[00:03] how i can connect the sinusbots with system start? atm i need to push the start button in this webinterface [00:14] TJ-: you were awesome [00:20] idwer: That's a regression; I'll make sure the kernel-team take a look. Keep an eye on that bug because they'll probably ask you to test some kernel builds [00:21] which would be installed over some ppa? [00:21] idwer: please add a comment on the bug confirming 'nopti' allowed -25 to work [00:22] it's 1am22 where I am, maybe later :) [00:23] it's same here - only needs 2 minutes :) [00:27] have to dig up that launchpad login then.. do I even have one?

Error message is displayed after the Ubuntu logo: Busy Box v1.22.1 ... "Unable to find a medium containing a live filesystem" I'm fairly certain that the USB and Ethernet ports are pooping out, but they do work during the BIOS stage. I have a PS/2 keyboard that works. I can enter commands at the prompt (initramfs) [01:15] Thanks for any help! [01:16] I have tried to install Ubuntu mini through a CD (which seems to work) but I cannot finish the installation since I could not establish a network connection [01:17] researching, hold on [01:21] From what i've found, it seems that your USB ports may be the problem like you said. [01:22] Try using a USB 2.0 port or USB 2.0 pendrive [01:22] Or boot from a CD if you can. [01:37] helloooo? [01:38] I am trying to get a full screen window but it's never the entire screen [01:38] the border?/bar on the left is always there....is this called the launcher? [01:38] I thought there is a setting so that it would 'hide' when you click a window to be full screen? [01:39] F11? [01:39] for chrome at least [01:43] holy crap I found my solution.. took me three days to try a random option in my BIOS labeled "IOMMU".. apparently it controls USB support for Ubuntu [01:44] ubuntu sucks....it also is a memory hog [01:44] with gnome [01:45] ubuntu is amazing! I don't like unity though [01:45] they are not using unity any more [01:45] you should try i3wm... it has fullscreen stuff, but it doesn't like floating windows [01:46] oh? [01:46] i'm still using 14.04 on my computers [01:46] I tried F11 with Firefox.... I cannot see the title bars anymore after doing that....is that normal? [01:46] 14.04 was the last version to support my old AMD video card lol [01:46] yep [01:47] doesn't matter anyway...looks like that will only work for browsers [01:47] in Chrome, Crtl + 1, 2, 3, 4 switches tabs [01:47] yep [01:47] What about other applications? [01:48] video players, you want full screen? [01:48] i use this guy: https://i3wm.org/ [01:48] really disliking the new gnome [01:48] but I don't really recommend it unless you're into it [01:48] so difficult to use [01:49] i don't think it is, but if you're used to the mouse, it can be frustrating at first [01:49] I don't have it on any other distro so can't compare [01:49] i3 will delete gnome when you install it too [01:49] i don't know why it does that [01:50] the bar on the left - how do you get a screen to overlap it or how do you hide it? [01:50] http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/08/ubuntu-17-10-gnome-3-26 [01:50] understand me? [01:50] I don't want to use any 3rd party apps I don't know about [01:50] is that called a launcher? [01:50] I don't even know what it is called [01:51] that's understandable, i'm not really sure how to hide the menu, but I know you can... it's in the settings menu somewhere [01:51] it's called a windows manager [01:51] but, what is that bar called? [01:52] does this help? [01:52] https://askubuntu.com/questions/205885/hiding-the-sidebar-in-ubuntu [01:52] it's just called a sidebar as far as I know [01:55] hey, that was an old post but that helped me figure out what to do :) thanks [01:56] you're awesome, struggler :) [01:56] you're welcome! [01:56] yes, people call it side-bar [01:56] I'll call it that from now on :) [01:57] i wouldn't mind it if it was there and opening a window to full screen would 'hide' it but what I did - it doesn't work that way [01:57] but, I will leave it as is until I find out if there is a way for that situation [01:58] what I did is go to settings and under 'dock' there is a setting to 'auto hide the dock' [01:58] I guess ubuntu calls it a 'dock' now? [01:59] they must [01:59] or gnome calls it that...or both? i dunno [01:59] it's only there when windows don't expand 'over it' - the auto hide feature?> [01:59] i remember that it was really hard to customize gnome for some simple things [01:59] i could never switch back [02:00] well, I used 'gnome classic' for a while so I was not familiar with all these quirks [02:00] that's my excuse, I guess [02:00] you use that guy's app? [02:00] did you say you are still on 14.04? [02:01] yep [02:01] I recently upgraded from 17.04 to 17.10 [02:01] I don't remember gnome being like this... I remember some things but I don't recall having an issue with the side bar [02:01] i'm installing 17.10 right now on a new computer... you have me excited to see what's coming [02:01] what de do you use? [02:01] just an install bar at the moment lol [02:02] I have used kde, mate and cinnamon ....just recently used 'ubuntu gnome' when someone was configuring gnome with ubuntu...when ubuntu used unity as default de [02:02] a what? [02:03] installation bar, I'm waiting on Ubuntu 17.10 to finish installing [02:03] i stopped using kde because of some segfault crashes and it would never sync with my phone properly [02:03] oh [02:03] well let me know if you like it - if you get it configured before i leave :) [02:03] although, I have run into issues lately and have come on here lol [02:04] i was going to switch it to i3 pretty much instantly [02:04] you should try the default configuration first....for just a little while ;) [02:04] ? :) [02:04] does i3 replace gnome entirely? is it a window manager/de? What is it? [02:04] hm [02:05] oh nm. :) [02:05] typically you can just swap between windows managers [02:05] I read on the link you showed [02:05] but i3 tends to remove gnome when you install it [02:05] now, I am not used to the side bar not being there by just moving my mouse cursor over lol [02:06] then throws a weird low resolution error when you reinstall gnome and try to siwtch back.... [02:06] really, I don't recommend it lol [02:06] unless you love the idea [02:06] yeah... I think it is too different :) [02:06] I used to like experimenting like that but now I try to use something that is more widespread... :) [02:07] something that is more commonly used [02:07] yeah, I generally agree since those things have less bugs [02:07] that's why I try to stick to kde, gnome or maybe xfce ...although I liked mate and cinnamon [02:07] but having fixed windows is simply too good to live without [02:07] i hate that ubuntu tries to mimic apple OS [02:07] it does? [02:07] I thought apple's OS has the sidebar at the bottom? [02:08] the docking bar thing reminds me of apple [02:08] aw, that's the same thing [02:08] yeah, I guess I can see your point [02:08] well, some ppl used to say kde tries to mimic windows? :) [02:09] I don't mind it if it works how I would like [02:09] hm.. i don't really think I've ever used kde [02:09] i haven't used it in a while....the last time I tried it.... was just frustration [02:09] it was too bad because I thought it has some nice points [02:10] but, the issues were deal breakers, unfortunately [02:10] it sounds like a good idea to have all these options, but it feels like it just creates more bugs sometimes [02:10] yeah [02:10] sometimes, you think they should just combine forces and make something good [02:11] I think there are things in each that are annoying or problematic.... [02:11] (except i3wm, it's perfect) [02:11] lol [02:12] the doc can be moved to the bottom or right, btw [02:12] I guess the next thing I will try to figure out....is whether I can do anything to free up memory resources [02:13] yeah I have 17.10 up and running now... reminds me of a Microsoft Surface... [02:13] I'm not happy that system monitor is showing 2.5 gigs used...and I'm not even doing much [02:13] it's almost revolting, I can't install i3 fast enough...... [02:13] I'm partial to KDE. [02:14] 13 tabs on FF and Hexchat running....is that why I have 2.5 gigs of RAM used? C'mon gnome/ubuntu?!? [02:15] is kde good at memory efficiency? is there anyone who is not a resource hog? [02:15] ff definitely is especially if any of those tabs are video or flash [02:15] I'm not familiar with a Microsoft Surface... I know what it is but I don't know what the screen/desktop looks like [02:16] My Dell XPS13 (16.04.3 LTS) fails to resume from sleep only when it has just been disconnected from its dockstation. I feel this problem happens more when my monitor is connected in VGA (1 time over 2 sleeps) but less when connected to HDMI (1 time over 5 sleeps), so it might be a video driver issue [02:16] Here's my system journal http://paste.debian.net/1007431/ Notice the "FIRMWARE BUG" line 475 and the timepoint I suspended the laptop trying to resume after dockstation disconnection line 165. Do you find any clue in the journal? (Sorry for the big log...) [02:16] just tried it, so I'll add my confirmation that i3wm from a fresh Ubuntu 17.10 installation will remove your gnome windows manager [02:17] good luck courrier, I have no idea! [02:19] thanks :) [02:22] Ubuntu-Struggler, it's just my paltry opinion but I don't think that is good programming [02:22] Even if I was unhappy with gnome windows manager, I don't think a program should totally remove it....does it at least warn you that it is about to be removed? [02:23] sure doesn't [02:24] i agree with you, but I'll call it a feature since I'm a fan! [02:24] Ha ha [02:25] how long does it take to remove it? [02:25] maybe it is a simple process to install it back? [02:25] hello, with cygwin I was able to run sshd on port 443 and connect from an external ip. Why is that not possible with Ubuntu? [02:27] hello, with cygwin I was able to run sshd on port 443 and connect from an external ip. Why is that not possible with Ubuntu? [02:28] do you mean ssh? [02:30] peterr, it's not a simple process to install it back, for a beginner at least... i3 changes things to low resolution mode that persists after logout [02:30] yes [02:31] cpined, you should probably provide the channel the messages you received so that people who know about ssh have a better idea of what went wrong? [02:32] Ubuntu-Struggler, hmmmmm... I guess I'll pass :) [02:33] laptop has ssh port 443 via cygwin, I can access from remote location using my public my public ipaddress:443...I'm not able to do that with Ubuntu. [02:33] I might go watch the video I was gonna watch before i didn't know how to change the appearance of the side bar...uh...the dock :) [02:35] what's the ubuntu message? [02:35] peterr, wellll, you were just complaining about gnome using too much memory~~ [02:36] Ubuntu-Struggler, yeah :) [02:36] cpined: yes you can [02:37] ben64: Do I need to configure sshd_conf? [02:37] sshd_config, yes [02:38] aside from adding "Port 443", is there anything else? [02:39] whois CodeBug [02:41] can I use nvidia-settings to set up dual-monitors? It can't seem to save the X config file, and when I create a new X screen the 2nd monitor just shuts off so I'm not sure I'm actually making it better... but my game under Wine won't work on the 2nd monitor. [02:42] JTech, does arandr work? [02:43] Ubuntu-Struggler, not installed. lemme look into that. [02:44] Ubuntu-Struggler, it's for... shell scripts? [02:45] oh I see. xrandr is about video stuff [02:46] JTech, it's just a neat tool to orient video displays.. it's generally more reliable than others [02:46] you can enable/disable your monitors with it [02:46] set resolutions [02:46] set primary [02:46] .... doesn't seem to have a lot of options. what am I supposed to do with this? [02:47] it doesn't have a lot of options lol [02:47] I mean my 2nd monitor is already enabled. how is it supposed to help my game function on the 2nd monitor? [02:49] I thought with nvidia-settings maybe I could do something to make the monitors separate... because my game refused to go on the 2nd non-primary monitor. [02:49] but "new X screen" just turns the 2nd one off. plus I can't save settings. [02:50] JTech, hm I've struggled with that before, I don't think I found a solution... I just switched my physical monitors lol [02:50] I noticed that the 2nd monitor was sort of just off-set from the 1st monitor so I thought maybe the game couldn't see the 2nd monitor. and that maybe creating a new X screen would make them distinct monitors to Wine. [02:51] Ubuntu-Struggler, it was working before and then spontaneously broke. [02:53] I wonder if it's because I switched from launching Wow.exe to WoW-64.exe... I wonder why that would break it... [02:53] hm. let me try launching Wow.exe the 32bit version. [02:54] nope. [02:54] god this is bullshit. [02:56] maybe.... if I unplug my 1st monitor... and plug it back in.... I wonder if it'll reposition the 1st as being offset from the 2nd instead of the other way around. [02:56] why the hell are dual monitors in the same virtual space anyway? [02:56] arandr can fix that part [02:56] how? [02:56] drag the little boxes how you want them [02:56] then hit apply [02:57] but that won't make them distinct. [02:57] oh [02:57] no that wont fix that [02:57] "mirror display" option [02:57] ? [02:58] I mean I guess I want them in the same space so I can move my mouse from one to the other but... I dunno. [02:58] trying to find solutions online, I see disturbing stuff about writing new /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/nvidia.conf files and making the system unable to start up. [03:01] for some reason he creates 52-nvidia.conf in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ [03:01] and I don't know why the 52. [03:01] and I really don't want to be screwing around with stuff that requires a rescue boot to fix. [03:02] can i set timezone per user from command-line? [03:02] for ssh access [03:02] or is it XY problem? [03:07] Can anyone suggest how to fix Skype on Ubuntu 16.04? I tried installing 8.11.0.4 (sudo apt-get install skypeforlinux=8.11.0.4) but that doesn't help. When I start Skype window opens but main window is transparent, or has screenshot of what's currently on display. Any idea how to fix this? [03:08] .... ok. I "solved" my Wine game's monitor problem by placing the monitor I want to use on the left-most side. it's... still a fucking mess though, because my Xubuntu menu is hidden underneath the game and my monitors are reversed. [03:09] so both Wine and Xubuntu's menus refuse to be anywhere by the left-most monitor. [03:09] why [03:09] *anywhere but [03:09] use a virtual desktop in wine [03:10] Ben64 I don't think that works. doesn't that create a bordered window? [03:10] Is there anything important to know before switching desktop environments or does it pretty much just work [03:10] oh right! plus the virtual desktop ALSO refuses to go on the 2nd monitor! [03:11] Is extracting an ubuntu iso to a usb thumb drive the same as using usb-creator-gtk? [03:12] JTech: then fix your monitor setup [03:12] Ubuntu-Struggler: no [03:12] ben64 yup. virtual desktop is on the left-most monitor. can't move it. how was this supposed to fix it? [03:12] you can move it [03:13] Ben64 how? [03:13] click+drag [03:13] nope. alt-rightclick dragging doesn't do anything [03:13] did i say alt-right click drag [03:13] click dragging doesn't either. [03:14] nor alt-leftclick dragging [03:14] then you don't have it set up properly, it should be a window you can move like any other window [03:15] hmmm... doesn't work when I try to do it with the desktop from winecfg either. [03:16] Ben64 I can put my game on the 2nd monitor windowed already. but I can't put it there in "fullscreen (windowed)" mode. all my options have problems. [03:17] a virtual desktop with a window border would be the same as having it there in windowed mode as far as how many pixels I get. I'm also not sure if it would perform better FPS-wise in a virtual desktop. would it perform like windowed mode, or windowed (fullscreen)? [03:21] hmmm.... is there a keyboard shortcut for the Ubuntu menu? if I switch monitors I need a way to access it underneath the game. [03:21] why are all my options garbage? [03:24] it would perform like fullscreen [03:29] where is mousepad's config file, where the font information, number of spaces, and such is stored, located? is it ~/.config/Mousepad/accels.scm? also the same question for xterm-256color [03:29] (XUbuntu 17.10) [03:30] "Dual (or multiple) monitors can be referred to through a modified DISPLAY environment variable." [03:30] hmm... is that like the env WINEPREFIX ? [03:30] yeah... I think so. [03:33] ahhhhhhh crap. where are my menu items hidden? someone told me but I didn't write it down! I have a broken one and it wont show up in the menu editor if it's broken! [03:34] whew. I recognized it. .local/share/applications === r0Oter is now known as r00ter [03:36] WHAT?? WHAT AM I DOING WRONG??? [03:36] why does that menu item not show up in the menu editor?? [03:37] is "wow64.sh" some sort of illegal filename to refer to in an appplicaiton launcher?? can I not have digits? WHAT?!?! [03:37] did I somehow fail to make it executable? no. it's executable. [03:37] there's no capital letters in the filename. [03:38] permission denied. [03:38] well something's wrong. [03:39] do I not use sudo chmod u+x filename.sh ? [03:40] in the GUI file browser it has different properties than my other .sh file... user is root instead of my username. and all the options are greyed out. [03:40] Can anyone suggest how to fix Skype on Ubuntu 16.04? I tried installing 8.11.0.4 (sudo apt-get install skypeforlinux=8.11.0.4) but that doesn't help. When I start Skype window opens but main window is transparent, or has screenshot of what's currently on display. Any idea how to fix this? [03:43] how do I create a shell file? if I do a sudo command it makes the file owner root. and... that might be a problem? I don't know. [03:43] maybe I need to create it in a normal folder I don't need root access to create. [03:43] why?? [03:45] YUP. THAT WAS THE WHOLE PROBLEM. [03:45] the reason it wasn't executable AND the reason it didn't show up in the menu editor was because my .sh file wasn't created in another folder by a regular user AND THEN MOVED. [03:57] can someone tell me why the date() function of my bash script doesnt work? https://pastebin.com/raw/YN4jhLfW [03:57] oh i didnt realize im in the ubuntu channel not the linux channel, i hope this is still on topic [04:00] Sup everyone?? [04:04] What are we discussing tonight? [04:06] Ubuntu, obviously. [04:09] hotbobby: If you're running the script in Ubuntu it is. What does your date function output? What do you expect it to output instead? [04:11] https://github.com/kraai/torbrowser-launcher/commit/1425d79f888e8572a5eede6131b8ae52a813aaf0 [04:11] How do I install a patched version of a package? [04:11] Can't I drop the patch to some dir? [04:12] hotbobby: Actually, I do know what's wrong. You've created a function named "date", and that function will be run instead of the "date" command. Since the date function then calls date, you have infinite recursion. [04:15] . === neophyte is now known as Guest72921 [04:17] why can I only move Wine's virtual desktop when it's smaller than the screen it's on? also it still won't put the desktop on the 2nd monitor even if I move it there and close and reopen it. [04:19] JTech: Have you tried dragging the window by holding alt then grabbing anywhere on / in the window? [04:19] Jordan_U, yeah. [04:22] hotbobby: (So change the name of your date function) [04:26] * skraito hi all . happy sabbath day :) . [04:26] FYI, Wine on multi-monitors, solution: set the monitor you want to use as "primary". That's all. I can't believe the solution was this simple. [04:27] in the past I was confused by setting the primary monitor and not having the Ubuntu menu display on it. I guess it has nothing to do with that. [04:49] Jordan_U: yes! that was it, thank you very much [04:49] i am indeed using ubuntu 16.04 to run this script === kevin is now known as Guest87753 [05:03] lol [05:03] hi [05:04] hi === LocaMocha is now known as Sauvin [05:30] I think they call be the South African beast too!

[05:48] gambl0re: what is your question?

I doesn't show up in lsblk, but it shows up on dmesg [08:04] I don't how how to access its 'partition' since I can't find it's partition name [08:06] https://gist.github.com/bbtdev/4f3f01ba2238219b720cf97cfa36c90c [08:10] It's funny which desktop environment I keep going back to with my i7/16 Gigs RAM/Gefore graphics Desktop computer...MATE [08:10] za1b1tsu: you don't access a phone like a normal block device, since it isn't one. the desktop uses gvfs to access it via mtp, if you mount it there you can find it under /run/user/ID [08:11] orange. [08:14] ducasse found it thanks === null00_ is now known as null00 [08:34] 32 [08:34] hi [08:35] greetings. ask your support question [08:38] 2.dynamicip.rima-tde.net) a quitté [08:38] (Quit: Leaving) [08:39] if the terminal opens in home/me/, if I want to go to /run/usr/ID do I have to do cd .., cd .. [08:39] or is there a faster way? [08:43] Found it I can do /./run/.... , but what does /. mean? [08:44] isntalling process for my ubuntu freezes what can i do to find the reason? i have changed my hard disk, it has a windows 7 installed that i want to get rid off, but it's hanging with no reason :( [08:44] i select to try it live or install it, next page freezes. [08:46] za1b1tsu: you can do 'cd /run/user/etc' in one step [08:48] ducasse oh I see, so how come it doesn't search for run in the current directoy? [08:48] because its '/run' not 'run/' it goes to root dir? === rah_ is now known as ragnaroh [08:53] za1b1tsu: because the initial / means /run is a subdir of the root [08:53] ducasse thank you [09:02] Is this correct command to find a file that contains 'code'? find /run/user/1000/gvfs/mtp\:host\=%5Busb%3A001%2C005%5D/ -name code [09:02] by contains code I mean it has the substring 'code' in its name [09:04] https://paste.ubuntu.com/26469286/ this is the log, and after this my screen just freezes. i did this too, but didn't work. https://askubuntu.com/questions/861743/installation-of-ubuntu-16-04-from-a-usb-drive-freezes [09:04] za1b1tsu: 'find /run/... -name *code*' [09:05] senaps: have you tested F1 at logo, to see what kind of errors show? [09:05] yup, the text pasted is the log from that. [09:05] za1b1tsu: 'find -name code' will look for a file with the exact name 'code' [09:06] senaps, no error is in that log [09:06] ducasse, awesome cheers [09:06] za1b1tsu: np [09:07] yup, no errors it just hangs... it copies the packages, does some gpg thing(i think it checks the signature or whatever) and then that 3-4 lines i copied and freezes. [09:08] ducasse, awesome cheers [09:08] ops mistake, but yeah you deserve multiple thanks lol [09:08] :) [09:13] so I have some search results in terminal anyway I can select and copy parts of the find output? [09:13] *any way [09:14] without mouse [09:15] not unless your terminal has a way to copy/paste with keyboard or you are using something like tmux [09:16] Im using terminator [09:17] is there any way for me to get out of this freezing thing? i had a cd for mint and did the same freezing without throwing any errors... [09:18] i don't think so, then. i use termite, which can do it. [09:18] za1b1tsu: ^^ [09:18] is tmux, termite better for stuff like this? [09:18] I want to use avoid the mouse as often as I can [09:19] tmux is not a terminal emulator, but it is something you should check out if you use the terminal a lot [09:19] senaps: is your system uefi? [09:20] lotuspsychje have no idea what that is. i checked for SATA Mode in setup thing and it was CHI or something like that, i changed that to see if it helps. and didn't. it just freezed again === sd_ is now known as Guest17540 [09:21] senaps: tell us about your plan? ubuntu version? want to single install? [09:21] yup, i definetly want a single install, i have windows just to be able to make the usb bootable! i have downloaded latest 17.10 from ubuntu website [09:22] senaps: 17.10 or 17.10.1? [09:22] 17.10.1 [09:23] good :) [09:24] my usb led stops blinking and is straight on, i think maybe it's installing or reading from the usb or something? :( [09:25] i punched my laptop, i lost my hard disk, i upgraded to a 1Tb hard and from 2 GB to 8GB ram. [09:25] senaps: uefi settings for singleboot needs fastboot & secureboot disabled, have you checked that [09:25] no, i don't have any idea what those are. [09:26] Hi guys!

[09:34] recently? no. but before changing the hard, i have upgraded version by version from 9.4 and have had all the versions up to 17.10 [09:35] senaps: i would suggest trying a liveusb 16.04.3 LTS as a test [09:35] im just testing a debian and it's got hold in detecting network hardware page. [09:36] senaps: we can only support the ubuntu part here :p [09:36] then i should download it again. [09:43] hi all. i'm wondering if its possible for the volume keys to work when the screen is locked in gnome (ubuntu 16.04) [09:43] Bilz: have you tried the Fn + sound up/down buttons? [09:44] lotuspsychje, sorry, that's exactly what I mean. my function keys don't work (for volume, at least) when the screen is locked [09:44] Bilz: they work when unlocked? [09:45] lotuspsychje, yup [09:45] Bilz: this is ubuntu-gnome 16.04.3 right? [09:46] lotuspsychje, yep [09:47] Bilz: perhaps try to ask this in #ubuntu-gnome if its normal behaviour, im on another version cant test [09:47] thank you [09:47] Bilz: you want your music keep playing when its locked or so? [09:48] lotuspsychje, my music does keep playing [09:48] but i can't change the volume when the screen locks automatically [09:48] Bilz: ah but you cant adjust volume [09:48] hi! [09:48] (or locks manually, for that matter) [09:49] pourya2374: welcome, what can we do for you?

I've read that I need to use -a argument open -a "app" file. But I get an error Invalid option a [11:16] za1b1tsu, man open will tell you the truth [11:18] cfhowlett: so there is no such thing as -a and furthermore there is no argument that allows me to open the file with a certain application? [11:18] apparently the open command doesn't do that [11:18] but why does it show me arguments for the openvt, not open? [11:19] za1b1tsu: you simply call the application you want to open it with, and then supply options and arguments depending on how that application expects it. [11:21] for example: /usr/bin/firefox /path/to/some/file.html because firefox takes first positional argument as URL/path to open [11:21] (technically it should be file:///path/to/some/file.html but firefox is smart like that) [11:21] blackflow why the tripple /? [11:22] za1b1tsu: because file:// /path/to/some/where [11:22] the first part is scheme the second is absolute path === addictedTS_ is now known as addictedTS [11:22] ah I see, thank you [11:23] Hey, I'm a bit late updating from 17.04 to 17.10 and get 404's when i try and do a dist upgrade.

[12:52] chickengoat: IDK, maybe :D [12:52] nobody is born knowing like u hommie [12:54] is there anyone active [12:54] !patience | chickengoat [12:54] chickengoat: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or https://ubuntuforums.org or https://askubuntu.com/ [12:55] ok [12:55] okay, i was trying to make the usb bootable, and was doing it by fat32 formating my usb, i just thought what the hell, lets test with ntfs, and it is installing. (i didn't have a choice, it came in to the live, and i clicked on install icon) erased my whole hard disk. [12:55] ntfs is for window bro [12:56] !lol [12:57] i know, but it's working for installer usb flash. i didn't change the partitioning but hope i have my / and home in seperate partitions... [12:57] senaps: you don't need to format the usb device. you can use rufus in windows to write it. press alt-i once and rufus responds with "disabling iso support", then just write the usb stick [12:57] senaps, if not, you can change it to that setup post-insatll [12:57] i always use rufus for that [12:58] its awesome [12:58] are there any linux developers? [12:59] how would ubuntu partition my 1TB? [13:00] and it has installed unity again i guess, shouldn't it install on Gnome by default?(although i hate gnome!) [13:00] senaps: 17.10 is gnome, but it's themed to look similar to unity. [13:01] chickengoat rufus didn't work for me, it was first to test. fat32 usb drive didn't work and freezed, NTFS is working up untill now, it's about 70-80 percent. [13:02] senaps: you don't need to format the usb drive if you will write the ubuntu iso on it [13:03] akik: software auto format it [13:03] i know, but usb has to have a format anyways..... [13:03] senaps: no [13:04] senaps: are you going to write the ubuntu iso on it? [13:04] usb flash when you buy it is NTFS or FAT32 by default. it has a format. doesn't it? [13:04] senaps: yes but it doesn't matter in this case === gr33n7007h is now known as Guest377 [13:05] akik: he cant install ubuntu ( ufei) using ntfs [13:05] s10gopal: the file system on the usb device does not matter [13:06] akik: i tried with ntfs , but failed to install [13:06] it's like i'm talking to the wind [13:07] sure you can test that the usb drive works and format it but if you'll write the ubuntu iso on it, it doesn't matter if it has a file system of any kind [13:07] Hiyas all [13:09] akik: he dont want to make it bootable ? [13:09] the format that matters is the format where u are gonna install ur ubuntu but not the format from the usb where ure gonna install the iso right? [13:09] senaps: what akik is failing to communicate is this. when you "format" a drive, you create a filesystem on it. The ISO is a "container" file that contains the filesystem already, so pre-formating the USB with a filesystem is irrelevant, since the contents of the ISO "container" will overwrite the USB, starting with first byte. [13:10] ("container" in quotes, not to be confused with containers in context of virtualization) [13:11] s10gopal: by writing the ubuntu iso on the usb drive, it'll be bootable automatically [13:11] usb drive should be fat16/32, AFAIK.. [13:11] i was right [13:12] in what were u right? lol === Albatros is now known as alpha_Aquila [13:12] I think I managed to install from an ext3 USB thumb drive as well. I guess any FS that the boot loader can read is fine. [13:13] he need fat32, it wont work in ntfs [13:13] +I remember [13:13] thanks all, i just successfully installed my ubuntu, and had a moment of glory! for the first time of my life(using 8GB of ram!) i had 2 gb and 512Mb before this! for about 15 years.... so awesome experiensce it is to not have a lag! on opening firefox!! [13:13] it depends on efei / bios mode also [13:14] s10gopal, it doesnt matter the format of the usb where u are going to install ur iso bro , as blackflow said the iso is a container with its fylesystem inside === gr33n7007h1 is now known as al2o3-cr [13:14] s10gopal: by writing the ubuntu iso on the usb drive, the underlying file system, be it fat or ntfs, will be destroyed and overwritten [13:15] sorry , i was wrong [13:15] officially: the boot partition should be fat16/32. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [13:16] anyway, i missed the real issue here. === gr33n7007h1 is now known as al2o3-cr [13:19] I like to partition my USB thumb drives with 3 partitions: #1 FAT32 for legacy windows data transfer, #2 FAT32 with a hige file named "casper-rw" that holds an ext3 FS, #3 FAT32 about the size of the LiveCD image, with files copied onto it by UNetBootin. this way I can tell UNetBootin to just create ~4 MB of casper storage, then delete that one, and the live session will use the large casper instead. [13:19] oerheks: Tj helped me and he is fixing the bug and it is ubuntu issue === Ard1t is now known as Guest71153 [13:21] advantage is you keep your casper data between UNB install attempts, and UNB wastes less time on casper before trying the critical part, install the boot loader. [13:21] wooa! too much mis-information here! For booting using EFI the EFI System Partition should be FAT, but GRUB's /boot/ is and should usually be a standard Linux file-system. For BIOS-boot the same (except there's no EFI-SP involved). For installing the ISO images are hybrid, meaning they have mutiple methods of booting to accomdoate almost all hardware: ISO9660+El Torito for CD/DVD, BIOS MBR/GPT + syslinux, and [13:21] EFI GPT + GRUB === addictedTS_ is now known as addictedTS [13:23] oh and pro tip if you re-prepare a thumb drive with UNB: keep xdotool at hand to press "n" a few hundred times. [13:24] And the ISO image is designed to be written to the installer device raw, starting from sector 0 byte 0. It totally overwrites any partitioning or file-systems (and data) already there [13:24] TJ-, so no casper-rw for you [13:24] yo [13:26] Sven_vB: I don't see the point; if persistence is needed a stock install is just as good, if not better. [13:28] TJ-, by "stock install" do you mean writing the ISO raw? does that include space for the casper-rw nowadays? [13:30] has been a few years since I tried raw, back then it had no persistence and legacy windows PCs couldn't store files on that USB drive. [13:30] Sven_vB: stock install as-in installing Ubuntu to a USB mass-storage device rather than using a LiveISO squashfs + overlay for persisence. That probably made sense when USB devices were small (2/4GB) but nowadays they're more than big enough for a full uncompressed install [13:31] Sven_vB: a stock install can also have a FAT32 partition #1 for multi-OS support [13:31] sounds like I should read about stock install. [13:32] Sven_vB: it's just doing the manual partitioning step in the installer and creating the first partition as FAT for multi-OS sharing, then creating the remainder for Linux as per normal [13:33] TJ-, how would I start the installer (and which one? Ubiquity?) w/o creating a live USB drive first? [13:34] oh, maybe you mean use a live USB w/o persistence to install a vanilla ubuntu onto another USB thumb drive? [13:36] or maybe "stock install" means you're "stock" enough to not need persistence in the session that you use to run Ubiquity. [13:36] like in the old days when we used actual CD-ROMs [13:38] this old pc misses the old days :-) [13:39] well I'll read some docs about it, will probably enlighten me more than guessing. [13:40] haha nice, searching for "ubuntu stock install" mostly finds "stuch" ubuntu installs [13:40] *stuck [13:45] looks like https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-install-ubuntu-desktop is the official guide. meh that it seems to require JS to even render anything. :/ [13:46] well I guess anyone going to install the ISO from that site can be assumed to accept arbitrary code execution in their browser as well. :D [13:47] another new user leaves after being intimidated by what appears to be hi-level technical discussuion [13:49] not many new users asking elementary questions in this chat lately [13:49] and that tutorial assumes I just happen to have a live USB at hand. [13:54] doesn't really matter in the end, I'll just keep my partitioning scheme since it works nicely for me. :) === chrios_ is now known as chrios__ [14:01] yo [14:02] i can't download deb file. the link from this page doesn't work https://packages.ubuntu.com/zesty/amd64/chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra/download [14:02] 404 === Jorge is now known as Guest10934 [14:07] !eol | snql [14:07] snql: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information.

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.' [14:12] Should I try to force installation of dpkg-dev? [14:14] VL6QDioiTsgY4QT: does "sudo apt-get -f install" fix things? [14:14] why "--install-suggests" as the metapackage just does that? [14:14] and did you properly update before installing? [14:15] oerheks: I ran it without the flag, and the suggested packages weren't listed as being marked to be installe, that's why I used the flag. [14:15] VL6QDioiTsgY4QT: As oerheks suggests, there are no "Suggests" or "Recommends" for build-essential [14:15] VL6QDioiTsgY4QT: presumably you want the 'suggests' for the dependent packages then? [14:15] oerheks: Yes, system is up to date [14:16] VL6QDioiTsgY4QT: is the system multi-arch with a foreign-architecture declated? [14:16] TJ-: I had just run 'sudo apt-get install build-essential', and when I looked at the suggested package list I found most of them were interesting, but weren't listed the about to install packages [14:17] VL6QDioiTsgY4QT: OK, I thought that may be it [14:17] TJ-: Nope, it's basically a fresh install of ubuntu server 64 bit. I didn't do anything fancy with it yet [14:18] xenial updates gives dpkg-dev (1.18.4ubuntu1.3) >> https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial-updates/dpkg-dev [14:18] so you are not up2date ..

[14:19] try full-upgrade [14:19] Oh, I didn't know it had to be full-upgrade, sorry [14:19] anyway, the output of update should show packages held back, if any [14:19] oerheks: the messages isn't saying it's going to install 1.17.11 it's saying it depends on a version >= to that, which 1.18.4 matches [14:20] Building dependency tree Reading state information...

Have a nice weekend! bye [15:45] hey [15:47] hi backbox, another happy backbox user in the wrong place :-D [15:53] I have an issue since doing the release upgrade to ubuntu 17.10 [15:53] I used to have this issue only on the full disk encryption prompt when I was running xenial [15:54] https://mobile.twitter.com/toba/status/957270281910931457?p=p [15:54] The effect I'm getting happens both in X11 and at the character TTYs [15:56] there are vertical columns of pixels... not sure how many pixels wide exactly. I think I'm seeing every-other column of the actual video output ubuntu is trying to create [15:56] So half of the vertical columns have been deleted and the others just pushed up against each other [15:57] seems like a video driver issue to me. Any ideas? [15:59] Toba: Video driver causing characters to change? I think its CPU/GPU problem in my opinion. [15:59] it's not characters changing [15:59] it's the entire video output having this 'grating' effect [16:00] and it was never happening in unity until after I did a release upgrade to 17.10 last night [16:00] GIMP turns to GUmgM :D [16:00] Yeah it's kinda beautiful. I am laughing but also I can barely use the computer like this [16:00] Thats characters [16:00] it's like being in star trek and here I am on an alien vessel trying to check my email [16:01] no, it's not just that [16:01] allow me to demonstrate. please hold [16:01] Tried booting from another OS?

[16:01] but I think you will understand it has nothing to do with the characters, those are just a funny entertaining example to look at because it's funny [16:02] Borw3: you understand the bios doesn't govern the characters on screen [16:02] LOL, g2g ... brb soon [16:03] ikonia: I guess it's the CPU/GPU that governs the rendering of characters. [16:03] Borw3: I'd appreciate it if you could stop helping if you don't know / understand how the components work [16:03] Borw3: guessing 'its the bios' is not helpful, so if you don't know, just don't help, [16:04] ikonia: LOL, I didn't say it's the BIOS, I said he should try entering BIOS or boot up another OS, and if same issue exists, then its CPU/GPU problem [16:04] ....or hardware [16:04] 6:01 < Borw3> I bet your BIOS got same character issues [16:04] Borw3: thats you saying it's the bios [16:05] Borw3: and entering the bios would prove nothing, [16:05] ikonia: LOL, I ment the BIOS would also display funny characters [16:05] Borw3: sop with the "lol" [16:05] Borw3: again - please stop helping if you don't understand [16:05] ikonia: :D [16:05] xD [16:06] Borw3: final warning - stop [16:08] ikonia: :D........my hunctch is that it's CPU/GPU issue not the BIOS, and that his CPU/GPU might be degraded/degrading. [16:09] to put this whole bios thing to bed, the problem doesn't happen before it reaches grub [16:09] Toba: sorry that noise was in the way of you geting help [16:09] I don't remember if grub does it, but linux does and bios doesn't === SimonNL_Afk is now known as SimonNL [16:13] in 17.04 and earlier I liked to use the process manager applet to see small graphs of system resources at all times on the top bar, in 17.10 this is now broken, can anybody recommend a different program that does the same?

Is there a difference in installed between apt install ./package.deb and dpkg -i ./package.deb? [17:24] Since with apt it will not run my "pre-install" scripts and stuff it seems. Thing is that dpkg -i wont install all my dependencies automaticly [17:28] Dirkos: dpkg -i will set dependencies as needed. a follow-up "apt update && apt -f install" will install those dependencies. [17:28] Howdy. I'm not seeing any sign of windows networking on a newly updated xubuntu system. Samba client is running. Are there any new firewall settings that need to be tweaked? [17:28] Dirkos: the correct way to install software with dependencies, of course, is from an apt repository, using apt. [17:29] tomreyn: yeah i know but somehow when i do it, it does not run the scripts or something [17:29] using this atm: https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm [17:30] Dirkos: also i don't think "apt install ./package.deb" will install a package 'package' from a local file 'package.deb' but it looks for a package called './package.deb' (mathching the name as plain text, via globbing and via regular expressions) from the configured apt repositories. [17:31] tomreyn: actually, it will indeed install a local .deb [17:31] at least that's how apt-get does it, and how i interpret the 'apt' manual page on 16.04 [17:31] Does anyone know if the KDE tooltip color for GTK apps bug is solved in Xenial with xenial-backports? [17:31] ducasse: hmm i don't see any hint on this on the man page, but maybe i didnt look closely enough? [17:32] tomreyn: i've used it a ton of times, so i'm certain of it [17:32] ok, i guess we need to file a documentatrion bug then [17:33] on 16.04? [17:33] tomreyn: is there a way to install a package from apt locally? [17:33] Dirkos: ducasse just said that i was wrong and apt actually will install local packages the way you tried [17:34] (and i have no reason to believe he's wrong) [17:34] tomreyn: at least xenial and up, unsure about earlier [17:34] thanks! [17:35] Dirkos: oh maybe i got your question wrong, are you asking whether you can use apt to install a package form a local apt package repository? [17:36] if so, yes you can [17:38] yeah well i have one problem with it sec [17:38] let me uninstall it first === gr33n7007h is now known as al2o3-cr [17:38] i think it will handle file:// URIs just fine. https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/87130/how-to-quickly-create-a-local-apt-repository-for-random-packages-using-a-debian [17:39] you'll need to either gpgp sign packages (and import the key to the apt client) or use '[trusted=yes]' in your sources.list, though [17:39] this is what i get: omnius-ose : Depends: php7.1-cli but it is not installable [17:40] if i run dpkg -i however it runs some pre-install scripts [17:40] Dirkos: if apt fails to resolve dependencies it won't install a package [17:41] yeah thats why there is a pre-install to add a PPA before installing [17:41] hmm, that's rather dirty. [17:42] i would not mess with apt sources as part of a package installation. [17:42] then how to resolve that? Since i want the package to have all dependencies installed right? [17:43] you askthe user to install the ppa first using the utilities ubuntu provides (apt-add-repository), then ask them to install the other package. [17:43] well there are pros/cons ofc [17:43] then it works fine it seems [17:43] that's more manual work for the user but it puts the decision on what to trust to them, where it belongs [17:44] tomreyn: true that, good tip [17:44] the tooling FPM is pretty cool however :) [17:45] Personally I don't like it when installers run apt update without asking, if I'm on a slow link [17:46] Ubuntu does not use diffs for the list updates [17:46] * tomreyn definitely does not like packages to modify his systems' apt sources without making me opt in to it. [17:46] Public service announcement: don't forget to rm -rf *.tar.gz from ~/Downloads :) [17:46] *apt in to it [17:46] :) [17:47] On a really slow link it might take an hour to update apt [17:47] btw. this packaging discussion would better fit to #ubuntu-(app-)devel i think.

RUN apt-get update; apt-get install -y wine1.8 winetricks wine-mono4.5.6 wine-gecko2.34 [21:06] phillijw: in fact you should probably use add-apt-repository instead of writing to the sources.list file and importing the signing key manually [21:06] phillijw: Also, the text at the top that says "PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS REPOSITORY IS DEPRECATED" suggests that the PPA may be deprecated [21:06] hosein, i would, as last resort [21:06] tomreyn: fyi I didn't write this script. I am just modifying it from https://github.com/shofetim/ynab [21:07] the original script was using 15.04 which is no longer supported adn the packages are gone, etc... [21:08] phillijw: well i don't care much, but i agree the message on top of https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine/+archive/ubuntu/ppa does not look like you should be using it [21:10] phillijw, PPA is deprecated because they now have their own repo https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu [21:12] ok so I can replace the "echo ppa bla bla" stuff with "apt-add-repository bl ablabla" [21:13] and the new key and package names [21:14] do you know how I can go about figuring out the new package names if some got rolled together,etc? [21:15] phillijw: just try with winehq-stable, like that page suggests. If anything's missing, ask #winehq [21:16] phillijw: that means, remove the install of wine-mono, wine-gecko etc [21:16] yep thanks [21:19] would someone hand me the https://sourceforge.net/projects/bodhilinux/files/4.4.0/bodhi-4.4.0-apppack-64.iso.torrent/download torrent file? [21:20] that seems like a really strange question for an ubuntu channel :) [21:20] untakenstupidnic, go on. because? [21:22] gotta run. I'll be back later if I am still stuck [21:22] kostkon:i am both unable to download it (sanctions) and unable to setup tor(no access to any repository,and other problems about tor) [21:22] more a question for #bodhi or #bodhilinux ? i see you are not even in there [21:23] oh ,those channels exist! thanks,i was searching for them. [21:26] oerheks: those channels are not used anymore. [21:26] sure they are, 11 people in it.. [21:27] -_- [21:27] Hello all! === mkv is now known as m4v [21:28] I installed VMware 14 under Ubuntu 17.10.1 (with proposed-updates installed) and every time I try to create a Virtual Machine in VMware Workstation Linux it crashes VMware, any ideas or anyone seen this problem? [21:29] untakenstupidnic, you have chosen torrent, why not the regular iso ? http://www.bodhilinux.com/download/ [21:30] oerheks: see,the problem is not with torrent, problem is with SF. i just want the kb-sized TORRENT file. [21:31] SF would not let me download that LINK TO THE IMAGE. [21:32] there is a button' Problems Downloading' with alternate adresses? [21:33] untakenstupidnic, if someone is willing to upload it for you on a server that you can access. doubtful though [21:33] Anyone read what I asked about VMware under Ubuntu? [21:33] Hi! Do you guys know how to force the Ubuntu installer to install Ubuntu in legacy mode on a Macbook? I have serious problems there... [21:34] What kind of MacBook? [21:35] dear ubuntu people, could not anyone just download a few bytes of file and upload that on a random upload website on the first page of google? [21:36] i swear that wouldnt take even two minutes! [21:36] i just want to download the LINK! [21:37] Good question. I’m booting it from internet recovery mode right now, but I guess 2012. MBP. More info when I have some basic OS. [21:37] untakenstupidnic: i can do it for you [21:38] akik: would someone hand me the https://sourceforge.net/projects/bodhilinux/files/4.4.0/bodhi-4.4.0-apppack-64.iso.torrent/download torrent file? [21:38] thanks [21:39] untakenstupidnic: i copied it to here https://transfer.sh/z2SnP/bodhi-4.4.0-apppack-64.iso.torrent [21:40] untakenstupidnic: of course it would be nicer to get the ubuntu iso :) [21:43] akik:thanks again,i am using ubuntu for a couple of years and i think that an E17 lightweight distro would do better on my laptop than Ubuntu or Lubuntu [21:43] new2ubuntu: try virtualbox, that's supported here. [21:51] VirtualBox is now what I am required to use for the contract I am working on, but thank you for the recommendation. I had no idea that only certain products were 'supported here', is this an open forum for any questions relating to Ubuntu? If not, I apologize, but I didn't realize you only will help with certain products? [21:51] now what=not what [21:52] is there a list of products that people limit there help to here that I should have looked at tomreyn? [21:52] is there a link for the list? === anonymous is now known as Guest66725 [21:55] new2ubuntu, basicly all packages in our repos, we do have a wiki about vmware, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware but with bugs/problems like yours we cannot help you [21:55] like filing a bugreport, that should go to vmware itself [21:57] new2ubuntu: there's a vmware tag at https://askubuntu.com/questions/tagged/vmware [21:57] a vmware tag? [21:57] let me look at that [21:57] new2ubuntu: well just a label [21:57] huh? [21:57] new2ubuntu: yes? [21:59] I read that list, there is no question of mine in that list on that page, I am not sure I follow what that is? [21:59] you are saying you saw my question listed there? [22:00] new2ubuntu: no but you can send your question there [22:00] Oh! [22:00] how do I do that? === juboxi is now known as jubo2 [22:02] hi, im trying to get supervisor to run on my ubuntu VPS, but i have the following error : FATAL can't find command '/.../python' [22:02] new2ubuntu: sign up, you can use the ubuntu one username, then ask a question [22:04] new2ubuntu: if you have a ubuntu one username, use launchpad at the askubuntu.com login [22:06] if i replace python with python3 i get error BACKOFF can't find command '/.../python3 [22:09] ok [22:09] I am signing up for a username and password [22:09] thanks [22:09] is there a VMware forum around here that might be able to help me since VMware is not supported here? [22:17] hi [22:18] I'm getting this error on every package install / update: dpkg: error processing package libmpc3:amd64 (--configure): [22:18] !paste | wsl123 [22:18] wsl123: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use https://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use https://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [22:18] package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should reinstall it before attempting configuration [22:18] davesev: don't replace python with python3. use the name python3 if you use python3 [22:19] davesev: the naming is by design [22:19] wsl123: try reinstalling it then: sudo apt install --reinstall libmpc3:amd64 [22:19] new2ubuntu: there is a #vmware channel in freenode and it seems active [22:19] wsl123: but run "sudo apt update" beforehand [22:19] apt -f install [22:19] tomreyn: tried that, tried dpkg --configure -a [22:20] done that [22:20] tried uninstalling the package, reinstalling, apt update, dpkg --configure -a, apt -f install [22:20] wsl123: niether of these are the commands i just suggested, though. [22:20] oh, maybe "reinstalling" is [22:20] no i know but this is what i've tried [22:20] just so you know [22:20] to rule it out [22:20] okay, you re still explainign the situation, sorry. [22:21] akik: i was trying different things to see if ican get it to work. but yes its for python3 [22:22] davesev: if you really want to do it, try making an alias? alias python=python3 [22:22] tomreyn: basically it's saying there is a dependency problem; Package libmpc3:amd64 is not configured yet. [22:22] not sure how to sort it out === Richard is now known as Guest43075 [22:22] wsl123: so try the command i provided. if ti fails, please show the command you ran and the output generated by apt [22:23] akik: im happy to use python3 i just dont understand why it is command not found [22:25] tomreyn: hmm, seemed to have sorted it by removing the package line from /var/lib/dpkg/status [22:26] tomreyn: is there a difference between apt install --reinstall then uninstalling / reinstalling? or is it just for convenience [22:26] wsl123: are you saying you manyuelly edited /var/lib/dpkg/status, or are you saying that a line was removed off this file as a result of running the commands i provided? [22:27] tomreyn: i manually remove the libmpc package line from there and now it's sorted itself out and reinstalled fine [22:27] no errors now [22:28] wsl123: okay, that's not how i would have done it, and i'm not sure this is a safe action to take. [22:28] well it seems to be a generated file so usually shoudn't need to edit [22:28] but as it's generated it's sorted itself out [22:29] must have just been a slight glitch / stale info in there [22:29] wsl123: the difference between "apt install --reinstall" and "uninstalling / reinstalling" is that the former can also work if the package is in an inconsistent state and cannot be removed properly. [22:29] ah right [22:29] well, thanks for the help [22:31] Hello everyone. I'm having some trouble with the baloo indexer, it eats up about 16-20 gb of memory and then dies because my computer is out of memory. Is there any way to limit this? I do like my files indexed, it's really convenient, but the memory requirements are a bit crazy. [22:33] Hi everyone. I can't get Steam (as in Valve's Steam) to run on my system. I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit MATE on an old machine with an integrated GPU. https://ideone.com/VjnxA9 [22:35] DDR: hmm i had never heard of baloo until i just looked it up based on your report. i'd say if this process consumes more memory than your system has available and is thus opom killed then it's definitely worth a bug report [22:35] Richard_Cavell: so as the screen says it can't load the appropriate graphics libraries [22:35] DDR: *oom killed [22:35] DDR: use the locate.updatedb and locate ;D [22:35] DDR: is your system fully up to date? [22:37] ikonia, So what should I do? [22:37] Richard_Cavell: /join #ubuntu-steam [22:38] Richard_Cavell: you'd need to understand why it can't load those libraries, I suspsect the onboard gpu on an old cpu, just doesn't support the extensions [22:45] Richard_Cavell, ldd could help maybe ? [22:59] tomreyn: Thank you. [22:59] hi sir. how to fix "vncserver: The USER environment variable is not set" ubuntu 17.10 ?? [23:00] untakenstupidnic: I'm honestly not sure what that means. [23:00] cakil: set the USER environment variable [23:01] what is the command. to set user enviroment? [23:02] VARIABLE= [23:02] cakil: I suspect if setting an environment vairable is beyond your current knowledge you will be setting up a very insecure VNC setup [23:05] I want to use vnc create. set and wear lxde [23:08] I am on an up-to-date 17.10 install right now. [23:10] 6'' [23:10] oops === jottr_ is now known as jottr [23:29] hey i am trying to attach a driver using btattach and it says their is no driver in dev/ttyS1? === rat is now known as Guest21531 [23:43] i am moving about 44TB of data from Server A to Server B. Server A is 12 JBOD drives. Server B is 8 drives in a RAID 6. Using NFS i am maxing out at about 1.1Gbps on a 10Gbps network. At even 50MBps read (lowballing) i should be able to hit about 4Gbps. Does someone know of a better system to transfer than NFS? [23:44] When I log in, ubuntu auto connects to wifi but it keeps asking for the password each time. I read something about keyring being the issue. What's the trick to fix? [23:48] who here uses irc for youbood? - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbJHOnkFimg [23:48] thundercuntooos [23:48] <3 [23:48] DirtyCajun: ATA over Ethernet [23:49] never heard of it. Google-fu here we go [23:50] looks like it requires you to create a new partitioned space [23:51] Are server A and server B both ubuntu? [23:51] yes [23:51] identical revision and package level [23:51] Help, I get "Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)" whenever trying to install anything via apt-get [23:52] use vblade [23:52] vblade 1 2 eth0 /dev/sda1 [23:52] on Server A [23:53] so unmount them from the OS as regular drives and then vblade them [23:55] Borw3, are you currently running synaptic? It takes that and holds on to it until quit. [23:55] Ooh, nvm, I deleted the lock files :( [23:56] Borw3: Another intance of the package manager active ? what shows ' ps -e | grep apt ' ? [23:57] Bashing-om: Nevermind, thanks, I deleted the locks and rebooted. [23:58] Borw3: :) [23:59] I think so
