[00:00] rh10: filezilla is one. primarily meant for ftp, but i think it can be used for two local directories as well [00:00] tomreyn, got it.

[00:21] in lshw xenial webpage i see reference to an 02.17-1.1ubuntu3.2 package that doesnt exist in repo's pool. so is it true that previous point release's packages arent kept in pool? [00:26] hey guys. so my friend has an ethernet cable heading into a side building that he wants wifi in for his family. All we have to work with is an older laptop that should have enough firepower. I want to turn it into an Ethernet->Wifi Hotspot bridge. Can this be done from an ubuntu live CD/USB or must the OS be installed? [00:26] I have found this: https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/net-wireless-adhoc.html [00:26] I just wanna know if this can be done from a Live CD [00:32] i'm not certain but would assume so. alternatively ouy could install ubuntu to a usb stick and boot it from there [00:41] !info lshw xenial [00:41] lshw (source: lshw): information about hardware configuration.

[00:46] okay I -really- like 17.10's interface so far [00:46] looks very intuitive and organized compared to last time I saw Unity [00:46] what is this? [00:46] is this Unity or something else [00:48] Volund: It is " something else" as unity is no longer the defaiult in 17.10 .. maybe gnome or wayland - if your hardware supports can have either , [00:48] running it in Vbox right now. how can I check [00:49] ah [00:49] GNOME 3.26.1 [00:49] okay this is NICE. [00:50] I might be tempted to switch back to Ubuntu from Win10 after this school term's over [00:51] Bashing-om: thanks. but then if i happen to download 16.04.1 upgrade will get me straight to 16.04.3 ? Or if i am to 16.04.3 i cant go back to 16.04.2 (possibly, since intermediate point release packages are not in the pool)? [00:53] chomwitt: 16.04.1 install: in the upgrade you will go to all latest . There is no go-back; no UNDO . [00:55] Bashing-om: ..hmm.. interesting.. it's like i've just had a minor epiphany regarding point releases.. [00:56] chomwitt: That said . you can boot the system with older kernels - providing they have not been removed . [01:01] chomwitt: Kernel: " Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS >> 4.4.0-98-generic " nerrently .

I had a failure of some kind where I lost my mdadm superblocks on 2 out of 4 disks in my RAID5. I have created new ones and it seems ok, but I cannot decrypt any LUKS data. I also see that I've got a new UUID and name in mdadm -E. Anyone familiar with mdadm?= [02:16] You said yesterday that you had luks, we shivered.. [02:18] yeah, but the problem is not LUKS, it's mdadm/software RAID [02:18] why the hostility against luks? [02:19] Hi, is it possible to launch a program in a virtual window of sorts? [02:19] more details? [02:19] oerheks: is there anything better than luks for full disk encryption that I'm not aware of? [02:20] Like, $ unknown-command-that-wraps-command --res 1024x768 openxenmanager # which looks awful on 4k [02:20] well you lost your superblock, and recovering with luks, your outcome may vary [02:21] i have no clue how to proceed after this [02:22] i have a copy of the two original superblocks, can I recreate the two damaged ones with this? [02:23] ' original' as before the disaster struck, or before you started recovering yesterday? [02:24] before I started recovery, but I am pretty confidentthat it's the same as before disaster struck also [02:25] however I only have the superblocks for sdc and sdd, sdb and sde is lost [02:36] how can i extract tar.gz file?

[03:21] hi. I finally got touch working on an acer iconia tab in 16.04 and then upgraded to 17.04 and it still works. [03:22] how do i do up/down arrows and ctl, etc. with the on screen keyboard? Is there another keyboard to select? [03:23] i.e., I want to do the a previous command in the terminal, but there is not up arrow, unless I connect a usb keyboard [03:31] touchui: Android? Hacker's keyboard. [03:31] Or use something like JuiceSSH that has that functionality built in. [03:35] hi. i'm trying to set up backup with deja-dup with a WDcloud connected to my router. but i keep getting error messages. also not sure what option to pick. anybody have time to get me started? [03:35] trekkie1701c, what do you mean android? hacker's keyboard - you mean switch to android? I'll look at juicessh. thanks [03:35] hi [03:35] I thought it was an android tablet.

I don't see high CPU usage on anything. Any ideas of where to look? [04:36] doc, do you have your gpu accellerated? check good ol glxgears maybe? [04:40] so when you start VNC or Teamviewer, speed drops to 15 kbps..? [04:42] i guess my custom Ubuntu is still showing a black screen on load. should i add nomodeset? or something else [04:42] custom Ubuntu iso [04:42] By the by guys [04:44] may help to specify your hardware and check logs (dmesg?), lakitu :) [04:44] I was troubled yesterday setting up drbd ->lvm with pacemaker+corosync to have postgres fs replication and automatic master promotion or whatever [04:45] The thing is that I never got it to run because the lvm step failed [04:45] well it runs ubuntu - it's a 3770k i7. the gpu had a ubuntu, deb variant working for a long time [04:45] & i'm not sure how to get to dmesg from the black screen [04:45] I was puzzled because I had my lvm.conf filters ok but even with that a $ vgscan told me there were duplicated devices [04:46] it's weird because i verified the disc & it runs fine in a virtual machine [04:46] it's right after the ubuntu & dots loading screen [04:46] Solved it by disabling lvmetad in lvm.conf in the two nodes. Now it runs just fine. [04:47] Thought it would be good to share ;-) [04:48] I absolutely hate the gnome interface in 17.10. it looks like it was just thrown together with a few app updates, and basic standards.

Some data may be corrupt. Please run fsck." [04:50] older HP laptops with a nonexistant hardware switch [04:51] lakitu, i'm not fully paying atttention, but in this particular regard, 'pastebinit' is a useful tool [04:51] whats worse? you cant just change the wifi card. the BIOS screams that it isnt compatible :/ [04:52] some weird bios lockout for the built in wifi unless you are running windows, i guess [04:53] cub26 try something like systemctl start dhcpcd@enp6s0.service [04:53] replace enp6s0 with whatever your network card is. [04:54] service not found? [04:54] or rather, not found [04:55] Cub26: find out what your network interface is. [04:55] it should be under /dev/ [04:55] the name? ie wlo1? [04:55] possibly? [04:56] I haven't had to run anything like that since my archlinux days [04:57] I have tried everything i could find online. for acers, rfkill unblock all works. not for this. the only key switch is F12. it only toggles soft on it. [04:57] it seems as if the BIOS keeps it locked unless you run windows [04:57] that is super unlikely. [04:57] it's a dual boot setup and it works under win 10 x64 [04:58] at some point during the win 10 boot proecess the LED changes color to show it's "on" [04:58] under linux it doesn't and the raw output according to rfkill is that it only toggles soft [04:58] well it probably would if you are using an oem supplied copy of windows, which would have all of the proprietary drivers for your hardware pre-installed. [04:59] i reinstalled the OEM Win7 and upgraded to win 10 (bought it used and put in my SSD) [05:00] Cub26: can you pastebin the output of 'sudo lshw -short' [05:00] I have a similar HP but much higher end (for 2011). sadly something hardware for display went bad, it has no backlight even with a new screen. it acts the same way for windows [05:00] sure. hold on [05:02] the second problem you are having is definitely a hardware issue. take apart the bezel of the monitor (if you can) and check that all the wires and ribbon cables are still securely connected [05:02] there is usually a chipboard directly beneath the screen that controls the backlight. [05:03] the WLX one is the one i'm connected throught right now (USB) https://pastebin.com/W2aTXuQs [05:04] ah, they added a nice F6-accessible ISOLinux way add nomodeset just via a menu. i'm trying that . . . [05:04] wlo1 is the built in WIFI === quarkFusion is now known as wx [05:06] d4rkt1m3s yeah i just haven't gotten to it. i have changed the fan a few times on that DV6 one. basically one day it didnt have backlight anymore. i can see it showig on the screen if i have it out in bright sunlight so it has data going to the screen, just no backlight [05:07] i bought a replacement screen, put it in, no change. sent the screen back (good ol amazon) [05:07] it's not a screen problem. [05:07] i know that now ;) [05:07] its a problem with the chip that should be seated directly below the screen. [05:07] i assumed it was at first [05:08] well, try that and you should be golden. [05:08] i will one day i guess [05:08] for your networking problem, try systemctl start dhcpcd@wlx000a5224ff84.service [05:08] and pastebin the output (if any) [05:08] no no, thats the one that does work lol [05:08] that's why I'm telling you to do it. [05:08] thats the one im connected through right now [05:09] oh ok [05:09] Sveta, (others): i was able to get to the installer by enabling nomodeset via ISOLinux. very cool, thanks anyway [05:10] failed to start unit blahblah not found [05:10] idk then bro [05:11] i have dhclient instead i believe [05:11] it's probably a kernel issue. [05:11] wicd only has that (and automatic) as options. dhcpcd is greyed out [05:12] probably :/ [05:12] its been around for years too from what i have read [05:13] i've never encountered integrated hardware not working specifically with gnu/linux. [05:13] i have to use a usb adapter and wicd. built in crap doesn't work (except comand line) [05:13] the xubuntu built in wifi tray thing is saying wifi is disabled for both. yet here i am ;) [05:15] wcid works with the USB one. changing the setting to wlo1 doesn't make the internal work so it's definately not being accessed somehow [05:15] oh well at least it's dual boot. might just sat the heck with linux on here though. what a pain [05:16] lubuntu works great on the old eeepc netbook. even the wifi. lol [05:16] anybody know how to backup to a WDcloud hdd connected on router with deja-dup? [05:16] i tried putting in a different card in this G6 from another dead laptop but this one's BIOS screams at POST that you can't use it in this laptop [05:17] HP makes a normally universal thing like a PCIe card not universal :/ [05:18] i bought this laptop used because it uses the same battery as the DV6 with no backlight. and it is easy to change the HDD on [05:18] at first i bought a Dell but you have to tear it totally apart to get at the HDD :( [05:18] so i exchanged it for this one [05:19] i wanted my SSD in it, so yeah [05:19] WiFi problems? [05:20] I have no idea what to do for you Cub [05:20] I miss having a netbook [05:22] oops [05:23] oh well guess i'm done anyway. yeah, its pretty sad when a widely common consumer laptop/wifi card has such major compatility problems [05:23] Yup, WiFi problems [05:23] everything else is fine, just that [05:23] PCI? USB? [05:23] well yes and no [05:24] the usb one doesn't work with the built in WIFI GUI crap in xubuntu or lubuntu [05:24] i finally found it working at command line, then saw mention of wicd and that works too for the USB one [05:25] So wicd makes both work? [05:25] no, only USB [05:25] That's Ubuntu 17.10? [05:25] in the settings for wicd, you have to have the hardware name typed in. if change it to wlo1 it doesn't make it work [05:26] xubuntu 16.04 x64 [05:27] i tried it with lubuntu 17.10 x32 (because i already had it on disc for a netbook) at first. [05:27] And neither worked? [05:27] i thought it might have been an x32 issue so i totally wiped that out and put x64 of xubutu [05:28] nope [05:28] It's weird that network manager isn't able to handle a USB adapter while wicd does [05:28] exactly [05:28] it says disabled and never works either [05:29] wicd works for the USB one just fine [05:29] But both fail for the internal which means either kernel module or firmware [05:29] yep [05:30] its been a problem since 2011 it seems [05:30] Holy cow [05:30] acers have less of a problem [05:30] you can rfkill it away but not HPs [05:30] most of the online mentions are from 2011-2012, the age of this laptop. [05:31] a few are newer, ie 2015 [05:31] You've got the description of both devices? It would be helpful to open a bug report [05:32] https://pastebin.com/W2aTXuQs [05:32] the wlo1 is internal. the wlx or whatever is the USB one [05:33] both realtrek too oddly ehough [05:33] but different chipsets [05:33] Cool. Oh boy it'd be good to get my hands on one of those to test the whole thing ^^ [05:33] But might be that if a bug is opened someone will pick it up. [05:34] After all wicd picking it up while network manager not is alarming [05:34] yep [05:36] care to see a screenshot of network manager from the tray? lol [05:36] my root partition says it's full, but I can't seem to figure out why. Can anyone help me? [05:37] GizmoRomick: does 'df -h' say it's full?

Anyone knows wich port [05:50] reisio: when I look at Filelight's first page, it says that / has 211.6 GiB total space. When I scan /, it then says 10.3 in the center. I have screenshots [05:50] sorry :-) wich port I must open in order to connect a frebsd client to my nfs ubuntu server? [05:52] i do # ufw allow nfs but when I try to mount my ~/DATA directory on freebssd nothing happen [05:54] And if I disable ufw and then again try to mount ~/DATA on freebsd all goes well,so what port most be open. Sorry for my English [05:57] GizmoRomick: yes? [05:58] reisio: do you want me to send you the screenshots? I'm not sure how to do that [06:03] seems awefully quiet all the sudden [06:05] 😶 [06:07] GizmoRomick: well it's what, 1am EST? === Trystam is now known as Tristam [06:07] can't see images you /haven't/ sent, that's for sure [06:08] reisio: that sounda bout right. It's 9PM here in Alaska [06:10] y'know, I didn't know AK had its own time zone [06:10] PST+1? :p [06:12] reisio: I guess I never thought about it, but AK is the only land using that time zone. [06:13] reisio: I tried to send the file, but it timed out. Sorry, I'm really new to using IRC [06:13] yeah I'm not sure I even have that setup [06:14] reisio: try this google photo link: https://photos.app.goo.gl/oiVLi9ApaF7fi2CC2 [06:14] reisio: there should be two screenshots [06:15] GizmoRomick: ok I see them, what about'm? [06:16] reisio: Looking at the left screenshot, it says it is 211.6 GiB and it is full, which to me makes no sense. The screenshot to the right is a scan of /. It shows about 10.3 GiB used, which seems to make more sense to me. The largest user of space being /usr, which is using about 7 GiB [06:17] resio: so, it looks like there is a big difference in used space between what is reported and what is actually being used. Does that make any sense? [06:19] reisio: is it possible it can't scan everything because it doesn't have superuser privilages? [06:20] who do i send the bill to [06:22] for ubuntu installer fucking up a drive it wasnt being installed to. [06:24] GizmoRomick: yup [06:24] bchma: yourself [06:28] reisio: the du command was run with sudo, and it also doesn't see all this space being used http://paste.ubuntu.com/25944600/. I guess I will ignore it for now and see if root does fill up, or if it is a reporting error. [06:33] GizmoRomick: where are you seeing the math not add up? [06:39] reisio: at first, Filelight shows about 186 GiB used (this is what df command shows). When scanned to show specific folder usage, Filelight shows 10.3 total used (this matches closer to what du command shows). [06:42] maybe you need to look at inodes, df -i [06:44] oerheks: Feeling like a newb here. I understand what an Inode is, but not what I am looking at here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25944681/ [06:47] inode usage [06:47] nothing @ 100% so looks fine [06:47] so, is looking at inodes a more accurate way of judging usage % [06:48] usage of inodes [06:48] you can be out of inodes but still have space [06:48] df reads the superblock only and trusts it completely. du reads each object and sums them up. [06:49] ok, sounds like I'm good. Thank you. [06:55] now if I could only figure out how to do iOS development without actually going out to buy a Mac [06:55] not suprisingly, the vmware channel has been a lot less helpful [06:56] you can run an osx vm [06:56] not legally probably though [06:59] Ben64: on Virtualbox, High Sierra keeps hanging. Using VMWare player, I can't even get the OS to boot from the High Sierra vmdk file I downloaded. I'm probably just not smart enough on VMs to get it to work. [07:01] hello ubuntu, I've just installed ubuntu on a fresh thinkPad S5 and can't get it to detect the wi-fi card. [07:01] I've tried instaling the latest updates [07:03] I've got an unknown:unknown under my "additional Drivers". Says: "this device is not working", then "Using Processor microcode firmware for intel cpus from intel-microcode ... [07:03] I tried to install it but it hung and I don't really think this is a cpu problem [07:04] I've also tried: `service network-manager restart` [07:16] I've also tried `sudo dpkg-reconfigure resolvconf` [07:16] not that I know what any of that does but I'd really like to be able to connect to the internet [07:21] doing random things isn't going to help [07:21] @Ben64 that's why I'm here [07:22] Ben64: that's why i'm here [07:22] I've also turned it off and on [07:22] but you keep saying random things you've tried [07:23] rolandnsharp: can you put the output of 'lshw -C network' in a pastebin and post the link here? [07:23] I googled thinkpad wifi not working" and copy pasted some random results into the terminal [07:23] yeah, don't do that [07:23] thats how you'll break things more [07:24] ducasse: https://pastebin.com/v9fr0ar8 [07:28] does 'rfkill list' list anything as blocked? [07:30] ducasse: no [07:30] only some non-blocked bluetooth stuff [07:32] ok, then i don't know how to help, sorry. your wifi does not appear to be visible afaict. [07:33] ducasse: damn. thanks for trying [07:34] you can try ##linux, just be aware that this is a pretty quiet time right now, especially since it's the weekend. will probably pick up in a couple of hours, though. [07:36] ducasse: thanks. I'll try that before I try a reinstall and pick "install proprietary software" [07:37] rolandnsharp: that's only multimedia codecs etc, won't affect this. [07:38] rolandnsharp: is windows also installed on this laptop? does the wifi work there? [07:39] ducasse: yeah, wifi is working on windows [07:39] this is odd. is it listed by 'lspci' at all? [07:40] ducasse: not that I can see [07:45] rolandnsharp: i assume 'lsusb' won't list it either? [07:46] ducasse: there is a: Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0bb4:0ffe HTC (High Tech Computer Corp.) Desire HD (modem mode) [07:47] and a: Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0bda:58db Realtek Semiconductor Corp [07:47] but nothing else could be it as far as I can see === chalcedny is now known as chalcedony [08:37] terminal : how do I find out about my hardware? [08:45] chovynz: 'lshw' (you might want to run it with 'sudo', depending on what you're after), or 'inxi' are two alternatives [08:45] Is UKUU safe to use? Does it leave the Ubuntu kernels installed? [08:51] hello all I have 2 nvidia 1080ti video cards [08:51] connected as SLI and all I get is ja black screen on boot [08:51] I was able to chroot in and install the latest nvidia drivers but still all I get is a black screen at bjoot any susgestions? [08:52] brian|lfs, in grub, you'll need to add `nomodeset` to the end of your `linux` line [08:52] i had the same problem [08:53] ah omg your kidding lol [08:53] wow thanks I'll give it a shot [08:53] nope [08:53] i don't have 2, just 1, but that's what fixed it for me [08:53] got me text mode, such that i could use the installer to install the drivers, and all was well after reboot [08:53] well I thought I installed the drivers in chroot [08:54] i'm on a ryzen 7 so no integrated gpu; if you've got an integrated gpu, use that instead will make life easier =] [08:54] I used the 375 drivers [08:54] I'm on a x299 jboard [08:54] i'm using 381.22 [08:54] me too [08:54] oh ok didn't see that when i SEARCH [08:54] i'm running 17.04 though [08:54] the nvidia drivers don't work with wayland on 17.10 [08:54] keep that in mind [08:55] ok [08:55] Hi! I just installed Ubuntu Gnome 16.04.3 LTS on my laptop, and my touch pad seems to be detected as if it were a mouse -- I cannot tap to click, and the setting application doesn't list touchpad settings as it did when I used standard Ubuntu. [08:55] How do I fix this? ;-; [08:55] anyway gotta go, good luck brian|lfs [09:00] RavinduL: i think you can just change this in the sys settings somewhere [09:01] The Ask Ubuntu answer at https://askubuntu.com/a/778766 suggests that I install the `xserver-xorg-input-libinput` package, but I get this error: https://i.imgur.com/rv2yamC.png [09:03] It reads "The following packages have unmet dependencies: xserver-xorg-input-libinput : Depends: xorg-input-abi-22 Depends: xserver-xorg-core (>= 2:1.17.99.902) E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages." [09:10] thank you ducasse, perfect! [09:11] https://pastebin.com/M4DtCHAU [09:11] I'm looking at putting windows 7 into a VM, and my Ubuntu is the Host. Does my system have enough resources to game in the windows VM? [09:12] chovynz: probably not [09:12] chovynz, https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/10737/windows-7-system-requirements [09:13] That says yes [09:14] Furthermore, I _think_ Windows 10 is relatively less resource intensive than Windows 7, so you're probably better off with Windows 10. [09:15] chovynz: unless you have some means for your vm to access your physical graphics card you will likely find gaming in a VM impractical [09:16] There is those means yes? [09:16] chovynz: not on your system [09:16] ok === ziprar is now known as zipace [09:30] hey guys ...on my ub 16,04 i ran 'sudo apt-get upgrade'' and then i reboot .i can login but no dash, no icon just the wallpaper. Then i again reboot and press ctrl-alt-f1 at login.now the terminal that has opened is welcoming me on ubuntu 17.04 .so two questions 1.how 'apt-get upgrade did what dist-upgrade is suppose to do 2.how to get my system back === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang === jstein_ is now known as jstein [09:41] mahakal: well dist-upgrade doesn't do what you think it does [10:07] Anyone here good with dualbooting / partitioning? [10:08] chovynz: I am so good with it, I just wiped out windows and went full disk on windows the other day [10:08] XD [10:08] * full disk on ubuntu [10:08] Encryption was more important to me.. [10:08] gaming is more important to me [10:09] That is why I did want windows. I need to consider this sometime [10:09] I'm on full Ubuntu, wanting to bring back le games [10:10] I've messed around with Wine, DosinaBox, windows through VM, and a bunch of other things, but really, I would like DualBoot Ubuntu as my main business/audio/creation setup with Windows as my R&R [10:11] I don't work on this laptop. It's purely for general use. [10:11] But.. I prefer ubuntu to windows for general use. [10:11] In all reality I doubt I'd ever game on it REALLY. [10:12] I used to have a shite laptop [10:12] could only play flash games on it [10:12]
