[00:21] <Alsophila> Hello everyone I'm Alsophila and I'm new here
[00:23] <Bashing-om> Alsophila: Welcome, this is ubuntu support . Other ubuntu chats are availabale too :)
[00:24] <Alsophila> Thanks. I love Ubuntu!
[00:27] <Bashing-om> Alsophila: What is there not to love ? But, look - chatter is in #ubuntu-discuss :)
[00:28] <multifractal> 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] <Alsophila> Ok I'll turn to that channel for chatting. :)
[00:30] <Alsophila> And When I need some help I'll come back here :)
[00:31] <Bashing-om> Alsophila: :) .. Or render help to others .
[00:33] <Alsophila> Perhaps when I get more used to Ubuntu :)
[00:34] <Alsophila> But now I'm trying to get my blue tooth and 3G module working...
[00:44] <valeech> 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] <doug16k> valeech, I'd set it up to run the program in screen with cron
[01:31] <doug16k> 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] <valeech> 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] <doug16k> oh you actually want it to come up on the screen? when you said "server" I pictured a remote vm or something
[01:37] <doug16k> 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] <doug16k> and that losing the ssh connectoin won't kill it
[01:38] <doug16k> but yeah, it is not visible immediately as you seem to want
[01:42] <icedwater> Hi, is anyone here using the Chinese (not ibus) input? I can't seem to get it to work.
[01:53] <TopRope> Has anybody had trouble running Destkop 16.04 under esxi 6.5a
[01:54] <TopRope> mine vm will boot and run for a couple of minutes and lock up
[01:55] <tatertotz> TopRope: nope been running fine for me for over a year now
[01:56] <TopRope> well 6.5.0a has only been out since February
[01:56] <tatertotz> TopRope: it's been in production in a vsphere environment since 5.x
[01:57] <tatertotz> TopRope: and it's survived every upgrade
[01:57] <TopRope> hmmm
[01:58] <TopRope> 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] <tatertotz> TopRope: did your symptom(s) occur immediately after installing the OS or did the symptom seem to occur sometime later?
[01:59] <tatertotz> TopRope: or image or whatever you used
[02:00] <tatertotz> TopRope: does your symptom(s) occur if you simply boot the livecd/liveusb?
[02:00] <TopRope> 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] <tatertotz> 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] <tatertotz> TopRope: so you should probably start there
[02:02] <TopRope> haven't tried just the live cd yet.
[02:02] <TopRope> locks up like clockwork though
[02:04] <tatertotz> 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] <tatertotz> TopRope: by now you may have just realized, yes it's obviously something you introduced into the ubuntu environment
[02:07] <tatertotz> TopRope: but you're probably thinking "gee whiz, what is it and what am i supposed to do about it"
[02:08] <TopRope> well it maybe something I did but would have to be during the initial build
[02:08] <TopRope> I was having to race to patch the sys after I built it before it would lock up
[02:09] <TopRope> I had the install auto lvm the disk
[02:10] <TopRope> about the only choice I made that and giving it a hostname and setting it to dhcp
[02:10] <TopRope> bout the only things you do in the install
[02:11] <tatertotz> 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] <TopRope> nahh this is just a home server
[02:12] <TopRope> I host a few servers on a dmz of my pfsense box
[02:12] <TopRope> and run to test machines that is about it
[02:13] <TopRope> not enterprise critical or anything
[02:14] <bazhang> TopRope, lets get back to strict ubuntu supprot please
[02:14] <bazhang> chatter in #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:14] <aloo_shu> o m g !
[02:15] <bazhang> whats the issue aloo_shu
[02:17] <TopRope> I can't keep Ubuntu Desktop 16.04 running for more than a couple of mins  in esxi 6.5.0a
[02:17] <bazhang> what type errors are you getting TopRope
[02:18] <TopRope> 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] <TopRope> just locks up after running for a couple of mins
[02:19] <bazhang> TopRope, does this match any of the outstanding bugs for that scenario
[02:21] <TopRope> tatertotz: just built a vm for the live cd to run on
[02:22] <TopRope> it is locking up too
[02:23] <bazhang> TopRope, as far as bug reporting/ error reporting goes, locks up is not going to get many takers
[02:27] <TopRope> 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] <bazhang> TopRope, error pastes, many more details, and bugs looked for and found would help a lot
[02:28] <kantlivelong> does ubuntu have issues with ios 10.3 photo mounting?
[02:29] <bazhang> kantlivelong, from iphoto?
[02:29] <kantlivelong> bazhang: i used to be able to connect my phone and browse photos through the file manager
[02:30] <kantlivelong> doesnt seem to work now
[02:30] <bazhang> kantlivelong, iphone via ubuntu box?
[02:30] <kantlivelong> yes
[02:30] <TopRope> it cool I will just keep running this cent box runs fine
[02:31] <lotuspsychje> !iphone | kantlivelong
[02:32] <kantlivelong> yeah no mention of ios 10.3
[02:32] <bazhang> kantlivelong, sadly apple keeps changing the ifuse, what ubuntu uses for that
[02:33] <kantlivelong> seems like i need some sort of daily builds ppa for libiobiledevice
[02:34] <bazhang> kantlivelong, there is a search ppa at launchpad
[02:36] <aloo_shu> 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] <lotuspsychje> kantlivelong: wich ubuntu version are you on?
[02:36] <kantlivelong> lotuspsychje: 16.04
[02:37] <lotuspsychje> kantlivelong: fully up to date? can you check with lsb_release -a ?
[02:37] <kantlivelong> ah hmm Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
[02:40] <lotuspsychje> kantlivelong: what you could try is the .3 perhaps as test?
[02:40] <kantlivelong> yeah suppose so
[02:40] <lotuspsychje> kantlivelong: your device shows up when plugin on usb?
[02:40] <kantlivelong> lotuspsychje: it does but blank
[02:41] <tatertotz> TopRope: does your symptom(s) occur when booted to livecd/liveusb? yes or no
[02:41] <kantlivelong> shows correct usage but nothing in it
[02:41] <lotuspsychje> kantlivelong: to see the technical part: tail -f /var/log/syslog and plugin your device to find usefull errors
[02:41] <tatertotz> TopRope: sounds like a yea to me but you need to acknowledge it
[02:43] <tatertotz> TopRope: this means you got problems in other areas including but not limited to the hypervisor level
[02:43] <tatertotz> TopRope: and that pretty much puts you out of scope for this environment, unfortunately
[02:43] <TopRope> 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] <tatertotz> 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] <tatertotz> 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] <TopRope> 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] <TopRope> ok thx tatertotz
[02:49] <ghost-287> hello, to install wine in ubuntu which command we use?
[02:49] <ghost-287> apt install wine32?
[02:49] <ghost-287> wine64?
[02:50] <tatertotz> ghost-287: you could just use the GUI
[02:51] <Bashing-om> ghost-287: ' sudo apt install wine ' . see: apt list wine .
[02:51] <tatertotz> ghost-287: has a handy little search feature in software manager/software center/synaptic or whatever name it's going by today
[02:53] <ghost-287> 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] <tatertotz> ghost-287: have you tried it NOT as root
[02:54] <tatertotz> ?
[02:55] <ghost-287> tatertotz, without root it works
[02:56] <tatertotz> ghost-287: really....you don't say...
[02:56] <ghost-287> but i need that it works with root
[02:57] <tatertotz> ghost-287: no, you actually don't...you just believe you do, i suspect because you don't know any better
[02:57] <tatertotz> ghost-287: and that's fine, that's ok, i get it
[02:58] <ghost-287> :/
[03:10] <tatertotz> ghost-287: https://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#Should_I_run_Wine_as_root.3F
[03:10] <tatertotz> ghost-287: if you read section 6.2 of the "official" wine documentation
[03:11] <tatertotz> ghost-287: it's says and i quote " NEVER run wine as root"
[03:11] <tatertotz> ghost-287: did you know that?
[03:11] <tatertotz> ghost-287: it literally says it in big bold red letters
[03:11] <tatertotz> ghost-287: they even explain to you why this is a bad idea
[03:12] <tatertotz> ghost-287: so i'm really disturbed why you make a sad emoticon/emoji
[03:12] <tatertotz> ghost-287: what you are wanting to do is wrong on so many levels
[03:13] <tatertotz> ghost-287: the only logical explanation is that you did not know this information
[03:13] <tatertotz> ghost-287: you have now been told....and "officially"
[03:14] <capella> served!
[03:14] <capella> :p sorry
[03:15] <azaki> ghost-287: why do you think you need root? =|
[03:15] <azaki> 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] <ghost-287> azaki, need it because is included in a script which need to be run with root
[03:17] <AureliusO> 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] <AureliusO> 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] <azaki> i'm starting to seriously wonder what this script is doing if it needs wine *and* root ..
[03:19] <tatertotz> 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] <azaki> wine is designed to run userspace stuff.. low level windows apps likely wont work..
[03:24] <ghost-287> another question not related to wine :3
[03:25] <tatertotz> spit
[03:25] <ghost-287> where can i find the icons of applications that are present in the launcher menu
[03:28] <tatertotz> ghost-287: open terminal
[03:29] <ghost-287> and locate *?
[03:29] <tatertotz> ghost-287: no silly...you think i'm some kinda newb or something
[03:30] <ghost-287> :x
[03:30] <tatertotz> ghost-287: in terminal>         ls -lh /usr/share/icons|nc termbin.com 9999
[03:31] <tatertotz> ghost-287: share url/link here...if you do not get a url/link...says o
[03:31] <tatertotz> ghost-287: share url/link here...if you do not get a url/link...says so
[03:32] <tatertotz> ghost-287: think you can handle that?
[03:33] <ghost-287> tatertotz, i was looking what is termbin :D
[03:33] <tatertotz> ghost-287: do you know how "reciprocation" works?
[03:34] <tatertotz> ghost-287: see i asked something of you in return for what you requested
[03:34] <tatertotz> ghost-287: share url/link here
[03:34] <tatertotz> ghost-287: don't break the good "cycle" we got going
[03:35] <tatertotz> ghost-287: you don't wanna mess that up

[03:37] <rafasc> can someone tell me which version of ruby ubuntu ships by default?
[03:37] <tatertotz> rafasc: open terminal
[03:38] <Fixion_> is there a windows services for linux channel?
[03:38] <rafasc> tatertotz: Im not using ubuntu at the moment. Was trying to choose a ruby version to target my software against.
[03:38] <Fixion_> (ie bash on ubuntu on windows aka lxss aka wsl lol)
[03:39] <tatertotz> rafasc: ah i see, doing a little pre field research
[03:39] <lotuspsychje> !ubuwin | Fixion_
[03:39] <Fixion_> thanks :)
[03:40] <lotuspsychje> Fixion_: see also the #ubuntu-server channel for more specific services perhaps
[03:40] <lotuspsychje> Fixion_: depends on what you look for :p
[03:41] <glitsj16> rafasc: you can do a search on https://packages.ubuntu.com, that will list all ruby versions in the official repo's
[03:41] <Fixion_> 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] <lotuspsychje> Fixion_: allrighty!
[03:44] <lotuspsychje> rafasc: or /query ubottu and !info yourpackage ubuntu-code-name
[03:44] <lotuspsychje> !msgthebot | rafasc
[03:45] <rafasc> thanks, I'm in to it.
[03:55] <rafasc> i believe I wanted to say I'm on it.
[03:55] <rafasc> man english is hard when you're still awake at 04:55am
[03:58] <Toba> you could have been into being on it
[03:58] <Toba> it's happened to us all
[04:02] <viking667> 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] <viking667> What else do I need to look at?
[04:02] <viking667> (aside from mpd.conf, which has pulseaudio as its only output)
[04:03] <viking667> the volume control works, and Test Speakers works, I get audio in both speakers.
[04:04] <lotuspsychje> !sound | viking667
[04:05] <viking667> 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] <viking667> 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] <lotuspsychje> viking667: wich ubuntu version?
[04:11] <viking667> latest release (not 1710
[04:11] <lotuspsychje> viking667: #ubuntu+1 for artfull issues please
[04:11] <viking667> hm, hang on. I'd best check that.
[04:11] <lotuspsychje> oh
[04:11] <viking667> oops, it seems it's 16.04 (gah)
[04:12] <lotuspsychje> viking667: .2 or .3?
[04:12] <viking667> .2
[04:12] <viking667> I wasn't even aware there was a .3
[04:12] <lotuspsychje> viking667: ok, things you can try is a pulseaudio restart, and upgrade to .3
[04:12] <viking667> hm. How would I do a upgrade to .3? I've never met this beast before.
[04:12] <lotuspsychje> !upgrade | viking667
[04:13] <viking667> And I've restarted pulse several times. Each time, it starts up.
[04:13] <lotuspsychje> viking667: pulse worked before any time?
[04:14] <viking667> 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] <lotuspsychje> viking667: only on mplayer broken? or other apps aswell?
[04:15] <viking667> mpd
[04:15] <lotuspsychje> !info mpd
[04:15] <viking667> I haven't tested anything else.
[04:15] <lotuspsychje> !info mpd xenial
[04:15] <lotuspsychje> viking667: got this version?
[04:16] <viking667> yes.
[04:16] <lotuspsychje> viking667: did you try a reinstall perhaps?
[04:16] <viking667> reinstall of exactly what, though?
[04:16] <lotuspsychje> mpd
[04:16] <viking667> mplayer won't connect to the pulse server either
[04:17] <lotuspsychje> viking667: how about vlc, does that work can you try?
[04:17] <viking667> I'll give that a go. please bear with me.
[04:17] <lotuspsychje> sure
[04:18] <viking667> Output method is set to "Automatic"
[04:18] <viking667> Setting to "Pulseaudio" now.
[04:19] <viking667> yup. Works.
[04:19] <viking667> ... strange. Why doesn't mplayer work, then?
[04:20] <viking667> hm. Now it seems to work. Amazing what happens when I threaten the machine with a Windows install...
[04:20] <lotuspsychje> viking667: not sure, you can launch mplayer from terminal perhaps for more errors
[04:21] <viking667> mplayer's working fine, at least now.
[04:21] <lotuspsychje> kk
[04:22] <lotuspsychje> !yay | viking667
[04:22] <viking667> not yet, I haven't. I need mpd to start working.
[04:23] <lotuspsychje> viking667: try reinstall of mpd
[04:23] <viking667> sigh.
[04:24] <viking667> how do I reinstall something, again? apt-get --install --reinstall  ...?
[04:24] <lotuspsychje> viking667: sudo apt purge mpd
[04:24] <viking667> ugh. I'd prodded the conf file, I'll have to set that aside.
[04:25] <lotuspsychje> viking667: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1825023
[04:26] <viking667> wow. When did apt get this colour interface? I usually only use apt-get and apt-cach
[04:26] <lotuspsychje> viking667: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MPD
[04:26] <viking667> err, cache
[04:26] <lotuspsychje> viking667: on xenial you can use apt install package instead of apt-get
[04:27] <viking667> ahh. That's new to me.
[04:27] <lotuspsychje> viking667: overlook your conf on the ubuntu mpd page ok
[04:28] <yao_ziyuan> how do i install the wingdings fonts on ubuntu?
[04:28] <viking667> Yep. I'm just doing a diff between the two conf files now.
[04:31]  * viking667 scratches his head... this is different...
[04:33] <viking667> README.Debian mutters something about a ~/.mpdconf and starting it up as a user. Oh, and disabling it in systemd.
[04:38] <viking667> ... which it looks like I already did that some time in the past.
[04:50] <viking667> hm.
[04:53] <viking667> Okay. I'm out of here while I figure out why mpc won't connect to mpd.
[04:53] <viking667> Thanks for the help.

[06:28] <greydawg> guys
[06:28] <greydawg> I'm trying to do git push
[06:28] <greydawg> or git fetch
[06:28] <greydawg> but it stalls with no error
[06:29] <greydawg> any idea on where to look for what's wrong
[06:29] <Matsu> stash updates, clone repo to another directory, copy there
[06:29] <Matsu> \/s
[06:30] <greydawg> @matsu updates to what?
[06:30] <greydawg> matsu: updates to what?
[06:33] <Alsophila> Anyone can tell me the hotkey to switch input language?
[06:33] <Matsu> I meant that if u have changed since last push
[06:33] <Matsu> Also it was a joke
[06:35] <Alsophila> Everytime I use my mouse to switch it but I want a hotkey...
[06:38] <Matsu> Alsophila: what platform
[06:38] <Matsu> on windows, doesn't left-alt + shift do the thing?
[06:39] <Matsu> Or do I remember wrong
[06:39] <Alsophila> Just about Ubuntu...
[06:39] <greydawg> it's ubuntu
[06:39] <greydawg> 17.04
[06:39] <greydawg> I installed the new git update
[06:39] <greydawg> although it works with https
[06:39] <greydawg> but ssh is more elegant
[06:41] <ducasse> Alsophila: which release is this?
[06:42] <Alsophila> ducasse:Ubuntu Studio 16.04
[06:42] <Matsu> super + space
[06:42] <greydawg> ducasse, new current one git ubuntu repos
[06:42] <Matsu> should work
[06:42] <Matsu> On ubuntu

[06:42] <greydawg> Matsu, yes that should work
[06:42] <greydawg> I use dvorak and us and deutsch
[06:42] <greydawg> works charms for me
[06:44] <ducasse> Alsophila: that should be switchable in the settings, i don't remember if it's under language or keyboard - check both
[06:46] <Alsophila> OK It's super+space! It works! Thank you!

[07:29] <gnomethrower> but it appears to get stuck on "Creating SSL certificates for sendmail"
[07:29] <gnomethrower> it's on a t2.medium AWS instance using the official Ubuntu images
[07:31] <gnomethrower> this AskUbuntu post seems to have a solution: https://askubuntu.com/questions/937666/ubuntu-16-04-command-line-sendmail-installation-hanged
[07:31] <gnomethrower> I just don't know how clean that solution is and would rather not have to run it if it's solvable another way
[07:54] <ivan> hi, does anyone know what I have to patch to be able to read a filename with a colon character when using mount -t cifs (xenial) to a samba server on xenial? mangling is already off on the samba server, but something either remaps : or tries to read it as an ADS
[08:01] <Ben64> ivan: i don't think ubuntu cares if there are colons in the file name
[08:01] <ivan> Ben64: fs/cifs or samba does
[08:02] <Ben64> nope
[08:03] <ivan> # ls -l 2> /dev/null | grep 1505814645.11612_71.ra,U=71:2,S
[08:03] <ivan> -rw------- 1 at at    349 2017-09-19 09:50 1505814645.11612_71.ra,U=71:2,S
[08:03] <ivan> # cat '1505814645.11612_71.ra,U=71:2,S'
[08:03] <ivan> cat: '1505814645.11612_71.ra,U=71:2,S': No such file or directory
[08:07] <ivan> ah I see something is converting the : character to U+F022 (you can touch a file with : and the server will get one of those)
[08:08] <Ben64> i can see my test:file and cat it
[08:08] <Ben64> so ....
[08:10] <ivan> Ben64: are you on xenial? did you make that file on the server and then cat it on the client?
[08:10] <Ben64> no; yes
[08:21] <swift110-phone> hey
[08:23] <skjoedt> NFS issue: Files from one user on a client nfs mount comes up as 'nobody' (uid 65534). All other users' files are shown correctly. Is there a way to refresh nfsidmap for a single user? service idmapd restart doesn't work. I'm unable to remount or reboot.
[08:25] <skjoedt> Related syslog message:  --- nfsidmap[3590]: nss_getpwnam: name 'jkgm' not found in domain 'local' --- The issue occured after I removed/readded the user on the client (no ldap)
[08:26] <ivan> alright after reading the fs/cifs code I have figured out that I just need to add the mount option nomapposix
[08:28] <hargut> Hello.
[08:29] <hargut> Coming from the RedHat world, is there anything equivalent similar to authconfig for managing /etc/pam.d/ and /etc/nsswitch.conf?
[08:30] <mas886> Hello, I got a question. If I download ubuntu 17.10, will it update to the stable version once it's released?
[08:34] <sirru5h> Hello Everyone
[09:26] <multifractal> I've been having a lot of trouble with my touchpad, 16.04 Dell 9365 (XPS13). 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] <multifractal> 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] <multifractal> Maybe someone can tell me the default touchpad driver so I can reinstall that?
[09:34] <multifractal> It's called synaptics?
[09:34] <multifractal> Not to be confused with synaptic?
[09:38] <gnomethrower> multifractal: I think correct
[09:39] <gnomethrower> just "synaptic" is a GUI for Apt, called Synaptic Package Manager
[09:39] <gnomethrower> which I think is deprecated?
[09:39] <gnomethrower> (or at least, replaced by Ubuntu Software Center
[09:42] <multifractal> https://imagebin.ca/v/3bhjE2RNN6oE Why do my settings look like this?
[09:48] <multifractal> Well... if anybody gives a goddamn: `sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-input-libinput` solved the problem.
[09:49] <jink> multifractal: (Y)
[09:49] <gnomethrower> multifractal: Awesome. Thanks for letting us know
[09:50] <multifractal> 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] <gnomethrower> :(
[09:56] <gnomethrower> multifractal: Hopefully this isn't a stupid question
[09:56] <gnomethrower> can you ask Dell for support?
[10:00] <multifractal> Nope they wash their hands of anything ubuntu related.
[10:00] <multifractal> you'll be talking to a dial tone if you mention linux.
[10:05] <dekatch> 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] <Mr_Pan> dekatch, open Terminal ... sudo apt remove -purge <application>
[10:06] <multifractal> dekatach: I think you can sudo-apt get remove...
[10:06] <multifractal> beat me to it
[10:06] <Tin_man> might have to get out of the store, and then go back in, it should reset..
[10:07] <dekatch> alright.
[10:07]  * multifractal would never want to uninstall glorious audacity anyway
[10:08] <dekatch> yea its just i installed it on accident
[10:08] <dekatch> on a pretty tight drive here 9GB xd
[10:09] <dekatch> 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] <dekatch> seems very neat :) ubuntu ftq
[10:10] <dekatch> ftw
[10:12] <Tin_man> dekatch, you mean 9gb left after the install?
[10:12] <dekatch> no, actually i mean 10GB total. 1gb swap, 9gb rest of it
[10:12] <dekatch> i will probably change that
[10:13] <Tin_man> wow that's about the min.
[10:13] <dekatch> 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] <Tin_man> i use both. A lot of people do.
[10:15] <dekatch> but everything runs out of the box. thats neat
[10:16] <Tin_man> don't know if you seen it, but in the Store you can view all the "Installed" programs.
[10:16] <dekatch> 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] <dekatch> i had to install 3rd party apps to do it
[10:17] <dekatch> Tin_man, i checked there twice and tripple. audacity wasnt listed
[10:17] <Tin_man> no i don't think it's a default program.
[10:17] <dekatch> software center also only offered the "install" option again after i installed
[10:17] <Tin_man> not on my install anyway
[10:18] <Tin_man> as i said, it gets confused sometimes..
[10:18] <trijntje_> 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] <dekatch> i really miss foobar2000
[10:19] <azaki> trijntje_: pretty sure it looks at the filesystem, given how fast it is when scanning multiple directories =o
[10:19] <dekatch> just the best app ever on windws.
[10:20] <dekatch> an audioplayer
[10:20] <azaki> media players is the one thing we have no shortage of in linux.. =p
[10:21] <dekatch> yea. but none is like foobar2000 :)
[10:21] <Tin_man> never used, or heard of foobar2000, but i'm in the older generation of life, so no not surprising.
[10:21] <hateball> It is a rather modular player, and I guess there is no direct counterpart
[10:21] <hateball> It runs well (or at least used to) in WINE tho
[10:22] <hateball> dekatch: If you havent already, you might want to have a look at Clementine
[10:22] <Tin_man> normally just stream my music, don't have a large collection.
[10:22] <dekatch> yea was about to try them all i guess.
[10:24] <dekatch> what i need is a good library and an easy to create playlist section. like on the go
[10:24] <dekatch> manually creating playlists is keeping me from doing it as lazy as i am xx
[10:27] <kalcso> Why can't I switch into 2 different languages in unity?
[10:28] <bazhang> kalcso, you want to type in two languages mid sentence?
[10:29] <trijntje_> 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] <kalcso> 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] <bazhang> kalcso, via kb layout ibus or other
[10:31] <pandaadb> 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] <pandaadb> is this a known issue? Is there an easy workaround for that?
[10:31] <kalcso> languages indicator
[10:31] <azaki> trijntje_: a more general channel like #linux would be able to answer things like that better.
[10:31] <pandaadb> I am using ubuntu 16.04
[10:31] <hateball> dekatch: if you want extended library functions etc then amaroK is also good
[10:32] <bazhang> kalcso, I usually use ibus for that, set a ccertain key to switch between the two
[10:33] <kalcso> 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] <bazhang> kalcso, you are using ibus?
[10:34] <kalcso> bazhang, How can I get that?
[10:34] <bazhang> kalcso, same as other packages in ubuntu, install it
[10:35] <kalcso> How can I get that I'm using ibus
[10:35] <bazhang> kalcso, you would have downloaded it, configuerd it, added the appropriate language packs, then restarted it
[10:36] <bazhang> kalcso, did you do that
[10:36] <kalcso> I'm using ibus-setup in terminal.
[10:37] <bazhang> kalcso, thats just the very first step
[10:37] <bazhang> kalcso, no using it until you actually set it up
[10:38] <kalcso> ▶ ibus engine
[10:38] <kalcso> xkb:us::eng
[10:40] <kalcso> I guess it is installed by default
[10:40] <bazhang> kalcso, so you ran it, exited it, added the language packs, then resrtarted it?
[10:40] <bazhang> kalcso, that sounds like only the very first step
[10:41] <kalcso> I did it several times.
[10:42] <dekatch> clemtentine only lacks the feature to display the library sorted by folder structure. other than that i think ill stick to clementine hateball
[10:42] <bazhang> kalcso, you ran the first step several times?
[10:42] <dekatch> do you know of any modding site for clementine player? the offered option wont let me complete theme the player. just portion of it
[10:43] <kalcso> No, I just add new language by "Text entry settings".
[10:43] <kalcso> And switch into new language by pressing short-keys which I defined.
[10:43] <bazhang> which key did you set up as the switcher kalcso
[10:44] <kalcso> left shift + left alt.
[10:44] <bazhang> kalcso, and once all the language packs were added, you restarted ibus (not your computer)
[10:46] <kalcso> "ibus restart" command.
[10:46] <bazhang> kalcso, so can you tupe some russian here, to test it
[10:46] <kalcso> I don't know why short-keys not work in unity.
[10:47] <kalcso> Of course, I use top panel and click on new language that I want to use
[10:48] <bazhang> kalcso, could be you chose keys reserved for unity, I have been using ibus since before unity until now
[10:48] <kalcso> No it's ok in other users unity.
[10:49] <dekatch> or somebody any idea how i can change the color background from the media library? https://imgur.com/CrB6Auv
[10:49] <bazhang> kalcso, so switch up several variations on the key combo
[10:49] <dekatch> basically i want to theme the player darkgrey and white font
[10:50] <kalcso> bazhang, Is there any solution?
[10:50] <bazhang> dekatch, is that easily themable/skinnable such as audacious is
[10:51] <bazhang> kalcso, yes, ry some other kb combos
[10:51] <dekatch> bazhang, but not with offered options right?
[10:51] <bazhang> try
[10:51] <dekatch> did
[10:51] <dekatch> nvm ^^ you were auto correcting ...
[10:52] <kalcso> Few days ago I did use "Super+Space", that doesn't work too.
[10:52] <bazhang> dekatch, the best fully skinnalbe lightwight player is audacious that I know of
[10:52] <dekatch> yea and that lacks a media library it seems
[10:53] <bazhang> kalcso, just the one change around? try several options
[10:53] <kalcso> I did use left ctrl even
[10:53] <bazhang> kalcso, what version of gnome3 unity is this
[10:54] <kalcso> Latest one in zesty.
[10:55] <bazhang> Ubuntu 17.04 kalcso ?
[10:55] <kalcso> Yes dear.
[10:56] <bazhang> kalcso, eother you are using this concurrently with some other kb switcher, your choice of switcher keys is rserverd for unity, or you have a bug
[10:58] <kalcso> bazhang, so why is unity ok when I switch to the other users?
[10:58] <bazhang> sounds like a bug
[10:58] <bazhang> why not check the bug tracker and participate
[11:00] <kalcso> I don't think so, is there any way to view unity's configuration file?
[11:01] <bazhang> unity-tweak-tool
[11:01] <bazhang> give it a try
[11:02] <kalcso> I mean a .conf or .desktop file, to read configurations.
[11:03] <blackrabbit> hello
[11:03] <blackrabbit> can you guys help me, I just installed ubuntu on brand new computer
[11:04] <blackrabbit> there was already windows, but not fully installed yet. I reinstalled it with ubuntu, it said that I need to use UEFI legacy install, so I did
[11:05] <blackrabbit> now I can't boot into it "Error 1962: No Operating system found. Press any key to repeat boot sequence."
[11:05] <blackrabbit> tried installing grub using boot-repair, checked bios, seems like I can't disable UEFI, what should I do? google is not helping
[11:09] <NimeshNeema> Hi. Can anyone help with the release date for Ubuntu 17.10? Thanks.
[11:11] <glitsj16> NimeshNeema: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases mentions October, maybe people in #ubuntu+1 have a more specific date
[11:11] <worldsnuts> NimeshNeema: Oct 19th AFAIK
[11:26] <CountryfiedLinux> On this laptop there's no HDMI sound output. With Windows I get sound through my speakers plugged into the monitor. For Linux I have to plug the speakers into the laptop's audio jack. I have a Dell Inspiron 15 5555. Any suggestions?
[11:28] <ivan> CountryfiedLinux: use pavucontrol to switch output device
[11:28] <mcphail> CountryfiedLinux: what graphics card and drivers? The open source amd drivers don't give hdmi audio
[11:28] <ivan> (if it's there) output devices tab, then some unhelpful icon you have to click on the right
[11:30] <CountryfiedLinux> mcphail, My AMD defaults to amdgpu and not amdgpu-pro drivers, so I'll most likely just buy an Intel-based laptop and have Windows on my current one. Thanks.
[11:31] <mcphail> CountryfiedLinux: hdmi audio is on the roadmap, but isn't in the newest kernel
[11:32] <CountryfiedLinux> mcphail, Oh so it will be available in the near future?
[11:32] <dekatch> is aptitude still considered superior to apt ?
[11:33] <Ben64> dekatch: no
[11:34] <mcphail> CountryfiedLinux: who knows? i think everyone had been hoping the patches would have been merged a couple of kernels ago. they keep getting put back. Hopefully they'll be in an upstream kernel by end of year
[11:35] <dekatch> ok
[11:35] <dekatch> sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal
[11:35] <dekatch> LOL
[11:37] <CountryfiedLinux> Yeah mcphail hopefully.
[11:38] <CountryfiedLinux> I'll wait a few months to make that Intel laptop purchase. The way I see it is if I can't afford 10 of them I'm not gonna buy 1. Gotta have a lot of money in the bank account in case of emergencies.
[11:39] <BluesKaj> howdy folks
[11:39] <CountryfiedLinux> howdy BluesKaj
[11:39] <CountryfiedLinux> I don't think it's wise of me to spend more than 10% of my money on a new laptop, and I don't have that saved up quite yet.
[11:40] <BluesKaj> hi CountryfiedLinux
[11:40] <dekatch> people do it even when they dont have any money
[11:40] <CountryfiedLinux> dekatch, Oh like financing. Very unwise choice most of the time.
[11:40] <dekatch> guess you dont need that laptop that urgent. so why not. wait, save some more up
[11:42] <dekatch> its a win win. that particular model should get cheaper over time as well
[11:44] <avrdude> why does the iso file i downloaded say amd64 at the end?
[11:45] <ivan> that just means x86-64
[11:45] <avrdude> oh ok
[11:46] <hateball> CountryfiedLinux: do you get no video either, from the hdmi port?
[11:47] <hateball> I had this issue with an Intel machine of mine, it refuses to let me use HDMI for audio output unless I also output the video
[11:48] <CountryfiedLinux> hateball, I do get video, it's just HDMI output that isn't in the kernel for amdgpu drivers yet. I could use my laptop's audio jack though, but that seems like forced regression on my part.
[11:48] <hateball> CountryfiedLinux: Ah!
[11:48] <nocco> When running pycharm from the command line, the program exists if I close the terminal window. How do I get around this?
[11:49] <nocco> exists = shuts down (damn I'm tired
[11:50] <EriC^^> nocco: pycharm & disown
[11:51] <nocco> ErichEickmeyer: Many thanks! :)
[11:54] <nocco> I'm used to mac, where it does whatever disown does automatically. What is the single &-sign stands for?
[11:55] <BluesKaj> CountryfiedLinux, make sure your pcm is turned up and your spdif is enabled in alsamixer
[11:56] <CountryfiedLinux> BluesKaj, What does that do?
[11:57] <CountryfiedLinux> BluesKaj, I may test that in a live session if it's supposed to enable what the kernel doesn't provide for amdgpu drivers.
[11:57] <EriC^^> nocco: & is to background the process
[11:58] <BluesKaj> CountryfiedLinux, those are your digital sigmals and your media player uses them to transfer the audio to your hdmi audio out
[11:58] <BluesKaj> signals even
[11:59] <CountryfiedLinux> BluesKaj, Do you think it would be a good workaround?
[11:59] <nocco> Oh, i thought disown did that
[11:59] <nocco> EriC^^:
[11:59] <BluesKaj> it's not a workaround , thats how it works
[12:00] <CountryfiedLinux> BluesKaj, Would it work with amdgpu pro drivers?
[12:00] <BluesKaj> CountryfiedLinux, it depends on your audio driver  not the video driver
[12:01] <EriC^^> nocco: disown separates the process from the bash shell
[12:03] <CountryfiedLinux> BluesKaj, Would you be able to help me figure that out in about 10 minutes or so?
[12:05] <BluesKaj> CountryfiedLinux, I'll be here for the next hour or so
[12:06] <CountryfiedLinux> Ok thanks BluesKaj :D
[12:06] <CountryfiedLinux> I have Ubuntu writing to a usb stick now then I'll boot up the live session and come back here.
[12:07] <BluesKaj> fine
[12:12] <manuelschneid3r> how do I install the vboxapi?
[12:12] <manuelschneid3r> seems like ubuntu does not ship the sdk. does it at least ship vboxapisetup.py
[12:16] <ducasse> manuelschneid3r: it's not in any package in the repos afaict
[12:16] <manuelschneid3r> hard…
[12:16] <inflatus> manuelschneid3r have you tried using pip3 to install it?
[12:17] <manuelschneid3r> no but that would be nice and platformindependant
[12:17] <manuelschneid3r> whats the package?
[12:17] <cfhowlett> http://www.cesareriva.com/tag/how-to-install-vboxapi/ manuelschneid3r
[12:21] <manuelschneid3r> well I would have to get the sdk before though
[12:21] <manuelschneid3r> I am not sure if setting the vbox path to the binary makes much sense
[12:23] <albech> been trying to route traffic back through the interface where the connection is established on, but with no luck. I have a setup with three interfaces. eth0: internal network in the DC, eth1: external interface with static ip, tun0: vpn interface over eth1, which is used as default gw. I wish to route connections coming to eth1 back through eth1 and not via default gw. I have looked at https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/4420/reply-on-same-interface-as
[12:23] <inflatus> i do not know bit maybe pyvbox will help https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyvbox/1.2.0 > it seems to be the only one with some documentation
[12:23] <albech> but it isnt working as expected. not sure if rp_filter should be off for this, but i have already tried without success.
[12:24] <inflatus> "A complete implementation of the VirtualBox Main API"
[12:24] <manuelschneid3r> it not that I would use the pyhton api
[12:25] <manuelschneid3r> I want to use the c++ xpcom api
[12:25] <manuelschneid3r> but I need the headers and therefore the sdk to be installed
[12:26] <CountryfiedLinux> Hey BluesKaj I'm back.
[12:26] <ducasse> manuelschneid3r: try #vbox
[12:28] <CountryfiedLinux> BluesKaj: can you explain what you were talking about before?
[12:28] <BluesKaj> CountryfiedLinux, if you check your pavucontro you should be able to set your hdmi audio out there
[12:28] <BluesKaj> err pavucontrol
[12:29] <CountryfiedLinux> BluesKaj: HDMI is not listed in "playback".
[12:29] <CountryfiedLinux> BluesKaj: Testing with a random YouTube video.
[12:30] <BluesKaj> it should show in the drop bown'
[12:30] <BluesKaj> down
[12:31] <CountryfiedLinux> BluesKaj: Oh yeah, it's there. It's muted when I switch to it though.
[12:31] <CountryfiedLinux> I have the speakers plugged into the monitor.
[12:31] <BluesKaj> CountryfiedLinux, try an audio file from your pc or are you running a media live session ?
[12:32] <CountryfiedLinux> BluesKaj: live session. I'll try downloading something and play it.
[12:34] <BluesKaj> CountryfiedLinux, that's not the way to test hdmi, it might work with html5 or flash thru pulseaudio , but not directly from your pc
[12:34] <CountryfiedLinux> BluesKaj: I downloaded a .mp3 file and still muted in HDMI.
[12:34] <akik> CountryfiedLinux: try selecting hdmi in pavucontrol's configuration tab first
[12:35] <BluesKaj> you need to have a real installation on your hard drive anyway
[12:35] <BluesKaj> but I have to go ...bb in a couple of hrs
[12:36] <CountryfiedLinux> BluesKaj: I had it installed in the past and had the same issue when selecting HDMI. I think it's a kernel driver issue.
[12:36] <CountryfiedLinux> ok
[12:37] <dekatch> so i guess there is no option to display the startet menu on the bottom ?
[12:37] <dekatch> and kinda cut the edge. make it kinda floating?
[12:40] <dekatch> ah nvm that. google led me to a solution
[12:40] <AppAraat> hi, I think my /boot is full, so I can't autoremove stuff let alone install packages. I want to now try removing kernels manually but that also fails - https://bpaste.net/show/9a277eda4680 - so what is best practice in Ubuntu for manually removing older kernels?
[12:41] <cfhowlett> AppAraat, boot  an ubuntu USB, chroot to your installed system and remove the excess kernels.
[12:42] <AppAraat> cfhowlett: do I have to update-grub2 afterwards in the chrooted system?
[12:43] <ducasse> AppAraat: use 'dpkg -P' instead of 'apt purge'
[12:46] <fishcooker> how to force dim the screen light when on recovery mode
[12:47] <cfhowlett> AppAraat, updating grub is advised
[12:47] <AppAraat> ducasse: I tried but /boot is still at 100% - https://bpaste.net/show/3862200c624a
[12:47] <fishcooker> how to force dim the screen light when on recovery mode *then fn key doesn't work at all
[12:50] <unimatrix9> hi there
[12:52] <ducasse> AppAraat: see what is actually there, you might have been purging packages with only config left
[12:58] <blackrabbit> ubuntu installation is freezed on "Installing the 'grub2' package" for about 2 hours now
[12:58] <blackrabbit> can i shut down my pc?
[12:59] <dekatch> ubuntu install? or application install?
[12:59] <blackrabbit> Installing ubuntu on new pc
[12:59] <blackrabbit> from live usb flash
[12:59] <dekatch> just installed 16.04 yesterday via usb2 extrnal drive
[13:00] <dekatch> took only about 10 minutes
[13:00] <dekatch> so i would just restart and start over
[13:00] <blackrabbit> yeah in in loop somehow
[13:00] <AppAraat> ducasse: I see a bunch of initrd images taking most of the space: https://bpaste.net/show/5393df2be4a0 - and when I try to remove the older kernels it complains because of missing deps.
[13:01] <unimatrix9> how can i get firefox to use libpepflashplayer instead of flash ...  .so
[13:03] <ducasse> AppAraat: try removing the remaining 4.8 kernels, for example
[13:03] <AppAraat> ducasse: I tried, see the bottom of that paste. Or do you mean another approach?
[13:06] <ducasse> AppAraat: just put the linux-image-extra... package on the same line, you can list more than one package at once
[13:16] <ducasse> AppAraat: btw, remember to also remove headers, or you will eventually run out of inodes on your root fs
[13:17] <danezi> Hi. Can anyone help me setting Samba up? Reboot causes shares to disable....
[13:20] <blackrabbit> I am getting this erro https://pastebin.com/1N3RsDt3
[13:20] <blackrabbit> not able to install ubuntu at all, google is not helping
[13:21] <blackrabbit> is there possibility that my usb flashdisk is broken?
[13:21] <zarzar1> can i install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi 4.9 using apt-get? if so how? i tried sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.9 but unable to locate package
[13:22] <EriC^^> blackrabbit: did you md5sum the iso?
[13:22] <blackrabbit> going to check it now
[13:22] <EriC^^> !hashes > blackrabbit
[13:23] <blackrabbit> 0d9fe8e1ea408a5895cbbe3431989295
[13:23] <EriC^^> check the link the bot gave you for the hashes
[13:24] <blackrabbit> yeah hash is good
[13:24] <blackrabbit> 0d9fe8e1ea408a5895cbbe3431989295 *ubuntu-16.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso
[13:24] <blackrabbit> I have installed it first time, but I somehow screwed UEFI/legacy/boot, error message was "Error 1962: No Operating system found. Press any key to repeat boot sequence."
[13:25] <blackrabbit> so I tried to reinstall it again and now I can't get pass the "Installing 'grub2' package"
[13:25] <ducasse> zarzar1: for trusty the available version is 4.8.2-1, package gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf
[13:25] <Tin_man> zarzar1, try this link >> https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14921463/how-to-install-cross-compiler-on-ubuntu-12-04-lts-for-microprocessor-sa1100
[13:25] <EriC^^> blackrabbit: try to install grub manually later, launch the installer with ubiquity -b for no bootloader installation
[13:26] <zarzar1> found it: https://www.howtoinstall.co/en/ubuntu/xenial/gcc-4.9-arm-linux-gnueabi i was adding 4.9 to end like gcc, was not correct
[13:26] <zarzar1> do i need to install 4.9 binutils or assembler seperately?
[13:26] <blackrabbit> EriC^^, thank, will try it
[13:26] <EriC^^> blackrabbit: what is the partition layout and mode you're installing in? pastebin "ls /sys/firmware/efi && sudo parted -l"
[13:27] <blackrabbit> wait I will check it, it's brand new PC
[13:27] <danezi> So any help with setting up samba would be appreciated. Like I stated before, shares get disabled after reboot so maybe I just have to set samba to autostart but after trying different solutions found online the problem is still the same.
[13:28] <d_1_stortion> Just want to say to that person who yesterday was helping me with ubuntu mate sleep problem. I managed to fix it. It somehow helped to restore BIOS settings. Now it works
[13:30] <akik> danezi: do you mean smbd starts upon reboot but stops after that? "journalctl -u smbd"
[13:30] <blackrabbit> EriC^^, http://paste.ubuntu.com/25620610/
[13:31] <zarzar1> ducasse Tin_man i installed but now i cannot find the install location
[13:31] <EriC^^> blackrabbit: everything looks good
[13:31] <ducasse> zarzar1: dpkg -L gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf
[13:31] <blackrabbit> EriC^^, the problem is that when I first started, there was windows 7 installed
[13:32] <blackrabbit> ubuntu asked me something about legacy or UEFI while installation
[13:32] <EriC^^> blackrabbit: reinstall again using ubiquity -b using the same technique you were already, and then boot the live usb and you can install grub manually
[13:33] <EriC^^> blackrabbit: no problem, if you want you could zero the first start of the disk and make a fresh partition table too
[13:33] <blackrabbit> how I start installation from terminal?
[13:33] <EriC^^> blackrabbit: "type ubiquity -b"
[13:33] <EriC^^> blackrabbit: type "ubiquity -b"
[13:33] <zarzar1> ducasse i tried update alternatives query but no alternatives found
[13:34] <zarzar1> ducasse dpkg -L gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf did not show alternative versions that i can see
[13:34] <blackrabbit> EriC^^, ohh thank you, I thought that ubiquity is some wifi driver or something lol
[13:35] <ducasse> zarzar1: it shows where the package was installed, which is what you asked for
[13:36] <zarzar1> ducasse i already had a version installed
[13:36] <zarzar1> ducasse 5.4 was installed, wanted to add 4.9
[13:37] <ducasse> zarzar1: is 5.4 installed through apt?
[13:37] <zarzar1> ducasse yes through apt-get, i want a side by side
[13:38] <zarzar1> looks like 4.9 did not actually install
[13:38] <dziegler> Hi, i have a quick question, i need to run a curl request inside of my debian/ruls file inside of pbuilder. But i always run into some dns resolve issues or connection issues. Is the network inside of pbuilder restricted? If i run "pbuilder-dist trusty login" it is working perfectly
[13:43] <ducasse> zarzar1: either that, or it replaced 5.4. if the package has no version suffix you can probably only install one at a time
[13:44] <zarzar1> ducasse it did not replace, all the installed versions that i can find report v 5.4
[13:48] <zarzar1> ducasse it is in the apt-cache but not installed
[13:49] <ducasse> zarzar1: what does 'apt-cache policy gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf' say?
[13:50] <blackrabbit> ohh fuck me
[13:51] <blackrabbit> is it possible that ubuntu is installed without vga driver?
[13:51] <zarzar1> ducasse i was searching for arm-linux-gnueabihf
[13:51] <zarzar1>  but i had installed 4.9-arm-linux-gnueabi
[13:51] <ducasse> blackrabbit: watch the language, please
[13:51] <blackrabbit> ducasse, srry just trying to install ubuntu for almost 4 hours now
[13:52] <leftyfb> blackrabbit: what version are you trying to install? How are you trying to install it? What is the name of the iso you're using and where did you get it? What hardware is it being installed on?
[13:54] <AppAraat> ducasse: thanks, that worked. I removed all but the recent 4.8.0 kernel (partly because ping makes CPU go 100% on newer kernels, but that's a different issue :p)
[13:54] <|Night|> not sure if my system is strange or filesystem curruped .p I have an 8 exobyte file on a 2TB hdd :p
[13:54] <|Night|> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8589934590G mars 5 2014
[13:54] <leftyfb> blackrabbit: scratch some of those questions, I just joined and scrolled up. Personally, I would enable legacy mode/disable EFI/secureboot and do the legacy installation of ubuntu.
[13:55] <blackrabbit> it's retro PC, have problems with UEFI and default installation. AMD Athlon II B26 3.2 GHz, 8192 MB, 250 GB HDD, DVD-RW, ATI Radeon HD4250
[13:55] <blackrabbit> leftyfb, I can't see anything related in bios :(
[13:55] <zarzar1> ducasse so i think it installed, i need to switch it to system default arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc
[13:55] <zarzar1>  and arm-linux-gnueabihf
[13:55] <zarzar1> -g++
[13:55] <leftyfb> blackrabbit: read the documentation on your pc to get into the BIOS
[13:56] <zarzar1> sorry for the multi line
[13:56] <blackrabbit> leftyfb, I was in bios, but didn't see anything
[13:57] <leftyfb> blackrabbit: read the documentation on your pc to find out where to disable EFI/secureboot
[13:58] <dekatch> blackrabbit, good chance your mainboard doesnt have that feature
[13:59] <dekatch> you can figure that out by install hwinfo afaik
[14:02] <dekatch> oh that requires to have a working OS on that system. oh just forget what i said .....
[14:02] <dekatch> read the documentation instead :P
[14:03] <AppAraat> are kernels 4.10.0-27-generic to 4.10.0-33-generic not marked as removable? If I do apt autoremove it lists only 4.8.* kernels for removal.
[14:07] <ducasse> AppAraat: it depends on what kkernels you have actually booted etc, but they will be marked for autoremove eventually
[14:07] <ducasse> *kernels
[14:10] <AppAraat> ducasse: I see, so would it be safe bet to remove all (or most) older kernels than I am currently booted in? (4.10.0-32-generic)
[14:10] <AppAraat> it's just that I want to leave only the one 4.8 kernel
[14:12] <ducasse> AppAraat: i always keep at least two known working kernels, if there is one you want to keep you can mark it as manually installed. then autoremove won't touch it.
[14:21] <_TheDude> anyone figure out how to get iphone to mount with latest ios?  I can't get pics off my phone anymore
[14:22] <dziegler> _TheDude: maybe there is a better solution, but i use Nextcloud to keep my iPhone in sync^^
[14:23] <AppAraat> ducasse: I marked those kernels, thanks. Primary concern is space, so I just removed some of the older 4.10 kernels even though they weren't marked for autoremove yet (and afterwards I did update-grub2)
[14:23] <ducasse> _TheDude: that will probably require an upgraded libimobiledevice, apple knowingly screws things up on every ios upgrade
[14:24] <_TheDude> nextcloud is pretty cool
[14:24] <zarzar1> to change gcc version between alternatives on my ubuntu machine should i just update the symbolic link or use update-alternatives?
[14:25] <_TheDude> But I dont' want my data public
[14:25] <JediMaster> hi, is it possible to allow a non privileged user access to another user's crontab (e.g. www-data)?
[14:25] <AppAraat> _TheDude: so whitelist only your devices
[14:25] <JediMaster> e.g. to allow them to do "crontab -e -u www-data" without giving them sudo access to root?
[14:26] <AppAraat> JediMaster: put the non-priviledge user in a group that can modify www-data
[14:26] <ivan> _TheDude: I use windows 8.1 or 10 in vmware workstation :(
[14:26] <JediMaster> AppAraat, I've put it in the www-data group but it insists you have to be root to run that
[14:27] <AppAraat> perhaps it's being blocked by AppArmor
[14:27] <JediMaster> "must be privileged to use -u"
[14:27] <_TheDude> Yeah I do have a windows VM I could hook into .. why didn ti think of that..
[14:27] <_TheDude> workstation though sucks the cpu will go to 100% even when I'm not doing anything in VM or linux.  With i7 and 32Gb of ram.  So I don't use it often
[14:28] <_TheDude> Still it did work I could import all the pics directly before .. just wondering if anyone had found any sort of fix for the latest ios lately
[14:29] <ducasse> _TheDude: you need to wait for that library to be updated, and then find a ppa for your release
[14:30] <_TheDude> anyone use this before?  I was going to give it a shot http://www.libimobiledevice.org/
[14:30] <ducasse> _TheDude: that's the one i was talking about, yes
[14:42] <zarzar1> ducasse: i'm getting an assembler not found error after installing an older version of arm-linux-gnueabihf: /bin/sh: 1: arm-linux-gnueabihf-as-4.9: not found
[14:45] <MrCrackPotBuilde> Just wondering is there any other fingerprint software for linux other than fingerprint-GUI its a really good piece of software but security wise its very poor
[14:47] <blackrabbit> ok seems like I can't disable secure boot
[14:47] <meandrain> hi. Any idea how to check if an IP is blocked in iptables by searching in all tables ?
[14:48] <MrCrackPotBuilde> blackrabbit what computer do you have
[14:48] <blackrabbit> MrCrackPotBuilde, thinkcentre M77
[14:49] <MrCrackPotBuilde> it should be on your security tab inside bios
[14:50] <pavlos> meandrain: iptables -L INPUT -v -n | grep "1.2.3.4"
[14:50] <unknown-os> meandrain: iptalbes -L |grep IP
[14:51] <meandrain> unknown-os: thanx
[14:51] <unknown-os> correct to iptables
[14:51] <unknown-os> :)
[14:52] <feliwir> hey, when i install a ubuntu 17.10 daily build now
[14:52] <feliwir> can i upgrade to release when it's out?
[14:52] <MrCrackPotBuilde> blackrabbit make sure aswell that the label is less than 11 chars
[14:53] <unknown-os> feliwir: apt-get dist-ipgrade
[14:53] <feliwir> unknown-os, is that a yes?
[14:53] <nacc> feliwir: yes, just like normal (sudo apt update; sudo apt full-upgrade regularly)
[14:54] <feliwir> okay, thanks guys
[14:54] <nacc> feliwir: a daily build is just that, a daily build
[14:54] <blackrabbit> MrCrackPotBuilde, which label?
[14:54] <feliwir> because i just broke my 17.04 again
[14:54] <feliwir> so i can do a fresh 17.10 now
[14:54] <MrCrackPotBuilde> blackrabbit make sure uefi is enable
[14:55] <MrCrackPotBuilde> should all be inside the security tab
[14:55] <blackrabbit> well, it's not
[14:55] <blackrabbit> but I think that uefi is enabled, I want to turn it off
[14:56] <unknown-os> blackrabbit: u can put off uefi if u don't want
[14:56] <leftyfb> feliwir: 17.10 isn't released yet
[14:56] <MrCrackPotBuilde> he needs it
[14:57] <feliwir> leftyfb, daily builds
[14:57] <MrCrackPotBuilde> check out this page blackrabbit http://archive.is/F6F8P
[14:57] <unknown-os> leftyfb: XX.10 never be a LTS
[14:57] <leftyfb> MrCrackPotBuilde: negative. UEFI is not necessary to install and run Ubuntu
[14:57] <blackrabbit> there was windows 7 preinstaled
[14:58] <blackrabbit> I installed ubuntu over it, but I am unable to install grub
[14:58] <dziegler> Is there an alternative for pbuilder's --use-network in Ubuntu Xenial? The option is missing...
[14:59] <MrCrackPotBuilde> ah my bad but why do you want grub ???
[14:59] <MrCrackPotBuilde> i use ubuntu without it and its fine
[14:59] <unknown-os> blackrabbit: disable secure boot when u install ubuntu
[14:59] <MrCrackPotBuilde> only use grub when i want to dual boot
[14:59] <leftyfb> MrCrackPotBuilde: because it's default, easy and standard
[15:00] <blackrabbit> I don't have dual boot
[15:00] <unknown-os> good way is LILO for alternative
[15:00] <blackrabbit> I erased win7 and trying to install ubuntu as only system
[15:00] <d_1_stortion> but why
[15:00] <MrCrackPotBuilde> this video is a bit annoying but it should be the same as your bios
[15:00] <MrCrackPotBuilde> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4uF_jUl2E8
[15:00] <MrCrackPotBuilde> on the security tab its there at the bottom
[15:01] <blackrabbit> MrCrackPotBuilde, yeah it's my bios
[15:01] <unknown-os> blackrabbit: when u install Ubuntu 2nd system then linux crash MBR Windows..
[15:01] <blackrabbit> I clicked erase disk and install ubuntu option
[15:01] <MrCrackPotBuilde> then whats the problem
[15:01] <MrCrackPotBuilde> did ubuntu install
[15:02] <leftyfb> unknown-os: Ubuntu doesn't "crash MBR Windows". It overrides the MBR with GRUB because Windows doesn't recognize other operating systems and does not allow dual boot with it's own boot loader.
[15:02] <blackrabbit> MrCrackPotBuilde, I have no "secure boot" option under the "System event log"
[15:02] <MrCrackPotBuilde> not system even log
[15:02] <zarzar2> package gcc-4.9-arm-linux-gnueabihf does not include and assembler, do i need to install the binutils seperately? https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/amd64/gcc-4.9-arm-linux-gnueabihf/filelist
[15:02] <MrCrackPotBuilde> security tab
[15:02] <MrCrackPotBuilde> the tab for security
[15:03] <blackrabbit> there is no secure boot option
[15:03] <unknown-os> heh bootrec.exe /fixboot and bootrec.exe /fixmbr on rescure Windows mode
[15:03] <blackrabbit> I already installed ubuntu twice, but can't boot into it
[15:03] <Devon> Is this the best place to ask how to install Qt 5.6 under 16.04 LTS where apt offers only 5.5?
[15:03] <MrCrackPotBuilde> devon
[15:03] <unknown-os> leftyfb: true:) When install Windows for 2nd system then your mbr crash
[15:03] <MrCrackPotBuilde> best to download the online installer
[15:03] <blackrabbit> everytime I will get "there is no OS installed" error
[15:04] <MrCrackPotBuilde> then follow instructions oh make sure you install the dependancies other wise when you build your project you get missing lgl error
[15:04] <leftyfb> blackrabbit: your life will be much easier if you disable EFI and put it into legacy mode and disable secureboot if you can. Then you'll more than likely not have anymore problems
[15:04] <MrCrackPotBuilde> leftyfb problem is he cant find secure boot
[15:04] <blackrabbit> I'm not blind, it's not there anywhere
[15:04] <MrCrackPotBuilde> maybe should update your bios if its really not there
[15:04] <leftyfb> unknown-os: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
[15:05] <blackrabbit> I can see BIOS data 9/25/2012
[15:05] <blackrabbit> *date
[15:05] <unknown-os> blackrabbit: is normal becouse probably u boot on ms-dos/ntfs uefi partition from windows
[15:05] <Devon> I've been warned the raw Qt installer will break the package system.
[15:05] <unknown-os> then u must fixboot and fixmbr
[15:05] <MrCrackPotBuilde> devon no it doesnt
[15:06] <MrCrackPotBuilde> i dev with qt and have just this morning installed it on this comp
[15:06] <MrCrackPotBuilde> the biggest problem you face is the build error
[15:06] <blackrabbit> unknown-os, yeah there was win7, but not fully installed yet. I just restarted it and run ubuntu install over it
[15:06] <MrCrackPotBuilde> the installation doesnt auto install the right dependacies for gui builds
[15:08] <unknown-os> backnforth: and u boot from partition ubuntu or windows uefi? and what is mean not fully installed?
[15:08] <unknown-os> u install powershell and ms-dos only?
[15:08] <leftyfb> unknown-os: I do not think you're helping. I think you are making things more confusion.
[15:08] <leftyfb> confusing*
[15:08] <nacc> Devon: you don't?
[15:09] <d_1_stortion> what's the problem here?
[15:09] <leftyfb> unknown-os: blackrabbit is trying to install Ubuntu. There is no Windows. There is no powershell. There is no MS-DOS. There is no fixmbr. blackrabbit does not want any of these things. You are trying to fix/troubleshoot Windows and that is not the case here.
[15:10] <MrCrackPotBuilde> blackrabbit my advice carefully go through your bios and search bit by bit
[15:10] <unknown-os> leftyfb: :)
[15:10] <leftyfb> MrCrackPotBuilde: +1
[15:10] <d_1_stortion> leftyfb, this make no sense
[15:10] <MrCrackPotBuilde> try to enable legacy as leftyfb mentioned or try to see if there is a secure boot
[15:11] <blackrabbit> I basically have pc without any OS and bios without UEFI option
[15:11] <MrCrackPotBuilde> but if you can boot and install from usb with secure boot on and wipe windows it may mean its already off
[15:11] <d_1_stortion> then install in legacyx
[15:11] <d_1_stortion> legacy*
[15:11] <blackrabbit> and secure boot is enabled
[15:11] <MrCrackPotBuilde> try as d_1_Stortion says
[15:11] <d_1_stortion> if it's an old computer
[15:12] <blackrabbit> win is already wiped, because ubuntu is installed twice already
[15:12] <Devon> MrCrackPotBuilde:  I'm trying to find an installer at http://Qt.io but they're trying to confuse me.
[15:12] <MrCrackPotBuilde> its not
[15:12] <d_1_stortion> you wont need a 2TB+ partition supoort
[15:12] <MrCrackPotBuilde> devon one sec i will find for you
[15:12] <MrCrackPotBuilde> have it book marked
[15:12] <ghost-287> hello, any image editor that allow us to blur ...
[15:12] <nacc> zarzar2: binutils-arm-linux-gnueabihf
[15:13] <MrCrackPotBuilde> ghost use gimp
[15:13] <nacc> Devon: if you really need a newer Qt, use a newer Ubuntu (or I would suggest a VM or container)
[15:13] <d_1_stortion> ghost-287, GIMP?
[15:13] <zarzar2> nacc: yes, i think the right version is installed for the version of cross gcc g++
[15:13] <ghost-287> no alternative ?
[15:14] <zarzar2> nacc: binutils is 2.26.1, seems right for gcc-4.9-arm-linux-gnueabihf g++-4.9-arm-linux-gnueabihf
[15:14] <d_1_stortion> convert /file.png -blur 0x5 /blurredfile.png
[15:14] <nacc> zarzar2: yes, you need the one from the above package for those compilers
[15:14] <MrCrackPotBuilde> Devon https://info.qt.io/download-qt-for-application-development
[15:14] <MrCrackPotBuilde> choose the open source version
[15:15] <MrCrackPotBuilde> then after the install like i said you need to install the dev tools
[15:15] <MrCrackPotBuilde> ill try to find them again for you
[15:15] <Devon> nacc: Can I discover what Qt version Ubuntu 17 has without installing the whole new OS?
[15:15] <zarzar2> nacc: thanks, i was not sure if it always installed
[15:15] <nacc> MrCrackPotBuilde: Devon: this seems like better support done in a qt channel, as what you're doing is not supported here
[15:16] <nacc> Devon: in this channel, !info <pkgname> zesty. Or use artful to test what's in the latest (17 isn't a version)
[15:16] <d_1_stortion> ghost-287, did you tried that?
[15:17] <MrCrackPotBuilde> Devon i pmd you
[15:17] <ghost-287> bad pc so need light tool
[15:18] <d_1_stortion> well that command blures whole image
[15:18] <d_1_stortion> is that what you want?
[15:18] <MrCrackPotBuilde> back to my question earlier hahaha anyone know of good fingerprint software other than fingerprint-gui
[15:18] <MrCrackPotBuilde> for ubuntu 16.04
[15:19] <zarzar2> nacc: to change arm-linux-gnueabihf between alternatives on my ubuntu machine should i just update the symbolic link or use update-alternatives?
[15:19] <pavlos> ghost-287: there is mypaint for ubuntu, not sure if it can blur
[15:19] <nacc> zarzar2: i don't know, i doubt you want to change your default gcc
[15:19] <d_1_stortion> but GIMP runs on everything, it's not a heavy program afaik
[15:20] <nacc> zarzar2: typically you set a CROSS_ env variable
[15:20] <zarzar2> nacc: cross arm-linux-gnueabihf
[15:20] <zarzar2> nacc: oh ok, is update-alternatives only for gcc naitve?
[15:20] <nacc> zarzar2: i mean update-alternatives changes your gcc
[15:20] <nacc> that's not wha tyou want
[15:21] <zarzar2> nacc: i already have my eclipse projects sorted out, but the system arm-linux-gnueabihf-g** are not yet updated
[15:22] <zarzar2> nacc: i can update sym links but also saw posts about using update-alternatives (posts were for gcc native)
[15:28] <Richard_Cavell_> Does Ubuntu support GTK, and or GTK+ ?  I'm on ubuntu 16.04 with MATE
[15:29] <Menzador> We support GTK+ 3, which is what MATE is made of
[15:30] <Menzador> GTK+ 2 is available as well but it's no longer maintained
[15:46] <MrCrackPotBuilde> anyone know where the files are for system info like CPU Temp GPU Temp Memory usage etc i read proc has it but i cant seem to find it
[15:49] <DeeJayTwo> hi
[15:50] <leftyfb> MrCrackPotBuilde: you'll probably want to look in /sys/class/. Though there are utilities for all of this. Like lshw, dmidecode and lmsensors
[15:52] <MrCrackPotBuilde> trying to build my own widget
[15:52] <MrCrackPotBuilde> seems not many people know of any librarys in C++ to access this info
[15:52] <MrCrackPotBuilde> so thought why not try to open files already there and just import the info
[15:54] <DannyB> Hey quick newbie question.  How can I set hotkeys in ubuntu to start-stop my own user-created bash script?
[15:54] <Menzador> Depends on your desktop environment or window manager.
[15:55] <yeeve> DannyB, there's a few different ways. Are you using Ubuntu/Gnome?
[15:55] <DannyB> Yes.  And I have the script made and path and all that.  So really just a way to execute a terminal command, /PATH/script.c
[15:55] <MrCrackPotBuilde> you could link the script to a hotkey in system setting
[15:56] <MrCrackPotBuilde> in keyboard shortcuts then in the command section just type gnome-terminal -e "path"
[15:56] <yeeve> DannyB, In Gnome you can use your "Keyboard" app Shortcuts. Just put the full/absolute path to the script as the "command" and set your key-combo to trigger it
[15:56] <MrCrackPotBuilde> i use my way a lot for my python scripts
[15:57] <DannyB> Ah, "Keyboard".  Yeah I was looking for a shortcuts menu, didn't think to look there
[15:57] <superherointj> Every .dev package I download opens in Ubuntu Software GUI and shows an 'Install' button but on clicking on it, it does nothing. I am using Ubuntu 17.04. Just installed it.
[15:57] <superherointj> *.deb - sorry
[15:57] <pavlos> MrCrackPotBuilde: https://askubuntu.com/questions/15832/how-do-i-get-the-cpu-temperature/628124
[15:57] <yeeve> superherointj, you could try manually install it via the CLI (also check that the software app isn't opening a pop up asking for credentials)
[15:58] <MrCrackPotBuilde> pavlos not quite what im looking for
[15:58] <MrCrackPotBuilde> although maybe if i install it i can make a gui widget using that info
[15:58] <pavlos> MrCrackPotBuilde: there is psensor (bottom of link
[15:58] <DannyB> yeeve or MrCrackPotBuilde:  Haha so accidentally changed some important shortcuts while messing around with that window.  Is there a way to turn a shortcut entry back to its Default command?
[15:59] <MrCrackPotBuilde> reset to default fshould be there
[15:59] <MrCrackPotBuilde> haha i did it accidentally with yakuake
[15:59] <MrCrackPotBuilde> wouldnt open for days haha
[15:59] <MrCrackPotBuilde> and F12 is my dev key haha
[15:59] <DannyB> Well I don't see Reset to Default.  It just asks for a new command when I double click
[16:00] <MrCrackPotBuilde> 1 sec ill have a look for you
[16:01] <MrCrackPotBuilde> DannyB i cant see the button but maybe this can help https://askubuntu.com/questions/17626/how-can-i-restore-default-keyboard-shortcuts
[16:02] <DannyB> Got it!  Thanks for checking
[16:04] <DannyB> And have you had a need to stop the script?  The script starts with the gnome-terminal example you gave, but I have no way currently to end that specific script
[16:05] <superherointj> yeeve, manually it worked. tks.
[16:06] <yeeve> :)
[16:11] <ReddyTeddy> Hey guys, having a lot of issues with my networking today ...
[16:12] <ReddyTeddy> I'm on a Hetzner server, got a KVM session going, but can't ping the outside world :/
[16:12] <ReddyTeddy> ping google.com: unknown host
[16:12] <ReddyTeddy> ping 8.8.8.8: Desintation Host Unreachable
[16:13] <nchambers> are you able to ping other devices on the network?
[16:14] <ReddyTeddy> what other devices on the netwtork?
[16:15] <ReddyTeddy> even pinging the broadcast address doesn't seem to work
[16:16] <pavlos> ReddyTeddy: your gateway, for example ... can you paste the output of route -n
[16:16] <nacc> ReddyTeddy: https://www.hetzner-status.de/en.html
[16:16] <nacc> ReddyTeddy: it would appear tons of hardware failures?
[16:16] <nacc> oh those are in the past
[16:17] <ReddyTeddy> pavlos, I can't copy/paste because I'm using kvm
[16:17] <ReddyTeddy> but I can take a screenshot
[16:54] <bizhat>  any idea why i can't create physical volume (lvm) https://pastebin.com/raw/9NyHpQm8
[16:56] <frostschutz> bizhat, you can only use primary or logical partitions. extended is only used by the partition table itself as a container for logical partitions
[16:57] <bizhat> thanks, initially i tried with primary partition, i will try again
[16:57] <frostschutz> bizhat, so either you have to create another partition or, change the extended to primary
[16:57] <bizhat> i will delete it and recreate as primary
[16:57] <bizhat> and let you know
[16:58] <frostschutz> bizhat, also partition changes might not be active until you reboot, if the other partitions are in use (the first message about not being able to re-read partitions)
[16:58] <bizhat> thanks, i just rebooting
[17:00] <frostschutz> ReddyTeddy, if it works in the rescue system, compare ip link / ip address / ip route with yours.
[17:00] <ReddyTeddy> I don't think it works in anything frostschutz
[17:00] <ReddyTeddy> ping 8,8,8,8
[17:01] <ReddyTeddy> From my.server.ip icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable
[17:02] <frostschutz> ReddyTeddy, . instead of , - and that's in the rescue system provided by hetzner? if so, open a support ticket
[17:03] <ReddyTeddy> frostschutz, yeah, sorry, it was .'s I just typod (can't copy/paste)
[17:03] <ReddyTeddy> it's using this software KVM
[17:03] <ReddyTeddy> but I suspect the problem is probably somewhere in my config
[17:03] <ReddyTeddy> I can't access the internet in Ubuntu, other people in the same datacenter can, so it must be somewhere my config broke
[17:03] <ReddyTeddy> I was hoping someone could provide some support on where to look
[17:03] <frostschutz> kvm is not rescue system
[17:04] <frostschutz> they let you boot a rescue system, or they let you boot your own install inside kvm, those are different things. it's not unusual for the kvm mode to not work, after all a virtualized system is different from bare metal
[17:06] <frostschutz> ReddyTeddy, anyway, the network should work in the rescue system & then you should know the correct settings and compare them with your own install
[17:07] <ReddyTeddy> okey dokes, will try it out
[17:19] <ReddyTeddy> how do I get into the rescue system if I can't log in via ssh
[17:19] <ReddyTeddy> lol
[17:19] <EriC^^> !recovery | ReddyTeddy
[17:20] <ReddyTeddy> yes but this is a remote server
[17:20] <ReddyTeddy> that I can't connect to
[17:21] <EriC^^> ReddyTeddy: use the vps console
[17:21] <ghost-287> can someone please check if there is a apt package named :  python3-pycrypto ?
[17:21] <EriC^^> !info python3-pycrypto
[17:21] <EriC^^> !find python3-pycrypto
[17:22] <ghost-287> :/
[17:22] <EriC^^> ghost-287: in which ubuntu release?
[17:22] <ioria> !info python3-crypto
[17:22] <ghost-287> 14 to 17
[17:23] <nacc> ghost-287: there are simply so many ways for you to check that yourself, the least of which is packages.ubuntu.com
[17:23] <nacc> ghost-287: also 14 and 17 are not Ubuntu versions. I assume you mean 14.04 and 17.04
[17:24] <ghost-287> yeah i mean 14.04 to 17.04 so includes 16.04 ...
[17:29] <ReddyTeddy> Still getting 'Destination Host Unreachable' guys :/
[17:33] <tgm4883> ghost-287: then the correct way to check is packages.ubuntu.com as nacc suggested
[17:33] <tgm4883> ReddyTeddy: did you ever post your config?
[17:34] <ReddyTeddy> tgm4883, which config?
[17:34] <tgm4883> ReddyTeddy: your networking config and your route
[17:37] <ghost-287> thank you guys
[17:39] <memo1> hi, im creating a service /etc/systemd/system but when i execute systemctl enable script.service it shows this error Failed to execute operation:invalid argument
[17:40] <on3pk> Question in regards to memory management.  Using "free -m" says I have no available memory.  What is in the cache/buffer memory space?
[17:41] <EriC^^> that's memory you have (it's available for use)
[17:41] <memo1> nay help please.  I can show the unit file
[17:42] <EriC^^> memo1: paste it and share the link
[17:42] <on3pk> For some reason I keep thinking cache memory is from frequently used applications - is that anywhere near correct?
[17:42] <memo1> EriC^^: paste.debian.net/987896
[17:42] <EriC^^> on3pk: i think it can be disk cache too, yeah it's basically the same
[17:43] <EriC^^> memo1: does systemctl status servicename work?
[17:44] <memo1> EriC^^: give me example of a service please, because the one im creating cant be enable it
[17:44] <ReddyTeddy> tgm4883, route -n : https://i.imgur.com/1kBiwFr.png
[17:45] <ReddyTeddy> what else did you need to see?
[17:45] <ReddyTeddy> sorry, i can't seem to copy/paste from kvm
[17:45] <EriC^^> memo1: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SystemdForUpstartUsers#Example_Systemd_service
[17:45] <EriC^^> yours looks fine
[17:45] <memo1> EriC^^: systemctl status ssh is ok
[17:46] <EriC^^> memo1: try status on your service's name
[17:46] <tgm4883> ReddyTeddy: is this a static address or DHCP
[17:46] <tgm4883> your gateway looks weird to me
[17:46] <on3pk> thanks EriC^^
[17:46] <EriC^^> on3pk: no problem
[17:46] <ReddyTeddy> tgm4883, it's a Hetzner server, so I think it should be a static IP?
[17:46] <memo1> EriC^^: Loaded: Loaded--Active: Inactive
[17:47] <ReddyTeddy> or anyways, I've always logged into it using a static IP
[17:47] <ReddyTeddy> in putty
[17:47] <EriC^^> memo1: that looks good, try systemctl start yourservice
[17:48] <tgm4883> ReddyTeddy: did you not set it up?
[17:49] <ReddyTeddy> no I used Hetzner's Ubuntu install
[17:49] <memo1> EriC^^: Active failed, Process(code:exited, status:203/exec)
[17:49] <ReddyTeddy> but then I upgraded from 14.04 -> 16.04, although that was about 4 months ago and never had any problems
[17:49] <ReddyTeddy> until I restarted today
[17:49] <EriC^^> memo1: looks like it's failing to start
[17:49] <tgm4883> ReddyTeddy: sounds to me that you should contact support
[17:50] <EriC^^> memo1: enable should still work though, try systemctl enable yourservice
[17:51] <memo1> EriC^^: It fails.  sudo systemctl enable smartracking.service,   Failed to execute operation: Invalid argument
[17:52] <rmbeer> hello
[17:52] <EriC^^> memo1: try without the alias name maybe
[17:52] <rmbeer> i use ubuntu server and have problem for use 'apt-get update'
[17:52] <EriC^^> memo1: try with the actual filename you used if it's different
[17:53] <leftyfb> rmbeer: please post the errors you are getting to pastebin
[17:53] <rmbeer> https://ptpb.pw/dztt.txt
[17:53] <memo1> EriC^^: so, change the alias?
[17:54] <EriC^^> memo1: no, use the filename that's in /etc/systemd/system/filename.service
[17:54] <leftyfb> rmbeer: Ubuntu 10.04 is outdated and unsupported
[17:54] <leftyfb> rmbeer: it's well over 7 years old
[17:54] <rmbeer> leftyfb, how to update in the new version?
[17:54] <leftyfb> rmbeer: I would suggest installing 16.04 from scratch and restoring from backup
[17:54] <rmbeer> installing?? not have other method?
[17:55] <MrCrackPotBuilde> not if you want a functional build
[17:55] <leftyfb> rmbeer: since you are 19 versions out of date, not likely
[17:56] <MrCrackPotBuilde> rmbeer you could test it in a vm but it is highly unlikely
[17:57] <rmbeer> then this is a dead end...
[17:57] <MrCrackPotBuilde> and if your running a server i deffinately would start from scratch for security
[17:57] <MrCrackPotBuilde> your server will be wide open for attack
[17:57] <rmbeer> MrCrackPotBuilde, yes...
[17:58] <MrCrackPotBuilde> if its a public listed server im surprised you havent been compramised already
[17:58] <rmbeer> Well, I'll think of something.
[17:58] <leftyfb> MrCrackPotBuilde: it has, who do you think is asking for help? ;)
[17:58] <MrCrackPotBuilde> recently a cyber team listed three servers publicy listed within 3 days they were getting attacks
[17:59] <MrCrackPotBuilde> haha
[17:59] <leftyfb> MrCrackPotBuilde: the latest exploits require a python library that isn't available on this machine, so they want to upgrade :)
[17:59] <MrCrackPotBuilde> not very good hackers then
[17:59] <memo1> EriC^^: im Alias i use http-test.service, then enable was sucessfull.  But systemctl is fail
[17:59] <memo1> EriC^^: code=exited, status=203/EXEC)
[17:59] <MrCrackPotBuilde> if 10.0 should have python 2.x
[18:00] <MrCrackPotBuilde> with that you can do everything you need
[18:00] <MrCrackPotBuilde> might need to write your own scripts but shouldnt be difficult at all
[18:00] <leftyfb> I shouldn't talk. I just replaced a server several months back still running 8.04
[18:00] <MrCrackPotBuilde> haha
[18:00] <MrCrackPotBuilde> please continue
[18:00] <MrCrackPotBuilde> its why i have a job
[18:00] <MrCrackPotBuilde> hahaha
[18:01] <MrCrackPotBuilde> i recently had a client hire me to test there system it was running windows 95
[18:01] <MrCrackPotBuilde> i couldnt believe it
[18:01] <leftyfb> the sad part is, it was running some sites/applications that require php5. So now I'm running those sites in a container running 14.04.
[18:02] <MrCrackPotBuilde> i would just start again haha
[18:02] <leftyfb> one of the applications is gallery3. There's no replacement for it. Not one where I can import the photos/history anyway
[18:03] <leftyfb> I'll just let them keep running until they die off
[18:03] <MrCrackPotBuilde> can you not export them ??
[18:03] <EriC^^> memo1: you have to see the error the program is giving, try sudo journalctl -xe
[18:04] <leftyfb> MrCrackPotBuilde: not into anything that'll save the history(comments)
[18:04] <EriC^^> memo1: look at the line that has http-test.py[something]
[18:04] <leftyfb> it's not that big of a deal really
[18:05] <MrCrackPotBuilde> depends on who gains access
[18:06] <leftyfb> if they do, they get some old pictures. There's nothing else on the containers. I'm monitoring the containers so I SHOULD be made aware of exploits when/if they happen
[18:06] <MrCrackPotBuilde> its not so much the data id be after but bandwidth and personal usage
[18:22] <blackrabbit> lol guys I'm still installing ubuntu :D
[18:22] <MrCrackPotBuilde> still
[18:22] <MrCrackPotBuilde> jesus
[18:22] <MrCrackPotBuilde> should be done by now
[18:22] <blackrabbit> it's been probably 6 / 7 hours
[18:22] <MrCrackPotBuilde> yer easily
[18:22] <d_1_stortion> haha
[18:23] <MrCrackPotBuilde> i installed a server already haha
[18:23] <blackrabbit> I have deleted EFI partition now, so let's see
[18:23] <MrCrackPotBuilde> the partition shouldnt mattr i wouldnt have thought
[18:24] <MrCrackPotBuilde> so far ive never had to change a partition table to install
[18:25] <MrCrackPotBuilde> only have to do that with usb sticks
[18:25] <MrCrackPotBuilde> tbf im still trying to find an alternative to fingerprint gui
[18:25] <jer> blackrabbit, damn i'm on a third world internet connection and it didn't take me that long =]
[18:26] <blackrabbit> jer, I can figure out why the bootloader isn't working
[18:26] <MrCrackPotBuilde> did you manage to turn on legacy
[18:27] <MrCrackPotBuilde> or find the secure boot
[18:27] <blackrabbit> no
[18:28] <blackrabbit> but I can choose to boot from USB in legacy mode or uefi mode
[18:28] <MrCrackPotBuilde> choose legacy
[18:28] <MrCrackPotBuilde> that should solve the problems
[18:28] <blackrabbit> same result, no OS found
[18:28] <MrCrackPotBuilde> can i ask is your boot order correct
[18:28] <MrCrackPotBuilde> haha
[18:29] <maddawg2> my boot order is... i got the left on the left and the right on the right
[18:29] <maddawg2> just as god intended
[18:29] <MrCrackPotBuilde> haha
[18:29] <blackrabbit> yeah there must be something that windows left there
[18:29] <MrCrackPotBuilde> well i dont wear boots too dam warm
[18:29] <MrCrackPotBuilde> impossible
[18:30] <MrCrackPotBuilde> not if you did a full wipe
[18:30] <MrCrackPotBuilde> did you delete all previous partitions everything
[18:30] <blackrabbit> now I deleted everything
[18:30] <MrCrackPotBuilde> pmsl
[18:31] <MrCrackPotBuilde> longest install every lah
[18:31] <blackrabbit> I'm not sure what the default installer will delete, so just to be sure I deleted everything with gparted now
[18:31] <MrCrackPotBuilde> wait what
[18:31] <MrCrackPotBuilde> do you have the drive externally mounted
[18:31] <blackrabbit> even the UEFI/ESP partition
[18:32] <MrCrackPotBuilde> normally when i insert the usb and boot i will format using the installer
[18:32] <blackrabbit> yeah that what I did
[18:32] <MrCrackPotBuilde> i delete all partitions then depending on who its for i will create my partitions
[18:33] <blackrabbit> I used auto mode everytim
[18:33] <blackrabbit> should be ok I guess
[18:33] <MrCrackPotBuilde> before you auto wipe the drive delete all then auto
[18:33] <blackrabbit> that's what am doing right now, almost installed\
[18:34] <MrCrackPotBuilde> should be ok then this time.
[18:34] <MrCrackPotBuilde> id work on finding out why your bios doesnt show secure boot
[18:34] <MrCrackPotBuilde> could be outdated
[18:34] <blackrabbit> seems like it's post 2012 feature
[18:34] <blackrabbit> and my bios might be older
[18:35] <leftyfb> blackrabbit: how many hard drives you got plugged into this machine?
[18:35] <blackrabbit> leftyfb, only one
[18:35] <leftyfb> blackrabbit: Ok, boot to the usb installer. Go through the install until it asks how you want to partition the drives, then STOP
[18:36] <MrCrackPotBuilde> think hes past that already
[18:36] <MrCrackPotBuilde> should be after 6 hours
[18:36] <blackrabbit> yeah I'm on like 95% right now, installation #6 I think
[18:37] <blackrabbit> already tried every possible scenario :D
[18:37] <leftyfb> ok, once that finishes, boot to a USB, go through the install until it asks how you want to parition the drives, then STOP
[18:37] <leftyfb> blackrabbit: then follow this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows#The_terminal_way
[18:37] <leftyfb> blackrabbit: use lsblk to determine you drive
[18:38] <blackrabbit> ok will check that,  Boot-Repair did nothing
[18:38] <MrCrackPotBuilde> leftyfb hes going to need a boot partition first though right
[18:38] <blackrabbit> using terminal is my last hope
[18:38] <MrCrackPotBuilde> terminal is the best way much faster
[18:38] <leftyfb> MrCrackPotBuilde: the default install will create /boot in the main partition
[18:39] <leftyfb> main/root
[18:39] <MrCrackPotBuilde> but if he stops at the partition section that wont be created
[18:39] <blackrabbit> hmm and again "No operatomg system found. Press any key to repeat boot sequence."
[18:39] <leftyfb> there's no need to create a separate /boot unless you're doing LVM or multiple drives/OS's/distro's, etc
[18:39] <leftyfb> MrCrackPotBuilde: this is AFTER going through the installation once
[18:40] <MrCrackPotBuilde> true and i just thought hes installed it so many times hell already have the partition
[18:40] <leftyfb> blackrabbit: good, follow my instructions
[18:40] <leftyfb> blackrabbit: at this point, there's really no need to go through the installation process again. We just need to get grub installed
[18:40] <MrCrackPotBuilde> blackrabbit have you checked the checksum to see if the iso your using is corrupted
[18:41] <leftyfb> MrCrackPotBuilde: he did. Also, especially when obtaining it from ubuntu.com, it's VERY unlikely that this would be the symptom of a bad image
[18:41] <MrCrackPotBuilde> depends if he torrented or not
[18:41] <leftyfb> sure
[18:41] <blackrabbit> iso is fine
[18:42] <blackrabbit> hmm I screwed something, can't access bios now
[18:42] <leftyfb> blackrabbit: unlikely
[18:42] <leftyfb> blackrabbit: just try again. You probably didn't hit the correct keys at the correct moment
[18:52] <blackrabbit> leftyfb, going to try the manual way
[18:53] <DannyB> I have a custom Bash script set to start with an Ubuntu shortcut, just gnome-terminal -e "/PATH/script", that script automates some user input, gathers data, clicks and stuff.  But while doing so, the terminal that is opened by the shortcut is minimized, and difficult to reach to CTRL+C to stop the script
[18:53] <DannyB> Whats the best way to use a shortcut to close a specific script that I just started, by terminal shortcut?
[18:56] <blackrabbit> leftyfb, grub-install: error: failed to get canonical path of 'aufs'
[18:56] <leftyfb> ah, right
[18:57] <MrCrackPotBuilde> DannyB should be able to do the same thing but use something like ps kill etc
[18:57] <leftyfb> blackrabbit: mount your root partition to /mnt
[18:58] <leftyfb> blackrabbit: so if it's sda, then sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/ (if sda3 is the root partition. Look in lsblk)
[18:58] <DannyB> MrCrackPot, I could, but the way there would require input like the process ID?  How do I incorporate that into a single shortcut command?
[18:59] <leftyfb> blackrabbit: once you figure out your root partition, then: sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/ && for i in sys proc dev ; do sudo mount -B /$i /mnt/$i ; sudo chroot /mnt
[18:59] <leftyfb> blackrabbit: then try reinstalling grub
[18:59] <MrCrackPotBuilde> DannyB you could use pkill procType
[18:59] <blackrabbit> leftyfb, there might be problem with LUKS
[19:00] <leftyfb> blackrabbit: uh, you're using LUKS?
[19:00] <blackrabbit> yeah
[19:00] <leftyfb> :/
[19:00] <DannyB> MrCrackPotBuilde, I'll try that
[19:00] <MrCrackPotBuilde> for instance if the program is named bob pkill bob should work
[19:01] <leftyfb> blackrabbit: you never told anyone here you were trying to use LUKS
[19:01] <leftyfb> blackrabbit: that makes all the difference
[19:01] <blackrabbit> ohh really?
[19:01] <MrCrackPotBuilde> DannyB or sudo killall -SIGKILL bob
[19:01] <leftyfb> blackrabbit: yes, you need a separate /boot which isn't encrypted
[19:01] <DannyB> pkill worked!  Thanks.  Didnt know the command, always did something complex with grep | kill
[19:01] <blackrabbit> I'm using encryption by default every time
[19:01] <leftyfb> this might be who you're having these problems
[19:02] <leftyfb> who/why*
[19:02] <blackrabbit> I mean everytime on all computers, without problem
[19:02] <blackrabbit> this one is different :(
[19:03] <leftyfb> blackrabbit: have you tried without LUKS?
[19:03] <blackrabbit> trying right now
[19:03] <MrCrackPotBuilde> i used to do the same then i cantt remember when but i killed something that ended up killing the wrong thing so learnt about that
[19:04] <MrCrackPotBuilde> DannyB be careful though that it doesnt kill all your terminals
[19:04] <MrCrackPotBuilde> can be a bit problematic if your in the middle of something
[19:25] <d_1_stortion> blackrabbit, how's ubuntu installation going?
[19:25] <blackrabbit> almost 8.5 hours since I first tried :D
[19:25] <d_1_stortion> (Y)
[19:25] <blackrabbit> seems like I am idiot and shouldn't use disk encryption every time
[19:27] <leftyfb> blackrabbit: it's not a bad idea. But this is troubleshooting. Seeing if LUKS or it's requirements might have something to do with the issue
[19:28] <blackrabbit> hmm same error
[19:28] <leftyfb> blackrabbit: lets stick with unencrypted for now to limit variables
[19:29] <leftyfb> blackrabbit: At this point I would follow my previous instructions
[19:29] <leftyfb> boot to usb, chroot into root partition, install grub
[19:32] <blackrabbit> ok
[19:32] <blackrabbit> just checking bios again, but HDD seems to be fine
[19:34] <blackrabbit> this might also work http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/getting.html
[19:34] <leftyfb> heh
[19:34] <leftyfb> I know the guy who developed that
[19:34] <blackrabbit> cool
[19:35] <leftyfb> actually, could probably get him to come in and help
[19:40] <blackrabbit> is this right:  for i in sys proc dev ; do sudo mount -B /$i /mnt/$i ; sudo chroot /mnt
[19:40] <ioria> for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done
[19:40] <leftyfb> yep, though maybe put && instead of ; at the end
[19:41] <leftyfb> ioria: I'm not sure /run is necessary to install grub
[19:41] <leftyfb> or pts for that matter
[19:41] <leftyfb> they are for a proper environment if you're going to install packages or run things or whatever. But just running grub-update they aren't necessary
[19:42] <ioria> blackrabbit, and depends on where your /boot is ... you might need mount -a after chroot
[19:42] <leftyfb> ioria: it's not a separate partition
[19:43] <ioria> leftyfb, ah, ok
[19:43] <kraghot> hi guys, short question: I am using gnome and I would like to make some changes to my screens configuration (bump refresh rate to 75 and enable freesync). I can do that with xrandr however it is not permanent across reboots. I know I can run a script every time I reboot however I have heard that has its problems
[19:43] <memo1> EriC^^: Hi, sorry i disconnect.  Remember the service enable issue
[19:43] <kraghot> it's worth nothing I have no monitors.xml some people suggest should be i .config
[19:45] <ioria> kraghot, that's correct afaik
[19:46] <akik> kraghot: what problems do you get with that script method?
[19:48] <kraghot> akik, I've read that is resets after screensavers, screen locks and stuff like that
[19:49] <kraghot> basically anything which returns you to, in my case, gdm and back, because it does not rerun
[19:49] <akik> kraghot: i don't know about that but it's easy to test. just stick your script in /etc/X11/Xsession.d
[19:49] <kraghot> thank you akik, Will do
[19:50] <kraghot> which nuber should I give it?
[19:51] <qswz> Hi, I've a big issue, I bought a Lenovo, and I can't do right-click on the touchpad, if I click pref > mouse & keyboard > Left-handed , then the touchpad only do right-click on both right and left press
[19:51] <kraghot> "55gnome-session_gnomerc" before or after this?
[19:51] <akik> kraghot: it's up to you. i've use 70 myself
[19:51] <kraghot> thank you :)
[19:51] <qswz> egrep -i 'synap|alps|etps' /proc/bus/input/devices   is empty
[19:52] <qswz> xinput list "$(egrep -i 'synap|alps|etps' /proc/bus/input/devices |cut -d'"' -f2)"   is empty too
[19:52] <qswz> unable to find device
[19:54] <qswz> https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2043744 like this guy
[19:55] <qswz> https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2043744 hopefully this could work

[19:59] <kraghot> I am back. It seems that the script didn't run at restart. How can I check what happened? I get nothing with systemctl --failed
[20:01] <superherointj> Hi. I tried to change the theme on Ubuntu by change some settings on terminal. But I've created many different problems now and I'm not sure how to reverse it. Even the image showing when Ubuntu boots has changed. I think I went too far. Is there a way to reverse changes?
[20:03] <superherointj> On terminal, I did many things like this: https://pastebin.com/9BXBHHyE
[20:04] <dekatch> trying to reverse it by hand might take more time than ruining it by hand
[20:04] <dekatch> xd
[20:04] <dekatch> dont you have backups superherointj
[20:05] <superherointj> I don't have backups.
[20:05] <superherointj> I am considering reinstalling Ubuntu.
[20:06] <superherointj> But it is a lot of trouble too.
[20:07] <kraghot> akik, the script does not seems to run. Could it have something to do with me running gnome?
[20:07] <superherointj> I think two ugliest commands I have used is: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface icon-theme '' && gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme ''
[20:08] <akik> kraghot: sorry i don't know, i use kde (i set the dpi with that)
[20:08] <dekatch> superherointj, i dont have any idea about possible solutions to fix this. i am kinda like an trial and error user. but before i mess around i do backups much. dunno.
[20:08] <dekatch> cant really help at that point
[20:08] <superherointj> Right.
[20:09] <dekatch> i guess if you could provide a step by step of any command youve used. some might be able to reverse it
[20:09] <dekatch> but i guess that takes as long as just reinstall
[20:10] <dekatch> ofc backing up private data before
[20:10] <akik> kraghot: try moving it to a later number
[20:10] <kraghot> will do
[20:10] <kraghot> I'm going for a restart, let's see what happens
[20:12] <superherointj> I have used many combinations.
[20:12] <superherointj> Is it possible to uninstall Unity and GTK and Gnome and reinstall everything?
[20:13] <kraghot> nope still doesn't load. I will try to create a systemd service
[20:20] <memo1> hi, i create a script.service that i want to execute on every boot.  How i do that?
[20:25] <qswz> thx god, I could get this right click of Synpatics to work
[20:26] <kraghot> memo1, place it in /etc/systemd/system/. and run systemctl enable script.service
[20:26] <kraghot> make sure it works first by running systemctl start script.service
[20:32] <blackrabbit> whaaaaaaaaat
[20:32] <blackrabbit> After 10 hours I finally installed ubuntu!!!

[20:36] <mentalita> why did it take so long?
[20:37] <blackrabbit> I don't even know what was wrong
[20:37] <blackrabbit> combination of LUSK, UEFI and bad luck
[20:50] <blackrabbit> does anybody know how to hide microphone icon from desktop? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-sound/+bug/1665989
[21:01] <kiroma> I have an issue with copying a large catalogue off an external USB HDD.
[21:02] <kiroma> After copying several files the drive ceases to exist for the system, and is removed as if it was unplugged, even though LED indicator on the drive is still lit up.
[21:11] <codepython777> has anyone moved from the stock kernel in 16.04 to 4.13.3 here? Any problems? What is the easiest way to move?
[21:11] <nacc> codepython777: why do you want to?
[21:12] <codepython777> nacc: I'm having usb power problems. I remember reading some of them being fixed in the new kernel
[21:12] <d_1_stortion> codepython777, search for ukuu utility
[21:12] <nacc> codepython777: use the mainline PPA, test it, report a bug in ubuntu and the kernel team may help backport it
[21:12] <kostkon> codepython777, what kind of usb problems
[21:12] <codepython777> kostkon: One of my devices is pulling too much power
[21:13] <kostkon> codepython777, right
[21:13] <codepython777> If I plug it in after booting and waiting for a few seconds, everything works
[21:13] <kostkon> codepython777, if not?
[21:14] <codepython777> if not, one of the devices does not connect

[22:26] <Sagan> hi there, can somebody help me? I've tried to install a openjdk package, but it's broken now, and apt-get install -f does not work
[22:31] <oerheks> Sagan, can you show us a paste of your try and errors?
[22:31] <oerheks> !paste
[22:32] <Sagan> oerheks: some parts of the text of apt are at german, is there a way to run this in english once, or should I translate?
[22:34] <Sagan> I used google translate now

[22:36] <noalternative> i am trying to set up a xenial host on digital ocean and I am having problems with compiling cpuminer.  Is there a better group than this for general compiling issues?
[22:36] <oerheks> Attempt to override /usr/lib/jvm/java-9-openjdk-amd64/include/linux/jawt_md.h ..
[22:37] <d_1_stortion_> a
[22:39] <oerheks> Sagan, oke, seen that before, maybe this page is your help too https://askubuntu.com/questions/769467/can-not-install-openjdk-9-jdk-because-it-tries-to-overwrite-file-aready-includ
[22:39] <Sagan> oerheks: I will try, thanks :)
[22:40] <oerheks> old issue, i had to check if that version was still valid, and it is.
[22:40] <oerheks> !info openjdk-9-jdk xenial
[22:40] <Sagan> oerheks: yay, that fixed it. Thank you very much :)
[22:41] <oerheks> have fun!
[22:42] <noalternative> Does anyone know how to select all to cut and paste from nano in a putty console?
[22:48]  * oerheks is surprised that there is a linux putty version
[22:48] <oerheks> sometimes it is ctrl shift v
[22:56] <Lagair> I'm running ubuntu on a xenserver. It didn't really have a display to detect. It set my maximum resoultion to 800x600. How to I change this?
[22:58] <Lagair> I know how to generate mode lines and set it my resolution through xrandr but xrandr won't let me set anything above 800x600, the displays "maximum"
[23:05] <noalternative> Yes, I am using putty on Tahr.   However if it were winblows I am still working on a Xenial host.  Anyhow.
[23:06] <noalternative> Here is the paste of my config.log from cpuminer-opt  http://paste.ubuntu.com/25623477/
[23:06] <noalternative> I really need some help, since I am not a programmer.
[23:06] <noalternative> If there is a better irc for this.  Pray tell!
[23:07] <d_1_stortion_> what?
[23:11] <fsho> .
[23:19] <noalternative> if anyone logs on that can help me with my compiling issue, just pm me.
[23:19] <noalternative> I am currenly on pidgin.
[23:37] <tomreyn> noalternative: i don't spot an error in your output. have you tried doing what the release notes say? https://github.com/JayDDee/cpuminer-opt/blob/master/RELEASE_NOTES
[23:38] <noalternative> yes
[23:39] <noalternative> I used the release notes as a guide
[23:39] <noalternative> There were clearly make errors
[23:39] <noalternative> and it never made minerd
[23:40] <tomreyn> noalternative: the output you provided does not show an attempt to build, just to configure the build
[23:41] <tomreyn> it exits with status code 0, which usually means: no error.
[23:41] <noalternative> maybe it only logs configure
[23:42] <noalternative> anyway I can't try pasting output from command line
[23:42] <noalternative> I can try
[23:42] <tomreyn> !paste
[23:49] <noalternative> The putty commandline wouldn't go back any further than this, but here goes.  http://paste.ubuntu.com/25623673/
[23:54] <tomreyn> i suggest you try to get help from the developers of said software, or ask in a place where people discuss the C programming language (and maybe another place where they discuss the putty software).
[23:56] <noalternative> well thanks for trying.  I am looking at other possible places
[23:58] <noalternative> I am going to be here for a while if anyone else has any ideas.
