing-om> linuxnoob011: While I look., Next is ' ip route show ' - we talking to the router ?
[00:13] <Bashing-om> linuxnoob011: so far so good :)
[00:14] <linuxnoob011> Bashing-om, default via 192.168.1.1 dev wlp8s0  proto static  metric 600
[00:14] <linuxnoob011> 169.254.0.0/16 dev wlp8s0  scope link  metric 1000
[00:14] <linuxnoob011> 192.168.1.0/24 dev wlp8s0  proto kernel  scope link  src 192.168.1.161  metric 600
[00:15] <linuxnoob011> so Bashing-om looks like wifi is talking to the router, but ethernet is not
[00:20] <linuxnoob011> Bashing-om at least i can copy/paste outputs now. for a while, wireless wouldn't work either (had to blacklist a module), and so i had to manually type outputs. it was...sad
[00:20] <Desez2tpunk> Is anyone able to help me? I'm getting a lot of pop-ups saying "Internal system error" on Ubuntu 16.10 but it has been running fine? XD
[00:21] <ZeloZelos> Desez2tpunk have you recently done any updating?
[00:22] <Desez2tpunk> ZeloZelos, I updated everything after a fresh install. It was doing it before the updating, and after.
[00:22] <ZeloZelos> sounds like you may have some sort of hardware issue, try this, start a live session and see what happens
[00:22] <Bashing-om> linuxnoob011: Yeah, was watching the travails :) .. What have we now for a link ' sudo ip link show up ' ?
[00:23] <Bashing-om> !16.10 | Desez2tpunk
[00:25] <Desez2tpunk> Bashing-om, I understand that support had ended for it on July, however that should not make "Internel system" errors pop up constantly should it?
[00:26] <leftyfb> Desez2tpunk: this is a fresh install of 16.10?
[00:26] <linuxnoob011> Bashing-om, https://pastebin.com/8VXZg6b8
[00:27] <Desez2tpunk> leftyfb, it was a fresh install when I first noticed it was having the issues. Then I updated the apps, still had the issue. I have been using it for a week now with the pop-ups coming up randomly, but frequently.
[00:28] <Bashing-om> linuxnoob011: Moving on along ' cat /etc/network/interfaces ' .
[00:28] <leftyfb> Desez2tpunk: Install a supported version of ubuntu. You Started with an unsupported version from the beginning.
[00:30] <linuxnoob011> Bashing-om, https://pastebin.com/GUCfz2je
[00:30] <Desez2tpunk> leftyfb, Unfortunately I do not have that choice, I don't have internet and am currently running off of my phone tethering. Cannot chew up my data for a download of a distro, this was the version I had saved awhile ago.
[00:31] <linuxnoob011> Desez2tpunk, ubuntu not terribly large. if you can go to a friend's place and use his/her wifi, you can probs fit it on your phone and then usb it back to the relevant comp
[00:32] <linuxnoob011> alternatively, there is always IP over Avian Carriers ^^
[00:32] <Desez2tpunk> linuxnoob011, true. I suppose I was also just hoping to not reformat just over a system popup that keeps coming up bahaha
[00:32] <Bashing-om> linuxnoob011: K; let's now see who controls networking ; cat /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
[00:33] <Bashing-om> linuxnoob011: the line managed=false ??
[00:33] <linuxnoob011> yeah, it's false, but i'll confirm
[00:33] <linuxnoob011> false indeed
[00:34] <linuxnoob011> Bashing-om, here's the full return so you have it: https://pastebin.com/pfiGQgx0
[00:36] <Bashing-om> linuxnoob011: Bo fault so far ! .. we getting dhcp ' arp -a '  ?
[00:37] <Bashing-om> linuxnoob011: And still good . a default file for network manager .
[00:38] <linuxnoob011> Bashing-om, arp-a: https://pastebin.com/9w8x3yKE
[00:40] <duckle-kiwi> Hey there. I'm having some issues installing ubuntu 17.04
[00:40] <duckle-kiwi> I've had ubuntu installed on one of my two SSDs for a while, with windows on the other
[00:41] <duckle-kiwi> I also have two HDDs, one 2 TB and one 3TB
[00:41] <duckle-kiwi> I want to install 17.04 to a 500gb partition on my 2TB drive, freeing up my second ssd
[00:43] <duckle-kiwi> to do this I've formatted the ssd, and partitioned the drive so that it has my 500gb partion, and a ~700MB fat32 partition with the boot flag, as I understand that is needed for uefi
[00:43] <duckle-kiwi> which drive do I set for the bootloader?
[00:43] <Bashing-om> linuxnoob011: Houston - We have a problem . My result : http://termbin.com/3rbi . So why is the wired interface not given in your output ... hummmmm .
[00:43] <duckle-kiwi> do I set it to /dev/sdb or /dev/sdb2 ?
[00:44] <linuxnoob011> Bashing-om, indicator lights are on. solid green, flashing orange/yellow. have tried various ports on router and various ethernet cables
[00:44] <linuxnoob011> the current ethernet port and cable is confirmed working on another computer that also has a new-ish install of 16.04
[00:45] <Bashing-om> linuxnoob011: Seems then we have a config issue .. Lemme ponder a bit .
[00:45] <linuxnoob011> Bashing-om, want to see my syslog and/or dmesg?
[00:45] <linuxnoob011> happy to grep for enp7s0 or whatever else you might think could help
[00:47] <Bashing-om> linuxnoob011: let's for now see what is set for a nameserver ' cat /etc/resolv.conf ' .
[00:47] <linuxnoob011> Bashing-om, https://pastebin.com/JEaKd0FX
[00:48] <linuxnoob011> i had already removed my script that changes this setting, so this should be the default
[00:50] <Bashing-om> linuxnoob011: Default : http://termbin.com/p75p .. same same on yours ?
[00:50] <linuxnoob011> Bashing-om, https://pastebin.com/JEaKd0FX
[00:50] <linuxnoob011> Bashing-om, so mostly the same, except the addition of fios
[00:56] <linuxnoob011> Bashing-om, sorry if i am jumping the gun here, but check out this result from dmesg | grep enp7s0: https://pastebin.com/zMj8AX6e
[00:57] <Bashing-om> linuxnoob011: Woll do . At this point van you even talk to the router on the wired interface ' ping -c3 192.168.1.1 ' .
[00:59] <linuxnoob011> Bashing-om, is it cool if i add a -I enp7s0 to that command?
[00:59] <linuxnoob011> otherwise think it'll go out over my wifi device
[01:00] <linuxnoob011> Bashing-om, ping -I enp7s0 -c3 192.168.1.1: https://pastebin.com/FnDxCmFb
[01:02] <linuxnoob011> Bashing-om, also, an interesting tidbit. when i ran the ping command explicitly over the wired interface, my wifi dropped momentarily
[01:03] <linuxnoob011> this has been an issue for me, i think--namely, when my ethernet is active, my wifi drops. originally, the drop was permanent, but this time was just temporary (presumbaly becasue we fixed the issue that stopped me from reconnecting to the AP after getting disconnected)
[01:04] <Bashing-om> linuxnoob011: think'n again .
[01:04] <linuxnoob011> all good, Bashing-om--I super appreciate it. I've been hitting my head against the wall for almost a week trying to sort this crap out
[01:12] <Bashing-om> linuxnoob011: As is now .. not talking to the router . Let me see what results if I pink explictly with my active NIC ( as I have 3 ) .
[01:15] <linuxnoob011> Bashing-om, I have a usb ethernet device i can plug in if that'd somehow be helpful. would be a tomorrow thing as i have to locate a linux driver for it. but my sense is it wouldn't tell us much about why the native ethernet port is being a pain
[01:17] <linuxnoob011> LOL, just got an alert from my network manager that the ethernet device is disconnected, Bashing-om. like a random alert that just popped up without my doing anything
[01:18] <Bashing-om> linuxnoob011: Naw, let is not make it more complex than is now . Is the local loop good ' ping -c3 127.0.0.1 ' ?
[01:20] <linuxnoob011> yes, that ping works fine over my wifi device (which it defaults to, i think, when I enter the cmd as you gave it), although it does not work over my ethernet device, and once again, killed my wifi when i ran it over the ethernet device (i.e., ran "ping -I enp7s0 -c3 127.0.0.1"
[01:20] <Bashing-om> linuxnoob011: Is there a reason for fios-router.home ? As in my case my router serves .
[01:20] <linuxnoob011> Bashing-om, I did not manually add it
[01:23] <linuxnoob011> Bashing-om, if you have a handy command to get rid of it, happy to do so. forget the right way to edit that file
[01:23] <Bashing-om> linuxnoob011: K . I put that back on the back burner but keep it in mind . If you turn WIFI off, then on wired can you ping the router ?
[01:24] <Bashing-om> linuxnoob011: I am not real up on systemd changes to networking ; what release is this we are working with ?
[01:27] <linuxnoob011> Bashing-om, 16.04.3, 4.10.0-33-generic
[01:27] <linuxnoob011> i'll turn off wifi and try to ping. brb
[01:33] <linuxnoob011> Bashing-om, no dice. gonna upload a few results for you to pastebin, but the computer just is not registering the ethernet connection
[01:34] <linuxnoob011> network manager routinely reports the wired connection is disconnected, even after disabling wifi, even though the cable is plugged in (and as mentioned, wire and router port are good to go)
[01:36] <linuxnoob011> Bashing-om, like look at this: https://pastebin.com/Te375rTc
[01:36] <linuxnoob011> computer might as well not even have a ethernet cable plugged in as far as I can tell!
[01:36] <Bashing-om> linuxnoob011: Look'n .
[01:42] <Bashing-om> linuxnoob011: Drop the firewall ?? As receive is nada .
[01:44] <Duckle-kiwi> Hey there guys. I've just finished installing ubuntu, and now windows isn't showing up in my grub list
[01:44] <Duckle-kiwi> I've tried a few suggestions, probe-os and such, and none are working
[01:45] <Bashing-om> Duckle-kiwi: What results in ubuntu with terminal command ' sudo update-grub ' ? Is Windows picked up ?
[01:46] <Duckle-kiwi> Bashing-om: No :/
[01:46] <linuxnoob011> Bashing-om, as in disable UFW?
[01:46] <Duckle-kiwi> 2 sec, I'll give a rundown of the disks I have
[01:46] <linuxnoob011> like as in "sudo ufw disable"?
[01:47] <linuxnoob011> or just flush the rules, like sudo iptables -F?
[01:47] <Bashing-om> linuxnoob011: If you have it eneabled. Yes . but know how to restore !
[01:47] <Duckle-kiwi> So I have a 128GB SSD - SDA, a 2TB HDD - SDB, a 3TB HDD - SDC, and a 128GB SSD - SDD
[01:47] <Duckle-kiwi> windows is installed to SDA, and has it's boot stuff in sda1
[01:48] <Duckle-kiwi> linux used to be installed to sdd, but I've formatted that ssd for use in my windows environment, and have done a fresh install of ubuntu 17.04 on sdb2 and sdb3 (sdb3 being /boot/efi with the bootflag)
[01:49] <Duckle-kiwi> I'm also now beginning to doubt if the windows install is efi
[01:49] <linuxnoob011> Bashing-om, network manager icon shows the wifi symbol, and is flashing bars as if trying to connect
[01:49] <linuxnoob011> gonna let it settle on its own and then check ifconfig
[01:50] <linuxnoob011> that said, dmesg gives me the impression that the ethernet is continuously cycling between up and down (as shown in the earlier dmesg output I sent you)
[01:50] <Duckle-kiwi> It's not EFI. dammit
[01:50] <Duckle-kiwi> sda is msdos type :/
[01:51] <Duckle-kiwi> Bashing-om: Can I still boot to windows from grub?
[01:52] <Duckle-kiwi> hmm nvm. I should be able to. The partition table on the currently booted linux install is msdos table
[01:52] <Duckle-kiwi> I'll try and add a custom grub entry and see if that'll work
[01:52] <Duckle-kiwi> be back in 15 minutes
[01:53] <Bashing-om> Duckle-kiwi: Depends; If Windows is EFI, then ubuntu must also be installed in EFI mode for grub to pick up Windows . Can you boot Windows from the firmware boot priority ?
[01:54] <linuxnoob011> Bashing-om, ok, exact same behavior as before. think i might have to call it a night
[01:54] <bazhang> he left Bashing-om
[01:54] <linuxnoob011> Bashing-om, like I disabled ufw
[01:54] <Bashing-om> bazhang: Thanks . I got those turned off .
[01:54] <bazhang> np
[01:55] <linuxnoob011> Bashing-om, and when i ping on the ehternet device, i still get locked out of wifi temporarily etc.
[01:55] <linuxnoob011> is there a reason why an ethernet link might repeatedly report as up then down then up then down etc.?
[01:55] <linuxnoob011> it almost sounds like a hardware problem. or another module to be blacklisted?
[01:56] <Bashing-om> linuxnoob011: K; we work om this more . Got to find out why you can not talk to the router . Till NM gets it straight from the router, going to have issues .
[01:56] <duckle-kiwi> I'm back. It didn't work
[01:57] <linuxnoob011> Bashing-om, I'll be back around tomorrow. I really appreciate the help. like i've gotten wifi capabilities back so far, and that's just--so much better than where I was at.
[01:57] <linuxnoob011> g'night all!
[01:57] <Bashing-om> duckle-kiwi: My last "  Duckle-kiwi: Depends; If Windows is EFI, then ubuntu must also be installed in EFI mode for grub to pick up Windows . Can you boot Windows from the firmware boot priority ? " .
[01:57] <duckle-kiwi> Bashing-om: Let me open IRC on my laptop
[01:58] <Bashing-om> duckle-kiwi: Mind you .. I am not Window nor EFI loeterate .
[01:58] <Bashing-om> literate*
[01:58] <Duckle> I mean, I think I installed it in EFI
[02:00] <Bashing-om> Duckle: Execute : [ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo "Installed in EFI mode" || echo "Installed in Legacy mode" .
[02:01] <Duckle> will do
[02:02] <Duckle> EFI
[02:03] <Duckle> I'll try and boot from the windows ssd from the bios boot menu now
[02:04] <Duckle> Bashing-om: Nope, it goes to grub :(
[02:07] <Bashing-om> Duckle: Well, that ain't good, but will take someone who knows Windows booting . Not me .
[02:07] <Duckle> :/
[02:07] <Duckle> oh well, thanks for the help though
[02:08] <Bashing-om> Duckle: Not a lot of help. hang on here for some one who does know .
[02:09] <Duckle> I'm tempted to just run a windows boot repair :S
[02:09] <bazhang> Duckle, what version of ubuntu
[02:09] <Duckle> 17.04
[02:09] <bazhang> Duckle, was this install 'along side'
[02:10] <Duckle> No, this was custom, because I had to install on a different drive
[02:10] <Bashing-om> Duckle: May take more than just a Windows repair . While waiting what shows ' efibootmgr -v ' for boot entries . may have to install the tool .
[02:11] <bazhang> Duckle, so you prepped thise partitions prior to install
[02:12] <Duckle> Yeah, I think the issue is that windows is not EFI
[02:12] <Duckle> I assumed it'd be, but thinking about it I haven't done a clean install since windows 7\
[02:12] <Duckle> so I guess that windows is still in legacy mode
[02:13] <Duckle> Hmm, I should probably install ubuntu in legacy mode too then.
[02:13] <bazhang> Duckle, did this so called custom install ever work at all
[02:13] <Duckle> well, I'm booted in ubuntu right now
[02:14] <Duckle> so it works, sure.
[02:14] <Duckle> Just can't see the windows os.
[02:26] <Duckle> Now my PC doesn't even see the bootable USB
[02:26] <Duckle> fuck
[02:30] <Duckle> Well. now grub-update worked. I guess I got it into legacy mode
[03:07] <nickenchuggets> if I want to install the default desktop environment that comes packaged with Ubuntu Desktop, which package should I install
[03:07] <nickenchuggets> this is using Ubuntu Server
[03:08] <nickenchuggets> or I guess I should probably just use the deskop ISO
[03:09] <Bashing-om> !info ubuntu-desktop xenial | nickenchuggets
[03:10] <nickenchuggets> ah, thanks
[03:10] <nickenchuggets> at one point I did --no-recommends (forget the flag exactly) when installing gnome-desktop, and it looked like a lot was missing :P
[03:11] <nickenchuggets> I didn't have the gear icon menu... so it wasn't easy to shut the computer down
[03:11] <nickenchuggets> I did that following someone's suggestion on ask ubuntu
[03:12] <Bashing-om> nickenchuggets: It's all a process of learning :)
[03:12] <nickenchuggets> yep, totally
[03:12] <nickenchuggets> I figure I'll just use the desktop ISO and get a proper desktop environment going

[04:53] <acetakwas> I tried to uninstall python3 and it removed a lot of things from my computer. Why?
[04:57] <Bashing-om> acetakwas: do in terminal ' apt rdepends python3 ' .
[04:59] <acetakwas> Bashing-om::  https://paste.ofcode.org/mgewBdw4rsqsAGyVLwAjsR
[04:59] <acetakwas> That's what happened^
[05:00] <acetakwas> Can I reinstall everything?
[05:01] <acetakwas> Bashing-om::  And this: https://paste.ofcode.org/p43t8FMgPZ79mVu3pmdsjT
[05:02] <Bashing-om> acetakwas: While - yes you can re-install everything - ouch ! so much time and effirt just to know what to re-install . take the easy way out and do a fresh install as you want it to be .
[05:04] <acetakwas> Bashing-om::  That's going to be difficult
[05:05] <acetakwas> Can't I do this: https://paste.ofcode.org/7G77z66sEaXX9n9PUKvAPD
[05:05] <acetakwas> As in, install all those in a one-liner
[05:08] <Bashing-om> acetakwas: Consider the end goal . sudo apt show python3 apt ; depends python3 ; apt rdepends python3 .
[05:09] <Bashing-om> apt depends python3 **
[05:29] <blackpawn> every time i boot up my machine eth0 is down and i have to do "ifup eth0". how can i fix so eth0 stays up?
[05:42] <sary> blackpawn: what's in /etc/network/interfaces , you might need to add "auto eth0" in there.
[05:42] <blackpawn> thanks i'll check
[05:43] <blackpawn> it has auto lo whats that?
[05:43] <blackpawn> and thanks i've added auto eth0 now

[07:15] <neure> hi
[07:15] <neure> it seems that my window manager just froze
[07:15] <neure> i cant seem to move any window with mouse
[07:16] <neure> i can still switch between windows with alt-tab
[07:16] <neure> i can start new apps with mouse with launcher
[07:16] <neure> but i cannot move any window or use menus
[07:17] <zetheroo> has anyone managed to get symlinks working with gvfs?
[07:17] <neure> this is super annoying
[07:18] <neure> seems that i cant even switch channels with tabs in hexchat :(
[07:22] <hateball> neure: what happens if you run "unity --replace &" ?
[07:22] <hateball> assuming you use unity
[07:31] <acetakwas> Ubuntu 15.10 Stuck Python 3.6
[07:31] <acetakwas> Ubuntu 15.10 Stuck Python 3.4
[07:31] <acetakwas> How to get 3.6?
[07:31] <hateball> acetakwas: 15.10 is EOL, upgrade to 16.04 first
[07:31] <acetakwas> hateball::  I know. But I need it now.
[07:32] <acetakwas> How do I upgrade without reinstalling?
[07:32] <hateball> !eolupgrade | acetakwas
[07:32] <acetakwas> hateball::  Again. I know.
[07:32] <acetakwas> It doesn't make the OS useless.
[07:32] <hateball> That said, 16.04 has Python 3.5 so you'll need to use a PPA or upgrade further
[07:33] <hateball> Pretty sure an OS without support or security updates is useless
[07:33] <hateball> And what matters is that it is not supported in here, as the topic will tell you
[07:34] <crazyhorse18> hey hey.. ok so say i want to zip/encrypt/scp a file... what should i be using?
[07:34] <crazyhorse18> i'd like to do it from command line so i can script it
[07:41] <hateball> crazyhorse18: zip has an encrypt option, but it requires manual input
[07:41] <hateball> So you'd need to find some other utility to encrypt the content you'd zip, I guess
[07:41] <acetakwas> Can't find a straight forward way to upgrade from 15.10 to 16.04
[07:41] <acetakwas> Seems it's not supported.
[07:42] <akik> crazyhorse18: openssl or gpg maybe for encryption
[07:43] <crazyhorse18> hmmm
[07:43] <ducasse> acetakwas: ubottu gave you a link on how to upgrade
[07:43] <lankanmon> hey guys, I had an issue where my ubuntu server crashed and when it came back my mysql server did not work

[08:08] <granitosaurus> Anyone knows how can install qt5.9 on ubuntu 16.04 server? I've tried https://wiki.qt.io/Install_Qt_5_on_Ubuntu but I'm getting "QXcbConnection: Could not connect to display"
[08:11] <brainwash> granitosaurus: maybe you need to set this env var QT_QPA_PLATFORM=offscreen
[08:11] <brainwash> granitosaurus: that's a quick web search suggests
[08:12] <brainwash> other than that, I suggest asking in #qt
[08:13] <granitosaurus> brainwash, thanks, the env doesn't seem to work: http://ix.io/zGb
[08:13] <granitosaurus> I'll try poking in at #qt then
[08:13] <brainwash> please do :)
[08:16] <gebbione> hi folks, i imported a openvpn profile in network manager but if i use/connect it then my whole internet connection breaks. If I just use openvpn i dont see the problem. Is there a better client or a way to fix it?
[08:32] <hateball> gebbione: by breaks, do you mean all traffic is tunneled ?
[08:32] <hateball> gebbione: perhaps https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1211110 ?
[08:50] <ilker> hi, I've just installed xubuntu (16.04.3 LTS), apt-get update didn't work, I solved it by purging/re-installing libappstreamer3, then upgraded the whole system (apt upgrade) and now I got a kernel panic after X started
[08:51] <ilker>  I've got this card as discrete gpu: Topaz XT [Radeon R7 M260/M265] and  got a "!!! Unknown header type 7f" in lspci
[08:58] <hateball> ilker: can you try rebooting and picking an older kernel in grub?
[08:59] <woenx> Hi. I've observed a curious behavior on my ubuntu machine
[09:00] <woenx> when I access a network folder (in the default file browser) and leave it unnatended for a while, it automatically goes to the parent behavior
[09:00] <ilker> hateball, sadly, older kernel causes too. I handled system upgrade with chroot on live medium and it was happening even before apt upgrade
[09:00] <woenx> this keeps happening until the browser leaves the network folder completely
[09:02] <ilker> I think this problem is related to 4.4, sad
[09:02] <hateball> ilker: you could try a mainline kernel I guess
[09:02] <hateball> just to see if it is that, but I dunno what else it'd be other than the kernel
[09:03] <ilker> I guess temporary solution is to blacklist amdgpu module
[09:04] <hateball> ilker: hmmm, if you installed with .3 it should have pulled in 4.10 I think...
[09:04] <oerheks> known issue, Unknown header type 7f with AMD, see if your vendor got a BIOS/UEFI update
[09:05] <ngomes> hi ! anyone with an iphone 5 ? is it easy to transfer files between the device and ubuntu ? what about as a usb mass storage device ? i've read some articles and they say it's not possible. read about jailbreak , but could not find any valid question.
[09:05] <ilker> oerheks, but live medium recognizes it
[09:07] <akik> installing xserver-xorg-input-libinput was a solution before for being able to keep two fingers on a clickpad and still being able to move the mouse cursor. it doesn't work any more in 16.04. any ideas on how to solve that?
[09:08] <oerheks> ilker, i find lot of simular bugs, but no solution. maybe hateball is right, try a newer ubuntu/kernel, 17.04 gives kernel 4.10
[09:08] <hateball> ilker: you can install linux-generic-hwe-16.04 which should get you 4.10
[09:10] <hateball> ilker: see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack
[09:12] <oerheks> live medium might use the integraded intel?
[09:14] <ilker> hateball, thanks, I'm trying it right now, oerheks, yep I've no problem with integrated card
[09:16] <Takiito> Hello
[09:18] <dagere2> exit
[09:21] <Takiito> I'm running ubuntu in a KVM/qemu VM and want to add a disk drive using virtio driver. But the disk is not recognized. The virtio_scsi kernel module is loaded. Anything else I need to do? libvirt wiki says any Linux >= 2.6.25 should be ok.
[09:21] <dagere2> Hey, I recently had a crash of my ubuntu 17.04 with the following log: (it was about 10:54). Is this a software error, or a hardware error due to i/o or ram or something else? How can I spot the error?
[09:22] <dagere2> During the crash, all programs kept running, but I could not start anything new, it said could not load /usr/bin/.. when I tried to start something. This seems like an i/o error, but after the reboot everything seems fine.
[09:23] <ilker> hateball, thanks it's working

[09:26] <hateball> ilker: Very good then!
[09:26] <hateball> It's been around since 14.04 or so iirc
[09:26] <ilker> I was distro hoping last days, such a madness, just quited and switched old good xubuntu

[10:08] <realies_> how can i setup new folder permissions to be drwxrwxrwx instead of drwxrwxr-x in Ubuntu Files App?
[10:09] <brunch_> realies_: I can help you with command line
[10:09] <realies_> brunch_, i know the chmod
[10:10] <TJ-> realies_: setting the user's "umask" for all sessions. Not sure it's possible from one application
[10:10] <oerheks> umask 000 https://askubuntu.com/a/473901
[10:10] <realies_> oerheks, is that gonna be saved after a reboot?
[10:11] <oerheks> realies_, only if you define this in .. wait, you didn't read it?|
[10:15] <realies_> oerheks, Files app still seems to be creating it with  drwxrwxr-x
[10:15] <realies_> i guess i need a reboot
[10:15] <TJ-> realies_: probably just a log-out/log-in so the user session is recreated
[10:16] <oerheks> TJ- +1, logout/login would do
[10:34] <akik> any ideas on how to disable xorg synaptics clickpad two finger detection? i don't use gestures and i can't move the mouse pointer if i keep two fingers on the clickpad
[10:39] <akik> adding psmouse.proto=imps to othe kernel parameters fixes it mostly but it disables the synaptics driver
[10:39] <brainwash> akik: did you read through the man page?
[10:40] <brainwash> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man4/synaptics.4.html
[10:40] <akik> brainwash: no but i've played with xinput and synclient settings
[10:41] <akik> brainwash: i've disabled gestures but still synaptics is detecting two fingers
[10:42] <brainwash> check the bug tracker then
[10:42] <brainwash> maybe you'll have to file a bug report
[10:43] <akik> TouchpadOff=2 sounds what i need
[10:43] <akik> nope :(
[10:57] <akik> found a bug report about the issue, open since 2012: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/1026046
[10:58] <akik> installing xserver-xorg-input-libinput-hwe-16.04 didn't fix it, though
[10:58] <akik> and there's a dependency problem with xserver-xorg-input-libinput
[11:02] <oerheks> akik, did you see the last 2 posts on that bugreport?
[11:03] <akik> oerheks: yes but xserver-xorg-input-libinput-hwe-16.04 doesn't fix it. and the last one is about debian
[11:03] <akik> i used that package in 15.10 and it fixed it there
[11:06] <oerheks> the post before that too? this sounds promissing .. https://askubuntu.com/questions/649103/proper-touchpad-thumb-palm-detection-with-libinput
[11:22] <akik> there's some kind of problem with the files that get installed into /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d between the libinput and synaptics files
[11:23] <akik> if i remove the synaptics files from there and leave the libinput file there, it fixes my problem but disables the synaptics driver
[11:25] <akik> maybe it's ok and now i need to find the configuration for libinput to disable the clickpad bottom area so that clicking doesn't move the mouse cursor
[11:28] <akik> actually this fixed the bottom area problem too. although now mouse movement is much slower than before
[11:30] <akik> so what i did was install xserver-xorg-input-libinput-hwe-16.04 and remove 51-synaptics-quirks.conf and 70-synaptics.conf from /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d
[11:35] <akik> ok finally the speed can be fixed with xinput set-prop "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "libinput Accel Speed" 0.5
[11:36] <akik> i wish this wasn't this hard
[11:36] <qswz> when you have a laptop with some 4Go DDR4 2133MHz weld RAM, and you want to add more (4Go or 8 Go, is it important to choose same frequency?)

[12:18] <fishcooker> how to disable fingerprint im on DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 17.04" ?
[12:19] <fishcooker> im gnome
[12:24] <brainwash> akik: I wonder why the synaptics config files still have an effect while not using the synaptics driver anymore
[12:25] <brainwash> akik: a bug?
[12:27] <akik> brainwash: they are installed by default and not disabled(?) after install that libinput package
[12:28] <sary> IIIdefconIII: This is #ubuntu , Not #kali .
[12:28] <akik> now when i run synclient -l it just says that it can't access the synaptics driver
[12:28] <realies_> i want to install ubuntu live to the usb stick im booting it off
[12:28] <realies_> how do i do this?
[12:29] <sary> fishcooker: what fingerprint are you referring to!
[12:29] <brainwash> akik: obviously it cannot
[12:30] <akik> brainwash: i think there should be some kind of trigger to disable synaptics if you want to use libinput
[12:30] <brainwash> akik: newer ubuntus use libinput by default I think
[12:31] <brainwash> akik: I'd think that those two packages would conflict
[12:31] <akik> brainwash: there was no conflict on 16.04
[12:31] <sary> realies_: What! do you care to rephrase that?
[12:32] <brainwash> akik: as in, you can have only one of them installed at the same time
[12:32] <realies_> sary, booting ubuntu live off a usb stick, installing it on the same stick, rebooting and booting from the stick
[12:33] <hateball> realies_: That's not possible
[12:33] <realies_> because?
[12:34] <brainwash> I assume it is possible
[12:34] <TJ-> realies_: is there free space on the USB device so you could do a live repartition to use the free space in a new partition?
[12:35] <brainwash> it may be a bit hacky
[12:35] <fishcooker> auth fingerprint sary
[12:35] <realies_> TJ-, sure, prolly need to redo it as i just formated it from the live distro
[12:35] <fishcooker> if imon 17.04 then do-release-upgrade it what release i will get next?
[12:36] <TJ-> realies_: generally it helps to pre-prepare the USB device so you can pre-emptively edit the partition table to recover the free space (by shrinking the installer partition to the size of the ISO)
[12:37] <akik> brainwash: if i try to remove xserver-xorg-input-synaptics-hwe-16.04, apt-get also wants to remove xserver-xorg-input-all-hwe-16.04
[12:37] <akik> i'm not sure if i want to do that :P
[12:37] <TJ-> realies_: but I have done it on a booted live USB a few times; it's tricky though, better to pre-prepare
[12:37] <fishcooker> let's say i want to upgrade to 17.10 from 17.04 what should i do
[12:37] <realies_> so u can't load the content of the live distro to a ramdisk and install from there?
[12:38] <brainwash> akik: input-all is a meta package which pulls in other packages
[12:38] <brainwash> akik: package
[12:38] <akik> brainwash: is it safe to remove?
[12:39] <brainwash> akik: I think yes. I don't have it anymore
[12:40] <brainwash> akik: here on 17.10 it only pulls in xserver-xorg-input-libinput, and xserver-xorg-input-wacom as recommended package
[12:40] <TJ-> realies_: if you've sufficient RAM you could create a ramdisk loop device, install into that, then as the very last step 'dd' it onto the raw USB device and then immediately reboot.
[12:41] <realies_> geez :)
[12:41] <realies_> i gotta redo the flash drive i guess, just formated it
[12:41] <realies_> assuming the installer would be copying from there
[12:41] <akik> brainwash: ok i removed xserver-xorg-input-all-hwe-16.04 and xorg still working
[12:43] <TJ-> realies_: 'dd' the ISO onto the USB (you've probably already done that). Use 'gdisk' to inspect the partition table. Find out how much space the ISO is using, and compare that to the actual ISO file size. Determine the free space then use 'gdisk' to shrink the partition containing the installer to slighlty larger than the ISO file. With the free space create new partition(s) for installing into, then reboot.
[12:43] <TJ-> The installer can then be pointed to the USB device's free-space partitions using manual partitioning
[12:45] <TJ-> realies_: once you've booted the installed system successfully after doing the install, you can delete the installer partition and re-use that partition. If you install using LVM then you can simply add that partition to the existing volume group and it will be available to use

[13:30] <ducasse> xmoon123134x: you won't get a newer version without upgrading to a later ubuntu release, packages in a release do not receive version updates (normally)
[13:33] <oerheks> zesty & artfull gets 1.62, https://packages.ubuntu.com/zesty/libboost-dev

[13:36] <NoCode> Hi, I'm trying to get my PS3 wireless headset working under Ubuntu MATE. I've run some tests with, "sudo aplay -l". It lists the device.

[13:36] <NoCode> or maybe it's pulseaudio. I guess pulseaudio.
[13:36] <sobukus> Anyone successfully running Ubuntu 16.04 on server hardware with Intel Matrix RAID? I apparently got this issue Red Hat fixed 5 years ago: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=785739

[13:37] <ducasse> sobukus: note - there is also #ubuntu-server
[13:38] <hateball> NoCode: Are you not getting sound to the headset? Is it available as an output device in the volume applet?
[13:38] <ducasse> xmoon123134x: try to find a fix first, then consider upgrading if that fails.
[13:38] <NoCode> hateball, It's available but disabled.
[13:39] <sobukus> ducasse: Thanks … that might be more appropriate (althoug that Intel RAID thing probably also exists on desktops).
[13:40] <ducasse> sobukus: i have no clue, i only use zfs for raid
[13:40] <sobukus> ducasse: I presume you don't boot from that, though.
[13:40] <NoCode> Those tests were done wirelessly.
[13:40] <hateball> NoCode: Hmmm, then I dont know, havent used any bluetooth audio myself :|
[13:40] <NoCode> USB audio works
[13:41] <NoCode> WIreless will not

[14:57] <Mrokii> Hello. Some time ago my system froze a few times (most probably due to a faulty motherboard). I had to use the reset button to restart. After one of these freezes graphical glitches started to appear (sometimes green squares all over the screen, sometimes the screen is totally distorted. I wonder if there is a problem with my graphics card (unlikely I think, as I had no graphical glitches before the freezes)
[14:57] <Mrokii> or if some system files got damaged. I have replaced the motherboard, cpu and RAM btw, so the only remaining old hardware is the graphics card.
[14:58] <Mrokii> My question is if there is a way to repair the system, maybe by overwriting / reinstalling the system without losing the other things I've installed meanwhile.
[14:58] <EriC^^> Mrokii: try a live usb and see how it works
[14:59] <EriC^^> Mrokii: you can get a list of installed packages and backup your data and clean install
[14:59] <Mrokii> I can do that. But I guess I'll have to reinstall the nvidia-drivers there, to make sure that it isn't a graphics cards problem.
[15:00] <Mrokii> EriC^^: I have my home-folder on another partition, so I'd only have to get a list of the installed packages I assume.
[15:00] <EriC^^> Mrokii: you can't do that in a live usb, they get loaded on boot time and when you restart they'll be gone
[15:00] <EriC^^> Mrokii: yeah
[15:01] <Mrokii> EriC^^: Well, the drivers would be installed (and used I presume?) as long as I don't reboot.
[15:02] <Mrokii> So I could test the live usb for a while.
[15:02] <EriC^^> Mrokii: no, they get loaded and used when you're booting the pc
[15:02] <Mrokii> Oh, okay.
[15:03] <Mrokii> I haven't done that in a long time. But I may have a regular (non live) Kubuntu-installation somewhere on a usb-stick. I'll check.
[15:08] <Mrokii> EriC^^: The interesting thing is that it seems, that while I'm not really logged in, there are no graphical glitches. They only seem to appear after I have really logged in (I am on a tty at the moment, with the login-screen being shown on the regular screen).

[16:05] <azaki> i just upgraded from xenial to zesty (16.04 to 17.04), and it would appear that the dhcp client isn't started automatically anymore. i assume maybe this was because of some change between these versions that didn't carry over in the upgrade somehow. should i just enable dhclient through systemctl or what?
[16:05] <azaki> like i'm mostly wondering what the out of the box configuration would be for 17.04
[16:05] <azaki> it's a wired connection btw.
[16:06] <brainwash> void07: no idea then
[16:06] <void07> hmm
[16:07] <akik> PCatinean: were you able to authenticate to vsftpd?
[16:07] <brainwash> void07: maybe ask in ##hardware
[16:21] <C_minus> I accidentally formatted my Win7 partition from inside Ubuntu. Is there a hope of recovering files or is it toast?
[16:21] <arch-nemesis> C_minus: I'd stay stop using anything, maybe try photorec
[16:22] <arch-nemesis> When you format a drive, it writes to some parts of the drive, but doesn't wipe the drive. Photorec will try to detect the filesystem and find files.
[16:22] <arch-nemesis> but definitely don't start saving new files there.
[16:23] <C_minus> arch-nemesis: It was a fast format. I'm not using the hard drive, I have the laptop running a live ubuntu usb. I read about a tool called TestDisk...
[16:24] <arch-nemesis> Photorec is part of the TestDisk suite of tools.
[16:24] <arch-nemesis> You're on the right track.
[16:26] <arch-nemesis> C_minus: You're looking at this probabyl: https://www.cgsecurity.org/
[16:26] <C_minus> I'm currently at a screen dispolaying "Current partition structure"... I believe the "FAT32 LBA" is the (former?) Win7 partition. This was having selected to "Analyze"...
[16:26] <C_minus> As is described here https://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step
[16:29] <arch-nemesis> It might not be. Fat32 might be some EFI partition or something. I'm sure Windows 7 was on NTFS and it might be (now) some linux FS like ext4
[16:30] <arch-nemesis> but it's safe to analyze. Those tools will analyze without editing anything unless you tell it to.
[16:31] <C_minus> Here's the screen I'm faced with currently: https://pastebin.com/9xwFvAGV
[16:32] <pavlos> linuxnoob011: any update on the wired interface ?
[16:33] <C_minus> What\s the eventual goal here? Am I supposed to be able to copy files off the corrupted partition onto some other device like an external hard drive?
[16:34] <C_minus> I never used TestDisk before
[16:39] <ajelrot> hi
[16:39] <ajelrot> how do i know if my root password is set or not?
[16:40] <lotuspsychje> !sudo | ajelrot
[16:43] <netsrot> Hi, how do change keybindings in weston on ubuntu? I think I need to recompile weston for that. Is there any good guides for that?
[16:46] <brainwash> netsrot: please ask in #wayland
[16:47] <ducasse> netsrot: afaik you can only configure the binding modifier
[16:47] <brainwash> netsrot: weston is more like a demo only. I suggest using a proper wayland compositor
[16:49] <ducasse> netsrot: if you search phoronix they've had an article listing many wayland compositors
[16:50] <C_minus> I'm following this: https://www.tecmint.com/photorec-recover-deleted-lost-files-in-linux/ is there any way to restrict search to a particular directory?
[16:58] <frostschutz> C_minus, photorec has no concept of directories
[16:58] <C_minus> frostschutz: Sorry I kind of get that, I'll just be patient.
[17:02] <lotuspsychje> C_minus: you can save time, by adding extensions you want to scan on .doc .jpg etc
[17:03] <lotuspsychje> C_minus: scanning whole drive on all filetypes is a big job on large drives
[17:04] <C_minus> lotuspsychje: I'm currently only looking for my most crucial files which thankfully happen to all be .zips. I'll do other file types later. Thank you for the advice.
[17:06] <lotuspsychje> C_minus: no sweat i use photorec alot myself
[17:08] <C_minus> lotuspsychje: The background is: in an unprecedented fit of stupidity I formatted my Win7 partition from inside Ubuntu. Not so bothered about the loss of the OS, but I had a few files I'd like to recover.
[17:08] <lotuspsychje> C_minus: photorec is real decent, if it cant find your data back, its lost :p
[17:09] <netsrot> brainwash and ducasse: I really want to use weston. Changing the keybindings in the source file seems easy as long as I can find a guide on how to build it in ubuntu.
[17:11] <C_minus> lotuspsychje: I fear I might run out of space on this LiveUSB soon. For my next photorec search, am I able to write the recovered files onto an external harddruve instead?
[17:11] <lotuspsychje> netsrot: can this help? https://wayland.freedesktop.org/ubuntu16.04.html
[17:12] <lotuspsychje> C_minus: yeah plugin your external before lauching photorec and choose destination
[17:14] <arch-nemesis> C_minus, You can also copy files to a remote SSH server or something since you're running out of space. But yeah, accidently formatting over a drive is one of the worst things that can happen
[17:14] <netsrot> lotuspsychje: I'm using ubuntu 17.10 so a 16.04 guide might be a bit old. was that even before systemd?
[17:15] <lotuspsychje> netsrot: 17.10 support in #ubuntu+1 please
[17:27] <ghostnik11> i just installed ubuntu 15.10 on to a asus t100 and had it whipe the entire windows partition on the internal 32gb hard. now i need to tell it where grub is and i can't do that
[17:27] <nacc> ghostnik11: 15.10 is eol, as well
[17:27] <ghostnik11> i know that the filesystem is at hd1,gpt2 but when i root hd1,gpt2 it says root not found
[17:28] <ghostnik11> nacc: i followed these instruction: http://www.jfwhome.com/2016/01/04/latest-steps-to-install-ubuntu-on-the-asus-t100ta/
[17:28] <ghostnik11> nacc: the installation told me that it failed to install the bootloader so after that i just restarted it and went on with the instruction
[17:29] <nacc> ghostnik11: that article is over a year old...
[17:29] <nacc> ghostnik11: but in any case, 15.10 is dead, you should (at least) use 16.04
[17:29] <nacc> ghostnik11: that is probably unrelated to your precise issue, but it would be good to try the 16.04 install, to see if it 'just works'?
[17:29] <C_minus> HOORAY! PhotorRec recovered my files!!
[17:30] <ghostnik11> nacc: okay but is there an option to just once 15.10 is installed then have it update to 16.04?
[17:30] <nacc> !eolupgrade | ghostnik11
[17:30] <nacc> ghostnik11: so you're at the grub prompt?
[17:31] <ghostnik11> nacc: yeah i am at the grub prompt
[17:34] <ghostnik11> nacc: for the latest ubuntu i would need to customize it? or will it work out the box
[17:34] <C_minus> PhotoRec doesn't appear to have an option to search for .WAV files... Does anybody know anything abotu this?
[17:35] <silvian> hai world!
[17:36] <C_minus> Oh apparently this falls under "RIFF"
[17:38] <nacc> ghostnik11: if you are at the grub prompt, then grub loaded
[17:39] <nacc> ghostnik11: you shouldn't be running a root command (afaict)
[17:39] <nacc> ghostnik11: you should be at step 4 of that page and follow those instructionsexactly
[17:39] <nacc> ghostnik11: e.g., linux (hd1,gpt2)/boot/<tab>
[17:40] <ghostnik11> nacc: yeah but this is after i followed the steps to first install it. like i went to install ubuntu selected to whipe entire disk and then it crashed and never finished so i clicked restart then i rebooted and hit c. now i am stuck
[17:40] <nacc> ghostnik11: 'crashed'?
[17:41] <ghostnik11> will try that command reall quick to see if it works nacc yeah it crashed as in when it said something about writing bootloader or grub it said it would send a report then after that it only gave me the option to close. i hit close several times and that window about the report never left so after that i selected to restart
[17:41] <ghostnik11> nacc: in the instructions it says it will crash
[17:42] <nacc> ghostnik11: that's not a 'crash', i don't think
[17:42] <nacc> ghostnik11: it's an error, sure
[17:42] <nacc> ghostnik11: but the instructions say to expect an error?
[17:42] <akik> ikonia: i asked microsoft about that azure ubuntu 16.04 image. they replied that the sudo NOPASSWD: comes from canonical
[17:42] <nacc> ghostnik11: so you did it correctly, but then you need to do the fixup *exactly* as written on that page
[17:42] <nacc> ghostnik11: which it's not clear to me that you are
[17:44] <geirha> akik: hm, so they use an image of the live session?
[17:45] <akik> geirha: no it doesn't start in the live session
[17:45] <akik> geirha: they've included sudo NOPASSWD: in the cloud-init config
[17:45] <ghostnik11> nacc: i don't see a vmlinz when i do the linux (hd1,gpt2) /boot/grub/ it doesn't ever show me that as an autocomplete option
[17:46] <ghostnik11> when i run ls
[17:46] <EriC^^> ghostnik11: vmlinuz should be in /boot not /boot/grub
[17:46] <ghostnik11> nacc: it tells me that hd1,gpt2 has a filesystem
[17:46] <ghostnik11> nacc: a ext filesystem
[17:46] <nacc> ghostnik11: ok, so what about what EriC^^ just said?
[17:47] <nacc> ghostnik11: again, you're not following the instructionns the website gave you
[17:47] <ghostnik11> EriC^^: yeah but using tab for auto complete only put me at /boot/grub
[17:47] <ghostnik11> nacc: :) okay will try to write /boot/vm and then hit tab and see if it auto completes
[17:50] <ghostnik11> nacc: EriC^^ i found out what my issue was, i put a space in between (hd1,gpt2) and /boot its supposed to be togethre
[17:52] <farhad> i test lot. but still i have problem. after suspend, fan speed to maxium!!!!!!!
[17:53] <lotuspsychje> farhad: start with tell us your details, ubuntu version,..
[17:53] <posi> Is this a good place to ask snap questions? If so, I am having issues getting the brave webbrowser's seccomp-bpf sandbox properly functioning in the snap I built. Anything fancy I need to do?
[17:53] <lotuspsychje> !details | farhad
[17:54] <ghostnik11> nacc: EriC^^ okay so i can auto complete up to generic like it tells me the vmlinuz and gives me a number and ends with generic but the instructions now say that the root is going to be my partition home
[17:54] <ghostnik11> nacc: EriC^^ the thing is i don't remember where that partition is specifically is there a command i can run to find out where it is
[17:55] <EriC^^> ghostnik11: did you try configfile $prefix/grub.cfg ?
[17:56] <farhad> my version: https://paste.ubuntu.com/25491631/
[17:56] <ghostnik11> EriC^^: no but wil try that now and see if it will show me where the correct partition for root is
[17:56] <EriC^^> ghostnik11: "ls -l" might work to list partitions and the fs on them
[17:56] <EriC^^> ghostnik11: that will load the grub menu
[17:57] <farhad> when ubuntu wake up from suspend, my fan speed goes to maximum speed and after a while my computer restart.
[17:57] <EriC^^> ghostnik11: give it a shot first, it's easy to try
[17:59] <ghostnik11> EriC^^: the configfile $prefix/grub.cfg didn't work for me it just kicked me back out to grub and out of the command line for grub
[18:00] <ducasse> posi: try #snappy
[18:00] <ghostnik11> nacc: EriC^^ also ls only shows me (hd1,gpt1) and etc. it doesn't show me everything
[18:00] <ghostnik11> nacc: EriC^^ ls -l doesn't work and fs i will try now
[18:01] <EriC^^> ghostnik11: try "echo $prefix"
[18:01] <farhad> i update my bios and disable usb3 from this link: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1331077 . but still have problem.
[18:02] <ducasse> farhad: https://askubuntu.com/questions/947027/ubuntu-gnome-16-04-fan-runs-full-speed-after-resume-from-suspend-and-then-reboot
[18:03] <ghostnik11> EriC^^: nacc echo $prefix only shows me the msdos partition with grub which i assume is really the usb live disk
[18:04] <EriC^^> ghostnik11: try "ls" and try the various fs til you find the one with /boot's contents
[18:04] <EriC^^> ls (hd1,gpt2)/ for instance
[18:05] <ghostnik11> EriC^^: i was going to ask if i should just boot back into live disk then use the disk utility to have it find it for me?
[18:05] <madLyfe> when i format something on desktop using the slow method, the progress of it doesnt stay visible? it goes away so you never know how far along it is or if its finished.
[18:05] <EriC^^> ghostnik11: nah
[18:05] <ghostnik11> EriC^^: fs doesn't work just to let you know
[18:05] <EriC^^> ghostnik11: fs isn't a command, i mean filesystem
[18:06] <EriC^^> ghostnik11: what does "ls" give you?
[18:08] <ghostnik11> EriC^^: when i run ls (hd1,gpt2)/ tab it shows me all the possible files or folders there and when i put boot, boot then shows me the vmlinuz
[18:08] <ghostnik11> EriC^^: but i need to find where the home partition is?
[18:08] <EriC^^> ghostnik11: yeah, well not necessarily
[18:09] <EriC^^> try "configfile (hd1,gpt2)/boot/grub/grub.cfg"
[18:09] <ghostnik11> EriC^^: hey i noticed there is folder there called home!! should i go there
[18:09] <EriC^^> ghostnik11: no
[18:10] <ghostnik11> EriC^^: okay will go wit the configfile step
[18:10] <EriC^^> ghostnik11: you actually just need the root partition to boot, you already have it it's hd1,gpt2
[18:11] <ghostnik11> EriC^^: when i run that command it just takes me now to a black grub>
[18:11] <ghostnik11> EriC^^: blank grub>
[18:12] <EriC^^> ghostnik11: ok, type "ls (hd1,gpt2)"
[18:12] <EriC^^> does it give you the uuid somewhere?
[18:12] <ghostnik11> EriC^^: nope all it says is filesystem is ext2
[18:12] <EriC^^> ok,
[18:13] <EriC^^> type "cat (hd1,gpt2)/etc/fstab"
[18:13] <ghostnik11> EriC^^: yeah that did it
[18:14] <EriC^^> look at the line that has "/" in it
[18:14] <EriC^^> uuid=something-something / ext4
[18:14] <psychoticwarrior> hey
[18:15] <EriC^^> ghostnik11: see it?
[18:15] <ghostnik11> yeah it says: / was on /dev/mmcblk0p2 during installation uuid ... ext4 errors=remount-ro EriC^^
[18:16] <ghostnik11> EriC^^: so safe to say that mmcblk0p2 is the location of where root should be
[18:16] <EriC^^> ghostnik11: type "linux (hd1,gpt2)/boot/vmlinuz-tab-complete root=uuid=copy-the-uuid-here
[18:17] <EriC^^> ghostnik11: then initrd (hd1,gpt2)/boot/initrd-matching-numbers
[18:18] <psychoticwarrior> why dont you just run grub-install <dev>
[18:18] <psychoticwarrior> use super grub 2 disk
[18:21] <ghostnik11> EriC^^: matching numbers for initrd would be those from the vmlinuz-4.2.0-16-generic
[18:21] <EriC^^> yup
[18:23] <ghostnik11> EriC^^: should i also include with it: well should it look like this initrd (hd1,gpt2)/boot/initrd-4.2.0-16-generic
[18:23] <ghostnik11> EriC^^: or should i include also root=uuid and etc?
[18:23] <silvian> quit
[18:23] <EriC^^> no just the former
[18:23] <EriC^^> ghostnik11: then type boot
[18:24] <ghostnik11> EriC^^: says file /boot/initrd-4.2.0-16-generic not found
[18:24] <EriC^^> ghostnik11: use tab complete
[18:24] <psychoticwarrior> can you even access your file system
[18:24] <psychoticwarrior> ?
[18:25] <EriC^^> ghostnik11: it should be initrd.img-4.2...
[18:25] <ghostnik11> EriC^^: at the end of the uuid was i suppose to include /
[18:25] <ghostnik11> at the end of that long number string EriC^^
[18:25] <EriC^^> no
[18:26] <ghostnik11> EriC^^: okay say something like this: initrd (hd1,gpt2)/boot/initrd.img-4.2.0-16-generic
[18:27] <EriC^^> yes
[18:28] <ghostnik11> EriC^^: you are the man it booted but stoped at busybox v1.22.1
[18:28] <ghostnik11> EriC^^: what did i do wrong
[18:28] <EriC^^> did it mention anything before that?
[18:28] <EriC^^> you probably missed a number in the uuid
[18:28] <ghostnik11> EriC^^: on the website with instruction says that i got everything correct excep tthe root locaion
[18:29] <ghostnik11> if it drops me at a busybox EriC^^
[18:29] <ghostnik11> but i don't get it i put the correct uuid in
[18:30] <ghostnik11> EriC^^: can i edit it correctly from here or do i need to restart
[18:30] <EriC^^> it says why at the top
[18:30] <Richard_Cavell> nacc: I thought I should report back to you. I've been using Steam for 3 days now.  No problems at all.
[18:31] <Richard_Cavell> That's Steam for Linux.  It automatically updates itself to the newest version, so there's no need to keep track of which version number
[18:31] <ghostnik11> EriC^^: i don't understand where at the top its a ton of code
[18:31] <ghostnik11> EriC^^: all it has is the version number of busybox and initramfs
[18:32] <madLyfe> is there a way to see the progress on a format of a drive?
[18:35] <EriC^^> ghostnik11: try instead of the uuid root=/dev/sda2    or /dev/sdb2
[18:35] <EriC^^> ghostnik11: what's the backstory of your problem?
[18:36] <ghostnik11> EriC^^: i just ran blkid and it gave me: /dev/mmcblk0p2: uuid= then a whole bunch of numbers EriC^^
[18:37] <psychoticwarrior> yo if you really cant get grub to work. try grub super 2 disk
[18:37] <psychoticwarrior> if that doesnt work
[18:37] <psychoticwarrior> try to backup your data. and reinstall
[18:37] <ghostnik11> can i try those same commands b/4 in busybox
[18:38] <ioria>  mmcblk0p2 should be an sd card , am i wrong ?
[18:39] <EriC^^> ah
[18:39] <ghostnik11> EriC^^: backstory is windows sucks and i need this laptop to study with once i get back to school when the hurrican passes so i can read my digital textbooks and kindle books and etc. but windows 10 is stupid and messed that all up for me
[18:39] <EriC^^> is it one of those hybrid tablet pc's?
[18:39] <ghostnik11> ioria: yeah its one of those hybrid type pc's EriC^^
[18:40] <EriC^^> ghostnik11: paste the link to the guide you're following
[18:40] <ghostnik11> http://www.jfwhome.com/2016/01/04/latest-steps-to-install-ubuntu-on-the-asus-t100ta/ EriC^^
[18:42] <EriC^^> ghostnik11: ok, go back to grub
[18:42] <ioria> ghostnik11, let me guess, you installed 15.10 ?
[18:43] <ghostnik11> ioria: yeah, i know its stupid but i will update to 16.04 as soon as i get in
[18:43] <ioria> ghostnik11, ok
[18:43] <ghostnik11> EriC^^: so just restart it and go back to grub or is there a way i can do it from busybox to invoke grub
[18:43] <EriC^^> ghostnik11: no press ctrl+alt+del
[18:44] <ghostnik11> EriC^^: okay i am back in grub
[18:44] <ghostnik11> ioria: it would have been better if i just went straight with 16.04?
[18:45] <ioria> ghostnik11, yeah, but idt  the issue is there
[18:45] <EriC^^> ghostnik11: type "linux (hd1,gpt2)/boot/vmlinuz-tab-complete root=/dev/mmcblk0p2
[18:46] <psychoticwarrior> ghostnik11 what did you do to your OS
[18:48] <ghostnik11> EriC^^: that worked now its just another blank grub. should i try to boot now?
[18:48] <EriC^^> no
[18:49] <EriC^^> ghostnik11: initrd (hd1,gpt2)/boot/initrd....
[18:49] <nejni-marji> Does anyone know how to get perl plugins for urxvt on ubuntu? I tried apt search but it didn't help any
[18:49] <ghostnik11> psychoticwarrior: i didn't do anything to my os. i backed up winodws entire piece of crap using clonezilla just in case then booted the ubuntu 15.10 and told it to whipe away windows and install ubunut on entire disk
[18:49] <psychoticwarrior> ok
[18:49] <psychoticwarrior> i understand now
[18:50] <psychoticwarrior> can you do grub-install <dev>
[18:50] <psychoticwarrior> update-grub
[18:50] <psychoticwarrior> update-initramfs -u
[18:50] <ghostnik11> EriC^^: yeah it just ends with generic
[18:50] <EriC^^> ghostnik11: k
[18:50] <ghostnik11> EriC^^: i hit enter, now should i boot
[18:50] <EriC^^> yeah
[18:53] <ghostnik11> EriC^^: okay thanks bro it finally booted but for some reason my tablet isn't charging even though its plugged in and says charging. this all started on windows and i believe its windows that caused this problem. it charges when completely off is there a better driver i can download and install for ubuntu
[18:54] <kappa1> I have a mail folder in my home, which is full of emails. How can I read them in a way that makes sense?
[18:54] <EriC^^> ghostnik11: no idea, continue the guide and maybe along the way it'll work
[18:55] <ghostnik11> EriC^^: thanks for all the help everyone including nacc ioria and psychoticwarrior
[18:55] <psychoticwarrior> no problem man
[18:55] <psychoticwarrior> im glad i tried to helpo
[18:55] <psychoticwarrior> you figured out the boot sequence
[18:56] <psychoticwarrior> i just said to boot it using grub-install
[18:56] <ioria> ghostnik11, did nothing mate, but you're welcm
[18:57] <glitsj16> nejni-marji: Aren't those perl extensions part of the rxvt-unicode package?
[18:57] <Bashing-om> ghostnik11: Welcone to ubuntu :) Here it is all for one, and one for all . Open source !
[18:58] <EriC^^> ghostnik11: no problem
[18:58] <nejni-marji> I'm using rxvt-unicode-256color
[18:58] <ducasse> kappa1: that entirely depends on the format they're in
[18:58] <nejni-marji> the specific extension I'm looking for is url-select
[19:00] <psychoticwarrior> i added pci=nomsi to /etc/default/grub so far it doesnt give me a error
[19:00] <ghostnik11> Bashing-om: thanks, i actually have been with ubuntu since ubuntu 9.10 or before that. from like 2008 and i have never looked back. just that my dad got me a tablet and i told him not to get windows tablet but he got it for me anyway so i was forced to use what i got. and windows is just crap. they force updates on you then those updates break your system. so now i finally got a chance to run ubuntu on the tablet so i am
[19:00] <ghostnik11> in heaven
[19:01] <brainwash> nejni-marji: https://github.com/muennich/urxvt-perls/tree/master/deprecated
[19:01] <nejni-marji> where would i put it?
[19:02] <nejni-marji> oh
[19:02] <brainwash> ~/.urxvt/ext/
[19:02] <nejni-marji> I can use matcher instead also, apparently
[19:02] <nejni-marji> thanks
[19:14] <farhad> ducasse: really thanks to help me. your solution solve my problem :)

[19:30] <jilocasin0> oerheks: according ot that link it's only got 1.22.1 (which I already have installed)
[19:31] <oerheks> 1.22.2-1
[19:31] <oerheks> there is no 1.22.2-2 AFAIK
[19:32] <oerheks> oh, "WARNING: pgAdmin 3 is no longer supported. It is recommended that you download pgAdmin 4 instead." >> https://www.pgadmin.org/download/
[19:32] <jilocasin0> oerheks: So how do I get it?
[19:32] <jilocasin0> oerheks: There is currently _no_ binary of pgAdmin4 for Ubuntu.
[19:32] <psychoticwarrior> download the source code
[19:32] <oerheks> build it yourself then?
[19:33] <jilocasin0> oerheks: Not likely (tried, too many missing dependencies)
[19:35] <oerheks> maybe this page is any help about dependencies https://kiahosseini.github.io/help/2016/10/18/installing-pgadmin4-ubuntu-16.04.html
[19:36] <jilocasin0> oerheks: That page doesn't have anything to do with building the binary
[19:38] <platz> anyone have trouble with networkmanager/wifi not working upon wake from suspend?  sometimes 'sudo systemctl restart network-manager.service' fixes it, but sometimes it does not and I have to reboot
[19:39] <oerheks> jilocasin0, oh, then i have no idea
[19:40] <jilocasin0> oerheks: the binary version is alot like pgAdmin3, the fat windows/mac/linux client doesn't require python, wheel, virtual anything, a web browser, or a server
[19:40] <platz> also, sometimes it seems like certain programs like chrome take a very long time to start after wake from suspsend.. i'm not sure if something is odd with dbus or ck-session after suspsend
[19:40] <brainwash> platz: check journalctl
[19:41] <platz> brainwash: i will next time; i don't have a persistant journal
[19:43] <brainwash> platz: also, I would start chrome from a terminal window, and check if it complains about something while starting
[19:44] <platz> will do, thanks
[19:48] <psychoticwarrior> start chrome with a different user then root
[19:48] <psychoticwarrior> it doesnt usually like root
[20:30] <silvian> hai world!
[20:33] <curlyears> hiegh hough
[20:33] <curlyears> in 16.04.1LTS, using term, is there a "new tab" capability?
[20:35] <curlyears> I am reading "Learn Enough Command Line To Be Dangerous," and the first exercise is to learn how to create multiple tabs in your term window
[20:36] <curlyears> I did man term and man terminfo, but found no references to multiple tabs
[20:36] <curlyears> 1100 users, and NO ONE is talking?  Weird.  Eerie, even.   :) :0
[20:43] <glitsj16> curlyears: using tabs depends on the terminal emulator you use, some support it, some don't.. What terminal app do you use?
[20:44] <leftyfb> curlyears: CTRL+SHIFT+T
[20:44] <tomreyn> curlyears: also there are temrinal multiplexers like screen and tmux (and byobu)
[20:44] <leftyfb> in "terminal"
[20:44] <leftyfb> or gnome-terminal
[20:45] <lankanmon> Hi all, my serer crashed and resulted in mysql server being curruped.
[20:45] <lankanmon> I tried to reinstall, but i am getting an error. any ideas?
[20:45] <lankanmon> All I need to to is save my databases
[20:45] <lankanmon> (export)
[20:45] <leftyfb> lankanmon: restore from backup
[20:46] <deww> was it really that bad of a crash that mysqlcheck doesn't fix it?
[20:46] <lankanmon> my backup is 2 days old and does not have some really important stuff from earlier today
[20:46] <mindofmateo> I'm on 16.04 LTS. I received help a few days ago because my desktop was having problems when I would suspend. That doesn't really seem to be an issue anymore, but now, multiple times, the system just freezes. While I'm using it. It doesn't respond in any way. Yes, this is vague but I don't know what the problem is nor how to solve it.
[20:46] <lankanmon> deww: i can't get mysql to install
[20:46] <mindofmateo> What could cause Ubuntu to freeze but not crash?
[20:46] <mindofmateo> How do I even diagnose the problem?
[20:46] <leftyfb> lankanmon: posting an error to pastebin would help troubleshoot
[20:47] <leftyfb> mindofmateo: I always start with proper video drivers
[20:47] <lankanmon> leftyfb: https://pastebin.com/raw/4KkMjNip
[20:48] <curlyears> ah, thanks, leftyfb.   That did it
[20:48] <mindofmateo> leftyfb Does that mean restart and update?
[20:48] <tomreyn> lankanmon: IIRC purging mysql packages also removes databases
[20:48] <mindofmateo> TJ- are you there by chance? Lol
[20:48] <leftyfb> I was going to mention that
[20:49] <lankanmon> it asked me and i said no
[20:49] <leftyfb> mindofmateo: I would look into installing proper display drivers
[20:49] <lankanmon> is there a way to recover from files?
[20:49] <acresearch> people, there is something strange in ubuntu 17.04, when I copy files to/from flash drives the copy speed starts fast then becomes very very slow... why?
[20:50] <tgm4883> lankanmon: are you able to remove mysql-server-5.7 ?
[20:50] <leftyfb> acresearch: depends on the flash drive and the files you're copying. Not really a symptom of the distro
[20:50] <lankanmon> tgm4883: let me try
[20:50] <acresearch> leftyfb: this issue is not present using the same devices in 16.04 LST
[20:51] <mindofmateo> leftyfb do you know how I can enable persistent logging? Or something that I can look at when this happens again to see what the problem is?
[20:51] <leftyfb> acresearch: never heard of such a thing. Are you sure you're comparing similar file structures being copied? (number of files, type, size, etc)
[20:52] <mindofmateo> I remember someone mentioning that before
[20:52] <leftyfb> mindofmateo: personally I would look through logs in /var/log/
[20:52] <mindofmateo> Thanks
[20:52] <leftyfb> mindofmateo: but as I said, I would start with video drivers
[20:52] <acresearch> leftyfb: yes, i am copying a 30GB database    same thing i have been doing but now on 17.04 it starts very fast 33 mb/s  then slows down to 10 mb/s
[20:54] <tgm4883> acresearch: both SSDs or Hard drives?
[20:54] <acresearch> my computer has an SSD and i am copying from a SSD flas drive  usb
[20:54] <acresearch> usb 3
[20:55] <lankanmon> tgm4883: so i removed it
[20:55] <tgm4883> lankanmon: removed or purged?
[20:55] <lankanmon> removed
[20:55] <tgm4883> lankanmon: ok, are you able to install mysql now?
[20:56] <lankanmon> the same? mysql-server-5.7
[20:56] <tgm4883> lankanmon: whatever you were trying to install before. That was the package that was causing problems as it was trying to configure it
[20:56] <lankanmon> i was installing just mysql-server
[20:57] <tgm4883> lankanmon: ok, then install just 'mysql-server'
[20:57] <lankanmon> but the one i had was the original ones that comes with ubuntu server LAMP image
[20:57] <tgm4883> lankanmon: if it fails again (which I suspect it might) we might have to remove the config files
[20:57] <lankanmon> that is what i want
[20:57] <tgm4883> lankanmon: you want the original what?
[20:57] <glitsj16> acresearch: kernel from 17.04 might have a different IO scheduler set for USB devices.. have you checked what you're using currently?
[20:59] <lankanmon> tgm4883: Yeah it failed: https://pastebin.com/XeZwuY28
[20:59] <acresearch> glitsj16: no, in terms of kernel, i am not that advanced of a user
[21:00] <lankanmon> so i checked /var/lib/mysql and it does still contain the innodb files
[21:00] <mindofmateo> leftyfb when I restarted, there was some dialog output on screen, something about Recovering journal, sda6, it was about 12-15 lines I think? It went away before I could take a picture or write it down.
[21:00] <lankanmon> is there a way to create a dump from that?
[21:00] <leftyfb> mindofmateo: that's an fsck disk check because it wasn't a proper shutdown
[21:00] <lankanmon> I just need the databases. The congig/users i dont need
[21:01] <tgm4883> lankanmon: might try purging that mysql-server-5.7 package then. It will git rid of the config files for mysql which could be causing trouble. On the other hand, it looks like during install it's failing to start mysql. So we could just start there
[21:01] <glitsj16> acresearch: try running "cat /sys/block/sdc/queue/scheduler" to check defaults.. exchange "sdc" with the disk your using
[21:01] <tgm4883> lankanmon: I'd check the mysql logs in /var/log and see if it mentions any errors
[21:02] <glitsj16> acresearch: in the output, whatever is in square brackets [] is your active IO scheduler
[21:03] <acresearch> glitsj16: its ok, i am not that advanced of a user anyway, i'll just go back to 16.04 LTS,
[21:04] <glitsj16> acresearch: no problem, 16.04 is much more stable anyway IMO, good choice
[21:04] <lankanmon> tgm4883: there are a ton of error i am not sure where to start... I think some are from me trying to uninstall
[21:04] <tgm4883> lankanmon: pastebin the log
[21:05] <lankanmon> its 27721 lines and all appears to be from today
[21:06] <tgm4883> lankanmon: then truncate the log file, try to reinstall again and then all the lines should be relevant
[21:09] <mindofmateo> leftyfb:  here's what I have in /var/log: termbin.com/tfth      I looked through `syslog` but I don't know what I'm looking for/don't see anything that looks bad.  There is a gap in the time stamps that corresponds to when I rebooted, and the last line before that says: CRON[11736]: (root) CMD (   cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly)     Th
[21:09] <mindofmateo> at seems normal.
[21:18] <sirru5h> Howdy Everyone
[21:34] <lankanmon> tgm4883: here is the truncated file after a single install attempt
[21:34] <lankanmon> https://pastebin.com/pNf2LzEv
[21:36] <tgm4883> lankanmon: some quick searching suggests turning off innodb checksums. Did you shutdown/crash the database incorrectly?
[21:37] <zht1> I'm trying to get my radeon HD 7570 GPU to work with OPENGL 4.5, but the open source driver does not seem to support it. There is a linux driver for 15.04 available, but will it work on my 17.04 build?
[21:37] <tgm4883> zht1: probably not
[21:38] <zht1> So there is no way to get opengl 4.5 then?
[21:38] <zht1> without upgrading?
[21:39] <tgm4883> zht1: IDK, I was just stating that a linux driver (for graphics especially) for 15.04 isn't going to work with 17.04
[21:39] <zht1> Oh, okay
[21:41] <aloo_shu> I have an ubuntu 16.04.3 64bit install that quit when installing grub. how can I repeat just the missing last steps and avoid copying files a 2nd time?
[21:42] <lankanmon> tgm4883: Well yeah... had a greyout and my unraid derver died
[21:42] <lankanmon> when it cam back the VM config filed
[21:42] <tgm4883> lankanmon: how important is the data in the databases?
[21:45] <lankanmon> I would really like to get it back
[21:45] <lankanmon> just the data
[21:45] <lankanmon> I will be reinstalling a new vm anyway since i dont trust the integrity of this install anymore
[21:46] <lankanmon> but i would like to import the DB
[21:46] <tgm4883> lankanmon: well as I said, quick searching suggests that disabling the checksums ( innodb_log_checksums = 0  ) will allow it to start
[21:46] <tgm4883> lankanmon: is this currently in a VM?
[21:46] <lankanmon> yes
[21:47] <tgm4883> lankanmon: ah, then I'd snapshot it and try setting that setting. That way, if anything goes awry you can revert the snapshot
[21:47] <lankanmon> do you know where the configs are
[21:48] <tgm4883> lankanmon: /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/ probably
[21:52] <aloo_shu> I have an ubuntu 16.04.3 64bit install that quit when installing grub. how can I repeat just the missing last steps and avoid copying files a 2nd time?
[21:53] <tgm4883> !recovergrub | aloo_shu this should help
[22:03] <aloo_shu> tgm4883 looks like my isp might be messing w/ http, I have grub from mint, and grub-mkconfig picked up ubuntu. only I'm getting stuck in initramfs, ubuntu is on lvm, and the corresponding entries in the/dev tree are missing
[22:08] <lankanmon> tgm4883: I tried but it failed
[22:10] <lankanmon> also seem to get the error regarless of what install i am doing
[22:11] <lankanmon> i did update and upgrade and still got the error
[22:43] <aloo_shu> if dropped into initramfs shell at boot, how can I tell it to create /dev entries for my lvm partitions, like /dev/dm-1? lvm cmds like lvsca  *do* work, just the device tr doesn't have themee
[22:43] <aloo_shu> them
[22:44] <aloo_shu> device tree
[22:44] <aloo_shu> lvscan
[22:53] <vlt> aloo_shu: Maybe not the full set of commands is available.
[22:54] <vlt> aloo_shu: Try `lvs vgchange -ay ...`
[22:54] <vlt> Er ... lvm
[22:54] <vlt> Should launch an LVM shell.
[22:55] <aloo_shu> vlt, no, I need the cmd to populate /dev incl. lvm partitions, lvm as such works fine
[22:55] <vlt> hmm
[22:56] <aloo_shu> but the scripts cannot find the root device, /dev/dm-2. It is there in lvm, as something like VolumeGroup1-bla
[22:58] <aloo_shu> if I borrow kernel and initrd from mint and pass the same root to kernel, I can boot, albeit w/ somewhat mismatched kernel
[23:01] <oerheks> aloo_shu, so why did you use mint to "fix" ??
[23:02] <aloo_shu> oerheks, I didn't use mint to fix, just to see if the ubuntu install can be booted and root=/dev/dm-2 works
[23:03] <aloo_shu> so that's not my problem, ubuntu initrd isn't putting /dev/dm-2 into the device tree, although lvm can see the lv , oerheks
[23:16] <lankanmon> so i have a question, if i backup the inteire myql lib folder (with all of the innodb databases) would i be able to transfer it to a donor server to get it working just so i can safely export it?
[23:29] <TheMontyChrist> dpkg: error processing package grub-pc (--configure)
[23:29] <TheMontyChrist> I get this when "sudo apt-get install tcpreplay"
[23:29] <psychoticwarrior> try
[23:30] <psychoticwarrior> dpkg --configure -a
[23:32] <TheMontyChrist> thanks
[23:32] <psychoticwarrior> no problem
[23:32] <psychoticwarrior> did it work?
[23:38] <psychoticwarrior> TheMontyChrist did it work?
[23:58] <aloo_shu> at the end of an install, would initrd get newly generated?
