[00:00] <perryf> np
[00:19] <mohamed> hello
[00:20] <Guest33032> hello
[00:40] <weboh> Is there a difference between gtk+ and gtk sharp?
[00:43] <kode54> gtk+ is for C/C++, GTK sharp is for Mono / C# code
[00:46] <implite> Hmm i guess mwilliams didnt understand what we wanted him to do Bashing?
[00:47] <implite> if he reinstalls it will fix his problem but that doesnt help it solve how to fix that problem
[01:07] <seventy> anyone on 17.04 yet?
[01:09] <Bashing-om> implite: We learn little from the nuclear solution .
[01:09] <Mike34> yes
[01:10] <psychoticwarrior> whats the kali linux channel
[01:10] <Bashing-om> !kali | psychoticwarrior
[01:11] <psychoticwarrior> i have a triple boot OS with ubuntu installed
[01:18] <seventy> is dd if= of=
[01:18] <seventy> or of= if=
[01:18] <Bashing-om> seventy: depends on the use case .
[01:19] <seventy> iso
[01:19] <seventy> to usb
[01:19] <seventy> ill just go with if=source of=dest
[01:20] <Bashing-om> seventy: sudo dd if=/path/to/iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M && sync .
[01:20] <seventy> thanks!
[01:39] <psychoticwarrior> what is a backup utility for ubuntu using a GUI
[01:41] <Bashing-om> !backup | psychoticwarrior
[01:50] <seventy> what the fuck my entire system just went readonly
[01:50] <seventy> please tell me wannacry didn't come to linux
[01:51] <leftyfb> seventy: please watch the language.
[01:51] <seventy> sorry
[01:51] <leftyfb> seventy: and no, the exploit does not work on linux
[01:51] <leftyfb> seventy: try 'dmesg' to see if you have disk I/O errors
[01:52] <Bashing-om> seventy: Generally sysetm going read only is to protect it's self from additional damage . What did you do ?
[01:54] <jeffrey_f> Getting "The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/n-muench/programs-ppa/ubuntu xenial Release' does not have a Release file." error when attempting to update
[01:54] <seventy> restart seems to have fixed it
[01:54] <seventy> thats scary stuff
[01:55] <leftyfb> jeffrey_f: it's an issue on the repo's side. Nothing you can do about it. Just ignore it
[01:55] <seventy> tools for checking how full my drives are?
[01:55] <seventy> any integrated in xbuntu?
[01:55] <leftyfb> seventy: I told you, use dmesg you check for disk issues
[01:55] <leftyfb> seventy: now that you've rebooted, dmesg has been reset
[01:56] <jeffrey_f> leftyfb: Thanks.
[01:56] <seventy> leftyfb, looks like I still have quite a few problems
[01:56] <seventy> mind taking a look at it if I pastebin it to you?
[01:56] <Bashing-om> jeffrey_f: Uh Huh - that PPA is not supported in xenial : http://ppa.launchpad.net/n-muench/programs-ppa/ubuntu/dists/ .
[01:56] <leftyfb> seventy: time you backup what you can and get a new drive
[01:57] <seventy> leftyfb, its an SSD
[01:57] <seventy> lower failure rate
[01:57] <seventy> but yeah still
[01:57] <leftyfb> seventy: low != none
[01:57] <seventy> True
[01:57] <seventy> what do I look for in dmesg
[01:58] <leftyfb> seventy: any I/O or sense-key errors
[01:58] <leftyfb> Bashing-om: just because there's no deb made for xenial in a PPA, doesn't mean the deb's won't work
[01:59] <seventy> wow lots of info here
[01:59] <seventy> never knew about dmesg
[02:00] <Bashing-om> leftyfb: While true ... are all dependencies met ??? Is the risk worth the gain ?
[02:01] <leftyfb> Bashing-om: sometimes. yes
[02:05] <Worm_in_a_Box> Are floppy drives still supported?
[02:06] <leftyfb> :/
[02:07] <leftyfb> Worm_in_a_Box: as silly as that would be, I don't see why they wouldn't sill work if you had a machine that supported an IDE device or maybe or you have one of the few usb floppy drives
[02:07] <Worm_in_a_Box> I got a USB floppy.
[02:08] <Worm_in_a_Box> And it won't stuff under W10, so I was wondering if Ubuntu would read it.
[02:08] <Worm_in_a_Box> My disks might have been damaged beyond repair also.
[02:09] <seventy> everything backed up
[02:12] <seventy> cryptocurrency mining on linux is a lot jumping through hoops
[02:16] <seventy> naive question should I just always be using apt over apt-get?
[02:17] <Bashing-om> seventy: apt is the replacement for apt-get .. so ...
[02:18] <Worm_in_a_Box> Knoppix auto detects the usb floppy.
[02:20] <implite> I think there is still linux boot floppys for operating systems
[02:23] <Worm_in_a_Box> Cant read, cant format.
[02:24] <Worm_in_a_Box> It is satisfying to punch them in, though.
[02:24] <Jakethepython1> hello room 2 questions one is i have made an Ubuntu Server (still setting up) but i have files on it that i need to move i can ssh into it but it won't allow me to SCP files over to my local system
[02:25] <PipeItToDevNull> Jakethepython1, What error do you get
[02:26] <Jakethepython1> ~/Desktop$ scp install.iso jacob@RAILX-Precision-5520:/home/jacob/Desktop
[02:26] <Jakethepython1> it doesn't give an error it just sits there and does nothing
[02:26] <PipeItToDevNull> Jakethepython1, use sftp, see if that gives you issues
[02:28] <Worm_in_a_Box> I just bought a lot of floppy disks so I could test the USB device.
[02:28] <leftyfb> Jakethepython1: it's probably working, but taking long to copy
[02:28] <Worm_in_a_Box> Even though I have no idea of why I would use said device.
[02:28] <leftyfb> Jakethepython1: try rsync
[02:28] <Worm_in_a_Box> I guess that I lost control of my life.
[02:30] <weboh> I really like Kubuntu 17.04
[02:31] <Worm_in_a_Box> Why?
[02:32] <weboh> I get wayland. it crashes slightly. I have an SSD, I get free development tools. I like KDE despites its flaws.
[02:33] <weboh> gnome is admitedly great for avoid resources a unity8 crap
[02:34] <Jakethepython1>  sftp -get jacob@Gandalf:/home/jacob/Desktop/Install.iso ?
[02:34] <weboh> so i prefer ubuntu-gnome and kubuntu
[02:34] <Worm_in_a_Box> I hate fleas.
[02:34] <Worm_in_a_Box> And I always end using fluxbox for some reason.
[02:34] <weboh> unity8 is a flee?
[02:35] <weboh> I have this one laptop which is very quick, but it needs windows 10 pro, only has the slow home version.
[02:36] <Worm_in_a_Box> If you downloaded a pirate windows 8 "mega pro with cookiez" and did the win 10 upgrade, you would get a clean windows 10 "mega pro with cookiez" cd key.
[02:37] <weboh> I can upgrade for 99 american bux to pro, but if there is a cheap windows 8 pro, I may get it.
[02:38] <Jakethepython1>  sftp jacob@Gandalf:/home/jacob/Desktop/Install.iso /home/jacob/Desktop/Test
[02:38] <Jakethepython1> ssh: connect to host gandalf port 22: Connection timed out
[02:38] <Jakethepython1> Couldn't read packet: Connection reset by peer
[02:38] <weboh> Since linux is faster than windows 10 home, but not pro, I am putting Ubuntu-gnome on it.
[02:39] <Worm_in_a_Box> Why not buy something like : goo.gl/jP6tTH
[02:39] <mwd> boo @ url shortener
[02:40] <weboh> actually i meant avoid unity8 and using excess resources with KDE. Sometimes gnome is better.
[02:40] <Worm_in_a_Box> http://www.ebay.com/itm/GENUINE-WINDOWS-10-PRO-32-64BIT-OEM-ORIGINAL-LICENSE-KEY-SCRAP-PC-/162521375469?hash=item25d70762ed:g:OUQAAOSw3gJZILTC
[02:41] <leftyfb> Worm_in_a_Box: please don't encourage piracy here
[02:41] <Worm_in_a_Box> leftyfb: Sorry, are OEM keys considered piracy?
[02:42] <mwd> "YOU WILL GET A BROKEN MOTHERBOARD THAT COMES WITH THE OEM KEY AS REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH eBAY POLICY OF OEM SOFTWARE. CONTACT US FOR MORE DETAILS"
[02:42] <mwd> that seems legit
[02:42] <mwd> where do i send my cc info
[02:42] <weboh> I am not guaranteed it will work. There are some places where you pay 20 more, because they insure you get it to operate.
[02:42] <weboh> mwd: haha
[02:42] <Worm_in_a_Box> mwd: There is a money back guarantee :P
[02:42] <leftyfb> please take notice that you are in #ubuntu
[02:43] <leftyfb> not #microsoft or #windows
[02:43] <weboh> we like computers?
[02:43] <Worm_in_a_Box> I am sorry, I will stop, I was just trying to help the guy save 96 bucks.
[02:44] <weboh> Maybe 80. my memory was a little short.
[02:44] <leftyfb> weboh: this is a support channel for #ubuntu.  Im getting a load of 249 over 1/5/15 all of them.
[05:35] <schultza> i only have 6 cores.
[05:35] <YankDownUnder> Any patches get immediately put into the downstream.
[05:36] <halp> YankDownUnder: ok.  It's annoying and spammy.
[05:43] <Ashu_> YankDownUnder https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ResizeEncryptedPartitions
[05:43] <Ashu_> ohh sorry halp
[05:43] <schultza> say what? paid vs free? is ubuntu changing it's OS products?
[05:43] <kostkon> halp, many users randomly receive phased updates at some point in time but I don't think thr livepatch service is a venue for that
[05:43] <halp> schultza: Just live hotpatching when it was announced
[05:44] <halp> kostkon: During the announcement for live hotpatching of the kernel it was announced that free users would be the ones vetting the patches
[05:45] <kostkon> halp, could be true, I haven't come across this fact anywhere
[05:45] <halp> Looks like they changed their mind
[05:45] <halp> Neato
[05:46] <Ashu_> YankDownUnder ...?
[05:46] <halp> This is why I use Ubuntu. People call it the "noob distro" but it's time tested and used in the enterprise.
[05:46] <squig> I use ubuntu because of apt   <3 apt
[05:47] <Ashu_> squig can you halp me
[05:47] <Ashu_> help*
[05:47] <halp> No.
[05:47] <YankDownUnder> Ashu_, I don't do encrypted stuff, mate. Nil. None. Nada. Nicht. Which then implies that I don't know about resizing things that are encrypted...ergo, I'm useless and it's pointless to ask me - there ARE other folks here that might be able to answer the question...
[05:48] <Ashu_> okay YankDownUnder
[05:48] <Ben64> Ashu_: use the link you posted?
[05:48] <Ashu_> its confused me Ben64
[05:48] <Ben64> well, that's unfortunate
[05:48] <halp> So quick question. Can I use LivePatch on the OVH kernel?
[05:49] <sirru5h> Ubuntu just works in an enterprise where workers need to use linux ubuntu is well documented and supported
[05:49] <Ben64> halp: unlikely
[05:49] <halp> They apparently have their own slightly patched one with Ubuntu
[05:49] <Ashu_> Ben64 therefore i am asking for help
[05:49] <trdat> hi
[05:49] <Ben64> Ashu_: you're not going to find anything here better than the link you posted
[05:49] <Ashu_> ohh
[05:49] <trdat> ?
[05:49] <trdat> where are u from?
[05:50] <Ashu_> trdat its not chatting website
[05:50] <Ashu_> ask your problem
[05:50] <halp> Ashu_: you're spamming, repeatidly bugging other users that said they don't know how to help, and ignoring people telling you they can't help. You've linked a good article on doing it.  Minimum purchase 10 units." - https://buy.ubuntu.com/collections/ubuntu-advantage-for-servers
[05:54] <Ben64> nope, i do all my stuff for free
[05:54] <halp> heckle
[05:54] <halp> Ben64: You got any suggestions?
[05:54] <halp> I maintain 25~ Ubuntu Servers
[05:55] <Ben64> i'd just do it manually
[05:55] <YankDownUnder> I like the "free" bit...great cost, that.
[05:56] <halp> heh
[05:56] <halp> Luckily the server comrpormised was my testing ground
[05:56] <halp> Gets wiped weekyl.
[05:56] <halp> weekly*
[05:56] <halp> Probably doesn't look good that it has 33 interventions
[05:57] <halp> Today I'll be working with OpenVPN in Docker + MariaDB with the Galera engine
[05:57] <halp> :>
[05:59] <halp> so YankDownUnder You use Tripwire?
[06:00] <YankDownUnder> On a few sites, yes. "Where it's required". I work with small time folks, mate. Which is a really great thing.
[06:01] <halp> I'm trying to find a simple nice HIDS
[06:02] <halp> I'm slowly hardening my servers further from my standard setup a secure username password, certain hosts can login to root, sudo disabled, UFW set to drop all unsolicited traffic on all ports I don't need
[06:02] <halp> I have fail2ban setup, I'm going to setup knockd
[06:03] <YankDownUnder> halp, Soon you'll be working or the NSA/CIA...yep...(as I retire and die slowly)
[06:04] <halp> CSIS
[06:04] <halp> We part of the five eyes yo
[06:04] <halp> But in all seriousness I'd rather not support mass spying.
[06:04] <halp> Hence why I setup a private VPN for a few trusted people that also generates noise
[06:05] <halp> YankDownUnder: It's going to get more fun, I'm going to finally run my own mailserver
[06:06] <YankDownUnder> halp, Had enough of mailservers in the 90's...make sure you enrol in yoga/meditation/tai chi - you're going to need it.
[06:06] <halp> I'm only using it for outgoing mail
[06:07] <halp> My friend uses Mailchimp for mass emails to his clients
[06:12] <halp> My server is online again and already a botnet is forcing the SSH login
[06:13] <halp> I'm watching in realtime with tail -f
[06:15] <halp> of course it's from China.
[06:15] <sirru5h> arg
[06:15] <halp> Anyone here know how to drop all chinese trafffic using UFW?
[06:15] <halp> They made my last ssh log over 100gb in size trying to force a public key.
[06:16] <sirru5h> heck each country has a specific set of IPs allocated to it
[06:17] <YankDownUnder> Get a listing of all the IP's associated with China/Oceania...work it all from there...big list...
[06:17] <halp> Can I just drop a entire block?
[06:17] <sirru5h> halp, http://www.parkansky.com/china.htm
[06:17] <halp> Traffic from China has been the least valuable most obnoxious and malicious traffic I have ever had to deal with
[06:18] <sirru5h> http://www.ipdeny.com/ipblocks/
[06:18] <sirru5h> halp, I get weird traffic here at home like multiple russian based IPs port scanning
[06:18] <YankDownUnder> Might also want to consider Saudi Arabia, too...
[06:18] <halp> I only bother with China
[06:19] <halp> When one bot doesn't work, China's logic to to exponentially increase the bots trying to force their way in
[06:19] <sirru5h> I found most of the incidents occur from russia china and middle east
[06:19] <sirru5h> halp, well they don't call it bruteforce for nothing
[06:20] <YankDownUnder> ...don't forget Detroit...another useless geographic area... ;)
[06:20] <sirru5h> crazy thought in my head but all the bots are going to be on irc
[06:20] <halp> http://www.wizcrafts.net/chinese-iptables-blocklist.html
[06:21] <halp> sirru5h: the bots lurk in here
[06:21] <sirru5h> forget it I was about to suggest the crazy
[06:21] <YankDownUnder> sirru5h, Yes...mostly...but FINDING the controllers...now that's the puzzle, bro.
[06:21] <halp> They wait for someone to accidentally post their server IP
[06:21] <halp> Realistically, I should drop all traffic that's not from the america's
[06:21] <halp> :>
[06:22] <sirru5h> YankDownUnder, yeah thats what I was going to try to get to
[06:22] <sirru5h> but my methods may not have been the best solution
[06:23] <sirru5h> hmmm maybe that's why I get portscans from russia if they are lurking in here waiting for server IPs
[06:24] <YankDownUnder> I'll try to act surprised...hang on...trying...
[06:24] <sirru5h> I would think if say a person who had their computer zombied and they gave ya access
[06:24] <sirru5h> I'm sure the puzzle would be much easier since most of these botnets are passwd protected
[06:25] <schultza> guess i should redo my ubuntu OS.
[06:25] <sirru5h> or even if you get the IP that the IRC server is run on well
[06:25] <halp> I just locked myself out of SSH
[06:25] <YankDownUnder> There's thousands of folks running "honeypots" and gathering info...t'ain't like one person is going to be able to solve the puzzle...
[06:25] <halp> fugg
[06:25] <schultza> ubuntu install rather. cant find that load issue... cpu and memory are not the problem.
[06:25] <sirru5h> if someone was to take that down end of attack
[06:26] <halp> Thank god I changed my SSH port and allowed the new port through UFW
[06:26] <halp> gotta reboot through my OVH panel
[06:26] <schultza> why is when i do PermitRootLogin no is set, does it still allow them to try the password?

[06:38] <halp> Anyone here know of a way to easily get Grsecurity patches on Ubuntu?
[06:38] <b4d> hi, i have upgraded to 16.04 and now I have problems with sphinxsearch, it is still looking for upstart, when it should work via systemd, any ideas how to fix it?
[06:43] <squig> halp, kinda off topic, do you ever use nfs mounts in docker for persistance?
[06:43] <halp> I don't, you use volumes
[06:44] <halp> I'm pretty new to it myself (my friend is a docker mentor who convinced me finally)
[06:44] <halp> But the idea is you have your Docker Image as your Enviroment and Containers are like stateless VM's
[06:44] <halp> You can mount volumes inside of them
[06:44] <halp> Volumes are persistent storage
[06:44] <squig> I use volumes, I can use local ones, and name them etc, but the nfs syntax is like a bit crazy
[06:45] <squig> I do it all through the python api
[06:45] <halp> but why
[06:45] <squig> yeah, we have a task queue that must proccess some data and send it to an nfs server
[06:45] <halp> ah
[06:45] <halp> well you can always mount your NFS share inside of your image
[06:45] <squig> yeah, docker is meant to do it native, so I am trying that way first
[06:45] <halp> That way you always have it as part of your enviroment when you start new containers
[06:46] <halp> I need a way to use FUSE to mount FTP as a local directory.
[06:46] <squig> I will keep googling,
[06:46] <squig> thats also on my list
[06:46] <squig> and smbfs mounts
[06:47] <halp> why SMB?
[06:47] <halp> squig: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Mounting_samba_shares_from_a_unix_client
[06:47] <halp> For SMB
[06:48] <squig> clients have windows files servers.
[06:48] <squig> docker service create --mount type=volume,volume-opt=o=addr=<IP_ADDRESS>,volume-opt=device=:/Volumes/HDD/tmp,volume-opt=type=nfs ...
[06:48] <squig> that appears to be the docker syntax
[06:48] <halp> squig: I wouldn't let the daemon handle mounting it
[06:48] <halp> that's jsut me
[06:48] <halp> jsut*
[06:48] <halp> ...
[06:49] <squig> im going to try it and see, run it through our tests
[06:49] <halp> much luck
[06:50] <halp> I can't wait to setup LivePatch
[06:50] <halp> It's a cool technology.
[07:09] <[worksti]> hey, is there something for maybe screen that would allow a 'splitscreen' of sorts, the way irssi does ?
[07:11] <b4d> [worksti]: in GNU screen you have C-a S or C-a V for horizontal and vertical split
[07:12] <Aliekezhi> I have some kind of transparency effects in firefox tabs, any idea how to disable it ? Using Mate Desktop
[07:13] <aiena> I have a strange issue where USB keyboard and mouse work only after the kernel boots prior to that I need to use a PS/2 keyboard to choose betweeen ubuntu versions in GRUB
[07:13] <aiena> could this be a system issue or a grub issue
[07:15] <aiena> hmm I'll check the system bios brb

[07:49] <gte> Greetings! My Thunderbird crashes upon starting. What do I need to do? https://paste.ubuntu.com/24622457/
[08:01] <developer1211> i am upgrading the php version 5.6.4
[08:01] <developer1211> but when i am checking with php info its showing PHP Version 5.6.30-10
[08:05] <pandaadb> Hi - i am currently testing my DisplayLink USB3-HDMI adapter with Ubuntu 16.04.2. I installed the latest drivers but at startup, XORG reported an error. The display is showing but it is very laggy making it unusable. I am not sure where to look into what is wrong, would someone be able to point me in the right direction?
[08:26] <squig> hmm, whats a unix command that write to a file by argument, not by a redirect ?
[08:26] <squig> I am playing docker and I dont have a shell
[08:26] <EriC^^> squig: tee
[08:27] <EriC^^> hmm you need a pipe for it though
[08:27] <squig> yeah, no pipes either
[08:27] <squig> ha, Im going to have to write one
[08:28] <EriC^^> squig: you could do script /path/to/file
[08:28] <squig> touch!
[08:28] <EriC^^> and the whole session would go there
[08:28] <pree>  /quit
[08:29] <squig> I used /bin/sh -c
[08:30] <EriC^^> good idea

[09:02] <schahermacher> but i can't see guest account, how can i enable it?
[09:06] <schahermacher> or can i just create entirely new user for a purpose to see if my current preferences causes critical system freezing or not?

[09:20] <Rick__> Hello everyone, a quick question...
[09:21] <Rick__> I'm using 16.04 LTS... I'm finding dns leaking when using Network Manager for vpn...
[09:21] <Rick__> but when I do it directly from command sudo openvpn --config 'myconfig.ovpn'    it works fine - no dns leak
[09:22] <Rick__> is this a bug in Network Manager
[09:22] <oerheks> Rick__, oh? how do you tell your dns is leaking?
[09:22] <Rick__> (ps I've also tried changing the /etc/resolv.conf directly  to use the vpns dns server ... namespace xx.xx.xx.xx etc -- and that works too
[09:23] <tomodachi> i would assume one give two dns servers,  the internal pushed by VPN the other the public one
[09:23] <Rick__> I've used server sites like, whoer , ipleaktest and other website which check whether your dns is leaking
[09:24] <Rick__> it works okay when doing a direct command line sudo openvpn --config 'myconfig.ovpn'... so is this a bug?
[09:24] <Rick__> I've seen that people have suugested doing this
[09:25] <Rick__> add dns=none to /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
[09:26] <Rick__> --- I also have another computer with ubuntu 14.04 .... I used network manager for vpn and I get no DNS leak there...
[09:27] <tomodachi> I don't have a solution for your problem but I have experienced that DNS with openvpn in ubuntu being very flaky , I know that the DNS resolution stuff was changed from ubunt 14.04 to 16.04
[09:27] <oerheks> Rick__,  edited /etc/default/openvpn and uncommmented this line:  AUTOSTART="all" >>> https://askubuntu.com/questions/897240/ubuntu-gnome-openvpn-dns-leaks-howto-configure
[09:28] <oerheks> or maybe it is uncommented already
[09:29] <Rick__> thanks tomodachi and oerheks... I'll try that
[09:30] <oerheks> Rick__, let us know if it worked for you
[09:31] <mrcloud> hi. I'm trying to use dunst for desktop notifications but it seems that another daemon is running. How can I know what notification daemon is being use?
[09:32] <denco> Hello, may I ask for help here?

[10:03] <Lupus> Hello guys! root@ubuntu:~/libssh-0.1# /usr/sbin/sshd: symbol lookup error: /usr/sbin/sshd: undefined symbol: ssh_getopt. Who can help me with that?
[10:09] <rory> hi Lupus what are you doing to produce that error, and what Ubuntu release are you using?
[10:09] <Lupus> Okay rory.
[10:09] <Lupus> I have tried to install libssh-0.1 on my Ubuntu Server 17.04 (64bit) but it hasn't worked.
[10:10] <Lupus> Yesterday someone from here told me to change to 32bit.
[10:10] <rory> libssh-0.1 is like a decade old, what are you trying to achieve overall?
[10:10] <multifractal> How do I enable spell checking in Ubuntu 16.04 libreoffice writer?
[10:10] <Lupus> I could install libssh-0.1.
[10:10] <Lupus> I'm trying to use a penetration teste executable on my server.
[10:10] <Lupus> Now I'm using an Ubuntu Server 17.04 on 32bit for that.
[10:11] <rory> multifractal: Choose Tools - Automatic Spell Checking.
[10:11] <Lupus> Could you help me with my error? "/usr/sbin/sshd: symbol lookup error: /usr/sbin/sshd: undefined symbol: ssh_getopt"
[10:11] <multifractal> Never mind. It was under Settings>Language Support
[10:11] <rory> what is the tool Lupus ?
[10:12] <Lupus> It is not Hydra or something like that.
[10:12] <Lupus> It is made by a man.
[10:12] <Lupus> An old executable (2004).
[10:12] <denco> Can anybody help me with my Ubuntu not loading GUI? Or should I just reinstall?
[10:15] <Lupus> denco, I had the same problem once.
[10:15] <hateball> denco: what has changed since the last time it worked, and nnow?
[10:16] <denco> to be honest I think nothing
[10:16] <hateball> denco: for instance, have you had a kernel update and rebooted into that?
[10:16] <Lupus> Change UEFI to Legacy.
[10:16] <denco> I turned off my laptop last night and today does not work
[10:16] <denco> I think there was some update, but not sure
[10:16] <hateball> denco: what GPU/driver do you use?
[10:17] <hateball> if you use nvidia blob it could be that a kernel update didnt trigger dkms to build the modules for the new kernel
[10:17] <denco> It's Intel graphics and I installed driver via https://01.org/linuxgraphics
[10:17] <hateball> denco: do you get the login manager at all? or does that not work either?
[10:18] <denco> I can login into my account, but only from command prompt
[10:18] <hateball> denco: right, so when the machine starts it does not show lightdm at all, it goes straight to a text login?
[10:19] <denco> hateball: it does now, I removed quite and splash options from grub
[10:19] <denco> hateball: before, it would just stay with that fsck message (I think) and blinking underscore
[10:21] <Lupus> rory, could you help me?
[10:22] <denco> hatefull: If you wait a second, I'll join the chat on my phone and tell the exact errors (I'm running live cd now)
[10:22] <hateball> denco: have you tried booting an older kernel?
[10:22] <hateball> denco: hold left shift to get to grub menu, pick an earlier kernel
[10:24] <denco> Nothing
[10:25] <denco> After startx I get failed to set IOPL for IO operation not permitted
[10:25] <denco> Xinit: connection to x server lost
[10:26] <hateball> you shouldnt use be using startx anyhows, rather service lightdm start
[10:26] <denco> Does GNOME have lightdm too?
[10:28] <EriC^^> denco: by default it's gdm
[10:29] <hateball> oh, sorry
[10:30] <denco> So service gdm start?
[10:32] <denco> Says gdm.service not found
[10:34] <barabim> hello
[10:35] <barabim> hello
[10:35] <barabim> helçlo
[10:35] <barabim> hello
[10:35] <denco> Anything else I can do?
[10:40] <hateball> denco: did you run it with sudo?
[10:40] <hateball> denco: is there anything in the /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?
[10:45] <denco> ok it's working
[10:45] <denco> yesterday I was playing wih PlayOnLinux and one game and it seems like I installed one package, that somehow got rid of gdm
[10:46] <hateball> heh
[10:46] <denco> because when I did sudo apt install gdm it says, it would remove the following package and it was that package (pit11-kit I think)
[10:48] <denco> but thank you, your metion about GDM led me different way, which was the right way
[10:59] <klf> Anyone here using Termite?
[11:04] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[11:05] <mzaza> I have installed anbox on Ubuntu, I have run anbox-installer and rebooted but I still can't get it to work.
[11:05] <mzaza> I get the following error.
[11:05] <mzaza> [EE 2017-05-21 10:43:10] [session_manager.cpp:119@operator()] Failed to start as either binder or ashmem kernel drivers are not loaded
[11:43] <chn_> will Unity7 still have maintainance for Ubuntu LTS version ?
[11:45] <chn_> I mean,after the very official gnome version comes out?
[11:48] <falcon10> e
[12:08] <EriC^> chn_: id guess so, not sure
[12:09] <webley> hi
[12:09] <webley> How to find out what DNS server(s) Ubuntu has been configured to use?
[12:10] <EriC^> webley: i think cat /etc/resolv.conf shows an idea
[12:11] <webley> EriC^: yes
[12:11] <webley> EriC^: hm, it is in a vagrant box that got dns issues right now
[12:11] <webley> thanks
[12:28] <Ridley5> hi people
[12:30] <nubcake> hello everyone, how does an ubuntu studio 17.04 pxe boot default entry have to look like ? (tried to set it like 15.04 and 16.04 entries, but that didn't work)
[12:31] <Ridley5> anyone can bring me on how to install propriatary driver for my wireless please
[12:31] <Ridley5> my card is Qualcomm Atheros AR242x / AR542x
[12:31] <Ridley5> using 16.04LTS
[12:32] <networker> ggeek
[12:38] <chn_> try Additional Drivers
[12:38] <Jack_Sparrow__> Ridley5, for the atheros I just set nohwcrypt=1
[12:39] <Ridley5> i have a very slow internet on Ubuntu , but on Windows7 it's OK
[12:40] <chn_> SCOPE for Additional Drivers,
[12:42] <chn_> you shall find out the proper version on that
[12:43] <Ridley5> i didint found anything related to my card
[12:44] <chn_> wired connection is OK?
[12:45] <Ridley5> didint test it chn_ :S
[12:45] <Ridley5> but a have trayed another wifi usb dongle with same problem
[12:45] <Jack_Sparrow__> Ridley5, you need to improve your search strings.  atheros wireless is an easy find
[12:46] <Ridley5> i found only the driver used already bu Ubuntu Jack_Sparrow__
[12:46] <Ridley5> on official site there is only the windows version
[12:50] <Jack_Sparrow__> On my atheros I just had to turn off its encryption and let the software handle it.   I replaced quiet and splash in grub with nohwcrypt=1
[12:52] <Ridley5> i wanna try that Jack_Sparrow__ , thanks
[12:53] <squig> sigh how do I deal with my /boots filling up with old kernels
[12:53] <squig> and then not being able to fix them because I have no disk space left
[12:53] <squig> is there a way to turn on autoremove?
[12:54] <BluesKaj> sudo apt-get autoremove, but dunno if it looks at /boot
[12:54] <squig> fails /boot is full :)
[12:54] <BluesKaj> then you may have to remove the old kernels manually
[12:56] <BluesKaj> squig,  sudo apt-get remove --purge 2.6.24-25-* (example)
[12:57] <squig> ok thanks
[12:59] <Jack_Sparrow__> Ridley5, also set ipv6 to ignore in your wireless settings
[12:59] <Ridley5> already set :)
[12:59] <squig> is there an apt config option to automatically do that?
[12:59] <squig> I have a lot of machines
[13:39] <usr13> squig: How many kernels do you have?
[13:40] <yeats> squig: 'sudo apt autoremove' should remove old kernels (which frees up /boot)
[13:40] <usr13> squig: Do you have a separate partition for /boot/ ?
[13:41] <yeats> squig: I just make a habit of doing an autoremove after kernel upgrades
[13:41] <usr13> I suppose autoremove would be ok after any upgrades
[13:43] <Jack_Sparrow__> Keep one known good kernal as backup
[13:43] <usr13> But the reason old kerenls are kept by default is so that if there are problems with the new kernel, one can revert to one of the older ones...
[13:45] <squig> yeats, I didn apt-get update and it install about 20 kernels filled the hd and then stopped installing any more
[13:45] <Jack_Sparrow__> Something odd there
[13:45] <usr13> squig: How long since your last update?
[13:45] <Jack_Sparrow__> Pastebin your sources
[13:46] <squig> I have no idea, 6 months.
[13:46] <squig> I have like 50 vms
[13:46] <Jack_Sparrow__> Use in Terminal:   inxi -Fxxrzc0 | pastebinit     Provide link  -  So We can see what hardware you are working with
[13:47] <usr13> squig: You should post your sources as Jack_Sparrow__ suggests... and other info...
[13:47] <squig> its ok, I worked around it manuanly deleted with rm the old kernels ,a dn then ran apt-get upgrade, and then autoremove
[13:47] <squig> but its a pretty bad design
[13:48] <squig> I would just like to turn autoremove on
[13:48] <Jack_Sparrow__> Something still odd there
[13:49] <usr13> squig: I don't know about manually deleting the kenrels.  I think it's better to use the package management system to do it.
[13:49] <squig> the packagement system wouldnt progress, until there was more space
[13:49] <squig> it would only autoremove once I had apt-get update finish
[13:50] <squig> and I couldnt because the /boot was full
[13:50] <usr13> squig: What is the size of the /boot/ partition?
[13:50] <squig> 300 megs
[13:50] <usr13> squig: Is it separate partition?
[13:50] <squig> yes
[13:51] <squig> ubuntu server install
[13:51] <Jack_Sparrow__> way too small
[13:51] <squig> its the default options
[13:51] <squig> I just press yes
[13:51] <Jack_Sparrow__> Still too small for what you want to do
[13:51] <usr13> squig: What size is the HD?
[13:51] <squig> its a vm
[13:51] <usr13> Oh yea...
[13:52] <squig> 20gigs of disk, runs one program, (jenkins)
[13:52] <squig> server intall, ssh, screen, and jenkins
[13:53] <squig> 5gigs used
[13:53] <yeats> squig: I wouldn't recommend automating software installation/removal - autoremove can sometimes remove things you need for other packages/services
[13:54] <yeats> squig: also, if you're managing multiple servers, look into things like ansible or puppet
[13:54] <squig> yes, I have puppet, but I didnt expect the package managment system to break itself :)
[13:55] <yeats> squig: it didn't break itself - ubuntu (rightly imho) leaves kernel removal up to the user/admin
[13:55] <squig> but it shouldnt also fill up the disk :)
[13:55] <squig> if it fails it should role back
[13:55] <yeats> sometimes you have a need for older kernels - you can also look into expanding the size of /boot
[13:55] <squig> so you can at least continue
[13:56] <squig> I just though great its a server install, I can just use lvm and give it some more disk
[13:56] <squig> but /boot, is directly mounted / is through lvm
[13:56] <yeats> squig: /boot needs to be its own partition because of the nature of bootstrapping
[13:57] <squig> sure, but its a hell of a pain when you put it on sda1
[13:57] <squig> and then the rest of the disk is after it, you cant grow, I can use lvm
[13:57] <Ichimusai>  Just make a new partition for boot, move it there, run the grub2 and initrd updates and should be fine.
[13:58] <squig> I mean I fixed it
[13:58] <squig> it works now
[13:58] <Ichimusai> Ok
[13:58] <yeats> squig: well, most long-time users have been bitten by what you've just experience - probably best to just know it works that way and plan for the future :-)
[13:58] <Ichimusai> I'd have shrunk the next partition and just expanded boot. Usually easy enough to do.
[13:58] <yeats> s/experience/experienced/
[13:58] <Ichimusai> These days I have a separate SSD for servers with only /boot and / where /usr and the rest comes from spinning rust.
[13:58] <squig> yes but also to have to do that for 50+ machiens
[13:59] <Ichimusai> Bite the bullet and don't design it like that again :) Whats the size of your /boot partition?
[14:00] <yeats> it's actually better than it used to be - autoremove used to not do that - you had to name all the installed kernels you wanted to remove
[14:00] <wjer> So I know Unity is dead.
[14:00] <wjer> But is there a fork?
[14:00] <Jack_Sparrow__> !abs
[14:00] <wjer> Jack_Sparrow__: I love you
[14:01] <Jack_Sparrow__> Back at ya
[14:03]  * wjer blushes
[14:04] <abendabend> how do i configure the default PDF printer?
[14:04] <wjer> Also
[14:04] <wjer> Jack_Sparrow__: since you seem to know ${variable}
[14:04] <wjer> You know of any good online bash tuts?
[14:05] <nchambers> http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide
[14:05] <Jack_Sparrow__> There is a #bash channel.. or two
[14:05] <nchambers> gross... abs
[14:06] <Jack_Sparrow__> wjer, type   /j #bash
[14:06] <wjer> Jack_Sparrow__: I know how to join a channel
[14:06] <wjer> I jsut wanted a online tutorial ; - ;
[14:06] <nchambers> I already linked you to one
[14:06] <leftyfb> wjer: didn't Jack_Sparrow__ just give you an "online tutorial"?
[14:06] <nchambers> but please don't use abs or tldp
[14:06] <wjer> why?
[14:06] <leftyfb> nchambers: what's wrong with that?
[14:07] <nchambers> /msg greybot !abs
[14:07] <yeats> abs is fine
[14:07] <nchambers> /msg greybot !tldp
[14:07] <wjer> !tldp
[14:07] <nchambers> that is not greybot
[14:08] <ray__> Should I expect any issues running kernel 4.12.0-rc1 with 16.04?
[14:08] <leftyfb> ray__: it's a release candidate. Not ready for production, but fine to try out
[14:09] <nchambers> just pulling up a random page in abs shows me something incorrect: "There are always three default files [1] open, stdin (the keyboard), stdout (the screen), and stderr (error messages output to the screen).".
[14:09] <ray__> yeah, besides that, just wanted to make sure there wasn't any known issues when not using the official kernel
[14:11] <wjer> So Canicol just released a new kernel update for 16.04
[14:11] <abendabend> im trying to change the default settings of the PDF printer but i can't find the configuration files.
[14:11] <wjer> But apt-get upgrade and apt-get dist-upgrade don't download it
[14:12] <leftyfb> wjer: try linux-image-generic-hwe-16.04
[14:12] <leftyfb> wjer: it's currently <IP_ADDRESS>.24
[14:13] <wjer> I never understood
[14:13] <wjer> what is the point of HWE kernels?
[14:14] <ray__>  Hardware Enablement (HWE) is about that: catching up with the newest hardware technologies.
[14:14] <ray__> just a more frequent update of hardware profiles/firmware
[14:14] <abendabend> yup HWE can make your life a bit easier
[14:14] <ray__> separate from the distro schedule of 6 months
[14:16] <wjer> So HWE is basically a newer kernel
[14:16] <ray__> more like, new drivers
[14:16] <ray__> but yeah, kernel mods
[14:18] <wjer> I never have this problem, I always use older hardware for better compatible
[14:18] <wjer> compatibiltiy*
[14:18] <abendabend> if you have to use a lot of backports and manual mod handling HWE could be the way to go.
[14:19] <ray__> hw is always an issue
[14:19] <abendabend> like on a gaming rig or high end work laptop
[14:19] <ray__> I just had to modify a custom kernel to get my scimitar pro rgb mouse to work
[14:19] <ray__>  Hardware Enablement (HWE) is about that: catching up with the newest hardware technologies.
[14:20] <abendabend> ray__, things improved immensly the last 5 years ime. Almost never have issues.
[14:20] <ray__> oops, Linux eye.hal.vision 4.12.0-rc1-scimitar-rgb-custom-hid-added #1 SMP Sun May 21 12:01:50 CDT 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux, my kernel now
[14:20] <ray__> hwe failed me
[14:20] <throstur> I VNC'd into a machine, and I wanted to open virtualbox gui, but I have to open a terminal from file browser to get it... where is the desktop GUI??
[14:21] <wjer> I'm installing a Musl/Linux system in a VM
[14:21] <wjer> is it possible to route certain packets to the VM through UFW masqurading?
[14:22] <abendabend> wjer, why not?
[14:22] <compdoc> throstur, are you saying you dont see the desktop using VNC?
[14:23] <throstur> compdoc: I only see a "File Explorer", with which I can open a terminal with "Open in Terminal"... but that's as far as "desktop" goes
[14:23] <throstur> and there is no icon for file explorer (so I dare not close it)
[14:23] <ray__> You'll need a router to manipulate packets
[14:23] <compdoc> throstur, yeah, Unity doesnt support a 2D desktop, which VNC and others need
[14:23] <throstur> Unity?
[14:24] <throstur> ahh.. I see
[14:25] <laceylaney> Installed xubuntu on a friends computer. She wants a pink cursor theme installed. Cannot find any on xfce/gnomelook or deviantart. Can anyone here link me to one or tell me how easily I can create one ??
[14:26] <PipeItToDevNull> laceylaney, Take any theme you like and recolor it
[14:27] <laceylaney> So if I copy a theme & just edit the colors in gimp that will work ??
[14:28] <ray__> yep
[14:28] <laceylaney> Awesome thanks for the help :-)
[14:28] <ray__> gl
[14:29] <laceylaney> Thanks :-)
[14:35] <topi`> is there a channel for ubuntu core support?
[14:36] <topi`> I untarred the core rootfs and booted, but it seems stuck in "A start job is running for dev-ttyS0.device"
[14:36] <topi`> and I did check the kernel log that ttyS0 is enabled
[14:37] <skinux> Which is the easiest FTP server (easiest setup) that doesn't use actual Linux accounts for FTP user accounts?
[14:37] <skinux> I know PureFTPd uses actual nix accounts.

[14:51] <Zigmus> He just wanted to talk :-)
[14:56] <fallentree> anyone seeing random processes crashing in 17.04 with a pagefault in the swap part of the kernel, when having a swapfile? I've moved to a swap partition and the crashes stopped.
[14:56] <squig> maybe there file has corruption
[14:58] <fallentree> I doubt that, the pagefault is caused by a BUG  statement refusing to move unlocked pages
[14:58] <fallentree> someone already reported the bug, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1690796

[14:59] <fallentree> in my case as well, just different processes
[15:00] <fallentree> sounds pretty severe, wanted to check if anyone else sees this, might be the cause of people reported 17.04 crashing frequently, since the swapfile is now a default on new installations
[15:02] <lotuspsychje> fallentree: have you marked yourself as affected?
[15:02] <fallentree> yah
[15:02] <ub_ubuntu> fallentree: Process crashing you mean??
[15:03] <lotuspsychje> fallentree: perhaps also remind it in #ubuntu-devel ?
[15:07] <fallentree> lotuspsychje: maybe, yeah
[15:13] <ALA70> one computer with ubuntu has suddenly stopped seeing the ethernet connection (for no apparent reason)
[15:14] <lotuspsychje> ALA70: any errors on your tail -f /var/log/syslog ?
[15:14] <ALA70> rebooted many times, also unplugged replugged cable...
[15:15] <lotuspsychje> ALA70: how about a sudo service network-manager restart? wich ubuntu version are you on?
[15:15] <ALA70> lotuspsychje: should i go try that now?
[15:16] <lotuspsychje> ALA70: if you want?
[15:16] <ALA70> lotuspsychje: 12.04lts
[15:16] <nacc> ALA70: 12.04 is eol
[15:16] <lotuspsychje> ALA70: 12.04 is end of life
[15:17] <lotuspsychje> ALA70: unless you have esm?
[15:17] <ub_ubuntu> \quit
[15:17] <nacc> lotuspsychje: but, aiui, esm wouldn't be supported here anyways
[15:17] <ALA70> i know will change asap
[15:18] <nacc> ALA70: it's 'too late' to change, you have to do an EOL upgrade already
[15:18] <nacc> !eolupgrade | ALA70
[15:18] <ALA70> but i dont think it's because of that (it worked until a while ago)
[15:18] <nacc> ALA70: we can't support EOL releases
[15:18] <ALA70> i need the connection to do the upgrade
[15:19] <nacc> ALA70: as lotuspsychje said earlier, i'd check syslog or dmesg for hw issues
[15:19] <scottjl>
[15:20] <leftyfb> ALA70: try reverting to the previous kernel on boot
[15:20] <ALA70> tried that already (didnt work)
[15:20] <lotuspsychje> leftyfb: that would be still eol
[15:21] <leftyfb> lotuspsychje: correct, but it could have got him to a functional state.
[15:21] <ALA70> eol is not the issue here (ethernet connection worked until a little ago)
[15:22] <ALA70> i want to get it to work again to do the upgrade
[15:22] <leftyfb> ALA70: that is understood. But most here will not help with supporting a system running an EOL release.
[15:22] <fallentree> ALA70: have you checked the logs for any clues of hardware issues, as asked several times now?
[15:22] <leftyfb> that said, I just got off a system running 8.04 last month :)
[15:23] <ALA70> ok i will go on the other computer and see, be back in a bit
[15:32] <ansme> hello there, what is the command which "collect all the urls in a website"?
[15:38] <thibaut> test
[15:42] <nicomachus> !test
[15:43] <nacc> ansme: the URLs? do you want to download them all?
[15:43] <bblindy> @ansme, are you thinking of curl or wget?
[15:45] <Xard> dragging a url link from browser to link desktop file seems to work, execpt launching the said desktop file results only an error dialog "There was an error launching the application"
[15:45] <ansme> yes nacc
[15:45] <Xard> moving of the desktop link doesn't seem to work either as nautilus tries to copy the content of the link instead of moving the .desktop file
[15:45] <nacc> ansme: then what bblindy said, probably
[15:45] <Perverso> hola, como estan?
[15:46] <ansme> tried curl and wget, but it display robot.txt bblindy
[15:46] <nacc> ansme: i believe that means the site doesn't want you doing that?
[15:47] <Perverso> :)
[15:48] <ansme> nacc: do you mean there is no ways?
[15:49] <bblindy> ansme: what user-agent is being passed in the wget request?
[15:50] <bblindy> depending on the site, robots.txt might be blocking any and all scraping attempts
[15:52] <ansme> bblindy: yes sir the *.txt do not allow me to get any url which i can surf through webbrowsers
[15:53] <Kyoku> Can anyone see why this ssh session fails? https://paste.ubuntu.com/24624182/ I can login fine when I use password authentication but not with public key
[15:53] <fallentree> bblindy: robots.txt doesn't block anything, it merely instructs "well behaving" bots what they "should" do
[15:54] <nicomachus> ansme: try randomizing the user agent.
[15:54] <pandaadb> Hi. I am seeing an issue where my two screen randomly turn off for a second or two before coming back on. One screen is hooked up via displaylink usb3 -> hdmi,  the otherone is connected to the laptop directly via hdmi. I tried googling the issue but I didn't find anything that helped, would someone have an idea on where to look?
[15:55] <pandaadb> i don't think i need to move the mouse/interact in any way. They just go black, then reappear
[15:55] <nicomachus> ansme: often, sites will block wget in particular in their robots.txt, but if you set the user-agent to something random it will work fine.
[15:55] <nicomachus> pandaadb: possibly a "sleep" function after being idle?
[15:56] <pandaadb> nicomachus, i am constantly working, this sometimes happens while typing
[15:56] <pandaadb> the only log line that i think is generated is: https://pastebin.com/Z166z88f
[15:57] <pandaadb> which kind of sounds like a "i am starting a screen" log message
[16:04] <bblindy> fallentree: fair point.
[16:04] <Perverso> y que hacen?
[16:04] <nicomachus> Perverso: just stop, man.
[16:04] <nicomachus> either speak English or go to #ubuntu-es
[16:05] <nicomachus> we don't need trolls.
[16:05] <Perverso> i'd like here
[16:05] <Perverso> ¬¬
[16:06] <Perverso> what is your problem?
[16:07] <nicomachus> You insist on randomly chiming in in Spanish, then when directed to #ubuntu-es for support you say "I don't speak spanish". So please, just lurk and be quiet or leave.
[16:08] <BluesKaj> with a nick like his , what do you expect ?
[16:09] <lkh> over and over I have problems with dropping wifi connection on my 17.04 system. Tried various workarounds - still same thing. What can I do to debug systematically?
[16:09] <mekhami> hm i can't get my ubuntu desktop to recognize my third monitor
[16:09] <mekhami> anyone have tips for troubleshooting this?
[16:10] <nicomachus> lkh: what's the wifi chipset?
[16:11] <lkh> nicomachus: Qualcomm Atheros QCA9565 / AR9565
[16:11] <nicomachus> ('sudo lshw -C network | pastebinit' if you aren't sure)
[16:13] <nicomachus> lkh: and which driver is it using?
[16:14] <chaoticlychaotic> mekhami, friend of mine had an issue where his machine wouldn't see his 4k until he installed proprietary drivers
[16:15] <lkh> nicomachus: here is what I pasted http://paste.ubuntu.com/24624440/
[16:16] <nicomachus> lkh: ok. ath9k is probably going to be the most reliable driver there..
[16:17] <nicomachus> which is what you have.
[16:18] <mekhami> how do i update my nvidia drivers to the latest and greatest
[16:18] <lkh> nicomachus: last time I asked on this channel, someone told me to disable DHCP and use a fixed IP. Basically didn'change anything.
[16:19] <nicomachus> i'm not sure that would do much...
[16:20] <nicomachus> are you fully dropping the connection or just losing DNS or what?
[16:21] <lkh> no, it's nothing DNS related. Connection drops, for reason 4, and than it doesn't reconnect again. althoug it's set up to connect automatically. I could paste you the syslog of such an event...
[16:22] <nicomachus> that may be helpful. let's see it.
[16:25] <lkh> nicomachus: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24624512/ in this case it reconnected alright, but oftentimes it doesn't. I'll try to find an example for that, too.
[16:26] <nicomachus> lkh: looking up reason=4, looks like it could be bluetooth interference. Is your bluetooth on and in use?
[16:28] <nicomachus> lkh: you might try disabling bluetooth, or changing the wifi channel.
[16:28] <nicomachus> lkh: see here: https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/Bluetooth-coexistence
[16:28] <lkh> nicomachus: no bluetooth on.
[16:28] <nicomachus> not enabled at all?
[16:29] <lkh> nope
[16:29] <ALA70> sorry for taking long. problems accessing the other computer (room locked). i will try later.
[16:30] <lkh> could it be interference with other wifi clients, too? because there are many in this place, and many networks...
[16:31] <ALA70> sudo service network-manager restart
[16:31] <ALA70> sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0
[16:31] <ALA70> whatz the difference?
[16:32] <ALA70> can i try the second one as well?
[16:35] <ALA70> thanks. have to go. (will check logs later)
[16:42] <mekhami> hey new question, i got my 4k monitor to start up, but now there's a yelowish tint to the whole screen and it's pretty low resolution
[16:42] <mekhami> i'm not using gnome, so how do i fix the display settings? fwiw i use i3wm
[16:45] <lkh> nicomachus: any other idea where I could ask?
[16:46] <lkh> is there a channel for wifi on linux related questions?
[16:46] <akik> lkh: did you disable power management on it?
[16:47] <lkh> not sure, how could I do that?
[16:47] <akik> lkh: check first with "iwconfig your_device"
[16:47]  * lkh thanks, nicomachus
[16:48] <Hexcat01> big problem, i wanted to reduce the size of a pdf using ghostscript and now the pdf is a single page blank file and i dont know how to revert it
[16:48] <lkh> Power Management: off ...
[16:49] <akik> lkh: ok so it's not that
[16:51] <lkh> akik: no, and I also tried this: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2358900&p=13634983#post13634983
[16:51] <lkh> didn't help
[16:52] <rx_> hello
[16:52] <lkh> although it seems after blacklisting acer-wmi it doesn't drop quite as often...
[16:52] <akik> lkh: try changing the wifi channel as nicomachus suggested, if there's less congestion
[16:57] <lkh> yeah... 14 networks on channel 1 ...
[16:57] <rx_> where in portugal there is a blue walle atacker
[16:58] <mekhami> no monitor/driver gurus here eh? this is frustrating. my 4k monitor is running at a low resolution (1920x1080@60hz) with the nvidia-381 drivers
[16:58] <mekhami> when i run xrandr -q it doesn't show me any higher available resolutions to set
[16:58] <thejman> Does unetbootin need its own partition?
[16:58] <thejman> SO that it won't overwrite my windows files?
[16:59] <rx_> unetbootin does not need partition
[17:00] <thejman> I assume I just choose "try" instead of "install when I reboot?
[17:00] <thejman> rx_: ^
[17:00] <rx_> i away
[17:00] <rx_> ok
[17:00] <thejman> ?
[17:01] <lkh> akik: thanks, signal seems to be better now. Still I wonder, why my linuxbox is the only device with these problems, two iphones and a chromebook seem to have no issues with wifi...
[17:02] <DJones> rx_: Do you have an Ubuntusupprt question? Thats all that is appropriate for this channel
[17:02] <akik> lkh: there are newer kernels built for ubuntu. they are called "mainline kernels". you could test if one of them works better for you
[17:03] <thejman> So in order to avoid overwriting all my files I choose "try" instead of "install" when using unetbootin?
[17:03] <rx_> I want to make 2 services one webserver and the other mail server none works
[17:03] <lkh> akik: and just, as I wrote that, I dropped out and had to reconnect manually...
[17:06] <DJones> rx_: Then you need to explain what you've done, what the error messages were, what you've done to diagnose the errors, setting up webservers and mail servers isn't simple, you need to explain every step you've done
[17:07] <DJones> rx_: As long as you can explain it the channel in a few short sentances, you might get a good response
[17:08] <davidj> Quick q., looking to display logs on my desktop in gnome3. Most sane way to do that? Preferably transparent + 'pinned'.
[17:09] <davidj> Wanted to show syslog so I can catch this crash bug in action. Too lazy to try to correlate the logs with crash time. :p
[17:14] <Perverso> what's goin on?
[17:20] <davidj> @Perverso Me? Not sure, just dies suddenly. Who knows really.
[17:21] <davidj> It dies in a way where I can't get to a console via another tty, otherwise I'd audit dmesg/logs/
[17:22] <QubeX2> Hi, I have no sound through HDMI 16.04, tried speaker-test on HDMI, DEV=0 dead
[17:22] <leftyfb> davidj: tail -f <log file>
[17:23] <QubeX2> could it be Amd drivers? Its a HP ProBook G4
[17:23] <Kyoku> i have a system with luks that prompts for passphrase on bootup is there a way to remove the need to enter the passphrase but still keep the drive encrypted?
[17:23] <Jack_Sparrow__> menu - control panel - sound hardware tab select hdmi out
[17:24] <QubeX2> did that with pavucontrol
[17:24] <util1> Hi everybody since last week-end updates I got troubles starting my PC  ...it began with a pannel asking me how to start my pc .....
[17:25] <Jack_Sparrow__> util1, pastebin your sources list
[17:25] <leftyfb> Kyoku: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dm-crypt/Device_encryption#Configuring_LUKS_to_make_use_of_the_keyfile
[17:26] <davidj> @leftyfb Moreso looking for a sane way to 'pin' a window transparently over top of everything, and yes — I know about tail ;) Thanks though.
[17:26] <Kyoku> thanks leftyfb
[17:27] <Kyoku> hmm, if i get this wrong - bad things
[17:28] <leftyfb> Kyoku: that's why you test it on a non-production system first
[17:28] <util1> hi Jack_sparrow when updates arrived I had to choose an option I didn't know what answer so I said stay the previous .... troubles began .... now it looks ok exept it takes 2.30 min to start my pc ...
[17:29] <Kyoku> i wish i had that luxury, i think i'll just leave it the way it is
[17:30] <nicomachus> lkh: sorry, I went to lunch. did you try changing the channel?
[17:30] <leftyfb> Kyoku: there's always VM's
[17:31] <Kyoku> good point, i could practice on a VM
[17:31] <lkh> nicomachus: yes, i tried - so so - right after that wifi dropped at once. Now it seems to be stable. What's puzzling is that our other devices like two iphones and a chromebook don't seem to have this problem at all...
[17:34] <nicomachus> lkh: well, they wouldn't be conflicting with a bluetooth device on the same board, in the same housing, set to the same channel..
[17:36] <lkh> no, but as I wrote, bluetooth is off - has been off all the time. I think it's interference with other devices ...
[17:36] <anddam> how do I wipe a label from a disk partition with wipefs?
[17:36] <anddam> namely I want to wipe /dev/sda6 that is ext4, I cannot (or rather don't want to) use --all since I fear it might wipe info about other partitions
[17:37] <leftyfb> anddam: why not use fdisk or gdisk?
[17:37] <nacc> anddam: what does wiping that particular device have to do with wiping a label?
[17:37] <anddam> aaand I shold have read the manual
[17:38] <anddam> leftyfb: I did delete the partition using cfdisk, wipefs doesn't do that job
[17:38] <anddam> nacc: I phrased that in a wrong way, I wanted to delete the previous fs signature
[17:39] <nacc> anddam: so why not just do `sudo wipefs /dev/sda6` ?
[17:39] <anddam> it was hiding in plain sight "Note  that  by default wipefs does not erase nested partition tables on non-whole disk devices.  For this the option --force is required."
[17:39] <dude> Hello
[17:39] <anddam> I was writing what I had tried, that is what yuo just wrote, when I captured the relevant bit in the man page that is open in the side window

[17:40] <nacc> anddam: ah ok
[17:40] <anddam> s/yuo/you/
[17:40] <anddam> another case solved
[17:40] <dude> Hi guys
[17:41] <dude> can someone help ?
[17:41] <leftyfb> dude: not until you ask a question
[17:41] <compdoc> there was a case?! cool!
[17:42] <dude> i want to understand the process of ubuntu development/bug fixing
[17:42] <anddam> mmm something's not very clear in that man page https://gist.github.com/anddam/a3e98cca00fab2bdfff9faae6d5cecdd
[17:43] <leftyfb> dude: that's kind of a loaded question(?).
[17:43] <dude> ok, i want to join ubuntu development/bug fixing where do i start ?

[17:45] <dmtd> Hi all, how do I make a module in rsync.conf able to be read and written to? I tried read only = false and write only = false in hopes that it allows read and write...but I keep getting an error saying the module is read only. Help!
[17:46] <pavlos> dude: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment
[17:48] <dude> thanks pavlos leftyfb
[17:51] <pavlos> dmtd: can you pastebin your rsyncd.conf ?
[17:53] <dmtd> pavlos: sure thing. http://paste.ubuntu.com/24625262/
[17:53] <dmtd> https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/Y2lCKH2B/
[17:54] <dmtd> https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/UBWbASnK/
[17:57] <pavlos> dmtd: can you give an absolute path for [m2] ... the error is that file permissions on [m2] are not ok.
[17:58] <dmtd> pavlos - yes I totally can. But that is interesting because the ~ directory is root, and the process is running as root.
[17:58] <jurii> bcv
[18:00] <wjer> Anyone here use LivePatch?
[18:00] <dmtd> pavlos: set to absolute path, still failing in same way
[18:01] <leftyfb> wjer: are you conducting a survey?
[18:02] <Bischoop> LOL
[18:03] <pavlos> dmtd: so [m2] path is /root/dir2, user is root and can r/w in there
[18:03] <wjer> leftyfb: just want to know how it's been before I enable it mysql
[18:03] <wjer> myself*
[18:05] <pacquito> Hey guys. Does anyone know how to use scp (ssh)? I mean, I've got a problem. I'm trying to transfer a file with no success.
[18:05] <pacquito> I'm already on the server by ssh, and I'm typing something like scp /test myip/home
[18:05] <pacquito> There is no results
[18:05] <wjer> enable the verbose flag.
[18:05] <dmtd> pavlos: well, /root/dir2 didn't exist yet. Just created it, but still failing
[18:05] <leftyfb> pacquito: scp /test myip:/home/
[18:06] <nacc> pacquito: with the ':', scp behaves (iirc) like cp
[18:06] <pacquito> I tried it.
[18:06] <pacquito> But I mean, I'm at a cafe rn. Which IP do I have to write?
[18:06] <wjer> pacquito: the target
[18:06] <leftyfb> pacquito: scp /path/to/somefile remote:/home/user/somefile
[18:06] <wjer> The source means nothing.
[18:07] <leftyfb> pacquito: wherever you're trying to scp to
[18:07] <nacc> pacquito: your original question also seemed odd
[18:07] <nacc> pacquito: you are already ssh'd to a remote
[18:07] <nacc> pacquito: what is your original actual issue.
[18:07] <pacquito> Yes I am
[18:07] <nacc> pacquito: do you want to copy from the server you are on to your local machine?
[18:08] <pacquito> Yes
[18:08] <leftyfb> why?
[18:08] <nacc> pacquito: don't do it from the remote
[18:08] <pacquito> Nono. I mean, I'm on my local machine connected to the server by ssh
[18:08] <leftyfb> pacquito: scp remoteserver:/some/remotefile /local/path/to/newfile
[18:08] <nacc> pacquito: go back to your local machine and do what leftyfb just typed :)
[18:08] <leftyfb> pacquito: disconnect from server
[18:08] <leftyfb> pacquito: scp remoteserver:/some/remotefile /local/path/to/newfile
[18:08] <nacc> pacquito: scp *uses* ssh, you don't need to run it over ssh
[18:09] <pacquito> Ohh I see
[18:09] <pacquito> Ill try it again
[18:09] <Metronomicon> Hello,im using win 7 and would like to try dual booting it with ubuntu.Is Wubi a viable option or should I do it the ¨hard¨ way?
[18:09] <leftyfb> Metronomicon: wubi is no longer
[18:10] <nicomachus> Metronomicon: I don't believe wubi is supported anymore. Create an Ubuntu USB and boot it up live, then select "dual-boot" when the option comes up.
[18:10] <leftyfb> there it is again
[18:10] <Metronomicon> thanks
[18:10] <leftyfb> oh, nm
[18:10] <wjer> Metronomicon: just select duelboot while instaling
[18:10] <pacquito> scp user@ip:/home/test /home/andav/ leftyfb nacc
[18:10] <nacc> pacquito: are you trying to recursively copy a directory?
[18:11] <nacc> pacquito: you want the -R flag then
[18:11] <leftyfb> negative
[18:11] <pacquito> Its just a text file to try
[18:11] <leftyfb> -r
[18:11] <leftyfb> -R only works for cp, not scp
[18:12] <leftyfb> pacquito: did you try it?
[18:12] <nacc> leftyfb: thanks, sorry about that
[18:12] <pacquito> leftyfb: Yes, it's not working yet
[18:12] <leftyfb> pacquito: what is your error?
[18:12] <leftyfb> pacquito: I know this works, I use this constantly
[18:14] <pacquito> leftyfb: it's working. thanks, man
[18:14] <wjer> So I was up earlier today talking to people
[18:14] <pacquito> Also does scp have a limit?
[18:14] <wjer> Anyone here have a suggestion for a HIDS that isn't Tripwire?
[18:14] <pacquito> I want to transfer a 1GB file, can I?
[18:14] <pacquito> leftyfb:
[18:14] <wjer> pacquito: the file size is limited to your filesyste,
[18:14] <leftyfb> pacquito: it does not. ... but, I would recommend rsync in that case
[18:14] <mekhami> so i have a problem with X server that the monitor is connected and X server seems to find it (Says it's connected and is on the highest resolution) but the monitor itself just goes back to sleep
[18:15] <fallentree> wjer: AIDE?
[18:15] <wjer> fallentree: I'll look into it
[18:15] <pacquito> leftyfb: same syntaxis?
[18:15] <leftyfb> pacquito: rsync -av remote:/path/to/remotefile /path/to/newfile
[18:16] <leftyfb> pacquito: if it's over a gig, might be nice to throw --progress in there at the end
[18:16] <wjer> I'm after a HIDS that doesn't log locally.
[18:16] <wjer> Kinda like a car alarm
[18:18] <arch-nemesis> wjer, ossec might be what you're looking for.
[18:18] <arch-nemesis> detects modified files, etc. Has central configuration.
[18:19] <pacquito> leftyfb: thanks again. it worked
[18:19] <wjer> I was wondering about ossec
[18:19] <pacquito> leftyfb: also is this the best way to transfer files?
[18:19] <wjer> Is it actually from Trendmicro?
[18:19] <leftyfb> pacquito: best is relative. I your case at the moment, my opinion would be it is
[18:19] <arch-nemesis> I'm not sure. I've used the product, but don't know that much about it really.
[18:19] <pacquito> leftyfb: If there is not other ways like ftp.
[18:19] <leftyfb> ftp is the worst
[18:20] <leftyfb> IMHO
[18:20] <pacquito> leftyfb: I'm thinking about transfer a 15 GB file, actually kinda afraid about is a bad idea to do it
[18:20] <ohnx-> hi! I'm running ubuntu 16.04 and was wondering, is there a way to downgrade to a linux 3.*.* kernel?
[18:20] <leftyfb> pacquito: rsync
[18:20] <leftyfb> ohnx-: why?
[18:20] <pacquito> cool
[18:20] <pacquito> thanks
[18:20] <ohnx-> to make vmware 11 work :/
[18:22] <leftyfb> ohnx-: There is probably an easier way to get vmware 11 to work. Or better yet, find another virtualization solution, Maybe an upgraded vmware.
[18:22] <ohnx-> oh interesting
[18:23] <ohnx-> lftyfb: i wanted to use unity mode with a windows guest
[18:23] <leftyfb> ok
[18:23] <leftyfb> ohnx-: try libvirt
[18:24] <ohnx-> k thanks
[18:29] <mekhami> hey i know you guys are getting tired of my questions but i have a new problem. i have 2 1920x1080 monitors and 1 4k monitor. when i hook these all up together the ui scaling is really really low on the high res monitor and the mouse cursor is gigantic on the other monitors
[18:29] <mekhami> any idea how to fix these two problems?
[18:32] <mekhami> i changed the dpi on the 4k monitor to be a bit higher and that helped
[18:32] <mekhami> weird that it changed the ui scaling on everything else though
[18:34] <mekhami> this is one thing i appreciate windows handling for me :(
[18:35] <akik> mekhami: did you use xrandr on that one output device?
[18:35] <mekhami> yeah
[18:35] <mekhami> xrandr --output DP-1 --dpi 120
[18:35] <freakyy> hi all. does anyone know this new method to get ubuntu on your windows 10 installation like, run at the same time on windows 10?
[18:36] <Random832> https://askubuntu.com/questions/393400/is-it-possible-to-have-two-different-dpi-configurations-for-two-different-screen
[18:36] <Random832> and https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HiDPI#Multiple_displays
[18:36] <mekhami> Random832 ▸ i saw that askubuntu thread
[18:36] <nacc> freakyy: that question doesn't really make sense. You can't run two OS at the same time. Do you mean the ubuntu subsystem for windows?
[18:37] <nacc> freakyy: or maybe you mean virtualization?
[18:37] <Random832> it looks like it basically amounts to pretending your 1080 monitors are 4K
[18:37] <Random832> you might need to disable the hardware mouse cursor
[18:37] <mekhami> xrandr is so complicated
[18:38] <spider_x> Just use ARandr
[18:38] <Random832> mekhami, for your mouse pointer issue (is the mouse pointer scaling not matching the other scaling), try this https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxquestions/comments/21h663/question_can_i_set_my_cursor_to_be_a_software/
[18:38] <spider_x> it is a GUI version of Xrandr
[18:39] <freakyy> nacc: thanks i already have an answer - its the linux subsystem i wanna use
[18:39] <freakyy> i already have it installed just now ;D
[18:40] <freakyy> thanks for your help
[18:40] <mekhami> spider_x ▸ arandr is good for positioning and resolution
[18:40] <mekhami> not so much for dpi or.. well basically anything
[18:41] <codepython777> Anyone can help me fix audio on this machine: https://paste.ubuntu.com/24625618/
[18:42] <pavlos> dmtd: I created my own test env, I was able to transfer files to /tmp which is 777. I think you need to make sure the DEST has R/W perms as well as the folder under it
[18:42] <codepython777> It was an X auth problem
[18:43] <dmtd> pavlos: Just set both directories for both modules on remote to 777 for testing and it still doesn't work :(
[18:49] <mekhami> man this is so painful
[18:49] <mekhami> all my terminals are screwy when i add one hi dpi monitor
[18:52] <pavlos> dmtd: rsync -rdtv rsync://host:915/m2/ should list the files in [m2], right?
[18:52] <Nilanjana> I did a fresh install of Ubuntu.. And then  installed gtk3 from source. I rebooted my computer and now my desktop screen is flickering! Any suggestions regarding this? Thanks :)
[18:54] <lkh> nicomachus: I found this in syslog: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24625766/
[18:55] <dmtd> pavlos: yes. That displays everything in the folder. But when running the rsync command like this, it fails and says module is read only in the server log: rsync -rltDz --delete --stats \
[18:55] <dmtd>     --filter='- /logs/' \
[18:55] <dmtd>     . rsync://remotehost:915/appcore
[18:56] <lkh> that's the really annoying part. It seems the password is wrong but it isn't. I have to manually retype it, when this happens...
[18:57] <pavlos> dmtd: can you comment [appcore] and test only with [m2]
[18:58] <lkh> and by now i'm conviced, changing that channel doesn't help... same as before
[19:10] <nicomachus> lkh: digging.
[19:11] <nicomachus> lkh: that reason=WRONG_KEY is odd... any chance the password ont hat connection was changed recently?
[19:13] <lkh> no, not at all, always same password. but I think this seems to be the core problem here: not so much that wifi is dropping from time to time, but that's re-authentication seems to have issues...
[19:14] <nicomachus> lkh: right. one sec, we're onto something.
[19:14] <lkh> wpa_supplicant...?
[19:15] <nicomachus> lkh: can you show me 'tail -f /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log'?
[19:15] <nicomachus> or is that what you pasted before?
[19:15] <BluesKaj> ikh, set nm for all users and the constant authentication dialog goes away
[19:16] <lkh> nicomachus: I don't have that file...
[19:16] <nicomachus> good.
[19:17] <ioria> lkh, you could try to stop/disable NM and set a /e/n/interfaces  with a cleat_text passphrase, just for test  (maybe the encryption  is the issue)
[19:18] <nicomachus> it'd be great if all these connect fail reasons were delineated someplace...
[19:18] <lkh> you refer to those REASON=n?
[19:19] <nicomachus> yea
[19:19] <nicomachus> they aren't on any of the wpa_supplicant man pages.
[19:22] <lkh> ioria: long time since i last edited interfaces by hand ... but I'll try that...
[19:23] <dmtd> pavlos: still doesn't work. Same error
[19:23] <ioria> nicomachus, https://www.aboutcher.co.uk/2012/07/linux-wifi-deauthenticated-reason-codes/
[19:23] <nicomachus> well that's helpful. thanks.
[19:23] <mekhami> do people still exist with a solid understanding of X server D=
[19:23] <nicomachus> mekhami: yea. are they here? who knows.
[19:23] <nicomachus> better to just ask your question and cross your fingers.
[19:23] <ioria> lkh, https://askubuntu.com/questions/245806/what-is-the-correct-syntax-for-etc-network-interfaces
[19:23] <mekhami> i guess this is what i get for trying to mix high and low dpi monitors
[19:23] <mekhami> it's just unfortunate cause windows and os x do it so easily
[19:24] <anddam> I'm copying some big file from a partition to another on the same SSD disk, I see about 15MB/s throughput, isn't that a bit low?
[19:24] <nicomachus> mekhami: instead of complaining, how about asking a question?
[19:24] <anddam> should I check/tune something?
[19:24] <mekhami> nicomachus ▸ ??? i've been asking questions for half an hour
[19:24] <mekhami> if not more
[19:25] <mekhami> sorry you missed it but maybe tone down the condescension
[19:25] <lkh> ioria, nicomachus:  bookmarked both: so my problem is not so much reason 4, but reason 15 ...
[19:25] <guest-2Ns1DE> hi all
[19:25] <pavlos> dmtd: see pm
[19:25] <ioria> lkh,  15     4-Way Handshake timeout
[19:25] <dmtd> pavlos: got it
[19:26] <lkh> yep
[19:27] <nicomachus> lkh: yea, I would say that it's the handshake or something causing auth issues. May even be worth nuking that connection info in network-manager and re-doing it.
[19:28] <lkh> yes, that's the first thing I'll try right now...
[19:28] <mustmodify> I'm trying to think about how to find duplicate files in a directory. So I could `find . -type f | xargs md5sum`
[19:28] <mustmodify> but then what?
[19:29] <mustmodify> is there a "group by" option?
[19:29] <mustmodify> group by sum and then list those files?
[19:29] <mustmodify> this is more of a bash question, duh.
[19:29] <mustmodify> Sorry.
[19:29] <nacc> mustmodify: nice self-correction; typically people do | sort | uniq
[19:30] <woodse07> hi
[19:30] <woodse07> Anyone here?
[19:30] <nacc> woodse07: yes, many people.
[19:30] <Spec> |sort|uniq -c|sort -n # have a sad
[19:30] <nacc> woodse07: ask your ubuntu support question, if you have one.
[19:31] <woodse07> I'm completely new to linux
[19:31] <woodse07> Have installed maybe an hour ago
[19:31] <nacc> !manual | woodse07
[19:31] <woodse07> I'm trying to use bitlbee
[19:31] <woodse07> and connect it with facebook
[19:33] <anddam> hdparm -t shows about 500 MB/s so I figure that's alright
[19:33] <ducasse> woodse07: you need the bitlbee-facebook plugin, didn't work too well last i tried though. ask the bitlbee people for support.
[19:33] <mekhami> nicomachus ▸ my problem is i have 1 high dpi monitor and two low dpi monitors and X server doesn't let you set dpi independently on different monitors
[19:34] <mekhami> nicomachus ▸ so then i have to 'scale' the monitors but i'm not entirely sure how that works and when i try to change the scale of the two lower dpi monitors to 2x2 they stack on top of each other
[19:34] <mekhami> nicomachus ▸ and then i imagine i need to do something with the framebuffers but i have no idea what those are or what they need to be set to

[19:36] <BluesKaj> has use the server textbox not the chat, hashwagon
[19:37] <BluesKaj> hashwagon, you probly should change your pwd now
[19:38] <hashwagon> BluesKaj: it was a troll sorry. Thanks for being considerate ;)
[19:38] <Guy1524> I want to use gallium nine on my intel sandy bridge integrated graphics
[19:39] <Guy1524> I found this article from 4 years ago, is this project still being worked on / installable in 16.04.2
[19:39] <Guy1524> http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTM1OTc
[19:43] <nacc> Guy1524: i'm pretty sure those area ll there by default
[19:44] <pacquito> leftyfb: said if the file is over a gig, might be nice to throw --progress in there at the end. I was reading about and it said its purpose is to make it much easier to  specify these two options for a long transfer that may be interrupted. But what about if is a zip file? Is it gonna help?
[19:44] <pacquito> Also do I have to run -progress once I'm able to or just rsync -av?
[19:45] <BluesKaj> hashwagon, a troll ?
[19:45] <lkh> ioria, nicomachus: i have set up my network in /e/n/interfaces now... see how it works.
[19:45] <hashwagon> BluesKaj: yeah, the situation is under control now.
[19:45] <ioria> lkh, good luck
[19:47] <leftyfb> pacquito: rsync -av remote:/path/to/remotefile /path/to/newfile --progress
[19:49] <pacquito> leftyfb: gotcha. My question was, is it help in case im transfering a .zip? because it said it just helps to restart the transfer with no files lossings
[19:49] <ffs443_> hi
[19:50] <leftyfb> pacquito: it'll work
[19:50] <pacquito> thanks!
[20:02] <wiretapt> hello
[20:04] <al2o3-cr> hi
[20:10] <jonas_> Hi, a question: how can i install libpng12-0 in ubuntu? i have ubuntu 17.04 and want to install wps office but that's not possible without that libpng12-0
[20:11] <Guest93073> good day to you all
[20:11] <genii> !info libpng12-0 zesty
[20:12] <darthanubis> jonas_, https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/amd64/libpng12-0/download
[20:13] <leftyfb> jonas_: https://askubuntu.com/questions/840257/e-package-libpng12-0-has-no-installation-candidate-ubuntu-16-10-gnome/840268
[20:13] <darthanubis> jonas_, https://askubuntu.com/questions/840257/e-package-libpng12-0-has-no-installation-candidate-ubuntu-16-10-gnome/840268
[20:15] <leftyfb> jonas_: http://bfy.tw/BwLy
[20:15] <oerheks> https://packages.ubuntu.com/zesty/libpng16-16
[20:17] <jonas_> leftyfb: not very helpful, i googled it but i wasn't able to find something helpful
[20:17] <ducasse> jonas_: ask whoever makes wps office to build it against a later libpng version
[20:18] <leftyfb> jonas_: seriously? You followed all of those possible workarounds and none worked?
[20:18] <mikeymop> is gnome 3.24 being backported to xenial?
[20:18] <mikeymop> i haven't been able to find a repo even by webupd8
[20:18] <ducasse> mikeymop: that is highly unlikely
[20:19] <mikeymop> dang
[20:19] <mikeymop> what is it now? 3.22?
[20:19] <jonas_> leftyfb: when i google libpng12-0 i only found some websites for older ubuntu versions and i'm not that experienced so i thought it would be a good idea to ask that question here
[20:20] <genii> ar -x their .deb file, adjust the dependency file to be >= instead of =, repack it and install it
[20:20] <jonas_> oerheks: does that package work the same way that libpng12-0 package would work?
[20:20] <leftyfb> jonas_: except the link I gave you wasn't a google search for libpng12-0
[20:20] <mcphail> jonas_: generally, you wouldn't want to "install" an unsupported library version. You can download the deb, unpack it and use "LD_PRELOAD" to try to use that version instead of the installed one
[20:21] <mcphail> jonas_: ymmv etc
[20:21] <oerheks> jonas_, if it is build against it, yes, else you might want to try to ln it
[20:22] <oerheks> or build it yourself indeed, and publish it on launchpad in a ppa
[20:23] <jonas_> as is said i actually don't know nothing about linux or ubuntu apart from the few things you normally need
[20:24] <jonas_> so i don't get everything you want to tell me..somehow everything was a bit easier in linux mint
[20:25] <leftyfb> jonas_: no, you were just running an older version of that library which WPS seems to want
[20:26] <backbox> hi
[20:26] <leftyfb> jonas_: btw, what's wrong with libreoffice?
[20:28] <jonas_> it's complicated as hell, i do never find what i need..wps office or ms office are way easier to handle for me
[20:29] <jonas_> so of course..if you work with libreoffice very frequently you won't have any problems bc than you know where you can find everything
[20:29] <leftyfb> jonas_: what about office.com ?
[20:30] <jonas_> and libre office is very feature rich that's true..but as i said you need to find these features
[20:31] <jonas_> i will try onlyoffice now..my second (or third) choice after that would be google docs
[20:32] <leftyfb> jonas_: what about office.com ?
[20:32] <jonas_> don't want to spend money
[21:20] <sshifty> Hi! Recently I bought a laptop : Acer f5-573G. It has a keyboard backlit, I can turn it on/off with function button. However if I don't type within 30 secs it goes off, pressing a buttona gain will turn it on. Any suggestions?
[21:22] <nacc> sshifty: is that perhaps BIOS controlled?
[21:24] <sshifty> nacc: I don't know for sure. I'm  quite new(few days) with linux. wanted to go to BIOS, but it asked for a password, tho my password to my account doesn't seem good
[21:24] <nacc> sshifty: BIOS password is unrelated to the OS
[21:24] <nacc> sshifty: would have been set, if at all, when you first configured your laptop (preinstallation)
[21:24] <genii> According to Acer's forums, it's controlled by an ambient light sensor. Maybe find where that is and stick some elecrical tape over it
[21:24] <sshifty> nacc: can I somehow make a new password  ?
[21:24] <nacc> genii: ah interesting, mine has that too (iirc) and can be toggled to 'always on' in BIOS
[21:25] <Perverso> o_o
[21:28] <sshifty> nacc: anyways thanks for the help, gonna solve it thru BIOS
[21:28] <sshifty> genii: you as well, thanks
[21:31] <Broly> hi
[21:31] <Perverso> your welcome
[21:31] <Broly> may i ask what leftyfb does?
[21:31] <Broly> how do people earn cloaks in particular?
[21:32] <mwd> Broly, ask nicely
[21:32] <Broly> no contribution necessary?
[21:32] <Random832> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Cloaks https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership
[21:32] <mwd> it's a freenode thing
[21:33] <Broly> well i know cloaks are given for unaffiliated easily
[21:33] <mwd> ah, you want a ubuntu cloak. see Random832's link
[21:33] <Random832> mwd, well the specific cloak leftyfb has is an ubuntu thing
[21:33] <Broly> ye
[21:33] <Broly> he's a closet-racist latino who adheres to nazi ideology and doesn't like indo-greeks who show their capabilities
[21:33] <leftyfb> lol
[21:33] <Broly> he is having difficulty reconciling his view of india's hindus and muslims with a third demograhpic
[21:33] <leftyfb> someone please boot this troll
[21:33] <Broly> he keeps bugging me even though he said he wouldn't after he lost the argument the first time
[21:34] <Broly> he came back for more again, made himself look even more stupid, and i had to ignore him after that
[21:34] <Random832> ok clearly i should have noticed Broly's vanity host as a sign of a troll
[21:34] <Broly> he claims i'm a racist because it was obvious english was his second language
[21:34] <Broly> no my vhost doesn't mean i'm a troll. that's poor inference
[21:34] <leftyfb> the sad part is, he doesn't believe he's a troll
[21:34] <Broly> why can't you reconcile a fun vhost with some merit. is it hard for you to believe someone could be so accomplished with computers and scholarly activities that they can actually back up the vhost?
[21:35] <nacc> Broly: please respect the channel and stay on topic
[21:35] <leftyfb> heh
[21:35] <Broly> in any case, aside from the vhost, i am going to provide both logs and make of it what you will. he resorted to lying about his ethnicity so he could "win" the argument (which he still lost)
[21:35] <leftyfb> nacc: that won't happen. Fair warning
[21:35] <Random832> I'm pretty sure that's not how you back up that vhost
[21:35] <Broly> the main reason i've joined is my problem with this user on the ubuntu cloak
[21:36] <Broly> i asked him what he did he had no answer. he deferred and started calling me a trump fan (i'm not even american)
[21:36] <mwd> you can use /ignore
[21:36] <Random832> the only way to back up that vhost is to actually give jessica and ashlee simpson your... sticky napalm. And I suspect they don't want it.
[21:36] <nacc> Random832: please stop.
[21:36] <Broly> i had to, but i wished it would have been him that did it
[21:36] <Broly> random832 is just another person who can't reconcile a real "intellect" using IRC
[21:36] <Broly> seems to be a common theme.
[21:36] <nacc> Broly: this is the ubuntu support channel. Your squabbles, legitimate or otherwise are not ontopic here.
[21:36] <Broly> who do i take this up with then
[21:37] <Random832> the community council i suppose
[21:37] <Mdrs> Hello, I'm new to linux. Everytime I turn on my laptop, as soon as it starts loading the OS the cd-rom ejects. Also it ejects randomly when I'm using it. Any way for me to find out what's causing it?
[21:37] <Broly> that's outrageous. council. this guy shouldn't be the one antagonising others. it's so simple to ignore me. yet after the first encounter he wanted more
[21:37] <nacc> Broly: #ubuntu-ops
[21:37] <Broly> thank you
[21:37] <nacc> Broly: as documented in \topic's link
[21:38] <Mdrs> TL;DR is there any way to find out why my cdrom is ejecting on startup and randomly? Any logs or something like that?
[21:39] <mwd> Mdrs, only haunted computers do that ;)
[21:39] <Random832> Mdrs, could it be a physical problem, like the button is getting pressed somehow?
[21:40] <mwd> does it happen before ubuntu or after?
[21:40] <Mdrs> Random832: I don't think so, because everytime I turn it on, as soon as the OS starts loading it pops open. I've even removed the DVD drive from the boot list in BIOS
[21:40] <Perverso> hola, como estan?
[21:40] <psychoticwarrior> speak english
[21:40] <nacc> !es | Perverso
[21:41] <Random832> no idea and i need to go, sorry
[21:41] <Mdrs> Also I'm using linux mint, from what I've read it's  based on ubuntu, couldn't find any channels for linux mint on IRC

[21:49] <Broly> i asked you elky, and this is how you act?
[21:50] <Haris> ?
[21:50] <ikonia> just a troll...ignore
[21:50] <Haris> I am not though
[21:51] <Haris> can't seem to figure out why mysql is binding to localhost when I'v configured it to bind with lan IP of machine ?
[21:52] <ikonia> Haris: how did you tell it what interface to bind to
[21:52] <Haris> the /etc/mysql/my.cnf ?
[21:52] <ikonia> Haris: so why do you think it's only bound to the loopback ?
[21:52] <Haris> bind-address = IP
[21:53] <ikonia> Haris: (may nee a little more context)
[21:53] <Haris> ?
[21:53] <Haris> netstat -natp output shows its bound to only localhost IP
[21:53] <Haris> not LAN IP
[21:53] <ikonia> pastebin your netstat output please
[21:53] <ikonia> use netstat -a | grep LIST
[21:54] <Haris> https://pastebin.ca/3815699
[21:54] <Haris> hmm
[21:55] <ikonia> Haris: change the command to what I asked
[21:55] <Haris> https://pastebin.ca/3815700
[21:56] <Haris> doesn't change the output though
[21:56] <Haris> still same
[21:56] <ikonia> Haris: no, that looks like it's actually listening on all interfaces
[21:57] <ikonia> Haris: what happens if you telnet $ip $port
[21:57] <Haris> telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
[21:58] <Haris> same result when I telnet from localhost on the destination machine
[21:58] <Haris> i.e., its not listening on LAN IP
[21:59] <Haris> how does it say its listening on all interfaces from that output ?
[21:59] <ikonia> Haris: *:*
[21:59] <Haris> tcp        0      0 localhost:mysql         *:*                     LISTEN   <---
[21:59] <Haris> its listening from *.* but listening on localhost:mysql
[22:00] <ikonia> yup
[22:00] <Haris> so, its not listening on all interfaces
[22:00] <Haris> just localhost IP
[22:00] <Haris> is it not reading the config file ?
[22:00] <ikonia> no, thats just the hostname it's bound to - one moment I'll show you
[22:00] <Haris> hmm
[22:00] <eam> Haris is correct, it is only listening on localhost
[22:00] <ikonia> one moment
[22:01] <ikonia> ahh, ok, it's bound to localhost as an interface
[22:01] <ikonia> sorry, took me a moment to see it
[22:01] <eam> Haris: did you share your my.cnf somewhere?
[22:01] <Haris> not yet
[22:01] <ikonia> Haris: this is dumb, but did you stop/start the mysql server after the change, and yes, please share your my.cnf
[22:01] <Haris> yep. multiple times
[22:02] <djk> is there a samba package for the 4.6.3 release?
[22:04] <Haris> https://pastebin.ca/3815709
[22:04] <ikonia> Haris: I wonder if there is a param in the unit file for it
[22:04] <Haris> hmm
[22:04] <ikonia> I don't think thats the case, but I'm just thinking outloud
[22:06] <Haris> there's a debian.cnf in /etc/mysql on ubuntu 14.04
[22:06] <Haris> in the mysql_upgrade section has host = localhost
[22:08] <Haris> ah. mysql has some sort of watchdog on ubuntu
[22:08] <Haris> the watchdog is auto-restarting it when I kill it
[22:11] <Haris> how do I kill the watchdog or remove mysql from it
[22:11] <Haris> on 14.04
[22:12] <ikonia> didn't know it had that,
[22:12] <ikonia> is it upstart thats controlling it ?
[22:14] <nacc> djk: not in Ubuntu's respositories. Debian hasn't updated yet either (due to their freezes) so seems unlikely Ubuntu will without good reason
[22:17] <Haris> how to have more than one address in bind-address
[22:18] <nacc> Haris: for MySQL?
[22:18] <Haris> yes
[22:18] <nacc> Haris: probably better asked in a mysql channel, but does the online manual help?
[22:19] <Haris> <IP_ADDRESS>
[22:19] <nacc> Haris: that will use all ipv4 addresses, yes
[22:21] <thejman> Do you reccomend partitioning a drive or installing ubuntu alongside windows 10?
[22:21] <Haris> apparently, <IP_ADDRESS> hasn't helped in making it listen on localhost as well
[22:22] <djk> nacc: I'm finding it to 4.3 versions was hoping to get to 4.6 guess I'll trying manually install just prefer to use packages when I can. thanks
[22:22] <thejman> I heard there were issues installing ubuntu alongside windows 10 vs putting it on its own partition
[22:25] <Haris> ubuntu has wierd watchdog. need info about it. how to set it up. how to modify its config
[22:26] <nacc> djk: i am unable to parse what you just said -- 4.3? that's what is in 14.04/16.04, yes.
[22:26] <nacc> djk: 4.6 isn't packaged at all yet, you can see if there is maybe a ppa (with the undrestanding it's unsupported)
[22:26] <nacc> djk: why do you need 4.6?
[22:27] <nacc> !latest | djk
[22:27] <coffeeguy> hi i had an update hard shutdown my ubuntu vm, is there a command to check the ubuntu vm disk?
[22:27] <coffeeguy> ?fsck?
[22:28] <nacc> coffeeguy: if it shut down incorrectly, it will fsck on its own (like a normal system) on boot (iirc)
[22:28] <djk> issues with windows 10 client seeing samba server on the 4.3 release have seen hints that the issue might be addressed with 4.6
[22:29] <coffeeguy> aah ok ty nacc, I though it did but 'sudo apt update' is coming up with errors and it's very slow
[22:29] <arooni> can anyone help me to enable gpu acceleration on ubuntu 16.04 ?  here is the output of gpu:// on the chrome command line

[22:31] <coffeeguy>  sudo touch /forcefsck ?
[22:32] <nacc> coffeeguy: that looks like broken networking, not disk issues, necessarily?
[22:32] <coffeeguy> ahh ok hmm
[22:32] <nacc> coffeeguy: yeah, iirc
[22:34] <Bashing-om> coffeeguy: Maybe better<EMAIL_ADDRESS>.
[22:34] <cburke> Hello all, I need some help with xinput
[22:35] <coffeeguy> ok thanks nacc Bashing-om  :)
[22:35] <cburke> If someone could help me, or direct me somewhere where someone could help me that'd be great
[22:35] <lilym> oo
[22:37] <Bashing-om> cburke: Ask the question about xinput . see what we know about it :)
[22:37] <alexa> I've installed the second HDD, so now I have 2 x 1TB :D
[22:38] <alexa> I want to update GRUB, but the problem is that one of HDD is using MBR and the second GPT. How to update GRUB appropriately.
[22:38] <alexa> The second HDD is GPT.
[22:39] <nacc> alexa: well, grub is only installed on one of them
[22:39] <alexa> nacc, yes, it is installed on the first HDD. But I want to be able to choose from the GRUB.
[22:39] <nacc> alexa: why? you have multiple OS?
[22:39] <alexa> So far I can only choose OS from the first.
[22:39] <nacc> alexa: you never mentioned that
[22:40] <alexa> nacc, yes. On the first I've got Ubuntu and Win10
[22:40] <alexa> And it works like charm.
[22:40] <alexa> But I've installed the second HDD, and thus it's GPT, so it has win10 installed.
[22:40] <cburke> I have a tablet that is supposed to have pressure sensitivity, output of evtest shows pressure sensitivity is working, but output of xinput test shows button presses instead of pressure, as if it were a mouse
[22:41] <nacc> alexa: you still have grub in one place with multiple hard drives, afaict. You just need to configure grub to look for OSes on the second hard drive.
[22:41] <nacc> alexa: you want multiple windows 10 installations?
[22:41] <alexa> no really. I will remove the win10 from the first
[22:41] <nacc> alexa: also, your use of 'thus' and 'so' is confusing -- those are choices afaict
[22:41] <nacc> alexa: oh i see
[22:41] <nacc> alexa: i'm not sure, maybe someone else can help
[22:42] <alexa> I'm finally getting the HDD just for Linux. So far I had to shard my HDD with brother (me using Linux and him using Win)
[22:42] <cburke> I don't have a clue how to configure this, I'm thinking of doing something stupid like writing a bash script to watch evtest and manually setting the pressure from that
[22:42] <nacc> cburke: i have a guess that pressure is a synthesized event
[22:42] <nacc> cburke: and xinput only looks for clicks/types, afaict (and other X events)
[22:42] <alexa> nacc, sorry, I'm not a native English speaker. That's why I may have exagerated when it came to using the word "thus".
[22:42] <mekhami> anybody super awesome with X wanna help me figure out this problem? https://gist.github.com/mekhami/d77894fdf939b3a62d61d684529cabe4 i'm trying to set up three monitors, one of which is hires
[22:43] <cburke> nacc: are you saying xinput should not see the pressure?
[22:44] <cburke> nacc: xinput list <device> shows 3 axes, including "ABS PRESSURE"
[22:44] <cburke> as well as ~7 buttons, I assume hardware buttons on screen and buttons on the pen
[22:45] <nacc> cburke: where do you want pressure to be used?
[22:47] <cburke> mypaint, krita, among other digital painting tools
[22:47] <cburke> maybe blender? @nacc
[22:48] <mattgyver> Anyone else have issues with systemd-resolve not picking up DNS for DHCP clients?

[22:49] <lilym> meow
[22:50] <cburke> nacc, i have tried but they do not detect the pressure, have been trying, guessing that maybe xinput just doesn't register, can't get it to do anything except behave like a mouse
[22:50] <nacc> cburke: what device is this?
[22:50] <cburke> huion gt 220
[22:51] <cburke> er, nacc: huion gt 220
[22:51] <nacc> cburke: LP: #1675473 ?
[22:52] <cburke> nacc: I'm sorry, I don't know what that means
[22:52] <nacc> cburke: see the link
[22:52] <nacc> cburke: LP is LaunchPad which is Ubuntu's bug tracker
[22:52] <cburke> oh ok
[22:53] <nacc> cburke: and the bot knows how to do lookups of a bug # given that prefix :)
[22:53] <cburke> nacc: I googled "LP #xxxx", but now i see the bot
[22:53] <nacc> cburke: you can also always do http://pad.lv/<bug #>
[22:53] <cburke> I've tried 16.04 and 16.10, perhaps the solution is to downgradE?
[22:54] <nacc> cburke: well, that bug claims 17.04 (which is newer) fixed it
[22:54] <cburke> OK, I will try that
[22:54] <nacc> cburke: no guarantees, i might just try it with a live usb or something
[22:54] <cburke> nacc, tyvm you are a hero regardless of whether it works
[22:55] <nacc> cburke: gl! tablets are never particularly easy :)
[22:55] <cburke> nacc: I borked my freakin package manager like 2 days ago, so I already wiped it anyway... something to do with python
[22:55] <nacc> cburke: ah ... did you try to switch your python or something?
[22:56] <micProblem> hello
[22:58] <Shmam> Trying to install https://github.com/maddox/dasher with npm install and getting this error: http://paste.debian.net/934292/
[22:58] <nacc> Shmam: it would appear you don't have pcap.h file that that program needs
[22:59] <Shmam> I cloned the entire repo
[22:59] <nacc> Shmam: i doubt it's being shipped in the repo.
[22:59] <Shmam> does that mean that the repo is missing it or that I need to download it
[22:59] <Shmam> I checked and I have g++ and build-essentials
[22:59] <nacc> Shmam: neither of which probably pull in your library dependencies
[22:59] <geirha> It requires the header files for a specific library
[22:59] <nacc> Shmam: libpcap0.8-dev or so
[22:59] <nacc> Shmam: what version of ubuntu?
[23:00] <Shmam> 16.04
[23:00] <nacc> Shmam: read the first line of the github "Dasher App" entry
[23:00] <geirha> https://packages.ubuntu.com/  ->  Search the contents of packages  ->  pcap/pcap.h
[23:00] <nacc> Shmam: specifically "Simply install the dependencies"
[23:00] <nacc> Shmam: which it would appear you might not have done
[23:01] <Shmam> I was following a tutorial that didn't go over that sorry
[23:01] <Shmam> it worked :D thanks for the help
[23:01] <nacc> Shmam: not sure why you'd use a tutorial when that github page tells you waht to do
[23:01] <Shmam> :)
[23:01] <nacc> Shmam: np
[23:02] <cburke> nacc: It was something to do with virtualenv, I always end up destroying things with virtualenv
[23:02] <nacc> cburke: i see
[23:03] <cburke> nacc: between python 2.7 and 3 and virtualenv and whatever the default is, and pip and apt-get, there is just too much for me to keep track of
[23:09] <mekhami> is it recommended to upgrade desktop ubuntu with do-release-upgrade
[23:09] <mekhami> or no
[23:13] <nacc> mekhami: you can, or you can use the GUI tools
[23:14] <Bashing-om> mekhami: How you do the release upgrade does not matter . all Are front ends to the package management system . I do find the terminal for the info better .
[23:14] <mekhami> just making sure it's not like something that fails or is sorta incomplete
[23:14] <mekhami> in the past i've always "upgraded" by doing a completely clean install of the OS from a thumb drive. =P
[23:15] <Bashing-om> mekhami: Well if the current install is "incomplete" then yes the upgrade will fail :)
[23:18] <cburke> nacc: worked straight away on 17.04
[23:18] <nacc> cburke: nice :)
[23:18] <nacc> cburke: just remember to upgrade to 17.10 in about 6 months
[23:18] <nacc> cburke: and sooner than 9 months :)
[23:19] <j_triple_95> is better to only install LTS releases?
[23:19] <nacc> j_triple_95: IMO, if you're asking, then yes :)
[23:20] <j_triple_95> I have irritating issue with server, upgraded to 13.04 ages ago, now I have to do complete install from usb key
[23:21] <nacc> j_triple_95: 13.04??
[23:21] <j_triple_95> yeah, I know. I only use server for a few basic things and it continues to work.
[23:21] <nacc> j_triple_95: 'upgrading' to 13.04 is ridiculous
[23:22] <nacc> j_triple_95: oh 'ages ago', sorry
[23:23] <j_triple_95> nacc: no worries. have an app I'm working on now that I host on home web server
[23:24] <j_triple_95> when done, will probably upgrade to next 17* LTS release
[23:24] <mwd> yeah you should follow LTS releases for a server like that
[23:24] <mwd> 18.04 you mean? bit of a wait
[23:24] <nacc> j_triple_95: 17.* is not a LTS
[23:25] <nacc> j_triple_95: you are better of reinstalling then truying to upgrade from 13.04 to 18.04
[23:25] <nacc> in my opinion
[23:25] <mwd> you want 16.04 now, and jump to 18.04 in a year or so
[23:25] <cburke> mwd: how come you should follow LTS for a server like that?
[23:25] <j_triple_95> Meant next LTS release, which will be....18.04?
[23:25] <nacc> you have to go 13.04 -> 13.10 -> 14.04 -> 16.04 -> 18.04
[23:25] <j_triple_95> either follow LTS relesae, or remember to upgrade within release life window :)
[23:25] <nacc> cburke: because they aren't maintaining it, so it's better to not have to do anything for 5 years? :)
[23:26] <nacc> maintaining in the sense of security updates, package updates, etc.
[23:26] <Jacksonville> Hey all, I am trying to mount my USB drive on UBUNTU so I can save some pdf's to it. Its running on a VM. I keep getting this message
[23:26] <cburke> nacc: but if he's just using it as a home dev server then does it matter?
[23:26] <mwd> cburke, servers should be stable, LTS ubuntu is the way to go for that. seeing that he's several years out of date, he's clearly not upgrading every 6mo, so going to a 2yr upgrade cycle seems most appropriate
[23:26] <nacc> cburke: a home dev server can still be hacked and turned into, among other things, a bot
[23:27] <cburke> mwd: does "stable" mean the software is not constantly changing?
[23:27] <nacc> cburke: security updates are generally important regardless of the context
[23:27] <j_triple_95> was sloppy of me not to keep track of updates
[23:27] <nacc> cburke: bugfixes only for all releases
[23:27] <mwd> cburke, more or less
[23:27] <nacc> cburke: the software might change, but generally never the major version
[23:27] <j_triple_95> for home server that runs all the time, what is best fsck/reboot policy?
[23:28] <cburke> nacc , mwd : oh so security updates are why you stick to LTS
[23:28] <nacc> cburke: no, security updates are why you stick to actually supported releases
[23:28] <rodrigot23> i need help i followed one tutorial saying i needed to add quiet splash intel_pstate=enable and now i found another solution putting GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi.power_nocheck=1" on the drub fiile can anybody help me?
[23:28] <mwd> cburke, that, plus things working reliably following an update
[23:28] <ericfarmer> I would say a stable version of a software should work for the most people and probably break the least. Not always but usually should be that way.
[23:28] <nacc> cburke: and not having to do upgrades as often seems appropriate in this case
[23:28] <mwd> cburke, eg, apply updates and not have to worry that something needs tweaking now
[23:28] <rodrigot23> grub*
[23:29] <nacc> rodrigot23: what do you need help with? you found two tutorials ... so?
[23:29] <cburke> nacc / mwd OK
[23:29] <rodrigot23> nacc, one is for the cpu cooling the other is not for freezing.
[23:30] <rodrigot23> can i somehow combine those
[23:30] <psychoticwarrior> fdisk -l
[23:30] <psychoticwarrior> find out what partition it is
[23:30] <nacc> rodrigot23: given that they are for different subsystems, sure
[23:30] <psychoticwarrior> grub-install /dev/sda or somethijng like that
[23:30] <nacc> !who | psychoticwarrior
[23:30] <nacc> psychoticwarrior: if you are directing that at rodrigot23, that is not relevant here
[23:30] <psychoticwarrior> ok sounds good
[23:31] <cburke> !tab
[23:31] <psychoticwarrior> are you trying to edit /etc/grub.cfg
[23:31] <nacc> rodrigot23: yes, the easiest way is to put them both in your /etc/default/grub and then run `update-grub`. But note, if yo're testing the result of doing htat, the saner way is to reboote, edit the grub cmdline at the grub menu and see if it helps
[23:32] <nacc> psychoticwarrior: please direct your comments at whomever you are talking to.
[23:32] <psychoticwarrior> cd /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[23:32] <psychoticwarrior> update-grub
[23:32] <psychoticwarrior> update-initramfs -u
[23:32] <nacc> rodrigot23: and then if it does help, edit /etc/default/grub with the right value
[23:32] <nacc> psychoticwarrior: no, that's the incorrect path.
[23:32] <psychoticwarrior> opk
[23:32] <psychoticwarrior> ok
[23:32] <psychoticwarrior> shit im thinking of kali
[23:32] <psychoticwarrior> my baD

[23:39] <klf> I remember ubuntu once shipped with a version of gnome-terminal where the resolution (e.g.  "600x80" ) appears in the middle of the window as you resize it.
[23:44] <nacc> klf: that still happens for me with 17.04
[23:44] <leftyfb> really?
[23:45] <leftyfb> doesn't work for me in 16.04.
[23:47] <klf> leftyfb I too am on 16.04
[23:47] <klf> and I don't have it eitehr
[23:47] <hiru> hello everyone. I installed gnome but when I start the pc I can't autologin anymore and I have to enter my credentials. The GUI is also extremely big for some reason. everything is back to normal when I log in
[23:48] <nacc> leftyfb: yeah
[23:49] <nacc> leftyfb: ubuntu gnome
[23:49] <leftyfb> ah
[23:49] <leftyfb> that's probably it
[23:49] <leftyfb> I'll have to give that a go when I get some time
[23:51] <klf> nacc, so what was problem?
[23:51] <nacc> klf: which problem? i had no problem :)
[23:52] <klf> oh... I think leftyfb meant he's going to give 17.04 a go
[23:52] <leftyfb> no, never
[23:52] <leftyfb> I meant ubuntu gnome
[23:52] <leftyfb> I never bother with the non-LTS releases
