=== thallada1 is now known as thallada === Schnabel1 is now known as Schnabeltierchen [01:19] I just let Software Update update everything it wanted to (running 16.04.3/Lubunutu).. now Pidgin doesn't open, though task manager shows it does launch... if I open with the terminal, the terminal just locks up waiting for pidgin to close (killing it in the task manager gets the prompt back)... it also seems like it takes longer than it should for the shutdown options to come up when I click on shutdown... any ideas what's going on? [01:36] How do I set my computer to connect to a http proxy on my computer? [01:37] By http proxy on your computer, do you mean configure it on the computer, or that you are *operating a proxy* on your computer that you want to connect to? [01:37] Normally, you connect to a proxy that's running on a server, is why I ask [01:37] I have a separate proxy on a raspberry pi on my network [01:38] And I want to direct my ubuntu laptop to connect to it [01:38] do you want to send all the traffic on your system via the raspberry pi, or just network traffic from your web browser? [01:38] hmm [01:38] it's easier with just the browser traffic. [01:38] It's in the config pages of the browser. [01:38] in a browser setting? [01:39] Why is it that sometimes when I press M-x in classical Ubuntu, some strange search dialog appears outside of the emacs window. What's it for? [01:39] yes, k-rock [01:40] normally people only send their web browser or email connections via proxies [01:40] because you can really only do tcp with most of them [01:41] Ok, I'll have a look [01:41] thanks [01:41] It actually happens whenever I press the alt key. [01:41] Good luck. Bye === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash [01:54] drduck: unlikely, but none of your keys are stuck, are they? [01:55] boblamont: No. [01:56] Whenever I press the alt key, I get some sort of command bar. This is the case no matter what application I have [01:56] open [01:56] . [01:58] I disabled it. All is well now. [02:02] drduck: that's good, glad you got it fixed!

H/T was on auto in the bios, and worked file with other OS's I enabled it always, but I still don't see the appropriate amount of logical cores.

Is there a solution? [03:14] coldasfucc: there's a couple of config options to fix it, at least for older releases [03:16] coldasfucc: have you created any xorg config yourself? [03:21] coldasfucc: put this content in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/xorg.conf and re-login to your system https://pastebin.com/raw/fsW2dacB [03:29] akik: I have not [03:33] coldasfucc: try that and write back if it helped, please [03:34] So, I tried the microcode recommended in that link, didn't fix hyperthreading [03:39] akik: seems to have worked for scrolling, although my animations are a bit choppier. I'm not sure if that's related to this or not though. [03:44] ok, looks like it might have something to do with my bios too.. odd since it has worked with linux and windows fine for over a year [03:44] hyperthreading not working with linux ^^ [03:45] coldasfucc: which animations? [03:46] coldasfucc: i disable smooth scrolling in firefox so it's faster. don't know if chrome has that kind of knob [03:47] Window opening/closing animations [03:47] coldasfucc: ok don't know about that [03:48] yeah, animations are fucked, but i use a kwin tiling script :C [03:49] latte dock also feels less responsive [03:49] same with typing [03:50] oops chrome is still tearing a bit [03:52] Could this be related to me scaling the display with KDE?

For example, if I have a file named "foo20", and I remember just "foo" and not "20", is there any way I can find it using the "find" command without having to manually look through all directories? [08:07] similarly named* [08:07] find -name "foo*" [08:07] ah thank you! :) [08:08] Ben64: then why it gets faster after disabling ipv6? :d [08:09] there is some resolving issues, I'm not saying the protocol is buggy [08:12] pick a better dns server then?

I want to install ubuntu on a usb device and use it there. Not a live, a REAL installation. I can do this for the mac and it works. Now I would like to make it boot also on a regular pc. I suspect I need a secondo EFI partition. [10:20] luc4, i guess that does not work that way, except if the hardware is the same [10:20] oerheks: mkusb is able to create a device booting everywhere [10:20] oerheks: so I suspect this is possible [10:20] yes, mkusb can do a live iso [10:21] oerheks: and persistent [10:21] oerheks: but it is not a real installation [10:21] persistent is just a storage part hooked on the live iso [10:21] oerheks: but it seems that firmwares and pc and mac can all boot the system [10:22] So no one has previous experience with tap-problems? [10:22] also I can boot my USB device on both, I just need to start manually from grub, which is not very comfortable [10:27] luc4: this seems to have some of the info you're looking for https://medium.com/@mmiglier/ubuntu-installation-on-usb-stick-with-pure-efi-boot-mac-compatible-469ad33645c9 [10:43] tomreyn: yes, I followed that and I can boot from the mac, but not on the pc [10:43] tomreyn: the EFI partition is now HFS+, and cannot probably be booted on a pc [10:44] luc4: and the mac can't ahndle vfat efi boot parititons? [10:44] tomreyn: not according to the document [10:47] luc4: right. but this article says formatting the efi boot partition as hfs can make it work with both mac and linux [10:49] luc4: so what happens when you try to boot it on a pc? you get the grub console prompt? and an error messag ebefore that? === rax-Y is now known as rax- === kostkon__ is now known as kostkon [11:04] tomreyn: the computer starts grub from the main hd even when USB is selected [11:27] CAN?

[12:22] and did you fully update before installing? apt update && apt full-upgrade [12:29] oerheks : I did apt update but not full upgrade.What would be the difference ? [12:30] full-upgrade would give newer packages/kernels, when you run update, you might see x not updated [12:31] i always run full-upgrade, to be sure [12:33] sup! are there any plans for ubuntu to introduce selinux perhaps? i know debian has had it on their release wishlist for years [12:34] AquaL1te, no.

[16:37] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SK1_(program) is missing from the repositories [16:37] Datz, some older motherboards need it enabled in as an option in the bios config [16:41] adrian_1908: it's the i6700 [16:41] bcowan: I've enabled it.

[16:44] oh I mean i7 6700 [16:44] adrian_1908: yes [16:45] Datz, have you compiled a custom kernel? [16:45] no [16:45] fresh install of 16.04 [16:45] This is strange, something this basic should work out of the box, and huge amounts of users are testing this.

[16:50] guess it could be, behind the scenes.. [16:50] I do claim it is not [16:50] based on.... [16:51] cpuinfo output, system monitor, htop [16:51] probably someother stuff along the way [16:51] o, i see. a ubuntu live dvd can do that. [16:51] pastebin lscpu [16:51] so did you load the microcode in the drivers tool ? [16:52] oerheks: yes, I've tried 2 different versions [16:52] and give more info, such sparse claim..

I can run that command on kubuntu? [17:05] or should I run the server command? [17:06] oerheks: oh, tried to run it, says I'm at the newest version.

[17:10] it's all in the above hastebin I beleive [17:10] 1 thread per core it says [17:13] https://hastebin.com/ibumocexay.sql [17:13] odd that ubuntu mate 16.04 worked before [17:13] I could try and reinstall or something [17:14] try a live usb [17:14] yeah.. nouveau drivers don't work.. so it's super slow.. [17:15] I think I even noticed it then, but that was before bios update [17:15] doesn't matter if it's slow, you're just checking lscpu [17:15] yeah [17:15] guess I'll abandon my gigabyte request for now [17:16] and make sure your bios is actually updated [17:27] just did that this morning, it said it provided a fix [17:27] and it probably did, as the live cd shows me 8 logical cores [17:27] so it's my install [17:28] so the question is, can i fix my install, or should I have to try and re-install? [17:34] I guess it's a new install. I could just try and reinstall [17:35] must be some static kernel confiuration? [17:39] I guess I'll try and boot it one last time, then reinstall.

[18:45] well, i meant Ubuntu Mate [18:45] not some other mate variant [18:46] Datz: Ubuntu mate = Ubuntu + mate DE as opposed to Unity DE which has zero to do with your video drivers. [18:46] borw3: in October [18:46] borw3: next month, see the topic in #ubuntu+1 [18:46] leftyfb: yes, but ubuntu != mate [18:46] Datz: Mate is a Desktop environment. Not a distribution. [18:47] leftyfb: although your first statement told you thought otherwise [18:47] Thanks [18:47] Datz: Whether you're running Mate or Unity or Gnome Shell or KDE, has little to nothing to do with the issues you're having. [18:48] leftyfb: I know it shouldn't but I was running Ubuntu mate 16.04 without problems before [18:50] never knew it was pronounced maté [18:53] so, these nouveau drivers not working in this particular instance, is that something being worked on? [18:53] Datz: did you file a bug? [18:53] I did not [18:53] Hello. What can I do to activate an laptop (internal) webcam, or how can I check if it is working in Ubuntu? [18:53] it looks like it's a common issue [18:54] Datz: is there a bug report? [18:54] looking now [18:55] not sure whether to look into nouveau community, or ubuntu.. === ShalokShalom_ is now known as ShalokShalom [19:04] hi all [19:24] I have a problem: on startup, after ubuntu loading screen, i have a black screen (with a mouse cursor). I cant get to any tty from this black screen. It was all working fine a few days ago, and I don't recall installing/updating any packages. I am not sure where to go from here [19:53] hello [19:53] https://askubuntu.com/questions/104824/port-forward-to-a-port-on-the-same-machine [19:54] I am trying to do the same thing but I want it to remain on reboot [19:57] you could use iptables-save/-restore, or a firewall management interface such as UFW, shorewall, bastille... [19:58] iptables-persistent also [19:58] hmm would "iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 25570 -j REDIRECT --to-port 25565" survive a reboot? [19:58] not by itself [19:59] what I want to do is everything going into port 80 be redirected to a different port with one exception url [19:59] To everyone who was following my hyperthreading problem, I reinstalled, and it's working now. No, I'm not sure how. [20:00] ToAruShiroiNeko: iptables / netfilter has no concept of URLs, that's the application layer [20:00] alright, would there be a different way to do this? [20:01] its two different problems probably [20:01] ToAruShiroiNeko: you may want to use a webserver, reverse / caching proxy or application layer load balancer for this purpose [20:03] tomreyn: Is it really a specific URL, or just a specific domain? [20:03] Jordan_U: how would i know? :) [20:03] ah I first have to fix this thing. I was trying to set the box up with a static IP [20:04] since then it doesn seem to be able to resolv edns names [20:04] ToAruShiroiNeko: Is it really a specific URL or just a specific domain? [20:04] just a url [20:04] a local url [20:04] nacc: pavlos oerheks. I re-installed after the bios update, and now hyperthreading is working [20:04] to be more specific if someone types www.mywebsite.com/foo they would be redirected to www.mywebsite.com/foo:#### [20:05] if someone types www.mywebsite.com/foo2 they would not be redirected [20:05] only foo2 though [20:05] everything else, not [20:06] humm, a new kernel update. I wonder if this is what broke H/T [20:07] Bios update, good find. [20:07] ToAruShiroiNeko: "redirected" in terms of returning a HTTP response with a "Location:" header, right? [20:07] oerheks: yeah, thing is, the update alone didn't fix it. [20:07] I dont know the terminology [20:07] when they try top reach port 80 they end up on a different port without knowing [20:08] oerheks: but I'm just installing updates. Maybe this new kernel will break it. [20:08] * Datz will wait without too much guessing [20:09] iptables does exactly this [20:09] ToAruShiroiNeko: so what i said above is what you want: use a webserver, reverse / caching proxy or application layer load balancer for this purpose. a port redirection won't work for this. [20:10] ToAruShiroiNeko: iptables works with ip's, not webserver files [20:11] can we fix my first problem first? [20:11] the dns isnt working :( [20:11] you can fix it. we may be able to help you fix it if you provide details. [20:12] https://pastebin.com/AsC9ZM7L [20:12] nah, latest kernel is just fine [20:12] this is what I have in /etc/network/interfaces/ [20:12] https://askubuntu.com/questions/470237/assigning-a-static-ip-to-ubuntu-server-14-04-lts <- I was following this [20:12] ToAruShiroiNeko: are you using ubuntu 14.04 then?
