[00:03] Time to find another problem to fix [00:04] he is actually problem hunting [00:04] poor soul [00:04] ... [00:05] I never hunt for problems. Seems exhausting [00:05] I go by the motto of "Don't go borrowing trouble" [00:05] how helpfull :-( [00:06] I'm answering my own question above (free linux pdf editor): Foxit Reader seems to work well for me [00:07] oerheks: I don't go around my network / lan / etc looking for problems. I will undoubtedly find them, and then have to fix them [00:07] nacc: i created an updated pastebin showing there are no corresponding files for the services systemd is reporting: https://pastebin.com/u6NAjWbG [00:07] if a problem pops up, I respond [00:08] then don't help here, xrandr .. he is just fixing his own problems, it is you that hunts for problems of others.. which is great, so don't rant like this [00:09] please [00:09] ? [00:09] now im confused [00:09] * xrandr sighs [00:09] i think he misunderstood me [00:11] cjs226: /etc/systemd is still not hte right place [00:11] cjs226: that's just where config lives [00:12] nacc: but `locate` should find ANY files matching the pattern. i don't think there are any files for the corresponding services [00:12] cjs226: have you updated the locate db? [00:13] cjs226: hrm [00:13] xrandr: yes. i did so before i ran locate [00:13] ok [00:13] cjs226: can you pb the actualy output from say `systemctl status spanning_activity@20600.service` ? [00:13] cjs226: have you tried find / -name .... ? [00:14] just incase locate missed it? [00:16] cjs226: also, i am not sure how locate deals with symbolic links [00:16] xrandr: https://pastebin.com/4AMc8u6W [00:16] cjs226: you may need to quote your regex for find [00:16] nacc: I think it just adds it to the db and spits it out. Up to the end user to do the ls -al /path/to/symlink_file [00:17] nacc: https://pastebin.com/VB9LwUub [00:18] hello , my ubuntu background has gone all black , i cant right click , and i cant see any desktop icons either , this happened after i installed https://github.com/iabem97/komorebi/ , to make my desktop looks sexier , now its ugly [00:18] nacc: updated my pb showing the find works: https://pastebin.com/4AMc8u6W [00:18] cjs226: how are you enabling/disabling the services you have been? [00:18] cjs226: I am not sure .service entries are actual files. If you currently know where they reside, can you do an `ls` on them? [00:18] I don't suppose anyone here is familiar with fopen64() in c++. Trying to fix something I downloaded and I've never really worked in Ubuntu or linux, so running into a wall lol. It's causing a termination after basic_string is called within the software. If there is a better place to ask for help also feel free to direct me there [00:19] DashBT: you want a programming channel or c++ channel [00:19] !alis | DashBT [00:19] DashBT: Alis is an IRC service to help you find channels. For help on using it, see "/msg Alis help list" or ask in #freenode. Example usage: "/msg Alis list http" [00:19] cjs226: you might ask in #systemd [00:19] nacc: i create the unit and env files; `systemctl daemon-reload`; systemctl enable $service [00:19] nacc: i have asked there...no response. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ [00:19] cjs226: probably will take patience [00:19] nacc: i create the unit and env files; `systemctl daemon-reload`; `systemctl enable $service` [00:20] nacc: fair. I will dig around there then. Thanks [00:20] cjs226: the .service files may actually be something else. Or they may be stored and running in memory [00:20] cjs226: i think you can also debug bash completion, fwiw [00:20] cjs226: maybe you can do a google search on where .service files live in Ubuntu [00:20] if they are actual files [00:21] systemd service files are in /lib/systemd/system/ssh.service, the /etc/systemd/ link point to that [00:21] cjs226: i'm eod, unfortunately, i'll be around tmrw though [00:21] nacc: thx for your help! [00:22] oerheks: if you do a 'file /lib/systemd/system/ssh.service` what is the output [00:22] cjs226: i would also try rgrep , in case the service is named difrferently than the file [00:23] because iirc only binary/executable and regular files are found by locate/file [00:23] err locate/find. [00:23] oh, i see i have no ssh installed, i paste an other one [00:25] brb - restroom [00:25] http://paste.ubuntu.com/25530991/ [00:28] oerheks: hmm, i'm at a loss then. it should be able to find it [00:32] is it an alias, spanning_activity@20600.service ? [00:33] that @ might point at beiing an alias.. cannot find good info there [00:37] the @ symbol is for special services, sockets, and other units where multiple instances can be run, see https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.unit.html#Description [00:37] the number following the @ and before the . is the "instance name" which allows you to use it using the %i variable in the unit file [00:51] cjs226: correct, now what your actual issue is still escapes me though.. when I enter "systemctl status [TAB][TAB]" bash offers me an option to display 438 possibilities.. doing a few "locate systemd | grep foo | wc -l" commands I can account for all those offered choices, they're all on disk.. that's not what you're seeing? [00:52] it's not. i'm somehow creating a number of services by mistake...but can't figure out 1) how nor 2) where their corresponding files live [00:53] i was hoping if i could find some trail on the system i could work my way backwards [00:53] and this issue doesn't at all make sense with what (little) i've learned in creating services using sytemd [00:54] hmm, I'm thinking it might be related with the way your shell is configured to deal with command history and tab completion.. anything weird in ~/.bashrc or ~/.inputrc that might affect that? [00:54] so not actually an issue with systemd itself [00:55] i wouldn't think so. let me use root's default env and see if make a diff [00:56] yes I understand what you're saying, it's not that systemd is bugfree or anything lol [00:56] same issue with root user [00:57] gotta say, i'm missing sysv init scripts at the moment. but i'm looking forward to systemd [00:57] you could rm your ~/.bash_history, close all open terminal emulators, open a new on and check if the issue persists to rule anything like that out [00:58] cjs226, what version of ubuntu are you on [00:58] 16.04 [00:58] cjs226, thats system d already [00:58] well I get your view on that, just happens that I was getting to understand Ubuntu's upstart when systemd showed up.. [00:58] agreed. i'm migrating all of our old init scripts to systemd [01:05] there's been a decent number of bug fixes in systemd since 229, have you tried a live daily of 17.10 yet? just a guessing game without logs i assume.. [01:07] i haven't. we stick with LTS releases for production [01:07] rightly so, no argument there [01:08] cjs226: LTSes don't really stabilies until .4 or .5 [01:08] stabilize [01:16] Loshki: didn't realize that... [01:25] what tool can I use to enable group policy password complexity of a windows domain on a ubuntu install? [01:25] adfs domain fwiw [01:28] cjs226: it's controversial, but I'm still at 14.04 due to bugs in 16.04 [01:35] anyone used sccm to manage installed software on ubuntu workstations? [01:36] donofrio, nobody here, only the WSL fools [01:37] oerheks, https://apaste.info/xJnN works great for me.....in production as my photo on the 1drv link shows my "daily driver" at work... [01:37] just folks wanting more control of ubuntu..... [01:38] and I see it as a good thing.... [01:38] yet to see a group policy for ubuntu, I know sounds crazy to even ask.... [01:40] ;) https://i.imgflip.com/1tlg0a.jpg [01:48] donofrio: you might be mixing 'more control of ubuntu' with 'raping linux security models'.. do you really enjoy a company that advocates "sudo: ['ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL']" is the way to go when dealing with cloud-based services? --> https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/linux/using-cloud-init [01:50] thats why i use windows 10 [01:50] :P [01:50] enjoy :p [01:52] ubuntu bash looks cool in windows 10 :P [01:53] probably does, you know how the saying goes though.. if looks could kill.. they probably will [01:55] i see [01:55] I'm unable to use linux without wsl....it's corp [01:56] glitsj16, did you tell someone about that on uservoice? [01:57] no I'm not on uservoice, feel free to share the link and the context [01:57] I'm on hexchat with OS: Linux 4.4.0-43-Microsoft life is exciting right now.... [01:57] hi all, i am preseeding an ubuntu install with hostname=machinename.stage.vm.office1.mycompany why is after the machine built just with machinename.mycompany ? anywhere else i need to set ? [01:58] well you got be realistic microsoft doesnt make linux OS but they are adapting since most of all gadgets as tvs cameras runs on linux [01:59] donofrio im on weechat on windows 10 [01:59] through ubuntu bash [01:59] so no-one has wrote or knows of a framework/tools to get adfs login's with group policy that include password policy enforcement? [02:00] Krennic, if you click on the 1drv link at the bottom of my link you can see my daily diver views.... [02:03] I just started using "Dual Monitor Tools" on win10 to allow me to assign "shift, ctrl, W" for "supersize" and now my X will me spanning the montors without me having to click and drag each time.....so cool...I made a gif https://1drv.ms/i/s!AsBlZbBf72iNnJUnUkEnBz9GP_85sQ [02:04] some linux ppl got mad when they knew that microsoft join the linux foundation that brought to and end the war and rivality between micrisift and all linux OS rivality and i think thats good i think anywant can use the OS they like personaly i like windows 10 alot but lately ive been liking or interesting in using ubuntu, opensuse and solus three interesting linux OS [02:12] if I can just figure out why after I add myself to the sudoers list with "donofrio ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/service" but then when I tried to start it it returned couldn't write /var/run/crond.pid so I dunno....I retried to get cron started using wsbash, still trying [02:13] but yah wsbash wants "ALL ALL = (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/service" seem exsessive? [02:16] Krennic, ubuntu rocks I'm 17.04 on my windows 10 corp install ;) quite neat....just need service cron start to work when I try it from a service system bash run [02:19] but i got handed something even ubuntu programs works in windows 10 through the x servers xming or vcxsrv so you can seethem is nice now even in even windows channels linux is a topic in all windows channels now like windows is now a linux member [02:19] :P === purist_ is now known as purist [02:22] Krennic, I use VcXsrv daily...... ;) just need to get pulseaudio working....lol [02:22] nice [02:23] (no pulseaudio not working in my setup yet, just talking out loud) [02:24] oh i see [02:30] hello there.. [02:30] may i please ask how to enable SSL on ubuntu's localhost? done with the steps here: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-create-a-ssl-certificate-on-apache-for-ubuntu-12-04 [02:30] but still no avail [02:36] one think doonofrio why you download hexchat on ubuntu bash and run it from vcxsrv when you can go to hexchat and download it on windows 10 [02:36] ? [02:36] because it works..... [02:36] i know [02:36] even added hunspell to make it spellcheck like it normally does [02:37] oh i see [02:37] even heckchat folks ask me that ;) [02:37] hexchat i mean [02:38] I think of the xsession as all I need, if something doesn't work I like to find out why, like cron not being started, still working on wabash to get that working I hope [02:40] the only thing i like with this microsoft parnetship with linux is from cmd, powershell you can do what your doing in bash just type bash in those and you are on linux [02:40] :P [02:41] of course i use more ubuntu bash [02:41] more ubuntu is a good thing..... [02:41] pico is not a 1:1 replacement for kernel (yet) [02:43] but i think microsoft are gonna turn more linux in the years to come since evething runs on linux cause they won in a way the war but not in the desktop area [02:43] Krennic, try a chat channel for that [02:43] but in much of the other electronics microsoft lost cause everyng runs on linux tvs cameras etc [02:44] Krennic, please take the chit chat elsewhere [02:45] bazhang i dont wait my time with linux trolls that i see in all linux distros are a few and you one of them [02:45] it's mybad sorry [02:45] Krennic, this is support only. not chat [02:46] bazahng what ever troll [02:46] wanted to know about group policy for ubuntu.....not chat channel your right. [02:46] donofrio: are you joining a ubuntu client to a windows server? [02:46] Krennic, keep it civil here please, and on topic [02:47] xrandr, see 1drv link at bottom https://apaste.info/xJnN I'm being asked to enforece password complexity requirements and guessing more will follow soon... [02:48] donofrio: it would be helpful if you could describe your endgame with this [02:49] is this being joined to a network, such as a active directory network. Or is this going to be standalone? [02:49] to make the domain group policies enforceable (aka equal and enabled) it's a adfs domain [02:49] what is the future of ubuntu ? [02:50] cortex_, the future is promising as I see it. [02:50] !17.10 | cortex_ [02:50] cortex_: Ubuntu 17.10 (Artful Aardvark) will be the 27th release of Ubuntu. It is due to be released in October 2017. Discussion in #ubuntu+1 [02:50] donofrio: then once you've joined the computer to your active directory federated server, then the policies should auto translate and propgate [02:50] thanks [02:50] i have it [02:50] but kubuntu [02:50] :) [02:50] cortex_, if you mean a larger perspective, #ubuntu-offtopic [02:51] ok [02:51] xrandr, yes but diffrent, make the local account a kerbrose login and the like, along with password complexity and other security requirements that they will ask for soon [02:52] donofrio, kerberos [02:52] correct [02:52] not kerbrose [02:52] yes [02:54] xrandr, did you see my "daily drive" photo (1drv link at bottom of apaste link) [02:55] i have not [02:56] working on some things as i pop in and out of irc [02:58] xrandr, when you get time it's there...no rush or nothing, just gotten folks starting to ask for things password complexity is first thing....of the local account password [03:01] Hey folks, I just installed 16.04 on a Thinkpad w530 and I'm having issues getting the webcam working. I'm not very experienced on the hardware side of config. Any advice? I haven't been able to find much on the web. Most people have said it worked for them out of the box just fine. When I open Cheese it says "device not found". Toggling the camera with fn f7 doesn't do anything either. [03:01] (If this is the wrong place for this, I'm sorry!) [03:03] jwarren, does the camera show up on the bus? [03:04] From what I understand, you can disable that camera in the bios, I'm wondering if it appears in lspci, lsusb, etc. [03:04] arch-nemesis: I'm not sure. When I run lsusb, most of the devices are "Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub" or something generic. [03:05] It's not disabled in the bios. I did check that. [03:05] Errors in 'dmesg'? [03:06] Checking... so far it looks like some ACPI warnings... [03:07] One sec and I'll paste some of it. [03:07] in a pastebin, hopefully :) [03:07] Yes, of course! [03:08] Is there anything specific I should look for in dmesg, or just anything that looks like an error? [03:09] I'm thinking you don't have some v4l software installed, or the device actually isn't being seen. lspci and lsusb will list the devices that are seen on those busses. [03:12] by the way v4l is "video for linux" you can use v4l2-ctl to list the webcams, if they are actually working correctly. [03:12] http://paste.ubuntu.com/25531696/ is the lsusb and lspci output [03:14] I'm guessing I have to install v4l, yeah? [03:16] You might. v4l-utils. But I don't see the webcam on that list. hmm :/ [03:18] This has been driving me crazy for about a week. It's just salt in the wound when I start the computer and the webcam light flashes on for a second. [03:22] If you happen to have some old usb webcam lying around, I'd want to know if that works. Does it show up in /dev as /dev/video* ? [03:23] Hmm, I don't think I have one. [03:24] if the device appears in /dev like /dev/video0, you can pull video off of it with mplayer or vlc. but it looks like it doesn't appear in your lsusb. [03:25] so I would guess /dev/video0 does not exist, right? [03:25] No, nothing under /dev/video* [03:27] if it's not showing up in lsusb then it's 'not connected' [03:28] Well that seems like there is no webcam plugged in. Typically they are on USB even if they are built-in webcams. Ok. If you do 'dmesg | grep usb' you should see all the messages related to USB devices. I'm curious if it's spitting out any kind of error about some of the devices plugged in. [03:29] Good messages should be something like 'registered new interface' or 'new device found'. Maybe something looks ominous. [03:30] Nothing looks out of the norm to me: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25531746/ [03:31] you have usb 3.0? [03:32] Yeah, two usb 3 ports. [03:32] do things work when plugged in there [03:32] Indeed they do. [03:33] well then thats not the problem [03:33] your computer probably isnt showing the device to the os then [03:34] There's a setting in the bios for port blocking devices. All devices in the list, which includes the webcam, are "enabled". I didn't see anything else in the bios for disabling it. [03:35] I also didn't find any hidden hardware switches. [03:37] maybe play around with the acpi_osi setting [03:39] I hope not. I hope lenovo wouldn't disable a webcam for that. [03:39] huh? [03:40] Hmm, what is ASPM? http://paste.ubuntu.com/25531775/ [03:40] for acpi_osi supported os [03:40] it might do some wonky windows workarounds that messes it up in linux [03:42] maybe. For a USB device, I'd hope not though. [03:42] Never mind. ASPM is power management I think. [03:43] laptops are weird. acpi stuff helps often times [03:50] I'm going to double check the bios, and also see if I can boot the computer in Windows to see if it works there. Other than that I'm out of ideas. [03:50] I'll just binder clip an external webcam to the top of the screen, hahahaha [03:51] Thank you for all the help and ideas arch-nemesis and Ben64! [03:52] No problem. sorry nothing came of it. [03:58] sound is not working - looked at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting and I'm at the "manually starting the audio driver" section, my problem is how do I know the name of the driver? [03:59] I see a line from lspci "Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel" but I don't know if that's it [04:01] causative, it's almost never an actual driver issue. more likely that something is muted somewhere [04:01] well I went down the list using pacmd [04:02] if you use alsamixer and view 'all', do any of the bars have 'M' at the bottom? [04:03] or have the volume down [04:06] not familiar with alsamixer, I see three cards that all say 00 on them, however pressing + or - or up or down does not change the value [04:08] further information: it was working until just recently when I suspended the system and resumed it (although I've done that many times before without problems) [04:08] and pacmd tells me that there is 1 sink named with driver which may be a bad sign [04:08] You can restart pulseaudio with pulseaudio -k. That might work. [04:09] Hey ubuntu-gurus, quick question - what mechanism in ubuntu is used to auto-mount USB drives? is at a udev thing? I want to disable it for a specific drive - actually, it is a camera that can act as a drive [04:09] thanks arch-nemesis , that worked [04:09] but when it's mounted as storage, it cannot be used for it's camera-y goodness [04:09] @causative, that was a total guess. but glad it worked. [04:11] @causative, pulseaudio is interesting. You can set up remote network audio sinks as well if you want to get fancy with your audio [04:14] bonzaibuddy: https://askubuntu.com/questions/89244/how-to-disable-automount-in-nautiluss-preferences [04:15] arch-nemesis thanks, will give that a look [04:16] seems like it will categorically disable automount but that might be fine anyhow, thx :L:) [04:30] why is polkitd using 25% of my cpu? === rkta_ is now known as rkta [05:13] good morning to all === r0Oter is now known as r00ter === Israphel is now known as Guest27515 === Israphel_ is now known as Israphel [06:23] is landscape/autopilot being deprecated? [06:24] conjure-up has dropped support apparently, breaking the Ubuntu docs on deploying openstack [06:27] RageLtMan: try asking in #ubuntu-server, might take little while to get an answer, tough [06:27] usually quiet at this time [06:28] ducasse: thank you [06:35] How can I change the permissions of an ISO I have on my ubuntu system? [06:37] chmod ? [07:03] guys, how can i set webdav auto mounting? [07:12] rh10: first hit from ddg - https://askubuntu.com/questions/406782/auto-mount-webdav-folder#522696 [07:12] ducasse, got it [07:20] Hi, on Ubuntu 16.04 previously firefox could load file:///local.swf, now it shows an empty page. Chromium-browser still works. Were there any security changes wrt local file access, and are there any workarounds for them? [07:21] alkisg: is flash enabled? [07:21] hateball: yes, the same swf works if I put it to http://mysite.com/local.swf [07:21] It's only blocked locally [07:25] hateball: to reproduce it: http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/swf/software/flash/about/mini_FMA_about_01.swf works, [07:25] while this doesn't work: cd /tmp; wget http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/swf/software/flash/about/mini_FMA_about_01.swf; firefox mini_FMA_about_01.swf [07:25] ...it should be the same for everyone here that has the latest firefox... [07:33] is it possible to install server using ubuntu desktop live usb? [07:36] fishcooker: not directly, no [07:36] what should i do next ducasse ? [07:36] you can install desktop, remove all the desktop stuff and install the server stuff. i would just get the server image, though. [07:41] ducasse: it means $ sudo apt purge ubuntu-desktop only? [07:41] fishcooker: not that simple, no. [07:42] go on, please [07:42] He already said, "(10:36:57 AM) ducasse: i would just get the server image, though." :) [07:43] noted, alkisg [07:43] ok [07:44] fishcooker: look at the list of packages it depends on, then you would need to remove those as well. it would be messy, and most likely not a 100% match. [07:45] fishcooker: there's a reason there are separate images [07:45] noted, thanks ducasse i've got the point [07:46] btw is it possible to do-release-upgrade without interupted with confirmation ? [07:47] i want to disable the touchpad when im typing because i keep touching it and it does something stupid like moves the focus away etc. any way to do this? [07:48] fishcooker: do a web search for 'unattended do-release-upgrade' [07:51] do-release-upgrade -f DistUpgradeViewNonInteractive [07:52] jbergok: you can use syndaemon with the -i option, see the man page [07:53] Hi [07:53] When I select windows10 bootloader in grub menu, grub loads itself instead of the bootloader. [07:56] I think I mistakenly chose the 100MB windowsloader partition as the boot partition during the installment of ubuntu [07:57] reinstall grub is your solution, i guess [07:58] ducasse: thanks. btw, the problems i had with installing the other day, turns out lubuntu live image is broken. i tried xubuntu instead with same options (lvm with encryption and UEFI) and everything worked fine [08:02] oerheks: reintall grub from where? inside the installed linux? ubuntu doesn't load either btw [08:02] ducasse: what is the proper way to get syndaemon to run as a daemon when ubuntu starts? i want to put syndaemon -d -i 2 somewhere.. [08:03] jbergok: ~/.xsessionrc [08:04] ducasse: thanks again [08:06] ducasse: i dont have that file at the moment. should it have a header or shebang or something? or just put syndaemon -d -i 1.0 at the start? [08:07] just create it and put in what you want, it's sourced [08:08] Mehrzad, oh, so windows & linux does not start. is this an UEFI bios machine? [08:08] oerheks: yes [08:08] !uefi [08:08] UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [08:08] jbergok: btw, you use synclient if you want to control it further - there are tons of options you can mess with [08:09] ducasse: hmm in man x-session-manager it mentions ~/.config/xfce4/xinitrc .. should i use this one instead? [08:09] ducasse: ah ok [08:09] Mehrzad, did you follow the uefi guide, disabled fastboot and intel SRT ? [08:09] ubuntu is uefi compatible btw [08:10] jbergok: if you use .xsessionrc it will work for any desktop/wm [08:10] right ok [08:10] oerheks: no, i just got familiar with uefi, 5 minutes ago [08:12] so i want to set up mail. all i know is i want to be able to read and send mail from my gmail account using mutt. what else do i need? [08:15] jbergok: you need to change a setting on gmail for that to work [08:15] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MuttAndGmail [08:17] thanks [08:17] Hi! Someone familiar with "ubuntu base" rootfs images? [08:17] I've successfully deployed 14.04, but I've troubles with 16.04... [08:18] In particular, I have trouble configuring network.. How it is supposed to be done? [08:18] amerel: there's a section on network config in the server guide [08:18] !server [08:18] Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is !Xenial (Xenial Xerus 16.04.1) - More info: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition - Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide - Support in #ubuntu-server [08:19] the wiki says ( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Base ) join #ubuntu-devel [08:20] ducasse: it seems not to apply to ubuntu-base images.. There you don't even have a working ifconfig or ip commands, neither dhclient or friends [08:21] you are supposed to install them via apt-get, but apt-get requires network.. [08:21] on 14.04 I could get it running by editing /etc/network/interfaces [08:21] but on 16.04 it seems not to have any effect.. [08:22] amerel, 16.04 changed interface naming, did you still use eth0/wlan0 ? [08:22] you use that file, but you will need the tools [08:23] copy them in and install them [08:23] oerheks: I would like to know.. but how can I discover how interfaces are renamed in ubuntu base [08:23] ducasse: it's an ARM64 arch, I cant' copy them from my desktop rootfs.. [08:24] you download and copy the .deb files [08:24] if your current OS is 16.04 too, you could see with ifconfig.. [08:24] ducasee: ah, this is a good idea :) I'll do :) [08:24] i hope you don't do this on 14.04 [08:25] oerheks: there is no ifconfig command on ubuntu base.. [08:26] amerel: ask in #ubuntu-arm if you need more help [08:26] ducasse: thank you for the hint; I'll eventually do.. But I think the trick of downloading the deb on desktop and move it to the target SD card should work :) [08:27] amerel: it should, it's the usual way of doing things like this [08:28] ducasse: OK! Thank you :) [08:52] Hi, for the first time in years, I installed Ubuntu 17.04 on an Intel NUC to see if I can make the change from OS X to Linux. I've hooked up a Dell 27" monitor but my maximum screen resolution is 1920*1080 according to the settings, even though both the gpu in this NUC and the monitor support 2560*1440. [08:53] I've been googling graphics drivers etc, but can't seem to find anything that's helping me... [08:56] brammm: what does "xrandr" say? [08:56] brammm: does it list anything abouve 1080p ? [08:58] @hateball it doesn't :/ [08:58] I just ran through the intel graphics tool update for linux os [08:59] which did install some things, but one reboot later, still no dice [09:00] brammm: You could possible try later mesa from PPA [09:00] wait huh, xrandr does say that DP-1 is connected, while HDMI-1 supposedly isn't. But this NUC only has an HDMI out... [09:02] brammm: that intel tool is a very bad idea [09:02] ikonia: oh, crapper [09:03] not to worry, it's not the end of the world [09:03] I am on ubuntu 14.04 LTS and want to go for 16.04.* I am not offered to get lts upgrade to 16 with "do-release-upgrade -d" (no new release found) [09:03] I assume I need to update my sources ? [09:03] why are you using - [09:03] -d [09:05] hateball: installed latest mesa, but still no changes [09:05] darnit [09:06] why would mesa impact it ? [09:07] no clue, that's what hateball suggested [09:07] I know very little about ubuntu as a gui, only have server experience so far [09:07] the details window does list my graphics correctly as Intel Iris Plus Graphics 650 [09:07] ikonia: oh.. ok. works now without -d (development version). thanks [09:08] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution brammm [09:09] thanks, reading [09:14] Not getting much wiser, I created a new mode with xrandr, but can't seem to select it ... [09:14] how are you trying to select it ? [09:15] xrandr --output HDMI-1 --mode 2560x1440 --rate 60 [09:15] try --rate 30 ?? [09:16] also tried with --output DP-1 (which xrandr says is the actually connected monitor) [09:16] else use DP cable and monitor .. [09:16] the intel NUC i'm using only has an HDMI out [09:16] and thunderbolt 3... [09:16] !usblive [09:16] how to use bot to search topic about usblive? [09:17] brammm, oke, add the mode with --rate 30 and test [09:19] oerheks: keeps saying it cannot find mode... The weird thing is: in the xrandr output, it's listing the newly created modes under the HDMI-1 monitor, and not under the supposedly DP-1 connected one. [09:24] kaby lake is pretty new, but should be supported with 17.04/kernel 4.10.x [09:27] oerheks: huh, I found this http://www.svenlange.co.za/memo/add-2560x1440-resolution-for-dell-u2713h-monitor-under-ubuntu/ [09:28] which wasn't working, but the just doing `xrandr --addmode DP-1 2560x1440` did [09:28] it's now listing the mode in the xrandr output and in the system settings dialog [09:28] however, switching to it turns my monitor black and gives a monitor warning "timing not supported" [09:34] Okay so I applied for a job in linux programming and human resources has the fantastic idea to send me a test which involves a dart-throwing minigame in flash [09:35] I tell them the test is broken, since support for flash is dropping everywhere and they now ask me to open it in internet explorer [09:35] come on... [09:36] I even downloaded google-chrome, which also whines "this plugin is not supported" [09:36] Do I have any options here? [09:37] apply for an other job ? [09:37] firefox 52 ESR [09:37] Sigh... who put HR in charge? [09:38] https://askubuntu.com/questions/894871/how-to-install-firefox-52-esr-on-16-04 [09:38] thank you oerheks [09:39] ayyyy, I got it working at 30fps [09:39] over hdmi [09:39] brunch, or in chrome > chrome://settings/content and see 'content settings ' > 'flash' and set to non-ask ? [09:40] perhaps I simply don't even have flash installed [09:40] but then all your pages run flash i guess [09:40] I thought chrome was bundled with it [09:40] no, flash comes with restricted extras [09:44] Hello. On Ubuntu 16.04 LTS we get an error message when opening some PDF documents: "Please wait... If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document." [09:44] brunch, maybe this flash game is the test, do you run flash or not? [09:44] How can we read the document's content? [09:44] hi [09:44] vlt: try with a different pdf viewer [09:45] brainwash: Which one? [09:45] open with libreoffice.. else that pdf got nasty content.. [09:45] Got firefox in .tar.bz2 format [09:45]
