[00:00] <genewitch> anyhow lemme google some
[00:03] <genewitch> is there a way to do it with the runlevel?
[00:05] <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
[00:06] <genewitch> the runlevel on the machine working correctly is 3, the one that is going to gnome is 2
[00:08] <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
[00:10] <genewitch> akik: YAY! edit /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf;  env DEFAULT_RUNLEVEL=2
[00:11] <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
[00:17] <genewitch> and the X is lightdm
[00:17] <genewitch> i wonder if i just remove it if that will fix it
[00:18] <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
[00:19] <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
[00:20] <akik> genewitch: are you sure your application doesn't require xorg? :)
[00:21] <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
[00:22] <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"
[00:23] <genewitch> but that's ok. I'll get it figured out
[00:23] <mirak> what package is running grub-install ?
[00:24] <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
[00:25] <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 ?
[00:26] <_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
[00:28] <_28Kb> !xcalib
[00:29] <akik> genewitch: yes. it won't start xorg then
[00:29] <akik> genewitch: without the ""
[00:31] <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
[00:33] <genewitch> clean install!
[00:36] <tener> hi. quick question: how do i reset the gnome-terminal custom command while not being able to launch gnome-terminal?
[00:39] <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?
[00:40] <_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
[00:41] <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
[00:42] <genewitch> what radeon?
[00:42] <genewitch> this is a 6300M or so
[00:42] <_28Kb> mine was HD5450... CEDAR chip
[00:43] <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>
[00:44] <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
[00:46] <_28Kb> you override Ubuntu :)
[00:55] <akik> genewitch: which package did you install on ubuntu to get retropie running? or is it just the emulationstation?
[01:29] <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
[01:32] <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
[01:33] <bozonius> I ran dependency checks but could not find cron listed for plymouth.
[01:48] <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...)
[01:51] <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/
[01:52] <grym> i have tried to install libssl by explicit version and the response is `Version not found`.
[01:57] <grym> i don't know how to un-wedge myself
[02:05] <Bashing-om> grym: 1) Current kernel is 4.4.0-103-generic . 2) current libssl1.0.0 is 1.0.2g-1ubuntu4.9 . You are out of date and maybe a PPA at fault here . what shows ' apt policy libssl1.0.0 ' after ' sudo apt update ; sudo apt full-upgrade ' ?
[02:05] <mentalita> what is this mousepad thingy based on?\
[02:10] <grym> Bashing-om: does full-upgrade have a dry run option?
[02:13] <Bashing-om> grym: ' sudo apt -s full-upgrade ' where the "s" is "simulate" .
[02:37] <grym> Bashing-om: thanks!  all set.
[02:38] <Bashing-om> gregl: :) you do good work .
[02:44] <WireCat> Hi, does anybody know why ffmpeg is not working on ubuntu 17.04 ?
[02:45] <WireCat> i tried "apt install ffmpeg" Then running 'ffmpeg' it says: ffmpeg: error while loading shared libraries: libbluray.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[02:52] <Bashing-om> WireCat: whjat shows ' apt policy libbluray1 ' ?
[02:52] <Bashing-om> what*
[03:12] <jair> hello all I am having this issue and currently recearching on google for the same behavior and solution, the issue is when I try to reboot my system it hangs during the shutdown process at this message "stopped target network is online"
[03:13] <jair> OS: Mint 18 sarah
[03:13] <jair>  MMm----::-://////////////oymNMd+`     Kernel: x86_64 Linux 4.4.0-103-generic
[03:13] <jair> Sory about that I mean to paste >> Kernel: x86_64 Linux 4.4.0-103-generic
[03:14] <Bashing-om> !mint | jair
[03:15] <jair> Bashing-om: understood but it is happening in Ubuntu as well, this issue is related to the Kernel or systemctl
[03:29] <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
[03:30] <genewitch> akik: it bootstraps itself on an existing ubuntu install
[03:32] <akik> genewitch: ok thanks
[03:32] <genewitch> if you have ubuntu 14.04 there's a gotcha, but >=16.04 it's flawless
[03:33] <truexfan81> without installing inxi whats the best way to get terminal to tell you which ubuntu version you are running?
[03:34] <genewitch> truexfan81: cat /etc/*release*
[03:34] <genewitch> that should work on all linuxes
[03:34] <akik> truexfan81: lsb_release -a
[03:35] <genewitch> lsb_release isn't portable :-p
[03:36] <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
[03:37] <genewitch> no pkill -sighup tomcat :-D
[03:37] <genewitch> right, both our commands give you the info, truexfan81
[03:38] <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
[03:39] <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
[03:40] <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] <genewitch> all moot if your provider reboots/moves your VM all the time
[03:40] <genewitch> like linode
[03:41] <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
[03:46] <genewitch> neither of these devices appear to have bluetooth
[03:46] <genewitch> raspberry pi it is
[03:50] <quim> I have installed ltsp but is slow in graphics
[04:17] <superKiller> Hello. Does anyone know how setup utorrent on ubuntu?
[04:29] <superKiller> hello. I got disconnected. does anyone know how to install utorrent on ubuntu 17.10 ?
[04:33] <dentist> apt-get install utorrent
[04:33] <dentist> orsomething?
[04:34] <Exterminador> hello guys. any chance to set-up my VPS to auto detect all the IPv6 address on the /64 subnet, instead the need to add them all manually?
[04:36] <Exterminador> superKiller: https://www.linuxhelp.com/how-to-install-utorrent-on-ubuntu-17-04/ can help perhaps
[04:42] <superKiller> Exterminador, thanks !
[04:43] <Exterminador> superKiller: np. sometimes Google is your best friend xD
[04:43] <superKiller> Exterminador, or duck duck go
[04:44] <Exterminador> ahahah :)
[04:49] <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?
[04:50] <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
[04:51] <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
[04:52] <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
[04:53] <streetwitch> Right
[04:53] <streetwitch> I don't want to worry about that right now
[04:53] <bobdobbs> then don't use a webserver
[05:02] <streetwitch> bobdobbs
[05:02] <streetwitch> I'm reading it
[05:02] <streetwitch> and installed php-fpm
[05:02] <bobdobbs> great
[05:03] <streetwitch> Can you point me to the next step in the process?
[05:03] <streetwitch> It tells me php-fpm isn't a command
[05:04] <bobdobbs> what exactly are you trying to do?
[05:52] <kazuma_desu> need hel

[05:56] <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
[05:57] <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
[05:58] <Ben64> programo: don't do that
[05:58] <kazuma_desu> Ben64, then help programo
[05:59] <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> you seem weirdly angry
[06:08] <programo> Hey Ben64
[06:08] <Ben64> hi
[06:08] <programo> why am  I not able to send messages on Arch Linux channel
[06:08] <Ben64> because they muted you
[06:08] <programo> after my first message I was not able to talk on that channel
[06:09] <programo> okay tell me where I have to go to  get my issue resolved?
[06:09] <programo> Ben64,
[06:09] <Ben64> #ubuntu probably
[06:10] <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/
[06:11] <programo> okay Ben64 thanks!
[06:13] <kazuma_desu> programo, ubuntu sucks because there isn't support
[06:13] <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> that guy is a nazi gehidore
[06:13] <kazuma_desu> they never cared months back
[06:13] <kazuma_desu> they always helped really any distro
[06:14] <kazuma_desu> the mods were never around
[06:14] <Ben64> anyway, keep on topic here please
[06:14] <kazuma_desu> now they are and are being nazis
[06:14] <kazuma_desu> anyway
[06:14] <kazuma_desu> is anyone ever going to fix programo or my issue/
[06:14] <kazuma_desu> I mean ffs
[06:14] <Ben64> you might want to be patient and work on your attitude
[06:14] <kazuma_desu> lol
[06:14] <kazuma_desu> if i wanted to be patient i would have keep arch on this laptop
[06:14] <kazuma_desu> i left that distro because i wanted stability
[06:15] <kazuma_desu> and ubuntu stupidly has buttons and crap on left
[06:15] <kazuma_desu> i tried theme
[06:15] <kazuma_desu> no good
[06:15] <kazuma_desu> gtk theme still has buttons on left
[06:15] <kazuma_desu> its weird
[06:15] <kazuma_desu> makes me less productive

[06:30] <lotuspsychje> kazuma_desu: have you tryed with dconf-editor yet?
[06:30] <kazuma_desu> no, what is that and how?
[06:31] <lotuspsychje> kazuma_desu: something like this: http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2013/07/move-window-title-buttons-to-right-in-ubuntu/ havent tested myself on 16.04...
[06:33] <lotuspsychje> kazuma_desu: also in unity, you can maximize/minimize from dash icon have you tested?
[06:34] <kazuma_desu> id did what it says here
[06:34] <kazuma_desu> http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2013/07/move-window-title-buttons-to-right-in-ubuntu/
[06:34] <kazuma_desu> and it still has buttons on left ;( lotuspsychje
[06:34] <kazuma_desu> i even locked and then unlocked
[06:35] <lotuspsychje> kazuma_desu: have you read what i just said?
[06:35] <kazuma_desu> what is dash icon
[06:36] <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
[06:37] <kazuma_desu> over and overagain
[06:37] <kazuma_desu> and it doesnt minimize or maxmize it
[06:37] <kazuma_desu> same with chromium
[06:38] <kazuma_desu> i want the buttons on the right side
[06:38] <kazuma_desu> not the left

[06:39] <kazuma_desu> its a useless program
[06:39] <lotuspsychje> kazuma_desu: enable Minimize single window applications on click on tab 'launcher'
[06:39] <kazuma_desu> how does that fix the issue of buttons being on the left?
[06:39] <kazuma_desu> I wnt them on the right!
[06:40] <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] <kazuma_desu> that is crazy
[06:40] <lotuspsychje> kazuma_desu: developers have to start somewhere, and cant grant everyones wishes right?
[06:41] <kazuma_desu> thank you for the help but i think ubuntu isnt going to work for me
[06:43] <plongshot> Is there a way to restart an ubuntu instance via ssh without actually shutting it down?  Like the way we can restarta a service (eg: sudo service apache2 restart)  but for restarting the os?
[06:44] <lotuspsychje> plongshot: wich ubuntu version are you on mate?
[06:45] <plongshot> lotuspsychje: It's an aws 16.04 ubuntu server
[06:45] <plongshot> over ssh
[06:45] <lotuspsychje> plongshot: join #ubuntu-server mate, their used to that
[06:45] <plongshot> I can't shut it down and restart without incurring a cost (they hit me for an hour over a single restart)
[06:45] <plongshot> cool
[06:47] <lotuspsychje> plongshot: idle for a while there okay, its sunday might take a while before wakeup
[07:05] <tag> I'm having a bit of trouble with systemd-resolve when I'm connect to an anyconnect vpn. If I try to look up something on the intranet by specifying systemd-resolve -i vpn0 ... it works fine, but for some reason if I don't specify the interface it never finds the thing — which means that my other tools all don't work.
[07:06] <TaZeR> guys i think ubuntu has gotten off track with its development, lets all go to a new distro?
[07:08] <lotuspsychje> !discuss | TaZeR
[07:08] <TaZeR> oh right, sorry
[07:09] <tag> oh well
[07:27] <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}.
[07:28] <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.
[07:38] <PissWizard> OMFG how do I even search for info on what settings->display uses to change resolution in Ubuntu?
[07:41] <Ben64> what are you actually trying to accomplish
[07:44] <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.
[07:45] <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.
[07:46] <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.
[07:47] <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
[07:48] <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
[07:50] <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.
[07:51] <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
[07:52] <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.
[07:57] <PissWizard> *gasp* I think gxResolution setting fixed it! thanks! yeah, fonts look normal again at least on the main menu.
[08:02] <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.
[09:27] <unimatrix9> hello all
[09:27] <EriC^^> hello
[09:27] <unimatrix9> whats the best program to view xml files ?
[09:28] <alkisg> ...firefox
[09:29] <unimatrix9> firefox shows it but not formatted , just the raw xml
[09:30] <unimatrix9> could i have a program that outputs it formatted ..
[09:30] <JoeRW> Can anyone please help me figure out why I'm receiving this error in my logs? https://pastebin.com/YJMpcKWE
[09:31] <EriC^^> unimatrix9: try xmlcopyeditor
[09:32] <EriC^^> unimatrix9: also treeline
[09:38] <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
[09:40] <Styil> I have tried turning off splash quiet in grub but no avail
[09:41] <k_sze_> Erm...
[09:41] <k_sze_> The gcc-4.8 *package* doesn't come with g++-4.8?
[09:49] <EriC^^> x
[09:53] <alkisg> unimatrix9: xml files are formatted based on xslt files, and firefox of course supports that, if you give it the xslt
[09:55] <alkisg> Styil: and what's the error message when you remove quiet splash?
[09:56] <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
[09:57] <alkisg> btw, does recovery mode work, from grub?
[09:58] <Styil> yes recovery mode works
[09:58] <alkisg> and what about "continue" after recover?
[09:58] <alkisg> *recovery?
[09:59] <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
[10:08] <mentalita> does anyone know of a file manager that lets you group custom actions?
[10:08] <alkisg> Sure, nautilus and caja
[10:09] <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
[10:10] <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
[10:11] <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
[10:12] <mentalita> wait a sec
[10:14] <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.
[10:17] <mentalita> alkisg: I put the config file from thunar there but its not working http://i.imgur.com/9hiBK63.png
[10:18] <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
[10:19] <mentalita> alkisg: and I can't configure those extensions they're grayed out http://i.imgur.com/IZErDM6.png
[10:20] <mentalita> mentalita@mentalita-pc:~$ ls .config/caja/scripts
[10:20] <mentalita> accels  uca.xml
[10:23] <alkisg> Metacity: in .config/caja/scripts, you put bash scripts (actions)
[10:23] <alkisg> Not xml files
[10:24] <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
[10:25] <mentalita> alkisg: hm I think I got it but can you put icons?
[10:26] <alkisg> No
[10:26] <mentalita> alkisg: also my caja-actions folder is in .config/
[10:30] <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.
[10:31] <mentalita> huh well y..yes
[10:32] <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
[10:33] <alkisg> Caja scripts support subdirs which then are shown as submenus
[10:34] <alkisg> So it's handy for groupping when you have lots of them
[10:36] <SimonNL> apt show Caja-extensions-common            in terminal, does that show what you want to know.
[10:36] <SimonNL> mentalita: ^
[10:36] <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?
[10:37] <alkisg> mentalita: did you chmod +x it?
[10:37] <SimonNL> info about that package mentalita
[10:37] <mentalita> alkisg: 'it' as in what?
[10:38] <alkisg> mentalita: chmod +x .config/caja/scripts/py2script.py
[10:38] <alkisg> Also, lowercase scripts, not Scripts
[10:39] <mentalita> ok
[10:39] <mentalita> it's there
[10:40] <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] <qwd> I'm trying to update Intel Management Engine on a Thinkpad X1 Carbon 4th gen following this guide https://www.flamingspork.com/blog/2017/11/22/updating-windows-management-engine-firmware-on-a-lenovo-without-a-windows-install/ but I'm stuck at step 6/8. 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 :)
[10:43] <mentalita> huh
[10:43] <mentalita> can't I configure the icon
[10:43] <mentalita> wtf
[10:43] <mentalita> :(
[10:43] <mentalita> im this close to building my own file manager
[10:43] <mentalita> i swear
[10:47] <alkisg> (12:25:49 μμ) mentalita: alkisg: hm I think I got it but can you put icons? ==> (12:26:45 μμ) alkisg: No
[10:48] <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
[10:49] <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?
[10:50] <mentalita> http://i.imgur.com/pfVw11D.png
[10:52] <alkisg> I'm not using xfce, I don't know where you set file associations there
[11:36] <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
[11:37] <Styil> nomodeset is also enabled
[11:44] <Styil> Hmm
[11:44] <Styil> Seems the old kernel actually boots
[11:46] <Styil> Oh nevermind, seems booting into the old kernel hen rebooting into the new one fixed stuff
[11:51] <Styil> Actually it seems I am not out of the woods yet
[11:52] <Styil> My problem seems to lie in the fact that boot/efi failed to mount
[11:56] <EriC^^> Styil: failed why
[11:56] <EriC^^> try sudo mount /boot/efi
[12:03] <Styil_> EriC^^: tried it
[12:03] <Styil> IO charset iso8859-1 not found
[12:04] <Styil> mount: /boot/efi: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/nvme0n1p1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.
[12:05] <Styil> The odd thing is that the old kernel boots just fine
[12:05] <Styil> So I don’t think the efi is broken
[12:20] <Styil> EriC^^ any idea why the old kernel mounts it fine?
[12:46] <ylwghst> Is there way to avoid this message in the fisrt boot stage https://gist.github.com/anonymous/bd58ebb6f9bb807f8c50c3e9ff996f79 ?
[13:01] <quim> What is the fastest remote control in ubuntu?
[13:48] <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?
[14:08] <tomreyn> GrandPa-G: that's a CGI shell script?
[14:08] <GrandPa-G> no, it is an exec() in php
[14:09] <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
[14:10] <GrandPa-G> cat: /home/grimesr/openvpn-ca/keys/ta.key: Permission denied
[14:11] <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?
[14:12] <tomreyn> chances are that /home/grimesr/openvpn-ca/keys is not accesible by at least one of these users
[14:13] <GrandPa-G> running as me works.
[14:13] <GrandPa-G> the file has rw for www-data
[14:14] <tomreyn> it's not just the file that matters, also the directory it resides in
[14:15] <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
[14:16] <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.
[14:17] <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)
[14:18] <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?
[14:19] <tomreyn> personally, not much, but ask your actual question and someone may answer it.
[14:22] <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.
[14:23] <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?
[14:24] <alkisg> I think sudo above would give you access denied too
[14:27] <alkisg> wait for network-online
[14:28] <GrandPa-G> network-online (from what I have learned) just means that the interface has been established. Still too early from my experiments.
[14:33] <tomreyn> https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/216919/how-can-i-make-my-user-services-wait-till-the-network-is-online
[14:35] <tomreyn> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1649931
[14:36] <tomreyn> GrandPa-G: so on ubuntu, the network-online target should ensure that name resolution works.
[15:16] <boboma> hello. I canno switch users in ubuntu 17.10. If I choose the menu item in the top right corner, it switches to the screensaver instead of the login screen. here's a error log, any idea about that?
[15:16] <boboma> https://paste.debian.net/1000070/
[15:39] <c2tarun> Hey all, I was just curious, when I started using ubuntu around 2010, #ubuntu's IRC channel was alway very crowded and very busy. Usually if I ask a question, it scrolls off screen in few minutes. Why is it so silent these days?
[15:40] <lotuspsychje> c2tarun: modes are changed to registered users only
[15:40] <nemo> ah. that would definitely cut down on the noise
[15:40] <nemo> hm. I wonder what ALIS has to say about ubuntu channel members
[15:41] <BluesKaj> c2tarun, my undestsnding it's bewcome +r which probly discourages new users from joining
[15:41] <lotuspsychje> boboma: perhaps place a new !bug for it, cant find something related existing
[15:42] <nemo> #ubuntu 1048  #kubuntu 229 - those seem to be the main ones.  so I guess all the unregistereds did not go elsewhere
[15:44] <boboma> lotuspsychje, thanks for having a look
[15:45] <lotuspsychje> boboma: have you tested the xorg session?
[15:45] <rainbowwarrior> hello, i am having a problem using private internet access vpn, it shows in the list but when i move the slider to on, it keeps going back to off again, how can i fix so it connects please?
[15:46] <piraye> hi guys!
[15:47] <lotuspsychje> !vpn | piraye
[15:47] <lotuspsychje> rainbowwarrior: ^was for you
[15:47] <lotuspsychje> piraye: welcome, how can we help you?
[15:47] <rainbowwarrior> ty lotuspsychje
[15:48] <piraye> i have this error! /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lirstlm when i try compile one program
[15:48] <lotuspsychje> piraye: have you searched if your package already exist in the ubuntu repos?
[15:50] <piraye> no it is not exist there
[15:50] <lotuspsychje> !compile | piraye
[15:51] <rainbowwarrior> lotuspsychje, : I am using ubuntu 17.10 and i can see the list of servers my vpn uses, but when i select on it turn itself off, how can i fix please?
[15:54] <lotuspsychje> rainbowwarrior: have you enabled 'Store the password for all users'
[15:55] <lotuspsychje> rainbowwarrior: is this what you experience? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/1725062
[15:56] <BluesKaj> rainbowwarrior, did you install network-manager-vpn, seems PIA requires that
[15:58] <BluesKaj> rainbowwarrior, correction , network-manager-openvpn
[16:02] <rainbowwarrior> yes, but it will not let me enter my password
[16:05] <BluesKaj> rainbowwarrior, has PIA sent your username and pw by email , I hve to ask
[16:05] <rainbowwarrior> yes
[16:06] <boboma> lotuspsychje, same problem with xorg.
[16:06] <rainbowwarrior> BluesKaj, : yes
[16:07] <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
[16:08] <boboma> means user aaa should open the session for gdm or am I wrong with that assumption?
[16:11] <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?
[16:18] <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
[16:24] <EraserPencil> I need help trying to track down configurations and settings that is preventing me from removing a previously installed package I thought I have removed
[16:27] <EraserPencil> I have tried  aptitude purge/remove, dpkg -list to find dependencies, rm -rf ~/.config/<app>
[16:27] <TheWild> hello
[16:28] <TheWild> how I'm going to copy a symlink but paste targeted object from UI?
[16:30] <tomreyn> EraserPencil: can you show the output of "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -f install; dpkg -l PACKAGENAME" (replace 'PACKAGENAME' by the name of the package you are trying to fully remove).
[16:36] <stephen101> https://vomitb.in/JwD84ZXTgN
[16:36] <EraserPencil> tomreyn: It's not a package I installed via apt-get install, I installed the .deb package which I extracted, it opened up Ubuntu Software and I did the installation from there. I accidentally shifted the app to elsewhere where links got broke and I tried to shift it back but obviously it dosent work that way. then I did rm -rf that folder

[16:51] <stephen101> My biggest issue with Ubuntu is only 1 core is doing all the processing, other core staying at 0.
[16:52] <stephen101> Windows 10 its running fine.
[16:52] <kristijanz> stephen101: what do you mean? The shell?
[16:52] <stephen101> https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eMS3rpXicP4Sy5sPZkzBKHrjSOUd3dNu/view?usp=drivesdk
[16:53] <stephen101> Look at picture.
[16:54] <kristijanz> idk which cpu but if it's gnome, it's single threadded
[16:54] <kristijanz> gnome should be rewritten lol
[16:54] <stephen101> What do you mean single thread?
[16:55] <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] <kristijanz> well, idk, file a bug
[16:55] <stephen101> On my other PC I have Ubuntu it shows use of both cores?
[16:56] <kristijanz> hm, You should file a bug, or try a new kernel to test stuff
[16:56] <stephen101> I tried fedora live with same issue.
[16:57] <stephen101> I also flashed latest Intel CPU code.
[16:57] <stephen101> And latest bios.
[16:57] <alkisg> stephen101: try with mce=off in the kernel cmdline
[16:57] <kristijanz> I don't know, try filing a bug report
[16:58] <linohat> my bios shows grub bootloader but not grub2 bootloader . any pointers why?
[16:58] <stephen101> OK would I need to reboot after?
[16:58] <whaley> stephen101: open multiple terminals and run `yes > /dev/null` in them.
[16:58] <alkisg> stephen101: yes
[16:58] <alkisg> linohat: what does that mean, grub=0.97 legacy?
[16:59] <alkisg> stephen101: which ubuntu version/kernel is that?
[16:59] <alkisg> And which cpu?
[16:59] <tomreyn> EraserPencil: that's not how you install software, and it's not supported here (or not by me).
[17:00] <stephen101> One sec I am on tablet. Will get CPU info.
[17:01] <stephen101> Intel n3350
[17:01] <EraserPencil> I know.. and I'm observing better practices now
[17:01] <stephen101> I an running latest Ubuntu 16
[17:01] <linohat> alkisg: yes. the drives with /boot/grub succeed booting showing menu while drives with /boot/grub2 shows blank screen nothing happens! motherboard is asus m2n-mx . it cant be 32 vs 64 bit since processor is athlon 64 amd
[17:02] <alkisg> linohat: there's no /boot/grub2. Grub version 2 installs to /boot/grub.
[17:03] <alkisg> Run: dpkg -l '*grub*' | grep ^ii
[17:03] <alkisg> and put it to pastebin
[17:03] <Crell> Hi folks. I've a Thinkpad X1 Carbon 5th Gen running 17.10, with a Thunderbolt dock. The dock *was* working properly. However, for unknown reasons it's now not connecting any data. Just power. No ethernet, no video, no USB, nothing. I did not change any settings. Best I've found via Google is this: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Linux-Discussion/ThunderBolt-3-Dockingstation-and-Linux/td-p/3671481 - However, I already have TBolt security d
[17:03] <Crell> I've tried the usual unplug/replug cycle, rebooting, no dice.
[17:03] <alkisg> stephen101: with the 4.4 kernel or with 4.12?
[17:04] <stephen101> No clue, noob here lol
[17:04] <linohat> alkisg: ok this is centos issue then ! the drive with ubuntu ones have /boot/grub while centos has /boot/grub2 and that fails! how do i fix it!
[17:05] <stephen101> http://paste.ubuntu.com/26156910
[17:05] <alkisg> linohat: ask in #centos? :D
[17:05] <stephen101> Alkisg
[17:06] <alkisg> stephen101: uname -a
[17:07] <stephen101> ?
[17:07] <alkisg> stephen101: run that command, and paste the output here
[17:09] <stephen101> stephen@stephen-X541NA:~$ uname -a

[17:10] <stephen101> Mind you I came up with same duplicate CPU error booting Fedora live.
[17:10] <stephen101> A friend told me to try booting that and see if there is a change.
[17:10] <alkisg> stephen101: run apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade, to update to the newest kernel first
[17:11] <alkisg> This is rather old
[17:11] <Sbur3> How do I get a previously working MFC6490CW (printing seems to work, but scanning, no) to be functional again?
[17:11] <stephen101> This is what installed on fresh.
[17:13] <EraserPencil> tomreyn: would you know a corrective path?
[17:14] <stephen101> Its upgrading alkisg
[17:14] <stephen101> By the way alkisg WiFi is totally unstable also.
[17:15] <stephen101> Practically broken, I have to use cat5
[17:15] <stephen101> Windows 10 runs fine.
[17:16] <stephen101> More concerned with the processor cores though.
[17:17] <Sbur3> About my printer and scanner, I noticed that the printer packages are i386, while the scanner things via grep are amd64
[17:17] <stephen101> I am semi new to Linux though, but Ubuntu on this Asus laptop has been a nightmare haha.
[17:29] <stephen101> @alkisg same cpu error  is in Kern.log

[17:36] <rainbow_12> steenman, is there anything i can look at
[17:36] <steenman> rainbow_12: i was going to say you can speed up the mouse in the settings but i dont think thats your problem
[17:36] <rainbow_12> steenman i tried that, it didnt fix the issue
[17:37] <alkisg> stephen101: what's the output of cat /proc/cmdline?
[17:37] <steenman> rainbow_12: im not sure what to suggest, someone on here will no
[17:37] <steenman> know*
[17:37] <stephen101> One sec
[17:37] <kristijanz> I have the same problem on 18.04 when the mouse is near the dash to dock

[17:51] <Razva> that would be 4.11, sorry
[17:53] <yepyepnop> Hello!
[17:53] <yepyepnop> I have a SH file, if I try to edit it there is no code but something not comprehensible that starts with "ELF". what is that? there is a way to convert that file in shellcode?
[17:57] <Crell> yepyepnop: Then it's not a shell file, but an ELF binary. Why it's named .sh is a mystery.
[17:58] <stephen101> @alkisg http://paste.ubuntu.com/26157661/ my syslog from boot.
[17:59] <alkisg> stephen101: not mce-off, but mce=off
[17:59] <alkisg> Try again
[18:01] <stephen101> Well lol. Sorry dam
[18:01] <yepyepnop> Crell: there's no way to "convert" the elf file into an SH one?
[18:03] <hypercore> how do i install the new ubuntu gnome DE on a non-ubuntu distro?
[18:03] <Bashing-om> !info linux-image-generic artful | Razva
[18:04] <rainbow_12> hi
[18:04] <auronandace> hypercore: i suppose that would be up to the maintainers of whatever distro you are using. ask them to package it
[18:04] <stephen101> @alkisg Cpu2 still sitting at 0
[18:04] <rainbow_12> mouse lag issue in ubuntu 16.04
[18:04] <rainbow_12> can someone help
[18:04] <Razva> Bashing-om: maybe I don't understand your suggestion?
[18:05] <Bashing-om> Razva: Boot up a live 17.10 environment and see what results .
[18:07] <stephen101> Think 17 would fix my core issue?
[18:08] <ioria> stephen101, dmesg | grep -i "smp"
[18:09] <JoeRW> Can anyone please help me figure out why I'm receiving this error in my logs? https://pastebin.com/YJMpcKWE
[18:10] <stephen101> Want me to paste output?
[18:10] <ioria> stephen101, yes, on paste.ubuntu.com, not here
[18:12] <stephen101> http://paste.ubuntu.com/26157773/
[18:13] <stephen101> Says I have 2 but yet in system monitor shows 0 for cpu2
[18:16] <ioria> stephen101, also this : grep -i smp /var/log/kern.log
[18:16] <yepyepnop> stephen101: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[18:19] <stephen101> http://paste.ubuntu.com/26157851/
[18:19] <stephen101> Both pasted in there
[18:20] <stephen101> Bug in system monitor?
[18:22] <ioria> stephen101, do you have some extrrnal devices attached ?
[18:22] <stephen101> Other then cat5 no.
[18:23] <stephen101> WiFi is broken but this issue is more paramount.
[18:26] <ioria> stephen101, run top and then press '1'
[18:27] <stephen101> Want me to copy that?
[18:29] <ioria> stephen101, just check  %Cpu1 load
[18:29] <stephen101> https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OFunR-Nb6J-NmNE_sghycMcPrs_MPLvF/view?usp=drivesdk
[18:30] <stephen101> What its showing me
[18:30] <ioria> stephen101, both in use, but it's labeled as '2' not '1'
[18:31] <stephen101> Ya I see that, so obviously system monitor there is a bug?
[18:31] <stephen101> Cause watching from this view its obviously in use core 1 and 2.
[18:32] <ioria> stephen101, bios and microcode updated ?
[18:32] <stephen101> Yes.
[18:34] <stephen101> Other issues I get random warming my battery is critically low, but few seconds later shows full. While plugged in.
[18:37] <stephen101> http://paste.ubuntu.com/26156910/ this was after the bios and microcode update.
[18:39] <stephen101> alkisg had me update my dist, but same CPU error in log.
[18:44] <ericus> hello
[18:44] <ericus> how would I be able to run a .sh-script without leaving a terminal open?
[18:45] <ericus> in this case, teamspeak
[18:45] <AshIndigo> use screen or tmux?
[18:45] <ericus> I have this set in .bashrc:
[18:45] <ericus> alias teamspeak='setsid sh /home/ericus/Downloads/TeamSpeak3-Client-linux_amd64/ts3client_runscript.sh &'
[18:47] <ericus> would like to be able to alt+fn2 and enter teamspeak
[18:47] <ericus> f2*
[18:50] <ioria> stephen101, might be an hardware problem
[18:52] <ericus> AshIndigo screen wouldnt work
[18:53] <stephen101> But in windows 10 none of these issues exist?
[18:54] <stephen101> Looked through the logs there, none showing for errors.
[18:54] <stephen101> Everything works properly.
[18:54] <ericus> whats the issue stephen101?
[18:54] <stephen101> http://paste.ubuntu.com/26156910/
[18:55] <ioria> stephen101, i don't think windows uses the same kernel :þ
[18:56] <stephen101> Ya well I was just saying hardware properly boots in that environment.
[18:56] <ericus> hardware I'd say
[18:57] <stephen101> Tried fedora live, also get the same error as Ubuntu.
[18:58] <ioria> stephen101, right, if you want to investigate deeply, there is mcelog
[18:59] <stephen101> Mce log?
[19:00] <ioria> stephen101, yes
[19:00] <ioria> !info mcelog
[19:00] <stephen101> So grab it ?
[19:03] <stephen101> Tried apt-get mcelog, says invalid operation
[19:04] <EriC^^> apt-get install mcelog
[19:05] <stephen101> Whoops lol
[19:05] <EriC^^> :D
[19:06] <stephen101> Bare with me, I am a noon on command line.
[19:06] <stephen101> Noob*
[19:07] <stephen101> Installed and rebooted, should it take logs automatically?
[19:08] <akik> stephen101: you can also test whether linux uses your cpu cores with stress application: stress --cpu 2
[19:09] <ioria> stephen101, yep,  /var/log/mcelog    afaik
[19:09] <stephen101> http://paste.ubuntu.com/26158204/
[19:10] <ioria> Processor context corrupt does not sound good
[19:11] <stephen101> No clue what any of that means lol
[19:14] <ioria> stephen101, what's the story of that pc7laptop ?
[19:14] <ioria> pc/laptop
[19:15] <stephen101> Bought it used. Factory reset it. Booted windows 10, then promptly installed Ubuntu dual.
[19:16] <stephen101> Well I resized partition in windows 10 before that. Makes it easier on install.
[19:16] <c2tarun> can anybody please tell me how to hide join/part messages in irssi?
[19:19] <david242> could anyone help me use make?
[19:20] <c2tarun> david242: what type of help you need? Also what are you trying to build?
[19:20] <david242> I'm trying to build and install https://github.com/albfan/miraclecast but when I run make I get `no targets specified`
[19:22] <david242> c2tarun: the build instructions seem to assume I'm a developer, but I am not. I already install built-essentials and automake
[19:22] <c2tarun> david242: let me try building it.
[19:23] <Bashing-om> c2tarun: in your status window ' /ignore #channel JOINS QUITS ' .
[19:23] <c2tarun> Bashing-om: ahaa.. got it. I am also guessing /save will save it?
[19:25] <ioria> stephen101, i'am still  thinking to an hw error (you can watch Event Viewer under windows) , but i guess you can live with that (until you'll get a kernel panic)
[19:25] <Bashing-om> c2tarun: If you are happy with your presnt configuration . yes  then ' /layout save ;  /save ' .
[19:25] <c2tarun> Cool. Thanks.
[19:26] <Bashing-om> c2tarun: Be awarw there is the irssi support channel  #irssi :)
[19:27] <Bashing-om> aware*
[19:27] <stephen101> I am seeing suggestions on searching google to disable certain features in bios?
[19:27] <c2tarun> david242: I am getting syntax error while trying to build it. Are you getting same?
[19:29] <david242> hey I'm back c2tarun, I got d/c
[19:29] <c2tarun> david242: I am getting syntax error while trying to build it. Are you getting same?
[19:29] <stephen101> https://askubuntu.com/questions/146469/kernel-panic-machine-check-processor-context-corrupt-after-install
[19:30] <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?
[19:31] <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
[19:32] <quim> several clients vinagre, remmina, and all have the same problem
[19:34] <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?
[19:35] <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.
[19:36] <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
[19:38] <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.
[19:39] <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
[19:40] <david242> c2tarun build and install miraclecast and try to use an old PC as a miracast sink
[19:41] <c2tarun> david242: It might be worth shooting an email to developer.
[19:41] <quim> alkisg: ltsp is faster than windows remote client?
[19:42] <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
[19:43] <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
[19:44] <stephen101> Well my bios don't let you play with much. :-/ basically can only disable secure boot.
[19:45] <david242> c2tarun thanks again for your help, I really appreciated it! good bye
[19:46] <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?
[19:58] <alkisg> jeremies: yes, ltsp is faster than windows rdp
[19:58] <alkisg> (only on LAN)
[19:59] <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?
[20:00] <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
[20:02] <jeremies> alkisg: thank you very much, for your help I will try that
[20:02] <alkisg> np
[20:03] <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
[21:00] <fly__> Hi folks. could someone who has gcc installed on 17.whatever provide the output of "gcc -dumpspecs"? TIA
[21:03] <capella> I have no idea what this is but you asked https://pastebin.mozilla.org/9074456

[21:11] <stephen101> No errors, so why is Ubuntu throwing errors?
[21:16] <stephen101> I get it kernel difference but what gives?
[21:25] <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
[21:26] <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
[21:27] <Styil> Is there a command to repair the efi?
[21:29] <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?
[21:30] <devan3637> is this some political bullshit going on with governments and privacy ?

[21:32] <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
[21:33] <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
[21:34] <CarlFK> um.. how do I reinstall ?
[21:38] <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
[21:39] <Glamdring> Silly question, but does Virtualbox still exist? If not, how best to make do without?
[21:40] <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
[21:41] <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
[21:42] <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.
[21:43] <Glamdring> nsnzero: While virtualbox installs, what's qemu like?
[21:44] <nsnzero> Glamdring: i think i qemu runs as a kernel module - so less overhead but i warn you its complicated
[21:45] <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
[21:46] <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
[21:48] <nsnzero> ChunkzZ: the file manager as a option to share files and folders - right click and its there somewhere
[21:49] <dh128> hello! i had a question about persistent live USBs and booting to ram.
[21:50] <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.
[21:52] <Bashing-om> Joaquin-V: Set the release-upgrades to normal . See ' cat /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades ' .
[22:02] <devan3637> is it possible to safely replace systemd with sysvinit-core in ubuntu using mate instead of gnome
[22:03] <devan3637> because gnome is heavily Dependant of systemd but it seems to be the damn defacto init system for most popular distros - quite disturbing
[22:05] <jeremies> alkisg: playing the video with vlc plays good, but with firefox no.
[22:06] <jeremies> why ltsp plays video well with vlc but not with firefox?
[22:08] <devan3637> jeremies, EME aka Web DRM as supported W3C might be to blame for all the video crap quality
[22:11] <Styil> Hello, when on the login screen, how do I access a terminal, control alt F1?
[22:12] <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?
[22:13] <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? ^
[22:14] <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?
[22:15] <ChunkzZ> Phylter: want to share to Kodi
[22:15] <Phylter> ChunkzZ, cool! Can you answer my two questions, please?
[22:16] <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 ?
[22:17] <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.
[22:18] <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.
[22:20] <Phylter> That's also why it wasn't allowing any connections.
[22:21] <Styil> Solved it by enabling textmode in grub
[22:21] <ChunkzZ> thanks Phylter !
[22:22] <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.
[22:43] <uRock> When entering a file path in smb.conf, should directories with spaces in them be entered as "Folder\ Name" or just "Folder Name"?
[22:52] <tonyt> someone cant make up their mind whethere they want to be in here or not lol
