[16:44] <FedoraUser> TJ-, this may pose significant issue, since I am trying to setup test environment that should later on be used as virtualization platform hosting hundreds of VMs... and I guess one update can break dependency from old package...
[16:44] <lovelinux> i have username and password from my isp and i am connected to isp network with my laptop wifi ,in fedora i use from pppoe-setup and enter my username and password and connect to internet by using pppoe-connect what should i do in ubuntu ?
[16:44] <sergiu> ok
[16:44] <sergiu> This dd
[16:45] <sergiu> i have to say is very slow
[16:45] <sergiu> i can write one hour or two
[16:45] <sergiu> very much
[16:45] <sergiu> haha
[16:45] <Pici> sergiu: While you're waiting, can you please not rant in this channel.  If you just want to chat about non-support things there is #ubuntu-offtopic.
[16:46] <TJ-> FedoraUser: I'd class that as unlikely in 14.04 since its rare to break versioning/dependencies especially in LTS releases; except if you upgrade the kernel and/or X stack from more recent releases
[16:46] <lovelinux> i have username and password from my isp and i am connected to isp network with my laptop wifi ,in fedora i use from pppoe-setup and enter my username and password and connect to internet by using pppoe-connect what should i do in ubuntu ?
[16:46] <FedoraUser> TJ-, yeah, I wouldn't bet my job on it :)
[16:47] <FedoraUser> TJ-, anyway, cman is not crucial to the setup, it is crucial to the old guides. official documentation uses pacemaker and corosync but with additional tool that is missing. that tool is supposed to automate writing .xml files... I may venture off to write them by hand
[16:48] <TJ-> FedoraUser: what's the tool that is missing? It could have moved to another package?
[16:48] <magnalatorta> ive got this error with apache2: AH00558: apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using <IP_ADDRESS>. Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message
[16:48] <magnalatorta>     .    what can i do to set the servername correctly?
[16:48] <lotuspsychje_> magnalatorta: maybe the #httpd guys can help with that?
[16:49] <FedoraUser> TJ-, from this guide: http://clusterlabs.org/doc/en-US/Pacemaker/1.1-crmsh/html-single/Clusters_from_Scratch/index.html  the command is 'pcs'
[16:49] <magnalatorta> how do i contact them?
[16:50] <lotuspsychje> magnalatorta: type Join #httpd
[16:51] <lovelinux> i have username and password from my isp and i am connected to isp network with my laptop wifi ,in fedora i use from pppoe-setup and enter my username and password and connect to internet by using pppoe-connect what should i do in ubuntu ?
[16:51] <sergiu> You know guys what?
[16:51] <impi> heya
[16:52] <sergiu> When you loose the entusiasm to stay on google to search for solution, is time to remove ubuntu from hdd forever
[16:52] <FedoraUser> TJ-, I think I misunderstood it... it may be that it doesn't write xmls but that other tools can be used for such purpose... which are not explained :)
[16:52] <sergiu> i dont want to search on google
[16:52] <impi> anyone having trouble suspending on 14.04.3
[16:52] <sergiu> this os is too crappy
[16:52] <sergiu> Error: /dev/sdb: unrecognised disk label
[16:52] <impi> everytime i suspend my laptop, put it in my bag, hop on the bike, to get home with a cooking laptop.
[16:53] <impi> it's ridiculous
[16:53] <TJ-> FedoraUser: ahh; I don't find pcsd in any other package. Annoying!
[16:53] <FedoraUser> TJ-, not pcsd but 'pcs'
[16:53] <FedoraUser> TJ-, I think :)
[16:53] <lotuspsychje> impi: put the pc off while your not using it?
[16:54] <impi> i've been doing that but then i'd have to star everything up....my browser and all the tabs, im sure you can appreciate the benefits of suspending a laptop?
[16:54] <metame> having issue with audio on 15.10 in Chrome. audio works everywhere else
[16:54] <impi> so shutting is down is not an option.
[16:54] <sergiu> This programs in linux they work in relations with all details from linux, they dont stay as stand-lone to be able to work everytime
[16:55] <lovelinux> who is response?
[16:55] <lovelinux> i have username and password from my isp and i am connected to isp network with my laptop wifi ,in fedora i use from pppoe-setup and enter my username and password and connect to internet by using pppoe-connect what should i do in ubuntu ?
[16:55] <lotuspsychje> !patience | lovelinux
[16:55] <lotuspsychje> impi: ubuntu version?
[16:55] <impi> 14.04.3
[16:55] <impi> perfectly up to date running on a dell precision m3800
[16:56] <impi> thats why it's strange that it doesnt work
[16:56] <impi> maybe it's because i dont have swap?
[16:56] <TJ-> FedoraUser: I was hunting based on that article saying the pcsd (daemon service)
[16:56] <lotuspsychje> impi: check your syslog and dmesg
[16:56] <lotuspsychje> impi: and try laptop-mode-tools
[16:56] <FedoraUser> TJ-, oh ok, yeah, I forgot it had service part
[16:57] <impi> great, thanks! i was going to dig into it, but thought i'd ask here - maybe it's a frequent question
[16:57] <impi> thanks for the help lotuspsychje +1
[16:57] <TJ-> !info crmsh  trusty | FedoraUser That article suggests crmsh can be used as an alternative to pcs
[16:57] <FedoraUser> TJ-, ok, apparently there is crmsh in 14.04 which is good news, I just need to translate pcs commands in crmsh
[16:57] <FedoraUser> TJ-, yeah! that!
[16:58] <TJ-> FedoraUser: good luck :)
[16:58] <FedoraUser> TJ-, thank you for your help, I'll continue tomorrow on this subject :)
[16:58] <lotuspsychje> impi: tail -f /var/log/syslog and go suspending might spit out some usefull things also perhaps?
[17:01] <lovelinux> i found this link http://ubuntuguide.net/setting-up-pppoe-ubuntu-command but in pppoeconf i don`t know where can i enter my dns
[17:03] <iamnotgreg> I'm trying to open a port for a server that is running on my localhost so that it is accessible on my network. What do I need to do? My google skills are weak
[17:04] <lotuspsychje> iamnotgreg: try the #ubuntu-server or #netfilter guys
[17:04] <iamnotgreg> thanks
[17:04] <Jobbe> So I'm trying to do a make defconfig for the kernel in ubuntu - i get this error "Can't find default configuration arch/x86/configs/x86_64_defconfig" - my working dir is: /usr/src/linux-headers-3.13.0-74-generic
[17:04] <iamnotgreg> lotuspsychje: this is an ubuntu desktop...just has a server on it for my fax
[17:05] <Jobbe> I'm trying to configure the kernel so i can have a package compile a kernel module
[17:05] <Jobbe> This is an ubuntu 14.04 desktop machine btw
[17:05] <lotuspsychje> !kernel | Jobbe
[17:06] <impi> lotuspsychje,
[17:06] <impi> got it
[17:06] <impi> cat /proc/acpi/wakeup
[17:06] <impi> show you all the wakeup calls
[17:06] <Jobbe> Thanks ubottu
[17:07] <impi> i disabled all of them except PWRB & LID0
[17:07] <Jobbe> I'm trying to install KES8 for linux. It need a real-time kernel module to make it work.
[17:08] <lotuspsychje> impi: solved now?
[17:08] <Jobbe> oh
[17:08] <Jobbe> thanks lotuspsychje hah
[17:09] <impi> lotuspsychje, i hope so, i disabled the lid too and only allowed the power button to wake the laptop
[17:10] <impi> man this laptop get scary hot in my bag
[17:10] <impi> im sure it wont last log if this happens to frequently
[17:10] <Jobbe> hehe
[17:10] <Jobbe> I've sometimes forgotten to turn off my laptop when i put it in my bag
[17:10] <lotuspsychje> impi: did you vacuum clean it once?
[17:10] <impi> no it's brand new
[17:10] <Jobbe> but it runs pretty cool when idle
[17:10] <impi> lotuspsychje, ^^
[17:10] <impi> heheeh
[17:10] <impi> har har
[17:11] <lotuspsychje> impi: its not very recommended to let a computer run into a bag...
[17:11] <impi> heh
[17:11] <impi> yeh man, it was stressing me out
[17:12] <Jobbe> I've done so many bad things to my laptop :/ .. I'm surpriced it isn't dead yet
[17:13] <lotuspsychje> Jobbe: you can use #ubuntu-offtopic for regular chat mate
[17:14] <Jobbe> sure thing, was just commenting on the laptop in bag topic :)
[17:16] <Jobbe> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/KernelGitGuide?action=show&redirect=KernelTeam%2FKernelGitGuide
[17:16] <Jobbe> http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git-repos/
[17:16] <Jobbe> that link is broken
[17:18] <TJ-> Jobbe: how is it broken?
[17:18] <Jobbe> check the output from it
[17:18] <Jobbe> I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/
[17:19] <TJ-> Jobbe: it's not supposed to be accessed by a user-agent; the sub-dirs are for git when using http protocol
[17:20] <TJ-> Jobbe: but I agree the index text output is a mess :)
[17:20] <Jobbe> my bad then
[17:21] <TJ-> Jobbe: if you view the source it looks like it is partial output from gitfind, with no HTML headers, so it is probably a bug - I'll ask the sysadmin team
[17:22] <Jobbe> yeah i see that now
[17:22] <Jobbe> no html output nor

[17:24] <iamnotgreg> How do I open a port on my computer and forward it to an open port on my localhost?
[17:24] <TJ-> Jobbe: looks like someone forgot to wrap the gitfind output
[17:24] <arcsky> Question, domain-search is that done default by the dhcp client ?
[17:24] <Jobbe> TJ-: Might be :-)
[17:25] <TJ-> Jobbe: being investigated now
[17:25] <Jobbe> Great :)
[17:27] <bithon> hey. where can i get already built latest kernel for ubuntu server? ( i'm kind of terrified of the overwhelming amount of options in confimenu that i'd prefer if somebody actually built the image for me)
[17:28] <bithon> :)
[17:29] <bithon> i found this http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.4-wily/ and wondering if it's recommended to install kernel from there ?
[17:31] <ChibaPet> A quick question... Are the images in http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ intended to work? In Debian the installer was usually left until last, but I don't know if that's the case here.
[17:31] <TJ-> bithon: yes, that's the correct location, although those kernel's aren't supported  (predominately they're for testing mainline vs ubuntu builds)
[17:31] <Guest48966> https://a.uguu.se/erctqn.png
[17:31] <Guest48966> does it look good for installation?
[17:31] <Guest48966> and should I make another 200 MB /boot/ partition?
[17:32] <TJ-> ChibaPet: the images are built daily and should work
[17:32] <ChibaPet> TJ-: ty, I'll snag one and try it then, rather than upgrading from an older release.
[17:32] <bithon> TJ-: But they are still built from ubuntu's generic config I assume, yes?
[17:32] <TJ-> Guest48966: I'd recommend more that 200MB for /boot/ due to frequent problems with running out of space for updated kernels
[17:33] <Guest48966> Ookay
[17:33] <TJ-> bithon: correct; it's all automated and run through QA testing
[17:33] <Jobbe> TJ-: he have an EFI parition, does he really need a /boot/ partition then ?
[17:33] <orion> Hi. How do I prevent one particular sudo command from being logged? It's on a schedule and is cluttering up my logs.
[17:33] <bithon> Cool, thanks. Going to go ahead and install it right now.
[17:34] <EriC^^> orion: what's the command? why don't you use it in root's crontab
[17:34] <bithon> One more question: Which one of these are most recommended for servers (as that's what I need it for) ?
[17:34] <bithon> uname --all
[17:34] <bithon> oops
[17:35] <TJ-> Jobbe: EFI-SP and /boot/ are different things, with different purposes
[17:36] <TJ-> bithon: for '-server' you don't want the -live images. You want http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/daily/
[17:37] <Guest48966> Ubuntu installer, accepted :D
[17:37] <Guest48966> it's copying files, right naw
[17:39] <oscar_> Buen día...

[17:39] <orion> EriC^^: cron isn't the one doing the scheduling for this particular command.
[17:40] <motaka2> does any one has any idea why phpunit --version on the first block doesn't work ? in this manual https://phpunit.de/getting-started.html
[17:40] <ChibaPet> TJ-: Oh, thanks for linking that - it's actually what I want too, not the live.
[17:40] <TJ-> orion: 'cluttering' which log, auth.log ?
[17:41] <bithon> TJ-: How "generally" are stable latest releases of kernel ?
[17:41] <Gallomimia> quite stable. i find
[17:42] <Gallomimia> seen one that had a weird bug in it once. affected some people. fixed next day
[17:42] <bithon> TJ-: Is there a repo for kernel only images? I already have server up and running
[17:45] <orion> TJ-: yes
[17:46] <Russel> Hi!
[17:49] <anchnk> hi, is it possible to upgrade the version of evolution from 3.10 to 3.12 under ubuntu 14.04 ?
[17:50] <TJ-> bithon: the kernel images for servers are either the -generic or the -virtual (designed for typical VMs)
[17:51] <TJ-> orion: as far as I am aware, sudo cannot be commanded to reduce logging, only to increase it. A valid sensible security measure obviously.
[17:52] <afe> How to manage a desktop remotely? Remove some software, update or tweak a bit the DE
[17:52] <motaka2> TJ-: Hello, Happy new year
[17:53] <ChibaPet> afe: ssh in
[17:53] <bithon> TJ-: Oh, I run my server in vbox. -virtual more recommended in such a scenario and what are the general benefits of using it (except for the obvious ones) instead of -generic ?
[17:53] <bithon> in a vbox *

[17:55] <hari_> hi guys
[17:55] <orion> TJ-: ok thanks
[17:55] <hari_> how to fix wifi problems
[17:56] <bithon> also, does -virtual support vbox by default?? (http://askubuntu.com/questions/257416/what-are-practical-advantages-of-using-linux-image-virtual-kernel mentions only a couple of vm's)
[17:56] <blackflow> hari_: you begin by explaining what the problem is :)
[17:56] <Mathisen> hari_, depends on whay problem..
[17:56] <TJ-> bithon: the -virtual images only contain the modules required in VM guests; not every possible bit of hardware support, so they're smaller and more focused
[17:57] <maddawg2> hey all, i recently ran a sudo apt-get upgrade all and for some reason when i boot now it drops me to a busybox shell that says (initramfs)
[17:57] <bithon> TJ-: Okay, so given that i run a ubuntu server in a vbox virtual would make mor sense in my case ?
[17:57] <kavan> hari_: explain your problem properly...
[17:57] <maddawg2> and i have no clue what to do with that

[17:58] <maddawg2> EriC^^ just a sec let me reboot and tell you
[17:58] <hari_> k man
[17:58] <TJ-> bithon: it sounds that way. The only time I've seen someone get caught out by it, was when trying to passthrough host USB devices
[17:58] <kavan> hari_: You can install by  unistallling all prog';-p[

[17:59] <hari_> wtf kavan!!!

[18:12] <TJ-> django_: screen or tmux ?
[18:13] <django_> TJ-, it might be screen
[18:13] <maddawg2> i'm actually gonna use a live cd as i forgot this flash drive is no longer live lol
[18:13] <jedix> hey,  I have ubuntu 12.04 installed, and my bluetooth adapter is not showing up.  It's a ky-bt100 based dongle.  hcitool dev returns no devices..
[18:13] <TJ-> django_: those keep the remote session running even if you disconnect
[18:13] <maddawg2> so it's a bit longer
[18:13] <jedix> I see it has a kernel module loaded..
[18:13] <TJ-> jedix: possibly there is no driver in 12.04 for that device
[18:13] <eihab> hello
[18:14] <jedix> TJ-: in the 3.13 kernel?
[18:15] <jedix> TJ-: I've found posts about it working on Hardy..
[18:15] <TJ-> jedix: get the device's PCI or USB ID [vendor:product] and then you can check if there is a module supporting it
[18:15] <jedix> TJ-: 1131:1001
[18:17] <jedix> TJ-: where would you find a list of the supported vendor:product id?
[18:19] <TJ-> jedix: I'm not seeing a module that declares an alias for that device, using "grep 'v00001131.*1001' /lib/modules/*/modules.alias"
[18:20] <TJ-> jedix: it's possible it can be recognised via a Class driver instead; can you show the "lsusb -v -d 1141:1001" output?
[18:23] <TJ-> jedix: bah, typo in my command s/1141/1131/
[18:23] <jedix> TJ-: I still don't see it..
[18:24] <jedix> sec
[18:24] <jedix> TJ-: http://pastebin.com/tc6HQGMQ
[18:25] <TJ-> jedix:  "bDeviceClass          224 Wireless" indicates a suitable wireless/BT driver *may* be able to manage that
[18:26] <maddawg2> EriC^^, i'm in the live CD now
[18:26] <maddawg2> oh wait desktop hasnt loaded yet
[18:26] <maddawg2> sigh
[18:28] <maddawg2> EriC^^, I'm in the live cd now lol
[18:28] <EriC^^> maddawg2: ok, type sudo parted -l | nc openterm.tk 9
[18:28] <TJ-> jedix: "modinfo btusb" shows that module declares a matching class alias: "alias:          usb:v*p*d*dcE0dsc01dp01ic*isc*ip*in*"
[18:28] <TJ-> jedix: check on your system the module declares that same alias
[18:29] <TJ-> jedix: "dcE0" is the device class, E0 os hexadecimal for 224 decimal (the class number)
[18:30] <jedix> sure, sec
[18:30] <maddawg2> is that an l or a 1
[18:30] <maddawg2> lol
[18:31] <maddawg2> EriC^^, i'm guessing that was the letter L
[18:31] <jedix> TJ-: alias usb:v*p*d*dcE0dsc01dp01ic*isc*ip*in* btusb
[18:31] <jedix> yep
[18:31] <maddawg2> i did that and it just returned a new line
[18:31] <jedix> it's there
[18:31] <TJ-> jedix: OK, so we know there's apparent support, so the next thing to do is look at /var/log/kern.log and see if the btusb driver reports it claiming that device, or any errors, when it is plugged in
[18:32] <TJ-> jedix: "tail -n 0 -f /var/log/kern.log" and then plug it in
[18:32] <EriC^^> maddawg2: yup
[18:33] <snowstorm> hi all
[18:34] <maddawg2> EriC^^ ok
[18:34] <jedix> TJ-: hmm, I'm not actually at the box right now..
[18:34] <jedix> TJ-: I'm ssh'ed in
[18:34] <maddawg2> EriC^^ I think it's a bad superblock
[18:34] <TJ-> jedix: well that's the thing to do when you are. If no messages appear it's likely the btusb driver isn't 'claiming' the device for some reason
[18:34] <TJ-> jedix: Ahh... maybe you can cause a rescan by probing the sysfs
[18:35] <jedix> TJ-: hmm, there's logs from a few days ago that indicate that this happened on first plugin..
[18:36] <EriC^^> maddawg2: what did it say?
[18:37] <maddawg2> nothing Eric^^
[18:37] <maddawg2> it returned an empty line
[18:37] <maddawg2> didnt even return an empty line
[18:37] <maddawg2> just sent me back to the command line
[18:37] <maddawg2> i was looking here:  https://linuxexpresso.wordpress.com/2010/03/31/repair-a-broken-ext4-superblock-in-ubuntu/
[18:38] <maddawg2> cuz i did an fsck.ext4 -v /dev/sdb1
[18:38] <maddawg2> and it told me there was  a bad superblock
[18:39] <EriC^^> maddawg2: try sudo parted -l
[18:40] <jophish> Hi I'm using xubuntu on a laptop with a high dpi screen and I can hardly read any of the text
[18:40] <jedix> TJ-: not finding a way to simulate this..
[18:40] <jophish> how can I scale everything by 2?
[18:40] <maddawg2> EriC^^, lists my installed drives
[18:41] <maddawg2> woah wtf
[18:41] <maddawg2> it has my filesystems as ntfs
[18:41] <maddawg2> I DID NOT do NTFS
[18:41] <maddawg2> i did ext4
[18:41] <EriC^^> maddawg2: ok, type sudo parted -l | nc openterm.tk 9
[18:42] <EriC^^> paste the link here, is this a fresh install?
[18:42] <maddawg2> no it's not a fresh install
[18:42] <maddawg2> i did that command but again it just drops me to an empty command prompt line
[18:43] <maddawg2> also no network access on the machine right now
[18:43] <TJ-> jedix: first identify the node in sysfs for that device, it'll be under /sys/class/usb/usb*/ .. maybe 'grep 1131 /sys/class/usb/usb*/idVendor' will help
[18:43] <EriC^^> oh ok
[18:43] <EriC^^> maddawg2: can you get a network access?
[18:44] <maddawg2> EriC^^ I can try
[18:44] <snowstorm> has anyone else lost the surround sound via hdmi (Radeon HD 7700/7800 Series) on ubuntu 14.04 after last update?
[18:44] <kian> hello, I used this guide to setup znc: https://www.vultr.com/docs/install-and-setup-znc-on-ubuntu
[18:44] <kian> how can I add something to make sure it starts on boot?
[18:44] <oren> Hello. I am new to Ubuntu Mate
[18:44] <TJ-> jedix: Then once you're satisfied you have the correct node, do "echo suspend | sudo dd of=/sys/class/usb/usb<DEVNUM>/power/control" to power it down, then "echo auto | sudo dd of=/sys/class/usb/usv<DEVNUM>/power/control" to wake it up/discover it again
[18:45] <maddawg2> EriC^^, i think i might have to redo this whole machine....  the filesystem is completely wrong
[18:45] <EriC^^> maddawg2: ok, try getting a network access so we can see what's going on
[18:46] <dev_> hi
[18:46] <faxx_> Is anyone in here that can help me configure hylafax for my network?
[18:47] <dev_> Is there any way to support korean/chinese keyboard layout other than ibus/scim packages on linux?
[18:47] <eluus> does anyone know how to enable high fidelity playback on ubuntu for bluetooth audio device?
[18:47] <eluus> there's the option for it but it's not working
[18:48] <TJ-> jedix: Sorry, bad path typo there ... then do "echo suspend | sudo dd of=/sys/bus/usb/devices/usb<DEVNUM>/power/control" to power it down, then "echo auto | sudo dd of=/sys/bus/usb/devices/usb<DEVNUM>/power/control" to wake it up/discover it again

[18:49] <dev_> Is there any way to support korean/chinese keyboard layout other than ibus/scim packages on linux? Can anybody help me,please?
[18:50] <jedix> TJ-: I can't seemt o get that to go
[18:50] <jedix> TJ-: I then su'ed and tried to echo it directly..
[18:50] <jedix> echo: write error: invalid argument
[18:51] <dev_> Is there any way to support korean/chinese keyboard layout other than ibus/scim packages on linux? Can anybody help me,please?
[18:52] <daftykins> dev_: don't repeat so quickly
[18:52] <dev_> sorry for that
[18:53] <piercedwater> can someone help me figure out why my usb 3.0 enclosure (Orico 9548) slows down at the same spot every time and stops? I'm on 14.04
[18:55] <daftykins> piercedwater: not without more detail
[18:55] <daftykins> what is "the same spot" ?
[18:55] <piercedwater> ok, i shall provide. what info do you need
[18:55] <KaiForce> is there a way to ensure that a specific interface (eth0 eth1 etc...) uses a specific physical port?  I have a machine with three interfaces where occasionally eth0 and eth1 will flip/flop.  This breaks connectivity.
[18:55] <piercedwater> well, it transfers with rsync for about 2 mins then stops
[18:55] <piercedwater> dead stop
[18:55] <daftykins> add verbosity to rsync and see what it tells you, maybe it's a path of small files
[18:55] <piercedwater> they are music files
[18:56] <piercedwater> verbosity tells me nothing except the transfer speed as slowed down to 200kb/s
[18:56] <django_> if i close terminal 'screen' loses all the consoles?
[18:56] <django_> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen
[18:57] <ChibaPet> django_: No, screen exists to keep them running as long as the screen process itself is alive.
[18:57] <dev_> i have installed scim package along with scim-pinyin package but i can't see chinese keyboard layout support
[18:57] <snowstorm> does anyone knows about lost of surround sound through hdmi with Radeon HD 7700/7800 Series after Ubuntu 14.04 LTS latest update done few days ago?
[18:57] <ChibaPet> django_: Connect to the system and, in the simplest form, "screen -x" to reconnect.
[18:58] <django_> ChibaPet, if its  detached how do i un-detach
[18:58] <ChibaPet> screen -x
[18:59] <django_> 21824.pts-2.django      (01/13/2016 01:48:42 PM)        (Detached)
[18:59] <fox-catch> Hi all.
[18:59] <django_> says: Type "screen [-d] -r [pid.]tty.host" to resume one of them.
[18:59] <fox-catch> Whenever I try to install something. I get error to do `apt-get install -f`
[19:00] <daftykins> fox-catch: show the full output in http://paste.ubuntu.com - obviously you have prior package issues
[19:00] <ChibaPet> oh, interesting - I never see that state. Alright. So, screen -r or if it requires more, screen -r django
[19:00] <fox-catch> and whenever I do that it will go and installl something will failure at end
[19:00] <speedy__> hi
[19:00] <TJ-> jedix: hmm, you're replacing "<DEVNUM>" with the device number you've identified in the previous step ?
[19:00] <mattia> Hi, I'm not understanding how to install ubuntu on UEFI machines. Anyone can help me?
[19:00] <fox-catch> daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14489753/ it's 12.04
[19:01] <daftykins> mattia: how far are you getting?
[19:01] <speedy__> how to i remove a tree of folders  via commandline?
 : pretty much 0%
[19:01] <daftykins> fox-catch: and you're trying to set up apache today is it?
[19:01] <ChibaPet> django_: The oddity here is that I regularly attach to detached sessions with -x. Let me fire up my laptop and see if ubuntu is doing something differently.
[19:01] <daftykins> mattia: not as far as preparing a flash drive to install from?
[19:01] <django_> ChibaPet, i have multiple sessions
[19:01] <TJ-> speedy__: to remove *EVERYTHING* under and including /path/to/dir "rm -rf /path/to/dir"
[19:01] <fox-catch> daftykins: no php 5.6
[19:02] <django_> ok it works
[19:02] <django_> i did screen -r 21824.pts-2.django
[19:02] <ChibaPet> django_: If you have multiple sessions, give it enough text to uniquely identify the one you want.
[19:02] <speedy__> TJ-,  yes i want everything gone
[19:02] <mattia> No. I alredy have a DVD as media.
[19:02] <django_> ChibaPet, how can i delete a screen?
[19:02] <daftykins> fox-catch: but your paste shows it's trying to install the apache module for php5, which is having issues because it can't install apache main...
[19:02] <mattia> The problem is that I don't undestand what to do with the partitions.
[19:03] <daftykins> mattia: are you trying to install beside Windows, or as the only OS?
[19:03] <fox-catch> daftykins: aha so I should I fix this first?
[19:03] <daftykins> fox-catch: yep
[19:03] <mattia> daftykins : alongside win
[19:03] <fox-catch> daftykins: but how :P
[19:03] <ChibaPet> django_: From within the screen ^a\
[19:03] <daftykins> fox-catch: i slightly suspect the use of PPAs ruining your install - 12.04 is a bit antique to hold out on, too.
[19:04] <django_> ChibaPet, sorry?
[19:04] <daftykins> !efi | mattia read here for more background
[19:04] <speedy__> TJ-,  do i need to use the "" in the command like you do?
[19:05] <TJ-> speedy__: no, I use to the make clear what is my commentary, and what is a command
[19:05] <ChibaPet> django_: From within the screen you want to kill, control-a and then the '\' key
[19:05] <mattia> right. I'm reading...
[19:05] <jedix> TJ-: yeah
[19:05] <django_> ohh i did: ctrl a + :quit
[19:05] <speedy__> TJ-,  do i need to use the "" in the command like you do?
[19:05] <django_> works :d
[19:05] <TJ-> speedy__: no
[19:05] <speedy__> TJ-,  /home/ubuntu/buildme/spigotserver rm -rf world
[19:05] <speedy__> -bash: /home/ubuntu/buildme/spigotserver: Is a directory   :/
[19:06] <speedy__> Permission denied TJ-
[19:06] <jedix> TJ-: $ echo suspend >| /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb3/3-2/power/control
[19:06] <jedix> echo: write error: invalid argument
[19:07] <le_pig> is it possible to install a package like ubuntu-desktop, including recommended packages, but excluding specific recommended packages, like shotwell or aisleriot?
[19:08] <daftykins> just remove them after?
[19:08] <daftykins> otherwise don't use the meta package
[19:09] <genii> Otherwise, make a task and use tasksel
[19:09] <le_pig> daftykins: good point. in my case, i'm automating the installation of systems, so i suppose i could break it out into some shell logic to query apt-cache and iterate through those i don't want.
[19:10] <le_pig> daftykins: i'm overthinking it.  thank you. :)
[19:10] <daftykins> le_pig: why not just query the contents of the meta-package and list to install all the components you do want? :>
[19:10] <mattia> Right. I have a question about intel smart response: I use a SSD as a cache for windows. There will be problems after installing ubuntu?
[19:10] <le_pig> daftykins: excellent idea, and easier than the convrse.  thank you again :)
[19:11] <daftykins> mattia: there'll be problems even trying to install probably
[19:11] <mattia> yep... That's encouraging...
[19:12] <daftykins> mattia: what's your SATA set to inside your BIOS?
[19:12] <EriC^^> le_pig: the meta-package is better to be installed
[19:12] <snowstorm> does anyone knows about lost of surround sound through hdmi with Radeon HD 7700/7800 Series after Ubuntu 14.04 LTS latest update done few days ago?
[19:13] <daftykins> snowstorm: nope, details?
[19:13] <EriC^^> i guess you could do as you said, or maybe install using --no-install-recommends and add the remaining or something
[19:13] <EriC^^> le_pig: ^ , cause apt-cache show ubuntu-desktop says it's required for upgrades and what not
[19:14] <snowstorm> surround used to play ok before last update, now all I have is Digital Stereo over HDMI
[19:14] <speedy__> http://pastebin.com/C7hs0Swx -_- some folders and files are revolting again me! so how do i remove them ?
[19:15] <daftykins> snowstorm: are you talking about an actual surround sound stream, such as dolby digital or DTS?
[19:15] <mattia> ? You mean SATA revision?
[19:16] <daftykins> no i do not
[19:16] <snowstorm> •daftykins• yeah, like playing video through VLC.
[19:16] <daftykins> snowstorm: sounds more like passthrough got turned off.
[19:17] <le_pig> Eric^^: i see. i hadn't considered that complication.  since i'm using a kickstart to automate these, perhaps i'll just follow the metapackage isntall with a purge for the few i don't want.  thank you for the clarification.
[19:17] <snowstorm> •daftykins• any idea on how I can get this fixed?
[19:18] <daftykins> snowstorm: check VLCs config, i don't use it so i can't help you.
[19:18] <EriC^^> le_pig: ok, no problem
[19:21] <jedix> TJ-: I got someone there to remove and insert the usb device
[19:21] <snowstorm> •daftykins• You got it. I wonder why it would change to 2.0 when doing updates..... Thanks anyway
[19:22] <fox-catch> daftykins:  how do I fix it?
[19:23] <daftykins> fox-catch: did you get that PHP via a PPA? it might ruin it of so.
[19:23] <daftykins> *if so
[19:23] <eluus> BluesKaj: it looks like this is a common problem https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92102
[19:23] <fox-catch> daftykins: yeah
[19:23] <fox-catch> odejref something
[19:24] <daftykins> fox-catch: then that's probably ruining it, why do you need a newer PHP?
[19:24] <mattia> Instead of installing ubuntu alongside windows in UEFI, what if I change the boot mode in Legacy and install windows first and then ubuntu?
[19:25] <daftykins> mattia: there's no reason to move to legacy, just learn how to install properly
[19:25] <fox-catch> daftykins: so that I can run php server with php -S
[19:26] <fox-catch> daftykins: also it has already ruined it. So I don't have any option but to fix it
[19:26] <mattia> ok... I'm reading.
[19:26] <daftykins> fox-catch: right but you ruined it with the PPA. try removing libapache2-mod-php5
[19:27] <fox-catch> okay
[19:27] <fox-catch> daftykins: it asks for same '-f install'
[19:28] <daftykins> it says more than that, pastebin it.
[19:28] <daftykins> including what you ran
[19:28] <fox-catch> daftykins:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/14490072/
[19:29] <pratz> hey
[19:30] <pratz> was really hoping somebdy to guide me in the programming world
[19:30] <daftykins> this is OS support, find a channel for what you want to learn to develop with
[19:30] <sruli> i have a 15.10 ubuntu-gnome VM, on each start i have to hit TAB to enter the luks pass, how can i fix this so i see the pass entry on boot without fiddling buttons?
[19:31] <daftykins> fox-catch: ok i think you installed "php5" which is pulling in all the other junk, remove that and install just what you were after - which may be a single component
[19:31] <fox-catch> daftykins: but it won't let me remove or install
[19:31] <daftykins> you're saying "sudo apt-get remove php5" does nothing?
[19:33] <fox-catch> daftykins: no it throws same error as I pasted above
[19:33] <daftykins> that doesn't make any sense
[19:34] <daftykins> fox-catch: "dpkg -l | grep php"
[19:34] <jedix> TJ-: are you still around?
[19:34] <mattia> What is the "microsoft reserved partition" in my hard drive? Can I erase it or should I keep it?
[19:35] <TJ-> jedix: yes
[19:35] <grunsch> keep it
[19:35] <fox-catch> daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14490121/
[19:35] <TJ-> jedix: was reading up on the _fascinating_ subject of USB port/device power control gymnastics :)
[19:35] <daftykins> mattia: probably part of a factory restore image, show us a proper "sudo parted -l" pastebin so we can just see the whole thing in one...
[19:36] <mattia> I can't I'm in bus right now and my pc is at home...
[19:36] <jedix> TJ-: haha
[19:36] <daftykins> fox-catch: try "sudo dpkg -r php5 php5-cli php5-common libapache2-mod-php5"
[19:36] <jedix> TJ-: the easiest way ot reset your usb device is to locate someone near the cord
[19:36] <Peaceful> Hi
[19:36] <Peaceful> How can i install older kernel in ubuntu>?
[19:36] <daftykins> mattia: ah, best not to bug us until you're actually in front of the machine in question.
[19:37] <sopadj1> hi guys! :) I have just installed ubuntu on my new laptop hp pavilion 15. the videos/movies/clips dont work properly. I have tried with both smplayer and vlc and the same problem...basically if I play a video and I set the full screen the video size does not change and blue borders appears to fill the space around the video... :( any idea?
[19:37] <thebope> Does anyone know the default Charset for Ubuntu 14.04? Is it UTF-16? I'm trying to hash a string with C# on a windows machine, and pass it in the URL parameter to my apache2 server hosted on an Ubuntu 14.04 box and I'm receiving stuff that looks like %EF%BF%BD etc etc
[19:37] <fox-catch> daftykins: it worked now?
[19:37] <mattia> Ok. I'll come back tomorrow....
[19:37] <mattia> thanks.
[19:37] <roothorick> as far as I know only Microsoft is using UTF-16 in any real capacity
[19:37] <daftykins> sopadj1: sounds like you require some graphics drivers and have not put any on... pastebin "lspci"
[19:37] <jedix> TJ-: so, I see the device come up..
[19:38] <jedix> TJ-: I see this:
[19:38] <jedix> [61702.906117] usb 3-2: New USB device found, idVendor=1131, idProduct=1001
[19:38] <jedix> [61702.906118] usb 3-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=0, SerialNumber=0
[19:38] <jedix> [61702.906186] usb 3-2: no configuration chosen from 0 choices
[19:38] <daftykins> fox-catch: so i think adding a PPA then trying to use ubuntu's metapackage of 'php5' was the mistake there.
[19:38] <jedix> not sure what the last line is about..
[19:38] <TJ-> jedix: there's actually a node for each USB device, "authorized" which can be set to 0 (false) or 1 (true) to achieve the same ends
[19:38] <fox-catch> daftykins: aha, but now how I go to install php 5.6
[19:38] <TJ-> !paste | jedix copy the output to a pastebin please
[19:39] <sopadj1> daftykins, http://pastebin.com/mixduuJY
[19:39] <jedix> TJ-: sorry, I generally do for > 3 lines..
[19:39] <TJ-> jedix: "no configuration chosen from 0 choices" ... might suggest a problem
[19:39] <daftykins> fox-catch: sorry, i don't fancy tackling that one on 12.04.
[19:40] <TJ-> jedix: although, I'd have thought the class driver would take care of that later. If there's no hint of the btusb module 'claiming' that device I would think there's something else in the device's alias stopping the match
[19:41] <jedix> TJ-: btusb is loaded
[19:41] <Peaceful> How can i install older kernel in ubuntu>?
[19:41] <daftykins> Peaceful: how old? generally it's not a good idea.
[19:41] <Peaceful> daftykins: 3.13
[19:41] <fox-catch> daftykins:  :(
[19:42] <fox-catch> okay
[19:42] <daftykins> Peaceful: on what version?
[19:42] <Peaceful> daftykins: 15.10
[19:42] <daftykins> nope that's not wise, what are you trying to achieve?
[19:42] <Peaceful> daftykins: i just need to know how to install it
[19:42] <sopadj1> daftykins, and http://pastebin.com/a1q6PuMp
[19:43] <daftykins> Peaceful: if you explain what you're trying to achieve we might be able to explain the sensible approach.
[19:43] <Peaceful> daftykins: i just need to know how to install older kernel ;) what commands? ;)
[19:43] <daftykins> sopadj1: ah ok intel only. what did you install, 15.10 ?
[19:44] <daftykins> Peaceful: ok, you're unable to answer a simple direct question - no it's not advisable, so i'm not answering.
[19:44] <sopadj1> daftykins, yes 15.10
[19:44] <sopadj1> daftykins, xubuntu 15.10
[19:44] <Peaceful> daftykins: that's not what im asking for
[19:44] <Peaceful> I dont care if it's wise or advisable i need to know how to install kernel on ubuntu
[19:45] <daftykins> Peaceful: what you're trying to do is wrong, so i won't help.
[19:45] <Peaceful> daftykins: nothing is wrong in open source world
[19:45] <daftykins> yes, yes it is.
[19:46] <daftykins> sopadj1: hmm well if you're fully updated there shouldn't really be any driver issues with intel only
[19:46] <sopadj1> daftykins, this is what I think and it makes me a bit concerned
[19:46] <daftykins> could be a xubuntu thing
[19:46] <Peaceful> daftykins: i dont want to argue with you. im not asking if it is wrong i only need to know how.
[19:47] <Peaceful> i have done lot of wrong things in life
[19:47] <daftykins> Peaceful: that's nice, but it's still not happening.
[19:47] <Peaceful> daftykins: or you dont know how to do it/
[19:47] <flux242> Peaceful: what kernel version you want?
[19:47] <Peaceful> flux242: 3.13
[19:47] <daftykins> i refuse to give bad advice
[19:48] <Peaceful> its not about advie
[19:48] <daftykins> this is a support channel so yeah, it is
[19:48] <Peaceful> daftykins: i like to test, learn and do whatever i want with my laptop
[19:48] <daftykins> that's nice, dear.
[19:48] <flux242> Peaceful: take your kernel from mainline http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
[19:48] <daftykins> i'm ignoring you now so you don't keep ranting on
[19:48] <TJ-> jedix: btusb may be loaded but it should also indicate if, when a device is attached, it claims it. We can enable some BT_DBG() macros in the module via the kernel's dynamic_debug control though, which may help us see how far processing in the module gets
[19:48] <Peaceful> daftykins: i dont mind if you ignore me ;)
[19:49] <Peaceful> flux242: is that the only way to get kernel?
[19:49] <flux242> you compile one
[19:49] <daftykins> that's the worst advice.
[19:49] <TJ-> jedix: let's check there's something there to enable first. "pastebinit <( sudo grep 'btusb\.c' /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control )"
[19:49] <sopadj1> daftykins, I will try https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads
[19:49] <Peaceful> daftykins: im not asking for advice
[19:49] <daftykins> sopadj1: no don't, that won't work
[19:49] <Peaceful> Im asking for how-to ;0
[19:49] <daftykins> Peaceful: i'm not talking to you, stop messaging me now.
[19:49] <TJ-> !mainline | Peaceful
[19:50] <sopadj1> daftykins, ah... ok :) any suggestion?
[19:50] <Peaceful> daftykins: oops
[19:50] <akik> Peaceful: "dpkg -x" can be used to unpack a deb file
[19:50] <Peaceful> daftykins: offense is a bad thing
[19:50] <Peaceful> akik: okay thanks
[19:50] <daftykins> sopadj1: just to be sure i'd prefer to see the full "lspci" output
[19:50] <Peaceful> i think ill be fine
[19:52] <sopadj1> daftykins, http://pastebin.com/gsT5K6v1
[19:52] <daftykins> ok yep definitely intel only
[19:55] <daftykins> sopadj1: in VLC does the source video change the effect? are you double clicking to fullscreen?
[19:55] <TJ-> jedix: if there are debug sites available then do "echo 'module btusb +pflm' | sudo dd of=/sys/kernel/dynamic_debug/control" and then re-attach the device and watch kern.log
[19:57] <sopadj1> daftykins, both in smplayer and vlc, neither with F nor with doubleclick it works
[19:57] <TJ-> jedix: bah, typo again! "echo 'module btusb +pflm' | sudo dd of=/sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control" and then re-attach the device and watch kern.log
[19:58] <daftykins> sopadj1: anything relevant from "dmesg | tail" ; at the end of /var/log/Xorg.0.log or /var/kern.log whilst one of these videos is fullscreen?
[20:01] <sopadj1> daftykins, no
[20:02] <sopadj1> daftykins, from the pastebin I sent you, can you tell me if the drivers are loaded or not?
[20:02] <Bent0> Im outputting some like so "command > /var/log/error.log" but when I delete error.log no new error.log is created when the program outputs more text/ Any way around this?
[20:03] <daftykins> sopadj1: /var/log/Xorg.0.log would say
[20:03] <daftykins> Bent0: don't delete it; or 'touch' the file after to recreate
[20:04] <Bent0> I am gzipping the file after a week so it doesnt become too large thats why its deleted
[20:04] <sopadj1> daftykins, http://pastebin.com/WUxJP80r
[20:04] <Bent0> creating a new file doesnt work daftykins
[20:05] <TJ-> Bent0: you should use logrotate
[20:05] <llldino> Bent0, Are you running the command non-privileged? By default you don't have permission to write to /var/log
[20:05] <Bent0> as root
[20:06] <daftykins> sopadj1: yep it's fine, that's me out of ideas - i would test a full ubuntu live session with the same video.
[20:06] <snowstorm> what would be the best alternative to make backup of ubuntu (like symantec norton ghost)
[20:07] <sopadj1> daftykins, yes me too coulndt find anything
[20:07] <llldino> snowstorm, I use rsync for incremental backups, and tar for archived ones
[20:07] <daftykins> snowstorm: didn't you ask this yesterday? clonezilla
[20:08] <sopadj1> daftykins, is there any way to reinstall the drivers?
[20:08] <Bent0> TJ-:  logrotate would just create new file but it isnt populated
[20:08] <snowstorm> daftkins: no, not me
[20:08] <daftykins> sopadj1: that's not the answer, this isn't Windows.
[20:09] <sopadj1> daftykins, eheh I dont use windows
[20:09] <lotuspsychje> !backup | snowstorm
[20:09] <jedix> TJ-: http://pastebin.com/EJcmPQvR
[20:10] <daftykins> sopadj1: nevermind you missed the point :P apparently VLC has a output choice in preferences -> video which might help
[20:10] <snowstorm> !sbackup
[20:10] <bgr_> hi

[20:10] <snowstorm> !automate

[20:13] <talv> hey guys
[20:13] <TJ-> jedix: great :) so enable it as I showed with my 2nd, corrected typo, command. Here's an example of what to expect in kern.log when the device connects (this example device is NOT a USB Bluetooth class device) http://paste.ubuntu.com/14490432/
[20:13] <talv> ive just got a new dell 7710
[20:14] <jedix> TJ-: that command doens't return :/
[20:14] <TJ-> jedix: did you type mismatched quotes? (I use those to enclose a command line only)
[20:14] <sopadj1> daftykins, thanks!!!!!!!! it is working now...I changed from default to X11 in both vlc and smplayer and now it is working. the problem so was the unsupported default video output
[20:14] <daftykins> sopadj1: cool - i got that from google
[20:14] <jedix> TJ-: $ echo 'module btusb +pflm' | sudo dd of=/sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control
[20:14] <jedix> just sits there.
[20:14] <talv> which has 2x m2 ssd's and 1x normal ssd, trying to install ubuntu onto the 1tb with win 10 on one of the m2's. The ubuntu installer can't see the m2 ssd's though any idea on how i can get it to pick them up??
[20:15] <talv> im in the live installer now
[20:15] <talv> tried fdisk -l and only seeing the 1tb
[20:15] <TJ-> jedix: waiting for you to type a sudo password?
[20:15] <talv> the bios picks up all 3 disks
[20:15] <daftykins> talv: check what model they are in Windows - i suspect they're NVMe devices
[20:15] <TJ-> jedix: I did it here "echo 'module btusb +pflm' | sudo dd of=/sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control " and it works
[20:15] <jedix> TJ-: negative, sudo ls works
[20:15] <talv> @daftykins what does that mean if they are?
[20:15] <TJ-> jedix: try pressing Ctrl+C and try again
[20:16] <jedix> yeah..
[20:16] <daftykins> talv: that they use a different protocol so more work will be needed.
[20:16] <sopadj1> daftykins, :) thanks to you anyway :)
[20:16] <jedix> I'm going to try sudo;echo >/..
[20:16] <TJ-> jedix: good plan!
[20:16] <jedix> TJ-: might be my shell (zsh)
[20:17] <talv> @daftykins okay before i log out and check can you give me some direction if they are?
[20:17] <zippo^> How can I install: Adobe Flash Player?
[20:17] <lerner> EriC^^, yesterday you helped me to fix username issues. During that, you pasted a command to change me hostname. Can you paste it again?
[20:17] <daftykins> talv: no - someone else might.
[20:17] <shibboleth> zippo^, DONT!
[20:17] <zippo^> sorry, bad channel. i will write on ubuntu-mate
[20:17] <zippo^> why no, sh?
[20:17] <zippo^> shibboleth,
[20:17] <shibboleth> flash will kill you
[20:17] <EriC^^> lerner: sudo nano /etc/hosts , and sudo nano /etc/hostname
[20:17] <nicomachus> zippo^: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
[20:17] <talv> @daftykins appreciate your help so far anyway! I'm sure ill be back here shortly!
[20:17] <daftykins> !fud | shibboleth
[20:17] <zippo^> ok thx nicomachus
[20:17] <shibboleth> well, flash will allow other to prey on you
[20:18] <daftykins> shibboleth: stop.
[20:18] <shibboleth> ok, ok
[20:18] <zippo^> what is a problem with flash, shibboleth ? Why do you think that kills me?
[20:18] <lotuspsychje> zippo^: try chromium-browser with pepperflash
[20:18] <lerner> EriC^^, whats the difference between those 2 commands and hostnamectl?
[20:18] <shibboleth> Can I reference the number of flash vulnerabilities for 2015 or will that be considered FUD?
[20:20] <TJ-> shibboleth: providing security context information is fine; but you started off sounding over-dramatic
[20:20] <jedix> TJ-: hmm, now to reset..
[20:20] <TJ-> jedix: remote hands again? :D
[20:20] <jedix> hehe
[20:20] <zippo^> thx but my preferring is Firefox, sorry lotuspsychje
[20:20] <shibboleth> https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-53/product_id-6761/Adobe-Flash-Player.html
[20:20] <shibboleth> zippo^, ^
[20:21] <TheWarlord> hey!
[20:21] <lotuspsychje> zippo^: adobe flash on firefox isnt recommended anymore
[20:21] <TheWarlord> ikr
[20:21] <TJ-> jedix: From experience I know there were some regressions introduced into the BT core around kernel v3.2 or so (I forget exactly) which made some devices fail - the one I used here as an example is one-such
[20:21] <shibboleth> *flash* is not recommended anymore...
[20:21] <TheWarlord> ye
[20:21] <shibboleth> at all
[20:21] <TheWarlord> ik
[20:21] <nicomachus> TheWarlord: do you have a support question?
[20:21] <TheWarlord> No why?
[20:21] <EriC^^> lerner: seems hostnamectl changes those and others, or less
[20:22] <EriC^^> never used it before
[20:22] <shibboleth> zippo^, and that whole first page is just for *part of december*
[20:22] <lerner> ok :D
[20:22] <lerner> thanks
[20:22] <nicomachus> TheWarlord: please spam random things elsewhere then. This is support channel only.
[20:22] <jedix> TJ-: perhaps I should just build my own kernel
[20:22] <EriC^^> np :D
[20:22] <jedix> 4.4!
[20:22] <zippo^> I see adobe flash player works great on Firefox now after nicomachus has give me tips. I see normal , shibboleth
[20:22] <zippo^> nothing special
[20:23] <jedix> TJ-: no remote hands right now
[20:23] <TJ-> !mainline | jedix: It's in the mainline repos
[20:23] <crispy_beef> Hey, has anybody had an issue with both grub-pc and update-initramfs freezing during upgrades? Having this issue on a machine now that has never had a problem before. Currently 15.04.
[20:24] <lotuspsychje> crispy_beef: you might wanna consider another ubuntu versions as 15.04 is about to eol
[20:24] <daftykins> you have 17 days left of 15.04 ;)
[20:24] <crispy_beef> lotuspsychje, the upgrades were in prep to go to 15.10 :)
[20:24] <jedix> TJ-: no trusty there..
[20:24] <jedix> not for 4.4
[20:25] <jedix> v3.14.58-trusty is the latest
[20:25] <daftykins> *13
[20:25] <lotuspsychje> crispy_beef: clean install to the rescue :p
[20:26] <crispy_beef> lotuspsychje, would prefer not to have to rig work env again, encrypted disks and LVM etc. etc.
[20:26] <nicomachus> jedix: I missed the earlier parts of your conversation, but 4.4 will be LTS for 16.04, which is released in April. the 4.4 kernel was just released like 2-3 days ago.
[20:27] <TJ-> jedix: you could try that "echo 0|1 > /sys/bus/usb/.../authorized" trick to disable/enable the device. As for the kernel versions, v4.4-wily is fine for testing trusty. It'll eventually be an LTS option
[20:27] <jedix> nicomachus: yeah, looking for a newer kernel to get around a bt adapter issue..
[20:28] <TJ-> jedix: I doubt the newer kernel will help; there's something going on there more than a simple driver issue. I'm on v4.4 and the btusb module is claiming the same aliases
[20:29] <jedix> TJ-: ..now I can't fidn the sys/bus of the device
[20:29] <libman> Couldn't get nvidia-352 working on Ubuntu 15.10.  lspci: "01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM108M [GeForce 940M] (rev a2)" and "00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Sky Lake Integrated Graphics (rev 07)".  http://libman.org/tmp/20160111-nvidia-bug-report.log.gz  http://hp.com/go/15e31
[20:30] <lotuspsychje> libman: did you install nvidia-prime?
[20:30] <devman> whats up
[20:30] <TJ-> jedix: how about "F=$(grep 1131 /sys/bus/usb/devices/[1-9]*/idVendor); [ -n "$F" ] && P=${F%%/idVendor*}; D=${P%%/*}; echo found at $P;"
[20:30] <daftykins> libman: so nvidia optimus setup, you need to install the intel update offered by the additional drivers util also
[20:31] <jedix> $ grep 1131 /sys/bus/usb/devices/*/idVendor
 $
[20:31] <jedix> -perhaps I should wait to be next to the machine.
[20:33] <libman> lotuspsychje:  I think at one point I installed it.  I wanted to make sure this hardware is known to work, and if I'm using the ideal Nvidia driver version before giving it another try.
[20:33] <lotuspsychje> libman: if your card is optimus, you need nvidia-prime...
[20:33] <django_> hey all
[20:33] <django_> whic is the best GUI for woring with github
[20:33] <libman> I run a very minimalist Ubuntu desktop with i3wm, and for some reason nvidia-prime depends on Unity and a zillion other packages I spend a lot of time scraping off after a fresh Ubuntu install....  8-)
[20:34] <jedix> TJ-: something I did removed the device, it's gone now
[20:34] <jedix> going to reboot it
[20:34] <TJ-> jedix: The important thing is, can yo make it reappear ?
[20:34] <lotuspsychje> libman: nvidia-prime isnt unity related only
[20:35] <daftykins> libman: ah yeah you're going to have fun with that, the nvidia drivers depend on lightdm i believe
[20:35] <libman> Is me needing nvidia-prime a fact based on the above lspci output?  What other info do I need to provide to determine what I need for sure?
[20:35] <daftykins> you might have to run intel only if you insist on that setup
[20:35] <Pici> libman: I assume you're installing it via the cli, next time try to --no-install-recommends apt-get
[20:35] <andybrine> Just out of interest has anyone found when on a Skype call, it cuts out the wireless connection?
[20:35] <libman> Bah, I uninstall lightdm and all that.  startx FTW.  :-P
[20:35] <daftykins> libman: yes a hybrid setup with intel + nvidia in a laptop = nvidia-prime needed if you intend to use the nvidia chip
[20:36] <daftykins> libman: ridiculous.
[20:36] <daftykins> intel only for you then, maybe you should blacklist nouveau and leave it be
[20:36] <lotuspsychje> libman: we have tons of users with screen issues without nvidia-prime and latest 352 driver
[20:36] <daftykins> unless it works fine as-is
[20:36] <libman> Is this lightdm dependency specific to Ubuntu?  Would it be different on FreeBSD?
[20:37] <jedix> TJ-: it's back, but I had to reboot the server.. so that setting is probably gone.
[20:37] <lotuspsychje> libman: so lower driver version + nvidia-prime + performance mode is very recommended
[20:37] <daftykins> libman: it's an nvidia requirement
[20:37] <libman> I'm not a gamer, the only reason I'm unhappy without Nvidia driver is vlc / mplayer refuse to scale smaller videos to full screen.  1080p videos play fine.
[20:37] <qweutzan10> Moo
[20:38] <daftykins> you don't need the nvidia driver for that
[20:38] <TJ-> jedix: OK, I trust you have saved the commands you need to re-enable the dynamic_debug etc. ?
[20:40] <TJ-> jedix: I'm going to be away for a while but drop a pastebin link once you've collected the dyn/debug from kern.log and I'll look when I return
[20:41] <libman> How can I force software scaling to play smaller videos full screen?
[20:41] <daftykins> check the output type in preferences
[20:41] <libman> (I don't mean software scaling necessarily, I mean how to I get full screen video without proprietary nvidia drivers.)
[20:41] <daftykins> someone else just had skylake causing an issue with fullscreen video, that may be the same sort of thing
[20:44] <encinas> HOLA
[20:44] <chowdri> Hi, learning to use IRC.
[20:44] <mtilhan> Hi, I am using Ubuntu 14.04 fully updated (at its repos), and while I was trying to change some settings for my unity-greeter / lightdm, after a reboot I lost my shortcuts. I mean they seemed configured, but they don't work. I deleted .gconf, tried customized shortcut but nothing did the trick. Any idea how to solve it?
[20:47] <mtilhan> No idea?
[20:47] <libman> I didn't fully understand what you said about nvidia version numbers.  Is 352 ideal for me?  (With Ubuntu 15.10, 4.2.0-23-generic kernel.)
[20:50] <lotuspsychje> libman: we have many users that have better system with 340 or 346
[20:50] <lotuspsychje> libman: with nvidia-prime installed
[20:50] <lotuspsychje> libman: check your additional drivers list
[20:54] <mtilhan> cmode
[20:59] <mtilhan> Hi, I am using Ubuntu 14.04 fully updated (at its repos), and while I was trying to change some settings for my unity-greeter / lightdm, after a reboot I lost my shortcuts. I mean they seemed configured, but they don't work. I deleted .gconf, tried customized shortcut but nothing did the trick. Any idea how to solve it?
[21:05] <egonsen> hi. i installed the meta package kubuntu-desktop. how can i remove it with all the files installed with this package?
[21:06] <llldino> sudo apt-get autoremove --purge kubuntu-desktop
[21:08] <lotuspsychje> mtilhan: what king of changes did you do on greeter and lightdm exactly?
[21:08] <lotuspsychje> kind
[21:08] <egonsen> llldino, it says "After this operation, 41,0 kB disk space will be freed.". all those files have far more than 41 kb so this can't be right
[21:10] <llldino> egonsen, How long have you been using kubuntu-desktop? It's possible other programs rely on packages that kubuntu-desktop installed, and therefore are not marked for deletion with autoremove
[21:11] <rww> don't metapackage depends get marked as manually installed if the metapackage is removed?
[21:11] <nicomachus> yes
[21:12] <egonsen> llldino, one or two days. i forgot to mention that i remved kubuntu-desktop via 'apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop'. i just reinstalled it and used the autoremove purge thing. guess it's too late if rww is right
[21:13] <mtilhan> lotuspsychje: first i installed lightdm-webkit-greeter but couldn't activate it, actually when I create an /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf file and reboot OS stuck at low graphic error. Then I gave up on webkit and installed Ubuntu-tweaks and changed my login screen wallpaper,draw grids etc. However, I couldn't set it so my user background and my user login background won't be same so I opened dconf and changed that. After reboot, nothing
[21:15] <mtilhan> I use Window + L for lock, it seemed worked. So I tried to open my terminal but it didn't respond, I checked and it was configured already for alt+ctrl+t but it wasn't working also new customized shortcut didn't worked and I noticed a few more shortcuts weren't working like media buttons etc.
[21:16] <code2be> Can I ask about something related to iptables ?
[21:16] <teward> code2be: as long as it's within the scope of Ubuntu stuff, i think so
[21:16] <teward> code2be: anything Ubuntu related (iptables, etc. included) is on topic here.  But you have to ask a real question :)
[21:16] <llldino> egonsen, If autoremove won't touch it, you can get the package list of kubuntu-desktop here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/kubuntu-desktop
[21:17] <code2be> teward, OK :), It is simply about recent module, as rcheck not working for me as expected, it work the same as update !
[21:17] <llldino> egonsen, And then using a program like synaptics, very carefully go through the list and remove the ones that don't have any dependants
[21:17] <teward> code2be: you may not be able to get hyperspecialized support here, though; you may go unanswered, so you may wish to also post on askubuntu.com or ubuntuforums.org as well, but that's your choice.
[21:18] <llldino> Or you can just be like me and pretend I never installed it :x
[21:18] <code2be> OK, Thanks teward
[21:19] <lotuspsychje> mtilhan: ubuntu-tweak is ppa's based and not officially suported mate
[21:19] <lotuspsychje> code2be: also try the #netfilter guys
[21:20] <mtilhan> lotuspsycje: yeah I noticed, but seemed easier to use GUI instead of dconf :/ As I am looking at dconf-editor org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys are not working.
[21:22] <lotuspsychje> mtilhan: can this help? http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014/04/ubuntu-14-04-change-login-screen-background-remove-the-white-dots/
[21:22] <egonsen> llldino, is there a command to get the list of packages that were newly installed with the meta package? i could use that list with apt-get remove then and thus woudn't have to deete all those packages manually
[21:23] <Guest22006> hi, guys, i have another computer that i have been going back and forth with. It's a 8 yr old pc pavilion dv 2000 that I can't seem to get the right sound driver for.  I think it uses conexant. Can anyone help me?
[21:24] <Guest22006> I have put linux on it once. It's sound will come on for a few days, but off after that. The basic drivers offered don't seem to stick.
[21:24] <lotuspsychje> Guest22006: wich ubuntu version please
[21:25] <mtilhan_> sorry I found the solution, seems like it is deactivated but when I click to active at dconf for media-shortcuts it relogged and seems ok now.
[21:25] <Guest22006> linux lite  does ubuntu work better with that?
[21:25] <lotuspsychje> !yay | mtilhan_
[21:25] <lotuspsychje> Guest22006: only ubuntu support here mate
[21:25] <lotuspsychje> Guest22006: and we recommend to use ubuntu yes
[21:26] <Guest22006> ya well no one over on linux lite channel. Does ubuntu support some of those older drivers?
[21:26] <lotuspsychje> Guest22006: maybe something lightweight and LTS might do the trick for you, lubuntu or xubuntu
[21:27] <Guest22006> I tried xubuntu  but it does the same. Lubuntu any different?
[21:27] <Ben64> Guest22006: come in here with the actual issue and maybe it can be fixed
[21:27] <lotuspsychje> Guest22006: driverwise it should act the same
[21:27] <Guest22006> same as ubuntu?
[21:27] <llldino> egonsen, You can check /var/log/apt/history.log and go back and see which packages were installed I think
[21:28] <Guest22006> Well, I've tried a ton of online help with sound on xubuntu and linux lite to no avail.
[21:28] <lotuspsychje> Guest22006: see what Ben64 suggest, install one, and come with the exact issue to this channel
[21:28] <llldino> egonsen, I would still check and make sure you have no dependants because manually removing packages is risky business
[21:29] <Guest22006> ok what should I install?
[21:29] <lotuspsychje> Guest22006: depends on your flavors and your system
[21:29] <lotuspsychje> !flavors | Guest22006
[21:30] <lotuspsychje> Guest22006: personaly i would try lubuntu or xubuntu 14.04.3
[21:30] <Guest22006> ok guys will try. So i can come in with it here and you can try to help?
[21:31] <lotuspsychje> Guest22006: if volunteers are awake when you ask, you can get helped yes
[21:31] <Guest22006> hahahaha o dear. ok thanks soooo much!
[21:31] <lotuspsychje> Guest22006: good luck!
[21:32] <Guest22006> thanks
[21:34] <Jordan_U> crispy_beef: Please pastebin the exact output from "sudo apt-get upgrade", or whichever command you are seeing the "freezing" from.
[21:35] <radick> hi all..
[21:35] <radick> how are you?
[21:35] <dodalovic> Hi, guys, anyone available to help me fix some ubuntu issue ?
[21:35] <radick> i'm new to ubuntu
[21:36] <cfedde> dodalovic: whats' the issue?
[21:36] <dodalovic> I've got Lenovo w540 laptop, running ubuntu mate 15.10
[21:37] <dodalovic> font scaling is really bad
[21:37] <speedy__> http://pastebin.com/C7hs0Swx -_- some folders and files are revolting again me! so how do i remove them ?
[21:37] <crispy_beef> Jordan_U, not much to it, gets to "update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.2.x-xx-generic" and that is it. Have to then kill off dpkg and apt-get and use fuser to get dpkg --configure going.
[21:37] <dodalovic> like Chrome font size is ridicilously small
[21:37] <zzking> #ubuntustudio
[21:38] <arcsky> in resolv.conf there is search domain.test . is that dns suffix ? or what dhcp option is that ?
[21:38] <cfedde> dodalovic: 4k monitor?
[21:38] <crispy_beef> Jordan_U, right now playing a dangerous game; have purged grub-pc and all inux-images so I can upgrade all packages. Will then concentrate on the kernel and grub
[21:39] <Jordan_U> crispy_beef: Please pastebin the output of "sudo update-initramfs -u -v".
[21:39] <cfedde> dodalovic: there are some scaling things that you can do in the display control.  It's a bit of a pain and some apps insist on doing their own thing. In the browser I typically <ctl>-+ to "zoom in"
[21:40] <dodalovic> cfedde: did that, but this is really annoying
[21:42] <zippo^> Which notepad application is the default in Unity?
[21:42] <zippo^> (gedit or pluma or another?)
[21:43] <Jordan_U> zippo^: In a default install of Ubuntu, Gedit is the default text editor.
[21:43] <zippo^> okee
[21:45] <mtilhan> is there a way to change the name that displays on login screen/greeter something different than my username. i want my username to be same but just change the name on login screen.
[21:45] <daftykins> i think you can hide it, which is more preferable
[21:46] <mtilhan> there is multiple accounts on my computer and hide may not be the best option.
[21:49] <bekks> mtilhan: different users have different usernames.
[21:50] <libman> Installed nvidia-352 and nvidia-prime again.  Restarted.  Same problems as before.  LightDM gives flickering blank screen.  Restarted in recovery mode, `systemctl disable`d LightDM.  startx => blank screen.  Ran `nvidia-xconfig`.  startx => blank screen.
[21:50] <bekks> mtilhan: And for every username, you can specify the same real name..
[21:50] <libman> Ctrl-Alt-F#, `pkill xinit; sudo lighdm` => "/etc/modprobe.d is not a file" (x4), "update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for x86_64-linux-gnu_gfxcore_conf"
[21:52] <d3rp> Is anyone here familiar with Jmicron Ethernet and Ubuntu 15.10?
[21:52] <TJ-> mtilhan: with lightdm I seem to recall that can be configured under /var/lib/lightdm-data/$USER/ - but its a long time since I messed with that
[21:52] <daftykins> d3rp: what's the actual question?
[21:52] <d3rp> yes
[21:52] <d3rp> uhm
[21:53] <Loshki> arcsky: http://www.shellhacks.com/en/Setup-DNS-Resolution-With-resolvconf-in-Examples
[21:53] <MonkeyDust> d3rp  this guy seems to have solved it http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2217661
[21:53] <d3rp> I've been having issues with the driver (?) or maybe not, it
[21:53] <fripao> cioa
[21:53] <zzking> anybody can help with ubuntustudio?
[21:53] <d3rp> it's plugged in and it read that the driver is in use, but the network manager states it being disconnected
[21:54] <mtilhan> bekks: so can I have two names for my account on this pc? one for just display at login and one for terminal, ssh the real username?
[21:54] <d3rp> It could also be VMBox because it renamed Eth0 to ens5f5
[21:54] <libman> I don't even want LightDM.   Can't I just login and run startx? In the past, doing this hasn't worked, because the greeter seems to have some interaction with dbus that makes sound not work. Anyone else experience this?
[21:57] <daftykins> no startx isn't supported
[21:57] <ChibaPet> Loshki: You can use xdm if you want.
[21:57] <ChibaPet> Loshki: and there's startx available.
[21:58] <daftykins> libman: none of your steps are really supported - and as mentioned you needed to install the intel update the additional drivers program offers in addition to an nvidia driver with nvidia-prime
[21:58] <libman> I always uninstalled *dm and used startx and something like i3wm, but now apparently now Ubuntu forces you to use LightDM to play full screen video on Nvidia...
[21:58] <ChibaPet> Loshki: install the xinit package if you want it
[21:58] <Loshki> I don't really need a DM at all, but an undocumented dependency on dbus is a modest bug, IMO.
[21:58] <libman> Install the Intel update?  What?  Where?
[21:58] <ChibaPet> Loshki: then use startx, or a simpler one like xdm. I run xdm on my laptop right now.
[21:59] <ChibaPet> Loshki: Caveat, this is 14.04. Maybe they are no longer available in newer releases, although that would be surprising.
[21:59] <daftykins> libman: no, nvidia themselves dev their driver as depending on lightdm - at least blame the correct party.
[22:01] <Loshki> A video driver that depends on which DM you used to login? Does no-one else think that's so wrong?
[22:02] <libman> Nevermind the last error, I should use `sudo service restart lightdm` instead of `sudo lightdm`.  That gets me the flickering blank screen again.  What do I do?
[22:03] <rocky> hey everyone. I got a problem which I want some help resolving. I am running ubuntu 14.04 in virtualbox and before the GUI shows it says my system is running in low graphics mode. I have been running ubuntu a few weeks with no problem just to randomly get this happen yesterday.
[22:04] <rocky> I have tried a few basic commands in the terminal using ctrl alt f1 like updating, upgrading but no luck, same error. any suggestions please?
[22:04] <daftykins> rocky: sounds like the vboxdrv graphics module can't be loaded.
[22:05] <Jordan_U> rocky: Did you install the virtualbox guest additions, and if so how?
[22:05] <daftykins> reinstall the virtualbox packages
[22:05] <ChibaPet> bbl all
[22:05] <rocky> yeah, did it through the terminal back when I installed it
[22:06] <daftykins> rocky: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && dpkg -l | grep virtual | pastebinit
[22:06] <Jordan_U> rocky: What commands did you run exactly? Saying that you did it "through the terminal" doesn't really tell us much.
[22:08] <rocky> I honestly can't remember. It was annoying as I didn't know why the screen was so small inside virtualbox and so I had to follow a youtube video which told me to install the guest additions. I might be able to remember the video I watched hang on
[22:08] <daftykins> just run what i pointed out
[22:08] <speedy__> http://pastebin.com/C7hs0Swx -_- some folders and files are revolting again me! so how do i remove them ?
[22:09] <daftykins> speedy__: because you kept typing the wrong commands
[22:09] <speedy__> i am a noob.. so please teach me
[22:09] <libman> `prime-select nvidia` doesn't change anything.   Can no longer Ctrl-Alt-F# out of failing attempt to start X, must hard-power-off...
[22:10] <speedy__> daftykins,  so what am i suppose to do to remove them?
[22:10] <llldino> sudo rm -rf /full/path/to/world
[22:10] <daftykins> "sudo rm -rf world"
[22:10] <bekks> speedy__: Why do you want to remove something you dont have permission to do so?
[22:11] <llldino> bekks, He probably used make install or something
[22:11] <daftykins> that server strikes me as an EC2 instance
[22:11] <bekks> llldino: lets not guess, and just ask him/her :)
[22:11] <speedy__> i am the server owner, so i should be able to get to what i want bekks
[22:11] <Jordan_U> speedy__: Note that you should be *very* careful any time you use rm, especially with -r, and even more so with sudo.
[22:12] <speedy__> llldino,  no i did not, i try to import a minecraft mine and it we not co=op with me
[22:12] <speedy__> Jordan_U,  what do you mean?
[22:13] <llldino> If you have write permissions, then rm -rf /full/path/to directory will delete that directory and all it's contents; if you do not have write permissions you will have to preface that command with sudo
[22:13] <speedy__> Jordan_U,  i am trying to remvove truck of file so i can run my program that calls on the folder named :wold"
[22:14] <pedrocr> I tried to set my screen to 30bit color in /etc/X11/xorg.conf but that broke unity
[22:14] <llldino> But like Jordan said, you should be careful with the rm command, and one way to be sure of what you're deleting is by typing the full path instead of just the directory
[22:14] <Jordan_U> speedy__: rm is a command which removes files. If you add "-r" then it will also remove directories and all of the files within those directories. If you accidentally mistype a path when running "rm -r" you could end up deleting a lot more than you indented, like your entire home directory.
[22:14] <pedrocr> now it won't start even if I go back to not having a xorg.conf at all
[22:14] <amunizp> hi redirected here by ubuntu-uk. I have luks encryption and at boot up it always warns me that swap1 is not mounted. then eventually mounts and logs in. is this normal?
[22:14] <pedrocr> anyone know where I can check logs to see what's happening?
[22:14] <pedrocr> this is with 14.04
[22:14] <daftykins> lol 30-bit
[22:15] <daftykins> pedrocr: pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[22:15] <speedy__> Jordan_U,  in the pastebin i want just want the "world" folder to be delelted
[22:15] <Jordan_U> speedy__: There is no "trash can" with rm, once it's gone it's gone for good*     (*OK, there are ways to maybe recover some files after they've been deleted, but it's neither easy nor reliable).
[22:15] <pedrocr> daftykins: X itself seems to be working fine as the guest session works ok
[22:15] <pedrocr> daftykins: only my normal user session is broken
[22:16] <speedy__> Jordan_U,  correct
[22:16] <daftykins> pedrocr: so then it's just your account, ok i suspect you've run sudo startx at some point and trashed it, so maybe check your home permissions for files not owned by you
[22:16] <speedy__> llldino,  i do not have them, i also used sudo and i still can not del the dir
[22:17] <daftykins> !pm | rocky
[22:17] <rocky> alright
[22:17] <bekks> speedy__: which exact command did you try for deletion?
[22:18] <pedrocr> daftykins: nothing suspicious that I can see
[22:18] <django136> Hello everyone
[22:18] <rocky> I can't find the video that showed me how to install virtualbox guest additions.
[22:18] <daftykins> rocky: so run the command i said ages ago instead
[22:18] <rocky> It was a fairly straight forward procedure from what I remember
[22:19] <speedy__> bekks, /home/ubuntu/buildme/spigotserver/world rm -rf
[22:19] <bekks> speedy__: which is not even a valid command.
[22:19] <pedrocr> daftykins: .xsession-errors does have some complaints
[22:19] <daftykins> speedy__: come on pay attention, we've told you what to run 5 times now
[22:19] <rocky> yeah I ran the command you said but I must have made a mistake because it said something like you are trying to edit a non existent file or something bare with me
[22:19] <django136> Is it possible to have multiple interfaces on an ubuntu server?
[22:19] <pedrocr> about not being able to connect to brltty and a few others
[22:19] <django136> Thanx
[22:19] <daftykins> django136: network interfaces? of course
[22:19] <bekks> django136: multiple instances of what?
[22:20] <libman> I was fine on much slower laptops with a lightweight Ubuntu i3wm setup and no proprietary drivers, but on this new laptop (i7, 16GB RAM) no video player seems to scale low-resolution videos to full screen.  (1080p videos play fine in full screen.)
[22:20] <bekks> django136: forgive me, interfaces. of course.
[22:21] <speedy__> bekks,  oh ok
[22:21] <speedy__> daftykins,  you have my ears
[22:21] <bekks> speedy__: you have been told the command to run multiple times.
[22:22] <krabbe> I have a sandisk 128GB USB stick. I fails on me during heave load. I notice that immediately after I’ve re-formatted the partition and run fsck.ext4 it tells me that it’s not valid - “Bad magic number in super-block”. Any idea about what might be wrong? Broken stick? (it’s rather new) kernel issue? I’m getting desperate.
[22:22] <django136> daftykins: bekks You guys have any tutorial that I can follow. Honestly, I am very new with networking stuff and getting overwhelmed with all the information on the interne
[22:22] <Jordan_U> libman: What happens when you try to use vlc? What about "mplayer -vo=gl" ?
[22:22] <daftykins> speedy__: well what we're after is your eyes so that you'd read the command the first time we tell you.
[22:22] <libman> Was able to `startx` (but not lighdm) after `prime-select intel`.  `nvidia-detector` says "none". `glxgears` fails with "Xlib: extension GLX missing on display :0" "Error: couldn't get an RGB, double-buffered visual".
[22:23] <Jordan_U> krabbe: Sounds like bad hardware to me.
[22:23] <speedy__> bekks, huh? what do you mean? did i run "which command " repeatly ?
[22:23] <speedy__> daftykins, you can have them too.
[22:24] <daftykins> speedy__: so like two of us said earlier "sudo rm -rf /home/ubuntu/spigotserver/world"
[22:25] <pedrocr> how annoying, all the session is fine, except for unity which no longer starts up
[22:25] <pedrocr> so no window borders and no launcher
[22:26] <daftykins> pedrocr: go into ~/.config/ and rename the compiz folders in there
[22:26] <daftykins> then try logging in as you again
[22:27] <pedrocr> daftykins: I've already nuked them completely with no effect
[22:27] <libman> Without proprietary drivers, vlc and mplayer won't scale smaller videos no matter what settings I tried.
[22:27] <daftykins> pedrocr: really? what about the whole .config ? rename it to .configold
[22:27] <krabbe> Jordan_U: Thank you for the input. How confident are you that it’s a HW issue? (the USB stick is sitting some 400 km away 20 meters into the air :(
[22:28] <daftykins> libman: i think you've just done something wrong with all your attempts so far, because the intel graphics alone should work just fine
[22:28] <Jordan_U> libman: You specifically tried "mplayer -vo=gl"?
[22:29] <speedy__> Jordan_U, llldino bekks daftykins, thank you  guys for your help!
[22:29] <pedrocr> daftykins: I lose the settings (e.g., screen background changes) but it's still broken
[22:30] <Jordan_U> krabbe: Very confident. Possibly just a bad USB cable. You could try checking the drive with smartctl on the very small chance that it's a thumb drive that supports S.M.A.R.T. . Also check dmesg, and maybe test the drive with badblocks.
[22:31] <pedrocr> .xsession-errors shows at-spi2-registryd respawning too fast and being killed
[22:31] <KaiForce> I don't think smartctl works over a USB controller...  Don't quote me on that though.
[22:32] <gama_> hola
[22:32] <k1l_> KaiForce: actually depends on the usb controller. but most dont
[22:33] <KaiForce> Cool, I've never run into one that does, but I wasn't certain they didn't exist.
[22:33] <krabbe> Jordan_U: I cannot get smartctl to work. badblocks is running now. dmesg reports a number of errors during a load-triggered crash. E.g. : “JBD2: Error -5 detected when updating journal superblock for sdb1-8.”
[22:33] <libman> Forcing gl output in any player results in no video at all.
[22:34] <KaiForce> krabbe: will you have to go there if it is dead?
[22:34] <krabbe> yes :(
[22:35] <anabain> I want to make a bash script at the server side aware of the current url the client dolphin app is at in order to be able to decide from that script if the dir is under an nfs mount (client is using autofs). In that case, the script will kill that dolphin instance. This, combined with previous identification on nfs files via lsof -N and proper handling of them, will avoid the client hanging. Any ideas? It seems there's no qdbus way to
[22:35] <anabain> get the current url for dolphin, so I need another approach.
[22:35] <krabbe> KaiForce: Therefore I’m highly appreciating you help with understanding/confirming if it is a hardware issue.
[22:36] <daftykins> sounds better for ##networking and #bash
[22:36] <daftykins> badblocks is a big fat waste of time :)
[22:36] <KaiForce> I agree with Jordan_U, it sounds like hardware.
[22:36] <daftykins> oh that was the flash drive thing, mmm
[22:37] <pedrocr> wow, this is really annoying
[22:37] <pedrocr> I've now nuked /tmp/* and ~/.ICEauthority and ~/.Xauthority with no change
[22:37] <daftykins> pedrocr: what about the .config rename i mentioned?
[22:38] <daftykins> you should also stop lightdm whilst doing this
[22:38] <pedrocr> daftykins: I replied to that, it didn't change anything
[22:39] <daftykins> pedrocr: ah, didn't see.
[22:43] <pedrocr> daftykins: ah, seems like my dconf got corrupted
[22:43] <pedrocr> daftykins: moving ~/.config/dconf/user out of the way fixes it
[22:43] <pedrocr> daftykins: so I guess moving .config to .config.old wasn't complete
[22:43] <pedrocr> it was probably not enough to do that without restarting lightdm

[22:56] <libman> Trying to get Nvidia working on Ubuntu might be the world's #1 cause of mass-murder.
[22:56] <TJ-> krabbe: how confident are you the device isn't a fake. Some of those symptoms sound like typical fake-device-is-smaller-than-it-claims-to-be issues due to wrap-around (e.g. sector 0 is also sector 64MiB) that will overwrite the early sectors as the device fills up
[22:56] <avoider> Thanks for help ill be back after
[22:57] <libman> I've been tinkering with it for 2 days, and I want the world to feel my pain.
[22:57] <libman> I wonder if that's why ISIS is growing so quickly.
[22:57] <daftykins> libman: no it's you and your window manager choice :>
[22:58] <daftykins> don't make us suffer your whinging :)
[22:58] <libman> I tried ****EVERYTHING****
[22:58] <daftykins> not from where i'm sat
[22:58] <OerHeks> libman, please keepit civil & family friendly here
[22:58] <czwolf> Can someone help with a program start under mono, or to find a culprit why it does not?
[22:58] <le_pig> lol
[22:58] <libman> I tried Unity, Mate, KDE...
[22:58] <TJ-> libman: nvidia drivers work fine on the regular Ubuntu flavours; changing the core DM/WM config is bound to cause issues
[22:59] <daftykins> rocky: and "apt-cache policy virtualbox-quest-dkms | nc termbin.com 9999" ?
[22:59] <daftykins> rocky: oops i typo'd - "apt-cache policy virtualbox-guest-dkms | nc termbin.com 9999"
[22:59] <nacc> RedPenguin: hrm, weird
[23:00] <OerHeks> czwolf, mono got a wiki http://www.mono-project.com/archived/guiderunning_mono_applications/ what happens when you try to run the app ?
[23:00] <TJ-> libman: try installing a default flavour onto an external (e.g. USB mass storage device), or into a separate LV, as a test; if you get problems with that they can be debugged and results transferred back to the customised install
[23:00] <nacc> RedPenguin: is it possible the devices are erroring out? also, are you running latest BIOS/have appropriate settings on in BIOS, etc
[23:00] <czwolf> Oerheks thank you going there to look
[23:01] <rocky> daftykins: telling me to use netcat?
[23:02] <libman> OK, let's forget proprietary drivers.  I'm going back to xorg default (which seems to be the open source intel driver).  Can we figure out a way to get any player to scale the video to full screen, I don't care if my CPU explodes?

[23:04] <TJ-> protn: 'show hidden files/directories' option, or type the path manually
[23:04] <OerHeks> Bray90820, all  SSH access?  don't run a ssh service
[23:04] <dotpixis> why is my software update wanting to install a chromium browser update; i don't have chromium-browser!
[23:04] <protn> TJ where will I find show hidden files option? its not in leafpad itself
[23:05] <Bray90820> SSH is enables right now but I wanna disable it
[23:05] <czwolf> OerHeks Looked to there and saw the info how to run mono program. I run some already. That is not a problem. This program asks me to be run as service. I am trying: mono-service -l:Corrade.exe.lock Corrade.exe As a response I am getting silence. Nothing happens.
[23:06] <qu4nt1n> !s pdf
[23:06] <daftykins> dotpixis: in a terminal what does "dpkg -l | chromium" return? chromium-browser with "ii" beside it? then you do :)
[23:06] <rocky> daftykins: I would but cannot copy and paste as I am stuck in a terminal before any kind of GUI.
[23:06] <daftykins> Bray90820: if you're behind a home router you would need to port forward
[23:06] <daftykins> rocky: blech, ok well run it by hand and state what the URL is it outputs
[23:07] <Bray90820> daftykins: so just unforwered the port?
[23:07] <TJ-> Bray90820: you want to totally disable the sshd service itself? "sudo systemctl disable sshd"
[23:07] <dotpixis> daftykins: "$ dpkg -l | chromium"
[23:07] <dotpixis> chromium: command not found
[23:07] <daftykins> dotpixis: oops sorry "dpkg -l | grep chromium"
[23:07] <TJ-> !info chromium-browser
[23:08] <Bray90820> TJ-:  Yes it seems I have some SSH attacks coming from china so I am just gonna disable it altogether
[23:08] <OerHeks> dotpixis, i had those libs too in updates, not sure it will be used by other browsers/apps
[23:08] <dotpixis> daftykins: ii  chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra                47.0.2526.73-0ubuntu<IP_ADDRESS>.1106      amd64        Extra ffmpeg codecs for the Chromium Browser
[23:08] <JayF> I'm working on building a cloud-style Ubuntu 14.04 image that can work on both RAID(md) and non-RAID hosts. I have everything working except /dev/disk/by-label/root is pointing to sda1 (a member of the raid) as opposed to md126p1 (the actual raid partition that should be root)
[23:08] <JayF> when/what populates /dev/disk/by-label/ during boot? udev?
[23:08] <daftykins> dotpixis: looks like you didn't see the browser then
[23:08] <libman> Can anyone suggest a way to get any player to scale full screen?!
[23:08] <TJ-> Bray90820: that'll prevent you connecting to it remotely yourself
[23:08] <Bray90820> TJ-: I don't really do that anyways
[23:08] <libman> I tried all command line argumens for mplayer and vlc.
[23:08] <dotpixis> daftykins: i haven't installed chromium
[23:08] <rocky> daftykins: everything in the output looks fine. the one which I have installed after installing ubuntu is a kali package for testing my home network.
[23:08] <TJ-> Bray90820: usually better to use a selective firewall rule, or allow access to the sshd service only over a VPN
[23:09] <protn> TJ-: any ideas?
[23:09] <protn> :D
[23:09] <daftykins> rocky: i'm asking for the URL in it, it might look fine to you but i'm trying to find out where it's getting it...
[23:09] <protn> maybe I need another text editor :D
[23:09] <Bray90820> TJ-: If I don't connect to it anyways then it there a need to leave it enabled
[23:09] <dotpixis> i guess i'll install it and run a packet caputre after for a while
[23:09] <TJ-> protn: I have no idea; I don't use leafpad, but most GUI file dialog choosers have the option
[23:09] <protn> cool
[23:09] <daftykins> rocky: now would be a great time to own up if that VM is really kali and not ubuntu
[23:09] <rocky> daftykins: alright one sec I will try my best to write it out in pastebin
[23:10] <daftykins> Bray90820: instead you should've reconfigured SSHd to use a different port # and maybe use fail2ban
[23:10] <daftykins> rocky: it's one line so here is fine
[23:10] <TJ-> Bray90820: yes, generally I leave it available internally in case the GUI fails and I need to find out why
[23:10] <TJ-> Bray90820: but, if that PC is behind a router/NAT then it shouldn't be receiving external connections at all anyhow
[23:11] <Bray90820> TJ-: systemctl: command not found
[23:11] <TJ-> Bray90820: what Ubuntu release is that?
[23:12] <Bray90820> TJ-: ubuntu 14.04
[23:12] <rocky> daftykins: Its unclear to me as there is a few packages listed.
[23:12] <crispy_beef> Jordan_U, here is the pastebin link....  http://pastebin.com/vPRyYMPp
[23:13] <TJ-> Bray90820: ahh, no systemd. so "echo manual | sudo tee /etc/init/ssh.override"
[23:13] <daftykins> rocky: tell me what "cat /etc/issue" and "lsb_release -a" speak of then
[23:14] <Bray90820> TJ-: So after I enter that is it disabled?
[23:15] <rocky> daftykins: http://pastebin.com/CPs2cT9z
[23:15] <TJ-> Bray90820: no; that disables it from starting automatically at boot. To stop it now "sudo service sssh stop"
[23:16] <JFlash> hi, where can I get help diagnosing my connection, I can only load a few websites... all others fail
[23:16] <JFlash> wifi
[23:16] <TJ-> Bray90820: correct my typo, 'sssh' should be 'ssh'
[23:16] <Bray90820> I did :P
[23:17] <rocky> daftykins: cat /etc/issue gives me kali GNU 2.0 and...
[23:17] <TJ-> JFlash: I notice your IRc client is using IPv6, maybe the system is not configured to dual-stack with IPv4 as well?
[23:17] <Bray90820> TJ-: So am I all good now?
[23:18] <rocky> daftykins: yeah same thing its giving me the kali package?
[23:18] <daftykins> rocky: yeah so this sounds like a VM of kali linux and not ubuntu.
[23:18] <JFlash> TJ-, wow, yr good!.. however I have the same problem in 2 machines,... the other is running macosx
[23:18] <TJ-> Bray90820: well, check the status of the service to ensure it is stopped: "service ssh status" I think it is
[23:19] <JFlash> TJ-, it could be the reason but i havent updated neither of the machines and the problem started 2 days ago
[23:19] <rocky> daftykins: what? I have been using the same VM multiple times. Not sure how to be honest
[23:19] <TJ-> JFlash: possibly your ISP/router config? I know mine has the option in the ISP connection settings (PPPoE) to use IPv4 only/IPv6 only/IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack
[23:19] <JFlash> chech this out:
[23:19] <JFlash> --- yahoo.com ping statistics ---
[23:19] <JFlash> 199 packets transmitted, 10 received, 94% packet loss, time 198003ms
[23:20] <TJ-> JFlash: was that using 'ping' or 'ping6' - try both; compare
[23:20] <TJ-> JFlash: 'ping' uses IPv4 by default
[23:20] <JFlash> TJ, the router is shared for all betrooms here... so hard for me to do anithing other than to turn it on, off, which I did
[23:20] <JFlash> that was ping.. I did not even know ping6 existed... will try
[23:21] <daftykins> rocky: try this "sudo apt-get purge --reinstall virtualbox-guest-dkms virtualbox-guest-utils virtualbox-guest-x11"
[23:21] <rocky> daftykins: ok
[23:21] <TJ-> JFlash: packet loss, if confirmed, is most likely due to a fault in a router on the path from you to the destination. Use 'tracepath' and 'tracepath6' to test those
[23:23] <JFlash> this is the result from ping6
[23:23] <JFlash> -- yahoo.com ping statistics ---
[23:23] <JFlash> 54 packets transmitted, 47 received, 12% packet loss, time 94375ms
[23:23] <rocky> daftykins: looks like that is finished.
[23:23] <daftykins> rocky: any errors?
[23:24] <daftykins> rocky: you do have 3D acceleration enabled in the VM properties, yes?
[23:24] <protn> TJ-: well I have installed gedit same stuff, which gui editor u use?
[23:24] <daftykins> shutdown and check
[23:24] <JFlash> TJ-, if not packet loss, what could it be:
[23:24] <Bray90820> TJ-: Unknown job: ssh
[23:24] <protn> thing is in nano i can select all text somehow
[23:24] <JFlash> ?
[23:24] <protn> for copy paste
[23:25] <JFlash> TJ-, is there any sort of flush-ip-tables  type of command that I can run from the command prompt:
[23:25] <TJ-> JFlash: well, you've provved packet-loss using ping; now to determine if it is inside or outside your own network with tracepath/6 ... if inside, possibly interference on the Wifi's channel
[23:25] <rocky> dafykins: no errors but can't really read the full terminal. Not sure if it was done correctly. as the previous lines when removing and purging the virtualbox files
[23:25] <rocky> daftykins: ^
[23:25] <TJ-> JFlash: you mean "ip{,6}tables -F" ?
[23:25] <IMeasureYou> If u wanna uninstall it
[23:25] <IMeasureYou> sudo apt-get purge openssh-server
[23:26] <IMeasureYou> or sudo apt-get remove openssh-server
[23:26] <RedPenguin> nacc: afaik it's the latest BIOS, it just seems the file cop between the drives stops and both drives disappear and nothing is seen on the USB 3 ports until a reboot
[23:26] <daftykins> rocky: reboot then.
[23:26] <rocky> daftykins: no 3D or 2D acceleration is enabled
[23:26] <TJ-> Bray90820: so it wasn't running, which is what you expected
[23:26] <Bray90820> TJ-: Thanks
[23:26] <anabain> I want to make a bash script at the server side aware of the current url the client dolphin app is at in order to be able to decide from that script if the dir is under an nfs mount (client is using autofs). In that case, the script will kill that dolphin instance. This, combined with previous identification on nfs files via lsof -N and proper handling of them, will avoid the client hanging. Any ideas? It seems there's no qdbus way to
[23:26] <anabain> get the current url for dolphin, so I need another approach.
[23:26] <daftykins> rocky: enabling 3D would make sense
[23:27] <daftykins> power it off and do that
[23:27] <nacc> RedPenguin: hrm, weird ... seems like a hw glitch at that point, if the kernel isn't emitting any logs in dmesg
[23:27] <rocky> well I'm pretty sure I haven't changed the settings anytime recently. give me a sec
[23:27] <daftykins> rocky: no but i'm telling you how it should be :)
[23:27] <protn> daftykins: hey do u know any way to access .ssh dir with some gui text editor
[23:27] <protn> I have tried gedit yet to work
[23:28] <protn> I want to copy paste my public key :D
[23:28] <TJ-> protn: are you aware of 'ssh-copy-id' tool?
[23:28] <protn> no
[23:28] <daftykins> you access files with text editors, not folders
[23:28] <protn> I love gui
[23:28] <TJ-> protn: "man ssh-copy-id"
[23:28] <protn> why so  complex
[23:28] <protn> hmm
[23:28] <rocky> daftykins: ok I enabled 3d acceleration booted up again and same low graphics error
[23:29] <protn> TJ-: I use nano it does not select all text
[23:29] <protn> hence I need gui editor :D
[23:29] <TJ-> protn: nothing complex about it; it copes with a lot of combinations. For the default RSA key its as simple as "ssh-copy-id [user@]remote"
[23:29] <protn> copies to where?
[23:29] <protn> I need actual text to copy paste into webserver CP panel
[23:30] <protn> lol
[23:30] <TJ-> protn: "user@remote" - the remote host you want the key installed on
[23:30] <protn> i cant launch instance before I do that
[23:30] <protn> remote host wont launch unless I first paste key
[23:30] <TJ-> protn: ok, so why not just "cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub"
[23:30] <protn> oki
[23:30] <protn> indeed
[23:30] <protn> forgot about cat :D
[23:30] <protn> ty
[23:30] <anabain> btw, I'm using 15.10
[23:31] <rocky> daftykins: whats also annoying is that when select the options after accepting that the system is in low graphics mode is that I cannot select any of the options to troubleshoot or reconfigure. The default is to run in low graphics mode for one session and when It tries to do this it just stays and that black screen which means the only real way of
[23:31] <rocky>  resolving it is to use the terminal ctrl shift F1
[23:32] <daftykins> why can't you? tabbing and enter should work
[23:35] <daftykins> rocky: what does "sudo modprobe vboxdrv" do?
[23:36] <rocky> says vboxdrv not found
[23:37] <holdsworth> is there a way(1 command line) to list all of the files including files in directories in a recursive way and their bytes?
[23:37] <TJ-> holdsworth: their bytes?
[23:38] <holdsworth> TJ-: their size in bytes
[23:38] <TJ-> holdsworth: "find /path/to/dir -type f -execdir stat -c %s {} \;"
[23:38] <daftykins> rocky: "sudo apt-get install virtualbox-dkms"
[23:39] <holdsworth> TJ-: amazing
[23:40] <holdsworth> TJ-: it doesnt list the path
[23:40] <TJ-> holdsworth: oh, you want that too?
[23:40] <holdsworth> yes
[23:40] <rocky> I bought the problem upon myself. What you should know is that the original problem was ubuntu hanging on the orange screen after login and so I went about to fix this problem myself. I opened up a file using vim or nano, and deleted a line which was like --gnome-session and after reboot I had this low graphics error. So using the terminal I put th
[23:40] <rocky> e line back in the file to see if that would resolve it and it didn't
[23:41] <rocky> daftykins: ^
[23:41] <mentalisto27> who knows a good weather application on ubuntu?
[23:41] <JFlash> hi, sorry I lost contact
[23:41] <holdsworth> TJ-: I wrote list files(I meant their names) I am sorry
[23:41] <daftykins> rocky: that doesn't make any sense to me
[23:41] <TJ-> holdsworth: this should do it "find /path/to/dir -type f -exec stat -c '%n %s' {} \;"
[23:41] <JFlash> TJ-, still there:
[23:42] <TJ-> JFlash: yes, no packet-loss here :)
[23:43] <daftykins> rocky: oh i see the full thing now, would've been nice to know that from the start... i give up. clean install that VM and discover the lovely function known as snapshotting
[23:43] <ams_> Anything I can check if my laptop speakers work fine but the headphones don't? I've tried to top couple of instructions on google (alsamixer, etc.) but they've not helped. I'm on an XPS 13 from a few years ago if that means anything.
[23:43] <ams_> 15.10
[23:43] <holdsworth> TJ-: and can I list their full path somehow?
[23:44] <TJ-> holdsworth: hmm, did %n only show the filename part?
[23:44] <holdsworth> TJ-: yes
[23:44] <JFlash> TJ-, http://pastie.org/10688254
[23:44] <JFlash> TJ-, a few other hops but all after that are no reply
[23:45] <JFlash> ends like this: Too many hops: pmtu 1500
[23:45] <JFlash>      Resume: pmtu 1500
[23:45] <TJ-> holdsworth: you didn't edit the line to be what I showed you in the 2nd command. It is "exec" not "execdir"
[23:45] <rocky> daftykins: don't really fancy coming to that conclusion but if you give up, I will probably have too..
[23:46] <TJ-> holdsworth: "execdir" changes to the target directory before running the command so 'stat' would only see the filename; "exec" uses the entire path so 'stat' will see (and report) it
[23:46] <daftykins> rocky: yeah i'm done.
[23:46] <JFlash> TJ-, btw, on the mac I can load yahoo.com but not here on ubuntu
[23:46] <daftykins> rocky: also playing with kali stuff taints any install in my opinion
[23:46] <rocky> daftykins: dammit
[23:46] <daftykins> run it itself and ask for help in their channel
[23:46] <holdsworth> TJ-: you are a bright guy, thanks
[23:46] <protn> rather simple question
[23:47] <TJ-> JFlash: that looks about right; you're getting as far as Yahoo. you'll find often that the ICMP types are often blocked at destinations to prevent denial of service attacks.
[23:47] <protn> how do I login via terminal to remote host using ssh cert I generated? I have already upload pub key via CP panel
[23:47] <protn> is it ssh:ip path to key?
[23:47] <teward> protn: depends on the SSH client you're using
[23:47] <JFlash> TJ but this is for 90% sites i go to man
[23:47] <TJ-> JFlash: try this on Ubuntu: "dig -t A yahoo.com" (IPv4) and "dig -t AAAA yahoo.com" (IPv6) and ensure both can resolve
[23:48] <rocky> daftykins: yeah its not good really installing packages for other distributions as nothing really works too good. but I'm sure that is not the problem in this instance
[23:48] <JFlash> TJ-, yahoo is an example , it's for evrything
[23:48] <teward> if CLI from an Ubuntu system, then it's: ssh -i /path/to/keyfile username@ip
[23:48] <teward> protn: ^
[23:48] <protn> teward: using terminal
[23:48] <protn> ubuntu 14.04
[23:48] <TJ-> JFlash: if one isn't resolving, and lets say IPv6 is the preferred local protocol, that could explain your issues
[23:48] <anabain> protn, ssh username
[23:48] <protn> lxterminal
[23:48] <teward> protn: ssh username@serverip
[23:49] <anabain> if you've copied keys that should suffice, if not, what teward wrote ^
[23:49] <daftykins> rocky: that's not my point :)
[23:49] <teward> protn: or if the key isn't stored in ~/.ssh, then: ssh -i /path/to/key/file username@serverip
[23:49] <TJ-> JFlash: generally if IPv6 is enabled it will be preferred, with fallback to IPv4, although it depends on the Ubuntu release and/or custom config
[23:50] <rocky> daftykins; what is your point then?
[23:50] <anabain> protn, I made a mistake, sorry: ssh servername  or   ssh servernameIP
[23:50] <protn> teward: key is uploaded to server via CO
[23:50] <meeeen> i need some help, im trying to install a game, but during the installation it freezes! what can i do?
[23:50] <daftykins> rocky: that i won't help with kali junk on anything.
[23:50] <holdsworth> TJ-: I dont want to remain dumb, so "find /path/to/dir -type f -exec stat -c '%n %s' {} \;" means - find in this specific path all the objects that are from the type of file and then execute the following command(stat) that takes -c (custom format) '%n %s' (name and size) {} \;(this part I did not understand)
[23:51] <JFlash> TJ-, but i'm having the same problems on the mac
[23:51] <protn> ssh server name works but how do I tell local host to supply key?
[23:51] <JFlash> TJ-, this is the result of the test http://pastie.org/private/csw52ng3j7rnf4xqhncmbq
[23:51] <TJ-> protn: you've transferred the default id_rsa.pub public key to the server; so just "ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or "ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>(IP address of server) will work
[23:51] <anabain> protn, if it works you're done
[23:52] <protn> TJ-: it does not work
[23:52] <rocky> daftykins: whats your reasoning behind thinking that kali is junk? :)
[23:52] <protn> yet to work
[23:52] <TJ-> protn: maybe there's a firewall blocking connections ?
[23:52] <daftykins> rocky: their packages when applied to ubuntu, read my sentences carefully or you'll get my meaning wrong
[23:52] <meeeen> fixme:win:FlashWindowEx 0x33d364
[23:52] <meeeen>  it shows this in the terminal what am i suppose to do to fix it?
[23:52] <daftykins> rocky: they make their own distro based on debian now, so maybe run that if you want it. then chat in their channel
[23:53] <protn> I uploaded pub.key via host CP panel - when I issue ssh ip it asks for password
[23:54] <TJ-> JFlash: that dig output looks good for that site. The packet-loss is the thing to focus on now. If ping{,6} is continuing to show dropped packets you need to find out (running tracepath{,6} if that is internal or external. If internal, then maybe WiFi interference. If external, a faulty router somewhere on the link. As it affects many sites, that'd suggest some router in or close to your ISPs network
[23:54] <k1l_> protn: restart the ssh server
[23:54] <protn> k1` I have to access remote box first to restart server
[23:54] <meeeen> can someone help me?
[23:55] <protn> or u mean to restart local machine ssh server?
[23:55] <JFlash> TJ-, there *must* be a simple explanation for this
[23:55] <JFlash> TJ-, washingtonpost.com doesnt load. facebook.com loads
[23:55] <JFlash> dammit
[23:55] <TJ-> meeeen: that's a message from WINE saying that method isn't fully implemented as yet
[23:55] <TJ-> meeeen: it's meant as a reminder to the developers
[23:55] <protn> ssh 167.114.xx.xx webstore
[23:55] <meeeen> but it still doing it
[23:56] <meeeen> TJ- can i do something or not?
[23:56] <rocky> daftykins: yeah but you can still install kali tools in ubuntu. I have a kali vm as well but it doesn't work anymore so I wanted to install ubuntu to get used to linux but at the same time, I wanted to use some security tools to test my host PC and network so I thought it would save time to just try and get the tools on ubuntu rather then set up a
[23:56] <rocky> new vm
[23:56] <protn> teward: normally how do you login to remote server with a key?
[23:56] <meeeen> TJ-: can i do something or not?
[23:56] <protn> which command do you use?
[23:56] <TJ-> JFlash: interestingly, "dig -t AAAA washingtonpost.com" doesn't return an IPv6 address either
[23:56] <teward> protn: plain old SSH from my desktop
[23:56] <TJ-> meeeen: no
[23:56] <protn> and syntax?
[23:56] <teward> protn: since I generate my keys, and have ssh-agent configured to test ALL my keys
[23:56] <protn> ssh ip keyname?
[23:56] <teward> protn: ssh -p 22 USERNAME@IP
[23:56] <daftykins> rocky: you're not telling me anything i don't already know, i just wouldn't support a machine with it on. cya :)
[23:57] <teward> where USERNAME is the username at the server, IP is the IP of the server
[23:57] <teward> and -p 22 is just to enforce port 22
[23:57] <meeeen> TJ-: cause the game update isnt going further is there an other way ?
[23:58] <TJ-> JFlash: which may support the theory that some connections fail due to IPv6 being preferred and fallback to IPv4  configured
[23:58] <rocky> daftykins: you make it hard for me to find the reasoning behind that you say. hahaha.
[23:58] <daftykins> rocky: well perhaps support channel volunteer vs. new user is the difference
[23:59] <Nic335_> Hey people Im having a hard time with boot-repair..  I installed windows 10 from windows 8 and i had a dual boot id like to get it back.  I have been fu**ing around with this for like 3 hours now im wondering if someone would like to help me. If he can get this resolve Il pay 20$CAD
[23:59] <TJ-> meeeen: no; WINE is very complex. It has to try to reimplement every Windows function call, and that's a moving target, so the devs drop in those fixme's to point out the things they've not yet implemented
[23:59] <Nic335_> So much im tired... of trying.
[23:59] <rocky> daftykins: not the newest of users, just forgot a lot of stuff as I run windows mainly
[23:59] <daftykins> Nic335_: bribery doesn't work here :) are they both installed EFI?
[23:59] <Nic335_> No not efi
[23:59] <daftykins> legacy installs? mmm
