| R-Smith | does anyone know how to disable the transparency-shifting effect on the top menu bar in 17.10? | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| EriC^^ | mia_temp: looks good, type "sudo umount /mnt" | 00:01 |
| R-Smith | I found the option to disable it for the dock in dconf editor, but I can't find an option to disable it in the menu bar | 00:01 |
| EriC^^ | mia_temp: then type "sudo mount /dev/sdd2 /mnt" | 00:02 |
| mia_temp | EriC^^: done | 00:02 |
| EriC^^ | mia_temp: type "sudo parted /dev/sdd set 1 boot on" | 00:03 |
| EriC^^ | mia_temp: that sets the boot flag for the windows 7 partition | 00:04 |
| mia_temp | EriC^^: not needed | 00:04 |
| mia_temp | windows 7 is just VERY rare | 00:04 |
| mia_temp | if that disk is picked from the bios menu, ubuntu should start | 00:04 |
| mia_temp | (normally) | 00:04 |
| mia_temp | windows 7 is there just as a plan C, you know | 00:05 |
| EriC^^ | yeah, doesn't windows not like it when it's not set though? | 00:05 |
| mia_temp | hm what do you mean | 00:05 |
| mia_temp | hat did that command do --- just add windows 7 to the menu? | 00:05 |
| EriC^^ | no, it sets the "boot" flag for the windows 7 ntfs partition | 00:05 |
| mia_temp | (also gave me this notification: éInformation: You may need to update /etc/fstab.") | 00:05 |
| mia_temp | so it makes win7 the default? | 00:06 |
| EriC^^ | no, it's just a requirement for some bios, and windows usually wants it for it to boot | 00:06 |
| mia_temp | oh okay | 00:06 |
| mia_temp | 99% of the things you told me to execute, I didn't get them anyway | 00:07 |
| EriC^^ | np :D | 00:07 |
| mia_temp | so this seems to be fixed? | 00:07 |
| mia_temp | May I restart and try? | 00:07 |
| EriC^^ | mia_temp: not yet, the ubuntu install is kind of wacky | 00:07 |
| mia_temp | oh okay | 00:07 |
| mia_temp | what should we do now | 00:07 |
| mia_temp | I can reinstall ubuntu btw -- if needed | 00:08 |
| EriC^^ | mia_temp: type "for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done" | 00:08 |
| EriC^^ | as you wish, we can fix it if you want, it needs to fix fstab and install the right grub package | 00:09 |
| mia_temp | that ubuntu install is kind of damaged if you ask me | 00:09 |
| mia_temp | mouse wheel is not working for some reason | 00:09 |
| mia_temp | and the screen drivers are messed up | 00:09 |
| mia_temp | it's updated from 16.04 lts | 00:10 |
| mia_temp | prob. that's what broke my things in the first place | 00:10 |
| EriC^^ | ah, better to clean install then | 00:10 |
| mia_temp | But if you think fixing is a better option then let's fix | 00:10 |
| mia_temp | okay | 00:10 |
| mia_temp | so next question: | 00:10 |
| mia_temp | how can I clean install and keep my user data | 00:10 |
| mia_temp | also, is the boot configuration correct as it is now, I mean, / as the <boot< partition | 00:11 |
| mia_temp | is this how it should be normally ? | 00:11 |
| billythekid | Hello guys. It seems during installation I "managed" to installed both Luks and ecryptfs. If I see a ~/.encryptfs and a LVM _encrypt volume it means I'm double encrypting right??? | 00:11 |
| EriC^^ | mia_temp: well it doesn't matter really for linux, some bios need that there's a primary partition with a boot flag or they won't bother loading any bootloader code at all | 00:11 |
| mia_temp | oh so could I just use one partition for everything | 00:12 |
| mia_temp | I use two now, I guess | 00:12 |
| mia_temp | so user files should be in a bigger partition, 80 gigs or so | 00:12 |
| mia_temp | whereas the system is 20 gigs | 00:12 |
| EriC^^ | mia_temp: yeah sure, the user data should be in the /home partition which is /dev/sdd3 | 00:12 |
| mia_temp | ok, so I believe if I reinstall again, I'll check format for the / partition and leave the /me as is | 00:13 |
| mia_temp | and select / as /boot --- ? | 00:13 |
| mia_temp | would that work | 00:13 |
| mia_temp | (or ideal?) | 00:13 |
| mia_temp | Thank you very much EriC^^ for all your time and support, by the way, this is extremely helpful, you can't imagine what kind of a panic attack you've saved me from.. | 00:13 |
| EriC^^ | mia_temp: yeah just choose to format the "/" partition, it will put /boot in it no need to select that, about the /home i'd not touch it i dunno how the installer goes about stuff, then just add it in fstab later | 00:15 |
| mia_temp | fstab? | 00:15 |

| tick | and synaptic package manager doesn't seem to run... the password dialog box pops up but synaptic doesn't start after that. any one else experiece this? any fixes? | 01:28 |
| above_the_clouds | @tick: Strange. Have you tried to apply any updates to see if that would resolve the issue? Example: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade\ | 01:31 |

| === armeg is now known as jrgilman_ | ||

| devslash | i installed 17.10 and rebooted and now it doesnt boot. it gets stuck on the ubuntu logo with the 5 dots | 01:55 |
| tick | devslash: i had that problem, i manually powered down and restarted and it booted fine but a bit slow. although i have a few glitches now and i wonder if they relate to that somehow | 01:57 |
| devslash | i dunno | 01:58 |
| devslash | its been on the boot screen for 10 minutes now | 01:59 |
| rdh | devslash, pressing an arrow key at the ubuntu logo will show console output | 01:59 |
| tick | devslash: did you try manually powering it down and restarting? | 01:59 |
| devslash | yes | 01:59 |
| devslash | pressing arrow key doesnt do anything | 02:00 |
| devslash | i tried removing quiet ad splash from the boot params and i dont see any output | 02:02 |
| devslash | justa blank purple screen | 02:02 |
| eb0t_ | in general how is 17.10 going for those that have dared to upgrade | 02:03 |
| devslash | bad | 02:03 |
| rdh | eb0t_, well for me | 02:03 |
| devslash | dont unless you want to reinstall | 02:03 |
| eb0t_ | ah ..ok | 02:03 |

| SKSMajalengka_ri | assalamualaikum | 02:04 |
| eb0t_ | is reinstallation gonna be a big inconvenience for you devslash | 02:05 |
| devslash | yes | 02:06 |
| eb0t_ | if you have all your stuff saved ..might be a good option | 02:06 |
| eb0t_ | ah sorry to hear that | 02:06 |
| devslash | im at root console | 02:07 |
| devslash | i did ifconfig eth0 up and it says no such device | 02:07 |
| devslash | did the device naming change in 17.10 ? | 02:08 |
| eb0t_ | try sudo udevadm trigger | 02:08 |
| eb0t_ | then type ip addr | 02:08 |
| devslash | weird | 02:09 |
| devslash | it shows i have an ip but i cant ping google | 02:09 |
| eb0t_ | what is the name of the interface | 02:10 |
| eb0t_ | that it shows | 02:10 |
| devslash | enp10s0 | 02:10 |
| eb0t_ | cool so no longer eth0 | 02:10 |

| === Luminohelix is now known as luminohelix | ||
| devslash | what can i do | 02:13 |
| eb0t_ | you can look in /etc/resolv.conf to see if you have any nameservers declared | 02:14 |
| eb0t_ | if not | 02:14 |
| SKSMajalengka_ri | my name is rival, what is your name | 02:14 |
| eb0t_ | just type put nameserver 8.8.8.8 and save it | 02:14 |
| eb0t_ | then dns will work | 02:14 |
| devslash | what do i put in there exactly | 02:14 |
| eb0t_ | exactly what i wrote | 02:15 |
| devslash | put nameserver 8.8.8.8 | 02:15 |
| eb0t_ | nameserver 8.8.8.8 | 02:15 |
| eb0t_ | for some reason your upgrade has removed your resolv.conf file ..or replaced it with a blank one | 02:16 |
| eb0t_ | then try ping www.google.com | 02:16 |
| devslash | ok that worked | 02:16 |
| devslash | im able to ping google.com | 02:17 |
| eb0t_ | good | 02:17 |

| devslash | but otherwise my install is still currently screwed up | 02:17 |
| eb0t_ | switch user to your username and type startx | 02:17 |
| eb0t_ | in fact that probably wont work | 02:18 |
| eb0t_ | i think ubuntu is now using wayland | 02:18 |
| eb0t_ | but you can try | 02:18 |
| eb0t_ | i know nothing of wayland | 02:18 |
| eb0t_ | startx is for starting x environment | 02:18 |
| eb0t_ | god only knows how you initiate wayland | 02:18 |
| devslash | can anyone help me out | 02:19 |
| devslash | hmm i just noticed something interesting | 02:19 |
| devslash | teamviewer just started up on this desktop but console f1 shows blank purple screen | 02:19 |
| devslash | so its running in the background | 02:21 |
| eb0t_ | try ctrl alt f1 then same with f2 etc | 02:21 |
| eb0t_ | you will eventually come back to where you are now | 02:21 |
| eb0t_ | there is a possibility wayland is running somewhere | 02:22 |
| devslash | no it isnt | 02:22 |
| eb0t_ | you could also from root ps aux | grep ayland | 02:23 |
| eb0t_ | dbus-run-session -- gnome-shell --display-server --wayland | 02:27 |
| eb0t_ | type that from root | 02:27 |
| eb0t_ | maybe lose the space between -- and gnome-shell | 02:28 |
| devslash | doesnt work | 02:28 |
| eb0t_ | what error is it giving you | 02:29 |
| devslash | no such option gnome-shell | 02:29 |
| eb0t_ | try without the space then | 02:29 |
| eb0t_ | and with the space | 02:29 |
| devslash | no go | 02:29 |
| eb0t_ | ok then cd /etc | 02:29 |
| eb0t_ | no dont bother with that | 02:29 |
| eb0t_ | type whereis wayland | 02:29 |
| devslash | its in /usr/share/wayland | 02:30 |

| devslash | ok hang on i need to install gnome-session | 02:31 |
| devslash | it says Trace/breakpoint trap | 02:32 |

| devslash | how | 02:36 |
| devslash | i mean what would i run | 02:36 |
| eb0t_ | sudo apt-get update | 02:37 |

| eb0t_ | do you remember what you were doing before it stopped working | 02:45 |
| devslash | just trying to set a wallpaper | 02:45 |
| eb0t_ | hmm ..display kind of stuff | 02:45 |
| devslash | the screen went all blue and didnt respond so i rebooted | 02:45 |
| devslash | never worked after that | 02:46 |

| dar123 | i am trying to add some variables available after boot. added them to my Sxx scripts. export foo=bar but they don't show up | 02:48 |

| ReedK0 | Someone help me make an ubuntu script please. :D | 07:11 |
| ReedK0 | It's kinda a keylogger. | 07:11 |
| ikonia | ReedK0: we will not help with that | 07:11 |
| ikonia | this channel is for ubuntu support - not scripting or exploit development | 07:11 |
| yokowka | ReedK0 i used burned program recomended ubuntu | 07:11 |
| hellrazor | apt policy lvm2 | 07:11 |
| ReedK0 | it's not an exploit. | 07:11 |
| hellrazor | E: Invalid operation policy | 07:11 |
| hellrazor | You have new mail in /var/mail/root | 07:11 |
| alkisg | !bootinfo | grep yokowka: | 07:11 |
| ubottu | grep yokowka:: Boot info script is a useful script for diagnosing boot problems. Please run the script following the directions here: http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ and then !pastebin the RESULTS.txt for us to use to help diagnose your problem. | 07:11 |
| alkisg | yokowka: can you do that? ^ | 07:12 |
| hellrazor | @ alkisg | 07:12 |
| ReedK0 | Do you know a good scripting language for ubuntu desktop? | 07:12 |
| Toba | So, in unity - how can I make windows stop trying to "snap" to various other shapes when I resize them? | 07:12 |
| alkisg | hellrazor: which distro/version is that? | 07:12 |
| hellrazor | Invaled operation policy | 07:12 |
| Toba | I want to set the sizes of my windows the way i set them and have nothing automatic happen | 07:12 |
| ikonia | ReedK0: there are many scripting and programming langauges, what matters is the one you can write in | 07:12 |
| hellrazor | alkisg: ubuntu 14.04 but it start as 12.10 or so | 07:12 |
| hellrazor | has a few dist upgrades behind it | 07:12 |
| alkisg | hellrazor: it sounds like you have bad sources.list. What's the output of lsb_release -r ? | 07:12 |
| hellrazor | Release: 14.04 @ alkisg | 07:13 |
| yokowka | alkisg i'm trying | 07:13 |
| yokowka | alkisg to do that | 07:13 |
| hellrazor | alkisg: so fixing the sources.list might help | 07:14 |
| alkisg | hellrazor: egrep -rv '^#|^$' /etc/apt/sources.list* | nc termbin.com 9999 | 07:14 |
| hellrazor | alkisg: http://termbin.com/k9mz | 07:14 |
| hellrazor | what a mess | 07:15 |
| cristian_c | hello | 07:15 |
| alkisg | hellrazor: apt-cache policy lvm2 | 07:15 |
| cristian_c | when I use mozplugger, opening pdf files, I notice a strange behaviour about input events. If I use arrow keys on keyboard, they don't work, but if I use the mouse wheel scrolling, it works, instead | 07:16 |
| alkisg | (why ftp instead of http there in the sources...) | 07:16 |
| cristian_c | How could I fix the issue for embedded pdf files using it? | 07:16 |
| cristian_c | any ideas? | 07:16 |
| ReedK0 | ikonia, i can't write any of them for ubuntu. Isn't there like an ubuntu equivalent of batch? | 07:17 |
| hellrazor | alkisg: http://termbin.com/dsx6 | 07:17 |
| hellrazor | thats bad its inconsistend | 07:17 |
| hellrazor | i presume this is also the case for all the other packages | 07:17 |
| ikonia | ReedK0: the most common is the shell scripts | 07:18 |
| === KindTwo is now known as KindOne | ||
| alkisg | hellrazor: the problem is that you enabled the proposed repository | 07:19 |
| alkisg | hellrazor: this is used to *check* new packages that *might* end up in updates | 07:20 |
| alkisg | You are supposed to only installed a few packages from there, the ones that you need to check | 07:20 |
| hellrazor | ok makes sense | 07:20 |
| alkisg | But now you updated from there, and you cannot redownload packages that were removed from the proposed queue | 07:20 |
| hellrazor | :D | 07:20 |
| alkisg | So the correct way forward, is to remove proposed from your sources, and downgrade the packages affected | 07:21 |
| alkisg | hellrazor: run software-properties-gtk, and remove proposed | 07:21 |
| hellrazor | that would be remove trusty-proposed? | 07:21 |
| alkisg | Yes | 07:21 |
| alkisg | But that's not enough | 07:21 |
| alkisg | Then run sudo apt-get update | 07:21 |
| hellrazor | in sources.list? | 07:21 |
| hellrazor | of course i know | 07:21 |
| alkisg | Eeeh you can do it from a GUi | 07:22 |
| alkisg | From software-properties-gtk | 07:22 |
| alkisg | But if you want to directly edit sources.list, sure | 07:22 |
| hellrazor | it already open in vim =) | 07:22 |
| alkisg | OK | 07:22 |
| alkisg | Then run apt-get update | 07:22 |
| alkisg | And then I'll send you a script | 07:22 |
| hellrazor | alkisg: ok i guess have to change the apt-cache policy i presume | 07:24 |
| alkisg | No, this only shows things, it doesn't change them | 07:25 |
| alkisg | Give me a moment to optimize the script... | 07:26 |
| hellrazor | ok so how can i reinstall them? | 07:26 |
| alkisg | hellrazor: wget http://termbin.com/wjsc -Ο /tmp/official-package-versions; chmod +x /tmp/official-package-versions; /tmp/official-package-versions | 07:27 |
| alkisg | What's the output of that? | 07:27 |
| yokowka | alkisg this command sudo ~/Downloads/bootinfoscript need password of superuser, i don't know it... | 07:31 |
| alkisg | yokowka: it's your own password | 07:31 |
| alkisg | The password of the user | 07:31 |
| yokowka | alkisg ok i'll tru | 07:32 |
| yokowka | try | 07:32 |
| alkisg | hellrazor: you may need to change "apt policy" to "apt-cache policy" in line 12: LANG=C.UTF-8 LANGUAGE= apt-cache policy '*' 2>/dev/null | ( | 07:32 |
| hellrazor | jeah their is a error | 07:33 |
| hellrazor | ok correcting | 07:33 |
| yokowka | alkisg my pass is wrong, sudo ~/Downloads/bootinfoscript not find such command... | 07:35 |
| alkisg | yokowka: run "sudo -i", does that work? | 07:36 |
| yokowka | alkisg trying | 07:36 |
| hellrazor | alkisg: i do not get anything back except the printf msg in the beginning | 07:36 |
| alkisg | hellrazor: wait for 10-20 secs | 07:37 |
| alkisg | Did you get back to the prompt?! | 07:37 |
| hellrazor | alkisg: nope only the printf | 07:37 |
| yokowka | alkisg works - now in root | 07:37 |
| alkisg | hellrazor: did the script finish, do you see hellrazor@pc$ ? | 07:37 |
| alkisg | yokowka: ok, where did you put the bootinfoscript? | 07:38 |
| hellrazor | alkisg: nothing | 07:39 |
| yokowka | alkisg i unpaked it to downloads folder | 07:39 |
| alkisg | yokowka: ok, go to the downloads folder and see what the path is, it might be russian or something instead of "downloads" | 07:40 |
| yokowka | alkisg path is? | 07:40 |
| alkisg | yokowka: the list of directories to go there, e.g. /home/yokowka/Λήψεις/bootinfoscript | 07:40 |
| alkisg | It displays it in the bar on top | 07:41 |
| alkisg | hellrazor: nothing means it finished and you see the command prompt, or that it didn't finish? | 07:41 |
| hellrazor | it did finished and set me backto the command prompt without erros | 07:41 |
| alkisg | hellrazor: You're supposed to see something like this, and we want the last line: http://termbin.com/bnsb | 07:43 |
| piraye | hi, can anyone help me, please? https://paste.pound-python.org/show/egQlrYG7MB8ajz50688Q/ | 07:43 |
| alkisg | Are you sure you properly fixed the apt-cache policy line? | 07:43 |
| hellrazor | alkisg: yes | 07:43 |
| hellrazor | alkisg: http://termbin.com/veu8 | 07:45 |
| alkisg | hellrazor: apt-cache policy '*' > /tmp/aptpolicy | 07:46 |
| alkisg | This will generate a big file, e.g. 20 MB | 07:46 |
| alkisg | Do you have anywhere to upload it and give us the link? | 07:46 |
| alkisg | Maybe my script needs fixing for 14.04... | 07:46 |
| hellrazor | alkisg: i can put it on dropbox if thats ok | 07:46 |
| alkisg | Sure | 07:46 |
| hellrazor | alkisg: actually the problem contists for two machines here | 07:47 |
| yokowka | alkisg /home/downloads/bootinfoscript | 07:47 |
| alkisg | yokowka: nice, so run that one with sudo | 07:47 |
| yokowka | alkisg now i'm in root | 07:47 |
| yokowka | alkisg what command is? | 07:48 |
| hellrazor | apt-cache policy '*' | 07:48 |
| hellrazor | N: Unable to locate package * | 07:48 |
| yokowka | alkisg to run | 07:48 |
| hellrazor | no wildcard here | 07:48 |
| alkisg | hellrazor: change * to .* | 07:49 |
| crc32 | in Ubuntu 17.10 metacity how do I get the left and bottom borders back in gnome-terminal? | 07:49 |
| alkisg | I think that's the issue with the script,in 14.04 | 07:49 |
| alkisg | In line 12 again | 07:49 |
| hellrazor | alkisg: now the script seems to be running | 07:50 |
| alkisg | Cool, put the output to pastebin to see if it's sane | 07:50 |
| alkisg | We basically need to check the last apt-get install command there | 07:50 |
| hellrazor | i do not get any output | 07:51 |
| alkisg | Did the script finish running? | 07:51 |
| hellrazor | it just drops me back to the shell | 07:51 |
| alkisg | Hrm | 07:51 |
| alkisg | Can you run this first? "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade; apt-cache policy lvm2" | 07:51 |
| alkisg | I tried the script in a 14.04 VM and it worked fine | 07:51 |
| alkisg | (with the .* change) | 07:51 |
| hellrazor | executing | 07:52 |
| alkisg | Latest version: http://termbin.com/t6mt | 07:52 |
| hellrazor | alkisg: no change for the lvm2 policy | 07:53 |
| alkisg | hellrazor: output of the above commands? | 07:53 |
| alkisg | Put all of it to pastebin | 07:53 |
| hellrazor | gimme a second | 07:54 |
| latenite | Hi folks, I installed the package "libvirt-daemon".But I can not find any systemd service files for it. What am I missing here? | 07:55 |
| hellrazor | alkisg: this is the Laptop: https://pastebin.com/ZFtuRYbC | 07:56 |
| alkisg | hellrazor: the laptop doesn't have the issue | 07:56 |
| alkisg | hellrazor: the installed version is not the one from proposed, but from normal updates | 07:56 |
| alkisg | Installed: 2.02.98-6ubuntu2 ==> previously you had 6ubuntu3 installed | 07:57 |
| cfhowlett | hellrazor, pretty sure the command is sudo do-release-upgrade | 07:57 |
| hellrazor | alkisg: two maschine here | 07:57 |
| alkisg | (I assume in the second machine) | 07:57 |
| hellrazor | laptop and desktop | 07:57 |
| hellrazor | lets fokus on desktop | 07:57 |
| alkisg | hellrazor: yes, so run the script in the desktop, right | 07:57 |
| cfhowlett | if that's what you're after | 07:57 |
| latenite | In other words, how do I start libvirtd on Ubuntu? | 07:57 |
| alkisg | cfhowlett: no, he wants to revert the version of some packages to the official ones, instead of the ones from -proposed that he accidentally enabled | 07:58 |
| hellrazor | alkisg: DEsktop: https://pastebin.com/krTrKimq | 07:58 |
| cfhowlett | ah. I stand corrected, alkisg. good looking out. | 07:58 |
| hellrazor | and he still has the issue | 07:58 |
| alkisg | hellrazor: yup, now run the script there. Latest version: http://termbin.com/t6mt | 07:59 |
| alkisg | It should give you an apt-get install command in the desktop pc | 07:59 |
| hellrazor | we will see | 08:00 |
| hellrazor | alkisg: i have to fix your newest version script again apt-ache etc.. ;D | 08:01 |
| alkisg | No | 08:01 |
| yokowka | alkisg such new problem: bootinfoscript(~/Downloads/bootinfoscript-061)-gedit - bash... mistake newline | 08:01 |
| hellrazor | ok your right | 08:01 |
| hellrazor | but no command prompt or install msg or whatever | 08:01 |
| alkisg | hellrazor: wait 10-20 secs, it's a big file (20 mb) to be parsed by bash | 08:01 |
| hellrazor | alkisg: it shoudl generate cpuload | 08:02 |
| alkisg | Yes,it should... | 08:03 |
| hellrazor | it is definitely parsing | 08:03 |
| hellrazor | then ends | 08:03 |
| alkisg | apt-cache and official-package-versions should take a lot of cpu in `top` | 08:03 |
| alkisg | Did it spit an apt-get install line? | 08:03 |
| hellrazor | nope | 08:03 |
| hellrazor | it did not | 08:03 |
| alkisg | yokowka: I'll need to leave in a few minutes so I don't think I have time to walk you through this,wait for someone else | 08:03 |
| alkisg | hellrazor: can you upload the big file to dropbox? | 08:04 |
| alkisg | apt-cache policy '.*' > /tmp/aptpolicy | 08:04 |
| alkisg | From the desktop pc | 08:04 |
| latenite | Hi, Is this the Ubuntu support channel? | 08:06 |
| cfhowlett | latenite, yes it is. | 08:06 |
| latenite | cfhowlett, ok cool. How do I pose a question so I get an answer? | 08:09 |
| cfhowlett | like this ^^^ | 08:09 |
| cfhowlett | !ask | 08:09 |
| 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 | 08:09 |

| crc32 | in Ubuntu 17.10 metacity how do I get the left and bottom borders back in gnome-terminal? | 08:10 |
| crc32 | its 2017 and its still a pain in the ass to get even 1 pixel borders to show up | 08:11 |
| crc32 | i only see solutions for unity but non for metacity | 08:11 |
| hellrazor | cfhowlett: do-release-upgrade installs all these packages i do not want ... running xfce4/i3wm combo | 08:11 |
| hellrazor | and removes all the packages i want | 08:12 |
| hellrazor | and it would force thesystem to use systemd | 08:12 |
| hellrazor | sooo | 08:12 |
| cfhowlett | hellrazor, yes, I was corrected on that earlier. sorry for giving advice without the pertinent facts. | 08:12 |
| alkisg | hellrazor: ah, I see the issue, apt in 14.04 doesn't show as candidate the version from the repository, so my script needs fixing. No time to do that now though, so if you don't fix it, ping me another day... | 08:13 |
| latenite | Question: how do I start 'libvirtd' on Ubuntu 17? I can not find any systemd service files or scripts in /etc/init.d/ | 08:13 |
| hellrazor | ok at least i now know what the problem is | 08:13 |
| hellrazor | so i can somehow fiy it manually | 08:13 |
| alkisg | hellrazor: you'd end up with an apt-get install lvm2=2.02.98-6ubuntu2 line, with the stock versions there | 08:14 |
| * alkisg waves, later... | 08:14 | |
| hellrazor | alkisg: there are a lot of packages | 08:14 |
| alkisg | Yes, it would be a long line :) | 08:14 |
| hellrazor | which this issue applies to | 08:14 |
| alkisg | E.g. 50 packages in one line | 08:14 |
| hellrazor | around 30 | 08:15 |
| alkisg | You can also do it manually... bb! | 08:15 |
| hellrazor | hm.. | 08:15 |
| hellrazor | i know | 08:15 |
| hellrazor | fixing script is better ^^ | 08:15 |
| latenite | Hi folks, I am on 17.04 and there is no service file for libvirtd. Only a init.d script: https://gist.github.com/kaipoeritz/d059715c59161fb04b05be58c91f3410 | 08:20 |
| latenite | Why is that? | 08:20 |
| akik | latenite: systemd includes sysv init compatibility | 08:20 |
| latenite | I see lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Jun 21 17:33 /sbin/init -> /lib/systemd/systemd | 08:20 |
| latenite | so why are the services not managed by .service files? | 08:21 |
| latenite | akik, I know systemd can handle sysv stuff. But why is Ubuntu not providing the service files in the packages? | 08:21 |
| akik | latenite: i guess your guess is as good as mine | 08:22 |
| latenite | akik, maybe efford was missing to write the files? | 08:27 |
| akik | latenite: do you have /lib/systemd/system/libvirt-bin.service? | 08:27 |
| Huskar | Hi! I've updated to 17.10 yesterday, and since ubuntu closes all open applications if it goes into standby....... I dont know where I can configure this. | 08:28 |
| crc32 | is there a schema file for metacity-theme-1.xml cause this invisible border crap sucks | 08:30 |
| sirru5h | Hey is anyone else having issues with 17.10 and synaptic ? | 08:32 |
| crc32 | suspend worked for me. I wonder if its an ACPI bug | 08:34 |
| sirru5h | Just wondering if anyone here has had issues with synaptic ( yes I am using sudo) | 08:43 |
| latenite | akik, I made a mistake. I was wrong. I have /lib/systemd/system/libvirtd.service | 08:44 |

| sirru5h | supay, what version of ubuntu ? | 08:54 |
| supay | sirru5h: 16.04 | 08:55 |
| supay | sirru5h: and the funny thing is, i'm trying to find which package(s) is/are broken, but can't | 08:55 |
| supay | super weird tbh | 08:56 |
| hellrazor | broken packages are bad | 08:56 |
| hellrazor | i am just forced to cleanup stuff manually not really a pleasure here... | 08:56 |
| supay | hellrazor: yeah. but i can't seem to find what's broken. that's my biggest problem | 08:57 |
| hellrazor | apt-cachy policy packagename? | 08:59 |
| hellrazor | in your case vlc | 08:59 |
| crc32 | for real how do you get a 1px border for gnome terminal. I'm using metacity on ubuntu 17.10. | 09:00 |
| xtron | all the ubuntu versions share the same version of a package (for example gcc) or it is some thing update with ubuntu upgrade ? | 09:01 |
| supay | hellrazor: https://paste.ubuntu.com/25792233/ | 09:01 |
| crc32 | this is bullshit. Why does ubuntu keep pushing borderless windows | 09:03 |
| supay | any help guys? | 09:11 |
| Ben64 | supay: apt-cache policy vlc browser-plugin-vlc libgles1-mesa libgles1 libgles2-mesa libgles2 | 09:13 |

| hellrazor | i must say i reallly really starting to hate ubuntu right now | 09:15 |
| supay | hellrazor: me too, and i've only had it one day :D | 09:16 |
| supay | i'm pretty sure i fcuked up. but ubuntu is not making this easy | 09:16 |
| hellrazor | dude i am currently manually reinstalling packages... | 09:16 |
| Ben64 | supay: sudo apt install libgles2-mesa | 09:18 |
| supay | Ben64: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25792318/ :( | 09:19 |
| hellrazor | supay: manually downgrade the package in question | 09:20 |
| supay | Ben64: it just goes on and on | 09:20 |
| supay | hellrazor: what do you mean? | 09:20 |
| Ben64 | don't do that | 09:21 |
| hellrazor | apt-cache policy libgles2-mesa | 09:21 |
| supay | hellrazor: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25792324/ | 09:21 |
| hellrazor | thats fine | 09:22 |

| Ben64 | supay: apt-cache show libglapi-mesa vlc | 09:23 |
| cfhowlett | might I suggest you NOT rush out to install new versions as soon as they drop. most of the bugs and annoyances you see in the fresh release are fixed by the first point release, e.g. 17.10.1 | 09:23 |
| hellrazor | iam going crazy to fix this 14.04.. | 09:24 |
| supay | cfhowlett: so i upgrade? | 09:24 |
| Ben64 | supay: no | 09:24 |
| piraye | https://gist.github.com/purplelive/f9ddc50a5ca6cd2ec7a87272c3328697 can anyone help with this problem? | 09:24 |
| Ben64 | supay: run the command i gave | 09:24 |
| supay | Ben64: thank god. i didn't want to: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25792345/ | 09:25 |
| Ben64 | looks like you found a problem with vlc | 09:26 |
| supay | Ben64: no, you did. i have no clue what these commands are doing | 09:27 |
| supay | so i can't get vlc? :( | 09:27 |
| supay | any other media player you guys suggest for ubuntu? | 09:27 |
| Ben64 | mplayer2 / mpv | 09:27 |
| supay | alright. cool | 09:28 |
| Ben64 | i'd recommend those over vlc anyway | 09:28 |
| supay | whoa, really? | 09:28 |
| Ben64 | yeah mplayer2 and mpv are both really great (and based on the same source code) | 09:29 |
| Ben64 | also mplayer but idk if that's really been updated much | 09:29 |
| supay | alright. awesome | 09:31 |
| supay | and maybe you can report the bug to vlc and get a bounty! :D | 09:31 |
| supay | in BITCOINS | 09:31 |
| Ben64 | well it would be more of a packaging error | 09:31 |
| Ben64 | so not vlc's fault | 09:31 |

| hellrazor | good god i have packages spooking around from saucy... | 09:46 |
| hellrazor | omg wheezy packages | 09:48 |
| cfhowlett | what the heck did you do to your sources?? | 09:49 |
| hellrazor | how more back in time can i go, seriously | 09:49 |
| hellrazor | cfhowlett: well this system has had a few release upgrades behind it | 09:49 |
| hellrazor | itsmostly old stuff leftover unused so far | 09:49 |
| cfhowlett | understood but it should not be retaining old sources as that *will* break things | 09:49 |
| hellrazor | cfhowlett: thats clear, i just found one package installed from wheezy | 09:50 |
| cfhowlett | :) | 09:50 |
| hellrazor | no clue how that survivied | 09:50 |
| hellrazor | cfhowlett: its a shame that you actually loose your own package selection when doing a release upgrade | 09:52 |
| hellrazor | rolling release would be sooo much better | 09:52 |
| hellrazor | also this now makes total sense that i am having strange feect on some programmes | 09:54 |

| MonkeyDust | FMan let's hear it, in one line | 10:15 |
| FMan | I installed git and git-man provides the manual page, but then there is a suggested package git-doc, which "provides the documentation" - wat? is it an info page or sth? | 10:15 |
| alexas | how to restore to default all of the network settings and protocols? | 10:16 |
| Ginn | hey guys, whats up? | 10:16 |
| Ginn | can I ask a question please? | 10:16 |
| alexas | Ginn: I suggest you ask and don't ask to ask. | 10:18 |
| Ginn | thanks alexas | 10:18 |
| Ginn | i didn't know if I was allow to | 10:18 |
| Ginn | so, I'm customizing Ubuntu for school, it's a project. | 10:19 |
| Ginn | I wanted to make my start menu organized | 10:19 |
| Ginn | like this: http://cdn.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/zorinos_startmenu.jpg?x97327 | 10:20 |
| Ginn | is that possible on Unity - Ubuntu? | 10:20 |
| Ginn | 16 LTS. | 10:20 |
| gepan | who has alternatives tools? | 10:21 |
| Thunder_Tw | Ginn: technically it's possible to change the menu like that. practically it looks like KDE | 10:23 |
| Ginn | and how? | 10:23 |
| gepan | Raspberry pie does not have this tool | 10:23 |
| Ginn | i didn't want swap to KDE | 10:23 |

| ddoobb | Why is LibreOffice still at 5.2 in the repos while on their website it says 5.4 (I have 5.4 on Windows as well). How can I download latest version? | 10:38 |
| MonkeyDust | ddoobb for anything outside the repos, you need a .deb or a ppa or so, but that's not supported here | 10:38 |
| MonkeyDust | ddoobb as for the 'why' question : #ubuntu-offtopic | 10:39 |
| daedeloth | good ol' x11 seems to work like a charm :) | 10:39 |
| akik | gepan: update-alternatives is provided by dpkg | 10:39 |
| ddoobb | So is LibreOffice out of date on linux because of their devs? | 10:39 |
| daedeloth | oh, no, lauched too soon. x11 has same problems | 10:39 |
| gepan | akik:this tool does not exist either | 10:43 |

| akik | gepan: these are command line tools | 10:54 |
| xtron | does my software version depends on ubuntu version or <sudo apt-get upgrad>??? | 10:56 |
| akik | xtron: i don't understand what you're asking about | 10:56 |
| alexas | what is the main difference between Ubuntu 16 and 17? | 10:58 |
| xtron | akik: i'm using ubuntu 12 lts, so my packages are tied with that version of ubuntu or I can fetch the latest version when I do <sudo ... upgrade>?? | 10:58 |
| akik | xtron: ubuntu 12.04 has its versions of packages and 14.04 has its versions of packages | 10:59 |
| akik | who was it that decided that ubuntu versions are referred to with only 12, 14, 16, 17 | 10:59 |
| Nede | xtron sudo apt-get install update-manager-core && sudo do-release-upgrade | 10:59 |
| brainwash | !12.04 | 10:59 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) was the sixteenth release of Ubuntu. !End-of-life was April 28th 2017. See https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-security-announce/2017-April/003833.html for more information | 10:59 |

| xtron | Nede: akik isn't ubuntu repos are same for all versions of ubuntu | 11:01 |
| akik | xtron: repository servers are the same, the package versions differ | 11:02 |
| sim642 | My laptop suddently gets "Destination not reachable" on my home wifi (associated) which works on my desktop. I don't understand why | 11:02 |
| Nede | xtron: one example for repo is: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial main restricted universe multiverse | 11:03 |
| Nede | xtron: this is for 16.04 LTS | 11:03 |
| sim642 | It worked for a few seconds after restart, firefox loaded some sites, but then fails again | 11:03 |
| xtron | Nede: so this is restricted for a specific version? | 11:03 |
| Nede | xtron: yes, note the code name xenial=16.04 | 11:04 |
| Nede | xtron: your 12.04 is precise | 11:04 |
| tomreyn | xtron: the important meassage you should not ignore is that your system (originally released in 2012) is now unsupported because it wasn't upgraded in time. | 11:04 |
| Nede | xtron: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases | 11:05 |
| xtron | Nede: what if I want to update my repos to the latest available ubuntu, or this is question doesn't make sense? | 11:05 |
| Nede | xtron: sudo apt-get install update-manager-core && sudo do-release-upgrade | 11:05 |
| Thunder_Tw | thats a big command | 11:06 |
| tomreyn | !eolupgrade | 11:06 |
| ubottu | End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 11:06 |
| tomreyn | xtron: ^ | 11:06 |
| xtron | Nede: but the <sudo release-up..> will update my ubuntu, right? | 11:06 |
| Nede | xtron: yes. 12.04 to 14.04 | 11:07 |
| tomreyn | Nede: it may not work out this easily | 11:07 |
| xtron | tomreyn: actually I'm not worried about EOF and security unless a lightweight linux keep this hardware alive... <old core i3 2nd gen> | 11:07 |
| tomreyn | Nede: 12.04 sources are now on old-releases, he may have outdated versions within 12.04 already. | 11:08 |
| tomreyn | (such as of the do-release-upgrade utility) | 11:08 |
| Nede | tomreyn: yes.......your right! | 11:09 |
| Nede | xtron: otherwise save your data and install a new clean version | 11:09 |
| Nede | 12.04 is very very old release... | 11:09 |
| xtron | tomreyn: i'm not getting you guys, I think for Ubuntu 12.04 lts my packages are up to date | 11:10 |
| xtron | I think this is quit light OS for older hardware rather than 16.x which heats-up this machine | 11:11 |
| tomreyn | xtron: 12.04 stopped being up to date in march. and you probably do not even have pakcages from back then and won't get them unless you upgrade. again, your release is unsupported. upgrade as discussed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades or reinstall. after that, you can get support here again. | 11:11 |
| Ginn | ok guys | 11:12 |
| Ginn | i installed ClassicMenu | 11:12 |
| tomreyn | xtron: (you can also get support here with upgrading as discusse don the wiki but not anything else for 12.04) | 11:12 |
| Ginn | any possible way to change Unity to ClassicMenu | 11:12 |
| tomreyn | Ginn: unity comes with the dash. you can add a menu by installing classicmenu-indicator or you can switch to a different desktop environment. | 11:14 |
| Ginn | what do you recommend tomreyn? | 11:15 |
| Ginn | MATE? | 11:15 |
| tomreyn | Ginn: i recommend you try a couple different desktop environments and pick the one you like best. | 11:15 |
| === eb0t_ is now known as eb0t | ||
| kostkon | xtron, you need to upgrade to a supported release | 11:16 |
| tomreyn | !desktops | Ginn | 11:16 |
| ubottu | Ginn: A desktop environment is what "puts the pieces of a !GUI together". The available desktop environments in Ubuntu are !GNOME (ubuntu-desktop), !KDE (kubuntu-desktop), !Xfce (xubuntu-desktop), !LXDE (lubuntu-desktop), IceWM, !Fluxbox, WindowMaker (wmaker), FVWM and others - See also !Flavors | 11:16 |
| tomreyn | !flavors | Ginn | 11:16 |
| ubottu | Ginn: Recognized Ubuntu flavors build on Ubuntu and provide a different user experience out of the box. They are supported both in #ubuntu and in their flavor channel. For a list, see https://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu-flavours | 11:16 |
| Thunder_Tw | Ginn, i would recomend Mate for what you are attempting | 11:17 |
| tomreyn | Ginn: you can switch between any desktop environments you have installed by selecting them on the login screen | 11:17 |
| Ginn | I installed GNOME | 11:20 |
| Ginn | It makes the job done | 11:20 |

| moukoublen | Hi all. I have a question. Why do we have gedit 3.22.1 and gnome-terminal 3.24 in 17.10? Since we have pure gnome 3.26 in 17.10 now why ubuntu still keeps these two in separated version? Why this "brake" in gnome version ing? | 11:46 |
| brainwash | moukoublen: bug 1721412 | 11:56 |

| moukoublen | Thanks :). | 12:02 |

| yengas | hello guys. im trying to install lubuntu to my friends laptop. it always hangs when installing the grub loader. i tried creating partitions manually(gpt table, efi/fs/swap partitions) and auto installing. both hanged when installing grub loader. i also tried installing grub manually with live cd after the hang. but it hanged with livecd aswell. | 12:43 |
| yengas | https://image.ibb.co/cdEGMR/IMG_20171022_150100.jpg here is a picture. bios doesnt have legacy boot, its uefi and the secure boot is disabled. why the hack does it hang? | 12:44 |
| ioria | yengas, what version of lubuntu ? | 12:45 |
| yengas | 16.04.3 | 12:45 |
| ioria | yengas, are you connected while installing ? | 12:45 |
| yengas | ioria, yes i am both when doing the install with live cd, and with the installer. updates are disabled. | 12:46 |
| ioria | yengas, you can boot in 'try' mode and paste sudo parted -l | 12:47 |
| ioria | yengas, or you can run sudo ubiquity --no-bootloader and install grub after | 12:48 |
| yengas | you can see the partition in the image i sent. after the hang, i restarted and started the pc with livecd. followed some instructions to install grub-efi manually and it hang at the terminal aswell. | 12:49 |

| bizolos | Sorry ikonia | 16:07 |
| jac76 | The environment that the Live-CD loads also sees the display device as "UNCLAIMED" and uses the "default" display in VGA mode. However, that VGA mode supports about 10 different display resolutions while the "installed" VGA default resolution is limited to 640x480 only. | 16:07 |
| bizolos | It was not said in an agressive way | 16:07 |

| ioria | jac76, if it's a fresh install i'd try to install it, and configure xorg.conf ( i mean set resolution) | 16:12 |

| jac76 | ioria, putting those four lines into the xorg.conf file did the trick. Now I have the correct resolution and the output of a "xrandr -q" command in the "installed" environment is the same as in the Live-CD environment. I have been busily reading the "DEVICE SECTION" of the man page on xorg.conf but nothing specifically about the 4 lines you provided is shown.

| ioria | jac76, what you mean exactly with 'query the xorg environment settings' ? | 17:27 |
| jac76 | Something like the xrandr commands or the lshw command where I can query information about the parameters that are currently set. | 17:28 |

| hsiktas | while updating 17.04 to 17.10 I got "dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/bash_4.4-5ubuntu1_amd64.deb (--unpack):" | 18:18 |

| jac76 | Jordy, Although it won't make a difference on burning a CD/DVD I made a mistake when creating a bootable thumb drive for lubuntu. I found an old thumb drive and to "clean/refresh" it I deleted the NTFS filesystem from it and created a FAT32 partition, as per instructions. After it was formatted I used UNetbootin to "burn" the drive but when I tried to use it, it wouldn't boot! | 18:19 |
| jac76 | So I downloaded the .iso again and checksummed it and "burned" to the thumb drive again and again it wouldn't boot. | 18:20 |
| jac76 | It turned out that I forgot a very important thing when I used gparted to partition the drive, to set the "boot" flag on that partition. | 18:21 |

| galileopy | Hello everyone, I'd like to know what should I know in order to debug an hdmi of an nvidia 960m port that seems to be broken. | 18:29 |
| galileopy | The port doesn't work in either linux or windows, but I still have hope since changin my laptop right now is not a viable option. | 18:29 |
| galileopy | I've read that the main tools that I'd need to understand are udev, modprobe and the nvidia drivers, also reading the info in /sys/class/drm/card0 | 18:29 |
| galileopy | should be usefull. | 18:29 |
| galileopy | What steps can I take in order to be certain that it is a hardware issue and not just some soft change made to the drivers? | 18:29 |
| ikonia | toni_: stop with the language please | 18:29 |
| galileopy | sorry, I wrote it on mousepad, didn't know that it would break the message on linebreaks | 18:29 |
| ikonia | galileopy: if it's not working in linux or windows, I'd be questioning if it's actually working | 18:30 |
| ikonia | galileopy: I'd also try to get it working with Windows first to confirm its working as the Linux drivers are better supported at a compatability level | 18:30 |
| ikonia | (or easier to be supported I think is a better description) | 18:31 |
| galileopy | However linux let's me read events and query more info from the board than windows | 18:31 |
| Bashing-om | !sound | galileopy | 18:31 |
| ubottu | galileopy: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 18:31 |
| galileopy | It stopped working without any significant event's happening, and I suspect that somehow the port got disabled by linux, since the likelihood of it just break out of thin are seem small | 18:32 |
| galileopy | s/are/air | 18:33 |
| galileopy | it doesn't show the hdmi output devices | 18:34 |
| TJ- | galileopy: the only way a port might be enabled is due to a bug in the motherboard's firmware ACPI | 18:34 |
| TJ- | galileopy: but if the port isn't working on a versions of Windows designed for that PC then that suggests a physical fault, such as solder fracturing | 18:35 |
| galileopy | ok,that makes sense, I while trying to fix it I upgraded the firmware of the mother board, and since then udev doesn't tell me anything when I plug/unplug a monitor to the port | 18:36 |
| TJ- | galileopy: has the connector been stressed by an HDMI plug being manipulated too roughly? | 18:36 |
| galileopy | It haven't I have it mounted on a desk and it lives there unbothered | 18:36 |
| TJ- | galileopy: One hope for you: 2 days ago a user with a similar problem found that an ACPI workaround made the HDMI port appear - but in that case Windows could see the port but Linux couldn't. You could try the same workaround/fix | 18:37 |
| galileopy | I did consider a solder fracture, do you think I should open it and check the port and card with a microscope? | 18:37 |
| galileopy | Do you have a link TJ-? | 18:37 |
| TJ- | galileopy: read, and if you want to, apply the changes: http://iam.tj/prototype/enhancements/Windows-acpi_osi.html | 18:37 |

| galileopy | I did once changed my boot parameters to acpi_osi=!, you seem to be well versed with acpi, what does acpi_osi=! do? | 18:41 |
| TJ- | galileopy: it disables all the strings that Linux passes to the SCPI DSDT _OSI() | 18:42 |

| galileopy | the backlash there is something I haven't seen before | 18:50 |
| littlejohnny | Fludixx- | 18:50 |
| galileopy | shouldn't it be acpi_osi=\"Windows 2015\"? | 18:51 |
| TJ- | galileopy: that looks correct | 18:52 |
| TJ- | galileopy: that's to escape the following " so that the double-quote is actually inserted into the command line in /etc/grub/grub.cfg | 18:52 |
| TJ- | galileopy: it's needed due to the space in the "windows 2015" string, because command-line args are space-separate | 18:53 |
| === KindTwo is now known as KindOne | ||
| galileopy | I understand why it is needed, I just worry that the whole parameter is being escaped, \"acpi_osi=Windows 2015\" vs acpi_osi=\"Windows 2015\" | 18:54 |

| TJ- | akik: you can but especially when working with unprivileged containers the default root inside it is the one we use | 21:33 |
| doug16k | now I am getting a bunch of random "starting user manager for UID <various numbers> / Stopped user manager for <same number>" - followed by systemd-resolved-update-resolveconf.service hang | 21:33 |
| kostkon | darkad, so you are saying that Ubuntu minimal booted fine and gave you a terminal prompt? | 21:35 |
| doug16k | ...and now it boots. about 3/4 chance for it to hang on boot at systemd-resolved-update-resolveconf.service :( | 21:35 |
| ghost__ | reboot script class | 21:36 |
| darkad | kostkon, I'm trying 'to install' the Ubuntu Minimal but it didn't boot | 21:36 |
| Bashing-om | `mist: Hummm .. OK .. run ' sudo dpkg -P linux-image-extra-3.13.0-{74,85,86,87,91}-generic " . | 21:36 |
| kostkon | darkad, ok | 21:37 |
| akik | doug16k: that is a real service name? :o | 21:37 |
| `mist | that did not go well at all Bashing-om | 21:37 |
| `mist | https://thepasteb.in/p/LghNnxMBgQxUZ | 21:38 |
| Bashing-om | `mist: Well ! .. Ok .. show me what happened :) | 21:38 |
| `mist | see thepasteb.in link above | 21:39 |
| doug16k | akik that's what the boot log is telling me, [ OK ] followed by that. it says that just before it stops. it isn't froze though, keystrokes put crap on the screen and ctrl-alt-del-del-del will make it reboot, alt-sysrq-s-u-b works too | 21:39 |
| kostkon | darkad, if it's 17.10, you could try with 16.04, a bit older and still supported | 21:39 |
| darkad | kostkon, are you sure ? | 21:41 |
| kostkon | darkad, I'm sure, why? | 21:41 |
| Bashing-om | `mist: Well , that is totally unexpected . // now how did you install the 4.4.0-97 jernel .. as I consider what we are to do . | 21:42 |
| Bashing-om | kernel* | 21:42 |
| darkad | kostkon, are you sure that 16.04 is supported on pentium 4 and 17.10 not? | 21:42 |
| kostkon | darkad, I mean it's supported with updates. But it's a bit older, so it might boot | 21:43 |
| doug16k | akik, it's there in /lib/systemd/system | 21:43 |
| `mist | Bashing-om: i'm doing a release upgrade | 21:43 |
| darkad | kostkon, thanks for your time anyway | 21:44 |
| kostkon | darkad, np | 21:44 |
| akik | doug16k: sorry i haven't installed 17.10 yet. was just curious | 21:44 |

| Bashing-om | `mist: And did it the release upgrade complete ? what shows for the sources ' cat -n /etc/apt/sources.list ' . | 21:46 |
| `mist | no it failed Bashing-om | 21:47 |
| `mist | /paste.ubuntu.com/25797424/ | 21:48 |
| Bashing-om | `mist: Oh my :( show me the sources list file . see what we can do . | 21:48 |
| adrian_1908 | It seems that CPU frequency scaling no longer happens on my system, this must be after I switched from 16.10 to 17.10, I hadn't even noticed until yesterday. Did anyone else report anything? Afaik I didn't have to do anything before, it worked out of the box. Sandybridge-E processor. | 21:49 |
| `mist | http://paste.ubuntu.com/25797433/ | 21:49 |
| `mist | this is what do-release-upgrade says http://paste.ubuntu.com/25797446/ | 21:51 |
| Bashing-om | `mist: Yeah . Good news is that you are pulling from the xenial repo . and we knew [your: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25797151/] we have a problem with the meta packaging " iU linux-generic " . where we want that leading iU to be ii in all instances . | 21:55 |
| `mist | Sooo is he going to survive doctor? =x | 21:57 |
| TJ- | Bashing-om: `mist ... I think the key is to solve "Can't open /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf" since that is what is causing dpkg to fail when running the postint script | 21:58 |
| `mist | ah | 22:01 |
| Bashing-om | `mist: TJ- :)) -- Let's try this and see what the package manager will do for us now : ' sudo apt autoclean ; sudo apt autoremove ; sudo apt clean ; sudo apt update ; sudo apt full-upgrade ; sudo apt -f install ; sudo dpkg --configure -a ; sudo dpkg -C ' . see where we go from here . See what then happens with " /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf" . | 22:01 |
| TJ- | Bashing-om: if the release-upgrade failed with the initramfs-tools package then /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf may have been in the middle of a rename move. Check for that with "ls -al /etc/initramfs-tools/" | 22:02 |
| Bashing-om | TJ-: `mist ^^ will as I have it up on my 16.04 install to compare . | 22:03 |
| === tpimtts is now known as Guest69069 | ||

| `mist | ls: cannot access '/etc/initramfs-tools/': No such file or directory | 22:05 |
| Bashing-om | `mist: Then TJ- is so wise !! .. we got to find a way to fix that script . | 22:06 |
| Bashing-om | `mist: ^^ a fact try as ' ls -al /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf ' . | 22:08 |
| `mist | no such file | 22:10 |
| TJ- | Bashing-om: `mist so the directory is missing!?! | 22:11 |

| Bashing-om | TJ-: `mist If that file is missing . what else is hosed up ??.. Is it worth the time and effort to try and fix this install ? | 22:13 |
| `mist | well one of them is my plex server.... i guess i can back up the db and stuff | 22:14 |

| oerheks | ttf-mscorefonts-installer is part of ubuntu-restricted-extras | 22:21 |
| aolim | oh sorry zesty tgm4883 | 22:22 |
| erva | so your advice guys | 22:22 |
| erva | that i should not accept the terms | 22:22 |
| Bashing-om | erva: If you do not accept the terms , fine .. then will not install . | 22:23 |
| erva | bashing-om should i accept the terms ? | 22:23 |
| dax | erva: #ubuntu does not provide legal advice. If you are concerned about the licensing of non-free software that you want to use, please consult a qualified professional. | 22:24 |
| Bashing-om | erva: If you want the fonts; then there is no other option . | 22:24 |
| erva | is it legal to download it ?? this is my question | 22:25 |
| tgm4883 | erva: we are not lawyers... | 22:25 |
| tgm4883 | erva: even if we were, surely we wouldn't know the laws in whatever jurisdiction you happen to be in | 22:26 |
| erva | i live in germany it's really hard to know | 22:26 |
| jerichowasahoax | erva: you're fine | 22:26 |
| oerheks | for personal use, you are fine | 22:27 |
| erva | i want to install exe apps | 22:27 |
| jerichowasahoax | for being in the european union in general, you're fine | 22:27 |
| Sveta` | erva: as an alternative, you could use #law or #gnu or the fsf has a licencing compliance team (but the fsf's one is only for free software licences, not for proprietary stuff) | 22:27 |
| Sveta` | erva: ubuntu allows you to install exe apps using wine, but we are not familiar with their eula. reading the terms of use and licence agreements is up to you | 22:27 |
| erva | i did it with wine | 22:28 |
| Sveta` | erva: you need to read the terms and consider whether (a) your usage would be fit for them and (b) whether you find these terms ethical. often they are not ethical. some people consider proprietary software to be non-ethical either | 22:28 |
| Sveta` | erva: does it work? | 22:29 |
| tgm4883 | personally I'd just use a native text editor... | 22:29 |
| erva | yes it works | 22:29 |
| Sveta` | notepad++ is foss, its eula should be ok | 22:29 |
| oerheks | !ide | 22:29 |
| ubottu | Programming editors/suites: Terminal-based: vi/vim, emacs - KDE: Kate, KDevelop, Quanta+, Umbrello - GNOME: gvim, gedit, anjuta, pida, monodevelop, geany - Others: eclipse, netbeans, qtcreator | 22:29 |
| tgm4883 | Sveta`: I don't believe that was ever the question | 22:30 |
| erva | but the next step is accepting the terms | 22:30 |
| Sveta` | tgm4883: well he/she was installing notepad++ with wine and asked 'should i accept the terms', and i suspect its terms of use are harmless so.. | 22:30 |
| oerheks | press space | 22:30 |
| Sveta` | erva: read them and make a decision, it's legally binding in some circumstances | 22:31 |
| tgm4883 | Sveta`: the question regarding the terms was for ttf-mscorefonts-installer, not notepad++ | 22:31 |
| Sveta` | erva: then ask a next question | 22:31 |
| cerveira | TJ-, it was windows related. I opened 445 in firewall and now it's working. Tks | 22:31 |
| Sveta` | tgm4883: oh ok | 22:31 |
| Sveta` | i would not recommend to use mscorefonts :) | 22:31 |
| TJ- | cerveira: makes sense | 22:31 |
| oerheks | space, or [tab] | 22:31 |
| Sveta` | apart from that, just make a choice yourself | 22:31 |

| `mist | hmkay | 22:39 |
| TJ- | `mist: see if the package is in the archive: "ls /var/cache/apt/archives/initramfs-tools*" | 22:39 |
| `mist | there is no archives folder | 22:40 |
| TJ- | `mist: are you sure you're looking into the correct rootfs? all these missing bits suggests either you're looking in the wrong file-system, or it's damaged beyond repair | 22:41 |

| `mist | my bad TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/25797744/ | 22:42 |
| TJ- | `mist: empty! oh crikey, did you do that "apt clean" Bashing-om suggested? that'll have wiped it out | 22:42 |

| `mist | =( | 22:43 |
| TJ- | `mist: are you using a liveISO to work with it right now? | 22:44 |

| Bashing-om | TJ-: `mist : initramfs-tools-core: ?? | 22:44 |
| TJ- | `mist: oh, so it booted so far? | 22:44 |
| `mist | nono, it completely died | 22:44 |
| `mist | like i said, i had to revert | 22:44 |
| `mist | (but not far back enough to be able to save the machine from the current state) | 22:45 |
| TJ- | `mist: so right now what are we looking at? the snapshot mounted in the original 14.04 system image? | 22:45 |
| `mist | Sorry for being confusing. It's a vmware snapshot | 22:45 |
| `mist | so basically i just reverted the memory state to pre-reboot | 22:46 |
| `mist | We're in the machine at the moment | 22:46 |
| TJ- | `mist: I'm confused. What host is running vmware? | 22:46 |
| `mist | esxi is running the vm | 22:47 |
| `mist | metal -> esxi -> ubuntuvm | 22:47 |
| TJ- | `mist: ok, so if ubuntuvm won't boot how are you currently exploring its file-system? | 22:47 |
| TJ- | `mist: i'm trying to determine what tools you'll have available in order to do a recovery | 22:48 |
| `mist | So what happened was i did do-release-upgrade, it failed, we did a bunch of commands. I then took a snapshot of the machine. | 22:48 |
| `mist | I then rebooted the machine and it didn't work | 22:49 |
| `mist | So i reverted to the snapshot to pre-reboot | 22:49 |
| `mist | so you can completely disregard the reboot | 22:49 |
| `mist | it's as if we went back in time | 22:49 |
| TJ- | `mist: right, so the VM itself is running right now ? | 22:50 |
| `mist | yes | 22:50 |
| TJ- | `mist: right, that's what didn't make sense when you said it wouldn't boot. So, let's see if fetching/installing a couple of packages manually will get out of the bind. | 22:50 |

| TJ- | `mist: if that works we then know that the packaging system is getting back to normal, which means there's a chance to complete the upgrade | 23:08 |
| `mist | complaining about alot of things that are not there | 23:08 |
| TJ- | `mist: show us a pastebin | 23:08 |
| Sveta` | Geo: are you using docker? or you're using ubuntu as a desktop | 23:09 |
| `mist | it's still going https://thepasteb.in/p/1jhnNyvMy55HB | 23:09 |
| Geo | docker | 23:09 |
| `mist | but it's repeating that stuff for each kernel it seems | 23:09 |
| TJ- | `mist: that's OK --- if the kernels were already partially removed then those are expected | 23:10 |
| `mist | well it seems to have ended well | 23:11 |

| anon000 | hi! is it possible to boot up if your file hierarchy is not in the disk root but in a subdirectory on the disk? | 23:11 |
| Sveta` | Geo: I'm out of ideas, if you re-ask the whole question including details (usage of docker, full pastebin of the error message and your sources.list) someone may be able to propose a solution | 23:11 |
| Geo | no worries, the 'it looks like it should work' is enough for the moment | 23:12 |
| Geo | I've done this 100 times the exact same way, so I don't think its me | 23:12 |
| Geo | I know the maintainer of that image, maybe they changed something. I'll ask him when he's around tomorrow | 23:12 |
| TJ- | `mist: OK, let's see if you can get back on-track: "apt full-upgrade" | 23:13 |
| Geo | thanks for the sanity check though | 23:13 |
| TJ- | `mist: if things are missing I'm expecting it'll suggest installing a LOT of packages | 23:13 |
| `mist | nothing is missing | 23:13 |
| `mist | 0 0 0 0 0 | 23:13 |
| Bashing-om | `mist: Looks promising .. show now a new ' dpkg -l | grep linux- ' . | 23:13 |
| `mist | 0 upped, installed, remove and not upgraded | 23:13 |
| Geo | well, debian does the same thing | 23:14 |
| Geo | so maybe it *is* me | 23:14 |
| Geo | meh | 23:14 |
| `mist | http://paste.ubuntu.com/25797926/ | 23:14 |
| Sveta` | Geo: please ping me and share the solution in here when you find it, I;d really like to know! | 23:14 |
| TJ- | `mist: "update-grub" | 23:14 |
| `mist | done | 23:14 |
| TJ- | `mist: oh, that's already been triggered by the apt earlier! | 23:14 |
| `mist | brb toilet | 23:15 |
| TJ- | `mist: right, so in *theory* it might be in a bootable state | 23:15 |
| Geo | sure | 23:15 |
| TJ- | Geo: is there a transparent caching proxy in between your systems and the archive servers? | 23:17 |
| TJ- | Geo: your own, or your ISP? | 23:17 |
| Bashing-om | `mist: TJ- : See what grub has set ' ls -al /vmlinuz* /initrd.img* ' . | 23:17 |
| Geo | TJ-: this box is in a datacenter, so i don't know | 23:17 |
| TJ- | Bashing-om: the pastebin shows that https://thepasteb.in/p/vghOzmMEK9Bi3 | 23:17 |
| Geo | but I would bet yes- they have all kinds of crazy stuff that makes my life miserable | 23:17 |
| TJ- | Geo: does debian have https for its archives? if so, try changing to those from http | 23:18 |
| Geo | apt on the host machine works fine | 23:18 |
| TJ- | Geo: I know Ubuntu doesn't unfortunately, or didn't last time I checked | 23:18 |
| TJ- | Geo: some local cache then? apt-cacher-ng or squid-deb-proxy maybe? | 23:19 |
| Geo | I'll ask the folks, i don't know myself | 23:19 |
| `mist | TJ-: it's pointing to 4.4 files | 23:19 |

| `mist | lets do it! | 23:20 |
| erialdo | hello | 23:22 |
| `mist | omg it's alive!!!! | 23:23 |
| erialdo | how can i split the screen in four | 23:23 |
| erialdo | i have ubuntu mate | 23:23 |
| zamanf | is it possible to block the internet access for a specific application? | 23:23 |
| TJ- | `mist: sounds like time to party then :) | 23:23 |
| erialdo | is there any way to split in four without the need of external apps | 23:23 |
| `mist | ermahgurd | 23:23 |
| `mist | i thought the vm was lost =) | 23:23 |
| Bashing-om | `mist: \o/ ! .. Rinse and repeat on machine 2 ?? | 23:24 |
| TJ- | zamanf: it is, if you know it's process ID. the kernel firewall (controlled by the iptables application) can set rules based on process ID, but not name, so each time the application starts you'd have to re-write the rule. You could use a wrapper shell-script for that | 23:24 |
| `mist | i was doing the same thing on both machines ^^ | 23:24 |
| `mist | both are alive | 23:25 |
| TJ- | `mist: something was wrong then for them both to break the same way | 23:25 |
| erialdo | @zmamanf i think there are external apps like douane | 23:25 |
| zamanf | ok, I am going to google what you said | 23:25 |
| zamanf | ty | 23:25 |
| `mist | TJ-: i assume i did the same mistake on both of them | 23:26 |
| erialdo | I need to split the screen in four in ubuntu mate | 23:26 |
| `mist | because i was able to save another 3 machines myself | 23:26 |
| erialdo | I can with two (ctrl + alt + 4 and 6) | 23:26 |
| erialdo | but not with four | 23:26 |
| erialdo | any idea? | 23:26 |
| `mist | thank you very much Bashing-om and TJ | 23:28 |
| TJ- | `mist: give them a through check-over :) | 23:28 |
| Bashing-om | `mist: TJ- gets the cookies on this one . :) | 23:28 |
| `mist | ^^ | 23:28 |
| * TJ- hasn't even yet... I'm off to the kitchen for cookies for real. | 23:29 | |
| `mist | i've disabled automatic updates and will be managing everything through salt stack from here on | 23:29 |
| `mist | thats mainly the reason why i upgraded them. So i would only need one repo | 23:29 |
| erialdo | sorry if I come as spammy but does anybody know to split the screen in four in ubuntu mate | 23:35 |
| erialdo | if it is possible | 23:35 |

| kusfedora | hi guys, in general if I apt install docker.io in artful without adding any third party repository, can I assume I will get security updates from Ubuntu for docker.io as well? | 23:43 |
| compdoc | for that version | 23:47 |
| kusfedora | yeah, don't need the latest (: | 23:49 |
