[00:00] I am not that strong in unix but will see what i can come up with [00:00] "ls -l" is that the best way to list owner/group? [00:01] palmdk: probably? [00:08] Okay - i will get to it then. Thank you for the help [00:09] Hi, when clicking in the scroll bar on a window, is there a way to set it to just scroll up a page, rather than jump to the position that matches where in the scroll bar I clicked? [00:50] Geo I think there is (and it may depend on your window manager), but I do not know exactly where to look for the setting. candidates: window appearance, mouse. if you know how to search your desktop environment , try 'scrollbar' or simply ask every 10-20 min until somebody really can help [00:51] I found some related settings in gtk3, but nothing that prevents the 'jump to' feature [00:51] nothing obvious, at least === coldasfucc is now known as puddings [01:30] anyone have the same problem when switching from mysql-server to mariadb-server like this http://vpaste.net/xT4x4? [01:37] Geo what is the flavor/Desktop environment of your ubuntu? I remember I once *could* change this, another one I couldn't . [01:40] Anyone have a software recommendation for best backing up of files to an external HD? I will be using the external HD simply to back up my files and nothing. [01:42] <[n0mad]> i just use Backups/deja dup in ubuntu [01:44] aloo_shu, 16.04 / whatever is default [01:44] GNOME, i guess? [01:45] Yea I'm running 16.04 [01:45] Oh, you were responding to him, oops. [01:46] I just typed "backup" into my Ubuntu search bar and it popped up with an application called "Backups". I'm guessing this will work just fine? [01:46] Also, is it worth it to back up the WHOLE system, or just focus on my own particular files? [01:47] <[n0mad]> i just backup my home directory [01:47] <[n0mad]> minus some things that i backup elsewhere like music/videos [01:48] word [01:56] Geo, GNOME/Unity, probably, have only used Xfce and KDE myself lately. just re-ask from beginning [02:04] I just installed Open Broadcast Studio ( https://obsproject.com )_ and it is not showing up in my search ( when you hit the widow key on the keyboard and you can search for applications ). What do I do now? [02:04] https://askubuntu.com/questions/789857/how-to-install-open-broadcaster-software-obs-on-ubuntu-15-10 [02:06] It ^ is legitamately installed because I can type "obs" on the command line and get it to launch - just the install does not seem complete ( ie: no icon to click and not showitn up in a seach for the application ). [02:10] A google search " open broadcast studio desktop icon " does not include relevant soln that I can find ( there is one soln for windoze but I am not using windoze ). [02:12] <[n0mad]> I believe you would need to create a .desktop file for the application in /usr/share/applications [02:13] <[n0mad]> might be able to google 'how to create desktop file ubuntu' to find how that file can be built [02:13] or look at the .desktop files in gedit/text editor [02:14] sudo gedit to be able to later save your 'obs.desktop' in that directory [02:18] boggaboosanchez previous 4 lines were for you, and maybe your menu config (right click on menu icon?) allows adding menu entries by hand, with 'custom command' and optionally icon [02:20] buggaboosanchez you can locate obs pkg in synaptic (if you have it) , select, properties -> installed files, maybe there is a .desktop file, but in the wrong place [02:22] Is there any reason pertaining to generating locale, that anyone would put LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 and LANG=en_US.UTF-8 inside /etc/environment ? [02:22] aloo_shu: ty. sorry for the delay - I was digging. I see there is a obs.desktop in /usr/share/applications/ and this is the content of mine: https://pastebin.com/S38FwWpE <--- Is that the right content and is /usr/share/applicatoins/ the right place? [02:22] Or any reason at all for that matter? [02:23] aloo_shu: typing " obs " in terminal proves to be the correct command to launch but I'm not sure about the rest [02:23] The comment line is in russian or something [02:24] aloo_shu: Is it just the " Icon " line that could make it not show up in an applicatoin search? [02:26] buggaboosanchez let n0mand look at it . have you rebooted/ logged out and in since the install? There is a command that should run automatically, but maybe hasn't, xdg-update something, to make the desktop 'see' new app entries. but still the obs.desktop could be malformed, ask around, I can not say more (on android tablet, me) [02:27] buggaboosanchez let n0mad look at it [02:27] I'm trying to upgrade my server from 12.04 to 16. I ran apt-get install dist-upgrade and it had some sorta conflict (if someone could find this screen that'd be great) I hit enter. Now lsb_release doesn't work. And I'm still on 12.04 [02:28] aloo_shu: Ok but I don't think he is online here anymore ( I can not tab complete his name ). I wish I could use the command instead of actually rebooting bc I lose my connection in irc when I do that [02:28] thx [02:29] !eol | kevc45 [02:29] kevc45: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [02:31] buggaboosanchez by using tab completion on 'xdg' in a terminal, and by using the man command (man man to learn) , you can figure it out [02:31] I'll be back I'm gonna reboot [02:31] thx [02:35] is it possible to install a .deb file with aptitude? [02:35] I have sudo access for make and aptitude only [02:38] @ubottu : sudo: do-release-upgrade: command not found [02:39] Where does the ubuntu application search get its' search terms? I installed Open Broadcast Studio and it does show up in the search ( with icon ) but only under two terms ( and their variants ( eg: " obs " and " open " <-- and variants ). It will not come up with anything beyond " open " in the search ( ie: " open broadcast " or " open broadcast studio " <-- or variants ). [02:39] How can I correct that? [02:40] I may also be something to do with there being multiple words with spaces? [02:40] kevc45: ' dpkg -l update-manager-core ' . is it installed ? [02:41] @Bashing-om No packages found matching update-manager-core. [02:41] cli only server [02:42] And can't install them [02:42] https://hastebin.com/herexixamo [03:02] buggaboosanchez again the way the search index is built for desktop search may vary from DE to DE, and even with plugins to search function. You could have a look at the obs.desktop file again and see what the app gives as it's own name. Dunno if .desktop files foresee optional secondary app names. There are fields that influence where an app will show, e.g in multimedia or utilities [03:03] buggaboosanchez but once you have your app with icon, be it in the menu, be it from search, you may be able to just drag it onto the desktop or into the bar at the left or any panel and thus create a 'launcher' === ransomware7_ is now known as fizi [03:15] been logged out 10 min === rkta_ is now known as rkta [05:14] newly installed Ubuntu Mate on a VirtualBox VM under Windows, and seeing an odd problem... some of the popular https:// sites I try to go to in firefox are complaining "Your connection is not secure" -- how best to debug? [05:16] note: not all sites complain -- but two big examples: google.com and youtube.com [05:16] bemo: wrong date? [05:16] date is correct on the VM, and didn't see the same problem in Ubuntu 16.04 [05:17] Did you run `apt update` etc recently? [05:17] mate install was from 17.04-desktop iso [05:17] There were some certificate updates [05:18] good point... no... let me try that! [05:18] (I did tell it to download updates during install, but I haven't tried updating afterward) [05:18] (I installed it about an hour ago) [05:21] looks like it's updating something... should know soon enough. [05:21] (including a Firefox update) [05:23] I'm also new to Ubuntu Mate, so I'm assuming the "System" -> "Administration" -> "Software Updater" is the same as trying to use the cli "apt update" (which I'm unfamiliar with) [05:23] (new to Ubuntu, in general) [05:24] bemo: there's also an #ubuntu-mate channel for questions specific to mate [05:26] thank you! [05:29] bemo: what are you updating? [05:30] everything... just installed a fresh (first time) Ubuntu Mate install, and was having issues with certificate failures for sites like google and youtube [05:31] bemo: wich ubuntu version are you on exactly? [05:31] ubuntu-mate-17.04-desktop-amd64.iso [05:33] bemo: can you hastebin the output of sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade ? [05:33] lotuspsychje: he doesn't have any issues currently, he's just updating... [05:33] was doing it from the GUI, and about to reboot [05:34] oh [05:34] Using Ubuntu16.04: Can I have two terminal windows open? I had a django server running in one, opened another terminal and played with some things then everything kinda froze up. [05:35] tenemu1: sure, you can have as many as you like [05:35] Thanks. With virtual environments, can I run the same one in two terminals? [05:36] tenemu1: perhaps htop can help find whats cpu high/lagging? [05:36] tenemu1: whats does "the same one in two terminals" mean? [05:37] tenemu1: probably entirely unrelated, but I've noticed periodic (temporary) freezes when running in VirtualBox, but I suspect it has little to do with Ubuntu, and more to do with my host/Virtualbox. are you running natively on the hardware? [05:38] Note: I'm a complete newb to linux. I made a virtual environment for my django project. I had that activated in one terminal, and ran a local web server. I opened another terminal and activated that same environment again. I'm don't completely understand the virtual environments, other than just separating commands to be for that venv only, not my ubuntu OS. [05:39] I am running virtual box in windows OS [05:39] tenemu1: virtual environment is a very generic term [05:39] Do you mean lxc? [05:39] I don't know [05:39] python3.6 venv [05:39] Do you mean apache virtual host? [05:39] I don't know. [05:39] How did you make that environment? [05:40] How did you "activate" it? [05:40] Tell us some commands to understand what you mean... [05:40] source myenv/bin/activate [05:40] myenv is the name i gave it [05:40] i made it by: python3 -m venv myenv [05:41] tenemu1: and do you have a second python virtual environment as well? [05:41] does anybody here know how to enable openvpn? [05:41] !vpn | gt8ost4l [05:41] gt8ost4l: For more information on vpn please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN [05:42] bemo, I have 'myenv' in a folder. I activated it in one terminal window, then I activated that same 'myenv' in another terminal window. [05:42] beyond that I don't know what I'm doing. [05:42] tenemu1: sounds like your question is about python virtual environments, you could ask in #python about those [05:42] tenemu1: why not create and use a second python virtual env [05:42] alright. thanks anyways [05:43] glitsj16, that's what I was asking originally. Does running the same one cause issues. [05:43] apparently it did [05:43] :) [05:43] haha [05:44] tenemu1: having two terminals using the same virtual python environment should be fine. [05:45] alkisg: interestingly, I'm still seeing the issue after a reboot... now to try it manually at the cli. [05:46] seems to be up-to-date [05:47] bemo: what's the exact message that firefox displays there? [05:48] (and btw why 17.04... :D MATE 16.04 works fine here) [05:48] alkisg: "Your connection is not secure" [05:48] Doesn't it respond to double clicks or right clicks etc, to show certificate details? [05:49] alkisg: I had some issues with Ubuntu 16.04 where when I tried hiding the panel on the left, I couldn't get it back... found an obscure cli command to fix it, but figured I'd see if mate has similar issues, and figured I'd go with the latest (stable) just in case [05:50] 17.04 is supported till January, while 16.04 until 2021... [05:50] okay, maybe I should just go back to 16.04 and start over -- might not have this issue, since Ubuntu 16.04 didn't seem to have it either. [05:51] I wonder if the new certificates were not pushed to 17.04 yet [05:51] unsure. :) [05:51] (I can't imagine I'm the first one to try to go to Google with it though) [05:52] https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=ca-certificates says all have updated certificates [05:53] alkisg: and yes, to answer your question, there are additional "Advanced" buttons 'n such to try to debug... just not sure how to figure out why google fails and ssllabs doesn't (for example) [05:53] !info firefox zesty [05:53] firefox (source: firefox): Safe and easy web browser from Mozilla. In component main, is optional. Version 56.0+build6-0ubuntu0.17.04.1 (zesty), package size 43481 kB, installed size 166248 kB [05:54] (I'm new to this room as well -- but that's cool) :) [05:54] bemo: can you try a guest account and a previous kernel perhaps? [05:55] maybe a difference is part of the "This site uses HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to specify that Firefox may only connect securely. As a result it is not possible to add an exception for this certificate." [05:56] lotuspsychje: guest account had the same problem, and I just installed this today, and it failed... and it failed again after upgrading/rebooting... is there a specific kernel I should be aiming for? (could the kernel version affect Firefox and it's tls connections?) [05:57] bemo: not sure, just trying to widen your options [05:57] :) [05:57] thanks! [05:58] I've seen messages about firewalls that do https scanning causing issues, but I don't *think* I have one of those... and as I said earlier... when I tried Ubuntu 16.04, I didn't see this problem -- same Host machine for the two VMs. [05:58] bemo: got same issues on other browsers? [05:58] bemo: have you checked via "apt-cache policy ca-certificates" yet to confirm you actually have the latest security update for that package? [05:59] easiest solution *feels* like going back to the 16.04 version of Mate. [05:59] glitsj16: let me look (unfamiliar with the command, but I'll type it anyway) :) [06:00] bemo: it shows you what versions of a package are available on your system and whether it's installed [06:00] Installed: 20170717~17.04.1 [06:00] yep, that's the correct version [06:01] glitsj16: thanks [06:01] lotuspsychje: thanks [06:01] alkisg: thanks [06:01] :) [06:01] looks like I have some stuff to go try [06:01] bemo: np :) [06:01] will come back and bother ya'll another day. [06:03] lotuspsychje: haven't tried other browsers yet, but will probably do that after going to 16.04. :) [06:03] (if needed) [06:57] do I understand correct that there won't be wayland by default in 17.10? [07:07] I just right clicked on a directory in Lubuntu to do "open in terminal." It wasn't set, so it popped up a window where, among other things, I could enter the terminal of choice. I typed in LXTerminal. Now when I do "open in terminal" I get the error "Failed to execute child process "LXTerminal" (No such file or directory). Where do I find that window with the choices again (it isn't LXSession configuration)? [07:07] flux242: #ubuntu+1 might know [07:10] someone wanna assist me setting up a persistent liveOS usb key with ubuntu 17.04? === jackNemrod_ is now known as jackNemrod [07:12] i'm trying to do it on an openbsd machine, which is not helping me create ext fs... [07:17] awoserra: got two usb keys? use one for linux liveusb and set the other one up as you desire :P [07:17] awoserra: doing anything interesting under an OS that doesn't understand the filesystems will be problematic [07:17] ah, PCManFM preferences, go figure [07:17] awoserra: VM would work too I suppose [07:17] ugh [07:18] umm, i have to use two usb keys? [07:18] i can't just make a single usb key with ubuntu on it into a persistent liveos? [07:18] awoserra: well you can dump an image to a disk in any OS, but if you want to move files around within the image, you need something that understands the filesystem [07:18] yah [07:19] might there be a way to boot into the liveos on the usb key and then transform it to accommodate persistence from within the live os? [07:20] awoserra: well most of the live key images I've encountered are basically squashfs on iso9660, both of which are write-once filesystems.. you'd need to put an ext4 in free space then unionfs-mount it over root, and somehow insert that into the usb key's canned boot cycle [07:20] or remember to do it manually every boot.. or generate/download a persistent image somehow [07:21] i wonder why the distro doesn't make an alternate download of an image with memory space for persistence... [07:21] .would be too convenient i guess :S [07:23] awoserra: what file system do you have in your hard disk? You can copy the .iso there, and then tell the ubuntu usb stick loader (syslinux) to boot from the .iso on the disk, so that the stick is free to write it with persistence [07:23] openbsd... [07:24] That's not a file system [07:24] it kinda is... [07:24] openbsd has it's own fs type [07:24] Can the linux kernel read it? [07:24] it is not ufs [07:24] i dunno === jstein_ is now known as jstein [07:24] doubt it [07:24] OK, start with creating a stick and booting from it [07:24] Check if you can see any of the disks you have [07:25] If you can, then you can put the iso there [07:25] If not, you'll temporarily need a second stick or disk [07:25] gotcha, i run FDE on my openbsd disks too - might be very hard to read/write anything from another OS [07:25] openbsd FDE is also not very standard [07:26] i'll be back with two sticks ;) [07:26] tyvm ^ ^ === desertjellyfish is now known as wustenqualle [08:16] <_ikke_> We are trying installing a (3rd-party) package, which depends on apache2|httpd on 16.04.

[09:13] Anyone know how to install the best codecs pack so i can play files in VLC, or another player? [09:18] Hi. I had a Ubuntu VM running in VirtualBox. I was using ferm to control my firewall, and it was working just fine. There is a line in my ferm.conf that opens a port for incoming connections and it changes (depending on the port my VPN host assigns me). So, I'd just go into the ferm.conf file, change the port and restart ferm with "sudo service ferm restart" [09:18] sigurdson, smplayer, mpv, x264 for starters [09:19] sigurdson, do you already have ubuntu-restricted-extras [09:19] However, recently I migrated the VPN to VMWare. Now, when I do "sudo service ferm restart", it no longer uses the new port value in ferm.conf, but, keeps the old one. any idea why this would be? [09:19] georgemp, isnt that a better question for #vmware [09:20] I've tried "sudo iptables -F" and also "rm /var/cache/ferm/*" [09:20] bazhang: i'm not sure it's vmware that's causing this [09:20] perhaps i've messed something else up in the ubunutu config [09:20] and not realized it..dunno [09:21] migrated VPN to VMWare, should be migrated VM to VMWare [10:13] With sed or similar, how can I add a / character to the end of each line of a file, if there is not already one there [10:13] if there is already one there, it shouldn't add a second one [10:14] try `sed 's/[^\]$/\/' -i file` [10:14] `sed 's/[^/]$/\/' -i file` [10:14] ^/ means not slash, and $ is the end of line [10:18] You're not required to use / as separator. 's,[^/]$,&/,' is easier on the eyes. [10:21] rory: ^^^ [10:23] It doesn't add slashes to empty lines, though. [10:25] rory: sed -e 's,^$.*[^/]\|$$,&/,' [10:26] <_ikke_> glitsj16: yes, we have, but it's not a recommends in this package, but an actual dependency [10:31] Hi, I have a problem with libreoffice in ubuntu. It's an exclusive problem from ubuntu: when I open a document it seems to be with other fonts. In fedora, or windows or even mac it does not happends [10:31] It's exclusive to ubuntu, because if I open the same file in fedora/windows using libreoffice I get the same problem [10:34] <_ikke_> gabboman: can it be that you are missing the font being used? [10:34] It's the default font [10:35] the funny thing is that in fedora/winbugs/macOS, it works out of the box [10:35] but not in ubuntu, in fact I see the document different there [10:36] _ikke_: odd, I can't see why it acts like that.. there's a crude workaround though: edit the .deb file's control info manually and take out the apache2 stuff === kostkon_ is now known as kostkon [11:33] Hello, any idea why Ctrl+Alt+Arrows doesn't switch workspaces anymore? It used to work until yesterday. I have tried with a guest session and it works fine, so I guess there is a problem in my config files but I can't find it. Workspaces are enabled, keyboard works, keyboard layout is the right one. How can I restore normal behavior without blindly [11:33] erasing all of .config? [11:41] hi [11:41] should i use /etc/network/interfaces or /etc/network/if-up.d/custom_routes to add my persisten routes [11:43] if you're using a network manager, use that [11:44] otherwise, i'd use interfaces file [11:44] i use interfaces to configure my network, not NetworkManager [11:44] there you go [11:45] i tried interfaces, rebooted but `ip rules` and `ip routes` weren't applied :| [11:45] probably didn't do it properly then [11:46] Ben64, that's how i did it http://dpaste.com/21SSRAY [11:46] below the # custom comment, is what i added myself [11:47] that syntax is unknown to me [11:48] Man... ever since I started plugging in an external 4k display my applications have been acting really weird [11:49] they actually scattered themselves over multiple workspaces, when I never did that with them [11:49] I started them all in workspace 1 and didn't move them [11:49] seven-eleven: this is what i've got... https://hastebin.com/ifajiqonat.bash [11:50] Unplug monitor because I can't find my apps (they keep getting "placed" outside of the non-rectangular actual display area and unplugging the monitor used to put them all within the pixels of my laptop screen. But today they got put all over the 4 virtual workspaces [11:50] sure it is eth0, not the new interface naming? [11:50] and some of them wouldn't go back to workspace one [11:50] I'd do alt+space, select the workspace moving option, and nothing would happen [11:51] Ben64, ah that looks better, let me substitutes up with post-up, :-) [11:55] Ben64, now it worked, thanks!

[12:18] Having a bit of an issue getting wireless to work on 17.04. How can I ascertain the wireless adapter I have? I've tried to check dmesg but can't grok what is the actual adapter. [12:23] http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ ok found it [12:26] Google knew... https://askubuntu.com/questions/902992/ubuntu-gnome-17-04-wi-fi-not-working-mac-address-keeps-changing/905019#905019 ;) [12:30] So I had successfully dual booted Win10 and Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS, after which, I decided to update and upgrade. Then I'd shut down the system, but now it won't boot anymore. Its similar to https://askubuntu.com/questions/948386/acpi-error-while-installing-ubuntu-16-04-on-dual-boot-with-windows-10 issue (I ask as I see this is unanswered). I tried chrooting and installing couple of linux-images (a few from [12:30] 4.8, 4.10 and even 4.11) but while I was able to boot into Ubuntu, I no longer had any hardware drivers (no ethernet/Wifi, display was glitched, and the mouse pointer was just jumping from point to point, rather than tracing the path). So how would I go about fixing this issue? What should I be tinkering with to fix this? [12:37] So does anyone have an idea about my previous query? (asking again since I've switched nicks) [12:39] shyamsk_mobile, perhaps if you ask again you might get an answer [12:43] hi [12:43] i have ubuntu installed on my system [12:43] how can i install windows ? [12:44] i need to have dual boot [12:44] how can i do it ? [12:46] i'm genuinely interested as to why this happens. my dpkg/apt is locked. i've done pgrep -f 'dpkg|apt' and i get two PIDs returned (one for the command, one for process). i've done top -b -n 1 | grep 'dpkg|apt' and i can clearly see 'apt-get' is running. now i've done sudo kill PID aswell as sudo pkill apt-get; sudo killall apt-get i kow i can resolve the issue by deleting the lock file. i [12:46] just don't understand why i can't kill the process? [12:48] Blu [12:52] n35xdxb0, open system monitor to see which apt pid is running and see if you can terminate it there [12:53] BluesKaj: thanks! will try [12:53] n35xdxb0, unless you have the package manager open [12:55] !fixapt | n35xdxb0 [12:55] n35xdxb0: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [12:56] BluesKaj: this is actually the first time it's happened. my first thought is always to close package manager. i know i could reboot, but just interested to find out what's happening [12:56] ubottu: didn't know about tht command thanks, trying now [12:56] n35xdxb0: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [12:57] BlackDex: tht bot command worked! great. thanks hateball ! (and ubottu :) [12:59] n35xdxb0: :) [13:01] i have hp laptoop with ubuntu 16.04.1 and my blooth device is not working any help [13:01] ? [13:05] haymi: first, update so you are on 16.04.3 [13:05] haymi: What bluetooth device is this? Run "lsusb" in a terminal and it should show [13:05] Hello, any idea why Ctrl+Alt+Arrows doesn't switch workspaces anymore? It used to work until yesterday. I have tried with a guest session and it works fine, so I guess there is a problem in my config files but I can't find it. Workspaces are enabled, keyboard works, keyboard layout is the right one. How can I restore normal behavior without blindly [13:05] erasing all of .config? (I asked before but then my connection was reset, sorry for asking again) [13:09] hateball:i already update and f for lsbusb http://paste.ubuntu.com/25666851/ [13:10] haymi: There's no physical BT switch on the laptop? As I cannot see the device there [13:10] haymi: check with "lspci" also but usually it is connected over usb [13:11] haymi: and how did you update? If you are fully updated it should show .3 if you run "cat /etc/issue" [13:12] hateball:sudo apt-get update [13:13] hateball: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25666875/ === ShalokShalom_ is now known as ShalokShalom === cerion_ is now known as cerion [13:17] haymi: update will only look for updates, not do any [13:18] haymi: you will want to run "sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade" [13:19] hateball: does it deletes file and program if i did upgrade [13:19] haymi: No :D [13:19] how to kill some port process? in ubuntu [13:20] haymi: and it wont upgrade to Ubuntu 17.04 or anything, it will just make sure what you have installed has security updates applied [13:20] haymi: Also, since you have Ralink chipset... There may be some need to sacrifice a small animal to get things working [13:20] haymi: I kid. But they can be iffy. [13:20] hateball: :D [13:21] haymi: What you can also try, after first making sure you are fully up-to-date, is use !hwe to get a later kernel which might have better support [13:21] !hwe | haymi [13:21] haymi: The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack [13:28] hateball: i did update but at the end i get this kind of error am sory iam new to ubuntu i am not expert http://paste.ubuntu.com/25666936/ , but when i chek cat /etc/issue i get " Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS \n \l" [13:32] After I upgraded my server from 12->14->16.04 I lost ssh access. When I try and connect with Putty I get: "server protocol violation unexpected ssh2_msg_unimplemented packet". However I can still access my server using my host's web console. [13:32] I messed up my iptables and now some software have difficulties to connect to servers, how can I reconfigure it do default system settings, Ubuntu 17 === juboxi is now known as jubo2 [13:40] hi, i know that dpkg -l searchterm and apt list --installed exit. when i search for packages i tend to do apt-cache search mysearchterm what i'd like to do, is to be able to colour-code (link inxi) the results, to see which i've already installed [13:40] if anyone can point me in the direction of writing a script for that, would be great [13:41] exist* [13:41] like inxi* [13:45] haymi: did you reboot after upgrading? === SimonNL is now known as SimonNL_Afk [13:57] ignore my question before, found a hacky way of doing more or less what i wanted apt list | grep -v installed | grep mysearchterm which basically allows me to search only the packages i haven't installed yet [14:00] n35xdxb0: apt list --installed [14:00] oh, grep -v [14:00] ignore me ;) [14:02] leftyfb: ye, turns out that the options for apt list are --upgradeable --installed and --all-versions, there's no --notinstalled ... :) hence the reverse grep. should do the trick. [14:03] n35xdxb0: I don't think that's going to do what you think [14:18] leftyfb: just saved a function for it. i'm just happy with being to grep through a list of the packages i haven't installed. when searching with apt-cache show packagename, i would found it a little annoying tht there was no option to only search through packages i hadn't installed [14:18] n35xdxb0: care to share you function on pastebin? [14:19] leftyfb: ye [14:19] http://dpaste.com/2ZN2HH9 [14:19] now i just type mani bluetooth for instance [14:19] leftyfb: i welcome any suggestions, of course [14:20] it doesn't colorize anything [14:24] leftyfb: oh no, haha, tht was the ambitious plan. i was thinking of doing a loop through the lines of two separate outputs, then use comp to compare which lines were similar or not, then colourising according to if statements etc. but then i thought 'ah whatever, this is good enough' :D [14:25] leftyfb: if your script-fu is better than mine, and you have a few tips, i'd definitely like to do it [14:25] n35xdxb0: I'd probably do the same thing as you suggested [14:27] leftyfb: it must be doable. when i send inxi -fxz with the -c0 option to the pastebin, i can can see the colour codes etc. only issue was how to set the match between two lines [14:28] and sorting [14:28] *inxi -Fxz [14:29] ok, i've gotta do it now don't it. brb === jelly-home is now known as jelly [14:31] leftyfb: other issue is i get a warning everytime when combining apt and grep. about apt not being stable for CLI. i.e. i shouldn't be using apt in a script [14:36] Hi. browser sound streaming works in one browser firefox, but not in another one, opera. what can be the reason? [14:38] After I upgraded my server from 14->16.04 I lost ssh access. When I try and connect with Putty I get: "server protocol violation unexpected ssh2_msg_unimplemented packet". However I can still access my server using my host's web console. [14:40] kevc45: https://superuser.com/questions/1013015/i-keep-on-getting-a-error-when-i-connect-to-a-ssh-tunnel-on-putty [14:41] kevc45: "I got a similar error on 0.63 ... upgrading to 0.67 made it go away." what version of putty are you using? [14:55] @SwedeMike Thanks. I was using a Putty version from 2014... [15:08] hi i got a problem with jacktrip and i need help [15:08] https://pastebin.com/aVGb61bX [15:10] uname -a [15:10] Linux NeuroN 4.4.0-96-lowlatency #119-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT Tue Sep 12 16:24:26 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [15:10] Hi, I am trying to run Ubuntu off a usb-stick. It works fine, and Ubuntu connects to the wired network connection automatically, but Firefox doesn't want to connect to any urls. [15:10] Where should I start looking for what's wrong? [15:10] Tempus2: check the file /etc/resolvconf [15:10] Tempus2: can you run 'nslookup google.com' [15:11] insert nameserver 8.8.8.8 [15:11] I would have to reboot into Ubuntu to try that. [15:12] egelor: that's bandaid solution [15:27] nslookup google.com timed out. [15:28] Tempus2: can you ping your gateway? [15:29] I haven't tried. How do I find the IP of my gateway? [15:30] Tempus2: it's your router. [15:31] Tempus2: maybe try: route -n|grep ^0.0.0.0 |awk '{print $2}' [15:31] It's IP v6 [15:31] Do I just replace the Ipv4 with v6? [15:32] Tempus2: your home router is giving out ipv6 ip's? [15:32] Yes [15:33] I see that I am IP v4 here on IRC though. [15:33] leftyfb: this works for me, now i just type aptsearch pkgname and i see what i want there are actually many ways of doing this. only issue is that i can't suppress the warning message [15:33] leftyfb: https://pastebin.com/dS6PVwQ2 [15:33] for the function [15:33] If I do ipconfig in Windows, it states: Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : fe80::cad7:19ff:fee9:33f0%2 [15:34] leftyfb: here's an image of the command output https://i.imgur.com/wSxD7W6.png [15:35] Tempus2: nmcli d show |grep -i gateway [15:35] Tempus2: then that is your gateway ... see if you can ping it. I'm not sure how ping works with ipv6. I have yet to play with ipv6 at all [15:36] Let me boot back into Ubuntu. Once i get the connection up, I won't have to reboot back and forth. [15:36] n35xdxb0: nice [15:36] leftyfb: ;) (the function is pretty messy though. and those warning messages are ugly. will improve it as i go along) [15:37] n35xdxb0: probably the warning goes to stderr [15:37] n35xdxb0: but it's a legit warning from apt proper (you might use apt-cache instead, which does have a stable cli API) [15:37] nacc: ye. i was just reading up about tht. any chance you could give me a quick tip? the warning is because of using grep and apt, and i use it twice. so i get two warnings [15:38] n35xdxb0: apt ... 2>/dev/null | grep [15:38] n35xdxb0: although that means if apt throws an error you will also get no message [15:38] n35xdxb0: so it's not recommended [15:38] nacc: great, i definitely know tht this shouldn't be used for scripting. but this is just for personal use and learning purposes. thanks ;) [15:39] n35xdxb0: you could do, somethign like apt ... 2>&1 | grep -v -e -v ... [15:39] nacc: ah, that warning is stderr? [15:39] nacc: i tried that! haha, adding another inverse grep. not only did it make it messier, also didn't work :( [15:40] leftyfb: well, funnily enough in 17.10 it's no longer emits that message :) [15:40] leftyfb: i'm guessing because it's officially stable in 1.5? [15:40] hoping it's got some more features too [15:40] probably [15:41] n35xdxb0: did you redirect stderr to stdout first? [15:42] how do you get rid of the permanent black bar on top? [15:42] and change the taskbar to be on the bottom? [15:42] basically more like a windows setup [15:42] 16.04 lts [15:43] Cooler: http://bfy.tw/EGhd [15:46] Hi! My wifi on ubuntu isn't working. lshw -C network returns: "-network UNCLAIMED description: Network controller product: BCM4352 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (...)". How could I fix it? I tried sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source && sudo modprobe wl, but it returned: modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'wl': Required key not available [15:46] (Ubuntu 16.04) [15:48] nacc: warning messages are gone! perfect. thank you so much nacc. i can see myself using this quite a bit. i've wanting to do this for a while, and just never bothred to [15:48] https://pastebin.com/tJDtGPW8 [15:49] n35xdxb0: np [15:49] n35xdxb0: although, i'm a bit confused why you have a single & in the middel [15:50] Okay, I used both last commands and the route-command didn't do anything. The nmcli showed an IP-address. [15:50] n35xdxb0: that backgrounds the grep, afaict [15:50] can i ask about PDFTK here? [15:50] nacc: ye, that's a hack. :) i just wanted the colouring from grep. not the actual elimination. there's another way of doing it by setting a color variable but it just wasn't giving me what i wanted [15:51] nacc: i'll def be looking to improve it [15:51] since this channel supports only up to 17.04, where do I go to talk about 17.10? [15:51] !ubuntu+1 | Hans-Martin [15:51] Hans-Martin: Artful Aardvark is the codename for Ubuntu 17.10 - Support only in #ubuntu+1 [15:51] thx! [15:51] n35xdxb0: ok [15:52] I am using the work around to set the title on gnome-terminal. https://pastebin.com/xD3G0kAg is the code for the set title command. Is it possible to use this command in a bash script? My attempts so far have errored saying command not found. [15:52]
