[00:00] <filifunk> also that my TCP/IP port address is already in use
[00:00] <Hydr0p0nX> ok
[00:00] <Hydr0p0nX> sudo service mysql stop
[00:00] <filifunk> http://paste.ubuntu.com/16161159/plain/
[00:00] <filifunk> ok, stopped
[00:01] <Hydr0p0nX> filifunk : sudo /usr/sbin/mysqld --skip-grant-tables --user=mysql &
[00:01] <Hydr0p0nX> filifunk: once that comes back, run ls /var/run/mysqld/ and make sure the .sock file is present
[00:03] <filifunk> i did the "sudo /usr..." command and after printing out some stuff it doesn't look like its doing anything
[00:04] <Hydr0p0nX> ok
[00:04] <Hydr0p0nX> just hit enter and you should get a command prompt back
[00:04] <filifunk> ok
[00:05] <Hydr0p0nX> ls /var/run/mysqld/
[00:05] <filifunk> ls: cannot access '/var/run/mysqld/': No such file or directory
[00:05] <Hydr0p0nX> ls /var/run/ ?
[00:05] <Geo_> hey all im getting a random error - WHen trying to run PronterFace in ubuntu.
[00:05] <Geo_> Connecting...
[00:05] <Geo_> [ERROR] Could not connect to /dev/ttyACM0 at baudrate 115200:
[00:05] <Geo_> Serial error: could not open port /dev/ttyACM0: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/dev/ttyACM0'
[00:06] <Geo_> How do i elevate Permissions
[00:06] <filifunk> Hydr0p0nx, i did ls /var/run/ and I don't see a .sock file
[00:06] <filifunk> oh I see a snapd.socket
[00:06] <Hydr0p0nX> see an mysqld directory ?
[00:07] <filifunk> no
[00:07] <Hydr0p0nX> ok, that's the problem
[00:07] <filifunk> boom
[00:08] <filifunk> should I have to make that folder and file?
[00:08] <filifunk> Or is that hidden somewhere else and I just have to paste it into that directory
[00:09] <Hydr0p0nX> no
[00:09] <Hydr0p0nX> just sudo mkdir /var/run/mysqld
[00:09] <theShirbiny> Geo_, sudo <command>
[00:09] <Hydr0p0nX> then stop the service and restart with the command I gave you
[00:09] <donofrio> so if sound does work when I type "aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav" how do I get it to go though pianobar
[00:09] <donofrio> casue pianobar just says "/|\ cannot open audio device"
[00:10] <kostasz> anyone know how to deal with the error "GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: Permision denied" ?
[00:11] <Hydr0p0nX> kostasz: see if this applies: http://askubuntu.com/questions/627356/xubuntu-15-04-cannot-suspend-when-inactive
[00:12] <kostasz> Hydr0p0nX: thank you, already tried, no luck
[00:12] <kostasz> but it's relevant to same error
[00:12] <Hydr0p0nX> filifunk: how's that working ?
[00:13] <maxi_> alguien habla español? necesito ayuda
[00:13] <Hydr0p0nX> kostasz: since it's login related, i'm assuming you rebooted after the change ?
[00:14] <terrasapien> put kubuntu 16.04 on a USB stick (checksums verified) and fired it up a while ago
[00:14] <filifunk> Hydr0p0nx, still get an error
[00:14] <maxi_> can you helpme plis?
[00:15] <filifunk> service failed because the control process exited with error code
[00:15] <filifunk> http://paste.ubuntu.com/16161252/
[00:15] <terrasapien> sadly all terminal prompts and otion boxes started throwing repeat 555555...
[00:15] <filifunk> that is from the journalctl -xe
[00:15] <terrasapien> this on a box which has run other OS for months with no trouble
[00:15] <kostasz> Hydr0p0nX: yes, I have rebooted after that
[00:15] <Hydr0p0nX> filifunk: We just need mysql logs at this point
[00:15] <maxi_> im install virtual dj in Ubuntu Mate, im is new in this SO
[00:15] <kostasz> I also tries this: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=180798
[00:16] <kostasz> rebooted and still no luck
[00:16] <terrasapien> anyone else had this happen?
[00:16] <effectnet> hi and welcome
[00:16] <effectnet> i am noob hear me roar
[00:16] <squinty> !spanish | maxi
[00:16] <chillpill_>  Translation failed
[00:16] <filifunk> http://paste.ubuntu.com/16161273/plain/
[00:17] <filifunk> I see the same errors right?
[00:17] <squinty> terrasapien, maybe a stuck keyboard button
[00:17] <Hydr0p0nX> filifunk: ps -ef |grep mysqld
[00:17] <terrasapien> squinty: except this box has never done that before or since
[00:18] <filifunk> http://paste.ubuntu.com/16161300/
[00:19] <terrasapien> anyway, I'll try it again a few times and see if this is consitent behavior
[00:19] <terrasapien> just thought it might have been some known issue
[00:20] <Hydr0p0nX> filifunk: sudo kill 10850 ; then run ps -ef |grep mysqld and make sure only the line w/ grep in it is listed, restart the same way again
[00:20] <squinty> terrasapien,  then  "maybe a intermittent stuck keyboard button"    not really sure what you are meaning about "never happened before or since"   stuck keyboard buttons are a common problem and one that may never repeat itself
[00:21] <Hydr0p0nX> kostasz: those are the two I found that would be related, I haven't had to deal with powersaving on mine, so i haven't dug in to much; maybe there's a group your user needs to be in ?
[00:21] <terrasapien> squinty: yes, it's possible, yet unlikely since I use this same keyboard heavily everyday
[00:21] <terrasapien> typing on it now
[00:22] <terrasapien> and have never seen this "5" key, or any other key stick
[00:22] <squinty> terrasapien, ok time to end this subject
[00:23] <filifunk> still errored
[00:23] <filifunk> http://paste.ubuntu.com/16161352/plain/
[00:23] <kostasz> Hydr0p0nX: well, in fact, it happens on Xubuntu if that matters
[00:23] <kostasz> but #ubuntu chat is more crowded
[00:24] <kostasz> and I doubt it is strongly connected with DE, but idk
[00:24] <HetroErectus> bah.. is it impossible to create a new partition on a 3 tb disk without having to wipe the entire disk with a new MBR-system?
[00:25] <kostasz> Hydr0p0nX: BTW, do you know a way to enable suspend if no user is logged in? I'm talking about a scenario in which someone has turned on a home PC and left a house and so the PC will suspend to save energy
[00:26] <kostasz> all auto-suspend config I know about  is user-related
[00:26] <squinty> HetroErectus,  http://gparted.sourceforge.net/display-doc.php?name=help-manual
[00:27] <Hydr0p0nX> kostasz: I'm not aware of any other than userlevel
[00:27] <Hydr0p0nX> filifunk: have you modified my.cnf at all?
[00:28] <squinty> HetroErectus,  and of course, the usual suggestions about backing up important files etc first applies
[00:28] <filifunk> Hydr0p0nx, yes, I have.  I can easily take that out
[00:28] <filifunk> I was just copying what I saw online in another person's solution
[00:29] <Hydr0p0nX> filifunk: yea, revert it to default, stop ay mysql processes, then bring it back up
[00:29] <kostasz> Hydr0p0nX: thank you for your time!
[00:30] <filifunk> Hydr0p0nx, well I didn't  get an error upon starting it
[00:31] <filifunk> but when I try to log on using mysql -u root I still have access denied
[00:31] <Hydr0p0nX> kostasz: Sorry I couldn't be more help, someone here has surely run into it though
[00:31] <Hydr0p0nX> filifunk: try running mysql -u root -p
[00:32] <filifunk> well now I'm back to my original problem, I used to log in without a password.  Now it seems to want a password which I did not create
[00:32] <kostasz> question to all: do you know a way to make ubuntu suspend even if no user is logged in?
[00:32] <Hydr0p0nX> ok
[00:32] <Hydr0p0nX> that's good at least
[00:33] <filifunk> yeah!
[00:33] <Hydr0p0nX> filifunk: this is a little older but should be similar https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MysqlPasswordReset ; just replace /etc/init.d calls with service
[00:34] <filifunk> Hydr0p0nX would you mind giving me a short summary of what we have done so far to get to this point?  We had to set up a folder and then get rid of a change I made to my.cnf
[00:34] <filifunk> was that basically it?
[00:35] <Hydr0p0nX> filifunk: that + install apparmor-utils and run aa-complain /usr/sbin/mysqld
[00:35] <wafflej0ck> Hydr0p0nX, filifunk actually I have a solution for running with the skip grants flags that just modifies the systemd .service scripts to use the skip grants flag when it's running mysqld
[00:35] <filifunk> Hydr0p0nx ahh yes that's right, thanks
[00:36] <wafflej0ck> filifunk, http://paste.ubuntu.com/16042824/
[00:36] <filifunk> wafflej0ck, ok, will try
[00:36] <wafflej0ck> filifunk, that was from a few days ago when someone was trying to do the mysqld skipping grant tables just lets you override part of the regular service script temporarily (would want to revert this after changing the password)
[00:38] <wafflej0ck> I just checked out the scripts systemd itself does in that pre script and it just does a few sanity checks to make sure you have a my.cnf file and a few other config things in place
[00:38] <filifunk> wafflej0ck, how do I save the file in the file that opens?
[00:39] <filifunk> or do I just exit
[00:39] <wafflej0ck> filifunk, it actually depends on your default editor, do you see ^O ^C and the like in the bottom of the screen?
[00:39] <wafflej0ck> filifunk, if you do it's using nano, then use Ctrl+O to write the file out then Ctrl+X to exit
[00:41] <filifunk> wafflej0ck, yes, ^O is write out and ^C is Cur Pos
[00:41] <wafflej0ck> filifunk, okay yeah the ^ means Ctrl
[00:41] <wafflej0ck> filifunk, so Ctrl+O to write then Ctrl+X to exit
[00:41] <filifunk> oh write out means save, got it
[00:41] <kostasz> yeah, nano is confusing at first
[00:44] <filifunk> HOLY CRAP I SEE MY DATABASES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[00:44] <wafflej0ck> yay!!!
[00:44] <wafflej0ck> good jerb Hydr0p0nX
[00:44] <Hydr0p0nX> *whew*
[00:44] <Hydr0p0nX> was running out of ideas
[00:44] <filifunk> Hydr0p0nX, wafflej0ck thank you the most!
[00:44] <Hydr0p0nX> lol
[00:44] <filifunk> LOL
[00:45] <kostasz> congrats
[00:45] <filifunk> how long have you guys or girls been working with linux?
[00:46] <filifunk> Hydr0p0nx and wafflej0ck
[00:46] <Hydr0p0nX> ummm, about 12yrs off and on
[00:46] <wafflej0ck> filifunk, ah long time but has been on and off until about 3 years ago then switched to using desktop linux for my web dev work
[00:46] <Hydr0p0nX> with 6 of those being in administration
[00:47] <treva> hi
[00:47] <B0g4r7_> First install 1998ish.
[00:47] <Hydr0p0nX> heya trench
[00:47] <Hydr0p0nX> err treva
[00:47] <filifunk> nice, yeah I imagine a lot of time haha.  I'm in the finance industry and just messing around with this because all the quantitative analysts use linux and python and mysql.  Trying not to feel left out haha.
[00:48] <Hydr0p0nX> my first install was mandriva maybe ?
[00:48] <Hydr0p0nX> or slackware 4.x
[00:48] <wafflej0ck> think mine was suse but ubuntu was soon after in terms of first installs
[00:49] <wafflej0ck> think it was about 10 years ago but I just tinkered with it on and off till more recently
[00:49] <ci3ho> hello
[00:49] <ci3ho> rsync keeps creating parent directories. does using --no-implied-dirs with -R cancel it out?
[00:49] <filifunk> I think my first linux distro was ubuntu's Hardy Heron.  But really havent' touched the stuff since karmic Koala
[00:50] <cfhowlett> guys: less chit chat, more ubuntu support please?  or use #ubuntu-offtopic
[00:50] <reisio> ci3ho: easily tested, no?
[00:50] <ci3ho> reisio: negative
[00:50] <reisio> ci3ho: child directories must have their parents, however
[00:50] <filifunk> cfhowlett, ah yes, sorry my first time on this IRC, still learning the rules
[00:50] <reisio> ci3ho: politely formed as a question: it is easily tested
[00:54] <ci3ho> reisio: im not your friend any more :(
[00:57] <reisio> ci3ho: :/
[01:00] <agronholm> hi, has anyone here ever succeeded on booting a Ubuntu installation in UEFI mode? I have not.
[01:01] <agronholm> *in
[01:01] <agronholm> it just drops me to grub, no explanations or errors
[01:01] <cfhowlett> agronholm, avoid " has anyone ..." questions.  huge waste of time.  state YOUR issues and YOUR specifications
[01:01] <recon_lap> agronholm: you mean booting from UEFI ? Sure.
[01:02] <agronholm> ok, what specifications would be necessary here? I have two servers, a HP Proliant gen9 server and a Lenovo ThinkServer (don't remember exact model)
[01:02] <agronholm> both will happily install ubuntu in UEFI mode but booting does not work
[01:02] <agronholm> I don't know how to debug this
[01:03] <recon_lap> agronholm: well, where does booting break/stop?
[01:03] <agronholm> recon_lap: as I said, it just gives me the grub prompt
[01:03] <agronholm> instead of booting the OS
[01:04] <agronholm> oh, I managed to catch something in a screenshot on the Lenovo server
[01:04] <agronholm> "error: failure reading sector 0x0 from `cd0'
[01:05] <agronholm> there was something else there for a split second but I didn't catch it
[01:06] <cfhowlett> agronholm, dual booting or ubuntu only?
[01:06] <agronholm> cfhowlett: ubuntu only
[01:06] <cfhowlett> http://askubuntu.com/questions/219563/cant-even-try-ubuntu-due-to-error-failure-reading-sector-0x5b500-from-hd1
[01:07] <agronholm> this person seems to have problems even booting the install media
[01:08] <cfhowlett> read further.  a solution is offered
[01:09] <agronholm> cfhowlett: I know how to install ubuntu in legacy bios mode
[01:09] <agronholm> I would just like to learn why it fails to boot with UEFI and to fix it
[01:10] <agronholm> but I am pretty clueless with grub's CLI so I can't use it to debug this problem
[01:14] <recon_lap1> agronholm: and I take it you can boot from a USB/CD ?
[01:15] <agronholm> recon_lap1: well, I did install the OS from a USB stick (on the HP server) and from a virtual cdrom drive (on the Lenovo server)
[01:15] <agronholm> both would complete the installation in UEFI mode
[01:15] <agronholm> but the installed OS won't boot; it just drops me to the grub prompt
[01:16] <dave0x6d> Hmm, so I'm trying to update my instance, but it's just getting stuck at 0%.
[01:16] <snapsnail> Hello
[01:16] <Emrederseniz> hi there, i have question; how can i give internet high access to any program (dota)?
[01:16] <dave0x6d> 0% [Connecting to us-east-1.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com (<IP_ADDRESS>)]
[01:16] <recon_lap1> agronholm: and have you looked at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing
[01:17] <agronholm> recon_lap1: what in particular are you referring to there?
[01:18] <squinty> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Troubleshooting
[01:18] <dave0x6d> Oops, it was because I firewalled it =p
[01:20] <recon_lap1> agronholm: well, we still far from knowing what is actually failing. working through one of the guides might narrow it down. making a wild guess I'm thinking grub is not finding you OS root drive.
[01:20] <agronholm> recon_lap1: sounds like a sensible guess
[01:21] <agronholm> I'm trying to figure out how to make grub list available devices
[01:22] <recon_lap1> agronholm: that grub trouble shooting guide linked by squinty seems like a good place to start. I'm pretty much a UEFI noob only having recently had to set one up.
[01:22] <reisio> Emrederseniz: hrmm?
[01:22] <squinty> agronholm,  might want to consider Boot-Repair as an initial option.  no guarentees but worth a shot imho...
[01:23] <Emrederseniz> reisio : how can use that command
[01:23] <agronholm> squinty: ok I'll look into it
[01:23] <reisio> Emrederseniz: ...what command?
[01:23] <Emrederseniz> reisio, what is the hrmm, sory im new on ubuntu
[01:24] <recon_lap1> agronholm: and a tip, make a backup of the UEFI partition after you get it working. :)
[01:24] <B0g4r7_> Emrederseniz, we do not understand what you are trying to accomplish.
[01:25] <Emrederseniz> B0g4r7_, i want, give highway access permission to any program
[01:25] <Rhorse> remember you can boot any kernel from a grub command line, be it a grub boot disk or other medium....
[01:26] <B0g4r7_> highway access permission huh.
[01:26] <B0g4r7_> I run dota 2 on linux, and I didn't have to do anything special to play online.
[01:26] <Emrederseniz> B0g4r7_, i have package loss and ping momently
[01:27] <agronholm> recon_lap1: ok it seems like "root" is set to "(hd1,gpt1)" but that's the EFI partition, no /boot there
[01:27] <agronholm> recon_lap1: I don't even know where /boot is supposed to be in a UEFI setup
[01:27] <B0g4r7_> Emrederseniz, that sounds like a network issue.  I don't think changing a setting in your software is likely to fix it.
[01:28] <Emrederseniz> B0g4r7_, no not about my network i know that
[01:29] <agronholm> recon_lap1: if you could verify the location of /boot, that would help a lot
[01:30] <agronholm> actually I should've tried one of the md devices but they too give me the same error
[01:31] <agronholm> I have root on software raid-1)
[01:32] <agronholm> I was under the impression that grub is supposed to support xfs
[01:32] <agronholm> (at least I got it to boot in legacy bios mode with an xfs root disk)
[01:38] <agronholm> ok it appears the root cause could be that grub does not support XFS
[01:39] <agronholm> I'll try to reinstall with ext4 and see if anything changes
[01:41] <cfhowlett> agronholm, I understood that grub should now support xfs
[01:41] <agronholm> cfhowlett: then how do you explain that grub gives me those errors?
[01:42] <agronholm> it can only read the EFI partitions (fat16)
[01:42] <agronholm> but none of my xfs partitions
[01:42] <cfhowlett> I have no raid or xfs experience  - merely commenting on XFS recent inclusion in ubuntu
[01:42] <cfhowlett> but if you do not *need* xfs, then ext4 should work out of the box
[01:43] <agronholm> I was under that impression too (given that root on xfs works in legacy bios mode on the HP server)
[01:43] <cfhowlett> suggestion: ask #ubuntu-server
[01:43] <agronholm> ok
[01:51] <asd30> hiya
[01:51] <B0g4r7_> I had xfs as my rootfs on lvm on raid-1, and grub had no problems.
[01:52] <B0g4r7_> Once I converted the rootlv to the "lvmcache" type, then grub did have a problem, and I had to break /boot off onto its own lv.
[01:52] <asd30> when trying to backup my vps (kvm), should i include the swapfile? if not, lets say i have to restore from backup on a bare install and i forget to create the swapfile -- will ubuntu still boot in?
[01:56] <coffeeguy> hi i was wondering why my connection manager says wiredconnection1 instead of wiredconnection?
[01:56] <B0g4r7_> Wow, windows xp installs and runs inside of virtualbox a lot better than it ever did for me on bare metal.
[01:57] <yourname3> coffeeguy: have you had 2 wired connections since it was powered on?
[01:57] <coffeeguy> no
[01:57] <Tuxfuk> haw many dewices are in ifconfig -a?
[01:58] <coffeeguy> lemme look
[01:58] <coffeeguy> hmm just en4s0 and lo
[01:58] <coffeeguy> enp4s0*
[01:59] <Tuxfuk> odd
[01:59] <B0g4r7_> I hate this new network device name convention.
[01:59] <Tuxfuk> can you rename the network1 to network0 or network?
[01:59] <Tuxfuk> oh it starts with1?
[01:59] <coffeeguy> i noticed it after i tried to install firewall configuration in software center and the install was very buggy
[01:59] <Tuxfuk> that's terrible. that makes you think there is two things
[02:00] <B0g4r7_> I want my eth0 back gurdernnit.
[02:00] <coffeeguy> lol yah
[02:00] <Tuxfuk> lol i have enp10s0
[02:00] <coffeeguy> ??
[02:00] <Tuxfuk> as my ethernet name
[02:00] <coffeeguy> i mean there's tty1 and then tty7 which is called old
[02:00] <coffeeguy> aah kk
[02:00] <Tuxfuk> yeah i've never liked that either
[02:01] <coffeeguy> well ok as long as that's normal i'm good
[02:02] <coffeeguy> thanks for responding Tuxfuk :D
[02:02] <coffeeguy> i mean to my question :)
[02:03] <Tuxfuk> yeah no problem. sorry it's stupid
[02:04] <coffeeguy> i'm a little worried since i tried to get a print out page for my printer config by holding down the wps button and found out later i was connected to someone else lol wps on my home wifi is disabled
[02:10] <logicalor> hello.  i have installed ubuntu server 16.04, and have installed MariaDB from the MariaDB repositories ie, added the repo via apt-add-repository, then updated / installed.  Now if I run apt-get dist-upgrade, ubuntu wants to replace MariaDB with Mysql.  Any idea how to prevent Ubuntu doing this?
[02:10] <PCF> hello?
[02:12] <PCF> I am looking for help with ubuntu server
[02:13] <cfhowlett> !server | PCF
[02:15] <OrbitSnow> 1846 people online? Jeez.
[02:15] <PCF> I am trying to configure an unpriviliged LXC container, but it will not start. I get an error saying it does not have permission to access /home/username and fails
[02:16] <OrbitSnow> Have you tried using chmod or chown to fix the permissions?
[02:16] <OrbitSnow> http://www.unixref.com/guides/chmod-guide.php
[02:19] <OrbitSnow> So is mir incompatible with Nvidia cards? I've tried with official drivers and with nouveau and I always get a black screen and back to lightdm.
[02:22] <lwizardl> hello
[02:23] <Rhorse> logicalor: Upgrade, then reinstall MariaDB.
[02:24] <lwizardl> in ALSA Mixer the sound card options are "HDA ATI SB (Alsa Mixer)" and "HDA ATI HDMI (Alsa Mixer)" which looks like it is trying to use the audio from my gpu and not the onboard audio. Is there a guide to fix that ?
[02:24] <Sorikan> Can anyone point me to a walk through of how to install VNC on ubuntu desktop that autstarts? I have tried three different walkthroughs, and x2go and none of them work. And the @*#&$^ ubuntu 'software' app only has a vnc client!
[02:25] <OrbitSnow> Try vinagre
[02:26] <OrbitSnow> sudo apt-get install vinagre
[02:27] <Sorikan> That seems to be a client? Or is it both?
[02:27] <OrbitSnow> Wait, that's only a client as well. RealVNC has a server app.
[02:27] <reisio> the "clients" like vinagre are actually... frontends

[02:27] <logicalor> Rhorse, if I upgrade, and MariaDB is replaced, is there any possibility that Ubuntu will, for whatever reason, prevent me from installing MariaDB over the 'new' MySQL installation?
[02:27] <OrbitSnow> https://www.realvnc.com/products/vnc/documentation/5.0/installing-removing/debian
[02:27] <reisio> basically all the vnc packages come with both a client and server
[02:28] <reisio> Sorikan: what I use is tigervnc's X.org module
[02:28] <reisio> it's very simple & straightforward, you just add a short bit to xorg.conf.d
[02:29] <agronholm> cfhowlett: follow-up: booting worked fine once I used ext4 for the root partition and not xfs
[02:30] <OrbitSnow> f2fs is the only thing I would use over ext4, and that's only on an ssd
[02:30] <OrbitSnow> from what i've seen ext4 is faster than everything but f2fs
[02:31] <agronholm> from what benchmarks I've seen, it's not
[02:31] <agronholm> depends on the load though
[02:31] <Sorikan> I just have a hard time understanding how, in 2016, ubuntu does not have a simple vnc server for remote support and such. It simply boggles me.
[02:31] <OrbitSnow> Really? What benchmarks are those? I'd like to see that.
[02:31] <agronholm> OrbitSnow: benchmarks I've seen on phoronix.com
[02:32] <reisio> Sorikan: hrmm? It comes with one, you enable it via a checkbox in system prefs
[02:32] <OrbitSnow> On SSDs?
[02:32] <agronholm> OrbitSnow: I'm not sure
[02:32] <squinty> Sorikan,  it does   use apt or aptitude to search for it
[02:32] <agronholm> Sorikan: for remote support though, I prefer teamviewer over vnc
[02:33] <squinty> nomachine
[02:33] <PCF> I broke my file permissions =\

[02:37] <Immatix> Anyone here using dnsmasq on 16.04?
[02:38] <Immatix> I'm having a bit of a problem with systemd starting dnsmasq before network.target is reached http://paste.ubuntu.com/16162484/
[02:39] <Immatix> /lib/systemd/system/dnsmasq.service contains Requires=network.target under the [Unit] section
[02:39] <dax> Immatix: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dnsmasq/+bug/1531184 , workaround is in second comment
[02:39] <prelude2004c> hey guys.. need some help
[02:40] <prelude2004c> ERROR: libfdk_aac not found
[02:40] <prelude2004c>  .... i installed the libfdk_aac_dev package
[02:40] <prelude2004c> what gives ? .. i get that error when i try to compile ffmpeg
[02:41] <Immatix> dax: Ah, so there is a bug for it. Wasn't able to find that with the right Googling, guess I should've looked it up specifically under the dnsmasq package
[02:41] <dax> Immatix: yep. there's a couple of others on the buglist that might be the same issue, but i'm not sure (doesn't help that the output's in french on them...)
[02:41] <Sorikan> CAn anyone tell me where this remote support option is? I cannto find it under System Settings - was it removed?
[02:42] <PCF> i did 'chmod -R 744' on my home directory and now LXC cannot access it at all
[02:44] <PCF> chmod -R 777 is bad right?
[02:44] <Immatix> dax: I think it might have been missed because it likely only affects people that are using the bind-interfaces option in dnsmasq, by default it just listens on all interfaces
[02:44] <Immatix> Interestingly, I have to use bind-interfaces otherwise dnsmasq won't respond to queries on my VLAN interfaces, which all have the same link-local address
[02:50] <Werewolf> Hello. I am experiencing dependency hell when attempting to finish a distribution ugprade.
[02:50] <Immatix> I suppose I'd better reboot to make sure the fix works

[02:51] <BENTLERyB> Hi folks.
[02:51] <TheFocus> monring all.  any ideas on how to fix samba share after 16.04 install???  Is there a common fix or more ifo needed?
[02:52] <BENTLERyB> I've got the new Ubuntu 16.04 LTS but since the installation I've had certain instances of screen tearing.
[02:52] <Werewolf> I welcome PMs, I really need assistance.
[02:52] <BENTLERyB> I don't do any gaming. The tearing happens when I'm browsing the web.
[02:52] <BENTLERyB> Certain text becomes blurred/teared.
[02:53] <BENTLERyB> I haven't noticed it since I changed my window Manager from Marcos with Software Compositor to Marcos with GPU Compisitor
[02:53] <BENTLERyB> but I only made that change 15 mins ago.
[02:53] <BENTLERyB> Could that help?
[02:53] <dax> yes
[02:54] <Poke95> .
[02:54] <BENTLERyB> Why would it help? What do you think is to blame for the tearing I experienced?
[02:54] <Poke95> Oh I am voiced now
[02:54] <Poke95> Oh sorry wrong channel
[02:54] <dax> BENTLERyB: because doing the same thing fixed screen tearing on my craptop
[02:54] <dax> can't argue with results
[02:54] <BENTLERyB> Interesting.
[02:55] <BENTLERyB> I don't have a dedicated GPU, just integrated Intel graphics, so I wasn't sure if that would put more strain on my CPU.
[02:57] <Guest52524> hello world!
[02:57] <Immatix> Seems to have worked
[02:57] <Guest52524> got some problems after the upgrade from 15 to 16 today... please help
[02:57] <Guest52524> for instance amule does not start

[03:14] <atlasthe> hii
[03:14] <TheMarius> wazzapppppp
[03:14] <atlasthe> nutin
[03:14] <atlasthe> the chat just seems dead
[03:14] <TheMarius> im not dead atleast not yet
[03:15] <TheMarius> im sitting here tinkering with my new ubuntu mate 16.04
[03:16] <atlasthe> im new to linux, but i know some sudo commands in the termina
[03:16] <atlasthe> like sudo apt
[03:16] <atlasthe> sudo get
[03:16] <TheMarius> good boy... thats a start
[03:16] <TheMarius> hopefully we wont have to do much of that though
[03:16] <TheMarius> i just want a system that runs problem free
[03:17] <TheMarius> without sudoing and autoremoving too much
[03:17] <TheMarius> ubuntu mate is a good shot at it
[03:17] <TheMarius> theres some bugs though
[03:17] <TheMarius> not severe stuff
[03:17] <TheMarius> best system ive installed for a long time... beats windows
[03:17] <effectnet> nice
[03:18] <TheMarius> opensuse was sweet though.. im not sure yet if this beats it when its set up.. this was easier to set up though
[03:19] <tgm4883> Is there a question in there? This chat is for support questions
[03:19] <TheMarius> if they just manage to kick out the bugs, im in love
[03:19] <TheMarius> idk.. im just here hanging out
[03:19] <wafflejock> TheMarius, for non support issues use #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:19] <TheMarius> ok
[03:20] <L0uk3> Has anyone been able to get 16:9 aspect ratios with 16.04 and VMware Fusion? Installed VM-Tools --> no 16:9 aspect ratios like in Trusty.
[03:28] <B0g4r7_> where ubuntu is the guest and os x is the host?  idk, maybe ask vmware inc about that one.
[03:29] <B0g4r7_> I think I'm going with virtualbox in this host instead of installing vmware.
[03:29] <brianx> maybe a different virtual video card.
[03:36] <L0uk3> thanks
[03:37] <L0uk3> Yes correct. OS X is the host and ubuntu is the guest.
[03:42] <wasutton3> so I'm on the hunt for a patch file that was made to a package sometime in 2010. where would I go looking for it?
[03:42] <wasutton3> its econvert-typo.diff applied to the package exact-image
[03:48] <johnzorn> So what is the difference between the netinstall and the minimal install isos?
[03:50] <johnzorn> Is it correct to say that I should download the net install if I want full control over what I want installed?
[03:51] <wasutton3> johnzorn, no, the net installs download the needed install files off the internet while installing (i.e. the latest versions)
[03:51] <wasutton3> the minimal install contains just enough to get you online to the point where you can apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
[03:53] <johnzorn> wasutton3: ok so net install installs the same full ubuntu then? Is there a minimal install somewhere for 16.04? I only see 15.10
[03:54] <wasutton3> johnzorn, no idea. im hunting for old commits
[03:55] <B0g4r7_> Is there a project underway to make a better ubuntu installer?
[03:56] <B0g4r7_> The existing one(s) leave a lot to be desired IMO.
[03:57] <B0g4r7_> When I worked in software dev, "installers" was a project that perpetually got handed off to the new guy whenever we got one.
[03:57] <wolfy> hi all
[03:58] <Guest49260> hi all
[03:59] <Inocuous> hello Guest49260
[04:00] <B0g4r7_> until eventually a whole "tools team" got spun up to build and maintain a "continuous integration" system to automatically build installers straight from the repos.
[04:01] <Jordan_U> B0g4r7_: Please move this discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic.
[04:01] <B0g4r7_> Righty-o.  My bad.
[04:04] <Guest52524> hello world again, have problems with lots of applications after upgrade, please help
[04:04] <Guest52524> what can i do with the ownership of _apt_ ? Error mess: couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. -
[04:05] <Guest52524> This happens from amule, that was working lots of years in advance
[04:08] <Guest52524> ok, world, i'll take care myself, in some case there will be some stable distro in 3 hours here
[04:10] <Guest52524> Is this a normal upgrade when i get inside synaptic:W: Can't drop privileges for downloading as file '/var/cache/apt/archives/partial/grep_2.25-1~16.04.1_i386.deb' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)

[04:27] <juanonymous> how do i record screen on ubuntu?
[04:27] <dearn> Hey guys. After update to 16.04, my Ubuntu started to change from X11 to tty when I press alt+left arrow (instead of doing previous page in web browser) how to turn it off?
[04:28] <dearn> juanonymous: recordmydesktop + install gui, qt- or gtk-recordmydesktop
[04:28] <juanonymous> what if i don't install gui or qt or gtk-recordmydesktop
[04:31] <reisio> juanonymous: the best way is with ffmpeg, dunno if there's a good frontend
[04:37] <b0nn> hi all, I'm having some trouble with my eclipse; I'm on Ubuntu, eclipse is Luna, and I want to upgrade. I have read the wiki FAQ for upgrading but there's a minor catch that I need help with - there's no menu available, no window menuitem to click, no .. any of them. Has anyone an idea how to restore them (or upgrade without clicking Window > Preferences.. etc
[04:38] <b0nn> I think the problem is Ubuntu/Unity
[04:39] <reisio> ever notice how Java™ software is always awful and hard to use?
[04:39] <reisio> that isn't a coincidence
[04:39] <b0nn> nope, noticed that all software is crapTM
[04:39] <reisio> :D
[04:39] <reisio> what's the version of "luna", again?
[04:40] <b0nn> FTR it's only eclipse on my laptop that is experincing the issue, on my desktop it's fine
[04:40] <b0nn> luna is about 2 versions back, I downloaded mars.2 and am experiencing the same issue
[04:40] <katebe> i
[04:40] <b0nn> you know, in the black bar at the top of the window, that menu is missing
[04:41] <xangua> reisio: 12.04?
[04:41] <xangua> Oh lol never mind
[04:41] <wafflejock> b0nn, if you just hit alt in there does it select anything or Alt+W typically that's the window menu shortcut
[04:42] <b0nn> yeah, I've found Alt-W but it doesn't give me all the options I am looking for
[04:43] <wafflejock> b0nn, can arrow left or right to navigate the menus if one opens usually, haven't seen that problem though
[04:44] <b0nn> wafflejock: awesome sauce, that gives me access to the menus
[04:44] <b0nn> thanks :)
[04:44] <b0nn> (although it doesn't un hide them)
[04:46] <reisio> luna is just a useless codename
[04:47] <reisio> codenames being hilarious pranks developers play on... themselves
[04:47] <reisio> to help them be more confused
[04:47] <reisio> actual versions are usually made up of numbers, decimal points, occasionally a letter or two
[04:49] <justsomeguy> Huh, first IRC channel I've been on that has a ToS agreement.
[04:56] <baizon> justsomeguy: happens :)
[04:59] <reisio> and oh how it will stand up in court! :p
[05:00]  * justsomeguy imagines going to court for all the dumb stuff he's said on the internet and has a mental breakdown.
[05:01] <Guest19777> hello
[05:01] <Guest19777> I have some quit questions about fail2ban
[05:01] <Guest19777> best practices and such
[05:02] <reisio> #fail2ban, also
[05:04] <Guest19777> @reisio thank you!
[05:04] <Guest19777> just found that, appears to be quiet there
[05:05] <reisio> Guest19777: it's 1am saturday night for most useful people on freenode
[05:06] <reisio> peak quietness will be in about 3 hours, IIRC, and then it'll get louder
[05:06] <Guest19777> hahah
[05:06] <reisio> that is, 1am after saturday's night (aka sunday morning, real, real early)
[05:07] <Guest19777> makes sense.
[05:07] <Guest19777> I am just having aws cost spike and I want to address it this weekend.
[05:07] <Guest19777> its on an ubuntu headless ec2 instance
[05:08] <reisio> yeah, you definitely want fail2ban or something like it setup for a server
[05:09] <reisio> would be topical in ##linux and a number of other places, too
[05:09] <reisio> #ubuntu-server, yadda yadda
[05:09] <Guest19777> Yea I am browsing through freenode channel lists
[05:09] <Guest19777> I have only used IRC very briefly
[05:10] <Guest19777> I was on Reddit, but everyone there has too many sub rules.
[05:10] <reisio> /msg alis list *fail*ban* would be the fast way
[05:10] <reisio> reddit is, yeah, poorly implemented
[05:10] <reisio> like most things :p
[05:11] <Guest19777> alias list of apache logs?
[05:13] <reisio> talkin' 'bout /msg alis?
[05:13] <reisio> it's a freenode service/bot
[05:14] <reisio> faster way to find channels
[05:14] <reisio> although some channels inexplicably have +s, and you have to /join them to be sure they exist or not
[05:14] <reisio> those channels are usually run by true idiots, though, so :p
[05:15] <imthenachoman> hey guys, having a strange issue. i have a folder that has g+s set and is owned by group1. user1, user2 and user 3 are all in group1. all three can create files in the folder. when user1 and user2 create a file it has g+rw set. when user3 does it only has g+r. why would this be?
[05:15] <wafflejock> Guest19777, you might want to check out ntop to see where all the traffic is going if your cost is coming from bandwidth usage
[05:16] <Guest19777> ok sounds good, is that in AWS Billing or in the instance?

[05:19] <vbvntv> Hi, I'm looking to update from Trusty to Xenial. But update-manager seems to think it's a development release. Hasn't it been released already?
[05:19] <wafflejock> Guest19777, ntop just runs a web server that has some pages that show up when it's running and it collects traffic info over time to show charts and break down some details on the protocols and source/destinations https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ntop    https://www.maketecheasier.com/install-configure-ntop/
[05:20] <Inocuous> vbvntv, it will be officially released for LTS to LTS upgrade in July
[05:20] <Guest19777> @wafflejock thank you!! I was using webmin, but it was very limited in its ability to visually show me issues.
[05:20] <wafflejock> Guest19777, you'd have to be sshed into the instance and install/configure it on there I don't think there's anything in the AWS console to get details
[05:20] <Guest19777> I ended up just greping the logs for invalid attempts
[05:20] <vbvntv> Inocuous, thanks, any link on that?
[05:23] <wafflejock> Guest19777, no problem, I don't like to keep that running all the time just cause extra services and resource usage but good to see what's going on, there's etherape as well but that's GUI based so not so good for remote server installs
[05:23] <rahuldev> http://pastebin.com/64dUDhT8
[05:23] <rahuldev> reisio, http://pastebin.com/64dUDhT8 any idea?
[05:24] <Guest19777> yea I am bound to the SSH or web console systems cause its an EC2
[05:24] <Guest19777> thanks for your help! @wafflejock
[05:24] <wafflejock> Guest19777, sure thing
[05:25] <rahuldev> anyone please help me installing lib32stdc++6, I'm getting this error: http://pastebin.com/64dUDhT8

[05:30] <bobby_> yeah baby

[05:32] <shekhar> currently I am on a windows 10 environment
[05:32] <baizon> shekhar: create a bootable usb stick with http://www.linuxliveusb.com/
[05:32] <rahuldev> Guest19777, ok, thanks, maybe my android studio is running, that's why I'm getting, I'll restart my pc.
[05:33] <baizon> shekhar: then boot from the usb and install
[05:33] <Guest19777> @rahuldev sure no problem also that was on 16.04 in case you are on an older version.
[05:35] <shekhar> baizon:  do i need to install the software or could we make usb stick on site
[05:36] <baizon> shekhar: you can download the portable version and run the program
[05:36] <Guest19777> Disable UEFI in the bios, use Rufus to put the iso into mountable form onto the usb then boot from USB.

[05:43] <Inocuous> I activated the workspace function with the standard number of windows. With the screen showing all four windows, when I move apps from one window to the other, occasionally the OS will freeze and need to be rebooted. Is it not intended to allow moving apps from one window to the other?
[05:44] <mexicutioner> does any one have steam
[05:44] <havoc_hive> Inocuous: memory issue?
[05:44] <Inocuous> no. it's not a memory problem.
[05:45] <rush8733> hello world
[05:45] <mexicutioner> hi
[05:45] <elky> mexicutioner: lots of people have steam. Do you have a support question about Ubuntu?
[05:45] <rush8733> I am rebirthed from Guest19777 to my real username
[05:45] <mexicutioner> no
[05:45] <Inocuous> What I'm asking is, is this a misuse of the workspace? Or could it be one of the apps that don't like being moved that would cause it to freeze?
[05:46] <rush8733> ##steam @mexicutioner
[05:47] <wafflejock> Inocuous, are you using Unity? have you checked out dmesg or /var/log/syslog to see if there's anything in there when this happens?
[05:48] <wafflejock> Inocuous, I know this typically works in Gnome and pretty sure it should work in Unity but dunno what you're running into
[05:48] <Inocuous> I'm using 16.04 out of the box
[05:49] <elky> mexicutioner: please find somewhere else for chatting then.
[05:50] <mexicutioner> why
[05:50] <wafflejock> Inocuous, can check journalctl or dmesg to see what's failing possibly, when it happens can you get to a tty using Ctrl+Alt+F1 to see if there are errors?
[05:50] <XxNemoxX> Ubuntu what if i want it but its WIndows 10
[05:51] <clear`> then dual boot
[05:51] <Inocuous> wafflejock, I'll give it a try.

[05:58] <viju> Where should I copy my java directory - /usr/local?
[06:00] <hicoleri> Is there any kind of "mail daemon" application which fetches main in the background and notifies me when I get mail?
[06:00]  * phunyguy grumbles
[06:02] <wafflejock> hicoleri, think you just want a mail client really, I don't think the command line mail clients will tie into desktop notifications
[06:03] <wafflejock> hicoleri, thunderbird does desktop notifications but I imagine Evolution or other clients would do it as well
[06:04] <hicoleri> wafflejock:okay
[06:04] <viju> Where should I copy my java directory - /usr/local or/usr/local/lib?

[06:19] <katebe> mariadb shows crashed even tho the process is running ports open and am able to login to the dbms server using mysql client
[06:19] <katebe> lxc container*
[06:23] <wafflejock> katebe, can run, sudo netstat -tulpn, will show what processes are bound to what ports
[06:25] <wafflejock> katebe, if you have the ProcessID (PID) you can run, sudo file /proc/PIDHERE/exe, to see what actual process is bound to a given port
[06:25] <katebe> http://termbin.com/pxld
[06:26] <wafflejock> hrm well that's weird not sure what it means if the program/PID is a -
[06:27] <katebe> http://termbin.com/32q3
[06:27] <katebe> ps aux | grep 3306 | nc termbin.com 9999
[06:27] <katebe> thats the response
[06:28] <katebe> and when i check the status it shows crushed
[06:28] <katebe> tho
[06:28] <katebe> am able to login
[06:28] <wafflejock> katebe, could have been manually started?
[06:28] <hicoleri> All sounds stop after I run zynaddsubfx, and zynaddsubfx doesn't seem to give any output either. What do I do? log:http://paste.ubuntu.com/16164282/
[06:29] <hicoleri> It seems that I have to start the jack server before I can do anything with it. How do I do that?
[06:30] <katebe> after installation mysql didnt run automatically
[06:30] <katebe> but i started it manually and then configured it to start on boot
[06:30] <katebe> wafflejock:
[06:30] <wafflejock> hicoleri, you run jackd, I've used qjackctl for starting stopping and configuring jack
[06:30] <wafflejock> katebe, how'd you configure it to start on boot?
[06:31] <katebe> am running lxc
[06:31] <wafflejock> katebe, typically that's handled by the startup scripts that come with the package, sorry unfamiliar with lxc

[06:31] <katebe> wafflejock: oh ok thanks for trying
[06:31] <katebe> to help
[06:32] <cfhowlett> hicoleri, 1.  #opensourcemusicians would know more  2. #ubuntustudio too 3.  restate for those who came late to this thread?
[06:32] <hicoleri> okay

[06:37] <white_magic> hi, is someone here knowledgeable about Samba?
[06:43] <Ben64> white_magic: ask your question to find out
[06:48] <v4rp1ng> white_magic, yes what is your question
[06:52] <white_magic> hey guys, just wondering how can i make Samba NOT share my home directory
[06:53] <white_magic> if i commented out the default [homes] section, it simply doesn't let me log in
[06:53] <kalexyco> bonjour
[06:56] <v4rp1ng> white_magic, if you commet out [homes] it will deactivate this section. what do you want exactly? you want to share your home but only with password prompt?
[06:57] <white_magic> v4rp1ng: what i really want to do is share an external usb drive. what happens, though, is that the drive is automatically mounted at /media/importantuser/ExtHdd
[06:57] <white_magic> how can I make 'testshareuser' access /media/importantuser/ExtHdd via samba?
[06:57] <white_magic> if /media/importantuser/ExtHdd is owned by 'importantuser'?
[06:59] <prestone> Hi all
[06:59] <andgra> Err http://se.archive.ubuntu.com trusty Release.gpg Connection failed [IP: <IP_ADDRESS> 80]
[06:59] <andgra> I get that error when I use apt-get update
[06:59] <prestone> How check if my system is 32 or 64 bits ?
[07:00] <white_magic> Ben64: maybe you have some thoughts?
[07:01] <v4rp1ng> if you want to access /media/importantuser/ExtHdd by testshareuser you have to rewrite the permissions or put testshareuser & importantuser in a group and change the group permissions
[07:01] <v4rp1ng> white_magic
[07:01] <thewisenerd> white_magic, sftp?
[07:02] <white_magic> i wanna use SMB
[07:02] <Ben64> white_magic: you should mount the drive elsewhere
[07:02] <thewisenerd> kthen.
[07:02] <white_magic> well, its mounted automatically by my OS (raspbian debian)...
[07:02] <white_magic> should i try to override that behavior?
[07:03] <v4rp1ng> you can override that with an entry in /etc/fstab
[07:04] <white_magic> what would you suggest? i want to be able to access that drive via both 'importantuser' and 'testshareuser'
[07:04] <white_magic> maybe i can set read permissions to 'testshareuser' for that drive/mounted dir
[07:05] <v4rp1ng> white_magic: so you will have to create a group or put both users into a group and change the group permissions of the drive
[07:05] <Secret-Fire> d
[07:06] <white_magic> v4rp1ng: ill try that, thanks
[07:09] <v4rp1ng> white_magic: $ groupadd extHDacc, $ usermod -aG extHDacc importantuser, $ usermod -aG extHDacc testshareuser, $ chown -R importantuser:extHDacc /media/....

[07:13] <exussum> Hi all, I have an issue when booting netowkr manager doesnt reconise the USB wifi inserted. It either needs network manager restarting or unplugging and putting back in again

[07:34] <Braden`> I am trying to start gnome-session-flashback, and whenever I start gdm3, I get a black screen with an underscore in the upper left that flashes the screen a bunch of times, but gdm3 never actually starts up.  What should I look for to fix my problem?
[07:38] <jonatan> Braden: waht gpu drivers are you using
[07:40] <Guido1> I want to acces a folder on an windows PC, but for some reason it is not working.
[07:46] <Braden`> virtualbox-guest-x11 I believe
[07:52] <Guido1> if i try to print i get the message "nable to connect to CIFS host"
[07:53] <linuxlove> hello my configuration for apache is <VirtualHost *:80>
[07:53] <linuxlove>
[07:53] <linuxlove>         ServerName www.dahliaco.com
[07:53] <linuxlove>         DocumentRoot /var/www/html
[07:54] <linuxlove> i just see that www.dahliaco.com works for me and i dont see same result for dahliaco.com
[07:54] <linuxlove> what is problem?
[08:08] <akik> linuxlove: www.dahliaco.com and dahliaco.com are two different things
[08:08] <akik> linuxlove: you need to create a virtualhost definition for dahliaco.com too
[08:09] <akik> and have the dns server records for both
[08:10] <viju> I have just installed eclipse and whenever I try to create a project etc it sits there doing something in the background. I thought it's a permission issue something so I migrated it from /opt to home directory. Even now it's same. How can I know what's happening in the background to find the real cause?
[08:11] <viju> I tried sys.log but nothing it says about eclipse
[08:11] <baizon> viju: eclipse isnt writing into syslog
[08:11] <akik> viju: did you try running eclipse from the terminal?
[08:12] <baizon> viju: https://wiki.eclipse.org/FAQ_Where_can_I_find_that_elusive_.log_file%3F
[08:12] <viju> I tried both. Earlier, I made a symlink to desktop and ran it. Then I tried running directly from the directory. Still the same.
[08:13] <Braden`> Is there a way to completely reinstall xwindows using gnome-session-flashback and gdm?  I need to purge the settings that are stored
[08:13] <baizon> viju: have you tried removing the configuration?
[08:14] <viju> Not yet. I wanted to investigate by looking at the logs.
[08:14] <baizon> Braden`: https://www.computersnyou.com/4945/re-install-xorg-xserver-completely-ubuntu/
[08:16] <Braden`> baizon:  Thank you
[08:18] <viju> baizon: Do you want me to remove configuration?
[08:18] <viju> I didn't find anything wrong in the metadata/log
[08:19] <baizon> viju: run eclipse from terminal then? and check for errors?
[08:19] <viju> Ok

[08:42] <chroma__> Hi, My hard disk is brand new but its constantly at 100% disk usage
[08:43] <chroma__> any ideas how to troubleshoot this?
[08:43] <tim241> reinstall Ubuntu
 ^^
[08:43] <baizon> chroma__: check, which process is using it
[08:43] <chroma__> tim241, but i just installed it ...
[08:43] <chroma__> gues I have to install it again
[08:43] <tim241> ow that is sad xD
[08:43] <chroma__> thanks
[08:44] <tim241> just try if it does not work
[08:44] <chroma__> eventually it will work if i keep installing it right?
[08:44] <baizon> chroma__: i recommend iotop
[08:44] <tim241> no
[08:44] <wafflejock> yeah iotop
[08:44] <tim241> ow sorry
[08:44] <EriC^^> chroma__: why do you say it's being used 100%?
[08:44] <EriC^^> chroma__: and no reinstalling won't do anything most likely
[08:44] <ducasse> chroma__: pastebin the output of df
[08:44] <snfgf> So MBR is stored in the first sector of a bootable device; does anything change if the MBR is on a device with a 1, 2 or 4K sector size? Everything I read about MBR refers to 512 bytes as being the sector size.

[08:46] <baizon> rahuldev: try switching to a different server, not from in
[08:46] <chroma__> so kill jbd2?
[08:46] <chroma__> just run a script to constantly kill jbd2?
[08:46] <EriC^^> what's jbd2?
[08:47] <baizon> chroma__: which kernel?
[08:47] <chroma__> the process that is taking my io
[08:47] <chroma__> i installed the lastest version of ubuntu
[08:47] <chroma__> 16.04
[08:47] <chroma__> and full updated it
[08:47] <rahuldev> baizon different server means How can I do that?
[08:47] <EriC^^> jbd2 ?
[08:47] <chroma__> EriC^^, yes jbd2 and kworker are taking my io
[08:48] <EriC^^> chroma__: type locate jbd2

[08:49] <rahuldev> baizon got it, will you suggest me some good one?
[08:50] <baizon> chroma__: vm?
[08:50] <chroma__> EriC^^, it only happens ocassionally. I can't predict when it will take all the io
[08:50] <chroma__> EriC^^, it just spikes suddenly
[08:50] <chroma__> even while not doing anything intensive
[08:50] <baizon> rahuldev: let ubuntu pick the best one
[08:50] <lundmar> anyone know if ubuntu will push official vulkan graphics driver support into 16.04 or will that be a 16.10 thing?
[08:50] <tim241> idk
[08:50] <chroma__> just spiked again for no reason then went away
[08:51] <chroma__> but sometimes it stops me from even web browsing
[08:51] <baizon> lundmar: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack
[08:51] <chroma__> its a native install brand new disk brand new dvd
[08:52] <EriC^^> does it show anything in ps aux
[08:52] <rahuldev> thanks baizon then I need to update it?
[08:52] <EriC^^> kworker taking up cpu sometimes means you need to disable an interrupt
[08:52] <chroma__> EriC^^, it will be hard to capture because it only spikes occasionally
[08:52] <baizon> rahuldev: yes
[08:52] <rahuldev> thanks
[08:53] <chroma__> EriC^^, cpu almost always at 0
[08:53] <EriC^^> chroma__: try grep . -r /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/
[08:53] <topan> if i'm upgrade my ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04, is my software/app that i've installed before will deleted?
[08:53] <lundmar> baizon: so you are saying a point release eg. 16.04.2 might get vulkan support?
[08:54] <chroma__> EriC^^, what am i looking for
[08:54] <katebe> clear
[08:54] <cfhowlett> topan, depends on your installation method.  recommendation: wait for a few more months until 16.04.1 comes out and direct upgrade.
[08:55] <EriC^^> chroma__: one with a very high number
[08:55] <rahuldev> baizon, I did it, but still getting same error: has not installation candidate.
[08:56] <chroma__> EriC^^, is 1244 high enough
[08:56] <rahuldev> sudo apt-get install lib32stdc++6 baizon I typed this
[08:56] <EriC^^> chroma__: how big is your disk?
[08:56] <EriC^^> chroma__: no
[08:56] <chroma__> 1 terabyte
[08:56] <EriC^^> ok give it a little time
[08:57] <EriC^^> chroma__: do you have apache installed?
[08:57] <chroma__> EriC^^, up until now no
[08:57] <chroma__> i literally just installed it but i've been having this issue for days
[08:57] <chroma__> so its definitely not apache's fault
[08:59] <chroma__> EriC^^, google says its related to journaling
[08:59] <EriC^^> chroma__: it might fix itself in a couple days
[08:59] <EriC^^> chroma__: i found lots of stuff on google
[08:59] <chroma__> EriC^^, its already been a couple days and it still happens. i guess i can wait a couple days more
[09:00] <chroma__> EriC^^, I really hope its not a faulty disk since I just bought it
[09:01] <rahuldev> baizon, thanks It's installed when Canonical-supported free and open source, selected, the link you given there is checked where in mine is uncheked.
[09:03] <__raven> hi

[09:05] <__raven> i am looking for a tool which is able of dumping multiple audio and video streams (without transcoding!) the most easiest way
[09:10] <Raven> Hello Everyone
[09:12] <Guest87408> I have a question if anyone can help me.
[09:12] <Peroalane> Hi
[09:13] <Peroalane> My computer's fan suddenly gets loud and then reverts to normal all the time, but only in Ubuntu,
[09:13] <cfhowlett> !ask | Guest87408,
[09:13] <Peroalane> Any ideas
[09:13] <Guest87408> I did google but did not get a definitive answer. Can I use Openbox as the windows manager in kubuntu and ubuntu 16.04?
[09:14] <Guest87408> Thank you
[09:14] <ducasse> Guest87408: you can use whatever wm you want, yes.
[09:15] <Guest87408> KDE/Openbox Hybrid setup, possible?
[09:15] <ducasse> Guest87408: should be, but I'm not familiar with KDE.
[09:16] <Guest87408> Thats what Im unsure of, tried it in 15.10 and it would not work due to changes in KDE 5
[09:16] <tim241> alm,ark hallo jij bent nl net als mij xD
[09:16] <tim241> almark ^^ LOL
[09:16] <alex99> hi
[09:17] <Guest87408> Thank You ducasse
[09:17] <ducasse> Guest87408: it's generally a good idea to stay with the wm that comes with the DE, but try 'openbox --replace'
[09:18] <Guest87408> Ok I will do that, the fixtures of KDE with the speed of openbox suits my older hardware
[09:19] <Guest87408> Well, used to anyway.... sigh
[09:19] <ducasse> Guest87408: yes, but you will still be getting a lot of KDE stuff to drag your system down. Why not try Xfce or LXDE?
[09:20] <Guest87408> Im using Crunchbang at the moment, but want to switch to an Ubuntu based system
[09:20] <alkisg> Have you tried ubuntu-mate?
[09:22] <Guest87408> no I have not alkisg , shall go google that now aswell.

[09:48] <Lmntrix> cool thanks man @SCHAAP137
[09:49] <snfgf> ducasse: 14.04
[09:49] <SCHAAP137> did some searching, just restarting the network service can have bad side effects, most people say it's better to just bring the desired interface down && up again
[09:50] <Lmntrix> yeah thanks thats the actual question i had in mind
[09:50] <Lmntrix> how do u bring down or put up the network interface
[09:51] <SCHAAP137> that article i linked, explains it
[09:52] <bhavesh> could anyone explain me why "sudo apt-get update" runs so fast compared to older Ubuntu versions?
[09:52] <bhavesh> it takes only about 5 seconds, while earlier it took about 30 seconds to a minute
[09:52] <bhavesh> what changes did they do?
[09:54] <ducasse> bhavesh: you probably have fewer repos enabled
[09:54] <bhavesh> ducasse: earlier, even on a fresh install, it took about a minute
[09:54] <SCHAAP137> bhavesh, with 16.04 you can also use 'sudo apt update', it will show some colours and progress bars
[09:54] <bhavesh> and the list was quite long, i.e the output which apt-get update gives, ducasse
[09:54] <bhavesh> SCHAAP137: oh, didn't know that
[09:55] <SCHAAP137> i discovered it 2 days ago myself :P
[09:55] <SCHAAP137> all other apt-get operations, look better when done with just apt
[09:55] <bhavesh> SCHAAP137: I just tried it, didn;t get any progress bars
[09:55] <bhavesh> I was just wondering why it is so much faster now
[09:57] <SCHAAP137> hmm, it could also be mirror-related
[09:57] <SCHAAP137> with a fresh system, you just have the regular ubuntu repos, geographically close
[09:58] <wafflejock> bhavesh, yeah could be combo of less repos to hit and things working faster with less people hitting the particular servers that are shipping packages for the new version, just speculating though not sure
[09:59] <snfgf> So, to disable a service I need to use update-rc.d, OR upstart, OR systemd...?
[09:59] <bhavesh> wafflejock: okay
[10:01] <almark> hoi tim241
[10:01] <tme5> i think the lack of 14.04 -> 16.04 update should have been clearer in the xenial notes :P
[10:03] <snfgf> How do I know which of update-rc.d, upstart or systemd to use to disable services?
[10:03] <tme5> see for yourself :P https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader?field.searchtext=16.04
[10:03] <SCHAAP137> snfgf, as i understood, systemd creates template unit files for any update-rc.d or upstart based service
[10:03] <SCHAAP137> systemd uses modules to read them
[10:03] <SCHAAP137> so in the end, you can just control everything from systemd
[10:05] <tme5> also, why the hell are we allowing users to attempt the upgrade, when we KNOW it is not possible??
[10:05] <tme5> did no-one consider this??
[10:06] <cfhowlett> tme5, calm down.
[10:06] <tme5> cfhowlett, i am calm :P simply voicing my concern
[10:07] <SCHAAP137> tme5, the upgrade path for 14.04->16.04 opens when 16.04.1 releases, July 21st
[10:07] <tme5> i am aware of this, but most users are not
[10:07] <tme5> ok that is a lie. i have no idea what proportion.
[10:08] <tme5> but it seems to be mentioned only subtly in the notes. and there are a lot of reports.
[10:10] <hiexpo> bad idea to upgrade without a backup
[10:11] <cfhowlett> hiexpo, don't be silly.  no one would do an upgrade without a backup in place.
[10:11]  * alkisg did :)
[10:11] <SCHAAP137> there is/was a time window in which do-release-upgrade -d would force the upgrade to xenial, but at some point it will (or already has) changed to 16.10 yakkety; not sure when that happens
[10:11] <tme5> i am just surprise that ubuntu still let's people attempt the upgrade
[10:12] <tme5> oh i see
[10:12] <hiexpo> yup
[10:12] <cfhowlett> ubuntu doesn not protect users from self-inflicted silly
[10:12] <alkisg> upgrade doesn't destroy user data even if it fails
[10:12] <alkisg> It's just a matter of fixing sources, a few postinst scripts etc, and then retrying apt dist-upgrade...
[10:12] <hiexpo> yes it does
[10:13] <alkisg> It destroys /home? how?
[10:13] <mDfRg> dont't forget rm -rf / is still available, talking about security
[10:13] <SCHAAP137> i just upgraded it, I couldn't wait, apart from some minor self-inflicted transitional issues, it works fine atm
[10:14] <alkisg> If any postinst script does rm -rf /, it will be there on simple apt upgrades as well, not just on do-release-upgrades
[10:16] <mDfRg> I meant that we're arguing about the system letting users run do-release-upgrade whereas same systme let you run rm -rf /
[10:16] <mDfRg> *system lets
[10:17] <SCHAAP137> you'd still need --no-preserve-root to make it work
[10:17] <SCHAAP137> did it once, before reinstalling, just to see what would happen
[10:17] <littlebit> hi people, i have ubuntu 16.04 and wanted to install gitlab, yet I get this error message during the installation. http://dpaste.com/32E3Q3K can someone help??
[10:17] <EriC^^> the pc slowly disintegrates
[10:18] <mDfRg> SCHAAP137: and what happened?
[10:18] <alkisg> littlebit, do you have nginx installed and disabled?
[10:19] <SCHAAP137> mDfRg, the OS just crumbled down, disintegrated
[10:20] <mDfRg> SCHAAP137: did you were able to use the prompt? some of the system persisted in RAM, didn;t it?
[10:21] <littlebit> alkisg: i tried to uninstall nginx with apt-get remove but that didn't change anything
[10:22] <alkisg> littlebit, try apt-get purge nginx so as to remove its config files
[10:22] <alkisg> It's possible that gitlab's postinst script gets confused by them
[10:22] <SCHAAP137> mDfRg, to some extent, but it doesn't last very long
[10:22] <SCHAAP137> it's fun to try though, in a virtual machine
[10:22] <killer> hey , anyone running ubuntu on mac air 2015
[10:23] <mDfRg> yeah, maybe gonna do that in spare time. Did you have additional prompt for the command?
[10:23] <cfhowlett> killer, avoid "... anyone ..." questions.  YOUR problems with YOUR specifications might get answers
[10:24] <TJ-> SCHAAP137: mDfRg everything already running should continue fine, but *any* additional files needing to be read will cause failures. Files already open remain even if they are unlinked (deleted) - they're only removed from the file-system when closed and not referenced by any process.
[10:25] <SCHAAP137> mDfRg, that would be something like: sudo rm -rfv --no-preserve-root /
[10:25] <littlebit> alkisg: I even purged gitlab and went to reinstall gitlab, yet I get this http://dpaste.com/0FF19ZV
[10:25] <TJ-> mDfRg: you can test it in a chroot too
[10:26] <mDfRg> so simple sudo rm -rf / won't work I suppose
[10:26] <mDfRg> that's a useful info
[10:26] <EriC^^> mDfRg: sudo rm -rf /* might
[10:27] <geirha> can confirm, * makes all the difference
[10:27] <TJ-> mDfRg: according to the source-code rm will report "failed to get attributes of /"
[10:27] <Qwertie> Im trying to compile tinywm but I am getting this error. Am I missing a dependency? https://bpaste.net/show/70720c66c5e1
[10:28] <TJ-> giraffe: that makes perfect sense, since the shell expands /* before passing the list of entries to 'rm'
[10:28] <TJ-> geirha: that makes perfect sense, since the shell expands /* before passing the list of entries to 'rm'
[10:28] <alkisg> Qwertie, apt-get build-dep tinywm
[10:28] <mDfRg> I see
[10:29] <Qwertie> alkisg: Same error
[10:29] <alkisg> Qwertie, after you install the packages needed, try "make" etc
[10:29] <alkisg> Not just gcc
[10:30] <SCHAAP137> ah TJ-, that patch you made for network-manager-openvpn a while ago, to add an option for tls-cipher; it doesn't seem to apply anymore in 16.04's version of that package. I altered your patch a bit to make it work again: http://paste.ubuntu.com/16167873/
[10:30] <TJ-> SCHAAP137: really? do I need to push a fix to my PPA for 16.04?
[10:30] <SCHAAP137> it uses a different header file, in a different place
[10:31] <TJ-> SCHAAP137: naughty... I'll switch to the PC I created that from and add that and push it
[10:31] <SCHAAP137> i managed to change & build it for myself, using your patch as an example
[10:31] <kevin123> Qwertie, you installed libx11-dev ?
[10:31] <SCHAAP137> but for other people, it might be handy
[10:31] <Qwertie> kevin123: Yeah, I needed to get the make file to compile it
[10:32] <kevin123> alright
[10:32] <kevin123> try make clean
[10:32] <kevin123> then rerun it
[10:34] <Qwertie> Ah, gcc just needs the -lX11 option
[10:34] <kevin123> that should be in the makefile
[10:35] <Qwertie> It was but I didnt have the makefile before
[10:35] <SCHAAP137> TJ-, it would be even nicer if it could be merged into the regular package, but i don't have a clue how it would work, in an organisational sense
[10:35] <TJ-> SCHAAP137: If I can find my original source/patches I'll push it, and see if I can get it upstreamed too
[10:35] <TJ-> SCHAAP137: for some reason it's not where I thought I'd left it :s
[10:36] <Village> What proxy i need use that be iptv http stream to iptv http stream?
[10:37] <SCHAAP137> obviously i can test things if needed, TJ-, 16.04 install here
[10:37] <TJ-> SCHAAP137: I'm slowly upgrading to 16.04 but there are a *lot* of bugs popping up so I'm taking it slowly
[10:38] <TJ-> SCHAAP137: any idea what date it was I published that network-manager-openvpn package ?
[10:39] <TJ-> SCHAAP137: oh found it in my emails: 24 March
[10:40] <SCHAAP137> hm, i can only see the 16.04 changelogs
[10:40] <SCHAAP137> last change was april 12
[10:40] <hiexpo> bugs yup lol
[10:40] <SCHAAP137> 1.1.93-1ubuntu1
[10:41] <TJ-> SCHAAP137: usually I put package source under /home/all/SourceCode/<package-name>/ but for some reason I put that under /home/all/SourceCode/openvpn/<package-name> the date helped me find it
[10:41] <SCHAAP137> ahh your local package source, allright
[10:45] <TJ-> SCHAAP137: yeah... OK, done for 16.04, pushing up to launchpad now. probably show up in about an hour
[10:46] <SCHAAP137> cool
[10:51] <TJ-> SCHAAP137: I'll see about adding some GUI extensions to the -gnome package before pushing it upstream, too
[10:53] <dlinux_> what's the channel about?
[10:53] <cfhowlett> !topic | dlinux
[10:53] <SCHAAP137> ah nice TJ-
[11:01] <sebsebseb> hi
[11:01] <SCHAAP137> TJ-, the best spot for a GUI element for tls-cipher, would be underneath 'HMAC Authentication', in tab 2 (Security) of the Advanced dialog of a VPN connection
[11:01] <SCHAAP137> there's still some space left there
[11:02] <SCHAAP137> imho
[11:05] <Thinker_> can anyone please tell what does sd stands for in naming of storage devices, like sda, sdb......i mean full form of sd
[11:05] <sebsebseb> Thinker_: storage device I guess
[11:05] <sebsebseb> Thinker_: that's probaby it yeah, but iit's just a way to label the partitions really
[11:06] <SCHAAP137> Thinker_, originally it was a SCSI device, but then SATA came out
[11:06] <sebsebseb> Thinker_: sda would usaully be the first hard disk, and sdb if there is one a second hard disk
[11:06] <Thinker_> sebsebseb,  SCHAAP137  thanks all
[11:06] <akik> Thinker_: scsi device
[11:06] <sebsebseb> Thinker_: and then each partition inside that
[11:07] <sebsebseb> Thinker_: ok you're welcome :)
[11:07] <sebsebseb> oh gone already
[11:07] <akik> i think there was a time period in which a ata disk would have sda instead of hda in linux kernel
[11:08] <ducasse> akik: IDE devices used to be hda, SCSI sda
[11:08] <SCHAAP137> "SATA support in Linux is implemented in a layer referred to as libata, which sits below the SCSI subsystem. For this reason, SATA drivers are found in the SCSI driver section of the configuration."
[11:09] <FManTropyx> you are both right!
[11:09] <FManTropyx> ata? wasn't that just an alias for ide?
[11:10] <SCHAAP137> ata = advanced technology attachment
[11:11] <thoht> is it safe to migration ubuntu 14 to 16 when having ceph/qmenu/kvm/libvirt used ?
[11:11] <sebsebseb> thoht: 14.04 to 16.04 you mean?
[11:11] <sebsebseb> thoht: you can't LTS to LTS upgrade juset yet another three months or so when 16.04.1 is released
[11:11] <thoht> yes
[11:11] <thoht> LTS to LTS
[11:12] <sebsebseb> thoht: also when you do upgrade yes your virtual machine programs may get effected a bit since going to quite later versions  probablly
[11:12] <sebsebseb> two years or so difference
[11:12] <sebsebseb> however
[11:12] <sebsebseb> will probably go mostly smoothley
[11:12] <sebsebseb> however I don't realy use the programs you have mentioned, althoruhg tried out qemu before I think
[11:12] <thoht> i got a cluster of 3 ubuntu 14.04 LTS
[11:12] <thoht> so the idea is to migrate them one by one
[11:12] <sebsebseb> thoht: you should wait untll the point relaesse before even trying anyway really
[11:12] <thoht> to 16.04 LTS
[11:13] <thoht> ok understood
[11:13] <sebsebseb> LTS to LTS upgrades aren't supported yet
[11:13] <sebsebseb> but when 16.04.1 comes out it will be
[11:13] <sebsebseb> !16.04.1
[11:17] <akik> ducasse: it was in kernel 2.6.19 that the thing changed. /dev/hda for an ide disk would then be called /dev/sda
[11:19] <ducasse> akik: probably right, I just remember it was a long time ago :)

[12:09] <Nomp> Hello all. Anyone know how to work with ibus and xkb? Having problems getting things working properly
[12:09] <alkisg> Nomp: what's your locale?
[12:10] <Nomp> alkisg: I have various layouts with xkb, so.. several?
[12:10] <pintman> Nomp, ask your question and anyone with expertise will answer.
[12:10] <alkisg> Nomp, ah, so you're not using the system defaults at: grep OPTION /etc/default/keyboard
[12:11] <Nomp> I have no idea what that means, alkisg :)
[12:11] <Nomp> alkisg: I use multiple keyboard with xkb including one modified one. All that has been working fine
[12:11] <lffkudil> i have an good idea, where can i suggest it?
[12:12] <cfhowlett> !contribute | lffkudil
[12:12] <MonkeyDust> lffkudil  start in #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:12] <alkisg> Nomp:  Recent Ubuntu (Unity) versions don't respect xkb much. I switched to Ubuntu-mate because of that.
[12:12] <bishops> Anyone using California as a calendar on ubuntu? Why is there still a theme problem with it? Anyway to resolve this?
[12:12] <lffkudil> thanks
[12:12] <Nomp> I'm actually on Linux Mint but they just passed the buck, alkisg haha
[12:12] <Nomp> alkisg: I just assumed that I'd be able to get some help here
[12:13] <MonkeyDust> Nomp  mint is not supported here, it's a different distro
[12:13] <mDfRg> I know about suspend via ssh
[12:13] <Nomp> Yes, MonkeyDust
[12:13] <mDfRg> I thought about a setting to save electricity
[12:13] <Nomp> MonkeyDust: Everywhere I go, they just send me somewhere else haha
[12:13] <mDfRg> in case someone power on machine, doesn't log in and leave the room
[12:14] <cfhowlett> Nomp, not sure what "passed the buck" means but if they don't support their OS perhaps you should consider your options
[12:14] <Nomp> cfhowlett: Which 'options'?
[12:15] <Nomp> cfhowlett: The problem is that when I go to ask them they just tell me to go elsewhere because they don't support the components which make up the distro
[12:15] <Nomp> Pretty lousy attitude, in my opinion
[12:15] <cfhowlett> for one, install a supported OS.  ubuntu springs to mind ...
[12:15] <qq> Who can help me to solve a problem, why i7 can not guide the OS X Mac, I use the other PC
[12:15] <Nomp> cfhowlett: Not so helpful for me
[12:17] <alkisg> Nomp: what were you using before, and it worked?
[12:18] <elichai2> hey
[12:18] <viju> How do I install gnome classic?
[12:18] <Nomp> alkisg: I was just using xkb for my layouts. I wanted to start using ibus for Chinese but it's much worse (and the Chinese doesn't work)
[12:18] <elichai2> do you think it's already safe to upgrade to 16.04?
[12:18] <viju> elichai2: Try it out before. I really don't like it.
[12:18] <elichai2> viju, why?
[12:19] <alkisg> Nomp: yeah ibus was broken for me too, I disabled it completely
[12:19] <viju> There is nothing really new good about it.
[12:19] <elichai2> (i'm on 15.10 now)
[12:19] <Nomp> alkisg: So, what are my options?
[12:19] <elichai2> viju, so why don't like it? you mean you were disappointed?
[12:19] <alkisg> Nomp: I don't know about chinese support in xkb, sorry, maybe ask in some chinese channel...
[12:19] <Nomp> alkisg: Do I simply forget about using Chinese input altogether?
[12:20] <alkisg> xkb works fine for me here
[12:20] <alkisg> (greek, english)
[12:20] <viju> I never liked Unity, because it was broken in my 12.04, I doubt it's the reason my eclipse cant open some dialog box.
[12:20] <Nomp> alkisg: Yeah, it works for most layouts but it doesn't do Chinese
[12:20] <TJ-> viju: on which ubuntu release is your Eclipse problem?
[12:20] <viju> Plus, Ubuntu Software Center the replacement for it's earlier thing is still broken.
[12:20] <Nomp> alkisg: I've even managed to create my own custom layouts with xkb (which is such a prick to do! haha)
[12:21] <Nomp> iBus doesn't use the xkb layouts definitions and I can't see a way of making them work with them
[12:21] <Cedara> Hi!
[12:21]  * Cedara raises hand
[12:21] <elichai2> my big problem is restting my repos after every upgrade :/
[12:21] <viju> TJ-: I tried eclipse 32, 64 that I had used before on my 12.04, they all worked there, but now in the machine won't run. I have no way to figure out if it's an Eclipse issue or Ubuntu.
[12:22] <TJ-> viju: on 12.04 Precise?
[12:22] <alkisg> Cedara: you can just ask...
[12:22] <TJ-> viju: there are known issues on 16.04 which can be fixed by changes to the eclipse.ini
[12:22] <viju> elichai2: I don't want to be disuade you away, just try the live cd use all the software that you use and see if it works for you.
[12:23] <Cedara> Ubuntu 16.04 64bit, wanted to install Vivaldi (deb), but didn't work. It only says waiting for installation. Do I need an extra for .deb ?
[12:23] <Hanumaan> I tried to upgrade via command line on remote machine with the following command "sudo do-release-upgrade" but it says "No new release found"... how do upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04?
[12:23] <Cedara> I'm afraid I messed things up, so I thought I'd ask.
[12:23] <viju> TJ-: I knew of some issue back in Linux Mint. Eclipse used to crash because some piece of line wasn't added in eclipse.ini. Do you mean similar thing can fix it?
[12:23] <Cedara> Thanks, alkisg
[12:23] <cfhowlett> Hanumaan, wait for 16.04.1 or download the 16.04 USB and clean install
[12:23] <MonkeyDust> !find vivaldi
[12:23] <TJ-> viju: are you on 12.04 or 16.04 with the problem?
[12:24] <viju> TJ-: 16.04
[12:24] <Cedara> MonkeyDust : No result at the link.
[12:24] <alkisg> Cedara: there's a known issue with gnome-software installing third party .deb files, it was fixed but it's only released in -proposed so far, so  you need to use "dpkg". Google about it, I don't have the link handy...
[12:24] <viju> On 12.04 I always used gnome classic, since Unity messed itself up.
[12:25] <Cedara> alkisg : Ta. How do I check if I messed things up?
[12:25] <alkisg> I don't know what you did to mess things up...
[12:25] <TJ-> viju: right. edit the eclipse.ini, remove the 2 lines "--launcher.library" and the following line. Replace with the 2 lines "--launcher.GTK_version" and "2"
[12:25] <Hanumaan> cfhowlett, thank you for the info so as of now command line upgrade is not yet complete ready but upgrade-manager -d is already giving GUI upgrade is this fine to upgrade or should one wait for 16.04.1?
[12:25] <mDfRg> Speaking of upgrade to 16.04 is there any danger with staying on 15.10 till the end of the year?
[12:26] <cfhowlett> Hanumaan, my advice is free and worth every penny paid.  wait for 16.04.1 so the first wave of bug fixes are implemented
[12:26] <Cedara> alkisg: I clicked the deb, the sofware center popped up and gave me an install button, I clicked on that but it only said "installation waiting". After a reboot, that bit wasn't there anymore.
[12:26] <Cedara> (yes, I know, I should have come here first, before rebooting)
[12:27] <MonkeyDust> mDfRg  'danger' is too big a word, support ends in july, i think, you won't get updated after that
[12:27] <alkisg> Cedara: I wouldn't worry much about that part
[12:27] <TJ-> viju: also, in the eclipse.desktop file (probably under ~/.local/share/applications) you can make sure eclipse has its own menu (rather than Unity stealing it) with UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0, e.g. "Exec=/usr/bin/env UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0 /opt/eclipse/4.5/eclipse"
[12:27] <Cedara> alkisg : ah, good
[12:27] <MonkeyDust> updates*
[12:27] <Cedara> Then google is me
[12:28] <TJ-> Cedara: check if the package is actually installed with "apt-cache policy <package-name>"
[12:28] <mDfRg> MonkeyDust: even uptodate programs like firefox?
[12:29] <Cedara> TJ- : Not found. So that means it's fine.
[12:29] <Seb2370> Guys anybody with any luck with EFI Stub loader and Dell firmware?
[12:29] <MonkeyDust> !eol | mDfRg
[12:30] <cfhowlett> avoid "anyone ..." questions.  give YOUR problems and YOUR specifications for best results
[12:30] <TJ-> Cedara: not installed then. In 16.04 there are some reports that Software Center (actually gnome-software) is not installing .debs, is not showing installation status, does not list non-gui packages,and doesn't list packages at all at first log-in (due to empty cache)
[12:31] <viju> TJ-: Thanks it worked!
[12:32] <TJ-> viju: that hit me last week which is why I knew :)
[12:32] <Cedara> TJ- : Shall I file a report or such?
[12:33] <TJ-> Cedara: there are many already :p
[12:33] <Seb2370> well... the firmware (Dell XT3) refuses to pass arguments to the Kernel from a boot entry but it pass them just fine once something else has booted, like when booting to a EFI Shell, exit, and the next entry in boot order loads including arguments
[12:33] <Cedara> TJ- lol
[12:34] <TJ-> Seb2370: sounds like a bug in the Dell UEFI
[12:34] <Seb2370> TJ-:yeah is driving me nuts
[12:35] <TJ-> Seb2370: have you chased up Dell?
[12:35] <herrkin> hello awesome community, I installed the driver for my wifi module on my laptop, now I have to manually enable it after each boot and then restart network-manager service, is there anything I can do to make it hapen automatically?
[12:35] <TJ-> Seb2370: the only reasonable work-around is to boot via GRUB I guess
[12:35] <herrkin> I need the system to auto enable the eno1 network device
[12:36] <TJ-> herrkin: what do you mean by "manually enable it" - what commands do you issue?
[12:36] <wifi_qjh> Welcome to chat with me
[12:36] <herrkin> TJ-, sudo ifconfig eno1 up
[12:36] <wifi_qjh> new people
[12:36] <mDfRg> MonkeyDust: so after July 2016 there will be no updates at all for 15.10?
[12:36] <Seb2370> TJ-: not yet, I just suspect they are not going to do much. Yeah GRUB works fine but rEFInd works to so I might go with that, I might try to write an EFI loader with gnu-efi but not sure yet if i want to spend the time
[12:37] <dillon> does anyone know how to get netflix to work with ubuntu lts?
[12:38] <dillon> 14.04 LTS
[12:39] <wifi_qjh> A little bit difficult
[12:39] <MonkeyDust> mDfRg  true
[12:39] <MonkeyDust> dillon  is this useful http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/watch-netflix-natively-linux-easy-way/
[12:40] <MonkeyDust> mDfRg  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
[12:40] <TJ-> herrkin: have you defined that interface in Network Manager connections ?
[12:40] <wifi_qjh> great
[12:41] <herrkin> TJ-, how do I check that? I think I didn't
[12:42] <TJ-> herrkin: 'generally' if the system uses N.M. it won't touch any interface you define manually in /etc/network/interfaces. So, if you've done that, I'd suggest removing/commenting the config in that file and then using N.M.'s GUI connection editor to define a connection, then it'll autostart
[12:43] <dillon> MonkeyDust all I get when I open it in chrome is the system requirements page
[12:45] <herrkin> TJ-, the interfaces file was not edited, I just installed the driver, but it does not go up when booting. I have to manually issue the up command to get it online. and later because network manage doesnt know about that I just restart the service and I can use wifi
[12:46] <MonkeyDust> dillon  maybe the people in #chrome can help
[12:46] <mDfRg> MonkeyDust: can it be overriden by PPA's and souces.lists?
[12:46] <lffkudil> i wish ubuntu would come with an option in the privacy setting to route the internet trought TOR... would be nice to see in the news after the amazon search thing
[12:46] <herrkin> TJ-, I have no configuration in the interfaces file besides auto lo \r iface lo inet loopback
[12:47] <TJ-> herrkin: Hmmm, then maybe the reason is just that you've not yet created a N.M. connection for the Wifi
[12:47] <herrkin> no I haven't I dont know how
[12:48] <TJ-> herrkin: at the command-line "nmcli con" will list all the defined connections
[12:48] <TJ-> herrkin: right click on the network icon in the task-bar and choose "Edit connections..."
[12:48] <MonkeyDust> mDfRg  you better disable ppa's, when you upgrade to a next release
[12:49] <herrkin> ok it has a lot of connections including in green the active ones, the wifi and the docker one.
[12:50] <herrkin> TJ-, I am connected to the wifi, all I want is not having to do those commands every time I boot
[12:51] <TJ-> herrkin: right, which requires N.M. to save a connectionc configuration so it knows how to connect, the secret key, etc.
[12:52] <hfp> Hi, I have a newly installed Ubuntu 14 LTS system install. I would like to make regular backups of it, what is the best way? The info on the wiki seems outdated; backup-manager is still listed but the project has been dead for a while now. I tried tar but it errored. Suggestions on how to run regular backups on a cron job?
[12:53] <MonkeyDust> hfp  rsync is easy and fast
[12:53] <qq_> I am very fond of foreign culture, especially in terms of literacy, love programming ideas
[12:54] <herrkin> TJ-, the connection and secret key info is already saved, as soon as get the eno1 device up it connects
[12:54] <TJ-> !info bacula | hfp
[12:54] <mDfRg> MonkeyDust: I meant, can I  stay with 15.10 and add PPA's/sources.list to have up-to-date Firefox and other key apps? 16.04 seems too buggy for the moment
[12:54] <Cedara> TJ- : found the launchpad url for the .deb bug and a note of that on omgubuntu
[12:54] <TJ-> herrkin: so, you *do* have a N.M. connection configured?
[12:54] <herrkin> I dont have to manually join the Network if thats what you mean TJ-
[12:54] <TJ-> herrkin: OK, that's different then.
[12:54] <Wulf> qq_: literacy?
[12:55] <MonkeyDust> mDfRg  ppa's a updated by the maintainer, better contact him/them
[12:55] <herrkin> what I mean is that when I boot the system the network manager doesn't activate the eno1 device
[12:55] <qq_> i am china
[12:55] <TJ-> herrkin: the link should 'up' automatically, if N.M. knows its Wireless. but I think you said it has a 'wired' sounding name, wasn't it "en0" ?
[12:55] <Wulf> !cn | qq_
[12:55] <TJ-> herrkin: what chipset/device is the WiFi, and which kernel driver?
[12:56] <herrkin> its ralink, if you tell me how to get that info exactly I type it here
[12:56] <effectnet> what's an easy way to share links between ubuntu and windows machines?
[12:56] <qq_> y wulf
[12:57] <hfp> Thanks MonkeyDust, TJ-
[12:57] <MonkeyDust> hfp  rsync [options] [source] [destination] ... also possible over ssh
[12:57] <TJ-> herrkin: OK "pastebinit <( lspci -nnk; lsusb; iwconfig; ifconfig eno1; )"
[12:57] <hfp> MonkeyDust: Are there dirs you exclude with rsync?
[12:57] <_cyborg> hi
[12:57] <qq_> see things in a blur
[12:57] <Wulf> qq_: Your English needs improvement. So if you have any real questions, #ubuntu-cn can probably help you better.
[12:58] <MonkeyDust> hfp  yes, you can exclude folders ... type   man rsync
[12:58] <MonkeyDust> !info luckybackup | hfp

[13:02] <TJ-> herrkin: if you'd issued the command as I gave it it'd have sent all the info into 1 pastebin automatically
[13:03] <herrkin> hm.. pastebin is internal to ubuntu?
[13:03] <MonkeyDust> TJ-  what names are you referring to
[13:04] <herrkin> TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/16171140/
[13:04] <TJ-> MonkeyDust: sorry, s/name/names/ as in "lucky"backup
[13:06] <TJ-> herrkin: thanks, so the device is "01:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Ralink corp. RT3290 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe [1814:3290]"
[13:06] <MonkeyDust> TJ-  i agree, but cannot be blamed
[13:06] <dillon> what do ya'll use for your music downloads?
[13:06] <Village> maybe someone tryed rinetd ?
[13:07] <Wulf> dillon: youtube
[13:07] <herrkin> TJ-, yes
[13:08] <TJ-> herrkin: did you manually install the active driver rt2860 ?
[13:08] <herrkin> TJ-, I had 14 lts and upgraded to 16 lts, when I installed restricted extras I lost wireless, so I googled and I installed it manually (almost, via a script)
[13:08] <TJ-> herrkin: because the mainline kernel module rt2800pci claims that device as an alias and therefore would be expected to manage it correctly
[13:09] <ozbrk> hi guys need to ask a quesrtion about raw theraphee
[13:09] <ozbrk> on ubuntu ofc are there any ırc support channels about it ?
[13:09] <cfhowlett> ozbrk, ask but note that raw is NOT an ubuntu product
[13:10] <ozbrk> ok umm ı'm runnig a batch to convert my RAW images to JPEG format on ubuntu (a mass of files about 500 .NEF images) after a while program crashes
[13:10] <ozbrk> or ubuntu crashes
[13:11] <TJ-> herrkin: due to the release-upgrade there may be 14.04 left-overs causing issues, lets check: "pastebinit <( grep -E '(blacklist|options) rt' /etc/modprobe.d/* )"
[13:11] <herrkin> TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/16171310/
[13:12] <moskovych>  HexChat: 2.10.2 ** OS: Linux 4.4.0-21-generic x86_64 ** Distro: Ubuntu "xenial" 16.04 ** CPU: 2 x Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU B950 @ 2.10GHz (GenuineIntel) @ 2.10GHz ** RAM: Physical: 3.7GiB, 31.0% free ** Disk: Total: 451.7GiB, 23.2% free ** VGA: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller ** Sound: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH ** Ethernet: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

[13:12] <TJ-> herrkin: ahhh, those blacklists will prevent the kernel's preferred driver loading, so lets see if the timestamp tells us when they were added: "pastebinit <( ls -l /etc/modprobe.d/ )"
[13:13] <cfhowlett> ozbrk, 500 images?  I'd suspect you overloaded your buffer unless you have sizeable ram.  anyway, raw
[13:13] <cfhowlett> raw has moved its forums to https://discuss.pixls.us/c/software/rawtherapee
[13:13] <herrkin> http://paste.ubuntu.com/16171359/
[13:14] <TJ-> herrkin: so april 28th, 18:30... that would be when you installed the rt2860?
[13:15] <herrkin> TJ-, same day of the upgrade, which was also the day I installed restricted extras and I lost the driver. then I installed the driver myself the same day
[13:17] <TJ-> herrkin: OK, I'd like to see kernel logging from the rt2800pci driver (trying to) load, we could change things around to do that now but you'd likely have issues switching back to the working driver, so it might be easier for us to search the archived kernel logs for the entries from just after you did the upgrade.
[13:17] <TJ-> herrkin: let's start by listing all the kern.log files: "pastebinit <( ls -ltr /var/log/kern* )"
[13:18] <herrkin> http://paste.ubuntu.com/16171469/
[13:19] <TJ-> herrkin: so, kern.log.1 will cover the 28th; "pastebinit <( grep rt28 /var/log/kern.log.1 )"
[13:19] <mDrRg> How about Xubuntu 16.04? Is it buggy? Idk if it's worth to update from 15.10
[13:19] <mDfRg> ?
[13:19] <cfhowlett> mDrRg, wait until 16.04.1 for the first wave of fixes to be integrated
[13:19] <herrkin> TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/16171140/
[13:20] <mDrRg> cfhowlett: do you know when it will be published? Is it official or per-need?
[13:20] <nj8> Hi, is there any experience of ubuntu 16.04 installation on MSI Apache ge60 ?
[13:21] <TJ-> herrkin: that can't be correct; that's an old pastebin :)
[13:21] <Wulf> nj8: why, got problems?
[13:21] <herrkin> TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/16171499/
[13:21] <TJ-> mDrRg: 16.04.1 will be released in July
[13:21] <herrkin> I dont know why it pasted the last one lol TJ-
[13:22] <hfp> Also, when I ssh into the Ubuntu server or when I am within tmux, my Ubuntu prompt has no colors. I am using the default .bashrc and it checks for color to decide whether to display a colorful prompt. How can I fix it and get a color prompt over ssh/mosh/tmux? I found a StackOverflow answer from 2010 advising to alias `tmux` to `TERM=xterm-256color tmux` but still no color.
[13:22] <mDrRg> TJ-:  oh, so right before the EOL :)
[13:22] <nj8> I want to install ubuntu instead of debian for a better game support (wine, playonlinux, etc.) but I remember that i've never succeed to install ubuntu 15.04 on me MSI Apache Ge60 (I suspect problem with my video card)
[13:23] <hfp> I also tried `tmux -2` to no avail
[13:23] <Wulf> nj8: but debian works?
[13:24] <TJ-> herrkin: I'm investigating those errors; it could be a missing firmware issue
[13:24] <Guest4550> hi guys
[13:24] <nj8> Yes, debian works well but not ubuntu. unfortunately, i don't remember errors informations that i got when tried to install ubuntu :/. That why i'm asking for any successfull experience on 16.04
[13:24] <Guest4550> i want to install a particular version of wine
[13:24] <Guest4550> this one
[13:24] <Guest4550> https://launchpad.net/~commendsarnex/+archive/ubuntu/winedri3
[13:24] <Guest4550> how do i do it
[13:24] <Guest4550> i already added the repository
[13:25] <TJ-> herrkin: show me "pastebinit <( modinfo -F firmware rt2860 )"
[13:25] <Guest4550> ?
[13:26] <MonkeyDust> Guest4550  scroll down on that page ... 'For questions and bugs with software in this PPA please contact Nick Sarnie.'
[13:26] <herrkin> TJ-, modinfo: ERROR: Module rt2860 not found.
[13:26] <Guest4550> it'll take like a day maybe more
[13:26] <TJ-> herrkin: hmmph, we saw earlier "Kernel driver in use: rt2860"
[13:26] <TJ-> herrkin: do you get a hit with "lsmod | grep rt28"
[13:27] <herrkin> TJ-, no
[13:27] <nj8> look, some related stuff : / http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2322071
[13:27] <Guest4550> so ?
[13:27] <TJ-> herrkin: hmmm, something weird about that out-of-tree driver then
[13:28] <Guest4550> ?
[13:29] <vanceX> Guest4550: Wine isn't really an Ubuntu support issue, have you looked for a Wine Channel?
[13:29] <Guest4550> it's not official wine
[13:29] <MonkeyDust> Guest4550  ty #winehq
[13:29] <MonkeyDust> Guest4550  try #winehq
[13:32] <TJ-> herrkin: did you get the rt2860 driver from the restricted repo, or download/build it from ralink yourself?
[13:33] <UserUS> Is it possible to add a LVM to the boot list in a EUFI boot?
[13:33] <TJ-> UserUS: you mean a kernel on an LVM LV? no
[13:33] <TJ-> UserUS: if you're booting via GRUB then yes
[13:33] <UserUS> yes
[13:33] <herrkin> TJ-, its what I said,  I had that driver installed from 14lts when I upgraded to 16lts it worked but I tried installing restricted extras and I didn't work anymore.
[13:34] <UserUS> the host machine boots into refind and the LVM LV is grub
[13:34] <herrkin> then I installed the other one
[13:34] <herrkin> TJ-, RT3290
[13:35] <EriC^^> UserUS: why dont you do refind > grub efi file
[13:35] <Nilesh_> how to resize the root partition of ubuntu?
[13:35] <Nilesh_> I need to extend it
[13:35] <UserUS> Eric^^: I do?
[13:35] <herrkin> TJ-, the one that I installed manually was RT3290
[13:35] <EriC^^> Nilesh_: delete the partition and recreate it larger at the same starting sector, then resize the fs
[13:35] <EriC^^> Nilesh_: what's after the partition?
[13:35] <MonkeyDust> Nilesh_  backup first ... with a live cd/usb, use gparted
[13:36] <UserUS> but the LVM is inside a ubuntu distro installed on the machne
[13:36] <TJ-> herrkin: right, where did the working driver come from? I want to look atits source. We have 2 tools reporting its name as rt2860 but both commands to give us info about rt2860 cannot find it.
[13:36] <EriC^^> UserUS: yeah use grub on the efi partition
[13:36] <EriC^^> to boot the rest as usual
[13:36] <UserUS> grub boots ubuntu, but refind loads first to show bootable UUID's
[13:36] <Nilesh_> ok thanks
[13:37] <herrkin> TJ-, yes I think this is why I had to install the later. after I installed the restricted extras there was no way to lift the wlan0 device anymor
[13:38] <vanceX> Nilesh: what is adjacent to your root partition?
[13:38] <herrkin> TJ-, I have the script here, where can I send it to you so you can see it?
[13:40] <TJ-> herrkin: hang on , let's try another way to get the driver filename: "pastebinit <( ls /sys/module/ )"
[13:41] <rahuldev> Hi I have 2gb Ram and Intel Dual core processor, What will you like to prefer me to install 32 bit or 64 bit ubuntu?
[13:41] <herrkin> TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/16172024/
[13:42] <MonkeyDust> rahuldev  if the hardware is 64 bit capble, use 64 bit
[13:42] <MonkeyDust> rahuldev  if you're not sure, use 32 bit
[13:43] <vanceX> rahuldev: I'd use 32bit unless you're a chrome browser user
[13:43] <rahuldev> MonkeyDust, thanks I think it's 64bit capable processor.
[13:43] <MonkeyDust> rahuldev  for low hardware specs, there's lubuntu or xubuntu
[13:44] <rahuldev> lubuntu or xubuntu never tried I'll try that.
[13:44] <vervet> rahuldev: put openbox on that baby, it'll fly, my idle is at 200mb
[13:46] <rahuldev> vervet, thanks openbox is like gnome and kde, not os
[13:46] <vervet> rahuldev: that's right, lubuntu would be the closest, and then you could strip from then on if necessary -- openbox is lxde's window manager
[13:47] <TJ-> herrkin: strange, lspci and the kernel log show the active module as rt2860 but that suggests it is "rt3290sta"
[13:47] <TJ-> herrkin: let's see "pastebinit <( modinfo rt3290sta )"
[13:48] <rahuldev> vervet, I'll try it for fun, if work great then I'll stay with it. thanks
[13:48] <herrkin> TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/16172184/
[13:48] <vervet> rahuldev: good luck
[13:53] <n25351> ciao
[13:53] <TJ-> herrkin: it looks like there's a version of the rt3290sta driver updated for 16.04, see comment #201 onwards in bug 1049466
[13:53] <Sbur> Where do I go to get support with "Cheese", the program to record a video with the webcam?
[13:54] <TJ-> herrkin: it looks like, if you currently have working Bluetooth, that driver might have problems with BT, although its not clear what the issues are
[13:57] <herrkin> TJ-, I dont think this machine has a bluetooth. I never used it. or saw the option in either windows or ubuntu
[13:57] <herrkin> I have had this machine for more than a year
[13:58] <demvun> Hi everybody!
[13:58] <F4ncy> hi there, I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 with VNC. I'm using XFCE as the desktop enviroment, and I wanted to change the resolution. Display says "Unable to query the version of the RandR extension being used." Is there a fix to this problem?
[13:59] <Sbur> I am trying to record an audio/visual movie with my webcam and "Cheese".  No sound comes forth.  What am I doing wrong?
[14:00] <demvun> Ubuntu 16.04 have many problems. Ubuntu creators give us many bugs
[14:01] <demvun> Sorry, i don't know english very well
[14:01] <Hydr0p0nX> Sbur - does the webcan support audio ?
[14:02] <Sbur> Hydr0p0nX: I think so, but how to check that out?
[14:02] <Hydr0p0nX> F4ncy: Are you using the radeon driver by chance ?
[14:02] <Sbur> is there a command line to check it out?
[14:02] <Hydr0p0nX> Sbur: what camera is it ?
[14:02] <TJ-> herrkin: it does have bluetooth - it was listed by "lspci"
[14:03] <demvun> Sbur, try use this webcam on another computer
[14:03] <TJ-> herrkin: so that comment #201 about the bluetooth driver might give you working BT at last :)
[14:03] <Sbur> Hydr0p0nX: It's built by logitech, but I don't see the model number
[14:04] <Sbur> demvun: The only other computer that I have at the house is a very old laptop that someone asked me to help with ... Pentium 4, gotta be at least 10 yrs old the laptop
[14:04] <TJ-> Sbur: check for sound device with "aplay -l"
[14:05] <TJ-> Sbur: if there is a webcam microphone it'd likely be connected via USB
[14:05] <herrkin> TJ-, I am confused
[14:05] <TJ-> herrkin: not the only one :)
[14:05] <herrkin> TJ-, that wifi chip is also a bluetooth?
[14:05] <Sbur> TJ-: It's usb and it has a hole on the top, something that seems to say micro
[14:06] <TJ-> herrkin: according to your "lspci -nn" output, yes, it was listed after the 3290
[14:06] <TJ-> Sbur: but is the microphone reported by the audio sub-system? check "aplay -l"
[14:07] <herrkin> so TJ-, isn't it easier to tell the manager to lift the eno1 card up?
[14:07] <herrkin> I dont know I am just guessing
[14:07] <TJ-> herrkin: that issue is a bug in the driver you have installed; it should bring the link up automatically
[14:07] <herrkin> hm..
[14:08] <asianboiHP> Question: When is Ubuntu for Windows releasing?
[14:08] <herrkin> I think I will keep it like that untill I have another computer so I can uninstall it
[14:08] <MonkeyDust> asianboiHP  meaning?
[14:08] <Sbur> *** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC1200 Analog [ALC1200 Analog]   Subdevices: 1/1   Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 3: ALC1200 Digital [ALC1200 Digital]   Subdevices: 1/1   Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
[14:08] <asianboiHP> the linux command line for windows
[14:08] <herrkin> and remain online to talk to you TJ-
[14:08] <MonkeyDust> asianboiHP  andLinux can do that
[14:09] <asianboiHP> ah, thanks :)
[14:09] <MonkeyDust> asianboiHP  http://www.andlinux.org/
[14:09] <herrkin> I mean that I cannot play with the driver now because I will lose connection and I don't have another machine to log into this channel.
[14:10] <Sbur> TJ-: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/16172731/
[14:11] <TJ-> herrkin: right, I think you'll have to live with it for now, but do some research on the updated driver, and maybe add a comment to the bug report since it is still a problem for the Linux module not working but claiming the device
[14:12] <Hydr0p0nX> Sbur - looks like the microsphone isn't being picked up, can you pastebin the output of lsusb -v ?
[14:12] <alkisg> TJ-, Sbur: aplay -l, or arecord -l ?
[14:16] <vanceX> Sbur: Open alsamixer in terminal and check to see if Mic has been auto-muted
[14:19] <TJ-> He quit 5 minutes ago
[14:19] <herrkin> TJ-, I am trying the bluetooth. it says no adapter found.
[14:20] <TJ-> alkisg: yeah, should have been 'arecord -l' , duh!
[14:20]  * alkisg also needed sudo to get a list there
[14:20] <TJ-> herrkin: is that after installing that rtbth driver?
[14:21] <dmml> hii

[14:32] <kristian_on_linu> hi all
[14:32] <Guest14889> MonkeyDust Come on man I need that for some neccesarry project
[14:32] <kristian_on_linu> I installed kernel 4.6.0-rc5 on 14.04.4 LTS because my wifi keeps dropping ... it seems to fix the wifi, but I can't login!
[14:33] <cfhowlett> Guest14889, knock it off!  this is not your private channel
[14:33] <Guest14889> Does anyone know why ubuntu consumes more resources than other OS (Windows, MacOS, etc.) ?
[14:34] <Guest14889> Resources (say, power, memory, etc.)
[14:34] <jpmh> Guest14889, generally MUCH LESS
[14:34] <josspyker> go away Guest14889
[14:34] <cfhowlett> ask ##linux Guest14889
[14:34] <Guest14889> jmph: LOL
[14:34] <jpmh> josspyker, is he a troll?  I just arrived, and maybe should not have answered
[14:34] <josspyker> he is
[14:35] <cfhowlett> yes
[14:35] <jpmh> ok, he is blocked now, thanks josspyker and appologies to others for feeding the troll.  Sad that they can't get a life
[14:35] <IRCSource_68109> hello
[14:36] <IRCSource_68109> hi?
[14:36] <alkisg> Hi
[14:39] <TJ-> herrkin: the bluetooth application only reports devices that have working drivers; as I've said several times 'lspci' reports the device, and it shows no driver has claimed it. comment #201 on the bug report gives a link to an rtbth driver that apparently will drive it
[14:39] <herrkin> ok
[14:47] <fortean_dad> afternoon all - do we have any 16.04 dvd-enabling gurus here?
[14:48] <MonkeyDust> fortean_dad  ask your question and wait
[14:48] <effectnet> i want to send a link to a windows machine.  what do you guys use for stuff like that?  an instant messanger?
[14:48] <SCHAAP137> fortean_dad: https://help.ubuntu.com/16.04/ubuntu-help/video-dvd-restricted.html
[14:48] <fortean_dad> MonkeyDust: rgr that.
[14:49] <fortean_dad> trying to enable dvd playback on 16.04 using instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/16.04/ubuntu-help/video-dvd-restricted.html
[14:49] <fortean_dad> each time i get to sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh i get a 'command not found' message and get no further - any ideas?
[14:51] <Trangar> effectnet, I usually have skype running on multiple machines, or teamviewer
[14:52] <SCHAAP137> fortean_dad, try: sudo apt install libdvd-pkg
[14:52] <alkisg> effectnet: join irc (from e.g. a web browser) to the other machine and PM it
[14:52] <fortean_dad> SCHAAP137: i've done it already but will do it again
[14:52] <effectnet> heh alkisg  k thx
[14:53] <fortean_dad> SCHAAP137: yeah it's at the newest version
[14:54] <SCHAAP137> tested with a DVD?
[14:54] <SchrodingersScat> effectnet: if you install something like pidgin on both, then they should be able to find each other using the bonjour protocol. you could also use putty on the windows machine to get to a shell  on the linux machine
[14:54] <fortean_dad> SCHAAP137: yeah tried 2, using onboard video? app and vlc - no joy with either
[14:55] <effectnet> oh nice i'll try the bonjour thing
[14:55] <effectnet> every single im now wants your name, phone number, and to call you and verify
[14:55] <effectnet> i can't stand that
[14:56] <jedygabriel> sup guys
[14:56] <jedygabriel> anyone there
[14:56] <jedygabriel> ?
[14:56] <recon_lap> hi all, trying to track down a script that is running in my root shell when I boot to rescue mode, it leaves this in the bash_history file. http://pastebin.com/1AiH3aka , anyone able to suggest how to find this file?
[14:57] <lerome> I can't believe that there's no source on upgrading my gnome
[14:57] <lerome> from 3.10 to the latest
[14:57] <TJ-> effectnet: why not just install the apache2 web-server, enable its userdir module, and then put the data/files in $HOME/public_html/ on Linux and use the Windows web browser to go to "http://linux-pc/~your-username"
[14:58] <lerome> none of the dudes on #gnome are helping
[14:58] <alkisg> recon_lap: are you sure that's a script and not the history of previous commands you've ran in the past?
[14:58] <jedygabriel> how to disconnect from this server?
[14:58] <Inocuous> I asked this earlier but I was really sure of the answer, so I'll ask again. When I'm using workspaces, in the standard config, 4 spaces, is it in the design of the software to move programs from one space to the other by dragging.
[14:58] <jedygabriel> from irssi
[14:58] <effectnet> TJ-, hmm k i'll check it
[14:58] <jedygabriel> help
[14:59] <vervet> recon_lap: have you tried to grep for any of that content on /?
[14:59] <MonkeyDust> recon_lap  very basic way ... grep -r "cat /var/log/auth.log" *
[14:59] <akik> recon_lap: that looks like root's .bash_history(?)
[15:00] <MonkeyDust> vervet  was faster
[15:00] <TJ-> effectnet: all it needs is "sudo apt install apache2; sudo a2enmod userdir; mkdir $HOME/public_html; chmod 0755 $HOME/public_html" and then put your files in that directory
[15:00] <recon_lap> alkisg: the system reboot every time I open the shell unless I issue a "shutdown -c", and I never rifled through my security files so efficiently. I've tried grep, but by grep FU not strong enough. private folders error messages drown out useful hits
[15:01] <alkisg> recon_lap: the actual issue that you have might be completely unrelated to root's bash_history
[15:01] <recon_lap> and /etc/printcap kills grep totally
[15:01] <r__n> is reboot supposed to be broken after 16.04 upgrade?
[15:02] <r__n> so far I've had this happen on all the boxes I've upgraded
[15:02] <vervet> recon_lap: you could try it with sudo and 2> /dev/null
[15:02] <r__n> reboot
[15:02] <r__n>    Failed to start reboot.target: Connection timed out
[15:02] <r__n> See system logs and 'systemctl status reboot.target' for details.
[15:02] <recon_lap> alkisg: that script is a big issue.
[15:02] <alkisg> recon_lap: did some other person gain access to your system a while ago?
[15:02] <recon_lap> vervet: this is in the root rescue shell
[15:02] <NET||abuse> hi folks, i'm running a 4x6TB btrfs array, for about 9 months now, one issue i have is i've no idea how to see the health of the disks. how do i know if the btrfs volume goes into some broken state? And how to see when i need to replace a disk?
[15:02] <TJ-> recon_lap: did you delete /root/.bash_history and it was recreated?
[15:02] <alkisg> recon_lap: the root rescue shell is the same as the root shell on a booted system. It's just the root account
[15:02] <recon_lap> alkisg: no, but looks like something did gain access
[15:02] <MonkeyDust> NET||abuse  btrfs has its own channel
[15:03] <NET||abuse> MonkeyDust, ohh, ok, didn't know that.
[15:03] <alkisg> recon_lap: I don't think any script would "cat README". It looks like it was a user that did that.
[15:03] <recon_lap> alkisg: I'll check, I'll delete the bash_history and reboot
[15:03] <elichai2> hey
[15:04] <alkisg> recon_lap: ls -l /etc/sudoers
[15:04] <alkisg> See the date there
[15:04] <alkisg> visudo was the one of the last commands he ran
[15:04] <elichai2> if i find some app in unity search how can I know it's path?
[15:04] <MonkeyDust> NET||abuse  simply type /j #btrfs
[15:04] <alkisg> recon_lap: also, better mv it elsewhere instead of deleting it, for auditing reasons
[15:06] <TJ-> recon_lap: sounds like you have a reboot command in the /root/.bashrc or /root/.profile
[15:07] <recon_lap> alkisg: ok, the history is different now, but the shell is still auto rebooting
[15:07] <alkisg> recon_lap: when does it reboot? when you login as root? or even when it just boots normally?
[15:07] <alkisg> Also check what TJ- said
[15:08] <archer121> hey, I just upgraded my ubuntu gnome from 14.04 to 16.04 dev version. So It boots up, but fails to load the GUI. I can start the qui by loging into a different VT and running startx. What should I do?
[15:08] <fortean_dad> gotta go afk
[15:08] <recon_lap> alkisg: system wont boot normally , when I boot into recovery mode is reboot after about 60 seonds
[15:09] <alkisg> recon_lap: ok, try: grep -rw reboot /root
[15:09] <alkisg> Or shutdown etc
[15:09] <alkisg> Or in /etc/profile.d etc etc
[15:09] <TJ-> recon_lap: alkisg could be a system service incorrectly configured too
[15:11] <TJ-> recon_lap: there may be some indication of what triggered that last shutdown/reboot in /var/log/syslog, too
[15:12] <GreenDay> hello
[15:12] <Jakey3> I keep seeing a small grey screen pop when i open a tab in firefox on lubuntu, should I be suspiscious about this
[15:12] <Jakey3> it pos up very quickly then disaapearsa
[15:12] <Jakey3> *pops
[15:12] <recon_lap> alkisg: sry, I appear to be stuck in the reboot loop again, shutdown -h is not stopping it
[15:12] <Jakey3> didnt notice this happening before
[15:13] <alkisg> recon_lap: you can press "e" in grub and put init=/bin/bash in the kernel cmdline
[15:13] <alkisg> Or use a live cd
[15:18] <Zulu_Too> Check this link: http://askubuntu.com/questions/53263/shut-down-computer-from-keyboard
[15:20] <recon_lap> nothing showing up in /var/log/syslog since yesterday when the system went unstable.
[15:20] <Tin_man> anyone tried the kubuntu 16.04 yet? Seems to me they went backwards. I've only tested it about an hour, I could not  find my way around worth a darn. Wanted to place a few icon's on the desktop, and these's horrible square icon's were placed at the top, couldn't find a was to make them transparent, but like I said only played around about an hour.  I'll stick with 14.04..
[15:22] <alkisg> recon_lap: what's the date of /etc/sudoers?
[15:22] <dbugger> Hello everyone. I am using a 3rd party system to read the logs on my servers, but it does not seem to be working. I get the following error: "pam_unix(sshd:auth): authentication failure". What could be going on?
[15:22] <k1l> Tin_man: for constructive critics or support you might want to ask in #kubuntu . but for rantings you better use your own blog instead of demotivating volunteers
[15:23] <Tin_man> not trying to start a blog, just wondered if anyone else had tried it.. I'll try over on kubuntu..
[15:23] <recon_lap> dbugger: your 3rd party app does not have permission to read the log files
[15:24] <dbugger> recon_lap, the only instructions I got was to change the "/etc/rsyslog.conf"... That is weird
[15:25] <Frjd> How do can you find out if you need to use sdparm or hdparm (if I have a SCSI drive or regular hard drive)?
[15:26] <El_Capitano> howdy
[15:27] <recon_lap> alkisg: date on sudoers is apr 2nd , which seem about right
[15:28] <C_minus> I am trying to put Lubuntu on an old dell dekstop to inject some life into it. The live USB gets as far as the "Installer boot menu" but when I wish to "try without installing" or "install" I jsut see a blinking cursor for infinity.
[15:29] <recon_lap> dbugger: check what user permissions you app is running with and see if that user has acces to the log files
[15:29] <C_minus> Under "Advanced options" there are no options. Only a link back to the main "Installer boot menu".
[15:29] <C_minus> The computer currently has Windows XP.
[15:30] <El_Capitano> C_minus, what's the spec of that Dell?
[15:30] <TJ-> C_minus: did you verify the ISO image's checksum?
[15:30] <alkisg> recon_lap: then the bash_history seems unrelated to your issue
[15:32] <jpmh> at the shell I can do echo $UID and I do indeed get my UID, why do I not see that value on the output from env?  Where does echo $UID get it from?
[15:32] <C_minus> TJ I can't find a place where the checksum is listed
[15:32] <TJ-> !checksum | C_minus
[15:33] <alkisg> jpmh: special bash variable, it's not there if you run e.g. /bin/sh
[15:33] <alkisg> Not all variables are exported to the environment
[15:33] <TJ-> C_minus: the checksum files are in the same place the ISO images are, e.g. SHA1SUMS or MD5SUMS at http://releases.ubuntu.com/xenial/
[15:34] <jpmh> alkisg, ty - makes complete sense
[15:34] <ubuntu-mate> oo
[15:34] <recon_lap> alkisg: yep, think I just spooked myself. system is still fried. guess enabling the nvida drivers and intel micro code was a bad idea
[15:34] <ubuntu-mate> oo god
[15:35] <alkisg> recon_lap: get a shell there either with init=/bin/bash or with a live cd
[15:35] <C_minus> TJ: Checksum is good. El Capitano: It's a Dell Optiplex 770L, 512MB RAM, Celeron (can't remember the clock speed i'll look it up).
[15:36] <TJ-> recon_lap: is it a laptop? could the battery be reporting 0% full and the system doing an auto-shutdown, but an ACPI bug turns that into a restart?
[15:36] <Kimse> #/J ubuntu-server
[15:36] <TJ-> C_minus: OK, so is the image on the USB itself good too? We see a lot of issues with corrupted USB images. Did you try the "Check disk" or whatever option on the boot menu?
[15:36] <Kimse> sorry
[15:36] <recon_lap> TJ-: no, it's a desktop
[15:37] <recon_lap> booting with a liveUSB
[15:37] <segf4ult> is there a good way to image an SD card with various partitions?
[15:38] <alkisg> Dump all of it? sudo dd if=/dev/sdb of=file
[15:38] <TJ-> segf4ult: if you want it verbatim "sudo dd if=/dev/sdX of=sdX-image.bin bs=100M" (bs==blocksize==faster transfer)
[15:38] <segf4ult> alkisg: let's say I have a 16GB card, will it only dump the partitions with data?
[15:38] <alkisg> No, it will dump all of it
[15:39] <alkisg> I think clonezilla has support for partial dumps
[15:39] <k1l> segf4ult: dd will make a 1to1 copy of the bits. so you can mount the partitions inside that iso afterwards
[15:39] <segf4ult> k1l: I am quite aware, however I do not need all 16GB dumped
[15:40] <k1l> segf4ult: you can dd single partitions only. if you specify them with dd if=/dev/sdb2 of=file.img
[15:40] <TJ-> segf4ult: with 'dd' the option "conv=sparse" should convert NUL blocks (all zeros) into seeks in the target file, which will reduce the usage
[15:40] <recon_lap> alkisg: ok, got usb boot, can see the system drive. how do i disable property drivers?
[15:40] <C_minus> TJ I'll try that too. :S "Check disk for defects" just ends up showing me a blank screen.
[15:40] <TJ-> C_minus: then I think the USB image is corrupt :)
[15:40] <DeM0nFiRe> Hello, I am having issues with the screen repeatedly flashing black. Not even sure where to begin looking to figure out why, any ideas? Wasn't happening with 15.10 only happens with 16.04
[15:41] <TJ-> DeM0nFiRe: check /var/log/kern.log for any GPU driver error/glitch messages
[15:41] <ioria> C_minus you can edit the kernel line, replacing  'quite splash' with 'nomodeset'
[15:41] <DeM0nFiRe> Ok thanks I'll take a look
[15:41] <segf4ult> TJ-: if I use conv=sparse, do I need to do something to make it writable with dd again?
[15:42] <C_minus> ioria: hey man, yeah I read about that. I'm not sure where in the boot sequence I am able to do that, and how.
[15:42] <TJ-> segf4ult: no, the 'sparse' option should just cause the file-system the file is written to to mark the NUL blocks so it doesn't actaully assign real blocks to them. reading the file will show all NULs for those blocks just like the original
[15:42] <ioria> C_minus at the main menu,  press f6 then esc, or 'e'
[15:42] <segf4ult> TJ-: but then, if I have 2 partitions and a lot of unallocated space, it should only read the 2 partitions
[15:42] <segf4ult> TJ-: right?
[15:44] <TJ-> segf4ult: *if* those sectors contain all-zeros yes, but if the file-systems had data but it was deleted then it would get copied too since it is unlikely to be all zeros. Likewise if the source is an encrypted device since it'll look like random data
[15:44] <C_minus> ioria: OK, pressing F6 and esc made a single prompt appear saying "boot: " with a blinking cursor. Then after a while it reverted to the main menu again.
[15:44] <segf4ult> TJ-: is there a clean way to truncate the image at the point the second partition ends?
[15:44] <ioria> C_minus highlight 'try ubuntu' then press 'e'
[15:45] <C_minus> ioria, unfortunately this has no effect
[15:45] <ioria> C_minus  with f6 what you got ?
[15:46] <k1l> segf4ult: when you do the math and use bs and count
[15:46] <C_minus> F6 on its own didn't do anything, my computer just beeped. F6 + esc brought up that "boot: " prompt.
[15:46] <TJ-> segf4ult: you'd need to calculate the last sector index you want to copy, and provide 'dd' with a 'count=' value *and* alter bs= so that bs * count == total number of bytes you want to copy.
[15:46] <segf4ult> k1l: so, fdisk should tell me what sector it ends at, if I set bs to the sector size, I can just use that figure, I suppose
[15:47] <TJ-> ioria: it's not GRUB, it's isolinux, there's no 'edit' facility
[15:47] <ioria> C_minus Tj- o really ? sorry
[15:47] <k1l> segf4ult: and use count to reach that point, yes.
[15:47] <ioria> C_minus try a standard lubuntu iso, maybe
[15:48] <TJ-> segf4ult: correct, although when bs=sector-size the transfer will be slow. I generally take the total size and divide it by my preferred bs=100M and set count to that + 1
[15:48] <segf4ult> k1l: awesome :) thanks
[15:48] <TJ-> C_minus: i think it's pretty certain the USB image is corrupt and you should re-write the ISO image to it
[15:49] <C_minus> ioria - how do you mean? it's the one on lubuntu's "downloads" page. cool, will try that. see yall later, thanks for the help everybody
[15:49] <TJ-> segf4ult: I saw a neat tool recently that does all this but cannot remember what it was!
[15:49] <ioria> C_minus so you should have Grub ....
[15:49] <DeM0nFiRe> Dont seem to see anything related to GPU or display in kern.log
[15:49] <segf4ult> TJ-: that's a shame
[15:50] <ioria> C_minus i got it. try with dd or linuxpendrive to create the media
[15:51] <segf4ult> TJ-: I could also just read the full 16GB, then post-truncate with (end-sector+1)*sector_size
