[00:02] is dmesg logs saved in a file? where is the file? [00:04] amflir: by default, no, i do't think so [00:04] Isn't it in /var/log/ ? [00:04] CoJaBo, I expected it in /var/log/messages but there is no such file [00:05] amflir: CoJaBo: it's the kernel ring buffer, so it's in memory at all times (by default). If you set up syslog for it, there might be a file [00:05] nacc, what do you mean by setting up a syslog? how can I do that? [00:06] /var/log/kern.log ? [00:06] amflir, grep its output or redirect it to a file. or use journalctl instead [00:07] im trying to compile squid source but it throws error squid-common missing files: usr/share/squid/mime.conf [00:07] the file is there [00:07] !compile | lunagirl [00:07] lunagirl: Compiling software from source?

Also read !checkinstall [00:07] lunagirl: why are you building squid from source?

[00:14] at least the squid nightly has it disabled [00:15] lunagirl: you just said you are building yourself because that flag is not set.

I understand that most settings and themes are in /home/. what about the rest? [03:31] some packages have settings in /etc/ [03:31] you may want to back that one up before you reinstall [03:33] Sveta, what you're saying is, if i copy /etc/ from my current OS to a fresh install, it will work fine? there arent any unique info or settings that only relate to my current os? [03:34] i don;t know how to restore it properly, i'd personally just have a copy and restore only if a program doesn't behave as expected [03:34] got it [03:45] is it possible to mount ubuntu-14/15 encrypted ext-4 drives on ubuntu 12? [03:45] reason i asked .. is i tried and it didn't work [03:45] maybe download latest version and boot off usb? [03:46] crazyhorse: i don't think you can, because of older software.

[04:09] capella: Thank you, I will take a look. [04:16] I'm ssh-ed into an Ubuntu box, and ran elinks to get to a wordpress site. I'm in the username field, and as soon as I start typing, I'm asked if I want to quit elinks. Any idea what's going wrong? [04:17] I have a question that is not directly related to Ubuntu. It is about PGP keys, but I'm not sure where to ask it. Is it possible to add an APT trusted key from a remote keyserver (like keyserver.ubuntu.com) without adding it to my local keyring? [04:17] Nevermind -- I see now something at the bottom that I have to hit enter first, before typing. Duh... [04:18] I've tried the following, but it adds it to my local user keyring: apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys KEY [04:20] I just found the #gnupg channel. So I am going to ask there as well. [04:21] when installing from terminal do i have to type y to continue, or can i just hit enter? is there a difference? [04:23] EndlessMacro: When installing you'll be prompted with "Do you want to continue? [Y/n]", that [Y/n] part means that if you just press enter, it will default to "y" or yes. The capital "Y" tells you that's the default. Sometimes, you'll get a prompt like "Do you want to continue? [y/N]". That would mean that if you pressed enter it would default to "n", or no. [04:24] Jordan_U, thanks! thats good to know. [04:24] i have a question about linux [04:25] why the hell they always use the crappy color selection bar of few colors? [04:25] ? [04:25] Prest0o, where exactly? [04:25] Prest0o: what do you mean ? [04:26] let me show a picture [04:26] whats the standar "paint" alternative used on linux? [04:26] a simple draw program [04:26] gimp lol [04:26] no thats the pro one [04:26] i mean a shit one [04:26] lol gimp is not pro [04:26] gimp is the photoshop wanabee [04:27] ok [04:27] so a shitter one [04:27] Prest0o: kirita, kolorpaint. [04:27] s/kirita/krita/ [04:27] you want one that's more lightweight [04:27] Prest0o: mind your language, please [04:27] Prest0o: Those are un necessary words [04:27] sorry [04:28] i dont find what i look for [04:28] inkscape is good, its not so called simple but has alot of flexability [04:28] lubuntu as one by default [04:28] inkscape was my next example [04:28] https://i.imgur.com/GOY0ywL.png [04:28] look inkscape color selection bar [04:28] this is so ugly, why not a real color palete ? there are very few colors there [04:29] lubuntu as a default "paint" alternative that has same thing [04:29] so ugly and limited [04:29] xpaint [04:29] Prest0o: I can help you use the other color secting options in inkscape, but "Why is that not the default" is not really a support question (and is offtopic for this channel). [04:30] mtpaint: http://mtpaint.sourceforge.net/img/shot01.png [04:30] No one is stopping you from switching you to windows / osx. In the mean time, try to get support from relevant devs. [04:30] thats by default at lubuntu [04:30] try PINTA [04:30] another ugly color palete bar [04:30] its like if opensource can't be good... [04:30] pinta [04:30] lets see [04:31] pinta looks a bit better clearly [04:31] Gnome Paint [04:31] pretty acceptable pinta [04:31] gnome paint, lets see [04:32] pinta uses layers? [04:32] yes i see them [04:32] KolourPaint [04:32] Gnome Paint, where is the full color palete? is that available? looks missing by the screenshosts [04:33] KolourPaint, this looks very bad xD [04:33] just use pinta. it's better than paint [04:34] yes [04:34] pinta in probably the single one that looks programed by a brain [04:35] there is something crazy on linux that repeats always [04:35] streteched vertically boxes [04:36] Prest0o: Please stick to support questions in this channel. If you'd like to discuss what you do/don't like about certain apps feel free to do so in #ubuntu-offtopic. [04:36] Jordan_U ok sorry [04:36] since no one talks [04:36] and we talk on linux [04:36] i just felt free to talk about a linux program [04:36] Prest0o: There is a difference between constructive criticism and dissing [04:37] Prest0o, then you trigger the topic nazi lol [04:43] i think everyting wrong done, is wrong, i must be a narcicist [04:44] https://i.imgur.com/p7WpttY.png [04:44] I figured it out. Just have to add the "--no-default-keyring" argument: apt-key adv --no-default-keyring --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys KEY [04:47] hello. say i wanted to download an 64bit live ubuntu disc WITH repositories (essentials or all) - is there anything pre-made for this?

The fonts are not Free as in freedom, which is why they can't be included by default (and why you may choose to instead use similar free fonts like Liberation Serif which is similar to Times New Roman). [04:58] I'd very much prefer to use Liberation Serif, but I have to use Times New Roman for MLA formatted papers. [05:00] hey Jordan_U - one nick i recognize from these rooms. I found "Cubic" - a custom Ubuntu .iso maker. I am wondering, is there a list of default/included packages with the live cd i could check, to save the time of making my own Ubuntu iso?

[06:57] Well my computer works fine except when I try to play media, then it starts to lock up [06:59] I just don't get why it freezes up so bad [06:59] Do you think it could be because of the kind of media I'm watching? Or maybe even the websites? [07:03] I seem to have "fixed" the problem by selecting a GNOME Shell theme that shrinks the size of the top panel. [07:09] amazoniantoad: could be a graphics driver thing, which gpu + driver is this? also, which ubuntu and kernel versions? [07:12] amazoniantoad: It helps if you provide more details than "media". Is it eg a 1080p youtube video? Is it a local audio track? etc etc [07:12] hateball oh no it's remote.

[08:38] python -v [08:39] ah, that won't necessarily match the version of the package, due to patching etc. [08:40] >>> import sys [08:40] >>> print (sys.version) [08:40] 3.5.2 (default, Nov 17 2016, 17:05:23) [08:40] [GCC 5.4.0 20160609] [08:40] >>> [08:40] but wasn't python3 installed by default? it should have been. [08:40] yes, it almost certainly was [08:41] i used apt-get to install various things on this server jsut fine [08:41] somewhere sometime somethign went wrong [08:43] ttps://pastebin.com/c0f8b2sL <---this iswhat happens [08:45] you've installed nothing from outside the repos? [08:45] a few python modules [08:45] using pip [08:45] but other than that.. [08:46] did you check if any of those modules were already installed from the repos? [08:48] used pip with sudo ? [08:50] can you try 'sudo dpkg -P python-samba'? === r0Oter is now known as r00ter [08:58] how can i configure my system so i type my password once when i login and thats it [08:59] i.e dont need to enter in terminal all the time [09:00] steenman: you want anything run with sudo to not ask for your password? that is a very bad idea [09:01] i agree, but it also seems pointless to keep entering my password for sudo when im at home [09:02] so i may type my password in 30 times a day [09:02] :) [09:03] there must a better way to set things up [09:04] steenman: there is a timeout value if you use sudo in quick succession but it seems to me you are not using sudo too often [09:11] found the problme! [09:11] python lock file [09:19] steenman: removing the password protection from sudo is a horrible idea. instead, if you know you'll be needing to do stuff as root a lot for a while, run 'sudo -i' in a separate terminal and keep it open. [09:27] Hi [09:27] Does anyone know how to check if you are currently running on xorg or wayland via the terminal? [09:28] I keep running into an odd Window problem... [09:29] JFox762: try 'loginctl show-session c2' and look at 'type' === kostkon_ is now known as kostkon [09:31] ducasse: ill try that - thanks! [09:34]
