How do I get it? [04:30] how to install freefilesync ....i got the .tar.gz file when extracted it has the executable file...after double clicking that am able to run the program but it is still not intalled. am not able to see it in the app drawer...the .tar.gz file doeasnot have any readme or install file neither does it have configure file [05:02] Does anyone know how to fix video tearing in VLC, or is it just something I have to accept when I choose Linux? (If it's not fixable, I won't complain.) I'm running on Ubuntu 17.10 x64, on X11 because I use NVidia blob drivers. [05:15] anyone familiar with clonezilla or similiar program that makes an exact clone of an entire drive? so my question if someone clones a smaller harddrive and upgrades their computer to a larger harddrive and also maybe expanding memory..what that be an issue with using the clone on the smaller drive and putting it on the larger drive if only those two hardware components are changed? [05:18] hotwater99999, I am not an expert or even familiar with CloneZilla, but if you were to ask me, it won't be a problem, though you will need to resize partitions after writing the clone to the bigger drive in order to make use of the space available provided by the larger drive. [05:19] ohh i have thought about the partition thing...clonezilla is basically an exact image of your hard drive similar to those programs in windows that can make an image of your hard drive running but clonezilla does it when the hard drive is unmounted [05:20] works well but i have not tried it on transfering from one hard drive to another [05:20] since those images are exact ...everything is clone settings partitions sizes etc etc etc [05:21] Yep, if you clone the hard drive bit by bit, you will get the exact same partition sizes when you write it to another hard drive, so if you want the new partitions to use up the entire hard drive, you will need to resize partitions :) [05:22] If you write it on a smaller drive, though... That may be a problem LOL [05:23] Since you will be basically fooling the system, saying that a partition goes from here to there but in fact, the hard disk doesn't even have that amount of space, so I don't know what might happen XD [05:24] Again, I'm in no way an expert, I'm even a Linux newbie (not exactly clueless but not experienced either), but I know computers XD [05:29] lol [05:29] thanks [05:35] :) [05:35] I'd like to say I'm a Windows expert but I don't think that will give me any credibility anyway XD [05:38] accoring to what i read there is supposed to be an option but are having trouble with that and somone said they just used gparted which is probably a lot simpliar then trying to figure out how to do it with clonezilla lol [05:50] hotwater99999: a simple way is: boot from a live pendrive while having both hard disks connected. Then run `sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb` to do a bit-for-bit clone. Finally, run `sudo gparted /dev/sdb` to do the resize. [05:50] i dont think it has a slot for two hard drives [05:51] thanks though [05:51] hotwater99999: so how are you planning to do it then?! [05:51] Saving e.g. 200 GB to an external drive? [05:51] i was thinking about clonezilla [05:52] And where would the drives be connected ? [05:52] i already a 1 tb external drive [05:52] Ah, so you're planning to do two copies [05:52] One internal=>external, and one external=> new internal [05:52] OK, it's the same thing, just two dd commands instead of one [05:52] i was thinking about cloning the drive and then putting it on a larger one [05:53] E.g. sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/media/my-external-disk/backup.img [05:53] clonezilla is more safe and does the similiar thing but better :P [05:53] Nah, all those are just front-ends for the console tools [05:53] So you're just missing a few error messages etc [05:54] Anyway, whatever you prefer === sary is now known as BenignM [06:03] guys, i moved ssd with ubuntu 16.04 to hew hardware and it booted, but what i have to do now? i mean some corrections and so on [06:04] like Dracut [06:11] !info preload | rh10 [06:11] rh10: preload (source: preload): adaptive readahead daemon. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.6.4-2 (artful), package size 34 kB, installed size 135 kB [06:12] rh10: you don't need to do anything, linux detects the hardware as it boots anyway [06:12] Only proprietary drivers need to be installed, e.g. if you didn't have nvidia and now you do [06:12] rh10: there are always tweaks you can do, to speed things up with or without ssd also [06:13] lotuspsychje, alkisg, got it thanks. [06:13] i've found https://www.pcsuggest.com/dracut-linux-ubuntu/ [06:13] rh10: dracut is not used in Ubuntu, it's using initramfs instead [06:14] I don't know where you got the idea that you need to do something with dracut [06:14] i've instaled dracut, regenerate initramfs, then systemd-analyze and it was a lot better [06:14] rh10: if you install dracut, you will probably break your installation [06:14] OK [06:14] alkisg, nope. all works fine. thanks for support [06:15] rh10: ok; am telling you this as someone with experience, but if you prefer some google blog, all fine [06:15] Just remember to mention it if things break and you come here for support, because it will most probably be the one to blame [06:15] Hi. I'm looking for a very simple thing - in my kubuntu's taskbar I'd like to see a cpu monitor, as an icon, such like here : (yeah, this is Windows) : https://images.techhive.com/images/idge/imported/article/ctw/2013/11/12/win8boost_taskman_tray-100390701-orig.png [06:15] alkisg, got it. but systemd-analyze after i rregenerate show a lot better result [06:15] konrados: perhaps the #kubuntu channel might know more of it? [06:16] rh10: that's because it's missing essential things [06:16] rh10: you can also omit other essential things and speed it up more [06:16] lotuspsychje: ok, thanks, I'll try [06:16] Just mark the word, "essential" [06:16] alkisg, what exactly essential things? [06:16] dont understand [06:17] all works fine. what i did wrong? [06:17] rh10: dracut is the initramfs system for fedora. It's somewhat experimental in the debian based world [06:17] The debian world is using initramfs-tools,so all packages support that one only [06:17] So whatever package is installing /usr/share/initramfs-tools hooks and scripts, won't put them in dracut [06:17] rh10: replacing ubuntu base packages from another could make your system break [06:18] dpkg -S /usr/share/initramfs-tools/ ==> udev, isc-dhcp-client, keyboard-configuration, kbd, fuse, busybox-initramfs, brltty, ntfs-3g, initramfs-tools, initramfs-tools-core, kmod, intel-microcode, ltsp-client-core, nbd-client, plymouth, klibc-utils, sch-scripts: /usr/share/initramfs-tools [06:18] All those packages most probably don't have equivalent scripts for dracut [06:20] alkisg, got it [06:20] ok [06:20] alkisg, thanks one more time for explanation! [06:21] You're welcome :) [06:23] alkisg, i removed dracut. installed initramfs-tools, reboot, and now im writing here :) [06:23] Good decision :D [06:23] Dracut may at some point initramfs-tools, or it may not. It's best to stick with whatever the Debian developers decide on that one. [06:23] *replace [06:24] alkisg, yeah. understood it [06:24] :) [06:25] alkisg, i dont need to do anything? i thought i had to do. because boot process was so slow [06:25] rh10: some things will be changed automatically the next time you update the kernel or install services etc, like intel/amd microcode, ureadahead prefetching etc [06:25] You won't notice anything anyway, so don't worry about them [06:26] If you were expecting the ssd to make boot 10 times faster... nah, that's on Windows, as Ubuntu is already fast on HDDs... [06:26] now, probably after reinstall initramfs-tools - boot process become a lot better. maybe it regenerate smth? [06:26] It triggers the microcode and the ureadahead hooks [06:26] alkisg, nope. im compare to old hardware boot time [06:27] Boot time isn't really important. Better check a few youtube tabs open on the internet :) [06:27] i just move ssd with working ubuntu to new hardware. [06:27] yeah. i'll chech it :) [06:27] Boot time is under a minute,right? [06:27] check* [06:27] If it's more, then it's worth to look into it, if it's less... nah [06:29] alkisg, under minute. but first time boot was a lot longer as it was on more old hardware when ssd worked before. smth like so [06:29] and im began thinking what i need to do :) [06:29] ayway thanks [06:29] anyway* [06:29] For example, wrong fstab entries may cause boot timeout delays, but they would be noticable, more than 1 min total boot time [06:30] If there are no service timeouts on boot, then it's fine [06:30] got it [06:32] alkisg, good question: what i have to read about initramfs and boot process to understand all booting process and tools using for it? [06:33] rh10: there are so many things to read that you would need to be more specific. Initramfs? Systemd? All the services? [06:34] Start reading about systemd a bit, it's the most important part, the initramfs doesn't bother people much anyway :D [06:34] alkisg, thanks 10 time :) [06:36] !systemd | rh10 suggested by alkisg [06:36] rh10 suggested by alkisg: systemd is the default init system for Ubuntu 15.04 onwards. For information on transitioning from upstart to systemd, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SystemdForUpstartUsers For a guide to basic service management with systemd, see https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-systemctl-to-manage-systemd-services-and-units [06:50] guys one more question. is it real to free cached memory? [06:50] smth like sync for disk :) [06:51] rh10: whats your engoal exactly? [06:52] lotuspsychje, mostly i want to learn how linux works with memory [06:53] mostly theoretical question [06:53] !swap | rh10 [06:53] rh10: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [06:53] rh10: but with your ssd, youl have enough speed [06:53] lotuspsychje, know about it. but im about cache [06:53] not swap [06:54] rh10: i would reccomend other tweaks to speedup things: preload, swappiness tweak,disabled unused services at boot,..system cleanup [06:55] lotuspsychje, thanks [06:56] rh10: free -m in terminal [06:57] lotuspsychje, it's for view i know it, thanks [07:22] Is kms-server-logout-greeter an Ubuntu thing or a KDE Plasma thing?

It then came up with that dependency ( libqt5gui5 (>=5.5) ) [10:01] Could not install because it was missing?

Just trying to work out how to get the dependency going. [10:07] Ben64: If you don't mind me asking. What does it mean by this in the software centre when I open teamviewer package in it?

[10:36] btw, what continent are you on? I find it strange that IRC activity seems to be very tied to time, as if only Europeans used it. [10:37] (or I'm not seeing 90% of IRC traffic for some reason) [10:39] adrian_1908: I'd imagine that is the case. Plus, it is a work week so most European nations would be working at this time. [10:40] test [10:40] can confirm. working. [10:41] hi there wega [10:41] onlyabyte: Yes indeed, if Europeans are working or sleeping, most channels seem to die out for me. I would have assumed Americans to make up the majority of any given channel of this kind. [10:42] is this still a good place for beginner linux? [10:42] adrian_1908: The whole of the US is still asleep, https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/ [10:42] intern1t-error: What do you mean? [10:43] onlyabyte: yes, but 3am-5am CET would be evening comfortably evening in the continental U.S. and this channel is pretty much dead by then. [10:44] from what i understand there used to be a channel called #ubuntu-beginners and when I try to join that channel it redirects to here.

[10:46] Maybe everyone has moved on to web-based chats like Gitter and Slack, or we all ended up in some outcast network outside of Facebook & Co. without noticing. [10:46] But enough of that. [10:46] hmm. [10:48] adrian_1908: I'd imagine people aren't even aware that IRC exists. I suppose all the kids these days use services such as Discord. [10:50] adrian_1908: Oh well.

[11:16] I ask because I'm trying to get dnscrypt-proxy working to route DNS traffic, and it should be working, but it's not. A tip on the internet suggests removing /etc/resolv.conf after disabling systemd-resolver and I wanted to know if this was a good idea if I ever wanted to think about using systemd-resolver again [11:30] Leevancleef_: You could simply rename it, e.g. `mv /etc/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf.bak` and try. The file doesn't contain any active lines by default, so it should not make a difference. [11:38] adrian_1908: Good idea. And it was that file that made all the difference, oddly enough [11:39] Well that's fortunate! :D [11:50] where can i find the ubuntu 16.04 md5sum? the !hashes link only gives 16.04.3 [11:50] nvrmnd i think i got it [11:51] nope same, thing pressing on "xenial" also gives 16.04.3 [11:52] found i here, http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/16.04.0/MD5SUMS [11:52] *it [12:03] Leevancleef_, use your resolved.conf file for your DNS entries.they work for me, but I use a static IP and I don't use network-manager [12:17] is launchpad broken? [12:21] hi, I updated from 17.04 -> 17.10 and it looks like zypper is broken. How can I install the previous version of libzypp? [12:24] BluesKaj: Thanks, but DNScrypt is its own protocol which offers end-to-end encryption for DNS queries. dnscrypt-proxy uses its own config file which works once resolved.conf gets out of the way, so I think it's designed to do it that way [12:25] can someone help me with something very simple [12:26] Leevancleef_, yeah encryption protocol comes with it's own problems :/ [12:26] tty2 is well... its like an xterm window that crashed [12:26] how do i like kill it [12:26] or close it [12:26] tty1 opened it on tty2 when i ran xinit i think [12:26] then i ctrl-c from tty1 later on [12:26] and tty2 still shows as like...

[12:27] akik: yes which I need for a chroot build enviroment [12:28] and is in the ubuntu repo's [12:28] but is broken in 17.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zypper/+bug/1726947 [12:28] Launchpad bug 1726947 in zypper (Ubuntu) "artful: zypper links against wrong libzypp.so" [Undecided,Confirmed] [12:30] not sure where to ask such a question, my terminal started printing literal sequences, so I get a ^L on screen when I try to clear the screen, or a literal ^A when trying to go to line start [12:31] I figure it's some tty setting I inadvertently enabled, can someone help me figuring out what this is? [12:31] I can ofc kill the window and have a new working terminal, I'm asking out of curiosity to understand what's this due to === SimonNL is now known as SimonNL_Afk [12:48] anddam: type "reset" to reset the terminal without closing it [12:49] Escape characters can set it to a state where it's difficult to see what configuration is applied [12:51] intern1t-error: so now tty2 is text mode or graphics mode? [13:40] hi :D [13:40] anyone able to tell me why this doesnt start at boot http://paste.ubuntu.com/26183161/. the service is enabled, [13:40] i can start it manual [13:40] but after boot is says: Active: inactive (dead) [13:41] Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/emperor.uwsgi.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) [13:45] igeni, i remember a tool to debug (not really sure about that): sudo systemd-analyze verify NAME.service [13:45] igeni: I'm not very familiar with systemd, but did you run systemctl enable your.service, to install the target hook? [13:45] its enabled [13:45] no errors [13:46] Did you run that command? [13:46] yeah [13:46] ok [13:46] sudo systemd-analyze verify emperor.uwsgi.service returns empty [13:47] igeni, ia'm sure that dmesg or syslog should tell you something; try to grep -i to it [13:48] syslog is empty, nothing in dmesg [13:48] hi. can someone point me to the best driver for Radeon HD 7340, it works well but rendering seems to be very bad .. sometimes laggy. i love ubuntu and and i dont whant to switch to windows 10 but if i dont solve this graphic issue i will have to :( [13:50] only thing i can find , wich may be related [13:50] [152110.483816] audit: type=1400 audit(1513258995.196:111): apparmor="DENIED" operation="mount" info="failed type match" error=-13 profile="lxc-container-default-cgns" name="/sys/fs/cgroup/unified/" pid=4974 comm="systemd" fstype="cgroup2" srcname="cgroup" flags="rw, nosuid, nodev, noexec" [13:51] ah not,. [13:51] thats a mountn message from LXC [13:51] Anyone know of a way to stop UFW logging to dmesg but to continue logging to syslog? I want the UFW logs to be in /var/log/ufw.log only [13:55] How do I remove older kernels from my boot partition? [13:55] apt-get keeps adding them back, and especially the initrds are taking up all space [13:57] jason85, apt-get remove *older-kernel* [14:01] In 16.04, I'm trying to make dconf settings set globally, and I put a config file into /etc/dconf/db/test.d, which created hte test file, but how do I tell whether it worked? [14:01] Rather, running `dconf update` generated the file [14:01] But dconf-editor still shows previous values as default [14:11] GreatEmerald: are you trying to do mandatory gsettings, or default gsettings? === herb_ is now known as herb [14:11] For mandatory, https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/dconf/SystemAdministrators [14:12] For default gsettings, it's usually easier to just ship your own schema override file [14:15] Hi. Is there a tool to generate unique directory names ? [14:15] im trying to install AMD Catalyst™ 15.9 Proprietary Ubuntu 14.04 x86 Video Driver for Graphics Accelerators. but it has a conflict. Message says: Breaks existing package 'xserver-xorg-core-lts-xenial' conflict: fglrx () .. how do i remove that pls ?? [14:18] found it! mktemp [14:19] I'm trying to do-release-upgrade from 14.10 to 16.04. I have been told it has to be done one release at a time, which is fine. so I did one iteration and now I'm on 15.04, but if I try to do it again, it says "this tool cannot upgrade from vivid to xenial". I want it to go via the intermediate one if it needs to (which I believe it does), so how do I make it try? [14:20] https://askubuntu.com/questions/804411/how-to-perform-do-release-upgrade-from-15-04-to-15-10-once-16-04-was-already-rel I think I foudn the answer; trying it now [14:21] nope, that doesn't work for me. do-release-upgrade -d on 15.04 says "No new release found". so my question stands [14:24] ne2k, drop the -d [14:24] !eol [14:24] End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [14:24] BluesKaj, that tries to go directly to 16.04 an then says it's not possible [14:24] ne2k,^ [14:24] yup [14:25] ne2k, read above [14:25] ne2k: what do you have in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades ? [14:26] EriC^^, [DEFAULT]\nPrompt=normal (plus a load commented out stuff) [14:26] ne2k: what about /etc/apt/sources.list [14:26] !paste [14:26] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use https://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use https://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [14:27] EriC^^, old-release/ vivid and friends (just did 14.10 to 15.04 do-release-upgrade) [14:30] ne2k, whoa somewhat behind the cureve there [14:30] BluesKaj, not sure what you mean [14:30] unsuppoerted OS tio unsupported OS [14:33] BluesKaj, I'm not following you [14:34] !15.04 [14:34] Ubuntu 15.04 (Vivid Vervet) was the 22nd release of Ubuntu. Support ended on February 4, 2016. See !eol, !eolupgrade and https://ubottu.com/y/vivid [14:34] seriously, people [14:35] genii: he wants to go to 15.10, it's suggesting 'xenial' cant be upgraded, Prompt=normal === SimonNL_Afk is now known as SimonNL [14:35] this is retarded. 15.04 was always able to update to 15.10 when they were both active. why should that facility disappear just because they're not being updated any more? [14:36] Need to change the repos from archive.ubuntu.com to old-releases.ubuntu.com until you hit a supported release [14:36] genii, they were already on old-releases because, believe it or not, 14.10 and 15.04 are also old releases [14:36] ne2k: Because EOL releases get archived to old-releases.ubuntu.com [14:36] hi. anyone know how i can fix this error? "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpng16" [14:36] the do-release-upgrade from 14.10 to 15.04 just worked [14:37] I am currently trying just to manually change vivid to wily in apt-source and do apt dist-upgrade [14:37] ... [14:37] ne2k: that's not recommended [14:37] ne2k: what did -d say? that's the accepted answer on google [14:37] EriC^^, it's recommeded here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/63q18w/an_upgrade_from_vivid_to_xenial_is_not_supported/dn854c2/ [14:38] ne2k: that's just one person, also the follow up comment says it didnt work for him [14:38] EriC^^, [14:21] .... do-release-upgrade -d on 15.04 says "No new release found". [14:39] k [14:39] reddit is full of wrong suggestions, don't trust it too much [14:39] alkisg: Thanks, it seems to work when I create /etc/dconf/profile/user with the right setting for system-db [14:39] np [14:40] ne2k: oddly enough, try sudo sed -i 's/Prompt=normal/Prompt=lts/' /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades [14:40] maybe it'll work somehow [14:40] EriC^^, why would that work? lts is only for lts->lts upgrades [14:40] ne2k: why is it not working right now? [14:41] EriC^^, why is what not working? [14:41] just try it [14:41] suggest a clean install [14:41] +1 [14:41] ne2k: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [14:41] EriC^^, I'm in the middle of doing the dist-upgrade with the wily repos [14:41] funyun_, have you actually read that? [14:42] ne2k: there was a time you could jump directly to lts btw [14:43] ne2k: the update-manager from 15.04 needs to be updated from old-releases before it can upgrade to 15.10 [14:43] (afaik) [14:43] So you do need to apply the EOLUpgrades wiki page [14:45]
