| davidw93 | Right, so I'm pretty sure I'm overthinking this; regardless, here's my thought process | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| davidw93 | Most of the server config I do as root, but using ssh or git as root is kind of a pain | 00:00 |
| davidw93 | If I give non-root permissions to /srv/git, I open up other people on the server to changing this (which I don't necessarily want) | 00:00 |
| davidw93 | I could restrict access to my account, but this just feels somewhat unclean given that everything else is done as root | 00:00 |
| davidw93 | Again, probably overthinking this | 00:01 |
| babaganoosh | dang......you have to be registered to use ##linux | 00:10 |
| bazhang | babaganoosh, ask on #freenode how to do that | 00:11 |
| spectacular | hello, recently installed ubuntu studio 17.10 on my laptop. it's got horrible lag/ choppiness. It feels to me that it's something to do with the video, i.e. the mouse doesn't respond right away or stops while i'm moving it and then jumps. but i get it from typing text too, the text doesn't appear on the screen right away. i've googled a lot and did what everyone recommends, switching to propriety nvidia drivers, but that hasn't fixed it. anyone know | 00:11 |
| spectacular | what this is and how to fix it? should i downgrade to 17.04, or try 18.04? or is there another easy fix? | 00:11 |
| bazhang | spectacular, there are no downgrades, and 18.04 is not released | 00:11 |
| babaganoosh | thanks....I am too impatient and lazy to bother :-) | 00:11 |
| babaganoosh | 17.10 has been sluggish for me, but not to the degree you describe | 00:13 |
| DiecastMessiah | spectacular: do you know if its a primus type of machine like have a intel and a nvidia chip | 00:13 |
| spectacular | DiecastMessiah, it's an MSI i7 laptop | 00:14 |
| spectacular | bazhang, I know, i'd have to reisntall 17.04 if i couldn't get this to work decently. | 00:14 |
| spectacular | bazhang, and 18.04 is available on the ubuntu website | 00:15 |
| bazhang | spectacular, thats end of life, why would you do that | 00:15 |
| === tfgbd is now known as tfgbd_ | ||
| spectacular | bazhang, i'd rather not, obviously. but my computer isn't really usable in its current state | 00:16 |
| bazhang | spectacular, being eol means no support here | 00:17 |
| bazhang | spectacular, 18.04 discussion is in #ubuntu+1 | 00:17 |
| spectacular | bazhang, for the moment i'm hoping for help getting 17.10 to work as it should | 00:18 |
| Outy | spectacular: sounds like a bad harddrive | 00:20 |
| spectacular | Outy, i doubt that. it worked fine before i put 17.10 on it | 00:21 |
| Outy | spectacular: i know it sounds ridiculous but if hard drive locks due to read/write errors it stalls the whole system like ur description | 00:21 |
| spectacular | any way to test taht? | 00:22 |
| spectacular | Outy, that* | 00:22 |
| Outy | spectacular: one sec pls | 00:22 |
| Outy | spectacular: try sudo smartctl -H /dev/sda | 00:24 |
| Outy | spectacular: try sudo smartctl -x /dev/sda for more infos. especially realloc. sector count or crc erro count | 00:26 |
| spectacular | Outy, ok. i had to install it. did the first one. what exactly do you want to see there? it says 'passed' | 00:27 |
| Outy | spectacular: sda is your first hard drive here ... use sdb sdc sdd for any further harddrives | 00:27 |
| spectacular | i believe it's only using sda | 00:27 |
| Outy | spectacular: try sudo smartctl -x /dev/sda for more infos. especially realloc. sector count or crc erro count | 00:28 |
| spectacular | do we have a pastbin here? | 00:28 |
| Outy | spectacular: should be both 0 | 00:28 |
| DiecastMessiah | for fun if the harddrive seems fine.. try 'glxgears' to see if 3d acc is working | 00:29 |
| Outy | spectacular: for glxgears install mesa-utils | 00:29 |
| spectacular | i have mesa-utils apparently. glxgears returns an error. "xlib: extension "glx" missing on display ":0.0". Error: couldn't get an RGB, double-buffered visual" | 00:31 |
| Outy | spectacular: deinstall nvidia drivers | 00:31 |
| spectacular | that's just running glxgears from mterminal, which i assumed was what you were suggesting | 00:31 |
| DiecastMessiah | yeah the drivers are not working right | 00:31 |
| Outy | spectacular: we had this a few hours ago with another user here | 00:31 |
| Outy | spectacular: are you on lubuntu ??? | 00:31 |
| DiecastMessiah | yes it a test to see if open-gl is working or really the video drivers | 00:32 |
| spectacular | Outy, this is ubuntu studio. with xfce4 | 00:32 |
| Outy | spectacular: deinstall drivers use standard nouveau drivers | 00:33 |
| spectacular | ok doing that | 00:33 |
| spectacular | reboot to test? | 00:34 |
| Outy | spectacular: logoff logon should do it | 00:34 |
| spectacular | it's going to have the same problem though, because when i first installed it was set to nouveau and it was lagging horribly | 00:34 |
| spectacular | Outy, ok, brb | 00:34 |
| spectacular | Outy, i'm back. same problem, possibly slightly worse | 00:36 |
| Outy | spectacular: are you on laptop ? | 00:36 |
| spectacular | Outy, yes | 00:36 |
| Outy | spectacular: is it with nvidia optimus ? | 00:37 |
| spectacular | oh btw glxgears works now | 00:37 |
| DiecastMessiah | msi i7 he said... but what model.. i don;t think optimus but i'll search for yas | 00:37 |
| spectacular | it's nvidia gtx | 00:37 |
| spectacular | nvidia geforce gtx | 00:38 |
| spectacular | the laptop is msi gl6 ms-16j5 | 00:38 |
| DiecastMessiah | optimus is just the setup of the machine they use intel and nvidia chips// meant to save battary power when you not using 3d acc | 00:38 |
| Outy | spectacular: maybe this could help??? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee cause i don't know if your ubuntu media version is demanding drivers that wont work on ur machine | 00:39 |
| Outy | spectacular: but dont use . im not sure if you're on an optimus system | 00:40 |
| spectacular | Outy, ok, other suggestions? | 00:40 |
| Outy | spectacular: not right now... but we know now that its a driver prob | 00:41 |
| DiecastMessiah | yeah it an optimus | 00:43 |
| Outy | so bumblebee could work here | 00:44 |
| DiecastMessiah | try installing bumblebee but if that doesn;t do it no idea what lease to try | 00:44 |
| Outy | spectacular: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee | 00:44 |
| DiecastMessiah | darn i maybe worng | 00:45 |
| Outy | its worth a test | 00:45 |
| spectacular | you sure about that? apt wants to install a whole bunch of i386 things with that | 00:46 |
| Outy | spectacular: never done that. never had nvidia optimus. try at your own risk ;) | 00:48 |
| DiecastMessiah | well the msi gl6 6QF has optimus but cannto find 16j5 maybe it does or doesn;t | 00:48 |
| spectacular | shrug. i'll give it a try then | 00:48 |
| DiecastMessiah | i have but my machine is an i3 with a 310M nvidia chip | 00:48 |
| DiecastMessiah | if it is bumblebee did everything for me | 00:49 |
| DiecastMessiah | its installing the nvidia drivers and everything | 00:49 |
| paul_ | eh | 00:50 |
| DiecastMessiah | but if it doesn;t work i think you can remove it with no problems | 00:50 |
| paul_ | free bsd, is the shit to me | 00:50 |
| paul_ | linux, stick it up in ur ass, you get me? | 00:50 |
| Bashing-om | spectacular: 17.10 defaults to wayland . try the Xorg session: https://itsfoss.com/switch-xorg-wayland/ as wayand dooes not get along too well with nividia . | 00:51 |
| Outy | paul_: i get it ^^ | 00:51 |
| Outy | 17.10 is wayland? i didn't know that... thank god im on 16.04 lts | 00:53 |
| spectacular | Bashing-om, i have xorg. ubuntu studio or xfce4 - one or the other - doesn't use wayland. not sure why. | 00:53 |
| spectacular | but in any case, i'm still on xorg. | 00:53 |
| spectacular | ok bumblebee's installed, i'm gonna reboot. brb | 00:53 |
| paul_ | I'm moving to Ubuntu when 18.04 comes out, because mint isn't adopting wayland and I want in | 00:54 |
| Sven_vB | how come Ubuntu manages to ship with good graphics drivers for my semi-ancient ATI cards but has lots of troubles with my nVidia cards of similar age? | 00:55 |
| Sven_vB | installing nouveau-firmware even lead to worse resolution. :D | 00:55 |
| bazhang | Sven_vB, thats on nvidia not ubuntu | 00:55 |
| bazhang | Sven_vB, contact them and find out | 00:56 |
| Sven_vB | bazhang, would that mean the on other side, it's ATI's work that makes it "just work"? | 00:56 |
| Sven_vB | *on the | 00:57 |
| bazhang | Sven_vB, which amd card are you talking about | 00:57 |
| tomcres | Sven_vB, funny thing is I had the complete opposite experience. I tried opensuse, fedora, debian, and ubuntu and only debian and ubuntu were able to work with my GTX 550 Ti. I was actually impressed with the way ubuntu handled the proprietary driver. That's why I stuck with it. | 00:58 |
| Sven_vB | [AMD/ATI] 264VT [Mach64 VT] (rev 40) | 00:58 |
| Sven_vB | sounds like it's a bit of a roulette which cards will be supported-by-default for how long | 00:59 |
| Sven_vB | is it a license issue, a non-disclosure issue, or just how much effort which vendor invests into which linux distro? | 01:00 |
| bazhang | Sven_vB, the whys and wherefores are a chat channel topic | 01:01 |
| bazhang | perhaps #ubuntu-discuss Sven_vB | 01:01 |
| Sven_vB | ok, I'll ask there then. | 01:02 |
| bazhang | thanks | 01:02 |
| stvn | i need to master the free software | 01:02 |
| bazhang | !rute | stvn | 01:03 |
| ubottu | stvn: documentation is to be found at https://help.ubuntu.com and https://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - https://www.andrew.cmu.edu/course/95-799/rute.pdf | 01:03 |
| bazhang | start with those stvn | 01:03 |
| stvn | ty | 01:03 |
| bazhang | welcome | 01:03 |
| spectacular | well that was "interesting"... trying to install bumblebee broke the whole thing | 01:08 |
| spectacular | i had to boot from my install usb, which fortunately i still have | 01:09 |
| spectacular | got stuck right after the grub screen before doing anything. | 01:09 |
| spectacular | Outy, DiecastMessiah, are you guys still around? | 01:11 |
| DiecastMessiah | darn sorry man. | 01:11 |
| spectacular | i need to remember how to recover while booted up from the usb. chroot, right? | 01:11 |
| spectacular | been a while since i've done that. | 01:11 |
| spectacular | although before i do any of that, i may be able to figure out what was going wrong to begin with. because i'm noticing that booted up from the usb i'm not having the lag problems. | 01:12 |
| spectacular | so, if it actually was something to do with the hard drive, maybe i should try reinstalling doing a full wipe-out and reformat of that hard drive. | 01:12 |
| DiecastMessiah | i think you could fix it from the console termial. with the right commands | 01:12 |
| grkblood13 | I have a 32GB SSD that got formatted weird and now I can only see 3.8 GB of it. How do I fix this? | 01:13 |
| grkblood13 | I tried dding if with /dev/zero but it only goes up to the 3.8 GBs | 01:14 |
| DiecastMessiah | if you going to do a full reinstall i would say go with 16.04 .. but i think you cannot remove all the bumblebee stuff and nvidia drivers from the recovery console | 01:15 |
| spectacular | you'd recommend 16.04 over one of the 17's? | 01:15 |
| spectacular | also please answer me this - why when booting from the usb there's no lag problem. a few more details: in order to get it to do this i need to use 'nomodeset' from the additional options in the boot screen when booting from the usb. | 01:16 |
| spectacular | i guess that was just one more detail. i don't remember what the other details were. | 01:16 |
| spectacular | :) | 01:16 |
| === alpha is now known as Guest9909 | ||
| Outy | spectacular: go with 16.04 im too tired right now for debugging *mesleepy* | 01:19 |
| DiecastMessiah | well i am a newbie but i think LST like 16.04 is better for newer users because its more stable.. 17 is new and is only supported for 9 months.. all the bugs are not worked out.. so unless you really know what you are doing ..like me better to stay away from | 01:19 |
| Outy | spectacular: chrootig should work but 16.04 is a good idea | 01:19 |
| spectacular | oh, yes. I do believe you all when you say there's something wrong with the nvidia stuff, because of the following: before I installed 17.10, I had 18.04 installed. yes, it's a pre-release. yes, i know. i probably shouldn't have done that. but, it was working absolutely great until friday morning, when the computer asked me to upgrade software ('partial upgrade' - probably a bad sign, in retrospect) , and i let it do it. it then asked me to reboot | 01:19 |
| spectacular | to finish the installation, and on reboot i couldn't get into the gui. poking around in the logs, it appeared to be an nvidia thing. i tried everything, and nothing would fix it, and the people in the #ubuntu+1 channel gave me hell for trying a prerelease version without knowing what i was doing. | 01:19 |
| bazhang | spectacular, thats the channel to keep it in, not here | 01:20 |
| spectacular | bazhang, you haven't read what i wrote | 01:20 |
| bazhang | spectacular, sure I did | 01:21 |
| spectacular | anyway, I guess I'll take your guys recommendations and switch it back to 16.04 | 01:21 |
| DiecastMessiah | he is on 17.10 he was only saying he tried 18.04 | 01:21 |
| Outy | bazhang: you're rigth but pls let him speak it's still a ubuntu help conversation here | 01:22 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | hi | 01:22 |
| bazhang | Outy, you are welcome to join #ubuntu+1 , it | 01:22 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | any one know dev is mount durring "/etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-bottom" | 01:22 |
| spectacular | bazhang, Outy, i'm not on 18.04, that was just my history | 01:22 |
| bazhang | not topical here until release Outy | 01:22 |
| spectacular | i'm not on 18.04 what is going on here? | 01:23 |
| Outy | no prob | 01:23 |
| Outy | spectacular: ok so like we mentioned pls try 16.04 | 01:23 |
| bazhang | spectacular, no need for your history like that, you've decided on a 16.04 install, thats great | 01:23 |
| Outy | bazhang: ah ok didn't know that - sorry | 01:24 |
| Outy | darkdrgn2k4: pls be more precise about what you're trying to achieve or what you wanna do... what is the question here ? | 01:27 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | im workign on modifying an overlay script to mount a partition instead of tmpfs | 01:27 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | https://github.com/jacobalberty/root-ro/blob/e8dda1dd8f6df16b0a37e4609ae2696df01986ad/root-ro#L196 | 01:28 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | specificly that linme | 01:28 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | its run as part of init | 01:28 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | can i replace tmpfs with like /dev/mmcp0b3 | 01:28 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | uhh /dev/mmcblk0p3 | 01:28 |
| Outy | darkdrgn2k4: i don't know much about that but now we can imagine ... maybe somebody can help with that | 01:28 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | question was, durring init portion of the boot is /dev mounted | 01:29 |
| spectacular | downloading 16.04 | 01:29 |
| Outy | spectacular: =) | 01:29 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | or how i can get some logs back (i dont have a terminal to see the logs) | 01:29 |
| Outy | darkdrgn2k4: i'm not 1337 at linux but tmpfs is specified in fstab, but it could be im misunderstanding your prob here | 01:31 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | Outy, tmpfs can be mounted anywhere its a quick wya to make a ramdisk | 01:31 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | the concept of the overlay was to write all chagned to a ramdisk across the os. so every reboot is a "clean slatE" | 01:31 |
| owen1 | I am trying to erase the content of my usb drive. i run this command sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc bs=4k && sync but i get 'dd: error writing '/dev/sdc': No space left on device'. any tips? | 01:33 |
| owen1 | (i don't mind a complete format btw) | 01:34 |
| Outy | owen1: broken usb drive | 01:34 |
| ulysses | How do you set a theme for Flatpak apps in Ubuntu? | 01:34 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | isnt that by design | 01:34 |
| strive | owen1: That will fill up the drive it seems; not erase it? | 01:35 |
| owen1 | strive: oh...how do i erase it? | 01:35 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | cause /dev/zero is endless and it will eventualy run out of space | 01:35 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | since oyu dont have a count= paramater | 01:35 |
| owen1 | Outy: i can use that drive so i don't think it's broken | 01:35 |
| Outy | strive: yes it will fill it with 0 zeroes | 01:35 |
| owen1 | strive: i am following this guide: https://askubuntu.com/questions/198065/how-to-format-a-usb-drive | 01:35 |
| Outy | owen1: | 01:35 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | owen1, it just means it reached the end and cant go any further | 01:36 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | owen1, AKA it completed the task | 01:36 |
| Outy | owen1: syntax is right | 01:36 |
| owen1 | darkdrgn2k4: oh. sweet | 01:36 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | owen1: you can check by doing hexdump /dev/sdc | 01:36 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | you will see 00000 00000 00 ... one line | 01:36 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | if you only see one line that means the next like is also 0 and the one after that etc. | 01:36 |
| owen1 | yup! | 01:36 |
| owen1 | one line only | 01:37 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | if there was anything other then 00 it would write it out | 01:37 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | (if you want to wait till the end to make sure0 | 01:37 |
| owen1 | 0000000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 | 01:37 |
| Outy | owen1: ok so it took some time untlis this message... then its not broken... next time add status=progress to commandline | 01:37 |
| owen1 | * | 01:37 |
| owen1 | got it | 01:37 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | personal yi like ddresuce :P | 01:37 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | its prittier | 01:37 |
| owen1 | so my usb stick is not empty yet. it's just filled with 000 | 01:39 |
| Outy | darkdrgn2k4: ddrescue is for rescue ^^ | 01:39 |
| spectacular | ok dumb question here for you Outy, so sorry in advance... but since it's gonna take another 30 minutes on the download anyway just thought I'd ask... so if i'm booting on the live usb and it seems to be working nicely, would running the 'install ubuntu' thing that's located here on the desktop install it with all the current, working settings? or not necessarily, and i'll just end up with the same problems as before? | 01:39 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | owen1, well what you consider empty? | 01:39 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | owen1, 0 is "null" | 01:39 |
| Outy | darkdrgn2k4: 0 is empty | 01:39 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | Outy, yes but its prittier | 01:39 |
| Outy | owen1: 0 is totally empty it will not get any emptier ^^ | 01:39 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | owen1, if you want to USE it it cant be "empty" it needs a filesystem on it | 01:40 |
| owen1 | i guess i want to get rid of the partitions as well. so i should format it | 01:40 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | owen1, kida like if you go to a library and its an empty room you really cant find a book.. you need shelves and stuff | 01:40 |
| owen1 | sudo fdisk /dev/sdc | 01:40 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | owen1, fdisk??? | 01:40 |
| owen1 | yeah. | 01:40 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | so now make a partition | 01:40 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | and format it | 01:40 |
| Outy | owen1: use gparted its a gui | 01:41 |
| owen1 | i am going to hit 'o' | 01:41 |
| owen1 | for DOS | 01:41 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | id use c :P | 01:41 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | n | 01:41 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | p | 01:41 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | 1 c enter etner ente neter | 01:42 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | i think | 01:42 |
| owen1 | wait, i should not hit 'o'? | 01:42 |
| owen1 | i think i want ext4 as file system | 01:43 |
| owen1 | it's just a storage device. usb stick. | 01:43 |
| Outy | spectacular: sometimes you can uncheck "install updates" in background during install, so everything should run smooth | 01:43 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | the 82 | 01:43 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | i think its | 01:44 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | n p 1 82 enter enter enter w q | 01:44 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | then mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdc1 | 01:44 |
| spectacular | Outy, ah. so, then i'd never be able to do upgrades unless i wanted to risk breaking my system. then again i'm not sure why i'd do upgrades ever again, once i get a system working the way i like it i should just stay with that until i have a compelling reason to upgrade. | 01:44 |
| Outy | spectacular: but you could just do a backup before updating... im using the free veeam for linux. its very good and very fast | 01:46 |
| owen1 | darkdrgn2k4: what's 82? the question is First sector (2048-30031249, default 2048) | 01:46 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | type | 01:46 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | for sectors just push enter | 01:46 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | it will create a full-disk size one | 01:46 |
| Outy | spectacular: you should read the man (pdf) and try it =) | 01:46 |
| spectacular | Outy, got a link? | 01:46 |
| Outy | spectacular: https://www.veeam.com/linux-backup-free.html | 01:47 |
| Outy | spectacular: it will make a 1:1 image of our system and supports incemental backups (snapshots) etc | 01:48 |
| spectacular | very cool. thanks! | 01:48 |
| Outy | spectacular: you have to register to download... but thats all | 01:48 |
| owen1 | darkdrgn2k4: before i continue, can you take a look at the drive i am trying to format? it's sdc - http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/KwK3sMDzVJ/ | 01:49 |
| spectacular | i'm also thinking that this time around i will keep my home directory as its own separate partition, so that when i do installs or upgrades etc i won't have to touch that | 01:49 |
| Outy | spectacular: be sure to read the manual before using | 01:49 |
| owen1 | i am not sure if i should hit 'n' at first since n means add a new partition | 01:49 |
| Outy | spectacular: sounds good | 01:49 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | sdc looks wierd :P | 01:49 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | what do you want to do | 01:50 |
| owen1 | darkdrgn2k4: i installed bootable ubuntu on it. | 01:50 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | now you want to wipe it? | 01:50 |
| owen1 | i want to delete everything and use my usb as a storage. | 01:50 |
| owen1 | yes | 01:50 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | ok | 01:50 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | so just fidks it | 01:50 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | n p 1 | 01:50 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | when it askes for type do 82 | 01:50 |

| owen1 | after the 1 | 01:51 |
| owen1 | should i hit w? | 01:51 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | n - new | 01:51 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | p - primary | 01:51 |
| Outy | owen1: wouldn't it be better to simply use GPARTED? | 01:51 |
| owen1 | i did n, p, 1, enter, enter | 01:51 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | 1 - first partition (if it asks you) | 01:51 |
| pp00010101 | Outy: I got this splash screen working :D my boot partition is not mounted at system /boot and that was why update-initramfs was not making any changes. $ sudo update-initramfs -u -k all -b <mount_point> did the trick. | 01:51 |
| owen1 | it asked for first and last sector so i hit enter on both | 01:51 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | what does l in fdisk show | 01:51 |
| owen1 | and i see: Created a new partition 1 of type 'Linux' and of size 14.3 GiB. | 01:51 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | sorry | 01:52 |

| owen1 | Re-reading the partition table failed.: Device or resource busy | 01:52 |
| owen1 | i need to unmount? | 01:52 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | it shoudltn be mounted lOl | 01:52 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | unplug it plug it back in | 01:52 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | sometimes the partition table is not reread properly | 01:52 |
| Outy | pp00010101: wow glad to hear that. congrats =) | 01:52 |
| owen1 | i have something that automount | 01:52 |
| owen1 | let me unmount manualy | 01:53 |
| Outy | pp00010101: write that down somewhere | 01:53 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | it wont mount cause it has no filesystem on it | 01:53 |
| Outy | pp00010101: maybe i'll need that too in future | 01:53 |
| owen1 | darkdrgn2k4: lsblk show me this: sdc 8:32 1 14.3G 0 disk | 01:55 |
| Outy | pp00010101: so it was just not standard where your boot partition was and you pointed it out in the cmdline | 01:55 |
| owen1 | └─sdc1 8:33 1 14.3G 0 part | 01:55 |
| owen1 | should i run fdisk again? | 01:55 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | why? | 01:55 |
| Outy | owen1: no gparted | 01:55 |
| Outy | ^^ | 01:55 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | looks liek you have a partition | 01:56 |
| owen1 | last time i run it i got error and i had to unmount it first | 01:56 |
| owen1 | darkdrgn2k4: ok | 01:56 |
| owen1 | so mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdc1 | 01:56 |
| owen1 | ? | 01:56 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdc1 | 01:56 |
| owen1 | ok | 01:56 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | as long as sdc is the drive lol | 01:56 |
| Outy | *singing* gpaaarted is your friend my friend... yeaahhh *lol* | 01:56 |
| owen1 | yup | 01:56 |
| owen1 | Outy: ahhaha | 01:56 |

| darkdrgn2k4 | waiting for a gui to start up.. moving your mouse away from the keyboard to move the mouse.. | 01:57 |
| Outy | darkdrgn2k4: is he on terminal only ? | 01:57 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | Outy, dose it matter? its still invovles the mouse.. its slow :P | 01:57 |
| pp00010101 | Outy: yes, it was just that simple. Internal issue ;). Funny thing is I was not aware of this, I must have messed up during instalation. | 01:57 |
| Outy | darkdrgn2k4: ^^ okay okay do it your ways =) | 01:57 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | Outy: haha yeh well serves me right for trying to do it the shell way with him.. shoul dhave just kepy my mout shut :P | 01:58 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | owen1, sounds liek your up | 01:59 |
| Outy | darkdrgn2k4: i like shell too... but explaining every step is pita | 01:59 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | yeh | 01:59 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | i hate shell when you have no console ot it | 01:59 |
| owen1 | darkdrgn2k4: yes but i can create a folder inside. it's owned by root | 01:59 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | stupid pi wont come back up! | 01:59 |
| Budgii | Anyone ever tried Pop!_os? | 02:00 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | chown bla.bla ?? | 02:00 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | remmber you formated it ext4 so linux ruels appy | 02:00 |
| spectacular | Outy, do we still recommend having a swap partition or are those passe? | 02:00 |
| owen1 | darkdrgn2k4: do i need to do it every time i insert it to the laptop or just once? | 02:00 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | i think just once | 02:00 |
| owen1 | darkdrgn2k4: ok. and how do i give it a nice name? | 02:01 |
| Outy | spectacular: i always do a swap partiton despite how much ram i got | 02:01 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | ummm i donno.. | 02:01 |
| spectacular | Outy, how much space should it be given? | 02:01 |
| Outy | spectacular: you never know when it will come in handy | 02:01 |
| Outy | spectacular: 1.5 tomes ram | 02:02 |
| Outy | times | 02:02 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | e2label i think | 02:02 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | e2label /dev/sdc1 AAAAAAAAACHOOOOO | 02:02 |
| spectacular | Outy, what command can i use to check how much ram i have? lspci? | 02:02 |
| Outy | spectacular: so for 8192MB of ram its 12288mb of swap | 02:02 |
| Outy | spectacular: free -h | 02:03 |
| owen1 | darkdrgn2k4: thanks. everything works | 02:03 |
| spectacular | i've got 11G... so I want like 16G swap? | 02:04 |
| Outy | spectacular: when there is like 7,6gb you got the 8gb or 8192 of physical ram for example | 02:04 |
| Outy | spectacular: 18432mb if ur ok with that | 02:04 |
| spectacular | shrug it's a 128GB SSD. and I have two other internal hard drives with 1 and 2 TB | 02:05 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | owne1: in the future just go into fdisk and do d to delete all the partition :P | 02:05 |
| spectacular | so i can afford the 18432 i guess. | 02:06 |
| spectacular | and would you recommend around 30gb for the ubuntu system, and then the rest for home dir? | 02:06 |
| Outy | spectacular: others would recommend no swap at all with this much ram, but as i said... you never know. maybe you will edit 4k vids in future and exceed ram usage | 02:06 |
| bazhang | spectacular, 30gb for root is super generous | 02:07 |
| spectacular | bazhang, what would be normal? that's going to get all the /var /usr etc too just not home | 02:07 |
| bazhang | spectacular, even were you to install nearly ever package which it around 40gb | 02:07 |
| redrapscallion | so my wifi is neither working on Ubuntu and when | 02:08 |
| redrapscallion | I try the live USB | 02:08 |
| bazhang | spectacular, you really should let the installer handle it, the days or a separate var etc and so on are long past | 02:08 |
| redrapscallion | is there a possibility that I just actually just a hardware problem? | 02:09 |
| spectacular | bazhang, i just want to keep home separate so next time i have to reinstall i won't have to worry about all the files in home | 02:09 |
| spectacular | , settings et | 02:09 |
| spectacular | c | 02:09 |
| bazhang | spectacular, you could install etckeeper for one, then a /home | 02:09 |
| bazhang | redrapscallion, we'd need to know the wifi chipset and other details | 02:10 |
| Outy | redrapscallion: do lspci in terminal and paste your wireless lan device | 02:10 |
| bazhang | unless it's usb, then it would be lsusb | 02:10 |
| Outy | yeah | 02:11 |
| redrapscallion | I have the same errors in dmesg (for both ubuntu and the live CD of ubuntu) which is that iwlwifi failed to wake NIC for hcmd | 02:11 |
| spectacular | bazhang, i don't understand etckeeper... just looking for a decent size for / please | 02:11 |
| redrapscallion | my network controller is Intel Corporation Wireless 3165 (rev 79) | 02:11 |
| xangua | spectacular: that depends on how much space you have available for Ubuntu | 02:12 |
| bazhang | around 20gb spectacular | 02:12 |
| spectacular | bazhang, great, thanks | 02:12 |
| bazhang | !info etckeeper | spectacular | 02:12 |
| ubottu | spectacular: etckeeper (source: etckeeper): store /etc in git, mercurial, bzr or darcs. In component main, is optional. Version 1.18.5-1ubuntu1 (artful), package size 27 kB, installed size 154 kB | 02:12 |
| bazhang | spectacular, etckeeper is a package for what you were referring to earlier see above | 02:13 |
| Outy | redrapscallion: this could help maybe: https://askubuntu.com/questions/713742/wireless-card-firmware-intel-3165-iwlwifi-only-available-for-kernel-4-1-any | 02:13 |
| Budgii | I'm trying to format a jump drive and i'm getting an error: This partition cannot be modified because it contains a partition table; please reinitialize layout of the whole device. (udisks-error-quark, 11) | 02:13 |
| Budgii | Any suggestions? | 02:13 |
| redrapscallion | Outy: my wifi isn't working, so I won't be able to apt-get / wget anything | 02:14 |
| redrapscallion | would it be possible that a clean re-install of Ubuntu (wiping everything) might fix my WiFi issue? | 02:14 |
| Outy | redrapscallion: can you connect to lan while doing this ? | 02:14 |
| redrapscallion | or would that just do nothing at all | 02:14 |
| redrapscallion | Outy: well, it turns out that my computer freezes if I don't disable networking | 02:15 |
| Outy | redrapscallion: did it ever work / worked before updates | 02:16 |
| redrapscallion | it just spams "iwlwifi : Failed to wake NIC for hcmd" and everything completely freezes | 02:16 |
| redrapscallion | it worked for like 6 months, but then it broke about a month ago. | 02:16 |
| spectacular | ok trying to boot the new usb. wish me luck | 02:16 |
| redrapscallion | I already tried switching kernel versions | 02:16 |
| Outy | spectacular: luck =) | 02:16 |
| redrapscallion | Outy: I | 02:19 |
| redrapscallion | Outy: I'll just try reinstalling and see if that fixes anything | 02:19 |
| Budgii | What's that OS loader program called.. I just used it a few weeks ago for linux. | 02:19 |
| Budgii | seems like it has a G in it. | 02:19 |
| Outy | redrapscallion: until you have working internet on this machine there will be no simple way to help you out | 02:19 |
| Outy | redrapscallion: okay =) | 02:19 |
| redrapscallion | Outy: yeah, I agree with you on that lol | 02:19 |
| xangua | Budgii: grub | 02:19 |
| Budgii | Don't know if that was it. I'll try it, will it format my jump drive? | 02:20 |
| redrapscallion | Outy: hopefully it works after reinstalling. if not, I might just try downgrading my Ubuntu version to 14 :( | 02:20 |
| Budgii | xangua, I was trying to format the drive and it gives me an error. | 02:20 |
| Outy | redrapscallion: or try this somehow https://askubuntu.com/questions/713742/wireless-card-firmware-intel-3165-iwlwifi-only-available-for-kernel-4-1-any =) | 02:21 |
| redrapscallion | I'll try that on a clean install by moving over files via USB probably | 02:22 |
| Outy | clear | 02:22 |
| Outy | im off... wish you @ll a good sleep =) | 02:23 |

| tomcres | Is there any way to turn off the Ubuntu customizations to the GNOME Shell in 17.10? I'd like to use a vanilla GNOME configuration rather than the mock-Unity one that Ubuntu ships with. Is this possible? | 03:01 |
| === mintsash_ is now known as paladin_ | ||
| tomcres | Never mind. I found it: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/10/install-vanilla-gnome-shell-ubuntu-17-10 | 03:11 |
| Krenair | Hey, I've got a Xenial machine which is having package problems with linux-headers-4.4.0-93 | 03:11 |
| Krenair | dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-headers-4.4.0-93_4.4.0-93.116_all.deb (--unpack): | 03:12 |
| Krenair | unable to create '/usr/src/linux-headers-4.4.0-93/arch/powerpc/include/asm/mediabay.h.dpkg-new' (while processing './usr/src/linux-headers-4.4.0-93/arch/powerpc/include/asm/mediabay.h'): No space left on device | 03:12 |
| Krenair | No apport report written because the error message indicates a disk full error | 03:12 |
| Krenair | except I have 1.4G free on / | 03:12 |
| Bashing-om | Krenair: "No space left on device | 03:12 |
| tomcres | how much space do you have left on /var? | 03:13 |
| Krenair | the archive it's processing is 9.6M | 03:13 |
| Bashing-om | " ' df -h ; df -i ' to tell the tale ., | 03:13 |
| Krenair | /var doesn't have it's own partition | 03:13 |
| Krenair | so it'd be /'s 1.4G | 03:13 |
| tomcres | OK | 03:13 |
| Krenair | ooh | 03:14 |
| Krenair | df -i is interesting | 03:14 |

| Krenair | /dev/vda1 15G 13G 1.4G 90% / | 03:14 |
| tomcres | Ah, it looks like you've used up all your inodes. Your disk is full. | 03:15 |
| lakin | Trying to install Ubuntu on my dad's laptop. He prefers gnome-shell, and we both prefer an LTS release. 16.04 doesn't include gnome-3, the 16.04.3 ubuntu-gnome installer crashes during install and 17.10 with wayland is incredibly unstable when I just tried it. Is the daily build of 18.04 a crazy idea? | 03:16 |
| Krenair | so I need to remove some stuff, even though I'm supposed to have 1.4G free. nice | 03:16 |
| Bashing-om | Krenair: Well ,,out of inodes, can no longer address . All you can do at this point is remove files . Any joy ' sudo apt autoremove ' ? for starters . | 03:17 |
| Krenair | Bashing-om, no, that doesn't work because of the broken linux-headers-4.4.0-93 package install | 03:17 |
| Krenair | The following packages have unmet dependencies: | 03:17 |
| Krenair | linux-headers-4.4.0-93-generic : Depends: linux-headers-4.4.0-93 but it is not installed | 03:17 |
| Krenair | E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f. | 03:17 |
| Krenair | should I try autoremove -f? | 03:17 |
| Krenair | It's actually running 4.4.0-81-generic right now so it should be able to live without 4.4.0-93 headers, though it might need them for next restart? | 03:21 |
| === root is now known as Guest21286 | ||
| Krenair | Bashing-om? | 03:22 |
| Krenair | would `apt autoremove -f` work? | 03:23 |
| Krenair | I guess a better question would be: could it be dangerous? | 03:23 |
| Bashing-om | Krenair: ' uname -r ; dpkg -l | grep linux- ' then somthing like ' sudo dpkg -P linux-image{,-extra}-4.4.0-{31,38,42,45,47,51,53}-generic linux-headers-4.4.0-{31,38,42,45,47,51,53}{,-generic} ' to remove old ketrenls . Must not mess with the uname -r result . | 03:23 |
| lakin | #ubuntu-gnome suggests that support requests are asked here. But the topic here suggests that non-official derivatives should seek support elsewhere. So where do I get support for Ubuntu Gnome 16.04.3 ? | 03:25 |
| spectacular | hi, to those of you who were helping me with my lagging problem, i installed 16.04 and everything seems fine now. thanks all. | 03:25 |
| Bashing-om | lakin: gnome is supported here . ask away . | 03:27 |
| Bashing-om | !yay | spectacular | 03:27 |
| ubottu | spectacular: Glad you made it! :-) | 03:27 |
| Krenair | Bashing-om, that's already taken /'s IUse% to 89% :) | 03:27 |
| Krenair | 77% now done | 03:28 |
| lakin | Bashing-om: thanks. | 03:28 |
| lakin | the ubuntu-gnome 16.04.3 installer crashes after I enter the username/password/computer name | 03:29 |
| Bashing-om | Krenair: Now ' apt get update ; sudo apt -f install ' run clean ? | 03:29 |
| lakin | I'm downloading the 16.04.2 installer now to see if it works, but what is the best way to get LTS + ubuntu gnome right now? | 03:29 |
| ConsoleFx | For some reasons Ubuntu 17.10 is acting too sluggish! Unsure how | 03:30 |
| Bashing-om | lakin: Here : http://ubuntugnome.org/download/ . | 03:30 |
| ConsoleFx | open a page in Firefox and the page scrolls like tortoise :( | 03:31 |
| Bashing-om | !md5sum | lakin | 03:31 |
| ubottu | lakin: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM | 03:31 |
| === mintsash is now known as tomriddle | ||
| ConsoleFx | Videos are having the same smoothness issues too | 03:31 |
| lakin | ubottu: I already did that. It matches. | 03:31 |
| ubottu | lakin: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 03:31 |
| lakin | Bashing-om: I already did that. :) | 03:31 |
| lakin | And that is where I am downloading from. I guess I just try the 16.04.2 installer | 03:32 |
| ConsoleFx | Any working solutions which would really work? I would like to avoid degrading to Ubuntu 16 again :( | 03:32 |
| Zombie | Got some weird update that came through for Ubuntu's LTS release on the DC. It's rendered all authenticated samba share access inoperative. | 03:32 |
| tomcres | lakin IF you still have problems with the UG installer, you can always install regular Ubuntu and just apt install gnome-session afterwards. | 03:32 |
| Bashing-om | lakin: Dual booting ? turned off secure boot and fast boot ? Shut Windows down completely ? | 03:33 |
| lakin | tomcres: is gnome-shell included in vanilla ubuntu 16.04.3? | 03:33 |
| lakin | Not dual booting. Turned off secure boot and fast boot. | 03:33 |
| tomcres | lakin It's not installed, but you can install it with apt | 03:33 |
| lakin | The vanilla ubuntu 16.04.3 installer works fine. | 03:33 |
| lakin | tomcres: it's included in the repos? I thought you had to use the PPA? | 03:33 |
| lakin | Which was no longer officially supported. | 03:34 |
| lakin | If that's the case, then I'll definitely do that. | 03:34 |
| lakin | :) | 03:34 |
| tomcres | lakin let me double check for you. give me a moment | 03:34 |
| lakin | hot damn - https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=xenial&searchon=names&keywords=gnome-shell looks like it is included! | 03:35 |
| lakin | Thanks all. I'll just use that. For whatever reason I thought I needed the ppa. Must be tired, lol | 03:36 |
| tomcres | lakin, OK it is in the repos. But the command is actually apt install ubuntu-gnome-desktop | 03:36 |
| lakin | perfect. I'll do that right now. | 03:36 |
| lakin | Thanks again | 03:36 |
| Zombie | Anyone else experiencing this? | 03:37 |
| tomcres | OK. Good luck | 03:37 |
| ConsoleFx | Installing ubuntu-gnome-desktop would fix the sluggishness issue on Ubuntu 17.10? tomcres | 03:39 |
| lakin | No, he was referring to me. | 03:39 |
| ConsoleFx | aah okay | 03:39 |
| ConsoleFx | nvm | 03:39 |
| lakin | 17.10 already uses gnome-desktop by default AFAIK | 03:40 |
| theblackone | Can ubuntu spy me? | 03:40 |
| ConsoleFx | lakin, this 17.10 slugishness is driving me nuts indeed :( | 03:40 |
| lakin | Yeah, I just tried it on this same laptop and it was unusable | 03:41 |
| AmericanBlend | theblackone, by itself, rather no | 03:41 |
| lakin | I was trying to install the citrix linux client and during the install gst-plugin-scan would use 100% cpu and eventually freeze the computer | 03:41 |
| AmericanBlend | but who to trust | 03:42 |
| theblackone | I think Cannonical is getting my data to sell! How do they make money? | 03:43 |
| AmericanBlend | theblackone, canonical is sponsorwd by mark shuttlework | 03:47 |
| AmericanBlend | they also get donations | 03:47 |
| tomcres | and they sell support, especially for server | 03:47 |
| AmericanBlend | mark shuttlework is a south african rich guy with a mission | 03:47 |
| AmericanBlend | mark shuttleworth actually | 03:51 |
| AmericanBlend | made a mistake here | 03:51 |

| transhuman | Hi, is there an easy way to limit the memory consumed by libreoffice but allow it to take up swap after a certain amount. thing has a terrible memory leak | 04:16 |
| testmaster1 | Hi, im having problems with Ubuntu 16.04 Desktop LTS. When I install it on my PC and update it "via sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y" and then leave it for a while, the GUI will just crash | 04:20 |
| testmaster1 | I can tell it crashes because even TeamViewer cannot show the GUI. Its just a black screen | 04:20 |
| testmaster1 | Right now, it cannot boot into Ubuntu entirely, when I turn it on, I can hear the drums when the OS starts but no GUI to put a password | 04:21 |
| testmaster1 | I am trying to reinstall it now via USB but im sure the problem will happen again, what can I do? Where would the logs be stored for this type of problem? | 04:21 |
| Donnutt | Hi. | 04:22 |
| lakin | Alright, installing ubuntu-gnome-desktop from an Ubuntu 16.04.3 install worked. I chosed gdm as the login tool. After boot grub no longer shows, and when I try to login it just hangs and never shows the desktop. | 04:37 |
| lakin | Because grub isn't showing - I can't reboot into recovery mode, and CTRL+ALT+F1 doesn't get me to a virtual terminal either. | 04:38 |
| lakin | How would I go about diagnosing this? | 04:38 |
| testmaster1 | @lakin | 04:41 |
| testmaster1 | u there? | 04:41 |
| fathur | hay, can i ask? | 04:44 |
| lakin | testmaster1: yes, why? | 04:44 |
| testmaster1 | because i have the same problem | 04:45 |
| fathur | can running aplication android in ubuntu mate 32 bit? | 04:45 |
| testmaster1 | or i think i do | 04:45 |

| quotation | I really cannot figure it out. whatever packages are missing are very clearly installed, so what could the problem be? | 05:36 |
| quotation | both ConfigParser for python2 and configparser for Python3 are installed | 05:37 |
| aeyxa | quotation, did you try installing configparser yourself? python is trying to use configparser to read from an ini file but doesn't have configparser installed | 05:37 |
| ledeni | Donnutt, in terminal ' gnome-shell --version' | 05:38 |
| aeyxa | I don't see it in your list there | 05:38 |
| Donnutt | Thank you. | 05:38 |
| quotation | aeyxa: configparser is installed. | 05:38 |
| aeyxa | quotation, show it, do like python3 -c "import ConfigParser" | 05:39 |

| quotation | aeyxa: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/ckWbmxqcqs/ | 05:40 |
| quotation | aeyxa: ConfigParser is configparser in python3 | 05:41 |
| aeyxa | what version is that version.py file trying to use, maybe that's the problem then? quotation | 05:41 |
| screamslash | I'm on Ubuntu 16.04 lts my wifi won't connect to my main wifi network. I've gotten every other device to connect but not this Ubuntu laptop. it just like keeps trying to connect and just keeps failing. there's no password. how do I fix this? | 05:42 |
| quotation | aeyxa: how do I find that out? | 05:42 |
| aeyxa | quotation, you could try opening the file and changing it to configparser as an easy way | 05:42 |
| aeyxa | quotation, /usr/share/python/debpython/version.py line 24 it says | 05:43 |
| quotation | aeyxa: line 24 says: "from ConfigParser import SafeConfigParser" | 05:44 |
| quotation | aeyxa: ought I change that to "configparser" ? | 05:44 |
| quotation | seems like a bad idea | 05:44 |
| * quotation tries | 05:45 | |
| aeyxa | I don't think SafeConfigParser exists under configparser, can't find it here for python 3 https://docs.python.org/3/library/configparser.html, quotation | 05:45 |
| aeyxa | so changing just ConfigParser to configparser likely won't help | 05:46 |
| quotation | What would be helpful in this case? Changing the line did absolutely nothing | 05:47 |
| aeyxa | are you running in a python2 environment when you install that package? quotation | 05:47 |
| quotation | No, I'm running in python3 | 05:47 |
| aeyxa | well seems like that's a python 2 package | 05:47 |
| quotation | or wait.. hmm | 05:47 |
| aeyxa | just type python --version to find out what the default is | 05:47 |
| quotation | 3.5.2 | 05:48 |
| aeyxa | it's probably 2.7 unless you installed 3 from source and overwrote it | 05:48 |
| quotation | I did change the symlink long ago | 05:48 |
| aeyxa | that's probably the problem then, but, seems silly that the package wouldn't go looking for python 2 on it's own if it depends on it... | 05:48 |
| screamslash | any ideas? | 05:49 |
| quotation | Agreed. Because I've changed only the symlink and perhaps no other references, are there some other reassociations I need to make? | 05:49 |
| quotation | Uninstalling python2 actually seemed to provide more issues | 05:49 |
| aeyxa | lol yes you shouldn't have uninstalled it | 05:50 |
| quotation | I mean, it's installed again, which fixed tons of new issues, but.. | 05:50 |
| aeyxa | you should keep whatever version the default is | 05:50 |
| quotation | this configparser issue persists :s | 05:50 |
| lotuspsychje | screamslash: best way to get your issue solved is to re-ask in the channel once in a while, with all details | 05:50 |
| aeyxa | and then use virtual environments | 05:50 |
| aeyxa | for python 3 | 05:51 |
| quotation | Yes, so far I have both python2 and python3, and I'm using a virtual environment for python3 | 05:51 |
| aeyxa | is the default back to python2 now? | 05:51 |
| aeyxa | python --version is 2? | 05:51 |
| quotation | I don't know what's up with python2 since I don't actually use it. The default is not back to python2, no. | 05:51 |
| screamslash | I'm on Ubuntu 16.04 lts my wifi won't connect to my main wifi network. I've gotten every other device to connect but not this Ubuntu laptop. it just like keeps trying to connect and just keeps failing. there's no password. how do I fix this? | 05:51 |
| quotation | python --version is 3.5.2 | 05:51 |
| lotuspsychje | screamslash: wifi chipset? ubuntu up to date to latest .3? | 05:52 |
| aeyxa | quotation, pretty sure you'll need to do that, or you can try opening the file and telling it go use python 2, probably by doing like #!<path to python2> I think | 05:52 |
| aeyxa | but you'll probably run into more problems later | 05:52 |
| quotation | aeyxa: which file? | 05:53 |
| aeyxa | anyway this is more of a python problem tbh, #python or #pypa might be more help, quotation | 05:53 |

| quotation | aeyxa: ah!! That makes sense. Let me try that | 05:54 |
| lotuspsychje | screamslash: have you tryed a network-manager restart? | 05:54 |
| aeyxa | quotation, you'll no doubt run into the same problem later, so I recommend just putting the default back to 2 and use 3 in venv | 05:55 |
| lotuspsychje | screamslash: can you check your kernel version too plz? uname -a? | 05:55 |
| lotuspsychje | aeyxa: +1 | 05:55 |
| screamslash | how do I do that | 05:55 |
| quotation | aeyxa: by that, you mean linking py2 to python rather than py3? | 05:55 |
| aeyxa | screamslash, open terminal and type uname -a :p | 05:55 |
| aeyxa | quotation, yes basically | 05:55 |
| lotuspsychje | screamslash: sudo service network-manager restart | 05:55 |
| screamslash | how do I restart the network manager | 05:55 |
| aeyxa | screamslash, service network-manager restart | 05:56 |
| aeyxa | I think? | 05:56 |
| aeyxa | NetworkManager maybe or networks, I forget the service name for ubuntu | 05:56 |
| screamslash | that didn't fix it | 05:56 |
| lotuspsychje | screamslash: ok, check if your driver is loaded plz: sudo lshw -C network | 05:56 |

| blue1 | lotuspsychje thanks - I understand stability - but a programme I have needs a newer version than the distro. I'll give 3.x a shot -- just wondering if anyone had used it. | 06:04 |

| jacsector0 | can u paste the lspci | 08:07 |
| bryanfrommacau | I'll try, just rebooting now | 08:08 |
| bryanfrommacau | another topic, but is 2gb enough ram for ubuntu 17? | 08:11 |
| cfhowlett | technically, yes but it will be slow. try xubuntu or lubuntu for a speedier life | 08:11 |
| jacsector0 | for lenovo r400 try enable on bios | 08:12 |
| jacsector0 | for ubuntu 2gb yes that's enough but it's more recommended that your using CLI | 08:12 |
| jacsector0 | :)) | 08:12 |
| bryanfrommacau | I couldn't find it in bios | 08:13 |
| bryanfrommacau | I'm using a different computer here, I can't paste thte whole lspci.....I see Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 1000 | 08:14 |

| jacsector0 | i'm using ubuntu 17 for server | 08:18 |
| jacsector0 | and it's work fine to me | 08:18 |
| bryanfrommacau | Yeah, I saw that page, it just says "the wireless card works," but it's very old | 08:18 |
| jacsector0 | @bryanfrommacau what ubuntu version that your using ? | 08:19 |
| bryanfrommacau | My bios version is 3.22....I did find the wireless lan thet second time, it's on | 08:19 |

| shanky | bazhang: trying to get fix either way :( | 09:47 |
| gogo | cfhowlett ty. I don't have any questions right now. I am familiarizing myself with IRC | 09:47 |
| bazhang | shanky, are you logged in with two nicks and asking the same questions here | 09:47 |
| shanky | bazhang: no its different question sudo related | 09:48 |
| bazhang | shanky, it's the exact same question and spelling | 09:48 |
| kille | hi guys | 09:48 |
| shanky | bazhang: u telling abt netwrk related i think sudo will fix once then netwrk i can do by sudo restart netwrk service | 09:48 |
| shanky | bazhang: can u focus on solving why command with sudo is nt wrking after suspend then wakeup | 09:49 |
| urgent_help | bazhang: sorry :( | 09:49 |
| kille | i installed ubuntu and then replaced unity with gnome. i want to close my windows like in windows, by pressing alt f4. unfortunately, it closes the window, but it also changes my session over to terminal. how can i change the binding for that session shortcut to be something else, like ctrl alt f4, so that gnome closes my windows, but i dont have to change my session when i do that? i dont want to go alt | 09:50 |
| kille | f4, alt f2 every time. :P | 09:50 |
| ChunkzZ1 | bazhang: same IP and client too | 09:50 |
| bazhang | yep | 09:50 |
| gogo | How can I pin the users to sidebar in xchat?? | 09:51 |
| bazhang | gogo first off get hexchat | 09:51 |
| cfhowlett | gogo, xchat? XCHAT? no longer developed or supported. install hexchat | 09:51 |
| gogo | alright | 09:52 |
| shanky | bazhang: u got angry :( | 09:53 |
| gogo | is it also from gnome? | 09:53 |
| cfhowlett | gogo, sudo apt install hexchat will get it | 09:53 |
| cfhowlett | https://hexchat.github.io/news/announcement.html | 09:55 |
| bazhang | shanky, you need to stick to a single issue, with a single nick asking, not keep changing around to what you think is the fix | 09:55 |
| shanky | bazhang: ok sry | 09:55 |
| shanky | bazhang: wat should i do now? | 09:56 |
| bazhang | shanky, state your single issue to the channel every 10-15 minutes, if someone wishes to help they will | 09:56 |
| shanky | bazhang: ok | 09:56 |
| shanky | bye | 09:57 |
| shanky | i dont think anybody can help me :( | 09:57 |
| bazhang | gogo there's not a pin user to the side that I know of, could you clarify | 09:57 |
| cfhowlett | gogo, same here. you can add nicks to your Friends List | 09:58 |
| bazhang | gogo perhaps you could right click on a users nick and see what options that shows | 09:58 |
| gogo | bazhang cfhowlett : I watched a video about IRC in which there was a right sidebar just like on the web IRC so I thought maybe it | 09:59 |
| gogo | ... is here too | 10:00 |
| cfhowlett | different irc clients, different tricks, gogo | 10:00 |
| gogo | yes got it. Sidebar is available in hexchat but not in xchat. Ty | 10:01 |
| Triffid_Hunter | gogo: try kvirc ;) | 10:01 |
| gogo | i have installed hexchat but unable to connect to freenode#ubuntu | 10:05 |
| gogo | do they all have different IRC for same #ubuntu??? | 10:05 |
| bazhang | gogo, hexchat might list it as ubuntu servers | 10:06 |
| Triffid_Hunter | gogo: no, channels exist on each irc network. client is irrelevant, although if you haven't logged in with nickserv first you can get bumped to -unregistered sometimes | 10:06 |
| coco | hello | 10:07 |
| bazhang | hi | 10:07 |
| gogo | haha coco is me | 10:07 |

| coco | is it bad? | 10:08 |
| coco | jaja | 10:08 |
| gogo | leaving x chat now ty all. i'll use hexchat from now on | 10:09 |
| bazhang | coco, did you get the pin to sidebar or something like it? | 10:11 |
| coco | yes | 10:11 |
| bazhang | great | 10:11 |
| coco | it shows all the users of the chat | 10:11 |
| coco | what is ops here??? it says 2ops out of 1512 total users | 10:13 |
| === Guest3224 is now known as bolt_isRoman | ||
| bazhang | coco, both of those are channel watcher bots, the ops (human) dont keep it at all times | 10:14 |
| coco | just like Reddit bots? | 10:16 |
| cfhowlett | coco, do you have an ubuntu support question? | 10:16 |
| bazhang | coco, not sure, never went there | 10:17 |
| bazhang | coco you might want to try #freenode for such issues | 10:17 |
| ballin | i need to recover lost partition table-no hardware damage-human error deleted but not overwritten,using testdisk b4 scan completes i encounter an issue due to size of scan vs size of disk see img pls (sdd is the drive) | 10:17 |

| ballin | http://termbin.com/85fc | 10:18 |
| ballin | second paste is smart data | 10:20 |
| ballin | its an external hard drive i store all my stuff on with three partitions and i use it on linux and other os | 10:21 |
| ballin | if this isnt the channel to ask on if s1 would please suggest the appropriate place to ask i would really appreciate it | 10:27 |
| Triffid_Hunter | ballin: there's some tool that can guess your partition table by scanning the drive and looking for familiar filesystem headers.. you'll have to ask google for its name though | 10:28 |
| iuhiuh | net | 10:30 |
| ballin | thanks | 10:31 |
| ballin | only thing i found was easeus | 10:31 |
| ballin | any other clues | 10:32 |
| ballin | its wont work for me because of the partition size | 10:32 |
| ballin | im ballin | 10:32 |
| ballin | 3TB | 10:32 |
| ballin | was able to recover raw data but i need the partition table for raw file location placement | 10:33 |

| anddam | I'm switching from gnupg to gnupg2, in doing so I see gpgv is installed in place of gpgv2 | 10:48 |
| anddam | trying to purge gpgv results in "WARNING: The following essential packages will be removed." "This should NOT be done unless you know exactly what you are doing!", is there a proper approach to upgrading to gpgv2? | 10:49 |
| anddam | or, better, is switching from gpgv to gpgv2 needed at all when switching to gnupg2? | 10:49 |
| ASTRA` | i'm currently running 16.04 on AMD A10-7850K Radeon R7 | 10:51 |
| ASTRA` | driver issues unfortunately | 10:52 |
| Jedee | hello | 10:55 |
| Jedee | can someone tell me how i reset all the panels and such in xubuntu? i'm upgrading from a 24 inch full hd to a 32 inch 4k screem | 10:56 |
| Jedee | i've got bad eyes, and resized stuff kinda big on the 24" screen | 10:56 |
| tomreyn | anddam: on ubuntu 16.04 you can't replace gpgv by gpgv2, yet, since gpgv is still required by apt (amongst others). you can switch from gpg (v1) to gpg2 just fine, though. | 10:58 |
| tomreyn | ASTRA`: if you were looking for assistence you'll need to provide more information on those issues. | 10:59 |
| ASTRA` | i'm on ubuntu 16.04, my system is AMD A10-7850K Radeon R7 | 11:00 |
| ASTRA` | i have some obvious graphics card driver issues | 11:00 |
| brainwash | Jedee: I suggest asking in #xubuntu | 11:00 |
| anddam | tomreyn: thanks | 11:00 |
| ASTRA` | vlc 3.0.0 keeps pausing/green flash | 11:00 |
| Jedee | @brainwash how do i get there? | 11:01 |
| brainwash | Jedee: /join #xubuntu | 11:01 |
| Jedee | thanks ! | 11:01 |
| BluesKaj | Hi folks | 11:01 |
| brainwash | ASTRA`: is that with or without hardware video decoding? check the VLC settings | 11:01 |
| ASTRA` | thank you for the reply, please let me check | 11:02 |
| brainwash | ASTRA`: also, did it work fine with the vlc version that is shipped by your ubuntu release? | 11:02 |
| ASTRA` | iirc, the version that came with 16.04 never had any issues | 11:06 |
| ASTRA` | 2.6.6 | 11:06 |
| ASTRA` | after i upgraded to this one, it started freezing/pausing and displaying green flash screen | 11:07 |
| brainwash | ASTRA`: I guess in this case it would be the best to ask in #vlc | 11:08 |
| brainwash | ASTRA`: maybe the people over there can point you to a bug report, or help with creating one | 11:09 |
| ASTRA` | on the settings, hardware accelerated decoding is set to 'Automatic' | 11:09 |
| brainwash | I assume that disabling will fix the issue | 11:09 |
| brainwash | disabling it | 11:09 |
| ASTRA` | i shall try it | 11:10 |
| tomreyn | egrain: according to the PPD file epson provides for AL-M200DN printers, it supports both postscript and pcl, so you could use those with this PPD (or the one provided by linuxprinting, if that's as good or better, haven't checked) | 11:10 |
| ASTRA` | i was terrified that my system (mentioned above) was slightly incompatible with 16.04 | 11:11 |
| BluesKaj | ASTRA`, yeah I switched to mpv for the very reason you describe | 11:11 |
| ASTRA` | :( | 11:11 |
| brainwash | the AMD A10-7850K isn't that new anymore | 11:12 |
| ASTRA` | apparently, other people with the same AMD A10-7850K/Radeon R7 are suffering compatibility issues concerning the graphics card and ubuntu 16.04 | 11:13 |
| brainwash | soon you will be able to upgrade to 18.04 | 11:13 |
| ASTRA` | yep, it was released on 2014, getting old indeed | 11:13 |
| brainwash | well, still 2 months | 11:13 |
| BluesKaj | videolan has some biugs that haven't been looked at it seems | 11:13 |
| egrain | tomreyn, where epson provides a PPD file? could you help me out where to find it? | 11:14 |
| tomreyn | brainwash: i'd expect that upgrades will be offered when 18.04.1 releases only (as it was in the past) | 11:14 |
| tomreyn | egrain: http://a1227.g.akamai.net/f/1227/40484/7d/download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/f/01/00/01/94/85/5cf447c97469de337b7286bd1389deb66760f6f7/epson-al-m200_1.0-5_all.deb | 11:15 |
| pseudonymous | is there a way for me to disable the touch screen ? I have a stylus as well, but the touch functionality gets in the way of using the stylus optimally (resting my hand on the screen) | 11:15 |
| tomreyn | egrain: or search for it here http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/searchModule | 11:15 |
| akik | pseudonymous: you might find options for it in "xinput list", "xinput list-props number" | 11:16 |
| akik | pseudonymous: the number is the id=n column for your touch screen | 11:17 |
| akik | pseudonymous: here's an example command that i use to disable two finger horizontal & vertical scroll: xinput set-prop "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "libinput Scroll Method Enabled" 0 0 0 | 11:18 |
| egrain | tomreyn, thanks a bunch. the file worked like a charm. | 11:24 |

| mfrinnstrom_ | Hi. I'm having trouble exporting my ZFS pool in Ubuntu. It says the pool is busy but I can't find the reason for that | 12:08 |
| mfrinnstrom_ | Do you have any ideas? | 12:08 |
| Elysium3301 | Anyone who plays OpenSpades on Ubuntu here? My settings keep resetting to default when I quit the game and the game doesn't run with sudo or root. | 12:09 |
| blackflow | mfrinnstrom_: is there an active mountpoint in a dataset? | 12:11 |
| Outy | mfrinnstrom_: maybe it can't unmount a specific partition automatically. have u tried the -f option ? | 12:11 |
| DiecastMessiah | hailz all .. was going to install gimp and i am going to use what comes with ubuntu repo becuase it is the currect.. but On the site i just seen flatpac first time i seen one... are they alright for ubuntu just incase i come arcoss more of them later on | 12:12 |
| gordonjcp | Elysium3301: it probably shouldn't run as root | 12:12 |
| cfhowlett | DiecastMessiah, you can install snaps in ubuntu | 12:12 |
| Elysium3301 | I run it as normal user but the game's settings just keep resetting. I feel like it doesn't have the permissions to save it's config. | 12:13 |
| mfrinnstrom_ | blackflow, Outy: thanks for the suggestions. I got a tip to look in /proc/*/mounts and found the problem | 12:14 |
| Outy | mfrinnstrom_: was it an unmoutable thingy? | 12:14 |
| pseudonymous | akik: thanks :) I did go through and tried to disable each xinput device which seemed remotely likely to have anything to do with it but no dice :( | 12:15 |
| gordonjcp | Elysium3301: it would be saving them in your home directory | 12:15 |
| akik | pseudonymous: i kind of meant disabling *features* of the touch screen | 12:16 |
| mfrinnstrom_ | Outy: a left-over Docker container that had mounted it as a volume | 12:16 |
| DiecastMessiah | cfhowlett, thanks i seen people talking about snaps before on here.. had no idea .. but i'll read into that thanks again :) | 12:16 |
| cfhowlett | happy2help! | 12:16 |
| Outy | mfrinnstrom_: ah okay | 12:17 |
| akik | pseudonymous: there's also libinput which you can install separately | 12:17 |
| Outy | DiecastMessiah: I use Gimp-Edge | 12:17 |

| Highzz | i have run into small problem with libreoffice anyone got time to help me | 12:33 |
| tomreyn | Highzz: not necessarily i, but nobody will be able to help until you describe the issue. | 12:34 |
| DiecastMessiah | Highzz best to just ask question with details.. than to ask if you can ask | 12:35 |
| Highzz | aah yeah, all the icons on the tool has vanished i have the text but its like the toolbar has crashed | 12:35 |
| Highzz | i tried resetting but i have no changed to it | 12:36 |
| Highzz | changes* | 12:36 |
| Highzz | does that make sense? | 12:36 |
| tomreyn | Highzz: yes, but maybe also show a screenshot and the textual output it creates while you start it from a terminal | 12:37 |
| tomreyn | !paste | Highzz | 12:37 |

| Outy | Highzz: if its not too much work of reconfigureing your settings you can try and delete ~/.config/libreoffice | 12:43 |
| karthik1 | -h | 12:46 |
| Outy | Highzz: did it help ? | 12:50 |
| helpme | hi | 12:54 |
| helpme | when I use ctags -R it does nothing | 12:54 |
| helpme | why doesn't it generate the tags file | 12:54 |
| Highzz | hey still trying to be honest | 12:56 |
| Highzz | not too sure how to i trying to delete from terminal but do i delete the whole directory including the back up files? | 12:57 |
| cfhowlett | Highzz, navigate to the exact directory - make sure you get the right one! | 12:57 |
| cfhowlett | then do rm -rf | 12:58 |
| Outy | Highzz: you can first try to rename it | 12:58 |
| cfhowlett | note: from the wrong directory, this can kill you system | 12:58 |
| Outy | Highzz: like: mv ~/.config/libreoffice ~/.config/libreoffice.old | 12:59 |
| Outy | Highzz: so with this command we just rename the libreoffice config file directory. so we have a backup and libreoffice should start clean like fresh install | 13:00 |
| karthik1 | \exit | 13:03 |
| Highzz | https://imgur.com/a/XmfXS | 13:17 |
| Highzz | i think i got it | 13:17 |
| Highzz | #outy | 13:17 |
| Outy | Highzz: moved the directory ? | 13:19 |
| DiecastMessiah | Highzz from a newbie to another... i noticed now of days there are tons of videos on youtube for people starting out. good spots to learn useful basic commands .. | 13:19 |
| Outy | Highzz: ah yes look good | 13:20 |
| DiecastMessiah | search linux for beginners | 13:20 |
| Highzz | outy no renamed it | 13:20 |
| Outy | Highzz: yeah this looks good, now you can try libreoffice again | 13:20 |
| Highzz | diecast, i haven learning how to get around just hard to get used after 15 year of windows | 13:21 |
| Highzz | but enjoying every min of it | 13:21 |
| DiecastMessiah | yeah it great to have actual control over the computer.. down with windows LOL | 13:22 |
| Highzz | loool | 13:22 |
| Outy | Highzz: take your time - you'll get used to it. the more you'll get into linux the more you'll like it | 13:22 |
| Highzz | outy its still the same but i can see on the terminal that i new directory has been made | 13:23 |
| Outy | Highzz: later on you'll find out how bad windows actually is ^^ | 13:23 |
| Highzz | haha new that after vista but couldn't be asked to leave | 13:23 |
| Highzz | a* | 13:24 |
| Outy | Highzz: okay so if it didn't help you can deinstall libreoffice with: sudo apt-get purge libreoffice | 13:24 |
| Outy | Highzz: reinstall it with: sudo apt-get install libreoffice | 13:24 |
| Highzz | okay fist command did not work for me but sudo apt-get purge libreoffice* did | 13:28 |

| fareast | for the simple reason of it was easy to install | 17:26 |
| fareast | is there someone around to discuss applications? | 17:26 |
| Triffid_Hunter | fareast: now the hard part begins :P | 17:26 |
| fareast | no I have been around since Mandrake | 17:26 |
| fareast | its easy for me | 17:26 |
| fareast | I was running compiz fusion on old graphics systems that noone else seemed to support | 17:27 |
| Triffid_Hunter | mandrake somehow destroyed one of my soundcards | 17:27 |
| fareast | that is kinda hard to believe. | 17:27 |
| fareast | you prolly just blew a capacitor | 17:27 |
| Triffid_Hunter | yeah I have no idea how that happened, but somehow it did | 17:27 |
| fareast | rule of thumb with hardware don't buy cheap amd boards | 17:28 |
| Triffid_Hunter | even after cold-booting back into windows it was hosed | 17:28 |
| Triffid_Hunter | didn't know jack about hardware at that point though | 17:28 |
| fareast | <-- lol currently running amd | 17:28 |
| fareast | well old hardware was alot more sensitive that is for sure | 17:29 |
| fareast | until board manufacturers started to jump on the bandwagon | 17:29 |
| fareast | as far as ubuntu software | 17:30 |
| fareast | I am curious. | 17:30 |
| fareast | what are some apps | 17:30 |
| fareast | libre office and gimp | 17:30 |
| fareast | is there a winamp alternative? | 17:30 |

| fareast | you guys ever run patchmypc? | 17:31 |
| fareast | patchmypc.net | 17:31 |
| fareast | its like ninite. | 17:32 |
| fareast | but bettert. | 17:32 |
| Allanis | You could use audacious | 17:32 |
| fareast | better. | 17:32 |
| Allanis | It's real nice. | 17:32 |
| fareast | I seen audacious | 17:32 |
| fareast | it has shoutcast stations and such | 17:32 |
| fareast | I like how ubuntu has been doing temp sensors out of the box | 17:33 |
| fareast | linux has come a long way | 17:33 |
| Allanis | If you want music editing software, then there is ofc Audacity. | 17:33 |
| fareast | Is there anything like virtual dj or sorato? | 17:34 |
| fareast | I like to make mixes I beat mix. | 17:34 |
| Allanis | Mixxx? | 17:34 |
| fareast | yeah | 17:34 |
| fareast | that would be awesome to say I was djing from linux | 17:35 |
| Allanis | Serato DJ I think is Linux too. | 17:35 |
| fareast | well its not free | 17:35 |
| fareast | at least I don't think | 17:35 |
| fareast | I had the damndist time with serato on a windows 8 machine | 17:35 |
| fareast | usb drivers all corrupted windows update not working you know the usual windows stuff | 17:36 |
| Allanis | Mkay, try Mixxx then. | 17:36 |
| akik | let's concentrate on ubuntu support | 17:36 |
| fareast | ok does it do bpm? | 17:36 |
| Space-Duck | fareast, theres an app call Hydrogen that I use to make beats | 17:37 |
| fareast | I want to be able to take a set list and scan the bpm organize it and roll with it | 17:37 |
| Space-Duck | like a fruitloop thingy | 17:37 |
| fareast | fruityloops | 17:37 |
| fareast | I have used that before | 17:37 |
| akik | fareast: there's the kxstudio repository if you want to use daws | 17:37 |
| fareast | I don't like all the added effects I get that with crossfade | 17:37 |
| fareast | hiphop and club already has effects into their beats | 17:38 |
| Space-Duck | fareast, you probably want mixxx | 17:38 |
| fareast | I got yelled at because the club owners thought the fire alarms were going off. | 17:38 |
| fareast | haha | 17:38 |
| fareast | mixxx looks legit | 17:39 |

| yosefrow_ | hey guys, how do i get the roiginal package maintainers version of any conf file for any package ? | 17:42 |
| fareast | I had it running in a vm | 17:42 |
| yosefrow_ | original* | 17:42 |
| fareast | on high sierra and other predecessors | 17:43 |
| yosefrow_ | for example, I want to see the package maintainers version of nginx.conf and I can't find it anywhere online. But I feel like there must be an easy way to view it | 17:43 |
| fareast | you had to spoof the hardware id's in the config files | 17:43 |
| Space-Duck | yosefrow_, look for it on github | 17:43 |
| fareast | I have been wanting to mac a hackintosh but that is just crazy work | 17:44 |
| yosefrow_ | Space-Duck, How do i find the github repo of a specific package? | 17:44 |
| yosefrow_ | Space-Duck, there are many confusing repos called nginx | 17:44 |
| fareast | also is there a full blown android emulator out yet? | 17:45 |
| fareast | more business apps really need to support linux. I feel that is a big problem. | 17:46 |

| beefjoe | what's that | 17:51 |
| Allanis | It's a tool to clean out conf files and various other things. | 17:52 |
| Allanis | It might solve your problem. | 17:52 |
| yosefrow_ | Space-Duck, thanks. This is helpful. However, I was wondering if there is some central repo where I can simply browse the package maintainer's files | 17:52 |
| beefjoe | E: Unable to locate package gconf-cleaner | 17:52 |
| Allanis | Uh. Sec. | 17:52 |
| Allanis | Hm. | 17:53 |
| beefjoe | does stacer work ? | 17:53 |
| Allanis | https://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/gnome/gconf-cleaner | 17:53 |
| Space-Duck | yosefrow_, like https://packages.ubuntu.com/ | 17:54 |
| Allanis | beefjoe: Not sure. Right now I'm not sure that gconf-cleaner will even fix it. Just a hunch. | 17:54 |
| Space-Duck | beefjoe, had you tried making a new user? | 17:55 |
| beefjoe | Yes | 17:55 |
| Space-Duck | still happens? | 17:55 |
| beefjoe | nope | 17:55 |

| Space-Duck | *setting | 17:56 |
| Space-Duck | move to a new user acct or compare the two accounts | 17:57 |
| beefjoe | :(( | 17:57 |
| Allanis | beefjoe: Actually, do a sudo apt-get install light-themes | 17:59 |
| beefjoe | light-themes is already the newest version (14.04+16.04.20171116-0ubuntu1). | 17:59 |
| Allanis | If you have black background also, try gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.background active true | 17:59 |
| beefjoe | The background hasn't change | 18:00 |
| beefjoe | changed | 18:00 |
| Allanis | Mkay. | 18:00 |
| Allanis | Only other thing I could suggest, is grabbing the unity-tweak-tool and playing with the icon themes in there. | 18:01 |
| Allanis | toggle the theme install or something. | 18:01 |
| yosefrow_ | Space-Duck, is there a git repo for each package or something like that? | 18:01 |
| yosefrow_ | Space-Duck, how are packages developed? | 18:01 |
| Allanis | yosefrow_: Still looking for nginx repo? | 18:02 |
| yosefrow_ | Allanis, yes | 18:02 |
| Allanis | https://github.com/nginx/nginx | 18:02 |
| yosefrow_ | Allanis, but is this maintained by debian? | 18:02 |
| yosefrow_ | or ubuntu | 18:02 |
| yosefrow_ | doesnt look like it | 18:02 |
| Allanis | Nope, by nginx. | 18:02 |
| Allanis | Right, I see what you want.. | 18:03 |
| yosefrow_ | I specifically want to see the git repos which are used by the mysterious "package maintainers" | 18:03 |
| yosefrow_ | It never bothered me before, but now I feel like this is something that must exist somewhere and I would really like to see it | 18:04 |
| Allanis | I suppose you could see if nginx tag their commits. when versioning. | 18:04 |
| Allanis | Then see what version you have installed? | 18:04 |
| Allanis | Yeah, I'm not sure the package maintainers will have the source published. | 18:04 |
| yosefrow_ | Allanis, in other words track their contributions and find their repos that way? | 18:04 |
| Allanis | Interesting. | 18:04 |
| Allanis | yosefrow_: Yep, pain in the ass. | 18:05 |
| Allanis | But I suppose that's one way. | 18:05 |
| yosefrow_ | Allanis, I thought Ubuntu was an Open Source ecosystem >> | 18:05 |
| yosefrow_ | << | 18:05 |
| Younix_ | Why is it so difficult to create a bootable USB drive on Ubuntu? | 18:05 |

| Allanis | Younix_: https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-create-a-usb-stick-on-ubuntu#0 | 18:06 |
| Allanis | There is also a windows one too. | 18:06 |
| Allanis | It's simple. | 18:06 |
| yosefrow_ | Allanis, how did you discover this command? | 18:06 |
| Allanis | yosefrow_: *shrugs* | 18:07 |
| Allanis | I know Linux? | 18:07 |
| yosefrow_ | let me guess? man pages? | 18:07 |
| yosefrow_ | xD | 18:07 |
| yosefrow_ | lol, well thanks a bunch | 18:07 |
| Allanis | Nope. it just accured to me that actually you can just grab the package source. | 18:07 |
| Allanis | Np. | 18:07 |
| yosefrow_ | exactly the answer I was looking for :) | 18:07 |
| beefjoe | https://askubuntu.com/questions/1007415/black-unity-launcher-and-icons | 18:08 |
| yosefrow_ | now to raid various package source for their config files | 18:08 |
| Allanis | Have fun. | 18:08 |
| Allanis | I'm curious about yosefrow_'s problem. | 18:08 |
| yosefrow_ | Allanis, my problem is that I'm too curious about everything :P | 18:08 |
| Allanis | That's not a problem. | 18:09 |
| Allanis | Keep being curious. | 18:09 |
| Younix_ | Allanis: yep. no good. once i select the windows ISO and my USB drive, "make startup disk" is still greyed out | 18:09 |
| yosefrow_ | I just wanted to get the original nginx conf that came with my nginx package and I saw all these convoluted commands for backing up your conf and then pulling the package conf and I said "There *has* to be a bettre way" | 18:09 |
| Allanis | Younix_: what platform are you making the bootable drive on? | 18:09 |
| yosefrow_ | in the past I wanted other original confs as well | 18:09 |
| Younix_ | Lubuntu. | 18:09 |
| yosefrow_ | It would be dumb if there wasnt a command like apt source nginx | 18:10 |
| Allanis | Are you using startup disk creator? | 18:10 |
| Younix_ | Allanis: yes | 18:10 |
| akik | Younix_: here's a guide for making the windows bootable usb stick in ubuntu: https://atkdinosaurus.wordpress.com/2016/11/07/how-to-create-a-bootable-uefi-gpt-windows-10-usb-stick-in-ubuntu/ | 18:10 |
| Allanis | Do you see that the device is connected? | 18:10 |
| Younix_ | Allanis: yep | 18:11 |
| Allanis | Hm. | 18:11 |
| Allanis | Try akik's link? | 18:11 |
| astralemp | https://system76.com/laptops <-- in terms of cost-effectiveness, how does this compare to other preinstalled ubuntu options? | 18:11 |
| akik | Younix_: writing the windows iso on the usb stick is not supported in ubuntu's apps | 18:11 |
| akik | (no idea why) | 18:11 |
| Younix_ | akik: sounds a little biased? | 18:11 |
| akik | Younix_: what do you mean? | 18:12 |
| Younix_ | can't make bootable windows sticks on a linux platform | 18:12 |
| Younix_ | bias. | 18:12 |
| Allanis | Oh I saw these astralemp. | 18:12 |
| akik | Younix_: you can but it's not so straight forward | 18:12 |
| akik | Younix_: i.e. it won't boot if you just write it | 18:12 |
| Allanis | They are budget laptops. | 18:13 |
| Younix_ | akik: i don't understand that link | 18:13 |
| Younix_ | export USB_PARTITION=/dev/sdxn | 18:13 |
| Younix_ | ? | 18:13 |
| Younix_ | the device is /dev/sdb | 18:14 |
| akik | Younix_: one partition will be created on the usb stick | 18:14 |
| Younix_ | okay | 18:14 |
| akik | Younix_: so you can set it as /dev/sdb1 | 18:14 |
| Younix_ | so /dev/sdb1? | 18:14 |
| Younix_ | akik: do i need to put the .iso somewhere | 18:18 |
| Younix_ | that /mnt/win10-mountpoint ? | 18:18 |
| akik | Younix_: keep the iso where you have it available in ubuntu, the mountpoint is just an empty directory where the iso will be mounted on | 18:19 |
| Younix_ | see, this is confusing. it looks like it's for a disk that is inserted | 18:19 |
| Younix_ | yea but, with those instructions..there's no where that's allowing me to select the iso | 18:20 |
| Younix_ | oh wait | 18:20 |
| Younix_ | nvm | 18:20 |
| Younix_ | i see. | 18:20 |
| Sircle | how to add a user via commandline? | 18:21 |

| rollingubuntu | hello! | 18:24 |
| rollingubuntu | I've noticed a weird thing | 18:24 |
| rollingubuntu | using ubuntu 17.10 | 18:24 |
| rollingubuntu | after install, I created another user | 18:24 |
| rollingubuntu | (not administrator) | 18:24 |
| Younix_ | akik: well maybe this will work. i appreciate your help. you too, Allanis | 18:25 |
| Younix_ | Both of you...marry me immediately. | 18:25 |
| rollingubuntu | and logging in from that user, I am able to access the main user's home folder and all it's files | 18:25 |
| Allanis | Younix_: Finally a guy who wants me. :P | 18:25 |
| Allanis | yw. | 18:25 |
| Younix_ | haha :P | 18:25 |
| akik | Younix_: it'll work :) | 18:25 |
| beefjoe | Allanis got any other ideas ? | 18:25 |
| Allanis | beefjoe: Sorry, I'm not sure. | 18:26 |
| Sircle | why would I not want to have home directory and shell access of a user? Allanis? | 18:26 |
| rollingubuntu | how is this possible? | 18:26 |
| Allanis | I don't even use the ubuntu desktop environment. so I was limited to what I could suggest anyway. | 18:26 |
| Sircle | Allanis, are you sure on the command (useradd or adduser)? | 18:26 |
| Allanis | Sircle: You don't want the user to have a home directory? | 18:27 |
| Allanis | And yes useradd | 18:27 |
| Allanis | rollingubuntu: is the main user password protected? | 18:27 |
| Sircle | why would anyone not want to have home directory and shell access of a user? Allanis? | 18:27 |
| ducasse | rollingubuntu: the default permissions of home dirs are set that way (unless the homedir is encrypted, iirc) | 18:28 |
| Raonall | Im having problems trying to install ubuntu-16.04.3-desktop-amd64. I have tried install the it inside windows 7. Can any one help? | 18:28 |
| Allanis | Sircle: There isn't many cases where one wouldn't. but you have to explicity state it in useradd that you want it. | 18:29 |
| rollingubuntu | ducasse: what are you talking about? /home/adminuser is owned by adminuser and is in the adminuser group and /home/standarduser is owned by standarduser and belongs to the standarduser group | 18:30 |
| Allanis | Sircle: adduser will actually create all the needed stuff, so sure, just use that (Me is getting old, still using depricated stuff). | 18:30 |
| ducasse | rollingubuntu: yes, and the permissions for 'other' are set to r-x | 18:31 |
| rollingubuntu | ducasse: why would someone do that? :) usually, linux is high on security... | 18:31 |
| akik | Allanis: what's deprecated now? people use that word too often | 18:33 |
| ducasse | rollingubuntu: just modify the permissions how you want them, no biggie | 18:33 |
| Allanis | akik: I was telling Sircle to use useradd (I'm used to it from Debian). | 18:34 |
| Allanis | But adduser would be a better option for him anyway. | 18:35 |
| akik | Allanis: yea it's not deprecated | 18:35 |
| akik | i have no idea where ubuntu announces the commands that are being deprecated. would be interesting to bookmark it | 18:36 |
| um1b0zu | is there a man page for understanding users, groups and file ownership | 18:36 |
| akik | !permissions | 18:36 |
| ubottu | An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 18:36 |
| um1b0zu | thx | 18:36 |
| Sircle_ | what will this do? sudo chgrp -R developer-group /var/www/html | 18:38 |
| Sircle_ | sudo find /var/www/html/ -type d -exec chmod g=rwxs "{}" \; | 18:38 |
| Sircle_ | sudo find /var/www/html/ -type f -exec chmod g=rws "{}" \; | 18:38 |
| akik | Sircle_: it changes the group ownership of /var/www/html to developer-group recursively | 18:38 |
| akik | Sircle_: the two last lines change the directory permissions (type d) and file permissions (type f) | 18:39 |
| Sircle_ | akik, why the last two lines are needed? | 18:40 |
| akik | Sircle_: it'll go through the whole directory recursively | 18:42 |

| UBUroi | sorry if im terrible... | 19:06 |
| TJ- | UBUroi: I'd guess some liquid spilt into the keyboard :) | 19:07 |

| TJ- | UBUroi: there is a test you can do to determine if it is hardware or the Linux OS - reboot and press Escape to get to the GRUB boot menu. Press 'c' to enter command-line mode, and try typing and see if you get the same problem there. If you do NOT then the issue is likely with Linux | 19:10 |
| UBUroi | actually i have another issue | 19:10 |
| UBUroi | i Cant get the sound in my hEadphones | 19:10 |
| UBUroi | see about the selectIon? whEn i cLick? i get a whole selection Of Text | 19:11 |

| darkdrgn2k4 | filesystem not jpg | 20:24 |
| um1b0zu | wait nvm | 20:24 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | sorry | 20:24 |
| palomer | Does anyone know how to figure out how to make the Cohttp_lwt_body module available to my source file? | 20:24 |
| um1b0zu | haha | 20:24 |
| darkdrgn2k4 | tound truncate.. never mind :) | 20:24 |
| JPSman | Allanis, I just tried a different USB cable and its working :| | 20:24 |
| Budgii | Can someone tell me what happened to my folder I moved? https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/3wnPbxKXk6/ | 20:24 |
| JPSman | Allanis, Thank you for trying | 20:25 |
| Allanis | Ok. Nice. | 20:25 |
| Allanis | darkdrgn2k4: Sorted? | 20:26 |
| ioria | Budgii, take a look at your / | 20:27 |
| Allanis | Budgii: sudo chown -R alien:alien scripts | 20:27 |
| Allanis | Ohyeah | 20:27 |
| === ismael is now known as Guest53293 | ||
| Allanis | Didn't even see that. :P | 20:27 |
| Guest53293 | mmm | 20:28 |
| Budgii | Allanis, what will that do? | 20:28 |
| Allanis | Budgii: disregard, ioria answered you. | 20:28 |
| Allanis | mv scripts/ python/ | 20:29 |
| Budgii | ioria, I know I used format /foo /bar/, but the folder is now gone. how can i find it? | 20:29 |
| ioria | Budgii, gone ? with the wind ? | 20:29 |
| Allanis | Well, you moved it to /python | 20:30 |
| yosefrow_ | Budgii, basically mv scripts/ /python/ and ./python are differnt | 20:30 |
| travessia | test | 20:30 |
| yosefrow_ | the path /python is the full path | 20:30 |
| yosefrow_ | the path ./python means current-directory/python | 20:30 |
| Budgii | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/BwrJ6pRs4s/ | 20:31 |
| yosefrow_ | Budgii, try ls /python | 20:31 |
| yosefrow_ | I assume it will have the contents of your scripts folder | 20:32 |
| Budgii | thanks yosefrow! I just need to find it in folder now. | 20:32 |
| Budgii | I can find it in terminal, how can I find it in folder now? | 20:32 |
| Allanis | It's on the root of your filesystem. | 20:32 |
| Allanis | So go up as many levels as you can. | 20:33 |
| Allanis | And it will be there. | 20:33 |
| Allanis | Btw, I suggest moving it back to your user director. | 20:33 |
| Allanis | mv /python/ ~/ | 20:33 |
| yosefrow_ | Budgii, if /python is now /scripts, you can move it back to your directory with mv /python ~/python/scripts | 20:33 |
| yosefrow_ | this will mv it to ~/python which is your real python directory, and rename it to scripts | 20:34 |
| Budgii | thank you all! | 20:34 |
| Budgii | and yosefrow_, I was getting a little nervous because I lost all of my code. LOL | 20:34 |
| yosefrow_ | Budgii, yeah I can understand, Its a good practice to use git to avoid those kinds of worries | 20:35 |
| Allanis | yosefrow_: did curiosity kill the cat yet? :P | 20:35 |
| yosefrow_ | you can use a free service for code like bitbucket or gitlab to store your code remotely | 20:35 |
| Budgii | yosefrow_ what is 'git'? | 20:35 |
| Budgii | ohhhh | 20:36 |
| yosefrow_ | Budgii, git is a source control system that is diff based, meaning you commit code and it stores the changes in each commit | 20:36 |
| yosefrow_ | then you can push your git repo to a remote repo and have it stored there | 20:36 |
| yosefrow_ | if you dont want to learn git yet you can just backup your code with some free file hosting service like google drive or dropbox | 20:37 |
| Budgii | yosefrow_, so you're saying if I edit the file it updates it on the server? :D | 20:37 |
| Allanis | You push changes to the server. | 20:37 |
| yosefrow_ | Budgii, git is a bit more complicated than that. You have to push it manually, usually | 20:37 |
| Allanis | And they get indexed, so you can later review those changes etc. | 20:37 |
| Budgii | got it. I think i'll wait for now, as i'm novice with python and linux at the moment. | 20:37 |
| yosefrow_ | Budgii, but once you learn git, it will change your life as a programmer | 20:37 |
| Budgii | ah, like waybackmachine for your own code. cool. | 20:37 |
| yosefrow_ | Budgii, yes, that and more | 20:38 |
| Budgii | yosefrow_ can you send me a link so I can add it to my to do list? | 20:38 |
| yosefrow_ | Budgii, you will never be stuck with filenames like code.real.v1. code.really.real.v2.4 | 20:38 |
| Budgii | Please and thank you :) | 20:38 |
| yosefrow_ | code.old.new.real.2.3 | 20:38 |
| Allanis | github.com || bitbucket.org | 20:38 |
| yosefrow_ | !git | Budgii | 20:38 |
| ubottu | Budgii: git is a distributed revision control/software code management project created by Linus Torvalds. For more information, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_(software) | 20:38 |
| yosefrow_ | !github | Budgii | 20:39 |
| yosefrow_ | oh well | 20:39 |
| yosefrow_ | !gitlab | 20:39 |
| yosefrow_ | meh | 20:39 |
| Budgii | oh, I've heard of github | 20:39 |
| Budgii | I just thought it was an online place to share code. I guess I can interact with it through terminal?! | 20:39 |
| Allanis | Yep, you can use git locally without pushing to a remote host. | 20:39 |
| yosefrow_ | github is for storing open source code for free unless you want to pay, then you can privately host code there or at least thats how its been for a while | 20:39 |
| yosefrow_ | Budgii, yeah | 20:39 |
| Allanis | But it's always nice to use a good service, especially if you plan to calloborate with someone in the futyre. | 20:39 |
| yosefrow_ | github also lets you edit files in your browser, deal with issues, review commits | 20:40 |
| yosefrow_ | Allanis, I'm still curious about everything. I dump all my data/ideas into google keep these days | 20:40 |
| yosefrow_ | keep.google.com | 20:40 |
| yosefrow_ | I used to use text files. That got old quick | 20:41 |
| Allanis | yosefrow_: I was talking specifically about your nginx configs. | 20:41 |
| yosefrow_ | Allanis, I was working out the best way to enter maintenance mode | 20:41 |
| yosefrow_ | Allanis, I'm still not sure. require more tests | 20:41 |
| yosefrow_ | My gut feeling is that I will have a site file called maintenance that will somehow override other server_name directives when enabled | 20:42 |
| yosefrow_ | maintenance.conf | 20:42 |
| Budgii | what's keep.google do? | 20:42 |
| yosefrow_ | keep.google.com is a place to store notes | 20:42 |
| yosefrow_ | hosted by google | 20:42 |
| yosefrow_ | there is no api for it yet. But people are fighting for one | 20:42 |
| yosefrow_ | so hopefully there will be a command line tool soon | 20:42 |
| yosefrow_ | If I could find a solution with a ui like google keep and a git backend I would use it in a heartbeat | 20:43 |
| Allanis | yosefrow_: that sounds like something useful. | 20:44 |
| yosefrow_ | Allanis, I have high opes for it | 20:45 |
| yosefrow_ | high hopes* | 20:45 |
| yosefrow_ | that either google will open an API or someone will create an OS tool backed by git | 20:45 |
| Allanis | Stop it. You're giving me idea's. And I can't add another project to my list. :P | 20:45 |
| yosefrow_ | lolol | 20:45 |
| yosefrow_ | xD | 20:45 |
| Adran | by the time the api gets released they'll discontinue keep | 20:45 |
| yosefrow_ | Adran, you familiar with keep? | 20:46 |
| yosefrow_ | Honestly if you want I would help code it Allanis | 20:46 |
| Adran | i've used keep | 20:46 |
| yosefrow_ | Maybe you can borrow code from wiki.js | 20:46 |
| Budgii | neat. thanks yosefrow_. I just added a README.md through terminal to my GitHub, I already had an account I guess. Thanks!! | 20:46 |
| Allanis | Well, I'd go down the native application route. | 20:46 |
| Allanis | C++/QT. | 20:46 |
| yosefrow_ | Budgii, awesome! you're on your way to painless coding. just remember to push your code and commit frequently | 20:46 |
| Allanis | yosefrow_: come to my channel #SaraCraft if you want to discuss it. Let's keep this Ubuntu. | 20:47 |
| Budgii | I'm going to attempt putting one of my scripts up there now. :D | 20:47 |
| Budgii | yosefrow_, what's the bitbucket again? | 20:47 |
| Budgii | *for | 20:47 |
| yosefrow_ | Budgii, like gitlab, but you can keep your code private there. You can do the same in gitlab. Personally I recommend GitLab | 20:49 |
| yosefrow_ | like github* | 20:49 |
| Budgii | I was going to say, ha | 20:49 |
| yosefrow_ | unless you want to keep your code open source | 20:49 |
| Budgii | okay. so to private your code you pay | 20:49 |
| Budgii | otherwise I should be good with github? | 20:49 |
| yosefrow_ | when you go for job applications, it pays to have a well populated github account | 20:50 |
| yosefrow_ | yeah | 20:50 |
| Budgii | ah.. like a code resume. thanks for the advice! | 20:50 |
| yosefrow_ | no problem | 20:50 |
| Budgii | I need a snipping tool for sharing images via URL, I used to use gyazo but not really wanting to use that ever since i've moved to linux. suggests? | 20:53 |
| Allanis | https://pasteboard.co/ ? | 20:56 |
| palomer | I fixed my problem:) It's actually Cohttp_lwt.Body and not Cohttp_lwt_body (it's been changed in the last 2 years) | 20:58 |
| palomer | adios! | 20:58 |
| Handover901 | Hi, where are the logs located if the GUI in Ubuntu crashes? I cannot leave my PC on for more than 20-30 minutes until the GUI crashes and i cannot do anything | 20:58 |
| Handover901 | I have to reinstall Ubuntu for the 4th time | 20:58 |
| Allanis | /var/log | 20:58 |
| Handover901 | ty | 20:58 |
| Handover901 | Allanis, have u heard of my problem before though? | 20:59 |
| Allanis | Handover901: No, sorry. I use dwm. | 20:59 |
| Handover901 | dwm? | 20:59 |
| Allanis | Mhm. | 20:59 |
| Handover901 | i mean, what is dwm? never heard of it | 21:00 |
| Handover901 | what does it stand for | 21:00 |
| Allanis | d windows manager? | 21:00 |
| Allanis | :P | 21:01 |
| Allanis | https://dwm.suckless.org/ | 21:01 |
| akik | Handover901: could be in $HOME/.xsession-errors, in systemd journal (you might need to enable the persistent journal), /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 21:02 |
| Handover901 | hmm, thanks. I think this is happening if i update ubuntu | 21:03 |
| === mattd is now known as mdemo | ||
| omgwtf | I somehow lost my /home partition while making a bootable usb. I didn't double check, and used history to dd to /dev/sdb1. Computer locked up, and I did reisub, and now I can't log in (graphical interface). | 21:09 |
| Txlinux | test | 21:11 |
| Adran | omgwtf: not sure about recovery, but you could start over recreate the partition and a user directory | 21:11 |
| iNeedHealing | can I ask problems about ubuntu budgie here ? since no one there seems to take me seriously and it's an official community distro | 21:14 |
| Allanis | Hi iNeedHealing. Just ask. it'll be answered it's known. | 21:15 |
| Allanis | it it's* | 21:15 |
| iNeedHealing | if it's :P | 21:15 |
| Allanis | :) | 21:15 |
| Allanis | Shutup. | 21:15 |
| iNeedHealing | ok, my computer gets stuck loading serices while trying to load the installer | 21:15 |
| iNeedHealing | haha sorry :P | 21:15 |
| iNeedHealing | it gives me ENOTTY | 21:16 |
| iNeedHealing | and complains about GPU lockup | 21:16 |
| iNeedHealing | (I'm assuming it gets over the lockup part since it displays fine) | 21:16 |
| Outy | Handover901: you should check your pc for hardware errors | 21:17 |
| Outy | Handover901: when starting ubuntu you should have the grub boot screen. select memtest and let it run for at last 3 passes. if you have no selection screen on boot hold shift while booting | 21:18 |
| Allanis | Sorry iNeedHealing no idea. | 21:19 |
| Handover901 | hey guys, so my GUI is crashing after installing Ubuntu 16.04 Desktop and I want to copy logs. Which log file should I copy from /var/log to post on Ubuntu forum for help? | 21:19 |
| iNeedHealing | it's fine, as long as you don't give me crap about my windows that I resolved already lmao | 21:19 |
| * Allanis gives iNeedHealing crap about windows. | 21:19 | |
| iNeedHealing | :P | 21:20 |
| Handover901 | hmm okay Outy | 21:20 |
| iNeedHealing | kept telling me it was bc my NTFS partition is RO but I just bloody installed normal ubuntu 17.10 without hassle | 21:20 |
| iNeedHealing | oh well .. guess some people don't read properly | 21:20 |
| Outy | Handover901: /var/log/syslog and /var/log/dmesg | 21:21 |
| TJ- | iNeedHealing: questions: 1) which release version are you trying to install? 2) what is the make/model of the PC (or which GPU model does it have) ? | 21:21 |
| iNeedHealing | 17.10, MSI GeForce 1050 Ti | 21:21 |
| TJ- | iNeedHealing: And /Ubuntu/ 17.10 installer ran OK? | 21:22 |
| omgwtf | Adran: could you be more specific? i am running testdisk now, but I don't fully understand what I'm doing :p, or even really what i messed up. my /home was on /dev/sda | 21:22 |
| iNeedHealing | yes | 21:22 |
| Handover901 | thank you outy | 21:22 |
| TJ- | iNeedHealing: Have you done a checksum verification of the Budgie install image? | 21:22 |
| iNeedHealing | yes | 21:22 |
| Handover901 | also how could i do memtest if when i turn on the PC, it boots right into the login screen? | 21:22 |
| TJ- | iNeedHealing: Of the ISO file, or of the image on the install device itself ? | 21:22 |
| iNeedHealing | ISO and verified image with installer | 21:22 |
| iNeedHealing | installed image * | 21:23 |
| TJ- | iNeedHealing: OK, is it the Budgie 17.10 installer? | 21:23 |
| iNeedHealing | that's the one giving me problems yes | 21:23 |
| Outy | omgwtf: your data is gone! dont waste your time.. dd overwrites. you cannot rescue anymore | 21:23 |
| TJ- | iNeedHealing: OK, which ought to be using the same ubiquity installer - let me check if that is the case | 21:23 |
| Outy | omgwtf: except it did overwrite yust a few mb or gb than you can save the sorry rest | 21:24 |
| iNeedHealing | I'm pretty sure it's the ENOTTY that's screwing me | 21:24 |
| iNeedHealing | I'm using USB stick | 21:24 |
| Handover901 | one last thing, i want to run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y" into terminal but I want all output from the terminal written on a text file | 21:24 |
| Handover901 | so I can copy what was updated | 21:24 |
| BVale | hm i downloaded blender from blender.org, where do i have to put it, that it can be added to the application bar and so on ? | 21:25 |
| omgwtf | Outy: the image was only 4gigs, and i don't even know if it finished before i rebooted. also, i'm not certain i overwrote my home... it just seems like it. | 21:25 |
| Handover901 | BVale, did u install it? | 21:25 |
| TJ- | iNeedHealing: right, but that implies that is because the video driver hasn't loaded/isn't working | 21:25 |
| BVale | just unzipped it, i can start it by double clicking it | 21:25 |
| iNeedHealing | really ? | 21:26 |
| BVale | the ubuntu software store, dont have to right version, soo i need to use the version from the blender site | 21:26 |
| iNeedHealing | I thought ENOTTY was mostly because of inputs not being detected correctly | 21:27 |
| Outy | omgwtf: was there any very important data on it ??? | 21:27 |
| TJ- | iNeedHealing: TTY == TeleTYpe == console; NOTTY means no tty available for console | 21:27 |
| omgwtf | Outy: Yes. | 21:28 |
| iNeedHealing | the error said "not a typewriter" which implies ENOTTY is input issue | 21:28 |
| TJ- | iNeedHealing: I'm reading the 17.10 release notes for budgie; it says there it's the first version using the ubiquity installer, so it's possible they've not quite got it correct as yet. | 21:30 |
| iNeedHealing | aight | 21:30 |
| iNeedHealing | as you suggest | 21:31 |
| Outy | omgwtf: than you could use testdisk -> no log -> /dev/sdb -> intel -> analyse | 21:31 |
| Outy | omgwtf: that should take n hour or two | 21:31 |
| omgwtf | Outy: thank you, i will do that. | 21:31 |
| Outy | omgwtf: that is for searching to get infos of lost file system, then hope it will be discovered | 21:32 |
| Outy | omgwtf: maybe you need to choose further option deep search - do that too | 21:32 |
| Outy | omgwtf: when done write me =) | 21:32 |
| TJ- | iNeedHealing: If you've installed /Ubuntu/ successfully, maybe you could just "apt install ubuntu-budgie-desktop" ? | 21:33 |
| omgwtf | Outy: ok thank you :) | 21:33 |
| Adran | TJ-: are you familiar with mdadm? | 21:33 |
| iNeedHealing | I'll do so | 21:33 |
| TJ- | Adran: Yes | 21:35 |
| Adran | TJ-: running out of experience and options https://gist.github.com/Ttech/47cccbc4eafd0455dd1f23b5d187073a | 21:36 |
| Adran | not sure how to proceed to protect the data if any exists still | 21:36 |
| Adran | the drives are working, the nas exploded | 21:36 |
| cariveri | how to prevent ssh server from running on start up? Id liek to start it manually when ever I need. | 21:37 |
| Adran | cariveri: systemctl disable ssh | 21:37 |
| yosefrow_ | Adran, physically exploded? | 21:38 |
| TJ- | Adran: Are you sure there's a PT on there? It could be a plain whole-disk LVM. Try "sudo blkid /dev/md411" | 21:38 |
| Adran | yosefrow_: it decided that its flash storage was silly and decided to get corrupted | 21:38 |
| cariveri | Adran: doesnt that also dsiable ssh connections as a whole? | 21:38 |
| Adran | cariveri: not active ones | 21:38 |
| yosefrow_ | cariveri, systemctl disable openssh-server | 21:38 |
| Adran | TJ-: /dev/md411: TYPE="LVM2_member" | 21:39 |
| yosefrow_ | cariveri, sorry i meant systemctl disable ssd.service | 21:39 |
| yosefrow_ | sshd.service | 21:39 |
| yosefrow_ | dammit wheres my coffee | 21:39 |
| TJ- | Adran: there you go! "sudo pvscan /dev/md411" or/and "sudo vgchange -ay" then "ls /dev/mapper/" | 21:40 |
| seed_ | hello | 21:41 |
| Outy | hello | 21:41 |
| cariveri | yosefrow_: Adran Perfect . thanks guys! | 21:42 |
| Adran | TJ-: pv scan: too many parameters on command line? | 21:43 |
| yosefrow_ | cariveri, which command did you run to disable it? | 21:44 |
| TJ- | Adran: haha sorry, that's me, try "sudo pvs /dev/md411" | 21:44 |
| Adran | Failed to find physical volume "/dev/md411". | 21:44 |
| TJ- | Adran: but "sudo vgchange -ay" should active the VG and any LVs, so "ls /dev/mapper/" will list the LVs | 21:44 |
| TJ- | Adran: try "sudo pvs --verbose /dev/md411" in case it reveals anything about the missing metadata | 21:46 |
| Adran | TJ-: Using physical volume(s) on command line. Wiping cache of LVM-capable devices Failed to find physical volume "/dev/md411". | 21:46 |
| TJ- | Adran: is it active? "cat /proc/mdstat" | 21:47 |
| TJ- | Adran: it might be rebuilding still | 21:47 |
| Adran | TJ-: md411 : active (read-only) raid10 sda3[0] sdd3[3] sdc3[2] sdb3[1] | 21:47 |
| Adran | I assembled it read only in case of any data problems | 21:48 |
| Adran | why is that list out of order 0.o shouldn't it be sda3 sdb3 sdc3 sdd3 | 21:48 |
| TJ- | Adran: right, so, unless this os a problem with it being set to read-only, it looks like 'blkid' sees some LVM metadata which is why it reports LVM2_member, but possibly that is corrupted so LMV itself cannot understand it | 21:49 |
| cariveri | yosefrow_: yours. the systectl one | 21:49 |
| TJ- | Adran: is the system you've got these disk on running the same kernel version that the disk were working with? (difference in versions can sometimes cause newer metadata not to work with older kernels) | 21:49 |
| Adran | TJ-: possibly slightly newer | 21:50 |
| Adran | i can try to downgrade | 21:51 |
| TJ- | Adran: try "sudo pvdisplay --debug --ignorelockingfailure --verbose /dev/md411" | 21:51 |
| Adran | Failed to find physical volume "/dev/md411". | 21:51 |
| TJ- | Adran: No; newer looking at older is fine; it's older looking at newer that can be a problem if features from 'newer' were used that 'older' doesn't understand | 21:51 |
| Adran | TJ-: nope its def newer | 21:52 |
| TJ- | Adran: hmm, you know, "failed to find" sounds like it's not even locating the /dev/md411 node. What does "ls -l /dev/md411" show? | 21:52 |
| Adran | brw------- 1 root root 9, 411 2018-02-19 00:32 /dev/md411 | 21:53 |
| TJ- | Adran: OK, so it is a (b)lock device node, not a symlink | 21:53 |
| Adran | yeah | 21:54 |
| TJ- | Adran: I'm wondering if this system has some metadata under /etc/lvm/ you can use; there may be something in archive/ or backup/ | 21:55 |
| Adran | valid_devices=[ "/dev/md411", ... | 21:55 |
| TJ- | Adran: look in /etc/lvm/archive/ for a file with VGNAME_xxxxx.vg | 21:56 |
| Adran | no archive | 21:56 |
| TJ- | Adran: is this using the OS that originally managed this LVM VG ? | 21:56 |
| Adran | no | 21:56 |
| TJ- | Adran: ahhh, that'll be why | 21:57 |
| Adran | that OS is gone | 21:57 |
| TJ- | Adran: And no separate backups? | 21:57 |
| Adran | sorta, Loss of about 4 months beacuse the backup trigger got disabled. :( | 21:57 |
| TJ- | Adran: because without those we can't even do a manual PV recovery using pvcreate --uuid --restore ... | 21:57 |
| Adran | yeah the entire reason this started is the flash failed on my nas | 21:58 |
| TJ- | Adran: Hmmmm; recovering access to the LVM without is a big, complicated, manual, task | 21:59 |
| TJ- | Adran: if you've got backups even from some time ago those should be useful if the geometry of the LVM hasn't been changed since they were made | 21:59 |
| MrHall | Hello, someone know how can i change cpu frequency on boot? beacuase if i change with tools like cpupower when i reboot the OS lost that changes | 22:00 |
| Adran | blah | 22:00 |
| TJ- | Adran: try this "sudo vgchange -an --partial" | 22:01 |
| TJ- | Adran: it may report the UUID which is one of the values you need | 22:02 |
| Adran | PARTIAL MODE. Incomplete logical volumes will be processed. | 22:02 |

| yosefrow__ | Outy, service expectations have risen | 22:07 |
| TJ- | Adran: well that's progress; the UUID is the 32 bytes starting at offset 0220 (2 lines) | 22:07 |
| yosefrow__ | Outy, They should add "expected response time 5 mins - 1 hour" to the motd or something | 22:08 |
| Outy | yosefrow__: i had the answer =) but now he is on his own | 22:08 |

| angrybread | just learning how to use linux and doing stuff in the terminal window and my end goal is to compile a file using avr-gcc for an adruino...i think i need to use makefile but not sure...is there a good site that explains this in very basic terms so a beginner could easily understand | 22:21 |
| TJ- | Adran: does that look like your complete LVM data ? | 22:21 |
| omgwtf | Outy: i haven't even gotten to do that yet. i'm still waiting for another scan :p | 22:22 |
| Outy | omgwtf: okay =) | 22:22 |
| Outy | omgwtf: you can read this in the meanwhile: https://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step | 22:23 |
| Adran | TJ-: it looks like data repeated, dev_size is if that is in bytes, only ~23gb? | 22:24 |
| TJ- | Adran: we may not have captured all the data; might need to capture more. At the end of the file is there still intelligable lines of text, or is it short lines of random characters? | 22:25 |
| Adran | still ascii | 22:26 |
| TJ- | Adran: OK, so increase the block size and do it again, until you get random ascii at the end of the file | 22:26 |

| Handover901 | Hey, so my Ubuntu Desktop kept crashing before and I always have to reinstall it. I decided to get a copy of syslog before and after I update for the first time | 22:30 |
| Adran | sounds like drivers | 22:31 |
| Handover901 | sec, uploading | 22:31 |
| Handover901 | before update: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/KbWM4BMRkb/ | 22:31 |
| Budgii | Hi all, is there a channel where I can discuss hardware upgrade for laptops? | 22:31 |
| Adran | Budgii: there's ##hardware | 22:32 |
| Budgii | thanks! | 22:32 |
| Handover901 | after update: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/gJQW5pdM56/ | 22:32 |
| Adran | but i don't think its disallowed here | 22:32 |
| Handover901 | Adran, i posted the logs, what do u think | 22:32 |
| TJ- | Adran: It looks like there /may/ be enough there to rebuild the /etc/lvm/archive/vg1-x-${date}.vg file. Does "sudo blkid /dev/md411" should a UUID, and if so, does it match the PV UUID in the metadata you've extracted ? | 22:33 |
| Adran | ahh i thought i sent the blkid | 22:34 |
| Adran | one sec | 22:34 |
| Adran | TJ-: yes | 22:34 |
| iNeedHealing | so TJ-, what do you suggest I do now ? re-download 17.10 ? | 22:34 |
| Adran | Handover901: i don't see anything specific at tim of crash | 22:34 |
| Handover901 | the server didnt crash yet on this pc | 22:34 |
| Handover901 | its going to crash | 22:34 |
| Handover901 | Ubuntu GUI does not crash immediatly, it takes time but if i leave it overnight, it is garunteed to crash | 22:35 |
| Handover901 | So far, all I installed was TeamViewer & Virtualbox | 22:35 |
| Handover901 | I can paste the logs for that if u want | 22:35 |
| iNeedHealing | I do have Ubuntu 16.04 somewhere, should I install that then system-upgrade ? | 22:35 |
| Adran | Handover901: whats helpful is right before the logs, your system is still going to be writing | 22:36 |
| Adran | reboot, look at the last set and see whats happening at crash | 22:36 |
| Handover901 | okay will do | 22:36 |
| Jack3k3 | hello, I have ubuntu installed on a virtualbox, it was working fine but it froze up so i turned off the virtualbox nand back on, now it shows the ubuntu loading screen and then goes an all black screen with a static/frozen cursor at the top. nothing else happens | 22:39 |
| Jack3k3 | any ideas???? | 22:39 |
| iNeedHealing | TJ-: could I just download Ubuntu Server 17.10.1 and install budgie over that ? | 22:40 |
| Adran | Jack3k3: reboot, hit escape and go to recovery, see if there was some disk errors | 22:40 |
| intx | hi! what's the ubuntu package that tells you what package you need to install when you type the name of a program you don't have installed? | 22:42 |
| TJ- | Adran: OK, provided the extracted data is /ALL/ the LVM metadata, you've got the basis for recreating the /etc/lvm/archive/vg1-xxx.vg file which can be used with vgcfgrestore | 22:42 |
| TJ- | Adran: /however/ before doing that there needs to be a /complete/ backup of the md411 device because even the slightest mistake will cause corruption | 22:43 |
| Adran | :| | 22:43 |
| hal90001 | test | 22:44 |
| Adran | i have no way to backup the entirety of this volume | 22:44 |
| hal90001 | test | 22:44 |
| hal90001 | re | 22:45 |
| yeats | hal90001: do you have a support question? | 22:45 |
| Adran | TJ-: well, thank you for your help | 22:45 |
| === hal90001 is now known as Outy | ||
| Adran | more then i could have one | 22:45 |
| Outy | yeats: no i give answers here =) | 22:46 |
| yeats | intx: command-not-found | 22:46 |
| Outy | yeats: most of the time =) | 22:46 |
| yeats | Outy: ok | 22:47 |
| intx | yeats: thanks :) | 22:47 |
| TJ- | Adran: I'd suggest you do some reading about vgcfgrestore, and look at some specimen /etc/lvm/archive/*.vg files created on a test rig - that'll help you see what to expect in a valid .vg file, and how close the extracted text is to that already. I do data recovery so for me it'd probably be about 4 hours work, so it is possible. For you I'd expect 5 times that, including time spent on test-rig experimenting | 22:49 |
| TJ- | with the procedure to verify the steps | 22:49 |
| omgwtf | Outy: I don't know what i'm supposed to be seeing. | 22:49 |
| Adran | yeah | 22:49 |
| Outy | omgwtf: if deep scan is finished and if ur lucky you should see that the list shows a file system like ext2/3/4 | 22:52 |
| TJ- | Adran: the thing to be aware of is this: the extracted data may be more than is required. That area may have been written with more text on a previous occassion than was written most recently, so you have to be careful to ensure you get just the latest 'write' by carefully following the metadata structure blocks with the { .. } and [ ... ] markers | 22:52 |
| Outy | omgwtf: https://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step see: A partition is missing: deeper search | 22:53 |
| Adran | TJ-: LVM sounds awful | 22:53 |
| TJ- | Adran: in other words,, older data at the end is not overwritten by never data; new writes just use less bytes | 22:53 |
| Jack3k3 | Adran, how would i check for disk errorsr in recovery? im in a shell now | 22:53 |
| TJ- | Adran: actually it's fantastic - keeping it's metadata as text makes recovery trivial, unlike with binary metadata formats | 22:54 |
| Outy | omgwtf: if a partition is found you can select it with arrow keys and hit p to list files - if files are available you can copy | 22:54 |
| omgwtf | Outy: 2 of the partitions found in /dev/sda come back with "support for this filesystem hasn't been enable during compilation | 22:54 |
| Adran | Jack3k3: the menu should say fsck | 22:54 |
| omgwtf | Outy: the 3rd has like linux kernels in it | 22:54 |
| omgwtf | Outy: and grub etc | 22:54 |
| Adran | TJ-: when its detected | 22:54 |
| Adran | TJ-: question though, if i remount/assemble the raid array non-readonly | 22:55 |
| Outy | omgwtf: wasnt it sdb you where supposed to scan ? | 22:55 |
| Adran | and lvscan,pvscan etc are run, could that damage the data? | 22:55 |
| Jack3k3 | Adran, I tried that, no errors. However Im in the terminal and I just got a few messages from dmsg i believe: [TIME] Timed out waiting for device dev-di...\x2da844\x2db1453ea545c4.device [DEPEND] Dependency failed for /dev/disk/by-...3cc-f9e7-4160-a844-b1453ea545c4 [DEPEND] Dependency failed for Swap. | 22:55 |
| omgwtf | Outy: there isn't one? i was trying to write to sdb when all this happened, but i am pretty sure my /home is always on sda | 22:56 |
| omgwtf | Outy: testdisk doesn't show any sdb | 22:56 |
| Adran | Jack3k3: oh thats interesting, not sure why swap would be failing, whats your fstab? | 22:56 |
| grkblood13 | I completely wiped my sd card with shred --delete and now I can't see the card with fdisk -l or gparted but I can dd to it with dd of=/dev/sdb. How do I recognize it to format it in this situation? | 22:56 |
| TJ- | Adran: those tools won't write... the problem is your OS probably has /lib/udev/rules.d/* rules that call "vgchange -ay" or similar, which will activate the volumes which is when will could be written. So you might want to temporarily disable any such rules so the PVs are treated passively to begin with. | 22:56 |
| transhuman | Hi oracle virtualbox is slow as molasses on xenial anyone encounter this problem? | 22:57 |
| ikonia | useless description transhuman | 22:57 |
| ikonia | if you can't even describe the problem clearly, you'll struggle to get help | 22:57 |
| Outy | omgwtf: hmm - how many harddrives are build into your computer then ? | 22:58 |
| omgwtf | Outy: just one | 22:58 |
| transhuman | when I run oracle virtualbox the whole system slows down to a crawl | 22:58 |
| omgwtf | Outy: but its a mess of lvm partitions and luks /home | 22:58 |
| Outy | so there is no sdb... and you didn't overwrite anything with your dd command | 22:58 |
| transhuman | one vm running windows 10 | 22:58 |
| ikonia | transhuman: so you're saying when you are running a single VM guest in virtual box, your host machine is slow - not the guest | 22:58 |
| transhuman | and I mean real slow | 22:58 |
| Jack3k3 | Adran: fstab https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/sqgHZTspVY/ | 22:59 |

| ikonia | transhuman: and what resources does your machine have, and what resouces have you given to the VM | 22:59 |
| transhuman | 64 bit svm | 22:59 |
| ikonia | transhuman: where (what repo) did vbox come from ? | 22:59 |
| transhuman | 4 gig to vm out of 12 gig | 23:00 |
| ikonia | transhuman: svm ? | 23:00 |
| transhuman | https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads | 23:00 |
| transhuman | yes virtualization on amd | 23:00 |
| ikonia | transhuman: so I'd sugget you remove that and use the one provided by the ubuntu repos | 23:00 |
| Outy | omgwtf: can you do lvs in terminal ? and screen it | 23:00 |
| transhuman | vbox 5.2 | 23:00 |
| ikonia | that would be the starting point | 23:00 |
| transhuman | whats wrong with that link? | 23:01 |
| transhuman | should I use another | 23:01 |
| ikonia | transhuman: I'd also be looking at what resources where in use on the guest | 23:01 |
| ikonia | and the host | 23:01 |
| ikonia | and see if one resouce was being used enough to slow things down | 23:01 |
| Jack3k3 | Adran: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/ht6xTNDV3W/ | 23:01 |
| transhuman | top tells me its vbox that is taking up the resources | 23:01 |
| Adran | fdisk -l /dev/sda Jack3k3 | 23:01 |
| ikonia | transhuman: what resouce is it taking up | 23:02 |
| transhuman | like 90 percent of cpu | 23:02 |
| Outy | transhuman: has to do with the newly intel cpu bug patches | 23:02 |
| transhuman | 5 gig of ram and like 5 gig of swap on a new install of windows 10 | 23:02 |
| ikonia | transhuman: so there is a virtualisation setting on most bios's for the cpu to support virtual extensions, make sure that is enabled | 23:02 |
| ikonia | transhuman: and again I suggest you use the version of vbox that is supplied by the ubuntu repos | 23:03 |
| Outy | transhuman: i use v 5.1.32 everything is good with that | 23:03 |
| Jack3k3 | Adran, screencap since i cant copy/paste and typing it out is getting tiring lol https://imgur.com/a/1m5Qx | 23:03 |
| transhuman | ok i will look at those things thanks | 23:03 |
| Adran | Jack3k3: ti | 23:04 |
| Adran | your swap changed | 23:04 |
| Adran | you can either enter the new blkid or set swap to be /dev/sda5 instead of the blkid | 23:04 |
| omgwtf | Outy: how do i screen it? i know theres some way to send to pastebin from terminal, and i'm looking for it | 23:05 |
| transhuman | wtf I am screwed I have some artful and some xenial repos in here, not sure how the hell that happend | 23:06 |
| Jack3k3 | Adran how did the swap change from ubuntu freezing? | 23:06 |
| Outy | are you on ubuntu | 23:06 |
| Outy | omgwtf: ubuntu ? | 23:06 |
| transhuman | is there a fix for that? Can I just upgrade | 23:06 |
| ikonia | transhuman: I wouldn't do that | 23:06 |
| ikonia | or trust the state of your machine | 23:07 |
| transhuman | I really dont know how the hell that happened | 23:07 |
| omgwtf | Outy: well, mint | 23:07 |
| ikonia | use mint support then | 23:07 |
| ikonia | why is it this channels task to support mint | 23:07 |
| transhuman | so which came first artful or xenial? xenial? | 23:08 |
| ikonia | xenial | 23:08 |
| omgwtf | ikonia: this is not a mint specific problem | 23:08 |
