[00:07] rolandbeowulf: not something i've run to before, but i haven't used this release. it might be a hint on low RAM. how much memory do yuo have there? [00:07] free -g would tell [00:10] 8 GB, i've checked htop though and it doesnt seem like my usage is *that* high [00:11] also it only lags over icons, which seems to imply it might be some sort of software issue [00:11] as if there is some sort of smooth slowdown over icons that isnt working properly [00:16] or a graphics driver issue [00:17] Also i cant seem to find the option to set up a second display in the new gnome interface [00:24] Looks like the issue was wayland [00:25] I logged out and back into xorg and it works perfectly [00:25] detects both displays too [00:26] Does anyone happen to know how to get the sidebar thing to display at the bottom? [00:27] rolandbeowulf, what version of ubuntu is this [00:27] 17.10 [00:28] rolandbeowulf, did you mean the unity laucher on the left [00:28] yeah [00:28] thats not possible [00:29] you could install gnome-shell, the other gnome3 shell [00:29] Actually just did it i think [00:30] settings > dock > position on screen: bottom [01:11] what is the story on 17.10 where openssh server does not start right away because the local nic is not activated right away in the install. [01:12] ok, I'm back with my display problem. read-edid shows Mode 0 2560 2608 2640 2720 1440 1443 1448 1481 +hsync +vsync, so the device seems to be reporting the correct information for 2560x1440, however neither X nor wayland are picking up that resolution and are defaulting to 1920x1080 [01:12] and why is ifconfig not installed by default [01:12] use ip instead [01:13] so after using ifconfig since 4.10 i know have toi use ip....sad chose [01:14] rscheideman: I understand ifconfig has been obsoleted, but is still available in net-tools or similar [01:16] Loshki: but why and when did this happen? [01:17] rscheideman: apparently you are not the only person to ask: https://serverfault.com/questions/633087/where-is-the-statement-of-deprecation-of-ifconfig-on-linux [01:19] Loshki: i mean it might be the case it is not lts version and they are trying something new [01:19] i don't remeber it in 17.04 [01:22] hey guys. just installed 17.10 trying to get samba up and running (done this a heap of times before) [01:22] i've modified my smb.conf to include the [share] i want and configured it as i've done others in the past, i've smbpasswd the user [01:22] damian: what is happening? [01:22] but whenever i try and \\browse it throws me an auth error [01:23] wondering if something's changed in recent versions, as i haven't configured it since 16.04 or so [01:24] with everything they hace changed in 17.10 i am not surprised [01:24] i think i will stick with 16.04 until 18.04 comes out. [01:25] asdf [01:26] lol damnit [01:32] i wrote a script and systemd service file for it. the script crashes on first run because it depends on something being available (an AWS IAM instance role not yet in effect), so I set the file to Restart=on-failure and RestartSec=10 but it doesn't run again. it just fails once and moves on. [01:32] how do I make it restart on failure? [01:57] hi [01:57] sho is on? [01:57] who* [01:58] qq_: use the /whois command to find out [01:58] mutante, thanksi just need to recover my ubuntu partition [01:58] can u help me please... [01:58] or smb else can help me?

[02:04] qq_: The result of the pastebin directive is a URL back in terminal, pass that link back here . [02:06] Bashing-om, mutante, https://pastebin.com/ZRCEAgAb [02:07] qq_: i can see it, and that was right use of pastebin. but .. doesnt mean i know the answer yet. what about those FAT partitions? [02:08] eh NTFS [02:08] mutante, i have dual boot [02:08] seems like a Windows thing? [02:08] yeah [02:08] so it's not really an Ubuntu question? sorry, what's the acutal question again?

[02:09] qq_: No ubuntu there in sda. All Windows .. // how do you know there was ever a ubuntu install on this drive ? [02:09] and now i have tried to see if the linux partition is detected, and i am not seeing it :( [02:09] i have 3 drives in my laptop [02:10] i think that i have updated the ubuntu and when i rebooted the system it go broken [02:10] Connection closed by 192.168.0.34 port 22 <— why i can’t connect with ssh? [02:10] i am from live ubuntu right now [02:11] qq_: As you think 3 drives . pastebin ' sudo fdisk -lu ' . we see what the story is then . [02:11] mitmf: do you control 192.168.0.34 ? [02:11] control? [02:12] i didn’t anything [02:12] mitmf: "have root" "be the admin" [02:12] is it your own machine or someone elses? [02:12] that kind of "control" [02:12] it is raspberry pi [02:12] Bashing-om, mutante, https://pastebin.com/ZguciGji [02:13] ubuntu ——> raspberry pi [02:13] mitmf: login on rasberry pi locally, then once you are on it, i would try "ssh localhost" first to see how that goes.. then i would use netstat and ps to check if sshd is running and the port is open..

[02:19] i just want to recover my ubuntu and files that i had in it [02:19] Bashing-om, [02:21] qq_: Wre me, I would reset the boot priority in bios to boot the sdd drive . see what rsults . depending on results, maybe check that file system and see what it takes to boot it ?? [02:21] wre means to talk with u in private? [02:23] Bashing-om, how to i check the file system and how after that i see what it takes to boot it? [02:23] qq_: wre is a typo .. should be were :) [02:24] ah. ok [02:25] qq_: Let's see what results in resetting the boot priority in bios to that hard drive . If it does not boot then we run a file system check and then install( re-install ) the boot code to the sdd drive . sound like a plan ? [02:28] Bashing-om, ok, sounds good [02:28] let me try then do to this. will be back shortly ;). thanks [02:28] qq_: I will await your return :) === L is now known as LoRez [02:40] can someone explain to me why: wc -l < $(ls) is NOT equivalent to either: ls | wc -l OR cat $(ls) | wc -l ?

But then i do not get in the grub menu [04:46] robozi: as soon as the bios splash screen clears depress a shift key .

[05:51] Hi, I know one of the best development laptops currently is XPS 13. are there any alternatives to that? I want a cheaper, thin laptop and I'm mostly just coding. Do you have any suggestions ? [05:51] I cannot afford XPS 13. [05:53] Elec_A: the way i see it, with a fast ssd you could make any laptop morepowerfull and the right cpu [05:53] Elec_A: i5 + samsung 850 pro ssd + ubuntu [05:53] Bashing-om Ubuntu problem https://imgur.com/gallery/rJzhD [05:54] let me have a look at samsung 850 [05:54] lotuspsychje: oh Samsung 850 is SSD [05:54] Elec_A: yes [05:55] lotuspsychje: I think you are right, I should go with i5s [05:55] Elec_A: you're shopping for a dev workstation? [05:55] The "XPS 13 Developer Edition" seems to come with a Kaby Lake i7 U-series [05:55] (laptop) [05:55] So I mean, there are a lot of comparable laptops out there [05:56] @ Elec_A [05:56] Elec_A: do you actually need high-end power? [05:56] perhaps we should take this to #ubuntu-discuss guys [05:56] i do all my dev on an x200T with a core2duo from like 10 years ago, it works just fine [05:57] mosi: yes, I do GPU coding for a GPU cluster. It would be great if I could test my CUDA codes on my laptop. but it shouldn't be really powerful, since I will just write and test my codes on my laptop. [05:57] mosi, Leevancleef Elec_A come to #ubuntu-discuss [05:58] Bashing-om, is there some alternative? [05:58] Are there* [05:58] * mosi checks out instead [05:59] robozi: At that "jojo" login box press ctl+alt+F1 . What results ?

[06:08] and it's cheap [06:08] and small [06:09] but I'm still looking [06:09] Elec_A: i'm gonna /q you real quick to keep this out of general channel [06:09] okay [06:19] Bashing-om, ok have done that and done the grub editing.

Thanks [07:37] Hello, Merlin, loved what you did in Camelot [07:37] What ppa are you using to get the package? [07:38] If using the default, try looking into a ppa directly from the dev and then trying [07:38] I'm not using ppa, just official repository [07:38] There could be a missing package that's been taken out of the official repo [07:39] yep, should I build from source using buildep? [07:40] Wouldn't hurt to try [07:41] I think I had this same issue actually and my solution was in the alternate PPA, but I don't remember what or where, it's been a while and I don't play too many PSP games [07:42] But! I wish you luck brave wizard [07:42] is safe to manually download and dependecy packages from repo? [07:44] m3rlin: all packages in apt-cache you can safely download for your system [07:45] m3rlin: but better then random install things, lookup what you need first? [07:46] lotuspsychje, ah right... just pspp packages and many dependency [07:47] lotuspsychje, I don't see pspp packages with apt-cache search pspp command. btw I disable deb-src [07:47] m3rlin: how about you tell us what you really want to do? end goal? [07:48] lotuspsychje, just download pspp packages and for resolving dependency with apt-get -f install. I hope it works [07:49] m3rlin: did you install external ppa's of any kind? [07:49] lotuspsychje, no. I'm not install ppa, just official repo === SmokinGrunts is now known as SG_Sleeps [08:09] m3rlin: worked?

[12:32] Ok. But i dont kbow how to install it from the virtual terminal [12:32] they have command line tool you run and it installs the drivers [12:33] https://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/111596 [12:33] robozi, did you drop to a VT/TTY login and install dkms and the nvidia-381 driver? [12:35] Hey, quick question. I just dist-upgraded my 16.04 installation and compiz is constantly segfaulting and trying to restart. Is there a way to prevent compiz from constantly restarting so that I can try and debug this? [12:38] you can try this: unity-tweak-tool --reset-unity [12:39] I don't use that tool however [12:39] that might reset all of unity [12:39] robozi, virtual terminal or VT use ctl+alt+F1-F6, login, then sudo apt install dkms nvidia-381, then reboot [12:39] do you have bunch of stuff configured [12:40] other option: rm -rf .compiz* [12:41] robozi, this at the login page btw [12:41] I'd rather try and fix my current setup than try and reconfigure unity and all the compiz plugins I use, thanks though. [12:42] Whooa21. So in the virtual menu i have to run that command? [12:42] ...wrong person :p [12:43] yeah sorry got confused [12:43] robozi, yes [12:44] Whooa21 totally understand [12:45] this may do the trick to disable the desktop effects [12:45] gconftool-2 --toggle /apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager [12:46] that tool can toogle many many settings for the desktop [12:48] you can turn them back on after you debug it [12:58] can i somehow 'log out' and only use a basic shell, and not display any compiz and windows? [12:59] can i somehow 'log out' and only use a basic shell, and not display any compiz and windows? [12:59] stuff is way too heavy for the small virtual machine i'm running [13:00] ozette: well you can stop X/Wayland/GDM and sit at a tty [13:01] ozette: and if you don't need a GUI at all you might as well have gone with ubuntu-server [13:03] people, how do i burn a dvd in ubuntu 17.10? the forums say there should be a "create CD/DVD option but there isn't" anyone can help me please? [13:05] hateball: why ubuntu server? [13:05] just because it comes without gui? [13:05] Blueskaj, i have run that command and i got : unable to locate pqckage nvidia-381 [13:06] But i am connected to the internet via wire [13:07] ozette: i guess so. this seems like a good idea if you're low on resources, [13:07] not sure what ubuntu-server comes with, but I just want to cross compile some software [13:07] ozette: has a different kernel as well, geared towards running server duty. nothing stopping you from simply switching runlevels etc on the desktop install [13:07] ozette: so you don't need a gui, no need for X, just what ubuntu-server provides [13:07] and you can switch to the server kernel as well [13:07] hmm [13:07] just seems a hassle compared to installing what you need in the first place [13:08] hateball: i think the kernel is the same really [13:08] ozette: if this is 17.10 I think that comes with nvidia-384 [13:08] ozette: oopes, I mean robozi ^ [13:08] ozette: if it's a systemd system: sudo systemctl isolate multi-user.target; sudo systemctl set-default multi-user.target [13:08] hateball: actually i'm quite sure. [13:09] akik: this will bring me back to basic? [13:09] ozette: it'll stop the graphical ui [13:09] robozi: you can type nvidia-38 and then press tab to have the shell autocomplete whatever package it is you have available [13:09] okay awesome, will try [13:09] !tab | robozi [13:09] robozi: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [13:09] installing ubuntu-server and purging ubuntu-desktop may also help [13:09] robozi, which ubuntu version are you on? [13:10] Ubuntu 14.04 lts [13:10] And the tab does not work [13:10] robozi: 14.04 has an older driver, probably something like nvidia-367 [13:10] And i ambusing irc from phone [13:11] robozi: at any rate you can also just run "sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall" and it will fetch and install any restricted drivers needed [13:11] I need to install nvidia 367 or 367-dev? [13:11] robozi: not the dev package, that is for compiling things [13:12] robozi: I don't remember if 367 is new enough to support the chip you have, possibly you need to use nvidia PPA for a more recent driver [13:14] How dobi use ppa? [13:15] robozi: in case you need it: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa && sudo apt update && sudo apt install nvidia-387 [13:16] people, how do i burn a dvd in ubuntu 17.10? the forums say there should be a "create CD/DVD option but there isn't" anyone can help me please? [13:16] the nvidia site recommends the 384 driver for gtx870m ...is that your gpu, robozi? [13:17] linux driver [13:17] 384 is "LTS" driver [13:17] whereas 387 is "current" [13:18] yeah, we're trying find the correct driver for his gpu, current or not [13:19] meaning that 387 will be superseded by something like nvidia-390 when that is released, and 384 will only get backported fixes [13:19] they'll both work [13:19] robozi, try to install nvidia-384 [13:22] Blueskaj, ok. Installed it. But in the unity gui after i enter my password i get the same problem [13:22] As i have showed u in the video [13:22] you have to reboot robozi [13:23] people i am trying to burn a DVD of documents as backup, it is not working in ubuntu 17.10 i keep getting an error saying "something went wrong ejecting disk" i am using braserro can someone help me burn these DVD? is there is default setting in ubuntu?
