[00:08] <codelion> sweet, updating fstab did the trick
[00:09] <Extreminador> is it possible to turn off the password protection off for a session or for 1 hour or something?
[00:09] <codelion> thanks Jordan_U
[00:09] <codelion> can't believe I didn't think to update fstab /facepalm/
[00:10] <daftykins> i figured GRUB wasn't even installed :)
[00:10] <daftykins> Extreminador: why? you can just switch with 'sudo -i'
[00:10] <codelion> It was getting past grub, then sitting at a flashing underbar
[00:10] <daftykins> ah ok
[00:11] <Extreminador> reaaly ty
[00:11] <codelion> which I suppose I should have recognized as a bad fstab, since I've seen it before
[00:11] <Extreminador> did not know about it
[00:11] <codelion> sometimes I forget how to computer
[00:12] <Extreminador> daftykins you sure... ?
[00:12] <daftykins> sure about what
[00:12] <Extreminador> did made sudo -i and it just changed the root user prefix
[00:12] <codelion> ugh, pulled my old drive and now I get a grub rescue menu
[00:12] <daftykins> yeah i figured you wanted to perform multiple tasks without sudo auth dropping, Extreminador
[00:13] <daftykins> you may need to rephrase if not
[00:13] <Extreminador> well that is handy indeed as well
[00:13] <Extreminador> i have password protction on and evrey 2 minutos (the time i placed) it's asking for the password
[00:14] <sebastian_> hi all somewone has some knowlage in the ipv6 + ipv4 name resoluion aka getaddrinfo ?
[00:14] <Extreminador> would like to tunr that off temporary just for this session or for 1 hours or something
[00:14] <daftykins> what kind of password protection...
[00:15] <Extreminador> desktop password protection when nothing happend's
[00:15] <Extreminador> not sure the correct name of this
[00:15] <daftykins> sorry i don't understand at all
[00:15] <I-Am-Groot> gordonjcp,
[00:15] <tomreyn> hi sebastian_. what's your actual question?
[00:16] <sebastian_> tomreyn: getaddrinfo takes 20 seconds for every host that is accesable via ipv4 and ipv6. this also affects programs like sudo
[00:16] <tomreyn> sebastian_: resolver issues?
[00:16] <codelion> So I've booted into my SSD
[00:16] <codelion> but if I pull the original drive, it drops to grub rescue on boot
[00:16] <codelion> how do I remove the old grub entry
[00:17] <sebastian_> tomreyn: ive disabled my local resolver
[00:17] <tomreyn> sebastian_: check whether your name server works fine, using dig
[00:17] <I-Am-Groot> Okay... So earlier i was suggested to do a fresh install of ubuntu in order to stop my system from Crashing. So i wiped my whole ubuntu partition and installed a 64bit version of Ubuntu 14.04.3
[00:17] <daftykins> Extreminador: screen lock maybe? like a screensaver?
[00:17] <Extreminador> daftykins yess that
[00:17] <sebastian_> tomreyn: ipv6 lookup is fast
[00:17] <sebastian_> tomreyn: ipv4 also
[00:17] <thompenn> apologies for the n00b question, but I am having frequent X crashes (screen locks up, mouse won't move, can't switch to a different virtual terminal). what logs should I look in to try to debug the issue?
[00:17] <Extreminador> i have that set for evre 2 min to go to the session menu and ask again for the password
[00:17] <tomreyn> sebastian_: anything in dmesg?
[00:17] <daftykins> Extreminador: err only idea i can think is changing it to never in display/power options
[00:17] <sebastian_> tomreyn: "host" is also fast
[00:18] <Extreminador> yehh that what i thought ty
[00:18] <I-Am-Groot> Before that, i was told to use the command "dpkg -l > installed.txt" to make a list of all my installed programs so that i can use "dpkg --set-selections < installed.txt" to reinstall them
[00:18] <daftykins> thompenn: assuming the system is stable, i.e. memtest and CPU, i'd check the SMART info of your hard disk in case it's causing issues - or maybe graphics drivers could play a part - /var/log/Xorg.0.log would show X crash info to some extent
[00:18] <sebastian_> tomreyn: dmesg is silent
[00:19] <I-Am-Groot> But when i enter "dpkg --set-selections < installed.txt", i get an error
[00:19] <daftykins> I-Am-Groot: that should've been "dpkg --get-selections > file"
[00:19] <daftykins> not sure if that matters.
[00:19] <daftykins> sounds like it does
[00:19] <I-Am-Groot> daftykins, Okay
[00:20] <sebastian_> tomreyn: I've a small demo pogram and getaddrinfo is hanging is libc -> make_request
[00:20] <tomreyn> sebastian_: is the system time correct? is this a guest system in a virtualization environment?
[00:20] <I-Am-Groot> I get this error when i do the command dpkg: error: unexpected end of line in package name at line 1
[00:20] <sebastian_> tomreyn: a laptop with correct time
[00:20] <thompenn> I didn't notice anything that jumped out at me in Xorg.0.log but then I don't really know what I'm looking for
[00:20] <daftykins> thompenn: it'd be very far down, you can pastebin the whole file.
[00:21] <daftykins> thompenn: sudo apt install pastebinit && pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[00:21] <sebastian_> tomreyn: also wireshark showed yesterday, that the dns packets are sent and recieved quite fast
[00:21] <I-Am-Groot> Is there something i can do?
[00:21] <tomreyn> sebastian_: has it always been this way? if not, what changed between the ok and the problem state?
[00:22] <Bashing-om> I-Am-Groot: That is hust a text file , open it in a text editor .. what does it look like .. particularly line 1's end .
[00:22] <sebastian_> tomreyn: the "ok" state was the kubuntu live cd
[00:22] <thompenn> http://paste.ubuntu.com/14453801/
[00:22] <tomreyn> sebastian_: and you had the same issues before and after that?
[00:23] <tomreyn> sebastian_: i.e. whenever you run form the 'default' system, i guess?
[00:23] <tomreyn> ignore 'form'
[00:23] <sebastian_> tomreyn: this is a new laptop (acer aspire v 15 nitro) I've installed kubuntu yesterday. I have this problem since then
[00:23] <daftykins> thompenn: nothing showing up there, probably because it hasn't happened this boot?
[00:23] <thompenn> daftykins: doesn't Xorg.0.log get overwritten each x session
[00:23] <thompenn> yeah
[00:24] <daftykins> sorry i should've thought of that
[00:24] <thompenn> I have one that I got from a 'recovery mode' root shell
[00:24] <sebastian_> tomreyn: I never started the installer cd since then
[00:24] <tomreyn> sebastian_: which laptop, which ubuntu version?
[00:24] <daftykins> thompenn: there's a Xorg.1.log too but that'd only be one run back
[00:24] <Anthaas> Hi - wtf is folder.gt.tar.gz
[00:24] <tomreyn> sebastian_: sorry you just said #1
[00:24] <Anthaas> Ive never seen the .gt before
[00:24] <sebastian_> tomreyn: 15.10
[00:24] <I-Am-Groot> Bashing-om, I am trying to share the contents of the file via pastebin, but they are telling me i have exceeded the file limit
[00:25] <daftykins> Anthaas: inappropriate language for the channel. looks like just a name is all. run "file" against it.
[00:25] <sebastian_> tomreyn: 15.10 is too old for my nvidia graphics card and my wifi card, but that is not my main issue
[00:25] <tomreyn> sebastian_: check syslog for issues during boot, try a bios update
[00:25] <Anthaas> daftykins, sorry, I didnt realise initialisms like that weren't allowed. Most places with language rules allow them. Sorry.
[00:25] <I-Am-Groot> Bashing-om, I am installing pastebinit..hold on
[00:25] <sebastian_> tomreyn: bios update for a dns resolving issue? wired.
[00:26] <daftykins> Anthaas: np
[00:26] <Bashing-om> I-Am-Groot: Pastebin is good choice, there is also <command> | nc termbin.com 9999 .
[00:26] <daftykins> tomreyn: yeah that's a stretch... BIOS updates are not without risk
[00:26] <tomreyn> sebastian_: bios update for a laptop which has new hardware which you say 15.10 doesn't work well with, yet, since not new enough
[00:26] <sebastian_> tomreyn: the syslog is full of errors from my ath10k: failed to enable dynamic BW: -11
[00:26] <akik> sebastian_: can you run strace on the process when it's having the 20 second timeout? is it only getaddrinfo you see
[00:27] <sebastian_> akik: yep
[00:27] <Anthaas> daftykins, Wasn't aware of "file". You are right, just a name. Guess you can't trust people to follow even simple instructions haha.
[00:27] <Dumle29> installing ubuntu on a vm. It's stuck at ubuntu finish-install: Dosabling CD in sources.list
[00:27] <sebastian_> akik: ah strace, let me chek
[00:27] <daftykins> Anthaas: sadly nope :( every time i write guides for people they get ignored
[00:28] <thompenn> daftykins: this log mentions the power button at the end, which is how I have to restart.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/14453816/
[00:29] <sebastian_> akik: strace is silent, no call is taking so long
[00:29] <codelion> if you have kgdb or kernel tracepoints installed, that might let you know why the syscall is taking so long
[00:29] <sebastian_> akik: but ltrace shows a 20 sec delay in getaddrinfo
[00:30] <daftykins> thompenn: nope nothing useful either ; does this system use a mechanical HDD?
[00:30] <I-Am-Groot> daftykins, Bashing-om Here is the first few lines from the file http://pastebin.com/Uy3Lem3W
[00:30] <Jordan_U> codelion: Did you actually follow the guide that I linked to for installing grub via chroot?
[00:30] <thompenn> ssd
[00:30] <codelion> I had already done most of that Jordan_U
[00:30] <Bashing-om> I-Am-Groot: look'n .
[00:31] <Jordan_U> codelion: I didn't ask you to do only most of it. Did you ever run grub-install?
[00:31] <codelion> yes
[00:31] <codelion> I did
[00:31] <daftykins> thompenn: ok not disk health related then most likely, do you tend to be using video in a browser when it locks, or is it more unpredictable?
[00:31] <codelion> my system is fixed now
[00:31] <thompenn> unpredictable
[00:31] <I-Am-Groot> Okay
[00:32] <thompenn> it does seem to happen more after periods of inactivity but that might be in my head
[00:32] <sebastian_> akik: tomreyn: the last line before the hang in strace is -> sendto(3, "\24\0\0\0\26\0\1\3p\246\221V\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 20, 0, {sa_family=AF_NETLINK, pid=0, groups=00000000}, 12
[00:32] <thompenn> how might I go about testing memory?
[00:32] <daftykins> thompenn: boot a memtest86+ ISO
[00:32] <Jordan_U> CptRageToaster: So this problem, "16:16 < codelion> So I've booted into my SSD.  but if I pull the original drive, it drops to grub rescue on boot" is no longer happening?
[00:32] <dbarros> how to reset all unity fonts to default in ubuntu
[00:32] <daftykins> if you have an EFI system you may need to switch to legacy to do it
[00:32] <cookta2012> ok it is something on my end because i even rolled the server back and it wont take mthe connection thanx guys
[00:32] <codelion> Jordan_U: yeah I was able to fix it by removing and reinstalling grub
[00:33] <Bashing-om> I-Am-Groot: That IS NOT an output from " dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages " .
[00:33] <codelion> sudo apt-get purge grub-pc grub-pc-bin; sudo apt-get install grub-pc grub-pc-bin
[00:34] <SonikkuAmerica> !15.04
[00:34] <I-Am-Groot> Wait what??
[00:34] <thompenn> daftykins: I will have to try that (memtest). any other logs I should look at?
[00:35] <I-Am-Groot> Hold on. Here http://pastebin.com/GFedSdKb
[00:35] <daftykins> thompenn: nothing really comes to mind, "dmesg | tail" after a crash maybe
[00:36] <thompenn> cool, thanks for your help!
[00:36] <daftykins> np
[00:36] <Bashing-om> I-Am-Groot: An examle of the file from my system : http://paste.ubuntu.com/14453888/ .
[00:36] <codelion> if you're getting a kernel panic, /sys/fs/pstore/console-ramoops
[00:36] <codelion> iirc for modern kernel
[00:37] <I-Am-Groot> Bashing-om, Well that explains why it didnt work
[00:37] <Bashing-om> I-Am-Groot: Uh Huh ..
[00:38] <I-Am-Groot> But i used the command "dpkg -l > installed.txt"
[00:38] <I-Am-Groot> And that was the output
[00:39] <I-Am-Groot> I just tried it again and got the same output
[00:39] <Bashing-om> I-Am-Groot: And, you got just what you ask for .. should have been ' dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages ' for the desired result .
[00:39] <I-Am-Groot> What am i doing wrong?? :|
[00:40] <daftykins> I-Am-Groot: so you no longer have access to the original install to get your package list from, is it?
[00:40] <I-Am-Groot> OOhhh i see... Must have slipped the guys who helped me earlier
[00:40] <I-Am-Groot> daftykins, no i dont. I wiped that installation
[00:41] <daftykins> i don't really see a critical nature to just a package list to be honest
[00:41] <daftykins> just install things as you use them
[00:41] <I-Am-Groot> Unless these list are stored in the home folder which i backed up and have restored
[00:41] <daftykins> don't think so, no
[00:42] <akik> sebastian_: can you try adding "options single-request" to resolv.conf? try if that makes any difference
[00:42] <I-Am-Groot> Hmmmm...i would have to install them one by one then
[00:42] <daftykins> no?
[00:42] <I-Am-Groot> I dont think i would remember all of them :|
[00:42] <daftykins> why would you need to? just install them as you use them
[00:42] <I-Am-Groot> Yea..i guess thats how its gonna be
[00:43] <daftykins> i mean i didn't see your list file, did that actually state the package names anywhere?
[00:43] <sue> hi there thank you for fixing my pc last night. now I have a new problem, windows xp virtual machine won't open up
[00:43] <daftykins> sue: nobody should be using XP for any reason anymore. what virtualisation technology is this?
[00:43] <sebastian_> akik: do I need to restart something?
[00:43] <Bashing-om> I-Am-Groot: ^^ if you do not use them, you do not need them, when you do have the need you will know .
[00:44] <I-Am-Groot> Bashing-om, Noted!
[00:44] <akik> sebastian_: no, but the change will not stick
[00:44] <I-Am-Groot> One more thing, There are some Unity themes i used to have when i had the 32bit version of ubuntu. I just installed one of them and its not working very well as it used to do.
[00:44] <I-Am-Groot> Are the the 32bit themes different from the ones 64bits use?
[00:45] <sebastian_> akik: no effect. getaddrinfo is still taking 15 secs
[00:45] <sue> I have linux ubuntu os with xp virtual installed on it
[00:45] <daftykins> sue: yes but _which_ virt tech? oracle virtualbox?
[00:45] <sue> yes
[00:45] <Bashing-om> I-Am-Groot: I do not run unity, and have no recent experience with it . Can not help with theming in unity .
[00:45] <daftykins> sue: what happens? you may need to take this to #vbox
[00:46] <I-Am-Groot> That's okay
[00:46] <sue> how do I do that, I,m new to linux and virtual machine
[00:49] <thompenn> so I have a runaway keypress event (my lenovo yoga telling the kernel it's current orientation..useful in windows for tablet mode). I have tried to set it to 255 so that it will be ignored, but have had trouble getting it to persist. anyway the 'unknown keypress' spams my dmesg, but that shouldn't be something that could cause a full X lockup, right?
[00:50] <sebastian_> akik: i guess that I can "fix" that by disabling ipv6 but I don't like that
[00:50] <akik> sebastian_: is the problem only with your demo program?
[00:50] <daftykins> thompenn: power off, remove the battery and mains power, hold the power button to discharge then power back up and see if it changes anything perhaps
[00:51] <thompenn> sorry, mains power?
[00:51] <Ellipsis> Would it be alright for me to ask for some help?
[00:52] <Bashing-om> !ask | Ellipsis
[00:52] <daftykins> thompenn: AC adapter? outlet power? the electricity pipe :D
[00:52] <Ellipsis> I just started trying to learn linux yesterday. I successfully installed Lubuntu. Today however, I saw Crashbang++, and decided to give it a try and install it from my USB.
[00:53] <Ellipsis> I successfully went through the install, I thought... However, I can't seem to get past the GNU Grub 2 Prompt.
[00:53] <daftykins> Ellipsis: we only supported proper ubuntu flavours
[00:53] <daftykins> *support
[00:53] <daftykins> what is with my fingers today o0
[00:54] <Ellipsis> @daftykins Ah, so I should seek help elsewhere?
[00:54] <daftykins> yep
[00:54] <daftykins> !alis | Ellipsis
[00:54] <Ellipsis> !alis
[00:54] <lahaugen87> There is a #lubuntu
[00:55] <Ellipsis> I believe this is probably more of a Debian problem, I'll see if there is a support for that
[00:55] <Ellipsis> Thanks
[00:55] <daftykins> lahaugen87: we're told that's the *prior* distro :)
[00:56]  * pajda slaps Wezyr around a bit with a large fishbot
[00:56] <OerHeks> Ellipsis, https://crunchbangplusplus.org/ only a forum
[00:59] <sebastian_> akik: disabling ipv6 using sysctl also doesn't help, as name resoluion seems not to be affected
[00:59]  * pajda slaps Wezyr around a bit with a large fishbot
[00:59]  * pajda slaps Wezyr around a bit with a large fishbot
[00:59]  * pajda slaps Wezyr around a bit with a large fishbot
[00:59] <Wezyr> pajda: dont slap ppl around
[01:00] <pajda> Wezyr: I don't know what I'm doing ;_;
[01:00] <daftykins> tip, not clowning around in a support channel
[01:00] <pajda> Oh, sorry man. But as you see, there's no problems :)

[01:03] <asus_ux501> that's why I asked if it would help if I PXE
[01:03] <daftykins> asus_ux501: i take it you've experimented with USB port also?
[01:03] <asus_ux501> you mean, different USB ports?
[01:03] <daftykins> sure do
[01:04] <daftykins> preferably USB 2.0
[01:04] <IceNine> what would be the best way to script switching audio input/output?
[01:06] <asus_ux501> daftykins. One step ahead now. I have changed the USB port, and it went a bit further I guess, because the resolution has changed, but still gave the stdin error.
[01:06] <daftykins> nothing you typed had 'stdin' in?

[01:08] <Guest36021> ok Merci
[01:08] <daftykins> asus_ux501: yeah nomodeset is absolutely mandatory
[01:09] <daftykins> asus_ux501: just to confirm, you're seeing white text options on a black background when booting the flash drive... you hit 'e' to edit and add 'nomodeset' after 'quiet splash' near the bottom yes?
[01:10] <asus_ux501> yes, I do that, there are ---
[01:10] <asus_ux501> I type nomodeset before ---
[01:10] <asus_ux501> as in "ignore_uuid boot=casper quiet splash nomodeset ---"
[01:10] <daftykins> yep looks good
[01:10] <asus_ux501> correct?
[01:11] <daftykins> what did you say you prepared the flash drive with?
[01:11] <asus_ux501> f10 to boot from changes.
[01:12] <asus_ux501> give the booting from usb or detecting the usb modules are shaky, would it help if I PXE?
[01:13] <daftykins> i'd prefer you answer some questions and attempt preparing the flash drive again from scratch before even considering a crazy method
[01:14] <daftykins> asus_ux501: ultimately though, i don't think you're going to have an easy time with this specification of system and ubuntu right now.
[01:14] <daftykins> not until at least 16.04 comes out
[01:14] <asus_ux501> okey, ask me anything
[01:14] <daftykins> i did, how'd you prepare the flash drive?
[01:15] <daftykins> which program, which OS etc.
[01:15] <asus_ux501> okey, the system boots to windows 10.
[01:16] <asus_ux501> the program usb live creator is called Universal-USB-Installer-<IP_ADDRESS>
[01:16] <daftykins> you mentioned a second laptop, does the flash drive boot fine on that?
[01:16] <asus_ux501> it's a windows 10 home
[01:17] <OerHeks> windows 10.. make sure fastboot is disabled.
[01:17] <asus_ux501> that's the laptop I'm typing on right now. yeap, but that's my only laptop. I can try testing ubuntu on it. and come back here
[01:18] <daftykins> sounds like a plan
[01:18] <asus_ux501> fastboot is disabled
[01:18] <asus_ux501> okey, going to test it and come back.
[01:21] <keli> hi
[01:22] <daftykins> hello
[01:22] <keli> is it ok to do a partial update to ubuntu14 04?
[01:23] <rww> no
[01:23] <keli> i think its partial because the download stop or paused the last time
[01:23] <daftykins> what are you trying to achieve?
[01:25] <keli> daftykins nothing really just feel like updating my system
[01:25] <daftykins> you mean upgrading, from what to 14.04?
[01:26] <keli> from 14.04 to the latest available
[01:26] <daftykins> it'd make more sense to wait until April when 16.04, the new LTS, comes out
[01:27] <daftykins> otherwise you'd have to go to 15.04 first, then to 15.10 before the end of the month
[01:28] <asus_ux501> back here. All went well, I even chose UEFI at boot options, on dell inspiron. booted into same USB ubuntu 15.10 without problem. (I entered nomodeset at boot options)
[01:28] <asus_ux501> my mistake, UEFI was set at BIOS.
[01:28] <keli> yeah daftykins think that would be fine to try 15:04 first
[01:29] <daftykins> keli: 14.04 is LTS so you're fine where you are, unless you specifically *need* something it'd be a waste of time
[01:29] <zmc> Hey everyone, I was wondering how I can see a source-diff or what patch was applied when a package was updated with apt-get
[01:32] <daftykins> asus_ux501: honestly if it were me i'd return it - why such a high restocking fee also?
[01:33] <asus_ux501> it's 15% of 1.5K price
[01:33] <keli> okay daftykins how can i stop the upgrade its already running cant see the cancel button
[01:34] <asus_ux501> what would you suggest as an alternative, that has 4 cores, 8 threats, 16GB RAM  (14")
[01:34] <asus_ux501> that is Linux friendly
[01:34] <daftykins> keli: depends how far you got, when you came in it sounded like it'd been interrupted already - not that it's in-process
[01:34] <daftykins> asus_ux501: i wouldn't
[01:35] <asus_ux501> daftykins what do you mean you wouldn't?
[01:35] <daftykins> recommend anything
[01:35] <daftykins> i'm not aware of the market for high end laptops, i mostly focus on portable solutions with max battery life
[01:36] <daftykins> much less the Linux support for that category
[01:36] <asus_ux501> okey, thanks for your time. I'm going to try some more and see if I can make it work
[01:37] <keli> daftykins yeah it stopped but i started over again
[01:37] <keli> should i just turn my network off/
[01:38] <daftykins> asus_ux501: it's not going to happen, even if you got to desktop the storage in there is too new to be made use of
[01:38] <daftykins> so you'd not be able to install without major pain
[01:38] <whynot555> $ rename 's/le$/lexx/g' doesn't work.  Anyone know why or some other way to get the '$' out of thousands of file names at once?
[01:38] <daftykins> asus_ux501: my very final suggestion would be to try a daily ISO of 16.04 - http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/
[01:42] <asus_ux501> got it
[01:43] <mikubuntu> this page won't let me escape, has audio to go along with it warning me to call the microsoft technicians http://ibin.co/2SuGjU9WckuA
[01:43] <mikubuntu> i've never in my life had this problem on ubuntu (or any linux) :: heres the dialog box: http://ibin.co/2SuHlnnktDfO i had to shut the computer down and switch from chrome to chromium to get away from it. running lubuntu 14.04.
[01:44] <daftykins> killall chrome
[01:44] <daftykins> mikubuntu: so is this even relevant anymore if you've avoided it?
[01:44] <daftykins> like, what are you asking? :)
[01:44] <chef`> mikbuntu: if it keeps popping up, purge and reinstall the browsers, you might also run bleachbit to clean out anything left behind and also run a sophos antivirus scan, its free
[01:45] <mikubuntu> daftykins: problem is when i restart it, my settings are for chrome to go back to my last tabs open
[01:45] <daftykins> mikubuntu: move the profile folder / create a new profile
[01:45] <daftykins> or ask the chrome folks how to chop out that action
[01:46] <mikubuntu> daftykins: is there a chrome channel -- never thought of it
[01:47] <daftykins> !alis
[01:48] <mikubuntu> daftykins: hopefully someone in chrome has a clue what to do
[01:48] <jaxag> Hello! I am using Ubuntu 15.10 with Unity and am having a peculiar issue with switching between keyboard layouts ("input sources"). Does anybody here understand how the "text entry" settings and/or keyboard indicator work behind the scenes?
[01:48] <daftykins> mikubuntu: well i already said what'd work, so it only depends if you want to recover some bookmarks
[01:48] <mikubuntu> daftykins: funny because usually chrome will warn of dangerous sites before it
[01:49] <mikubuntu> daftykins: sry, sounded a lil over my head
[01:49] <chef`> you should install bitdefender traffic light
[01:49] <chef`> its an add-on in chrome and firefox
[01:49] <mikubuntu> chef`: thx i'll check it out
[01:50] <daftykins> mikubuntu: that's fine, but you have to shout :)
[01:50] <mikubuntu> it's a very 'windows' kind of problem thought i left all that behind in 7.04 :P
[01:51] <daftykins> anything browser is a problem no matter what OS you are on
[01:51] <OerHeks> close browser, clear the browsercache and plugins and you are fine
[01:52] <daftykins> OerHeks: apparently chromium is restoring the last session tabs from chrome on launch - if i understand mikubuntu right?
[01:52] <daftykins> ugh google results are a mess for chromium
[01:52] <mikubuntu> OerHeks: no, i'm on chromium and it's fine -- except as you noted, it doesn't have all my preferences set
[01:53] <mikubuntu> so i want to be able to use chrome
[01:53] <mikubuntu> used to like firefox, but rather ambivalent about it anymore
[01:53] <daftykins> mikubuntu: do you need any data from "chrome" 's profile, or can you nuke it and start afresh?
[01:54] <daftykins> mikubuntu: the profile is in /home/username/.config/google-chrome apparently - so you can murder it there (or just move it out of that folder to hide it)
[01:54] <daftykins> then the browser will run as if clean installed
[01:54] <mikubuntu> daftykins: u mean just uninstall? guess i'm not sure if it will resync all my settings on reinstall.
[01:55] <daftykins> no i mean the profile is a folder in the above path
[01:55] <daftykins> i've been trying to get at whether you want any data from chrome with my above questions
[01:56] <mikubuntu> daftykins: just my settings and bookmarks, no 'data' there besides that
[01:58] <daftykins> mikubuntu: yeah i don't know off hand if you can pull that out of the profile - so the folks in the channel may be of help, but if you have just the one computer i would probably create a new user account, switch to it, run chrome and log in with your account (if you were using sync) then see if everything you want comes back
[01:58] <daftykins> then you will know if you can nuke the profile instead
[02:01] <mikubuntu> daftykins: dOH! ok, i signed in to chromium and it seems to have sync-ed everything except my last open tabs -- perfect.
[02:02] <jaxag> Text entry settings and/or keyboard indicator behind the scenes anyone? Please?
[02:03] <daftykins> mikubuntu: \o/
[02:08] <jsoh> i've set chrome to my default browser, yet links still open up in firefox. any tips?
[02:09] <OerHeks> firefox checks itself if it is the default, disable that?
[02:10] <daftykins> if that was via the browser's options, check the DE's options
[02:10] <OerHeks> and systemsettings > details > default apps is the place to be
[02:10] <jaxag> OK, maybe we can try this: I want to understand what happens behind the scenes when I choose a keyboard layout through the indicator in the status line. I think I have the necessary programming skills, but no experience whatsoever with OS/Ubuntu code. Can anybody please direct me to the source code of indicator-keyboard?
[02:11] <jsoh> thanks, that did the trick.
[02:12] <g3ky> jaxag, Have you been here? http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/wily/indicator-keyboard/wily/files
[02:14] <jaxag> Thanks, g3ky! I'll try and delve into it right now!
[02:15] <jaxag> (If anyone feels like lending a hand... :-) )
[02:19] <jaxag> Specifically, I'm looking for the action that takes place when a specific layout is chosen - the mechanism which causes the actual layout switch (presumably using setxkbmap? Or perhaps not?).
[02:19] <g3ky> jaxag, Probably calling localectl.
[02:22] <jaxag> g3ky: You think it's localectl? I thought localectl controls the _default_ keyboard layout.
[02:22] <OerHeks> SUPER + space, see the indicator-keyboard menu > text entry settings
[02:23] <jaxag> Whereas I'm interested in what happens when the user tries to change the current keyboard layout.
[02:24] <jaxag> OerHeks: I'm looking for what happens behind the scenes when the user super+space's.
[02:24] <daftykins> jaxag: fwiw i think your query might get a more just response from an askubuntu or ubuntu forums post - if you intend for it to be specific to unity on ubuntu
[02:25] <jaxag> Thanks, daftykins. I've tried askubuntu recently with a similar (albeit different) issue, and was disappointed by the lack of views, let alone answer... :-( I was hoping here I could find someone who knows something about it.
[02:26] <jaxag> Also, I'm not familiar with environments other than Unity, but I'm not sure my issue is Unity-specific.
[02:27] <jaxag> (Is the indicator-keyboard Unity-specific? I would assume it's not.)
[02:27] <daftykins> jaxag: mmm not at this time really, if relevant to your interest then it might be worth going up the chain channels wise, to say #debian or even #linux
[02:28] <jaxag> OK, daftykins - thanks for the tip!
[02:28] <daftykins> np :)
[02:31] <jaxag> daftykins: I think my topic, while not Unity-specific, is in fact Ubuntu-specific. For now I'll try and understand the indicator-keyboard code, and I'll try and come back if and when I have more specific questions.
[02:32] <tambu> Is there a good way to block users from showing up in the Unity Login page? I have a bunch of application users I'd prefer didn't show up.
[02:32] <jaxag> (And thanks again, g3ky!)
[02:32] <lotuspsychje> tambu: you mean hide users at login window?
[02:33] <cfhowlett> tambu, http://www.tejasbarot.com/2014/04/25/hide-users-login-as-other-user-from-login-screen-ubuntu-14-04-lts-trusty-tahr/#axzz3wnyAg2fr
[02:33] <tambu> lotuspsychje: yes I believe so.. they can't even login via ssh so not sure why they show up
[02:34] <tambu> cfhowlett: I was actually trying to hide "application" users only I think that link isa bout hiding all users..
[02:34] <daftykins> asus_ux501: have you had any luck with the 16.04 dailys?
[02:35] <asus_ux501> Hi, I was downloading the image, i'll try shortly and report here
[02:35] <asus_ux501> thanks for asking
[02:36] <tambu> lotuspsychje: I'm trying to hide certain users, i mean if a users account is locked why show it on login? it's impossible to login
[02:36] <daftykins> np
[02:36] <lotuspsychje> tambu: the best way is to hide them all, so everyone needs to type username + pass
[02:37] <cfhowlett> this ^^^ !
[02:37] <tambu> lotuspsychje: .. Really? I mean the system already hides users like www-data bind avahi syslog and lots other? That seems rather extreme
[02:38] <daftykins> usernames are 50% of your credentials
[02:38] <cfhowlett> security.  having the login name is halfway to having system control
[02:39] <lotuspsychje> tambu: really all depends why you want them to be hidden also, for what purpose...you can foolaround with adduser/useradd also
[02:43] <anonymous_> hello
[02:43] <lotuspsychje> tambu: there is also a way to hide specific usernames with lightdm conf tweak
[02:45] <tambu> cfhowlett lotuspsychje Thanks for your ideas, I just found this link gonna give it a try http://askubuntu.com/a/575390
[02:45] <cfhowlett> happy2help! tambu
[02:47] <lotuspsychje> tambu: i've tried method 4 myself and works like a charm, that will hide all users and manual login
[02:48] <Bashing-om> asus_ux501: 16.04 any better results ?
[02:51] <asus_ux501> no guys, same usb device not accepting address 2 error -62
[02:51] <daftykins> none of that is relevant
[02:52] <daftykins> asus_ux501: ok reload the EFI defaults and try again
[02:53] <asus_ux501> OK. I'm booting without 'nomodeset' to see if it works

[03:00] <asus_ux501> my apologies for flooding the irc
[03:01] <daftykins> it's ok, we have a good plumber
[03:01] <lotuspsychje> lol
[03:02] <cfhowlett> ewwww ...
[03:03] <Bashing-om> asus_ux501: Older info for skylake, but worth a shot : http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Intel-SKL-Prelim-Support to see if there is a positive result .
[03:09] <OerHeks> Because i say so.
[03:10] <OerHeks> Ubuntu!
[03:11] <Bashing-om> ^ good 'nuf reason for me .
[03:13] <asus_ux501> Bashing-om would it relate to my case, mine is core   i7 6700HQ Processor
[03:14] <Bashing-om> asus_ux501: daftykins Indicated to me that you were running skylake, so yeah, that boot parameter may be valid .
[03:15] <daftykins> only thing is i think asus_ux501' laptop model uses nvidia only and not optimus, i'm not 100% though
[03:15] <asus_ux501> how can I check if asus ux501 is skylake?
[03:15] <daftykins> it has a 6th gen core processor
[03:16] <daftykins> i3/i5/i7-6xxx
[03:17] <Bashing-om> daftykins: asus_ux501 Alweays amazint to me what I do not know .. but we have an Intel error " drm:intel_dp_aux_ch i915 " We also looking at hybrid graphics ??
[03:17] <asus_ux501> yes, Intel® Core™ i7 6700HQ Processor; 16GB DDR4; 15.6 IPS UHD (3840 x 2160); NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M with 2G GDDR5 VRAM
[03:17] <daftykins> ah maybe it is hybrid, possibly just me thinking of the wrong page i had earlier again - apologies Bashing-om
[03:18] <lotuspsychje> asus_ux501: are you dualbooting or singleboot ubuntu?
[03:18] <daftykins> perhaps text boot is going to end up being worthy of a try, or at least deleting "quiet splash"
[03:18] <Bashing-om> daftykins: asus_ux501 We are all in this together . I do implicitly trust daftykins judgement .
[03:18] <daftykins> lotuspsychje: it's not installed, as a Linux can't even be booted yet
[03:19] <lotuspsychje> daftykins: but does he want dualboot or single?
[03:19] <asus_ux501> lotuspsychje wouldn't even allow ubuntu test, let alone installing
[03:19] <asus_ux501> I want single boot, I don't use windows,
[03:19] <asus_ux501> even if I have to do dualboot, I won't use windows
[03:20] <lotuspsychje> asus_ux501: you 100% sure you disabled fastboot and secureboot right?
[03:20] <Bashing-om> lotuspsychje: daftykins : asus_ux501 :: Nor have we acertained that " NVMe " is at play here .
[03:20] <asus_ux501> exactly sure
[03:20] <lotuspsychje> kk
[03:20] <daftykins> it's totally going to be whack-a-mole with problems
[03:21] <daftykins> and i'm not even sure there's a mallet on the end of the chain tethered to the penguin
[03:21] <asus_ux501> I had them ON before, but saw the prompts and disabled them. I'm glad to see you agree and we don't need them.
[03:21] <lotuspsychje> asus_ux501: no weird intel bios option to block install new Os neither?
[03:21] <lotuspsychje> asus_ux501: i recall seeing that option on 1 machine in the past
[03:22] <asus_ux501> I'll check again to see if there's any hidden option.
[03:22] <lotuspsychje> ok
[03:24] <b1rdd0g> I am installing some KVM packages with apt-get, tonight, and I'm constantly seeing messages of this type:
[03:24] <b1rdd0g> sudo apt-get install virt-manager
[03:24] <asus_ux501> one question regarding "NVMe" . ux501vw has 512GB PCIe G3x4 SSD
[03:25] <b1rdd0g> The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
[03:25] <b1rdd0g>   gir1.2-gnomekeyring-1.0 gir1.2-rb-3.0 gir1.2-secret-1 libc6-dev:i386
[03:25] <b1rdd0g>   libcairo-script-interpreter2:i386 libcairo2-dev:i386
[03:25] <b1rdd0g>   libcanberra-gtk-common-dev libdmapsharing-3.0-2 libexpat1-dev:i386
[03:25] <cfhowlett> !paste | b1rdd0g
[03:26] <daftykins> asus_ux501: yeah that's what has us suspect it could be too new to work well
[03:28] <asus_ux501> what is my alternative? shouldn't it at least bring up the live ubuntu so I can see that other drivers are working?
[03:32] <SchrodingersScat> b1rdd0g: if you remove something with apt-get remove, the dependencies that are no longer required for anything else can be apt-ge autoremove'd.
[03:32] <Bashing-om> asus_ux501: Well, no .. we are looking at driver issues for "  RAID using Intel SRT which creates a smaller hibernation partition.
[03:34] <lotuspsychje> asus_ux501: have you tested other Os for install?
[03:34] <asus_ux501> yes, centos failed as well. I've just downloaded Fedora 23. I'll test it shortly
[03:34] <b1rdd0g> SchrodingersScat: Can I be assured that apt-get autoremove will not remove anything that I DO need? Is there a way to preview what will get removed, first?
[03:35] <lotuspsychje> asus_ux501: ok, keep us up to date :p
[03:35] <cfhowlett> b1rdd0g, apt-get -s autoremove will simulate not execute
[03:35] <SchrodingersScat> b1rdd0g: I think the condition for a prompt of y/n is if there's more than one package, that may only be for install/remove though, not sure.  It's telling you right there though :^)
[03:36] <xuekan> hi everyone are there some powerful formatting tools to format usb or sd card for linux, I have a stubborn sd card which has defeated the method of fdisk, mkfs, and parted. it can't be formatted with those conventional ways.
[03:36] <SchrodingersScat> b1rdd0g: ie, autoremove might prompt every time, but I don't recall times when it was a single package...
[03:36] <lotuspsychje> !info gparted | xuekan
[03:36] <asus_ux501> will do. thanks, you've been very supportive and good company
[03:36] <xuekan> lotuspsychje, gparted even cant't read the partition out!
[03:37] <daftykins> asus_ux501: nothing will help imo
[03:37] <xuekan> tried fsck.fat, no luck
[03:37] <daftykins> simply too new and unsupported
[03:37] <lotuspsychje> xuekan: can you tail -f /var/log/syslog and plugout/plugin card and pastebin to us?
[03:38] <xuekan> lotuspsychje, the system can identify the card, it's just everytime I do a plugin, it shows the same content no matter how I formatted it.
[03:39] <lotuspsychje> xuekan: can you do the above please?
[03:39] <asus_ux501> if it doesn't work out for me, I'll swap it with Lenovo t450s. that should work.
 I am new both to Ubuntu and to IRC. It seems http://paste.ubuntu.com wanted me to setup my Ubuntu One account, which I have now done. I'm not really clear what I need to do, next.
[03:43] <SubCool> ok, not sure what to do here, I have a liveusb that im using to hopefully recover my drives. I am trying to configure it and make it, but its erroring because of path, and compiler..
[03:43] <SubCool> what cna i download without downloing the fleet of comiler stuff to make it work.
[03:44] <cfhowlett> b1rdd0g, now you can edit your /home/b1rddog/.pastebinit.xml
[03:44] <xuekan> lotuspsychje, this is the paste: http://pastebin.com/i8vbvqjx
 OK, I've got the text to paste into paste.ubuntu.com. Copy and paste it from there??
[03:44] <SchrodingersScat> b1rdd0g: ubottu is the ubuntu bot, and while she's very helpful she's not intelligent.
[03:45] <lotuspsychje> xuekan: we dont support mint sorry mate
[03:45] <SchrodingersScat> b1rdd0g: also yep, once you have the link to share it, feel free to paste it if it looks safe to paste.
[03:45] <b1rdd0g> SchrodingersScat> I am so obviously new, here!
[03:45] <cfhowlett> b1rdd0g, no need.  run your command and add |pastebinit to the end
 I don't seem to have a pastebinit command.
[03:46] <b1rdd0g> something else to install?
[03:46] <cfhowlett> b1rdd0g, do this: dpkg -l | pastebinit
[03:46] <xuekan> lotuspsychje, are you fucking kidding me? the card was formatted long time ago, the name can't be changed, through the ways I mentioned above!unbelievable!
[03:47] <xuekan> what a waste of time!
[03:47] <cfhowlett> xuekan, knock it off!  no profanity and mint is not ubuntu. go to mint for support
[03:47] <daftykins> xuekan: that language is not acceptable here.
[03:47] <lotuspsychje> xuekan: are you running ubuntu desktop?
[03:47] <xuekan> I'm running debian! on which your stupid ubuntu based
[03:47] <lotuspsychje> xuekan: so ask #debian then
[03:47] <SchrodingersScat> cfhowlett: how is he going to pastebinit the list if he's checking ef he has pastebinit :|
[03:47] <cfhowlett> xuekan, and debian is not ubuntu either.  go to debian for support
[03:48]  * rww looks up
[03:48] <daftykins> xuekan: consider yourself ignored.
[03:48] <cfhowlett> SchrodingersScat, feel free to add useful guidance
[03:48] <xuekan> unfuckingbelievable!
[03:48] <rww> oh good, it solved itself
[03:48] <lotuspsychje> rww: :p
[03:49] <b1rdd0g> Wow! That is so slick! http://paste.ubuntu.com/14455305/
[03:49] <durant> Why does every program need to be compiled in Ubuntu just to use a program
[03:49] <daftykins> they don't, you're using it wrong
[03:50] <lotuspsychje> durant: what kind of program are you in need off exactly?
[03:50] <cfhowlett> b1rdd0g, yep.  now - go back to the original command you were trying to share the output of .  add        |pastebinit and share the url
[03:50] <SchrodingersScat> !repositories | durant
 I think that is what I just pasted in the URL, right?
[03:51] <cfhowlett> b1rdd0g, that was the output of dpkg -l   which I asked you to do.  now we now you have pastebinit and can go to your original question.
[03:51] <rahuldev> If I have to share image here, which site I can use?
[03:51] <daftykins> imgur.com
[03:52] <rahuldev> thanks daftykins
 Sorry, I think I lost the plot! You see "dpkg -l" in this URL: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14455305/ ???
[03:53] <cfhowlett> b1rdd0g, yes.  so what was the question that brought you to irc today.
[03:55] <b1rdd0g> cfhowlett> I was installing some packages with apt-get, this evening. Apparently, each time I run apt-get, it finds some packages that are no longer used and prompts me to remove them with "apt-get autoremove". The URL I pasted was the pastebinit output of the command "apt-get -s autoremove".
[03:56] <cfhowlett> b1rdd0g, ah!  right.  sudo apt-get autoremove           will execute the command
[03:56] <lahaugen87> What do the - in there do?
[03:56] <lahaugen87> -s
[03:56] <cfhowlett> -s = simulate (or is it sandbox?)
[03:56] <SchrodingersScat> !man | lahaugen87 simulate
[03:57] <b1rdd0g> cfhowlett> I know that all the *i386 packages came from an ill advised attempt to install Acrobat Reader (which I have now uninstalled).
[03:57] <cfhowlett> b1rdd0g, :)  that will teach you.  evince reader fills the needs of most .pdf readers
[03:58] <b1rdd0g> cfhowlett> I completely comfortable with removing those. I have no idea what the gir1.* packages are.
[03:59] <SchrodingersScat> b1rdd0g: apt-cache show <packagename> can be helpful sometimes
[04:00] <b1rdd0g> cfhowlett> As long as I can be confident that I won't bolux anything, again. I am just too new to autoremove to be confident that it won't remove anything I truly need. After, ignorance got me into this pickle, in the first place!
[04:01] <cfhowlett> b1rdd0g, autoremove removes residuals from main packages you have already taken out.  very unlikely to cause issues but, as SchrodingersScat suggested, apt-cache show <packagename> if you are truly concerned
[04:02] <b1rdd0g> cfhowlett> BTW, the reason I was trying to install Acrobat Reader was that I had a *.pdf form that needed to be filled out. evince clearly wasn't doing it, so I thought I'd give Acroread a try. Didn't work. Paid the price, too!
[04:02] <b1rdd0g> cfhowlett> Yep, gonna get a look at "show", right now!
[04:02] <cfhowlett> b1rdd0g, I have windows7 in a virtualbox for that exact reason
[04:04] <b1rdd0g> cfhowlett> As a matter of fact, I'm installing KVM, tonight. I've started some Linux classes, and I need to be able to install several different distros.
[04:04] <rahuldev> hi, Is i'm right "sudo apt-get remove SoftwareName" is right command to uninstall package?
[04:04] <Ben64> rahuldev: yep
[04:04] <daftykins> package name, technically
[04:04] <rahuldev> Ben64, thanks
[04:04] <cfhowlett> rahuldev, that will remove the package only.  apt-get purge packagename will remove package and .config settings
[04:06] <rahuldev> cfhowlett, can I use "apt-get purge packagename" command after "sudo apt-get install remove"?
[04:06] <cfhowlett> rahuldev, install remove?  what?
[04:06] <cfhowlett> assume you mean apt-get remove ...
[04:07] <rahuldev> Oops sorry!, yes sudo apt-get remove
[04:07] <rahuldev> actually I'm uninstalling wordpress
[04:07] <cfhowlett> rahuldev, OK. apt-get purge will remove package and purge all .configs
[04:08] <rahuldev> thanks cfhowlett
[04:08] <cfhowlett> happy2help! rahuldev
[04:10] <b1rdd0g> cfhowlett> http://paste.ubuntu.com/14455405/ I don't know of anything that uses that package, but it kinda sounds important!
[04:10] <cfhowlett> b1rdd0g, no sudo on that command
[04:11] <b1rdd0g> cfhowlett> sudo isn't required to run apt-cache?
[04:11] <cfhowlett> nope
[04:11] <daftykins> you should always run without sudo first, and only step it up if necessary so you can learn which require it and which don't
 point taken. I'm learning quite a bit, tonight!
[04:13] <cfhowlett> b1rdd0g, fwiw, I don't have it either, but then I'm on xubuntu, so .. no gnome.
[04:13] <cfhowlett> ask someone who uses ubuntu about keyring manager.  I 'd bet there is a replacement package
 OK, you know what, I think I'm just gonna let "apt-get autoremove" run, then. I have stored any keys on a keyring, that I can recall. Hopefully, it I learn that I need it, I can go back and install it, later.
[04:14] <cfhowlett> sounds like a plan
 Thanks for your help and explanations, tonight! I'm looking forward to getting deeper in Linux!
[04:16] <cfhowlett> !fcm | b1rdd0g, may I suggest FCM
[04:21] <b1rdd0g> cfhowlett> The first thing you said to me tonight was "!paste | birdd0g" And just now, you said "!fcm | birdd0g". Is that some type of IRC convention with the "bang"?
[04:21] <b1rdd0g> cfhowlett> Does "!" mean "don't do that"? ??
[04:22] <SchrodingersScat> b1rdd0g: it signals the bot, you can msg/query the bot to learn more, maybe try /msg ubottu !help
[04:22] <cfhowlett> b1rdd0g, the irc channel admins have written commonly called upon info bits (factoids).  to trigger a factoid, one types !factoidname and it will appear
[04:22] <cfhowlett> b1rdd0g, actually !factoidname |         is the proper protocol
[04:22] <b1rdd0g> Ah! I knew it had to mean something!
[04:23] <b1rdd0g> !fcm |
[04:23] <b1rdd0g> !paste |
[04:23] <cfhowlett> b1rdd0g, there is a lot of use info there.  to see for yourself discreetly, you should message the bot like this:    /msg ubottu !fcm                and you'll get a private message

[05:13] <ubuntu-mate> I messed up by delete my swap partition while it was mounted. gparted threw an error and told me the changes wouldn't take affect until I restarted. I restarted, and now my installation won't boot.
[05:15] <ubuntu-mate> So I then either removed it in gparted from live cd, tried to boot, booting didn't work. So I edited fstab to remove the swap partition and it still won't boot.
[05:16] <ubuntu-mate> WOnder if my swap partition is messed up
[05:16] <ubuntu-mate> err
[05:16] <daftykins> what happens?
[05:16] <ubuntu-mate> I wonder if my root partition is messed up.
[05:16] <daftykins> when you power on
[05:17] <ubuntu-mate> When I power on, I can switch around the kernels and what not, but then it just goes to a black screen
[05:18] <daftykins> switch around? as in you can get to a GRUB menu?
[05:18] <ubuntu-mate> Yes I can.
[05:19] <daftykins> if you use proprietary graphics drivers it wouldn't hurt to try deleting "quiet splash" and adding "nomodeset" to your boot params.
[05:19] <daftykins> that may give more of an idea as to what is going wrong
[05:19] <ubuntu-mate> Proprietary drivers are used.
[05:23] <ubuntu-mate> daftykins, Thanks, I'll try.
[05:39] <M4ca> Is it really safe using Thunderbir or Kmail? I wonder it because when I configured the stmp server (outgoing mails), there is a marker box which the authentication must be in SSL, but below there is the only option that the password is in plain text... It means that the password isn't ciphered?

[05:50] <mattaustin> Hi. Anyone else using 'devel' xenial ubuntu-gnome+ppas? I am on two machines (laptop+desktop), and for the last month I can't logon to either (am just returned to the login gdm screen). I have to downgrade to libmutter0g (which also downgrades gnome-shell and some other packages with it) to get a 'working' desktop again - although the gtk theme seems messed up.
[05:50] <nicomachus> !xenial | mattaustin
[05:51] <mattaustin> nicomachus: Thanks! sorry!
[05:51] <nicomachus> np. :)
[05:58] <plytro> so 16.04 is ditching apt for snappy?
[05:59] <daftykins> don't think so
[05:59] <daftykins> !snappy
[05:59] <plytro> ah container packages got it
[06:05] <extraymond> Hi! Anyone know how to uninstall intel opencl sdk? I messd up my laptop. Now it can't use proper opengl...
[06:08] <lotuspsychje> !recovery | extraymond fix broken packages
[06:09] <Jordan_U> M4ca: As long as you're using ssl, the password is still encrypted so that only the SMTP server can read it.
[06:10] <extraymond> ubottu, lotuspsychje thx. I can boot into unity properly, but I'm on a intel+amd laptop. It's not booting with now. I should describe more clearly.
[06:10] <extraymond> ubottu, really... cool stuff!
[06:10] <Jordan_U> M4ca: Which is slightly less good than a challenge and response where even the SMTP server doesn't know your password, but people don't usually mind their SMTP server knowing their SMTP password.
[06:10] <lotuspsychje> extraymond: not sure what you did to brake, but entering grub/recoverymode can get you into fix broken packages option
[06:11] <rahuldev> Hi
[06:11] <M4ca> Understood. Thank you for your respone Jordan_U
[06:11] <rahuldev> My computer is dual boot, installed window 7 and ubuntu, Now I want to install window 7 in c, Is there chances my ubuntu will not work again?
[06:12] <lotuspsychje> !dualboot | rahuldev
[06:12] <daftykins> yes, you'll have to reinstall grub after
[06:12] <daftykins> (if legacy boot)
[06:12] <rahuldev> thanks lotuspsychje daftykins
[06:13] <daftykins> !grub
[06:13] <daftykins> that one is handy
[06:14] <extraymond> lotuspsychje, let me get this properly, I've succes booting into unity, and I can fire up synaptic, I've tried reinstalled all the mesa* xorg* fglrx packages and even kernel itself. But when I reboot, it still has some config left for the intel media server studio sdk. Like when I typed vainfo, it should show whether intel's default or amd's chipsets. Instead, I got something like /.../.../../ is not found which is the path
[06:14] <extraymond> the sdk set.
[06:17] <plytro> extraymond: do you know the package name for the intelsdk?
[06:17] <plytro> have your run sudo apt-get purge <package>
[06:18] <extraymond> plytro, its not a deb file, its something like install.sh Intel dropped deb support since 12.04 I think. There is rpm packages though. But I didnt fiddle with it.
[06:18] <plytro> :(
[06:22] <n0p3reXx> Hey! How do you jailbreak an Iphone 5s on a Ubuntu 14.04?

[06:26] <n0p3reXx> Okay.
[06:26] <extraymond> plytro, I'm trying to find files intel touched by browsing the / directory. I've found /etc/profile.d had some newly generated files. Any other files I should be aware that would dictate what graphic or opencl/opengl settings the O.S might use?
[06:32] <Neil_> hi
[06:32] <Neil_> aanyone explain
[06:32] <Neil_> the linxu pacage thing?
[06:33] <plytro> extraymond: you mean unity, not the os, right?
[06:33] <Ben64> Neil_: can you explain what you mean
[06:33] <plytro> extraymond: I mean whats the problem exactly? it appears that you can boot into unity and do everything you need
[06:35] <plytro> you can't use the opengl sdk?
[06:35] <jdwwatts> are you wanting to add applications to your os?
[06:36] <extraymond> plytro, Ok the perfect scenario is that I can roll back to the default setup. And use opencl/va/vdpau/opengl from the repo's package. And it's not happening. Neither can I switch to fglrx driver.
[06:37] <extraymond> plytro, sorry for not knowing linux well, I'm just scared that I might left some configured config there which may lead to not using the system properly.
[06:37] <Neil_> i mean
[06:38] <Neil_> that alot of linux tutoirals say to use apt-get
[06:38] <Neil_> im asking
[06:38] <Neil_> what exactly does that do?
[06:38] <plytro> !apt-get
[06:39] <plytro> Neil_: are you familiar with .msi files in windows?
[06:39] <Neil_> not really
[06:39] <plytro> .exe installers?
[06:39] <jdwwatts> If you like using commands as opposed to the graphical
[06:40] <Neil_> im new
[06:40] <Neil_> to the whole
[06:40] <plytro> to computers completely?
[06:40] <Neil_> command line stuff
[06:40] <Neil_> no
[06:40] <Neil_> ive used PCs for a long time
[06:40] <Neil_> and im the tehc person at home
[06:40] <plytro> how have you installed software
[06:40] <Neil_> but in new ot command line stuff
[06:40] <Neil_> im used to using installers
[06:41] <Neil_> and now im trying to learn the basicss of command lining on all platfroms
[06:41] <plytro> ok so apt-get is essentially a wrapper that says, go get this piece of software and "do something" with it
[06:41] <plytro> be it install, remove, purge, reinstall, etc
[06:42] <Neil_> so its jsut a command line multipurpose isntaller?
[06:42] <plytro> its the commandline equivalent of synaptic/ubuntu software center
[06:42] <Neil_> oh
[06:42] <Neil_> ok
[06:42] <plytro> Neil_: at its most basic level
[06:42] <Neil_> thanks
[06:43] <Neil_> i feel stupid now
[06:43] <Neil_> lol
[06:44] <jdwwatts> Thats good you match te rest of us???

[07:15] <mur_> How to remove xubuntu-desktop environment?
[07:16] <plytro> did you install xubuntu as the base environment?
[07:16] <plytro> or did you start with unity
[07:16] <plytro> and installed xubuntu-desktop later?
[07:17] <mur_> i installed from command "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop" and then restarted ubuntu.
[07:17] <plytro> sudo apt-get purge xubuntu-desktop

[07:32] <mikubuntu> this page won't let me escape, has audio to go along with it warning me to call the microsoft technicians http://ibin.co/2SuGjU9WckuA
[07:32] <mikubuntu> i've never in my life had this problem on ubuntu (or any linux) :: heres the dialog box: http://ibin.co/2SuHlnnktDfO i had to shut the computer down and switch from chrome to chromium to get away from it. running lubuntu 14.04.
[07:35] <mikubuntu> thought i had solved this problem by switching to chromium, but i just was trying to access one of my member sites, and it required me to install flash plugin to run some apps, but when i went to download/upgrade flash, it relaunched chrome, and the offending page took over my browser again
[07:35] <mikubuntu> now i'm getten mad
[07:37] <lolcat> mikubuntu, hahaha
[07:37] <lolcat> mikubuntu, umad bro?
[07:39] <rww> lolcat: keep the nonsense out of here, thanks
[07:41] <lolcat> mikubuntu, I would assume that site is a scam, and can't you just ctrl + f1 + alt out of it and then start htop and do like kill?
[07:41] <lolcat> rww, Lighten up, only trying to lighten the mood a bit. Not like there is anyone else here contributing. If people werent lashing out at honest helpers like you, people might actually end up getting some help.
[07:42] <lolcat> mikubuntu, also, Id wipe out the entire chromium folder, then it wont open the site hwen it starts, obvs only if you dont need bookmarks or plugins or other crap
[07:46] <lotuspsychje> !language | lolcat
[07:47] <lolcat> lotuspsychje, What word was unpolite? hwen was a mispelling of when...
[07:49] <OerHeks> so mikubuntu, again?
[07:50] <lolcat> OerHeks, Mind giving some context?
[07:50] <OerHeks> no site asks to upgrade your flashplugin, and it is not the ubuntu method of installing.
[07:50] <OerHeks> lolcat, he was here before, same issue, solved by removing profile and cacke and plugins
[07:51] <OerHeks> mikubuntu, tip: contact that membersite, and warn them about your experience.
[07:51] <lolcat> OerHeks, I think the site is trying to instal malware for you. Removing profile, cache and plugins can be easily done by a rm -rf  on the folder the settings are in
[07:53] <OerHeks> lolcat, he knows
[07:54] <OerHeks> btw, he used the same photo's...
[07:54] <lolcat> OerHeks, So?

[10:11] <stunts513> Has anybody had issues getting 15.10 to pick up m.2 drives?
[10:11] <stunts513> i can't seem to get mine to even register under /dev
[10:12] <stunts513> regardless, help would be appreciated
[10:13] <Seveas> stunts513: I've never even heard of them, but reading the wikipedia article makes me think: have you tried setting it to AHCI instead of PCI-E (which you can probably do in the bios/efi setup screen)?
[10:14] <stunts513> from what i read, 950 pro's are stricly nvme
[10:14] <stunts513> then again i'm new to m.2 drives
[10:14] <stunts513> seveas:: ^^
[10:15] <Seveas> is the nvme module loaded? lsmod | grep nvme
[10:15] <stunts513> it didnt load up by default so i modprobe'd it
[10:15] <stunts513> still not seeing anything
[10:15] <Seveas> nothing in dmesg after the modprobe?
[10:16] <Seveas> lspci
[10:16] <stunts513> thank you for reminiding me to run that, forgot to
[10:19] <stunts513> seveas: not seeing anything
[10:19] <Seveas> stunts513: neither in dmesg nor in lspci?
[10:20] <stunts513> i dont believe i'm picking it up in lspci
[10:20] <stunts513> odd thing is i know its functioning fine, i  have a windows os setup on a raid of 2 m.2's at the moment
[10:20] <Seveas> on the same box?
[10:20] <stunts513> yea
[10:20] <stunts513> trying to dualboot but kinda a problem if i can't see the drive
[10:22] <Seveas> http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/storage/ssds/1403952/samsung-950-pro-ssd-arrives-nvme-m2-ssd-thats-up-to-5x-faster-than-sata says "Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 all include universal drivers, but the 950 PRO will include its own dedicated proprietary NVMe driver to guarantee support across operating systems. Linux support is also expected to follow in the near future. "
[10:22] <Seveas> which rings alarm bells in my head
[10:23] <Seveas> though http://askubuntu.com/questions/698395/poor-io-performance-pcie-nvme-samsung-950-pro seems to have gotten it to work
[10:24] <stunts513> that would explain it at a glance lemme read up on it
[10:24] <Seveas> good luck
[10:28] <Dro> i get this error when i try to run libreoffice:
[10:28] <Dro> /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin: error while loading shared libraries: liblpsolve55.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[10:28] <Dro> anyone have an idea how to solve it?
[10:36] <Seveas> Dro: how did you install libreoffice?
[10:37] <Dro> Seveas, it was already installed..
[10:37] <Dro> and it was working
[10:37] <Dro> but now when i try to run it , it won't run
[10:38] <geirha> liblpsolve55.so is installed by the lp-solve package
[10:38] <Seveas> hmm, liblpsolve is not a direct dependency
[10:39] <Seveas> Dro: pastebin the outout of: ldd /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin
[10:39] <Seveas> and of: find /usr/local/lib | grep so
[10:39] <geirha> libreoffice-core depends on lp-solve
[10:40] <Seveas> geirha: I meant library directly loaded by soffice.bin

[10:40] <Seveas> current hypothesis: something nasty in /usr/local/lib that overrides something libreoffice needs. Hence the ldd/find :)
[10:41] <Seveas> hmm, liblpsolve is directly loaded by your libreoffice. Which ubuntu/libreoffice version?
[10:41] <Dro> find /usr/local/lib | grep so : http://pastebin.com/CXT3GFRi
[10:41] <geirha> same here
[10:42] <Dro> Seveas, 14.04
[10:42] <Seveas> ah, I'm on 15.10. That explains the difference.
[10:42] <Arshid> Hello
[10:43] <Seveas> I don't know how your system got into its current state, but try this as a workaround: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/lp_solve lowriter
[10:43] <spritwelker> Anyone knows Scratch text editor and where or what the save button/command is?
[10:44] <Dro> Seveas, same error: /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin: error while loading shared libraries: liblpsolve55.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[10:44] <Ben64> Dro: does /usr/lib/lp_solve/liblpsolve55.so exist?
[10:44] <Seveas> Dro: is lp-solve installed? If so, pastebin the output of: dpkg -L lp-solve
[10:44] <Dro> Ben64, no
[10:44] <Ben64> well theres your problem
[10:44] <Seveas> Ben64: different install location for 14.04?
[10:45] <Ben64> i'm on 14.04
[10:45] <Ben64> thats where mine is
[10:45] <Seveas> or yeah, maybe simply not installed, which would be odd
[10:45] <Dro> Seveas, http://pastebin.com/BtN9Fzt3
[10:45] <geirha> So somehow the file has been removed
[10:45] <Seveas> Dro: sudo apt-get install --reinstall lp-solve
[10:46] <MonkeyDust> !info lp-solve
[10:46] <Dro> Seveas,  Reinstallation of lp-solve is not possible, it cannot be downloaded.
[10:46] <Dro> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 32 not upgraded.
[10:46] <geirha> If that file has been removed, without dpkg's involvement, question is what else has been removed. How did it get removed ...
[10:46] <Dro> geirha, maybe a disk problem!
[10:46] <geirha> sudo apt-get update
[10:46] <Seveas> Dro: then there's an upgrade pending: sudo apt-get install lp-solve
[10:47] <Dro> Seveas, ==> lp-solve is already the newest version.
[10:47] <Seveas> do what geirha said, then try apt-get install lp-solve again
[10:48] <Dro> so i remove it and re-install it?
[10:48] <geirha> oh dear, no
[10:48] <Seveas> no, sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install lp-solve
[10:48] <Dro> I already removed it lol :D
[10:48] <Dro> i tried, apt-get update, then install lp-solve
[10:49] <Dro> but it says that its already installed...
[10:49] <geirha> add --reinstall again
[10:49] <Seveas> how did you remove it?
[10:50] <Dro> sudo apt-get remove lp-solve
[10:50] <Seveas> that'll have removed libreoffice as well :)
[10:50] <geirha> and probably gnome with it
[10:50] <Seveas> pastebin the output of the apt-get remove command
[10:50] <geirha> Hence, "oh dear, no"

[10:51] <Peanut> Hi, good morning. I'm trying to install Ubuntu 15.10 on a new machine with a Samsun 950 M2 SSD. Everything goes well, but it fails to install grub. It tries to install it on /dev/sda, but the name of the device is actually /dev/nvme0n1. I also can't get grub to install from the shell prompt.
[10:51] <Dro> i though its the only solution to reinstall it, since --reinstall won't work :/
[10:52] <DemonJester> Hey
[10:52] <Seveas> you'll need to install all the packages that got removed by that command
[10:52] <Seveas> but first sudo apt-get update
[10:52] <Dro> ok
[10:52] <Seveas> (gotta run, good luck!)
[10:53] <MonkeyDust> Dro  I picked this up in this channel ... save it as 'fixpackages' ... make executable with 'chmod +x fixpackages' ... then run it with './fixpackages' ... http://paste.ubuntu.com/14457055/
[10:55] <geirha> Shouldn't be necessary
[10:55] <Dro> MonkeyDust, ok i'm running it now
[11:26] <g105b> On a fresh install of 15.10, I'm experiencing this issue with kdenlive (reported pre 1.0.0): https://kdenlive.org/forum/no-render-when-adding-title-solved
[11:27] <g105b> Probably a long shot asking here, but I wonder if anyone else has experienced the same issue with video rendering software? No render made, just empty file.
[11:27] <lotuspsychje> g105b: we cant support ppa's sorry
[11:27] <lotuspsychje> g105b: ask the maintainer about this
[11:27] <g105b> oh sorry I thought it was in the main repo.
[11:28] <lotuspsychje> !info kdenlive
[11:28] <MonkeyDust> g105b  that sounds very specific ... if you don't get an answer here, try in #ubuntustudio ... it's multimedia dedicated
[11:28] <lotuspsychje> oh right
[11:28] <g105b> MonkeyDust: thanks, will do
[11:29] <lotuspsychje> hi MonkeyDust
[11:30] <MonkeyDust> hi lotuspsychje
[11:30] <lotuspsychje> g105b: seems like there's a small #kdenlive channel also
[11:30] <chachasmooth> is it always recommended to use make install-strip instead of plain ol' make install?
[11:31] <lotuspsychje> chachasmooth: tell us the full story mate, what are you trying to do?
[11:31] <chachasmooth> building openvpn
[11:31] <chachasmooth> ./configure
[11:32] <chachasmooth> followed by make install{,-strip}
[11:32] <chachasmooth> which to prefer?
[11:32] <aq2> do make before sudo make install
[11:32] <lotuspsychje> chachasmooth: whats wrong with openvpn from repos?
[11:32] <chachasmooth> want to built against libressl
[11:33] <aq2> ./configure; make; sudo make install  <- that works for most programs, not sure about yours.
[11:33] <Peanut> Hi, good morning. I'm trying to install Ubuntu 15.10 on a new machine with a Samsun 950 M2 SSD. Everything goes well, but it fails to install grub. It tries to install it on /dev/sda, but the name of the device is actually /dev/nvme0n1. How could I fix the installer to properly put grub on /dev/nvme0n1 ?
[11:33] <chachasmooth> make install-strip strips the binary, right?
[11:33] <chachasmooth> and why first do make then make install?
[11:34] <chachasmooth> make just builds the binary, but doesn't copy it over?
[11:34] <ROKO__> hello
[11:34] <ROKO__> i need some help...
[11:34] <lotuspsychje> !ask | ROKO__
[11:35] <ROKO__> how can i get work amdgpu driver for my R7 gpu
[11:35] <lotuspsychje> Peanut: singleboot or dualboot?
[11:35] <Peanut> lotuspsychje: single boot, brand new machine.
[11:35] <ROKO__> lotuspsychje, so there is question
[11:35] <lotuspsychje> Peanut: disabled fastboot and secureboot?
[11:35] <Peanut> lotuspsychje: Oww, that's completely new to me, so probably not?
[11:36] <ROKO__> amdgpu_device_initialize: DRM version is 2.43.0 but this driver is only compatible with 3.x.x.
[11:36] <lotuspsychje> Peanut: uefi machine?
[11:36] <ROKO__> from where can i get the new drm 3.0.0 which is required for amdgpu
[11:36] <Peanut> lotuspsychje: yes, UEFI.
[11:36] <lotuspsychje> Peanut: try to find fastboot and secureboot, both needs to be disabled
[11:36] <Peanut> lotuspsychje: where would I find those? In the BIOS?
[11:37] <lotuspsychje> Peanut: correct
[11:37] <lotuspsychje> !uefi | Peanut
[11:37] <ROKO__> ??
[11:37] <lotuspsychje> !patience | ROKO__
[11:38] <lotuspsychje> ROKO__: you can also join #gamingonlinux, they might know best driver for that card
[11:38] <ROKO__> lotuspsychje, i need ubuntu support
[11:38] <ROKO__> for amdgpu driver
[11:39] <ROKO__> i will not play games this is just notebook

[11:40] <ROKO__> R7 M260DX Kaveri which is supported by amdgpu
[11:43] <ROKO__> yeah thanks for excellent support..
[11:43] <lotuspsychje> !patience | ROKO__ second time
[11:44] <ROKO__> lotuspsychje, its not for first time when i asking something here, and waiting 2 - 3 days and more, and i going mad.
[11:44] <ROKO__> so what patience ?
[11:44] <ROKO__> i asked same question 3 days ago
[11:45] <sebokie> hello, I just installed kubuntu and was before on gentoo, can I compile my own kernel using the .config file from Gentoo kernel and use it in Kubuntu? it was a kernel made so that all needed drivers are compiled in kernel and it is booted directly from UEFI bootloader (no initrd or grub)
[11:45] <lotuspsychje> !kernel | sebokie
[11:46] <lotuspsychje> ROKO__: patience means, waiting until volunteers might know the answer for you..there are no wizards here doing magic
[11:46] <mur_> Hi
[11:46] <cfhowlett> Ms. Cleo?
[11:47] <ROKO__> lotuspsychje, 3 days waiting for promised answer
[11:47] <ROKO__> so my patience finished
[11:47] <ROKO__> and asking again
[11:47] <lotuspsychje> ROKO__: this attitude wont get you far here
[11:48] <gordonjcp> ROKO__: if you're not happy you can always ask for your money back
[11:48] <mur_> How can i contact with ubuntu developers?
[11:48] <gordonjcp> mur_: depends what you want to contact them about
[11:48] <cfhowlett> ROKO__, for instant support, you can consider purchasing support from Canonical.  Otherwise, be patient.
[11:48] <lotuspsychje> ROKO__: try the #gamingonlinux channel i suggested you, alot of hardware knowledge there
[11:48] <mur_> Have they email?
[11:48] <gordonjcp> mur_: it's not one small group of people, really
[11:48] <lotuspsychje> mur_: there is a canonical page with contact info
[11:49] <gordonjcp> mur_: is it about the project as a whole, or about a particular package, or what?
[11:49] <cfhowlett> !contribute | mur_
[11:49] <Myrtti> mur_: what are you trying to achieve by emailing them? what is your problem, maybe we could help?
[11:49] <Sageless> How to got a document doubled spaced in Libre office?
[11:50] <ROKO__> lotuspsychje, gamingonlinux will send me here
[11:50] <lotuspsychje> mur_: check this: http://www.canonical.com/services/contact-us
[11:50] <cfhowlett> Sageless, ask #libreoffice
[11:50] <Sageless> Double spaced*
[11:50] <ROKO__> well maybe i will switch to another distro
[11:50] <Sageless> OK,thx
[11:50] <ROKO__> ubuntu support is so bad
[11:50] <cfhowlett> ROKO__, OK then
[11:50] <lotuspsychje> ROKO__: there's no harm asking if they know whats best driver for your card currently
[11:50] <user_8776> Allah is doing
[11:50] <mur_> Myrtti, is not problem. It is little suggestion.
[11:50] <ROKO__> lotuspsychje, i know which driver is best
[11:50] <user_8776> sun is not doing Allah is doing
[11:51] <ROKO__> in gamingonlinux will tell me ask ubuntu for installing
[11:51] <ROKO__> so
[11:51] <user_8776> moon is not doing Allah is doing
[11:51] <gordonjcp> !offtopic | user_8776
[11:51] <user_8776> stars are not doing Allah is doing
[11:51] <bekks> user_8776: Do you have a particular Ubuntu support issue?
[11:51] <lotuspsychje> ROKO__: ok then re-ask your issue here once in a while
[11:51] <user_8776> Planets are not doing Allah is doing
[11:52] <ROKO__> i need this help now
[11:52] <ROKO__> but okay
[11:52] <ROKO__> i will try latter
[11:52] <mur_> It's not place for allah.
[11:53] <gordonjcp> mur_: he'd be better in ##god
[11:53] <cfhowlett> he's gone.  let's go back to our topic: ubuntu support
[11:53] <gordonjcp> mur_: so, yeah, what was your suggestion?
[11:56] <mur_> (in ubuntu application center > progress section) doesn't asking YES/NO when clicking exit.
[11:57] <Sageless> Anyone knows vbox in Ubuntu?
[11:57] <cfhowlett> !vbox | Sageless
[11:58] <Sageless> Why it shows me I can't do this when I am trying to start a virtual machine in vnc?
[11:58] <gordonjcp> mur_: okay, so what to do is look on Launchpad for that, and file a bug against it
[11:58] <cfhowlett> Sageless, this is not vbox support.  ask #vbox
[11:59] <Peanut> lotuspsychje: I've disabled secureboot/fastboot. But I think that's not actually the issue, as I could already boot from USB fine, and install the OS to my Samsung 950. The ONLY issue is that the installer fails in putting grub on the SSD.
[11:59] <Sageless> Thx Orz
[11:59] <lotuspsychje> Peanut: thats weird, you also change from IDE to AHCI?
[12:00] <Peanut> lotuspsychje: No, this is an M2 SSD (EVO 950), so it's not on a SATA port.
[12:00] <lotuspsychje> ah
[12:00] <Peanut> So it shows up as /dev/nvme0n1, but the installer tries to put grub on /dev/sda, which fails. I think /dev/sda at that point is actually the USB that I'm booting from.
[12:00] <lotuspsychje> Peanut: and wich ubuntu version
[12:01] <Peanut> The lastest release, 15.10
[12:02] <gordonjcp> Peanut: remind me, does the installer ask which device to put Grub onto?
[12:02] <cuci> hi guys! I've bought a toshiba satelite and I can't get the wifi to work. rfkill says it's hard blocked and the wifi button only switeches the soft block status
[12:02] <lotuspsychje> Peanut: maybe this can help? http://askubuntu.com/questions/696999/unable-to-install-grub-in-dev-nvme
[12:02] <cuci> how can I disable the hard block?
[12:04] <lotuspsychje> cuci: rfkill unblock all
[12:04] <cuci> lotuspsychje: yeah. that did not worked
[12:05] <lotuspsychje> cuci: you have a weird bios setting 'last state' wifi perhaps?
[12:05] <cuci> no wifi bioos settings; i've checked
[12:07] <lotuspsychje> cuci: what kind of chipset is your wifi
[12:08] <cuci> lotuspsychje: 07:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 3160 (rev cb)
[12:08] <gordonjcp> cuci: has it got on-board ethernet?
[12:08] <cuci> gordonjcp: yes
[12:09] <gordonjcp> cuci: have you got a cable plugged in?
[12:09] <lotuspsychje> cuci: ubuntu version? and up to date?
[12:09] <cuci> gordonjcp: yes this is how I have net
[12:09] <gordonjcp> cuci: try it with the cable unplugged
[12:09] <cuci> lotuspsychje: yup I'm on the latest live cd
[12:10] <gordonjcp> cuci: then, when you find that it now works, go into the BIOS and disable whatever setting tells it to lock out wifi when you've got a cable in
[12:10] <cuci> gordonjcp: I did still nothing
[12:10] <lotuspsychje> cuci: you might need to install, to get latest linux-firmware
[12:10] <cuci> lotuspsychje: nope some other distro gave the same problem
[12:10] <gordonjcp> every bloody Toshiba pulls that stunt
[12:10] <cuci> lotuspsychje: very reproductible on ubuntu
[12:11] <lotuspsychje> cuci: tried on LTS also?
[12:11] <cuci> LTS?
[12:11] <lotuspsychje> !lts | cuci
[12:12] <cuci> nope
[12:12] <lotuspsychje> cuci: could give you more luck, with eth cable plugged in + updates during setup
[12:12] <cuci> but since on magea also reported the same problem I doubt LTS will make a difference
[12:13] <lotuspsychje> cuci: try a live and find out perhaps?
[12:13] <Peanut> lotuspsychje: Yes, I've seen that page. I've managed to manually install grub from the shell that's avaialble during installation. But that still means the installer thinks it failed to install grub, and the end-result is a machine that ends up in the grub rescue. You can get it booting from there, but it's a bit of a challenge...
[12:13] <lotuspsychje> Peanut: well i never installed with nvme myself sorry
[12:15] <lotuspsychje> cuci: maybe this can help also? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2252584&page=2
[12:24] <MestreLion> I've noticed env var `POSIXLY_CORRECT=enabled` is set by cron/anacron whenever I run scripts there, which can break many of my scripts. Where, how and why is it enabled by default???
[12:25] <bekks> MestreLion: I am wonderingy why that would break your scripts.
[12:26] <MestreLion> bekks: bash does not support process substitution when unset POSIXLY_CORRECT is set
[12:27] <bekks> MestreLion: Whats process substition?
[12:27] <MestreLion> bekks: so any scripts using idioms like `while read a b c; do ...; done < <(some commands)` fail miserably

[13:07] <popey> ubuntumaster, please stop poking the bot unnecessarily.
[13:07] <ubuntumaster> Okay
[13:07] <askerMEDIA> i know that ubuntu does support(preinstalled) media codecs like ogg .... what formats are else installed
[13:07] <ubuntumaster> but can you help
[13:07] <popey> ubuntumaster, what's the question?
[13:07] <ubuntumaster> i can't install ubuntu server to Virtual Box
[13:08] <ubuntumaster> purple screen and no more
[13:08] <ubuntumaster> Allocate 512MB RAM
[13:08] <aq2> did you choose ubuntu as the type for the vm?
[13:08] <ubuntumaster> Yes
[13:08] <popey> 512MB isn't a whole lot for Ubuntu.
[13:09] <ubuntumaster> For installing?
[13:09] <popey> which iso are you trying to install?
[13:09] <bekks> aq2: Thats basically irrelevant, since that will just select presets for RAM and HDD space.
[13:09] <ubuntumaster> HDD rom converted from quemu
[13:09] <popey> that's not a standard install then
[13:09] <ubuntumaster> server 12.01 x32
[13:09] <ubuntumaster> install from iso
[13:09] <aq2> bekks: some other things also like PAE support but you're correct, most linux options should support that anyway.
[13:10] <geirha> 12.01 doesn't exist. You mean 12.04?
[13:10] <popey> ubuntumaster, what exactly are you doing, and what happens, please explain in detail rather than 3 word answers
[13:10] <ubuntumaster> yes
[13:11] <ubuntumaster> I boot from iso, i choose "Install server", i wait 1 minuet, i choose language, and... i see puprple screen with white... edit line
[13:12] <ubuntumaster> Oh... i see "Loading additional components", retrieving disk-detect
[13:14] <ubuntumaster> Hey
[13:14] <ubuntumaster> Can you help me?
[13:18] <popey> ubuntumaster, which exact iso are you using?

[13:20] <popey> I see no download option on ubuntu.com for 12.04
[13:20] <popey> (also, why 12.04 and not 14.04?)
[13:20] <ubuntumaster> No, no
[13:20] <ubuntumaster> I download previous releases
[13:20] <ubuntumaster> Download from previous releases
[13:20] <popey> ok
[13:20] <popey> 12.04.5?
[13:21] <popey> again, which iso?
[13:21] <popey> ubuntu-12.04.5-server-amd64.iso or ubuntu-12.04.5-server-i386.iso    or something else?
[13:21] <ubuntumaster> Yes
[13:21] <ubuntumaster> i386
[13:21] <ubuntumaster> 12.04.5
[13:22] <popey> ubuntumaster, what OS is the host? and what version of VirtualBox?

[14:00] <ubuntumaster> such as ctrl alt 0169
[14:00] <SchrodingersScat> There's probably a character combination for fast access.
[14:01] <j09> hey guys, I've just moved over to Ubuntu MATE from Manjaro and I've hit a bit of a problem. My KeePassX2 data base isn't compatible with the KeePassX1 you have in the repos. What's he easiest way to make my database backward compatible?
[14:01] <ubuntumaster> thanks
[14:01] <Hakon> YMMW
[14:02] <ubuntumaster> what is vim-runtime?
[14:02] <ubuntumaster> runtime for small text editor?
[14:03] <n0p3reXx> SchrodingersScat, Hey!
[14:03] <j09> wow there's very little software in the repos compared with arch or Manjaro.
[14:04] <akik> j09: have you tried installing keepass2?
[14:05] <j09> akik i don't want to use keepass2
[14:05] <akik> :(
[14:05] <SchrodingersScat> n0p3reXx: hello
[14:06] <user1_> a test
[14:06] <akik> j09: just saying that it might be compatible with your database file
[14:06] <bekks> j09: compared with arch and manjaro, ther repos contains several time more software than arch or manjaro.
[14:06] <user1_> hola desde kissimmee
[14:07] <j09> bekks it doesn't look like that from here. The ubuntu repos don't even have SimpleScreenRecorder.
[14:08] <bekks> j09: it's available through a PPA - like most of the software for Arch, too.
[14:08] <elmer_> hi
[14:08] <j09> bekks ppas are horribly unstable though.
[14:08] <bekks> j09: As unstable as the use package archives in Arch.
[14:09] <bekks> *user
[14:09] <popey> j09, not all of them
[14:09] <n0p3reXx> SchrodingersScat: I'm tryin' to install GnuPA. I'm havin trouble configuring it. Can you maybe help me out?
[14:09] <SchrodingersScat> !ask | n0p3reXx, and I've never heard of it, better to ask the channel
[14:10] <ubuntumaster> Hi
[14:10] <ubuntumaster> If you want compile lazarus programs to win32
[14:10] <ubuntumaster> install lazarus in wine and open your project, and compile
[14:11] <n0p3reXx> Okay.
[14:11] <j09> bekks not in my experience though
[14:13] <j09> are PPAs on launchpad fine?
[14:15] <SchrodingersScat> !ppa | j09
[14:16] <BluesKaj> j09:  if you heed the warnings, and you have a stable OS for fallback
[14:16] <j09> BluesKaj this is a production machine
[14:16] <S_J> My keyboard is weird. if I press / I get  &. Where do i fix this_
[14:17] <S_J> nevermind, fixed it!
[14:17] <BluesKaj> j09:  best to use stable repos then ..ppas are for testing not production
[14:17] <FlameReaper> j09: generally some official PPA channels for certain software is safe enough for you to add, but that depends on what software you have
[14:17] <j09> wow, this is hard
[14:18] <BluesKaj> yeah , ppas are chancy
[14:18] <FlameReaper> well Krita's PPA is safe enough to add
[14:18] <FlameReaper> basically the more credible the owner of the PPA is the better it is
[14:18] <j09> i shouldn't use the official keepassx because that's not being updated, but for some reason this third party one that isn't to do with the project is?
[14:19] <j09> I'm moving over from Manjaro and I'm worried I'm not going to be able to find working software on Ubuntu.
[14:19] <FlameReaper> if you're talking about this https://launchpad.net/~keepassx/+archive/ubuntu/daily then you probably best heed their advice on the page
[14:19] <akik> j09: for the record, what's your problem with keepass2?
[14:20] <ubuntumaster> How to make iso from my installed distro?
[14:20] <j09> akik that it's A horrible to use, B uses a load of dependencies.
[14:20] <ubuntumaster> e.g make iso backup of my HDD
[14:20] <ubuntumaster> dd
[14:21] <ubuntumaster> dd if=/dev/sda of=backup.iso?
[14:21] <j09> akik tbh i though ubuntu was big enough that i could use most software available for linux on it natively. I think that might not be the case.
[14:21] <bekks> ubuntumaster: No.
[14:21] <akik> j09: from my experience A) works fine B) disk space is cheap
[14:22] <j09> akik top advice there
[14:22] <j09> 214 meg
[14:23] <j09> oh my bad that's with something else on top
[14:23] <akik> yes well it is the .net/mono version
[14:26] <MonkeyDust> j09  what made you switch to ubuntu?
[14:27] <j09> MonkeyDust the instability of Manjaro
[14:28] <j09> but with all these ppas i have to install, i'm not sure i'm making a stability gain
[14:29] <MonkeyDust> j09  true, avoid ppas as much as possible
[14:29] <j09> and i can't export kpbx to kpb files on KeePass2. Brilliant.
[14:29] <akik> is there some kind of method to see if a ppa causes dependency problems?
[14:31] <j09> i'm just surprised how long it takes for software to get into the ubuntu repos and why so much needs to be filled in with ppas
[14:32] <BluesKaj> j09: that's the difference between stable and rolling releases
[14:33] <j09> BluesKaj yeah but when i say long. i'm talking years not months
[14:33] <MonkeyDust> j09  it takes so long, because the software is thoroughly screened and tested
[14:34] <BluesKaj> j09:  that's a FUD
[14:35] <j09> BluesKaj pardon?
[14:36] <popey> lets move on to support rather than comparing distros shall we?
[14:37] <BluesKaj> joar_:  falsehood, fear, uncertainty and doubt, usually evoked intentionally in order to put a competitor at a disadvantage
[14:37] <BluesKaj> j09: ^
[14:37] <j09> BluesKaj i'm not making up problems to annoy you. I promise.
[14:38] <BluesKaj> j09:  no worries, we're here to help , but I'm merely clarifying
[14:40] <j09> So I'm at the stage where I'm trying to get my Keepass2 data into KeePassX but non of the exportable options seems to be compatible with KeepassX
[14:45] <BluesKaj> j09:  I see both KeypassX and Keepass2 in the repos
[14:45] <j09> but not keepassx2
[14:46] <zergut> hey fellas
[14:46] <MonkeyDust> !find keepass
[14:46] <MonkeyDust> !find keypass
[14:46] <zergut> does somebody watch youtube?
[14:47] <MonkeyDust> zergut  that's a yes/no question ... what brings you here
[14:47] <j09> sorry keepass
[14:47] <zergut> couple of questions
[14:47] <zergut> the first one
[14:47] <cfhowlett> zergut, this is ubuntu support for ubuntu questions.  sk
[14:47] <MonkeyDust> zergut  let's hear it, in one line
[14:47] <zergut> who to do it without web interface
[14:47] <zergut> on ubuntu
[14:47] <zergut> MonkeyDust: ok
[14:48] <zergut> i mean any of possible ways and how to watch 60 fps
[14:50] <zergut> so, that's it, i guess
[14:50] <SchrodingersScat> !mpv | zergut
[14:50] <SchrodingersScat> !info mpv | zergut
[14:50] <zergut> a'ight
[14:50] <zergut> then what about 60fps?
[14:52] <zergut> SchrodingersScat: and btw it's only one way to watch it
[14:52] <zergut> is there no more?
[14:53] <SchrodingersScat> You are only limited by your imagination.
[14:53] <j09> vlc does it as well
[14:53] <MonkeyDust> zergut  there's minitube
[14:53] <monod> hi! I have this video problem: with .mp4 files only, VLC opens them but they play with low frame rate and after the first few seconds the image freezes to one frame while the audio still plays perferctly. Any guesses?
[14:53] <boxmein> does the lightdm ubuntu greeter these days let me pick a window manager?
[14:54] <cfhowlett> monod, ask #vlc ?
[14:54] <monod> Ok cfhowlett
[14:55] <j09> is dropbox no longer in the repos?
[14:55] <zergut> MonkeyDust: thank you, didnt know about that
[14:55] <cfhowlett> !find dropbox
[14:56] <j09> so no
[14:56] <cfhowlett> j09, dropbox was never in the repos.  the plugins were/are
[14:58] <solvarr> what is this !find command for?
[14:58] <j09> oh
[15:00] <MonkeyDust> solvarr  to find out, if a package is in the repos
[15:00] <zergut> SchrodingersScat: how to check in mpv bitrate and fps?
[15:00] <zengxiangao> bye
[15:00] <zengxiangao> goodnight
[15:00] <solvarr> and where do i use the command?

[15:03] <boxmein> MonkeyDust: that wall of text is my dmesg yelling at me
[15:05] <zergut> #mpv
[15:05] <alex_> hello
[15:05] <zzz> Hello
[15:06] <razzy> hi there
[15:06] <alex_> china
[15:06] <alex_> 忙 什么
[15:06] <boxmein> on another note
[15:06] <cfhowlett> !cn | alex
[15:06] <boxmein> can I tell my login prompt to let me pick a window manager
[15:06] <alex_> yes  china
[15:07] <alex_> where are you
[15:07] <MonkeyDust> boxmein  yes, lightdm remembers your last choice
[15:07] <cfhowlett> alex_, this is ubuntu support.  chit chat elsewhere please or ask your ubuntu questions
[15:07] <j09> i've still made no progress on my issue
[15:08] <boxmein> MonkeyDust: no but where do i find the thing that lets me even choose
[15:08] <MonkeyDust> j09  repeat your issue every 15 minutes or so, in one line, until someone enters, who can help
[15:08] <j09> MonkeyDust people were helping, i think they got bored though.
[15:08] <razzy> Hello guys. I have got a bit of a problem. I put ubuntu in sleep mode without logging it and when I resume it asks for a password. I'm using lightdm
[15:08] <MonkeyDust> boxmein  logout, find a little symbol next to your login name ... of course, you have to install the DM, firs
[15:09] <MonkeyDust> j09  or there's no way to do what you want
[15:09] <boxmein> MonkeyDust: eh, what does installing mean in this context?
[15:09] <Murii> How do I install PopcornTime ?
[15:09] <boxmein> MonkeyDust: i have an xmonad source installation thing that I can startx into
[15:09] <MonkeyDust> boxmein  e.g. suo apt install lubuntu-desktop    <-- example
[15:09] <j09> MonkeyDust Why i want to do is quite simple. I just want to convert a keepass2 database to a keepass1 database
[15:10] <boxmein> MonkeyDust: yea, I know how apt works :P
[15:10] <boxmein> it's just
[15:10] <boxmein> where does lightdm list the available WMs from
[15:10] <MonkeyDust> boxmein  in   /usr/share/xsessions/
[15:13] <j09> this is breaking me
[15:15] <MonkeyDust> j09  use this to find more info, in terms of who to contact etc    apt-cache show keepass2
[15:19] <akik> j09: there's export functionality in keepass2 to export a keepass kdb (1.x) file
[15:19] <j09> i don't understand why this is so difficult. i really don't. I though ubuntu was supposed to be easy.
[15:19] <j09> akik that only works on the windows version
[15:19] <j09> akik i tried running the windows version throug wine. no luck.
[15:19] <akik> j09: keepass2 on ubuntu is the .net version
[15:19] <j09> akik yes?
[15:20] <akik> j09: /usr/bin/cli /usr/lib/keepass2/KeePass.exe
[15:20] <alex_> chexchat  free ?
[15:20] <MonkeyDust> alex_  you're in the wrong channel
[15:21] <j09> akik please could you explain
[15:21] <akik> j09: ah ok i see what you mean. export is not working on linux with the .net version
[15:22] <MonkeyDust> sounds like a keepass bug, then
[15:22] <j09> it's not a bug, it's just not being able to do something reasonable simple. Keepassx can't even import csv files
[15:25] <j09> it's not like there's a lot of documentation either
[15:26] <hadvidub> anybody in here?
[15:26] <MonkeyDust> hadvidub  no
[15:26] <cfhowlett> nope
[15:26] <MonkeyDust> hadvidub  type /names
[15:26] <hadvidub> i noticed :)
[15:26] <j09> do none of you use keepassx then?
[15:27] <Muh2> Hi, is there a way to run a javascript file by just typing its name on the terminal?
[15:27] <MonkeyDust> Muh2  javascript is an 'extension' to html
[15:28] <MonkeyDust> Muh2  javascript doesnt live on its own (java does)
[15:28] <Muh2> MonkeyDust: since there is Nodejs I was wondering whether I can do "myjavascript.js" instead of "nodejs myjavascript.js"
[15:29] <Muh2> meaning that the terminal should figure it out that nodejs is needed to run the javascript
[15:31] <geirha> Muh2: yes, just set the shebang like any other script
[15:31] <geirha> E.g. #!/usr/bin/env nodejs or #!/usr/bin/nodejs
[15:31] <geirha> And drop the extension for commands
[15:32] <Muh2> geirha: thanks.
[15:33] <linux-d02> hey
[15:33] <geirha> If you want to be able to run it without supplying a path, put it in ~/bin/ (for your use only) or /usr/local/bin/ (for everyone to run)
[15:33] <linux-d02> Got a XUBUNTU fresh install that's pissing me off

[15:35] <Skyrider> How exactly do I select my HDMI TV as "primary" monitor in ubuntu? 15.10.
[15:35] <alex_> bcm  or pi ?
[15:35] <Skyrider> And disable the screen on the laptop.. using open source drivers for ATI
[15:35] <Skyrider> The display settings isn't very useful, almost everything is gray, including mirror.
[15:35] <EriC^^> Skyrider: xrandr
[15:36] <MonkeyDust> Skyrider  arandr is a GUI for xrandr
[15:36] <EriC^^> Skyrider: if you click on the display, you can't select off below it?
[15:36] <Skyrider> For what exactly?
[15:36] <Skyrider> MIrror?
[15:37] <Skyrider> build-in display on/off = gray
[15:37] <Skyrider> resolution is set to 1 resolution (1152x864), can't change that
[15:38] <Skyrider> rotation, only normal available. launcher placement, also only build-in display. Sticky edges. set to on.
[15:38] <Skyrider> And mirror display, also gray
[15:39] <Skyrider> Package xrandr is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[15:39] <Skyrider> can install arandr though.

[16:01] <hp_> Hi
[16:01] <linux-d02> hi hp
[16:01] <zergut> is it possible to watch 720p60fps from youtube not through webinterface on ubuntu?
[16:03] <juliohm> Happy new year! Has anyone tried Ubuntu on the Surface Pro 4?
[16:03] <juliohm> What is your experience with the device?
[16:03] <linux-d02> juliohm you question should be HAS ANYONE BRICKED their SurfacePro 4?
[16:04] <zergut> linux-d02: :D
[16:04] <juliohm> linux-d02, what do you mean?
[16:04] <zergut> evil guy
[16:05] <linux-d02> what would be the motivation to install ubuntu on Surface pro 4?
[16:05] <juliohm> I'm planning a dual boot, I need Linux to develop and Windows to enjoy the pen
[16:05] <linux-d02> you want to DEVELOP on SurfacePRO????
[16:06] <juliohm> linux-d02, yes, why not?
[16:06] <linux-d02> why dont you SSH from windows
[16:06] <k1l> linux-d02: juliohm please drop that chat to #ubuntu-offtopic . we try to focus on actual technical support in here
[16:06] <juliohm> k1l, how is this question off-topic?
[16:06] <juliohm> I'm asking about other users experience installing Ubuntu on a device
[16:07] <linux-d02> K1l I've BEEN trying to get help with my WIRELESS rtl8187b for about 20 minutes...
[16:07] <juliohm> linux-d02, why SSH when you have a decent hardware?
[16:07] <linux-d02> and now youre BARKING at us for discussing the install of ubuntu on SURFACE PRO 4?
[16:07] <juliohm> Anyways, you don't have experience nor an answer to my question, thanks.
[16:08] <k1l> juliohm: that a user got the exact same hardware in here and is online right now is unlikely. better see something like forums or the surface pro community.
[16:08] <juliohm> k1l, I'm looking at it too, thanks
[16:09] <linux-d02> k1l SO that means I would be MORE LIKELY to find another CHANNEL DEDICATED TO Fresh Install issues with RTL8187b ???
[16:11] <k1l> linux-d02: stop making a drama. this channel is for support only. we have another channel for chatting. if you dont want to or cant deal with this like its written in the channel guidelines then maybe rethink using this channel.
[16:11] <zergut> what is rtl8187b?
[16:12] <linux-d02> RTL8187b is a Realtek wifi internal adapter on TOSHIBA SATELLITE
[16:13] <linux-d02> RTL8187b is REFUSING to work on a fresh install
[16:13] <zergut> dude, i've never worked with satellites, you better ask NASA
[16:14] <linux-d02> ohhh THATS funny i'm Glad my Hardware issues are a source of amuzement for you zergut - jackass
[16:14] <MonkeyDust> linux-d02  behave or leave the channel
[16:16] <linux-d02> MonkeyDust and K1l    I would be delighted to LEAVE if this Support Channel would ACTUALLY offer SUPPORT... and not WHITTY bs from zergut
[16:16] <geirha> MonkeyDust: You may want to configure your irc client so it doesn't join before the cloak is enabled
[16:17] <EriC^^> !samba
[16:21] <demon> ciao a tutti
[16:26] <zergut> linux-d02: sorry dude, didnt get what do you mean
[16:26] <boxmein> can I just kill compiz if I want to go without a compositor for a little bit?
[16:26] <boxmein> just to see if tf2/games run better
[16:27] <boxmein> because I get very low performance on all games even with PRIME enabled to use the dedicated graphics card
[16:27] <boxmein> and I can't for the life of me figure out why
[16:30] <ToBeOneCannotBe> hello
[16:32] <j09> my qt apps have taken to looking different to my gtk ones, how can i reverse this?
[16:32] <j09> ,y qt apps looked nice when the distro was first installed
[16:34] <j09> i honestly did not expect to have so many things I'd need to fix out of the box with Ubuntu Mate
[16:36] <Guest17181> can someon help me with a clonezilla problem?  it uses -z with partclone but partclone doesn't support -z on the version I have.  System says I have the latest version and if I download a later one it won't install because libntfs-3g853 is not there.  aarg
[16:36] <j09> i don't see why vlc still uses some defaut qt theme. This never ahppens on other distros
[16:37] <cfhowlett> j09, take it up with vlc.  not an ubuntu issue.
[16:38] <j09> cfhowlett what about all the other qt apps?
[16:38] <bobf> can someone help me with a clonezilla problem?  it uses -z with partclone but partclone doesn't support -z on the version I have.  apt-get says I have the latest version and if I download a later one it won't install because libntfs-3g853 is not there and apt-get on ntfs-3g says it's also at the latest version.  aarg
[16:39] <noelia> Hello everyone
[16:39] <cfhowlett> !patience | bobf,
[16:39] <noelia> I'm having a problem when trying to give conditional formatting to a chart in LibreOffice Calc.
[16:40] <ToBeOneCannotBe> is it possible to use another DE instead of Unity?
[16:40] <cfhowlett> ToBeOneCannotBe, absolutely
[16:40] <cfhowlett> !flvors | ToBeOneCannotBe
[16:40] <cfhowlett> !flavors | ToBeOneCannotBe
[16:41] <ToBeOneCannotBe> cfhowlett: got what you mean, but can i like change it on already installed system?
[16:42] <testingever> hi can i migrate successfully a dhcpd.leases file from old server to new server ubuntu and work correctly
[16:42] <testingever> please help
[16:42] <cfhowlett> ToBeOneCannotBe, yes.  sudo apt install lxde xfce4 will grab two DE's.  logout, choose DE session, login.
[16:42] <ToBeOneCannotBe> cfhowlett: thank you
[16:42] <cfhowlett> you can do this with all the DE's, but I don't know their proper package names
[16:42] <testingever> anyone know
[16:42] <cfhowlett> !server | testingever
[16:42] <testingever> please
[16:43] <ToBeOneCannotBe> cfhowlett: mind if i ask< are you using Unity?
[16:43] <j09> oh wonderful, two suprise crashes on top of this. first impressions of ubuntu are really not good
[16:43] <robotdevil1> is anyone else getting random freezes. like the entire desktop? I thnk it do to chrome and variants. On 14.04 and nouveau. Windows boots never freezes
[16:43] <ducasse> j09: in the package qt4-qtconfig there is a util to set the default theme for Qt apps, set it to GTK+
[16:43] <testingever> havent got any info regarding it while googling
[16:43] <cfhowlett> ToBeOneCannotBe, never.  ubuntustudio = xubuntu + multimedia packages
[16:43] <robotdevil1> cant even kill xserver
[16:47] <geirha> the graphics card driver is the most likely culprit for such freezes
[16:48] <garrettr> Is there a policy for backporting changes from the current stable ca-certificates package to the LTS version of the same package?
[16:49] <robotdevil1> geirha: if I stay on firefox it hasnt happned thus far
[16:50] <bobf> OK, does anyone know what "partclone can't save output to stdout with ncurses interface" is telling me?  I'm trying to run the command that clonezilla would run without -z (which is just buffer size setting)
[16:50] <MonkeyDust> geirha  tnx for the cloak tip
[16:50] <user> hi
[16:51] <zykotick9> bobf: it "sounds" like it's trying to output to stdout (screen) instead of a file/partition...
[16:51] <robotdevil1> also is there a half easy cli coammnd to logout of ubuntu yet?
[16:51] <ado> what is the best programing language for a beginner
[16:52]  * robotdevil1 seems to remember this being somewhat troublesome
[16:52] <bobf> ado: to do what?
[16:52] <MonkeyDust> robotdevil1  sudo service lightdm stop
[16:52] <cfhowlett> ado, ask in #programming  ?
[16:53] <robotdevil1> MonkeyDust: from within the DE?
[16:55] <ado> bobf am interested in mechanical simulation n robotics
[16:57] <ado> bobf... r u there
[17:01] <dmcc> Does anyone have any idea why the Arc theme doesnt show up as a theme option on 15.10?
[17:08] <bobf_> well I managed to manually use partclone to create my image, but clonezilla aborts on trying to restore with the same -z issue but doesn't tell me the command used this time, so I can't restore by hand.  any ideas?
[17:08] <Guest7600> i am using ubuntu 14.04 i want to copy packages to the root folder (var/cache/apt/archives) that i downloaded manually, but i cant find the root file explorer
[17:09] <MonkeyDust> Guest7600  use   sudo mv filename /var/cache/apt/archives/
[17:14] <Guest7600> ok monkeydust, i am used to ubuntu 11.04 where there was a root nautils, but i dnt think zer is in this earlier versions
[17:16] <sopadj1> hi guys... is there anyone that could help me on finding out if this laptop is supported by ubuntu? http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/computing/laptops/laptops/hp-pavilion-15-ab254sa-15-6-laptop-white-10137891-pdt.html HP Pavilion 15-ab254sa . I have search in internet but I couldnt find a good answer.thanks!
[17:17] <Guest89108> sure giimme a minute
[17:17] <jdwwatts> yes
[17:17] <jdwwatts> it is
[17:18] <Guest89108> the laptop works but make sure it does not have a secureboot or crazy locked up bios so it becomes hard to install new os
[17:18] <jdwwatts> I have it on one xubuntu
[17:18] <Guest89108> Other hardwares seem to work fine
[17:19] <sopadj1> jdwwatts, how can you be sure? ah ok, I use xubuntu as well as my main OS so if you are telling me that is works I buy it :) I found it at 400 pounds.
[17:20] <sopadj1> Guest89108, is that easily done by entering the bios?
[17:20] <gbll> why dont you try Purism or System 76 ones they are  built to run linux sopadj1
[17:20] <sopadj1> gbll, because of the price, more expensive
[17:20] <gbll> ok thats fine
[17:20] <jdwwatts> Like the other guy said though you may need to go into the bois and tell it where to boot
[17:22] <gbll> yes you can do it if know how to do it well coz you dont want to mess up the bios
[17:22] <sopadj1> jdwwatts, I dont have any experiences with secureboot and similar.
[17:22] <jdwwatts> i found it to work much better than the original windows that came with it
[17:23] <sopadj1> gbll, I never had to deal with secureboot I neither I am a noob in this things, so if it is something normal to do that is fine for me
[17:23] <sopadj1> I am using my lenovo thinkpad z61t since 10 years, never a problem at all, but now I am thinking to upgrade my laptop a bit ^^
[17:23] <jdwwatts> when you power up it tells you how to get into the bios
[17:24] <gbll> ok what about Dell Xps 13 ? my friend has it and runs smoothly
[17:25] <jdwwatts> its fairly simple everything works with key strokes
[17:25] <gbll> yes then its fine go ahead
[17:26] <sopadj1> jdwwatts, gbll because of the price, that HP here http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/computing/laptops/laptops/hp-pavilion-15-ab254sa-15-6-laptop-white-10137891-pdt.html seems to be cheaper, powerful, and I think I can buy it even in the pc world next to my house so
[17:27] <sopadj1> jdwwatts, so if you say that you have the same model with xubuntu (my OS) I go ahead and buy it :D
[17:29] <jdwwatts> i downloaded ubutin and put xubunu on a usb drive then went into the bios and set the boot seqence to usb  and everything else was pretty much automatic
[17:31] <S_J> how do i search on my computer for a file named gdx.jar?

[17:35] <patachu> that is the question
[17:35] <patachu> Idle0ne : nice one, might delete system32 too
[17:35] <IdleOne> patachu: no it will delete the lock file and allow you to update
[17:36] <IdleOne> We don't give fake help in here.
[17:36] <jdwwatts> Pachu I think I would start all over
[17:36] <patachu> note: i booted in rescue mode and opened a root shell
[17:37] <S_J> how do i search on my computer for a file named gdx.jar?
[17:37] <patachu> filesystem is in read only man
[17:37] <patachu> if you don't know it's fine, i'll install XP on this machine.
[17:38] <jdwwatts> did you save and reinstall the whole thing
[17:38] <patachu> s_j : open my computer and search in the root file system
[17:38] <patachu> you will find it
[17:39] <patachu> that's how i'd do it
[17:39] <patachu> i know there's a command that allows the / to be mounted in r/w mode but i wonder what it os
[17:39] <patachu> (*is)_
[17:40] <sopadj1> jdwwatts, thanks for your help
[17:40] <jdwwatts> np
[17:41] <patachu> anyone else?
[17:41] <lilith_corp> J_S with the ls command. try to change directory with cd / and then type ls -al -R gdx.jar
[17:42] <lilith_corp> look ls --help to understand how the syntax is build
[17:42] <lilith_corp> and which flags to set
[17:44] <patachu> okay let
[17:44] <patachu> 's start from zero : i had a driver issues with this computer here which got an nvidia card. and a inadequate resolution for the screen
[17:45] <patachu> i installed the new nvidia driver it seems and after the reboot, >loading screen >black scren . monitor shutdowns
[17:45] <patachu> i rebooted to safe mode using the grub option
[17:46] <patachu> now i'm on a root shell and cant even remove the nvidia driver or install the nouveau thing
[17:46] <patachu> what's with these unfinished "free" drivers anyways?
[17:47] <geirha> lilith_corp: That doesn't do what you expect
[17:47] <patachu> note: the PC is for a friend who would like to try Linux, but at this point i don't think it is a good idea seeing how problematic it gets
[17:47] <Bashing-om> patachu: Just joined the channel, so no background info on your situation . If it werre me I would want to know what display driver(s) are installed and IF any is loaded . what returns ' sudo lshw -C display ; dpkg -l | grep nvidia ' .
[17:48] <patachu> Bashing-om: it's not like i know these commands instinctively man
[17:49] <Bashing-om> patachu: We know .. if you knew these commands , you would not need guidance . we are here to help ..  I'd go with locate or find, no ls or grep
[17:53] <patachu> geirha: whatever works.
