| digital_light | hello | 00:08 |
| digital_light | so when I try to boot into ubuntu all it gives is the normal loading screen and then a blinking _ | 00:09 |
| digital_light | note I am running a dual boot with a win10 | 00:09 |
| Kon- | @digital_light, do you have an Nvidia GPU? | 00:10 |
| digital_light | yes | 00:11 |
| digital_light | a 1070 | 00:12 |
| Kon- | type "-nomodeset" at the blank prompt and hit enter | 00:12 |
| Kon- | no quotes | 00:12 |
| digital_light | I have tried typing and nothing appears on screen | 00:12 |
| digital_light | but I will try it. brb switching to mobile | 00:13 |
| digital_light | And back | 00:16 |
| digital_light | So it was -nomodeset right? | 00:17 |
| Kon- | Yes | 00:17 |
| digital_light | Nothing | 00:18 |
| digital_light | Note i changed the drivers to the official ones from nvidia a long time ago | 00:18 |
| zacknite | Well that was a disaster. I got it to load up the USB of Ubuntu and it was like "Install" so I picked that one | 00:19 |
| digital_light | The weirdest part is that it worked tgis morning | 00:19 |
| zacknite | It formatted my drive then was like "GRUB can't install to /target/ without GRUB you can't do anything" | 00:19 |
| zacknite | I paraphrase of course | 00:19 |
| === coXZist1 is now known as coXZist | ||
| zacknite | So now Windows is gone, and I don't have Ubuntu. When I try to run Ubuntu live it can't find a network device | 00:19 |
| zacknite | But I can load up Ubuntu from USB live boot, though with no networking and install fails | 00:20 |
| digital_light | I am probably going to have to reinstall won't i... | 00:21 |
| zacknite | According to askubuntu if you have this problem and have internet while installing everything will work somehow. But I don't know why Ubuntu says I have no network devices. Very frustrating. I am using someone else's laptop for now | 00:24 |
| digital_light | So i shut it down and it loads the screen and the in the top left it something along the lines of [something] reboot:shutdown | 00:24 |
| FishPencil | Is there a way to get my FiiO E07K DAC to work on Ubuntu? I plug it in, but any audio device I test doesn't play sound though it | 00:30 |

| digital_light | What is the difference between ubuntu 16 lts and 17? | 00:39 |
| FishPencil | digital_light: You'll have to be most specific. Packages will be newer with 17 obviously | 00:40 |
| digital_light | Well what are the advantages of one vs the other? | 00:41 |
| === mkv is now known as m4v | ||
| FishPencil | digital_light: LTS has a longer support period so you have to upgrade less, which can be a plus. LTS is generally more stable, but non-LTS is considered stable as well | 00:42 |
| FishPencil | digital_light: Non-LTS has newer packages though, which could be considered a plus | 00:42 |
| digital_light | That setup seems weird to me but what ever | 00:43 |
| FishPencil | Is it possible to change output audio settings, like the Hz? | 00:48 |
| Fire-Dragon-DoL | the logitech c920 is not listed on uvc website but looks like it's compatible...? | 00:49 |
| Fire-Dragon-DoL | TJ- , kostkon any chance you tried a logitech C920 and it works? It looks like they support UVC (logitech providing UVC drivers for windows) | 00:51 |

| Cousarr | Got my motherboard working again after the BIOS update. Ubuntu installer still has kernel panics before accomplishing anything on my Ryzen | 02:01 |
| eaglgenes101 | Okay, now can I have byobu-launcher launch a new session each time rather than trying to attach to an existing session? Reading some tmux docs helped | 02:01 |
| eaglgenes101 | I could go ahead and modify the byobu scripts, but I'd rather not | 02:04 |

| headrx | Question. Im doing a ctf security game.. Supposed to look in a folder, which has 7 files. -file00, -file01, and etc. Its in the only one that is human readable, as it says. i know i can just cat each one, but if there were a 1000 of em, that would suck.. so how does this whole ' find -readable' work ? | 02:07 |
| headrx | it returns all 7 as readable | 02:07 |
| headrx | which they all contain ascii text , but only one is readable | 02:07 |
| headrx | human readable anyways | 02:07 |

| digital_light | Ok so i could use some help find where the drivers for wifi cards are... | 02:09 |
| digital_light | I just did a fresh install and my wifi card isnt working (expected) but icant remember what commands i had to run to install the default drovers | 02:10 |
| digital_light | Pls excuse spelling i am on mobile | 02:10 |
| eaglgenes101 | @headerx unless you know that people are encoding in legacy formats, do a first pass for utf-8 encoding | 02:12 |
| eaglgenes101 | utf-8 detection isn't much, but it can definitively identify text utf-8 encoded text files as such | 02:13 |
| eaglgenes101 | If not, then you're going to have to dig deeper into charset detection | 02:13 |

| jerichowasahoax | headrx: would something like "find /whatever/dir -exec head -n 1 {} +" work | 02:16 |
| headrx | i cant get that command to take at all | 02:18 |
| headrx | expecting argument to exec | 02:18 |
| jerichowasahoax | no quotes | 02:18 |
| headrx | i mean, i know that the file07 had my answer | 02:18 |
| jerichowasahoax | the {} + at the end is important | 02:18 |
| headrx | but im trying to find a more effiecent way to do it | 02:18 |
| jerichowasahoax | you may need to do \{\} depending on your shell settings | 02:19 |
| headrx | Still didnt work | 02:19 |
| jerichowasahoax | well, i don't know what to tell you then, it works on my machine | 02:19 |
| Cousarr | I got it not to panic this time up, but it seems to be stuck in a loop | 02:19 |
| headrx | worked that time | 02:19 |
| headrx | i mean, its handy, i can cat each file, no big deal, but if it was 1k files, that would be rough | 02:20 |
| headrx | gotta be a better way to doi t | 02:20 |
| jerichowasahoax | headrx: because this is what it's supposed to do: https://paste.pound-python.org/show/OVNLgdUxTBoGIUWK2CQd/ | 02:20 |
| jerichowasahoax | headrx: the idea is it would find each file in the given directory, then run "head -n 1 $FILENAME" | 02:22 |
| jerichowasahoax | headrx: basically printing the first line of every file | 02:22 |
| jerichowasahoax | if you had a big directory of 1,000 files, you could pipe it to a pager, like less or most | 02:23 |
| headrx | https://paste.pound-python.org/show/l2Ijo0w9Z91ZqEy2gWeZ/ | 02:23 |
| jerichowasahoax | that looks like it works to me | 02:24 |
| headrx | im assuming there isnt really a human readable sort of search query.. i mean i know there is the file -readable | 02:24 |
| headrx | but alas, thanks amigo | 02:24 |
| jerichowasahoax | readable doesn't refer to human readable | 02:25 |
| jerichowasahoax | it refers to whether or not you or programs have file permission to read that file | 02:25 |
| jerichowasahoax | basically, "skip files you would otherwise get permission denied errors about" | 02:25 |
| jerichowasahoax | as for human readable, it's not quite as easy as that | 02:26 |
| jerichowasahoax | because how do you define "human readable" | 02:26 |
| eaglgenes101 | The best you can really do with "human readable" off the shelf is charset detection for a bunch of common encodings | 02:26 |
| digital_light | Anyone want to try and help get my wifi card working | 02:27 |
| eaglgenes101 | If you need better than that, you're going to have to cobble up some of your own tools, and maybe train a machine learning model | 02:27 |
| jerichowasahoax | file07 in your example here, for instance, is technically valid plain text, but "koReBOKuIDDepwhWk7jZC0RTdopnAYKh" doesn't mean anything in any human language ;-) | 02:27 |
| Random832 | "file" makes some attempts to detect human languages | 02:28 |

| digital_light | Where are the deb files for the default wifi card drovers? | 02:29 |
| digital_light | Drivers * | 02:29 |
| headrx | jerichowasahoax: correct | 02:29 |
| jerichowasahoax | digital_light: for what wifi card | 02:29 |
| digital_light | I honestly cant remember but when i set up this machine before i think i ended up using the drivers that came with ubuntu | 02:31 |
| jerichowasahoax | that's not helpful; there's no "one size fits all" driver | 02:31 |
| digital_light | I know... let try amd dig up the manual | 02:32 |

| digital_light | Ok it is a asus ac1900 pcie adapter | 02:34 |
| headrx | um, quick question . want to search the entire computer. find - - ? | 02:36 |
| headrx | whats my path | 02:36 |
| headrx | " ./ " | 02:36 |
| Random832 | ./ is the current directory | 02:36 |
| Random832 | wherever you were when you executed the command, affected by cd | 02:37 |
| mostdef | Hi. Is there a way to view all the latest system logs combined, instead of hunting down syslog, kernel, auth, dpkg, etc? | 02:37 |
| Random832 | do find / if you want to search everything | 02:37 |
| Random832 | mostdef, probably not | 02:37 |
| mostdef | did some clever soul make some tool that would give you a stream sourced from all those logs? | 02:37 |
| mostdef | figures :( | 02:37 |
| jerichowasahoax | headrx: for the ENTIRE computer, i'd probably use some sort of indexing search tool | 02:38 |
| jerichowasahoax | headrx: which i think "locate" is | 02:38 |
| jerichowasahoax | mostdef: which version of ubuntu | 02:39 |
| mostdef | jerichowasahoax: 16.04 | 02:39 |
| digital_light | Wtf why is gnome shell taking 90%+ of my cpu (i7-6700k) | 02:40 |
| jerichowasahoax | mostdef: i think you can get journalctl to do that somehow | 02:40 |
| mostdef | jerichowasahoax: but if you got a solution for 18.04, I'd love to hear it, cause I'll install that when it's out | 02:40 |
| mostdef | jerichowasahoax: OK, off to read up | 02:40 |
| jerichowasahoax | mostdef: i won't say 100% for sure that you can, because i only ever look up specific units, e.g. "journalctl -u postfix" | 02:41 |
| jerichowasahoax | mostdef: but i THINK maybe | 02:41 |
| mostdef | jerichowasahoax: hey, it's a lead | 02:41 |
| jerichowasahoax | that's the spirit! | 02:41 |
| digital_light | So. I have an asus ac-1900 and i need some help finding/installing the drivers | 02:41 |
| Cousarr | Any ideas on the installer panicking? I'm about to give up and just stick to the Windows 10 install that is working on the machine. | 02:41 |
| digital_light | Any ideas for what? | 02:42 |
| Cousarr | I'm unable to install Ubuntu because the installer fails to load past GRUB | 02:42 |
| digital_light | Remake your install disk | 02:43 |
| === abomb_ is now known as abomb | ||
| Cousarr | I did. I've also tried Ubuntu server and Lubuntu | 02:43 |
| jerichowasahoax | digital_light: google suggests your wifi card is broadcom based | 02:43 |
| jerichowasahoax | digital_light: i'm very sorry | 02:43 |
| headrx | find / -user bandit7 -group bandit6 -size 33c 2>/dev/null | 02:44 |
| digital_light | Whats wrong with that? | 02:44 |
| headrx | what does the 2>/dev/null | 02:44 |
| headrx | mean | 02:44 |
| jerichowasahoax | digital_light: you have to download a tool called b43-fwcutter and extract firmware blobs from the windows drivers to get it to work | 02:44 |
| jerichowasahoax | headrx: redirects file descriptor 2 (usually standard error) to /dev/null | 02:45 |
| jerichowasahoax | headrx: or, as it's usually used, "mute error messages" | 02:45 |
| headrx | i see, so only send the non-errors to the stdout | 02:46 |
| jerichowasahoax | yeah | 02:46 |
| headrx | excellent | 02:46 |
| eaglgenes101 | Is there a way for ssh to send a value of an environmental variable different than what the system is | 02:46 |
| headrx | Im assuming the way im learning linux isnt a terrible one (super basic ctf's).. any suggestions on CTF's or maybe a video course on linux fundamentals? | 02:46 |
| eaglgenes101 | so, like in my env has E=0 but E=1 is sent through ssh | 02:47 |
| jerichowasahoax | eaglgenes101: where does E come from, do you know | 02:47 |
| fz_salam | I have an ext4 formatted usb drive. It mounts fine, but 'ls' fails saying permission denied when I am logged in using guest session. A vfat formatted drive works as expected. | 02:47 |
| eaglgenes101 | It's a metasyntactic variable, the variable could equivalently be FOO | 02:48 |
| digital_light | So b43-fwcutter actually comes with linux (found the deb in thw installs folder) now how do i extract it from the windows drivers? | 02:48 |
| jerichowasahoax | eaglgenes101: oh, i didn't see the first part of your question | 02:48 |
| fz_salam | Is this a bug in ubuntu? This is the behaviour in both 12.04 and 16.04 | 02:48 |
| jerichowasahoax | eaglgenes101: well, i don't know of a direct way to configure SSH to do that | 02:49 |
| jerichowasahoax | eaglgenes101: but if you configure it to send whatever the "current" value is from your environment, you could do "E=1 ssh targetbox.example.net" | 02:50 |
| eaglgenes101 | hm | 02:51 |
| larry__ | is vi included in mate desktop | 02:52 |
| eaglgenes101 | You can try it yourself | 02:52 |
| jerichowasahoax | larry__: the two aren't related, but i do believe vi comes standard with all ubuntu flavors | 02:52 |
| eaglgenes101 | I don't know which exact program is the terminal emulator in mate, but I imagine it's easy enough to find | 02:52 |
| eaglgenes101 | Once you have it open, type vi, then hit enter | 02:52 |
| eaglgenes101 | If you have it, vi will fill up the screen | 02:52 |
| mostdef | jerichowasahoax: journalctl does do it. but I don't think Ubuntu is fully making use of it for all components. When I booted up the system, I got a "system error" Ubuntu wanted me to report. Alas, no details to be found in journalctl. | 02:53 |
| ecormier | the included vi is a crippled version, apt install vim to get the full on | 02:54 |
| jerichowasahoax | mostdef: ubuntu was still relatively new to systemd by 16.04, the situation might improve in 18.04 | 02:54 |
| jerichowasahoax | rip matrix.org | 02:54 |
| mostdef | let's hope so | 02:54 |
| larry__ | i did but insert mode doesnt seem to work properly | 02:55 |
| ecormier | larry__: apt install vim | 02:55 |
| jerichowasahoax | larry__: because the default version of vi is more like the original, "POSIX" vi...which sucks | 02:55 |
| jerichowasahoax | larry__: as ecormier said, you probably want "apt install vim" for a properly usable version | 02:56 |
| larry__ | will it work on ubuntu desktop | 02:56 |
| jerichowasahoax | yes | 02:56 |
| digital_light | Is there ever a reason gnome shell would use 90% of an i7-6700k | 02:57 |
| larry__ | cool thanks guys, im a centos 7 server and have changed my desktop to mate | 02:58 |
| digital_light | Because it is really bogging my sustem down | 02:58 |
| digital_light | System* | 02:58 |
| eaglgenes101 | It's just a heavyweight | 02:59 |
| eaglgenes101 | If you want a lighter desktop environment, mate, kde, and xfce all have official ubuntu flavors | 02:59 |
| digital_light | What is it even doing? | 03:00 |
| eaglgenes101 | so they should all work | 03:00 |
| eaglgenes101 | *shrugs* | 03:00 |
| eaglgenes101 | oh and lxde | 03:00 |
| eaglgenes101 | which is the lightest | 03:00 |
| eaglgenes101 | unless you like the idea of configuring a window manager yourself | 03:01 |
| Neo4 | what app is used for create bloc schemes? | 03:01 |
| ecormier | I've got gnome running here and it's not taxing my system like that... maybe it's wayland? | 03:01 |
| digital_light | Wayland? | 03:01 |
| ecormier | when you log in you can choose xorg over wayland | 03:02 |
| ecormier | gnome shell shouldn't be using 90% | 03:02 |
| digital_light | Right now i am trying (and failing) to get my wifi to work | 03:03 |
| eaglgenes101 | So unless someone is willing to hook up gnome to a profiler and figuring out what it's doing, I think this is the best we can say | 03:03 |
| ecormier | digital_light: you can open a terminal and run top to see which process is eating up your cpu | 03:04 |
| digital_light | Gnome-shell @ any where from 1%-98% | 03:05 |
| ecormier | digital_light: I would log in with xorg to test (if you're on 17.10) and also check to see if there is proprietary drivers for your video card | 03:06 |
| eaglgenes101 | If you want to know what it's doing specifically, compile it yourself with profiling info and run gprof | 03:06 |
| ecormier | Gnome shell doesn't use that much cpu, so I'd guess it's a video problem | 03:06 |
| eaglgenes101 | Then send the results over to upstream | 03:07 |
| ecormier | eaglgenes101: that isn't helpful | 03:07 |
| eaglgenes101 | fair enough | 03:07 |
| digital_light | I dont even have wifi... i am not compiling anything yet | 03:08 |
| ecormier | I'm running gnome, with about 13 windows open on 3 monitors including a webbrowser and I'm using about 2% cpu | 03:08 |
| digital_light | Even top is saying it usomg lime 200% of my cpu ??? | 03:09 |
| digital_light | Using* | 03:09 |
| ecormier | I doubt it's a gnome problem and more a setup problem... like I said before... most likely video issues | 03:09 |
| ecormier | digital_light: which version of ubuntu are you running | 03:09 |
| digital_light | 17.10.1 | 03:09 |
| digital_light | Fresh install | 03:09 |
| ecormier | so log out and after entering your password don't press enter but click the little gear and select gnome on xorg | 03:10 |
| ecormier | see if that makes a difference | 03:10 |
| ecormier | (either a gear or 'select session' | 03:11 |
| eaglgenes101 | we can only guess looking from the outside | 03:11 |
| eaglgenes101 | but follow the other guys's advice | 03:11 |
| eaglgenes101 | I'm running a gaming-spec ultrabook, so I don't see performance issues on a regular basis | 03:11 |
| Cousarr | Doesn't seem like anyone has any ideas on the failed install, going to askubuntu.com with the issue. | 03:11 |
| eaglgenes101 | ? | 03:11 |
| Cousarr | I can't install ubuntu from USB. I've tried Ubuntu server and lubuntu, verified fat32 and UEFI. The system kernel panics once install is selected from GRUB | 03:13 |
| Cousarr | I've also tried 2.0 and 3.0 ports | 03:14 |
| eaglgenes101 | Do checksums check out? | 03:14 |
| Cousarr | I'm not sure how to verify a checksum | 03:14 |
| eaglgenes101 | There should be an option to verify the integrity of the disk or something of that sort | 03:15 |
| digital_light | Ok still give ridiculous number some times (100+) but seems stable ~30% | 03:15 |
| Cousarr | Rufus didn't complain after putting the ISO on the USB | 03:16 |
| ecormier | digital_light: one more thing to check, open the 'software & updates' program and go to the 'additional drivers' tab and see if you can enable something for your video card | 03:16 |
| digital_light | I have a slight issue... i haven't got internet yet | 03:17 |
| ecormier | I'm not sure you need it for this | 03:18 |
| ecormier | try it anyways, if it doesn't work try again after you're connected | 03:18 |
| tuxer | test | 03:18 |
| Cousarr | I'm not seeing a "verify image* check box with Rufus | 03:18 |
| eaglgenes101 | When it boots, I mean | 03:19 |
| eaglgenes101 | There should be an option to check disk integrity | 03:19 |
| digital_light | What tab would it be? | 03:19 |
| ecormier | additional drivers | 03:20 |
| Cousarr | Ah, let me try that | 03:20 |
| eaglgenes101 | ...just to check, when you set the computer to boot off the disk, you get a GRUB menu, right? | 03:20 |
| Cousarr | Yeah | 03:20 |
| eaglgenes101 | What do the options read | 03:20 |
| Cousarr | Try Lubuntu without installing, Install Lubuntu, OEM Install (for manufacturers), Check disc for defects | 03:22 |
| Cousarr | My most recent attempt was with Lubuntu | 03:22 |
| jyc | does anyone know what happened to the Ctrl + Alt + Num# shortcuts for moving windows in GNOME? seems they are no longer in 17.10 | 03:23 |
| Cousarr | Check disc for defects also causes a Kernel Panic | 03:23 |
| pantera | No idea. | 03:23 |
| ecormier | jyc: check the keyboard settings 'keyboard shortcuts' | 03:24 |
| jyc | ecormier: awesome, thanks! :) | 03:24 |
| ecormier | yw | 03:24 |
| * pantera | 03:25 | |
| Cousarr | For reference, Windows 10 is currently operating fine on this machine | 03:26 |
| digital_light | Oh yeah... i ran into this before.... i dont have the essentials installed... | 03:26 |
| digital_light | Build-essentials | 03:26 |
| pantera | For other reference, Windows 10 is the reason 17.10 is on this machine. | 03:27 |
| ecormier | digital_light: if this doesn't help, maybe updating your system after you're net enabled will help | 03:27 |
| Cousarr | I'd much prefer to be running Ubuntu, yes | 03:28 |
| digital_light | I mean to get net enabled | 03:28 |
| Cousarr | Unfortunately Ubuntu is not cooperating | 03:28 |
| larry__ | thanks guys vim works perfectly | 03:28 |

| pantera | @Cousarr what's wrong? | 03:28 |
| larry__ | nothing now | 03:29 |
| Cousarr | (Cousarr) I can't install ubuntu from USB. I've tried Ubuntu server and lubuntu, verified fat32 and UEFI. The system kernel panics once install is selected from GRUB | 03:29 |
| rolandbeowulf | Hey, is there any sort of dotfiles addon that will warn you of imminent end-of-life for your distro? | 03:29 |
| rolandbeowulf | I was going to implement it for my dotfiles but figured id check around first | 03:29 |
| pantera | Can you burn it on a DVD? | 03:29 |
| pantera | I remember years ago buying a DVD or something for Ubuntu when I was on dialup. | 03:30 |
| pantera | Then I got stuck in windows land for a few years... | 03:31 |
| Cousarr | I can try. I don't have any DVDs on hand | 03:31 |
| Budgii | @pantera, LOL | 03:31 |
| Cousarr | I have CDs, but Ubuntu is too large | 03:31 |
| rolandbeowulf | A spindle of discs is like 15 bucks tho lol | 03:31 |
| larry__ | what r u trying to install it on | 03:31 |
| Budgii | There are smaller stacks rolandbeowulf | 03:31 |
| Budgii | Do you have a jump drive? | 03:31 |
| pantera | I'd send you one but... | 03:31 |
| === TreyNTX69 is now known as treyTX | ||
| pantera | I'm sure you have a friend near that has one? | 03:32 |
| rolandbeowulf | If you're looking for alternative installation methods, but you *could* potentially try setting up PXE on your network and getting it on that way | 03:32 |
| rolandbeowulf | Unsure how this would get better results than a USB boot though | 03:32 |
| === treyTX is now known as TreyNTX69 | ||
| Cousarr | System specs: imgur.com/a/7zxuS | 03:32 |
| larry__ | what version re u trying to install | 03:33 |
| Cousarr | I'd go grab some DVDs before trying to get PXE to work | 03:33 |
| ecormier | Cousarr: if you don't plan on dual booting you could try turning off secure boot to see if that helps | 03:33 |
| Cousarr | I've tried Ubuntu server and Lubuntu | 03:33 |
| pantera | Your computer is too fast for linux. | 03:33 |
| rolandbeowulf | So are you trying to get some flavour of linux on your PC or just ubuntu? | 03:33 |
| rolandbeowulf | if the former try booting up a flavour designed for USB boot first | 03:34 |
| rolandbeowulf | like Gparted USB | 03:34 |
| larry__ | turn off secure boot and enabled legacy in the bios then reinstall | 03:34 |
| Cousarr | Honestly any flavor of Linux would work, i just want to run FFMPEG without my computer deciding to reboot in the middle of the night | 03:34 |
| rolandbeowulf | Something super simple and minimal to rule out everything on the application level | 03:34 |
| rolandbeowulf | idk | 03:34 |
| ecormier | larry__: you don't need to enable legacy, efi should work fine | 03:34 |
| rolandbeowulf | or do what larry_ says | 03:34 |
| rolandbeowulf | lol | 03:34 |
| larry__ | works foe me | 03:35 |
| ecormier | legacy is so 2003 | 03:35 |
| larry__ | i was running windows and and ubuntu loaded fine | 03:35 |
| larry__ | windows 10 | 03:36 |
| ecormier | if your machine has efi, you should use it | 03:36 |
| Cousarr | I'm using UEFI | 03:36 |
| larry__ | yes i agree | 03:36 |
| headrx | HWhat does this mean ? The password for the next level is stored in the file data.txt, where all lowercase (a-z) and uppercase (A-Z) letters have been rotated by 13 positions | 03:37 |
| headrx | what does it mean rotated | 03:37 |
| segersjerry | headrx, google rot13 | 03:38 |
| larry__ | im running ubuntu 14.04 server on a hp g5 server wnd in kvm a red hat server | 03:38 |
| Cousarr | Won't i have to reimage the install for BIOS if i enable legacy? | 03:39 |
| Cousarr | It's currently set up for UEFI | 03:39 |
| larry__ | u have a choice when installing | 03:40 |
| larry__ | fom usb | 03:40 |
| ecormier | BUT that could mess with the windows install... | 03:40 |
| Cousarr | right, but the image was specifically a UEFI boot, so no MBR or something like that | 03:40 |
| Cousarr | I'm downloading Gparted now to give that a go | 03:41 |
| larry__ | ok i see | 03:41 |
| Cousarr | I'm going to take the dog out while that downloads | 03:42 |
| larry__ | nite guys | 03:44 |
| ecormier | o/ | 03:44 |
| Cousarr | Gparted downloaded, making the boot USB now | 03:48 |
| Budgii | night larry_ | 03:48 |
| === dingir___ is now known as dingir | ||
| Cousarr | Gparted Kernel-panics just the same as Ubuntu | 03:50 |
| ecormier | that's not good... | 03:51 |
| pantera | IDK. You're trying to dual boot right? | 03:51 |
| ecormier | Cousarr: what was the link to your machine specs? | 03:51 |
| Cousarr | Imgur.com/a/7zxuS | 03:52 |
| Cousarr | I'd like to dual boot so i have the option for Windows when not doing FFMPEG stuff | 03:53 |
| === pantera is now known as pantera_ | ||
| ecormier | Cousarr: for fun, try systemrescuecd http://www.system-rescue-cd.org/ | 03:53 |
| ecormier | I'm guessing you are going to need something with a much newer kernel | 03:54 |
| Cousarr | On USB again? | 03:54 |
| ecormier | *bleeding edge | 03:54 |
| ecormier | yep | 03:54 |
| === pantera_ is now known as pantera | ||
| ecormier | it's most likely not a usb problem | 03:54 |
| ecormier | my next test would be to test the ram from the boot menu | 03:55 |
| Cousarr | Okay, downloading | 03:55 |
| pantera | Can you boot into the USB drive you made? | 03:55 |
| ecormier | try running the cd first though to see if it still panics with the newer kernel | 03:55 |
| pantera | Like to give it a spin on the machine. | 03:55 |
| Cousarr | Windows RAM test came back SAT when I checked earlier | 03:56 |
| ecormier | not windows ram test | 03:56 |
| ecormier | linux ram test | 03:56 |
| ecormier | windows turns a blind eye to ram issues that linux refuses to run on | 03:57 |
| Cousarr | What are you asking for, pantera? The USB boots, but won't launch the application. | 03:57 |
| segersjerry | Cousarr, I'm a relative noob, so this could be worthless, but have you tried both the usb3 port and the usb2 port? For instance, I can't get my wacom tablet working on a usb3 port, but it just works on a usb2 port. | 03:57 |
| Cousarr | I have, yeah. Both front and back. | 03:57 |
| segersjerry | k | 03:57 |
| pantera | Valid try though. | 03:58 |
| ecormier | that shouldn't make any difference with a block device | 03:58 |
| ecormier | if it didn't work, you wouldn't get the boot menu | 03:58 |
| pantera | So you are able to boot into the USB but it hangs up when trying to install. | 03:58 |
| Cousarr | Yeah | 03:58 |
| pantera | And you've partitioned the drives or does the installer do that? | 03:58 |
| ecormier | I'd guess a ram/hardware issue | 03:58 |
| Cousarr | I have unpartitioned space standing by | 03:59 |
| ecormier | could be faulty, could be too new | 03:59 |
| Cousarr | Another 4 mins on the rescue CD download | 04:00 |
| ecormier | I've been living in gentoo world for the last 8 years, but I've seen ram issues frequently enough | 04:00 |
| Cousarr | DDR4 is expensive. I hope it's not the RAM | 04:01 |
| pantera | This is now over my head. One last thing I'd try would be to partition and format the drive you want to install to in the OS that's on there then try again.. | 04:01 |
| ecormier | Cousarr: if it is, RMA | 04:01 |
| Cousarr | It's past RMA, I pulled it out of an older machine | 04:02 |
| ecormier | mmm that make it even more suspect :{ | 04:02 |
| ecormier | it's just a blind guess though | 04:02 |
| pantera | I've been watching this: https://youtu.be/wBp0Rb-ZJak 7+ hour video off and on all day. | 04:04 |
| Cousarr | Making the USB now | 04:04 |
| pantera | It's a good refresher for stuff I unlearned but ffs it's long. | 04:05 |
| pantera | Only 3.5 hours into it. | 04:05 |
| ecormier | Cousarr: hopefully it's not this: http://www.extremetech.com/computing/254750-amd-replaces-ryzen-cpus-users-affected-rare-linux-bug | 04:06 |
| digital_light | Is there a way to dpkg all deb files in a folder? | 04:07 |
| === r0Oter is now known as r00ter | ||
| Cousarr | Yeah. I already updated the BIOS to hopefully get around that being a thing. | 04:07 |
| digital_light | I tried sudo dpkg -i *.deb but that only selects the first match | 04:07 |
| ecormier | digital_light: maybe something like: for f in *.deb ; do sudo dpkg -i $f ; done | 04:09 |
| Cousarr | System rescue CD did not kernel panic | 04:09 |
| ecormier | Cousarr: then you might just need a distro with a newer kernel | 04:10 |
| ecormier | check the kernel version: uname -a | 04:10 |
| Cousarr | Hmm... It seems to have froze at attempting to mount /dev/sda2 | 04:11 |
| ecormier | Cousarr: see if there's anything in dmesg | 04:11 |
| Cousarr | Where would i find that? | 04:12 |
| ecormier | if you can, open a terminal and run: dmesg | 04:12 |
| Cousarr | I opened a terminal in Grub, it doesn't know Dmesg | 04:13 |
| ecormier | not in grub, you'd neet to open it in X or login to a tty | 04:14 |
| Cousarr | Is that possible without a working Linux version? | 04:14 |
| ecormier | Cousarr: I thought you said you booted systemrescuecd | 04:15 |
| Cousarr | It got past the initial kernel stuff and froze in device mounting | 04:15 |
| ecormier | can you try ram test from the grub menu | 04:15 |
| Cousarr | Tried launching it with disable-kernel-mode-settings. It panicked | 04:17 |
| Cousarr | I'm not seeing a RAM test in the grub menu | 04:17 |
| ecormier | Cousarr: I'm out of ideas.... maybe try updating the efi firmware.... | 04:17 |
| pantera | digital_light: is there a recursive operator? | 04:18 |
| Cousarr | Hmm, it panicked this time when i tried to do a normal launch | 04:18 |
| ecormier | yeah that sounds like hardware/kernel issues | 04:18 |
| Cousarr | I can maybe do a UBCD memory test | 04:19 |
| digital_light | Idk. I am still new to shell | 04:19 |
| digital_light | Also i cant find a package dpkg-dev | 04:19 |
| digital_light | It is need for build-essentials | 04:19 |
| pantera | digital_light: according to man, the -r operator is for remove so don't use that! | 04:20 |
| Cousarr | Downloading UBCD now | 04:21 |
| digital_light | Wait i think i got it! | 04:22 |
| ecormier | Cousarr: if it was me, I'd try legacy boot at this point to test but I'm now officially out of ideas.... | 04:22 |
| pantera | -i, --install package-file... | 04:22 |
| pantera | Install the package. If --recursive or -R option is specified, | 04:22 |
| pantera | package-file must refer to a directory instead. | 04:22 |
| digital_light | Ok | 04:22 |
| digital_light | I got my wifi workimg | 04:22 |
| pantera | I'm not sure if that'll get you what you want though. | 04:22 |
| ecormier | pantera: good catch, I'll need to file that away somewhere | 04:23 |
| pantera | It is recursive though. | 04:23 |
| ecormier | digital_light: now do a full update! | 04:23 |
| pantera | -R recursive -r remove | 04:23 |
| digital_light | Also that gnome shell thing fixed itself... | 04:23 |
| ecormier | yay | 04:23 |
| ecormier | :) | 04:23 |
| pantera | Not confusing at all! | 04:23 |
| digital_light | I hate it when that happens as a programmer though... | 04:24 |
| digital_light | Means i cant fix it next time | 04:24 |
| pantera | But that thing has so many options I think they ran out of letters. :) | 04:24 |
| pantera | It's interesting that 26 letters can make up so many words in several languages. | 04:25 |
| pantera | Makes my brain go woah man. | 04:25 |
| Cousarr | Latest UBCD takes too long to download. Thankfully, i have one on CD | 04:25 |
| ecormier | 26 is overkill imo... overcil | 04:25 |
| pantera | Who needs a "z" anyway? | 04:26 |
| pantera | We'll just go too an oo. | 04:27 |
| Cousarr | Okay, running Memtest86+ v5.01 | 04:27 |
| ecormier | cross your finger that it DOES find a problem :) | 04:28 |
| Cousarr | It's about 8% done. From my computer repair days, typically if it's going to find a problem, it's screaming by now. | 04:29 |
| Cousarr | I'll let it finish though | 04:29 |
| Cousarr | It's also only testing core 0 to RAM. I can test the other cores if that's likely to matter | 04:30 |
| kandinski | process kidle_inject is eating all of my CPU | 04:31 |
| kandinski | is there anything I can do to fix it? I upgraded to 17.10 and the system is up-to-date | 04:32 |
| pantera | pkill! | 04:32 |
| kandinski | isn't it needed? | 04:33 |
| headrx | tr 'A-Za-z' 'N-ZA-Mn-za-m' | 04:33 |
| pantera | https://askubuntu.com/questions/482307/kidle-inject-uses-cpu-power-without-apparent-reason | 04:34 |
| headrx | can someone fill in the blanks on that.. i get how rot13 works, dont understand quite what that line of code is doing.... A-Z = N-Z , a-z = n-z | 04:34 |
| headrx | Oh.... A-z = N-Z and A-M | 04:35 |
| headrx | A-Z = N-Z and A-M | 04:35 |
| pantera | Looking for ABCD ... XYZ and abcd .. xyz | 04:35 |
| headrx | a-z = n-z and a-m | 04:35 |
| headrx | yeah i gotcha | 04:36 |
| pantera | Here is a neat one I found today. | 04:37 |
| pantera | Go to the man pages for each command and see what they do before you run it. | 04:37 |
| pantera | cat /dev/urandom | tr -dc 'a-zA-Z0-9' | fold -w 32 | head -n 1 | 04:37 |
| pantera | pWvOq5vCNtbRYuvlUiqSVVTmLIDorS8S <----------- My output | 04:38 |
| headrx | 5Te8Y4drgCRfCx8ugdwuEX8KFC6k2EUu | 04:39 |
| headrx | i was reading from a txt file | 04:39 |
| Sterist | is it possible to resume ddrescue imaging from an incomplete image that failed due to lack of space? | 04:42 |
| pantera | One day urandom is going to write a beautiful poem. | 04:42 |
| Sterist | the help page shows a couple options that seem to suggest it can be done but... could have been a little more descriptive | 04:42 |
| ecormier | Sterist: you can resume, but you need to run it with a log file | 04:43 |
| Sterist | I did do that previous run with a log command, but I don't see the log anywhere | 04:43 |
| ecormier | Sterist: what was the command you ran? | 04:44 |
| Sterist | sudo ddrescue -r 1 /dev/sdc /media/name/ntfsdrive/ps3.hdd ps3-rescue.log | 04:46 |
| ecormier | hmmm and theres no ./ps3-rescue.log? | 04:47 |
| Sterist | I'm guessing it was going to write the log next to the image after completion but didn't get to because of no free space | 04:47 |
| ecormier | no | 04:47 |
| kanun | hi all | 04:48 |
| ecormier | the backup was /media/name/ntfsdrive/ps3.hdd, the log was in whatever dir you ran the command from: | 04:48 |
| ecormier | probably home/user/ | 04:48 |
| kanun | i am new to ubuntu . my laptop drivers are supporting windows only | 04:48 |
| kanun | what to do | 04:48 |
| ecormier | kanun: drivers are all built in in linux | 04:49 |
| kernal | most of it whould work out of the box kanun | 04:49 |
| kernal | should* | 04:49 |
| kanun | after jumpiing to ubuntu i am experiencing sound distortions , there is no dolby , no amd radeon r5 drivers | 04:49 |
| Sterist | yep there it is! | 04:50 |
| ecormier | Sterist: that's where you told it to put it | 04:50 |
| kanun | ok then . but how to adjust sound effect . i feel so much noise in sound | 04:50 |
| ecormier | Sterist: if you wanted it next to the backup: sudo ddrescue -r 1 /dev/sdc /media/name/ntfsdrive/ps3.hdd /media/name/ntfsdrive/ps3-rescue.log | 04:50 |
| ecormier | Sterist: so just run the same command you did the first time and it should pick up where it left off | 04:51 |
| kernal | you can get proprietary drivers from amd for your GPU | 04:52 |
| Sterist | with amended output where the incomplete image resides, right? | 04:52 |
| ecormier | THE SAME COMMAND | 04:52 |
| ecormier | :) | 04:52 |
| Sterist | it's going to have to be in a different drive because the one I tried it with was short by 0.04% capacity | 04:52 |
| ecormier | so copy the file to the new location and update the command | 04:53 |
| Sterist | that's essentially what I just asked lol | 04:53 |
| ecormier | yep, but I was missing key information | 04:53 |
| Sterist | amended output for where the incomplete resides | 04:53 |
| ecormier | or I missed it :) | 04:53 |
| ecormier | time for bed, night folks | 04:54 |
| Sterist | but input same same, right? | 04:54 |
| ecormier | yep | 04:54 |
| ecormier | mv /media/name/ntfsdrive/ps3.hdd /newlocation && sudo ddrescue -r 1 /dev/sdc /newlocation/ps3.hdd ps3-rescue.log | 04:55 |
| segersjerry | Sterist, no, you must adjust the destination | 04:55 |
| segersjerry | nevermind | 04:55 |
| Sterist | nevermind, as in, disregard? lol there's a lot of ways to do this wrong and 1 to do it right | 04:59 |
| segersjerry | no, nevermind because ecormier fully spelled it out | 05:00 |
| Sterist | okay | 05:01 |

| neildugan | hi I have a server the is establishing a ssh vpn to 3 other computers.... 2 work find :-) ... but I can't get the 3rd one to work... the VPN devices are created and look correct .. I have check the sshd_config the 'PermitTunnel = yes' .... but a ping doesn't get though the VPN ... can anyone help? | 07:01 |
| neildugan | luxio, I found out how to turn of the terminal noise | 07:07 |
| supa | WHY wont ANYONE HELP ME | 07:07 |
| neildugan | supa, probably no one here atm know how. | 07:08 |
| beb | haha lol haha | 07:08 |
| dax | because your "problem" was caused by you doing silly things, and is thus presumably fixable by you undoing the silly things | 07:08 |
| supa | What silly thing did i do | 07:09 |
| dax | and since I apparently was not pointed enough earlier: it's incredibly obvious that you're both at the same university and that neither of your IRC clients are running on Ubuntu, i'm not a fan of tag-team silliness, and I know the email address of your network administrator | 07:09 |
| beb | no i saw him it was normal operations | 07:09 |
| dax | so how about the two of you go find something else to do before i get bored too | 07:09 |
| supa | youre very scary so i will bend to your will | 07:10 |
| supa | good day | 07:10 |

| bhoomil | that why i cant figure out what is the problem | 07:55 |

For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process. | 08:15 |

| Zythyr | Need help. I have two Ubuntu PC in the house that are running a SSH server. I want to be able to connect to it remotely using the public IP. When I use the SSH command with the public IP remotely, how will it know which Ubuntu PC I am trying to connect to? | 08:26 |
| auronandace | Zythyr: you set up port forwarding in your router | 08:28 |
| === kozy is now known as rapidshot64 | ||
| Zythyr | auronandace I can. But by default doesn't SSH run on port 22? | 08:29 |
| Zythyr | I can open port 22, but how will it know which SSH server to connect to | 08:29 |
| ducasse | you need port forwarding | 08:29 |
| Zythyr | ducasse So does this mean I have to configure each SSH server's port differently? | 08:31 |
| Zythyr | they both can't run on default 22? | 08:31 |
| ducasse | that's right. they can run on port 22 internally, but need different ports externally | 08:32 |
| Zythyr | ducasse Ahh I see, so when I remotely conenct, i specify a differnet port | 08:32 |
| ducasse | yep | 08:33 |
| ducasse | not using port 22 externally is a good idea, since a lot of bots scan for it and try to brute-force it | 08:34 |
| Zythyr | ducasse Okay good point | 08:34 |
| Zythyr | Also another question. Why do I always get this error "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.". I was trying to do "sudo apt-get upgrade". | 08:34 |
| Zythyr | I did a fresh reboot | 08:35 |
| EriC^^ | Zythyr: something must have went wrong, the apt term.log should have more info | 08:35 |
| ducasse | have you tried running that command? | 08:35 |
| user10b1 | how do i clear terminal history? | 08:35 |
| EriC^^ | user10b1: rm ~/.bash_history if you're using bash, then kill the shell with "kill $$" | 08:36 |
| Zythyr | EriC^^ Where can I find the term.log | 08:37 |
| EriC^^ | Zythyr: /var/log/apt/term.log | 08:37 |
| Zythyr | Thanks | 08:38 |
| EriC^^ | np | 08:38 |
| Zythyr | I ended up useing the command "sudo dpkg --configure -a". its doing something related to kernel and initramfs | 08:39 |
| EriC^^ | Zythyr: aha cool | 08:39 |
| EriC^^ | do you have a separate /boot ? | 08:40 |
| Zythyr | EriC^^ No. I have a sepreate partition for /home and its encrypted. I unlock the encrypt using cryptsetup luksOpen after the system is booted | 08:44 |
| EriC^^ | oh ok | 08:45 |
| Zythyr | Its stuck on update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.4.0-112-generic W: mdadm: /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf defines no arrays... | 08:46 |
| Zythyr | Does it usually take long? | 08:46 |
| EriC^^ | not so long | 08:48 |
| EriC^^ | give it a few maybe there are a lot of kernels or something | 08:49 |

| Zythyr | Question. I created a Samba share on my Ubuntu server. I want to be able to access it remotely. For this, do I also have to do a port forward? | 09:16 |
| vlt | Zythyr: Depends heavily on your setup. What does "remotely" mean in your case. | 09:18 |
| vlt | ? | 09:18 |
| Zythyr | vlt LIke I am not home so I want to use the public IP address to reach my UBuntu server and samba server | 09:19 |
| vlt | Zythyr: "Home" doesn't tell me much. Where is the server, how is it connected to the network you want to rwach it from? | 09:19 |
| vlt | *reach | 09:20 |
| redfox | ciao a tutti | 09:20 |
| Zythyr | vlt Actually sorry, i might have asked a dumb quesitno. let me read a little first | 09:20 |
| vlt | redfox: Save! | 09:20 |
| * vlt seems to have problems typing properly today :-D | 09:21 | |
| redfox | vlt you have the best settings for overclock raspberry pi 3_ | 09:21 |
| vlt | redfox: Thank you! :blush: | 09:21 |
| redfox | @vlt | 09:22 |
| vlt | Zythyr: No, it's not a dumb question. We just need more information about the network. | 09:22 |
| Zythyr | vlt Server is at home connected to interent. Current I am home, so I can just interface with the server using local IP. When I am not home, I have to connect to the server with public IP of the server, and ensure proper ports are forwarded on my router. | 09:24 |
| Zythyr | vlt But I just found out answer to my question: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/301238/how-to-access-samba-share-from-windows-which-is-running-on-different-port | 09:24 |
| vlt | Zythyr: Ok, so the server is in your home network and has a "LAN IP address" only. | 09:25 |
| Zythyr | vlt It also has a WAN IP address also | 09:25 |
| vlt | Zythyr: Then usually there's no port forwarding needed. | 09:26 |
| vlt | Zythyr: But please also read about security issues when making a samba share publicly available! | 09:26 |
| Zythyr | vlt Yep i realized the secruit concerns. | 09:27 |
| Zythyr | vlt thanks u for help :) | 09:27 |

| hateball | since flash is click-to-run these days, on some sites that doesnt work properly so you need to whitelist them beforehand. it should however work on http://get.adobe.com/se/flashplayer/about/ | 10:28 |

| gioan | what application can run .enc file ? | 10:28 |
| hateball | gioan: an extension doesnt really say much, what type of data is it supposed to be? | 10:29 |
| akik | pellefant66: also in firefox/tools/add-ons/plugins there's a drop down for the shockwave flash (ask to activate/always activate) | 10:29 |
| hateball | gioan: if you dont know you can use the command file to find out, like "file myfile.enc" | 10:29 |
| pellefant66 | akik I need to check. I thought not | 10:29 |

| gioan | .enc is encore in windows | 10:31 |
| pellefant66 | akik i have those plugins: openh264, shockwaveflash and Widewine | 10:31 |
| akik | pellefant66: so? | 10:33 |
| pellefant66 | akik I trying to find an ad-blocker | 10:33 |
| akik | pellefant66: so what was the setting for shockwave flash? | 10:34 |
| akik | pellefant66: there was a similar problem for chrome that you needed to tell chrome which sites can run flash | 10:34 |
| pellefant66 | Iakik I installed Chromium today and it works | 10:35 |
| akik | sure | 10:35 |
| pellefant66 | akik I installed Chromium today and it works | 10:35 |
| pellefant66 | akik there is a blocking list for flash | 10:36 |
| pellefant66 | akik I tried to allow all "dangerouse and offensive content" restarted firefox but no change | 10:41 |
| segersjerry | gioan, you could try rosegarden or musescore but that's just from googling open source alternatives to encore, I have no Idea if it will actually open the file. | 10:42 |
| akik | pellefant66: do you have tracking protection or adblocking add-ons? | 10:42 |
| pellefant66 | akik Where do I find those settingS | 10:43 |
| akik | pellefant66: well you know if you have installed that kinds of add-ons to your browser | 10:43 |
| akik | pellefant66: tools/add-ons/extensions | 10:44 |
| pellefant66 | akik I know that firefox needed lots of time to start. Later firefox suggested somekind of plugin to to speed up the upstart | 10:47 |
| segersjerry | gioan, I just found http://enc2ly.sourceforge.net/ which converts .enc to .ly (lillypond) which can be opened in several programs | 10:48 |
| akik | pellefant66: i'd be very careful with those. maybe you have installed a malicious plugin? | 10:48 |
| pellefant66 | akik I use a swedish version of firefox. "Tools" does not exist | 10:49 |
| akik | pellefant66: sometimes firefox itself suggests to run some startup cleaning but it doesn't involve any plugin | 10:49 |

| pellefant66 | akik the same result on adobes site. Firefox crashes when enabling the flash plugin | 11:09 |
| akik | pellefant66: this one? https://www.adobe.com/swf/software/flash/about/flashAbout_info_small.swf | 11:09 |
| akik | pellefant66: try running "sudo apt-get install --reinstall flashplugin-installer" | 11:10 |

| ppf | :( | 11:10 |
| ducasse | ppf: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/swig | 11:12 |
| ppf | ducasse: yeah, i've seen that | 11:13 |
| ppf | looks like i'm building from source | 11:13 |
| ducasse | ppf: afterwards, you will need to 'hold' the package so it doesn't get automatically upgraded | 11:14 |
| ppf | or installed, i presume? | 11:15 |
| ppf | anyways, this is a containerized context, i don't expect any upgrades | 11:15 |
| ioc__ | the version is 3.0.8-0ubuntu3 | 11:16 |
| pellefant66 | akik the install vent bizarre. it installed from a locale source instead | 11:16 |
| ppf | ioc__: not on artfule | 11:16 |
| pellefant66 | akik I try to reboot back in 5 minutes | 11:18 |
| akik | pellefant66: sudo apt-get remove --purge flashplugin-installer | 11:18 |
| akik | pellefant66: then reinstall it | 11:18 |
| pellefant66 | akai 'ok | 11:19 |

I thought at first this was a kernel issue, so I reverted to an official ubuntu build (was previously using mainline)... but it's persisting. Both the GUI freezes and TTYs. The mouse sometimes works, but sometimes freezes too. | 15:35 |
| TJ- | j03: Freezes that require a restart, or temporary where it recovers eventually? | 15:35 |
| j03 | The freezes are sometimes temporary, sometimes permenent and require a reboot -- but they're happening VERY frequtently and making the machine impossible to use. How can I debug this? I've tailed /var/log/* during a freeze and not seen anything. | 15:35 |
| j03 | ( TJ- ^) | 15:36 |
| TJ- | j03: Could be a thermal issue; first step would be to monitor temperatures and (dis)prove that | 15:36 |
| TJ- | !info lm-sensors | 15:36 |
| ubottu | lm-sensors (source: lm-sensors): utilities to read temperature/voltage/fan sensors. In component universe, is extra. Version 1:3.4.0-4 (artful), package size 82 kB, installed size 366 kB | 15:36 |
| j03 | TJ-: It could be, i'll run lm-sensors now. But I'd be surprised! | 15:36 |
| TJ- | j03: the other possibility is an ACPI issue due to firmware | 15:37 |
| TJ- | j03: has the Dell firmware been updated recently? | 15:37 |
| j03 | I've disabled ACPI in grub. | 15:37 |
| TJ- | j03: disabling ACPI is not a good thing, it's required these days. Did you disable ACPI before or after this issue started? | 15:38 |
| j03 | TJ-: Temps are fine, sitting at ~49c. I was wrong about ACPI, sorry -- it's a different flag that I've specified (acpi=force, acpi_rev_override=1). | 15:39 |
| j03 | There's one flag that I recently added (PSR for i915), but it didn't give me any problems immediately. I'll try removing that and see what happens. | 15:40 |
| j03 | TJ-: Huh! Disabling psr seems to have fixed it. No idea why it seemed to work for a short while and then suddenly started giving my grief, but regardless -- I'm happy now :). Thanks! | 15:43 |
| TJ- | j03: there's another option you might find helps, acpi_osi=. See my explanation here: http://iam.tj/prototype/enhancements/Windows-acpi_osi.html | 15:43 |
| Vadi | How can I make DNS work in recovery shell? I have an eth cable plugged in a d ping to an IP works | 15:44 |
| j03 | At some point I was running with acpi_osi="Windows 2009", I can't remember why. I'll read your page to try and get a better understanding :-) | 15:45 |
| akik | Vadi: add the nameserver information in /etc/resolv.conf | 15:45 |
| Vadi | Grep saus resoöv.conf is missing many times while it is booting | 15:46 |
| akik | Vadi: that information will be overwritten later then | 15:47 |
| Vadi | Isn't that file gone by default? | 15:47 |
| akik | Vadi: do you mean your file system is read only now? | 15:47 |
| Vadi | No, it is writable | 15:47 |
| akik | Vadi: ok so add the information to there | 15:47 |
| Vadi | What do I add? | 15:47 |
| akik | Vadi: for example: nameserver 8.8.8.8 | 15:48 |
| Vadi | Ok | 15:48 |
| akik | Vadi: this is just a temporary fix. it will be overwritten when you boot properly | 15:48 |
| zergut | hello, what is the best LAMP package ? | 15:48 |
| nacc | zergut: there is no single lamp pacakge. there is a lamp-server task. | 15:49 |
| nacc | zergut: e.g., `sudo apt-get install lamp-server^`. But 'best' is completely relative. | 15:49 |
| Vadi | Thank you kind wizard | 15:50 |
| zergut | nacc: thank you | 15:50 |

| zacknite | Update in my nightmare journey to install Ubuntu: My netbook now has no operating system and cannot turn off | 15:53 |
| zacknite | I think the issue might be that I installed 64 bit ubuntu, but was using the 32 bit efi bootloader thingy? I have no idea, but that's my only guess so I'll retry it with 32 bit Ubuntu | 15:54 |
| dserodio | What's that keyboard shortcut for showing the main keyboard shortcuts? | 15:56 |
| geirha | press and hold the super key | 15:56 |
| dserodio | thanks geirha | 15:57 |
| geirha | though I'm still on 16.04 with unity. Not sure if that applies to the gnome in newer releases | 15:58 |
| dserodio | I'm running 17.10 with Unity, that's what I was looking for | 16:02 |
| dserodio | I hope Unity keeps working for a long time, I like it much better then plain Gnome | 16:03 |
| nacc | dserodio: ... unity is already not the default (in 18.04) | 16:05 |
| nacc | dserodio: i feel like you might be a behind the news :) | 16:05 |
| ChiLLabiS | What's the default now? | 16:05 |
| dserodio | I know it's not the default and "deprecated", that's why I hope it still keeps working :) | 16:06 |
| dserodio | Gnome is the default AFAIK | 16:06 |
| nacc | ChiLLabiS: gnome in 18.04 and on | 16:06 |
| ChiLLabiS | Okay | 16:06 |
| dserodio | since 17.10 I think | 16:06 |
| nacc | dserodio: well, only will if community folks step up; note the real drop was unity8 (not unity7 which is still there) | 16:06 |
| Vadi | How can I get dpkg to skip settings up snap? It always gets stuck and I can't finish an upgrade because of it | 16:07 |
| nacc | Vadi: dpkg doesn't know what a snap is | 16:07 |
| nacc | Vadi: oh you mean 'snapd'? | 16:07 |
| Vadi | I can't remove snap either because it says dpkg was interrupted | 16:07 |
| Vadi | Yes, snapd | 16:08 |
| nacc | Vadi: you can remove it with dpkg, probably | 16:08 |
| Vadi | I can't. | 16:08 |
| nacc | Vadi: where does it get stuck, though? | 16:08 |
| Vadi | Setting it up | 16:08 |
| nacc | Vadi: provide the log, etc. | 16:09 |
| geckos | Does RDMA work on ubuntu 16.04? | 16:09 |

| Vadi_ | https://photos.app.goo.gl/qgXocZgisuYlEic53 - dpkg stuck setting up snapd | 16:12 |
| Vadi_ | I can tell apt remove snapd either - broken packages. What can I do? | 16:12 |
| Vadi_ | I can't. | 16:13 |
| nacc | Vadi: i didn't tell you to use apt | 16:13 |
| nacc | Vadi: i said to use dpkg | 16:13 |
| ohdude | o my god | 16:14 |
| nacc | Vadi: anyways, did you disable snapd or something? | 16:14 |
| Vadi_ | I did not disable snapd, but I am running a different than the usual kernel - because it's the only one that allows me to enter a password for dial encryption at boot. Snapd does not work on this kernel | 16:15 |
| ChiLLabiS | Anyone knows if amdgpu-pro and steam works on Ubuntu 18? | 16:15 |
| Vadi_ | Disk encryption. | 16:15 |
| nacc | Vadi_: then yoiu're not running 'ubuntu' | 16:15 |
| Vadi_ | Huh? | 16:16 |
| Vadi_ | It's a kernel from Ubuntu archives. | 16:16 |
| nacc | Vadi_: what kerne? | 16:16 |
| Vadi_ | A Ubuntu engineer told me to try it. | 16:16 |
| nacc | Vadi_: ok ... what kernel? | 16:17 |
| Vadi_ | 4.9.45-040945-generic | 16:17 |
| nicomachus | ChiLLabiS: Ubuntu "18" doesn't exist yet. You can ask in #ubuntu+1 | 16:20 |
| ChiLLabiS | Okay | 16:20 |
| spacevisionary | hey! would you use tar or dump to backup /home located on separate partition? thnx | 16:20 |
| nicomachus | spacevisionary: whatever you are most comfortable and familiar with. I would use tar or dejadup | 16:21 |
| spacevisionary | nicomachus: the thing is i havent done a backup yet :) | 16:21 |
| nicomachus | spacevisionary: try a couple methods, find one you're comfortable with and that you can successfully restore from, then do it regularly | 16:22 |
| ignatiz- | What's the most lightweight ubuntu desktop environment? Xubuntu? | 16:24 |
| spacevisionary | nicomachus: thanks for your answer. i understand why you say that, but i would rather like to know from technical pov | 16:24 |
| spacevisionary | nicomachus: what would you use and why? | 16:24 |
| spacevisionary | ignatiz: xubuntu is a distro | 16:24 |
| spacevisionary | ignatiz: if you want a distro then probably lubuntu | 16:24 |
| ignatiz- | spacevisionary, nah I mean desktop environment, Kfce is what I meant | 16:25 |
| ignatiz- | it's just the default on xubuntu | 16:25 |
| ignatiz- | xfce * | 16:25 |
| pavlos_ | xfce | 16:25 |
| Vadi | What can I do when apt gets stuck and ctrl+C is the killing it? | 16:25 |
| spacevisionary | ignatiz: okay, so lxqt is more lightweight, but there are others | 16:26 |
| pantera | Try it? | 16:26 |
| ecormier | spacevisionary: I would use rsync | 16:26 |
| geckos | ignatiz-: aweseme, fluxbox etc.. this tiling window manager are usually very light weigth | 16:27 |
| geckos | awesome* | 16:27 |
| spacevisionary | ecormier: may i know why? | 16:27 |
| spacevisionary | ignatiz: do you actually need a DE? | 16:27 |
| Vadi | Anyone? | 16:28 |
| nacc | Vadi: what is your question? | 16:28 |
| nacc | Vadi: sudo dpkg -P snapd | 16:28 |
| geckos | Vadi: wait | 16:28 |
| spacevisionary | ignatiz: look here https://askubuntu.com/questions/413569/whats-the-lightest-ubuntu-desktop-environment | 16:29 |
| pavlos_ | Vadi: apt should not hang ... are your repos correct? your network? | 16:29 |
| Vadi | Network is ok, repos not sure. Botched upgrade from 17.04 | 16:29 |
| nacc | pavlos_: geckos: Vadi is in a bad state | 16:29 |
| ecormier | awesome works great, but is a pain to setup | 16:29 |
| ignatiz- | spacevisionary, thanks | 16:29 |
| Vadi | I left my computer while it was upgrading, came back, it did not allow me to unlock it | 16:30 |
| spacevisionary | ignatiz: ure welcome :) | 16:30 |
| Vadi | Went to terminal - it said restart required. Restarted. Now login screen does not come up. | 16:30 |
| Vadi | Dpkg says a bunch of packages are broken, but it gets stuck trying to set them up. | 16:31 |
| nacc | Vadi: ok, as i said | 16:31 |
| nacc | Vadi: did you try to purge snapd with dpkg? | 16:31 |
| BillD73 | pardon my ignorance what was the channel list/search commnds? | 16:31 |
| nacc | Vadi: *not* with apt | 16:31 |
| nacc | !alis > BillD73 | 16:31 |

| ifc | Good afternoon guys. I am unable to switch users in ubuntu 16.04 lts, when I try to only the guest user is available to log. | 16:32 |
| BillD73 | thx nacc | 16:32 |
| nacc | Vadi: although your system seems relatively fubar if this is required | 16:32 |
| Vadi | Got rid of that too, don't use it. Now it's stuck on unattended-upgrades | 16:32 |
| nacc | Vadi: you might be better off reinstalling | 16:32 |
| Vadi | But I can't ctrl+C it | 16:32 |
| Vadi | That will be the last resort. This is a work laptop. | 16:32 |
| Vadi | I'll reboot and get rid of instruction upgrades as well. | 16:33 |
| nicomachus | Vadi: restore from a reent backup then | 16:33 |
| nicomachus | recent* | 16:33 |
| Vadi | I've backed up my files, not image. | 16:33 |
| Vadi | It's a fair bit of work and hassle to restore. | 16:33 |
| Vadi | So, I'll do it when all else fails. | 16:34 |
| ifc | How could I fix it | 16:34 |
| Euph0ria | Can someone recommend a good backup package/program? Like, what is considered the best in opinion? | 16:35 |
| pantera | Euph0ria: What are you trying to backup? | 16:36 |

| zacknite | Hello, I am trying to install Ubuntu 32 bit on my netbook (since 64 bit fails due to something about EFI) | 16:45 |
| zacknite | But on http://releases.ubuntu.com/17.10.1/ It only has the i386 iso for the server version | 16:46 |
| zacknite | Is there a desktop version of 32 bit Ubuntu? | 16:46 |
| akik | zacknite: use the 16.04 version | 16:46 |
| zacknite | akik: Ah ok, I went to that release and it's right there, thanks | 16:47 |

| zacknite | akik: Last night I tried installing from USB and it was like "GRUB can't install to /target/ so no booting bye" and now my netbook has no OS. Also, during live usb mode, it couldn't detect a network device. Could installing 32 bit Ubuntu make those things work do you think? | 16:49 |

| NoImNotNineVolt | upstream apache httpd has no such default, which is why i'm asking here | 17:37 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | (also, to be specific, i'm asking about ubuntu 11.04) | 17:37 |
| lotuspsychje | NoImNotNineVolt: 11.04 is long end of life mate | 17:38 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | lotuspsychje: which would explain why i'm trying to reproduce this server's configuration on a new box. | 17:38 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | but to do that, i'd like to understand why the old server is using /etc/apache2/passwords for auth despite none of the site configs explicitly referring to it. | 17:39 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | upsteam apache httpd doesn't do that on its own, so i'm asking if the one from ubuntu's repos deviates from upsteam in that sense. | 17:39 |
| lotuspsychje | !apache | NoImNotNineVolt can this help? | 17:40 |
| ubottu | NoImNotNineVolt can this help?: Apache HTTP Server is the most commonly used HTTP server on Linux systems. For setup information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/httpd.html . For information on setting up a "LAMP stack", see /msg ubottu !lamp. | 17:40 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | (if not, then i have no idea what's happening here, and the previous admin was a wizard) | 17:40 |
| nacc | NoImNotNineVolt: it might not be from as ite config, but from an enabled module? | 17:40 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | nacc: aha! | 17:41 |
| nacc | NoImNotNineVolt: which would imply looking at their source, or their configs, possibly | 17:41 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | i do see 5 things under mods-enabled/auth* | 17:42 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | so, i'm a developer, not an admin. i know apache basics, but i've never messed with modules. | 17:43 |
| nacc | NoImNotNineVolt: also, is it possible they are just '/etc/apache2/passwords' instead of '/etc/apache2/.htpasswd` ? | 17:43 |

| lotuspsychje | !sound | MortyTS | 17:43 |
| ubottu | MortyTS: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.

| NoImNotNineVolt | nacc: right, but i find zero instances of "passwords" in _any_ file under /etc/apache2. | 17:44 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | there are zero explicit references to that filename. | 17:45 |

| kondenzator | c'mon how to turn on eggdrop | 17:55 |
| nacc | bizhat: check the USN database for CVes | 17:55 |
| nacc | bizhat: it appears to be doing a strict version check which is incredibly short-sighted for any distribution | 17:56 |
| nacc | bizhat: security fixes are backprted, the version is not changed | 17:56 |
| nacc | (upstream version) | 17:56 |
| bizhat | macc: thanks, but i have to upgrade, i don't think there is no other way :) | 17:56 |
| nacc | bizhat: fix your scanner, idicate to them that it is wrong | 17:56 |
| nacc | bizhat: because it is wrong | 17:57 |
| nacc | bizhat: you can also point to each usn for each cve if you need to | 17:57 |
| bizhat | yes, but do they do.. | 17:57 |
| nacc | bizhat: that is to say, you coudl recompile openssh without any fixes with a differetn version and magic, you pass | 17:57 |
| nacc | that's *not* secure | 17:57 |
| bizhat | yes, i understand, i even thought if i could just edit that version string | 17:58 |
| bizhat | but.. these guys need new version | 17:58 |
| nacc | bizhat: if that's all your security team is scannigg for, they probably should not be the security team. | 17:58 |
| bizhat | not my team, it is PCI complience | 17:59 |

| nacc | bizhat: there is non way to change xenial ssh version officially, you can search for a ppa (but only supported by ppa owner, and i really don't think you want to run ssh from a ppa). | 18:00 |
| nacc | bizhat: you reallize how asinine it is to go to an unsupported software in order to pass a security compliance check, right? | 18:01 |
| bizhat | macc: here is the full report -> http://free.bizhat.com/pci.pdf | 18:01 |
| xcyclist | I'm simply trying to do a few simple sort algorithm exercises in clojure to complement those I'm doing in other languages, and I don't see a compiler for ubuntu, only the clojure interpreter. Please is this obvious, or what should I do? | 18:02 |
| bizhat | macc: yes, i understand ubuntu 16.04 version is secure and PPA can be insecure.. but we have to upgrade openssh if if we need PCI complience | 18:02 |
| nacc | bizhat: i'm not reallly that interested in solving this | 18:02 |
| nacc | bizhat: if it's doig a functionl check, then make sure you have xenial-security enabled and are up to date | 18:03 |
| nacc | bizhat: if it's doinng a version check, that's wrong, and would be wrong on all distros. | 18:03 |
| nacc | bizhat: that's the end of my support stance on this particular issue, sorry. | 18:03 |
| bizhat | macc: thanks, i understand.. i wish there is an easy way upgrade. i switched to Ubuntu, because CentOS do all back ports, still on old 2.x kernel on 6.9 | 18:04 |

| nacc | xcyclist: i'm really ont sure, i've never used clojure, just some cursory googling | 18:11 |
| xcyclist | Ok. I don't get a clj command with the apt-get install. I get a clojure command. The latter works as a top line interpretor handle, but I see no compile in the man page. | 18:13 |
| xcyclist | There are some other versions out there that I may need toinstall without the apt facility. | 18:14 |
| nacc | xcyclist: https://clojure.org/reference/compilation | 18:14 |
| nacc | xcyclist: clojure is weird :) | 18:14 |
| xcyclist | For now I'll just put up with the interpreter. If anybody knows specifically though, a way to do it from apt, I'd go for it. | 18:14 |

| AmericanBlend | will unity get preserved on my system after upgrading to 18.04 or will apt remove it? | 18:22 |
| AmericanBlend | i mean, when 18.04 gets released | 18:22 |
| lotuspsychje | AmericanBlend: 18.04 will have gnome by default | 18:23 |
| AmericanBlend | i know | 18:23 |
| AmericanBlend | but, what if i upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04 | 18:23 |
| croberts | does 17.10 still have unity or can you enable it still | 18:23 |
| AmericanBlend | will unity survive the upgrade or will apt autoremove it | 18:23 |
| lotuspsychje | AmericanBlend: there will be a transition from unity to gnome | 18:24 |
| AmericanBlend | ok so unity will get removed, ok | 18:24 |
| lotuspsychje | AmericanBlend: canonical will make users feel comfortable with the new desktop, even for unity lovers | 18:24 |
| AmericanBlend | ... | 18:24 |
| hggdh | actually unity is in universe on 18.04, so you could still use it | 18:24 |
| AmericanBlend | ah so it wont get autoremoved by apt | 18:25 |
| AmericanBlend | you're giving false informations here | 18:25 |
| AmericanBlend | it's confusing a bit | 18:25 |
| nacc | AmericanBlend: it willl probably get removed and you will transition to gnome | 18:25 |
| nacc | AmericanBlend: but you can always reinstall it | 18:25 |
| nacc | it's not yet decided yet and the 16.04 -> 18.04 upgrade path is not yet there | 18:26 |
| nacc | (won't be untill 18.04.1 anyways) | 18:26 |
| AmericanBlend | sure, i'm waiting for april with the upgrade anyway | 18:26 |
| nacc | AmericanBlend: your qwuestion is really for the ubuntu-desktop team, not the support channel | 18:26 |
| nacc | AmericanBlend: you need to wait until after april | 18:26 |
| nacc | as i just said | 18:26 |
| nacc | you need to wait until it's actually offered, if you want the smoothest experience | 18:26 |
| AmericanBlend | right | 18:26 |
| lotuspsychje | AmericanBlend: lts to lts upgrade is reccomended later on .1 as nacc suggesting | 18:26 |
| AmericanBlend | as i said at the beginning, i will upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04 | 18:27 |
| AmericanBlend | but only after the officiall release | 18:27 |
| nacc | AmericanBlend: which means you are jumpingn the gun | 18:27 |
| AmericanBlend | what does this mean? | 18:27 |
| nacc | AmericanBlend: i feel like you're missing my point. 18.04.0 != 18.04.1 | 18:27 |
| AmericanBlend | what point? | 18:28 |
| nacc | AmericanBlend: upgrades from 16.04 will onnly be offered the upgrade once 18.04.1 comes out, which is a few months llater | 18:28 |
| lotuspsychje | AmericanBlend: meaning at april alot of bugs will be sorted out still | 18:28 |
| AmericanBlend | ah ok | 18:28 |
| AmericanBlend | i just asked will unity get preserved during the upgrade process or will apt autoremove it >.> | 18:28 |
| nacc | AmericanBlend: we don't know yet | 18:29 |
| AmericanBlend | anyways, i got my answer, kind of | 18:29 |
| AmericanBlend | ok | 18:29 |
| nacc | AmericanBlend: because that path doesn't exist yet. | 18:29 |
| AmericanBlend | alright, all clear | 18:29 |
| AmericanBlend | another issue, how come my kernel isn't swapping almost at all with swappiness 100? | 18:31 |
| AmericanBlend | i got only 8GB of ram here and an ssd and i'm like the system to swap bit more | 18:31 |
| AmericanBlend | i'd like* | 18:31 |
| lotuspsychje | AmericanBlend: for ssd swappiness 10 is reccomended | 18:31 |
| gopal | TJ-: powertop is not working | 18:31 |
| AmericanBlend | swappiness 10 will cause system to rather take ram over virtual memory | 18:32 |
| akik | hggdh: will it be canonical who'll package unity into universe? | 18:32 |
| nacc | hggdh: unity is already in universe in 18.04 | 18:32 |
| nacc | akik: rather | 18:32 |
| AmericanBlend | i want the system to rather use ssd | 18:32 |
| hggdh | akik: not really. It is up to contributors | 18:32 |
| akik | nacc: that's great news | 18:32 |
| AmericanBlend | at least bit more | 18:32 |
| nacc | akik: it has been sicne 17.10 afaik | 18:32 |
| nacc | AmericanBlend: you want the system to use your ssd (decreases its life) rather than memory? | 18:33 |
| AmericanBlend | i know it decreases it's life but i've experienced oom hangs already on this machine | 18:33 |
| AmericanBlend | chrome is a ram hogger | 18:34 |

| headrx | quick question ... analyzing a scipt .. im curious as to why even if i dont run the script, if i type ' echo I am user bandit23 | md5sum | cut -d ' ' -f 1' , it spits out my md5 | 18:35 |
| lotuspsychje | AmericanBlend: chromium is lightweight in use | 18:35 |
| senaps | i have just installed ubuntu 17.10, and in virtualbox, installed ubuntu server. i can't connect to ssh using my ubuntu. is it because i have ipv6 on ubuntu 17.10, and ip4 on ubuntu server? | 18:35 |
| senaps | how can i connect ssh?(ubuntu to ubuntu server on virtual box?) | 18:36 |
| EriC^^ | headrx: what md5? | 18:36 |
| AmericanBlend | depends on networking method you chosen | 18:36 |
| AmericanBlend | senaps, ^ | 18:36 |
| headrx | https://pastebin.com/NfnZwgEQ | 18:36 |
| senaps | Nat | 18:36 |
| headrx | is the script | 18:36 |
| AmericanBlend | if it's nat you need to port forwad in vbox | 18:36 |
| nacc | AmericanBlend: swappiness shouldn't really have an impact on OOMs | 18:36 |
| senaps | how would i do that? | 18:37 |
| nacc | AmericanBlend: i mean, if it does, somethingn else is going on | 18:37 |
| headrx | EriC^^: https://pastebin.com/NfnZwgEQ is the script | 18:37 |
| EriC^^ | headrx: i'm sorry, what are you asking exactly? | 18:37 |
| gopal | any hp laptop Channel ? | 18:37 |
| AmericanBlend | nacc, it has if system saves some physical memory it wont freeze that fast since there is more physical memory available | 18:37 |
| AmericanBlend | nacc, nah, that was a oom freeze, almost fully certain | 18:37 |
| nacc | AmericanBlend: you're not solving the underlying issue | 18:37 |
| EriC^^ | headrx: the command does make an md5.. echo '...' | md5sum | cut | 18:37 |
| nacc | AmericanBlend: OOM is not a freeze | 18:37 |
| AmericanBlend | i actually monitor my system | 18:37 |
| nacc | AmericanBlend: OOM killls processes to free up memory | 18:37 |
| AmericanBlend | nacc, it can result with a freeze | 18:38 |
| nacc | headrx: i don't know what you think should happen | 18:38 |
| akik | hggdh: i kind of meant if canonical will support unity in 18.04 as it's supported in 16.04? | 18:38 |
| nacc | headrx: you asked for field 1 after using the ' ' delimiter | 18:38 |
| nacc | headrx: which is the md5 | 18:38 |
| senaps | NAT is vm using my host ip to connect right? | 18:39 |
| hggdh | akik: it is not Canonical that deals with Unity anymore. Anyone can, the package is in Universe | 18:40 |
| headrx | my question isnt why it gives the md5, its why it gives the md5 when im not actually running the script, im just typing echo ...... | 18:40 |
| hggdh | akik: but -- so far -- since it is available on Bionic, I expect it will be just like another DE | 18:41 |
| akik | hggdh: how about unity in 16.04? | 18:41 |
| lotuspsychje | akik: supported till eol | 18:41 |
| akik | that's what i'm getting at. is it supported by different groups in 16.04 vs. 18.04 ? | 18:42 |
| EriC^^ | headrx: echo | md5sum | cut , passes the line to md5sum which hashes it, then cut takes the first field and shows it, that's what those commands do | 18:42 |
| EriC^^ | headrx: the script is just those commands in a file run one after another | 18:42 |
| lotuspsychje | akik: canonical supports 16.04 long time support | 18:43 |
| lotuspsychje | akik: on 18.04 like hggdh suggests, community could manage unity perhaps | 18:44 |
| headrx | EriC^^: understood. Im not actually running anything, its a script thast saved.. then i type in the terminal echo I am bandit23 | md5sum| cut -d ' ' -f 1 | 18:44 |
| headrx | and it spits back the md5sum | 18:45 |
| gopal | features of ubuntu 18? | 18:45 |
| headrx | oh | 18:45 |
| lotuspsychje | gopal: #ubuntu+1 | 18:45 |
| EriC^^ | headrx: yup, those commands do that, if you want to experiment with it, try "echo hello | md5sum" for instance | 18:45 |
| senaps | i have the ip of the vm, but can't ping it. when i hit ping `10.0.2.15` it doesn't give any 100% packet's are lost. | 18:45 |
| EriC^^ | headrx: there's a nice bit to add about echo | md5sum, that it also hashes the newline echo sends it too, if you just want the word hashed "echo -n hello | md5sum" does that and suppresses the newline | 18:46 |

| karoom21 | Not really sure how to diagnose this on ubuntu | 18:49 |
| lotuspsychje | !dmesg | karoom21 try here | 18:50 |
| ubottu | karoom21 try here: dmesg is a console command which outputs the kernel ring buffer - an important log for diagnosing problems in Linux. Often when something errors with hardware it will result in additional lines reported which can be seen by running dmesg in a console. | 18:50 |
| lotuspsychje | karoom21: wich ubuntu version and driver/graphics card do you have? | 18:50 |
| karoom21 | I entered in !dmesg into the console and got dmesg: event not found | 18:51 |

| lotuspsychje | karoom21: nvidia and wayland are not yet working properly | 18:54 |
| lotuspsychje | karoom21: yes plz | 18:54 |
| karoom21 | where on the log in screen does it give me this option? | 18:54 |

| Vysty | Having some issues installing a tar.gz file. I've googled instructions and I when I get to the "./configure" step, the terminal spits out "No such file or directory". | 18:57 |
| Vysty | I think I'm missing something really simple. Can someone help me install this file? | 18:58 |
| __rob | my disk keeps remounting as read-only | 18:58 |
| __rob | where can I find the error that caused this | 18:58 |
| __rob | I ran a smartctl long test on /dev/sda2 | 18:58 |
| teward | Vysty: the existence of that file varies based on what you're installing. What software are you trying to install? | 18:58 |
| __rob | and it said it passed | 18:58 |
| __rob | is there anything else that could be causing my issues | 18:58 |
| teward | Vysty: (note that you should be reaching out to their support directly for help with it) | 18:58 |
| Vysty | teward: A staking wallet for a cryptocurrency. | 18:59 |
| teward | __rob: check your `dmesg` output and your syslog for any type of mouting issues or issues with your disk. | 18:59 |
| __rob | teward, thanks will take a look | 18:59 |
| teward | Vysty: yeah, that's useful. </sarcasm> I meant the actual name of the software. | 18:59 |
| teward | Vysty: my guess is you've got an autoconf.sh or something in there that you need to run that will *generate* the configure file. however, you should really be reading through a README or INSTALL documentation for such software if you're compiling by hand. | 18:59 |
| __rob | there are always corrupted inode entires when I reboot and fsck after an unmount | 18:59 |
| Euph0ria | I'm pretty new to ubuntu and I'm running xubuntu with a messed up upgrade to 17.10. I have an ISO image of 17.10.1. Is there a good user friendly utility for unbuntu for making it into a bootable USB drive? | 19:00 |
| __rob | not sure if that is an obvious sign of pending disk failure or not | 19:00 |
| sla3k | wait a minute, installing tar.gz? tar.gz is an archive and not executable. | 19:00 |
| Vysty | teward: The README and INSTALL files didn't have much useful in them. | 19:00 |
| karoom21 | Okay so at my log in screen i have no icon that lets me choose xorg or wayland | 19:00 |
| teward | Vysty: well, without further details like the software name of what's being compiled, it's impossible to give you any furhter support, try reaching out to the devs of that software directly for help? | 19:00 |
| lotuspsychje | karoom21: ok then you having that wayland bug with nvidia | 19:00 |
| teward | because we're limited from what we can do since it's not software *we* wrote or know about directly. | 19:00 |
| teward | Vysty: ^ | 19:00 |
| Vysty | teward: it's called Interstellar Holdings | 19:01 |
| karoom21 | @lotuspsychje Hmm is it fixable? | 19:01 |
| karoom21 | how do i do mentions in irc? not really familiar | 19:01 |
| lotuspsychje | karoom21: think best scenario for you is going back to 16.04 or keep using 17.10 with nouveau driver+xorg | 19:01 |
| teward | Vysty: did you download the linux .zip file or the source code? | 19:02 |
| Vysty | The file I downloaded says "Source Code (tar.gz)" | 19:02 |
| Vysty | There's also a "Source Code (zip)" | 19:02 |
| kostkon | !tab | karoom21 | 19:03 |
| ubottu | karoom21: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 19:03 |
| teward | Vysty: run the comile.sh file. | 19:03 |
| teward | compile.sh* | 19:03 |
| karoom21 | Damn are there any patches on the horizon that address this bug? | 19:03 |
| karoom21 | ubottu, thanks man | 19:03 |
| teward | Vysty: there isn't a ./configure file for that source code, it comes with its own .sh to execute the compile functionality. | 19:03 |
| lotuspsychje | karoom21: not yet, wayland is being work in progress for nvidia | 19:03 |
| teward | Vysty: as to whether you have all the dependencies or not, that's a different issue and it's up to you to install all the dependencies. | 19:03 |
| karoom21 | well i switched to the x.org driver, ill restart and try the game now | 19:04 |
| Vysty | teward: Aha, I got this figured out. Way simpler than I was making it. | 19:04 |
| teward | Vysty: FYI, read through doc/build-unix.txt in that, it gives you instructions to compile. | 19:04 |
| lotuspsychje | karoom21: allrighty, try as test | 19:04 |
| teward | Vysty: beyond that i can't really help you much, | 19:04 |
| Vysty | Thanks! | 19:04 |

| karoom21 | Well i can now see the little cog in the log in screen that gives me the session option | 19:07 |

| Ben64 | __rob: could be, or bad cable or bad controller | 19:08 |
| karoom21 | its like the game is stuck minimized | 19:08 |
| lotuspsychje | karoom21: 17.10 is non-lts if you need a more stable experience, choose an LTS version? | 19:09 |
| karoom21 | Yeah i guess thats what i should do. | 19:09 |
| karoom21 | 17.10 is just so sleek and sexy | 19:09 |
| karoom21 | will the instructions here not work? https://askubuntu.com/questions/967955/ubuntu-17-10-on-wayland-how-can-i-install-the-nvidia-drivers | 19:09 |
| lotuspsychje | karoom21: thats ubuntu on xorg, like suggested | 19:11 |
| __rob | any recommendation for something to backup my box to an ftp ? | 19:11 |
| karoom21 | so if i log in one a xorg session i could follow those instructions and it will work? or should i just downgrade to 16.04? | 19:11 |
| lotuspsychje | !backup | __rob | 19:11 |

| yuken | so one last attempt. is there anyway to use the dGPU on my hybrid AMD laptop? HD 7690M XT & Intel iGPU | 19:11 |
| yuken | Ubuntu seems to only want to use the iGPU, can't get it to touch the dGPU. | 19:12 |
| lotuspsychje | karoom21: downgrade isnt possible, clean install 16.04 if you like | 19:12 |
| lamurian_ | hi :) | 19:12 |
| karoom21 | or can i just use a xorg session and try the instructions i found? | 19:13 |
| lotuspsychje | karoom21: i presume your already in xorg, as wayland doesnt work on your card | 19:13 |
| lotuspsychje | karoom21: perhaps await the changes in 18.04? | 19:13 |
| karoom21 | well when i logged in i checked and the xorg one wasnt selected | 19:13 |
| lotuspsychje | karoom21: but selectable? | 19:14 |
| karoom21 | let me log out and check | 19:14 |

| Hail_Spacecake | hello ubuntu people | 19:18 |
| Hail_Spacecake | I'm trying to understand something going on with my system wrt localhost | 19:18 |
| Hail_Spacecake | I'm using docker, and when I run a docker swarm locally, if I try to connect to that docker service via "localhost:<some port>", the connection hangs forever | 19:18 |
| Hail_Spacecake | but if I use "127.0.0.1:<some port>" it works fine | 19:18 |
| Hail_Spacecake | and I"m not sure why those are different | 19:19 |
| karoom21 | So i was able to select and log into the xorg session | 19:19 |
| Ben64 | Hail_Spacecake: do 'ping localhost' | 19:19 |
| lotuspsychje | good karoom21 | 19:20 |
| lotuspsychje | karoom21: with nouveau driver and xorg, you might still have a decent experience | 19:21 |
| karoom21 | okay i shall try the game now | 19:21 |
| karoom21 | jesus unplayably slow | 19:22 |
| karoom21 | also for some reason my wired connection isnt working now, only wifi | 19:23 |
| Hail_Spacecake | Ben64: looks like that works | 19:23 |
| karoom21 | can i try using the nvidia drivers on xorg? | 19:24 |
| Ben64 | Hail_Spacecake: does it ping 127.0.0.1 or something else | 19:24 |
| karoom21 | or at this point do i have to just fresh install 16.04 | 19:24 |
| lotuspsychje | karoom21: you could try | 19:24 |
| karoom21 | why would switching to an xorg session cause my wired connection not to work though? | 19:25 |
| lotuspsychje | karoom21: that might be a bug, having the same on 18.04 lately | 19:27 |

| Hail_Spacecake | Ben64: it pings 127.0.0.1 | 19:32 |
| lordcirth_work | dahyun, check your config for the <Directory /var/www> entry and add: Options FollowSymLinks | 19:32 |

| donavan | thank you lordcirth | 19:37 |
| donavan | but now i need ot find out what to do with this lol i belive i found the error | 19:38 |
| donavan | would any one be anle to take a look at this error log and guide me through it ?? | 19:38 |
| teward | donavan: it woiuld help if you *shared* your log rather than ask if someone can help you | 19:38 |

| lordcirth_work | donavan, yes, if you upload /var/log/syslog to the pastebin and then give us the link, we can look at it | 19:42 |

| lordcirth_work | donavan, that's not really an error | 19:45 |
| donavan | what do you mean ?? | 19:45 |
| donavan | is that log just for this new seasion after i rebooted my pc | 19:45 |
| lordcirth_work | donavan, cron is a utility that runs things on a schedule. That just says that cron.daily ran and did one thing. | 19:45 |
| lordcirth_work | donavan, was there another message you were worried about? You can go further back by reading syslog.1 | 19:47 |

| lordcirth_work | Yes, check temperatures, by feel and/or lm_sensors | 19:53 |
| donavan | thats what i was trying to do when i got a black screen because i can some time do ctrl alt f6 then ctrl alt f7 to get back into my pc | 19:53 |

| _KaszpiR_ | nacc yes I know, but that also hold any package installs | 20:23 |
| _KaszpiR_ | and I'm explicitly interested in dist upgrades | 20:24 |
| lordcirth_work | _KaszpiR_, term.log shows what commands were run | 20:24 |
| nacc | afaik so does history.log | 20:24 |
| nacc | CommandLine | 20:25 |
| lordcirth_work | Nevermind, it seems to only show output | 20:25 |
| nacc | lordcirth_work: yes, term.log is just the output | 20:25 |
| baci | exit | 20:25 |
| lordcirth_work | Yeah, looking at history.log the CommandLine field works | 20:25 |
| _KaszpiR_ | nacc aaaah yes, thanks! Commandline: apt-get dist-upgrade | 20:25 |
| nacc | _KaszpiR_: although that misses `apt full-upgrade` | 20:25 |
| _KaszpiR_ | we don't do full upgrades | 20:26 |
| nacc | _KaszpiR_: what do you think dist-upgrade is? | 20:26 |
| nacc | they are synonyms. | 20:26 |
| nacc | in different tools | 20:26 |
| ioria | _KaszpiR_, are you on trusty ? 14.04 | 20:26 |
| _KaszpiR_ | i'm on 14.04 and 16.04 | 20:26 |
| _KaszpiR_ | thinking how to detect certain things with ansible in some sane way | 20:26 |
| nacc | _KaszpiR_: if you know exactly what you run, then why do you care? | 20:27 |
| _KaszpiR_ | was thinking about creating local fact | 20:27 |
| ioria | creating local fact | 20:27 |
| _KaszpiR_ | naccc cause we are going to present automation tools to 3rd parties and they may do upgrades on their own, and we want to warn them in certain situatlions | 20:27 |
| _KaszpiR_ | like 'your system was not upgraded in 3 months, pls die in a fire' | 20:28 |
| ioria | sweet | 20:28 |
| nacc | _KaszpiR_: that also will miss unattended-upgrades | 20:28 |
| nacc | etc. | 20:28 |
| _KaszpiR_ | we disabled that | 20:29 |
| nacc | there are better ways to determine if a system is out of date | 20:29 |
| _KaszpiR_ | such as? | 20:29 |
| pantera | I died in a fire once. Would not recommend it. | 20:29 |
| _KaszpiR_ | apt pinning? | 20:29 |
| nacc | `apt-get update` and look for what it tells you? or emulate the same | 20:29 |
| nacc | _KaszpiR_: no, not apt pinning | 20:29 |
| nacc | that has nothing to do with what you just said | 20:30 |
| _KaszpiR_ | yeah, bad idea | 20:30 |
| nacc | apt pinning is for holding packages at a specific version | 20:30 |
| _KaszpiR_ | ye | 20:30 |
| _KaszpiR_ | but still apt-cache policy can show interestig things | 20:30 |
| pantera | Like what version you have. | 20:30 |
| _KaszpiR_ | ok you said that history.log will mis apt full-upgrades | 20:31 |
| pantera | Of the software. | 20:31 |
| nacc | pantera: please don't just chime in | 20:31 |
| nacc | _KaszpiR_: right, becuase you are searching for 'apt-get dist-upgrade' | 20:31 |
| _KaszpiR_ | well, yes | 20:31 |
| nacc | _KaszpiR_: you can also run (apparently `apt list --upgradeable`) not sure if apt-get has something similar | 20:32 |
| _KaszpiR_ | but does apt updates history.log? | 20:32 |
| ioria | wondering if sudo apt update has a return status if updates needed | 20:32 |
| _KaszpiR_ | (not to mention ansible tries to invoke apptitude if available) | 20:32 |
| nacc | _KaszpiR_: it seems fragile to depend on some log file having the content you want | 20:32 |
| _KaszpiR_ | yeah :/ | 20:33 |
| akik | nacc: you can run apt-get with -s show it'll just show what it'd do | 20:33 |
| _KaszpiR_ | welcome to ubuntu ;D | 20:33 |
| akik | so it'll just show | 20:33 |
| nacc | _KaszpiR_: i think that's short-sighted and insulting a bit to ubuntu | 20:33 |
| _KaszpiR_ | that's why we switched to centos (hr hr hrrrr :D ) | 20:33 |
| nacc | _KaszpiR_: you decided to implement it this way :) | 20:33 |
| nacc | akik: yeah that's true to | 20:33 |
| _KaszpiR_ | not really, I asked how can I find when last time apt-get dist-upgrade was invoked ;D | 20:34 |
| nacc | akik: but if you olny care about if there are updates to install, simulating is still more expensive than you probably want | 20:34 |
| ioria | history.log | 20:34 |
| _KaszpiR_ | ok, to be more generic, how to detect when someone did dist-upgrade or full-upgrade | 20:34 |
| nacc | _KaszpiR_: still the same file | 20:35 |
| nacc | _KaszpiR_: my point was you seem to be searchinng for the wrong thigs | 20:35 |
| _KaszpiR_ | why so? | 20:35 |
| nacc | if you are tryingn to tell someone "hey your system is out of date", when they ran dist-upgrade is irrelevant | 20:35 |
| nacc | just see if there are packages to upgrade | 20:35 |
| _KaszpiR_ | ah this way | 20:35 |
| _KaszpiR_ | yes, you're right | 20:35 |
| nacc | because as root on your victim, i ca make your tool be dumb really easily | 20:36 |
| nacc | by always truncating history.log | 20:36 |
| nacc | just trying to save you some long-term pain | 20:36 |
| _KaszpiR_ | so my general idea is to actually use exact package versions and then when we present to3rd party updated version it will show them which core packages needs to be updated | 20:36 |
| _KaszpiR_ | that's why I was thinking about using apt-pin for certain packages, and maybe to give a note that 'its wort to pgrade after xxx days' | 20:37 |
| _KaszpiR_ | that would rather not be an issue if we had proper CI/CD setup | 20:37 |
| _KaszpiR_ | but client just wants to do certain things on their own | 20:37 |

| AmericanBlend | that's mint | 22:00 |
| ks92 | 17.10 * | 22:00 |
| kostkon | ks92, lsb_release -a | 22:01 |
| misterboring | I've been testing out ubuntu 17.10 using the the installer iso on a usb drive. I'm typing "try ubuntu" environment right now. I tried to install VLC to run a video, but when I did it said "Unable to install VLC; failed to read from snapd: Error receiving data: Connection reset by peer." | 22:01 |
| ks92 | No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID:Ubuntu Description:Ubuntu 17.10 Release:17.10 Codename:artful | 22:02 |
| kostkon | ks92, ok | 22:02 |
| leftyfb | ks92: scp -P port username@hostname:/path/to/remote/file /path/to/local/file | 22:02 |
| misterboring | then it says vlc is installed, and I can try and run it from the menu, but nothing happens when I launch it. trying to launch it from the terminal gets me: cannot create lock directory /run/snapd/lock: Permission denied | 22:02 |
| misterboring | this happens for every program I try to test. I'm worried that if I go ahead and install 17.10 onto my hard drive I won't be able to install or run anything. | 22:03 |
| yuznumara | sa | 22:03 |
| misterboring | what's going on? | 22:03 |
| ks92 | not working | 22:03 |
| badboyjer | you have to edit /etc/apt/sources.list to install updates | 22:04 |
| leftyfb | ks92: please paste everything from your termial to pastebin | 22:04 |
| badboyjer | or just run synaptic | 22:04 |
| leftyfb | misterboring: I do not think your test is an adequate determination for the same functionality with ubuntu being installed | 22:04 |
| yuznumara | guysi how can i create something like a room ? | 22:05 |
| leftyfb | yuznumara: go to #freenode | 22:05 |

| rollingubuntu | hello! anyone who could help me troubleshoot a "workspace switching" problem in Ubuntu 14.04 on 32 bits? | 22:07 |
| badboyjer | yea ubuntu 14.04 doesnt have regular updates | 22:07 |
| yuznumara | guys how can i create something like a room ? | 22:07 |
| badboyjer | you should upgrade to a newer version | 22:07 |
| leftyfb | yuznumara: go to #freenode for help with that. It has nothing to do with ubuntu | 22:07 |
| yuznumara | #freenode | 22:07 |
| yuznumara | quit | 22:08 |
| kostkon | there you go. bye | 22:08 |
| leftyfb | 1 down | 22:08 |
| kostkon | :) | 22:08 |
| leftyfb | rollingubuntu: please detail your issue | 22:08 |
| misterboring | Is it possible to save any of the changes I make when I'm using the live-usb environment? Or keep any downloaded files? | 22:11 |
| leftyfb | misterboring: not by default, no | 22:11 |
| leftyfb | misterboring: copy the downloaded files to another location/drive/network device | 22:11 |
| rollingubuntu | leftyfb: thanks!! :) some days ago I had the Automatic update popping up and I did the updates, then, few days later I realized I can not use CTRL + ALT + arrows any more to switch between workspaces; now, the only way I can stilldo this is by using the mouse and the workspace switcher icon on the launcher. Note: if I have an app running ona workspace and I click that app's icon from the launcher, the workspace will not change an | 22:11 |
| misterboring | leftyfb: alright. thanks again! | 22:12 |
| rollingubuntu | leftyfb: does this sound like a mystery? :D | 22:18 |
| leftyfb | rollingubuntu: it sounds like an incomplete post to me. I was waiting for you to finish your typing | 22:19 |
| rollingubuntu | leftyfb: right, apologies --> ... the workspace will not change and will not take me to the running app's window any more | 22:20 |
| leftyfb | rollingubuntu: I would open the "keyboard" utility, click on Shortcuts and verify and potentially set the shortcuts you prefer | 22:21 |
| rollingubuntu | leftyfb: been there, done that | 22:22 |
| leftyfb | rollingubuntu: any reason you haven't updated to 16.04? | 22:22 |
| rollingubuntu | leftyfb: yes... I am scared of updates, honestly... there could be something that does not work after one update (like this workspace switching for example) and while everything works, why bother? | 22:24 |
| badboyjer | yea i hear ya thats why im hesitating about updates | 22:24 |
| leftyfb | rollingubuntu: I used 14.04 for 2 years and never ran into your issue. I've been running 16.04 for 2 years and don't have those sorts of issues. | 22:24 |
| rollingubuntu | leftyfb: you are blessed I guess... I was telling the same to some of my friends who hesitated and eventually never went for Ubuntu because if there is anything that goes wrong, they felt they are screwed | 22:26 |
| leftyfb | yeah, cuz Microsoft does a much better job of supporing it's customers for free | 22:27 |
| wafflejo_ | heh or Google with the chromebooks, good luck getting a hold of someone there (talk to the robot they say) | 22:28 |
| rollingubuntu | leftyfb: more people are used to microsoft than ubuntu, so, there is a bigger likelyhood to run to your neighbour and ask for some tips? | 22:28 |
| badboyjer | have robots came out already | 22:28 |
| rollingubuntu | leftyfb: if any similar issue (like mine) would happen to your OS, how would you approach it? | 22:31 |
| === gracious1_ is now known as gracious1 | ||
| leftyfb | rollingubuntu: try looking for another task using the same keyboard shortcut. Try installing compizconfig-settings-manager and look through there for the similar settings and verify/change as needed | 22:33 |
| kevr | is requests-ntlm not included anywhere in ubuntu's repositories? | 22:36 |
| leftyfb | kevr: doesn't look like it | 22:37 |
| kevr | hmm. | 22:37 |
| nacc | leftyfb: sorry, was afk myself | 22:39 |
| nacc | leftyfb: i spun up a ubuntu:trusty/i386 lxd and it installed fine there | 22:40 |
| leftyfb | nacc: I did the same | 22:40 |
| nacc | leftyfb: and it didn't install there? | 22:40 |
| leftyfb | looks like libcgmanager0:i386 is my problem on these machines | 22:40 |
| leftyfb | correct | 22:40 |
| nacc | leftyfb: hrm, maybe a ppa or something? | 22:40 |
| leftyfb | doesn't look like it | 22:41 |
| leftyfb | same version from trusty backports | 22:41 |
| leftyfb | nacc: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/26538151/ | 22:42 |
| nacc | leftyfb: ah my system has backports enablled but did not install libcgmanager0 from it | 22:42 |
| nacc | leftyfb: i dont' believe backports go through the archive testing | 22:42 |
| leftyfb | none of those packages it's complaining about are installed as dependencies on the container with libcgmanager0 | 22:42 |
| nacc | leftyfb: or through install verification (that they don't break any packages in the archive) | 22:42 |
| === coXZist1 is now known as coXZist | ||
| leftyfb | it would be great if we could track down what package or whatever is holding this up | 22:44 |
| nacc | leftyfb: my lxd has https://paste.ubuntu.com/26538159/ | 22:44 |
| nacc | leftyfb: try tellinng it *not* to use the backports version | 22:44 |
| rollingubuntu | leftyfb: since the click on the launcher to a running app like Firefox or any other really does not switch to the correct work-space (it does not switch to any work-space), I doubt it is a shortcut issue (the keyboard is fully functional, other shortcuts wotk, ex open the terminal, or the home folder) | 22:46 |
| leftyfb | rollingubuntu: tried disabling and enabling multiple workspaces? | 22:47 |
| rollingubuntu | leftyfb: yes, no change though | 22:47 |
| leftyfb | nacc: I tried sudo apt -t trusty-updates install libcgmanager0:i386 and got the same issue | 22:48 |
| yuznumara | s | 22:48 |
| yuznumara | hi is there any chance to create room with password | 22:48 |
| yuznumara | ? | 22:48 |
| leftyfb | yuznumara: I told you before. Please go to #freenode. | 22:49 |
| nacc | leftyfb: i'm not sure, all i did was `lxc launch ubuntu:trusty/i386; lxc exec <container> bash` and in that shell apt-get update; apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev and it worked fine :) | 22:49 |
| leftyfb | nacc: I created a 64bit trusty ... same thing, not issues. I no it works with stock. I'm trying to track down where the issue lies with this install. It's prevalent in over 100 robots that will need this resolved :) | 22:50 |
| nacc | leftyfb: i see | 22:51 |
| imbezol | how can I adjust my mouse speed and scroll speed? the system settings section has no effect | 22:51 |
| nacc | leftyfb: as annoying as it is, the easiest is to resolve the conflicts for apt, imo | 22:51 |
| leftyfb | the odd part is the error complaining about a bunch of packages which aren't actual dependencies | 22:51 |
| leftyfb | nacc: there are no conflicts | 22:52 |
| leftyfb | nacc: none of the packages it's complaining about are installed here or on the working container | 22:52 |
| nacc | leftyfb: libcgmanager0 is installed here | 22:53 |
| nacc | leftyfb: so yeah that's reallly weird | 22:54 |
| leftyfb | nacc: to be fair, the testing should be done on a 64bit environment to take into consideration the dependencies on 32bit libraries which 64bit systems use to support 32bit applications that 32bit systems don't need | 22:54 |
| leftyfb | since installing libcgmanager0 working fine on the 64bit os, but not libcgmanager0:i386 | 22:55 |
| Gencade | hey guys - I am wanting to try out a custom gtk3 theme, but i can't find the directory that gnome-tweak tool stores themes in. Isn't it supposed to be ~/.themes ? | 23:05 |
| Gencade | or could someone give me the correct location if I am mistaken | 23:05 |
| Gencade | ubuntu 17.10 | 23:05 |
| Gencade | vanilla gnome3 | 23:05 |
| TJ- | leftyfb: the issue is installing on a multilib system as a foreign arch only? | 23:11 |
| leftyfb | TJ-: I don't follow. It's a 64bit arch. Trying to install a 32bit library to support a 32bit binary | 23:14 |
| AmericanBlend | you need multiarch | 23:14 |
| AmericanBlend | multilib/multiarch | 23:14 |
| TJ- | leftyfb: right, is the target requires multilib foreign architecture, which affects the way the packages resolve | 23:14 |
| leftyfb | TJ-: the problem is, this works fine on a fresh container, but not on an existing setup we have. I need to track down what the difference is | 23:15 |
| TJ- | leftyfb: Trusty still had some issues with separating out the i386/amd64 dependencies so I'd guess this may be one of them. You'll need to enable apt's debugging of the package resolver to pinpoint it | 23:16 |
| grapez | hello | 23:16 |
| leftyfb | TJ-: how do I do that? | 23:16 |
| TJ- | leftyfb: try "apt-get -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=true install ..." | 23:18 |
| TJ- | leftyfb: see the Debug section of "man apt.conf" for other possible Debug names | 23:18 |
| TJ- | leftyfb: "Debug::pkgDepCache::Marker=True" might be useful too | 23:19 |
| leftyfb | HA! | 23:20 |
| leftyfb | got it working | 23:20 |
| leftyfb | I actually just forced it to install from backports | 23:20 |
| TJ- | leftyfb: I'll bet it's related to "libgl1-mesa-dev" (-dev package) which will draw in 'build' relationships | 23:20 |
| TJ- | leftyfb: one of the major challenges of the multiarch transition was separating the -dev packages into arch-specific versions where structures used different sized elements | 23:21 |
| leftyfb | TJ-: it was related to that actually | 23:22 |
| leftyfb | TJ-: even though on the container test environment that package isn't neccesary | 23:22 |
| TJ- | leftyfb: not surprised :) | 23:23 |
| leftyfb | TJ-: actually, it was libgl1-mesa-glx | 23:23 |
| leftyfb | https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/26538151/ | 23:24 |
| leftyfb | i'm out for the night now though. Thanks for the assist nacc and TJ- | 23:25 |
| nacc | leftyfb: yw | 23:25 |
| lwizardl | I would like to convert a ubuntu install into a virtual machine. it was installed to an 200gb hdd but only is using around 10gb of space. Is there a way to create an image without the extra blank space? | 23:39 |
| AmericanBlend | rsync | 23:39 |
| AmericanBlend | then manually adjust configs and install a bootloader | 23:39 |
| TJ- | lwizardl: Depending on the file-system you can shrink it down to a minimal size, reduce the enclosing partition to match, and only copy the reduced image | 23:40 |
| AmericanBlend | create a self-expandable volume for the vm 9if your vm supports it that is), run another virtual system with that volume connected, format it, rsync the data or scp it, adjust the configs, install a bootloader, done | 23:41 |
| lwizardl | TJ-, I think it was ext3 partition | 23:41 |
| TJ- | lwizardl: ext is good; has the resize2fs tool for the job | 23:41 |
| TJ- | lwizardl: will you creating the VM image via a LiveISO boot, or another booted Ubuntu OS - as opposed to wanting to do this from the OS that needs shrinking? | 23:43 |
| lwizardl | TJ-, another booted system, I have pulled the drive from the other system | 23:44 |
| TJ- | lwizardl: can you show us the partition table of the target HDD so I can give you an idea of what would be required? | 23:45 |
| lwizardl | let me connect the drive, have to find a spare sata cable | 23:48 |
| respawn1 | hello. I used ubuntu 17.10 a few months ago and had some issues with DNS leaking during VPN connections. I would like to use Ubuntu again as my daily driver. Does anyone know if this issue has been resolved? | 23:52 |
| hggdh | respawn1: do you have a bug number? | 23:54 |
| respawn1 | hggdh: no, at the time I need a secure connection quickly so I never followed up with the correct procedure, I am just wondering generally if someone uses VPNs on ubuntu and is experiencing any DNS leaks | 23:55 |
| TJ- | respawn1: what kind of DNS leak? the host's public ISP DNS server being used instead of DNS on the VPN? Or DNS requests routing over the public connection rather than the VPN connection? | 23:57 |
