| harovali | hi, I'm trying to recompile the kernel in ubuntu 16.04 LTS. I'm trying to have the default .config file of the running kernel, so that I just modify my stuff and the rest keeps as usual. I did the apt-get source linux-image-.... , but inside the created subdirectory there is no .config. Do I have to look into the .diff file that's also downloaded ? Or elswhere ? Any hint is appreciated | 00:03 |
| akik | harovali: you can copy it from /boot | 00:04 |
| harovali | akik: thanks | 00:04 |
| lwizardl | TJ-, looks lie sdb1=ext2, sdb2=exteneded, sdb5=lvm2 pv | 00:08 |
| TJ- | lwizardl: if your OS is installed in sdb5, which is LVM, that makes shrinking and moving it quite straightforward | 00:09 |

| ChileStuff | Greetings denizens | 01:20 |
| ChileStuff | I could use some help installing a game if anyone is available | 01:21 |
| AmericanBlend | well ask your question | 01:23 |
| ChileStuff | Howdy | 01:23 |
| AmericanBlend | howdy | 01:23 |
| AmericanBlend | don't ask to ask pls | 01:24 |
| ChileStuff | Well I can use the sofware mgr fine, but hos do you install using a downloaded .sh file? | 01:24 |
| ChileStuff | Sorry AB, but you guys are sometimes slow to reply | 01:25 |
| ChileStuff | :P | 01:25 |
| AmericanBlend | ChileStuff, normally, you chmod +x the file and then run it | 01:25 |
| AmericanBlend | but double check what you're installing since there is no way to tell is it malware or not | 01:26 |
| ChileStuff | Oh it's not ... DLd game from gog | 01:26 |
| AmericanBlend | alright | 01:26 |
| AmericanBlend | then open a terminal, and then chmod +x the file | 01:27 |
| AmericanBlend | tehn run it, that's it | 01:27 |
| AmericanBlend | if it's properly made it will install in your user directory rather than system-wide | 01:27 |
| AmericanBlend | if it's not it might need root privileges, i'd rather not recommend giving it su privileges | 01:28 |
| ChileStuff | I've only been using linux for a month, and I know the paths are different than windows, so where do I point? | 01:28 |
| kenrin | point? | 01:28 |
| ChileStuff | Sorry, I don't know the syntax yet ... | 01:28 |
| ChileStuff | I have the file in my downloads folder | 01:29 |
| kenrin | You mean like where it installs to or something? | 01:29 |
| kenrin | The script would have that information | 01:30 |
| ChileStuff | Do I just chmod +x <filename>? | 01:30 |
| kenrin | yeah | 01:30 |
| ChileStuff | Ok thanks | 01:30 |
| kenrin | inside your downloads folder | 01:30 |
| AmericanBlend | ChileStuff, you should read about unix filesystems hierarchy basics | 01:30 |
| ChileStuff | Yes I should, but haven't gotten there yet | 01:30 |
| ChileStuff | AmericanBlend: Is your name Mrs Kipper? | 01:31 |
| AmericanBlend | no? | 01:31 |
| ChileStuff | Sorry, you sound a bit like my old english teacher :D | 01:31 |
| AmericanBlend | coincidence | 01:32 |
| LinuxNoob924 | Is this the correct channel to ask basic Linux question? I installed a program and I want to run it. I don't think I installed it right | 01:40 |
| Barrett | if relates ubuntu I guess so | 01:40 |
| LinuxNoob924 | I hav Lubuntu, should I go to that channel instead? | 01:41 |
| LinuxNoob924 | Trying to install Trojita | 01:42 |
| Barrett | the rule generally is just ask, don't ask to ask :) | 01:42 |
| LinuxNoob924 | How can I tell if I install correctly? | 01:43 |
| LinuxNoob924 | Currently is giving me "bash: ./trojita: No such file or directory" if I do ./Trojita | 01:44 |
| LinuxNoob924 | I follow instruction on https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home:jkt-gentoo:trojita&package=trojita | 01:44 |
| Barrett | you have to read the output of the commands you put in terminal | 01:45 |
| Barrett | never do stuff blind | 01:45 |
| Barrett | understand what you are doing | 01:45 |
| Barrett | following the instructions there if "apt-get install trojita" don't say the package is already installed I guess something gone wrong in the process | 01:46 |
| jiffe | so looking through the ubuntu repositories the latest version of gcc I see is 5.5, I'm curious why that is | 01:48 |
| LinuxNoob924 | E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) | 01:48 |
| LinuxNoob924 | E: Unable to lock directory /var/cache/apt/archives/ | 01:48 |
| jiffe | they just released 7.3 | 01:48 |
| Barrett | jiffe, projects don't jump to the latest gcc | 01:49 |
| AmericanBlend | jiffe, because ubuntu is not a rolling release distribution | 01:49 |
| Barrett | there are various reasons such as testing, features | 01:49 |
| Barrett | possible ABI breakage | 01:49 |
| Barrett | LinuxNoob924, it seems you have already an apt opened | 01:50 |
| Barrett | synaptic, software center? | 01:50 |
| Barrett | I don't use ubuntu BTW | 01:50 |
| LinuxNoob924 | what is an apt? | 01:50 |
| Barrett | but there's some package manager opened | 01:51 |
| AmericanBlend | LinuxNoob924, check have you got software center upon, if it is open, close it, if it's not, remove /var/cache/apt/archives/lock and run apt again | 01:51 |
| AmericanBlend | /var/cache/apt/archives/lock is a file apt checks for to make sure there are no more than one instance of apt running at one time | 01:52 |
| AmericanBlend | running two apt instances at one time could lead to breaking your ystem | 01:52 |
| Barrett | just obsolete technology lol | 01:53 |
| LinuxNoob924 | thank you Barrett and AmericanBlend | 01:53 |
| quidnunc | I'm trying to send email with attachment from the command line. I have a msmtp configuration and am trying to send the mail using mutt, but I don't know how to tell mutt to use a specific profile via the command line | 02:00 |
| quidnunc | I know I can hard-code it into .muttrc but is there a way to do it via a flag or env var? | 02:00 |
| LinuxNoob924 | Got it working. How can I create a shortcut to a program that I am launching from terminal? | 02:01 |
| AmericanBlend | ,aybe an alias in bashrc? | 02:01 |
| AmericanBlend | maybe* | 02:01 |
| Barrett | AmericanBlend, like a shortcut in the desktop? | 02:02 |
| Barrett | sorry bad nick | 02:02 |
| Barrett | I meant LinuxNoob924 | 02:02 |
| AmericanBlend | if you want an icon to that program you need to use your desktop environment functionality | 02:02 |
| Barrett | or simply a symbolic link | 02:03 |
| Barrett | that'd be more effective | 02:03 |
| AmericanBlend | but uglier | 02:03 |
| LinuxNoob924 | this is so much different from window enviroment haha, have to learn everything from basic | 02:03 |
| ChileStuff | kenrin: You still here? | 02:03 |
| Barrett | uglier? transparent and easy as pressing enter | 02:04 |
| kenrin | I'm always here, just don't always respond ;P | 02:04 |
| ChileStuff | I obviously misunderstood earlier. How do I run frominside the folder? | 02:04 |
| ChileStuff | I open terminal but can't seem to get to the folder | 02:05 |
| kenrin | You right click the folder and > open in terminal. or you cd /home/chilestuff/Downloads/; chmod +x blah.sh | 02:05 |
| kenrin | Well, sudo chmod that is | 02:05 |
| Barrett | why sudo chmod, that's an user directory. | 02:06 |
| kenrin | Just giving the best cmd that works, could have an ACL, could have wget'd as root, I don't know his system | 02:07 |
| Barrett | he should learn to don't do that then :) | 02:08 |
| kenrin | I got a bunch of isos sitting in my downloads that I can't chmod, owned by kvm | 02:09 |
| ChileStuff | hmm | 02:09 |
| Barrett | kenrin, I meant wgetting as root | 02:10 |
| ChileStuff | When I search for "other apps" I find "run software" and "Software install", but no terminal | 02:10 |
| Barrett | ChileStuff, right click in the folder, in the menu there should be "open in terminal" | 02:11 |
| kenrin | What barrett said | 02:11 |
| ChileStuff | Oh, I was right clicking the fileitself | 02:11 |
| ChileStuff | Ok nothing happened | 02:15 |
| ChileStuff | I did chmod +x <filename>.sh | 02:15 |
| Barrett | ChileStuff, what's <filename>? | 02:15 |
| kenrin | Some script for a game he wants to install | 02:16 |
| Barrett | I hope he didn't put <filename> literally | 02:16 |
| kenrin | Nah | 02:16 |
| ChileStuff | gog_baldur_s_gate_enhanced_edition_2.5.0.9.sh | 02:16 |
| kenrin | If you want to run it, do ./<filename>.sh | 02:16 |
| ChileStuff | lol Barrett | 02:17 |
| Barrett | ChileStuff, +x is just the execution permission | 02:17 |
| Barrett | so do as kenrin said | 02:17 |
| ChileStuff | Did: chmod +x ./gog_baldur_s_gate_enhanced_edition_2.5.0.9.sh | 02:19 |
| ChileStuff | Still nuthin | 02:19 |
| lamduh | What do people use to password protect files? | 02:20 |
| ChileStuff | 12345? | 02:20 |
| ChileStuff | Sorry | 02:20 |
| Barrett | ChileStuff, run the script | 02:21 |
| dommer | Hello I have an Apple Magic keyboard that I am trying to connect to my ubuntu 17.10 laptop. It doesn't want ot pair. What do I do? | 02:21 |
| Barrett | ChileStuff, ./gog_baldur_s_gate_enhanced_edition_2.5.0.9.sh | 02:21 |
| Barrett | put this | 02:21 |
| Barrett | lamduh, keepasswordkeeper | 02:21 |
| ChileStuff | No chmod? | 02:22 |
| Barrett | ChileStuff, you already chmod the file right? | 02:22 |
| Barrett | you set +x (execute) permission | 02:22 |
| kenrin | chmod changes permissions, it just gives it execute so it can run the script | 02:22 |
| Barrett | now you have to actually execute the script | 02:22 |
| lamduh | Barrett, thanks.. was only finding encfs and cryptkeeper but apparently they have vulns | 02:22 |
| ChileStuff | There it went | 02:22 |
| ChileStuff | Oh so I run chmod +x, the next line run script? | 02:24 |
| kenrin | Yes ./file.sh runs it | 02:25 |
| ChileStuff | Thanks | 02:26 |
| harovali1 | after recompiling the kernel (got thru apt-get source kernel-image-$(uname -r) ; i'm getting this https://paste.ubuntu.com/26538930/ | 02:29 |
| harovali1 | any hint is welcome! | 02:30 |
| harovali1 | make kernel-headers fails , and I don't know why and what to do | 02:30 |
| dommer | Still need help with an Apple Magic Keyboard not pairing | 02:31 |
| kenrin | this might be relevant harovali1: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2373905 | 02:32 |
| kenrin | REPORTING-BUGS might just need to be created first | 02:33 |
| harovali1 | kenrin: thank you ! | 02:33 |
| harovali1 | kenrin: it IS compiling : ) | 02:34 |
| kenrin | You'd think they'd make a script which would create it if not existed =/ | 02:35 |
| harovali1 | kenrin: yes | 02:36 |
| ChileStuff | Well that was a waste of time | 02:36 |
| ChileStuff | Seemed to install ok, but won't run | 02:36 |
| harovali1 | kenrin: maybe it's not that often that one recompiles the kernel | 02:36 |
| harovali1 | kenrin: it's been a while since my last time, and it's the first one following a distro's steps to do | 02:37 |
| harovali1 | kenrin: it's pretty much the same I guess | 02:37 |
| kenrin | I've only done it for practice before. Everything usually needed is stuck as modules | 02:37 |
| harovali1 | kenrin: yes; this time , I'm puttin all my hopes for a usb problem to workaround, by having changed '=y' by '=m' in ehci-hcd and xhci-hcd settings ; I have a printer that lsusb detects in an older machine but same ubuntu version , it *might* be a hardware issue, but in older hardware works | 02:40 |
| harovali1 | I'll blacklist the modules to see if it works as uhci | 02:40 |
| harovali1 | usb 1.0 | 02:40 |
| harovali1 | i guess | 02:40 |
| harovali1 | i don't care much as long as the damm printer gets detected | 02:41 |
| kenrin | I'd just buy a new network printer O.o | 02:41 |
| kenrin | HP is the only one that seems to have decent linux drivers | 02:42 |
| harovali1 | kenrin: the printer might be new and still not work | 02:42 |
| harovali1 | kenrin: yeah | 02:42 |
| harovali1 | kenrin: it *did* work however, and it still does in older hardware, so the printer is half the issue , not 100% the issue | 02:43 |
| kenrin | Cool | 02:43 |
| harovali1 | kenrin: it got me mad | 02:43 |
| harovali1 | kenrin: even a decent driver wouldn't work, as long as the kernel does not handle the usb thing | 02:44 |
| harovali1 | kenrin: otoh , the kernel ain't no culprit, usb standars suck as hell | 02:45 |
| kenrin | go tcp/ip | 02:45 |
| Barrett | harovali1, did you try to debug what actually happens? | 02:45 |
| harovali1 | kenrin: sure, if I could I'd do | 02:45 |
| harovali1 | Barrett: not really , although peeked over some similar problem's patch in lkml sent a while ago | 02:46 |
| harovali1 | Barrett: I'd welcome any suggestion | 02:46 |
| Barrett | maybe looking at syslog | 02:47 |
| Barrett | can give some hint | 02:47 |
| harovali1 | Barrett: oh yes, the logs. I've seen all the errors | 02:47 |
| harovali1 | Barrett: I got mad at them | 02:47 |
| harovali1 | wanna see ? | 02:47 |
| Barrett | I can give a look | 02:47 |
| kenrin | Are they all in spanish? | 02:47 |
| harovali1 | sure, gimme a second | 02:47 |
| harovali1 | kenrin: not the logs | 02:48 |
| harovali1 | i hope | 02:48 |
| Barrett | lol | 02:48 |
| Barrett | I can read some spanish | 02:48 |
| Barrett | but they will be in english :) | 02:48 |
| kenrin | Sure you can read it, understanding is different O.o | 02:48 |
| Barrett | kenrin, nah my native language is very similar | 02:49 |
| harovali1 | check this out , this is the old hardware , the working one, dmesg output , https://paste.ubuntu.com/26538976/ | 02:49 |
| === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash | ||
| harovali1 | this is the same printer cable in tha not working hardware: https://paste.ubuntu.com/26538986/ | 02:51 |
| harovali1 | noapic and nolapic made no difference | 02:51 |
| harovali1 | newest kernel in even newer hardware, made no difference either | 02:52 |
| kenrin | changing bios options doesn't help ? | 02:53 |
| harovali1 | see how the workin version "backtracks" to uhcd from ehcd ? | 02:53 |
| harovali1 | kenrin: nope | 02:53 |
| harovali1 | kenrin: nothing changes | 02:53 |
| Barrett | lsusb doesn't see it? | 02:53 |
| harovali1 | Barrett: nope, not even for a little timeslice. | 02:53 |
| harovali1 | it gets lsusb listed in the older hardware, that's how I kno it works | 02:54 |
| === dommer is now known as Aremis117 | ||
| Barrett | harovali1, which printer is it? | 02:55 |
| kenrin | datamax e-4304 | 02:56 |
| harovali1 | 0b0b:106e Datamax-O'Neil Datamax E-4304 | 02:57 |
| harovali1 | yes | 02:57 |
| harovali1 | a laser label printer | 02:57 |
| Barrett | it's very strange lsusb don't see it | 02:57 |
| harovali1 | Barrett: really strange | 02:57 |
| Barrett | in such a situation if I were in you, to avoid any possible conf breakage or so | 02:58 |
| harovali1 | Barrett: anywayI wouldn't hope lsusb listed it if dmesg says 'unable to enumerate USB device' | 02:58 |
| Barrett | I'd load a live usb | 02:58 |
| Barrett | and try from there | 02:58 |
| Barrett | using the same usb version | 02:58 |
| harovali1 | Barrett: tried with knoppix , same thing | 02:58 |
| Barrett | a vanilla one | 02:58 |
| harovali1 | Barrett: only difference made by older hardware | 02:59 |
| Barrett | there's nothing I can think of, sorry | 03:03 |
| Barrett | if system-printer-config don't see it you may have it a bug | 03:03 |
| Barrett | *hit | 03:03 |
| Barrett | maybe open a bug report @cups? | 03:05 |
| Barrett | however I need to sleep, bye | 03:06 |
| harovali1 | Barret , thank you any way ! , Do you think I'd file a cups bug even if lsusb doesn't see it ? (i've known of printers that worked without getting listed in lsusb) | 03:09 |

| ClydeSlims2 | As soon as I installed fail2ban, I can't access my web server from the browser. If I stop the fail2ban service, it works. I followed this guide: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-password-authentication-with-nginx-on-ubuntu-14-04 | 03:31 |
| NoDuS | wtf? | 03:31 |
| ClydeSlims2 | NoDuS, what? | 03:31 |
| NoDuS | what can i do here? | 03:31 |
| hggdh | NoDuS: this is a support channel for Ubuntu, not a general chat channel | 03:32 |
| NoDuS | okay man | 03:32 |
| NoDuS | which is the best OS of Ubuntu? | 03:32 |
| hggdh | NoDuS: taken literally, the *single* OS of Ubuntu is Linux. | 03:33 |
| ClydeSlims2 | Like, I can still ping my server but I can't access the web pages. | 03:33 |
| ClydeSlims2 | when that service is on. | 03:33 |
| Bashing-om | !best | NoDuS | 03:33 |
| NoDuS | !best | 03:33 |
| hggdh | ClydeSlims2: fail2ban will log what it is finding (by default, INFO level). You can look at the logs to find out what is going on | 03:34 |
| hggdh | ClydeSlims2: alternatively, you can raise the log level to gather more information | 03:35 |
| NoDuS | do u know some chanel for talk? | 03:35 |
| NoDuS | hacker xD | 03:35 |
| hggdh | NoDuS: I do not know of a hacker channel (nor am, in general, interested) | 03:36 |
| ClydeSlims2 | hggdh, it must have been because I tried logging in too many times? I mean I thought it was supposed to return an error if I do that | 03:36 |
| ClydeSlims2 | is that normal for fail2ban? Like to just not even respond with anything? | 03:36 |
| ClydeSlims2 | if I try too many attempts that is. What's the normal behaviour supposed to be? | 03:37 |
| NoDuS | someone speak spanish? | 03:37 |
| hggdh | ClydeSlims2: usually fail2ban will issue a DROP command if you over-try something it is monitoring | 03:37 |
| ClydeSlims2 | hggdh, so DROP as in drop the socket connection to the server? | 03:37 |
| hggdh | ClydeSlims2: so you could, for example, look at what DROPs are currently set in iptables | 03:37 |
| hggdh | ClydeSlims2: to drop the received offending packet | 03:38 |
| ClydeSlims2 | hggdh, ah okay. Thank you | 03:38 |
| ClydeSlims2 | NoDuS, also since no one answered, 16.04 is the preferred Ubuntu version I'd say currently. | 03:38 |
| hggdh | NoDuS: this channel is exclusively English. You can use alis to find spanish-speaking channels | 03:39 |
| hggdh | NoDuS: use /msg alis help for details | 03:39 |
| hggdh | ClydeSlims2: also fail2ban is not meant to return an error, but to block access :-) | 03:46 |
| ClydeSlims2 | hggdh, makes sense lol, thanks | 03:47 |
| hggdh | yw | 03:47 |

| rajivmars | hi all. when i change my mirror the following error stops it https://paste.ubuntu.com/26539301/. anyone please clarify it to me. | 04:50 |
| lotuspsychje | rajivmars: perhaps because its not https? | 04:53 |
| lotuspsychje | rajivmars: try the #ubuntu-mirrors channel, they might know this | 04:53 |
| Jordan_U | rajivmars: My guess would be that the mirror is being updated, and the signature doesn't match the data. | 04:53 |
| rajivmars | ok. thanks | 04:53 |
| rajivmars | Jordan_U, have you any idea what to do? | 04:54 |
| lotuspsychje | rajivmars: can you tell us your end goal on this? | 04:55 |
| lotuspsychje | rajivmars: what was you trying to do? | 04:55 |
| rajivmars | i was trying to change the mirror for updating. | 04:55 |
| Jordan_U | rajivmars: If my guess is right, then all you can do is wait for the mirror to finish updating. You may also decide to switch to a mirror that updates faster or more atomically. I may also be completely wrong :) | 04:55 |
| senortout | ho ho, I am brand new to this | 04:59 |
| rajivmars | is it possible that if the previous mirror has already cached some data then it it is not possible to change mirror due to conflicting issues? | 04:59 |
| rajivmars | Jordan_U? | 05:00 |
| Jordan_U | rajivmars: I would not expect it to work that way. I expect that everyone using this mirror is having the same problem as you. (Again though, I may be completely wrong about the cause) | 05:02 |

| B14CK-SPID3R | hello guys. i've installed apache and run it on port 80 as default. when i try nc -zv localhost 80 , it returns tcp/http success. but when somebody try to connect me from outside of network, it doesn't work ! i checked ufw and disable it but nothing changed! also when i change port 80 to 7777 and do ip-forwarding in my router page, apache works for others and they can access it successfully. | 09:16 |
| B14CK-SPID3R | so what's cause of this problem ? | 09:17 |
| jink | B14CK-SPID3R: Outside of network is on the other side of the router, you mean? You run apache locally on some internal IP? | 09:18 |
| ducasse | B14CK-SPID3R: you need port forwarding for port 80 as well if you need it for any other port | 09:20 |
| B14CK-SPID3R | jink: yup. he's on the other side of router. i run apache by default config. when i try by my public ip it works. but when i try it by canyouseeme.com it shows that my port is close! | 09:20 |
| B14CK-SPID3R | ducasse: i try it before. i forward port 80 WAN to 192.168.1.3:80. but doesn't work | 09:21 |
| jink | B14CK-SPID3R: Get a decent router? Port forwarding is your only option, really. | 09:21 |
| jink | B14CK-SPID3R: And if you want to be a regular http site, you'll need to use 80 (and 443) on the outside. Doesn't matter which port you use on the inside, since you're forwarding. | 09:22 |
| B14CK-SPID3R | i configure it on pppoe. forward WAN:7777 to 192.168.1.3:7777 and change the apache default config to work with port 7777. it works for me and canyouseeme shows success! | 09:23 |
| B14CK-SPID3R | but when i try this way by port 80, it doesn't work ! | 09:23 |
| B14CK-SPID3R | also i have this problem with port 22 ! | 09:25 |
| jink | B14CK-SPID3R: Your router eats up certain ports because your ISP doesn't want you to host stuff at home. | 09:27 |
| B14CK-SPID3R | jink: it means that i have to change default port to some unknown ports? | 09:36 |
| ducasse | B14CK-SPID3R: it means the standard ports are blocked, yes | 09:38 |
| mrx | hlw | 09:39 |
| ducasse | B14CK-SPID3R: it is quite common for isps to do this many places | 09:39 |
| B14CK-SPID3R | ducasse: Thank you guys for you helping :X | 09:40 |
| luxio | My .bash_profile isn't executing when I log on | 09:41 |
| luxio | why might it not execute? | 09:43 |
| jink | B14CK-SPID3R: https://www.vultr.com/pricing/ | 09:44 |
| jink | luxio: You're not using bash? The shell isn't interactive? The file isn't readable? | 09:45 |
| luxio | jink: I'm pretty sure I'm using bash, since my .bash_aliases is working. The shell is interactive, and I can `cat ~/.bash_profile`. | 09:47 |
| jink | echo $0 | 09:47 |
| luxio | echo $0 | 09:48 |
| luxio | bash | 09:48 |
| jink | There you go. :D | 09:48 |
| luxio | ? | 09:48 |
| jink | Well, you're using bash. | 09:48 |
| luxio | yeah | 09:48 |
| luxio | but .bash_profile isn't loaded | 09:48 |
| luxio | also when I press tab I get this: https://pastebin.com/Q4d6MJU8 | 09:49 |
| jink | Try bash -v ? | 09:49 |
| jink | bash-completion making a mess? | 09:49 |
| luxio | https://pastebin.com/fRVa2R4f | 09:49 |
| luxio | jink: | 09:49 |
| geirha | luxio: .profile will be loaded, but not .bash_profile. I suggest you just use .profile | 09:49 |
| luxio | what why? it was working perfectly fine before | 09:50 |
| geirha | before? | 09:50 |
| luxio | yeah like an hour ago | 09:51 |
| luxio | now my terminal is all weird | 09:51 |
| geirha | ... well it depends on how you log in | 09:51 |
| jink | luxio: What changed? :D | 09:51 |
| luxio | I have no clue | 09:51 |
| luxio | xorg/wayland wouldn't make a difference right? | 09:51 |
| jink | It shouldn't, afaik. | 09:52 |
| luxio | what really confuses me is why I get that when I press tab | 09:52 |
| geirha | when you log in graphically, the DM (lightdm by default) will source ~/.profile specifically, before running your session. It will not source ~/.bash_profile | 09:52 |
| jink | Because it's not bash. That makes sense. When you use bash, it'll use .bash_profile. | 09:53 |
| geirha | indeed, if you log in at the virtual console, or via ssh, .bash_profile will be sourced if it exists, and if your login shell is bash | 09:53 |
| luxio | I am running bash though | 09:53 |
| jink | We established that. | 09:53 |
| luxio | <jink> Well, you're using bash. | 09:53 |
| geirha | so to have the same file for all three of those cases, use .profile instead of .bash_profile, and make sure .profile only contain sh-compatible syntax | 09:54 |
| luxio | alright but it was sourcing .bash_profile like an hour ago before I rebooted | 09:54 |
| jink | luxio: Can you temporarily disable the bash completion stuff on lines 189-195 from your paste? | 09:54 |
| geirha | luxio: how do you know it did that? | 09:55 |
| luxio | geirha: because it set my PATH | 09:55 |
| luxio | now my PATH isn't the same | 09:55 |
| luxio | https://pastebin.com/DH1EeTzL | 09:55 |
| luxio | that's what my .bash_profile is | 09:55 |
| luxio | and here's what I get when I `echo $PATH`: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin | 09:56 |
| geirha | perhaps you also have a .profile which contained the same PATH change? | 09:56 |
| luxio | why would it be loading .profile now instead of .bash_profile though? why the sudden switch? | 09:56 |
| geirha | anyway, put those lines in ~/.profile and remove ~/.bash_profile. Should work fine after that | 09:56 |
| geirha | luxio: like I said, it always loads .profile on *graphical* login | 09:57 |
| luxio | Yes, and I've done graphical logins in the past. I always do graphical logins. Including my most recent login. | 09:57 |
| luxio | I click my username and type in my password. | 09:58 |
| geirha | perhaps your .profile also sources .bash_profile? | 09:58 |
| geirha | or perhaps your terminal emulator was configured to run login shells, giving you the illusion bash_profile was read on login | 09:59 |
| luxio | I'm using the default gnome terminal emulator | 09:59 |
| luxio | and if you're saying it sources .profile and that sources .bash_profile, then my PATH should be different | 09:59 |
| geirha | I'm not saying that, I'm asking if that's the case. I don't see how else .bash_profile would be loaded | 10:00 |
| jink | luxio: Can you temporarily disable the bash completion stuff on lines 189-195 from your paste? | 10:03 |
| luxio | I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but I rebooted and chose Wayland as my DM and now everything's back to normal | 10:03 |
| jink | ... | 10:04 |
| jink | Ok. | 10:04 |

| zaken | There's a Windows 10 installation already on that drive | 12:29 |
| zaken | And 30GB of unallocated space | 12:29 |
| BluesKaj | zaken,then format that space to an ext4 partition | 12:30 |
| BluesKaj | if that's where you want to install ubuntu | 12:31 |
| zaken | ok, how do I format to ext4 from windows? | 12:32 |
| akik | BluesKaj: it sounds like the install routine doesn't recognize zaken has a ssd | 12:32 |
| zaken | ^^ | 12:32 |
| zaken | I just shrinked the existing C drive as it came with a brand new laptop | 12:33 |
| zaken | I tried partitioning it without formatting but same result | 12:34 |
| BluesKaj | zaken,the ssd needs a recognizable file system-partition, and windows doesn't see it, but gparted live media would do the job | 12:34 |
| zaken | alright, brb | 12:35 |
| BluesKaj | zaken, did you see the optional "try ubuntu "? | 12:35 |

| apw | gopal, it looks like you ahve done everything we would ask you to do, as this is clearly broken in upstream 4.15 too, you have a bug filed upstream | 15:25 |
| akik | zaken: try using the xorg session instead of the wayland session | 15:25 |
| apw | gopal, without an exact machine in hand it is hard to debug such things | 15:25 |
| gopal | apw: but no respons | 15:26 |
| zaken | akik: I am downloading 16.04 right now. Will try that as well and come back in a bit. I figured it has to do something with Wayland and 4K probably | 15:26 |
| gopal | apw: i can give you access to my machine | 15:26 |
| apw | gopal, well no response yet to be fair, things are normally pretty slow upstream | 15:26 |
| apw | gopal, i am not sure i have the time to look at it right now, i am still workng on meltdown/spectre | 15:27 |
| Drammer | Any one here for cloudmining php script project | 15:27 |
| apw | and i don't mean to make it sounds liek one doesn't care, but it is less important than those issues right now | 15:27 |
| leftyfb | Drammer: that's offtopic. Please look elsewhere | 15:27 |
| gopal | apw: who can help me ? | 15:27 |
| apw | gopal, the right people know about it, so i am not sure what to suggest really | 15:28 |
| apw | gopal, it is utterly annoying for sure, but with literally no clue as to which bit of your machine is not turning itself off when we hand | 15:28 |
| apw | gopal, back to the bios to switch off ... | 15:29 |
| hggdh | gopal: again -- asking the same thing multiple times every day will not help. Please stop. | 15:29 |
| gopal | apw: any temp. solution ? | 15:29 |
| apw | gopal, i asked my emergency bios-hugger and even he has no idea how to decide what h/w is on after you turned it off | 15:31 |
| apw | gopal, does pulling the battery and reinserting it fix the issue btw, or does it persist even then | 15:31 |
| gopal | apw: my battery lock is damaged , cant do it every time | 15:32 |
| leftyfb | gopal: According to your bug report, this is not an ubuntu issue but an upstream linux kernel issue. You have a bug report upstream. There's nothing else you can do but follow that bug report till it's resolved in the linux kernel. This is no longer the appropriate support channel to continue to troubleshoot or ask for help with the issue. | 15:33 |
| akik | gopal: did you notice anything changing when you added the acpi_osi kernel parameter? what do you have there now, btw? | 15:34 |
| gopal | akik: nothing , now it is default | 15:36 |
| akik | gopal: why did you remove it? i'd think it's better to have it there for the laptop's acpi subsystem | 15:36 |
| gopal | akik: changed my hdd | 15:37 |
| apw | gopal, my only thought would be to figure out what drivers each of your main internal things are using, wifi, bluetooth etc, and blacklist those so linux doesn't initialise them one per boot | 15:37 |
| apw | gopal, and then see if that helps any to try and work out which device is at fault | 15:37 |
| gopal | apw: how i can blacklist all ? | 15:38 |
| akik | gopal: set the acpi_osi parameter again | 15:38 |
| gopal | akik: plz guide me , how to do it | 15:39 |
| akik | gopal: TJ-'s script is in your bug report | 15:39 |
| ChileStuff | How can I pull up system information, as in device manager in 17.10? | 15:39 |
| gopal | akik: also how to roll back to default kernel ? ml kernel broke my wifi | 15:39 |
| akik | gopal: not sure how (about the kernel) | 15:40 |
| gopal | akik: how to install tj's script ? | 15:41 |
| gopal | akik: got it | 15:42 |
| gopal | apw akik thx a lot for help | 15:42 |
| akik | http://iam.tj/prototype/enhancements/Windows-acpi_osi.html These commands can also be downloaded as the ready-to-run shell script acpi_osi.sh. After downloading execute the script. It will ask you to confirm the proposed change before it goes ahead. | 15:42 |
| ChileStuff | Can anyone tell me how I can pull up system information in 17.10? | 15:44 |
| akik | ChileStuff: inxi can show it | 15:45 |
| leftyfb | ChileStuff: sudo lshw or sudo lcpci or sudo lsusb or sudo dmidecode or inxi | 15:45 |
| gopal | akik: how i can select windows 2017 acpi ? | 15:46 |
| akik | gopal: the script should edit it for you | 15:46 |
| gopal | akik: only available upto 2015 | 15:46 |

| zaken | akik: I'm on 16.04 live and it's working fine. But.. When I open GParted there's it errors with "The driver descriptor says the physical block size is 2048 bytes, but Linux says it is 512 bytes." | 15:49 |
| zaken | with Cancel/Ignore as options | 15:50 |

| akik | zaken: do you have a sata mode setting in your uefi? could it be that you have sata mode=raid and linux doesn't like it | 15:53 |
| zaken | I do have that enabled. I don't actually have any other disks connected so I thought it just ignores that setting | 15:53 |
| akik | zaken: sata mode=raid ? | 15:54 |
| akik | zaken: go change it to ahci | 15:54 |
| zaken | Yes, it's something like that iirc | 15:54 |

| akik | somebody else says that --hctosys causes it | 15:57 |
| ChileStuff | Ok, new question ... | 15:57 |
| ChileStuff | how the hell do I read this? :D | 15:57 |
| ChileStuff | I need to know what specific model video adaptor I have | 15:58 |
| akik | ChileStuff: lspci can show it | 15:58 |
| ChileStuff | I know it's a raedon r7, but not specific model | 15:58 |
| akik | ChileStuff: lspci | egrep "(VGA|3D)" | 15:59 |
| zaken | akik: I see the whole disk after I switched to AHCI. The error still pops up when I start GParted though... | 16:00 |
| ChileStuff | Thank you | 16:01 |
| ChileStuff | Not sure if that's what I need though | 16:02 |
| akik | zaken: oh you had win10 there. sorry i didn't notice. i pasted you an url for super.com talking about that error but don't execute it | 16:02 |
| zaken | I haven't done anything from that link, just switched from raid to ahci | 16:03 |
| zaken | Successfully partitioned the empty space to ext4. Will try installing | 16:03 |
| zaken | akik: Okay, no more 'Not entough space' error. There's no "Install Ubuntu alongside Windows" option. Should I just go Something else and install on the partition I prepared | 16:06 |
| zaken | Would it correctly work with the boot loader if I do it that way? | 16:06 |
| akik | zaken: ubuntu knows how to add itself to the efi system partition | 16:07 |
| akik | zaken: do you boot in efi mode? | 16:07 |
| zaken | yes | 16:07 |
| zaken | the winboze boots in efi | 16:07 |
| zaken | it's a brand new Dell laptop | 16:07 |
| akik | zaken: and you probably then have a efi system partition | 16:07 |
| akik | fat32 partition | 16:07 |
| zaken | correct | 16:08 |
| akik | zaken: sure start the install. somebody here can help you if it doesn't boot after install | 16:08 |
| zaken | so "Something else" and select the ] | 16:08 |
| akik | zaken: yes | 16:09 |
| zaken | make it root and nothing else, right\ | 16:11 |
| akik | zaken: yes | 16:11 |

| UbuntuStudioNewb | I've now switched from Windows, is there anything I need to take care after the installation progress? Also: The installer showed the installation of amd64-packages, whilst I'm on Intel - does it have to do anything with it at all? | 17:02 |
| Kon- | amd64 means it's a 64-bit OS | 17:02 |
| CalicoWINDOWS | UbuntuStudioNewb: do not remove your windows installation, that's one | 17:02 |
| whatever01 | ducasse, i added those ppas to sources.list then updated the repos and it gives me this error message. do i need to add some key pgp or something? heres the output of apt-get update https://paste.ubuntu.com/26542039/ | 17:03 |

| UbuntuStudioNewb | Have a nice day, guys. See ya! | 17:05 |
| ducasse | whatever01: use the add-apt-repository near the top of the page to add the ppa, that will add the key as well | 17:05 |
| whatever01 | ducasse, i see. is it bad practice to add ppas manually in the way that i did? | 17:08 |
| ducasse | whatever01: no, not as long as you also add the key - using add-apt-repository is just an easy way to do it | 17:09 |
| whatever01 | ducasse, apt-cache search hashcat yields no results even after updating the repos. perhaps thats not the package name? | 17:11 |

| jayjo | I want to run a program that has an interface(gui) on a server... I haven't done this before so I'm just doing some research. Is using a Xvfb or an alternative really the only way to do it? To trick the software into thinking it is displaying graphical elements? Is this slow/secure? I see a lot of documentation but it feels like a WINE approach | 18:11 |
| ecormier | jayjo: I'd use vnc or X forwarding on ssh (I'd use the latter first) | 18:13 |
| ecormier | if I understand you correctly | 18:13 |
| jayjo | In my particular case right now the software I want to run on a server does not require a gui for my use, but in order to run it, it is required. (it is a trading software gateway). I've ran into this problem before when I was generating pdf/pngs with python on a server w matplotlib and I required X11. Just like using WINE isn't really a robust solution for production, is it OK to use xvfb or vnc for | 18:18 |
| jayjo | production? | 18:18 |
| ecormier | run vnc over ssh port forwarding is very safe | 18:20 |
| ecormier | I've never used xvfb, so I can't comment | 18:20 |
| ecormier | the other thing is if you can ssh into the server, just set the display before running the program so that the gui comes up on the server's X display | 18:21 |
| funabashi | Hu guys, how can i read more why i need to reboot? *** System restart required *** and also how i can removove if i dont want to reboot | 18:23 |
| Seveas | funabashi: most likely it's because you had a kernel, systemd or glibc update. Those updates really only work after a reboot. | 18:24 |
| akik | funabashi: the info is in /var/run/reboot-required.pkgs | 18:24 |
| funabashi | libc6 | 18:25 |
| Seveas | that's glibc. You'll want to reboot for that | 18:26 |
| funabashi | if i remobe lib6 from that file will it stop showing that statment? | 18:26 |
| Seveas | You should reboot. | 18:26 |
| funabashi | a server i like to have nice uptimes | 18:26 |
| Seveas | no you don't. You want security updates applied promptly, and service availability solved at a higher level than a single server | 18:27 |
| Seveas | high uptime == insecure machine | 18:27 |
| ecormier | Seveas: depends on the use case... | 18:28 |
| Seveas | Haven't yet seen a usecase that likes vulnerable kernels or glibc :) | 18:28 |
| ecormier | still needs to be connected to the net | 18:29 |
| ecormier | I have internal servers that it doesn't matter | 18:29 |
| ioria | wondering if live-patch works for glibc | 18:29 |
| Seveas | yes it absolutely does matter | 18:29 |
| ecormier | ? really... explain | 18:29 |
| Seveas | ioria: for glibc I think you can get away with restarting all services and getting systemd to reexec itself, but that's more painful than a reboot :) | 18:30 |
| ioria | for sure | 18:30 |
| Seveas | ecormier: once the attacker is in the network, you don't want him to have all these tasty vulnerable things to pivot on | 18:30 |
| Seveas | and that's a matter of when, not if. It only takes one inattentive person to open a phishing mail... | 18:31 |
| ecormier | no hacker is getting in to that network | 18:31 |
| Seveas | hahahaha | 18:31 |
| wafflejo_ | hard candy shell with mushy insides is never a good plan | 18:31 |
| ecormier | :) | 18:32 |
| Seveas | wafflejo_: indeed. I like it crunchy thorough and through. Crunchy like gravel! | 18:32 |
| wafflejo_ | I thought you were saying internal servers are no problem cause can schedule downtime but should really keep things up to date, if you need 0 down time you just use a copy of the server temporarily (aws and other vps services make this pretty easy, point the "elastic IP" at a new server and requests start going there) | 18:33 |
| ecormier | anyways the machine in question is a media server and it's on a different network... there is no way to access it from the net... there is no connection | 18:34 |
| ecormier | unless of course they break into my house, and then I've got bigger fish | 18:35 |
| ecormier | I do keep it up to date... I was just making a point... not very well obviously :) | 18:37 |
| Seveas | a box like that should be on auto-update-and-reboot really :) | 18:37 |
| ecormier | auto-update implies connected to the net | 18:38 |
| ecormier | anyhoo, off topic really | 18:39 |

| dlam | antonm: it holds a single file with the process ID of this celery task queue thing | 18:59 |

| david___ | https://paste.gnome.org/ppoq4hsdp | 19:26 |
| new | ecormier: I tried it on another pc and it' s all ok, boot normally | 19:26 |

| ecormier | new: then time to check your bios/efi boot settings... you could try turning off secure boot or try legacy boot mode | 19:27 |
| lotuspsychje | david___: how about your adobe flashplugin version? | 19:28 |
| slipttees | lotuspsychje: http://www.revendedorpositivo.com.br/PositivoB2B/Assets/Produtos/Documentos/59950.pdf | 19:28 |
| lotuspsychje | slipttees: cant find much decent sources on that brand sorry | 19:28 |
| lotuspsychje | slipttees: perhaps a few ideas, test other kernel/other ubuntu version? | 19:28 |
| slipttees | lotuspsychje: i try thanks | 19:29 |
| david___ | 1:20171212.1-0ubuntu0.17.10.1 | 19:29 |
| new | ecormier: it's off, the only thing I have not tried is legacy mode and now I think to do that | 19:29 |
| new | I try to see what happens | 19:30 |
| ecormier | new: if the livecd doesn't have efi, then you would need to do that | 19:30 |
| new | I think have | 19:30 |
| new | I go now | 19:31 |
| lotuspsychje | david___: could try also this one: browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash | 19:31 |
| david___ | ok | 19:31 |
| lotuspsychje | david___: to check if your system up to date: sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade | 19:32 |
| pr3c0g | @lotuspsychje, how do I check which one I'm using? | 19:35 |
| pr3c0g | I already have the system installed, the thing is that I notice some graphical lags (on the system itself, I'm not playing anything) | 19:36 |
| lotuspsychje | pr3c0g: sudo lshw -C video at bottom behind driver= | 19:36 |
| lotuspsychje | pr3c0g: are you in the wayland session or xorg? | 19:36 |
| pr3c0g | with that command I didn't understand what I'm using. I tried loginctl show-session 2 -p Type (2 is my session) and it says type=wayland | 19:38 |
| pr3c0g | "echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE" also returns wayland | 19:39 |
| lotuspsychje | pr3c0g: hastebin it if you like, ill check | 19:39 |
| pr3c0g | @lotuspsychje, https://pastebin.com/UszGebgh | 19:40 |
| lotuspsychje | pr3c0g: driver=radeon latency=0 | 19:40 |
| new | Hello, I tried to put legacy but come back to UEFI | 19:41 |
| lotuspsychje | pr3c0g: could you try the xorg session to compare with wayland if you get lags there too? | 19:41 |
| pr3c0g | how do I change to xorg ? | 19:42 |
| pr3c0g | I'll look it up | 19:42 |
| lotuspsychje | pr3c0g: logout yourself, and at gdm login screen, you can press the icon to ubuntu(on xorg) | 19:42 |
| pr3c0g | ah ok | 19:43 |
| pr3c0g | let's see | 19:43 |
| pr3c0g | brb | 19:43 |
| new | is there a way to start the dvd iso manually?I not know what to do now | 19:43 |
| akik | new: do you meant start the dvd while logged into the ubuntu desktop? | 19:46 |
| pr3c0g | lotuspsychje, ok, I don't notice the lags now. they were specially noticeable on the browser | 19:47 |
| pr3c0g | thanks for the help | 19:47 |
| new | akik yes if it is a good solution | 19:47 |
| pr3c0g | i'll look up the differences because I feel like i'm missing out on some stuff by not using wayland | 19:47 |
| akik | new: or did i understand correctly? do you have ubuntu installed already? | 19:47 |
| new | yes I have Ubuntu 17.10 | 19:48 |
| akik | new: ok you can install qemu-kvm package and use "sudo kvm -m 2048 /dev/sdX" to start the dvd | 19:48 |
| new | :D | 19:48 |
| akik | new: /dev/sdX is the dvd drive | 19:48 |
| new | ah ah ah ah ah Nooooo | 19:48 |
| lotuspsychje | pr3c0g: keep in mind that 17.10 is non-lts, for stable experience try an LTS | 19:49 |
| new | I have not understood and will use a virtual machine like this? | 19:50 |
| akik | new: yes, kvm starts a kvm virtual machine | 19:50 |
| pr3c0g | yeah, I guess that's the price of trying out the latest stuff :P | 19:51 |
| lotuspsychje | pr3c0g: 18.04 will use xorg by default | 19:52 |
| new | akik: I just have to use that command or do I have to create a vm too? | 19:53 |
| lotuspsychje | pr3c0g: feel free to help test in #ubuntu+1 | 19:53 |
| akik | new: you could install virt-manager. it's a gui frontend | 19:53 |
| new | akik: It is not the solution that I hoped, I was hoping to be able to start the DVD and run it alone | 19:54 |
| akik | new: well kvm can do it. there are a lot of options that you can use with kvm | 19:55 |
| new | ok | 19:55 |
| akik | new: are you only planning to run the ubuntu live session off the dvd and not install it? | 19:56 |
| akik | new: for example, using virt-manager would be easier for you, kvm is all manual stuff with using the correct options | 19:56 |
| new | akik: if for example I can not start the operating system due to some problem and the DVD as it does not start now, what could I do? | 20:00 |
| CrtxReavr | How do I search for what package would provide a specific filename? | 20:01 |
| EriC^^ | CrtxReavr: apt-file search filename | 20:01 |
| akik | new: is it a hardware problem that you can not boot off the dvd drive? | 20:01 |
| CrtxReavr | Got something that wants 'ant'. | 20:01 |
| akik | new: i'd try to fix that problem first | 20:01 |
| drewb | my apt-get install keeps hanging on the step " Setting up grub-common (2.02~beta3-4ubuntu7.1) ..." | 20:01 |
| EriC^^ | CrtxReavr: install apt-file first then run apt-file update | 20:01 |
| akik | new: you can also boot off a usb stick | 20:02 |
| CrtxReavr | I see that. | 20:02 |
| CrtxReavr | and 'apt-file update' aparently. | 20:02 |
| drewb | does anyone know how to resolve this grub issue? | 20:02 |
| CrtxReavr | Eat? | 20:03 |
| drewb | hilarious | 20:03 |
| new | with USB would not the boot problem occur again? | 20:03 |
| CrtxReavr | # apt-file search ant | wc -l82965 | 20:03 |
| CrtxReavr | That was less than helpful. | 20:04 |
| david___ | Sorry I restarted my Computer and checked if I had the newest version of Chromium and I got the newest one, all packages are up to date, but Chromium still tells me Flash is out of date | 20:04 |
| akik | new: i'm not sure what problem you are refering to. booting from a dvd drive and from a usb stick are two completely different things | 20:04 |
| CrtxReavr | david___, isn't flash embedded in Chrome? | 20:05 |
| lotuspsychje | david___: perhaps the website you try is badly? | 20:05 |
| david___ | I also tried the browser-freshplayer-pepperflash | 20:05 |
| new | akik: yes, but if the laptop does not start the dvd or the usb automatically how can you force the boot? | 20:05 |
| akik | new: there's a key you can press to force the machine to give you a list of boot devices | 20:06 |
| david___ | yes it seems like it, because it seems nothing changes, even after installing adobes non-free flash | 20:06 |
| akik | new: for example, F8, F10 or F12, or esc | 20:06 |
| lotuspsychje | david___: whats the website, ill test it on my chromium | 20:06 |
| new | yesss I also tried that but it does not work | 20:07 |
| david___ | every Website which has flash installed, I am on crunchyroll.com | 20:07 |
| === xet7_ is now known as xet7 | ||
| testsing[m] | hello, what is the recommended method of moving the install from disk to disk? I wanted to move from a bigger disk to a smaller disk so I just copied the rootfs, plugged the smaller drive into the laptop, ran the boot repair distro onto the smaller drive. But now it seems to only boot and mount the disk read only. | 20:08 |
| new | akik: I tried the GRUB menu the esc key then I wrote exit, the choice of the boot appeared and I chose the DVD but it is still the Ubuntu laptop | 20:08 |
| ioria | david___, have you tried firefox ? | 20:09 |
| akik | new: you need to press the key _before_ you get the grub screen | 20:10 |
| lotuspsychje | david___: when i press 'run once' it works instead of updating flash | 20:10 |
| testsing[m] | if you need flash then maybe best way is to just install Google Chrome | 20:11 |
| akik | new: but it can be with the new laptops that the time window is so short that it's difficult to trigger the boot menu | 20:11 |
| testsing[m] | it supports flash by itself | 20:11 |
| david___ | The problem is I have to do that for every page I browse, even on the same domain | 20:11 |
| akik | new: you should read your laptop/motherboard manual to see which key it is that triggers the boot menu | 20:11 |
| lotuspsychje | david___: chromium also says the page is unsafe so...flash is dying, try other sites? | 20:12 |
| kenrin | You should fix your fstab if you changing disks, it probably has uuid wrong | 20:12 |
| === Guest81652 is now known as leshaste | ||
| david___ | It's a streaming site, I only use chromium because of that site, because chromium runs flash much better than firefox | 20:12 |
| ioria | david___, really ? | 20:13 |
| lotuspsychje | david___: firefox doesnt like that site neither on my side | 20:13 |
| new | akik: F2 allows me to change the order of the boot and legacy or uefi, after the changes except but everything remains as before | 20:13 |
| ioria | david___, works ok here | 20:13 |
| testsing[m] | kenrin: I tried manually changin UUIDs too, both in fstab and grub.cfg but BIOS didn't recognize the OS. Then I tried boot-repair distro and just hit "repair boot". Then it recognized the OS but mounted it read only. | 20:13 |
| akik | new: f2 probably goes into the uefi where you can change other settings for your computer? | 20:14 |
| kenrin | mounting readonly is a sign of messed up fstab | 20:14 |
| akik | new: or bios | 20:14 |
| new | bios | 20:14 |
| david___ | Ok tried it in firefox, flash crashes ^^ | 20:15 |
| kenrin | Which flash? | 20:16 |
| CalicoFlows | I started Jack earlier. No I have no sound. I was having problems with only Ardour having sound and the rest of the applications hanging when I tried playing sometihng. I rebooted. Now all applicatoins just hang there when I try playing a song for example | 20:16 |
| ioria | david___, are you updated ? run 'strings /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so|grep LNX|awk '{print $2}'' | 20:16 |
| david___ | browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash | 20:16 |
| ioria | ah, why that ? | 20:17 |
| kenrin | I've had better luck with libflashplayer.so | 20:17 |
| akik | CalicoFlows: i think i have the solution to your problem | 20:17 |
| === menace is now known as Deknos | ||
| lotuspsychje | ioria: i suggested him because he said his adobe flash didnt work on chromium | 20:18 |
| ioria | lotuspsychje, i see | 20:18 |
| akik | CalicoFlows: you can hear audio from ardour but not from other apps? | 20:18 |
| lotuspsychje | ioria: his system up to date also | 20:18 |
| testsing[m] | kenrin: how can I troubleshoot that? Literally the only thing I replaced in fstab was the UUID | 20:18 |
| kenrin | It should be in your dmesg if there is any errors. You could try to remount as rw, you could change to partid or just use /dev/ paths | 20:22 |
| new | goodbye :( | 20:22 |
| kenrin | I like the arch approach of chrooting with a livecd, double-checking fstab, then reinstalling grub | 20:23 |
| CalicoFlows | akik, I couldn't play audio anywhere, the programs just freeze. And I just figured - when I kill a process called Jackbus - it goes back to normal, all programs start playing audio at once | 20:23 |
| CalicoFlows | but it was all fine before, so something is up | 20:23 |
| akik | CalicoFlows: do you want to test the way i fixed it? | 20:23 |
| CalicoFlows | Sure | 20:24 |
| SemiNus | hello! | 20:25 |
| SemiNus | may I please ask for help? | 20:25 |
| akik | CalicoFlows: https://pastebin.com/raw/ZtVgpcRU | 20:25 |
| CalicoFlows | just go ahead SemiNus | 20:25 |
| lotuspsychje | SemiNus: if its ubuntu related | 20:25 |
| SemiNus | I bought myself a wifi USB adapter as the built-in wifi card of my notebook (a realtek chip) is not fully supported the way I wished it to be which causes the wifi speed to be below 1 Mbit / sec even though I have a 100 Mbit connection | 20:26 |
| CalicoFlows | akik, I also had issues connecting Ardour to jack, you think it's related to the lack of that package? | 20:26 |
| SemiNus | now I want to make sure that the built-in wifi card is disabled | 20:27 |
| SemiNus | I found 2 different options | 20:27 |
| SemiNus | 1) iface wlan0 inet manual | 20:27 |
| SemiNus | however I believe that the external usb wifi adapter would probably become eth0 then | 20:27 |
| SemiNus | and be also disabled then? | 20:28 |
| SemiNus | not sure | 20:28 |
| kenrin | a wifi adapter is never going to be eth0 unless you manually named it | 20:28 |
| SemiNus | 2) blacklist the module in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf | 20:28 |
| SemiNus | but I needed to know what to blacklist (and I don't know how to find out) | 20:28 |
| ioria | SemiNus, paste 'ip a' output | 20:28 |
| ecormier | SemiNus: lspci -k would tell you | 20:28 |
| SemiNus | sure, 1 moment please | 20:28 |
| SemiNus | I need 1 minute to paste it | 20:28 |
| SemiNus | https://dpaste.de/p7eW/raw | 20:29 |
| SemiNus | https://dpaste.de/Vfds/raw | 20:29 |
| akik | CalicoFlows: that package is just for this problem that normal apps are not able to play audio when you're running jack | 20:29 |
| ecormier | SemiNus: look at the last entry | 20:30 |
| SemiNus | rtl8188ee | 20:30 |
| ecormier | 05:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co. Kernel modules: rtl8188ee | 20:30 |
| CalicoFlows | akik, aright, rebooting | 20:30 |
| SemiNus | so I could blacklist rtl8188ee ? | 20:30 |
| ecormier | yep | 20:30 |
| SemiNus | is this "the way to go"? | 20:31 |
| SemiNus | or is there a better option? | 20:31 |
| ecormier | yep | 20:31 |
| SemiNus | okay | 20:31 |
| ecormier | nope | 20:31 |
| ecormier | :) | 20:31 |
| SemiNus | thank you | 20:31 |
| testsing[m] | ok, I'll try that. ty | 20:31 |
| SemiNus | how comes you guys know so much?! | 20:31 |
| ecormier | been at it a while | 20:31 |
| ioria | SemiNus, would be enough to DOWN the built-in, btw | 20:31 |
| SemiNus | ioria, how would I do that? | 20:32 |
| ecormier | ioria: but then it would be still powered up | 20:32 |
| ioria | SemiNus, sudo ip link set ainterface> down | 20:32 |
| ioria | yes, powered up, but inactive | 20:32 |
| CalicoFlows | akik, https://i.imgur.com/2ZpErgR.png | 20:33 |
| ioria | SemiNus, sy, sudo ip link set <interface> down | 20:33 |
| CalicoFlows | let me show the contents of the file I edited, maybe..... :) | 20:33 |
| SemiNus | ioria, how long will this last? | 20:33 |
| SemiNus | until the next reboot? | 20:33 |
| ioria | SemiNus, nope | 20:33 |
| SemiNus | forever? | 20:34 |
| ioria | SemiNus, oh, using NM ? | 20:35 |
| SemiNus | what is NM? | 20:35 |
| ioria | SemiNus, network-manager | 20:35 |
| SemiNus | I am using the shell | 20:35 |
| ecormier | SemiNus: if it's a laptop where battery usage is going on I would blacklist the module | 20:35 |
| SemiNus | ok then I blacklist it | 20:35 |
| SemiNus | will it be active after the reboot or immediately? | 20:35 |
| ecormier | then it's shutdown at kernel level | 20:36 |
| CalicoFlows | akik, https://pastebin.com/4ru72dFi also I cannot control the volume anymore | 20:36 |
| Scheder | Hello Guys, how can I get Ubuntu on a USB with persistent mode, I've used "Linux live USB creator" but it did't work. At step 3 I set the persistent mode, it seems it did it but after test it doesn't save any file on the desktop. Any good link or recomendation? | 20:36 |
| akik | CalicoFlows: remove the two last lines from there | 20:37 |
| ioria | SemiNus, don't forget to have done that, if you decide to reactivate it | 20:37 |
| akik | CalicoFlows: i meant them for restarting of pulseaudio | 20:37 |
| CalicoFlows | akik, gotcha, should I run them now after removing them from the file and saving | 20:38 |
| akik | CalicoFlows: yes | 20:38 |
| kenrin | Did you try unetbootin Scheder ? | 20:38 |
| kenrin | persistent ubuntu is about the only thing that program is good for | 20:38 |
| Scheder | Hi Kenrin, No I haven't but I will try, thanks. It's not the first time I create an Ubuntu USB but it's the first time I try with persistent mode. | 20:40 |
| david___ | Ok I found the problem, it seems my the canonical partner repository wasn't activated, but I could install and remove adobeflash-plugin, there was probably a cached list from this repo so it thought it was up to date :/ | 20:41 |
| ioria | david___, you can't install adobeflash-plugin without canonical partner repository activated | 20:42 |
| ioria | !info adobeflash-plugin | 20:42 |
| ubottu | Package adobeflash-plugin does not exist in artful | 20:42 |
| david___ | Sorry I for wasting your time, I really appreciated all the help ^^ | 20:42 |
| CalicoFlows | akik, seems to be working again now, thanks! You deserve a crate of cold beer, the amount of help you provide man | 20:43 |
| akik | CalicoFlows: nice! | 20:43 |
| david___ | I could, I even removed it and reinstalled it, but I don't know how | 20:43 |
| akik | CalicoFlows: now i can add that to my "blog" (just a collection of notes) | 20:43 |
| SemiNus | kenrin, ioria and ecormier => Thank you very much for your help! | 20:44 |
| akik | CalicoFlows: all apps can now produce audio? | 20:44 |
| ioria | david___, probably activated and then deactivated in sources.list | 20:44 |
| CalicoFlows | akik, great, I was thinking to start something like that as well. Btw earlier it turned out that I ran out of disk space, so I was not able to login, managed to handle it on my own - for once, finally! | 20:44 |
| CalicoFlows | yup, works as expected | 20:44 |
| david___ | not impossible, atleast not intentionally | 20:45 |
| akik | CalicoFlows: there's a lot of information at askubuntu and ubuntu forums, but they tend to be buried there | 20:45 |
| david___ | But either way thanks for the help, have a nice day :) | 20:45 |
| ioria | SemiNus, sudo lshw -C Network will give you much infos about your network interfaces | 20:45 |
| CalicoFlows | akik, yeah I keep on running into 2013 threads... | 20:45 |
| SemiNus | thank you ioria | 20:46 |
| ioria | david___, btw, watching naruto without issues with firefox and flashplugin-installer (ver 28) | 20:46 |
| ioria | SemiNus, ok | 20:46 |
| CalicoFlows | akik, however, ardour reports failed to open audio device | 20:47 |
| akik | CalicoFlows: i have ardour open here | 20:47 |
| akik | CalicoFlows: open the "window" menu, and then audio/midi setup | 20:49 |
| lordl | Hi! I have a problem with shellinabox on my Ubuntu Server 17.10 (64 bit). I put the service argument with the "/:SSH" value in its configuration and I get 2 things when I input the username: "command-line line 0: Unsupported option "rhostsrsaauthentication"" and "command-line line 0: Unsupported option "rsaauthentication"". Any ideas? | 20:49 |
| akik | CalicoFlows: i have "jack" there | 20:50 |
| CalicoFlows | akik, I get https://pastebin.com/TN5iSzj3 if I select jack | 20:51 |
| akik | CalicoFlows: did you make the changes to your system's /etc/security/limits.d ? rtprio/memlock | 20:52 |
| SuperDumb | Hey sorry quick question. I see swap on my free -m as 0 0 0 . Does ubuntu do anything if no swap is configured? Swappiness is still 60 | 20:53 |
| akik | CalicoFlows: it's a two-step process, you first select a group that your user belongs to, then add the config into /etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf for that group | 20:53 |
| CalicoFlows | akik, um.. nope | 20:53 |
| kenrin | It crashes if it needs to use swap and runs out of ram | 20:54 |
| akik | CalicoFlows: although you have many errors there, let's try to fix some of them :) | 20:54 |
| SuperDumb | @kenrin that's what I thought just wanted to be sure. | 20:54 |
| CalicoFlows | akik, I see, I saw that earlier, but there are at least 5 different solutions that I saw/... so I didn't attempt anything | 20:55 |
| CalicoFlows | when I was looking for a solution for the 'unable to create session' | 20:55 |
| akik | CalicoFlows: i've created a group audio and then added my user into that group | 20:55 |
| CalicoFlows | akik, the thread I look at says "And dont forget to check parameters in Qjackqtl. "Realtime" " | 20:59 |
| CalicoFlows | but I am getting lost there, cannot find that option | 20:59 |
| akik | CalicoFlows: then, add a new file /etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf and add this as the content https://pastebin.com/raw/x9WEqRq4 | 20:59 |
| CalicoFlows | is @audio - nice -19 necessary | 20:59 |
| akik | CalicoFlows: i have it but it's commented | 21:00 |
| CalicoFlows | I just added these lines to etc/security/limits.conf | 21:00 |
| CalicoFlows | should I revert the changes and edit the file you said | 21:01 |
| akik | CalicoFlows: it's ok there too | 21:01 |
| Lunar | What is the command of the gnome/unity mouse settings? I switched from evdev to libinput for xserver (trying to fix an issue), and it seems it resetted the mouse settings. I am using i3wm with most of the gnome DE removed (but am OK to install stuff from it) | 21:01 |
| CalicoFlows | pf, linux man, I still do not understand these edits of random files and renaming of conf files :)) | 21:01 |
| CalicoFlows | right, so I'll log out | 21:01 |
| akik | CalicoFlows: there's just too many use cases for linux, hardware/software | 21:02 |
| akik | CalicoFlows: you might need a reboot | 21:02 |
| CalicoFlows | alright | 21:02 |
| calicodebug | akik: um, first and foremost, I cannot login with hexchat, I get account-notify extended-join identify-msg multi-prefix sasl | 21:06 |
| calicodebug | any idea? | 21:06 |
| calicodebug | I am on the webchat right now | 21:06 |
| calicodebug | I hope the server didn't start hating me from so much reboots haha | 21:07 |
| kenrin | Server support things just went down, that might be it | 21:07 |
| dax | calicodebug: network services are currently offline, freenode staff is investigating it. no NickServ or ChanServ for now. | 21:07 |
| calicodebug | dax: I cannot connect with any nicname thoough ;/ | 21:09 |
| dax | calicodebug: your client's probably trying to use SASL and then freaking out when it doesn't get a response | 21:09 |
| Lunar | What is the command for a gui to set mouse settings for xserver libinput? (sorry if there was an answer, accendently /quit and didn't saw it) | 21:09 |
| calicodebug | akik: so... I opened Ardour aand heard the most terrifying sound that a human can hear.. Loud! At that... my volume icon is inactive again.... | 21:10 |
| akik | calicodebug: not sure what sound you mean. ardour shouldn't play anything unless you tell it to | 21:11 |
| calico | just static noise, crazy bad | 21:12 |
| kostkon | calico, ouch | 21:12 |
| akik | calico: are the normal apps still working? | 21:13 |
| SemiNus | re | 21:16 |
| === dr___ is now known as dr_ | ||
| syntaks | By chance are there any Z820 users here? :) | 21:17 |
| calico | akik: yes. No matter how I set the volume, in ardor it's loud as shit. And just plain terrifying. Muting doesn't work. Only exiting the program | 21:18 |
| calico | Amarok plays audio... | 21:18 |
| akik | calico: can you go check the "window/audio and midi setup" menu? | 21:19 |
| calico | akik: when I select a project... the sound starts as soon as it switches the window... | 21:21 |
| DrkShad0w | Hey, is something wrong with us.archive.ubuntu.com? the /ubuntu/dists/*/Release files list .../Packages files, but this host has only Packages.gz and Packages.xz. There's no uncompressed packages, and it's screwing up my clients. | 21:23 |
| leftyfb | DrkShad0w: what version of ubuntu? | 21:24 |
| calico | akik: the case might be that the mic output is on for ardour... | 21:24 |
| DrkShad0w | 14.04 | 21:25 |
| DrkShad0w | trusty | 21:25 |
| calico | akik: but, I don't know it's instant and once again... terrifying haha | 21:26 |
| akik | calico: mute your speakers? | 21:26 |
| calico | akik: can't mure from the laptop, I can plug in headphones now that I think about it | 21:27 |
| DrkShad0w | For example, consider http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-updates/main/binary-amd64/. There is no "Packages" file. Only .gz and .bz2. Consider http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-updates/Release. It has a checksum for the Packages file in that directory. | 21:27 |
| analogical | why doesn't http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969 use TLS ?? :( | 21:28 |
| calico | akik: it says connected to jack | 21:28 |
| DrkShad0w | Evenwith an apt preference, Acquire::CompressionTypes::Order { "gz"; "xz"; "bz2" };, it still wants to pull /Packages, and fails for invalid hash (I have an older copy of /Packages) | 21:29 |
| DrkShad0w | (have on my internal mirror) | 21:29 |
| akik | calico: so now you have another problem with ardour? | 21:29 |
| calico | akik: and as soon as I play the sounds loaded in the project, they play normally, I stop them and the noise returns | 21:29 |
| leftyfb | DrkShad0w: there's no "Packages" file for any release | 21:29 |
| calico | it seems so, yeah :) | 21:29 |
| DrkShad0w | leftyfb: then why are they given checksums in the Release file? | 21:29 |
| akik | calico: try the #ardour channel | 21:30 |
| leftyfb | maybe the checksum of the uncompressed file within the available compressed versions? | 21:30 |
| DrkShad0w | Is apt-mirror and such supposed to pull it and decompress itself? | 21:30 |
| DrkShad0w | sigh... | 21:30 |
| calico | akik: can we try muting the microphone? | 21:30 |
| u0_a131 | /part | 21:30 |
| akik | calico: i don't know, haven't used mics with it | 21:31 |
| akik | calico: you can probably do it with pavucontrol | 21:31 |
| akik | calico: there's "input devices/mute audio" for the mic in pavucontrol | 21:32 |
| === TJ- is now known as Guest27109 | ||
| === Toast is now known as Guest67719 | ||
| calico | akik: me neither, but it I am on a laptop. Yep! I am sure now - when I snap my fingers when the sounds are playnig it doesn't hear it, but whem it's not playing I can notice a blip on the meter | 21:33 |

| Lunar | What is the command for a gui to set mouse settings (for xserver libinput)? | 21:34 |
| kenrin | That would depend on your DE | 21:37 |
| kenrin | Mine is unity-control-center mouse, no idea what yours would be | 21:37 |
| MWM | when I run apt-get update I get "Ign" for everything, except for the ones that it "Failed to Fetch" | 21:37 |
| MWM | changing the server from main to United states didnt seem to help. permissions on /etc/apt/sources.list are correct and the file is populated appropriately | 21:38 |
| MWM | Is this something happening because I remained on 17.04? | 21:39 |
| Lunar | kenrin: I am using i3wm, so no real DE. I've tried {unity,gnome}-control-center, but they only list like 3 categories, nothing about the mouse | 21:39 |
| Lunar | I am also using 16.04 if it matters | 21:39 |
| calico | akik: no change if I mute the mic or not, unfortunately ;/ | 21:39 |
| yosefrow | @MWM, I'm not sure why its like that, but according to: https://askubuntu.com/questions/17787/what-does-ign-mean-in-update-manager Ign means that there are simply no updates in the repo | 21:39 |
| yosefrow | no changes in the repo sorry | 21:40 |
| calico | akik: thanks a lot for the help. I have more issues, but I will save some for tomorrow :)) | 21:40 |
| yosefrow | there might be updates available for your computer, but the repo itself didnt change | 21:40 |
| akik | Lunar: do you mean xinput? | 21:40 |
| dax | MWM: yes, end-of-lifed versions of ubuntu get moved off the mirror network. see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades for alternate repository information, and upgrade information. | 21:41 |
| Lunar | akik: Yeah but an easier version of it | 21:41 |
| yosefrow | @dax, so Ign means that the list is unavailable in this case? or that it hasnt been updated? | 21:42 |
| MWM | See I kinda figured that and decided to roll up my sleeves and "do-release-upgrade" but I get errors there as well. Ill check the link from @dax | 21:43 |
| MWM | thanks | 21:44 |
| dax | MWM: yeah, the link will fix those :) | 21:44 |
| dax | yosefrow: Ign means it checked the repo's index file and determined it didn't have any changes to download. the stuff caused by EOL would have been "Failed to Fetch" | 21:44 |
| yosefrow | @dax, ok so Ign means that the repo is still alive, just not changed. got it. Thanks :) I couldnt find any real documentation for these codes in `man apt-get` | 21:45 |
| yosefrow | but i guess its common sense if you use apt for long enough | 21:45 |
| MWM | THen Im confused. normally running apt-get update will not produce a long list of Ign messages. and the Failed to fetches I am getting are for PPA's | 21:46 |
| MWM | Normally if I see something like IGN something is wrong with the sources.list or the network is otherwise configured incorrectly. That is not the case today | 21:47 |
| jerichowasahoax | ign is just short for ignore, isn't it | 21:47 |
| yosefrow | jerichowasahoax, I believe so as well, but the implications of ignore arent clear | 21:47 |
| yosefrow | at least to me | 21:47 |
| yosefrow | most sources ive found claim as dax said, that if it was actually a network failure, it would say "Failed to Fetch" | 21:48 |
| unholymachine | hi, i'm trying to create a script that upon execution on a laptop w/ non-working wifi automatically installs the required 3rd party driver. i was wondering if anyone had any idea as to how i'd go about this and/or if such a script already exists. i understand that ubuntu downloads and installs many 3rd party drivers during installation if a checkbox in ubiquity is selected. but, unfortunately, this is not always the case when | 21:48 |
| unholymachine | it comes to some hardware. | 21:48 |
| jerichowasahoax | yosefrow: apt is pretty good at complaining if something's wrong, so i figure "ignore" isn't necessarily a sign that something's wrong | 21:48 |
| yosefrow | jerichowasahoax, the issue here I guess is that MWM has a gut feeling that something *is* wrong because *all* of his package lists suddenly return Ign and in the past this has been associated with a misconfiguration | 21:49 |
| MWM | yosefrow: correct. thank you | 21:50 |
| jerichowasahoax | well how much time has passed between "apt update" calls | 21:50 |
| yosefrow | He seems to be saying that there is a specific bad condition (wrong config) in which Ign is indicative of an error | 21:50 |
| TJ- | "Ign" for fetching package lists (Release, InRelease) means there's been no change in the file since last time it was fetched | 21:50 |
| yosefrow | Therefore maybe there are other bad conditions that would result in this state | 21:50 |
| MWM | a number of specific conditions. 1 time it was because I had set a firewall elsewhere on the network too agressively. another it was because I had somehow "misplaced" my sources.list and needed to regenerate it | 21:51 |
| TJ- | In the source-code of apt "Ign '" is printed when a package list is in state StatDone without needing to download | 21:51 |
| jerichowasahoax | maybe an unofficial mirror is being used that hasn't been updated in a long time | 21:51 |
| yosefrow | TJ-, does apt have a caching mechanism for lists? Could it be referencing cache when returning Ign? | 21:51 |
| MWM | there have been a couple others, but usually if I cannot update , I can blame a network difficulty. although this machine still sees others on the network and can get outside just fine | 21:51 |
| TJ- | yosefrow: lists are cached in /var/lib/apt/lists/ | 21:53 |
| yosefrow | @MWM, are you using a reverse caching proxy in your system? | 21:53 |
| MWM | *whew* finally got the upgrade tool working. I started to panic when I couldnt do-release-upgrade | 21:53 |
| yosefrow | or any proxy for that matter | 21:53 |
| yosefrow | something that might be caching requests | 21:53 |
| yosefrow | instead of actually visiting the servers | 21:54 |
| MWM | no proxy. "E:The repository 'http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu stable Release' does not have a Release file.," | 21:54 |
| MWM | ^ from when I run the update tool | 21:54 |
| TJ- | MWM: "stable" is not an ubuntu release, that's Debian | 21:54 |
| yosefrow | MWM, do you get lots of Ign in combination with this error you just mentioned? | 21:55 |
| MWM | *everything* is an Ign | 21:56 |
| yosefrow | eitherway you can just try replacing stable with an actual ubuntu release name like xenial and see if you still get the error | 21:56 |
| yosefrow | but use the name of your actual release | 21:56 |
| yosefrow | or comment it out | 21:57 |
| MWM | Ill give it a shot. I dont see it here in my sources.list but maybe Im not looking hard enough | 21:57 |
| MWM | seems the only thing that says"stable" is google chrome... | 21:57 |
| yosefrow | @MWM, then check your /etc/apt/sources.list.d | 21:58 |
| yosefrow | MWM, try commenting that then (though if i recall it may be generated again automatically) | 21:58 |
| yosefrow | something weird bout the chrome package | 21:58 |
| yosefrow | generates its own sources list file or something | 21:58 |
| MWM | yeah only one instance of the word stable in the list. Ill check sources.list.d | 21:59 |
| yosefrow | grep the directory | 21:59 |
| yosefrow | grep stable -nr /etc/apt | 22:00 |
| MWM | one step agead of me. I was just going to check if that would get the results I wanted | 22:00 |
| yosefrow | use that | 22:00 |
| MWM | using your grep returns only chrome that chrome repo with the word stable in it | 22:01 |
| yosefrow | comment them out then | 22:01 |
| yosefrow | save the files and then apt-get update again | 22:01 |
| yosefrow | TJ-, my guess is that possibly his update is short circuiting because of faulty repo, and then apt is using its list cache to determine that there are no changes | 22:02 |
| cek | guys, I'm trying to run dhclient -4 -1 -d -n -v wlp1s0 to test dhcp server, but it compains. What's wrong ? | 22:03 |
| TJ- | Ign is perfectly fine; e.g. here's from an "apt update" I just did: "Ign:1 http:/security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security InRelease" | 22:03 |
| MWM | TJ: fair enough, but I also cannot do release upgrade, and cannot reach certain packages that were called for when building handbrake earlier | 22:04 |
| yosefrow | @TJ-, not saying it isnt. Just that in this case, Ign could be claiming there are no changes, simply because the update was short circuited and changes were compared to list cache. just a guess of course | 22:04 |
| MWM | That handbrake build is actually what sent me on this little witch hunt | 22:05 |
| yosefrow | MWM, did you comment out the chrome repo and update | 22:05 |
| TJ- | yosefrow: I don't think so, if it can't get the file it'll report a 404, if it can't reach the server it'll report failed connection | 22:05 |
| MWM | yosefrow: yes. No good. still Ign all the way down the line | 22:05 |
| yosefrow | ust clear his list cache and try again | 22:06 |
| TJ- | yosefrow: generally if you "find /var/lib/apt/lists/ -type f -delete" and then "apt update" all files will be fetched | 22:06 |
| yosefrow | TJ-, thats the solution im looking for | 22:06 |
| MWM | Im in the /var/lib/apt now | 22:06 |
| yosefrow | MWM, try the command that TJ- posted | 22:06 |
| MWM | I can just empy those? | 22:07 |
| zach-15803 | alright, question, how to i compile a c script? | 22:07 |
| TJ- | MWM: "sudo find /var/lib/apt/lists/ -type f -delete && sudo apt update" | 22:07 |
| MWM | apt-get update is still reporting a long line of Ign. | 22:08 |
| yosefrow | MWM as a last resort i usually use sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* | 22:08 |
| yosefrow | sudo apt clean | 22:08 |
| yosefrow | apt-get check | 22:08 |
| MWM | do-release-upgradedied again as well | 22:09 |
| yosefrow | apt-get update | 22:09 |
| zach-15803 | uhm | 22:09 |
| zach-15803 | hello? | 22:09 |
| yosefrow | zach-15803, ./configure , then make i think? | 22:09 |
| zach-15803 | alright, ill try it | 22:09 |
| yosefrow | then make-install | 22:09 |
| TJ- | yosefrow: I don't do the 'rm -rf' since it'll delete the ./partial/ sub-directory. Sometimes that can subsequently break apt | 22:09 |
| zach-15803 | ./configure | 22:10 |
| zach-15803 | bash: ./configure: No such file or directory | 22:10 |
| yosefrow | http://www.tldp.org/LDP/LG/current/smith.html | 22:10 |
| yosefrow | @zach-15803, | 22:10 |
| zach-15803 | yosefrow, yes? | 22:10 |
| CalicoFlows | akik, whew... fixed it! My system volume control does not affect Ardour though, so that's why nothing would happen when the noisy was attacking my ears | 22:10 |
| yosefrow | @TJ-, so then sudo rm -f /var/lib/apt/lists/* ? | 22:11 |
| MWM | well apt is no more broken then it was before. if there is nothing else to try I guess I was slated to do a fresh install sometime soon anyway | 22:11 |
| TJ- | yosefrow: no, just use "-type f" with: "sudo find /var/lib/apt/lists/ -type f -delete" | 22:12 |
| MWM | Is there a way to do a lateral install to Arch ? :D | 22:12 |
| akik | CalicoFlows: i see you got the fix for the loopback noise | 22:12 |
| yosefrow | TJ-, the effect is the same, just my command generates an error, no? | 22:12 |
| yosefrow | MWM, I have more solutions | 22:12 |
| zach-15803 | (trusty)zach-15803@localhost:~/Downloads/Huion-Driver$ make ./huiontablet.c | 22:12 |
| zach-15803 | make: Nothing to be done for `huiontablet.c'. | 22:12 |
| MWM | Sweet. Thank you | 22:12 |
| zach-15803 | it gives me that | 22:12 |
| yosefrow | if you are gonna reinstall anyway and nobody has suggestions ill post all my apt hacks that i use. | 22:13 |
| yosefrow | echo 'Acquire::http::Pipeline-Depth "0";' | sudo tee /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99pipelining-off | 22:13 |
| yosefrow | echo 'Acquire::http::Timeout "5";' | sudo tee /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99reduce-timeout | 22:13 |
| MWM | I wasnt planning on reinstalling for a few months. I consider it maintenance, but I still put it off as long as possible | 22:13 |
| yosefrow | echo 'Acquire::ForceIPv4 "true";' | sudo tee /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99force-ipv4 | 22:13 |
| zach-15803 | any ideas? or is there a way i can run it like a sh file | 22:14 |
| MWM | I would rather fix my current install if I could | 22:14 |
| yosefrow | echo 'DSELECT::Clean "always";' | sudo tee /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99always-clean-dselect | 22:14 |
| yosefrow | echo 'APT::Get::Clean=always;' | sudo tee /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99always-clean-apt | 22:14 |
| yosefrow | sudo apt clean && sudo apt update | 22:14 |
| yosefrow | those are all the fixes i know | 22:14 |
| Lunar | zach-15803: Read the README, BUILD and/or INSTALL files if it includes any | 22:14 |
| yosefrow | and the rm thing, but use TJ's instead | 22:15 |
| CalicoFlows | akik, yeah, crazy... I have something else, if you're not tired of me, haha. Everyime I open TerminatorX it says that it needs access to the mouse. I do sudo chmod -R 777 /dev/input/mice but I need to do that every time I reboot. How can I set that once and it sticks? | 22:15 |
| yosefrow | its more proper | 22:15 |
| zach-15803 | let me show you the FILES i have | 22:15 |
| Lunar | zach-15803: if there is a Makefile in the directory, simply run make | 22:15 |
| yosefrow | and as TJ mentioned rf can delete directories that can harm your system | 22:15 |
| zach-15803 | there is no makefile | 22:16 |
| zach-15803 | the intructions say to modify the kernel, but... | 22:16 |
| zach-15803 | for some odd reason, my kernel is READONLY | 22:16 |
| TJ- | !kernel | zach-15803 | 22:17 |
| ubottu | zach-15803: The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) | 22:17 |
| yosefrow | @MWM, If nothing works you can also backup and empty /etc/apt/sources.list.d | 22:17 |
| zach-15803 | i dont want to have to do that | 22:18 |
| yosefrow | as well as replace your /etc/apt/sources.list with a default list file | 22:18 |
| === foddo is now known as leroy | ||
| === leroy is now known as foddo | ||
| yosefrow | those are all the most drastic measures i can think of short of reinstall | 22:18 |
| TJ- | MWM: can you show us "pastebinit <( grep '^deb ' /etc/apt/sources.list{,.d/*}; apt update )" | 22:18 |
| zach-15803 | ill be fully honest here, im runnung Uby14 on a chromebook via CROUTON | 22:18 |
| zach-15803 | as far as i can tell, its literally a full uby | 22:18 |
| MWM | https://paste.ubuntu.com/26543482/ | 22:20 |
| CalicoFlows | akik, so in #ardour they're sahing | 22:20 |
| CalicoFlows | that probably I'll not be able to control the volume output of Ardour with the system volume control ;/ | 22:21 |
| akik | CalicoFlows: there's a master volume slider in ardour | 22:21 |
| akik | CalicoFlows: and also for each track there's a separate slider | 22:22 |
| MWM | seems I got too trigger happy with the -rf in /var/lib | 22:22 |
| yosefrow | MWM run "pastebinit <( grep '^deb ' /etc/apt/sources.list{,.d/*}; sudo apt update )" | 22:22 |
| MWM | I cant install pastebinit ... :( | 22:23 |
| yosefrow | MWM run "nc termbin.com 9999 <( grep '^deb ' /etc/apt/sources.list{,.d/*}; sudo apt update )" | 22:24 |
| TJ- | MWM: that worked fine, but you didn't use 'sudo' for "apt update" so it couldn't lock the files | 22:25 |
| TJ- | MWM: so "sudo apt update" | 22:25 |
| MWM | Ive got a "WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts." and a list if repositories that "does not have a Release file" | 22:26 |
| TJ- | MWM: that's fine, expected about CLI with apt called from a script, and expected also for "Release" files since we now use combined Release + signature files called "InRelease" | 22:26 |
| senaps | i have ubuntu-server 17.10, my first interface is host-only(static ip) and my second interface is NAT. i can't reason with and it only works with one interface!(first) anybody able to walk me through configuring netplan? | 22:27 |
| MWM | sudo apt update gives a smaller list of Ign and some 404's now | 22:28 |
| TJ- | MWM: what does "find /var/lib/apt/lists -type f -name '*InRelease' " report now? several files I'd expect | 22:28 |
| TJ- | MWM: try "sudo apt install pastebinit" | 22:29 |
| yosefrow | @MWM, or `nc termbin.com 9999 <( grep '^deb ' /etc/apt/sources.list{,.d/*}; sudo apt update )` if you cant install | 22:29 |
| MWM | yes there are several riles with "InRelease" however I still cannot install pastebinit | 22:29 |
| TJ- | MWM: try "apt-cache policy pastebinit" | 22:30 |
| yosefrow | MWM, for some reason the second < didnt paste. sorry i meant `nc termbin.com 9999 < <( grep '^deb ' /etc/apt/sources.list{,.d/*}; sudo apt update )` | 22:30 |
| TJ- | MWM: and put the result into a pastebin for me please | 22:30 |
| MWM | https://paste.ubuntu.com/26543539/ | 22:31 |
| yosefrow | MWM: TJ- seems to know what he's doing, and I gtg so good luck guys | 22:32 |
| MWM | http://termbin.com/vltp | 22:32 |
| MWM | thanks yosefrow | 22:32 |
| yosefrow | MWM np, cya | 22:33 |
| TJ- | MWM: OK, your problem is because Zesty 17.04 is end-of-life the packages are removed from the archive. So, do this: "sudo sed -i 's/us\.archive/old-releases/' /etc/apt/sources.list" | 22:33 |
| TJ- | MWM: That will replace the entries with our old-releases archive name, then do "sudo apt update" and it'll fetch the package lists correctly | 22:34 |
| TJ- | MWM: at that point you can do "sudo apt full-upgrade" .... after that, you'll be good to do a do-release-upgrade to 17.10 Artful | 22:35 |
| MWM | and we have pastebinit installed! Whoohoo! | 22:35 |
| TJ- | MWM: for some reason despite reading your earlier pastebins I had it in my mind you were using 16.04 Xenial, not 17.04 Zesty ! | 22:36 |
| MWM | Honestly I thought this might be the issue, but I really started floundering once I colndt "do-release-upgrade" | 22:37 |
| MWM | thank you for your help | 22:37 |
| TJ- | MWM: glad we got you sorted out... eventually :D | 22:37 |
| senaps | how would i setup netplan for NAT? i want enp0s8 to be nat. | 22:37 |
| TJ- | MWM: once you're stable again, I'd suggest removing those apt.conf/ files yosefrow had you create earlier | 22:38 |
| MWM | Im not an expert, but those were to make clean and autoclean work without having to be called? | 22:38 |
| TJ- | senaps: unless you know something I don't, netplan doesn't deal with netfilter rules, it only deals with configuring the interfaces | 22:39 |
| TJ- | MWM: yes, but 'clean' means to remove downloaded .deb packages, which means if you want to re-install at any time the package has to be re-fetched | 22:40 |
| TJ- | MWM: it removes the .deb files from /var/cache/apt/archives/ | 22:40 |
| yosefrow | MWM, yes if you ran my commands and you do not want/need these configurations and did not have them installed previously you can remove the files with rm /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99always-clean-dselect /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99always-clean-apt /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99force-ipv4 /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99reduce-timeout /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99pipelining-off | 22:40 |
| senaps | TJ-, well, i have my vbox second interface as nat, it would work if it was first interface, but not as second interface! any suggestions on how to fix that? ubuntu server 17.10 | 22:40 |
| CalicoFlows | akik, ... if you're not tired of me, haha. Everyime I open TerminatorX it says that it needs access to the mouse. I do sudo chmod -R 777 /dev/input/mice but I need to do that every time I reboot. How can I set that once and it sticks? | 22:41 |
| TJ- | senaps: what do you mean "as nat" | 22:41 |
| MWM | lets just say I am definately foin to save those ina file until google and I can know exacly what they mean. Seems like something I might actually want | 22:41 |
| TJ- | CalicoFlows: sounds like a job for a custom udev rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/ | 22:41 |
| senaps | virtual box network interface mode. i can select nat, bridged or host-network thing. | 22:41 |
| senaps | the interface is NAT, and it doesn't give me internet. i should select the first interface as NAT type to have internet. | 22:42 |
| MWM | but once again, thank you guys for your help. *buntu gets me riled up some days :) | 22:42 |
| TJ- | senaps: you need to explain your scenario more. Is this an Ubuntu host on which you've got VirtualBox hypervisor, and you're deploying a guest OS which is configured using netplan? | 22:43 |
| MWM | senaps: if you select "bridged" then you will get assigned an IP from DHCP on your router. Depending on what you are doing this canbe helpful | 22:43 |
| MWM | You will still have NAT at the router and it will be easier to talk to others machines on your local network | 22:44 |
| senaps | ubuntu 17.10 host, has a virtual box, within it, i have a ubuntu 17.10 server.it has 2 interfaces, first is host-only adaptor, and second is nat. i have configured netplan for the first, am looking for how to do it for second interface. | 22:45 |
| senaps | i don't want to use bridge i like the nat thing. | 22:45 |
| MWM | Its your call, but I cant think of any advantages to using NAT on a VM. Just seems to needlessly complicate things IMO. Puts your VM on a different network segment than every other machine | 22:46 |
| MWM | but I dont know if that is neccessary for you or not. often it is just a bother to me. Good luck :D | 22:47 |
| TJ- | senaps: well, inside the Guest 'NAT' has no meaning. Use netplan to define the 2nd interface as you do the 1st, whether static or DHCP IP address, gateway, etc. The masquerading (NAT) is done on the host using netfilters | 22:47 |
| pr3c0g | some powerline expert around ? | 22:49 |
| senaps | TJ-, okay, i fixed it!!! silly me.... now, is there a way to permanently down the interface and just UP it when i need ?(ifconfig enp0s8 up) thing for netplan? | 22:50 |
| akik | CalicoFlows: is it a usb mouse? | 22:51 |
| TJ- | senaps: check the "man netplan" :) | 22:51 |
| akik | CalicoFlows: i wrote some notes about the custom udev rules you could follow: https://atkdinosaurus.wordpress.com/2018/01/16/how-to-create-custom-udev-rules-for-usb-devices/ it's a bit involved | 22:52 |
| akik | CalicoFlows: where you see the "RUN+=" you could run the chmod | 22:52 |
| respawn1 | hello. Does anyone know how to make Samba sharing faster on Ubuntu server? I'm getting less than 10 Mb/s | 22:55 |
| === captain_fixerpc1 is now known as captainfixerpc14 | ||
| CalicoFlows | akik, well :) I scratch both with the trackpad and with a usb mouse. When set the rights for /dev/input/mice works on both | 22:56 |
| akik | CalicoFlows: there's also /etc/rc.local which gets executed once on boot-up | 22:58 |
| CalicoFlows | so instead of RUN+="/usr/bin/touch /tmp/usb-cardreader" = RUN+="chmord -R 777 /dev/input/mice" correct? | 22:58 |
| akik | CalicoFlows: if you want to use that, run "sudo chmod +x /etc/rc.local" and then edit it. it's just a script file | 22:58 |
| TJ- | akik: s/chmord/chmod/ :) | 22:58 |
| akik | CalicoFlows: yes | 22:59 |
| yosefrow | TJ-, what does sudo apt full-upgrade do vs apt dist-upgrade? | 22:59 |
| CalicoFlows | akik, rc.local seems simpler. So, I should add the chmod line to that file? | 23:00 |
| akik | CalicoFlows: yes, it gets executed as root | 23:00 |
| TJ- | yosefrow: it's the same; apt doesn't actually support dist-upgrade but it passes it through to apt-get | 23:00 |
| yosefrow | good to know | 23:00 |
| yosefrow | TJ-, thanks man | 23:01 |
| CalicoFlows | akik, and that's where I add whatever I want executed on boot, regardless of what it's about? | 23:01 |
| akik | CalicoFlows: everything you put there gets executed | 23:01 |
| akik | CalicoFlows: just put them before the exit 0 | 23:02 |
| CalicoFlows | '/etc/rc.local': No such file or directory | 23:02 |
| CalicoFlows | ;/ | 23:02 |
| CalicoFlows | create? | 23:02 |
| akik | CalicoFlows: weird | 23:03 |
| akik | CalicoFlows: what ubuntu version is that? | 23:04 |
| akik | don't say arch or fedora | 23:04 |
| CalicoFlows | akik, I don't know how to check, but must be the latest | 23:04 |
| CalicoFlows | lol | 23:04 |
| akik | CalicoFlows: lsb_release -a | 23:04 |
| CalicoFlows | slackware and some numbers | 23:05 |
| CalicoFlows | :D | 23:05 |
| CalicoFlows | Ubuntu 17.10 | 23:05 |
| akik | could somebody check 17.10 /etc/rc.local ? | 23:06 |
| friedman | where can i follow along on kernel version talks for bionic? i stupidly upgraded to hardware that isnt supported until 4.15 :( | 23:06 |
| akik | CalicoFlows: you can also check yourself "systemctl | grep rc-local" | 23:08 |
| akik | i fear ubuntu has removed it | 23:08 |
| CalicoFlows | akik, notihng happened | 23:08 |
| TJ- | akik: it doesn't exist since there's no sysvinit | 23:08 |
| akik | TJ-: it's not dependent on sysv init | 23:09 |
| CalicoFlows | TJ-, is there another way to execute lines on boot? | 23:09 |
| akik | TJ-: there's a systemd service for it in 16.04 | 23:09 |
| TJ- | akik: it's created by initscripts | 23:09 |
| akik | so they just removed it? what's the replacement? | 23:10 |
| akik | i'm >< this close on dumping ubuntu | 23:10 |
| TJ- | akik: systemd units | 23:11 |
| akik | TJ-: in 16.04, it's a proper system service in /lib/systemd/system/rc-local.service | 23:12 |
| akik | it doesn't do much, but it's there | 23:12 |
| akik | systemd: /lib/systemd/system/rc-local.service | 23:13 |
| akik | CalicoFlows: ok no rc.local for you then | 23:14 |
| CalicoFlows | ;/ and don't dump ubuntu please lol | 23:15 |
| TJ- | CalicoFlows: udev rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/ makes most sense since it's where we expect changes to device nodes to be made | 23:16 |
| CalicoFlows | TJ-, ...can't figure it out, can you give me some more tips? | 23:21 |
| CalicoFlows | The thing is, a lot of the time when I google stuff, only issues and bigs come up... instead of how to's | 23:21 |
| CalicoFlows | Couldn't I just put that line in a executable file, that works for me too | 23:22 |
| TJ- | CalicoFlows: then later when it breaks and you've forgotten all about it, or it creates some other issue, an engineer looking for the cause probably won't find it - whereas checking for udev rules would be an obvious step | 23:26 |
| skylardurden | Hey everyone! | 23:27 |
| CalicoFlows | TJ-, I can run it manually, that wouldn't bother me. So I put chmord -R 777 /dev/mice/input in a .txt file and have made it executable... I guess I have to make it run as root, but I don't know how to do that. Also, it is a .txt, will it run correctly like this | 23:28 |
| === wellingtonxxl is now known as wellingtonr | ||
| TJ- | CalicoFlows: Why do you need to change it? By default /dev/mice/input is rw by root:input, so why not just "sudo useradd $USER input" so your user is a member of the 'input' group and therefore has read/write access ? | 23:31 |
| CalicoFlows | TJ-, I don't know... I had to this every time I reboot, Googled, found something that worked, so I stuck with it. So, sudo useradd calico input or sudo useradd calic /dev/input/mice ? | 23:34 |
| === ibttis is now known as barrenwuffet | ||
| TJ- | CalicoFlows: exactly as I typed it, no interpretation required | 23:36 |
| TJ- | CalicoFlows: then next time the user logs in they'll be a member of 'input' group and have r/w access | 23:36 |
| CalicoFlows | TJ-, nice!! So is that the output I am supposed to see https://i.imgur.com/sGiJiCH.png | 23:38 |
| CalicoFlows | asking cause it seems a bit odd, more like a --help | 23:38 |
| TJ- | CalicoFlows: hmmm, no! let me check my typing! | 23:40 |
| SemiNus | re | 23:40 |
| SemiNus | I was here before, asking about deactivating my wifi card | 23:41 |
| TJ- | CalicoFlows: typical, I always get the words back to front. It should be "sudo adduser $USER input" | 23:41 |
| SemiNus | and now I cannot get my new USB wifi adapter to work :( | 23:41 |
| SemiNus | # modprobe 8188eu.ko | 23:41 |
| SemiNus | modprobe: FATAL: Module 8188eu.ko not found in directory /lib/modules/4.8.0-59-generic | 23:41 |
| TJ- | CalicoFlows: there's a low-level tool 'useradd' and the friendlier Debian-created 'adduser' | 23:41 |
| SemiNus | I checked, but there is a module | 23:41 |
| SemiNus | it's in: | 23:41 |
| CalicoFlows | TJ-, Done. Thanks! | 23:42 |
| SemiNus | /lib/modules/4.8.0-59-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/8188eu.ko | 23:42 |
| TJ- | SemiNus: try "sudo depmod -a" first then try the modprobe again | 23:42 |
| TJ- | SemiNus: if you blacklisted that module it won't load, check with "grep -n 8188eu /etc/modprobe.d/* " | 23:43 |
| SemiNus1 | re | 23:44 |
| SemiNus1 | sorry | 23:44 |
| SemiNus1 | TJ-, I saw your message: | 23:44 |

| SemiNus1 | then I got disconnected | 23:44 |

| SmokinGrunts | hrmmmmmm. I have an issue suddenly with context-menus showing a greyed-font, when the menu-item isn't actually grey. I've been on winsux for the past few weeks, finally got to switch back to ubuntu, and updated everything. I *think* it's java related... any ideas? | 23:45 |
| SemiNus1 | # grep -n 8188eu /etc/modprobe.d/* | 23:45 |
| SemiNus1 | /etc/modprobe.d/50-8188eu.conf:1:blacklist r8188eu | 23:45 |
| SemiNus1 | does this mean it's blacklisted? | 23:46 |
| SemiNus1 | I did not do that | 23:46 |
| TJ- | SemiNus1: Looks like it, although that name as an "r" in front - probably an alias, which you can check with "modinfo -F alias 8818eu" | 23:47 |
| SemiNus1 | # modinfo -F alias 8818eu | 23:47 |
| SemiNus1 | modinfo: ERROR: Module 8818eu not found. | 23:47 |
| TJ- | SemiNus1: right, so have you got the correct name? "modinfo r8188eu" | 23:48 |

| SmokinGrunts | OOH that's weird, I can't screenshot with a context-menu open now... | 23:50 |
| SmokinGrunts | ok here's a screen of my issue, if anyone has suggestions I'm all ears | 23:52 |
