[00:15] what is the default text editor in ubuntu? when I run latest ubuntu in vmware, I can't use gedit from a terminal. [00:18] ok nevermind, it is gedit. there's a bug in ubuntu, where you can't fucking load gedit from the terminal...this is making things difficult for me [00:18] am running 17.10 in vmware, no real modifications to the install [00:18] I get gtk-warning: cannot open display: :0 [00:18] googling that error really doesn't help me at all [00:20] hello, i have noticed a problem with audio playback, have tried both vlc and audacious, issue happens on both: pitch slightly shifts up and down (i guess something related to cpu priority or similar?) [00:20] any ideas? [00:21] i have both pulseaudio and alsa installed [00:21] how do you run gedit as root, if you can't launch gedit from a terminal without it giving an error? [00:22] Arfed: tried gksudo gedit ? [00:22] same error [00:22] really pissed that something this basic is broken in default 17.10, in vmware [00:23] i think i am late, what's the error? [00:24] what happens if you run "sudo -s" (or "su -") and then call "gedit"? === captain is now known as Guest3942 [00:25] https://i.imgur.com/9vFwoHv.jpg [00:25] same thing with sudo -s [00:26] hey can anyone tell me if there's a parallel ssh client for windows? [00:26] Ghostbowl, try ##windows [00:27] does ubuntu have a QA team? [00:27] @bazhang where do I find that [00:27] I'm getting the following error trying to install libpython3-dev: WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!\n libpython3-dev [00:27] Ghostbowl: putty [00:27] Arfed, of course yes [00:27] I tried googling it with not luck [00:27] putty? [00:27] This just started about 10 minutes ago [00:27] ok - does the QA team do tests in e.g. VMWare? [00:27] oh ok [00:27] Arfed: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=ubuntu+gksudo+cannot+open+display [00:27] it's an option? [00:28] Ghostbowl: yes, putty [00:28] whallz, please never lmtgtfy as a support option [00:29] sure, here's the proper QA site response about this issue: https://askubuntu.com/questions/414785/cant-open-gedit-as-root [00:29] I already said I googled this. the results arent helpful [00:29] I can't find that option jatt [00:30] that's not a QA site, that looks like a community side - where users have had to work around ubuntu QA fuckups [00:31] no cursing here Arfed [00:31] there's nothing with ##windows [00:31] Ghostbowl: weren't you asking whether "there's a parallel ssh client for windows"? [00:31] yes [00:31] so [00:31] putty is a ssh client for windows [00:31] Arfed: about that error [00:31] are you a mod/OP bazhang? [00:31] no but I want to ssh into 30 computers at the same time to make them all execute the same shell script at the same time [00:32] Arfed, thats not the issue, this channel keeps it curse free, thanks [00:33] what about the windows part? [00:33] ubuntu 16.04 I can't seem to get my wireless printer an IP address; it can't see the router/dhcp server. Any good ideas? I've been messing with it for literally days. [00:33] what about ncurses [00:33] I'm doing this from a computer that runs windows, but the thirty computers all run on linux [00:33] I'll curse as much as I like, as long as it's not towards any other users, thanks. when there's been a QA screwup, which affects basic functioning for ubuntu, some swearing is more than appropriate [00:33] in fact, swearing seems to coincide with linux use in general sometimes [00:34] Ghostbowl: the right channel for your question is #windows [00:34] I'm looking for something like this [00:34] https://github.com/ParallelSSH/parallel-ssh [00:34] !windows [00:34] For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents [00:34] Ghostbowl, Do they need to be executed at EXACTLY the same time? If not, what about writing a shell script that calls ssh in a loop, and simply put it in the background. [00:34] Ghostbowl, i.e. each ssh is put in the background [00:35] not exactly at the same time [00:35] while counter < 30 do; ssh host; done [00:35] forgot the & [00:35] ssh host & [00:35] off the top of my head obviousliy [00:35] I'm not sure I understand [00:36] where did I lose you? [00:36] apb1963: he is not using ubuntu but windows [00:36] I am using ubuntu [00:36] or I can [00:36] right [00:36] if it's just a shell script thats fine [00:36] well that's the first thing that needs to be resolved... where you're launching this ssh process from. [00:37] I wanted to launch it from a pc, but I can do it from an ubuntu server too [00:37] windows has a way to do the same thing... batch file or some such [00:37] !windows [00:37] For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents [00:37] But, if you want to do it from one of those 30 servers... setup a cron job... do it once or more often as you see fit. [00:38] Or just login and do it. [00:38] ok, I'm kind of new to this [00:38] so I need to install some software on about 30 servers [00:39] I'm trying to find the most efficient way possible to do that [00:39] what software? [00:39] Ghostbowl: there are configuration management tools to do that [00:39] how do I get ubuntu to get around to fixing a QA problem? it looks like the can't-launch-gedit issue has been a longstanding one for almost 4 years - that's a serious QA screwup [00:39] Ghostbowl: ssh alone is not he most efficient way to do that [00:39] what do you mean? [00:39] the rise and fall of D.O.D.O. [00:39] what kind of tools? [00:39] Ghostbowl: for example: https://www.chef.io/implementations/windows [00:40] chef, puppet are designed for that... but from the description you gave those are prolly overkill. [00:40] thanks jatt, I didn't know such a thing existed [00:40] But if it's something you plan to do often... it may be worth investing your time. [00:41] like apb1963 said it might be an overkill for your case. but if you want to do that in a corporate IT environment you might take a look at chef or puppet [00:43] is there anything like that, that's opensource? [00:44] !chef [00:44] It really depends on the scenario. If these are all brand new installs, it might be faster to push images. [00:44] yes, chef is opensource [00:44] yeah they're brand new installs [00:44] what do you mean with push images? [00:44] like preconfigure an image [00:44] and then upload that? [00:45] essentially [00:45] that sounds pretty cool too [00:45] do like a tftp boot... though I think dhcp is the modern method. [00:46] what's a tftp boot? [00:46] Trivial FTP [00:46] it's a way too boot an image over the net [00:46] s/too/to [00:46] oh I did not know that was possible either [00:47] But again... I believe dhcp supersedes it at this point. [00:47] pxe boot has been able to use ftp for years [00:48] man, so much stuff I've never heard about [00:48] I'm gonna try the chef method [00:48] I might have to configure more computers in the future [00:48] Ghostbowl, for ubuntu? [00:48] yes [00:48] and a couple of windows boxes [00:48] but right now ubuntu [00:49] I'm still finding new things I never heard of so... :) [00:49] Ghostbowl: you will need to do a lot of reading, but might be worth it [00:49] Ghostbowl: I mean the chef way [00:49] yeah I figured that [00:49] but it looks really cool [00:50] what's the development kit for? [00:50] scripting? [00:51] please note there is a #chef channel in freenode [00:51] you might find more help there [00:51] so, I still can't get gedit opening from a terminal, due to error: Gtk-WARNING: cannot open display [00:51] the advice in this link does not help me: https://askubuntu.com/questions/414785/cant-open-gedit-as-root [00:51] Ghostbowl, http://opensourceforu.com/2015/03/ten-tools-for-configuration-management/ [00:51] wiw [00:51] thank you [00:52] I'm gonna go read [00:52] yw [00:52] enjoy [00:52] Ghostbowl: for deploying Debian/Ubuntu installs with automatation, look at the standard kickstart+preseed support [00:52] * apb1963 just learned something new [00:53] Ghostbowl: e.g. https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/installation-guide/i386/apb.html [00:54] Ghostbowl: the 16.04 guide for the same thing is prettier :) https://help.ubuntu.com/16.04/installation-guide/amd64/apb.html [00:56] how do I get gedit open as root in 17.10? I keep getting Gtk-WARNING: cannot open display and no AskUbuntu answers help? [00:56] this is basic stuff - I'm completely blocked... [00:57] use sudo [00:57] to clarify: all attempts at opening gedit from terminal fail with that error [00:57] sudo or not [00:57] jatt, he's in a vmware [00:58] Arfed: if it's using Wayland compositor, that doesn't allow root access via GUI, have you use an 'xhost' workaround [00:58] when I call xhost I get the same error [00:58] xhost: uinable to open display ":0" [00:59] Arfed: see this answer for a lot if detail https://askubuntu.com/questions/961967/why-dont-gksu-gksudo-or-launching-a-graphical-application-with-sudo-work-with-w [01:00] hello, has anyone seen that weird ad on youtube where their are staircase and a shadow in the shape of a parallelogram walks forward .. and it has a face [01:00] does the ubuntu team and QA team not it is a major problem for basic functionality to break like this and required this kind of messing around? [01:00] * not view it as [01:00] djapo, this is ubuntu support only [01:00] I can't even run the xhost command that is required for fixing it... [01:00] so that AskUbuntu is useless to me [01:01] anyone have experience with DreamFactory? [01:01] im trying to install it on ubuntu [01:01] but running into some problems [01:01] sorry, just thought someone would have seen it too .. Love linux [01:01] how did 17.10 ever get past QA... [01:01] going to thrash this VM and go back to LTS [01:01] xoxo, installing how and from where [01:02] installing on a digitalocean server from terminal [01:02] on my computer [01:02] djapo, #ubuntu-offtopic for chatter [01:03] ubuntu 16.04 I can't seem to get my wireless printer an IP address; it can't see the router/dhcp server. Any good ideas? I've been messing with it for literally days. [01:03] bazhang: would you like to see my error [01:04] it's not even a VMWare problem either - it's the base 17.10 itself is pretty much saddled with a gigantic QA problem that's going to be a pain for a huge portion of the userbase. terrible terrible handling of this from whoever is in charge of releases and QA [01:05] xoxo, where is this dreamfactory downloaded from, regular ubuntu repos, a private archive, or some third party source [01:06] http://wiki.dreamfactory.com/DreamFactory/APT/Ubuntu_16.04/Installation#DreamFactory - git clone https://github.com/dreamfactorysoftware/dreamfactory.git ./ [01:08] Arfed, I resolved this issue ages ago, sadly I don't remember the details, however I think xauth may have been part of it. Something here should spark some ideas: https://serverfault.com/questions/51005/how-to-use-xauth-to-run-graphical-application-via-other-user-on-linux [01:09] thanks, but I just thrashed the VM and am downloading LTS. I find it hard to believe that there is such a major QA problem in a release like this. But then, I'll admit this has been my experience every time I've ever used an Ubuntu install. The QA for this project is atrocious [01:12] bazhang: any ideas? [01:12] xoxo, about some git install? [01:13] bazhang: https://snag.gy/tH0M4d.jpg [01:13] that's my problem [01:13] xoxo, sounds like you should contact the git maintainers, file bugs wiuth them [01:13] with [01:21] Quick question, is there any way to change the default location Nautilus opens in? It opens between my two monitors so I constantly have to drag it over everytime I open it. [01:21] k [01:27] ickserv identify notused. [01:27] dickhead [01:29] In many, if not all, web browsers, when you download the same file twice, it appends a number to the name, i.e. file.txt, file(1).txt... Are there any file managers (preferably with drag and drop) that can do that? Usually the options are only to replace or rename. [01:32] great even LTS has the Gtk-WARNING: cannopt ne display: :0 error [01:32] so it's not even a wayland issue [01:33] dozens of AskUbuntu pages on the issue, and none of them with a solid solution [01:34] <[n0mad]> works fine for me on LTS..probably doesn't help you much [01:34] did you have to configure anything to get it working, when first installed? [01:35] Arfed: where are you executing the command from? A console shell, or a terminal emulator shell? [01:35] Arfed: or an SSH shell? [01:36] terminal [01:36] Arfed: and what is the exact command you're issuing? [01:37] okey I finally got it the xhost workaround here works in LTS but not 17.10 (even though it's meant for 17.10): [01:37] https://askubuntu.com/questions/614387/gksu-gtk-warning-cannot-open-display-0 [01:37] <[n0mad]> i didn't configure anything, it just works [01:37] Ubuntu's QA team needs to get this repro'd and fixed immediately. simply running 17.10 or LTS in VMWare and trying to run gedit in a terminal is sufficient repro [01:38] !bug | Arfed [01:38] Arfed: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please report it using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. [01:39] Arfed, please state the exact command you were issuing [01:39] forget it. I'm not wasting any more time with this to file a bug report. it's QA's job to get on top of issues like this [01:40] I've alrady lost around 2 hours to this [01:40] Arfed, that is not going to happen unless we get some exact errors/exact commands issued [01:40] it's simple. install LTS or 17.10 on VMWare, open terminal then type sudo gedit [01:41] looks like Bug #1449748 [01:41] bug 1449748 in Ubuntu "gedit can't run in root terminal" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1449748 [01:43] man this bug is ancient/longstanding judging by that...bump that up to maximum priority [01:43] this is the kind of thing which turns users away for good - I'm only persisting because I have to for work [01:45] Arfed: that report isn't a bug, it's user error. They're trying to use session cookies/auth of another user when logged in as root. As they say, "from a user terminal, " gedit" and "gksu gedit" both work just fine." [01:45] gksu gedit does not work. [01:45] hi guys is there a difference between a vpn scrambler and say a vpn (ipvanish) [01:45] I had to do the workaround I linked to get it working. [01:45] gedit does not work. [01:47] nojitron: that's not really an ubuntu issue, maybe try ##networking or ##security [01:47] just a once off i know this is ubuntu channel-this is my go to channel as i use linux and find linux users better understand most of my it related questions [01:47] understood thanks will do [01:48] hav a lovely day all [01:48] you, too [01:48] if someone is involved with ubuntu or QA and has vmware, take a few mins to install 17.10 or LTS in a fresh VM, then open a terminal, and type gedit or sudo gedit or (after installing it) gksudo gedit [01:49] easy repro. [01:49] Arfed: as og 16.04 tools should be using policykit, via pkexec, not gksudo/gksu. That began being phased out immediately after 14.04 [01:50] fine I'll start up another fresh/throwaway VM and see if that still has an isuse [01:50] Arfed: gksudo shouldn't even be installed on 17.10, it's in the universe repo [01:50] but if I end up wasting my time I'm going to give out about others not putting the effort in too... [01:51] Arfed: make a bug report; this channel is for support not venting. If you want to vent try #ubuntu-discuss [01:51] I will not make a bug report I've wasted enoguh time and if QA cant do their job then I'm not going to bother doing it for them... [01:52] Arfed, then sign up with the existing bug, please dont use this channel as a rant station [01:52] Arfed: fine, then please stop venting, this channel is for support questions [01:53] hello, how can I merge /dev/sdb and /dev/sdb1 [01:54] accidentally wrote a nimage to /dev/sdb1 and now the two filesystems can't be merged [01:54] both are now empty [01:54] fun0: They're already the same thing, sdb 'contains' sdb1 [01:54] @TJ- but I can't write an image on /dev/sdb because the fs is too small(?) [01:54] @TJ- methinks I bunkered the ssd somehow [01:54] fun0: sdb1 simply starts several sectors into sdb.. so do you want to 'move' sdb1 to be start of the device? [01:55] TJ- I want to merge them all so I can write the image to /dev/sdb correctly [01:55] TJ- I used dd to image something on /dev/sdb1 [01:55] fun0: I'm confused, if that's wrong, simply write the image again but use "dd of=/dev/sdb ..." [01:56] TJ- but /dev/sdb only has 4 GiB of space, even though the whole drive is 114G [01:56] dev/sdb1 however has 111GiB available [01:56] Arfed: bugs are highly reccomended as they can help yourself and the community identify and solve issues [01:56] fun0: how are you determining those numbers, what tool are you using? [01:56] TJ- fdisk, gparted [01:56] lotuspsychje, bug reporting :) [01:57] fun0, screenshot [01:57] fun0: can you show us "pastebinit <( sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb) " [01:57] bazhang: tehehehe I just got that :D [01:57] TJ- http://paste.ubuntu.com/26516256/ [01:57] bugs, not so much [01:57] bazhang: thanks for making me laugh out loud [01:58] TJ- http://paste.ubuntu.com/26516257/ is for /dev/sdb1 [01:58] fun0: !$L^&)$)£!!! What the heck of you done there? :D [01:59] fun0: you've managed to somehow change the block device links? [01:59] bazhang: yeah lol [01:59] fun0: show us "pastebinit /proc/partitions" [01:59] TJ- http://paste.ubuntu.com/26516263/ [02:02] fun0: have you accidentally mounted something on top of /dev/sdb1 ? Can you show us "pastebinit /proc/mounts" [02:02] TJ- https://paste.ubuntu.com/26516273/ [02:03] fun0: /proc/partitions shows sdb is 4 blocks bigger than sdb1, and as the physical sectors for sdb1 report as 4096 bytes, that makes total sense [02:05] fun0: hmmm, is it GPT with a strange protective MBR? "pastebinit <( sudo gdisk -l /dev/sdb )" [02:06] TJ- https://paste.ubuntu.com/26516291/ [02:08] fun0: ouch, something wrong there! You say /dev/sdb is an SSD? [02:10] TJ- yes [02:10] fun0: what does this report? "readlink -e /sys/block/sdb/device" [02:11] TJ- /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb3/3-2/3-2:1.0/host3/target3:0:0/3:0:0:0 [02:12] fun0: OK, so it's on a USB<>ATA bridge. I suspect that bridge has failed, either permanently or just for this power cycle. I think you have to remove the USB cplug from PC, remove any external power from the USb device, give it a few seconds, re-power, and re-connect to PC, and check [02:13] fun0: I've seen a lot of cheap/low-quality USB<>ATA bridge chipsets die when you do a sustained write through them, such as 'dd'ing a large disk image - my hypothesis is they overheat [02:14] TJ- indeed [02:14] TJ- how would that mess with the MBR? my current system can detect the two different partitions [02:20] fun0: There are many ways things can get confused, but the point is, the system is obviously confused, so you need to unconfuse it [02:20] fun0: there may be clues in dmesg / /var/log/kern.log - I/O errors, device resets, etc. [02:29] TJ- k thanks [02:34] hello === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash [02:34] hi [02:34] hi === john is now known as Guest66379 === precise is now known as skjafh === skjafh is now known as banevasion === banevasion is now known as canttouchthis === canttouchthis is now known as precise [03:11] whats up ppl [03:13] badboyjer: welcome, what can we do for you?

(machine is laptop with single hard drive) [03:21] scootley: partitioning is really the users choice [03:21] scootley: do you have any special needs/plans or happy with the default partitioning from setup? [03:21] lotuspsychje: right but there is no default supplied for users who want it to be automatic? (I don't have the installer running so I can't check) === wodencafe is now known as wod [03:22] lotuspsychje: no special plans === wod is now known as wodencafe [03:22] lotuspsychje: just want to know what that default is. presumably there is one and the user is not left to just figure it out from nothing [03:23] I tried searching documentation for it but didn't see it any place that seemed official and up to date [03:25] to be clear, I don't need help figuring out a partitioning scheme, I really just want to know what the defaults are [03:28] scootley: if you choose FDE it'll use LVM, not sure if it'll use LVM regardless. I think it will use 2 partitions/LVs, one for rootfs and one for /home/, but it's a long time since I checked on that [03:29] !partitioning | scootley [03:29] scootley: For help with partitioning a new install see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowtoPartition | For partitioning programs, see !GParted (recommended) or !PartitionManager. Other partitioning topics include !fstab, !home, and !swap [03:29] My wireless printer can't find my router which is ubuntu 16.04. Any good ideas? [03:30] TJ-: ok thanks [03:30] oh is ubottu a bot? [03:30] I've already spent literally days trying to resolve this. [03:31] lotuspsychje: thanks although I don't see the defaults documented on that page or the ones it links to [03:33] scootley: I'm checking it now , but with the 18.04 desktop installer [03:33] TJ-: that's probably close enough. thanks! [03:34] I don't think the d-i (debian-installer) partman options for the installer will have changed [03:34] ya probably not (or not too much) [03:35] I'm guessing it'll set some % split if it creates multiples, with a sensible minimum [03:35] ya I am curious about what that % split is and what it does for swap and presumably it is ext4+journaling [03:37] scootley: mechanical hd or ssd? [03:38] lotuspsychje: ssd [03:42] scootley: arghh, "You need at least 8.4 GB disk space to install Ubuntu. This computer only has 0.0 B. " :D [03:43] ha [03:44] another bug!

[04:50] ghostnik11: What does 'sudo apt-get purge mate*' return? please use pastebin === aragorn is now known as john === john is now known as LordJohn [04:52] EoflaOE, it returns this: https://pastebin.com/Rm8vvktw [04:53] EoflaOE, it seems like it will remove everything, i will go and hit accept [04:54] read what packages does it have to remove, and then confirm === Jochen_wvdT is now known as Schlawiner [04:55] Everything is ok. You may accept [04:57] EoflaOE, yeah i already accepted it thanks bro [04:58] you are welcome [05:03] is there a JSON or REST api channel on freenode?

Example usage: "/msg Alis list http" [05:06] need help, my / is on /sda1 and I want to transfer this system on sda6, can it be done? [05:06] im using trusty KDE [05:08] LordJohn, There is clonezilla. I didn't test it yet but it might fit your needs [05:10] EoflaOE, reading it rn, will update in a few min [05:10] ok [05:22] LordJohn: is sda6 the same size as sda1 ? [05:22] Yesterday I installed a previous version of Firefox and it worked. I installed 2 of the plugins, old version of Ad-block Plus and the multiple file downloader. Today, I installed an old version of Browsec and then Firefox crashed. I restarted Firefox, but it keeps crashing. I am on Xubuntu 17.10.1. Firefox version is 49. [05:22] sda6 is larger than sda1 [05:23] TJ-, EoflaOE seems like i'll try using clonezilla to clone, using partition to partition option [05:23] ok. [05:23] thanks for your help, brb [05:23] LordJohn: there's a trick I sometimes use, create an MD mirror (with no metadata) wait for the device to sync then break the mirror and change the fstab entry to point to the preferred device, grub-install, update-grub, and good to go [05:24] MD mirrir? [05:24] LordJohn: Linux's multiple device managment layer, a RAID-1 mirror is two block devices [05:24] care to explain more? [05:25] sda1 and sda6 is on same harddisk [05:25] its just different partition, will it works? [05:25] LordJohn: so you use mdadm to create a mirror with sda1 as the primary, then add sda6. The kernel then syncs the content of sda1 to sda6 (monitored via /proc/mdstats)... once the sync is complete break the mirror, update fstab etc and reboot [05:27] TJ-, I use mdadm from running system or via live system? [05:27] EW-7822ULC <= can someone confirm if this works in linux? and if it works without any extra download drivers etc? [05:29] LordJohn: from running system, no downtime required [05:30] LordJohn: if you can hang on a few minutes I'll test it works here [05:31] TJ-: i still try to read more about it [05:52] LordJohn: Here's the commands I used for my test. If you do this you'd start at line 12 "# create an MD RAID mirror ..." and alter the device paths to match your /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda6 instead of my /dev/VG_DATA/sda1 and /dev/VG_DATA/sda6 [05:52] LordJohn: https://paste.ubuntu.com/26517079/ [06:05] any thoughts on a USB dongle that supports 802.11ac ?

[06:29] Hello :) So im trying to get a ubuntu (14.04) system working on some older (~2007 era) hardware. I've got it installed to a USB drive and I did an apt update/upgrade on it and now it wont boot. Grub comes up, but it's like it hasn't loaded a config. I already tried running grub-install via chroot from a ubuntu 12.04 system on another drive and it doesn't seem to have an effect... When grub comes up it is able to mount and browse the ext4 root [06:29] filesystem, but when I try to cat grub.cfg it reads like a binary file, when I try to cat it from the chroot it reads like a nomral text file... any ideas? [06:33] I would like to amend my last statement, I am trying to get a 16.04 system working, and my chroot host was 14.04 [06:37] Croepha, after grub-install you create a grub.cfg with update-grub or something? [06:38] Amm0n: I am using stop grub.cfg, im not intending to do anything clever here [06:38] Amm0n: meant to say "stock grub.cfg" [06:39] like it reads fine from linux, but the same file reads as garbage from grub [06:40] did you ran update-grub after grub-install? [06:41] Amm0n, nope, should I? Ill try that. from my understanding thats the opposite order of things but im not an expert of-course [06:42] yes you should. this command creates a grub.cfg file [06:43] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [06:48] Can someone pls help me get my python script to run under my user cron? [06:53] *I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 w/xfce4 [06:53] Here's what I've done: [06:53] * I added it to my cronfile via crontab command.

[07:14] It created a 0 byte log [07:17] interestingly, though, it only created it once. It should have been overwritten several times by now, but it's still just the old 0 byte log created about 4 mins ago [07:19] Ok. I figured out what it's doing. It's running... but putting the output in a strange place. [07:19] Thanks Amm0n. :D [07:25]
