| Budgii | Anyone use System Monitor from the software center? It won't work for me | 00:11 |
| DiecastMessiah | well works for me but it was preinstalled with unity | 00:19 |
| DiecastMessiah | what desktop envoment are you using | 00:20 |
| txlinux | i could use some help. i have two problems, First Ubuntu software center does not ever finish loading when i start it up. The other is that Firefox crashes as soon as i do the update. These are both running on Ubuntu mate on raspberry pi 3. Any help would great. | 00:20 |
| txlinux | It was a fresh install. | 00:21 |
| DiecastMessiah | verson ?? 17 or 16.04 ect | 00:22 |
| txlinux | how do i find out | 00:23 |
| txlinux | 16.04 | 00:24 |
| DiecastMessiah | i havn;t used mate but there should be about this computer or something like that.. maybe in the settings | 00:25 |
| krytarik | !version | 00:25 |
| ubottu | To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 00:25 |
| txlinux | found it 16.04 | 00:25 |
| txlinux | release v=16.04,o=Ubuntu | 00:26 |
| txlinux | Distributor ID:Ubuntu | 00:29 |
| txlinux | Description:Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS | 00:29 |
| txlinux | Release:16.04 | 00:29 |
| txlinux | Codename:xenial | 00:29 |
| DiecastMessiah | i am a newbie here.. but i think i can helpwith the firefox problem.. in termial try 'sudo apt-get remove firefox' | 00:31 |
| DiecastMessiah | than sudo apt-get update | 00:31 |
| DiecastMessiah | than sudo apt0get install firefox .. | 00:31 |
| DiecastMessiah | oops last one is a - not 0 | 00:31 |
| nacc | txlinux: that would be an out of date 16.04, fwiw | 00:32 |
| nacc | txlinux: you should be at 16.04.3 by now | 00:32 |
| nacc | (regardless of kernel level) | 00:32 |
| chrometiger | ok nvidia 340 installed then i did ls -al /etc/X11/xorg.conf ; dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia and got this ls: cannot access '/etc/X11/xorg.conf': No such file or directory | 00:34 |
| txlinux | when it tries to update it says there is not enough room on the /boot. what files should i delete to allow it to run | 00:34 |
| nacc | chrometiger: xorg is not configured with a file anymore, unless needed | 00:34 |
| nacc | txlinux: first run `sudo apt-get autoremove` | 00:34 |
| chrometiger | so do i need to do anything else with the nvidia drivers once they are installed from terminal or just reboot and hope for best | 00:35 |
| Bashing-om | chrometiger: No config file is a good thing . .. only 340 installed now ? | 00:35 |
| txlinux | tried that and it still does have enough space. | 00:35 |
| nacc | txlinux: pastebin `ls -ahl /boot` and `df -h` output | 00:36 |
| txlinux | ok | 00:36 |
| monokrome | hiii! Does anyone know how to make my backgrounds tiled? Seems like latest Ubuntu lost that feature? :( | 00:43 |
| chrometiger | alright, that fixed it , thanks guys i dont know why my display drivers just changed like that it was fine one min, come back later that day and all crazy, thanks | 00:43 |
| Bashing-om | chrometiger: :) All's well that ends well . | 00:45 |
| txlinux | https://pastebin.com/92SPtJh5 | 00:46 |
| chrometiger | the only thing i had done different in the last day or two was install caffine extension for gnome, dont know if that effected anything | 00:49 |
| rizonz | guys when I stop a process by killing it it's just not stopped | 00:52 |
| rizonz | it changes proc Id | 00:52 |
| rizonz | I think the pidfile has a right issue ? | 00:52 |
| Budgii | can you go into system monitor interface? | 00:53 |
| rizonz | Budgii: it's console only | 00:53 |
| Budgii | ah okay.. sorry I don't know then :p | 00:54 |
| akik | rizonz: there's probably a systemd service monitoring it | 00:54 |
| rizonz | akik: but nothing logs it's bering restarted | 00:54 |

| rizonz | it's in 17.10 | 00:55 |
| rizonz | I installed th version from erm, the 18.x version btw | 00:55 |
| akik | rizonz: journalctl -xef | 00:55 |
| akik | rizonz: then kill the process and see the journalctl output | 00:56 |

| resc_051b3_2852 | i don't know where it is on Gparted | 01:06 |
| nacc | txlinux: your /boot is so small as to be useless. and is on an sd card? | 01:06 |

| resc_051b3_2852 | it's a desktop' but my Os won't boot anymore im on Rescatux Linux recovery distro | 01:21 |
| resc_051b3_2852 | so how can i do that moan? | 01:21 |
| bazhang | resc_051b3_2852, you 'messed around' with disk formatting/partitioning software? | 01:22 |
| resc_051b3_2852 | yes bazhang | 01:23 |
| resc_051b3_2852 | i was trying formatt my usb key to create W10 one and i did | 01:23 |
| bazhang | resc_051b3_2852, so you formatted the OS | 01:23 |
| resc_051b3_2852 | but then in all keys gave me just read can't copy anything anymore | 01:23 |
| resc_051b3_2852 | and then when i did reboot the Os vanished and it says insert right boot key | 01:23 |
| resc_051b3_2852 | http://paste.debian.net/1011250/ | 01:24 |
| bazhang | resc_051b3_2852, what exactly are you trying to rescue at this point | 01:24 |
| resc_051b3_2852 | rescatux gave me this | 01:24 |
| resc_051b3_2852 | im trying get all files back i had important things on it | 01:24 |
| resc_051b3_2852 | is it possible bazhang ? | 01:24 |
| mutante | resc_051b3_2852: better get them from the backup | 01:24 |
| bazhang | resc_051b3_2852, you had them backed up as they were important, right? | 01:24 |
| resc_051b3_2852 | no i did not sadly | 01:25 |
| resc_051b3_2852 | it was folders | 01:25 |
| mutante | wait.. it's the combo of "no backups" plus "messing around with disk formatting tools" plus "important things that cant be replaced" ? | 01:25 |
| resc_051b3_2852 | so you mean the Os is gone even if Gparted can still see it? | 01:25 |
| mutante | in that case.. take it as a lesson. i'm very sorry for your loss | 01:25 |
| resc_051b3_2852 | it just says umounted | 01:25 |
| bazhang | resc_051b3_2852, what does sudo fdisk -l | 01:26 |
| resc_051b3_2852 | ill do the command from the resque distro im on Rescatux one sec | 01:26 |

| resc_051b3_2852 | is this log of any help bazhang ? | 01:32 |

| bobomb | is there a simple way short of multiseat to share an x session with two independently controlled sets of mouse/keyboard? | 01:33 |
| resc_051b3_2852 | Thanks Alott | 01:33 |
| resc_051b3_2852 | i need restart Rescatux when you ready as Gparted froze when i did try recover files | 01:33 |
| resc_051b3_2852 | from Os | 01:34 |
| resc_051b3_2852 | now works back | 01:34 |
| mecotri | Every time I play a sound the first second gets cutoff. Short sounds don't play at all. This has been the case over a half dozen computers and Ubuntu releases. What causes it and how can I finally put a stop to it? | 01:34 |
| bobomb | i see lots of ways to share one set of mouse/keyboard amongst multiple instances, i see ways of setting up completely independent x sessions complete with seperate monitors or over the network | 01:35 |
| resc_051b3_2852 | ill send you also the screenshot of Gparted from Rescatux bazhang | 01:36 |
| bobomb | but two mice and two keyboards on one PC with one monitor is impossible to find | 01:36 |
| bazhang | root@debian:/home/user# resc_051b3_2852 what's that? is that the rescatux recovery? | 01:37 |
| mecotri | bobomb, the ability to use two keyboards at once or two keyboards on one machine but not at the same time? | 01:37 |
| resc_051b3_2852 | yes im from rescatux recovery distro from usb | 01:37 |
| resc_051b3_2852 | how do i take screenshot bazhang as i got no gui for it here | 01:37 |
| bobomb | at the same time | 01:37 |
| resc_051b3_2852 | i want send you Gparted also | 01:38 |
| bobomb | but not interrupting eachother | 01:38 |
| bobomb | two mice, but not interrupting eachother | 01:38 |
| bazhang | resc_051b3_2852, well check if this recovery disk has testdisk/photorec on it, that's probably your only hope | 01:38 |
| bobomb | like two users should be able to open two windows in one workspace and do their own things | 01:38 |
| resc_051b3_2852 | how i dod that bazhang ? | 01:38 |
| bazhang | resc_051b3_2852, a screenshot wont make a difference at this point | 01:38 |
| bobomb | swapping focus | 01:38 |
| bobomb | of course | 01:39 |
| bazhang | resc_051b3_2852, how do you do what | 01:39 |
| mecotri | It's possible. I did it once trying to use a numpad as a macro keyboard and one keyboard as a normal. It was a nightmare but I can find the guide I used. | 01:39 |
| resc_051b3_2852 | testdisk photorec i mean ? | 01:39 |
| bobomb | i mean i see the complications | 01:39 |
| bobomb | but some way of separating the two sets of input devices, mostly the pointer | 01:39 |
| bazhang | resc_051b3_2852, you are using something rescatux I have no idea about, were it an ubuntu usb I could help | 01:40 |
| bobomb | it assumes two users in one physical space that can talk and cooperate | 01:40 |
| mecotri | bobomb, be warned based on your graphics situation the windows will flicker. I could use both keyboards at the same time independently on two different windows but it flickered bad with an Nvidia GPU and closed drivers. | 01:40 |
| resc_051b3_2852 | my Os is linux mint | 01:40 |
| bazhang | resc_051b3_2852, ask that OS maker if they have testdisk/photorec on it | 01:40 |
| resc_051b3_2852 | you want i burn the Ubuntu Usb to try recover it? | 01:40 |
| bazhang | resc_051b3_2852, MINT is not supported here | 01:41 |
| bobomb | even just a stable two-mouse solution | 01:41 |
| bobomb | would be great | 01:41 |
| resc_051b3_2852 | i know but is still Ubuntu i don't know where else get help | 01:41 |
| resc_051b3_2852 | you want i make Ubuntu usb key? | 01:41 |
| bazhang | resc_051b3_2852, you should have told us it was MINT from the get go, you need to find the mintsupport people and ask them | 01:41 |

| mecotri | bobomb, this isn't the guide I followed but looks like the steps are about the same with the same ultimate goal. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Multi-pointer_X | 01:42 |
| resc_051b3_2852 | thanks bazhang i found the testdisk what you advise me do now? | 01:43 |
| resc_051b3_2852 | i will go there afther | 01:43 |
| bazhang | resc_051b3_2852, no help with MINT here, please ask the MINT people | 01:43 |
| bobomb | YES! i just saw that too. multiple pointers with seperate keyboard focus | 01:43 |

| Derpadong | Hello folks. Im trying to get 4 Nvidia 1030 cards to run all at one time but I dont know where to start. Could anyone please help me? | 01:43 |
| yuan | any people? | 01:44 |
| resc_051b3_2852 | how do i go to this server bazhang ? | 01:44 |
| bazhang | Derpadong, for mining? | 01:44 |
| resc_051b3_2852 | irc.spotchat.org | 01:44 |
| bobomb | it should be called "soft" multiseat not "crude" multiseat | 01:44 |
| Derpadong | bazhang, Yes. | 01:44 |
| bazhang | Derpadong, what miner software are you using | 01:44 |

| strive | Phew. | 01:45 |
| DiecastMessiah | resc_051b3_2852: will help ya in pm | 01:45 |
| Derpadong | bazhang, Nothing yet and I dont know what the person is going to be using. I just need to get the cards seen by ubuntu | 01:45 |
| strive | I was feeling edgy... | 01:45 |
| bazhang | DiecastMessiah, he left | 01:45 |
| bazhang | Derpadong, the miner software can easily pick that up | 01:46 |
| Derpadong | The thing is I can only see 1 card | 01:46 |
| Derpadong | Not all 4 | 01:46 |
| bobomb | "As of 24 December 2016, only multicursor-wm (development stops around 2011) supports multi-pointer. " | 01:46 |
| Derpadong | bazhang, nvidia-smi shows only 1 | 01:46 |
| bazhang | Derpadong, cryptobadger.com has many guides for how to get that going | 01:47 |
| bazhang | Derpadong, they specialize in helping with Linux, including ubuntu | 01:47 |
| Derpadong | bazhang, Even nvidia 1030 cards? | 01:49 |
| bazhang | Derpadong, I'd need to dive through their extensive lists to answer that | 01:50 |
| Derpadong | I cant seem to get these cards seen and it is very odd | 01:50 |
| bazhang | Derpadong, thats why it would help to have the actual person who's going to run this go give us more info about what they are mining, what miner software etc | 01:51 |
| Derpadong | I know | 01:52 |
| Derpadong | lol | 01:52 |
| bazhang | Derpadong, so you can either go to that website for them and read through the lists, or tell them to have a look at it, many of them aslo have channels here on freenode | 01:52 |
| bazhang | also | 01:53 |
| Kel | Intermittent issue with detatching screen and logging out of my shell resulting in all PIDs killed by SystemD when I come back. Have changed /etc/systemd/logind.conf ; No good. I'm aware of https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=825394 but none of that is helping either. Any ideas? | 01:53 |
| ubottu | Debian bug 825394 in systemd "systemd kill background processes after user logs out" [Normal,Fixed] | 01:53 |
| bobomb | is this still true in 17.10 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/MPX | 01:53 |
| Kel | (and if it matters, I am on 17.10 and Linode. Lassie is turned off.) | 01:53 |
| mecotri | bobomb, I found the guide I followed before but it had basically the same instructions as the Arch wiki (https://superuser.com/questions/367882/windows-manager-which-allows-multiple-active-windows-multiple-input-devices). Sorry. Minus the flickering I thought it worked for me on 17.04. I played with it a bit before rebooting to get back to normal. | 01:55 |
| === bijan_ is now known as bijan_awaaaay | ||
| bobomb | that is an old article and it seems like MPX is a standard since ubuntu 10 but is it still in there in 17? | 01:58 |

| Euph0ria | nacc: Ty for your advice earlier. | 02:11 |
| brenster21 | So I am dualbooting windows and ubuntu and i need to expand my ubuntu parition. But my laptop keyboard has gone kaput and the usb keyboard doesnt work in Grub. So I want to use grub customizer to change the order to bootable linux USB, windows, than ubuntu. than remove the USB to boot to windows, then after i am done shutdown and plug it back in. | 02:21 |
| brenster21 | Do you think my idea will work | 02:21 |
| * brenster21 is using grub customizer | 02:21 | |
| cfhowlett | brenster21, grub customizer is well known for causing unpredictable ubuntu behavior. should stop you from trying though. | 02:22 |
| Triffid_Hunter | brenster21: bios should have an option for legacy usb, that should make your kb work in grub | 02:35 |
| Triffid_Hunter | brenster21: the OSes may not like it, my bios has an additional option, something like "legacy until OS takes over" | 02:35 |
| === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash | ||
| brenster21 | Truffud_hunter thank you | 02:41 |
| brenster21 | cfhowlett how do I uninstall grub customizer | 02:41 |
| brenster21 | and how do i change my grub settings? | 02:41 |
| cfhowlett | never used it so can't say. | 02:41 |
| brenster21 | ah | 02:41 |
| begati | Hi, did someone tried to install Ubuntu on Samsung Chromebook 3 (CELES)? I got no audio, even updating the kernel. | 02:42 |
| brenster21 | Triffid_Hunter idk if legacy is enabled. | 02:42 |
| Mead | I'm having trouble configuring a network interface in lubuntu (#lubuntu is a ghost town), anyone here feel like helping me trouble shoot? | 02:44 |
| kenrin | What kind of interface, like giving it an address ? | 02:44 |
| Mead | I'm trying to configure my ethernet interface to share internet (wifi connection to AP) and it keeps saying "disconnected" | 02:46 |
| kenrin | What says disconnected, the ethernet? Did you set it up right using nm-connection-editor ? | 02:52 |
| Mead | kenrin: the ethernet | 02:53 |
| Triffid_Hunter | is it plugged in? | 02:54 |
| Mead | it is plugged in to a 5 port unmanaged switch | 02:54 |
| kenrin | Are the lights on ? | 02:54 |
| Mead | yes | 02:55 |
| cookiecutter | brenster21: i’ve used grub customizee | 02:55 |
| cookiecutter | worked fine | 02:55 |
| Mead | well they are now, I set it manual and gave it an IP, let me switch it back. | 02:56 |
| brenster21 | cookiecutter what do you think of my plan? | 02:58 |
| * brenster21 needs grub to boot to windows once then back to ubuntu. without the use of a keyboard in grub | 02:59 | |
| Mead | I disabled the interface changed's it's ipv4 "method" to "shared to other computers" and now a block box keeps appearing at the top right of my screen saying disconnected. Other hosts connected, and other clients/hosts connected to the switch aren't getting leases | 03:03 |
| Mead | err Other hosts connected to the switch aren't getting leases | 03:03 |
| kenrin | Did you have the auto connect to this network box checked? and reboot ? | 03:04 |
| kenrin | Also do you have something for them to get leases from? like dnsmasq or network-manager dhcp options? | 03:06 |
| Mead | I didn't see a box to check for "auto connect" and a reboot wouldn't help since I've live booted | 03:06 |
| Mead | kenrin: I thought it set that up automatically when you chose "shared to other computers" | 03:07 |
| kenrin | it should but it depends on your system, I have no clue what applet lubuntu uses | 03:08 |
| kenrin | I know regular ubuntu uses network-manager and it takes care of all that | 03:08 |
| Mead | I bet "network-manager" isn't installed out of the box, lubuntu is super tiny | 03:09 |
| === newdimension_ is now known as newdimension | ||
| kenrin | If you can see the connection address in the details for the ethernet, you could try to give the client PC manually address in the same subnet | 03:09 |
| Mead | kenrin: I'd still need to set up routing | 03:10 |
| kenrin | Or you could see if dnsmasq is working and check the config file | 03:10 |
| kenrin | /etc/dnsmasq.conf interface=eth0(or whatever) dhcp-range=192.168.0.2,192.168.0.254,72H should be all you need then start it | 03:11 |
| kenrin | I'm just using that as example, it'll depend on what address the ethernet has | 03:12 |
| ryzah | hello | 03:12 |
| Mead | hum, dnsmasq.conf doesn't exist | 03:13 |
| kenrin | You probably don't have the right things installed on that livecd then | 03:13 |
| kenrin | For it to even work with shared connections | 03:13 |
| Mead | I'm coming to the same conclusion | 03:14 |
| Mead | I should have known I was in trouble when I had to install something to get ifconfig | 03:15 |
| kenrin | Well that doesn't mean anything, net-tools are deprecated in favor of ip route | 03:16 |
| kenrin | You could probably still set it up using iptables | 03:16 |
| kenrin | Depends how much work you want to do, versus just using a regular ubuntu livecd | 03:17 |
| cfhowlett | Mead, is this a regular ubuntu livecd? cause you should have at least had ifconfig available. | 03:17 |
| Mead | I... don't want to mess with iptables I know that much | 03:18 |
| Mead | cfhowlett: [20:43] <Mead> I'm having trouble configuring a network interface in lubuntu (#lubuntu is a ghost town), anyone here feel like helping me trouble shoot? | 03:18 |
| cfhowlett | ah. lubuntu. | 03:18 |
| Mead | I'm trying to do this on an old atom/ion nettop (ddr2 ram old) so, I thought lubuntu would be a good choice | 03:20 |
| kenrin | Just do it on iptables, it isn't THAT bad: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing | 03:21 |
| Mead | I built a openwrt image for it, but openwrt doesn't support a local gui interface that I want as well. | 03:21 |
| Mead | kenrin: I mess with IP tables a while back, lets just say me and iptables don't get along. | 03:23 |
| Mead | kenrin: Could you suggest a ubuntu derivative to use instead lf lubuntu? I would like a light weight gui that wouldn't bog down my ancient dual core atom processor. | 03:37 |
| cfhowlett | xubuntu | 03:38 |
| monokrome | Does anyone know how to get nVidia proprietary drivers to show up in the software GUI? | 03:38 |
| cfhowlett | enable third party and partners software sources, IIRC monokrome | 03:38 |
| monokrome | Also, if anyone knows how to make the background tile - it seems like that isn't in the GUI any more? | 03:38 |
| monokrome | cfhowlett: oooh thanks :) | 03:38 |
| cfhowlett | happy2help! | 03:39 |
| kenrin | That would be easier to put connection sharing on? I have no idea. I use lubuntu on my old laptops too | 03:39 |
| cfhowlett | Mead, actually, you can test this super easily. sudo apt install xfce4 logout, choose the xfce session and login. you can then test the desktop environment. if you like it, get the full meal deal with sudo apt install xubuntu-desktop | 03:40 |
| amazoniantoad | Is it possible to create a LVM group on a remote disk mounted over sshfs? Please say yes | 03:40 |
| Mead | kenrin: connection sharing? That is what thought was doing. | 03:41 |
| monokrome | Hmm, cfhowlett... Didn't seem to show up after that. Maybe it requires a reboot? O_o | 03:41 |
| cfhowlett | monokrome, sudo apt update or refresh | 03:41 |
| kenrin | Anything light weight isn't going to have dnsmasq or networkmanager configured already or a nice applet for it =/ | 03:41 |
| cfhowlett | i.e. refresh software sources | 03:41 |
| monokrome | cfhowlett: I did that :o | 03:42 |
| monokrome | "Additional Drivers" only shows the intel microcode driver :o | 03:43 |
| cfhowlett | monokrome, my bad. nvidia are in the restricted category it seems https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia | 03:43 |
| monokrome | Those are enabled too! :o | 03:43 |
| cfhowlett | huh. OK then. hate to suggest it but ... reboot! try again | 03:44 |
| Mead | I found an xbuntu image from last march in my hord of downloaded files, I'll try that. If I can configure the internet sharing on a live boot, I'll install it. | 03:46 |
| monokrome | cfhowlett: No luck w/ reboot eithher | 03:48 |
| monokrome | :'( | 03:48 |
| amazoniantoad | why cant I see the remote disk in fdisk after mounting via sshfs? | 03:50 |
| Triffid_Hunter | amazoniantoad: because sshfs doesn't provide a disk, it mounts a remote filesystem | 03:57 |
| cfhowlett | sorry monokrome, please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia you could download from there then sudo dpkg -i foo.deb | 04:01 |
| testhuman | so idk if people are gonna yell at me for asking this | 04:02 |
| Mead | WHY WOULD WE YELL AT YOU? | 04:02 |
| testhuman | but i'm trying to install 16.04 LTS and the live usb says its 17.04 | 04:02 |
| testhuman | As does the 17.10 usb | 04:03 |
| testhuman | both downloaded today from the ubuntu site and installed to usb via rufus | 04:03 |
| Mead | rufus doesn't always change the volume label | 04:04 |
| testhuman | I mean even using the terminal while in the live usb says it's 17.04 | 04:05 |
| Mead | well go back to rufus and remake the usb | 04:05 |
| testhuman | I've done that twice today | 04:05 |
| testhuman | both 16.04 LTS and 17.10 | 04:05 |
| Mead | did you install one of them to the system? | 04:06 |
| testhuman | 17.04 is already installed on the system, i attempted to upgrade to 17.10 a few weeks ago and it exploded | 04:07 |
| testhuman | Now i am trying to clean install | 04:07 |
| Mead | sounds like it might not be booting from the usb live drive | 04:07 |
| testhuman | I manually selected the usb drive from bios | 04:08 |
| testhuman | The actually installed 17.04 boots to blank desktop and blank top bar since the upgrade | 04:08 |
| testhuman | So i'm pretty sure im in the live usb version because it actually boots | 04:09 |
| cfhowlett | testhuman, 17.04 is well past it | 04:09 |
| cfhowlett | it's supported life. | 04:09 |
| testhuman | Yeah, that's how i got in this mess in the first place | 04:10 |
| Euph0ria | People think, ubuntu! New version! It must be better! Fixes, upgrades, features! ...nope. | 04:10 |
| testhuman | Pulseaudio exploded one day, i tried to reinstall it but i couldn't connect to the packages because they change the damn servers when they EOLd 17.04 | 04:10 |
| testhuman | I retargeted the update thing but then decided "why not upgrade to 17.10 while i'm at it" | 04:11 |
| testhuman | and that's where it all went wrong | 04:11 |
| Euph0ria | testhuman: My audio died when I did an upgrade to 7.04 also. Also, 17.10. | 04:11 |
| testhuman | It's a long story, but pulseaudio simply stopped working on my already in place 17.04 install. | 04:12 |
| Euph0ria | I tried the 7.04 and 7.10 liveCD/USBs and no audio on either of those even. | 04:12 |
| Euph0ria | 16.04.3 tho, audio works like a charm. | 04:12 |
| testhuman | I'm trying to go to 16.04 LTS so get 3 years before ubuntu wrecks my shit again | 04:12 |
| cfhowlett | testhuman, is there a specific reason you are not using the LTS releases? 16.04.3 is current | 04:13 |
| testhuman | because i was dumb enough to install 17.04 in the first place | 04:13 |
| testhuman | I realize i'm a moron but i didn't think my story would be too hard to follow | 04:13 |
| cfhowlett | OK ... download 16.04.3 and install. bang. you have 5 years of support or you can stay put until the next LTS release, 18.04 | 04:13 |
| Euph0ria | it's not like it was 17.04 alpha/beta release. Can't blame you for thinking a newer version would be better. | 04:14 |
| testhuman | Yeah, which brings me back to what i came in here for, the Live USB i just made an hour ago off the ubuntu site with rufus says it's 17.04... | 04:14 |
| testhuman | The 16.04 LTS | 04:14 |
| testhuman | live usb | 04:15 |
| testhuman | Like, the install icon on the desktop says "Install Ubuntu 17.04" | 04:15 |
| testhuman | and checking the version in the terminal also says 17.04 | 04:15 |
| testhuman | on a 16.04 LTS live usb | 04:15 |
| Euph0ria | testhuman: my guess is it's 17.04, and maybe you need to find a new source for 16.04. :D | 04:16 |
| testhuman | Yeah, i just downloaded again from a mirror | 04:16 |
| testhuman | I'm going to reflash that. | 04:16 |
| Euph0ria | wipe the usb clean too, maybe? | 04:16 |
| testhuman | About to. Thank god i have a functioning laptop | 04:17 |
| Euph0ria | And just use the Startup Disk Creator tool to write the ISO to the USB? | 04:18 |
| testhuman | i've been using rufus, is that not the look these days? | 04:18 |
| cfhowlett | inconsistent results. | 04:18 |
| Euph0ria | testhuman: The Startup Disk Creator is a "safer" option. | 04:18 |
| testhuman | oh also does startup disk creator work in windows | 04:20 |
| testhuman | i've never used it before. | 04:20 |
| cfhowlett | no. ubuntu only. | 04:20 |
| testhuman | oh lmao, looks like it doesnt. | 04:20 |
| Euph0ria | testhuman: No. It's a linux utility. There are programs liks SARDU for Windows thoough. | 04:20 |
| testhuman | Yeah, i'm on my Win10 laptop right now. | 04:21 |
| testhuman | My desktop is the machine where all these nightmares have occurred | 04:21 |
| AngelKde | testhuman: created usb live whit rufus en windows | 04:22 |
| testhuman | Furthermore, I am dual-booting on my desktop and I'd really like to save Windows on it | 04:23 |
| testhuman | save the Windows install on it | 04:23 |
| testhuman | But the botched upgrade doesn't give me a grub menu anymore, just boots straight to my trashed ubuntu install | 04:24 |
| Euph0ria | Once you get it going and GRUB loading, it should see windows and dual-boot for you. | 04:25 |
| testhuman | Yeah. I just don't want to nuke the drive because it will kill windows. I'm remaking the USB in rufus right now since there don't appear to be too many reputable options on windows | 04:25 |
| cfhowlett | there's a good chance that the installation worked but grub is fragged. how to repair? boot from an ubuntu USB, chroot your system and reinstall grub | 04:25 |
| testhuman | cfhowlett: I will consider that option if this Live USB keeps fucking with me | 04:26 |
| testhuman | I guess the bonus there would be also saving my original linux install | 04:27 |
| Euph0ria | testhuman: Well, maybe your /home dir, providing you put it on a separate partition. | 04:27 |
| testhuman | also my apologies for storming into the channel and spamming SAVE ME, i'm just mad desperate right now | 04:27 |
| testhuman | Euph0ria: a separate partition from root? | 04:28 |
| Euph0ria | testhuman: Yes. It's usually always good practice to put your /home dir on a seperate partition. | 04:29 |
| testhuman | intredasting | 04:30 |
| strive | Euph0ria: Why's that? | 04:30 |
| AngelKde | testhuman: sure as Euph0ria recommends you and the best choice | 04:30 |
| testhuman | I don't even remember if i did that or not | 04:30 |
| testhuman | We will find out soon. | 04:30 |
| Euph0ria | strive: Why is what? Putting your /home dir on a seperate partition? Like the use of another filesystem, or not loosing all your stuff in the event the root filesystem crashes and burns? | 04:31 |
| testhuman | either way its NBD, there's not much i need to save on my linux install anways | 04:31 |
| testhuman | I've come to terms with the gravity of my mistakes haha | 04:32 |
| ngie | hey all how is everyone | 04:32 |
| Euph0ria | strive: among other reasons. | 04:33 |
| Euph0ria | ngie: dandy, you? | 04:33 |
| strive | Euph0ria: Noted. Thank you. | 04:34 |
| testhuman | Update: my bios is now locking up. Fun times. | 04:34 |
| ngie | cant complain | 04:34 |
| ngie | just chilling out | 04:35 |
| ngie | just runing ubuntu in a vm | 04:35 |
| ngie | getting use to it again | 04:35 |
| ngie | i like gaming so ...i prefer to do most things on linux then just play games using windows | 04:35 |
| Euph0ria | ngie: Good way to get familiar with it. | 04:36 |
| Euph0ria | ngie: especially if you're using Win10. | 04:36 |
| ngie | which i am | 04:36 |
| ngie | lol | 04:36 |
| Euph0ria | :D | 04:36 |
| ngie | god its been so long since i was even on irc | 04:37 |
| testhuman | Yeah, that was the whole purpose of dual booting for me in the first place. Too paranoid to use Win10 for general usage. | 04:37 |
| ngie | i remember the days ...where this is were i got all my warez from | 04:37 |
| ngie | mpgs apps games .... | 04:37 |
| ngie | mp3 | 04:37 |
| Euph0ria | I don't do much gaming, and what gaming I do doesn't require DX11,12,... And with all the scary crap in Win10, I'm sticking with Win7Pro for my windows needs. Solid as a rock. | 04:37 |
| ngie | jpgs | 04:37 |
| ngie | lol | 04:37 |
| ngie | yea im just using it for veryvery basic functions | 04:38 |
| ngie | but moslty just games | 04:38 |
| ngie | then on linux to do anything else | 04:38 |
| Roden | oh man! | 04:39 |
| ngie | dont even have to download a torrent client with ubuntu ..lol | 04:39 |
| Roden | did anyone get my messages about gparted? | 04:39 |
| ngie | already got noe | 04:39 |
| ngie | one | 04:39 |
| Euph0ria | ngie: Is windows 10 your host for your VM? | 04:39 |
| ngie | yea | 04:39 |
| Euph0ria | ngie: Which VM software do you use? | 04:40 |
| ngie | vmware | 04:41 |
| Euph0ria | Good call. | 04:41 |
| ngie | used it alot of the years ....so i guess you go back to what ya know | 04:41 |
| === Mead is now known as mead | ||
| ngie | you just run ubuntu straight? no vm | 04:42 |
| Euph0ria | That and it's awesome. I run VmWare on a minimal ubuntu install running XFCE as the host, and run everything else in VM. | 04:43 |
| ngie | know what was strange i downloaded mint first ..as i use to run that ...after i learnt on ubuntu ..pretty much same same ...but didnt reconize the iso | 04:43 |
| Euph0ria | ngie: Mint is a Ubuntu baby, just with the DTE being Mate/Cinnamon and a few custom packages. | 04:45 |
| ngie | yep yep | 04:45 |
| Euph0ria | But yeah, pretty much the same thing. | 04:45 |
| ngie | but vmware didnt reconize it | 04:45 |
| Euph0ria | That's odd. | 04:45 |
| ngie | yea i know | 04:46 |
| ngie | so where ab0uts you from mate | 04:46 |
| Euph0ria | You should be able to mount the ubuntu/debian/etc ISO for linux tools. | 04:47 |
| Euph0ria | err VmWare tools. | 04:47 |
| ngie | yea ...if i could be bothered pressing a couple of buttons ...but i just did express setup | 04:47 |
| ngie | and it didnt pick it up ...but the ubuntu iso was fine | 04:48 |
| Euph0ria | It's been awhile since I've had to do that but I don't use Mint. | 04:48 |
| ngie | yea was just easier using ubuntu | 04:48 |
| ngie | :P | 04:48 |

| ngie | lol | 04:50 |
| ngie | fucking australia gov blocks torrent sites now | 04:51 |
| Euph0ria | ngie: So, off topic, you rejoining IRC via Freenode? Used to be EfNet, Undernet and DALnet back in the day, but they've all shrunk into near obscurity. | 04:51 |
| ngie | and movie streams sites also | 04:52 |
| Euph0ria | ngie: VPN? | 04:52 |
| ngie | correct | 04:52 |
| ngie | sorry vpn | 04:52 |
| ngie | yea i was mostly a efnet guy ..lol | 04:52 |
| Euph0ria | Virtual Private Network tunneling. | 04:52 |
| ngie | for all the lastest warez needs | 04:52 |
| ngie | oh you were talking about the blocking | 04:53 |
| ngie | lol | 04:53 |
| ngie | yes i have to use a vpn now | 04:53 |
| ngie | to access the sites ... | 04:53 |
| Euph0ria | Like, privateinternetaccess bought Freenode, pretty much, and they're a decent VPN still at that. | 04:53 |
| Triffid_Hunter | ngie: I'm Australian.. didn't know they'd blocked anything though, haven't been there in a couple years | 04:53 |
| Triffid_Hunter | Euph0ria: orly? that's the one I use | 04:53 |
| ngie | yea triff | 04:53 |
| Triffid_Hunter | using it in china of all places fwiw | 04:53 |
| Euph0ria | Triffid_Hunter: Good value for their 2 year setup. Pass all the requirements for a good private VPN. | 04:54 |
| ngie | you havnt been to australia for a few ...or torrent sites for a few? | 04:54 |
| Triffid_Hunter | Euph0ria: there's a 2 year plan now? is that new? | 04:54 |
| Triffid_Hunter | ngie: australia :P all the movies here are in chinese with chinese subtitles; not much fun for this aussie | 04:55 |
| ngie | lol | 04:55 |
| ngie | i have a mate that moved over there 20 years ago now | 04:55 |
| Euph0ria | Triffid_Hunter: Somewhat. Check the site. Just better savings, and I'm gonna be usign them for at least that long. | 04:55 |
| ngie | to teach english | 04:55 |
| ngie | is that you justin??? lol | 04:55 |
| testhuman | mother of god, i'm gonna lose my mind. Now my desktop keeps hanging at bios | 04:55 |
| Triffid_Hunter | Euph0ria: I've been using them longer than that already | 04:55 |
| Euph0ria | Triffid_Hunter: Me too. lol | 04:55 |
| Triffid_Hunter | ngie: nah I've been here just 2.5y and that ain't my name | 04:56 |
| testhuman | Zero hardware issues until now. Boot device light is on. Fun stuff. | 04:56 |
| Euph0ria | testhuman: It won't boot the liveUSB? | 04:56 |
| ngie | well 26 mil to 1 ...thought i give it a go | 04:56 |
| ngie | :P | 04:56 |
| testhuman | Euph0ria: can't even make it into BIOS now | 04:56 |
| Triffid_Hunter | ngie: hmm there's at least half that many people in this city alone :P | 04:56 |
| ngie | lol | 04:57 |
| Euph0ria | testhuman: :o Um, sounds like that goes beyond the scope of #ubuntu. :( Maybe turn it off and let it sit for a bit. It might be tired. | 04:57 |
| testhuman | im about 10 minutes from smoking myself stupid and just saying fuck it for tonight | 04:57 |
| ngie | yea so they have brought in this law now where they ban all the torrent sites and anything else they believe is not good ..lol | 04:58 |
| ngie | we are now a police state | 04:58 |
| ngie | soon ...ill need to show id to buy something....its going to be nazi australia ..lol | 04:58 |
| cfhowlett | off-topic in the support channel ngie. better discussed in #ubuntu-offtopic perhaps | 04:58 |
| testhuman | i have hard restarted probably 20 times at this point so im gonna give it a rest | 04:59 |
| cfhowlett | testhuman, give yourself a rest as well. | 04:59 |
| testhuman | Yeah, I'm thinking I | 04:59 |
| testhuman | I | 04:59 |
| ngie | sheesh | 04:59 |
| ngie | nazi ubuntu ..lol | 04:59 |
| Euph0ria | testhuman: Yep, cold power it down and start fresh when you have less smoke around. | 05:00 |
| Triffid_Hunter | testhuman: years ago I had a friend whose computer used to do that during the day.. turns out the sticker had fallen off his bios eprom and the incident sunlight was temporarily flipping bits | 05:00 |
| ngie | lol | 05:00 |
| testhuman | I'll give it 10 mins or so to chill out and if it doesn't want to cooperate then, i'll just hop into some Vicky 2 on my laptop and give it another go tomorrow. | 05:00 |
| cfhowlett | Triffid_Hunter, o - m - g. how did he suss that one out? | 05:00 |
| testhuman | Triffid_Hunter: That sounds like an utter nightmare to troubleshoot | 05:01 |
| Triffid_Hunter | cfhowlett: he lost a lot of hair before stumbling on the problem and consequently evident solution | 05:01 |
| ngie | that crazy | 05:01 |
| cfhowlett | Triffid_Hunter, I think that one might deserve an entry in the hall of infamy | 05:01 |
| testhuman | This is why i left IT | 05:01 |
| ngie | lol | 05:01 |
| Euph0ria | Yep. I'd have just bought a new MB long before then. :D | 05:02 |
| ngie | that and ...you make 40 bucks for building systems ..lol | 05:02 |
| testhuman | accounting may have a higher suicide rate but the numbers leave less to chance. Less hair pulling. Except when Quickbooks breaks.. | 05:02 |
| ngie | i always suffered from people wanting there 386 to run like a quadcore | 05:03 |
| ngie | its only 5 yrs old why is it running so slow | 05:03 |
| ngie | lol | 05:03 |
| Euph0ria | lol | 05:03 |
| ngie | thats how i first started using ubuntu | 05:05 |
| ngie | shitty computers laying around .. | 05:05 |
| ngie | and everyone wanting to get online in the house | 05:06 |
| Euph0ria | Can always set it up as a terminal for a thinmachine. | 05:06 |
| Euph0ria | err, thinclient. | 05:06 |
| ngie | then done that | 05:06 |
| ngie | what does that invovle | 05:06 |
| Euph0ria | Run a VM on another, faster machine, use the 386 to remote in. | 05:07 |
| ngie | oh ok | 05:07 |
| ngie | never even thought of it | 05:07 |
| ngie | this was along time ago now though | 05:07 |
| Triffid_Hunter | ngie: haha yeah I remember being at a friend's place and they were getting abysmal performance on cable.. rolled a linux box from spare parts they had lying around and all was well | 05:07 |
| Euph0ria | You'd need vSphere or even ESXi and it'll do all the load balancing and all that. The host computer just needs to be fast enough to handle the remmote access. | 05:08 |
| ngie | this was the out dial up days | 05:08 |
| Triffid_Hunter | ngie: funniest part was this was in the mid-2000s and I rolled a 386SX with 16MB ram, put smoothwall, and it beat the utter pants off their cots router | 05:08 |
| ngie | hahahaa | 05:08 |
| ngie | and everyone was blue screening everyone else lol | 05:09 |
| ngie | the old no firewall dail up modem attack | 05:09 |
| ngie | ill packet attack you for saying that ....lol | 05:10 |
| ngie | irc wars | 05:10 |
| ngie | lol | 05:10 |
| Triffid_Hunter | ngie: heh ctcp ping ath0+++ ? | 05:10 |
| Euph0ria | ngie: Oh, I remember all that. The damn college students had the freaking T1 connections and could disconnect you just with a ping attack. lol | 05:10 |
| ngie | yea lol | 05:11 |
| Triffid_Hunter | my modem had guard time so was immune | 05:11 |
| Triffid_Hunter | needed 50ms of silence on the serial before it would accept mode switch to AT | 05:11 |
| ngie | everyone was in awe of a t1 connection | 05:11 |
| ngie | lol | 05:11 |
| Triffid_Hunter | that whopping 64k? yeah, 28.8 was painful | 05:12 |
| ngie | serving the warez to the masses | 05:12 |
| ngie | lol | 05:12 |
| Euph0ria | Oh the nostalgia. | 05:12 |
| ngie | and looking for open ftps to upload to...for warez | 05:12 |
| Euph0ria | Or IRC DCC server. | 05:12 |
| ngie | yea | 05:12 |
| ngie | laughs...memorys of irc | 05:13 |
| ngie | i remember waitng days to download a movie | 05:13 |
| ngie | and when you got it ...you were like wow! | 05:14 |
| Euph0ria | When MP3 was cutting edge. And XviD was a revolution. | 05:14 |
| ngie | yes | 05:14 |
| ngie | i remember when mp3 were only something you got from irc | 05:14 |
| ngie | lol | 05:14 |
| Euph0ria | I used Usenet a lot. | 05:15 |
| ngie | arhh ok | 05:15 |
| Euph0ria | alt.bin newsgroups for almost anything you could imagine. | 05:15 |
| ngie | oh god | 05:15 |
| testhuman | Alright, thanks for the help guys. I'm going to give it another crack tomorrow. | 05:15 |
| ngie | i use to love newsgroups | 05:15 |
| Euph0ria | Started there, then migrated to other places, like IRC. | 05:16 |
| ngie | max out your connectino | 05:16 |
| ngie | connection | 05:16 |
| Euph0ria | testhuman: Good luck and relax for now. | 05:16 |
| ngie | i forgot all about newsgroups | 05:16 |
| ngie | good luck TH | 05:16 |
| testhuman | Peace out peeps, I'll be sure to update y'all at some point. | 05:17 |
| ngie | roger that | 05:17 |
| testhuman | This could be a great excuse to finally pick up a 1TB 850 Pro and start fresh. | 05:17 |
| ngie | when torrents first came out ....i thought this wont work | 05:18 |
| ngie | but it went totally insane | 05:18 |
| ngie | lol | 05:18 |
| ngie | pretty much killed irc and newsgroups | 05:18 |
| Euph0ria | ...napster, clones of napster, then DC+, then torrents. | 05:18 |
| ngie | oh napster | 05:18 |
| ngie | god i loved that program | 05:19 |
| ngie | lol | 05:19 |
| ngie | i had so many HDD connected ..and sharing | 05:19 |
| Euph0ria | Same here. Almost a whole terrabyte! | 05:19 |
| ngie | lol | 05:19 |
| ngie | yep | 05:20 |
| ngie | i went crazy when i goot a 300kbs connection | 05:20 |
| Euph0ria | I still have some IDE hard drives I need to look through, just for nostalgic reasons. | 05:20 |
| ngie | lol | 05:20 |
| Euph0ria | Find my old chat logs, maybe images and ascii art from my BBS days. | 05:21 |
| ngie | lol | 05:21 |
| ngie | ascii art | 05:21 |
| ngie | lol | 05:21 |
| ngie | too funny | 05:21 |
| Euph0ria | ANSI art. Color and animation. :D | 05:21 |
| ngie | and .wav files | 05:21 |
| ngie | they were big back then | 05:22 |
| Euph0ria | Adlib, then SoundBlasters.. | 05:22 |
| Euph0ria | IRQ juggling. | 05:22 |
| ngie | i couldnt believe how many people were on freenode | 05:22 |
| ngie | thought it was a mass of buts | 05:23 |
| ngie | bots | 05:23 |
| ngie | lol | 05:23 |
| ngie | prob is on alot of channels | 05:23 |
| ngie | i remember watching convos in channels of people thinking that were talking to someone | 05:23 |
| ngie | but it was just a but | 05:23 |
| ngie | bot | 05:23 |
| ngie | lol | 05:23 |
| Euph0ria | Lots of people idling. It's probably the most regulated IRC network. Freenode, then DalNet, then Undernet, then EfNet was just a total free-for-all. | 05:23 |
| ngie | yea | 05:24 |
| ngie | i use to be on efnet mostly | 05:24 |
| purplepod | many of us use a znc or other bouncer. leaves a client connected 24/7, we just connect to it when we want/have time | 05:24 |
| Euph0ria | Yep. It was the biggest. | 05:24 |
| ngie | was alot of fun | 05:25 |
| ngie | no facebook or shit like that | 05:25 |
| ngie | back then | 05:25 |
| Euph0ria | Yep! | 05:25 |
| ngie | xxx passwords | 05:26 |
| Euph0ria | Before ICQ even, which was like, the first instant messenger. | 05:26 |
| ngie | omg | 05:26 |
| ngie | omg i forgot about icq | 05:26 |
| ngie | everyone that was on irc ...pretty much had a icq acct | 05:26 |
| ngie | the little green flower | 05:26 |
| ngie | lol | 05:26 |
| Euph0ria | I still remember my ICQ ID#. | 05:27 |
| Euph0ria | Doesn't work anymore, but I remember it. | 05:27 |
| ngie | omg thats amazing | 05:28 |
| ngie | i remember my username on ..here from 20 odd yrs ago | 05:28 |
| ngie | but thats about it | 05:28 |
| Euph0ria | Kinda like remembering my phone number as a kid growing up in the 70's | 05:29 |
| ngie | how old are you Euph | 05:29 |
| Euph0ria | ngie: 43. | 05:29 |
| Euph0ria | I'm old old school. I remember chiseling my first dumb terminal out of stone... | 05:29 |
| ngie | blahaha | 05:30 |
| ngie | same | 05:30 |
| ngie | turn 43 in dec | 05:30 |
| ngie | so im a young43 | 05:30 |
| ngie | lol | 05:30 |
| ngie | how got a ubuntu question ...lol something different | 05:31 |
| ngie | whats the best program to scan for viruses before copying them over the windows | 05:32 |
| Euph0ria | Something on topic. Wow. It's slow in here at the moment. | 05:32 |
| ngie | there all here they just like watching | 05:32 |
| Euph0ria | On Ubuntu? Not a lot of AV software for Linux. ClamAV maybe, but I'd setup a network SMB to your VM and scan the files using something like Avira Free. | 05:34 |
| ngie | SMB? | 05:34 |
| cfhowlett | !malware | 05:34 |
| cfhowlett | !antivirus | 05:34 |
| ubottu | Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to Windows computers (perhaps using Samba). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 05:34 |
| Euph0ria | err, a network share. SMB is just a windows compatible network sharing service. | 05:35 |
| ngie | oh ok | 05:35 |
| ngie | thanks CF | 05:35 |
| ngie | samba huh | 05:35 |
| ngie | lets have a looky | 05:35 |
| ngie | i was like why is the writing in russian ..lol...bloody proxy | 05:36 |
| ngie | lol | 05:36 |
| ngie | arhh i dont need samna | 05:37 |
| ngie | samba | 05:37 |
| ngie | as vmware lets ya drag drop | 05:37 |
| Euph0ria | Yes, but then it doesn't get scanned before moving it. | 05:37 |
| ngie | ohhhh | 05:37 |
| ngie | so samba will scan it before moving...correct? | 05:38 |
| Euph0ria | Not that dragging-dropping wouldn't work, so long as you were careful not to run any executables. lol | 05:38 |
| ngie | lol | 05:38 |
| Euph0ria | But I thought the idea was to scan them before they touched Windows soil. | 05:38 |
| ngie | yes | 05:39 |
| ngie | it is | 05:39 |
| ngie | thats the plan | 05:39 |
| ngie | like most games i buy for online use ....but i like downloading them and seeing if i like em ..so i normally get a pirate copy | 05:40 |
| ngie | but i do like to scan for trojans and shit | 05:40 |
| Euph0ria | It's worth looking into anyway, if you plan on using Ubuntu/Windows together. | 05:40 |
| ngie | what should i be looking into | 05:40 |
| ngie | a smb? | 05:40 |
| ngie | or samba | 05:40 |
| ngie | whats the best way to go about this | 05:41 |
| Euph0ria | Networking your linux machine with windows. | 05:41 |
| ngie | its only vmware ...not 2 different computers | 05:41 |
| Euph0ria | Lookup info on samba. | 05:41 |
| ngie | ok | 05:41 |
| Euph0ria | ngie: Yes, but you can network the two together, the VM, and the host. Make your linux share read-only and run your scans from there. | 05:42 |
| Euph0ria | Err, run Windows AV software to scan whatever you've downloaded on the ubuntu VM. | 05:43 |
| michael2 | hi, I am runnig a live USB of ubuntu 16.04. my apt config tells me there is a whole bunch of packages available on my "cdrom" - does anyone know how I can install packages from this cdrom? | 05:43 |
| cfhowlett | michael2, install? as in permanent install? on a live session? nope | 05:45 |
| ngie | ok so i can scan files on the ubuntu vm if i run a smb? | 05:46 |
| ngie | brb smoke | 05:46 |
| michael2 | cfhowlett: you can install packages into a live USB session with ubutntu - they will only persist for the session though | 05:47 |
| cfhowlett | precisely my point | 05:47 |
| cfhowlett | assuming the cdrom is enabled as a software source, sudo apt install package name or dpkg -i foo.deb | 05:47 |
| === neunon is now known as Guest15252 | ||
| Euph0ria | michael2: Add the CDrom as a source like cf said, refresh your sources, then see what you have to choose from. Will you have internet connectivity on your livecd session? | 05:49 |
| Euph0ria | michael2: Because if you do, just use to grab temporarily lived software. | 05:50 |
| Euph0ria | err, just use your internet connection to download the latest whatever. | 05:51 |
| michael2 | Euph0ria: the CDrom is pre-enabled as a source - however apt-cache policy seems to tell me priority will be give to the packages on archive.ubuntu,com apt server - so I have commented them out of /etc/sapt/sources.list - and about to apt-get update now | 05:53 |
| Euph0ria | ngie: Yes, you can setup a samba share on your linux VM so your windows can mount and scan. | 05:54 |
| === neunon_ is now known as neunon | ||
| ngie | thanks | 05:54 |
| michael2 | Euph0ria: I will have intermittent internet access - but trying to force installs from the cdrom where possible | 05:54 |
| Euph0ria | ngie: Maybe one day you'll want to setup a file-server running ZFS and knowing a bit about networking will come in handy that way. | 05:55 |
| michael2 | Euph0ria: hope that makes sense - what I just said | 05:55 |
| Euph0ria | michael2: I see. You won't be able to install anything too elaborate. | 05:56 |
| Euph0ria | Really, I wish apt worked more like torrents for conditions like spotty or slow internet connections. | 05:56 |
| Euph0ria | Or rather, there was a torrent-like alternative. | 05:57 |
| Euph0ria | right now, it works just like an FTP transfer. If it fails, you gotta start all over again. | 05:57 |
| Euph0ria | Well, except there's resuming but you risk corruption. | 05:58 |
| michael2 | Euph0ria: if the apt server was hosted on nginx - apt could send an http "range" header -e.g. Range: bytes=2994-333303 | 05:59 |
| Euph0ria | michael2: In any case, it's rather ill-equiped for a spotty internet connection. | 06:00 |
| michael2 | Euph0ria: if you are running journaling file system like ext4 - you can generally resume without corruption | 06:00 |
| Euph0ria | michael2: I mean data corruption from the interrupted/resume of the transfer, not corruption on the filesystem. | 06:01 |
| Euph0ria | And you won't know if it's corrupt or not until it's finished and a checksum is done. | 06:01 |
| michael2 | no im meant you shouldn't get corruption of the file - and checksum should be unnessary - unless the source actually changed in the time during the interuption | 06:03 |
| michael2 | I enabled the cdrom - its looks like ive got 32 packages available from cdrom - does that sound rught? | 06:04 |
| Euph0ria | michael2: lol, stopping and resuming files makes data corruption (not the file on the filesystem) increasingly likely. If you use a package manager, it usually runs a checksum check on the file to make sure you haven't missed or corrupted any data during the transfer, or you can do it yourself manually. | 06:05 |
| Euph0ria | michael2: Honestly, I have no idea. I haven't used a cdrom as a source for packages in ages. | 06:06 |
| Euph0ria | I couldn't guess which distro has what packages as a source on it. | 06:07 |
| michael2 | how is data corruption even possible? the filesystem wont proceeed to updating the file and block information until in _knows_ its good. any lost of connectivity - even a physicall power loss shouldn't corrupt any data that gets referenced. yes partiaally written data on disk willbe bad but no program will ever know of its existence - thats all part of filestysem design | 06:12 |
| Euph0ria | michael2: You're confusing filesystem corruption with corruption of a datastream. | 06:14 |
| Euph0ria | michael2: The filesystem is irrelevant. | 06:15 |
| Euph0ria | I'm talking about corruption that can happen when you start/stop a transfer several times over a spotty internet connection. | 06:15 |
| michael2 | so you're saying the application is getting bad tcp packets ? | 06:16 |
| Triffid_Hunter | sure, last time I checked the tcp checksum only covers the header, not the payload | 06:17 |
| Euph0ria | michael2: If you have a spotty internet connection, the possibility of data corruption becomes more likely, and you can find yourself with a corrupt file. ..not a corrupt filesystem as the FS has nothing to do with what I'm talking about. | 06:20 |
| Euph0ria | lol | 06:20 |
| Euph0ria | wow. | 06:20 |
| Euph0ria | Thinking it's time for a bit of sleep. | 06:26 |

| Lope | I've installed ubuntu on an encrypted LVM volume called foo. then I installed ubuntu again on another encrypted LVM volume. I used the same ext4 partition for grub and didn't format it the 2nd time, but the installer removed my foo_crypt boot entry and I didn't back it up. | 07:48 |
| Lope | I've booted up in the non encrypted LVM volume's ubuntu. I've mounted foo_crypt with luksOpen. I ran update-grub but it has not found foo_crypt, even though it's shown in `fdisk -l` | 07:49 |
| Haris | hello all | 07:53 |
| lotuspsychje | welcome Haris what can we do for you | 07:54 |
| Haris | I have run a laravel cli command for queue. Its showing 3 different process IDs. https://pastebin.ca/3976196 . Is this one process running or multiple php processes that its running. I need this explaination for demonstrating something to someone | 07:55 |
| TJ- | Lope: As I said in ##linux yesterday, when installing multiple distros with a single boot manager, only OS should install/use GRUB. This is especially true with an encrypted alternate install since the other OS's don't know how to access the encrypted install and therefore tools like os-prober cannot discover the encrypted OS, and therefore it doesn't get added to GRUB's menu | 07:55 |
| TJ- | Grrr, typo ... "... only one OS ..." | 07:56 |
| lotuspsychje | Haris: seems like there's a big #laravel channel | 07:56 |
| Haris | Yes. I'm already there | 07:56 |
| Haris | my query is ubuntu related | 07:56 |
| Haris | I'm running laravel's command. But my question is regarding output from ps on shell on ubuntu | 07:57 |
| Haris | please verify | 07:57 |
| === led2 is now known as led1 | ||
| TJ- | Haris: looks like you've got 2 php processes there, 25768 and 26959 | 07:58 |
| Haris | yes. I know that | 07:58 |
| Haris | I believe this is output from ubuntu's version of ps | 07:58 |
| Haris | on centos I don't get output like this | 07:58 |
| Haris | for the same command | 07:58 |
| TJ- | so the answer is "multiple php processes" | 07:59 |
| Haris | are you sure ? | 07:59 |
| Haris | I'm running a single command. how can it be running multiple procs ? | 07:59 |
| TJ- | Haris: it shows 2 different command lines, 2 different PIDs | 07:59 |
| Haris | I know its showing two PIDs | 07:59 |
| TJ- | Haris: presumably one launches/forks another ? | 07:59 |
| Haris | ofcourse, its a possibility | 08:00 |
| Haris | please, Is anyone else in the community active at this time ? | 08:00 |
| TJ- | Haris: you're better off using the POSIX rather than BSD flags for 'ps' though, they show the Parent PID too, as in "ps -efly | grep php" | 08:00 |
| lotuspsychje | Haris: can pstree help? | 08:00 |
| === Haris2 is now known as Haris | ||
| Haris | got disconnected | 08:08 |
| Haris | is pstree available with this same name on 14.04.5 ? | 08:09 |
| lotuspsychje | Haris: should be, man pstree | 08:11 |
| Haris | why the heck does ubuntu show one process that's running in shape of multiple processes in output from ps ? | 08:14 |
| Haris | it confuses people | 08:14 |
| Flannel | Haris: Do you have an example? I'm not sure I follow. | 08:16 |
| Haris | I have run a laravel cli command for queue. Its showing 3 different process IDs. https://pastebin.ca/3976196 . Is this one process running or multiple php processes that its running. I need this explaination for demonstrating something to someone | 08:17 |
| Haris | its method of showing output is becoming reason of causing confusion | 08:17 |
| Haris | ..for a layman coder/developer | 08:17 |
| Haris | this ( sh -c "/usr/bin/php5" artisan queue:work --queue="default" --delay=0 --memory=128 --sleep=3 --tries=3 --env=local ) part is not showin in output on centos. no one gets confused there. on ubuntu when I'll show this output to someone, they'll never believe its only one php laravel queue listen main process and one php laravel worker processes running | 08:20 |
| Flannel | Haris: So, that only shows php running once (the first line). Everything else is your invocation of it through the shell. ps shows processes. | 08:20 |
| Haris | %s/showin/showing/ | 08:20 |
| Haris | on centos, for e,g, this line starting with sh is not shown | 08:20 |
| Haris | why does ps on ubuntu show it ? | 08:21 |
| Haris | is there a way for me to "remove" this method of its output ? | 08:21 |
| Haris | invocation or display | 08:21 |
| Flannel | Haris: And you're 100% sure you're invoking it identically on centos and ubuntu? | 08:21 |
| Haris | yes | 08:21 |
| Haris | the line starting with sh is extra in output from ps on ubuntu | 08:22 |
| Amichai | trying to connect to a sa, | 08:22 |
| Haris | extra info that ubuntu is showing or extra method of invocation or running something on shell on ubuntu | 08:22 |
| Flannel | Haris: And the shells are all the same? | 08:22 |
| Haris | yes | 08:22 |
| Haris | bash | 08:22 |
| Flannel | Haris: ubuntu uses dash for sh. | 08:22 |
| Amichai | trying to connect to a samba printer on ubuntu 16. cannot browse the printers on the domain | 08:22 |
| Haris | let me check | 08:23 |
| Flannel | Haris: so, change that to bash -c yadda yadda and see if it's identical. | 08:23 |
| Haris | in output of set|egrep -i shell, its showing me | 08:23 |
| Haris | SHELL=/bin/bash | 08:23 |
| Haris | SHELLOPTS=braceexpand:emacs:hashall:histexpand:history:interactive-comments:monitor | 08:23 |
| Amichai | when I click the domain name it comes up empty after a short while | 08:24 |
| Haris | is this dash or bash ? | 08:24 |
| Flannel | Haris: your interactive shell is bash, but a /bin/sh shebang will default to dash. | 08:24 |
| Haris | yes! | 08:25 |
| Haris | can I do away with this ? | 08:25 |
| Haris | does using bash in place of dash have any shortcomings ? | 08:25 |
| Flannel | Haris: like I said, try invoking that command with bash -c "/usr/bin..." instead of sh -c, see if it makes a difference. | 08:25 |
| Haris | ok | 08:26 |
| Haris | although .. ok .. let me try first | 08:26 |
| Flannel | Haris: bash is heavier, which is why the default sh was switched to dash. | 08:26 |
| Amichai | anyone? | 08:26 |
| Flannel | Haris: But honestly, you should just teach whomever is reading your output to not freak out. | 08:27 |
| Haris | I tried | 08:27 |
| Haris | believe me, I'm still doing it, as I speak here | 08:27 |
| ducasse | Flannel: the reason it show that as two processes is that they are. one is the shell that starts php, the second is php itself | 08:28 |
| ducasse | *shows | 08:28 |
| Flannel | ducasse: I know. | 08:28 |
| ducasse | that was for Haris, sorry | 08:28 |
| Flannel | ducasse: I have a feeling he knows too. | 08:28 |
| Flannel | Haris: did invoking it with bash directly get rid of the second layer of shell? | 08:30 |
| Haris | yes | 08:30 |
| Flannel | Haris: makes sense. You're just using bash to call php, instead of bash calling dash calling php. | 08:31 |
| Lope | TJ-: thanks dude | 08:31 |
| Lope | TJ-: I'm trying to setup grub manually and having trouble finding what files to edit | 08:32 |
| Haris | awesome | 08:32 |
| Haris | thank you all | 08:32 |
| Flannel | Haris: Note, if you're using a different interactive shell, and then specifying bash, you'll have the same "problem" | 08:33 |
| Lope | /boot/grub/grub.cfg says I must not edit it. Though in the past I've edited this file with success, the problem is it gets klobbered just by upgrading grub2 package or upgrading a kernel etc | 08:33 |
| Lope | if I look in /etc/grub.d/ there are a bunch of scripts there that don't really look like I should be editing them | 08:33 |
| Lope | They're a lot more complicated than grub.cfg | 08:33 |
| EriC^^ | Lope: you can edit /etc/default/grub or /etc/grub.d/40_custom | 08:33 |
| EriC^^ | what are you trying to edit? | 08:34 |
| Lope | Eric: I've got 2 ubuntu 16.04 installed on the same computer. | 08:34 |
| Lope | One is inside an encrypted LVM, one is inside a non-encrypted LVM. | 08:34 |
| Lope | I first installed the encrypted one, and that booted. Then I installed the non encrypted one, and it removed the grub entry of the encrypted one. | 08:35 |
| Lope | Now in the non-encrypted ubuntu I've mounted the encrypted ubuntu LVM volume and then I ran update-grub, but OS-prober didn't find it. | 08:36 |
| EriC^^ | Lope: reinstall grub from encrypted one and update-grub from there | 08:36 |
| Lope | Well, the question is how can I boot the encrypted one? chroot into it? | 08:36 |
| EriC^^ | yeah | 08:36 |
| Lope | So you reckon it'll see the non-encrypted ubuntu volume? | 08:37 |
| EriC^^ | yeah it should | 08:37 |
| Lope | okay, thanks | 08:37 |
| EriC^^ | np | 08:37 |
| Lope | then the next question, can I make /boot/grub/grub.cfg read only? | 08:38 |
| Lope | so it doesn't get messed up by either distro? | 08:38 |
| Lope | after I've got it working | 08:38 |
| Mathisen | just make a copy | 08:38 |
| EriC^^ | Lope: if it's a separate /boot partition they won't touch eachother | 08:38 |
| Lope | Mathisen: I don't want it to break every time I run apt-get upgrade or dist-upgrade | 08:38 |
| Mathisen | it wont | 08:39 |
| Lope | eric: it's one /boot partition for both installations | 08:39 |
| EriC^^ | that's complicated | 08:39 |
| Mathisen | Lope, you should have mentioned that | 08:39 |
| Lope | I've got sda1: /boot (for both) sda2 EFI, sda3 LVM, LV1(ubuntu encrypted) LV2(ubuntu not-encrypted) | 08:39 |
| aaa_ | hello | 08:40 |
| Lope | Sorry, but the above should make it clear | 08:40 |
| EriC^^ | Lope: i think the encrypted one won't add the non-encrypted one in that case | 08:40 |
| badboyjer | who likes blob blog? | 08:40 |
| Mathisen | nope it wont, need to edit 40_custom and add it manual | 08:40 |
| Lope | okay, well I might as well give it a try. | 08:41 |
| Lope | Then I'll just remove grub2 from the non-encrypted one. | 08:41 |
| bazhang | badboyjer, thats not topical here | 08:41 |
| Lope | (if it works) | 08:41 |
| TJ- | Lope: I'm thinking you might need to add your own /etc/grub.d/40_custom code that you 'teach' how to unlock the encrypted LVs and help os-prober/grub-mkconfig create menuentry's for them | 08:48 |
| Lope | update-grub on the encrypted ubuntu didn't find the non-encrypted ubuntu. | 08:49 |
| Lope | I've just run it from the encrypted ubuntu and it's probably removed the unencrypted one now hehe. | 08:49 |
| Mathisen | Lope, side question: how exactly did you chroot into the install | 08:50 |
| TJ- | Lope: might be worth looking at the os-prober code; I recall I added additional logic to it once to detect side-by-side installs like you're doing, but that was many years ago before I switched to testing in VMs | 08:51 |
| Lope | Mathisen: I booted into the non-encrypted ubuntu (the last one that was installed and only one that was in grub) then I ran luksOpen on the encrypted LVM. Then I mounted it. Then i `cd'd` into it. Then I ran mount -o rbind for boot dev proc and sys. Then I chrooted into it. Made an etc resolv.conf file and it was functional. | 08:53 |
| Mathisen | ok :) looks good | 08:53 |
| Mathisen | was just asking, seen a few just chroot and thats it and forget the rest | 08:54 |
| TJ- | Lope: tip. "mount --bind /etc/resolv.conf /target/etc/resolv.conf" :) | 08:55 |
| Lope | Boot failed now. And keyboard is not working in the grub screen. | 08:55 |
| Lope | haha. cool. I normally just slap 8.8.8.8 on it | 08:56 |
| Lope | Installation is broken now. Can't boot haha | 08:56 |
| Lope | Bugger. | 08:56 |
| Lope | Okay I'm going to get this working in a VM on my main computer, will be easier to copy and paste stuff. | 08:56 |
| Lope | It dies saying /dev/mapper/foo_crypt does not exist. | 08:57 |
| Lope | So it seems the chrooted encrypted LV didn't know it is encrypted. | 08:57 |
| Lope | It's not good that update-grub overwrites other OS boot entries. | 08:59 |
| Lope | I'm not saying I can make it work better, but it's not ideal :) | 08:59 |

| ritzx | Hello :) Is this possible to completely disable IPv4 on ubuntu and use it as an ethernet bridge to vm only? | 09:31 |
| ritzx | and keep gui working on host | 09:31 |
| monokrome | ritzx: How do you want the ethernet bridge to VM to work? IPv6? | 09:35 |
| ritzx | monokrome, arp I guess | 09:35 |
| ritzx | (it's very easy in windows by disabling all protocols in drivers except vm-specific bridge) | 09:35 |
| ritzx | drivers -> interfaces | 09:36 |
| monokrome | ritzx: Doesn't ARP use IPv4? | 09:36 |
| monokrome | I mean, like, won't the addresses resolve to IPv4 addresses? | 09:36 |
| monokrome | ritzx: Also, usually I think you'd configure this sort of behavior on your VM host instead of guest | 09:37 |
| ritzx | monokrome, generally I don't care about arp, my ideas is for it to use macs and just route traffic | 09:37 |
| ritzx | idea* | 09:37 |
| ritzx | monokrome, yes I want to configure host to just route traffic without using ip | 09:38 |
| ritzx | ipv4 | 09:38 |
| Mathisen | ritzx, i think you should take a tripp to ##networking | 09:38 |
| monokrome | Oh. You are writing a new protocol to replace the IPv4 so that ARP resolves to MAC addresses? | 09:38 |
| ritzx | Mathisen, good idea | 09:38 |
| ritzx | monokrome, as I said, I don't care about arp really, I just want it to act as ethernet-level bridge | 09:39 |
| ritzx | from what I've heard it works in win10 easily | 09:39 |
| monokrome | ritzx: What is your Ubuntu host using for your VMs? | 09:40 |
| monokrome | Sounds more like a VBox / VMWare / whatevs question | 09:40 |
| === bijan_ is now known as bijan_awaaaay | ||
| ritzx | monokrome, not really as it's about host configuration | 09:40 |
| SwedeMike | ritzx: you can try to compile your own kernel with ipv4 as a module, and then blacklist it. However, it's probably easier to just tell ubuntu to not enable IPv4 on the interface at all (basically set the ipv4 address to 0.0.0.0) so it doesn't use it for anything. | 09:41 |
| SwedeMike | ritzx: you can set interface to "unmanaged" which should mean it shouldn't really do anything IPv4 related on there. What is your reason to completely remove ipv4 from that interface, security? | 09:41 |
| ritzx | SwedeMike, yes sec | 09:42 |
| ritzx | SwedeMike, and vt-d seems to be an overkill | 09:42 |
| ritzx | for now | 09:42 |
| SwedeMike | ritzx: well, from what I can see IPv4 is build into the standard ubuntu kernel, so only way to really achieve what you're talking about it so compile your own kernel. | 09:42 |
| SwedeMike | ritzx: if you really really want to be sure. | 09:43 |
| ritzx | SwedeMike, I was hoping for a simple solution, for instance ipv6 seems to be easily disabled | 09:43 |
| SwedeMike | ritzx: but then again, I imagine some things will not be happy when there is no 127.0.0.1 etc, so it might be better to just try to disable IPv4 on that interface configuration wise. | 09:43 |
| ritzx | I am a little worried that disabling ipv4 will break gui etc. Is this the case? | 09:43 |
| jink | ritzx: Did you try? | 09:44 |
| ritzx | jink, just "researching" atm | 09:44 |
| SwedeMike | ritzx: https://serverfault.com/questions/269599/disabling-ipv4-and-use-only-ipv6-in-ubuntu has some suggestions | 09:44 |
| jink | ritzx: Doesn't research include trial and error? | 09:44 |
| monokrome | ritzx: I would expect a lot of apps to be hella surprised if you had 0.0.0.0 as your IP address | 09:54 |
| Mrokii | Hello. I have an issue with a gamepad (MS XBox 360 wired). Sometimes, when it's plugged in, the mousecursor moves on its own to the left, constantly. The same happens in games within Steam, but as it also happens on the desktop, I assume it's a problem of Ubuntu itself. Any thoughts? | 09:54 |

| Lope | TJ-: I'm wanted to see if the ubuntu installer will be more intelligent this time. I've installed one ubuntu in an encrypted LVM. That works. Now I've booted up into the ubuntu live USB. And I've mounted that encrypted volume the same name as it would be mounted by the first install. Then I installed a 2nd non-encrypted installation in another LV. But it didn't find the foo_crypt installation. | 10:18 |

| hendryirvin | hello, why my bluetooth is not detected when i turned on my laptop? i must restarted it first then the bluetooth become available | 10:28 |
| TJ- | Mithran: "connection timed out" suggests the Windows host isn't on the network, or is not listening for SMB/CIFS connections | 10:28 |

| Richard_Cavell_ | Hello everyone. Yesterday I upgraded my 16.04 64-bit MATE install to 17.10, and then rebooted. This is what my screen looks like now: https://twitter.com/Richardcavell/status/966088565162684421 | 10:33 |
| Richard_Cavell_ | I can get to a root prompt but cannot boot any kernel. Recovery mode doesn't successfully boot either. | 10:33 |
| Mithran | TJ-: i can ping from windows to ubuntu, but ubuntu to windows is not showing | 10:33 |

| zetheroo | what is the latest status on ZFS in Ubuntu? Is it officially supported? | 10:38 |
| brainwash | zetheroo: it is supported https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Reference/ZFS | 10:43 |
| ducasse | zetheroo: for data storage, yes, not for the root fs | 10:44 |
| zetheroo | I see | 10:46 |
| zetheroo | ducasse: would you know why it's not supported for root fs? | 10:47 |
| ducasse | zetheroo: not really, i just know the installer is not set up to deal with it | 10:48 |
| Lope | TJ-: I'm trying to get the system to be able to boot both installations. But if I just add the crypt grub entry to the non-crypt grub.cfg it doesn't work. I've compared the /boot/grub directores, and x86_64-efi/core.efi and grub.efi have different checksums. | 10:50 |

| Richard_Cavell_ | Is it possible to use an Ubuntu 16.04 live DVD to install over the top of an existing Ubuntu installation? (without erasing the extra files that are already there)? | 10:52 |
| jink | I'm trying to figure out what you want to do. Can you run a live CD and mount your existing file system? Sure. Can you install without reformatting the disk? Not so sure. Why would you want that, anyway? | 10:53 |
| jink | What do you hope to achieve? Why the need to (re?)install? | 10:54 |
| Richard_Cavell_ | jink, I upgraded from 16.04 to 17.10 and it borked my system. I'm trying to roll back. | 10:54 |
| jink | Right. | 10:54 |
| jink | That's a better question, since it explains what you want to do and why. Now we wait for the wizards to come in and answer that. :P | 10:55 |
| EriC^^ | Richard_Cavell_: backup your stuff and reinstall | 10:55 |
| jink | Richard_Cavell_: I did something similar, the other day, but my system is working fine. | 10:56 |
| Richard_Cavell_ | EriC^^, I do have a backup but I'd make additional backups before wiping the internal hard disk. That will take me ages. Are you sure that's the best way forward? | 10:56 |
| Richard_Cavell_ | (Other than smashing my computer with a hammer and buying a new one) | 10:56 |
| EriC^^ | Richard_Cavell_: do you have a separate /home partition? | 10:57 |
| Richard_Cavell_ | EriC^^, No | 10:57 |
| EriC^^ | Richard_Cavell_: maybe you could rename your home to /homebackup (that'd be instantaneous) and delete everything else, then let the installer use the partition as the rootfs without checking the format option | 10:58 |
| Ben64 | i don't think the installer lets you not format the root partition | 10:58 |
| EriC^^ | there's a box, i think it can be not checked, look into it and test in a vm quickly or something first | 10:58 |
| Richard_Cavell_ | EriC^^, Could you do that please? It's important enough to me. | 10:59 |

| raddy | Is it a critical package ? | 11:04 |
| TJ- | raddy: if you do the kernel upgrades won't be installed correctly | 11:04 |
| jink | raddy: Normally, when you remove something, apt will tell you everything else that will be removed as a result. | 11:04 |
| TJ- | raddy: that package is used to 'Depend:' on the latest linux-headers-$VERSION packages | 11:04 |
| raddy | But linux-headers-$version itself not required unless i am compiling a kernel module right ? | 11:05 |
| TJ- | raddy: correct; relied on by DKMS | 11:07 |
| raddy | Okk. :) | 11:07 |
| EriC^^ | Richard_Cavell_: it's installing rn, you should leave the format option unchecked, and it should give you this popup box https://imgur.com/a/rugGd once it's done installing i'll let you know if the files in /homebackup are still there | 11:07 |
| jair | nacc: are you around? | 11:09 |
| raddy | TJ- : Linux-headers depends on linux-headers-virtual and it depends on linux-virtual | 11:09 |
| raddy | TJ- : I am afraid i cannot remove linux-headers at all :( | 11:10 |
| cart_man | What file does one usually edit to insert System variables and exports? | 11:10 |

| sadtaco | I seem to be having trouble getting a headless ubuntu install to boot after changing the /etc/X11/xorg.conf. If I attach a monitor, I do see the purple of Ubuntu starting to come up, then black screen. And I can't ssh into it, it doesn't appear on my networks. | 11:13 |
| cart_man | What file does one usually edit to insert System variables and exports? | 11:15 |
| EriC^^ | cart_man: /etc/environment would do | 11:19 |
| Richard_Cavell_ | EriC^^, Are you still running that install? | 11:19 |
| EriC^^ | Richard_Cavell_: just finished actually, it's a success | 11:20 |
| Richard_Cavell_ | okay | 11:20 |
| Richard_Cavell_ | is /homebackup still intact? | 11:20 |
| EriC^^ | yeah | 11:20 |
| Richard_Cavell_ | and you can just rm /home; mv /homebackup /home ? | 11:20 |
| EriC^^ | well, move the files over without the hidden ones | 11:22 |
| Richard_Cavell_ | I want the hidden ones too | 11:22 |
| Lope | TJ-: I've also noticed the initrd for each one is different | 11:23 |
| EriC^^ | ok, move them all | 11:23 |
| raddy | Please help | 11:23 |
| Richard_Cavell_ | EriC^^, Alright, I'll do it. Pray for me. | 11:23 |
| raddy | I am getting unable to create '/usr/src/linux-headers-4.4.0-101-generic/include/config/tcp/cong/advanced.h.dpkg-new' | 11:23 |
| Lope | the encrypted grub install has a different initrd to the non-encrypted one. | 11:23 |
| EriC^^ | Richard_Cavell_: make sure the uid matches after moving as well | 11:23 |
| raddy | But disk is really not full | 11:23 |
| raddy | inode is %99 used | 11:23 |
| raidghost | when added intel_iommu=on in grub and activated iommu in bios. And still " No ACPI DMAR table found, IOMMU either disabled in BIOS or not supported by this hardware platform | 11:24 |
| raidghost | What todo then? | 11:24 |
| EriC^^ | raddy: look for dirs that have a high number of files | 11:24 |
| raddy | EriC^^ : Is linux-virtual an important package ? | 11:25 |
| EriC^^ | !info linux-virtual | 11:25 |

| brainwash | raidghost: which hardware platform is that? | 11:25 |
| EriC^^ | raddy: i dont have it | 11:26 |
| EriC^^ | raddy: i guess you do need it though | 11:26 |
| raidghost | brainwash: 64Bit | 11:26 |
| Lope | Oh cool. I put the encrypted ubuntu's /boot's initrd file file in /boot and now it booted the encrypted installation. | 11:27 |
| raddy | okkk | 11:27 |
| raidghost | brainwash: i might understand your question wrong. give a example if. | 11:28 |
| Lope | Lol but now the non-encrypted ubuntu install can't boot with the encrypted ubuntu install's initrd file. | 11:29 |
| raffy | hi | 11:34 |
| brainwash | raidghost: the exact device name, or the exact cpu model | 11:34 |
| raidghost | brainwash: model name : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700K CPU @ 4.20GHz | 11:35 |
| brainwash | raidghost: also, what is the setting name that you've changed in the bios? | 11:35 |
| raidghost | brainwash: VT-x | 11:36 |
| brainwash | raidghost: is there a vt-d setting also? | 11:37 |
| raidghost | brainwash: i have to check. and give you an answer | 11:38 |
| brainwash | raidghost: other than that, you have to make sure that your have the latest firmware for your system installed | 11:39 |
| TJ- | Lope: that is expected, initrd.img's are created specifically for and by the particualar install. They include config files and binaries required to start that specific install | 11:39 |
| raidghost | to make the system allow passthrough PCI ? | 11:40 |
| raidghost | brainwash: I might install the firmware for the tvtuner cards on the virthost then i guess | 11:40 |
| raidghost | and not installing it on the vm | 11:40 |

| Mithran | hai all | 11:51 |
| Mithran | i cannot access my windows share through ubuntu | 11:51 |
| Mithran | i checked the windows firewall and so on | 11:52 |
| DiecastMessiah | was the share newly setup mathran ? | 11:52 |
| Mithran | DiecastMessiah: no It was worked earlier, but befor a couple of days it all got messed up | 11:53 |
| Mithran | DiecastMessiah: when i type sudo restart smbd the result shows like this:- restart: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused | 11:54 |
| DiecastMessiah | k just wondering because i had problem with windows sharing.. it was all over a password... | 11:55 |
| DiecastMessiah | I not great with this stuff.. but there are times i have to reboot the windows machine and wait a long long time for windows to get it crap together so the share would work... | 11:56 |
| Mithran | DiecastMessiah: i can see the username, password, Domain form but when i fill it replays;;;; Unhandled error message: Failed to mount Windows share: No such file or directory | 11:57 |

| Lope | TJ-: Thanks. | 11:58 |
| Mithran | Can anybody help me to solve the problem | 11:58 |
| tokam | I got this error https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/fnjZSfhNDP/ | 11:59 |
| DiecastMessiah | i am sure someone here can help ya.. I cannot really.. newbie here.. but maybe just give a bit more info like what version of ubuntu | 11:59 |
| Lope | TJ-: I read online now that grub can decrypt an encrypted LVM volume, and you can keep /boot together with the installation. But the Ubuntu installer doesn't like when I try do that. | 11:59 |
| Lope | "You have selected the root file system to be stored on an encrypted partition. This feature requires a separate /boot partition on which the kernel and initrd can be stored" | 12:00 |
| TJ- | Lope: right; configuring it is complex (for an installer) and so it's not done because otherwise systems could be left in unrecoverable state if the user forgets their passphrase | 12:03 |
| Lope | TJ-: but that doesn't make a lot of sense | 12:03 |
| TJ- | Lope: at least with unencrypted /boot/ there's some control of the boot process available | 12:03 |
| Lope | If the user forgets their passphrase they're screwed either way. | 12:03 |
| tokam | Lope: are you talking to me? | 12:04 |
| Mithran | DiecastMessiah: am using ubuntu 16.04.3 | 12:04 |
| Lope | tokam: not that I'm aware of. | 12:04 |
| TJ- | Lope: they've got an option, from the initrd, to use an additional unlock method such as a key-file | 12:04 |
| Lope | TJ-: I see. | 12:04 |
| TJ- | Lope: whereas GRUB's LUKS support only deals with passphrases | 12:05 |
| RonWhoCares | How do I find out what package statvfs is part of? | 12:06 |
| Mithran | can i get a solution on Unhandled error message: Failed to mount Windows share: No such file or directory | 12:06 |
| Lope | TJ so if I want to keep /boot on the encrypted LVM partition how would I install it, since the ubuntu installer doesn't allow me to? debootstrap? | 12:07 |

| Mithran | JimBuntu: as it shows that some permission issues are with my OS | 12:14 |
| Lope | TJ-: I'm trying a different setup now. sda1 is grub for the encrypted LVM. The non encrypted LVM is going to have /boot as part of it's own directory structure. | 12:15 |
| JimBuntu | Mithran, I do not know, but I am thinking your 'nautilus -n' background process may need to be restarted. I have done this manually by killing the existing process and then running `nautilus -n &` on the command line. | 12:15 |

| Mithran | brainwash: Ok brother i will | 12:56 |
| Lope | BluesKaj: Grub is installed at /dev/sda1 (ext4). It cannot get any more obvious than that, and it doesn't find it. | 12:57 |

| auronandace | Lope: howis the non-encrypted grub meant to know the presence of grub on a different encrypted partition? | 13:00 |
| Lope | BluesKaj: I'm saying sda1 is an obvious place that os-prober should look, yet it doesn't find it there. | 13:01 |
| Lope | This is an EFI system BTW | 13:01 |
| Lope | auronandace: because the encrypted grub is at /dev/sda1 | 13:01 |
| Lope | I mean the encrypted ubuntu's grub is at sda1 | 13:01 |
| auronandace | Lope: the partition is encrypted | 13:01 |
| auronandace | Lope: it could be absolutely anything to the outside grub | 13:02 |
| Lope | sda1 is a 1GB ext4 partition that only contains grub for the encrypted ubuntu LVM volume | 13:02 |
| Lope | I have also tested first mounting the encrypted ubuntu install before installing the unencrypted ubuntu. It didn't find it in that scenario either. | 13:03 |
| Lope | But that was when they were both sharing sda1 for grub | 13:03 |
| Lope | Anyway, right now I have 2 grubs. One on the unencrypted grub's volume. And one at sda1 | 13:04 |

| Ool | Lope: never find a good reason to do this | 13:09 |
| TJ- | Lope: as I said earlier - if you want GRUB to add entries for the encrypted install from the unencrypted install, add scripts into os-prober that 'know' how to unlock crypt-ed devices so os-prober can probe them. The current default os-prober should find the unencrypted installs from the encrypted one, but if it doesn't you need to 'teach' os-prober to mount LVs | 13:09 |
| Lope | thanks TJ- I saw you mentioning unlocking the encrypted LV but didn't notice you were talking about doing it for os-prober | 13:11 |
| Mithran | i didnt get a solution yet | 13:11 |
| Lope | I'll try figure out how to get os-prober to recognize the unencrypted installation, (seems easier) | 13:12 |
| Lope | `man os-prober` didn't produce a manpage. | 13:12 |
| Lope | BTW | 13:12 |
| TJ- | Lope: most of os-prober is shell scripts, see where they are so you can learn how they work with "dpkg -L os-prober" | 13:12 |
| Industrial | Hi | 13:14 |
| Industrial | Can I configure apt to use cURL or wget? | 13:14 |
| Industrial | Apt uses its own proxy configuration. I want to use HTTP_PROXY. curl uses that one just fine | 13:14 |
| Industrial | so I want apt to use curl for downloading, if possible | 13:14 |
| TJ- | Lope: this'll show what file types are, you'll see it's mostly shell: "file $(dpkg -L os-prober)" | 13:14 |
| Industrial | so I can just turn HTTP_PROXY on or off and not have to configure /etc/apt/apt.conf just for switching proxy on/off every time | 13:15 |

| Industrial | patoo_001: because of what I said above, proxy config | 13:15 |
| TJ- | Industrial: you can configure APT to use a proxy | 13:16 |
| Industrial | patoo_001: I dont want to have to edit a config file to tiurn on/off a proxy setting for 20 different apps every time I want to turn on/off my proxy | 13:16 |
| Industrial | I want APT to use HTTP_PROXY like ALLLL other apps | 13:16 |
| Industrial | like git, svn, curl, wget, vim, aria2c, etc | 13:16 |
| patoo_001 | torify apt then. | 13:16 |
| === solsTiCe is now known as solsTiCe_ | ||

| Lope | TJ-: I'll remove grub from the unencrypted distro. Then in the encrypted distro I'll add the unencrypted distro to /etc/grub.d/40_custom hopefully in a way that I don't have to keep track of the kernel version of the unencrypted distro. | 13:21 |
| Industrial | I need to pay for ubuntu support ... | 13:24 |
| Industrial | There is no git repo for apt? | 13:24 |

| Industrial | JimBuntu: I can't create a ticket. I need to create an account first. I can't create an account. I can only log in. | 13:30 |
| JimBuntu | Industrial, I was able to create a new account quite easily since you posted that message | 13:33 |
| Industrial | Me too, apparently it was in the self center behind the link in the sentence "If you are not a Debian Developer, you can register a guest account using our self-service interface." | 13:34 |
| Industrial | So, I am now logge din an viewing that repo. I'm taking a pretty long time finding the "new ticket" button | 13:34 |
| Industrial | I already found the new project and new snippet button! | 13:34 |
| JimBuntu | Industrial, cool. Now you should be able to form, make a new (fature?) branch, add your improvements and do a pull request | 13:35 |
| Industrial | Nah, because I'm not a C developer | 13:35 |

| Industrial | can't i | 13:35 |
| cart_man | I have some code in my RC.local file that seems to not fire at all. the line that does not fire specifically would be " /etc/init.d/mysql restart " but it seems to fail and does not continue executing commands after it | 13:35 |
| JimBuntu | You should be able to | 13:35 |
| JimBuntu | cart_man, Do you have any details about the failure, such as logged info? | 13:36 |
| Industrial | (I'm waiting for the first comment saying "no wont implement" or "lowest priority ever see you in 10 years") | 13:36 |
| cart_man | No idea... i literally only knows that it does not launch it and crashes the rc.local for the rest of the execution | 13:36 |
| Lope | TJ-: I managed to get the Ubuntu installer to detect the unencrypted partition while I reinstalled the ubuntu on the encrypted partition. All I did was changed the volume from "do not use" to "ext4" without ticking format or mount etc. Then I got a warning saying that the installer would not do anything with the partition that I've marked as ext4. I pressed continue and whala. There was some error during booting this option about not finding | 13:36 |
| Lope | hd (0,0) But it works. | 13:36 |
| JimBuntu | Industrial, could happen, though I doubt it will if it's a worthy request... it's not like you are asking for colorization | 13:37 |
| TJ- | Industrial: it turns out you're doing it wrong; apt does read the HTTP_PROXY settings | 13:37 |
| JimBuntu | Industrial, it may turn out that it isn't an APT issue though, but they will be able to point in the right direction | 13:37 |
| Lope | Now I've removed grub* from the unencrypted volume's distro. | 13:38 |
| TJ- | Industrial: you are probably forgetting you need to set HTTP_PROXY /for root user/ since apt runs via sudo usually | 13:38 |
| Industrial | The problem is this | 13:38 |
| * JimBuntu has been jinxed by TJ | 13:38 | |
| Industrial | I am setting and unsetting the proxy 10 times a day | 13:38 |
| Industrial | Why cant I just set an env var and be sure programs use it? | 13:39 |
| Industrial | (I understand what you just typed, and will look for a solution) | 13:39 |
| Lope | TJ-: now the real test will be running update-grub in the encrypted distro. | 13:39 |
| TJ- | Industrial: apparently, looking at the source-code, it uses curl under the hood for http/https, and therefore as long as curl finds the expected *PROXY settings in it's environment it'll use it | 13:40 |
| Lope | TJ-: I ran update-grub. and it found the other install again :) | 13:40 |
| Lope | Such a "stupid simple" solution. | 13:40 |
| sere | anyone know of an app i believe i saw in the repos that would allow one go watch/mount live .torrernts | 13:40 |
| TJ- | Industrial: it's usually set via /etc/profile but again, you'll have to edit that. So you're better off doing something like "sudo HTTP_PROXY="" apt ..." or "sudo apt -o Acquire::http:Proxy=http://xyz ... " | 13:42 |
| Industrial | okay | 13:42 |
| Industrial | thanks :) | 13:42 |
| TJ- | Lope: I thought it should, os-prober is pretty comprehensive as long as the devices are available | 13:42 |
| Lope | TJ-: well the device (volume) was "available" but the only thing I didn't do is tell the installer that the volume was ext4 | 13:43 |
| Mithran | how can i fix "update-rc.d: error: samba Default-Start contains no runlevels, aborting." | 13:43 |
| Lope | Interesting. Because it was by default set to "do not use" which is not a bad thing. That way you don't get every single distro appearing in your grub. | 13:43 |
| Lope | (only the ones you want) | 13:44 |

| teamcoltra | Hey Ubuntu people: I have run dpkg --list | grep linux-image and all I get is "ii linux-image-4.13.0-32-generic 4.13.0-32.35~16.04.1 amd64 Linux kernel image for version 4.13.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP" | 17:45 |
| teamcoltra | However when I run root@files:~# uname -sr I get "Linux 2.6.32-042stab127.2" | 17:46 |
| teamcoltra | I have rebooted since installing the kernel and I don't see anywhere the 2.6.32 kernel is installed. This is on a VM | 17:46 |
| OerHeks | teamcoltra, openVZ??? | 17:48 |
| ducasse | teamcoltra: is this a vps? which hypervisor? | 17:49 |
| OerHeks | that uses a heavily tweaked 2.6 indeed | 17:49 |
| teamcoltra | OerHeks the kernel looks like OpenVZ but it's KVM | 17:49 |
| OerHeks | openvz container on kvm, that can well be the situation | 17:49 |
| teamcoltra | :P That is super dumb if it is... though would make sense why I'm having such a hard time updating the kernel | 17:50 |
| OerHeks | well, it is cheap, fast, but upgrading the kernel is not possible indeed | 17:51 |
| OerHeks | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenVZ#A10.04_LTS_.28Lucid.29 | 17:54 |
| nacc | fx250: sorry, was afk | 17:55 |
| nacc | freecoder: did you get an answer to your question? | 17:55 |
| nacc | Xano: why do you need 3.5? | 17:55 |
| samForever | it failed for no reason | 18:00 |
| samForever | Anyone want to give me a brief explination of BIOS-mode versus UEFI mode> | 18:01 |
| samForever | ? | 18:01 |
| freecoder | nacc: no | 18:01 |
| OerHeks | !uefi | 18:01 |
| ubottu | UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 18:01 |
| nacc | freecoder: a) why are you rebuilding mesa? | 18:01 |
| OerHeks | uefi wants signed drivers, the old bios eats anything | 18:02 |
| samForever | ok so UEFI is a way to save money by instsalling the "bios" on the harddrive rather than on the motherboard? | 18:02 |
| freecoder | nacc: want to contribute to mesa, so trying out the build process | 18:02 |
| freecoder | need to test a patch | 18:02 |
| akik | samForever: no the bios scheme also used the harddrive | 18:02 |
| OerHeks | samForever, no, uefi stores data on a small partition | 18:03 |
| nacc | freecoder: you want to contribute to mesa on 17.10? | 18:03 |
| nacc | freecoder: that goes eol in a few months anyways | 18:03 |
| samForever | akik: What I mean is that if I were to remove the harddrive I wouldn't be able to boot because the bios information is stored on the harddrive | 18:03 |
| akik | samForever: i don't follow you | 18:04 |
| akik | samForever: you remove the hdd, of course you can't boot | 18:04 |
| samForever | akik: Let me try to clarify. I used to have an old dell computer. With that computer I could boot off a flash drive when no harddrives were connected to the motherboard. If I have a computer that has UEFI then if I disconnect the harddrive I will not be able to boot off a flash drive because the bios information is stored on the HD. Am I correct in assuming that? | 18:06 |
| nacc | freecoder: after enabling the source repos, did you run `sudo apt-get update` ? | 18:07 |
| OerHeks | you can boot from a flashdrive, in uefi mode. | 18:07 |
| freecoder | nacc: yes | 18:07 |
| nacc | freecoder: ok, let me try and reproduce it | 18:07 |
| ducasse | samForever: no, there can be a bootloader on the flash drive | 18:07 |
| Tecan | it would be neat if caja or nautilus or any gui file manager that would just use the cp command instead of calculating the size etc... | 18:07 |
| nacc | Tecan: sorry? | 18:07 |
| Tecan | for copying folders | 18:08 |
| nacc | Tecan: are you making a feature request? | 18:08 |
| nacc | Tecan: the right place to do that is with the upstream projects | 18:08 |
| nacc | Tecan: or you can file a bug in ubuntu, i guess, but it's unlikely to diverge, and if you look at how the code is actually written, you might realize why what you are asking for doesn't make sesne | 18:09 |
| samForever | ok then UEFI is simply the translator between user input and the operating system and this "translator" is installed on the machine's harddrive? | 18:09 |
| Tecan | i might make a script for it | 18:09 |
| nacc | Tecan: why does this matter? are you seeing some sort of slow down in the size calculation? | 18:10 |
| freecoder | nacc: not mesa on 17.10 per se, the upstream mesa project | 18:10 |
| nacc | freecoder: right, then you don't wnat to do what you're doing :) | 18:10 |
| ducasse | samForever: uefi still exists in firmware, just like the old bios did | 18:10 |
| nacc | freecoder: as you are getting the libraries required to build mesa on 17.10 only | 18:10 |
| nacc | freecoder: and the mesa package in ubuntu, not upstream mesa | 18:11 |
| Tecan | when copying 40 gb from a drive with alot of files no one wants to wait to calculate all the file sizes | 18:11 |
| ducasse | samForever: what is on the hard drive is just the bootloader | 18:11 |
| Tecan | its a bottleneck | 18:11 |
| nacc | Tecan: who copies 40GB of file with a GUI? :) | 18:11 |
| freecoder | nacc: hmm. because even the mesa docs seem to be pointing to this - https://www.mesa3d.org/install.html | 18:11 |
| Tecan | its handy | 18:11 |
| nacc | freecoder: oh i see, this is just to get the typical deps installed | 18:12 |
| nacc | freecoder: one sec, still spinning up a 17.10 instance | 18:12 |
| Tecan | also some drives sound like they are being overworked when calculating that | 18:12 |
| Tecan | crunch crunch crunch | 18:12 |
| nacc | Tecan: again, probably a feature request for upstream | 18:13 |
| nacc | Tecan: but honestly, seems unlikely to be prioritized | 18:13 |
| OerHeks | samForever, 'translator'?? no, uefi just protects the OS, by 'secure boot', it does nothing on user basis | 18:13 |
| OerHeks | it i just the next-gen bios | 18:13 |
| OerHeks | c/i/is | 18:14 |
| zergut | hello, how to find some text strings in file on remote server via ssh? | 18:14 |
| nacc | freecoder: worked fine here | 18:14 |
| nacc | zergut: grep ? | 18:14 |
| freecoder | hmm. weird. let me paste my /etc/apt/sources/list somewhere | 18:14 |
| nacc | freecoder: sure | 18:14 |
| zergut | nacc: so i just type grep and text i need, right? | 18:14 |
| nacc | zergut: `man grep`, but you would do `grep <pattern> <paths to search>`, use -R if you want it to recursively search directories | 18:15 |
| freecoder | nacc: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/MJC58m98rz/ | 18:15 |
| nacc | freecoder: it's a bit odd to use the archive for binaries, but a mirror for sources (they can get out of sync) | 18:16 |
| nacc | freecoder: but it should be fine | 18:16 |
| nacc | freecoder: can you pastebin the exact command and message? | 18:16 |
| zergut | nacc: im in exact directory, is that mean i dont need to point the path and what does mean recursiv directory search? | 18:16 |
| nacc | zergut: you always have to tell grep what to search | 18:16 |
| nacc | zergut: recursive means it will search the passed path and all sub-paths | 18:17 |
| zergut | and what if it's phrase? | 18:17 |
| zergut | i need to "it" right? | 18:17 |
| freecoder | nacc: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/KbNTj4zD4f/ | 18:18 |

| OerHeks | i think you want | 18:23 |
| OerHeks | !info mesa-common-dev | 18:23 |
| ubottu | mesa-common-dev (source: mesa): Developer documentation for Mesa. In component main, is optional. Version 17.2.8-0ubuntu0~17.10.1 (artful), package size 506 kB, installed size 3512 kB | 18:23 |
| freecoder | OerHeks: i already have those packages installed. i want to install build dependencies for mesa | 18:24 |
| freecoder | OerHeks: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/M3hZV84pyg/ | 18:24 |
| freecoder | nacc: any thoughts? | 18:25 |
| OerHeks | maybe you are missing mesa-utils | 18:26 |
| OerHeks | what guide do you follow? | 18:27 |
| freecoder | OerHeks: i want to build upstream mesa from sources to test a patch. for this i need to install dependencies. https://www.mesa3d.org/install.html says running "sudo apt-get build-dep mesa" should install necessary dependencies | 18:28 |
| freecoder | OerHeks: but i am getting the following error - https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/KbNTj4zD4f/ | 18:29 |
| ioria | freecoder, mesa is 'source' i think; apt-get source mesa | 18:31 |
| OerHeks | wht do you mean with 'upstream mesa'.. a newer mesa? | 18:31 |
| ioria | freecoder, not a binary package | 18:32 |
| ioria | !info mesa | 18:32 |
| ubottu | Package mesa does not exist in artful | 18:32 |
| ioria | freecoder, so you get 'E: Unable to find a source package for mesa' | 18:33 |
| freecoder | ioria: that is what i figure | 18:33 |
| freecoder | ioria: but even using alternate name for eg libegl1-mesa does not work | 18:34 |
| frankcab | Continued problem I mentioned the other day, but there's new info. HP Pavilion g6 2 years old. Ubuntu 16.04 from USB stick - speakers work. When 16.04 installed on the HD, speakers don't work, but headphone works. Here's the new info. If I right click above the speaker icon, in just the right spot, the speakers start working until I move the pointer from that spot or release the right click. | 18:34 |
| freecoder | OerHeks: by upstream i meant the main project, not the 17.10 specific package | 18:36 |
| OerHeks | if i read it right @ point 5, you need libgl1-mesa-dev and libosmesa6-dev is what you need, beside build-essentials | 18:38 |
| frankcab | why would right clicking on a certain spot make the speakers work? | 18:38 |
| OerHeks | mesa3d is just a 3d library, not mesa utils dev | 18:40 |
| lotuspsychje | frankcab: provide us more details please? ubuntu version, what kind of sound? | 18:41 |
| OerHeks | maybe this old page gies a clue what you need.. https://nextdime.wordpress.com/2014/06/29/setting-up-an-opengl-mesa-development-environment-ubuntu-14-04/ | 18:42 |
| frankcab | Ubuntu 16.04. When you say what kind of sound, do you mean the sound card on the laptop? | 18:44 |
| lotuspsychje | frankcab: i mean what happens exactly when you say, make the speakers work? you hear a sound? or does clicking mouse make the speakers work from then? | 18:45 |
| frankcab | However, I had the same problem with 15.04 and 17.10. With 17.10 the laptop keyboard and usb mouse also didn't work. | 18:45 |
| frankcab | I hear whatever is playing - youtube video in firefox or local video file playing | 18:46 |
| frankcab | Clicking in one specific spot, right click, makes the speakers work until I move the pointer from that spot or release the right click | 18:46 |
| lotuspsychje | frankcab: that sounds like a very weird issue | 18:47 |
| lotuspsychje | !sound | frankcab try these steps first? | 18:48 |
| ubottu | frankcab try these steps first?: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 18:48 |
| frankcab | the volume bar is replaced with an identical volume bar, new one pops up, and the sound bar goes down to half - and I hear the sound from whatever is playing. If I release the right click - back to silence and sound bar window replaced with original with sound bar all the way to max | 18:48 |
| frankcab | I have done all that lotus, multiple times | 18:48 |
| lotuspsychje | frankcab: you didnt play with like hotkeys on your mouse or so? | 18:49 |
| frankcab | no | 18:49 |
| lotuspsychje | frankcab: like your mouse mute/unmute with left/right mouse button? | 18:49 |
| frankcab | this happens whether I use the trackpad or USB mouse, with or without USB mouse plugged in (the dongle plugged in) | 18:49 |
| === Nicmavr is now known as Guest32855 | ||
| frankcab | No, it does not mute or unmute. It shows as unmuted when the sound isn't heard. It doesn't show anything different when I click right mouse in that spot, other than a new volume meter window appearing and showing half volume. | 18:50 |
| lotuspsychje | frankcab: perhaps try a tail -f /var/log/syslog and check if you can trace usefull errors? | 18:50 |
| frankcab | Ok, what would I look for in that output? | 18:52 |
| lotuspsychje | frankcab: try those mouseclicks/sound problem and check if new lines come? | 18:52 |
| lotuspsychje | frankcab: feel free to share in a hastebin.com | 18:53 |
| frankcab | https://hastebin.com/awipuheral.pas | 18:54 |
| lotuspsychje | frankcab: doesnt look usefull for the sound issue | 18:56 |
| frankcab | other thing is when the sound starts, the wireless network icon shows a bump up in reception - fills to the top | 18:57 |
| lotuspsychje | frankcab: you got a headset? | 18:57 |
| frankcab | yes | 18:58 |
| frankcab | sound works with the headset plugged in | 18:58 |
| lotuspsychje | frankcab: check this, might be usefull: http://blog.ronaldmccollam.com/2016/05/how-to-fix-usb-audio-device-that.html | 18:58 |
| frankcab | no, that's not the issue | 18:59 |
| frankcab | This happens when nothing is plugged into USB, and the headset is not USB | 19:00 |
| frankcab | the headset plugs to the audio in/out port | 19:00 |
| lotuspsychje | ah | 19:00 |
| === handlebar- is now known as handlebar | ||
| lotuspsychje | frankcab: cant find any decent bugs related on it | 19:02 |
| lotuspsychje | frankcab: perhaps consider creating a new bug? | 19:02 |
| frankcab | what do you mean creating a new bug? You mean a bug report? | 19:03 |
| lotuspsychje | frankcab: have you tested this in a liveusb session? | 19:03 |
| lotuspsychje | !bug | frankcab yes | 19:03 |
| ubottu | frankcab yes: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please report it using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. | 19:03 |
| frankcab | I don't know what a liveusb session is | 19:03 |
| lotuspsychje | frankcab: when plugin an ubuntu usb, you can choose to install or try(live) | 19:04 |
| frankcab | yes | 19:04 |
| frankcab | when I "try" from the 16.04 USB, the speakers work | 19:04 |
| frankcab | the problem only occurs from the install onto the HD | 19:04 |
| lotuspsychje | frankcab: ok, how about from another user? | 19:05 |
| hggdh | leftyfb: yes, the debian rmadison can also look at Ubuntu packages -- see https://manpages.debian.org/stretch/devscripts/rmadison.1.en.html | 19:05 |
| frankcab | it was the same with 15.04, but with 17.10 the speakers didn't work from USB, then the speakers, keyboard and USB mouse didn't work from install on HD | 19:05 |
| frankcab | Yes, it is the same no matter the user. I have installed, wiped the drive, installed many times | 19:05 |
| lotuspsychje | frankcab: you could add this tests to your new bug | 19:06 |
| frankcab | ok | 19:07 |
| lotuspsychje | frankcab: have you installed external ppa's to your system of any kind? | 19:09 |
| frankcab | I don't think so. I don't know what a PPA is. | 19:10 |
| lotuspsychje | frankcab: meaning like, 3rd party software from anywhere? | 19:10 |
| frankcab | no | 19:12 |
| lotuspsychje | frankcab: im just thinking along what could have scrambled your sound, if it works live? | 19:12 |
| frankcab | I am only using this machine temp - so far only run firefox and read PDFs with whatever was on there from install of Ubuntu | 19:12 |
| lotuspsychje | kk mate | 19:13 |
| lotuspsychje | frankcab: try the bug report ok | 19:13 |
| frankcab | it isn't scrambled. This happens with every new install. I wipe the drive, reformat, install. Same problem. | 19:13 |
| lotuspsychje | frankcab: yeah well ok, the install does something that needs deeper investigation | 19:14 |
| lotuspsychje | frankcab: your system up to date also? | 19:14 |
| lotuspsychje | frankcab: lsb_release -a to check | 19:15 |
| frankcab | Yes, I installed all updates | 19:16 |
| frankcab | it says "No LSB modules are available" | 19:16 |
| lotuspsychje | frankcab: did you type correctly: lsb_release -a | 19:17 |
| frankcab | yes | 19:17 |

| Xano | nacc, Because some software requires it | 19:27 |
| Xano | (the 2-hour old Python 3.5 question) | 19:27 |
| nacc | Xano: some third party python stuff (not ubuntu packaged) | 19:27 |
| frankcab | other timezones? | 19:27 |
| Xano | nacc, Ah, that's what you meant. Yes, third-party software. I am not planning on replacing system Python :) I merely wish to install additional interpreters I can use when needed. | 19:28 |
| Xano | I guess what I am asking concretely is if it's relatively safe to get the Python 3.5 packages from 17.04's sources, for instance. | 19:29 |
| frankcab | what do you mean other timezones can help solve issues? | 19:30 |
| lotuspsychje | frankcab: i mean this channel #ubuntu has volunteers from all around the world, so other times give other users to help you | 19:30 |
| Xano | I even have another project which requires 2.7. We're in the process of containerizing everything but until then I'd like these additional Python versions on my host. | 19:31 |
| lotuspsychje | frankcab: new ideas to help you | 19:31 |
| frankcab | I see | 19:31 |
| Mathisen | Xano, dont mix repos but you can get it and compile and install yourself | 19:31 |
| lotuspsychje | frankcab: this is why we reccomend, to ask again (once in a while) | 19:31 |
| frankcab | Like Mr. Rogers: I'll be back, when the day is new, and I'll have new ideas for you... | 19:31 |
| nacc | Xano: no it is not | 19:32 |
| nacc | Xano: as those will replace your system python | 19:32 |
| nacc | Xano: or try | 19:32 |
| nacc | Xano: it's super easy to spin up an older host | 19:32 |
| lotuspsychje | frankcab: good luck with the bug report | 19:33 |
| frankcab | ok | 19:33 |

| eblume | Hi. I'm trying to simply add some additional workspaces to my desktop layout, but I can't figure out the UI for it. I have my laptop monitor and a second external monitor plugged in via HDMI. The laptop monitor has two work spaces (oriented vertically) - I can't seem to add a horizontal row and the controls for it are finicky. The external monitor seems to have NO workspace support, as I can't find out any way to add workspaces to it | 19:36 |
| eblume | Does anyone have a suggestion for how to add workspaces given the above? | 19:36 |
| eblume | Perhaps there's a configuration tool not included in 17.10 by default? | 19:37 |
| mead | hum, I've installed it twice now, xbuntu freezes upon first boot | 19:42 |
| nacc | mead: what version of ubuntu? | 19:42 |
| mead | 16.04 something it is a LTS | 19:43 |
| nacc | mead: ok, it installed ok? no errors, etc | 19:44 |
| mead | yeah | 19:44 |
| lordcirth_work | Boot without "quiet splash" to get more info, maybe? | 19:44 |
| nacc | mead: define 'freezes' and 'upon first boot'? Does it not load a kernel? Does it get to the login screen? | 19:44 |
| nacc | mead: lordcirth_work's suggestion is good too, that will emit messages to the screen that are otherwise hidden by the splash | 19:45 |
| mead | screen has blinky curse in upper left hand corner, numberlock on keyboard doesn't turn off/on on keyboard... I call that frozen | 19:45 |
| nacc | mead: that's crashed | 19:45 |
| nacc | probably | 19:45 |
| lordcirth_work | mead, do you get a grub menu first? | 19:46 |

| mead | what do I need to do to discover where it is crashing/freezing? | 19:51 |
| nacc | Verge: pastebin the exact command and message | 19:51 |
| lordcirth_work | mead, edit the normal boot entry, find the kernel line, and remove 'quiet splash vt_handoff' from it, then boot | 19:51 |
| mead | lordcirth_work: can I just comment it out? what character would I use if I can? | 19:52 |
| lordcirth_work | mead, it's only temporary for this boot, it's just in RAM. So just backspace | 19:53 |

| Verge | aha | 19:56 |
| Verge | I figured it out that Ubuntu has the lib named as libmusicbrainz5cc | 19:57 |
| Verge | So -lmusicbrainz5cc | 19:57 |
| mead | ok, the last line before it stops responding is "acpi: pci interupt link [lub0] enabled at irq 23" | 19:57 |
| Verge | nice | 19:57 |
| lordcirth_work | mead, ok, try rebooting, removing those bits again, and adding: acpi=off | 19:58 |
| mead | lordcirth_work: where do I place it? | 20:03 |
| lordcirth_work | mead, just anywhere, the end will do | 20:04 |

| Doow | I'm trying to install 64bit ubuntu on a Acer One 10, it's a budget machine with 32 bit EFI. I've googled a bit and found a 32 bit EFI image that I'm trying to use (and have gotten to load). The next problem is actually loading the kernel of the installer, which file is that? I can't find any vmlinuz, but maybe that's old :) | 20:18 |
| Doow | I found a isolinux/isolinux.bin, is that the one? I didn't get it to load due to "invalid magic number". | 20:19 |
| lordcirth_work | Doow, isolinux is the bootloader | 20:21 |
| Doow | ah | 20:22 |
| plujon | One of my computers running lubuntu just froze. The display was stuck. The keyboard lights did not work. Ping from another machine failed. Then, after a few minutes, it inexplicable rebooted. How can I debug this? | 20:22 |
| plujon | 20:22 | |
| lordcirth_work | plujon, you could edit /etc/journald.conf to include "Storage=persistent" so that logs will be written to disk in future | 20:24 |
| lordcirth_work | You may also want to run memtestx86 | 20:24 |
| lordcirth_work | Or any other good hardware tester | 20:24 |
| plujon | lordcirth_work: Thanks; I'll do that. /etc/journald.conf does not currently exist; I guess I should create it? | 20:24 |
| Doow | I'm still trying to wrap my head around all the steps and parts of what goes on when booting to linux. Is it isolinux I should try to load from grub from my "custom" grub EFI file? | 20:24 |
| ioria | Doow, https://gist.github.com/franga2000/2154d09f864894b8fe84 | 20:25 |
| lordcirth_work | plujon, I suppose so | 20:25 |
| plujon | lordcirth_work: It's /etc/systemd/journald.conf | 20:26 |
| lordcirth_work | Oh, the guide I found must have been old. That makes sense | 20:27 |
| plujon | Also, "peristent" seems pretty similar to "auto" accordign to man journald.conf | 20:27 |
| Doow | ioria: thanks! | 20:27 |
| ioria | Doow, good luck, but if you ask me let it go | 20:27 |
| plujon | Oh, I see /var/log/journal instead of /run/log/journal | 20:28 |
| plujon | I would think kern.log would show important stuff. Hmm. | 20:30 |
| plujon | Well, thanks. I'll switch back to the problematic machine now and see what happens. | 20:32 |

| ubottu | Johnson1977: If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing | 20:57 |
| Johnson1977 | the wifi is the default 192.168.0.1 | 20:57 |
| Mathisen | jordanl, you can turn off secure boot | 20:57 |
| Mathisen | jordanl, some bios have defaut secure boot keys that can be loaded. so you may have that kind of option also | 20:58 |
| jordanl | is secureboot only valuable for windows operating systems? | 20:58 |
| mutante | jordanl:yes and no. it's available for Linux but Microsoft doesn't sign anything, so it's eh, something like this long story | 21:00 |
| mutante | "Using a signed boot loader means using a boot loader signed with Microsoft's key. There are two known signed boot loaders PreLoader and shim, their purpose is to chainload other EFI binaries (usually boot loaders). Since Microsoft would never sign a boot loader that automatically launches any unsigned binary, PreLoader and shim use a whitelist called Machine Owner Key list. " | 21:00 |
| Mathisen | no, you can use secureboot with linux also, the bootloader need to be signed, and not all dists have that | 21:00 |
| lordcirth_work | Jordan_U, secureboot is in theory valuable for any threat model where the enemy can change your bootloader but not your hardware. | 21:00 |
| lordcirth_work | So mostly rootkits | 21:00 |

| AmericanBlend | Richard_Cavell, at one point you should upgrade to 18.04 when suport to 16.04 ends | 21:23 |

| nacc | Richard_Cavell: from what? | 21:26 |
| nacc | it seems more likely to be due to using a mac :) | 21:27 |
| Richard_Cavell | nacc, I went from 16.04 to 17.10. And yes, the fact that I'm using a Mac causes problems. | 21:27 |

But when selecting "Install Ubuntu" in the menu I get "error: file '/casper/vmlinuz.efi' not found. I'm guessing I need to mount the iso somehow before I load grub.cfg. how do I do that? all examples I find seem to assume that the iso is in a file in the filesystem rather than written directly as the | 21:35 |
| Doow | filesystem in a partition. | 21:35 |
| AmericanBlend | Richard_Cavell, yeah, weird stuff can happen like this, but, hte general rule is lts editions are polished and meant for long term, stable use rather than experimentring | 21:35 |
| Doow | I checked iso and the file does exist in that path | 21:35 |
| AmericanBlend | i use 16.04 with is an lts and i'm not planning on upgrading. but, eventually the system will run out of support and if is still will have this machine i'll have to upgrade it to 18.04 | 21:35 |

| EriC^^ | are you using uefi? | 21:36 |
| EriC^^ | nevermind | 21:36 |
| EriC^^ | Doow: just make a fat32 partition, copy the files there, replace the 32bit efi and try booting the usb | 21:37 |

| linuxr_ | Hi all. I'm running ubuntu 16.04 and when executing "dist-upgrade", I get this error: dpkg: error processing package linux-image-extra-4.4.0-101-generic (--configure): | 22:29 |
| linuxr_ | package linux-image-extra-4.4.0-101-generic is not ready for configuration | 22:29 |
| linuxr_ | Now I'm worried that my system might not boot anymore...what can I do? | 22:29 |
| flashmozzg | looks like Toolchain test PPA is not going to update any time soon (or ever) | 22:30 |
| nacc | linuxr_: well, first of all, that kernel is ... old? you should be at 4.4.0-116 by now | 22:30 |
| dixsonhoepp | there is a program to limit the broadband in my WiFi network to other computers | 22:31 |
| flashmozzg | And if I add ppa:jonathonf/gcc-7.3 and try to update gcc-7 it says that no updates are available (I did apt-get update) | 22:31 |
| linuxr_ | nacc...currently running is: 4.4.0-112-generic | 22:31 |
| linuxr_ | I have no idea what this error is and how to get rid of it :( | 22:32 |
| OerHeks | update should give https://launchpad.net/~jonathonf/+archive/ubuntu/gcc-7.3?field.series_filter=trusty | 22:32 |
| OerHeks | or dist-upgrade .. | 22:33 |
| OerHeks | you would have seen held-back packages | 22:33 |
| nacc | OerHeks: linuxr_: afaict, source only uploads, not built uccessfully? | 22:35 |
| nacc | for xenial, at least | 22:36 |
| nacc | linuxr_: you can remove that package, then, probably | 22:37 |
| linuxr_ | nacc, I purged the problematic (old) package, now no error appears | 22:37 |
| linuxr_ | I still see stuff from that package hanging around, though | 22:37 |
| nacc | linuxr_: from that package or related packages? | 22:37 |
| vlt | dixsonhoepp: What is its name? | 22:38 |
| linuxr_ | nacc, I purged "linux-image-extra-4.4.0-101-generic", and in /boot I still have "initrd.img-4.4.0-101-generic" | 22:38 |

| gvvg__ | there is already a very long process running on the console - is there anyway to attach to it or it is too late | 22:50 |

| flashmozzg | nacc: I need 7.3, because it fixed a critical bug for me. | 22:59 |

| V7 | Hey all | 23:00 |
| gvvg__ | ioc_: so I would tail /proc/<pid>/fd/1 ? to see what is happening on the console? standard output? | 23:01 |
| nacc | flashmozzg: there's only one successful build in that ppa for trusty | 23:01 |
| nacc | flashmozzg: i don't believe you :) | 23:01 |
| V7 | What's ubuntu's offtop channel ? | 23:02 |
| OerHeks | build it yourself perhaps? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-7/7.3.0-1ubuntu1 | 23:02 |
| nacc | V7: #ubuntu-offtopic | 23:02 |
| V7 | Thank you | 23:02 |
| nacc | flashmozzg: oh you mean you are already using a PPA for gcc-7 and need a newer version? | 23:02 |
| nacc | flashmozzg: given that *neither* is supported here ... you're on your own | 23:02 |
| ioc_ | gvvg__, unfortunately it won't necessarily capture all output, but it's worth a try | 23:02 |
| OerHeks | you might need HWE for that tooo, dunno | 23:02 |
| kenrin | flashmozzg: You did see the failed to build messages on that PPA right ? | 23:03 |
| gvvg__ | didn't work :( oh well thanks | 23:03 |
| nacc | kenrin: i mentioned that earlier as well :) | 23:03 |
| Jordan_U | ioc_: What is your end goal? | 23:03 |
| kenrin | ah ok | 23:03 |
| kenrin | I'm not paying much attention | 23:03 |
| nacc | kenrin: me neither, tbh :) | 23:03 |
| flashmozzg | nacc: Yeah, just saw that there wer no successful builds for Xenial in that ppa. Gonna ping/bug the maintainer. | 23:04 |
| flashmozzg | Anyway, is there a chance/way to bring gcc-7.3 to official ubuntu test PPA? | 23:04 |
| kenrin | For now you could grab the debian package and install it flash | 23:05 |
| nacc | flashmozzg: you should ask the ppa owner | 23:05 |
| Jordan_U | flashmozzg: Which bug is affecting you specifically? | 23:05 |
| flashmozzg | it looks like it's been updated to gcc-7.2 rather quickly (in 2-3 weeks), but I see no changes towards 7.3 | 23:05 |
| OerHeks | bionic will | 23:06 |
| nacc | OerHeks: bionic already is :) | 23:06 |
| nacc | flashmozzg: to be clear, that ppa is not a real way to get newer toolchains on your system | 23:07 |
| nacc | flashmozzg: i doubt doko will give you any support, but you coudl try | 23:07 |
| nacc | flashmozzg: it's for ubuntu toolchain testing | 23:07 |
| OerHeks | kinky advise, to switch to development version | 23:07 |
| OerHeks | but i agree | 23:07 |
| sere | how can i tell an application to run on a certain workstation from the command line | 23:22 |
| kenrin | Going to need more context than that | 23:24 |
| nacc | sere: doyou mean 'workspace'? | 23:25 |
