| ubuntu1 | TJ-: I'm not very saavy with terminology but I'm just looking for a simple way to tab contents in a sub folder without puking it's content out into the place it's linked | 00:00 |
| ubuntu1 | The stupid sub dir only exists for organization , but is causing functional problems for apache | 00:01 |
| TJ- | pirx: usually it's in the power settings, possibly via a battery icon in the taskbar | 00:01 |
| macca | does anyone know how to change the firefox icon to the nice blue quantum one? | 00:04 |
| macca | can anyone tell me where the launcher icons are set? | 00:07 |
| cowsay | hey guys .. would someone be able to run an apt command for me? I'm on Solus and do not have apt available but I need some package URLs for my Ubuntu server which no longer has functioning networking | 00:07 |
| cowsay | the command: sudo apt-get -qq --print-uris install build-essential linux-headers-3.19.0-84-generic | cut -d\' -f 2 > urls.txt | 00:08 |
| blitzkraft | macca: On the desktop, you can right click and set icon. | 00:09 |
| macca | I need to put the icon on the desktop first it's using the old firefox icon after I updated to quantum | 00:10 |
| macca | maybe drag it onto the desktop would that work? | 00:11 |
| macca | Thanks for the answer btw :) | 00:11 |
| brainwash | macca: check in /usr/share/applications | 00:11 |
| macca | cheers | 00:11 |
| brainwash | the quantum icon isn't blue though | 00:12 |
| brainwash | that's the firefox nightly icon I think | 00:12 |
| brainwash | see https://wiki.mozilla.org/Nightly | 00:13 |
| TJ- | macca: I use this in the .desktop file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/ymVrb3q8rm/ | 00:14 |
| TJ- | macca: I've got it installed at /opt/mozilla/firefox/nightly/ so adjust path to suit | 00:15 |
| macca | The icons are in there but nothing in properties to change them | 00:15 |
| TJ- | macca: you have to edit the .desktop file; it's with in /usr/share/applications/ /usr/local/share/applications/ or possibly $HOME/.local/share/applications/ | 00:16 |
| macca | many thanks | 00:17 |
| macca | found it using "locate firefox.desktop" | 00:20 |
| macca | thanks guys | 00:20 |
| sere | im trying to point grub to my sd card since i cant boot from the bios : how can i find out the hardware address like (hd0, 0) of the sd. | 00:25 |
| sere | that grub uses | 00:25 |
| TJ- | sere: that depends on what order the system firmware/BIOS has listed the devices | 00:27 |
| macca | gonna reboot to see if my fix worked brb | 00:29 |
| macca | the blue icon is in Icon=/opt/firefox/browser/chrome/icons/default/default128.png | 00:29 |
| bcx | I can't set sort-directories-first neither with a vendor override (org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser) nor with a dconf local profile keyfile (org/gtk/settings/file-chooser). Anyone managed to configure it with any technique or is it now only possible by using interactive/graphic applications ? | 00:31 |
| sere | TJ- ok cool i will play with it.. all i need to do is boot it and im good.. i guess i could reinstall and boot off usb | 00:32 |
| macca | wtg thanks guys it's lovely blue icon now :P | 00:33 |
| TJ- | sere: does the system firmware not boot into GRUB on the SD card? | 00:35 |
| macca | did you try holding down shift while you booted? | 00:35 |
| macca | that should open grub I think | 00:36 |
| TJ- | macca: it's Escape now, and it needs tapping not holding down (due to EFI) | 00:36 |
| madara | hello | 00:36 |
| macca | things change every blooming day lol | 00:37 |
| macca | shift works for me | 00:37 |
| TJ- | macca: it'll work on BIOS but not for EFI, whereas Escape works for both | 00:37 |
| macca | ok thanks | 00:37 |
| macca | never hurts to learn | 00:38 |
| madara | can someone help me to use gnome on ubuntu, i don't now how to do it please | 00:38 |
| TJ- | macca: this is because on a BIOS boot GRUB can directly read the I/O port where the keyboard status bits for Shift/Alt/Ctrl are stored to get their state, but EFI services don't provide that access | 00:38 |
| TJ- | EFI only provides the option to read keyup/keydown events, not meta-keys | 00:38 |
| macca | thanks | 00:39 |
| OerHeks | bcx, there is such option, in 17.10/gnome | 00:39 |
| OerHeks | https://imgur.com/a/FiOcm | 00:40 |
| madara | I don't know how KDE is running on my system | 00:40 |
| bcx | OerHeks: indeed, what I am trying to do is to set it non-interactively and without gnome running, vendor override fail because it's a relocatable but dconf local override should do the work but strangely doesn't ... | 00:42 |
| macca | madara you could try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 00:42 |
| madara | ok macca I will try it now, thnks | 00:42 |

| DiecastMessiah | macca: ok not sure but i think it under the server connection window. there a place to put in you password.. and it will idetify everytime for you when you connect to freenode | 00:53 |
| macca | thanks | 00:53 |
| DiecastMessiah | If not there .. there maybe a place in the menu identiies | 00:53 |
| macca | neither of which menu appears on this xchat lol I just installed it under xchat-gnome | 00:54 |
| macca | needs a little exploring | 00:55 |
| macca | I'm beginning to think I need a new client already this is slow as a wet weekend | 00:56 |
| macca | but I guess it's working I'm beginning to learn not to try fixing things that work on ubuntu | 00:57 |
| DiecastMessiah | is there servers? | 00:57 |
| macca | nope it has Network | 00:57 |
| macca | and under that is connect or disconnect | 00:58 |
| macca | doesn't have a names list even | 00:58 |
| jrgilman | Any recommendations for software that can recordto a GIF simply? | 00:59 |
| DiecastMessiah | there should be a area with the freenode server.. could be settings or something .. but somewhere alone with the servers you can connect .. you should have a space to put a password | 00:59 |
| macca | no worries it will turn up eventually | 00:59 |
| DiecastMessiah | along** | 00:59 |
| macca | wish it had a names list though | 01:00 |
| macca | is kvirc any good? | 01:00 |
| DiecastMessiah | I like Hex-chat.. but it seem to have freezing problems with channel that have alot of users .. | 01:01 |
| macca | it only has a tiny window though doesn't it? | 01:01 |
| macca | sort of like the old icq window | 01:01 |
| TJ- | macca: if you're using xchat, then this might help. See the "Configuring Xchat and Connecting to a Server", right-side dialog... you'd put your nickserv identify password in the "Nickserv password" text box https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XChatHowto | 01:02 |

| pengwen_ | cfhowlett, I have a scanned pdf that someone else sent me. I'd like to copy and paste text from it, but it wasn't scanned with ocr | 01:56 |
| cfhowlett | so you're trying to ocr scan a .pdf, correct? | 01:56 |
| macca_ | you could maybe cut a jpg with firefox if thats helpful | 01:57 |
| pengwen_ | cfhowlett, i'm able to print it to paper, and then scan it if it helps. what i'd like to do is convert an existing pdf to a searchable format. perhaps "ocr" isn't the right term for that | 01:57 |
| pengwen_ | in fact, i don't even care if it's search-able. what I would like to be able to do is copy text from the pdf, and then paste it elsewhere so I can edit it | 01:58 |
| macca_ | do you have the pdf file or just the scan pengwen? | 01:59 |

| gt8ost4l | it was on the archlinux forums | 02:19 |

| u_ | pengwen_ this https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Wkxc4zK3wN/ | 02:25 |
| pengwen_ | u_, ok, so you should be able to reinstall grub with typing in "grub-install /dev/sda" | 02:27 |
| aliljet | this seems a bit weird, but why does the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus read almost like an advertisement? | 02:27 |
| u_ | I got error : grub-install: error: cannot find EFI directory. | 02:28 |
| u_ | pengwen_ I got error : grub-install: error: cannot find EFI directory. | 02:28 |
| cfhowlett | aliljet, I don't see it. This reads in the same style as other Ubuntu documents. | 02:28 |
| pengwen_ | u_, gotcha. so now try going through the four steps where you mount /dev/sda onto a folder, and then include those four folders mounted with the -bind command | 02:28 |
| u_ | ok | 02:29 |
| gt8ost4l | bashing om:thanks it worked like a charm! | 02:29 |
| aliljet | cfhowlett: well, I guess I'm trying to understand the real value of antivirus solutions in a linux environment and that only really discusses why you need antivirus and none of the countervailing arguments | 02:29 |
| u_ | pengwen_ could you give me the command ? | 02:30 |
| === kevin is now known as Guest34074 | ||
| === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash | ||
| pengwen_ | u_, i am looking at the repair instructions you found. I don't understand why it is important to include the partition number | 02:32 |
| pengwen_ | u_, i think the right thing to do is "sudo mount /dev/sda /mnt" but their instructions seem to indicate you should be typing "sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt" | 02:33 |
| cfhowlett | because a bootloader on the wrong partition won't load? | 02:33 |
| pengwen_ | cfhowlett, his bootloader should be on sda1, right? | 02:33 |
| cfhowlett | mine isn't. depends on the setup | 02:34 |
| pengwen_ | cfhowlett, look at the earlier post: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Wkxc4zK3wN/ | 02:34 |
| macca_ | I think it depends on the initial install which partition is the active linux one | 02:34 |
| macca_ | mines on sda6 | 02:34 |
| macca_ | can anyone tell me how to search files in a directory for text strings please | 02:36 |
| pengwen_ | in this case, sda1 is an EFI file system (with ~500Mb of storage). sda2 is a linux filesystem (with ~95Gb of storage). and sda3 is a Linux swap. I am pretty sure this one should be sda1 for the bootloader | 02:36 |
| pengwen_ | macca_, "find . -name "start_of_file_string*"" | 02:37 |
| macca_ | thanks pengwen | 02:37 |
| pengwen_ | macca_, if you want to find every pdf file, search for "find . -name "*.pdf" | 02:37 |
| macca_ | I'm trying to find mentions of nextcloud in my apache2 conf files | 02:38 |
| macca_ | I'll give it a shot do I use the quotation marks? | 02:39 |
| pengwen_ | macca_, yeah, you would type something like the following: >> find . -name "*.pdf" | 02:39 |
| macca_ | cheers | 02:39 |
| pengwen_ | macca_, the string you are searching for goes inside the quotes | 02:39 |
| pengwen_ | huh. i wonder if u_ came up with something | 02:40 |
| macca_ | didn't find a thing do I need to run the command inside the directory? | 02:41 |

| mtdms | unzip: cannot find or open Joomla_3.8.5-Stable-Full_Package.zip, Joomla_3.8.5-Stable-Full_Package.zip.zip or Joomla_3.8.5-Stable-Full_Package.zip.ZIP. | 02:54 |
| mtdms | i put it in the /var/www/html | 02:55 |
| mtdms | i did this command: unzip Joomla_3.8.5-Stable-Full_Package.zip | 02:55 |
| mtdms | do you know why? | 02:56 |
| macca | try putting ./something.zip | 02:56 |
| macca | presuming you're in the same directory | 02:57 |
| mtdms | unzip: cannot find or open ./Joomla_3.8.5-Stable-Full_Package.zip | 02:59 |
| macca | must be a typo | 03:00 |
| macca | do an ls and cut and paste the name | 03:00 |
| macca | mtdms, maybe "or open" means the file is corrupt | 03:03 |
| mtdms | i downloaded from joomla site | 03:04 |
| Deragon | How does one gets his debian package approved for the universe repository. Oddly, I fail to find any good documentation on the web about this. | 03:04 |
| mtdms | i will download it again | 03:04 |
| cfhowlett | Deragon, ask #debian?? | 03:04 |
| mtdms | thanks a lot | 03:04 |
| macca | yep I would try that | 03:04 |
| mtdms | i got it | 03:05 |
| mtdms | you know? i unzip from the download directory | 03:05 |
| mtdms | and it was possible | 03:05 |
| mtdms | now im gonna move the directories to the html directory | 03:06 |
| mtdms | thanks a lot | 03:06 |
| macca | cool | 03:06 |
| mtdms | it is the first time i try joomla, have you tried it? is it good? | 03:06 |
| macca | no idea | 03:06 |
| Deragon | Ah... universe is not Ubuntu specific, but Debian... I did not know. | 03:10 |
| macca | lot's of trial and error with open source | 03:12 |
| macca | can anyone tell me if 'snap' has some sort of purge option it's not removing things entirely for me | 03:20 |
| macca | if anyone likes listening to music, I can recommend installing spotify. Hoping I'm allowed to say that | 03:23 |
| tomcres | macca, it's in the Ubuntu Software app, so I don't see why not | 03:24 |
| macca | cool :) | 03:24 |
| macca | not sure if adverising is banned in here | 03:25 |
| cfhowlett | it is banned. | 03:26 |
| macca | thought it might have been | 03:26 |
| cfhowlett | but yes, you can give opinions. thanks! | 03:26 |
| macca | :) | 03:26 |

| cfhowlett | you do realize you are asking to upgrade to an unreleased, unsupported beta version, slimetrap? | 03:31 |
| slimetrap | oh well ok ??? | 03:31 |
| slimetrap | someone linked me to it in response to my question i just figured i had to upgrade | 03:31 |
| cfhowlett | read first. upgrade later. the point made was that BB is not supported or discussed in this channel. if you are on BB, go to #ubuntu+1 for support | 03:32 |
| macca | I run apt update, then apt list --upgradable religiously when I fire up my computer | 03:34 |

| ghostnik11 | please help me my ubuntu 16.04 just crashed while it was in an update and the only thing i can get into is my android-x86 partition | 04:25 |
| Bashing-om | ghostnik11: Can you boot a recovery kernel from the grub boot menu ? | 04:26 |
| ghostnik11 | no it doesn't even give me the option Bashing-om i am freaking out | 04:26 |
| ghostnik11 | Bashing-om i have so much school stuff on that section and it just froze for like 4 to 5 minutes so i decided to just turn it off b/c nothing was moving and i am paying for interternet time in a hotel | 04:27 |
| Bashing-om | ghostnik11: What results when you do attempt to boot ? How far does the system get ? | 04:28 |
| ghostnik11 | i can get grub for android x86 but when i click on ubuntu from windows grub loader it just puts me into android x86 | 04:29 |
| ghostnik11 | Bashing-om is it really lost forever | 04:29 |
| Bashing-om | ghostnik11: With a liveUSB, time and effort .. linux is always fixable . | 04:31 |
| Curi0 | I created an Ubuntu container using debootstrap and systemd-nspawn but what is the default login ? | 04:31 |
| ghostnik11 | Bashing-om i don't have such a chance b/c i am not home, i am outside the states where internet is not reliable | 04:31 |
| Curi0 | i tried root and toor it didn't work | 04:31 |
| Flannel | and with a liveCD, you can grab your files even if you decide to reinstall instead of fix the install. | 04:32 |
| ghostnik11 | Bashing-om i need to find out the steps: now so i can download them and then try them while i am here b/c i won't be back home till june | 04:32 |
| ghostnik11 | Flannel yeah but i am running ubuntu 16.04 on a asus t100 = which is like a highly customizable system, i had certain things in it to make it function specifically with the asus t100 b/c asus isn't friendly with linux | 04:33 |
| ghostnik11 | Flannel its not just the files but the whole system that i want back the exact way it is | 04:34 |
| ghostnik11 | Flannel i should have never told it to update | 04:34 |
| Bashing-om | ghostnik11: Sorry, I do not know android at all - presently I can not offer a solution without a live environment to work from . | 04:34 |
| ghostnik11 | Bashing-om, well its not even android, b/c android uses grub, so i have a grub but i would have to tell grub where the system is located on the disk | 04:35 |
| Bashing-om | ghostnik11: As above, if you can boot to the grub boot menu we "might" be able to work something out . | 04:36 |
| CharlieMurphy | can Ubuntu be run from an android phone (to replace the phone ui and still use phone) | 04:36 |
| === Leion1 is now known as Leion | ||
| ghostnik11 | Bashing-om or is it possible to tell the windows boot loader where it is? b/c when it first comes up i just hit esc and i usually get option for ubuntu and uefi os and when i select ubuntu it brings me to grub 2.0 with options of ubuntu 16.04 and the kernel | 04:37 |
| Bashing-om | ghostnik11: I have no EFI experience .. can not advise on how to get to to grub's boot menu . | 04:38 |
| ghostnik11 | Bashing-om this is some BS!! i can't believe that this happened | 04:39 |
| Bashing-om | ghostnik11: I feel for you // But until you can boot to something we can work from, not a thing I can do . | 04:41 |
| ghostnik11 | Bashing-om the thing i don't get is that i installed android x86 from ubuntu 16.04 so i am able to see android so that must mean that my ubuntu is somewhat alive even for a little to see if i could undo the bad upgrade that crashed | 04:41 |
| ghostnik11 | Bashing-om okay once i am in the grub 2.0 menu for android is there a way i can tell it to do a search for ubuntu partition? | 04:42 |
| Bashing-om | ghostnik11: Can not say as I do not know android . | 04:43 |
| ghostnik11 | Bashing-om if i load a live boot what would i then have to do? | 04:45 |
| Bashing-om | ghostnik11: set up a full change root and complete the update . | 04:45 |
| Bashing-om | !chroot | ghostnik11 | 04:47 |
| ubottu | ghostnik11: A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot | 04:47 |
| ghostnik11 | Bashing-om okay how can i do that b/c when i get back to my apartment i can make a live usb then do it but i need instructions to download now (like stuff to read that will walk me through the steps b/c i am on an island with horrible internet) so at my apartment i have no internet = meaning everything will have to be done off line | 04:48 |
| ghostnik11 | Bashing-om okay i saved that webpage, anything eles? | 04:49 |
| ghostnik11 | Bashing-om is there any way i can sign into grub from network? | 04:50 |
| ghostnik11 | Bashing-om the thing also was that i wasn't even downloading anything. i was just at the part where it installs everything and waiting for it to finish while i was surfing the net | 04:51 |
| Bashing-om | ghostnik11: While there is a way - I have never attempted.. no idea what will be needed to access grub from the network , | 04:52 |
| ghostnik11 | Bashing-om how? | 04:52 |
| ghostnik11 | Bashing-om also with ubuntu i had many different kernel versions installed so is it possible to see if i would be able to get to one of them since the update was running in kernel 4.14? | 04:54 |
| Bashing-om | ghostnik11: If you can get to grub's boot menu .. sure ! try and boot an older kernel ir a recovery kernel . | 04:56 |
| ghostnik11 | Bashing-om then what after that | 04:57 |
| Bashing-om | ir/or* | 04:57 |
| ghostnik11 | Bashing-om okay i will sign out of internet and see if i can get to a recovery | 04:58 |
| pengwen_ | ghostnik11, can you reinstall grub? i wouldn't trust windows boot loader to be of any use | 04:59 |
| ghostnik11 | Bashing-om sorry i was just kicked off of the wifi - b/c they have a limit on how many can sign into it | 04:59 |
| ghostnik11 | at the same time | 04:59 |
| ghostnik11 | pengwen_ how can i get to reinstall grub? where can i download it and put on a live cd? | 04:59 |
| pengwen_ | ghostnik11, grub will be on your live cd. Look at this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 05:00 |
| pengwen_ | ghostnik11, what you're trying to do is perform a boot-repair https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 05:00 |
| ghostnik11 | pengwen_ i will try that once i get back to my apartment and hopefully it will install back grub | 05:01 |
| Bashing-om | ghostnik11: Understand . Getting the system functional depends on what is broke . We find that by what happens and what we can ask if the system . | 05:01 |
| ghostnik11 | pengwen_ Bashing-om one sec i will sign out of internet and try to restart the tablet and see if i can hold down shift and see if grub appears | 05:01 |
| pengwen_ | ghostnik11, if you have a device with you (and i assume you are connected to the internet now), then it wouldn't hurt to make sure you have a good flash on your usb stick | 05:01 |
| ghostnik11 | pengwen_ i have nothing on me but my cell phone and the tablet | 05:02 |
| pengwen_ | ghostnik11, gotcha | 05:02 |
| ghostnik11 | pengwen_ and i have class in the morning and its midnight right now | 05:02 |
| pengwen_ | hmmm ... a tablet that doesn't like ubuntu | 05:02 |
| Bashing-om | ghostnik11: EFI system is the escape key - spammed - to get grub;s attention . | 05:03 |
| ghostnik11 | pengwen_ Bashing-om okay i can't get into it. only the grub menu for android so i will have to try the live cd method thanks for all the help and i will let you guys know how it goes from here. i might be technically screwed till i get back home in june | 05:09 |
| pengwen_ | ghostnik11, what kind of tablet do you have? how did you burn your iso onto a stick? | 05:10 |
| ghostnik11 | pengwen_ Bashing-om i have to go back to my apartment and sleep so i can get to class tomorrow thanks for all the help | 05:10 |
| pengwen_ | ghostnik11, getting to class is more important than trying to fix your tablet. learning can still happen without an internet device. ;) | 05:11 |
| ghostnik11 | pengwen_ i have an asus t100taf which isn't suppose to work with ubuntu but thanks to an amazing group of users from google + they got it working with ubuntu | 05:11 |
| Bashing-om | ghostnik11: When you are back here --- we are here to help . | 05:11 |
| ghostnik11 | pengwen_ yeah i know, thanks again. take care and have a good night everyone Bashing-om | 05:11 |

| mtdms | some kind of software | 05:18 |
| mtdms | for example i use in windows aspel, in mexico is for business management | 05:19 |
| mtdms | but there is not for linux | 05:19 |
| mtdms | i think maybe i will try virtual box, but i dont think it can run it | 05:19 |
| mtdms | or sometimes i needed to see web cameras for business and only was running on internet explorer, so i prefer android in that kinda of situation | 05:20 |
| mtdms | but anyway there is always a solution, im happy with open source | 05:20 |
| mtdms | libreoffice draw is like a corel draw right? similar | 05:21 |
| mtdms | i can see it | 05:21 |
| mtdms | i like it | 05:21 |

| Delta706 | Does Ubuntu have a policy of maintaining things so that normal actions do not produce a system with broken dependencies? | 07:35 |
| cfhowlett | yes | 07:36 |
| cfhowlett | to an extent | 07:36 |
| Delta706 | oh that is a shame | 07:36 |
| cfhowlett | this is limited to ubuntu's own packages. The non-ubuntu package maintainers do all kinds of things | 07:36 |
| Delta706 | I am only using own packages | 07:37 |
| Delta706 | I had assumed that things would be done carefully to avoid broken dependencies | 07:38 |
| cfhowlett | again, ubuntu package maintainers adhere to this. Others --- not always so much. As is the case with all distros. | 07:39 |
| Delta706 | Could I be using package maintainers without knowing it? | 07:40 |
| cfhowlett | er ... yes? Because every package in linux has a maintainer. | 07:40 |
| Delta706 | I thought I was just doing standard actions | 07:40 |
| Delta706 | and yet I have had to fix broken dependeneis | 07:40 |
| cfhowlett | package maintainer = the individual/team responsible for ensuring dependencies and fixes are addressed and applied | 07:41 |
| u3472 | n'o | 07:42 |
| u3472 | jkg'nhdrsj | 07:42 |
| Delta706 | an example: ibreoffice-base-core : Depends: libreoffice-core (= 1:5.1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~xenial3) but 1:5.1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~xenial2 is to be installed | 07:42 |
| Delta706 | libreoffice-writer : Depends: libreoffice-base-core (= 1:5.1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~xenial3) but 1:5.1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~xenial2 is installed | 07:44 |
| cfhowlett | Delta706, apt-cache show packagename | grep Maintainer will show who to contact. Alternatively you might consider filing a bug report | 07:46 |
| Squarism | is there no working ansi 2 html converter out there. All ive found are half assed hacks. aha, a2h, ansi2html | 07:46 |
| Delta706 | So there can be bugs which break the dependencies then? | 07:48 |
| cfhowlett | of course. usually detected prior to release | 07:50 |
| Delta706 | ah right. I guess I thought it would be otherwise | 07:50 |

| Triffid_Hunter | ManicManiac: see man mount.cifs, you may be interested in vers= although I'm not sure if it accepts multiple comma-separated values | 08:51 |
| Triffid_Hunter | ManicManiac: if mount -t cifs -o vers=3.0,2.1,2.0 doesn't work, you might try mount -t cifs -o vers=3.0 || mount -t cifs -o vers=2.1 || ... | 08:52 |

| Elyiis | 17.10 | 08:57 |
| bazhang | what's the chipset for that | 08:57 |

| VjdfMQ | Hey all | 09:16 |
| lotuspsychje | VjdfMQ: welcome, how can we help you? | 09:16 |
| VjdfMQ | oh, hm ... screen brightness controlling shortcut don't work, but xev says they're captured | 09:17 |
| lotuspsychje | VjdfMQ: does your Fn + F brightness keys work? | 09:18 |
| Elyiis | lotuspsychje here it is : https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/gqJvrtV6fN/ | 09:18 |
| VjdfMQ | lotuspsychje: Nothing happens when I'm pressin' this one | 09:18 |
| lotuspsychje | Elyiis: you might wanna try bcmwl-kernel-source | 09:19 |
| VjdfMQ | Also, when I've tried to reassign this shortcut to Screen Brightness in settings, it said that this shortcut conflicts with Monitor Brightness | 09:19 |
| lotuspsychje | Elyiis: or install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 09:19 |
| lotuspsychje | VjdfMQ: while you testing around brightness problem can you tail -f /var/log/syslog we might be able to catch usefull errors on it | 09:21 |
| VjdfMQ | 1 min | 09:21 |
| lotuspsychje | sure | 09:21 |
| VjdfMQ | Nope, nothing in there | 09:21 |
| Elyiis | i've installed ubuntu-restricted-extras what should i do next ? | 09:21 |
| VjdfMQ | I meant ... nothing appended | 09:21 |
| lotuspsychje | VjdfMQ: try play around with brightness now | 09:22 |
| VjdfMQ | Already | 09:22 |
| VjdfMQ | Notihng appended there when I've tried to change screen's brightness | 09:22 |
| lotuspsychje | Elyiis: try a reboot | 09:22 |
| lotuspsychje | VjdfMQ: perhaps check the full dmesg/syslog for acpi brightness problems | 09:23 |
| lotuspsychje | VjdfMQ: wich ubuntu are you on? | 09:24 |
| Elyiis | i still cant ping google.fr/his dns or my router | 09:24 |
| lotuspsychje | DevAntoine: perhaps the #docker guys might know that dns issue? | 09:25 |
| lotuspsychje | Elyiis: how about manual install of bcmwl-kernel-source | 09:25 |
| VjdfMQ | lotuspsychje: Linux x4 4.13.0-32-generic #35~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 25 10:13:43 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 09:25 |
| DevAntoine | lotuspsychje: well, I asked in #docker too but without any luck. | 09:25 |
| lotuspsychje | DevAntoine: kk | 09:25 |
| DevAntoine | And I've found nothing on google :/ | 09:26 |
| lotuspsychje | DevAntoine: uninstall of docker as a test to see if its working again? | 09:26 |
| DevAntoine | yeah, I'll try that | 09:26 |
| lotuspsychje | VjdfMQ: system up to date to latest also? | 09:26 |
| DevAntoine | But it won't fix my issue | 09:26 |
| VjdfMQ | lotuspsychje: Yes | 09:26 |
| VjdfMQ | Btw reboot helps, but after some time the same | 09:26 |
| VjdfMQ | mb | 09:26 |
| lotuspsychje | VjdfMQ: wich brand is your computer? | 09:27 |
| lotuspsychje | VjdfMQ: some brands make more easy acpi bugs then others | 09:27 |
| lotuspsychje | VjdfMQ: brightness worked in a liveusb? | 09:28 |
| akik | DevAntoine: what do you have in /etc/resolv.conf as "nameserver"s ? | 09:28 |
| VjdfMQ | lotuspsychje: Thinkpad x201 | 09:29 |
| VjdfMQ | lotuspsychje: yes, it worked | 09:29 |
| lotuspsychje | VjdfMQ: yeah you might wanna look into full syslog/dmesg to see if you can find acpi issues | 09:29 |
| lotuspsychje | !bootoptions | VjdfMQ or play with no_acpi | 09:29 |
| ubottu | VjdfMQ or play with no_acpi: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions See also !nomodeset. | 09:29 |
| lotuspsychje | VjdfMQ: if non of this work, consider a new !bug for your system | 09:30 |
| VjdfMQ | lotuspsychje: Brightness works with changing scrollbar | 09:30 |
| VjdfMQ | But not with shortcut | 09:30 |
| lotuspsychje | weird | 09:30 |
| _mirak_ | Hey guys, I have DB_NAME environmet variable, how do I set it's value to DATABASE_NAME var? | 09:30 |
| VjdfMQ | _mirak_: $bash | 09:31 |
| VjdfMQ | #bash * | 09:31 |
| akik | DevAntoine: if you know your dns server by ip address, you can query it with "host queried_name ip.add.re.ss" | 09:31 |
| DevAntoine | akik: I'll get the machine to answer your questions | 09:32 |
| DevAntoine | But I tried setting 8.8.8.8 as the DNS server in the network manager GUI without any luck | 09:32 |
| Elyiis | lotuspsychje : bcmwl-kernel-source installed and rebooted | 09:32 |
| akik | DevAntoine: it's all about what you now have in /etc/resolv.conf | 09:32 |
| Elyiis | And it works ! | 09:32 |

| BitByBit | Hi all. I'm having some trouble configuring my network in a embedded system I can connect only by a console. As of now I have a link up with a succeffully dhcp ip. I can ping from another PC, but this is a volatile configuration. As of now I would like to configure DNS volatile to access internet and download basilar packages as ssh. could you help me please? | 10:20 |
| av92 | BitByBit, you have to configure manual dns? | 10:21 |
| BitByBit | av92, no | 10:22 |
| maggo_ | hey ho | 10:22 |
| BitByBit | av92, or better i have a local dns but I think i can use also google one | 10:23 |
| av92 | BitByBit, ok.. you're trouble is using your personal dns? | 10:24 |
| DevAntoine | akik: sorry I'm on another issue right now :/ | 10:25 |
| BitByBit | av92, my trouble is that as of now my system is unable to join any internet site. I think it doesn't have any dns configured. I would like to know if there is a command line to try to configure DNS on the fly | 10:26 |
| akik | BitByBit: on the fly config is editing /etc/resolv.conf | 10:26 |
| akik | BitByBit: it'll be overwritten | 10:27 |
| BitByBit | akik, ah ok.. i can add a nameserver = 8.8.8.8 | 10:27 |
| akik | BitByBit: just "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | 10:28 |
| BitByBit | akik, av92 thankyou | 10:28 |
| akik | BitByBit: if you configure your network through /etc/network/interfaces, you can use "dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4" in there | 10:29 |
| BitByBit | I have another question. In my system it seems that ethernet interfaces are down at startup. Should I use /etc/network/interfaces to bring them up? | 10:29 |
| akik | BitByBit: if you ubuntu version supports it, yes | 10:29 |
| akik | your | 10:29 |
| BitByBit | akik, ubuntu is 16.04 ... is that sufficient or I can check it? | 10:30 |
| akik | BitByBit: yes it'll work in that | 10:30 |
| mujii | Hello | 10:31 |
| BitByBit | akik, Im a bit a noob on this... the coomand to bring up the interface is "ifup eth0" for example... firt of any other command on eth0? | 10:31 |
| akik | BitByBit: firt? | 10:32 |
| BitByBit | akik, before, sorry | 10:32 |
| akik | BitByBit: use "ip link show" to see what your interface names are | 10:32 |
| mujii | How to join kali irc | 10:33 |
| akik | BitByBit: once you set it up in /etc/network/interfaces, ifup eth0 will work if it's not configured already | 10:33 |
| BitByBit | yes I have eth0 is a virtual interface, then 3 phy interfaces named wan, lan0 and lan1 | 10:33 |
| BitByBit | plus I have lo and bond0 that actually i don't know what they are | 10:34 |
| Sircle | php process is taking out 100% of CPU. I have many sites, How can I trace on which file/site is taking this utilization? | 10:34 |
| Triffid_Hunter | Sircle: check open filehandles on the culprit thread perhaps? | 10:35 |
| akik | BitByBit: lo should be there always. bond0 is some kind of interface combination | 10:35 |
| Sircle | Triffid_Hunter, command? | 10:35 |
| Triffid_Hunter | Sircle: find pid with htop or so, then lsof -p pid | 10:36 |
| BitByBit | akik, thankyou. I will try to edit the file... | 10:36 |
| Sircle | Triffid_Hunter, there are many sites in apahce | 10:37 |

| ramsub07 | Hi i am having issues while installing new packages. i guess my dkpg is broken. I get the following error and i am not able to install any other packages. http://dpaste.com/285C89R | 10:54 |
| Triffid_Hunter | ramsub07: no space left on device. you need to delete some stuff or embiggen your disk | 10:55 |
| ramsub07 | Triffid_Hunter: it says on my boot device there is no space | 10:55 |
| ramsub07 | Triffid_Hunter: sorry, the full traceback http://dpaste.com/0A4RED2 | 10:56 |
| ramsub07 | I think i have a lot of unused kernels in /boot | 10:56 |
| akik | BitByBit: the file has a syntax which you must follow | 10:57 |
| akik | BitByBit: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/network-configuration.html "Static IP Address Assignment" | 10:58 |
| akik | BitByBit: it's also possible to use dhcp "Dynamic IP Address Assignment (DHCP Client)" | 10:58 |
| jink | ramsub07: apt-get --purge autoremove # might help you get rid of old kernels and other unused software. | 10:58 |
| BitByBit | akik, Thankyou again for your hints.. I will try to figure out. | 11:00 |
| ramsub07 | jink: there is supposed to be 256 Gb on my boot SSD and more than 180 gb are unoccupied. why would it still complain of insufficient space ? | 11:00 |
| Triffid_Hunter | ramsub07: wherever apt is putting stuff is full, check df -h perhaps | 11:04 |
| ramsub07 | Triffid_Hunter: is it possible to allocate /boot more space ? | 11:08 |
| Triffid_Hunter | ramsub07: tricky but possible, depends on how your partitions are laid out.. why not just remove the kernels you're not using though? | 11:08 |
| ramsub07 | Triffid_Hunter: that worked for now | 11:10 |
| ramsub07 | but if i do an apt-get update the next time,i fear new kernels will be installed alongside | 11:10 |
| Triffid_Hunter | ramsub07: sure, but ubuntu doesn't push new kernels that often.. just keep an eye on it, should be fine | 11:11 |
| ramsub07 | cool, thanks | 11:11 |
| BitByBit | akik, Sorry to bother again.. this is what I get when restarting networkingservice http://pasted.co/66c4e758 | 11:15 |

| ecormier | necy_: what keyboard problem? | 13:53 |

| necy_ | Inresponsive | 13:53 |
| ecormier | keyboard doesn't work for grub? | 13:54 |
| ecormier | yikes | 13:54 |
| necy_ | Yes, but i dont know how to make ammendments to it asif it was a file | 13:55 |
| TJ- | necy_: if the keyboard is USB and doesn't respond whilst the boot-loader is active, that suggests the PC's BIOS/firmware setttings need to enable "Lagacy USB" support | 13:55 |
| ecormier | what kind of keyboard? how does it connect (builtin, usb, bluetooth)? | 13:56 |
| TJ- | "Legacy USB" even | 13:56 |
| necy_ | No | 13:56 |
| TJ- | necy_: as OerHeks said, use a text editor like nano: "sudo nano /etc/default/grub" | 13:56 |
| necy_ | Infact | 13:57 |
| ecormier | necy_: if the keyboard doesn't work in grub, there's no option that you can give grub that will make it work for grub... grub grabs it from bios | 13:59 |

| === daynaskully is now known as dskull | ||
| BitByBit | OerHeks, have some skipping messages i would like not to see. furthermore I didnt install these packages | 14:04 |
| TJ- | znull: is it reall hardware controller or 'fake'RAID? 'fake'RAID is actually software RAID - the difference is the former completely hides the underlying array members from the OS whereas the latter doesn't | 14:04 |
| znull | TJ-, hp raid p410 | 14:04 |
| znull | TJ-, i've cloned my 4x2tb disks to 4tb and it does want to start, so maybe something is missing at the end, | 14:05 |
| DevAntoine | akik: regarding my issue with docker and lost of dns resolution this morning, in /etc/resolv.conf I've got the nameserver set to 127.0.1.53. It's weird right? | 14:06 |
| TJ- | znull: if it's using software RAID that may be the case if the metadata is expected at the end. How is the RAID array assembled ? | 14:06 |
| znull | TJ-, its hardware raid, dl180 server with p410 controller, raid 0+1 (10) my disks crashed but i managed to use ddrescue and copy them to another disks, but they have 4TB vs initial 2TB disks | 14:08 |
| TJ- | znull: if it's hardware raid then you'll need HP specific tooling to correctly migrate to larger disks | 14:11 |
| BitByBit | Is there possible that aptitude have no package candidate for ubuntu 16.04 on ARM? | 14:14 |
| znull | TJ-, yeah maybe not sure how to do it with HP tools, because we made copies with dd from where the server on datacenter was located, and now we have other controller, but i dont think thats the issue, i just need to find out if gpt or some data is located at the end of the disk, because right now we are copying from 4TB disks to 2TB disks | 14:14 |
| frostschutz | znull, most fakeraid controllers will put their metadata at the end of the drive | 14:15 |
| Outy | znull: that should be right. raid 1+0 is 2tb+2tb=4tb + a mirror of 2tb+2tb=4tb | 14:16 |
| znull | frostschutz, : initial 4xdisks were 2TB : we did ddrescuse on 4TB disks, it does not want to start, now we have to do dd from 4tb to new 2TB disks, ( and is not fake raid ) | 14:17 |
| znull | Outy, exactly, | 14:17 |
| Outy | znull: why not take the mirror disk? you don't wanna say more than 2 disk gave up the same time - do you ? | 14:18 |
| TJ- | znull: you've not given enough info on how it is failing, it could be a RAID-controller metadata problem, partitioning, or file-system | 14:19 |
| frostschutz | znull, 2TB disks might not work either if they were not exact same size in bytes. you have to figure out the raid layout and run it directly in software | 14:19 |
| DiecastMessiah | I am trying to make a big pastebin having trouble remember the commands to get all the info about my video drivers.. like glxinfo and lspci | grep VGA also any other things that would be useful to add for spmeone that helping me to know | 14:19 |
| TJ- | znull: with hardware RAID you'd need to assemble the array from the controller's BIOS setup tools, presumably via iLo console | 14:20 |
| DiecastMessiah | i plan on putting that info and also to put the errors i get from different games.. so i don;t need to do this over and over | 14:20 |
| TJ- | DiecastMessiah: "lspci -nnk -d::300" will list VGA-compatible devices | 14:21 |
| znull | Outy, 3 disks fail in 3 days from, | 14:22 |
| exploter | Hi guys, any way to install libhunspell-1.3-0? i getting this error " rssowl : Depends: libhunspell-1.3-0 but it is not installable | 14:22 |
| exploter | " | 14:22 |
| Outy | znull: wow | 14:22 |
| znull | Outy, yeah my datacenter was replacing the disks, with old ones, | 14:23 |
| znull | Outy, : so first day disk #3 crashed || second day disk #4 crashed || ( hp controller said #4 was ok ) #3 was at 42% and #1 crashed. | 14:24 |
| znull | Outy, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/tzBpKQhj65/ | 14:24 |
| znull | Outy, I copy the image of 2tb -> 4tb, then I take 1 mb from 2tb at the end and put at 4tb at the end - and should be ok? | 14:28 |
| TJ- | znull: you've still not told us what error is seen | 14:31 |
| znull | TJ-, hp controler, does not see the 4disks he wants me to create new logical drives | 14:31 |

| TJ- | znull: OK, is it's a controller-level problem not the OS then | 14:32 |
| Outy | znull: don't think so. better take the best broken hdds (1+2) + (1+2) for example 2 from first array and 1 from second array and dd both to new hdds | 14:32 |
| znull | Outy, i did this, | 14:32 |
| TJ- | znull: when you did the ddrescue were you using another plain SATA disk controller ? | 14:32 |
| znull | TJ-, yes | 14:32 |
| OerHeks | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hunspell | 14:32 |
| TJ- | znull: did you check if the disks had HPAs, and if so, did you disable those first? | 14:33 |
| akik | DevAntoine: you can use nmcli to see what dns servers it uses: "nmcli con show" then "nmcli con show docker0 | grep -i dns" (docker0 is an example) | 14:33 |
| znull | Outy, for example ddrescuse saved from #1 99.99% so the box should start with #1 and #4 should be enough disks | 14:33 |
| znull | TJ-, broken 2tb disks, we moved them in another server, and used ddrescuse on all, and dump them on 4tb disks, | 14:34 |
| znull | TJ-, after that, we dumped, 4tb disks on another 4disks , (to have 1 clean copy of the disks ) | 14:34 |
| TJ- | znull: right, but did you disable any HPAs/DCOs on them first? | 14:35 |
| znull | TJ-, yes | 14:35 |
| akik | DevAntoine: it could be that the defined ip 127.0.1.53 is incorrect or somehow your route table got mangled | 14:35 |
| akik | DevAntoine: do you have 127.0.1.53 or 127.0.0.53 | 14:35 |
| DevAntoine | akik: I thought that 127.0.0.1 is the default? | 14:35 |
| TJ- | znull: and disabled them on the target devices too? and ensured the HPA/DCO sectors from the source disks went to the end of the target disks ? | 14:35 |
| akik | DevAntoine: systemd brought the change to 127.0.0.53 | 14:36 |
| DevAntoine | akik: why? | 14:36 |
| akik | DevAntoine: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ | 14:36 |
| akik | DevAntoine: it's what systemd-resolved does | 14:37 |
| znull | TJ-, well we are checking that, but at the end ? how much information does it writes there? 512kb 1mb? do you know? | 14:37 |
| TJ- | DevAntoine: they picked an IP which was no currently used /and/ suggests it's use for DNS (port 53) | 14:37 |
| Outy | znull: if it is (1+2) + (3+4) this should be runnin if you place new dd'ed hdds back in original place / same sata cables as broken hdds before | 14:38 |
| TJ- | znull: well, you'd need to first know the size of the HPA and DCOs on the source devices, then remove those to access the sectors, then write those sectors to the target device, then enable the HPA and DCOs on the target device with the same size as was used on the source. | 14:38 |
| znull | Outy, i think its 1+4 ( but they wont start because hp controler does not see them as raid 1+0, because i dont have something at the end of the disks, i think) | 14:39 |
| TJ- | znull: that's if the HP controller is using HPA/DCO for some metadata storage - it might not do that | 14:39 |
| znull | TJ-, not sure if you are familiar with hp products, ( this is my first time.. ) anyway crashed box was DL 120 (P212 controler ) and we are trying to fix this now on Dl 180 P410 controler. | 14:40 |
| znull | TJ-, disk in hba mode is larger than when configured as a logical drive/raid0, so im guessing it uses the disk space to store metadata | 14:41 |
| Outy | znull: if you hve taken 1 + 4 you should try disconnect 2+3 maybe works | 14:41 |
| znull | Outy, #3 disk we dont have, and #1,#4 we are copying from 4TB disks to 2TB | 14:42 |
| znull | reading this now, https://nerdster.org/writing-disk-hpa/ | 14:43 |
| BitByBit | could someone send a snapshot of the content of /etc/apt/sources.list for ubuntu 16.04 possibly not much touched? | 14:44 |
| znull | Outy, : box didnt wanted to start with #1,#4 because i think the raid information is missing, | 14:44 |
| kostkon | BitByBit, https://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ | 14:44 |
| TJ- | znull: have you confirmed the controllers use compatible metadata ? | 14:44 |
| DevAntoine | TJ-: but how can it works if I got no DNS server en .53? | 14:44 |
| znull | TJ-, yes | 14:45 |
| BitByBit | kostkon, Thanks, I'm trying already but I cant figure out the minimun configuration | 14:45 |
| TJ- | DevAntoine: there is a DNS server; systemd-resolved provides it, which is what writes that value | 14:45 |
| Outy | znull: shouldnt be missing. i had same long time ago with intel raid.... i can just give you this: http://www.freeraidrecovery.com/library/raid10-recovery.aspx | 14:47 |
| kostkon | BitByBit, i guess a minimum would be main, universe, security and possibly updates | 14:48 |
| Outy | znull: Software maybe bad. But HowTo is nice | 14:48 |
| BitByBit | kostkon, for example I can't get aptitude | 14:49 |
| kostkon | !info aptiture xenial | 14:49 |
| ubottu | Package aptiture does not exist in xenial | 14:49 |
| kostkon | oops | 14:49 |
| kostkon | !info aptitude xenial | 14:49 |
| ubottu | aptitude (source: aptitude): terminal-based package manager. In component main, is optional. Version 0.7.4-2ubuntu2 (xenial), package size 1322 kB, installed size 4068 kB | 14:49 |
| kostkon | BitByBit, well it's in main you should be able to get it | 14:50 |
| akik | DevAntoine: earlier ubuntu had dnsmasq providing a dns server at 127.0.1.1. it's becoming quite hard to follow these networking config changes in ubuntu | 14:50 |
| BitByBit | kostkon, as of now I have a malformed entry on the sources file i copied from the site you suggested. I try to fix this first. Unlucky I deleted the file besore. | 14:52 |
| TJ- | znull: are you seeing a 1785 POST message during boot ? | 14:52 |
| kostkon | BitByBit, ok, hopefully apt has pointed out the line for you | 14:52 |
| znull | TJ-, i dont see that | 14:54 |
| TJ- | znull: according to the HP SmartArray user guide, after moving an array to a new controller you would see 1785 if the array doesn't configure correctly, or 1724 or 1727 if it did | 14:55 |
| klemax | Hello. Has anybody tested ryzen 3 2200G apu on ubuntu 17.10? with 1920x1080 | 14:55 |
| BitByBit | kostkon, I still get malformed entry... I cant figure out what is the problem | 14:56 |
| kostkon | BitByBit, you could pastebin your sources.list along with the error you are getting, if you want, on paste.ubuntu.com | 14:57 |
| klemax | Actually i just wanna be sure about whther 17.10 kernel supports it | 14:57 |
| OerHeks | klemax, some bugs will be fixed with kernel 4.16 ( not out yet), that APU is fresh | 15:02 |
| klemax | OerHeks, yeah so we will need to wait for 18.04? | 15:03 |
| TJ- | znull: have you thought of using 'testdisk' to identify the PT/OS areas and see if - outside of those - you can manually recognise array metadata (you should see the SmartArray logical name for example) using 'dd if=/dev/sdX bs=512 skip=Y count=Z | hexdump -C' on a 'standard' controller | 15:03 |
| BitByBit | kostkon, Ok I got the apt-get working... I paste the error on aptitude. http://pasted.co/93acbdaf | 15:03 |
| znull | TJ-, no, but will try | 15:04 |
| znull | TJ-, root@debian2:~# dd if=/dev/sdf bs=1M skip=1000000 count=1 | 15:05 |
| znull | dd: /dev/sdf: cannot skip: Invalid argument | 15:05 |
| znull | ( but the #3 disk is on usb, maybe it will work if is on sata cable) | 15:05 |
| BitByBit | kostkon, Is very stange why apt-get seems to look in some repositories that i didnt mark in the sources.list? | 15:05 |
| OerHeks | klemax, 18.04 will have 4.15 .. just wait and see what happens, as the APU is fresh, it needs a lot of TLC to get things right | 15:05 |
| TJ- | znull: values are sector counts | 15:05 |
| TJ- | znull: sorry, skip value is multiples of bs (blocksize) | 15:06 |
| klemax | OerHeks ok thanks | 15:06 |
| TJ- | znull: which is why I'd recommend using bs default (512 bytes) if that's the device logical sector size, so you can quickly skip in device units | 15:07 |

| OerHeks | " Is very stange why apt-get seems to look in some repositories that i didnt mark in the sources.list?" you can look in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ folder for ppa's | 15:13 |
| OerHeks | espresso-bin .. is that really ubuntu? http://wiki.espressobin.net/tiki-index.php?page=Software+HowTo | 15:14 |
| kostkon | BitByBitEveryBit, looks like that mirror isn't the best choice for arm64 packages. You could try redoing your sources.list on that site and selecting the main mirror (for now) | 15:14 |
| kostkon | BitByBitEveryBit, on repogen* | 15:14 |
| kostkon | BitByBitEveryBit, also, “Bit by Bit” the Theme from Fletch, I hope :D | 15:15 |
| OerHeks | kostkon, i think he needs arm, as i read 'aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 ' next to his kernel | 15:18 |
| kostkon | BitByBitEveryBit, and as OerHeks has pointed out you haev some 3rd party repos in /etc/apt/sources.list.d one is for mono, there may be others | 15:18 |

| ibispi | so i guess it's time to uninstall ubuntu | 16:16 |
| ibispi | and use something where regular updates don't break the system | 16:17 |
| jiffier | Hi, does anybody use an ANSI-International keymapping here? | 16:18 |
| Exterminador | any ideas about this? tried changing the drivers but I still enter in a login loop :/ | 16:19 |
| DiecastMessiah | or anyone know a one stop fix to get all the libraries i need ?? i have installed libuuid:i386 and also libsdl1.2:i386 which installed like 80 packages .. and now i have more games working | 16:19 |
| ibispi | Exterminador: i have the same problem | 16:20 |
| ibispi | i am in a login loop since the latest update | 16:20 |
| ibispi | i had to uninstall the nvidia drivers | 16:20 |
| Exterminador | ibispi: but I can login to other accounts | 16:20 |
| Exterminador | but not mine | 16:20 |
| ibispi | huh | 16:20 |
| ibispi | weird | 16:20 |
| Exterminador | very weird indeed | 16:20 |
| ibispi | i'm thinking of moving to windows again | 16:22 |

| docmur | Hey guys, I reset my user password, but wasn't careful enough and well I typed it twice, I can't seem to figure it out. I'm running Ubuntu 17.10 4.13.0 (Kernel), does anyone know of a privilege exploit to get into root? Or is there a way I can bypass having to know my current paswword? I can't sudo up | 16:23 |
| nacc | docmur: lol, 'privilege exploit'? :) | 16:23 |
| nacc | docmur: if you have physical access to the system, boot into recovery mode | 16:24 |
| docmur | I don't have access to it right now, so I was hoping to do this via SSH | 16:24 |
| nacc | docmur: do you have console access? | 16:24 |
| docmur | Yes, I'm SSH'd into the box right now :) | 16:24 |
| docmur | as my user | 16:24 |
| nacc | docmur: not ssh, console | 16:24 |
| nacc | docmur: like serial console | 16:25 |
| docmur | oh, no | 16:25 |
| Exterminador | nacc: you mean backing up and then delete the originals? | 16:25 |
| nacc | docmur: then no, I don't think there is a way to do what you want | 16:25 |
| docmur | craps lol | 16:25 |
| nacc | Exterminador: e.g. mv ~/.config ~/.config.bak; mv ~/.local ~/.local.bak` | 16:25 |
| nacc | Exterminador: the idea being that login loops like that typically (ime) are when some application changed some config file and didn't upgrade properly | 16:25 |
| Exterminador | nacc: I'll do it right away | 16:26 |
| nacc | Exterminador: they 'upgrade' the system one, but not the user one, and desktop apps are notorious for that | 16:26 |
| nacc | Exterminador: that will make your user more like the other user that does work (in that there is no local config) | 16:26 |
| nacc | Exterminador: then it's a matter of narrowing it down, which can be painful; it's often easier to just slowly set things back up the way they were | 16:26 |
| TJ- | docmur: do you currently have a shell with your user logged in ? | 16:27 |
| docmur | TJ-, I'm SSH'd into the given box, but I don't have phyiscal access to it, at least for the next 10ish hours | 16:28 |
| TJ- | docmur: that's not what I asked; do you currently have a shell with your user logged in? | 16:28 |
| nacc | TJ-: over ssh, they do, yeah | 16:28 |
| nacc | (afaict) | 16:28 |
| Exterminador | nacc: login loop still | 16:29 |
| TJ- | docmur: Are you using "passwd" to try to change it? | 16:29 |
| docmur | yes | 16:29 |
| nacc | Exterminador: hrm, that's somewhat surprising (to me); which session are you trying to login to? (e.g., xorg, wayland, etc. and what version of ubuntu)? | 16:29 |
| docmur | If there's a better way I'm all ears | 16:29 |
| Exterminador | Xubuntu 17.10 & Xubuntu session | 16:30 |
| docmur | F'ing YES!!!!!! I figured it out :D :D :D | 16:33 |
| docmur | haha | 16:33 |
| === SimonNL is now known as SImonNL_Afk | ||
| docmur | I just guessed the passwd over and over and over | 16:33 |
| === SImonNL_Afk is now known as SimonNL_Afk | ||
| nacc | Exterminador: sorry, i'm not familiar with xubuntu's greeter specifically, but on stock ubuntu, you can choose 'Gnome on Xorg' or 'Gnome on Wayland', e.g. | 16:33 |
| nacc | Exterminador: do you have those options? | 16:33 |
| TJ- | docmur: I experimented with this situation some time ago when I knew roughly what the password was, so I created a script that generated passwd entries for permutations | 16:34 |
| TJ- | docmur: you can do "getent passwd $USER" to get the existing entry which includes a code denoting the salt value and algorithm, then you can use those plus the permutations to try to recreate the same encrypted value, at which point you've got the original password | 16:35 |
| Exterminador | I have on the top right the option to choose XFCE session or Xubuntu. tried both and nothing. changed from Nvidia graphics driver to Xorg, uninstalled Nvidia stuff, rebooted and nothing | 16:35 |

| docmur | TJ- I actually figured it out :), I just guessed and guessed and guessed and finally it worked | 16:37 |
| docmur | this time I was very, very careful and reset to a known. good, password | 16:37 |
| nacc | Exterminador: it's possible xfce has another config direcotry | 16:37 |
| TJ- | docmur: Yay! | 16:38 |
| docmur | TJ- haha Yep! That was scary for a bit :) | 16:38 |
| TJ- | Exterminador: have you created a new user account and confirmed that can log in - which'll tell you if it is a system-wide or per-user issue | 16:39 |
| nacc | TJ-: i believe they said that they were able to with a different user | 16:39 |

| DiecastMessiah | is there something to check my different lib's or something to reinstall them .. i remember way back i needed to install multi-arch or something to get 32bit software to run | 16:41 |
| Exterminador | I'll try to explain all the steps I've done before the issue occurs: I have this laptop with 3 OS's (Windows 10, Ubuntu 17.10 (the normal one) and Xubuntu 17.10). I've updated Xubuntu, restarted laptop, choosed the normal Ubuntu, updated the normal Ubuntu, restarted laptop, entered Xubuntu, choosed my account and it entered in a login loop. but I can login to my son's account or to my wife account. just not mine. on normal | 16:41 |
| Exterminador | Ubuntu I can access any account tho. | 16:41 |
| TJ- | Exterminador: are Ubuntu and Xubuntu sharing the same /home/vitor directory, or they each have separate versions? | 16:42 |
| Exterminador | TJ-, they're installed in different partions. so I think they don't interfere. | 16:43 |
| kostkon | DiecastMessiah, generally you install the 32bit version of a package like this apt-get install pacakge_name:i386 | 16:44 |
| TJ- | Exterminador: OK, so that datapoint doesn't help | 16:44 |
| VanceCole | Hello. Fresh install of 17.10, when I connect to my docking station X.org crashes, screen flickers about 20 times and then x.org comes back up to login screen but if I try to login x.org immediately crashes again. Laptop works fine undocked. Any suggestions? | 16:44 |

| DiecastMessiah | maybe i need to disable my intel chip .. but it shouldn't be running to my knowledge | 16:49 |
| Exterminador | TJ-, nacc, I think that somehow the normal Ubuntu messed up things when generating the grub entries or wtv it's called after update. after I issued update-grub, in tty2 as root in Xubuntu, I'm able to login again. | 16:50 |
| nacc | Exterminador: that's odd; without rebooting? | 16:50 |
| Exterminador | yep. without rebooting | 16:50 |
| nacc | Exterminador: then that's a red herring | 16:50 |
| nacc | Exterminador: something else changed, update-grub doesn't change your running system | 16:50 |
| Exterminador | going to install Nvidia drivers now | 16:51 |
| TJ- | Exterminador: did you reboot after doing the update-grub ? | 16:51 |
| Exterminador | TJ-: I didn't | 16:51 |
| TJ- | Exterminador: hopefully it stays fixed | 16:52 |
| Exterminador | btw, I found something weird. what are the commands to properly reinstall grub and making the sda6 as the main OS (Xubuntu). because I'm seeing 2 entries of Windows 10 and I just have 1 | 16:53 |

| Exterminador | erm.. after a restart, login issue again (with Nvidia drivers installed). and I'm seeing 2 windows entries on the boot manager and I'm quite sure I have only one Windows installed. how can I reinstall grub properly? to see if it fixes anything | 17:00 |
| akik | badcom: i've used them before, and they had bad usability every time | 17:02 |
| nacc | TJ-: and in response, they posted in #ubuntu-server... | 17:04 |
| akik | always simple to follow problem resolution when it's posted on three channels :P | 17:07 |
| TJ- | Exterminador: 2 windows entries could be the Recovery and Real partitions | 17:07 |
| Exterminador | still, how can I reinstall grub properly (too see if it changes anything). | 17:07 |
| Exterminador | grub-install --recheck /dev/sda? | 17:09 |

| isleshocky771 | Just installed Ubuntu 17.10 and my cordless keyboard is now not working. lsusb is showing the keyboard as well as the dongle; however, the keyboard won't work. Thoughts on getting this to work? It's a logitech mx5000 | 19:06 |
| lotuspsychje | isleshocky771: did you pair mouse and keyboard? | 19:07 |
| isleshocky771 | lotuspsychje: I've attempted to paid the keyboard using the internal bluetooth, the logitech dongle as bluetooth, and just the logitech dongle as the usb keyboard to no avail. | 19:08 |

| === Guest8055 is now known as Natkeeran | ||
| lotuspsychje | isleshocky771: your dongle is usb or BT? | 19:12 |
| isleshocky771 | lotuspsychje: apparently these logitech desktop systems used to come with dongles which could be used a USB keyboard or as a BT receiver. | 19:14 |

| nacc | CarlFK: as in your display (ssh client)? or the monitor connected to the desktop? | 19:56 |
| CarlFK | the connected monitor | 19:57 |
| nacc | CarlFK: i believe you need to setup your environment correctly to do that (DISPLAY at a minimum, probably other thigns) | 19:57 |
| CarlFK | I am guessing my user doesn't have access to the display yet | 19:58 |
| CarlFK | I think I want: command line login to the display manager? (im on the edge of understanding what terms to use for what processes that do what I need.) | 19:59 |
| leftyfb | CarlFK: ssh -X <hostname> ... then try running your app | 19:59 |
| leftyfb | oh, maybe I'm wrong | 20:00 |

| leftyfb | actually, it'll work | 20:00 |
| leftyfb | well, not the -X'' | 20:00 |
| CarlFK | -X runs it on my ssh client box (bad) | 20:00 |

| CarlFK | leftyfb: juser doesn't have access to the gui 'yet' | 20:13 |
| leftyfb | huh? | 20:13 |
| CarlFK | I am sure I need to make that login looking screen turn into a desktop looking screen | 20:13 |
| leftyfb | CarlFK: oh, so you're not logged in yet? | 20:13 |
| leftyfb | you'll need to be logged in ... you can't run an application on the greeter screen | 20:14 |
| leftyfb | it's not a DE | 20:14 |
| CarlFK | im logged in to an ssh session. the gui is still at the login screen. | 20:14 |
| Iam1 | if you're trying to get a gui apt-get install ubuntu-desktop worked for me | 20:14 |
| CarlFK | I think I want: command line login to the display manager? (im on the edge of understanding what terms to use for what processes that do what I need.) | 20:14 |
| Iam1 | if I want to choose between gui and command line only I just login at either normal or in recover mode | 20:16 |
| Iam1 | but I'm late in the conversation hope I"m not out of context | 20:16 |
| CarlFK | Iam1: im sshed in. I want to make the login gui go away and the user's desktop appear. | 20:17 |
| leftyfb | CarlFK: you need to be logged in on the desktop as well | 20:17 |
| leftyfb | CarlFK: you can probably look how to set the machine to automatically login to the desktop via command line and restart lightdm or reboot | 20:18 |
| nacc | CarlFK: what are you actually trying to achive? | 20:18 |
| leftyfb | CarlFK: you could also maybe try to run x11vnc, login with vnc and then login to your desktop | 20:18 |
| CarlFK | nacc: run a video mixer and visually verify that a test pattern is displayed | 20:19 |
| Iam1 | You could have a look here it says to use the -X option with the ssl command https://askubuntu.com/questions/199727/log-into-desktop-using-ssh | 20:22 |
| nacc | Iam1: not relevant in this case | 20:23 |

| nacc | CarlFK: ah i see | 20:23 |
| CarlFK | the ssh client is over a wifi link. I don't want to be sending video data over any network link. | 20:23 |
| dingir | is it normal my port forwarding not working when vpn is enabled? | 20:23 |
| nacc | CarlFK: well, the issue is there is no remote X session yet | 20:23 |

| FrameFever | yes I hope so too | 20:53 |
| TJ- | FrameFever: assuming the NTFS was safely unmounted within Windows it should be auto-detected and mounted via udisks | 20:55 |
| TJ- | FrameFever: otherwise, create a mountpoint and mount it, e.g. "sudo mkdir /mnt/ntfs; sudo mount /dev/sdXY /mnt/ntfs" - it depends if you have the ntfsprogs tools installed I think | 20:56 |
| TJ- | !info ntfs-3g | 20:57 |
| ubottu | ntfs-3g (source: ntfs-3g): read/write NTFS driver for FUSE. In component main, is standard. Version 1:2016.2.22AR.2-2 (artful), package size 400 kB, installed size 1440 kB (Only available for linux-any; kfreebsd-any) | 20:57 |
| FrameFever | TJ-: ahh you mean, I have to check first, whether I have the harddisk visible? | 20:58 |
| FrameFever | under /dev/sd... | 20:58 |
| TJ- | FrameFever: yes; "lsblk -f" may help identify it | 20:58 |

| FrameFever | this is what I got | 20:59 |
| FrameFever | my ubuntu runs on a vmware | 20:59 |
| TJ- | FrameFever: well that is just the Linux root file-systen | 21:00 |
| TJ- | FrameFever: oh, well, then you'll need to use some VMware specific method to pass the NTFS file-system/device through to the guest | 21:00 |
| memphisto | FrameFever: do you really need the whole drive in linux or a folder | 21:01 |
| memphisto | you can share a folder with vmware | 21:01 |
| ioc_ | jayjo_, I'd search for the identifiers in the .class files, that is, unpack the jar >> grep -R javax.swing unpacked_directory | 21:01 |
| FrameFever | memphisto: just a folder is fine | 21:01 |
| ioc_ | jayjo_, that won't tell you what is being used, but what the app links to (which *should* be the same) | 21:01 |
| memphisto | i don't know vmware by heart but go to VM settings and go to shared folder | 21:02 |
| memphisto | and just add it | 21:02 |
| FrameFever | can I not connect to some folder via smb? | 21:02 |
| FrameFever | or connect via computer name? | 21:02 |
| memphisto | you could do that too | 21:02 |
| memphisto | but why not use vmware tools if you have them already | 21:03 |
| memphisto | FrameFever: https://askubuntu.com/questions/29284/how-do-i-mount-shared-folders-in-ubuntu-using-vmware-tools | 21:04 |
| memphisto | or this link from vmware https://pubs.vmware.com/workstation-9/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.ws.using.doc%2FGUID-AB5C80FE-9B8A-4899-8186-3DB8201B1758.html | 21:04 |
| ioc_ | smb/domain require the VM to be on the same network as windows, which may not be the case if the networking mode is NAT (besides they may/should be slower than shared folders or IDE/SATA virtual disk) | 21:04 |

| TJ- | ericus: "sudo apt autoremove" but if that fails manually remove un-needed initrd.img files. I have a script that automates it at http://iam.tj/projects/ubuntu/apt-autoremove-old-kernels | 21:06 |
| memphisto | ericus: so remove 4.4.x series first | 21:08 |
| memphisto | and then if need remove the 4.13.0-31 | 21:08 |
| TJ- | ericus: you've got a custom kernel there with no obvious related initrd.img: retpoline-4.13.0-36-generic | 21:08 |

| ziplerk_ | what's the cause | 21:09 |
| energizer | In gnome, how do i enable the launcher on all monitors? | 21:09 |
| ioc_ | retpoline shouldbe there, it was introduced for spectre/meltdown | 21:09 |
| ericus | TJ- https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/BsY7Wp8T9D/ | 21:09 |
| TJ- | ericus: so you have no autoremove candidates | 21:10 |
| TJ- | ericus: what capacity is the /boot/ device? "df -h " | 21:11 |
| energizer | got it | 21:12 |
| ericus | /dev/sda2 237M 120M 105M 54% /boot | 21:14 |
| ericus | after removing $ sudo rm initrd.img-4.13.0-31-generic | 21:14 |
| memphisto | ericus: manually remove 4.4 seris ; apt remove linux-*-4.13.0-31 | 21:15 |
| memphisto | sorry, same cmd for 4.4 series | 21:15 |
| memphisto | /boot usually around 500M | 21:16 |
| memphisto | ziplerk_: does it work with older kernel versions ? | 21:19 |
| memphisto | it seems it can't find some module | 21:19 |
| ziplerk_ | how'd you know the problem is old kernel | 21:19 |
| TJ- | ericus: you could reduce the size of the initrd.img files; they contain almost all kernel modules but only need the modules required to boot. You can change that in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf and set MODULES=dep and then "sudo update-initramfs -u -k all" should reduce initrd.img size from 50MB to 25MB | 21:20 |
| memphisto | no, you have newer kernel you have 4.15.5-1 | 21:20 |
| ph88 | how does the upgrade go from 18.04 feature freeze version to stable when it's out ? | 21:20 |
| memphisto | could you boot to older vesion of kernel and try | 21:20 |
| TJ- | ph88: same as all other upgrades, "sudo apt full-upgrade" | 21:21 |
| memphisto | if it works we then have to figure out how to get those modules for current kernel | 21:21 |
| ph88 | will wayland give me any benefits as user ? | 21:23 |
| memphisto | ph88: not yet | 21:23 |
| ph88 | not even enhanced battery life or so | 21:23 |
| memphisto | hence not default on 18.04 | 21:23 |

| darthearon | Hi, i have just installed ubuntu 16.04.3 amd64 on a dell poweredge r710 though the IDRAC utility. I have tried installing using LVM and not using LVM. I always get to the grub rescue prompt with errors running ls. "error reading first sector 0x0 from hd1, same from hd2 and hd3. running ls on hd0 just shows unknown filesystems. everything i can find seems to about software raids, not hardware raids. raid 6 on 6x2TB hardrives. 8tb v | 21:54 |
| darthearon | could anyone point me in the right direction? | 21:55 |
| Seburo | memphisto: Thanks, I will look into that and give it a try. Thanks again, bye :-) | 21:55 |
| avallark | the nouveau driver sucks major ass | 21:56 |
| darthearon | that was ubuntu server edition. | 21:56 |
| SnugglyOwO | Hi kwo | 21:56 |
| darthearon | avallark: yeah, ive gotten it to work before. rocket leuge was beautful on a 1070 | 21:56 |
| SnugglyOwO | Owo | 21:56 |
| * SnugglyOwO snuggles darthearon -3- | 21:57 | |
| nacc | darthearon: they have left | 21:57 |
| nacc | SnugglyOwO: please stay ontopic. | 21:57 |
| nacc | darthearon: so you can't even get into the installer? | 21:57 |
| SnugglyOwO | Awww :< | 21:57 |
| * SnugglyOwO nuzzles nacc :3 | 21:57 | |
| SnugglyOwO | XDDD | 21:57 |
| nacc | SnugglyOwO: please stop. | 21:57 |
| SnugglyOwO | B-but why? | 21:57 |
| SnugglyOwO | ;_; | 21:58 |
| SnugglyOwO | Do you have a big OwO | 21:58 |
| SnugglyOwO | ;3 | 21:58 |
| nacc | SnugglyOwO: this is a support channel, not for chitchat, please respect the channel's rules. | 21:58 |
| memphisto | darthearon: you have raid 6 on 6 drives? why not separare OS and data as two raids | 21:58 |
| SnugglyOwO | Or a smol owo | 21:58 |
| nacc | dax: thank you | 21:58 |
| darthearon | nacc: Sorry, i saw that just after i hit enter. also, yes i get into the installer. everything about the installer works fine. its once the system reboots that i get to the grub rescue prompt. so the bootloader is at least installed if not configured properly. | 21:59 |
| nacc | darthearon: ah ok, so the installer env clearly recognizes the env | 21:59 |
| darthearon | memphisto: that would be better practice, and better in the long term. Thanks for the advice. | 21:59 |
| nacc | darthearon: s/env/hardware/ | 21:59 |
| darthearon | nacc: is that something i should run at the grub rescue prompt? from a life cd? | 22:00 |
| memphisto | darthearon: since its not working, why not reconfigure the raid first and start the new install | 22:00 |
| memphisto | when install finishes don't reboot but go to terminal and check | 22:01 |
| memphisto | grub.cfg | 22:01 |
| nacc | darthearon: i'm reading up on it, it does appear to ahve been certified on 14.04 | 22:02 |
| darthearon | memphisto: memphisto ahhh. cool. thank you all. ill let you guys know how it went. might be a bit since it took 5 ish hours to initilize the raid 6. is there any downside to using the fast initilization? sorry for spelling | 22:02 |
| memphisto | i've configured only hpe servers but never had it take so long | 22:03 |
| darthearon | honestly. i havent messed with raid much before this. well, a bit at work, but those were all stood up before my time there. | 22:05 |
| nacc | darthearon: so your bootable partition is also raid6? | 22:08 |
| memphisto | are all the drives 2TB ? | 22:12 |
| darthearon | yes. | 22:12 |
| memphisto | darthearon: don't you have something smaller for the OS | 22:12 |
| darthearon | all the raids are configured sucessfully. rebooting to install os now | 22:12 |
| nacc | darthearon: it's sort of non-typical for the boot partition to be a more complicated RAID | 22:13 |
| nacc | darthearon: you typically want it as simple as possible (IME), e.g. maybe a RAID1 mirroring across all the disks?) | 22:13 |
| darthearon | i went with a 4x2tb drives in raid5 for Data, and 2x2tb drive in raid0 for OS. | 22:13 |
| darthearon | i wanted to get more data out of drives. this configuration allows for 8tb. i was just thinking raid6 would give me more redundancy. i guess this is where experiance comes in. | 22:15 |
| TJ- | RAID-0 for the OS? that's asking for problems :) | 22:16 |
| darthearon | im sorry, typeo Raid1 for os | 22:16 |
| memphisto | oh | 22:16 |
| memphisto | 2TB for OS only that a waste | 22:16 |
| TJ- | I generally use around 8GB for rootfs, 8GB for /var, 1GB for /usr/local and 750MB for /boot/ | 22:19 |
| Iam1 | can anyone recommend a good 'free' CSS tutorial? | 22:19 |
| Iam1 | sick of paying for out of date ones on Lynda | 22:20 |

| Iam1 | TJ, thanks very much I'm there its fantastic | 22:23 |
| TJ- | Iam1: there are several channels from Mozilla on their IRC server at irc.mozilla.org for web devs where you might get help and discussion | 22:24 |
| courrier | Dmesg call trace mentions r8152, do you think it could be the thing that randomly paralyses my system? http://paste.debian.net/1012139/ | 22:28 |
| courrier | that would mak sense since network I/O then become blocking | 22:29 |
| TJ- | courrier: that looks like the USB device is going into auto power save mode; it is possible to disable that via sysfs, and you may need a udev rule at boot-time to set that permanently if that is the case | 22:30 |
| imalison | Is there a published reference on the appindicator protocol? | 22:32 |
| imalison | If I wanted to implement appindicator in my own desktop environment is there a way i could go about doing this? | 22:32 |
| avallark | sorry, i got disconnected. Anyone had any success with nvidia drivers on 17.10 ? I have been struggling for the last 6 hours! | 22:33 |
| darthearon | avallark: yeah, ive gotten it to work before. rocket leuge was beautful on a 1070 | 22:34 |
| === nchambers is now known as telnet | ||
| courrier | TJ- Does "options usbcore autosuspend=1" in /etc/modprobe.d/usb.conf (not currently existing) look OK? | 22:34 |
| avallark | darthearon: did it work out of the box? | 22:34 |
| darthearon | just go to addition drivers (search from within unity) and select the propriatary package and allow them to take care of it. are you trying to download it from nvidia? you have to kill x and alot of other "akward for a driver installation" type things. | 22:35 |
| darthearon | *additional drivers | 22:35 |
| courrier | TJ- Or would it be smarter and/or possible to keep HWE for display only (the reason for which I installed HWE) but keep old drivers for the rest that was previously stable? | 22:35 |
| darthearon | HWE? | 22:36 |
| avallark | darthearon: the additional driver way does not work for me, nor does the download from nvidia directly. GDM just goes on a forever loop on trying to bring up X. | 22:36 |
| nacc | darthearon: HardWare Enablement stack | 22:36 |
| nacc | !hwe | darthearon | 22:36 |
| ubottu | darthearon: The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack | 22:36 |
| nacc | courrier: you can't mix drivers like that | 22:36 |
| ioc_ | imalison, you may want to ask in a de-specific channel, e.g. #xfce #kde | 22:36 |
| avallark | i am going to do another reboot and see if i can revive my nouveau. After ranting about nouveau drivers for the past 2 hours, finally thats all i have got! :( | 22:38 |
| avallark | \afk | 22:38 |
| * avallark says 'duh' | 22:38 | |
| darthearon | ITS ALIVE!!!, thank you nacc and memphisto! it boots with the new configurations. | 22:41 |
| nacc | darthearon: nice | 22:42 |
| courrier | nacc: mmh OK :( I'm wondering wether it's worth leaving the LTS. Is 4.13.0-36-generic different from the kernel that I would have with the last non-LTS or is it likely to have the same bugs? | 22:44 |
| nacc | courrier: it's the same | 22:44 |
| nacc | courrier: you could try the edge hwe kernel, or you could try 18.04 | 22:45 |
| AmericanBlend | how's the progress in 18.04? | 22:45 |
| gordonjcp | I've been using 18.04 for a bit | 22:46 |
| gordonjcp | you really want to ask in #ubuntu+1 | 22:46 |
| AmericanBlend | thanks | 22:47 |
| courrier | nacc: OK I'll try the edge kernel. Looks a highly experimental option though. If I'm switching to this kernel, it might be re-updated very fast and thus either break (if it fixed it) or revive (if it was still buggy) my system in a couple of days after a new apt upgrade, right? | 22:50 |
| nacc | courrier: right, it's mostly for testing the next hwe stack (16.04.4., in this case), aiui | 22:50 |
| nacc | courrier: do you *need* the hwe stack, though? | 22:50 |
| pedrocr | I get quite a bit of screen tearing in 16.04 with Gnome that I didn't get with Unity | 22:51 |
| pedrocr | any tips on how to fix it? | 22:51 |
| TJ- | courrier: I'd try the autosuspend option first, it seems the most likely to help | 22:51 |
| TJ- | courrier: usb autosuspend is a common issue too | 22:52 |
| courrier | nacc: well, I first isntall HWE to fix my display issue that looks very close to this: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93578 | 22:54 |
| courrier | Issue was that disconnecting my laptop from USB-C workstation made it fully crashing after next resuming from suspend (randomly with or without kernel panic) | 22:54 |
| ubottu | Freedesktop bug 93578 in DRM/Intel "[SKL] failed to train DP when connected with DA200 adapter" [Major,Closed: fixed] | 22:54 |
| courrier | TJ-: yes, ok, thanks! Just to check, does it happen in /etc/modprobe.d/usb.conf? | 22:56 |
| ioc_ | hwe can be tested on a live dvd without installing | 22:57 |

| Delta706 | I had a package dependency issue which I think was caused by a power loss during package installation. Is there any way to install packages which recovers cleanly? Or do most users just use a UPS these days? | 23:23 |
| hggdh | Delta706: usually apt -f install will recover from missing dependencies | 23:24 |
| Allanis | Well that was weird. | 23:27 |
| sleepee | soooo... i messed around and installed the pantheon desktop on my ubuntu 17.10 install. it was nice, but i didn't like having duplicate applications for the same things, so i uninstalled pantheon. then i was left with a "settings" application that is not exactly what came by default on ubuntu. wtf did i do? is there no way of getting back my default settings application without re-installing ubuntu? | 23:27 |
| Allanis | I'm sat at my desktop, laptop is beside me, and all of a sudden it dies... | 23:27 |
| Allanis | It did give me some message in the terminal, but I have no idea what, didn't catch it before powering off. | 23:27 |
| Allanis | Well now I feel stupid. | 23:28 |

| garyserj | I have a file called 'in', and it has one line that says user@3.4.5.6 and I want to run ssh user@3.4.5.6 I tried ssh $('cat in') but that didn't work.. What should I run? | 23:37 |
| dax | garyserj: does it work without the 'quotes'? | 23:38 |
| garyserj | with no quotes it says "Name or service not knownname 165.227.238.144" | 23:39 |
| garyserj | with quotes it says "-bash: cat in: command not found" | 23:39 |
| garyserj | without quotes is better. echo $(cat in) displays the user@ip | 23:40 |
| garyserj | but ssh $(cat in) doesn't work | 23:40 |
| dax | does ssh user@ip work | 23:40 |
| garyserj | yes | 23:40 |
| Howie69 | Any reccomendations to recover data off of a microSD card that seems to show up as RAW partition? Testdisk or PhotoRec work with these things? | 23:40 |
| dax | 'cause ssh $(cat in) works fine for me | 23:40 |
| garyserj | hmm ok | 23:41 |
| Allanis | garyserj: The same doesn't work here. | 23:41 |
| garyserj | so it works for dax and doesn't work for you allanis? | 23:42 |

| garyserj | well maybe it'd hang if you called it just straight | 23:46 |
| garyserj | ssh user@ip | 23:46 |
| Allanis | Nope calling it right from the terminal gives me a connection. | 23:46 |
