[18:35] <llutz> gjung: doesnt that gtkterm has own setting-dialogs?
[18:35] <rizi> daftykins, humm let me try
[18:38] <rizi> daftykins, plus this problem has occurred before, that time just deleted the partation and reinstalled the OS
[18:38] <omer2> can i make a live usb that keeps settings and files over boots?
[18:38] <omer2> to use on multiple computers?
[18:39] <daftykins> rizi: yeah that's not a solution, run the above commands so we can see if there is an issue with your hard disk.
[18:39] <daftykins> omer2: running an OS on a persistent flash drive isn't very good
[18:39] <gjung> ok it works thanks
[18:39] <omer2> daftykins, thank. so it's just not a good idea?
[18:39] <MonkeyDust> omer2  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent
[18:39] <Capprentice> Anyone tried this - http://limbomedia.net/limbodns.php
[18:39] <daftykins> i personally wouldn't advise it, no

[18:40] <MonkeyDust> HamRadio  ~/.themes
[18:40] <HamRadio> I have installed the Numix theme, but it's not in .themes
[18:41] <HamRadio> MonkeyDust, I know that, but I have the Numix theme installed via their PPA, and it isn't located in ~/.themes
[18:41] <MonkeyDust> HamRadio  /usr/share/themes/

[18:49] <rizi> daftykins, yes should done in few min
[18:49] <melodie> hi
[18:49] <daftykins> ah, you must be on a 14.4Kbps modem :)
[18:49] <melodie> does someone have insights about Intel Skylake cpus? How does it behave under Ubuntu?
[18:50] <melodie> I would appreciate help very much
[18:50] <daftykins> melodie: #linux would be more appropriate for such a question imo
[18:50] <melodie> daftykins I don't think so
[18:50] <melodie> this is purely a matter of insight within the Ubuntu community
[18:50] <daftykins> ok, well you're welcome to disagree... but since the kernel defines the support... i don't think there are any issues.
[18:51] <melodie> here it says otherwise, but it's of last august: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=intel-skl-prelim-support
[18:51] <k1l> skylake cpus have freezing issues and need a fix in the kernel for it.
[18:51] <daftykins> yes that's irrelevant
[18:51] <melodie> k1l ah !
[18:51] <daftykins> k1l: are you referring to the high load prime95 issue discovered?
[18:52] <melodie> k1l for a computer which needs to be built in the next week and will use Ubuntu (Kubuntu) only, which powerful CPU would you suggest?
[18:52] <daftykins> you would need to define the use case for it
[18:53] <k1l> melodie: dont know. not using consumer pcs.
[18:53] <daftykins> 'consumer' ? :)
[18:54] <melodie> daftykins he wants it to be highly snappy for his current needs among which the more greedy is image work with Gimp (I suspect he will also have libreoffice, firefox, and other greedy apps running at same time) all needs to be working well together
[18:55] <daftykins> those are all low end base examples a several year old system could work fine with
[18:55] <OerHeks> really, greedy apps ??
[18:55] <daftykins> greedy browsers om nom nom
[18:56] <OerHeks> 1 speedfix for any pc would be a SSD, or better NVM Express-ssd
[18:56] <a_mouzakitis> a
[18:57] <rice_> Hello!
[18:57] <melodie> daftykins yes sure, just recent ones could probably do less well, but as he wants a new machine without any windows, I have to pick up right for now, and for the new few years
[18:57] <rice_> I could really use some help if someone knows how to modify the ~/.bashrc file well =p
[18:57] <melodie> hi ric
[18:57] <rizi> daftykins, this pastebin is giving problem saying " Bad API request; invalid api_dev_key"
[18:57] <melodie> rice_ what do you want to modify in the .bashrc?
[18:58] <daftykins> melodie: well if you provide systems for a living, then this is your job :)
[18:58] <rice_> I've modified it, - my host name. Nothing seems to change it's color.
[18:58] <rizi> daftykins, should i just pipe it to a file and then past it manually
[18:58] <daftykins> rizi: ok, run "sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda" instead and paste it by hand, please
[18:58] <rice_> Can I pm you?
[18:58] <daftykins> rizi: yep that'd work too
[18:58] <rizi> daftykins, on it
[18:59] <llutz> rice_: http://bashrcgenerator.com/
[19:00] <melodie> daftykins this is a test, if I can do it well, it could become a job :)
[19:00] <rice_> llutz, I'm on about changing colors.
[19:00] <melodie> and providing Linux boxes without any Windows is also tricky
[19:00] <llutz> rice_: or for the few people, prefering reading: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prompt-HOWTO/
[19:00] <rice_> llutz, I know exactly how, but since I'm running i3wm nothing seems to change for me.
[19:01] <daftykins> good ol' i3, the breaker of things
[19:01] <rizi> daftykins, here is the result paste.ubuntu.com/14995548
[19:01] <llutz> rice_: does your wm read ~/.bashrc at all when starting a terminal?
[19:01] <rice_> llutz, how can I see if it does?
[19:02] <daftykins> rizi: yes you're likely encountering issues as that disk has started to fail - it needs to be replaced
[19:02] <llutz> rice_: set a testvar, check it
[19:02] <rice_> daftykins, what would you recommend for rizing?
[19:02] <daftykins> ricing?
[19:02] <rizi> daftykins, humm so what does SMART says
[19:02] <daftykins> making rice? i don't follow - nor why you're asking me
[19:02] <rice_> ricing*
[19:03] <rice_> daftykins, I was just asking randomly since you knew i3 xD
[19:03] <daftykins> i know everyone has issues with it.
[19:03] <rice_> yeah
[19:03] <daftykins> rizi: line 73, Current_Pending_Sector is at 45, so that disk has issues
[19:03] <rypervenche> I have had no issues with i3. :/
[19:03] <rice_> daftykins, was thinking about 2bwm but it seems to be complicated
[19:03] <daftykins> rizi: you need to backup your data to another drive and replace it ASAP
[19:04] <Anthonux> Hi!
[19:04] <rice_> Anthonux, hi =)
[19:04] <omer2> i am running ubunu gnome on an old thinkpad R500. so far it has been ok, but it froze before when using FF. I canceled now the animations, anything else I could do?
[19:04] <Anthonux> How are u ?
[19:04] <supersmilers> I could not empty trash. is there a way to do that to force empty it?
[19:04] <daftykins> Anthonux: support only in here, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic :)
[19:04] <rizi> daftykins, what i actually want to know is looking at this output how to find if the disk i am working with is having problem. what to look for,
[19:05] <belrick> Hi am the guest who had the problem with the network manager Eric helped me amoungst many others. I ran the scrpt and it was successfull.
[19:05] <Anthonux> Galommia Can you help me again ?
[19:05] <daftykins> rizi: this is something which comes with experience.
[19:05] <rizi> daftykins, humm
[19:06] <belrick> I may have been using the wrong terminal or slightly mistyped the script i ran it in termx is that only one that will alter the packages?
[19:06] <daftykins> rizi: seeing anything other than 0 for Reallocated sectors, current pending sectors, or reallocated sectors tends to be good evidence of an issue - then errors can be written beneath the table of data, too
[19:06] <belrick> Anyway thanks for everyones input running Ubuntu again and not Mint
[19:06] <belrick> DVD
[19:07] <rizi> daftykins, okay i have an another old HD which i can test this way.
[19:07] <daftykins> belrick: when you keep saying that it sounds like a lie :P
[19:07] <supersmilers> Anyone help me with trash not being able to empty under normal user?
[19:07] <belrick> ok well its not it fixed my net manager
[19:07] <k1l> supersmilers: that sounds like you ran nautilus with sudo :/
[19:07] <belrick>  bye
[19:08] <rice_> llutz, seems like ~ isn't on that site for some reason
[19:08] <rizi> daftykins, thank you very much  is there anything I can do for you
[19:09] <augusto> Buenas tardes, hay alguna manera de utiliza la tarjeta de red de un portatil en VMWare?
[19:09] <supersmilers> k1l: I tried running nautilus without sudo and it doesn't empty a folder in there.
[19:09] <daftykins> no thanks :) all good here - it's what this volunteering is all about!
[19:09] <daftykins> augusto: english only, or #ubuntu-es #ubuntu-pt
[19:10] <k1l> supersmilers: because you did mess with your system running as sudo.
[19:10] <augusto> Ok, thanks
[19:10] <LaPingvino> hello
[19:10] <darrens> would a kind fellow generously dump a cat of their /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-greeter-wrapper.conf?
[19:10] <LaPingvino> I want a livecd to test if an old touchscreen would work on linux
[19:10] <LaPingvino> but I don't have a dvd handy
[19:10] <MonkeyDust> LaPingvino  usb
[19:11] <LaPingvino> which derivative would you recommend that still fits on a cd?
[19:11] <k1l> supersmilers: "cd .local/share/Trash" in terminal and delete the files
[19:11] <daftykins> only lubuntu does i think
[19:11] <LaPingvino> tnx :)
[19:11] <daftykins> and even then probably only an overburnt one
[19:11] <LaPingvino> I did download that one though
[19:11] <LaPingvino> yes exactly
[19:11] <darrens> would a kind fellow generously dump a cat of their /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-greeter-wrapper.conf?
[19:11] <LaPingvino> from my crouton install it refuses to burn
[19:11] <daftykins> you need the largest capacity CD-Rs capable of overburning too, yeah - so flash drive would be best.
[19:12] <squinty> darrens,  [SeatDefaults]
[19:12] <squinty> greeter-wrapper=/usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm-greeter-session
[19:12] <squinty> f
[19:12] <LaPingvino> I saw xbmcbuntu being in the right size though
[19:12] <squinty> without that last "f"
[19:12] <darrens> squinty: thank you man. much appreciated.
[19:12] <MonkeyDust> squinty  http://paste.ubuntu.com/14995702/
[19:12] <rice_> Anyone that knows how to set so I can use CTRL + ALT instead of ALT GR for ~, ][, }{, etc.
[19:12] <LaPingvino> for testing touchscreen capability that should work right?
[19:12] <MonkeyDust> darrens  http://paste.ubuntu.com/14995702/
[19:13] <LaPingvino> ah kodibuntu now :)
[19:13] <MonkeyDust> LaPingvino  mind: kodibuntu is not supported here
[19:14] <LaPingvino> no problem
[19:14] <supersmilers> I fixed it by deleting the file under ".local/share/Trash" via "sudo" nautilus
[19:14] <rice_> Anyone that knows how to set so I can use CTRL + ALT instead of ALT GR for ~, ][, }{, etc.
[19:14] <LaPingvino> I find my way out anyway, I am capable of supporting my own stuff
[19:14] <LaPingvino> it's just for testing
[19:14] <k1l> supersmilers: stop running sudo with gui programs from now on
[19:15] <daftykins> LaPingvino: kodi won't do anything touch
[19:16] <rice_> daftykins, Anyone that knows how to set so I can use CTRL + ALT instead of ALT GR for ~, ][, }{, etc.?
[19:16] <LaPingvino> daftykins: it's just about kernel support for me
[19:16] <supersmilers> k4l, I only use Sudo for synaptic via terminal for now on
[19:16] <LaPingvino> so just seeing if the default drivers recognize the screen
[19:16] <LaPingvino> as windows 10 doesn't
[19:17] <daftykins> rice_: stop using my nickname in messages please
[19:17] <LaPingvino> but that one seems to big too
[19:17] <rice_> oh soz
[19:17] <rice_> Anyone that knows how to set so I can use CTRL + ALT instead of ALT GR for ~, ][, }{, etc.?
[19:18] <daftykins> LaPingvino: just get a flash drive and join the 21st century :)
[19:18] <LaPingvino> I know, I have a flash drive but not the best experience with them
[19:18] <melodie> rice_ have you considered giving a try to bepo?
[19:18] <LaPingvino> ISO on disk has been more reliable on me
[19:18] <rice_> melodie, i have no clue what bepo is
[19:18] <rice_> lol
[19:18] <daftykins> LaPingvino: well it's quite easy to throw on an ISO and make it bootable.
[19:19] <aethersis> hello, I have the following issue: I run VNC server on kubuntu on arm linux and it works fine, however when I try to run some applications (especially qt-based), the keyboard input doesn't work. There seem to be two problems: The first is that qt seems to render directly to framebuffer on ARM so that VNC can't capture screen properly from X and the other problem is that the main display is set as :0, however I'm running VNC on display
[19:19] <daftykins> LaPingvino: you're definitely doing something wrong there then :)
[19:19] <aethersis> :1 because :0 is locked. Is there some workaround?
[19:19] <hanmac1> hey i got some problems with gdk  =>  undefined reference to `gdk_mir_display_get_type()' there is my code: https://gist.github.com/Hanmac/fe2c937405ee7217d53f ... its only a conftest for my extconf
[19:19] <LaPingvino> daftykins: unetbootin doing crazy things ;)
[19:19] <daftykins> don't use unetbootin
[19:19] <LaPingvino> daftykins: I know the ubuntu builtin stuff doesn't do that crap, you're right...
[19:20] <MonkeyDust> who's using unetbootin?
[19:20] <daftykins> "dd" and "cp" are just dandy
[19:20] <LaPingvino> but I was working from a non-ubuntu-system before
[19:20] <LaPingvino> ah yes, dd of course :)
[19:20] <LaPingvino> stupid me :P
[19:20] <daftykins> as long as it's run correctly
[19:20] <LaPingvino> true
[19:20] <LaPingvino> I do kinda like unetbootin though... as long as it works correctly :P
[19:21] <LaPingvino> which it doesn't always :P
[19:21] <omer2> i have experienced a little lag when watching video/multi tasking on ubuntu-gnome. Is there anything I can try to do to make it better?
[19:21] <omer2> i turned off the animations
[19:22] <daftykins> any of those GUI helper apps are a mistake imo
[19:22] <omer2> GUI helper?
[19:22] <omer2> what are those?
[19:23] <agopo> Are window managers like screen, tmus and the like only available for X11 or are there also options for tty?
[19:23] <agopo> *tmux
[19:23] <EriC^^> agopo: they're for tty
[19:23] <llutz> agopo: screen doesn't need X
[19:24] <EriC^^> they're not window managers, they're multiplexers
[19:24] <agopo> okay, then I misinterpreted a video I saw. There, someone used it within X
[19:24] <agopo> Or so it seemed to me
[19:24] <agopo> Either way, it's awesome they exist in tty. Any suggestions which one I should try?
[19:24] <k1l> you can run screen in a terminal on X. but that got nothing to do with windowmanagers
[19:25] <EriC^^> yeah, it basically splits a terminal into several virtual ones agopo
[19:25] <MonkeyDust> screen <3
[19:25] <EriC^^> agopo: i like screen, tmux is fine i guess
[19:25] <supersmilers> sorry. Firefox crashed. I have to disable multi-process
[19:25] <agopo> Okay, screen it is. Thanks guys, that was quick
[19:26] <agopo> *thumbs up*
[19:26] <EriC^^> agopo: tmux can split windows, not sure screen can do that too
[19:26] <llutz> EriC^^: it can
[19:26] <EriC^^> llutz: really?
[19:26] <EriC^^> what key combo?
[19:26] <supersmilers> today I learned that Grub can be customized with different themes
[19:26] <llutz> EriC^^: ctrl-a-|
[19:27] <EriC^^> cool thanks
[19:27] <llutz> EriC^^: horizontal C-a S
[19:27] <EriC^^> thank you :)
[19:27] <supersmilers> I thought plymouth can only be customized
[19:28] <MonkeyDust> 1;3C
[19:32] <Eightynine> http://imgur.com/oZRl9H4 how can I fix that that Software Updater issue?
[19:36] <azure32> what happens when you run sudo apt-get update in a terminal?
[19:37] <EriC^^> azure32: the available packages for upgrading/installing gets updated
[19:37] <azure32> EriC^^: no errors at all?
[19:38] <EriC^^> there's not supposed to be any
[19:38] <EriC^^> you mean if it'll try to update something?
[19:38] <Daimyo> Quick question, how do I make a "system generated change log" for openssh.... Pci scanner changing shit info and not providing the instructions for the request.
[19:38] <TTTA> has anyone seen an error before where it just keeps asking you to log in over and over again?
[19:38] <yyyy> Ubuntu.
[19:38] <TTTA> with a weird gaphical glitch every time you try?
[19:39] <EriC^^> TTTA: yeah
[19:39] <azure32> EriC^^: woops sorry I was asking Eightynine
[19:39] <yyyy> Why not just use Debian?
[19:39] <yyyy> What's so good about Ubuntu?
[19:39] <EriC^^> azure32: oh, :D
[19:39] <azure32> lol
[19:39] <TTTA> EriC^^ do you know the fix?
[19:39] <EriC^^> TTTA: it might be a graphics driver issue
[19:39] <azure32> Eightynine: what happens when you run sudo apt-get update in a terminal?
[19:39] <EriC^^> if you're lucky it's just a wrong permissions issue
[19:40] <EriC^^> TTTA: did you try the guest account?
[19:40] <Eightynine> It's caching packages.
[19:40] <TTTA> no, I'll try that first though
[19:40] <Eightynine> Sorry, I was in Ubuntu MATE chat room
[19:40] <TTTA> any other suggestions?
[19:41] <EriC^^> TTTA: try that first, if it doesn't work then see which driver is installed
[19:46] <TTTA> Ok, I get the same error when I try guest session
[19:46] <TTTA> Any other suggestions?
[19:46] <EriC^^> TTTA: ok, type lspci | grep VGA
[19:47] <EriC^^> from a tty ( ctrl+alt+f1 )
[19:49] <TTTA> Now I'm being told my login is incorrect
[19:50] <Guest57898> Could anybody please guide me through a root partition increase? I have a /boot an / partion on an SD card. I tried to increase the root size partition.
[19:51] <Guest57898> But I can not get it to work. I tried a few tutorials yesterday and after that no luck with gparted.
[19:51] <daftykins> you shouldn't have made a separate /boot really
[19:51] <Guest57898> daftykins, anyway. Would you know how to increase sbd2 ?
[19:51] <daftykins> is this LVM?
[19:52] <Guest57898> No. Partition.
[19:52] <daftykins> pastebin a "sudo parted -l"
[19:52] <Guest57898> It is 4GB now and I want ti to use all of the SD disk .
[19:52] <daftykins> so there's unallocated space?
[19:53] <Guest57898> yes
[19:53] <Guest57898> 32GB card
[19:53] <Guest57898> root is 4GB
[19:53] <Guest57898> boot 200MB
[19:53] <daftykins> share the requested output
[19:53] <Guest57898> mom
[19:53] <daftykins> dad
[19:54] <Guest57898> daftykins, https://paste.ubuntu.com/14996248/
[19:54] <EriC^^> :D
[19:54] <TTTA> Eric^^: I tried lspci | grep VGA, it asks for my password, I give it, it tells me my login is incorrect
[19:54] <EriC^^> TTTA: login first with your username, then run lspci
[19:55] <daftykins> Guest57898: so you're doing this from outside of the OS that's on it, correct?
[19:55] <Guest57898> Yes
[19:55] <daftykins> i don't see the challenge then
[19:55] <Guest57898> The SD card is in my netbook right now. Lubuntu on SD card Xubuntu on netbook
[19:56] <EriC^^> gparted is your friend
[19:56] <TTTA> Ah, ok
[19:56] <EriC^^> Guest57898: ^
[19:56] <Guest57898> daftykins, then please tell me the steps. I tried 10 times all day yesterday and after the root partition was 50MB
[19:56] <Guest57898> gparted gives me a error when resizing
[19:57] <daftykins> you applied that? you must've bricked it if so
[19:57] <Guest57898> saying the kernel is using something. cannot recall right now
[19:57] <EriC^^> Guest57898: how large was it initially?
[19:57] <Guest57898> no, re-copied the image
[19:57] <daftykins> you need to have unmounted them before you start playing with gparted.
[19:57] <Guest57898> as big as you see in the paste
[19:58] <Guest57898> it is a dd copy from an image from bananapi
[19:58] <daftykins> irrelevant
[19:58] <Guest57898> I don´t know what I am doing wrong
[19:58] <EriC^^> Guest57898: ok, you could delete the partition, recreate it at the same starting sector using the full space, then resize the filesystem
[19:58] <rrn> To install Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS onto a flash drive, can its image be simply dd'ed onto a flash drive?
[19:58] <Guest57898> fdisk also did not do it for me
[19:58] <llutz> Guest57898: sudo umount /dev/sdb? ;sudo resize2fs -p /dev/sdb2   && sudo e2fsck /dev/sdb2
[19:58] <bekks> rrn: yes.
[19:58] <TTTA> Ok EriC^^, got through that part, lspci | grep VGA detects my video card. Now what?
[19:59] <EriC^^> llutz: doesn't he have to resize the partition before the fs?
[19:59] <TTTA> And thanks for all your help
[19:59] <Guest57898> llutz, that is the only line I need?  But where can I tell it how much it should allocate for / ?
[19:59] <llutz> EriC^^: oops, i thought he already did
[20:00] <Guest57898> llutz, no I did not do anyting yet. Original setup on SD card
[20:00] <EriC^^> TTTA: which name is it?
[20:01] <EriC^^> Guest57898: try sudo cfdisk /dev/sdb , delete sdb2 , then recreate it at the same sector using all of the space left
[20:02] <Guest57898> EriC^^, that is the point. How?
[20:02] <TTTA> VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK104 [GeForce GTX 770] (rev a1)
[20:02] <llutz> fdisk -lu, write down the start sector

[20:02] <EriC^^> Guest57898: i just said, try sudo cfdisk /dev/sdb
[20:02] <Guest57898> EriC^^, what does that do?
[20:02] <EriC^^> fdisk + ncurses, it's nice
[20:03] <straniero> infobot
[20:03] <hillbillie> quit
[20:03] <Guest57898> EriC^^, sdb2 deleted, do I have to write the change to disk before re-creating it?
[20:04] <EriC^^> TTTA: ok, try sudo ubuntu-drivers devices
[20:04] <EriC^^> Guest57898: no
[20:04] <EriC^^> TTTA: do you have an internet connection on the pc?
[20:05] <Guest57898> EriC^^,  last sector of sdb1 is 65536
[20:05] <TTTA> Yeah, wireless card
[20:05] <Guest57898> And I make it primary, right?
[20:05] <TTTA> I input the command, got a list of drivers
[20:05] <EriC^^> TTTA: ok, type sudo ubuntu-drivers devices | nc termbin.com 9999
[20:05] <EriC^^> Guest57898: yeah
[20:06] <Guest57898> damn, can i exit the program without writing?
[20:06] <Guest57898> wanna retry
[20:06] <EriC^^> Guest57898: yeah
[20:07] <Guest57898> don´t see an option?
[20:07] <TTTA> Ok, it responded with http://termbin.com/0miy
[20:07] <Guest57898> control Q ?
[20:07] <Guest57898> never mind
[20:07] <EriC^^> Guest57898: try q
[20:07] <Guest57898> there is quit
[20:07] <Guest57898> my bad
[20:08] <EriC^^> TTTA: ok, try dpkg -l | grep nvidia | nc termbin.com 9999
[20:08] <Guest57898> EriC^^, done. sdb2 is now the rest of the SD card
[20:08] <TTTA> No such file or directory
[20:09] <Guest57898> EriC^^, do I have to do any other step?
[20:09] <Guest57898> EriC^^, wrote the changes to disk and exited
[20:09] <EriC^^> Guest57898: you have to resize the fs now
[20:09] <Dr-007> how do i remove a service from upstart?
[20:10] <Dr-007> via command line
[20:10] <Guest57898> EriC^^, so all of this? sudo umount /dev/sdb? ;sudo resize2fs -p /dev/sdb2   && sudo e2fsck /dev/sdb2
[20:10] <TTTA> Grep: nc: no such file or directory
[20:10] <TTTA> Grep: termbin.com: no such file or directory

[20:11] <sruli> i need help with libvirt snapshots, i recently came over from vbox, where the concept is of snapshots is the complete opposite and trying to achieve the same is proving difficult, i have a VM which i use for testing, on many boots i just revert, when i make an update i want to keep, i delete old snapshot and create new, this worked well in vbox, in libvirt its the opposite, changes are made to the snapshot not the backing image so if i delete the snapshot i loo
[20:11] <TTTA> Same response
[20:12] <EriC^^> Guest57898: just sudo resize2fs -p /dev/sdb2  && sudo e2fsck /dev/sdb2
[20:12] <Guest57898> EriC^^, thank you
[20:12] <MonkeyDust> TTTA  what's the output of   cat /etc/issue
[20:12] <EriC^^> TTTA: i think you missed the | after the grep command
[20:13] <Guest57898> resize2fs 1.42.12 (29-Aug-2014)
[20:13] <Guest57898> Please run 'e2fsck -f /dev/sdb2' first.
[20:13] <TTTA> Oh wow, I totally did
[20:13] <TTTA> I'm doing this on my cell phone, the way the text was displayed made it really hard to see
[20:13] <EriC^^> Guest57898: i guess run it first
[20:14] <Guest57898> sudo e2fsck -f /dev/sdb2
[20:14] <Guest57898> e2fsck 1.42.12 (29-Aug-2014)
[20:14] <Guest57898> Superblock has an invalid journal (inode 8).
[20:14] <Guest57898> :(
[20:14] <TTTA> MonkeyDust, the output is: UBUNTU 14.04.3 LTS \n \l
[20:14] <EriC^^> Guest57898: when you recreated the partition, did you type anything at starting sector or just went enter?
[20:14] <Guest57898> only enter
[20:15] <Guest57898> it was the same start sector
[20:15] <EriC^^> ok, that's good
[20:15] <EriC^^> Guest57898: maybe it was damaged before?
[20:15] <Guest57898> I will try your command now
[20:15] <ioria> TTTA, try this    dpkg -l nvidia*  | nc termbin.com 9999
[20:15] <Guest57898> now
[20:15] <TTTA> Ok EriC^^, the response to the fixed command was http://termbin.com/3apm
[20:16] <Guest57898> sudo resize2fs -p /dev/sdb2
[20:16] <Guest57898> resize2fs 1.42.12 (29-Aug-2014)
[20:16] <Guest57898> Please run 'e2fsck -f /dev/sdb2' first.
[20:17] <TTTA> Ioria, the response to that input was http://termbin.com/ro6f

[20:17] <Guest57898> Damn
[20:17] <ioria> TTTA, sorry , i haven't followed ... what's your issue ?
[20:17] <mgolisch> sruli: look at virsh blockcommit
[20:18] <karstensrage> what do you call trusty vs ubuntu
[20:18] <EriC^^> TTTA: ok, try dpkg -l linux-headers-$(uname -r) | nc termbin.com 9999
[20:18] <karstensrage> like what is the nomenclature for trusty and ubuntu
[20:18] <TTTA> Can't log in, it keeps asking for my password over and over, weird graphical issue every time I give password
[20:18] <EriC^^> ioria: login loop, guest account is no joy
[20:18] <ioria> EriC^^, i see
[20:19] <ioria> TTTA, graphic drivers, or did you do some with .profile or with unsupported packages ?
[20:19] <EriC^^> Guest57898: try to dd the image again, and fsck it first thing
[20:20] <TTTA> I really don't know, I screwed around in the command line a lot yesterday trying to install BOINC
[20:20] <k1l> karstensrage: can you rephrase that question?
[20:20] <ioria> TTTA, i see 3 version of nvidia drivers installed !!!
[20:20] <ioria> *s
[20:21] <ioria> TTTA, sorry, 2
[20:21] <ioria> TTTA, it's a desktop or laptop ?
[20:21] <TTTA> Desktop
[20:22] <ioria> TTTA, ok,   sudo apt-get purge nvidia*    and start over  i'd say
[20:22] <EriC^^> 1 sec
[20:22] <EriC^^> TTTA: can you run uname -r ?
[20:22] <EriC^^> then dpkg -l | grep linux-headers | nc termbin.com 9999
[20:22] <squinty> karstensrage,  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
[20:22] <Guest57898> EriC^^, doing dd right now
[20:22] <EriC^^> ioria: the packages are actually 1 package, the 331 thing is like a transitional package and it depends on 340 etc
[20:23] <anerion> is there any way for an unprivileged process to setns() into a user namespace created by the same user? the user_namespaces man page says it'd need CAP_SYS_ADMIN in that namespace first, and a normal non-root process shouldn't have any capabilities at all. i want to lock out non root but same user processes from a private mount namespace and am worried i might be missing a way around.
[20:23] <Guest57898> EriC^^, after that sudo fsck /dev/sdb2 ?
[20:23] <ioria> EriC^^,  yeah... but i'd purge it anyway .... :(
[20:23] <EriC^^> Guest57898: yeah
[20:23] <Guest57898> EriC^^, thx
[20:24] <TTTA> EriC^^ I ran that, got another termbin.com response
[20:24] <karstensrage> squinty, ok so distribution (ubuntu) and release (trusty)?
[20:24] <ioria> TTTA,  how did you install  nvidia drivers  ....  command line ?
[20:24] <EriC^^> TTTA: please paste the link, also what did uname -r return?
[20:24] <squinty> karstensrage,  yes
[20:24] <karstensrage> k thanks squinty
[20:24] <TTTA> Uname -r responded 3.13.0-77-generic
[20:25] <squinty> karstensrage, yw
[20:25] <TTTA> http://termbin.com/mlia
[20:25] <EriC^^> is that all?
[20:25] <TTTA> Iiria: I don't think so?
[20:25] <ioria> TTTA,    well,  we are at .77
[20:26] <TTTA> Automatic updater
[20:26] <Exagone313> Hi, how can I find the graphical (windowed) programs installed such as shown in desktop program menus but via SSH (maybe the .desktop file locations)? Thanks for your help.
[20:26] <EriC^^> TTTA: try dpkg -l linux-headers-3.13.0-77-generic | nc termbin.com 9999
[20:27] <EriC^^> TTTA: nevermind, you're missing the headers
[20:27] <sruli> mgolisch: how will that help my scenario? if i delete the snap i will loose all, if i blockcomit i will add all changes since start of snapshot to base image
[20:27] <EriC^^> TTTA: try sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-headers-generic
[20:27] <TTTA> So don't send that last line?
[20:27] <Exagone313> I want to use them with X forwarded through SSH but without knowing the list of available programs it's a bit useless
[20:28] <EriC^^> TTTA: no, run the above command, then when it's done type sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-340-updates , then try to restart the pc and let us know how it goes
[20:28] <ioria> TTTA, uname -r ?
[20:28] <mgolisch> sruli: isnt that what you wanted?
[20:29] <Ben64> Exagone313: find /usr/share/applications
[20:29] <gp5st> I guess I’m hitting the bounds of my DNS knowlege: can a hostfile change how an NS server is used? (I don’t have my testing env at home at the moment and can’t check) so if I have an NS record for a.example.com pointing to ns.example.com and a hostfile entry for ns.example.com sending it to localhost, will the ns query for a.example.com work?
[20:29] <rice> Anyone here that has used 2bwm on Ubuntu?
[20:29] <squinty> Exagone313,  dpkg --help (ex  dpkg -l)   use the locate and/or find command too
[20:29] <mgolisch> sruli: it would be equiavlaent to deleting a snapshot in vb
[20:29] <Exagone313> squinty: I want _graphical_ apps
[20:29] <Ben64> gp5st: you're in the wrong channel
[20:30] <gp5st> Ben64: what would be a better channel?
[20:30] <Exagone313> Ben64: thanks that was my question
[20:30] <rice> I would need help installing b2wm on Ubuntu, I get weird errors.
[20:30] <Ben64> gp5st: something related to dns or networking, this is ubuntu
[20:30] <ekselans6767> türk var mı ?
[20:30] <k1l> !tr | ekselans6767
[20:31] <Guest57898> EriC^^, https://paste.ubuntu.com/14996568/
[20:31] <Exagone313> gp5st: #dns
[20:31] <Exagone313> or ##networking
[20:31] <gp5st> Exagone313: I found ##networking. Didn’t think #dns would work, but you’re right
[20:31] <sruli> mgolisch: not really, i make many changes on VM which i want to loose on reboots, for that i revert snapshot, however when i do want to save the changes what i used to do in Vbox is delete existing snapshot and create new, the difference between vbox and libvirt snapshot is in vbox the changes happen to base image and snap keeps track of what changed, so if u delete snapshot you havnt lost anything
[20:32] <squinty> Exagone313,  ok not really sure what you are asking then.  if you want to search your ssh connection with gui, then start nautilus after you have ssh logged in and then use nautilus's search function
[20:32] <mgolisch> sruli: just blockcommit, then delete the snapthot, then create a new one?
[20:33] <mgolisch> or do you have multiple snapshots?
[20:33] <mgolisch> maybe iam still not understanding your goal
[20:33] <EriC^^> Guest57898: ok, give it another shot i guess
[20:33] <sruli> mgolisch: unless i did not use the blockcommit correctly, i used instructions from this page http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Live-disk-backup-with-active-blockcommit ( iactyually make the snaps while VM off
[20:33] <TTTA> Ok, installed all that stuff, still can't get in
[20:33] <Guest57898> EriC^^, I resized it again. root now 30GB
[20:33] <sstory> I have placed a bash script in /etc/profile.d  It is setting JAVA_HOME.  Upon reboot, from a bash prompt JAVA_HOME is set as expected.However using $JAVA_HOME/bin/javaws somejava.jnlp file doesn't run as if it can't see $JAVA_HOME.  Any ideas?
[20:34] <Guest57898> EriC^^, now what?
[20:34] <sruli> mgolisch: i have 2 snapshots, in case something goes wrong after update, i like keeping 1 previous version
[20:34] <TTTA> Uname -r is responding 3.13.0-77-generic
[20:34] <EriC^^> Guest57898: i think that's that
[20:34] <EriC^^> Guest57898: is /etc/fstab all right?
[20:34] <ioria> TTTA,    and you don't have the headers ?
[20:34] <Guest57898> EriC^^,  sudo e2fsck /dev/sdb2 or sudo e2fsck -f /dev/sdb2
[20:34] <EriC^^> either one will do
[20:34] <sruli> mgolisch: but even if i am prepared to give up the 2 snapshots (dont really want to) how would blockcommit help me, i dont understand
[20:35] <ikonia> sstory: what do you mean it's not set - you've ust said "it's set"
[20:35] <ioria> TTTA,    dpkg -l | grep linux-headers*
[20:35] <Guest57898> EriC^^, in xubuntu I am running LVM
[20:36] <TTTA> Ioria, that gave me a list
[20:37] <ioria> TTTA,    dpkg -l  grep linux-headers*  | nc termbin.com 9999
[20:37] <ubuntuuser> hello, i am using https://github.com/denilsonsa/udev-joystick-blacklist which is a set of udev rules to fix certain devices from being detected as joysticks wrongfully, but it isn't working.
[20:37] <Guest57898> EriC^^, https://paste.ubuntu.com/14996610/
[20:37] <mgolisch> sruli: also i think in vb snapshots work the same way, the snapshot file contains all the changes, otherwise online backups would not be possible
[20:37] <EriC^^> TTTA: you could try another nvidia driver if you want, or try an older kernel
[20:37] <ikonia> ubuntuuser: so wouldn't you feed that back to the person who told you it works ?
[20:37] <EriC^^> ioria: he just installed the headers and nvidia and it didnt work
[20:37] <Guest57898> EriC^^, I think that looks, OK. Right?
[20:38] <ioria> EriC^^,  yeah, i'd like to see the headers installed
[20:38] <sstory> ikonia:, Well I'm saying it is set when I rebooted and went into a bash shell. However when used from a desktop launcher (icon), it I get an error launching the application so I assumed maybe it wasn't set for the GUI somehow.
[20:38] <Exagone313> squinty: on a desktop, you may probably have a menu where you can see the apps sorted by themes (dev, system...) but I'd like to see that list through ssh
[20:38] <ubuntuuser> ikonia: maybe somebody here uses those rules and knows how to fix it. Maybe udev isn't loading the rules
[20:38] <Guest57898> EriC^^, now sudo resize2fs -p /dev/sdb2 ?
[20:38] <Ben64> Exagone313: didn't i already tell you how
[20:38] <Exagone313> but the question was the .desktop location that was replied
[20:38] <TTTA> Now I'm getting nc: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known
[20:38] <ikonia> sstory: it's a shell setting, why would a desktop launcher work ?
[20:38] <EriC^^> Guest57898: yeah
[20:39] <Exagone313> he needed clarity
[20:39] <ikonia> ubuntuuser: maybe it just doesn't work - ask the guy who wrote it
[20:39] <ioria> TTTA,   again, sometimes it fails
[20:39] <Guest57898> EriC^^, https://paste.ubuntu.com/14996624/
[20:39] <mcphail> ubuntuuser: what device do you have?
[20:39] <sstory> ikonia: OK. I need an environment variable that is system wide so that a simple desktop icon can be click and launch a software that is run by called javaws and then the .jnlp file.  I do not know how to set this variable. If you can give me a better way I would appreciate it.
[20:40] <Bassem> how to adjust the scrolling time for playing movie when i scroll the mouse middle button
[20:40] <Guest57898> EriC^^, OMG, I think this is looking good this time. You rock
[20:40] <ikonia> sstory: what is the command the desktop launcher is running
[20:40] <Guest57898> EriC^^, thx
[20:40] <ubuntuuser> mcphail: i have the microsoft wired keyboard 600.
[20:40] <sruli> mgolisch: so what would be a solution for my scenario? on each boot i revert snapshot, what i make an update i create new snapshot, how do i stop myself getting 100's of snaps?
[20:40] <EriC^^> Guest57898: cool, no problem
[20:41] <sstory> ikonia: basically like this: $JAVA_HOME/bin/javaws http://servername/apps/xyz.jnlp
[20:41] <ikonia> sstory: so don't do that
[20:41] <ikonia> sstory: just use the path to java, eg: /usr/bin/javaws
[20:41] <ikonia> (or whatever it is)
[20:41] <sstory> ikonia: pasting that to a bash prompt works
[20:41] <EriC^^> TTTA: try dpkg -l | grep linux-headers | nc termbin.com 9999
[20:41] <ikonia> sstory: of course it will
[20:41] <mcphail> ubuntuuser: seems to be on the list. Have you added the file correctly and rebooted?
[20:42] <sstory> ikonia: I'm a net admin and need to be able to upgrade Java and have this location global to all users and their desktop icon to just work with the new path.
[20:42] <ikonia> sstory: right, so the location won't change
[20:42] <ikonia> sstory: you use the alternatives to set the path, and you use the alternatives path which is something like /usr/bin/java
[20:42] <TTTA> Same error, EriC^^
[20:42] <ikonia> I can't remember the real path without checking
[20:42] <ubuntuuser> mcphail: yes. i ran sudo curl -o /etc/udev/rules.d/51-these-are-not-joysticks.rules \ url to the rules and i checked if the file got saved and it did
[20:43] <EriC^^> TTTA: try dpkg -l | grep linux-headers*77
[20:43] <EriC^^> do you see something?
[20:43] <Guest57898> Is there a way to find out on Ubuntu what IP addresses are leased in my LAN without logging in to the router admin interface?
[20:43] <TTTA> I did notice that it seems to have knocked me off the WiFi
[20:43] <ikonia> Guest57898: no, ubuntu is not the dhcp server
[20:43] <Guest57898> ikonia,
[20:43] <Guest57898> ok
[20:43] <sruli> mgolisch: any ideas for me?
[20:43] <sstory> ikonia: OK I had used alternatives to set java and javac.  Doing this it didnt' find javaws. It wanted to installed Iced Tea. Unfortunately that won't work with the vendor's software and I had to install Oracle's.  Is there a way to set alternative for javaws?
[20:44] <ikonia> sstory: you should be able to create an alternative for anything you want
[20:44] <EriC^^> TTTA: sorry i meant, dpkg -l | grep linux-headers.*77
[20:44] <Bassem> is there away to record from stereo mix like windows
[20:44] <mcphail> ubuntuuser: and your keyboard has vendorId 045e and productId 0750?
[20:44] <TTTA> EriC^^, that produced no visible response
[20:44] <TTTA> Ah, hold on
[20:45] <EriC^^> Bassem: yeah, audacity
[20:45] <EriC^^> and pavucontrol is helpful too
[20:45] <Bassem> EriC^^, what is audacity?
[20:45] <EriC^^> Bassem: it's a program
[20:46] <ubuntuuser> mcphail: yes
[20:46] <EriC^^> and pavucontrol is like a mixer type thing for pulse audio
[20:46] <TTTA> Ok, I got Linux-headers-3.13.0-77, *-77-generic
[20:46] <TTTA> And Linux-headers-generic
[20:46] <Bassem> EriC^^, will it activate stereo mix so other application can record from my playing media
[20:46] <EriC^^> TTTA: ioria ok it's installed
[20:47] <ioria> EriC^^,  oh, joy
[20:47] <EriC^^> :D
[20:47] <TTTA> 3.13.0-77.121, *.83
[20:47] <EriC^^> Bassem: you can use pavucontrol to switch what to record from and stuff
[20:47] <mcphail> ubuntuuser: I would ping the author on github. It works perfectly for my device. Perhaps yur keyboard does something odd, like some kind of modesetting?
[20:47] <EriC^^> and record in audacity if you want and edit and stuff
[20:48] <Bassem> EriC^^, how to get pavucontrol
[20:48] <ioria> !info linux-headers-generic trust
[20:48] <ioria> !info linux-headers-generic trusty
[20:48] <EriC^^> TTTA: try cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | nc termbin.com 9999
[20:48] <EriC^^> Bassem: sudo apt-get install pavucontrol
[20:48] <ubuntuuser> mcphail: yeah, i'll send him a message. thanks
[20:49] <Guest57898> What is the command again to extract a .tar.bz2 file?
[20:49] <Guest57898> tar -xvf filename.tar.bz2 ?
[20:49] <EriC^^> Guest57898: tar xjvf or just tar xvf just figures stuff out for you
[20:49] <mcphail> ubuntuuser: are you sure it isn't working, though? Is it still showing as a controller in steam, for example?
[20:49] <Exagone313> Ben64: I noticed that pcmanfm can open the desktop files, so I found a good alternative to VNC I think
[20:50] <TTTA> The termbin.com output has stopped working, the last time I restarted my computer it knocked my computer off WiFi and my mouse stopped working
[20:50] <Guest57898> EriC^^, then I was close thx
[20:50] <squinty> Exagone313,  on unity here, but if you are using xubuntu, I thinks what you are possibly refering to is the "whisker" menu.  do a locate for whisker and see what pops up
[20:50] <ioria> TTTA, sorry, i don't get .121
[20:50] <Exagone313> squinty: I use ubuntu server
[20:50] <Exagone313> lel
[20:50] <TTTA> I'm gonna go dig around for an Ethernet cable
[20:51] <ioria> TTTA, i think we need the complete output of the command
[20:51] <squinty> Exagone313, ok then I have no idea (typically servers don't have gui)  maybe someone else could kick in or try asking in #ubuntu-server
[20:52] <Exagone313> it's ok it was replied
[20:52] <Bassem> EriC^^, i install it how can i run it now i cant find it in dash
[20:52] <Exagone313> you just not noticed
[20:52] <ubuntuuser> mcphail: thats the reason. the controller shows up on steam. what's stranger is that steam sees 4 controllers titled xintupt controller
[20:53] <TTTA> Still digging for an Ethernet cable
[20:53] <TTTA> Might have to make one...
[20:54] <mcphail> ubuntuuser: I'd type "sleep 5 && udevadm monitor -p", unplug your keyboard, wait until the udev monitor program starts, plug your keyboard back in and then send the output to the author
[20:54] <Exagone313> squinty: if you need to know: I use X apps through SSH. And via pcmanfs I can go to /usr/share/applications and open the desktop files directly open the proper apps. I can open them as a file to know which category they are in. A better solution would be a menu integrated in a window that would do the same as desktop menus.
[20:54] <Exagone313> pcmanfm*
[20:54] <Bassem> EriC^^, ok i find it but ther's no option for stereo mix
[20:54] <EriC^^> where are you trying to record something?
[20:54] <Exagone313> I think I may add it to my future TODO projects
[20:54] <EriC^^> press record there and it'll show up in pavucontrol
[21:04] <TTTA_> ok, there's nothing really important on my Ubuntu partition, what's the easiest way to just nuke the whole damn thing from orbit?
[21:05] <squinty> gparted or cfdisk
[21:15] <goddard> Is the 4.4 kernel in the repos?
[21:15] <goddard> for 14.04
[21:17] <xangua> goddard: no
[21:17] <goddard> xangua: you think it will be put out in april?
[21:18] <k1l> goddard: yes. there will be a xenial backports kernel. like there is from every release
[21:19] <Bassem> how to change settings for flashplayer?
[21:20] <apes> Anyone know of a backport of SSSD 1.13 to Ubuntu 12.04?
[21:21] <MonkeyDust> !find sssd
[21:21] <MonkeyDust> !find sssd precise
[21:21] <apes> !find sssd precise-backports
[21:22] <bprompt> apes:    I'd assume you'd have to compile it possibly, I only see 1.8.6 for 12.04
[21:23] <Guest57898> I have a Ubuntu system with an SSH server. On that system Gnome is running. Is it possible to connect to that system via SSH and output the GUI on my local system?
[21:23] <apes> bprompt: Okay, that's what I figured
[21:24] <rickey426> hello
[21:24] <goddard> k1l: cool good to know
[21:26] <squinty>  Guest57898   ssh -X user@computer -> nautilus  (for example of using one application)  or teamviewer (again for example) for the whole remote desktop
[21:26] <bitches> hi
[21:27] <Guest57898> squinty, -> nautilus is part of the command?
[21:27] <squinty> Guest57898,  i just run after logging onto the remote
[21:29] <Guest57898> squinty, awesome. this works
[21:30] <Guest57898> thx
[21:30] <squinty> Guest57898,   :-)
[21:30] <mgolisch> sruli: you can specify the top and base for the blockcommit, so you can merge the latest snapshot into the previous one and just create a new one afterwards then
[21:30] <mgolisch> sruli: also maybe ask in #virt
[21:31] <Guest57898> Is it possible to run a browser based wiki in my LAN at home and access it via SSH from the internet somehow? I only want one port open on my firewall (SSH)
[21:33] <MonkeyDust> Guest57898  yes, Zim is a desktop based wiki program, but you can 'export to browser'
[21:33] <bitches> what is this? O.o
[21:34] <mgolisch> Guest57898: sure ssh supports portforwarding
[21:34] <k1l> bitches: please change your nick to something more appropriate. this is the technical ubuntu support channel
[21:34] <Guest57898> mgolisch, cool, how does this work exactly?
[21:36] <mgolisch> Guest57898: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/PortForwarding
[21:36] <Guest57898> mgolisch, thx
[21:37] <Omnija> I had a question, i recently came about having an imac G5 but couldn't find a guide on getting ubuntu onto it.
[21:37] <Omnija> not a powerpc
[21:40] <sruli>  mgolisch: i cant join #virt dont know why
[21:40] <Guest57898> mgolisch, remote forwarding would be what I need, right?
[21:42] <mgolisch> Guest57898: no that would allow to forward stuff from the ssh servers side to your client or machines in its network, but i think you want the other way arround (local forwarding)
[21:43] <BinaryDinner> how to change password input screen for decrypting partition during boot to be completely blank (black for example)?
[21:43] <Guest57898> mgolisch, say i have a pc with IP <IP_ADDRESS> user wiki on the machine there is an ssh server and apache and wikimedia software on port 80
[21:43] <Guest57898> on my router there port forwarding to this pc
[21:44] <Guest57898> (xubuntu)
[21:44] <ubuntu919> Hey all
[21:44] <Guest57898> let say my external internet IP is <IP_ADDRESS>
[21:44] <Guest57898> then how would I connect?
[21:45] <ubuntu919> Has anybody worked with aplay and arecord in here?
[21:45] <Guest57898> ssh -L 80:160.160.160:80 ?
[21:45] <Guest57898> no
[21:46] <Guest57898> wait
[21:46] <mgolisch> use the internal ip on the remote end or localhost if its on the same server
[21:46] <Guest57898> ssh -L 80:localhost:80<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[21:46] <Guest57898> ssh -L 80:localhost:80<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[21:46] <Guest57898> like that?
[21:47] <mgolisch> yeah but you can mostlikely not do that, as only root can bind to ports belov 1024 , choose a hogher port number for the local port
[21:47] <Guest57898> internal IP on remote end?
[21:48] <Guest57898> So bind apache to port 5000 for example?
[21:48] <mgolisch> no just use another port in the forwarding thing
[21:48] <ubuntu919> Basically, I'm trying to output stdout into a wav file. I can currently play sounds using "./<progname>|aplay" and that pipes the output just fine into aplay. I'm wondering how to record it into a wav file, as piping it into arecord doesn't produce an audible wav file.
[21:48] <mgolisch> like -L 8080:localhost:80
[21:49] <EriC^^> ubuntu919: never tried it but maybe <progname>|aplay && arecord something
[21:49] <Guest57898> the 8080 is the port at home or on my local pc?
[21:49] <EriC^^> ubuntu919: i mean, <progname>|aplay & arecord something
[21:50] <mgolisch> so what this does is: the ssh client creates a listen socket on 8080 and forwards all stuff on that through the tunnel to localhost:80 on the ssh server
[21:50] <mgolisch> Guest57898: that would be the localport on the ssh client
[21:50] <ubuntu919> EriC^^:  The problem is that I'm spewing bytes into standard output atm, and when it's piped into aplay, it's interpretted as sound. For some reason, arecord doesn't work the same way.
[21:51] <C_minus> I'm stuck in a login loop.
[21:51] <C_minus> 14.04
[21:51] <Guest57898> mgolisch, ok
[21:51] <ubuntu919> EriC^^:  I know that aplay is smart enough to interpret the data as sound as best it can, so I don't want to go through the curfuffle or programming my own wav output.
[21:52] <ubuntu919> EriC^^:  I'll give that a shot though, two seconds
[21:53] <chilversc_> is there a guide on improving desktop performance on a machine that doesn't support 3d?
[21:53] <chilversc_> it's a little irritating waiting 5 seconds while the menu runs a fade in effect
[21:53] <ubuntu919> EriC^^:  No dice :/ thanks for the help though
[21:54] <yeats> chilversc_: you might try a lighter DE - maybe XFCE or LXDE?
[21:54] <EriC^^> ubuntu919: hmm i think it works here
[21:54] <Guest57898> mgolisch,  ssh -L 8080:localhost:80<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[21:54] <yeats> chilversc_: (between those two, I prefer LXDE for light-on-resources/older machines)
[21:54] <ubuntu919> EriC^^:  it plays the sound, but it doesn't record the data
[21:55] <ubuntu919> EriC^^:  I tried ./<prog>|aplay & arecord -d 5 music.wav
[21:55] <EriC^^> ubuntu919: what gets put into something?
[21:55] <mgolisch> no idea but maybe arecord only records from input type channels?
[21:56] <ubuntu919> EriC^^: I basically want the output that's heard by aplay when a file is played, to be stored in an audio format file for a duration
[21:56] <Bashing-om> chilversc_: ^^ Maybe : Lubuntu is a faster, more lightweight and energy saving variant of Ubuntu using LXDE, the Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment. It is targeted at "normal" PC and laptop users running on low-spec hardware.
[21:56] <ubuntu919> EriC^^: My program generates procedural music, so I need the duration to cut off recording at some number of seconds.
[21:58] <chilversc_> Bashing-om: any easy way to switch from standard ubuntu install to lubuntu?
[21:58] <EriC^^> ubuntu919: i just tested here, it's recording but it's very very low volume
[21:59] <ubuntu919> EriC^^: Ohh, any idea on how to up the output?
[22:00] <C_minus> I just used Win7, and shut down. Tried to get back into Ubuntu. Get stuck in a login loop. Any ideas?
[22:00] <SonikkuAmerica> C_minus: Toss your ~/.Xauthority from a !tty and try to log in again.
[22:01] <Bashing-om> chilversc_: Yeah .. though I am not a proponent of multi-DEs / You could install ' sudo apt install lubuntu-desktop ' and at the login screen choose to start lxde .
[22:02] <C_minus> SonikkuAmerica I don't know what that means exactly. I dropped down to the terminal and tried chown user:user .Xauthority because some askubuntu answer suggested...
[22:02] <sawyer> hello?
[22:02] <SonikkuAmerica> C_minus: I'd just [ rm -rf ~/.Xauthority ] so that it creates the file from scratch again.
[22:02] <xangua> Aló
[22:03] <sawyer> q
[22:03] <sawyer> i just installed awesome wm and i'm stick in fullscreen
[22:03] <chilversc_> Bashing-om: I was more hoping to install one, then remove unity, just want to avoid re-installing the whole of ubuntu (and downloading another iso)
[22:04] <EriC^^> ubuntu919: slight improvement with record -f cd something
[22:04] <Bashing-om> sawyer: Hello ; You are in ubuntu support. you have an issue you need help with ?
[22:04] <C_minus> SonikkuAmerica so i typed what you said and hit ctrl alt f7 to get back to gui. same behaviour
[22:04] <EriC^^> *arecord
[22:04] <mgolisch> sawyer: what do you mean by that?
[22:04] <tsp`> SonikkuAmerica: i wouldn't use -rf just to delete one single file
[22:04] <mgolisch> sawyer: try win+space to switch to another tiling mode
[22:05] <Bashing-om> chilversc_: unity is deeply embeded in the system . not so easy to remove and not destroy the system . Is my take .
[22:05] <C_minus> it's no longer there, ./Xauthority No such file or directory
[22:05] <sawyer> Bashing-om: I just changed window managers for the first time. I choose to dive in headfirst. I've been messing around with the features and i'm stuck in fullscreen; meaning this app is the only thing on my screen.
[22:05] <mgolisch> sawyer: win+space
[22:06] <sawyer> mgolisch: i tried that. doesn't work
[22:06] <sawyer> i think hexchat has a hold on my keyboard input
[22:06] <mgolisch> sawyer: do you still see the taglist and stuff?
[22:07] <sawyer> mgolisch: it's fullscreen like i'm watching a movie about irc. no taglist
[22:08] <Bashing-om> sawyer: Never used awesome, but I would expect that when you right click on the title bar you get a number of options .
[22:08] <mgolisch> sawyer: maybe try win+n to minimize
[22:08] <C_minus> What does .Xauthority do? Now I'm worried that I deleted it! :(
[22:08] <sawyer> mgolisch: win+n did it
[22:08] <sawyer> mgolisch: but i can't make hexchat un-fullscreen.
[22:08] <sawyer> mgolisch: when i go back into it
[22:09] <sawyer> nvm got it
[22:10] <C_minus> So I deleted .Xauthority. No improvement.
[22:10] <sawyer> now on to my real question, haha. it seems like the dpi on my chrome window is really high. how do I change the dpi for it?
[22:10] <C_minus> SonikkuAmerica any ideas? I deleted it like you said.
[22:11] <mgolisch> sawyer: switch to some tilling layout using win+space
[22:12] <sawyer> mgolisch: doesn't change the dpi of chrome
[22:14] <mgolisch> yeah i know that was related to the previous problem
[22:15] <C_minus> I can't use my account or guest account. Both lead to login loop
[22:15] <C_minus> Started acting funny after booting into windows.
[22:15] <C_minus> Usually never have problems like this.
[22:17] <C_minus> What can I do to try and diagnose this problem?
[22:19] <C_minus> Might the login loop be somehow related to Nvidia? I have done several reboots since getting CUDA. But this is the first time rebooting after using Win7.
[22:19] <ikonia> since "getting" cuda ?
[22:20] <C_minus> ikonia yes since installing cuda, what's the ambiguity there?
[22:20] <ikonia> "installing cuda" ? how did you install cuda ?
[22:20] <C_minus> runfile
[22:20] <ikonia> ???
[22:20] <ikonia> do you mean you install the nvidia propitary modules ?
[22:21] <qualiaqq> Is there a need of people to contribute to updating repositories? I notice a lot of things are out of date, but I am not sure what is really behind all that. If there is a need for people to do this kind of stuff, is there a place where I can read about it?
[22:22] <ikonia> no
[22:22] <ikonia> the main repos are there for stability and the version numbers do not get bumped
[22:22] <mcphail> !latest | qualiaqq
[22:22] <C_minus> i already had some nvidia driver from the "additional drivers" panel. later i got the cuda toolkit and cudnn. i believe it installed a driver during the cuda toolkit installation too. Though I have rebooted without problem several times since then.
[22:22] <C_minus> http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/6_5/rel/docs/CUDA_Getting_Started_Linux.pdf Chapter 4 ikonia
[22:22] <hihello> hello guys
[22:23] <hihello> i have a question on ubuntu
[22:23] <ikonia> C_minus: why do you do this stuff ???
[22:23] <hihello> what
[22:23] <C_minus> why do i get cuda?
[22:23] <ikonia> C_minus: read the Xorg log and the .Xsession logs of the user you're tring to login
[22:24] <bass> howto disable ALT + LeftClick dragging the window?
[22:25] <C_minus> ikonia i had a look in /var/logs/Xorg.0.log but I don't really know what I'm looking for
[22:25] <ikonia> C_minus: errors
[22:25] <qualiaqq> Alright I see. I was just sort of looking for something that is low barrier to entry to contribute to open source.
[22:25] <ikonia> and look at the .xsession logs
[22:27] <C_minus> ikonia I see "(EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)
[22:28] <ikonia> C_minus: there you go, thats pretty serious
[22:28] <mcphail> qualiaqq: package maintenance is a major undertaking. Try starting with a PPA, and see how you get on
[22:28] <C_minus> I have no idea what might have caused this.
[22:28] <ikonia> although you do get a login window X session right ?
[22:28] <ikonia> C_minus: installing 3rd party drivers off the net is a good start of how to break it
[22:29] <Bashing-om> qualiaqq: Entry level point : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2260620&p=13206678#post13206678 <- Ubuntu Find-A-Task .
[22:29] <C_minus> ikonia if you mean the normal login screen, then yes. it goes black and loops back to ask for my password every time.
[22:29] <ikonia> C_minus: so it's obviously loading "some" Xorg driver/module
[22:29] <C_minus> I kinda had to get the NVIDIA drivers to make enable to GPU acceleration stuff...
[22:29] <ikonia> or you wouldn't get a login prompt
[22:29] <qualiaqq> Bashing-om, thanks
[22:30] <Guest58432> ciao
[22:30] <ikonia> C_minus: I doubt that, but thats not my problem
[22:30] <qualiaqq> mcphail, oic I didn't realize that. I guess I was underestimating what went into it.
[22:30] <Bashing-om> qualiaqq: Welcome, we can use all the help we can get .
[22:30] <hihello> h
[22:31] <C_minus> well when i'm not patching up my falling-apart computer, i train neural networks. you're saying i have to choose between having CUDA and a desktop environment?
[22:31] <ikonia> C_minus: not saying that at all
[22:32] <mcphail> qualiaqq: Bashing-om's link is a good one. Follow that and dive in :)
[22:33] <tork> il mio nick?
[22:33] <C_minus> This used to happen whenever I used Win7 and rebooted back to Ubuntu. But I used to be able to solve it by using an older kernel version. Now even that has the same problem.
[22:33] <ikonia> C_minus: a.) login to the terminal - check the xsession logs
[22:33] <ikonia> b.) use the fallback/failsafe mode - test you can login to the X session there
[22:33] <ikonia> then move forward
[22:34] <ikonia> you need to learn how to manage your machine/desktop though
[22:34] <ikonia> it's all very well saying "I train neural networks" but if you can't manage the box you use, it's a pointless function
[22:35] <Khaotic> how do i change the login screen bg ion 15.10
[22:36] <tork> No!!!
[22:37] <C_minus> ikonia good advice. it begins with "Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0".
[22:40] <C_minus> I'm curious as to why this might manifest itself only after using Win7
[22:40] <MrXXIV> Anyone use the terminal?
[22:40] <ikonia> C_minus: you have no idea what other updates have happened in the background
[22:41] <ikonia> C_minus: follow the debugging steps I suggested
[22:43] <Bashing-om> MrXXIV: Most of us do use the terminal, what is the real question ?
[22:43] <mekhami> what can i do to output my current volume level to the command line?
[22:43] <ikonia> mekhami: use the gui - thats what it's there for
[22:43] <mekhami> ikonia.......
[22:43] <mekhami> .........
[22:44] <ikonia> what ?
[22:44] <mekhami> if that were what i asked for, man that'd be a great answer
[22:44] <ikonia> mekhami: what are you playing sound through ?
[22:44] <Seveas> mekhami: amixer.
[22:44] <Seveas> or alsamixer if you want a curses interface.
[22:44] <mekhami> Seveas: i really just want a text output of the current volume level
[22:44] <mekhami> i suppose i can do some regex on amixer get Master
[22:45] <Seveas> mekhami: there is no such thing as 'the current volume level'.
[22:45] <mekhami> ....
[22:45] <mekhami> is everyone retarded today
[22:45] <Seveas> no, but you seem to very insulting. So go away please or behave.
[22:45] <mekhami> did i miss a memo
[22:45] <mekhami> i must have missed the 'be really stupid today' memo
[22:46] <Seveas> no, I think you received that just fine :)
[22:49] <DaMastah> Hi :) Is there a way to aggregate two samba mounts into one with aufs ? I have a setup that "kinda works" except I get a "device is busy" error when I try to create a file the aufs mount...
[22:49] <hihello> GUYS
[22:49] <hihello> GUYS IS THERE A WAY TO SEE ALL OF YOUR CMDS
[22:49] <ikonia> DaMastah: I can't see how that would work with samba
[22:49] <ikonia> hihello: don't type in caps
[22:49] <hihello> EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE WORKING IN GUI UN UBUNTU
[22:49] <ikonia> hihello: "history" or "fc -l"
[22:49] <hihello> ok
[22:50] <hihello> no
[22:50] <hihello> but lets say i am workingin gui
[22:50] <hihello> but i want to see cmds of it
[22:50] <hihello> is this possible
[22:50] <ikonia> there are no commands
[22:50] <ikonia> it's a gui
[22:50] <Revian1> ^
[22:50] <hihello> you didnt understand
[22:50] <DaMastah> ikonia: that's too bad :( It works with mhddfs though but it's kinda slow because it's a fuse fs
[22:50] <Revian1> I was about to say that ikonia
[22:50] <C_minus> I never (knowingly) installed Nvidia Optimus tool for switching graphics cards. Could that be a problem?
[22:50] <hihello> if you work in gui
[22:50] <hihello> its still cmds
[22:50] <ikonia> C_minus: yes,
[22:50] <ikonia> hihello: no, it's not
[22:51] <ikonia> hihello: a button press on a gui does not = a command
[22:51] <hihello> what is it then
[22:51] <hihello> please explanin
[22:51] <ikonia> or functions
[22:51] <ikonia> a call to libraries
[22:52] <hihello> ok thank you
[22:53] <C_minus> ikonia actually dpkg -l grep nvidia shows 2 resulsts: the second is nvidia-prime - which handles switching graphics cards.
[22:53] <MonkeyDust> hihello  you can download the source of a program, without installing, then read it... you will see a button click is not the same as    [command] [enter]
[22:53] <seanrdev> I just did an update on a lot of packages. How can I undo all update just installed? Does apt have a rollback option or something?
[22:53] <ikonia> C_minus: did you do what I told you to do yet ?
[22:54] <xangua> seanrdev: usually no, and why you wanna do that?
[22:54] <C_minus> ikonia you said read the xsession and Xorg.0.log. Since I've never seen these outputs before I'm googling them as I go
[22:55] <seanrdev> xangua: it took days to get wireless working with backports. now after the update its out again!!!
[22:56] <ikonia> C_minus: I also told you to login via the tty, and login to the X11 session to test the failsafe session
[22:56] <xangua> seanrdev: please elaborate, what Ubuntu release, what wireless drivers, how did you make it with the first time?
[23:01] <seanrdev> Ubuntu 15.10 (Because of the 4.2 kernel). ath10k drivers. Had to follow the bug report at bugs.launchpad.net bug number 1520343. Post #22
[23:01] <Revian1> Hey, the global menu can be set to always on. I don't know who did that, but thank you so much
[23:02] <C_minus> ikonia by that do you mean the ctrl-alt-f1 combination? how do i login to the x11 session to test the failsafe session?
[23:03] <jegarcia> god i hate webex
[23:03] <MannyLNJ> Question: I verified my router is fowarding port 22 to my ubuntu system. I verified my ISP is not blocking port 22. I also verified there is no firewall running on the ubuntu system and that I am trying to connect to the right IP but I am still unable to SSH from the outside. What else can be the issue>?
[23:04] <Revian1> C_minus, I believe that is what he meant. ctrl+alt+f1 will take you to tty1 and allow you to log in via test mode.
[23:04] <hihello> guys
[23:04] <C_minus> i typed in my login and password sure
[23:04] <hihello> does it take a lot of programming to be a good hacker
[23:04] <C_minus> Revian1 what is the failsafe aspect?
[23:05] <ikonia> C_minus: testing it via the console, and changing the xorg.conf to remove the nvidia module and use the vesa module will run as a failsafe X11 session
[23:05] <ikonia> hihello: that is nothing to do with this channel
[23:05] <Jordan_U> MannyLNJ: systemctl status ssh
[23:05] <Revian1> C_minus, I'm not sure, I am nowhere near as skilled as ikonia .. he's been doing this for quite a while
[23:05] <hihello> ikonia what is your job ? here
[23:05] <hihello> moderator ?
[23:05] <ikonia> I don't have a job here,
[23:05] <hihello> just wondering
[23:05] <ikonia> ahh sorry yes
[23:06] <hihello> ah ok
[23:06] <C_minus> what exactly am i meant to be testing? do i run "startx"?
[23:07] <ikonia> C_minus: no, just testing it logged in on the console and authed ok etc etc, thats all
[23:07] <Revian1> ikonia, You may have lost C_minus at 'changing the xorg.conf'
[23:07] <C_minus> yeah i logged in. this is how i've been reading those log files
[23:08] <ikonia> C_minus: thats fine, just checking the basics
[23:08] <Jordan_U> MannyLNJ: Can you successfully ssh in from another host on your LAN? How are you testing a connection from "the outside world"?
[23:10] <C_minus> it says /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d No such file or directory
[23:10] <ikonia> C_minus: what does ?
[23:10] <seanrdev> xangua: Yeah I just recopied the files and it works again. I don't know what happened during the update but that fixed it.
[23:11] <C_minus> ikonia - the shell, i guess?
[23:11] <ikonia> C_minus: what are you doing to get that error
[23:11] <C_minus> same for without the .d
[23:11] <ikonia> C_minus: what are you doing to get that error
[23:12] <C_minus> erm nano ./xorg.conf
[23:12] <C_minus> from that directory
[23:12] <ikonia> C_minus: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[23:13] <C_minus> Ah, there are lots of files beginning xorg.conf in that directory, followed by numbers (dates?)
[23:13] <C_minus> and one with failsafe at the end
[23:13] <ikonia> it's not a directory
[23:13] <ikonia> it's a file
[23:13] <C_minus> in /etc/X11
[23:14] <ikonia> is there a file called /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[23:14] <C_minus> no, just the several versions with numbers after
[23:14] <ikonia> C_minus: can you pastebin ls -la /etc/X11 please
[23:15] <C_minus> ikonia it's kinda hard, i'm on a different laptop to talk to you
[23:15] <ikonia> C_minus: thats fine
[23:15] <C_minus> i can type it out
[23:15] <ikonia> no no, I understand
[23:15] <ikonia> so if you do "ls -la /etc/X11/xorg.conf" what do you get ?
[23:16] <C_minus> ls: cannot access /etc/X11/xorg.conf: No such fie or directory
[23:16] <ikonia> perfect, ok
[23:16] <ikonia> C_minus: so what are the other files in /etc/X11 ?
[23:18] <C_minus> app-defaults, cursors, default-display-manager, fonts, rgb.txt, xint, xkb, xorg.conf.XXXXXXXX (several of these), xorg.conf.failsafe, Xreset, Xreset.d, Xresources, Xsession, Xsession.d, Xsession.options, xsm, Xwrapper.config
[23:18] <ikonia> C_minus: interesting, normally if you're using nvidia it makes an xorg.conf to force the loading of the nvidia module,
[23:18] <ikonia> C_minus: what version of ubuntu is this ?
[23:18] <C_minus> 14.04
[23:19] <ikonia> ok, so it will still honour the xorg.conf
[23:19] <ikonia> C_minus: look at the timestamps on the xorg.conf.whatever
[23:19] <ikonia> find the last one, and open it
[23:19] <C_minus> The most recent one is today
[23:19] <ikonia> C_minus: ok, so that would explain why it's broke toda
[23:19] <ikonia> today
[23:19] <ikonia> C_minus: lets try a basic test for "luck"
[23:20] <ikonia> C_minus: copy that file to be called xorg.conf (not move - copy)
[23:20] <C_minus> OK, its some blocks of stuff with a few indents...
[23:20] <C_minus> which file, the latest one?
[23:20] <ikonia> yes
[23:20] <C_minus> ok hold on a sec
[23:21] <C_minus> ikonia ok i copied it to a new file called xorg.conf
[23:22] <Neo> hey guys, how can I get my macbook touchpad right click working? I'm on ubuntu wily on a macbook 8,1
[23:22] <ikonia> C_minus: reboot and see what happens
[23:22] <ikonia> C_minus: bit of a luck shot before debugging in more detail
[23:23] <C_minus> hehe thanks, I appreciate this ikonia
[23:24] <C_minus> ikonia WOAH! beautiful lovely gorgeous desktop, panel and launcher appear!
[23:24] <C_minus> ikonia I owe you a million quid.
[23:24] <ikonia> C_minus: look of the draw,
[23:24] <ikonia> C_minus: something is changing/backing up your xorg.conf - find it
[23:25] <ikonia> C_minus: or keep a copy of that file for if it happens again
[23:26] <C_minus> ikonia, if you had the patience, I'd love to hear what your rationale behind suggesting this solution was. because it largely seems like witchcraft to me. (you mean go to /etc/X11 and save the xorg.conf i just made, and be able to back it up from a usb stick or whatever?)
[23:26] <ikonia> C_minus: just keep a copy in your home dir eg: xorg.conf.safe
[23:27] <ikonia> C_minus: I just know how xorg works to a level that made it a common sense thing to do, just experience, nothing else
[23:28] <C_minus> ikonia also does it strike you as strange that i encounter these kinds of issues after shutting down a win7 session and trying to use ubuntu again? This guy mentions it, but it's a bit of a dead end http://stackoverflow.com/a/29041693
[23:28] <knee> Where is the ENV_SUPATH located in ubuntu
[23:29] <ikonia> C_minus: I suspect what's happened is you've rebooted say 10 times no probles, in the 10'th time an update happened, you rebooted into windows, no problem, you booted back into ubuntu and the pending update happened and broke this
[23:29] <ikonia> C_minus: I'm making a guess without any information
[23:31] <C_minus> ikonia thanks again, you're a very helpful and patient fellow
[23:31] <C_minus> i'm a bigtime newcomer to computing and whatnot, so thanks
[23:32] <C_minus> see ya later ubuntuphiles
[23:33] <knee> How can you config your login policy so that users can only login in at a certin time
[23:34] <nolsen> what is amd64-microcode used for and do I need it?
[23:37] <Bashing-om> nolsen: does ' apt-cache show amd64-microcode ' answer that question(s) .
[23:38] <nolsen> Sorta, though https://askubuntu.com/questions/297628/should-i-install-amd64-microcode says it's a 32bit program, but I can't see if that's true.
[23:41] <Bashing-om> nolsen: "think" they are talking that Left 4 Dead 2 is a 32 bit program .
[23:53] <homa_> hi my friends
[23:54] <nacc> nolsen: Bashing-om's suggestion is pretty complete. It's for AMD processor microcode
[23:55] <nacc> nolsen: the package itself doesn't provide any "programs" really, unless you mean the bin files that are microcode themselves
[23:58] <dienes> hi


[21:33] <arm_> Hi...can someone help me with this question ? When I run top I always see 'watchdog/0 and watchdog/1' running, but I have no watchdog package installed in my Ubuntu. I was first suspecting that I had some watchdog package installed but when I looked if I had /dev/watchdog file being written or some package installed ...there was  nothing in /dev starting with w*. Can someone explain what this watchdog/0 is doing ?
