[00:15] Hello. Please join my new channel ##teledildonics [00:15] peeniss, offtopic dont spamvertise [00:16] bazhang: dude you need to chill every once in a while [00:16] always so uptight [00:16] chatter NOT here peeniss [00:18] !ops bazhang [00:21] Hello everyone I'm Alsophila and I'm new here [00:23] Alsophila: Welcome, this is ubuntu support . Other ubuntu chats are availabale too :) [00:24] Thanks. I love Ubuntu! === JanC is now known as Guest73457 === JanC_ is now known as JanC [00:27] Alsophila: What is there not to love ? But, look - chatter is in #ubuntu-discuss :) [00:28] I'm having a lot of trouble with my trackpad. 16.04, Dell 9365. Sometimes it'll suddenly behave as if 2 fingers are depressed so any attempt to move the cursor scrolls you around. And the cursor sporadically jumps about, or select a load of text, and becomes poorly responsive... [00:28] Ok I'll turn to that channel for chatting. :) [00:30] And When I need some help I'll come back here :) [00:31] Alsophila: :) .. Or render help to others . [00:33] Perhaps when I get more used to Ubuntu :) [00:34] But now I'm trying to get my blue tooth and 3G module working... [00:44] Hello! Is there a way to boot ubuntu server so that console goes right into an application and not to the login prompt? [01:30] valeech, I'd set it up to run the program in screen with cron [01:31] then in ssh or whatever you can screen -dRR and go into that shell. then c-a c-d to detach when done [01:35] doug16k: Thanks for the ideas. I was looking more for a way so that when the machine boots, on the tty console there is not a login prompt but rather an application showing machine status info. I think I have it figured out. I can configure the tty.conf to login as a specific user and that user’s shell in the shadow file will point to the script/application I want to use. [01:36] oh you actually want it to come up on the screen? when you said "server" I pictured a remote vm or something [01:37] the whole point of my suggestion was that it just starts up autonomously with nobody present and nobody logged in and it can be attached to by a temporary ssh shell, for example [01:38] and that losing the ssh connectoin won't kill it [01:38] but yeah, it is not visible immediately as you seem to want [01:42] Hi, is anyone here using the Chinese (not ibus) input? I can't seem to get it to work. [01:53] Has anybody had trouble running Destkop 16.04 under esxi 6.5a [01:54] mine vm will boot and run for a couple of minutes and lock up [01:55] TopRope: nope been running fine for me for over a year now [01:56] well 6.5.0a has only been out since February [01:56] TopRope: it's been in production in a vsphere environment since 5.x [01:57] TopRope: and it's survived every upgrade [01:57] hmmm [01:58] haven't had any trouble with any Ubuntu Server's but have done multiple desktop build's and I can't keep the thing running [01:58] TopRope: did your symptom(s) occur immediately after installing the OS or did the symptom seem to occur sometime later? [01:59] TopRope: or image or whatever you used [02:00] TopRope: does your symptom(s) occur if you simply boot the livecd/liveusb? [02:00] they do. But I did an apt-get dist-upgrade the other night and it ran for a few hours and I thought it was fixed. Shut the vm down and tonight would not run for more that a couple of mins. [02:02] TopRope: knowing the results of those queries will aid in narrowing your support efforts, allowing you to not waste mental concentration going down illogical rabbit wholes [02:02] TopRope: so you should probably start there [02:02] haven't tried just the live cd yet. [02:02] locks up like clockwork though [02:04] TopRope: performing the trouble shooting steps above will also allow you to know if the root cause is something you introduced into the ubuntu environment or possibly some other problems in areas including but not limited to the hypervisor level [02:06] TopRope: by now you may have just realized, yes it's obviously something you introduced into the ubuntu environment [02:07] TopRope: but you're probably thinking "gee whiz, what is it and what am i supposed to do about it" [02:08] well it maybe something I did but would have to be during the initial build [02:08] I was having to race to patch the sys after I built it before it would lock up [02:09] I had the install auto lvm the disk [02:10] about the only choice I made that and giving it a hostname and setting it to dhcp [02:10] bout the only things you do in the install [02:11] TopRope: well hopefully you're leveraging some of the system resiliency and high availability features of vsphere esxi, and can quickly and nimbly get back up and running where you need to be........lol...wishful thinking i know right lol [02:11] nahh this is just a home server [02:12] I host a few servers on a dmz of my pfsense box [02:12] and run to test machines that is about it [02:13] not enterprise critical or anything [02:14] TopRope, lets get back to strict ubuntu supprot please [02:14] chatter in #ubuntu-offtopic [02:14] o m g ! [02:15] whats the issue aloo_shu [02:17] I can't keep Ubuntu Desktop 16.04 running for more than a couple of mins in esxi 6.5.0a [02:17] what type errors are you getting TopRope [02:18] sorry to be chattery but he asked me if I was using HA and I explained that it was just virtual host on my home net and no use for that [02:18] just locks up after running for a couple of mins [02:19] TopRope, does this match any of the outstanding bugs for that scenario [02:21] tatertotz: just built a vm for the live cd to run on [02:22] it is locking up too [02:23] TopRope, as far as bug reporting/ error reporting goes, locks up is not going to get many takers [02:27] bazhang: well that may be true but I can't change the facts. I thought it might be something that somebody else has run it. sorry to waste your time [02:28] TopRope, error pastes, many more details, and bugs looked for and found would help a lot [02:28] does ubuntu have issues with ios 10.3 photo mounting? [02:29] kantlivelong, from iphoto? [02:29] bazhang: i used to be able to connect my phone and browse photos through the file manager [02:30] doesnt seem to work now [02:30] kantlivelong, iphone via ubuntu box? [02:30] yes [02:30] it cool I will just keep running this cent box runs fine [02:31] !iphone | kantlivelong [02:31] kantlivelong: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [02:32] yeah no mention of ios 10.3 [02:32] kantlivelong, sadly apple keeps changing the ifuse, what ubuntu uses for that [02:33] seems like i need some sort of daily builds ppa for libiobiledevice [02:34] kantlivelong, there is a search ppa at launchpad [02:36] TopRope no idea if there are ways to make your vm more verbose , or if watching top in forest or threaded view could give clues on what is hanging [02:36] kantlivelong: wich ubuntu version are you on? [02:36] lotuspsychje: 16.04 [02:37] kantlivelong: fully up to date? can you check with lsb_release -a ? [02:37] ah hmm Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS [02:40] kantlivelong: what you could try is the .3 perhaps as test? [02:40] yeah suppose so [02:40] kantlivelong: your device shows up when plugin on usb? [02:40] lotuspsychje: it does but blank [02:41] TopRope: does your symptom(s) occur when booted to livecd/liveusb? yes or no [02:41] shows correct usage but nothing in it [02:41] kantlivelong: to see the technical part: tail -f /var/log/syslog and plugin your device to find usefull errors [02:41] TopRope: sounds like a yea to me but you need to acknowledge it [02:43] TopRope: this means you got problems in other areas including but not limited to the hypervisor level [02:43] TopRope: and that pretty much puts you out of scope for this environment, unfortunately [02:43] tatertotz: I mentioned earlier it locked up on the live cd. The web console window timed out. Has run for a while now [02:44] TopRope: you should now take this over to the vmware/virtualbox chat room, as it's been determined that your problem(s) lie elsewhere [02:45] TopRope: it's likely i'll be there when you get there so you should really be swift and go now while my attention is at your disposal [02:45] aloo_shu: good point. I think I will try a few diff options on the initial setup. I wish it would give me a little feedback to look in the logs for [02:46] ok thx tatertotz [02:49] hello, to install wine in ubuntu which command we use? [02:49] apt install wine32? [02:49] wine64? [02:50] ghost-287: you could just use the GUI [02:51] ghost-287: ' sudo apt install wine ' . see: apt list wine . [02:51] ghost-287: has a handy little search feature in software manager/software center/synaptic or whatever name it's going by today [02:53] ty, i installed it but when i try to run it with root user it tells me $USER/.wine is not owned by you [02:54] ghost-287: have you tried it NOT as root [02:54] ? [02:55] tatertotz, without root it works [02:56] ghost-287: really....you don't say... [02:56] but i need that it works with root [02:57] ghost-287: no, you actually don't...you just believe you do, i suspect because you don't know any better [02:57] ghost-287: and that's fine, that's ok, i get it [02:58] :/ [03:10] ghost-287: https://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#Should_I_run_Wine_as_root.3F [03:10] ghost-287: if you read section 6.2 of the "official" wine documentation [03:11] ghost-287: it's says and i quote " NEVER run wine as root" [03:11] ghost-287: did you know that? [03:11] ghost-287: it literally says it in big bold red letters [03:11] ghost-287: they even explain to you why this is a bad idea [03:12] ghost-287: so i'm really disturbed why you make a sad emoticon/emoji [03:12] ghost-287: what you are wanting to do is wrong on so many levels [03:13] ghost-287: the only logical explanation is that you did not know this information [03:13] ghost-287: you have now been told....and "officially" [03:14] served! [03:14] :p sorry [03:15] ghost-287: why do you think you need root? =| [03:15] you're not like... running your whole system as root are you? [03:16] * capella ran Wine once in a *nix VM under an actual Win host ... it was stupid fun [03:17] azaki, need it because is included in a script which need to be run with root === BrAsS_mOnKeY is now known as g2 [03:17] ghost-287, I would invest the time in adapting the script, or finding a source for a script that doesn't advise you to "void the warranty." [03:18] ghost-287, you'll find really quickly that making it work "quick and dirty" really isn't quick in the end, but it sure as hell is dirty. [03:19] i'm starting to seriously wonder what this script is doing if it needs wine *and* root .. [03:19] ghost-287: do at your own risk....it's unsupported completely as per the software vendor themselves, that's right from the horses mouth [03:20] wine is designed to run userspace stuff.. low level windows apps likely wont work.. === NickG365_ is now known as NickG365 [03:24] another question not related to wine :3 [03:25] spit [03:25] where can i find the icons of applications that are present in the launcher menu [03:28] ghost-287: open terminal [03:29] and locate *? [03:29] ghost-287: no silly...you think i'm some kinda newb or something [03:30] :x [03:30] ghost-287: in terminal> ls -lh /usr/share/icons|nc termbin.com 9999 [03:31] ghost-287: share url/link here...if you do not get a url/link...says o [03:31] ghost-287: share url/link here...if you do not get a url/link...says so [03:32] ghost-287: think you can handle that? [03:33] tatertotz, i was looking what is termbin :D [03:33] ghost-287: do you know how "reciprocation" works? [03:34] ghost-287: see i asked something of you in return for what you requested [03:34] ghost-287: share url/link here [03:34] ghost-287: don't break the good "cycle" we got going [03:35] ghost-287: you don't wanna mess that up [03:35] http://termbin.com/i1rw [03:37] can someone tell me which version of ruby ubuntu ships by default? [03:37] rafasc: open terminal [03:38] is there a windows services for linux channel? [03:38] tatertotz: Im not using ubuntu at the moment. Was trying to choose a ruby version to target my software against. [03:38] (ie bash on ubuntu on windows aka lxss aka wsl lol) [03:39] rafasc: ah i see, doing a little pre field research [03:39] !ubuwin | Fixion_ [03:39] Fixion_: Canonical and Microsoft have announced that Windows 10 will be able to run Ubuntu programs without needing porting/recompilation. This functionality is still in beta and is not supported in #ubuntu. For discussion and support, see #ubuntu-on-windows. [03:39] thanks :) [03:40] Fixion_: see also the #ubuntu-server channel for more specific services perhaps [03:40] Fixion_: depends on what you look for :p [03:41] rafasc: you can do a search on https://packages.ubuntu.com, that will list all ruby versions in the official repo's [03:41] lotuspsychje thanks but its more the windows side that I'm having an issue with... the Ubuntu subsystem itself seems to work fine... [03:41] Fixion_: allrighty! [03:44] rafasc: or /query ubottu and !info yourpackage ubuntu-code-name [03:44] !msgthebot | rafasc [03:44] rafasc: Please investigate me only with "/msg ubottu bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu search " [03:45] thanks, I'm in to it. [03:55] i believe I wanted to say I'm on it. [03:55] man english is hard when you're still awake at 04:55am [03:58] you could have been into being on it [03:58] it's happened to us all [04:02] I've got a problem with my wife's machine. Some of her programs can't talk directly to pulseaudio, yet google-chrome can play videos (and I hear the sound). I added her user to the audio group, and to pulse and pulse-access for good measure. yet mplayer can't access the pulseaudio device, and neither can mpd. [04:02] What else do I need to look at? [04:02] (aside from mpd.conf, which has pulseaudio as its only output) [04:03] the volume control works, and Test Speakers works, I get audio in both speakers. [04:04] !sound | viking667 [04:04] viking667: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [04:05] Volume's fine, hardware's all correct. Input works (microphone gives me bars on the meter) and output simply says (System sounds - muted) [04:06] Any player I've checked works, as long as I don't expect it to connect to pulseaudio (I get "Connection refused" there) [04:09] viking667: wich ubuntu version? [04:11] latest release (not 1710 [04:11] viking667: #ubuntu+1 for artfull issues please [04:11] hm, hang on. I'd best check that. [04:11] oh [04:11] oops, it seems it's 16.04 (gah) [04:12] viking667: .2 or .3? [04:12] .2 [04:12] I wasn't even aware there was a .3 [04:12] viking667: ok, things you can try is a pulseaudio restart, and upgrade to .3 [04:12] hm. How would I do a upgrade to .3? I've never met this beast before. [04:12] !upgrade | viking667 [04:12] viking667: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [04:13] And I've restarted pulse several times. Each time, it starts up. [04:13] viking667: pulse worked before any time? [04:14] No idea. The volume works fine, the "Test Speakers" thing works fine (I hear left speaker, right speaker). Google chrome plays youtube videos and streams our local television. [04:15] viking667: only on mplayer broken? or other apps aswell? [04:15] mpd [04:15] !info mpd [04:15] I haven't tested anything else. [04:15] mpd (source: mpd): Music Player Daemon. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.19.21-1 (zesty), package size 374 kB, installed size 1189 kB [04:15] !info mpd xenial [04:15] mpd (source: mpd): Music Player Daemon. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.19.12-1 (xenial), package size 369 kB, installed size 1168 kB [04:15] viking667: got this version? [04:16] yes. [04:16] viking667: did you try a reinstall perhaps? [04:16] reinstall of exactly what, though? [04:16] mpd [04:16] mplayer won't connect to the pulse server either [04:17] viking667: how about vlc, does that work can you try? [04:17] I'll give that a go. please bear with me. [04:17] sure [04:18] Output method is set to "Automatic" [04:18] Setting to "Pulseaudio" now. [04:19] yup. Works. [04:19] ... strange. Why doesn't mplayer work, then? [04:20] hm. Now it seems to work. Amazing what happens when I threaten the machine with a Windows install... [04:20] viking667: not sure, you can launch mplayer from terminal perhaps for more errors [04:21] mplayer's working fine, at least now. [04:21] kk [04:22] !yay | viking667 [04:22] viking667: Glad you made it! :-) [04:22] not yet, I haven't. I need mpd to start working. [04:23] viking667: try reinstall of mpd [04:23] sigh. [04:24] how do I reinstall something, again? apt-get --install --reinstall ...? [04:24] viking667: sudo apt purge mpd [04:24] ugh. I'd prodded the conf file, I'll have to set that aside. [04:25] viking667: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1825023 [04:26] wow. When did apt get this colour interface? I usually only use apt-get and apt-cach [04:26] viking667: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MPD [04:26] err, cache [04:26] viking667: on xenial you can use apt install package instead of apt-get [04:27] ahh. That's new to me. [04:27] viking667: overlook your conf on the ubuntu mpd page ok [04:28] how do i install the wingdings fonts on ubuntu? [04:28] Yep. I'm just doing a diff between the two conf files now. [04:31] * viking667 scratches his head... this is different... [04:33] README.Debian mutters something about a ~/.mpdconf and starting it up as a user. Oh, and disabling it in systemd. [04:38] ... which it looks like I already did that some time in the past. [04:50] hm. [04:53] Okay. I'm out of here while I figure out why mpc won't connect to mpd. [04:53] Thanks for the help. [05:16] is there a channel for ubuntu server?

It jitters randomly sometimes, sometimes behaves like there's a second finger press so any cursor movement scrolls you around, and selects text. I tried a couple of suggestions from https://askubuntu.com/questions/865690/touchpad-issues-on-ubuntu-16-10 https://medium.com/@patrickmmartin/dell-xps-13-9360-journey-to-linux-trackpad-fix-a2d9b551d291... [09:27] Now it's probably worse than before because I don't have natural scolling anymore; the mouse/trackpad options are now much more sparse - I can only choose primary button left/right and double click speed. [09:31] Maybe someone can tell me the default touchpad driver so I can reinstall that? [09:34] It's called synaptics? [09:34] Not to be confused with synaptic?

Thanks for letting us know [09:50] I'd installed that junk to try and mitigate the jittery cursor + phantom scrolling problem. I guess I still face that stinking problem. [09:53] :( [09:56] multifractal: Hopefully this isn't a stupid question [09:56] can you ask Dell for support? [10:00] Nope they wash their hands of anything ubuntu related. [10:00] you'll be talking to a dial tone if you mention linux. [10:05] hi, i installed audacity via software store. the app is installed and now i wanna remove it. but i dont really know how to uninstall that now. software center only offers me the option "install" as if it wasnt installed [10:06] dekatch, open Terminal ... sudo apt remove -purge [10:06] dekatach: I think you can sudo-apt get remove... [10:06] beat me to it [10:06] might have to get out of the store, and then go back in, it should reset.. [10:07] alright. [10:07] * multifractal would never want to uninstall glorious audacity anyway [10:08] yea its just i installed it on accident [10:08] on a pretty tight drive here 9GB xd [10:09] tried to avoid the terminal usage... tried how far ill come. and all my stuff works flawlessly after an fresh ubuntu install + first update [10:10] seems very neat :) ubuntu ftq [10:10] ftw [10:12] dekatch, you mean 9gb left after the install? [10:12] no, actually i mean 10GB total. 1gb swap, 9gb rest of it [10:12] i will probably change that [10:13] wow that's about the min. [10:13] this is kinda a test run. dont judge me on that i am a windows gui **** but i always liked linux. just wasnt as convinient to use [10:15] i use both. A lot of people do. [10:15] but everything runs out of the box. thats neat [10:16] don't know if you seen it, but in the Store you can view all the "Installed" programs. [10:16] like the audio settings better as them from windows. i can change the volume level of my sub in a very convinient way. windows cant do that. [10:16] i had to install 3rd party apps to do it [10:17] Tin_man, i checked there twice and tripple. audacity wasnt listed [10:17] no i don't think it's a default program. [10:17] software center also only offered the "install" option again after i installed [10:17] not on my install anyway [10:18] as i said, it gets confused sometimes.. [10:18] how does the du command work? Does it read the entire file to determine its size or does it query some property of the filesystem?7 [10:19] i really miss foobar2000 [10:19] trijntje_: pretty sure it looks at the filesystem, given how fast it is when scanning multiple directories =o [10:19] just the best app ever on windws. [10:20] an audioplayer [10:20] media players is the one thing we have no shortage of in linux.. =p [10:21] yea. but none is like foobar2000 :) [10:21] never used, or heard of foobar2000, but i'm in the older generation of life, so no not surprising. [10:21] It is a rather modular player, and I guess there is no direct counterpart [10:21] It runs well (or at least used to) in WINE tho [10:22] dekatch: If you havent already, you might want to have a look at Clementine [10:22] normally just stream my music, don't have a large collection. [10:22] yea was about to try them all i guess. [10:24] what i need is a good library and an easy to create playlist section. like on the go [10:24] manually creating playlists is keeping me from doing it as lazy as i am xx [10:27] Why can't I switch into 2 different languages in unity? [10:28] kalcso, you want to type in two languages mid sentence? [10:29] azaki: I guess that's an indication, but I was hoping someone would know for sure. I do know that it gets confused when two folders contain hardlinks to eachother [10:30] I want to use Ru+En. It's ok by clicking and choose between these two from the panel, but shortkey doesn't work, short-keys are ok in other user environment! [10:30] kalcso, via kb layout ibus or other [10:31] Hi - i am having a weird situation where my mouse cursor is flickering pretty much constantly (somewhat like pulsing). I think this is a recent thing but i haven't installed anything new (other than updates) [10:31] is this a known issue? Is there an easy workaround for that? [10:31] languages indicator [10:31] trijntje_: a more general channel like #linux would be able to answer things like that better. [10:31] I am using ubuntu 16.04 [10:31] dekatch: if you want extended library functions etc then amaroK is also good [10:32] kalcso, I usually use ibus for that, set a ccertain key to switch between the two [10:33] They are defined but not working in unity (It will be fixed when I'm switching to gnome, even an unity from other users). [10:33] kalcso, you are using ibus? [10:34] bazhang, How can I get that? [10:34] kalcso, same as other packages in ubuntu, install it [10:35] How can I get that I'm using ibus [10:35] kalcso, you would have downloaded it, configuerd it, added the appropriate language packs, then restarted it [10:36] kalcso, did you do that [10:36] I'm using ibus-setup in terminal. [10:37] kalcso, thats just the very first step [10:37] kalcso, no using it until you actually set it up [10:38] ▶ ibus engine [10:38] xkb:us::eng [10:40] I guess it is installed by default [10:40] kalcso, so you ran it, exited it, added the language packs, then resrtarted it? [10:40]
