| vincenzoml | Hi there, I just installed ubuntu 16.04 on a macbook 2008 (4,1). It's slow on login; basically I see the background hanging for some 30 seconds or more. I thought it was the fault of compositing or heavy desktop interface, so I uninstalled ubuntu-desktop unity* gnome* and installed xubuntu-desktop. Problem persists. Can it be lightdm? What's the display manager of xubuntu? | 08:49 |
| alkisg | Flash 27.0.0.187 is out, but Ubuntu Xenial still has 27,0,0,159, so firefox disables it... when should we expect an update? | 08:51 |
| alkisg | Ah, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/adobe-flashplugin => in proposed... | 08:52 |
| vincenzoml | I just installed xdm and things did not change: after log in, background sits there for a long time, then finally xfce loads and everything seems to work as expected. Any hint? | 08:56 |
| k_sze[work] | Are the Ubuntu image checksums served from any HTTPS site? | 08:57 |
| k_sze[work] | Using GPG to verify the checksum file and then using the checksum file to verify the image is ... so much work. | 08:58 |
| bazhang | !hashes | 08:58 |
| ubottu | See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of all downloadable Ubuntu releases | 08:58 |
| k_sze[work] | bazhang: yes, but releases.ubuntu.com is not served over HTTPS. | 08:59 |
| bazhang | k_sze[work], afraid they are not secure? | 08:59 |
| k_sze[work] | bazhang: if I'm not afraid, why would I bother checking the hashes? | 09:00 |
| bazhang | k_sze[work], would someone here independently checking it , be enough for you | 09:00 |
| alkisg | Hashes are not only there for security, one may also need to see if the download was not corrupted by bad networking or copying | 09:01 |
| bazhang | yep | 09:01 |
| k_sze[work] | The whole process needs to be more usable. | 09:02 |
| k_sze[work] | Like, there's the GPG signature file, now what? | 09:02 |
| bazhang | k_sze[work], suggestions are welcome | 09:02 |
| k_sze[work] | I don't even know whose key it's using. | 09:02 |
| alkisg | Eeeh it's not using a key | 09:02 |
| alkisg | It's just a form of CRC | 09:02 |
| bazhang | k_sze[work], this, howerver is not the correct forum to hash out those possible improvements | 09:03 |
| k_sze[work] | alkisg: are you telling me there's actually no way to cryptographically verify the *authenticity* of Ubuntu images? | 09:04 |
| alkisg | k_sze[work]: hashes are for integrity, not authenticity | 09:04 |
| vincenzoml | and the answer to my problem is: https://askubuntu.com/questions/893817/boot-very-slow-because-of-drm-kms-helper-errors | 09:05 |
| vincenzoml | (just to record this in the chat logs) | 09:05 |
| k_sze[work] | Like, the images are not signed by any known GPG key, *and* they are not served over HTTPS by any of the mirrors. | 09:07 |
| alkisg | k_sze[work]: right. And once you download the image, you can get its correct md5sum from any site you trust, and verify its integrity | 09:07 |
| alkisg | There's no .iso signing | 09:07 |

| alkisg | stevie86: remove the ppa from your sources, then run apt update, then install the stock tmate | 10:45 |

| akik | littlejohnny: the selection is in the login screen, where you can select the xfce desktop | 10:59 |

| akik | littlejohnny: the package manager didn't pull the needed dependencies for the gui login? | 11:01 |
| littlejohnny | no.. and i dont know why.. because when i install ubuntu-desktop after installing Ubuntu Server 16.04 it will boot into the desktop, but with xfce4 it doesnt. | 11:02 |
| littlejohnny | akik | 11:02 |
| akik | littlejohnny: i wonder if "sudo apt-get install xorg" would fix it? sorry i haven't ran into that kind of problem | 11:03 |
| geirha | did you install just xfce4, or xubuntu-desktop? | 11:03 |
| littlejohnny | geirha, i installed only xfce4 and rebooted and still booted into server mode. I tried installing xfce4-goodies and rebooted. and still no gui. | 11:04 |
| littlejohnny | akik, not sure.. havent tried it yet | 11:04 |
| akik | littlejohnny: ah maybe you need to set the systemd target for graphical.target | 11:05 |
| geirha | xfce4 is just the main component of the xfce desktop-environment. It won't get you the desktop manager (lightdm) for instance, like the *ubuntu-desktop packages do | 11:05 |
| akik | littlejohnny: what does "systemctl get-default" tell you? | 11:06 |
| JerryCotton | i did read that ubuntu no longer uses lightdm in 17.10. but thats only a sidenote :) | 11:06 |
| geirha | littlejohnny: have a look at ''apt depends xubuntu-desktop'' you'll want some more of those packages | 11:06 |
| geirha | or just install xubuntu-desktop outright, to get the whole xubuntu experience | 11:07 |
| littlejohnny | hmm.. apt depends xubuntu-desktop seems like i can get somewhere | 11:11 |

| ducasse | qazeeassad: there's usually a bios/firmware setting to choose which gpu to use | 11:41 |
| qazeeassad | I have checked that, my bios doesn't show this info | 11:41 |

| qazeeassad | ducasse: is there no other option to do that? | 11:44 |
| ducasse | qazeeassad: ask your hardware manufacturer why they don't support linux | 11:44 |
| qazeeassad | ducasse: I have never questioned them for Windows, so why should I need to ask them for Ubuntu | 11:45 |
| ducasse | qazeeassad: and i don't know, i just know it's common there's a bios setting | 11:45 |

| qazeeassad | bye bye Ubuntu... going back to Windows 10... | 11:47 |
| ducasse | qazeeassad: many manufacturers build stuff that only works properly with windows. they cut corners in the hardware/firmware, and write special windows drivers to fix those problems. then they don't release docs to linux developers | 11:47 |
| qazeeassad | you are right my friend, but hardware present in the laptop is simply hardware | 11:48 |
| qazeeassad | if Ubuntu can detect my first Intel Graphics Driver, why cannot it simply detect the 2nd Graphics Card from Radeon | 11:49 |

| steenman | its not a major problem just wondering if there is a shortcut to temporaily remove the dir from the terminal or abrreviate it | 11:55 |
| steenman | im not talking about auto completion :) | 11:56 |
| ducasse | steenman: you need to be specific :) see what the bash man page has to say about the PS1 variable, you can set it to only include one level, for example | 11:58 |
| DrSlony | Hello, how do I upgrade some package to a specific version which is not the latest version Specifically, I need to upgrade gitlab-8.5.8 to 9.5.x | 11:58 |
| steenman | ducasse: i will check that out, its come about because i am being very organised with my files :), the downside is i have alot of dirs within dirs | 12:00 |
| alkisg | Industrial: are you using network-manager? If so, nmcli helps there | 12:05 |
| alkisg | manpages.ubuntu.com/nmcli | 12:05 |
| ducasse | steenman: try 'export PROMPT_DIRTRIM=1' or replace 1 with 2 or whatever suits you | 12:09 |
| Industrial | alkisg: thanks! | 12:10 |
| steenman | ducasse: excellent! that worked | 12:11 |
| steenman | thats just temporary for that cmd prompt isn it? | 12:12 |
| steenman | what would be good is as you cd through certain directories it automatiically shortens them to ellipsis after a certain depth | 12:13 |
| carbocalm | Hi ducasse, thanks for your help yesterday. fixed my xmonad yesterday on aardvark. Previously the cog beside login button was missing. Thank you. | 12:14 |
| ducasse | steenman: don't know of any such feature. try 'man bash', look under 'Shell Variables' and 'PROMPTING' | 12:15 |
| ducasse | steenman: and yes, it's temporary. add that line to ~/.bashrc to make it permanent for every interactive shell | 12:17 |
| steenman | that does exactly what i want! :) | 12:19 |
| steenman | pwd | 12:19 |
| steenman | oops wrong windopw | 12:19 |

| jlacroix | I'm hoping someone can help me with connecting an external USB hard disk to a KVM/Qemu VM. I've tried installing every package with the word "spice" in the name, on both the host and VM, and I've tried reconnecting, rebooting, etc. For some reason, no matter what I do, the USB drive doesn't show up in the guest VM. | 12:28 |
| ChunkzZ | Hi, quick question. I done a netinstall of Ubuntu 16.04 and I didn't chose to install anything except system utilities and then went on to install lxde and i3-wm with other stuff. when I try and logout from lxde, it does nothing, I click it and nothing happens? only way to get out of the session is to restart from within terminal... any ideas where to start troubleshooting and/or fixing it? | 12:39 |
| terfysgwr | hello, using grub - how do I make 'ubuntu upstart' the default boot? see my grub menu just has Ubuntu in the entry. the other entries only show up once you go to advanced options. Do those count as boot order ? | 12:40 |
| terfysgwr | ChunkzZ, I had similar issues with lxde on 16.04. Some buttons not working, menus acting strange. I don't have an answer but you might want to just switch to xfce | 12:42 |
| alkisg | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Submenus | 12:42 |
| alkisg | terfysgwr: ^ | 12:42 |
| terfysgwr | Thanks alkisg | 12:42 |
| ChunkzZ | that sucks terfysgwr | 12:43 |
| ChunkzZ | :( | 12:43 |
| terfysgwr | alkisg aha Big thanks. Exactly what I needed :) | 12:43 |
| terfysgwr | ChunkzZ, yeah I know. I used it for years. Loved it | 12:43 |
| terfysgwr | But xfce is about the same as far as ram consumption (if you care) & editing menus and things like that are more intuitive to me | 12:44 |
| terfysgwr | I gotta run now. ChunkzZ, you can 1) try to locate the file that has the button info for logout and see if is actually using the logout command and 2) if you havent heavily customized the menu yet, just delete that entire panel and create a new one | 12:46 |
| terfysgwr | Cheers | 12:47 |
| fstoltz | Hey, I'm trying to install Ubuntu Server, how should I go about creating a new partition? I'm running Linux Mint on the same harddrive, and it's setup with LVM. Should I create a new partition within Linux Mint first or do everything within the Ubuntu Server installer? I've tried doing it within the installer but I always seem to end up at options telling me that the whole disk will be formatted. Appreciate any help or hints | 13:00 |
| ztane | grrrrrr | 13:02 |
| ztane | capslock woes | 13:02 |
| ztane | someone then decided that there is no need for capslock indicator in gnome gpg pass dialogs... | 13:02 |
| ztane | ... then ... IDK why, but whenever the capslock is *on* elsewhere, it is *off* in the password dialog | 13:03 |
| alkisg | ChunkzZ: check .xsession-errors and syslog, you're probably missing required packages | 13:07 |
| alkisg | ChunkzZ: if the reason for this installation method was to end up to a light system, the route was wrong :) | 13:08 |

| laceylaney | HI.... I would like to be able to use transmission from a terminal but do not know how to set-up transmission-remote-cli. Would someone be able to point me to some help ?? | 13:30 |
| geirha | laceylaney: using transmission-gtk? or the daemon? | 13:31 |
| laceylaney | I'm running transmission through openbox so gtk.... | 13:32 |
| geirha | ok, in the gtk client's preferences, enable the web interface. That should be it | 13:32 |
| laceylaney | So whenever I enable that I can access transmission through the command line ?? | 13:33 |
| geirha | yes, it will start listening on the rpc port 9091, which is the same as the web interface | 13:35 |
| ChunkzZ | alkisg: yeah, tis was to be on a light system. I'm running i3-wm atm so will check soon. what packages do I need? | 13:35 |
| laceylaney | Thank you for the help :-) | 13:35 |
| laceylaney | Just tried what you suggested and the web interface loads but is set to port 9080 & whenever I try to load via the command line I'm presented with | 13:37 |
| laceylaney | unauthorized user | 13:38 |
| geirha | if you have authentication enabled, the default username and password is transmission iirc | 13:38 |
| === jackNemrod_ is now known as jackNemrod | ||
| laceylaney | It doesn't ask for anything whenever I run the command ?? How should the command look ?? | 13:39 |
| laceylaney | Sorry I'm such a noob.... | 13:39 |
| geirha | laceylaney: run the remote-cli client with --help. It should have some options to specify username and password | 13:40 |
| laceylaney | Ahhh yea thanks :-) Will try that now. | 13:40 |
| alkisg | ChunkzZ: if you want a light system, install lubuntu or ubuntu-mate or whatever, and start it in single mode (recovery) so that most services don't launch, and put a startx script there | 13:54 |
| alkisg | ChunkzZ: otherwise, just use the recommended packages (apt install --install-recommends), omitting them will get you trouble. | 13:55 |
| ChunkzZ | cheers alkisg :) | 13:55 |
| littlejohnny | akik, it says graphical.target | 13:59 |
| akik | littlejohnny: ok as it should for a graphical login screen | 14:01 |
| akik | littlejohnny: on kubuntu 16.04 i have sddm running | 14:01 |
| littlejohnny | akik, then why am i not getting the login screen though? anything to activate it? or am i missing packages? | 14:01 |
| akik | littlejohnny: you can check what login manager you have with: dpkg -l | grep -E "(sddm|lightdm)" i don't remember which one xubuntu has | 14:04 |
| BluesKaj | littlejohnny, you prrobly opted for autologin during the install. hence no login page | 14:04 |
| geirha | akik: apt depends xubuntu-desktop | grep -E '(sddm|lightdm)' | 14:05 |
| littlejohnny | akik, that cmd doesnt return anything | 14:06 |
| akik | littlejohnny: it's lightdm that you need to install | 14:07 |
| littlejohnny | BluesKaj, no. the story is i installed server, but then i just want minimal xfce4 desktop...installed xfce4 but theres no gui. | 14:07 |
| geirha | if you don't want a desktop manager, you have to start X manually with the startx command | 14:08 |
| geirha | the desktop manager is the one responsible for the graphical login screen | 14:08 |
| littlejohnny | geirha, that worked without installing anything else. how do i make it auto startx though? | 14:09 |
| littlejohnny | if thats possible | 14:09 |
| littlejohnny | without installing desktop manager.. or isnt that possible? | 14:10 |
| geirha | littlejohnny: short answer: "You don't", Long answer: You find a getty application that lets you autorun a command without logging in | 14:10 |
| littlejohnny | akik, btw lightdm wants to install a shit load of packages..unity control center etc.. | 14:10 |
| geirha | I don't think the getty installed by default has that feature | 14:11 |
| geirha | littlejohnny: try with --no-install-recommends | 14:11 |
| ibmr50e | what lightweight PDF reader you guys recommend? preferably GTK | 14:11 |
| geirha | lightweight is a bit useless term these days. Every new application made is advertised as "leightweight" :) | 14:12 |
| ibmr50e | as useless as your comment? | 14:13 |
| laceylaney | :quit | 14:13 |
| geirha | ok, evince | 14:14 |
| littlejohnny | geirha, sudo apt-get install lightdm --no-install-recommends and rebooted, still no gui | 14:16 |
| geirha | check if lightdm service is enabled. Also unsure if you need a ligthdm greeter | 14:17 |
| littlejohnny | geirha, maybe just sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop --no-install-recommends... i want as minimal desktop as possible lol | 14:18 |
| BluesKaj | quite sure he needs a greeter to choose thew desktop option | 14:18 |
| littlejohnny | whats the greeter package name? and how to check if lightdm service is enabled? | 14:19 |
| littlejohnny | sudo systemctl lightdm status? | 14:19 |
| geirha | apt depends lightdm see the -greeter packages | 14:19 |
| BluesKaj | the greeter is lightdm | 14:19 |
| geirha | there are separate -greeter packages, which are only "recommended", not "depended on", which is why I was unsure; don't know if lightdm comes with a default greeter or not | 14:20 |
| darkfrog | I installed MongoDB on Ubuntu 16.04 and I can't find the service script. It's apparently not in /etc/init.d/...where else are service scripts stored now? | 14:22 |
| BluesKaj | afiak it has adefault greeter | 14:25 |
| geirha | ok, so it's probably just a matter of getting the service enabled then | 14:26 |
| littlejohnny | geirha, how | 14:35 |
| littlejohnny | ? | 14:35 |
| darkfrog | you guys weren't any help, but I finally found it here: /lib/systemd/system/mongod.service | 14:35 |
| geirha | littlejohnny: see what systemctl status lightdm says | 14:37 |
| === nitemare is now known as trobotham | ||
| ChrisR | I have sort of a strange question. I'm trying to disable squashfs on an Ubuntu machine. We're using a security scanner that expects "modprobe -n -v squashfs" to return "install squashfs /bin/true". That "install squashfs /bin/true" line is in a config file in /etc/modprobe.d/disable.conf, butg it still doesn't show up when running the modprobe command. Is there any config needed to get it to show up when actually | 15:00 |
| ChrisR | running the modprobe command? Just wondering if I'm missing something. | 15:00 |
| littlejohnny | geirha, btw the status says failed.. start request repeated too quickly | 15:02 |
| brainwave | ChrisR: have you tried unsquashfs? | 15:02 |
| littlejohnny | geirha, "service hold-off time over" | 15:03 |
| littlejohnny | whys it failing | 15:03 |
| geirha | littlejohnny: check the logs ... /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log | 15:04 |
| ChrisR | brainwave: that command exists, but we don't have any squashfs filesystems on the instance | 15:04 |
| brainwave | ChrisR: So there are no squashfs filesystems, but you are trying to prevent the module being loaded by the kernel? | 15:05 |
| ChrisR | yep | 15:05 |
| ChrisR | exactly | 15:05 |
| brainwave | ChrisR: the scanner expects to 'install' the squashfs itself? is that why you want it disabled? | 15:06 |
| ChrisR | brainwave: the scanner expects this: modprobe -n -v squashfs to return this: install squashfs /bin/true | 15:06 |
| ChrisR | I realize that's kind of dumb, but | 15:06 |
| ChrisR | such is the world of security scanners ;) | 15:07 |
| brainwave | ChrisR: lets first check if the module is loaded, currently | 15:07 |
| ChrisR | okay | 15:07 |
| ChrisR | brainwave: would I see it under lsmod? | 15:10 |
| wildc4rd[work] | Good afternoon, after recommendations for getting remote desktop access to a ubuntu PC from a windows PC via internet | 15:10 |
| brainwave | ChrisR: Thats what Im confused about | 15:10 |
| brainwave | ChrisR: I know that squashfs support is enabled with a kernel switch, but I can't remember how to check for it | 15:11 |
| brainwave | but technically it 'should' show if the module is loaded | 15:11 |
| brainwave | Because I see ext4 under my lsmod (on archlinux) and thats a filesystem | 15:12 |
| hateball | wildc4rd[work]: do you need a GUI? | 15:13 |
| hateball | wildc4rd[work]: otherwise just ssh | 15:13 |
| littlejohnny | geirha, the last 2 errors say: "failed to find session configuration default" and "failed to create greeter session" | 15:14 |
| wildc4rd[work] | hateball, ideally, yes. I could just about scrape by with ssh, but other users are not as comfortable without the GUI | 15:14 |
| hateball | wildc4rd[work]: iirc Ubuntu has a builtin wizard for enabling VNC access | 15:15 |
| hateball | wildc4rd[work]: otherwise there are third party solutions like Chrome Remote Desktop | 15:15 |
| geirha | littlejohnny: ah, so perhaps you need to install xfce4-session | 15:16 |
| Mr_Pan | wildc4rd[work], teamviever ... | 15:16 |
| littlejohnny | geirha, i checked xfce4-session is installed already | 15:16 |
| geirha | hm, but not set as default apparently | 15:16 |
| brainwave | ChrisR: I am signing off atm but heres my two cents, if its worth something | 15:17 |
| wildc4rd[work] | thanks hateball/Mr_Pan, I'll give those a go and see what happens | 15:17 |
| geirha | littlejohnny: do you have anything in /usr/share/xgreeters/ ? | 15:18 |
| brainwave | ChrisR: You can either blacklist the module under /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf (path may be different) | 15:18 |
| brainwave | ChrisR: And to check if its being loaded as part of initramfs you can use mkinitcpio -v (shows which modules were pulled by which hooks. Squashfs would be pulled by filesystem hook for instance) | 15:19 |
| brainwave | ChrisR: Important thing is, after blacklisting modules by adding to modprobe.conf, rebuild your initramfs (look up on how to do this) | 15:20 |

| qazeeassad | akik when I write akik and press TAB it puts a (,) at the end.... while you wrote my name with (:) in the end | 15:32 |
| qazeeassad | do you have to do it manually everytime? or is there a short method to do so? | 15:32 |

| leftyfb | qazeeassad: what version of ubuntu are you running? What 2 types of cards do you have? How have you determined they aren't working? How have you determined if they are or aren't detected properly? | 15:38 |
| qazeeassad | I am using HP laptop with dual graphics cards... 1st is Intel HD 520 | 15:38 |
| qazeeassad | secondary is ATI Radeon 2GB graphics card | 15:39 |
| leftyfb | qazeeassad: I don't know of any laptop that will support multiple graphics "cards". | 15:39 |
| qazeeassad | I was using Windows 7 then 10.... but I want to make Ubuntu my home, there I had the ability to use both graphics cards for my purposes | 15:39 |
| leftyfb | qazeeassad: how is your ATI Radeon connected to your laptop? | 15:39 |
| qazeeassad | actually the 1st graphics card in internal motherboard, used for display | 15:40 |
| qazeeassad | the Dedicated Graphics card is for gaming and other purposes | 15:40 |
| leftyfb | qazeeassad: how is your ATI Radeon connected to your laptop? | 15:40 |
| qazeeassad | it is present inside the laptop.. | 15:40 |
| qazeeassad | it is not an External Graphics card | 15:41 |
| leftyfb | how? | 15:41 |
| leftyfb | what type of connector? | 15:41 |
| qazeeassad | it is not External brother | 15:41 |
| leftyfb | what is the model of the graphics device? | 15:41 |
| littlejohnny | geirha, thanks | 15:41 |
| geirha | littlejohnny: it works now? | 15:41 |
| littlejohnny | geirha, yeah simple gtk manager did the trick | 15:42 |
| qazeeassad | wait.. i'll give you the details | 15:42 |
| geirha | littlejohnny: ok, so that means apt install lightdm-gtk-greeter xfce4-session on a fresh server install should be the minimum | 15:43 |
| qazeeassad | AMD Radeon™ R7 M440 Graphics (2 GB DDR3 dedicated) | 15:44 |
| qazeeassad | this is the model of my 2ndry graphics card | 15:44 |

| qazeeassad | no it doesn't | 15:47 |
| qazeeassad | lshw -C video only returns the VGA model | 15:47 |

| menzbua | Hey all, i have a problem with Ubuntu 17.10 mounting a smb share via CLI. When i connect to the share everything works. When i try to mount the share via CLI i got permission denied. | 15:51 |
| menzbua | on the server i see that the gui connects with some flags | 15:51 |
| menzbua | proto=ntlmv2 flags: ENC_128, NEG_VERSION, NEG_NTLM2, NEG_NTLM, NEG_TARGET, NEG_UNICODE | 15:51 |
| menzbua | when i mount via cli i did not see that flags | 15:51 |
| menzbua | kdc failed with -1561745663 proto=ntlmv2 | 15:52 |
| leftyfb | qazeeassad: what about lspci and maybe sudo lshw without specifying video? | 15:52 |
| qazeeassad | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/26133339/ | 15:52 |
| qazeeassad | still the same | 15:52 |
| leftyfb | that's still specifying video | 15:52 |
| leftyfb | and no lspci | 15:52 |
| menzbua | I mean when i mount the share via the GUI everything works. It not works when i mount via CLI. | 15:52 |
| allu2 | Was probably answer for my suggestion, next I'd look into grub and setting radeon.modeset=1 based on https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2374539 while there is a problem in the post with no solution, at least the card is detected | 15:53 |
| qazeeassad | leftyfb, I installed sysinfo, it collects and displays all the info about your pc | 15:53 |
| qazeeassad | there also I didn't find the 2nd Graphics Card | 15:54 |
| genii | menzbua: What command are you issuing | 15:54 |
| leftyfb | qazeeassad: could you pastebin lcpci -vv and sudo lshw to pastebin please? | 15:54 |
| menzbua | sudo mount.cifs //192.168.4.1/Daten frodo_daten/ -o username=user,password=password,file_mode=0644,dir_mode=0755,uid=1000,gid=1000,domain=WORKGROUP | 15:54 |
| leftyfb | allu2: step #1 is to confirm that the device is detected. So far, we're not seeing that. | 15:55 |
| genii | menzbua: Escape the spaces in the path | 15:55 |
| akik | menzbua: do you use the correct user for mounting? | 15:55 |
| leftyfb | qazeeassad: also, have you looked in your BIOS settings to see if there's any place to enable your device? | 15:55 |
| menzbua | there is no space in the path | 15:56 |
| akik | menzbua: you could also try using smbclient and see what is the problem maybe | 15:56 |
| qazeeassad | leftyfb, in lspci there it is... 01:00.0 Display controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Topaz XT [Radeon R7 M260/M265] (rev ff) | 15:56 |
| menzbua | yes, the user is correct. when i use this user via GUI it works | 15:56 |
| qazeeassad | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/26133359/ | 15:56 |
| qazeeassad | it means that Ubuntu did check it... and finds it in the system, but how can I make it work for me? | 15:57 |
| leftyfb | qazeeassad: what does glxinfo tell you? | 15:58 |
| leftyfb | actually hold on, don't do that | 15:58 |
| qazeeassad | there is a lot of info, and I am a newbie to Ubuntu | 15:59 |
| leftyfb | qazeeassad: glxinfo |egrep -i "opengl vendor|opengl renderer" | 16:00 |
| menzbua | when i use smbclient i see the flags too and it works | 16:01 |
| menzbua | kdc: ok user=FRODO\manuelmenz proto=ntlmv2 flags: ENC_128, NEG_VERSION, NEG_NTLM2, NEG_NTLM, NEG_TARGET, NEG_UNICODE | 16:01 |
| menzbua | it is the same behaviour as in the GUI mount | 16:02 |
| qazeeassad | assad@assad-HP-Notebook:~$ glxinfo |egrep -i "opengl vendor|opengl renderer" | 16:02 |
| qazeeassad | OpenGL vendor string: Intel Open Source Technology Center | 16:02 |
| qazeeassad | OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) HD Graphics 520 (Skylake GT2) | 16:02 |
| akik | menzbua: maybe the FRODO\ in the username should be removed? | 16:02 |
| === mnepton is now known as mneptok | ||
| leftyfb | qazeeassad: please, going forward, use pastebin for pasting data | 16:03 |
| qazeeassad | ok... | 16:04 |
| leftyfb | qazeeassad: now, try: export DRI_PRIME=1 ; glxinfo |egrep -i "opengl vendor|opengl renderer" | 16:04 |
| leftyfb | then pastebin the results | 16:04 |
| menzbua | in the mount i don't have FRODO in the username | 16:04 |
| menzbua | but i tried it with no and i have the same problem | 16:04 |
| menzbua | sudo mount.cifs //192.168.4.1/Daten frodo_daten/ -o username=FRODO\\user,password=password,file_mode=0644,dir_mode=0755,uid=1000,gid=1000,domain=WORKGROUP | 16:05 |

| menzbua | without domain sorry | 16:05 |
| akik | menzbua: what error do you seen in the samba log file? | 16:05 |
| qazeeassad | leftyfb, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/26133393/ | 16:06 |
| menzbua | also tried it with domain=FRODO | 16:06 |
| menzbua | same problem | 16:06 |
| leftyfb | qazeeassad: have you tried opening the "additional drivers" application? | 16:06 |
| qazeeassad | yes | 16:07 |
| leftyfb | does it show up there? | 16:07 |
| qazeeassad | there is only one Unknown device, it says... Using processor Microcode firmware for Intel CPUs from intel-microcode(proprietary) | 16:08 |
| qazeeassad | 2nd option is Do not use the device | 16:08 |
| qazeeassad | I think it is related something to CPU ??? | 16:08 |
| leftyfb | qazeeassad: To start, my thinking is you might not be able to use both displays at once. You MIGHT be able to switch between 1 running at a time. But I'm not sure. I don't buy anything with ATI. | 16:09 |
| qazeeassad | in Blender from Windows, I could use both.... but in Ubuntu it is not showing up | 16:10 |
| qazeeassad | although, even I don't buy ATI but I am stuck with this laptop | 16:11 |
| qazeeassad | so anyway, what would you suggest me do? | 16:11 |
| menzbua | do you mean the logfile of the server or of the client? | 16:12 |
| akik | menzbua: server | 16:12 |
| akik | menzbua: /var/log/samba/ | 16:13 |
| menzbua | it is an macos server | 16:13 |
| menzbua | the client is ubuntu 17.10 | 16:13 |
| akik | oops! | 16:13 |
| akik | menzbua: anyway, read the error from the server and then make a web search for it | 16:13 |
| qazeeassad | leftyfb, You there? | 16:14 |
| leftyfb | qazeeassad: I'm not sure. But I have to get back to work. One thing you might ask others in here for help with is maybe cherry-picking the appropriate changes from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI that might work with Ubuntu | 16:14 |
| menzbua | i tried that but i found nothing valuable for me | 16:14 |
| qazeeassad | thank you brother... you've been a lot of help | 16:14 |
| menzbua | https://pastebin.com/mT5UefXn | 16:14 |
| menzbua | that is what i see on the server when i try to connect via cli | 16:14 |

| akik | menzbua: somehow your gui and smbclient get "kdc ok" | 16:18 |
| Langley | Do I need to set it as executable or something? | 16:19 |
| menzbua | yes, and i don't understand what is the difference between gui/smbclient and mount.cifs operation | 16:19 |

| menzbua | is there a possibility to link a gui mounted device? | 16:28 |
| menzbua | my problem is i want to access the mountpoints via scp | 16:28 |
| akik | menzbua: can't you then access the server directly with scp? | 16:28 |
| menzbua | no, because only the ubuntu server has internet access | 16:29 |
| menzbua | i don't want face my old macos server to the internet | 16:29 |
| TsakNorris | Public Hotspot works with other devices. I also tested Google Dns | 16:31 |
| TsakNorris | It won't work with 17.10 Artful | 16:32 |
| TsakNorris | Linux Mint works in that public Hotspot. | 16:34 |
| menzbua | i think i will switch to sshfs | 16:36 |
| akik | menzbua: can you update the osx server os? | 16:39 |

| leftyfb | throstur: what version of ubuntu? | 17:06 |
| throstur | erm... let's see | 17:06 |

| leftyfb | throstur: can you copy/paste the entire error along with the command? | 17:08 |
| leftyfb | to pastebin.ubuntu.com | 17:08 |

| genii | Hm root | 17:09 |
| leftyfb | snapshot? VM? | 17:09 |
| throstur | I'm using a VM because we're setting up auto-configuration scripts for a hardware machine and it needs to be robust, so we got a bunch of VMs for testing | 17:09 |
| throstur | basically it's to prevent "oh it worked but a command failed so we worked around it" kind of comments in the documentation | 17:09 |

| jonfatino | Can anyone help me out with a bash script. So I have this ipmi script that checks to see if the server powered down. It loops until the server is powered down.

| throstur | jonfatino: you might want to try #bash | 17:14 |
| EriC^^ | jonfatino: for i in {0..1}; do <something>; sleep 1; done | 17:15 |
| EriC^^ | jonfatino: that's assuming you want it to check every second for 5 times | 17:15 |
| throstur | uhh... apt update isn't supposed to dump the core should it | 17:16 |
| EriC^^ | jonfatino: sorry it should be for i in {0..5};... | 17:16 |
| pagios | ANOYNE? | 17:17 |
| EriC^^ | jonfatino: actually {0..4} | 17:17 |
| jonfatino | EriC^^: its ok :-) I already posted in #bash | 17:17 |
| EriC^^ | alright, cool :) | 17:17 |

| pagios | throstur, i am trying to print in colors using linux on my toshiba printer | 17:18 |

| throstur | pagios: install CUPS, then install a driver for your printer (you will need to search for your printer model, most probably), then try to print in color | 17:19 |
| pagios | throstur, yea i have cups installed, the printer works fine in black n white | 17:21 |

| pagios | mine is studio 2000 | 17:36 |
| throstur | pagios: install it anyway | 17:37 |

| tomreyn | Thyriaen: "transitional", depends on ubuntu-desktop. so no, there is no separate ubuntu-gnome in addition to the default ubuntu desktop, which is gnome, in 17.10. | 19:16 |
| ioria | konrados, i think it's your bios, if you reboot and don't load the modules above, you'll get the same incomplete infos (wit) | 19:16 |

| nms | !info man | 19:19 |
| ubottu | Package man does not exist in artful | 19:19 |
| tomreyn | konrados: i was mostly serious when i suggested to buy a new computer. while the memory will cost no more than 20 or 30 USD, it means sepnding money on improving an 8 year old hardware platform. if money matters, this can be a good choice, if user experience is important, replacing the system is probably worth it (also from an energy efficiency aspect). | 19:20 |
| konrados | tomreyn: she already has a decent machine, it's only about upgrading this one for the smallest $ possible :P | 19:25 |
| tomreyn | konrados: i don't mean to argue, but 8year old is not decent, not by my measures. i recently changed from a 9yo desktop to a current one, and it's an entirely different experience. | 19:26 |
| konrados | tomreyn: what I meant is that she has TWO machines. One is OK, 16GB ram, ssd disks,...it's about upgrading this one for her daughter to watch YT with funny cats :P | 19:27 |
| tomreyn | oh i see | 19:27 |
| konrados | *by "this one" I mean the other one | 19:27 |
| konrados | I told her that increasing RAM from 2GB to 4GB will make a huge difference in this case. | 19:28 |
| alkisg | konrados: what's the cpu model? | 19:28 |
| konrados | because now stupid browsers can take about 1GB easily when just browsing sites. | 19:28 |
| konrados | alkisg: sec | 19:29 |
| alkisg | konrados: grep model /proc/cpuinfo | 19:29 |
| tomreyn | consider getting 8 (2x4) instead if it's compatible, the price will be very similar | 19:30 |
| konrados | alkisg: Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU E3200 @ 2.40GHz | 19:30 |
| konrados | tomreyn: yeah, this is what I'm about now :P | 19:30 |
| konrados | seems indeed the price is very similar :P | 19:30 |
| alkisg | https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Celeron+E3200+%40+2.40GHz => 1386 => good enough for simple browsing, so yeah 4 GB will help a bit | 19:30 |
| konrados | alkisg: but she's short on ram, realllly short | 19:30 |
| alkisg | DDR2 | 19:30 |
| konrados | alkisg: yeah :P | 19:31 |
| konrados | alkisg: tomreyn - thank you very very much again! | 19:31 |
| alkisg | np | 19:31 |
| Thyriaen | genii does that mean when i remove the ubuntu-gnome transitional package i get default gnome ? | 19:31 |
| tomreyn | konrados: welcome. consider an ssd, too (even one of the cheaper ones), or just a current hdd or sshd. | 19:32 |
| tomreyn | Thyriaen: it means that if you have the ubuntu-gnome transitional package installed then you already have ubuntu-desktop (the default desktop) installed, and dont need to make any changes. | 19:33 |
| Thyriaen | tomreyn, yes i think we are not getting eachother though :) i was refering to https://ubuntugnome.org/ :) | 19:33 |
| tomreyn | "The final stable non-LTS release is Ubuntu GNOME 17.04." | 19:34 |
| Thyriaen | yea - so i need to get just the normal "ubuntu" flavour :) | 19:35 |
| Thyriaen | but it changed the default ubuntu desktop a bit to make it more ubuntuy right ? :) so how can i remove those modifications ? | 19:35 |

| tomreyn | Numline1: this may be prometheus | 19:59 |
| davecore | and in there you see "can archive its metrics on graphite, opentsdb, prometheus" | 19:59 |

| konrados | 2 x 1.8V DDR2 DIMM sockets supporting up to 4 GB of system memory | 20:41 |
| bipolar | davecore: I saw that, but it's not the error I'm getting. Possibly related to the fix? | 20:41 |
| konrados | does it mean that when this machine has one 2gb mem device I can only buy another 2gb? | 20:41 |
| ioria | bipolar, your ceph version ? | 20:42 |
| lordcirth_work | konrados, yes, sadly | 20:42 |
| konrados | lordcirth_work: ooooooooh | 20:43 |
| konrados | lordcirth_work: thanks :P | 20:43 |
| konrados | this machine seems to be older than I thought o.O | 20:43 |
| bipolar | ioria: the cilents are using the ubuntu provided (ceph-fs-common 10.2.9-0ubuntu0.16.04.1). The server nodes are 10.2.6-1xenial as provided from the ceph repo. | 20:43 |

| swift110_ | sd card is not being read on ubuntu mate' whats going on | 21:43 |
| michael2 | i.e. when I look at security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pools, I see a subset of packages | 21:43 |
| dchapman | Not sure but right now I'm getting this when I try to update: The repository 'http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu vivid-security Release' does not have a Release file. | 21:44 |
| michael2 | are security updates fetched from here - or is security.ubuntu.com just an alias to archive.ubutnu.com | 21:44 |
| leftyfb | michael2: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#Install_updates_from: | 21:45 |
| leftyfb | michael2: https://askubuntu.com/questions/185317/are-security-ubuntu-com-updates-eventually-merged-into-normal-updates | 21:45 |
| Bashing-om | !vivid | dchapman | 21:45 |
| ubottu | dchapman: Ubuntu 15.04 (Vivid Vervet) was the 22nd release of Ubuntu. Support ended on February 4, 2016. See !eol, !eolupgrade and https://ubottu.com/y/vivid | 21:45 |
| kostkon | dchapman, vivid is not supported with updates anymore | 21:45 |
| leftyfb | vivid is not supported period | 21:46 |
| dchapman | Right, I'm on 16.04. So I've got something in my apt list that's wrong? | 21:46 |
| leftyfb | correct | 21:46 |
| kostkon | dchapman, pastebin it | 21:46 |
| Neo1 | I installed server apache, put there wp site and links don't work http://test.american-chat.ru/2017/12/07/hello-world/ | 21:49 |
| dchapman | kostkon: Found it at the top of the file. Heh, I'm trying to figure out how it got in there. Two lines for vivid. Mysterious. | 21:50 |
| michael2 | leftyfb: great links, thanks. the links explain - conceptually - what distinguishes a package from security.ubunutu.com from archive.ubuntu.com . but im interested to know if these are physically different files or is securuty.ubuntu.comn packages essentially symlinks to the same package in archive.ubuntu.com? | 21:50 |
| kostkon | dchapman, i'd call it that yeah | 21:50 |
| leftyfb | michael2: they're different repositories | 21:51 |
| michael2 | leftyfb: makes sense. so if the security maintainers patched say, libaudio package. they would add it to the security.ubuntu.com reoposity and increment its version number so that the apt-cache policy would just naturaly select the version from security repo over version from main? | 21:57 |
| Thedarkb | I have a PC with a realtek wifi adapter and I need to install the right drivers without internet access. | 21:57 |
| michael2 | an the fact they package exists in security repo is maintainers way of "announincing" this is a security patched package? | 21:58 |
| leftyfb | michael2: I'm not exactly sure how that works. My guess is either that, or maybe the security repo is weighted higher in priority somehow | 21:58 |
| michael2 | leftyfb: ok, thanks :) | 21:59 |

| PigDude | i see some code in there that looks like it's meant to detect an OS... anybody have experience with this? at install i was warned about replacing some legacy bios setup with UEFI, so i declined that (the message mentioned Debian oddly) | 22:26 |

I can't tell you which employees have that ability, and they probably have a policy that none of those employees will.
