Example usage: "/msg Alis list http" [00:04] Thanks ubottu! [00:05] RichardCavell: K; See what I can learn .. back soonest . [00:13] RichardCavell: Well, All I know to do is try . Be aware some 32 bit apps are now broken after the latest patches . unknow to me if the breakage is a part of this :( [00:15] Bashing-om, What exactly should I try? [00:17] RichardCavell: Boot to grub boot menu. 'c' key for a command line . what results here ' set prefix=(hd0,gpt1)/boot/grub ' ? [00:18] Bashing-om, I'll have to reboot and try it, and get back to you in about 15 mins [00:18] RichardCavell: K; of that is accepted we continue on to attempt to boot up from grub . [00:18] of/if* [00:19] Bashing-om, Okay so I'll just reboot and try? [00:21] ripazha: Yes .. see where we go from there .. get it booted and then we see what we can do . [00:24] s there any reasonably simple way to direct dpkg to ignore a specific dependency on a package (without recreating the package). LXD is unnecessarily depending on dnsmasq-base, a package that is frequently found to have security flaws. === noxs_ is now known as noxs [00:28] vook: `man dpkg`, --ignore-depends, etc. [00:28] vook: although, it's not unnecessary, it depends on your config [00:28] vook: for normal bridged usage, you want dnsmasq [00:28] right, it's unnecessary in our config [00:29] vook: maybe use the snap? [00:29] vook: then you don't have to worry about dependencies at all [00:29] hmm, ok. thanks. I'll look into it. [00:29] vook: presuming you trust the lxd maintainers [00:29] vook: may want to ask about dnsmasq in #lxcontainers [00:36] Bashing-om, I'm back [00:37] Bashing-om, I was able to type that into a grub command line. It simply gave me another prompt without any error or other output. I then tried to boot, but it had the same problem as before. [00:37] RichardCavell: Can we continue to see if we can boot .. in that 'set prefix=(hd0,gpt6)/boot/grub" is accepted ? [00:37] I used gpt1 before not gpt6 [00:38] do you want me to try with 6? [00:43] RichardCavell: Great .. we can continue .. ok .. boot back to grub ' set prefix=(hd0,gpt1)/boot/grub ; set root=(hd0,gpt2) ; insmod normal ; normal ; insmod linux ; linux (hd0,gpt2)/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda2 ; initrd (hd0,gpt2)/initrd.img ; boot ' . [00:44] RichardCavell: No, our partitions are gpt1 as the edi partition and gpt2 as the root . [00:44] EFI* [00:46] Bashing-om, By the way, that first partition is only 1 megabyte in size [00:46] I don't know where it came from [00:47] RichardCavell: That is the EFI partiton that contains stage 1.5 of the boot code . [00:47] Is it normal for it to be only 1 megabyte? [00:48] RichardCavell: Yeah .. good nuff ..it only has directives of where grub is to look next . === lynn_ is now known as gryphon [01:08] Hey there all, I'm brand new to Linux and I've been setting up a Ubuntu server. Had a simple question regarding SSH keys, just not fully understanding it. Anyone have a moment to talk? [01:09] Haximus, Go ahead and ask the quetion [01:09] Haximus, If someone knows the answer they will help. :-) [01:12] Excellent! I was following along some documentation suggesting that I use SSH authentication to access my server instead of Password authorization, I later realized that I misunderstood what I read, because I generated the key pair from the actual server and not from my desktop that I am using to access my terminal [01:14] So now I want to correct the mistake, but I am not sure if I should generate another key pair from the terminal on my desktop pc, and also I am curious if the fact that I generated the keypair from the server itself will cause any issues, and if I should remove it [01:15] I am unable to login from my desktop pc, so I had to re-enable password authentication for the time being [01:16] Bashing-om, Hi [01:16] Haximus, I don't remember ever having to generate the key pair. If I remember correctly I just ran: sudo apt-get install openssh-server [01:17] I tried that sequence. It booted for about 8 seconds and then just sudden reset like before [01:17] I couldn't see any errors in the boot sequence [01:17] Its not a requirement, its just apparently more secure [01:17] Haximus, when I set my server up several years ago, this link helped when I had key problems. I might help you, not sure http://www.howtogeek.com/168147/add-public-ssh-key-to-remote-server-in-a-single-command/ [01:17] Haximus, And then used sudo service ssh status to check the status of the ssh server [01:17] It* [01:19] RichardCavell: Ouch . Sorry. I just do not know enough to procecute this further . [01:21] Bashing-om, How about this? I zip up the /home/richard directory from the internal hard disk, then wipe and install a new distro over the top, then unzip /home/richard. Sound good [01:21] ? [01:23] RichardCavell: Well. should be good to get you back up .. yes .. But does not tell us why/where the failure lies . [01:25] Bashing-om, Is it generally the case that zipping/unzipping one's home directory is enough to salvage everything that's important? [01:26] (All my important data is safe, don't worry) [01:28] RichardCavell: Depends on what changes you have made to the default install system files . Me, all I backup is my personal data and I keep a change log of all changes I make . ( rsync -aiv --exclude=".*" /home/sysop/ /media/sysop/8023-774F/storage/ ) [01:33] evening folks [01:36] how can I delete all of the contents of my /home/user/.ssh directory? [01:39] NVM, think I got it [01:40] Haximus, rm -rf /home/usr/.ssh/* will nuke everything in the directory. if you want to keep interior directories forget the 'r' [01:41] ok, I used rm /home/usr/.ssh/* before you said that [01:41] is that just as efficient? [01:41] I ran ls -al ~/.ssh and it all seems to be cleared [01:42] Haximus, for that directory unless u did something goofy ya should be fine. /usr/.ssh likely doesnt have any interior directories or hidden files. if you did have hidden files we have to tweak even what i sent you a little. but if ls -la shows it cleared then you should be good [01:43] Thank you for your help, much appreciated! [01:43] anytime my freind [01:43] ok my turn now ha [01:43] running ubuntu mate 16.04.3, amd64. recently upgraded to kernel 4.13.0-26 and now many things lock up, most often is caja. system is completely unusable. if i boot into a prior kernel the machine runs perfectly. any thoughts? or whats an easy way to down grade the kernel without bocking new update [01:46] i mean i could just uninstall the kernel and purge and the linux-image... however the next update should grab it again and i dont want that. anyway to do what would be the equivalent of a 'mask' in gentoo? whereby you just block a set version or range of versions on a package? [01:47] Ill get back to you in a couple years :-/ [01:47] Haximus, haha it comes way faster than u think :) [01:47] Fretegi: normal package updates don't update the kernel [01:48] only if you'd specifically tell it to dist-upgrade [01:48] would it pull the kernel image too [01:48] mutante, apt-get dist-upgrade does though. [01:48] well, then don't run that ? [01:48] mutante, right, and i would like to keep latest kernels [01:49] eh, ok, then i'm confused what the desired result was.. newer kernel or no newer kernel [01:49] mutante, let me rephrase... i would like to have current kernels, however skip this current broken one [01:49] got it, well.. just wait until there is a "next" one [01:49] Fretegi: How about setting the prior booting kernel in the /etc/default/grub config file ? [01:49] so when the next one comes out i wont get prompted until it supersedes his broken one [01:50] Bashing-om, that would work, just make the 4.10 kernel default. although admittedly im not sure how to accomplish that in ubuntu [01:51] Bashing-om, edit the GRUB_DEFAULT line? [01:52] make it 1 perhaps? [01:52] Fretegi: this line ' GRUB_DEFAULT=0 ' change the zero to the line number of the kernel ya want booted ( as shown in grub's boot menu ) .. then run ' sudo update-grub ' to propagate the change . [01:52] ha ok, makes sense [01:53] course... suppose to mutante's point.. guess i could just uninstall the darn thing and just not upgrade until i see a release higher than this broken one... [01:54] just wanted apt-get to sort it out and not tell me until there was a newer one :) [01:55] Fretegi: Yup. either will work . I think editing grub to boot is the more sane thing myself . [01:56] lsls [01:56] lsls [01:56] clear [01:56] clar [01:56] clear [01:56] motherfufc [01:57] Bashing-om, so to be clear, when setting the value for Grub_default, thats counting recovery boot option lines as well right [01:58] Fretegi: Yeah .. as you can surmise the count starts at 0 . [02:00] hreinnbeck: take a look at /boot/grub/grub.cfg for the boot order too . [02:02] brb [02:10] Count off [02:10] can I have aptitude autp update? [02:15] Bashing-om, ok got it [02:15] couldnt get grub to cooperate so i just wiped that kernel version heck with it [02:16] Fretegi: K. What works best for you :) [02:16] What's the Ubuntu equivalent of /dev/ttyUSB0 ? [02:34] nevermind, I had to plug the thing in before /dev/ttyUSB0 showed up === gerald is now known as Guest39509 [02:37] *** F27-20180112 updated lives available: http://tinyurl.com/Live-respins2 Built by the Fedora Respin Sig more info #fedora-respins *** [02:42] Greetings....running 17.10, wondering if I can setup a resolver file for a particular search domain without just disabling systemd-resolved?

Once in a while, when I watch something, the playback hangs as if the NFS server stopped transmitting. I'm not sure what's going on so I checked /var/log/syslog, but I couldn't see anything around the time the issue happened. Is there anywhere else I can look on the server? [03:33] Does it hang outside of kodi? That seems like more of a kodi issue from the light search on forum.kodi.tv I did [03:38] Test [03:47] I am attempting to install Ubuntu so that I can dual boot. Win10 is already installed. I am new to linux and would rather NOT unintentionally overwrite Windows. Does ubuntu ask for the language first or for the partition setup? [03:51] anyone have any scripting knowledge in here? [03:53] im trying to put together a script that runs xscreensaver, and if it gets deactivated, runs it again. but i dont want it to run in a loopm, since it prints messages on the screen saying something along the lines of "xscreensaver was activated while it was already running". i dont want it to print messages on the screen, just want it to run and rerun if deactivated. i want it to run until i tell it to stop. [03:54] I created a USB installer for Ubuntu Server. It takes me directly to installation. How can I get to the terminal prior to installation? [03:57] ^ ignore the previous question [03:58] Question: I created live USB of Ubuntu Desktop. However, is there a way I can install Ubuntu Server instead of Ubuntu Desktop if I am using Ubuntu Desktop live USB [04:02] Zythyr, sudo apt-get update [04:02] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-server [04:02] So I just do that from terminal? [04:03] yep [04:03] then i think you choose it from the login menu before you login [04:04] you can also do it like this.. [04:04] Yes Ubuntu desktop can become server by installing following packages [04:04] LAMP server (Linux, Apache2, MySQL, PHP), Mail server & OpenSSH server [04:05] glitchd That simple? Is that the only difference? [04:06] as far as im finding with all this google-fu im doing [04:06] but ive done it in the past [04:06] converted a normal ubunut installation to a server edition installation [04:06] using those commands [04:06] After installing LAMP server, I can disable Deskto GUI. But will this be a true server that doesn't comsume as much power as a Desktop? [04:06] thats the only real difference between normal ubuntu and ubuntu-server [04:07] im not sure about your last question [04:09] okay. I think I just found my way around Ubuntu Server, so I guess I'll just isntall Server using Server USB instead of Desktop USB. It was a littel confusing at first configuring the partitions, but now got it working [04:09] GIGeoGamer: Here is a run-through to the installation: https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-install-ubuntu-desktop#0 [04:10] You could disable the display manager service with systemctl for example if your display manager is lightdm the run sudo systemctl disable lightdm.service. This will prevent the service from starting at boot. [04:10] Zythyr, ^^ [04:15] hola [04:16] Now when I click on install Ubuntu it shows a black screen with a bunch of greenish font size rectangles then shows some white text that isn't full visible due to resolution I assume. Then after a few seconds I get a 2/3's purple screen with a black strip at the top. All of which has some white lines and dot's on it that look like squished text. [04:17] hola [04:17] ares__: hola [04:17] hola de donde eres [04:22] GIGeoGamer, question?

[04:31] ok muchas gracias amigo se lo agradesco mucho [04:33] glitchyd How do I go about fixing this? I installed ubuntu on my laptop the otherday no problems. My desktop isn't being cooperative though [04:33] GIGeoGamer, what errors are you getting? [04:34] GIGeoGamer, also what version of ubuntu? [04:35] hello [04:36] anyone here [04:36] Ubuntu 16.04. When I click install it shows the screen I mentioned above^ the white text says a few things. failed to create kernel channel, and then some base-x timeouts. Again I am new to this so not sure. After a few seconds on that screen it moves me to the second screen where it is stuck until I force power off [04:37] It does the same thing if I click on try without installing [04:37] your trying to install ubuntu from a live usb? [04:37] Yes [04:38] i think you need to make the usb again [04:38] probably a bad write [04:38] what did you use to make the usb? [04:38] That is the strange part. For some reason I was getting this error, then something I changed made it work, now its not working again. I used rufus (Same thing I used to make the boot stick for my laptop) [04:39] hmm... [04:39] i would suggest making a new usb [04:39] Also [04:40] When I say "made it work" I mean I was able to get to the installer but the resolution was horrible. The bottom of all the buttons at the bottom of the installer were cut off [04:40] Not sure if that is normal however it may be worth mentioning I have a dedicated nvdia gfx card. I hear that sometimes causes issues? [04:40] sounds like your resolution was incorrect for you display [04:41] when you boot the usb, does it go to a menu, or does it boot straight to the ubuntu desktop? [04:42] It lets me choose try, install, oem or something. Then when I click on try OR install it does the things mentioned above. [04:42] Recreating the usb right now [04:42] ok [04:43] Hey guys, setting up a webserver on a dynamic public IP, and Im planning on using No-IP Dynamic Update client to resolve my address to a hostname while keeping it updated.

For simplicitys sake lets just say I want to start a web browser on bootup [10:32] add it to startup applications? [10:33] oh lol [10:33] on boot would be different than after login.. a browser does not work on boot [10:34] right, well, after login sounds great [10:36] hmmm, seems that nl.archive.ubuntu.com is unreachable.... stuck on "waiting for headers" [10:36] from multiple different locations [10:38] glad I asked here first, I was googling how to start on boot :p [10:38] wouldn't have worked anyways [10:40] lastebill, have fun! [10:40] hello guys [10:41] do you know by any chance why some icons are missing from my system tray in ubuntu 14.04 with unity [10:41] as far as I know blacklisting systray icons are removed feature so there is nothing do with dconf [10:42] for instance xchat is missing and utox is not showing [10:42] in gnome shell I can see 'em [10:43] xchat .. don' t use that, is unmaintained, use the supported fork, hexchat [10:44] icons missing .. sudo dconf reset -f /org/compiz/ && setsid unity # and logout/login [10:44] if so the icon is not there if start them from terminal I don't see any output saying anything so unity has to keep them unseen [10:45] if that does not solve, rm -rf ~/.config [10:45] ok I'll try that [10:45] nah... [10:45] ( ugly, but working for me ) [10:45] not gonna delete the whole .config [10:45] from fresh install they wasn't there [10:46] unity --reset-icons && setsid unity [10:47] is it possible to use bluetooth headphones with alsa?
