[00:03] <wafflejock> MrVamps, not sure exactly what you're looking to try and do but maybe can just start with the ubuntu server image and add your own set of packages https://askubuntu.com/questions/31081/whats-the-difference-between-the-server-version-and-the-desktop-version  this may be of interest too https://www.linuxvoice.com/build-your-own-linux-distro/  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DerivativeDistroHowto
[00:13] <courrier> Jordan_U: sorry for the delay, yeah my AP is pretty old
[00:13] <courrier> only support 2.4
[00:30] <mantissa> Is there a way to remove the mount points left behind by removed snaps?
[00:31] <CuriousErnestBro> where is it sensible to install a zip file?
[00:34] <Squarism> is someone hacking the repos?
[00:34] <Squarism> i get lots of : E: The repository 'http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu zesty-security Release' does no longer have a Release file.
[00:34] <tomreyn> !zesty | Squarism
[00:35] <TJ-> !eol | Squarism
[00:35] <Squarism> ouch, not even supported for a year
[00:35] <Squarism> didnt know it was so short
[00:35] <Squarism> never a non LTS release again then i guess
[00:36] <TJ-> Squarism: if you want to upgrade to 17.10 from 17.04 it's just a case of "do-release-upgrade", then you can upgrade to 18.04 LTS after it is released in April
[00:36] <Squarism> TJ-, what are the odds for do-release-upgrade failing?
[00:37] <CuriousErnestBro> where do I install jdk?
[00:37] <CuriousErnestBro> in /usr/share?
[00:37] <tomreyn> CuriousErnestBro: what are you trying to do?
[00:38] <[FreeBSD]> CuriousErnestBro: you generally use the package manager over manually
[00:38] <CuriousErnestBro> tomreyn, install jdk
[00:38] <CuriousErnestBro> there is no package manager
[00:38] <TJ-> Squarism: it's the standard path; if we had significant failures Ubuntu wouldn't exist :D
[00:38] <[FreeBSD]> i.e using the official one or using some repo
[00:38] <CuriousErnestBro> except for "rpm" and I don't think I have rmp
[00:38] <tomreyn> CuriousErnestBro: sure there's a package manager, it's called apt.
[00:38] <tomreyn> CuriousErnestBro: that's if you run ubuntu
[00:38] <[FreeBSD]> CuriousErnestBro: you generally don't need to manually download and install packages / programs on Linux
[00:39] <CuriousErnestBro> tomreyn, yes, but I can only install openjdk, but i want the real jdk
[00:39] <Squarism> TJ-, just my first time running non LTS and its my work laptop
[00:39] <Squarism> =D
[00:39] <TJ-> !info openjdk-9-jdk | CuriousErnestBro
[00:39] <CuriousErnestBro> oracle's
[00:39] <tomreyn> CuriousErnestBro: openjdk is "the real jdk"
[00:39] <CuriousErnestBro> I also need to install another zip file: Xmind
[00:39] <TJ-> CuriousErnestBro: there's very little difference between them now, aside from some proprietary sun.* bits
[00:39] <Squarism> hmmm... it says upgrade can take "Several hours"
[00:39] <Squarism> is that the normal case?
[00:39] <CuriousErnestBro> that one isn't in the apt
[00:39] <TJ-> CuriousErnestBro: I run xmind on openjdk
[00:40] <CuriousErnestBro> TJ-,okay but where do you have xmind saved?
[00:40] <CuriousErnestBro> like where do i extract it to?
[00:41] <TJ-> CuriousErnestBro: hang on, I'll find it and tell you!
[00:44] <TJ-> CuriousErnestBro: OK, I did "mkdir -p /opt/xmind/8/; sudo chown -R $USER:adm /opt/xmind; sudo chmod -R g+w /opt/xmind; cd /opt/xmind/8; unzip $HOME/Downloads/xmind-8-update6-linux.zip"
[00:46] <CuriousErnestBro> wow! thank you!
[00:47] <TJ-> CuriousErnestBro: I think I then created a .desktop file in $HOME/.local/share/applications/
[00:48] <TJ-> CuriousErnestBro: the .desktop file means the GUI gets an icon and launcher entry... but strangely I can't find my file now, think it's on another PC!
[00:48] <CuriousErnestBro> this is helpful enough, thanks!
[00:48] <CuriousErnestBro> I'll google how to make a desktop file :)
[00:50] <TJ-> CuriousErnestBro: OH! I used an installer that does it all from https://github.com/dinos80152/XMind-Linux-Installer
[00:50] <TJ-> CuriousErnestBro: So it seems I've got 2 installs - 1 I did originally and the one this tool did :D
[00:53] <CuriousErnestBro> alright, I'll use that then. it has some issues now, see if this resolves them
[00:55] <TJ-> CuriousErnestBro: there's also a proper Debian package from http://www.xmind.net/xmind/downloads/xmind-8-beta-linux_amd64.deb
[01:02] <Sean_McG> anyone tried to build linux-image-4.13.0-31 from source? All I really need is kvm-amd.ko with the NPT patch but I don't know how to build it and keep the module version the same
[01:02] <Sean_McG> I didn't have difficulty with 4.13.0-26 so I'm not sure what changed
[01:02] <TJ-> Sean_McG: NPT?
[01:02] <Sean_McG> Nested Page Tables
[01:04] <Sean_McG> TJ-: basically this: https://level1techs.com/article/patch-npt-ryzen-better-performance -- which is more or less backporting a patch from 4.14.x to 4.13.x
[01:05] <CuriousErnestBro> TJ-, you aren't on 17.10 are you?
[01:06] <TJ-> CuriousErnestBro: no
[01:06] <TJ-> Sean_McG: pop into #ubuntu-kernel - I'm thinking that's something we might want to provide via the HWE kernels
[01:07] <Sean_McG> TJ-: good idea, will do
[01:22] <iampete> hey, I'm having an issue with the ubuntu PPAs. for some reason apt is ignoring some of the yakkety PPAs and 404 is returned on others. https://pastebin.com/qUiDDENa
[01:23] <iampete> how do I fix this?
[01:23] <TJ-> !yakkety
[01:23] <TJ-> !eol | iampete
[01:26] <iampete> thanks TJ- , will upgrading have side effects? Is it safer/better to do a fresh install?
[01:28] <iampete> nvm just saw the upgrade link
[01:37] <BillD73> so I have the dafault desktop for Ubuntu 16.04 as well as installed XFCE and XUbunut, I fail to see the difference between XFCE and XUbuntu when I select a different from the menu prior to logging in, they look exactly the same. Also my login always shows a lil mouse even if I choose Unity. Am I missing something?
[01:38] <xangua> Xubuntu uses the Xfce desktop, yes
[01:39] <[FreeBSD]> BillD73: xubuntu is ubuntu base with xfce desktop
[01:39] <[FreeBSD]> if you installed xfce on normal ubuntu, you could switch between the desktops
[01:40] <BillD73> so one or the other would have been fine?
[01:40] <[FreeBSD]> yes
[01:41] <[FreeBSD]> is "xubuntu" an actual package?
[01:41] <BillD73> its not a space issue just was trying to find a smoother desktop for this older ASUS Eee PC laptop
[01:41] <[FreeBSD]> lxde is even lighter
[01:41] <BillD73> yes they were installed separately.
[01:43] <BillD73> ok. all the GUI programs I installed under unity, will they need to be reinstalled for XFCE/XUbuntu? to funtion in the respective GUIs?
[01:43] <[FreeBSD]> BillD73: no
[01:43] <BillD73> excellent.
[01:43] <[FreeBSD]> the only thing that will change is the actual desktop / look of it
[01:43] <Insectorx> #ubuntu
[01:43] <[FreeBSD]> programs are seperate
[01:44] <[FreeBSD]> regardless of the desktop they will always be there
[01:44] <BillD73> ok, I mean I like this UNtiy setup and Im used to it but it just has issues with this lowend laptop lol
[01:45] <TJ-> there's not a lot of difference between xubuntu and lubuntu desktop either in terms of packages or space used
[01:45] <Insectorx> I just installed ubuntu mate 17.10 on my 1.5ghz core solo and its running slow.  Much slower than windows 7.   Is this normal.  I though linux was supposed to be faster.
[01:45] <krytarik> BillD73: As to the difference between the Xubuntu and Xfce sessions: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2188950&p=12852772#post12852772
[01:46] <[FreeBSD]> BillD73: in xfce settings, disable compositing
[01:46] <[FreeBSD]> it will be snappier
[01:46] <Sean_McG> especially since an Eee doesn't have a GPU
[01:47] <[FreeBSD]> of if you want to get max speed go for i3, openbox, lxde or something really light
[01:47] <TJ-> BillD73: the issue with slowness may be the GPU rendering, because Unity/Gnome require hardware accelerated compositor to be usuable generally
[01:47] <[FreeBSD]> they use next to no ram / no gpu
[01:47] <Insectorx> Im new to ubuntu and my research pointed me to try mate but its running much slower than windows 7.   Should i try an older system version or what?
[01:47] <TJ-> They've all got a GPU else there'd be no video :)
[01:48] <Sean_McG> I meant it's probably not a 3D accelerator
[01:48] <TJ-> it might even have an Intel GMA450/500
[01:48] <Insectorx> ?
[01:48] <[FreeBSD]> Insectorx: slower in what way? boot / general use?
[01:49] <Insectorx> Well the boot is a little slower, but thats ok.   The general use is like slug snot
[01:49] <[FreeBSD]> Insectorx: it's a bit vague tbh, like depends what you're running etc
[01:49] <V7> Hey all
[01:49] <V7> Do spf needs dkim ?
[01:50] <Sean_McG> according to Wikipedia, many of the Eee devices were Intel Atom N270
[01:50] <[FreeBSD]> there's no way it should be slower than win7
[01:50] <Insectorx> Its a fresh install of ubuntu mate 17.10.  Ive only installed gimp chrome and spotify
[01:50] <Sean_McG> and yes, GMA900 or similar
[01:50] <Sean_McG> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asus_Eee_PC
[01:51] <Sean_McG> so I guess I'm wrong
[01:51] <Insectorx> Should i try xfce maybe?
[01:51] <BillD73> TJ-: yeah  this dont have a "GPU" to really enjoy Unity lol
[01:51] <[FreeBSD]> Insectorx: if it's a clean install you might as well try all the main ones
[01:51] <rangergord> Hi. Does anyone here run Ubuntu GUI apps on Windows 10's WSL? I got X apps to work, but they look very blurry on my hi-DPI screen. I can't find a way to make them look nice. I tried playing with the DPI options of the X server (tried both vcxsrv and MobaXterm), to no avail.
[01:52] <[FreeBSD]> ive never used mate but afaik it was designed to be gnome2, which wasn't exactly "slow"
[01:52] <Sean_McG> rangergord: HiDPI is a big issue for some X apps, especially if they use older libraries like Qt4
[01:52] <Insectorx> Is there any reason why this would happen?   Is it worth me trying the other types of linux?  Or it it still going to cause problems?  Because this is my work computer and its important that it actually works
[01:53] <[FreeBSD]> Insectorx: it won't be ubuntu, the only thing i can think of is maybe the gpu, is it nvidia?
[01:53] <Insectorx> Its a laptop, i dont know
[01:53] <Bashing-om> !ubuwin | rangergord Better support :
[01:53] <rangergord> Sean_McG: even Sublime Text looks blurry. It doesn't seem to be ap-specific
[01:54] <Insectorx> So ubuntu doesnt work with nvidia?
[01:54] <[FreeBSD]> Insectorx: try lubuntu, or lxde as it's a desktop out the box and is fast
[01:54] <[FreeBSD]> Insectorx: it does
[01:54] <Sean_McG> rangergord: I dunno... font smoothing settings in the X server?
[01:54] <[FreeBSD]> Insectorx: but uses a slower driver by default (nouveau)
[01:55] <Insectorx> Good to know.   I typically use nvidia gpus exclusively if i have the choice.   Is there an nvidia friendly distro?  Because ubuntu sounds like it cant handle it very well.
[01:56] <[FreeBSD]> Insectorx: no, the nvidia driver is the same on any distro
[01:56] <TJ-> Insectorx: Ubuntu bends over backwards to make it easy to install and use nvidia drivers
[01:56] <rangergord> Sean_McG: no such option unfortunately. I guess I should ask on askubuntu, more likely to have people in this scenario, eh?
[01:56] <[FreeBSD]> Insectorx: linux is linux at the end of the day
[01:57] <TJ-> Insectorx: try "ubuntu-drivers list"
[01:57] <Sean_McG> I'm using an nVidia GTX 550Ti on this machine with the graphics-drivers PPA
[01:57] <Insectorx> I assume the reason that one distro will work better than another is because of the hardware being used.   So, is there a list of FULLY compatible hardware for each distro?   ie-ubuntu
[01:57] <[FreeBSD]> Insectorx: the hardware will be the same
[01:58] <[FreeBSD]> Insectorx: it's built into the kernel. Distros differ mainly on their package manager, default desktop and support
[01:59] <[FreeBSD]> Insectorx: and other stuff but not major, like default settings / configs and installed packages. You will find you just like the style / way of maintaining one over the other
[02:00] <Insectorx> You say "linux is linux", but im new to it, so i dont know what that means tbh.  Im trying to learn, but it seems unnecessarily difficult.   Is it worth the learning curve?  I feel like i practially have to go to college to use it
[02:01] <Insectorx> Im not talking smack, i just really want to know
[02:01] <Sean_McG> it doesn't coddle you like Windows does.
[02:01] <[FreeBSD]> Insectorx: stick with ubuntu as you're already on it. it's not hard, just might seem odd coming from windows. you will learn as you go. don't get headfucked by 1000 distros
[02:01] <rangergord> Insectorx: sorry, I'm new to the convo. If you're a beginner, I recommend using Ubuntu. Generally best driver support and ease of life. Also the most popular.
[02:01] <Insectorx> Ok.
[02:02] <rangergord> Insectorx: as for "learning Linux": only learn what you actually need. It's an OS like any other, though for technical people it gives a huge advantage since you have more control, and it's perpetually free so you can install it wherever without violating the law (super important for working people)
[02:02] <[FreeBSD]> Insectorx: when i say linux is linux, i mean the base stuff going on is the same across, just different ways of doing stuff, like different commands for installing packages.
[02:02] <davi_> oie :3
[02:02] <rangergord> I've been using Linux for years and I haven't bothered learning bash scripting. Or 95% of commands really.
[02:02] <Insectorx> Thanks for the info
[02:02] <mbrigdan> Hey guys, getting a weird issue with search-as-you-type in the save/open file dialog (I believe its the GTKFileChooser?) When I first type a letter to search for a file, the letter gets "repeated". Anybody seen something like this before?
[02:03] <[FreeBSD]> rangergord: oh the fun you're missing out on
[02:03] <rangergord> [FreeBSD]: how so? I just write stuff in python cause it's way easier
[02:03] <[FreeBSD]> ah right, smart answer lol
[02:03] <rangergord> I don't need "clever one-liners" that are indecipherable, I don't mind writing 5 simpler lines if it does the job :)
[02:04] <[FreeBSD]> bash scripts just make life easy
[02:05] <Sean_McG> +1
[02:06] <rangergord> Insectorx: what's your planned usage for Linux? Casual desktop use? Work? (if so, doing what)
[02:07] <Sean_McG> OK, back later. have to reboot to test something and then going to go watch some TV
[02:07] <Sean_McG> take care folks
[02:08] <rangergord> adios
[02:08] <Insectorx> Im a tattoo artist and i want to be able to use gimp chrome and spotify. Thats it
[02:09] <rangergord> Are you running Ubuntu yet? Or still in the trial phase?
[02:09] <rangergord> or rather, research
[02:09] <west_harding> part
[02:10] <Insectorx> Also i sure hope it can work with my hp printer
[02:10] <rangergord> I've never used a printer, but the other 3 will run without issues
[02:11] <[FreeBSD]> Insectorx: you just have to be willing to learn and be patient.
[02:12] <rangergord> Insectorx: are you on Windows right now?
[02:12] <Insectorx> Theres a 7.5 hour course on linux on youtube.  I guess thats what ill have to do.
[02:12] <[FreeBSD]> Insectorx: you won't need to honestly
[02:12] <Insectorx> Well ive been using windows 7 for this machine.  So now i have it set up as a dual boot
[02:13] <rangergord> Insectorx: you should TRY before you install it.   Hang on I'll look it up
[02:13] <kk4ewt> after you use linux for a little while you will give up on windows
[02:13] <kk4ewt> rangergord,  its called a live image
[02:13] <[FreeBSD]> kk4ewt: unless you play games or need stuff like photoshop
[02:14] <BillD73> in XFCE the little panel at the bootom what that called and can you "hide" it?
[02:14] <[FreeBSD]> BillD73: right click on it
[02:14] <[FreeBSD]> i think it's under properties
[02:14] <rangergord> Insectorx: use this guide to create a Ubuntu image on a USB key: https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-create-a-usb-stick-on-windows#0   . Once you do this and boot from USB, select "Try Ubuntu without installing" or whatever the option is called. Install Chrome, install GIMP, ensure things work pleasantly.
[02:14] <Insectorx> I did run it off a live usb first, but i assumed it was running slow because it was running off usb 2.0
[02:15] <[FreeBSD]> Insectorx: yes live is slower
[02:15] <rangergord> naturally. USB 2 is limited to 30MB/s.
[02:15] <[FreeBSD]> a lot slower
[02:15] <rangergord> and yeah, the live version will constantly be decompressing
[02:15] <Insectorx> Thats the only problem tho.  Is that its running slow.   So i guess live wont work to see about that, huh?
[02:16] <BillD73> got it, tis panel 2 lol  duh
[02:16] <rangergord> Insectorx: I use both Linux and Windows and speed is not specific to the OS, but the hardware it's running on. You will definitely see a huge speed increase off a real drive, and even moreso on an SSD.
[02:17] <Insectorx> Ok so i installed ubuntu mate on the hard drive and its running slow.   I installed it "next "to windows 7.  Is there an easy way to reinstall another distro without affecting windows?
[02:18] <[FreeBSD]> Insectorx: so ubuntu and win 7 are on same hdd?
[02:18] <rangergord> [FreeBSD]: maybe you can advise him on something. I personally never update the kernel once Ubuntu is installed, since I'm from the "if it ain't broke, don't touch it" school of life. But I also run Ubuntu inside VMs with all important files backed up. Is disabling kernel updates something a desktop user should do?
[02:18] <Insectorx> Yes
[02:19] <[FreeBSD]> rangergord: i would always keep the kernel up to date if you care about security or new features
[02:19] <rangergord> do you actually get new features on the same Ubuntu release? I thought it was just security updates?
[02:19] <[FreeBSD]> rangergord: no idea probably not, but there's no harm keeping it up to date
[02:19] <[FreeBSD]> takes 2 seconds
[02:20] <Insectorx> Freebsd: yes
[02:21] <[FreeBSD]> Insectorx: if they're on the same HDD, if you reinstall Ubuntu, it will overwrite the bootloader. It just means you might have to mess about putting windows on if it's not autodetected
[02:21] <segersjerry> Insectorx, I would suggest trying krita as well as gimp.
[02:22] <rangergord> [FreeBSD]: should probably link him a foolproof guide if he's a newbie
[02:23] <rangergord> Insectorx: back up all your important Windows files to an external drive just in case
[02:23] <[FreeBSD]> rangergord: yeah just warning him it might take a slight bit of messing around if you're new
[02:25] <Insectorx> Hmm.   Honestly it sounds to me like im not qualified to do uninstall ubuntu if it might delete windows (not an option).   So i guess my ubuntu days are numbered
[02:25] <Insectorx> That didnt last long lol
[02:26] <rangergord> Insectorx: it won't delete Windows unless you specifically tell it to erase an existing partition. I said this in case you mess up and do that.
[02:26] <[FreeBSD]> Insectorx: no, you won't remove windows, i meant remove windows entry from the bootloader screen
[02:26] <Insectorx> I have some software installed on windows that i dont want to have to reinstall (i dont have the serial number anymore)
[02:26] <[FreeBSD]> Insectorx: but surely you installed ubuntu after windows anyway?
[02:27] <Insectorx> Yeah i installed ubuntu today.  Windows 7 has been on there for 3+years
[02:27] <[FreeBSD]> so if it's on the same hard drive, you're already using grub (which is linux
[02:27] <[FreeBSD]> s bootloader)
[02:27] <rangergord> Insectorx: regarding your license, see if one of these tools lets you view it: https://www.lifewire.com/free-product-key-finder-programs-2625119
[02:28] <rangergord> I've only used Jelly Bean Keyfinder
[02:30] <Insectorx_>  (I got disconnected for a second from irc)
[02:34] <Insectorx_> Is there a way to just uninstall ubuntu completely?
[02:37] <Insectorx_> Ok nevermind.   Ill return if i need more help when im trying to uninstall this software
[02:58] <Insectorx_> In ubuntu, Can i rename folders to names that make sense?  Ie- all these bin and lib folders are a mess, can i rwname them things like "applications"  and "documents"  ?
[02:59] <Insectorx_> Bin/lib/usr/lib/root/wtf
[03:02] <Insectorx_> Anyway i think that would make things make more sense.
[03:03] <Insectorx_> I dont want to have to remember folder 00101110
[03:04] <Insectorx_> No dice?
[03:06] <TJ-> Insectorx_: Those directories are for the system, not the user. You can rename directories inside your user $HOME directory to whatever you want (e.g. my $HOME is /home/tj/)
[03:06] <capella> Ah, magical folder $2E ... heh, I still use a "src" folder, after learning Unix @ RIT waaaaay back
[03:06] <capella> https://www.tecmint.com/linux-directory-structure-and-important-files-paths-explained/
[03:06] <capella> (even when I dev under Win!)
[03:08] <Insectorx_> Ok perfect.  Im glad i asked.  Because now i can rem
[03:09] <Insectorx_> ...rename /usr/bin to /usr/applications.    Thanks!!
[03:10] <capella>  /usr is not $HOME
[03:10] <Insectorx_> ??
[03:10] <Insectorx_> I stufi
[03:11] <Insectorx_> I studied this file structure stiff for over an hour last night.   And youre telling me i still dont get it?
[03:11] <Insectorx_> Yeah linux is super "easy"
[03:11] <Insectorx_> So what can i change???
[03:13] <Insectorx_> I thought linux was customizable
[03:14] <Insectorx_> I couldnt even install spotify today without asking for help here on irc chat
[03:14] <Insectorx_> Thats not ok
[03:15] <Insectorx_> Linux being harder would be fine if the people here to "help" didnt try to pretend that its super easy and works perfectly.  Its just different right?   No!   Its insanely difficult and the knowledable people will just talk down to you if it doesnt click immediately.
[03:17] <Bashing-om> Insectorx_: http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm <- (Linux is Not Windows) ; https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2380629 .
[03:17] <Insectorx_> I use both windows and mac.  And i know dos and cpm.  I use mac os 9 regularly, and i have a windows 98 machine for gaming.      Because its mot true.   I want to learn!!!   But good info that actually HELPS a new user is scarce
[03:18] <Insectorx_> I know linux is not windows.  Once again i ise many many os's and thwy ALL make sense with mi imal research.   The " youre just used to windows or mac"  analogy doesnt work with me
[03:19] <Bashing-om> Insectorx_: Consider how many Milions of linux users exist .. none were born knowing linux .
[03:19] <p1l0t> So riddle me this. If I login remotely via ssh to a server back in my home country, and then from there login into another server in my same office... but loose my connection becausse the hotel wifi sucks. Are the two office computers still talking to each other or does it close automatically?
[03:19] <Insectorx_> The wiki's on the official ubuntu site suck, becaise they assume youllhave no errors or problems.   Which are numerous and constand with every move?
[03:20] <Insectorx_> Honestly please tell me how you guys learned this at all??   Did you start in the 90's and grow with it?   Or what
[03:20] <cfhowlett> Insectorx_, same way you learned windows.  a little here, a little there.  wash, rinse and repeat
[03:20] <Bashing-om> Insectorx_: This is no longer ubuntu support ; to contine please join #ubuntu-discuss .
[03:21] <fawaz> helep
[03:21] <cfhowlett> fawaz, state the issue
[03:21] <eaglgenes101> Read a lot, keep regular backups, experiment if you want to iterate faster
[03:21] <Insectorx_> If yall ignore me on these questions it just proves that the "community" doesnt actually want new users.  They just want the people who have a good experoence
[03:21] <fawaz> i join
[03:22] <cfhowlett> Insectorx_, please continue this in #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:22] <Insectorx_> Thanks for nothing
[03:23] <eaglgenes101> ...what did you ask for in the first place?
[03:23] <eaglgenes101> I wasn't here when you started ranting
[03:23] <cfhowlett> fawaz, what exactly is the problem?
[03:25] <TJ-> p1l0t: if you're not using a terminal multiplexer like 'screen' or 'tmux' then yes, when the 1st ssh login session drops it'll kill any processes started from that login
[03:28] <fawaz> hello i'am new member how to join for you?
[03:29] <cfhowlett> fawaz, you already joined.
[03:29] <cfhowlett> you're here.  ask your support question
[03:29] <eaglgenes101> If you're asking about how to be a productive member in general, I have a handful of reasonable principles, but that's probably not what you're asking for
[03:30] <eaglgenes101> We don't have telepathy over IP yet, so please, type it out
[03:34] <TJ-> lol @ eaglgenes101 ... but we do! https://telepathy.freedesktop.org/wiki/
[03:36] <kandinski> I'm using the au.archive.ubuntu.com archive with zesty, and a lot of packages are 404 not found.
[03:36] <cfhowlett> kandinski, try a different mirror
[03:36] <kandinski> I don't have the time to upgrade zesty just now. Which other archive works?
[03:37] <eaglgenes101> If all else fails, just use the main repo
[03:37] <krytarik> !zesty

[03:46] <Guest47> Hello
[03:47] <Guest47> I had a silly question and thought this channel could help
[03:47] <cfhowlett> topic is ubuntu support, Guest47.
[03:47] <Guest47> Where do you find the network installers for ubuntu?
[03:47] <Guest47> ie you boot from disk and download the files from the internet
[03:48] <TJ-> !netinst
[03:48] <TJ-> hmmph!
[03:48] <cfhowlett> !minimal
[03:48] <Guest47> Is that just for the Desktop or Server ubuntu? I couldn't see the options
[03:49] <cfhowlett> Guest47, either.  don't want gui?  don't download gui = server
[03:49] <Guest47> Thanks
[03:49] <cfhowlett> happy2help!
[03:50] <Guest47> I am trying to install it on a really old computer with a serial port for context
[03:50] <Guest47> And it looks to only have a cd drive so I cannot fit the normal installers
[03:50] <cfhowlett> so long as it boots, you should be gold
[03:54] <TJ-> Guest47: is the CPU on that PC 32-bit, and if so, does it support PAE? if it doesn't you'll likely need to use a Lubuntu x86 32-bit non-PAE kernel for it to boot
[03:54] <Guest47> I think it is 32-bit
[03:54] <Guest47> Not sure about PAE
[03:55] <TJ-> Guest47: be aware then; it kernel panics almost immediately it'll likely be the reason.
[03:55] <TJ-> !pae | Guest47
[03:55] <Guest47> Intel Pentium 4 m?
[03:55] <Guest47> Thanks
[03:58] <fawaz> hello
[04:00] <Guest47> Any recommendations on making a bootable CD-RW? I have used rufus for USB drives but doesn't appear to work for CDs
[04:00] <Bashing-om> fawaz: Ubuntu support here , as your support question .
[04:00] <cfhowlett> Guest47, startup-disk-creator or you can do it via command line
[04:00] <eaglgenes101> I imagine it's just burning your iso onto the disk
[04:00] <eaglgenes101> er
[04:01] <eaglgenes101> I might be wrong
[04:07] <Drammer> hi
[04:09] <cfhowlett> Drammer, greetings.  ask your support question
[04:28] <Zensei> my god
[04:28] <Zensei> finally updated
[04:28] <Zensei> jesus christ this is fast
[04:34] <`danny_> Copy file to your xchat config directory ?? where do I find this directory?
[04:36] <cfhowlett> `danny_, xchat?  WAY old, out of date, unsupported ... you get the idea.  https://hexchat.github.io/news/announcement.html
[04:36] <cfhowlett> really should not still be in the repos but ...
[04:38] <cfhowlett> if you just insist on using a piece of zombie software, /home/danny/.config/xchat       should be your directory
[04:40] <carl_> anyone on ?
[04:40] <Zensei> ouias
[04:41] <cfhowlett> carl_, of course and always.  skip that and ask your support question???
[04:55] <JPSman> Hi there.
[04:56] <JPSman> So, when I log in through the CTRL-ALT-1 screen, it says I have 24 updates, 10 are security updates.  But when I do sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; it says zero upgrades needed.
[04:56] <JPSman> What gives?
[04:56] <cfhowlett> JPSman, sudo apt dist-upgrade      will get them
[04:56] <JPSman> cfhowlett, will that update my ubuntu to the next rev?  I really don't want to do that
[04:57] <cfhowlett> of course not
[04:57] <Guest47> Hi,
[04:57] <cfhowlett> sudo do-release-upgrade   though ...
[04:57] <Guest47> I have just installed Ubuntu but when I boot it just shows 1 line
[04:57] <michael2> hi, if I want to replace a file which is installed via apt-get/dpkg - whats the best way to do this? specifically without it getting overwritten on updates?
[04:57] <JPSman> cfhowlett, THANK YOU for your quick answer :)  What is dist-upgrade?
[04:58] <Guest47> I can shutdown by pressing the power button but I don't appear to get any other response
[04:58] <cfhowlett> JPSman, as I recall, upgrade gets the current security updates and currently installed apps to upgrade.  dist-upgrade will upgrade to the highest number available in the repos
[05:00] <cfhowlett> JPSman, for future use          apt dist-upgrade -s         will simulate operation without executing.  notice: no sudo
[05:00] <Guest47> it shows "/dev/sda1: clean, num/num files, num/num blocks" where num are large numbers
[05:00] <Guest47> and then a cursor
[05:00] <JPSman> No SUDO?!! Why thats proposterous!  Anyone can just come along and upgrade my system :P
[05:01] <cfhowlett> you didn't read
[05:01] <cfhowlett> enter the command exactly as I wrote         apt dist-upgrade -s
[05:02] <cfhowlett> you'll get something similar    http://termbin.com/lj1a
[05:02] <JPSman> O I C, its simulated...
[05:04] <JPSman> cfhowlett, again, thank you very much :D
[05:04] <cfhowlett> happy2help JPSman
[05:33] <Epru> So, I do a string to update/upgrade my system in terminal ... With "-y" to all. Which brings me to security concerns, If any?
[05:33] <cfhowlett> unlikely but possible
[05:33] <Epru> Such as, Is there a malware scanner or something I could install? In case I do install something that got slipped into the updates?
[05:34] <cfhowlett> Epru, the main repos are pretty safe in that regard. 3rd party and partner repos not quite so much
[05:35] <Epru> I only use the uh repos from the default, but also both the basic cano ones and tbh the real reason being my trying to get my graphics to work... and this unknown,unknown intel micro code thingy in propreitary drivers being...unknown
[05:36] <Epru> So I have it on, thinking it may be from this...weird nvidia intel machine...
[05:36] <Epru> 's processor.
[05:36] <Epru> For its RAM cards are green nvidia made, the proc, the graphics card it has. And I can't get my optimal resoluton for my screen...
[05:37] <Epru> On either drivers. Properitary or open source to the nvidia(graphics in general?)
[05:37] <Epru> Oh, Unknown Display also
[05:37] <Epru> But it has this adpater on its plug... Think thats why
[05:39] <Guest47> Hello, I am trying to connect to a switch via a serial port. I am using mincom but cannot seem to pickup the serial port
[05:40] <Epru> I tried the extended resolution resources package from the basic... um, run into by trying to update enough times on propriatary but doesn't give me high enough res for optimal, and the prahics are jacked up.. Ugh. I tried.
[05:40] <V7> Oh dear
[05:40] <V7> This roundcube
[05:40] <V7> telnet localhost 993 connects, but when trying to communicate through roundcube it says: ssl://localhost:993:Connection timed out
[05:40] <Epru> Who?
[05:41] <Epru> ...How you do you all learn linux so well... or so much of it and remember what you read of it?...
[05:42] <Guest47> I have used "dmesg | grep tty" but do not see any results
[05:42] <Epru> I think i'm over-thinking it, and missing something. ...
[05:42] <Epru> Like tried reading --help files but, It doesn't seem like the start at all but rather the end of the help book...
[05:43] <pil_> hello, where can i find ubuntu 16.04 for 32 bit?
[05:43] <pil_> i386
[05:43] <V7> pil_, on officials
[05:44] <Epru> There's no, bot ! command for download latest page link?
[05:44] <Epru> I'm lazy... So I'd have one...
[05:44] <Epru> Sorry. Nervous humor.
[05:45] <Epru> I usually lose a computer coming here for help. Doubt its anything to do with the server itself, really. Just saying...
[05:46] <Epru> xrandr says can't open display :0
[05:46] <Epru> Nvm, now is...
[05:48] <Epru> Okay so please. Can someone give me the line for setting my think its called DVI-I-1 output resolution to 1680x1050?...
[05:49] <Epru> Or can I not just manually enter the numbers without it having a 'profile' for what they mean yet....
[05:50] <Epru> I just want my 1080p HD no frame skip, graphics on youtube back. Lol Like on 16.04... But I uh, deleted something I thought was spyware... it destroyed the os faster than anything I've ever seen...
[05:52] <Epru> So I made a note to self: Do Not Remove iproute2
[05:52] <Epru> Still sounds fishy though
[05:54] <Epru> OH I'm on 17.10 ... Trying to get nvidia graphics force 3700(?) card to work and the os to recognize the monitor as more than unknown, and change resolution to 1680x1050 as optimal for my monitor.
[05:55] <Epru> Or is it impossible while its using this VGA chord that has an Adapter to DVI on the end of it to the computer?...
[05:56] <Epru> Do I simply need a DVI chord for the monitor? The computer has the slot... Obviously. I'm unsure why it has the adapter...
[05:58] <Epru> xrandr is working and picking it up, so cant I download a 1680x1050 resolution package for ubuntu 17.10 or something and use it to set it to it? :/
[05:58]  * Epru waits for answers, a.k.a shuts up
[05:59] <Insectorx> Let me preface by saying that i actually want answers about linux
[06:00] <Epru> Nice one... Like mine isn't~ My graphics worked fine on last version~
[06:00] <Insectorx> Why is it that linux gives me numerous problems, but wi diws
[06:00] <Insectorx> B
[06:00] <Epru> Oh you meant literally, sorry... -_-'
[06:01] <Insectorx_> I want to like linux but why is it so weird and diffivult to use
[06:01] <Zensei> because it's always a beta
[06:02] <Zensei> its not a set it and forget it
[06:02] <Epru> Because it's more machine than window glass stains...?
[06:02] <Zensei> it is the equivalents of a "mechanics" car
[06:02] <Insectorx_> People say that its easy.  But i bet that spanish is easy to someone who has been speaking it their whole lives
[06:02] <Epru> Oh boy
[06:02]  * Epru leaves this one...
[06:02] <Insectorx_> Because linux so far is a mind F
[06:02] <Zensei> Do you want to learn?
[06:03] <Insectorx_> Iyes i do want to learn
[06:03] <Epru> I do.
[06:03] <cfhowlett> Insectorx_, you were here ranting earlier.  want to learn?  read.  try things. break things.  fix them.
[06:03] <Epru> Teach me. Please. Haha...
[06:03] <Insectorx_> I vollect older computwr systems, and i have no problem learning dos or cpm.  But linux has been
[06:03] <Epru> I did all that^ and more, still only halfway done
[06:04] <Insectorx_>  ...has been bery difficult to say the least
[06:04] <Insectorx_> *very
[06:04] <Epru> Oh btw, xrandr says screen 0 is uh, a xwayland0 thingy.. last guy that tried helping said he was afraid that was what my problem was, guess it is? But he said no need telling me what a wayland session is...At the time. Anyone, please?
[06:05] <Insectorx_> I feel like ive been ignored by experienced linux users because my questions are maybe too rudimentary
[06:05] <Epru> Hmm
[06:05] <Insectorx_> But tbh i dont get how this os works
[06:05] <Insectorx_> I want to learn.   Gi
[06:05] <Insectorx_> please give me a learning resource
[06:06] <cfhowlett> http://www.cheat-sheets.org/saved-copy/ubunturef.pdf
[06:06] <Insectorx_> Official ubuntu tutorials suck.  Because theres always some error that it doesnt cover
[06:06] <Epru> I see their point...
[06:06] <cfhowlett> also: likely your local library has a copy of ubuntu for dummies.
[06:06] <Epru> Seriously?
[06:06] <moussa> how-to <-- is a good start
[06:06] <HateNetPlan> Can I get some help configuring netplan? I can't seem to get the routes to work the same way they did when just using /etc/network/interfaces.
[06:06] <Epru> For real? how-to is a command?
[06:07] <moussa> no is a *nix help resources
[06:07] <Insectorx> Im bacm
[06:07] <Epru> so do I need to download something or what do I open to read?...
[06:07] <Insectorx> * back
[06:08] <nacc> Insectorx: you are not in a Linux general channel, if you want to ask questions generally about Linux, you may want #linux
[06:08] <nacc> Insectorx: this channel is for Ubuntu support
[06:09] <nacc> !manual | Insectorx: for ubuntu, this might be a good start
[06:09] <nacc> Insectorx: if you would like to ask specific questions, maybe we can helpl
[06:10] <Insectorx> I want to ask specific questions.  But what do you do if the whole installation is messed up and running slow and giving errors
[06:10] <Epru> moussa ?
[06:10] <nacc> Insectorx: what version of ubuntu?
[06:10] <nacc> Insectorx: 'messed up?'
[06:10] <Insectorx> Windows 7 was running way way smoother
[06:10] <nacc> Insectorx: how are you determining 'slow'?
[06:10] <nacc> Insectorx: pastebin the errors.
[06:10] <moussa> epru ??
[06:10] <Epru> LOL
[06:10] <nacc> Insectorx: it is an older computer?
[06:10] <Insectorx> I tried ubuntu based off of experiences that seemed like it was better and faster
[06:11] <Insectorx> But so far its running way way slower than windows 7
[06:11] <Epru> Oh um, I asked how do I open the how-to stuff to read or if I need to download *nix or somethin?
[06:11] <Insectorx> This is my 3rd time on This irc chat.
[06:11] <cfhowlett> almost word for word as your last conversation here.  I suspect bot or troll.  Insectorx please comment
[06:11] <moussa> just use google to search for a how-to
[06:11] <moussa> try how-to unix for dummies
[06:11] <HateNetPlan> If someone can help me with Ubuntu 17.10 network config with netplan, I have my old config that I don't know how to convert to the new system, and I can't access the internet with it. Here is the picture of the interface config before: https://puu.sh/z9RAL.png
[06:12] <HateNetPlan> With a typo
[06:12] <HateNetPlan> woops
[06:12] <Epru> Sigh... Thanks for your initial help moussa...
[06:12] <Insectorx> Honestly if i cant figure out how to use this as a BASIC system then im just going to boot back into windows 7 regularly
[06:12] <nacc> Insectorx: you hven't provided any details yet
[06:12] <nacc> Insectorx: so it's very difficult to provide any assistance
[06:12] <moussa> epru good luck
[06:12] <Insectorx> What are the details you need
[06:13] <Insectorx> ?
[06:13] <nacc> Insectorx: I just asked you several questions and requested a pastebin
[06:13] <Insectorx> Im sorry im new to irc and dont know anything about it
[06:13] <Epru> moussa Meh, I end up losing every comp to a hacker anyway so luck isn't going to help much. I've a graveyard... Sad par tis, Don't even go any where to warrant it and haven't in almost a decade~
[06:13] <nacc> Insectorx: it's just a chat medium; do you need me to ask the questions again?
[06:14] <Insectorx> Im not a bot or troll
[06:14] <Insectorx> I just dont feel like anyone take me seriously
[06:14] <Epru> You just said you'd been to other places though
[06:14] <Epru> Not recently.
[06:14] <HateNetPlan> lol
[06:14] <Insectorx> I feel like when i have a problemit just gets written off as a troll
[06:15] <Epru> Cause it seems it
[06:15] <Insectorx> Is it so hard to believe that im having trouble???
[06:15] <Epru> And lacks foundation or any bricks to toss at us when we ask for details...?
[06:15] <HateNetPlan> He is trying to ask you questions and you aren't answering them
[06:15] <Insectorx> I dont mean to be a pain.   Im not used to irc
[06:15] <Epru> o_o
[06:16] <HateNetPlan> It's just text chat dude
[06:16] <Epru> Am I the only one noticing the patterns?
[06:16] <Insectorx> Which if ubuntu waned to actually help people they wouldnt use irc
[06:16] <Epru> ^
[06:16] <nacc> Insectorx: there are forums
[06:16] <nacc> Insectorx: if you would rather do that
[06:16] <nacc> Insectorx: but honestly, you've not told us anything; this isn't about being new or not
[06:16] <nacc> Insectorx: in general, you have to provide details for anyone to be able to help you
[06:16] <Epru> He's said it has three times though, I should take his word~
[06:16] <nacc> Insectorx: let's start with the errors, what errors are you getting?
[06:17] <nacc> HateNetPlan: you might ask in #ubuntu-server, but the folks i know who could help are offline right now
[06:17] <Insectorx> Foruns assume that you'll have zero problems.  Which with linix has never been true, from my experience.   The only answer is chat
[06:17] <Epru> Tabs~
[06:17] <Insectorx> I tried to install spotify and it failed
[06:17] <nacc> Insectorx: the forums take patience
[06:18] <HateNetPlan> nacc: Thanks. I'll hop over and ask. Spent way more time then I care to admit trying to get it to work
[06:18] <nacc> Insectorx: how did you try to install spotify?
[06:18] <HateNetPlan> ^
[06:18] <Insectorx> I tried to install ubuntu mate 17.10 thru unetbootin and it failed
[06:18] <Insectorx> Pr
[06:18] <Epru> HateNetPlan ?
[06:18] <nacc> Insectorx: one thing at a time.
[06:18] <Insectorx> Pive tried using linux before and MOST things fail
[06:18] <nacc> Insectorx: you are on ubuntu now?
[06:18] <causative> what is the bar at the top of the screen in 17.10 called, and how do I configure what items appear on it?
[06:18] <Epru> Got a moment if you know how to change resolutions or find packages for higher ones, specifically 1680x1050 ?...
[06:18] <Insectorx> Ubuntu mate 17.10
[06:18] <nacc> Epru: xrandr?
[06:19] <nacc> Insectorx: so are you on mate 17.10 now or not?
[06:19] <Epru> it's like um, xrandr --mode <OUTPUT> um
[06:19] <Epru> I forgot the rest...
[06:19] <Insectorx> I want simple things from my computer.  Like gimp and chrome etc
[06:19] <Epru> And unsure which output it really wants, as it seems to be a 'wayland' session?
[06:20] <Insectorx> Well my computer at work has the os installed.  Im talking thru the web on android atm
[06:20] <Mr_Cyclops> Hello. Need suggestions on a motion sensor based audio/video surveillance software for Ubuntu, I want to use my USB webcams for this, thank you
[06:20] <nacc> Epru: ah if you're on wayland ... it might be different
[06:20] <Mr_Cyclops> motion does video, but no audio option I guess
[06:20] <nacc> Epru: the output should be named in the xrandr output
[06:20] <nacc> Epru: sorry, that was a bit ciruclar
[06:20] <Epru> nacc it says on xrandr ... *Looks*...
[06:21] <nacc> Insectorx: ... gimp is not simple, but easy to install
[06:21] <Mr_Cyclops> and zoneminder is too complex to configure and maintain for me ... hopefully someone can suggest an alternative? thanks in advance ...
[06:21] <nacc> Insectorx: again, you're not stopping and answering my questions.
[06:21] <nacc> Insectorx: if you want help, I need more info
[06:21] <lotuspsychje> !info zoneminder | Mr_Cyclops
[06:21] <Insectorx> I apologize
[06:21] <Epru> Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 768, maximum 8192 x 8192 | XWAYLAND0 connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm
[06:21] <Insectorx> What is the question exactly
[06:21] <nacc> Insectorx: so you have mate 17.10 on your work machine, and you tried to install spotify. how?
[06:22] <Insectorx> Well it failed thrpugh the main application installer of mate
[06:22] <nacc> Insectorx: i've never used mate, so I'm not sure what that is
[06:22] <Mr_Cyclops> lotuspsychje, thanks I did try to configure it once, but that's like too much work ..... unless you've used it and you can tell me I was doing something wrong? :)
[06:22] <nacc> Insectorx: spotify is only availabe as a snap or via a PPA
[06:23] <nacc> Insectorx: i would suggest trying the snap
[06:23] <nacc> Insectorx: from a terminal `sudo snap install spotify`
[06:23] <Epru> To be my optimal and have correct refresh rate of 60hz, It needs to be 1680x1050 on this monitor... But, I can't make anymore sen out of it than I have already~
[06:23] <Mr_Cyclops> !info snap
[06:23] <Insectorx> Then someone told me to try to install it trough the cli an dit then worked.  But am i going to have to ask for help here for everything that i try to install???
[06:23] <lotuspsychje> Mr_Cyclops: there are some good tutorials online for zoneminder, think its your best bet its a professional piece of software
[06:23] <Epru> *sense
[06:24] <Mr_Cyclops> lotuspsychje, I see, hmm, looks like I will need to give it another try after all :-) Thanks for your feedback/help
[06:24] <nacc> Mr_Cyclops: not a package itself, it's an alternative way to install applications
[06:24] <Insectorx> They say ubuntu is the easiest version.   But then why is it so hard to learn or understand whats goimg on???
[06:24] <nacc> Insectorx: what have you tried to learn so far?
[06:24] <Epru> The chord has an adapter... VGA cable, DVI adapter to cpu...
[06:24] <lotuspsychje> Mr_Cyclops: visit also #zoneminder
[06:24] <Mr_Cyclops> nacc, looks like your message was for someone else?
[06:24] <Mr_Cyclops> sweet! tx again lo
[06:24] <Mr_Cyclops> lotuspsychje,
[06:24] <nacc> Mr_Cyclops: i meant in references to your ubottu query
[06:24] <nacc> *reference
[06:24] <Insectorx> Ie-  you install a program thru apt-get then it installs to some mystery location and you cant even find it
[06:24] <nacc> Epru: can you pastebin te xrandr output?
[06:25] <nacc> Insectorx: most 'programs' are in /usr/bin
[06:25] <Epru> nacc if you gimme the line to run... Sorry... Noob...
[06:25] <nacc> Epru: i meant the whole output
[06:25] <Epru> I meant how to use pastebin heh
[06:25] <nacc> !paste | Epru
[06:25] <Insectorx> I want to learn linix.  But why does it make zero sense???
[06:26] <nacc> Insectorx: ok, you are spinning a bit, it feels like, and I'm not sure how to help you.
[06:26] <Insectorx> Please give me a link thay explains how to use linux
[06:26] <nacc> Insectorx: have you read the manual?
[06:26] <lotuspsychje> Insectorx: if you want ubuntu help, its best you try to listen to volunteers, not trolling around
[06:26] <nacc> Insectorx: which I sent to you as a link earlier
[06:26] <Epru> okay so what do you want me to run in xrandr to pastebin here?
[06:26] <nacc> Epru: just `xrandr`
[06:26] <Epru> I already said all that says
[06:26] <Insectorx> Fyi.   Telling me to use the ubuntu wiki is like telling me to use the mac os 9 help search.   Isels
[06:26] <nacc> Epru: e.g., `xrandr | pastebinit`
[06:26] <Insectorx> Useless
[06:26] <nacc> Insectorx: i did not say the wiki.
[06:27] <nacc> !manual | Insectorx
[06:27] <nacc> Insectorx: if you refuse to read what is written, I'm sorry, I can't help
[06:27] <Insectorx> Im willing to read, but only if its useful
[06:27] <Epru> *Shrugs* Well if its give data not the same text pop up on term I got, I'll do it, but I said the only two things it says lol
[06:27] <nacc> Epru: it only emits one line?
[06:27] <Epru> Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 768, maximum 8192 x 8192| XWAYLAND0 connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm
[06:27] <Epru> ^
[06:27] <nacc> Insectorx: so you are preemptively deciding what is useful?
[06:28] <Insectorx> I will check out said manual.   Thank you
[06:28] <nacc> Epru: there should be a line right after that with modelines
[06:28] <Epru> It's also Unknown in the settings > displays ...
[06:28] <nacc> Epru: h
[06:28] <nacc> *ah
[06:28] <lotuspsychje> Insectorx: discussions fit in #ubuntu-discuss, try to focus on your actual issue in #ubuntu
[06:29] <nacc> Epru: i need to step away, i have not had any 'unknown' displays with wayland
[06:29] <Insectorx> Linux so far seems like it takes 20 steps to do something that takes 2 steps in windows.   Am i wrong here?   Id really like to know?
[06:29] <nacc> i'm assuming that is the issue
[06:29] <nacc> Insectorx: you are wrong.
[06:29] <Epru> Wahhh
[06:29] <Epru> Why do I always get the weird ghost issues~
[06:29] <nacc> Epru: is your hardware properly detected?
[06:30] <Epru> I still say its the cable... it can use a real dvi one, idk why its using a vga with adapter... stupid
[06:30] <nacc> Epru: does it work ok under X?
[06:30] <lotuspsychje> Insectorx: type /join #ubuntu-discuss
[06:30] <Epru> Hm idk test method?
[06:30] <nacc> Epru: could easily be the cable, if it's not training properly
[06:30] <nacc> Epru: should be able to logout, and change the session to with Xorg
[06:30] <Epru> Oh like puppy?
[06:31] <Epru> OH
[06:31] <Epru> Sorry just understood
[06:31] <Epru> I'll go see
[06:31] <Insectorx> Ok i guess ill go ask someone else.  I was just looking for spmeone to give me at least one reason to continue my linux adventure, but i guess no dice
[06:31] <nacc> Epru: :)
[06:31] <nacc> Insectorx: it's a free choice you can make
[06:31] <nacc> Insectorx: our role is not to convince you to use Linux or not
[06:31] <lotuspsychje> Insectorx: this is not linux help, but ubuntu support
[06:32] <lotuspsychje> Insectorx: its your own choise, to argue instead of trying what volunteers suggested
[06:32] <ferretsatsuma> Insectorx: What’s up?
[06:33] <Insectorx> Windows and mac suck.  Id love to learn linux as a replacement, bit the community is too hogh and mighty to actually face the fact that their OS is F'd to use
[06:33] <lotuspsychje> Insectorx: ok stop it now
[06:33] <ferretsatsuma> Insectorx: Agreed.
[06:33] <nacc> Insectorx: ok, you refuse to actually provide any actual issues
[06:33] <lotuspsychje> ferretsatsuma: please dont feed discussions here
[06:33] <ferretsatsuma> lotuspsychje: Fair enough (although he/she is right).
[06:33] <nacc> Insectorx: that has little to do with us, and I was actually interested in trying to help.
[06:36] <Shadow}}> nacc | That's a big no.
[06:36] <Shadow}}> It froze immediately on purple screen before the cursor even changed from typer icon to pointer~
[06:36] <Insectorx> Litterally every linux step i make comes back woth some sort of problem.  How is this superior?  I only get back answers that are pro linux rather than answers that solve anything.    I want linix to work for me, but this supposed "community" seems mostly about satisfying linux users that are already in the know.
[06:36] <nacc> Insectorx: no one said it was superior.
[06:36] <nacc> Insectorx: please stick to support issues and take rants elsewhere.
[06:37] <Insectorx> Is it too late for me??   Have a already alienated myself from the linux community??
[06:37] <lotuspsychje> !ops | Insectorx doesnt understand offtopic
[06:37] <Insectorx> Just by adking questions
[06:37] <Epru> nacc : So what's the deal here? It think it's some sort of remote monitor?
[06:37] <Insectorx> Rational questions
[06:37] <ferretsatsuma> Insectorx: Take a breath :)
[06:37] <Insectorx> Ok. Sorry
[06:37] <Epru> nacc : but hard-wired in... likely cause the cable?
[06:37] <nacc> Epru: sorry, I do't know
[06:37] <Insectorx> I want to use linux
[06:37] <ferretsatsuma> Insectorx: Here’s the thing.
[06:37] <lotuspsychje> ferretsatsuma: #ubuntu-discuss
[06:38] <Insectorx> But i feel that everu question i have is met with distain
[06:38] <lotuspsychje> not here please
[06:38] <Insectorx> Imsorryfor
[06:38] <Epru> nacc : Kay, I'll replace the cable and find out if that fixes it, Prlly will. Thank you for everything but one last thing?
[06:38] <ferretsatsuma> Insectorx: We’ve been directed to take this discussion to #ubuntu-discuss
[06:38] <Epru> nacc : whats the difference between using Ubuntu with Xorg and not?
[06:38] <lotuspsychje> Epru: if you want your issue solved, try to re-ask with alld etails,ubuntu version, steps tryed so tohers can read
[06:38] <nacc> Epru: two very different graphics servers
[06:39] <Insectorx> Im sorryfor poppin off about whats the real problem.  But i Just want to know what to do
[06:39] <ferretsatsuma> Insectorx: We’ve been directed to take this discussion to #ubuntu-discuss (not to continue here).
[06:39] <Insectorx> Last time i went to ubuntu-discuss there was noone there
[06:39] <ferretsatsuma> Insectorx: I’m there.
[06:39] <Insectorx> Plus i feel r
[06:39] <Epru> Naw. Idt they can to be honest. I'ma replace the cable that has the adapter for a real dvi cable and try to fix it myself before coming back over the graphics resolution issue.
[06:39] <nacc> Epru: ok
[06:40] <nacc> Epru: i would try the Xorg session
[06:40] <Epru> graphic servers?...
[06:40] <nacc> Epru: it is the easier test
[06:40] <Epru> I did
[06:40] <nacc> Epru: Xorg vs. Wayland
[06:40] <Insectorx> Ok i apologize.     Im sorry
[06:40] <Epru> It failed. Wait. My driver may be set as the wrong one
[06:40] <ferretsatsuma> Insectorx: You aren’t, but let’s discuss this in #ubuntu-discuss
[06:42] <Epru> nacc : I'm using the x.org open source video-nouveau driver, not the proprietary,tested one
[06:42] <Epru> Switch and try x org session again? after a reboot?
[06:42] <Epru> and update...?
[06:43] <lotuspsychje> Epru: what did i just suggested you?
[06:44] <Epru> lotuspsychje I know but it's not something I can explain well. And there's no xrandr pastebin it really... And everyone acts like they cant help an unknown display wayland session so
[06:44] <Epru> Idk how to phrase my problem.
[06:44] <lotuspsychje> !details | Epru
[06:44] <Epru> Oh ffs. Nvm
[06:44] <lotuspsychje> Epru: hi, i have a problem with..ubuntu version,kernel,steps tried..
[06:58] <hotbakedpotato[m> I got a package fail on the recent kernel you guys sent out
[06:59] <lotuspsychje> hotbakedpotato[m: do you have more details?
[07:00] <hotbakedpotato[m> not really now i may try to reinstall and see if i get the same error
[07:01] <lotuspsychje> hotbakedpotato[m: you dont know wich package? wich ubuntu version and wich kernel you have?
[07:02] <hotbakedpotato[m> the latest kernel release and on 16.04
[07:02] <hotbakedpotato[m> not sure why another kernel is out..i thought there was just one released
[07:02] <hotbakedpotato[m> now it says restart it maybe fixed now
[07:04] <lotuspsychje> hotbakedpotato[m: hastebin us: lsb_release -a && uname -a
[07:23] <josh> ayy wats up fam
[07:29] <skraito> hi all
[07:39] <ferretsatsuma> On Ubuntu Core, why would ldconfig.real -i generate a segmentation fault? Does this indicate a bug in libc, or…?
[07:42] <adithya_> If i am using linux mint can i ask doubts in this channel?
[07:42] <Ben64> no
[07:43] <Ben64> mint has their own channel
[07:43] <vlt> adithya_: You can, as long you're asking about Ubuntu (while using Mint).
[07:44] <drozdziak1_works> Hi there, I've got a Ubuntu 16.04 box with an Intel Sky Lake GPU, governed by the i915 driver. Yesterday I installed the OpenCL ICD loader (the beignet-opencl-icd package), and today xrandr won't rotate one of my screens saying "Configure crtc 0 failed"
[07:45] <drozdziak1_works> output from "xrandr --output DP1 --rotate left --verbose": https://pastebin.com/YhQMYstu
[07:45] <drozdziak1_works> In dmesg I've also get "[ 2908.637018] [drm] Reducing the compressed framebuffer size. This may lead to less power savings than a non-reduced-size. Try to increase stolen memory size if available in BIOS."
[07:46] <adithya_> does linux-mint use ubuntu?
[07:46] <ducasse> adithya_: mint is based on ubuntu, but has made changes
[07:53] <adithya_> so which ubuntu version does it use?
[07:57] <ducasse> ask them.
[07:57] <ducasse> !mint | adithya_
[07:58] <hmwel> Hi, I'm using a script to remotly shutdown a ubuntu server ad as specified time but the shutdown command is not retuning
[08:31] <girp> hi
[08:35] <sud0x3> hmwel: do you just have the command shutdown in your script, the shutdown command takes a parameter
[08:55] <Mouzz> On 16.04 apt-upgrade results in failure because of "No space left on device" message. df -h shows the root partition (btrfs) is only 78% used. "apt autoclean" also gives the same error
[08:55] <EriC^> Mouzz: try 'df -i'
[08:55] <Mouzz> btrfs has no inodes
[08:55] <EriC^> are you able to create files?
[08:55] <EriC^> without apt
[08:56] <Mouzz> yes I can create files in the /
[08:57] <EriC^> try "sudo apt-get autoclean"
[08:58] <Mouzz> EriC^: I've also tried "umount overflow" or "umount /tmp" but those dont exist  on my system
[08:58] <Mouzz> EriC^: I've tried autoclean, but that throws the same error: "Problem renaming the file /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin.kslwzL to /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin - rename (28: No space left on device)"
[08:59] <EriC^> try with apt-get instead of apt
[08:59] <EriC^> just incase
[08:59] <Mouzz> EriC^: I did, same result
[08:59] <ezra-s> Mouzz: but how many filesystems do you have? maybe it's not / but /var
[09:00] <EriC^> ^ can you pastebin the output of 'df -h' in paste.ubuntu.com?
[09:01] <Mouzz> mount -> https://pastebin.com/yifeLqw0    df -h -> https://pastebin.com/5mV1vjLh
[09:05] <ezra-s> Mouzz: have you tried "fstrim /"?
[09:06] <ezra-s> seeing as the partitions refered as ssd, it is worth checking if there some kind of issue with the ssd disk
[09:06] <Mouzz> ezra-s: Just tried it. Same result for apt-get autoclean...
[09:07] <Mouzz> ezra-s: smartctl -a /dec/sda returned health status as PASSED
[09:09] <Mouzz> I think it's btrfs related somehow...
[09:11] <Mouzz> "btrfs fi show" shows me that all space available is somehow used. Still investigating :)
[09:23] <rwx777> hey i want to mount a cd but get error : mount: /dev/sr0: can't read superblock . What is the problem ?
[09:24] <RedCat27> I'm using Lubuntu 17.10. I have software updater set to check for updates daily & to only notify rather than automatically install. It still seems to be install regardless and asks me to reboot. Also, how can I see what was actually updated? /var/log/apt only shows things I explicitly installed. Could this prompt to reboot be triggered by something I installed?
[09:24] <RedCat27> Er, it still installs automatically even though I have it unchecked
[09:27] <RedCat27> I had this issue in MATE 16.04 as well, very quirky software updater.
[09:31] <EriC^^> rwx777: how are you mounting it?
[09:34] <EriC^^> RedCat27: pastebin the output of 'cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/{*periodic,*upgrades}'
[09:38] <RedCat27> EriC^^: http://termbin.com/ql00
[09:40] <EriC^^> RedCat27: what about 'cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades' ?
[09:41] <RedCat27> EriC^^: doesn't exist
[09:41] <EriC^^> oh

[09:44] <mdlpe> Hi, i have some trouble to launch Ubuntu in dual boot with win 10. I need to choose linux on Windows boot loader and after I can access to grub. An idea ?
[09:45] <EriC^^> RedCat27: try 'cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/60gnome-software'
[09:45] <EriC^^> mdlpe: pastebin the results of 'sudo parted -ls'
[09:45] <Deknos> hey, whats the difference between insights.ubuntu.com and planet.ubuntu.com?
[09:47] <mdlpe> EriC^^: http://paste.debian.net/1007312/
[09:47] <RedCat27> EriC^^: ## This file is provided by GNOME Software to enable the download of ## small-size 64x64px icons for use in the software catalog. ## ## The icons are required for GNOME Software to function correctly. ## Applications without an icon will not be displayed at all.

[09:47] <RedCat27> that's all it contains
[09:52] <EriC^^> mdlpe: type 'sudo efibootmgr -v' and pastebin
[09:54] <mdlpe> EriC^^: http://paste.debian.net/1007313/
[09:56] <mdlpe> If I do not choose linux by selecting boot option (F12) at startup, I will boot directly to Windows without passing through GRUB
[09:57] <EriC^^> mdlpe: try 'grub-install'
[09:57] <EriC^^> *sudo grub-install
[09:58] <EriC^^> if it doesn't work then you can try disabling the windows entry
[09:59] <mdlpe> Ok, i'll do that reboot and come back soon
[09:59] <EriC^^> k
[10:00] <mdlpe> grub install won't work : http://paste.debian.net/1007314/

[10:05] <tomreyn> i'm one of the unfortunate souls who settled for a ryzon cpu and need to roll their own kernel to gain some stability (at the loss of security and power saving features). so i'd like to fully automate building a custom kernel based on a mainline git checkout. how would you do this?
[10:06] <tomreyn> (basically i'd like to automate this: http://blog.programster.org/ubuntu-16-04-compile-custom-kernel-for-ryzen)
[10:06] <mdlpe> EriC^^: # /boot/efi was on /dev/sda1 during installation

[10:07] <EriC^^> mdlpe: ok ubuntu is using /dev/sda1 as the efi partition, i'd rather it used /dev/sdb1 so it's a stand alone install
[10:07] <EriC^^> are you ok with changing it?
[10:08] <mdlpe> EriC^^: I'm lost
[10:09] <mdlpe> If I did misunderstood, Ubuntu use the efi partition of windows and do not need its own efi partition.
[10:09] <mdlpe> --didn't
[10:09] <EriC^^> mdlpe: the bootloaders go in the efi partition, efibootmgr has a list of which ones to boot in order, in disk sda there's an efi partition for windows, in disk sdb there's one for ubuntu, but ubuntu is using the sda efi partition right now, so if you ever put that disk on another pc it can't boot cause it's depending on sda
[10:10] <tomreyn> where "that disk" = sdb
[10:10] <EriC^^> it can use it, but you already have an efi partition in sdb, might as well let ubuntu use it and the install becomes independent, you see what i mean
[10:11] <mdlpe> Yes, but how to do it
[10:12] <mdlpe> I have no enough room to install ubuntu on sda
[10:12] <EriC^^> mdlpe: sudo sed -i 's/UUID=126B-B2FF/UUID=410C-A72B/' /etc/fstab
[10:12] <mdlpe> EriC^^: done
[10:12] <EriC^^> mdlpe: then type 'sudo umount /dev/sda1'
[10:13] <mdlpe> EriC^^: done
[10:13] <EriC^^> mdlpe: try 'sudo mount /boot/efi'
[10:13] <mdlpe> EriC^^: done
[10:14] <EriC^^> mdlpe: try 'LANG=C sudo grub-install'

[10:16] <qp> how to turn off wol in bios ?
[10:16] <mdlpe> EriC^^: http://paste.debian.net/1007317/
[10:16] <pr3s4r10_> i wanna make a bootable ubuntu usb drive from my hdd but it gets more than 25 gig. i don't want my files. i just want the ubuntu system
[10:17] <EriC^^> mdlpe: ok, try rebooting and see if it works
[10:17] <mdlpe> EriC^^: ok I try it and come back
[10:17] <tomreyn> qp: this is bios (vendor) specific and not really an ubuntu question. try to search the web, and if that fails, try ##hardware.
[10:18] <qp> its ubuntu issue , i get around a % battery drain (switched off) after installing ubuntu
[10:23] <tomreyn> s10gopal: again, disabling WOL is a matter of reconfiguring your bios / uefi / mainboard firmware, has nothing to do with the OS.
[10:24] <mdlpe> EriC^^: It's the same, if I do not interrup the boot by F12 i directly boot on windows
[10:24] <s10gopal> tomreyn: i get blank screen for around 30 second after ubuntu logo
[10:24] <EriC^^> mdlpe: ok, the bios must switch it back to windows first by default
[10:25] <tomreyn> s10gopal: are you trying to diagnose this potential issue (which is unrelated to WOL)?
[10:25] <EriC^^> mdlpe: do you have any uefi list in the bios setup?
[10:25] <angelfire009> where did my message go that i just typed?
[10:25] <angelfire009> when i login, i get a message that:- sorry, ubuntu 16.04 has experienced an internal error. package: systemd 229-4ubuntu21
[10:25] <s10gopal> tomreyn: yes + i want to fix battery drain too
[10:25] <tomreyn> angelfire009: not here, that's all we know
[10:26] <angelfire009> got it using the up arrow. has used /help at the beginning. dont know where it leads to.
[10:26] <mdlpe> EriC^^: I need to verify. To boot on linux, i trusted Ubuntu in the bios. But I need to check. What do you want i check on my bios ?
[10:26] <zeta> I run ZFS on Linux where I had to use an unstable grub from debian to make it work. Now when Ubuntu has a new grub version I want to use that. So I purged grub, but it was unsuccessful because of unmet dependencies. And now it won't let me re-install grub (and all grub stuff has already been deleted)
[10:26] <EriC^^> mdlpe: check if there is any uefi boot order you can change
[10:27] <mdlpe> ok, i come back
[10:27] <s10gopal> black screen for around 30 second after ubuntu logo + battery drain when laptop is off plz help
[10:28] <tomreyn> s10gopal: take a look at the /var/log/messages log file and the output of the "dmesg -T" command. those should hint on what, if anything, went wrong during boot. you can use the 'pastebinit' command to share those with us (if you'd like someone else to review them).
[10:28] <tomreyn> !pastebinit | s10gopal
[10:29] <s10gopal> tomreyn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/26463379/
[10:33] <s10gopal> tomreyn: plz see line  1117
[10:33] <angelfire009> when i login, i get a message that:- sorry, ubuntu 16.04 has experienced an internal error. package: systemd 229-4ubuntu21
[10:34] <tomreyn> s10gopal: i just lost some lines posted to this channel, can xyou repeat?
[10:35] <s10gopal> tomreyn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/26463379/
[10:35] <s10gopal> tomreyn: plz see line  1117
[10:35] <s10gopal> black screen for around 30 second after ubuntu logo + battery drain when laptop is off plz help
[10:36] <tomreyn> s10gopal: you have kernel oopses triggered by the wireless module
[10:37] <s10gopal> tomreyn: how to fix it ? it is also causing battery drain when laptop is shutdown?
[10:37] <mdlpe> EriC^^: done ! I placed efi ubuntu on the first choice to boot and all is fine now
[10:37] <EriC^^> mdlpe: great!
[10:37] <mdlpe> EriC^^: Thanks a lot !

[10:40] <tomreyn> s10gopal: i'm not sure how to fix it. maybe a firmware update is needed, or running a non taintend kernel.
[10:42] <s10gopal> tomreyn: it prevent laptop to shut down properly ?
[10:43] <EriC^^> mdlpe: also run 'sudo update-grub'
[10:43] <s10gopal> EriC^^: plz help
[10:43] <tomreyn> s10gopal: it might. am i right in that you are using a non ubuntu wireless driver?
[10:44] <s10gopal> tomreyn: idk
[10:44] <tomreyn> "wl: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel. wl: module license 'MIXED/Proprietary' taints kernel. wl: module verification failed: signature and/or required key missing - tainting kernel"
[10:44] <s10gopal> tomreyn: i didnt installed anything
[10:44] <tomreyn> ok, maybe those are normal with secure boot enabled
[10:45] <s10gopal> tomreyn: i disabled it
[10:46] <s10gopal> tomreyn: [Fri Jan 26 14:07:17 2018] Secure boot disabled
[10:49] <tomreyn> s10gopal: okay, looks like i misinterpreted your logs then. can you run (and post the output of): lspci -vvnn | grep -A 9 Network
[10:49] <Alex___> Hey Guys! Am I right here if I need some help with my freshly installed linux?
[10:49] <tomreyn> Alex___: if this linux is a a supported ubuntu distribution, yes
[10:50] <s10gopal> tomreyn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/26463442/
[10:50] <Alex___> tomreyn: Xubuntu :)
[10:50] <tomreyn> Alex___: "lsb_release -sd" will list the version number (which also matters)
[10:51] <Alex___> That would be 16.04.3 LTS
[10:53] <Alex___> tomreyn: My problem is, Im trying to mount a cifs share from my NAS via /etc/fstab to a folder on my machine. Got it all up and running, but i cant get rw acces. Whatever I try, it mounts with ro. Tried the rw option in fstab, guid and so on. Nothing changes
[10:58] <s10gopal> tomreyn: found anything?
[10:58] <angelfire009> plz help.    when i login, i get a message that:- sorry, ubuntu 16.04 has experienced an internal error. package: systemd 229-4ubuntu21
[10:58] <tomreyn> s10gopal: not really, i just gave upo searching the web for similar issues. all i know is that this is probably not a well supported device. try with the non HWE kernel,
[10:59] <s10gopal> how?
[10:59] <tomreyn> Alex___: that's probably a matter of the server (samba) configuration then.
[10:59] <parapan> is this working >
[11:00] <Alex___> tomreyn: maybe. but with my last linux, kubuntu, it worked just fine
[11:00] <zeta> dpkg: error processing package grub-pc (--remove): subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 10
[11:01] <tomreyn> s10gopal: which ubuntu release is this?
[11:01] <s10gopal> tomreyn: 16 lts
[11:01] <s10gopal> tomreyn: updated
[11:01] <s10gopal> tomreyn: fresh installed
[11:02] <tomreyn> s10gopal: so 16.04 lts. here's how: sudo apt install linux-image-generic; sudo apt purge linux-image-generic-hwe-16.04
[11:02] <zeta> apt-get check: unmet dependencies: grub-pc grub2-common grub-pc-bin
[11:02] <tomreyn> Alex___: i agree that's unexpected then. sorry, i would not know, maybe kde mounts them differently.
[11:03] <s10gopal> tomreyn: i tried ubuntu 17.04 but same problem and after kernel update disk went read only mode
[11:03] <zeta> I'll give $10 (Paypal) to anyone who successfully helps me re-install grub
[11:03] <tomreyn> s10gopal: 17.04 is !eol, no longer supported. but it was probably using the same kernel version by the time you tried.
[11:03] <Alex___> tomreyn: ok thanks anyway!
[11:04] <s10gopal> 17.10 sorry
[11:04] <s10gopal> tomreyn: tried last night
[11:04] <tomreyn> welcome, Alex, sorry i can't help
[11:05] <tomreyn> s10gopal: okay, still probably the same kernel version
[11:06] <tomreyn> s10gopal: the real issue will be your hardware and how the company producing it doesn't provide good linux drivers / good documentation.
[11:07] <s10gopal> tomreyn: i am using hp ay008 tx
[11:07] <tomreyn> s10gopal: i was referring to the broadcom wireless chipset you have in there
[11:07] <abdel_> hello guys, I am usung ubuntu 16.04. I can't intall programs, neither can i access ubuntu software centre. kindly help please
[11:08] <s10gopal> tomreyn: and how i can solve battery drain when laptop is off ?
[11:08] <s10gopal> tomreyn: around 1
[11:08] <s10gopal> tomreyn:  1% per hour ( shutdown)
[11:10] <SimonNL> remove battery while not in use.
[11:10] <SimonNL> hi gopal
[11:10] <s10gopal> hi
[11:11] <s10gopal> if i do it daily my battery will become loose
[11:13] <tomreyn> abdel_: which package are you trying to install?
[11:17] <abdel_> tomreyn: i was trying to install xpad. I doubt if anything is installing
[11:18] <abdel_> is it possible to format my ubuntu version without losing any document ? or App?
[11:18] <tomreyn> abdel_: can you run this on a terminal and post its output to a pastebin? sudo apt update; sudo apt install -f; sudo apt install xpad
[11:21] <tomreyn> abdel_: if your /home directory is on a different file system (or partition) than / (the highest path) then you can reinstall ubuntu, loosing information on installed packages, but not loosing personal data (as long as it is stored in the default location, so in /home)
[11:21] <BluesKaj> Howdy folks

[11:26] <BluesKaj> I prefer tight data vs loose data ;-)
[11:28] <BluesKaj> you might lose your pants if you belt is too loose
[11:33] <fishcooker> how to install iso file to usb drive
[11:35] <BluesKaj> fishcooker:  use dd , it's one method
[11:43] <BluesKaj> fishcooker:  don't forget to unmount the target drive/USB before running the dd command

[11:54] <waldmeister> hi
[11:55] <waldmeister> can i burn dvds with an ubuntu install dvd? for example, copy the contents of the dvd to hdd when booting?
[11:56] <waldmeister> so that the ubuntu install dvd does not occupy the drive
[11:58] <jimb_> waldmeister, It sounds like you are asking if you cansort-of install Ubuntu, on a temporary basis. If this is the case, I suggest you make a Bootable USB drive, then boot from that... then you can burn DVDs from the live boot session.
[12:01] <sud0x3> waldmeister: I think you want to be able to create another dvd from the live environment without having a copy of the iso, i dont think this would be possible
[12:02] <sud0x3> If you image the iso to a usb you will still need a way to get the iso to be able to burn another disc
[12:03] <waldmeister> thanks guys - i want to use a copy of the iso from my hard drive basically, i know that knoppix supports this, but i do not have any knoppix dvd here and can't create one because i can't create dvds :-/
[12:04] <jimb_> It's a little beyond this channel
[12:04] <jimb_> hit enter by mistake
[12:05] <jimb_> It's a little beyond this channels stopic, but you can create a drive partition and put the ISO in it, so that you have a "live" system that isn't a regular install.
[12:05] <sud0x3> waldmeister: You can directly boot iso files from grub2, you could install this to your harddrive assuming it is not holding an os and is just used for storage.
[12:05] <ericus> Why do I have to mute either Teamspeak or Banshee to get sound output from one of them? Not both at once http://i.imgur.com/dlUopa3.png
[12:06] <waldmeister> ok thanks, this sounds good - hope it will not mess around with the system too much
[12:07] <sud0x3> waldmeister: if there is a system on the mentioned hardrive do not play with installing grub on it
[12:16] <waldmeister> ok, i guess i will just buy a cheap usb stick and create a live system on it
[12:17] <waldmeister> thanks for the help
[12:18] <ask-ygU5AP56> hi
[12:18] <ericus> hi
[12:19] <ask-ygU5AP56> how can I gain su, without sudo and a su password, on a current (ubuntu 17.10) running Ubuntu (lubuntu variety) install?
[12:20]  * ask-ygU5AP56 runs i386
[12:20] <waldmeister> you should not be able to i guess
[12:20] <ask-ygU5AP56> waldmeister, well, what if I want to, in this particular case, justifiedly?
[12:21]  * ask-ygU5AP56 has a /etc/sudoers syntax failure
[12:21] <jimb_> ask-ygU5AP56, Have you tried booting from a live-cd? Then you can have SU and interact with the filesystem from the 17.10 install
[12:21] <ask-ygU5AP56> ergo, no sudo. but the box runs. though it's crypted.
[12:22] <ask-ygU5AP56> I don't recall writing anything, password wise, down. and it doesn't ask currently during startup.
[12:22] <brym> hi all. got an update error. i get a 403 when apt tries to update lxc/lxd from the cache. says there's no release file. any suggestions?
[12:22] <ask-ygU5AP56> so I figure, it won't be seen via an 'external' boot & mount.
[12:25] <jimb_> ask-ygU5AP56, Sorry, I don't think anyone is going to walk you through privilege escalation steps on this channel and I don't know how to walk you through mounting an encrypted partition in rw mode via external boot, but I figure that's what you are looking for instruction on.
[12:27] <guillaum2> hello
[12:29] <gordonjcp> ask-ygU5AP56: sounds like you've got an unrivalled opportunity to learn how to back up, wipe, reinstall and restore a machine :-)
[12:30] <gordonjcp> encrypted volume setup shouldn't be in the pointy-clicky installer
[12:30] <Pozzo> hello
[12:30] <gordonjcp> it should require some sort of physical key to enable, that you only get after doing a proper course so you know exactly how screwed you'll be when the encrypted drive goes wrong
[12:31] <Pozzo> I've a ubuntu server (in a VM) with a very weird behavior : some command line (like "top") are becoming very (very) slow to start
[12:31] <Pozzo> I mean : i run start... I have to wait 10s before top displays the running process... but once top is displayed all is normal... top is refreshing the screen normally
[12:32] <Pozzo> and the CPU/RAM is normal too
[12:32] <Pozzo> any idea to explain that ? something I could track to find what is happend ?
[12:40] <unimatrix9> hi there
[12:40] <LordDragon> hey all. i always run into this problem where /boot gets 100% full with old kernels. then it becomes almost impossible to remove the old ones because /boot full causes errors
[12:40] <LordDragon> i tried apt-get purge
[12:40] <LordDragon> it fails
[12:41] <ericus> LordDragon install bikeshed
[12:41] <ericus> and then sudo purge-old-kernels
[12:41] <LordDragon> ericus: im sure there is a built in way to do it. id rather not install 3rd party stuff that does who knows what
[12:41] <akik> LordDragon: if you get this problem, remove a initramfs or two and then repeat the previous command
[12:42] <unimatrix9> we use mu-editor for programming with micro python, now the latest update for ubuntu 16.04 LTS breaks the mu-editor program ( bin file from website ) , ImportError: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1: undefined symbol: drmGetDevices2
[12:42] <akik> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RemoveOldKernels
[12:42] <LordDragon> akik: ok. i didnt want to start just rm files and breaking the proper removal process. but ill try that. thanks
[12:42] <unimatrix9> any clue' s or tips are welcome
[12:43] <mbi> brym: did you get an answer to your question?
[12:43] <LordDragon> akik: that link is really helpful. thanks :D
[12:44] <akik> LordDragon: it seems to suggest that you need to run unattended-upgrades
[12:45] <banisterfiend> how boys, how do i add aliases for short cuts? say i want to add an alias for C-c (copy) and C-v(paste) etc
[12:51] <akik> LordDragon: it's kind of weird that the new kernel update doesn't check the available space in /boot (or /) since it's a really easy and quick check)
[12:51] <akik> LordDragon: but the problem with running out of disk space can create a multitude of problems
[12:53] <LordDragon> ok even deleting some of htose files doesnt work
[12:53] <LordDragon> cuz every time i try to do a purge
[12:53] <LordDragon> with apt-get or dpkg
[12:53] <LordDragon> i get "unmet dependencies"
[12:53] <LordDragon> it says that the kernel im trying to purge depends on the same kernel im trying t purge
[12:54] <LordDragon> it tells me to run "sudo apt-get install -f"
[12:54] <LordDragon> which then puts back EVERYTHING i just deleted
[12:54] <LordDragon> its like forcing me to have a full /boot
[12:55] <brym> mbi: i did not
[12:56] <mbi> and you are running a supported version of Ubuntu?
[12:56] <mbi> be aware that 17.04 isnt supported anymore
[12:57] <brym> 16.04
[12:58] <ITR> Hey, so a few years ago I dual-booted fedora on my laptop with windows 7, then later I decided to triple-boot with ubuntu too. However, ubuntu decided to install it's own loader over the windows 7 loader, instead of over grub, which made me unable to start windows (If I choose windows 7 (loader) in grub or the ubuntu loader, it just brings me to the ubuntu loader). Earlier I tried using boot repair, but that just made me loop into the g
[12:58] <ITR> I choose windows 7 (loader) (pastebin from that: https://paste.ubuntu.com/26453861/). I also tried "Restore MBR" and selected the particion Windows 7 (loader) is on, which didn't seem to change anything (this is after getting the log). Any ideas on how to fix this?
[12:58] <mbi> brym, did you try: apt-get clean && apt-get update ?
[13:00] <brym> mbi: i usually autoclean with each update/upgrade. is this different to clean?
[13:02] <mbi> try apt-get clean && apt-get update and eventually apt-get upgrade and see if this helps you in this case.
[13:02] <mbi> there is a difference between autoclean and clean
[13:03] <mbi> clean: removes all stored archives in your cache.
[13:03] <mbi> autoclean: removes all stored archives in your cache for packages that can not be downloaded anymore (thus packages that are no longer in the repo or that have a newer version in the repo)
[13:03] <BillD73> ITR: possibly update-grub is what your after?
[13:05] <ITR> BillD73: What does that do again?
[13:05] <brym> mbi: tried it with apt and apt-get. no joy.
[13:06] <mbi> still the same 403 against the repo? .. sure the repo is avaliable? ;-)
[13:07] <brym> well, it's canonical so i hope it is. although it is coming from a ppa, but i couldn't imagine that being an issue for something canonical-maintained.
[13:07] <brym> *shouldn't. of course i could imagine it lol
[13:08] <mbi> if it's a simple http-repo, try to see if you can access it through a browser of some sort, just to make sure it is online.
[13:08] <ITR> BillD73: Oh, if it just regenerates the grub menu it won't help. It finds the windows7 loader on sda1
[13:09] <brym> mbi: ok, looks like this might resolve it. trying it now: https://askubuntu.com/questions/997943/receiving-403-forbidden-on-ubuntu-dists-xenial-main-binary-amd64-packages-unab
[13:11] <BillD73> ITR:  i dont see anything in the pastebin for a grub error
[13:12] <mbi> :-)
[13:13] <BillD73> ITR: actually #grub maybe more suitable to helping you solve this
[13:13] <ITR> Hmm, I'll try there then
[13:14] <brym> mbi: sorted. lxd/lxc now updating without errors or interrupting the rest of the update/upgrade process.
[13:14] <mbi> Great
[13:16] <brym> now onto the next problem. i just went to dunk a biscuit into my  coffee and... well, i need more coffee :P
[13:17] <mbi> Guess that belongs in #need-more-coffee :-)
[13:19] <brym> swear i spend more time getting coffee sometimes lol. oh well.
[13:21] <BillD73> :-D
[13:22] <ask-ygU5AP56> gordonjcp, well, it's clear some sort of 'offline' code oughta be recorded.
[13:22] <ask-ygU5AP56> gordonjcp, then again there may have been a moment when a 'password' was entered.
[13:22] <ask-ygU5AP56> I don't recall, it's been like 2 years?
[13:23] <ask-ygU5AP56> never once have I later on entered it either during startup..
[13:23] <aiena> I have one strange problem. I have a script which exports and adds to path for the current shell. The binary is in the PATH. I have verified this by looking at the env var. But when I try to run the binary. Ubuntu complains that the app is not installed. I want to run the thing from my custom path. WHat is making ubuntu not read the bin from path?
[13:24] <abdel_> https://paste.ubuntu.com/26463684/.......................please i need help guys
[13:25] <aiena> hmm looks like corrupted data abdel_ from one of the ppa's you have
[13:25] <aiena> not necessarily corrupt but invalid data
[13:26] <aiena> abdel_: I think you added https://launchpad.net/~am-monkeyd/+archive/ubuntu/nautilus-elementary-ppa and it is creating a mess for you
[13:26] <aiena> try and see if you can install ppa-purge
[13:26] <akik> aiena: please make a pastebin showing the commands and error messages you get. that way someone is more easily be able to help you

[13:33] <OnkelTem> How to decrypt and mount a user directory from another HDD?
[13:34] <ftpuser1> hi there
[13:35] <ftpuser1> guys can you read this?
[13:35] <tomreyn> ftpuser1: yes
[13:35] <yeats> OnkelTem: I've been there - no fun and that's why I've not done that since
[13:35] <aiena> akik: here https://paste.pound-python.org/show/gGBXnf7dP7zlHFHkTlQA/ on line one I source my vars. On line 4 I print $PATH you can see a path is prepended the "COrdova" thing. Then on line 8 I do nan ls you can see a binary "node" is in that path. On line 12 I am trying to run it but ubuntu seems to ignore the $PATH and says node is not installed. On line 17 I proove node can run from the path def
[13:35] <ftpuser1> ok cool
[13:35] <tomreyn> Cheez: build it against the 16.04.1 kernel
[13:35] <aiena> *defined in $PATH
[13:36] <yeats> OnkelTem: this might help: https://askubuntu.com/questions/605538/recover-encrypted-home-folder-after-reinstallation#605634
[13:36] <akik> aiena: i remember some version of nodejs needing to create a symbolic link "node"
[13:36] <akik> aiena: oh sorry i see that it's in that long path
[13:36] <tomreyn> OnkelTem: if you're referring to an ecryptfs encrypted home directory (that's what the ubuntu installer offers for encypting your home directoy) then after mounting it you should find a text file explaining how to decrypt it.

[13:37] <aiena> but why

[13:38] <keeb> Is anyone familiar with NVIDIA drivers? I need to install a legacy driver and ubuntu refuses to. I've already purged nvidia*, and then when I run "apt-get install nvidia-361" (Or any old version), it installs nvidia-384 instead. I've also tried to "hold" the old version in apt and either I am doing something wrong or that doesn't work either. TY
[13:38] <aiena> nothing
[13:38] <geirha> not which, type. ''type node''
[13:38] <OnkelTem> tomreyn: it reminds me how I once tried to locate my phone in a browser: Google sent a confirmation to my phone that I want to log into locating service
[13:38] <aiena> geirha: "type" also says not found
[13:38] <aiena> it is weird bcause I did the ls from the output of echo $PATH to be sure
[13:39] <OnkelTem> I booted from a Live 17.10 image and I have my old hdd mounted. Now how can I mount my home directory?
[13:39] <geirha> remove the backslash in PATH
[13:39] <OnkelTem> yeats: thanks, I'll try that
[13:39] <aiena> geirha: the starting one
[13:39] <akik> aiena: the back slash doesn't work in PATH
[13:40] <aiena> ah
[13:40] <aiena> so if there are spaces how do I tell bash to keep the space?
[13:40] <aiena> I used a literal ''
[13:40] <akik> aiena: you can set the path with e.g. export PATH="/path test:$PATH"
[13:40] <geirha> aiena: '' or \ or ""
[13:41] <aiena> so variables store spaces
[13:41] <geirha> you had used both '' and \, use onlye one
[13:41] <geirha> though I recommend not using paths with whitespace in PATH. There are many badly written scripts out there that may try to parse PATH and choke on spaces in it
[13:42] <aiena> geirha: yes I think when I coped from path it had that thank you
[13:42] <OnkelTem> Damn it, when I try to mount my encrypted home it is asking me a lot of questions
[13:42] <aiena> geirha: ok
[13:43] <OnkelTem> So I typed: mount -t ecryptfs ./.ecryptfs/username/.Private ./username
[13:43] <beaver> @info musl
[13:43] <OnkelTem> And it asked my passphrase (typed), then the chiper (???) then the key length... and something else
[13:43] <beaver> !info musl
[13:44] <beaver> ^^
[13:44] <tomreyn> OnkelTem: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/zesty/en/man1/ecryptfs-recover-private.1.html
[13:44] <beaver> musl-linux-ppc64el really ?
[13:44] <OnkelTem> tomreyn: oh man, that's what I need really, thanks!
[13:46] <tomreyn> OnkelTem: i should actually have pointed you to http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/artful/en/man1/ecryptfs-recover-private.1.html (artful, not zesty)
[13:46] <aiena> abdel_:  maybe ask your question again incase it got lost. Try to install ppa-purge and see if you can remove that ppa and fix your lists
[14:11] <anddam> what's the difference between dia (dia-normal executable) and dia-gnome? I'm running both and I cannot spot a difference

[14:22] <OnkelTem> Folks, one more question thought it's probably KDE related. I've just installed 17.10 and it's asking me about encryption of my home dir
[14:23] <OnkelTem> So it showed a message and asked for my passphrase
[14:24] <yeats> OnkelTem: yep, that will be required every time you mount your home dir (at boot)
[14:25] <yeats> OnkelTem: and not just on KDE - that's the way the encryptfs feature works
[14:25] <OnkelTem> http://en.zimagez.com/full/b05cf24929edc4e0187bb987ec28cd5495057f9b081c56976924c0fb25bf0a9d3c4f29510eb2fcf3ff6b89f18bbaf646c9ce72e8c6989db7.php
[14:26] <OnkelTem> yeats: no, that's another thing. I've installed a new system and want to encrypt my home dir again.
[14:26] <OnkelTem> So it's the first time it asks for a passphrase
[14:27] <OnkelTem> SO basically it asked me to type a passphrase and stopped
[14:27] <yeats> OnkelTem: so what's the question?
[14:27] <OnkelTem> what it is assumed to happen next?
[14:27] <yeats> oh
[14:27] <OnkelTem> What is it doing?
[14:27] <yeats> it's been long enough since I used that feature that I probably shouldn't pretend to know - I'll step back and let others respond :-)
[14:28] <OnkelTem> yeats: np :)

[14:39] <vistefan> Hello! In lens menu, when i press "Windows" key and search "sublime" I see SubimeText icon twice and with wrong name (starting with "untitled"). This is because I re-insatlled sublime as a package several times when it cought some glitch. But in /usr/share/application there is only one *.desctop file. ST also is not listed in Nautilus "open with" list. How can I remove wrong icons and fix the thing.
[14:40] <Mouzz> EriC^^: In case you wanted to know what my "No space left on device" problem was, it was btrfs related. See https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/FAQ chanpter 4
[14:43] <backnforth> How do I install php7.0-pgsql on Ubuntu 17.10? I don't see it with my package manager
[14:44] <yeats> anddam: if you do 'apt-cache showpkg dia' and 'apt-cache showpkg dia-gnome' you'll see the differences in dependencies - I don't know the answer to your original question, but you might direct it to the package maintainer(s): https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/gnome/dia-gnome
[14:44] <deem> backnforth: it's called php7.1-pgsql in 17.10
[14:44] <oerheks> backnforth, 7.1
[14:46] <Cheez> hmm, i've got further now thanks to tomryn. Back on the old kernel and the dkms module builds, but when I log in via lightdm i see a black screen then get thrown back to the lightdm login. https://gist.github.com/Cheezykins/2a1a6ee80e850526b8408d92648a0305#file-xorg-0-log-L129 link to relevent logs including a link to the lines in the Xorg logs showing what i think is probably the cause, but i don't know how
[14:46] <Cheez> to fix it >_>
[14:47] <backnforth> deem: oerheks But I need PHP7.0
[14:48] <oerheks> backnforth, unlikely you have 7.0 on artfull
[14:48] <s10gopal> oerheks: plz help me
[14:48] <deem> is there this much difference between 7.0 and 7.1?

[14:51] <oerheks> backnforth,  what you ask for, is unsupported
[14:51] <ppf> in a shell script, is there away to _parse_ another shellscript
[14:51] <Cheez> backnforth: it's worth bearing in mind that support for php7.0 is ending this year, if you have stuff that can't work on PHP 7.1 it's worth updating it to work on 7.1

[14:52] <Cheez> its already out of feature support, just security fixes.

[14:55] <backnforth> or*
[14:55] <ppf> i have a file which is basicly shell syntax, but contains declarative information that i would like to read
[14:55] <Budgii> sl0gopal, i don't know if you have the program called caffeine, but i do and it keeps your computer active
[14:55] <s10gopal> Budgii: i dont think it is installed
[14:56] <ppf> i.e. it contains # comments and a single line of files, which might be broken up terminating with \
[14:56] <backnforth> Cheez: IS the support ending only for Ubuntu or for php7.0 in it's entirety?
[14:56] <Budgii> sl0gopal: Alright. Not sure what's going on then. is the machine truly turned off?
[14:56] <ppf> how best to parse this?
[14:56] <s10gopal> Budgii: yes i think so , laptop led are off when i shutdown it
[14:56] <s10gopal> Budgii: tried sudo poweroff too
[14:57] <Cheez> backnforth: php 7.0 in its entirity. http://php.net/supported-versions.php
[14:57] <Budgii> sl0gopal, I don't know what to tell you. if the battery is easily removed, try taking it out overnight and then reinstalling it in the morning. See if it's the battery
[14:58] <s10gopal> Budgii: tried no drain , it only happen when i install ubuntu
[14:58] <tomreyn> ppf: you could use some programming or scripting language to do so, such as python, awk, sed.
[14:58] <s10gopal> Budgii: not happen when i install windows 10 , i am using ubuntu only now
[14:59] <ppf> tomreyn: of course, but i'd prefer not to :)
[14:59] <jimb_> s10gopal, It sounds to me, like the poweroff command isn't actually completely powering off the laptop... it sounds like it's leaving the board powered up. I had seen that long ago, not recently.
[14:59] <ppf> tomreyn: parsing is hard
[14:59] <aiena> s10gopal: one thing you can do to be sure its not ubuntu is after shutting dowm remove the battery then press the laptop power button for 15 seconds at this point there will be no power to anything in the circuitry. Then place the battery back into the laptop and see if it is still draining at 1% per hour. Then it is the battery/the circuit but not ubuntu.
[14:59] <Budgii> sl0gopal, curious. Does the machine sound like it's running when its off?
[15:00] <s10gopal> Budgii: no
[15:00] <tomreyn> ppf: you asked for a way to parse it, now you don't seem to want to parse it. i don't see the logic in this. ;)
[15:00] <aiena> well if it were running too there would either be a light indicator or some vibration from atleast a fan/HDD
[15:00] <Budgii> sl0gopal i'm out of ideas
[15:00] <s10gopal> aiena: tried battery is good and it dont happen when i install windows 10
[15:00] <ppf> tomreyn: i ask for a parser, i don't wanna write one myself ;)
[15:00] <aiena> s10gopal: did you try my steps.
[15:00] <ppf> tomreyn: i will if i have to, but i don't want to
[15:01] <tomreyn> ppf: unless it'S a standard format, it's unlikely that one exists,
[15:01] <s10gopal> aiena: yes i am messign with it from 4 days
[15:01] <yeats> uwjesq: you should ask in #maria
[15:01] <ppf> tomreyn: well it's posix shell syntax
[15:01] <tomreyn> ppf: can you show an example?
[15:01] <s10gopal> aiena: it dont happen when i hard power it off
[15:01] <uwjesq> yeats: I'll do that, too.
[15:02] <aiena> s10gopal: because if the battery is removed and you press power for 15 seconds ubuntu has absolutely no chance to start and any remnant process will die. If after 24 hours from that point your battery hasnt depleted 24% assuming 1% per hour then lets see.
[15:02] <s10gopal> aiena: yes it don't drain
[15:03] <aiena> then it is ubuntu
[15:03] <ppf> tomreyn: https://paste.ubuntu.com/26464581/
[15:03] <bluesmonk> if you press the meta key, and type startup applications there is a gui that helps you define which software runs at startup. I had four entries, and dumb me removed one that I think was important
[15:03] <s10gopal> aiena: what can i do ?
[15:03] <aiena> s10gopal: just try installing another linux distribution e.g. opensuse and see if it drains still
[15:03] <bluesmonk> but I did not get to see it, something about GNOME
[15:04] <Budgii> sl0gopal, do you have lenova or a really new computer?
[15:04] <bluesmonk> would some please share with me what entry they have?
[15:04] <s10gopal> aiena: tried , but they dont work with my laptop , only ubuntu works good
[15:04] <aiena> if it does then it could indicate a wider problem e.g. maybe in the linux kernel or something.
[15:04] <tomreyn> ppf: this is the source format (or haystack), i ssume? what's the target (needle)? also, i don't see how that's posix shell syntax.
[15:04] <aiena> s10gopal: which laptop is this?
[15:04] <s10gopal> aiena: hp ay 008tx
[15:05] <ppf> tomreyn: it's the haystack; i want to grep all the .tex files out of this list
[15:05] <ppf> granted there is non in the sample ... say all the .tfm files
[15:06] <aiena> hmm this is skylake other distros should work. I had trouble with skylake but when it was really really new.
[15:06] <aiena> s10gopal: Core i5 6200U/4 GB DDR4/1TB/DOS/2 GB Dedicated Graphics are the specs?
[15:06] <s10gopal> aiena: i tried dos windows 10 windows 7 and no drain
[15:06] <s10gopal> aiena: yes
[15:07] <Budgii> sl0gopal, read this: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2359966
[15:07] <tomreyn> ppf: so just the file names, not their paths?
[15:07] <gt8ost4l> can anybody help me install drivers for my video card?
[15:07] <ppf> tomreyn: including the paths
[15:07] <s10gopal> Budgii: http://www.hecticgeek.com/2012/09/disabling-wake-on-lan-in-ubuntu-might-save-a-tiny-bit-of-power-on-your-laptop/ is same
[15:07] <Budgii> gotcha. sorry, I didnt read your original link
[15:08] <Budgii> Did the commands work?
[15:08] <s10gopal> aiena: how i can i fix linux ?
[15:08] <bluesmonk> nvm, found this https://askubuntu.com/questions/831215/what-are-the-default-startup-applications-preferences-in-ubuntu-16-04
[15:08] <s10gopal> Budgii: yes but still drain , output show d
[15:08] <aiena> s10gopal: I dont understand the problem yet so I cannot help yet.
[15:08] <aiena> I mean untill we find the root coause it is still a mystery
[15:08] <aiena> cause
[15:09] <s10gopal> aiena: lets find it
[15:09] <Budgii> sl0gopal, does this sound like anything you've tried? "hwclock --systohc --local"
[15:09] <s10gopal> Budgii: no
[15:09] <Budgii> I don't know what you ahve and haven't tried but here is another link https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-laptop-and-netbook-25/battery-drains-while-off-acpi-related-4175429035/
[15:11] <s10gopal> aiena: how i can take battery drain log ? or log when my laptop shutdown ?
[15:11] <aiena> hmm not sure you can unless the thing that does the logging is still running.
[15:12] <aiena> there is "journalctl" but that is for running systems
[15:12] <jimb_> s10gopal, do you have an ammeter and wire? That's how I would be checking the power draw on the battery when the laptop is off
[15:12] <tomreyn> ppf: grep '^    /.*\?$' haystack | sed -e 's#^    ##' -e 's#\\$##'
[15:12] <s10gopal> jimb_: no , but it only happen when i install ubuntu , it dont happen when i install windows
[15:13] <s10gopal> jimb_: and battery dont drain when i remove it
[15:13] <mau> tu
[15:13] <ppf> tomreyn: what about multiple files per line
[15:13] <tomreyn> ppf: i have not seen such in your haystack
[15:13] <Budgii> sl0gopal, incase you missed it: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-laptop-and-netbook-25/battery-drains-while-off-acpi-related-4175429035/
[15:14] <ppf> tomreyn: i do know how to hack this together. i'm looking for a way to not do it myself.
[15:14] <s10gopal> Budgii: read
[15:14] <tomreyn> ppf: well, you'll need to.
[15:14] <s10gopal> Budgii: i am using ubuntu 16.04ts
[15:15] <s10gopal> aiena: jimb_ Budgii plz help me
[15:15] <Budgii> sl0gopal. we are..
[15:15] <anddam> yeats: thanks
[15:16] <aiena> s10gopal: did you see the link posted by Budgii
[15:16] <s10gopal> aiena: yes
[15:16] <aiena> well everyone is trying to the best of their abilities to help
[15:16] <Budgii> sl0gopal, did it work?
[15:16] <s10gopal> aiena: how he identified this ? "I finally found the cause of the issue: the command "hwclock --systohc --local" causes the battery to drain when the laptop is off."
[15:16] <aiena> s10gopal: that we do not know
[15:17] <aiena> every path to an investigation is a different one
[15:17] <Budgii> Thats right aiena. :(
[15:17] <Budgii> :)*
[15:17] <ppf> tomreyn: sad.
[15:18] <ppf> tomreyn: matter of fact, grep+sed is a nightmare. python's shlex is probably the nicest way to go
[15:18] <s10gopal> aiena: Budgii it dont work in ubuntu 16.04
[15:19] <tomreyn> ppf: that's why i listed it first. i also think this is kind of off-topic for ubuntu support. maybe try the respective language channels or ##bash
[15:19] <aiena> s10gopal: it dont work is not very useful. What is the command output
[15:19] <aiena> are you in a root shell
[15:20] <aiena> what is the terminal output
[15:20] <s10gopal> aiena: i cant find the file which it says
[15:20] <ppf> tomreyn: building the parser or looking for one?
[15:20] <aiena> I need to go for dinner be back later tc
[15:20] <ppf> tomreyn: the former i tend to agree with, but i won't be needing support for that
[15:20] <dingir> how i wish logitech would support their stuff on linux
[15:20] <dingir> very sad very tears
[15:20] <tomreyn> ppf: right. what does it say when you run 'file' on the haystack file
[15:20] <Budgii> dingir, what do you have that is logitech
[15:21] <ppf> tomreyn: ASCII text
[15:21] <dingir> a g810 keyboard

[15:36] <ducasse> jon5000: questions about adb would be better asked in #android
[15:36] <jon5000> Budgii,  android development bridge.  allows you to interact with and control android devices through a computer, such as pushing files, installing OS, getting to bootloader etc.
[15:36] <tomreyn> backnforth: which file system is it? can you provide output of "ls -l /path/to/symlink" and "readlink -f /path/to/symlink" and "ls -l $(readlind -f /path/to/symlink)" ?

[15:47] <mertl> hey
[15:47] <paulo> hey
[15:48] <mertl> how are you guys
[15:48] <mertl> am almost new in ubuntu
[15:48] <Richard_Cavell> Hi everyone. I'm on Ubuntu 16.04. I'm trying to learn the "cal" command. Yet the man page doesn't seem to match the cal installed on my system.  What's happening?
[15:49] <mertl> am type the command "man cal" now
[15:50] <mertl> so i get response
[15:50] <mertl> i dont know what is happening but try this command
[15:50] <Richard_Cavell> It doesn't appear to like the options -w or -J for example, even though they are in the man page
[15:50] <mertl> sudo apt-get install cal
[15:51] <Richard_Cavell> E: Unable to locate package cal
[15:52] <orgasmix> mertl: your system must have the POSIX cal (man 1p cal) while your manpages default to an implementation with extensions that aren't on your system
[15:52] <orgasmix> mertl: try sudo apt install bsdmainutils_9.0.12+nmu1ubuntu1_amd64
[15:53] <Richard_Cavell> E: Unable to locate package bsdmainutils_9.0.12+nmu1ubuntu1_amd64
[15:55] <oerheks> the -w option if for ncal only, iirc
[15:56] <WacomNoob> I have been trying to get my Ubuntu 16.04 to detect my Wacom Intuos 2, but have so far been unsuccessful... Can anyone help me figure that out?
[15:56] <orgasmix> just bsdmainutils?
[15:56] <oerheks> bsdmainutils are standard installed, he had cal
[15:56] <Richard_Cavell> orgasmix, similar response
[16:04] <gt8ost4l> does anybody know how to install the intel drivers for ubuntu 17.10

[16:20] <s10gopal> battery drain when laptop is off (shutdown) only happen when i install ubuntu , disabled wol
[16:21] <oerheks> s10gopal, time to file a bugreport, or put your question on askubuntu.com
[16:21] <s10gopal> oerheks: lets file a bug report
[16:21] <oerheks> it sounds like an ACPI + hp issue, not an Ubuntu sisue to me
[16:21] <oerheks> !bug
[16:21] <s10gopal> oerheks: plz help me , plz try to troubleshoot it
[16:22] <_BIGSHOT_> i have 16.04LTS i want to install 17.10 how can i save my home folder, bookmarks ... i want minimum fuss
[16:22] <oerheks> s10gopal,  troubleshoot? tons of people tried i have no clue there
[16:23] <_BIGSHOT_> anyone?
[16:23] <oerheks> not sure what part you need to adress the bugreport to, i think acpi
[16:24] <s10gopal> oerheks: plz see this http://paste.ubuntu.com/26465020/
[16:24] <s10gopal> oerheks: 1207
[16:25] <_BIGSHOT_> oerheks, can you tell me bud how to do that?
[16:25] <_BIGSHOT_> can it be done automatically
[16:26] <oerheks> _BIGSHOT_, back it up on an external hdd/usb stick?
[16:27] <s10gopal> oerheks: can you plz help me in reporting a bug ? i dont know what to write
[16:27] <oerheks> you *could* choose to install and keep the /home/ folder, but no guarantee ,it can get lost
[16:28] <ducasse> _BIGSHOT_: boot a live image, copy what you want to save to a usb stick
[16:28] <oerheks> s10gopal, just follow the bug url from ubottu;  ubuntu-bug acpi # or something else?
[16:28] <s10gopal> oerheks: i dont know what to write , which log should i ost
[16:29] <s10gopal> battery drain when laptop is off (shutdown) only happen when i install ubuntu , disabled wol
[16:31] <oerheks> s10gopal, that should do fine, it sends system info with the logs too
[16:31] <ducasse> s10gopal: then you write that - describe the problem and what you have tried to solve it
[16:33] <Nice_Man> Hi
[16:35] <s10gopal> oerheks: i am unable to understand it
[16:35] <s10gopal>  battery drain when laptop is off (shutdown) only happen when i install ubuntu , disabled wol
[16:35] <Justus> hi, I'm trying to upgrade clamav but apparently the latest version in the repos for trusty is 0.99.2, any suggestions what to do while that zero day is still rampant?
[16:38] <s10gopal>  battery drain when laptop is off (shutdown) only happen when i install ubuntu , disabled wol
[16:38] <oerheks> Justus, sudo freshclam # should get the latest defs
[16:38] <aiena> In ununtu suppose I install a deb which is not from the distro e.g. say the official Brackets deb how do I track it?
[16:41] <oerheks> aiena, you could get some info: apt-cache policy <name.deb>
[16:43] <aiena> ok
[16:43] <aiena> I am guessing with dpkg too you may be able to find out how to remove it
[16:44] <ftawolf> gm
[16:45] <Justus> oerheks: I'm not aware that a definition file update can fix the zero day exploits of clamd
[16:45] <Justus> I've disabled it for now anyways, but it is worrying that there's no patch :/
[16:47] <oerheks> " fix the zero day exploits of clamd" ... really?
[16:47] <s10gopal> battery drain when laptop is off(shutdown ) tried disable wol
[16:48] <Justus> oerheks: http://blog.clamav.net/2018/01/clamav-0993-has-been-released.html
[16:50] <brainwash> Justus: bug 1744930
[16:50] <auronandace> Justus: that was yesterday, I think it may need a little time to filter through to updating clamav in the repo
[16:50] <brainwash> >In progress
[16:50] <s10gopal> battery drain when laptop is off(shutdown ) tried disable wol , dont happen when i install windows
[16:51] <Justus> thanks brainwash amd auronandace I'll leave it disabled for now and update as soon as possible :)
[16:51] <s10gopal> brainwash: plz help me
[16:52] <oerheks> s10gopal, repeating over and over does not work, did you file a bugreport yet/?
[16:52] <s10gopal> oerheks: i dont know how to do it
[16:53] <s10gopal> oerheks: plz help me
[16:53] <brainwash> how can it drain the battery when it's powered off?
[16:53] <oerheks> s10gopal, take a read first https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs
[16:54] <Justus> brainwash: that doesn't look right, that's the merge request for the 0.99.3beta, clamav did change the versioning scheme because of this vulnerability, 0.99.3beta is now 0.100.0beta and 0.99.3 is the bugfix for the 7 DoS attacks against it
[16:54] <oerheks> brainwash, my idea too, but maybe that laptop keeps wireless up
[16:54] <brainwash> Justus: yeah. I should have linked this one bug 1745635
[16:55] <Justus> ah, ok, then it is already being adressed
[16:55] <Justus> alright, thank you :)
[16:56] <Nice_Man> From what i have read and understood linux is better without av or with one but in disabled mode and for scanning once a month...what do u think about that guys?
[16:56] <s10gopal> brainwash: oerheks tried to disable wifi before shutdow , but it didnt solve the problem'
[16:56] <brainwash> oerheks: my only guess would be that the system enters a different state, like suspend
[16:57] <Nice_Man> nice idea brainwash
[16:57] <Nice_Man> :]
[16:57] <s10gopal> brainwash: oerheks tried sudo poweroff too
[16:58] <Nice_Man> maybe problem with the hardware and not ubuntu
[16:58] <brainwash> Nice_Man: I think that AVs on linux are mainly used to scan windows files
[16:58] <Zombie> They are.
[16:58] <Nice_Man> i see brainwash
[16:59] <Zombie> ClamAV can detect some Linux Virii.
[16:59] <brainwash> does clamav even offer a realtime scanner?
[16:59] <Zombie> Yes.
[16:59] <brainwash> nice
[16:59] <s10gopal> a user in debian is also getting the same issue
[16:59] <oerheks> static antivirus patterns are useless these days, heuristic scanning on file and process changes is more usefull.
[16:59] <Zombie> but if you want to actually check for a compromoised system, you use rkhunter.
[17:00] <Nice_Man> maybe he should try run a live cd and then power off
[17:01] <Zombie> Some things that happen to Linux are like, motherboard ACPI issues.
[17:01] <Zombie> and people think they are virusees.
[17:02] <Zombie> Another thing.
[17:02] <Zombie> Linux incurs alot of "combat Damage" from automated bots scanning for public facing services
[17:03] <JonelethIrenicus> how can you see why a package was held back?
[17:04] <codingquark> s10gopal: since you insisted.
[17:04] <brainwash> JonelethIrenicus: even when running "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"?
[17:04] <s10gopal> oerheks: brainwash codingquark is also facing the same issue
[17:04] <JonelethIrenicus> brainwash: dont know haven't tried that, but I want to know what the issue is before moving forward
[17:05] <codingquark> This guy wants me to report a problem, but I'm using Debian. Not sure if you guys can help, but my issue is similar.
[17:05] <codingquark> I have http://support.hp.com/my-en/document/c04919819
[17:05] <brainwash> JonelethIrenicus: usually you can do apt-get install <package>, and see why it fails
[17:05] <JonelethIrenicus> brainwash: oh thanks
[17:05] <nacc> codingquark: which guy?
[17:06] <s10gopal> me
[17:06] <codingquark> HP AC179TX
[17:06] <s10gopal> nacc: me
[17:06] <codingquark> nacc: s10
[17:06] <codingquark> Oops, s10gopal
[17:06] <nacc> codingquark: sorry, i'm a bit confused, if you're on debian, you should report your bug to debian
[17:06] <s10gopal> codingquark: our laptop is same just gfx is diff but it have same gfx drivers
[17:07] <codingquark> nacc: of course! But s10gopal *really* wanted me to come here and say this.
[17:07] <brainwash> then contact HP
[17:07] <s10gopal> they dont support linux
[17:07] <nacc> s10gopal: codingquark: what is the issue again?
[17:07] <brainwash> maybe new firmware is available for your systems
[17:07] <s10gopal> nacc: battery drain when laptop is off (shutdown)
[17:07] <s10gopal> i am on latest bios
[17:08] <nacc> s10gopal: right, did you test with wol disabled?
[17:08] <Frjd> Everytime when I shutdown or reboot my 17.10 laptop it hangs during shutdown. Changing to another virtual terminal usually let's the system shutdown. Have anyone else experienced this and do you know of a fix?
[17:08] <s10gopal> nacc: yes
[17:08] <codingquark> In fact I've given up all hopes. I'm out people. Thanks for listening.
[17:08] <nacc> s10gopal: and you verifie dwol is actually off?
[17:08] <nacc> s10gopal: for your machine, the simplest solution maybe to just remove the battery
[17:08] <s10gopal> nacc: yes
[17:09] <s10gopal> nacc: but i cant do it daily and it drain 1% per hour
[17:10] <s10gopal> nacc: can you please help me in reporting it
[17:10] <brainwash> Frjd: google gives me quite some results when searching for that issue
[17:10] <Nice_Man> try to power off from live cd or usb so u will  rule out the  hardware side
[17:11] <s10gopal> Nice_Man: it dont happen when i install windows ,
[17:11] <Nice_Man> so maybe bug report or some googling for updates
[17:11] <s10gopal> Nice_Man: can you plz help me in reporting a bug?
[17:12] <Nice_Man> i dont know
[17:12] <Nice_Man> how yet :]
[17:12] <Frjd_> Saw that there's been a patch so nvm
[17:12] <ducasse> s10gopal: read the wiki page on reporting bugs first
[17:12] <Frjd_> I'll try and download it and see if it gets better
[17:12] <s10gopal> ducasse: read it
[17:13] <oerheks> ubuntu-bug acpi # and hit enter and follow instructions, how hard could that be?
[17:16] <s10gopal> oerheks: acpi package is not installed , still report it ?
[17:16] <doublehp> http://paste.debian.net/1007368/ does this mean an update of some package was done ? can I revert to old version of the package ?
[17:17] <oerheks> s10gopal, then no, it is not an acpi issue, though i would have guessed it was
[17:18] <s10gopal> oerheks: then what should i do ?
[17:18] <kostkon> !info acpi
[17:19] <oerheks> s10gopal, then i have no clue what package to file a bug against
[17:19] <oerheks> :-(
[17:19] <ducasse> oerheks: the kernel, i would think?
[17:19] <s10gopal> install acip ?
[17:19] <nacc> i woudl start with the kernel
[17:19] <nacc> and then it will get triaged around
[17:19] <s10gopal> what log should i post ?
[17:20] <nacc> s10gopal: `ubuntu-bug linux` and it will ldo the right thing on its own
[17:22] <Otiz> sd
[17:22] <s10gopal> nacc: plz give me more info , what should i post
[17:23] <oerheks> same line as you kept repeating for days? the bug tool collects the logs already
[17:26] <nacc> s10gopal: you don't need to 'post' anything
[17:26] <nacc> s10gopal: runt hat command
[17:26] <teward> s10gopal: you don't need to post anything.  Go into your computer, and run this command on the terminal: ubuntu-bug linux
[17:26] <teward> it'll ask you to describe the issues you're seeing
[17:26] <s10gopal> it ask for summary and desc too
[17:26] <teward> so describe the issue you're seeing yourself.
[17:26] <teward> the exact way you explained the issue here.
[17:26] <anonona> can Ubuntu 17.10 be installed without creating a swap partition?
[17:27] <oerheks> anonona, 17.10 uses swap-file now, standard
[17:27] <teward> anonona: yes, but you need to do a custom partition setup and specify what partition is what
[17:27] <ducasse> anonona: yes, it creates a swapfile
[17:27] <teward> ahh, didn't know about swapfile :)
[17:27] <teward> cool
[17:27] <anonona> teward: please elaborate.
[17:27] <oerheks> teward, only with a fresh install
[17:27] <s10gopal> any other files to upload ?
[17:28] <teward> oerheks: indeed.
[17:28] <teward> s10gopal: not that *you* have to upload, the bug filing tool will grab the other files it needs
[17:28] <teward> and then include that in the bug.

[17:30] <oerheks> s10gopal, good, now wait
[17:30] <teward> s10gopal: now you wait for the issue to be seen, addressed, etc.
[17:31] <s10gopal> should i keep posting it in irc too ?
[17:31] <teward> s10gopal: if there are any additional requests for information they'll be specified in the bug and then you provide that information in the bug.  Patience will now be required.
[17:31] <teward> s10gopal: under no circumstances should you keep posting it here
[17:31] <teward> to do so generates noise
[17:31] <teward> and causes us all grief.
[17:31] <anonona> is ubuntu 17.10 stable enough for beginners?
[17:31] <s10gopal> once in 30 min ?
[17:31] <teward> at this point, you now sit on your hands and wait for the bug to get triaged and looked at.
[17:31] <teward> s10gopal: ^
[17:31] <teward> s10gopal: no.
[17:32] <teward> you just *sit back, relax, have a cup of tea, and don't even mention this issue here again.*  just wait for the relevant teams to look at the bugs and triage them.
[17:32] <nacc> anonona: beginners should probably use 16.04.3
[17:33] <anonona> nacc: ok
[17:33] <s10gopal> how i can learn linux ?
[17:33] <nacc> s10gopal: take classes onlinne, read documentation, etc.
[17:33] <nacc> s10gopal: not really an ubuntu support topic
[17:34] <anonona> when I try to connect my android smartphone to my laptop in ubuntu mate, through an usb cable, it disconnects often and makes it difficult to transfer files. What could be the problem?
[17:35] <anonona> is there any way I can navigate the files on my phone without using the usb cable?
[17:35] <oerheks> anonona, maybe the screenlock kicks in ?
[17:35] <oerheks> navigate, no, android is protected against that, IIRC
[17:36] <gbc> is this a good place to ask for help with the juju ceph charm? is there a juju or openstack-charmers channel somewhere?
[17:36] <nacc> gbc: probably #ubuntu-server
[17:36] <nacc> !alis | gbc: there is also probably a juju channel
[17:36] <oerheks> gbc, #juju and #openstack-charms
[17:36] <anonona> oerheks: even when the screen is on.
[17:37] <oerheks> anonona, no clue why that happens then ..
[17:37] <sud0x3> anonona: what do you mean navigate files on the phone, with an application on the phone or useing a seperate computer?
[17:37] <gbc> oerheks, thx
[17:38] <gbc> ubuttu ... thx
[17:38] <sud0x3> anonona: by navifate do you mean send input like keyboard and mouse? or literally navigate files and folders.
[17:39] <anonona> sud0x3: navigate the files on the phone using my laptop while it is connected to the phone.
[17:39] <sud0x3> anonona: you said without using USB so how is the phone connected to you machine?
[17:40] <anonona> sud0x3: can I do that using bluetooth?
[17:40] <anonona> any package in ubuntu to do that?
[17:40] <sud0x3> im not sure why cant you use the cable?
[17:42] <sud0x3> there are a few methods of access overusb that i know of, one should generally just be mounted as a flash drive would be. The other more common one nowaday is using mtp (media transfer protocol) and failing that you can use adb.
[17:42] <anonona> sud0x3: while using cable the phone disconnects often, I am not able to locate the reason for that. Both laptop and phone are new.
[17:43] <sdfsdf>    which app created this group i2psvc in passwd ?
[17:43] <sud0x3> anonona: what phone is it?
[17:44] <sud0x3> sdfsdf: i2p
[17:44] <anonona> sud0x3: an android phone. Panasonic.
[17:45] <sdfsdf> sud i didn't have that
[17:45] <sud0x3> anonona: model so i can check the way they provide storage over usb
[17:45] <sud0x3> sdfsdf: im not certain but when i saw it i thought i2p service
[17:45] <sdfsdf> how to i check if i got i2p installed ? what's its name in command line
[17:45] <anonona> sud0x3: panasonic eluga ray x
[17:46] <anonona> I am using ubuntu mate 16.04.3
[17:47] <s10gopal> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-hwe/+bug/1745646 plz help me
[17:48] <sud0x3> anonona: Yeah i think its using mtp, you want to look for "mount mtp device"
[17:48] <troubled> Greetings! Anyone have any luck uploading any of the Ubuntu "iso" files to Dell iDRAC vFLASH? Nothing made by Ubuntu seems to be accepted as a valid image
[17:48] <anonona> sud0x3: ok.
[17:48] <oerheks> s10gopal, stop repeating, thanks.
[17:48] <ducasse> s10gopal: please stop asking that here and wait for a response to the bug report
[17:48] <troubled> My assumption is that Canonical makes incompatible iso's, but doesn't care to fix them?
[17:49] <sud0x3> last time i played with mtp was not on ubuntu so i cant be of much help there
[17:49] <sud0x3> anonona: ^
[17:49] <anonona> sud0x3: ok
[17:50] <sud0x3> anyone use mtp to mount thier phones? could help anonona
[17:50] <troubled> Anyway, whenever I try I get "RAC0237: An error occurred while uploading the vFlash image." and "RAC0236: Invalid image: Upload failed"
[17:51] <beaver> hello, where I can find the present value of vblank_mode ?
[17:52] <troubled> and aparently i'm the only person on the planet with dell vflash that uses non windows iso's :p
[18:05] <BluesKaj> not just troubled, but lonely
[18:05] <troubled> BluesKaj: I'm sorry, was that an attempt at an answer?
[18:06] <troubled> gt8ost4l: no pm please
[18:06] <gt8ost4l> troubled oh sorry
[18:06] <BluesKaj> nope, merely a comment
[18:07] <troubled> gt8ost4l: the problem is idrac doesn't like any iso's except MS image or FreeBSD memstick. it thinks iso/img files are not correct and rejects the upload
