ikoniawhat makes you think the build failed ?00:00
ikoniahttp://paste.ubuntu.com/p/FrjRh7xdSS/00:00
ikoniafrom that paste00:00
JoopSoopThat's the wrong one that had only half the output. Here it is when I caught all the output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/ndczCkDfYt/00:02
JoopSoopDid I post the same one twice by mistake?00:02
ikoniaso if you look at the error, it's basically saying it's referencing something that doesn't exist00:03
JoopSoop@ikonia, the "hd_exe_section_is_code" of it?  I am sorry I am a novice.  I couldn't pick out what is significant within this and there is no documentation. the readme says just "type make"00:05
ikoniaJoopSoop: so we can't support this software for you00:05
JoopSoopI thought this was the place to ask such questions00:05
ikoniaJoopSoop: the guy who maintains it is the guy to help you, if he no longer maintains it and it's unmaintained, you're pretty much screwed00:06
ikoniaJoopSoop: this is ubuntu support - not 3rd party software build support that is out of support00:06
OerHeksif you would get the source from our repo's. i guess it works..00:09
ikoniaOerHeks: is it in the repos ?00:10
ikoniaI don't see it00:10
JoopSoop_@ikonia  That's disappointing. I'll look for a community that with a broader goal to help solve each others linux/ubuntu problems.00:11
JoopSoop_thanks for looking00:11

ghostnik11Bashing-om, hey i am finally back on and i used super disk to get into ubuntu but i don't know how to undo the changes that got install so that ubuntu can be seen as a choose during booting process. i am now in ubuntu the one that crashed during the update00:26
neoxhi00:27
Bashing-omghostnik11: - think'n00:28
ghostnik11Bashing-om, is their an command i can run to purge all the previous stuff that was being installed while it crashed. also i tried to run update grub and it crashes when it says its loading grubia32 or something like that00:29
komnmk456hi00:31
Bashing-omghostnik11: What is the real issue that you are facing presently ?00:33
ghostnik11Bashing-om, i can't boot into ubuntu b/c it crashed while it was doing an apt-install update = like when u just tell it to normally update stuff that the system needs to update periodically. so now i don't have the option to boot into ubuntu but i download superdisk2 and was able to have it on a live cd and i can find the ubuntu and boot it but only with the superdisk2. so i want to be able to boot back into it without superdisk200:35
ghostnik11Bashing-om, so i just took a look at this real quick: https://journalxtra.com/linux/desktop-recovery/fix-ubuntu-16-10-upgrade-boot-failure/ but the thing is my system didn't crash during an update00:36
ghostnik11they said i can run a dpkg –configure -a and that will undo maybe the changes? Bashing-om i don't know but what do u think00:37
Bashing-omghostnik11: K; remind me, is this an EFI booting system ?00:38
ghostnik11Bashing-om, yeah the bootloader uses windows like mbr first i think then i get the grub option of ubuntu? like i don't see it anymore when i press esc key to see if i can boot with ubuntu. well b/4 i had 3 options: 2 options for ubuntu and 1 for android x86. but now i only have one option for ubuntu and 1 for android but when i click ubuntu it seems to just bring me to android so i think its not connected properly00:44
Bashing-omghostnik11: Uh huh - sounds like the ubuntu link is broken . but I have no EFI experience - off hand I do not know how to repair it .00:47
ghostnik11Bashing-om, do you know any site i can go to to read up on how to fix and efi link to let me get to grub?00:48

ikoniawhat is spss ?00:49
huntington12300:49
kostkonikonia, statistical software00:49
songdenapp for statistic00:49
Bashing-omghostnik11: Sorry, again EFI is not on my field of interest - hang loose here and see if others here will pick you up .00:50
ikoniais it open source ?00:50
ikonia(I've never heard of it)00:50
songdenit's own IBM00:50
ikoniaso wouldn't IBM have install instructions for ubuntu ?00:50
kostkonikonia, no, but it's industry standard like matlab for example00:51
songdenbut i need to install00:51
ikoniakostkon: right, I get the idea, good reference example00:51
ikoniasongden: so if it's IBM software, ask them how to install it00:51
songdendid you know about other software can use present in statistic?00:53

Alabasterfirst time on IRC in a very long time01:09
Alabastercan anyone hear me.. heh01:09
Bashing-omAlabaster: I read you .01:09
Alabasterawesome... I am so out the loop01:10
AlabasterI forgot my old friend. IRC. I wonder how humanity has been these last years01:10
ghostnik11hey so i need help fixing and efi so that it recognizes the ubuntu partition and i can get back into ubuntu. i have looked up at these steps and want to know if this will help me: https://superuser.com/questions/376470/how-to-reinstall-grub2-efi01:10
AlabasterSo I guess this just means there are not a lot of people really actually in the room01:10
hfpAlabaster: hmmmm I see 1500 people in the room01:11
Bashing-omAlabaster: irc is still here .. and still supported . speaking of support, you are in a support channel, not a "chat" room .01:11
AlabasterDo people still give a hand to noobs this day anymore. I'm pulling my hair out01:11
hfpAlabaster: that's what this channel is for. Ask away and if someone can help they'll answer01:12
electricmilkNothing wrong with helping newbs01:12
electricmilkWe are all newbs to one topic or another01:12
Alabasterwell I don't want to bother anyone. But yeah. New to Linux again for about ... well decade01:12
electricmilkNow when someone comes in a channel with NO etiquette. That is frustrating01:13
AlabasterThanks guys. Sounds like oldschool IRC01:13
Alabasteryeah I can assume01:13

hohoany idea how to get that sucker running?  text mode only (sshd, can't even get local console.)01:15
AlabasterI just installed Ubuntu as a VM and installed gnome 3 as my GUI Shell01:15
Alabasterfirst stupid question will I break anything or loose permissions if I had changed the user name without the file in the /host folder01:16
AlabasterI turned it from linux@vmblahblahc~vmblah to Me@me01:17
hoho@Alabaster how did you changed the user name?01:19
Alabasterehhhhh forgot the googling I did... ehhhh01:20
Kcherman101:20
Alabasteri mean if I list my home folder in the terminal everything shows up01:20
AlabasterI honestly don't remember the simple lines I put in, I just don't simply remember the basics01:21
hoho@Alabaster: usermod just changes the name, home directory stays the same unless you give it -d argument to change the home at the same time. so should be fine if you did it that way.01:21
AlabasterI do believe I did usermod -something01:22
hoho@Alabaster, sounds like it's fine then.01:22
Alabasteryeah its' just /home/linux still01:22
hohoamybody know about Ryzen support?  I got a new 2400G, and ssh works great ;-)01:23
Alabasterdo I need anything after my username@hostname like the "~host" at the end I believe it is01:23
ghostnik11so it seems that my efi boot on hdd is not there01:23
Alabasterlike is me@me fine?01:24
hoho@Alabaster ''do I need anything" ... what for?  what are you trying to do?01:24
Alabasteror do I need to have me@me~me01:24
Alabasterwell after installing everything I want to learn how linux works in relation to the open world (Global) communication to others and devices. Learn networking through linux and the like01:25
Alabasterfirst off I tried something as odd sounding as the "write" command with two terminals open and not a damn thing happened01:26
hoho@Alabaster:  not specific enough.  What command are you feeding me@me~me to?  What specific action are you hoping to accomplish?01:27
Alabasterim just making sure me@me is fine and that I will be able to be found when talking, remoting and learning with others network speaking01:28
Alabasternow you see how much a noob I am referring to myself as I assume01:29
Alabasterok all I know is me = username and @me = hostname correct?01:29
bazhangAlabaster, what is network speaking, and how is this specific to ubuntu support01:29
hoho@Alabaster me = username @ is a separator  me= hostname.01:30
Alabasterhoho yeah thats what I thought01:30
Alabasterhoho is it fine I have ~name at the end?01:31
hohoAnyone know how to get bleeding edge AMD drivers?  xorgs-edgers doesn't seem to be it anymore?01:31
hoho@Alabaster:  what is ~name for?01:31
Alabasterwhat is the ~(name) anyway.. for example me@me~someword01:32
bazhangAlabaster, did you have some ubuntu support related questions for the channel01:33
hoho@Alabaser: I think you're just looking at a shell prompt... it is telling you your username, your hostname, and the (last) directory you are in. It isn't somethng you use to communicate with others.01:33
Alabasteroriginally my vm setup my linux as linux@linux~virtualMachine I believe01:33
Alabasterahhhhh01:33
bazhangAlabaster, what version of ubuntu is that01:34
Alabasterwell I found the write command could communicate to others through command line01:34
hoho@Alabaster, you were logged into as user: linux on hostname linux, in /home/virtualMachine... most likely.01:34
Alabaster16.04.0401:34
Alabasterit just updated a couple days ago I believe from .301:35
bazhangAlabaster, and what is 'network speaking'01:35
hohoAMD drivers anyone?   Ryzen?01:35
Alabasterattempting to learn things for basic career needed knowledge01:36
ghostnik11can i repair efi boot with this command: dosfsck01:36
Alabasterlike helping clients with software. Generally speaking per example a friend of mine should or as needed RDPd01:36
bazhangAlabaster, then you would need a general networking channel to assist you, unless you have some ubuntu related support issues01:37
Alabasterbut just in the fun sense to begin with just talking to other people with the "write"command01:37
ghostnik11here is a my pastebin of fdisk: https://pastebin.com/JDMutft301:37
AlabasterI'm just making sure first really I didn't screw up anything and my linux can be found or find others01:38
Alabasterbut I see what your saying. I should find a basic linux channel or linux command chat01:38
hfpAlabaster: sounds like you need an online tutorial of sorts01:39
bazhangAlabaster, you were thinking about using 'write' in the terminal to chat with others over the internet?01:39
AlabasterSo I will ask one last terribly dumb question... If anyone uses a Virtual Machine to run Linux where is the real IP address? The one I see in Windows IPconfig or in linux??01:39
Alabasterno I just wanted to test if it sent to another terminal as per the YT video I was watching01:40
vistefanHi! How could I disable notification "There is still a process running in this terminal. Closing the terminal will kill it." that appears when i close gnome-terminal? I want it to not appear even if I have running tasks.01:40
bazhangAlabaster, that's not even specific to linux01:40
Alabasterdidn't happen01:40
AlabasterYeah I know. I realize I should be in others learning or re-learning command lines01:41
ghostnik11is it normal for the start of your partition to say 0.00? because i ran the parted command and it says my start has 0.0001:42
bazhangAlabaster, try #bash , ##networking for such things01:42
Alabasterbazhang. Thanks.01:42
AlabasterThanks everyone01:43
hoho@ghostnik11:  I usually put the first partition offset from 0, so I would start at 1049kB or something like that.  on a hard disk.01:43
ghostnik11hoho, i am trying to fix efi boot so i can boot to ubuntu and my system crashed during an update and now i can't get back into ubuntu so looked a parted command it shows where the partition is and that it has a gpt scheme but i don't know if its correct01:44
ghostnik11Hey so i need help b/c my system crashes when i run sudo dpkg --configure -a02:02
ghostnik11It shows setting up grub-efi-ia32 and then it freezes when it says installing for i386-efi platform02:03

tomreynvistefan: what did you ask again?02:19
vistefantomreyn: Hi! How could I disable notification "There is still a process running in this terminal. Closing the terminal will kill it." that appears when i close gnome-terminal? I want it to not appear even if I have running tasks.02:19
tomreynoh hmm i've never run into this message, but i dont use gnome temrinal02:20
tomreynlet's see what a web search has to say on this02:20
tomreynso "ps T" should show you the processes still running02:21
tomreynvistefan: maybe you always have the same process still running there and this just needs to be fixed?02:21
tomreynthis is from https://askubuntu.com/questions/772350/how-to-find-still-running-processes-in-a-terminal02:22
vistefanNo, no, that's not the trouble. This is more configuration question. I value this message a bit annoying. I use tmux so sometimes it is proper for me to close terminal where tmux is still running. Or e.g. I can use vim and save file, but i don't want to quit vim manually to close the terminal I just want to close whole window. So I want to disable this notification, because I know what i do.02:23
tomreyni see. i guess vim wont be able to remove temp files then but if you're aware of that i guess that works. but i don't know the answer, sorry.02:25

outoftime_92HobGoblin: it is good channel for help with graphics intall, just required people away03:12
hfpoutoftime_92: run `pidof firefox`03:15
hfpoutoftime_92: and ten `kill -9 <pid>` replacing <pid> with every number that pidof gave you03:15
hfpit will kill all the zombie firefox processes, then you should be good to re-open firefox03:16
outoftime_92hfp: do you know any way to loop through pids except for ...; do ... ; done ?03:18
outoftime_92hfp: http://termbin.com/8c4t still have some03:22

outoftime_92hfp: second column*03:23
outoftime_92hfp: even sudo kill -9 didn't help03:24

outoftime_92hfp: http://termbin.com/bez303:27
hfpoutoftime_92: you have only 3 pids to kill, why don't you do it manually? it's much faster than debugging your for loop IMHO03:29
hfpand I think your issue is that $pid is the whole list of pids03:30
hfpyou could echo them instead to see if you get one iteration or three03:30
outoftime_923 in a row03:31
outoftime_92hfp: 3 rows I mean03:31
hfpheh idk then... what happens if you `sudo kill -9 20758`? Does that kill it?03:32
outoftime_92hfp: nope03:32
hfpsorry, idk then. you could try `ps axfu` to see what the parent process is and see if you can kill it instead03:34
outoftime_92found this in my dmesg http://termbin.com/n94t03:36
outoftime_92hfp: http://termbin.com/ai1k03:36

ConsoleFxthis never happened to before05:51
ConsoleFxto me before**05:51
MeaCulpaI tried installing kubuntu desktop today with no joy, I figure if somethings working leave it be hehe05:51
MeaCulpamust be a way around it05:51
ConsoleFxhmmm05:51
MeaCulpacheck and see if it's mounted in your file manager05:52
ConsoleFxsomething is blocking the wireless driver I feel05:52
ConsoleFxmounted?? meaning05:52
ConsoleFxu mean the USB dongle as a USB drive?05:52
MeaCulpameaning it should appear under +other05:52
rroethofhmm feel like dropping Ubuntu altogether.. why the frack replace /etc/network/interfaces with crappy yaml bullshit05:52
MeaCulpayeah I think it should be mounted, like a disk05:53
ConsoleFxnope05:53
MeaCulpahmmm05:53
ConsoleFxbasically it doesnt mount05:53
ConsoleFxhowever i could see in dmesg that its plugged-in05:53
MeaCulpawhat happens when you plug it in with system running?05:53
ConsoleFxbut it says "Link is not ready"05:54
MeaCulpaany notifications?05:54
ConsoleFxzero05:54
MeaCulpalet me try plugging one into mine05:54
MeaCulpabrb05:54
ConsoleFxOnly in the notification panel, it says Wi-Fi Networks<lf>device not ready05:54
MeaCulpahmm mine notifies that a network connection is established when plugged in05:57
MeaCulpamaybe an issue with the dongle05:57
MeaCulpacan you try it in something else05:57
ConsoleFxit works fine on my dual boot win7 though05:57
ConsoleFxin the same usb port05:57
MeaCulpamaybe take a look in network settings05:58
ConsoleFxnothing significant05:59
ConsoleFxall looks normal05:59
ConsoleFxi have no idea wtf happened :s05:59
ConsoleFxthis is indeed annoying05:59
MeaCulpaif you go into system setting then network it should come up under the wired tab where there is an on/off switch06:01
MeaCulpaopen your network setting and watch as you plug it in06:01
ConsoleFxlink detected: no06:01
MeaCulpahang on at tic consolefx06:02
MeaCulpaI turned mine off while I was messing with it now I cant get it back and I think there in lies the clue06:03
ConsoleFxoops06:04
ConsoleFx!!06:04
MeaCulpajust as well I never use it06:04
ConsoleFxhmm06:05
ConsoleFxso there is no way I can reset my complete wireless settings to defaults?06:06
ConsoleFxjust in-case06:06
MeaCulpawait up it took a few minutes now it's appeared06:07
MeaCulpamaybe give it some time to wake up06:07
MeaCulpado you have any other ports to try?06:07
MeaCulpawell it's all happening automagically for me06:07
MeaCulpatry banging it lol06:07
MeaCulpamaybe a reboot???06:07
MeaCulpaare you on that machine now?06:08
ConsoleFxnope.. i had a spare laptop06:08
ConsoleFxits on by my side though06:08
MeaCulpawell try rebooting then plug in again06:08
ConsoleFxthe dmesg shows link is not ready06:09
MeaCulpaor boot with it plugged in06:09
ConsoleFxtried many times :(06:09
ConsoleFxno luck buddy06:09
MeaCulpaI can imagine06:09
ConsoleFx:(06:09
ConsoleFxit freaks me out when i think of reinstalling again06:09
MeaCulpano don't do that06:09
ConsoleFxi m sure there is a minor problem which is not showing any hints now06:10
ConsoleFxonce that small stuff is fixed, it should start working06:10
ConsoleFxbecause the same works fine with win7 flawless06:10
lotuspsychjeConsoleFx MeaCulpa easy on the enter button, try to focus on the actual issue?06:11
ConsoleFxlotuspsychje, okay :)06:14
lotuspsychjeConsoleFx: wifi chipset? driver loaded? kernel version?06:14
ConsoleFxlotuspsychje, yep.. the USB is recognizing06:15
ConsoleFxcan confirm through lsusb06:15
ConsoleFxlotuspsychje, all it says, device not ready in the top right corner notification panel06:16
MeaCulpaall I can find is to shutdown unplug all other network connections and try rebooting06:16
MeaCulpathere are a few articles about this sort of thing, I guess you read them?06:16
ConsoleFxMeaCulpa, I rebooted couple of times though inserting//plugging out the usb06:17
ConsoleFxno luck so far06:17
ConsoleFxyeah06:17
ConsoleFxwent through few articles though06:17
ConsoleFxsome says you need to modify NetworkManager.state file to true06:17
ConsoleFxverified my configs and all are set to true only06:17
MeaCulpaSorry I can't help and that /etc/default/tlp file doesn't exist on my machine06:17
MeaCulpadoes it exist on yours?06:18
ConsoleFxnope06:18
MeaCulpayou're reading the same stuff then06:18

stoopkidhi so, on an ubuntu 14.04 machine i had a usb drive, /dev/sdc, and a hard-drive /dev/sdb, and i copied the ubuntu 16.04 iso from the usb to the hard-drive with `dd bs=4M if=/dev/sdc of=/dev/sdb oflag=sync`, and an lsblk on /dev/sdb shows two partitions sdb1, 1.4G, and sdb2, 2.3M, but i'm seeing that /dev/sdb1 has no FSTYPE while /dev/sdc1 has iso966007:03
guivercstoopkid, yeah - what did you expect?  (you dd'd a iso07:04
guiverciso's are for writing to dvd, or usb for booting & installing.07:05
guivercsorry - hold on.  i think i err'd07:06
stoopkidso i can't dd the iso to the hard-drive and then boot into the install with that hard-drive?07:07
guivercsorry I had a look at a usb-install-media; two parts one 2.3Mb & other 1.5gb (ubuntu 16.04.3 I think)07:08
siva_machinaYou need to boot it from an external medium. Then use that to install to your Hard drive.07:08
stoopkidthat's what lsblk is showing, yea07:08
guivercnope - it's for booting, so you can TRY ubuntu and INSTALL to another usb/hdd/....07:08
guiverctechnically you may be able to boot & install from your hdd, but it'll be to another device (or partition with some work...)   I'd just re-write to a usb-thumb-drive07:10
stoopkidwell i've got it on the thumb-drive but this computer doesn't seem to support usb booting07:11
maryoI would like to customize live image of ubuntu by installing certain packages. What is the recommended way to do this?07:11
siva_machinastoopkid Do you have a blank dvd?07:12
stoopkidnope07:12
guivercstoopkid, how old is it? (your machine)  you have to make changes to boot-order within bios first, though for most dell/hp/.. you can press <f9> (or another key) @ boot to pull up an option (though this can be disabled by bios)07:12
guivercthe <f9/f12/..> key is easily missed; modern hardware is pretty quick...07:12
stoopkidi open up bios, it lets me set boot priority, there's an hdd subgroup, that has it's own priority list, that shows the hard-drives and the usb, it says press + to move an option up, - to move it down, but, doesn't seem to change anything, and i can't find any options in the bios where changing this would've been disabled or something07:14
stoopkidi.e. when i press + or - the options don't move in the priority list, screen just flickers a bit and the priority stays the same07:15
guivercstoopkid, yeah changing bios can be a pain (we don't do it enough to remember anything), but you need usb to be higher. also note some machines can only boot USB device when there is only one usb installed  (esp. older hardware)07:16
guivercdid you see a 'secure boot' option?07:17
stoopkidso hrm, what if i remove /dev/sda physically, so that the usb is the only thing in the boot priority, and then put it back in after its already booted from usb?07:17
guivercnope - with the hdd removed; you'll likely be unable to install to hdd (unless your hardware supports hotswap)07:18
stoopkidi think secureboot is uefi right?07:18
guivercyep07:19
siva_machinaYou eould most likely end up with ane07:19

guivercstoopkid, i'm trying to get into bios in an inspiron (spel?) to see if i can find any clues on bios..07:29
stoopkidi can pull open the bios and take pics of each screen if that'll help, i really didn't see anything at all that looked like it had anything to do with it though, besides for that hdd group priority list07:31
guivercstoopkid, nope (its dell anyway), also looked at sony (more modern) and see reference to 'external' drives (enable/disable) but I'm not sure you'll see that in yours07:36

guivercstoopkid, i'd suggest trying searching online for abit; i used `phoenix bios hp setting usb to boot` & got quite a few pages; hopefully one will look like yours.07:41

stoopkidwhy don't you use google? just curious07:42
stoopkidi saw an F10 option to supposedly get into some system recovery menu, but i'm guessing this was a probably a best buy machine made to be packaged with windows and that was a windows system recovery; when i press F10 i just end up in ubuntu, which is kind of funny/ironic i'm right about the windows thing heh07:45

stoopkidTJ-: sorry got pulled away11:29
stoopkidwhat's plenty? i've got 2G11:29
TJ-stoopkid: 2G is not enough :)  ... there needs to be enough RAM to both run the installer OS as normal and use some as a RAM-disk which needs to be the size of the ISO file11:30
stoopkidhow much memory does the installer typically use? looks like booting directly into root shell with recovery mode takes ~106M leaving 1.8G free, i notice ubuntu iso is ~1.5G, i guess that would leave ~3G free in my probably naive theories?11:33
stoopkidsorry ~.3G11:33
stoopkiddo you have a link that explains how to do this tmpfs method? i'd be curious to see how it works even if i can't actually do it with this machine with the amount of RAM i've got in it11:39
TJ-stoopkid: I don't; It's a method I developed myself to find out if it was possible due to a few people asking the question11:43
stoopkidso would be what's called creating a 'ramdisk' for the iso? and then some how jumping into executing it?11:44

Vic2Which version of Wine is in the repository for 16.04?12:12
guivercVic2, 1.6.2 according to my reading of https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=wine12:14
Vic2ty, so same as in 14.04 .... which makes me wonder why I am having this problem and yet it seems to be limited in scope?12:15
ikonialimited in scope ?12:16
Vic2I have not seen others complain that wine is suddenly broken after updates 10 days ago ...12:17
ikoniain what way is wine broken, generally or for one application,12:17
Vic2I cannot say if generally or one app as I only run one app with wine.12:18
ikoniaso you understand that wine is not a "solution"12:18
ikoniain that it will work/break as application around it change, and as the applications it allows to work change12:18
ikoniaeg: wine could work fine for 10 years for one game, they change the protocol the game uses to talk to the game server, wine crashes12:19
ikonianothing to do with wine updates or anything like that,12:19
Vic2seemingly so but there have been no changes in the app in this time period.12:19
ikoniaso if you use wine to get you out of a problem, thats great, but if you depend on wine as solution, I personally think you'll be dissapointed12:19
ikoniaVic2: there may have been changes around it, ubuntu, wine, the app - 3 core things that can impact wine's ability to function12:20
ikoniaand it's 1 app, it maybe working fine for everyone else with other apps12:20

multifractalIf I wanted to format my laptop with SSD drive prior to giving it to someone else, how can I semi-securely erase the data? Could I go to a live Ubuntu installer environment, and do something like `dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/sda`?12:36
ikonia?12:36
Vic2That is what overview says concerning the graphics ... Intel Q45/4312:37
Kon-multifractal, just reformat all your partitions with a different filesystem from the one used12:38
Kon-You don't even really need to go that far, but you can if you're paranoid12:38
multifractalKon- interesting, wht's the rationale?12:38
Kon-Data can sometimes be recovered if the partition is wiped but nothing has written over it12:39
multifractalJust so that off-the-shelf recovery tools will struggle to recover the data. I'm not intending to hide my tracks from James Bond type attackers.12:40
frostschutzmultifractal, with SSD you can erase all data in an eyeblink using blkdiscard /dev/deleteme (full TRIM entire device)12:40
frostschutzmultifractal, still, overwriting with random data (shred -v -n 1) is the most lethal option, but it's a waste of write cycles if you're going to keep using that SSD anyhow12:42
VojeHello. Using a fully updated 17.10, i have for the last year had issues with avahi-daemon crashing on a regular basis. Most often on the eduroam web on my uni. Any tips?12:44
brainwashVoje: maybe just disabling it12:46
Vojebrainwash: So it's unnecessary? If not, why does Ubuntu include a component that regularly crashes? :S12:48
ikoniait doesn't crash on a regular basis for everyone12:48
ikoniathat's why12:48
Vojeikonia: Still. If it's not a necessary component, vanilla, lts ubuntu should not include a component with those issues. Google is full of it.12:49

Sven_vBVoje, if you don't need avahi, it's probably a good idea to disable it.13:03
Sven_vBeduroam doesn't sound like a network where you'd usually announce service availability to other machines in the network,13:04
Sven_vBVoje, LTS should still include it because avahi can be very helpful in private networks, e.g. for automatically discovering available printers.13:05
Sven_vBVoje, for more detailed analysis, we'd need more info about the crashes, like error and log messages.13:06
VojeSven_vB: Good answers, ty.13:06

Borw3TJ-: But its downloading even with wget.... I don't understand :(17:31
TJ-Borw3: hmmm, on reearching it, I'm not sure it is an Akami server... the name confuses. I /think/ it's a caching appliance called a cache-box installed, likely by your ISP or one of it's providers17:35
Borw3TJ-: LOL, but why is wget going ahead with the download and apt-get dist-upgrade keeps missing that package :(17:37
TJ-Borw3: apt is being told it's a bad gateway, wget isn't17:37
Borw3TJ-: There is no way of making apt ignore that warning and keep downloading?17:38
TJ-Borw3: No - the cache-box device is refusing to pass on the request. We can get to see the HTTP headers with apt too, use "sudo apt -o Debug::Acquire::http=true ... rest of the command"17:42

acheronukcodebam: you wouldn't. you only have deb-src lines for updates22:40
acheronukyour server must have had them at some point, as otherwise there would not be the current version mismatch22:41
codebamawesome I think I fixed it22:41
