It looks like there's a modified version of 10.10 that works with this model for intel processors, but the link to the iso is dead. I would like to find it and burn it to a dvd if possible. I know this is an ancient version and I'm sure that there will be hardware issues but I can sort that all out, I just want to find the iso and figure out the rest from there. [00:16] the page with the dead link is here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook3-1/Maverick [00:17] or any ubuntu iso that has a high chance of working.

This "fix" allows apt to be usable again, but upon trying to `apt-get install emacs24` (after removing it), get the same errors [02:23] Not sure how to help you install that package without re-breaking it again. Get back to the point where you can apt-get update && apt-get upgrade cleanly. Then install aptitude with sudo apt-get install aptitude. Re-install emacs24 and run sudo aptitude install -f to see the output. aptitude shows more information. *shakes fist at Ubuntu [02:24] stuck__: ' apt policy emacs24-bin-common ' ?

[03:36] why is it greyed out, I keep trying to click it but cannot ;( [03:37] Bashing-om: is it a complete loss? [03:37] can you type sudo apt-get install linux-image-4. and press the tab key to list available linux kernels that can be installed? [03:38] You can re-install linux kernel, headers, etc. We need to know what kernel version you where running before or what we can install [03:38] b0nn: Well no . Are you presently on the system in question ?

[03:44] Bashing-om: https://bpaste.net/show/2ec2206298ba [03:45] Is this a VPS b0nn? [03:46] madmangun: Yes [03:47] You are not able to upgrade your kernel on a VPS. I believe your on a OpenVZ VPS. [03:47] You would need a KVM based VPS to manage the kernel. [03:47] b0nn: madmangun :: Let's take a gentle poke at it ' sudo apt install linux-image-generic ' . What results ? [03:48] madmangun: b0nn ^^ so much for my skill set :( [03:48] Bashing-om: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [03:48] <- work for a web hosting company :) [03:49] Screams OpenVZ to me [03:51] * b0nn looks at the plan [03:52] It does appear to be an OpenVZ VPS (they have both KVM and OpenVZ, so I had to dig a little) [03:54] Happens alot b0nn, You will need to upgrade to a KVM to have control over the kernel. Unfortunately this requires a move to a different server and the data will be lost, you'll need to backup what you would like to copy over to the KVM if you decide to upgrade. [03:54] Any reason why you need control over the kernel? Most cases this is not important. [03:55] b0nn: keeping in mind I have nev er run a VPSl we can still try ' sudo apt autoclean ; sudo apt autoremove ; sudo apt clean ; sudo aot update ; sudo apt full-upgrade ; sudo apt -f install ; sudo dpkg --configure -a ; . see what flows out . [03:56] sudo apt update ** [03:58] It couldn't hurt. Honestly, unless you are installing software that requires additional kernel modules to be installed it's not something to worry about or upgrade to a KVM b0nn [04:00] b0nn: madmangun running a 2,6 kernel - no telling how this is going to go with xenial as the source file , === rwb1 is now known as rwb [04:08] https://bpaste.net/show/c927621e9fd1 [04:11] b0nn: EOL " gn https://packages.gitlab.com wily/main Translation-en " .. still reading . [04:12] I copied and pasted it in chunks (my ssh session is using tmux & screen) [04:13] so it might be (slightly) inaccurate [04:13] b0nn: libc6 is the heart of a normal install . I do not know what to make of it missing here ! [04:15] Bashing-om: I think that's what's being upgraded, and that's why there's such a major problem [04:18] b0nn: Keep in mind I do not know ! never run a VPS. But FYI do ' apt show libc6 ' In a normal install libc6 is required and is the biggy . [04:22] Bashing-om: https://bpaste.net/show/544e2fc4e976 [04:25] b0nn: I really wish others with the knowledge pick this up . I do not know . Your provider controls the kernels and libc6 ?? I do not know what to expect where in this use case . [04:26] Bashing-om: that's ok, I get the feeling this is going to end in a support ticket [04:26] I'm just working on backing the /home and /etc directories to my local machine [04:26] b0nn: That is what you pay for :) [04:27] b0nn, unfortunately that is the case. [04:29] anyone know why my usb 313u lte modem is greyed out ? https://1drv.ms/i/s!AsBlZbBf72iNnPJmL3ZYEE4qDY-R0w [04:30] I am afraid to click that [04:34] FManTropyx, it's just a screenshot, what url photo site would you like me to use so you can see what my issue is and hopefully help direct me to an solution [04:44] well, imgur is often used [04:49] FManTropyx, http://picpaste.com/pics/Screenshot_2017-09-29_20-37-24-2Glm2Dk4.1506746945.png === rkta_ is now known as rkta [04:54] have you tried to enable Wi-Fi? [04:57] donofrio_: I missed, is your wifi dveice installed and configured correctly? [04:58] wifi is working it's the lte modem that seems to be working just not enabled or allowed to work? [05:03] donofrio_: Ok, I'm not 100% sure on what's happening. Ar you saying your wifi device is installed and configured correctly on your ubuntu machine (and something like sudo ifconfig shows the device) [05:04] If so, does sudo iwlist scan show the wireless networks you expect in your area? [05:04] hi... I'm having trouble installing Samba on linux [05:04] I keep getting an error [05:05] b0nn, it's not wireless its cellar.... [05:08] donofrio_: Oh, my mistake. [05:08] b0nn, it's cool I'm glad to get some help.... [05:09] cellar, you say? [05:09] so it is USB? I've got an external mobile router/modem that connects via Ethernet [05:13] usb, tinyurl.com/att313udrivers [05:19] I keep getting an error while attempting to install SAMBA [05:30] I keep getting an error while attempting to install SAMBA [05:39] JFox762: 1st step is to pastebin the command and the resulting error . See then where it goes . [05:43] Is there any way to get more precision out of the volume control in the most recent non-LTS version of ubuntu? [05:43] The steps are pretty big. Also, I can't change it by selecting it and hitting right-left on my keyboard. [05:43] https://thepasteb.in/p/zmh8oQ3wQQvCZ [05:44] https://thepasteb.in/p/76hE14vQA7wTV [05:44] reverse the order of htose pastebins actually [05:45] does my dmesg help show that its working just not working? https://apaste.info/gXo0 [05:50] JFox762: samba looks to have installed: " samba version 4.5.8-Ubuntu started. " . so ?? [05:51] because when i type samba in terminal it gives me this [05:51] https://thepasteb.in/p/GZhW5KmoBrMUV [05:54] And what's the output of `ls -lha /var/log/samba` ? [05:55] https://thepasteb.in/p/nZhlNAzyZ3ASY [05:56] For me, the first line is like this: drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 20K Σεπ 29 14:14 . [05:56] The others are similar [05:57] ps aux | grep smb ==> samba is running as root, right? [05:57] does Lubuntu consume less battery power on laptops as compared to other ubuntu flavours? [05:58] https://thepasteb.in/p/nZhlNAzjWlAcY [05:58] JFox762: try sudo chmod +r /var/log/samba [05:58] Then run samba again and see if the error went away [05:59] nope [06:00] JFox762: wait, you're trying to run it as the user [06:00] That's why it doesn't have access [06:01] Same thing happens here; samba runs as a service as root [06:01] what do you mean [06:01] That it's installed fine, and that you're not supposed to type "samba" [06:02] ok... [06:02] so how do i access folders on my windows machine? [06:02] Right click from nautilus,share folder [06:02] Wait, the folders are on ubuntu or on windows? [06:02] windows [06:03] Then you don't need samba at all [06:03] You just go to the network places in nautilus [06:03] Samba is for sharing ubuntu folders to windows clients [06:04] nautilus? [06:04] forgive me, I'm still new to linux [06:05] Which Ubuntu version do you have, the one with Unity? [06:05] (Lubuntu, Xubuntu, Kubuntu etc) [06:05] Ummm [06:05] Ubuntu [06:05] Gnome desktop [06:05] Nautilus is the file manager [06:05] When i click "Windows Network," [06:06] it simply opens a dialogue box, tthat says Opening Windows Network [06:06] but it stays on screen forever [06:07] Open a terminal, and type: smbclient -L 1.2.3.4 [06:07] Put the windows ip there instead of 1.2.3.4 [06:07] Do you see your shares? [06:07] no [06:07] it just stays in the same window [06:08] Any errors? [06:08] no [06:08] it just doesnt do anything [06:08] Does it return, or it hangs? [06:08] Can you type more commands after it finishes? [06:09] https://thepasteb.in/p/AnhrALgp84kFv [06:09] I don't see "smbclient" there in that paste [06:11] https://thepasteb.in/p/NxhVmDAYZwvTN [06:11] That makes more sense :) [06:12] Your problem now is on windows [06:12] You didn't properly make shares there [06:12] oh waiot [06:13] i figured it out [06:13] i was using my linux password [06:13] not my windows password [06:16] https://thepasteb.in/p/k5hYz87GRQzfE [06:18] JFox762: that's a windows problem now, not an ubuntu one [06:18] Try asking in #windows [06:18] "...enable NBT (NetBIOS over TCP) on the Windows server and try again." [06:18] Ahh Ok [06:18] That's the solution ^ [06:18] ok... I think I have to relearn how to do that [06:34] I ran wrote gdisk partition changes to the wrong disk is there anyway to recover data from that disk? [06:34] FreakingOut1987: testdisk helps, but do it from a live cd [06:34] Don't use the disk at all until you can find the correct partition table [06:34] alkisg, I have testdisk running atm can't find anything [06:35] You just used gdisk, or did you also format partitions wiping the data completely? [06:35] I used gdisk only [06:35] i'm not very familiar with testdisk either, my original disk was a single filesystem ext4 [06:35] MBR or GPT? [06:35] GPT [06:36] i used gdisk to create one 2G EFI System and another Linux System that contained the rest of the disk [06:36] It should be able to detect it... testdisk is the best I've seen on that [06:36] then I realized my mistake and used gdisk again to make one full partition of linux system [06:36] If you're using it properly and it doesn't... :/ [06:36] should I be using Intel/PC, EFI GPT? [06:36] its detecting a bunch of Linux Filesystems [06:36] but no files are listed [08:24] Is it required to use dnsmasq with lxd? === thorre_se is now known as thorre [10:14] Hi, somehow I get gthumb not showing its menu bar in 16.04.03; suggestion that I found to run "initctl restart unity-panel-service" does not work [10:14] anyone an idea? [10:19] I AM A CYBER-SEXUAL PREDATOR. I NEED CYBER SEX WITH HOT RUSSIAN GIRL [10:22] restarting unity does not work either [10:23] eFfeM: are you a jew? [10:24] Hi, I’m having issues configuring fstab to automount an external hdd. I want it to mount to a specific dir within /media, so I added it to my fstab file. This works if I reboot the system with the hdd plugged in, no issues. If I unmount it, unplug, replug, it mounts correctly but I also get an error in XFCE saying it’s already mounted. Is there a way around this? === robotrolll is now known as robotroll [10:35] nevermind, fixed it by using labels === jstein_ is now known as jstein [10:42] Hmm, the mouse/keyboard lagging in Ubuntu 17.10 running gnome/wayland is really hard to cope with. I hope the gnome guys fix the input processing for the next release. [10:42] I run a decent i7 laptop but the lag is very noticeable. [10:43] you connection? [10:43] my connection? [10:44] lag is for the net slow [10:44] or the machine is busy [10:44] ... a i7 should be wnought for linux [10:44] *enought^sorry i have a i3 2.9 and works fast [10:44] sorry, I'm not talking about network lag. I'm talking about keyboard/mouse lag. [10:45] ok i noticed [10:45] you are using a intel driver? [10:45] it's a known bug in gnome 3.26: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=745032 [10:45] Gnome bug 745032 in wayland "Mouse Tracking 'Laggy' on Wayland, and mouse movements cause frame drops in other OpenGL applications" [Normal,New] [10:45] ah okies [10:45] terrible sir [10:46] its a basic design flaw in gnome that casuses it, they didn't separate the input processing from the main rendering loop :( [10:47] so now, if you eg. start a video player in gnome/way and mouse the mouse around everything will stall [10:47] gnome/wayland* [10:47] move* [10:47] it's pretty terrible :/ [10:48] Alberto: yes, I'm using intel gpu [10:49]
