blkadderThanks Jordan_U I forgot what the preferred mechanism was here.00:12
SummerRain@bkladder https://imgur.com/a/1TKnt00:13
blkadderYou'd need to look at the error logs00:15
SummerRain@blkadder How to00:15
blkadderTake a look under /var/log/mysql00:15
SummerRainLooking into it00:17
SummerRainTheres nothing there :(00:17
SummerRainNothing with mysql anyway*00:18
blkadderYou might try /var/log/error.log00:18
blkadderNot certain where it is logging to...00:18
RoDiMuS-Xtry sudo journalctl -u mysql00:18
blkadderOr that. :-)00:19

SummerRain@blkadder00:21
blkadderThat's not exactly helpful, is it? :-)00:22
bmsrrr00:23
SummerRain:(00:23
SummerRainWhat should I do ? :(00:23
RoDiMuS-X@SummerRain try mysql commandline00:23
blkaddertry running it manually00:24
blkaddermysqld start00:24
SummerRainHow so ?00:24
RoDiMuS-Xmysqld00:24
RoDiMuS-Xalso you should have an error log here, /var/log/mysql.err00:25
RoDiMuS-Xthis is identical to your issue: https://askubuntu.com/questions/924347/mysql-5-7-crashes-on-ubuntu-16-04-no-errors00:26
SummerRainNo error log and the command "mysqld start" https://imgur.com/a/KPFCY00:27
SummerRain@blkadder00:27
blkadderThat's better.00:27
blkadderOr not...00:27
RoDiMuS-XCheck your permissions of /var/lib/mysql00:28
blkadderls -al /var/lib/mysql00:28
blkadderYou need to run it as a user with permissions to it...00:28
RoDiMuS-Xand make sure you have diskspace, $ df -H00:28
RoDiMuS-X@SummerRain you have to run mysqld as root, so "sudo mysqld start" that is why you had the permission issue00:29
SummerRain@RoDiMus-X blkadder https://imgur.com/a/rbTT800:32
SummerRain@RoDiMus-X i did with Sudo tbh.00:32
SummerRainWhat should I do ? :(00:32
SummerRainAnd yes, i have 450 gb left (free space)00:33
RoDiMuS-X@SummerRain, not sudo ls, you need to do "sudo mysqld start"00:33
SummerRainYes i did.00:33
SummerRainSame error.00:33
RoDiMuS-XNo your image https://imgur.com/a/KPFCY/ has no sudo00:34
SummerRainWill try again00:34
SummerRainThanks :000:34
blkadderSummerRain, Were you able to locate error logs?00:34
RoDiMuS-Xso debian-5.7.flag has root permissions, I would "sudo chown mysql:mysql debian-5.7.flag"00:35
SummerRain@blkadder no, i will reinstall with sudo.00:35
blkadderReinstall?00:35

leotreasurei'm getting this error: snapd returned status code 400: Bad Request03:42
leotreasurei've tried this answer https://askubuntu.com/questions/956289/snapd-return-status-code-400-bad-request03:43
leotreasureI had this problem before when my kernel changed because of an amd driver but it went away last time I changed back to 4.10.0-35-generic, now changing back didn't solve it03:44

HiddneTundraEvening everyone, I'm having a bit of trouble with making a bootable windows install USB. I'm using unetbootin on ubuntu 14.04 with a win 7 ISO from MS's servers04:56
HiddneTundraWell never mind, I'm apparently too impatient04:56

ubottuHiddneTundra (Too impatient indeed): WinUSB is a tool for preparing bootable Windows Instalation USBs.

m4dh4tt4gentlemen05:12
m4dh4tt4ideas on disabling laptop hdd led, /sys/class/leds/phy0-led <- found that, askubuntu has 1 page, tried it, nothing,05:13
m4dh4tt4couldnt find a binary, couldnt seem to edit any of those text files except for one and i flipped the boolean, nada, probably doing it wrong lol05:14
=== juboxi is now known as jubo2
lotuspsychjei finished a photorec scan for the whole HD, anyone knows a program that would grab all pictures from all the folders?05:25
m4dh4tt4it should have already05:26
m4dh4tt4did you not pic a directory to recover to?05:27
m4dh4tt4also you need to make sure you selected the filetypes you wanted recovered(jpg png etc)05:27
m4dh4tt4you should see a buncha recup_dir1,2,3 depending on how many files05:28
m4dh4tt4oh i see youre just looking to move them sigh05:28
m4dh4tt4sec05:28
lotuspsychjem4dh4tt4: yeah i got like 20 recup_dirs i want to find something to grab only the pics out of it05:29
lotuspsychjem4dh4tt4: sorting 20 folders with copy paste will take a while05:30
m4dh4tt4for file in `find .|egrep -i 'jpg|jpeg|png'`; do  mv --backup=existing --suffix=_1 "$file" allpics;done05:32
m4dh4tt4but first, mkdir allpics05:32
m4dh4tt4awh crap maybe make that a folder back so it doesnt loop05:32
lotuspsychjekk05:33
m4dh4tt4and the mv --backup=existing suffix crap is so it doesnt overwrite if theres a name conflict05:33
m4dh4tt4and if u want a script to find all the duplicates and weed them out let me know05:34
m4dh4tt4its written so that it never deletes anything, moves all dupes into a folder called dupes and produces md5checksum logs n such05:35
m4dh4tt4and if you want a dry test run, /\ add the word echo before mv and it will simply show you what it would run05:36
lotuspsychjem4dh4tt4: im scanning with shotwell, but import takes long, if that doesnt work ill try your method05:36
m4dh4tt4ugh i hated shotwell but thats just me, i tried like 10 apps for photos05:37
m4dh4tt4best one was geeqie for slideshows and sorting, especially if its hot chicks cuz then you can mirror/reverse/flip a pic and have the ladies in stereo haha05:38
lotuspsychje!info geeqie05:39
ubottugeeqie (source: geeqie): image viewer using GTK+. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:1.3-1build1 (zesty), package size 458 kB, installed size 1477 kB05:39
lotuspsychjenice lemme try that m4dh4tt405:39
m4dh4tt4still works best if theyre all in 1 folder though05:39
m4dh4tt4you can do it with file viewer too possibly and just search jpg etc , but i find that thing goes for a lunch break if youre over 1000 files, especially ones that like to thumbnail05:40
lotuspsychjeyeah05:40
lotuspsychjeshotwell still prepares import lol05:41
m4dh4tt4cd (photorecdir) ; mkdir ../allpics; for file in `find .|egrep -i 'jpg|jpeg|png'`; do  mv --backup=existing --suffix=_1 "$file" ../allpics;done05:41
m4dh4tt4if u did a large hdd photorecs gonna be there forever05:42
m4dh4tt4or any app really05:42
m4dh4tt4depending on what youre looking for it truly helps to delete images that dont meet a certain size05:42
lotuspsychjem4dh4tt4: its a 500gig HD, but it recovered like 300 jpges05:42
m4dh4tt4so if looking for pics from a cam, then like, safe to delete or at least move the ones under 20k, personally i jump it up to 40k-60k saves a lot of time05:43
lotuspsychjem4dh4tt4: the reason i always do all filetypes, is because other import stuff can showup aswell05:43
m4dh4tt4wtf only 300 jpgs?05:43
m4dh4tt4how old was the drive? a week?05:43
lotuspsychjem4dh4tt4: yeah its a smaller user with laptop for banking/web05:44
m4dh4tt4even then , doesnt the OS have more jpgs then that05:44
m4dh4tt4just make sure ure not missing any filetypes and that you scanned it with the right filesystem selected i guess05:45
lotuspsychjem4dh4tt4: yeah i scanned properly05:45
m4dh4tt4and NEVER recover to save drive youre scanning05:45
m4dh4tt4i did this friends drive i got like 40k images it was disastrous, found 1 nudie of his chick and she was nasty in it, what a waste05:45
lotuspsychjem4dh4tt4: i always scan whole HD, photorec saved me alot of data05:47
m4dh4tt4i could be wrong on this here but ive sometimes had better results with a partition scan05:47
m4dh4tt4i dono i went overkill on this one hdd cuz the stuff meant a lot, probably ran it 30 different ways its a little blurry now05:48
lotuspsychjem4dh4tt4: never had issues myself here05:48
lotuspsychjem4dh4tt4: anyway photorec halfway import now :p05:48
m4dh4tt4wasnt really having issues , its more about making sure i got every single pic possible05:48
m4dh4tt4how the hell is it taking an hour to import 300 jpgs05:48
m4dh4tt4you running a tandy 1000? pentium 1? or possibly need to delete that software haha05:48
Jordan_Um4dh4tt4: Your stories about finding nude images of a woman that presumably she had not given you permission to view, and you appraisal of said woman/image do not belong in this channel.05:49
m4dh4tt4i was recovering all of his stuff05:49
m4dh4tt4and u know what, i never really belong here anyways, always getting shit on for helping others , just took a 2 month break 15 mins in, sittin here providing WAY more help than asked for,05:51
m4dh4tt4good job mod05:51
m4dh4tt4keep the channel dead05:51
m4dh4tt4fk this place05:51
m4dh4tt4ban plz05:51

SourMilkGood job mods, last time i was helping people with nvidia drivers, everytime i open my mouth you somehow find a keyboard, not to solve t he issue of course, but to comment on how im trying to help solve. So i got slapped for recommending what solved months of issues with n vidia graphix(solution actually came from a mod so A+ on this one). So I quote the bossy mod, recommend the default driver/command/canned response-that-he-writes06:39
SourMilkand smile as i watch 3 people QQ cuz they no longer have a gui. *cricket, mods nowh ere to be found* I leave for 2 months cuz helping people and having to deal with your small penis issues is tiresome. I came back cuz i had a quick Q but ended up helping someone.06:39
SourMilkThis time its 2:00am and were talkin photo recovery and i mention (one message out of 15, the other 14, me being selfless, drop what im  doing to help someone else) being disappointed in a jpg with Newditee and buddy who was incapacitated when people actually needed help, all of a sudden , becomes defender of the universe , tells me off, actin like there are children in ubuntu IRC whos eyes cannot unsee th e pure evil that occured.06:39
SourMilk When i grow up. I want to be an IRC moderator of a channel thats quiet, and when people speak, ill make sure to pick apart their dialogue to keep the non-existent children safe from the channel that is now dead. Good job Faksticks. Your dick is still small tho mmkay. Make sure to get all the swears out, save your bandwidth though don't waste it answering questions, there's much shooshing to be done. Go be a librarian. #Mods4Egos #06:39
pennTellerHi guys, I have an ip cam that has an option to ftp photos into my server.. sadly it is only ftp. Is there anything at all I can do to secure this so that is not as hackable and if it is to mitigate the possibility of total server takeover?07:13
ducassepennTeller: run the ftp server in a container?07:16
pennTellerducasse, Thanks, any suggestion on the best way to do this on ubuntu 14.04?07:19
ducassetrusty hasn't got lxd, so i'd go with lxc. quite easy to set up and get going with, but you will need to do some reading07:20
ducasseor look if there is a ppa with lxd, as lxc is being deprecated07:21
Jordan_UpennTeller: Is the camera on the same network as the server? If so, firewall it so that it can only access resources on the LAN, not on the internet.07:24

pennTellerducasse, thanks man, my connection dropped sorry07:35
pennTellerducasse, I will look into that07:35
pennTellerJordan_U, the camera sadly is not on the network07:35
Jordan_UpennTeller: Just based on things like https://krebsonsecurity.com/2016/10/hacked-cameras-dvrs-powered-todays-massive-internet-outage/ I would personally not want any ip camera actually connecting to the internet, let alone one where we know the security bar starts at "Can't even be bothered to use sftp instead of a completely plain text protocol most people abandoned decades ago".07:40
pennTellerBelieve me I agree! But my boss just doesn't want to get it.07:41
pennTellerI've explained 10 times the stupidity of this method07:41
pennTellerof doing things07:41
Jordan_UpennTeller: Does the camera connect to a "cloud" service, or does it communicate with the server directly?07:43
Dreamanhttps://paste.ubuntu.com/25605514/  ducasse  :)07:44
pennTellerJordan_U, the camera does come with a cloud service that allows you to see it from anywhere. However motion detection system of the camera FTP's photos into a given server in the event of motion. It's either FTP or email and i've done email before it's a pretty crazy setup tp get that working07:44
ducasseDreaman: it's still not very interesting unless you have a question that goes along with it07:46
Dreamanok07:47
Dreamanbay07:47
Jordan_UpennTeller: Can you only allow ftp traffic between the ip camera and that particular server's ip? Even if you can, I still don't like it.07:50
pennTellerJordan_U, I can't purely allow ftp traffic since the guy wants to see the picture that the camera sends to the serve on the server using apache07:51
pennTellerJordan_U, I know its awful07:51
pennTellerstupid Tp-link Nc220 cam07:51
pennTellerI almost want to hack it and enable ssh somehow07:51
Ben64you'd have to stick something in between it to catch ftp and output something sane07:53
ducassecan you set up a tunnel/vpn?07:53
pennTellerBen64, yes07:56
pennTellerducasse, hmm that is a good idea...07:56
pennTellerthough I have some years of linux experience I have never setup a vpn apart from the simple ones on the ubuntu gui07:57
pennTellerI am fairly confident I can do it07:58
dekatchhi, how much disk space do i need for an ubuntu install?07:59
dekatchwant to install it ontop of my windows and therefore i am asking how much space i need to free up from my one partition that i currently have08:00
Ben64depends how much you want to do with it08:00
dekatchnothing much, just browsing, listening to music08:00
dekatchgot my music on a external08:01
Ben64i think they say minimum is 6GB or something08:01
Ben64i could be wrong08:01
dekatchso with 10GB i should be fine then08:01
dekatch?08:01
Ben64yeah08:01
dekatchok thanks, thats ok08:02
ducassepennTeller: you can probably just use ssh, plenty of examples online08:02
pennTellerducasse, Let me ask you man, lets say the camera is at my home.08:04
pennTellerWould I enable vpn access to my router? or to the camera?08:04
pennTellerlike am I sshing into the router to be on the local network and thus access the camera?08:05
dekatchwhat should i install ? my focus is on driver availability. want my 5.1 audio to work and my nvidia graphics card if possible. is one of them better or worse ? 16.04.3 lts or 17.0408:05
pennTelleror am I sshing into the camera? (the camera doesn't have ssh)08:05
ducassemany routers have at least some vpn functionality built in, then you initiate the connection from the other side to link the two networks08:06
Ben64dekatch: i'd do 16.04 for the long term support, depending on your video card you might need to get a PPA to get a newer driver though08:06

dah85I've tried googling but with limited success because I'm not sure what terms to search for, but what I would like to do is convert an mp3 streaming radio station (128kbit) down to 56kbit and restream that, so that it can be streamed on a low bitrate connection.  Is this possible?08:58
Ben64yes it's possible09:01
dah85Ben64, what would be the best way to acheive such a setup?09:27
Ben64find out how to stream something, then use the other stream as input, either downloading it and re-stream or have a buffer09:28

respawn1hello everyone. Does anyone know of a good way of backing up my android device on ubuntu? (the screen is broken so can't mtpfs it)14:08
tomreynrespawn1: with a broken screen things get difficult, and android is not great at backup in general. your best bet is probably adb. note that there is also ##android around here, IIRC, none of this is unbuntu specific.14:13
respawn1tomreyn: I wanted to know if there was software on ubuntu that could help. I am already on #android asking the other part of the equation. Thank you for the info on adb14:14

LogicalDashI have the 8bitdo FC30 game controller. It mostly works with Ubuntu 17.04 over USB but appears to have eight axes when there are really only six (2 analogs + d-pad). The extra two get maxed out when I press left or right on the d-pad respectively, which is pretty useless behavior since there's an axis for left *and* right, and it confuses games as to which is the right stick's vertical axis. How do I get rid of the redundant ax14:30
LogicalDashI've reordered the axes in jscal but this doesn't seem to affect Unity games, which I think indicates that this is a kernel bug...?14:35

Jordan_U_BIGSHOT_: First, ensure that there aren't other differences between Ubuntu 14.04 and Ubuntu 17.04 that might prevent the steps in this guide from working, other than systemd vs upstart. Save that script somewhere and execute it, and see if it gets your IR remote working.20:25

Jordan_U_BIGSHOT_: OK, if those are the two commands that you want to run as at boot (I can't tell if they're correct/sufficient or not).

I want to upgrade one program (hexchat), and found this: http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2016/06/hexchat-irc-client-ubuntu-16-04/ - they tell me to add a ppa with $sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gwendal-lebihan-dev/hexchat-stable  and here comes my question - *how* can I trust this concrete ppa, what this actually is, does anybody monitor this stuff?20:49

konradossorry for my English, I meant: how can I know I can trust this particular ppa. This actually applies to any ppa someone suggest me to add20:53
Loshki_konrados: your only real protection is that enough people use the ppa that the likelihood of an undetected vulnerability is low. In the end, using the official repos relies on much the same principle. At your own risk.20:55
konradosLoshki_, thanks, but how can I know how many ppl use this ppa?20:55
Loshki_konrados: I think you have to google it, and make your own estimate.20:57

TobaPPAs make me kinda nervous, yea.21:03
Anticombuggaboosanchez: well a terminal multiplexer just adds virtual terminals to your actual terminal. You can split your screen estate into multiple sub-terminals21:05
AnticomWhat's also nice about tmux is that you can close the "host" (tmux itself) and leave the commands you've started running21:06
AnticomLater you can then re-attach to those sessions21:06
Anticomlike you would be able when using screen21:06
AnticomIt takes a little time getting used to but it's actually a pretty powerful tool21:06

=== nocaberi is now known as Bock
konradosLoshki, sorry, I got disconnected, and I'm not sure if you answered :(. So, how to know how many ppl use a given ppa?21:11
Loshkikonrados: no way to know for sure. And my question remains: Suppose you had something you wanted to release on your own. How would/could you convince people it was safe?21:12
konradosLoshki, I would open sourced21:13
konradosit21:13
Loshkikonrados: that helps a little bit, but it's (clearly) no gurantee of freedom from bugs, or malice. Actually, I don't recall the last time a ppa had a serious security problem. Anyone?21:14
konradosLoshki, I... actually have no idea what do I precisely do, when I add a ppa. Like now I want to add sudo add-apt-repository ppa:overcoder/hexchat - how can I know what will precisely happen, how is this related to https://launchpad.net ? Is it actually related in anyway?21:17
konradosOK, that question was probably very stupid, wasn't it?:) But I really just... have no idea what happens when I add a ppa, something probably obvious to you.21:18
Loshkikonrados: what exactly is it about hexchat that makes you unable to wait for the regular release cycle, with it's attendant worries.21:18
konradosLoshki, it's really not about hexchat, I've had these doubts since I started using ubuntu. It's just that now I finally asked the question :)21:19
Mathisenkonrados, if i where you i would not get in to the habbit of adding ppa,s21:20
konradosLoshki, my current version of hexchat is from 2015, on #hexchat they suggest upgrading21:20
Mathisenyou will just end upp with a system that have 10 diffrent versions of whatever and finaly just die21:20
konradosMathisen, but it seems to be the only way to install the newest version of hexchat, or am I wrong?21:20
oerheksyes, zesty gets that version , xenial sticks on 2.10 https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hexchat21:21
Mathisenkonrados, you are wrong yes21:21
Mathisenkonrados, get the source https://github.com/hexchat/hexchat/archive/master.tar.gz21:21
konradosoerheks, yeah, that.21:21
Loshkikonrados: a PPA is just a repository with files in it you can download, with a bit of housekeeping so you can update stuff easily. Unless you have a clear need, it's not worth resorting to a ppa, in my opinion.21:23
konradosLoshki, ok, got it, so I'll try to do that without a ppa :)21:25

oerheksjamie_1, Yes you can ... btw do you see any smoke?21:29
Mathisenkonrados, http://hexchat.readthedocs.io/en/latest/building.html21:29
jamie_1oerheks: yeah i was thinking earlier...my bad21:29
jamie_1and Ben64 im doing that now21:30
oerheksdo a memtest86 run with a live iso21:30
jamie_1but if it is a ram issue... is it possible to block the bad sectors like you would a hdd?21:30
Jordan_Ujamie_1: Just those symptoms could be caused by a vast number of things. In what way was your install "broken" after crashing and rebooting? You can exclude bad areas of RAM, if that is the problem, but it's probably better to just replace the bad stick with a good one.21:31
jamie_1oerheks: i did a boot with a live stick and im running the mem test right now. and Jordan_U it would randomly revert to a non-gui display and then i couldnt do anything and it was complaining about a pcr read issue. then when i rebooted it would just get stuck in the boot loop21:32
jamie_1the memtest is at 50% right now21:33
jamie_1with 0 errors so far21:33
Ben64leave it running for a few hrs at least21:33
konradosMathisen, Loshki - I just want to say thank you now, before I'll go into builing this thing and probably crash everything :) So, thank you!21:34
Loshkijamie_1: I like to run a memtest overnight21:34
jamie_1also odd question on top of that one... this computer i have been using for about a year and a half now and i bought it from a school which i put linux on it but a few times i tried to run windows it would have issue becaue it was locked with computrace.... is it possible that computrace with the new versions of ubuntu is able to shut it down like it does for windows?21:35
Loshkikonrados: I'm running 14.04, which is old, but my regular, repo-downloaded hexchat seems to be newer than yours (2.9.6, compiled Apr 2016). Why is that?21:36
konradosMathisen, but they tell me to do $apt install meson libcanberra-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev libglib2.0-dev libgtk2.0-dev and many other, but... what if I have newer versions of this stuff? And... shouldn't the dependencies be managed by... something... not me? Like why ppl invented those .deb files? I'm really lost...21:38
konradosLoshki, IDK, maybe you upgraded?21:38
konradosLoshki, ah, I missed the "my regular, repo-downloaded" part21:39
konradosLoshki, this is what Help/about told me: "2.10.2, Compiled: Dec 18 2015" - "2.10" seems to be newer than 2.9, only the dates don't do the math here o_O21:41
Mathisenkonrados, if you feel like you dont want to mess with it stay with the ones in the repo21:41
Mathisenkonrados, also if you after having new shiny stuff all the time you using wrong dist, switch over to a dist that is a rolling one. like arch for example21:41
konradosMathisen, I don't only want to learn doing this with hexchat, hexchat isn't that important to me. I want to learn this thins in general.21:41
konradosMathisen, but I like ubuntu :) No, I don't want only new shiny things, but on the other hand, i don't want three years old stuff :)21:42
Mathisenlike i said dont use a dist that has relases then21:43
Loshkikonrados: actually that's quite reasonable. Your version is later than mine. The compilation date is just when it was built for inclusion into a release. That lag is part of the reason the risk is lower with repos. People have had more time to test it.21:43
konradosLoshki, ok, I got it, I think :) Thanks21:45
illuminatedfreebsd is kinda a 'rolling release' as well21:48
illuminatedthey have periodic releases, but they have a clear upgrade path from one release to the next21:48
illuminatedalthough, it's probably not considered a true 'rolling release'21:49
LoshkiI *choose* to run older software, as I prioritize stability/security over new features on my production machines.21:50
konradosLoshki, yes, but hexchat isn't one of those programs I *really* care when it comes to stability :) Same with most gui programs.21:52
MathisenLoshki, i was thinking that before also, then i tried diffrent dists and now running arch and have been for 1 year. and i must say it is borderline the most stable os i used21:52
Mathisenso stable can be new stuff also21:53
Mathisenit all comes down to how you handle it21:53
illuminatedkonrados what version of ubuntu are you using?21:53
konradosilluminated, xenial, 16.0421:53
jamie_1Loshki: it finished with 0 erros on a full test21:54
illuminatedany reason you haven't done a do-release-upgrade to 17.04 so you can use the zesty repo?21:54
illuminatedi'm sure hexchat in the zesty repo would be a bit newer21:55
konradosilluminated, eeeee, no, I won't upgrade entire system only to get newest version of some irc client... :) I mean, I really thought upgrading one simple app should be easier than that :)21:55
jamie_1any ideas on diagnossing issue21:55
Loshkijamie_1: that cannot possibly have been an 'overnight' run. You'll be sleeping anyway.21:55
jamie_1Loshki: i set the test to do all tests and it finishedin 2hrs21:56
illuminatedkonrados: welcome to linux.21:56
theablestmanhow do i remove discord from ubuntu 14.04lts?21:56
jamie_1theablestman: depends on how you installed it21:56
jamie_1if you used apt-get you woulddo apt-get remove discord. if you used a deb you should be able to use dpkg if not then do it manually21:57
Loshkijamie_1: That's a good sign, depending on how much ram it has?21:57
theablestmansudo dpgk -i discord-0.0.2.deb21:57
jamie_1Loshki: 8gb21:57
theablestmanhow do i remove it with dpgk21:58
Loshkitheablestman: do you have a /var/cache/apt/archives/discord* file?21:58
Ben64sudo dpkg -r discord-0.0.2.deb21:59
oerheksnot, use apt21:59
theablestmank ty21:59
Jordan_Utheablestman: I would recommend just removing with apt "sudo apt remove discord". (Things installed via dpkg can be removed via apt).21:59
theablestmank21:59
illuminatedsudo apt purge discord22:00
Loshkijamie_1: what kind of hardware is it?22:00
jamie_1Loshki: its a lenovo thinkpad l440 with dual core i5 dual with 8gb of ram22:00

theablestmanty22:02
Loshkijamie_1: bummer. laptop hardware is hard to troubleshoot...22:05
AaaaandI just installed ubuntu 16.04 on a new computer, it was shipped with windows 10 home, when I installed ubuntu, it asked me to install in dual boot mode, I clicked yes. Everything went fine so far but when I now restart the computer I go to the grub command line22:06
AaaaandWhen I restart and I hit f10 quickly to go to bios and then just hit save, it does go to the normal grub menu where I can choose ubuntu22:06
Aaaaandany ideas how to solve it?22:07
jamie_1Loshki: yeah... i know. and i dont have the money to go buy another one22:07
Jordan_UAaaaand: Please pastebin the output of "sudo efibootmgr -v".22:08
Loshkijamie_1: cheap fix attempt #1: run it next to a fan in case overheating is the problem (how old is it. Did you ever clean it? Does the cat sit on it?)22:09
jamie_1Loshki: 3 years, yes and no22:10
jamie_1i have an much older laptop running as a server lol22:11
AaaaandJordan_U: https://pastebin.com/raw/z2bxmrEz22:11
Loshkijamie_1: if it were a tower, power supply tests would be next, I think22:11
jamie_1Loshki: right now its running... well see how it goes with the fan... if it stops i know i need to redo the tim and maybe put in a better fan22:12
Loshkijamie_1: that's the idea. Worst case would probably be an non visible mobo crack. You'd have to replace the mobo to even test that as a theory.22:16
Jordan_UAaaaand: Do you have any USB drives connected when you're booting?22:16
AaaaandJordan_U: One external hard drive, but there no OS on it22:17
Jordan_UAaaaand: Do you get any error message when you're dropped to the grub shell?22:21
undeclaredI'm using 16.04 desktop, whenever I switch inputs on my display device and go back, the screen is blank and I have to forcefully log out from an SSH terminal to get video back22:24
Aaaaandsorry my internet was gone22:24
AaaaandI don't if you got my comments22:24
AaaaandJordan_U: One external hard drive, but there no OS on it22:24
AaaaandThe pc also has two drives, one ssd and one normal drive. Windows is on the ssd and ubuntu on the other one22:24
Aaaaand(normally)22:24
Jordan_UAaaaand: Do you get any error message when you're dropped to the grub shell?22:25
AaaaandJordan_U: no22:25
AaaaandI think it has something to do with the dual boot22:26
Jordan_UAaaaand: So that you know, currently Windows and Ubuntu are both sharing the same EFI System Partition, presumably on the ssd.22:26
AaaaandJordan_U: is that a problem?22:27
Aaaaandwell probably, but how do I fix it22:27
Jordan_UAaaaand: It shouldn't be unless you plan to run Ubuntu without the ssd plugged in.22:28
Aaaaandno I don't plan to do that22:28
Aaaaandbut is that the reason for the grub shell to come up?22:29
Jordan_UAaaaand: It shouldn't be.22:32
Jordan_UAaaaand: Do you get any error message when you're dropped to the grub shell?22:32
AaaaandJordan_U: no22:33
Aaaaand(you already asked btw : )22:33
Jordan_UAaaaand: Sorry :). Can you be at the grub shell and here on IRC from another computer at the same time?22:34
Aaaaandyes I'm on IRC on another pc, so I'll restart to see the grub shell22:34

buggaboosanchezcould a linter be used to enforce a naming convention on the local ubuntu system?22:36
undeclaredI have a weird issue (intel IGP) where if I switch off the input and back on, it blanks the screen.. Anyone encountered this and have any idea how to fix it?22:41
Jordan_Ubuggaboosanchez: A naming convention for what?22:41
buggaboosanchezJordan_U: For example - suppose I want to make sure that all files and dirs under /home/* are in lower camel and can not contain anything  but numbers or letter and can not contain more than 10 letters - then, if I try to do any of 'touch MyStupidlyLongFileWithWrongCase'  it will abort the creation of the file and throw an error message (possibly containing what riles were violated or need to be fixed). If I use any other command to create the file (22:49
buggaboosanchezor directory with the improper na me - eg: cat, mkdr, etc) I will get the same behavior / enforcement. <---  That is an arbitrary example just to communicate one use case - the rules should be customizable to suit ones own use case(s).22:49
RashadHey all. I have created a bootable virtual hard drive (vhd) from which I want to use the official Ubuntu ISO to install Ubuntu. However, for the windows boot manager to work correctly, I need to specify the file that firsts starts the booting from the ISO.22:50
RashadWhich file would that be?22:50
AaaaandJordan_U: ok, I see the grub shell now22:53
AaaaandI see the grub prompt22:56
Aaaaandnot the rescue one22:56
buggaboosanchezI see there is this: https://www.shellcheck.net  <---  linter for bash - could it enforce a file and directory naming convention?22:59
buggaboosanchezhas anyone used it with ubuntu?22:59
Ben64buggaboosanchez: doubt that would work23:02
Aaaaandanybody can help me with my booting problem?23:08
Jordan_UAaaaand: What is the output of "echo $prefix"?23:12
Jordan_Ubuggaboosanchez: I'm still not understanding what naming convention you want to enforce. Are you trying to prevent yourself from creating files named in the "wrong" way? Are you trying ot prevent scripts you write from creating files named in the "wrong" way? What is your desired naming convention?23:15
AaaaandJordan_U: (hd0,gpt1)/boot/grub23:16
Aaaaandthat doesn't exist though23:17

Aaaaand(hd0) (hd0,gpt1) .. to gpt423:18
Jordan_UAaaaand: And what does "ls $prefix" list?23:19
Aaaaandfile /boot/grub not found23:19
Aaaaandwhen I do ls (hd0,gpt1), it says filesystem is fat, for the other it says, filesystem is unknown23:20
Aaaaandbut when i boot, the root is on /dev/sdb4 I think23:21
Jordan_UAaaaand: "ls (hd0,gpt1)/"23:21
AaaaandJordan_U: efi/ System Volume Information/23:22
Aaaaand /dev/sdb4 should be (hd1,gpt4) no?23:22
Aaaaandit's not in the list23:23
Aaaaandit's looking at the wrong disk I think23:23
Jordan_UAaaaand: The way that it should work is that it should initially read a grub.cfg from /efi/ubuntu/grub.cfg within the EFI System Partition, which should then change the prefix to your root partition and read the /boot/grub/grub.cfg there.23:24
Aaaaandthere is a grub.cfg file at (hd0,gpt1)/efi/ubuntu23:25
Jordan_UAaaaand: cat /efi/ubuntu/grub.cfg23:25
Jordan_UAaaaand: configfile /efi/ubuntu/grub.cfg23:26

max3`23:28
Ben64something listening on port 800023:28

max3isn't that the name of the binary?23:29
AaaaandJordan_U: I did configfile and now I just have a clean shell again23:29
Aaaaandlike I did the command 'clear'23:29
Ben64max3: dunno, my netstat doesn't have that column23:29
max3Ben64, netstat -ano gives me that23:30
Jordan_UAaaaand: My guess is that your slow HD takes longer to initialize than the ssd, and if it hasn't been initialized by the time grub starts, it won't be accessible. Running through the boot firmware configuration menus at some point probably probes for, and initializes, drives including your Ubuntu containing HD.23:30
max3how do i investigate which binary owns which port23:30
Ben64max3: netstat -lnp | grep 800023:31
AaaaandJordan_U: oh, so I always have to go through the bios now?23:31
LoshkiBen64: that last column is labelled "Timer" in mine. It's talking about tcp timers.23:32
max3Ben64, thanks23:32
Ben64Loshki: ok23:32
max3Ben64, wait this is just unix sockets23:32
max3oh nm i'm sorry23:32
Jordan_UAaaaand: You have a few options. 1: Find an option in your boot firmware to probe for drives. 2: Move your Ubuntu ESP to the HDD, so that your boot firmware *knows* it needs to initialize the internal HD to boot Ubuntu.23:33
AaaaandJordan_U: you mean in the bios?23:34
Aaaaand(for option 1)23:34
Jordan_UAaaaand: Yes. (Boot firmware is a more general term, which includes BIOS, UEFI, Coreboot, OpenFirmware, etc based boot firmware, wheres technically a "BIOS" should be a BIOS based, i.e. not UEFI, boot firmware. That said, most boot firmware manufacturers for UEFI boot firmware call it a BIOS, so I guess I'm fighting a losing battle :)23:36
AaaaandWell it looked like a standard bios, I don't know if that option is there I will look23:38
AaaaandJordan_U: The bios is very basic, I don't know if there is a hidden button to see more advanced features, but it doesn't seem possible23:41
Jordan_UAaaaand: If this is a fresh install then the easiest way to get your EFI System Partition to be on the HDD is probably just to temporarily unplug the SSD and re-install Ubuntu. You can also make the change without re-installing, and re-installing and just manually partitioning rather than unplugging the SSD.23:42
AaaaandThanks for the help. I will look into moving the ESP to hdd23:43
Aaaaandbut I didn't configure this part manual, ubuntu put the esp on ssd then23:43
Jordan_UAaaaand: You're welcome. Yea, this seems like a possibly questionable descision by the automatic partitioning in Ubiquity (the installer).23:52
