[00:00] filifunk: And for the other ones off the PPA, instead: sudo apt-get install php-fpm php-cli php-json php-curl php-sqlite [00:01] filifunk: Everything after that should be the same [00:01] phoenix_firebrd, that's not how this room works... If you have a bug, and want help confirming it, then say it. Otherwise what you propose sounds suspicious and unlikely someone will take interest. If you think you have a bug, simply report the bug to the appropriate place. If they can replicate it, they will confirm it [00:02] genii: I get Package 'php-sqlite' has no installation candidate [00:03] when I used the last command [00:03] filifunk: 1 sec [00:04] filifunk: use php-sqlite3 instead [00:04] pragmaticenigma: I have already reported a bug, I want someone with the specific hardware to check it and confirm. Just filing a bug will most probaby rot there [00:05] phoenix_firebrd, if you describe it upfront, someone will be more likely to say "Yes, I've experienced that too" or they might even have a fix that worked for them [00:05] genii ok, it worked, I will move down that page now [00:05] pragmaticenigma: I want someone here in irc to test it and update the bug report so that it will get the attention of the developers [00:06] phoenix_firebrd, then say what you want tested, don't hide it [00:06] pragmaticenigma: what gpu do you use? [00:07] * genii makes more coffee === marve is now known as Guest99380 [00:07] phoenix_firebrd, asking someone to intentionally trigger a bug is scary, concerns of data loss and system corruption are too great. If you put it out here, explained as best you can in a sentence or two... someone might be willing to help.

[00:11] pragmaticenigma, yes, sorry [00:12] filifunk: /join #ubuntu-offtopic and we can continue spamming them in there ;) [00:12] Hey does anyone use gitlab pages on ubuntu? [00:12] genii ok lol [00:12] mojtaba, are you familiar with setting up an rsync server instance?

[00:13] hello [00:14] When running gitlab under ubuntu, i setup a gitlab page, and the docuymentation tells me to click settings -> pages to grab the url, but pages doesn't exist in my settigns menu, so i can't seem to find the generated url anyuwhere? which is why i ask about anyone running it? [00:14] hello hathway [00:15] genii, for some reason i can't find that channel...it's #ubuntu-offtopic?

Please register with NickServ (see /msg ubottu !register) and use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [00:17] z01d, that sounds like a question better suited for gitlab's support forum? [00:17] I put #ubuntu-offtopic in the Join channel prompt, click on join channel and nothing happens [00:17] This is regarding a old intel va driver used in ubuntu 17.10. package name i965-va-driver of version: 1.8.3-1ubuntu1 in this driver VP9 decoding is broken for the supporting intel hardwares. Upstream driver from Intel got fix and the patch made it to version 2.0.0. I have filed a bug report. To speed up things, I would like people with intel hardware(cpu) kabylake+ to check this bug and confirm it in the bug report so that I will get the attention [00:17] of the devs and the bug gets fixed soon.

[00:19] filifunk: Most likely it is currently set for registered users only. I will just pm instead [00:19] genii oh ok, yeah that will work sorry [00:20] pragmaticenigma: yes, it has,the bug is fixed in it, but the entire VP9 decoding support is dropped in version 2.0.0. === lynn_ is now known as gryphon [00:20] when will we get vlc 3 [00:20] in 14.04 [00:20] azizLIGHT: I think never [00:20] should i get it by a ppa then? [00:20] azizLIGHT: I am happy you are asking this question [00:20] azizLIGHT: I think there is none [00:20] vlc 3 looks to be major [00:21] oh no [00:21] azizLIGHT, 14.04 is nearing end of life and you should consider upgrading to 16.04 or 18.04 (when 18.04 becomes available) [00:21] i am aware. im waiting for 18.04 [00:21] azizLIGHT: I am here for the similar thing [00:21] really? vlc? [00:21] azizLIGHT, I do not recommend a PPA install, as it may make your upgrade to 18.04 a rough ride [00:21] pragmaticenigma: im definitely going to fresh install [00:22] i have too many stupid ppas [00:22] 1 more ppa here wont hurt :D [00:22] pragmaticenigma: even vlc daily ppa messes up the dependency packages [00:22] if your skilled enough, I'd say go for it then azizLIGHT [00:23] I'm aware, all to familiar with getting bitten by the VLC ppa's phoenix_firebrd [00:23] pragmaticenigma: ok [00:23] phoenix_firebrd: vlc daily? is that a different name for nightly?

[00:48] happy friday [00:49] ok my hdd mounted... how do i point my apache files over to the 1tb empty drive? [00:50] im still on the SSD but it shows my hdd mounted [00:58] !who | psycoborg [00:58] psycoborg: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [01:01] psycoborg: ^ either this, or provide context / sum up your question (and what you have done since) again so others can help, too. [01:02] actually its open to everyone, because i dont know how to point apache to my secondary drive via ubentu [01:04] i want to move my apache files to an empty hdd, in windows, i know how to do it, but in ubuntu, im clueless as i never used linux before. [01:04] all tutorials only move it from one directory to another on the same hd. [01:05] is there a youtube tutorial on how to do this? [01:05] psycoborg, there are no "drives" in linux. You have a directory tree. When you added the new harddrive, is it mounted to a particular folder? [01:05] look at wsftp for windows [01:05] !who | kk4ewt [01:05] kk4ewt: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [01:06] pragmaticenigma, look at wsftp for windows login to your linuxbox [01:06] I do not understand what you are asking kk4ewt [01:07] pragmaticenigma, i am not asking, i am telling [01:07] i still do not understand what you are saying [01:07] pragmaticenigma, there is a program called wsftp [01:07] get that on your windows computer [01:08] use that to log into your ubuntu [01:08] kk4ewt, what are you trying to do? Speak in complete sentences and avoid using the enter key for punctuation [01:08] pragmaticenigma, nm i will go away [01:08] psycoborg: can you describe "apache files" more closely? do you have an apache httpd installed on your copmputer and files in a document root it serves? and you want to copy or move (which?) these files to this additional HDD you now attached? [01:09] tomreyn: I believe psycoborg is trying to move their web root directory to a secondary drive. They state that they can see the drive, but I'm trying to establish if the drive is mounted [01:10] psycoborg: Drives are designated like /dev/sda for first one, /dev/sdb for second one, etc like this. partition 1 of first drive is /dev/sda1 partition 2 of drive 2 is like /dev/sdb2 . But you don't use the raw devices, you "splice" them somewhere into a direcotry on your filesystem. So there's no C: D: type of idea. contents of something like /dev/sda1 just become available now somewhere like /mnt instead after you mount them there [01:11] pragmaticenigma: hmm, sounds plausible, but i'm not yet certain this is exactly her or his goal. [01:13] tomreyn, they said they wanted to move their files to the new drive in their comments earlier. The four responses following your "request for context" response === tfgbd__ is now known as tfgbd_ [01:18] pragmaticenigma: i read those responses, too. :) i imagine someone with limited experience might mix up 'move' and 'copy'. it is not yet clear what "apache files" are, however, or what the overall idea behind this plan is. i don't think we should spend more time discussing possible interpretations of the little information we got until psycoborg has provided more. [01:19] true enough === marve is now known as Guest42049 [01:21] @pragmatcenigma ubuntu and the apache server is installed on my SSD. /var/www/html is on that drive too, the ssd is 120 gigs. im 100% sure it will fill up. i prefer to have the html folder on the 1TB drive as there is nothing on it. [01:22] psycoborg, (small side bar, just use screennames without the @ symbol) [01:22] psycoborg, do you know where the larger drive is mounted? [01:22] so, the SSD drive can still hold the apache mySQL and php system, but files like php files, html files, pictures and videos will fill up the drive, this will include other applications i might install later on. for editing and creation. [01:24] the mounted HD is /dev/sdf /media/mike/data [01:25] or this one, im not sure which is the correct term im supposed to use here. [01:26] oops.. i pressed enter lol /mnt/hdd/ [01:26] Hello, users. [01:26] psycoborg, I think we need to start with moving the mount to a more permanent location. It appears your drive is mounted as your user, which may not be available after a reboot. [01:27] psycoborg: Just /def/sdf or something more like /dev/sdf1 ? [01:28] hey there! having a problem with my powercolor 3970's. trying to do 4 displays. xrandr isn't seeing the fourth but xfce-display-manager sees all four. the problem is that it shows two on the configurator. 3 of my screens are mirrored and one is to the left. anybody know a good place to start debugging? running 16.04 with gdm3 and xfce4. [01:29] i've had this problem for a while and i thought maybe it had to do with one of my screens being 1920x1200 but now i've got 4 1920.1080 [01:29] theTOOLMAN, what is the graphics card that you are using? [01:29] went from an upsideown T to a straight line [01:29] powercolor ati 3970 [01:29] so i can use just this /dev/sdf <-- and omit the other part. i named the 1TB drive data :P [01:29] sorry [01:29] its a 7970 [01:30] psycoborg: Can you open a terminal, and issue: mount ...and then please put the results in a pastebin URL for us to view? [01:31] theTOOLMAN: what is "the configurator" [01:31] idk what its called but the square that shows the layout [01:31] sure. [01:31] in xfce-display-manager [01:32] have not used pastebin in along time.. [01:32] brb [01:32] psycoborg: Mostly because just /dev/sdf and not an actual partition on the device means either: the device was actually raw formatted without a partition table, or: You need to find the actual partition [01:32] psycoborg: fdisk -l lists all of your partitions [01:32] theTOOLMAN: But that won't help us understand the issue I just described [01:33] i must have missed something sorry [01:33] theTOOLMAN, let's work on your concern ... genii appears to be helping psycoborg at the moment [01:34] Because it's entirely possible to do something like: mkfs /dev/sdf and just use the raw device without any partitions, but it's highly unusual and also it won't be able to automount if you do that [01:34] ok the mount info is located here : https://pastebin.com/L0dtwkGB [01:34] Reading [01:35] theTOOLMAN: I haven't worked much with graphics in XFCE, and don't have ATI cards... however if the display manager in XFCE see's all four screens, it's likely xrandr might too it's just not detecting under the current configuration [01:35] theTOOLMAN: are you able to restore the configuration back the way it was, when all 4 monitors were working (even though you didn't want them in the inverted T formation) [01:35] psycoborg: Yes, somehow the entire raw device was formatted instead of making a partition table [01:36] 0.o [01:36] ok. [01:36] psycoborg: So before using it, you should unmount it, make one big partition on it, and format that instead, before continuing [01:36] so, i might need to like fdisk the new drive [01:36] Yes, exactly [01:36] or is there another tool to create partitions? [01:36] or gparted, whatever you like [01:37] hmm.. [01:37] psycoborg: gparted is probably better in this case [01:37] as you can tell im a windows guy, i right clicked the monted drive and said just format it ROTFL!!! [01:38] ok, this might take a minute it 10 [01:38] https://pastebin.com/LKgnKXy1 [01:38] psycoborg: Yes, it's actually an easy mistake to make, but we'll get it sorted :) [01:38] thats the devices and the output from xrandr === yacc is now known as Guest56754 [01:38] installing gparted now. [01:38] ooh.. [01:39] this might be a problem. [01:39] my SSD was not partitioned either. [01:39] if installing ubuntu, will the installer do that automaticly? [01:39] psycoborg: Yes [01:39] or will i need to stick the USB in and start everything over? [01:39] oooh ok. [01:39] phew. [01:40] psycoborg: You do have some main drive, /dev/sda, where /dev/sda1 ( partition 1 ) is already mounted at root ( or / ) [01:40] so thats one of the things that has been a bit tough to find is where the config file is for that [01:40] ( as indicated by your paste) [01:40] psycoborg: So that is where your Ubuntu install went [01:41] theTOOLMAN: what does "xrandr --listmonitors" output? [01:41] i creadted a unbuntu usb installer [01:42] the ubuntu is currently running off of my SSD card [01:42] problem. gparted only sees my 120 GB SSD [01:42] it does not see the 1 TB new drive. [01:43] how to i get gparted to see the 1tb drive? [01:43] PPPF found it. [01:43] nevermind. [01:43] psycoborg: The little window with the current drive displayed , you should be able to change it there [01:44] ( if memory serves) [01:45] ok, can i partition the entire drive? or will i need to break it up in to smaller bytes? [01:46] psycoborg: Unfortunately I have to be someplace. But the general idea is: make 1 big partition of type linux, save the changes, format the partition specifically, should be now /dev/sdf1. Then, use sudo blkid to find the UUID of that partition. The UUID gets added tour /etc/fstab file to mount it under your apache web directory [01:47] psycoborg: I think that another helper will be able to assist you with the process, now that we know what needs to be done [01:50] of type closest thing to linux i see is bsd it defaults to dos. [01:53] theTOOLMAN: does the file /home/[user]/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/displays.xml exist? If it does, try moving that file to a backup file, and reboot. that will help get you to a clean slate [01:59] ok. [01:59] i think i got this. [02:00] i now have a partition /dev/sdf1 [02:00] but it is a linux-swap filesystem, is that ok? [02:00] or do i need to do it again? [02:00] wait. [02:01] let me check youtube on partitioning new hard drives./ [02:02] ok found a tutorial on partitions.. i will see if i did this right.

[02:55] LACampbell: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:55] LACampbell, because of EOL; the repo doesn't exist in archive.ubuntu.com (hence 404s), but its been moved to old-releases.ubuntu.com, but update for security purposes to a supported release [02:55] guiverc: yeah I want to update [02:55] !eol | LACampbell [02:55] LACampbell: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information.

[02:58] I checked out that link, I've changed my sources over. we'll see if I can get dist upgrade working. like I said before I usually don't wait this long before updating [02:58] don't forget to `sudo apt update` first (to update software lists) [03:03] hmm LTS release next month, I might hold off a few weeks. thanks for the help everyone, I can at least update now [03:03] LACampbell, don't forget any security fixes since 13-Jan (inc. all meltdown, spectre) were not applied to 17.04 due EOL === r0Oter is now known as r00ter [03:04] guiverc: ah!

[03:45] Butterfly_: watch 'grep word' [03:45] i now realized 'watch' is a command :) [03:46] without realizing that, the sentence is wicked :D [03:46] :-P [03:46] lol [03:46] Butterfly_: any idea how to do that? [03:47] i wish i knew [03:47] it doesn't seem too complicated though [03:47] what is it that you're trying to grep ? [03:49] Butterfly_: I am checking if a computer is on, rsync one of its directories. [03:50] gimme the command [03:50] then we can work on making the watch work :) [03:51] Butterfly_: just a sec [03:52] althought i'm guessing one of the ops are gonna kick us out soon for being off topic [03:52] even if this channel is dead silent besides us [03:52] Butterfly_: watch -n 300 "ssh home 'nmap -sn 192.168.2.0/24 | grep 2.17' && rsync -av -e "ssh home ssh -i ~/.ssh/key" pc@192.168.2.17:/Users/pc/Desktop/ ."

[03:57] it can not find hdd and hdd1 [03:57] will i need to wip my ssd and reinstall ubuntu from scratch [03:58] i found out the hard way that once the hd is mounted and mapped correctly, it is all i need to do DERP! [03:58] linux is not for sissies lol [03:59] any how would it be easier for me to just reinstall ubuntu? or is there an easy fix to undo what i did. [04:00] lol [04:00] reboots can be disastrous :) [04:00] all goes will till that reboot of hell :) [04:00] psycoborg, [04:00] well* [04:00] try live version [04:00] i figured that out lol [04:00] no install [04:01] hi guest [04:13] i ran the scan, it gets stuck at hdd/hdd1 prompts.

[04:24] yes, thats what i need to do vi\a command line so i can open the file in root mode./ [04:24] not understanding what you mean [04:24] psycoborg: Try this . In the liveUSB are boot options . One such is "boot from first hard drive" . what happens ? [04:24] i figured out the problem, i can fix it, but i need to figure out how to get super user access to the fstab file. [04:25] psycoborg: get your partition from 'sudo parted -ls' and mount it with 'sudo mount /dev/sdxY /mnt' [04:25] it'll be at /mnt/etc/fstab [04:27] bashing that shows my 2 1 TB partitioned hdds but not the SSD drive that i need to access [04:27] oops.. [04:27] sorry. i meant eric lol === mooncakehexchat is now known as Guest66119 [04:28] bashing let me reboot and try your method. [04:28] cause in the file manager i do see the SSD [04:28] psycoborg: that's odd [04:29] psycoborg: Rgere is a nthod to get the boot menu . soon as the bios screen clears hold a shift key . [04:29] hi guys i have wrecked my ubuntu os-think ive deleted files i should not have is there a command to restore os nessecary files back to default or should i migrate all files i want to keep to external and reinstall from usb [04:29] There is a methid * [04:29] bashing 1st hd failed. [04:29] does not allowed me to boot there. [04:30] cant get apt working from bash [04:30] should i take out the USB stick? [04:30] and other things like the grub screen are behaving strange nothing displayed but boots after enter hit or countdown up [04:31] or just let it boot then hold the shift after the bios? [04:31] Guest66119: yeah backup and reinstall [04:31] cheer mate [04:31] cheers [04:32] its the blasted FStab file. i should have ocmmented out the first 2 partitions. when i followed the tutorial lolk [04:32] im just gonna reinstall. [04:32] i can now do everything correctly./ [04:32] psycoborg: just edit the fstab if you think that's the problem... [04:32] psycoborg: Well, will need the liveUSB to access/mount the install. [04:33] i have the on now. [04:33] the fstab file is what preventing the boot because i have 4 differewnt names for 2 HD's and ubuntu has no clue who is the correct entry. [04:34] can anyone post a uptodate link for installing ubuntu on one partition and all my user files separate partition so if i have this issue in future i can skip looking for files to backup for the reinstall [04:34] wow will retype sorry [04:34] psycoborg: pastebin 'sudo parted -ls' [04:35] Guest66119: when you're installing and you get to the bit where you do partitioning, don't do automatic, do "something else" and create a partition for /home === marve is now known as Guest63670 [04:36] okay will it promt me where to install os vs home later in the installation [04:37] it will not allow me to, when i try to edit it via command line its blank, but when i open it from the desktop i c an view it, but can not edit it witout super user powers. [04:37] psycoborg: type 'sudo nautilus' and try again [04:37] eric, i was ( ) <-- close ro reinstalling linux lol [04:38] hold on let me run that and paste bin it to you.. [04:38] it's blank because you chose the wrong file [04:38] im using 4 macines to fix 1 lol [04:38] drinking beer is making this fun too :P [04:41] IT WORKED ERIC!!!!!! WOOO HOO!!!

[05:14] someone gave psycoborg a computer [05:14] [05:14] but looking at them i am confused as to why the boot does not work if the entries i made with the others commented out [05:15] it will ail unless i comment out the bottom 2 entried.
