[13:46] <eater9> alkisg: Nope, the source code is in monospace font and looks correct [13:46] <JonelethIrenicus> where can I set an environmental variable and have it picked up system wide? [13:46] <JonelethIrenicus> will .bashrc do that?

[13:48] <leftyfb> JonelethIrenicus: try it [13:49] <alkisg> eater9: if you copy/paste it, does it display correctly? [13:50] <alkisg> (e.g. in gedit) [13:51] <eater9> alkisg: Yes it does [13:51] <DArqueBishop> pankaj__: there are good console IRC clients like irssi and Weechat. [13:51] <alkisg> eater9: it sounds like a broken font issue then, does it happen in a default install, or did you add some new broken font?

[14:07] <Dworf> using same path to "startup aplications" and it starts it, but still asking passwd? [14:08] <leftyfb> Dworf: why aren't you starting it up as root as a systemd unit or cron job or rc.local? [14:09] <Dworf> its application with UI aint that a problem if i start it from cmd before the user has even logged in? [14:09] <leftyfb> Dworf: you're running a UI program on boot that requires sudo?

[14:30] <oerheks> sudo vim <file> [14:30] <PCatinean> oerheks, i mean automatically without having access to it, this is for a CI to add more files to the exclusion [14:30] <alkisg> sed 's/exclude = foo/& bla/' file.cfg [14:30] <alkisg> & instead of \& [14:31] <alkisg> So, sed 's/exclude = foo,bar/&,bla/' file.cfg [14:31] <alkisg> (-i to write to the file) [14:34] <PCatinean> alkisg, I can assume the content will change though [14:34] <PCatinean> and it still needs to work [14:49] <niels__> anyone know where i can read about /var/log/auth.log? about the format, meaning of the fields, etc [14:53] <Dani-hp> Is there a way to change the Unity Launcher Items (Default App's) for every user? even after they are created?

[15:10] <CuChulaind> https://dpaste.de/wFZ9 [15:10] <CuChulaind> It doesn't appear to have done anything [15:11] <fuser> oerheks: That's gnome-terminal, also appears in terminator and others, and that's the vim app. [15:12] <fuser> oerheks: but its always there, not dependent on application [15:12] <nacc> CuChulaind: do you really only have the release pocket enabled?

[15:19] <oerheks> CuChulaind, open softwarecenter > sources, and enable them there?

[15:24] <tomreyn> note that since you never had security patches installed on this system it may have been compromised between when you installed it and now. so an alternative approach to consider is a fresh install with security updates enabled.

[15:27] <CuChulaind> tomreyn, I just may. [15:28] <nacc> svs: `dpkg -S /lib/xtables/libipt_TTL.so` ? [15:28] <oerheks> why is that dpaste so hard to read .. ignoring that. [15:28] <svs> nacc: dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern /lib/xtables/libipt_TTL.so [15:28] <nacc> svs: then it seems like you or someone installed that file manually from a non-package. [15:29] <svs> nacc: how? because it says the file doesn't exist: /lib/xtables/libipt_TTL.so: ERROR: cannot open `/lib/xtables/libipt_TTL.so' (No such file or directory) [15:30] <nacc> svs: what is "it" in that sentence?

[15:33] <tomreyn> so i guess the file was removed after you last ran apt -f install [15:33] <svs> I ran apt -f a few times, yes. [15:34] <tomreyn> svs: run: sudo apt update; sudo apt -f install now.

[15:40] <svs> not at all [15:40] <svs> that's the system name [15:40] <tomreyn> if the system cannot resolve itsown hostname you should fix this first [15:41] <svs> the sudo command generates it [15:41] <tomreyn> !hostname [15:41] <ubottu> Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. [15:42] <svs> fixed that. I edited the /etc/hosts file [15:42] <tomreyn> so if you run the commands again, this waninf is no longer printed?

[15:47] <ioria> sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite bla [15:48] <svs> I just tried it. same error....

[15:49] <svs> not even the directory [15:49] <svs> https://dpaste.de/Dtj2 [15:49] <ioria> svs, also paste ls /lib/xtables/libipt_* [15:50] <svs> ls: cannot access '/lib/xtables/libipt_*': No such file or directory [15:50] <svs> ls: cannot access '/lib/xtables': No such file or directory [15:51] <svs> the fact that the file is not there and it complains it exists is what baffles me [15:51] <tomreyn> 2014?

I created the directory and touched a file to see if the same error persists [15:57] <tomreyn> Zeljko: ampps is not in the ubuntu repositories, though. if you are looking for help with it, you will need to explain how you installed Ampps and which ubuntu version you run (lsb_release -sd). [15:57] <alkisg> svs: did you try rebooting?

[16:01] <EriC^^> that has linux with it installed? [16:01] <tomreyn> svs: did you try the command i posted last?

[17:53] <g0tcha> tgm4883: yes, it could work fine, and i updated the OS by downloading the files so it was online [17:53] <tgm4883> g0tcha: what version of ubuntu? [17:54] <g0tcha> tgm4883: 16.04 LTS [17:55] <tgm4883> g0tcha: what's the output of "cat /etc/resolv.conf" [17:55] <g0tcha> tgm4883: # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN [17:56] <tgm4883> g0tcha: that's the only thing in there? [17:56] <tgm4883> g0tcha: You don't have any DNS servers listed. how did you setup your static IP address? [17:56] <g0tcha> tgm4883: yes, the dns servers are set in /etc/networking/interfaces [17:56] <tgm4883> g0tcha: can you pastebin your interfaces file [17:57] <tgm4883> g0tcha: and you mean /etc/network/interfaces right? [17:57] <tgm4883> because /etc/networking/interfaces shouldn't exist [17:59] <g0tcha> tgm4883: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/f46666f552c99c03a170917f8fbbdaee [18:00] <g0tcha> yes, i meant /etc/network/interfaces [18:00] <tgm4883> g0tcha: the correct name is "dns-nameservers" not "dns-servers" [18:00] <oerheks> Put nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf.d/base and run sudo resolvconf -u [18:00] <tgm4883> oerheks: unnecessary [18:01] <tgm4883> oerheks: he needs to fix his interfaces file [18:01] <g0tcha> damn.. i looked at that like 15 times and i still missed it [18:01] <oerheks> good find [18:01] <g0tcha> what confused me is that it worked fine before the reboot [18:01] <g0tcha> yeah, its all good [18:02] <tgm4883> g0tcha: my guess is that you got a DHCP address which added the DNS servers. You then set the static IP address but that didn't overwrite the DNS servers until you rebooted [18:04] <g0tcha> tgm4883: most likely, yeah [18:04] <g0tcha> tgm4883: out of curiosity, what is the best way to restart a network interface with 16.04+ ?

[18:05] <alkisg> browncheese: which ubuntu version and kernel is this? uname -r [18:05] <tgm4883> service networking restart [18:05] <g0tcha> cristian_c: thats what i did but i guess it didnt take affect [18:05] <g0tcha> effect? [18:05] <cristian_c> systemctl status networking [18:05] <browncheese> alkisg: ubuntu gnome 17.04 and 4.10.0-37 [18:06] <cristian_c> (for reading status) [18:07] <cristian_c> you can also type: systemctl restart NetworkManager [18:07] <g0tcha> cristian_c: NetworkManager is not installed [18:08] <cristian_c> :O [18:08] <alkisg> browncheese: at that point: "Kernel modules: i915" it should be saying "kernel drivers in use: i915". Are you using nomodeset or anything else that prevents i915 from getting loaded? [18:08] <pavlos> there is a dash, Network-Manager [18:08] <g0tcha> its not installed on a bare metal ubuntu server [18:08] <cristian_c> I understand [18:09] <browncheese> alkisg: not afaik.....

Put your /var/log/Xorg.0.log to pastebin [18:11] <browncheese> alkisg: https://pastebin.com/6CNvQZi1 [18:12] <alkisg> browncheese: Eh, do you really have xorg running with that log file? [18:12] <alkisg> That says "Server terminated with error"? [18:13] <alkisg> browncheese: maybe you pasted only the last 5 lines, and you attempted to rerun Xorg while it was already running? [18:13] <alkisg> That would be completely misleading...

[18:24] <alkisg> Maybe you tried to download intel drivers and ended up breaking them? [18:25] <alkisg> Intel drivers come bundled with the linux kernel... [18:25] <browncheese> a tool to update the propietary intel drivers as far as I have understood it, and it is quite possible.... everything was working smoothly the other day but booted up today and it was borked [18:25] <alkisg> browncheese: that's one of the things you should mention when asking for help about drivers :) [18:25] <qswz> is it really worth to run intel drvers? [18:25] <qswz> in term of perf [18:26] <alkisg> Try to follow any uninstallation instructions they might have [18:26] <browncheese> alkisg: lesson learned :) and its puzzling, it was running nicely after updating and booting the machine and then it all of a sudden shat itself [18:27] <alkisg> browncheese: we can't debug proprietary third drivers programs here though [18:27] <browncheese> fully understandable :) [18:27] <alkisg> Puzzling sure, but a matter for their devs.. [18:27] <browncheese> all I seek is to get stuff working :) [18:27] <alkisg> Try uninstalling it [18:29] <browncheese> also I have to say! termbin was a neat tool!

[19:59] <nacc> cristian_c: I don't know, but it doesn't sound like an ubuntu problem (necessarily) if some plugin is buggy [19:59] <cristian_c> oerheks: ok, but I've encountered that issue on all the browsers [20:00] <cristian_c> nacc: no problem, I've not got it outside from official repositories [20:00] <cristian_c> *every [20:00] <oerheks> midori is in our repos, but that pdf plugin i cannot find..

[20:10] <cristian_c> qswz: it works if I use chrom with its own pdf plugin [20:10] <cristian_c> pdf plugin works only on chrome (I believe firefox doesn't) [20:10] <qswz> pdf viewers are not internal [20:10] <qswz> now* [20:10] <cristian_c> :O [20:11] <qswz> I mean you don't have to use any plugin [20:11] <qswz> uninstall tem [20:11] <qswz> get a recent firefox or chrom(e|ium) [20:11] <qswz> and profit [20:11] <cristian_c> qswz: I've already tried, and when I ckick on pdf in browser, it downloads it in Downloads folder (or /tmp, it depends) [20:13] <Zeljko> http://dpaste.com/2PFWTCG [20:13] <Zeljko> Someone can tell me whats the prob [20:14] <qswz> the .pdf is weird maybe [20:14] <qswz> you can share it?

[20:27] <nacc> EriC^^: iirc, you have to remove linux-generic and linux-image-generic as well, in order for the underlyinng package to be removed (and then once /boot is cleaned up, reinstall those metpackages) [20:28] <Ben64> nacc: not necessary [20:28] <alkisg> uname -r to see the running kernel, and dpkg --purge all the others... no need to involve metapackages [20:28] <alkisg> (and leave the newest one too, of course) [20:29] <EriC^^> Zeljko: ^ as alkisg said [20:29] <EriC^^> what does uname -r give?

[20:42] <EriC^^> Zeljko: try sudo dpkg --purge linux-image-4.4.0-87-generic [20:43] <EriC^^> as nacc and alkisg said it might work [20:43] <Zeljko> http://dpaste.com/3DR14DJ [20:43] <EriC^^> Zeljko: you were saying you don't have a separate /boot partition?

[21:16] <alkisg> Even with live kernel patching, reboots are still needed [21:16] <Zeljko> errors again [21:16] <Zeljko> damn [21:16] <Zeljko> stupid linux [21:17] <alkisg> Zeljko: the mysql error won't go away while doing the kernels [21:17] <alkisg> It's a separate issue [21:17] <alkisg> What is the output now?

[21:18] <Ben64> Zeljko: what do you think ampps is [21:18] <Zeljko> alkisg and [21:18] <Zeljko> Ben64 www.ampps.com [21:18] <oerheks> maybe stop that K01ampps, before doing stuff. [21:18] <Ben64> right, if you look on that page it says mysql [21:19] <Zeljko> alkisg: and what now ? [21:19] <Ben64> that's what the m is for, so you probably do need mysql for it [21:19] <alkisg> For mysql, you have this issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.7/+bug/1592669 [21:19] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 1592669 in mysql-5.7 (Ubuntu) "postinst fails when daemon is not running (or is disabled by policy-rc.d)" [High,In progress] [21:19] <Peyam> Hi, is there any way to make a picture of pages of a book look like scanned? [21:19] <alkisg> Zeljko: You can read there about workarounds, e.g. you could start mysql to allow postinst to continue [21:19] <leftyfb> Peyam: your question has nothing to do with ubuntu. Try an image editor like gimp. [21:19] <Zeljko> alkisg [21:20] <Zeljko> but how to free up my space [21:20] <Zeljko> ? [21:20] <Peyam> leftyfb, neither your answer [21:20] <alkisg> Zeljko: /dev/mapper/vg-lv_root 19G 12G 5.6G 68% / => you have 6 GB available, from 20 GB [21:20] <Zeljko> just 6gb [21:20] <Zeljko> lol [21:21] <Zeljko> its too low [21:21] <alkisg> Well, check your /home to see where it's used [21:21] <alkisg> Or wherever you have other services/data [21:21] <Zeljko> and now i'll can use apt-get install and run apps ? [21:22] <alkisg> Zeljko: 20 GB is too low for a server too, you could give it 200 GB :) [21:22] <Zeljko> alkisg [21:22] <leftyfb> Zeljko: no, mysql is still broken [21:22] <Zeljko> i have unrealirc server :) [21:22] <alkisg> Zeljko: not until you read the mysql bug and do the workarounds from there [21:22] <alkisg> The /boot and kernels issue was solved, but not the mysql one [21:22] <tgm4883> alkisg: well that depends on the server... [21:22] <oerheks> rtemove ampps, and try again [21:22] <Ben64> Zeljko: wow you run ircd on a server with a year old kernel? enjoy getting hacked [21:22] <oerheks> -t [21:23] <Ben64> probably running ircd as root too [21:23] <Zeljko> nope [21:23] <Zeljko> ircd running from user acc [21:25] <Zeljko> how to remove dir with files ? [21:26] <Peyam> Ho can I remove all folders in my system that have the name eclipse? [21:26] <rdh> rm -rf dir [21:26] <jeremy31> Zeljko, what directory? [21:27] <Zeljko> of any apps [21:27] <Peyam> rdh, does it delete all files in the system with that name? [21:27] <rdh> no [21:28] <rdh> current working directory [21:28] <tgm4883> Geez that just seems like a good way to break things [21:28] <rdh> if your paranoid, rm -rf ./dir [21:28] <rdh> ./ <- ensure current directory [21:28] <Peyam> rdh, ohh sorry I thought it was directed to me. I wan to deleted all folders with a certian name in the system [21:28] <Ben64> Peyam: why [21:28] <Peyam> Ben64, just to clean stuff [21:29] <Ben64> sounds like a terrible idea [21:29] <tgm4883> "Just to clean stuff" is probably the worst excuse to do anything on a computer [21:29] <Peyam> Ben64, why? [21:29] <rdh> Peyam, Oh, [21:29] <Zeljko> alkisg: and what to do now with ampps ? [21:29] <rdh> Peyam, you know about wildcards? [21:29] <Ben64> go around and mindlessly delete every folder matching a name? not smart [21:29] <Peyam> tgm4883, I don't think cleaning stuf you dont need is a bad idea [21:29] <Peyam> rdh, no [21:29] <alkisg> Zeljko: I don't know what ampps is, I only got involved to help with the /boot and kernels issue... [21:30] <Ben64> how do you know you don't need anything in a folder called eclipse [21:30] <Zeljko> alkisg thanks for all [21:30] <binarydepth> oerheks Can you help me calculate the sectors_? [21:30] <rdh> Peyam, just careful, and play with it until you really grasp it [21:30] <alkisg> You're welcome [21:30] <tgm4883> Ben64: +1 [21:30] <Zeljko> now i want to set up mysql server [21:30] <Peyam> Ben64, I dont use eclipse [21:30] <Peyam> rdh, never gone wrong [21:30] <Ben64> how do you know every folder called eclipse is for eclipse the program [21:30] <rdh> Peyam, http://tldp.org/LDP/GNU-Linux-Tools-Summary/html/x11655.htm [21:30] <Peyam> Ben64, it should be [21:30] <tgm4883> Peyam: if you don't use eclipse, then why do you have eclipse folders? [21:30] <Ben64> Peyam: ergo, bad idea [21:31] <Peyam> tgm4883, I used for a while now I'm cheating with intelij idea [21:32] <tgm4883> Peyam: how did you install eclipse? How did you remove it? [21:32] <Peyam> tgm4883, umake [21:33] <tgm4883> Peyam: because using apt is too mainstream? [21:33] <Peyam> tgm4883, becouse I wanting the last release. and wanted to try umake people talked about [21:34] <Peyam> tgm4883, I use 16.04 [21:35] <rdh> Peyam, you know, make usually will have an "make uninstall" option. [21:36] <rdh> depends on the developers, whats left is usually user configuration files. [21:36] <Peyam> rdh, umake --remove ide yes. I just wanted to see if it is left anything of it on my system. [21:37] <Ben64> so do something like 'locate eclipse' [21:37] <Peyam> never mind. I skip it :_D [21:37] <rdh> Peyam, well, you can look at the Makefile [21:38] <Peyam> you are right. I see MATLAB named a lot of files and directories "eclipse" [21:38] <tgm4883> Peyam: there are ways to delete everything with eclipse in the name, but nobody here wants to risk having you break your system in some unforseen circumstance [21:38] <tgm4883> well there you go [21:38] <Peyam> yeah you got me there [21:38] <Peyam> real in your face moment hhh [21:47] <rdh> Peyam, you should still learn wildcards ;) [21:48] <IhrFussel> My OS is VERY slow at writing files...what could cause this? "echo $(date +%s) > file" takes up to 50ms [21:51] <Peyam> yeah indeed [21:51] <andrej> Does anyone know where /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00CDMountPoint comes from? Neither dpkg -S nor apt-file find seem to know it [22:00] <tgm4883> andrej: based on the name, from install maybe? [22:06] <oerheks> looks like the mount point of your dvd/cdrom https://github.com/allardhoeve/desktop-config/blob/master/modules/apt/files/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00CDMountPoint [22:06] <oerheks> from install, i guess, and uncommented afterwards? [22:20] <Peyam> does anyone know anybrowser excep firefox and chrome that can enable adblock in private browsing? [22:23] <lostfile> brave i think [22:23] <lostfile> https://brave.com/ [22:24] <Mathisen> Peyam, opera got it built in also [22:26] <lostfile> well the brave browser has adblock built in bit i dont know about private browsing [22:26] <lostfile> but i mean [22:27] <lostfile> but lately i have been just using chome [22:27] <lostfile> with ublock [22:28] <tripelb> re ubuntu touch wifi only on samsung tab2 i found this. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices/p3110 so does this mean ot works? is this the latest? stable? where do I get it? instructions? Thanks. [22:31] <IhrFussel> Nobody got a clue? My local machine only needs 2-3ms to write to a file but my dedi (both Ubuntu 16.04) takes 10-30ms for the same task [22:33] <andrej> tgm4883 - I think you're right. I'm just wondering why many of our machines don't have it :) [22:36] <_Sym_> I got this external samsung ssd drive (T5) and it came with ext-fat on it. When I goto repartition the drive with fdisk, it wants to make the start sector at 65535. That seems wrong to me. If I only want a single ext4 parition on that external drive, would it not be ok to just make the primary parition start at 2048s? [22:41] <qis> Hi, can you recommend me a good backports-like PPA for Ubuntu 16.04? I need recent versions of common libraries. [22:41] <qis> zlib, libpng, libjpeg-turbo, etc. [22:44] <tgm4883> qis: no. PPAs are by definition unsupported. Why do you need recent version of common libraries [22:48] <qis> tgm4883: Because I use more recent (but already old) macros and functions. png_const_bytep, crc32_z, etc. [22:48] <qis> I don't need support. I need a trustworthy source. [22:49] <Jordan_U> IhrFussel: Do you have backgrounds writes going on on your "dedi"? (What does "dedi" mean here)? [22:50] <frontrowalex> Question: has anybody else lost the ability to detect HDMI displays after a recent full apt upgrade in 16.04? [22:50] <frontrowalex> VGA still works fine [22:50] <IhrFussel> Jordan_U, dedicated server meaning no need to share my resources with others (like VPS) ... I tried rebooting the machine and stopped the web server but it still takes 10-30ms to write a simple timestamp to a file [22:55] <gbellinoz> I've done a log of Googling on this but am still stuck - how do I stop apparmor from spamming my logs with ALLOWED messages? [22:55] <Jordan_U> IhrFussel: How are you measuring the time taken? [22:56] <IhrFussel> With the time command ... I created a S.M.A.R.T report ... can anyone tell me if those values are bad/critical? https://pastebin.com/v5rz1LT6 [22:58] <Jordan_U> IhrFussel: Timing the execution of echo? [22:59] <IhrFussel> Jordan_U, yes and it reports 2ms on my local machine, so I wonder why it's 10-30 on my dedi [23:00] <Jordan_U> IhrFussel: I would expect it to be 0ms for both, as I get on my machine. [23:02] <frostschutz> IhrFussel, run a long selftest on it, see if it passes [23:03] <Jordan_U> IhrFussel: Do you use any non-standard mount options? [23:03] <IhrFussel> I use noatime [23:10] <IhrFussel> Jordan_U, noatime can't cause this right? [23:10] <binarydepth> I need help installing grub in chroot. I was asked by the kernel installation. [23:10] <binarydepth> I'm installing using debootstrap [23:15] <ignoo> hello running ubuntu-gnome 16.04.1 AMD64 have an issue with compiling a file because ./config command does not work..maybe i'm doing something wrong ? [23:16] <ignoo> *issue with compiling a package [23:16] <ignoo> or maybe missing something? [23:17] <ignoo> I already did: sudo apt install autoconf and sudo apt install libtool-bin [23:20] <ignoo> anyone? please understand i'm not so experienced with ubuntu-gnome..so i supposed ./configure to work, but it says: bash: ./configure: No such file or directory. [23:21] <ignoo> wich is weird cause configure file is just there. [23:22] <rdh> ignoo, what software are you trying to compile [23:23] <ignoo> is that relevant? well torsocks . [23:23] <ignoo> ^_^ [23:23] <rdh> yea [23:23] <ignoo> just wanted to try that to proxy applications for better security. [23:24] <rdh> lol im not judging, i use tails from time to time [23:24] <ignoo> ye but tails is from flashdrive i just need to use for common applications i use daily..different task. [23:24] <rdh> ignoo, https://github.com/dgoulet/torsocks <- the bit where it says... "If you are compiling it from the git repository, run ./autogen.sh before the configure script." [23:25] <ignoo> #!/bin/sh [23:25] <ignoo> set -x [23:25] <ignoo> if [ ! -e config ]; then [23:25] <ignoo> mkdir config [23:25] <ignoo> fi [23:25] <ignoo> autoreconf -i [23:26] <Jordan_U> IhrFussel: noatime will prevent writes while reading, and won't have any effect writing so that's not the problem. odirect definitely would. [23:26] <rdh> ignoo, mmhm [23:26] <ignoo> eheh [23:26] <ignoo> sorry. [23:26] <rdh> README's and INSTALL's are your friends [23:27] <ignoo> i should have pastbinned that sorry for being uneducated.

COMPLETELY new to Linux (Ubuntu), trying to figure out how to set up a seperate drive for program installations, and how to set up another seperate drive for Steam Games [02:27] gparted [02:28] RooSalad: See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingANewHardDrive . [02:28] Bashing-om: Thanks [02:28] RooSalad: recommend making drive changes from a live disk or live USB. You can use GParted or the built in utilities. You'll also want to mount them when you boot, so google /etc/fstab. [02:29] RooSalad: We are here to help you over the rough spots .:) [02:29] Can you help me with dependency issues installing teamviewer [02:29] unless you reccomend a better program to remotly manage my linux free [02:31] I would probably opt for https://www.vpn.net/ - Logmein Hamachi [02:32] can ubuntu use rom files [02:32] rpm* [02:32] This software installer does not work for anything :( [02:34] Minor723: you must convert rpms to .deb files. There should always be a .deb option offered, or a ppa to install from. Could you paste the output from the installer? [02:34] Minor723: Not easily - RPM is Redhat package management . We use apt . [02:35] subdavis, https://pastebin.com/m01qhKEn [02:36] ok i was only asking because the software installer does not work [02:36] i click install and it does nothing [02:36] Bashing-om: Apt is a package manager, not a binary type. Ubuntu uses .deb (or debian) type binaries. yum is CentOS/RHEL's package manager. [02:37] I'll echo [n0mad] above: open a terminal and try to `sudo dpkg -i /path/to/installer.deb` [02:37] Thats what i ran [02:37] YOu can see it in my paste [02:37] Ah sorry, let me inspect that log. [02:38] Seems to be the only way i can install software [02:39] It's possible that you need to update your package system. Especially if this is a new install. Read the thread on https://askubuntu.com/questions/252777/how-can-i-resolve-dpkg-dependency [02:39] yes this is a new install i will look at that [02:39] Minor723: " This deb package requires many dependency packages. Manually finding and installing dependency packages is a tedious task. We can use the gdebi package installer to automatically handle all required dependencies for us." from: https://www.linuxbabe.com/ubuntu/install-teamviewer-12-ubuntu-16-04-ubuntu-16-10 .

[02:49] haha thats what i thought iwas getting yes i need gui [02:49] How do i remove the non gui version i installed [02:52] I'm not sure how you installed it (or what the package is called). Try `apt list --installed | grep hamachi` === capella is now known as BjuiceBjuiceBjui === BjuiceBjuiceBjui is now known as locationLocation === locationLocation is now known as chickenChknChkn === Dreamulador is now known as Dreamulador|Off [03:33] I was wondering if there is a way for my system to have scheduled downtime. Like, my system would shut off, and then the motherboard would turn on the system half an hour later. I was just wondering if that was a thing. [03:35] Goop, what for? [03:35] Goop: that can be done on some hardware. [03:36] obviously there is no fully general way to do that short of a microprocessor controlled power outlet [03:36] So after a while of uptime on my desktop machine, the machine starts to get a little buggy and gets a little slow. My guess is that is needs system reboots/a little bit of downtime, because I leave it turned on all the time. So I was wondering if I could schedule my system to be turned off between 2AM 2:30AM when I am asleep. [03:37] Goop, is there a reason you need it to be down for half an hour rather than just rebooting it? === chickenChknChkn is now known as capella [03:37] a reboot is *much* easier than what you're asking for. [03:37] Random832, eh. Not sure. [03:38] it looks like rtcwake supports scheduling a wakeup from shutdown if your system supports it, or you could have another device on the network (some routers can do this) send a wake on lan packet [03:39] but honestly i'd just see if a reboot is enough first [03:39] seems like the real solution would be to figure out the problem rather than work around it [03:39] that too [03:40] 20:39:59 up 86 days, 15 min, 12 users, load average: 2.25, 2.37, 2.36 [03:40] the reason this feature is poorly supported is because it doesn't make almost any sense. just reboot. what does it benefit you to have your system off for 1/2hr? [03:40] desktop doing fine over here [03:40] Random832, maybe I don't need half an hour downtime, I'll just schedule reboots at 2AM every day. Every time I use "sudo reboot", programs like Google Chrome don't shut down properly. Is there a way to send some sort of "gentle" shutdown signal to the system? [03:41] google chrome couldn't care less if you yank the power cord out of the wall socket [03:41] proper shutdown only really matters if you are running mysql databases or something like that [03:42] sudo reboot should usually shut things down in an orderly fashion though [03:42] the fact that chrome offers to restore your session doesn't mean it was actually harmed, for the record [03:42] for that matter, the fact that it can means it's specifically designed to be fine [03:43] FrostyBytes, what's the way to "proper[ly]" shutdown a Ubuntu system from command line? [03:43] the reason google chrome is not shut down cleanly is because it's not a service managed by init (systemd) [03:44] sudo reboot or sudo halt [03:45] FrostyBytes, init sends every process SIGTERM, that should be enough to let it shut down cleanly enough if it cares. [03:46] I do wonder if there's some command line incantation to use polkit or whatever to do the same kind of shutdown you'd get from the desktop environment menu, which IIRC allows programs with unsaved data to stop the shutdown [03:47] So, to schedule system reboots, I would have to use root's crontab, right? How do I do that? I'm new to crontab. [03:49] Random832: i have a regular sleep schedule and keep my computer in my bedroom, downtime like the original question describes wouldn't be bizarre for me [03:49] it would be for more like 8 hours instead of half of one, but [03:50] jerichowasahoax, well, the next question for that scenario would be "why not bring it back up manually" [03:50] especially since that's the hard part [03:52] Random832: i had to disconnect my power button from my motherboard because i haven't gotten around to cleaning it yet, but i admit that's a less common problem [03:53] a better argument would be convenience: sure, i *could* just push the power button. but what if it did that for me when i got out of bed in the morning? [03:58] anyway, most recent motherboards should have support for scheduled wakes in some form or another - microsoft has been making a big deal about it for windows update for ages [04:04] Do any of the official Ubuntu releases use Wayland out of the box? [04:09] jamisnemo: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/08/ubuntu-confirm-wayland-default-17-10 . [04:20] Bashing-om, Ah. thanks. That helps!

[05:53] system16: wich iso did you download from ubuntu.com, and when? [05:54] There's usually crash reports in /var/crash/ [05:54] last night... u mean the mirror ?

[06:04] system16: You'll still have a fully working system if you leave it unticked [06:04] system16: It's the first drive the kernel finds [06:05] so its a drive [06:05] system16: /dev/sda1 being the first partition on it, and so forth [06:05] can i change it do c d ... after i installed ubuntu ?

[06:07] system16, best bet is not to dual boot, go to some garage sales, and pick up a used computer that has intel graphics, and install ubuntu, and play around with it. It's a good system if you can get it booted up. [06:07] system16: backup your data before you experiment [06:07] system16, somewhat disagree with dual boot advice. [06:08] system16: That's the whole idea of dual boot, but as always take backups. And also like others have said, avoid dual boot if possible :p [06:08] I suggest you install virtualbox to windows, then create a virtualmachine and install a light *buntu (xubuntu/ubuntu/budgie) there until you are ready to commit to a dualboot scenario [06:09] i dont want those things i really like ubuntu.. [06:09] system16: why do you need windows for then? [06:09] :) [06:09] my main pc has virtual box [06:10] i need windows for (games) [06:10] !steam | system16 [06:10] system16: Valve have officially announced that they are developing Steam and are working with !ubuntu during their development, see http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/linux/steamd-penguins/ for further details, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valve for install instructions, you can also join #ubuntu-steam for discussion. [06:10] feral interactive is releasing linux games quite reguarly [06:11] ok i will try to install ubuntu in virtual box [06:11] While Steam is on Linux, sadly not all games are. Depending on what you play that's not an issue tho. And !wine has made good progress as well [06:12] system16, ram and lots of it will optimize your virtual ubuntu experience. [06:13] my laptop has 8 GB of ram [06:13] intel core i7 6500u [06:13] nvidia 940m [06:14] system16, assign half to your ubuntu will give you only 4 gb. Technically, ubuntu will run but not sprint. thus my earlier suggest to use a light flavor [06:14] btw can i connect to a SFTP server without installing special apps in ubuntu ? [06:15] An ssh-client is installed by default, so yes [06:16] cfhowlett: is new art in making for artful release you know of? [06:16] lotuspsychje, beyond the new default wallpaper you mean? not that I know of. [06:17] cfhowlett: no contests running? kk [06:17] not that I've heard of. [06:17] what the hell ? im being flooded with pms [06:17] tnx [06:17] system16: what they say? [06:18] ELKY HAS TURNED LESBIAN (DAX LITTLE DICK DID NOT SATISFY) PLEASE CONGRATULATE HER ON HER NEW JOURNEY AND RECOMMEND ROOMS IN #FREENODE FOR NEW LOVE [06:18] system16, seat your mode to +R will screen out most of thos [06:18] system16: you can block that by: PM spam? /mode yournickhere +R [06:18] ok thanks [06:20] system16: so i think you have multiple ideas to try now right [06:21] yeah, i am installing ubuntu on a VM [06:21] system16: good, if you really like it, consider an ubuntu full install + steam (if you like to game) [06:22] i cant game in VM :) [06:22] system16: i said on ubuntu full install [06:22] oh ok [06:23] system16: there's a nice linux gaming channel at #gamingonlinux with many happy gamers [06:37] Hello. Is there a way to make a DHCP request without actually changing any network configuration? I want to see what IP address and gateway I *would* get assigned. [06:38] i think u can do that in routers setup in info tab [06:42] system16: I'm sorry, I didn't understand that. What do you mean with "routers setup" and "info tab"? [06:42] 192.168.1.1 [06:42] vlt: no, the request is what gets the IP [06:42] vlt: you can't do a "dummy" request, [06:43] i use d-link. [06:43] the router has nothing to do with it [06:43] well i can see what is my ip and... in my router setup ... [06:44] yes, but he wants to see what he *would* get when one isn't assigned yet [06:44] right, because you have an IP [06:44] he's asking what he WOULD get, because he doesn't have one [06:45] oh ok [06:46] system16: There might be no router involved at all. I just wat to know what IP address I *would* get from a DHCP server (not router). [06:47] *want [06:47] vlt: there is no "dummy" get from dhclient, sorry [06:48] sorry idk how to do that in ubuntu [06:48] ikonia: To be precise I want to know what I would get not because I *don't* have one but because I *already* have one ;-) [06:48] y do u want that ? [06:48] vlt: you'd get what you have then [06:48] because the lease would still be valid if it's renewed to the point you still have an IP [06:49] ikonia: I doubt that :-D [06:49] vlt: I don't [06:49] ikonia: I don't have a DHCP assigned IP address now. [06:49] vlt: stop messing around then, you DONT have an IP then [06:49] vlt: either way, you have your answer [06:51] ikonia: I'm pretty sure I do have one. If there's no dgclient option I'll try to find out what "whereami" does to probe the DHCP server. Thanks for your help :-) [06:51] *dhclient [06:52] it won't give you an answer until the lease for the request is allocated [06:52] the only way to get the lease is to ask for an IP [06:52] everything else would be a "guess" or a "possible" outcome [06:57] Hi, I need java plugin to access some BMC for some server, but with ubuntu 17 and icedtea-plugin installed, firefox won't show me any java plugin in about:plugins. I read that I have to "activate" it, but how? [06:57] should be a popup with a button to trigger approval [06:58] cfhowlett: a popup from where? firefox? [06:58] yep. I get them for flash all the time. I THINK a similar situation for java [06:59] ah yes I see but this means that flash plugin has been "found" by firefox and it asks you permission to execute it. [06:59] When you go to about:plugins you can see flash listed. [06:59] But for java plugin, it is not even listed in about:plugins [07:00] ikonia: THat's what I want to do. I want to ask for an IP but I don't want to do anything with the result (other than displaying it). [07:02] coincoin169: aiui you need to use the esr release of firefox to get java now, but i might have misunderstood [07:02] oh the setup is working ! no more hangs ... so i think this pc cant handle ubuntu or the iso burner didnt burn the iso correctly [07:03] system16, so your virtualbox is OK? [07:03] ducasse: ok, will try now [07:05] coincoin169: https://www.java.com/en/download/help/firefox_java.xml [07:05] hello all! AMD is a usable GPU for gaming in Ubuntu?

[07:08] ducasse: ok, well thanks, but this make me really angry as I have lost 2+ days of trying to get this server to install via PXE to learn by the manufacturer that it does not work because of a hardware bug and my only solution is via BMC. And now I have to install firefox ESR blablibla becuase NPAPI security and stuff..... How to loose 3 days just to install a distro on a server... [07:08] cfhowlett, yes my virtualbox is OK [07:09] system16, nice! work with that for a few weeks then consider a dual boot. === mbuf is now known as mbuf|away [07:33] hi [07:34] i just tried to install a kernel for amdgpu open source and got a warning saying i should answer no for the next question [07:34] the thing is - the dialog is asking me do i want to 'stop install since the kernel-image is already installed' [07:34] shouldn't i choose yes in this case? === jackNemrod_ is now known as jackNemrod [07:37] Anyone know why my Unity-editor crashes when I try to load a scene?

Kernel is quite up to date 4.10 [07:53] btw where is START ? [07:54] 'start'? [07:56] there is a start menu in windows [07:56] well, ubuntu isn't windows :) [07:56] task bar ?

[08:09] Anyone [08:09] * [08:09] here [08:10] can you guide me on checking it? kinda stumped, took me quite a bit of time to start learning it... now stuck with VNC issue [08:10] lol [08:11] WHA420355-SOC155694-YMH297433-WHA800477-JPL749250-APB800779 [08:11] linuxnew: Ubuntu comes with a VNC server built in as the default method of remotely sharing the desktop [08:12] ok, so is there anyway to connect to the built in server? [08:12] I think it's the Vino one. So, if you installed tightvnc as wel, they're probably fighting each other :) [08:12] i am trying to check the desktop enviromnet [08:12] just use the menu and open the "Remote Sharing" (I think) app [08:12] linuxnew: why do you keep pasting that WHA... line? Also, run it like this: vncserver. It will ask for a default pass, and it will tell you which display it's using. Also, what are you trying to do? [08:12] you can configure the password, if a confirmation is required, etc. [08:13] ok let me try [08:13] i am not the one posting WHA thing [08:13] Ah yes sorry, my client was using the same username color there [08:14] New 'X' desktop is orangepi:3 [08:14] and gave me a log file.. [08:14] now i need to change vncpasswd? [08:14] which i did and still no joy [08:14] Didn't it ask for a password already? [08:14] OK then you can connect using "vncviewer :3" [08:15] But note that this vncserver by default is running *another* desktop, not sharing the one you have [08:15] still says wrong pass [08:15] When you typed "vncserver", it showed some output. Paste *all* the output to paste.ubuntu.com [08:15] any desktop is fine.. as long as i can figure out how to get to it.. lol [08:16] Starting applications specified in /home/orangepi/.vnc/xstartup Log file is /home/orangepi/.vnc/orangepi:3.log [08:16] whats the default DE name ? [08:16] this was the output [08:16] linuxnew, all of it, even the part where it asks for the password [08:16] Because if it didn't ask for one, it's using one from the .vnc folder, which might not be the one you expect [08:16] orangepi@orangepi:~$ vncserver New 'X' desktop is orangepi:3 Starting applications specified in /home/orangepi/.vnc/xstartup Log file is /home/orangepi/.vnc/orangepi:3.log orangepi@orangepi:~$ vncpasswd Password: Verify: [08:17] ok so i need to go to .vnc folder and edit a file? [08:17] linuxnew: killall Xtightvnc; mv ~/.vnc /tmp/; vncserver [08:18] It should ask for a password without you typing "vncpasswd" or anything [08:18] system16: until now, unity. from 17.10 on it will be gnome 3 [08:18] ok let me try with the command you gae [08:19] system16: make sure you activate the restricted nvidia driver or your performance will suck [08:20] used your command it didnt ask for a password [08:20] WHA420355-SOC155694-YMH297433-WHA800477-JPL749250-APB800779 [08:20] linuxnew: hmm anyway, are you trying to share your existing desktop or create a new one? [08:20] nugroho: stop that [08:21] nugroho, stop posting that here [08:21] exiting view, [08:21] linuxnew: sudo apt install x11vnc; x11vnc [08:21] technically i havent been able to access it as the video out on the machine is not working [08:23] so i am trying to install vnc server and access the my current user's desktop... i want to see if the GUi looks good.. [08:23] lol [08:23] hateball i installed ubuntu in virtualbox [08:23] i have only used ubuntu desktop before [08:23] and for like 1-2 days..

[08:25] system16: linux doesn't use things like C:\ [08:26] /dev/sda confuses me [08:26] system16: oh in a VM, then I suppose you need to install some guest tools to get 3D accel, nothing I know about however [08:26] hateball 3d accel is on [08:26] and guest additions are installed [08:27] oh nice. file explorer in ubuntu supports SFTP nice. [08:32] ok, hmm its doing an update so i think the dpkg is busy [08:32] it wont let me use it === evilnewbie is now known as beaver [08:33] installation started [08:39] on x11vnc installed [08:39] ok* [08:39] giving out some stuff about the vnc server running without a password [08:40] linuxnew: and can you connect now? [08:40] connection refused [08:40] linuxnew: vncviewer localhost. Without :0 or :1 [08:41] Also, how are you getting access to Xorg, if you don't have a monitor? Using ssh and export DISPLAY etc? [08:41] so just type "vncviewer localhost" [08:41] Yes [08:41] i used network to find the IP and ssh to it [08:42] Then you don't have access to display or xauthority, right? [08:42] No command 'vncviewer' found, did you mean: Command 'gvncviewer' from package 'gvncviewer' (universe) Command 'jvncviewer' from package 'vnc-java' (multiverse) vncviewer: command not found [08:42] If you type `xterm`, does it run or crash? [08:42] *or exit... [08:42] xterm display is not set [08:42] hello everyone [08:43] linuxnew: and is xorg running? pgrep Xorg [08:43] orangepi@orangepi:~$ xterm xterm: Xt error: Can't open display: xterm: DISPLAY is not set [08:43] 873 [08:43] not sure what that means [08:44] pgrep xorg [08:44] output [08:44] linuxnew: it means that you have a graphics session but you don't have some variables set, like DISPLAY and XAUTHORITY, so you can't access it [08:44] ahh ok [08:44] 800x600 should be fine [08:44] linuxnew: Is that orange pi, with what Ubuntu version, 16.04? [08:44] yes 16.04 new [08:44] i used lubuntu distrbution [08:45] linuxnew: how did you install without a display? [08:47] Anyone know of a nice tool to do global text replacement? I want to be able to type out :thumbs and it changes it to 👍 [08:48] yeeve: regardless of app? [08:48] yeah pretty much, if it worked in 90% of places I'd be happy. It's main browser, text-editor and IRC client [08:48] used a sd card to write image using something called etcher [08:48] or w32disk [08:48] it was very annoying... too many times failed [08:49] yeeve: there is autokey, but I do not know how well it works [08:49] hateball, it's a start :) I'll check it out [08:49] !info autokey-gtk [08:49] autokey-gtk (source: autokey): desktop automation utility - GTK+ version. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.90.4-1 (zesty), package size 33 kB, installed size 347 kB [08:49] linuxnew: do you mind uploading a list of your processes, to see if it's in lightdm or autologged in? ps faux | nc termbin.com 9999 [08:49] or -qt, if you use kde plasma [08:51] http://termbin.com/au9d [08:52] linux is pretty handson lol [08:52] linuxnew: it's in lightdm, so it's more difficult to gain access. Do you have a main linux box where you're working from? Is it ubuntu, or e.g. windows with putty? [08:52] Anyone here use encrypted home folder? [08:53] windows putty [08:54] Hmm, more difficult then. Just for fun, I can help you with remote support if you want... [08:55] hmm teamvierwer... but this PC is not mine... [08:55]
