| Baltazar | Hiya folks. Question regarding libFLAC. For some reason, it won't install. It doesn't "find it" in the repository. Yet it's part of the dependancies for butt. | 00:29 |
| Baltazar | (butt, the audio software, not the human posterior) | 00:30 |
| ChileStuff | Greetings denizens | 00:31 |
| ChileStuff | Anyone have any knowledge of virtual box? | 00:34 |
| saigel__ | ChileStuff, I'm using it. | 00:35 |
| saigel__ | "Knowledge" is a broad term, though. | 00:35 |
| ChileStuff | I just set it up and installed windows 7, but all I can get it to see is the cd drive, no usb ports | 00:35 |
| saigel__ | Have you installed the Extension Pack? | 00:36 |
| ChileStuff | I need to get it to see a thumb drive or at least a folder outside v-box in linux | 00:36 |
| saigel__ | (This is probably off-topic for this group, though) | 00:36 |
| ChileStuff | Asking about running something in ubuntu is off topic? | 00:36 |
| saigel__ | Yes, and I can tell you it works pretty well. | 00:37 |
| saigel__ | Your question seems to be more about the specifics of VirtualBox, not Ubuntu. | 00:37 |
| brainwash | Baltazar: tried with libflac8? | 00:37 |
| ChileStuff | Ok, so how do we discuss it? | 00:37 |
| ChileStuff | Sorry, new to all this | 00:37 |
| saigel__ | Suggest the #vbox channel on irc.freenode.com | 00:38 |
| ChileStuff | you there to confab? | 00:39 |
| saigel__ | I can go over there. | 00:39 |
| ChileStuff | thanks | 00:39 |
| ChileStuff | saigel__ Did I go to the wrong place ? | 00:42 |
| ChileStuff | I just joined on this network | 00:42 |
| saigel__ | Don't know. I just sent you a message on #vbox on irc.freenode.com | 00:43 |
| alan2 | Using xubuntu 17.10. I need to compile an old piece of software with gcc 4.4.6. I added the 'old releases' oneiric archive to my apt sources, but if I select gcc_base, apt wants to uninstall nearly everything on my system. How can I install & use the old compiler without breaking *everything*. | 00:43 |
| mefistofeles | alan2: no way to compile it with a recent version? for sure? | 00:44 |
| nacc_ | alan2: set up a container? | 00:44 |
| nacc_ | alan2: i mean that's older than what is in the last supported ubuntu | 00:44 |
| nacc_ | alan2: get different software... | 00:44 |
| mefistofeles | nacc_: getting a different software is commonly not an option | 00:45 |
| alan2 | I need to compile IPOPT's mexfile for matlab 2012a, last version to work on my i386 hardware. :( It only compiles with gcc 4.4.6 | 00:47 |
| alan2 | Is it not possible to install two gcc's side by side? | 00:48 |
| === duck_ is now known as ducking | ||
| nacc_ | alan2: well, two *supported* gcc, sure | 00:50 |
| alan2 | I would just download the gcc 4.4.6 debs, but I figure there's a long chain of dependencies, and I'd rather avoid tracking them all down. I thought the oneiric archive would facilitate that, but why can't it just leave the rest of my system alone? | 00:51 |
| nacc_ | alan2: because you're doing a totally unsupported thing | 00:51 |
| nacc_ | alan2: sorry, if you want, you can try and bootstrap a container to use an unsupported release, but it's really just not ontopic for this channel | 00:52 |
| alan2 | nacc: Is it possible to tell apt to just force download & install gcc 4.4.6 with all its dependencies, and ignore imagined conflicts that make it remove things needlessly? | 00:54 |
| nacc_ | alan2: it's not imagining anything | 00:56 |
| nacc_ | alan2: 1) adding oneiric to your working system can fundamentally break things | 00:56 |
| nacc_ | alan2: 2) you can tell dpkg to ignore anything you want, but that is likely to leave your system in a terminally broken state | 00:56 |
| sima | I have a problem with ZFS installed from Ubuntu rpeositories. 'zpool scrub' on partition is terribly slow. (like 7-9kB/s . While pool/filesystems are working just fine at the same time and even if not using ZFS by any process, scrub is still very slow. | 00:56 |
| nacc_ | alan2: you are way better off and either use a VM or LXD | 00:57 |

| TheFocus | Monring. Any ideas how I undate from 16.10 to either LTS or the 17.10??? Keep getting these types of errors: | 01:04 |

| ubottu | TheFocus: 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. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 01:06 |
| nacc_ | TheFocus: 16.10 has been eol for a while ... | 01:06 |
| nacc_ | TheFocus: and there is no yet supported LTS ahead of you (18.04 not yet out) | 01:07 |
| nacc_ | TheFocus: so either reinstall with 16.04, or eol upgrade, or reinstall with 17.10. | 01:07 |
| TheFocus | Thanks. Its been a big 6 months for me!!! Don't want to start fresh so a EOL upgrade might be the best for me... | 01:08 |
| nacc_ | TheFocus: and note you have to do two EOL upgrades | 01:09 |
| nacc_ | 16.10 -> 17.04 -> 17.10 | 01:09 |

| sima | TheFocus, codenames are and were undisired things.. ask: lsb_release -a or cat /etc/*release , etc | 01:42 |
| TJ- | TheFocus: I'd have simply used 'sed' to re-write the existing entries in sources.list, with "sudo sed -i 's/au\.archive/old-releases/' /etc/apt/sources.list" | 01:43 |
| TJ- | TheFocus: if you use that ^^^^ then you can delete those extra CODENAME lines: "sudo sed -i '/CODENAME/ d' /etc/apt/sources.list" | 01:44 |
| jamesrudy | whats up | 01:46 |
| jamesrudy | anyone out there | 01:46 |

| TheFocus | TJ > The first line was commented out... Cut and paste error. Cheers. | 03:13 |

| Neo4 | or sudo apt-get install -f | 03:14 |

| apb1963 | mod_version is statically compiled into Debian/Ubuntu's apache2 packages. You can't install or enable it separately. Its directives will just work out of the box. | 03:39 |
| apb1963 | apachectl -M will show you the loaded modules | 03:39 |

| yuken | if you have an EFI c ompatible machine & you can get into an EFI shell, or edit the EFI partition somehow under Windows, then you can technically install Ubuntu on the same hard drive you boot the installer from. | 04:45 |
| headrx | the limited shell, ya ? | 04:45 |

| headrx | alright, shall trying the dd option | 04:48 |
| headrx | okay, round 3. brb | 04:52 |
| headrx | okay, so ya , no go | 04:58 |
| headrx | im thinking its bc its a larger drive | 04:58 |
| headrx | 16gb | 04:58 |
| yuken | I doubt it. My machine from 2006 can handle a 2TB external over USB. | 04:59 |
| yuken | in the BIOS. | 04:59 |
| badboyjer | what do you think of chromebooks?? | 04:59 |
| headrx | i mean, ive made numerous bootable usbs in the past (diff computer), and never one issue | 04:59 |
| yuken | Write a new DOS partition table to it. | 05:00 |
| azizLIGHT | can latest ubuntu or LTS use media keys on lock screen succesfully? (volume up/down, next track and previous track) ? | 05:00 |
| headrx | yuken, how to do so ? | 05:03 |
| yuken | No clue. | 05:03 |
| headrx | ok, no go | 05:18 |
| headrx | so i had a thought | 05:18 |
| headrx | windows ubuntu installer.. said it has been discontinued | 05:18 |
| headrx | what if i just install the older version using the WUBI, and then upgrade once i can boot from it | 05:19 |
| Ben64 | no | 05:19 |
| headrx | then what | 05:20 |
| lotuspsychje | headrx: wubi is outdated and not suggested anymore | 05:20 |
| lotuspsychje | headrx: what are you trying to achieve? | 05:22 |
| headrx | read above | 05:22 |
| lotuspsychje | headrx: i just joined | 05:23 |
| headrx | Oh. long and skinny. windows 8.just bought a flash drive. unetbootin > ubuntu on the drive.. cant boot from it. trying to install ububntu, no other computers | 05:24 |
| lotuspsychje | headrx: try to make your usb with universal usb installer | 05:25 |
| lotuspsychje | !usb | headrx | 05:25 |
| ubottu | headrx: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 05:25 |
| headrx | ive made a bunch of different usbs in the past. no stranger to this. this one is just not working correctly | 05:25 |
| headrx | my bios seen the flash drive at first, wouldnt boot, and was gone from the boot options in further reboots | 05:26 |
| lotuspsychje | headrx: try universal usb installer or rufus anyway, unetbooting doesnt always work properly | 05:26 |
| headrx | tried rufus | 05:26 |
| lotuspsychje | headrx: are you gonna install ubuntu singleboot? | 05:26 |
| headrx | lotuspsychje, yes | 05:26 |
| lotuspsychje | headrx: disable fastboot & secureboot in your bios, then F12 to load your ubuntu liveusb | 05:27 |
| headrx | ill try that | 05:27 |
| headrx | thanks | 05:27 |
| Ghosthree3 | trying to invoke systemctl as my regular user returns "Failed to connect to bus: No such file or directory", works fine as root. any idea why? | 05:27 |
| catbehemoth | 18.04 is the next lts version right? | 05:34 |
| lotuspsychje | catbehemoth: yes | 05:35 |
| lotuspsychje | catbehemoth: you can already try the development branch at #ubuntu+1 if you like | 05:35 |
| catbehemoth | Ill wait till april to try it. Kinda had a brain fart and wasn't sure when the next lts was due. | 05:36 |
| lotuspsychje | catbehemoth: well the upgrade lts to lts will come later, when 18.04.1 is released | 05:43 |
| lotuspsychje | catbehemoth: the april install, is the users choice but can still sort out alot of bugs | 05:43 |

| Space-Duck | Does "apt-get install atheme-services" create the atheme.conf files somewhere? Or do I need to manually create them? | 05:53 |
| badboyjer | type locate atheme.conf | 05:55 |
| EriC^^ | Space-Duck: "dpkg -L atheme-services" shows all installed files of the package | 05:57 |
| Space-Duck | dpkg -L atheme-services | grep conf | 05:58 |
| Space-Duck | gives me a sad face | 05:58 |
| iiita | Can anyone help how to connect hexchat to the IRCserver created on localhost ? | 05:59 |
| Space-Duck | badboyjer, minimal server install... locate is not installed :( no updatedb | 05:59 |
| badboyjer | oh ok | 06:00 |
| badboyjer | that sucks | 06:00 |
| Space-Duck | iiita, /server 127.0.0.1 | 06:00 |
| krytarik | Space-Duck: Then you'll have seen the '/usr/share/doc/atheme-services/examples/atheme.conf.example.gz' there. | 06:11 |
| Space-Duck | yeah, but now I'm wondering where to put it.... /etc/atheme/atheme.conf ? | 06:12 |
| table15 | I am booted to the ubuntu live cd desktop what is the default root password? | 06:21 |
| Space-Duck | table15, there is no root for you... only sudo | 06:23 |
| krytarik | Space-Duck: Try asking in #atheme | 06:24 |
| table15 | not good | 06:25 |
| krytarik | Space-Duck: But it would seem that's just '/etc/atheme.conf' | 06:34 |
| mekhami | https://gist.github.com/mekhami/0654db33ac467c46667d4b187cd0e7e4 can someone help me understand what i'm reading? | 06:36 |
| badboyjer | try dpkg --configure -a | 06:36 |
| mekhami | nothing happened | 06:37 |
| badboyjer | oh | 06:37 |
| badboyjer | not sure then | 06:37 |
| badboyjer | do you have synaptic installed? | 06:37 |
| mekhami | idk? | 06:37 |
| krytarik | Space-Duck: Or, having gathered further information now, you might be right there. | 06:38 |
| Neo4 | mekhami: try this sudo apt-get install -f and this sudo apt-get clean and this sudo apt-get install -i | 06:38 |
| badboyjer | apt install synaptic | 06:38 |
| mekhami | Neo4 ▸ Command line option 'i' is not understood in combination with the other options | 06:38 |
| Neo4 | mekhami: don't use it | 06:38 |
| Neo4 | it's I confused | 06:39 |
| mekhami | yeah nothing happened when i did that | 06:39 |
| badboyjer | try to install synaptic | 06:39 |
| badboyjer | apt get install synaptic | 06:39 |
| mekhami | why | 06:39 |
| badboyjer | apt install synaptic | 06:39 |
| badboyjer | then you can download appropriate packages | 06:39 |
| Neo4 | mekhami: you need somehow remove that broken packege and download new, I forgot command, I did it before a few times | 06:39 |
| mekhami | i'm just gonna forget it and move it to a docker container. | 06:41 |
| badboyjer | ok go for it | 06:41 |
| badboyjer | mekhami any luck | 06:56 |
| mekhami | with docker, sure | 06:56 |
| badboyjer | you could of just used synaptic and downloaded and installed packages manually | 06:57 |

| jimbo18 | Hi folks I want a persistent Ubuntu on a 16GB USB 3.0 stick. Has anyone tried a full install on a 16GB stick? Does the OS destroy the device quickly? I'm looking also at /tmp ramdisks etc | 09:15 |
| aderieg | #leave | 09:20 |
| jimbo18 | I remember a version of Puppy Linux that booted off USB and then somehow copied the kernel/OS to RAM, and then you could actually REMOVE the USB. Puppy ran with ROOT as the user - anything like that possible with Ubuntu? | 09:30 |
| jimbo18 | I want a multi-user OS entirely in RAM. | 09:30 |
| jimbo18 | 8GB | 09:31 |
| dingir | hrm i dont know | 09:34 |
| aderieg | quit | 09:34 |
| dingir | jimbo18 why that | 09:34 |
| jimbo18 | dingir I am fascinated by the entire OS operating in RAM - I know that there will have to be some sort of writeback to a device for "persistence" - it's just to see if it's possible. | 09:37 |
| dingir | dunno.. | 09:38 |
| ducasse | jimbo18: see https://calvin.me/create-persistent-ubuntu-16-04-live-usb-even-boots-ram/ or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootToRAM | 09:44 |

| DrManhattan | id give a million dollars to a person who would write a dd-wrt like interface for Ubuntu :) | 10:07 |
| brainwash | mender27: you have to rebuild the package with support for mmnormalize, or use some PPA | 10:08 |

| sylario | My Ubuntu VM freeze on dev/sda1: clean, I can retrieve a tty terminal, and when I shut down, a grey screen with a loading can be seen, in 2560*1440. I tried do update, and also to remove nvidia (despite being on a virtualbox). Not sure what to do next | 10:50 |
| SimonNL | ppf: does your menu have something called preferred app's or so | 10:55 |
| ppf | SimonNL: i don't have a menu | 10:55 |
| SimonNL | then I don't know ppf sorry | 10:56 |
| SimonNL | using linux mint here | 10:56 |
| sylario | Ok, so if i disable the second screen, ubuntu start | 10:56 |

| sima | ZFS packages on Linux are buggy. It just hang on 'sudo zpool export poolname' | 11:03 |
| sima | scrub is slow as few KBytes/s. I am on 17.10 64bit | 11:03 |
| sima | and doesn't react to crtl+c | 11:04 |
| sima | zpool process that hangs also can't be killed, not even with -9 | 11:06 |
| sima | maybe zfs and zpool toolset needs recompilation? | 11:06 |
| ppf | SimonNL: nope, it's not managed via alternatives | 11:07 |
| ppf | SimonNL: i was able to set it in mimeapps, though :) | 11:07 |
| SimonNL | was looking for that file | 11:09 |
| calimero_82 | hi i ve problem with lxpanel, system panel, doesn t work good... | 11:11 |
| sima | calimero_82, you can report it to lubuntu guys and maybe also to LXDE people | 11:13 |
| sima | anyway, reporting bugs on ubuntu is good | 11:13 |
| cfhowlett | calimero_82, ask #lubuntu or #lxde | 11:14 |
| ikonia | blindly reporting bugs is not good | 11:14 |
| ikonia | working a problem through and reporting a bug if required is the ideal situation | 11:14 |
| sima | ikonia, agreed. do you generally recomment asking around first before reporting and sticking to work on it or first report then work on it and ask around? | 11:15 |
| ikonia | sima: depends on how clear the bug is, other reports of similar problems, bugs that exist in the upstream package etc. | 11:18 |

| respawn1 | hello. Does anyone know which image of Ubuntu Server can be installed on a PC Engine APU 1D4? | 11:35 |
| ATLowther | When I right click on an application and choose open with >, how do I get a certain application to show up? More specifically, I want to open a file with sublime text, but it isn't showing up. | 11:35 |
| jjh | It comes with a file named install.sh, and instructions to run it... | 11:35 |
| jjh | but nothing happens with sudo ./install.sh | 11:36 |
| ppf | respawn1: that's an amd64 core, right? | 11:37 |
| ppf | so i guess that one should work, instruction-set wise | 11:37 |
| respawn1 | ppf:correct | 11:37 |
| ppf | no idea about driver support though | 11:37 |
| ppf | just try :) | 11:37 |
| ppf | jjh: so, we're here for the ubuntu support, not openni | 11:38 |
| hht | have you check the sh file 's permission? you need to add +x to that file. | 11:39 |
| jjh | hht: yes I've done chmod +x | 11:39 |
| hht | what does that file do ? can you show me the content of it? | 11:40 |
| SimonNL | jjh: running it in the folder containing the file ? | 11:42 |
| jjh | hht: https://pastebin.com/embed_js/nutQYMgH | 11:42 |
| jjh | SimonNL: Yes, in the terminal | 11:42 |
| ppf | jjh: how do you know it doen't do anything | 11:43 |
| SimonNL | jjh: and prompt showing correct folder ? | 11:43 |
| jjh | ppf: I've used it on windows before and it unpacks NiViewer. Whereas here, there is no feedback in the terminal or any change in the files | 11:44 |
| respawn1 | ppf: will I be able to use the regular iso or do I need the img file since I'm stalling it on an SD Card | 11:45 |
| ppf | jjh: file OpenNIDevEnvironment | 11:45 |
| ppf | respawn1: i guess the iso | 11:46 |
| ppf | sorry, img | 11:46 |
| respawn1 | ppf: thanks | 11:46 |

| jjh | ppf: before using the .sh | 11:49 |
| === Guest82608 is now known as cody-girl | ||
| ppf | jjh: check its contents then, but all the script does is create and fill this file | 11:50 |
| JimBunbtu | cody-girl, VirtualBox works well | 11:50 |
| ppf | Guest59292: host or guest? | 11:50 |
| cody-girl | JimBunbtu, thank you | 11:51 |
| cody-girl | I will install Kali in a virtualbox on my ubuntu | 11:51 |
| JimBunbtu | cody-girl, That shuold work fine... Kali is kinda "old" now, though, it gets the job done. | 11:52 |
| jjh | ppf: It's an empty plain text file | 11:52 |
| IhrFussel | Is it normal that 11 GB of my 12 are cached while only 1 is in actual use? It tells me only 0.4 GB are "free" | 11:53 |
| cody-girl | JimBunbtu, you yes but for some things I should work on it give easy solution... Btw is ubuntu the best linux ? I mean modern and fast and friendly with known softwares etc? | 11:53 |
| cfhowlett | "best" is entirely subjective. | 11:54 |
| JimBunbtu | IhrFussel, The point of RAM is to be of use. What's "regular" really depends on your settings and usage... but I will say that "free" RAM isn't of much use if it's "free" | 11:54 |
| JimBunbtu | cody-girl, as cfhowlett said, "best" is subjective. I think Ubuntu is a great mix of modern, simple and "freely" supported | 11:54 |
| TJ- | !ram | IhrFussel | 11:55 |
| ubottu | IhrFussel: If you are wondering why some tools report your system has very little free memory, have a look at http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | 11:55 |
| Kon- | Ubuntu has the "friendly" and "known software" parts | 11:55 |
| Kon- | But for fast and modern, you need to install KDE | 11:56 |
| IhrFussel | This is what free -n reports https://pastebin.com/NFJTs5Ny | 11:56 |
| IhrFussel | -m* | 11:56 |
| cody-girl | cfhowlett, Your right. YEs JimBunbtu thats the way I see.. | 11:56 |
| cody-girl | Can I ask one last question. Is kali os setup file for a virtual machine is different than regular kali os setup file? | 11:57 |
| IhrFussel | I also wonder why swap is used if less than 10% RAM are in use | 11:57 |
| respawn1 | ppf: sorry to keep picking on you! My PC Engine is headless, will I able to install Ubuntu server on the SD Card on my PC and then transfer it to the PC Engine? Or is there another way to configure headless servers | 11:57 |
| ppf | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/NetworkConsole | 11:58 |
| JimBunbtu | cody-girl, Last I knew, Kali was an installable OS, although not intended to be a primary OS... very purpose specific. | 11:59 |
| JimBunbtu | cody-girl, Probably good to mention there will be little if any support provided for Kali in this channel as it isn't (wasn't) based on Ubuntu | 12:00 |
| Kon- | Too bad the guy from Mr. Robot didn't use Gentoo | 12:00 |
| respawn1 | ppf: thank you! | 12:00 |
| cody-girl | JimBunbtu, Your right sorry... Thanks for help guys. wishing you a good day | 12:01 |
| JimBunbtu | cody-girl, No worries, felt I had to say the obvious before an op did, lol. Have a great day/night. | 12:02 |
| Kon- | The solution is to install an Ubuntu-based system if you are new to Linux | 12:02 |
| IhrFussel | ubottu, thanks for the link...regarding swap I read it's fine as long as the "used" sap value doesn't change a lot...is that correct? | 12:05 |
| ubottu | IhrFussel: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 12:05 |
| IhrFussel | Oops xD | 12:05 |
| JimBunbtu | IhrFussel, ubottu is smart, just not a conversationalist. | 12:06 |
| IhrFussel | I overlooked the command before the bot reply sorry =P ... Hmm I'm using a SSD so swap may not be that much of a problem actually | 12:08 |
| JimBunbtu | IhrFussel, I would keep my swappiness a bit on the lower side if using SSD. I'm still not a big fan of the duty life of most SSD, I'm also really OCD when it comes to those things... | 12:09 |
| IhrFussel | JimBunbtu, do you mean SSD break sooner? | 12:11 |
| JimBunbtu | IhrFussel, they sure do. | 12:11 |
| IhrFussel | I heard other things o.o People telling me that they should live longer since nothing is moving inside them | 12:12 |
| Sterist | can anyone confirm or deny if rescuedd will in fact give an error if space runs out while creating an image? | 12:12 |
| JimBunbtu | IhrFussel, check it out online, you can get a full breakdown from various places. They do not have the same RW capacities as magnetic drives due to what they are made of. That's what I am referring to... versus the possible write head failures of HDD (pretty uncommon). | 12:13 |
| === crogers_ is now known as crogers | ||
| JimBunbtu | IhrFussel, please don't get me wrong, it really depends on HOW you use them. If you are writing/rewriting tons of times... then SSD will be faster in how it works and in when it fails. There are built-in systems to prevent the failures from effecting you as a user and to push them off as long as possible though, so that's a plus... without those built-in mechanisms, I don't think they would really even be viable though. | 12:15 |
| Sterist | not all SSDs have wear leveling | 12:16 |
| Sterist | as bad as that sounds | 12:16 |
| JimBunbtu | Sterist, I thought all modern ones did (as in the last 5 years) | 12:16 |
| linux_ | irc://irc.abjects.net:6667/moviegods | 12:16 |
| ecormier | most ssds these days there is nothing to worry about with writes... | 12:17 |
| Sterist | I finished up my SSD research after I got my second evo850 last year ago, can't regal the details | 12:17 |
| IhrFussel | I got a root server with SSD which runs a game server... writes are very frequently (game is like MC where each modified block needs to get logged) | 12:17 |
| ecormier | I've been compiling heavily on a few for over 5 year with no issues... | 12:17 |
| Sterist | can anyone please confirm or deny if rescuedd will in fact give an error if space runs out while creating an image? | 12:18 |
| Sterist | or just continue to create a corrupt image | 12:18 |
| akik | !piracy | linux_ | 12:19 |
| ubottu | linux_: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music, and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o | 12:19 |
| ecormier | and I don't use swap :) | 12:19 |
| JimBunbtu | Sterist, I see ddrescue will generate a "ddrescue: write error: No space left on device" message | 12:20 |
| Sterist | is that via log file or process terminated | 12:21 |
| JimBunbtu | IhrFussel, to continue on what ecormier has said, I too use SSD and have not had an issue, I am only aware of the greater limitations. I suspect you will be fine. | 12:21 |
| JimBunbtu | Sterist, process stopped | 12:21 |
| Sterist | wuhoo I can only lose time then | 12:22 |
| Sterist | I am actually doing this because of a bad block on the SSD I had in my ps3 | 12:22 |
| JimBunbtu | Where you running Ubuntu on the PS3? (please say yes although it doesn't matter) | 12:23 |
| Sterist | apparently SSD's are more prone to bad blocks from sudden power loss then HDD. never again putting one in | 12:23 |
| frostschutz | some SSD can't handle power loss, others do. | 12:24 |
| Sterist | actually, I have a ps3 on 3.15 that still has Ubuntu 10.10 installed | 12:24 |
| JimBunbtu | Sterist, super-cool. | 12:25 |
| Sterist | but #1 that's not the unit I've had the trouble with, and #2 it's GPU is dead anyways ;( | 12:25 |

| SkFire | Hey guys,is there anyone in here? Need some help. Trying to mount ntfs filesystem but it's inhibernate mode. But not remove_hibernate not ntfsfix help me in this. Is there any workaround on it? | 12:54 |
| JimBunbtu | SkFire, https://askubuntu.com/questions/145902/unable-to-mount-windows-ntfs-filesystem-due-to-hibernation | 12:55 |
| SkFire | Yeah. I try to follow it, but I'm not able to start Windows 8. So need to delete that hibernate file. But workaround is not working... | 12:57 |
| SkFire | JimBunbtu, any other idea on it? | 12:59 |
| akik | SkFire: the option seems to be remove_hiberfile, not remove_hibernate | 13:01 |
| akik | SkFire: you could also pastebin the output from running ntfsfix | 13:02 |
| SkFire | akik: Looks like it worked...I feel myself awkward right now... I read a lot of different articles before getting here and looks like I just put a wrong command.... All the time... | 13:05 |
| akik | SkFire: which one command? | 13:05 |
| SkFire | remove_hibernate instead of remove_hiberfile | 13:05 |

| Vens | Hello, I currently tether my internet connection from my phone to my ubuntu-pi via USB cable. And then from the GUI I share my connection to all other connections. Is there a simple way to achieve this from the command line? | 13:13 |
| akik | Vens: you can automate network interface configuration also in /etc/network/interfaces | 13:16 |
| akik | Vens: e.g. you can run commands before an interface is brought up | 13:17 |
| akik | Vens: pre-up and post-up are the keywords | 13:18 |
| Vens | akaik: Thanks, I will have a look | 13:19 |
| TJ- | Vens: Simply use nmcli and/or nmtui to control Network Manager from the CLI | 13:20 |
| ecormier | nmtui is great, allowed me to get away from depreciated wicd | 13:22 |
| TJ- | I think because NM was mainly used on the desktop many people assumed it was a GUI thing, when in fact all they saw was a GUI management tool for the NM service | 13:23 |
| ecormier | yup, but I really missed the ncurses interface over cli commands | 13:24 |
| TJ- | Originally, it required sending manual DBus messages ! | 13:25 |

| Exterminador | hello guys. stupid question. I've installed a deb package with `dpkg -i pkgname.deb`. how do I know who owns the package (user, group, etc). | 14:05 |
| TJ- | Exterminador: the question doesn't make sense... users/groups don't 'own' packages | 14:05 |
| Exterminador | I'd like to know who have the permissions to start/stop/etc the service provided by the package. sorry if I don't explain myself well, but that's what happens when English is not your native language | 14:07 |
| Exterminador | if this makes any sense | 14:07 |
| TJ- | happycoder: For the ext4 FS, I would presume it's root directory is owned by UID 0. You'd need to change ownership, or possibly permissions, to allow (O)thers to write/execute from it with "chmod o+rwx /path/to/mountpoint" in your own PC first | 14:07 |
| TJ- | Exterminador: Ahhh, that depends on what the package installs for service control. Listing the content of the package can sometimes help pinpoint which files handle that, as in "dpkg -L packagename" | 14:08 |
| Exterminador | hum. the executable is in `/usr/bin/`. and a `ls -lh executable` gives me `-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root ...`. so I can assume that only root (or sudoers) have permission to start/stop the service? | 14:12 |
| akik | Exterminador: the file permissions just tell you what kind of permissions different users in your system have to that file | 14:16 |
| akik | Exterminador: i.e. in your example, all users can read and try to execute the file | 14:16 |
| akik | Exterminador: but it's another question whether the application can start, according to what resources it needs to run | 14:17 |
| TJ- | Exterminador: usually, if a system service is installed the debian package .postinst script adds appropriate user/group entries to /etc/{passwd,group} and there will be a reference to the user/group names in the service startup config/scripts | 14:18 |
| Exterminador | this is what `dpkg -L pkgname` gave to me: https://paste.ubuntu.com/26530063/ | 14:21 |
| Exterminador | tho, i don't fully understand the output | 14:21 |
| TJ- | Exterminador: the service start-up file is "/etc/init.d/kiwiirc" so read that see if it indicates a user/group being used to start the process | 14:21 |
| TJ- | Exterminador: you might also get the info the sneaky way - list the last additions to user/group: "tail -n 1 /etc/passwd /etc/group" | 14:22 |
| Exterminador | it doesn't have a group (not explicitly) but has `user=root` on the init.d script | 14:24 |
| Exterminador | thanks for the tips guys. :) | 14:27 |

| JimBunbtu | gopal, You shouldn't need to remove the battery... simply press and hold the power button for maybe up to 15 seconds to physically power off the motherboard | 14:49 |
| gopal | JimBunbtu: in that case it starts again | 14:49 |

| TJ- | gopal: You can ask, but I doubt you'll even be able to reach someone who has the knowledge to know who to ask within HP. Likely you'll just get fobbed off with various 'tests' and 'excuses' and then ignored - that's what I saw in the HP forums for others who tried to get a solution | 14:54 |

| EoflaOE | Did you create EFI system partition which has the mountpoint of /boot/efi and the size of at least 200 mb, which has boot flag and the filesystem FAT32? | 15:36 |
| EoflaOE | ubuntusami ^ | 15:36 |
| ChileStuff | Sorry I can't help | 15:37 |
| ubuntusami | I'm not that smart at computers.. I couldn't understand what you said | 15:37 |
| Jazzy_J | EoflaOE, Doesn't the EFI partition have to be at the beginning of the physical drive? My memory fails me. I always put it there as a matter of habit. | 15:39 |
| EoflaOE | Yes, it should be at the beginning. | 15:39 |
| ubuntusami | What should I do so i can have a normal install? | 15:39 |

| ubuntusami | How can I fix this | 15:40 |
| ubuntusami | anyone? | 15:41 |
| EoflaOE | Shrink the first partition by shrinking to 21GB, then create a partition which has the FAT32 filesystem, the "Boot" flag, 200 MB partition, and the mount directory in /boot/efi. Then, reinstall grub and see if that works. | 15:43 |
| EoflaOE | Make sure that the EFI partition always have to be the first partition before every partition. | 15:44 |
| ubuntusami | Is there any video on youtube you can reccomend?.. I can't understand what you mean | 15:44 |
| EoflaOE | I will try to look around youtube. | 15:45 |
| ubuntusami | Thanks.. it will really help me | 15:45 |
| EoflaOE | You are welcome | 15:45 |
| Jazzy_J | ubuntusami, can you tell me what version of Ubuntu you are installing? | 15:48 |
| ubuntusami | Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS | 15:48 |
| ubuntusami | I already have ubuntu on this computer | 15:48 |
| ubuntusami | I was reinstalling it | 15:49 |
| Jazzy_J | ubuntusami, thanks. | 15:49 |
| EoflaOE | Try this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHIIPXw_7o0 | 15:49 |
| ubuntusami | lemme check | 15:49 |
| ubuntusami | ok | 15:51 |
| ubuntusami | after following that video.. is won | 15:52 |
| ubuntusami | I won't get the grub problem ? | 15:52 |
| EoflaOE | I am sure you won't get the grub problem. | 15:52 |
| ubuntusami | right now I am chatting from the same computer... Can I go to the disks area and delete all partitions ? | 15:53 |
| ubuntusami | will that help? | 15:53 |
| Jazzy_J | ubuntusami, you will loose everything. I suggest resizing/moving the partitions that you have. | 15:54 |
| EoflaOE | Are you sure that you don't want to have many partitions or important data? | 15:54 |
| ubuntusami | I already made a backup of my files | 15:54 |
| ubuntusami | pics , videos and stuff | 15:54 |
| EoflaOE | Where? At the USB? | 15:54 |
| ubuntusami | https://i.imgur.com/0hzh63x.jpg what can i remove while i chat with you guys | 15:54 |
| ubuntusami | yes | 15:55 |
| ubuntusami | I made a back up in my other usb | 15:55 |
| eising | okay, I solved my problem from before. If anyone should see this and wonder how: Apparently using a cache disk in LVM and then upgrading to 17.10 renders the cached disk unable to boot. The solution is to apt-get install thin-provisioning-tools | 15:55 |
| Jazzy_J | are you making a dual-boot system with microsoft windows? I notice you have an NTFS partition. If you are, Windows must be installed first, then Ubuntu. | 15:56 |
| ubuntusami | I already had ubuntu | 15:56 |
| ubuntusami | I am trying to reinstall it | 15:56 |
| ubuntusami | now stuck in between | 15:56 |
| ubuntusami | ok | 15:58 |
| ubuntusami | im gonna follow that video | 15:58 |
| ubuntusami | hopefully all works out | 15:59 |
| EoflaOE | then resize the first partition to 21GB. and create an EFI partition like the video will do. | 15:59 |

| Scott0_ | yes, I've tried nomodeset, setting vga to ask, as well as disabling ahci | 16:31 |
| Scott0_ | :/ | 16:32 |
| Scott0_ | when I did the vga=ask I would continue and then it would display something about decompression error | 16:33 |

| EriC^^ | [twisti]: it's a mystery to me too, maybe the logs will show something | 16:45 |
| hansz | It's like the window that is in fullscreen is covering the window switcher. | 16:45 |
| hansz | It is like that *almost* always; but not always. | 16:45 |
| [twisti] | nope, gone from swapon after the reboot. headless server, so no watching the console during reboot | 16:45 |

| [twisti] | but i copied it from blkid earlier when you told me the swapon -U for the first time, thats why it worked there | 16:47 |

| neurre | zergut, type "ftp" to search | 17:13 |
| neurre | zergut, it shows Filezilla and bareFTP | 17:13 |

| TJ- | chrowe[m]: check what is reported in /var/log/syslog - network manager is very verbose. It may be failing DHCP | 17:17 |
| genii | chrowe[m]: Also if there's some dhcp server | 17:17 |
| chrowe[m] | @genil it works fine when I boot into Windows, so I don't think it is the cable | 17:17 |
| chrowe[m] | genii: If there was a dhcp server issue, wouldn't it also be a problem for wifi? Also, I have the same issue on other networks | 17:19 |
| TJ- | chrowe[m]: is it an Intel ethernet device? We've had a few issues recently with Intel ethernet where the Windows driver set's the Wake On LAN options into a state that Linux cannot initialise. The symptom is Linux can receive packets on the interface but cannot send any because the Tx side is stuck 'asleep' | 17:19 |
| Trel | TJ-: Don't believe that's the case, I've had to do that recently for another app and haven't installed anything since. MonkeyDust, I'll give that a look | 17:20 |
| TJ- | chrowe[m]: See what device it is with "lspci -nn -d ::0200" | 17:20 |
| genii | chrowe[m]: dhcp could be on 2 different devices. For instance a DSL modem with no wifi to a switch assigning numbers to wired things but then a router with wifi is attached to that giving out numbers to things connecting by that method | 17:21 |

| eXino | I'm seeking some assistance with my ubuntu setup. I need my capture card to work with Linux, if possible that is... I've read that in some cases, windows drivers may be applied to linux, some how... How would I go about doing that for Ubuntu? | 18:06 |
| EoflaOE | kostkon: I think so. | 18:06 |
| EoflaOE | but I would manage my docks for Docky. | 18:06 |
| Trel | TJ-: any other clue what it may be? I'm thinking of just editing the /etc/default/keyboard at this point, but I'm still curious why that's not running. | 18:09 |
| Trel | You said something provides functions to it, could that be what's not working? | 18:09 |
| alien64 | eXino: what brand of card? | 18:13 |
| eXino | alien64: Ah of course, important info. It's the AVerMedia Live Gamer HD C985 that I wish to get working in OBS on my Linux machine, if that's even possible. | 18:13 |
| EoflaOE | Thanks anyways for help, The program I was compiling is obsolete. | 18:15 |
| === freeasanode_ is now known as freeasanode | ||
| alien64 | eXino: https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/AVerMedia | 18:16 |
| alien64 | that may be of use | 18:16 |
| eXino | alien64: Yeah, I looked at that. I can't seem to find my card there so I hoped for a workaround :) | 18:17 |
| Zythyr | How can I use result of grep to perform aditional action? Like I want to do "ls -la | grep hello*.txt SOMETHING HERE". SOMETHING here is a commond I want to perform for every matching file which containts the patter hello*.txt | 18:17 |
| alien64 | i would say its un supported your best chance is like you say windows drivers in linux. there is a program i just cant think of is name. if it cmes to me ill contact you sorry. | 18:18 |
| eXino | alien64: This perhaps? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper | 18:19 |
| alien64 | maybe run a vm of windows let windows do it | 18:19 |

| JonelethIrenicus | is 4.15 in the repos yet? | 18:36 |
| irk0in | hello | 18:37 |
| yosefrow | hey | 18:37 |
| irk0in | on trusty | 18:37 |
| irk0in | route -v | 18:37 |
| irk0in | I have 3 ifaces | 18:38 |
| nacc_ | JonelethIrenicus: no, and it would only be for 18.04, which is #ubuntu+1 | 18:38 |
| irk0in | 3 differnt networks | 18:38 |
| irk0in | when I run route -v | 18:38 |
| irk0in | under gateway there are * | 18:38 |
| irk0in | asterisks | 18:38 |
| JonelethIrenicus | nacc_: not even with hwe? | 18:38 |
| irk0in | what do those asterisks mean? | 18:38 |
| yosefrow | from `man route` -v select verbose operation. | 18:40 |
| yosefrow | -n show numerical addresses instead of trying to determine symbolic host names. This is useful if you are trying to determine why the route to your name‐ | 18:40 |
| yosefrow | server has vanished. | 18:40 |
| kostkon | JonelethIrenicus, it's too new | 18:40 |
| irk0in | ahhh | 18:41 |
| irk0in | thank you! | 18:41 |
| nacc_ | JonelethIrenicus: not until 16.04.5 | 18:41 |
| yosefrow | irk0in, its possible route is trying to resolve 0.0.0.0 but shows * instead because it cant be resolved | 18:41 |
| JonelethIrenicus | kostkon: ok just really hoping to get it so I can get those sweet sweet temprature sensors working for threadripper | 18:41 |
| irk0in | you are correct | 18:41 |
| nacc_ | JonelethIrenicus: and hwe follow the development release anyways | 18:41 |
| yosefrow | try route -n instead | 18:41 |
| JonelethIrenicus | nacc_: ok thanks | 18:41 |
| irk0in | I did the route -n | 18:41 |
| irk0in | its showing 0.0.0.0 | 18:41 |
| yosefrow | which means any ip | 18:41 |
| irk0in | awesome | 18:41 |
| irk0in | thank you | 18:41 |
| apb1963 | irk0in, The route command is deprecated. Use "ip route" instead | 18:41 |
| yosefrow | or all ips | 18:41 |
| irk0in | im running trusty | 18:42 |
| yosefrow | apb1963, how do you determine the gateway with ip route? | 18:43 |
| apb1963 | yosefrow, well, mine says: default via 174.134.xx.xx dev enp6s0 | 18:45 |
| yosefrow | apb1963, thanks, great tip! adding it to my toolkit.`ip a` and `ip r` ftw | 18:46 |
| apb1963 | irk0in, The iproute suite was introduced around the 2.2 kernel line and is almost ten years old | 18:46 |
| irk0in | ahh ok | 18:46 |
| irk0in | yea I just ran it and i have it installed | 18:46 |
| yosefrow | apb1963, ppl just dont want to let go of their ifconfigs | 18:46 |
| irk0in | lol | 18:46 |
| apb1963 | yosefrow, neither did I | 18:46 |
| yosefrow | :P | 18:46 |
| irk0in | good old ifconfig | 18:47 |
| yosefrow | im slowly convincing ppl at work to switch to ip by telling them its depecrated every time they try to run it | 18:47 |
| apb1963 | yosefrow, but... being yelled by web pages and /topics enough, forced me to figure it out. | 18:47 |
| yosefrow | and showing them how small ip commands are | 18:47 |
| neurre | i ejected usb drive and now it wont show up | 18:47 |
| neurre | even after unplugging and reinsterting | 18:47 |
| yosefrow | apb1963, i just saw "ifconfig is depecrated" and saw it wasnt included in some docker images, while ip was. That was enough for me. | 18:48 |
| apb1963 | What really got me going was a page that had an "old" "new" substitution. A cheat sheet. | 18:48 |
| yosefrow | oh? i should google that | 18:48 |
| lotuspsychje | neurre: tail -f /var/log/syslog and plugout/plugin | 18:48 |
| yosefrow | @lotuspsychje, whats the command for posting logs to pastebin | 18:49 |
| yosefrow | i forgot it | 18:49 |
| neurre | lotuspsychje, I get sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk | 18:49 |
| neurre | lotuspsychje, and lsusb shows the sd card reader, but nautilus wont show the device, nor sudo fdisk -l | 18:50 |
| yosefrow | found it `echo something | nc termbin.com 9999` | 18:51 |
| lotuspsychje | neurre: hastebin us the whole output from syslog tail | 18:51 |
| yosefrow | @neurre, `tail /var/log/syslog | nc termbin.com 9999` | 18:52 |
| yosefrow | paste the link here | 18:53 |
| suhdood | Are the cloud features on LibreOffice 5.3-6.0 on by default or need to be setup first? | 18:53 |
| neurre | http://termbin.com/2pnv | 18:53 |
| neurre | it is sdcard reader, with sdcard to microsdcard adapter in it, with microsdcard in it | 18:54 |
| neurre | and it worked before i ejected it in nautilus | 18:54 |
| neurre | then it did not come back alive when i unplugged and replugged | 18:54 |
| apb1963 | yosefrow, Or... pastebinit <<< $(cat filename) | 18:55 |
| neurre | then i rebooted ubuntu, that did not help | 18:55 |
| lotuspsychje | neurre: have you tried reformatting it with gparted? | 18:55 |
| ceibal | ghjy | 18:55 |
| ceibal | nbj | 18:55 |
| neurre | lotuspsychje, fdisk -l doesnt show up the device... | 18:55 |
| yosefrow | apb1963, nice solution as well | 18:55 |
| kostkon | neurre, did you umount it before unplugging it | 18:55 |
| apb1963 | yosefrow, I find it easier to remember | 18:55 |
| yosefrow | herestrings are great | 18:55 |
| neurre | kostkon, i "ejected" it in nautilos | 18:56 |
| apb1963 | plus it's shorter :) | 18:56 |
| kostkon | neurre, ok | 18:56 |
| yosefrow | i like my solution because it doesnt require installing anything :P | 18:56 |
| yosefrow | and im lazy | 18:56 |
| neurre | before that i think i also did sync, sync, and umount | 18:56 |
| === TJ_Remix is now known as TJ- | ||
| lotuspsychje | neurre: check with gparted, if it cant see/format its probably dead | 18:56 |
| apb1963 | yosefrow, well there is that. | 18:56 |
| yosefrow | apb1963, but yeah if you pastebin alot, your solution is shorter | 18:57 |
| neurre | no, gparted cannot see it | 18:57 |
| neurre | just like fdisk -l cannotr | 18:57 |
| lotuspsychje | neurre: sounds like bad news then | 18:57 |
| apb1963 | yosefrow, if you come here for help... then you probably use pastebin a lot. Personally, I don't like to use it, as I have no control over the data - i.e. it gets posted - when does it get deleted? I have no idea. And I don't like that. | 18:58 |
| yosefrow | @lotuspsychje, i once had a disk that didnt respond, was in a kind of frozen state, but i lazy umounted it or something and after it worked | 18:58 |
| yosefrow | try to umount it manually neurre | 18:58 |
| lotuspsychje | yosefrow: did you test gparted on it, at that time? | 18:58 |
| apb1963 | s/pastebin/pastebinit/ | 18:59 |
| yosefrow | @neure, `cat /etc/mtab | grep sdb` | 18:59 |
| apb1963 | grrr pastebinit | 18:59 |
| TJ- | Intersting data-point about 'failing' block devices. I have a Samsumg 32GB EVO SDcard, was in a raspi, used as a store for a networked CCTV camera that filled the device up and then was deleting oldest files. After a couple years it failed. Yesterday I tried to recover it. Connected via a USB<>SDcard adapter. During a dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX..." the device repeatedly disappeared completely off the USB | 18:59 |
| TJ- | bus. Put it in the MMC slot and it wrote the entire device with zeros without an error. Now 'badblocks' has done 3 write passes so far without any errors. | 19:00 |
| kostkon | neurre, hopefully it's not some high speed high capacity microsd that is (somewhat) expensive to replace | 19:00 |
| yosefrow | @apb1963, I'm paranoid like you, so I usually dont pastebin, but when im desperate, not much of a choice except to pastebin or spin up a thin http server or something xD | 19:01 |
| apb1963 | yosefrow, I use pastebin.com or some variation, that lets you select when it gets deleted. pastebinit doesn't give you that control. | 19:02 |
| apb1963 | so I copy & paste to pastebin.com | 19:03 |
| apb1963 | I might use pastebinit if my data is unclassified. | 19:03 |
| lotuspsychje | yosefrow: apb1963 hastebin stores 30 days from last view, then deletes or earlier | 19:04 |
| yosefrow | @apb1963, from termbin "Life span of single paste is one month. Older pastes are deleted." | 19:04 |
| apb1963 | lotuspsychje, is hastebin a typo? | 19:04 |
| lotuspsychje | apb1963: no, hastebin.com | 19:04 |
| apb1963 | ok... I don't know how to use that with pastebinit. | 19:04 |
| apb1963 | hmmm maybe pastebinit has a config file... I suppose I should look into that some day. | 19:05 |
| yosefrow | hastebin is interesting | 19:05 |
| yosefrow | currently still prefer nc pastebin.com 9999 because I can alias it and pipe info to it like i pipe to other commands | 19:06 |
| yosefrow | termbin.com i mean | 19:06 |
| yosefrow | sucks that you cant control delete date though | 19:06 |
| yosefrow | 30 days for everyone | 19:06 |
| apb1963 | Yeah, I usually put my stuff up for an hour or a day. | 19:07 |
| yosefrow | termbin.com uses fiche though https://github.com/solusipse/fiche | 19:07 |
| yosefrow | so technically you can setup your own service | 19:07 |
| lotuspsychje | anyway, back to ubuntu topic | 19:07 |
| apb1963 | Good idea! ubuntu 16.04... hostapd exits prematurely. | 19:08 |

| yosefrow | xD | 19:18 |
| nacc_ | Syscope: ... this channell is volunteers. | 19:18 |
| nacc_ | Syscope: there is no "customer service team" | 19:18 |
| Syscope | I'm thinking of switching from windows 10 to Ubuntu | 19:18 |
| yosefrow | <-- volunteer customer service rep | 19:18 |
| Syscope | should I do that? | 19:18 |
| nacc_ | Syscope: do what you want? | 19:18 |
| nacc_ | Syscope: this is a support channel, for technical issues on ubuntu | 19:18 |
| yosefrow | @Syscope, it depends entirely on what you want out of your computing experience | 19:18 |
| Syscope | i can't do what I want nacc_ I'm married | 19:18 |
| nacc_ | Syscope: please stay on topic | 19:19 |
| yosefrow | @Syscope, and see above | 19:19 |
| Syscope | I want stable os I want use office watch movies and browse Internet | 19:19 |
| nacc_ | yosefrow: fwiw, @ is not needed in IRC | 19:19 |
| nacc_ | Syscope: ok, so use whatever you want? | 19:19 |
| yosefrow | nacc_, habit sorry. its been years since I used IRC regularly | 19:19 |
| nacc_ | Syscope: If you want to use Ubuntu, use Ubuntu (I suggest trying it on a live USB first) | 19:19 |
| nacc_ | Syscope: so far, you've not actually asked a support question | 19:20 |
| yosefrow | and @nacc_ is more visible so thats why i tend to use it | 19:20 |
| Syscope | grrrrrrr nacc can't you get it ? told you already I'm married | 19:20 |
| nacc_ | Syscope: please stay ontopic (last warning) | 19:20 |

| Syscope | I would like to use sister of my wife she's sexy and all but I don't want to hurt my wife so just can't do it nacc | 19:20 |
| Syscope | so don't say do what you want | 19:21 |
| nacc_ | alright, ops time | 19:21 |
| yosefrow | @Syscope, use a LTS release if you want super stable. Ubuntu is great for simple stuff like movies, internet. But its much more powerful. I suggest if you have some time, install it yourself and then if you need help installing ask here for help | 19:21 |
| Syscope | life isn't easy as you may think it is | 19:21 |
| hggdh | Syscope: please stop. This is a support channel, not a chat channel | 19:21 |
| yosefrow | Syscope, though you should try a live cd / live cd first. But yeah this channel is for support. so if you want to chat here, you should try installing ubuntu and ask here for help if you need any | 19:21 |
| nacc_ | yosefrow: ok :) | 19:21 |
| yosefrow | Syscope, lots of ppl here happy to help if you need any help with using/installing ubuntu | 19:22 |
| nacc_ | apb1963: are you using NM? is this a desktop? | 19:23 |
| Syscope | ypsefrow I think I will just try it and see how it goes | 19:23 |
| nacc_ | apb1963: if so, you can't have a device be both configurd for NM and hostapd | 19:23 |
| zach-15803 | i need some help | 19:23 |
| Syscope | ypsefrow thanks | 19:23 |
| kondenzator | hello | 19:23 |
| yosefrow | @Syscope, of course man, try a live cd/usb first to get a feel for it, then if you need any help installing, using just ask us here | 19:23 |

| Syscope | nacc how old are you? | 19:23 |

| yosefrow | Syscope, there is a casual chat for ubuntu. but its not here, sorry man | 19:24 |
| Syscope | nacc OK OK OK | 19:24 |
| yosefrow | =This channel is for support only | 19:24 |
| kondenzator | oh sorry bye | 19:24 |
| zach-15803 | HELLO? | 19:24 |

| nacc_ | zach-15803: what are Digimend drivers? | 19:24 |
| yosefrow | @zach-15803, hey whats up | 19:24 |
| Syscope | nacc let's take our issues to casual Ubuntu chat ok? | 19:24 |
| zach-15803 | they are 3rd party drivers that let you use graphics tablets on linux | 19:25 |
| lotuspsychje | Syscope: #ubuntu-discuss if you like | 19:25 |
| zach-15803 | i need to get them installed | 19:25 |
| yosefrow | Syscope, or /join #ubuntu-offtopic | 19:25 |
| nacc_ | zach-15803: if they are 3rd party, as in not in Ubuntu, you need to ask the 3rd party driver provider | 19:25 |
| zach-15803 | its an issue with the MAKE command | 19:25 |
| zach-15803 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/26531544/ | 19:25 |
| nacc_ | zach-15803: ... that is just the command, no errors, etc. | 19:26 |
| zach-15803 | one sec, it messed up | 19:26 |
| nacc_ | zach-15803: you are using an unsupported kernel (definitely not ubuntu if you are on 3.8.11) | 19:26 |
| nacc_ | zach-15803: and are building a third party driver | 19:26 |
| nacc_ | zach-15803: none of that is ubuntu support | 19:26 |
| hggdh | zach-15803: you could try ##linux | 19:27 |
| zach-15803 | https://paste.ubuntu.com/26531575/ | 19:27 |
| nacc_ | zach-15803: seems like totally defunct software | 19:27 |
| nacc_ | zach-15803: and also, please read what I just wrote | 19:28 |
| zach-15803 | great... | 19:28 |
| nacc_ | zach-15803: may not defunct, but you are running a completely unsupported kernel (afaict) | 19:29 |
| zach-15803 | im using crouton specifically | 19:29 |
| zach-15803 | on a chrome book | 19:29 |
| nacc_ | zach-15803: so .. not ubuntu | 19:30 |
| nacc_ | zach-15803: please find an appropriate channel to use for support | 19:31 |
| nacc_ | !alis | zach-15803 | 19:31 |
| ubottu | zach-15803: Alis is an IRC service to help you find channels. For help on using it, see "/msg Alis help list" or ask in #freenode. Example usage: "/msg Alis list http" | 19:31 |
| zach-15803 | its running ubuntu in a CHROOT | 19:31 |
| nacc_ | if you are running in a chroot, you wouldn't buildl kernel modules, sincne the chroot is using the hosts's kernel. | 19:31 |
| nacc_ | zach-15803: i'm sorry, i think you are either confused as to what you want to do, or in the wrong channel. | 19:32 |
| zach-15803 | so..id haave to use the chromeOS shell to do this? | 19:32 |
| nacc_ | zach-15803: i have no idea | 19:32 |
| yosefrow | @zach-15803, if you are running a unix like os with ubuntu running in a chroot, you are probably gonna be limited by your underlying kernel | 19:32 |
| yosefrow | whatever that kernel is | 19:32 |
| yosefrow | so if its a kernel, driver related issue this isnt the place to turn for support | 19:33 |
| yosefrow | you can still come here for other issues unrelated to the kernel, drivers | 19:33 |
| zach-15803 | ChromeOS used a LINUX kernel and really only has a Window Manager, Desktop Interface, and Chrome Webbrowser | 19:34 |
| yosefrow | zach-15803, even still, it is a kernel (os component) which is not packaged with ubuntu neccessarily | 19:34 |
| zach-15803 | alright | 19:34 |
| yosefrow | and this is an ubuntu only support channel | 19:34 |
| yosefrow | good luck man | 19:34 |
| amd64 | yosefrow is right | 19:34 |
| yosefrow | if you have any ubuntu (non kernel/driver) related issues we will be happy to help | 19:35 |
| amd64 | zach-15803 #chromium-os is your best bet | 19:35 |

| kostkon | Olanzapin, oh you were looking for your torrents' properties ok | 19:56 |
| Olanzapin | in gnome the seetings are avalible as a drop down list not in unity | 19:57 |
| Olanzapin | do you think its safe to use sudo? | 19:57 |
| ioria | Olanzapin, for torrents ??? | 19:58 |
| fub | thanks | 19:58 |
| Pinkamena_D | New behavior is driving me crazy in 17.10 - I have an IDE in one monitor and a browser in the other, but I have other windows of the IDE and other windows of the browser also running. I used to be able to switch with alt+tab between the last two active windows, that being the topmost browser window and the topmost IDE window, but now if I alt tab to ANY browser window, ALL browser windows become 'on top' and same with the IDE. If I want to switch | 19:58 |
| Pinkamena_D | between them while still seeing both, I have to use the mouse, which is of course super annoying. | 19:58 |
| kostkon | Olanzapin, run transmission with sudo? | 19:58 |
| Olanzapin | well what i want is to enable encryption and stuff | 19:59 |
| Pinkamena_D | Is there any way to get the old behavior back?\ | 19:59 |
| kostkon | Olanzapin, you don't need to run it with sudo to be able to do those things if by encryption you mean to encrypt your torrent traffic etc. there are some appropriate settings you can enable for that in transmission | 20:00 |
| kostkon | Olanzapin, or if you want to use something more advanced, there are other options like deluge, qbittorrent etc. | 20:01 |
| Olanzapin | what you are talking about is not avalible for me. I tryed to use sudo transmission to get what i want. Do i mess things up | 20:01 |
| kostkon | Olanzapin, most likely, just avoid doing that | 20:01 |
| Olanzapin | ok | 20:01 |
| Olanzapin | thx anyway | 20:02 |
| cek | I'd like to start an X11 program from within clean environment assuming I'm running under same user as X session. How? | 20:13 |
| cek | I've got shell for that user, that is. | 20:14 |
| cek | other than extracting secrets from RAM, which isn't possible by default I guess | 20:14 |
| akik | cek: here's an example: env DISPLAY=:0.0 XAUTHORITY=/home/username/.Xauthority xterm -e su - username | 20:14 |
| akik | cek: oh sorry, same username | 20:15 |
| cek | damn it, was using :0 instead of :0.0 . problem solved. tnx | 20:15 |
| Rahoul | Hi - I am trying to redirect port 2222 on the router to 22 (ssh) so that I can access ssh (dropbear server) from the wan using port 2222. I tried iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 2222 -j REDIRECT --to-port 22 but it does nothing. | 20:15 |
| === gr33n7007h is now known as al2o3-cr | ||
| === stwalkerster is now known as ASDS-OCISLY | ||
| TJ- | Rahoul: is dropbear listening on port 22 of the WAN interface? is there another rule blocking port 22 on that interface? | 20:18 |
| Rahoul | yes it is | 20:19 |
| Rahoul | i also have openssh-server and it listens on 11980 | 20:20 |
| Rahoul | and when i redirect to it it does not work either | 20:20 |
| TJ- | Rahoul: is there a DROP policy on filter table INPUT chain or a DROP for those ports? | 20:25 |
| Rahoul | Input policy is DROP by default | 20:26 |
| TJ- | Rahoul: you might need to use -j DNAT --to 127.0.0.1:22 instead of REDIRECT | 20:26 |
| Rahoul | and there is no INPUT for accepting those ports | 20:26 |
| ATLowther | Where can I write an alias for a command. I'd like to be able to write 'serveThis on PORT' and run something like 'python -m SimpleHTTPServer PORT' | 20:26 |
| === doc|work_ is now known as doc|home | ||
| TJ- | Rahoul: there needs to be an INPUT ALLOW for port 2222 - is there one? | 20:27 |
| akik | ATLowther: ~/.bash_aliases | 20:28 |
| wewlad | hello | 20:28 |
| wewlad | trying to connect to xubuntu desktop over ssh with x11 fwding, but it fails: 'Warning: untrusted X11 forwarding setup failed: xauth key data not generated' | 20:28 |
| ATLowther | akik: I don't have that one. I have .bashrc? | 20:28 |
| akik | ATLowther: there should be a reference to .bash_aliases in your .bashrc | 20:29 |
| Rahoul | no there is not let me try input 2222 | 20:29 |
| ruoh37 | bonjour | 20:29 |
| ATLowther | akik: Yes, I see this 'if [ -f ~/.bash_aliases ]; then . ~/.bash_aliases fi', but I don't know what it means. | 20:30 |
| akik | ATLowther: it means if your bash finds the file ~/.bash_aliases, read it into your shell settings | 20:30 |
| ruoh37 | do you know how tu have good fps on the ubuntu's games ? | 20:30 |
| wewlad | help, please | 20:31 |
| Rahoul | @TJ- added these two lines | 20:31 |
| Rahoul | iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 2222 -j REDIRECT --to-port 22 | 20:31 |
| Rahoul | iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 2222 -j ACCEPT | 20:31 |
| Rahoul | still no go | 20:31 |
| ioria | wewlad, using -x or -Y ? | 20:31 |
| ATLowther | akik: okay, so are you recommending I create a .bash_aliases file? Or write what I want directly in .bashrc? | 20:31 |
| MonkeyDust | ATLowther IT MEANS, IF THE FILE ~/.bash_aliases exists, then execute it | 20:31 |
| MonkeyDust | caps* | 20:31 |
| TJ- | Rahoul: you can add a TRACE to the raw table to get log info as the packets pass through the filters | 20:31 |
| akik | ATLowther: yes, create the file and add your aliases there, e.g. alias test="ls" | 20:32 |
| Rahoul | not using raw table at all | 20:32 |
| TJ- | Rahoul: see for TRACE https://serverfault.com/questions/385937/how-to-enable-iptables-trace-target-on-debian-squeeze-6 | 20:32 |
| Rahoul | however i could add a loging rule right below preroute | 20:32 |
| wewlad | ioria: actually, using config with `ForwardAgent yes` `ForwardX11 yes` `Compression yes` `CompressionLevel 9` | 20:32 |
| Rahoul | to see it if even hits the fw | 20:32 |
| ATLowther | akik: Okay, thanks. I assume needing to parse the input to read the port is a bit more complex? Or is it straightforward in bash? | 20:32 |
| ioria | wewlad, ssh -Y user@ip | 20:33 |
| akik | ATLowther: for a simple alias, $1 is the first argument | 20:33 |
| ATLowther | okay, $3 is the third? | 20:33 |
| akik | ATLowther: you got it. | 20:33 |
| wewlad | ioria: weird, but this way it works (it worked fine before with the configs I named) | 20:34 |
| wewlad | ioria: but I still can't forward any windows | 20:34 |
| ATLowther | akik: Thank you :). Do I need to wrap it in brackets or leave it outside of the quotes? | 20:34 |
| akik | ATLowther: wrap what? | 20:34 |
| ioria | wewlad, afaik ssh is already set for X forwarding , you don't need to edit the config file | 20:35 |
| akik | ATLowther: you can have for loops and everything in the alias, separate commands with a ; | 20:35 |
| ATLowther | akik: ex.. alias serveThis = "python -m SimpleHTTPServer $3"......& I would activate this command by saying 'serveThis on 8080' | 20:35 |
| wewlad | ioria: `ssh -Y alias` then `keepassx &` and I get `X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.` and `keepassx: cannot connect to X server localhost:10.0` | 20:36 |
| akik | ATLowther: test it with simple use case first, then expand on that | 20:36 |
| ioria | wewlad, sy, idk keepassx and what it does | 20:36 |
| ATLowther | akik: Okay, thank you. | 20:37 |
| wewlad | ioria: a password keeper. | 20:37 |
| ioria | wewlad, i see | 20:37 |
| wewlad | ioria: same with firefox (that's a web browser) | 20:37 |
| wewlad | `X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.` `Unable to init server: Broadway display type not supported: localhost:10.0` `Error: cannot open display: localhost:10.0` | 20:37 |
| ioria | wewlad, try to set display | 20:38 |
| ATLowther | akik: It's not working at all. Do I need to logout for it to register? | 20:38 |
| ATLowther | akik: Since i just created the new file. | 20:38 |
| wewlad | ioria: to what? | 20:38 |
| ioria | wewlad, to the right one | 20:38 |
| wewlad | currently it's localhost:10.0 | 20:38 |
| wewlad | uh, how to figure out the right one? | 20:39 |
| akik | ATLowther: it seems my given syntax is not correct about the $0 | 20:39 |
| akik | ATLowther: start a new bash | 20:39 |
| staxAZillion | can anyone help me understand a file's premission setting? -rwxrwS--- | 20:39 |
| ioria | wewlad, echo $DISPLAY | 20:39 |
| staxAZillion | the listings show up as yellow in terminal | 20:39 |
| wewlad | ioria: currently it's localhost:10.0 | 20:39 |
| ioria | wewlad, so export it | 20:40 |
| wewlad | where to? env lists DISPLAY=localhost:10.0 | 20:40 |
| Vysty | Anyone moderately skilled at kdenlive? | 20:40 |
| ATLowther | akik: Ah, it was that & I also had a space between the equal sign on both sides | 20:40 |
| wewlad | exporting is setting envvar, no? | 20:40 |
| Vysty | The Kdenlive channel has nothing but crickets right now. | 20:40 |
| ioria | wewlad, export DISPLAY=ip:10.0 | 20:40 |
| ioria | wewlad, on the target | 20:41 |
| ATLowther | akik: I am looking up the remedy now about how to read inputs. Or did you know how, since it's not $x | 20:41 |
| wewlad | ioria: I'm connecting from hostA to hostB, I should set display to IP_hostA:10.0? | 20:42 |
| ioria | wewlad, B | 20:42 |
| akik | ATLowther: you can use "read" it reads from terminal input | 20:42 |
| ioria | wewlad, sy, A | 20:42 |
| MonkeyDust | staxAZillion 'S' = The directory's setgid bit is set, but the execute bit isn't set. | 20:42 |
| wildiness | hello, need to set up a file system with tmpfs. where can i find the official documentation? i can only find very old documentation | 20:42 |
| wewlad | ioria: why do I have to manually set this? how did it work for me before? I never bothered with that envvar | 20:43 |
| ATLowther | akik: Okay, I was just looking for a single linger. serveThis on 8080 and then 8080 would be the variable I would set. | 20:43 |
| ioria | wewlad, so it worked before ? what changed ? | 20:43 |
| wewlad | ioria: time passed, both systems received updates (hostA is freebsd, hostB is Xubuntu), config remained the same | 20:44 |
| ioria | wewlad, no idead about bsd | 20:44 |
| ioria | *idea | 20:44 |
| nacc_ | wildiness: just mount it? `man mount`, search for tmpfs | 20:45 |
| nacc_ | wildiness: what are you actually trying to do? you understand tmpfs is an in-memory only filesystem? | 20:45 |
| akik | ATLowther: i need to go back to school. can't figure out why $1 $2 $3 don't work with aliases | 20:45 |
| ATLowther | akik: Hahahah, yeah I am trying to figure it out. I am seeing what you were talking about with the $x. I want it to read serveThis as the command and then look for the variable entered which is the port. | 20:46 |
| nacc_ | akik: ATLowther you can't use arguments in aliases | 20:46 |
| nacc_ | it's in the manpage | 20:46 |
| nacc_ | "There is no mechanism for using arguments in the replacement text." | 20:46 |
| nacc_ | you want a function if you need arguments | 20:47 |
| akik | nacc_: ok that's why it didn't work :) | 20:47 |
| ATLowther | nacc_: okay :(. Is there an easy way to go about what I am looking to do? | 20:47 |
| nacc_ | ATLowther: write a function? I don't know what you're trying to do, just was responndign to the above :) | 20:47 |
| wildiness | nacc_: yes absolutely. it's really for a raspberry pi to save the SD-card. Every source is saying different things so i wanted the official documentation. | 20:47 |
| ioria | bak() { cp "$1" "$1.bak"; } | 20:47 |
| ATLowther | nacc_: 'serveThis on PORT' translating to 'python -m SimpleHTTPServer PORT' | 20:48 |
| nacc_ | ATLowther: why "on"? | 20:48 |
| nacc_ | ATLowther: why ot just `serveThis PORT` | 20:48 |
| ATLowther | nacc_: it's not necessary. Just more intuitive | 20:48 |
| nacc_ | ATLowther: whiich point why not just `alias serveThis "python -m SimpleHTTPServer" ? | 20:49 |
| ATLowther | nacc_: I was just trying to be fancy | 20:49 |
| nacc_ | or something | 20:49 |
| nacc_ | ATLowther: yeah, but totally ont shell-like | 20:49 |
| nacc_ | *not | 20:49 |
| nacc_ | wildiness: 'save the SD-card'? | 20:49 |
| nacc_ | wildiness: you mean, you don't want to use it? | 20:49 |
| badboyjer | airmon-ng start wlan0 for example | 20:49 |
| ATLowther | nacc_: I'm working on being more familiar w the shell. & yeah, I want to be able to change the port though instead of always serving to the same port. | 20:49 |
| nacc_ | ATLowther: right | 20:50 |
| nacc_ | ATLowther: read what i wrote again | 20:50 |
| badboyjer | whoops wrong channel | 20:50 |
| nacc_ | ATLowther: note, though, aliases only work when they are the first word of a simple command | 20:50 |
| nacc_ | ATLowther: a function is generally better | 20:51 |
| ATLowther | nacc_: Oh, I didn't know I could do it like that. Thank you. | 20:51 |
| nacc_ | ATLowther: but you *can* do what you want with an alias (which is just string substitution) | 20:51 |
| ATLowther | nacc_: An alias is just s simple text replacement it seems | 20:51 |
| ATLowther | nacc_: Gotcha. Thanks. I've never written a bash function. I'll look into that. Thank you | 20:51 |
| wildiness | nacc_: yes. It would die in no time flat if i were to write to it once per minute 24/7. so i'm going to save a temporary file and only write that to the sd-card once every 24 hrs. | 20:52 |
| akik | ATLowther: here's an example function which prints the 3rd argument: test() { echo "$3"; } | 20:52 |
| akik | ATLowther: then you call it with: test 1 2 3 | 20:52 |
| ATLowther | akik: Thanks so much | 20:56 |
| ATLowther | akik: That gives me the solution for my intial way | 20:56 |
| ATLowther | akik: serve() { eval "python -m SimpleHTTPServer" $2; } | 20:56 |
| ATLowther | akik: Although the other way is more simple, but now I know for the future, thanks! | 20:56 |
| akik | ATLowther: and i know that arguments don't work with aliases like i expected :) | 20:57 |
| ATLowther | akik: :) | 20:57 |
| yuken | God damn. I can't figure out what drivers to install for this GPU still | 20:59 |
| yuken | it refuses to the use AMD GPU, just uses built-in iGPU | 20:59 |
| mortici | yuken: did you try downloading from from AMD, and disabling the onboard gpu in BIOS? | 21:02 |
| yuken | Can't disable on-board, it's a mobile switchable-graphics machine | 21:03 |
| mortici | yuken: Oh... hm its been a while since I have dealt with a mobile graphics chip. | 21:04 |
| yuken | It's quite an old one too, HD 6770M on a Sandy Bridge machine | 21:04 |
| mortici | yuken: I might be of no help besides looking up AMD site for the driver/rpm/deb file maybe. | 21:04 |
| yuken | I don't even care about switchable graphics, just getting the HD 6770M to run 24/7 would be good | 21:05 |
| Guest99160 | Hi there! Do you know if there will be a backport of Plasma 5.12 for Ubuntu 16.04? | 21:05 |

| tnguyzxcv | oh whoops, didn't see the pastebin, i'll post future errors there | 21:10 |
| tnguyzxcv | taizweb: here's what happens when i do sudo apt update | 21:10 |
| tnguyzxcv | taizweb: https://paste.ubuntu.com/26532077/ | 21:11 |
| tnguyzxcv | then when i run that apt-get again it throws the same error | 21:11 |

| tnguyzxcv | akik: ic is there a temp fix i can run first before upgrading my OS | 21:13 |
| taizweb | can you install it without apt? | 21:13 |
| akik | tnguyzxcv: not sure but changing the repos to new server address should help | 21:14 |
| akik | tnguyzxcv: read the url ubottu posted | 21:14 |
| tnguyzxcv | ic | 21:15 |
| tnguyzxcv | akik: do you know where i can find the libssl-dev source to install thru make? | 21:18 |
| nacc_ | tnguyzxcv: it seems highly unrecommended to use a libssl from an eol release | 21:19 |
| nacc_ | no security fixes, etc. | 21:19 |
| tnguyzxcv | i just need to get pip installed so i can do some python dev | 21:19 |

| tnguyzxcv | akik: let me do that, what file do i modify? | 21:21 |
| akik | tnguyzxcv: /etc/apt/sources.list | 21:21 |
| tnguyzxcv | thanks | 21:21 |
| tnguyzxcv | akik: so here's my file: https://paste.ubuntu.com/26532142/ i should remove the zesty and update it to w/e the latest ubuntu is then? | 21:23 |
| akik | tnguyzxcv: that's your /etc/apt/sources.list.d looks like it | 21:23 |
| tnguyzxcv | oh whoops ur right | 21:24 |
| akik | tnguyzxcv: just follow the second url in ubottu's message | 21:24 |
| tnguyzxcv | akik: https://paste.ubuntu.com/26532157/ ah okay | 21:27 |
| zo9 | how can i make a search in terminal in a dir for all .jpg file | 21:28 |
| Fuchs | find . -iname *.jpg | 21:29 |
| Fuchs | might need a \* depending on your shell | 21:29 |
| Fuchs | oh, and that will be recursive, if you just want the current directory, a simple ls (-l) *.jpg will do | 21:29 |
| zo9 | how can i make a search in terminal in a dir for all .jpg file | 21:29 |
| zo9 | 21:29 | |
| Fuchs | zo9: like I just told you | 21:30 |
| Ben64 | are you serious? he just told you | 21:30 |
| zo9 | i lost my connection | 21:30 |
| zo9 | didnt saw | 21:30 |
| Fuchs | Ben64: did you just assume my gender? | 21:30 |
| zo9 | write again | 21:30 |
| Fuchs | find . -iname *.jpg | 21:30 |
| Fuchs | might need a \* depending on your shell | 21:30 |
| Ben64 | everyone on the internet is a he by default | 21:30 |
| Fuchs | oh, and that will be recursive, if you just want the current directory, a simple ls (-l) *.jpg will do | 21:30 |
| zo9 | Fuchs, what do you mean by iname | 21:31 |
| zo9 | actually i forget the file name | 21:31 |
| Fuchs | that's the actual command | 21:31 |
| zo9 | and the dir i have have many dir inside it | 21:31 |
| Fuchs | you can copy it literally and it will give you every file ending in .jpg (or .JPG or .JpG etc) from the current directory downwards | 21:31 |
| zo9 | so the search for all dirs in the dir im in | 21:31 |
| Fuchs | . is the current directory you are in | 21:31 |
| Fuchs | if you want a specific one, you can find /path/to/that/directory -iname *.jpg | 21:32 |
| Fuchs | again, this will be recursive, thus also giving you every jpg in subdirectories below that directory. If you don't want that, go with the ls option instead | 21:32 |
| geirha | do quote the * there | 21:32 |
| zo9 | i have like 20 dir in 1 dir and i want to search in all dir | 21:32 |
| zo9 | in 1 command | 21:32 |
| tnguyzxcv | yayayayay akik it works now | 21:32 |
| zach-15803 | hwo do i run a driver without installing it? | 21:33 |
| Ben64 | zach-15803: not sure what you mean | 21:33 |
| Fuchs | zo9: then use the command I gave you | 21:33 |
| Fuchs | geirha: [22:30:32] <Fuchs> might need a \* depending on your shell | 21:33 |
| Fuchs | if only someone wrote that already | 21:33 |
| zach-15803 | So, i am having troubles installing a driver, so i figured "Why not execute it instead?" | 21:33 |
| zach-15803 | so i would run it, but when i log out, it would stop running | 21:34 |
| Ben64 | thats not how it works | 21:34 |
| zach-15803 | dang | 21:34 |
| Ben64 | might be helpful for you to explain what's going on | 21:34 |
| ikonia | rather than just trying random things, just state the problem | 21:34 |
| ikonia | just doing "stuff" is the worst possible approach | 21:34 |
| zo9 | Fuchs, not working | 21:36 |
| Fuchs | can you be a tad bit more specific, please | 21:36 |
| geirha | Fuchs: just pointing out that "might" should be "definitely" | 21:36 |
| Fuchs | since it is supposed to work | 21:36 |
| Fuchs | geirha: still depends on your shell | 21:36 |
| Fuchs | bash doesn't need it and is a sane default, zsh needs it and is an insane default | 21:36 |
| geirha | bash definitely needs it | 21:37 |
| Sterist | okay, today I'm going to be attempting to clone my ps3 hard drive using this guide... http://www.deonsworld.co.za/2013/01/08/solving-ps3s-restoring-file-system-loop-linux/ | 21:37 |
| zo9 | Fuchs, im in a dir , the dir im in have like +20 dirs on it and i lost a jpg in one of these dirs , and i want to make a search to find this dir in 1 command | 21:37 |
| Fuchs | geirha: mine most certainly doesn't | 21:37 |
| zo9 | like i type find and it give me all jpg files i have with the locatins | 21:37 |
| zo9 | locations* | 21:37 |
| Fuchs | zo9: yes, now if you cd to the directory with these +20 dirs in it | 21:37 |
| zo9 | im not going to enter the 20 dir , i want to make a search | 21:37 |
| Fuchs | and you type exactly find . -iname \*.jpg it will give you every file, with full path, in these +20 directories that does end with ,jpg | 21:38 |
| Fuchs | yes | 21:38 |
| Fuchs | that is what my command does | 21:38 |
| Sterist | with one difference, I want to write the image file to a different device instead of my laptop's internal because I don't want to subject the SSD to a 465gb write. | 21:38 |
| Fuchs | if you don't like it you can run updatedb, wait for a long time, then use locate. But find is the better solution | 21:38 |
| geirha | only works if you happen to have no matching files in the current directory, since then *.jpg remains unchanged, as if it was quoted | 21:38 |
| Sterist | can someone please provide an example output path to write the output image file to the root of a separate physical (blank) device | 21:39 |
| zo9 | Fuchs, its not working | 21:39 |
| zo9 | i get no result | 21:39 |
| Fuchs | zo9: then either you are doing it wrong or there is no file ending in .jpg in any subdirectory there | 21:39 |
| Fuchs | could it maybe be .jpeg or in a different directory? | 21:39 |
| akik | Sterist: the /home/firefly/ps3.hdd in the first command and /dev/sdi in the second command is the target for the operation | 21:39 |
| zo9 | i copy it | 21:39 |
| zo9 | its jpg im sure | 21:40 |
| zo9 | and it the dir im in it | 21:41 |
| Sterist | I heard before that it's not correct to use /dev/sd# in write commands though, is that true? | 21:41 |
| akik | Sterist: no | 21:41 |
| akik | Sterist: it just means it'll write to the whole device erasing what's in there | 21:41 |
| Fuchs | zo9: well, it does not only have to be a jpeg, but actually have a name ending in .jpg | 21:41 |
| Fuchs | then the command most definitely will work | 21:41 |
| Sterist | I think the concern was hitting for example sda when intending to type sdc lol that would be a disaster. | 21:42 |
| akik | Sterist: yes. you make the mistake once | 21:42 |
| zo9 | Fuchs, can you pm me | 21:45 |
| zo9 | ? | 21:45 |
| Fuchs | not interested, no. If you need support, we shall do it in the support channel | 21:45 |
| akik | zo9: if you get an error, put the whole command and output into paste.ubuntu.com | 21:47 |
| akik | zo9: then paste the resulting url here | 21:47 |
| Sterist | akik, any idea what purpose the 1 in the first ddrescue command serves? I don't see any descriptions of numbers in help | 21:48 |
| Sterist | oh wait I think I see now | 21:48 |
| Sterist | seems it's just telling it to only make one pass through the imaging and not retry | 21:49 |
| akik | Sterist: it sets the retries to 1 | 21:53 |
| akik | yes | 21:54 |
| zach-15803 | alright, so persay i only have the driver.c file, hwo would i install it? | 21:54 |

| amd64 | nacc what do you mean? | 22:02 |

| nacc | amd64: afaik, zach-15803 is on a chromebook not running ubuntu trying to builld some third party driver | 22:02 |
| akik | Sterist: e.g. mkdir /mnt/sdb1; mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1 | 22:02 |
| nacc | zach-15803: if that is still the case, then this is the wrong chanell | 22:03 |
| akik | Sterist: then you can use /mnt/sdb1 in your paths for file storage | 22:03 |
| zach-15803 | i use "/join #linux" | 22:03 |

| akik | ericus: "sudo vgdisplay -v" shows it | 22:48 |
| akik | ericus: if there's unallocated space in the vg, you could use lvresize to enlarge the root fs lv | 22:50 |

| zackitaxi | Hi. I've been trying to install Ubuntu on a Windows 8 netbook with UEFI for a few hours now. | 22:56 |
| zackitaxi | I am not a technical person | 22:56 |
| zackitaxi | Would anyone be willing to help me with this? | 22:56 |
| zackitaxi | I've read a few different things online and cannot make heads or tails of what I need to do. I've installed Ubuntu live on a USB but my computer ignores it because of "EFI" | 22:58 |
| ericus | archives is empty now akik | 22:58 |
| akik | ericus: did it help? "df" | 22:58 |
| ericus | df -H still show 100% | 22:58 |
| akik | ericus: if you don't want to touch your lvm, then dig in to your /var with the du command | 23:00 |
| ericus | dpkg --configure -a is now working | 23:00 |
| zackitaxi | Is there a simple tool that can make Ubuntu installable on EFI (similar to Unetbootin), or does it pretty much require crazy technical skills? | 23:02 |
| akik | zackitaxi: how did you write your usb stick? | 23:03 |
| zackitaxi | akik: Using Unetbootin | 23:03 |
| akik | zackitaxi: ubuntu iso can boot on a uefi system | 23:03 |
| ericus | akik thank you very much, I'll buy you a beer if we ever cross roads | 23:03 |
| akik | zackitaxi: install rufus on windows, then start it, press alt-i once (it will say disabling iso support), then write the usb stick with the iso | 23:04 |
| akik | i have mostly heard incompatible stories with unetbootin | 23:04 |
| zackitaxi | akik: Thanks! I will do that right now! | 23:04 |
| yuken | zackitaxi, huh? Just use Rufus or DD. | 23:04 |
| yuken | YOu don't need to do anything... special. | 23:04 |
| ericus | 5.7G 4.2G 1.2G 79% / | 23:05 |
| akik | ericus: yay! | 23:05 |
| akik | ericus: what was it? | 23:05 |
| akik | there was some edge case with machines that only support 32-bit uefi | 23:08 |
| akik | but then you could install a 32-bit ubuntu | 23:08 |
| akik | ? | 23:08 |
| ericus | akik the apt-cache removed fixed the dpkg-issues, and from there apt-get autoremove | 23:09 |
| zackitaxi | akik: Okay, the green bar finished, but it doesn't say, like "Good to go!" or anything | 23:15 |
| zackitaxi | akik: Is there anything else I need to do or should I restart? | 23:15 |
| yuken | so from what I see, it appears to be impossible to use the dGPU in my laptop. o-o | 23:16 |
| zackitaxi | This is using Rufus by the way | 23:16 |
| yuken | zackitaxi, look at the bottom left | 23:16 |
| yuken | it will tell you what it's doing | 23:16 |
| zackitaxi | It says 1 Device Found. Imma restart brb | 23:17 |
| ball_of_lint | zackitaxi: do you have secure boot on? That can cause lots of problems and is generally no fun at all | 23:21 |
| zackitaxi | Well that did not work | 23:21 |
| zackitaxi | ball_of_lint: I don't know. When I restarted and told it to boot from my USB, it just took me back to EFI screen over and over | 23:21 |
| zackitaxi | I'll go back in and disable secure boot | 23:21 |
| akik | zackitaxi: do you have a machine with a 32-bit uefi? | 23:21 |
| zackitaxi | akik: I don't know | 23:22 |
| zackitaxi | How do I find that out? | 23:22 |
| akik | zackitaxi: try making a web search for it "ubuntu manufacturer model 32-bit efi" | 23:22 |
| Fire-Dragon-DoL | anyone with a recommendation for a high quality usb webcam that works out of the box with ubuntu? Something along the $100 budget. I was thinking of one of those logitech hd webcams, but those are not officially supported on linux | 23:24 |
| zackitaxi | akik: I found an article on askubuntu that says to paste a file into the /efi/boot folder, but the problem is that rufus formats the usb drive to have a tiny partition, so the file won't fit. And if I do the Windows formatty thing it will make everything rufus installs go away | 23:26 |
| zackitaxi | Like, the windows make-usb-partitions go away thing | 23:26 |
| zackitaxi | It just deletes all the stuff | 23:26 |
| zackitaxi | Maybe from Rufus I can tell it not to make my usb tiny, I'll try that | 23:26 |
| mar__ | Fire-Dragon-DoL: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam#Choosing_a_Webcam see linux-uvc link | 23:27 |
| Fire-Dragon-DoL | thanks mar__, checking | 23:27 |
| Fire-Dragon-DoL | kind of hard to understand the quality of the webcam from there, lol | 23:28 |
| mar__ | it's meant to be skimmed, it does not list the webcam quality but compatibility with linux | 23:30 |
| TJ- | Fire-Dragon-DoL: as long as it supports USB Video Class (UVC) you can choose based on other criteria confident it'll work | 23:30 |
| TJ- | Fire-Dragon-DoL: UVC == it uses standard kernel drivers, nothing needed from camera manufacturer | 23:31 |
| kostkon | Fire-Dragon-DoL, start from logitech's | 23:34 |
