[20:53] <Jordan_U> nathanslc: It appears that you have overwritten your Ubuntu ext4 partition with a Windows ntfs partition. I don't know what would cause that other than intentionally doing so with partitioning software.
[20:54] <nathanslc> Jordan_U:  I have not run partitioning software at all.  Only boot repair.  Is it possible that windows has done something?
[20:55] <Jordan_U> nathanslc: It's possible.  *Some* *might* be recoverable, but even that will take a good amount of work.
[20:57] <nathanslc> Jordan_U:  Thats ok (sort of) I have all important files on ubuntu backed up.  There are however, programs used on windows that I cannot do without and will be very difficult reinstall
[20:58] <nathanslc> Jordan_U: I am not sure what to do from here as far as reinstalling ubuntu to get both running again.  I dont want to ruin anything.
[20:58] <Jordan_U> nathanslc: Good for you. You have no idea how rare good backups are (at least looking at problems people have in this channel).
[20:58] <Guy1524> wow, I have been having so many computer problems recently.  Starting today, my computer has become very unstable, most of the time when I try to boot it turns off, sometimes it starts, then freezes, sometimes the system just spontaneously freezes or shutsdown.  when it freezes all these weird artifacts come up on my monitor.  I am unsure of what do do.  I have an asus rog gl115JW laptop w/ ubuntu 15.10
[20:59] <Jordan_U> nathanslc: Assuming that your Windows installation is fine, which is hard to say since we don't know what caused this very major repartitioning, it's easy to get Windows booting again.
[20:59] <nathanslc> Jordan_U: can you tell me how?
[20:59] <Jordan_U> nathanslc: sudo apt-get install mbr && sudo install-mbr /dev/sda
[21:00] <nathanslc> Jordan_U: Ok did it.  Now do I restart?
[21:01] <Jordan_U> nathanslc: Yes.
[21:01] <nathanslc> Jordan_U:  Ok, Thanks for all the help.  I hope it works.  If not, I may try and find you again.
[21:02] <Jordan_U> nathanslc: You're welcome.
[21:03] <Diethyl> Anyone know  much about binwalk?
[21:03] <MannyLNJ> Help please. df -h shows / is at 100% I have no idea what is using all the space
[21:04] <Ben64> MannyLNJ: sudo du -hd1 /
[21:04] <anonymous_> hello
[21:05] <k1l_> MannyLNJ: is it gui?
[21:05] <k1l_> i mean, is it a desktop?
[21:05] <EriC^^> Jordan_U: his ubuntu wasn't overwritten, it's just missing the partition entry
[21:05] <pezdispenser> is there a way to filter out all the messages in here of people loggin is, disconnecting, timing out etc?
[21:06] <EriC^^> in the extended one, there's a 370gb worth of "free space" before his swap
[21:06] <Diethyl> I'm trying to extract a bios rom from an .exe provided by samsung does anyone know how I might go about this?
[21:06] <MannyLNJ> Ben64 it looks like /media is using 115G but /media is where my USB drives are mounted (or so I though) k1l_  no CLI over SSH
[21:06] <Ben64> MannyLNJ: ok so "sudo du -xhd1 /" and how big is / ?
[21:06] <Jordan_U> EriC^^: Ahh, thank you. I was looking at start and end sectors and completely forgot to check within the extended partition.
[21:07] <Jordan_U> EriC^^: I hope they come back :(
[21:07] <MannyLNJ> Ben64, / is showing 134G
[21:07] <EriC^^> Jordan_U: what is that mbr program?
[21:07] <EriC^^> generic windows mbr?
[21:07] <Ben64> MannyLNJ: i mean the partition
[21:07] <Jordan_U> EriC^^: Yup. Generic MS style "chainload the active primary partition" MBR.
[21:08] <EriC^^> aha i see
[21:08] <evng> pezdispenser, it's possible but depends on the client you are using
[21:09] <MannyLNJ> Ben64, How do I get the size of the partition?  the output of the command you gave me is at http://pastebin.com/zhQDcHGD
[21:09] <Ben64> MannyLNJ: the df -h you did earlier should tell you
[21:10] <MannyLNJ> Ben64, ahh it's 142G
[21:10] <Ben64> MannyLNJ: yep, everything in /media isn't on mounted anything, it's just in the folder
[21:11] <MannyLNJ> Ben64, this is NOT good. How can I fix this? under /media/emanuel I see an entry for USB_HDD_01 which I thought was one of my drives
[21:12] <Gill> hey guys I am trying to setup a tftp server but every time i connect and tyep get test transfer times out
[21:12] <Gill> I ngrep and see the requests
[21:12] <Gill> any ideas?
[21:12] <Ben64> MannyLNJ: so re-run the command i gave you, except put /media instead of /
[21:12] <k1l_> MannyLNJ: cna you show a "mount" output?
[21:13] <sebsebseb> hi
[21:13] <DirtyCajun> if i have a cron job just executing a file that has this in it couldnt i put this command directly in the cron and eliminate the extra file?   `cat file1 > /etc/motd && cat file2 >> /etc/motd && cat file3 >> /etc/motd`
[21:13] <MannyLNJ> k1l_,   http://pastebin.com/JG772CNU , Mount info
[21:14] <znr> Good evening dames and gents! I wish to know how I can link an application to my desktop using terminal. I have tried the 'ln' command without success and after reading the man-file I have come to understand that the 'ln' command is for folders. Cheers!
[21:14] <Ben64> znr: ln is for anything
[21:14] <MannyLNJ> Ben64,  /media/emanuel 104G /media/plex 12G and /media 115G
[21:15] <Ben64> znr: i'm fairly sure you don't want a link though
[21:15] <Ben64> MannyLNJ: yeah you need to fix that
[21:15] <EriC^^> znr: actually ln is only for files if that's what you meant?
[21:15] <EriC^^> (hardlinks)
[21:16] <znr> I wish to open an application from my desktop (shortcut)
[21:16] <MannyLNJ> Ben64, how can I fix this? I have no idea what I did to the system. I can't even use auto complete because of the no space
[21:16] <EriC^^> znr: which application?
[21:16] <Ben64> MannyLNJ: you haven't mounted your usb drives
[21:16] <jgcampbell300_> in regex how do i point out r and 9 numbers r#########
[21:17] <Jordan_U> znr: What application are you trying to get on your desktop? For GUI applications that you want opened via double click you'll need to use a .desktop file, but it's also usually pretty easy to set that up graphically so that you don't need to know what's going on in the background.
[21:17] <znr> Popcorntime (downloaded and unpacked)
[21:17] <k1l_> MannyLNJ: it looks like you write stuff onto your disk instead into the mountpoints?
[21:18] <xangua> znr: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UnityLaunchersAndDesktopFiles
[21:18] <graps> Hi
[21:18] <znr> I do not use unity though
[21:18] <sebsebseb> graps: hi
[21:18] <graps> What's the best way to update Adobe Flash Player on Mozilla Firefox ?
[21:18] <k1l_> MannyLNJ: what is inside "/media"?
[21:19] <sebsebseb> graps: via the Ubuntu repos
[21:19] <Jordan_U> jgcampbell300_: That depends somewhat on what regular expression engine is in use. For perl you can use 'r\d{9}' .
[21:19] <MannyLNJ> Ben64, and k1l_  I understand. Can you help me with the mount  points and moving files? k1l_  in /media is emanuel and plex
[21:19] <graps> sebsebseb: Is there a command-line method to do this ?
[21:19] <jgcampbell300_> Jordan_U: ok t hanks
[21:20] <Jordan_U> jgcampbell300_: You're welcome.
[21:20] <k1l_> MannyLNJ: are you sure? please run a "ls -al /media"
[21:20] <sebsebseb> graps: just install updates normally for Ubuntu everything and it will do Flash as well as long as you got it installed from repos in the first place
[21:20] <sebsebseb> graps: partner repo I think  to install FFlash from repos
[21:20] <sebsebseb> !flash
[21:20] <MannyLNJ> k1l_,  http://pastebin.com/p6Sx224c
[21:21] <graps> sebsebseb: Okay, I'll try that method out. Thanks !
[21:21] <sebsebseb> graps: you have to enable something to install Flash from repos I Think yes
[21:21] <sebsebseb> graps: after you done that, your all ok
[21:21] <sebsebseb> graps: one other thing though.....
[21:21] <graps> sebsebseb: Yes ?
[21:21] <Jordan_U> znr: Does popcorn time show up in your normal application menus? (For example, can you search for it in Unity's dash?)
[21:22] <sebsebseb> graps: Adobe sucks, they hardly care about Flash for Linux anymore, so it's stuck it seems now on a version that well is a lower number than WIndows etc, that they will support a b ibt longer with security updates
[21:22] <sebsebseb> graps: luckily a lot of sites are starting to go to HTML  5 video for example Youtube, so Flash is starting to be needed a lot less now, but it will still stay around for certain things for years to come
[21:22] <graps> sebsebseb: Yeah, I've noticed that on the Ubuntu Linux browser. It's easier on the Windows Firefox browser
[21:22] <sebsebseb> I was going to use Flash for something said I had a older version
[21:22] <sebsebseb> graps: it's not Linux's fault
[21:23] <znr> I do not use Unity - but no I do not have it in my menus... as I wrote before - it is only unpacked and not 'installed'
[21:23] <graps> sebsebseb: Right, it's supply and demand....Ubuntu's slowly taking a back seat to Mint and/or CentOS
[21:23] <sebsebseb> graps: it's not eaiser on Windows it's the same really or would be, it's just Adobe have mostly dropped support for Linux on Flash.  can also have Flash via Google Chrome in another way, but I don't like Chrome
[21:23] <Ben64> znr: why don't you install it from the repository
[21:23] <k1l_> MannyLNJ: can you show a "df -h"? i somehow dont understand what you tried to mount into /media and how
[21:24] <sebsebseb> graps: Mint is based on Ubuntu and popuolar to, but not as popular,  Cent OS is similar to Redhat and I think mostly for servers  and dsuch
[21:24] <znr> because I hate unity!?
[21:24] <Ben64> znr: i mean the application
[21:24] <sebsebseb> graps: Flash version issues are Adobes fault!
[21:24] <znr> because popcorntime is officially dead
[21:24] <MannyLNJ> k1l_,  do you mean "df -h" or "df -h?"
[21:24] <graps> sebsebseb: Oh, okay, I think ? :)
[21:24] <Ben64> znr: then maybe you shouldn't use it ...
[21:24] <znr> needed to be downloaded from a mirror-site
[21:24] <k1l_> MannyLNJ: df -h
[21:25] <sebsebseb> graps: so blame Adobe if for some reason actasully it doesntg work on Linux suddenly, but WIndows yes since a later versoin,  a FLash thing
[21:25] <graps> sebsebseb: I'm attempting to buy concert tickets on the Ubuntu Firefox browser
[21:25] <jgcampbell300_> Jordan_U: so what if i want to use another expression in same line like /n ... wouldnt i need something like &/n ?
[21:25] <sebsebseb> graps: you could also do this :d
[21:25] <sebsebseb> graps: or try to do this :D
[21:25] <znr> Ben64:: https://i.imgur.com/cRBrr6z.png
[21:25] <sebsebseb> graps: install Wine, and then the Windows Flash version in a Windows Firefox,  if Flash is to old on Linux since Adobe's sillyness
[21:26] <znr> I use the .sh
[21:26] <graps> sebsebseb: Well, I'll give it the college try, and update Flash on Ubuntu Firefox
[21:26] <Ben64> sebsebseb: no
[21:26] <sebsebseb> graps: Flash is going to get old in Linux distros, the version number, Adobe don't really care anymore
[21:26] <Jordan_U> graps: sebsebseb: There is no need to run firefox in wine to get the latest flash in Ubuntu.
[21:26] <MannyLNJ> k1l_, https://paste.ubuntu.com/15820614/ I have  hard drives that are USB attached . I am trying ti mount them to store video and music files
[21:26] <Ben64> can use pepperflash on firefox, or use chrome
[21:26] <k1l_> graps: what is the exact issue?
[21:26] <sebsebseb> Ben64: a work around or possibly for the,  old version number we have now in Linux for Flash,  and certain sites will say will want  a later verison
[21:27] <sebsebseb> Ben64: I woudn't recommend that otherwise
[21:27] <Ben64> still no
[21:27] <Seveas> sebsebseb: uninstall flash, use sites that don't require it :)
[21:27] <graps> Hi k1l_ ! I'm attempting to update Adobe Flash player on the Ubuntu Firefox browser
[21:27] <Ben64> pepperflash or chrome
[21:27] <k1l_> ubuntu ships the latest adobe version for linux.
[21:27] <k1l_> graps: why that? if you have a supported ubuntu, you should have the latest version
[21:27] <sebsebseb> k1l_: it's stuck on a version number now, they only do security updates now
[21:27] <Jordan_U> sebsebseb: Adobe has abandoned flash for linux but google has not. The latest versions of flash are avialable as a pepper API plugin, and there is a shim that allows Firefox to use the pepper API based flash.
[21:28] <sebsebseb> graps: what Jordan_U put
[21:28] <k1l_> sebsebseb: that is what adobe is doing. right. but that is not ubuntu specific. but the websites/players do know that this is the latest version for linux
[21:28] <Jordan_U> k1l_: Adobe does not ship the lastest verson of flash for linux, but google does. See my above comment.
[21:28] <graps> k1l_: Remember the previous issue I had with Ubuntu Firefox ? The Firefox version is currently 45.0.1, and the Adobe Flash player is showing a vulnerability issue with the Flash plug-in
[21:29] <sebsebseb> Jordan_U: how to use the shim then, to get FIrefoxu sing the Chrome Flash?
[21:29] <vok`> Hi, I'm using Ubuntu MATE and asked in the channel but nobody is there. I'm having trouble with HDMI dual monitoring. After awhile the screen goes black, comes back, then shows what looks like perlin noise, and then the whole screen goes magenta. I then have to unplug and replug the HDMI to get it back, but then it all starts again after awhile. It's either a software problem or a problem with the physical HDMI port on my laptop.
[21:29] <vok`> The cable is fine.
[21:29] <k1l_> MannyLNJ: how are you mounting that drives?
[21:30] <sebsebseb> Jordan_U: I was not happy the other day, giving up to just using WIndows,  since  the Flash in Ubuntu was apparnatly to old!
[21:30] <MannyLNJ> k1l_, I t looked like it auto mounted when I attached it
[21:30] <sebsebseb> Jordan_U: the FIrefox Flash
[21:30]  * sebsebseb should have maybe tried to install Chrome, but I don't like Chrome
[21:30] <vok`> Anybody have any thoughts on my problem?
[21:30] <graps> I'm going to see if I can query the current Flash player version
[21:31] <k1l_> MannyLNJ: what system is that? is there running a desktop?
[21:31] <MannyLNJ> k1l_,  I am not home now . I am accost it remotley
[21:31] <Ben64> sebsebseb: or you know, just use pepperflash
[21:31] <sebsebseb> Ben64: how in Firefox?
[21:31] <Ben64> sudo apt-get install pepperflashplugin-nonfree
[21:31] <vok`> Can anyone help me?
[21:32] <k1l_> sebsebseb: sudo apt-get install browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash
[21:32] <Narwhaal> yaourt pepperflash
[21:32] <sebsebseb> !pepperflash
[21:33] <k1l_> Narwhaal: this is not #archlinux :)
[21:33] <Narwhaal> k1l_: I was fixing my own flash problem :)
[21:33] <Narwhaal> forgot the screen was telnet
[21:33] <Jordan_U> sebsebseb: graps: sudo apt install browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash
[21:34] <sebsebseb> graps: oh and that will giev the Chrome Flash in Firefox?
[21:34] <graps> k1l_: sebsebseb: The current Flash player is April 6, 2016. The one I d/l
[21:34] <Narwhaal> btw Jordan_U Unathi wants to say thanks for helping him with the problem he had yesterday
[21:34] <sebsebseb> Jordan_U: for you above
[21:34] <graps> d/l'd from Adobe is dated ...
[21:34] <sebsebseb> Jordan_U: that would give the Chrome FLash in Firefox?
[21:34] <Jordan_U> !info browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash | sebsebseb
[21:34] <sebsebseb> graps: yes that's the whole point the offical Adobe Flash is not that good anymore for Linux
[21:34] <sebsebseb> graps: they only support it with security updates now and nothing else, and the version number it's on will stay like that
[21:35] <graps> April 5
[21:35] <Jordan_U> sebsebseb: NPAPI meaning "works with Firefox".
[21:35] <sebsebseb> graps: in about two years I think as well Adobe will drop support like that for Linux completly as well
[21:35] <jgcampbell300_> hmm can you guys see the problem's here ...perl -pi -e 's/r\d{}9/r\d{9}\n/"SAVEAS TYPE=HTM FOLDER=~/Documents/imacro FILE="r\d{9}/n "WAIT SECONDS={{!VAR1}}"/g test.txt ...
[21:35] <sebsebseb> graps: but we can apparnatly get the GOOGLE Chrome way of doing FLash working with FIrefox, see what Jordan_U put above
[21:35] <graps> k1_: sebsebseb: Once again, current Flash player is dated April 6, 2016, and the u"update" is April 5, 2016
[21:36] <Ntemis> hi
[21:36] <Ntemis> need some help please
[21:36] <Ntemis> with E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[21:37] <sebsebseb> graps: yes but that verison will still have  older version number than say the WIndows one, since they are stuck on a old version number for Linux now, the offical Adobe Flash,  that will get no updates except security for a bit longer now
[21:37] <Jordan_U> Narwhaal: Tell him "you're welcome" :)
[21:37] <sebsebseb> !ask | Ntemis
[21:38] <graps> sebsebseb: Okay, I guess. I can try using Chromium, since I've got that installed too
[21:38] <Narwhaal> Jordan_U: will do :)
[21:38] <sebsebseb> graps: you don't need to
[21:38] <sebsebseb> graps: try peperflash
[21:38] <Narwhaal> (he doesn't have a computer so uses mine to do all his work :3)
[21:38] <sebsebseb> graps: Jordan_U gae a command for getting the more supported Flash working in Firefox
[21:38] <Ntemis> am trying to remove this package openattic-module-http
[21:38] <Ntemis> nothing works
[21:38] <graps> sebsebseb: I'll scroll up to see it
[21:38] <sebsebseb> graps: also Chromium does not have Flash support at all, it's Google Chrome that does out of those two, but not Chromium
[21:39] <sebsebseb> Ntemis: did you install from repos?
[21:40] <Ntemis> no :(
[21:40] <graps> Okay, I have the pepperflash instruction
[21:40] <sebsebseb> Ntemis: what kind of package is that anyway? and where you get from?
[21:40] <sebsebseb> graps: yep try that :) then re load Firefox, and try your Flash thing
[21:41] <Ntemis> sebsebseb: got it from here http://docs.openattic.org/2.0/install_guides/oA_installation.html#base-operating-system-installation
[21:42] <znr> Ben64:: Problem solved. Than you! That link was good...
[21:42] <Umeaboy> Why isn't adb sideload showing in bash when I type adb and pressing Enter?
[21:42] <Umeaboy> sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb is up-to-date according to apt.
[21:43] <k1l_> Umeaboy: "adb devices" shows what?
[21:43] <sebsebseb> Ntemis: hmm make use it's the offical site
[21:43] <sebsebseb> Ntemis: make sure it's the offical site
[21:43] <Ntemis> you mean sure?
[21:43] <Umeaboy> k1l_: It shows my device.
[21:43] <Jordan_U> graps: You can check what version of flash you're running at https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html (Just do *not* follow the instructions on that page for how to install flash, they are wrong).
[21:43] <Umeaboy> That's not the problem.
[21:43] <Umeaboy> I'm trying to sideload the supersu zip.
[21:44] <k1l_> Umeaboy: is the android device in recovery or fastboot?
[21:44] <sebsebseb> graps: yep DO NOT install it directly from the Adobe website yourself
[21:44] <Umeaboy> Currently booted to the system but I CAN boot it both modes.
[21:44] <graps> Jordan_U: Okay. I'm checking that site now
[21:45] <k1l_> Umeaboy: boot to recovery. than it will work
[21:46] <sebsebseb> Umeaboy: so uhmmm you only use Ubuntu now?
[21:46] <Umeaboy> sebsebseb: Nope. Both.
[21:46] <hetii> Hi
[21:47] <sebsebseb> hetii: hi
[21:47] <Umeaboy> k1l_: Wrong!
[21:47] <Umeaboy> I've booted to Recovery.
[21:48] <Umeaboy> I see no adb sideload in the help for adb.
[21:48] <graps> Jordan_U: Flash version is  <IP_ADDRESS>
[21:48] <Umeaboy> Android 6.0.1.
[21:48] <Umeaboy> Ubuntu 15.10.
[21:48] <hetii> Q: Any know bug in uck? I build my custom live cd iso and it boot fine under virtualbox but when use pendrive and try boot real system Syslinux raise Boot error.
[21:48] <Umeaboy> x86_64.
[21:49] <Umeaboy> 4.2.0-35-generic as kernel
[21:49] <znr> "<Umeaboy> I've booted to Recovery." - I will use that phrase the next time someone asks 'How are you' xD
[21:49] <graps> Things are looking good. I have a webpage loaded instead of the Flash player update needed
[21:50] <Jordan_U> graps: Great, that's the latest version available for any OS.
[21:50] <Umeaboy> znr: Good. :)
[21:50] <graps> Jordan_U: So, use the apt install for pepperflash from now on ?
[21:51] <Jordan_U> graps: I don't understand your question.
[21:52] <graps> Jordan_U: If I need to update the "Flash" player, use the command "sudo apt install browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash" ?
[21:52] <Jordan_U> graps: You shouldn't need to update flash player manually again. The package pepperflashplugin-nonfree should keep you up to date automatically.
[21:53] <graps> Jordan_U: Okay, thanks !
[21:53] <Jordan_U> graps: You're welcome :)
[21:54] <graps> I'm off. Have a good afternoon/early evening, all
[21:54] <jgcampbell300_> hmm ok i found what i w ant with r\d{9} so how do i add a new line and some text one it like /r\d{9}/r\d{9}\n"sometext"/?
[21:55] <Jordan_U> jgcampbell300_: Look up back references in perl regular expressions.
[21:56] <jgcampbell300_> Jordan_U: ahh back references ... thanks
[21:56] <Jordan_U> jgcampbell300_: If after looking up back references you still need help try #perl.
[21:56] <Jordan_U> jgcampbell300_: You're welcome.
[22:08] <hetii> re

[22:18] <grifftannen> trying to figure out command to unblank my rasperry pi screen when motion detection is triggered in webcam
[22:18] <grifftannen> tl;dr can't find right command to wake screensaver/blank in lxde
[22:19] <grifftannen> if I was using ubuntu I could use qdbus org.gnome.ScreenSaver /ScreenSaver org.gnome.ScreenSaver.SetActive false
[22:19] <grifftannen> but raspbian runs lxde and won't work obviously
[22:20] <grifftannen> oh
[22:20] <grifftannen> figured it out
[22:20] <grifftannen> ignore me
[22:20] <hetii> sudo isohybrid ubuntu-mate.iso
[22:20] <hetii> isohybrid: Warning: more than 1024 cylinders: 1106
[22:20] <hetii> isohybrid: Not all BIOSes will be able to boot this device
[22:21] <hetii> hmm
[22:21] <hetii> ok what I can use to create just a pendrive image (not hybrid)?
[22:22] <sebsebseb> hetii: uhmm  you just use the default ISO :)
[22:22] <sebsebseb> hetii: you shoudn't really change that in that case, if it's hybrid or theo ther thing I mean
[22:22] <sebsebseb> !usb
[22:23] <hetii> sebsebseb, I use uck to generate iso image, no clue if its hybrid or not,
[22:23] <sebsebseb> hetii: yeah there's no point really editing an ISO for a Linux distro I think, unless making a remaster putting in your own packages, that's what I think anyway
[22:24] <hetii> I do remastering but its not issue now
[22:24] <sebsebseb> hetii: I always think of unetbootin when it comes to putting Ubuntu onto a USB,  but that's for WIndows reallly, might be a Linux version to.  there's also dd for putting ISO's of distros onto a USB, but I can't really give you thep roper command for that
[22:25] <terratom1> pv ubuntu.iso | dd of=/dev/sdb bs=4M
[22:25] <Ben64> warning ... make sure you pick the right device there ^
[22:25] <terratom1> pv ubuntu.iso | dd of=/dev/brain bs=4M
[22:25] <hetii> ok, unetbootin don`t use special magic i suppose, its just a wrapper I suppose.
[22:26] <hetii> terratom1, whats a differ between dd if= of= and by your way with pv and pipe ?
[22:26] <Ben64> pv shows progress
[22:26] <terratom1> hetii: i like to use pv to see status of time till completion of the dd
[22:26] <vervet> hetii: gives you progress while you're running it, otherwise you will see nothing
[22:26] <hetii> ok but I used dd also with bs=1M and that also not fix my issue
[22:27] <hetii> the progress bar is irrelevant now
[22:27] <bekks> hetii: how would bs=... fix an issue?
[22:27] <hetii> I don`t mean it should
[22:28] <hetii> just said what I test already.
[22:29] <hetii> ok but back to the subject. in usb pendrive I should have some bootloader (belive syslinux is not just the one that do the job) who will load kernel and pass control to it
[22:29] <hetii> so with one bootloader I can use/test
[22:31] <hetii> cause there need to be reason why it raise boot error. Moreover if I don`t plan to burn my iso into cd then suppose don`t need to use iso at all,
[22:31] <hetii> it make me crazy,, I always waste a bunch of time on such stuff ...
[22:37] <stststs> how come there's no xenial-netboot in trusty-updates for the installer? I thought ubuntu 14.04.4 came with the 4.4 kernel? apparently I can't use it in the installer....?
[22:37] <stststs> http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/dists/trusty-updates/main/installer-amd64/current/images/
[22:38] <execi> Why's the update manager not letting me to upgrade to 16.04?
[22:39] <execi> Do i need to add repos to sources.list by hand or?
[22:39] <sebsebseb> execi: since it's not even released just yet
[22:39] <execi> well there's builds on the repos. Surely there's a way
[22:39] <Vidmmry> what are packages? what is the idea behind it?
[22:39] <sebsebseb> execi: then I think you might hae to wait a bit anyway if on 14.04 before it bcomes availalbe in the usual way
[22:39] <brainwash> !16.04
[22:40] <sebsebseb> execi: you could upgrade early some how, but  a bit complex from 14.04 I think compared to 15.10
[22:40] <execi> Jesus effing christ with you
[22:40] <sebsebseb> execi: it's released in  about a week anyway
[22:40] <k1l_> execi: changelogs.ubuntu.com server was down due to hardware failure and needs to be setup again
[22:40] <execi> changelogs??
[22:40] <sebsebseb> !language | execi
[22:40] <k1l_> execi: that server is needed to calculate upgrades.
[22:40] <sebsebseb> hmm that factoid has changed I think
[22:41] <execi> Calculate. Got it.
[22:41] <k1l_> Vidmmry: packages are used for programs to be made already working with the ubuntu system.
[22:41] <terratom1> execi: if you really want to use the update manager to install to a release of ubuntu that is not out yet ( but will be soon !) , try channel #ubuntu+1
[22:41] <execi> sebsebseb: i'm not trying to be a dick, but when a question presents itself it calls for an answer and not a derailed remark.
[22:41] <terratom1> how was sebsebseb rude to you?
[22:42] <terratom1> you know this is a help channel right
[22:42] <terratom1> he didnt derail you at all.
[22:42] <execi> I never said he was rude.
[22:42] <terratom1> how was his answer not relevant to your interests ?
[22:42] <squinty> execi, and you should have read the topic so you weren't asking in the wrong channel to start with
[22:42] <terratom1> you could probably manually edit the files in /etc/apt.repos.d/ if you really need to upgrade right now
[22:43] <sebsebseb> yeah squinty has a point execi  it's #ubuntu+1 untill released next week
[22:43] <vanessaTL> how can i check whether my laptop's ethernet port is Gb?
[22:43] <vanessaTL> ...can do Gb
[22:43] <execi> You want me to spell it out for you, terratom1?
[22:43] <terratom1> sure  i guess ?
[22:43] <sebsebseb> !+1
[22:43] <terratom1> what is your problem you are having ?
[22:43] <terratom1> we will solve it
[22:43] <sebsebseb> !16.04 | execi
[22:43] <execi> first impression, "not released yet". Second impression "maybe you have to wait". Third, "i think you could upgrade somehow..."
[22:43] <Vidmmry> k1l_: so, for example, someone compiles Gimp on his machine, makes package from those files, and uploads it to Ubuntu?
[22:43] <execi> Thanks sebsebseb can you do that one more time?
[22:44] <k1l_> Vidmmry: that is what the "maintainers" do. yes.
[22:44] <terratom1> replace every mention of 'trusty' with 'xenial' in /etc/apt/sources.list , then apt-get update && apt-get upgrade , if you really need to upgrade to xenial right now
[22:44] <terratom1> there is a channel for xenial ( #ubuntu+1 )
[22:45] <sebsebseb> terratom1: yep and he's gone now :)
[22:45] <terratom1> oh ok
[22:45] <terratom1> sorry i have /parts filtered
[22:45] <terratom1> maybe he's having a bad day
[22:45] <sebsebseb> terratom1: thanks for taking mhy de fence in a way I guess though h eh :d
[22:45] <sebsebseb> some people aren't really worth trying to help that much
[22:45] <terratom1> it is weird when people get upset when their question in a freenode channel is not answered in 5 seconds
[22:46] <Vidmmry> k1l_: why this package that maintainer creates works on all machines?
[22:46] <sebsebseb> terratom1: not really, it's been like that for many years now, many many many years, in this channel
[22:46] <Humorousone> hello
[22:46] <sebsebseb> Humorousone: hi
[22:46] <k1l_> Vidmmry: because the maintainer made sure that all the depencies for "gimp" to run properly are fulfilled. that is the sense behind the packagesystem.
[22:47] <Humorousone> what partitions does ubuntu have by default, after install?
[22:47] <Humorousone> does it have a recovery partition?
[22:47] <sebsebseb> Humorousone: no recovery pariton and that's not needed since not WIndows
[22:47] <sebsebseb> Humorousone: you get / by default a bit like C in WIndows if you like
[22:47] <k1l_> Vidmmry: so if gimp needs program1 and program2 installed too, they are marked to be installed to. so the packagesystem will download them form the repo servers, too.
[22:47] <sebsebseb> Humorousone: and probably some s wap space to, and that's it
[22:47] <Humorousone> sebsebseb: I'm trying to remove ubuntu from this particular laptop. It's on a dual boot with windows 10
[22:48] <Humorousone> sebsebseb: Trying to work out which partitions are windows, and which aren't
[22:48] <sebsebseb> Humorousone: a ww remove why? and removing is quite easy
[22:48] <k1l_> Vidmmry: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/package-management.html
[22:48] <Vidmmry> k1l_: thank you
[22:49] <sebsebseb> Humorousone: there will be a Ext4 /  that's Ubuntu, and a tiny swap space,  but yeah seriously removing why?
[22:49] <Humorousone> sebsebseb: This laptop doesn't seem to like ubuntu very much
[22:49] <sebsebseb> Humorousone: also if you delete those, there will still possibly be a bit of Grub left on there
[22:49] <Eiam> What creates an "Aptfile" ? I'm trying to debug some buildpack and its trying to read from an Aptfile, but I cannot find anything that creates it. I found https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AptFile, but that appears to be something else. the apt-howto doesn't mention such a file either
[22:49] <sebsebseb> Humorousone: doesn't seem to like Ubuntu why?
[22:50] <Humorousone> sebsebseb: Well the laptop has some kind of issue where it experiences PCI errors
[22:50] <sebsebseb> Humorousone: what do you mean by that?
[22:50] <Humorousone> sebsebseb: windows seems to handle these a little better than ubuntu
[22:50] <Humorousone> sebsebseb: Ubuntu = flash onscreen
[22:50] <Humorousone> sebsebseb: Windows = the occasional beep and error in log
[22:50] <sebsebseb> Ubuntu flashes when booted up?
[22:51] <sebsebseb> Humorousone: maybe you got hardware issues, WIndows ins't meant to beep or put errors in the log
[22:51] <Humorousone> the screen just flashes at random intervals
[22:51] <Humorousone> I can give a long story on that :P
[22:51] <sebsebseb> Humorousone: and Ubuntu or most other distros,s hould work quite nicely on y9our computer
[22:51] <Humorousone> Idk if this is the right chanel for it though
[22:51] <k1l_> Eiam: maybe that is better suited in #ubuntu-packaging since i guess you talk about package building
[22:51] <sebsebseb> Humorousone: if you got hardware issues, regardldess of the software that's run the OS etc, there will be issues
[22:52] <Humorousone> sebsebseb: I'll give you a link to the HP forums topic I created for it
[22:52] <sebsebseb> Humorousone: yeah ok
[22:52] <Humorousone> sebsebseb: It's just super strange. I had this laptop replaced for the same model, and it has the same issue
[22:52] <sebsebseb> Humorousone: and may lap top is a newer one from last year and HP, and yep it works well with Ubuntu
[22:52] <Humorousone> sebsebseb: I got this one this christmas
[22:52] <sebsebseb> Humorousone: I had a  message about pososibly over heating though which was annoying, but that was a Windows thing!
[22:53] <sebsebseb> Humorousone: when it would lose all power
[22:53] <sebsebseb> and back on again and such
[22:53] <sebsebseb> Humorousone: apparnatly HP don't actsaully build lap tops that well, going by what someone said to me last year
[22:53] <sebsebseb> but then sell tehm for a lot anyway hmm
[22:54] <Humorousone> https://i.gyazo.com/602a30a840472001283d3c1fd836a5ec.png << current partitions
[22:54] <sebsebseb> Humorousone: oh lost you there?
[22:54] <Humorousone> The only thing I've deleted is the ubuntu partition itself
[22:54] <Humorousone> sebsebseb: hmm?
[22:54] <sebsebseb> oh nevermind I was scrolled up to much
[22:55] <sebsebseb> Humorousone: yes that looks like only Windows on there now
[22:55] <nuno_nunes> hi goodnight for all
[22:55] <nuno_nunes> :)
[22:55] <sebsebseb> Humorousone: however  when it boots up it still says something about Ubuntu yeah?
[22:55] <sebsebseb> Humorousone: the boot loader Grub
[22:56] <Humorousone> sebsebseb: Yep, grub is still avaliable as a boot option
[22:56] <sebsebseb> Humorousone: yep but Grub won't work properly, since you deleted the rest of it from the Ubuntu partiion that you deleted
[22:56] <sebsebseb> Humorousone: might be able to boot up WINDOWS that way maybe though
[22:56] <sebsebseb> but sure that's it otherweise
[22:56] <sebsebseb> Ubuntu is gone
[22:56] <sebsebseb> and completly
[22:57] <sebsebseb> Humorousone: the tiny bit of Grub that works with your UEFI is seperate from the UBuntu install, that's what left on there
[22:57] <squinty> Humorousone,  ask in windows channel how to get into recovery mode....windows should remove grub all together via there
[22:57] <Humorousone> squinty: Recovery mode vs recovery disk?
[22:57] <Humorousone> I've already created one, couldn't find an option when I booted to a recovery disk
[22:58] <sebsebseb> Humorousone: then switch it back to the WIndows boot manager I guess as well, and yep,  but that's a shame Ubuntu got removed,  maybe you should try out some other distro on there to, not Ubuntu based, of some sort, to see if that works better at elast, or even the Ubuntu 16.04 when released next week
[22:58] <squinty> Humorousone,  as said   a windows channel is more appropriate :)
[22:58] <Humorousone> squinty: I'm in that channel too ;)
[22:59] <Humorousone> squinty: Just making sure I'm not leaving anything ubuntu behind
[22:59] <Humorousone> I'll probably reinstall it during the summer after my A level exams
[22:59] <Humorousone> but in the meantime I don't have the energy to troubleshoot this kind of thing extensively
[22:59] <Humorousone> lol
[22:59] <sebsebseb> Humorousone: A Levels oh a young one,  ok that explains the lap top for Christmas to I guess h eh ( I am also from UK )
[23:00] <Humorousone> sebsebseb: Yep, got it to last me through uni.... It's not had a particularly good start
[23:00] <sebsebseb> Humorousone: Linux should wlork nicely on there
[23:00] <sebsebseb> Humorousone: where's your link to the hp issues?
[23:00] <sebsebseb> the fourm?
[23:00] <Humorousone> > h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Video-Display-and-Touch/Pavilion-15-ab254sa-Random-beeping-sound-Intel-graphics/m-p/5485146
[23:01] <sebsebseb> Humorousone: the one thing that might have a few issues with is the UEFI  but actsaully that's mostly sorted and working now so eh,  disable secure boot and yep
[23:01] <Humorousone> These issues are from windows though, I haven't updated the thread for the ubuntu problems
[23:02] <sebsebseb> Humorousone: Yes I think it has actsaul hardware issues of some sort, hence the beep, and even having issues with WIndows
[23:03] <Humorousone> sebsebseb: Reckon it's a bad batch of laptops then? this is a replacement laptop of one with exactly the same issues...
[23:03] <sebsebseb> Humorousone: and mine had a mentioned over heating issue thing apparnatly, get a screen, well with WIndows I did, oh aren't HP great  at sending out properly working lap tops ( s ar casm )
[23:03] <Humorousone> I think it's worth noting
[23:04] <Humorousone> ubuntu was great for the week I used it
[23:04] <Humorousone> sooo fast
[23:04] <sebsebseb> Humorousone: yep they could have sent out a lap top with the same hardware fault
[23:04] <Humorousone> Not so great for newbies though lol
[23:04] <Humorousone> sebsebseb: Like it was an exchange from a different store, but for the same model laptop
[23:04] <sebsebseb> Humorousone: for newbies?  nah Ubuntu or most distros for hte past few years are quite easy to learn :)
[23:05] <sebsebseb> Humorousone: you should try and remove ubuntu off it properlly though if you want to get HP support
[23:05] <sebsebseb> Humorousone: I remember once  some guy from HP on the phone when I mentioend LInux was a bit like,  uhmmm  if you put it back to factory mode and send it back to us then yeah should be ok
[23:05] <sebsebseb> Humorousone: HP won't support LInux at all I mean officaly so
[23:06] <bekks> Which is not true at all.
[23:06] <sebsebseb> not for desktop computers, they pretend to care though here and there when it comes to the enterprise, but that's a differnet story
[23:06] <bekks> HP ships linux drivers for most systems.
[23:06] <sebsebseb> bekks: I meant for the desktop
[23:06] <Humorousone> sebsebseb: Apparently HP support will work on your laptop if they have access to windows
[23:06] <sebsebseb> they recommend WIndows blah de blah
[23:06] <Humorousone> their diagnostic stuff works with windows
[23:06] <sebsebseb> Humorousone: yep, but they won't do something with Linux
[23:08] <Humorousone> hmm
[23:08] <Humorousone> alright
[23:08] <Humorousone> I've got to go
[23:09] <Humorousone> For some reason my VPN isn't on freenode's blacklist
[23:09] <Humorousone> which is odd
[23:09] <Humorousone> my other ip was
[23:09] <Humorousone> anyway
[23:09] <Humorousone> night
[23:09] <Humorousone> <3
[23:12] <Sorch> ;o
[23:13] <leo_86> sorry can i ask someone how can i join a server?
[23:15] <argentininanlost> hello all, i have a problem!! i cant configure lightdm to use correct resolution with nvidia drivers!!
[23:16] <vanessaTL> i'm gonna connect my linux laptop with windows10 desktop with ethernet cable. i was advised to manually set up IP addresses. how do i do that?
[23:16] <pulsar12> why would pppd process try to resolve name "ppp0" while a client is connecting?
[23:17] <hetii> re
[23:17] <hetii> ok based on this thread: https://web.archive.org/web/20140327085331/https://tails.boum.org/doc/first_steps/installation/manual/linux/index.en.html
[23:18] <hetii> I was able to boot my iso image from usb pendrive
[23:18] <hetii> but ...
[23:18] <sebsebseb> vanessaTL: what was your issue?
[23:18] <k1l_> hetii: what iso is it?
[23:19] <hetii> when I use isobybrid and push it via dd into pendrive, then gparted report that I have there recursive partition table, so I cannot for eg create second partition for persistent data
[23:20] <hetii> k1l_, its ubuntu-mate that I will remaster at the end
[23:20] <Ben64> hetii: use unetbootin instead
[23:21] <hetii> Ben64, when I use it I end with Boot error
[23:21] <hetii> from syslinux
[23:21] <Ben64> are you sure you have a good copy
[23:21] <k1l_> there was a syslinux version change recently. and pendrivelinux and such tolls might not work anymore
[23:22] <hetii> Ben64, I build that iso and test it via virtualbox and there all is fine.
[23:22] <hetii> k1l_, yep, something is wrong there
[23:22] <Ben64> you built the iso? seems like that might be a problem
[23:23] <hetii> gosh ...
[23:24] <N3X15> Out of curiosity, is it okay to just nuke the sources.list.d entry that a PPA adds and then apt-get update, or is ppa-purge required?
[23:24] <k1l_> N3X15: ppa-purge is the better way
[23:25] <N3X15> k1l_, okay.  I'll do that, then.
[23:25] <k1l_> N3X15: since just removing the ppa entry will keep the ppa-pacakge in the system still. and that might block the original package to be installed or updated original packages to be installed
[23:28] <rhorse_> Hi, I have another distro on this hdd with it's version of grub installed into the MBR. If I run the grub2-install command from within ubuntu, will that satifactorily install OVER it into the MBR? I want to remove that other distro from the drive.
[23:29] <Ben64> rhorse_: what is your goal? do you have ubuntu installed?
[23:30] <pulsar12> rhorse_, it should. double check on which device you want to install
[23:30] <rhorse_> yes, Ben64, Ubuntu was installed first, and the other distro overwrote it's grub when it was installed.
[23:30] <Ben64> then yeah that should work
[23:31] <rhorse_> OK, I'll keep my fingers crossed. thanks!
[23:33] <pulsar12> anyone know why would pppd process try to resolve name "ppp0" while a client is connecting? this behavior blaffs me :<
[23:34] <sebsebseb> rhorse_: which other distro?
[23:34] <sebsebseb> rhorse_: and that's just on a old BIOS system yeah, not UEFI ??
[23:52] <rhorse_> sebsebseb: yea, an old bios, not uefi
[23:54] <sebsebseb> rhorse_: whatever distro you put on last if you intsall Grub
[23:55] <sebsebseb> rhorse_: will take over that bit of the MBR yes
[23:55] <sebsebseb> rhorse_: but if you want it to be UBuntu's but taken over by another dsitro, I think there's a way to re install
[23:55] <sebsebseb> !grub
[23:55] <sebsebseb> rhorse_: plus the toher Grub may not update uqite properly  by the other distro


[08:55] <MooDoo> morning all
[09:28] <NRWlion> good morning from germany
[09:29] <MooDoo> :)
[09:33] <NRWlion> hi MooDoo guess i havent seen you yet ;) so "hi, i am the NRWlion from germany" ;)
[09:34] <MooDoo> NRWlion: hello :) i'm MooDoo from the UK :)  just found out about this channel from pleia2, i was interested to see how UWN works :)
[09:36] <NRWlion> MooDoo: ;) ok if you have questions just shoot. i am a "newbie" at the team aswell but may be able to answer one or two questions of yours
[09:38] <MooDoo> thank :)
[09:38] <MooDoo> thank you
[09:42] <NRWlion> hi jono
[10:17] <jono> hey NRWlion
[10:18] <NRWlion> jono: sorry hadn't in mind to disturb you in your business ;)
[10:18] <jono> NRWlion, np
[15:14] <holstein> welcome MooDoo
[15:15] <MooDoo> holstein: thank you :)
[15:15] <holstein> its usually pretty quiet here til crunch time (the weekend)
[15:15] <MooDoo> hehe
[15:16] <holstein> MooDoo: if you are interested in helping out, writing summaries is an easy way to get envolved
[15:16] <MooDoo> ok i'll bear that in mind :)  i'm just lurking at the moment, just seeing what happens, but i'm certainly interested :)
[15:16] <MooDoo> darn that pleia2 for twisting my arm ;)
[15:17] <holstein> hehe
[16:11] <NRWlion> hi
[17:01] <pleia2> if anyone is looking for things to do, if you come across any ubuntu news around the internets you can add it to here: https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AdKZelXU8Y2LZGNrcHRkYmhfODlkODNxNnRnZA&hl=en
[17:02] <pleia2> we don't have a problem filling up the planet, launchpad or general news, but "in the press" and "in the blogosphere" end up being pretty sparse
[17:03] <MooDoo> pleia2: so what do blog posts need to contain...ubuntu in general?
[17:05] <pleia2> MooDoo: yeah, ubuntu-related is our primary criteria
[17:06] <pleia2> we don't like including things like "$foo is now a PPA!" because PPAs aren't always well-supported, same with hacky how-tos
[17:06] <MooDoo> http://paulmellors.blogspot.com/2011/06/loco-council-meeting.html
[17:06] <MooDoo> that's my blog about the loco meet, it's just a summary, but that kind of thing?
[17:06] <pleia2> but reviews of ubuntu from 3rd party sites, blog posts from non ubuntu-members
[17:06] <pleia2> yeah, that's great for "in the blogosphere"!

[20:16] <pleia2> nhandler: just a heads up - I'm going to shoot for another UWN this weekend, can you handle releasing on monday again?
[20:17] <pleia2> I'm hoping you'll start finding release shortcuts (or ways we can cut down the effort) if you do it a few times, the release checklist is kind of insane and I imagine it takes over an hour
[20:18] <NRWlion> hi pleia2
[20:19] <pleia2> hi NRWlion
