[00:00] <lordcirth> bytefire_, the one that starts with 'DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE' ?
[00:00] <bytefire_> lordcirth: how to update /etc/grub.d/?
[00:00] <bytefire_> lordcirth: i guess so
[00:01] <lordcirth> bytefire_, you make a copy of  /etc/grub.d/40_custom and edit your settings in there.
[00:01] <bytefire_> lordcirth: i see
[00:01] <lordcirth> copy it to, say, 09_custom if you want it to be first.
[00:01] <whitepeter> (clear
[00:04] <bytefire_> lordcirth: so just for my understanding, if `linux` and `initrd` are set correctly in /boot/grub.cfg then it should be able to boot the right kernel?
[00:06] <lordcirth> bytefire_, yes.  But /boot/grub/grub.cfg is generated from the settings in /etc/grub.d and /etc/defaults/grub everytime you update.
[00:06] <ShinyShoes> hello?!
[00:06] <bytefire_> lordcirth: i see
[00:07] <lordcirth> ShinyShoes, hi
[00:08] <whim> sigh
[00:08] <ShinyShoes> hey lordcirth! can you help me with my question please?
[00:08] <ShinyShoes> ShinyShoes> Noob here, getting hash mismatch error while updating my repos, deleting /var/lib/apt/lists/* won't fix...any suggestions?
[00:08] <ShinyShoes> i'd appreciate if someone could help me fix this
[00:08] <lordcirth> ShinyShoes, 16.04?
[00:09] <ShinyShoes> 14.04 LTS
[00:10] <elijah> debkad: thanks
[00:10] <debkad> elijah: no problem
[00:11] <lordcirth> ShinyShoes, also try 'apt-get clean' and then update
[00:11] <ShinyShoes> okay, i'll try that as well
[00:11] <Bashing-om> ShinyShoes: Maube a fault in your mirror ? Maybe wait a spell and see if the mirror syncs up with mother .. or change your mirror ?
[00:12] <lordcirth> Yes, the next thing to try would be switching mirrors
[00:12] <ShinyShoes> still getting error after cleaning
[00:13] <ShinyShoes> this could be the mirror problem, you're right
[00:13] <ShinyShoes> let me change that, thanks for the clue
[00:18] <bytefire_> lordcirth: it still doesn't make sense why the kernel doesn't boot properly on my machine when grub/cfg points to correct image and initrd
[00:18] <bytefire_> grub.cfg**
[00:19] <bytefire_> lordcirth: i have't called grub-update
[00:20] <bytefire_> i'll try and get the exact error this time
[00:21] <zxc_> How do you find and open a file in the same command?
[00:21] <zxc_> That is, in the Terminal.
[00:23] <nacc> zxc_: files themselves don't open -- you open them with something
[00:23] <nacc> zxc_: if you mean to emulate what happens in nautilus, you probaby want `xdg-open`
[00:24] <zxc_> What I want to do is open a music file, using MPV.
[00:24] <zxc_> Piping doesn't seem to work, however.
[00:25] <nacc> zxc_: mpv /path/to/file ?
[00:25] <zxc_> It's deep in the filesystem, however.
[00:25] <nacc> zxc_: what is?
[00:25] <Guest0000001> Hi. Ubuntu 16.04 server. Why did Canonical make the default ethernet names like enp0s25? Where can I read up on the changes and the how any why behind it?
[00:25] <nacc> zxc_: and why does that matter?
[00:25] <zxc_> The audio file.
[00:26] <zxc_> I have to type out the directory every time.
[00:26] <zxc_> I'm thinking of just locating it and then using MPV to open it
[00:27] <Bashing-om> Guest0000001: explanation: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames/ .
[00:27] <nacc> zxc_: not sure i follow -- of course you would have to know where the file is to open it
[00:27] <Guest0000001> Bashing-om, ty!
[00:27] <nacc> zxc_: do you not control how your files are created?
[00:28] <nacc> zxc_: oh you mean you want to do `locate ... | mpv` ?
[00:28] <zxc_> I do, but it's in a lot of subfolders.
[00:28] <zxc_> That's what I tried.
[00:28] <nacc> zxc_: dunno if mpv supports that, you should read its manpage
[00:28] <zxc_> Would VLC?
[00:29] <nacc> zxc_: you would to read the manpage, i dont' know
[00:29] <zxc_> Well okay, thanks.
[00:34] <bytefire_> lordcirth: on booting the compiled kernel i get this message which says "unable to find root device" ... and then UUID of partition.
[00:34] <bytefire_> but the older kernel uses same UUID and it boots fine
[00:35] <fels> hi All  -  help... !  I know nothing about this and an screwed as the guy who normally does thsi is awol -  I need to setup mapping for nginx
[00:36] <redface> When Is It Better to Use #!/bin/bash Instead of #!/bin/sh in a Shell Script?
[00:37] <nacc> redface: when you depend on bash's features?
[00:37] <nacc> redface: only use /bin/sh if you are strictly posix
[00:37] <fels> I 've mapped it according to a link i found but its' not honouring the mapping . please help!!!
[00:40] <fels> someone must know .. :?
[00:40] <OerHeks> fels, you might want to reask in #ubuntu-server , but if you know nothing about nginx/your system, good luck
[00:41] <fels> OerHeks: Thanks -
[00:41] <fels> OerHeks: are they brutal to newbies :)
[00:43] <OerHeks> fels yes, they might suggest to get prof help if this is too heavy for volunteers.
[00:44] <fels> from what i can tell in the guide I am following its easy - jus tnot sure why its  not working and not sure what i can do t debug and trace to find hte issue -
[00:49] <mikubuntu> is this the sort of thing that would/could alert you to a hack or attack on your system? :: (and if so, are there any similar tools that work with a gui?) :: https://www.loggly.com/ultimate-guide/analyzing-linux-logs/
[00:53] <tomreyn> mikubuntu: graylog

[01:33] <pipegeek> does anyone know if it's possible to configure the options that are used when automounting filesystems on stock ubuntu?
[01:34] <pipegeek> I've been looking for ages and the more I look the more it looks like the only option is to edit the hardcoded filesystem options in udisks2 and recompile, which is very obnoxious

[01:46] <mikubuntu> so i've never used a virtual machine, and i wanted to try OSSIM, which suggests installing on Virtual Box, which doesn't show up in lubuntu software center, but Gnome Boxes does. is it a suitable VM for installing OSSIM?
[01:54] <lordcirth> mikubuntu, gnome boxes doesn't have a lot of features, though it should work.  Just install virtualbox with apt.
[01:58] <[_]`> anychance anyone can tell me exactly what to apt-get for this please? 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK107M [GeForce GT 750M] (rev a1)

[02:07] <mikubuntu> lordcirth: thx, so you think virtualbox better than gnome boxes i think you're saying
[02:07] <lordcirth> mikubuntu, yes, also your software recommends it
[02:07] <ThePotato> hey i know your not supposed to come her for a different distro but whenever i connect to the internet it works for like 2 mintues and then it goes out
[02:07] <ThePotato> whenever i join back, it just stops working at all
[02:07] <mikubuntu> lordcirth: ok, going in
[02:08] <lordcirth> ThePotato, most distros have their own channels
[02:08] <mikubuntu> lordcirth: sudo apt-get install virtualbox ?
[02:08] <lordcirth> !alis | ThePotato
[02:08] <tgm4883> ThePotato: If you know you aren't supposed to come here, then why did you?
[02:08] <lordcirth> mikubuntu, yes
[02:08] <ThePotato> because the other chat is broked
[02:08] <mikubuntu> lordcirth: got it
[02:09] <ThePotato> for the distro
[02:09] <[_]`> ThePotato: you sure its the distro and not your router ?

[02:35] <Lehthanis> I need some help with hosts and postfix/ptr record settings...my ptr record is mydomain.com but my postfix myhostname setting is servername.mydomain.com and my hosts file lists the ip address as servername.mydomain.com also.
[02:36] <Lehthanis> its a web server that hosts multiple domains...so do I need to change my ptr record to servername.mydomain.com or change my hosts file to remove the servername?
[02:36] <Lehthanis> I'm so confused
[02:37] <lordcirth> Lehthanis, you might want to ask in #ubuntu-server
[02:38] <Guest63015> does anyone know how to setup minidnla with an external hard drive?
[02:38] <Lehthanis> ahhh...
[02:40] <lordcirth> Guest63015, you edit the config file and give it the path to your hard drive

[03:00] <aaron124> hello?
[03:00] <aaron124> I am trying to create a lightweight linux system that will boot over the network (via PXE) and simply output in the shell the system specifications of the computer it is running on. I don't need to boot to the desktop at all.
[03:01] <orlock> aaron124: run your tool instead of initrd might do it
[03:02] <aaron124> oh really?
[03:02] <aaron124> How do I run it instead of initrd?
[03:03] <aaron124> In my pxelinux.0 config
[03:03] <aaron124> I have the kernel and initrd setup
[03:03] <aaron124> I just want to run a package called "dmidecode"
[03:03] <orlock> change init= to be /bin/bash - but i would test it manually instead of via pxe to start
[03:04] <orlock> aaron124: are you familiar with booting into single user or rescue mode?
[03:04] <aaron124> okay i already have my script ready to go its a bash script and it works as long as the dmidecode package is installed
[03:05] <aaron124> single user i think
[03:05] <orlock> you hit the button when grub appears and change your boot options
[03:05] <somethingrandom> anyone know if there's a way to mount the root file system of an iphone that isn't jailbroken on 16.04?  tech backed up pics from 15.04 to the root directory on a remote client and after updating it's inaccessible
[03:05] <orlock> and set init=/bib/bash
[03:05] <eirikeirikeirik> Hi. How would I write a chown cmd that would recursively go through a directory and it's subdirectories and set owner/group to files ending with a specific file extension and only those?
[03:05] <orlock> or in your case, init=/usr/bin/dmidecode
[03:06] <aaron124> okay your talking about when the live cd is booting
[03:07] <aaron124> i shoudl choose single user mode?
[03:07] <orlock> well, livecd, from hard drive or pxe, it should not matter specifically in the end
[03:07] <orlock> but just for testing whether this method would work
[03:07] <aaron124> okay im going to look for the button
[03:08] <aaron124> I dont see any button actually, i get right to the main ubuntu login
[03:08] <orlock> just change the boot options when you get the grub prompt
[03:08] <aaron124> I see guest session or my user login
[03:09] <aaron124> im running ubuntu desktop 16.04 on a virtual machine and not seeing any grub prompts

[03:59] <SonikkuAmerica> Bashing-om: (( Pro forma note: An Ubuntu install of any sort will come with all the systemd services necessary for the system to function as a desktop or server OS enabled by default. ))
[03:59] <fishcooker> what kind of it hunterg_
[04:01] <Bashing-om> SonikkuAmerica: While true in the full install and in user space . BUT we are now at a recovrey root shell . It is at your descretion what servies are enabled . Boot rcovery and see for yourself .
[04:01] <SonikkuAmerica> (( Ah, we're in a root shell here. I see. ))

[04:24] <galvezjj> hi all I just upgraded a 14.04 machine to 16.04 and now it crashes everytime I try to login
[04:25] <apb1963_> galvezjj, Define "crashes".  ubuntu crashes and you have to power-out reset?  Or something else.
[04:26] <galvezjj> apb1963_: I see the system crash window and then it goes right back to the login screen
[04:27] <apb1963_> It sounds like the display manager is crashing?
[04:27] <apb1963_> i.e. login manager
[04:28] <galvezjj> apb1963_: sounds about right, just not sure how to trouble shoot to fix it
[04:28] <apb1963_> galvezjj, check the logs
[04:29] <apb1963_> galvezjj,  try ls -ltr /var/log and see what's at the bottom of the list.
[04:29] <galvezjj> apb1963_: looking at the crash log, it looks like gnome-shell is crashing
[04:29] <galvezjj> apb1963_: ok I'll try that command
[04:29] <apb1963_> darn gnomes

[04:41] <digimer> Hi all, I'm trying to adapt a script I wrote on Fedora to work on Ubuntu, but I've hit a snag I was hoping I could ask for help with here.
[04:41] <digimer> https://paste.fedoraproject.org/468016/raw/
[04:41] <digimer> I am trying to extract a file from an ISO, but it is throwing that error above
[04:42]  * digimer is not too familiar with ubuntu, so might be missing something obvious
[04:42] <digimer> that above was run as a normal user, not as root or via sudo, in case it matters
[04:43] <digimer> (in fact, I am using iso-read to avoid needing to gain higher access)
[04:43] <Bray90820>  So my cherrytrail surface 3 freezes anytime I watch videos on ubuntu 16.10 and there are a bunch of DMESG errors
[04:43] <Bray90820> http://pastebin.com/raw/U22UbDqr
[04:46] <linxeh> digimer: can you paste the output of ls -al /home/alteeve/Downloads/CentOS-6.8-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso ?
[04:46] <DocPlatypus> Is there any way to get ssh-askpass to ask for TOTP verification codes? I added TOTP verification, and I'm now trying to un-break gvfs-mount access to SFTP
[04:47] <digimer> -rw-r--r-- 1 alteeve alteeve 3.7G May 26 00:43 /home/alteeve/Downloads/CentOS-6.8-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso
[04:47] <digimer> sorry, that was -lah
[04:47] <linxeh> digimer: that's fine
[04:47] <linxeh> digimer: are you logged in as alteeve ?
[04:47] <digimer> yup
[04:47] <bonzibuddy> hey folks
[04:48] <digimer> my script tries to extract the files from the ISO without mounting it so that it doesn't need escalated privs
[04:48] <DocPlatypus> bonzibuddy: nice nick... nostalgic for old Windows spyware much? :-)
[04:48] <bonzibuddy> my boot is hanging on eth1 waiting for ipv6.... but i dont have that listed in /etc/network/interfaces, nor networkmanager, to autostart
[04:48] <digimer> if I sudo or mount the ISO loopback, then I don't need to muck with iso-read :)
[04:48] <linxeh> digimer: ok, are you able to mount that iso using loopback? eg auso mount -t loop /home/alteeve/Downloads/CentOS-6.8-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso /some/directory
[04:48] <linxeh> sirushti: yah, I got that :)
[04:48] <linxeh> err
[04:48] <digimer> I'll verify, but my script md5sums the ISOs to verify they're good before starting
[04:48] <linxeh> digimer: yah, I got that :)
[04:48] <bonzibuddy> where else could it be trying to intialize eth0??  (said eth1 earlier, meant eth0)
[04:48] <digimer> one sec, will verify I can mount loopback...
[04:49] <bonzibuddy> DocPlatypus: ;)
[04:49] <digimer> mounted loopback no prob
[04:49] <galvezjj> apb1963_: looks like it was the nvidia driver, I purged it and now it's running again
[04:50] <linxeh> digimer: you know centos 7.2 is out right? :)
[04:50] <linxeh> (and that 6.8 isn't supported)
[04:50] <digimer> linxeh: yes
[04:50] <linxeh> just checking :)
[04:50] <digimer> linxeh: certain things we need aren't stable enough for our liking on EL7 yet
[04:51] <digimer> anyway, being ubuntu, I suspect that's not an on-topic discussion :)
[04:51] <linxeh> digimer: I take it /home/alteeve/anvil/CentOS/source/Packages/ exists ?
[04:52] <digimer> yup
[04:52] <linxeh> Ubuntu 16.04 ?
[04:52] <digimer> yup
[04:53] <digimer> actually, what's the ubuntu version of /etc/redhat-release ?
[04:53]  * digimer is an ubuntu noob :)
[04:53] <linxeh> echo `lsb_release -a`
[04:53] <linxeh> well you dont need the whole echo thing
[04:53] <linxeh> lsb_release -a
[04:53] <digimer> excellent, thank you
[04:54] <digimer> 16.04.1 LTS
[04:55] <linxeh> 64bit?
[04:55] <digimer> correct; Linux alteeve 4.4.0-31-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 13 00:07:12 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

[04:56] <akbridger> alex is a self rightious african american
[04:57] <linxeh> akbridger: and the person that just took control of his IRC client should grow up.

[05:00] <linxeh> :)
[05:00] <linxeh> AFK for 2 mins
[05:00]  * digimer nods
[05:10] <linxeh> digimer: you will be pleased to know I get the same error
[05:11] <digimer> go me!
[05:13] <linxeh> :)
[05:13] <linxeh> hmm most odd
[05:13]  * digimer agrees, as this is pretty much what iso-read is there for
[05:13] <digimer> #YouHadOneJob
[05:14] <linxeh> having recently worked on an ISO9660 reader, I do sympathise :p
[05:14] <digimer> if I mount the ISO first, my script runs fine
[05:14] <digimer> so this is the only issue with this stage
[05:14] <digimer> not what I was expecting to get hung up on
[05:14] <digimer> any thoughts on how to diagnose/fix?
[05:16] <Ben64> make a better iso reader, mount it first
[05:16] <digimer> Ben64: if I mount it, I can read it fine
[05:16] <Ben64> yep
[05:16] <digimer> the problem is that I want to be able to read the contents without escalating privs
[05:16] <digimer> iso-read does that
[05:17] <xXEoflaOEXx> hi
[05:17] <digimer> I'm open to other suggestions though
[05:17] <Ben64> yeah i gave you two
[05:18] <digimer> well, option 2 is ruled out because it defeats the purpose, and option 1 is a bit of "throw the baby out with the bath water"
[05:18] <xXEoflaOEXx> When I boot Ubuntu from USB, no matter how many times I try to boot from it it appears the Ubuntu logo, The hard drive activity was on, and off, then repeats (USB not recognized on the front side) until it appears initramfs prompt
[05:19] <Ben64> digimer: then use something like fuseiso9660
[05:19]  * digimer looks into that
[05:21] <cent> My ubuntu runs slowly, how to solve this?
[05:22] <digimer> Ben64: excellent suggestion, thank you
[05:22] <digimer> that does allow me to mount without root/sudo
[05:22]  * digimer updates script...
[05:25] <xsmltx> Hi, anyone can help me in here please? http://askubuntu.com/questions/844493/the-auto-login-configuration-cant-pass-the-first-appeared-screen-after-reboot-s ? Thank you.
[05:48] <kuwanger> I did an rsync from one SDD to another, and for some reason my ecrypt /home isn't being mounted automatically at login.
[05:51] <server_> Hello. I have a skylake based dell with intel+nvidia graphics cards. The laptop always freezes on startup if I use a regular kernel in grub but if I boot in recovery mode it never freezes on startup.  How can I triage what is different between standard and recover?
[05:51] <server_> recovery
[05:51] <server_> (this happens with all kernels both 4.4 and 4.7)
[05:53] <kuwanger> Hmm..going to try something. :/
[05:56] <galvezjj> I need to boot into text mode and not graphics mode, ctrl-alt-f1 is not working, anyone know how to do that?
[06:04] <maaz_> hello
[06:04] <Elvino> hello
[06:06] <Kuwanger> Okay, just had to boot into recovery and rsync one more time.  Presumably had to do with the user being still logged in causing problems.
[06:15] <b1_xt> here's the deal: I have python3-numpy listed as installed in apt, but python3 doesn't see it and it's not even in dist-packages anywhere, how's that possible?
[06:23] <Netek> I have a new server and I have setup ufw allow my-ip to tcp port 22 and the same for port 21
[06:23] <Netek> I have added 16 IP addresses to the ufw rule for port 21 and 22.  How can I block all IP addresses to access this server on all other ports?
[06:25] <Ben64> Netek: 'sudo ufw default deny incoming' probably, but be careful you don't lock yourself out
[06:25] <Netek> Ben64 I wonder if I already set allow from the IP's I need would this command over write?
[06:25] <Ben64> no
[06:26] <Netek> Ben64 ok, I will see now what happens heh.
[06:26] <Ben64> leave ssh connected, try connecting with a new connection to see if it still works
[06:31] <Netek> Ben64 seems to have done the trick, cannot connect from home network or a couple of VPNs but can connect from the VPS's
[06:31] <Netek> thanks :)
[06:41] <spanish777> @vps
[06:41] <node77> Hi there. I'm new to ubuntu server. After setting up my website for production on server, the mysql process takes a lot of RAM space (around 74% after few minutes). Due to which the site crashes due to insufficient free memory. What could be the possible reason for this and how should I go about to fix it? [I'm using nginx as webserver]
[06:44] <urban_> how do you guys change download/update file path via ubuntu?
[06:50] <lawltoad> Hi all. I used to be able to do "xinit -- :1" to start a new xserver but it dosn't seem to work on 16.04. I hear X/rootless X/systemd have changed how things work these days
[06:50] <lawltoad> how do I start a second X?
[06:51] <lawltoad> PS - it crashes with a "EE) parse_vt_settings: Cannot open /dev/tty0 (No such file or directory)"
[06:51] <lawltoad> and now I cant Ctrl + alt + f1 into the other VT consoles
[06:51] <lawltoad> -__-
[06:52] <wedgie> lawltoad: i don't know about your xserver question, but ctrl + alt + FX works for me on 16.04
[06:52] <lawltoad> It worked for me too
[06:53] <lawltoad> until I ran xinit -- :1
[06:53] <lawltoad> which failed
[06:53] <lawltoad> now ctrl + alt + f1 wont work
[06:53] <wedgie> hmm. No idea. Sorry
[06:53] <lawltoad> wedgie, wanna try running xinit -- :1 for me?
[06:53] <lawltoad> are you on nvidia by any chance?
[06:54] <ubuntu> hi
[06:55] <Guest23818> hi
[06:55] <wedgie> lawltoad: same result as you. Command failed and now I can't go to the other consoles
[06:55] <wedgie> and no, not intel on this laptop
[06:56] <lawltoad> Hmm, this may be an issue with 16.04: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2330506
[06:57] <SebthreeBQM10HD> hi
[07:07] <lawltoad> wedgie, I suspect it has to do with the interplay with multiseating
[07:07] <server_> My laptop's external monitor is not well recognized. It is never detected but typically starts as a mirrored monitor and sometimes as an extended monitor.  I want it to always be extended but xrandr and other tools do not properly detect it.  How to fix this?
[07:07] <lawltoad> The prophets were right. systemd is a pain
[07:14] <SebthreeBQM10HD> lawltoad, system d hasnt caused any problems for me
[07:15] <lawltoad> Haha, I'm not a hater I swear. I just went from like 14.04 to 16.04 so I suspect alots changed
[07:15] <lawltoad> I actually don't know if it's systemd's fault
[07:16] <SebthreeBQM10HD> lawltoad, probably not that much really except for the later versions of this and that and system d
[07:16] <lawltoad> but it looks like if I run "xinit -- :1" not only does it fail, but it makes changing to another VT with ctrl + alt + f1 fail now too. which I didn't think was possible
[07:17] <SebthreeBQM10HD> lawltoad, yes init is replaced by systemd
[07:17] <somaReverse> Hi, I've set user ulimit conf in /etc/security/limits.conf
[07:18] <somaReverse> why does it not take effect
[07:18] <somaReverse> pam.d/su has session required pam_limits.so
[07:18] <lawltoad> SebthreeBQM10HD, Yea, I don't mean to start a systemd falamewar. Just tongue-in-cheek. Wanna try starting a second xinit -- :1 for me and see if it fails for you too
[07:18] <lawltoad> ?
[07:18] <lawltoad> did you reboot?
[07:18] <somaReverse> huh?
[07:18] <somaReverse> I did
[07:19] <SebthreeBQM10HD> lawltoad, on the tablet so that will be a bit different anyay, and init is gone thats what i mean
[07:19] <somaReverse> i googled for a while and tried sysctl.conf , pam.d , securiy limits.conf
[07:19] <somaReverse> no luck
[07:19] <SebthreeBQM10HD> lawltoad,  by having systemd there is no init at all anymore
[07:21] <SebthreeBQM10HD> lawltoad, systemd replaces as in completly removes from distros that use it some of the old things such as init
[07:21] <lawltoad> SebthreeBQM10HD, xinit
[07:21] <lawltoad> SebthreeBQM10HD, its not tied into the old init to the best of my knowledge
[07:21] <lawltoad> SebthreeBQM10HD, startx fails the same way
[07:22] <lawltoad> SebthreeBQM10HD,  know much abotu multiseating?
[07:22] <SebthreeBQM10HD> no cant help you

[07:26] <ubuntunewbie> o/
[07:26] <PresidentTrump> so, obviously tcpdump loops if you're connected via ssh and don't filter ssh traffic out. but why does it loop at drastically different speeds on different networks?
[07:27] <ubuntunewbie> I tried given solution last night but no help
[07:27] <ubuntunewbie> found it was related to Installation Wizard
[07:28] <SebthreeBQM10HD> ubuntunewbie, what are you on about refferring to  your issue?
[07:29] <ubuntunewbie> that keyboard(can't input in installation Wizard)
[07:30] <ubuntunewbie> In Screenshot and in installation i got different when i got same as screen as given in screenshot it works
[07:30] <ubuntunewbie> :)
[07:30] <ubuntunewbie> but i don't know how to get that screen same as screenshot :(
[07:32] <ubuntunewbie> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/GetUbuntuGNOME?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=try.png
[07:32] <ubuntunewbie> i didn't get that screen :(
[07:33] <ubuntunewbie> it run direct and show install link in GUI :(

[07:40] <bytefire_> hi
[07:41] <ubuntunewbie> hi
[07:44] <bytefire_> i've compiled the kernel and placed it to /boot/vmlinuz. then ran `mkinitcpio -g /boot/myinitramfs.img -k /boot/vmlinuz`. myinitramfs.img is also what grub.cfg looks at
[07:45] <bytefire_> now when i boot it, i get the error saying it cannot find the partition with given uuid
[07:45] <bytefire_> can someone tell me if the mkinitcpio command is okay?
[07:46] <bytefire_> the uuid that it fails to find is the same that an older build of the kernel uses and that works fine

[08:24] <kennyZ> hello, i bootet a ubuntu 16.04 server ad64 livecd in rescue mode. is there a way to find out, which modules are compiled into the kernel
[08:31] <ducasse> kennyZ: you can look at one of the config-* files in /boot on any ubuntu install of the same version, the image should be using the same kernel.
[08:34] <kennyZ> ducasse: thanks, but in rescue mode there is no /boot directory and also no /proc/config.gz. i think the kernel is in /cdrom/install, but there is no config file
[08:34] <ducasse> kennyZ: i know, you would need to look at a real install afaik.
[08:35] <kennyZ> you are right :)

[08:37] <Razva> hey guys! here's an interesting question. I have a home server that has two nics, one is connected to the Internet via PPPoE (eth0), the other one is connected to my home switch (eth1). I've made two VMs, one acting as a router. I've made two bridges (vmbr0 -> eth0 & vmbr1 -> eth1) and connected the router VM to both. the router VM can't use ethX directly, it needs to use a bridge. I've set
[08:37] <Razva> the router VM to use the vmbr0 -> eth0 and setup PPPoE and set vbmr1 -> eth1 as a DHCP server. here's the issue: the DHCP clients can access the internet, but the hypervisor can't. any hints?

[08:45] <MasseR> Hi. I noticed that at some point there has been created a file /etc/profile.d/jdk.sh which hard-codes JAVA_HOMe to java8. This means that `update-java-alternatives` is no longer enough to change your current java version. Is there a preferred way to handle this mismatch, or should I just do both update-java-alternatives and change .bashrc whenever I need to change java versions?

[09:38] <eka> Hi all, what's a good clipboard manager that has integration for Unity?
[09:39] <juliusz> Hey guys. I hope this is the right thing to ask. I am trying since nearly one hour to get monet from gnuspeak working on my ubuntu
[09:48] <passerk> Ubuntu都没人聊？IRC
[09:50] <RockyRx> Voila.!
[09:50] <ducasse> !cn | passerk
[09:57] <juliusz> I need help installing Monet, an application in GNUspeak.
[09:57] <stealth_rlg> where can I find libreoffice-style-default for download.  Anybody know?
[10:05] <adroit_machine> EriC^^: I'm unable to install ubuntu on my machine in uefi mode, the live usb drive is not detected by the computer on bios boot menu
[10:10] <stealth_rlg> I'll give you guys about 10 seconds more.  If no answer I'm going back to windows.
[10:11] <ducasse> stealth_rlg: that's not how this works, but be my guest.
[10:11] <juliusz> adroit_machine Try plugging in the USB stick directly to your mainboard and make sure you installed it that it is bootable
[10:11] <stealth_rlg> just trying to get a response, a little humor.
[10:12] <hateball> So funny no one laughed, ever
[10:12] <adroit_machine> juliusz: I already tried that dude any other solution?
[10:13] <hateball> And the default style if you're using Unity, I am guessing is libreoffice-style-human
[10:13] <hateball> Which you would install by sudo apt install libreoffice-style-human, in case it was not
[10:13] <adroit_machine> should I install ubuntu in legacy mode?
[10:14] <topeet> hi
[10:15] <juliusz> adroit_machine yep, make sure Legacy USB Keyboard/Storage or similar option is checked. That's all I can think of
[10:17] <adroit_machine> ok thanks, juliusz
[10:17] <ducasse> adroit_machine: my mainboard has a setting in the bios to enable usb support in uefi mode, look for that
[10:18] <adroit_machine> I have enabled it ducasse i found that setting and enabled it
[10:18] <adroit_machine> I even changed the order so that usb live comes first, ducasse
[10:18] <stealth_rlg> OK I installed -human but it says I'm missing -default.  I'm using Precise Puppy linux.
[10:18] <ducasse> adroit_machine: and it still won't see the usb?
[10:18] <adroit_machine> nope, ducasse
[10:19] <ducasse> stealth_rlg: that's not even supported here
[10:20] <ducasse> adroit_machine: your firmware should have a boot menu that comes up when you press a certain key, have you looked there?
[10:20] <adroit_machine> yes, f9 is the key for boot menu, ducasse
[10:20] <adroit_machine> I'm on an hp laptop
[10:21] <ducasse> adroit_machine: how did you write the image?
[10:21] <stealth_rlg> Sorry, Puppy is based on Ubuntu I thought. Is there a Puppy that I can join.  I'm new to irssi.
[10:21] <adroit_machine> My laptop had come preinstalled with windows 10, I formated the drive and installed ubuntu in legacy mode. I'm just trying to figure out why it won't install in uefi mode
[10:21] <adroit_machine> ducasse: I used yumi to write the image
[10:22] <ducasse> stealth_rlg: 'based on' is not equal to 'the same as' :) try #puppylinux or see their web pages
[10:23] <stealth_rlg> Thanks a lot.  Will do.
[10:24] <ducasse> adroit_machine: i think that is your problem, try writing the image with just dd or something that does no other magic.
[10:25] <adroit_machine> what is dd, ducasse?
[10:26] <ducasse> adroit_machine: 'man dd'. essentially it just copies a stream of data, for example from a file to a usb stick or other block device.
[10:26] <adroit_machine> OK thanks ducasse
[10:27] <BluesKaj> Howdy folks
[10:28] <ducasse> adroit_machine: do something like 'sudo dd if=/path/to/image.img of=/dev/sdb bs=4M' where image.img is the iso image and /dev/sdb is the usb stick device node. that will write the image as-is.
[10:29] <dconroy> make sure you unmount first
[10:29] <dconroy> not eject
[10:29] <dconroy> also be very careful with dd you can really screw things up
[10:30] <ducasse> +1, i was just writing a longer warning :)
[10:31] <adroit_machine> thanks ducasse, dconroy
[10:31] <ducasse> adroit_machine: you can just come back here when you are about to write it, and i'll guide you through it.

[10:45] <TvL2386> I have a customer that installs his php files in /var/www/html. There is a directory /var/www/html/cache where apache2 writes stuff to. My customer wants to be able to manage those files with ownership www-data:www-data
[10:45] <TvL2386> and I don't want to give him root rights
[10:46] <ij> What installs menu.lst? Does linux-image-*?
[10:48] <ducasse> TvL2386: maybe acl's can help you, see 'man setfacl'.
[10:50] <Pharaoh> Hi! I am having persistent issues trying to install amdgpu-pro drivers..
[10:50] <Pharaoh> Errors were encountered while processing:
[10:50] <Pharaoh>  /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-paj00u/0-opencl-amdgpu-pro-icd_16.40-348864_amd64.deb
[10:50] <Pharaoh>  /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-paj00u/1-opencl-amdgpu-pro-icd_16.40-348864_i386.deb
[10:50] <ducasse> Pharaoh: i thought we arrived at the conclusion you should not use them?
[10:50] <brainwash> ij: you should mention the whole file path
[10:52] <ij> /boot/grub/menu.lst is what I'm talking about.
[10:52] <eka> what's a good screenshot making app?
[10:52] <brainwash> ij: grub is creating that file I'd guess
[10:53] <monomon[m]> eka: i was very happy with Shutter
[10:54] <Pharaoh> ducasse: I thought i had the issues since it never got installed properly.
[10:54] <eka> monomon[m], I was just looking at that... thanks!!
[10:54] <ducasse> Pharaoh: if this is stll on 16.10 then it never will install correctly
[10:54] <Pharaoh> ducasse: anyways, both the devices (GPU) and Intel are unclaimed. How can I force it to choose intel?
[10:55] <ducasse> Pharaoh: that's a bios thing, i think
[10:55] <Pharaoh> ducasse: Thanks, I will not wok on AMD further. I just got some updates from AMD and thought of giving it a try...
[10:55] <mikecmpbll> i don't understand the "-I <IP_ADDRESS>" config option in /etc/default/ntp
[10:56] <TvL2386> thx ducasse I'll check it out
[10:56] <ducasse> Pharaoh: until they update the drivers for 16.10 they won't work, but everything i found yesterday told me you should use radeon...
[10:56] <mikecmpbll> docs say it's the interface that ntp listens on but it's preventing my ntp from communicating with external ntp servers.
[10:57] <Pharaoh> ducasse: Thanks a lot, I will wait for the updates then..
[10:57] <ducasse> mikecmpbll: set it to <IP_ADDRESS> to listen on all interfaces
[10:57] <mikecmpbll> ducasse : removing it completely has it work correctly, but i don't understand what it's doing
[10:57] <Guest37005> after upgrading from 16.04 to 16.10 chkrootkit gives me "tcpd" INFECTED ,anyone else? false positive or should I wipe my system ,thanks
[10:58] <ducasse> Pharaoh: i would focus on getting radeon working, by filing a bug
[10:58] <Pharaoh> ducasse: Thanks, I will file a bug with them
[10:58] <ducasse> mikecmpbll: me neither, i only use timesyncd now.
[10:58] <mikecmpbll> ducasse : is it saying that the ntp daemon can receive queries and act as a timeserver itself, only on loopback? if so, that sounds like a reasonable default.
[10:58] <mikecmpbll> and i don't know why i have to remove it to allow it to talk to ext. servers :D
[10:59] <mikecmpbll> meh. maybe i'll look at timesyncd
[10:59] <ducasse> Pharaoh: you can use 'ubuntu-bug linux-image-generic'
[10:59] <Guest37005> after upgrading from 16.04 to 16.10 chkrootkit gives me "tcpd" INFECTED ,anyone else? false positive or should I wipe my system ,thanks
[11:01] <Ben64> Guest37005: what's the output of "md5sum $(which tcpd)"
[11:02] <EriC^^> !debsums
[11:02] <EriC^^> !info debsums
[11:03] <EriC^^> ^ might be useful, still though the error seems important
[11:04] <Guest37005> even if I do apt purge tcpd , chkrootkit still gives me tcp infected
[11:04] <Ben64> why would you purge it
[11:04] <Guest37005> anyone has upgraded from 04 to 10 and could look??
[11:04] <Ben64> i asked you for something already
[11:05] <Pharaoh> ducasse: Thanks again,i filed the bug as you suggested.. using ubuntu-bug linux-image-generic
[11:05] <Guest37005> I don t know the path to tcpd to do md5sum
[11:05] <Ben64> i gave you the exact line to type
[11:05] <Guest37005> ok 1 sec
[11:07] <Guest37005> I have command not found
[11:08] <Ben64> what's the exact error
[11:09] <Guest37005> no command wich
[11:09] <Ben64> so you type that, and it comes back with literally "no command wich"
[11:10] <Ben64> your computer is definitely compromised in that case, time to smash with hammer
[11:10] <EriC^^> which or wich?
[11:10] <hateball> Typing is hard
[11:10] <Guest37005> can you explain a little
[11:10] <Ben64> i asked you for the exact error
[11:10] <ducasse> Guest37005: can you doublecheck what you typed?
[11:10] <Ben64> and if that is what you provided, that is a problem
[11:11] <Guest37005> No command 'wich' found, did you mean:
[11:11] <Guest37005>  Command 'which' from package 'debianutils' (main)
[11:11] <Guest37005>  Command 'wicd' from package 'wicd-daemon' (universe)
[11:11] <Guest37005>  Command 'wish' from package 'tk' (main)
[11:11] <Guest37005> wich: command not found
[11:11] <ducasse> Guest37005: and what Ben64 wrote.
[11:11] <Ben64> great, now try typing it properly. "md5sum $(which tcpd)"
[11:12] <Guest37005> result : bash: md5sum /usr/sbin/tcpd: No such file or directory
[11:12] <Ben64> very close, now without the quotes
[11:12] <ducasse> Guest37005: did you purge the package?
[11:13] <Guest37005> no now it s installed
[11:13] <EriC^^> !info chkrootkit
[11:14] <Guest37005> at last sorry for being clumsy it gives
[11:14] <Guest37005> 8f9ef65213bbddd6e21c414d8606e255  /usr/sbin/tcpd
[11:14] <Ben64> it's fine
[11:15] <Guest37005> surely the upgrade interfered with chkrootkit checking??
[11:16] <Ben64> chkrootkit does false positives all the time
[11:16] <Guest37005> I wish it happened to someone else to be 100$ sure
[11:16] <Ben64> i already said it's fine, so it's fine
[11:16] <Guest37005> thanks
[11:16] <Ben64> it doesn't mean you don't have a rootkit, but tcpd is normal
[11:17] <Guest37005> the fact that I purged it and reinstall it it s bound to be normal, no?
[11:18] <Ben64> possible to have bogus repositories
[11:18] <Guest37005> yes
[11:18] <MorpheusArch> Hey I have a question regarding UCK (Ubuntu Customization Kit)
[11:18] <EriC^^> or some script that switches them every once in a while
[11:18] <MorpheusArch> there is no entry at all on the official wiki
[11:19] <MorpheusArch> is there a way you can put executable shell scripts in the user directory of the newly created ISO file?
[11:20] <Guest37005> another question I had for ages ,if one allows only dns and say http https with iptables ,it means it is absolutely impossible for an attacker to intrude ,correct?
[11:20] <Guest37005> exept hhuman error like running script on pages etc
[11:21] <MorpheusArch> Nothing is absolutely impossible to intrude. But thats a step in the right directory
[11:22] <MorpheusArch> *direction
[11:23] <Guest37005> if only say https is open (443 tcp) ,one can access the system ,like see the file system entering through that port ???
[11:23] <Ben64> possibly
[11:24] <MorpheusArch> If they use https why wouldn't they be able to see the webserver directory?
[11:24] <MorpheusArch> It should only be the webservers serving directory like /var/www/html for apache2 default unless there is some 0-day that allows directory traversal
[11:24] <Guest37005> what webserver ,I m speaking about desktop
[11:25] <Guest37005> trying to secure my ubuntu desktop
[11:25] <MorpheusArch> I thought you meant webserver sorry
[11:25] <MorpheusArch> what ports are opened up on your desktop or the output of sudo nmap -v localhost?
[11:27] <Guest37005> currently only dns http https ,and I open everything out with related traficc in when I use torent
[11:27] <Ben64> Guest37005: the only way to ever be secure is to disconnect it from the internet and power
[11:27] <Guest37005> that s what I feared
[11:27] <MorpheusArch> and what ports are you forwarding through your routers firewall?
[11:27] <s7urmi> "Control is an illusion" ;)
[11:28] <Guest37005> but iptables looks like good control...
[11:28] <Guest37005> I have no forwarding and no router just desktop with firewall
[11:28] <MorpheusArch> It is if its configured correctly, I come from an Arch Linux / Debian background surely SeLinux is available for Ubuntu right?
[11:29] <Guest37005> selinus smells like nsa and they want to intrude more than defend , snowden taught us that
[11:29] <Guest37005> apparmor is a good step
[11:30] <MorpheusArch> its open source...examine before you ./configure && sudo make install
[11:31] <Guest37005> I m not a code savy , and selinux is impossible to examine because of infinite librarys
[11:31] <Guest37005> snowden uses debian :)
[11:32] <MorpheusArch> You would be looking for anything trying to use sockets to establish a connection where it shouldn't be
[11:32] <MorpheusArch> Such is the nature of most if not all spyware.
[11:32] <Guest37005> wich command network monitor do u use??
[11:33] <MorpheusArch> I just nmap stuff if thats what you mean
[11:33] <MorpheusArch> so nmap there is a GUI version package name zenmap
[11:33] <Guest37005> I m ok with command line
[11:35] <linxeh> selinux is awesome
[11:35] <linxeh> and anyway, you can put it into logging permissive mode and then update the config from there
[11:36] <MorpheusArch> Though you can pretty much do a nmap -v localhost
[11:36] <Guest37005> I use to have it on fedora ,but i m glad ubuntu-debian don t include it by default
[11:36] <MorpheusArch> without nmap
[11:36] <MorpheusArch> Enter this command
[11:36] <MorpheusArch> for i in {1..10000};do (echo </dev/tcp/<insert IP address here>/$i) &>/dev/null && echo -e "/n[+] Open port at :\t$i" || echo -n "."; done
[11:36] <Guest37005> I m sure they have their reasons for not using it
[11:36] <MorpheusArch> It will check for open ports on your current machine that could be exploited by an attacker
[11:37] <MorpheusArch> Dont forget to replace <insert IP address here> with " localhost "
[11:37] <MorpheusArch> or your actual IP address...whichever really
[11:38] <Guest37005> I use a vpn so with my ip you won t reach me
[11:38] <MorpheusArch> I dont want to
[11:39] <Guest37005> I get it
[11:39] <Ben64> Guest37005: you're probably fine. if the nsa cared they'd just hit you with a wrench. don't be overly paranoid
[11:39] <MorpheusArch> I'm simply giving you a command that when entered into the terminal will display your open ports on your desktop
[11:39] <Guest37005> I know my open ports
[11:39] <Guest37005> I m not paranoid ,but as a tor user I m a target
[11:40] <Guest37005> I read the snowden files!!!
[11:40] <Guest37005> every tor use is a potential target
[11:40] <Ben64> as a tor user you're already being monitored
[11:40] <Guest37005> yes
[11:40] <Ben64> anyway this is no longer on topic
[11:40] <Guest37005> yes
[11:40] <Guest37005> thanks
[11:40] <MorpheusArch> As a non tor user your being monitored so what
[11:40] <s7urmi> i like trains
[11:41] <SebthreeBQM10HD> so do I
[11:41] <MorpheusArch> So uhhh nobody got an answer for my question?
[11:41] <s7urmi> which?
[11:41] <ducasse> MorpheusArch: repost, maybe.
[11:42] <MorpheusArch> Well I am trying to use the UCK Ubuntu customisation kit, there doesn't seem to be any entry on the official ubuntu wiki
[11:42] <ikonia> so whats the actual question ?
[11:43] <MorpheusArch> Is it possible to place executable shell scripts in the newly created home users directory
[11:43] <MorpheusArch> I was getting to it Ikonia :P
[11:43] <ikonia> MorpheusArch: you can create users with home directories for sure, so I don't see why it would be a problem to include content in those home directories
[11:44] <MorpheusArch> ok, I know you can do it with archiso (the arch linux version) just double checking before I spend hours customising this ubuntu
[11:44] <MorpheusArch> :P
[11:45] <linxeh> MorpheusArch: yes, you can use skeleton profiles
[11:46] <linxeh> MorpheusArch: dont know how you dod that in the UCK though
[11:46] <mrfalso> hi
[11:46] <SebthreeBQM10HD> hi
[11:47] <mrfalso> what are you doing ?
[11:48] <SebthreeBQM10HD> things
[11:48] <SebthreeBQM10HD> !ot
[11:53] <s7urmi> !guidlines
[11:53] <s7urmi> !guidelines
[11:55] <linux_user> good morning all!
[11:58] <linux_user> I have someone that is running ESXi and wants to do an automated install of ubuntu-gnome but wants to make sure that during the initial install openssh-server is installed also, any ideas how to do that?
[11:59] <MorpheusArch> if tasksel works on Ubuntu auto installs theres probably a way to make sure its checked
[11:59] <MorpheusArch> dont most distros come with openssh as default anyways?
[11:59] <devnull84> pre-launch or post launch config
[12:00] <devnull84> MorpheusArch: yes, it is common
[12:00] <linxeh> sadly
[12:00] <linux_user> MorpheusArch: if you mean ssh client yes, ssh server is NOT inclusive to ubuntu-gnome 16.10
[12:01] <linux_user> (by default I mean, it is obviously available to be installed post install)
[12:01] <hateball> linux_user: if they intend to do the customization using esxi/vcenter then vmwares docs probably show how/if you can do that, otherwise there is #vmware
[12:02] <linux_user> what I basically want to do is say to ubuntu-gnome, do a normal installation and oh add this package too…
[12:02] <hateball> linux_user: otherwise you can use UCK to customize what you deploy, or setup something like chef/puppet to handle new deploys
[12:02] <linux_user> hateball: uh, this is an ubuntu question it has little to do with vmware
[12:02] <linux_user> yes, I use ansible
[12:02] <linux_user> but
[12:02] <linux_user> I ansible can do ZERO without ssh server
[12:02] <linux_user> thus I want to be sure that ubuntu-gnome has ssh server on it from the install
[12:03] <MorpheusArch> you may be able to use a function that calls a shell script that just runs sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[12:03] <linux_user> as part of the install you mean?
[12:03] <linux_user> I have to pass the script to the cd or something?
[12:04] <ducasse> linux_user: look into preseeding.
[12:04] <linux_user> if openssh-server is NOT on the system and its running headless that seems rather impossible.
[12:04] <linux_user> ok
[12:04] <MorpheusArch> I was meaning in the installer code add a function that calls and runs the script
[12:05] <lordcirth> preseeding is the correct way.
[12:05] <linux_user> ok
[12:06] <ducasse> linux_user: http://askubuntu.com/questions/122505/how-do-i-create-a-completely-unattended-install-of-ubuntu
[12:07] <linux_user> ducasse: sweet! That look VERY promising!!
[12:07] <MorpheusArch> Why are you using ubuntu gnome if its running headless?
[12:07] <lordcirth> linux_user, you may also want to look into installing an ssh pubkey on the system.
[12:07] <linux_user> I am completely unopposed to doing it that way
[12:07] <MorpheusArch> seems pointless having gnome bloat if its headless doesnt it
[12:07] <linux_user> MorpheusArch: because one can use VNC to use it afterwards
[12:08] <linux_user> its a customer requirement to be there but it likely will not be used
[12:09] <MorpheusArch> You'd be better using x11 forwarding through SSH over VNC
[12:09] <MorpheusArch> especially for remote desktop administration
[12:10] <MorpheusArch> By better I mean not broadcasting the desktop over an unencrypted connection
[12:10] <linux_user> MorpheusArch: thanks but we are digressing
[12:10] <linux_user> I am trying to figure out for now how to do what my customer needs, not change his requirements.
[12:10] <linux_user> ducase: I am going to read your like that sounds like what I need
[12:10] <linux_user> like=link
[12:11] <linux_user> I think doing a full GUI install then command line adding the packages, so I can then get a full list of packages “at the end” is the first step for me also.
[12:11] <linux_user> well
[12:12] <linux_user> actually on second thought, I just need to make sure openssh-server is on the customer ISO and then I can ansible-ize the rest
[12:12] <linxeh> w00t ansible ftw
[12:12] <linxeh> I'm so glad you said that
[12:12] <linxeh> :)
[12:12] <linux_user> ansible rocks
[12:12] <lordcirth> linux_user, yeah, config management is more portable than preseeding, so I'd put the complexity there
[12:12] <lordcirth> I use SaltStack at work, it is also excellent
[12:12] <linux_user> will have to look at that
[12:13] <linux_user> the first step is an iso of ubuntu-gnome that is inclusive of openssh-server being installed. once I do that I am golden with ansible for the rest
[12:13] <linux_user> thank you ducasse, I am off to read and absorb!
[12:13] <MorpheusArch> Im actually in the process of using UCK to create custom ubuntu ISOs
[12:14] <MorpheusArch> maybe you could also create a ubuntu ISO with openssh already installed
[12:14] <MorpheusArch> so you got your own version should a future customer have similar requirements
[12:14] <linux_user> I like that too
[12:15] <MorpheusArch> https://www.linux.com/learn/roll-your-own-customized-ubuntu-uck
[12:16] <dchapman> I'm trying to alias rmi='rm -I'. But part of my output is rm: cannot remove '–I': No such file or directory. Any idea what's going on here?
[12:16] <linux_user> brb
[12:16] <MorpheusArch> there isnt a file named -i
[12:17] <MorpheusArch> or directory for that matter
[12:17] <GnikLlort> fail
[12:17] <dchapman> MorpheusArch: Yeah. So why is rm failing to read -I as an option?
[12:17] <MorpheusArch> you havent specified a file to delete so rm assumes -I is the file
[12:18] <MorpheusArch> man rm
[12:18] <dchapman> MorpheusArch: Assume I'm specifying a file or directory when using the command.
[12:18] <mr_boo> i was about to empty trashbin yesterday and the system hung. when restarting the pc ubuntu wouldn't start
[12:18] <mr_boo> i ran the live cd and made a sudo apt-get update and upgrade
[12:18] <mr_boo> still the same upon restarting
[12:19] <linux_user> MorpheusArch: uck is a cancelled project
[12:19] <MorpheusArch> seems to be working fine for me so far
[12:19] <MorpheusArch> though I have yet to test
[12:19] <nanosec_havoc> I'm sorry?
[12:20] <MorpheusArch> And these millions of ubuntu respins are coming from somewhere
[12:20] <nanosec_havoc> !help
[12:20] <tremorcontrol> I had a fresh Ubuntu install, but installed xubuntu-desktop package and started using it, but the indicator for volume and brightness changes is still the purple Unity indicators
[12:20] <zaki> hello
[12:21] <nanosec_havoc> zaki:hey
[12:21] <nanosec_havoc> :)
[12:21] <tremorcontrol> anyone know how to change this behavior?
[12:21] <MorpheusArch> also dchapman try aliasing first then trying to delete whatever
[12:21] <MorpheusArch> dont try 2 things at once
[12:21] <zaki> how are you doing. ? i have a question to ask
[12:21] <nanosec_havoc> No, I don't know how to
[12:21] <nanosec_havoc> I'm doing great :)
[12:21] <zaki> pavlushka: is it possible to assigining static ip addresses to my computers using ubuntu server and manage them? like bandwidth controler.
[12:22] <MorpheusArch> also mr_boo try running sudo update-grub
[12:22] <zaki> sorry
[12:22] <mr_boo> MorpheusArch: had nothing to do with grub
[12:22] <nanosec_havoc> Lmgtfy
[12:22] <zaki> nanosec_havoc: is it possible to assigining static ip addresses to my computers using ubuntu server and manage them? like bandwidth controler.
[12:22] <mr_boo> MorpheusArch: i came to the login screen and when login in nothing more happened than the background wallpaper
[12:23] <tremorcontrol> @zaki https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/network-configuration.html
[12:23] <MorpheusArch> are you able to switch tty consoles with ctrl + alt + F1
[12:23] <MorpheusArch> try changing the F1 number
[12:23] <ducasse> mr_boo: look at ~/.xsession-errors
[12:23] <Guest64998> hi
[12:23] <nanosec_havoc> You can change it zaki
[12:24] <mr_boo> ducasse: i've reinstalled ubuntu now
[12:24] <MorpheusArch> and its still not letting you get past login screen?
[12:24] <Guest64998> who can help me in back bok?
[12:24] <mr_boo> now it works fine
[12:24] <MorpheusArch> well uh that sure is one way to fix it
[12:24] <Guest64998> box*
[12:24] <nanosec_havoc> zaki: try this http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/change-ubuntu-server-from-dhcp-to-a-static-ip-address/
[12:24] <mr_boo> totally unexpected that empty the trash would break the whole system like this
[12:25] <mr_boo> i noticed the trashbin contents was a bit large
[12:25] <MorpheusArch> what did you delete?
[12:25] <mr_boo> and when hitting the "empty" button nothing happened
[12:25] <ducasse> mr_boo: it probably didn't, at least not enough to warrant a reinstall
[12:25] <mr_boo> then the system started to work weirdly
[12:26] <MorpheusArch> depends...weirder things have happened
[12:26] <zaki> nanosec_havoc: thnx , i will try
[12:26] <mr_boo> well apart from the system behaving oddly after that i couldn't restart so something was clearly weird
[12:26] <mr_boo> this all started when trying to flush trashbin
[12:26] <MorpheusArch> I think you may have somehow put a xorg-server dependency in the trash then deleted it somehow
[12:26] <mr_boo> what would that mean ?
[12:27] <MorpheusArch> Well if xorg-server is missing dependencies it wont be able to start xorg thus not let you login
[12:27] <mr_boo> my gut feeling says the trashbin had stuff in it that wasn't really trash
[12:27] <MorpheusArch> thats why one of the first questions posed to you was whats the output of xsession errors
[12:28] <mr_boo> the reason i tried to empty trash was that the disk was getting really full
[12:28] <mr_boo> i guess i'll never know what really happened
[12:28] <mr_boo> but anyhow very brutal
[12:29] <mr_boo> emptying trash that totally locks up the system totally
[12:29] <mr_boo> however i was able to recover stuff from live cd
[12:29] <MorpheusArch> welcome to linux
[12:29] <MorpheusArch> :D
[12:29] <mr_boo> with that said it isn't too often i need to reinstall anyway
[12:30] <mr_boo> hope it wont happen again
[12:30] <mr_boo> quite an inconvenience :P
[12:30] <s7urmi> It's not like that is happening to everyone who's trying to flush his trahsbin. Something must went terribly wrong bevor that
[12:30] <tremorcontrol> I had a fresh Ubuntu install, but installed xubuntu-desktop package and started using it, but the indicator for volume and brightness changes is still the purple Unity indicators. Anyone know what application to change/configure?
[12:31] <ducasse> tremorcontrol: i think you need to remove the indicator plugin from the panel.
[12:31] <MorpheusArch> Not everyone blindly deletes files
[12:35] <MorpheusArch> So the moral of the story is, when removing files be careful.
[12:40] <mr_boo> i'm trying to run a command "sudo ./install_sw4stm32_linux_64bits-v1.8.run"
[12:40] <mr_boo> and get "command not found" !?
[12:41] <mr_boo> what am i doing wrong?
[12:42] <EriC^^> mr_boo: chmod +x install_....run
[12:43] <mr_boo> thanks EriC^^
[12:43] <EriC^^> np
[12:43] <MorpheusArch> you might get a permission denied error sometimes (not this occasion) but yeah you need to mark files as executable before you execute them
[12:44] <mr_boo> i had totally forgotten that
[12:44] <ioria> also bash + file (without x permission)
[12:45] <mr_boo> maybe i should make a ghost image of my new installation
[12:45] <mr_boo> had forgotten how much effort it was to install system workbench
[12:46] <VN7> Anyone here give me advice on I must reboot to get wifi and clock time right?
[12:47] <hateball> zaki: You can setup something like squid as a proxy, and do bandwidth limiting there
[12:47] <hateball> zaki: oops, I was scrolled up, perhaps you have already had an answer
[12:55] <NameNick> thanks
[12:56] <mr_boo> many thanks for your help guys
[12:56] <mr_boo> seeya soon
[13:02] <rocket__> how to install my printer via usb?
[13:04] <Pwerless> which version of ubuntu is more stable at the moment?
[13:04] <hateball> !lts | Pwerless
[13:05] <imharvey> always LTS
[13:05] <Pwerless> i mean among the LTS ones..which one. some people say 16.04 is still buggy
[13:05] <ioria> !stable
[13:06] <Southern_Gentlem> Pwerless, all software is buggy (anything manmade has faults)
[13:06] <imharvey> 16.04 is great
[13:07] <Southern_Gentlem> Pwerless,  try it and see after all there are 2K linux distros for you to try
[13:07] <Pwerless> yes but asking wont harm
[13:10] <ducasse> Pwerless: 16.04 has been flawless for me, doesn't mean it will be for you.
[13:11] <Pwerless> Pwerless, i see
[13:11] <Pwerless> ducasse, i see*
[13:12] <rocket__> my printer doesnt work
[13:12] <kicksled> both 16.04 and 16.10 are performing well on my machine. minor bugs in 16.10, but thats to be expected
[13:12] <rocket__> does it recognize the printer if i plug it in via usb?
[13:12] <ducasse> Pwerless: i suggest you just try it. 14.04 has had more time to work out snags, but there might not be any problems in 16.04 either that affects you.
[13:12] <rocket__> and when i add it manually what kind of printer do i have to choose?
[13:13] <Pwerless> ducasse, gonna try 14.04 just to see how it works. I am running 16.04 and it "feels strange"
[13:33] <Andrew_jedi> Folks, Is the right channel for talking about ubuntu openstack packages?
[13:34] <Andrew_jedi> * Is this
[13:35] <Pici> Andrew_jedi: You might have better luck asking in #ubuntu-server (or maybe #openstack itself)
[13:36] <bucko|office> Hello! We are having a multicast issue after upgrading from quite an old kernel (3.13) to a new one (4.4). We see multicast packets appear in, for example, tcpdump, but they are not received by our application or by socat. The same setup works fine on servers on the older kernel. Does anyone have some pointers on where to look?
[13:37] <bucko|office> We've tried igmp_max_memberships, mc_forwarding, icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts and accept_local sysctl settings to no avail.

[13:46] <sdexter> I am seeing an add issue with cron on some of my 14.04 ubuntu machines. cron tasks not running on the first of the month, but only when the month previous ended on the 31st (vs 30th or 28th)
[13:47] <sdexter> Not doing anything fancy "30 3 * * * /script/here"
[13:52] <tomreyn> sdexter: that's special and and specific enough to file a bug report, i'd say.
[13:53] <bonzibuddy> hey folks - trying to trim down my boot time
[13:53] <tomreyn> maybe you can try to reproduce it on a different system before you do.
[13:53] <bonzibuddy> ubuntu 14.04 is taking just shy of a minute to boot
[13:53] <bonzibuddy> bootchart seems to indicate that ureadahead/plymouth are hogging a lot of time
[13:54] <tomreyn> bonzibuddy: consider upgrading to 16.04, this should speed it up.
[13:59] <expertninjaa> hello all

[14:01] <kn330> expertninjaa: hello
[14:02] <expertninjaa> I have a pretty simple question. I need to downgrade the kernel in 16.04 from the stock kernel to 3.16 on an ubuntu server. What would be the "proper" way to do this. e.g. the way least likely to break things
[14:02] <bonzibuddy> tomreyn: O
[14:02] <bonzibuddy> I'll try it *
[14:04] <expertninjaa> I know how to set the grub configuration to boot an older kernel, but I don't know the best practice to install the old kernel
[14:04] <rocket__> i cant install this printer

[14:21] <s7urmi> Hey, i'm an IT guy who's using windows for home and work since my beginning but i always liked linux since i heard of it und learned the basics at school but now I want to get in deeper into it but don't know where to start. Can someone tell me a good eBook or interactive tutorial site or so where i can start to get more into it than just using it
[14:21] <s7urmi> on a day to day basis?
[14:22] <Southern_Gentlem> gebruiker, there are about 2k linux distros, explore them all
[14:22] <Southern_Gentlem> then use what you like
[14:22] <EriC^^> s7urmi: tldp.org has some good ebooks, namely gnu command utils and linux admin guide and sys admin guide
[14:23] <EriC^^> s7urmi: also the arch wiki is good
[14:23] <Rochvellon> s7urmi: you can start with the ubuntu wiki
[14:23] <Southern_Gentlem> s7urmi,  documentation of whatever distro you are running
[14:23] <mqg> anyone can help me about how to change unit order in systemd ubuntu 16 ????
[14:23] <Mathisen> s7urmi, install some machines in a VM and start playing around.. try to setup upp diffrent things..
[14:26] <Southern_Gentlem> mqg, https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/System_Administrators_Guide/sect-Managing_Services_with_systemd-Unit_Files.html
[14:26] <rocket__> im going crazy
[14:26] <rocket__> the install scripts crash
[14:26] <s7urmi> thanks for all the replys, tldp.org looks nice and i'll also try do dig in deeper into the wikis
[14:26] <rocket__> it cant disable smart install
[14:26] <CIclops> Hi, I've been happily using 14.04 LTS for a long time, taking all the updates including the recent 3.19.0-73-generic #81 kernel, today I got a message saying: "Security updates for your current Hardware Enablement Stack ended on 2016-08-04" and a very obscure message about updating, i am confused what should I do?
[14:26] <rocket__> the printer is not working nor installed
[14:28] <EriC^^> CIclops: change to a different hwe stack
[14:29] <CIclops> EriC^^, how do I do that?
[14:29] <BluesKaj> CIclops, you should have the 4.2 kernel installed by now
[14:29] <CIclops> BluesKaj, I was never offered it
[14:30] <EriC^^> CIclops: type dpkg -l | grep "linux-image.*lts"
[14:30] <BluesKaj> CIclops, you'd better check your sources.list
[14:30] <EriC^^> !info linux-image-generic-xenial-lts
[14:30] <EriC^^> !info linux-image-generic-xenial-lts trusty
[14:30] <EriC^^> CIclops: see what packages you get from that command
[14:32] <CIclops> EriC^^, it says: ii  linux-image-generic-lts-vivid <IP_ADDRESS>.55 amd64
[14:32] <EriC^^> CIclops: ok, try sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-xenial
[14:33] <CIclops> EriC^^, my system is important, is this safe?
[14:33] <EriC^^> yeah, worse case scenario the kernel doesn't work and you boot the old one
[14:33] <CIclops> k
[14:36] <expertninjaa> How do I install kernel 3.16 on ubuntu 16.04 server
[14:36] <ikevin> you maybe need to compile it yourself
[14:37] <expertninjaa> crap
[14:37] <EriC^^> you can download the .deb files and use dpkg -i to install them
[14:37] <EriC^^> dunno how well it would run though
[14:38] <CIclops> EriC^^, ok finished with: Setting up linux-generic-lts-xenial (<IP_ADDRESS>.33) ...
[14:38] <EriC^^> CIclops: ok, reboot and see if it works
[14:38] <CIclops> k
 you can download the .deb files and use dpkg -i to install them <== it maybe will fail due to dependances
[14:39] <expertninjaa> EriC^^: it is a headless server that runs pretty basic services
[14:39] <s7urmi> getting back to my "Learn Linux" question. I recently used the codecademy bash course to refresh, check my bash skills and liked the interactive way of it. Do you guys know something similar? I know i could just use an VM or so and play around but i like to get a bit more guided :)
[14:40] <EriC^^> ikevin: it doesn't really have many dependencies, how well it would fit in with everything else in the system is another thing though
[14:40] <EriC^^> expertninjaa: why do you want 3.16 anyways?
[14:41] <tomreyn> expertninjaa: downgrading the kernel to a lower version than the release is probably not a good plan. why do you need the lower version?
[14:42] <expertninjaa> the backup service that we use across all our systems only supports up to 3.16 currently
[14:42] <EriC^^> s7urmi: there's a nice interactive guide on vim on the web somewhere, fwiw
[14:42] <tomreyn> expertninjaa: hmm, what kind of backup service is this? it should not need to interface with the kernel really.
[14:42] <expertninjaa> I attempted to get the network engineer to agree to install 14.04 instead of 16.04 for reasons like that
[14:42] <CIclops> EriC^^, so far so good now I have 4.4.0-45-generic #66~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 19
[14:43] <expertninjaa> it is a CDP service, it requires compiling a kernel module
[14:43] <mcphail> s7urmi: http://overthewire.org/wargames/bandit/ is a fun way to learn
[14:43] <EriC^^> CIclops: ok, cool, remove the lts-vivid metapackage and related kernels
[14:43] <EriC^^> CIclops: dpkg -l | grep lts-vivid should list the packages
[14:44] <s7urmi> Eric^^: u mean http://www.openvim.com/ ?
[14:44] <EriC^^> CIclops: they all start with linux-image and the one linux-generic-lts-vivid
[14:45] <EriC^^> s7urmi: yeah that's the one
[14:45] <EriC^^> s7urmi: there's a course on linux on edx that's free
[14:45] <EriC^^> linux foundation 101
[14:45] <s7urmi> mcphail: looks funny, thank you
[14:46] <s7urmi> EriC^^: k, i'll check it out, many thanks again
[14:46] <CIclops> EriC^^, do I need to do remove the  lts-vivid metapackage and related kernels or can I just continue now?
[14:46] <tomreyn> expertninjaa: oh so the idea is that the kernel pushes a message to the application when files are modified / created / deleted, i guess. you  could achieve the same with incron or similar, but i guess you need to use this specific / existing solution. if i was in this situation, i would just install and run an older ubuntu lts release instead (which is still supported).
[14:47] <EriC^^> CIclops: yeah remove them
[14:49] <EriC^^> s7urmi: no problem
[14:49] <tomreyn> expertninjaa: i.e., install trusty, and select backports as available from the official backports repository and non-official PPAs
[14:51] <expertninjaa> tomreyn:  I suggested that to my manager, but the official answer is "we will just do backups the old fashioned way"
[14:52] <tomreyn> this said, a backup solution which depends on a custom built kernel module and kernel version is about the worst i've heard of so far (and i've run into several and most of them are already terrible in one or the other way).
[14:52] <expertninjaa> e.g. setting cron jobs to image the servers
[14:52] <paws> i had eth1 network interface but i disconnected it from my ubuntu vm.. now my ubuntu keeps going to emergency mode and it saying that is looking for eth1 how can i completely remove eth1 from my system?
[14:52] <expertninjaa> well, if you saw how fast it was, you would be pretty damn impressed
[14:52] <paws> I just removed the network adapter from my esxi
[14:52] <expertninjaa> when it works it works AMAZINGLY well
[14:53] <expertninjaa> but I guess they are struggling to get support for newer kernels
[14:53] <paws> i mean i removed the eth1 via the vsphere client
[14:53] <expertninjaa> anyways, thank you all
[14:53] <tomreyn> until a new kernel version becomes commoon.
[14:53] <expertninjaa> pretty much
[14:53] <saint_> hi all - has anyone succeeded into installing Ubuntu server or desktop on a ESXI 5.5 / 6 ?
[14:53] <expertninjaa> above my pay grade however, i just get to make the stuff work
[14:53] <CIclops> EriC^^, ok i listed them and there are 3 lines:  linux-generic-lts-vivid  <IP_ADDRESS>.55
[14:54] <CIclops> linux-headers-generic-lts-vivid     <IP_ADDRESS>.55
[14:54] <paws> saint_: yes everyone :)
[14:54] <CIclops> inux-image-generic-lts-vivid       <IP_ADDRESS>.55
[14:54] <EriC^^> CIclops: ok, remove all 3 using apt-get purge
[14:54] <saint_> paws how do you make it so it boots correctly ? because all linux / *bsd ISO i used worked correctly, but ubuntu.
[14:54] <CIclops> k
[14:56] <CIclops> EriC^^, just apt-get purge?
[14:57] <EriC^^> CIclops: sudo apt-get purge linux-image-generic-lts-vivid linux-generic-lts-vivid linux-headers-generic-lts-vivid
[14:57] <CIclops> ah
[14:58] <CIclops> EriC^^, ok done
[14:59] <saint_> paws sssooooooo ..?
[15:02] <CIclops> EriC^^, is it okay now?
[15:02] <EriC^^> CIclops: yeah should be
[15:02] <CIclops> thanks!
[15:03] <didier> first time here how does it work ??
[15:03] <s7urmi> ask question -> get answer ;D
[15:03] <didier> thaaank you for that
[15:03] <EriC^^> CIclops: no problem
[15:04] <Guy1524> what is the program that installs ubuntu (the one that is loaded up on the live usb to install it)
[15:05] <s7urmi> didier: sorry, with some more information about what you want to know, there's likely someone who'll answer you
[15:05] <EriC^^> ubiquity
[15:05] <Guy1524> because I was thinking, wouldn't it be possible to run this in windows, and for windows users switching to ubuntu, just run the installer from windows and reboot and it would be installed you know?
[15:05] <OerHeks> Guy1524, lolz, no.
[15:06] <Guy1524> OerHeks: why not?
[15:06] <brainwash> !wubi
[15:06] <drkjstr> saint_: Did you checksum the ISO? Sometimes that can be the issue. I know I have successfully installed Ubuntu on ESXi 3.5, 4.0, and 5.5 without any special changes.
[15:06] <nacc> Guy1524: it's not a windows executable
[15:06] <OerHeks> Guy1524, just saying you cannot
[15:06] <Guy1524> oh, never seen wubi
[15:06] <Guy1524> thats cool
[15:07] <EriC^^> Guy1524: it would need to be heavily modified and rewritten
[15:07] <brainwash> Guy1524: cool, but not supported anymore :/
[15:07] <EriC^^> you could make something like that, or anyone if they really wanted i guess
[15:07] <Guy1524> why, just run qemu and use hardware passthrough for all the drives
[15:07] <Guy1524> it wouldn't need that much change would it
[15:07] <EriC^^> well that's using qemu
[15:08] <OerHeks> qemu =!windows
[15:08] <nacc> which basically ignores that its windows
[15:08] <Guy1524> so?
[15:08] <Guy1524> the end user wouldn't notice a difference
[15:08] <OerHeks> Guy1524, go try your suggestion then.
[15:09] <Guy1524> ok
[15:09] <Guy1524> I don't know python though ):
[15:09] <Guy1524> only c++/some java
[15:09] <Guy1524> Ill be back in a few months to tell you how it went :P
[15:09] <Guy1524> cya
[15:09] <nacc> very strange
[15:12] <drkjstr> Too bad he left, I would have recommended linuxliveusb.com that can do a portable virtualbox installation.
[15:14] <UTAN_dev> I'm using Desktop Sharing to work remotely on my Ubuntu laptop from my Windows desktop, but the laptop's resolution is too small. Can vino define and share additional desktops? If not, would another VNC server interfere with Vino?
[15:18] <eka> hi all, I'm trying to install a .deb that depends on the initscripts package and for what I can see it was there till Ubuntu 16.04 but not more on 16.10, any idea why?
[15:19] <pauljw> q
[15:20] <drkjstr> UTAN_dev: I haven't done this myself, but I found this link httP://stackoverflow.com/questions/15816/changing-the-resolution-of-a-vnc-session-in-linux
[15:21] <genii> eka: Because Ubuntu is moving away from sysv init to systemd
[15:21] <eka> genii: thought that. I installed telling to ignore that dependency and worked... :P
[15:21] <eka> genii: thanks
[15:26] <jhutchins> UTAN_dev: A second server would probably default to the same port, so you'd need to redefine that.
[15:29] <nanosec_havoc> Nice meme
[15:30] <irgendwer4711> hi, I found a strange effect on Handbreak after updating to Ubuntu 16.10. The main window is too wide and some controls are to small.

[15:46] <spitzi> Hi. I have a 64GB USB stick, which I want to use as bootable Ubuntu with persistent storage. What would be the best way to do so? Should I pre-format a partition on the stick for persistent files?
[15:47] <EriC^^> !persistence | spitzi
[15:47] <popMaize> spitzi, if you use usb_creator, there is a checkbox IIRC for using additional space as storage
[15:49] <spitzi> popMaize: Yeah, but it limits me to 4GB
[15:49] <irgendwer4711> where to file a bug for handbreak?
[15:50] <spitzi> Like, why not just offer to use the USB as the root file system while "trying" Ubuntu
[15:50] <ducasse> irgendwer4711: did you install it from the ubuntu repos?
[15:50] <irgendwer4711> yes
[15:51] <brainwash> irgendwer4711: https://github.com/HandBrake/HandBrake/issues
[15:51] <irgendwer4711> brainwash: I dont use the github version
[15:51] <ducasse> irgendwer4711: then you can file a bug with 'ubuntu-bug handbrake' and filling out the page it opens in your browser, but you may be told to file it upstream. depends on the bug.
[15:52] <irgendwer4711> ducasse: somehow after upgrading to 16.10 the handbreak window is to wide and some setting buttons are to small.
[15:52] <spitzi> I'll give this a go: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent
[15:53] <ducasse> irgendwer4711: i'm guessing that is because of gtk 3.20, file it the way i explained.
[15:53] <irgendwer4711> ok
[15:54] <irgendwer4711> ducasse: funny, it told me, that handbreak was not installed :-D
[15:54] <ducasse> irgendwer4711: 'handbrake'
[15:55] <irgendwer4711> ducasse: it did ubuntu-bug handbrake
[15:56] <janardan> are there features in ubuntu 16.10 that are good for end users?
[15:56] <ducasse> irgendwer4711: it says it's not installed?
[15:57] <irgendwer4711> ducasse: yes, the correct name is 'handbrake-gtk' but it seem no to be from Ubuntu?!
[15:58] <ducasse> irgendwer4711: that's most likely from a ppa, the ubuntu package name is 'handbrake'.
[15:58] <brainwash> !info handbrake
[15:58] <nacc> irgendwer4711: there is no handbrake-gtk in ubuntu
[15:58] <nacc> irgendwer4711: unless you mean that si the executable name?
[15:59] <irgendwer4711> ok wait, I see there is an old ppa package
[16:01] <ducasse> irgendwer4711: if you are using a ppa you need to take any issues up with the ppa maintainer.
[16:01] <Promille> Hi guys. Were can I request for developers to use an updated version of a specific package for the multiverse repo? The package in question is translate-shell, and the version in multiverse is not working. The newest version, which can be found on the developers github page, is working.
[16:01] <irgendwer4711> ducasse: same problem on notebook with ubuntu version
[16:02] <ducasse> irgendwer4711: then file the bug using that notebook.
[16:02] <irgendwer4711> ducasse: I exchanged package on my pc with ubuntu package.
[16:03] <ducasse> irgendwer4711: or that.
[16:03] <nacc> Promille: file a bug
[16:03] <OerHeks> irgendwer4711, file a bugreport https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages#Requesting_a_new_package_for_Ubuntu
[16:04] <irgendwer4711> there is no newer version
[16:04] <OerHeks> sorry irgendwer4711 , was for Promille
[16:04] <Promille> nacc: Thanks. Strangely enough it seems like I'm looking for the exact same link OerHeks posted as an answer to irgendwer4711 ^^

[16:11] <paws> so can i remove that file?
[16:11] <paws> can i just rm -Rf 50unattended-upgrades.ucf-old ?
[16:11] <nacc> paws: i would check what the diff is between the two, to be sure
[16:11] <irgendwer4711> another question: did ubuntu 16.10 change behavior on too small input fields?
[16:12] <nacc> paws: then if you don't need the old file, you can delete it, yes
[16:12] <irgendwer4711> there is a small line at the edge, indicating more text?
[16:12] <xXEoflaOEXx> I am installing Ubuntu using USB and no matter how many times I tried it, it boots until Ubuntu logo appears, then the USB is not recognized on the frontal side and it starts detecting file systems in all hard drives, USBs, CD-ROMS, etc. until it goes to initramfs prompt
[16:13] <Southern_Gentlem> xXEoflaOEXx, did you verify yje iso
[16:13] <Southern_Gentlem> the
[16:13] <xXEoflaOEXx> Southern_Gentlem: No, I will check them
[16:16] <xXEoflaOEXx> c7e9f3984316c6d6d6da6ab97df3852d5382ac06, compared to the website.
[16:19] <ioria> xXEoflaOEXx, ubuntu hardy ???
[16:19] <OerHeks> xXEoflaOEXx, depends on the tool how you made your usb, unetbootin is known for this issue
[16:20] <genii> xXEoflaOEXx: You might want to install an Uubuntu which is not already End Of Life
[16:20] <xXEoflaOEXx> OerHeks: I created it on a laptop with Rufus in Windows
[16:20] <ioria> c7e9f3984316c6d6d6da6ab97df3852d5382ac06 *ubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-i386.iso
[16:21] <root____3> sweet
[16:21] <OerHeks> rufus should work fine, else etcher http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/05/etcher-usb-image-burner-tool-linux-open-source
[16:21] <xXEoflaOEXx> I do not want to use an effectless Unity desktop environment
[16:22] <ioria> xXEoflaOEXx, what ubuntu version have you downloaded ?
[16:24] <Promille> Is do-release-upgrade safe to use or it still kind of "hail mary" ? I've experienced faulty upgrades more than once using this method
[16:25] <ioria> Promille, 14.04 -> 16.04 ? or what ?
[16:25] <Promille> 16.04 -> 16.10
[16:25] <ioria> Promille, should be fine .. back up anyway
[16:26] <Promille> ioria: Thanks. MAybe I'll just stick to 16.04. Saw now that it's LTS
[16:26] <ioria> Promille, yep
[16:33] <xXEoflaOEXx> ioria: For this reason Unity 3D not working, apparently, 8.04.1
[16:33] <wabbits> sorry for the off topic question... Is there a pc hardware channel? I have a cpu cooling fan question.
[16:33] <ioria> xXEoflaOEXx, yeah, not a good choice :þ
[16:35] <OerHeks> xXEoflaOEXx, you were here before with your outdated ubuntu.
[16:35] <Jordan_U> !alis | wabbits
[16:36] <Pici> xXEoflaOEXx: 8.04 has not been supported for 5 years, why are you trying to use such an old release?
[16:36] <xXEoflaOEXx> I will try it with Etcher and see
[16:36] <wabbits> ubotto and Jordan_U thanks
[16:38] <brunch875> is the development branch any stable?
[16:38] <kevdog> d:)
[16:38] <ducasse> brunch875: wouldn't be 'development branch' if it was :)
[16:39] <OerHeks> brunch875, no, after testing in proposed it might become stable.
[16:40] <brunch875> I'm asking this because I'm on rc-proposed on ubuntu touch and I didn't have any major issues which prevented me from using the phone, only irksome bugs which I'd report
[16:40] <brunch875> So I was wondering if there was also some sort of rc-proposed ubuntu which was more cutting edge, with irksome bugs and yet good enough for daily use
[16:41] <OerHeks> brunch875, you better reask in #ubuntu-touch, updates there go by OTA
[16:41] <Promille> brunch875: It's development so you should never assume that its stable. But speaking from experience most stuff can be rather stable.
[16:41] <ducasse> brunch875: are you asking about -proposed or zesty? proposed might be what you want, but it's mainly for testing purposes.
[16:41] <Jordan_U> wabbits: You're welcome.OB
[16:42] <Jordan_U> wabbits: Since you haven't joined it yet, ##hardware is the channel you're looking for. "/msg alis list hardware" would list it, but "/msg alis list pc hardware" would not.
[16:42] <brunch875> I have the Pre-released updates (yakkety-proposed) ticked under system settings, and I believe it to be fully stable
[16:43] <brunch875> I wouldn't mind going a step further for the sake of bug reporting
[16:43] <brunch875> after all, I'm using ubuntu for free
[16:43] <ducasse> brunch875: then you can upgrade to zesty, support in #ubuntu+1
[16:43] <brunch875> thanks for the tips :)
[16:48] <xcy> 'apt show mpd' suggests 'mpd-client', but i can't find this package via 'apt show mpd-client'. is it a bug?
[16:49] <xXEoflaOEXx> I cannot use Etcher because of illegal instruction, I installed the 32-bit version of Etcher
[16:49] <nacc> xcy: no, mpd-client is a 'provides' from several pacakges
[16:49] <nacc> xcy: but is not itself a pacakge
[16:49] <xXEoflaOEXx> xcy: This package is not in an official repositories
[16:50] <nacc> xXEoflaOEXx: that's inaccurate; mpd-client itself is not a package (or at least, doesn't need to be)
[16:50] <brainwash> it's a virtual package
[16:50] <nacc> brainwash: ack, sorry, meant to say normal package
[16:51] <xcy> Ok, thanks for the info
[16:52] <xXEoflaOEXx> I cannot use Etcher because of illegal instruction, I installed the 32-bit version of Etcher
[16:53] <ducasse> xXEoflaOEXx: upgrade to at least 12.04, 8.04 is unsupported.
[16:53] <OerHeks> xXEoflaOEXx, likely that old ubuntu does not work well with current programs, you are on your own.
[16:54] <xXEoflaOEXx> ducasse, OerHeks, I will try 12.04
[16:55] <Guest23592> #islandora
[16:56] <xXEoflaOEXx> And unsupported version of Ubuntu (8.04) cannot have the torrent download
[16:59] <ILoveMuppets> how can i set the timeout for turning off the screen from command line?
[16:59] <ILoveMuppets> i use ubuntu 16.10
[16:59] <chars6> can someone tell me if apt-clone copies configs for installed apps too, like say apache's config as an example?
[16:59] <OerHeks> chars6, no. just the .deb packages.
[16:59] <ducasse> ILoveMuppets: see 'man xset', the 'dpms' and 's' options.
[17:00] <chars6> thanks OerHeks
[17:01] <ILoveMuppets> ducasse, i want to set a timeout, not to turn off the screen
[17:01] <chars6> would there be any risk in just copying over /etc from a ubuntu install to kubuntu of the same version?
[17:01] <OerHeks> chars6, kubuntu and ubuntu uses the same repos, so the answer is no
[17:01] <ducasse> ILoveMuppets: that's what 'xset dpms ...' does.
[17:02] <ILoveMuppets> man, show me the command args/options for i have found nothing
[17:04] <ducasse> ILoveMuppets: "When numerical values are given, they set the inactivity period (in units of seconds)  before the three modes are activated.  The first value given is for the `standby' mode, the second is for  the  `suspend'  mode, and  the  third is for the `off' mode."
[17:04] <chars6> OerHeks: so after running apt-clone, if i want to copy over any and all config stuff, are there/which other directories will i want to copy?
[17:04] <chars6> or is just /etc enough?
[17:04] <doppler1> :-D
[17:05] <OerHeks> chars6, apt-clone does nothing with configs, you need to copy them manually
[17:05] <ILoveMuppets> ducasse, ill look into it
[17:06] <OerHeks> ILoveMuppets, maybe this page is any help http://askubuntu.com/questions/430384/turn-screen-off-when-inactive-setting-from-terminal
[17:06] <chars6> OerHeks: yes, i'm asking what directories beyond /etc i'll want to copy?
[17:08] <OerHeks> chars6, depends on the program i guess, some configs live in your /home/ folder
[17:16] <AnonyFox> Where is the irssi folder located on my ubuntu
[17:16] <AnonyFox> I need to find it so i can change theme
[17:17] <u0_a287> nick a7i3n
[17:17] <styler2go> Can i somehow boost the wifi quality? for example, increase power on wifi?
[17:18] <a7i3n> oops
[17:18] <styler2go> or, where can i see what's the maximum speed my wifi adapter can do?
[17:18] <a7i3n> damm thumbtyping...
[17:18] <OerHeks> AnonyFox, it is a hidden filder in your home >>  ~/.irssi/config  ( use ctrl + h to toggle hidden)
[17:18] <OerHeks> c/filder/folder
[17:19] <nchambers> hey guys. setting up my .bashrc. what is the advantage and/or point of lesspipe and debian_chroot?
[17:20] <AnonyFox> Cant find the folder
[17:20] <kevdog_> Is irssi installed
[17:20] <AnonyFox> Im using it right now so yeah
[17:20] <kevdog_> Terminal open?
[17:20] <Pici> AnonyFox: Put your themes in ~/.irssi/  don't modify the system's irssi paths
[17:21] <kevdog_> Agreed with that advice
[17:23] <AnonyFox> Ok i found the folder now but how do i move a file from desktop to the irssi folder from terminal ?
[17:23] <EriC^^> mv /path/file /path2/file
[17:23] <kevdog> mv <folder_name> ~/.irssi/
[17:24] <kevdog> so something like mv ~/Desktop/<file> ~/.irssi/
[17:24] <daum> hi guys i'm on 16.04 and upgraded my kernel to 4.8 for better skylake support, however my virtualbox now can't seem to find the vboxdrv module, any ideas how to fix that?
[17:24] <EriC^^> daum: install the headers for the kernel
[17:25] <EriC^^> apt-get install linux-headers-generic
[17:25] <daum> EriC^^, pretty sure i did when i installed it?
[17:25] <daum> installing
[17:25] <RFleming> apt install linux-headers-`uname -r`
[17:26] <daum> EriC^^, it looks like it install <IP_ADDRESS>.48 headers however i'm on 4.8
[17:26] <RFleming> daum: apt install linux-headers-`uname -r`
[17:26] <EriC^^> daum: are the 4.8 headers installed? try dpkg -l | grep linux-headers
[17:26] <ducasse> daum: apt-get won't find the heasers if the kernel is not from a repo with the headers
[17:26] <RFleming> will install the headers for the kernel you're currently running
[17:26] <xXEoflaOEXx> daum: How did you get the 4.8? Official repos?
[17:27] <ILoveMuppets> i ended up using 'gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay 300'
[17:27] <AnonyFox> how do i see hidden files in terminal ?
[17:27] <AnonyFox> new to this thing xD
[17:27] <AnonyFox> But still i decided to run Terminal only no gui
[17:27] <ILoveMuppets> thanks ducasse and OerHeks
[17:27] <OerHeks> daum how did you insall 4.8 on xenial 16.04?
[17:27] <ducasse> AnonyFox: 'ls -a'
[17:27] <daum> xXEoflaOEXx, no- didn't know i could get it from them, it was from something similar to: https://www.linuxbabe.com/ubuntu/install-linux-kernel-4-8-ubuntu-16-04-16-10
[17:28] <daum> EriC^^, yep they show as installed from that command
[17:28] <OerHeks> manually .. get the headers manually too
[17:28] <EriC^^> daum: maybe try reinstalling the virtualbox-dkms package
[17:28] <daum> EriC^^, ok will try
[17:28] <RFleming> daum: you're going to have to download the headers from the same place you downloaded the kernel
[17:29] <xXEoflaOEXx> daum: Do you have the linux headers 4.4 or 4.8?, If 4.4, Download these headers, also What kernel version 4.8.x?
[17:29] <RFleming> best place to get them is from the kernel.ubuntu.com PPA
[17:29] <daum> i have both installed it looks like, linux-headers-4.4.0-45, and linux-headers-4.8.0-040800, both with -generic also
[17:30] <daum> RFleming, so should i try to add that PPA and reinstall them?
[17:30] <genii> !mainline
[17:30] <ducasse> daum: no, you have the headers.
[17:30] <xXEoflaOEXx> daum: Is your system 64-bit?
[17:30] <daum> xXEoflaOEXx, yep
[17:31] <xXEoflaOEXx> daum: Try to reconfigure VirtualBox by reinstalling virtualbox-dkms
[17:32] <Julz> I need help installing a tar.gz archive. Extracted it but can't find any config file and the readme doesn't helps me either
[17:32] <daum_> hmm recieved: http://pastebin.com/TG2KrN5Z when trying to reinstall the virtualbox-dkms package
[17:33] <EriC^^> Julz: which program? what does the readme say?
[17:34] <daum_> should i try to install a kernel from the ubuntu ppa rather than the one i found from the mainline?
[17:35] <Julz> It is GNUspeach and here is the readme file: http://pastebin.com/gxRS1PLW
[17:36] <Pici> Julz: that software looks like it is for MacOS.
[17:37] <Julz> Pici they say on their website they wanna provide HQ text output for GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, and other platforms
[17:38] <kevdog_> Why are you upgrading kernels?
[17:38] <ducasse> Julz: they might mean 'want to' as 'in the future'. that software needs xcode to build.
[17:38] <xXEoflaOEXx> daum_: It looks like 4.8.0-040800 in VirtualBox-DKMS 5.0 is not supported
[17:39] <daum> xXEoflaOEXx, just curious how did you find it?  Maybe I should update to 5.1 then if it is supported there?
[17:40] <algo> hey there, i wanna ask about the ubuntu-restricted-extras
[17:40] <Julz> Nevermind I am sorry. I tried for 1.5 hours installing the MacOS version. Got now the right one
[17:40] <xXEoflaOEXx> daum: Updating to VirtualBox 5.1 requires Yakkety upgrade
[17:40] <daum> xXEoflaOEXx, looks like i can get it in xenial: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
[17:41] <xXEoflaOEXx> daum: Download it and see
[17:41] <daum> will do
[17:43] <Bray90820>  So my cherrytrail surface 3 on ubuntu 16.10  freezes anytime I watch a video and there are a bunch of DMESG errors

[17:43] <tommi> Does anyone have any tips for learning the linux terminal as fast as possible ?
[17:44] <ducasse> tommi: use nothing else.
[17:44] <tommi> Well at the moment i disabled the gui and im only running terminal
[17:45] <kevdog> Only practice makes you better at terminial - because then you have to learn vim and all the other goodies :)
[17:45] <Julz> tommi I read the first 100 pages of a book called the linux command line. If you want I can look up the author of the pdf
[17:46] <tommi> Julz: That would be nice
[17:47] <Manoir> Hello !
[17:48] <Manoir> I'm using a command to rename all the files containing bad characters from my server data (migrated from Mac) : for f in *; do mv "$f" "$(sed 's/[^0-9A-Za-z_.]/_/g' <<< "$f")"; done
[17:48] <Julz> tommi: The Linux Command Line -  A complete Introduction by William E. Shotts. Jr.
[17:48] <Manoir> It works well but I need to make it recursive
[17:48] <Manoir> Can anyone tell me how to make that command recursive ?
[17:48] <daum> xXEoflaOEXx, looks to be much closer, going through a slew of other issues but looks like ti shoudl be good
[17:48] <tommi> Julz: Thanks :D
[17:49] <xXEoflaOEXx> daum: Did the download finish?
[17:49] <Julz> tommi: You are welcome :) Personally I would read as much as you think you need to learn for yourself. The book is covering "everything"
[17:49] <genii> Manoir: That's not really an Ubuntu support question, you might want to try a channel like #bash instead
[17:50] <Manoir> genii: just did that
[17:50] <ducasse> Manoir: use 'find' instead of a for loop, for example, but genii is right.
[17:50] <tommi> Julz: I want to go as far as i can go with the learning curve of using the terminal
[17:50] <tommi> Julz: Im in love with the oldschool " Do everything from terminal " :D
[17:51] <nacc> tommi: there's nothing 'oldschool' or 'newschool' about using the terminal
[17:51] <Julz> tommi: Yeah. For me I learned enough from the first 100 pages for my needs. Have fun and good luck learning it
[17:51] <tommi> nacc: Well if you think back to the ages commadore was new
[17:52] <EriC^^> Manoir: there's a program called mmv for renaming i think
[17:52] <ducasse> tommi: there are a couple of bood bash guides online, if you're only talking about bash.
[17:53] <Manoir> EriC^^: I'm afraid of program messing up my files... would feel safer having a command line
[17:53] <tommi> im talking about the terminal
[17:53] <daum> xXEoflaOEXx, yeah - it installed fine, and now it is up and running, had to enable virtualization in my bios on the new machine
[17:55] <EriC^^> Manoir: well, in any case you can do find | while IFS='' read -r i; do sed stuff here.."$i".....; done
[17:55] <EriC^^> that would make it recursive
[17:55] <lesshaste> #scipy
[17:55] <gebruiker> i found that smplayer plays certain videos better than VLC does. How can I configure smplayer to use the mouse for volume +/- instead of forwarding or rewinding the video?
[17:56] <EriC^^> Manoir: do echo ....; done would be a good idea to test what it would do first, and quoting variables is important
[17:56]  * stevenhuman poked Uranus.
[17:57] <xXEoflaOEXx> I installed Compiz on Xubuntu, How can I get Compiz working on XFCE?

[18:44] <Flaiker> Hello, I am on Ubuntu 16.10 and I have it installed on my pc and laptop. I do have different behavior though in one regard. The global menu, on my laptop I can "switch" to other menus if one is open by hovering with the mouse over the entries. On my pc I cannot do that, I have to click on each menu item to open it, which is very annoying. Any idea what could cause this / how to fix?
[18:45] <xXEoflaOEXx> ppf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23417323/
[18:47] <ppf> looks like your gtk version is too old for the theme?
[18:47] <ppf> how did you install compiz?
[18:47] <ppf> and, once again, why did you install metacity as well?
[18:48] <xXEoflaOEXx> ppf: official repositories, I installed metacity expecting the theme to work but no
[18:48] <ppf> metacity is yet another wm
[18:49] <xXEoflaOEXx> ok
[18:49] <xXEoflaOEXx> I have to sleep right now
[18:51] <craigbass76> Is there any way to edit (add a line to) my current bash history? Not the .bash_history file, but whatever is being cached at the moment.
[18:51] <craigbass76> history -c clears it, but I can't see an add switch
[18:51] <apetiss> After an update the "trackpad sensitivity" doesn't affect my mouse (only trackpad), making it way too fast. Anyone know how to fix this? (I got an logitech mx anywhere 2, connected by usb)
[18:51] <AnonyFox> is there any command in terminal so i can read a pdf file ?
[18:52] <craigbass76> AnonyFox: evince, but you need a gui for it to show up. I don't know that there's a command line pdf viewer
[18:52] <ppf> AnonyFox: xdg-open
[18:53] <ioria> AnonyFox, you mean read it in terminal ? or start the gui from terminal  ?
[18:54] <AnonyFox> i mean read it in terminal if possible
[18:54] <ioria> AnonyFox, less file.pdf
[18:54] <AnonyFox> since im not going to run a gui
[18:55] <AnonyFox> Tried less and the pdf file but it just shows random numbers and shit
[18:55] <ppf> no way to read pdf without a gui
[18:55] <AnonyFox> Dammit
[18:55] <kyle__> AnonyFox: pdf2text
[18:55] <kyle__> or pdftotext
[18:55] <brontosaurusrex> AnonyFox, http://www.howtogeek.com/228531/how-to-convert-a-pdf-file-to-editable-text-using-the-command-line-in-linux/
[18:55] <ioria> AnonyFox, i can read it...
[18:56] <ioria> AnonyFox, you can convert it
[18:56] <craigbass76> I did just read something where midnight commander might do it, for text PDFs
[18:57] <AnonyFox> Ioria: Thanks i try it :D
[18:57] <ioria> AnonyFox, what kind of pdf is that ? a
[18:58] <kyle__> Even text based pdfs can have layout issues though.
[18:58] <AnonyFox> It's the linux command line book by william e shotts jr
[19:00] <ioria> AnonyFox,  this http://www.linuxzasve.com/preuzimanje/TLCL-09.12.pdf ?
[19:00] <AnonyFox> Ioria: YEs
[19:01] <ioria> AnonyFox,  right, not working
[19:02] <AnonyFox> Ioria: Got it it working to now with pdftotext filename.txt
[19:02] <ioria> AnonyFox,  yeah
[19:04] <fgxadmin> can I get support for ubuntu, having a issue with trying to write to a samba share within a windows virtual box instance, and the last few months has been a nightmare no longer being able to save files directly from the windows7 virtual box instance
[19:05] <craigbass76> fgxadmin: I finally gave up, and started using win-sshfs, if that helps.
[19:06] <fgxadmin> hmmm... so you have had same issues.... constantly getting "ypou dont have premissiiions to save..." errors... same days it works some days it dont, and it is always the days that i need it to work are the days it doesn't!
[19:07] <apetiss> After an update the "touchpad sensitivity" doesn't affect my mouse (only touchpad), making it way too fast. Anyone know how to fix this? (I got an logitech mx anywhere 2, connected by usb)
[19:07] <craigbass76> fgxadmin: YAY WINDOWS!
[19:07] <fgxadmin> exactly! i hate needing windows for these adobe products i really wish my clients would get off this bandwagon...
[19:08] <craigbass76> fgxadmin: I can't remember if it was after a WIndows update, or a newer Mint, but it crapped out a few months ago. I found win-sshfs and can now map one of my Linux drives on the Windows box
[19:08] <fgxadmin> ok I'm going to look into "win-sshfs" thanks for the push in any direction....
[19:09] <Mathisen> fgxadmin, one solusion would be to just chmod 777 the share.. but that is not the best solusion but should work
[19:11] <fgxadmin> ogm 777 figures to make windows work, every way you turn with windows you seem to have to play with fire ;)
[19:11] <ppf> fgxadmin: what's the share shared between?
[19:11] <ppf> vm and host?
[19:12] <fgxadmin> yes, and the VM is running on the host ;) thats the funny part
[19:13] <Mathisen> virtualbox atleast you can just use the shared clipboard to just copy files between then
[19:13] <ppf> using actual samba or virtualbox shared folders?
[19:13] <drkjstr> fgxadmin, becareful, the win-sshfs project is somewhat abandoned. You will need to use this project: https://github.com/Foreveryone-cz/win-sshfs/releases
[19:14] <drkjstr> As well as the latest Dokan DLL.
[19:15] <fgxadmin> no simply have a samba with a share for my clients folder on host, open windows7 VM on same host and share works, shows files reads files, can copy/paste on W7 explore "if i an not overwriting files" but if i open a app and try to open edit and save, craps out...."
[19:15] <ioria> AnonyFox, no, sorry less works ( i selected the wrong file) ... idk  why it wasn't working for you
[19:16] <ppf> fgxadmin: why not use shared folders
[19:16] <fgxadmin> would i have better luck using virtualbox shares I have never used that
[19:16] <ppf> give it a shot
[19:16] <ppf> it's much easier to set up
[19:17] <AnonyFox> ioria its working now no problem :D
[19:17] <fgxadmin> ok, i'll try now, thanks a lot! yes samba is not an easy solution for this simple task...
[19:17] <ioria> AnonyFox, ok ... good to hear
[19:17] <ppf> ioria: less doesn't pdftotext the file for me either
[19:18] <ioria> ppf, nope, but it lets you read it
[19:18] <ppf> not in plaintext, i need to scroll through the binary pieces
[19:18] <ioria> ppf, really ? not for me
[19:19] <ioria> ppf, using gnome-terminal here
[19:19] <ppf> same here
[19:20] <OneM_Industries> So, I have a script that I want to run, but when I enter into the command line "./script.sh" it gives me "Permission denied". I then tried using "sudo ./script.sh", which gave me "command not found". What am I doing wrong?
[19:20] <ppf> 'bla.pdf' may be a binary file
[19:20] <ppf> OneM_Industries: with or without the ""s?
[19:20] <fgxadmin> wow, now that was easy! <PPF> thank you so much for kiccking me in the back side!
[19:20] <ppf> fgxadmin: happy to help :)
[19:20] <linux137> Hi, i have privoxy install on my server, can i tell for some command to not pass trought privoxy?
[19:21] <fgxadmin> you rock!
[19:21] <OneM_Industries> ppf: Without.
[19:22] <ppf> OneM_Industries: try sudo bash -x ./script.sh
[19:24] <linux137> Hi, i have privoxy install on my server, can i tell for some command to not pass trought privoxy? anyone have an idea?
[19:25] <MonkeyDust> !find privoxy
[19:25] <elekant> Hi
[19:26] <nicomachus> LOL, ubottu has some sass today
[19:26] <linux137> ??
[19:26] <elekant> LOL

[19:27] <Pici> !life
[19:27] <mike__> !time
[19:27] <elekant> I like it
[19:27] <nicomachus> who reprogrammed the bot? ubottu turned into Marvin the Paranoid Android.
[19:27] <linux137> i need to use !find privoxy?
[19:28] <nicomachus> linux137: no he was looking for information and then the bot got sassy.
[19:28] <elekant> this chat is hella fun
[19:28] <mike__> !machine-to-machine communication via avian carrier protocol
[19:29] <elekant> I want this to be feckn fullscreen
[19:29] <linux137> so how can i tell command to not pass through privoxy
[19:29] <linux137> ?
[19:29] <nicomachus> linux137: be patient. We heard you the first 2 times.
[19:30] <linux137> ok thx
[19:30] <elekant> so what is this all about
[19:30] <MonkeyDust> linux137  start here http://www.privoxy.org/
[19:31] <elekant> I can say one thing installing ubuntuMATE on my raspi was the best desicion I have ever made
[19:31] <linux137> thx monkeydust
[19:31] <nicomachus> !topic | elekant
[19:33] <ducasse> linux137: what do you mean by 'command'? do you mean certain html tags?
[19:43] <CacheMoney> so I know Linux and multi-monitor support is a little janky. I am currently using KDE Plasma with a 6 monitor setup. Everything works swimmingly until I lock my workstation. When I try to unlock it, it seems like the session freezes up, but if I alternate between TTY (Ctrl-Alt-F6) and the GUI (Ctrl-Alt-F7), it seems to alleviate the issue
[19:45] <mbwe> what could be the problem with this, and possible a solution, https://gist.github.com/anonymous/08e387f4148e297c4a39c285f2c2ebbf
[19:47] <Ben64> mbwe: if i had to guess, i'd say there was a problem resolving archive.ubuntu.com
[19:49] <MonkeyDust> no, it's there, he can download the .deb
[19:49] <MonkeyDust> mbwe  download the .deb from here http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/m/mysql-5.7/
[19:50] <Ben64> or fix the dns problem
[19:50] <ioria> mbwe, are you 64 bit ?
[19:52] <mbwe> one second, i experience network problems at the moment,
[19:52] <mbwe> well Ben64 i am able to ping archive.ubuntu.com so it's resolving
[19:53] <mbwe> ioria: why is that a thing
[19:53] <ioria> mbwe, just checking ...  dpkg --print-foreign-architectures
[19:54] <OneM_Industries> ppf: Thank you, that fixed it!
[19:54] <ppf> cool
[19:55] <fitz> hi
[19:58] <Welastevil> hi people!
[19:58] <mbwe> ehm i386 ioria
[19:58] <Welastevil> I think that I deleted some pkgs by accident...I know it sound stupid...what ever... I did that...
[19:58] <Welastevil> know Im havin problems with apt-get
[19:58] <Welastevil> and some commands
[19:59] <Welastevil> like "say"
[19:59] <ioria> mbwe, ah, ok
[19:59] <Welastevil> GSSpeechServer[8434] No handle for event rport on descriptor 11
[19:59] <EriC^^> Welastevil: /var/log/apt/history.log shows the recent packages removed
[19:59] <Welastevil> for example...
[20:00] <mbwe> so what does it tell you ioria
[20:00] <ioria> mbwe, that you add the i386 arch correctly
[20:01] <mbwe> maybe the i386 does not exist anymore for ubuntu 16.04
[20:01] <ioria> mbwe, it does
[20:01] <Welastevil> nope
[20:02] <Welastevil> ill post the uputput in a pastbin
[20:02] <mbwe> ok, so that could not be the problem
[20:03] <mbwe> what could be the cause that i can ping the domain but apt-get does not resolve the domain ioria
[20:03] <mbwe> how strange is this
[20:03] <Welastevil> http://pastebin.com/GS9VcHzG
[20:03] <ioria> mbwe, change repos, check dns.....  try to ping www.google.com
[20:03] <mbwe> youmean mirrors ioria
[20:04] <ioria> mbwe, yes... but first check your DNS
[20:04] <ppf> Welastevil: if there are no removed packages in history.log you didn't remove packages (through apt)
[20:04] <Welastevil> I kbow
[20:04] <Welastevil> I even could log....
[20:04] <ioria> mbwe,  using static , dhcp ? and with NM or oher stuff ?
[20:04] <Welastevil> how do I reinstall for example "say"?
[20:05] <ppf> also check the /var/log/dpkg.log s
[20:05] <ppf> !info say
[20:06] <Welastevil> GSSpeechServer[8434] No handle for event rport on descriptor 11
[20:06] <Welastevil> GSSpeechServer[8434] No handle for event rport on descriptor 11
[20:06] <ioria> mbwe,  and you don't need to be root on ubuntu
[20:06] <ppf> what is say?
[20:06] <ppf> !find say
[20:07] <EriC^^> Welastevil: try sudo apt-get install --reinstall gnustep-gui-runtime
[20:07] <EriC^^> Welastevil: /var/log/apt/history.log should have the packages you removed
[20:07] <EriC^^> how did you remove them?
[20:08] <EriC^^> try a quick grep -i "remove.*gnustep" /var/log/apt/history.log
[20:08] <mbwe> ioria: could i change the domain to an ip in the /etc/sources.list?
[20:09] <ioria> mbwe,  sources.list is for your repos/mirrors ... for your sw
[20:09] <ioria> mbwe,  you need to check your network config
[20:10] <Welastevil> still
[20:10] <Welastevil> 2016-11-02 23:10:05.124 GSSpeechServer[8434] No handle for event rport on descriptor 11
[20:10] <elisa87> can you please have a look? http://askubuntu.com/questions/844827/removing-repeated-columns-in-a-csv-file
[20:10] <ppf> Welastevil: what did you change when this broke
[20:10] <linux137> >ducasse imean by command like curl bute don't pass by privoxy
[20:10] <EriC^^> Welastevil: grep -i "remove.*gnustep" /var/log/apt/history.log
[20:11] <ioria> mbwe,  what is that ? server or desktop edition ?
[20:12] <mbwe> desktop version ioria
[20:12] <Welastevil> command not found
[20:12] <ziox> hello :)
[20:12] <ioria> mbwe,  open NM then
[20:12] <EriC^^> Welastevil: grep returns command not found?
[20:13] <EriC^^> type just grep in a terminal
[20:13] <mbwe> ehm, that is not possible, since i am not behind the keyboard but remotly connected over ssh
[20:13] <ppf> Welastevil: please tell us first what you did?
[20:13] <ioria> mbwe,  click on NM icon in the panel and 'Connection Informatio' will tell you your dns
[20:13] <ziox> Hello, is it possible to use usb stick 1tb and make it persistant to ubuntu ?
[20:13] <mbwe> but /etc/resolv.conf is pointing to <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS> in otherwords google dns
[20:13] <ppf> there's no sense in us guessing what you did from you listing us random symptoms of single commands not working as intended
[20:13] <ioria> mbwe,  ok   cd in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections
[20:14] <ducasse> linux137: wget has --no-proxy, use that instead of curl.
[20:14] <Welastevil> knowgrep -i "remove.*gnustep"/var/log/apt/history.log
[20:14] <EriC^^> Welastevil: just grep -i without know
[20:14] <EriC^^> Welastevil: grep -i "remove.*gnustep" /var/log/apt/history.log
[20:14] <Welastevil> hahahaha
[20:15] <ioria> mbwe,  nope, should be (normally) nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[20:15] <EriC^^> where did you get know from? :D
[20:15] <linux137> > ducasse yes but if i need to send POST data i can't with wget
[20:15] <linux137> ?
[20:15] <Welastevil> now its taking time
[20:15] <ziox>  Hello, is it possible to use usb stick 1tb and make it persistant to ubuntu ?
[20:15] <Welastevil> no output yet
[20:15] <ducasse> linux137: ok, you can try 'http_proxy="" curl http://whatever', don't know if it will work.
[20:16] <linux137> > ducasse i will try this!
[20:16] <EriC^^> !persistence | ziox yes read here and there might be links for +4g usb persistence there
[20:16] <EriC^^> ziox: it is possible iirc
[20:16] <ioria> mbwe,  in  /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections   you'll find your 'connection' ... you need sudo to open it and grab 'dns'
[20:17] <ziox> Thanks much =) will take a look
[20:18] <free_speech> how to create a live medium of a running, installed and configured ubuntu system? I knew it once and I did it many months ago, but forgot the details ...
[20:18] <Welastevil> nope
[20:18] <EriC^^> ziox: http://askubuntu.com/questions/397481/how-to-make-a-persistent-live-ubuntu-usb-with-more-than-4gb
[20:19] <ziox> @EriC^^  @ubottu,   thanks a lot !
[20:19] <EriC^^> ziox: no problem
[20:19] <MonsieurBon> Hi
[20:21] <EriC^^> Welastevil: type "tail /var/log/apt/history.log | nc termbin.com 9999" , it will upload the last 10 lines of the log that shows what you installed/removed
[20:21] <EriC^^> paste the link it gives you here
[20:24] <SimonKLB> could anyone tell me how the nvidia drivers are loaded during init? ive removed all traces of it from modprobe.d and generated a new initramfs but they are still loaded
[20:24] <MonsieurBon> I have a very restrictive iptables policy on my server (drop on incoming and outgoing). To find out if I'm blocking something important, I'm logging all dropped packages. I see a lot of logs from port 80 to port 80 at some ip address I don't know. Is there any way of finding out what process is trying to make the connection=
[20:24] <MonsieurBon> ?
[20:25] <ioria> SimonKLB, lspci -k | grep VGA -A 3
[20:26] <akik> MonsieurBon: sudo lsof -i TCP:80
[20:26] <SimonKLB> ioria: yea?
[20:26] <akik> MonsieurBon: also netstat
[20:26] <ioria> SimonKLB, lspci -k | grep VGA -A 3
[20:27] <akik> MonsieurBon: netstat -tulpan (-p) will show the process info
[20:27] <SimonKLB> ioria: https://paste.ubuntu.com/23417768/
[20:28] <ioria> SimonKLB, sli ?
[20:28] <SimonKLB> ioria: no
[20:28] <ioria> SimonKLB, you got two nvidia ?
[20:28] <SimonKLB> ioria: yes, im trying to use the second one with gpu passthrough using vfio-pci
[20:29] <ioria> SimonKLB,  sudo lshw -C Video
[20:29] <MonsieurBon> akik, http://paste.ubuntu.com/23417774/ the 141.138.130.* addresses are the ones I'm interested in.
[20:29] <SimonKLB> ioria: https://paste.ubuntu.com/23417778/
[20:30] <akik> MonsieurBon: you can ask a whois server who owns them
[20:30] <ioria> SimonKLB,  amazing ... how did you removed nvidia ?
[20:30] <irgendwer4711> hi, after upgrading to 16.10 my Wine-Programs disappeared in start menu. how to get them back?
[20:31] <SimonKLB> ioria: i deleted the conf files from modprobe.d and there are nothing loading nvidia in modules-load.d either
[20:31] <SimonKLB> what other places could you define modules to load during init?
[20:32] <ioria> SimonKLB,  usually to remove nvidia , is sudo apt-get purge nvidia ... i never heard deleting config files ....
[20:32] <SimonKLB> ioria: yea of course, but i need the nvidia drivers for my main card
[20:32] <EriC^^> SimonKLB: if you want them not to load you can blacklist them
[20:32] <ioria> SimonKLB,  sorry, sudo apt-get purge nvidia*
[20:32] <SimonKLB> EriC^^: yea tried that too, still loads, its amazing
[20:33] <EriC^^> SimonKLB: something else is loading that needs it so it's loading it too
[20:33] <ioria> SimonKLB,  you want nvidia only for one device ?
[20:33] <SimonKLB> ioria: yes
[20:33] <ioria> SimonKLB,  mytic
[20:33] <EriC^^> SimonKLB: lsmod | grep nvidia should show what depends on it too
[20:33] <SimonKLB> im pretty sure it would work out if i could load the vfio modules before the nvidia modules
[20:34] <EriC^^> SimonKLB: maybe use /etc/modules to load the vfio modules?
[20:34] <EriC^^> that loads them pretty early on i think
[20:34] <SimonKLB> EriC^^: tried that, still loads after unfortunately
[20:35] <SimonKLB> i can see that drm and drm_kms_helper requires nvidia, ill check if they are specified somewhere
[20:35] <MonsieurBon> akik, seems to be williamhill.co.uk which is very suspicious. I wouldn't know what would be connecting there...
[20:36] <SimonKLB> # grep -Ri drm /etc/mod*
[20:36] <SimonKLB> *nada*
[20:36] <SimonKLB> really odd
[20:36] <ioria> SimonKLB,  maybe you need  a xorg.conf
[20:37] <ioria> SimonKLB, and load nouveau for the 2°  ... (just thinking)
[20:37] <SimonKLB> ioria: doesnt x stuff happen after init though?
[20:37] <ioria> SimonKLB, sure
[20:38] <SimonKLB> in dmesg:
[20:38] <SimonKLB> [    2.530928] nvidia 0000:07:00.0: enabling device (0100 -> 0103)

[20:38] <SimonKLB> even though vfio_pci is added to /etc/modules
[20:40] <SimonKLB> dracut have a cmdline option rd.driver.pre which should force some modules to load first, is there something similar i can use in ubuntu?
[20:41] <ioria> SimonKLB, above my paygrade
[20:41] <josuebc> Hi there. I have an ESC/POS printer which appears under /dev/ttyAMC0. I can send some raw data doing something like `echo "raw data" > /dev/ttyACM0` and it prints. I then added the printer doing `lpadmin -p thermal -v serial:/dev/ttyACM0` and added my user to dialout group. Now when trying to print something using `lpr -r -l -P thermal to_print.txt` I get a "Unable to open serial port: Permission denied" error. Any idea why?
[20:42] <Ben64> josuebc: you might need to reboot for the change in group membership to take effect
[20:42] <josuebc> Ben64: Already done that.
[20:42] <ppf> SimonKLB: did you install cuda?
[20:43] <akik> MonsieurBon: did you see which application is making the connections?
[20:43] <niytro> hi all =) just wondering how to install QuickTime and Adobe Acrobat Reader plugins for chromium? I need to do an online course
[20:43] <SimonKLB> ppf: not that im aware of, its possible if its bundled with nvidia somehow
[20:44] <SimonKLB> dpkg -l | grep -i cuda gives me nothing though
[20:44] <ppf> dpkg -l '*cuda*'?
[20:44] <ppf> ah, yea that should yield about the same
[20:44] <MonsieurBon> akik, seems to be apache2 but that still leaves me clueless... I'm wondering if I should open the connection and run tcpdump to see what's going on, but that's maybe a bit risky...
[20:44] <ioria> SimonKLB,  http://superuser.com/questions/956868/ubuntu-box-with-multiple-nvidia-graphic-cards
[20:45] <ppf> what's it exactly that you want? (sorry i missed most of the conversation)
[20:45] <SimonKLB> ppf: i have two nvidia cards, i want to use the secondary one for gpu passthrough in a vm
[20:45] <SimonKLB> the problem is that the nvidia driver is claiming both of them during init
[20:46] <SimonKLB> i think forcing vfio to load before nvidia will fix it
[20:46] <SimonKLB> but im unable to do so
[20:46] <apetiss> Any recommendations to an calendar app? (needs to be able to sync w google calendar)
