[00:29] <robozi> Bashing-om, installed and rebooted. No unity gui yet and i got to an black screen. But able to switch to virtual terminal
[00:33] <Bashing-om> robozi: What desktop are we dealing with ' ls -al /usr/share/xsessions/ ' ?
[00:35] <robozi> http://termbin.com/540e
[00:35] <robozi> Bashing-om,
[00:41] <Bashing-om> robozi: ' cat /usr/share/xsessions/ubuntu.desktop ' .

[00:43] <robozi> Bashing-om
[00:46] <Bashing-om> robozi: correct to . sledge hammer approach ' sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop ' .
[00:50] <robozi> Done

[01:11] <robozi> Clicking that screen does nothing
[01:12] <robozi> Just makes me unable ro continue typing in the current tab/window

[01:33] <Leevancleef> I require /etc/resolv.conf to not exist, but something keeps generating it on every reboot. Anyone know what it is and how to stop it?
[01:43] <jiqiren> Leevancleef: dhcp?
[01:44] <Leevancleef> jiqiren, possibly, but I'm trying to figure out how I can safely alter its behavior
[01:46] <Bashing-om> robozi: Well graphic's driver is installed, loaded and working . An issue in your user account ? what now do you see in the guest account ?
[01:46] <jiqiren> Leevancleef: what's the goal of not having a resolv.conf ?
[01:47] <Leevancleef> jiqiren, it's somehow blocking the functionality of dnscrypt-proxy, which I have used to replace systemd-resolved
[01:49] <robozi> Bashing-on, black screen after the ubuntu logo
[01:53] <Leevancleef> jiqiren, don't worry about it. The error was PEBCAK
[01:53] <Leevancleef> Didn't see that resolv.conf address was slightly wrong by default
[01:56] <Bashing-om> robozi: Grasping here now ' rm ~/.dmrc ~/.gconf ~/.gconfd ~/.metacity ~/.compiz-1 ~/.config/compiz-1 ~/.config/dconf -rf <-  those are the folder that contain the config files for unity, compiz and gnome. if you delete them everything gets reset.
[01:57] <jiqiren> Leevancleef: glad you figured it out, i've never touched dnscrypt-proxy so didn't have anything to share :)
[01:57] <Leevancleef> robozi still can't boot? Is there at least a suspect yet?
[02:02] <robozi> Bashing-om ~ my keboard doea not have this symbol :(
[02:03] <robozi> it is a pt-pt keyboard
[02:04] <quarters> hello. testdisk ruined my luks partition by forcing it to be an ntfs partition and I was trying to change it back to a lvm partition using gdisk but I get a warning about "about to write gpt data. This will overwrite existing partitions" I reckon this means that I lose everything on the disk.  If so, how can I fix the messed up partition using gdisk without nuking my entire disk?
[02:06] <Bashing-om> robozi: the " ~/ " is shorthand for "your" home directory . substitue then /home/<username>/ for ~/ .
[02:07] <robozi> Bashing-om https://1drv.ms/i/s!AqpWcyP6BllXiLIG7IEa2j2My1jFSg
[02:08] <robozi> The symbol is at the top and not middle
[02:10] <Bashing-om> robozi: :) .. but in that last I have no idea of what pythonenvwrapper is all about :(
[02:18] <robozi> Bashing-om, ran that lenghty rm cmd and restarted.  No advances
[02:20] <Bashing-om> robozi: Ouch - ' sudo prime-select nvidia ' ?
[02:21] <ulysses_> Hola Ubuntuers

[02:42] <robozi> Bashing-om ..... lol
[02:43] <hosas> having problem updating apps because of "ImportError: No module named 'six'" but this package is installed already. pls I need your help -  thanks
[02:44] <bonhoeffer> i'm trying to set up sftp -- getting an "authentication error" is there a good log to check
[02:47] <kenrin> You could check auth,  or just use -vvv
[02:47] <kenrin> /var/log/auth.log that is
[02:50] <bonhoeffer> ok -- i got this log on the client: https://gist.github.com/tbbooher/85e4ea994fcdadfe36f01e40db20aecb
[02:51] <kenrin> Looks like it is only setup to use an ssh key and you aren't providing one
[02:51] <bonhoeffer> ok -- thanks
[02:51] <bonhoeffer> I see -- i have set up passwordless access -- this is conflicting here
[02:52] <dedondesta> what is the prefered way to apply iptables rules upon ubuntu start?
[02:52] <hosas> I'm repeating this question because I got logged out by network failure
[02:52] <bonhoeffer> i like that setting for regular ssh logins -- so i have to keep that for sftp
[02:52] <bonhoeffer> i have to be consistent?
[02:52] <bonhoeffer> right?
[02:52] <kenrin> The way I usually set it up is allow ssh only on root user
[02:53] <kenrin> That way people can still sftp
[02:53] <kenrin> er,  only ssh key for root user I mean
[02:53] <bonhoeffer> ok -- so i could allow for only one user to login /ssh by password
[02:53] <bonhoeffer> and restrict all others
[02:54] <hosas> I'm having problems updating apps because of: No module named 'six' - but the package is already installed.  thks
[02:54] <kenrin> Yeah,  you can put a Match User thing into your sshd_config
[02:54] <bonhoeffer> https://serverfault.com/questions/307407/ssh-allow-password-for-one-user-rest-only-allow-public-keys
[02:54] <bonhoeffer> kenrin, thanks
[02:56] <kenrin> hosas:  the only thing I can think of is you got multiple python versions installed and you put six on the wrong one ?
[02:58] <hosas> kenrin: I installed it in both 2.7 and 3.6 - now it's stopping from updating others apps
[02:59] <kenrin> Does it error if you python3 -c "import six"
[02:59] <bonhoeffer> kenrin, amazing thanks
[02:59] <bonhoeffer> works perfectly
[02:59] <Bashing-om> robozi: ' sudo apt-get install ubuntu-session ' session-setup-script is run before a user session starts. If this command returns an error the session will not start (user is returned to a greeter).
[03:01] <robozi> That was already installed
[03:01] <robozi> Bashing-on
[03:04] <hosas> kenrin: yes it does give me error
[03:05] <Bashing-om> robozi: ' ps aux | grep -i lightdm ' is lightdm even running ?
[03:05] <hosas> kenrin: it says: "ImportError: No module named 'six'"
[03:07] <kenrin> I'd try installing six with pip,  or see if you got any PPAs that are messing up
[03:07] <kenrin> python3 -m pip install six
[03:08] <hosas> ok
[03:09] <hosas> kenrin: it says: "Successfully installed six-1.11.0"
[03:09] <hosas> let me try updating the apps again
[03:13] <hosas> kenrin: it worked a thousand thks
[03:13] <kenrin> No problem,  those multiple python versions are killer~
[03:15] <Leevancleef> robozi, could it be that your installation media was corrupt/
[03:16] <robozi> How do i know that?
[03:16] <robozi> Leevancleef
[03:16] <Leevancleef> Create another and try again

[03:58] <Shmam> Just installed mysql-server with apt and running "mysql_secure_installation". What is the current root password? Blank doesnt work, my root password for system, and I cant think of what else to try.
[04:01] <Bashing-om> robozi: IK .. but I do not understand why the system is screaming about /org/compiz/ !
[04:03] <Bashing-om> robozi: ' dconf dump /org/compiz/ ' to see the Compiz settings you have .
[04:05] <robozi> Bashing-om, that command gives no output
[04:05] <Bashing-om> robozi: scratching my head again .
[04:06] <Shmam> where is the default mysql password?
[04:07] <strive> Shmam: There is none.
[04:08] <Bashing-om> robozi: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/1166765 .
[04:09] <Shmam> strive: when I run "mysql_secure_installation" it prompts for root password and blank or my system root password doesnt work
[04:09] <Shmam> so how do I get into it to set it up?
[04:09] <Ben64> Shmam: need the mysql root password
[04:09] <Shmam> the guide that I'm following says that mysql will prompt you for a password but it didn't on mine: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-apache-mysql-php-lamp-stack-on-ubuntu-16-04#step-2-install-mysql
[04:10] <Shmam> This is a fresh install on a new server
[04:10] <Shmam> mine just installed as any other application would
[04:10] <Ben64> it does ask you when installing mysql
[04:10] <Shmam> nope
[04:10] <Shmam> I just tried purgeing it and reinstalling and still nothing
[04:11] <Ben64> it does. anyway to reset it https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/resetting-permissions.html
[04:12] <Shmam> http://paste.debian.net/1000949/
[04:12] <Shmam> thats the install log
[04:14] <Ben64> Shmam: what os are you on
[04:14] <Shmam> Right now it's debian but I ran into the exact same problem on my ubuntu server
[04:14] <Ben64> so go to #debian
[04:14] <Shmam> maybe it's because the apt version is out of date?
[04:17] <hggdh> also ask why a install of mysql-server also brings in mariadb
[04:17] <Ben64> ask in #debian though
[04:18] <hggdh> indeed. BTW, this does not seem to happen on 16.04 or Bionic

[04:23] <Bashing-om> robozi: .. ouch . lemme look .
[04:25] <Bashing-om> robozi: still look'n bit you have the 384 version vice " libglx.so.340.32 " .
[04:27] <robozi> Gives me this error; https://1drv.ms/i/s!AqpWcyP6BllXiLIPoY6TcmrkBmuhFw
[04:29] <robozi> Yeah, i know about my version
[04:30] <robozi> But my problem is right in the :
[04:30] <robozi> cd /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/
[04:30] <robozi> I dont have this dirwctory
[04:38] <Bashing-om> robozi: That directory is for sure required ! I do not have a clue here what to do !
[04:40] <robozi> In /home i have the dolder /xorg but there is no other folder inside with extentions
[04:41] <robozi> My xorg folder just has /mesa /libva and /drm
[04:43] <Bashing-om> robozi: the path here starts a /usr; not your home . what returns ' ls -al /usr/lib/xorg/modules/ ' ?
[04:46] <robozi> http://termbin.com/3bev
[04:47] <robozi> Bashing-om
[04:49] <Bashing-om> robozi: so far so good as it is there " drwxr-xr-x 2 root root   4096 Dez 15 22:32 extensions" . now what shows ' ls -al /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/ ' ?
[04:52] <robozi> Drwxr-xr-x command not found
[04:56] <Bashing-om> robozi: No ..  the system IS telling you the truth that " Drwxr-xr-x ' is not found . The quote is but to show you that the path is valid .
[04:57] <robozi> Ah, i see the path is valid but the command is not able to acces it
[04:59] <Bashing-om> robozi: Next step in the path ... what results ' ls -al /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/ '
[05:01] <robozi> It says that cannot acces it, no such file or directory
[05:02] <robozi> Bashing-om
[05:02] <robozi> Strange
[05:02] <robozi> That is strange
[05:04] <Bashing-om> robozi: Ouch that blows me away . the output of ls -al /usr/lib/xorg/modules/ clearly shows the extensions directory :(
[05:20] <robozi> Bashing-om, how we arw going to proceed?
[05:22] <Bashing-om> robozi: Got the better of me .. missing a system directory .. re-install the operating system ?? . again make sute that /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/ does not exost .
[05:22] <Bashing-om> sute/sure*
[05:22] <lotuspsychje> robozi: can you tell us what your end goal is with modules? what are you trying to do exactly?

[05:26] <kantlivelong> redhat has an article but subscriber only - https://access.redhat.com/solutions/53354
[05:26] <Takagami> Depends on the distribution and version of windows...
[05:27] <lotuspsychje> !dualboot | pepperbrush
[05:27] <Bashing-om> robozi: Oh my .. so confused as you do state " It says that cannot acces it, no such file or directory" . what is the trith here in respect to /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/ ?
[05:27] <lotuspsychje> pepperbrush: with an ssd, i would surely install ubuntu single on the ssd
[05:27] <Bashing-om> truth*
[05:27] <pepperbrush> I don't mean getting everything to work, just ideas for splitting the drives up
[05:28] <lotuspsychje> !partitioning | pepperbrush can this help?
[05:30] <pepperbrush> I was thinking of putting the OS for both on the SSD and programs on the HDD
[05:30] <lotuspsychje> pepperbrush: main Os on the ssd is always good idea for speed
[05:31] <pepperbrush> I'm going to put both OSes on the SSD, half and half should be fine
[05:31] <robozi> Bashing-om https://1drv.ms/i/s!AqpWcyP6BllXiLIRiWDvBPBjeF9MRA
[05:31] <pepperbrush> I guess I just haven't decided how to split the HDD
[05:32] <pepperbrush> maybe start out with a small ntfs partition and extend it if I want more space?
[05:37] <Bashing-om> robozi: You are miss-spelling " extensions " . :(

[07:12] <Art100> hello - need help to configure network bridge in netplan
[07:50] <PissWizard> does Ubuntu usually have software that's horribly out of date in the repository?
[07:52] <PissWizard> if I've already installed it, will the "ubnutu software center" display the installed version, or the latest version in the repository?
[07:53] <alkisg> !latest
[07:53] <alkisg> So no horribly out of date, but the latest stable version before release
[07:54] <PissWizard> "stable"? isn't it stable if it's released? Chromium is at version 65 now, and I only have version 62. I've had the same situation with Wine.
[07:54] <ducasse> PissWizard: as long as you update, you will always have the latest available version for your release, but ubuntu does not normally release new versions of packages for a release
[07:54] <alkisg> Suppose wine ships stable version 2.5 somewhere in 2015. Then Ubuntu 16.04 will have that, for 5 years.
[07:55] <PissWizard> hehehehehe. that's crazy.
[07:55] <alkisg> It's not a rolling release, it doesn't follow newer stable versions
[07:55] <alkisg> No, it's what people want
[07:55] <alkisg> If you want a rolling release, google for it, there are many
[07:55] <PissWizard> it is? everything gets broken for me though. web pages won't load. games won't work under Wine.
[07:56] <alkisg> !sru
[07:56] <alkisg> This is how to request a newer stable version for a specific package, e.g. wine
[07:57] <alkisg> Suppose I have office 2011 working in wine. I *don't want* a newer stable version because it might break it. *You* may want it for games. Use a ppa or a rolling release or whatever; I'm just saying that what Ubuntu chose has valid reasons
[07:57] <alkisg> E.g. I'm using the ppa for wine staging here
[07:57] <PissWizard> yeah. I had to do the same thing.
[07:58] <PissWizard> I realize it's probably short-sighted to just be looking to solve my own problem as efficiently as possible instead of putting the wheels in motion to get the system working with ... requesting a newer stable version, but I'm a complete wreck of a "human being".
[07:58] <alkisg> They had to divert from that reasoning for the kernel, xorg, firefox and chrome, where they constantly allow newer versions. You can't imagine how many systems those new versions break.
[07:59] <PissWizard> huh.
[08:04] <auronandace> PissWizard: one solution for wine is to use playonlinux. that will let you use whatever version of wine you want
[08:05] <PissWizard> auronandace, is that any easier to update it? because I'd have to figure out how to get that working.
[08:05] <PissWizard> I struggle with everything. I'm struggling right now to figure out how to install a newer version of Chromium.
[08:07] <auronandace> PissWizard: it manages all the wine versions. think of it like a package manager for wine. new versions of wine will show in the management section
[08:07] <PissWizard> I've been unable to use this video chatroom website called "wekiki" every since it came out a year ago.
[08:08] <PissWizard> so I thought I'd try updating Chromium.
[08:08] <PissWizard> maybe it's because it's Chromium instead of Chrome.
[08:08] <auronandace> PissWizard: what version of ubuntu are you on?
[08:08] <PissWizard> uh....
[08:09] <PissWizard> .... 16.04?
[08:09] <PissWizard> oh, it's Xubuntu actually
[08:09] <auronandace> PissWizard: they share the same repositories
[08:10] <PissWizard> but that's the same except for the desktop UI thingie, right?
[08:10] <auronandace> PissWizard: yes
[08:10] <auronandace> !info | chromium-browser xenial
[08:11] <auronandace> !info chromium-browser xenial
[08:11] <auronandace> PissWizard: 63 is the latest at the moment
[08:11] <PissWizard> what? mine's 62.0.3202.94
[08:12] <auronandace> PissWizard: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[08:12] <PissWizard> I gotta close my browser for that, yeah?
[08:12] <auronandace> PissWizard: that would help
[08:13] <PissWizard> .... maybe I can do that now. uhg. I'm so bad at everything.
[08:17] <PissWizard> oh no. I see Wine in there. I hope it doesn't break anything. also I need to remember to erase all it's links to my files every time it updates. bloody nosy thing!
[08:18] <auronandace> PissWizard: erase all links to your files?
[08:19] <PissWizard> it resets the default every time it updates. there's no links to erase.
[08:19] <auronandace> PissWizard: i have no idea what you mean
[08:20] <PissWizard> hm. did it not update? normally in winecfg the.... desktop integration tab, folders, all that stuff points to default directories.
[08:21] <auronandace> PissWizard: seriously, use playonlinux.
[08:39] <dupondje> Hi all. I got this kind of keyboard on my laptop: https://ssli.ebayimg.com/images/g/MkAAAOxyIPNTc5tL/s-l640.jpg
[08:40] <dupondje> but how to enable the rupee and euro sign on 4 and 5 ?
[08:47] <PissWizard> dupondje, isn't that just a european layout?
[08:49] <dupondje> PissWizard: well its Qwerty International according to dell :D
[08:50] <PissWizard> settings -> keyboard -> layout -> Keyboard layout. edit that to English{UK} instead of English{US}.
[08:50] <PissWizard> hm. I dunno. I don't see "English{International}" or anything.
[08:52] <PissWizard> pretty sure "English{UK}" is what would be considered "international" anyway.
[08:52] <PissWizard> all that European thing is very international.
[09:00] <PissWizard> oh, hm, there's sub-listings under English{UK} and I see one for International. maybe try that. I noticed UK has that Euro currency symbol on 4 instead of 5.
[09:09] <alkisg> dupondje: https://askubuntu.com/questions/354726/how-to-type-the-indian-rupee-symbol?rq=1
[09:16] <viju> I am getting unable to get lock on /var/lib/dpkg/lock while trying to update packages
[09:16] <dupondje> alkisg: found that also.. Thing is, how to access that menu in 17.10 :D
[09:17] <azureus> good  morning
[09:21] <bjne> Anyone know why the ls-lR.gz files in ubuntu repositories does not correctly reflect the content of the repo?
[09:29] <alkisg> viju: it's probably apt-daily doing its work, just wait
[10:37] <learningc> Sometimes there is an application open, but I cannot switch to it.  Is this a known bug in ubuntu 16.04?
[10:38] <alkisg> No
[10:56] <Shawn|i7-720QM> is there a way to make CLI have a background color, and have more resolution?
[10:56] <Shawn|i7-720QM> without a window manager?
[10:56] <Ben64> depends what you mean by CLI
[10:56] <Shawn|i7-720QM> and have a special font
[10:56] <Shawn|i7-720QM> command line interface
[10:56] <Shawn|i7-720QM> the plain CLI
[10:56] <Ben64> depends what you mean by command line interface
[10:56] <Shawn|i7-720QM> for pity sake..
[10:57] <Shawn|i7-720QM> the native CLI
[10:57] <Ben64> depends what you mean by the native CLI
[10:57] <Shawn|i7-720QM> outside of window mangers as I have said before
[10:57] <bazhang> Shawn|i7-720QM, as in a bash term?
[10:57] <Ben64> are you talking about a terminal application? the consoles on tty1-6?
[10:57] <Shawn|i7-720QM> sure.. if thats what its called bazhang
[10:58] <bazhang> Shawn|i7-720QM, did you see what Ben64 just asked?
[11:00] <Shawn|i7-720QM> of course what about it
[11:00] <Shawn|i7-720QM> his question is pertaining to a desktop environment, as I have said, outside of any desktop manager..
[11:01] <Shawn|i7-720QM> or bash
[11:01] <Ben64> well, i tried
[11:05] <pizzaburger> Hi! Are there any methods of making sure that all communication through internet goes through a VPN server when utilizing one?
[11:06] <Shawn|i7-720QM> :(
[11:10] <alkisg> Shawn|i7-720QM: there are graphical applications = terminals, and there's the linux console that doesn't support graphics. You can run bash in both. So people here were asking you which terminal application you're using
[11:11] <alkisg> Shawn|i7-720QM: if you have windows and graphics, it's a "desktop environment", if you only have text because e.g. you installed ubuntu server, then it's the console
[11:11] <alkisg> And your question is answered differently in each case
[11:13] <Shawn|i7-720QM> why application? is bash called an application?
[11:13] <Shawn|i7-720QM> I thought application referred to a desktop manager residing program
[11:13] <alkisg> bash is an application and terminals are applications and the console is an application too
[11:14] <Shawn|i7-720QM> I thought bash ran programs, and desktop managers ran applications
[11:14] <alkisg> Anyway, if you don't know how to answer the questions, we can guide to answer them
[11:14] <Shawn|i7-720QM> applet=application
[11:14] <alkisg> If you don't want to answer them, you're trolling and we shouldn't waste more time
[11:14] <Shawn|i7-720QM> I'm not trolling, just looking for reasoning
[11:14] <alkisg> For general offtopic questions, try #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:15] <alkisg> Let's continue on topic now, for specific support questions
[11:15] <Shawn|i7-720QM> I am here, because I am using ubuntu server
[11:15] <alkisg> This is the desktop channel, there's an #ubuntu-server dedicated channel
[11:16] <alkisg> So you should start with that information before continuing :)
[11:16] <Shawn|i7-720QM> oh..
[11:16] <Shawn|i7-720QM> thank you
[11:16] <alkisg> That said, some questions can be answered here as well
[11:16] <rcw2> hi, using virtualbox on ubuntu and i have a seperate harddrive attached via usb with an old installation of ubuntu.  trying to discover the exact steps for using and boot into that old installtion.  any help?
[11:17] <rcw2> i have a vdi created already
[11:17] <rcw2> i think thats the first step
[11:17] <alkisg> rcw2: one quick method is sudo apt install kvm; sudo kvm -m 1024 /dev/sdb
[11:17] <alkisg> :)
[11:17] <alkisg> For virtualbox,you need to create a .vmdk that contains the whole sdb
[11:18] <alkisg> There's a special chapter about that,using vboxmanage
[11:18] <Art100> does anyone know how to configure a network bridge in netplan yaml
[11:20] <alkisg> rcw2: https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch09.html#rawdisk
[11:23] <tzanolo> Client: HexChat 2.12.4 • OS: Ubuntu "artful" 17.10 • CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4510U CPU @ 2.00GHz (2,59GHz) • Memory: Physical: 7,5 GiB Total (6,0 GiB Free) Swap: 7,7 GiB Total (7,7 GiB Free) • Storage: 270,4 GB / 972,9 GB (702,5 GB Free) • VGA: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller @ Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT DRAM Controller • Uptime: 22m 26s
[11:28] <rcw2> alkisg thanks a lot.  must the old drive plugged into usb be smaller than the new drive that has virtual box on it?  for example. new drive: 500gb old drive plugged in: 1TB.  is that going to make this not possible?  the old installation only takes up say 20GB.  so if i make the vmdk 20GB will it work this way do you know?
[11:33] <alkisg> rcw2: I think you misunderstood, the .vmdk will be only 1 kb, and will point to your external disk
[11:33] <alkisg> It won't occupy any space in your hard disk
[11:34] <alkisg> It's a text file that points to the external device, which is accessed raw
[11:34] <alkisg> You don't create it from the gui, but with a terminal command
[11:34] <alkisg> If you already created a vmdk disk, delete it, it's not useful
[11:40] <rcw2> alkisg,  gotcha.  the instructions you sent were for a CLI, but do you know if its possible to use the GUI to 1. create the vmdk (in the exact way necessary, I know i can create a vmdk) and 2. point to the old hdd via that vmdk?
[11:43] <alkisg> rcw2: as I already said, this isn't possible using the gui

[17:04] <yellabs-r2> hi there
[17:04] <leftyfb> superKiller: do you have access to the configuration of your router? (192.168.0.1)
[17:05] <yellabs-r2> can i run and install ubuntu 17.10 on 32 bit laptop ?
[17:05] <yellabs-r2> or can i  install the 64 bit iso on the 32 bit pc ?
[17:05] <leftyfb> yellabs-r2: the 64bit iso will not work on a 32bit pc
[17:06] <bonhoeffer> i installed a ftp server yesterday -- now i have sftp working -- how can i kill the ftp service now and only allow sftp
[17:06] <yellabs-r2> ok, so its the last 32 bit ubuntu LTS , and then no more 32 bit , right ?
[17:06] <bonhoeffer> specifically vsftp service that i set up -- wondering if i can kill this
[17:06] <yellabs-r2> thats 16.04
[17:07] <bonhoeffer> and still sftp over port 22
[17:07] <leftyfb> bonhoeffer: uninstall the ftp server
[17:07] <leftyfb> yellabs-r2: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/09/ubuntu-17-10-32-bit-builds-dropped
[17:07] <bonhoeffer> cool -- so uninstall vsftp
[17:07] <yellabs-r2> yes ok, to bad
[17:07] <yellabs-r2> but understandable
[17:07] <yellabs-r2> ;)
[17:07] <bonhoeffer> leftyfb, ?
[17:08] <leftyfb> yellabs-r2: https://www.ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads
[17:08] <leftyfb> yellabs-r2: download the 32bit server iso, install it, then install ubuntu-desktop or whatever DE you want
[17:08] <bonhoeffer> sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove vsftpd <-- ?
[17:08] <leftyfb> bonhoeffer: sure ... if the opposite is how you installed it
[17:08] <superKiller_> leftyfb: sorry i got disconnected
[17:08] <leftyfb> superKiller: do you have access to the configuration of your router? (192.168.0.1)
[17:09] <leftyfb> superKiller_: ^
[17:09] <yellabs-r2> or use network install , that an idea , thanxs
[17:09] <bonhoeffer> just wanted to make sure i wasn't killing dependencies that sftp needed
[17:09] <leftyfb> bonhoeffer: sftp/scp uses ssh
[17:09] <yellabs-r2> i386 - For 32-bit Intel/AMD (x86)
[17:09] <yellabs-r2> cool
[17:09] <yellabs-r2> :)
[17:09] <yellabs-r2> thanx again
[17:10] <superKiller_> leftyfb: yes. why
[17:10] <leftyfb> superKiller_: to clarify if your ISP is assigning you a DNS server that isn't resolving dl.google.com for some reason
[17:10] <bonhoeffer> thanks leftyfb
[17:11] <leftyfb> superKiller_: and if so, change it to google's or some other public DNS so you don't have this problem anymore
[17:11] <superKiller_> leftyfb: okay. can you pls explain to me(if possible) why the 8.8.8.8 change worked ?
[17:12] <leftyfb> superKiller_: because that is google's public DNS server which works just fine. There's no problem with your pc at all. It's the DNS server you were using before we changed it to google's
[17:13] <leftyfb> superKiller_: I'd like to find out what DNS server your ISP is assigning to you via DHCP, test it directly and if it fails, just do away with it and use a public DNS server like google's
[17:13] <superKiller_> leftyfb: and so if i keep it to that setting is that okay ?
[17:14] <superKiller_> leftyfb: in there i have 2 forms. one is primary dns and the other is secondary dns. both are set to 0.0.0.0
[17:14] <leftyfb> superKiller_: If the DNS server your ISP is giving you is failing on something like dl.google.com, there's probably other issues you're going to run into down the road. With anything connected to the internet. The proper solution is to first verify 100% this is the case and then change it on your router so all your devices get a properly working DNS server
[17:15] <superKiller_> leftyfb: ok.what can i do to verify this
[17:15] <leftyfb> superKiller_: At the moment, we're not looking for how to change it, we're looking for the networking configs your ISP has giving you. Find out where on your router config it'll display your WAN/public ip info
[17:16] <superKiller_> leftyfb: so what field am i looking for
[17:17] <leftyfb> WAN or public ip info
[17:17] <superKiller_> yes i do see the info tab
[17:21] <elec64> is dri2 a fedora thing?
[17:21] <elec64> s/fedora/ubuntu/
[17:32] <lodg> hi guys. plese help me. then i try to connect to my openvpn server from command line from user i see ERROR: Cannot ioctl TUNSETIFF tun: Operation not permitted (errno=1) with sudo no problem
[17:34] <lodg> ubuntu 17.10 network manager gnome also does not connect
[17:36] <BluesKaj> lodg, sudo is rtequired for vpn terminal connection command
[17:36] <lodg> BluesKaj, what about gui?
[17:37] <alkisg> wow, network manager is much better there :D
[17:37] <strive> lodg: Just remember to run as root :)
[17:39] <lodg> OK. why the manager does not connect with the imported ovpn file?
[17:43] <lodg> activation of network connection failed. in previous ubuntu versions (>17.10) there were no problems
[17:43] <jakeunltd> sudo apt-get install networkmanager-openvpn-gnome
[17:43] <jakeunltd> or something like that
[17:45] <lodg> jakeunltd, installed and import working ovpn file
[17:47] <BluesKaj> lodg, make sure the .ovpn file is located in /etc/openvpn
[17:49] <transhuman_> Hi! my problem is definitely ubuntu 17.04 (latest) it doesnt run network right. other versions run it fine other vms with different ubuntu versions run fine same virtual settings and same virtual host
[17:50] <lodg> import in gui is not enough?
[17:50] <transhuman_> must be missing a virtual driver (any idea what it might be and how to fix?
[17:50] <transhuman_> if it was on vmware I know its open-vm-tools but this is centos
[17:50] <transhuman_> err host is centos but this is kvm ...sorry for the typo
[17:52] <BluesKaj> lodg, that depends on the vpn gui configuration
[17:53] <lodg> BluesKaj, ovpn file is not in this directory /etc/openvpn after importing
[17:55] <lodg> BluesKaj, if you use ubuntu 17.10 Can I share a file with you so you can check the problem?
[17:55] <BluesKaj> lodg, yes, because NM uses it's own confif files, and the gui relies on N
[17:55] <BluesKaj> NM
[17:58] <lodg> How can I contact you?
[18:06] <BluesKaj> lodg, which vpn service first of all?
[18:07] <BluesKaj> lodg, also make sure you have network-manager-openvpn-gnome installed
[18:08] <lodg> BluesKaj, I'm using openvpn docker image (kylemanna/docker-openvpn) in scaleway vps
[18:09] <BluesKaj> lodg,I'm not familiar with using a vpn in a vps and docker images
[18:11] <lodg> ok how to debug nm and view error logs?
[18:17] <BluesKaj> lodg, /var/log/syslog?
[18:25] <pennTeller> Hi guys anybody have any experience debranding odoo CRM? Their channel seems to be dead
[18:30] <transhuman_> anyone able to tell me what the open-vm-tools equivalent for KVM tools is?
[18:30] <transhuman_> open-vm-tools is for vmware
[18:48] <yeats> transhuman_: what do open-vm-tools do?  beyond virsh there's virt-manager if you want a GUI
[18:53] <transhuman_> I thought they optimize the guest for control by the host
[18:54] <transhuman_> and also for networking optimization I think its necessary thats why vmware uses it
[18:54] <transhuman_> I have the virt-manager installed. Its a problem with IPv6 I have narrowed it down after disabling IPv6 it works perfectly
[18:56] <EgoAleSum> hi, I’ve installed the zfs-auto-snap package, and it’s working but it’s only executing the “frequent” snapshots (every 15 mins) and not the hourly, daily, etc… any idea?
[19:04] <EgoAleSum> ok i think the issue is that scripts in /etc/cron.(daily|hourly|weekly|monthly) are not executed automatically?
[19:10] <robozi> Why ubuntu channel is so quite?
[19:10] <robozi> It used to have many active people bqck in the time
[19:12] <someone235_> Hi, I have a USB with ubuntu installation. How can I check if it's 32bit or 64bit?
[19:13] <yeats> transhuman_: depending on the guest OS, check out https://www.spice-space.org/
[19:13] <apb1963> I'm getting raw php from apache; I can't figure out why php isn't executing the code; it's just a one line echo currently. ubuntu 16.04
[19:15] <yeats> someone235_: boot it up and do 'uname -a' in a terminal - it will either say i686 or x86_64
[19:20] <someone235_> yeats, k thx
[19:27] <alexas> I have installed the second Ubuntu and when I tried to copy files from the Ubuntu I previously used I have an error 'Error splicing file: input/output error' any help will be appreciated
[19:27] <alexas> they both on the same disk
[19:35] <yeats> alexas: I would recommend backing all your files up to external media before continuing - the disk could need a fsck or there may be some problems with the physical disk
[19:35] <alexas> I am backing it up now as an whole image
[19:35] <yeats> (of course, you should be backing up to external media regularly and especially before upgrades/changes)
[19:36] <alexas> I didn't have any upgrades done just default additional partitioning from default ubuntu installation medium
[19:36] <yeats> alexas: good - once that's done, boot the computer with a live USB/CD and run fsck on all the partitions
[19:36] <alexas> that of course doesn't mean that I will have safe files that I can't work now in the image file am now doing, dight?
[19:37] <alexas> yeats: they should be unmounted, right?
[19:37] <yeats> alexas: yes
[19:38] <alexas> yeats: thanks, so nothing I can do from the running system to solve that?
[19:38] <yeats> well, probably not from what I was just reading (see https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/error-splicing-file-input-output-error-cannot-copy-4175423816/page2.html for instance, found by googling the error you pasted here)
[19:39] <alexas> ok got it, thank you
[19:39] <yeats> alexas: I/O errors often mean failing hardware
[19:39] <yeats> but an fsck might just fix it
[19:39] <alexas> yeats: yes but there was operations on the disc so perhaps it's not failing
[19:40] <alexas> disk*
[19:43] <yeats> alexas: without seeing what's going on myself, I can only speak generally - could be a system under duress from whatever it's doing (e.g., full RAM and starting to swap), could be in need of fsck, could be failing hardware
[19:45] <alkisg> ssd or hdd disk?
[19:45] <alexas> ssd
[19:45] <alkisg> what file system, ext4?
[19:45] <alexas> yeats: it is possible if i create an image of the disk with problems and then run out diagnostic on the mounted image, or not?
[19:45] <alkisg> or e.g. ntfs?
[19:45] <alexas> alkisg: ext4
[19:45] <alkisg> ok, check smartmon result too
[19:45] <alkisg> after backup
[19:47] <alexas> alkisg: can I made all the operations on the data from the image I am doing of it later?
[19:47] <alexas> s/made/make
[19:47] <alexas> I mean I would like to format it because there is no critical data on it and I need it for other means
[19:48] <alexas> or I should first 'fix' it and then make an image of it?
[19:53] <apb1963> Has anyone setup wordpress on 16.04 ?
[19:53] <alkisg> alexas: backup first, see smartmon output after, fix image directly on ssd after
[19:53] <alkisg> Maybe the ssd is worn out
[19:54] <apb1963> has anyone setup apache on 16.04?
[19:55] <apb1963> wow
[19:55] <apb1963> not a soul
[19:56] <TaZeR> apache is some kind of indian tribe?
[19:57] <strive> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_AH-64_Apache
[19:57] <strive> ;p
[19:58] <strive> TaZeR: Yes, Apache is named after the tribe.
[19:58] <strive> "superior skills and warefare"
[19:58] <TaZeR> sweet!
[19:59] <strive> warfare, rather.
[19:59] <strive> Yea, pretty neat.
[20:00] <leftyfb> apb1963: nobody here is going to take your survey. Ask the question regarding your issue. Not who has done what.
[20:05] <strive> apb1963: Digital Ocean has some pretty good guides on those.
[20:08] <DisgruntledAnon> Anyone willing to help a noob who's trying to install ubuntu?
[20:09] <leftyfb> !ask | DisgruntledAnon
[20:09] <JoeRW> Good morning, everyone.
[20:09] <DisgruntledAnon> Alright, well, this issue is...pretty complicated.
[20:10] <DisgruntledAnon> Basically, I've gotten the ubuntu disk onto my USB drive, and reset, but upon choosing "install ubuntu" it puts me on a weird black/white screen
[20:10] <DisgruntledAnon> that was more than one line but yeah.
[20:10] <EgoAleSum> I have an issue with scripts in /etc/cron.(daily|hourly|weekly|monthly) are not executed automatically… a package i installed put something in there, but they’re not being executed? I’m on 17.10
[20:11] <leftyfb> DisgruntledAnon: I would suggest maybe trying the server installer. Then after it's installed, type: sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop
[20:11] <DisgruntledAnon> Alright, and what does the server installer do?
[20:12] <leftyfb> work :)
[20:13] <DisgruntledAnon> Alright...well, it's a pretty slow download, only at 2% now, so I'll get back to you on that.
[20:17] <DisgruntledAnon> holy mother of god how big is this ubuntu server file leftyfb???
[20:17] <brainwash> EgoAleSum: more details please
[20:17] <tomreyn> DisgruntledAnon: if you think it's the servers that's slow, you could cancel and re-download (possibly hitting a different mirror)
[20:17] <leftyfb> DisgruntledAnon: smaller than the desktop installer
[20:17] <brainwash> EgoAleSum: "a package" "something" ...
[20:18] <EgoAleSum> brainwash: i just installed “zfs-auto-snapshot”. it created multiple cron scripts, into fodlers such as /etc/cron.d, /etc/cron.daily, etc
[20:18] <EgoAleSum> but only the scripts inside /etc/cron.d are executed
[20:18] <DisgruntledAnon> smaller than the desktop installer, huh? Well, the desktop installer was about 1% every second or two and this is only at 17% after taking the trash out.
[20:19] <tomreyn> DisgruntledAnon: so you hit a slow mirror, this can happen.
[20:19] <DisgruntledAnon> It's literally the only download I could find on Ask Ubuntu or the main site, my dude.
[20:19] <leftyfb> DisgruntledAnon: http://mirrors.mit.edu/ubuntu-releases/17.10/ubuntu-17.10-desktop-amd64.iso
[20:19] <leftyfb> actually, no
[20:19] <leftyfb> sorry
[20:19] <leftyfb> http://mirrors.mit.edu/ubuntu-releases/17.10/ubuntu-17.10-server-amd64.iso
[20:19] <leftyfb> that one
[20:20] <DisgruntledAnon> I should have just stuck to the original at the rate this is going. Too late now, so, time to clean my bathroom out. >.>
[20:21] <EgoAleSum> oki think i’ve figured it out. the zfs-auto-snapshot should depend on anacron, which was not installed. filing a bug now
[20:22] <grid-> hey
[20:22] <brainwash> EgoAleSum: so, it's a matter of running the cron job while the system is not up?
[20:22] <brainwash> once it boots
[20:22] <EgoAleSum> brainwash: no the system was up
[20:22] <EgoAleSum> it’s up 24/7
[20:23] <brainwash> what is installed?
[20:23] <brainwash> systemd-cron?
[20:24] <skinux> Which is the best matrix screensaver I could have, with Xenial 16.04 and AMD Radeon R5 Graphics?
[20:25] <brainwash> EgoAleSum: maybe bug 1719724
[20:25] <EgoAleSum> brainwash: actually, installing anacron isn’t the right solution… the scripts simply are not executed
[20:26] <EgoAleSum> brainwash: sounds like thats my bug
[20:26] <EgoAleSum> brainwash: and for “which cron”… whatever came with the minimal install of ubuntu
[20:26] <adam82> Good Afternoon ubuntu :)
[20:26] <adam82> (at least it is afternoon here)
[20:27] <EgoAleSum> yes it’s definitely my bug, brainwash
[20:27] <brainwash> maybe you can install the newer package version
[20:28] <brainwash> or adapt the change(s)
[20:28] <brainwash> skinux: xscreensaver has GLMatrix
[20:28] <EgoAleSum> brainwash: yeah i’m just gonna modify my scripts with the changes from GitHub
[20:28] <Ispira> Weee! I'm having the dreaded IPv6 issues on my server installation! So let me give a little background here, I recently spun up a new VPS with Ubuntu Server 16.04.3, everything was working fine (IPv6 included) for the past few days, today I just logged in to do some work on the server and nothing connects to IPv6. Found this out after apt update go
[20:28] <Ispira> t stuck resolving an ipv6 addr, then confirmed it with ping6. I've tried rebooting the server with no joy. This is the result of ifconfig and ping6 running for a couple of minutes with no response http://upaste.me/r/543f492624507fe39
[20:29] <Ispira> And the server _does_ in fact have IPv6 networking enabled. https://i.imgur.com/16mDAw8.png
[20:29] <brainwash> skinux: package is xscreensaver-gl
[20:29] <Ispira> I tried googling for the solution but all the results I can find are pretty old and suggest disabling IPv6 is a "solution"
[20:32] <tomreyn> Ispira: first of all, run the server from the recovery system the host probably provides and check whether ipv6 works there. ipv6 is often treated 2nd class and 'best effort' connectivity, especially by VPS hosts. so it's not uncommon to fail completely, be slow, have broken resolvers etc.
[20:33] <tomreyn> Ispira: if it works there but not on your system then ask yourself what you have changed between when it worked and now.
[20:42] <DisgruntledAnon> Alright leftyfb, get ready to explain the obvious to me in another minute -- the server's almost done downloading at 95%
[20:45] <DisgruntledAnon> Alright, finished with the download. Now, first things first, where should I put it? Should I have it burned to my USB? Will it even work that way, or will that be a problem for Ubuntu itself?
[20:45] <jyka> I'm building a local repository. I have a xenial 64 bit client, and I have nothing i386 related in sources.list. Why is apt-update trying to fetch something i386 related? Does it use some i386 packages and do I need to sync them too?
[20:48] <DisgruntledAnon> oi, leftyfb, you still there?
[20:48] <DisgruntledAnon> or should I just go back to cleaning my bathroom while I wait for a reply?
[20:49] <Bloxx> Hi... Can someone pls help me... I am trying to do Automatic Reset with Resetter and I get an error in the first step (loading packages: Problems trying to remove: gcc-7-base:amd64 E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
[20:50] <Bloxx> I am using 16.04
[20:50] <DisgruntledAnon> ...guess it's back to the bathroom for me then. Just, say something whenever, leftyfb, because I am really confused as to where I should be keeping that server
[20:51] <jyka> hmm when add deb [arch=amd64]   to all lines in sources.list, it doesn't whine. Weird why is it searching for i386 packages by default
[20:52] <brainwash> jyka: what is "it"?
[20:52] <brainwash> what are building?
[20:54] <Bloxx> Hi... Can someone pls help me... I am trying to do Automatic Reset with Resetter and I get an error in the first step (loading packages: Problems trying to remove: gcc-7-base:amd64 E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
[20:54] <jyka> I found the answer but I'm still wondering why is 64-bit ubuntu searching for i386 packages :) "On Ubuntu amd64 installations, i386 is enabled as an additional architecture by default. apt & co. expect repositories to provide all configured architectures, which causes the error "
[20:55] <brainwash> is it enabled by default? I don't think so
[20:56] <leftyfb> DisgruntledAnon: https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/
[20:56] <leftyfb> Bloxx: please don't repeat
[20:56] <leftyfb> Bloxx: what is "Resetter"?
[20:57] <leftyfb> jyka: probably for compatibility with 32bit applications
[20:57] <Bloxx> app for reseting  Debian-based Linux system to default
[20:57] <leftyfb> Bloxx: I don't see it in the official Ubuntu repositories
[20:58] <Bloxx> ok. do you know anything I can use to restore my ubuntu 16.04 to default
[20:58] <leftyfb> Bloxx: fresh install>
[20:58] <leftyfb> ?
[20:58] <Bloxx> yes
[20:59] <leftyfb> Bloxx: a fresh install will be the easiest, cleanest and quickest way
[20:59] <Bloxx> I have dual boot, but on the windows side I have disk locked by admin, so I cannot just do a fresh install
[21:00] <leftyfb> Bloxx: are you not the admin of your own pc?
[21:00] <Bloxx> yes, but superadmin is university
[21:00] <Bloxx> they unlocked disk so I made a partition and installed ubuntu and then locked it back...
[21:01] <leftyfb> Bloxx: contact your University's IT department for support with their equipment
[21:02] <akik> Bloxx: is it a configuration problem you want to resolve?
[21:02] <leftyfb> akik: he wants to reinstall ubuntu on a school-loaned computer but doesn't have access to do so
[21:03] <Bloxx> I am using anaconda for R and Python and at some point I cannot install any packages anymore...
[21:03] <Bloxx> so, I wanted to just clear everything to default and do it again... I am highly aware that the problem is somewhere between the chair and the keyboard...
[21:04] <akik> Bloxx: it would help if you would paste the error messages somewhere like pastebin.com
[21:04] <akik> or paste.ubuntu.com
[21:05] <akik> Bloxx: then somebody could help you resolve the problem with no need for reinstall
[21:06] <Bloxx> ok... I will redo the actions to get an errors and upload it... thank you guys for help...
[21:07] <disgruntledanon> argh. Alright, sorry leftyfb.
[21:07] <disgruntledanon> My thing wouldn't let me post, had to refresh.
[21:08] <disgruntledanon> so needless to say, I missed a few messages because of that, sorry but you'll have to repeat yourself
[21:25] <alexas> alkisg: can you please look at smart report and tell me if you see anything wrong there? http://termbin.com/augi
[21:28] <EriC^^> alexas: you let your laptop battery run out a lot and turns off by itself
[21:29] <EriC^^> *magic*
[21:30] <alexas> Ericsorry can you elaborate on that please?
[21:30] <alexas> EriC^^:
[21:30] <alexas> it's a used laptop
[21:30] <EriC^^> alexas: i'm j/k, the power cycle sasys 4000 or so, the power off retract (when the hdd suddenly shuts off) is around half of that
[21:31] <EriC^^> i dont see anything about reallocation or bad sectors in the smart report, it usually mentions those *shurg*
[21:31] <EriC^^> *shrug*
[21:31] <alexas> EriC^^: thanks for letting me know
[21:31] <EriC^^> sure
[21:32] <jhutchins> alexas: what was the original problem?
[21:32] <alexas> jhutchins: I was unable to copy data after parting drive with second installation of Ubuntu
[21:33] <jhutchins> alexas: Did you resolve it?
[21:33] <alexas> jhutchins: yes, apparently after fsck check with live usb
[21:34] <jhutchins> alexas: Good.  Smart test looks good, you shoudl be fine.
[21:34] <jhutchins> alexas: You might occasionally check dmesg and the syslog for error messages.
[21:34] <alexas> great
[21:35] <alexas> will do
[21:37] <pennTeller> Hi guys, how can I run a command everytime my server boots? I am specifcially trying to make odoo start on boot
[21:40] <EriC^^> pennTeller: systemwide? or just as your user when you login?
[21:40] <pennTeller> EriC^^, systemdiw, regardless of someone loging in or not
[21:40] <pennTeller> EriC^^, on boot
[21:41] <EriC^^> pennTeller: add a crontab "@reboot command" to sudo crontab -e so its runs as root
[21:41] <pennTeller> EriC^^, thank you very much man
[21:42] <EriC^^> pennTeller: no problem
[22:02] <th3_g3ntl3m3n> Hello.
[22:04] <th3_g3ntl3m3n> country /help
[22:05] <auronandace> th3_g3ntl3m3n: what do you need help with?
[22:08] <th3_g3ntl3m3n> Nothing at the moment, i was just having problems to connect to this channel...
[22:11] <TheNH813> I have a problem with both the shuf command and the $RANDOM feature in bash. It only sometimes returns a number, which causes my script that randomly selects lines out of a file to fail. Is this the right place to ask or should I go elsewhere?
[22:12] <TheNH813> IS there a better way to get a random number between 1 and 1000?
[22:18] <alkisg> TheNH813: there is a #bash channel. I don't think it can only somtimes return a number though, unless you unset it so it loses its properties
[22:18] <TheNH813> Allright I'l check that channel out. And maybe my code is just wrong. Because I thought the same thing.
[22:21] <alkisg> TheNH813: so, $RANDOM would be the best way, but if you really need it, there's also /dev/urandom, but it's harder to handle it
[22:21] <alkisg> And of course it's always possible to implement your own random even in bash
[22:23] <TheNH813> Yeah I could do that. Like, grab data from /dev/urandom with od and then map it to 1-1000.
[22:23] <leftyfb> I don't see what the problem with $RANDOM is. It will always generate a number
[22:24] <TheNH813> Well, I need a number between 1 and 1000.
[22:24] <TheNH813> Basically, it pulls random lines from a text file. It generates random names for testing purposes. There's a file for the most common 1000 last and first names.
[22:25] <alkisg> TheNH813: echo $((1+$RANDOM%1000))
[22:25] <th3_g3ntl3m3n> NANI?!
[22:26] <TheNH813> Hmmm....
[22:26] <TheNH813> I'l give that a try and see if it works better.
[22:26] <leftyfb> TheNH813: http://paste.ubuntu.com/26197285/
[22:27] <alkisg> leftyfb: no need for a loop, see above ^
[22:28] <TheNH813> I really need to improve my bash skills. I can do a lot of things, but I never even knew $((1+$RANDOM%1000)) existed.
[22:28] <leftyfb> me either :)
[22:28] <TheNH813> And AWK/GAWK are a complete mystery to me.
[22:28]  * alkisg has spent the last 8 years doing shell programming :D
[22:29] <TheNH813> Nice. :D
[22:29] <TheNH813> With the existence of Zenity/GTKDialog, you can do pretty much anything.
[22:29] <TheNH813> Even simple GUIs. It's actually impressive.
[22:30] <alkisg> Eh, at that point, it's better to use python
[22:30] <th3_g3ntl3m3n> I have a querstion: Is blackubuntu (a pen-testing distro) an OS created by Canonical Group? Or it just another derived from ubuntu that has nothing to do with it an its developers?
[22:31] <alkisg> The second
[22:31] <oerheks> see their wiki ?
[22:32] <leftyfb> it also hasn't ben updated in 6 years
[22:32] <leftyfb> I would stay far away from it
[22:33] <th3_g3ntl3m3n> Lol
[22:35] <pennTeller> Guys is there a way to git clone into a folder and remove duplciates on the fly?
[22:38] <TheNH813> I know why my script wasn't working.
[22:38] <TheNH813> I had the number generation in each section for one part of a if then else loop in such a way as that it would reach the end of the loop without doing anything 50% of the time.
[22:39] <TheNH813> Well, now I feel dumb.
[22:42] <TheNH813> @pennTeller I don't know, but wouldn't a duplicate get overwritten if it's the same file? Or do you mean in different directories?
[22:43] <pennTeller> TheNH813, I have a directoy full of files from a repo
[22:43] <TheNH813> Do they have different names?
[22:43] <pennTeller> TheNH813, they have the same names at the ones in the repo

[22:46] <th3_g3ntl3m3n> is there an equivalent command that can kill the system in ubuntu just like del system 32/*.* on Windows?
[22:47] <pennTeller> I get fatal: destination path '.' already exists and is not an empty directory.
[22:48] <oerheks> th3_g3ntl3m3n, sure, sudo
[22:50] <TheNH813> th3_g3ntl3m3n: If you must know, yes. It's "rm -Rf /". And don't every try that command unless it's in a virtual machine, as it also erases ALL attached drives in addition to the system drive.
[22:50] <TheNH813> Well, all attached and mounted drives.
[22:51] <TheNH813> I was erasing a computer once and did that for fun and forgot to unmount a drive full of .deb packages. Was no big loss but something I didn't think of nonetheless.
[22:52] <th3_g3ntl3m3n> Wish i was there to see you face when you did that. LOl
[22:53] <TheNH813> LOL
[23:06] <th3_g3ntl3m3n> That moment when there is a total of 1056 people connected to this chat but this seems dead.
[23:06] <TheNH813> True. Most are probably AFK.
[23:07] <th3_g3ntl3m3n> :/
[23:07] <akik> that rm "remove all files" has been fixed already
[23:09] <TheNH813> --no-preserve-root disables that, but yeah don't delete / is the default on most distros.
[23:13] <akik> some people write /* not sure if that still gets rid of your files
[23:26] <th3_g3ntl3m3n> help
[23:26] <TheNH813> What do you need help with?
[23:27] <th3_g3ntl3m3n> Sorry, i tried to type the ¨help¨ command. xd
[23:27] <TheNH813> XD been there done that.
[23:33] <m3_m3n3> help
[23:34] <kurtis12345> Hey
[23:34] <m3_m3n3> das
[23:35] <kurtis12345> I'm trying to install linux on a dell inspiron laptop, but it freezes on the splash screen, i've tried ubuntu, lubuntu and xubuntu all freeze on the splash screen
[23:35] <TheNH813> What's the screen resolution?
[23:35] <TheNH813> 1600x900?
[23:35] <kurtis12345> 1920x1080
[23:36] <TheNH813> Okay. Give me a second to calculate something.
[23:37] <th3_g3ntl3m3n\> dude this sh*t sucks
[23:39] <TheNH813> Try booting with the "VGA=799" option.
[23:40] <TheNH813> Also remove quiet and splash and instead put nosplash debug.
[23:41] <TheNH813> Then it will at least indicate where it failed.
[23:41] <kurtis12345> sorry to sound ignorant but how do i add flags?
[23:41] <TheNH813> Okay, so at the boot menu, press "E" on your keyboard to edit the parameters for that entry.
[23:43] <kurtis12345> i'll give it a shot
[23:44] <TheNH813> Okay.
[23:44] <TheNH813> If that dosen't work put VGA=792 and see if it boots at 1024x768. Won't look good but it will at least see if it's a graphics problem or not.
[23:48] <th3_g3ntl3m3n\> asd
[23:48] <kurtis12345> seems to be stuck on acpi region does not cover the entire command/response buffer
[23:48] <kurtis12345> oh wait its doing something
[23:49] <NegativeFlare> There we go, I'm back
[23:49] <kurtis12345> says "a start job is running for detect the available gpus and deal with any system changes
[23:50] <kurtis12345> 3min 49s / no limit
[23:51] <TheNH813> Well, that's definitely the problem. It's waiting indefinitely to change gpu settings.
[23:51] <kurtis12345> interesting
[23:51] <kurtis12345> my gpu is a 1050m
[23:52] <TheNH813> Try adding nomodeset vesa to the parameters mentioned before and try again.
[23:52] <kurtis12345> ok
[23:52] <TheNH813> That will disable GPU acceleration. It's going to need the NVidia drivers installed most likely to work with acceleration.
[23:54] <kurtis12345> lovely that's booted in, now to install it to the hdd and go from there
[23:55] <TheNH813> And make sure to change the options before booting the new install or it will do the same thing every time until the right drivers are installed.
[23:55] <TheNH813> Afterwards it should work well.
[23:56] <TheNH813> You'l find this of use after you install and reboot into the new installation.

[23:56] <kurtis12345> awesome thanks

[23:56] <TheNH813> Their GPUs work good, the only issue is they can be temperamental with generic drivers.
[23:57] <TheNH813> So we fix it, and move on. Good luck!
[23:57] <TheNH813> You're welcome.
[23:58] <TheNH813> Hello the_g3ntl3m3n.
