[00:03] <mefistofeles> hello
[00:03] <mefistofeles> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MakeALiveCD/DVD/BootableFlashFromHarddiskInstall is this still the proper doc to make a live cd from my current installed system?
[00:20] <saigel__> Got a weird problem here. Ubuntu 16.04, Mate Desktop. When I start VLC, I get a window frame only. No contents. Please suggest what I should check to solve this problem. See: http://www.saigelosli.com/window-problem.png
[00:21] <nacc> quotation: how did you remove pythonn2.7 in the first pllace and why?
[00:22] <nacc> quotation: you basically wrecked your system by doing that
[00:29] <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.
[00:30] <Baltazar> (butt, the audio software, not the human posterior)
[00:31] <ChileStuff> Greetings denizens
[00:34] <ChileStuff> Anyone have any knowledge of virtual box?
[00:35] <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
[00:36] <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?
[00:37] <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
[00:38] <saigel__> Suggest the #vbox channel on irc.freenode.com
[00:39] <ChileStuff> you there to confab?
[00:39] <saigel__> I can go over there.
[00:39] <ChileStuff> thanks
[00:42] <ChileStuff> saigel__ Did I go to the wrong place ?
[00:42] <ChileStuff> I just joined on this network
[00:43] <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*.
[00:44] <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...
[00:45] <mefistofeles> nacc_: getting a different software is commonly not an option
[00:47] <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
[00:48] <alan2> Is it not possible to install two gcc's side by side?
[00:50] <nacc_> alan2: well, two *supported* gcc, sure
[00:51] <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
[00:52] <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
[00:54] <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?
[00:56] <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.
[00:57] <nacc_> alan2: you are way better off and either use a VM or LXD
[00:57] <sima> and 'sudo zpool scrub -s rpool' to stop scrub isn't responding...
[00:58] <sima> Ubuntu 17.10 64bit installed on Btrfs and then added ZFS kernel modules from Ubuntu repos. ZFS pool previously created on one disk partition, with illumos.

[01:04] <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] <TheFocus> An upgrade from 'yakkety' to 'artful' is not supported with this
[01:05] <TheFocus> tool.
[01:06] <nacc_> !eolupgrade | TheFocus
[01:06] <nacc_> TheFocus: 16.10 has been eol for a while ...
[01:07] <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.
[01:08] <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...
[01:09] <nacc_> TheFocus: and note you have to do two EOL upgrades
[01:09] <nacc_> 16.10 -> 17.04 -> 17.10
[01:09] <nacc_> hence why it'd be better to reinstall (IMO) :)
[01:09] <TheFocus> Yup - Will take some time but don't want to reinstall!!!  Cheers!!!
[01:20] <sima> not having same slow scrubbing problem on illumos, only on Ubuntu's ZFS.
[01:20] <sima> (force rebooted and it scrubs 25MB/s on illumos just fine)
[01:22] <yourname4> hi
[01:24] <TheFocus> No 100% sure what to do...  Do I comment all my existing sources.list and add the following entries: deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ CODENAME main restricted universe multiverse
[01:25] <TheFocus> What is the CODENAME for 17.04??
[01:25] <TheFocus> This is my sources.list - uncommented entries: https://pastebin.com/DVVmPWrT
[01:42] <TJ-> TheFocus: you want to do-release-upgrade to 17.10 Artful?
[01:42] <sima> TheFocus, codenames are and were undisired things..  ask: lsb_release -a  or cat /etc/*release , etc
[01:43] <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"
[01:44] <TJ-> TheFocus: if you use that ^^^^ then you can delete those extra CODENAME lines: "sudo sed -i '/CODENAME/ d' /etc/apt/sources.list"
[01:46] <jamesrudy> whats up
[01:46] <jamesrudy> anyone out there
[01:49] <TheFocus> Cheers.  I renamed the source.list accordingly with the codename zesty then i''ll update to artful later.  Will the sources list be regenerated to the latest listings after the update?
[01:49] <TJ-> TheFocus: after a release-upgrade? Yes, that's almost the first thing a release-upgrade does (after ensuring the current packages are up-to-date)
[01:53] <newdimension> I'm trying to setup email notifications for unattended-upgrade. I want to use my mailgun account to actually send the email. What is the recommended package to run this through? I've come across sendmail and heirloom-mailx
[01:55] <jamesrudy> whats up
[01:55] <jamesrudy> anybody here
[01:55] <jamesrudy> does anybody talk anymore
[01:56] <jamesrudy> no one chats anymore
[01:56] <jamesrudy> posting is so stale
[01:58] <kenrin> Well this is a support channel,  we chatting in the offtopic one
[02:00] <jamesrudy> exit
[02:10] <tigre> hola?
[02:14] <drgitlab_> Errors from running an instance of `rsync` across two computers: rsync: set_acl: sys_acl_set_file(boot/efi, ACL_TYPE_ACCESS): Operation is not supported (95)
[02:15] <drgitlab_> Same with proc and sys
[03:00] <donavan> i have a question for you guys. my screen keeps going black and i wana know if the error would go to a log somewhere. if it does where would i find said file
[03:01] <TJ-> donavan: likely /var/log/kern.log or /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[03:03] <donavan> tj no such directory for both of the commands
[03:04] <TheFocus> Managed to update from 16.10 to 17.10 but needed to chage my sources.list to get the archieved repositories before the do-release-upgrade.  Is there a way to automatically update the sources.list file because I have no idea what is required or not now???
[03:04] <TJ-> donavan: something very wrong with the system if those are missing
[03:05] <TJ-> TheFocus: if you've done an update to 17.10 then sources.list will have been updated
[03:06] <TheFocus> OK.  It still refences the yakkaty repositories....
[03:07] <TheFocus> I'll pastebin it... hold on...
[03:07] <TJ-> TheFocus: if so then it hasn't done a release-upgrade
[03:07] <donavan> cat Xorg.0.log
[03:07] <donavan> opps
[03:08] <TheFocus> https://pastebin.com/Gr96Gcj4
[03:08] <TheFocus> It updated the bottom section..
[03:09] <Neo4> donavan: when and why you get black screen?
[03:09] <Neo4> got*
[03:09] <TJ-> TheFocus: Looks ok to me; it's commented out all but the artful entries (# begins a comment  so those lines are ignored)
[03:09] <anonny> How to remove oracle java 9
[03:10] <Neo4> donavan: reinstall OS it will take a few hours had better than correct there something.
[03:10] <anonny> I've tried 'sudo apt-get purge oracle-java9-installer' but it doesn't work
[03:10] <TJ-> TheFocus: you can delete all those # lines... Also, you should comment-out or delete line 1 - the "deb cdrom: ... Yakkety..."
[03:10] <donavan> okay now this is annoying i cant tell its mostly a hardware issue how would i find that out any one ??
[03:10] <Neo4> anonny: try this sudo apt-get remove
[03:11] <donavan> i found the files lol i typed the command wrong i found the logs
[03:11] <TheFocus> TJ>  Cheers.  I'll have a look.  Just wasn't too sure why yakkaty had so many more and artful is only 4
[03:11] <TJ-> donavan: well done!
[03:11] <donavan> but this black screen keeps happining
[03:12] <TJ-> donavan: try "pastebinit /var/log/kern.log" and I'll take a look
[03:12] <anonny> Package 'oracle-java9-installer' is not installed, so not removed
[03:12] <anonny> I got this
[03:13] <anonny> why?
[03:13] <TJ-> anonny: because you didn't install it via the package manager, or you've got the wrong name
[03:13] <TheFocus> TJ > The first line was commented out...  Cut and paste error.  Cheers.
[03:13] <Neo4> anonny:  might be broken file was downloaded, you need somehow remove that installer, try this, sudo apt-get install -i
[03:14] <TJ-> TheFocus: Ahhhh... I wondered about that :)
[03:14] <Neo4> or sudo apt-get install -f
[03:14] <anonny> Yes, I didn't install it from package manager
[03:15] <TJ-> anonny: then you need to use the ununstall method provided by the installer you used
[03:16] <Neo4> anonny: might be this can help you, https://askubuntu.com/questions/525088/how-to-delete-broken-packages-in-ubuntu
[03:16] <Neo4> anonny: sudo apt-get clean
[03:16] <TJ-> anonny: try "apt-cache search -n oracle" see if you can find the package
[03:17] <anonny> Ok, I'll try
[03:17] <Neo4> anonny: or this both sudo dpkg --purge nodejs-legacy
[03:17] <Neo4> sudo apt-get install -f
[03:17] <TJ-> Neo4: Please don't suggest random commands like that!
[03:18] <Neo4> TJ-: when I have error I do random command and this is frequently help :)
[03:18] <donavan> noob question i have not worked with pastebinit i did the command that you said to run and i get a > and a blank cursor
[03:18] <TJ-> Neo4: No, it never helps. You've just asked anonny to /purge/ nodejs-legacy. If the user had that package installed even the configuration files would be deleted
[03:19] <TJ-> donavan: did you miss a matching quote mark?
[03:19] <Neo4> TJ-: ok, won't do it more
[03:19] <donavan> nope it says no such dir im trying to find out why
[03:19] <TJ-> donavan: press Ctrl+C to break out of that >
[03:20] <donavan> i got out
[03:20] <TJ-> donavan: just type the exact command I gave: pastebinit /var/log/kern.log
[03:20] <TJ-> donavan: it'll send the file to the ubuntu pastebin server and give you the URL which you can copy here
[03:21] <donavan> it says failed to contact server
[03:21] <TJ-> donavan: that suggests it doesn't have a network connection
[03:22] <donavan> what dosent ?? im sorry im really new to this still i just know basic stuff
[03:22] <Netwindaily> why isn't there a disconnect option in my vpn connections in the panel and in network manager,i had to on and off my network just to exit vpn.How to disconnect vpn from panel?
[03:22] <yuken> Not 100% sure what drivvers to use for a fairly old mobile laptop GPU o-o. It's AMD too, an HD 6770M.
[03:22] <yuken> Any ideas?
[03:23] <yuken> I want the best performance, so dunno if I should go for proprietary blobs, open-source crap (and if so, which open-source crap)
[03:23] <TJ-> donavan: if you get an error message "failed to contact server" that means the 'pastebinit' command couldn't make a network connection to paste.ubuntu.com
[03:24] <donavan> okay that makes sense. how would i fix that?
[03:24] <TJ-> yuken: does it show with a tick mark next to it? press the tick-mark and it should disconnect
[03:24] <yuken> TJ-, ... wut
[03:24] <TJ-> donavan: Can the PC ping ? "ping paste.ubuntu.com"
[03:25] <Neo4> yuken: dont use that, old garbage, just drop and buy new up to date... :)
[03:25] <donavan> its pining
[03:25] <TJ-> yuken: on my network-manager applet's taskar menu, there's a sub-menu for VPN connections. On that sub-menu is a list of VPNs, and I can connect/disconnect by clicking on them/the tick marks
[03:25] <yuken> You're talking to the wrong person.
[03:25] <yuken> Neo4, nah bro unless you wanna buy it for me.
[03:25] <TJ-> yuken: oh, sorry, got the wrong nickname :D
[03:25] <TJ-> Netwindaily:  on my network-manager applet's taskar menu, there's a sub-menu for VPN connections. On that sub-menu is a list of VPNs, and I can connect/disconnect by clicking on them/the tick marks
[03:26] <Netwindaily> Thanks tj
[03:26] <Neo4> yuken: I suggest simply don't use crap, buy modern things
[03:26] <yuken> Nah, this laptop is pretty nice. I just want to get it up and running well.
[03:26] <jai_ss> quick question. When you down an interface "sudo ip link set dev ens32 down". I can still connect to it via ssh to the ip set in etc/network/interfaces. Why does this happen? How do I "down" the interface fully
[03:26] <yuken> Not sure what drivers are the best for an old mobile AMD GPU under Linux.
[03:27] <TJ-> yuken: use "ubuntu-drivers devices" and "ubuntu-drivers autoinstall"
[03:27] <TJ-> donavan: if it pings the network is OK, must have been some temporary glitch
[03:27] <TJ-> donavan: what does "cat /etc/issue" report?
[03:28] <donavan> TJ: Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS \n \l
[03:29] <vivsoni_> Hi Team, sudo a2enmod version
[03:29] <vivsoni_> Failed with
[03:29] <vivsoni_> ERROR: Module version does not exist!
[03:30] <vivsoni_> please suggest
[03:31] <donavan> lol this makes no sense. i did the pastbinit command for the Xorg.0.log and it worked but not with the kern.log
[03:32] <TJ-> donavan: OK, let's try that paste again, with only a smaller part of the file. use this command (the text /inside/ the quote marks - not the quotes themselves): "pastebinit <( tail -n 1000 /var/log/kern.log )"
[03:32] <Jimmy_> Hello!
[03:32] <Neo4> vivsoni_: you use wrong, you want add there site with name version
[03:32] <Jimmy_> Looking for assistance on Ubuntu. Anyone knowledgable on this platform?
[03:33] <vivsoni_> Neo4: sorry i didn't get
[03:33] <Jimmy_> I'm trying to install debian on my laptop but it seems as im getting grub rescue problem
[03:33] <Jimmy_> @neo4 can i Dm you mate?
[03:33] <donavan> okay TJ that worked here is the url http://paste.ubuntu.com/26527946/
[03:34] <Neo4> Jimmy_: what does DM means?
[03:34] <TJ-> donavan: I guess the kern.log file was so large the server timed out whilst it was uploading last time!
[03:34] <donavan> makes sense
[03:36] <Neo4> vivsoni_: I don't know, here the same problem error https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38568364/module-version-in-apache
[03:36] <Jimmy_> Hey guys
[03:37] <apb1963> TJ-, logrotate needs a maxsize default for system files.  Mine was about 500M when I noticed it.
[03:37] <TJ-> donavan: I don't see any clues there
[03:37] <donavan> TJ where else should i look
[03:37] <Jimmy_> Sorry for disrupting. I was curious if anyone could help me out with grub. I'm having a grub rescue no such device unknown filesystem
[03:38] <Jimmy_> error and I've tried my very best. Can anyone personally PM me if they want to help out. That would be awesome. I've been working on this for like 2 days.
[03:38] <TJ-> Jimmy_: you might try #grub if the bootloader seems to be failing
[03:38] <vivsoni_> Neo4: actually i am trying to install devstack/newton....using stack.sh
[03:39] <vivsoni_> Neo4: which failed with 2018-02-06 03:27:19.198 | +lib/apache:install_apache_wsgi:83         sudo a2enmod version

[03:39] <TJ-> donavan: wait until the next time it happens, then when it's recovered, capture the log files immediately so they cover the time when the issue occured
[03:39] <donavan> how do i do that TJ
[03:39] <TJ-> vivsoni_: there is no apache2 module 'version' in the Ubuntu archives
[03:39] <apb1963> vivsoni_,
[03:39] <apb1963> 	
[03:39] <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
[03:40] <TJ-> donavan: do "cp /var/log/kern.log /var/log/Xorg.0.log $HOME/" to create copies of the log-files in your user's home directory, then you can share them from there

[04:21] <headrx>  Trying to install ubuntu. no other computers. bios wont see flash drive (to large im assuming?), no blank dvds. im trying to follow a guide : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows#The_CD_image_approach
[04:21] <headrx> im on part 6. cant locate boot.ini
[04:22] <headrx> windows 9
[04:22] <headrx> 8
[04:22] <coco> what is windows 9
[04:22] <headrx> aggravating
[04:23] <yuken> headrx, what is the flash drive formatted as?
[04:23] <yuken> FAT? FAT32? NTFS? EXT*?
[04:23] <headrx> fat 32
[04:23] <headrx> used netbootin
[04:23] <yuken> Try using Rufus or DD.
[04:23] <coco> you can use USB
[04:23] <headrx> my bios wont see it..  it did at first, but now does not. im not totally newb, this is just perplexing
[04:24] <headrx> im on an older machine
[04:25] <headrx> windows sees the usb,  the bios did as well at first. Does not now
[04:26] <coco> did you write MBR record?
[04:32] <ghostnik11> hey i am trying to set bluetooth to hci1 and then restart bluetooth from terminal.  i want to know if this is the correct command: set property bluetooth.interface=1
[04:34] <ghostnik11> my question is how do you tell bluetooth to restart from terminal, with what command
[04:34] <hitchhiker54> hey folks. bit of a nooby question, but i couldn't find a sufficient answer from google. i understand that using a mainline kernel from the repos might lack certain things, but is there a more precise answer for what they lack? will snaps have full isolation? will it lack appamor all together? All I could find was a vague mention of maybe missing drivers :s
[04:36] <Ubuntu> Hello?
[04:36] <hitchhiker54> hullo :)
[04:36] <smoked0g> hi
[04:36] <Guest49524> I'm from centennial/
[04:36] <smoked0g> alpha centari?
[04:37] <Guest49524> What?
[04:37] <smoked0g> im from earth
[04:37] <Guest49524> Ok, How do I exit?
[04:38] <Guest49524> [Quit: mmstick]
[04:38] <Guest49524> whoops.
[04:38] <coco> [Quit: mmstick]
[04:39] <coco> :q
[04:43] <headrx> okay
[04:43] <headrx> so the rufus didnt fix the issue
[04:43] <headrx> still not showing in bios
[04:43] <headrx> not even a boot from usb at all
[04:43] <headrx> How to install from windows?
[04:44] <hitchhiker54> don't think you can anymore? iirc that was stopped years ago
[04:44] <yuken> Unless you have an EFI compatbile machine, you can't really without a USB drive of some sort (HDD, flash, whatever)
[04:44] <yuken> or a CD/DVD/etc obviously
[04:45] <hitchhiker54> did you try dd option from rufus instead of the suggested hybrid iso? that might help
[04:45] <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] <yuken> Well, try the DD option first, but an EFI shell might allow you to do this.
[04:48] <headrx> alright, shall trying the dd option
[04:52] <headrx> okay, round 3. brb
[04:58] <headrx> okay, so ya , no go
[04:58] <headrx> im thinking its bc its a larger drive
[04:58] <headrx> 16gb
[04:59] <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
[05:00] <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) ?
[05:03] <headrx> yuken, how to do so ?
[05:03] <yuken> No clue.
[05:18] <headrx> ok, no go
[05:18] <headrx> so i had a thought
[05:18] <headrx> windows ubuntu installer.. said it has been discontinued
[05:19] <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
[05:20] <headrx> then what
[05:20] <lotuspsychje> headrx: wubi is outdated and not suggested anymore
[05:22] <lotuspsychje> headrx: what are you trying to achieve?
[05:22] <headrx> read above
[05:23] <lotuspsychje> headrx: i just joined
[05:24] <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
[05:25] <lotuspsychje> headrx: try to make your usb with universal usb installer
[05:25] <lotuspsychje> !usb | headrx
[05:25] <headrx> ive made a bunch of different usbs in the past. no stranger to this. this one is just not working correctly
[05:26] <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
[05:27] <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?
[05:34] <catbehemoth> 18.04 is the next lts version right?
[05:35] <lotuspsychje> catbehemoth: yes
[05:35] <lotuspsychje> catbehemoth: you can already try the development branch at #ubuntu+1 if you like
[05:36] <catbehemoth> Ill wait till april to try it. Kinda had a brain fart and wasn't sure when the next lts was due.
[05:43] <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
[05:48] <jordan_> hi
[05:48] <badboyjer> hey jordan_
[05:51] <iiita> can any tell me how to connect the add connect hexchat to the IRCserver created on my system
[05:51] <jordan_> mal eine frage... Installiere ich phpmyadmin auch über die Konsole ? Benutz ein Raspberry und habe Mate seit ner minute drauf
[05:52] <EriC^^> !de | jordan_
[05:53] <Space-Duck> Does "apt-get install atheme-services" create the atheme.conf files somewhere? Or do I need to manually create them?
[05:55] <badboyjer> type locate atheme.conf
[05:57] <EriC^^> Space-Duck: "dpkg -L atheme-services" shows all installed files of the package
[05:58] <Space-Duck> dpkg -L atheme-services | grep conf
[05:58] <Space-Duck> gives me a sad face
[05:59] <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
[06:00] <badboyjer> oh ok
[06:00] <badboyjer> that sucks
[06:00] <Space-Duck> iiita, /server 127.0.0.1
[06:11] <krytarik> Space-Duck: Then you'll have seen the '/usr/share/doc/atheme-services/examples/atheme.conf.example.gz' there.
[06:12] <Space-Duck> yeah, but now I'm wondering where to put it.... /etc/atheme/atheme.conf ?
[06:21] <table15> I am booted to the ubuntu live cd desktop what is the default root password?
[06:23] <Space-Duck> table15, there is no root for you... only sudo
[06:24] <krytarik> Space-Duck: Try asking in #atheme
[06:25] <table15> not good
[06:34] <krytarik> Space-Duck: But it would seem that's just '/etc/atheme.conf'
[06:36] <mekhami> https://gist.github.com/mekhami/0654db33ac467c46667d4b187cd0e7e4 can someone help me understand what i'm reading?
[06:36] <badboyjer> try dpkg --configure -a
[06:37] <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?
[06:38] <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
[06:39] <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
[06:41] <mekhami> i'm just gonna forget it and move it to a docker container.
[06:41] <badboyjer> ok go for it
[06:56] <badboyjer> mekhami any luck
[06:56] <mekhami> with docker, sure
[06:57] <badboyjer> you could of just used synaptic and downloaded and installed packages manually

[09:15] <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
[09:20] <aderieg> #leave
[09:30] <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.
[09:31] <jimbo18> 8GB
[09:34] <dingir> hrm i dont know
[09:34] <aderieg> quit
[09:34] <dingir> jimbo18 why that
[09:37] <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.
[09:38] <dingir> dunno..
[09:44] <ducasse> jimbo18: see https://calvin.me/create-persistent-ubuntu-16-04-live-usb-even-boots-ram/ or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootToRAM
[09:45] <hans__> the heck is this? https://i.imgur.com/9TmfMjj.png
[09:45] <hans__> i think that's a fairly new process created after running some updates on 16.04
[09:46] <jimbo18> ducasse thankyou so much, that's great!
[09:48] <geirha> hans__: To see what package installed that file: dpkg -S /etc/init.d/ondemand
[09:49] <brainwash> hans__: you can easily open that file with a text editor, and see what it does
[09:58] <mender27> Does anyone use log normalization with rsyslog? I noticed there is no package named 'rsyslog-mmnormalize' like in Fedora/CentOS/RHEL and I could only find 'liblognorm2'.
[10:02]  * DrManhattan mourns the loss of packages like Firestarter
[10:03] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW DrManhattan
[10:03] <bazhang> if you need a front end, then gufw
[10:03] <DrManhattan> bazhang, yeah I've checkd it and gufw
[10:03] <DrManhattan> ok, but neither is that easy
[10:03] <bazhang> ufw-kde if you are on kde DrManhattan
[10:04] <DrManhattan> ok, thank you
[10:04] <bazhang> welcome
[10:05] <bazhang> DrManhattan, in future you can /msg ubottu find package, then info package if you get a hit
[10:07] <DrManhattan> id give a million dollars to a person who would write a dd-wrt like interface for Ubuntu :)
[10:08] <brainwash> mender27: you have to rebuild the package with support for mmnormalize, or use some PPA
[10:08] <brainwash> mender27: maybe this one https://launchpad.net/~adiscon/+archive/ubuntu/v8-stable
[10:09] <bazhang> DrManhattan, they have a channel here on freenode iirc

[10:10] <adalbert> Hi, I'm getting a <defunct> message after a process in ps ax, what does that mean ?
[10:11] <adalbert> [bandwidthd] <defunct>
[10:11] <miratus> Hi all
[10:12] <mender27> brainwash: I see. That's a bit unfortunately. Thank you kindly for your help :).
[10:14] <ducasse> adalbert: it means it's now a 'zombie' process, not properly destroyed by their parent
[10:15] <adalbert> ducasse: Oh, ok. Cause the service is running without any other issue's as far as I know
[10:16] <jh5> after an update I'm having a boot time of @2min 3.9 seconds for multi-user.target
[10:16] <jh5> It's lubuntu 17.10
[10:18] <brainwash> jh5: probably due to a timeout. check systemd-analyze blame and systemd-analyze critical-chain
[10:19] <AdityaPatil> If I do "mount --bind /abc /def", and both directories happen to be on different partitions, then which partition does the data gets stored on?
[10:20] <jh5> brainwash: oh THANKS! 2 min connman-wait-online.service ;-)
[10:21] <brainwash> jh5: I guess this one could be disabled. check "systemctl status connman-wait-online.service" also
[10:22] <ducasse> AdityaPatil: the source, ie the first one
[10:28] <AdityaPatil> ducasse: Thanks👍
[10:28] <stvn> does ubuntu have issues with the z370 chipset
[10:38] <sylario> Bonjour. J'ai updaté ma VM de ubuntu 17.04 a 17.10, j'ai accéder une fois au bureau, et maintenant le démarrage bloque sur /dev/sda1: clean, qui clignote deux trois fois et tout ce que je peux faire c'est récupérer un terminal texte
[10:39] <Ben64> !fr
[10:39] <bazhang> sylario, #ubuntu-fr for french
[10:39] <sylario> SOrry, thought I was on the french one
[10:50] <ppf> how do i modify the default handler for mailto?
[10:50] <ppf> where is that configuration stored?
[10:50] <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
[10:55] <SimonNL> ppf: does your menu have something called preferred app's or so
[10:55] <ppf> SimonNL: i don't have a menu
[10:56] <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
[11:01] <SimonNL> ppf: does this help any. https://www.howtogeek.com/117709/how-to-change-your-default-applications-on-ubuntu-4-ways/      there is command line at the end
[11:03] <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
[11:04] <sima> and doesn't react to crtl+c
[11:06] <sima> zpool process that hangs also can't be killed, not even with -9
[11:06] <sima> maybe zfs and zpool toolset needs recompilation?
[11:07] <ppf> SimonNL: nope, it's not managed via alternatives
[11:07] <ppf> SimonNL: i was able to set it in mimeapps, though :)
[11:09] <SimonNL> was looking for that file
[11:11] <calimero_82> hi i ve problem with lxpanel, system panel, doesn t work good...
[11:13] <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
[11:14] <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
[11:15] <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?
[11:18] <ikonia> sima: depends on how clear the bug is, other reports of similar problems, bugs that exist in the upstream package etc.
[11:28] <hht> just move from fedora to ubuntu. what's your suggestion?
[11:30] <ppf> play solitair
[11:30] <hht> what do you mean?
[11:31] <Dynetrekk1> hht: be happy!
[11:33] <hht> thank you, you too.
[11:34] <jjh> can anyone help me understand why nothing happens when I try to execute this .sh file. I've made it executable with chmod
[11:35] <ppf> which sh file
[11:35] <jjh> I'm trying to install OpenNI
[11:35] <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...
[11:36] <jjh> but nothing happens with sudo ./install.sh
[11:37] <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 :)
[11:38] <ppf> jjh: so, we're here for the ubuntu support, not openni
[11:39] <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
[11:40] <hht> what does that file do ? can you show me the content of it?
[11:42] <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
[11:43] <ppf> jjh: how do you know it doen't do anything
[11:43] <SimonNL> jjh: and prompt showing correct folder ?
[11:44] <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
[11:45] <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
[11:46] <ppf> respawn1: i guess the iso
[11:46] <ppf> sorry, img
[11:46] <respawn1> ppf: thanks
[11:48] <jjh> ppf: OpenNIDevEnvironment is in the folder but it's not a directory
[11:49] <ppf> jjh: so the script worked
[11:49] <ppf> it created that file
[11:49] <jjh> ppf: It's already there in the zip file
[11:49] <Guest82608> Hi. WHat virtual machine works with ubuntu?
[11:49] <jjh> ppf: before using the .sh
[11:50] <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?
[11:51] <cody-girl> JimBunbtu, thank you
[11:51] <cody-girl> I will install Kali in a virtualbox on my ubuntu
[11:52] <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
[11:53] <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?
[11:54] <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
[11:55] <TJ-> !ram | IhrFussel
[11:55] <Kon-> Ubuntu has the "friendly" and "known software" parts
[11:56] <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..
[11:57] <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
[11:58] <ppf> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/NetworkConsole
[11:59] <JimBunbtu> cody-girl, Last I knew, Kali was an installable OS, although not intended to be a primary OS... very purpose specific.
[12:00] <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!
[12:01] <cody-girl> JimBunbtu, Your right sorry... Thanks for help guys. wishing you a good day
[12:02] <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
[12:05] <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] <IhrFussel> Oops xD
[12:06] <JimBunbtu> IhrFussel, ubottu is smart, just not a conversationalist.
[12:08] <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
[12:09] <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...
[12:11] <IhrFussel> JimBunbtu, do you mean SSD break sooner?
[12:11] <JimBunbtu> IhrFussel, they sure do.
[12:12] <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?
[12:13] <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).
[12:15] <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.
[12:16] <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
[12:17] <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...
[12:18] <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
[12:19] <akik> !piracy | linux_
[12:19] <ecormier> and I don't use swap :)
[12:20] <JimBunbtu> Sterist, I see ddrescue will generate a "ddrescue: write error: No space left on device" message
[12:21] <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
[12:22] <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
[12:23] <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
[12:24] <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
[12:25] <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 ;(
[12:54] <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?
[12:55] <JimBunbtu> SkFire, https://askubuntu.com/questions/145902/unable-to-mount-windows-ntfs-filesystem-due-to-hibernation
[12:57] <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...
[12:59] <SkFire> JimBunbtu, any other idea on it?
[13:01] <akik> SkFire: the option seems to be remove_hiberfile, not remove_hibernate
[13:02] <akik> SkFire: you could also pastebin the output from running ntfsfix
[13:05] <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] <akik> ok
[13:06] <SkFire> Looks like it's working. My fault. Appreciate your help
[13:13] <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?
[13:16] <akik> Vens: you can automate network interface configuration also in /etc/network/interfaces
[13:17] <akik> Vens: e.g. you can run commands before an interface is brought up
[13:18] <akik> Vens: pre-up and post-up are the keywords
[13:19] <Vens> akaik: Thanks, I will have a look
[13:20] <TJ-> Vens: Simply use nmcli and/or nmtui to control Network Manager from the CLI
[13:22] <ecormier> nmtui is great, allowed me to get away from depreciated wicd
[13:23] <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
[13:24] <ecormier> yup, but I really missed the ncurses interface over cli commands
[13:25] <TJ-> Originally, it required sending manual DBus messages !
[13:25] <ecormier> that was before my time with nm :)
[13:26] <vlt> ducasse: I'm not sure what data. Yes, I can read the whole block device the xfs file system lives on.
[13:28] <vlt> ducasse: As in there's no error (e. g. SATA) coming from the underlying hardware layer when trying to mount the xfs file system.
[13:32] <akik> vlt: the error message suggests trying and older xfs_repair
[13:32] <akik> an older xfs_repair
[13:38] <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
[13:38] <TJ-> bus. Put it in the MMC slot and it wrote the entire device with zeros without an error. Now running 'badblocks' against it to see if it's managed to map out the failing blocks.
[13:41] <bitess> hello. is /etc/systemd/system/   the right place to put my custom unit files?  there are already files like sshd.service, rsyslog.service, getty.target.wants    etc.  i don't want to interfere with the package manager.
[13:42] <vlt> akik: Yes. But I have no idea how to do that on my Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
[13:42] <vlt> debootstrap an old Ubuntu and chroot?
[13:44] <gpunk> Hi, I would like qupzilla 2.2.5 on xenial, is that possible ?
[13:44] <akik> vlt: 1) install build-essential 2) download older xfsprogs tar 3) configure & make 4) profit
[13:45] <akik> vlt: i'm not sure which version is "old enough". there's 3.1.9 for 14.04 https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=xfsprogs
[13:45] <vlt> akik: Ok, thank you.
[13:45] <akik> vlt: so you could also try this from a 14.04 live session
[13:46] <vlt> I'll try that. Thanks!
[13:47] <gpunk> because flash dont work with my 1.8.9
[13:50] <gpunk> or is it possible to have flashplayer on qupzilla 1.8.9 ?
[13:53] <TJ-> bitess: Yes

[14:02] <happycoder> I have a 64gb usb drive partitioned as two, one fat32 and the other ext4. I am able to mount both partitions and write to them from my laptop. But when i connect them to the ubuntu 16.04 desktops at my college (logged in as guest), it says permission denied when opening the ext4 partition, while the fat32 partition mounts fine. how to make the ext4 partition readable and writeable to all computers and all user accounts?
[14:03] <nichtnils> i dont want to learn for my klausur, could you please entertain me? thanks a lot guys.
[14:03] <akik> nichtnils: this is for ubuntu support only, not for entertainment
[14:03] <cfhowlett> nichtnils,this is a support channel.  go somewhere else for entertainment
[14:03] <nichtnils> why are you so salty?
[14:04] <nichtnils> but thanks for the information
[14:04] <nichtnils> tschüss
[14:05] <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
[14:07] <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
[14:08] <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"
[14:12] <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?
[14:16] <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
[14:17] <akik> Exterminador: but it's another question whether the application can start, according to what resources it needs to run
[14:18] <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
[14:21] <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
[14:22] <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"
[14:24] <Exterminador> it doesn't have a group (not explicitly) but has `user=root` on the init.d script
[14:27] <Exterminador> thanks for the tips guys. :)
[14:30] <gopal> TJ-: https://paste.ubuntu.com/26530113/ which one should i disable ?
[14:31] <Cu5tosLimen> hi
[14:32] <TJ-> gopal: on the basis that to begin with you need to know if any change via powertop will help, I'd set them all to "Good" :)
[14:32] <TJ-> gopal: if that is no improvement you know powertop cannot help on this
[14:32] <Cu5tosLimen> I want to deploy config on my edgerouterx with something like this { cat config | ssh ubnt@erx000 'apply-config -'; }
[14:32] <Cu5tosLimen> is it possible?
[14:32] <gopal> TJ-: and how to apply changes ?
[14:33] <TJ-> gopal: they're changed as soon as they show "Good"
[14:33] <gopal> TJ-: all set to good
[14:34] <gopal> TJ-: any other info to post ?
[14:34] <Brittany> hello
[14:34] <TJ-> gopal: you'll see the command's issued at top-of-screen briefly as it changes them (something like "echo 1 > /sys/devices/..."
[14:34] <gopal> TJ-: yes
[14:35] <garnichtnils> ja moin da sind wir wieder
[14:35] <garnichtnils> alles roger in camboger?
[14:35] <garnichtnils> kambotscher
[14:35] <garnichtnils> kambotscha
[14:36] <akik> garnichtnils: let's be civil here. if you have a ubuntu question, ask it
[14:36] <gopal> TJ-: on ml kernel my battery drains very fast
[14:37] <garnichtnils> ok i got one question, how do i maximize my battery duration?
[14:37] <garnichtnils> i do currently use tlp and disk
[14:37] <jsvcycling> Client: HexChat 2.12.4 • OS: Ubuntu "xenial" 16.04 • CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-5200U CPU @ 2.20GHz (1.37GHz) • Memory: Physical: 7.2 GiB Total (5.1 GiB Free) Swap: 7.4 GiB Total (6.5 GiB Free) • Storage: 164.3 GB / 252.0 GB (87.8 GB Free) • VGA: Intel Corporation Broadwell-U Integrated Graphics @ Intel Corporation Broadwell-U Host Bridge -OPI • Uptime: 4d 21h 13m 38s
[14:37] <garnichtnils> but its not the optimum i guess
[14:37] <jsvcycling> Whoops, sorry. Wrong button... :\
[14:38] <garnichtnils> no problem
[14:39] <TJ-> gopal: There's certainly something weird in those HP laptops. Whilst researching I found hundreds of reports of the same problem you're seeing, many also  when using Windows.
[14:40] <gopal> TJ-: on my laptop , it dont happen with windows
[14:40] <TJ-> gopal: which suggests there may be something in the drivers HP adds to Windows that turn something off on shutdown
[14:41] <gopal> TJ-: it means i cant use linux?
[14:42] <daniel> \
[14:42] <gopal> TJ-: it can be solved or i am wasting mine as well as other's time too ?
[14:44] <TJ-> gopal: Who knows? in these cases the amount of time spent digging when there's noone from HP who actually knows what the hardware config is, and how it's controlled, it's an open question. You might hit a brick wall like many others, or might strike it lucky
[14:46] <gopal> TJ-: thx for support , atlease you believe it is due to linux
[14:46] <gopal> bye
[14:46] <akik> gopal: just follow the bug reports you've issued. it hasn't gone to waste
[14:47] <JimBunbtu> gopal, of course you can use GNU/Linux... you may have to treat the computer like we did back in the day and physically power it off instead of relying on ACPI
[14:48] <gopal> it will damage my ssd ?
[14:48] <JimBunbtu> No. Still issue the power off command... and then once it's done, physically power it off
[14:48] <gopal> JimBunbtu: remove battery ?
[14:49] <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
[14:50] <JimBunbtu> gopal, I can't speak to your hardware directly, but you may only need to press the power button once, once it reaches that state.
[14:50] <happycoder> what is the gid and uid of guest session in ubuntu?
[14:50] <gopal> JimBunbtu: sudo poweroff(all led are off)  then i hold powerbutton and it starts again
[14:51] <TJ-> gopal: It's not due to Linux, it's due to the motherboard and HP firmware. It's just that HP haven't provided the information the Linux developers to control whatever is going on
[14:51] <gopal> TJ-:  can i ask hp for that information?
[14:52] <marc494> Hi there, I've question about 802.3ad. Is it possible to change the LACP Key (actor) in Ubuntu?
[14:52] <JimBunbtu> gopal, that sounds even more odd than I had last read in your bug report. If it were me, I would still be using GNU/Linux and yes, I probably would simply pull and replace the battery.
[14:54] <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

[15:06] <adalbert> My kernel 4.4.0-104 keeps spitting out kernel [1426120.196333] netlink: 12 bytes leftover after parsing attributes in process `ip'.  How do I stop this ? Any service I could restart ? So far I've restarted networking with no success.

[15:11] <ubuntusami> Hi guys
[15:11] <ubuntusami> I need help with my computer
[15:11] <ubuntusami> is this the right place?
[15:11] <ChileStuff> Greetings denizens
[15:12] <BluesKaj> is 4.4.0 the default kernel, adalbert?
[15:12] <efeliz> hi
[15:12] <ubuntusami> is this the right place?
[15:12] <efeliz> I would like to ask about an issue I've been facing: I had a windows print server, while having less than a hundred printers it was working as expected, but now I have more than two hundred printers and the spool service stops on the Windows Server.
[15:12] <ChileStuff> "right place" is a relative term
[15:12] <efeliz> So I've decided to install an Ubuntu server and configure all printers there (CUPS), the operation was successful, but while trying to connect windows clients, I have noticed that it's required to install the selected printer driver manually, so, a limited AD users account can't connect to any
[15:13] <efeliz> printer in my Ubuntu CUPS server, I'm interested in making this Ubuntu print server windows like on auto-installing printers drivers on windows client from the source Ubuntu print server.
[15:13] <ChileStuff> I've gotten a lot of good help with ubuntu problems here
[15:13] <adalbert> BluesKaj: yes i think so, everything straight from ubuntu repos
[15:14] <BluesKaj> sorry, gotta go...
[15:14] <efeliz> i'm a new around here

[15:35] <ChileStuff> ubuntusami sorry but's that's outside my abilities
[15:35] <ubuntusami> Thanks for listening ChileStuff
[15:36] <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 ^
[15:37] <ChileStuff> Sorry I can't help
[15:37] <ubuntusami> I'm not that smart at computers.. I couldn't understand what you said
[15:39] <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> https://i.imgur.com/0hzh63x.jpg
[15:39] <ubuntusami> https://i.imgur.com/NoHJm4m.jpg
[15:40] <ubuntusami> How can I fix this
[15:41] <ubuntusami> anyone?
[15:43] <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.
[15:44] <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
[15:45] <EoflaOE> I will try to look around youtube.
[15:45] <ubuntusami> Thanks.. it will really help me
[15:45] <EoflaOE> You are welcome
[15:48] <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
[15:49] <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
[15:51] <ubuntusami> ok
[15:52] <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.
[15:53] <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?
[15:54] <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
[15:55] <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
[15:56] <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
[15:58] <ubuntusami> ok
[15:58] <ubuntusami> im gonna follow that video
[15:59] <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.

[16:07] <YoJimmy> Hey all, curious about why my fresh install of Ubuntu gnome at home on
[16:07] <YoJimmy> argh
[16:08] <cart_man2> Could anyone please tell me how to switch off the GUI on Ubuntu Mate for Pi3?
[16:09] <YoJimmy> ...why my fresh install of Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 on sunday at home came with Kernel 4.13 out of the gate, but my fresh install of Server today still only has 4.4 - we need 4.13 for SMB protocol reasons, and my boss absolutely hates us installing the kernel by hand because reasons. Is there a "nice" way to force server 16.04.3 to use 4.13?
[16:11] <auronandace> !hwe | YoJimmy
[16:13] <YoJimmy> Ahh, you're lovely. Thank you!
[16:30] <Scott0_> im getting a black screen on ubuntu 16.04 installer and the same version of mini, is there some way around this?
[16:30] <Scott0_> it seems like it can't display for some reason
[16:31] <ducasse> !nomodeset | Scott0_ have you tried this?
[16:31] <Scott0_> yes, I've tried nomodeset, setting vga to ask, as well as disabling ahci
[16:32] <Scott0_> :/
[16:33] <Scott0_> when I did the vga=ask I would continue and then it would display something about decompression error
[16:34] <Scott0_> I also disabled the dvd drive in case it was a conflict of device names
[16:34] <Scott0_> I didn't think id have the same black screen problem with a command line install...
[16:35] <Scott0_> but it did
[16:36] <[twisti]> swapon -s only shows one of my two swap partitions, how come ? how can i debug whats wrong ?
[16:36] <EriC^^> [twisti]: pastebin /etc/fstab contents
[16:37] <[twisti]> give me a minute, rebooting right now
[16:38] <[twisti]> well this is taking disconcertingly long
[16:40] <[twisti]> https://pastebin.com/ZSVKAddn EriC^^
[16:41] <EriC^^> [twisti]: try sudo swapon -U <uuid of swap here>
[16:41] <[twisti]> i have done that before, do i need to do something special to make it persist through reboots ?
[16:43] <[twisti]> it shows up in swapon -s now, let me see if it survives rebooting
[16:43] <EriC^^> [twisti]: no, i mean try it on the uuid of the swap that isn't working right
[16:43] <EriC^^> alright, maybe try booting without quiet splash to see why it's taking long
[16:43] <[twisti]> right, i did that, and it worked, but i did that before too, so im not sure what made it stop working
[16:44] <IhrFussel> Is there a way to ad hostname to "last" ?
[16:44] <IhrFussel> add*
[16:44] <hansz> Hey. I have an ongoing problem in many computers with fresh installs of Ubuntu 16.04 - when in fullscreen I don't see the window-switcher when pressing alt-tab
[16:45] <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] <Scott0_> what could cause uncompression error system halted?
[16:45] <EriC^^> [twisti]: try sudo swapon -U <uuid>
[16:46] <Scott0_> I have 32Gb of ram, so it can't be a lack of memory
[16:46] <[twisti]> it says it cant find the uuid, wtf
[16:46] <EriC^^> Scott0_: what's the context?
[16:46] <EriC^^> [twisti]: try sudo blkid
[16:46] <hansz> For example, at the moment I have console on fullscreen which does not hide my window switcher, and gedit in fullscreen which does hide it.
[16:47] <[twisti]> oh haha, i had a typo in the uuid in the fstab
[16:47] <[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] <[twisti]> now boot time is fixed too, thanks
[16:47] <neurre> how do i mount mtp device so I can cp stuff from the device with console?
[16:48] <EriC^^> [twisti]: great, no problem
[16:50] <gpunk> hi, i have qupzilla 1.8.9 on xenial, but no flashplayer , any help ?
[16:52] <EriC^^> gpunk: enable multiverse repo if it isn't already and run 'sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer'
[16:54] <Trel> Is there a trick for changing your keyboard layout on Ubuntu server? I'm using 16.04 LTS but 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration' isn't working, it doesn't bring up any kind of menu
[16:54] <gpunk> i already done that, it 's neon kde based on xenial ...
[16:56] <Trel> Actually, one more thing I want to try before I assume something's broken, be back in a few
[16:57] <ducasse> gpunk: neon is not supported here, try #kde-neon
[17:03] <neurre> what shows filesystem statistics?
[17:03] <neurre> current transfer rates
[17:04] <neurre> ah
[17:04] <neurre> dstat
[17:05] <Trel> No dice, I still can't get the menu to come up with 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration'  It acts as if I did something and continues, processes triggers, and then regnerates the boot image.
[17:06] <zergut> Hello
[17:06] <zergut> are there any gui ftp clients in ubuntu?
[17:07] <EoflaOE> Try filezilla.
[17:07] <shanky> hi
[17:07] <zergut> thanks is it preinstalled?
[17:07] <zergut> i mean it comes with distrubution?
[17:08] <shanky> after update of ubuntu grub menu is coming
[17:08] <shanky> any solution??
[17:08] <TJ-> Trel: have you tried it with "-p high"  (high priority questions)
[17:11] <EoflaOE> zergut, it is not preinstalled. You should install filezilla
[17:11] <Trel> TJ-: as a switch to dpkg-reconfigure? One sec
[17:11] <zergut> EoflaOE: are there any preinstalled gui apps?
[17:12] <dsynapse> hi
[17:12] <zergut> EoflaOE: okay, installing, thank you anyway
[17:13] <Trel> TJ-: no difference, here's the exact output http://termbin.com/4vfu
[17:13] <Trel> that happens immediately
[17:13] <dsynapse> I'm having a weird issue with DNS on VPN and was curious if anyone else had experienced it.  Basically when I connect to OpenVPN my DNS may pick up VPN DNS information or it might still have the old stuff cached and I'm curious what the fix is
[17:13] <neurre> zergut, type "ftp" to search
[17:13] <neurre> zergut, it shows Filezilla and bareFTP
[17:14] <neurre> zergut, but neither is preinstalled so you need to install them. but it is easy to install them
[17:14] <TJ-> Trel: what command generated that output?
[17:15] <zergut> neurre: yeah, i checked it, thank you, found console ftp utility only
[17:15] <chrowe[m]> Has anyone had an issue with 17.10 Desktop not connecting to ethernet? It recognizes the cable when I plug it in, but then just says "Connecting" for a minute or so, and then turns off.
[17:15] <EoflaOE> you are welcome zergut. sorry for late answer
[17:16] <zergut> np, i have the problem with late answer as well ;)
[17:16] <TJ-> Trel: if you haven't already, I'd recommend "sudo apt -f install" in case other packages haven't been configured fully yet
[17:17] <chrowe[m]> I don't think I have made any changes to the network setting. I don't remember when it stopped working (if it ever did work) because I have mostly used wifi in the past.
[17:17] <genii> chrowe[m]: You might want to check that on the other end of the cable is a device that can auto recognize if a straight through cable or a crossover cable is connected to it
[17:17] <Iarla> Can anyone take a look at the bootchart for my uncles Ubuntu install? I'm don't know how to interpret it but I'm handy with the command line. https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2384381
[17:17] <MonkeyDust> Trel  I picked this up in this channel ... save it as 'fixpackages' ... make executable with 'chmod +x fixpackages' ... then run it with './fixpackages' ... http://paste.ubuntu.com/15121279/
[17:17] <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
[17:19] <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'
[17:20] <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"
[17:21] <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
[17:22] <chrowe[m]> TJ-: I am reviewing  /var/log/syslog now
[17:23] <Trel> MonkeyDust: I'll report back on that in a while, I want to run those manually
[17:25] <michele_> a
[17:25] <michele_> hi
[17:26] <michele_> hello
[17:26] <chrowe[m]> TJ-:  not sure what it all means but looks like it is timing out waiting for a DNS address https://gist.github.com/chrowe/7736e2d75b45eb4d44f366e92f4f2eb1
[17:26] <TJ-> Trel: is the system missing "/var/lib/dpkg/info/keyboard-configuration.config" (which is called when you configure the package) ?
[17:27] <Scott0_> what could be causing uncompression error system halted? I've already run memtest and passed on all modules
[17:27] <Scott0_> everything im reading on the topic says it's a memory issue
[17:27] <TJ-> chrowe[m]: "<warn> [1517937627.8968] dhcp4 (enp4s0): request timed out" ... no reply from the DHCP server, or no DHCP server on that network segment
[17:27] <chrowe[m]> TJ-: it is a Realtek

[17:29] <michele_> the application minecraft in ubuntu software center is a demo the game????' pls
[17:30] <TJ-> chrowe[m]: you need to check whatever device the interface is connected to
[17:31] <chrowe[m]> TJ-: right. I am using an Apple Airport Express. I am able to connect all my other devices fine using DHCP over wifi and ethernet. And using the same cable and port I can connect to ethernet fine on Windows on the same laptop.
[17:31] <kostkon> michele_, doubt it. which one though. You need an account to play the game anyways
[17:32] <TJ-> chrowe[m]: right, so if you assign an address to the interface manually in the same sub-net as your other devices, can it ping them, and can they ping this PC?
[17:32] <michele_> the game minecraft on ubuntu software centrer is a demo he game???
[17:33] <TJ-> chrowe[m]: "modinfo r8169" shows that many devices that driver supports require firmware; check in /var/log/kern.log whether a firmware file was correctly loaded by r8169

[17:38] <eXino> Hi! :)
[17:38] <kostkon> eXino, hi
[17:39] <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?
[17:39] <xXLabRatXx> what kind of card do you have?
[17:40] <Trel> TJ-: could I call that config script directly or is it more nuanced than that?
[17:41] <chrowe[m]> TJ-: I am getting inconsistent results. Sometimes it times out and sometimes the ping works
[17:42] <TJ-> Trel: it's called from a package system wrapper that provides functions to it
[17:42] <chrowe[m]> TJ-: Actually, from it says " Destination Host Unreachable" from the Ubuntu machine when it is not working
[17:42] <TJ-> chrowe[m]: sounds like a bad cable or socket
[17:42] <TJ-> chrowe[m]: or the router has a duplicate entry in it's ARP/neighbour table
[17:44] <xXLabRatXx> eXino: what kind of card do you have?
[17:45] <EoflaOE> I want to compile a program that depends on glib things. When I try to run .configure, I installed required packages as it told me. I am stuck at the glib-2.0 and non-existent packages that they are not found. I installed glib-2.0, it stil complained about them not being found even if it is installed properly.
[17:46] <ducasse> EoflaOE: have you installed the -dev packages?
[17:47] <xXLabRatXx> ducasse: i agree, -dev packages are sometimes the ones needed
[17:47] <EoflaOE> I don't think so. When I tried "sudo apt-get install glib-2.0-dev", it said that libspice-client-glib-2.0-dev is already installed.
[17:50] <LanDi> hey guys, I just can not install nividia drivers on my ubuntu 17.10. when I do, I can not get into the login screen
[17:50] <ducasse> EoflaOE: do you mean libglib2.0-dev?
[17:51] <xXLabRatXx> LanDi: its a common problem - it happened to me (got a black screen)  and I had to uninstall it.
[17:51] <LanDi> xXLabRatXx, exactly, the same here
[17:51] <LanDi> xXLabRatXx, what should i DO?
[17:51] <TJ-> EoflaOE: Don't you need "libglib2.0-dev" ?
[17:51] <EoflaOE> I think it is the correct package.
[17:51] <TJ-> haha snap @ ducasse
[17:51] <xXLabRatXx> LanDi: try hitting f1-f4 it will get you unto a text based console that you can remove the package untill you find a fix for your specific case
[17:51] <EoflaOE> Let me report back after install
[17:52] <lotuspsychje> LanDi: tryed the xorg session on nouveau?
[17:55] <xXLabRatXx> LanDi: try looking at: https://askubuntu.com/questions/968365/ubuntu-17-10-nvidia-drivers-black-screen-loop/968692#968692 i think it was the same one i looked at for help
[17:55] <LanDi> xXLabRatXx, i have already remove the nvidia driver, since I can not use it
[18:01] <EoflaOE> Now, I installed the correct package and libdbus-glib-1-dev. The package which is left is desktop-agnostic. What -dev package do I have to install to get it?
[18:03] <ioria> maybe libdesktop-agnostic-dev  ?
[18:04] <EoflaOE> I already tried that. It is not found
[18:05] <ioria> !info libdesktop-agnostic-dev
[18:05] <ioria> !info libdesktop-agnostic-dev  xenial
[18:05] <ioria> !info libdesktop-agnostic-dev  trusty
[18:05] <ioria> EoflaOE, it's for trusty
[18:06] <kostkon> EoflaOE, i.e. it has been deprecated
[18:06] <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.
[18:09] <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?
[18:13] <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.
[18:15] <EoflaOE> Thanks anyways for help, The program I was compiling is obsolete.
[18:16] <alien64> eXino: https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/AVerMedia
[18:16] <alien64> that may be of use
[18:17] <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
[18:18] <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.
[18:19] <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
[18:20] <alien64> yup check yhay out
[18:20] <alien64> check

[18:36] <JonelethIrenicus> is 4.15 in the repos yet?
[18:37] <irk0in> hello
[18:37] <yosefrow> hey
[18:37] <irk0in> on trusty
[18:37] <irk0in> route -v
[18:38] <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?
[18:40] <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
[18:41] <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
[18:42] <irk0in> im running trusty
[18:43] <yosefrow> apb1963, how do you determine the gateway with ip route?
[18:45] <apb1963> yosefrow, well, mine says: default via 174.134.xx.xx dev enp6s0
[18:46] <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
[18:47] <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
[18:48] <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
[18:49] <yosefrow> @lotuspsychje, whats the command for posting logs to pastebin

[18:49] <neurre> lotuspsychje, I get  sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk
[18:50] <neurre> lotuspsychje, and lsusb shows the sd card reader, but nautilus wont show the device, nor sudo fdisk -l
[18:51] <yosefrow> found it  `echo something | nc termbin.com 9999`
[18:51] <lotuspsychje> neurre: hastebin us the whole output from syslog tail
[18:52] <yosefrow> @neurre, `tail /var/log/syslog | nc termbin.com 9999`
[18:53] <yosefrow> paste the link here

[18:53] <neurre> http://termbin.com/2pnv
[18:54] <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
[18:55] <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
[18:56] <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] <lotuspsychje> neurre: check with gparted, if it cant see/format its probably dead
[18:56] <apb1963> yosefrow, well there is that.
[18:57] <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
[18:58] <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?
[18:59] <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
[19:00] <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
[19:01] <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
[19:02] <apb1963> yosefrow, I use pastebin.com or some variation, that lets you select when it gets deleted.  pastebinit doesn't give you that control.
[19:03] <apb1963> so I copy & paste to pastebin.com
[19:03] <apb1963> I might use pastebinit if my data is unclassified.
[19:04] <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.
[19:05] <apb1963> hmmm maybe pastebinit has a config file... I suppose I should look into that some day.
[19:05] <yosefrow> hastebin is interesting
[19:06] <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
[19:07] <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
[19:08] <apb1963> Good idea!  ubuntu 16.04...  hostapd exits prematurely.
[19:08] <apb1963> some details here: https://pastebin.com/GcNS6V4J
[19:11] <_deku> hello
[19:14] <deku_> join #python
[19:16] <yosefrow> hi deku_
[19:17] <Syscope> anyone there?
[19:17] <lotuspsychje> !ask | Syscope
[19:17] <yosefrow> Syscope, yep
[19:17] <Syscope> Ubuntu customer service team wake up
[19:17] <yosefrow> lol
[19:18] <Syscope> hi
[19:18] <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
[19:19] <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)
[19:20] <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]  * hggdh wonders...
[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
[19:21] <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 :)
[19:22] <yosefrow> Syscope, lots of ppl here happy to help if you need any help with using/installing ubuntu
[19:23] <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] <kondenzator> is this slovenia
[19:23] <Syscope> nacc how old are you?
[19:23] <DEADBEEF> Hallo
[19:23] <zach-15803> installing the Digimend drivers specifically
[19:23] <nacc_> Syscope: offtopic.
[19:24] <kondenzator> is this slovenia a?
[19:24] <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] <lotuspsychje> !sk | kondenzator
[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?
[19:25] <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/
[19:26] <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
[19:27] <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
[19:28] <nacc_> zach-15803: and also, please read what I just wrote
[19:28] <zach-15803> great...
[19:29] <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
[19:30] <nacc_> zach-15803: so .. not ubuntu
[19:31] <nacc_> zach-15803: please find an appropriate channel to use for support
[19:31] <nacc_> !alis | zach-15803
[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.
[19:32] <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
[19:33] <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
[19:34] <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
[19:35] <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
[19:49] <fub> Hi. I am looking for a linux data recovery tool to recovery data from a NTFS drive (external). Any suggestions?
[19:50] <kostkon> !recover
[19:50] <akik> fub: photorec has worked quite nicely for me
[19:52] <fub> akik: also for documents, not only photos?
[19:52] <Olanzapin> How do i enter settings in transmission using unity 16.04?
[19:52] <akik> fub: it tries to find files, it doesn't separate them
[19:53] <kostkon> Olanzapin, from the menu?
[19:53] <Olanzapin> well settings
[19:53] <fub> akik: what do you mean by "separate them"?
[19:54] <kostkon> Olanzapin, Edit → Preferences?
[19:54] <akik> fub: i meant it looks for any files
[19:54] <akik> fub: my english is not good today
[19:54] <kostkon> Olanzapin, i just opened it and had a look
[19:54] <fub> okay
[19:55] <akik> fub: oh actually it has a file suffix list https://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/File_Formats_Recovered_By_PhotoRec
[19:55] <Olanzapin> ahh ok i must click the torrent to get properties avalible
[19:55] <akik> fub: also https://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/Add_your_own_extension_to_PhotoRec
[19:56] <kostkon> Olanzapin, oh you were looking for your torrents' properties ok
[19:57] <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?
[19:58] <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?
[19:59] <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?\
[20:00] <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
[20:01] <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
[20:02] <Olanzapin> thx anyway
[20:13] <cek> I'd like to start an X11 program from within clean environment assuming I'm running under same user as X session. How?
[20:14] <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
[20:15] <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.
[20:18] <TJ-> Rahoul: is dropbear listening on port 22 of the WAN interface? is there another rule blocking port 22 on that interface?
[20:19] <Rahoul> yes it is
[20:20] <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
[20:25] <TJ-> Rahoul: is there a DROP policy on filter table INPUT chain or a DROP for those ports?
[20:26] <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'
[20:27] <TJ-> Rahoul: there needs to be an INPUT ALLOW for port 2222 - is there one?
[20:28] <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?
[20:29] <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
[20:30] <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 ?
[20:31] <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
[20:32] <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?
[20:33] <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.
[20:34] <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?
[20:35] <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'
[20:36] <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
[20:37] <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`
[20:38] <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
[20:39] <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
[20:40] <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
[20:41] <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
[20:42] <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] <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
[20:43] <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 ?
[20:44] <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
[20:45] <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
[20:46] <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."
[20:47] <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"; }
[20:48] <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
[20:49] <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.
[20:50] <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
[20:51] <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
[20:52] <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
[20:56] <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" $2; }
[20:56] <ATLowther> akik: Although the other way is more simple, but now I know for the future, thanks!
[20:57] <akik> ATLowther: and i know that arguments don't work with aliases like i expected :)
[20:57] <ATLowther> akik: :)
[20:59] <yuken> God damn. I can't figure out what drivers to install for this GPU still
[20:59] <yuken> it refuses to the use AMD GPU, just uses built-in iGPU
[21:02] <mortici> yuken: did you try downloading from from AMD, and disabling the onboard gpu in BIOS?
[21:03] <yuken> Can't disable on-board, it's a mobile switchable-graphics machine
[21:04] <mortici> yuken: Oh... hm its been a while since I have dealt with a mobile graphics chip.
[21:04] <yuken> It's quite an old one too, HD 6770M on a Sandy Bridge machine
[21:04] <mortici> yuken: I might be of no help besides looking up AMD site for the driver/rpm/deb file maybe.
[21:05] <yuken> I don't even care about switchable graphics, just getting the HD 6770M to run 24/7 would be good
[21:05] <Guest99160> Hi there! Do you know if there will be a backport of Plasma 5.12 for Ubuntu 16.04?
[21:07] <akik> heh. man bash "The rules concerning the definition and use of aliases are somewhat confusing."
[21:09] <tnguyzxcv> hello i'm trying to install pip but first i need libssl-dev.  when i try to install it throws this:
[21:09] <tnguyzxcv> ~/Downloads$ sudo apt-get install libssl-dev Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree        Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package libssl-dev
[21:10] <taizweb> sudo apt update?
[21:10] <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
[21:11] <tnguyzxcv> taizweb: https://paste.ubuntu.com/26532077/
[21:11] <tnguyzxcv> then when i run that apt-get again it throws the same error
[21:12] <taizweb> open Software Updater and edit your sources
[21:12] <akik> !eol | tnguyzxcv
[21:12] <taizweb> take out the one's that are breaking since it's preventing you from updating your list
[21:12] <akik> tnguyzxcv: support ended for zesty, that's why you see those errors
[21:13] <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?
[21:14] <akik> tnguyzxcv: not sure but changing the repos to new server address should help
[21:14] <akik> tnguyzxcv: read the url ubottu posted
[21:15] <tnguyzxcv> ic
[21:18] <tnguyzxcv> akik: do you know where i can find the libssl-dev source to install thru make?
[21:19] <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
[21:20] <nacc_> tnguyzxcv: why would you nneed libssl-dev's source to install pip?
[21:20] <tnguyzxcv> nacc_: Could not fetch URL https://pypi.python.org/simple/pip/: There was a problem confirming the ssl certificate: Can't connect to HTTPS URL because the SSL module is not available
[21:20] <akik> tnguyzxcv: did you change the repository urls for the new server address?
[21:21] <tnguyzxcv> akik: let me do that, what file do i modify?
[21:21] <akik> tnguyzxcv: /etc/apt/sources.list
[21:21] <tnguyzxcv> thanks
[21:23] <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
[21:24] <tnguyzxcv> oh whoops ur right
[21:24] <akik> tnguyzxcv: just follow the second url in ubottu's message
[21:27] <tnguyzxcv> akik: https://paste.ubuntu.com/26532157/ ah okay
[21:28] <zo9> how can i make a search in terminal in a dir for all .jpg file
[21:29] <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>  
[21:30] <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
[21:31] <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
[21:32] <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
[21:33] <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?"
[21:34] <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
[21:36] <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
[21:37] <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
[21:38] <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
[21:39] <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
[21:40] <zo9> its jpg im sure
[21:41] <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
[21:42] <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
[21:45] <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
[21:47] <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
[21:48] <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
[21:49] <Sterist> seems it's just telling it to only make one pass through the imaging and not retry
[21:53] <akik> Sterist: it sets the retries to 1
[21:54] <akik> yes
[21:54] <zach-15803> alright, so persay i only have the driver.c file, hwo would i install it?
[21:55] <akik> Sterist: i'm not sure if it exits the ddrescue command completely
[21:55] <Richard_Cavell> Does anyone know which version of gcc is used in 18.04?  Or 17.10?
[21:56] <nacc_> zach-15803: please stop asking offtopic questios
[21:56] <nacc_> zach-15803: you do't install a .c fille, you build it.
[21:56] <zach-15803> how is this off topic?
[21:56] <nacc_> zach-15803: and you're still presuambly not on ubunut, so you're just trying to find ways around being ontopic
[21:56] <zach-15803> well if i go to the linux channel, i cant type ANYTHING it just gives me a error
[21:57] <geirha> Richard_Cavell: you can search it up at https://packages.ubuntu.com
 can i be heard?
[21:57] <zach-15803> * ##linux :Cannot send to channel
[21:57] <zach-15803> thats the error it gives me
[21:58] <amd64> zach-15803 ever heard of #ubuntu ?
[21:58] <zach-15803> thats here
[21:58] <amd64> I am so drunk I thought I was on #windows
[21:59] <zach-15803> ...
[22:00] <amd64> zach-15803 did you get banned?
[22:00] <Sterist> my output command (to file, not clone) is: /dev/sdb1/ps3bad/ps3.hdd and I get the the error Cannot open output file: Not a directory
[22:00] <zach-15803> NO! ive never been on that channel before
[22:00] <BillD73> amd64: that or they require a registered nickname
[22:00] <Sterist> what am I doing wrong ;(
[22:00] <amd64> BillD73 I was able to get on w/o reg
[22:01] <BillD73> hmm  I got in fine  too
[22:01] <zach-15803> f-it i leaving
[22:01] <amd64> zach-15803 did you try restarting your client?
[22:01] <nacc> amd64: please stop.,
[22:01] <nacc> amd64: i have no idea what you're going on about
[22:02] <akik> Sterist: /dev/sdb1 is a reference to the partition 1 on sdb. you should mount /dev/sdb1 somewhere
[22:02] <akik> Sterist: let's be careful out there
[22:02] <amd64> nacc what do you mean?
[22:02] <zach-15803> Yes, ive even tried REBOOTING the oc
[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
[22:03] <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"
[22:04] <amd64> nacc what does that have to do with me going on about odd things you don't understand?
[22:05] <ducasse> zach-15803: you need to be registered to talk in ##linux

[22:08] <amd64> nacc I apologize. I was trying to assist someone even if that meant they were off topic
[22:09] <ericus> I need to manually remove some old kernels, how would I do that? apt does not work due to no space
[22:10] <akik> ericus: remove a previous initrd or two from /boot and retry the command
[22:14] <antonm> Hi
[22:15] <amd64> hello antonm
[22:21] <ericus> akik did that, only current initrd now. Any other ideas?
[22:21] <ericus> It's a VM if that matters
[22:21] <nacc> ericus: provide the xact command used and output in a pastebin
[22:23] <akik> ericus: include the df output too
[22:23] <ericus> Ok hang on
[22:28] <ericus> https://paste.ubuntu.com/26532401/
[22:28] <akik> ericus: ok you've ran out of space in /
[22:29] <akik> ericus: if you have space in the volume group, enlarge the lv that has /
[22:29] <ericus> dpkg: error: failed to write status database record about 'vim-tiny' to '/var/lib/dpkg/status': No space left on device
[22:29] <nacc> ericus: right, not rellated to kernels at alll
[22:32] <begl_workaround> A great many of fucking negroids need to be culled or sterilized to avert at least a modicum of further degradation of the human gene pool.  Covert irradiation of negroid ghettos with hard x-rays or gamma rays (> 100 keV) would be nice.
[22:32] <nacc> !ops
[22:34] <ericus> how would I find out what's eating all the space akik?
[22:35] <akik> ericus: you can run "cd /; sudo du -sk * | sort -n"
[22:36] <akik> ericus: it'll show the directories disk usage and then you can drill down where you see the most usage
[22:36] <ericus> $ sudo du -sk * | sort -n
[22:36] <ericus> du: cannot access '*': No such file or directory
[22:37] <akik> ericus: i'm literally running the same exact command currently
[22:38] <nacc> that would imply a shell difference possibly
[22:38] <akik> ericus: did your irc client change the * character somehow ?
[22:39] <ericus> I dont think so, UTF-8
[22:39] <ericus> *
[22:39] <geirha> I generally go with   sudo du -haxd1 / | sort -h
[22:39] <akik> ericus: did you go into the root dir?
[22:39] <geirha> in particular the -x avoids entering other file systems
[22:40] <akik> ericus: ok so you know how to see disk usage
[22:40] <ecormier> ncdu is nice as well
[22:40] <degenerate> Hi, i'm trying to upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04 on linode and i'm getting stuck. i have the exact same problem as outlined in this thread but there is no answer to it
[22:40] <degenerate> https://serverfault.com/questions/836889/ubuntu-14-04-on-linode-not-doing-do-release-upgrade
[22:41] <nacc> degenerate: what does `uname -r` report?
[22:42] <degenerate> 4.14.14-x86_64-linode94 and this is my /etc/apt/sources.lst http://termbin.com/aiak
[22:42] <nacc> degenerate: right, not actually ubuntu
[22:42] <nacc> degenerate: you wantn to talkl to linode
[22:42] <nacc> degenerate: that's a linode kernell, which means it's not reallly ubuntu at that point
[22:42] <nacc> degenerate: and allso you're using the linode mirrors, which can mean you are using their packages, etc.
[22:42] <degenerate> k thanks
[22:42] <ericus> this is what I get from / akik https://paste.ubuntu.com/26532451/
[22:43] <akik> ericus: it doesn't ask for root password?
[22:44] <ericus> yes ofc
[22:44] <akik> ericus: i don't get why it doesn't go through the dirs
[22:44] <geirha> you won't see any output (except errors/warnings) until it is done recursively going through all the dirs
[22:44] <akik> ericus: but use any du command options that you're used to
[22:44] <ericus> oh wait, now it's working.
[22:45] <akik> :(
[22:45] <akik> you don't have the instant flash memory
[22:45] <ericus> https://paste.ubuntu.com/26532476/
[22:46] <akik> ericus: your /var seems to have grown a bit
[22:47] <ericus> yeah, what might cause that?
[22:47] <akik> ericus: but did you check if your vg has unallocated space?
[22:48] <akik> ericus: "sudo vgdisplay -v" shows it
[22:50] <akik> ericus: if there's unallocated space in the vg, you could use lvresize to enlarge the root fs lv
[22:51] <akik> ericus: also /var/cache/apt/archives keeps the installed deb files and could grow
[22:54] <ericus> what are these in /var/cache/apt?
[22:54] <ericus> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 46333952 Feb  6 23:28 pkgcache.bin.gPN3yM
[22:54] <ericus> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 47977457 Feb  6 23:28 srcpkgcache.bin
[22:55] <ericus> safe to remove akik?
[22:55] <akik> ericus: no
[22:55] <kostkon> ericus, same effect as  apt-get clean?
[22:56] <akik> ericus: free space in your volume group? lots of deb files in /var/cache/apt/archives?
[22:56] <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?
[22:58] <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%
[23:00] <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
[23:02] <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?
[23:03] <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
[23:04] <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.
[23:05] <ericus> 5.7G  4.2G  1.2G  79% /
[23:05] <akik> ericus: yay!
[23:05] <akik> ericus: what was it?
[23:08] <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> ?
[23:09] <ericus> akik the apt-cache removed fixed the dpkg-issues, and from there apt-get autoremove
[23:15] <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?
[23:16] <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
[23:17] <zackitaxi> It says 1 Device Found. Imma restart brb
[23:21] <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?
[23:22] <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"
[23:24] <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
[23:26] <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
[23:27] <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
[23:28] <Fire-Dragon-DoL> kind of hard to understand the quality of the webcam from there, lol
[23:30] <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
[23:31] <TJ-> Fire-Dragon-DoL: UVC == it uses standard kernel drivers, nothing needed from camera manufacturer
[23:34] <kostkon> Fire-Dragon-DoL, start from logitech's
[23:44] <monty_hall> how to run jython pip?
[23:49] <Aeyesi> Hello, Can anybody tell why every time the filesystem boots into read-only ? (its not corrupted or anything)
[23:50] <Aeyesi> and it ignores anything in fstab as it fails to apply it
[23:53] <Aeyesi> anybody?
[23:56] <genii> Aeyesi: This will happen if you have a bad fstab entry.
[23:56] <genii> The mounter will choke and spit you out
[23:57] <Aeyesi> @genii no, i cleared it to make sure it is correct... it just happens whenever I touch it!
[23:58] <Aeyesi> so even if the disk is not defined, it goes read-only
[23:58] <genii> If you have no fstab entries at all same thing happens
[23:58] <genii> You need at least 1 valid entry for /
[23:58] <Aeyesi> Well... let me re-re-re-recheck
[23:59] <mar__> dmesg | tail
[23:59] <mar__> or /var/log/syslog
