[00:00] <Heart-Of-A-Lion> hello
[00:00] <curlyears> hhello?
[00:01] <Heart-Of-A-Lion> Will Ubuntu ever become a rolling release distribution?
[00:01] <bonsairoot> no
[00:01] <Heart-Of-A-Lion> Does anyone know if there are any plans for that?
[00:02] <Heart-Of-A-Lion> Like for example Arch/Manjaro
[00:03] <bazhang> !snappy | Heart-Of-A-Lion
[00:03] <curlyears> I am not sure I understand what you mean  by a "rolling release?"
[00:03] <bazhang> curlyears, newest packages availbe immediately
[00:03] <curlyears> I ordered my raspberry Pi3 this afternoon   *grin*
[00:04] <bonsairoot> Heart-Of-A-Lion, Canonical has no reason to switch to a rolling release what so ever. That would not be worth it ... not for the user choosing ubuntu nor for canonical
[00:05] <curlyears> bonsairoot: that makes sense
[00:05] <throgoth> Hello everyone. I have a rather noobish, but short question. Am I right here to ask?
[00:05] <Heart-Of-A-Lion> With rolling release I mean, install once and then never again, because everything is updated after the initial install via the package manager. Kernel, software, security packages, themes, everything. Like Manjaro for example, which is based on Arch..
[00:05] <Fudge> jsut ask
[00:06] <curlyears> *sigh* for some reason, none  of the people I am used to seeing in this channel seem to be here.
[00:07] <curlyears> Heart-Of-A-Lion: well, my ubuntu 14.04.4 receives "pushes" updates several times/week
[00:07] <squinty> !ask | throgoth
[00:07] <curlyears> hey, squintyu
[00:07] <_{Tite}_> hi everyon
[00:08] <curlyears> squinty:  any ides why an apt-get of gnome would foul up the BIOS settings on my 14.04.4 system?
[00:08] <throgoth> I plan to install multiple linux distors and I wonder wheter it is better to make for each installation a new partition, or if one / partition will work just fine? My bet is, that I need a new part for each install, am I right?
[00:08] <squinty> curlyears,  never heard of such a thing personally
[00:09] <Heart-Of-A-Lion> So even when a new version of Ubuntu is released, you won't have to re-install or upgrade, because due to the rolling release you then already have all the latest versions of everything.
[00:09] <curlyears> that is almost certainly the case. throgoth.   Think about it.  Different distros will like contain different contents in the / dir
[00:09] <Bashing-om> throgoth: True .. each on its own partition .. but a sharded /swap partition .
[00:09] <squinty> throgoth, separate    swap can be common
[00:10] <curlyears> Ah, no, you do have to explicity choose to upgrade with new versions
[00:10] <throgoth> And /home? Can this part be shared?
[00:10] <bonsairoot> throgoth, Depending on your partitioning scheme you can share partitions
[00:10] <curlyears> squinty:  it appears to have happened to me
[00:11] <Bashing-om> throgoth: Not a good thought .. config file !
[00:11] <_{Tite}_> anyone heard of problems with libvirt or ovs after upgrading to 16.04
[00:11] <bonsairoot> throgoth, See here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/55224/a-common-home-partition-for-multiple-linux-distributions
[00:12] <jalt> Hi, how do I fully disable avahi-daemon from a fresh 16.04 install? The obvious systemctl disable avahi-daemon did not work.
[00:13] <curlyears> squinty:  it took  me 4 days to oidentify and correct the problem, and required a fresh reinstall of 14.04.4
[00:13] <_{Tite}_> I just upgraded, now kvm wont bring up more than one vm, complaining it can not add the new interface to the bridge
[00:13] <throgoth> Okay, thank you for the help. Much appreciated :)
[00:13] <hans_> I just updated libssl-doc_1.0.2g-1ubuntu4.1_all.deb openssl_1.0.2g-1ubuntu4.1_i386.deb libssl-dev_1.0.2g-1ubuntu4.1_i386.deb libssl1.0.0_1.0.2g-1ubuntu4.1_i386.deb
[00:14] <hans_> Lost my wifi as a result, reverted back to the old packages
[00:14] <hans_> Has any one else come accross this?
[00:14] <nebg> hello everyone... which is the difference between "shopt" and "set" i see the operate on different options...but which options relate to set and which to shopt  ?
[00:16] <curlyears> reisio;   found that switching to EUFI enabled in the BIOS., from "Auto" and correcting a somehow alteredd boot disk prioirity allowed me to successfully reinstall
[00:16] <django_> if im going to reinstall ubuntu is it worth installing 16.04?
[00:17] <squinty> django_,  seems pretty stable at this end
[00:17] <jalt> django_, might depend on your intentions, but 16.04 will come with more recent packages and longer support time.
[00:18] <django_> im mainly concerned with my two graphaics cards
[00:18] <curlyears> django_:  most people seem to think so, though I've been seeing a lot of people who have coming in here with problems, especially related to networking and wireless stufff. YMMV
[00:18] <django_> the nvidia drivers work on 16.04?
[00:18] <effectnet> why would samba stop reporting sizes heh
[00:18] <curlyears> A number of peple have complained of issues with nvidia support
[00:19] <reisio> curlyears: to eufi from what, 'legacy'?
[00:19] <reisio> django_: nouveau will likely work in any version
[00:19] <jalt> the best course of action will be for you to try a livecd version first
[00:19] <hans_> I upgraded to 16_04 (kubuntu) without a hitch, just the latest update killed my network...
[00:19] <reisio> django_: the proprietary nvidia drivers will always need particular version constraints, and particular Linux/kernel constraints
[00:20] <curlyears> reisio:   No.  There was an option in Advanced BIOS Functions menu for CD Boot EUFI setting
[00:20] <squinty> django_,  been a few users having problems with gtx 960m    not sure if problems were resolved or not
[00:20] <django_> squinty, my problems were solved
[00:20] <reisio> curlyears: and you changed it /to/ eufi? From what?
[00:20] <django_> i run the nvidia X Server settings
[00:20] <squinty> django_,  good to hear
[00:20] <django_> and i can chose which graphics card to control
[00:20] <django_> i wanna make sure i can do the same in 16.04
[00:21] <reisio> django_: you absolutely can, even if they don't work immediately at the outset (which I couldn't comment on)
[00:21] <reisio> django_: at most you will have to 1) choose a different nvidia driver version and/or 2) choose a different kernel version
[00:22] <reisio> both fairly trivial tasks, should you need to execute them
[00:22] <curlyears> reisio: the options were EUFI, whatever the alternative to eufi is, and "Auto."   Since I had no idea, I chose Auto, considering that safest.  It worked for a while, but chanoing it to EUFI helped resolvemy weird issues
[00:22] <django_> reisio, those are options right?
[00:22] <torpet> What's the best way to install vlc 2.2.2 on Ubuntu 14.04?
[00:23] <reisio> curlyears: <sigh> so uninformative :p
[00:23] <curlyears> but as I said, it also turned out the BIOS setting for boot disk priority had been altered to point to the incorrect drive.  WEIRD
[00:23] <reisio> curlyears: I wanna know what it was already set at :p
[00:23] <reisio> curlyears: anyway gj, isn't U/EFI fun? :p
[00:23] <reisio> django_: hrmm?
[00:23] <django_> reisio, i dont know what this means: "at most you will have to 1) choose a different nvidia driver version and/or 2) choose a different kernel version"
[00:24] <curlyears> reisio:   I don't knnow how to find out, it was originallyy set to "Auto."  Presumably, since it origincally allowed the system wo work with the 3TB drive, the "auto" setting ended up selecting EUFI
[00:24] <jalt> torpet, I don't think it is possible other than compiling from source
[00:24] <jalt> i know the ppa is not better than the default package for 14.04
[00:24] <awesome-0> im having a wake on lan issue in 14.04 it works on initial install and then after a update no longer
[00:25] <festerB> django_: can't you try nvidia server settings on a live cd/usb? btw np here with nvidia on 16.04
[00:25] <torpet> jalt: vlc on ubuntu 14.04 is at 2.1.6 or something
[00:25] <reisio> django_: it means if it doesn't "just work", that to get it to work, you will have to do, at most, one of or both of those things
[00:25] <jalt> awesome-0, you need to use ethtool to set the WoL options and make sure they are written to the device on every boot
[00:25] <django_> festerB, oh good point
[00:25] <jalt> torpet, yes 2.1.6
[00:25] <reisio> awesome-0: what're you waking it from?
[00:26] <curlyears> OH, I did notice  in the partition table while in parted that the "swap" partition wasa set up as an LVM.   WHy was that?
[00:26] <awesome-0> wake on magic packet from my router
[00:26] <reisio> awesome-0: oh, fancy router :)
[00:26] <reisio> awesome-0: so it worked before? When exactly? What kind of update did you make?
[00:26] <jalt> awesome-0, you may also want to double check that your BIOS options are not preventing WoL. Some low-power settings will disrupt it
[00:27] <awesome-0> it works after install but a software update is breaking it
[00:27] <reisio> awesome-0: ...update of what
[00:27] <reisio> awesome-0: and what is it you installed that you are attributing your wol having worked via before?
[00:28] <awesome-0> mate software update system-administration-software update
[00:28] <awesome-0> though the gui
[00:28] <curlyears> reisio: unfortunately, the auto-update pushes from ubuntu.com don't really tell you much about WHAT they're updating, and the stuff flows by onthe screen so fast i know *I* can't follow it.
[00:28] <awesome-0> it works on install right out of the box
[00:29] <reisio> curlyears: don't speak for people :p
[00:29] <reisio> awesome-0: what's the network device name?
[00:29] <awesome-0> etho
[00:29] <squinty> awesome-0,  check to see if wake-on is "g" (needs to be)  sudo ethtool <net card name>
[00:29] <reisio> squinty: ^
[00:30] <reisio> it probably says 'Wake-on: d', ATM
[00:30] <awesome-0> that changes after the update, i saw alot of documentation on scripting it to be applied at boot but had little success when i tried on 16.04
[00:30] <squinty> awesome-0, if not    sudo ethtool -s eth0 wol g
[00:30] <awesome-0> its wake on g atm
[00:30] <lachy> hi guys, i was a fan of overlay scrollbars in trusty but they've been ditched in xenial, any way to make the gnome scrollbars thicker, they're so thin and hard to grab
[00:30] <curlyears> I am going to re-d/l bitchx from a different source (git it this timefrom sourceforge) and try building it again
[00:31] <squinty> din-dins time..........
[00:31] <reisio> awesome-0: okay, then suspend your system and see if the router can wake it
[00:32] <awesome-0> right now i can it works like a charm
[00:32] <reisio> awesome-0: check 'ethool eth0' again after you wake it, make sure it still says 'g'
[00:33] <reisio> awesome-0: to be clear, are you telling your router to wake this box _from another box_, or does your router specifically have its own method of waking things _directly from itself_?
[00:33] <reisio> the former is problematic, the latter is not
[00:33] <awesome-0> i can do it direct from the router with a magic packet
[00:33] <reisio> okay, good :)
[00:33] <jalt> awesome-0: if you have another box in the same subnet you may want to fire up wireshark/tcpdump when you WoL to make sure the magic packet is being sent properly
[00:34] <awesome-0> ok im on the system will suspend and report
[00:34] <reisio> should really work find from the router
[00:34] <reisio> it's more likely his wake-on is re-setting to not-g
[00:34] <reisio> which is obviously fixable
[00:34] <reisio> work fine*
[00:36] <festerB> i'm currently running MATE 16.04 but drooling over Xubuntu, anyone here who has run both and care to comment on likes/dislikes?
[00:36] <jalt> on some old hardware i once had i needed to boot into windows once and set WoL in there first. only then would WoL work from Linux, apparently because the (Linux) driver could not access the setting directly. If the machine ever went to deep sleep (power outage) I had to do it all over again
[00:37] <jalt> I am on Xubuntu since 9-ish and It Just Works (TM). Well, most of the time ;)
[00:37] <hans_> I use xubuntu and kubuntu, I like both
[00:37] <effectnet> i dont even know what this stuff is

[00:38] <Heart-Of-A-Lion> Do you see that as a specific reply to you?

[00:39] <Heart-Of-A-Lion> aha okay
[00:39] <effectnet> an ubuntu channel?  really?
[00:39] <Ben64> because people are bored/dumb
[00:39] <effectnet> really
[00:39] <effectnet> ubunt
[00:39] <Ben64> yes it happens quite often actually
[00:39] <tgm4883> best to just report and ignore
[00:39] <dax> been a heck of a day today
[00:39] <awesome-0> so suspend works
[00:39] <tgm4883> dax: that's why you get paid the big.. uh... bits
[00:39] <krabador> oooh, i  really miss you
[00:40] <dax> tgm4883: lol

[00:40] <neglesaks> yeah it been quite a gday. I managed to get up before 7 oclock
[00:40] <effectnet> i dont understand why my samba slowed down so much
[00:40] <Ben64> it's a botnet, nothing to worry about, they're just wasting time
[00:40] <curlyears> dagnab itdd
[00:40] <neglesaks> then you know it's gonna be bad
[00:41] <curlyears> dagnab it, I am following the directions in the INSTALL file distributed in the bitchx-1.21.1 archive.   make doesn't like thhose commands
[00:42] <festerB> hans_ jalt so Xubuntu worth a shot when coming from MATE?
[00:43] <jalt> I only saw MATE briefly on Mint, so I can't comment much, but XFCE on Xubuntu looks familiar if you're a fan of GTK2
[00:43] <effectnet> what are all these distros?  does this kind of thing splinter work at all?
[00:43] <reisio> festerB: I find Xfce and GNOME 2/MATE very easily configured to work and look like one another
[00:43] <reisio> effectnet: not exactly
[00:43] <curlyears> reisio: do you think it would be safe to try building and installing gnome again?
[00:44] <jalt> resource wise I'd say it's obviously lighter than either gnome shell, unity or KDE, but not truly light (openbox, i3, and so on)
[00:44] <reisio> curlyears: what's gnome got to do with uefi & booting a cd?
[00:44]  * reisio hugs Xfce
[00:44] <curlyears> reisio: trying to install and select gnome is what seems to have precipitated this crisis
[00:45] <jalt> not sure what you were doing/trying to do curlyears, but having multiple DEs on ubuntu is a sure recipe for disaster.
[00:45] <curlyears> it was when i rebooted as instructed in  selecting gnome as my default file manager that the problem arose
[00:45] <reisio> curlyears: I don't see how that's possible, really
[00:45] <jalt> gnome? file manager?
[00:46] <jalt> do you mean nautilus? or desktop environment?
[00:47] <neglesaks> gnome is a desktop environment. the file manager is nautilus for regular gnome-debian
[00:47] <curlyears> jalt:  when I ran the apt-get install for gnome, after it built it, it brought up a screen which offered to allow me to select default file manger.  I chose gnome
[00:47] <reisio> it's actually just named 'Files' now, AIUI
[00:47] <reisio> sad but true
[00:47] <neglesaks> Oh, right.
[00:47] <curlyears> jalt:   yes, gnome instead of nautilus
[00:47] <dchapman> Amazingly, icewm is even lighter in resources than i3. Pity it's an abandoned project.
[00:47] <reisio> I think I'll continue to call it 'nautilus'
[00:47] <reisio> as 'files' is useless as a name
[00:47] <reisio> 'nautilus' or 'the file manager'
[00:47] <jalt> i am confused. is gnome now the name of nautilus on Gnome (the DE)?
[00:47] <neglesaks> it could be worse. they could call it 'file explorer'
[00:48] <reisio> jalt: nautilus (now "files") is the file manager of GNOME, a DE
[00:48] <reisio> they could call it dolphin :p
[00:48] <reisio> that'd be worse
[00:48] <jalt> right, so how did curlyears install gnome instead of nautilus?
[00:48] <neglesaks> willie
[00:48] <reisio> jalt: not sure how it matters even if he did
[00:48] <curlyears> I am totally confused.  I was advised to switch to gnome from whatever the default in 14.04.4 is.
[00:49] <jalt> the default is gnome. gnome 3 shell
[00:49] <dchapman> Who advised this?
[00:49] <curlyears> I ran "sudo apt-get install gnome"
[00:50] <curlyears> dchapman: several people in here.  I was having some very strange problems which turned out to be a corrupted list of repos in may apt repo list.
[00:50] <curlyears> OK.  So I am already running gnome, then.   Fine.
[00:51] <curlyears> s/may/my/
[00:51] <Significantbits> So, I am trying to have a persistent ubuntu environment on a 128GB flash drive, but for some reason when I right click on computer and go to properties, it says that I only have 4gb of storage. Would anyone be willing to help me out with this issue?
[00:51] <Significantbits> gparted sees all 128gb of the flash drive
[00:51] <Ben64> Significantbits: well how did you put it on the flash drive
[00:52] <jalt> Significantbits: what partitions does gparted see? and are you using EFI or BIOS?
[00:52] <Significantbits> I used universal usb installer.
[00:52]  * curlyears gone for the day
[00:52] <Significantbits> Gparted sees the ssd in my laptop and the flash drive.
[00:53] <jalt> i meant what partitions within the flash drive
[00:53] <awesome-0> after so looking around i think my wol issue is related to changes in network manager
[00:53] <jalt> (and i presume you want to have a portable, self-contained ubuntu enviroment in the flash drive, right?)
[00:53] <Significantbits> Oh, it just sees dev/sdb1
[00:53] <Significantbits> yes.
[00:54] <lachy> fucken useless cunts
[00:54] <jalt> so dev/sdb1 is the only partition on dev/sdb? how big is the partition
[00:54] <Significantbits> 115gb, which makes sense because its 128gb
[00:54] <jalt> is your flash drive mounted? can you cd to it?
[00:54] <Significantbits> but when I right click on computer and go to properties it only shows 4gb free.
[00:55] <jalt> just open a terminal and type df
[00:55] <jalt> it should show the partitions and sizes
[00:55] <Significantbits> df sees /dev/sdb1
[00:55] <jalt> then it's probably something wrong with the right click thingy
[00:56] <jalt> uh, unless that usb installer of yours actually created some form of ramdisk that is 4GB
[00:57] <Significantbits> That might be what it did. Because I see casper-rw
[00:57] <jalt> ah.
[00:57] <django_> once i have a bootable USB how do i run it to install ubuntu?
[00:57] <jalt> you probably have to ask whoever did your tool.
[00:57] <Significantbits> the slider only went up to 4gb in the tool I believe. Is there any way I can have an environment that accesses all 128gb?
[00:58] <jalt> django_: you need to go to your computer's BIOS and/or select USB as the boot source (and you may or may not need to disable safe boot)
[00:58] <django_> ohh
[00:58] <django_> lol
[00:58] <django_> ty jalt
[00:58] <jalt> there is usually a key you can press to bring up the boot menu
[00:58] <jalt> like F10 or F12
[00:58] <django_> im on ubuntu right now, i want to reinstall
[00:58] <jalt> that way you don't need to actually enter the BIOS itself
[00:59] <django_> jalt, i want to reinstall ubuntu on existing ubuntu
[00:59] <django_> do i still need to do that?
[00:59] <jalt> make sure you backup everything first, and good luck
[00:59] <Ben64> Significantbits: why do you need that much on a persistent live usb
[00:59] <Ben64> Significantbits: seems like you'd be better off with a real install at that point
[01:00] <jalt> django_: if you want to wipe the current ubuntu and start from scratch, yes.
[01:00] <festerB> Significantbits: I seem to remember something about casper-rw partition limited to 4GB, major voodoo needed to make it bigger, did not try it out
[01:00] <django_> jalt, will it create a new SSH key?
[01:01] <Significantbits> Well, my ssd in my laptop is only 256gb, and I didn't want to go through the trouble of installing another one, and I thought it would just be nice to have it on a flash drive since I have multiple computers. I could just boot into it on any of them.
[01:01] <jalt> django_ I believe so, but you may backup your current one before you nuke it all
[01:01] <django_> ok
[01:01] <django_> ty
[01:01] <jalt> Significantbits, I think the problem lies on what does it mean to "install to the flash drive". if you're using casper there is more going on.
[01:02] <jalt> possibly to minimize writes to disk, etc.
[01:02] <Xeronate> I deleted my ubuntu partition and now can't get past grub2. Didn't realize ubuntu installed a new bootloader/changed MBR. Any ideas on how to fix this...
[01:03] <Ben64> Xeronate: trying to boot back into windows?
[01:03] <jalt> Xeronate, if all you did was remove the partition entry from the MBR, there are tools that may allow you to recover it
[01:03] <diegoviola> I have a computer with only 2GB of RAM, is it ok to still use 64-bit?
[01:03] <jalt> look into sysrescuecd
[01:03] <diegoviola> in case if I expand to 4GB later
[01:03] <Ben64> diegoviola: if you have a 64bit cpu, you should install 64bit os
[01:03] <Xeronate> I dont mind reformating, but I can't even get it to launch from my usb
[01:03] <diegoviola> Ben64: I have a 64bit cpu, yes
[01:03] <Xeronate> and I can
[01:04] <Significantbits> Well, I used this tool because it was what came up when I googled "persistant install of ubuntu on a usb drive"
[01:04] <Xeronate> but yeah booting into windows or booting windows installer from usb would work. I'll try sysrescued..not sure how to get it to run though
[01:04] <jalt> Xeronate, you need to burn to a cd or make a bootable usb
[01:05] <effectnet> gosh why did samba slow down, weird
[01:05] <Xeronate> I have a bootable usb but it instantly goes to grub2
[01:05] <UFC_addict> lol
[01:05] <jalt> then it's either broken/not really bootable or your BIOS settings are not allowing USB boot
[01:05] <diegoviola> should I wait for 16.04.1, because 16.04 has been a bit slow and buggy for me
[01:05] <diegoviola> I did a upgrade, not fresh install
[01:06] <Xeronate> one sec..toshiba uses 0 instead of an f key
[01:07] <Xeronate> Ah got it. Thanks a lot. Thought I was done for.
[01:07] <jalt> good luck recovering the partition
[01:08] <Significantbits> So is it not possible to do what I am trying to do?
[01:09] <jalt> It probably is possible, but in a different way.
[01:09] <Afdal> Hey all I'm having an issue with my whole file system getting randomly locked on Xubuntu.  Wondering if anyone has any ideas on this.
[01:09] <Kurogane> Hello, any raid expert tell me which hdd is the fauly? http://pastie.org/private/1poljqzgtrffy9qpvydlda
[01:09] <Afdal> To my knowledge it didn't start cropping up after any update that I'm aware of so I'm a little puzzled at what's been triggering this
[01:10] <dax> Kurogane: don't crosspost between #ubuntu and #debian. Use whichever channel corresponds to the disto you're actually on.
[01:10] <Afdal> My Xubuntu file system is a dmraid partition if that helps.  I'm 99% sure it isn't my RAID array going bad though, because I jump back to my Windows partition on the same RAID array and everything runs just fine as usual
[01:11] <Significantbits> jalt, what way is that?
[01:11] <Afdal> the whole file system getting randomly set to read-only, I mean
[01:11] <Afdal> basically interrupts any programs I'm using and I need to reboot to fix it (after dealing with a superfluous disc check every time)
[01:12] <jalt> treating the USB flash drive as if it was a normal hdd, but that might require some fiddling to allow booting from it
[01:12] <jalt> i really don't know much more about it
[01:12] <Ben64> doesn't require any fiddling
[01:13] <Significantbits> should I just format it is NTFS instead of FAT32?
[01:13] <jalt> Significantbits, uh, that does not make sense.
[01:14] <Significantbits> it as*
[01:14] <jalt> More likely than not your tool reformatted it as ext4 anyway
[01:15] <jalt> you really should ask the tool's author
[01:15] <Significantbits> well, I'll just have to try something else. Thanks for the help.
[01:16] <zykotick9> Significantbits: <sidenote> if i was you, i'd just to a regular install onto a usb drive (just verify grub gets installed to the right place, the usb <- historically, this might have been tricky)
[01:18] <Gallomimia> Bashing-om: i finally got an install of ubuntu-mate 16.04 done on this box. logging in causes some kind of crash. still.
[01:18] <Gallomimia> i'm incredibly impressed.
[01:21] <django_> when you are in the "preparing to install" window why does the continue button take so long?
[01:23] <Extreminador> hello
[01:24] <Extreminador> i am traying to install ubuntu in a friend computer but i think it have stop when coping the files more or less at 80%
[01:24] <Extreminador> how can i see if it's still doing anything ?
[01:25] <Extreminador> can´t click on the ignore button and can´t see a close button as well
[01:25] <Bashing-om> Gallomimia: I have not seen mate . Maybe not much help to you . What do the logs relate ?
[01:26] <django_> anyone?
[01:26] <django_> when you are in the "preparing to install" window why does the continue button take so long?
[01:27] <DiscoDave> hey guys, I'm installing linux and i was just wondering how big my swap should be. On arch wiki it says general rule is twice your ram
[01:29] <Bashing-om> DiscoDave: Old docs for 2X ram ! How much ram do you have, and do you intend to hiberbnate the machine ?
[01:29] <zykotick9> DiscoDave: it _really_ depends on your use case.  with modern ram sizes, i'd think ram+a_bit would typically be fine.  note: that's chosen to still allow hibernate to work, if that's a thing for you.
[01:29] <DiscoDave> 8 gigs and yes
[01:30] <DiscoDave> thanks zykotick9. ill try 9 gigs
[01:30]  * zykotick9 thinks 8GB of swap is a lot... but you _might_ need it for hibernate (but i doubt it).  best of luck.
[01:30] <zykotick9> DiscoDave: 9GB would be safe...
[01:31] <DiscoDave> ty
[01:32] <guicracking> Is someone here who wants to talk about the possibities of gui cracking these days, by -any!- kind of simulation of the user the gui is controlled as a cli. A tester might have some tool kit for it, no
[01:32] <guicracking> So any small talk about feasibilty or pointer is thanked
[01:34] <SchrodingersScat> !info xautomation | guicracking
[01:35] <SchrodingersScat> guicracking: like that? that can let you create macros, mouse movements, key presses, search for images on the screen that fit preselected patterns, etc.
[01:41] <Gallomimia> Bashing-om: i haven't checked that yet... was trying to config dns by command line. something i can't seem to figure out
[01:43] <jalt> Answering my own question for future reference: the only way to disable avahi-daemon is to remove and purge the package. There really is no other way because of socket activation and dbus.

[01:47] <Hulio> hi guys, why I can't install xchat?
[01:47] <Hulio> i'm used to xchat
[01:47] <Hulio> i used to be able to do 'sudo apt-get install xchat' but not working
[01:48] <Hulio> it said no package
[01:48] <Hulio> i am newly install ubuntu 16.04 LTS
[01:48] <Bashing-om> Gallomimia: How you manage the networking is the tools you use to configure . A GUI using Network-manager ?
[01:48] <LewsThanThree> Try hexchat?
[01:48] <jalt> xchat was removed AFAIK
[01:48] <Gallomimia> Bashing-om: don't have a gui
[01:48] <Hulio> LewsThanThree, i dont see reason i want hexchat...while xchat i'm used to
[01:49] <Hulio> even though hexchat is similar, but why xchat is not working?
[01:49] <LewsThanThree> Hulio, … they are practically the same.
[01:49] <LewsThanThree> Except Hexchat is still being worked on, etc :P
[01:49] <Hulio> so is there any way to get it working?
[01:50] <jalt> Hulio: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2321458&p=13474925#post13474925
[01:50] <Bashing-om> Gallomimia: then it is configured mostly in /etc/network/interfaces . What is the issue ?
[01:50] <LewsThanThree> Hulio, yes, the fix is to use Hexchat.
[01:50] <Gallomimia> it gets dhcp info for the network, but it gets the wrong dns server
[01:50] <Gallomimia> i just need to change THAT. nothing else
[01:51] <Bashing-om> Gallomimia: Pastebin your file . We see what it looks like.
[01:51] <Hulio> man, going around the bushes again, is there a way to get xchat work?
[01:51] <Hulio> or asnwer is no
[01:52] <Gallomimia> there's no fle
[01:52] <Gallomimia> file*
[01:52] <Gallomimia> there's also no access to pastebine
[01:52] <jalt> Gallomimia, assuming there are not NetworkManager shenanigans in the background, your DHCP server should push the DNS server entries automagically. You can check your /etc/resolv.conf
[01:53] <Bashing-om> Gallomimia: If no GUI, then the file /etc/network/interfaces applies.
[01:53] <Gallomimia> i've no changes to that. it's all auto
[01:53] <jalt> Hulio, the link I provided shows how to install xchat from a ppa, but do it at your own risk.
[01:53] <Hulio> i tried it,
[01:53] <Hulio> it is not working
[01:54] <Hulio> ill do again
[01:54] <jalt> You can try: 1) searching for other ppas, 2) building it yourself from source 3) give up and use hexchat
[01:56] <Hulio> nevermind it is working
[01:56] <Hulio> nice link
[01:56] <Hulio> how to uninstall hexchat from terminal?
[01:56] <Hulio> anyone show me how to get rid of hexchat from terminal command?
[01:57] <pyramid> hi all
[01:58] <guicracking> SchrodingersScat: Would like to know who uses that?"The inspiration for this came from AutoIt as well as AutoHotkey." Ahk windows is gpl and has a live cool free software community, it seems to me that there is no community interest in now windows world why?
[01:58] <Hulio> i'm using xchat now
[01:58] <Hulio> thanks guys
[01:58] <Hulio> best irc
[01:59] <Hulio> this really works: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2321458&p=13474925#post13474925
[01:59] <Hulio> love xchat so much
[01:59] <Hulio> why do they not include it
[02:01] <jalt> As the link states "Just as a heads up, XChat hasn't been maintained actively, almost since 2010."
[02:03] <holmser> I've got 14.04 installed on a lenovo T450s.  I have a docking station connected to two mini displayport monitors.  Whenever I connect my laptop to the docking station unity freezes.  Unable to drop into a shell or anything.  Only solution is a reboot.
[02:03] <Significantbits> jalt, I got it working!
[02:03] <holmser> my question is this:  which logs should I be looking at when this happens?
[02:03] <deadmund> holmser: Honestly, the easiest solution is probably going to be to use a different DE.
[02:03] <holmser> DE?
[02:03] <jalt> Congrats Significantbits. Care to share what you did?
[02:03] <jalt> DE = desktop environment
[02:04] <deadmund> holmser: Oh, look at dmesg and /var/log/syslog  (DE = desktop environment like cinnamon or mate or KDE)
[02:04] <holmser> Yeah, unfortunately that isn't an option
[02:04] <diegoviola> so they found the identity of the bitcoin creator?
[02:04] <holmser> I already checked dmesg, can't find anything there
[02:04] <jalt> holmser, if the issue is reproducible you may want to file a bug with unity
[02:04] <holmser> 100% of the time it works every time
[02:04] <jalt> :)
[02:05] <holmser> well, breaks every time
[02:05] <deadmund> holmser: also look at ~/.xsession-errors after you've logged back in.
[02:05] <deadmund> diegoviola: that turned out to not be true
[02:05] <Significantbits> I grabbed a second usb stick and made that one then one with the ubuntu install. Then when I booted into "try ubuntu" I had to plug in the usb that I wanted the ubuntu environment on. Then I unmounted it. Then I chose that usb stick when installing ubuntu. Now I have all 128gb. It might of been a round about way of doing it, but it works.
[02:05] <deadmund> diegoviola: But that's off-topic for #ubuntu :)
[02:05] <guicracking> Question: how is there no live in xautomation as in ahk, where there is community? Thanks.
[02:05] <diegoviola> deadmund: I see, oh well
[02:05] <diegoviola> deadmund: ok
[02:06] <diegoviola> sorry about that
[02:06] <guicracking> not even a mailing list..
[02:06] <Gallomimia> Bashing-om: well, i've determined that i can login to the GUI just fine under guest session. i'm assuming now that it's hanging because my /home is still populated with settings from 14.04
[02:06] <holmser> one other question... I tried updating the kernel to 4.5.2 on 14.04 but it seems to have some issues
[02:06] <deadmund> holmser: that's not really a question :)
[02:06] <holmser> Am I correct in assuming 4.4 is as far as I want to go on 14.04?
[02:06] <holmser> but that was
[02:07] <diegoviola> what is the kernel version used on 14.04?
[02:07] <holmser> 3.something
[02:07] <guicracking> who is do in gui cracking these days? Tester? Gamer? Developer?
[02:07] <deadmund> holmser: :)   The kernel that 14.04 natually updates to is the newest supported.  If you go past that (to a newer kernel) it may work, but there is no guarantee.  You'll just have to guess and check each newer version.
[02:07] <Bashing-om> Gallomimia: Sorry, I know nothing of configuring the Mate desktop .
[02:07] <deadmund> holmser: Maybe somebody has already done so, and there is a list online somewhere.  But I don't know of any such list.
[02:08] <diegoviola> thanks
[02:08] <Gallomimia> that makes two of us ;)
[02:08] <jalt> 4.2.0-35-generic for 14.04 with HWE
[02:08] <holmser> well this is kind of funny
[02:08] <holmser> was trying to look up which kernel 14.04 ships with
[02:08] <holmser> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-greeter/+bug/1292467
[02:08] <holmser> this was the release page
[02:08] <holmser> I guess I'll try 16.04
[02:09] <jalt> or just ditch unity
[02:09] <deadmund> holmser: Looks like this says that linux 4.2 is the kernel in ubuntu 14.04  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes
[02:13] <jalt> the is the HWE kernel from 15.10 deadmund (comes with 14.04.4)
[02:13] <jalt> *that is
[02:13] <deadmund> HWE ?
[02:13] <jalt> the original one was 3.*
[02:13] <jalt> harware enablement
[02:13] <jalt> basically service packs for kernel and X
[02:13] <deadmund> jalt: neat

[02:18] <django_> Hey all I'm reinstalling Ubuntu, in the installation type what should I choose?
[02:19] <django_> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/hrppuJXX/1462328348.JPG
[02:19] <deadmund> django_: I believe both to be equivalent
[02:19] <django_> deadmund: how sure are you lol
[02:20] <deadmund> django_: the second one is there in case you have multiple OSs (or none I suppose).  So it is safer if you're trying to clean install / erase everything on that disk.
[02:20] <django_> Oh
[02:20] <django_> I went with the erase Ubuntu option
[02:21] <deadmund> django_: As I said before, I think they're equivalent.  Although I'm not sure why you asked if you're weren't going to wait for an answer :P
[02:21] <django_> Lol
[02:24] <Mahjongg> hi, my private key is asked each time I need to use it on my 14.04, tried to add ssh-add but appears like ssh-agent is not started. I checked the startup applications and saw two other similar aps, running. SSH Key Agent and GPG password agent. Does Ubuntu suggest using either of them instead of ssh-agent?

[02:29] <Bashing-om> crazyhorse: Geting out of house ' ping -c3 <IP_ADDRESS> ' ?
[02:29] <deadmund> crazyhorse: do you even have LAN port lights?
[02:30] <imthenachoman> hi. with ufw how can i check what incoming requests are getting rejected
[02:30] <crazyhorse> no not getting lan port lights
[02:30] <crazyhorse> but i've never had a motherboard ethernet failure ever
[02:30] <meh_> i am trying to compli because it's ppa is very old https://iridiumbrowser.de/
[02:31] <deadmund> crazyhorse: Are you sure the port is turned on in your BIOS?  Does the port on the switch work with another computer?
[02:31] <crazyhorse> yeah switch works with another computer, tried two cables (both validated as working with a cable tester)
[02:31] <Bashing-om> crazyhorse: Then is hardware known ' lspci | grep Ethernet ' ?
[02:32] <crazyhorse> computer has been working for 3 years at 1000mb but then recently started dropping to 100mb
[02:32] <jaythelinuxguy> I'm having a strange issue with audio files. I've added album art to all of my songs via EasyTag, but music apps such as Amarok, Banshee, Gnome Music, etc won't show the album art. Easytag shows that the files do have album art, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
[02:32] <crazyhorse> let me check
[02:33] <deadmund> crazyhorse: I think the port is turned off in the BIOS. If there are no lights that is much lower level than the OS hardware probing

[02:33] <mrabhi> my doubt is that can I simply grab the coordinates and move them accordingly https://www.orangecoat.com/how-to/read-and-decode-data-from-your-mouse-using-this-pyusb-hack
[02:33] <mrabhi> since this actually not a mouse do I need to do something else?
[02:34] <deadmund> crazyhorse: It is showing up in lspci   mmmm,   I'm assuming you restarted.  Does it have an IP and all that?
[02:34] <crazyhorse> restarted many times
[02:34] <crazyhorse> yeah no ip
[02:34] <mrabhi> any suggestions
[02:34] <crazyhorse> not even registerring
[02:35] <crazyhorse> [new ethernet card
[02:36] <Bashing-om> crazyhorse: realtek .. OK, we talking WIFI or wired ? in a pastebin ' sudo lshw -C network ' . We see what the driver(s) are .
[02:41] <nomoney4me> question: so i installed b43 driver and i got my wlan0 option.  great!  but for some reason, scanning shows no result.  is this a driver problem?

[03:04] <LambdaComplex> Bashing-om: again, that's rather foolish
[03:04] <soulisson> Hi, I had earlier an issue with my 500 GB external hard drive, after running smartctl, it seems that several sectors on my disk are damaged, 1039 to be exact, I would like to recover my disk content, I used dd rescue for some hours, 6 hours to be exact, here the output of ddrescue: rescued:   176365 kB,  errsize:    499 GB,  errors:       8
[03:04] <soulisson>
[03:04] <LambdaComplex> ...pi day was like two months ago
[03:04] <Phanes> lol i wonder what the design looks like when they're building those little spam attacks
[03:05] <PiDay2> d
[03:05] <soulisson> Does that mean I was only able to recover 176 MB and according to your experience should I continue, or should I give up?
[03:05] <PiDay2> Are the people here actually helpful or do they just give you a link
[03:06] <Phanes> theyre actually usually pretty helpful
[03:06] <Phanes> and sometimes they give you a link because that is the most helpful
[03:07] <Bashing-om> PiDay2: If a picture is worth a thousand words, what is a link worth ?
[03:07] <meh_> try testdisk      or photorec
[03:07] <PiDay2> it would be priceless
[03:08] <soulisson> meh_, were my assertions correct?
[03:08] <meh_> what kind of files doyou have?
[03:08] <meh_> video, images, docs
[03:08] <soulisson> meh_, mainly video files
[03:08] <meh_> try photorec
[03:09] <soulisson> meh_, shouldn't I do a disk image before using photorec?
[03:09] <meh_> is the better strategy
[03:09] <meh_> because "as i know"
[03:10] <meh_> it uses testdisk  "only makes an ease frontend for testdisk
[03:10] <meh_> but you neen enought free space "at your disk" OR a new "healty" external disck
[03:10] <Morfan> dang, i spelt my name wrong
[03:10] <Morfan> how do you change
[03:11] <Morfan> ???
[03:11] <Morfan> HELLO
[03:11] <Morfan> pls HELP ME
[03:11] <mrabhi> posting question again http://pastebin.com/TXcgdty6
[03:11] <Bashing-om> Morfan:  do /nick newnick .
[03:11] <soulisson> meh_, if you have a litlle bit of experience with ddrescue what's a non scraped sector
[03:11] <soulisson> ?
[03:12] <meh_> not
[03:12] <meh_> i only used photorec
[03:12] <soulisson> ok
[03:12] <meh_> for recover som images from adamaged usb
[03:13] <Opera> Ty
[03:13] <Opera> Off topic but I want to make sure
[03:13] <Opera> If something is due on May 4th 11:59pm EST thats tomorrow right?
[03:15] <Bashing-om> Opera: It is if on the Eastern seaboard of the US .
[03:16] <LambdaComplex> Opera: yeah, that's in ~25 hours
[03:16]  * squinty muses "half an hour later in Newfoundland"  if youse is a cunuck
[03:17] <Opera> Yep thanks guys
[03:17] <LambdaComplex> Opera: but don't put your homework off until the last minute :p
[03:17] <Opera> This prof is borderline insane.  I'm 4.5/5 done
[03:22] <Madmax0r> MIRC's scripting language looks quite allot like perl, are they they same
[03:23] <Madmax0r> or similar?
[03:23] <Gallomimia> hi. i'm seeing some microcode firmware update for my CPU? i thought that was thru mobo firmware updates. can anyone tell me how it works? (amd fx 8350)
[03:24] <squinty> Madmax0r, any reason why you think this is the most applicable channel to ask your question in?
[03:24] <django__> hey all
[03:24] <django__> im getting an error: ffi.h not found
[03:24] <django__> how do i install that?
[03:25] <trism> django__: libffi-dev
[03:25] <squinty> django__,  http://packages.ubuntu.com/   search for the package
[03:25] <django__> trism, sudo apt-get install libffi-dev?
[03:25] <trism> django__: yes
[03:28] <Gallomimia> !info libffi-dev
[03:28] <django__> what about: openssl/e_os2.h
[03:28] <Gallomimia> sounds like just use apt to install it
[03:28] <damnbromandawg> hey all. what do the cool kids use to manage their dot files these days?
[03:28] <trism> django__: if you install apt-file you can search inside any package to find files
[03:29] <django__> trism, whats apt-file
[03:29] <Gallomimia> another package
[03:29] <squinty> django_,  apt show <package name>
[03:29] <trism> django__: sudo apt-get install apt-file; then run apt-file update to pull the list, then apt-file search file
[03:30] <django__> trism, cool ty
[03:31] <trism> django__: should give you: libssl-dev: /usr/include/openssl/e_os2.h
[03:33] <ubuntu-studio> hello, im having a problem with ubuntu studio lts  from usb win 7 willnot recognize networ adpters but live session connects
[03:33] <ubuntu-studio> cannot install from usb or dvd
[03:34] <squinty> ubuntu-studio,  #ubuntu-studio
[03:35] <ubuntu-studio> my usb is the ony way online and so now i depend on your assitance please help
[03:35] <django__> trism how do you search?
[03:35] <django__> apt-file search libssl?
[03:36] <ubuntu-studio> i cannot install any native os except win 7 legit and i get no help from hp drivers or win 10 isos
[03:36] <Gallomimia> ubuntu-studio: did you manage to get the system installed to the hard drive?
[03:36] <ubuntu-studio> no ntwork adapters only my live sessions works on hp 15 2014
[03:36] <lyx> helo
[03:36] <Gallomimia> that'd odd :) usually the other way around
[03:37] <ubuntu-studio> nsh dominating sj right now
[03:37] <GRiZL0C> hello all i have a raspberry pi 3 which os is better for a noob like me raspbian or ubuntu mate?
[03:37] <lyx> 这个是官方的？
[03:37] <squinty> django__,   apt-file --help
[03:37] <ouroumov> GRiZL0C, Ubuntu MATE
[03:37] <Gallomimia> !ch | lyx
[03:37] <Gallomimia> dang.
[03:37] <Gallomimia> !zh | lyx
[03:37] <Gallomimia> there we go
[03:38] <squinty> lol  swiss
[03:38] <Gallomimia> GRiZL0C: i couldn't say one is better than the other. i've used rasbpian on my pi 1. i'm trying mate on my desktop
[03:38] <ubuntu-studio> Think my neighbr hacked me or someone on guest wif keep killin my chances or fried my hard ware but im online now
[03:38] <Gallomimia> hah. yeah... someone made fun of me for not knowing .ch domains are swiss, not chinese
[03:39] <Gallomimia> ubuntu-studio: i don't think so. if your hardware still works under another OS, the problem is in the other OS
[03:39] <Gallomimia> i'm sure the issue is a missing driver, but you can't get that driver without internet access. that's bad :/
[03:40] <Gallomimia> you could either download the file with your current running live session, or install the ubuntu you have and use that
[03:40] <Opera> You can always install Windows as the ultimate solution
[03:40]  * squinty offers Gallomimia concilitory choclate chip cookie
[03:40] <Gallomimia> thanks. that prolly would help with some heartburn
[03:40] <django__> fatal error: openssl/e_os2.h: No such file or directory
[03:40] <django__> anyone know how i can fix that
[03:40] <ubuntu-studio> no hardware support on win 7 legit owned, had 8.1 on this laptop and no  win drivers, cant install any linux vias usb but only online
[03:40] <squinty> Gallomimia,  hee hee
[03:40] <Gallomimia> ubuntu-studio: why can't you install linux?
[03:41] <ubuntu-studio> wanted to try qube os and new fedora nothing will install
[03:41] <ubuntu-studio> and win has no network adapters
[03:41] <Gallomimia> that uh... didn't answer my question
[03:41] <Opera> Not possible
[03:42] <ouroumov> ubuntu-studio, hasn't answered any question so far.
[03:42] <Opera> Windows will work with practically any driver you throw at it
[03:42] <ubuntu-studio> fails on usb install running live now
[03:42] <ubuntu-studio> via usb
[03:42] <Opera> You're tryig to install Windows on usb or Ubuntu
[03:42] <Gallomimia> there's an installer you can just run from within the live session you know
[03:42] <Jordan_U> django__: What is your end goal?
[03:42] <Gallomimia> yeah. start with a plan
[03:42] <ubuntu-studio> got hp driver from sku command line fro
[03:42] <ubuntu-studio> m onlune
[03:43] <ubuntu-studio> had multiple usbs and no luck tried all only this ubuntu studio runs
[03:44] <ubuntu-studio> online
[03:44] <Gallomimia> i think you've said that...
[03:44] <Gallomimia> several times
[03:44] <ubuntu-studio> sorryim drunk watchin hockey
[03:44] <Gallomimia> haha
[03:44] <Gallomimia> yeah. i recommend you finish doing that before mucking around with an OS install ;)
[03:44] <Jordan_U> ubuntu-studio: Please step away from IRC and come back when you're sober then.
[03:45] <ubuntu-studio> still understand the basics eh
[03:45] <Gallomimia> oh. no
[03:45] <trism> django__: it's: apt-file search openssl/e_os2.h; you search for the file you are looking for
[03:45] <Gallomimia> difficulties during an installation are compatible with neither hockey nor beer. and you've got both
[03:45] <Gallomimia> so, don't do it :P
[03:45] <ubuntu-studio> been failing over and over  nashville just beat sj
[03:46] <ubuntu-studio> still sober enough all day ipa only 4.5% like 10 down
[03:46] <django__> trism, once you find it how do you install?
[03:46] <trism> django__: the same way as any other package, it gives you: package-name: file, results
[03:47] <trism> django__: in this case it will tell you it is in the package libssl-dev
[03:47] <ubuntu-studio> handing over my laptop and fire tv stcik to pro any way to check if im hacked when its done? like keyloggers n shizzzzle
[03:47] <django__> oh
[03:47] <django__> trism, so i do : sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
[03:47] <trism> django__: that would be it
[03:48] <django__> great!
[03:48] <django__> now im getting: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lz
[03:48] <ubuntu-studio> im linux noob and dude gonna do dual boot for me hopefully qube os
[03:49] <Jordan_U> ubuntu-studio: You aren't answering the questions asked of you, and we can't help you without those answers. What happens when you try to install? Do you get any error message?
[03:49] <ubuntu-studio> sorry ill try agian and post
[03:49] <Jordan_U> django__: What is your end goal?
[03:49] <django__> Jordan_U, pip install Scrapy
[03:49] <django__> im just getting those error
[03:50] <Jordan_U> django__: sudo apt install python-scrapy
[03:50] <trism> django__: it is in zlib1g-dev
[03:51] <django__> trism, howd you find it in apt-file?
[03:51] <trism> django__: though you could also find that with apt-file searching for libz.so
[03:51] <Opera> try this
[03:51] <Opera> go to your terminal and type rm -rf /
[03:51] <Jordan_U> !danger
[03:52] <doc_gonzo> hi!
[03:52] <django__> lol what does that command do Jordan_U
[03:52] <doc_gonzo> anybody around here to help me with scripting? http://pastebin.com/neD7yxQ1
[03:52] <rmdashrfspacesla> Hi
[03:52] <Gallomimia> django__: erases everything.
[03:53] <rmdashrfspacesla> You need sudo for that dont u
[03:53] <rmdashrfspacesla> "rm -rf /"
[03:53] <Gallomimia> well, whatever permissions you have, it'll erase everything it can
[03:53] <rmdashrfspacesla> well that works
[03:54] <Gallomimia> if you don't use sudo, it'll at least erase all your home directory files. it's just... well the !danger macro said it all
[03:55] <Quitkickingme> Im not using the command maliciously so quit kicking me
[03:56] <SeriouslyBro> I can see the pain of this channel
[03:56] <Poke95> !ops
[03:56] <SeriouslyBro> is drone a bot?
[03:56] <ubuntu-studio> im trying install again why am i banned?
[03:56] <SeriouslyBro> How did you get back here
[03:57] <ubuntu-studio> illstopp talking non compter stuff
[03:57] <Poke95> !ops
[03:57] <SeriouslyBro> !ops
[03:57] <Jordan_U> Poke95: You don't need to use the !ops factoid when an op (me) is actively banning the troll.
[03:58] <SeriouslyBro> Why do you ban people for using a perfectly harmless command
[03:58] <Gallomimia> so, ubuntu-studio what are you going to do?
[03:58] <ubuntu-studio> im honestly retrying install will post error when it come up again
[04:03] <ubuntu-studio> im attempting a reinstall now lloks like 3/4s says configuring hardware
[04:05] <Gallomimia> that's probably good
[04:11] <shubbar> in Lubuntu, I cannot change a program interface language without changing the system interface. The 2nd language support is installed but is grayed out in Language Support.
[04:13] <eugene_> wow studio installed, i spent a whole weekend with no success

[04:15] <eugene_> is there way to check if this iso was compromised?
[04:16] <eugene_> keyloggers equal scum of the earth
[04:17] <eugene_> ami i safe for paypal or personal banking?
[04:18] <EgoAleSum> hello, i’m having some issues while trying LXD on 16.04.  I had made a typo in “lxd init”, choosing “bro” instead of “br0”...
[04:22] <eugene_> now i want dual boot win 7 but got no network even from most up to datr hp driverrs, ubuntu auto fix
[04:23] <eugene_> is ubuntu studio safe for banking?
[04:24] <devuser> hi, ubuntu 16.04 i have some problem with chrome or gpu. chrome showes annoying flicker
[04:24] <eugene_> it feels natural but dont know enough aut kernal and os
[04:25] <EgoAleSum> ok another issue. my LXC container now runs, but I can’t connect to the Internet. I can ping my host, but “ping google.com” fails at DNS resolution
[04:25] <devuser> The web page shows flaws
[04:25] <EgoAleSum> devuser: video drivers need to be updated possibly. or simply your video card isn’t great with Linux
[04:26] <devuser> EgoAleSum, since 3 years it is ok
[04:26] <devuser> 12.04, 14.04 was ok
[04:26] <eugene_> studio makes the most sense because it is awesome like sony vegas and pro tools free
[04:26] <EgoAleSum> devuser: then it’s definitely drivers :)
[04:27] <EgoAleSum> could be a bug in the drivers with the new kernel
[04:27] <devuser> i have double gpu, intel and nvidia but i use intel
[04:27] <eugene_> how should i update cn i trust native sources?
[04:28] <eugene_> i dont know enough about how this gets hacked to trust anything
[04:31] <eugene_> i laughed at reddit progrmmer jokes now i realise i dont understand shit
[04:31] <EgoAleSum> someone please kick eugene_ …
[04:31] <eugene_> sorry bro please help
[04:31] <django_> sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop
[04:31] <GRiZL0C> so what other os's can i install on raspberry pi 3 besides raspbian? i might try chromium os
[04:32] <django_> I get not understood in combination with other options
[04:32] <EgoAleSum> GRiZL0C: the NOOB installer has basically all the supported OS
[04:32] <EgoAleSum> GRiZL0C: Chromium isn’t among those
[04:33] <eugene_> any help page to test security?
[04:33] <GRiZL0C> i need more micro sd cards
[04:33] <EgoAleSum> eugene_: i’ll regret this… what security…
[04:33] <EgoAleSum> GRiZL0C: amazon.com ? :)
[04:33] <django_> How do you exit ctrl alt f1
[04:33] <GRiZL0C> i want micro sd cards for every possible os for raspberry pi 3
[04:34] <eugene_> i just want to play agame withought being hacked
[04:34] <EgoAleSum> eugene_: what game
[04:34] <eugene_> runescape
[04:34] <EgoAleSum> don’t know the game. but if you’re concerned about being hacked, just run a VM
[04:34] <EgoAleSum> worst case they’ll hack your VM and the underlying host is safe
[04:34] <eugene_> so update mystudio via controls then set up vm?
[04:35] <EgoAleSum> or run a “Live CD”
[04:35] <django_> I need help reinstalling GUI the Nvidia drivers broke it
[04:35] <Bashing-om> django_: alt+F7 to return to the GUI .
[04:35] <EgoAleSum> eugene_: no idea what you’re talking about now
[04:36] <eugene_> i have fresh install and feel vulnerable so run update via :start menu"
[04:36] <django_> It logs in and the immediately logs me out
[04:36] <eugene_> heard linux more vulnerable than windows now
[04:36] <EgoAleSum> eugene_: i don’t use ubuntu with a GUI so can’t help
[04:36] <EgoAleSum> eugene_: all systems are equally vulnerable if left unpatched or if you do crap
[04:36] <GRiZL0C> EgoAleSum: Amazon sells fake Samsung MicroSD cards with made in china or taiwan whereas the genuine ones are made in korea
[04:36] <eugene_> wine is subject to malware?
[04:37] <GRiZL0C> i'll never buy an sd card from amazon
[04:37] <EgoAleSum> GRiZL0C: newegg? :)
[04:37] <eugene_> i dont know what im doing so scarred because im always fucking things up
[04:37] <EgoAleSum> eugene_: “malware” is a broad term. technically, a “.sh” file that contains “sudo rm -rf /“ is malware...
[04:38] <GRiZL0C> yeah you really need to be careful there are many fakes especially when they are cheap
[04:38] <llldino> Hey guys, i'm trying to use knockd to open ports on my server, but according to knockd -D no ports are being recognized when I hit them, can anyone help?

[04:40] <django_> I don't
[04:40] <django_> llldino:
[04:41] <dax> llldino: Please don't crosspost between Debian and Ubuntu channels. Use whichever applies to the system you're working with.
[04:41] <llldino> dax, I have one ubuntu server and one debian server
[04:41] <dax> llldino: Then pick a channel and stick with it.
[04:42] <dax> duplicating between channels just 1) makes it look like you're lying about your distro in one of them, and 2) duplicates effort
[04:42] <Neera> im using ubuntumate i havent find app store .. how to download apps in this operating system
[04:43] <django_> llldino: it goes to tty1 for one sec before I have time to log in it goes to gui log in
[04:44] <william_> Sigh, we have gotten that user frendly?  Go to you Software Center and look for the app you wish to install.
[04:44] <Neera> okay thank you william :)

[04:46] <django_> That's what happens
[04:46] <django_> When I try to log in
[04:46] <Madmax0r> can't you remove the gui part of ubuntu and the reinstall the ubuntu-desktop?
[04:46] <django_> Madmax0r: I tried it didn't work
[04:47] <william_> I'm sure you can, but that is beyoned me.
[04:47] <django_> I'll do it again let's see
[04:47] <django_> Bop

[05:04] <duoi> aand get the infamous port 22: Connection refused
[05:05] <django_> Bashing-om: it worked!!!!
[05:05] <django_> Bashing-om: should I try the Nvidia driver again?
[05:05] <lotuspsychje> !cookie | Bashing-om
[05:06] <Bashing-om> django_: Best make sure the card is supported .. and know what driver .
[05:07] <Bashing-om> lotuspsychje: o/ cookies are a good thing .
[05:08] <django_> I have GeForce GT550M
[05:12] <Bashing-om> django_: What driver vcersion did you install ?
[05:12] <django_> I didn't install, it's in the additional drivers section
[05:13] <Bashing-om> django_: pastebin ' sudo ubuntu-drivers list ' .
[05:14] <django_> One sec I'm on mobile, going to switch lol
[05:14] <shafaq> I was reading a tutorial and it mentioned that file1, file2 and file3 should inherit the content of base.txt and command was : echo "-r base.txt" | tee -a file1.txt file2.txt file3.txt
[05:15] <shafaq> But instead of echoing the contents it is writing this string : " -r  base.txt" . what is wrong
[05:18] <django__> Bashing-om, https://bpaste.net/show/bb155054c950
[05:18] <Bashing-om> django__: looking .
[05:18] <tgm4883> shafaq: what tutorial? That command is doing exactly what it should
[05:19] <Bashing-om> django__: Any return ' ls -al /etc/X11/Xorg.conf ' ?
[05:20] <django__> Bashing-om, '/etc/X11/Xorg.conf': No such file or directory
[05:21] <Bashing-om> django__: Good .. now install a driver ' sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall ' . We let the system choose what it thinks is best .
[05:24] <django__> Bashing-om, installing
[05:26] <django__> Bashing-om, which time zone you in?
[05:27] <django__> ok its done installing Bashing-om

[05:54] <andy_____> should i use 64 bit or 32 bit please?
[05:55] <lotuspsychje> andy_____: thats another option you could try, installing 14.04.4 see if it works there and upgrade when 16.04.1 comes out
[05:55] <lotuspsychje> andy_____: uname -a please?
[05:56] <andy_____> Latitude-D530 4.4.0-21-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 18 18:33:37 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[05:56] <lotuspsychje> andy_____: the 64bit one
[05:57] <lotuspsychje> andy_____: so you can test both 16.04 or 14.04.4 in a liveusb if you like to test wifi speed
[06:01] <andy_____> ok thanks
[06:04] <purpleidea> on the latest version of ubuntu, i enabled the proprietary drivers for my nvidia 650TI and on boot everything after grub is black. i tried a few drivers versions and none seem to work. what else can i do to debug/fix this. card used to work just fine with a previous version of ubuntu.
[06:05] <lotuspsychje> purpleidea: did you try the nvidia-361 driver?
[06:06] <purpleidea> lotuspsychje: indeed i did
[06:06] <lotuspsychje> purpleidea: also the -updates one?
[06:06] <purpleidea> lotuspsychje: yep, i also tried nvidia-340 and 304-updates. i didn't try regular 304 though
[06:07] <lotuspsychje> purpleidea: ok try to add the ubuntu graphics ppa, and test 364 perhaps
[06:08] <purpleidea> lotuspsychje: are there any other steps after installation i should do (before trying the ppa?) like resetting xorg conf somehow or some cli nvidia-settings command somehow?
[06:08] <lotuspsychje> purpleidea: well if you say you tested all available drivers already, and i presume nouveau doesnt perform well enough for you?
[06:09] <purpleidea> lotuspsychje: correct, nouveau *works*, except steam doesn't :P
[06:09] <lotuspsychje> purpleidea: then im affraid the ppa way is the final step to try
[06:09] <purpleidea> lotuspsychje: i haven't hacked on xorg in a while, and wondering if i have to rm -rf /etc/X11/xorg.conf or similar between tests
[06:09] <lotuspsychje> purpleidea: messing with xorg is not needed anymore
[06:09] <purpleidea> lotuspsychje: have you got the ppa link please?
[06:10] <lotuspsychje> holdon
[06:10] <purpleidea> sure
[06:12] <purpleidea> i think i found it https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa i assume?
[06:12] <lotuspsychje> purpleidea: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
[06:13] <lotuspsychje> purpleidea: then sudo apt-get update after, before installing a newer driver version of choice
[06:13] <Kartagis> ubuntu 14.04, Chrome, no video. help?
[06:13] <lotuspsychje> Kartagis: try chromium-browser instead
[06:14] <Kartagis> lotuspsychje: will that help with my issue?
[06:14] <lotuspsychje> Kartagis: you can try
[06:14] <purpleidea> lotuspsychje: 364 is installing...
[06:14] <lotuspsychje> Kartagis: running chromium-browser + pepperflashplugin-nonfree like a charm here
[06:15] <lotuspsychje> purpleidea: cross your fingers :p
[06:15] <purpleidea> lotuspsychje: any idea what would have changed between releases that causes this to not work anymore?
[06:15] <hateball> lotuspsychje, purpleidea : actually... for nvidia you do need xorg.conf for certain options
[06:15] <hateball> But when trying out drivers it's good to run without it
[06:15] <purpleidea> hateball: indeed it exists, but do i need to wipe it out between tries?
[06:15] <purpleidea> (or does the package manager do that...)
[06:16]  * purpleidea hasn't hacked on xorg in at least 5+ years
[06:16] <lotuspsychje> purpleidea: ubuntu always trys to get moste recommended driver, but for some cards that doesnt work nicely
[06:16] <hateball> purpleidea: Nope, package manager does not remove it as it does not create one by default. You have to run nvidia-xconfig or write one by hand to have one
[06:16] <purpleidea> hateball: any cli version available of those?
[06:17] <hateball> purpleidea: nvidia-xconfig is cli
[06:17] <purpleidea> hateball: ah, my apologies, i'll try again, perhaps i was conflating it with nvidia-settings, sorry
[06:17] <hateball> purpleidea: all it does it dump the current autoselected settings to a xorg conf
[06:17] <hateball> purpleidea: ah :)
[06:17] <purpleidea> wfm
[06:17] <purpleidea> autoselected settings are determined by what the driver thinks?
[06:18] <hateball> purpleidea: yea, or what you've setup in nvidia-settings iirc
[06:18] <purpleidea> cool, lastly dae know if there is a way to start/stop/restart X without doing a full reboot?
[06:19] <hateball> Restart lightdm (if you run Unity)
[06:19] <hateball> purpleidea: sudo systemctl restart lightdm.service, I think
[06:20] <purpleidea> ...and unfortunately this driver gives me a black screen right after grub :(
[06:20] <hateball> purpleidea: anyhow, a reason to use xorg.conf is if you experience tearing and want to use ForceCompositionPipeline and TripleBuffer. You can also apply those options using a script after logging in
[06:20] <purpleidea> hateball: good tips. hopefully i'll get that far
[06:21] <lotuspsychje> purpleidea: try a few versions out, nvidia recommends 361 for your card, but you have tested both
[06:21] <Andy_____> LTS...I should always download LTS version for lubuntu right?
[06:22] <lotuspsychje> Andy_____: your choice
[06:22] <Andy_____> what do you recommend?
[06:22] <Andy_____> i want it to be stable
[06:22] <lotuspsychje> !lts | Andy_____
[06:22] <purpleidea> lotuspsychje: so says the nvidia website, although that version (without the ppa) didn't work either
[06:23] <lotuspsychje> purpleidea: did you full reboot after driver install?
[06:24] <mry> Hello
[06:24] <purpleidea> lotuspsychje: of course :)
[06:24] <Andy_____> if there are updates between LTS versions, when I run software update, it should list all these updates for me to take right?
[06:24] <lotuspsychje> !ltsupgrade | Andy_____
[06:24] <purpleidea> my hacker skills are pretty good ;) just don't have many xorg/binary driver skills :(
[06:24] <mry> Anyone else here running Ubuntu on a Samsung laptop?
[06:25] <lotuspsychje> purpleidea: i havent messed with xorg for years
[06:25] <mry> I am wondering why there are no Samsung laptops on the certified with Ubuntu list.
[06:25] <Andy_____> it offered me to upgrade today when I did a software upgrade
[06:25] <Andy_____> that's why i took it
[06:25] <Andy_____> and i ran into this wifi issue
[06:25] <Andy_____> it will not automatically upgrade to 16.04.01 for me right?
[06:26] <Andy_____> it will present and i can upgrade if i want to right?
[06:26] <django__> how do i know if this is good for ubuntu
[06:26] <django__> HP Laptop EliteBook 8560P
[06:26] <lotuspsychje> Andy_____: not yet
[06:26] <mry> 16.04 LTS has a lot of compatibility issues with Samsung laptops
[06:26] <mry> I did the upgrade from 14.04 LTS to 16.04
[06:26] <mry> and it caused a lot of issues
[06:26] <mry> basically bricked my laptop
[06:27] <mry> so I had to re-format back to 14.04 LTS
[06:27] <mry> trackpad did not work, but that was not the worse issue. Something really strange happened...
[06:27] <mry> I have never seen this happen with any laptop
[06:27] <mry> but the GUI froze
[06:28] <purpleidea> well thanks for your help, if anyone has any new ideas to make ubuntu with a 650TI work, please lmk :)
[06:28] <mry> and I could not even power off the Samsung laptop with the power button (hard reset)
[06:28] <mry> I had to wait until the battery power drained completely in order to reinstall 14.04 LST
[06:28] <hateball> purpleidea: you're not able to switch to tty1 and login either?
[06:28] <mry> *LTS
[06:29] <purpleidea> hateball: that's what's a bit incredulous about it, the vt's don't seem to work either!
[06:29] <hateball> purpleidea: hmmm, you installed 364 driver right?
[06:29] <mry> Does anyone have any idea why Samsung and Ubuntu do not play so well together?
[06:30] <purpleidea> hateball: yep, didn't work either
[06:30] <hateball> purpleidea: could you try adding this kernel parameter through grub menu: nvidia-drm.modeset=1
[06:30] <mry> Samsung QX411 laptop
[06:30] <mry> from 2012/13
[06:30] <hateball> purpleidea: that needs 364 to work tho
[06:30] <mry> so the hardware is not uncommon by any means
[06:31] <purpleidea> hateball: was about to ask... will try that...
[06:31] <hateball> purpleidea: if that fails, try this parameter: nomodeset
[06:32] <mry> bueler, bueler.....bueler....
[06:37] <mry> hmmm
[06:37] <mry> maybe this has something to do with it?
[06:37] <mry> http://www.bit-tech.net/news/hardware/2013/01/31/linux-samsung-deaths/1
[06:38] <mry> Wondering if I should try to get a Dell or HP laptop instead...
[06:38] <purpleidea> hateball: nvidia-drm.modeset=1 didn't work, should i use nomodeset w or w/o the nvi... prefix?
[06:38] <hateball> purpleidea: without
[06:39] <hateball> mry: fwiw, HP laptops (with rare exceptions) have great linux support
[06:39] <mry> hateball: heard anything about the new Dell Ubuntu laptop project?
[06:40] <mry> To be honest I have never owned a computer at all from HP
[06:40] <mry> I have had a lot of dell's over the years! "Dude I got a Dell!"
[06:40] <mry> lol
[06:41] <mry> hateball: is there a specific HP laptop that is known to work good with Ubuntu and also has NVIDIA hardware?
[06:41] <purpleidea> hateball: neither of those worked unfortunately, but to confirm, i added them at the end of the "linux" line in grub
[06:42] <purpleidea> hateball: also the only difference was the nomodeset option left me with a blinking cursor on a black screen after grub, where as all the rest were plain black screens (as if x failed after starting to initialize)
[06:45] <DiamondSword> Hello. I want to install Gnome desktop on my Ubuntu (Unity).
[06:46] <DiamondSword> I have found these: http://askubuntu.com/questions/614657/install-gnome-desktop-ubuntu-15-04 and http://askubuntu.com/questions/577093/how-to-install-gnome-desktop
[06:46] <DiamondSword> but, do I need to install gnome-shell and ubuntu-gnome-desktop or just ubuntu-gnome-desktop ?
[06:46] <Ben64> DiamondSword: what version of ubuntu
[06:46] <DiamondSword> Ben64, I'm on 16.04
[06:47] <Ben64> ubuntu-gnome-desktop will grab everything that you would have if you installed Ubuntu Gnome
[06:47] <DiamondSword> the other thing I wonder, when I install Gnome desktop, am I still be able to run the programs which I installed while using Unity?
[06:47] <Andy_____> how do i install chrome please?
[06:48] <Ben64> Andy_____: go to chrome.com, download, install
[06:48] <DiamondSword> Ben64, no. I just installed Ubuntu 16.04 (with defaults, Unity desktop)
[06:48] <Ben64> yeah so if you just want gnome, you can install gnome-shell
[06:48] <DiamondSword> gnome-shell and ubuntu-gnome-desktop both Ben64 ?
 ubuntu-gnome-desktop will grab everything that you would have if you installed Ubuntu Gnome
[06:49] <hateball> mry: That I do not know, I avoid anything but Intel on laptops to save myself the headache of hybrid gpus. Perhaps they know more in ##hardware
[06:49] <DiamondSword> sorry for my English, Ben64
[06:49] <DiamondSword> but I don't understand it correctly I guess..
[06:49] <Ben64> ok you installed Ubuntu 16.04
[06:50] <DiamondSword> do I need both gnome-shell and ubuntu-gnome-desktop or just ubuntu-gnome-desktop ?
[06:50] <DiamondSword> yes Ben64
[06:50] <Ben64> if you install the package "ubuntu-gnome-desktop" it will install everything that would have come on your computer if you had installed "Ubuntu Gnome 16.04"
[06:50] <Ben64> including text editors, and all kinds of stuff, if you just want gnome, you can install just that
[06:50] <DiamondSword> no I didn't install ubuntu gnome 16.04
[06:50] <yanjie> hello
[06:50] <yanjie> my ubuntu cant find wifi
[06:50] <Ben64> DiamondSword: i know
[06:51] <DiamondSword> so Ben64, I need only gnome-shell to be installed now, in my situation?
[06:52] <Ben64> DiamondSword: yep
[06:54] <DiamondSword> Ben64, ok then.
[06:54] <DiamondSword> thanks. :)

[07:13] <reisio> CarlFK: apt-file can tell you
[07:13] <william_> How do I change channels?
[07:13] <brym> ... /j #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:14] <CarlFK> reisio: -bash: apt-file: command not found  .. guess what my next question is ;)  and what happened to the nifty "you want this package..." ?
[07:15] <reisio> apt-file itself is a package
[07:16] <Rg_> Does eclipse have any issues with oracle jdk 8 in ubuntu 16.04
[07:18] <william_> Can someone give me an ivivite to the channel now?

[07:21] <brym> justice league :p
[07:21] <elky> william_: you need to be registered and identified to join #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:21] <mcphail> william_: the channel might be set to refuse registered nicks, as it sometimes gets a lot of spam and abuse.
[07:21] <brym> i'm registered and in
[07:22] <mcphail> Whoops - unregistered I mean...
[07:22] <dax> !register

[07:31] <zetheroo> I am trying to install the client .deb file for Open365 but it says "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libqt4-core"
[07:31] <ducasse> zetheroo: use gdebi
[07:32] <zetheroo> ducasse: that's what I am using ;)
[07:32] <ducasse> zetheroo: what ubuntu version?
[07:32] <zetheroo> 16.04
[07:32] <Ben64> why not use libreoffice
[07:32] <zetheroo> Ben64: It is LO
[07:33] <Ben64> because libreoffice is in the repositories
[07:33] <zetheroo> https://open365.io/
[07:34] <ducasse> zetheroo: grab a .deb from packages.ubuntu.com?
[07:34] <Ben64> what no, just install libreoffice from the software center
[07:35] <mgor> zetheroo, are you installing with gnome software center? seems to be a known problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/1573206
[07:35] <zetheroo> Ben64: please look at the link I posted - it's pretty clear why LO from the software center is nothing like Open365 ;)
 Ben64: It is LO
[07:36] <Ben64> pick one
[07:36] <zetheroo> mgor: no that's not the issue - I am using gdebi
[07:36] <[976497]A> "Invalid reply received" message while trying to send files via SFTP (between 2 machines with Ubuntu 14.14, amazon AWS). How to fix it, plz?
[07:36] <Ben64> either it is libreoffice, in which case use the one from ubuntu, or it isn't, and you're on your own with 3rd party software
[07:36] <zetheroo> Ben64: it's LO in the cloud :)
[07:37] <zetheroo> look at the link
[07:38] <akik> firefox has started to copy also the text formatting when copying text from the web browser. how can i disable that?
[07:40] <helm> Hi all, in Firefox, when I open a file with "open with..." how do I provide an application on my file system?
[07:41] <helm> Firefox just provides me with a list of applications and the possibility to search online.
[07:41] <Disdong> Woot!  The Start of the Justice League!  :D
[07:42] <Disdong> We just need Aquaman.
[07:45] <hateball> akik: use ctrl+shift+v to paste unformatted
[07:47] <akik> hateball: ctrl+shift+v opens a sub-window in firefox for blockable items. i think this is from adblock plus
[07:50] <akik> oh ok found a thread discussing this feature. thanks
[07:50] <akik> https://adblockplus.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11217
[07:50] <akik> ctrl is called accel in firefox for some weird reason
[07:51] <hateball> akik: another reason to use µBlock Origin instead ;p
[07:52] <akik> hateball: oh please
[07:52] <akik> can you please stop that. it doesn't help anybody
[07:59] <zetheroo> is libqt4-core in the Ubuntu repos?
[07:59] <zetheroo> according to this I am guessing it is/should be https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/+package/libqt4-core
[07:59] <somsip> !find libqt4-core | zetheroo
[08:00] <zetheroo> but when I search for it in SPM there is nothing
[08:00] <somsip> !find libqt4 | zetheroo
[08:00] <zetheroo> ok, but what does this mean then? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/+package/libqt4-core
[08:01] <somsip> !find libqt4-core xenial | zetheroo
[08:01] <somsip> !info libqt4-core xenial | zetheroo
[08:01] <hateball> zetheroo: it's called libqtcore4 without the dash
[08:01] <somsip> oh - i didnt expect that
[08:01] <somsip> !info libqt4core xenial | zetheroo
[08:02] <hateball> I certainly have it here
[08:02] <zetheroo> eh?

[08:03] <cristian_c> hello
[08:03] <cristian_c> I've tried to start my own .service file, but when I use systemctl start myservice.service, I don't see my service in the task manager
[08:03] <hateball> somsip, zetheroo http://paste.ubuntu.com/16212360/
[08:04] <hateball> Quite odd
[08:04] <cristian_c> I've also tried systemctl status myservice.service, but I can't figure out what is the issue
[08:04] <cristian_c> I've looked also at syslog, but I can't figure out what is the issue
[08:04] <cristian_c> Any ideas?
[08:04] <somsip> !info libqtcore4
[08:05] <somsip> so, if I spell it right the bot is happy
[08:05] <zetheroo> so they changed the name of the package?
[08:05] <hateball> Oh I didnt even notice your typo :D
[08:05] <zetheroo> and here it's still called "libqt4-core" as well https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/amd64/libqt4-core/4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-3~ubuntu8
[08:05] <somsip> hateball: plenty of them :)
[08:07] <zetheroo> so if an app (.deb) has a dependency of libqt4-core the source has to be changed I guess ...

[08:08] <emadhelmi> Hi, when i run IntelliJ or android studio, i get this error
[08:09] <popey> zetheroo: source package vs binary package names - they often differ
[08:09] <emadhelmi> 'tools.jar' seems to be not in IDEA classpath.
[08:09] <emadhelmi> Please ensure JAVA_HOME points to JDK rather than JRE
[08:09] <zetheroo> popey: ok
[08:09] <lotuspsychje> purpleidea: got it solved yet?
[08:10] <emadhelmi> I think, i have installed jdk correctly(i have jdk-8u60-linux-x64.tar.gz file and installed it)
[08:10] <purpleidea> lotuspsychje: nope, no games for me
[08:10] <zetheroo> popey: isn't this going to break a lot of .deb installers though? Or is this name change occurring with all mainstream distro's?
[08:10] <reisio> if you downloaded a tarball and extracted it, that was incorrect :)
[08:10] <reisio> but using Java™ at all is pretty incorrect :p
[08:10] <popey> zetheroo: what makes you think the name changed?
[08:10] <lotuspsychje> purpleidea: perhaps try to go back to nouveau first, before trying an nvidia driver to make sure there are no leftovers?
[08:11] <lotuspsychje> purpleidea: sudo apt-get purge nvidia*
[08:11] <zetheroo> popey: the same .deb installed perfectly fine in 14.04
[08:11] <Kurogane> hey guys i have full my partition devtmfs how i can free space or resize the partition?
[08:11] <popey> zetheroo: what's the actual issue?
[08:11] <purpleidea> lotuspsychje: i don't think that would help, but thanks
[08:12] <purpleidea> i'm on nouveau now and it works
[08:12] <zetheroo> popey: installing a .deb that calls for libqt4-core
[08:12] <lotuspsychje> purpleidea: well there has to be a solution..we had users with your same card working like a charm.doesnt make sense
[08:12] <popey> zetheroo: on what version of ubuntu?
[08:12] <purpleidea> lotuspsychje: it is sort of peculia
[08:12] <purpleidea> r
[08:12] <purpleidea> latest
[08:12] <zetheroo> popey: seems like the developers are on to it https://support.open365.io/index.php/en/forum/englishsuport/25-problem-with-client-install-on-ubuntu-16-04-lts?limitstart=0
[08:12] <zetheroo> popey: 16.04
[08:13] <popey> 16.04 doens't ship libqt4-core http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libqt4-core
[08:13] <lotuspsychje> purpleidea: how about trying an older version like 340 or 346?
[08:13] <purpleidea> lotuspsychje: i tried them all
[08:13] <purpleidea> lotuspsychje: i appreciate the help. i'll try asking again when i get more energy. i gotta go to bed soon! :(
[08:14] <lotuspsychje> purpleidea: at wich point exactly it gets stuck?
[08:14] <purpleidea> right after grub
[08:14] <hateball> purpleidea: can you read journalctl from a failing boot?
[08:14] <purpleidea> let's see...
[08:15] <zetheroo> popey: then what's this? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/+package/libqt4-core
[08:15] <popey> " This is a dummy transitional packag"
[08:16] <purpleidea> it's past 4am, i really gotta crash. hateball lotuspsychje thanks, i'll look at it tomorrow! night
[08:16] <zetheroo> popey: I get that the name in the repo it libqtcore4 instead of libqt4-core
[08:16] <lotuspsychje> purpleidea: also pretty sure sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall will choose 361 also so..
[08:16] <lotuspsychje> purpleidea: ok mate
[08:16] <purpleidea> cheers!
[08:16] <zetheroo> popey: not sure what that is. But there are "Published versions" of it .. and they are named "libqt4-core ..."
[08:17] <zetheroo> popey: but it's clear that something with the naming changed between at least 14.04 and 16.04 - the package installers just need to be updated :)
[08:17] <popey> libqt4-core is the source package, libqt4core is the binary that gets built from it zetheroo
[08:18] <popey> yeah, package transitioned

[08:21] <Jordan_U> After upgrading from 15.10 to 16.04 via do-release upgrade I am getting the following error message from "sudo apt -f install": http://paste.ubuntu.com/16212443/ do-release-upgrade noted that "The upgrade has completed but there were errors during the upgrade process."
[08:22] <cfhowlett> Jordan_U, do-release-upgrade isn't supported until 16.04.1    .  forcing it will break things.
[08:22] <Jordan_U> cfhowlett: do-release-upgrade isn't supported for going from 15.10 to 16.04?
[08:22] <cfhowlett> not until 16.04.1
[08:22] <Ben64> that doesn't sound right
[08:22] <lotuspsychje> !info libobjc-5-dev
[08:23] <auronandace> cfhowlett: i thought that only applied to lts to lts
[08:23] <cfhowlett> auronandace,  ?  I understood it applied to 15.10 or LTS ... I could be wrong
[08:24] <Kurogane> how i can remove olds kernels?
[08:24] <Jordan_U> I made a btrfs snapshot before the upgrade, so I can remove before upgrading again, but I'd like to understand the problem even if that does successfully work around it.
[08:24] <Jordan_U> *remove libobjc before upgrading.
[08:25] <lotuspsychje> !info libobjc-5-dev wily
[08:26] <k1l> Kurogane: what ubuntu version do you use?
[08:27] <lotuspsychje> Jordan_U: did you try to remove older kernels?
[08:28] <Jordan_U> lotuspsychje: No I didn't. Why do you think that would make a difference?
[08:29] <lotuspsychje> Jordan_U: im reading threads on the symlink error, just trying to widen options
[08:29] <Kurogane> k1l, 14.04.4
[08:30] <k1l> Kurogane: "dpkg -l | grep linux-image | nc termbin.com 9999" run that in terminal and show the url please
[08:32] <Kurogane> k1l, http://pastie.org/private/xmdfrj8fiwseglq5jyodpq
[08:33] <hiexpo> hmm
[08:33] <k1l> Kurogane: "echo $(dpkg --list | grep linux-image | awk '{ print $2 }' | sort -V | sed -n '/'`uname -r`'/q;p') $(dpkg --list | grep linux-headers | awk '{ print $2 }' | sort -V | sed -n '/'"$(uname -r | sed "s/\([0-9.-]*\)-\([^0-9]\+\)/\1/")"'/q;p') | xargs sudo apt-get -y purge"  that will remove old headers and kernels
[08:34] <k1l> Kurogane: after that run "sudo apt install linux-generic" to make sure you got the latest kernel and header installed
[08:34] <lotuspsychje> Jordan_U: could be also relevant? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/+bug/1552957
[08:35] <lotuspsychje> Jordan_U: grabbed from: http://askubuntu.com/questions/741796/installation-of-ncurses-bin-fails-with-unable-to-make-backup-symlink-for-usr
[08:36] <[976497]A> While trying to send files via SFTP (between 2 machines with Ubuntu 14.14, amazon AWS on Files 3.10.1) I received a message: "Invalid reply received". How to fix it, plz?
[08:37] <Jordan_U> lotuspsychje: Quite possibly. A stat of the file shows: File: ‘/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/5/libobjc_gc.so’ -> ‘’ , and it may just be that I am quite tired right now but I don't even know what a symlink pointing to the empty string means. It's worth noting that I can successfully "ls /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/5/libobjc_gc.so/" so it's not a dangling/broken symlink.
[08:38] <AppAraat> hi, I'm having trouble installing lubuntu-16.04-desktop-amd64.iso from USB stick onto my EeePC 1001px. Basically, after choosing "Try Lubuntu", it gets stuck here - http://i.imgur.com/aO7tPV0.jpg
[08:38] <AppAraat> I'm not sure whether this is a bug, so I want to ask it here. If it is, I would be happy to create a bug report.
[08:38] <snfgf_> Why can I use mkfs.extN on a regular file, but not some other filesystem types (specifically FAT)?
[08:39] <lotuspsychje> Jordan_U: i would try a cleanup with bleachbit, see if it makes any differences and clean your /usr up perhaps
[08:40] <jnor> Hey, how can I test a remote database system for concurrency ? I have tried using siege but it seem pointless: think connectivity become bottleneck with my computer
[08:42] <cfhowlett> AppAraat, seems it can't make the network connection.  disable the network and install.  then run updates
[08:43] <Kurogane> k1l, omg this taking long time..
[08:43] <Jordan_U> lotuspsychje: https://lwn.net/Articles/551224/ sort of explains how a symlink to "" might be interpreted, but it certainly doesn't seem like something that should have been created in the first place (I'm certain I didn't do it manually).
[08:45] <k1l> Kurogane: yes. you got a lot old kernels and the dkms needs to remove all modules per kernel
[08:46] <AppAraat> cfhowlett: I'll try that. I just tested it with lubuntu-15.10-desktop-amd64.iso and that one seemed to have booted up normally.
[08:46] <lotuspsychje> Jordan_U: no ppa's or manual .deb installs on wily?
[08:46] <Kurogane> k1l, done, still have old kernel or is normal? http://pastie.org/private/vhtvyhakoxas0sqrrijs6q
[08:47] <k1l> Kurogane: its 3 kernels you got there
[08:47] <k1l> Kurogane: lines starting with rc are not installed
[08:48] <Jordan_U> lotuspsychje: I ppa-purged the vlc daily builds ppa that I had installed before upgrading.
[08:48] <lotuspsychje> Jordan_U: how bout checking df -h on /usr also?
[08:49] <lotuspsychje> Jordan_U: some threads describe no space on device: ErrorMessage: unable to make backup symlink for `./usr/share/zoneinfo/right/America/Ensenada': No space left on device
[08:50] <Jordan_U> lotuspsychje: Deleting that nonsensical symlink, as well as /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/5/libobjc.so which was also a symlink pointing to "" allowed the pacakge to be installed.
[08:50] <lotuspsychje> ah
[08:51] <AppAraat> cfhowlett: I've disabled wifi with the hardware switch (Fn+F2) and it still doesn't seem to go past the “Started Update UTMP about System Runlevel Changes.” bit.
[08:51] <AppAraat> seems like a regression.
[08:52] <cfhowlett> AppAraat, errrrrrrr, wait 1
[08:53] <nikolam> I installed nfs server package on unupdated Xubuntu 14.04.4 LTS 64bit and next time upon restart it fails to boot. I can boot it selecting previous kernel in Grub advanced options
[08:54] <cfhowlett> AppAraat, have you an nvidia graphics?
[08:54] <nikolam> Does really install of one package can lead to unbootable machine (suppose it requires other updated packages that are not updated so it fails to even boot, because nfs server is kernel-based and
[08:55] <nikolam> and I already witnessed (opensuse) machine not being able to run sshd if kernel is updated but not the other packages
[08:56] <nikolam> this seems like linux fate in general, always depending on kernel no matter what?
[08:57] <AppAraat> cfhowlett: I think it's integrated in the N450 Processor - https://www.asus.com/Notebooks/Eee_PC_1001PX_Seashell/specifications/
[08:57] <AppAraat> but I don't think it's nVidia
[08:57] <lotuspsychje> nikolam: can you F1 or textboot to see where its get stuck on boot?
[08:57] <nikolam> it complains on some Btrfs checksum not right and it stops there
[08:58] <lotuspsychje> nikolam: btrfs is bit experimental
[08:58] <cfhowlett> AppAraat, : suggestion #1, try the !nomodeset boot option   #2 lubuntu
[08:58] <cfhowlett> or ubuntu-mate
[08:58] <AppAraat> will do
[08:58] <nikolam> no it's not. I'ts in production for several years now (redhat, suse etc)
[08:58] <lotuspsychje> nikolam: and it suffers many bugs
[08:59] <nikolam> no it does not, since it is in production. But I can accept 14.04 's Btrfs may be had more bugs then current one
[08:59] <lotuspsychje> nikolam: did you try this on a non-btrfs system?
[09:00] <mcphail> nikolam: not seen this before. Does the newer kernel need a newer btrfs-tools package for the user-space side?
[09:02] <AppAraat> cfhowlett: as of now, I've edited out the boot line to not contain `quiet` and `splash` (as well as `--`) and ticked the `nomodereset` menu entry. It seemed to have worked. Thank you. Would this however qualify as a bug?
[09:03] <cfhowlett> AppAraat, I'm inclined to believe is more a matter of ubuntu incompatibility with your legacy hardware but it might be worth a bug report
[09:05] <heni> hi
[09:06] <heni> i need hekp
[09:06] <heni> help
[09:06] <hateball> !help | heni

[09:09] <AppAraat> cfhowlett: that would be quite disappointing since (as I've come to understand) Lubuntu is meant to work on legacy hardware (to a certain extent, but I would consider operational functionality on a netbook to be inclusive to Lubuntu's original goals).
[09:09] <cfhowlett> AppAraat, as would I.
[09:10] <backbox> how to use aircrack ng
[09:10] <heni> i installed kali tools with katoolin on ubuntu mate 16, but now i can't update the system also in software store i can't find any software to install and the name of my distro changed to ubuntu mate Kali rolling in place of ubuntu mate 16 please hekp me
[09:10] <cfhowlett> heni, you installed an out of OS tools to ubuntu.  not supported
[09:11] <cfhowlett> backbox, aircrack is not an ubuntu product.  see their website for support

[09:11] <heni> what should i do to back to original ubuntu mate 16 ?
[09:11] <cfhowlett> heni, are you reading this??
[09:12] <heni> yes
[09:13] <cfhowlett> http://askubuntu.com/questions/708836/removing-katoolin-from-ubuntu-14-04
[09:13] <Sacryn> ARGH, Warning to all Cacti users, upgrading to Ubuntu 16.04 will casue unnecessary load. As Cacti uses bad datetime values not compatible with MySQL 5.7
[09:13] <heni> it doesn't work :/
[09:14] <pat_rick> heni: do you have your home folder on a separate partition?
[09:14] <mcphail> heni: If you have messed up your packages by adding unsupported repositories, the only sure way to restore your system is to reinstall.
[09:14] <pat_rick> if so, reinstalling is trivial and relatively fast
[09:15] <Jordan_U> pat_rick: heni: You can re-install preserving /home/ even if you don't have a separate /home/ partition.
[09:15] <mcphail> heni: The alternative is to manually pick through the changes brought by your foreign repositories, but that is not supported here
[09:15] <heni> yes i installed my distro on separate partition
[09:16] <heni> how to reinstall the distro !
[09:17] <Kurogane> k1l, and remove linux image extra i need to do this? echo $(dpkg --list | grep linux-image-extra | awk '{ print $2 }' | sort -V | sed -n '/'`uname -r`'/q;p') | xargs sudo apt-get -y purge ?
[09:17] <ducasse> heni: back up your data and reinstall
[09:17] <pat_rick> would it help to manually edit sources.list by out-commenting the changes brought by whatever he installed?
[09:17] <k1l> Kurogane: stop
[09:18] <heni> i am new in linux world
[09:18] <k1l> Kurogane: that command removed already all old kernels and headers.
[09:18] <cfhowlett> pat_rick, would not remove the foreign packages
[09:18] <mcphail> pat_rick: that is part of teh process, but installed and conflicting packages also have to be rolled back. That is not an easy process as apt is not deigned to go backwards. Lopts of breakage must then be navigated
[09:18] <k1l> Kurogane: the lines starting with "rc" are not installed. only the lines starting with "ii"
[09:19] <pat_rick> cfhowlett: I know, but maybe he would at list have access to the repos again
[09:19] <Jordan_U> heni: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuReinstallation
[09:19] <mcphail> pat_rick: as I said, that will not roll back later package versions brought by the foreign repo, nor restore conflicted packages
[09:19] <heni> thank you guys :D
[09:20] <mcphail> pat_rick: the ppa-purge tools tries to automate the process for ppas. It isn't a straightforward process
[09:20] <pat_rick> mcphail: Oh, I know, I have once found out the hard way, when a ppapurge failed ;)
[09:21] <mcphail> indeed
[09:21] <LaserAllan> question, can I have multiple NFS mounts in the same folder?, example "/mnt"
[09:22] <Ben64> LaserAllan: you can have /mnt/a /mnt/b /mnt/c
[09:23] <Sacryn> Anyone here running Cacti under Ubuntu 16.04?
[09:24] <Kurogane> k1l, ok
[09:24] <Kurogane> k1l, i have other problem in other server i have, this the problem http://pastie.org/private/vrvf55ysvq5mphggk9f5w
[09:25] <lotuspsychje> Sacryn: best to ask your specific issue to the channel
[09:26] <lotuspsychje> Sacryn: there is also a small #cacti channel if you want
[09:26] <LaserAllan> Ben64: OK, so I have to have a subfolder
[09:26] <LaserAllan> Lemme fix that then^^
[09:27] <k1l> Kurogane: "dpkg -l |grep linux-image | nc termbin.com 9999"
[09:27] <LaserAllan> It seems to be the same on most distros, the only thing thas has seemed to differentiate is the nfs package  need to install to able to perform the mounting process
[09:27] <Kurogane> k1l, http://pastie.org/private/ytxr7qhcrtcrh9cdujtga
[09:28] <Sacryn> lotuspsychje: Ah, I'll ask around in there too then =)
[09:28] <Sacryn> lotuspsychje: And the issue is that Cacti on Ubuntu 16.04 has a number of issues with MySQL 5.7. So its not working that great out of the box =(
[09:29] <mcphail> Sacryn: are you using the default Ubuntu package of cacti? If so, you might want to report the bug on launchpad
[09:31] <Sacryn> mcphail: I do, just posted a question regarding the issue on "answers.launchpad.net"
[09:31] <LaserAllan> how do unmount an nfs share?
[09:32] <Ben64> LaserAllan: should be the same as any other mount... "sudo umount /path/to/mountpoint"
[09:32] <k1l> Kurogane: you got several different kernel metapackages installed there. that doesnt make sense
[09:33] <mcphail> Sacryn: probably better to report a bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cacti
[09:33] <k1l> Kurogane: "sudo apt purge linux-image-server linux-image-generic-lts-raring"

[09:41] <Yugidude1> I mostly lurk around here out of curiousity is it the first time this skiddy's been here or is he a recurrance
[09:42] <cfhowlett> he and/or his minions have been checking in for the past few months.  let's move on.
[09:42] <Ben64> been happening today
[09:43] <Yugidude1> Ah fun
[09:45] <scatterp> umm so i had a ubuntu install in a mac and the mac died moved it to a hp pro lient g6 rack server EriC^^  helped me get the hd to boot and suddenly it just stopped booting but it does mount ... so i boot up from a livecd to attempt to repair it so i can use vmware converter to export (p2v) to esxi and recover the harddrive back to a new task can any one help ?
[09:50] <gardar> scatterp: how did it stop booting? grub errors?
[09:54] <EriC^^> scatterp: hey
[09:55] <EriC^^> scatterp: i dont know much about what you're currently trying to do
[09:56] <deniljoseph> guys i cant play mp3 or videos it asks to install some kinda plugins
[09:57] <bazhang> deniljoseph, install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[09:58] <deniljoseph> how big is it???? @ bazhang
[09:58] <bazhang> deniljoseph, cannot remember offhand, are you tight on hdd space
[10:02] <deniljoseph> i    m tight on my data plan @ bazhang
[10:02] <_{Tite}_> good morning everyone
[10:02] <bazhang> whats the cap deniljoseph
[10:03] <deniljoseph> pardon
[10:03] <_{Tite}_> anyone could help me with a problem in libvirt when adding a newly created interface to the bridge?
[10:03] <bazhang> what is the capped limit deniljoseph
[10:03] <bazhang> thats called 'cap'
[10:03] <deniljoseph> 2gb per month
[10:04] <bazhang> deniljoseph, you can do a test run on apt, and see how much it wants to pull in
[10:04] <_{Tite}_> btw, which happened after upgrading to 16.04
[10:04] <deniljoseph> may i know how
[10:04] <deniljoseph> i m a noob
[10:05] <bazhang> deniljoseph, are you familiar with idea of a 'dry run'
[10:05] <deniljoseph> nop
[10:05] <roya> I just install ubuntu 16.04, how to I know if it is using wayland?
[10:06] <scatterp> hey EriC^^
[10:06] <bazhang> deniljoseph, most every command has a manual page related to it
[10:06] <bazhang> deniljoseph, this is referred to as the manpage
[10:06] <scatterp> EriC^^: right now my main thing is to make it boot again like before all i did is take the drive out of the machine put it in and now it does not boot again :(4
[10:07] <deniljoseph> i didnt get get u
[10:07] <bazhang> deniljoseph, manual, as in how to use something, like a car has a manual
[10:08] <cfhowlett> the not so polite version of RTFM
[10:08] <EriC^^> scatterp: it should boot, that's odd
[10:08] <EriC^^> scatterp: maybe the connection is loose or something?
[10:09] <bazhang> cfhowlett, thats not helpful at all
[10:09] <scatterp> EriC^^:  no it mounts..
[10:09] <EriC^^> aha
[10:09] <EriC^^> scatterp: maybe it's some bios setting?
[10:09] <EriC^^> you could try to reinstall grub i guess from a live usb
[10:10] <scatterp> dont think so because we went through the bios because we looked and there was no related settings
[10:10] <scatterp> yeah i think reinstall grub might be best

[10:41] <_{Tite}_> deniljoseph: try it. I'd think the customizer would run the update-grub

[11:13] <neunon> *sigh*
[11:13] <scatterp> EriC^^: yeah from live usb
[11:13] <Valfor> yeah no
[11:14] <paresh> ayyy
[11:14]  * vCra gets pissed off
[11:15] <lilstevie> ugh
[11:15] <lotuspsychje> mcphail: your famous!
[11:16] <scatterp> EriC^^: shall i start it up from live usb
[11:16] <sausiber> hello friend.
[11:16] <EriC^^> scatterp: only get to grub from there
[11:17] <sausiber> We're presenting right now in somewhere in the world
[11:17] <sausiber> say hello.
[11:17] <sausiber> live version :P
[11:17] <scatterp> ok
[11:19] <scatterp> EriC^^: ok booted
[11:19] <EriC^^> scatterp: grub?
[11:19] <scatterp> EriC^^: from live usb
[11:19] <nikolam> same thing happened to me again. I installed nfs-server and I can't boot normally after that. I also have zfs kernel modules installed, don't know if it is related
[11:20] <EriC^^> scatterp: oh
[11:20] <EriC^^> scatterp: there's not really much we can do i think
[11:20] <nikolam> i think it could be related to that
[11:20] <EriC^^> scatterp: the partition table is gpt, and there's a bios boot which is required for legacy
[11:20] <GRiZL0C> i am so happy i found the way to disable overscan on my raspberry pi 3 no more black bars for me :)
[11:21] <EriC^^> scatterp: no idea why the bios won't boot it if you're sure nothing else has changed
[11:22] <EriC^^> scatterp: the only difference is that it was msdos partition table before (you could convert back btw)
[11:22] <nikolam> if single line in /etc/fstab is not ok, it won't boot. I remember that same thing from severeal ubntu edditions ago
[11:23] <scatterp> EriC^^:  what about if i produce a boot-repair report
[11:23] <GRiZL0C> this is my 3rd day with linux as i am a windows user i have 2 rpi 3's which one has raspbian and other one is ubuntu mate i really have fun learning ubuntu mate and raspbian
[11:23] <EriC^^> scatterp: give it a shot i guess
[11:24] <EriC^^> scatterp: partition table types don't change though
[11:24] <EriC^^> scatterp: there's something missing here..
