| jvm | Hi. During runtime of the system -- half an hour after boot -- I see systemd-modules-load in my syslog, and a number of issues following, with eventual system crash. All I can find indicates that systemd-modules-load should only run on boot, not while the system is in use. Can anyone point me at possible causes? | 00:28 |

| BoneTone | so for some reason my fresh install of 16.04 is not recognizing my HDMI output device, it's not listed in pulse audio control as a possible choice, only my headphone jack | 00:59 |
| johnnyjames | hmmm | 01:00 |
| BoneTone | some things i've read online recommend installing the alsa daily builds, but that seems odd | 01:01 |

| dax | paxous: 1) please don't crosspost the same message to a bunch of different IRC channels. it's noisy and will tend to get you killed by antispam bots. 2) while I doubt anyone's gonna show you how to do NTP amplification, the channel you most recently asked (##security) is probably the least bad place to ask, so I'd recommend sticking with there. | 01:28 |

| blazeme8 | how do I install ubuntu desktop with an encrypted LVM, and leave space for snapshots? | 02:33 |
| blazeme8 | the installer insists I make the encrypted partition take up the entire pv.... | 02:33 |
| Random832 | payonel, i don't think it's possible | 02:33 |
| Random832 | like, you could run something like fbterm and get it without X, but it'd still be a terminal emulator and use a pty | 02:34 |
| === precise is now known as precise|tinfoil | ||
| payonel | Random832: hmm, okay thanks | 02:43 |
| tomreyn | blazeme8: you could use the server installer which provides an extended partitioning tool, then, after installation finished, install the ubuntu-desktop package | 02:47 |
| blazeme8 | hmm, interesting | 02:47 |
| blazeme8 | i ended up manually creating the LVM and skipping encryption | 02:47 |
| tomreyn | well if that's good enough for you ;) | 02:48 |
| blazeme8 | heh we'll see, the installer didnt give me the "install alongside windows bootloader" option anymore. though it's still clearly there... | 02:49 |

| lotuspsychje | jk^: could try a lubuntu live also | 10:05 |
| lapion | Whatever happened to the recovery login feature when loging into the desktop environment. | 10:05 |
| jk^ | lotuspsychje i think i haven' t any grub... Os starts without show me any grub | 10:05 |
| jk^ | I have not dual boot | 10:06 |
| alkisg | lapion: I haven't seen it in years, maybe it got removed a bit later from when KMS got widespread | 10:06 |
| lapion | When logging in on the xserver one could select to only get a shell so one could debug the login | 10:06 |
| alkisg | lapion: xorg issues? | 10:06 |
| alkisg | lapion: you can create an /usr/share/xsession/xterm.desktop entry if you like | 10:06 |
| jk^ | lotuspsychje yes i was trying lubuntu, but until yesterday xubuntu works great | 10:06 |
| lotuspsychje | jk^: if you installed xubuntu, you should have grub... | 10:07 |
| lapion | xorg is working fine but the gnome-panel will not autostart. most of the desktop environment loads only the panel does not start.. I have to manually start it form a terminal | 10:08 |
| alkisg | lapion: check .xsession-errors, also permissions and owner under ~ | 10:09 |
| aftrshock | Hi. I tried isntalling Kubuntu 17.10 by using Rufus to write the .iso to USB, I put my legacy USB as foot boot order, it booted into the Aardvark wallpaper and got stuck there. I read this is an issue with the app used to write the .iso to USB, is this correct? | 10:09 |
| Exterminador | guys, how do I change the locale of a specific user on my vps? on etc/default/locale I have all set to "en_US.UTF-8" but there's a user that has "en_US" only | 10:09 |
| aftrshock | *foot = first | 10:09 |
| lapion | alkisg, cannot connect to brltty at :0 | 10:09 |
| alkisg | Exterminador: normally, from gnome-language-selector, or from .dmrc, or from accountsettings | 10:10 |
| alkisg | lapion: that's not related | 10:10 |
| alkisg | ignore it | 10:10 |
| Exterminador | alkisg: it's a VPS :p | 10:11 |
| lotuspsychje | aftrshock: can you create an usb from ubuntu? | 10:11 |
| Exterminador | is it on .profile or .bashrc? | 10:11 |
| alkisg | Exterminador: for server issues, there's #ubuntu-server; but the .dmrc and accountsettings should work there too | 10:11 |
| aftrshock | .iso | 10:11 |
| aftrshock | it's Kubuntu | 10:11 |
| Bh_ | Hi all, does anyone know when Ubuntu desktop 17.10 will be fixed from the BIOS bug and available for download at the site? | 10:12 |
| jk^ | lotuspsychje i don't know very well what's GRUB but at boot pc doesn't show me anything to choose... Some messages, logo and os starts to be used | 10:12 |
| lapion | I need to remove the user upstart folder which one is it | 10:12 |
| lotuspsychje | jk^: hold SHIFT at boot or ESC to enter grub | 10:12 |
| lapion | alkisg, I need to remove the user upstart folder which one is it | 10:12 |
| alkisg | lapion: there's no user upstart folder | 10:12 |
| alkisg | I don't know why you think you need to remove such a thing | 10:13 |
| lotuspsychje | Bh_: normally that issue is fixxed now, but why take the risk and stick to LTS for a while? | 10:13 |
| lapion | alkisg, only for my user I get no panel | 10:13 |
| alkisg | lapion: ok, but that's not related to upstart | 10:13 |
| jk^ | Ok before i tried shift it didn't happen anything, i will try esc | 10:13 |
| lapion | alkisg, and all other errors are lack of upstart related | 10:13 |
| lotuspsychje | Bh_: until canonical changes that one website, i would avoid it | 10:13 |
| lapion | ls | 10:13 |
| alkisg | lapion: ok, it's possible that the error isn't recorded in .xsession-errors or that you didn't locate it. Did you check permissions? | 10:14 |
| lotuspsychje | aftrshock: i mean can you create your usb from kubuntu/ubuntu? | 10:14 |
| lapion | upstart: indicator-application main process ended, respawning | 10:14 |
| lapion | everything is me:me | 10:14 |
| alkisg | lapion: try this: find ~ ! -uid $(id -u) | 10:14 |
| alkisg | (without sudo) | 10:14 |
| === gms is now known as Guest40590 | ||
| jk^ | Ok lotuspsychje it has opened GNU GRUB version 2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3.14 | 10:15 |
| Bh_ | lotuspsychje: I can install 16.04 (that's the LTS no?) which honestly was installed up till recently on my laptop but I prefer to wait a day or 2 for 17.10 if it will be released soon, the issue is that don't know if its a day or 2 or a month... is there any expected date? | 10:15 |
| aftrshock | lotuspsychje: I'm trying to install it | 10:15 |
| aftrshock | W10 dual boot | 10:15 |
| lapion | alkisg, nothing found | 10:16 |
| Bh_ | I had issues with 16.04 concering using dual screens which I understood was fixed later on (dealt with it about a month ago so my memory is a little fuzzy ;)) | 10:17 |
| lotuspsychje | Bh_: the bug is currently active, alot of users say higher kernels fix this issue | 10:17 |
| jk^ | What have i to do now? - ubuntu - advanced options - memory test - memory test serial control | 10:17 |
| alkisg | lapion: and if you manually start gnome-panel, it runs normally? | 10:17 |
| aftrshock | aftrshock: ideally once I get past the hanging screen, I'm hoping the installer will recognize as give a "isntall alongside Windows " option | 10:17 |
| aftrshock | so I dont have to shrink volumes in W | 10:17 |
| lotuspsychje | jk^: try a previous kernel boot | 10:17 |
| aftrshock | or manually create a swap, etc | 10:17 |
| Bh_ | lotuspsychje: but is there any ETA? | 10:17 |
| aftrshock | oops *lotuspyschje | 10:17 |
| lapion | alkisg, yes | 10:18 |
| lotuspsychje | Bh_: not that i know off, as devs cant forespell the future of a bug? | 10:18 |
| alkisg | lapion: the settings for most programs (panel included) are stored in ~/.config, you can try moving it aside in e.g. .config-bad, and logout/login again | 10:18 |
| alkisg | lapion: there's also gnome-panel --reset, which resets settings | 10:18 |
| jk^ | lotuspsychje how to do that? | 10:18 |
| aftrshock | I'll be back tomorrow. need to sleep. gonna make it a project for the day | 10:18 |
| Bh_ | lotuspsychje: well that y the E exist at ETA, nothing solid. but kewl I got it, thanks for helping me out :) | 10:18 |
| aftrshock | gnight | 10:18 |
| lapion | alkisg, I did all the .gnome .config removal | 10:19 |
| lotuspsychje | !grub > jk^ did you read this? | 10:19 |
| jk^ | [11:17] (lotuspsychje) jk^: try a previous kernel boot | 10:19 |

| jk^ | Yes | 10:19 |
| lotuspsychje | jk^: https://i.stack.imgur.com/NacOm.png | 10:20 |
| alkisg | lapion: which version/flavors is this? e.g. 16.04 unity or 17.10 gnome etc? | 10:20 |
| lapion | 16.04.3 LTS ubuntu basic] | 10:20 |
| alkisg | Hm, well, properly removing .config should fix issues with the current user, unless you tried it while you were already logged in so the files go written/flushed just before logout | 10:21 |
| lapion | alkisg, upgrade from 14.04 | 10:22 |
| alkisg | Try logout, login from vt1 (alt+ctrl+F1) and removing from there | 10:22 |
| lapion | alkisg, to prevent file flushing problems I logout and do all removing from vc1 | 10:23 |

| jk^ | One? | 10:45 |
| jk^ | Which of those? | 10:45 |
| jk^ | I try first one. Same error | 10:45 |
| jk^ | Upstart i don't know what means | 10:45 |
| lotuspsychje | jk^: try a few perhaps the .28? | 10:46 |
| lotuspsychje | jk^: if they dont work, try one with recoverymode | 10:46 |
| jk^ | I tried also recovery mode but after i don ' t know what choose in the next menu | 10:46 |
| jk^ | Ok i'm trying 28 | 10:46 |
| lotuspsychje | jk^: fix graphics you can try in recoverymode | 10:46 |
| jk^ | But after i can restore the latest kernel? | 10:47 |
| jk^ | I tried .28 lotuspsychje but it appears the same error | 10:48 |

| lapion | alkisg, I used a vt to start xinit as root then sudoed to the the user and then used gnome-session --debug 2> etc etc.. | 10:50 |
| lotuspsychje | jk^: have you recently uninstalled applications or dependecies of your system? | 10:50 |
| lotuspsychje | jk^: try this: boot in a kernel with recoverymode and choose root with network access and: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 10:51 |
| alkisg | lapion: as I said, you could create a /usr/share/xsessions/xterm.desktop session instead, and select xterm from the display manager | 10:52 |

| Ubuntivity | I'm looking for the simplest desktop widget (like conky) to simply display a png image with transparency over desktop wallpaper; Advice is needed :) | 10:59 |
| jk^ | Yes lotuspsychje i unistalled the app "Schermo" its translation from italian might be "Monitor/Display" | 10:59 |
| jk^ | I did it by a click error | 11:00 |
| === mma is now known as Ubuntivity-1 | ||
| jk^ | How ever there isn't "Root with network access". There is "Network: enable network" and a different item "Root: go to a shell with root's privileges". Which of these two options have i to choose? | 11:04 |
| jk^ | lotuspsychje | 11:04 |
| lotuspsychje | jk^: rootshell with network enabled | 11:05 |

| lotuspsychje | jk^: ok, enable network first, then go to a rootshell | 11:08 |
| Ubuntivity | lotuspsychje: anything simpler? | 11:09 |
| jk^ | Jus 1) "Network: enable network" and 2) "Root: go to a shell with root's privileges" Which of these two options have i to choose? | 11:09 |

| lotuspsychje | Ubuntivity: one option would be showing your pictures, but i think thats in full-screen | 11:15 |
| Ubuntivity | lotuspsychje: is there a way to order gnome to modify images before setting them as wallpaper? that would be sufficient to add my logo as watermark | 11:15 |
| jk^ | lotuspsychje excuse me fo repeation, i guess u didn't read me [12:12] (jk^) lotuspsychje: it asks me "Press enter for maintenance (or Control-D to continue) | 11:16 |

| alkisg | and xinit does? | 11:22 |
| lapion | alkisg, hmm I was focussing on the wrong thing.... | 11:22 |
| lapion | alkisg, I just installed mate-desktop.. | 11:22 |
| alkisg | lapion: and? | 11:23 |
| alkisg | lotuspsychje: how did it stop working, did he install new graphics drivers etc? | 11:23 |
| jk^ | alkisg [10:09] (jk^) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FaMH9Vh7so2oMjBhjEEsiWlFzl6xCHSw/view?usp=drivesdk | 11:23 |
| lotuspsychje | lol | 11:24 |
| alkisg | jk^: how did that happen, did you install or remove packages or drivers? | 11:24 |
| jk^ | No | 11:24 |
| lapion | alkisg, mate works perfect... | 11:24 |
| jk^ | Maybe for a clicking error | 11:24 |
| alkisg | lapion: it doesn't use gnome-panel, so sure | 11:24 |
| alkisg | jk^: so you had a xubuntu system, and you clicked with the mouse, and it stopped working? | 11:25 |
| lotuspsychje | alkisg: <jk^> Yes lotuspsychje i unistalled the app "Schermo" its translation from italian might be "Monitor/Display" | 11:25 |
| alkisg | And I guess with that, a lot of necessary apps :D | 11:25 |
| jk^ | [11:50] (lotuspsychje) jk^: have you recently uninstalled applications or dependecies of your system?[11:59] (jk^) Yes lotuspsychje i unistalled the app "Schermo" its translation from italian might be "Monitor/Display" | 11:25 |
| alkisg | jk^: go to a terminal, type this, and then paste the output: cat /var/log/apt/history.log | nc termbin.com 9999 | 11:26 |
| lapion | alkisg, somehow somewhere outside of the regular gnome-panel config folders and files there is another folder and or file in which there are gnome-panel config settings that is not traceable whatsoever.. | 11:26 |
| lotuspsychje | alkisg: i suggested him to reinstall xubuntu-desktop from rootshell recoverymode | 11:27 |
| lapion | logging in with a new user there where no problems. | 11:27 |
| alkisg | lapion: that doesn't sound likely. There's .local, but it doesn't store gnome-panel settings. Are you sure it works in new users? | 11:27 |
| alkisg | lapion: you could also start with mv /home/lapion /home/lapion.old; mkdir /home/lapion; chown; login; and then move files back | 11:27 |
| jk^ | lotuspsychje yes i found solution like that on the web but i don't know how to do that | 11:28 |
| alkisg | lotuspsychje: let's see what he uninstalled first | 11:28 |
| lapion | alkisg, I even logged in with an empty folder to move all the old folders back ( without overwriting ) upon relogin same problem | 11:28 |
| lotuspsychje | jk^: enter the command from alkisg | 11:28 |
| jk^ | Ok but how to go to terminal? | 11:28 |
| alkisg | lapion: at that point, you do "binary search", you start with all the folders without dot in front, which shouldn't matter, then you also bring back a few of the dot folders files, then the rest, until you discover which dot folder/file causes the issue | 11:29 |
| alkisg | jk^: reboot in recovery mode, select "enable networking", and then "root shell": | 11:29 |
| alkisg | And run the command from there | 11:29 |
| lapion | more then 120 .folders | 11:30 |
| alkisg | lapion: a good binary search is log2(numfiles), so no more than 10 steps at most should be necessary | 11:30 |
| alkisg | 2^10 = 1024 | 11:30 |
| alkisg | (folders) | 11:30 |
| jk^ | alkisg : it asks me "Press enter for maintenance (or Control-D to continue) | 11:31 |
| alkisg | jk^: well then press enter :) | 11:33 |
| alkisg | jk^: do you have the result of the command? I need to leave in a bit.. | 11:37 |

| jk^ | alkisg | 11:38 |
| jk^ | lotuspsychje | 11:38 |
| alkisg | jk^: that means that you didn't select "enable networking" as I said | 11:38 |
| alkisg | or that you don't have a wired internet connection | 11:38 |
| alkisg | Anyway, run: dhclient | 11:38 |
| alkisg | And then the nc command again | 11:38 |
| alkisg | Does it work after running dhclient? | 11:38 |
| alkisg | See the "enable networking" menu there: https://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/ubuntu-recovery-menu.png | 11:39 |
| alkisg | You should select that one, before going to root shell | 11:39 |
| jk^ | I selected "enable network" first, and after i click "Root". However there is also a wired internet connection | 11:40 |
| alkisg | Hm. Enable network but without network? | 11:40 |
| alkisg | Anyway, did dhclient now work? | 11:40 |
| alkisg | Did if fix the networking? | 11:40 |
| jk^ | I will try again | 11:41 |
| jk^ | [12:38] (alkisg) Anyway, run: dhclient | 11:45 |
| jk^ | I typed dhclient and pressend enter | 11:45 |

| lotuspsychje | jk^: the ubuntu setup can save your /home data | 12:05 |
| BluesKaj | jk^, do you use the default app network-manager...assuming you have network problems | 12:05 |
| Supercazzola | I told great for lotuspsychje's idea | 12:05 |
| Supercazzola | Where is the problem? | 12:05 |

| Supercazzola | I go in ot | 12:07 |
| cdrkeen | the md5 checked out i have no clue, | 12:07 |
| jk^ | BluesKaj my initial error is this https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FaMH9Vh7so2oMjBhjEEsiWlFzl6xCHSw/view?usp=drivesdk | 12:08 |
| cfhowlett | cdrkeen, you're getting i/o errors while booting the USB? | 12:08 |
| alkisg | jk^: run this command, then try again: echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" >> /etc/resolv.conf | 12:08 |
| alkisg | jk^: does the nc command work after that? | 12:08 |
| jk^ | Pls help me i need pc for job | 12:08 |
| cdrkeen | once i get to the desktop, try to open up any application from the live usb, i get i\o error | 12:09 |
| cdrkeen | theres no images for the icons either | 12:09 |
| cfhowlett | cdrkeen, i/o usually points to failing hardware. easy test; make a new USB and see if the behavior repeats. | 12:09 |
| cdrkeen | i've tried 5 flash drives | 12:10 |
| alkisg | cdrkeen: do they work in any other pc? | 12:10 |
| cfhowlett | same error each time | 12:10 |
| cdrkeen | so they're all bad | 12:10 |
| cdrkeen | ? | 12:10 |
| cfhowlett | cdrkeen doubtful. | 12:10 |
| cdrkeen | i got the terminal to open by just enabling nomodeset, but then if you try to install, it doesn't do anyting | 12:11 |
| BluesKaj | ok, I misunderstood the situation. jk^ | 12:11 |
| cdrkeen | im going to try to reboot vanilla, with quiet off and see i can find an error | 12:11 |
| markus-k | is there any way to connect to gnomes vnc server when the screen is off? gdm is running, but vino isn't | 12:12 |
| jk^ | alkisg just a moment. After i enter sudo dhclient i entered again the comman u give me before [12:26] (alkisg) jk^: go to a terminal, type this, and then paste the output: cat /var/log/apt/history.log | nc termbin.com 9999 | 12:12 |
| jk^ | Now somethings happens | 12:13 |
| lotuspsychje | neem | 12:13 |
| jk^ | But how to show u what i see on monitor? | 12:13 |
| cdrkeen | ok, i booted vanilla i get Watchdog error cpu hangups | 12:13 |
| jk^ | alkisg | 12:13 |
| cfhowlett | cdrkeen, is this a lenovo? | 12:14 |
| cdrkeen | no its a dell laptop | 12:14 |
| cdrkeen | 2016 | 12:15 |
| cfhowlett | cdrkeen, first ubuntu install? | 12:15 |
| cdrkeen | first time trying on this machine | 12:16 |
| jk^ | alkisg, BluesKaj told me to enter sudo dhclient and it tells me "file exists" | 12:16 |
| cfhowlett | cdrkeen, that CPU error is troubling. suggestion: try 16.04 instead. it's long term support and is generally more stable | 12:17 |
| BluesKaj | alkisg, I assumed jk^ was having ethernet connection problems with static IP setup in the interfaces file | 12:17 |
| cdrkeen | ok | 12:18 |
| jk^ | https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Px_OdXq2qWEPfLXYlw96YNRWqOBr09BY/view?usp=drivesdk | 12:18 |

| Vladimirski | I'm following a guide to make ubuntu (installed to a usb stick) to be able to boot on Mac, so some settings need to be set in grub. I'm stuck at finding the installation. This is the guide: https://medium.com/@mmiglier/ubuntu-installation-on-usb-stick-with-pure-efi-boot-mac-compatible-469ad33645c9 | 12:19 |
| Vladimirski | Could some help me out on this? | 12:19 |
| Vladimirski | The step I don't get is: grub> ls (hd2,gpt2)/home mmiglier/ | 12:20 |
| Vladimirski | not sure what that suppose to do or if I'm doing it incorrectly | 12:20 |
| jk^ | lotuspsychje but if i format pc and reinstall i will lose all my documents in xubuntu | 12:21 |
| jk^ | :( | 12:21 |
| lotuspsychje | jk^: no, setup can save your /home | 12:21 |
| cfhowlett | jk^, you can reinstall without formatting your home. and I'm sure you've already backed up your data anyway. right? RIGHT? | 12:22 |
| jk^ | Can i resolve the problem in other way? I found some web resources who tells me to reinstall xubuntu-desktop but i don't know the exact sequence of what i have to do and to type | 12:23 |
| cfhowlett | jk^, sudo apt install --reinstall xubunt-desktop | 12:23 |
| lotuspsychje | jk^: its your system... reinstall xubuntu-desktop through the rootshell then | 12:23 |
| jk^ | No cfhowlett my data are in the operating system installed | 12:24 |
| cfhowlett | jk^, installing xubuntu-desktop is NOT reinstalling ubuntu. | 12:24 |
| jk^ | Just a moment | 12:24 |
| cfhowlett | it's the gui, the apps and such. does nothing to data | 12:24 |
| lotuspsychje | Vladimirski: can this help you? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 12:25 |
| jk^ | https://forum.ubuntu-it.org/viewtopic.php?f=53&p=4203959 | 12:25 |
| jk^ | I found solutions like this | 12:25 |
| jk^ | But in each of them there are different command they tell to enter | 12:26 |
| cfhowlett | jk^, you've been fighting this at least since yesterday. time to pack it in: back up your important data and reinstall. it's easy. | 12:26 |
| jk^ | I guess i have to enter a command like this in recovery mode and after enabled network and after press "Root" | 12:27 |
| Vladimirski | lotuspsychje: thanks, but I need to install a full ubuntu to the usb stick, persistence live usb is not what I'm after unfortunately | 12:27 |
| jk^ | How to backup if os doesn't start? | 12:27 |
| jk^ | cfhowlett | 12:28 |
| cfhowlett | jk^, boot from a USB, mount the HDD, go to your /home and backup to a USB | 12:28 |
| lotuspsychje | Vladimirski: ubuntu from a liveusb will bottleneck your Os on usb speed | 12:28 |
| lotuspsychje | Vladimirski: i mean installed to usb | 12:28 |
| Vladimirski | I know but it's fine | 12:28 |
| lotuspsychje | kk | 12:29 |
| jk^ | cfhowlett i don't think i can do that | 12:29 |
| Vladimirski | And it's usb 3.0 so it's enough speed for me | 12:29 |
| jk^ | I'm not very good at pc | 12:29 |
| lotuspsychje | Vladimirski: how about this: http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014/11/install-real-ubuntu-os-usb-drive/ | 12:29 |
| Vladimirski | lotuspsychje: I'm just wondering how to actually follow that guide | 12:29 |

| lotuspsychje | jk^: next time dont uninstall needed system files and have an external backup of your files | 12:32 |
| cdrkeen | yay i fingered it out | 12:33 |
| cfhowlett | cdrkeen, tell us | 12:33 |
| Vladimirski | lotuspsychje: Thanks, I've already tried that, the problem on a Mac is that the usb (with a linux distro pre-installed on it) is not visible in the bootloader, so the EFI boot needs to be correctly setup | 12:33 |
| cdrkeen | i boot with i915_bpo.nomodeset=1 but i thought i fixed it because the installer started, but then it force closes | 12:34 |
| cfhowlett | nice work! | 12:34 |
| cdrkeen | im getting squashfs errors :( | 12:35 |
| lotuspsychje | cdrkeen: where did you find solution? | 12:35 |
| cdrkeen | https://connorkuehl.github.io/dell-inspiron-7559-linux-guide/#toc-installation | 12:35 |
| cdrkeen | from there | 12:35 |
| cdrkeen | well i lied same problem | 12:37 |
| BluesKaj | Vladimirski, do you have usb first in the boot sequence in the efi? | 12:45 |
| Vladimirski | BluesKaj: Not sure about your question, I have the USB in the laptop all the time | 12:49 |
| Vladimirski | But I do not see it in the boot menu | 12:50 |
| lotuspsychje | Vladimirski: if you like ubuntu so much, physical install on your mac or virtualbox ubuntu is an option for you? | 12:50 |
| BluesKaj | Vladimirski, is there an option in your efi/bios boot sequence for usb boot? | 12:51 |
| Vladimirski | No I need to have it on an USB, since I'm changing between hardware | 12:52 |
| lotuspsychje | kk | 12:52 |
| Vladimirski | BluesKaj: I'm trying to check that but it seems like Apple has restricted that option | 12:52 |
| lotuspsychje | cdrkeen: to get your issue solved better, re-ask your original question with all details here in chat | 12:53 |
| cdrkeen | i figured it out ubuntu doesn't like sandisk flash drives, used a kingston and it works fine now. | 13:00 |
| lotuspsychje | !yay | cdrkeen | 13:00 |
| ubottu | cdrkeen: Glad you made it! :-) | 13:00 |
| cdrkeen | but i'll miss my read write speeds T-T | 13:01 |
| lotuspsychje | cdrkeen: i got several sandisk media, works like a charm on ubuntu | 13:02 |
| lotuspsychje | cdrkeen: tryed tail -f /var/log/syslog on them or reformat clean with gparted? | 13:03 |
| cdrkeen | did you boot from them? | 13:03 |
| cdrkeen | i kept getting squashfs errors from sandisk drives | 13:03 |
| lotuspsychje | cdrkeen: yeah sure, how you created them? | 13:04 |
| cdrkeen | i tried, lili, rufus, unetbootin, and from ubuntu itself | 13:04 |
| lotuspsychje | cdrkeen: the tools you create can really differ from each other, i only make em with ubuntu usb creator | 13:05 |
| lotuspsychje | cdrkeen: in the past i also had some usb sticks that didnt like to boot from bios, (white brands cheap) | 13:07 |
| cdrkeen | i'm using sandisk ultras :( | 13:07 |
| lotuspsychje | cdrkeen: try a tail on them for errors | 13:07 |
| lotuspsychje | cdrkeen: wich ubuntu version did you create them from? | 13:09 |

| tigefa | use ppa https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam dev version | 14:53 |
| lordcirth | ovalseven8, interestingly, those CVE's aren't even showing up on Ubuntu's CVE tracker | 14:54 |
| jk^^ | BluesKaj, "Software" i guess is the "Software center" "Ubuntu software center" i don't know its name on the other flavours and on ubuntu, but i think it's the official place where install and unistall official and supported apps | 14:56 |
| jk^^ | lordcirth, | 14:56 |
| Acheron-a | Note: This attack only affects Windows operating systems. Other operating systems are unaffected. | 14:57 |
| BluesKaj | jk^^, yes, aka package manager | 14:57 |
| ovalseven8 | Acheron-a: Well, there are also bugs with severity "high" | 14:58 |
| lordcirth | jk^^, I think the package you want is called 'xfce4-settings' | 14:58 |
| jk^^ | ok but my questione is the same yet... when i accidentally unistalled "Schermo", after i was looking for it in "Software" but it didn't appears anywhere | 14:59 |
| jk^^ | in "Software" | 14:59 |
| jk^^ | in anysection | 14:59 |
| jk^^ | and even by searching it in the text box for search | 14:59 |
| lordcirth | jk^^, Does xfce4-settings show up? | 14:59 |
| lordcirth | I have no experience with using Linux in non-English languages, and I never use the graphical package manager, so I don't know why it shows up under "Schermo" only when installed | 15:00 |
| BluesKaj | Schermo translates to Screen | 15:01 |
| lordcirth | BluesKaj, yes, but why would it not show up unless the package is installed? | 15:02 |
| lordcirth | I mean why would it show up as Schermo in a package manager, even though that's not the package name | 15:03 |
| jk^^ | no, lordcirth it doesn't show up, maybe it is shown by its name translated | 15:03 |
| jk^^ | lordcirth, however when i unistalled it accidentally, i tried to reinstall, but i can't find it in "Software" | 15:04 |
| lordcirth | Well, installing it from the command line with apt should work | 15:04 |
| jk^^ | i searched for "Schermo" "Monitor" | 15:04 |
| jk^^ | "Screen" | 15:04 |
| jk^^ | "Display" | 15:04 |
| jk^^ | nothing appeared | 15:04 |
| BluesKaj | lordcirth, dunno, it should show up in a search either as installed or not , but some of the newer package managers including discover are unreliable there muon ot synaptic are preferable in my experience | 15:04 |
| BluesKaj | 'scuse my poor punctuation | 15:05 |
| BluesKaj | and spelling | 15:05 |
| BluesKaj | lordcirth, dunno, it should show up in a search either as installed or not , but some of the newer package managers including discover are unreliable, muon or synaptic are preferable in my experience | 15:06 |
| BluesKaj | jk^, install sysnaptic, it's amuch better package manager than software center | 15:08 |
| BluesKaj | synaptic rather | 15:08 |
| BluesKaj | bbiab....need some breakfast | 15:09 |
| jk^^ | ok BluesKaj then is it possible have two or more different package manager / software center on the same os? | 15:10 |
| BluesKaj | jk^^, yes | 15:11 |
| jk^^ | wow | 15:11 |
| BluesKaj | they all use dpkg which is the base packaging system | 15:11 |
| BluesKaj | !dpkg | 15:11 |
| ubottu | dpkg is the Debian package maintenance system, which together with apt forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. | 15:11 |

| xdije | hi | 15:57 |
| xdije | i have ubuntu installed on 100G disk and i want to move it to a smaller disk | 15:58 |
| xdije | how can i | 15:58 |
| xdije | i can not boot with live image | 15:58 |
| xdije | i tried to use partimage and partclone but both says can not clone mounted system | 15:59 |
| EriC^^ | xdije: do you have a live usb? | 16:01 |
| xdije | i can not boot live image | 16:01 |
| xdije | i dont have access to the machine , i have only ssh | 16:02 |
| EriC^^ | why not? | 16:02 |
| EriC^^ | can you reboot it in read-only mode? | 16:02 |
| xdije | then i will not be able to access it, | 16:03 |
| EriC^^ | xdije: ok, create a partition table, and partitions on the 100gb disk and then mount them and rsync the install over | 16:05 |
| EriC^^ | xdije: let mkfs.ext4 -U <old uuid here> so you dont have to edit fstab | 16:05 |
| EriC^^ | xdije: then chroot and install the bootloader | 16:05 |
| xdije | you mean install ubuntu again on the new disk | 16:06 |
| EriC^^ | xdije: no, i mean copy the install over, and reinstall the bootloader manually | 16:07 |
| xdije | be patient with me, 1. create ext4 partition on the new disk, rsync all diskt1 data to the new disk partition , then chroot to the new partition and install bootloader | 16:09 |
| alkisg | xdije: service lightdm stop; mkdir /run/source; mount --bind / /run/source; cp -a /run/source /media/path/to/dest; chroot /media/path/to/dest dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc | 16:15 |
| alkisg | The mount --bind is used to avoid copying submounts like /dev, /proc etc | 16:15 |

| im_bad_at_linux | Hi, i just tried installing the nvidia proprietary drivers and now my system keeps booting up in rescue mode. I have blacklisted nouveau, purged all previous nvidia packages... Also i can run startx and it starts up my DE just fine | 16:21 |
| im_bad_at_linux | (i'm on ubuntu 16.04) | 16:21 |
| b1101 | Is Unity the default DE in the current lts? I know Ubuntu is going back to gnome, just not sure if it happened yet | 16:21 |
| im_bad_at_linux | I think so but i'm running kde | 16:22 |
| === eraserpencil1 is now known as eraserpencil | ||

| xdije | and my / partition has 5.8G | 16:24 |
| b1101 | brainwash: thanks. | 16:25 |
| im_bad_at_linux | Anyways could someone help me with the nvidia drivers? | 16:26 |
| brainwash | I thought that the nvidia driver installation blacklists nouveau automatically | 16:26 |
| brainwash | how did you install the driver? | 16:27 |
| im_bad_at_linux | First i tried with the driver from nvidia website, then from the ppa | 16:27 |
| brainwash | mmh | 16:27 |
| brainwash | so, not via "Software & Updates -> Additional Drivers" | 16:28 |
| im_bad_at_linux | No i did it via command line | 16:28 |
| im_bad_at_linux | Which should be the same | 16:29 |
| im_bad_at_linux | As software manager is just a GUI front end for apt | 16:29 |
| brainwash | right | 16:30 |
| im_bad_at_linux | Sorry app fucked up | 16:35 |
| im_bad_at_linux | Did u say anything | 16:35 |
| brainwash | no | 16:35 |
| brainwash | it was more about the source of the driver: nvidia website or PPA VS. ubuntu provided | 16:35 |
| im_bad_at_linux | PPA | 16:36 |
| im_bad_at_linux | The official ppa | 16:36 |
| brainwash | did you try the driver from the ubuntu repository? | 16:36 |
| brainwash | the PPA one may the latest, and least tested one | 16:36 |
| im_bad_at_linux | I installed nvidia-current from there | 16:37 |
| im_bad_at_linux | Which should be 304 | 16:38 |
| xdije | alkisg: after chroot the dpkg command faild because it tried to install grun on the old disk | 16:38 |
| im_bad_at_linux | I mean 340 | 16:39 |
| im_bad_at_linux | Now trying ubuntu's recommended with "ubuntu-drivers autoinstall" | 16:41 |
| dreamScript | Woot | 16:41 |
| im_bad_at_linux | ? | 16:41 |
| dreamScript | First time using Linux? | 16:41 |
| im_bad_at_linux | Me? | 16:42 |
| brainwash | im_bad_at_linux: you haven't mentioned yet which GPU you have | 16:42 |
| im_bad_at_linux | Nvidia geforce 820M | 16:42 |
| brainwash | ok | 16:42 |
| dreamScript | Woops, wrong chan. | 16:42 |
| brainwash | im_bad_at_linux: so, maybe give nvidia-384 a try | 16:43 |
| im_bad_at_linux | Kk i'm rebooting now after the last one if that doesnt work i'll try that one | 16:43 |
| im_bad_at_linux | Ok failed, will install 384 next | 16:45 |
| pikapika | I was having some electrical problems. Anyways...is Windows 7/10 like window thumbnails possible for minimized windows in XFCE? | 16:46 |
| brainwash | pikapika: not with xfce4-panel I think. the alt-tab switcher has window preview thumbnails | 16:48 |
| pikapika | Oh :( | 16:49 |
| pikapika | So is there any alternative start bar? | 16:49 |
| pikapika | That has the required feature | 16:49 |
| alkisg | xdije: check the grub reinstall page, you also need to bind-mount run, proc etc before chrooting | 16:50 |
| alkisg | and, dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc asks for which disk to install into | 16:50 |
| im_bad_at_linux | KDE should have that feature but that's another DE and is a little bit less light-weight | 16:50 |
| brainwash | pikapika: KDE's panel has this feature, but it may be a bit tricky to run it in the Xfce session | 16:50 |
| alkisg | !grub | 16:50 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 16:50 |
| pikapika | Huh | 16:50 |
| pikapika | I could run a KDE environment too | 16:50 |
| pikapika | Just a quick question | 16:50 |
| xdije | alkisg: i will bin mount it again and chroot and try to run it | 16:51 |
| banisterfiend | hi there -- any dutch dudes here? if so, how did you get the correct keyboard mapping in an ubuntu vm? no matter what mapping i choose it's all screwey (i'm on an apple MBPR 2017) | 16:51 |
| im_bad_at_linux | Banisterfiend i'm from belgium i assume it's the same keyboard | 16:51 |
| pikapika | Does KDE have any "clever" ideas about placement of titlebar and menubar? Which is to say, I hope KDE has both in the right place. The lack of this feature is what forced me to switch from the default to xfce in the first place | 16:51 |
| xdije | alkisg: it says /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error can not find a device for / (is /dev mounted_ | 16:52 |
| im_bad_at_linux | You can do' setxkbmap be 'or 'loadkeys be-latin1' i think | 16:52 |
| alkisg | xdije: yes that's because the bind-moutns are missing | 16:52 |
| alkisg | for d in proc sys dev dev/pts; do mount --bind /$d /path/to/chroot/$d; done | 16:53 |
| pikapika | Aka both menubar and titlebar must be simultaneously visible and in the proper place in window, not at the top of the screen or something | 16:53 |
| alkisg | and after bind-mounting those, THEN chroot dpkg-reconfigure etc | 16:53 |
| alkisg | See the grub page | 16:53 |
| alkisg | !grub | 16:53 |
| im_bad_at_linux | Pikapika: you can place it where you want, kde is highly adaptable | 16:53 |
| brainwash | pikapika: no idea. gnome with an extension can do it too | 16:53 |
| brainwash | pikapika: the preview thingy I mean | 16:53 |
| pikapika | Oh | 16:53 |
| pikapika | Unfortunately the correct placement of menu and title is important too | 16:54 |

| pikapika | Thanks everyone | 17:00 |
| pikapika | Guess I'll go ask in some xfce forum to get the attention of those who have knowledge in the subject. If not, then there isnt really any BIG reasons for me not to use kde plasma | 17:01 |
| brainwash | im_bad_at_linux: I this case you will have to check the system log, and Xorg related log files | 17:01 |
| im_bad_at_linux | Sec | 17:02 |

| brainwash | which ubuntu release is that exactly? | 17:19 |
| NyanCat | brainwash: the specific one I'm trying to install would be based on the latest LTS which is 16.04.3 | 17:20 |
| brainwash | ok | 17:20 |
| brainwash | did you test with a newer release yet? | 17:20 |
| brainwash | it usually helps to know if the problem is solved in later releases | 17:21 |
| NyanCat | I have not, though I could try a newer release if I can't find a workaround now | 17:21 |

| Phrohdoh | apt-source is claiming that I do not have source URIs in my sources.list so I uncommented the xenial universe deb-src, same error, replaces xenial with zesty in that same line, same error | 17:45 |
| NyanCat | sec | 17:46 |
| NyanCat | Sorry, was just checking mount to be sure | 17:46 |
| ecormier | NyanCat: what info does it give when you right click the partition with the lock and choose info... | 17:47 |

| NyanCat | but the partition's reactivated itself | 17:50 |
| Phrohdoh | Ok enabling 'sources' via the software GUI did whatever needed to be done for `apt-source` to work the way I wanted -- now I can go revert that. | 17:51 |
| Phrohdoh | (and hopefully apt provides a mechanism to clean up after itself) | 17:51 |
| NyanCat | the good news is I deleted the swap partition | 17:51 |
| NyanCat | ecormier: at this point I'm half tempted to back up what data I have on my Windows partition and then just start over with a blank drive | 17:53 |

I booted off the USB stick, it got to the Aardvark wallpaper (blank) and froze. I read this is become of the app (Rufus) that wrote the .iso. Does that sound right? I must use a different app? Windows won't let me burn a DVDR cause it says there's no disc in the drive. | 18:04 |
| GizmoRomick | I have a folder full of about 2500 files which names are numbered (ex: 1233 - filename). What is the best way to rename all of them to remove the leading number and dash? | 18:10 |
| Phrohdoh | `rename`? | 18:11 |
| akik | afrtshock: you could try rufus one more time. after starting it, press alt+i once. it says something like disabling iso support. then use it to write to the usb stick | 18:11 |
| afrtshock | ok. Do you think not disabling Securte boot might have been the culprit | 18:11 |
| afrtshock | ? | 18:11 |
| NyanCat | I've got one last question if anyone can answer it | 18:12 |
| afrtshock | akik: do you think when I make it to the installer it willl give a "isntall alongside Windows" option? Not too keen on shrinking volues and making swap,etc. Would prefer the installer walked me through it | 18:12 |
| NyanCat | Now I've got the OS installed and am installing the nvidia driver as we speak, but I think that GRUB didn't install to the correct spot because I'm still getting my old Fedora GRUB when I boot | 18:12 |
| NyanCat | Is there a way to determine what partition that said grub is installed to and overwrite it with the one from my new OS | 18:13 |
| akik | afrtshock: no. you'll need to provide it with some free storage to install into | 18:14 |
| salar | salam | 18:19 |

| zdorovo | Hey all. I'm trying to install ubuntu on an old laptop (circa 2009) but I'm having issues | 19:47 |
| zdorovo | i made a bootable usb stick with 16.04 on it. However, when i try to boot from said USB stick I just get a black screen and a blinking cursor | 19:48 |
| zdorovo | the USB stick works on my more modern laptop though | 19:48 |
| zdorovo | what's more is I know i've booted from USB on that old laptop before. I've even installed earlier versions of ubuntu onto it | 19:49 |
| zdorovo | any ideas about what could be going wrong? | 19:49 |
| zdorovo | is it possible it's a BIOS vs UEFI thing? this old laptop doesn't have UEFI | 19:50 |
| zdorovo | the usb stick is 32GB with a single partition. It's using the FAT32 filesystem | 19:51 |
| Bashing-om | !nomodeset | zdorovo | 19:55 |
| ubottu | zdorovo: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 19:55 |
| === dv`_ is now known as dv` | ||
| zdorovo | ubottu: Thanks for the hint. I don't see how I can use this parameter though. The website says "If you boot ubuntu from a livecd (or USB stick), right after the bios splash screen you will get a purple screen with a keyboard logo at the bottom". I don't get that purple screen though | 20:03 |
| ubottu | zdorovo: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 20:03 |
| zdorovo | I just get a black screen immediately after the BIOS splash screen | 20:04 |
| ioria | zdorovo, press F6 - select nomodeset | 20:04 |
| zdorovo | pressing F6 doesn't seem to do anything | 20:09 |

| zdorovo | i'm having exactly the same problemes trying to boot arch linux from USB | 20:22 |
| ioria | zdorovo, nomodeset not working ? | 20:23 |
| zdorovo | ioria: i don't have a way of setting the nomodeset parameter. pressing the F keys doesn't seem to do anything | 20:25 |
| zdorovo | according to that forum post, i should be seeing some sort of purple screen before I press F6. I don't see that purple screen | 20:25 |
| ioria | zdorovo, you press F6 when you get to the Main menu | 20:26 |
| lapion | zdorovo, you are using grub ? | 20:26 |
| ioria | zdorovo, how did you do the usb stick ? | 20:27 |
| lapion | zdorovo, does the stick boot through grub or du you just get a commandline ? | 20:27 |
| lapion | if you just get a command line you should press tab | 20:27 |
| lapion | you should somke names next to each other.. | 20:28 |
| lapion | Usually the first one is live | 20:28 |
| lapion | you can then type live nomodeset | 20:28 |
| zdorovo | i'm starting to think i did the dd command incorrectly. I used of=/dev/sda1 when apparently i'm supposed to be using /dev/sda (without the partition number) | 20:28 |
| ioria | yep | 20:28 |
| zdorovo | though it's still odd that booting from USB works on my newer laptop | 20:28 |
| lapion | newer laptop used uefi.. | 20:29 |
| lapion | older laptop uses bios | 20:29 |
| ioria | sudo dd if=ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdx | 20:29 |
| lapion | newer ubuntu iso images are not correctly tested to booting from usb on bios systems | 20:30 |

| === HoloIRCUser3 is now known as Kbharatht | ||
| ioria | Bashing-om, your idea instead was good : zdorovo you too | 20:34 |
| zdorovo | lapion: so I guess the problem is BIOS couldn't find the operating system but UEFI could? | 20:34 |
| Bashing-om | zdorovo: like the boot order settings in bios ? | 20:34 |
| lapion | well it's most probably a start-up-disk creator combination problem.. | 20:34 |
| zdorovo | what is it about UEFI that lets if find the OS? | 20:35 |
| ioria | he used dd not start-up-disk creator | 20:35 |
| akik | lapion: tell me an ubuntu iso that has that problem and i'll test it | 20:35 |
| lapion | older start-disk creators create correct bootable usb sticks with iso images | 20:35 |

| lapion | on uefi systems I get the correct grub boot.. only on bios only I get this .. unless I create to usb on pre 12.10 systems | 20:43 |

| apb1963 | Kbharatht, just a wild guess, but when I see fsck followed by "I can't boot"... it makes me wonder if the boot image got corrupted. | 21:04 |
| _KaszpiR_ | Kbharatht is it bare metal or virtual machine? | 21:05 |
| Kbharatht | After fsck i have booted and asked to enter system logon password after that showing a blank screen | 21:05 |
| _KaszpiR_ | maybe reboot and when there is an option to load specific grub options the edit the boot line and add 'nomodeset nosplash' at the end | 21:06 |
| Kbharatht | Now i am at advance recovery section | 21:07 |

| allenlong | no, the ubuntu was hardly working, would freeze up all the time, crash, etc, but it did have wireless network built in | 22:36 |
| tatertots | logically the honest answer is either "i don't know because i didn't try" or "yes" | 22:36 |
| allenlong | no, i had no prob connecting to my wifi, could see all available networks, etc | 22:36 |
| tatertots | so something the system administrator did "post" installation may have impacted wifi ? | 22:37 |
| tatertots | are you saying that's at minimum a "possibility"? | 22:38 |

| allenlong | i found this on one of the forums, it seems this is a common issue with this distro | 22:42 |
| tatertots | so that means it's working now? yes or no | 22:43 |
| tatertots | no right> | 22:43 |
| tatertots | ? | 22:43 |
| jk^ | pls | 22:43 |
| jk^ | i'm on xubuntu 16.04.3, which is the command to install seahorse? | 22:44 |
| Bashing-om | !info seahorse xenial | 22:44 |
| ubottu | seahorse (source: seahorse): GNOME front end for GnuPG. In component main, is optional. Version 3.18.0-2ubuntu1 (xenial), package size 414 kB, installed size 2116 kB | 22:44 |
| Bashing-om | jk^: ' sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade ; sudo apt install seahorse ' . | 22:44 |
| allenlong | so i entered iwconfig and it says no wireless extensions | 22:45 |
| jk^ | ok | 22:45 |
| tatertots | interesting that according to your own testimony...wireless works when booted to livecd/liveusb | 22:45 |
| jk^ | after it asks me password, but it doesn't let me enter it | 22:45 |
| jk^ | Bashing-om, | 22:46 |
| allenlong | how can i remedy the no wireless extensions | 22:46 |
| Jakethepython | Hello room, is there a way to reinstall Ubuntu or restore it to the generic settings of when it was first installed w/ out reinstalling | 22:47 |
| Ben64 | no | 22:48 |
| allenlong | sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucis-generic | 22:48 |
| Jakethepython | ok | 22:48 |
| allenlong | im gonna put this in, says its for wireless drivers | 22:48 |
| allenlong | says unable to locate package | 22:48 |
| Jakethepython | my DNS and everything is screwed up not allowing me to do OPEN vpn, | 22:49 |
| Ben64 | allenlong: don't just keep doing random things you find online | 22:49 |
| tatertots | allenlong: you're not having much luck getting "packages" installed from the "internet" | 22:49 |
| allenlong | sudo lshw -C network | 22:50 |
| allenlong | just did this! | 22:50 |
| Ben64 | ok, pastebin the result | 22:50 |
| Bashing-om | jk^: Security measuere, there is no response to the screen when password is entered, enter the pass word blindly and hit the enter key . | 22:50 |
| Apachez | Happy New Year everybody! | 22:51 |
| tatertots | Jakethepython: are you planning on attempting to fix your DNS network issue? or are you going to call your ISP and have them figure it out? | 22:51 |
| allenlong | says ethernet interfae and has info then down further dsay network disable=d wireless interface | 22:51 |
| Ben64 | allenlong: pastebin the result | 22:51 |
| allenlong | im on my desktop, gimme sec | 22:51 |
| allenlong | i cant figure out how to put it here, this is my desktop, its on a laptop | 22:54 |
| Ben64 | go to paste.ubuntu.com and paste it there | 22:54 |
| Ben64 | then give the link here | 22:55 |
| tatertots | allenlong: ever thought to "temporarily" "hardwire" the laptop | 22:55 |
| allenlong | but it says network disabled wireless interface | 22:55 |
| allenlong | ok, lemme get ethernet cabnle | 22:55 |
| tatertots | allenlong: you could even use that "cord" from your desktop | 22:55 |
| === xMopxShell is now known as xMopx | ||
| tatertots | allenlong: then once you have successfully "hardwired" the computer to the network to address the wireless issue... | 22:58 |
| Jakethepython | I don't know what the DNS issue is..because i was trying to do a local VPN to test the server settings not via the ISP and it was giving the same error so i think its more of a NIC issue on the server w/ its settings | 22:58 |
| tatertots | allenlong: sudo apt install inxi pastebinit | 22:58 |
| tatertots | allenlong: you'll need to confirm with "yes" after entering your password and pressing enter | 23:00 |
| adder | cheers everyone, all the best. | 23:00 |
| eel_ | Happy New Year! | 23:01 |
| tatertots | Jakethepython: so your "DNS issue" isn't a DNS issue after all now on second though, I guess you needed to "deliberate" | 23:01 |
| tatertots | Jakethepython: are you %100 certain it's even a NIC issue? | 23:02 |
| Jakethepython | No , I guess im too windows centric still and just thought a clean install of the OS would help me to then install just the packages I needed and to be able to tell if it was a hardware NIC issue or if something else is conflicting | 23:04 |
| jk^ | Bashing-om, | 23:04 |
| jk^ | i installed it | 23:04 |
| jk^ | but now i can't find it in the menu | 23:04 |
| jk^ | i don't know its italian name | 23:04 |
| jk^ | it hasn't been installed with english name seahorse | 23:05 |
| tatertots | Jakethepython: you want or expect "packages" to perform the duties of "network administration or engineering"? | 23:06 |
| Bashing-om | jk^: do in termijal ' apt list seahorse ' amd pastebin that result please . | 23:08 |
| jk^ | Elencazione... Fatto | 23:10 |
| jk^ | seahorse/xenial,now 3.18.0-2ubuntu1 i386 [installato] | 23:10 |
| jk^ | user@user-HP-Compaq-nx6110-PT601ET-ABZ:~$ | 23:10 |
| Jakethepython | No | 23:12 |
| Bashing-om | jk^: That says that seahorse is installed :) | 23:12 |
| jk^ | yes | 23:13 |
| jk^ | i don't find it in the menus | 23:13 |
| jk^ | maybe it has installed with my language name | 23:13 |
| jk^ | Bashing-om, | 23:13 |
| Jakethepython | bascially i wanted to go back to 16.04 server before any other packages were installed | 23:14 |
| Bashing-om | jk^: I do not have it installed, best I can tell you is "read the manual" in this instance . do ' man seahorse ' q to quit from the manual . | 23:14 |
| jk^ | ok | 23:14 |
| jk^ | maybe | 23:14 |
| jk^ | password and keys | 23:15 |
| jk^ | i delete the default keyring that chromium tells me to create | 23:15 |
| jk^ | but when i open again chromium it ask me again to create a keyring :| | 23:15 |
| jk^ | bashing just a while, i reboot | 23:16 |
| jk^ | Bashing-om, i create the keyring that chromium ask me to create, after i delete it from "Password and keys (seahorse)" but after chromium ask me again to create the keyring when i open chromium :\ | 23:27 |
| analogical | I need to extract a bunch of rar-files is there a program that can do that in Ubuntu? | 23:27 |
| === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang | ||
| Bashing-om | jk^: Sorry, But I do not understand your end goal here . Rephrase your issue . | 23:28 |
| arktvrvs | yea, unrar | 23:28 |
| analogical | arktvrvs, I'm not familiar with unrar where can I find it? | 23:29 |
| arktvrvs | sudo apt-get install unrar | 23:29 |
| arktvrvs | then you can use whatever gui ubuntu has or you can command line with something like unrar x *.rar | 23:30 |
| jk^ | Everytime i open chromium it ask me to create a keyring/keychain | 23:30 |
| arktvrvs | jk, sounds like a chromium issue. | 23:30 |
| jk^ | i installed seahorse "Password and keys" to manage the keyring created | 23:30 |
| jk^ | so i use this app to delete the keyring created for chromium, but chromium ask me again to create keyring when i open it again | 23:31 |
| Bashing-om | jk^: Stop Prompt for Keyring? | 23:31 |
| arktvrvs | jk, unless there is a way to tell chromium not to use a keyring, you have to stop deleting it | 23:31 |
| Bashing-om | Close Chrome. Open the file manager, press ctrl+H or show hidden files from menu, go to .local/share/keyrings, move the content to some backup place. Then logout and log back in. Open Chrome, there will be a pop up asking you to set a keyring password, leave it blank, confirm, then it shouldn't bother you anymore. If everything works, you can delete the backup you saved earlier. | 23:31 |
| Vysty | I'm setting up a VPN on my system. I'm using HideMyAss VPN, and everything appears to working properly, except that my IP address isn't changing when I check it. I've read around on the internet a bit and it looks like it might be a DNS leak. How do I plug the leak? | 23:32 |
| Vysty | (Assuming that's the problem.) | 23:32 |
| arktvrvs | vysty, your ip wont 'change' you'll just get an extra one. you have to configure your system to use the vpn as your default connection | 23:33 |
| Vysty | arktvrvs: I phrased it wrong. Yes, I've gained an extra IP and my system is telling me that I've connected successfully. | 23:33 |
| Vysty | However, when I go to whatismyipaddress.com, it's still pointing to my actual address. | 23:33 |
| arktvrvs | then go into your network manager and tell it to use the vpn connection instead of your ethernet or wifi | 23:34 |
| jk^ | ok thanks Bashing-om | 23:35 |
| Bashing-om | jk^: My hope is that is the result you seek . | 23:35 |
| Vysty | arktvrvs: Let's see here... how do I do that? | 23:36 |
| Vysty | I'm int he Network settings right now. | 23:36 |
