[00:00] <sepehr> Hey EveryBody?
[00:00] <zerorax> using swap creates a huge decrease in performance
[00:00] <FrostyBytes> hi sepehr!
[00:00] <genewitch> zerorax: depends
[00:00] <genewitch> zerorax: depends on if OOM crashes decrease performance more
[00:00] <zerorax> I have 8gb ram, and don't use swap, but I don't do anything that ever requires more than 8gb ram
[00:00] <ic2000> genewitch: doesn't seem like it worked
[00:00] <genewitch> zerorax: try compiling libreoffice
[00:01] <FrostyBytes> zerorax: using swap can also create a huge decrease in OOMs and outright freezes
[00:01] <Exterminador> zerorax: but when i installed Xubuntu it said it's better to use swap
[00:01] <genewitch> ic2000: lsusb says no firmware still?
[00:01] <Exterminador> wth?
[00:01] <zerorax> genewitch, like I said _I_ don't do anything that requires more
[00:01] <k1l_> Exterminador: using swap is very slow. compare the speed of ram with the speed of a hdd.
[00:01] <ic2000> genewitch: yeah still says  no firmware
[00:01] <zerorax> lots of people need more than 8gb ram... those people should buy more ram
[00:01] <sdasda> snowstorm please help me im desperate
[00:01] <FrostyBytes> your system reliability will still be higher if you have some swap enabled as headroom
[00:01] <genewitch> zerorax: i don't have a lawn, therefore no one needs a lawnmower
[00:01] <snowstorm> sdasda: when restarting you are sure it does from the live installation usb drive?
[00:01] <sepehr> i have 8 gigs of ram . i also have 20 gb of swap space , im running backtrack + mac os sierra and mean while im using ubuntu
[00:01] <deus_> having some trouble with a renaming script. what i am trying to do is rename all avi files in list of directory after the directory that they are in. here is what i have, but it is not working as expected: find . -type d -not -empty -exec echo mv  \{\}/*.avi \{\}.avi \;\ results: nothing actually gets renamed. here is the output: http://pastebin.com/vaJfesZY but it isn't actually moving anything.
[00:01] <Exterminador> zerorax: but is swap used anytime, if not needed?
[00:01] <sdasda> snowstorm i dont know what that means, how do i check?
[00:02] <k1l_> Exterminador: swap is a backup if the ram is full. and its needed if you want to use hibernation (suspend2disk)
[00:02] <snowstorm> sdasda are you using this computer at this moment?
[00:02] <zerorax> Exterminador, there is a setting somewhere called swapiness, which tells linux how much to rely on swap, if you set it to a certain value it will only use swap when memory is full
[00:02] <genewitch> ic2000: oh ok
[00:02] <sdasda> snowstorm im talking to you through my other computer
[00:03] <Exterminador> i see
[00:03] <sepehr> Guys is Using IRC Safe ?
[00:04] <Exterminador> now, how do i do a check to my hdd via smartmontools?
[00:04] <snowstorm> sdasda: make sure your computer boots from the usb either by setting boot order in bios or by choosing boot device during post
[00:04] <zerorax> sepehr, safe for what?
[00:04] <Exterminador> sepehr: nowadays nothing is safe. govs spies all your data
[00:04] <GroundZero1> sepehr, yes
[00:04] <Exterminador> :x
[00:04] <GroundZero1> sepehr, it is encrypted
[00:04] <papa_> grub-install
[00:04] <snowstorm> sepehr: might wanna use tails
[00:05] <sepehr> GroundZero1 What about the fact that any body can see my ip address ?
[00:05] <eskatrem> Bashing-om: ok, somehow I installed xfce4 and then I managed to make it work (with xfce4), thanks a lot for your help
[00:05] <GroundZero1> sepehr, who said that? i cant see your ip adress
[00:05] <GroundZero1> sepehr, i think the admin of the channel can't either
[00:05] <genewitch> ic2000: what version of ubuntu
[00:05] <sepehr> GroundZero1, Thanks didnt know that
[00:06] <genewitch> ic2000: the wifi thing wants to be a mass storage device (i.e. it's getting mounted); there's a few workarounds but it depends on what version of ubuntu. You can try unmounting it (check by typing mount in a command line)
[00:06] <GroundZero1> sepehr, i was inspecting the irc packets with wireshark..nothing that you could read..everything encrypted..it would an expert to crack your messages
[00:06] <sdasda> snowstorm i just did that
[00:06] <Bashing-om> eskatrem: man after my own heart .. I too like xfce ..  in it much easier to work with and to configure .
[00:06] <genewitch> sepehr<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[00:06] <sdasda> snowstorm it still gives me a black screen with blinking dash
[00:07] <GroundZero1> Bashing-om, i like mate..so easy..so compact..so efficient
[00:07] <genewitch> sepehr: lol, you need to register with nickserv and possibly get your host masked like mine
[00:07] <Exterminador> and to help more with security, use the ssl port of freenode
[00:07] <GroundZero1> genewitch, is this his real ip?
[00:07] <ic2000> genewitch: how can i check
[00:07] <Exterminador> that will help
[00:07] <sepehr> i can verify thats my real ip
[00:07] <genewitch> ic2000: type mount in a command line, pastebin it
[00:07] <papa_> im from russia. Happy New year ppl ! =)
[00:07] <Bashing-om> Exterminador: Let's all know what we are working with presently .pastebin ' sudo parted -l ; sudo fdisk -lu ' and we all get on the same page .
[00:08] <sepehr> Exterminador, How should i make it more safe ?
[00:08] <snowstorm> sdasda: did you get anything before the blinking dash.... is dash preceed with some letters/numbers?
[00:08] <sdasda> i got the loading ubuntu logo
[00:08] <sdasda> snowstorm
[00:08] <ic2000> genewitch: https://bpaste.net/show/6073f9507190
[00:08] <eskatrem> Bashing-om: probably a problem with Ubuntu desktop. thanks a lot
[00:08] <genewitch> ic2000: oh and for whate version of ubuntu it's cat /etc/*release*
[00:09] <snowstorm> sdasda is it loading/booting?
[00:09] <sdasda> snowstorm i dont know, there is just a black screen and a blinking dash upper right of the screen
[00:09] <sdasda> snowstorm thats all thats happening with it
[00:09] <ic2000> genewitch: DISTRIB_RELEASE=16.10
[00:09] <Bashing-om> eskatrem: Yeah. no doubt now . but I would have expected the RE-install of the DE to have corrected :(
[00:11] <ic2000> genewitch: there is another thing i looked up
[00:11] <papa_> tnx
[00:11] <ic2000> apparently with my adapters, they support the broadcom drivers
[00:11] <ic2000> so if you can show me how to install them
[00:11] <ic2000> that may work
[00:11] <snowstorm> sdasda so noting else is happening?
[00:11] <sdasda> snowstorm no
[00:12] <genewitch> ic2000: apt search broadcom
[00:12] <Bashing-om> ic2000: "support the broadcom drivers" briadcom is proprietary.
[00:12] <Bashing-om> !bcm | ic2000
[00:13] <deus_> hrmm, ok.
[00:13] <genewitch> ic2000: i have an ath9k somewhere but i think i had to compile something. there's a solution for debian, so maybe rephrase your question in here like this: "lsusb shows Atheros AR7010 (no firmware); ubuntu 16.10 wifi how?" or similar, i am sure someone in here knows exactly what tod o
[00:13] <snowstorm> sdasda: my guess is that it doesn't load from the usb installation stick.  Try to redo your usb with a verified ISO
[00:13] <Exterminador> who can take a look at this and tell me what to think about my hdd? http://paste.ubuntu.com/23725039/
[00:13] <snowstorm> I must leave pc for now.  bbl
[00:13] <sdasda> snowstorm can you give a link to an ubuntu that works good? and a universal burner so i can burn it to my stick please
[00:14] <deus_> when i copy my output from my script and run it manually i get this: mv ./blah/*.avi ./blah.avi
[00:14] <Exterminador> if it's cool or it's better to think in having a new one
[00:14] <snowstorm> sdasda ubuntu.com
[00:14] <deus_> response: mv: target './blah.avi' is not a directory
[00:14] <sdasda> snowstorm but its there i downloaded the ubuntu im trying to install
[00:14] <Bashing-om> Exterminador: looking .
[00:15] <snowstorm> sdasda https://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop
[00:15] <sdasda> snowstorm and what burner should i use? link please? :)
[00:15] <snowstorm> sdasda https://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows
[00:15] <snowstorm> sdasda rufus
[00:16] <Exterminador> rufus work on linux?
[00:16] <Pozzo> why using rufus instead of unetbootin ?
[00:16] <sdasda> snowstorm thank you so much, are you gonna be online for a while? i might need more help
[00:16] <sdasda> snowstorm
[00:16] <Exterminador> sdasda: snowstorm quitted
[00:17] <sdasda> exterminador i hope you can help me then x)
[00:17] <sdasda> i would really appriciate it
[00:17] <Exterminador> sdasda: i'm here to be helped. :x lol
[00:17] <Pozzo> snowstorm: why using rufus instead of unetbootin ?
[00:18] <sdasda> pozzo i think because its faster
[00:18] <Pozzo> ok... if you said so :)
[00:18] <Mr1NK> exterminador : are have problem with installation ???
[00:18] <Pozzo> or you can use usb-creator-gtk
[00:19] <Exterminador> Mr1NK: nope, i've installed it successfuly. just trying to learn a bit more
[00:19] <Jeaton> not necessarily a ubuntu question, but what is a decent dvd burning software on ubuntu
[00:20] <Jeaton> i used to use tovid, i dont know how it run nowdays
[00:21] <Burrito_CLpag> hola :)
[00:22] <genewitch> Burr-Brown from TI USB Audio CODEC causes ubuntu to hang when plugged in, anyone have any tips? http://projectftm.com/index.php?75cb4d this is what /var/log/messages say when i plug it in
[00:22] <Pozzo> brasero is quite good
[00:22] <Pozzo> or KD3
[00:22] <zerorax> is there a package that can compile an entire ubuntu system from source using compiler optimizations specific to your hardware?
[00:23] <genewitch> zerorax: yeah it's called gentoo
[00:23] <zerorax> genewitch I meant something automated, so non-tech people can do it
[00:23] <genewitch> non tech people wouldn't need those optimizations
[00:24] <genewitch> because 90% of it is not using dracut
[00:24] <genewitch> or initrd
[00:24] <Mr1NK> zerorex : try snappy
[00:24] <Exterminador> Bashing-om: so, is it time to buy a new hdd and replace this one? :x
[00:24] <TheGoose_> set irc.server.freenode.username "TheGoose_"
[00:24] <TheGoose_> fuck
[00:25] <Exterminador> who?
[00:25] <esjkfgsdjkfh> hello , my laptop has been fucked up , when i open it i got this : error file 'grub/x86_64-efi/normal mod not found
[00:25] <esjkfgsdjkfh> when i write ls , it show (hd0,gpt1) ... (hd0,gpt12)
[00:26] <energizer> What's the difference between font size and text scaling?
[00:27] <Bashing-om> Exterminador: Well, the drive has beeb ariubd fir a while and you have " Current_Pending_Sector >> 3 " that is not good . Lemme have one with greater experience look , if he is available . wait a few .
[00:27] <pitastrudl> parsnip:they are
[00:27] <esjkfgsdjkfh> Bashing-om: please help
[00:27] <pitastrudl> my user has permissions to them
[00:27] <pitastrudl> its wierd i can use them on one DE and not on the other
[00:28] <pitastrudl> the verbosity just says at the end that the ssh-agent is trying the pub auth methods and then funding nothing
[00:28] <Bashing-om> esjkfgsdjkfh: Sorry efi booting is not in my range of experience .
[00:28] <pitastrudl> "tryng pirvate key etc"
[00:28] <pitastrudl> then "no more auth etohds to try" and the error
[00:29] <Exterminador> Bashing-om: i guess i need start saving for an SSD! must be SATA 3Gb/s, but well.
[00:29] <Mr1NK> esjkfgsdjkfh : are have problem with efi booting ?!
[00:29] <Exterminador> i've heard SSD are faster (but not so reliable as HDD)
[00:31] <Bashing-om> Exterminador: Maybe yes, I am still awaiting a resoponse from my ping for a second opinion on the drive health .
[00:31] <Pozzo> Exterminador: SSD are much faster and as reliable as HDD => there is no HDD reliable
[00:31] <genewitch> SSD will outlive most of the parts in your computer
[00:31] <Exterminador> Pozzo: so, i should go for one?
[00:31] <Bashing-om> Exterminador: SSD technology has come a lomg way . They are even more reliable and longer lasting than a hard drive !
[00:31] <energizer> http://www.zdnet.com/article/ssd-reliability-in-the-real-world-googles-experience/
[00:31] <Pozzo> HDD are also reliable to store data than fog on a glasses
[00:31] <energizer> google did a long study of this ^
[00:32] <Pozzo> Exterminador: yes you can go with SSD
[00:32] <Pozzo> Exterminador: if you are really anxious you can use SSD for your system and store your /home on a legacy HDD
[00:33] <Exterminador> Pozzo: i'm not much into this. but, SSD lifetime is higher/equal/lower than HDD? do you can tell me?
[00:33] <Pozzo> Exterminador: a recent SSD will be equally lifetime
[00:33] <Bashing-om> Exterminador: Got a pong ! stand by .
[00:33] <bazhang> lets take this to ##hardware please
[00:34] <Exterminador> Bashing-om: yes sir! :D
[00:34] <Pozzo> except for very specific situation maybe... if you read/write hundred of Gigabyte per day
[00:34] <Exterminador> bazhang: sorry. my bad for starting this "thread" :D
[00:35] <sdasda> guys i cant use google chrome on ubuntu?
[00:35] <esjkfgsdjkfh> mr1nk
[00:35] <TheGoose_> sdasda: chromium
[00:35] <TheGoose_> open source chrome
[00:36] <sdasda> does it store all the bookmarks i have on chrome?
[00:36] <Exterminador> Pozzo: well, you've helped me a lot to decide. i'll go for a SSD. and i dont write almost any data to the hard drive. almost everything i download goes to the external drive
[00:36] <esjkfgsdjkfh> when i start my laptop its show this file /boot/grub/x86_64-efi/normal.mod not found".
[00:36] <TheGoose_> sdasda: not sure I use FF, but I'd beleive so
[00:36] <sdasda> thank you
[00:36] <gregl> esjkfgsdjkfh, Did it ever boot?
[00:36] <esjkfgsdjkfh> no
[00:36] <Pozzo> Exterminador: if you worry about reliability : have a look on RAID1
[00:36] <Mr1NK> esjkfgsdjkfh : may be you lost your grub
[00:36] <esjkfgsdjkfh> black screen with shell
[00:37] <gregl> esjkfgsdjkfh,  you just installed the os?
[00:37] <Pozzo> use multiple disk (from different brand / series)
[00:37] <esjkfgsdjkfh> it was working
[00:37] <esjkfgsdjkfh> i dualboot
[00:37] <esjkfgsdjkfh> windows 10 and kali linux
[00:37] <bazhang> #kali-linux then esjkfgsdjkfh
[00:38] <gregl> esjkfgsdjkfh, they don's support Kali here..
[00:38] <esjkfgsdjkfh> its about kali
[00:38] <esjkfgsdjkfh> its happen if i have ubuntu too
[00:38] <bazhang> kali is NOT supported here esjkfgsdjkfh
[00:38] <Exterminador> sdasda: maybe this help: https://www.chromium.org/getting-involved/download-chromium
[00:38] <esjkfgsdjkfh> i cant open the windows too
[00:38] <bazhang> ##windows for that esjkfgsdjkfh
[00:38] <TheGoose_> Exterminador: Im pretty sure its on launchpad, so you can just apt install it
[00:39] <Bashing-om> Exterminador: " < daftykins> ooh yes '3 current_pending_sector' so that suggests the data shexould be copied off that disk for a backup, then the drive fully zeroed to see how many bad sectors are encountered - they might all remap, or a huge number might be found and reallocated... but until it's done, likely that disk will keep causing trouble to the OS, software or user data "
[00:40] <genewitch> how do i see what serial ports are active?
[00:41] <Exterminador> Bashing-om: jeez. i've recently formatted the entire drive, before install w10 and xubuntu (both x64)
[00:41] <Exterminador> by the meantime, i'm not having problems. just want to make sure how my disk was. but seems it's dying. :/
[00:42] <Pozzo> Exterminador: do you have checked the smart properties of your disk ?
[00:42] <TheGoose_> Exterminador: SMART report?
[00:42] <Exterminador> TheGoose_: yes, apt install chromium-browser will work (at least on Xubuntu 16.04.1)
[00:42] <Exterminador> Pozzo: it's smarctl -a /dev/sda that i've pasted
[00:43] <TheGoose_> Exterminador: Pretty sure you need smartmontools to check it
[00:43] <Bashing-om> Exterminador: Sometimes zero'n out a drive will work wonders . Is all I can say .
[00:43] <TheGoose_> but you can install it and run sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdX to get info
[00:44] <Exterminador> Bashing-om: you mean i need to format it again? and reinstall all again?
[00:44] <Exterminador> :x
[00:45] <Bashing-om> Exterminador: Yeah, even then there is a degree of doubt about the life of that drive .
[00:45] <Exterminador> Bashing-om: i've formatted it at 3-4 weeks ago. so, i should assume that it's in real bad shape already
[00:46] <Bashing-om> Exterminador: What ya need to do is zero out that drive . takes about an hour per 100 Gigs - depending on how fast of a processor you have .
[00:46] <zerorax> how hard is it to contribute code to ubuntu?
[00:46] <Exterminador> it's a Dual Core T4300 @ 2.10Ghz
[00:46] <TheGoose_> zerorax: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment
[00:46] <Pozzo> zerorax: try to contribute for translate documentation first
[00:47] <Bashing-om> Exterminador: 'Bout an hour per 100 Gigs to write 0's , then install and run the smart test once more .
[00:48] <Exterminador> Bashing-om: and how do i do that? i've formatted the drive while installing windows.
[00:48] <Bashing-om> Exterminador: Bear in mind that 2 people have advised that the drive as is is un-reliable .
[00:49] <zerorax> bleh, this looks complicated
[00:49] <zerorax> I hate when developers make it hard to contribute code to their projects
[00:50] <Bashing-om> Exterminador: Formatting is not the same as writiing zero's . one does that operation from a live ubuntu with the 'dd' command .
[00:50] <bayman> how do i start a service in /etc/init.d/myservice as a specific user?
[00:50] <bayman> in ubuntu 16.x
[00:51] <Exterminador> Bashing-om: i can run smart test from live, right?
[00:51] <Pozzo> zerorax: I like playing doctor, how hard is it to become a real one ? seriously...
[00:52] <Exterminador> so, i'll try it. i guess i'll zero out it during the night
[00:52] <Exterminador> and tomorrow reinstall all again
[00:53] <Bashing-om> Exterminador: I have had varing degrees of success with zero'd drives . maybe yes, maybe not so yes . But if you value your system and it's data, ya gots to do it ( dd) . Else get the manufacture's test suite and see what the drive's manufacture thinks of the drive's health .
[00:54] <Pozzo> Exterminador: have you tried smartcl long test ?
[00:55] <Pozzo> Exterminador: if the test is not good... you should put the hdd to trash... it happens that smartcl says "it's not faulty... and in fact it is"
[00:55] <Pozzo> but smartctl never says "the disk if faulty... and in fact it is not"
[00:55] <RonWhoCares> What file do I edit to add a process that runs in the background each time the computer starts
[00:56] <Pozzo> or the contrary :)
[00:57] <Pozzo> well... have a good evening ! bybye
[00:57] <Exterminador> so, lets start this..
[00:58] <cfoch> Guys. Hi. Is this error message: " required file './ltmain.sh' not found" due to an old version of libtool?
[00:58] <Exterminador> just making a backup of the disk on Xubuntu
[00:58] <Exterminador> then i'll make of windows
[00:59] <MrJones> cfoch: https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Error-required-file-ltmain_002esh-not-found.html
[00:59] <Exterminador> Bashing-om: so, i put the usb stick, boot from it, open terminal and type: dd ? is that correct?
[01:00] <cfoch> MrJones: was that always so? because I remember I have never done something like that in the past.
[01:03] <Bashing-om> Exterminador: Lemme have a bit of tim to hunt up the command . You must be extrrememly carefuk with 'dd; . It is not known as sata destryer for nothing .
[01:04] <Bashing-om> sata/data*
[01:04] <LissajousPattern> happy new year
[01:05] <k00l3th4n> Bashing-om: What command are you looking for?
[01:05] <k00l3th4n> Bashing-om: Are you trying to burn an iso?
[01:05] <Exterminador> even if i destroy the whole data, that wont be a big problem, Bashing-om. i'll re-install the OSes again
[01:06] <marioad7> hi
[01:06] <k00l3th4n> marioad7: hi
[01:07] <marioad7> I am new on linux hehe
[01:07] <RageCraze> Chatting now from my freshly installed ubuntu!! :D
[01:07] <RageCraze> guys what's the best web editor for linux? something that supports javascript, jquery, html css and all that?
[01:08] <k00l3th4n> marioad7: Everyone has to start from the bottom. What are your goals with Linux. The basics?
[01:08] <mukluks> RageCraze: vim
[01:08] <k00l3th4n> RageCraze: Most def vim
[01:08]  * FinalX seconds^Wthirds vim
[01:08] <LissajousPattern> go VIM
[01:09]  * mukluks \o/
[01:09] <shantorn> what are the packages needed to allow me to switch from my intel to my nvidia graphics on my laptop somthing primus?
[01:09] <k00l3th4n> RageCraze: Google vim basic commands and you should be busy for awhile or just use the man pages.
[01:09] <FinalX> :set syntax=on
[01:09] <nchambers> RageCraze, I generally just use nano
[01:09] <FinalX> :set background=dark
[01:09] <FinalX> done :P
[01:09] <RageCraze> isn't vim a text editor?
[01:10] <FinalX> with syntax highlighting and the sort :)
[01:10] <k00l3th4n> shantorn: That is a whole process, not just a few commands. Google it and that should get you started. What distro are you using?
[01:10] <mukluks> yup
[01:10] <k1l_> shantorn: installing the nvidia driver from the ubuntu repo
[01:10] <shantorn> ubuntu mate 16.10
[01:10] <RonWhoCares> where is root's home directory in 16.10
[01:10] <mukluks> RageCraze: yup, cos the web is text
[01:10] <k00l3th4n> RageCraze: Vim is a text editor + some. Are you looking for a gui?
[01:10] <Exterminador> Bashing-om: is this: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX (where sdX is the device of the drive to delete.)
[01:11] <RageCraze> im actually looking for an IDE that would highlight text and such
[01:11] <RageCraze> like dreamweaver on pc you know
[01:11] <RageCraze> on windows**
[01:11] <k00l3th4n> RageCraze: Try Geany, that's a good gui.
[01:12] <RageCraze> installing that now. any helpful tips/ keyboard shortcuts i should learn to easy use this OS?
[01:12] <xangua> !root | RonWhoCares
[01:13] <k00l3th4n> RageCraze: You will just have to do the research. There is more to it than can be explained.
[01:14] <RageCraze> will do thanks! i love that i just have to access the ''linux store'' to download anything, makes me feel like im using android :D
[01:14] <RonWhoCares> xangua: I am running a background process at startup that enables scanning on my Brother MFC-435W.  The process is owned by 'root'.  I am trying to figure out where the scanned files got saved
[01:14] <k00l3th4n> RageCraze: That the whole concept about open source. Linux is great! And has the best community for help.
[01:15] <RonWhoCares> ubottu: The reason I am asking is 'root' is displayed on the MFC's screen for me to choose the destination computer
[01:15] <RageCraze> yeah im really thankful for you guys, some guy helped me alot today, my installation was stuck in a black screen and i almost lost hope after hours of research but he made it work
[01:15] <Exterminador> indeed, linux is great.
[01:15] <k00l3th4n> RageCraze: Look up YouTube videos on Geany. That should give you a good intro.
[01:16] <k00l3th4n> Exterminador: I don't know what I was doing with my life before I met Linux.
[01:16] <Exterminador> in windows i've take almost 30 mins to install a Canon printer, with the installation cd.. in Xubuntu, i've plugged the printer and a few seconds the printer was installed
[01:17] <Exterminador> few seconds later*
[01:17] <k00l3th4n> Exterminador: What is your daily distro? Ubuntu?
[01:17] <Exterminador> Xubuntu
[01:17] <Exterminador> 16.04 LTS
[01:17] <RageCraze> i just used geany, i think im gonna settle on it, it got some great features!
[01:18] <k00l3th4n> Exterminador: Right! I can't stand having to configure drivers in Windows. I only use that platform for work.
[01:18] <RageCraze> i use windows 10 on my stationary because of games
[01:18] <xangua> !ot
[01:18] <RageCraze> but i use this laptop for my studies, and i do a lot of programming
[01:18] <k00l3th4n> Have any of you guys ever tried Linux Academy? It is a great source of knowledge. Preps you for LPCI certs.
[01:19] <bazhang> lets take the chat to #ubuntu-offtopic please k00l3th4n
[01:21] <k00l3th4n> bazhang: No worries, I'll keep it on topic.
[01:21] <bazhang> thanks
[01:21] <Exterminador> i'm having lots of errors on: tar czf Xubuntu.tar.gz /
[01:22] <RageCraze> guys how do i type the alpha symbol? its not working here
[01:22] <RageCraze> shit + 2 isn't doing it
[01:22] <k1l_> RageCraze: what keyboard layout do you use?
[01:23] <Exterminador> some of them like: /sys/module/psmouse/uevent: Cannot open: Permission denied
[01:23] <Bashing-om> Exterminador: ' dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=1M ' If ya do in terminal ' man dd ' there are instructions on obtaining a status .
[01:23] <RageCraze> i use norwegian
[01:23] <RageCraze> we use ctrl alt and 2 to type the alpha symbol
[01:23] <RageCraze> but its not working on linux thats weird
[01:23] <nem122> hi
[01:23] <k00l3th4n> Exterminador: Are you addind the flag correctly, with the -czf
[01:24] <nem122> any good programmer online who could help me by answering one little question over pm?
[01:24] <Exterminador> erm. not using the "-"
[01:24] <_stripwear_> hi
[01:24] <nem122> please?
[01:24] <k1l_> nem122: if its not ubuntu related try to ask in a programming language related channel.
[01:24] <Exterminador> RageCraze: AltGr+2?
[01:24] <k00l3th4n> Exterminador: You need to be root. Use sudo command*
[01:25] <RageCraze> gr?
[01:25] <bazhang> ##programming nem122
[01:25] <k1l_> RageCraze: the key right of space bar
[01:25] <RageCraze> @
[01:25] <RageCraze> ohh there it is!
[01:25] <nem122> its not exactly about programing, i'm sure lot of you linux guys know this stuff
[01:25] <RageCraze> but wtf why cant i use the same as i use on windows
[01:25] <Exterminador> RageCraze: no idea
[01:25] <bazhang> RageCraze, no cursing here
[01:25] <RageCraze> hmm thats weird, but that should be ok to get used to
[01:25] <RageCraze> sorry
[01:25] <RageCraze> im new here u know
[01:26] <k1l_> RageCraze: that is keyboard layout specific. so see what layout you use on ubuntu and which one on windows
[01:26] <RageCraze> ill try and see
[01:26] <Exterminador> RageCraze: i use the same key shortcut on Windows
[01:26] <_stripwear_> Im new here too RageCraze ;)
[01:27] <k00l3th4n> RageCraze: No worries, we were all noobs @ some point. That's why there are moderators to help guide users.
[01:27] <Exterminador> Bashing-om: command saved for further use. thanks a lot!
[01:27] <RageCraze> yeah i know, thanks alot guys
[01:27] <_stripwear_> bye people
[01:28] <Bashing-om> Exterminador: I expect to be here tomorrow . let us know how it goes :)
[01:28] <k00l3th4n> RageCraze: You're welcome.
[01:28] <Exterminador> Bashing-om: sure. just need too find how to create a backup of windows
[01:29] <Exterminador> never done it before. and W10 is way complicated
[01:29] <RageCraze> how do i open the ''terminal'' in ubuntu?
[01:29] <k1l_> RageCraze: ctrl+alt+t is the shortcut
[01:29] <Exterminador> RageCraze: Ctrl+Alt+T
[01:29] <kk4ewt> press the superkey type terminal
[01:29] <k00l3th4n> RageCraze: You need to go look in your keyboard shortcuts. Most of the time it's ALT T or Shift ALT T
[01:30] <RageCraze> nice!
[01:30] <RageCraze> i got it with ctrl alt t
[01:30] <k1l_> RageCraze: or you use the "dash". press windows button (called super key on ubuntu) and then type something
[01:30] <k00l3th4n> RageCraze: or Ctrl Alt T
[01:30] <Exterminador> with major keyboards with the Windows key symbol, is WinKey+T
[01:30] <ic2000> hello, i'm having an issue where no matter what i try (installing various amount of firmware and so on) i cannot get my wifi adapter to work with ubuntu. it recognises the device but claims there's no firmware for it: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR7010 (no firmware)
[01:30] <k1l_> Exterminador: no, that opens the trash
[01:31] <k00l3th4n> RageCraze: You can go mod you keyboard shortcuts if you don't like defaults.
[01:31] <Exterminador> k1l_: on my keyboard, it opens terminal
[01:31] <Exterminador> maybe it's the layout
[01:31] <k1l_> with holding the super key you get a list of shortcuts.
[01:31] <k1l_> Exterminador: what ubuntu desktop do you use?
[01:31] <RageCraze> sure how do i mod it?
[01:31] <Exterminador> k1l_: Xubuntu
[01:32] <RageCraze> btw im trying to install something now, and after i type the command, it asks for my password, but nothing gets typed when i press my keys, is this normal?
[01:32] <k1l_> RageCraze: yes. its hidden
[01:32] <RageCraze> so i have to just type?
[01:32] <k1l_> yes. type blindly.
[01:32] <Exterminador> yes, RageCraze. that's the normal beahviour. even thought you can change it to appear "*" but i dont remember how
[01:33] <RageCraze> http://pastebin.com/n93bchNS
[01:33] <RageCraze> whats wrong with this?
[01:33] <k00l3th4n> RageCraze: Go to system settings and then keyboard. There will be a tab for shortcuts.
[01:33] <RageCraze> copied from the terminal after i put in my password
[01:33] <Exterminador> RageCraze: try: sudo su
[01:33] <Exterminador> then type the passwd
[01:34] <k1l_> RageCraze: do you have another program opened, that uses the package manager?
[01:34] <k1l_> Exterminador: stio
[01:34] <k1l_> Exterminador: stop
[01:34] <k1l_> RageCraze: dont do that
[01:34] <RageCraze> dont do what im confused now
[01:34] <k1l_> RageCraze: dont run Exterminador commands. read the errormessage you see in terminal: do you have another program opened that uses the ubuntu pacakge manager?
[01:35] <k1l_> Exterminador: setting a root password is not supported and will not help that user in any way.
[01:35] <RageCraze> i dont know whats ubuntu package manager, but how do i chek?
[01:35] <RageCraze> trying to install git by typing sudo apt-get install git curl
[01:35] <k1l_> RageCraze: do you have the updater or the software center opened?
[01:35] <RageCraze> yes the updater!
[01:35] <k1l_> RageCraze: is it running?
[01:36] <k00l3th4n> RageCraze: You must have another package manager open. If you have a gui open and terminal, you will get that error.
[01:36] <RageCraze> yes i just closed the updater and the installation started! this is a great community, i hope i will become better at this and be able to help people to!
[01:36] <k1l_> RageCraze: you can only have one program manage the software packages at a time. so the system doesnt get confused and saves wrong states of installed software
[01:37] <Bashing-om> RageCraze: All it takes is time and effort :)
[01:37] <k00l3th4n> RageCraze: That's is how the community works. You gain knowledge and in return share that knowledge with other noobs.
[01:38] <Exterminador> k1l_: when i installed the Xubuntu, it asked to set a password. since then, i use "sudo su". so, sometimes i get confused and i've misread the pastebin. sorry for that.
[01:38] <RageCraze> yeah i know, thats my goal guys
[01:38] <RageCraze> now after i installed git, do i just use the terminal?
[01:38] <RageCraze> or does it get installed somewhere
[01:38] <k1l_> Exterminador: sudo -i, if you want to use a root shell.
[01:39] <k00l3th4n> RageCraze: Yes, you can just use the terminal after installing git.
[01:39] <k1l_> RageCraze: if you use the official packages from the repo. ist properly installed then
[01:39] <RageCraze> how do i start it? like i wanna configure git settings now, what do i do?
[01:39] <RageCraze> hmm i cant find anything called git on the pc
[01:40] <k1l_> git is a terminal command
[01:40] <k00l3th4n> Use the man pages --> type in your terminal man git
[01:41] <Exterminador> k1l_: thanks for the advise. since i've started to navigate into linux world, everyone have said to type "sudo su". i appreciate all the help you give.
[01:42] <k1l_> Exterminador: yes, not using root is part of the ubuntu security setup. other distros handle that differently.
[01:43] <k00l3th4n> RageCraze: Also, get familar with weechat. Here is the quick starters guide --> http://www.weechat.org/files/doc/stable/weechat_quickstart.en.html
[01:43] <FrostyBytes> I would say not using root is more of a safety net than a real security measure
[01:43] <RageCraze> ill try that thanks!
[01:43] <nedstark> there are graphical git clients, like smartgit, git-cola, giteye, giggle, gitg, and gitkraken
[01:43] <RageCraze> holy *** it was so easy to install git on linux? i had a lot of problems with it on windows!
[01:43] <RageCraze> omg i love this and ive been using this for almost 15 min!
[01:44] <Exterminador> now, i have another stupid question. why, when i installed Xubuntu in dual boot with windows, when booting the laptop, it appears 4 options on the screen to boot. why those 4? why not just *buntu & windows?
[01:44] <k1l_> RageCraze: that is the advantage of having that huge official package repos.
[01:44] <RageCraze> yeah! its really good im loving this already!
[01:44] <RageCraze> and i love that i can use chrome here, only thing missing is google drive
[01:44] <nedstark> it sees the windows recovery partition separately from windows
[01:44] <RageCraze> but i can use on web
[01:45] <k1l_> Exterminador: for debugging reasons there are older kernels and a recovery entry. and a memtest for the ram
[01:45] <nedstark> you can use google drive through the browser
[01:46] <Exterminador> k1l_: but is it possible to install it without the recovery and memtest entries? or not really?
[01:46] <k00l3th4n> RageCraze: I started a private buffer with you. Check your buffers.
[01:46] <k1l_> Exterminador: you can make grub not displaying those other options
[01:46] <nedstark> its ironic that google has neglected making a google drive client when most of their workers' desktops are linux desktops
[01:47] <Exterminador> hum. grub customizer will do the job?
[01:47] <k1l_> Exterminador: or you look at the scripts yourself.
[01:48] <RageCraze> whats buffer i dont know how
[01:48] <Exterminador> that's an idea. another thing. each user account can have is own env language?
[01:49] <Exterminador> i mean, i like to work with it in EN. but my wife dont understand anything of EN
[01:49] <k00l3th4n> RageCraze: Type these commands one @ a time in --> /mouse enable and then /script install buffers.pl
[01:50] <Exterminador> so, she can setup PT to her displaying lang?
[01:51] <k00l3th4n> RageCraze: buffers.pl will give you a side view of your buffers.
[01:51] <xangua> nedstark: RageCraze haven't tested it myself www.webupd8.org/2016/03/use-gnome-318-google-drive-integration.html?m=1
[01:51] <RageCraze> ohhh ill try that now!
[01:51] <RageCraze> buffers.pl? where do i type that
[01:52] <RageCraze> is there a way to hide the side bar when using full screen on an application?
[01:53] <k00l3th4n> RageCraze: close this buffer with /close and then in the weechat buffer type those commands. Then you can rejoin this channel.
[01:53] <nedstark> xangua, thanks
[01:53] <k00l3th4n> RageCraze: I'm not sure if you can hide it or not. Never tried...
[01:56] <RageCraze> hmmm
[02:19] <zerorax> how do I disable x from starting?
[02:20] <zerorax> in lubuntu
[02:20] <zerorax> essentially, I want to have a DE, but not use it unless i use startx command
[02:23] <kk4ewt> start in runlevel 3
[02:24] <zerorax> will that effect anything other than stopping X from init'ing?
[02:24] <kk4ewt> it will boot to a console
[02:24] <kk4ewt> networking and the rest will work
[02:25] <kk4ewt> wireless might be a little harder to get going but ethernet should work fine

[03:04] <Peppernrino> anybody else having weird issues hitting the ubuntu archives from 16.04?
[03:05] <Peppernrino> i managed to hack through... just wondering if anybody else has seen what i have yet.
[03:10] <Tatou> How is ubuntu for tablets?
[03:11] <bazhang> !touch | Tatou
[03:46] <manwe> \join $oneplusx
[03:50] <thedanyes> I'm running 16.04 and I can't seem to get the vino server working. Any tips?
[03:51] <Ben64> thedanyes: can you be more specific
[03:51] <just1buck> i do NOT use windows but i bought a wincleaner usb drive for just 1 dollar in the hope that i would be able to use it as a usb flash drive under GNU/Linux. is it possible?
[03:52] <just1buck> https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/641256-hack-a-win-cleaner-usb/
[03:52] <Ben64> just1buck: probably
[03:52] <just1buck>  http://pasted.co/0959c994
[03:52] <kk4ewt> what size is it
[03:53] <Ben64> seems more like no now
[03:53] <thedanyes> Ben64: well. I used the little remote desktop configuration applet and then I tried to connect. first i tried remotely after configuring port forwarding on my router. then I tried from another machine on my lan with the tightvnc client.
[03:53] <Ben64> thedanyes: ps aux | grep vino
[03:53] <thedanyes> Ben64: I tried starting the vino-server from a terminal to try to see the output and what might be wrong, but it doesn't even register incoming connection attempts.
[03:54] <thedanyes> Ben64: it does show up in netstat -ap4n as listening on 5900 though
[03:54] <Ben64> what does netstat say exactly
[03:55] <thedanyes> tcp        0      0 <IP_ADDRESS>:5900            <IP_ADDRESS>:*               LISTEN      4070/vino-server
[03:55] <Ben64> looks like it works
[03:56] <thedanyes> when i try to connect from tightvnc client on my local machine, it says the remote machine is not responding, or something like that
[03:56] <Ben64> try using nmap on your local ip
[03:56] <thedanyes> rather, from my *other* machine, not from the same PC...
[03:57] <thedanyes> 5900/tcp open  vnc
[03:58] <Ben64> it works
[03:58] <thedanyes> yeah? well I don't know what else would be the problem then...
[03:58] <thedanyes> I can ping this PC from my other PC...
[03:58] <Ben64> either network or user problem
[03:59] <Ben64> try nmap from other pc
[03:59] <thedanyes> I just tried PuTTY from the other PC, raw connection on port 5900
[03:59] <thedanyes> timed out
[03:59] <Ben64> why putty
[03:59] <thedanyes> it's Windows.
[04:00] <Ben64> still doesn't make sense
[04:00] <thedanyes> no? I tried TightVNC client and that didn't work
[04:00] <Ben64> try nmap
[04:00] <janp01> hi
[04:03] <thedanyes> nmap requires winpcap and a bunch of bullshit
[04:04] <FrostyBytes> use tcpdump on the linux machine to see what it is getting on the network
[04:05] <FrostyBytes> like tcpdump -i eth0 "host <windows-ip>"
[04:06] <thedanyes> okay figured it out.  i had ufw running
[04:06] <thedanyes> thanks everyone :)
[04:16] <Guest96351> hello
[04:16] <Guest96351> anyone there
[04:17] <lethu> Guest96351, ask your question
[04:18] <Guest96351> my ubuntu software is not working. when i open it it dosnt show any details and after like 2 sec it closes itself
[04:19] <Guest96351> and when i install a 3rd party software it closes instanly when i click install
[04:21] <Guest96351> help
[04:22] <Guest96351> help
[04:22] <snkcld> Guest96351: what is "it"
[04:22] <Guest96351> my ubuntu software is not working. when i open it it dosnt show any details and after like 2 sec it closes itself
[04:23] <Guest96351>  and when i install a 3rd party software it closes instanly when i click install
[04:25] <Guest96351> @snkcld  my ubuntu software is not working. when i open it it dosnt show any details and after like 2 sec it closes itself and when i install a 3rd party software it closes instanly when i click install
[04:28] <snkcld> no idea what you mean by "it"
[04:28] <just1buck> i do NOT use windows but i bought a wincleaner usb drive for just 1 dollar in the hope that i would be able to use it as a usb flash drive under GNU/Linux. is it possible?
[04:28] <just1buck> https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/641256-hack-a-win-cleaner-usb/
[04:29] <just1buck> http://pasted.co/0959c994
[04:30] <just1buck> i think the wincleaner  usb device capacity is 4.3MB (yes, less than 5 megabytes!)
[04:32] <sintre> just1buck> with flash drives so inexpensive why waste your time
[04:32] <Ben64> just1buck: no
[04:32] <just1buck> Ben64, can you please elaborate?
[04:32] <Ben64> it's not possible
[04:33] <just1buck> Ben64, can you please elaborate? it's not possible is just a statement, please give detailed and technical reasons
[04:34] <Ben64> you linked to a page where they explained it, have you read that
[04:35] <just1buck> http://pasted.co/24a5931d
[04:36] <Ben64> cool, pasting stuff won't change the facts
[04:36] <sector327> .
[04:38] <snkcld> Ben64: lol
[04:38] <just1buck> Bedn64, i am desktop newbie and to a desktop newbie the information on http://pasted.co/0959c994 does not explain in plain English why the wincleaner usb device can not be used as a flash drive.
[04:39] <kk4ewt> read the page you linked its not a flash drive its a rom drive
[04:42] <one808> 噩噩噩噩噩
[04:42] <one808> 有没有人
[04:42] <FrostyBytes> just1buck: the wincleaner declares itself to the OS as a USB CD-ROM drive. so you can't write to it, even though it may use flash internally

[04:42] <kk4ewt> FrostyBytes, its a ROM
[04:42] <cfhowlett> one808, stop that. you already know this channel is english only.  play somewhere else
[04:42] <just1buck> kk4ewt, a bog standard usb flash drive can be formated as CD DIVE (iso9660). For instance, to create a usb flash drive  that can boot a GNU/Live distro
[04:43] <kk4ewt> just1buck,  that is a ROM can only be written once
[04:43] <kk4ewt> and it has been
[04:43] <FrostyBytes> kk4wet: how do you know it's a ROM? it takes a lot more capital to make a real ROM versus using an off the shelf flash part
[04:43] <kk4ewt> yes its a rom
[04:43] <kk4ewt> i have looked at them before
[04:44] <just1buck> you have? can you elaborate, please?
[04:44] <Ben64> this crap isn't on topic
[04:44] <kk4ewt> open it up and look at the parts
[04:44] <kk4ewt> google the part #
[04:47] <snkcld> i ran "grub-install  /dev/my-vg/my-lv" then "kvm -hda /dev/my-vg/my-lv", but when it boots it says that the disk is "not a bootable device"... is there anything special i have to do to get lvm volumes to work with kvm?

[05:16] <Mario88ontweet> Hi
[05:16] <Mario88ontweet> I have windows 8.1 and was wondering..
[05:17] <Mario88ontweet> If i put my PC in Legacy BIOS and install Ubuntu.. Would ubuntu mess up my windows install that is in UEFI?
[05:17] <Mario88ontweet> I don't want them both in UEFI if possible.
[05:24] <michael_> Hello
[05:29] <Kali_Yuga> hello my friend has an nvidia gefore 315 and it is overheating. he just put cooling paste on it and it is still overheating. any ideas why? we are just playing gmod... http://www0.xup.in/exec/ximg.php?fid=63983947
[05:32] <pantato> https://paste.ee/p/y5i8W <---- i cant seem to upgrade or install anything. Anyone have idea what's going on and how to remedy it?
[05:32] <Turiya> put the heatsink ontop of the thermal paste
[05:34] <pantato> o ok
[05:35] <cfhowlett> pantato, sudo apt full-upgrade
[05:35] <pantato> wont that upgrade my distro?
[05:35] <cfhowlett> no.
[05:35] <pantato> ok ill try that
[05:37] <Mario88ontweet> hello?
[05:37] <Mario88ontweet> Can i install Ubuntu in legacy BIOS and have it not effect windows 8.1 in UEFI?
[05:37] <pantato> cfhowlett: i also get the error to apt-get -f install when i do that
[05:38] <Kali_Yuga> Turiya: well he just did that. he removed the cooling ribs put some cooling paste onto the processor and put it all back together. still overheating for some reason.
[05:39] <cfhowlett> Kali_Yuga, ask in ##hardware as this is clearly not an ubuntu issue
[05:39] <Kali_Yuga> no he's using windows 8 but you guys have more clue... am I not in offtopic?
[05:40] <Kali_Yuga> sorry I thought I was in offtopic
[05:40] <cfhowlett> hardware heating sink questions have nothing to do with ubuntu
[05:40] <Kali_Yuga> cfhowlett: I know but in offtopic it doesn't matter right?
[05:40] <pantato> cfhowlett: http://i.imgur.com/lqisGgz.png
[05:41] <Kali_Yuga> I havent said anything about ubuntu. ubuntu's fine. he's using windows 8 or 10 or whatever
[05:41] <cfhowlett> which makes it ... off-topic for this channel.
[05:42] <cfhowlett> pantato, he could try purging and reinstalling the offending package.
[05:42] <Kali_Yuga> cfhowlett: where is the offtopic channel won't connect
[05:42] <Mario88ontweet> anybody?
[05:42] <cfhowlett> !ot | Kali_Yuga
[05:42] <cfhowlett> !patience | Mario88ontweet,
[05:43] <Kali_Yuga> cfhowlett: It won't connect to offtopic where did the channel go.  See original paste link
[05:47] <kk4ewt> if your scanner does it then xsane
[05:47] <kk4ewt> shouldnt have any issues
[05:48] <hanasaki> kk4ewt:  the page is actually 8.5x11 "   scanning seems to miss about 0.25 " of the width.  scaner is HP_Color_LaserJet_MFP_M277dw
[05:48] <kk4ewt> thats not legal that letter
[05:49] <hanasaki> right.
[05:49] <hanasaki> would prefer to scan letter and not loose the edge.. trying to figure out why the edige is missing and if I cannot , then I want to scan bigger and trim
[05:50] <kk4ewt> make sure you are using the correct driver for the scanner
[05:51] <hanasaki> how do check?
[05:55] <Random832> what version of grub is the 'normal' one to have installed with ubuntu? i've screwed up my installation in some interesting ways and i need to make sure i have the right version of everything or i'm not sure i'll be able to boot again
[05:56] <Random832> and what are the package names for a successful install of grub 2? "grub2" gives me dependency errors
[05:56] <Bashing-om> Random832: What release are you in reference to ?
[05:56] <Random832> 16.04
[05:57] <Random832> everything i can find indicates that grub2 is the normal version
[05:57] <Random832> but i get these errors http://paste.ubuntu.com/23726225/
[05:59] <Random832> ok it looks like the package i need might be grub-efi-amd64?
[05:59] <Random832> i just don't want to screw this up and not be able to boot, since my attempt to make a live usb failed
[06:01] <hicoleri> I shut down my computer using "systemctl shutdown". Now, when I do so systemctl kills all of the currently running applications and then shuts down the computer. Because systemctl kills the applications, any new configurations made to the applications is lost.
[06:01] <hicoleri> so, how do I make systemctl send term signals to applications instead of directly killing them?
[06:01] <Bashing-om> Random832: " sysop@x1604:~$ grub-install --version >> grub-install (GRUB) 2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3.2 " .
[06:02] <The__Goose> So, i have a weird issue
[06:03] <The__Goose> I have a USB mouse, and wireless headset. Everytime I plug the dongle in for the headset, my mouse stops working correctly
[06:03] <The__Goose> I cant click, but can still move mouse
[06:04] <Bashing-om> Random832: Try ' sudo apt install grub-pc grub-common ' .
[06:05] <Random832> no i think i've figured it out
[06:05] <Random832> "grub2" was an older transitional package name
[06:05] <Random832> and "grub" is still grub 1 for some reason
[06:05] <Random832> i think a lot of people don't ever have to see these things because the installer sets it up and they never change anything
[06:09] <UbuntuDude> dpkg -l >resulted> ii vlc 2.2.2-5 amd64 multimedia player and streamer ,, my question is, how to keep a copy of packages for offline installation?
[06:10] <Bashing-om> !aptoncd | UbuntuDude
[06:11] <UbuntuDude> ubottu: I've tried it and it doesn't list all installed packages. vlc in my case was one of the none listed
[06:11] <cfhowlett> UbuntuDude, apt-get download packagename
[06:11] <UbuntuDude> well then Bashing-om
[06:12] <The__Goose> Bashing-om: that is cool as fuck
[06:13] <UbuntuDude> thanks cfhowlett , that works
[06:13] <cfhowlett> The__Goose, drop the profanity in this channel
[06:13] <cfhowlett> UbuntuDude, happy2help!
[06:16] <The__Goose> I cannot figure out what could possibly cause this
[06:23] <UbuntuDude> cfhowlett: do you have any idea(s) on how to download the package with all its dependencies as well?
[06:23] <cfhowlett> UbuntuDude, aptoncd is the easiest way I know.
[06:23] <cfhowlett> but for a specific package
[06:24] <UbuntuDude> I donno why but on it's not showing installed packages here on xenial x64
[06:24] <cfhowlett> apt-get install -s <packagename>      will simulate the operation.  capture the output of identified packages and put that in your apt-get download
[06:25] <UbuntuDude> ok thanks
[06:25] <cfhowlett> also read the !offline suggestions
[06:38] <jnewt> I have two versions of go installed.  one at /usr/bin/go and another at /usr/local/go.  the one at /usr/local/go was installed manually from the website.  i want it to be the default and only version.
[06:39] <jnewt> $which go gives the other (/usr/bin/go).  i'd like to remove that one (it's an older version).
[06:40] <jnewt> apt doesn't think its installed
[06:43] <jnewt> should i just delete the folder /usr/bin/go ?
[06:44] <ObrienDave> i wouldn't because the menu launcher would still point to that one
[06:45] <Ben64> jnewt: you should install things properly
[06:48] <jnewt> Ben64: I reviewed the install instructions after finding the issue.  I believe I have followed them properly and ended up with the install at /usr/local/go as expected.  i had previously installed with apt (which resulted in usr/bin/go I think).  I am not convnced I have done something improperly yet.
[06:49] <jnewt> ObrienDave, what would you suggest?
[06:49] <Ben64> jnewt: installing things from source isn't properly installed
[06:50] <ObrienDave> apt type installs are supported here. manual and/or PPA installs are frowned upon for official help
[06:50] <linuxpc> hello, is ubuntu based on debian tesing or debian unstable?
[06:50] <home> need help
[06:50] <ObrienDave> linuxpc, debian release
[06:51] <workasdasd> nghtsk
[06:51] <linuxpc> what?
[06:51] <home> i have lost my root access
[06:52] <linuxpc> obrienDave, which release? testing, stable or unstable?
[06:52] <Ben64> home: boot into recovery mode to fix
[06:52] <home> how
[06:52] <Ben64> !recovery | home
[06:52] <ObrienDave> linuxpc, stable, i believe. not really sure
[06:52] <home> i tried
[06:53] <Ben64> home: what did you try exactly, and what is the exact problem
[06:53] <home> my sources.list file is missing
[06:53] <home> cannot update my archives
[06:53] <jnewt> ObrienDave, if that's the case (apt only), and apt defaults to version 1.6x and 1.7x is the current stable version available for ubuntu, then what is the official way to get it?
[06:53] <Ben64> home: ok? that wouldn't take away "root access"
[06:54] <home> i cannot mount usb or cd rom
[06:54] <Ben64> home: you should start explaining things
[06:54] <home> it is saying not authorised
[06:54] <Ben64> you're about to make my patience run out
[06:55] <home> i have upgraded from 14.04 lts to 16.04.1 lts
[06:55] <ObrienDave> jnewt, the official policy for Ubuntu is to err on the side of stability. hence you are one version behind on the newest stable release
[06:57] <home> Ben64 are you there?
[06:58] <Ben64> home: waiting for you to make some sense

[07:00] <home> sudo apt update
[07:00] <Ben64> yep, i give up. not going to fight someone in order to help
[07:01] <ObrienDave> what is the command you're issuing to get that response
[07:01] <home> sudo apt update

[07:06] <home> sorry

[07:13] <ducasse> home: here is a basic sources.list to get you going: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23726408/
[07:14] <cfhowlett> home  this might also be worth looking at:   http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/index.php
[07:16] <UbuntuDude> why in heavens VLC depends on all flightgear libraries?
[07:17] <ObrienDave> flightgear depends on VLC libraries for sound and such
[07:17] <UbuntuDude> same question goes into #vlc .. I think that is the right place to ask
[07:18] <UbuntuDude> ObrienDave: well that is why I was surprised too when I looked into apt install vlc dependencies
[07:18] <ObrienDave> oh well
[07:20] <UbuntuDude> apt install vlc >>> The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: flightgear-data-ai flightgear-data-aircrafts flightgear-data-all flightgear-data-base flightgear-data-models
[07:21] <EriC^^> that's saying it wants to remove them
[07:22] <cfhowlett> UbuntuDude, what was your exact command to install vlc?
[07:22] <EriC^^> something other than vlxc pulled them in and now its gone
[07:22] <cfhowlett> ^^^^ this ^^^^
[07:22] <priporg> why auto install packages you no longer need? strange how ubuntu works
[07:23] <cfhowlett> priporg, no that's the point; he actually did something to trigger their installation
[07:23] <EriC^^> priporg: package a was installed and it auto installed them as dependencies, package a got removed
[07:23] <UbuntuDude> cfhowlett: apt install -s vlc
[07:24] <UbuntuDude> it was about downloading vlc and its all dependencies if you remember
[07:24] <UbuntuDude> what I wanted is installing the whole thing offline
[07:25] <cfhowlett> UbuntuDude, I just ran apt install --reinstall -s vlc      http://paste.ubuntu.com/23726431/
[07:25] <UbuntuDude> so if the libraries are automatically installed and no longer required (WHY the heck is telling me that?)
[07:25] <priporg> vlc is the package that was installed with a bunch of dependencies (auto installed and no longer required). Weird.
[07:26] <UbuntuDude> well, that is a biased operating system then
[07:27] <ducasse> UbuntuDude: it is telling you that so you can remove them (with 'apt autoremove')
[07:28] <priporg> UbuntuDude, It will always auto install dependencies whether you need it or not. you can remove dependencies that are no longer required, but you still run the risk it may not work.
[07:29] <jcjordyn120> what would cause dpkg to segfault while reading *.list files?
[07:30] <priporg> UbuntuDude, I always leave dependencies alone; never remove them, just in case.
[07:31] <home> i need help
[07:32] <ObrienDave> yes, we know. apparently you don't understand that in order to help you, we need clear and concise questions and/or information
[07:33] <home> what information do you need?
[07:34] <ducasse> home: just use the sources.list i posted earlier, or the repogen someone else posted.
[07:34] <pronet> The Info about your problem..
[07:34] <ObrienDave> home, read up ^^^^        CygnusX1_> http://askubuntu.com/questions/538676/etc-apt-source-list-not-found
[07:35] <ObrienDave> people HAVE been trying to help you, either you're not following it or not paying attention. FOCUS
[07:36] <goutham> hii guys
[07:37] <home> gksudo /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:37] <home> asked for password
[07:37] <home> and nothing happened
[07:37] <cfhowlett> of course it did .. you used sudo
[07:38] <ducasse> home: you can't execute sources.list, it's not a script/program
[07:38] <cfhowlett> nothing happened because you did not specify and editor
[07:38] <home> how to specify editor
[07:39] <cfhowlett> gksudo vim or nano or gedit filename
[07:40] <priporg> what does the gk in gksudo mean?
[07:40] <cfhowlett> priporg, man gksudo will tell you
[07:40] <priporg> ok
[07:41] <metaresolve> lost my bookmark: best ubuntu learning guide?
[07:41] <hateball> !manual | metaresolve
[07:41] <cfhowlett> !manual | metaresolve is the usual suggestion
[07:41] <cfhowlett> !fcm | metaresolve also well worth reading
[07:42] <metaresolve> ty
[07:42] <jcjordyn120> never mind I got it, it was a filesystem error.
[07:43] <metaresolve> btw, found my bookmark, this is the one someone else recommended to me: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/GNU-Linux-Tools-Summary/html/book1.htm
[07:45] <priporg> is there a way to force nouveau driver to do 3D acceleration?
[07:48] <msettah> hello all; I'm hoping someone can help ... I changed my ".profile" but made a mistake, saved it, and now my terminal doesn't show a prompt or accept input it keeps looping. How do I get back into .profile if my terminal is the way I see "invisible" files?
[07:49] <priporg> msettah, undo the mistake?
[07:50] <msettah> well thats what I want to do but the problem is that I edited the .profile in nano and exited the file
[07:51] <kriptarium> You can't type anything in your terminal anymore ?
[07:51] <goutham> hii guys,I'm new to ubuntu .Can u tell me how to use vpn in ubuntu
[07:51] <msettah> no
[07:52] <msettah> that was for kriptarium
[07:52] <ObrienDave> goutham, look at vpnbook.com
[07:52] <wiselydoesit> gotta love youtube-dl, just happily downloading a full youtube channel :D
[07:52] <goutham> thanks ObrienDave
[07:53] <wiselydoesit> msettah, you might wanna look at a more personal/reliable service such as grabbing a free Amazon EC2 box and just tunneling through that.
[07:53] <kriptarium> Put the terminal in fullscreen
[07:53] <kriptarium> and try to acces with your mouse to the options in the bar
[07:53] <priporg> msettah, login under a different sudoer account and fix the .profile?
[07:54] <cfhowlett> msettah, bettter yet, login as root and delete the current .profile then reset it properly
[07:54] <sudhirkhanger> Hi when I use swap file instead of hibernating my system simply locks. There is no hibernation done. What can I do?
[07:55] <priporg> cfhowlett, how you login as root?
[07:55] <msettah> how do I do that delete .profile and login as root is terminal isn't accepting input
[07:55] <cfhowlett> msettah, FIRST login as root THEN delete the profile.  upon reboot it will reset to factory settings
[07:56] <priporg> cfhowlett, he wants to know how to login as root without a terminal. I'm curious too.
[07:56] <msettah> but I thought  I needed a terminal to login as root, how do you do that other wise cfhowlett
[07:56] <cfhowlett> msettah, yes you can.  reboot, bring up grub
[07:56] <cfhowlett> !recover | msettah
[07:57] <cfhowlett> !root
[07:57] <cfhowlett> ignore the !recover option
[07:59] <msettah> just for clarity grup accepts input the same way as when you're in a termainal? if I go to grub I'll use the same commands as I would in a terminal
[08:01] <msettah> ^*grub
[08:01] <goutham> anyone there?
[08:02] <cfhowlett> !recovery | msettah
[08:02] <priporg> msettah, yes?
[08:03] <goutham> how to use vpnbook
[08:03] <goutham> ?
[08:04] <cfhowlett> !vpn | goutham
[08:04] <wiselydoesit> ^^^
[08:04] <wiselydoesit> goutham, do you have a VPN provider?
[08:04] <goutham> I know about vpn

[08:06] <wiselydoesit> ObrienDave, you rate vpnbook for privacy/security?
[08:07] <goutham> thank u guys
[08:07] <wiselydoesit> the facts its free and hosted in romania and is using lousy encryption doesn't bother you?
[08:07] <ObrienDave> meh, i would not trust any VPN 100%
[08:07] <cfhowlett> more red flags than North Korea ...

[08:11] <wiselydoesit> if i was buying things from AB or TRDM i'd use cryptostorm, for IRC and general browsing i chose an Amazon EC2 box and sshuttle in.
[08:12] <goutham> guys,what about tor?
[08:13] <ObrienDave> it works
[08:13] <sudhirkhanger> What is the difference between canonical partners repo and multiverse/restricted?
[08:13] <goutham> whats difference?
[08:13] <ObrienDave> different packages
[08:13] <goutham> tor and vpns?
[08:13] <ObrienDave> sudhirkhanger, different packages
[08:14] <goutham> We're sorry, but this video is not available in your region due to right restrictions
[08:14] <goutham> I'm getting the above error
[08:15] <wiselydoesit> goutham, the difference between Tor and a VPN is like a white paper of an answer.
[08:15] <goutham> while downloading a tv show
[08:15] <goutham> Do u mean no difference>?
[08:15] <sudhirkhanger> ObrienDave: what differentiates them? Main, Universe, Multiverse, and Restricted are all well defined. Canonical Partners I am not able to find much info. It's also not listed in the Synaptics.
[08:15] <ducasse> !ot | goutham
[08:16] <wiselydoesit> Tor routes your data via 6 random people to mask origin, a VPN connects directly to a single server which then becomes your internet facing IP address, thats about as much as i can simplify it and as ducasse says this is #ubuntu.  you should try ##networking or something.
[08:16] <ObrienDave> sud, if you enable partners repo, it will appear in synaptics. i use synaptics all of the time
[08:17] <home> i got brokencount>0 error
[08:17] <home> so i used sudo apt-get purge
[08:18] <ObrienDave> home, sudo apt-get -f install
[08:18] <ObrienDave> fixes broken packages

[08:19] <wiselydoesit> on a more ubuntu note, am i the only person really looking forward to Unity 8
[08:19] <ducasse> home: your sources.list is broken, make a proper one.
[08:19] <ObrienDave> pretty much, yes ;P
[08:19] <wiselydoesit> i try it like once a week and add some snaps to Libertine and its getting better and better.
[08:19] <wiselydoesit> lol thank Obrien
[08:19] <home> how
[08:20] <wiselydoesit> i have a touchscreen laptop which must make a difference i suppose the UI is seriously nice on a touch device.
[08:20] <ducasse> home: https://repogen.simplylinux.ch/
[08:22] <sudhirkhanger> ObrienDave: if you go to origin section of synaptics there is no canonical partners repo just like main, universe, multiverse, restricted.
[08:22] <home> ducasse, generated list
[08:23] <ducasse> home: then save it as /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:24] <home> saved it

[08:29] <ducasse> home: you have a problem with some ppa, those are not packages from the ubuntu repos.
[08:29] <home> how to recorrect it?
[08:30] <LinuxNovice> hello, I need some help. I have lubuntu and another distro installed on my laptop. Dual booting. I want to remove the other distro and retain lubuntu only. That other was installed second. When I delete the partition containing that I can't boot into the system. Grub menu doesn't show up. What to do?
[08:31] <ducasse> home: it's just a warning, not a fatal error, so your system should still work.
[08:31] <ale> hola
[08:31] <ducasse> !ppa | home to fix, see this
[08:37] <Mr_Cyclops> Hello All. I am using Ubuntu Mate 16.04. Everytime I start to copy/paste a large number of files from one folder to another, the file manager (Caja) hangs ... and I have to resort to command line
[08:37] <Mr_Cyclops> Any clues?
[08:37] <home> ducasse, are you present
[08:37] <ducasse> !pm | home
[08:38] <LinuxNovice> hello..
[08:38] <idosedthekoolaid> i dunno Mr_Cyclops have you tried updating to newest pkges and restarting?
[08:38] <home>  ducasse, how to recover to orginal ppa
[08:38] <idosedthekoolaid> hi lin
[08:38] <idosedthekoolaid> hi LinuxNovice
[08:38] <LinuxNovice> hi.
[08:38] <Mr_Cyclops> Hello idosedthekoolaid , yes, all the time, even today, did that, restarted, but then again the same issue :(
[08:38] <ubuntu-mate> hi
[08:39] <idosedthekoolaid> Mr_Cyclops, poop
[08:39] <ducasse> !ppa-purge | home remove the ppa entirely
[08:39] <Mr_Cyclops> it copies/moves a few files, and then just hangs and I have to xkill the file copy dialog window or Caja
[08:39] <Mr_Cyclops> poop?
[08:39] <Mr_Cyclops> :-)
[08:39] <idosedthekoolaid> i'd probably use a different file manager as annoying as that may be
[08:39] <idosedthekoolaid> or just cmdline
[08:40] <idosedthekoolaid> thought that is a shit answer
[08:40] <idosedthekoolaid> considering you already are doing that :/
[08:40] <ubuntu-mate> It make me crazy. my firefox ver 50 clash all the time..
[08:40] <cfhowlett> drop the profanity in this channel idosedthekoolaid.
[08:40] <Mr_Cyclops> :-) np .. yeah no worries ... I am a LInux admin myself, so tried the basic stuff, but then had no clue why would a file manager behave like that, so came here
[08:40] <idosedthekoolaid> sure thing ;)
[08:41] <idosedthekoolaid> er i mean sure thing cfhowlett
[08:41] <LinuxNovice> I need some help guys. I have Lubuntu and another distro installed on my laptop. Want to remove the other. When I tried last time, I was unable to boot into the system. Grub menu didn't show up. What to do. The other distro was installed after Lubuntu and during installation it installed grub also, I think. I am new to linux.
[08:41] <home> ducasse, http://paste.ubuntu.com/23726641/
[08:41] <Mr_Cyclops> Can you suggest a file manager that works seemlessly with mate? since Caja seems to be pretty much integrated for mate
[08:42] <ducasse> home: you need to enable 'universe' repo
[08:42] <home> how?
[08:43] <LinuxNovice> hello, any help guys?
[08:44] <ducasse> home: i've gtg - work to do, wait and see if someone else can help.
[08:44] <raju> Hello, everyone. I have a trouble upgrading my Dell BIOS .
[08:44] <home> ubottu,org.freedesktop.PolicyKit.Error.Failed: ('system-bus-name', {'name': ':1.67'}): org.debian.apt.update-cache
[08:44] <raju> Please help me.
[08:44] <dave4925_> sweet you screwed your motherboard
[08:45] <home> org.freedesktop.PolicyKit.Error.Failed: ('system-bus-name', {'name': ':1.67'}): org.debian.apt.update-cache
[08:45] <cfhowlett> dell makes a bios update tool, raju.  use it.
[08:45] <home> check and help
[08:45] <raju> I get an error saying 'This program cannot be run in DOS mode'.
[08:45] <LinuxNovice> hello, am I invisible here?
[08:46] <cfhowlett> raju, wait are you talking about the windows update tool?
[08:46] <Ben64> raju: you're not even on ubuntu, your issue isn't an ubuntu issue, go to ##windows or ##hardware
[08:46] <idosedthekoolaid> LinuxNovice, frankly if it's a new install i'd wipe it all and install the one I want and call it a day.
[08:46] <raju> cfhowlett: No, I am using Ubuntu.
[08:46] <idosedthekoolaid> there are ways to get it to jive, but if it's fresh anyhow, why bother
[08:46] <cfhowlett> raju, what is the name of the tool you are using
[08:47] <LinuxNovice> I have two Linux OSs installed. Want to remove one and retain the other.
[08:47] <home>  cfhowlett,  org.freedesktop.PolicyKit.Error.Failed: ('system-bus-name', {'name': ':1.67'}): org.debian.apt.update-cache
[08:47] <raju> cfhowlett: I followed the instructions at https://www.chtaube.eu/computers/freedos/bootable-usb/.
[08:47] <idosedthekoolaid> right.
[08:48] <Ben64> raju: still not an ubuntu issue
[08:48] <idosedthekoolaid> what you're going to want to do is use a partitioner like gparted to delete/reappropriate the partition(s) used for the one going buyebye
[08:48] <cfhowlett> raju, right so you decided NOT to the use the dell bios upgrade tool.  not an ubuntu issue
[08:48] <LinuxNovice> how can I know where the grub is installed and how can I edit that?
[08:48] <home> got error while updating archive in software sources
[08:48] <idosedthekoolaid> and then use a livecd to boot and repair Grub
[08:48] <LinuxNovice> yes. I am using gparted.
[08:48] <raju> cfhowlett: How do I fix that ??
[08:48] <idosedthekoolaid> assuming it's using the Grub bootloader
[08:48] <Anant> I am trying to update... using sudo apt-get update but I have got the error "bad header line"
[08:49] <Anant> how can  I solve it
[08:49] <home> pls help me
[08:49] <cfhowlett> raju, go to google.  look for "dell bios upgrade tool linux".  follow directions
[08:49] <cfhowlett> !patience | home
[08:49] <LinuxNovice> I open gparted, just delete the partition where the other distro is installed.

[08:50] <cfhowlett> home no no and no.  do not send me anything via dcc especially without even asking first.
[08:50] <LinuxNovice> ok.
[08:50] <idosedthekoolaid> lasersaber, killall <appname>
[08:50] <idosedthekoolaid> or killall -9 <appname>
[08:50] <LinuxNovice> I'll try that.
[08:51] <home> sorry cfhowlett
[08:51] <idosedthekoolaid> or if appname isn't jiving, ps -e | more then find the app in the list...get its process it

[08:51] <ubuntu-mate> my live usb is ubutun-mate which is created by mkusb with the distribution iso call ubuntu-mate
[08:51] <lasersaber> idosedthekoolaid, is there a "force kill" icon i can add to the taskbar panel?
[08:52] <idosedthekoolaid> good luck LinuxNovice :)
[08:52] <idosedthekoolaid> there *is* an "xkill"
[08:52] <idosedthekoolaid> it's a separate program
[08:52] <idosedthekoolaid> but if you apt-get install xkill you cancreate a shortcut to it
[08:52] <idosedthekoolaid> and when you click shortcut, it'll have you point cursor at app to kill and viola

[09:42] <angel-swe> Hi... how do I update & upgrade my ubuntu in terminal
[09:42] <angel-swe> there was a change with apt-get and apt only
[09:42] <sebsebseb> angel-swe: which version  you on now?
[09:43] <cfhowlett> angel-swe, sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade

[09:43] <sebsebseb> !version

[09:43] <raju> cfhowlett: There are a lot of options there. Which one do I install :- Standard, Legacy or another ?
[09:45] <sebsebseb> cfhowlett: what's the difference between that and sudo do-release-upgrade ?
[09:45] <angel-swe> sebsebseb, Ubuntu 16.10
[09:45] <cfhowlett> none of those apply here raju.  no idea what you are looking at
[09:45] <sebsebseb> angel-swe: then there is no new version to ugprade to, only security updates to install if anything
[09:46] <cfhowlett> sebsebseb, sebsebseb do-release-upgrade changes ubuntu versions.  full-upgrade does not
[09:46] <raju> cfhowlett: See the problem is My wifi adapter stopped working in my ubuntu. Even after doing numerous things, nothing helped.
[09:46] <cfhowlett> and ... ?
[09:46] <raju> cfhowlett: So, Blueskaj suggested that I do a BIOS update and that is why I am asking you for help.
[09:46] <sebsebseb> cfhowlett: ok wll I just did a do releae upgrade, 16.04 to 16.10 that was the intention
[09:47] <cfhowlett> eyp
[09:47] <sebsebseb> cfhowlett: still going to hae to re install this system eventually though,  since previous issues with the unity 8 ppa etc, but yeah
[09:47] <cfhowlett> raju, OK.  follow the link guide
[09:48] <angel-swe> So how do I do the update sebsebseb with apt or apt-get
[09:48] <sebsebseb> !upgrade
[09:48] <sebsebseb> !update
[09:49] <cfhowlett> udpate or upgrade, angel-swe?  be precise
[09:50] <raju> cfhowlett: I am following the guide in the link. I am pretty sure that I do not have a UEFI capsule supported device. Second, My system is of before 2015. Thirdly, I am getting stuck at FreeDOS.
[09:50] <raju> cfhowlett: Please help me. I am getting really desperate.
[09:51] <cfhowlett> stuck at freedos = ?
[09:51] <raju> cfhowlett: Which ISO do I need to Download ?
[09:51] <angel-swe> cfhowlett, I am not sure what is an upgrade for ubuntu actually. I just want my ubuntu be up to date for security issues and improvements..
[09:52] <cfhowlett> raju, asked and answered already
[09:52] <cfhowlett> angel-swe, sudo apt full-upgrade
[09:52] <angel-swe> cfhowlett, that would update & upgrade ? both?

[12:20] <cfoch> do you have both?
[12:21] <Guest12551> Can someone help me out with this? My USB drive is coming up as read only and I have no idea how to change it.
[12:21] <angel-swe> No one even seen my question I guess

[12:22] <Guest12551> http://termbin.com/i2y7
[12:22] <ducasse> cfoch: the first one is a symlink to the actual version through the alternatives system, so that more than one version can be installed

[12:23] <Guest12551> "mount: cannot remount /dev/sdb1 read-write, is write-protected"
[12:24] <EriC^^> Guest12551: maybe the usb has a switch on the side or something?
[12:24] <Guest12551> It does, I tried it both ends of the switch and I get the same problem.
[12:24] <Guest12551> It was working before I formatted it in GParted, perhaps that caused the problem?
[12:24] <ifgem> I have some problems with dual boot(windows, ubuntu): my boot is set in ntfs, so I can't check esp option. What should I do?:)
[12:25] <EriC^^> Guest12551: seems unlikely

[12:25] <Guest12551> Just unplugged, tried the switch again, still an error.
[12:25] <cfhowlett> esp option?
[12:25] <Guest12551> Zero it out? Not sure what you mean.

[12:28] <Haris> on ubuntu 14.4 lts/apache2, I am showing a request having been logged with timestamp that was some mins behind .. around the time it was logged in accesss log. difference is around 8 mins.

[12:28] <cfhowlett> ask your ubuntu question SagelessFox
[12:28] <EriC^^> ifgem: type "sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 9999"
[12:28] <EriC^^> Guest12551: does "dmesg | tail" show anything interesting?
[12:28] <Haris> looks like apache logging continued to function around this event

[12:34] <EriC^^> Guest12551: if it can't dd to it, then maybe it's a hardware issue
[12:34] <EriC^^> cause dd doesn't care what's mounted and stuff
[12:34] <SagelessFox> yes I can. full upgrade, are you sure?
[12:34] <SagelessFox> what I see is just permission problems...I suppose
[12:34] <Guest12551> EriC^^: I'll try my other reader
[12:35] <EriC^^> Guest12551: maybe the switch is stuck, or maybe try another usb port
[12:35] <EriC^^> Guest12551: do you have a live usb you could boot so you know you're not missing any driver files or something for it?
[12:36] <cfhowlett> SagelessFox, if you understand english, do sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade | LC_All=C | pastebinit

[12:37] <j41> !pastebin | SagelessFox
[12:38] <SagelessFox> OK..
[12:40] <SagelessFox> http://paste.ubuntu.com/23727349/ OK.. my question again. Encountered problem during the update process. Error msg as pasted
[12:40] <SagelessFox> and there are translations
[12:41] <cfhowlett> SagelessFox, do sudo apt update | LC_All=C | pastebinit

[12:43] <EriC^^> cfhowlett: isn't it LC_ALL=C sudo apt update ?
[12:43] <cfhowlett> SagelessFox, then do sudo apt full-upgrade | LC_All=C | pastebinit
[12:43] <cfhowlett> EriC^^, I've only seen it with the LC command at the end but I suppose it could go the other way
[12:43] <SagelessFox> are you sure I need full-upgrade?
[12:43] <EriC^^> cfhowlett: aha, i've never seen it in a pipe
[12:44] <j41> SagelessFox: Yes
[12:45] <SagelessFox> OK..ty, will try

[12:47] <cfoch> hi

[12:53] <backbox> hi

[13:05] <mmalakchi> Hi! I executed some commands and I want revert these changes back. I can write those commands to someone who can help privately so not clutter the main chat
[13:05] <cfhowlett> SagelessFox, sudo apt full-upgrade | LC_ALL =C | pastebinit
[13:05] <EriC^^> mmalakchi: put them in a pastebin
[13:06] <cfhowlett> SagelessFox, sudo apt full-upgrade | LC_ALL=C | pastebinit
[13:06] <xdevnull>  I've root dir called "parent" with sub directory. I've several file extension with this dirs. Is it possible to copy all the dirs with all files for specific file extension.
[13:06] <xdevnull> Like keep the same dir strucute but only copy .txt files? and ignore other extensions?
[13:06] <SagelessFox> OK..I try again
[13:07] <ducasse> !pm | mmalakchi
[13:09] <SagelessFox> cfhowlett
[13:09] <SagelessFox>  I reviewed the error again. I am not sure if the source is working
[13:09] <SagelessFox> http://<IP_ADDRESS>/
[13:10] <SagelessFox> and so do this one
[13:10] <SagelessFox> http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial-security/restricted/dep11/Components-amd64.yml
[13:10] <simon_g> SagelessFox, link doesn't work
[13:11] <simon_g> neither does with the .xml or .html extension
[13:11] <SagelessFox> so there are something wrong with the apt source?
[13:12] <cfhowlett> SagelessFox, that is not the paste from your output
[13:12] <akik> cfhowlett: usually you would run "LC_ALL=C command" to change the locale for that command
[13:13] <SagelessFox> ah I see
[13:13] <SagelessFox> the error change
[13:13] <SagelessFox> the error chanes

[13:14] <cfhowlett> akik, or put it through a pipe
[13:14] <EriC^^> does it work with a pipe? i'm kind of curious
[13:14] <cfhowlett> EriC^^, seems to
[13:14] <EriC^^> isn't it supposed that the program checks the locale and gives the msg in whatever language?
[13:15] <EriC^^> in a pipe wouldn't the program run already and then it's passing stdout to another shell with the env variable there? or like the shell runs that first and .. it's odd

[14:17] <Mis-anthrope> I am using ubuntu 16.04 server (x86) with vbox. I have installed openbox as WM. After installing VBoxGuestAdditions, my server crashes the minute I run startx. There are a lot of crash logs and I dunno which log to look up to see what the problem actually is.. I looked up Xorg log and it only has information about starting up X and not why it crashed..  I am using vbox 5.1.2 ...Any suggestions?
[14:17] <backbox> guys help me to put blackbox on full screen using virtualbox
[14:17] <cfhowlett> !blackbox | backbox

[14:19] <backbox> help me people please
[14:20] <cfhowlett> backbox, your OS is not supported here.  go ask #backbox or #vbox.
[14:21] <backbox> cfhowlett i have to ask you cause you are the one saying it
[14:21] <cfhowlett> backbox, you asked about backbox.  backbox is not ubuntu and is not supported here.
[14:22] <backbox> ooooh okay thanks. so which one is supported here?

[14:28] <Mis-anthrope> oh ok
[14:29] <akik> Mis-anthrope: look into /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[14:30] <akik> Mis-anthrope: or was that the one you looked into already?
[14:30] <Mis-anthrope> akik: I did look into it.. all it has is the info about initialization of X.. nothing about the crash..
[14:30] <Mis-anthrope> wait.. lemme pastebin it ..
[14:31] <akik> Mis-anthrope: you can use "startx -- -verbose 6 -logverbose 6"

[14:36] <yellabs-r2> so that the script at start shows an icon on the terminal
[14:36] <yellabs-r2> when running script
[14:37] <yellabs-r2> all tips are welcome
[14:37] <yellabs-r2> ;)
[14:37] <akik> yellabs-r2: you could use netpbm programs to convert the picture

[14:41] <BluesKaj> Unhammer, ok, dunno much about that, i leave that to the on the job users
[14:42] <CarlFK> yellabs-r2: "display" will do that, but I'm still not sure if that is what you want
[14:43] <yellabs-r2> display pops up a new window , guess i will have to find a switch to get it inside the termninal

[15:00] <Firefly67> How is partitioning an SSD different from partitioning a HDD? I want to dual install Windows 10 and Ubuntu 16
[15:00] <Firefly67> and the SSD is only 256 GB
[15:00] <elias_a> Firefly67: AFAIK it is not different.
[15:01] <geirha> cfoch: A few notes: 1. Most of the variable names should be lowercased. 2. Make sure you test if cd succeeds before carrying on. 3. Quote expansions to avoid wordsplitting and pathname expansion. 4. Use [[ and (( rather than [. 5. Use printf rather than echo. 6. Don't put -i in the shebang
[15:01] <BluesKaj> Firefly67, nothing different, ceate your partitions using the same method as any other drive
[15:01] <hateball> Mis-anthrope: running X like that is not a supported way in Ubuntu. And I saw you post in ubuntu-server, so you're not actually running ubuntu-desktop
[15:02] <geirha> cfoch: the actual error is probably because of 2
[15:02] <Mis-anthrope> hateball: someone there adviced me to post my doubt here.. and I just type in startx in the ubuntu server to start Xorg..
[15:02] <Mis-anthrope> hateball: I have mentioned that I am using ubuntu server in my problem above.. :)
[15:05] <Ragecraze> guys i have internet issues on ubuntu, please help me!!

[15:07] <akik> Mis-anthrope: if you just startx from the shell, you don't need to add lightdm, sorry!
[15:08] <Ragecraze> why does my laptop stop having internet after i restart ubuntu?? please help!!
[15:08] <Mis-anthrope> akik: but the logverbose isnt working with startx
[15:09] <akik> Mis-anthrope: "startx -- -verbose 6 -logverbose 6" ?
[15:09] <Mis-anthrope> what does the 6 mean.. if you dont mind me asking :)
[15:10] <akik> Mis-anthrope: it's the verbosity level
[15:11] <Mis-anthrope> okzz.. my machine crashed.. will post log in a minute
[15:11] <akik> Mis-anthrope: do you mean that the host crashes or the vbox vm?
[15:12] <Mis-anthrope> akik: vbox vm..
[15:12] <Mis-anthrope> akik: my host is fine..

All went well, however, the server still boots from /dev/md0 instead of the new SSD. Do I have to destroy md0 (or its boot installation) or can I somehow decide which device has precedence?

[15:42] <marty74> Hi. I've got a question concerning the power button handling when the screen is locked. Which program handles the power button in this case? I've configured the power button to suspend the system when pressed in the system settings. But this only works when I'm logged in and the screen is not locked.
[15:42] <marty74> So I always have to unlock the screen to make the power button work. As a workaround I've modified powerbtn.sh to always suspend the system, but this is a very bad hack
[15:42] <jayjo> can i remove syslog or should i truncate it after a certain point for something? It looks like it has a graphics card error that is filling it multiple times per second

[16:04] <EriC^^> mmalakchi: looks good i guess
[16:04] <EriC^^> !info i3
[16:05] <bt_2987> quick question: how would I move all files except those with a file name ending with certain characters? I have a folder full of .mp4 files and each file ends with its resolution 1080p or 720p, which I would like to sort into folders corresponding to that size. I have tried grep but mv takes two arguments...
[16:05] <EriC^^> mmalakchi: mm it's supposed to be 4.12-2
[16:05] <EriC^^> mmalakchi: try apt-cache policy i3
[16:08] <Mis-anthrope> akik: ok so I think I have pin pointed the problem.. when I startx, everything runs fine.. but when I start with xterm, thats when the system crashes..
[16:09] <mmalakchi> EriC^^: I don't know what "mm" means, result of command execution, here: http://pastebin.com/SLAgPsM3
[16:09] <Mis-anthrope> What I cant figure out is why? Why is it that my ubuntu server crashes only when I run xterm and not otherwise
[16:10] <EriC^^> mmalakchi: it's an expression
[16:11] <anom> The dell xps13 has a displayport 1.2, will I be able to daisy chain with it?
[16:11] <anom> not sure if ubuntu has that functionality yet
[16:11] <EriC^^> mmalakchi: well, the package seems to still be the i3 one, i guess ppa-purge didn't remove everything
[16:12] <mmalakchi> EriC^^: for me it looks the same, even thought I understand much less then you
[16:12] <EriC^^> mmalakchi: do grep -H ^ /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*
[16:12] <EriC^^> mmalakchi: it is the same, the i3 one is 4.13-1, it's supposed to revert it back to 4.12 the repo version
[16:14] <EriC^^> it's pretty odd, it installed sur5r from the ppa, hehe
[16:14] <akik> Mis-anthrope: does it happen with any x11 app? xeyes, rxvt, etc.
[16:15] <Chaser> bt_2987: may be something like (with out the quotes) "mkdir -p ~/1080p; find <path to your .mp4 files> -name '*1080p' -exec mv -t ~/1080p {} +"   You can also ask in #bash if thats your shell.
[16:15] <akik> Mis-anthrope: you could get better help from #vbox

[16:20] <EriC^^> mmalakchi: i made a command that gets the list of installed packages found in the ppa, we can try to manually revert everything
[16:21] <ducasse> bangolio: 17.04 is under development, try #ubuntu+1 if that is the version you are trying to install
