| chalcedony | any idea what to do with hubby's ubuntu? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| evilbug | no. | 00:01 |
| evilbug | sound like an accesibility option though. | 00:01 |
| lordcirth | chalcedony, it's only been a few minutes; hopefully someone will answer | 00:01 |
| Bashing-om | chalcedony: Not very clean, and might be better solutions, but kill FireFox from terminal ?? | 00:02 |
| ArMedic | Has anyone in here ever placed Ubuntu on a chromebook? | 00:02 |
| evilbug | google ubuntu screen zoom accesibility or something. | 00:02 |
| chalcedony | Bashing-om, nice to see you .. i'm bringing up putty. it won't let him do anything | 00:02 |
| Bashing-om | chalcedony: ctl+alt+t does not activate a terminal ? | 00:04 |
| chalcedony | let me go try | 00:04 |
| oerheks | ArMedic, not without bricking it, and then again, 16 gb is a bit small | 00:04 |
| ArMedic | oerheks, Okay. I was thinking of giving it a try. Now, maybe not. | 00:05 |
| chalcedony | brought up a giant terminal | 00:05 |
| Bashing-om | chalcedony: Let us wait and see if some one offers a better option . | 00:06 |
| chalcedony | well now i know his ip at least | 00:06 |
| malkauns | if i used raid 0 for a single drive on my server can i use that drive in a different server (with different specs)? | 00:10 |
| chalcedony | compizconfig-settings-manager | 00:11 |
| chalcedony | compizconfig-settings-manager: command not found | 00:11 |
| chalcedony | sp ot | 00:12 |
| chalcedony | so it's not that | 00:12 |
| lordcirth | malkauns, if you move all drives to a new server? Sure, so long as it has mdadm tools installed. | 00:13 |
| malkauns | lordcirth: but I mean with hardware raid | 00:15 |
| malkauns | not software | 00:15 |
| ericus | anyone good with reverse proxy on apache2? | 00:15 |
| malkauns | and just 1 single drive | 00:15 |
| lordcirth | malkauns, oh I see. You want to move the raid card and all drives? | 00:15 |
| lordcirth | malkauns, oh, you used "raid 0" mode in order to just pass the drive through? | 00:15 |
| malkauns | nope not the card | 00:15 |
| malkauns | yes exactly | 00:15 |
| lordcirth | malkauns, usually a raid card will do some custom formatting | 00:16 |
| malkauns | hmmmm | 00:16 |
| malkauns | even just for a single drive? | 00:17 |
| lordcirth | malkauns, yeah. I mean, you can try; if you don't write to it, it shouldn't hurt anything... but I wouldn't expect it to work | 00:17 |
| malkauns | mmk thx | 00:18 |
| malkauns | so if my server dies I can't even recover anything | 00:19 |
| malkauns | unless a buy the exact same server again | 00:20 |
| chalcedony | wow.. we tried the windows key and scrolling, which does nothing, but the windows key brings up a menu of keyboard shortcuts only it blnks madly and i can't look at it | 00:20 |
| chalcedony | https://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1409491.html that was from here | 00:20 |
| beshoo | can i ask a general linux question ? | 00:27 |
| oerheks | beshoo, there is ##linux for that | 00:27 |
| oerheks | ubuntu answers might not apply to your situation | 00:27 |
| beshoo | well no one helped me there | 00:27 |
| chalcedony | what is it? | 00:27 |
| beshoo | so i think here more pro users :) | 00:28 |
| beshoo | i am using FastText , a facebook text classification tool , this tool works by passing text to it via stdin " ./fasttext predict-prob model.bin - " then ENTER , and each new line will go to fasttext, well i want to run this via web server , how can i make fasttext be in memory and can receive stdin from any script , e.g php shell_exec() , some one advice me to use named pipe , but when i send | 00:28 |
| beshoo | text to named pipe , fasttext print to the std and exit , and never redirect output to the named pipe | 00:28 |
| beshoo | ./fasttext predict-prob model_gender.bin named_pipe | 00:28 |
| oerheks | fasttext is not in our repos, sorry | 00:28 |
| chalcedony | its a nicely asked question, but not something people are good with here | 00:29 |
| beshoo | well , yes that is why i saied it is general Linux , what i think here , all user is more advanced | 00:29 |
| kostkon | beshoo, like you said, too general a question for #ubuntu | 00:30 |
| beshoo | Ok since ##linux no one help ? any other option :) | 00:30 |
| kostkon | beshoo, a php or some other dev channel perhaps? | 00:31 |
| chalcedony | https://fasttext.cc/docs/en/faqs.html | 00:32 |
| chalcedony | beshoo, ask in #python maybe | 00:32 |

| bazhang | bcowan, we strictly d\ont tell users to google it | 02:30 |
| Ben64 | fishcooker: uh don't do it like that | 02:31 |
| fishcooker | that's why i want to get the grep exact match case, Ben64 | 02:32 |
| Ben64 | fishcooker: don't use grep. ps has the ability to accept a pid as input | 02:32 |
| fishcooker | noted, cool Ben64 | 02:32 |
| bcowan | bazhang: ok well rtfm sucks and that wasn’t an Ubuntu question and asking Ubuntu server makes no sense because it’s not a server question | 02:33 |

| nopea | I am trying to copy a file from a bash script to ovewrite another file, but I do not want to overwrite the permissions or ownership. How can this done? cp copies the file with me as the owner | 02:45 |
| nopea | I mean, I dont want the original file to retain it's permissions, not take the new ones | 02:46 |
| Ben64 | you don't want it to retain but you don't want new? | 02:47 |
| nopea | Ben64: from the bash script, I want to copy a file that overwrites another, but I want to keep the original file's permissions | 02:48 |
| bcowan | I’m lost, but maybe cp -a | 02:48 |
| cfhowlett | nopea, man cp would seem to suggest the --no-preserve option if I've understood you correctly | 02:48 |
| nopea | bcowan: thanks.. I have a custom 000-default.conf file that I want to use and replace Ubuntu's, but it keeps taking me as the owner | 02:49 |
| Ben64 | cp doesn't change owner for me | 02:50 |
| bcowan | Or just stat the original file and chmod after the cp | 02:51 |
| Pomidora | So I resolved a dependency manually... I really wanted to have a version that was not available yet for my dist. Now apt spits out that it has unresolved dependencies and won't let me install anything. How do I tell it that this particular package is resolved? | 02:52 |
| nopea | yeah, I am trying that in the bash.. didn't take the new permissions. I have to keep playing | 02:52 |
| Ben64 | cp doesn't change it, you must be doing something wonky | 02:52 |
| bcowan | Your script may not be elevated enough to do what you want | 02:54 |
| bcowan | or to say you’re not running your script with elevated enough privileges | 02:55 |
| nopea | bcowan: not sure it is that... it also install Apache2, MySQL, OpenSSH, vsftdp etc | 02:55 |
| Ben64 | sounds like a bad script | 02:55 |
| bcowan | My scripts usually make me goto sleep :p | 02:56 |
| nopea | Ben64: not the script.... same thing happens when I type it in | 02:57 |
| Ben64 | type what in | 02:57 |
| nopea | sudo cp -rp 000-default.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf | 02:57 |
| malkauns | bcowan, i made a script: /usr/local/bin/sleep once which would put the system in suspend. was baffled when my system kept going into suspend for "no reason" :P | 02:58 |
| bcowan | Lol | 02:58 |
| Ben64 | nopea: you might want to look what -rp does | 02:59 |
| bcowan | What he said | 02:59 |
| bcowan | Recursive preserve | 03:00 |
| nopea | yeah - I get that now | 03:00 |
| nopea | keeps the permissions of the file being copied not the one being overwritten | 03:00 |
| bcowan | Drop the p | 03:02 |
| bcowan | like in a cup lol | 03:02 |
| bcowan | Why do you need recursive if it’s just a single file??? | 03:03 |
| nopea | I dropped -rp and it is working now | 03:04 |
| bcowan | If you’re calling a single file -r is useless and -pr is pretty much -a | 03:06 |

| Elminster | Hi folks. I'm working on the installation of an ubuntu server on an old computer and -yes I've only got a couple of dozen hours under my belt- but I can't figure out the following problem: sudo apt-get updates --- It cannot find the ca.archive.ubuntu.com. I tried to ping, host -v, change the resolv.conf nameserver to the router ip dedicated to this machine... and no success. | 03:29 |
| cfhowlett | Elminster, easy workaround: try a different mirro | 03:29 |
| cfhowlett | could be the current one is down for some reason | 03:29 |
| lotuspsychje | Elminster: there is also #ubuntu-mirrors for known issues about your country | 03:30 |
| Elminster | Thanks. New to the system though -- which file do I modify to add a mirror^ | 03:31 |

| Elminster | O.o I installed ubuntu SERVER :D | 03:33 |
| cfhowlett | Other > select best server | 03:33 |
| cfhowlett | ah! yeah that | 03:33 |
| Elminster | is it /etc/apt nano sources.list? | 03:33 |
| lotuspsychje | Elminster: you doublechecked firewall/router block also? | 03:34 |
| cfhowlett | I think yes, but you will need the alternate | 03:34 |
| Elminster | I mean, I don't have a GUI | 03:34 |
| cfhowlett | Elminster, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors perhaps select the one closest to you geographically | 03:34 |
| Elminster | Well regarding router, was it correct to insert the assigned DCHP client IP of the router/machine (in that case 192.168.1.11) of the new ubuntu server machine into the resolv.conf nameserver file? | 03:38 |
| destinydriven | Het guys, I'm trying to set up a directory so that any new child directories have the same folder permissions | 03:40 |
| destinydriven | I did some research and came up with this: setfacl -R -d -m g::rwx -m o::rx files/ | 03:40 |
| destinydriven | It didn't seem to do what I expected and I'm open to better approaches to this problem | 03:40 |
| cfhowlett | Elminster, see the "use mirror protocal" segment https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-select-the-fastest-apt-mirror-on-ubuntu-linux | 03:42 |
| Elminster | All right - I<ve added mirrors, and they result in the same error: Could not resolve "miror.blahhh..." | 03:44 |
| Poster | Elminster: you may want to temporarily update /etc/resolv.conf to use something like Google's public DNS, try putting this towards the top: | 03:46 |
| Poster | nameserver 8.8.8.8 | 03:46 |
| Poster | then retry your operation | 03:46 |
| destinydriven | Sorry guys, turns out all I needed was this sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/example.com/public_html | 03:51 |
| Elminster | Poster: yep, just tried that... no success either | 03:53 |
| Bashing-om | Elminster: ' ping -c3 ubuntu.com ' has a positive result ? | 03:55 |

| Elminster | lotuspsychje: canèt use nmap, itès not installed and i canèt reach the servers.. | 04:00 |

| Bashing-om | Elminster: this is a server and no GUI, no network-manager installed ? | 04:16 |
| Elminster | Bashing-om: Yes it is a server, no GUI --- I have not been able to install anything, except the auto-isntall (which had me successfully install the network) | 04:18 |
| Bashing-om | Elminster: strange that networking was not set up automagically . I do think we should make up that file . Link name and router IP : ' arp -a ' . | 04:24 |
| Elminster | link name == ?? | 04:26 |
| Bashing-om | Elminster: in my case the link name is " enp1s9 " the name eth0 has been changed in recent releases . | 04:30 |
| Bashing-om | Elminster: " sysop@x1604:~$ arp -a >> dlinkrouter (192.168.0.1) at 6c:19:8f:eb:ca:1b [ether] on enp1s9 " . | 04:32 |
| Elminster | Ah! Yes. well under lshw -c network, there is only a star (*); therefore the "links" are unnamed..? | 04:32 |
| Bashing-om | Elminster: I think once we have the interface file configured things will start to look up . | 04:33 |
| Elminster | and I enter the ip and mac addresses I find on my router setting? | 04:36 |
| Bashing-om | Elminster: the gateway is the router IP, and the adress is your machine IP . the mac is taken care of elsewhere . | 04:38 |
| Elminster | Hmmmm. didn't work. Gotta do more reading. Thanks Bashing-om. | 04:42 |
| Bashing-om | Elminster: If your router is going to hand out DHCP ( where your ISP has not assigned you a permanent IP _ then the line will be " iface <enp1s9> inet dhcp " . | 04:42 |
| Elminster | iface is not recognized as a command and empls9: No such file or directory.. | 04:45 |
| Elminster | And correct, i do not have a static ip | 04:45 |
| Bashing-om | Elminster: enp1s9 is mine .. yours will be different ! I have 3 NICs in this box . | 04:46 |
| Elminster | Yes correct ;) --- I cannot find mine! It's a * on the lshw network, and do not know anywhere else to find it? or do I create/assign it? | 04:47 |
| Amm0n | Elminster, "ip link" should list available interfaces | 04:47 |
| Elminster | !!! Thanks Amm0n. | 04:48 |
| Elminster | I get a half page full of errors | 04:48 |
| Elminster | fresh install :\ | 04:48 |

| Elminster | I tried the iface <eno1> inet dhcp | 04:54 |
| Elminster | eno1: No such file or directory | 04:54 |
| Amm0n | eno1 would be for a wired connection | 04:55 |
| Bashing-om | Elminster: Sorry then for me .. I have never configured a wireless interface on a server . others here will have to advise . | 04:55 |
| Elminster | (...installing switch...) | 04:56 |
| oerheks | No wire plugged in....? | 04:57 |
| Elminster | no | 04:58 |
| Elminster | bad idea for a server eh | 04:58 |
| oerheks | oh good, continue configuring that wired interface then | 04:58 |
| * oerheks leaves the troll | 04:59 | |
| Elminster | I'll leave it to that for now. Gotta be at work in 7 hours. I don't usually come across such helpful people.. | 04:59 |
| Elminster | O.o so I'm a troll? lol | 05:00 |
| cfhowlett | pretty sure he meant someone else | 05:00 |
| Amm0n | Elminster, /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf edit to match your wifi settings | 05:00 |
| Bashing-om | Elminster: get some skeep then .. as a fresh mind will be needed .. and mine is no longer that fresh :) | 05:00 |
| lotuspsychje | wait? a server without a cable? | 05:01 |
| Amm0n | then: ip link set dev wlp2s0b1 up | 05:01 |
| Amm0n | wpa_supplicant -B -i wlp2s0b1 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf | 05:02 |

| kristhian | hello can somebody help me out, how to install viber in linux? | 05:05 |
| kristhian | Linux kristhian-emachines-D725 4.4.0-96-generic #119-Ubuntu SMP Tue Sep 12 14:58:51 UTC 2017 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux | 05:06 |
| kristhian | Distributor ID:Ubuntu | 05:06 |
| kristhian | Description:Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS | 05:06 |
| kristhian | Release:16.04 | 05:06 |
| kristhian | Codename:xenial | 05:06 |
| cfhowlett | kristhian, download the .deb file, then sudo dkpg -i <path to the viber .deb> | 05:07 |
| Elminster | Yep - confirmed: I do not have a wpa_supplicant.conf file | 05:08 |
| clickwir | What package choose if I want to report a bug about the desktop in general for Ubuntu 17.10? | 05:08 |
| === KindTwo is now known as KindOne | ||
| cfhowlett | clickwir, desktop in general is not a package, so no bug report. narrow your focus to a specific fail case and report on that package. | 05:10 |
| clickwir | cfhowlett, ok, how about the Dock? | 05:10 |
| cfhowlett | clickwir, what is the failure? | 05:10 |
| Amm0n | Elminster, well then you have to create one | 05:11 |
| clickwir | cfhowlett, First click, opens the minimized window. Second click does nothing. Should minimize. | 05:11 |
| cfhowlett | clickwir, check your dock behavior settings | 05:12 |
| clickwir | Thought I went through the settings, maybe I missed something. I'll check again. | 05:13 |
| Amm0n | Elminster, couldn't find a good documentation for ubuntu but this should work out: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/WPA_supplicant | 05:15 |
| Elminster | Amm0n: https://w1.fi/cgit/hostap/plain/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf ---- all right if I dig into that I'm not getting any sleep. Thanks a ton, and have agood day/night where ever you are. | 05:15 |
| Amm0n | you too | 05:15 |
| kristhian | i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux <- 32 bit architecture or 64? | 05:17 |
| cfhowlett | kristhian, match to your device | 05:18 |
| kristhian | i mean i duno if i686 is 32bit or 64bit | 05:18 |
| cfhowlett | 64 | 05:18 |
| kristhian | ok | 05:19 |
| Bashing-om | kristhian: this is 64 bit result : x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux . | 05:20 |
| kristhian | ok Bashing-om, thanks | 05:20 |
| kristhian | cfhowlett, it's dpkg -i <directory to debfile.deb? | 05:23 |
| kristhian | correct? | 05:23 |
| cfhowlett | kristhian, easy way: drag and drop the .deb after sudo dpgk -i | 05:24 |
| cfhowlett | *** dpkg *** | 05:24 |
| kristhian | ok | 05:30 |
| kristhian | thank you | 05:30 |
| kristhian | btw i got this error | 05:31 |
| kristhian | dpkg: error processing archive /home/kristhian/Downloads/viber.deb (--install): | 05:31 |

| alkisg | Viber only supports 64bit installations, not 32bit | 05:32 |
| kristhian | actually i get this from this site | 05:35 |
| kristhian | https://www.viber.com/products/linux/ | 05:35 |
| cfhowlett | kristhian, you can finagle 32 bit apps to run on 64bit devices. NOT the reverse | 05:35 |
| kristhian | i think that is already 64bit | 05:35 |
| alkisg | kristhian: your installation is 32bit | 05:36 |
| alkisg | viber is 64bit | 05:36 |
| kristhian | ill try it again | 05:37 |
| === KindTwo is now known as KindOne | ||
| alkisg | kristhian: you would need to reinstall ubuntu, using the amd64.iso | 05:37 |
| kristhian | isnt mine 64bit already? | 05:39 |

| alkisg | kristhian: no, it isn't. `dpkg --print-architecture` will tell you i386. | 05:40 |
| alkisg | You'd need to use http://releases.ubuntu.com/16.04.3/ubuntu-16.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso instead of ubuntu-16.04.3-desktop-i386.iso | 05:41 |
| kristhian | hmmm, so why i got different output in 'uname -a' and 'dpkg --print-architecture' | 05:42 |

| cfhowlett | uname reports the KERNEL not the architecture | 05:42 |
| alkisg | This is the output of uname -a from a 64bit installation | 05:42 |

| Sterist | awesome :) | 07:20 |
| Sterist | and, anyone know how to troubleshoot VPN refusing to turn on in 17.10? it doesn't appear to be related to display server change | 07:22 |

| aledesc | hi... | 07:44 |
| aledesc | i have came across an issue i can't solve .... | 07:45 |
| hateball | !ask | 07:45 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 07:45 |
| aledesc | the key strokes to change workspaces stop working, i've installed 16.04 LTS | 07:45 |
| aledesc | i'm doing development, is a pain in the ... cause i change ws all the time .. | 07:46 |
| aledesc | i've googled a lot but can't find a solution | 07:46 |
| aledesc | any ideas ? | 07:47 |
| aledesc | anybody have solved this before ? | 07:47 |
| aledesc | any link pointing to a solution _ | 07:49 |
| aledesc | ? | 07:49 |
| hateball | aledesc: It's not working despite you having configured the hotkeys for it? | 07:52 |
| hateball | I don't use Unity so I'm not familiar with how it works | 07:52 |
| aledesc | yes, i went to keyboard configuration, shortcuts, and reentered the shortcuts... but still not working.. | 07:53 |
| aledesc | funny thing is I've not changed anything on config lately | 07:53 |
| aledesc | anything but the keystrokes | 07:54 |
| Amm0n | aladesc, Ctrl+Alt+→ not working? tried to use a different keyboardlayout? | 07:55 |
| aledesc | gonna try | 07:57 |
| aledesc | Amm0m, changed to diff kb layotu, no gains | 08:05 |
| aledesc | still not working .... | 08:05 |
| aledesc | even, assigned keystrokes to go directly to wss, not working neither .. | 08:06 |
| Amm0n | aledesc, maybe it's something with keymap, but i'm not sure how ubuntu 16.04 handles this, try "localectl status" | 08:09 |
| Amm0n | aledesc, this is how systemd handles keymap: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/vconsole.conf.html | 08:11 |
| aledesc | i thing some daemon stop working | 08:11 |
| aledesc | think, sorry .. | 08:11 |
| bryanfrommacau | hi | 08:54 |
| bryanfrommacau | I would like to set up a personal ftp server, but I want it to be secure | 08:55 |
| Amm0n | don't use ftp then | 08:56 |
| bryanfrommacau | I would like to avoid sftp, because I heard that the GFC slows down ssh traffic (I'm not sure if that's true or not) | 08:56 |
| bryanfrommacau | I was wondering if anyone had tips on ftps | 08:56 |
| bryanfrommacau | tbh I don't know much about this kind of thing | 08:56 |
| bryanfrommacau | (I know I should google this, but I'm in china and am having trouble accessing my vpn lately) | 08:57 |
| kristhian | question | 08:59 |
| kristhian | in what directory will i find the log of my history? | 09:00 |
| bryanfrommacau | command line history? | 09:00 |
| kristhian | yep | 09:00 |
| bryanfrommacau | is it still ~./bash_history | 09:03 |
| bryanfrommacau | type the word history into your terminal | 09:03 |
| geirha | ls -l "$HISTFILE" | 09:05 |
| Amm0n | bryanfrommacau, GFC? | 09:05 |
| bryanfrommacau | Great Firewall of China | 09:06 |
| bryanfrommacau | Sorry I should have mentioned that I'm in china | 09:07 |
| bryanfrommacau | I think that they slow down ssh for some reason, rather than outright blocking it | 09:07 |
| kristhian | aw, yes | 09:07 |
| kristhian | thank you | 09:07 |
| bryanfrommacau | But I'm not sure if that applies if my server is inside china also, so I would be willing to give it a try | 09:08 |
| geirha | https is also an option | 09:09 |
| Amm0n | if you want it to be secure, it should be encrypted and i don't know if there is a difference if you use something like vsftpd with ssl or ssh | 09:10 |
| bryanfrommacau | I would actually mostly like to send files to the server so that I can access them when I get home, can https do that? | 09:10 |
| geirha | sure | 09:11 |
| vijaikumar | hello folks | 09:12 |
| bryanfrommacau | I'll look into vsftpd with ssl | 09:12 |
| vijaikumar | if i wanted to check what are all the file accessed by an executable in ubuntu (in an users home) | 09:12 |
| bryanfrommacau | both should be secure, right? | 09:12 |
| vijaikumar | s/if i wanted to/i want to | 09:12 |
| vijaikumar | is there any tool that can help achieve this ? | 09:14 |
| hateball | vijaikumar: lsof | 09:14 |
| bryanfrommacau | how would https work? I thought that was only for serving files....would I have to develop a web interface? | 09:14 |
| vijaikumar | hateball: Thanks. I will check out the tool. | 09:15 |
| hateball | vijaikumar: run with --help or read the manpage to see the different options you might want to use | 09:15 |
| vijaikumar | Thanks hateball. Reading the manpage already :) | 09:16 |
| bryanfrommacau | is SCP a good method? | 09:20 |
| hateball | bryanfrommacau: SFTP (scp) is preferable to FTPS | 09:21 |
| Amm0n | bryanfrommacau, interesting: http://blog.zorinaq.com/my-experience-with-the-great-firewall-of-china/ | 09:23 |
| bryanfrommacau | SFTP and SCP aren't different things? | 09:23 |
| vijaikumar | hateball: lsof -p pid helped my case :) | 09:23 |
| Amm0n | i hope it's not blocked | 09:23 |
| hateball | vijaikumar: :) | 09:24 |
| hateball | !sftp | 09:24 |
| ubottu | SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for its homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 09:24 |
| bryanfrommacau | seems it's not blocked....it's a long read, but I'll try to get through it :) | 09:26 |
| bryanfrommacau | !scp | 09:27 |
| ubottu | scp is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/ | 09:27 |
| bryanfrommacau | my understanding is that sftp is ssh and ftp, but scp seems to be something else | 09:28 |
| bryanfrommacau | ssh but not ftp | 09:28 |
| geirha | sftp and ftp are similar only in name. Their protocols are entirely different. sftp being the sane one | 09:30 |
| Amm0n | sftp is an own protocol, it's not ftp over ssh | 09:31 |
| Amm0n | scp is copy files over ssh | 09:31 |
| Amm0n | this gfc thing is pretty scary | 09:40 |
| bryanfrommacau | yeah, and it's getting worse | 09:40 |
| bryanfrommacau | For the past few days my vpn servers keep becoming unavailable | 09:41 |
| bryanfrommacau | but we can still access most of the internet....just no google, facebook, youtube.... | 09:41 |
| Amm0n | startpage or ixquick? | 09:42 |
| bryanfrommacau | ixquick.de seems to work | 09:45 |
| bryanfrommacau | no .com | 09:45 |
| bryanfrommacau | I'm not familiar with those | 09:45 |
| bryanfrommacau | I type sudo apt-get install openssh-server | 09:51 |
| bryanfrommacau | It goes through the usual information and then says After this operation, 5,144 kB of additional disk space will be used. | 09:51 |
| bryanfrommacau | Do you want to continue? [Y/n] Abort. | 09:51 |
| bryanfrommacau | Each time it aborts | 09:52 |
| TomyWork | Oct 14 13:05:04 100-lu16-git systemd-journald[23915]: Runtime journal (/run/log/journal/) is 44.4M, max 39.5M, 0B free. | 09:53 |
| Amm0n | Not very practical but secure is to encrypt your files locally. Then the protocol you are using doesn't matter much. | 09:53 |
| TomyWork | I suspect that one of my custom services goes into a broken state after that line in the logs | 09:53 |
| TomyWork | as evidenced by EPIPE errors from the application | 09:54 |
| TomyWork | "Broken pipe @ io_write - <STDERR>" | 09:54 |
| TomyWork | how can i test this theory? | 09:54 |
| TomyWork | can i tell journald to do the same action deliberately? | 09:55 |
| bryanfrommacau | I thought about doing that too Amm0n | 09:55 |
| okdana | tell journald to do what action | 09:55 |
| bryanfrommacau | I'm actually not to worried about the content that I'm transferring, I just don't want to be a target for hackers | 09:56 |

| EriC^^ | ss942: what problems? | 10:33 |
| ss942 | the source of problem is probably uefi | 10:33 |
| EriC^^ | ss942: try launching the installer with "ubiquity -b" from the installer | 10:33 |
| ss942 | is there cool tool that can do everything for me and I'd be able to install from live ? | 10:33 |
| EriC^^ | *from the terminal | 10:33 |
| EriC^^ | then manually install grub from a live usb chroot | 10:34 |
| EriC^^ | ss942: does the installer actually make an error saying "grub2 couldn't be installed properly?" | 10:35 |
| ss942 | EriC^^: it did when I picked automatic installation, then I did manual partitioning and it said that everything was installed correctly | 10:35 |
| EriC^^ | ss942: aha, are you in the live usb right now? | 10:36 |
| ss942 | yes | 10:36 |
| EriC^^ | ss942: ok, type "sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 9999" | 10:38 |

| TomyWork | okdana well it says "Runtime journal (/run/log/journal/) is 44.4M, max 39.5M, 0B free." and "Journal started". whatever that action is :) | 10:44 |
| === kostkon_ is now known as kostkon | ||

| CaptainQuirk | I guess I have to launch a dpkg command to solve this | 13:14 |
| CaptainQuirk | but I have no idea how | 13:15 |
| CaptainQuirk | I was following install instructions from this : http://eclim.org/install.html | 13:15 |
| CaptainQuirk | I needed the JDK | 13:16 |
| oerheks | Oracle Java 7 ?? even openjdk has nly 8 and 9 | 13:17 |
| CaptainQuirk | I still see an oracle-java7-installer when doing an apt-cache search | 13:18 |
| oerheks | i would use the webup8team ppa, it gives 6-7-8-9 .. https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/ubuntu/java >>> ppa:webupd8team/java | 13:18 |
| Squarism | People happy with gnome base 17.10? Better or worse than Unity? Or just different? | 13:18 |
| oerheks | !java | 13:18 |
| ubottu | To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 13:18 |
| Squarism | based | 13:19 |
| oerheks | Squarism, join #ubuntu+1 for 17.10 discussion/support, until release | 13:19 |
| CaptainQuirk | oerheks, yes, well trying to install a jdk | 13:19 |
| Squarism | oh, thought it had been released | 13:19 |
| oerheks | Squarism, nope, 3 more days | 13:20 |
| alkisg | Squarism: for some reason you have an old java7 package, which points to an oracle link that no longer exists, so use the webupd8 ppa to install either a newer java7 package, or java8/9 | 13:21 |
| CaptainQuirk | oerheks, I keep on getting the same error after trying to install the oracle-java8-installer | 13:21 |
| CaptainQuirk | something lingers in dpkg | 13:22 |
| alkisg | You need to remove the old, bad java7 installer | 13:22 |
| alkisg | Either update or remove it | 13:22 |
| CaptainQuirk | as far as I've read, it never got installed | 13:22 |
| alkisg | CaptainQuirk: sorry, these were for you, not for Squarism ^ | 13:22 |
| Squarism | =D | 13:22 |
| alkisg | It's installed but not configured | 13:22 |
| alkisg | sudo apt purge oracle-java7-installer | 13:22 |

| ioria | sohail-ahmed, or are you talking about the theme ? | 14:45 |
| tgm4883 | ioria: sounds like X crashing back to login | 14:46 |
| ioria | tgm4883, oh, i see | 14:46 |
| ioria | sohail-ahmed, you mean you can't login in ? | 14:47 |
| sohail-ahmed | ioria: as usual when you enter your password on the login screen, you are supposed to get the desktop but i am getting that login screen again. thanks for responding | 14:48 |
| sohail-ahmed | ioria:with out any additional message | 14:48 |
| ioria | sohail-ahmed, can you open a console ? | 14:48 |
| sohail-ahmed | yes | 14:48 |
| ioria | sohail-ahmed, so you first installed Xubuntu ? | 14:49 |
| sohail-ahmed | ioria: yes | 14:49 |
| ioria | sohail-ahmed, and on xubuntu you installed ubuntu-desktop ? | 14:49 |
| sohail-ahmed | ioria: it was there for over a year or two and then i installed ubuntu-desktop | 14:50 |
| sohail-ahmed | ioria:yes | 14:50 |

| LTCD | tgm4883 Mind walking me through, I swear I have done this before without a single drama | 14:57 |
| ioria | sohail-ahmed, eally don't know why 3.13 is on top of the list, but i suggest you to reboot and from Grub->Advanced Optio, choose 3.13.0-98 | 14:57 |
| Ha55an | Hi, is there any information on a possible patch to the krack wpa2 issue? | 14:58 |
| tgm4883 | LTCD: 'sudo cp <filefrompath> <filetopath>' | 14:58 |
| ioria | sohail-ahmed, sorry, really don't know why 3.11 is on top of the list, but i suggest you to reboot and from Grub->Advanced Optio, choose 3.13.0-98 | 14:58 |
| sohail-ahmed | ioria: would that solve my ubuntu logging in problem | 14:58 |
| ducasse | Ha55an: it will soon be made available | 14:59 |
| ioria | sohail-ahmed, idk, but you need to apt-get update and dist-upgrade | 14:59 |
| catbehemoth | if I want to prevent vms running from being put into swap (if not used for a long time) will sysctl vm.swappinnes=0 do it or do I need to use hugepages or some other trick? | 14:59 |
| sohail-ahmed | ioria: should i first reboot or upgrade first | 14:59 |
| ioria | sohail-ahmed, rebbot | 15:00 |
| catbehemoth | vm being windows 10 on kvm on top of ubunto server 16.04 | 15:00 |
| tgm4883 | Ha55an: there's a handful of CVE's to follow it seems | 15:00 |
| sohail-ahmed | ioria: ok see you in a minute or two | 15:00 |
| ioria | ok | 15:00 |
| LTCD | tgm4883 It said no such file or directory, the report is saved in root. sudo cp /report.docx /home/just1337/Desktop/x.docx | 15:00 |
| tgm4883 | LTCD: well then you've got the wrong from path | 15:00 |
| tgm4883 | LTCD: did you look in /root/ | 15:01 |
| Ha55an | Thanks Ducasse & tgm4883. At work we got emails that Linux is affected but not windows :/ | 15:01 |
| LTCD | What is path for root, like you said /root/ ? | 15:01 |
| tgm4883 | LTCD: depends on if you're looking for root (/) or the root users home directory (/root/) | 15:01 |
| nacc | catbehemoth: 0 only means only use swap if OOM | 15:02 |
| nacc | catbehemoth: it does not mean don't use swap | 15:02 |
| nacc | catbehemoth: so you need to pin (mlock) your application memory if you want it to stay resident | 15:03 |
| LTCD | tgm4883 I've got them onto desktop but they have a padlock icon. How can I change permissions since I'm not the owner? Thanks for your help so far. | 15:03 |
| nacc | catbehemoth: note, also, that swapiness is a global, not a per-VM thing | 15:03 |
| tgm4883 | Ha55an: that's funny, the source I'm reading states it affects pretty much everything "Android, Linux, Apple, Windows, OpenBSD, MediaTek, Linksys, and others, are all affected by some variant of the attacks." | 15:03 |
| tgm4883 | LTCD: use chown or chmod | 15:04 |
| Ha55an | Yes, they misread it. One type of attack doesn't apply to win7 and 10. But they are still affected. | 15:04 |
| LTCD | tgm4883 Sorry stupid question. Thanks so much, I feel like I drop 50 IQ points each time I step onto a computer :/ | 15:06 |
| catbehemoth | nacc: am I betting mlocking it or enabling hugepages? | 15:07 |
| tgm4883 | Ha55an: These should be the CVE's to follow https://paste.ubuntu.com/25753532/ | 15:08 |
| nacc | catbehemoth: they are different, and have different implications | 15:09 |
| sohail-ahmed | ioria: when I did advance options for ubuntu during reboot. I could not see 3.13.0-98. the options were 3.11.0-17 upto 26 | 15:12 |
| catbehemoth | nacc: hugepages permanently reserves the ram for a vm, mlock does it on per process basis right? so why are all the guides for performance tuning vms use hugepages and not mlock? | 15:12 |
| catbehemoth | nacc: or am I not understanding something? | 15:13 |
| nacc | catbehemoth: because hugepages give their own impact | 15:13 |
| nacc | catbehemoth: also, iirc, on some archs, hugpeages are swappable | 15:13 |
| ioria | sohail-ahmed, are you sure; i see 3.13 kern from 44 to 98 | 15:18 |
| sudoman1 | I have opened port 22 for listening and sshd is running two but still I am getting connection refused on client machine. | 15:19 |
| sohail-ahmed | ioria: yes i didnot see 3.13 i just did sudo update-grub and am doing the reboot now | 15:19 |
| sohail-ahmed | ioria: shoud I | 15:19 |
| ioria | sohail-ahmed, why did you update-grub ? | 15:20 |
| sohail-ahmed | ioria: since the advance options were not showing my recent kernel versions | 15:20 |
| ioria | sohail-ahmed, i'am losting you | 15:21 |
| sohail-ahmed | ioria: where | 15:21 |
| ioria | sohail-ahmed, ok, now can you select 3.13-98 kern ? | 15:21 |
| sohail-ahmed | ioria: look | 15:21 |
| sohail-ahmed | ioria: for that to see, i need to reboot | 15:21 |
| ioria | ok | 15:21 |
| alkisg | sudoman1: can you run `ssh localhost` on the client itself? | 15:22 |
| sudoman1 | alkisg: no | 15:24 |
| alkisg | sudoman1: then sshd isn't running? | 15:25 |
| alkisg | dpkg -l openssh-server; sudo netstat -ntap|grep :22 | 15:25 |
| sudoman1 | alkisg: client machine is my android phone and I am using an ssh client app on it. It worked yesterday but don't know what happened today. | 15:26 |
| alkisg | sudoman1: for android questions, try #android | 15:26 |
| alkisg | Sorry, `ssh localhost` I meant on the server | 15:26 |
| alkisg | Not on the client | 15:26 |
| alkisg | Can the server connect to itself? | 15:27 |
| sudoman1 | alkisg: yes on the server it can connect to itself. I have also checked sshd status it is active. I think everything is fine here | 15:28 |
| sohail-ahmed | ioria: it did not show up | 15:28 |
| ioria | sohail-ahmed, meaning ? no 31.13-98 kernel ? | 15:28 |

| lafleurdubien | 10:09 AM <lafleurdubien> Sometimes its so bad the only way to reconnect is to manually stop and restart network manager. And even that only fixes it for a few minutes before it drops again. I'm hoping its fixed with the new version of network manager in 17.10, but I can't install that on 17.04. Any ideas what to do? | 17:09 |

| sylock | hello guy. I'm on 17.10 which was not booting. I tried acpi=off as someone advice and it works. I'm with nouveau for a GTX 670. Now I have an ugly resolution. Does some know how to better the situation and test things? | 18:49 |
| nacc | !ubuntu+1 | sylock | 18:49 |
| ubottu | sylock: Artful Aardvark is the codename for Ubuntu 17.10 - Support only in #ubuntu+1 | 18:49 |
| ricmm | oerheks: vivid is still serving on archive.ubuntu.com and ports | 18:49 |
| nacc | ricmm: it's around for phone, I believe | 18:50 |
| nacc | ricmm: but not supported here | 18:50 |
| ricmm | sure, I guess the question needs rephrasing | 18:50 |
| ricmm | considering phone being unsupported from canonical,do we know when the vivid archive would be ... archived? | 18:50 |
| nacc | ricmm: why does it matter? | 18:51 |
| oerheks | ricmm, #ubports should answer that? | 18:51 |
| nacc | ricmm: or i guess, why does it matter to you, unless you're using 15.04, which is unsupported | 18:53 |
| ioria | sohail-ahmed, why don't you try nomodeset | 18:56 |
| sohail-ahmed | ioria: what is it | 18:57 |
| ioria | !nomodeset | 18:57 |
| ubottu | A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 18:57 |
| sohail-ahmed | ioria: should i do this as i dont have any of the problem mentioned in the definition. | 18:58 |
| ioria | sohail-ahmed, not sure will help, but could give some hints. | 18:58 |
| sohail-ahmed | ioria: ok how should i start | 18:59 |
| ricmm | nacc: it matters for ubports work | 18:59 |
| ricmm | I'm after the exact date | 19:00 |
| ricmm | but I dont know thats known here, no worries | 19:00 |
| ioria | sohail-ahmed, reboot, press 'e', find the 'linux 'line , where you see quiet splash , just add nomodeset | 19:00 |
| ioria | sohail-ahmed, https://i.stack.imgur.com/BnUQa.png | 19:01 |
| oerheks | ricmm, again, join #ubports and ask them? | 19:01 |
| nacc | ricmm: yeah, not an ubuntu question, as you seem to have realized | 19:01 |
| sohail-ahmed | ioria: thanks for the image... so i will have to press e when on reboot screen. and have to replace 'quiet splash' with nomodeset | 19:03 |
| sohail-ahmed | ioria: correct/ | 19:03 |
| ioria | yup | 19:03 |
| ricmm | nacc: how is that not an ubuntu question? well - maybe its a canonical question | 19:04 |
| ioria | sohail-ahmed, i'am going to think your card does not support unity | 19:05 |
| ricmm | as someone made the decision to keep vivid alive in the ubuntu archive, im only after the "until when" part of it | 19:05 |
| oerheks | ricmm, you know who can answer that.. | 19:06 |
| nacc | ricmm: this is the ubuntu support channel. afaik, nothing of what you're asking about it is actively supported any longer. | 19:07 |
| nacc | ricmm: and as oerheks has said a few times, I think you want ubports, not ubuntu | 19:07 |
| ricmm | cheers | 19:08 |

| ioria | sohail-ahmed, yes, but maybe you shold think about a fresh xenial (16.04) install | 20:00 |
| sohail-ahmed | ioria: meaning do i need to do some thing to make it permant | 20:00 |
| kur1j | for example I need freecad- 1:0.16.670-1ppa2-ubuntu16.10.1 | 20:00 |
| ioria | sohail-ahmed, nope, it's written in xorg.conf | 20:00 |
| sohail-ahmed | ioria: by fresh you mean getting rid of present installation and then install newest vresion | 20:00 |
| kostkon | kur1j, what are you trying to do exactly | 20:01 |
| nacc | kur1j: you are on 16.10? | 20:01 |
| ioria | sohail-ahmed, if you want .... | 20:01 |
| ioria | sohail-ahmed, not needed until 2019 | 20:01 |
| kostkon | kur1j, you can manually download the package from that page | 20:01 |
| sohail-ahmed | ioria: so doing dist-upgrade may pose some problems | 20:01 |
| ioria | sohail-ahmed, nope | 20:01 |
| sohail-ahmed | ioria: would doing dist-upgrade be a still called 'fresh' installation | 20:02 |
| ioria | sohail-ahmed, no, do-relase-upgrade is... but i always suggest a fresh (new) install | 20:03 |
| sohail-ahmed | ioria: i am sorry but what is fresh install | 20:03 |
| kur1j | on 16.04 | 20:04 |
| ioria | sohail-ahmed, when you download an iso from the ubuntu website, burn it on a media (like usb) and boot it in order to install it | 20:04 |
| ioria | sohail-ahmed, meaning : reinstall or a new install | 20:05 |
| sohail-ahmed | ioria: ok does doing this require you to format your existing partition | 20:05 |
| nacc | kur1j: why do you not want the latest version in that PPA? | 20:06 |
| ioria | sohail-ahmed, yes, you 'll erase your disk (will loose your data unless you have previously copied) | 20:06 |
| kostkon | kur1j, there is a freecad snap with the latest version. sudo snap install freecad and you are set | 20:07 |
| kostkon | kur1j, forget about the ppa | 20:07 |
| ioria | sohail-ahmed, the practice is to have back-ups (your data saved on a different media) , so you can easily reinstall the os | 20:08 |
| sohail-ahmed | ioria:sorry to ask this.. are there better ways to keep data other than usb drive | 20:09 |

| kur1j | so i think the ppa is messed up and pulling the wrong dependencies | 20:13 |
| nacc | kur1j: where did you get freecad-dev from? | 20:13 |
| kur1j | its in the PPA | 20:13 |

| nacc | kur1j: https://launchpad.net/~freecad-maintainers/+archive/ubuntu/freecad-stable does ot show it | 20:14 |

| nacc | kur1j: i feel like you know this, or you wouldn't be doign it. | 20:14 |
| kur1j | nacc: Its the issue that the PPA references the wrong freecad-dev package | 20:15 |
| nacc | kur1j: there is non freecad-dev package available in the PPA | 20:16 |
| nacc | kur1j: you went and downloaded something manually from a URL | 20:16 |
| nacc | kur1j: also, PPAs are not supported here, contact the PPA owner | 20:16 |
| kur1j | nacc: no I didn't download anything outside of the ppa. I just downloaded the ppa installed it, ran apt-get install freecad and it installed 1:0.16.6712-1ppa3~ubuntu16.04.1 freecad. I then apt-get install freecad-dev and it gives me the error looking for the wrong version | 20:18 |

| nopea | lordcirth_work: thanks... but for now I have to solve the mysql issue | 20:56 |
| nacc | nopea: my initial guess is what lordcirth_work said, you have just istnalled a mysql-client package that is not compatible with mysql-server package on the same server | 20:56 |
| lordcirth_work | nopea, the mysql issue may be *caused* by the lack of updates. A recent version of mysql-client and an old version of server. | 20:56 |
| nacc | seems totally expected, if the server is not updated | 20:56 |
| nacc | jinx lordcirth_work :) | 20:57 |
| nacc | (in essence) | 20:57 |
| nacc | nopea: the prior requested pastebin (from dist-upgrade with -s) will help show how out of date you are. You can also provide `apt-cache policy mysql-server` | 20:57 |
| nopea | no mysql service is listed when I run service --status-all | 20:57 |

| nacc | nopea: i don't know, maybe you built mysql from source? | 21:05 |
| nacc | nopea: also you have a nonstandard repository | 21:06 |
| nopea | I cannot recall - this is a Rackspace cloud server I setup a while ago | 21:06 |
| nopea | nacc: I used a Rackspace Ubuntu image when I set up the server, so I am guessing they have configured it diff. | 21:07 |
| nacc | blkadder: technically "depends" only means that it is available to use at runtime by the installed package. I'm not sure you can rely on finished insntallation of the dependencies. Nor should it generally matter? | 21:07 |
| nacc | blkadder: https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-faq/ch-pkg_basics.en.html#s-depends | 21:08 |
| blkadder | Hrmm... | 21:08 |
| blkadder | Well it seemed to work but that is concerning. | 21:08 |
| nopea | should I try to reinstall the mysql server again? | 21:08 |
| nacc | blkadder: I mean, it's possible that it does work, but I'm not sure it's policy that it has to be so ordered | 21:08 |
| blkadder | nacc: Understood. | 21:08 |
| nacc | blkadder: A depends on B. What does A need from B at install-time? | 21:08 |
| blkadder | In this case package a installs into a directory and creates a symlink to the install. Package B relies on that symlink being present to write another file into it. | 21:09 |
| nacc | blkadder: I assume you mean A relies on it? | 21:10 |
| nacc | blkadder: (given my dependency phrase) | 21:10 |
| blkadder | No. | 21:10 |
| nacc | blkadder: A depends on B, and B relies on a symlinkn from A? | 21:10 |
| blkadder | B relies on a symlink created by A being present | 21:10 |
| nacc | blkadder: then B should depend on A, not A o nB. | 21:10 |
| nacc | blkadder: I wrote "A depends on B" | 21:11 |
| blkadder | I set it up so B relies on A. | 21:11 |
| blkadder | And that fixed my issue. | 21:11 |
| blkadder | I am concerned though that this might not be entirely deterministic. | 21:12 |
| blkadder | Will take a look at the link, thanks. | 21:12 |
| nacc | https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch02.en.html#_package_dependencies | 21:12 |
| nacc | might also be relevant | 21:12 |
| nacc | blkadder: you might need a pre-depends | 21:12 |
| blkadder | Ahh, perfect. | 21:12 |
| blkadder | Thanks. | 21:12 |
| blkadder | Yes I see. | 21:12 |
| nacc | although pre-depends are pretty rare and probably mean something wrong in your srcpkg :) | 21:13 |
| nacc | (organizationally) | 21:13 |
| nacc | nopea: well, i wouldn't suggest installing mysql-server if it's not already installed | 21:13 |
| nacc | nopea: tbh, if this is a rackspace image, you should be talking to rackspace, I think | 21:13 |
| nacc | nopea: coudl you also pastebin `apt-cache policy mysql-server-5.7` ? | 21:14 |
| blkadder | nacc: Well the whole thing is currently a mess and I am trying to undwind the mess and get into system packaging, so you are no doubt correct. crawl->walk->run. ;-) | 21:14 |
| nacc | blkadder: yep :) | 21:15 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | hi. what does the 'install ubuntu alongside windows boot manager' actually do? | 21:16 |
| nopea | nacc: sure - sorry I had stepped away for a sec. And I agree that I should talk to Rackspace. | 21:16 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | it doesn't seem to have installed grub where i expected it to. | 21:16 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | or, at least, i'm still left with windows boot manager booting me to windows after post. | 21:17 |
| nopea | nacc: https://pastebin.com/qt9KyqVp | 21:17 |
| nacc | nopea: hrm, yeah, can you do `ps aux | grep mysqld`, pastebin that -- or look for hte binary that is actually running and then do a `dpkg -S <binary>` to see what package it comes from? | 21:18 |
| nopea | nacc: https://pastebin.com/pBSVgpFk | 21:19 |
| nacc | nopea: yeah, so i'm not sure you are running mysql then ( you could also run `ps aux | grep mysql`, i guess) | 21:19 |
| nacc | nopea: but yeah, the way that istance is setup, it's the rackspace cloud archive + ubuntu security, which basically makes it a rackspace product | 21:20 |
| nopea | yeah when I run dpkg -S mysqld it says that the client only is running | 21:20 |
| nacc | it's possible they are fully in sync, but it's hard to say | 21:20 |
| nacc | nopea: so what makes you think mysql server is isntalled? | 21:20 |
| nopea | nacc: I appreciate the time you have taken, I think I should see what Rackspace says | 21:20 |
| nacc | nopea: seems reasonable, and np | 21:21 |
| nopea | nacc: well my WordPress site is still running... and I assumed that the server would have to be installed for that | 21:21 |
| nacc | nopea: you are hosting your wordpress site (note that is highly likely to be insecure too :) | 21:22 |
| nopea | oh man!!!!!! | 21:22 |
| nacc | nopea: that was meant to be a question, sorry | 21:22 |
| nopea | nacc: I am soooooo sorry... I just realized that this system was setup differently than the dev machine. | 21:22 |
| nacc | nopea: :) | 21:22 |
| nopea | The mysql server is on another machine... oh man do I need sleep or more coffee | 21:22 |
| Bashing-om | NoImNotNineVolt: A lot of dependent factprs . Win - EFI ? intall mode to match Win ? install method where the default grub placement is sda ? | 21:23 |
| nacc | nopea: iirc, wordpress itself only relies on the client being available locally. Yeah, the server can be anywhere (and most put it somewhere else) | 21:23 |
| nopea | nacc: yeah, I just had a brain fart there... I have mysql server on another machine and WordPress is connected to it. I am sorry to have been a pain LOL | 21:24 |
| nacc | nopea: np | 21:24 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | Bashing-om: nevermind, turns out i can't even disable secureboot on this thing. switching to legacy bios and trying again. | 21:25 |
| Bashing-om | NoImNotNineVolt: Bear in mind IF single disk and Win is EFI .. then ubuntu install must also be in EFI mode . | 21:27 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | i'm assuming that's what it did. it gave me a secureboot password. | 21:27 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | but i'm never prompted for it after rebooting. | 21:28 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | or, rather, it asked me to set a secureboot password, and told me i'd be prompted for it on next boot. that never happened. | 21:28 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | win10's bootloader took over. | 21:28 |
| Bashing-om | NoImNotNineVolt: Wont hurt tp disable secure boot , but the ubuntu image is now signed . | 21:29 |
| nicomachus | hi, I'm getting a crash every time I try to start the program "mpdscribble". Here's the crash report: https://i.imgur.com/FEbxq7r.png | 21:32 |
| nicomachus | not sure where to find more verbose logs... | 21:32 |
| nicomachus | any clue what's actually causing the crash? | 21:33 |
| nacc | that's a SIGTRAP | 21:33 |
| nacc | nicomachus: anything in dmesg? | 21:33 |
| nacc | nicomachus: did it generate a core dump? you can run it in gdb if so | 21:33 |
| nicomachus | nacc: this is the only thing I see in dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25755420/ | 21:34 |
| nicomachus | not sure about the core dump... I closed the window and now it's not crashing like it was (even though I made 0 changes, go figure) | 21:35 |
| nacc | https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=776306 | 21:36 |
| ubottu | Debian bug 776306 in mpdscribble "mpdscribble: Fails to start because of error in pidfile creation" [Grave,Open] | 21:36 |
| nacc | maybe related? | 21:36 |
| nacc | dunno, lots of hits on google | 21:36 |
| nicomachus | lemme try commenting out the pid file creation line in the .conf and see if that works. | 21:37 |
| nicomachus | nacc: well, no error when I started it after commenting out that line, so let's see if it scrobbles correctly. | 21:38 |
| nicomachus | nothing in the cached journal. :/ | 21:40 |
| nicomachus | and no scrobbles. | 21:41 |
| nicomachus | ah. well I'll work on it tomorrow. time to shut down for the day. Thanks nacc, maybe I'll work it out later. | 21:42 |
| dinomode | hi guys I installed znc on Ubuntu 16.04 using "apt install znc" but systemctl doesn't find it | 21:46 |
| dinomode | I want to run "systemctl enable znc.service" | 21:46 |
| nacc | dinomode: maybe it doesn't shipa systemd unit? | 21:46 |
| dinomode | right.. so I should use a cronjob? | 21:47 |
| nacc | dinomode: for what? | 21:48 |
| dinomode | start znc on reboot :) | 21:48 |
| nacc | dinomode: i don't konw, seems like you could, sure | 21:49 |
| dinomode | :) | 21:49 |
| oerheks | did you use sudo ? sudo systemctl enable znc.service | 21:50 |
| dinomode | systemctl can't find it :D | 21:51 |
| dinomode | ill just use a cronjob thanks guys | 21:51 |
| patarr | Does apt-get install packages in the order speciifed on the CLI? | 21:54 |
| oerheks | patarr, yes. | 21:55 |
| nacc | oerheks: does it really respect order? | 21:56 |
| nacc | oerheks: i guess i wouldn't rely on that if you care (but also why do you care, patarr ?) | 21:56 |
| mistik1 | It would respect the order if that does not conflict with dependency tracking | 21:57 |
| nacc | yeah | 21:58 |
| nacc | I can see it doing that | 21:58 |
| nacc | but like I was saying for somethign else earlier, that seems like an implementation detail | 21:58 |
| nacc | it might be true right now, but I don't think it's a 'policy' to rely on | 21:58 |
| oerheks | I think it does, dependencies are key ofcourse | 21:58 |
| mistik1 | nacc: Indeed | 21:59 |
| nacc | if you need to install A, then B, use `sudo apt-get install A; sudo apt-get install B` | 21:59 |
| nacc | but I'm failing to see why that would be necessary in most cases | 21:59 |
| CarlFK | how do I edit the command that launcher buttons execute? like I want to add --disable-prompt-on-repost to chrome | 22:05 |
| === KindTwo is now known as KindOne | ||
| pavlos | CarlFK: try "gksudo gedit /usr/share/applications/chrome.desktop", there is an Exec= | 22:19 |

| ArMedic | I had windows 10 on this laptop. Wi-Fi connection speed was around 30Mbps...my phone that is currently connected to to the Wi-Fi is 27Mbps....Ubuntu I am at around 5Mbps most of the time...I have tried some fixes I have read on the internet. None have worked. Any help to speed this up? | 22:28 |

| nicomachus | nacc: mpdscribble just crashed on boot and I have the error log up again. It says CoreDump is just binary data | 22:31 |
| nicomachus | nacc: and that's with the pid stuff commented out, so it's not that bug. | 22:31 |
| nacc | nicomachus: strange | 22:32 |
| nacc | nicomachus: there are others that mention traps (in cursory googling). Sounds like a bug in the program. You could run it in gdb and see if you can see where it is crashing | 22:33 |
| hoe` | Hi, what's the Windows Subsystem for Linux channel? | 22:34 |
| Sleaker | hoe`: ##windows-wsl | 22:34 |
| hoe` | ah bummer, seems dead. | 22:35 |
| nacc | !alis | hoe`: for future reference | 22:35 |
| ubottu | hoe`: for future reference: Alis is an IRC service to help you find channels. For help on using it, see "/msg Alis help list" or ask in #freenode. Example usage: "/msg Alis list http" | 22:35 |
| hoe` | thank you. | 22:35 |
| nacc | !ubuwin | hoe`: may be more active, not sure if it's the same | 22:35 |
| ubottu | hoe`: may be more active, not sure if it's the same: Canonical and Microsoft have announced that Windows 10 will be able to run Ubuntu programs without needing porting/recompilation. This functionality is still in beta and is not supported in #ubuntu. For discussion and support, see #ubuntu-on-windows. | 22:35 |
| hoe` | I'll give them a try. | 22:36 |
| Sleaker | ubottu: pretty sure it's not beta anymore. | 22:36 |
| ubottu | Sleaker: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 22:37 |
| jas | ArMedic what kind of wifi hardware? | 22:37 |
| nacc | Sleaker: i think you can submit a fix to the faq, if you want | 22:37 |
| Sleaker | ah bott has old definition in it's list still | 22:37 |
| * Sleaker shrugs. | 22:37 | |
| Sleaker | and yah that other channel is mostly empty too haha | 22:38 |
| jas | oh ok | 22:38 |
| nicomachus | nacc: gdb? | 22:38 |
| Sleaker | hoe`: honestly probably fine to just ask a generic question in here or in #linux depending on what the question is. | 22:38 |
| Sleaker | if it's specific to WSL then it might be different, but otherwise probably fine. | 22:39 |
| hoe` | this is a very WSL question, hehe. | 22:39 |
| nacc | nicomachus: gnu debugger | 22:39 |
| nacc | nicomachus: anything in the stacktrace? | 22:43 |
| nicomachus | nacc: reading up on gdb. never used it before. just a mo | 22:45 |
| dax | Sleaker: apologies if someone addressed this while I was gone, but WSL is still Beta in Creators Update. I'm unsure about FCU, but FCU isn't out yet anyway. | 22:54 |
| Sleaker | it is? | 22:54 |
| dax | yes, I'm sitting at a Creators Update computer in Windows Features looking at the "Windows Subsystem for Linux (Beta)" line ;) | 22:54 |
| Sleaker | ah yah it shows beta still in the features list | 22:54 |
| Sleaker | although it looks like it's not just ubuntu anymore. | 22:55 |
| dax | and yes, #ubuntu-on-windows is quiet. not a lot of people use WSL compared to regular Ubuntu, and a lot of them are more the github/twitter/etc. type | 22:55 |
| dax | correct | 22:55 |
| Sleaker | they got openSUSE SUSELE and Ubuntu flavors now | 22:55 |
| dax | there's been discussion about closing or moving the IRC channel, but I don't think it went anywhere | 22:55 |
| nicomachus | There's probably a gitter chat somewhere | 22:55 |
| dax | it's an Ubuntu IRC Team channel, not a Canonical/Microsoft one, so very best-effort and pseudo-official | 22:56 |
| dax | hrm, maybe not even IRC Team, I think it's just some random #ubuntu-* channel I transferred to the IRC Council | 22:57 |
| nicomachus | leave it to dax to go meta-irc | 22:57 |
| dax | yeah, i'm bad about that :s | 22:57 |
| nicomachus | :D | 22:57 |
| dax | Sleaker: oh hey, turns out WSL is leaving beta in fall creators update. so i will fix ubottu tomorrow :P | 23:02 |
| Sleaker | sounds good. | 23:02 |

| quirkyQt` | hi :) | 23:27 |
| StickyNipples | anyone here use thinkpads? | 23:31 |
| oerheks | Ask your real question and find out? | 23:34 |
| StickyNipples | oh, duh... Theres some sort of docking connection and wondering what its for and if it works with Linux | 23:36 |
| nicomachus | StickyNipples.... what? | 23:36 |
| nicomachus | A dedicated Linux hardware port? | 23:36 |
| nicomachus | oh I read that wrong. | 23:37 |
| StickyNipples | sorry, I am trying to think of how to ask my question. Its like english is a second language when speaking to other people | 23:38 |
| oerheks | a dock is just a port replicator, for vga, usb and networking, without specs i cannot tell anything about it, if it works.. knowing thinkpad it could well be | 23:38 |
| kostkon | StickyNipples, you mean you've got a dock for it | 23:38 |
| oerheks | i think he wonders what that port underneat his thinkpad does | 23:39 |
| StickyNipples | Well I want to know if the dock would even be usable, are drivers necessary? | 23:39 |
| oerheks | https://www.laptopshop.nl/product/733885/lenovo-thinkpad-workstation-dock.html | 23:39 |
| oerheks | no drivers needed, afaik | 23:40 |
| StickyNipples | neat | 23:41 |
| StickyNipples | what about the fingerpringt scanners? do they work in linux? does linux even unlock with fingerprints? | 23:41 |
| oerheks | yes, there is a list of working models https://launchpad.net/~fingerprint/+archive/ubuntu/fingerprint-gui | 23:42 |
| oerheks | lsusb or lspci would tell the 8 digit hex number | 23:43 |
| StickyNipples | oooooooh I cant wait to get a T470 and put Neon on there! :D | 23:44 |
| oerheks | :-) | 23:45 |
| StickyNipples | I was nervous before but now Im excited! | 23:46 |
| StickyNipples | thanks for the help!!!! :D | 23:46 |
| oerheks | yw | 23:46 |
| MInor723 | How can I get ubuntu to show me the menu bar in qbittorrent? I need it so i can enable rss manager | 23:59 |
