| genewitch | is there a way to do it with the runlevel? | 00:03 |
| akik | genewitch: on 14.04 i think you can do it by disabling the upstart service in /etc/init | 00:05 |
| akik | genewitch: find out which login manager you have and then you can disable it | 00:05 |
| genewitch | the runlevel on the machine working correctly is 3, the one that is going to gnome is 2 | 00:06 |
| mirak | what is the way to disable secure boot from ubuntu ? | 00:08 |
| akik | genewitch: i think it's done by doing it with initctl or manually in /etc/init | 00:08 |
| mirak | without disabling it in the kernel | 00:08 |
| mirak | in the bios i mean | 00:08 |
| genewitch | akik: YAY! edit /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf; env DEFAULT_RUNLEVEL=2 | 00:10 |
| genewitch | i think gnome is still in the background, but now i don't need a keyboard attached to run games :-D | 00:11 |
| genewitch | i saw networkmanager pop up in the top right | 00:11 |
| genewitch | and the X is lightdm | 00:17 |
| genewitch | i wonder if i just remove it if that will fix it | 00:17 |
| akik | genewitch: you can echo "manual" to its file in /etc/init/lightdm.override | 00:18 |
| akik | genewitch: if the file is called /etc/init/lightdm.conf | 00:18 |
| genewitch | i'll try that :-D | 00:19 |
| grym | where can i get a list of version numbers for a particular apt package? I'm trying to install the latest libssl-dev but i can't on my architecture because one of its prerequisites isn't available. | 00:19 |
| grym | so perhaps i can roll back to an earlier version that supports the prerequisite at the version i have available to me | 00:19 |
| akik | genewitch: are you sure your application doesn't require xorg? :) | 00:20 |
| genewitch | akik: well in that https://paste.pound-python.org/show/07R8PjdDfloRxVRcCqen/ there's no xorg/x11 | 00:21 |
| genewitch | and that had the emulationstation running at the time | 00:21 |
| akik | genewitch: ok | 00:21 |
| genewitch | the reason i am using 14.04 is the GPU does not have drivers after 15.04 (or thereabouts) | 00:22 |
| genewitch | i tried running 16.04 and 17.10 and couldn't get the radeon drivers to install, emulationstation said "NO DRI" | 00:22 |
| genewitch | but that's ok. I'll get it figured out | 00:23 |
| mirak | what package is running grub-install ? | 00:23 |
| mirak | I mean running, for instance sometime it's automatically ran | 00:24 |
| genewitch | mirak: whenever the kernel updates | 00:24 |
| genewitch | or grub | 00:24 |
| _28Kb | i got my radeon GPU working in 16.04 by placing it on newer motherboard | 00:24 |
| mirak | genewitch, I want it to run as unsecure | 00:24 |
| mirak | unsecure boot | 00:24 |
| mirak | genewitch, is there a place to customise how it's ran ? | 00:25 |
| mirak | by the way where is stored the device where grub-install should be run on ? | 00:25 |
| _28Kb | how do I find my display's "host:dpy"? | 00:26 |
| genewitch | akik: so if i do "manual" in lightdm.override i get a login prompt on tty1 on reboot | 00:26 |
| _28Kb | !xcalib | 00:28 |
| akik | genewitch: yes. it won't start xorg then | 00:29 |
| akik | genewitch: without the "" | 00:29 |
| genewitch | yeah, maybe i should reinstall emulationstation so it touches all the correct files again | 00:31 |
| genewitch | because when you power on a device with emulationstation on ubuntu, it boots straight into emulationstation, there's no logins anywhere | 00:31 |
| genewitch | clean install! | 00:33 |
| tener | hi. quick question: how do i reset the gnome-terminal custom command while not being able to launch gnome-terminal? | 00:36 |
| tener | nvm: alt+f2 => 'gnome-terminal -e zsh' => go reset your dumb config mistake.. | 00:39 |
| genewitch | tener: | 00:39 |
| genewitch | is there no .file like .gnome-terminal? | 00:39 |
| genewitch | in your home directory? | 00:39 |
| _28Kb | genewitch, are you trying to override lightdm crash on logging in? | 00:40 |
| tener | genewitch: nope. also nothing in .config/ and no directories in gconftool other than .. alsa? or something | 00:40 |
| genewitch | tener: good to know glad you found it | 00:40 |
| genewitch | _28Kb: no i want emulationstation to start on boot, not lightdm | 00:40 |
| genewitch | i.e. i don't want xorg to start | 00:40 |
| genewitch | i'm asking on those forums/channels now, since this isn't an ubuntu issue per se | 00:41 |
| _28Kb | ok, that's something else.. I had problem recently related to radeon and lightdm boot issues | 00:41 |
| genewitch | what radeon? | 00:42 |
| genewitch | this is a 6300M or so | 00:42 |
| _28Kb | mine was HD5450... CEDAR chip | 00:42 |
| genewitch | yeah this one is a little later, you said you got 16.04 to work? | 00:43 |
| _28Kb | yes | 00:43 |
| _28Kb | i'm on it now | 00:43 |
| genewitch | HEY! it may be fixed! <fingers crossed> | 00:43 |
| genewitch | OMG OMG OMG! it's fixed! | 00:44 |
| _28Kb | :) | 00:44 |
| genewitch | so i changed the default runlevel to 3 | 00:44 |
| genewitch | and then reinstalled emulationstation | 00:44 |
| genewitch | and now it boots into arcade | 00:44 |
| _28Kb | you override Ubuntu :) | 00:46 |
| akik | genewitch: which package did you install on ubuntu to get retropie running? or is it just the emulationstation? | 00:55 |
| Tsuzuku | Hello, I am trying to install Ubuntu 17.10. I currently Have Windows 10, and Solus Os installed. I need to keep the Windows 10, but remove the Solus Os and replace it with Ubuntu. When I boot into my Live USB and try to install, with UEFI, it tells me that I already have something installed in the legacy bios mode. (which i believe is solus os) The install disk also only lets erase the entire disk instead of installing alongside windows | 01:29 |
| Tsuzuku | 10. what can i do | 01:29 |
| bozonius | a few weeks ago, my Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS system was purged of plymouth (which I later re-installed). Among the victims of the great purge was cron -- why is this? Here is the extract from the history log; cron is near the end of the list https://pastebin.com/DfR6evYp | 01:32 |
| bozonius | I ran dependency checks but could not find cron listed for plymouth. | 01:33 |

| bozonius | I will be leaving shortly, but you can leave a pm for me if you know the answer to this. Thanks. I've re-installed cron, so all is good again (I think, so long as no other needed items got purged also, and thats a long list to check...) | 01:48 |
| grym | hi all, i posted earlier. I'm trying to install libssl-dev on an ubuntu 16.04 isntallation on an ARMv8 machine. I cant', because of a dependency version conflict with libssl -- how do i resolve this? https://paste.pound-python.org/show/yiFIaQKcDq29FC3YtZyY/ | 01:51 |

| mentalita | what is this mousepad thingy based on?\ | 02:05 |
| grym | Bashing-om: does full-upgrade have a dry run option? | 02:10 |

| ubottu | jair: The Ubuntu channels can only provide support for Ubuntu and its official flavors, since other distributions and derivatives have repository and software changes.

| jair | Bashing-om: understood but it is happening in Ubuntu as well, this issue is related to the Kernel or systemctl | 03:15 |
| genewitch | akik: to get retropie running you need git (apt install git) and then: git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup.git | 03:29 |
| genewitch | akik: info here https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup | 03:29 |
| genewitch | akik: it bootstraps itself on an existing ubuntu install | 03:30 |
| akik | genewitch: ok thanks | 03:32 |
| genewitch | if you have ubuntu 14.04 there's a gotcha, but >=16.04 it's flawless | 03:32 |
| truexfan81 | without installing inxi whats the best way to get terminal to tell you which ubuntu version you are running? | 03:33 |
| genewitch | truexfan81: cat /etc/*release* | 03:34 |
| genewitch | that should work on all linuxes | 03:34 |
| akik | truexfan81: lsb_release -a | 03:34 |
| genewitch | lsb_release isn't portable :-p | 03:35 |
| akik | portable? | 03:36 |
| akik | it works on ubuntu | 03:36 |
| truexfan81 | we need to restart the tomcat service on my friend's dedi, so i'm trying to find out which version its running so i can then lookup the correct command cause service tomcat restart isn't it | 03:36 |
| truexfan81 | i'm used to systemd | 03:36 |
| genewitch | no pkill -sighup tomcat :-D | 03:37 |
| genewitch | right, both our commands give you the info, truexfan81 | 03:37 |
| genewitch | rc-service, /etc/init.d/tomcat ? | 03:38 |
| truexfan81 | will try as soon as he can log back in lol | 03:38 |
| truexfan81 | it just told him login failed | 03:38 |
| truexfan81 | my friend who is running a gameserver is a total noob at linux | 03:39 |
| genewitch | that's why you use a host that allows you to use webvnc or novnc, log in once, and then just close the vnc tab | 03:39 |
| truexfan81 | yeah hes actually using vnc | 03:40 |
| genewitch | then it doesn't matter if you lose the PW, because you can just reconnect to the webvnc and change the password | 03:40 |
| === r0Oter is now known as r00ter | ||
| genewitch | all moot if your provider reboots/moves your VM all the time | 03:40 |
| genewitch | like linode | 03:40 |
| truexfan81 | when i had my dedi hosting that same game, i didn't use vnc, i didn't even have a gui installed, difference is i used a cert to auth | 03:41 |
| genewitch | neither of these devices appear to have bluetooth | 03:46 |

| bobdobbs | streetwitch: are you used to admin work on your servers? | 04:49 |
| streetwitch | IubYup | 04:49 |
| bobdobbs | k | 04:49 |
| streetwitch | Can you help me get apache to run php files? | 04:49 |
| bobdobbs | yeah. but it depends on what you can already do. | 04:50 |
| streetwitch | I know my way around ubuntu | 04:50 |
| bobdobbs | but seriously, before you do anything, go skim read that doc and then take a break for at least 5 mins | 04:50 |
| bobdobbs | Can you do that? | 04:50 |
| streetwitch | Give me a link | 04:50 |
| streetwitch | I don't think the article is for ubuntu | 04:51 |
| bobdobbs | doesn't matter | 04:51 |
| bobdobbs | apache exists on many distro's | 04:51 |
| bobdobbs | If you are doing admin work (like getting php to work on apache) then yuo should be prepared to reading docs that apply to other distro's, and adapt them | 04:52 |
| streetwitch | Alright | 04:52 |
| streetwitch | one of those links is about security | 04:52 |
| bobdobbs | that makes sense | 04:52 |
| streetwitch | Right | 04:53 |
| streetwitch | I don't want to worry about that right now | 04:53 |
| bobdobbs | then don't use a webserver | 04:53 |
| streetwitch | bobdobbs | 05:02 |
| streetwitch | I'm reading it | 05:02 |
| streetwitch | and installed php-fpm | 05:02 |
| bobdobbs | great | 05:02 |
| streetwitch | Can you point me to the next step in the process? | 05:03 |
| streetwitch | It tells me php-fpm isn't a command | 05:03 |

| programo | Hi I have installed ubuntu 14.04 ,but when clicked on wifi icon , I do not see the enable wifi option | 05:56 |
| programo | Can any body help me with this issue? | 05:56 |
| kazuma_desu | programo, nobody ever helps in ubuntu | 05:56 |
| kazuma_desu | programo, try #archlinux | 05:56 |
| kazuma_desu | ironic but they help me in past | 05:56 |
| kazuma_desu | even though i dont use archlinux | 05:56 |
| programo | when I searched the internet I got this info | 05:57 |
| programo | https://askubuntu.com/questions/626642/how-to-install-broadcom-wireless-drivers-offline | 05:57 |
| programo | but did not help much | 05:57 |
| kazuma_desu | nobody will help programo dont waste your time | 05:57 |
| programo | I will try asking in the archlinux chat room | 05:57 |
| Ben64 | programo: don't do that | 05:58 |
| kazuma_desu | Ben64, then help programo | 05:58 |
| kazuma_desu | if not then programo should just ask in archlinux they probably know more than most people in ubuntu. im not smart enough to use arch and came back to ubuntu | 05:59 |
| Ben64 | theres a general ##linux channel, don't go to a channel and ask about a different distro, it's rude | 05:59 |
| kazuma_desu | its also rude not to help people? Ben64 | 05:59 |
| kazuma_desu | would you rather them end up back in windows? | 05:59 |
| kazuma_desu | you prob dont care | 05:59 |

| Ben64 | because they muted you | 06:08 |
| programo | after my first message I was not able to talk on that channel | 06:08 |
| programo | okay tell me where I have to go to get my issue resolved? | 06:09 |
| programo | Ben64, | 06:09 |
| Ben64 | #ubuntu probably | 06:09 |
| programo | anywhere else? | 06:10 |
| Ben64 | this is the best place for ubuntu support | 06:10 |
| Ben64 | theres also https://ubuntuforums.org and https://askubuntu.com/ | 06:10 |

| kazuma_desu | programo, sorry that arch muted you | 06:13 |
| kazuma_desu | they seem angry | 06:13 |
| Ben64 | there is support here | 06:13 |
| kazuma_desu | german gehidore is on their | 06:13 |
| Ben64 | and they muted because ubuntu isn't archlinux, like i told you | 06:13 |

| kazuma_desu | they never cared months back | 06:13 |
| kazuma_desu | they always helped really any distro | 06:13 |

| kazuma_desu | i even locked and then unlocked | 06:34 |
| lotuspsychje | kazuma_desu: have you read what i just said? | 06:35 |
| kazuma_desu | what is dash icon | 06:35 |
| lotuspsychje | kazuma_desu: unity dash is the bar on your left side, you can press the programs icon to minimize/maximize fast, thats what you want right? | 06:36 |
| kazuma_desu | it doesnt do that! | 06:36 |
| kazuma_desu | im clicking hexchat | 06:36 |
| kazuma_desu | over and overagain | 06:37 |
| kazuma_desu | and it doesnt minimize or maxmize it | 06:37 |
| kazuma_desu | same with chromium | 06:37 |
| kazuma_desu | i want the buttons on the right side | 06:38 |

| lotuspsychje | kazuma_desu: you seen the existing bug | 06:40 |
| kazuma_desu | so ubuntu will never fix it? | 06:40 |
| kazuma_desu | or has no workarounds? | 06:40 |

| PissWizard | where is the monitor resolution set? setting it in the settings->display isn't correctly reporting it to my Wine game, and Ubuntu originally detects my older of two Dell 24" monitors as having the same resolution when it does not {newer one is only 1920x1080 while the old one is 1920x1200}. | 07:27 |
| PissWizard | If settings->Display won't properly change my monitor resolution, where do I go to make sure my Wine games get the right message? Someone on WineHQ mentioned X11 and desktop manager, but I'm not familiar with these things. | 07:28 |
| === Jochen_wvdT is now known as Schlawiner | ||
| === altmasteroman is now known as masteroman | ||
| PissWizard | OMFG how do I even search for info on what settings->display uses to change resolution in Ubuntu? | 07:38 |
| Ben64 | what are you actually trying to accomplish | 07:41 |
| PissWizard | I'm trying to get my Wine game to display in the native resolution of 1920x1200 instead of resizing 1920x1080 to 1920x1200 and having everything look messed up. | 07:44 |
| PissWizard | despite setting my 1920x1200 monitor to the correct resolution in xfce, wine's not getting the message. I don't know where it's checking. | 07:44 |
| PissWizard | .... oh. I wonder if that's because it only checks the resolution of the 1st monitor... hmmm. | 07:45 |
| Ben64 | yeah it's gonna be a wine/game setting you're looking for | 07:45 |
| PissWizard | I can't manually change it in my Wine game either. It's stuck at 1920x1080. | 07:45 |
| Ben64 | what game is it | 07:46 |
| PissWizard | World of Warcraft | 07:46 |
| PissWizard | yeah. for windowed{fullscree}, I'm unable to change the resolution. | 07:46 |
| PissWizard | Wine only has the option to make a virtual desktop, which seems to put me on the primary monitor {which means my Ubuntu UI is hidden behind the game, although I guess it might be an imperfect solution for now...} | 07:47 |
| Ben64 | use winecfg to set a virtual desktop size of whatever you want | 07:47 |
| PissWizard | also have no idea if a viritual desktop is going to resize it down to 1920x1080 and then back up to 1920x1200. | 07:48 |
| Ben64 | it wont | 07:48 |
| PissWizard | well I tried to change my primary monitor and it still didn't let me play the game on it. | 07:50 |
| PissWizard | looks like a virtual desktop is going to force me to play on the left-most monitor. what a mess. | 07:50 |
| Ben64 | should be able to drag the window over | 07:51 |
| PissWizard | it's "windowed{fullscreen}" and there's only 1 monitor it reports. | 07:51 |
| Ben64 | google also tells me there is "gxResolution" you can set in the game | 07:51 |
| PissWizard | what search engine will let me search for gxResolution without autocorrecting to "resolution"? | 07:52 |
| PissWizard | oh you said google. | 07:52 |
| PissWizard | wonder why start page doesn't let me, since it uses google. | 07:52 |
| PissWizard | *gasp* I think gxResolution setting fixed it! thanks! yeah, fonts look normal again at least on the main menu. | 07:57 |
| PissWizard | Thanks. I really suck at researching things, so you being able to find gxResolution as a solution was something I wasn't able to easily do. | 08:02 |

| Styils | Hello, I was wondering if someone could help me out here. Upon selecting ubuntu in grub, I am getting a purple screen of death | 09:38 |
| === Styils is now known as Styil | ||
| Styil | I have tried turning off splash quiet in grub but no avail | 09:40 |
| k_sze_ | Erm... | 09:41 |
| k_sze_ | The gcc-4.8 *package* doesn't come with g++-4.8? | 09:41 |
| EriC^^ | x | 09:49 |
| alkisg | unimatrix9: xml files are formatted based on xslt files, and firefox of course supports that, if you give it the xslt | 09:53 |
| alkisg | Styil: and what's the error message when you remove quiet splash? | 09:55 |
| Styil | alkisg: nothing, I just get a purple screen | 09:56 |
| alkisg | Styil: i doubt it's purple when you remove quiet splash | 09:56 |
| Styil | much of the problem is getting a debug screen to see what is going wrong | 09:56 |
| alkisg | purple is there when you still have it | 09:56 |
| Styil | could also be that I failed to update grub | 09:56 |
| alkisg | Press e on grub | 09:56 |
| alkisg | And remove quiet splash and press f10 | 09:56 |
| EriC^^ | Styil: you can add it on the fly | 09:56 |
| alkisg | btw, does recovery mode work, from grub? | 09:57 |
| Styil | yes recovery mode works | 09:58 |
| alkisg | and what about "continue" after recover? | 09:58 |
| alkisg | *recovery? | 09:58 |
| Styil | Hmm, I believe it puts me back into root terminal but I need to double check if it gives me an error or not | 09:59 |
| mentalita | does anyone know of a file manager that lets you group custom actions? | 10:08 |
| alkisg | Sure, nautilus and caja | 10:08 |
| mentalita | nautilus is one level deeper than it should be right off the bat | 10:09 |
| mentalita | because of that 'Nautilus Custom Actions' | 10:09 |
| alkisg | I don't know what that means | 10:09 |
| mentalita | I also tried to install it | 10:09 |
| mentalita | but it wouldn't show any custom action | 10:09 |
| mentalita | caja can't do it as well | 10:10 |
| alkisg | Where did you put the custom actions, in which folder? | 10:10 |
| BluesKaj | 'Morning folks | 10:10 |
| mentalita | alkisg: I configured them with nautilus custom action config tool | 10:11 |
| mentalita | alkisg: like this https://askubuntu.com/questions/984560/how-to-group-custom-actions-in-thunar | 10:11 |
| alkisg | mentalita: what's the output of this? ls .config/caja/scripts/ | 10:11 |
| alkisg | I'm not talking about thunar | 10:11 |
| mentalita | wait a sec | 10:12 |
| mentalita | alkisg: bash: .config/caja/scripts/: No such file or directory | 10:14 |
| alkisg | Then you never configured caja to run custom actions | 10:14 |
| alkisg | Put them there. | 10:14 |
| mentalita | alkisg: I put the config file from thunar there but its not working http://i.imgur.com/9hiBK63.png | 10:17 |
| mentalita | alkisg: wrong paste | 10:18 |
| Styil | So hitting e for Ubuntu in grub doesn’t show any “splash quiet” | 10:18 |
| Styil | And yet I get no debug screen during boot | 10:18 |
| mentalita | alkisg: http://i.imgur.com/xCl2IUW.png | 10:18 |
| mentalita | alkisg: and I can't configure those extensions they're grayed out http://i.imgur.com/IZErDM6.png | 10:19 |
| mentalita | mentalita@mentalita-pc:~$ ls .config/caja/scripts | 10:20 |
| mentalita | accels uca.xml | 10:20 |
| alkisg | Metacity: in .config/caja/scripts, you put bash scripts (actions) | 10:23 |
| alkisg | Not xml files | 10:23 |
| mentalita | ok let me try | 10:24 |
| Styil | I’m thinking that it may be some error in grub itself and not Ubuntu | 10:24 |
| Styil | Though I still can’t see why this won’t boot | 10:24 |
| mentalita | alkisg: hm I think I got it but can you put icons? | 10:25 |
| alkisg | No | 10:26 |
| mentalita | alkisg: also my caja-actions folder is in .config/ | 10:26 |
| alkisg | mentalita: caja scripts is included in caja, it's not a plugin. It's not caja-actions. | 10:30 |
| alkisg | We are talking about a different thing now. | 10:30 |
| mentalita | huh well y..yes | 10:31 |
| alkisg | I have never tried or seen caja actions, I don't know anything about it | 10:32 |
| alkisg | I've been using nautilus and caja scripts for ages though | 10:32 |
| alkisg | Caja scripts support subdirs which then are shown as submenus | 10:33 |
| alkisg | So it's handy for groupping when you have lots of them | 10:34 |
| SimonNL | apt show Caja-extensions-common in terminal, does that show what you want to know. | 10:36 |
| SimonNL | mentalita: ^ | 10:36 |
| === Elimin8r is now known as Elimin8er | ||
| mentalita | alkisg: I can't get to show them again, I removed everything and installed bare caja and I have a script with no extension `echo "#!/usr/bin/python" > py2script.py` in .config/caja/Scripts/ | 10:36 |
| mentalita | SimonNL: I removed all the plugins, what is it supposed to show? | 10:36 |
| alkisg | mentalita: did you chmod +x it? | 10:37 |
| SimonNL | info about that package mentalita | 10:37 |
| mentalita | alkisg: 'it' as in what? | 10:37 |
| alkisg | mentalita: chmod +x .config/caja/scripts/py2script.py | 10:38 |
| alkisg | Also, lowercase scripts, not Scripts | 10:38 |
| mentalita | ok | 10:39 |
| mentalita | it's there | 10:39 |
| mentalita | so no root level organising | 10:40 |
| mentalita | it has to be inside Scripts | 10:40 |
| alkisg | Inside scripts you can have a whole hierarchy | 10:40 |
| alkisg | With any number of subdirs you want | 10:40 |

Anyone understand what he means? I'm guessing "save off" is just "keep these files" but in step 8 it says to copy the drivers directory which doesn't exist. | 10:40 |
| alkisg | So yes, a lot of organizing there :) | 10:40 |
| mentalita | huh | 10:43 |
| mentalita | can't I configure the icon | 10:43 |
| mentalita | wtf | 10:43 |

| mentalita | im this close to building my own file manager | 10:43 |
| mentalita | i swear | 10:43 |
| alkisg | (12:25:49 μμ) mentalita: alkisg: hm I think I got it but can you put icons? ==> (12:26:45 μμ) alkisg: No | 10:47 |
| mentalita | alkisg: ok instead of echo shebang > py2script.py I have a python script writing the shebang into a file | 10:48 |
| mentalita | that's something | 10:48 |
| mentalita | but I'm on my way to build my own thing | 10:48 |
| mentalita | this is all crap | 10:48 |
| alkisg | If you want a custom extension, you can surely build one | 10:49 |
| mentalita | also it doesn't show thumbnails correctly | 10:49 |
| mentalita | thumbnail for .py files is generic | 10:49 |
| mentalita | like | 10:49 |
| mentalita | gray icon | 10:49 |
| mentalita | that's all | 10:49 |
| alkisg | Then you don't have correct file associations | 10:49 |
| mentalita | where can I set that? | 10:49 |
| mentalita | http://i.imgur.com/pfVw11D.png | 10:50 |
| alkisg | I'm not using xfce, I don't know where you set file associations there | 10:52 |
| Styil | Alright so can someone here help me out? | 11:36 |
| Styil | I get a purple screen upon trying to boot into Ubuntu | 11:36 |
| Styil | I have splash quiet off | 11:36 |
| Styil | Or at least I believe I do | 11:36 |
| Styil | Recovery mode works fine it seems | 11:36 |
| Styil | nomodeset is also enabled | 11:37 |
| Styil | Hmm | 11:44 |
| Styil | Seems the old kernel actually boots | 11:44 |
| Styil | Oh nevermind, seems booting into the old kernel hen rebooting into the new one fixed stuff | 11:46 |
| Styil | Actually it seems I am not out of the woods yet | 11:51 |
| Styil | My problem seems to lie in the fact that boot/efi failed to mount | 11:52 |
| EriC^^ | Styil: failed why | 11:56 |
| EriC^^ | try sudo mount /boot/efi | 11:56 |
| Styil_ | EriC^^: tried it | 12:03 |
| === Styil_ is now known as Styil | ||
| Styil | IO charset iso8859-1 not found | 12:03 |
| Styil | mount: /boot/efi: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/nvme0n1p1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error. | 12:04 |
| Styil | The odd thing is that the old kernel boots just fine | 12:05 |

| GrandPa-G | I am trying to do a cat inside a script while running under apache2. The apache id is www-data. The file has -rw-rw-r-- 1 me:www-data. Any why I get permission denied? | 13:48 |
| tomreyn | GrandPa-G: that's a CGI shell script? | 14:08 |
| GrandPa-G | no, it is an exec() in php | 14:08 |
| tomreyn | which type of php? mod, cgi, fpm? | 14:09 |
| tomreyn | got open_basedir restrictions? | 14:09 |
| tomreyn | where do you see "permission denied", can you show it? | 14:09 |
| GrandPa-G | I don't understand. Just a regualr php script file | 14:09 |
| GrandPa-G | cat: /home/grimesr/openvpn-ca/keys/ta.key: Permission denied | 14:10 |
| tomreyn | so it's a local issue, running this as the www-data or 'me' does not work either? | 14:11 |
| tomreyn | *as the ... user | 14:11 |
| tomreyn | rephrasing: so it's a file system permission issue, running this as the 'www-data' or 'me' user does not work either? | 14:11 |
| tomreyn | chances are that /home/grimesr/openvpn-ca/keys is not accesible by at least one of these users | 14:12 |
| GrandPa-G | running as me works. | 14:13 |
| GrandPa-G | the file has rw for www-data | 14:13 |
| tomreyn | it's not just the file that matters, also the directory it resides in | 14:14 |
| tomreyn | if php runs as www-data and www-data cannot access the directory, it cannot access the file either. | 14:15 |
| GrandPa-G | directory has drwxrwxr-x 2 me www-data | 14:15 |
| tomreyn | so which user does php run as? (phpinfo() would tell) | 14:16 |
| GrandPa-G | it runs as www-data. I think it is an apache issue so I will look there. | 14:16 |
| alkisg | GrandPa-G: you can use `sudo -u www-data bash` to "login" as apache and run the file manually, to check permissions in files, dirs etc | 14:17 |
| alkisg | E.g. you may see that cd /home/username gives you access denied then | 14:17 |
| GrandPa-G | I think it is how apache has access to directory via apache conf. | 14:17 |
| tomreyn | phpinfo() should also tell you about open_basedir and about which variant of php you're using (apache 'php'or 'suphp' module, (f)cgi(d), php-fpm) | 14:17 |
| GrandPa-G | I am changing that conf | 14:18 |
| GrandPa-G | You don't need to think anymore about this. But, do you know anything about systemd service files? | 14:18 |
| tomreyn | personally, not much, but ask your actual question and someone may answer it. | 14:19 |
| GrandPa-G | FYI:the permission issue relates to how apache conf specifies what directories can be accessed (somewhat indepentent of file permissions). I moved files to another folder that is accesspable and all is well. | 14:22 |
| alkisg | Nah, I don't believe that | 14:23 |
| GrandPa-G | for a service, I need to access a host on the internet. I need to wait until the server's dns connection is complete before my service starts otherwise the dns lookup in my app will fail. Setting waiting for network doesn't work as it is too early. What do I specifiy to wait for in the service file? | 14:23 |
| alkisg | I think sudo above would give you access denied too | 14:24 |
| alkisg | wait for network-online | 14:27 |
| GrandPa-G | network-online (from what I have learned) just means that the interface has been established. Still too early from my experiments. | 14:28 |

| lotuspsychje | rainbowwarrior: have you enabled 'Store the password for all users' | 15:54 |

| BluesKaj | rainbowwarrior, did you install network-manager-vpn, seems PIA requires that | 15:56 |
| BluesKaj | rainbowwarrior, correction , network-manager-openvpn | 15:58 |
| rainbowwarrior | yes, but it will not let me enter my password | 16:02 |
| BluesKaj | rainbowwarrior, has PIA sent your username and pw by email , I hve to ask | 16:05 |
| rainbowwarrior | yes | 16:05 |
| boboma | lotuspsychje, same problem with xorg. | 16:06 |
| rainbowwarrior | BluesKaj, : yes | 16:06 |
| boboma | lotuspsychje, it also says this: pam_unix(gdm-launch-environment:session): session opened for user gdm by bbb(uid=0) | 16:07 |
| boboma | but in fact the user I am trying to do this switch from is not bbb but aaa | 16:07 |
| boboma | means user aaa should open the session for gdm or am I wrong with that assumption? | 16:08 |
| BluesKaj | rainbowwarrior, are you sure you don't have the PIA gui on autoconnectand it's already connected or does PIA still show a red icon? | 16:11 |
| rainbowwarrior | i don't even have a red box saying its on etc | 16:18 |
| rainbowwarrior | and in the settings it will not let me add a password | 16:18 |

| kristijanz | what happens to me is whenever I put the cursor near the dash to dock, my cursor jumps to the nearest icon and the mouse spped is reduced while hovering over dash to dock. | 16:47 |

| kristijanz | to take adwantage of multiple cores | 16:55 |
| kristijanz | currently it can't | 16:55 |
| stephen101 | So why does it show me 0 on cpu2? | 16:55 |

| david242 | c2tarun: no, I can't even built it, running make says `No targets specified and no makefile found.` | 19:30 |
| quim | What is the fastest remote control in ubuntu? I tried x2go but for video is not good, I tried ltsp but it doesn't goes as fast as I expect | 19:30 |
| c2tarun | david242: what is output of pwd command? | 19:30 |
| quim | I tried vnc and the same | 19:31 |
| david242 | ~/Downloads/miraclecast-master | 19:31 |
| quim | xrdp too | 19:31 |
| david242 | I downloaded a zip of the master branch, extracted it, ran ./autogen.sh, ./configure, and running make fails as mentioned above | 19:31 |
| quim | several clients vinagre, remmina, and all have the same problem | 19:32 |
| david242 | c2tarun: I also tried downloading v1.0 release from 2016, same issue with make. | 19:34 |
| david242 | I'm not sure how to use make, anyone here familiar with make? | 19:34 |
| alkisg | quim: when you used ltsp, did you put LDM_DIRECTX=True in lts.conf? That's the fastest there is, in LAN | 19:35 |
| alkisg | Were you able to watch a video with VLC without dropped frames? If not, you did something wrong. | 19:35 |
| alkisg | quim: also, it's best to use the same username each day, so that people know where you left off and what you want to continue | 19:36 |
| quim | yes I am jeremies sorry | 19:36 |
| c2tarun | david242: Hey, sorry I am also not able to build it here. I think it might have to do something with libudev and libsystemd dependencies, but even after installing them its not working. | 19:38 |
| david242 | c2tarun: thanks for you help! that's too bad, guess I'll just give up and buy a miracast dongle :/ | 19:39 |
| c2tarun | david242: what are you trying to do BTW? | 19:39 |
| david242 | c2tarun I was going to play around and see if I could use it as a sink | 19:39 |
| david242 | c2tarun build and install miraclecast and try to use an old PC as a miracast sink | 19:40 |
| c2tarun | david242: It might be worth shooting an email to developer. | 19:41 |
| quim | alkisg: ltsp is faster than windows remote client? | 19:41 |
| david242 | c2tarun: well my issue is I can't see any build errors; the make command is giving me a generic error about no target specified. dont want to bother them with that | 19:42 |
| david242 | and I'm not really willing to invest more any more time to build it; haven't even started trying to get it configured and running | 19:43 |
| david242 | which would probably take even more time | 19:43 |
| quim | alkisg: No I used the default option, LDM_DIRECTX=False | 19:43 |
| quim | alkisg: I will try this, thank you | 19:43 |
| stephen101 | Well my bios don't let you play with much. :-/ basically can only disable secure boot. | 19:44 |
| david242 | c2tarun thanks again for your help, I really appreciated it! good bye | 19:45 |
| c2tarun | In ubuntu 17.10 gnome-shell RAM usage is continuously growing over last two days for me. It started from 260 MB and now its almost 1.2 GB. Is anybody else noticing this? | 19:46 |
| alkisg | jeremies: yes, ltsp is faster than windows rdp | 19:58 |
| alkisg | (only on LAN) | 19:58 |
| alkisg | You can only watch (decoded, uncompressed) video with LTSP on LAN, nothing else manages to do it properly | 19:59 |
| jeremies | alkisg: and if I run a virtualbox running the 32bit ubuntu mate will work? | 19:59 |
| alkisg | Virtualbox inside windows as a server? | 20:00 |
| jeremies | virtualbox inside ubuntu 64bit | 20:00 |
| alkisg | Sure, as long as you configure it properly | 20:00 |
| jeremies | alkisg: thank you very much, for your help I will try that | 20:02 |
| alkisg | np | 20:02 |
| alkisg | jeremies: try watching a small video, e.g. 640x480, stretched full screen at e.g. 1024x768. You shouldn't get any dropped frames. | 20:03 |
| alkisg | If you do get dropped frames, then you configured something wrong | 20:03 |
| jeremies | alkisg: ok | 20:03 |
| fly__ | Hi folks. could someone who has gcc installed on 17.whatever provide the output of "gcc -dumpspecs"? TIA | 21:00 |
| capella | I have no idea what this is but you asked https://pastebin.mozilla.org/9074456 | 21:03 |
| fly__ | thanks! | 21:04 |

| Styil | Hello, I have a problem with my Ubuntu. Whenever booting apparently my system fails to mount /boot/ego | 21:25 |
| quarters | hello. I was wondering how to recover a luks partition | 21:25 |
| Styil | I mean /boot/efi | 21:25 |
| quarters | i rewrote the partition table using testdisk and didn't realize how destructive it was | 21:26 |
| Styil | It works with an older kernel, but fails here | 21:26 |
| Styil | Is there a command to repair the efi? | 21:27 |
| devan3637 | ok so why is it that systemd and dm-crypt still refuse to get along? | 21:29 |
| devan3637 | why is it after many attempts to find a fix, there's none and Im still dealing with start jobs with dm-crypt on boot? | 21:29 |
| devan3637 | is this some political bullshit going on with governments and privacy ? | 21:30 |

| nsnzero | hi guys i am looking for a zsh plugin that drops a menu of recently used commands based on the text typed in - i just cannot remember the name | 21:32 |
| devan3637 | and I dont understand whats trying to decrypt the targeted partition: initramfs or systemd or both | 21:32 |
| CarlFK | sudo apt remove libperl5.22 ... dpkg: error processing package libperl5.22:amd64 (--remove): package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should reinstall it before attempting a removal | 21:33 |
| devan3637 | if checked and there's major dependency issues going on with journalctl | 21:33 |
| CarlFK | um.. how do I reinstall ? | 21:34 |
| devan3637 | i remember the days when linux and luks were best friends, now it seems linux wants nothing to do with disk encryption and this whole crap seems to have started when truecrypt went bellyup right around the time when Ian Murdock died right around the time windows 10 rolled out | 21:38 |
| Glamdring | Silly question, but does Virtualbox still exist? If not, how best to make do without? | 21:39 |
| Glamdring | I can't find it in the list anymore... | 21:40 |
| devan3637 | so can somebody help get me out of the tinfoil hat paranoia and help me figure out why systemd and dm-crypt aint working like they should and what to do about it | 21:40 |
| devan3637 | because sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't | 21:40 |
| EriC^^ | Glamdring: yeah it exists | 21:40 |
| devan3637 | and that makes me paranoid | 21:40 |
| EriC^^ | !info virtualbox | 21:40 |
| ubottu | virtualbox (source: virtualbox): x86 virtualization solution - base binaries. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 5.1.30-dfsg-1 (artful), package size 15950 kB, installed size 72743 kB | 21:41 |
| Glamdring | I wonder why Synaptic can't find it. | 21:41 |
| nsnzero | Glamdring: try qemu | 21:41 |
| EriC^^ | Glamdring: do you have the multiverse repo enabled? ( sudo add-apt-repository multiverse ) | 21:41 |
| EriC^^ | then sudo apt-get update | 21:41 |
| Glamdring | I'm also curious about nsnzero's mention of qemu, but I'm following EriC^^'s instructions at this moment. | 21:42 |
| Glamdring | Been aching to play Cyberstorm again, and Wine *just can't handle it.* | 21:42 |
| Glamdring | It cannae do it. It doesn't have the powah. | 21:42 |
| Glamdring | nsnzero: While virtualbox installs, what's qemu like? | 21:43 |
| nsnzero | Glamdring: i think i qemu runs as a kernel module - so less overhead but i warn you its complicated | 21:44 |
| Glamdring | I think I'll settle for simple. Pretty sure I have a working virtualbox machine on my hard drive already anyway. | 21:45 |
| Glamdring | Just not, y'know, virtualbox itself. | 21:45 |
| nsnzero | Glamdring: its just been so long since i used it but i am sure someone here knows its in and outs better than me | 21:45 |
| Joaquin-V | hi. I'm on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and I want to upgrade to Ubuntu 17.04 (not 17.10, I want to keep Unity.) is there a way to upgrade to a specific version? | 21:46 |
| ChunkzZ | is there a way to network share that's not difficult but easy? samba configuring seems pretty hard... | 21:46 |
| Glamdring | Heh. Looks like it's doing a scandisk. | 21:46 |
| Joaquin-V | wait, actually now that I think about it what I wanna do is replace Unity so nevermind | 21:46 |
| nsnzero | ChunkzZ: the file manager as a option to share files and folders - right click and its there somewhere | 21:48 |
| dh128 | hello! i had a question about persistent live USBs and booting to ram. | 21:49 |
| devan3637 | is there a ubuntu that still runs on the good ole UNIX System V init? | 21:50 |
| dh128 | so, i understand both booting to ram and the persistent partition (casper) on a USB. my question is, when i boot to ram on a persistent disk, i can no longer write back to the USB, right? since everything is loaded into RAM? | 21:50 |
| devan3637 | yaknow back when luks worked? | 21:50 |
| jeremies | alkisg: I installed MATE in vbox and configured with LDM_DIRECTX=True but the video in youtube plays slowly. | 21:50 |
| Bashing-om | Joaquin-V: Set the release-upgrades to normal . See ' cat /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades ' . | 21:52 |
| devan3637 | is it possible to safely replace systemd with sysvinit-core in ubuntu using mate instead of gnome | 22:02 |
| devan3637 | because gnome is heavily Dependant of systemd but it seems to be the damn defacto init system for most popular distros - quite disturbing | 22:03 |
| jeremies | alkisg: playing the video with vlc plays good, but with firefox no. | 22:05 |
| jeremies | why ltsp plays video well with vlc but not with firefox? | 22:06 |
| devan3637 | jeremies, EME aka Web DRM as supported W3C might be to blame for all the video crap quality | 22:08 |
| Styil | Hello, when on the login screen, how do I access a terminal, control alt F1? | 22:11 |
| akik | Styil: yes it accesses the virtual console | 22:12 |
| Styil | Doesn’t work for me | 22:12 |
| akik | Styil: what does it do for you? | 22:12 |
| ChunkzZ | can someone have a look at my samba config and tell me why ubuntu is refusing the connection? | 22:12 |
| Styil | akik: nothing, it just stays in the Ubuntu login screen | 22:13 |
| akik | Styil: press ctrl and alt together and while keeping them pressed, press f1 | 22:13 |
| ChunkzZ | https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/jNH9jCxR/ | 22:13 |
| Styil | I know it picks up my input since when I hit Ctrl alt f2 the screen goes black and hitting ctrl alt f1 goes back to the Ubuntu login screen | 22:13 |
| ChunkzZ | can someone take a look? ^ | 22:13 |
| Bashing-om | Styil: 17.10 ? then try ctl+alt+F2 .. as F1 is now the GUI . | 22:14 |
| akik | what... | 22:14 |
| Styil | Yes, 17.10. Control alt f2 just gives me a black screen though | 22:14 |
| Phylter | ChunkzZ, you're trying to connect via another device? What's that device/computer's ip address? | 22:14 |
| ChunkzZ | Phylter: want to share to Kodi | 22:15 |
| Phylter | ChunkzZ, cool! Can you answer my two questions, please? | 22:15 |
| akik | ubuntu changes things because well we don't have any reason but we can | 22:16 |
| ChunkzZ | sorry; 192.168.0.28 is the IP of the rpi 2 box... | 22:16 |
| Phylter | ChunkzZ, then line 5 is your culprit. | 22:16 |
| akik | ubuntu 16.04 has the xorg on f7 and it's supported until 2021 | 22:16 |
| Bashing-om | Styil: Don't know .. same when F4 console ? | 22:16 |
| ChunkzZ | interfaces Phylter ? | 22:17 |
| Styil | Have tried it with all function keys, all black | 22:17 |
| Styil | Gonna try to see if I can change something in grub | 22:17 |
| Phylter | ChunkzZ, try changing it to 'interfaces = 192.168.0.0/24 eth0' without the quotes. | 22:17 |
| ChunkzZ | Phylter: shouldn't it be 28? | 22:18 |
| Phylter | no, that's your netmask not your address | 22:18 |
| Phylter | it basically says that anything connecting to the rpi box has to have the same ip address up to and including the third octet.. 192.168.0. | 22:18 |
| Phylter | That's also why it wasn't allowing any connections. | 22:20 |
| Styil | Solved it by enabling textmode in grub | 22:21 |
| ChunkzZ | thanks Phylter ! | 22:21 |
| Styil | I guess it’s because I am using AMDGPU for my driver and it messes things up | 22:22 |
| Phylter | Let me know if it works. | 22:22 |
| Phylter | By the way, if you change it you'll have to restart smbd or you'll have to reboot. | 22:22 |
| ChunkzZ | it worked, thanks dude. :) | 22:22 |
| Phylter | You're welcome. | 22:22 |
| uRock | When entering a file path in smb.conf, should directories with spaces in them be entered as "Folder\ Name" or just "Folder Name"? | 22:43 |
| tonyt | someone cant make up their mind whethere they want to be in here or not lol | 22:52 |
