| bratchley | hey, for some reason whenever I move my nginx server's doc root to a tmpfs mount I get 404's anyone ran into this before? https://dpaste.org/uivA | 02:25 |
| ChadTaljaardt | if i install it using the command apt-get install erlang it works fine | 02:25 |
| ChadTaljaardt | so it only has that issue when i do apt-get install <package-name>=<package-version> | 02:26 |
| NGravity | 404 means page not found, verify the link if corect | 02:26 |
| ChadTaljaardt | i did apt-cache policy erlang to make sure that version was available, and it was there | 02:26 |
| bratchley | NGravity: yeah the URL is correct, updated the snippet: https://dpaste.org/fq2O | 02:27 |
| ChadTaljaardt | https://gist.github.com/ChadTaljaardt/df7e43ddecc33d305bf41d3b08554bc0 | 02:27 |
| bratchley | I can literally copy/paste the path it says it can't find and can read it as the user I'm running nginx as | 02:27 |
| NGravity | Ok, at this point try on root or with sudo | 02:28 |
| bratchley | to read the file from the command line? yeah all users appear to be able to read that file | 02:28 |
| bratchley | it's just getting to it through the web server that seems to have an issue | 02:28 |
| bratchley | it started when I moved the doc root to tmpfs but I don't know if that's related | 02:29 |
| NGravity | Chmod then chown can fix if not a code error | 02:30 |

| lotuspsychje | ash_worksi: photorec to the rescue | 03:32 |
| ash_worksi | lotuspsychje: `apt install photorec` ? | 03:33 |
| ash_worksi | lotuspsychje: also, what is that? | 03:33 |
| lotuspsychje | ash_worksi: no, sudo apt install testdisk | 03:33 |
| lotuspsychje | ash_worksi: after that: sudo photorec and select your partition/hd you want to recover | 03:34 |
| ash_worksi | lotuspsychje: well, it's a usb drive that never connects | 03:34 |
| ash_worksi | so the partition is never available | 03:34 |
| lotuspsychje | ash_worksi: if photorec cant see it, its probably dead | 03:34 |
| ash_worksi | but it says: [20524.714099] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] Read Capacity(10) failed: Result: hostbyte=DID_NO_CONNECT driverbyte=DRIVER_OK | 03:34 |
| ash_worksi | dmesg I mean | 03:34 |
| lotuspsychje | ash_worksi: you might check it on another Os too, to doublecheck | 03:35 |
| ash_worksi | lotuspsychje: well, I don't know if it's a matter of photorec seeing it, but I'll tryin installing and seeing what happens when I run it | 03:35 |
| lotuspsychje | yeah try it | 03:35 |
| ash_worksi | I checked it on another laptop, but not a different OS | 03:35 |
| ash_worksi | I could try windows I guess | 03:35 |
| lotuspsychje | ash_worksi: yeah some cases, its a windows repair trick thats needed | 03:36 |
| lotuspsychje | ash_worksi: and you still need the data on it i suppose? | 03:36 |
| ash_worksi | I mean, there was indeed a lot of data written to it, but I think it's only like 1/2 full; most of it's activity was grepping | 03:37 |
| ash_worksi | lotuspsychje: yes | 03:37 |
| lotuspsychje | ok | 03:37 |
| ash_worksi | I just tried photorec | 03:37 |
| ash_worksi | doesn't seem to see it | 03:37 |
| ash_worksi | it'd be sdb | 03:37 |
| lotuspsychje | yeah prob bad news ash_worksi | 03:38 |
| ash_worksi | and it only shows sda and dm. | 03:38 |
| ash_worksi | I don't know what dm is though.... maybe referencing memory? | 03:38 |
| lotuspsychje | i always try gparted & photorec myself | 03:38 |
| ash_worksi | :( | 03:38 |
| ash_worksi | if I could just get into it one more time, I'd copy everything over | 03:39 |
| ash_worksi | (and never trust USB drives again) | 03:39 |
| lotuspsychje | ash_worksi: try gparted too, just to see if it recognizes | 03:39 |
| ash_worksi | so the fact that it can detect data like [sdb] 120127488 512-byte logical blocks: (61.5 GB/57.3 GiB) doesn't spark any hope? | 03:40 |
| lotuspsychje | ash_worksi: pastebin a journalctl -f with your medium plugged out, plug back in lets have a look on those errors | 03:41 |
| ash_worksi | lotuspsychje: k, well, I have a series of errors recorded by dmesg already if that's helpful | 03:43 |
| ash_worksi | lotuspsychje: is journalctl better? | 03:43 |
| lotuspsychje | ash_worksi: i like it realtime, and focused on what we are doing | 03:44 |
| ash_worksi | dmesg -w seems to be in real time | 03:44 |
| ash_worksi | output looks identical | 03:44 |
| ash_worksi | I might end up pasting the dmesg jsut cause it doesn't show my laptop name | 03:45 |

| lotuspsychje | ash_worksi: as last resort i would try gparted and another Os | 03:52 |
| ash_worksi | "this was not a device"? | 03:52 |
| lotuspsychje | ash_worksi: mtp-probe[9905]: bus: 4, device: 4 was not an MTP device | 03:52 |
| ash_worksi | lotuspsychje: trying gparted | 03:53 |

| ash_worksi | lotuspsychje: gparted error: could not stat /dev/sdb | 03:54 |
| ash_worksi | no such file or directory | 03:54 |
| lotuspsychje | yeah presumed.. | 03:54 |
| ash_worksi | so where is the other data that it *can* discern coming from? | 03:54 |
| lotuspsychje | sorry? | 03:55 |
| ash_worksi | ie: logical blocks: (61.5 GB/57.3 GiB) | 03:55 |
| ash_worksi | doesn't it have to read that from somewhere? | 03:55 |
| ash_worksi | or is that just some catalog on my system that knows this information based on some easily accessible id on the drive that isn't part of the main circuit and I'm just looking at basically a cache? | 03:56 |
| ash_worksi | windows is starting... | 03:58 |

| rfm | Strontium, sure looks like a damaged libuuid.so.1. I suppose the damage could be in the download of the .deb and the reinstall used the cache version. Unfortunately I don't know offhand how to force a fresh download. | 06:28 |
| rfm | Strontium, ah, "apt-get clean" is the command to blow out the caches, apt-get install --reinstall will then download a fresh copy. try that? | 06:30 |
| Strontium | rfm: rm -rf /var/cache/apt/archives/* | 06:30 |
| Strontium | rfm: No change. Its certainly odd. Either manual delete or apt-get clean resulted in the same result. | 06:34 |

| Bomber4Chats | Having trouble getting my headphone's in-built mic to be detected by linux mate on my asus laptop. Details: Linux version 4.15.0-92-generic. driver=snd_hda_intel No errors in journalctl -f when connecting disconnecting device | 06:37 |
| rfm | Strontium, I'm baffled, the only difference I see between your install and my (working) one is you have the i386 libs, which I don't, but which should be irrelevant. | 06:37 |
| rfm | Strontium, I was going to blame the mirror, but I see you're going straight to archive.ubuntu.com. (Unless there's a caching proxy in the way? I've gotten burned there in the past) | 06:38 |
| Strontium | No caching proxy that I have set up. | 06:39 |
| rfm | Strontium, here's the checksum of my version if you want to see if the file really is damaged: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/r7dWnJVhtt/ | 06:42 |
| Strontium | rfm: so far the only noticable problem its causing is the error shows up every time i open a shell (or run uuidgen manually) so it doesn't appear to be reaking my system. Will see what the bug report yields if anything/ | 06:42 |
| rfm | Strontium, ok. i'm off to bed, good luck. (The next thing I would try is seeing if the uuidgen binary is damaged, though I would expect the ldd output to be different if so.) | 06:47 |

| gimmel | Hi all, I've got a bootable Ubuntu USB that I've confirmed works by booting to it on another machine. I'm trying to make an Asus All in One PC boot to it. I've adjusted the BIOS settings to disable secure booth and enable CSM. But whether I configure the USB as the only boot device, or use the BIOS boot override to select the USB, either way it just loops back to the BIOS. Any thoughts? | 10:59 |

| gimmel | EriC^^: It's currently Windows 8.1 - I made the Ubuntu USB within Ubuntu, using Statup Disk Creator | 11:10 |

Ubuntu 19.10 64bit (installed yesterday) is very slow/almost unresponsive when GPU VRAM usage is maxed out (e.g. when running hashmap, folding@home, stress tests like Unigine Superposition).

| howudodat | having a weird problem on ubuntu 19.10 running on a dell laptop. when I click on a window's title bar it wont come to the fore. I have disabled all extensions. and I have set focus-mode to something other than the default 'click' and then set it back. This has been happening for about a month or so | 12:54 |
| ioria | howudodat, have you checked in gnome-tweaks ? or just used gsettings ? | 13:02 |
| howudodat | ioria: yes I have looked through both and not found anything in particular, of course there are 10k settings in gsettings/dconf | 13:12 |
| oerheks | rename ~/.config and logout/login to see what happens? | 13:14 |
| ioria | howudodat, let's start with this : gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences focus-mode | 13:14 |
| howudodat | 'click' | 13:15 |
| ioria | howudodat, let's start with this : gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences focus-new-windows | 13:15 |

| howudodat | ioria: done | 13:19 |
| howudodat | btw: yesterday when I set focus-mode to X and then back to 'click' it worked for a while (5-10 minutes) and then stopped again. I'll see if this last change helps | 13:20 |

| tim23423424 | hello everyone - I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 on a ThinkPad P50 with I think an Nvidia GPU. Yesterday my external monitor (an LG plugged in with HDMI) worked fine, and then after doing an apt update/upgrade I rebooted and am having some weird issues where screen refresh seems to be quite messed up, but only when the Desktop is visible. It looks like the desktop background isn't being drawn except for the top left corner (and my deskt | 14:24 |
| tim23423424 | round image fits into that smaller top left corner). I also deleted ~/.config/monitors.xml -- before I did that my monitor wasn't appearing at all and the Displays part of Settings was seeing the monitor but telling me "for hardware reasons" it wasn't working | 14:24 |
| oerheks | hi tim23423424 until release, support in #ubuntu+1 please | 14:25 |
| oerheks | to keep beta bugs concentrated | 14:25 |

| pragmaticenigma | yes | 14:37 |
| oerheks | egrep does, i think, understand egrep 'foo|bar' *.txt | 14:37 |
| pragmaticenigma | oerheks: egrep is just a shortcut to grep -E | 14:37 |

| pragmaticenigma | _alx_: I don't think that will work, but you can try it. I think "$" will only signify the end of line, at the end of the expression | 14:43 |
| _alx_ | pragmaticenigma: it seems to work on regexr, but I guess I won't know till I try :D | 14:43 |
| _alx_ | pragmaticenigma: it looks like it worked: i'm doing %!grep -vi …. in vim and it reduced my file list to only have the files ending with the extension I was interested in | 14:45 |
| _alx_ | YES! it worked, it was important to add the $ because some files end in .sib.pdf | 14:46 |

| ioria | howudodat, yeah; is it affected only the title bar or the entire window ? | 16:06 |
| howudodat | ioria: I thought it was only the title bar, but it also seems to affect the rest of the window. I can see that the main window loses it's focus and the other gains it, it just doesn't come to the top | 16:07 |
| ioria | howudodat, as far as i understand, you want an auto-rise of the focused window ? | 16:15 |

| TomyWork | I'm using a logitech g933 headset on linux. works out of the box, but the sound is thin, as if the DSP was off | 16:32 |
| TomyWork | sounds like on windows before the logitech gaming software initializes it. any idea if that can be helped? | 16:33 |
| Zajt | alright I see, thanks pragmaticenigma | 16:34 |
| pragmaticenigma | TomyWork: sounds like there is a proprietary driver involved there... don't think there is much anyone can do here | 16:34 |

| TomyWork | nah, unfortunately not | 16:41 |
| TomyWork | https://github.com/Sapd/HeadsetControl there's this, which actually tells me the battery level and presumably also sets sidetone (no idea how to test it), but it doesn't enable the DSP, unfortunately | 16:43 |

| irrationaljessy | hey, firefox runs super slow, and results in my whole pc running slowly (even under light load). It's the only app to do this. Is there anyway I can find out what's going wrong? | 16:52 |
| pragmaticenigma | TomyWork: I saw some stuff in there on checking if the profile is setup correctly | 16:52 |
| pragmaticenigma | irrationaljessy: look for extensions being installed in firefox that you don't remember installing or don't need anymore | 16:53 |

| IntelCore | hi, grub will load, and ubuntu works, but sda2 is red in gparted. can that get rebuild, or fixed? | 16:54 |
| IntelCore | because Win10 wont boot | 16:54 |

| IntelCore | no.. I an using the pc now | 16:55 |

| pragmaticenigma | monojamoon|: better approach is to put a link in one of the /bin folders... ideally ~/.local/bin | 17:11 |
| monojamoon| | @pavlos, and if I want to append another executable into the path. An executable with a different path than /opt/wine-stable/bin | 17:11 |

| oerheks | dont-panic, it happens after boot, pretty normal | 21:48 |
| dont-panic | oerheks: you also did not read. I'm not asking if its normal, I'm wondering if its a bug that will also be in 20.04. I do not see auto updates as a feature. | 21:49 |
| tomreyn | dont-panic: for a matter of fact EOL releases aren't supported here, though. | 21:49 |
| oerheks | basicly, *if* you want to install something, one should be fully updated. you can turn it off. | 21:49 |
| dont-panic | tomreyn: I didn't ask about support, I asked an OS question. | 21:50 |
| dont-panic | tomreyn: for 20.04, not for 19.04 | 21:50 |

| JimBuntu | yes, AFTER 16.04 | 21:53 |
| pnwise | might have been before that, but I did not noticed it | 21:53 |
| pnwise | ...and you can also disable it | 21:54 |
| EriC^ | i think it used to require a password input, maybe not anymore? | 21:54 |

| oerheks | jups, sometimes inconveniant.. but helpfull | 21:54 |
| pnwise | well not the rolling release ones | 21:54 |
| JimBuntu | EriC^: it used to bring up a notice and allow you to apply them or not | 21:54 |
| pnwise | nah it just runs in the background | 21:54 |
| pnwise | tbh it could be annoying | 21:54 |
| EriC^ | it sometimes is, it's easy to disable though | 21:55 |
| pnwise | sometimes when I have not turned on my laptop for a long time and I want to do something fast coulf be pita | 21:55 |
| pauljw | it's annoying when you have data caps | 21:55 |
| pnwise | yeah agree - never was enough of a problem to bother disabling it | 21:55 |
| EriC^ | or when you just need to install something and it's on a update quest in the background, no apt til its done | 21:55 |
| tomreyn | pauljw: does updating still happen when you have your connection set to limit background data? | 21:56 |
| pauljw | yep | 21:56 |
| pauljw | don't know tomreyn, i just disable auto updates and do them manually before 8am. | 21:56 |

| amazoniantoad | thanks EriC^ | 22:00 |
| EriC^ | no problem amazoniantoad | 22:00 |
| tomreyn | other reasons why hibernation wouldn't work are no or not enough active / usable swap space, a swap file rather than a swap partition in combination with some file systems (btrfs subvolumes and zfs, IIRC) | 22:02 |
| sixwheeledbeast | Are you sure it's hibernate and not sleep? I don't believe hibernate is used as default due to the potential of a hardware issue | 22:02 |
| r3dux | Hello, can I ask for help on this channel or is there a specific ubuntu help channel? | 22:02 |
| sc0utonlinux | For the sleep problem could it not just simply be the "energy saving" settings ? | 22:03 |
| sixwheeledbeast | hibernate should store to disk and sleep/suspend would store to RAM | 22:03 |
| oerheks | r3dux, ask, wait and see :-) | 22:03 |
| tomreyn | !support | r3dux | 22:04 |
| ubottu | r3dux: The official ubuntu support channel is #ubuntu. Also see http://ubuntu.com/support and http://ubuntuforums.org and http://askubuntu.com | 22:04 |
| sixwheeledbeast | Also yes it could just be that the settings are set not to suspend on lid close and the screensaver is active or the like | 22:04 |
| amazoniantoad | EriC^: it worked. Thanks | 22:05 |
| amazoniantoad | I have another issue now. I cannot control the brightness of my screen. Can someone help me figure out this issue? | 22:05 |

| r3dux | Hello family! I have a surface book 2 in which I have removed windows 10 and replaced it with linux. I would also like to get rid of windows boot manager so when i restart my machine I am not greeted with a windows logo or the secure boot lock. I have to use a specific kernel for my hardware and dont want to have to sign everything to make secure boot happy. Can I get rid of windows boot manager? | 22:08 |
| amazoniantoad | tomreyn: well the solution provided to me did not solve the brightness issue. | 22:08 |
| amazoniantoad | What should I do? | 22:08 |
| amazoniantoad | r3dux: you could just disable secure boot, right? I get if you don't want to do that though | 22:09 |
| tomreyn | amazoniantoad: what's the change you made while enacting the solution that was provided to you? | 22:09 |
| amazoniantoad | tomreyn: I simply ran the following script: http://iam.tj/prototype/enhancements/acpi_osi.sh | 22:09 |
| r3dux | amazoniantoad: secure boot is disabled. It has to be disabled to work with the unsigned kernal I use. | 22:09 |
| oerheks | surface book 2 .. ouch | 22:09 |
| tomreyn | amazoniantoad: did you reboot since? | 22:10 |
| amazoniantoad | tomreyn: yes | 22:10 |
| r3dux | I have tried to go about signing it but can never see to figure it out. I think id need some hand holding to complete that. | 22:10 |
| tomreyn | oh okay. so cat /proc/cmdline will tell which options were set. | 22:10 |

| r3dux | oerheks: So I have to keep windows boot manager? Is there a way I can hide it from displaying at startup like is possible with grub? | 22:13 |
| tomreyn | amazoniantoad: hmm, then you may need to review the system log for what happens when you press those keys, as well as for the acpi initialization during boot, to get a better idea of why they don't work. finally, you could also use "xev" to get the key scan codes that need to be handled and work from there. | 22:13 |
| pnwise | did you try detecting the keys with acpi_list | 22:13 |
| pnwise | I had to switch to that for my new laptop | 22:13 |

| amazoniantoad | Oh sorry. pnwise asked if I tried detecting the keys with acpi_list. And I was asking you about how to execute the event tester, but I realized you were providing me with the command | 22:15 |
| tomreyn | xev is just X events, acpi events should be handled directly by the kernel (and potentially systemd) ideally. | 22:16 |
| amazoniantoad | I see | 22:17 |
| tomreyn | but you could assign X events as a fallback. solving it on the ACPI/kernel level would be the better approach, though, and pnwise's suggestion points towards that | 22:17 |
| pnwise | amazoniantoad, https://ivan.reallusiondesign.com/i3wm-brightness-control-on-t480s/ | 22:18 |
| pnwise | somethin like this | 22:18 |
| pnwise | but I think the command there is wrong | 22:19 |
| pnwise | I think it was acpi_listen | 22:19 |
| pnwise | if you are not detecting the keys with xev | 22:19 |
| pnwise | it is acpi event | 22:19 |
| amazoniantoad | pnwise: thanks. I'm reading the page now | 22:20 |
| pnwise | np, also seems you might be able to use different way to control the brightness | 22:22 |
| === skookum2 is now known as skookum | ||
| pnwise | not sure if yours will be in /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness | 22:22 |
| pnwise | might be elsewhere, for sure will be elsewhere if you are having zenbook with amd | 22:22 |
| amazoniantoad | pnwise: acpi_list is a command not found | 22:22 |
| tomreyn | https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/en/man8/acpi_listen.8.html is part of the "acpid" package. | 22:23 |
| amazoniantoad | Oh I see | 22:23 |
| amazoniantoad | lol, thanks guys | 22:23 |
| tomreyn | but then acpi control has since been handed over to systemd, so i'm not actually sure this will still work. worth a try, though. | 22:23 |
| tomreyn | or maybe not, hmm, i'm unsure | 22:24 |
| tomreyn | so acpid and acpi-support are still installed by default on desktops. so i guess systemd only handles some of the calls and putting the system to sleep / hibernation | 22:28 |
| forgotmynick | is it "safe" to mount an lxc volume on the host machine while the container is running to back it up? | 22:30 |
| amazoniantoad | tomreyn: it didn't work :< | 22:38 |
| amazoniantoad | I'm using my traditional buttons to trigger the brightness change, though | 22:39 |
| === skookum2 is now known as skookum | ||
| amazoniantoad | tomreyn: the bash scripts themselves don't work either | 22:41 |
| Traca | Hello | 22:42 |
| tomreyn | amazoniantoad: okay, i haven't used acpi_listen since years ago. i'd start with system logs. | 22:43 |
| amazoniantoad | thanks | 22:43 |
| tomreyn | hi Traca | 22:43 |
| tomreyn | forgotmynick: https://serverfault.com/questions/513573/accessing-lxc-containers-filesystem-from-host | 22:45 |
| pnwise | amazoniantoad, keys are either detected with xev or acpi_listen | 22:46 |
| pnwise | so should start from there I think | 22:46 |
| amazoniantoad | pnwise: the keys are being detected. The script just doesn't work | 22:46 |
| pnwise | I told you your brightness is probably somewhere else | 22:46 |
| pnwise | this is for intel intergated gpus | 22:46 |
| amazoniantoad | Oh | 22:47 |
| pnwise | ls -lha /sys/class/backlight/ | 22:47 |
| pnwise | what does it show | 22:47 |
| pnwise | if anything at all | 22:47 |
| amazoniantoad | intel_backlight -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/drm/card0/card0-eDP-1/intel_backlight | 22:47 |
| pnwise | cat /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness | 22:48 |
| pnwise | does it give some number? | 22:48 |
| amazoniantoad | yes | 22:48 |
| pnwise | what is? | 22:48 |
| amazoniantoad | 3661 | 22:48 |
| pnwise | sudo echo 3361 > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness | 22:49 |
| pnwise | should lower it | 22:49 |
| pnwise | hm maybe I gave you too low of a number | 22:49 |
| pnwise | try 3561 | 22:49 |
| amazoniantoad | it says permission denined...using sudo though | 22:50 |
| pnwise | then do sudo -i | 22:50 |
| Jordan_U | pnwise: That will run "echo" as root, while bash (running as the user) will try to write to /sys/. | 22:50 |
| Jordan_U | amazoniantoad: pnwise: No need for sudo -i... | 22:50 |
| sc0utonlinux | what VM is best for Ubuntu ? | 22:50 |
| pnwise | and run the command without sudo | 22:50 |
| amazoniantoad | sc0utonlinux: depends on your intentions and hardware | 22:50 |
| pnwise | kk Jordan_U will help you out | 22:50 |
| amazoniantoad | thanks pnwise Jordan_U so what should I do? | 22:51 |
| Jordan_U | amazoniantoad: pnwise: echo 3561 | sudo tee /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness | 22:51 |
| amazoniantoad | Okay | 22:51 |
| amazoniantoad | Nothing happened? | 22:51 |
| amazoniantoad | Should I lower it more? | 22:51 |
| Jordan_U | pnwise: That runs echo as the normal user, but pipes the output to tee running as root. Since it's tee that's writing the file, and tee is running as root, it works as intended. | 22:51 |
| sc0utonlinux | amazoniantoad: Windows - photoshop and stability | 22:52 |
| pnwise | idk man ask Jordan_U | 22:52 |
| amazoniantoad | sc0utonlinux: there is gimp for ubuntu...There are different types of virtualization. One in which all vm's are running directly on the hardware. and one in which all vm's are running directly within a host OS (in your case windows) | 22:53 |
| amazoniantoad | So I'm assuming you want to run all vm's inside of windows, yes? | 22:53 |
| amazoniantoad | Jordan_U: nothing happened | 22:57 |
| === skookum8 is now known as skookum | ||
| glestrade | hi again all | 22:59 |
| sc0utonlinux | amazoniantoad: my host os is Ubuntu | 22:59 |
| sc0utonlinux | I want to run windows in a window on Ubuntu | 22:59 |
| Jordan_U | amazoniantoad: What is the output of "cat /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/drm/card0/card0-eDP-1/intel_backlight" ? | 22:59 |
| sc0utonlinux | I'm not sure if that is what you are saying | 22:59 |
| sc0utonlinux | forgive my noobyness | 22:59 |
| amazoniantoad | sc0utonlinux: You should look at either vmware or virtualbox. Virtualbox is free. vmware and virtualbox are equal in their usability and functionality | 23:00 |
| Ben64 | or libvirt | 23:00 |
| amazoniantoad | Other options are kinda out of your range, like xen or libvirt | 23:00 |
| Ben64 | :| | 23:00 |
| glestrade | I got grub to work last time via a stack overflow answer | 23:00 |
| amazoniantoad | Ben64: he's not capable of that | 23:00 |
| amazoniantoad | He's new | 23:00 |
| Ben64 | why not? it's easy | 23:00 |
| amazoniantoad | Let him understand the fundamentals of virtualization before that | 23:00 |
| Ben64 | you don't have to understand it | 23:00 |
| Ben64 | you press button and it works | 23:00 |
| amazoniantoad | He could break his computer. Oh you mean the gui? | 23:01 |
| amazoniantoad | I forget it has a gui... | 23:01 |
| amazoniantoad | sorry | 23:01 |
| amazoniantoad | I still say virtualbox is his best bet | 23:01 |
| glestrade | i have another question | 23:01 |
| Ben64 | vbox is pretty meh | 23:01 |
| amazoniantoad | Jordan_U: No such file or directory | 23:01 |
| amazoniantoad | Ben64: you're being elitist. sc0utonlinux go watch a video showing the difference between the two. I'm sure you will choose virtualbox over libvirt. | 23:02 |
| Ben64 | elitist? lol | 23:02 |
| forgotmynick | you the man tomreyn | 23:02 |
| amazoniantoad | there's no reason for him to dive into libvirt other than it being harder for him | 23:02 |
| Ben64 | i used virtualbox for years, it works, but libvirt works better | 23:03 |
| glestrade | guys let’s not scold linux people about elitism. it’s like a siren song for arch users :P | 23:03 |
| sc0utonlinux | I aprecaite both of your inputs | 23:03 |
| Ben64 | so if elitist means choosing the superior option... | 23:03 |
| amazoniantoad | Under the hood it works better, but he doesn't need that. | 23:03 |
| oerheks | KVM for the win | 23:03 |
| amazoniantoad | sc0utonlinux: use either virtualbox or vmware. You are not capable of the other options right now. Or the options have poor interfaces (like libvirt) | 23:04 |
| amazoniantoad | hehe | 23:04 |
| Ben64 | sc0utonlinux: you're definitely capable of using libvirt | 23:04 |
| amazoniantoad | He doesn't even understand virtualization... | 23:04 |
| sc0utonlinux | I've had virtual box crash on me a few times .. and in the software manager it's only version 5.3 .. where as on the website its 6+ .I'm wondering which VM is most stable. | 23:04 |
| Ben64 | you don't need to understand it! | 23:04 |
| amazoniantoad | Ben64: then he shouldn't use it | 23:04 |
| glestrade | my question: if I go visit a package repository that has a ppa | 23:05 |
| amazoniantoad | Don't use a car unless you know the basics | 23:05 |
| Ben64 | that's dumb | 23:05 |
| Ben64 | most people don't know how a car works and drive fine | 23:05 |
| amazoniantoad | Knowing how something operates before you operate it is dumb? | 23:05 |
| glestrade | can I presumably get an old version | 23:05 |
| sc0utonlinux | I had not heard of libvirt .. I will do what you say watch a few videos and read about both | 23:05 |
| amazoniantoad | sc0utonlinux: vmware is a paid alternative to virtualbox with a free client | 23:05 |
| sc0utonlinux | Please don't fight .. :°) i apreciate both of your help :D and advice | 23:06 |
| glestrade | several times when I’ve needed to do something new I surprised myself | 23:06 |
| Ben64 | file -> new virtual machine | 23:06 |
| Ben64 | i don't see how that's hard? | 23:06 |
| glestrade | like I put on a spare tire. didn’t think I could do that | 23:06 |
| Ben64 | then you pick the installation media and you're up and running, ez pz | 23:06 |
| amazoniantoad | I guess we will find out which one is superior...sc0utonlinux | 23:07 |
| amazoniantoad | Come back and tell us what you choose | 23:07 |
| amazoniantoad | We should bet some money on this, Ben64 | 23:07 |
| Ben64 | what's your deal | 23:07 |
| amazoniantoad | I'm just being silly | 23:07 |
| Ben64 | i know, why | 23:07 |
| amazoniantoad | I'm bored? Is being silly a bad thing to do? I'm waiting for Jordan_U to help me | 23:08 |
| glestrade | guess I’ll have to ask my ppa question later haha | 23:08 |
| Jordan_U | amazoniantoad: ls /sys/class/backlight/ | 23:08 |
| glestrade | it’s getting crowded in here | 23:08 |
| Ben64 | amazoniantoad: well it'd be great if you weren't misleading | 23:08 |
| amazoniantoad | Jordan_U: intel_backlight | 23:08 |
| amazoniantoad | Ben64: misleading because you don | 23:08 |
| amazoniantoad | don't agree* | 23:08 |
| amazoniantoad | That's the same as calling me a troll | 23:09 |
| oerheks | pretty good tutor for backlights.. https://itsfoss.com/fix-brightness-ubuntu-1310/ | 23:09 |
| Ben64 | well if the bridge fits | 23:09 |
| oerheks | 1310 is a typo of the author | 23:09 |
| amazoniantoad | Annnd here is where I won everyone | 23:09 |
| oerheks | glestrade, just ask, more fun | 23:10 |
| amazoniantoad | He name called me, I won | 23:10 |
| amazoniantoad | oerheks: thanks | 23:10 |
| glestrade | oerheks: I just want a version of timeshift for ubuntu 14.04 | 23:10 |
| kostkon | glestrade, a specific version? | 23:11 |
| glestrade | I would assume so | 23:11 |
| glestrade | I can’t accidentally update the compiler | 23:11 |
| glestrade | because the package I’m compiling is picky | 23:11 |
| oerheks | ubuntu got a sort of timeshift buildin, redshift/ | 23:12 |
| glestrade | (c compiler) | 23:12 |
| glestrade | will google that | 23:12 |
| oerheks | or do you mean timeshift/systemrestore? | 23:13 |
| glestrade | well since I hardly know the difference between those three, I couldn’t exactly say | 23:15 |
| glestrade | i want to be able to go backwards if I screw up this thing | 23:15 |
| oerheks | https://github.com/teejee2008/timeshift | 23:15 |
| glestrade | it’s got steps where it makes me change the firmware lol | 23:15 |
| amazoniantoad | oerheks: didn't work :/ | 23:16 |
| Bashing-om | glestrade: https://www.tecmint.com/rear-backup-and-recover-a-linux-system/ - have not used so can not vouch but looks interesting. | 23:17 |
| oerheks | amazoniantoad, i think you need to reboot for this to take effect? | 23:20 |
| amazoniantoad | oerheks: I did. All it accomplished was warping my screen | 23:20 |
| glestrade | by the way, as a macbook owner I’m clearly the least elitist person here :P | 23:20 |
| amazoniantoad | So I deleted the file | 23:20 |
| glestrade | but OS/2 is actually the best OS xD | 23:21 |
| glestrade | i’m kidding of course | 23:24 |
| amazoniantoad | I actually appreciate osx. It's not horribad like, redhat. | 23:24 |
| glestrade | eh I only like os x’s gui tbh | 23:25 |
| glestrade | just need a distro to steal it | 23:25 |
| glestrade | tbh I don’t mind red hat | 23:26 |
| glestrade | but apple trackpads are buttery smooth | 23:26 |
| amazoniantoad | Yes they are. I customized my macbook a few years ago by punching some dints in its pretty case. | 23:26 |
| aodsnasion | Hi guys, trying to 'sudo apt update' a new-installed ubuntu 16.10 x64 system | 23:28 |
| aodsnasion | And im getting these kind of errors: | 23:29 |
| aodsnasion | E: The repository 'http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu yakkety Release' does no longer have a Release file.N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details. | 23:29 |
| kk4ewt | yes becasue its EOL aka its Dead JIm | 23:29 |
| kostkon | !yakkety | 23:31 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu Ubuntu 16.10 (Yakkety Yak) was the 25th release of Ubuntu. Support ended on July 20th, 2017. See !eol and https://ubottu.com/y/yakkety | 23:31 |
| robertparkerx | it's better to add another user to the group rather than add two users chown | 23:46 |
| robertparkerx | or what do you do rather in that situation | 23:46 |
| robertparkerx | where i want to allow www-data:www-data and also winscp: user I created | 23:47 |
| oerheks | with 2 users, chown is useless. | 23:49 |
| oerheks | so, a group is the solution, yes. | 23:49 |
| robertparkerx | so I add winscp to www-data group? | 23:50 |
| oerheks | correct | 23:50 |
| oerheks | sudo usermod -aG www-data $USER ( or in your case winscp) | 23:52 |
| robertparkerx | I still get permission denied | 23:54 |
| robertparkerx | if I change it to 777 it will upload | 23:55 |
| robertparkerx | oh wait if I enter 'groups' www-data doesn't show up | 23:55 |
| robertparkerx | is that strange? | 23:55 |
| oerheks | if one adds a user ot a group, logout/login to let it take effect | 23:57 |
| oerheks | i don't know a short route | 23:58 |
| robertparkerx | I needed 775 not 755 | 23:59 |
