[00:40] <diskLess2> Hello.  I am trying to follow this link, yet... I don't understnad *how* I add this Oracle PPA to my system.   Link --> https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2382314
[00:40] <diskLess2> Everything I read says to add the PPA name.. yet I don't know the name, what I have is the URL... and I believe that is not the way to add a PPA
[00:47] <theorem> curious -- if I upgraded to Ubuntu 17.10, and now I can't see a GUI login -- where do I need to start looking ?  I have to switch to an emergency term (alt+F2) to use the computer -- but it's otherwise up.
[00:48] <theorem> ah, hmm, looks like syslog
[00:49] <Bashing-om> theorem: Broken graphic's driver ? What shows ' sudo lshw -C display ' .
[00:49] <theorem> checking ..
[00:49] <theorem> looks like it picked it up
[00:50] <theorem> I am seeing X errors -- hang on going to have to type this out ...
[00:50] <Bashing-om> !paste | theorem
[00:50] <elitedev> quit
[00:51] <diskLess2> Can somebody please shed some light into my PPA question?  I am reading up on the topic, yet can't make head or tails around it.
[00:52] <theorem> "Failed to get current display configuration state" ... 'GDBus.Error :org.freedesktop.DBus.Error..NameHasNoOwner: Name: "org.gnome.Mutter.DisplayConfig" does not exist'
[00:52] <theorem> not a paste -- copied visually.
[00:55] <theorem> also .. "XF86RFKill is not a valid accelerator"
[00:56] <Bashing-om> theorem: mutter I think == wayland DE .. you using nvidia for the graphics ? Have you tried the Xorg session ?
[00:57] <theorem> Bashing-om: using an AMD Radeon card
[00:58] <theorem> Bashing-om: the error message in syslog reports a bunch of "resource temporarily unavailable on X server :0"
[00:58] <theorem> how can I try the X session ?
[00:59] <theorem> oh .. this is pointing me at the X server logs ...  let's see ...
[01:00] <Bashing-om> theorem: Humm ... Giess we can look at what the gpu-manager has to say : ' cat /var/log/gpu-manager.log | nc termbin.com 9999 ' and pass the resulting link back here .
[01:01] <theorem> Bashing-om: clever trick , I'll give that a go.
[01:02] <theorem> Bashing-om: www.termbin.com/34ec
[01:02] <CheetahPixie> Good evening, folks.
[01:02] <CheetahPixie> I'm here on Unity, and I encountered some pretty weird breakage.
[01:03] <CheetahPixie> I can use ctrl+arrows to switch workspaces horizontally, and not vertically.
[01:03] <CheetahPixie> What's up with that?
[01:03] <theorem> CheetahPixie: sounds like a bad keyboard mapping.
[01:03] <theorem> does changing the shortcut mapping fix it ?
[01:04] <theorem> Bashing-om: the log there lookgs pretty benign ..
[01:04] <CheetahPixie> I have no idea where that stuff even is.
[01:04] <CheetahPixie> theorem
[01:04] <CheetahPixie> It definitely is a keymap *somewhere* gone haywire.
[01:04] <CheetahPixie> It's I believe the only issue that I have.
[01:05] <CheetahPixie> I've been trying to look for these keybinds.
[01:05] <CheetahPixie> Unity Tweak Tool and Compizconfig can't find them.
[01:05] <theorem> CheetahPixie: check the system in the upper right hand corner -- system settings has some of it.
[01:05] <CheetahPixie> Another oddity: My workspaces wrap.
[01:06] <CheetahPixie> Where would that be here?
[01:06] <Bashing-om> theorem: We;;, we do have a mystery here " Kernel Module is not loaded" . is it available ' lsmod | grep amdgpu ' .
[01:06] <CheetahPixie> hmm
[01:06] <CheetahPixie> yeah
[01:07] <CheetahPixie> something is weird about these binds, for sure
[01:07] <kenrin> So check your shortcuts and fix them
[01:07] <theorem> Bashing-om: yes, it's loaded
[01:08] <CheetahPixie> For some reason, the keys to move a window up and down a workspace were bound to shift+super+page#.
[01:08] <theorem> Bashing-om: now .. I am reading the X logs, want to look at those too ? one thing to mention I do have 2 mice attached.
[01:08] <CheetahPixie> ...whereas it should be shift+ctrl+alt+arrow
[01:08] <CheetahPixie> yup
[01:08] <CheetahPixie> super+page# for workspaces up and down
[01:08] <Bashing-om> theorem: K. what card do you have ;' lspci -vnn | grep -i VGA ' .
[01:09] <CheetahPixie> works now, thanks sir theorem
[01:09] <theorem> CheetahPixie: great !
[01:09] <theorem> checking ...
[01:09] <CheetahPixie> So far, I have found I believe three things that seem to be missing/broken about installing Unity on 17.10.
[01:10] <CheetahPixie> This was one of the,.þ
[01:10] <CheetahPixie> This was one of them.
[01:10] <theorem> Bashing-om: yes, it's detected, however, the GPU version detected is not the version of the GPU I have -- it detects a Radeon 470/480 , but I have a 580.
[01:11] <CheetahPixie> So, essentially.
[01:11] <theorem> Bashing-om: termbin.com/1zwh
[01:11] <CheetahPixie> For full Unity on 17.10, there are some components missing.
[01:11] <theorem> ^ for X
[01:11] <CheetahPixie> notify-osd is one of them, and I believe Rhythmbox was another, but not sure.
[01:11] <CheetahPixie> The second "gripe" I have is that its buttons are not showing up in the volume menu by default; I have to open the player first.
[01:11] <CheetahPixie> Never had to on 17.04 and previously.
[01:12] <CheetahPixie> The third issue: This. Keybinds.
[01:12] <Bashing-om> theorem: I be a while reading that log file .
[01:13] <CheetahPixie> Thanks guys, I will be seeing you around.
[01:14] <theorem> Bashing-om: not to worry, it's a quick skim.
[01:15] <theorem> Bashing-om: "adding input device" ... there are 2 errors there which might be a red herring
[01:16] <kenrin> Is there like a guide on how to use the installations partition tool?  I don't see a way to remove|create LVM
[01:17] <salamandyr> i just purchased a dell XPS 9370 (win version) and want to wipe it out and configure it as the same machine comes from dell in Developer Edition, with their version of Ubuntu.. any idea if the images or installers are available for nonstandard versions of Ubuntu like that?
[01:19] <R0b0t1> So after upgrading to 17.10, my installation immediately shuts down after booting it
[01:19] <R0b0t1> Hopefully someone can help
[01:19] <theorem> salamandyr: due to licensing restrictions they will need to distribute the customizations available publicly.  This may or may not be on their website somewhere.
[01:19] <R0b0t1> I found similar questions about 16.10(?) related to WiFi, and this may be a regression; for some reason my server tries to start WiFi
[01:19] <salamandyr> thanks theorem
[01:19] <R0b0t1> I'm just going to point out
[01:19] <R0b0t1> This is >10 years and over 4 dist-upgrades that have never worked
[01:20] <theorem> R0b0t1: I am fighting with 17.10 too.
[01:21] <theorem> R0b0t1: try liveCD booting to modify the network settings ?  I find that incredibly strange for an immediate shutdown due to wifi.
[01:21] <R0b0t1> Yeah, I suppose I can try that
[01:21] <kenrin> Well I'm lost,  I'll just do the partitions via livecd before install
[01:23] <theorem> kenrin: normall installs today grab the entire disk.  why the need for LVM ?
[01:23] <kenrin> I have two disks and want to encrypt only one of them
[01:24] <theorem> got it.
[01:24] <kenrin> The installer doesn't even let me remove the previous LVM mounts
[01:24] <theorem> it's probably very dumb.
[01:24] <theorem> switch to emergency term ?  alt + F4  ?
[01:25] <Jordan_U> salamandyr: I've found https://www.dell.com/support/article/us/en/19/sln265886/how-to-create-a-dell-ubuntu-image-on-your-dell-pc?lang=en from a quick search, but I have no experience with it personally. If it were me, I would just install unmodified upstream Ubuntu. Note also that even if you have the same "model" of laptop, it may come with slightly different components than the developer edition.
[01:25] <theorem> Bashing-om: any hints ?  The X log I saw there doesn't help me :-/
[01:25] <salamandyr> looks like i can generate the right iso download for a particular Dell here http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/drivers/osiso/linux
[01:26] <salamandyr> will prob do that Jordan_U, thanks
[01:26] <Jordan_U> salamandyr: You're welcome.
[01:29] <Bashing-om> theorem: X from the log appears happy as can be . What results when you log into the guest account ?
[01:30] <theorem> Bashing-om: I am unable to see a GUI login at all
[01:30] <theorem> do you want my syslog to see the errors ?  that seems to be the most telling
[01:31] <theorem> it's weird that gpu-manager.log reports that the module is not loaded too.
[01:31] <kenrin> Oh that is fun,  I got the force UEFI installation message then the installer crashed
[01:32] <theorem> Bashing-om: I am on 4 different terms , outside of X at the moment. (alt+F#-ing around)
[01:36] <theorem> Bashing-om: sending the last 13500 lines .. hang on ..
[01:37] <selabs> join #litecoin
[01:37] <theorem> sell #litecoin
[01:41] <theorem> Bashing-om: termbin.com/qi6g
[01:42] <kenrin> I tried the installer again,  I can't get past the force UEFI message.  I must be doing something wrong
[01:42] <theorem> where does one configure the windowmanager ?
[01:42] <theorem> .xconfig ?
[01:51] <Bashing-om> theorem: reading.
[01:52] <theorem_> ugh
[01:53] <theorem> so when I do a "startx"
[01:53] <theorem> I get a black screen
[01:53] <theorem> I see the mouse flicker for a moment
[01:53] <theorem> then it's all black , and I can't exit what I believe is X
[01:54] <theorem> even Ctrl+Alt+Backspace doesn't work.
[01:54] <Jordan_U> theorem: Can you switch away with ctrl+alt+F3?
[01:55] <theorem> Jordan_U: nope, locked in there
[01:55] <theorem> I don't know if I have logs from the session, had to hard reboot
[01:55] <Jordan_U> theorem: Can you ssh into the machine?
[01:56] <Jordan_U> theorem: Enable sysrq magic so that you can use things like alt+sysrq+k in the future.
[01:56] <Jordan_U> !sysrq | theorem
[01:56] <theorem> never heard of this, ok.
[01:58] <theorem> is there any way to get startx to output some detail to logs ?
[02:00] <strive> theorem: Just redirect the output to a file.
[02:01] <strive> theorem: startx > $HOME/startx.log 2>&1
[02:01] <theorem> got it.
[02:01] <theorem> thanks, trying that
[02:03] <theorem> looks like it just hangs.
[02:03] <theorem> yep, just sits on the terminal -- no output , and logs are empty.
[02:03] <theorem> 0% CPU
[02:05] <theorem> got it .. reached a timeout.  "Only console users are allowed to run the X server"  .. "xinit: giving up"   going to try with sudo ..
[02:05] <Bashing-om> theorem: NO !
[02:05] <strive> Don't run it as root.
[02:06] <Bashing-om> theorem: sudo with invalid startx command then root owns your home !
[02:09] <theorem> ah -- can you repeat that , I had it running as root, but the same freeze occured.
[02:09] <theorem> I briefly saw a "NO!"
[02:09] <theorem> as I tried to kill the process from another terminal
[02:09] <theorem> but it was too late.
[02:10] <Bashing-om> theorem: < Bashing-om> theorem: sudo with invalid startx command then root owns your home ! // and now we got to fix .
[02:10] <theorem> ah.
[02:10] <theorem> looks like ... .Xauthority
[02:11] <Gonzalez> I swear i must be the only person that can use IE and not get all that crap. I bet its because i know not press the X button on a popup...Yeah i bet thats it. Oh and i dont go to a warez sites like an idiot.

[02:11] <Baghawi> I'm not perfect in english, but I was on college forums when I was in college, and you wouldn't have lasted two minutes with anyone with your kiddy type gibberish.

[02:11] <kenrin> I found a bug report for that frozen UEFI message and did a workaround.  I still can't believe a bug that serious is still open 3+ years later though
[02:12] <eoppkweguggca> Anyone who says "F/OSS" is a tool.  Free software hates Open Source because Open Source is the little sell out movement that doesn't give a fuck about the ideals.   It's like True vs. Nu metal. Stop associating Free Software even remotely with Open Source because those of us in the Free Software movement probably hate you.
[02:12] <Gonzalez> Hmm, are you implying that people with long hair are gay? That's pretty hilarious if so, seeing as how most gay people have basic short hair.
[02:12] <Zachary> what is the point of gay marriage ? marriage as an institution exists to keep people who don't love each other together for the benefit of their offspring . why do gays want this?
[02:12] <strive> That's a lot of support in a matter of seconds...
[02:12] <Sartore> whistle core is actually popular in japan it caught quite well and know where seeing various new whistle core bands come out of the country like the blue mist dogs, fire in the attic, lazor beem, robo boy vs the laviathan and various others its just a matter of time till they hit the charts here

[02:12] <Gonzalez> My friend, I bet you haven't read the terms and conditions for this forum.... Take cover, you are about to be flamed!
[02:12] <Zachary> For instance: throughout all of my time in elementary school there was this one kid who would go to the bathroom so he could poop. But he had a phobia of water splashing up his crack or something like that. I say this because he would go into the stall, take down his pants, and while still standing, proceed to shit on the floor right in front of the toilet. It was weird when you would go to the bathroom and you would see a burgundy loaf on the floor of the 
[02:12] <Gonzalez> Can anyone tell me how many times these high and mighty evolution scientists have already backpedalled and changed their version of the truth to fit some new finding? I've already lost the count... pathetic, really.

[02:12] <Baghawi> Hey /b/, I have a very serious problem. I'm fucking crying because of how stupid I am.Okay, so my girlfriend was supposed to come over to my house today because I was going to go take her to a movie. She lives about 20 minutes away, and the movie we were supposed to see started at 4:15, which was in about 40 minutes. I figured "cool, I'll just play Pokemon while I wait".So I'm playing Pokemon, and having a pretty damn good time. Anyway, she finally does sho
[02:12] <Sartore> Again and again and again, I grow weary of junior high school English teachers trying to correct people's speech only because they encounter language forms they aren't familiar with. For the love of Mary, face it! Your English is only good enough to teach the average Mexican or Cambodian refugee to put together three-syllable words into coherent sentences used to beg for money, alcohol, drugs or shelter. Stop pretending you know English better than God and

[02:12] <Baghawi> that is the nerdiest thing i have ever seen aside from my girlfriend and i wearing matching firefox tshirts
[02:12] <Gonzalez> The Fart Fantasy: Expel your gas, I deeply inhale.  The fresh fart from an athletic male.  Ohhh yes it's good, sweet and pungent. An aromatic fecal luncheon! with delicate bouquet and wispy taste, this fart's among the best I've faced.  Your nose wrinkled in abject disgust?  Oh no, it's good.  Try it--you must! Farts are nature's true delight. If you want some, theres no need to fight! Form a line right at my ass. Just wait for me to
[02:13] <Sartore> one time i tried to stick an egg back into a chicken, i think it gave the chicken an orgasm because all this liquid came out all over my hands and the chicken started to squawk and flap its wings. maybe im weird but this was a major turn-on!
[02:13] <Gonzalez> Dr. Huxtable broke into the clinic and held me at gunpoint. I was his patient, in for my yearly pap smear. I couldn't believe it when he came in the door for the exam with a machete in his hands. He demanded that I take off my clothes, and begin to fellate him. He waved the machete around like a madman, so i complied. I was forced, at knife point, to take his entire penis into my mouth. Then I rubbed my clit and got off ohh yeah

[02:22] <R0b0t1> Hello where are boot logs
[02:22] <R0b0t1> I am trying to figure out why a server shuts down as soon as it is up

[02:22] <theorem> R0b0t1: dmesg
[02:22] <theorem> R0b0t1: or /var/log/syslog
[02:23] <theorem> shutdown like that is usually attributed to a bad PSU , or the CPU is too hot.

[02:24] <Jordan_U> R0b0t1: journalctl (dmesg will only give you the current boot's dmesg and journalctl gives, IMHO, a better presentation of previous boot's data, along with options for grabbing specific log data).
[02:24] <kenrin> memory issues do that too
[02:24] <Jordan_U> (Than /var/log/syslog)
[02:24] <kenrin> Although usually they just kernel panic

[02:34] <R0b0t1> /var/log/syslog exists
[02:34] <Jordan_U> R0b0t1: OK. If you want a persistant systemd journal then you need to create that directory. If you're happy with /var/log/syslog you can leave things as-is.
[02:34] <R0b0t1> The last thing is "stopped getty on tty1" and then "started getty on tty1"
[02:35] <R0b0t1> Do I need to create it
[02:35] <R0b0t1> I can't find any relevant info
[02:38] <Jordan_U> R0b0t1: I would recommend doing so, by running "sudo mkdir /var/log/journal && sudo systemd-tmpfiles --create --prefix /var/log/journal && systemctl restart systemd-journald". That said, doing so won't (directly) help you out of this particular problem.
[02:39] <R0b0t1> Ok
[02:39] <R0b0t1> I'll look next time it sotps
[02:39] <R0b0t1> stops

[02:56] <theorem> Bashing-om: could the run as root before have tripped things up ?  how does one recover from trying to run startx as root (sudo)
[02:56] <Bashing-om> Julien-zte: systemd ? see :  ' man hostnamectl ' in terminal .
[02:59] <knapptime|home> oh dang i figured it out, apparently my laptop has an accelerometer!
[02:59] <Bashing-om> theorem: depends on what all got changed . what shows ' ls -al /home/<user_name>/ ' ?
[03:00] <theorem> I have a bunch of stuff there
[03:00] <theorem> how about I grp for root ?
[03:00] <theorem> *grep
[03:03] <Bashing-om> theorem: The only file that "should be "root owned" : drwxr-xr-x  3 root  root    4096 Oct 16  2016 ..
[03:04] <SkaMan814> Hi all, has anyone heard of an Asus A88X-PLUS, with bios version 2901, recognizing usb drives but not listing them under the boot options?
[03:04] <theorem> Bashing-om: https://pastebin.com/yuTjCGnJ
[03:06] <diego_> hola
[03:06] <diego_> hola
[03:07] <marioxcc> Hello.
[03:07] <diego_> como vas
[03:07] <marioxcc> How is the “root” kernel parameter passed by GRUB interpreted?
[03:07] <diego_> como?
[03:07] <theorem> Bashing-om: so , should I chown -R those root owned directories ?
[03:08] <marioxcc> The documentation I was able to find says that it is the root filesystem, but on the other hand, it says that the initrd is the root filesystem. Which one is true?
[03:08] <Bashing-om> theorem: ouch . try ' sudo chmod -R a+rwX,o-w /home/$USER ' I have no idea of what "AMDAPPSDK-3.0" is, but sure can not be good for the default AMD driver .
[03:10] <chand_> hi
[03:10] <theorem> Bashing-om: don't I need a chown in there ?
[03:11] <Jordan_U> marioxcc: During early boot the initramfs is used as the root filesystem. It contains useful userland utilities for finding and mounting the real root. After the real root is found and mounted (IIRC to /root/, not that it matters) the pivot_root command is used to make the real root filesystem be used rather than the temporary initramfs.
[03:13] <marioxcc> Jordan_U: Ok, thanks for answering but I already know that. My question is, if the root filesystem is initially the contents of the initrd, then what is the role of “root=...”?
[03:13] <theorem> Bashing-om: going to change .gvfs because I think it's related to $USER:$USER owned.
[03:13] <marioxcc> Is it simlpy ignored by Linux (the kernel) and passed to /bin/init?
[03:13] <theorem> brb , rebooting
[03:14] <Bashing-om> theorem: In this instance cjown is not good enough . Setting octal is the better practice . this sets All directories will be 775. and All files will be 664 except those that were set as executable to begin with.
[03:14] <Jordan_U> marioxcc: The initramfs scripts parse the kernel parameters from /proc/cmdline, extract the UUID from the root=UUID=foo kernel parameter, then mount the partition containing the filesystem with that UUID to /root/, then pivot_root to /root/.
[03:15] <marioxcc> Jordan_U: Ok, so, are you implying that, the kernel itself does not interpret “root=” when using an initrd?
[03:15] <Jordan_U> marioxcc: Correct.
[03:15] <marioxcc> Jordan_U: Alright; thanks; that is what I wanted to know.
[03:15] <Jordan_U> marioxcc: You're welcome.
[03:16] <theorem> no dice , same issue with the permissions change
[03:18] <theorem> seems related : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/1274013
[03:21] <SkaMan814> why does a bios need a favorites tab, lol (rhetorical question)
[03:21] <theorem> overclocking ?
[03:23] <SkaMan814> ya, that's what I figured.  I've been trying to get this mobo to boot my usb for 2 hours now, and thought "who the hell would want to spend this much time dealing with BIOS, that they have a favorites tab?"
[03:25] <SkaMan814> so, anyone ever heard of a flash drive being recognized under the bios usb configuration menu but not under the boot priority menu???
[03:26] <theorem> SkaMan814: yes, it sounds like your USB drive is not bootable.  the partition needs a boot flag set.
[03:27] <theorem> https://superuser.com/questions/1099139/set-bootable-flag-on-usb-from-windows
[03:28] <SkaMan814> theorem, you just may be a genius!
[03:28] <SkaMan814> ty
[03:33] <SkaMan814> well theorem, that post doesn't actually address the issue.  I'll check the usb on gparted to see if the boot flag is set on the stick.
[03:33] <theorem> SkaMan814: yep, do that
[03:33] <theorem> also, Bashing-om -- good news !  I got it fixed !
[03:34] <theorem> I have to use the AMD provided drivers.
[03:34] <Bashing-om> theorem: tell more :)
[03:34] <theorem> the Ubuntu provided drivers do not function.
[03:35] <theorem> Bashing-om: so it seems that when I upgraded I also upgraded the kernel, and there are some installation steps that associate/build some dependencies for the kernel with the proprietary drivers.  these needed to be recompiled/re-associated wit hthe new kernel before things worked.
[03:37] <SkaMan814> theorem, the boot flag is / was set.  Any other suggestions?
[03:37] <Bashing-om> theorem: Yup - proprietary drivers do break ,
[03:42] <Jordan_U> SkaMan814: How did you prepare this USB drive to be bootable?
[03:43] <lapion> hmm apparantly shim-signed depends on shim however shim and shim signed are mutually exclusive according to the dependancy check
[03:45] <sadtaco> when I need the full path, how do I execute something like "./file" when not in that directory?  I'm trying to execute it as a service.
[03:45] <Jordan_U> lapion: According to what dependency check? What command are you running? Please pastebin its complete output.
[03:46] <SkaMan814> Jordan_U, I used the Universal USB Installer (running on my brother's windows machine.) I'm actually trying to intall Tails on a USB, and that's the program their site recommends to prepare the USB.
[03:46] <lapion> this is in aptitude
[03:46] <SkaMan814> Every other bios I've worked with will at least recognize the usb and list it as a boot option, even if there's no OS on it.
[03:46] <Jordan_U> sadtaco: Just provide the path. For example "/path/to/file" will work as will a relative path of "to/file" (if the current directory in this example as "/path/".
[03:47] <SkaMan814> I'm going to try and update the bios, but we'll see if I can do that without a USB stick, lol
[03:47] <sadtaco> when I do /path/to/file as the command then it is missing configuration and stuff that is in its folder.
[03:47] <lapion> after installing hwe apparantly shim-signed is not welcome anymore
[03:47] <sadtaco> And doesn't run as I'd intend
[03:48] <S31Y4> hello
[03:48] <S31Y4> Goblod
[03:48] <Jordan_U> sadtaco: What program are you trying to start? Please pastebin your systemd service file (assuming you're creating a systemd service).
[03:48] <S31Y4> Wtf
[03:49] <lapion> apt-get also remove shim signed
[03:50] <Jordan_U> lapion: Please pastebin the output of "sudo apt install shim-signed".
[03:51] <sadtaco> It's a miner. And bleh I'm not on that machine but basically it's ExecStart="/home/user/Zec Miner/miner" where miner is the executable. In its folder is a config that is only loading when running ./miner from that folder.
[03:52] <Quenz> In Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 LTS, using GPU driver nvidia-340, when clicking the Activities button to bring up the Activities Overview, a green glitchy bar at the bottom makes appears and disappears, especially when moving the mouse around different GUI elements.
[03:52] <sadtaco> Maybe setting WorkingDirectory to "/home/user/Zec Miner/" would help but I thought there was some other way around this that I should be aware of
[03:53] <Jordan_U> sadtaco: Not unless Zec Miner has a parameter you can pass it to tell it where its files are.
[03:54] <lapion> Jordan_U, I did bot apt install shim-signed and apt install shim-signed shim https://pastebin.com/PGxGSBPa
[03:56] <sadtaco> I read the man for WorkingDirectory but I don't quite get how it works.  If I had it set to "/home/user/Zec Miner/" then would my ExecStart just be "./miner"?
[03:56] <Jordan_U> lapion: "you have held broken packages" do you have any held packages?
[03:56] <lapion> Jordan_U, no
[03:58] <sadtaco> ah I think I know what to do
[03:58] <lapion> iat least aptitude cannot find broken
[03:59] <drunktard32> what does "mount -t proc proc /proc" do?
[03:59] <jonny_b> I installed Ubuntu 17.10 in dual boot with Windows 10, but GRUB doesn't show at boot.
[04:00] <lapion> Jordan_U, how can I detect any holds ?
[04:03] <lapion> better said how can i get apt to show me if any packages have been held
[04:04] <Deihmos> just heard about this. https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/c50ICdTc/Capture.JPG
[04:12] <sadtaco> I got it. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, Jordan

[07:50] <electricguitar> lmstr: sorry brother
[07:51] <Ben64> lmstr: did you try an older kernel
[07:51] <electricguitar> lmstr: run the live cd, backup precious data, reinstall (or better much, try 17.10), then poof!
[07:52] <dekatch> Neo4, in that case better dont use irc in general
[07:52] <electricguitar> the computer explodes!
[07:52] <electricguitar> lmstr: boom!
[07:52] <dekatch> because we all are unknown to you. so why do you ask for assistance here anyway?

[08:50] <banisterfiend> EriC^^ (hd1, gpt4)
[08:50] <EriC^^> banisterfiend: oh
[08:50] <banisterfiend> EriC^^ for the record tihs system is an macbook pro, and i still have osx installed
[08:51] <banisterfiend> i installed linux on another partition and boot to it, if i want to boot into osx i have to hold down 'option' during boot and choose osx
[08:52] <EriC^^> banisterfiend: try 'configfile (hd0,gpt4)/boot/grub/grub.cfg' maybe we get lucky and it shows the menu without booting
[08:53] <banisterfiend> hd1 or hd0 ?
[08:53] <EriC^^> oh sorry, hd1
[08:53] <tatertotz> lemonxah: earlier i told you to "unplug and replug several times".....and you responded that you did so. True or False
[08:53] <lemonxah> tatertotz, i cant see any change when this is plugged in or not so i am starting to think this adapter might be faulty?
[08:53] <lemonxah> tatertotz, i have unplugged and replugged several times
[08:54] <tatertotz> lemonxah: Jan 24 10:24:17 lemonxah-xps kernel: usb 1-3:1.0: rebind failed: -517
[08:54] <banisterfiend> EriC^^ it says "error filename expected"
[08:54] <tatertotz> lemonxah: what time does your computer say it is?
[08:54] <EriC^^> banisterfiend: hmm try 'ls -l'
[08:54] <lemonxah> 10:54
[08:54] <EriC^^> banisterfiend: are there any 'ext*' partitions?
[08:54] <tatertotz> lemonxah: you sure do have many occurrences of Jan 24 10:24:17 lemonxah-xps kernel: usb 1-3:1.0: rebind failed: -517
[08:55] <lemonxah> yes that was when i started the laptop
[08:55] <tatertotz> lemonxah: i would try with a "known good" adapter if i were you.
[08:56] <lemonxah> tatertotz, ok i will do that i dont have another machine with usb-c to test this with so i couldn't test it with something else
[08:56] <tatertotz> lemonxah: you have a monitor attached? true or false
[08:56] <lemonxah> tatertotz, do you know any known good adapters
[08:56] <banisterfiend> EriC^^ https://www.dropbox.com/s/zpetfkoxbrm9q3s/20180124_095535.jpg?dl=0
[08:56] <lemonxah> no monitor conected now let me redo it with the monitor attached
[08:56] <tatertotz> lemonxah: lol
[08:57] <tatertotz> lemonxah: yeah...good idea
[08:57] <banisterfiend> EriC^^ yeah hd1, gpt4 is ext*
[08:57] <tatertotz> lemonxah: glad you thought of that.
[08:57] <lemonxah> yes tatertotz .. dont know what i was thinking
[08:58] <lemonxah> the cable was in but as you mentioned it i remembered that its out at the back of the screen
[08:58] <Benl90> anyone?
[08:58] <tatertotz> lemonxah: it is working now? true or false
[08:58] <lemonxah> false
[08:59] <Benl90> My ubuntu is start with read only mode, how to fix it?
[08:59] <tatertotz> lemonxah: you have a monitor attached? true or false
[08:59] <lemonxah> tatertotz, also no change in journalctl
[08:59] <lemonxah> i have monitor attached
[08:59] <EriC^^> banisterfiend: give 'configfile $prefix/grub.cfg' a try
[08:59] <lemonxah> tatertotz, no change in any of the command outputs
[08:59] <lemonxah> tatertotz, i think i will go buy another adapter i think this one might be faulty?
[09:00] <banisterfiend> EriC^^ that did something, it rebooted the sytem i think?
[09:00] <banisterfiend> oh yeah now it's back to stuck on the loading screen again :(
[09:00] <EriC^^> banisterfiend: np, press esc again to get the grub prompt
[09:00] <tatertotz> lemonxah: does the "DELL" logo appear on the "connect" display when powering on the PC (this occurs PRIOR to windows/linux even entering the equation)
[09:00] <tatertotz> lemonxah: does the "DELL" logo appear on the "connect" display when powering on the PC (this occurs PRIOR to windows/linux even entering the equation)? yes or no
[09:01] <lemonxah> tatertotz, let me start it up and check i will be right back
[09:01] <banisterfiend> EriC^^ im there again :)
[09:01] <EriC^^> banisterfiend: type "linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda4 init=/bin/bash"
[09:02] <banisterfiend> EriC^^ just did that, nothing happened
[09:02] <banisterfiend> no error, but no output either
[09:04] <lemonxah> tatertotz, there is no logo
[09:04] <lemonxah> tatertotz, thank you for your help i think this might be a faulty adapter
[09:04] <lemonxah> tatertotz, is there a known good adapter that i should get?
[09:05] <banisterfiend> EriC^^ should it have done something visible or was it a command that works behind the scenes?
[09:06] <EriC^^> banisterfiend: i'm back sorry
[09:07] <EriC^^> banisterfiend: it means it worked
[09:07] <banisterfiend> no worries man, that's for helping me i really appreciate it
[09:07] <banisterfiend> thanks
[09:07] <banisterfiend> ah ok, so what do i do now?
[09:07] <tatertotz> lemonxah: i would use one of the adapters i showed you when we began our session.
[09:07] <EriC^^> banisterfiend: type "initrd /initrd.img"
[09:08] <banisterfiend> EriC^^ heh, it says "cant find command initrd/initrd.img'
[09:08] <tatertotz> lemonxah: i have both and they work fine for me on my Dell and on a MacBook
[09:09] <tatertotz> lemonxah: "interchangeably" also they work
[09:09] <EriC^^> banisterfiend: there's a space between initrd and the /
[09:09] <banisterfiend> EriC^^ ah did it
[09:09] <banisterfiend> no error now
[09:09] <EriC^^> banisterfiend: try 'boot'
[09:10] <banisterfiend> EriC^^ awesome that worked
[09:10] <banisterfiend> now i have root
[09:10] <EriC^^> great!
[09:10] <EriC^^> ok type 'nano /etc/rc.local'
[09:11] <banisterfiend> EriC^^ it says readonly file system
[09:11] <EriC^^> banisterfiend: ah wait 1 sec
[09:11] <EriC^^> yup :)
[09:11] <EriC^^> type "mount -o remount,rw /"
[09:11] <banisterfiend> how did u learn all this stuff
[09:11] <EriC^^> lots of years here :)
[09:12] <banisterfiend> EriC^^ thansk i did that...but assuming this doesn't work, is there a way to at least get a boot log at this point to see why it froze at the ubuntu screen?
[09:13] <EriC^^> banisterfiend: yeah, type "less /var/log/boot.log"
[09:14] <banisterfiend> EriC^^ ok cool, nto sure it's useful can't really see anything there...so how do i reboot? :)
[09:14] <banisterfiend> or waht should i do now?
[09:14] <EriC^^> banisterfiend: try 'mkdir -p /var/log/journal' that should create persistent logging so you can check logs before the current one
[09:15] <banisterfiend> thanks
[09:15] <banisterfiend> EriC^^ yeah so i think it froze at: "started IIO sensor proxy sercice"
[09:15] <banisterfiend> and it froze afer that
[09:16] <banisterfiend> EriC^^ so what should i do now?
[09:16] <EriC^^> banisterfiend: also type "systemd-tmpfiles --create --prefix /var/log/journal"
[09:16] <EriC^^> banisterfiend: then type 'reboot'
[09:17] <banisterfiend> EriC^^ lol reboot doesnt work
[09:17] <banisterfiend> it says "failed to connect to bus no such file or directory"
[09:17] <EriC^^> what does it say?
[09:17] <banisterfiend> failed to talk to the init dameon
[09:17] <EriC^^> oh
[09:17] <EriC^^> banisterfiend: try pressing ctrl+alt+del
[09:18] <banisterfiend> EriC^^ homie let's get married, you fixed it!!
[09:18] <banisterfiend> wow
[09:18] <EriC^^> great!
[09:18] <banisterfiend> i have no idea what any of that stuff you did means, but wow, that's impressive
[09:18] <banisterfiend> EriC^^ crazy how just some innocent looking stuff in rc.local coudl break everuything so badly jesus
[09:19] <EriC^^> yup, once putting a "." in ~/.profile messed my whole desktop :D
[09:19] <EriC^^> what were you trying to run in rc.local?
[09:20] <banisterfiend> EriC^^ well i just wrote a little shell script that auto-uploads files to dropbox that get added to my ~/screenshots/ folder cos i couldn't find a decent screenshot autouploader in ubuntu
[09:20] <banisterfiend> so i wanted that little script to start on system boot
[09:20] <banisterfiend> so i just executed that shell script in rc.local...
[09:21] <banisterfiend> BOOM
[09:21] <EriC^^> :D
[09:21] <lemonxah> another issue i have is if there is a headset plugged in on boot i have to replug it before i can use it or i have to go to settings everything
[09:21] <EriC^^> why not put it in the startup apps of your user?
[09:21] <EriC^^> it would run every time you logged in
[09:22] <lemonxah> is there an easy way to bring up that popup you get once you plug something into the headphone jack?
[09:23] <Quenz> There's a flickering green bar in Activities Overview in Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 LTS after installing nvidia-340. Any way to fix this?
[09:26] <banisterfiend> EriC^^ how do i do that?
[09:26] <Quenz> tatertotz I fixed the other issue by the way. All it required was an 'apt update', 'apt full-upgrade', 'ubuntu-drivers autoinstall' and reboot on a fresh install.
[09:26] <tatertotz> Quenz: screen shots can be posted to imgur.com and the link/url shared
[09:26] <Quenz> tatertotz I can't take a screen shot because every time I do, the green bar disappears.
[09:26] <tatertotz> Quenz: disappears?
[09:27] <EriC^^> banisterfiend: click on the dash and type 'startup'
[09:27] <banisterfiend> EriC^^ how do i add it to startup apps?
[09:27] <Quenz> tatertotz The bar flickers. Appears and disappears. It also disappears every time I try to screenshot it.
[09:27] <Quenz> I suppose I can take a photo
[09:27] <EriC^^> banisterfiend: you're using ubuntu unity right?
[09:28] <kostkon> banisterfiend, search for "startup" in the dash
[09:30] <banisterfiend> thanks guys trying it now
[09:30] <banisterfiend> EriC^^ i'm using 17.10 i think it's using gnome now
[09:30] <banisterfiend> but i found startup apps, and added my command , let's see
[09:36] <tatertotz> Quenz: occurs only on external monitor? true or false
[09:36] <Quenz> tatertotz False. Never tried an external monitor.
[09:41] <tatertotz> Quenz: you own a external monitor? true or false
[09:42] <Quenz> tatertotz True, but I'm not sure I have the right connection for this laptop.
[09:42] <tatertotz> Quenz: the symptom occurs when booted to livecd/liveusb? true or false
[09:43] <Quenz> tatertotz I'm not sure. I don't think I can test that, because I need to reboot to enable the nvidia-340 driver.

[10:16] <debouncer> I wonder whether it is possible to change the windows manager of a DE. Or how do you create your custom DE using Windows managers, panels etc.?

[10:30] <Quenz> tatertotz Whatever it is... how do I enable it?
[10:35] <tatertotz> Quenz: think back, are you always limited to  1280x800? yes or no
[10:35] <Quenz> tatertotz I've never checked.
[10:36] <kv102t> Used WUBI to add ubuntu to windows10, i selected incorrect MOK and now i just get grub>..  anyway, i uninstalled and reinistalled but it always retuns to grub, i can't seem to get back to the MOK.  Any ideas?
[10:37] <tatertotz> Quenz: http://termbin.com/2vuu
[10:38] <tatertotz> Quenz: No modes were requested; the default mode "nvidia-auto-select"
[10:39] <Quenz> tatertotz So... should I try setting the resolution, or..?
[10:41] <cnnx> i have ubuntu and win10 on the same hdd, right now it boots right into win10, i tried using a progra to install grub but it failed, is it because my bios is set for uefi?
[10:46] <tatertotz> Quenz: 1280x800 is your "native" resolution as per https://support.apple.com/kb/sp579?locale=en_US however notice you have no other options for resolution(s).
[10:47] <Quenz> tatertotz I noticed that just now, yes. So, what does this mean?
[10:47] <tatertotz> Quenz: and i've already told you why ...here...http://termbin.com/tt1v
[10:47] <kv102t> cnnx: You could try what i'm doing WUBI
[10:47] <cnnx> WUBI?
[10:47] <tatertotz> Quenz: I just inform you with information so you can make good choices
[10:47] <cnnx> if i disable eufi would it work
[10:48] <cnnx> if i do grub-install /dev/sda
[10:48] <tatertotz> Quenz: :)
[10:48] <Quenz> tatertotz I'm not really sure how to interpret that log. I need to go to bed now, anyway. If you have any new information you can post to here https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2383374 if you like. Thanks so far
[10:49] <tatertotz> Quenz: i'm sure they'd flame me to death if i posted to the forums....i catch hell just helping people in IRC
[10:50] <Quenz> tatertotz You don't have to, but I would appreciate if you posted any useful information to my thread.

[12:46] <Megabyte> hello
[12:46] <Megabyte> does anyone here use ffmpeg?
[12:46] <tatertotz> lots of people/things use ffmpeg (on the backend)...what is the real issue
[12:46] <jimb_> I use ffmpeg Megabyte
[12:46] <BluesKaj> Megabyte, it's difficult not to use ffmpeg
[12:47] <Megabyte> BluesKaj, the problem is that I recorded me drawing in real time and I wanted to do a timelapse
[12:47] <tatertotz> it goes smoother if you just admit what the "real" actual issue is
[12:47] <Megabyte> So I recorded 48 hours of footage
[12:47] <Megabyte> When I try to do a timelapse with ffmpeg, it brings my computer down after processing 11 hours of footage
[12:47] <Megabyte> I'm assuming it has to do with memory management
[12:48] <Megabyte> The last time it crashed due to a page fault
[12:48] <tatertotz> Megabyte: what standard is your video?
[12:48] <BluesKaj> Megabyte, sorry I have no idea anout time lapse
[12:48] <tatertotz> Megabyte: PAL=25/50 NTSC=29.97/60
[12:49] <tatertotz> Megabyte: PAL=25/50 NTSC=29.97/60?
[12:49] <supermegazord> hello i search to download  bittorent sync DEB package or tar.gz archiwe - version 2.3.7 or 2.3.8
[12:49] <tatertotz> Megabyte: you can say "i do not know"
[12:51] <rafael> Hello everyone. Firefox 58 wont support CSD on ubuntu?
[12:51] <tatertotz> Megabyte: ..nevermind
[12:52] <Megabyte> tarsorry, I was busy tending to a video
[12:52] <Megabyte> tatertotz,
[12:52] <Megabyte> it's 1920x1080
[12:52] <Megabyte> does that help?
[12:52] <tatertotz> Megabyte: knowing the size of the "raster" is nice...but since you speak of "time lapse" knowing the frame "rate" would be more helpful for you
[12:53] <tatertotz> Megabyte: in NTSC world...we use 29.97/600
[12:53] <Megabyte> tatertotz, I want to set the frame rate to 60 fps
[12:53] <tatertotz> Megabyte: in PAL world they use 25/50
[12:53] <Megabyte> But this was recorded straight from my computer
[12:53] <Megabyte> so NTSC/PAL does not apply
[12:53] <tatertotz> Megabyte: doesn't matter...and it does apply..you just don't know that yet
[12:53] <BugzBunny> I am trying clemeta I think
[12:54] <Megabyte> So is a video recorded from your computer desktop NTSC or PAL?
[12:54] <tatertotz> Megabyte: countries didn't invent PAL/NTSC for grins
[12:54] <BugzBunny> I click on File, but there is not Add, how do you add music to Clementa music player?
[12:54] <Megabyte> tatertotz, they invented it because they had different scanning systems
[12:54] <BugzBunny> Ubuntu 17.10 here
[12:54] <Megabyte> But with computers, as far as I know, this is moot
[12:55] <tatertotz> Megabyte: not only that but electricity does something at 60hz
[12:55] <Megabyte> tatertotz, anyway
[12:55] <tatertotz> Megabyte: so while you may think it does NOT matter...i'm telling you it DOES
[12:55] <Megabyte> I'm processing my video to be 60FPS

[12:56] <BugzBunny> Hello
[12:56] <BugzBunny> No one knows
[12:56] <Megabyte> tatertotz, Now what do I do to prevent ffmpeg from pagefaulting?
[12:57] <tatertotz> Megabyte: in any event since not really a ubuntu issue...and i don't want to trigger op/mods....i'll just let some else help you with "video production"
[12:57] <Megabyte> tatertotz, then let's talk in private
[12:58] <BugzBunny> When you say pagefault, you mean swap?
[12:58] <Megabyte> BugzBunny, My computer simply grinds to a halt and crashes
[12:58] <Megabyte> after processing 11 hours of data
[12:59] <BugzBunny> I use ffmpeg, it's hard and confusing but uh, sounds like OOM
[12:59] <Megabyte> OOM?
[12:59] <BugzBunny> Out of Memory
[12:59] <Megabyte> BugzBunny, that is what I'm thinking
[12:59] <Megabyte> ffmpeg shouldn't throw an error like that
[12:59] <Megabyte> I mean, it's probably storing these large amounts of data to disk anyway
[12:59] <BugzBunny> What is the ERROR exactly
[13:00] <Megabyte> BugzBunny, it usually gives no error
[13:00] <Megabyte> it simply freezes
[13:00] <Megabyte> along with my whole computer
[13:00] <BugzBunny> Freeze doesn't mean it stop working
[13:00] <Megabyte> It does, man
[13:00] <Megabyte> everything stops working
[13:01] <BugzBunny> Well, what FLAGS are you passing to FFmpeg
[13:02] <Megabyte> BugzBunny, I posted them above
[13:02] <Megabyte> Can you scroll up?
[13:02] <BugzBunny> Before or I after I joined
[13:02] <BugzBunny> ?
[13:02] <pauljw> BugzBunny, do you mean Clementine?  if so, open the app, press ctrl-p, select Music Library and add the folder where you store your music. then under tools, have it do a full library rescan and your music library will be built.
[13:02] <Megabyte> Ok
[13:02] <Megabyte> let me give them to you in private
[13:03] <Megabyte> BugzBunny, sent
[13:04] <SimonNL> BugzBunny: after you joined
[13:04] <BugzBunny> Thanks pauljw , looking
[13:05] <BugzBunny> Megabyte: No PM brother, just paste it here
[13:05] <Vic_2132> hi
[13:06] <BugzBunny> pauljw: Ahh, you have to do it in prefences
[13:06] <BugzBunny> Meh, I wish it would be in File
[13:07] <Megabyte> -i saída_parte_1.mp4 -i saída_parte_2.mp4 -i saída_parte_3.mp4 -i saída_parte_4.mp4 -filter_complex "[0:v]setpts=PTS/144,fps=60,scale=1920:1080[tmp0];[1:v]setpts=PTS/144,fps=60,scale=1920:1080[tmp1];[2:v]setpts=PTS/144,fps=60,scale=1920:1080[tmp2];[3:v]setpts=PTS/144,fps=60,scale=1920:1080[tmp3]; [tmp0][tmp1][tmp2][tmp3]concat=n=4:v=1" -crf 15 output.mp4
[13:07] <Megabyte> BugzBunny, there
[13:08] <BugzBunny> It's hard to undderstand FFmpeg, but I see a lot of Inputs
[13:10] <BugzBunny> You trying to add clips after each other?
[13:10] <BugzBunny> Also, the scale? It's not already at 1080p
[13:11] <BugzBunny> Or, you traying to do muptiple videos, each scale at each
[13:11] <fishie> I'm trying to add a program to my menu with Ubuntu's menu editor, and every time I make one it adds it, but doesn't show it in the menu editor, so I have 4 copies I can't delete {and none of them work}
[13:11] <tatertotz> and why are you transcoding/encoding if you really want "time lapse"
[13:12] <fishie> how do I delete items from the menu that don't show up in the menu editor? and how do I make an application shortcut that works with multiple commands in a single line?
[13:12] <fishie> I guess they're not commands... what are they...
[13:13] <tatertotz> you wouldn't bring a video into "handbreak" to make "time lapse"....(handbreak uses ffmpeg)
[13:13] <tatertotz> that is a NLE's job
[13:13] <tatertotz> ffmpeg is NOT a NLE
[13:13] <SimonNL> fishie: do they have a check mark in front in the show column
[13:14] <tatertotz> but i'm gonna shut up
[13:14] <Megabyte> BugzBunny, I have four videos
[13:14] <Megabyte> each has their own video and audio input
[13:14] <Megabyte> and the concatenation filter requires me to specify each audio and video input manually
[13:15] <fishie> SimonNL, in what interface? I'm not looking at this through the file browser. I don't even know where my menus are in the file browser to utilize "show hidden files" if that were the issue.
[13:15] <Megabyte> I'm trying to glue them all into a 10-20 minute video
[13:15] <SimonNL> fishie: selecting what you want to remove should offer the remove button to be usable
[13:15] <Megabyte> BugzBunny, Does that make sense?
[13:15] <SimonNL> fishie: I'm talking about right click menu button on panel and choosing edit
[13:16] <fishie> SimonNL, nope. when I click on a menu item in the actual menu, I only have 3 "add" options. and the first thing is it's name, greyed out.
[13:16] <SubCool> Ok... i just made a large message, and lost it... so-- sorry to flood while i rewrite it.
[13:16] <fishie> "add to favorites/desktop/panel"
[13:16] <BugzBunny> It seems like tatertotz has better idea of what you doing
[13:16] <SubCool> SO- i got myself intoa  mess, i was following a guide which made a mess: https://askubuntu.com/questions/900308/plasmashell-keeps-crashing-kubuntu . I am not trying to remove it.
[13:17] <SimonNL> fishie: thats from a launcher in menu
[13:17] <BugzBunny> I use ffmpeg for live streaming
[13:17] <SimonNL> wrong place fishie
[13:17] <Megabyte> BugzBunny, I recorded footage of myself drawing
[13:17] <Megabyte> This footage is in real time
[13:17] <Megabyte> so it's 48 hours of me drawing
[13:17] <SubCool> https://askubuntu.com/questions/307/how-can-ppas-be-removed -
[13:17] <Megabyte> I want to speed it up to 20 minutes
[13:17] <fishie> SimonNL, yes. IN the actual menu I can see them. IN the "menu editor" they are not even listed.
[13:17] <Megabyte> Does that make sense?
[13:17] <BugzBunny> Well, ffmpeg, the documenation is not bad
[13:17] <Megabyte> Ffmpeg is hell to use :P
[13:18] <BugzBunny> I use to feel the same way
[13:18] <tatertotz> ffmpeg is easy to use..thus its popularity
[13:18] <BugzBunny> But when I started to learn to use it.. it's not that bad
[13:18] <Megabyte> tatertotz, it's easy for basic stuff
[13:18] <Megabyte> But it's a nightmare for timelapse
[13:18] <BugzBunny> It's super difficult tatertotz
[13:19] <BugzBunny> A lot of of it I don't understand but it requires practice
[13:19] <Megabyte> Also no one has helped me with this strange memory leak
[13:19] <SubCool> But, during the installation i used teh upgrade-full command. HOw do i use purge thing to go backwards on my upgrade?
[13:19] <SimonNL> fishie: where did you add the launchers
[13:19] <SimonNL> fishie: thats where you should be able to remove
[13:19] <tatertotz> you're trying to dig a tunnel with a spoon lol
[13:20] <fishie> SimonNL, in the menu editor.
[13:20] <Megabyte> tatertotz, what do you mean?
[13:21] <SimonNL> fishie: I'm on mint are we using same thing  https://imgur.com/a/ehkrY
[13:21] <Megabyte> I'm glad I have a lot of space in my disk
[13:22] <Megabyte> If this fails, I'll simply speed up each file manually with a batch file
[13:22] <Megabyte> but it's not pretty
[13:22] <Megabyte> The original footage is 15GB
[13:24] <fishie> SimonNL, hmmm... no. I'm in Xubuntu. but it's probably similar.
[13:25] <SimonNL> fishie: select category on the right then select app launcher on the right a remove button should be offered
[13:25] <SimonNL> oops category on the left
[13:26] <fishie> SimonNL, they do not appear in the menu editor, so there is nothing there for me to delete. I have WoW, WoW2, WoW3, WoW4, all in the ACTUAL Xubuntu application menu which I can not delete.
[13:26] <SimonNL> fishie: we're probably in the wrong channel but we will get told if so
[13:26] <Borw3> Is it possible to upgrade from 32bit to 64bit Ubuntu without formating?
[13:27] <SimonNL> fishie: are shown in category or favorites only or some thing like it
[13:28] <fishie> SimonNL, I'm not sure I understand the question/statement. WoW1-4 are shown in my menu under "Games". not favorites.
[13:28] <SimonNL> fishie: and in menu editor "games" ?
[13:29] <fishie> SimonNL, in menu editor "games" does not show any of them.
[13:29] <fishie> SimonNL, it shows the other games. Mines and Sudoku, but not the ones I created.
[13:29] <SimonNL> fishie: you created them in menu editor ?
[13:29] <fishie> SimonNL, correct.
[13:30] <SimonNL> weird
[13:31] <fishie> SimonNL, yup. very strange. I don't know if it's because I'm using an SSD. It's my 1st time using one. I did have all my graphical icons disappear from a menu once, but only once.
[13:33] <fishie> SimonNL, I'll be back in 10 minutes.
[13:33] <SimonNL> fishie: i'll probably be gone
[13:34] <SimonNL> volunteers job to do
[13:34] <BugzBunny> I am only seeing one song
[13:35] <BugzBunny> Uh, does clementine music player rescan the directory
[13:35] <BugzBunny> Does it do recursive
[13:35] <BugzBunny> Because, it's not working here, no matter I delete the directory and add it again
[13:37] <BugzBunny> Playlist->add file works
[13:37] <BugzBunny> But uh, I have to do that for all my music?
[13:38] <pauljw> did you do as i said BugzBunny and go to tools and rescan the library?
[13:39] <BugzBunny> He didn't say that
[13:40] <BugzBunny> Uh, you just go into perfences, which I did
[13:40] <BugzBunny> Add the music library
[13:40] <pauljw> BugzBunny, do you mean Clementine?  if so, open the app, press ctrl-p, select Music Library and add the folder where you store your music. then under tools, have it do a full library rescan and your music library will be built.
[13:40] <sleppy> hi
[13:40] <BugzBunny> Ohhh
[13:41] <BugzBunny> That is really too many steps vs other jukebox players
[13:41] <pauljw> there are also a couple of checkboxes in preferences that will automate the process
[13:42] <pauljw> then use one of the other ones.  clementine is an awesome player and it's a set it up once and forget it.
[13:42] <BugzBunny> It says, Tools -> Do full libary scan
[13:42] <BugzBunny> Nothing
[13:43] <BugzBunny> Holdon, just figure out the problem
[13:43] <pauljw> so have i...
[13:44] <BugzBunny> Now, the libary path I had set earlier was the typical /media/ blah blah
[13:45] <BugzBunny> I have fstab enteries for my disks and it was pointing at the wrong location
[13:45] <BugzBunny> Now it works
[13:45] <BugzBunny> s/wrong/right/
[13:46] <BugzBunny> I wanted to try, because on their site, they have their Inspiration from Amarok 1.x
[13:47] <BugzBunny> No audio, hmmm
[13:48] <fishie> how do I search for the file/folder location for the Ubuntu menu that's created with the Ubuntu Menu Editor?
[13:49] <cnnx> I was running ubuntu and last night added a new partition and installed win10, and now it boots only in win10, now i need to  use my ubuntu again how do I get back into it? my BIOS is set for EUFI and /dev/sda1 is EFI filesystem type
[13:50] <cnnx> i tried grub without success
[13:50] <BugzBunny> cnnx: What Windows version?
[13:50] <BugzBunny> cnnx: And, Efi system?
[13:50] <cnnx> BugzBunny: win10 home
[13:51] <BugzBunny> Efi system?
[13:51] <cnnx> yeah
[13:51] <cnnx> the /dev/sda1
[13:51] <cnnx> from fdisk -l
[13:51] <cnnx> shows its EFI
[13:51] <BugzBunny> Winodws isntallation will overwrite bios
[13:51] <cnnx> thats what windows10 created
[13:51] <cnnx> ok
[13:51] <cnnx> so how do i get back into ubuntu
[13:51] <BugzBunny> Uh, on Efi system, if Ubuntu is Efi
[13:52] <BugzBunny> Just go to BIOS and change it
[13:52] <cnnx> i dont have EFI in bios
[13:53] <cnnx> just UEFI
[13:53] <BugzBunny> Same thing, got to boot menu
[13:53] <BugzBunny> Change the order
[13:54] <cnnx> to boot from which one
[13:54] <cnnx> the EFI/EUFI ?
[13:54] <cnnx> its 1 physical drive
[13:55] <BugzBunny> cnnx: Go to BIOS, boot section, and change the order of boot pri
[13:55] <BugzBunny> priority
[13:55] <cnnx> ok which should be first
[13:55] <mjayk> Haya all anyone here managed to get onedrive for buisness syncing with ubuntu (ondrive-d doesnt support buisness I believe)
[13:56] <BugzBunny> On UEFI aware BIOS, he will detect OSes on the 1 disk
[13:56] <tatertotz> mjayk: have you tried ? yes or no
[13:56] <BugzBunny> It should give you option which OSes you want primary
[13:56] <mjayk> tatertotz: I have tried ondrive-d yes
[13:57] <mjayk> tatertotz: the auth portal it sends you to is incorrect for buisness auth
[13:57] <john_rambo> https://spideroak.com/share/OR2XQMBQG4/ubuntu/home/xubuntu/SpiderOak%20Hive/New%20Folder/nmapplet.png.....I see 2 nm-applets ...How to fix this ?
[13:58] <tatertotz> mjayk: you are %100 certain ondrive-d does not support the intended use you seek (onedrive business) true or false
[13:59] <mjayk> tatertotz: i am not 100% sure no, however I have tried it and it does not work for me. A quick google confirms that it does not support buisness however there are a few forks that may, I've tried one of them from github and it also failed.
[14:00] <cnnx> BugzBunny: sorry if i asked the same thing im actually working at the same time
[14:00] <cnnx> with clients
[14:00] <cnnx> BugzBunny: i work from home
[14:00] <cnnx> BugzBunny: so go in the bios, and play with the boot priority
[14:00] <cnnx> instead of booting from the 60GB SSD
[14:00] <cnnx> i boot from a EFI device?
[14:01] <cnnx> or EFI parition?
[14:01] <BugzBunny> It's okay
[14:02] <BugzBunny> Windows will overwrite UEFI BIOS and Make it primary
[14:02] <BugzBunny> All you have to do is go to BIOS
[14:02] <BugzBunny> Set it back to Linux
[14:03] <tatertotz> mjayk: both failed in the same identical manner. true or false
[14:03] <BugzBunny> You don't have to worry about UEFI partitions and stuff
[14:03] <BugzBunny> Because all OSES obey UEFI spec
[14:04] <BugzBunny> There is ONLY one partition and all OSese SHOULD put their stuff their
[14:04] <BugzBunny> So far, I haven't seen mutile UEFI partitions on one Disk confused BIOS
[14:04] <tatertotz> mjayk: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/OneDrive-system-requirements-cc0cb2b8-f446-445c-9b52-d3c2627d681e
[14:06] <mjayk> tatertotz: thanks but im not sure that helps, unless you are trying to tell me it doesnt work. The onedrive for normal use stats teh same system requirements however onedrive-d exists, hence my question.
[14:07] <BugzBunny> cnnx: Depends on BIOS, my American Trends aka ASUS BIOS has a very friendly boot section
[14:08] <BugzBunny> cnnx: On the BOOT section, you can set the order and I nave EFI partions on different disks

[14:25] <BugzBunny> Do you even know how Boot loader works
[14:25] <tatertotz> shanky: i know you want to be optimistic and all....but you don't get to be optimistic when you yank the power cord during kernel updates
[14:25] <BugzBunny> That's a very component
[14:25] <tatertotz> shanky: that's called "fatal"
[14:25] <BugzBunny> You should know POST
[14:25] <shanky> tatertotz: i dint do power cut its stucked no idea why :(
[14:25] <tatertotz> shanky: do you understand "fatal"

[14:29] <lesshaste> as in https://www.foot.com//it-services/advice/homeusers/remote/staffdesktop/SlowBroadband_staff_desktop_service.rdp

[14:30] <lesshaste> BugzBunny, hmm... when I paste in the url I get Unable to connect to RDP server as in https
[14:30] <karjala__> Should we allow installation of the update offered by ubuntu that installs firmware update for Intel CPUs?
[14:31] <karjala__> I think I saw that Intel advises us not to install the update
[14:31] <BugzBunny> lesshaste: In remmina?
[14:31] <karjala__> So why is Canonical serving it?
[14:31] <lesshaste> BugzBunny, yes
[14:31] <lesshaste> BugzBunny,  can I pm you?
[14:31] <BugzBunny> You don't put a URL
[14:31] <BugzBunny> You put a HOST
[14:32] <Kon-> karjala__, IIRC the Intel microcode available right now has already been rolled back
[14:32] <Kon-> to the previous version
[14:32] <BugzBunny> Do youn understand what host is ? If not, if you are in lick, if myput.china.com resolve to IP.. that's a host
[14:32] <TJ-> karjala__: Yes; we backed out the 20180108 changes
[14:32] <Riaz_ID> hi
[14:33] <BugzBunny> lesshaste: First, DNS, not URL but host, it resolve to IP
[14:33] <tatertotz> shanky: you will need to be able to burn a DVD, means blank DVD+R, or a USB flash drive of appropriate capacity (north of 4GB is cool) then you need about 20 minutes - 1 hour to download/obtain a Linux ISO file..that's pretty much it
[14:34] <lesshaste> BugzBunny,  I which part of https://www.foot.com//it-services/advice/homeusers/remote/staffdesktop/SlowBroadband_staff_desktop_service.rdp do I put in remmina?
[14:34] <lesshaste> sorry for being dim
[14:34] <u0_a149_> ok
[14:34] <hateball> lesshaste: there's no software to import an RDP file, but you should be able to view its contents with a text editor

[14:35] <mgaunard> hi, i started do-release-upgrade on 17.04 and it crashed my X

[14:36] <mgaunard> I can see that dpkg is still running, can I recover that session somehow?
[14:36] <hateball> lesshaste: at any rate you need to download it first
[14:36] <BugzBunny> The '//' are separaters, the 'www' is a sub domain of ffoot.com, which ffoot is a sub domain of com
[14:36] <lesshaste> hateball, thanks
[14:37] <BugzBunny> No
[14:37] <BugzBunny> The way RDP works
[14:37] <shanky> tatertotz: hey i used recovery option and used dpkg to fix it its updatig packages hope it will work
[14:37] <BugzBunny> You need to accept a SSL Certificate to connect
[14:37] <hateball> BugzBunny: The domain where this file is hosted doesnt need to have anything to do with the content of the RDP file
[14:38] <BugzBunny> No
[14:38] <BugzBunny> It doesn't, I have tested for quite awhile
[14:38] <u0_a149_> exit
[14:38] <BugzBunny> RDP is encrypted, for, RDP 4.x

[15:02] <vanderberng> hi
[15:02] <vanderberng> how can i install ubuntu in a lenovo with ssd ?
[15:03] <auronandace> vanderberng: you can use a usb stick
[15:03] <vanderberng> i just bought this laptop and never had one with a ssd
[15:04] <vanderberng>  auronandace so i cant install it in the ssd?
[15:04] <auronandace> vanderberng: yes you can
[15:04] <vanderberng> is it hard to do? what steps should i follow
[15:04] <ducasse> Abule: install just like you would on a hdd
[15:04] <vanderberng> in the bios
[15:04] <ducasse> vanderberng: install just like you would on a hdd
[15:04] <vanderberng> ducasse, really? so ubuntu already supports ssd?
[15:05] <ducasse> of course
[15:05] <auronandace> vanderberng: if you are planning on installing 17.10 please make sure you use the updated iso
[15:06] <auronandace> vanderberng: they released it as 17.10.1
[15:06] <vanderberng> im used to do it in hdd so i shouldnt have any problems doing it in a ssd just by following the same steps with hdd? and keeping my windows 10?
[15:06] <vanderberng> i want dual boot
[15:06] <vanderberng> or should i format it at all?
[15:06] <vanderberng> before installing ubuntu?
[15:06] <auronandace> vanderberng: you may need to check how windows has the uefi set up
[15:07] <vanderberng> or can i just take a partition without losing my windows 10
[15:07] <auronandace> vanderberng: mine had it set up in raid mode so I had to change it to ahci
[15:07] <sadf> I cannot access http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/zesty/universe/source/Sources (404)
[15:07] <shanky> tatertotz: HEY BINGO
[15:07] <sadf> is this a problem on my side or is it down for everybody?
[15:08] <shanky> tatertotz: I recovered my system :)
[15:08] <vanderberng> so i should just change it from sdd to ahci and it would work like a hdd?
[15:08] <vanderberng> is it right?
[15:08] <auronandace> vanderberng: it depends on your setup. do you only have the one disk? an ssd?
[15:08] <vanderberng> and ofc desactivate uefi
[15:08] <vanderberng> yes
[15:08] <vanderberng> 120gb sdd
[15:08] <vanderberng> the internal one
[15:08] <auronandace> vanderberng: mine has an ssd and a hdd (which is why they set it up as raid)
[15:09] <vanderberng> oh ok
[15:09] <vanderberng> but that isnt my case
[15:09] <auronandace> vanderberng: sounds good
[15:09] <vanderberng> or would it be better to install ubuntu in a pendrive?
[15:09] <ducasse> sadf: zesty is eol, so the archives have been moved. you need to upgrade.
[15:09] <auronandace> vanderberng: you will need to install it in uefi mode if you want to dual boot win10 too
[15:10] <vanderberng> so i dont need to change it to ahci?
[15:10] <vanderberng> since ubuntu already supportss sdd?
[15:10] <sadf> ducasse, oh thanks!
[15:10] <auronandace> vanderberng: no, that was for the disk detection in thwe bios. You only have one disk so they wouldn't set it as raid
[15:11] <vanderberng> oh ok thanks bro
[15:11] <ducasse> !eolupgrade | sadf
[15:11] <vanderberng> it was very helpful
[15:12] <mindsauce> Hi, can someone please help me, I'm trying to purge the r-base-core package, but I can't because of a broken package "gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad"
[15:12] <vanderberng> i have heard some lenovos doesnt let u to install another OS
[15:12] <TJ-> mindsauce: try first "sudo apt-get -f install" to fix things
[15:13] <vanderberng> mine is lenovo ideapad 320
[15:13] <auronandace> vanderberng: another thing to keep in mind is if you need to use virtualbox or nvidia drivers you will need to disable secure boot (you don't need to do that if you are happy with nouveau)
[15:13] <vanderberng> im ok with nouveau
[15:14] <vanderberng> another thing , i didnt tried the last version of ubuntu yet , does it has the taskbar in the down side by default?
[15:14] <vanderberng> does it still use unity?
[15:14] <auronandace> vanderberng: the latest 17.10 uses gnome3 shell with a dock on the left
[15:14] <sadf> ducasse, actually I'm using the most up to date docker image of ubuntu:17.04, therefore I assumed they would have changed the /etc/apt/sources configuration
[15:15] <sadf> didn't realize, that the docker images also get eol'ed
[15:15] <tatertotz> shanky: what did you do to recover?
[15:16] <r00t-ID-041> ok
[15:18] <eraserpencil> why cant i run CS on ubuntu?
[15:19] <eraserpencil> it greys out after launch
[15:28] <mindsauce> @TJ I tried doing an apt-get -f install but it fails. So, the broken package is "libde265" but my guess is that apt can't install it because it's trying to overwrite a libde265 package version which is in the precise ppa. I don't know if I'm making sense.
[15:29] <mindsauce> I recently upgraded from precise to xenial btw
[15:29] <vanderberng> btw if i flash the ubuntu iso with rufus on a pendrive using mbr uefi bios option , do i still need to desactivate uefi on the bios?

[15:45] <vanderberng> what is the best software to record the desktop on ubuntu?
[15:46] <Budgii> Never used these and didnt read the link.. but a quick search brought back this
[15:46] <Budgii> https://itsfoss.com/best-linux-screen-recorders/
[15:46] <BluesKaj> recordmydesktop I think
[15:46] <BluesKaj> vanderberng,^
[15:46] <Kon-> vanderberng, many people like SimpleScreenRecorder but if you want more powerful recording tools, OBS is great
[15:46] <vanderberng> and is there a software for ubuntu to download youtube videos?
[15:47] <ducasse> vanderberng: youtube-dl
[15:47] <vanderberng> to dowload videos without using a website
[15:48] <vanderberng> ty
[15:48] <siva_machina> simple video recorder is also pretty good for recording
[15:48] <vanderberng> is there anyone who has installed ubuntu on a ssd?
[15:49] <vanderberng> is there anyone who has a lenovo with ssd
[15:49] <vanderberng> with ubuntu installed
[15:49] <Budgii> I'm running linux on my SSD
[15:49] <mindsauce> TJ : tried that. apt still fails, same error as before. Here's the terminal output : https://pastebin.com/1Je45sit
[15:49] <Budgii> Its not lenovo though
[15:49] <vanderberng> but how big is ur SSD
[15:49] <Budgii> like 500 gb or something
[15:49] <siva_machina> simple screen recordr
[15:49] <vanderberng> u just have one SSD?
[15:49] <siva_machina> not video
[15:49] <Budgii> Yeah. just SSD nothing else. Laptop.
[15:50] <vanderberng> and how did u install it? did u have troubles?
[15:50] <hggdh> vanderberng: two SSDs here, one 250G m-sata, one 500G
[15:50] <vanderberng> and what ubuntu version u got installed?
[15:50] <hggdh> no trouble installing
[15:50] <vanderberng> are u using 17 version?
[15:50] <vanderberng> the latest?
[15:51] <Budgii> vanderberng, I was on windows10. I wrote it to a USB drive with a mounting program, made a partition and installed alongside windows.
[15:51] <hggdh> vanderberng: first install on 14.04, multiple installs later, currently running Bionic
[15:51] <Budgii> No, I am on linux Budgie.
[15:51] <vanderberng> nice
[15:51] <vanderberng> thats exactly what im about to do Budgii
[15:51] <Budgii> hggdh.. bionic sounds cool!
[15:51] <vanderberng> i hope i dont have troubles by doing it on a ssd , i have experience by doing it in hdd
[15:52] <vanderberng> but never in ssd , so if its the same , i should not have problems
[15:52] <hggdh> vanderberng: there should be no visble difference
[15:52] <Budgii> Should be no different
[15:52] <ducasse> vanderberng: it's exactly the same procedure
[15:52] <Budgii> It just doesn't have mechanical function, hard drive is just faster
[15:52] <vanderberng> i didnt try yet , but i searched info about lenovo laptops with ssd and i got scared
[15:53] <alazeo> hey, how can i get help for an ubuntu grub/initframs problem. I have used a grub boot repair program and it said to seek help with the provided information.
[15:53] <vanderberng> there are some forums who said , microsoft and lenovo locked the bios
[15:53] <vanderberng> and it all
[15:53] <Budgii> ah. I wouldnt man. I mean installing windows 7 on a really brand new laptop may have an issue, but with linux i think you should be fine.
[15:53] <vanderberng> but what laptop do u have
[15:53] <Budgii> Oh yeah, all you need to do is go through UEFI and turn off secure boot
[15:53] <Budgii> They made a hurdle but it's not impossible. :)
[15:54] <vanderberng> no ,but it was something further uefi
[15:54] <Budgii> Share a link if you can, I can review
[15:54] <vanderberng> ok hold on
[15:55] <alazeo> I get a grub menu on boot with the correct ubuntu option but after selecting it goed into a initframs console. From where I don't get it working. The repair help gave this link with the information: https://paste.ubuntu.com/26451017/
[15:56] <vincenzoml> Hi there. I like gnome3 a lot for everyday use, but need a secondary session to log in for live audio purposes (jackd, realtime and the likes) with no background daemons. I saw that installing either xubuntu-desktop or lubuntu-desktop brings in a huge selection of packages. I only need a very light window manager for a specific task, what can I use?

[15:57] <leftyfb> rafael: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/11/firefox-nightly-adds-csd-option
[15:58] <ducasse> vincenzoml: something like openbox, fluxbox, fvwm etc?
[16:00] <vanderberng> http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-37431299 Budgii
[16:00] <leftyfb> alexandros: /join #ubuntu-gr
[16:00] <rafael> leftyfb: yeah, stable is not doing this
[16:01] <leftyfb> rafael: not yet, no.
[16:01] <vanderberng> Lenovo's Signature laptops refuse to install Linux
[16:01] <vanderberng> Linux was blocked because of an "agreement of lenovo with Microsoft"
[16:02] <rafael> leftyfb: Ive tried stable that was released today
[16:02] <rafael> Not working with CSD
[16:02] <ducasse> vanderberng: only applies to laptops labelled 'microsoft signature'
[16:03] <otherRick> good day, I develop a custom module that trigger events using /dev/input/by-id/usb-custom_App.-event-if00. I see some debug traces in the syslog; I need a setting for read the key events in the user space?
[16:03] <leftyfb> rafael: as I just said. It's not released in the stable version yet. You'll have to wait till the Mozilla foundation releases the feature in the stable version.
[16:04] <rafael> leftyfb: Oh, OK. Sorry.
[16:04] <vanderberng> ducasse, going back to the last topic , so , i shouldnt change sdd to ahci before installing ubuntu alongside windows right?
[16:04] <keto> asd
[16:05] <ducasse> vanderberng: i would, in raid mode it might not work with linux
[16:05] <rafael> leftyfb: Well, I mean... the nightly from link you provided is 57. Stable from today is 58. I thought it would work.
[16:06] <leftyfb> rafael: that doesn't matter. If the feature isn't releases in stable yet, it stays in the nightlies for more testing. Any further support/discussion on the matter should be brought to Mozilla and their support channels
[16:06] <Budgii> vanderberng: "The restriction affects PCs sold with the "signature edition" of Windows 10."
[16:06] <vanderberng> ducasse, but i only have a SSD 120gb , is it still needed to change it?
[16:06] <Budgii> vanderberng, also do you have the yoga laptop?
[16:07] <vanderberng> ducasse,  but they told me ubuntu 17.10.1 supports ssd trim
[16:07] <ducasse> vanderberng: yes, i've seen this before . it needed to be in ahci mode to work
[16:07] <ducasse> vanderberng: trim is on by default
[16:07] <iresf> problem :  i installed ubuntu 18.04 on a laptop with radeon R5 graphic card    and then i install mesa on it after upgrading mouse click doese not  work but in recovery mode there is no problem
[16:07] <ducasse> !ubuntu+1 | iresf
[16:07] <leftyfb> iresf: please go to #ubuntu+1 for unreleased versions of ubuntu
[16:08] <vanderberng> +where do i change to ahci in the bio?
[16:08] <vanderberng> im already in the bio
[16:08] <vanderberng> so if i dont change it to ahci it wont let me to install ubuntu alongside windows?
[16:09] <Budgii> are you on the signature version of windows 10?
[16:09] <vanderberng> but Budgii told me i just have to do the same steps as with a hdd
[16:09] <ducasse> vanderberng: it might already be in ahci mode, just try
[16:09] <Budgii> Do you have a partition?
[16:09] <Budgii> It should be virtually the same
[16:09] <vanderberng> no i dont have any partitions created yet
[16:09] <Budgii> dont do it then..
[16:09] <vanderberng> i will do it with gparted
[16:09] <vanderberng> before installing ubuntu
[16:09] <Budgii> gotcha
[16:09] <ducasse> vanderberng: free up some space from windows, then try to install
[16:09] <Budgii> yeah just install on the partition
[16:10] <vanderberng> but what i want to know is , can i create partitions on SDD just like i was used to do in hdd
[16:10] <vanderberng> ?
[16:10] <vanderberng> as i said i have no clue about ssd
[16:10] <vanderberng> so im afraid to do something wrong
[16:10] <jimb_> vanderberng, unsure how you used to do it, but you should still be able to do the same. It's a storage device, just like the HDD
[16:10] <ducasse> vanderberng: yes, they behave the same
[16:11] <vanderberng> so , do i need to change it to ahci before?
[16:11] <Budgii> Yes it is the same, just runs faster than a mechanical harddrive. It's just like a car, it has a different engine but you can still drive it like normal. :)
[16:11] <jimb_> vanderberng, just-in-case you didn't know and this applies... please don't do any kind of defrag on the SSD, unless it's a tool from the manufacturer/etc
[16:11] <vanderberng> Budgii,  so i dont need to change it to ahci right?
[16:12] <keto> asd
[16:12] <vanderberng> u got u Budgii
[16:13] <ducasse> vanderberng: it most likely is in ahci mode already, but turn off intel srt if there is an option for it
[16:13] <Budgii> TBH I don't remember what ahci is, it sounds familiar though ha
[16:14] <vanderberng> http://forums.crucial.com/t5/Crucial-SSDs/Why-do-i-need-AHCI-with-a-SSD-Drive-Guide-Here-Crucial-AHCI-vs/td-p/57078
[16:14] <vanderberng> check it Budgii
[16:14] <Budgii> kk
[16:14] <mindsauce> ducasse : It seems my apt is broken. I can't use it at all. It says the package "gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad" has a dependency "libde265-0(>=0.8)". But I can't seem to do either an "apt-get -f install" or use apt-get to install the dependency i.e libde265. It's kind of a catch-22. What do I do ?
[16:15] <Budgii> vanderberng: "AHCI is fully supported out of the box for Microsoft Windows Vista and the Linux operating system from kernel 2.6.19. NetBSD also supports drivers in"
[16:15] <vanderberng> anyways Budgii  , u said u have SSD as well ,and u didnt change it to ahci mode
[16:15] <alazeo> I have a problem on booting where after grub it goes into an initframs console. I can't get the system to work correctly, Is there anyone that can help on this issue? I tried grub-repair which didnt repair it but did gave me system and boot information: https://paste.ubuntu.com/26451017/
[16:15] <vanderberng> and it worked well for u
[16:15] <leftyfb> mindsauce: what version of ubuntu are you running?
[16:15] <ducasse> mindsauce: try 'sudo dpkg --purge libde265' to remove the precise version you have now
[16:15] <mindsauce> Xenial
[16:15] <Budgii> vanderberng: yeah I didn't do anything special just installed it on a partition. :)
[16:16] <Budgii> Works like a charm
[16:16] <vanderberng> ok ducasse thanks for the info
[16:16] <leftyfb> mindsauce: mindsauce do you have the Universe repo enabled?
[16:16] <vanderberng> so i already disabled uefi
[16:16] <vanderberng> to lefacy mode
[16:17] <vanderberng> so i think i dont need to do anything else
[16:17] <vanderberng> right?
[16:17] <Budgii> Nice. What are you installing the .iso on?
[16:17] <ducasse> vanderberng: as i said, ahci is most likely the default already, so just try to install
[16:17] <Budgii> cd/usb?
[16:17] <vanderberng> on a pendrive
[16:17] <vanderberng> i already burned it
[16:17] <vanderberng> to a pendrive
[16:17] <ducasse> vanderberng: if windows is installed in uefi mode you need to install ubuntu in it as well
[16:18] <Budgii> cool. once you get it mounted just go to boot device order, f9 or escape on mine. then select the drive from the list and viola
[16:18] <vanderberng> im about to create a partition now
[16:18] <vanderberng> before
[16:18] <Budgii> w00t
[16:19] <vanderberng> i think its better to create the partitoin than creating it in the installation
[16:19] <vanderberng> no?
[16:19] <Budgii> That;s what I did.
[16:19] <mindsauce> leftyb: Yeah I think so
[16:19] <Budgii> create it then install on it.
[16:19] <vanderberng> one question
[16:20] <vanderberng> my sdd is 120gb , i want to have for windows as less space as possible
[16:20] <vanderberng> how much space should i keep for windows?
[16:20] <EriC^^> alazeo: does it mention anything before dropping to the initramfs?
[16:20] <vanderberng> the minimum
[16:20] <vanderberng> what should be a good minimum?
[16:20] <Budgii> Good question.. i'm sure there is a minimum option in there, not for certain though
[16:20] <Budgii> I think by default it wouldn't let you go any less.
[16:20] <Budgii> than it could.
[16:21] <vanderberng> i was thinking of keeping 20gb for windows
[16:21] <vanderberng> and the rest for ubuntu
[16:21] <Budgii> thats probably okay. will it let you?
[16:21] <vanderberng> the 100gb left
[16:21] <Budgii> "The partition must have at least 20 gigabytes (GB) of drive space for 64-bit versions, or 16 GB for 32-bit versions."
[16:21] <vanderberng> its 130 gb the ssd but u know it always has less than it is
[16:22] <vanderberng> around 126 or so
[16:22] <Budgii> should be good with 20.
[16:22] <vanderberng> btw , how should i move the taksbar of ubuntu
[16:23] <vanderberng> i mean , what would be the simple wa
[16:23] <vanderberng> way
[16:23] <vanderberng> to move it down
[16:23] <Budgii> move the taskbar?
[16:23] <Budgii> to the bottom like windows you mean?
[16:23] <mindsauce> ducasse : wow, thanks! That worked.
[16:23] <vanderberng> yes
[16:23] <Budgii> What version of linux again, sorry
[16:23] <leandro_> yes too
[16:23] <vanderberng> but the simplest possible way
[16:24] <vanderberng> 17
[16:24] <vanderberng> ubuntu
[16:24] <vanderberng> 17.10.1
[16:25] <ducasse> mindsauce: np, now let apt install -f clean it up, but remove the apt source for the precise ppa first
[16:25] <Budgii> run this command: sudo apt-move 'taskmgr' 1500=12*902132/bottom_end_totally_trolling
[16:25] <Budgii> try this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7x58p7h92Q
[16:25] <vanderberng> and a good way to make ubuntu look cooler?
[16:25] <vanderberng> without consumming so many recurces
[16:25] <Budgii> change your background
[16:25] <Budgii> lol
[16:25] <vanderberng> lol
[16:26] <vanderberng> well , this lenovo is powerful , dont care if it needs to waste a bit more of power
[16:26] <vanderberng> recurces
[16:26] <Budgii> I'm sure you can just change the color scheme.
[16:26] <Budgii> or theme.. what ever
[16:26] <vanderberng> but how was that software called to change everything
[16:27] <vanderberng> im outdated
[16:27] <Budgii> If you are referring to the video I didnt watch it
[16:27] <vanderberng> what video?
[16:27] <Budgii> vanderberng: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7x58p7h92Q
[16:27] <vanderberng> no , im not talking about any video , i mean a way to make it look cooler
[16:28] <Budgii> put ice cubes on it
[16:28] <mindsauce> ducasse: Yeah, did that, apt-get finally works. Thanks a lot. So, I have another question. I am trying to uninstall and reinstall R in my system. Should I just remove the r-base package alone or should I remove it's dependent packages as well ? Or should I purge it ?
[16:28] <vanderberng> yes , that is what i meant
[16:28] <vanderberng> there was a sofware who had it all
[16:28] <vanderberng> but cant remember the name
[16:28] <Budgii> Style is by perception my friend, only you can decide what is defined as 'cool'. :)
[16:29] <Budgii> Are you using an IRC program for this chat?
[16:29] <vanderberng> xchat
[16:29] <Budgii> Cool. I'm on HexChat, i've changed the colors and made a theme I like. Thats made it look cool to me.
[16:29] <ducasse> mindsauce: try with 'apt install --reinstall'
[16:30] <mindsauce> ducasse: Okay, will do.
[16:31] <vanderberng> so i am in gparted now
[16:31] <Joche> i use irssi
[16:31] <vanderberng> should i click on rezise the partition from windows?
[16:31] <vanderberng> of windows
[16:32] <Budgii> Are you booted into windows
[16:32] <Joche> i use an old laptop and it work very fine
[16:32] <vanderberng> and create another one for the linux swap?
[16:33] <vanderberng> how much for the linux swap ? 2gb?
[16:33] <Budgii> No idea man. i didn't do anything with that haha
[16:33] <Budgii> sounds fair
[16:33] <ducasse> vanderberng: you don't need a partition for swap, it will set up a swapfile by default
[16:33] <vanderberng> i guess u did it all form the ubuntu installation
[16:33] <vanderberng> right?
[16:33] <Joche> what is the RAM of you pc
[16:33] <Budgii> Correct
[16:34] <Budgii> 6GB here Joche.
[16:34] <Joche> 2GB is good enough
[16:34] <vanderberng> ducasse,  , the thing is that i am running ubuntu from the pendrive to open gparted and create the needed partitions
[16:34] <Budgii> Yeah 2GB works great on some OS's
[16:34] <vanderberng> or should i just run the installation?
[16:34] <Budgii> Joche, there are some flavors that can run on 128mb of ram
[16:34] <Joche> i use that in my 8GB pc
[16:35] <Joche> yes
[16:35] <Joche> Try damn small linux
[16:35] <ducasse> vanderberng: just run the installer, it will set up a swapfile for you
[16:36] <vanderberng> ducasse, but i dont have any partition but the windows one , should i just click on install alongside windows?
[16:37] <Budgii> I thought you made a partition 100gb?
[16:37] <vanderberng> no i was about to do that
[16:37] <vanderberng> but ducasse  told me to just run the installatio
[16:37] <ducasse> vanderberng: yes, just let the installer do the rest
[16:38] <Joche> it is very useful
[16:38] <vanderberng> Joche, damn small linux?
[16:38] <vanderberng> never tried
[16:38] <Joche> the installer should do everything fine, just choose how much diskspace you need
[16:41] <vanderberng> should i mark , dowload updates while installing ubuntu? and install thiird parties?
[16:42] <Budgii> I did.
[16:42] <vanderberng> do u guys ever mark it before installing?
[16:42] <vanderberng> third parties too ?
[16:42] <Budgii> I did, I think its just some basic plugins and stuff,  but not for sure.
[16:43] <oerheks> it is an option, saves some time too
[16:44] <vanderberng> why the ubuntu installation doesnt let me set it below 30gb for the windows patition?
[16:45] <vanderberng> my windows installation is clean, it takes like 15 gb
[16:45] <vanderberng> so why doesnt let me set it in 20?
[16:45] <Budgii> is it 32bit windows?
[16:45] <oerheks> i would let windows decrease the partition.
[16:45] <Joche> move the slide to the desired amount of space, it should be enough
[16:46] <vanderberng> thats what i did Joche  but it doesnt let me to put it in less than 30gb
[16:46] <Budgii> Probably what it needs then.
[16:46] <Joche> maybe you are take too much sapace for windows to run properly
[16:47] <oerheks> if the installer lets you do that, up to 15 gb, people complain about no space free
[16:47] <vanderberng> how much can take the resize operation in a ssd?
[16:47] <vanderberng> should it be faster than in hdd?
[16:47] <Budgii> I wouldn't think long, but should be faster as it's an SSD.
[16:48] <Joche> i dont know but in my HDD it is pretty fast
[16:48] <Joche> and it is an old acer that used to run windows vista
[16:48] <vanderberng> it was really fast
[16:49] <vanderberng> in sdd its fast as fuck
[16:49] <Joche> hehehe
[16:49] <oerheks> vanderberng, no need for that language, keep this channel family friendly, thanks
[16:49] <Joche> from now it must be easy
[16:50] <vanderberng> sorry
[16:52] <vanderberng> where are you all from
[16:52] <Joche> im from spain
[16:52] <Joche> tenerife
[16:53] <Joche> sorry for my english
[16:53] <vanderberng> im from the netherlands
[16:53] <vanderberng> amsterdam
[16:54] <vanderberng> where is most people here from?
[16:55] <EriC^^> i'd say europe
[16:55] <morsnowski> home
[16:55] <maxime_> Belgium here
[16:55] <vanderberng> id say america?
[16:55] <morsnowski> rather Europe
[16:55] <morsnowski> germany here
[16:55] <en1gma> how can you tell in ubuntu 16.04 x86_64 Desktop to see which usb is in use? say i plug my mouse receiver into each of my laptops 4 ports. how can i tell which are usb 3.0 and which are usb 2.0
[16:55] <morsnowski> lsusb
[16:56] <en1gma> i looked at that
[16:56] <en1gma> 'lsusb -v'
[16:56] <vanderberng> so where are most ubuntu volunteers from?
[16:56] <vanderberng> europe?
[16:56] <xplora1a> Europe,,, Bollaks to brexit
[16:56] <Joche> usb 3.0 is blue colored
[16:56] <EriC^^> en1gma: usb 3.0 ports usually say "SS" next to them or something, and they look different and are blue sometimes
[16:56] <Budgii> sometimes it says on the computer itself next to the port.
[16:56] <oerheks> en1gma, basicly usb3 has a blue plastic inside
[16:56] <Budgii> I think you're right Joche
[16:56] <leftyfb> en1gma: lsusb -t
[16:56] <en1gma> lemme try that
[16:56] <leftyfb> en1gma: 5000M is usb 3.0

[16:57] <sine0> hey guys what differences are there between the server and desktop verison of ubuntu, only reason I ask is that i have server on usb, installed to a server etc and I was thinking of putting it onto my laptop
[16:57] <leftyfb> en1gma: 480M is usb 2.0
[16:57] <leftyfb> sine0: a desktop
[16:57] <vanderberng> i am done
[16:57] <leftyfb> sine0: more details, an installed desktop
[16:57] <Budgii> Glad to hear it vanderberng
[16:57] <ducasse> gollem: look in /etc/apt/sources.list.d as well
[16:58] <EriC^^> gollem: can you pastebin /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* too?
[16:58] <vanderberng> it was easier than i expected
[16:58] <Budgii> Indeed. :)
[16:58] <vanderberng> i got scared about what ive read about sdd
[16:58] <leftyfb> gollem: ppa's go into separate files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
[16:58] <Joche> me ale gro muchaaaacho
[16:58] <Joche> congrats
[16:58] <vanderberng> Budgii, is there any way to change the gub?
[16:58] <en1gma> leftyfb ahh ok (480M) thanks
[16:58] <vanderberng> grub
[16:59] <Joche> now you're one of us
[16:59] <gollem> ducasse: So, I just delete/comment out files in sources.list.d that contain the name "precise" ? Will that work ?
[16:59] <Joche> one of us one of us...
[16:59] <cesco969> ciao
[16:59] <vanderberng> i mean , to set a nicer grub
[16:59] <cesco969> !list
[16:59] <vanderberng> is there any way?
[16:59] <EriC^^> vanderberng: there's a grub-customizer package, give it a shot
[16:59] <vanderberng> ok bro
[16:59] <ducasse> gollem: or use ppa-purge
[17:00] <vanderberng> is it for removing the grub?
[17:00] <Joche> i got to go now
[17:00] <vanderberng> or?
[17:00] <Joche> bye
[17:00] <vanderberng> bye
[17:00] <EriC^^> vanderberng: it lets you customize some stuff, i think
[17:01] <EriC^^> https://launchpad.net/~danielrichter2007/+archive/ubuntu/grub-customizer
[17:01] <BluesKaj> also you can  the GRUB_BACKROUND=/pathtoj.pg  to add aa nice picture backaground , vanderberng
[17:01] <BluesKaj> add the line
[17:01] <EriC^^> *GRUB_BACKGROUND
[17:02] <vanderberng> Budgii, are u there
[17:02] <gollem> ducasse:  Sorry if this is a dumb question but if I use ppa-purge, how will I know exactly which ones to delete ?
[17:02] <vanderberng> can u please send me the command to move the taskbar
[17:02] <alazeo> When booting and selecting my os in grub the startup drops to the initframs shell. From here I can't get my system working. I tried grup-repair help which didnt work but gave me the following boot/system information: https://paste.ubuntu.com/26451017/
[17:02] <vanderberng> i cant scroll the chat upper
[17:02] <vanderberng> i lost the old messages
[17:03] <oerheks> vanderberng, explore system settings > dock
[17:04] <BluesKaj> EriC^^, my eyes aren't very good today, didn't see that mistake
[17:04] <jimb_> vanderberng, I think you said you were using xchat. You may want to check in Settings, Preferences, Logging... and enable logging.
[17:04] <vanderberng> thanks  oerheks
[17:04] <vanderberng> done
[17:04] <oerheks> and gnome-tweak-tool is another fine app
[17:04] <EriC^^> BluesKaj: :)
[17:05] <oerheks> !info gnome-tweak-tool
[17:05] <ducasse> gollem: any that are for precise, at least
[17:06] <vanderberng> oerheks,  thanks i remember that one , is there any other one for look options
[17:06] <vanderberng> to put cubes and all that
[17:07] <gollem> So, for example, there's a file in sources.list.d called docker.list.save which contains "deb https://apt.dockerproject.org/repo ubuntu-precise main". I should totally delete this and other such files right ? Or would it cause problems when I use, say, docker in the future ?
[17:08] <EriC^^> gollem: some packages could get updated in the future, and for instance something breaks, better to replace the ppa's with the newer xenial ones
[17:09] <vanderberng> btw how can i move the position of "show application"
[17:09] <vanderberng> to the left side
[17:09] <vanderberng> i can move mozilla icon and all those applications but cant move "show applications" to left side
[17:10] <vanderberng> can i move it all with gnome tweak?
[17:11] <gollem> EriC^^:  And how do I go about replacing the precise ppa's with xenial ones ? Do I do it individually for each file in sources.list.d ? Or is there a more efficient/safe way of doing this ?
[17:12] <EriC^^> gollem: you could use ppa-purge to remove the old ppa's, ppa-purge presumably removes the ppa ones and replaces them by the standard ubuntu repo ones, then install the newer ppa's if you'd like, or you could just remove the ppa.list file and replace it with newer xenial ppa without purging first
[17:15] <gollem> EriC^^: Thanks. I'll try doing that with ppa-purge.
[17:15] <EriC^^> option #1 is cleaner and less prone to breaking if ppa-purge works correctly
[17:17] <vanderberng> idk why i cant search for apps in software
[17:17] <RandomUser1513> ok i am in need of assistance: dualboot windows 10 ubutnu 16.04. after a windows update ubuntu is having problems: the login screen appreas, but upon logging in first we did only get the backround with a flashing error messge "System program problem detected". What we did so far after googling is installing ubuntu-desktop, unity, nvidia drivers and, since after doing that we are in a login loop and not a total crash anymore rei
[17:17] <RandomUser1513> however the login-loop still is happening, and i am not sure how to continue.
[17:18] <EriC^^> gollem: i should mention ppa-purge usually works with launchpad ppa's, i've written a small script that let's it remove other ppa's, i've tested it quite a bit but use at your own risk nevertheless
[17:20] <gollem> EriC^^: That's cool. I guess I could try using it ?
[17:20] <EriC^^> RandomUser1513: can you try logging in, then check /var/log/Xorg.0.log and pastebin the results somewhere?
[17:21] <rreck_> anyone have an idea how to remove first and last characters from a file from the command line
[17:21] <RandomUser1513> i am not sure how we would be able to pastebin from the terminal. since there is a login-loop with lightdm she only can access the system over CTRL+ALT+F1, but i will let her make a screenshot of it
[17:21] <gollem> EriC^^: Can you PM me the script ?
[17:22] <EriC^^> gollem: wget -O /tmp/ppa-tool.sh http://termbin.com/u9xw
[17:24] <EriC^^> RandomUser1513: "cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | nc termbin.com 9999" let's you paste from the terminal
[17:25] <EriC^^> gollem: the ppa sources have to be enabled for it to get the list of packages to know what packages to remove and whatnot
[17:25] <EriC^^> so you'd need to enable them and run apt-get update then purge the ppas
[17:26] <EriC^^> also ppa-purge has to be installed, sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
[17:28] <gollem> EriC^^: Yeah, ppa-purge is installed. By "ppa sources have to be enabled", do you mean Ubuntu Main and such ?
[17:28] <EriC^^> gollem: no i mean the ppa .list ones, like deb ppa ...precise without a "#" at the start
[17:29] <gollem> EriC^^: Ahh okay, my bad
[17:30] <RandomUser1513> EriC http://termbin.com/llpm
[17:31] <Budgii> vandenberng: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7x58p7h92Q
[17:31] <Budgii> vanderberng i mean, vandenberng
[17:31] <EriC^^> RandomUser1513: anything in "sudo grep -iE 'nvidia|error' /var/log/kern.log" ?
[17:31] <Budgii> lol fail, there is your link to move the task bar
[17:32] <EriC^^> gollem: "/tmp/ppa-tool.sh -la" should list all active and disabled ppa's you have another ppa in /etc/apt/sources.list at the bottom though
[17:33] <EriC^^> gollem: i'd say try to enable them temporarily, and only run apt-get update to fetch the list of packages, then run ppa-purge to get rid of them
[17:34] <EriC^^> RandomUser1513: it says (EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module-specific error, 0) are you sure the nvidia package is the one for the card?
[17:36] <RandomUser1513> EriC we did install nvidia-current, i assume it would install a fitting one?
[17:37] <pooe4> Hi guys
[17:37] <pooe4> when you delete files from an external hd using a linux live cd, the files are permenetly deleted right?
[17:38] <pooe4> Or can they be recovered? I want to securly delete the files on my external hd so they cant be recovered
[17:38] <BluesKaj> !shred
[17:39] <BluesKaj> !info shred
[17:39] <ducasse> shred is in coreutils
[17:44] <vanderberng> can u tell me a good screen recorder for ubuntu
[17:45] <vanderberng> simple screen recorder doesnt work for me , it records all the screen black
[17:45] <doux> If I were to install a .deb package that is the same as the ubuntu repository, using gdebi, would apt-get treat that package the same as if I had installed it with apt-get install to begin with?
[17:45] <doux> When I do an apt-get upgrade?
[17:46] <EriC^^> vanderberng: recordmydesktop
[17:47] <nacc> doux: define 'same'? as in you downloaded it?
[17:47] <nacc> doux: apt-get doesn't really care about wher eyou get debs from, it is purely looking at versions
[17:47] <vanderberng> after u add a repository doux
[17:47] <ducasse> doux: yes, it will still get updated if a newer version becomes available in the repos
[17:47] <vanderberng> ah ok i read update instead
[17:48] <doux> nacc: Yes, same version as repository. So only the version matters then? It checks everytime I guess...
[17:48] <nacc> doux: right
[17:48] <vanderberng> eric
[17:48] <nacc> doux: you can see this with `apt-cache policy`
[17:48] <nacc> (passing a package name)
[17:48] <vanderberng> have u ever used OBS?
[17:48] <vanderberng> is it good?
[17:48] <nacc> !tab | vanderberng
[17:48] <EriC^^> vanderberng: yes, it is sick
[17:48] <doux> nacc, ducasse, vanderberng, thanks peopele!
[17:48] <doux> people
[17:48] <EriC^^> vanderberng: it's very heavy duty, and awesome
[17:48] <vanderberng> i guess its more advanced
[17:50] <EriC^^> if you're desktop is showing a visualization or something graphically intense it can still capture it nicely
[17:50] <EriC^^> recordmydesktop kind of sucks for that, anything else its great
[17:52] <lucie_> hello
[17:52] <lucie_> life is easy
[17:52] <byteskrew> hello
[17:55] <RandomUser1513> ok, with nvidia drivers we get a login-loop and with the noveau drivers it is simply a pink screen after login with a flickering error message.
[17:55] <EriC^^> RandomUser1513: what shows in /var/log/Xorg.0.log with the nouveau drivers?
[18:01] <RandomUser1513> EriC^^: termbin.com/wm6j also the console puts out a PCIe Bus Error now
[18:03] <EriC^^> holy frick that's a long xorg log file, it used up all of termbin's buffer :O
[18:04] <EriC^^> RandomUser1513: i feel like these are the important lines, (EE) Unknown chipset: NV126 , EE) modeset(0): glamor initialization failed
[18:06] <RandomUser1513> EriC^^: well NV126 stands for the 950/960. considering the PCIe error the terminal displays, could it be a harware issue?
[18:06] <hanetzer> question: does there exist a repo kernel for ubuntu with the needed acpi debugging options enabled?
[18:07] <EriC^^> RandomUser1513: what error does it show?
[18:07] <EriC^^> RandomUser1513: i think there's a software issue for sure
[18:07] <EriC^^> RandomUser1513: is it a gtx960?
[18:08] <EriC^^> RandomUser1513: try to update the kernel to a post 4.6 kernel
[18:08] <N00d1e5> Hello :)
[18:09] <EriC^^> RandomUser1513: are you running an lts ubuntu?
[18:09] <anastasia_> downsizing
[18:09] <RandomUser1513> EriC^^: yes, it is 16.04
[18:10] <EriC^^> RandomUser1513: try installing the hwe stack packages
[18:10] <N00d1e5> Do you guys know which version of Ubuntu has gcc-4 by defaut?
[18:10] <EriC^^> !hwe | RandomUser1513
[18:10] <hanetzer> N00d1e5: an older one, that's for sure. why?
[18:11] <N00d1e5> @hanetzer I'm trying to compile the Android kernel goldfish, gcc-5 does not support…
[18:11] <kn1000> As of today, I am getting random 404 NOT FOUND errors when trying to run sudo apt-get upgrade on Zesty - I see it was EOL'd yesterday
[18:12] <N00d1e5> If I remove the gcc, and install gcc-4.7. There gonna be a ERR MSG:  bin sh: 1: gcc: not found
[18:12] <EriC^^> kn1000: upgrade to artful
[18:12] <hanetzer> N00d1e5: doesn't android have their own build stack which handles all that for you?
[18:12] <EriC^^> !eolupgrades | kn1000 give it a look
[18:13] <N00d1e5> the goldfish was came out in the year (about) 2012, so at that moment everything works for that with a simple make.
[18:13] <N00d1e5> *worked
[18:14] <hanetzer> N00d1e5: prolly try 12.04, then.
[18:14] <N00d1e5> ok Tks
[18:18] <RandomUser1513> ubottu: EriC^^ That seems to have done the the trick
[18:18] <EriC^^> great!
[18:18] <al_mahdi> Hi..!
[18:18] <RandomUser1513> thank you very much to the help...now to fix whatever happened to grub that it started instantly booting ubuntu
[18:19] <EriC^^> RandomUser1513: try 'sudo update-grub' and see if it picks up windows
[18:19] <EriC^^> no problem
[18:20] <RandomUser1513> it does pick it up, it just fr some reason developed the habit to only wait a second. but that is a problem for another day
[18:21] <EriC^^> RandomUser1513: try 'grep TIMEOUT /boot/grub/grub.cfg' it's easy to fix
[18:21] <EriC^^> RandomUser1513: sorry, 'grep TIMEOUT /etc/default/grub'
[18:23] <yetoo> How does one install mainline kernels on an ubuntu virtualbox guest?
[18:23] <EriC^^> !mainline | yetoo take a look here
[18:24] <yetoo> I know, but how do you turn off the virtualbox modules and various other modules
[18:24] <yetoo> because when I try to install the linux-image deb, it fails to generate
[18:24] <EriC^^> yetoo: are you installing the headers first? they're needed for dkms to make the modules
[18:25] <yetoo> yes
[18:25] <nacc> it's relatively likely that vbox modules won't build with mainline kernels
[18:25] <nacc> happens during every release, afaict
[18:25] <nacc> if you don't need the vbox modules, you can uninstall them with dkms, i think
[18:28] <skinux> Is Ubuntu 17 an LTS?
[18:28] <yetoo> No 18.04 is
[18:28] <skinux> Is 18.04 out?
[18:29] <skinux> Don't answer that
[18:29] <skinux> I should upgrade to 17 so that I can upgrade quicker to 18.04 when it comes out.
[18:30] <skinux> Is there a 16.10?
[18:30] <siva_machina> it is no longer supported skinux
[18:31] <siva_machina> there is a 16.04
[18:31] <nemo> and 14.04 which is what I'm still using 😉
[18:31] <nemo> (plus several PPAs to make it usable 😝 )
[18:32] <skinux> Wait. How do I find out which version I'm using?
[18:33] <ducasse> skinux: lsb_release -a
[18:33] <hanetzer> skinux: /etc/os-release, or that ^
[18:33] <skinux> I'm on 16.04
[18:33] <hanetzer> so, 18.04 is gonna be gnome default, right?
[18:33] <nicomachus> then stick with that
[18:33] <nicomachus> hanetzer: yes
[18:33] <skinux> So, 16.04 will be a direct upgrade to 18?
[18:33] <nicomachus> skinux: yes
[18:34] <hanetzer> nice. I'm not really a fan of gnome, but I like it better than unity
[18:34] <nemo> hanetzer: Mate 😉
[18:34] <siva_machina> Ubuntu-Mate
[18:34] <skinux> Thanks
[18:34] <hanetzer> nemo: aware of it, its pretty nice as well :)
[18:34] <nicomachus> hanetzer: lots of choices out there.
[18:35] <hanetzer> nicomachus: yep. to be frank I'm only using ubuntu right now for the sake of having a 'baseline' linux distro to test my coreboot port on
[18:35] <nemo> hanetzer: I tend to do MATE w/ a single permanent 24px panel along the top, and a larger slideout one on the left hand side w/ quickaccess stuff.
[18:35] <cnnx> .val 0.00801873 ltc cad
[18:35] <cnnx> sorry wrong channel
[18:36] <nicomachus> nemo: that sounds like gnome setup
[18:36] <nicomachus> my gnome setup**
[18:36] <nemo> hanetzer: I'd say about half my machines are still ubuntu.  rest is ¼ devuan ¼ gentoo
[18:36] <Gopal> Ubuntu 17.10 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mDDqkNP9i0Xn5l2qAzlTM48-H2EDHqrq/view?usp=drivesdk
[18:36] <hanetzer> nemo: heh. the only machine I have under active use is gentoo :)
[18:36] <Gopal> I am getting black screen only and when I login to shell I get above msg
[18:37] <Gopal> And it was qorking fine yesterday
[18:37] <hanetzer> Gopal: huh. weird. on a side note, says you have an hp notebook; what kind? :P
[18:37] <nemo> hanetzer: I'm typing this right now from my gentoo machine.  I converted it from mandrake linux in 2002 ☺  But, I like the wide support of ubuntu and ease of setup (usually - it's gotten worse lately it seems, although 14.04 is still pretty reliable)
[18:38] <nicomachus> let's stay on-topic please hanetzer and nemo
[18:38] <nicomachus> ubuntu support only in this channel. head to #ubuntu-offtopic for anything else.
[18:38] <Gopal> What should I do?
[18:38] <nicomachus> Gopal: looking
[18:40] <nicomachus> Gopal: did you machine have an update that was interrupted or anything?
[18:40] <Gopal> Idk
[18:41] <Gopal> I dont think so
[18:43] <nicomachus> Gopal: from that command line you ahve there, can you try "sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 9999"
[18:43] <nicomachus> should give you a link. just paste that link here.
[18:44] <leftyfb> Gopal: I'm going to go with a bad drive. It says Read-only filesystem. Type: dmesg        If you see ATA or IO errors, it's a bad drive
[18:44] <nicomachus> leftyfb: I'm afraid the boot flag got removed from the main drive
[18:44] <nicomachus> would at least mean a fixable issue and not hardware problems.
[18:45] <leftyfb> nicomachus: except it boots
[18:45] <yetoo> I found that dpkg or something screwed up my linux kernels because I'm trying to uninstall 4.13.0-25 headers and all and I'm getting dpkg errors.
[18:45] <leftyfb> nicomachus: I don't see where you're seeing any issues with boot
[18:45] <leftyfb> nicomachus: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mDDqkNP9i0Xn5l2qAzlTM48-H2EDHqrq/view?usp=drivesdk
[18:45] <s10gopal> nicomachus: name or server not known
[18:46] <yetoo> apt-get install -f and dpkg --configure -a both come out with an error that is encountered during processing
[18:46] <nicomachus> leftyfb: if the boot flag go moved to another partition or drive with an NTFS filesystem or something similar, could happen.
[18:46] <nicomachus> s10gopal: do you have internet connection on it?
[18:47] <leftyfb> nicomachus: what could happen? The filesystem goes read-only? Why does the running filesystem care about a boot flag?
[18:47] <Gopal> Yes
[18:47] <nicomachus> s10gopal: if so, "sudo apt install pastebinit" then "sudo parted -l | pastebinit"
[18:47] <nicomachus> leftyfb: doesn't hurt to check, so just gimme a second here if you don't mind
[18:48] <leftyfb> Gopal: type dmesg
[18:48] <leftyfb> Gopal: do you see any errors at the end? Either mentioning ATA or I/O ?
[18:48] <leftyfb> or sense key or something
[18:50] <Gopal> https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XN0ZrWnBFDA80fHx3tmOXULjpB8U1wpB/view?usp=drivesdk
[18:51] <s10gopal> i am getting this error
[18:51] <nicomachus> so it's not resolving domains. super.
[18:51] <nicomachus> just do "sudo parted -l" and take a picture like you've done, I suppose
[18:51] <s10gopal> very long list come
[18:52] <s10gopal> s
[18:52] <leftyfb> nicomachus: he's got a read-only filesystem. I think that's the bigger issue than networking
[18:52] <s10gopal> i cant get whole in a pic
[18:52] <nicomachus> leftyfb: fine, all yours.
[18:52] <leftyfb> s10gopal: touch ~/file
[18:53] <leftyfb> s10gopal: do you get any error doing tha?
[18:53] <leftyfb> that*
[18:53] <s10gopal> ad only file system
[18:53] <s10gopal> read only file system
[18:53] <Chenpan> Hi, I just encrypted my drive through luks with filling one user key slot with an unlocking method, i took a backup of the header, then i added another user key slot with another method, is it a good idea to back up the header again and delete the old bback up?
[18:54] <leftyfb> s10gopal: sudo mount -o remount,rw /
[18:54] <leftyfb> s10gopal: then try touch again
[18:54] <s10gopal> type this ? "sudo mount -o remount,rw /" ?
[18:54] <leftyfb> s10gopal: correct
[18:55] <s10gopal> worked
[18:55] <leftyfb> s10gopal: type dmesg again
[18:56] <leftyfb> see if there were any errors remounting/writing
[18:56] <s10gopal> yes
[18:56] <leftyfb> s10gopal: If you see errors, can you take another picture?
[18:56] <s10gopal> yes sure
[18:57] <hanetzer> woof. building your own kernel via dpkg takes a bit. prolly due to all the modules being built which I don't use and generally slower cpu, but still
[18:58] <Gopal> https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Yvw109j070HgIrGeYNZdNypdVO81MZMD/view?usp=drivesdk
[18:58] <s10gopal> leftyfb:
[18:58] <leftyfb> Gopal: nah, no drive errors there
[18:58] <s10gopal> reboot?
[18:59] <leftyfb> s10gopal: grep " /  " /etc/fstab
[19:00] <s10gopal> error=remount-ro 0

[19:00] <leftyfb> ok, so no reason it should be read-only
[19:00] <leftyfb> s10gopal: maybe just try rebooting
[19:01] <s10gopal> still black screen
[19:01] <s10gopal> and reboot

[19:02] <s10gopal> black screen
[19:02] <s10gopal> leftyfb: black screen
[19:03] <leftyfb> s10gopal: can you hit CTRL+ALT+F2 and get to a console?
[19:03] <s10gopal> yes
[19:03] <leftyfb> s10gopal: can you verify if it's read-only again?
[19:04] <s10gopal> how?
[19:04] <leftyfb> s10gopal: touch ~/file
[19:04] <s10gopal> read only file system
[19:05] <leftyfb> s10gopal: time to start looking through dmesg and syslog
[19:05] <s10gopal> leftyfb: ok , how
[19:05] <leftyfb> s10gopal: gotta peruse /var/log/syslog or dmesg|less  and look for when and why it went read-only

[19:08] <doled> hi
[19:08] <leftyfb> nicomachus: I'm not against checking that, but can you explain to me what a boot flag has to do with the os successfully booting but read-only?
[19:09] <Gopal> https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RpJaAgRZMKv0jQ-AQvtNP5VOYP1nOdvW/view?usp=drivesdk
[19:09] <s10gopal>  is very long list?
[19:09] <doled> yea
[19:10] <ircfan> hello, where would be the right place to ask questions and discuss the published articles from insights.ubuntu.com?
[19:10] <s10gopal>  is very long list , how can i copy it to a pendrive ?
[19:10] <s10gopal> and upload it using other system
[19:10] <doled> i dont know
[19:10] <leftyfb> s10gopal: both the syslog and dmesg will be very long. You should just look through them and look for anything that looks like a drive error or where it might have gone read-onlu
[19:10] <nicomachus> leftyfb: https://askubuntu.com/questions/827365/ubuntustudio-16-04-refusing-to-boot-message-about-nonexistent-directories
[19:11] <s10gopal> can i copy that file to a pendrive ?
[19:12] <leftyfb> s10gopal: if you like, sure
[19:12] <s10gopal> how?
[19:12] <leftyfb> s10gopal: but again, I would just scroll through it and look for what I mentioned above
[19:13] <s10gopal> leftyfb: i cant understand it
[19:15] <leftyfb> s10gopal: better yet, at this point, I would boot with an ubuntu live usb and run either fsck in a terminal or I think the disks util has a disk check util
[19:15] <deadrom> heya
[19:16] <deadrom> irc's so silent, was there a netsplit..?
[19:17] <s10gopal> leftyfb: dirty it is set, and remove dirty bit
[19:17] <s10gopal> and i am getting ? sign
[19:17] <leftyfb> s10gopal: you do NOT run fsck on your running and especially read-only filesystem
[19:17] <leftyfb> s10gopal: you need to run it from a live cd/usb
[19:17] <s10gopal> ok
[19:19] <s10gopal> check disk for defects ?
[19:19] <leftyfb> from a live cd/usb, yes
[19:20] <s10gopal> finished no error found
[19:20] <s10gopal> ress any key to reboot your system
[19:20] <s10gopal> reboot?
[19:20] <leftyfb> s10gopal: this is from a live cd/usb?
[19:20] <s10gopal> yes
[19:20] <leftyfb> hm, never see it ask to reboot after checking
[19:21] <leftyfb> not with the disks util
[19:21] <s10gopal>  i was getting try ubuntu , install ubuntu ome and check disk for defects
[19:21] <leftyfb> ah
[19:21] <leftyfb> s10gopal: boot back into your OS, get to a terminal and start looking through syslog and dmesg for when/why it went read-only
[19:22] <s10gopal> can i copy the logs to a pendrive ?
[19:22] <s10gopal> and i will paste it
[19:22] <leftyfb> s10gopal: You were already told you can.
[19:22] <s10gopal> how?
[19:22] <leftyfb> s10gopal: plug in flash drive, mount flash drive, copy syslog to flash drive, unmount flash drive
[19:23] <s10gopal> how to mount and copy ?
[19:24] <Avirachan> Hi, I run Ubuntu 17.10 on Gnome wayland session and cannot use ibus input system in neither wayland nor Xorg sessions. I already reported this as a bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ibus/+bug/1737618
[19:24] <leftyfb> s10gopal: I apologize, but you'll have to ask someone else here how to do that. I'll look through your logs when you get them but at the moment I don't have time to help you copying the files to your flash drive.
[19:25] <s10gopal> how to copy logs to usbdrive using shell ?

[19:26] <arun007> Hello I want my Network settings to be like this. But the changes get lost each time I reconnect my internet https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/mFf19fqB/Before.png
[19:31] <MWM> I need a reccomendation on a hex editor.  Im looking specifically to be able to highlight offset and other areas of hex and have the editor rember the changes.  Its called color mapping in the WIndows editor I have been using...
[19:31] <MWM> I cant seem to find one for ubuntu though
[19:34] <MWM> nobody here today?
[19:36] <jimb_> MWM, I have used Bless in the past, unsure if it offers what you seek
[19:37] <MWM> if Bless does that then I cant find it .  Seems like none of the linux editors do
[19:37] <jimb_> WinHex is what I used at a previous employer, but last I knew they didn't offer a Linux version.
[19:40] <MWM> Im using one called Hex Workshop on Windows, but Id like to be able to just move over to Linux with my project. Trying to adjust the memory straps on my GPU and would like to be able to highligh the start and endpoints...
[19:40] <MWM> I didnt think that would be a tall order for Ubuntu
[19:41] <jimb_> Have you tried okteta ?
[19:41] <MWM> tall order for linux in general it seems.  There is no shortage of hex editors... just not ones that have that tiny thing I am looking for
[19:42] <fishie> every time I add a launcher in the Ubuntu menu editor, it appears in the menu, but when I close the menu editor and reopen it, what I created isn't shown there. how do I delete them? I have like 4 extra entries that don't work.
[19:42] <MWM> I couldnt find how to make okteta do that either :/
[19:46] <MWM> fishie: http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2016/04/install-grub-customizer-ubuntu-16-04-lts/  <-- would this help?
[19:46] <fishie> MWM it's not Grub, it's a menu editor for the Ubuntu desktop UI menu.
[19:47] <s10gopal> Mull device registered ?
[19:47] <s10gopal> Leftfb
[19:47] <nacc> s10gopal: use tab to nick complete
[19:47] <jimb_> MWM, last try... wxHexEditor? I installed it and am looking for the preference/setting that might enable this
[19:47] <nacc> leftyfb: --^ is who you were trying to ping
[19:48] <s10gopal> I am using mobile
[19:49] <s10gopal> Nacc can you teach me how to mount use and copy log using shell?
[19:49] <s10gopal> https://drive.google.com/file/d/15oNH_zdYi0X7jQ6sXNLuBxyULP9N93We/view?usp=drivesdk
[19:49] <nacc> s10gopal: what does mount have to do with copyiung the log?
[19:50] <s10gopal> Black screen on ubuntu
[19:50] <fishie> where do I put .sh files?
[19:50] <nacc> fishie: wherever you want?
[19:50] <jimb_> MWM, you can use the tag panel in wxHexEditor to accomplish what you want, I believe.
[19:50] <s10gopal> Plz see this https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mDDqkNP9i0Xn5l2qAzlTM48-H2EDHqrq/view?usp=drivesdk
[19:50] <MWM> I havent tried wxHex yet, I dont know why but I was just hoping for a "native" solution.  I figured there would be one that I hadnt found yet
[19:51] <rpage> hi
[19:51] <fishie> nacc back in DOS there was a series of folders it would look to execute programs. what is that in Ubuntu? where's a good place to put .sh files?
[19:51] <MWM> Ill give wxHex a spin.  Thanks jimb_ ! :D
[19:51] <nacc> fishie: echo $PATH
[19:51] <nacc> fishie: is where the shell looks
[19:51] <rpage> what is the latest kernel release for ubuntu that address Meltdown and Spectre Processor Vulnerability
[19:51] <nacc> fishie: typically you put them in ~/bin and make sure they are in your path
[19:51] <leftyfb> nacc: he's running 17.04. On boot the drive is going read-only. An fsck shows nothing. No errors if we remount r/w and write to the drive. I told s10gopal to look through dmesg and syslog but he wants to copy them to a flash drive for us to look at since he doesn't know what he's looking for.
[19:52] <nacc> rpage: #ubuntu-hardened
[19:52] <jimb_> MWM, You are welcome. Once you start, go to prefs and set your language (seems to be empty on initial run)... then View -> TAG Panel... then you can highlight sections, right-click and 'quick tag' (or make your own tag name)
[19:52] <s10gopal> Left plz check I found something
[19:52] <nacc> leftyfb: ah
[19:52] <leftyfb> nacc: I've got a bit of a crisis I'm dealing with at work and probably going to go home early to lay down since I can't seem to get rid of this splitting headache
[19:52] <fishie> oh wow $PATH just like the old DOS days. I didn't even remember that's what it was called. hahah.
[19:52] <fishie> nacc, thanks.
[19:52] <nacc> fishie: yw
[19:52] <s10gopal> https://drive.google.com/file/d/15oNH_zdYi0X7jQ6sXNLuBxyULP9N93We/view?usp=drivesdk
[19:52] <nacc> leftyfb: ok, i'm a bit in the weeds myself right now :)
[19:54] <leftyfb> s10gopal: EXT4-fs (sda2): re-mounted. Opts: errors=remount-ro
[19:54] <leftyfb> s10gopal: that's not an error
[19:54] <s10gopal> How to figure it put?
[19:55] <s10gopal> Null device
[19:55] <fishie> nacc does the answer for where .sh files should go change if it's for running a game through Wine?
[19:55] <EriC^^> s10gopal: what does '/etc/fstab' have?
[19:55] <s10gopal> I dont know
[19:55] <EriC^^> s10gopal: try 'cat /etc/fstab'
[19:56] <leftyfb> s10gopal: that's a benign message about either a keyboard or mouse/trackpad. It can be ignored.
[19:56] <leftyfb> EriC^^: <s10gopal> error=remount-ro 0 1
[19:57] <leftyfb> EriC^^: for the root partition
[19:57] <EriC^^> maybe there's more info in kern.log at the bottom?
[19:57] <nacc> fishie: yes, wine has its own paths
[19:57] <s10gopal> https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SfzsJDSk5KMqWVV62FPLdjl1ZopuMvvP/view?usp=drivesdk
[19:58] <leftyfb> EriC^^: that's why I told him to look through dmesg
[19:58] <nacc> fishie: well, i guess it depends on what you mean, for the game in wine, or for the host runing wine?
[19:58] <EriC^^> s10gopal: does "sudo grep -iE 'error|sda' /var/log/kern.log" give any info?
[19:58] <fishie> nacc, for the host running Wine.
[19:58] <fishie> I don't think Wine apps use .sh files, do they?
[19:59] <fishie> I mean like Windows apps.
[19:59] <nacc> fishie: i don't know about wine
[19:59] <nacc> fishie: for the host, it doesn't care that wine is being called
[19:59] <nacc> fishie: afaict
[19:59] <dingir> hi
[19:59] <dingir> just got a system lockup/crash
[19:59] <s10gopal> Yes
[19:59] <dingir> how do i see the logs?
[19:59] <s10gopal> Very long list
[19:59] <dingir> which one should i be looking at
[20:00] <leftyfb> s10gopal: take a picture
[20:00] <EriC^^> s10gopal: do you have internet connection on the pc by any chance?
[20:00] <s10gopal> Yes
[20:00] <leftyfb> EriC^^: it's a read-only filesystem. Networking is basically broken
[20:00] <EriC^^> oh
[20:01] <leftyfb> EriC^^: we're also dealing with a potential failed/failing drive. The least amount of writes the better
[20:01] <EriC^^> gotcha
[20:01] <dingir> what log file should i be looking at for information of the last system crash?
[20:01] <s10gopal> https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dgOHjQZbWrSYqMG4JtRoBdbLN_V5z1Ob/view?usp=drivesdk
[20:02] <EriC^^> dingir: /var/log/kern.log and .log.1
[20:02] <dingir> thank you
[20:02] <Bashing-om> kern.log
[20:02] <EriC^^> dingir: ~/.xsession-errors potentially too
[20:04] <EriC^^> dingir: no problem
[20:04] <EriC^^> s10gopal: do you have smartmontools installed by any chance?
[20:04] <s10gopal> Idk
[20:05] <EriC^^> try 'smartctl' in a terminal
[20:05] <dingir> i cant find why it crashed
[20:05] <s10gopal> No
[20:05] <dingir> would you mind having a look at that kern.log file and telling me why it crashed?
[20:06] <EriC^^> dingir: sure, share a pastebin of it
[20:06] <dingir> https://paste.ubuntu.com/26453895/
[20:07] <s10gopal> What ahould should I do?
[20:10] <TJ-> dingir: does this sound familiar? "[19205.256491] Chrome_~dThread[2882]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f7c2a110e7d sp 00007f7c283fdb10 error 6 in libxul.so (deleted)[7f7c292c3000+5805000]"
[20:10] <TJ-> dingir: that was at "Jan 24 11:50:35"
[20:10] <dingir> hrm nope.. syscrash just happened few minutes ago
[20:10] <dingir> like 10 min ago
[20:11] <TJ-> dingir: hmmm, check for crash dumps matching that time with "sudo ls -latr /var/crash/"
[20:12] <s10gopal> Eric what should I do?
[20:12] <EriC^^> dingir: also, take a look at ~/.xsession-errors for any info
[20:12] <dingir> http://paste.ubuntu.com/26453921/
[20:12] <EriC^^> s10gopal: i'd install smartmontools and run a smart test on the hdd, unless leftyfb has another idea
[20:13] <s10gopal> Ok lets do it
[20:13] <s10gopal> How?
[20:13] <TJ-> dingir: the one thing that stands out in kern.log is the input  devices kept on being rescanned from 12:15:41 and then the wired interface kept doing link up/down
[20:13] <leftyfb> EriC^^: not at the moment. Trying to push through a small crisis at work before leaving early to go to bed at home. Feeling like ... well, you know
[20:15] <dingir> ok i was messing around with the eth cable.. thats right
[20:15] <dingir> what is the input device?
[20:15] <dingir> what line you looking at?
[20:16] <TJ-> dingir: from line 1891 onwards, te Logitech Gaming Keyboard is repeatedly added
[20:16] <dimitrisvar_> Hello guys
[20:16] <dingir> ok lemme look
[20:16] <dingir> thanks man
[20:16] <kappa> Hello, Is there anyone who could help me out?
[20:17] <TJ-> dingir: it's still quite a while before the reset though, so may not be related.
[20:17] <ioria> dingir, and is your firefox updated to 58 ? or still 57 ?
[20:17] <EriC^^> leftyfb: gotcha
[20:17] <kappa> I've updated from ubuntu 16.04 > 17.1 but everything is kinda laggy. htop shows that gnome-shell has over 15% cpu usage almost all the time
[20:17] <yetoo> I am getting dpkg errords when I try to unisntall my 4.13.0-25-generic kernel
[20:18] <EriC^^> s10gopal: try 'sudo mount -o remount,rw /'
[20:18] <dimitrisvar_> Whenever I boot in ubuntu the following problems appear, any help? https://paste.ubuntu.com/26453953/
[20:18] <s10gopal> Tried
[20:18] <EriC^^> s10gopal: no errors?
[20:18] <dingir> ioria i dont know
[20:18] <yetoo> How do I troubleshoot the postinst script?
[20:18] <ioria> dingir, apt-cache policy firefox
[20:19] <Dreq> https://paste.ubuntu.com/26453953/ #Help
[20:19] <s10gopal> No
[20:20] <ioria> yetoo, how did you unistall it  ?
[20:20] <kappa> Anyone experienced the gnome-shell high cpu problem before?
[20:20] <dingir> im 58
[20:20] <EriC^^> s10gopal: type 'sudo apt-get install smartmontools && sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda' take a picture of the output, like this https://paste.ubuntu.com/26453969/
[20:20] <ioria> dingir, ok
[20:20] <dingir> problem with 57?
[20:21] <s10gopal> Icant install anything
[20:21] <Bashing-om> yetoo: what kernel are you booting ' uname -r ' ?
[20:21] <s10gopal> Unable to fetch
[20:21] <ioria> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1656065 dingir
[20:21] <leftyfb> s10gopal: read-only filesystem :)
[20:21] <leftyfb> EriC^^:  read-only filesystem :)
[20:21] <dingir> ok thanks
[20:21] <dingir> cause what happened is i overclocked
[20:21] <leftyfb> EriC^^: You can remount but then you'll have to manually setup networking
[20:21] <EriC^^> s10gopal: oh right, the networking is down
[20:21] <yetoo> I am currently using kernel 4.10.0-19-generic
[20:21] <dingir> i thought i would find a kernel panic or something... just cant find
[20:22] <dingir> i downclocked..
[20:22] <EriC^^> leftyfb: oh boy, that sounds.. intimidating :)
[20:22] <yetoo> because 4.13.0-17 is a blank screen when i boot to it
[20:22] <dingir> is it possible an overclock crash would not be logged?
[20:22] <leftyfb> EriC^^: it's a chlallenge I would gladly take on, but not in my current state
[20:22] <TJ-> dingir: there was no indication of what happened so, if you overclocked, the CPU probably just choked and died instantly
[20:22] <yetoo> * 4.13.0-25-generic
[20:23] <ioria> dingir, oc... ? your problem is (in my opinion) what you have in .xsession-error
[20:23] <EriC^^> s10gopal: i have an idea, boot into recovery mode, and go to enable networking, then 'drop to root shell'
[20:23] <yetoo> Have used apt-get remove, dpkg --configure -a, apt-get install -f, autoremove, and they all get dpkg errors
[20:23] <TJ-> s10gopal: is this the same PC we were sorting out the AMDGPU driver issue for a few days ago?
[20:23] <s10gopal> Ok how?
[20:23] <s10gopal> Yes
[20:23] <s10gopal> But I installled ubuntu 17
[20:23] <EriC^^> s10gopal: reboot the pc, hold shift as soon as it powers up, go to advanced > recovery
[20:23] <yetoo> You can look at my dpkg errors in the attachments in this bug post: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1744214
[20:24] <dingir> EriC^^, could you translate a bit of what you see in the .xsession-error file for me please..
[20:24] <yetoo> *The most recent attachments
[20:24] <TJ-> s10gopal: and what is the current issue? I scrolled back and only see you reporting a 'black screen'
[20:25] <s10gopal> Not working
[20:25] <EriC^^> dingir: it looks like a bunch of desktop related programs were killed, that's all i can tell unfortunately
[20:25] <TJ-> s10gopal: press Escape repeatedly at boot-time to get the GRUB menu
[20:25] <s10gopal> https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SfzsJDSk5KMqWVV62FPLdjl1ZopuMvvP/view?usp=drivesdk
[20:26] <dingir> thank you
[20:26] <yetoo> I'I'm very tempted  to do dist-upgrade but I want to exhaust all my options first
[20:26] <ioria> dingir, what ubuntu release and what video card you got ?
[20:26] <kappa> Is there anyone who could help me out? I've upgraded from ubuntu 16.04 to 17.1 but everything is kinda laggy. HTOP shows that gnome-shell has over 15% cpu usage almost all the time. Any idea what is causing gnome-shell high cpu usage?
[20:27] <s10gopal> Pressed f11 for recovery and again black screen
[20:28] <Bashing-om> yetoo: Let's see wgat we got ' sudo apt update 2>&1 | nc termbin.com 9999 ; sudo apt upgrade 2>&1 | nc termbin.com 9999 ' pass the resulting links back here .
[20:28] <Bashing-om> what*
[20:29] <EriC^^> s10gopal: i dont follow about the f11, what do you mean?
[20:29] <dingir> ioria and EriC^^ i made a mistake.. posting the wrong /var/log/kern.log
[20:29] <dingir> im so sorry
[20:29] <s10gopal> Presses esc
[20:29] <ioria> lol
[20:29] <EriC^^> s10gopal: did you get the grub menu?
[20:29] <yetoo> It's gnome-shell being gnome-shell, the most you can do is turn down the effects and animations or install a different shell
[20:30] <s10gopal> Then got msg f11 for recovery
[20:30] <EriC^^> s10gopal: that must be the bios, not grub

[20:31] <s10gopal> Grub
[20:31] <dingir> why doesnt it return anything when i serach for "pannel" but for "pan" it greps lines with "pannel"
[20:31] <s10gopal> Cms?
[20:31] <s10gopal> Cms
[20:31] <EriC^^> s10gopal: are you able to get the grub menu?
[20:32] <dingir> oh.. typo
[20:32] <s10gopal> Yes
[20:32] <s10gopal> But a prompt
[20:32] <kappa> yetoo: Any suggestion to what DE I can switch to? I only know gnome :/
[20:32] <s10gopal> Grub>
[20:32] <specing> Today I "woke" up to stuff not working(tm). I login to the Ubuntu 16.04  server being 100% full. It appears something made 4GB of /var/tmp/mkinitramf-??????/ directories and /boot is 100% full even though it is 512MB(!) in size. What can I do so this does not repeat?
[20:33] <ioria> dingir, may i ask you your kernel ? uname -r
[20:34] <TJ-> specing: /var/tmp/mkinitramfs* is initrd.img building when new kernels are installed/removed, or new modules installed
[20:34] <s10gopal> Now?
[20:34] <TJ-> specing: you could make /var/tmp/ a mountpoint for tmpfs so it goes away at each reboot
[20:35] <EriC^^> s10gopal: oh, try typing 'linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root ro recovery nomodeset'
[20:35] <dingir> 4.13.0-31-generic
[20:35] <EriC^^> s10gopal: then type 'initrd /initrd.img'
[20:35] <EriC^^> s10gopal: then 'boot'
[20:36] <specing> TJ-: it is a server. So no reboots
[20:36] <yetoo> Bashing-om: http://termbin.com/axgu http://termbin.com/jdwa
[20:37] <fishie> I have application launchers in my menu that don't work, but they don't appear in my Xubuntu menu editor. How do I delete them?
[20:37] <s10gopal> Done
[20:37] <yetoo> I had to append -y to the apt-get upgrade because it looked like ti was stuck at the y|n prompt
[20:37] <EriC^^> s10gopal: did you get to the recovery menu?
[20:37] <s10gopal> Yes
[20:37] <EriC^^> s10gopal: cool, press on 'enable networking'
[20:38] <TJ-> specing: look at the timestamps of the /var/tmp/mkinitramfs* entries, you should be able to map them to timestamps for package upgrades in /var/log/apt/history*
[20:38] <s10gopal> Done
[20:38] <EriC^^> s10gopal: 'drop to root shell'
[20:38] <Bashing-om> yetoo: Any joy ' sudo apt -f install ' ?
[20:38] <s10gopal> No such. File  or dir
[20:38] <s10gopal> And again menu
[20:38] <yetoo> I said I tried that already
[20:38] <EriC^^> s10gopal: huh
[20:39] <EriC^^> s10gopal: if you press on the bottom one 'drop to ...'
[20:39] <s10gopal> Done
[20:39] <s10gopal> Root
[20:39] <s10gopal> Prompt
[20:39] <EriC^^> s10gopal: now try 'apt-get install smartmontools'
[20:40] <s10gopal> Unable to fetch
[20:40] <EriC^^> is it hooked up to the net?
[20:41] <EriC^^> try 'ping 8.8.8.8'
[20:41] <s10gopal> Yes
[20:41] <specing> TJ-: I deleted those already to make room
[20:41] <s10gopal> Working
[20:41] <s10gopal> Sending data
[20:41] <EriC^^> s10gopal: is 'ping google.com' working?
[20:42] <s10gopal> Yes
[20:42] <specing> TJ-: I remember fiddling with kernel updates and setting whatever-does-the-updating to keep only 2 kernel versions (active and new)
[20:42] <s10gopal> Still sending data
[20:42] <EriC^^> s10gopal: odd, must be some other error
[20:42] <specing> but it seems like I'm supposed to dedicate half the filesystem to kernel updates...
[20:42] <EriC^^> s10gopal: try 'apt-get install smartmontools | nc termbin.com 9999'
[20:42] <EriC^^> sorry
[20:42] <EriC^^> s10gopal: try 'apt-get install smartmontools 2>&1 | nc termbin.com 9999'
[20:46] <Gopal> Service not known
[20:48] <yetoo> apt-get dist-upgrade doesn't even work
[20:48] <yetoo> How do I manually remove the kernel?
[20:48] <Gopal> https://drive.google.com/file/d/1x3Oh2C25knshrORHmoMqfTbz5E3i2GCE/view?usp=drivesdk
[20:49] <Gopal> Eric
[20:50] <Gopal> Th
[20:53] <memphisto> Gopal: change server; use the main one
[20:53] <Gopal> How?
[20:53] <EriC^^> Gopal: ?
[20:53] <Gopal> Yes
[20:53] <Gopal> https://drive.google.com/file/d/1x3Oh2C25knshrORHmoMqfTbz5E3i2GCE/view?usp=drivesdk
[20:54] <memphisto> check the /etc/apt/sources.list
[20:54] <EriC^^> Gopal: it looks like dns is down
[20:54] <Gopal> Nut net is working
[20:54] <Gopal> I am using same on mobile
[20:54] <EriC^^> Gopal: try 'nano /etc/resolv.conf'
[20:55] <memphisto> he is saying on the laptop, not the wireless itself, but linux config
[20:55] <leftyfb> Gopal: remount your drive r/w like I showed you earlier. Then edit /etc/resolv.conf and make sure the only thing it says is nameserver 8.8.8.8
[20:55] <EriC^^> after nameserver type '8.8.8.8' and save and exit with ctrl+x
[20:55] <memphisto> but if he pings google, then DNS should be working
[20:56] <EriC^^> i think it was a mistake, it says at the bottom it can't resolve termbin.com
[20:56] <leftyfb> memphisto: no, it means whatever DNS he's using is able to resolv google.com. That doesn't necessarily mean it's properly resolving everything it should
[20:57] <leftyfb> but also waht EriC^^ just said
[20:57] <Gopal> Done
[20:57] <EriC^^> try 'ping -c3 termbin.com'
[20:58] <Gopal> Invalid name
[20:58] <Gopal> Or service unknown
[20:58] <leftyfb> ping google.com
[20:58] <leftyfb> or ping ubuntuc.om
[20:58] <leftyfb> er
[20:59] <leftyfb> or ping ubuntu.com
[21:01] <Gopal_> Not working
[21:01] <yetoo> Gopal: do sudo iw <network device>  scan
[21:02] <Gopal_> I am connected by lan
[21:02] <yetoo> This scans for routers in your area
[21:02] <yetoo> I thought you were using wireless
[21:02] <yetoo> sorry
[21:02] <Gopal_> And I can ping using ip
[21:02] <memphisto> what ip did you ping
[21:02] <yetoo> Does your network work on other comptuers
[21:03] <Gopal_> Leftfb tell me up
[21:03] <Gopal_> Yes
[21:03] <KrUpTiOn> I have a question to ask...  Has anybody with spectrum (Time/Warner) cable figured out to get live streaming to work on firefox or chrome?
[21:03] <Gopal_> Eric
[21:04] <kostkon> KrUpTiOn, what's the problem exactly
[21:04] <yetoo> KrUpTiOn I assume that your going on websites that support the login for this, this is the website's issue of using adobe
[21:04] <Gopal_> Leftfb
[21:04] <KrUpTiOn> kostkon: it just shows the buffering...
[21:05] <kostkon> KrUpTiOn, on what kind of websites/services
[21:05] <yetoo> The way I circumvented this is to install windows in a VM and open and login to the same page there
[21:05] <KrUpTiOn> Yeah, asked Time Warner techs online chat, and the online help. Only thing I've seen so far is to download and 'force' install the android app
[21:05] <skinux> Which is the DE that post xenial versions will have by default? If it gnome-desktop?
[21:06] <yetoo> skinux: a modified version of gnome
[21:06] <KrUpTiOn> I just don't want to boot to windows just to stream live TV for my cable company. that's the ONLY reason I have windows installed dual boot
[21:06] <yetoo> Like I said, you can install it in a VM
[21:06] <kostkon> KrUpTiOn, it works in Windows then
[21:06] <KrUpTiOn> Yes, it works in windows...
[21:07] <yetoo> I understand your frustration
[21:07] <KrUpTiOn> on chrome and firefox, but in linux/ubuntu it just buffers....
[21:07] <yetoo> it's pure retard
[21:07] <Gopal_> Eric
[21:07] <yetoo> *retarded
[21:07] <memphisto> Gopal_: so how does your /etc/resolve.conf looks like now?
[21:07] <kostkon> KrUpTiOn, on websites like youtube or streaming services like netflix, prime etc?
[21:07] <Gopal_> Nameserver
[21:08] <Gopal_> And ip 8
[21:08] <yetoo> No like USA network syfy
[21:08] <yetoo> you can stream live with your service provider on sites like those
[21:08] <KrUpTiOn> netflix, hulu and youtube works. it's my local cable company offers live streaming. Spectrum Cable
[21:09] <Gopal_> I think I am getting this after enabling broadcom wifi driver
[21:09] <yetoo> i wonder if it's the cable comapny side doin gthis
[21:09] <Gopal_> Is it possible ?
[21:09] <KrUpTiOn> yetoo, that's what I was thinking.....
[21:10] <yetoo> send a complaint
[21:10] <KrUpTiOn> It's seamless in windows. for Firefox and Ubuntu. but also any 'Live Go' websites, like HBO, Max Go, CNN Go, won't work either.
[21:10] <ferchoArg> Hi. Is there any log other than /var/log/syslog and dmesg I can look for errors? I have a new pc and Ubuntu 17 is ridicously slow for some specific actions. But I don't know where to start to look for the cause. For example, Guake takes 7 seconds to appear after I press F12. Switching tabs in Chrome takes three seconds if I click the tab after the tooltip is shown. It's really odd
[21:10] <KrUpTiOn> From what I gather it has something to do with flash...
[21:10] <kostkon> KrUpTiOn, for starters, you could try the obvious possible solution to that, to use a custom windows user agent string in your browsers
[21:11] <yetoo> I tried using a windows agent and that didnt work
[21:11] <KrUpTiOn> I've thought about installing chrome for windows under WINE...
[21:11] <kostkon> KrUpTiOn, is it really flash based? have you double checked
[21:11] <yetoo> yes
[21:12] <memphisto> KrUpTiOn: please tell me when you installed it, i want to know how. i've tried but it keeps failing to install
[21:12] <Gopal_> Eric
[21:12] <ferchoArg> I disable animations and Guake takes 2 second to show up instead of 7, but it's still silly
[21:12] <KrUpTiOn> Yeah, it's a flash issue... atleast that's what I've been reading on various websites
[21:13] <KrUpTiOn> I've seen a few get it working, but not alot. and it was on older distros..
[21:13] <KrUpTiOn> I've reached out and no response from them either.
[21:14] <EriC^^> Gopal_: you're saying it started giving a blank screen after you enabled the broadcom driver?
[21:14] <Gopal_> And I was using wifi
[21:14] <Gopal_> Updated linux
[21:14] <Gopal_> Shutdown
[21:14] <Gopal_> And this morning I got the error
[21:15] <KrUpTiOn> I've tweaked my 'fresh' install and everything works just as I need and want except that. Something I've been using. that's watching Streaming cable on my laptop
[21:15] <EriC^^> Gopal_: aha, try booting an older kernel and see how it goes
[21:15] <Gopal_> How?
[21:15] <EriC^^> Gopal_: press ctrl+alt+del to reboot, go to grub> again
[21:16] <EriC^^> Gopal_: this time type 'linux /boot/vmlinuz and hit tab and autocomplete an older kernel version than the latest, and continue the line as before root=/dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root
[21:17] <khart> Ive fresh installed 16.04.3  on lenovo laptop.  Mostly good, but WIFI disconnects constantly.  Rebooting is the only way I have found to reestablish
[21:17] <Gopal_> Got it
[21:17] <Gopal_> Selected old kernel
[21:17] <Gopal_> Rebooting
[21:17] <EriC^^> Gopal_: then 'initrd /boot/initrd.img also hit tab and autocomplete the matching old kernel
[21:17] <EriC^^> then type 'boot'
[21:17] <Gopal_> Solved
[21:18] <Gopal_> But my app gone
[21:18] <EriC^^> what app?
[21:18] <Gopal_> Not gone
[21:18] <Gopal_> It was kernel issue ?
[21:18] <Gopal_> Thx
[21:19] <Gopal_> How I can report that bug
[21:19] <EriC^^> no problem, you can let grub boot it automatically til a newer kernel works
[21:19] <EriC^^> !bug | Gopal_
[21:19] <EriC^^> Gopal_: type 'grep menuentry /boot/grub/grub.cfg | nc termbin.com 9999'
[21:20] <khart> Anyone comment on WIFI issue.  16.04.3 clean, verified before install
[21:21] <Gopal_> Done
[21:21] <Gopal_> rc4p
[21:22] <Ranger15> khart: Explain what your seeing. what band are you seeing the problem on?
[21:22] <EriC^^> Gopal_: type 'sudo nano /etc/default/grub'
[21:22] <EriC^^> Gopal_: make it GRUB_DEFAULT='Ubuntu, with Linux 4.13.0-21-generic'
[21:22] <EriC^^> then save and exit with ctrl+x and type 'sudo update-grub'
[21:23] <Gopal_> Done
[21:23] <EriC^^> reboot and test
[21:23] <Gopal_> Working
[21:24] <EriC^^> great! :)
[21:24] <memphisto> Gopal_: I'm gonna update to the same version kernel. Lets see what happens
[21:24] <memphisto> :)
[21:24] <Gopal_> Eric when I switch off my laptop and on it again after a day
[21:24] <Gopal_> I loses around 20% battery
[21:24] <memphisto> install tlp
[21:24] <EriC^^> Gopal_: switching it off completely or suspend?
[21:25] <Gopal_> Shutdown
[21:25] <Gopal_> Using laptop mod tools
[21:25] <EriC^^> is it very old?
[21:25] <Gopal_> No
[21:25] <Gopal_> It happen after installing ubuntu
[21:25] <memphisto> try tlp, and compare
[21:25] <Gopal_> It was around 2 percent in windows
[21:26] <EriC^^> Gopal_: i think that's a coincidence, or ubuntu isn't reporting the battery right
[21:26] <dingir> anyone familar with sysctl
[21:26] <dingir> "If you use Linux you can preallocate huge pages sudo sysctl -w vm.nr_hugepages=5 or bigger value."
[21:26] <Gopal_> Ubuntu is not suitable for laptops ?
[21:26] <dingir> can i screw up?
[21:26] <dingir> how do i know the actual value of vm.nr_hugepage ?
[21:26] <EriC^^> Gopal_: maybe the battery is defective, no ubuntu is suitable for laptops
[21:27] <dingir> what is vm.nr_hugepage? a kernel config?
[21:27] <ikonia> dingir: interface with the proc file system
[21:27] <Gopal_> It dont happen when I install window
[21:27] <ikonia> dingir: it's a system parameter, sometimes kernel, sometimes a component managed by the kernel parameter
[21:27] <Gopal_> Getting 1.5 hours less battery backup and late startup
[21:28] <EriC^^> Gopal_: try the power management tools mephisto suggested
[21:28] <Gopal_> Ok
[21:28] <Gopal_> Thx
[21:28] <khart> Hi Ranger15 - its a problem I have found mention of on websites, but no clear instructions as yet for permanent fix.  The wifi icon will change. It turned into up and down arrows....
[21:29] <EriC^^> Gopal_: no problem
[21:29] <Gopal_> Bye
[21:29] <EriC^^> bye
[21:29] <khart> Trying to make new connection or edit connection does not allow any action.  I have to reboot each time, usually about 10-20 minutes later
[21:34] <TheSilentLink> what is this repo for? http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/strycore/xUbuntu_17.10/
[21:41] <yetoo> I ended up just reinstalling ubuntu 18.04
[21:45] <kostkon> yetoo, were you using 18.04 before? anyway that release is still in development, any questions in #ubuntu+1
[21:47] <Sagitt> buongiorno
[21:47] <Sagitt> esiste un comando per dire "fai questa cosa fra 2 secondi"
[21:47] <ikonia> !it | Sagitt
[21:48] <Sagitt> sorry
[21:49] <Sagitt> exists a command for "wait 2 seconds and do this" without sleep
[21:49] <ikonia> why not sleep ?
[21:49] <Sagitt> it's complicated
[21:49] <kostkon> Sagitt, sleep 2    that's it
[21:49] <Sagitt> i'm using sshpass to send a reboot command to my android tablet
[21:50] <bipul> How shall i install virt-v2v ?
[21:50] <ikonia> bipul: follow the instructions from the vendor
[21:50] <ikonia> bipul: of it its in the repo - use the package manager
[21:50] <kostkon> Sagitt, sleep 2 && sudo reboot ?
[21:50] <Sagitt> won't work
[21:50] <ikonia> same as every other thing you ask how to install
[21:51] <Sagitt> because it terminate communication and my shell still in "password authentication"
[21:51] <kostkon> Sagitt, i guess sudo is not needed?
[21:51] <kostkon> Sagitt, oh that's where the problem lies
[21:51] <bipul> ikonia, I tried with  sudo apt-get install virt-v2v  it says  E: Unable to locate package virt-v2v
[21:51] <Sagitt> yes
[21:51] <ikonia> bipul:.....so its either not called that or not in the repo,
[21:52] <bipul> ok ikonia Thank you :)
[21:53] <Sagitt> kostkon maybe i can try with timeout...
[21:54] <Sagitt> i'll tes it
[21:54] <Sagitt> test*
[21:55] <kostkon> Sagitt, there's also 'at' which allows you to run a command at a specific time
[21:57] <Sagitt> timeout works.
[21:57] <Sagitt> good job :D
[21:57] <kostkon> Sagitt, good job indeed
[21:58] <bipul> please list this package in repository it's very important "virt-v2v"
[21:58] <raidghost> Hello everyone!
[21:59] <bipul> :package
[21:59] <bipul> !virt-v2v
[21:59] <ikonia> bipul: what ?
[21:59] <ikonia> please list it ?
[21:59] <bipul> ikonia, Do you know how to list the package in repository here?
[21:59] <ikonia> what do you mean list it ?
[21:59] <raidghost> lshw -class network was suppose to show me the logical name of my ethernet card. But for some weird reasons it does not show up any logical name. Any other ways to get the logical name information?
[22:00] <bipul> I mean to add it in Xenial repository
[22:00] <ikonia> bipul: are you trying to get the virt-v2v tool on your ubuntu system ?
[22:00] <bipul> yes. ikonia
[22:00] <ikonia> bipul: people will not repond to a 5 second "please put this package in the repo" request in IRC
[22:00] <ikonia> thankfully the tool you want is in the repo
[22:00] <ikonia> it's in the libguestfs-tools package
[22:00] <bipul> !help
[22:01] <ikonia> bipul: please stop that
[22:01] <bipul> How do you know that ikonia ?
[22:01] <ikonia> you can clearly see you're getting help
[22:01] <ikonia> bipul: I looked it up
[22:01] <bipul> Oh i am sorry, between how did you looked?
[22:01] <ikonia> as I said to you earlier, you either have the wrong package name, or it's not in the repo
[22:02] <bipul> yes. :) thank you
[22:02] <ikonia> bipul: I queries the package manifest
[22:02] <ikonia> queried
[22:02] <bipul> all right :)
[22:04] <bipul> It would more helpful if you tell me how did you query. :)
[22:04] <bipul> would be*
[22:04] <ikonia> bipul: I opened the package manager, typed in the command and waited for it to give me the package
[22:05] <bipul> What command it was?
[22:05] <ikonia> virt-v2v
[22:07] <Checkmate> guys
[22:07] <Checkmate> find . /tmp/ -type f -mtime +4 -name ci_session\* -exec rm {} \;
[22:07] <Checkmate> this command is fine?
[22:08] <ikonia> Checkmate: in what context
[22:08] <Checkmate> i'm trying to auto delete files in tmp after 4 days
[22:08] <Checkmate> @daily root find . /tmp/ -type f -mtime +4 -name ci_session\* -exec rm {} \;
[22:08] <ikonia> Checkmate: it will sort of do that, in a specific name pattern
[22:08] <Ben64> don't have ". /tmp/"
[22:08] <Ben64> that will delete everything in the current directory
[22:09] <Checkmate> Ben64 i want delete only files with name ci_session
[22:09] <Ben64> you don't seem to understand what i'm saying
[22:10] <Ben64> having "." in there refers to the current directory, which is what you do not what
[22:10] <Ben64> do not want*
[22:10] <bipul> I have tried with apt search virt-v2v and apt-cache search virt-v2v nothing i got.
[22:10] <johnnyb> I can't get GRUB to install in UEFI in dual boot w/ Windows 10. Boot-repair is requiring secure boot turned off, but the live USB won't boot without secure boot on.
[22:11] <Checkmate> ikonia its fine if i added -mtime before -name ?
[22:11] <ikonia> you can use -mtime and -name
[22:11] <Checkmate> so the command is fine?
[22:11] <ikonia> pay attention to what Ben64 is showing you
[22:12] <Checkmate> ikonia i didnt inderstand what he saying , i added option to delete specified files by -name ci_session !!
[22:13] <Ben64> i'm not talking about the name
[22:13] <Ben64> do "find . /tmp/" and see what comes up
[22:14] <Checkmate> Ben64 -bash: find . /tmp/: No such file or directory
[22:14] <Ben64> you typed it incorrectly
[22:14] <Checkmate> fuck you men
[22:14] <Ben64> wow
[22:14] <Checkmate> are you an ass hole or what
[22:18] <johnnyb> Attempting to mount and do grub-install give the following error: Installing for i386-pc platform. grub-install: warning: this GPT partition label contains no BIOS Boot Partition; embedding won't be possible.
[22:18] <TJ-> johnnyb: it means there is no BIOS Boot Partition which GRUB needs to put it's core image in
[22:19] <TJ-> johnnyb: e.g. from mine: "gdisk -l d/ev/sda" => "    1              34           16417   8.0 MiB     EF02  BIOS boot partition"
[22:20] <johnnyb> TJ: There is an EFI partition (sda1). Should it be looking for a BIOS
[22:21] <TJ-> johnnyb: no, that's different, that's an EFI System Partition. But you're trying to install grub-pc (i386-pc) not grub-efi (x86_64-efi)
[22:22] <TJ-> johnnyb: if you want to install GRUB for EFI you need to install the package "grub-efi" (which should cause grub-pc to be autoremoved)
[22:22] <Checkmate> sorry Ben64
[22:22] <TJ-> johnnyb: in other words, if you want EFI boot you need grub-efi, not grub-pc
[22:22] <Checkmate> i didnt sleep well
[22:23] <johnnyb> TJ-:how do I force grub-efi? grub-efi-install?
[22:23] <TJ-> johnnyb: Are you using a chroot right not to try to fix an install?
[22:23] <TJ-> johnnyb: it's usually just "apt install grub-efi"
[22:23] <Checkmate> really sorry men i was thinking the command delete all my files
[22:24] <Checkmate> because shell comming fast like deleting files
[22:25] <johnnyb> TJ-: Trying to fix an install. U is installed on sda4, with home on sda5. I can't boot the usb w/o secureboot on and boot-repair won't work with it on...
[22:25] <Checkmate> Ben64
[22:25] <TJ-> johnnyb: OK, so right now the PC is booted using a LiveISO on USB?
[22:26] <johnnyb> TJ-:I thought from my reading that install from a USB would default to grub-efi. Is that not correct (I did boot it as EFI)
[22:26] <johnnyb> TJ-:Yes
[22:26] <johnnyb> TJ-:and thank you for your help!
[22:26] <TJ-> johnnyb: the boot-mode at install-time controls which mode the install is done in. So boot in Legacy-BIOS mode it'll install in that mode and use grub-pc; install in EFI mode and it'll install grub-efi
[22:27] <TJ-> johnnyb: OK, so in this live enviroment have you mounted /dev/sdas4 and chroot-ed into it to fix it?
[22:27] <johnnyb> TJ-:Yes
[22:27]  * TJ- slaps his fingers for typos!
[22:28] <TJ-> johnnyb: OK, so, assuming you've also bind-mounted /proc /dev /sys into your chroot directory, and have network access, "apt install grub-efi" should clean things up correctly
[22:28] <TJ-> johnnyb: if you haven't done those bind mounts 'exit' the chroot and I'll talk you through doing that
[22:28] <johnnyb> TJ-:LOL. Forgiven. Following the instructions here :askubuntu.com/questions/831216/reinstalling-grub2-efi-partition
[22:29] <TJ-> johnnyb: OK, that looks good, so it should be "apt install grub-efi" will sort it out for EFI boot mode
[22:30] <TJ-> I'd also do "mount -a" before issuing that command
[22:30] <TJ-> the reason for that is to ensure the EFI system partition is mount inside the chroot at /boot/efi/
[22:31] <johnnyb> TJ-:So leave everything mounted as described, chroot and then replace grub-install with "apt install grub-efi"?
[22:31] <TJ-> johnnyb: assuming you're currently outside the chroot. "sudo chroot /target" (assuming /target is where sda4 is mounted!), then "mount -a; apt install grub-efi"
[22:32] <TJ-> johnnyb: that'll cause grub-pc and it's dependent packages to be removed and grub-efi and it's packages to be installed, grub-install will then be run, and finally it should run update-grub"
[22:35] <johnnyb> TJ-: Apparently it's not available? Broken USB install? "Package grub-efi is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source However the following packages replace it:   grub2-common grub-commo
[22:36] <johnnyb> TJ-: Apparently it's not available? Broken USB install? "Package grub-efi is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source However the following packages replace it:   grub2-common grub-commo
[22:36] <Quenz> tatertotz Still here?
[22:37] <FishPencil> Is it possible to override grub's default boot option for one reboot? I have Windows and Ubuntu dual installed, the default is Windows, but I'm in Ubuntu now and i'd like to restart back into it
[22:39] <tatertotz> Quenz: yep
[22:40] <Quenz> tatertotz Last time I was here you told me this http://termbin.com/tt1v is why I can't change resolutions, but I don't quite understand.
[22:40] <tatertotz> Quenz: they came and added additional memory to me, as a result you may have to remind me a little where we left off...i'm always a little fuzzy after hardware upgrades
[22:42] <tatertotz> Quenz: 1280x800 is your "native" resolution as per https://support.apple.com/kb/sp579?locale=en_US however notice you have no other options for resolution(s).
[22:43] <tatertotz> Quenz: yes i remember now
[22:43] <atrus> FishPencil: i'm not sure about grub specifically - but are you using efi to boot by any chance? That gives some options which I use to do this.
[22:44] <FishPencil> atrus: I am
[22:44] <johnnyb> TJ-: Not sure what happened, firefox crashed out on me. apt install grub-efi returned a "not available" error
[22:44] <tatertotz> Quenz: do you notices the "other" resolutions besides the native listed in the specs? yes or no
[22:45] <tatertotz> Quenz: i have an idea...i have a macbook also with linux also with Nvidia
[22:45] <tatertotz> Quenz: i will show you mine
[22:46] <tatertotz> Quenz: standby
[22:46] <atrus> FishPencil: so, i have the system configured to boot grub by default, which boots linux by default. if windows 10 also has its bootloader installed, the efibootmgr command can set a "next-boot only" preference for the windows bootloader instead of grub.
[22:46] <TJ-> johnnyb: OK, I thought you'd fixed it
[22:46] <TJ-> johnnyb: from inside the chroot are you able to "ping archive.ubuntu.com" ?
[22:47] <FishPencil> atrus: Mine has grub boot as default with Windows being the default
[22:47] <tatertotz> Quenz: ....wait...i'm not sure that's going to result in you really understanding the deep technical in and outs of all of this within minutes to equal understanding of years/decades/centuries..but
[22:47] <johnnyb> TJ-: had to reboot. Give me one sec to remount and I'll let you know. Thanks
[22:47] <atrus> FishPencil: oh, sorry, i mis-read. that's a little awkward then.
[22:48] <Quenz> tatertotz https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2383374 basic details of my issue are in the first result of this thread by the way
[22:48] <TJ-> johnnyb: OK :) you may need to do, before entering the chroot, "sudo mount --bind /etc/resolv.conf /target/etc/resolv.conf" (replace /target as appropriate)
[22:48] <Quenz> *first post
[22:48] <atrus> FishPencil: you could configure efi to boot windows by default, and then configure grub to boot linux by default, and then use the efibootmgr (and a windows equivelant, easyuefi) to change the "next boot" option as desired.
[22:49] <FishPencil> atrus: That's not a bad idea
[22:49] <johnnyb> TJ-: Caught me just before I hit <enter> on chroot... What am I replacing target with?
[22:50] <tatertotz> Quenz: this is from my macbook with nvidia http://termbin.com/aym9  as you can see...i do NOT use the proprietary driver
[22:51] <tatertotz> Quenz: I use nouveau
[22:51] <tatertotz> Quenz: and i do not have your issue...but that's exactly whats different
[22:51] <FishPencil> atrus: I probably want --bootnext ?
[22:51] <Quenz> tatertotz I would use the open-source driver, but it's quite slow compared to the proprietary
[22:51] <TJ-> johnnyb: I use /target/ to mount the root filesystem but in the article you linked to they use /mnt/ so if you're using /mnt/ replace /target with /mnt
[22:52] <tatertotz> Quenz: under certain circumstances that is true and can be observed yes
[22:52] <Quenz> tatertotz I have observed it
[22:54] <johnnyb> TJ-: "name or service not known"
[22:54] <tatertotz> Quenz: have you developed the ability to switch back and forth between proprietary and nouveau without borking your computer? yes or no
[22:54] <TJ-> johnnyb: that's from the ping ?
[22:54] <johnnyb> yup
[22:55] <johnnyb> TJ-:
[22:55] <TJ-> johnnyb: and does it resolve correctly done from outside the chroot?
[22:55] <tatertotz> Quenz: borking=messing up
[22:55] <Quenz> tatertotz I'm not sure. I have a feeling it should work fine this time, because I think the issue a few days ago was not updating and upgrading fully.
[22:56] <johnnyb> TJ-: Nope...
[22:57] <TJ-> johnnyb: well that explains it then! you need to get networking up on the host first
[22:57] <tatertotz> Quenz: i would ask you to switch HOWEVER i would not want to see you in this position again http://termbin.com/68f5
[22:58] <johnnyb> TJ-: So that's separate from the live USB?
[22:58] <gebbione> hi folks, anyone gets VLC stuck on their ubuntu when playing next videos in a queue, the first plays and renders video great. In the second one the video goes black
[22:58] <tatertotz> Quenz: we've been there.....and done that :)
[22:58] <Quenz> tatertotz It's not such a big deal. I know how to get it working to the point it is at now with a fresh install. So if we screw it up, I can just reinstall. But why are you suggesting to switch to the open-source driver anyway?
[22:59] <TJ-> johnnyb: if you've booted the LiveISO it needs to  have a network connection before you can install packages in the chroot
[22:59] <tatertotz> Quenz: i'm suggesting you consult with me while using nouveau
[23:01] <johnnyb> TJ-: Pings OK from outside chroot. No luck inside
[23:02] <johnnyb> TJ-: Would have helped had I turned network back on once I rebooted initially
[23:02] <TJ-> johnnyb: ok, did you do the bind mount of /etc/resolv.conf into the chroot ? inside the chroot do "cat /etc/resolv.conf"
[23:04] <johnnyb> TJ-: nameserver 127.0.0.**
[23:04] <TJ-> johnnyb: 127.0.0.1 ?
[23:04] <TJ-> johnnyb:  and outside the chroot is it the same value?
[23:05] <johnnyb> TJ-:.53, but yes
[23:05] <TJ-> johnnyb: hang on, you've got 127.0.0.53 in the liveISO environment?
[23:06] <johnnyb> yes
[23:06] <johnnyb> and in chroot
[23:06] <TJ-> johnnyb: that's very .... WEIRD!
[23:06] <TJ-> johnnyb: what liveISO is it you're using?
[23:06] <nacc> .53 is systemd-resolved
[23:06] <Quenz> tatertotz I already know the open-source driver works fine (as far as I know). I know it doesn't produce the colored bar that I'm trying to get rid of. Pretty sure only the proprietary driver does that. Anyway, I will change it when I get access to the computer again if that will help.
[23:06] <johnnyb> TJ-: 17.10
[23:06] <nacc> TJ-: --^ fyi, completely expected in all modern ubuntu
[23:06] <TJ-> nacc: .53 ?
[23:07] <nacc> TJ-: i dont' have any context if it's surprising here, but you'd see 127.0.0.53 inn /etc/resolv.conf on 17.10 and on
[23:07] <TJ-> nacc: oh... systemd-resolved
[23:07] <TJ-> nacc: ok, makes sense!
[23:07] <nacc> TJ-: yeah the new default, aiui
[23:08] <TJ-> johnnyb: so, to recap now we've sorted out .53! you can "ping archive.ubuntu.com" outside the chroot?
[23:08] <johnnyb> yes
[23:08] <TJ-> nacc: yeah, so as not to step on the toes of NM/dnsmasq
[23:08] <TJ-> johnnyb: and inside the chroot the same ping fails?
[23:08] <nacc> TJ-: right
[23:09] <iresf> anyone know that java programs like as android studio can run  on Remix OS  ?
[23:09] <ikonia> iresf: thats not an ubuntu question
[23:09] <ikonia> sorry, we don't support that here
[23:11] <TJ-> johnnyb: inside the chroot can you "ping 91.189.88.149" ? (which is 1 of archive.ubuntu.com's IPv4 addresses)
[23:12] <johnnyb> TJ-: terminal on temporary hiatus... I'll let you know when it responds
[23:14] <TJ-> johnnyb: :)
[23:14] <TJ-> johnnyb: I need a bar of chocolate for brain-food
[23:14] <johnnyb> TJ-: I've got 85% dark, if that's your flavor
[23:15] <TJ-> johnnyb: I'll be back ... primed
[23:25] <johnnyb> TJ-: Pings all successful, still getting the "grub-efi is not available but is referred to" message
[23:25] <TJ-> johnnyb: let me check on that
[23:25] <nacc> johnnyb: TJ-: what's happening? grub-efi not installable on 17.10?
[23:26] <TJ-> johnnyb: ok, it's become a dummy. Do "apt install grub-efi-amd64"
[23:26] <TJ-> nacc: s'ok I didn't check in a 17.10 before giving the package name :)
[23:27] <TJ-> nacc: basically, it's supposed to have an EFI boot but grub-pc was installed
[23:27] <johnnyb> TJ-: same message
[23:27] <nacc> TJ-: right, but even as a dummy, it should be instalalbal
[23:27] <nacc> bah, *installable :)
[23:27] <TJ-> johnnyb: do "apt -f install"
[23:28] <nacc> i assume you did an `apt-get update` first?
[23:29] <TJ-> nacc: I think grub-pc and friends might be preventing it - grub-efi doesn't declare any conflicts
[23:29] <johnnyb> nacc: returns 0 changes
[23:29] <TJ-> johnnyb: try "apt remove grub-pc
[23:30] <johnnyb> TJ-: assuming I accept the continuation?
[23:30] <TJ-> johnnyb: if you manually uninstall, then you should be able to do "apt install grub-efi"
[23:31] <johnnyb> TJ-: One would hope, but alas, same message
[23:32] <nacc> johnnyb: do you mean it didn't do anything? it, on its own won't do any updates
[23:32] <nacc> *upgrades
[23:32] <nacc> but it should update the package list
[23:32] <nacc> apt-cache policy grub-efi, maybe, in a pastebin?
[23:32] <TJ-> johnnyb: "pastebinit <( cat /etc/apt/sources.list; apt-cache policy grub-efi )"
[23:33] <nacc> TJ-: more complete :)
[23:33] <johnnyb> "all packages are up to date"
[23:33] <TJ-> nacc: bootrepair was run on here I believe, so it may have done something we're not yet aware of, but it shouldn't be affecting packages
[23:34] <nacc> TJ-: ah ok
[23:34] <nacc> i assume this is an intel or amd machinne, as well
[23:34] <nacc> (I could imagine those packages are virtuall, not just dummy on non-x86)
[23:34] <TJ-> nacc: i do too , we're using a LiveISO
[23:34] <nacc> ah ok
[23:35] <TJ-> nacc: it started with "22:10:27 johnnyb | I can't get GRUB to install in UEFI in dual boot w/ Windows 10. Boot-repair is requiring secure boot turned off, but the live USB won't boot without secure boot on."
[23:36] <TJ-> nacc: I do love my weechat script! "/follow open grubefi johnnyb 180" and I have the entire issue captured in a separate buffer :)
[23:36] <TJ-> which led to "Installing for i386-pc platform. grub-install: warning: this GPT partition label contains no BIOS Boot Partition; embedding won't be possible"
[23:37] <johnnyb> TJ-: No such file or directory. Did it not get mounted?
[23:37] <TJ-> johnnyb: I hate to say it but it feels like there's something not quite right!
[23:38] <nacc> johnnyb: wait, there's no /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[23:38] <lucas_> lkjlkjljl;lkjkjk
[23:38] <TJ-> johnnyb: in the chroot "ls -latr /etc/apt"
[23:38] <johnnyb> TJ-: At least it's not just me... Pre EFI days were so nice... Probably my 10th Ubuntu install but first with efi
[23:39] <johnnyb> TJ-: What am I looking for here?
[23:39] <TJ-> johnnyb: do you see "sources.list"
[23:40] <TJ-> I much prefer EFI it prevents all the old BIOS dual-boot problems
[23:40] <johnnyb> sources.list.d and .new
[23:40] <nacc> hrm, seems like a b0rked upgrade
[23:40] <TJ-> johnnyb: oooo! "pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list.new"
[23:41] <TJ-> nacc: it does, which explains a lot of the issues
[23:41] <nacc> yep
[23:42] <TJ-> johnnyb: also, what does "cat /etc/issue" tell you?
[23:44] <johnnyb> Can't pastebinit bc it won't install pastebinit in chroot...
[23:44] <TJ-> johnnyb: ahh, ok, from outside then
[23:44] <nacc> johnnyb: cat /etc/apt/sources.list.new | nc termbin.com 9999
[23:44] <nacc> should work in the chroot (nc is there by default, iirc)
[23:44] <TJ-> johnnyb: is the chroot at /target/ or /mnt/ ?
[23:45] <johnnyb> cat /etc/issue returns Ubuntu 17.10 \n \l
[23:45] <johnnyb> TJ-: /mnt
[23:45] <TJ-> johnnyb: ok, from outside you can do "pastebinit /mnt/etc/apt/sources.list.new" :)
[23:48] <TJ-> as long as this is the correct 17.10 config we can simply rename it
[23:49] <johnnyb> TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/26455001/
[23:49] <johnnyb> TJ-: and also I need to run in like 5 min... :(
[23:49] <TJ-> johnnyb: yay, it's good. OK. inside the chroot: "mv /etc/apt/sources.list{.new,}"
[23:50] <TJ-> johnnyb:  then "apt update"
[23:50] <TJ-> johnnyb: then "apt install grub-efi grub-efi-amd64" (to make sure grub-pc gets removed!)
[23:51] <johnnyb> TJ-: What is this thing updating in my terminal?????? ;)
[23:52] <genii> The list of available packages and their versions
[23:53] <johnnyb> TJ-: That grub-efi thing? Installed. update-grub?
[23:53] <TJ-> johnnyb: it's fetching the package lists now it knows where to find them from /etc/apt/sources.list (which was missing)
[23:54] <TJ-> johnnyb: it shoould have run, but there's no harm running it manually
[23:54] <TJ-> johnnyb: we need to ensure you've got the GRUB efi bootloader in place too: do "find /boot/efi"
[23:55] <CarlFK> I am trying to track down what is trying to find a file that results in: carl@twist:/$ grep 2018:15:25  var/log/cups/error_log ... E [24/Jan/2018:15:25:00 -0600] Brother-HL-3170CDW-series: File \"/System/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/sRGB Profile.icc\" not available: No such file or directory
[23:55] <TJ-> johnnyb: you should see files "grubx64.efi" and "shimx64.efi", is that correct?
[23:55] <CarlFK> it seems to be something that gets run to report the status of a printer
[23:56] <johnnyb> TJ-: I would know if my cat didn't hit my power button...
[23:56] <TJ-> johnnyb: blame the cat for the PC being broken :D
[23:56] <TJ-> CarlFK: the path looks like an Apple Mac path
[23:56] <gebbione> hi folks, anyone gets VLC stuck on their ubuntu when playing next videos in a queue, the first plays and renders video great. In the second one the video goes black
[23:57] <johnnyb> TJ-: In theory, should grub boot when I restart?
[23:58] <CarlFK> TJ-:  yeah - something on my ubuntu box contains that string ... trying to track down the something
[23:58] <TJ-> johnnyb: in theory! but we need to ensure you've the correct version there. If your PC requires Secure Boot then you need to do "apt install grub-efi-amd64-signed"
[23:59] <johnnyb> TJ-: Short answer, It didn't, but it did get to Windows, so it is still booting something. I need to run... will you be around later? I greatly appreciate it... I do have secure boot on (Couldn't boot the USB w/o it)
[23:59] <TJ-> CarlFK: Well CUPS (the printer service) is originally from Apple, so if you've installed CUPS printer drivers it's possible something in them is specific to Apple
