[00:07] just answering ur question soz got distracted been changing nappies [00:07] helpplease: oooh... ok, well the testdisk backups I'm unsure of how to restore [00:08] suger [00:08] any ideas tools you know how to use then [00:09] just putting a call out as well anyone know how to use test disk [00:09] need help restoring a bup [00:14] anybody know how to use test disk [00:15] need help with a backup [00:15] I'm all rsync and dd, sorry [00:15] darn [00:16] does anyone know how to restore a former partition table i have a hd i need data from [00:16] my table is all messed up by urs truely [00:42] I have followed the SimpleSbuild wiki instructions. I am trying to build a source package. When I run sbuild -d artful my-package_0.0.0~artful.dsc, sbuild bails immediately with E: 10mount: mount: /run/schroot/mount/artful-amd64-ec56a701...: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on artful-amd64, missing codepage or helper program, or other error. [00:48] KombuchaKip: just to be sure, you did already do a `mk-sbuild` etc? [00:48] nacc: Yes [00:48] nacc: mk-sbuild artful [00:49] nacc: I have an encrypted home directory and a RAID1 setup. I wonder if that has something to do with it? [00:49] nacc: Adding --verbose to sbuild doesn't reveal anything more. [00:49] KombuchaKip: it shouldn't, sbuild's schroots don't reallly care about your existing fs [00:49] KombuchaKip: it uses bind mounts for those, if anything [00:50] nacc: Any ideas? [00:50] KombuchaKip: thinking [00:53] KombuchaKip: schroot -i | grep 'Filesystem Union Type'? [00:53] nacc: Four matching lines of 'Filesystem Union Type aufs' [00:53] KombuchaKip: mand what version of ubuntu are you on? [00:53] KombuchaKip: and what does `grep aufs /proc/filesystems` say? [00:53] nacc: Artful [00:54] KombuchaKip: i think on artful it should be overlay not aufs [00:54] nacc: $ grep aufs /proc/filesystems [00:54] nodev aufs [00:54] nacc: $ schroot -c artful-amd64 -u root [00:54] E: 10mount: mount: /run/schroot/mount/artful-amd64-1768...: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on artful-amd64, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.

[01:02] KombuchaKip: https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/notes/debian/sbuild.html ? [01:02] KombuchaKip: i don't know, I don't have the combination of configurations [01:03] nacc: Worst case could I create a chroot on an ext4 formatted usb stick? [01:03] KombuchaKip: sure, or in a tmpfs [01:03] i believe the tmpfs option is mentioned on the wiki [01:03] nacc: Yeah, I'll try that. [01:04] nacc: Step 11. Can I do that after my schroots are already generated? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SimpleSbuild#Creating_the_schroots [01:05] Question: if I'm deep inside a directory structure, and I need to temporarily go somewhere else, is there a way I can very rapidly get back to where I was, instead of a long "cd a/b/c/..." command? [01:05] da7niel: cd - [01:05] ahh thanks! [01:06] da7niel: np [01:07] KombuchaKip: i think so? [01:07] da7niel: pushd/popd might be more useful if you are doing a lot of directory traversals [01:07] da7niel: cd - just goes 'back' to where you were (OLDCWD) [01:07] nacc: I'll look into that [01:09] nacc: It appears to work. This tmpfs file system only uses memory during the build and then is automatically cleaned up? I've set it to 75% RAM which as I understand it is a maximum only for during build? === dingir___ is now known as dingir_ [01:31] Cryptsetup question: I reboot without unmounting or doing cryptsetup luksClose. Now...my password wont work. Is there anything I can do ? [01:35] KombuchaKip: right, that should be true === jje_ is now known as jje [01:35] nacc: Thank you. [01:35] nacc: Works like a charm now. Well, kind of. My package isn't building, but that's not sbuild's problem. [01:36] KombuchaKip: nice [01:36] KombuchaKip: interesting point on the btrfs thing, i really didn't know it was a problem [01:36] nacc: That makes two of us. [01:36] Oh darn, I forgot to say hello to randall [01:36] * KombuchaKip waves at randall [01:37] wait...whut? [01:37] * KombuchaKip scratches his head and wonders if randall is the same randall from Vancouver? [01:38] nope, North Carolina [01:39] * KombuchaKip waves anyways [01:39] * randall waves back [01:48] bit of a stupid question but what terminal program do you use that shows the colored ubuntu logo in ASCII?

[02:11] hi [02:11] macgeek312, you're probably going to need to google around, that's an oddly specific question for a very specific thing, I mean, nothing wrong with asking here, but it's unlikely anyone will just randomly have the answer. [02:11] Hi, I can't seem to start my 16.04 system - I have 4.13-0-32 but it can't mount the rootfs at boot [02:13] crond: I suppose the more general question is how to compile your own Samba version the way the package maintainer would lol [02:14] Trying to apt-get remove the generic image says I should reinstall before attempting removal, and trying to install says I should reinstall before attempting configuration [02:20] Fingers crossed that --force-remove-reinstreq works... [02:24] nacc: After I rebooted I noticed the /dev/shm/schroot/overlay/ directory is gone. How can I ensure that it's automatically created when the builds are performed in /dev/shm ? [02:25] Seems to be OK so far, let's see [02:26] nacc: I'm assuming I have to put something in /etc/rc.local [02:32] OK, looks good. dpkg --purge --force-remove-reinstreq linux-image-extra-4.13.0-32-generic solved it for me [02:32] Ditto for without the -extra- [02:33] But doing that should require a safety harness and a hard hat. === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash [02:46] hello [02:48] Hi. Ubuntu uses the shortcut < Alt + Left Mouse Click > to move the window. I need this shortcut for a game. How can I "clear" this shortcut, so I can use it in the game? Thanks [02:51] You go to settings and shortcuts and change it [02:52] Should be under keyboard (at least on unity|gnome) [02:53] kenrin: I can find keyboard shortcuts but not mouse shortcuts [02:55] Oh that one, you got to modify it with gsettings [02:56] gnome-tweak-tool under windows [02:56] Window action key is the one you want [03:00] &hello [03:00] [03:09] * icedwater bows and leaves. [03:12] hey all. so i just tried twice to install ubuntu using gnome boxes and both times it just reboots into the live environment. any ideas? [03:13] remove your live medium first [03:13] You should try poking around the preferences for the virtual machine you just installed and edit the boot order. It might just be booting off of the .iso file first. [03:13] Did it install? Change the boot order or remove the iso [03:14] your bios/uefi is prioritising your install mefium over your hard drive [03:14] ok i removed the iso, now it just fails to start [03:22] anyone know of any problems with installing 16.04 using boxes? [03:27] kachow!!!! [03:28] trying another angle then - has anyone successfully installed ubuntu 16 using gnome boxes? [03:30] ctpccll: I am using xubuntu here -- sorry [03:31] blue1: in gnome boxes? [03:31] ctpccll: not recently -- It has been awile [03:31] and not gnome [03:32] I don't know about gnome boxes, virt-manager works great and uses the same backend [03:32] boxes I think hides a lot of the options last I used it anyway [03:32] i literally just want a default ubuntu installation in a virtual machine [03:33] by boxes do yu mean container maybe? [03:33] sheesh my typing suxs tonight [03:33] No, boxes is the front end for KVM|Qemu [03:33] kenrin: thanks [03:33] You can try virt-manager, it is simple [03:34] kenrin: just installed it.. 'no active connection to install on' [03:34] You got libvirtd running? [03:35] not so simple:) [03:35] i assume so if it uses the same backend as boxes [03:36] Well check [03:36] yeah [03:37] If it is running you should just be able to right click and connect to QEMU [03:37] anyone familiar with OMD? im trying to figure out the fastest/eastiest/most efficient way to add 35 hosts to monitor [03:39] well that's remarkably frustrating :) [03:39] i have e.g. a windows install working in boxes, i'm really surprised ubuntu can't cope [03:55] last desperate plea for help getting ubuntu installed in boxes? [04:15] lo [04:15] Hello I mean [04:16] Hi Neuthrone [04:16] Welcome to fun land my child [04:17] Hello aiden [04:17] How ya doing? [04:17] I am doing well [04:17] Good, good.

does anyone knows why wifi card doesn't seem to work on brand newly install ubuntu 16.04 of dell latitude e6230 "which is already confirmed compatible with linux". This is the second laptop of hte same model I face the same problem with. so it's confirmed not faulty hardware. [04:23] I actually have a question relating to System7 [04:23] System76 [04:24] My case on my 2015 Oryx Pro has been broken for a few months...does anyone know where I can buy a case for an Oryx Pro past from System76 themselves? I heard they were Sager cases...but I just want to be sure. [04:24] Li: do you know which card is in there? [04:25] Neuthrone: This isn't ##hardware either. [04:25] Is there a way to send a signal or communicate with a running rsync process to get some data that may help to track progress for presenting a gui progress indicator? [04:27]

deww: not sure .. what command to list the network device? I've used lshw | grep network and returned.. network disabled! [04:29] good morning to all [04:29] Li: lshw works. [04:30] Li: lspci might too [04:31] Li: check that your laptop doesn't have a physical wifi switch to turn it off [04:36]

deww: it's a physical switch and it's turned on, lspci returned many stuff including broadcom bcm43228 .11a/b/g/n [04:37] broadcom is notorious for having terrible support for linux [04:37]

the wifi network in the house is .11g [04:37] im trying to solve this bug guys: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-hwe/+bug/1749237 im now at the step i cant make this persistent at boot [04:37] Launchpad bug 1749237 in linux-hwe (Ubuntu) "External usb 3.0 harddisk not detected by default on 16.04.3" [Undecided,New] [04:37] Li: maybe ths https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [04:38] Li: have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras ? [04:39]

deww: I'll try reinstalling that ... [04:40]

lotuspsychje: of course not since I was not able to access the wifi and has no cable connection .. I will try later with cable [04:42] Li: the ubuntu live(usb/cd) also holds the broadcom driver you can grab it from there offline [04:42] Li:somewhere in /pool or something [04:46] I've just received this error after upgrading to Ubuntu 18.04 . Any ideas? Using AVStream.codec to pass codec parameters to muxers is deprecated, use AVStream.codecpar instead. [04:47]

lotuspsychje: that is good news .. anymore info on how to go about it? [04:47]

is it just copy and paste? [04:48]

aha I see bcmwl-kernel there [04:48] Li: yeah install that package from there [04:49]

with dpkg -i ... right? [04:49] RonWhoCares: #ubuntu+1 for bionic ; ) [04:49] Li: you can just click the package to open with software center [04:52]

installed and restarted network-manager service but still able not able to see the wifi signal [04:53]

do I have to install the restricted/i packages too? [04:55] watch -n1 iwconfig [04:55] Li: you can try with restricted too yeah === HappyHotDog is now known as RocketHotDog [05:18] ey people, does anybody of you know how to produce musik with linux??

oops ... sorry it works now I forgot it switched off [05:21]

perfect .. thanks guys [05:22] studio69, if you're doing audio production on Ubuntu, you might want to look at the Ubuntu Studio distro, which is modified for lower latency [05:22] Also check out JACK audio [05:22] It is better than Pulse for managing all your hookups [05:23] Kon-: +1 [05:23] bloodyhell: you want data rescue on that hd?

[07:16] And sure. :) [07:19] Hi. Xubuntu issue here but I believe I have an issue which would apply to everyone; who's got experience using swapspace as provided from Ubuntu's repos? [07:19] s/issue/user [07:20] (For reference: http://pqxx.org/development/swapspace/) [07:20] tiox: Just ask the actual question. [07:21] I did; I have not much experience with this and I am on a tiny, tiny install where fixed swap space wouldn't be the best thing for my configuration, so I saw swapspace as an option for a dynamic swap in case I happen to need swap space. [07:22] I guess the first thing I am confused with is if after installing swapspace, whether or not its daemon is handled by root. [07:23] So after having installed it, would swapspace run on system startup or after login as a process controlled by root? [07:26] Found out I've used aptitude and 'apt' for my whole life without really getting down to the details of what they do (besides the obvious, installing a new software package) :-) [07:26] never too late to learn more [07:26] tiox: looks like it runs at boot, take a look at /etc/init.d/swapspace [07:27] That's all the reassurance I need with that. [07:27] Now, was it alright to swapoff and dlete my swapfile which came with the Ubuntu install, under assuption swapspace will handle everything? [07:28] delete* [07:28] tiox: i'm not familiar with it, but try looking at the man page? === Zren_ is now known as Zren [07:33] tiox: the package description says 'Claims disk space for use as swap space when needed', so i'm guessing it will handle everything by itself [07:33] tiox: if you remove the swapfile, though, remember to also remove it from /etc/fstab (and /etc/crypttab if it is encrypted) [07:35] I want to automate this command "sudo xinput --disable 12" at boot, 12 is my faulty fixed device, how to do it on 16.04? was trying to write a systemd unit for this but not working [07:36] pavlushka: do you need to enter a password for sudo? [07:37] ducasse: yes but if ran by root does it need that? [07:38] pavlushka: it needs to run as your userid to connect to your x session, so it also needs to run after x has started [07:43] ducasse: so what will be the "after=" in this case? [07:43] in systemd unit [07:44] pavlushka: it's not really easy to do this from a systemd unit, if you stop sudo from asking for a password for xinput you can just run it from ~/.xsessionrc [07:45] ducasse: ok, let me try that and FYI it is my shorted laptop keyboard. [07:49] /quit [07:49] pavlushka: be careful when editing sudoers, use visudo to avoid locking yourself out from root access [07:49] pavlushka: I'd hazard that you don't really need 'sudo' for this. [07:51] ducasse: krytarik yep, no i dont need sudo to execute that command as I see it [07:51] so kinda good news then [07:52] Yeah, makes it much easier indeed. :) [07:52] pavlushka: good, then just put it in ~/.xsessionrc [08:12] hello [08:17] ducasse: yeah, that worked, thanks [08:17] pavlushka: np === r0Oter is now known as r00ter [08:22] ducasse: and one more thing, I tried to run that "xinput" command on an ssh session replied "unable to connect to x session", any workaround?

[08:42] hi all, im trying to compile a c++ program as ' g++ -v -I. -std=c++11 main.cpp ' and I keep getting a bunch of errors saying "in function lmdb::enc_create():main.cpp: undefined reference to mdb_env_create " [08:43] it seems this is referring to the liblmdb-dev library that i need to link against, but ive tried everything to link it and it just wont [08:44] Jack3k3 mdb_env_create is not defined as a method in main.cpp or one of its references...maybe you need to update your path to include the lib path for the method, make sure the headers and source exist in that path for that method [08:44] so you tried that i take it. [08:46] kille, well my program includes lmdb++.h which subsequently uses those functions like mdb_env_create and also includes the file lmdb.h which is where mdb_env_create should be defined [08:46] kille: iirc, by default you should be able to connect without a password if you're root [08:47] so on my system I can see I have /usr/include/lmdb.h and /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/liblmdb.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/liblmdb.a [08:47] kille: worst case you can restart mysqld like so: mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables [08:50] lpmusic tried that, did not work.

Example usage: "/msg Alis list http" [08:51] jack3k3 does your path include the libs folder? i know you can compile as well and add a link folder in the compilation g++ command.
