[01:44] <aloo_shu> that freaked my client, dis- and reconnect with open pm
[01:44] <aloo_shu> lost 1 line from you, I think
[01:44] <aloo_shu> wrong place
[02:07] <Gallomimia> i'm having an interesting problem for sure. i'm struggling with this system for a long time. finally got it to boot into emergency mode and everything is working except.... i can't get out of emergency mode
[02:10] <kenrin> You exit and reboot as normal
[02:10] <Gallomimia> what's that? type exit??
[02:21] <Gallomimia> just scrolls a log and then returns to the same message
[02:22] <kenrin> reboot
[02:23] <Gallomimia> how is it you think that's helpful advice?
[02:23] <Sweepyoface> ????
[02:23] <Sweepyoface> use the 'reboot' command
[02:23] <Gallomimia> i'd really rather not.
[02:23] <kenrin> Is it not?  If everything is working then rebooting should boot as normal
[02:23] <Gallomimia> it doesn't boot.
[02:23] <Gallomimia> everything is not working.
[02:23] <Sweepyoface> So you need to fix the issue first
[02:23] <Gallomimia> right
[02:23] <Sweepyoface> you said you wanted to get out of emergency mode
[02:23] <Sweepyoface> that's how you do it
[02:24] <Gallomimia> emergency mode is the closest to working i can get it
[02:24] <Gallomimia> i'm celebrating to see emergency mode, but i can't make it go beyond that
[02:24] <Sweepyoface> So why did you ask how to get out of it
[02:24] <Sweepyoface> you should be asking how to fix the issue
[02:24] <Gallomimia> so i can get out of it.
[02:24] <Gallomimia> this is going in circles, much like this boot process
[02:24] <Sweepyoface> if you ask a half ass question, expect the same kind of answer
[02:24] <Sweepyoface> what exactly is your problem?
[02:25] <Gallomimia> see, that's what i expected. more questions, not answers
[02:25] <Gallomimia> i'm not exactly sure what the problem is. and where to begin?
[02:25] <Sweepyoface> rebooting is how you get out of emergency mode
[02:25] <Gallomimia> i've had this system limping for a long time
[02:25] <Sweepyoface> that's what you asked, we answered
[02:25] <Gallomimia> rebooting is how i got into emergency mode
[02:25] <kenrin> Does it say anything when you try to boot normally ?
[02:25] <Gallomimia> so, if i do that, it's coming back to emergency mode
[02:25] <Gallomimia> no.
[02:26] <kenrin> Absolutely nothing?
[02:26] <Gallomimia> i mean, it tries. there's logs that list
[02:26] <Gallomimia> but it either locks up in a graphical grub, or i try to activate recovery mode, or it's a blank screen
[02:26] <Gallomimia> i have tried a lot of different things. it's always been so fussy.
[02:27] <kenrin> So what troubleshooting steps have you tried besides going into emergency mode
[02:27] <Gallomimia> near as i can tell, i have the exact motherboard that no one should ever try to run linux on
[02:27] <Gallomimia> i've added nomodeset and ahci=off to kernel parameters
[02:27] <Gallomimia> er... something
[02:28] <kenrin> Has it ever worked?  When it sticks at "black screen" can you get into a console tty ?
[02:28] <Gallomimia> sure lots
[02:28] <Gallomimia> tho i suspect i never had it working perfectly. there's always been some kinda problems. such as flakey usb3
[02:29] <Gallomimia> the black screen is always a black screen. changing to a console tty doesn't work. nor does ctrl alt del
[02:29] <kenrin> Well first you need to boot with no splash and see why it isn't booting or look at logs.   Without more information no one can help you
[02:29] <Gallomimia> the emergency mode console gets me some access to logs
[02:31] <Gallomimia> have you ever seen this message: Your system is not currently configured to drive a VGA console on the primary VGA device. The NVIDIA Linux graphics driver requires the use of a text-mode VGA console. Use of other console drivers including, but not limited to, vesafb, may result in corruption and stability problems, and is not supported.
[02:31] <Gallomimia> cause.... i have. and i'm reading some stuff about it. and i don't like it.
[02:33] <kenrin> That just means nvidia doesn't fully support uefi as of yet.  It shouldn't have any affect on anything
[02:34] <Gallomimia> it should give me some advice on how to proceed tho
[02:34] <kenrin> Not really.  That message appears on 100% of people who use a nvidia card and uefi
[02:35] <kenrin> Well,  anyone who uses CMS anyway
[02:35] <jerichowasahoax> CMS?
[02:36] <kenrin> "The Compatibility Support Module (CSM) is a component of the UEFI firmware that provides legacy BIOS compatibility by emulating a BIOS environment, allowing legacy operating systems and some option ROMs that do not support UEFI to still be used."
[02:36] <jerichowasahoax> that makes more sense than "did you mean KMS" :V
[02:41] <ghost-287> hello
[03:01] <smellsLikeGoatSp> hello everyone, I got quite a problem in my hands. my ubuntu 16.04 failed to re-emerge from suspend, it would not take my password, I pushed the power button and thought little of it. now it cannot boot from my SSD and it looks as if some memory was corrupted. comrest, ata2 hard resetting link are all error I got at one point. recovering mode gets stuck after entering the encryption password and so does booting a previous re
[03:01] <smellsLikeGoatSp> up my files but I cannot seem to mount the encrypted hard drive, to run ecryptfs-recovery-private. any thoughts?
[03:02] <smellsLikeGoatSp> * comreset failed errno=-16 to be precise
[03:02] <Toba> try taking the hard drive out of the machine it's in now and plug it into another system to get the files off
[03:03] <Toba> it could be that something is wrong with the cpu, memory, motherboard etc
[03:05] <smellsLikeGoatSp> Toba: on it now. I need to say I tried to recover my files running ubuntu from another ssd and it seems to work fine (can access other encrypted hds) a part from mounting the "corrupted" ssd. will try from my laptop and see.
[03:08] <smellsLikeGoatSp> Toba: I get the same problem where the only thing to be mounted is the efi, grub, releases folder a 512 MB volume and the 1TB stays unmounted. after a little while it drops both and I need to replug the ssd
[03:09] <Toba> That sounds a lot like your SSD has a hardware issue to me
[03:09] <Toba> :(
[03:13] <smellsLikeGoatSp> Toba: it is a new SSD  850EVO D:
[03:14] <smellsLikeGoatSp> Toba: thinking about it I would not know how to go about formatting it to flash a new distro come to think of it
[03:15] <Toba> if it's doing this i would want to test it for errors thoroughly before installing something else on it
[03:15] <ghost-287> hello i installed apache2 , i did: service apache2 start and after that i looked if it runs service apache2 status  but i found that it doens't work
[03:15] <ghost-287> Active: inactive (dead) since 4 second :/
[03:16] <smellsLikeGoatSp> Toba: I would not know where to start. I just wished there was a way to boot it up. I am surprised there is no way around using recovery mode.
[03:17] <ghost-287> have i to configure something after a fresh install of apache2 ?
[03:32] <ghost-287> --resolved--
[03:35] <de-facto> is there any proper alternative to network manager which is able to let the user manage network settings (in contrast to network-manager which does not get rid of its garbage settings with --purge)?

[05:24] <Sawbones2> Hey guys, I'm having a hell of a time trying to install WingIDE. Would it be possible for a bit of assistance?
[05:32] <hateball> Sawbones2: well it's not in the repos so not officially supported
[05:32] <hateball> but it looks like it has both a deb and tar installer, so... seems straightforward enough
[05:34] <Sawbones2> I've never used this chat before. Whats the best way to link screenshots so I can show what I'm running into
[05:35] <CalebW> Hey guys, I have a Vizio TV that I connect to my laptop and use as a moniter, well it was working this morning, but now I can't get Ubuntu to recognize the display.
[05:41] <Bashing-om> !paste | Sawbones2

[05:41] <hateball> Sawbones2: and see Bashing-om's thing
[05:42] <Sawbones2> Thank you guys. Here is where I'm running into issues
[05:42] <Sawbones2> http://paste.ubuntu.com/25712045/
[06:08] <ducasse> Sawbones2: which ubuntu are you on?
[06:08] <Sawbones2> Kali 64bit, most recent version
[06:09] <ducasse> !kali
[06:11] <MrHooper> Is there any way I can use lxd with kea-dhcp4-server instead of dnsmasq?
[06:12] <MrHooper> I really like my kea-dhcp4-server better than the original ISC DHCPD
[06:13] <alkisg> dnsmasq isn't the original isc dhcpd :)
[06:15] <Al_nz1> evening peeps. I have a Ubuntu machine on a LAN which is also a recording server for some IP cameras, when I enable UFW the cameras cant mount the NFS
[06:15] <MrHooper> yes I know - it seemingly forces me to use dnsmasq
[06:15] <Al_nz1> disble UFW and all works
[06:17] <MrHooper> Al_nz1: this means one of the iptables rules is interfering with your NFS connection - check what iptables rules are set after you enable ufw, copy to a temporary file and then instead of using ufw add said rules individually yourself until your NFS is blocked
[06:17] <tomreyn> Al_nz1: it's a firewall with a default set of policies, dropping inbound traffic.
[06:17] <MrHooper> Al_nz1: that way you can figure out exactly which rule is impeding your NFS traffic
[06:17] <Al_nz1> maybe I will start with listing rules
[06:18] <MrHooper> Al_nz1: I do not use UFW so I cannot help you but I am assuming it defaults to dropping all inbound traffic unknown to it
[06:18] <tomreyn> s/drop/reject/
[06:18] <MrHooper> Al_nz1: if you want to be more future proof you can use nftables instead
[06:18] <Al_nz1> MrHooper: yeah looks like it. I think I will setsome allow all rules for camera IP's
[06:19] <MrHooper> Al_nz1: probably not a good idea to allow all for camera IPs but only the traffic the cameras require for recording
[06:19] <Al_nz1> MrHooper: I dont really know UFW or IPTables - I just want to get this going - so a permissive rule to trust the 3 camera IP's ought to do it
[06:19] <MrHooper> Al_nz1: iptables is the foundation of most linux firewalls
[06:20] <MrHooper> iptables/netfilter
[06:20] <Al_nz1> MrHooper: yip - not disagreeing there - learning it is also quite involved
[06:22] <MrHooper> Al_nz1: it isn't as difficult as you think - it just takes a bit of time, experimentation, and patience  - it also helps A LOT to understand netfilter logic flows which I cannot claim to grasp quite yet
[06:22] <MrHooper> Al_nz1: nftables is easier to understand actually
[06:23] <Al_nz1> btw ufw rule : sudo ufw allow from 10.1.1.20 fixed it
[06:23] <MrHooper> Al_nz1: good
[06:23] <tomreyn> that allows any and all traffic from that ip address to the ufw system
[06:25] <Al_nz1> yip
[06:39] <tripelb> is there a tv-tuner (hardware I believe) for ubuntu?  (I searched but missed the boat.)
[06:42] <ducasse> tripelb: this link might help, check other places on that wiki as well - https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-T_USB_Devices
[06:42] <tripelb> thanks.
[06:42] <ducasse> afaik there are several tuners that work fine with linux
[06:47] <ducasse> tripelb: you might have better luck asking in a channel for something like tvheadend or openelec - some project where a lot of people use tv tuners
[06:48] <tripelb> thats nice. iy they dont cost 4x as much.. cross fingers.
[06:48] <tripelb> ducasse: thosr are
[06:48] <tripelb> ducasse: those will be treated like clues.
[06:49] <ducasse> sorry?
[06:50] <tripelb> like where to find a tv tuner is a mystery. i am the detective, you are an i formany,the channel names gives me a path for investigation, hence a clue.
[06:50] <ducasse> ah :)
[06:50] <tripelb> as well as Tech I am a woman with an arts degree*2.
[06:51] <tripelb> shrug. jilletante
[06:51] <tripelb> (just made that up)
[06:51] <ducasse> there's an openelec channel on freenode, #openelec - try asking them. remember you need one that works on your network etc.
[06:52] <ducasse> there's #tvheadend as well, but only 6 users...
[06:53] <tripelb> #openelec  #tvheadend
[06:54] <ducasse> tripelb: /join #openelec
[06:54] <tripelb> i can only copy my typing (Andchat is my android irc client)
[06:54] <tripelb> thanks... yes I know that.
[06:57] <tripelb> yes ducasse jointed and put them in my autojoin.

[07:05] <yoginth> join #ubuntu
[07:07] <yoginth> hello
[07:55] <iAmSlow> how to install chromium flash ?
[07:55] <iAmSlow> where to put libflash.so
[07:59] <ducasse> iAmSlow: 'sudo apt install adobe-flashplugin' should be enough
[08:01] <iAmSlow> ok will try
[08:02] <iAmSlow> E: Package 'adobe-flashplugin' has no installation candidate
[08:02] <alkisg> iAmSlow: you need to enable the partner plugin
[08:02] <alkisg> !partner
[08:48] <Duality> can i force a update of time with timesyncd ?
[08:49] <Duality> like a synchronization over ntp
[08:52] <ducasse> Duality: try restarting it?
[08:54] <Duality> ducasse: i did  but it says: NTP synchronized: no
[08:54] <Duality> when i do timedatectl status
[08:54] <Duality> i had edited the config to enter custom servers
[08:55] <ducasse> Duality: 'timedatectl set-ntp true'
[08:56] <xmrpooler_iphone> Hi is there a way to create repository like apt-get
[08:57] <Duality> ducasse: i had already tried that, but it does nothing
[08:58] <ducasse> Duality: what does 'timdatectl status' say?
[08:58] <xmrpooler_iphone> What I am trying to do is I have package I want to people to be able to install and run using one command
[08:58] <ducasse> xmrpooler_iphone: create a ppa
[08:58] <ducasse> !ppa
[08:59] <EriC^^> j #Linux
[08:59] <bazhang>   /j ##
[08:59] <EriC^^> :D
[09:00] <xmrpooler_iphone> I want everyone to be able to install using one command
[09:02] <ducasse> xmrpooler_iphone: will be two commands, one to add the ppa and one to install the package
[09:03] <xmrpooler_iphone> Oh
[09:05] <xmrpooler_iphone> Which type are supported noob question
[09:05] <ducasse> what do you mean?
[09:07] <xmrpooler_iphone> Can I run bash script using ppa
[09:08] <EriC^^> xmrpooler_iphone: wht are you trying to achieve?
[09:12] <ducasse> xmrpooler_iphone: you can package it, sure, but if it's just a script why not just put it on a page or github?
[09:12] <xmrpooler_iphone> I have bash script which automate tasks but command is long as there is URL with fancy looking long numbers and alphabets so it's not memorable and bash script does simple tasks that are hard for people who are using ubuntu for frist time
[09:13] <xmrpooler_iphone> So I want them to just carry one something like apt-get install task
[09:13] <xmrpooler_iphone> Runtask
[09:14] <xmrpooler_iphone> And everything happens in background
[09:14] <ducasse> honestly, there are tons of scripts like that out there...
[09:15] <xmrpooler_iphone> I just want to know how this happens
[09:16] <ducasse> you can look at launchpad to see how setting up a ppa works, as i suggested before
[09:16] <xmrpooler_iphone> Checking out:)
[09:17] <xmrpooler_iphone> Ducasse automate general task is a example
[09:21] <EriC^^> xmrpooler_iphone: join ##bash and read the ebook in the topic
[09:21] <xmrpooler_iphone> I am there
[09:22] <xmrpooler_iphone> But about repository community of ubuntu have more idea then bash am I wrong?
[09:23] <erchache2000> I upgrade from trusty to xenial an mysql breaks do-release-update
[09:24] <erchache2000> I can fix it but apt show me cant verify key
[09:24] <erchache2000> any tip to solve apt key problem?
[09:30] <ducasse> erchache2000: pastebin the error
[09:31] <Duality> ducasse: this is what my config looks like: https://pastebin.com/SR1Xneuv and this is what timedatectl status says: https://pastebin.com/156HTFxm
[09:31] <Duality> oh ha
[09:31] <erchache2000> ducasse: https://pastebin.com/dUSAkmWy
[09:32] <Duality> ducasse: nvm that last one that was with default config running (it says yes on the default config)
[09:33] <Duality> i am confused after a restart it still works ...
[09:33] <Duality> with my own config
[09:33] <ducasse> erchache2000: try 'sudo apt install gnupg'
[09:34] <erchache2000> ducasse: installed
[09:34] <erchache2000> ducasse: I’m trying to reinstall keys for repository but doesnt solve my problem
[09:36] <erchache2000> perhaps will be kernel
[09:36] <erchache2000> not upgrade is 3.x not 4.4.x
[09:37] <Duality> ducasse: alright after a reboot it says: https://pastebin.com/DNVXGEzv with the following config https://pastebin.com/SR1Xneuv
[09:37] <ducasse> erchache2000: is gnupg2 installed as well?
[09:38] <erchache2000> ducasse: rebooting server to get new kernel 4.4.x
[09:39] <ducasse> Duality: 'systemctl status systemd-timesyncd.service'
[09:39] <ducasse> erchache2000: i don't think that's it
[09:39] <erchache2000> ducasse: me too, but I need to upgrade
[09:39] <erchache2000> :-P
[09:41] <Duality> ducasse: https://pastebin.com/gZGEjBB1
[09:42] <erchache2000> ducasse: solved upgrading kernel ;)
[09:42] <ducasse> erchache2000: maybe it needed to restart some service(s)
[09:43] <erchache2000> ducasse: sure… and gnupg2
[09:43] <erchache2000> ducasse: thanks for your time XD
[09:43] <ducasse> Duality: check if ntp is installed
[09:44] <Duality> ducasse: ntp is required ?
[09:44] <Duality> :D
[09:44] <ducasse> Duality: no, it should not be installed because that will prevent timesyncd from syncing
[09:45] <Duality> ducasse: it is not installed
[09:45] <iAmSlow> how to install netcore2 on ubuntu 17.10 , on microsoft site there is manual only for 17.4
[09:45] <ducasse> !17.10 | iAmSlow
[09:46] <ducasse> iAmSlow: either way,not repo software so not supported here or there either
[09:49] <Duality> ducasse: i had found this https://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7356 but restarting systemd-networkd doesn't work either
[09:51] <ducasse> ubuntu doesn't use networkd, so not surprising..
[09:53] <Duality> ducasse: oh that is good to know :)
[09:53] <Duality> i am running the server version but that doesn't matter right ?
[09:54] <ducasse> which release is this?
[09:55] <Duality> 16.04
[09:56] <ducasse> yeah, then you definitely aren't using networkd unless you've set it up yourself. 17.10 will use it under some circumstances, but that's still not released.
[09:59] <Duality> ducasse: what i read is that timesyncd syncs upon change from networkd, so how does this work then ?
[10:01] <ducasse> here timesyncd syncs every time it starts up, plus on clock drift and regular intervals aiui
[10:01] <ducasse> (17.04, but should be the same)
[10:01] <ducasse> ntpdate isn't installed either?
[10:03] <ducasse> or chrony?
[10:07] <Duality> ducasse: nope ntpdate isn't installed as is chrony not installed
[10:08] <ducasse> ok, then i'm rapidly running out of suggestions. 'works for me' isn't very helpful :)
[10:10] <ducasse> waitasecond - i can't find 0.ntp.ubuntu.com :)
[10:11] <ducasse> try 0.<2-letter country code>.pool.ntp.org
[10:11] <ducasse> check that it exists with ping first
[10:12] <ducasse> or use ntp.ubuntu.com if you want the ubuntu server, i use the ntp pool servers local to me
[10:21] <Duality> ducasse: i tried 0.ntp.pool.org (i can ping it)
[10:21] <ducasse> did you restart timesyncd?
[10:24] <iAmSlow> can i get a neweer version of mono ?
[10:24] <iAmSlow> is there some PPA or soemthing
[10:25] <iAmSlow> on solus i head 5.1.1 i think here i have 4.3.6
[10:26] <Ben64> ppa's are unsupported but go for it if you want
[10:26] <iAmSlow> i would prefere not but i think i have to right cuz there is no in defalut repo
[10:27] <Duality> ducasse: i got it working when i used 0.nl.ntp.pool.org
[10:27] <Ben64> you could use the repository from mono-project.com
[10:28] <iAmSlow> i think i am blind
[10:28] <lifeofguenter> hi all - how come I can launch official Debian EC2 AMI instances with a larger boot-drive, but Ubuntu not? E.g. with Ubuntu it will add a secondary EBS volume?
[10:29] <ducasse> Duality: brilliant, sorry i didn't spot that earlier - need more caffeine :-/
[10:29] <iAmSlow> or not it has only for 16.04
[10:29] <Ben64> iAmSlow: there is 16.04 and 14.04
[10:29] <iAmSlow> i am using 17 :(
[10:29] <Duality> ducasse: spot what ? I searched up servers for ntp.pool.org and that was the first i thought i would try that :)
[10:30] <ducasse> Duality: the invalid server, nvm
[10:30] <iAmSlow> anyway greate job on bodgie de it looks greate, for me even better then on solus
[10:35] <wook_> so i've got a good question, more of a reference kind of question really, so i want to create a server, and i'm wondering if ubuntu server or vanilla ubuntu desktop would be more recommended to use instead of say xubuntu or ubuntu studio or kubuntu or kylin ubuntu or whatever, or if pretty much they're all interchangeable
[10:35] <wook_> i always thought they were interchangeable until i tried using remote desktop with xubuntu as the host and found out xubuntu sucks for it
[10:37] <wook_> i just hate unity desktop with a passion
[10:39] <ducasse> wook_: for a server, use server
[10:41] <ducasse> server and desktop has different packages installed by default, server has a bunch of server-related tools etc, and no desktop by default
[10:42] <wook_> right i know that, but other than the default packages, everything else is pretty much the same isn't it?
[10:43] <ducasse> well, it's the same base, yes
[10:44] <iAmSlow> can i somehow get list of all instaled packages?
[10:44] <ducasse> iAmSlow: 'apt list --installed'
[10:46] <iAmSlow> ty
[10:47] <iAmSlow> sorry i forgot but how to push it to text file . apt list --installed | echo file ?
[10:48] <hateball> iAmSlow: apt list --installed > yourfile.txt
[10:49] <iAmSlow> ty
[10:52] <ducasse> iAmSlow: if you are trying to replicate your installed packages to another machine or new install, use apt-clone or dpkg --get-selections/--set-selections
[10:57] <hateball> !clone
[11:15] <Duality> ducasse: i am new to ntp and things, so i was just guessing what a server hostname should look like :D
[11:51] <razorsharpfang> My ubuntu VM is in a paused state, saying "A start job is running for Raise Network Interfaces" with a timer ticking up. Should I be concerned over this?
[11:53] <frostschutz> razorsharpfang, don't cut the red cable
[11:54] <razorsharpfang> Oh, I figured out what the problem was: the interface was waiting for the DHCP server to allocate it an address, except the DHCP server is offline.
[11:58] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[11:58] <ivan_man98> hi
[12:02] <gebbione> ok so i set with sudo a specific folder to be 777 just to test
[12:02] <gebbione> but i cannot ls with my default ubuntu user
[12:03] <gebbione> the folder and subfolders/files owned by another user
[12:04] <gebbione> i have also set +x on parent folder
[12:06] <EriC^^> gebbione: what's the path of the dir
[12:07] <gebbione> EriC^^, it is a go server .... so folders are owned by go under /var/lib/go-server/artifacts/serverBackups
[12:08] <gebbione> i need all these backups accessible
[12:08] <gebbione> but chmod go+x /var/lib/go-server/artifacts
[12:08] <gebbione> has made no difference
[12:08] <gebbione> i also put -R for recursive
[12:08] <EriC^^> gebbione: what about ls -l /var/lib/go-server ?
[12:09] <EriC^^> gebbione: can your user do "cd /var/lib/go-server/artifacts/serverBackups" ?
[12:09] <gebbione> permission denied
[12:09] <gebbione> no it cannot
[12:09] <EriC^^> gebbione: ok, add your user to it, sudo setfacl -m u:youruser:rx /var/lib/go-server
[12:11] <gebbione> if I do sudo setfacl -m u::rx /var/lib/go-server - would allow every user to read and execute?
[12:12] <EriC^^> i think that would give an error
[12:12] <EriC^^> if you want every user do chmod +rx /var/lib/go-server
[12:12] <gebbione> any reason the ls was not working using chmod then?
[12:13] <EriC^^> gebbione: it needs all the parents dirs to be accessible up to it
[12:13] <gebbione> so all of them, not just the parent
[12:13] <EriC^^> yeah
[12:14] <gebbione> ok thank you
[12:17] <EriC^^> gebbione: no problem
[12:38] <yorwos> hi all , i've been noticing last 2-3 months random freezes on my os. it appears that these freezes come only after suspending system to ram , waking up and then after some time while using chrome/firefox. any ideas ? this didnt happen ~3 months ago and then lates 2-3yrs until that time
[12:39] <yorwos> *i mean 2-3 yrs didnt have any problem suspending to ram until ~2-3motnhs ago
[12:41] <ivan_man98> i always have problems with suspending on linux..
[12:42] <ioria> yorwos, there is a  'how to debug suspend to RAM' guide, but never tried :  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelSuspend
[12:43] <yorwos> ioria: tyvm i will follow the troubleshooting guide
[12:52] <DWSR> Hey everyone, I'm trying to install Kubernetes onto Ubuntu via conjure-up following https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/install-kubernetes-with-conjure-up . When I SSH into the target box and run `conjure-up`, I get "the following arguments are required: spell". I installed `conjure-up` from apt, not snapd because snapd would not take the `--classic` flag. Any thoughts?
[12:54] <oerheks> DWSR, you might want to reask in #ubuntu-server or #kubernetes
[12:57] <DWSR> oerheks: lol, I think I figured it out. My snapd version was too old. Forgot that the Lightsail image is really old whereas the AMI is new.
[13:01] <tarball> Hey guys. I'm trying to mount an exFAT partition but it is giving me an error "FUSE exfat 1.2.3 ERROR: upcase table is not found."
[13:02] <oerheks> tarball, do a chkdisk in windows, i would not recommend the userland tools in ubuntu
[13:03] <tarball> oerheks, is there any chance of data loss if i'm using chkdisk ?
[13:03] <oerheks> tarball, how would we know?
[13:04] <ducasse> there is always a chance of losing data when the fs is corrupt
[13:04] <oerheks> a corrupt filesystem does not always lead to dataloss, this looks like just a dirty table
[13:04] <tarball> oerheks, i mean command doesn't directly erase something, right?
[13:05] <tarball> ducasse, Got it.
[13:06] <ducasse> oerheks: i didn't say always, i say the possibility exists :)
[13:07] <tarball> Thanks, ducasse and oerheks i know there can be dataloss. but data is not already accessible so it can't get worse than that.
[13:07] <oerheks> indeed, true, i hope tons of readers do a backup of their important data now
[13:07] <oerheks> and a backup of your backup, 1 backup is so 1999
[13:07] <ducasse> +1, backups <3
[13:18] <tomeaton17> What terminal tools do you guys use for serial monitoring? I have a serial device connected to my raspberry pi, and I need to control it via the terminal because I am ssh'd into the pi. I need to be able to send and receive, and I had no luck with minicom. Any other tools that can do this?
[13:20] <ducasse> screen, afaik, but minicom is generally what people use
[13:28] <tomeaton17> Ok, I think I am just going to use pyserial as thats the only one I can get to work
[13:31] <holgerdanske> Is there any way to locally host a VoiP switchboard and not need to subscribe to a VoiP service?
[13:32] <ducasse> that's not really an ubuntu question, probably better places to ask
[13:34] <ducasse> tomeaton17: btw, please don't crosspost
[13:41] <ghost-287> how can i install flashplayer for firefox?  flashplugin-installer?  browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash?  or other?
[13:43] <hateball> !flash | ghost-287
[13:44] <hateball> hmmm that is a bit outdated, there is also adobe-flash from partner repo
[13:45] <ghost-287> ok thank you
[13:47] <ducasse> ghost-287: the package you want is called adobe-flashplugin
[13:56] <ghost-287> these are the partners repositories, correct? https://dpaste.de/zEOG
[14:04] <ghost-287> --resolved--
[14:10] <skinux> How do I configure Ubuntu to automatically mount swap file? I put it in fstab, but it didn't work.

[14:12] <alsetema> Hello people. I am running a live session of Lubuntu here, and I am having some problems with the IW command. I installed the kernel modules for my alfa awus036 ach and it works well. The thing is, it is detected by iwconfig, and by the ip command as well, but the iw command wont detect the device nor the interface, why can this be?
[14:19] <davido_> I'm experiencing issues with some windows rendering improperly. Not quite sure how to describe it, but perhaps a picture paints the words: http://picpaste.com/Screenshot_from_2017-10-10_08-17-43-KDI6sxYd.png
[14:20] <davido_> ^^ Notice the calculator app, which shows the background through in the formula portion of the window.
[14:20] <tomreyn> alsetema: so "iw dev" doesn't list it? what does iwconfig say about it?
[14:20] <alsetema> Iwconfig shows all the info, everything correct, iw dev only shows the integrated wireless device of my laptoop and its interface (wlan0)
[14:22] <tomreyn> alsetema: what's the device ID (looking like [1234:5678]) of the "alfa awus036 ach" (in lsusb or lspci -nn)? hwich kernel modules are you using, where did you get them from, how do you use them?
[14:23] <alsetema> ID 0bda:8812 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8812AU 802.11a/b/g/n/ac WLAN Adapter
[14:23] <alsetema> that's for lsusb
[14:23] <alsetema> and the drivers from github.com/gnab/rtl8812au
[14:24] <alsetema> I'm using kernel 4.13.0-12-generic
[14:25] <alsetema> and I just used make to compile them and make install and modprobe 8812au
[14:25] <alsetema> It works, and can connect to networks and all, I just dont know why iw dev won't show it
[14:25] <alsetema> cat /proc/net/wireless shows it too
[14:27] <tomreyn> oh you can even bring it up, okay.
[14:27] <tomreyn> i'd kjust try with a real installation then.
[14:27] <wetterfuchs> does 'cp' overwrite existing files by default or does it prompt?
[14:28] <tomreyn> wetterfuchs: overwrites unless you use cp -i
[14:28] <alsetema> Yep, i can bring it up, ip commad works well with it
[14:28] <alsetema> Im sorry, noob here, with real installation you mean not-live of ubuntu? or real installation of the driver or?...
[14:29] <tomreyn> alsetema: a non-live ubuntu, but one installed persistently.
[14:29] <alsetema> Right... Unfortunately I cant try that right now but I will
[14:30] <alsetema> I have another issue... The sound card doesnt seem to be supported
[14:30] <alsetema> Just to be clear, im running lubuntu 17.10 because on previous versions of the kernel the wireless chip wasnt supported either (it's an intel atom cpu and a broadcom wireless chip)
[14:31] <davido_> Has anyone here seen this sort of window rendering problem? http://picpaste.com/Screenshot_from_2017-10-10_08-17-43-KDI6sxYd.png
[14:31] <tomreyn> alsetema: unsupported hardware is unsupported hardware, not much we can do about it.
[14:32] <alsetema> I see...
[14:32] <alsetema> One last inquiry
[14:32] <davido_> It shows up in Calculator, and in gedit
[14:32] <tomreyn> davido_: possibly a bad / misbehaving graphics driver, take a look at /var/log/Xorg.*.log - looking for any (EE) and (WW) records.
[14:32] <alsetema> Will i have any trouble by not being able to really use the IW command? or can I do everythig else with iwconfig and IP command?
[14:33] <tomreyn> davido_: if it's in a VM, try assigning more video RAM.
[14:34] <tomreyn> alsetema: personally i don't actuallyknow, i tend to use network-manager but i'm not sure how it managed the backend.
[14:34] <tomreyn> *manageS
[14:34] <tomreyn> i wuld just give it a try.
[14:35] <alsetema> Network-manager works well here, havent had any issue for now
[14:35] <davido_> Yeah, not a VM.  Also now WW nor EE entries in Xorg.failsafe.log or Xorg.0.log
[14:35] <davido_> s/now/no/, i mean
[14:35] <tomreyn> davido_: none at all? that's rare.
[14:36] <tomreyn> davido_: there can also be ~/.xsession-errors which may have hints on whats going wrong
[14:36] <davido_> That might be fruitful.
[14:38] <tomreyn> alsetema: then i'd just ignore that "iwconfig dev" doesn't list it. and personally i'd try more / harder to get things to work on an LTS release rathe than a release with 9 months of support.
[14:38] <alsetema> I think i will install linux on my laptop finally when the official release for 17.10 comes out. After many years of things being unsupported, this is kid of the first light for cherry trail cpus
[14:38] <alsetema> anyways, thank you for everything
[14:38] <alsetema> farewell
[14:39] <tomreyn> davido_: which hardware and driver is it, how did you install it?
[14:39] <tomreyn> and which ubuntu release + kernel version
[14:40] <davido_> $ uname -a

[15:23] <n35xdxb0> i have a bluetooth headset with microphone connected to my ubuntu laptop. sound is working fine. but it's not recognising the headset's microphone, any ideas?
[15:59] <Anticom> Hi all. I just got my new laptop and wanted to set up dual-boot alongside windows (which is already installed). I've known Ubuntu for quite some time but never put time into checking out the various flavours
[15:59] <Anticom> Thing now is, that I'm actually not that big of a Unity fan
[16:00] <Anticom> My first question would be, whether i could (easily) switch to another flavour once i've installed ubuntu by juggling arround with some packages
[16:00] <xangua> You have plenty of desktops choices
[16:00] <Anticom> afaik that should be rather straight forward or are there any pit-falls i'd have to be aware of?
[16:01] <xangua> Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu mate, Ubuntu gnome
[16:01] <BluesKaj> !flavors | Anticom
[16:01] <Anticom> xangua: My favourite choice would be what once was refered to as ubuntu (gnome) classic
[16:01] <Anticom> BluesKaj: I've checked that one out already :)
[16:01] <Anticom> However ubuntu classic isn't a thing anymore as far as i'm concerened
[16:02] <kostkon> !desktop
[16:02] <BluesKaj> Anticom, it's THE definitive site for info
[16:02] <Anticom> I'd like to have gnome but not that default gnome UI that's currently shipped
[16:02] <Anticom> I just want the bar at the top with an icon at the top left as my launcher
[16:02] <kostkon> Anticom, try mate
[16:03] <Anticom> kostkon: so mate is based on gnome?
[16:03] <xangua> Anticom: on gnome 2
[16:03] <kostkon> Anticom, yes gnome3 afaik, but with the gnome2 look-and-feel
[16:04] <kostkon> Anticom, or probably gnome2
[16:04] <Anticom> kostkon: and this is what the launcher looks like (when SUPER key is pressed) http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MD9-Bw30rek/U5ikWY_d6bI/AAAAAAAAI4A/hHPv-ueuxHo/s1000/slingscold-launcher-3.jpg ?
[16:05] <kostkon> Anticom, that's looks like a 3rd party launcher, more likely gnome shell's, on top of unity
[16:07] <Anticom> kostkon: But mate *has* a launcher where you can search for installed stuff?
[16:07] <Anticom> I never used mate, sorry for the stupid questions :S
[16:09] <kostkon> Anticom, https://ubuntu-mate.org/gallery/Screenshots/04_DESKTOP.png
[16:09] <`mist> Hi guys, i was stupid enough to enable automatic updates and now i'm sitting with a full boot partition and am unable to clean up the mess.... i can't install any packages as it complains about unmet dependencies
[16:12] <nacc> `mist: automatic updates don't necessarily cause that. But pastebin the output from the commands.
[16:14] <xtron> how to send message to user on terminal if know his ip_address ?
[16:14] <nacc> xtron: what does their IP address have to do with anything?
[16:15] <xtron> nacc: i'm on a network and there is not way to communicate with them, just know his ip address?
[16:16] <xtron> nacc: sending some message to someone on local network
[16:16] <Exagone313> you can start a very simple server with netcat for example
[16:16] <ioria> xtron, not without a server listing ....
[16:16] <Exagone313> see -l to listen
[16:17] <ioria> xtron,  iptux, netct -l , etc, etc,
[16:17] <ioria> xtron,  there is also the 'write' command
[16:19] <xtron> ioria: nacc Exagone313 : what the lister have to do ? if he don't know i'm trying to send him message ?
[16:20] <nacc> xtron: so you're trying to spam someone?
[16:20] <ioria> xtron,  you can't access his pc (without a piece of sw listening)
[16:20] <Exagone313> see more about networking stuff
[16:20] <Exagone313> programming :/
[16:20] <ioria> xtron,  figure out the chaos   :þ
[16:22] <ioria> xtron,  on win there was netsend, you just needed to know the ip
[16:22] <xtron> nacc: ioria: for example I've jabber but not IRC, but he has IRC but not jabber,
[16:22] <xtron> and I don't wana email "Hi, how are you?"
[16:23] <nacc> xtron: get over your "dont' want" and just do that?
[16:23] <ioria> xtron,  different port, different protocol probably
[16:23]  * nacc feels like this is an invented problem that doesn't really need solving
[16:24] <pavlos> xtron: there is "talk user@host"
[16:24] <ioria> yea, talk it's like write
[16:25] <xtron> nacc: not an invented problem, look there are solution ...
[16:25] <xtron> nacc: it's practical
[16:25] <Zabot> Ubuntu 16.04, ethernet interface goes down some time (10-60 minutes) after logging out, but is fine for hours while I'm logged in. Nothing in dmesg, problem is resolved by restarting NetworkManager, I have no idea where to begin debugging this. Any thoughts?
[16:25] <nacc> xtron: matter of opinion, in the 15 minutes you just sent, you could have sent the person what, 15 e-mails?
[16:26] <nacc> s/sent/spent/
[16:27] <ioria> he wants a pop up
[16:28] <nacc> which sounds like spam to me :)
[16:28] <ioria> yeah :9
[16:28] <pavlos> Zabot: look for mDNS messages in /var/log/syslog ... I had an issue where I would lose ip after a while, (Leaving mDNS multicast group on interface enp2s0.IPv4
[16:30] <Zabot> pavlos: It looks like it joined the multicast group when I restarted network manager this morning, but anything before that was truncated.
[16:31] <xtron> ioria: nacc pavlos: thanks
[16:31] <xtron> hope one of these methods work as I want :)
[16:32] <xtron> and generate a pop-up message, is't?
[16:40] <Scoop7> hello, where is phantomjs located in ubuntujs ?
[16:40] <Scoop7> I don't see it in /bin or /usr/local/bin or  /usr/bin
[16:40] <Scoop7> in ubuntu*
[16:41] <nacc> Scoop7: /usr/bin
[16:41] <nacc> Scoop7: per apt-file
[16:41] <nacc> Scoop7: what version of ubuntu?
[16:41] <Scoop7> 16.04
[16:42] <Scoop7> oh wait
[16:42] <Scoop7> . /usr/bin seemed empty at first... lol - it just loaded with a lot of stuff
[16:44] <max3> why am i getting this in a postgres docker build? https://apaste.info/lLc0
[16:45] <`mist> can't install packages on ubuntu 16.04 due to full boot sector:  https://thepasteb.in/p/O7h5mXW3vjDSq
[16:45] <`mist> any ideas?
[16:45] <oerheks> use apt-get autoremove, to delete unused kernels
[16:46] <nacc> `mist: did you manually try and delete some files in /boot?
[16:46] <BluesKaj> stuff . heh intersting pov
[16:47] <`mist> i did nacc
[16:49] <`mist> oerheks: doesn't work when boot is completely full
[16:50] <max3> why does `wget --quiet -O - https://www.postgresql.org/media/keys/ACCC4CF8.asc | apt-key add -
[16:50] <max3> ` work in a terminal but not in a docker build
[16:50] <nacc> max3: sounds like a docker question
[16:51] <max3> nacc, i think it's a gpg question actually; i get `gpg: WARNING: nothing exported
[16:51] <max3> `
[16:55] <n35xdxb0> how do i simulate scrolllock with xdotool? can't find the name of the key
[16:55] <nacc> max3: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20909111/adding-gpg-key-inside-docker-container-causes-no-valid-openpgp-data-found ?
[16:55] <nacc> max3: maybe similar
[16:56] <oerheks> mist yes it does, but you ran manually delete, then autoremove is useless
[16:57] <max3> thank you nacc
[16:58] <max3> nacc, didn't work though
[17:15] <clyp> I was working on stuff for class and my usb decided to error out now i've lost all my ubuntu work ( everything was done inside of ubuntu ) is there a way of retrieving the lost work either from the system its self or from the usb ?
[17:15] <clyp> i tried testdisk but it said that it was corrupt
[17:16] <clyp> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/25714919/
[17:17] <kostkon> !recovery
[17:18] <clyp> system works just fine ^^
[17:18] <kostkon> !rescue | clyp, you could start from here
[17:18] <kostkon> clyp, wrong factoid
[17:18] <clyp> its data retrieval I need
[17:18] <pavlos> `mist: if you make some room in /boot, then autoremove should work
[17:19] <kostkon> !recover
[17:19] <clyp> I used testdisk and posted the results ... http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/25714919/
[17:19] <clyp> says that for every linux partition
[17:59] <RonaldsMazitis> hello, is there possibility that router uses software that deny's linux as operating system to use internet with
[17:59] <RonaldsMazitis> (microsoft router or something)
[18:00] <leftyfb> RonaldsMazitis: highly unlikely
[18:00] <nacc> RonaldsMazitis: anything is "possible", but that seems a bit absurd
[18:01] <RonaldsMazitis> then why I could not connect with two wifi points with encryption they did not even asked me password
[18:01] <RonaldsMazitis> ubuntu 16.04
[18:02] <RonaldsMazitis> there should be wifi password question, but there was nothing
[18:02] <RonaldsMazitis> and it did not work for those two, but worked on some other random wifi point
[18:04] <superboot> Hi all. I don't want o reboot. Can I install a new version of Ubuntu to a fresh HDD with Ubiquity from the running Ubuntu install?
[18:05] <pavlos> RonaldsMazitis: "nmcli device wifi list" will list all AP around you
[18:07] <nacc> superboot: you'd eventually still need to reboot
[18:07] <clyp> been through various recovery tools and cant seem to recover the missing folders I lost any help would be great
[18:08] <superboot> nacc: Yeah, but I'm hopping to be able to get the system fully setup so the user can keep working untill they can reboot into the new, fully functioning and configured install.
[18:16] <gourgi> systemd, how can i include a requires service section in my unit.service? i have a unit that has mpd.service as a requirement (mpd.service is running) but when i start my user systemd unit is says that "Unit mpd.service not found."
[18:17] <gourgi>  systemctl list-units| grep mpd mpd.service                                                                               loaded active running   Music Player Daemon
[18:19]  * gourgi confused.    without mpd requirement my service runs fine
[18:22] <Ruff_Wizard[m]> What's faster, Windows or Ubuntu?
[18:22] <capella> While doing what? They're both blazing fast while idling
[18:23] <Ruff_Wizard[m]> Browsing and using programs.
[18:24] <tgm4883> Ruff_Wizard[m]: on what type of hardware? Browsing and "using programs" isn't really taxxing
[18:25] <Ruff_Wizard[m]> Lenovo E560 laptop.
[18:25] <Ruff_Wizard[m]> i5 processor
[18:25] <Ruff_Wizard[m]> 8GB Ram
[18:25] <ecdhe> I want to deploy some dconf settings to a number of xenial desktops.  I can see the settings I want to deploy when I run: dconf dump /org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/:b1dcc9dd-5262-4d8d-a863-c897e6d979b9/
[18:25] <Ruff_Wizard[m]> 500GB hybrid drive with 69GB free space
[18:25] <ikonia> you will not notice a difference Ruff_Wizard[m]
[18:25] <ikonia> Ruff_Wizard[m]: there is no "faster" option
[18:26] <Ruff_Wizard[m]> is it a stupid idea to get ubuntu if I want to support ubuntu over windows
[18:26] <ecdhe> However, I don't know how to determine the appropriate profile ID on each desktop
[18:26] <ikonia> Ruff_Wizard[m]: "if you want to support" ?
[18:26] <Ruff_Wizard[m]> ikonia: yeah, what's not clear?
[18:26] <ikonia> what you mean by "if you want to support"
[18:27] <nacc> Ruff_Wizard[m]: this is the "support" channel, so I think you might have used the wrong word.
[18:27] <ecdhe> The windows registry has the HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry directory; is there an equivalent dconf directory to allow me to write to the only the current user profile?  Or to override all user profiles?
[18:27] <Ruff_Wizard[m]> well, using an os is supporting and promoting it, because people will see that you're using it.
[18:27] <nacc> Ruff_Wizard[m]: did you mean, you want to encourage/support ubuntu's use?
[18:27] <ikonia> Ruff_Wizard[m]: you should use whatever works best for you / what ever you like using better
[18:28] <nacc> Ruff_Wizard[m]: right, that's not the use of that word in this channel, which is what made it confusing.
[18:28] <nacc> Ruff_Wizard[m]: but do whatever you want, so far you haven't actually expressed a support issue
[18:28] <nacc> Ruff_Wizard[m]: consider using #ubuntu-offtopic for discussion
[18:29] <Ruff_Wizard[m]> nacc: yeah, essentially
[18:30] <Ruff_Wizard[m]> all i'm saying is that i've had people who are pro- open-source and free software recommend me to start using it
[18:30] <Ruff_Wizard[m]> okay
[18:30] <Ruff_Wizard[m]> i'll join there
[18:30] <ikonia> Ruff_Wizard[m]: it's up to you what you use
[18:30] <pavlos> gourgi: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.unit.html
[18:30] <Ruff_Wizard[m]> okay
[18:30] <Ruff_Wizard[m]> at least you're being honest
[18:30] <nacc> Ruff_Wizard[m]: I think you're simply in the wrong channel. This channel is for helping resolve problems with Ubuntu
[18:31] <Ruff_Wizard[m]> no worries
[18:31] <Ruff_Wizard[m]> thanks anyway
[18:31] <Ruff_Wizard[m]> i'm going to the other one
[18:31] <RonaldsMazitis> pavlos nm-applet shows all wifis but I just could not connect
[18:33] <pavlos> RonaldsMazitis: look in dmesg ... there should be info when it authenticates
[18:36] <pavlos> RonaldsMazitis: also /var/log/kern.log has info
[18:36] <gourgi> pavlos: thanks but i can't see my failure there, i 'm requiring a unit that is already running as system unit.  and restarting  my user unit fails activating because it says system unit is not found
[18:37] <gourgi> pavlos: my mpd.service is running for sure but my user's unit fails to see that
[18:38] <gourgi> pavlos: i will dig further, thanks for the link anyway
[18:39] <pavlos> gourgi: you have Requires=mpd.service in [Unit]
[18:49] <nchambers> hey guys I'm trying to setup some init scripts for nginx on ubuntu 14.04, which I have installed in /opt/nginx/sbin/nginx. I tried using https://www.nginx.com/resources/wiki/start/topics/examples/ubuntuupstart/ and updated the path for nginx. This doesn't appear to properly control the service. Is there something better I can use
[18:49] <SchrodingersScat> Ruff_Wizard[m]: oh hey, so you got a 17.04 livedvd?
[18:49] <Ruff_Wizard[m]> SchrodingersScat: yes
[18:50] <gourgi> pavlos: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25715384/
[18:50] <SchrodingersScat> tell us more?
[18:50] <Ruff_Wizard[m]> SchrodingersScat: me?
[18:51] <SchrodingersScat> Ruff_Wizard[m]: yes, pls.
[18:52] <nacc> SchrodingersScat: do you know something we all don't? Ruff_Wizard[m] wasn't even asking for help when you asked if they had a livedvd?
[18:52] <Ruff_Wizard[m]> SchrodingersScat: that's it. I have a dvd and I used it once.
[18:53] <SchrodingersScat> nacc: dispute from another channel shed light on this information
[18:53] <gourgi> pavlos: look at the user .service. without the Requires=/After= lines , the unit runs correctly. why is it failing whie the mpd service is  Active: active (running) ?
[18:54] <nacc> SchrodingersScat: ah ok, it's good to mention that :)
[18:54] <Ruff_Wizard[m]> SchrodingersScat: I was gonna overwrite the dvd if I decide to update after 17.1 comes out. nothing much else to tell you.
[18:54] <Ruff_Wizard[m]> *install, not update
[18:55] <SchrodingersScat> Ruff_Wizard[m]: usb is easier for that, is it a dvd-rw?
[18:55] <Ruff_Wizard[m]> it is
[18:55] <pavlos> gourgi: maybe change Required= to Wants= (a weaker version of Requires= ... I keep reading the link I sent
[18:55] <Ruff_Wizard[m]> i'm using dvd because I don't have a free usb
[18:55] <tomreyn> nchambers: you could use the ubuntu packages
[18:56] <Ruff_Wizard[m]> btw do you know anything about what that person was saying in the other chat about having an extra partition? SchrodingersScat
[18:56] <gourgi> pavlos: i did it just now, the same output "Failed to restart mpdas.service: Unit mpd.service not found."
[18:56] <nchambers> tomreyn: no I can't
[18:57] <nacc> gourgi: pavlos: afaik, I don't believe user services can depend on system services
[18:57] <nacc> they run in totally different systemd instances, no?
[18:57] <tomreyn> nchambers: you could rebuild them to match your needs if needed. or re-use their initscripts
[18:58] <gourgi> nacc: i 'm thinking of it also, but how for example can i create a daemon that requires network-connection or apache running
[18:58] <nchambers> oh I thought you meant the nginx from the repos
[18:58] <nchambers> thanks I think that will work
[18:58]  * gourgi confused again
[18:58] <SchrodingersScat> Ruff_Wizard[m]: i think it was regarding that if you want to keep windows and install linux then it'll be the windows partition(s) and then a ubuntu partition + swap partition
[18:58] <nacc> gourgi: well, my first attempt would be to make your unit a system unit rather than a user unit and see if it works :)
[18:59] <gourgi> nacc: trying it now
[19:02] <Ruff_Wizard[m]> SchrodingersScat: what's a swap partition?
[19:02] <nacc> !swap | Ruff_Wizard[m]
[19:03] <Smokie> hey guys, i need help mounting a windows network share using cifs but im getting this error when i try to mount it: mount error(79): Can not access a needed shared library
[19:03] <Smokie> any ideas?
[19:03] <Ruff_Wizard[m]> ubottu: is it made after the linux installation or is it already there?
[19:04] <Ruff_Wizard[m]> nacc:
[19:04] <nacc> Ruff_Wizard[m]: you choose to make it or not durinng isntallation
[19:04] <ioria> Smokie, the complete mount command, please ?
[19:04] <nacc> Ruff_Wizard[m]: in latest ubuntu it is a swapfile
[19:05] <Smokie> ioria, sudo mount -a
[19:05] <Ruff_Wizard[m]> will the article tell me whether or not I need to make it?
[19:05] <ioria> Smokie, ok, so the fstab line ...
[19:05] <Smokie> ioria, i can use pastebin to show you the content of the /etc/fstab if you want
[19:05] <Smokie> one sec
[19:06] <nacc> gourgi: i'm not entirely sure i understand how it works, but are yhow it works, but are you using the packaged mpd in ubuntu? why do you need your own unit file?
[19:06] <nacc> Ruff_Wizard[m]: what article?
[19:06] <Ruff_Wizard[m]> nacc: the one you shared with me.
[19:07] <nacc> Ruff_Wizard[m]: I don't know. It will tell you what swap is, which was your original question.
[19:07] <Ruff_Wizard[m]> okay
[19:07] <Ruff_Wizard[m]> how do I find out how much to create?
[19:07] <Ruff_Wizard[m]> oh
[19:07] <nacc> Ruff_Wizard[m]: did you read the page?
[19:07] <Ruff_Wizard[m]> never mind
[19:07] <Ruff_Wizard[m]> ignore my question
[19:07] <Ruff_Wizard[m]> it says
[19:07] <Smokie> ioria, https://gist.github.com/anonymous/1ac5a2eef6bbd601c1c40009df112014
[19:08] <gourgi> nacc: making my unit as system unit works. i have to learn more of systemd logic though because i thought i could create a user service that "depends/requir" system rervices.
[19:08] <nacc> gourgi: not sure why you need that still
[19:09] <harovali> hi, what's a "yam32" process that eats 332% of cpu ?  googling doesn't help much.
[19:09] <gourgi> nacc: will do more diiging on this because i wanted to create a bunch of user units to run my script
[19:10] <gourgi> nacc: anyway thanks for your help
[19:11] <ioria> Smokie, looks fine; try to move credentials  in your home (and change the path)
[19:11] <nchambers> tomreyn: after using the system init script, I get: http://ix.io/B4U
[19:12] <Smokie> ioria, to my /home instead of /home/user ?
[19:12] <Ruff_Wizard[m]> question: i'm reading that during the ubuntu installation process you can enable encryption. i've read the short article on it on the ubuntu site. are there any downsides to doing this?
[19:12] <ioria> Smokie, nope, in YOUR home , /home/$USER
[19:12] <Ruff_Wizard[m]> apart from not being able to access anything if I forget my password
[19:13] <Smokie> ioria, it is there
[19:13] <ioria> Smokie, nope, credentials=/home/media/.smbc
[19:13] <Smokie> its located in /home/user/.smbc
[19:13] <ioria> Smokie, media is your username ?
[19:13] <Smokie> yes, the user is named media hehehe
[19:13] <Smokie> yeah
[19:13] <ioria> ok
[19:15] <ioria> Smokie, mmm, add 'sec=ntlm' after dir_mode=0777
[19:16] <winsoff> My friend installed an "xorg-xserver-core" package that was recommended in an askubuntu post, and now the recovery menu, her login screen, and other things freeze.
[19:16] <winsoff> How do I recover the installation? Can I boot a liveUSB and chroot into her install?
[19:16] <Smokie> ioria, separated with a comma?
[19:16] <ioria> Smokie, sure
[19:18] <Smokie> ioria, still same mount error
[19:18] <ioria> Smokie, are you mounting a folder  from windows ?
[19:19] <Smokie> ioria, yeah, it is a windows share
[19:19] <ioria> Smokie, and the win folder is shared ?
[19:19] <Smokie> ioria, yes, of course, i can access it from other machines using the username and password i have in .smbc folder
[19:21] <ioria> Smokie,  try   sudo mount -t cifs  -o uid=1000,gid=1000 //192.168.1.101/VMMedia  /home/media/share/VMMedia
[19:22] <ioria> Smokie,  from terminal, i mean
[19:22] <Smokie> ioria, i get this error mount: mount point //192.168.1.101/VMMedia  /home/media/share/VMMedia does not exist
[19:22] <Bashing-om> Ruff_Wizard[m]: What results with booting a liveDVD(USB) to the boot options screen -> "boot from first hard drive" ?
[19:22] <ioria> Smokie,  ok, check the path then
[19:22] <Ruff_Wizard[m]> Bashing-om: what?
[19:24] <Smokie> ioria, both are correct, the 'pwd' shows this "/home/media/share/VMMedia" and the Windows share path is correct too cuz i tried it with a mac and a couple of windows machines
[19:25] <ioria> Smokie,  i guess the error output is quite clear ...
[19:25] <Bashing-om> Ruff_Wizard[m]: You ask about the feasibility of a change root to access the installed system / If you can boot the installed system from the live environment, Will ease a lot of effort to restore the install ( as presently are not able to boot the install).
[19:26] <Smokie> ioria, that is bizarre, can you tell which path is incorrect from this error?
[19:26] <Ruff_Wizard[m]> who's not able to boot an install?
[19:26] <Smokie> the share or the local mount point?
[19:26] <Ruff_Wizard[m]> I don't understand, sorry
[19:27] <ioria> Smokie, one of the two ?
[19:31] <Florenos> how to fix this?
[19:31] <Florenos> error while loading shared libraries: libdb.so.3: cannot open shared
[19:32] <oerheks> Florenos, more details please, what ubuntu version, what program ?
[19:32] <Smokie> ioria, weird thing is i just connected to the same windows network share using mac and it works fine :s
[19:32] <Smokie> this is bizarre
[19:33] <Florenos> Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
[19:33] <tomreyn> nchambers: sorry i'm not sure i can help you there, i've not had to work with upstart jobs in a while
[19:33] <ioria> Smokie, does it prompts you for a passwd ?
[19:33] <oerheks> Florenos, time to update to 16.04.3 btw
[19:34] <Florenos> but how to install that libs?
[19:34] <oerheks> you didn´t answer wwhat program causes this?
[19:34] <Florenos> its an email server client
[19:35] <oerheks> .. why don't you give the details,'an email client' .... do we need to ask what client?
[19:35] <Florenos> popauth
[19:39] <Smokie> ioria, yes, it does
[19:43] <newly_bashed> how to get number of threads available in system using command on number of threads
[19:43] <Bashing-om> Ruff_Wizard[m]: Apologies, as I have my nicks crossed :(
[19:44] <newly_bashed> * only
[19:44] <Ruff_Wizard[m]> Bashing-om: what does that mean? tagged the wrong person?
[19:44] <ioria> Smokie, what ubuntu are you running ? desktop, server, mini ...
[19:45] <newly_bashed> thank you for helping as well
[19:45] <Bashing-om> Ruff_Wizard[m]: Yes, the person I meant to addres has left . and I did not pay attention to my tab completion :(
[19:46] <Ruff_Wizard[m]> Bashing-om: np, it happens
[19:46] <dchotas> Hey guys, I have a laptop with dual gpu(integrated+discrete) and I don't have an option from my vendor to disable the onboard GPU from BIOS. Is it possible to override this setting on Ubuntu?
[19:46] <Smokie> ioria, server
[19:46] <Smokie> LTS
[19:48] <ioria> Smokie,  uname -r   ?
[19:48] <BluesKaj> dchotas, Optimus?
[19:50] <dchotas> BluesKaj, thanks, for some reason I wasn't finding references anywhere
[19:50] <Smokie> ioria, 4.4.0-87-generic
[19:51] <newly_bashed> how to get number of cpu threads available in system using command output should only says number of threads
[19:52] <ioria> Smokie,  you need to upgrade your server, but that's not the point
[19:52] <oerheks> newly_bashed, lscpu would tell
[19:52] <BluesKaj> dchotas, are the gpus intel onboard and nvidia for the higher loads
[19:53] <Smokie> ioria, i will do that once i figure out how i can do everything
[19:53] <ioria> yeah
[19:53] <newly_bashed> only number of thread
[19:53] <newly_bashed> like 8
[19:53] <Smokie> right now im just testing stuff to make sure it works and taking notice for "final build"
[19:53] <oerheks> newly_bashed, learn how to use the grep command to filter the output
[19:53] <Smokie> its for a home media center
[19:53] <newly_bashed> ohk
[19:53] <dchotas> BluesKaj, yes, but I'd like to force discrete GPU usage for gaming purposes, I'm trying out this driver but it insists in loading the intel graphics. https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/ubuntu/graphics-drivers
[19:53] <newly_bashed> sample command please
[19:53] <newly_bashed> and thank you
[19:54] <ioria> Smokie,  sudo mount -t cifs   //192.168.1.101/VMMedia  /home/media/share/VMMedia
[19:54] <oerheks> lscpu | grep "something"
[19:55] <BluesKaj> !optimus
[19:56] <Smokie> ioria "mount: can't find //192.168.1.101/VMMedia  /home/media/share/VMMedia in /etc/fstab"
[19:56] <Smokie> kinda confusing hehehe
[19:57] <ioria> Smokie, paste 'mount' please
[19:57] <BluesKaj> !bumblebee
[19:57] <newly_bashed> is there way to only show right side menu
[19:57] <newly_bashed> like
[19:57] <newly_bashed> in L3 cache:              30720K
[19:57] <newly_bashed> only 30720K  should show
[19:58] <newly_bashed> possible ?
[19:59] <vanek> hi lads & lasses, how can I keep using DHCP but set static dns in ubuntu 17.04?
[19:59] <Smokie> ioria, https://gist.github.com/anonymous/6e637960744097d5d79e3848cd3b044d
[19:59] <vanek> i have dns issues upon connecting to openvpn client
[19:59] <newly_bashed> ?
[20:00] <ioria> Smokie,  maybe a vm lxc issue... ?
[20:00] <tgm4883> newly_bashed: you could pipe it to 'cut'
[20:01] <Smokie> ioria, i doubt it, cuz last night i got it to work before i Reverted the VM to test the same commands again and make sure everything is correct :s
[20:01] <Smokie> i guess i missed something in my notes
[20:01] <ioria> Smokie,  my guess is that you miss something :þ
[20:02] <Smokie> heheh yup, my thoughts exactly
[20:02] <ioria> Smokie,  sy, give up, someone might help you
[20:02] <Smokie> i remember getting this mount error 79 and i fixed it by adding the full path to the mount point, but this time it didnt help heheh
[20:02] <newly_bashed> pie it ?
[20:03] <newly_bashed> tgm4883 pipe it
[20:04] <tgm4883> newly_bashed: yes, so you'd run something like "lscpu | grep whatever | cut -d ' ' -f 2"
[20:04] <tgm4883> newly_bashed: or something like that
[20:04] <tgm4883> newly_bashed: pipe being the | character
[20:05] <newly_bashed> no output
[20:06] <tgm4883> newly_bashed: did you alter the command I gave you?
[20:06] <newly_bashed> no
[20:07] <tgm4883> newly_bashed: you need to alter that command to get whatever you're looking for
[20:08] <tgm4883> newly_bashed: so for virtualization, this should work  "lscpu | grep Virtualization | cut -d ' ' -f 9"
[20:08] <tgm4883> granted, awk is probably better for this sort of thing
[20:08] <newly_bashed> blank
[20:10] <nacc> tgm4883: -f 7, i thinkn
[20:10] <nacc> tgm4883: awk would definitely be better :)
[20:10] <tgm4883> nacc: it was -f9 on mine. As I said before, awk is way better for this
[20:10] <tgm4883> newly_bashed: I'd look at using AWK for it
[20:11] <nacc> or sed, as it's aligned text in both lscpu and /proc/cpuinfo
[20:11] <nacc> there are lots of options
[20:12] <bennie> NickServe IDENTIFY bennie
[20:12] <newly_bashed> when type
[20:13] <newly_bashed> lscpu | grep "L3 cache"
[20:13] <newly_bashed> lscpu | grep "L3 cache"
[20:13] <newly_bashed> output is
[20:13] <newly_bashed> L3 cache:              30720K
[20:13] <newly_bashed> but only want
[20:13] <newly_bashed>  30720K
[20:13] <wook_> so i resized a fat32 partition with gparted in xubuntu live usb, created 2 new partitions, one a ext4 and the other a little 2gb linux-swap partition, and it went through no problem. thunar and nautilus can see and access the files that were there. but when i went back into my win7 boot now windows can't see the partition anymore, anyone know how to fix this?
[20:13] <tgm4883> newly_bashed: yes, you need to use awk for that
[20:14] <newly_bashed> sample command
[20:14] <tgm4883> newly_bashed: what are you actually trying to acomplish here?
[20:15] <newly_bashed> only output of number of cpu threads
[20:16] <nacc> newly_bashed: why?
[20:16] <tgm4883> newly_bashed: what are you feeding this to though? I mean there has to be a reason you need it in this specific format
[20:16] <tgm4883> There might be an easier way to get this into whatever you are trying to consume it with
[20:16] <EriC^^> newly_bashed: lscpu | awk '/L3 cache/ { print $3 }'
[20:17] <newly_bashed> can I remove K as well
[20:17] <nacc> newly_bashed: it feels like we are doing your homework
[20:17] <nacc> newly_bashed: read `man awk`, `man sed`, etc.
[20:17] <EriC^^> newly_bashed: sure
[20:17] <newly_bashed> sorry guys
[20:18] <tgm4883> newly_bashed: yea what class is this for?
[20:18] <newly_bashed> helping mate
[20:18] <newly_bashed> I think so lol
[20:18] <nacc> newly_bashed: helping them do what?
[20:18] <tgm4883> their homework ;)
[20:18] <nacc> lol
[20:19] <newly_bashed> to get fancy numbers
[20:19]  * tgm4883 goes back to configuring aws servers
[20:19] <EriC^^> newly_bashed: lscpu | awk '/L3 cache/ { print $3 }' | sed -e 's/K//'
[20:19] <newly_bashed> wow guys
[20:20] <newly_bashed> thanks everyone
[20:20] <nacc> newly_bashed: ok, while EriC^^ is helping you, you may want to learn how to answer questions in a slightly more helpful way.
[20:20] <newly_bashed> I have one more but I think you guys are not in mood to help ( do homework )
[20:21] <newly_bashed> lol
[20:21] <nacc> newly_bashed: if you tell us you are doing homework, we can decide to help or not. If you basically hide that instead, I, at least, have no interest in helping you ... also, you aren't learning *anything* if you just go on IRC and ask for the answers to a problem.
[20:21] <tgm4883> newly_bashed: I'm sure someone will help you
[20:21] <newly_bashed> ok so can we calculate using bash
[20:21] <newly_bashed> sorry
[20:21] <newly_bashed> msging
[20:21] <newly_bashed> frd
[20:22] <Bashing-om> newly_bashed: We do not do your homework for you . but we will assist in directing your true efforts .
[20:22] <tgm4883> Bashing-om: nacc +1
[20:22] <tgm4883> There's enough bad engineers out there without us helping make them
[20:23] <newly_bashed> oops looks like someone is getting angry
[20:23] <tgm4883> uh oh. Who's angry?
[20:23] <newly_bashed> just fingering
[20:24] <leftyfb> newly_bashed: the point is, we're not here to do your homework for you. The fact that people have already told you to use grep and cut and you didn't already know that, says you haven't learned it yet and are jumping ahead or were taught it but didn't pay attention. Or you're supposed to be researching (gooling) and not asking someone else for the answer
[20:25] <tgm4883> newly_bashed: I'm not angry. I'm just tired of interviewing systems engineers that can't explain to me simple things.
[20:25] <newly_bashed> googling since last 5hrs
[20:25] <newly_bashed> I am trying to express but as not being true English speaker its hard for me
[20:26] <leftyfb> newly_bashed: https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-use-grep-command-in-linux-unix/
[20:26] <leftyfb> newly_bashed: http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2013/06/cut-command-examples
[20:26] <tgm4883> newly_bashed: I find that a bad excuse since you were given the commands that you needed...
[20:26] <leftyfb> newly_bashed: both of those were the very first results on google
[20:27] <newly_bashed> as I don't had idea
[20:27] <newly_bashed> that I should use grep
[20:27] <newly_bashed> as I used something like
[20:27] <newly_bashed> cat ./cpuinfo
[20:27] <leftyfb> newly_bashed: because that isn't the answer your instructor was looking for or you didn't pay attention in class
[20:28] <tgm4883> This is all getting further off topic of support
[20:28] <tgm4883> newly_bashed: do you have a ubuntu support question?
[20:28] <newly_bashed> support question /
[20:29] <leftyfb> newly_bashed: what is your ubuntu specific support question?
[20:31] <newly_bashed> I think I should google it first
[20:31] <newly_bashed> so googling
[20:35] <n35xdxb0> is there a way of adding a private key argument in rsync? like in ssh, where you can do -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa
[20:35] <leftyfb> n35xdxb0: yes
[20:36] <leftyfb> n35xdxb0: http://bfy.tw/EP2G
[20:38] <newly_bashed> lscpu | awk '/L3 cache/Core(s) per socket { print $3 }' | sed -e 's/K//'
[20:39] <newly_bashed> awk: cmd. line:1: (FILENAME=- FNR=1) fatal: function `Core' not defined
[20:42] <newly_bashed> should I google more :(
[20:43] <newly_bashed> Core(s) per socket is what I am trying
[20:43] <newly_bashed> which is probably threads
[20:44] <newly_bashed> "Core(s) per socket"
[20:45] <EriC^^> newly_bashed: it's awk '/searchstring/ {print $columnumber}'   (space is the delimiter for the columns)
[20:46] <newly_bashed> oh
[20:46] <n35xdxb0> leftyfb: not what i was asking, how to use rsync with ssh. i was asking if rsync has an argument for adding a private key. like unison has -sshargs="-i ~/.ssh/id_rsa". but i got the answer, it's -e 'ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa'
[20:46] <newly_bashed> so I have to specify column number as well
[20:46] <newly_bashed> like
[20:47] <Peyam> hi
[20:47] <newly_bashed> lscpu | awk '/L3 cache/Core(s) per socket { print $3 $1 }' | sed -e 's/K//'
[20:47] <leftyfb> uh
[20:47] <Peyam> I try to uninstall Qucs from my distro. it doesnt want to unsinatall
[20:47] <tgm4883> newly_bashed: you're missing the grep
[20:47] <tgm4883> oh wait, that looks wonky
[20:47] <newly_bashed> why grep
[20:47] <Bashing-om> !info qucs
[20:47] <tgm4883> why do you have L3 cache in there
[20:47] <EriC^^> newly_bashed: i dont think you can easily search for both strings at the same time
[20:48] <Peyam> !info gucs-spice
[20:48] <newly_bashed> that why I failed
[20:48] <leftyfb> n35xdxb0: you're welcome. Because the answer I gave you was the answer you were looking for. It actually had the EXACT answer you seemed to have got on your own.
[20:48] <Peyam> !info qucs-spice
[20:48] <kostkon> Peyam, which distro?
[20:48] <Peyam> 16.04
[20:48] <Peyam> kostkon, 16.04
[20:49] <Peyam> kostkon, this is the fault message I get : https://pastebin.com/9Qatf3qg
[20:49] <nacc> Peyam: it's a snap?
[20:49] <nacc> Peyam: contact the snap owner
[20:49] <Peyam> nacc appereantly
[20:50] <kostkon> Peyam, what's the name of the snap package?
[20:50] <nacc> Peyam: https://github.com/eldarkg/qucs-spice-snap/issues
[20:50] <Peyam> I just installed it. why cant I unstall it
[20:50] <nacc> Peyam: (snap info qucs-spice gave that)
[20:50] <nacc> Peyam: dunno, ask in #snappy
[20:50] <n35xdxb0> leftyfb: huh, i thought it was just a troll video? i got the answer from koala_man on #linux. i googled your question, and it was mainly people combining rsync with ssh. i was just looking for the '-e' option. which isn't well explained on the man page. (which i looked at before coming here)
[20:50] <leftyfb> n35xdxb0: you shouldn't cross-post questions
[20:51] <n35xdxb0> leftyfb: i went there after you posted what i thought was a troll link
[20:51] <tgm4883> why would he give you a troll link?
[20:52] <leftyfb> n35xdxb0: the link had the answer you were looking for on the first result, as well as gave you the exact search terms I used to find the answer
[20:52] <Peyam> nacc, there is no channel name snappy
[20:52] <Peyam> kostkon, How Can I find the name?
[20:52] <leftyfb> Peyam: /join #snppy
[20:52] <tgm4883> oh
[20:52] <tgm4883> leftyfb: don't do that
[20:53] <newly_bashed> EriC^^ can you help me
[20:53] <kostkon> Peyam, try in the terminal    sudo snap remove qucs-spice
[20:53] <nacc> Peyam: uh, yes there is, on FreeNode
[20:53] <Peyam> kost done it ! nothing happens :(
[20:53] <EriC^^> newly_bashed: what did you try?
[20:53] <leftyfb> tgm4883: don't give a link to the answer and the search results I used to find the answer?
[20:53] <newly_bashed> yes
[20:53] <tgm4883> !lmgtfy | leftyfb
[20:53] <EriC^^> newly_bashed: what command did you make and didn't work?
[20:53] <Peyam> nacc, Im on ubuntu servers
[20:53] <leftyfb> tgm4883: I didn't tell anyone to "google it". I did the googling for them.
[20:54] <tgm4883> leftyfb: sending them a link to lmgtfy is generally frowned upon. I think you knew that though since you went through the effort of hiding the link
[20:54] <nacc> Peyam: i don't know what you mean.
[20:54] <newly_bashed> lscpu | awk '/L3 cache/Core(s) per socket { print $3 $1 }' | sed -e 's/K//' hehe :))
[20:54] <nacc> Peyam: this channel is on FreeNode. so is #snappy
[20:54] <leftyfb> tgm4883: nope, no trouble. I have an extension that takes my search result and sticks the link into my paste buffer
[20:55] <Peyam> nacc, oh oh you wrote first with two ##
[20:55] <tgm4883> leftyfb: ok, well in any case. Now you know
[20:56] <nacc> Peyam: the logger hasn't caught up, but I don't think I did.
[20:56] <newly_bashed> have you ever seen stupid command as above
[20:56] <Peyam> nacc,  you are right. I saw bad
[20:57] <EriC^^> newly_bashed: read this http://tldp.org/LDP/GNU-Linux-Tools-Summary/GNU-Linux-Tools-Summary.pdf
[20:58] <EriC^^> newly_bashed: if you have time also read this http://tldp.org/LDP/sag/sag.pdf
[21:00] <newly_bashed> oops got so much study material
[21:02] <newly_bashed> I promise I will read everything
[21:02] <newly_bashed> please help me now
[21:04] <EriC^^> newly_bashed: you wouldn't have learned anything if i do and it's homework
[21:05] <tgm4883> newly_bashed: you've already been told it's more difficult to search for both those lines in a single command, so split it into two
[21:05] <tgm4883> Not to mention this isn't exactly ubuntu support
[21:06] <Hurricane314> Hello!
[21:07] <Peyam> can find anything
[21:09] <Hurricane314> I have a question about GRUB. When I turn on my computer I see two entries for Windows, one is "Windows Boot UEFI loader" and one is "Windows Boot Manager (via /dev/sda2)". What's the difference between these?
[21:11] <EriC^^> newly_bashed: you have to escape some stuff, i advise reading the gnu tools summary it's quick and teaches a lot, lscpu | awk '/L3 cache/ {print $3} /Core\(s\) per/ { print $4 }'
[21:12] <EriC^^> newly_bashed: you should read both of them, it'd help you a lot
[21:12] <newly_bashed> for sure
[21:12] <dckx-g> hi, I have a gygabite aero14v7 laptop, and I'm trying to connect to screens to it, one via hdmi and the other one via mini display port... none of the screens are being recognized. The same screens were recognized by a different laptop using the same Ubuntu version (16.04)
[21:12] <EriC^^> read the sag.pdf first, then the gnu commands one, they're not that long once you start reading them
[21:13] <newly_bashed> you are ginus
[21:13] <newly_bashed> genius
[21:14] <EriC^^> newly_bashed: no, i read them :D
[21:14] <newly_bashed> heh
[21:14] <newly_bashed> heh
[21:14] <newly_bashed> hehe
[21:14] <newly_bashed> but you just saved me running extra cmd
[21:16] <EriC^^> newly_bashed: sorry, it should be lscpu | awk '/L3 cache/ {print $3} /Core\(s\) per/ { print $4 }' | sed -e 's/K//'
[21:17] <newly_bashed> I can do that by my self
[21:17] <newly_bashed> I mean
[21:18] <newly_bashed> don't do that much for me
[21:20] <EriC^^> no worries :)
[21:21] <dckx-g> so, anyone around has an idea on where to start troubleshooting my issue? Ubuntu 16.04 not recognizing additional displays connected to a laptop
[21:22] <bcowan> check in /var/log/Xorg.0.log and see whats going on
[21:27] <dckx-g> bcowan: Thanks, I just checked it. So, should I be looking for something in particular? This is the closest to my additional monitors not being recognized or something:  9.115] (II) modeset(0): Output eDP-1 connected
[21:27] <dckx-g> [     9.115] (II) modeset(0): Output DP-1 disconnected
[21:27] <dckx-g> [     9.115] (II) modeset(0): Output DP-2 disconnected
[21:30] <bcowan> dckx-g, well at least the are getting recognized, you may have some key sequence or something to enable them idk
[21:33] <dckx-g> bcowan: ok, cool, thank you
[21:35] <bcowan> dckx-g, have you checked system settings/display and see if they show up there
[21:37] <dckx-g> bcowan: yes, they don't. I read somewhere that people where having problems getting screens recognized with this laptop, just can't remember where. Could it have to do with the fact I'm using nouveau drivers instead of nvidia?
[21:38] <bcowan> dckx-g, could be idk...just throwing out suggestions
[21:39] <dckx-g> bcowan: sure, thanks. I'm trying to get support in the nvidia channel now, we'll see if they can help
[21:45] <Hurricane314> Can anyone answer me?
[22:10] <binarydepth> Is the "ubuntu-bug" command destined for end users?
[22:10] <binarydepth> Is the "ubuntu-bug" command destined for end users?
[22:10] <nacc> binarydepth: yes
[22:10] <teward> binarydepth: it's destined for multiple classes of users, including end users
[22:10] <teward> so it is destined for end users (as well as power users like myself)
[22:10] <nacc> although "destined" seems a bit extravagant
[22:11] <teward> ^ that
[22:12] <binarydepth> hahhaha Ok thank you guys, I was in doubt of using it
[22:13] <netsrot> Hi, how do I configure networking no to block booting and just run in background?
[22:13] <binarydepth> I have used it before but I never asked for that info
[22:13] <binarydepth> Is there a way to promote a bug report?
[22:14] <nacc> binarydepth: what do you mean?
[22:14] <binarydepth> look for other to check if they are affected too. Maybe some people just live with the bug or don't know they can file a bug report
[22:15] <binarydepth> Has any way being set to do this?
[22:15] <binarydepth> been*
[22:15] <nacc> binarydepth: I'm sorry, still don't understand. You want, when you file a bug, for Launchpad to find if anyone who has not filed a bug is affected?
[22:16] <teward> binarydepth: short of going and looking through bugs yourself, no there's no way to see if the bug is affecting others
[22:16] <binarydepth> Mmmm maybe the simple way will be to go to the point. I want to see if the bug can get more "affects me" marks
[22:18] <binarydepth> Launchpad asks if a bug also affects me in any bug I see. So I want to see if others can check my bug and see if it affects them
[22:18] <binarydepth> Is a Thunderbird bug so it could be there for many people
[22:18] <teward> binarydepth: i suggest looking through the Thunderbird bugs first
[22:18] <teward> before you create a bug
[22:18] <teward> because it's entirely possible the issue's already been reported
[22:19] <binarydepth> I did, but I will double check
[22:20] <nacc> binarydepth: ok, but what you're askinng for (it reads) is that if you file a bug, you somehow want everyone who uses thunderbird to be notified if their bug is your bug?
[22:23] <binarydepth> No I think that's done by devs when they mark as duplicate. I guess I can simply go to the forums and ask my question with a link, so anyone who sees the post can test if they have the same bug and decide if they want to mark themselves affected
[22:27] <dckx-g> hello. Would anyone be kind enough to guide me through the process of installing nvidia drivers for my laptop? I did it in the past and I messed up everything and ended up having to reinstall  ubuntu
[22:31] <Bashing-om> dckx-g: Sure. what is the hardware and what drivers are presently installed ? Pastebin - lspci -k|grep -iEA5 'vga|3d' ; dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia* - .
[22:36] <dckx-g> Bashing-om: thank you. I was trying to figure out how many commands are in your message? I tried running them together but I got a few error messages. Am I supposed to run them separately and pastebin each output?
[22:37] <binarydepth> here's the post: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2373908&p=13696490#post13696490
[22:45] <dckx-g> Bashing-om: lspci -k: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25716365/
[22:45] <dckx-g> Bashing-om:  lspci -k|grep -iEA5 'vga|3d'  https://paste.ubuntu.com/25716410/
[22:45] <dckx-g> Bashing-om: dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia* - . https://paste.ubuntu.com/25716417/
[22:45] <dckx-g> Bashing-om: is that correct?
[22:46] <Bashing-om> dckx-g: I wandered away .. looking ^ .
[22:49] <Bashing-om> dckx-g: Hybrid graphics - no nvidia driver is installed . What release is this ? As it now makes a difference .
[22:50] <dckx-g> Bashing-om: Ubuntu 16.04. By the way, my computer is fine as it is with no nvidia drivers, excepting that it doesn't recognize two screens I'm connecting to it. If there is a different approach to getting those screens working, that'd be fine by me.
[22:50] <binarydepth> So it wasn't a bug, just a default setting
[22:53] <Bashing-om> dckx-g: No experience with multi-monitors I can not directly advise . Were me I would install the nvidia driver .
[22:53] <dckx-g> Bashing-om: ok, cool. Let's do it then
[22:55] <Bashing-om> dckx-g: run ' sudo apt purge nvidia* ; sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade ; sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall ' . reboot and let's see what we look like .
[22:58] <dckx-g> done, rebooting now
[23:01] <zenguy> hey which is the best ftp client for ubuntu gnome, gftp?
[23:01] <zenguy> filezilla?
[23:01] <zenguy> hmm
[23:02] <dckx-g> Bashing-om: ok
[23:03] <Bashing-om> dckx-g: "OK" as in all is now good ?
[23:03] <dckx-g> Bashing-om: ok as in "I'm back"... but yes, things seem to be good
[23:04] <zenguy> eh hehe i'll try them all
[23:05] <Bashing-om> dckx-g: Great . I would be interested in seeing what the system chose . ' sudo lshw -C display ; dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia* ; .
[23:06] <netsrot> How do I use -nw option with dhclient in the config file?
[23:07] <dckx-g> Bashing-om: lshw http://paste.ubuntu.com/25716550/
[23:08] <dckx-g> Bashing-om: dpkg http://paste.ubuntu.com/25716561/
[23:10] <Bashing-om> dckx-g: Looks good :) ..it is nvida-prime to control the graphic sets . nvidia-setting for the displays .
[23:10] <dckx-g> Bashing-om: great, thank you!
[23:10] <Seveas> netsrot: I'm afraid that that's not possible
[23:11] <Seveas> The docs don't mention an option, so I looked at the source, and there's nothing there either.
[23:13] <netsrot> Seveas: I found I should use allow-hotplug to get the same effect. I haven't tried it yet.
[23:14] <Seveas> netsrot: I'd be surprised. allow-hotplug doesn't exist :)
[23:15] <Bashing-om> dckx-g: glad2help :)
[23:16] <netsrot> Should be possible to use it in interfaces file.
[23:16] <Seveas> ah, ok, so fixing the problem before dhclient starts
[23:18] <randomguy01> i have samba set up and working, and sshfs setup and working, however if I sshfs to a mount point in the samba share, windows 10 cant access it. (double checked all the usual stuff like user perms and allow other), ideas as to why this might be?
[23:19] <randomguy01> oh and hello room :)
[23:20] <dckx-g> now, I have a pretty weird situation with the multiple displays, in case someone wants to throw a hand. I have 3 screens. External1 and External2 work fine. Built-in only shows cursor, but it is black other than that. Built-in is recognized in ubuntu settings, but not recognized in nvidia settings. Any ideas?
[23:23] <randomguy01> dckx-g: sounds like an issue I ran into years ago, turned out it needed a bios update to patch some video stuff
[23:27] <Bashing-om> dckx-g: That the internal display is not functional is surprising . What results when shutting dowm, disconnecting the 2 external displays and now booting up , Is the internal display now good ?
[23:29] <dckx-g> Bashing-om: I don't about restarting yet, but if I mirror the displays, they all work.
[23:29] <Bashing-om> dckx-g: Regrets, but now out of my experience range .
[23:30] <dckx-g> Bashing-om: no worries, thanks for all the help. I will reboot now anyway to see what happens
[23:43] <dckx-g> any expert with multiple displays? I have two external screens and a built-in display in a laptop. The two external displays work fine. The built'in is recognized by ubuntu but not recognized in nvidia-settings. The screen is black, but I can see the mouse cursor when I move between the external screens.
[23:51] <bencc> I'm trying to make ssh user on ubuntu server use the server locale. tried to comment "#AcceptEnv LANG LC_*" in /etc/ssh/sshd_config but it has no effect
