[19:10] <cash> i removed the drive and formatted it, then reinstalled it in my macbook with ubuntu 16.04 as an EFI install.  This has improved the boot time of the OS and im letting my employees use the computer to see if they can crash it :)
[19:11] <EriC^^> the hdd shouldn't affect the booting of the live usb
[19:12] <cash> its something with the mac system thats doing it in conjunction with the hdd
[19:12] <cash> but again, this was with a bios install on a macbook (legacy bios).  My curent install as of yesterday afternoon is an EFI install
[19:16] <atralheaven> what's the original name of ubuntu backup utility?
[19:17] <energizer> I have a fresh install of 16.04 on a desktop. I can't resume after suspend; the screen is just black, and trying to access it remotely doesnt work (which rules out it being resumed but not displaying correctly).
[19:17] <cash> energizer what system?  what graphics card?
[19:17] <cash> sounds like a proprietary graphics issue
[19:18] <OerHeks> energizer, switching ctrl alt f2 <> and back ctrl alt f7, does it activate the gui again?

[19:22] <atralheaven> ubottu: oh I didn't know! very wise bot!
[19:24] <energizer1> no luck there
[19:24] <energizer1> had to reboot
[19:24] <energizer1> cash: is there additional information that could be diagnostic
[19:24] <OerHeks> energizer1, oke, was worth a try, as i have seen some have benefit by that, not a real fix though
[19:25] <OerHeks> what driver are you using ? lspci -k | egrep -i 'vga|in use' | grep -i vga -A 1
[19:27] <energizer> lspci -k | egrep -i 'vga|in use' | grep -i vga -A 1

[19:27] <energizer> Kernel driver in use: nvidia
[19:30] <energizer> is this notable? tail: cannot open '/var/log/pm-suspend.log' for reading: No such file or directory
[19:30] <Bashing-om> energizer: http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/106780/en-us ? That the driver you have installed as suggested by nVidia ?
[19:32] <energizer> Bashing-om: how to tell which is the right driver for me
[19:34] <Bashing-om> energizer: There is no 100% way to know .. way too many hardware configurations . Just try and see . To see what driver is installed ' dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia ' .
[19:36] <energizer> ok i found this ppa which recommends nvidia 367, so i'll giva that a shot
[19:36] <energizer> dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia
[19:36] <energizer> oops, i mean https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
[19:36] <ioria> energizer, have you tried to suspend from command line ?
[19:37] <maxcell_> energizer, 367 is the best driver for the 970, better than the 370 (wich is in beta actually, dont install 370 it sucks)
[19:38] <alb-ot> hello..?
[19:39] <alb-ot> does anyone know how could i set up "smart corners" with my ubuntu 14.04? for example showing all windows if i move the cursor to top right etc..
[19:39] <energizer1> alb-ot: compiz config settings manager
[19:41] <alb-ot> energizer1, i don't use compiz, should i install it?
[19:41] <energizer1> alb-ot: i really like it myself
[19:41] <daniela_perez> Hi all
[19:42] <ioria> alb-ot, unity ?
[19:42] <energizer1> Ok im using nvidia 367
[19:42] <alb-ot> ioria, umm.. how do i check if i have unity or something else?
[19:43] <daniela_perez> Please, I would like to hide the url of a website : I want  www.example.com to show anytime, regardless which folder the user is browsing by (he shouldnt see www.example.com/some/folder/path but just www.example)
[19:43] <ioria> alb-ot, well, you should know it ... :þ
[19:43] <ubuntu653> hello, i am trying to turn on my wireless divre on an msi click bios
[19:43] <daniela_perez> Please in Apache, help me guys
[19:43] <ioria> alb-ot, if you press winKey, dash opening ?
[19:43] <alb-ot> ioria, what if i'm a newby, i just installed ubuntu some time ago
[19:43] <energizer1> When I press supend now, it says some devices failed to suspend, or early wake event detected
[19:43] <ubuntu653> hello some help?
[19:43] <alb-ot> ioria, yes i think is a dash..
[19:44] <ioria> alb-ot, if you installed Ubuntu, you have Unity
[19:44] <alb-ot> ioria, yes i have ubuntu
[19:44] <ioria> alb-ot, so install unity-tweak-tools
[19:44] <SomethisGER> alb-ot: try this http://askubuntu.com/questions/35140/which-version-of-unity-am-i-running
[19:44] <ioria> !info unity-tweak-tools
[19:44] <ioria> !info unity-tweak-tool
[19:44] <energizer1> ehh just get compiz dude, its nice.
[19:44] <ioria> alb-ot,  install unity-tweak-tool and go in hotcorners
[19:45] <energizer1> or that
[19:45] <alb-ot> umm i have some memory in my mind that time ago i used hot corners but after i reboot i lose them and i had to open every time the program
[19:45] <ubuntu653> can someone help me?
[19:45] <SomethisGER> alb-ot: also, don't use a comma after the username but a ":"
[19:45] <alb-ot> do you get what i mean?
[19:45] <energizer1> !ask |ubuntu653
[19:45] <tomreyn> !patience | ubuntu653
[19:45] <ioria> alb-ot,  where you see 'disabled' (right corner) you set 'Spread all windows'
[19:45] <alb-ot> SomethisGER: so after i use tab to autofill the name, i have to delete the comma and put :?? so annoying
[19:46] <alb-ot> SomethisGER: but i'll try it..
[19:46] <SomethisGER> alb-ot: it places a ":" with me. funny :-)
[19:46] <ubuntu653> how to turn on the wireless driver in a msi click BIOS?
[19:46] <alb-ot> SomethisGER, i'm using HexChat, maybe this is why?
[19:46] <alb-ot> i'm running unity 7.2.6
[19:47] <alb-ot> ioria: so i'll try unity tweak tool
[19:47] <ioria> alb-ot,  yes
[19:47] <SomethisGER> alb-ot: ah, ok. I'm using irssi ... mhmm
[19:47] <tomreyn> daniela_perez: this question is a bit too webserver specific to be a good fit for this channel. you could try in #httpd or #ubuntu-server, though.
[19:47] <alb-ot> ioria, should i use apt-get install unity-tweak-tools ?
[19:47] <ioria> alb-ot,  yes
[19:48] <energizer1> tool, not tools
[19:48] <ioria> alb-ot,  tool, not tools
[19:48] <SomethisGER> alb-ot: it looks really good on my screen when you use ":". I can see that you are talking to me. I don't see that with the ",". But it's not that important, just a suggestion.
[19:48] <alb-ot> yes, sorry
[19:48] <alb-ot> SomethisGER: i like the : too, i guess is some customization of the irc program
[19:48] <Flannel> SomethisGER: Oh, you should fix your client then.  Most clients don't care about specific punctuation :)
[19:49] <alb-ot> oh wow i had already unity tweak tool
[19:49] <alb-ot> it's been months since i use ubuntu xD
[19:49] <tomreyn> ubuntu653: a driver refers to an operating system (such as ubuntu linux). the BIOS does not know the concept of drivers, but may be able to disable / enable single or groups of devices. is this what you are trying to do?
[19:50] <alb-ot> hmm it doesn't seem working
[19:50] <tomreyn> ubuntu653: can you sum up what you are trying to do and why, please?
[19:50] <ioria> alb-ot,  in dash type unity tweak
[19:51] <alb-ot> ioria, i'm using it, i had the "spread all windows" already active, but if i try it, it doesn't work
[19:51] <Edward_> hi
[19:51] <ioria> alb-ot,  odd
[19:51] <alb-ot> ioria, i have to disable it and enable it again and it works
[19:51] <daniela_perez> tomreyn: Well, its rather Apache
[19:51] <ioria> alb-ot,  good
[19:51] <alb-ot> ioria, but if i remember well if i reboot my laptop it stops to work again
[19:51] <SomethisGER> Flannel: Thanks. It's the only decent terminalbased one I could find, though :-)
[19:51] <ioria> alb-ot,  odd again
[19:51] <daniela_perez> When entering httpd, I am told invite_only
[19:52] <alb-ot> ioria, and i must do the same thing every time, disable and enable to make it work
[19:52] <alb-ot> ioria, let me try.. maybe i remember wrong
[19:52] <tomreyn> daniela_perez: "apache" is more of a brand, or series. "apache httpd" is the webserver, its main channel is #httpd
[19:52] <ioria> alb-ot,  you mean it's not keeping the setting ?
[19:52] <alb-ot> ioria, it keeps the setting but after a reboot it seems it doesn't start
[19:53] <Flannel> SomethisGER: irssi highlights regardless of character for me.
[19:53] <alb-ot> ioria, i googled it and it seems that some people had this issue on the ubuntu forum
[19:53] <ioria> alb-ot,  uname -r ?
[19:53] <alb-ot> ioria, what does that mean?
[19:53] <tomreyn> daniela_perez: you may need to register your nickname with nickserv to talk there
[19:53] <SomethisGER> Flannel, on this one, too?
[19:53] <ioria> alb-ot,  your kernel version
[19:53] <SomethisGER> Flannel: <-- read back :-9
[19:53] <Flannel> SomethisGER: yes.  And SomethisGER this one too.
[19:54] <Flannel> er, that didn't work.
[19:54] <tomreyn> !register | daniela_perez
[19:54] <alb-ot> ioria, 3.19.0-51-generic
[19:54] <Flannel> It highlights anywhere on the line, SomethisGER.
[19:54] <ioria> alb-ot,  cat /etc/issue
[19:54] <SomethisGER> Flannel: :-) oh no, my client is outdated!!
[19:54] <Flannel> SomethisGER: Or just less than optimally configured.
[19:54] <alb-ot> ioria, Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS \n \l
[19:55] <SomethisGER> Flannel: standard settings ... mhmm, maybe it's zsh-shell or tmux
[19:55] <ioria> alb-ot,  idk why it's not keeping the setting, but i'am afraid you need to upgrade
[19:55] <Flannel> SomethisGER: No, not at all.  You should turn on hilight_nick_matches_everywhere if it's off.
[19:56] <Flannel> SomethisGER: However, I'm pretty sure the default hilighting will do it if it's the beginning of a line, regardless of punctuation.  So maybe your hilight string has the punctuation in it, instead of just your nick.
[19:56] <ioria> alb-ot,  the vivid kernel on trusty (and xorg) it's no more supported
[19:56] <alb-ot> brb telephone
[19:58] <ioria> alb-ot,  please, read this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack
[19:59] <SomethisGER> Flannel: Trying to figure out how to set that variable ...
[19:59] <energizer> Bashing-om: OerHeks: cash: ok i think the problem is solved, with this workaround https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/522998/comments/61
[20:00] <Flannel> SomethisGER: `/set variable_name_thing value` in irssi (usually smart to go to your server window, just in case)
[20:00] <SomethisGER> SomethisGER: testing :-)
[20:00] <ubuntu653> im trying to find know if i have an wireless driver since i built my first pc. so i want to know where to enable my wireless driver in BIOS msi
[20:00] <SomethisGER> SomethisGER, testing :-))
[20:00] <Flannel> SomethisGER: And then /save will save your changes to your config file
[20:00] <alb-ot> back
[20:00] <Flannel> SomethisGER You can't usually hilight yourself.
[20:00] <ioria> alb-ot,  please, read this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack
[20:00] <SomethisGER> Flannel: Thanks, that worked ;)
[20:00] <alb-ot> ioria, i have ubuntu in dual boot with windows, i hope that upgrading the kernel i don't make any change in the grub or my hardisk
[20:01] <SomethisGER> Flannel: Oh, it actually does for me
[20:01] <ioria> alb-ot,  i had no issue, but it's a risk
[20:01] <SomethisGER> Flannel: love my irssi client, here. nothing like a shell ...
[20:01] <gollum> hi
[20:02] <tomreyn> ubuntu653: usually, the BIOS will just pass access to the wireless device on to the operating system via the PCI bus or USB. you can use the 'lspci' and 'lcusb' commands on linux to list detected devices.
[20:02] <Bashing-om> energizer: Which of the 2 worked out for you ?
[20:02] <alb-ot> ioria, what should i upgrade?
[20:02] <tomreyn> ubuntulog: sorry, i had a typo there. not 'lcusb' but 'lsusb'.
[20:03] <ioria> alb-ot,  kernel and xorg : sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-lts-xenial xserver-xorg-core-lts-xenial xserver-xorg-lts-xenial xserver-xorg-video-all-lts-xenial xserver-xorg-input-all-lts-xenial libwayland-egl1-mesa-lts-xenial
[20:03] <alb-ot> ioria, i had this issue before 16.04 was released
[20:03] <BadAtProgramming> is there a good foss flash ?
[20:04] <alb-ot> ioria, i think this is the problem https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/1305438
[20:05] <tomreyn> BadAtProgramming: do you mean 'flash' as in the proprietary software for animated web content? or 'flash' as in changing a hardware devices' firmware?
[20:05] <BadAtProgramming> tomreyn, as in the proprietary format by adobe
[20:05] <ioria> alb-ot,  i see
[20:05] <alb-ot> i am so unlucky with ubuntu, i remember i have so bad memories with it
[20:06] <ioria> alb-ot,  try to reboot and check then... upgrade can wait
[20:06] <alb-ot> ioria, sure, let me see
[20:06] <alb-ot> brb
[20:06] <ioria> alb-ot,  but please, read the link  i posted
[20:06] <tomreyn> BadAtProgramming: there is no complete replacement at this time. there are some partial replacements, some of which as FOSS. also, many websites which used to depend on adobe flash no longer do so nowadays.
[20:07] <BadAtProgramming> i've gone a year without flash
[20:07] <BadAtProgramming> What are the names of the partial replacements
[20:07] <tomreyn> !flash | BadAtProgramming
[20:07] <tomreyn> !Gnash | BadAtProgramming

[20:08] <tomreyn> BadAtProgramming: https://mozilla.github.io/shumway/

[20:10] <tomreyn> BadAtProgramming: https://lightspark.github.io/
[20:10] <energizer> Bashing-om: i did (1) and (2)
[20:12] <DS_antraz> l]
[20:12] <alb-ot> ioria, ok it doesn't work after the reboot, i have to open tweak tool, disable and enable the feature, then it works again
[20:12] <ioria> alb-ot,  so you are affected by the bug
[20:12] <ioria> alb-ot,  video driver in use ?
[20:13] <alb-ot> and now that i notice even the setting of the desktop "keep aligned" doesn't work XD, it's enabled but the folders aren't aligned, i just turned it off and on again
[20:13] <alb-ot> and it works.. lol
[20:13] <alb-ot> how to check the video driver? my laptop has 2 video boards.. i think
[20:13] <ioria> alb-ot,  sudo lshw -C Video | grep driver
[20:14] <alb-ot> configuration: driver=i915 latency=0
[20:15] <ioria> alb-ot,  install pastebinit   and   sudo lshw -C Video  | pastebinit
[20:16] <GNUUB> Hi Everyone
[20:16] <GNUUB> :)
[20:17] <alb-ot> ioria, it seems i have already pastebinit.. let me see..
[20:17] <alb-ot> ioria, http://paste.ubuntu.com/23199769/
[20:18] <ioria> alb-ot,  you have only one video card enabled... Intel are you on an optimus laptop ( nvidia/intel) ?
[20:18] <alb-ot> ioria, i think is ati/intel
[20:19] <ioria> alb-ot,  well , ati it's not enabled .... try lspci | grep VGA
[20:19] <alb-ot> http://paste.ubuntu.com/23199780/
[20:20] <ioria> alb-ot,  ok, so maybe disabled in bios '
[20:20] <ioria> ?
[20:20] <alb-ot> ioria, i can switch it in Windows 7
[20:21] <alb-ot> ioria, i couldn't switch if it was disabled in bios..
[20:21] <ioria> alb-ot,  right
[20:22] <alb-ot> i just think that this laptop it only works well with windows...
[20:22] <Bashing-om> alb-ot: ioria "Radeon HD 4330/4350/4550]" such that FGLRX does not support this card . Is switcheroo an option ? . What release is this ?
[20:22] <ioria> Bashing-om, 14.04 with vivid kernel
[20:22] <dirty_pages_joe> Bashing-om, hey!
[20:23] <alb-ot> oh a week and my laptop is 6 years old
[20:23] <ioria> alb-ot,  lspci -k | grep VGA -A 3
[20:23] <dirty_pages_joe> Bashing-om, rang is the verb, not a slang :)
[20:23] <dirty_pages_joe> lol
[20:24] <alb-ot> ioria, http://paste.ubuntu.com/23199794/
[20:25] <ioria> alb-ot,  ok, it's radeon loaded ad driver... as i read in your link , someone solved the hotcorner issue installing the proprietary driver
[20:26] <alb-ot> wow someone solved
[20:26] <alb-ot> ioria, what should i look for?
[20:26] <ioria> alb-ot,  #18
[20:26] <alb-ot> ioria, what does that mean?
[20:27] <ioria> alb-ot, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/1305438       comment  #18
[20:27] <ioria> alb-ot, "I changed my drivers from the open source (xserver-xorg-video-ati) to the propietary driver (fglrx-updates), and the hot corners seem to work everytime I reboot. "
[20:27] <alb-ot> ioria, thanks.. but how do i do that change?
[20:28] <alb-ot> sorry, i'm a newby >.<
[20:28] <ioria> !info fglrx-updates trusty
[20:29] <alb-ot> ioria so i have to do sudo apt-get fglrx-updates
[20:29] <alb-ot> ?
[20:29] <ioria> alb-ot,  in theory.... but better keep looking for alternatives
[20:30] <ioria> alb-ot,  sudo apt-get install ... btw
[20:30] <alb-ot> ioria, should i try it? ._.
[20:31] <alb-ot> with "trusty" too at the end?
[20:31] <ioria> alb-ot,  as i said better looking for alternative...
[20:32] <alb-ot> ioria, actually i could just hope that someone like you helps me, but i can't find any decent alternative and you helped me enough
[20:33] <ioria> alb-ot,  video driver can lead you to a blank screen, in this case just open a console (ctrl+alt+f1) and sudo apt-get purge fglrx*
[20:33] <alb-ot> ioria, haha wow.. that would be so bad ._.
[20:33] <alb-ot> ioria, what that * is for?
[20:33] <ioria> alb-ot, it removes all the fglrx related packages
[20:34] <alb-ot> ioria, what about the "trusty" in the name.. "sudo apt-get install fglrx-updates trusty"?
[20:34] <ioria> alb-ot, nope... just sudo apt-get install fglrx-updates
[20:35] <alb-ot> ioria, can i do it?
[20:35] <ioria> alb-ot, sure you can ....
[20:35] <ioria> alb-ot, but be warned
[20:36] <ioria> alb-ot, better to do it from Additional Drivers
[20:37] <ioria> alb-ot, go in Dash and type Additional Drivers
[20:37] <alb-ot> ioria, it can't find any driver
[20:37] <alb-ot> yes, i'm already there
[20:37] <alb-ot> no additional drivers available
[20:37] <ioria> alb-ot, apt-cache policy fglrx-updates | pastebinit
[20:38] <alb-ot> ioria, http://paste.ubuntu.com/23199868/

[20:39] <alb-ot> lol s is simulation? woaaa
[20:40] <alb-ot> really cool
[20:40] <alb-ot> ioria, should i try it with sudo?
[20:40] <ioria> alb-ot, it looks ok...  sudo apt-get install fglrx-updates

[20:41] <alb-ot> good luck my laptop

[20:59] <alb-ot> ioria, http://paste.ubuntu.com/23199998/
[21:00] <ioria> alb-ot,    now it's detected but proprietary are not loaded ...
[21:00] <ioria> alb-ot,    ls /etx/x11/xorg.conf   ?
[21:00] <Ali2> I recently installed Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 LTS . But when sysetm starts I stuck at a black page . ( You can see the screenshot here : http://llink.ir/5buo )
[21:00] <Ali2> But I can't enter anything in this page (my login name and password or ...) , The only action that I can do is moving the cursor .

[21:02] <ioria> alb-ot,   ok, it's not working
[21:03] <alb-ot> ioria, i'm in x11 folder but there is no xorg.conf file
[21:03] <ioria> alb-ot,   cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | pastebinit
[21:03] <Ali2> @ubottu did you see the screenshot ? I'm sure that there's no graphical problem . i just can't reach the login page
[21:04] <alb-ot> ioria, http://paste.ubuntu.com/23200019/
[21:06] <alb-ot> ioria, how i am suppose to do the change done in the #18th comment? just with an install of fglrx-updates?
[21:06] <Bashing-om> alb-ot: OK, At the login prompt, what results when you enter your username and then the password ?
[21:06] <ioria> alb-ot,   yes, but ..
[21:07] <RNeville> I have been working to free up space on my whole boot drive encrypted install of Ubuntu 14.04
[21:07] <alb-ot> Bashing-om, i don't understand what you mean
[21:07] <alb-ot> Bashing-om, after i enter my id and psw i just log in and no messages.. o_0
[21:07] <ioria> Bashing-om, the desktop loads, but the ati proprietary driver is ignored
[21:07] <RNeville> I've had boot partition space problems in the past, and have tried several apt-get commands
[21:08] <Bashing-om> alb-ot: Sorry mis nicked you  .. ^ that was for Ali2 .
[21:08] <alb-ot> Bashing-om, lol ok
[21:08] <RNeville> Can anyone look at this link, and give me advice if they would run the commands on the page : https://ubuntugenius.wordpress.com/2011/01/08/ubuntu-cleanup-how-to-remove-all-unused-linux-kernel-headers-images-and-modules/
[21:09] <Ali2> how can i mention someone here?
[21:10] <ioria> alb-ot,   fglrxinfo
[21:10] <Bashing-om> alb-ot: ioria I am pf the opinion that the card " HD 4330/4350/4550] " has no FGLTX support . Maybe try switcheroo or : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PRIME ???
[21:10] <ioria> Bashing-om, yep
[21:10] <alb-ot> ioria, http://paste.ubuntu.com/23200050/
[21:11] <alb-ot> Bashing-om, i have no idea about what is FGLTX, switcheroo and prime
[21:11] <Bashing-om> Ali2: start typing the nick and alt to complete the name .
[21:11] <alb-ot> Bashing-om, and prime looks for nvidia, but i have ati/amd
[21:12] <Bashing-om> alb-ot: As I read the link .. the FOSS tool aslo applies to ATI .
[21:12] <CuriousErnestBro> hello
[21:12] <Ali2> Bashing-om : I'm on Android , I can't use Alt 😀
[21:12] <CuriousErnestBro> how would I, through the command line, reload my background image?
[21:13] <CuriousErnestBro> meaning my wallpaper
[21:14] <\9> RNeville: looks okay to me (though i would remove the -y switch)
[21:14] <ioria> alb-ot,   sudo aticonfig --px-dgpu
[21:14] <\9> -y switch from apt-get, that is
[21:14] <alb-ot> ioria, no supported adapter detected
[21:16] <tomreyn> RNeville: while this script may help you solve the immediate issue (if /boot has run full), you may actually want to increase its size in general. doing so, if you are using full disk encryption, *may*, however require reinstalling and re-partitioning.
[21:16] <ioria> alb-ot,   for now, better to purge fglrx ... and look for  other resources, no other ideas
[21:16] <RNeville> No matter what I try to clean up my boot drive, I get this error message: apt-get -f install
[21:16] <RNeville> run that command, that-is
[21:16] <alb-ot> ioria, so "sudo apt-get purge fglrx*" ok?
[21:17] <ioria> alb-ot,   yes
[21:17] <tomreyn> RNeville: you could show us your current partitioning and storage media abstraction / file system layers so we could provide an more specific recommendation.
[21:17] <Bashing-om> alb-ot: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics -  Mind you I have no direct experience with "prime" . Just thought it might be worth a try if switcheroo also fails .
[21:18] <alb-ot> Bashing-om, how to install and use switcheroo?
[21:18] <RNeville> thanks \9 and tomreyn
[21:18] <tomreyn> RNeville: okay, if you keep receiving hints to run 'apt-get -f install' repeatedly you should indeed concentrate on working on the immediate issue first.
[21:18] <RNeville> tomreyn, not sure how to show you this info.
[21:18] <alb-ot> ioria, should i reboot after purge?
[21:19] <ioria> alb-ot,   yes
[21:19] <RNeville> I do know who to use pastebin.com, though
[21:19] <tomreyn> RNeville: have you worked on a terminal, yet?
[21:19] <RNeville> yes, understand the terminal
[21:19] <alb-ot> Bashing-om, let me reboot first, brb
[21:20] <RNeville> just need the linux command to show partitioning info.
[21:20] <bekks> RNeville: Can you pastebin the entire output of your apt-get command?
[21:20] <RNeville> have tried most of what is on the web page:http://askubuntu.com/questions/89710/how-do-i-free-up-more-space-in-boot
[21:21] <tomreyn> RNeville: great, this is going to make it a lot easier. please put these commands and the output they create on a pastebin and post the resulting URL here: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install -f; apt-cache policy
[21:21] <RNeville> just keep getting message to run: apt-get -f install
[21:21] <RNeville> which doesn't work
[21:21] <tomreyn> RNeville: 'great' referred to your knowledge of the terminal / console, not to using this how-to, which i do not know.
[21:21] <RNeville> thx tomreyn
[21:22] <alb-ot> back
[21:22] <alb-ot> Bashing-om, did you say anything?
[21:24] <tomreyn> RNeville: these commands are going to hint on the state of your APT database and configuration. this is to understand how we can overcome the 'you should run apt-get -f install' prompts. this is what we should do before we even look at the partitioning issue (if any)
[21:24] <RNeville> here you go tomreyn : http://pastebin.com/8Xcexjju
[21:25] <Bashing-om> alb-ot: Nope, awaiting your return. As to switcheroo, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics . On the command ' sudo grep -i switcheroo /boot/config-* ' is the return "y" for yes ?
[21:25] <alb-ot> Bashing-om, CONFIG_VGA_SWITCHEROO=y
[21:26] <bekks> Havent seen a box with both i386 and amd64 packages for a long time.
[21:26] <Bashing-om> alb-ot: Then I suggest that it is indicative that switcheroo will work .. worth the time to try and see .
[21:28] <alb-ot> Bashing-om, so i guess there is not a fast way
[21:28] <OerHeks>  good ol' --add-architecture i386
[21:29] <Bashing-om> alb-ot: No fast way in my experience . However, always amazes me what I do not know .
[21:29] <yakoub> fg
[21:29] <yakoub> hi
[21:29] <tomreyn> RNeville: okay, for now APT looks fine, this is probably really 'just' an issue with your /boot having run full. now show us these commands and their output: sudo parted -ls; sudo dmsetup ls; sudo pvs; sudo lvs; sudo mount
[21:29] <OerHeks> an error 500 on all repos, sounds like your filesystem is read-only, and  the error message indicates a disk full error
[21:31] <tomreyn> RNeville: as OerHeks just pointed out correctly, it's probably not just that your /boot is full, but your root file system ( / ), too. they may also be the same file system. we will know once you've posted the output of the above commands.
[21:32] <tomreyn> RNeville: please add the output of one more command: df -h
[21:32] <OerHeks> touch <somefilename> is an easy check
[21:32] <alb-ot> Bashing-om, i'm going to sleep, i saved that site as bookmarks, thanks for the help, good night
[21:33] <OerHeks> tomreyn +1 df -h would give 0 writable too
[21:33] <Bashing-om> alb-ot: K; I will be interested in how this works out .
[21:33] <tomreyn> OerHeks: we'll also need the other command's outputs to recommend on any changes to the partitonjing scheme.
[21:35] <RNeville> here you go tomreyn : http://pastebin.com/ngScn4tG
[21:37] <tomreyn> RNeville: that's just the output of the last of those commands, but it's a good start. so /boot is full indeed. however, this does not explain why "sudo apt-get update" (which you ran earlier as part of the first series of commands) returns "500" for each of your APT sources.
[21:37] <RNeville> sorry, I don't have a clue to what your trying to tell me
[21:38] <bekks> RNeville: Just pastebin the other commands requested.
[21:38] <RNeville> 'df -h -l' ?
[21:38] <tomreyn> RNeville: can you please also show the output of: sudo parted -ls; sudo dmsetup ls; sudo pvs; sudo lvs; sudo mount; df -i
[21:39] <RNeville> just a second tomreyn
[21:41] <dArKd3ViL> HI guys! I wanted to know how do hard and soft symbolic links work on kernel level. Can anyone please explain?
[21:41] <bekks> dArKd3ViL: What do you mean with "on kernel level". Hard and soft links work on filesystem level.
[21:42] <dArKd3ViL> what exactly happens to the inode table entries?
[21:45] <RNeville> tomreyn, here you go: http://pastebin.com/Zqwv7KeT
[21:47] <hggdh> dArKd3ViL: http://teaching.idallen.com/dat2330/04f/notes/links_and_inodes.html
[21:47] <keyper> xubuntu ou ubuntu ?
[21:49] <djan> hi all
[21:52] <dArKd3ViL> hggdh : I understood what happens in hardlink. But confused about softlink. There should be afile that stores the path of the source. Where is that file or reference stored?
[21:52] <tomreyn> RNeville: so your /boot partition is a bit small, and this is probably the root cause of the issues you are seeing. your root file system (mounted to "/") is backed by a full disk encryption storage layer (probably dmcrypt-luks), and not broken.
[21:53] <hggdh> dArKd3ViL: looks like a standard file; the contents is the link to the target; the entry is marked as a link
[21:53] <RNeville> ok tomreyn
[21:54] <dArKd3ViL> hggdh: thanks :)
[21:54] <tomreyn> RNeville: we can now try to solve the immediate issue by recvoering unused disk space on /boot. Alternatively, we could place /boot on the SDB disk instead (but that is a bit adventurous, also because I do not know how or whether you currently make use of this seconds disk you have installed).
[21:55] <RNeville> the second disk is for video storage , trying to lern Lightworks
[21:55] <tomreyn> RNeville: on the medium term, you should probably make sure you have current and full backups, then reinstall, with a 1 GB /boot partition.
[21:56] <RNeville> I don't think I choose a small boot partition, in the first place - I think it was a default
[21:57] <RNeville> Are you sure this problem has been corrected in the lastest version of 14.04 ?
[21:57] <RNeville> I would hate to do all this work, and it not solve anything
[21:57] <tomreyn> RNeville: yes this is possible. defaults are not always ideal for every situation. for now, let's see the output of: dpkg -l linux\* | grep ^i
[21:58] <tomreyn> RNeville: i don't know whether the defaults for the size of the /boot partitioon have changed in the latest patch level of ubuntu 14.04. but you can always partition manually.
[21:58] <Bashing-om> RNeville: Samll boot: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1357093 .
[21:58] <RNeville> should I even have a separate boot partiontion?
[22:00] <RNeville> here you go tomreyn : http://pastebin.com/NfeZpruE
[22:01] <tomreyn> RNeville: if you intend to continue to use full disk encryption, yes you should have a separate /boot partition
[22:02] <tomreyn> that's because, unless you fiddle around a lot manually, this one cannot be encrypted.
[22:03] <RNeville> ok, tomreyn
[22:03] <RNeville> I think I understand the problem
[22:03] <tomreyn> RNeville: what'S the output of: uname -r
[22:03] <tomreyn> no need for pastebin here
[22:04] <RNeville> uname -r
[22:04] <RNeville> 3.19.0-66-generic
[22:04] <RNeville> james@james-Desktop:/boot$
[22:05] <TBotNik> All: Was just running updates on my server and getting multiple errors of: This likely means that your installation is broken.
[22:05] <tomreyn> RNeville: thanks now give me a minute to come up with a command line to remove those kernel images you probably do not need / want to keep.
[22:05] <TBotNik> Ya'll seen this before? What is fix?
[22:06] <bekks> TBotNik: Can you pastebin the entire output, nit just a single line please?
[22:06] <bekks> !pastebin | TBotNik
[22:07] <RNeville> thx tomreyn
[22:08] <faekjarz> Hey there! I have a LUKS partition on a 1TB HDD Now i'm thinking about migrating to a 2TB device. Can LUKS partitions be grown?
[22:08] <TBotNik> bekks: Well over 5,000 lines and process not complete, so can not capture from terminal yet!
[22:13] <mirrormagic> So Hello, I am attempting to Use XRDP Out side of my LAN network And all search attempts on google on how to do this have been futile, So I was wondering if any of you can assist me on this.
[22:13] <tomreyn> RNeville: sudo dpkg --purge linux-image{,-extra}-3.19.0-{42,43,47,49,56,59,61,64,65}-generic linux-headers-3.19.0-{42,43,47,49,56,59,61,64,65}{,-generic}
[22:14] <tomreyn> RNeville: this should remove all outdated, no longer needed, kernel images you currently have installed. please be sure to capture the output of this command in case anything goes wrong.
[22:14] <RNeville> thx tomreyn
[22:16] <th0r> mirrormagic, did you forward port 3390, or whatever port you are running it on?
[22:16] <RNeville> Should I consider upgrading to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
[22:16] <RNeville> Not a wiz with Gparted
[22:16] <tomreyn> RNeville: running this command will take a while since the kernel boot environment (initramfs) will need to be regenerated several times.
[22:17] <tomreyn> RNeville: generally, yes, ubuntu 16.04 is an improvements over 14.04 in many ways. (but there can be very rare situations where you do not want to upgrade, or not yet, as discussed in the 16.04 release notes.)
[22:18] <Bashing-om> tomreyn: RNeville :: As a reminder, prior to an update need to remove the EOL "  linux-generic-lts-vivid  " stuff also .
[22:18] <tomreyn> oh, good point.
[22:18] <tomreyn> either way, we definitely want to clean up this /boot mess first of all.
[22:18] <\9> shouldn't the upgrade get rid of stuff like that? o_O
[22:19] <mirrormagic> thor: I portforwarded
[22:19] <Bashing-om> tomreyn: Uh Huh !
[22:19] <faekjarz> nevermind, i've RTFM (read that fine manpage ;) - cryptsetup has a resize command. so, the answer to my question seems to be yes
[22:19] <mirrormagic> thor: and i have tested the port
[22:19] <tomreyn> Bashing-om: hmm?
[22:20] <mirrormagic> thor: i've tryed connecting to it outside of my network but it seems not to work, Why is that?
[22:20] <RNeville> I'm talking about a clean install tomreyn to 16.04 - not sure lightworks will support this version
[22:21] <th0r> mirrormagic, can you get anything working from outside? ssh? ftp? http?
[22:21] <RNeville> not sure if lightworks will run under 16.04 - that is
[22:21] <tomreyn> faekjarz: yes you can grow a crypto device. this may not be a good idea if you're using a certain encryption algorythm / scheme, though (i would need to review which one that was)
[22:22] <ivanolo4> Thamks
[22:22] <ivanolo4> hello
[22:22] <david_> hi
[22:23] <ivanolo4> world
[22:23] <david_> im new to this
[22:23] <mirrormagic> th0r: im not sure, I dont under stand really what you mean, I can Connect to XRDP On my ubuntu Server just fine but my friend cannot since he's not on my local network and i dont know how to make it allow external connections.
[22:23] <sl4ck> hi guys
[22:23] <sl4ck> I have Fedora OS and I am trying to talk with a Mac OS via terminal. Now, we are under the same gateway but different IP range. Any idea how to do it correctly?
[22:24] <xpertwinner> hello, I was trying to fsck a partition on an external hdd with an alternative superblock but that did not work. having given up on that, I now decided to just create a new filesystem, but I still get the error Warning: could not read block 0: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read. I am running this sudo mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sdb5 thank you
[22:25] <faekjarz> tomreyn: why shouldn't that be a good idea? (cryptsetup status says aes-xts-plain64)
[22:25] <tomreyn> RNeville: this software is not supported here. however, i just downloaded the release notes for the latest release 12.6.0 and they state that "Ubuntu/Lubuntu/Xbuntu 14.04 and higher" have been tested withit.
[22:25] <tomreyn> 16.04 would match "and higher"
[22:26] <RNeville> thx tomreyn
[22:26] <RNeville> Sorry, for so many questions, but:
[22:26] <tomreyn> RNeville: for a specific recommendation, check with the vendor.
[22:27] <th0r> mirrormagic, first, the isp may block incoming traffic. Some isp'
[22:27] <RNeville> will 16.04 create a larger boot partition automatically if I use full disk encryption ?
[22:27] <th0r> oops....some isp's don't allow such traffic
[22:28] <mirrormagic> th0r: Well I can host servers for games just fine so i don't think that is the problem, anything else i can do to fix this?
[22:28] <th0r> mirrormagic, also, they may have some ports blocked at their router. The isp may be using a private network for its architecture also, so it may need to forward ports at its gateway
[22:28] <RNeville> or better yet, remove older unused versions of linux kernel ?
[22:29] <macchio> hi everybody
[22:29] <akik> mirrormagic: you can test with "nc -v ipaddress port" if the connectivity from remote to your server is available
[22:29] <macchio> someone know how to connect in vpn on checkpoint server
[22:30] <macchio> for windows I use VPN CHECKPOINT CLIENT
[22:30] <mirrormagic> th0r: I tested it on an  external website and it works just fine, But the thing is i cant access my external ip while i'm inside of the network.
[22:31] <tomreyn> faekjarz: Please read "2.15 Can I resize a dm-crypt or LUKS partition?" at https://gitlab.com/cryptsetup/cryptsetup/wikis/FrequentlyAskedQuestions#2-setup
[22:31] <mirrormagic> th0r: so all testing has to be done by a friend of mine and he reports that Remote desktop connection on his part is unable to connect to my Ubuntu server
[22:31] <gr1dl0ck> macchio: check youtube
[22:31] <macchio> ok
[22:32] <macchio> some keywords to find it?
[22:32] <roy> Hi guys. Wondering if someone can help me quickly with sed regex?
[22:32] <RNeville> tomreyn, here are results from last commands (seem to have problems) : http://pastebin.com/7DQrE7Lr
[22:32] <tomreyn> faekjarz: with aes-xts-plain64 you should be safe, though. aes-xts-plain is known to be weak to pre-image attacks on large crypto container sizes
[22:33] <Aaron> RNeville: your Hard drive is full;
[22:33] <akik> mirrormagic: also for testing purposes you could start sshd on port 3389 with "sudo /usr/sbin/sshd -p 3389" and ask your friend to test it with a ssh client
[22:33] <roy> Am trying to change  doc id="736"   to   doc id="news736"   but sed 's/doc id="/doc id="news/g' file.xml  isn't working. Any bright sparks? :)
[22:33] <faekjarz> tomreyn: aye, thank you
[22:33] <RNeville> Aaron, I'm thinking I have 42 gig free
[22:33] <\9> !ask |roy
[22:33] <Aaron> check again with df -h
[22:34] <Aaron> it seems that's the error you are having RNeville
[22:34] <roy> @\9 done, been a while since I've been here
[22:34] <tomreyn> RNeville: please show the output of : df -h /boot; df -i /boot
[22:34] <\9> oh whoops
[22:34] <\9> sorry
[22:34] <roy> No problem buddy :)
[22:35] <\9> that sed works fine for me if i do echo 'doc id="736"' |sed 's/doc id="/doc id="news/g'
[22:35] <tronfemme> You were probably like so many white people (who as a race have a high quality of empathy for others), programmed by subconscious emotional arguments with the jewish lies, the jewish hate for you and your race, and internalized it. Women are especially vulnerable to emotional brainwashing due to their fine emotional qualities being abused by the jew. What would you have left if you find out you gave up your treasures for jew lies?
[22:35] <RNeville> Aaron, here is the result of your command : http://pastebin.com/dn4umHVv
[22:36] <RNeville> I'm thinking it shows I have 40 gigs free, but I'm a novice
[22:36] <mirrormagic> akik: That command doesn't work it just gives me An error on the lines of "incorrect error" or somthing like that
[22:36] <\9> tronfemme: please don't spam
[22:36] <akik> mirrormagic: do you have openssh-server installed?
[22:36] <roy> @\9: Very strange it's not working here
[22:36] <tomreyn> RNeville: those initial error messages are just pointing out that some files could not be removed (while cleaning up /boot), most likely because they were never successfully written there in the first place because the /boot file system ran full while they were installed.
[22:36] <roy> The echo is
[22:36] <mirrormagic> akik: Should i?
[22:37] <RNeville> thx for looking tomreyn
[22:37] <akik> mirrormagic: well /usr/sbin/sshd is part of openssh-server. but if you don't need it then no
[22:37] <\9> roy: wait, do you want to modify file.xml in place? i just noticed that your command is missing the '-i' switch
[22:37] <RNeville> I'll run apt-get update and then apt-get upgrade, now
[22:38] <mirrormagic> akik: i'm not sure if i do need it, That's why i'm asking you ahaha.
[22:38] <roy> @\9, was just going to ask if I needed a command or just pipe cat through
[22:38] <roy> will try that now
[22:38] <\9> sed writes to stdout
[22:38] <\9> unless you use -i to edit the file in place
[22:38] <roy> \9, that's amazing it's worked, didn't realise that about sed haha. Thank you so much!
[22:38] <tomreyn> RNeville: you have 40 GB free on /, that's right. what matters right now, however, is not / but /boot . This now 79MB unallocated ('free') space. It used to have 0 MB unallocated space.
[22:39] <Bashing-om> RNeville: Not yet for updating . as "  linux-generic-lts-vivid  : still on the system ??
[22:39] <\9> roy: no problem
[22:39] <roy> :
[22:39] <roy> :) *
[22:39] <tomreyn> RNeville: not so fast
[22:39] <RNeville> k tomreyn
[22:39] <akik> mirrormagic: what tools can your friend use to test the connection?
[22:39] <RNeville> haven't started update
[22:40] <mirrormagic> akik: Well He can use the Remote desktop connection tool thats built into the windows system to check if he can connect to it
[22:41] <tomreyn> RNeville: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -f install; sudo apt-get purge linux-image-generic-lts-vivid; sudo apt-get autoremove
[22:42] <akik> mirrormagic: an easy way would be for you to install openssh-server and your friend use putty to test
[22:42] <mirrormagic> akik: Ill do it.
[22:42] <akik> mirrormagic: openssh-server can be started with that previous command to port 3389
[22:42] <mirrormagic> akik: Link or command to obtain openssh-server?
[22:42] <akik> mirrormagic: you just have to disable the process that's currently using the port
[22:43] <akik> mirrormagic: sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[22:43] <Bashing-om> tomreyn: RNeville :: Also there are linux-headers-generic-lts-vivid  and  linux-image-generic-lts-vivid  to be removed .
[22:44] <tronfemme> Quote: "When the day comes that a new European leader on par with Adolf Hitler rises, I have no doubt that all of Europe will follow, and on that day we will throw out the Jewish hordes and their little toys, and Europe will rise once again, united, as the greatest nation and people this planet has ever seen."
[22:45] <RNeville> fyi: it appears to me , to be downloading this version of the linux kernel:inux-image-3.19.0-42-generic
[22:45] <xpertwinner> akik: if you remember me from the fsck problem on hdd.  i have recovered some files with photorec, now I am trying to install a fresh llinux on that partition
[22:45] <xpertwinner> akik: but I still get the error Warning: could not read block 0: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read. I am running this sudo mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sdb5 thank you
[22:45] <tomreyn> Bashing-om: linux-image-generic-lts-vivid was on my list there. headers don't get ion the way in /boot, but those should be removed later on, yes.
[22:45] <akik> xpertwinner: can you list the partition table all right?
[22:46] <Bashing-om> tomreyn: K. Just try'n to watch the back side .
[22:46] <xpertwinner> akik: yes I used fdisk -l
[22:46] <xpertwinner> akik: it said sdb 5 type Linux
[22:46] <akik> xpertwinner: did you try to use all the superblocks ?
[22:47] <tomreyn> RNeville: once you're done with everything, please show (pastebin) the output of this command again: sudo dpkg -l linux\* | grep ^i
[22:47] <xpertwinner> akik: yes, that did not work. but now I just want to erase everything and create a new one
[22:48] <RNeville> here is an update of last commands (which are still in progress) :http://pastebin.com/34pyP1XF
[22:48] <akik> xpertwinner: well "sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdXn" initializes a new partition. i don't know what is wrong if you get an error from that
[22:48] <xpertwinner> but I dont want to damage the other partitions on the same disk
[22:48] <tomreyn> RNeville: that's to ensure we have removed any outdated and unsupported packages, or will know which ones we need yet to uninstall.
[22:48] <RNeville> k tomreyn
[22:49] <xpertwinner> akik: so there is a hardware problem?
[22:49] <xpertwinner> akik: is there any tool for checking the disk for hardware problems and general state
[22:49] <RNeville> sorry, try this link tomreyn : http://pastebin.com/34pyP1XF
[22:50] <akik> xpertwinner: maybe if you delete the problem partition and make it start from another sector
[22:50] <akik> xpertwinner: this is just guessing
[22:51] <tomreyn> RNeville: it's okay, i solved the CAPTCHA for you ;)
[22:51] <RNeville> thx
[22:51] <RNeville> looks like to me it's downloading approx. 500 meg of files
[22:52] <tomreyn> RNeville: looks like i suggested a rather download intensive way to solve this issue. apologies, i didn't think this would involve so much.
[22:52] <RNeville> do I have room on boot ?
[22:52] <tomreyn> RNeville: you can cancel this and we can just continue with the dpkg -l
[22:52] <RNeville> k
[22:52] <tomreyn> sudo dpkg -l linux\* | grep ^i
[22:53] <sl4ck> I have Fedora OS and I am trying to talk with a Mac OS via terminal. Now, we are under the same gateway but different IP range. Any idea how to do it correctly?
[22:53] <xpertwinner> akik: yes, I will try doing that using usb live pen
[22:53] <akik> xpertwinner: are you sure that partition is not mounted?
[22:53] <orlock> sl4ck: Are any of them running ubuntu? and do you mean terminal via serial, or terminal via network?
[22:53] <xpertwinner> akik: yes it is the one with the error. it cannot mount
[22:53] <sl4ck> orlock: terminal via network
[22:54] <RNeville> tomreyn, : http://pastebin.com/6ZZ0kT1g
[22:54] <orlock> sl4ck: you want to access things on the Mac from Linux?
[22:55] <sl4ck> orlock: no.Just to chat with the other user
[22:55] <orlock> sl4ck: Oh.. then get them to both use IRC?
[22:57] <sl4ck> orlock: I know there is a way to chat via terminals shell. So, we under same gateway <IP_ADDRESS> but the Mac OS has <IP_ADDRESS> and the Linux OS has <IP_ADDRESS>
[22:58] <tomreyn> RNeville: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get purge linux-generic-lts-vivid linux-headers-generic-lts-vivid linux-image-generic-lts-vivid; sudo apt-get -f install
[22:58] <orlock> sl4ck: can they ping each others IP address?
[22:59] <sl4ck> orlock: yes
[22:59] <tomreyn> RNeville: once this is done, please show this: sudo dpkg -l linux\*
[23:00] <tomreyn> RNeville: i hope it will download less now. if i'm wrong and it starts downloading 3.16... kernels again and it takes a long time, let me know
[23:01] <tomreyn> RNeville: i mean 3.19.* kernels
[23:01] <Guest56499> Why is it recommended to disable ssh root login and use sudo instead? If the sudoer account is compromised couldn't an attacker accomplish the same thing?
[23:01] <RNeville> tomreyn, http://pastebin.com/TSMpjC7U
[23:01] <Techspectre> Up until today, my WiFi-connected scanner was working fine in Ubuntu. I'd use simple-scan and it worked perfectly. Suddenly, today it can't detect a scanner. Any ideas?
[23:02] <tomreyn> RNeville: did you already run this? sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get purge linux-generic-lts-vivid linux-headers-generic-lts-vivid linux-image-generic-lts-vivid; sudo apt-get -f install
[23:02] <orlock> Guest56499: It also allows auditing of who was responsible for performing root tasks
[23:03] <orlock> sl4ck: There's many many different terminal chat programs.  irc, ytalk
[23:05] <cash> Hello everyone
[23:05] <Guest56499> orlock: Then does it still make sense to disable root login on a server with only one user?
[23:06] <RNeville> yes, I'll run it again, to make sure if you like tomreyn , but I'm 99
[23:06] <RNeville> % sure I did
[23:06] <orlock> Guest56499: Well, it's all up to you then. But it's still reccomended best practice
[23:06] <tomreyn> RNeville: please run it again, and show its output, too
[23:07] <Guest56499> orlock: "Why?" "Because?" K. back to google :P
[23:07] <cash> Hi guys
[23:08] <tomreyn> hi cash
[23:08] <RNeville> tomreyn, :http://pastebin.com/4cihmqMC
[23:08] <tomreyn> !ask | cash
[23:09] <RNeville> tomreyn, :http://pastebin.com/pgDTDX3p
[23:10] <cash> noob question - is swapping cpu's possible?  I have one machine with an i5 560m, and another machine with an i5-3210M.  Can I swap them out or would that most likely be impossible?
[23:10] <cash> the two machines are totally different brands
[23:11] <orlock> cash: They are both the same brand
[23:12] <cash> orlock - ok
[23:12] <orlock> cash: But different sockets it seems. Likely, they wont work
[23:12] <tgm4883> cash: those are mobile processors, they are likely soldered to the motherboard
[23:12] <cash> D:
[23:12] <tomreyn> RNeville: the latest post (http://pastebin.com/pgDTDX3p) shows the output of "sudo dpkg -l linux\* | grep ^i". that's not a command i asked you to run recently. the last but one post contains that same output, but also the output of the series of commands i asked you to run: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get purge linux-generic-lts-vivid linux-headers-generic-lts-vivid linux-image-generic-lts-vivid; sudo apt-get -f install
[23:13] <cash> ahh ok guys
[23:13] <cash> that is what i figured
[23:13] <tomreyn> RNeville: now, that would be fine. however, that series of commands i asked you to run failed partially, because you apparently have another package management utility open. this could be synaptic for example.
[23:14] <cash> one machine is a system 76 (aka clevo) and the build quality is horrible.  I pirated the ram and put it into my Dell which surprisingly has better build quality bumping it up to 8 gigs.  wanted to know if there was a way to get the processor as well
[23:14] <tgm4883> cash: nope
[23:14] <cash> yeah i thought so
[23:14] <cash> thats ok i guess
[23:14] <tomreyn> RNeville: please close any pacjage management utilites you have open, then run this and show its output: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get purge linux-generic-lts-vivid linux-headers-generic-lts-vivid linux-image-generic-lts-vivid; sudo apt-get -f install
[23:14] <RNeville> I tried to install synatic, but was unable - sense I didn't have room on the boot partion
[23:14] <cash> 560m isnt toooo much worse than the i5-3210M
[23:14] <RNeville> partition
[23:15] <RNeville> synaptic, sorry
[23:15] <tomreyn> RNeville: synaptic would not require any space on /boot. but you cannot run two package management utilities in parallel.
[23:16] <RNeville> I'm not even sure how I can tell what's running on my machine - since, I don't think I have a package management system open
[23:16] <tomreyn> RNeville: trying to run two or more package manegment utilities in parallel will result in error messages like those on lines 136ff. here http://pastebin.com/4cihmqMC
[23:16] <RNeville> I mean, I'm not aware of a package management system running
[23:17] <tomreyn> RNeville: okay, it's possible that there si something else which got in the way, such as the automatic updater.
[23:18] <RNeville> can I run something like ps -ag to see what's running ?
[23:20] <tomreyn> RNeville: yes. try "ps ax" or "ps ef" or similar
[23:20] <oxide> Hello everyone. I have a weird problem. In random time i loose the sound of my netbook. For example i watch a movie or a video in browser or even when i just writing without using multimedia. But if i stop the movie and press a few times the icon of the sound in the panel,the sound coming back for some minutes and then again i am loosing it.
[23:21] <tomreyn> RNeville: does this return anything? ps aux | grep apt
[23:22] <tomreyn> RNeville: or this: ps aux | grep dpkg
[23:23] <oxide> can anyone help me?
[23:24] <bazhang> oxide, sound on youtube or what
[23:24] <bazhang> oxide, you said in the browser watching videos, from where
[23:24] <oxide> i am loosing the sound,not just in youtube
[23:24] <oxide> from everywhere
[23:25] <RNeville> tomreyn, : http://pastebin.com/1gQPWL9Q
[23:25] <oxide> not only watching videos. Not only from browser.
[23:25] <bazhang> oxide, check nothing is muted in alsamixer
[23:25] <oxide> nothing is muted
[23:25] <oxide> a friend of mine told me that maybe is RAM problem that i recently changed
[23:25] <bazhang> oxide, what is PCM set to
[23:26] <oxide> what is pcm?
[23:26] <RNeville> tomreyn, : http://pastebin.com/KhwXjZj5
[23:26] <bazhang> oxide, you just said that there was no problems in alsamixer
[23:27] <oxide> ok i found it, PCM 100<>100
[23:27] <oxide> The same problem i have in windows btw
[23:27] <OerHeks> do a memtest86 run
[23:27] <bazhang> oxide, so you need to take another look, and set pcm at way less than one hundred
[23:28] <oxide> 88 is ok?
[23:28] <bazhang> try eighty
[23:28] <oxide> ok i ll try but the same problem occurs in windows too
[23:28] <oxide> windows7
[23:28] <oxide> in my other partition
[23:28] <bazhang> oxide, next step is download the video and watch with smplayer a nd vlc
[23:29] <tomreyn> RNeville: you still have an old apt process running / hanging, which was started 45 minutes ago. you can kill it: sudo kill 1456; sudo kill 1448; sudo kill 1447
[23:29] <oxide> bazhang you dont read what i said? The same problem occurs with smplyer with vlc with whatever i do
[23:29] <bazhang> oxide, windows we wont help with here , for that go to ##windows
[23:30] <tomreyn> RNeville: once this is done you should be able to tun this, without errors: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get purge linux-generic-lts-vivid linux-headers-generic-lts-vivid linux-image-generic-lts-vivid; sudo apt-get -f install; sudo dpkg -l linux\*
[23:30] <bazhang> oxide, no you never said that at all
[23:30] <oxide> i said..anyway
[23:30] <OerHeks> oxide> a friend of mine told me ...  <--- listen to your friend
[23:30] <bazhang> oxide, and you have PCM set to way high
[23:31] <oxide> ok i will try to see set up to 80
[23:31] <oxide> still nothing.atm we are talking i have no sound
[23:32] <bazhang> whats the soundcard there oxide
[23:33] <oxide> how can i see that?
[23:33] <orlock> maybe start with the model of netbook
[23:33] <oxide> acer aspire one 522
[23:35] <tomreyn> RNeville: ... and i'd like to see its output again. i'm afraid i will also need to leave soon. whils your system is already in a much better state than it used to be, you should spend some more time with the other folks around here to get it cleaned up more (identify and remove packages which have no upgrade path via the APT repositories configured on your system; identify and remove unsupported packages off your system).
[23:36] <RNeville> tomreyn, : http://pastebin.com/iC9e8kRG
[23:36] <RNeville> tomreyn, doesn't seem to kill apt processes
[23:37] <RNeville> thx tomreyn
[23:37] <energizer> In gnome, how can I get the top-panel to appear on each monitor rather than just one monitor?
[23:37] <oxide> ok. I think my problem is not fixable. Maybe i have to change the RAM again
[23:38] <RNeville> can I run apt-get update apt-get upgrade
[23:38] <oxide> thank you for your help and your time guys
[23:38] <Kiziaru> is this the Ubuntu support IRC?
[23:39] <tomreyn> RNeville: yes, but this will probably download several kernel images (which are no longer supported) again
[23:39] <RNeville> should I try to reboot and then run : sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get purge linux-generic-lts-vivid linux-headers-generic-lts-vivid linux-image-generic-lts-vivid; sudo apt-get -f install; sudo dpkg -l linux\*
[23:39] <TurboKraken> Kiziaru: It is.
[23:39] <tomreyn> RNeville: actually, it won't work abyways, since your package database is still locked.
[23:40] <Kiziaru> TurboKraken: Thank you
[23:40] <Kiziaru> I am trying to install the android studio on ubuntu
[23:40] <Kiziaru> i unwrap the tar
[23:40] <Kiziaru> and go to the android/bin folder
[23:40] <Kiziaru> and try to run the script from terminal like the instructions say
[23:41] <Kiziaru> but it keeps throwing up an error
[23:41] <Kiziaru> java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_25/jre/lib/i386/libawt_xawt.so: libXrender.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[23:41] <tomreyn> RNeville: rebooting right now should work. you will get to run a much newer kernel than you used to run.
[23:41] <RNeville> thx tomreyn
[23:41] <RNeville> Take Care & God bless
[23:42] <tomreyn> RNeville: good luck
[23:43] <Guest62726> hi
[23:44] <Kiziaru> can anyone help me understand whats going on?
[23:52] <RNeville> tomreyn, : couldn't boot with new kernel
[23:55] <TurboKraken> Has anyone tried the Dell AiOs with Ubuntu 16.04LTS?


[08:15] <xnox> fling:  git fetch --tags ?
[08:16] <xnox> git doesn't fetch unreferenced tags by default, which is pain
[09:27] <fling> xnox: right, had to refetch the tags
[09:27] <fling> for some reason fetched a bunch of objects too
[09:36] <xnox> fling:  this is because we rebase our branches. thus those tags are "dead-ends" from git point of view.
[09:38] <fling> ah ok makes sense
[09:39] <fling> what are the worst "features" of 5.18 release btw?
[09:59] <plappermaul> Does anybody know if kernel irq_mask()/irq_unmask() functions are per cpu/core or system-wide?
[10:03] <xnox> fling:  the bit that it has never been released as ubuntu kernel, and thus likely did not pass certification & regression testing, thus it probably has many issues and regressions.
[10:21] <fling> xnox: where can I read about this?
[10:40] <xnox> fling:  it's unknown. because we never completed v5.18 integration.
[10:41] <xnox> fling:  and even v5.19 is yet to migrate in kinetic, but it is very close to be ready.
[10:42] <xnox> fling:  but like in a few weeks we will start to have v5.19 in jammy too. why do you desire v5.18?
[15:09] <fling> xnox: wanted to try something newer but 5.19 is not supported by zfs yet
[15:09] <fling> no 2.1.6 patchset yet
[15:27] <xnox> fling:  ubuntu builds zfs in by default... our v5.19 linux kernel in kinetic-proposed is v5.19 based; with all the patches; and zfs built in.....
[15:28] <xnox> fling:  if you want bleeding edge stuff use kinetic + only kernel from proposed https://launchpad.net/~canonical-kernel-team/+archive/ubuntu/proposed
[15:28] <fling> no 5.19 support in zfs yet
[15:28] <fling> can go with master though
[15:28] <xnox> (enabling all of kinetic-proposed in development release is harmful)
[15:29] <xnox> ubuntu's kenrel has zfs built in...
[15:30] <xnox> we have https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zfs-linux/2.1.5-1ubuntu2 which builds with v5.19 and is vendored into our v5.19 kernel https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/5.19.0-15.15
[15:31] <xnox> ./lib/modules/5.19.0-15-generic/kernel/zfs/zfs.ko is there....
[15:55] <fling> are you cherry picking 5.19 compat patches there?
[15:56] <fling> sure it builds and works even without them but there are issues
[16:03] <Eickmeyer> fling: The kernel team knows what they're doing. The kernels they produce undergo extensive testing on dozens of computers in a test lab before they're released to the public.
[16:11] <fling> ubuntu had non-matching userspace/kmod zfs versions
[16:12] <fling> this is not recommended especially before zfs 2 release
[16:13] <Eickmeyer> Does that cause functional issues?
[16:14] <fling> yes this could lead to silent pool corruptions :<
[16:14] <Eickmeyer> But does it?
[16:14] <Eickmeyer> Do you have evidence?
[16:14] <Eickmeyer> Concrete, reproducible evidence?
[16:15] <fling> I'm not an expert in running non-matching versions but there are people in #zfsonlinux with more knowledge on the topic
[16:16] <fling> I'm the errata guy :D
[16:17] <Eickmeyer> Here's the thing:  "not recommended" by upstream does *not* justify it being a bug or wrong. Therefore, your argument is invalid.
[16:17]  * fling noted
[16:23] <xnox> fling:  if you use kinetic, it has matching userspace and kernel zfs version, as all of it is built from the same source package 2.1.5-1ubuntu2
[16:24] <fling> good to know
[21:11] <hallyn> where's the ubuntu-jammy kernel source git tree these days?
[21:14] <sarnold> hallyn: I think git://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/jammy
[21:22] <hallyn> thanks sarnold
