[00:02] I have 16.10. Can I install gcc 7? [00:04] johnflux_: you can always compile gcc7 yourself [00:04] ohnx: that sounds scary :) [00:04] johnflux_: why? how about creating an LXD container with 17.10 which has it? [00:08] I'm going to just upgrade :-) not sure if I should go for 17.04 or 17.10 [00:09] johnflux_: well 17.04 goes out of support quite soon, 16.10 already out of course [00:11] sudo do-release-upgrade -d says "No new release found" [00:13] hey all - i [00:16] ca_cabotage: -i option not recognised. [00:16] johnflux_, which version are you on now [00:17] hey all, i've got a lubuntu 16.04 install in esxi. All was well until the other day I had a power outage, now when i try to login I get the login loop (enter password, screen flashes black, then back to login screen) I've tried logging into shell and "chown user:user ~/.Xauthority", I've tried mv .Xauthority .Xauthority.bak & sudo service lightdm restart. So far nothing is helping - how can I further [00:17] troubleshoot and fix this? [00:29] ca_cabotage: Power outage can leave the file system in an incomsistent state, might run a file system check/repair from the liveUSB; see here what results . [00:31] johnflux_, did you share with us yet what version you are currently on === erryChristmas is now known as erry [00:48] Bashin-om I check the disk for defects and it found none [00:52] ca_cabotage: "check disk for defects" verifies the .iso copy . What I suggest is to run a fsck on the root partition from that liveUSB . [01:02] Bashing-om it says 1.4% non-contiguous [01:05] ca_cabotage: That is OK . No need for an indepth fix indicated ? [01:06] it just has pass 1-5, then lists the files and blocks, the 1.4% non-contig. and thats it - doesn't say anything about fixing anything, or anything else at all [01:10] hi [01:12] ca_cabotage: Reboot into the install and see what the condition is now . [01:13] into the install? [01:14] like the live CD or back into my regular installation [01:14] ca_cabotage: You ran the test from the liveUSB ? . then reboot into your normal system . [01:15] yeah, alright - i rebooted insto my system and it is still in a login loop [01:16] ca_cabotage: Pastbin the output of ' sudo lshw -C display ' - let's see if this is a graphic's driver issue . [01:17] ca_cabotage: That from the install in the ctl+alt+F1 console . [01:17] ok, i can't copy paste out of the VM but I'll type up the basics: [01:18] descript.: vga compt. controller [01:18] product SVGA II adapter [01:18] vendor: vmware [01:18] phys. id: f [01:18] bus info: pci@... [01:18] version 00 [01:18] width 32 bits [01:18] clock 33MHz [01:18] capabilities: vga_controller bus_master cap_list rom [01:19] config.: driver=vmwgfx latency=64 [01:19] resources: irq:16 ioport:1070(size=16) memory.... memory:.... [01:19] that's it [01:21] ca_cabotage: Well, driver is loaded . I do not have VM experoence, can not advise further . [01:21] alright, thanks man - i appreciate it! [01:23] ca_cabotage: :) .. good luck . [01:34] hi [01:41] I've added Match user !root \n PasswordAuthentication no to the end of my sshd_config file, but it's still letting that account login with a password [01:41] and when I do ps -C sshd I see 3 processes running. How do I make sure it's working how I want it to? I want to make it so only a single user can login with a password [01:43] restart sshd? [01:43] i think you can send a signal for it to reload it's config but restarting is simple enough, just make sure your lines are properly formed and you aren't doing remotely since you might get locked out. [01:43] tried sudo restart sshd, and ssh, neither one gives a confirmation and I still see multiple processes [01:44] if ubuntu is running systemd then iirc it's gonna be sudo systemctl restart sshd [01:44] there is also a man page for that i think [01:45] no response as well, and I still see 3 sshd processes :\ [01:45] The available cri‐ [01:45] oops [01:45] even tried restarting and it keeps booting up with multiple SSHD processes [01:45] caps the User [01:45] I tried that first :\ [01:46] man sshd_config [01:46] Doc-Saintly: actually just tell what you actually want to do, no reason to chase cars on this lol [01:47] I want to make it so only a single uesr can login with a password. all others need to have a keyfile (which I'm not going to generate for them except for a few) [01:47] so disable password and then override with match for the one user. [01:48] Well, based on how the config is not cooperating I'm worried that will lock me out :\ [01:48] Doc-Saintly: https://serverfault.com/questions/307407/ssh-allow-password-for-one-user-rest-only-allow-public-keys [01:49] Anyone fixed how Pixel Saver (GNOME extension) has inconsistent button icons on 17.10? [01:49] the locking out part is definitely a worry though, so be careful... [01:49] They look like the Ubuntu theme icons in vanilla GNOME, until you hover, then they go back to normal [01:49] maybe even set it to revert after a few mintues with sleep && bash tricks [01:49] export: there sohuld only ever by one sshd process, right? [01:50] Doc-Saintly: i think that's normal [01:51] just depends on your use-case: http://forums.devshed.com/linux-help-33/multiple-sshd-processes-idea-550245.html [01:54] export: but if the restart is working, sohuldn't all the processes get new PIDs? [01:55] Thanks export , I'll poke around a bit more before doing the config file again [01:55] Doc-Saintly: maybe not, i think there is an option where you can keep running ssh connections after a restart but idk. [01:56] Doc-Saintly: good luck! [02:28] so, I just setup a USB HP printer via hplip on command line. It printed the test page okay, so looks like it is working. How do I find the printers IP address so I can access it's web interface? [02:36] export: I got it. I followed the advice to turn password off for everyone else and then on for one user [02:36] export: I realized that since I already havd the key auth working I wasn't likely to get locked out as I was playing around with password auth [02:38] extor: Doc-Saintly yeah, i was mostly just worried about a typo in the config and the server quits loading lol (that has happened to me before) [02:52] yea, I wasn't to keen on it either :\ [03:18] I have some troubles with initiating a backup repository, need further understanding on mounting. If I mounted /lvbackup on /media/backup then create a folder /media/backup/MBP, does /lvbackup have a dir MBP? and who has permissions over MBP? lvbackup or /media/backup [03:27] EraserPencil: What is /lvbackup? type this for us: file /lvbackup [03:27] I'm guessing a LVM logical volume? [03:27] Best not to guess. [03:27] i'm running artful, but i need the 4.15 kernel for hardware reasons. so i installed the kernel ppa, but now i can't find where toget the linux-tools/linux-cloud-tools packages [03:28] ohyea, it's an lvm logical volume [03:29] EraserPencil: Then MBP will be located on the file system on the lvbackup logical volume. === LocaMocha is now known as Sauvin [03:30] rypervenche: but if unmounted, MBP still lists under /media/backup [03:32] EraserPencil: Then that means you created it before you mounted the drive. [03:45] EraserPencil: But normally, if you mount a drive and then create a directory inside the mount point, then unmount the drive, that directory will not be there any longer. [03:46] rypervenche: but if i mounted a drive at a parent directory, does the drive inherit the subdirectories? [03:46] EraserPencil: No, it will temporarily cover up or hide the directories that were already there. [03:47] mine wasnt covered up or hidden [03:48] EraserPencil: Can you explain exactly what you did and what you were expecting to happen? And what actually happened. === r0Oter is now known as r00ter [03:59] rypervenche: I've deleted the folders to restart. Just needed to clarify what should happen [04:16] Hallo [04:17] Merry X-mas! Anyone alive? [04:19] So I am trying to install grub (legacy) on my ubuntu 17.04 (Zesty) machine but it's unable to find the package. I am doing sudo apt-get install grub. I am guessing I need to update my repo URLS but no idea to which site. Any suggestions? [04:29] looks like xenial 16.04 LTS is the last to carry the grub legacy package: https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=grub [04:32] I've got this weird "Unknown" window in my alt-tab list, but nothing shows when I switch to it. Anyone seen this? [04:32] The icon is a white sheet of paper with a grey warning sign [04:33] 17.10 vanilla GNOME [04:35] Right. Could I use (maybe append) xenial urls to get grub? or will i have to manually download and install the package myself in this case? [04:35] somenewb, why do you need grub legacy rather than grub 2? [04:38] lordcirth: So I am following a tutorial that uses grub legacy to load a kernel image [04:38] somenewb, so look at grub2 docs and substitute [04:43] lordcirth: thanks, that's probably the best way to go since I'll have to learn how grub2 works eventually. Just thought it be nice to get some experience with legacy grub then move on to the newer stuff. [05:41] Hey, my computer is stuck at GRUB menu. From the entries shown in ls, I know that my ubuntu partition is (hd0,msdos1). I tried running `configfile (hd0,msdos1)/boot/grub/grub.cfg` but it returns back to black screen with "grub> " [05:41] Back to the grub prompt that is [05:42] (i have ubuntu 16.04 running on the computer) [05:56] I followed the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Troubleshooting#grub.3E-1 and it's fixed now, yay! [06:29] can the amd proprietary drivers be made to work with the latest ubuntu? [06:44] it seems not.. at least that simplifies the situation :p [07:12] what backup solutions do you guys use? [07:13] hi i just ran this command: sudo alien -ci android-x86-7.1-rc2.x86_64.rpm in order to install android x86. but when i rebooted i got no options to boot into android x86 only options for ubuntu [07:26] EraserPencil: rsync [07:33] ghostnik11: rpm packages are not supported by ubuntu [07:37] alkisg, yeah but alien is built to convert whatever package to deb [07:37] ghostnik11: right, and alien is supported here, but not the packages that it converts :) [07:38] E.g. if that rpm puts entries into the boot manager, alien can't handle it... btw, why aren't you installing android normally in a partition? [07:39] alkisg, b/c the android x86 page told me it can be done this way and i thought that was just simply brilliant. don't have to download and then transfer iso to flash then reboot and install using flash [07:39] The best way to solve that "alien rpm" problem, would be to report it to the android-x86 project (file a bug report) [07:41] Well, if you want to use android seriously, you'd want a real installation, if not, a VM would be enough; loop-based installations like that rpm or like wubi in general have a few issues... [07:42] But sure, it's worth it to file a bug report in their bug tracker [07:43] It's not an Ubuntu issue though, it's not in the Ubuntu code base and Ubuntu doesn't know what they're doing with their installer [07:47] hey guys === Jochen_wvdT is now known as Schlawiner [07:47] I wonder if theres a way to block xscreensaver from blocking ctrl-alt-f* [07:59] XXCoder: if it didn't block it then anyone could walk up to the keyboard and press that combo [08:00] I know its bit less secure [08:00] but I rarely use tty and I log off once done. [08:14] Most screensavers don't block alt+ctrl+fx [08:14] E.g. mate-screensaver doesn't block it [08:14] Since there the user needs to login anyway again [08:15] yeah im using stock xscreensaver though [08:15] and it does [08:17] XXCoder: you could always enable sysrq then alt+sysrq+R to have the kernel take keyboard input back from X, after which ctrl+alt+fn should work fine regardless of what xlock or similar has done [08:18] ok looking into that [08:18] XXCoder: according to http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/zesty/en/man1/xscreensaver.1.html, it doesn't [08:18] "Unfortunately, there is no way for xscreensaver itself to override the interpretation of these keys." [08:18] while talking about switching vts [08:18] So what you're talking about doesn't sound like xscreensaver issue [08:19] strange. source certainly was xscreensaver, I had to kill xscreensaver and 2 hacks running [08:20] XXCoder: is that xubuntu? [08:21] so when it closed I could type stuff and use mouse [08:21] which version? [08:21] a second [08:21] xscreensaver 5.37 [08:21] That isn't the issue, so the DE matters [08:21] E.g. xubuntu may invoke some other lock along with xscreensaver [08:21] ahh ok [08:21] xfce mint [08:21] So the problem version doesn't matter, the distro/version does [08:22] OK, mint isn't supported here :) [08:22] not too sure on version [08:22] yeah was talking about xscreensaver orginially [08:22] thanks though [08:22] mint may have its own configuration for programs [08:22] Even for xscreensaver [08:22] That's why you need to ask on your distro channel [08:22] its largely similiar, ubuntu instructions almost always work [08:22] So that they know about the default confifuration of the programs [08:23] Yes I know, the basic problem is that it doesn't respect debian policy and writes to /etc whatever it likes [08:23] oh xscreensaver was upgraded by myself, since included version is ancient [08:23] So it breaks everything without notifying [08:23] xfce mint do have issue with programs being old lol [08:23] That's why ubuntu supports ubuntu-mate, which is similar, but not mint, which doesn't respect debian policy [08:24] like freecad default was 0.13 which was super crashy for while [08:24] It's using the same repositories as ubuntu [08:24] It's not a real distro. So the same version for freecad in both cases. [08:25] odd. well adding repo fixed that good :) anyway akways been there (mint chat) but not much help so far [08:25] honestly kinda sick of mint odd stuff [08:25] lubuntu looked decent on my aspire one [08:25] Not many developers support mint, so you can expect a few of them in mint channels :) [08:26] dunno on pc. maybe just xubuntu [08:26] I love xfce [08:26] oh yeah whats story on unity [08:26] heard ubuntu killed it [08:27] OK I tested xubuntu screensaver, it doesn't lock vt switching [08:27] So no issue there [08:27] xscreensaver or ubuntu's own rollout? [08:27] The default screensaver of xubuntu [08:28] which is? [08:29] xubuntu 14.04 have none heh apparently [08:30] Press alt+ctrl+l to lock the screen [08:30] 2 days ago other post, xubuntu dont come with default screensaver apparently [08:30] After unlocking, the dislpay manager login page shows, to allow you to unlock it [08:31] Hi, anyone using CopyQ ? [08:32] XXCoder: 'light-locker' is running [08:32] interesting [08:32] It's forked from gnome-screesaver, the man page says [08:33] XXCoder: available since 14.04, so you probably misread something. https://xubuntu.org/news/screen-locking-in-xubuntu-14-04/ [08:34] guess that guy didnt know it or something, just flat out said "dont have any, install xscreensaver" [08:34] weirdf [08:35] I need a shell script, my end goal for script is to filter all the API’s responding above 3 seconds [08:35] I had to set my power button to lock the screen instead of poweroff, it's in a weird spot on my case that's easy to press by accident [08:35] its okay bare bones locker apparently, can be removed to iunstall xscreensaver. nice [08:36] akkilinux: sounds like a job for strace if you mean libc/system API calls [08:45] Hey ............ I need a shell script, my end goal for script is to filter all the API’s responding above 3 seconds [08:45] can anyone help mr into it [09:03] akkilinux: we tried but you don't answer [09:03] Explain in more details what you want. Are you looking to use strace? [09:03] Which API is that? There are thousands of APIs [09:04] Actually In my system API log generated [09:04] in it I want APIs detailswho responding above 3 seconds [09:05] akkilinux: yeah that sentence explains nothing [09:05] Try with more words [09:05] akkilinux: maybe paste a log of your api? [09:05] also #bash might be able to help too fwiw [09:07] I am currently used [09:07] cat /data/httpd/apiv.vt.com-access_log | awk '{ print $15 }' | cut -d \? -f1 | sort | uniq -c | sort -n | tr -d '**' | tr -d '/' > /tmp/apiv.vt.com-access_log-dec.txt cat /tmp/apiv.vt.com-access_log-dec.txt | awk '$2 >= "3000000" { print $2}' > /tmp/apiv.vt.com-access_log-dec2.txt for i in `cat /tmp/apiv.vt.com-access_log-dec2.txt `;do grep "$i" /data/httpd/apiv.vt.com-access_log >> /tmp/apiv.vt.com-access_log-dec3.txt don [09:07] script [09:07] but it generate 3 files [09:08] but i need 1 backup file [09:08] and one output file === Neo2 is now known as Neo1 [09:52] quick question , for totem video , how do i make a playlist for videos ? [09:52] your code is hard to follow, and even harder when we don't know what the input is [09:57] Hello, I'm trying to check the image I got from http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-gnome/releases/17.04/release/ but gpg check fails [09:57] gpg: BAD signature from "Ubuntu CD Image Automatic Signing Key (2012) " [unknown] [09:57] sha256sum is correct, although downloaded over http [09:57] I don't know if there's a problem on my side or if the keys are indeed invalid [09:58] <_KaszpiR_> Perdu sha sould be enough [09:58] <_KaszpiR_> or update your pgp keys [09:59] I tried with md5, sha1 and sha256 [09:59] all checksums are correct but gpg verification fails [10:05] Perdu: where did you see that iso images are gpg signed? [10:06] Ah, you mean the *sums* are gpg signed, not the images... [10:07] I've tried to uninstall collectd but get errors https://pastebin.com/LEj6Dp6m [10:07] Hi guys [10:09] <_KaszpiR_> fairuz already told you ;) [10:09] <_KaszpiR_> on different channel [10:10] _KaszpiR_ heh yeah, just pasting on different channel to increase the odds of people responding. :) [10:11] alkisg: oh you're right, that's the *SUM that is signed [10:11] not the .iso [10:11] So that was a problem on my side, the signature is valid [10:12] fairuz: that problem happens because you have packages that require collected and you removed it [10:13] fairuz: you would need to remove the other packages as well [10:13] alkisg thanks. _KaszpiR_ helped me to remove it on another channel. [10:13] Need to kill the process first [10:14] <_KaszpiR_> the issue was that uninstalling collectd stops the service, and service stop failed because it took too long tim eto stop sthe service, thus package uninstall failed - fix: kill collectd service first, this happens on micconfigured setups [10:32] Hi there [10:33] My current Desktop: KDE Plasma | I'm using Longman Dictionary within GoldenDict application, but examples are not shown! They were fine in Unity; Have anybody eexperinced same problem? https://u.teknik.io/1IqwV.png [10:35] frenda: welcome, perhaps the #kubuntu channel might know more of it? [10:39] thnks [11:04] hello everybody [11:06] howdy [11:13] firstly, new to ubuntu 16.04, and i'm chatting with xchat-gnome. Can someone tell me how to add the "view" with the list of users in this room? [11:15] also, unfortunately, i don't remember the name of the user that helped me tremendously yesterday with my upgrade from the 14.04. Just want to say that i've encountered some hiccups (even a phase where my pc did not booted anymore) but in the end, it all worked out fine [11:22] i really could use some help with my xchat-gnome [11:23] !xchat | Nooby_One_Nooby [11:23] Nooby_One_Nooby: xchat and xchat-gnome have not had stable releases in years. xchat was removed from Ubuntu for 16.04. Consider using hexchat instead, which is actively developed and available in 14.04 onwards. [11:24] !info hexchat | Nooby_One_Nooby install this one mate [11:24] Nooby_One_Nooby install this one mate: hexchat (source: hexchat): IRC client for X based on X-Chat 2.

[11:24] Nooby_One_Nooby: yes, but we only support english here [11:25] Nooby_One_Nooby: dutch support in #ubuntu-nl or #ubuntu-be [11:25] lotuspsychje your profile said you're in belgium .... i'm belgian, but residing in brazil at the moment [11:26] Nooby_One_Nooby: in hexchat/prefernces you can enable the userlist [11:34] lotuspsychje followed your advice, installed hexchat [11:35] Nooby_One_Nooby: you can change options now, like colored names in userlist etc tabs/tree [11:35] yes, i've noticed how much simpler it is === Nooby_One_Nooby is now known as Orvalvisje [11:36] Nooby_One_Nooby: what i always change, is colored nicks in userlist and change background to black [11:36] Orvalvisje: and change to a bigger font [11:41] I cannot install Ubuntu, I get error number 5 input output error. is this the best channel for ask for support ? [11:42] stilllife00: wich ubuntu version and at wich point are you stuck? [11:42] ubuntu 16.04.3 the installer loads fine, I can make partition, after asking me for the username, keyboard layout etc. the error appears and the installer crashes [11:43] stilllife00: are you installing ubuntu single? [11:45] stilllife00: as i singleboot, not dualboot [11:45] in [11:45] if by single you mean whitout dual boot, no. the configuration is as follows: widndows 10 already installed on a 500gb SSD with UEFI and GPT, ubuntu should go on a separate PCIe disk of 256 GB with GPT. I can format the PCIe disk as I which but I dont wanna touch the windows disk if possible [11:47] using ubuntu 16.04, dual boot, laptop, fresh install. Firstly, should i upgrade to the 17.04, is it worth it (not withstanding the 16 is lts) [11:47] !dualboot | stilllife00 [11:47] stilllife00: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Windows - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [11:48] Orvalvisje: depends on what you really want? LTS as stable long support, or non-lts shorter more experimental/newer ubuntu? [11:49] Orvalvisje: or help bug out and help the community? [11:49] hmmm .... i'm really a noob, i wouldn't be of much help, really [11:50] stilllife00: input/output errors usually means Hd broken, but in your case might be uefi setting? [11:50] Orvalvisje: ok, so we left with lts stable vs newer experimental? [11:51] i was also wondering, read some things about the 16 being slow as a result to a problem with amd drivers? [11:51] lotuspsychje i think you made your point ;) [11:51] In a live usb with ubuntu installed, I check disk for defects and it encounters errors, how to list them? [11:52] Orvalvisje: can you explain what goes 'slow' on your 16.04 exactly? [11:52] lotuspsychje: the hd was working fine and its quite new. is there a way to check if it has problems? and how can I check if its the UEFI setting? I don't want to go back to BIOS/MBR [11:52] lotuspsychje i'm already a great deal of time without visiting Belgium, and when i saw your name, first thing in my mind is the lotus speculoos ;) [11:53] stilllife00: read the dualboot ubuntu help mate, for the correct settings about it i usually do singleboots myself [11:53] !discuss | Orvalvisje for more offtopic :p [11:53] Orvalvisje for more offtopic :p: Want to talk about Ubuntu, but don't have a support question? /join #ubuntu-discuss for non-support Ubuntu discussion, or try #ubuntu-offtopic for general chat. Thanks! [11:54] !dmesg | jeremies [11:54] jeremies: dmesg is a console command which outputs the kernel ring buffer - an important log for diagnosing problems in Linux. Often when something errors with hardware it will result in additional lines reported which can be seen by running dmesg in a console. [11:54] jeremies: you can trace errors in dmesg or syslog logs of your system [11:55] lotuspsychje: thanks for the link, but I fail to see how it applies to my case. It just says to do what I am doing already. Install windows first and then prepare the partitions, then it talks about MBR (wich I dont want) and about live CD (which I dont use). can u be more precise on how that documentation can help me solving the IO error ? [11:56] stilllife00: if you run `sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/devsdb`, where sdb is your pci-e disk, you write all of it. On another tab, `dmesg -w` will be listening for errors. [11:56] stilllife00: well i presume if your hd is still new it wont be broken yet, so i presume it might be an uefi setting not correctly so the partition of ubuntu refuses to install? [11:56] stilllife00: (take care not to overwrite the wrong partition) [11:56] stilllife00: also, after that, better format it with gparted, just in case the ubuntu installer does math incorrectly [11:57] `sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=1M` will be faster [11:57] alkisg: am formatting with gparted since I was afraid of DD but I can give it a try with the dmesg thanks [11:58] lotuspsychje with slow i mean many gray screens in various programs [11:58] stilllife00: are you doing a full format, or a quick format? Gparted does quick format [11:58] Quick format won't show bad sectors outside of the file allocation area [11:58] Orvalvisje: you can check your graphics card chipset + active driver in: sudo lshw -C video [11:58] alkisg: I guess it was a quick format then. how do I do a full format ? with DD? [11:59] stilllife00: dd isn't a format, it blanks the disk, just testing for errors [11:59] You'll need a quick format _after_ dd has blanked the disk [11:59] alkisg: gotcha [11:59] lotuspsychje *-display [11:59] description: VGA compatible controller [11:59] product: 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller [11:59] vendor: Intel Corporation [11:59] physical id: 2 [11:59] bus info: pci@0000:00:02.0 [12:01] oops?

I used it for install one system. Should I reinstall this system? [12:02] lotuspsychje https://paste.ubuntu.com/26257065/ [12:02] Orvalvisje: seems your driver is active already [12:03] ok [12:03] stilllife00: normally; sudo dd... [12:03] Alt+ctrl+t to open a terminal [12:04] jeremies: not sure whats happening exactly, can you provide us more details of your story? ubuntu version? steps tryed? [12:04] alkisg: it shows me the man for sudo [12:06] alkisg: there is something interesting though in dmesg. SQUASHFS error: zlib decompression failed, data probably corrupt [12:06] lotuspsychje: I download the iso of ubuntu-mate and write it in a usb to make a live usb. In the grub menu of the live usb I check disk for defects and it encounters errors. This pendrive I use it to install an ubuntu system. Must I reinstall the system? [12:07] jeremies: ok, can you pastebin us the results of those errors? [12:08] the file /install/mt86plus in the iso doesn't match the md5sum [12:08] !md5 | jeremies [12:08] jeremies: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [12:09] alkisg: and then: squashfs_read data failed to read block 0x5aab1ac0 === adder_ is now known as adder [12:09] lotuspsychje: I know this [12:10] stilllife00: is it possible to disable your windows and test the ubuntu setup on your new hd single as a test, to see what the installer does lotuspsychje: I can do that but in that case will grub not detect the windows system and put the wrong entries in grub ? [12:10] stilllife00: for ubuntu single install, you need fastboot & secureboot disabled [12:11] stilllife00: well if you disable drive physically perhaps? [12:11] stilllife00: would be interesting to know if the hd is really faulty, or its uefi block [12:11] stilllife00: ive seen alot of weird errors in the past due to uefi settings in the ubuntu partitoning [12:11] lotuspsychje: disable physically aka remove right ? [12:12] yeah [12:12] lotuspsychje: ok will try that thanks, I just found another thing here that I will try first : https://askubuntu.com/questions/528036/ubuntu-installation-over-usb-and-dvd-fails [12:12] stilllife00: if setup bypasses the partitoning singleboot, we know its not your hd [12:14] stilllife00: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SquashfsErrors [12:15] lotuspsychje: thanks, the USB stick seems fine and the MD5 is checked, I will try all the rest (and also removing the Windows disk) [12:15] stilllife00: another thing you can try is testing a 16.04.2 iso and update [12:16] lotuspsychje: of will try as well, I am just on a very slow connection so it will take ages but I ll keep it as last resort [12:16] stilllife00: i had machines in the past that didnt like .3 kernel [12:17] stilllife00: your new hd is a pci ssd? [12:17] hey ericus [12:18] lotuspsychje: yep but is not new, i had ubuntu and arch linux before, now I am just cleaning up and going back to ubuntu only [12:18] lotuspsychje: it has 1 year [12:18] stilllife00: did you test other Os on that same hd before? [12:20] lotuspsychje? [12:20] ericus: sorry was for EriC^^ [12:20] hey lotuspsychje [12:20] hey ioria [12:21] lotuspsychje, hi, lotus :) [12:21] (02:04:09 μμ) stilllife00: alkisg: it shows me the man for sudo ==> the full command was in my previous message, (01:57:36 μμ) alkisg: `sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=1M` will be faster [12:22] stilllife00: the dmesg errors mean that it has data loss reading from the live cd/usb. It's not a very good sign :) [12:44] alkisg: does it mean that I can try a different USB stick ? [12:45] alkisg: yes the full command instead of running shows the sudo help message [12:55] I've installed debian on vm [12:56] guys it's true ubuntu repositories files cannot always normally work in debian? [12:56] then try #debian [12:56] stilllife00: that means you misstyped it [12:56] no, I have common questions that relate to both [12:57] ok, will speak better in debian or ubuntu server [12:58] just people in debian said that ubuntu repositories ppa wont work and should use their own [12:58] I though it's equal OS [12:59] Neo1 if they were the same, there would be no need for a different name [12:59] or different repos [13:07] I want to run a simple command to start a proxy server, when my ubuntu server instance starts up or reboots. How can I do this VERY EASILY? [13:08] lucas_ai try with @reboot inside a cronjob ... sudo crontab -e [13:08] lucas_ai: sudo crontab -e ---> @reboot /path/to/command [13:20] Hiyas all === Leoneof|2 is now known as Leoneof === lotuspsychje_ is now known as lotuspsychje [15:00] stupid question: can I install Ubuntu in a external drive? [15:01] Exterminador, yes [15:03] what about keep the bootloader inside the pc only? I mean, I want the laptop to handle everything, and just boot into the external drive if I have it plugged, if I make myself clear tho [15:09] Exterminador: depends if you have uefi or mbr [15:09] Exterminador: in either case put the bootloader on the disk itself, and let the bios have it first in the boot order, if it's there it'll boot it [15:09] I think it's uefi tho [15:10] Exterminador: ok, install it to the disk and manually make an efi partition and stuff [15:11] I'm partitioning the disk now. I need to do this as a "rescue" measure.. [15:12] erm.. what's the command to create a bootable USB stick? I don't want to get back to Windows to create it via Rufus [15:12] !usb | Exterminador [15:12] Exterminador: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [15:17] let's see if I can make it work tho [15:25] hi lotuspsychje [15:26] hey MonkeyDust [15:26] merry xmass MonkeyDust [15:27] and to you lotuspsychje [15:36] hello, I have a question with FF running on 17.04. I'm trying to get http://www.eternagame.org/ to work but something that I can't figure out is blocking between ublock origin, umatrix and noscript... even when I allow everything. the main page seems to be OK, but going to "play now" I only see a blue page. Any hints welcome... [15:39] CQ: tryed it in chromium and says plugin not supported [15:41] lotuspsychje, hm, any idea what the plugin is? [15:41] I see the same message on chromium [15:41] CQ: think its a shockwave flash [15:42] lotuspsychje, sigh, I was afraid of that... [15:42] CQ: lemme try with pepperflash holdon [15:43] CQ: yes, working [15:44] !info pepperflashplugin-nonfree | CQ [15:44] CQ: Package pepperflashplugin-nonfree does not exist in artful [15:44] merry christmas and happy new year 4all! (little bit late though..) [15:44] l0llip0p: same to you [15:51] lotuspsychje, works, thanks! [15:51] !yay | CQ [15:51] CQ: Glad you made it! :-) [16:01] anyone knows how can I resolve my bluetooth in ubuntu 16.04 lts currently not seeing any devices [16:01]
