| sirru5h | Hello Everyone | 00:11 |
|---|---|---|
| glitsj16 | aloo_shu: An install of a linux-image-... package via apt would call a post-install hook to generate an initrd image yes, is that what you mean? | 00:17 |
| aloo_shu | glitsj16 no, I have a fresh install with a initrd that fails to start lvm and hence cannot find root | 00:24 |
| glitsj16 | aloo_shu: ow, have you tried regenerating it manually yet? | 00:25 |
| aloo_shu | glitsj16 I am at it, in a chroot. you happen to know how to get /dev and /proc going inside the chroot? | 00:26 |
| sirru5h | hmm iirc /dev would need a --bind | 00:31 |
| glitsj16 | aloo_shu: for i in /dev /dev/pts /run /proc /sys; do sudo mount --bind "$i" "YOUR-CHROOT-MOUNTPOINT/$i"; done | 00:31 |
| aloo_shu | thx! | 00:33 |
| glitsj16 | aloo_shu: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCdRecovery, the command above uses a different syntax, but it should have the same effect | 00:33 |
| aloo_shu | I'd probably bind - mounted by hand, but this is elegant | 00:37 |
| aloo_shu | update-initramfs -c -k all is running! glad. | 00:37 |
| aloo_shu | but unfortunately, no improvement - still stuck in an initramfs shell with lvm relevant stuff not running, how could I tell update-/mkinitramfs to include lvm? glitsj16 | 00:41 |
| aloo_shu | since my install didn't finish, the system might be only half-aware it's on lvm. or it's a ubuntustudio low-latency kernel problem. | 00:45 |
| glitsj16 | aloo_shu: not sure if that's possible sorry.. I know you can add modules via /etc/initramfs-tools/modules, but LVM is something I haven't much experience with | 00:45 |
| glitsj16 | aloo_shu: that would make sense, half-aware = half-botched :p | 00:46 |
| aloo_shu | glitsj16 and #lvm is not very busy .. | 00:46 |
| glitsj16 | aloo_shu: maybe try ##linux | 00:46 |
| bobsaccamano | Hi..I have a dual boot Win 7 and Ubuntu 16.04. I want to increase the size of the Linux partition with an unallocated block preceding the Linux partition. Apparently this is not straightforward and I would appreciate some pointers on how to handle this. GParted screenshot is attached. | 00:47 |
| bobsaccamano | https://ibb.co/k1CKwv | 00:47 |
| glitsj16 | always tricky to find channels with good help-flow on a friday night alas | 00:47 |
| aloo_shu | glitchsj16 nor is #ubuntustudio , it is a possibility that lvm got overlooked since low latency kernels are a speciality .. | 00:48 |
| glitsj16 | aloo_shu: yes indeed.. personally, if you just installed now, I would redo the installation | 00:48 |

| Audio | Hey, I accidently changed permissions in the usr folder, since timeshift messed them up and I had to had permission to install some py libraries | 00:51 |
| Audio | Well, now I can't access my linux system | 00:51 |
| Audio | I don't really have any important info on it, but I still want to check if there's another option except for reinstalling linux | 00:52 |
| Audio | can you guys help me? | 00:52 |
| aloo_shu | glitchsj16 tomorrow, my batteries are getting low (solar), but also I am headstrong, and since I also tried borrowing the initrd from the install medium, same result, and on the other hand *could* boot w/ kernel&initrd brrowed from another linux, i fear it could indeed be an ubuntustudio bug | 00:52 |
| glitsj16 | aloo_shu: maybe this might help https://askubuntu.com/questions/551446/cant-find-lvm-root-dropped-back-to-initramfs | 00:52 |
| aloo_shu | will possibly install regular kernel next to test. link sounds relevant, thanks glitchsj16 | 00:53 |
| glitsj16 | you're welcome, I see why you would like to have things fixed asap | 00:54 |
| sirru5h | Audio, recursively? | 00:54 |
| Audio | Unfortunately... yes | 00:55 |
| Audio | I was just now able to get in a single user mode | 00:55 |
| Audio | and am trying to change usr that way | 00:55 |
| Audio | so we'll see how that goes | 00:55 |
| mojtaba | Hello, I am trying to scp a 6GB file in LAN from one computer to another one, but the problem is that, it gives me the error: "File too large." | 00:56 |
| mojtaba | Do you know what should I do? | 00:56 |
| sirru5h | Well I did the same thing by accident trying to install perl modules I thought about doing a chmod 755 then I figured that because some of the files are libraries, images, headers I went with a re-install. I was able to save /home since it was mounted on another partition. | 00:58 |
| [n0mad] | mojtaba: is your destination fat32? | 00:59 |
| mojtaba | [n0mad]: Oops | 00:59 |
| mojtaba | yes | 00:59 |
| magkneetoe | http://paste.ubuntu.com/25493571/ | 00:59 |
| mojtaba | thanks for the hint | 00:59 |
| magkneetoe | Hey guys. I do not understandother than i need gtest and gmock | 01:00 |
| Audio | The thing is I have restore points, I just need to be able to access the system enough for them to work | 01:04 |
| sirru5h | Audio, you used what timeshift or something similar? systembackup? | 01:07 |
| aloo_shu | glitsj16 well, the vgchange -ay approach doesn't work, since my initrd doesn't create the socket/run the daemon lvm wants to talk to, but this has given ,e an idea, I will try borrowing initramfs-tools scripts from another distro that has a working initrd for lvm | 01:07 |
| Audio | timeshift | 01:07 |
| glitsj16 | aloo_shu: maybe restate your issue from time to time, as people drop in someone might have the 'lightbuld' reaction to your issue | 01:09 |
| sirru5h | Audio, https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2240407 give that a read you can use a live media install timeshift and go from there | 01:10 |
| glitsj16 | Audio: You could chroot in from a live USB and at least get sudo back.. | 01:10 |
| aloo_shu | glitsj16 thanx, but I have 1 or 2 approaches to try out, and supporting so who is trying stuff at the same time, is a nuisance :) comparing kxstudio and ubuntustudio /usr/share/initram..../lvm2 scripts now | 01:11 |
| Audio | Ok I think I was able to use timeshift from terminal | 01:13 |
| Audio | though, timeshift mentioning | 01:13 |
| glitsj16 | Audio: hmm, wait.. if timeshift messed up your file permissions, can you still trust those restore points? Have you tried restoring from timeshift before this happened? | 01:13 |
| Audio | i3868 is kinda weird sine my ubuntu is x64 | 01:13 |
| glitsj16 | aloo_shu: I understand, keep going at it :) | 01:13 |
| Audio | yes glitsj16 | 01:13 |
| Audio | well, it messed up the python libraries I think | 01:14 |
| Audio | and some other ones but nothing of importance to the system | 01:14 |
| Audio | I am not that experienced in ubuntu so I just went and changed the permission to the whole folder | 01:14 |
| glitsj16 | Audio: .. python is a pretty critical part of Ubuntu, I'm not wanting to spread doom&gloom, but still.. | 01:15 |
| psychoticwarrior | chmod u=rwx,g=rw,o=r | 01:15 |
| psychoticwarrior | chmod u=rwx,g=rw,o=r <file> | 01:15 |
| Audio | well if you have an alternative to timeshift I will be grateful, the reason why I am using it, is because c++ doesn't offer | 01:16 |
| Audio | virtual environments and one foul step leaves you with | 01:16 |
| Audio | broken libraries | 01:16 |
| Audio | that cannot be mended | 01:16 |
| Audio | so... I thought creating restore points would be a good idea | 01:16 |
| glitsj16 | Audio: I just use rsync for backup/restore, the 'old' but tried and tested shell script way | 01:17 |
| Audio | does it restore system paths and the like? | 01:17 |
| glitsj16 | Audio: I follow your reasoning, nothing wrong with it | 01:17 |
| glitsj16 | Audio: yes, if you feed it the correct parameters it keeps all metadata intact | 01:18 |
| Audio | hmmm | 01:18 |
| Audio | might check it out, if this doesn't work out :) | 01:19 |
| Audio | thank you glitsj16 | 01:19 |
| Audio | I was able to restore the system now :) | 01:19 |
| glitsj16 | Audio: phjeww, nicely done :) | 01:20 |
| Audio | thank you :D | 01:20 |
| glitsj16 | scary situation to be in suddenly heh | 01:20 |
| sirru5h | Well done Audio I guess you know that your backups work | 01:21 |
| Audio | We'll see, I'll test the permissions now | 01:21 |
| psychoticwarrior | ok try chmod!! | 01:22 |
| Audio | chmod got me into this mess :p | 01:22 |
| glitsj16 | https://opensource.com/article/17/1/rsync-backup-linux might be a nice read now you've gotten over that chmod hurdle | 01:22 |
| Audio | it is glitsj16, this week has been nothing but reinstalling linux, trying to make ros and opencv play nicely, reinstalling again trying to make slam work having a mess for an output reinstalling again | 01:24 |
| Audio | :( | 01:24 |
| glitsj16 | but if timeshift works for you reliably, I suggest sticking to it | 01:24 |

| sirru5h | Audio, when I did the same thing with perl modules I just re-installed. | 01:41 |
| Audio | No that's not the problem sirru5h | 01:41 |
| Audio | I successfully restored ubuntu | 01:41 |
| Audio | it's that timeshift messes up some folder's permissions | 01:41 |
| ChetManly | I had to use the "make free space options" and repair broken packages to make the system start | 01:41 |
| Audio | so now I have to manually get them to what they were before | 01:42 |
| sirru5h | ouch .. the metadata is gone? wow not good I hope it isn't a production environment or something similar | 01:42 |
| Audio | my fear is, that this will cause some error later on, and the error message will be ambiguous enough that I won't know which permission I'll need to change | 01:43 |
| ChetManly | there is no way my ubuntu install is 75 gigs | 01:43 |
| Audio | it's not sirru5h, I am a student trying to make a git project run, and I have enough time, and have done it once previously but man is ubuntu unforgivable | 01:44 |

| sirru5h_ | Audio, I am sure that with a bit of modification you can apply it towards /usr | 02:18 |

| Bustin | Hello, on Ubuntu 17.04, newer user to linux. I installed Sublime text, and every time it opens, even after purging / uninstalling the application, it's default opening "/run/user/1000/gvfs/sftp" - I was using sublime to open files which I was connected via sftp to edit, but am not sure why it's opening an empty file in named "sftp" in that location. Any help is appreciated | 02:43 |
| Bustin | to add, even if I type in "sublime-text" in the panel search for applications, I see the sublime text icon, with the path stated previously. | 02:46 |

| theSanDiegoKid | Does anyone know how I can monitor what devices are connected to my network? Just installed nmap but seem to view any devices. | 06:15 |
| kundarsa | theSanDiegoKid, is your nix box acting as a router? or a device on the network? | 06:26 |
| kundarsa | google gave me this result https://www.dynacont.net/documentation/linux/network_monitoring/ i have used iftop before, it's small and gave me the info i wanted | 06:27 |
| ghostnik11 | so i fixed my bootloader following these instructions from this site: http://www.jfwhome.com/2016/01/04/latest-steps-to-install-ubuntu-on-the-asus-t100ta/ but when i boot, i dont see grub asking me to select ubuntu. i have to then put in live disk and then hit c and run commands to boot ubuntu | 06:27 |
| kundarsa | ghostnik11, what is pc manufactor/brand? | 06:28 |
| ghostnik11 | kundarsa: its a asus transformer book t100taf 2 in 1 pc | 06:28 |
| kundarsa | ghostnik11, more then 1` hd? | 06:28 |
| kundarsa | ghostnik11, i worry it is trying to boot off another device | 06:29 |
| kundarsa | ghostnik11, a risk of that at all? | 06:29 |
| kundarsa | ghostnik11, asus is esc key i think to select device from list during boot proces | 06:29 |
| ghostnik11 | kundarsa: no i erased it earlier for a clean install of ubuntu 15.10 | 06:29 |
| kundarsa | ghostnik11, sometimes when i do grub-install i put /dev/sda1 when i need to do /dev/sda | 06:30 |
| kundarsa | ghostnik11, to get the boot menu it's pretty much just grub-install /dev/disk follow by grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 06:31 |
| ghostnik11 | kundarsa: following the instructions from that site it says to do: sudo apt-get install grub-efi-ia32 | 06:31 |
| kundarsa | ghostnik11, sorry! i was talking about apt install grub-pc | 06:31 |
| kundarsa | can you access the computer now? | 06:32 |
| ghostnik11 | kundarsa: won't what will apt install grub-pc do? | 06:32 |
| kundarsa | ghostnik11, grub-pc is for master boot record | 06:32 |
| kundarsa | ghostnik11, efi is for signed bootloader | 06:32 |
| kundarsa | ghostnik11, if you go into your bios and set it to legacy (old) style OS for the bootloader that is for mbr, not uefi stuff | 06:33 |
| kundarsa | ghostnik11, i havnt done the uefi. i have been avoiding it. i should start doing it prolly.... | 06:33 |
| kundarsa | ghostnik11, can you access the computer with live usb stick? | 06:33 |
| ghostnik11 | kundarsa: right now i can't b/c the battery is low so i have to let it charge then use it b/c for some reason the computer doesn't see that its charging well it sees it when its in use but doesn't charge it. shows signal but doesn't and yes i can access it via live stick but i don't want to keep having to do that. just want to turn it on and see grub with ubuntu | 06:34 |
| kundarsa | ghostnik11, i understand. i do recomend booting live distro and checking the /boot drive for /grub/grub.cfg file | 06:35 |
| kundarsa | if that file is not there install grub with grub-install /dev/disk | 06:35 |
| kundarsa | and then run grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 06:36 |
| kundarsa | did you make a dedicated /boot partition? or is it a subfolder on root / ? | 06:36 |
| kundarsa | i dont think ubuntu will install grub onto the disk and make the configure file with just apt install grub | 06:37 |
| kundarsa | sorry :\ | 06:37 |
| EriC^^ | ghostnik11: what's the problem? | 06:37 |
| kundarsa | ghostnik11, installed ubuntu but has no grub | 06:38 |
| EriC^^ | ghostnik11: did you follow the guide yesterday? | 06:38 |
| kundarsa | err eric, :P | 06:38 |
| ghostnik11 | kundarsa: i did make a dedicated partition on /dev/mmcblk0p2 | 06:38 |
| kundarsa | he linked the guide he used above, i didnt dig thought it to much | 06:38 |
| ghostnik11 | EriC^^: i did follow the directions but every time i boot it never shows me grub just takes me the bios | 06:38 |
| kundarsa | ghostnik11, then you will need to mount that if fstab does not have it as auto mount (when you go to run grub-mkinstall) | 06:39 |
| EriC^^ | ghostnik11: did you install grub-efi-ia32 ? | 06:39 |
| ghostnik11 | EriC^^: yeah and did the update grub and edits | 06:39 |
| EriC^^ | ghostnik11: ok boot from grub as yesterday and tell me when you've booted | 06:39 |
| kundarsa | ooo, this thing is a tablet..... intel cpu? | 06:40 |
| ghostnik11 | EriC^^: i can't b/c it needs to charge it. when its in use it sees that its plugged in but doesn't charge even though the indcator comes up and also the amber light shows thats it plugged in | 06:40 |
| kundarsa | id behalf tempted to run uboot :P | 06:40 |
| ghostnik11 | kundarsa: whats uboot | 06:41 |
| kundarsa | ghostnik11, something more complicated | 06:41 |
| EriC^^ | ghostnik11: it should power on if it's plugged in, even without a battery | 06:41 |
| ghostnik11 | EriC^^: its weird it charges when its shutdown only and won't charge while in use. it started on windows thats why i got rid of it thinking that would solve the problem but even in ubuntu it happens. i ordered a new charger for it but won't come till monday | 06:42 |
| ghostnik11 | EriC^^: it powers on but will still lose power | 06:42 |
| ghostnik11 | EriC^^: i think it had something to do with the drivers in windows that controlled the batteries | 06:43 |
| kundarsa | this asus is an in order cpu, bah | 06:44 |
| ghostnik11 | kundarsa: it was a gift from my dad. i told him no windows but he doesn't understand so i have to use what i have. in reality it could have been a great product if it wasn't so closed down with uefi and windows | 06:45 |
| kundarsa | hey all, i am trying to add an exsisting btrfs storage volume to lxd but when i go lxc create it looks like it wants to erase my containers :\ https://pastebin.com/Xrp7iuRr | 06:45 |
| kundarsa | ghostnik11, looks cool all the same, but i would hazard a guess with a multimeter that the new ac brick may solv your power issue | 06:46 |
| kundarsa | ghostnik11, if it doesn't you may have to replace the first little pcb right at the power connector for the notebook :( | 06:46 |
| ghostnik11 | kundarsa: wait what was the first thing u said | 06:46 |
| kundarsa | ghostnik11, or perhaps the battery pms/bms board, either or hopefully the ac bricks fixes your issue | 06:47 |
| ghostnik11 | kundarsa: what is an ac brick? you mean like a new charger? | 06:47 |
| kundarsa | ghostnik11, the part where grub-install /dev/disk ? | 06:47 |
| kundarsa | ghostnik11,, ac brick / charger, same diff to me sorry | 06:47 |
| kundarsa | ghostnik11, some people even call them wall wort's | 06:48 |
| ghostnik11 | kundarsa: okay, i am going use that one on my friends | 06:48 |
| kundarsa | ghostnik11, since they look like a wort growth on your wall | 06:48 |
| ghostnik11 | kundarsa: yeah so i did the grub-install /dev/mmcblk0p2 | 06:49 |
| kundarsa | ghostnik11, when your power is all set, you can boot to the liveUSB stick and then change to your installed ubuntu OS on the hard drive to repair it | 06:49 |
| kundarsa | ghostnik11, i would check for file /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 06:50 |
| ghostnik11 | kundarsa: yeah i just want to figure out what i am doing wrong: in instruction i put the line: intel_idle.max_cstate=0 | 06:50 |
| kundarsa | ghostnik11, you can ls /boot as well to make sure lost+found is there to see if its mounted | 06:50 |
| kundarsa | ghostnik11, or mount | grep boot | 06:51 |
| kundarsa | ghostnik11, was the file theire ghostnik11? | 06:51 |
| kundarsa | ghostnik11, to edit it. or did you make a new one? | 06:51 |
| ghostnik11 | kundarsa: no it was there and i did the edit from the terminal window | 06:52 |
| kundarsa | ghostnik11, you may want to write a note to youself to do that intel_idle part again in the /etc/grub.d folder of the computer to make sure that change saves through updates | 06:52 |
| kundarsa | ghostnik11, ok if the file was their your good then | 06:52 |
| kundarsa | ghostnik11, and not having that file wont stop grub | 06:53 |
| ghostnik11 | kundarsa: thats the only part i think i might have messed up was maybe the editing part. wait i was suppose to do that in the /etc/grub.d | 06:53 |
| kundarsa | ghostnik11, the current way to keep that change is todo it in /etc/grub.d | 06:53 |
| kundarsa | ghostnik11, or it will disappear after some updates of the computer | 06:53 |
| ghostnik11 | kundarsa: okay i am making a note of that now so when i wake up and hopefully its like 60% charged i can apply all that you have told me | 06:54 |
| kundarsa | ghostnik11, i dont know your computer and dont know if mmcblk0p2 is your bios's first boot device | 06:54 |
| kundarsa | ghostnik11, i wouldnt worry about that /etc/grub.d untill you get your computer booting | 06:55 |
| ghostnik11 | kundarsa: well mmcblk0p2 is where the actually partition is, its where root is | 06:56 |
| ghostnik11 | usually i think its something like this: (hd1,gpt2) then root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 | 06:57 |
| kundarsa | ya but i am not doing uefi stuff yet | 06:58 |
| kundarsa | so i install brug onto /dev/sda and then boot into /dev/sda1 | 06:58 |
| kundarsa | grub is installed onto my disk, not my partition | 06:58 |
| kundarsa | s/brug/grub | 06:58 |

| ikonia | akik: did you get anywhere with the cloud image, I read your last comment, it seems an odd config to release by default | 07:47 |
| akik | ikonia: well actually i don't use ubuntu on azure but centos. i just provisioned that image to take a look at the cloud-init config that they have | 07:53 |
| akik | so i provisioned that ubuntu server 16.04 image just for test | 07:55 |
| ikonia | akik: maybe interesting (if you have time / enough interest) to raise a bug to canonical about it, it seems a very odd config to release as default | 07:55 |
| akik | ikonia: sure i can do that but in which project, cloud-init? | 07:56 |
| akik | because it's just the configuration of cloud-init which creates that sudo config | 07:57 |
| ikonia | akik: a good question | 07:57 |
| ikonia | are you sure it's cloud-init creating that, and it's not just part of the default image | 07:58 |
| ikonia | cloud-init is normally for user-data driven config, I don't class sudo as that | 07:58 |
| akik | ikonia: you can see my question about it here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/linux/using-cloud-init | 07:59 |
| ikonia | interesting so it is being passed in as a user-data option | 08:00 |
| ikonia | that seems very "bad" to me | 08:00 |
| akik | ikonia: i can understand why they would add it; convenience | 08:02 |
| ikonia | akik: lazy != good though | 08:04 |
| ikonia | especially as default | 08:05 |
| akik | ikonia: i'll browse the cloud-init bugs. there has to be some discussion somewhere about it | 08:08 |

| luc4 | Hello! Anyone who knows why installing libicu-dev:i386 it is mandatory to remove libicu-dev? | 10:51 |

| luc4 | brainwash: isn't it possible to install libs for multiple archs at the same time? | 10:56 |

| detly | I'm looking for a file search program with the power of GNU find (eg. can search filename patters, dates, etc.) but that allows me to review and delete files as well. GUI or CLI I don't care. | 10:57 |

| acetakwas | I have just installed kernel 4.13, and wifi no longer works | 11:44 |
| acetakwas | I thought this was a stable version | 11:45 |
| ducasse | acetakwas: where did you get 4.13? | 11:45 |
| acetakwas | It's a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04 (I did this yesterday), and after learning about kernels. I checked what I had it was 4.4 | 11:46 |
| acetakwas | So I installed 4.13 mainline build | 11:46 |
| ducasse | those are unsupported | 11:46 |
| acetakwas | ducasse: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.13/ | 11:46 |
| ducasse | yes, i know where they are. still unsupported. | 11:49 |
| acetakwas | ducasse: How do you mean unsupported? How do I get my wifi working again? | 11:51 |
| ducasse | !mainline | 11:51 |
| ubottu | The 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/MainlineBuilds | 11:51 |
| acetakwas | Can I uninstall it? | 11:51 |
| acetakwas | What version of the kernel should I be using? | 11:52 |
| ducasse | yes, just purge the packages and use the kernel that comes with your release. | 11:52 |
| acetakwas | ducasse: I'd appreciate if you could help with instructions to do that. | 11:54 |
| acetakwas | I really dont want to mess things up further. | 11:54 |
| ducasse | look at the .deb files you downloaded - everything up to the _ is the package name. just do 'sudo apt purge linux-headers-4.13.0-041300 linux-headers-4.13.0-041300-generic <etc>' | 11:58 |
| renatoneto | does someone know which shutdown script containts the "stopping raise network interfaces"? | 12:08 |
| renatoneto | i noticed that when I use systemctl reboot --force, it doesn't hang | 12:26 |
| === dreamon_ is now known as dreamon | ||
| tomreyn | renatoneto: most likely since that ignores failing shutdown jobs. what's your use case for switching back to the old NIC naming scheme? | 12:57 |
| tomreyn | if it's just "i'm used to those old names" then you should probably adapt to the 'new' defaults. if you have scripts which dpeend on them then you should probably seek a newer version or adapt them yourself. | 12:58 |
| tomreyn | there are very few situations where you actually depend on the previous naming scheme. | 12:59 |

| farhad2161 | ducasse: there is no vivid in http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu | 13:27 |
| MonkeyDust | farhad2161 that's why it has been suggested, that a fresh install is faster and easier | 13:31 |

| farhad2161 | ducasse: I was in my cave :D | 13:33 |
| ducasse | farhad2161: riiight. if the mirror you're using now has vivid packages, then get what's needed from there, then update sources.list to old-releases and wily and upgrade. | 13:34 |

| MonkeyDust | hi lotuspsychje !! | 15:24 |
| lotuspsychje | !hwe | metaphysician can this help? | 15:26 |
| ubottu | metaphysician can this help?: The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack | 15:26 |
| metaphysician | lotuspsychje: HWE kernels do not have the corresponding linux-libc-dev package. This package provides headers from the Linux kernel. These headers are used by the installed headers for GNU glibc and other system libraries. | 15:28 |
| ioria | metaphysician, https://askubuntu.com/questions/888614/removing-left-over-kernel-packages-from-previous-kernel-after-hwe-upgrade | 15:29 |
| ioria | metaphysician, never really used it, but i guess they are 'c related' not 'kern related' | 15:32 |
| metaphysician | ioria: it says it should stay the same, but that's not correct advise, because it comes from linux source package. | 15:33 |
| ioria | metaphysician, sy, what comes with the source pkg ? | 15:34 |
| metaphysician | ioria: linux-libc-dev comes from src:linux | 15:35 |
| ioria | metaphysician, yes, true | 15:36 |
| metaphysician | ioria: so I expected a linux-libc-dev-hwe-16.04 | 15:36 |

| mjrosenb | I'm trying to build a kernel from source following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel , but apt-get sourve linux-image-4.10.0-33-generic fails with... | 18:33 |
| mjrosenb | Picking 'linux' as source package instead of 'linux-image-4.10.0-33-generic' | 18:34 |
| mjrosenb | E: Unable to find a source package for linux | 18:34 |

| ducasse | mjrosenb: you need to enable the source repos | 18:37 |
| mjrosenb | ducasse: I already did that. | 18:37 |
| ioria | mjrosenb, apt-cache policy linux-source-4.10.0 | 18:37 |
| mjrosenb | ioria: and will that pull in the build-deps that it mentions a few lines later? | 18:37 |
| tgm4883 | JimmyNeutron: I had it working once, IIRC only in FF and it broke with later versions of FF (actually it complains about the version of FF). IIRC I also still had to dial in for audio, but I did get video and the rest of the stuff | 18:39 |
| ioria | mjrosenb, idk for sure, sy | 18:39 |
| tgm4883 | Actually, the FF thing was probably just the autolaunching of the java applet since chrome doesn't support that | 18:39 |
| JimmyNeutron | tgm4883: Thanks! Mine was working too but broke recently and not sure why or after some updates. | 18:39 |
| ducasse | mjrosenb: you need to install build deps in addition | 18:40 |
| tgm4883 | I just use webex on my phone now | 18:40 |
| JimmyNeutron | tgm4883: I'm doing some debugging now and try and poinpoint the cause; Ubuntu 16.04.3 32bit works but 64bit doesn't and trying to narrow down the cause to either Firefox, Java, or one of the 32bit packages | 18:41 |
| mjrosenb | ducasse: ok, and how do I do that? the command for installing the source in that document was out of date, and the command for installing the build-deps similarly fails. | 18:41 |

| pennTeller | Hi guys I've been struggling to find an easy way to extract all image attachments from my ubuntu 14.04 server mailbox. Does anybody know of a script of sorts or a method that works reliably? Thank you | 18:51 |
| silvian | pennTeller: in what way do you want them extracted... per email basis as archives? or as a system backup of your mail server. The entire attachments? | 18:56 |
| ioria | !info mpack | 18:57 |
| ubottu | mpack (source: mpack): tools for encoding/decoding MIME messages. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.6-8.1 (zesty), package size 34 kB, installed size 93 kB | 18:57 |
| pennTeller | silvian, I would like to basically extract all images from my mailutils mailbox and put them individually in a folder somewhere | 18:57 |
| pennTeller | os inside folder we would have: iamge001.jpg image002.jpg etc | 18:57 |
| pavlos | pennTeller: there is a pkg called mpack | 18:58 |
| pennTeller | pavlos, I thought that package only worked with a different kind of mailbox | 18:58 |
| silvian | pennTeller: ok so i would imagine simple grep and cp a few joint commands would do it. | 18:58 |
| edge226 | oerheks: I don't remember but the install is busted due to the kodi ppi screwing the updates and being borked. | 18:59 |
| pavlos | pennTeller: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/53047/periodically-download-attachments-from-mail-box | 18:59 |
| pennTeller | in my case mail is located in /var/mail/{user} | 18:59 |
| pavlos | pennTeller: might be of help | 18:59 |
| silvian | pennTeller: so like find -type f | grep "*.jpg" | 18:59 |
| edge226 | I don't know why things gotta be so hard on Ubuntu. | 18:59 |
| silvian | then use the copy command on the output of that | 18:59 |
| pennTeller | silvian, however email attachments come as base64 "blobs" | 18:59 |
| silvian | where you need to copy them to | 18:59 |
| pennTeller | so I don't think I can just grep for jpg string | 18:59 |
| silvian | agh | 19:00 |
| silvian | yeah of course | 19:00 |
| === jackNemrod_ is now known as jackNemrod | ||
| pennTeller | silvian, yeah its been tough trying to get this to work | 19:00 |
| silvian | pennTeller: ok the way i would do it then if i have enough space | 19:01 |
| silvian | is first create a folder and copy everything to that folder | 19:01 |
| silvian | then we want to run base64 decode on all the files | 19:01 |
| silvian | in that backup folder | 19:01 |
| oerheks | edge226, oh, kodi ppa.. remove that and see if that fixes the mount. | 19:01 |
| silvian | only then you can use find with grep and then exec cp command to finally copy only the jpg | 19:01 |
| silvian | igonoring of course like word .doc or .pdf attachments | 19:02 |
| silvian | that have been base64 decoded | 19:02 |
| silvian | leaving he originals untouched of course. | 19:02 |
| silvian | that kinda make sense? | 19:02 |
| pennTeller | yes it does! | 19:02 |
| edge226 | oerheks: well no... I want a newer Kodi. I don't want to old garbage from the repo. | 19:02 |
| silvian | and once you're don you can remove that folder | 19:02 |
| pennTeller | silvian, thanks a lot man, that seems like it will work | 19:02 |
| pennTeller | I will try it and report back | 19:02 |
| edge226 | want the* | 19:02 |
| === sins-_x is now known as sins- | ||
| silvian | let me find you some example snippets that would work base64 --decode | 19:03 |
| silvian | will do that | 19:03 |
| silvian | you can pipe your files into it | 19:04 |
| silvian | one at a time | 19:04 |
| oerheks | edge226, and 'i don't remember' does not help finding a solution, good luck! | 19:04 |
| pennTeller | silvian, ok | 19:04 |
| oerheks | seriously, weekend support sucks. | 19:04 |
| === jackNemrod_ is now known as jackNemrod | ||
| silvian | pennTeller: good luck man... let us know how it goes :) | 19:13 |
| pennTeller | silvian, thanks guys working on it as we speak and looking good, will report back very soon hopefully | 19:13 |
| ghost291 | Hi. by default on ubuntu server 16.04 LTS do I need to install iptables-persistant in order to use normally iptables firewall ? or default iptables is enough ? | 19:17 |
| ioria | !info iptables-persistant xenial | 19:19 |
| ubottu | Package iptables-persistant does not exist in xenial | 19:19 |
| pavlos | pkg name is iptables-persistent | 19:20 |
| ioria | lol | 19:20 |

| ubottu | iptables-persistent (source: iptables-persistent): boot-time loader for netfilter rules, iptables plugin. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.4 (xenial), package size 6 kB, installed size 42 kB | 19:20 |
| ghost291 | yes like pavlos said, so it doesn't need to be installed | 19:20 |
| ioria | ghost291, you can use a script at boot | 19:21 |
| B105PH3RE | how do I remove "Monitor of Built-In Analog Stereo" as a input device | 19:21 |
| ghost291 | ioria, so either script either persistent, right ? | 19:22 |
| ioria | yep | 19:22 |

| amirite | i just installed ubuntu on my macbook; running into a problem where bluetooth audio is extremely choppy. i can't find any insight on stackoverflow, google or otherwise | 19:36 |

| pennTeller | amirite, is this ubuntu 16.04 you are using? | 19:39 |
| amirite | 17 | 19:39 |
| amirite | do you recall the fix? might be the same issue | 19:39 |
| pennTeller | amirite, im trying to find it for you | 19:40 |
| pennTeller | but if I remember correctly it involved installing bluez | 19:40 |
| amirite | alright, another related question -- how can i determine what hardware device bluetooth belongs to? lspci doesn't exactly say "bluetooth" | 19:41 |
| pennTeller | I think this was it | 19:42 |
| pennTeller | https://askubuntu.com/questions/475987/a2dp-on-pulseaudio-terrible-choppy-skipping-audio | 19:42 |
| pennTeller | dmesg | grep -i blue | 19:43 |
| pennTeller | should give you something like: Device 005: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode) | 19:43 |

| Kanov | Is there some way to download all files from links such as http://example.com/blabla/0001.png where *.png runs from 0001 to 00450, through a browser? | 20:07 |
| EriC^^ | Kanov: you could do it with wget if you wanted | 20:09 |
| Kanov | EriC^^: its not too simple unfortunately. i must be logged onto the site to download any file, and though this may be easily done with wget/curl by injecting in the cookies file, that does not work either since in order to get the files, you must click a kind of button beforehand and for that you need cookies. and i don't think it's possible to inject cookies into wget/curl too easily | 20:10 |
| Kanov | cache* | 20:10 |
| Kanov | i meant you can't inject cache into wget | 20:11 |
| EriC^^ | Kanov: hmm, you could write a bot in sikulix that does it for you, it'd be pretty slow though, as if you were manually doing it | 20:12 |
| EriC^^ | maybe there's an easier way, hang on in case anyone knows | 20:13 |

| gunix | guys, why don't i see normal ubuntu on this page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArtfulAardvark/Beta1/ | 21:20 |
| gunix | ? | 21:20 |
| gunix | also, there is no link to the normal ubuntu on the last article from fridge: http://fridge.ubuntu.com/ | 21:21 |
| pavlos | gunix: daily builds at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/HEADER.html | 21:28 |
| adrian_1908 | Does have a point though in that one would expect vanilla Ubuntu on those pages, no? | 21:29 |
| demophobia | Is the principle, "Don't upgrade unless you have to" still true for Ubuntu? | 21:34 |
| gunix | demophobia: if you are on LTS, you should do all security upgrades ASAP and all other upgrades when you want them. "don't upgrade unless you have to" usually applies to production servers that don't have a proper testing environment | 21:35 |
| gunix | demophobia: upgrades usually fix broken code, nothing more. so if you are on a testing release, you want them as soon as possible. if you are on stable, i wouldn't worry that much ... well i don't consider ubuntu desktop a really stable distro, more of a testing one. they have lots of new stuff :D | 21:36 |
| gunix | once per week should be enough | 21:37 |

| aloo_shu | http://paste.ubuntu.com/25500811/ | 21:56 |
| adrian_1908 | demophobia: What do you want the Super key to do? Have you tried mapping keyboard shortcuts to actions? | 21:57 |
| demophobia | adrian_1908: the default shortcuts listed in lubuntu documentation are not working. i would also expect the super key to open the lower left menu as in Windows | 21:59 |
| demophobia | (e.g. super + 2 to switch to second virtual desktop isn't working -- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Keyboard#Keyboard_shortcuts ) | 22:00 |
| adrian_1908 | demophobia: Ah, I see. I'm not familiar with LXDE. On my Desktop Super does nothing, and isn't intended to. Have you verified that the keys are bound in the control panel/settings (if such a thing exists)? | 22:01 |
| psychoticwarrior | hye whats up | 22:07 |
| psychoticwarrior | hey | 22:07 |
| aloo_shu | ubuntu 16.04.3 64bit install (ubuntustudio, lowlatency kernel), cpu scaling is not available (AMD Athlon(tm) X2 Dual-Core QL-65). Propietary microcode is shown as installed. cpuscaling worked fine in kxstudio, an ubuntu 14 spinoff. what could i try installing to pull the appropiate cpu driver? - http://paste.ubuntu.com/25500811/ | 22:07 |
| adrian_1908 | aloo_shu: How do you determine that scaling isn't available, and what Ubuntu version are you using? | 22:09 |
| demophobia | adrian_1908: i don't see where to check key bindings. i don't have gnome control center like https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Keybindings says | 22:09 |
| adrian_1908 | demophobia: Looks like LXDE is somewhat sparse in this regard. Have you looked at ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml (if that exists)? | 22:11 |
| aloo_shu | adrian_1908 I determine version by install medium/iso , and the fact that scaling isn't available by the fact that cadence tool greys it out, supported by lsmod, and the fact that /proc/cpu only tab completes to ../cpuinfo . did you look at the paste? | 22:12 |
| aloo_shu | adrian_1908 power management section of desktop (xfce4) setting doesn't offer scaling, neither | 22:13 |
| demophobia | adrian_1908: doesn't ~/ mean /home/ ? i can't access /home/.config/openbox | 22:13 |
| demophobia | or /.config/openbox | 22:13 |
| demophobia | nvm fonud it | 22:14 |
| geirha | no, ~ is "$HOME"; your homedir | 22:14 |
| demophobia | /home/accountname yeah | 22:14 |
| demophobia | adrian_1908: opening it in leafpad, it says "<!-- Do not edit this file, it will be overwritten on install. | 22:14 |
| demophobia | Copy the file to $HOME/.config/openbox/ instead. -->" | 22:14 |
| adrian_1908 | demophobia: aye, maybe you should do that then. I have no idea if you can add the shortcut there (if it's in fact missing), but it seems like a sensible thing to try. | 22:16 |
| adrian_1908 | (by do that, i mean, copy it and work with the copy; it'll probably that precedence over the original on startup) | 22:16 |
| demophobia | $HOME means /home/ ? | 22:16 |
| adrian_1908 | $HOME is /home/username/ | 22:17 |
| demophobia | but that's already where the file is located! ... | 22:17 |
| demophobia | the file saying not to edit it but rather copy it to that location ... | 22:17 |
| geirha | it's probably a copy of the file that's in the place where you shouldn't edit it ^^ :) | 22:18 |
| aloo_shu | adrian_1908 will you be looking into the cpufreq thing later, or should I restate rather? take your time, just want to know | 22:18 |
| adrian_1908 | demophobia: ah right, I didn't even check. I assumed it was subdirectory thereof. Then just make a backup of the original and edit the file in place :) | 22:18 |
| demophobia | some (all?) super key shortcuts listed in this document are in fact working, so good that it's detecting the key ... | 22:18 |
| demophobia | (confirmed via xev) | 22:18 |
| adrian_1908 | aloo_shu: too busy helping demophobia now, sorry. For me CPU scaling implies Clockrate adjustment, and I'd use something like `watch 'lscpu | grep MHz` to determine if that happens. You probably mean some thing other than I assumed. | 22:20 |
| adrian_1908 | demophobia: Is there a binding for plain "SUPER", the one you found lacking? | 22:20 |
| adrian_1908 | demophobia: you'll of course also have to figure out what command opens the startmenu, if that can invoked directly. | 22:23 |
| ghostnik11 | okay i am back and i want to figure out how i can get grub to boot without using the live cd everytime. here are the instructions i have followed: http://www.jfwhome.com/2016/01/04/latest-steps-to-install-ubuntu-on-the-asus-t100ta/ | 22:27 |
| adrian_1908 | demophobia: p.s. could also be that plain Super (without another associated key) cannot be bound to an action. | 22:27 |
| ghostnik11 | it tells me to install the grub-efi-ia32 which i have done and then do a sudo apt-get update | 22:28 |
| adrian_1908 | demophobia: Examples: http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Actions#ShowMenu | 22:28 |
| demophobia | Regarding sylpheed, "Google will continue to block sign-in attempts from the app you're using because it has known security problems or is out of date. You can continue to use this app by allowing access to less secure apps, but this may leave your account vulnerable." Is Google wrong? Is sylpheed (lubuntu's email client) risky? | 22:28 |
| aloo_shu | adrian_1908 away for a minute due to log out and in of seesion | 22:28 |
| ghostnik11 | after i tell it to install grub-efi-ia32 but when i restart it doesn't go straight to grub just brings me back to bios screen | 22:28 |
| ghostnik11 | should i check for the file: /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 22:29 |
| demophobia | adrian_1908: https://askubuntu.com/questions/79557/bind-the-windows-key-to-lubuntu-start-menu suggests i could change the alt+f1 binding to 'Super_L' instead | 22:30 |
| adrian_1908 | demophobia: Cool, that looks like an option. Tried it? | 22:31 |
| demophobia | well, i'm worried to change it: why is alt+f1 the default? using the windows key seems too obvious a choice to not have it be the default, so i wonder if there is a good reason it isn't already | 22:32 |
| demophobia | (i mean, since the windows key has always opened the start menu in windows) | 22:32 |
| ghostnik11 | can anyone tell me how to have grub appear after bios | 22:34 |
| adrian_1908 | Your choice. I used SUPER to resize windows for instance. The default on my Desktop is ALT, but ALT+Mouse is also a combination used in some applications, so the default conflicted :) | 22:34 |
| adrian_1908 | ghostnik11: not very knowledgeable about these things, but if you don't reach Grub, then isn't it doubtful that Grub configuration is the cause? | 22:36 |
| adrian_1908 | ghostnik11: or do you mean, you see Grub but want to "stop" it from booting? That's usually SHIFT or ESC. | 22:37 |
| ghostnik11 | adrian_1908, yeah but i followed the steps that said how to fix the bootloader and it said once i restart that i should go pass asus screen and see grub but i don't it just enters my bios setup | 22:38 |
| demophobia | adrian_1908: 'k thanks | 22:39 |
| adrian_1908 | ghostnik11: So item #6 is where you had no success, right? | 22:42 |
| ghostnik11 | yeah | 22:42 |
| ghostnik11 | adrian_1908, yeah | 22:42 |
| demophobia | is Google wrong to declare sylpheed unsecure and consequently block access? | 22:43 |
| adrian_1908 | ghostnik11: Hmm no idea man, I looked at it but frankly that's beyond my skill level. | 22:43 |
| ghostnik11 | adrian_1908, i can show you my lines for that grub and you can tell me if i did something wrong | 22:43 |
| adrian_1908 | ghostnik11: definitely worth a shot, just create a paste (or screenshot) and link it here. Maybe others have a look too. | 22:44 |
| ghostnik11 | adrian_1908, i will be back i just got a chance to install all the updates since it finally has some charge | 22:44 |
| ghostnik11 | adrian_1908, okay one sec | 22:44 |
| ghostnik11 | adrian_1908, https://pastebin.com/P2Ligxqc | 22:46 |
| adrian_1908 | ghostnik11: line #11 should be GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="intel_idle.max_cstate=0 quiet splash" | 22:47 |
| adrian_1908 | ghostnik11: btw, I'm not sure I understand, but how do you edit your Grub if you can't boot? If you use the LIVE-USB, wouldn't that leave your installation on disk untouched? | 22:48 |
| gunix | ubuntu desktop 16.04 runs on kernel 4.4? | 22:49 |
| adrian_1908 | ghostnik11: p.s. remember to `sudo update-grub` after any edits ;) | 22:49 |
| ghostnik11 | adrian_1908, i use the installation cd and then hit c and enter command then tell that grub where my ubuntu partition is and then tell it too boot | 22:50 |
| adrian_1908 | gunix: Afaik yes. | 22:50 |
| adrian_1908 | ghostnik11: Ah ok, I think I understand. Never did that. | 22:50 |
| ghostnik11 | adrian_1908, this is the new one: https://pastebin.com/mtgdiifj | 22:53 |
| ghostnik11 | adrian_1908, is that correct? | 22:54 |
| adrian_1908 | ghostnik11: looks good now. | 22:55 |
| ghostnik11 | adrian_1908, will restart | 22:55 |
| Bashing-om | ghostnik11: Only as a thought : " GRUB_TIMEOUT=10 : . 10 seconds is a long time to wait . | 22:55 |
| ghostnik11 | Bashing-om, wait does that mean i have to wait 10 secs to see grub | 22:55 |
| adrian_1908 | ghostnik11: The stuff in section #4 looks far trickier to get right imo, I hope you got that right. | 22:55 |
| adrian_1908 | ghostnik11: No, it means 10 seconds waiting in the menu. But that's cosmetics, you can fix it afterwards. | 22:56 |
| ghostnik11 | adrian_1908, okay, i will restart now | 22:56 |
| adrian_1908 | I use 2 seconds, but better to long than too short, since you need time to enter the menu if something goes awry. | 22:56 |
| Bashing-om | ghostnik11: No, the 10 seconds is the countdown to boot the default . | 22:56 |
| ghostnik11 | adrian_1908, well the 4th step is the one that because it took me so long is the one thats easy now | 22:57 |
| ghostnik11 | adrian_1908, will be back one sec | 22:57 |
| adrian_1908 | good luck! | 22:57 |
| ghostnik11 | adrian_1908, okay now it just boots straight into ubuntu but i don't get a chance to see grub!! thanks for the help. that means i don't need the live cd any more but i still can't see grub but at least i boot straight to ubunut | 23:05 |
| adrian_1908 | ghostnik11: Maybe try `GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=false` but I have it set to true like you and for me it appears. But yeah, congrats on the progress. | 23:07 |
| ghostnik11 | adrian_1908, will try that | 23:08 |
| adrian_1908 | ghostnik11: I'm pretty sure you can comment out (or remove) the line `GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0` btw, it's no longer used (though still forgotten in there). | 23:08 |
| adrian_1908 | And `sudo update-grub` as always ;) | 23:08 |
| aloo_shu | adrian_1908 my issue got solved (krytarik@#ubuntustudio) , by installing cpufrequtils (gave me a cli tool to set governor) and a cpufreq applet for my desktop. I was wrong assuming there should be a /proc/somethingeasy interface for cpu scaling, according to cpufreq-set man page, it's /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu[core number]/cpufreq/scaling_set_speed . and since I just noticed in passing: the straight to ubuntu boot is annoying a lot of people, not to say get | 23:10 |
| adrian_1908 | aloo_shu: Cool man, glad you managed to solve it in the end! | 23:11 |
| ghostnik11 | hey so it says in software that i have a microprocesor driver that proprietery, i don't know what to do. here is an imagebin: https://imagebin.ca/v/3ZqMwdNYb0hp | 23:11 |
| adrian_1908 | ghostnik11: yes, that's normal. Intel firmware is close source, so Ubuntu cannot provide it for you, but gets you the binaries from Intel instead. Nothing needs to be done :) | 23:12 |
| adrian_1908 | *closed source | 23:13 |
| aloo_shu | good you all (ghostnik11, adrian_1908) reminded me to edit my grub files while things are still working... I happen to want to multi-boot various linuxes, and the fact that always the latest install tries to take over grub, is annoying. Is my scenario so difficult to forsee? We all found it uncool how Windoze used to overwrite present bootloaders, didn't we? | 23:16 |
| psychoticwarrior | grub-install <dev> | 23:19 |
| psychoticwarrior | update-grub | 23:19 |
| ghostnik11 | adrian_1908, hey that did the trick also. thanks bro for all your help | 23:19 |
| psychoticwarrior | update-initramfs -u | 23:19 |
| adrian_1908 | np :) | 23:20 |
