[00:00] <squinty> bluesfreak72,  where you playing around with your video drivers too?
[00:00] <bluesfreak72> squinty: I think I may have borked them.
[00:00] <dio> that is what I did squinty
[00:03] <squinty> bluesfreak72,  so you may need to reinstall the video driver too then.  might be an idea just to do a quick reboot and use the nomodeset to see if you can get into your desktop   others hear my other suggestions too
[00:03] <dio> i agree
[00:04] <bluesfreak72> It's been a while since I messed with grub.  How do I stop the bootloader and choose nomodeset?
[00:04] <dio> umm mine just pops up
[00:05] <dio> but I'm dual boot
[00:05] <bluesfreak72> dio:  I'm not dual boot.
[00:05] <bluesfreak72> I can do ctrl-alt-f1 to get a login shell.
[00:05] <squinty> bluesfreak72,   hold down shift key after the computer boot splash screen   that will bring up the grub menu.   highlight your first entry and then press the e key.
[00:06] <jmw> Anyone have any experience with VMWare Workstation Pro running under Ubuntu?  Just kind of wondering if anyone has any first person thoughts on the general performance under Linux.
[00:06] <dio> yeah that is shell you don't want that yet
[00:06] <ubuntu-mate> hola
[00:07] <squinty> bluesfreak72,  at the line that says "quiet splash"  add nomodset
[00:07] <squinty> nomodeset   that is
[00:07] <bluesfreak72> squinty:  Holding shift down does nothing.  I only have a purple screen and then it tries to go into lightdm.
[00:07] <daniel331> hi all. having a problem with my audio on an hp spectre laptop. worked fine up till now. for some reason the audio device has vanished from the prefs area and I cant get audio thru the speakers or headphones
[00:08] <squinty> bluesfreak72,  may have to use the escape key then (iirc, needed for uefi boxs)
[00:08] <dio> daniel331 on an odd note does your headphone jack have a little switch build into it?
[00:09] <dio> I had one laptop that did the same thing it was just a stuck switch for the headphones
[00:10] <daniel331> dio: good point. its a new laptop so I wouldnt have noticed. but... ah... no? I dont think so?
[00:10] <dio> ok. so that is the easy stuff out of the way
[00:10] <dio> does alsa mixer pix anything up in terminal
[00:11] <dio> just type alsamixer in terminal Ctrl+Alt+T will open terminal
[00:11] <bluesfreak72> squinty: I don't have uefi enabled in the bios.
[00:12] <squinty> bluesfreak72,  hmmm  holding shift key should work then
[00:13] <bluesfreak72> squinty: I'll check the bios to make sure.
[00:13] <Guest16637> I'm trying out IRC for the first time
[00:13] <Guest16637> y
[00:13] <daniel331> running alsamixer atm but not entirely sure how to interpet it. I did some weird things that never worked involving pulse audio streaming a long time ago and I stream thru bluetooth to a pair of speakers sometimes. long story short: my audi prefs ussually has four devices in it (2 for pa streaming, 1 for bt, and for 1 the physical sound card) so I think alsaxmiser might be pickuing up one of those. IN ANY CASE it was a whi
[00:13] <daniel331> le ago that the pa network stuff was going on, it never went anywhere, and it never made my sound card disapear before!
[00:14] <daniel331> however now I get three more devices ive never seen before appearing intermittently as a result of running  alsamixer. but they go away again after a few seconds. is that normal?
[00:14] <dio> yeah that is odd. I wish I could help more but I need to run. Hope someone here can help you
[00:14] <bluesfreak72> squinty: uefi boot is disabled.
[00:14] <daniel331> thanks dio
[00:14] <dio> sorry but you are welcome
[00:15] <bluesfreak72> squinty: I have tried holding the left shift - and then the next time holding the right shift.  The boot just keeps plugging along.
[00:16] <squinty> bluesfreak72,  wireless keyboard?  maybe try usb or ps2 keyboard
[00:17] <bluesfreak72> squinty: I don't have a usb keyboard and the laptop doesn't have a ps2 port.
[00:17] <daniel331> so basically alsamixer gives me lots of different options? 3x S/PDIF outputs, an "Default", and an "HDMI output".
[00:17] <daniel331> I think that means the sound card isnt detected atall? ( I think the HDMI output is actually a chip built into the onboard graphics card)
[00:17] <squinty> bluesfreak72,  ahhh laptop  never mind then
[00:17] <daniel331> not sure what the S/PDIFs are all about ,, maybe pulseaudio network virtual devices
[00:18] <bluesfreak72> squinty:  It's an Asus N53SN.
[00:19] <squinty> bluesfreak72,  did you try reinstalling your video drivers?  maybe someone else could offer suggestions as I am running out of time here  :)
[00:20] <bluesfreak72> squinty: I'll try that.  If it doesn't work, I'm probably going to reinstall and not install any other window managers/desktop environments.
[00:20] <daniel331> can anyone else help me with my sound card not being recognised issue?
[00:21] <squinty> bluesfreak72,  not to fond of mixing desktops either myself....been in similar circumstances as you are now  lol
[00:23] <bluesfreak72> squinty: I just started up with ubuntu before.  The last time I messed with ubuntu was when they were still using gnome.
[00:23] <bluesfreak72> I should say I just started up with ubuntu again.
[00:24] <ruvenss> good old times
[00:25] <squinty> bluesfreak72,  if you do end up reinstalling, you might just want to grab ubuntu gnome 16.04 beta which just came out.
[00:25] <TTTA_> can anyone point me towards a fix for a second moniter not showing up?
[00:26] <bluesfreak72> squinty: I don't do alpha or beta.  I've been burned doing that before.
[00:26] <TTTA_> UBUNTU 14.04.4, using two DVI ports, NVidia GTX970, tried a few different drivers
[00:27] <squinty> bluesfreak72,  yeah i hear on that note! lol   anyways better get back to work here.  ttyl
[00:27] <bluesfreak72> squinty:  I'm waving the white flag.  Thanks for the suggestions.
[00:27] <squinty> bluesfreak72,  yw :)
[00:27] <bluesfreak72> Have a great night everybody!!!
[00:36] <Hulio> guys, i have issue when trying to run vmware workstation, it said, GNU C Compiler (gcc) version 5.2.1 was not found
[00:36] <Hulio> what to do?
[00:37] <Hulio> is help on the way?
[00:38] <Hulio> will this do it? sudo apt-get install --reinstall gcc
[00:39] <Bashing-om> !info gcc wily
[00:39] <Hulio> sudo apt-get install --reinstall gcc  <-- do it :)
[00:39] <Hulio> nevermind, it is working
[00:40] <daniel331> does anyone know why my sound card might not be recognised any more? :-)
[00:49] <Hulio> anyone know in vmware i got this error: Unable to change virtual machine power state: Internal error
[00:49] <Hulio> anyone?
[00:51] <somsip> Hulio: try: http://platonic.techfiz.info/2011/09/fix-vmware-workstation-unable-to-change-virtual-machine-power-state-internal-error/
[00:51] <Hulio> somsip, i tried it, vmware-vmx: no process found
[00:51] <Hulio> nothing to kill
[00:54] <Hulio> last one, is there GUI text editor for ubuntu?
[00:54] <Hulio> i want to open up text editor
[00:55] <k1l> gedit
[00:58] <daniel331> there areno
[00:58] <daniel331> there are no text editors for ubuntu, sorry. it's a known weakness in the linux ecosystem.
[00:58] <k1l> daniel331: what?
[00:59] <daniel331> joke. if there's one thing linux has no shortage of, its text editors. ;-)
[00:59] <daniel331> sorry
[00:59] <Hulio> no matter what i do i can't get vmware to start:
[00:59] <Hulio> Unable to change virtual machine power state: Internal error
[01:01] <k1l> Hulio: "sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all"
[01:03] <Hulio> k1l, same thing: sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
[01:03] <Hulio> nothing, still issue
[01:03] <Hulio> i am running ubuntu mate 15.10
[01:03] <k1l> well, then ask vmware for support.
[01:04] <Hulio> maybe i should go for ubuntu 14.04LTS mate
[01:04] <Hulio> that is what i would
[01:05] <Dr-007> good evening, i cant boot into my ubuntu. ive tried various things now. i turned off the "secure boot" in my bios. booted from my USB then mounted the installed partition chrooted into that and installed grub. it said it was adding a new profile and it listed linux and windows
[01:06] <Dr-007> but then i restart and i never get presented a choice what OS i want to load
[01:06] <Dr-007> ive got an UEFI bios, i tried the legacy option aswell, but that didnt do anything at all
[01:09] <uchua> Does it have secure boot?
[01:17] <reisio> does it blend
[01:20] <daniel331> can someone *please help me* with my sound card problem? I tried uninstalling pulseaudio following a guide online. display went black thenlogged me out. now I cant log in again. dropped to a different vt, says pulseaudio is still installed. really worried I fscked up my system. halp?
[01:26] <reisio> daniel331: say what you ran
[01:26] <daniel331> apt-get remove --purge pulseaudi
[01:26] <daniel331> *pulseaudio
[01:29] <Jef91> What is the best way to verify my nvidia drivers are properly installed / being used? Trying to figure out if a game not loading is a driver issue or a wine issue.
[01:29] <ToeSnacks> is there a place to see a quick glance of the changes from 15.10 to 16.04?
[01:30] <reisio> Jef91: glxinfo will have some info
[01:30] <Jef91> reisio, what am I looking for in the output
[01:30] <ToeSnacks> also if doing a fresh install this close to 16.04 release is it more advisable to install 15.10 now and upgrade in 2 months or just install 16.04 and run it through alpha/beta?
[01:31] <reisio> Jef91: direct rendering
[01:31] <reisio> Jef91: glxgears will also be useful, you'd be looking for FPS far exceeding what the human eye can even perceive (about 30)
[01:31] <reisio> that is, far greater than 30
[01:32] <reisio> ToeSnacks: I doubt they have compiled that information formally yet, might ask #ubuntu+1
[01:32] <Jef91> glxgears is running at 60fps - so likely means drivers are working?
[01:32] <reisio> ToeSnacks: putting off an update, IMO, is pointless
[01:32] <reisio> ToeSnacks: there are those who would suggest never installing .04 and only doing .10 installs, though
[01:32] <ToeSnacks> why?
[01:32] <reisio> ToeSnacks: presumably they find the former buggy
[01:33] <ToeSnacks> the 04s are the LTS releases
[01:33] <reisio> if that were the case, I would not use such a distro
[01:33] <reisio> ToeSnacks: sorry I think I mean .04.1, vs .04
[01:33] <ToeSnacks> ah
[01:33] <ToeSnacks> so provided the use case is not mission critical 16.04 should be fine to run right now?
[01:37] <k1l> ToeSnacks: if you need to ask dont run betas. if you are fine with a non booting system or other possible issues, then you can isntall the beta and become the regular final release with running the updates
[01:40] <ToeSnacks> k1l: I need to ask because people here use it and know how broken it is. I know it will update, I am asking what degree of brokenness I will be met with.
[01:41] <k1l> ToeSnacks: a beta is quite stable. but again: its a dev release and it can break anytime. so it can be good 2 weeks and then dont boot anymore. that is the risk.
[01:41] <k1l> so the conclusion: if you need to worry about stableness, then dont use development releases.
[01:52] <Bored> hello
[01:53] <reisio> 'lo bored
[01:54] <babitonga> nice
[01:54] <babitonga> reisio, know how to handle UTF8 strings in C?
[01:55] <babitonga> so im bored too
[01:55] <reisio> babitonga: heh, why do you ask?
[01:56] <babitonga> im trying som code
[01:58] <babitonga> ill kill that w/ my nails
[01:58] <babitonga> that scosb
[01:58] <babitonga> my own nails
[01:58] <babitonga> bye
[02:01] <Jef91> I've got an intel intel 8260 on Ubuntu 14.04. Upgraded the kernel to 4.2 so it would work at all - but the connection is slow and sporadic. Any ideas on things I might be able to do to improve it?
[02:01] <amazoniantoad> I'm trying to recover a disk that wont mount. I don't know its filesystem (I think it is NTFS)
[02:01] <amazoniantoad> Can anyone help me?
[02:02] <reisio> Jef91: downgrade kernel? upgrade kernel further?
[02:02] <reisio> amazoniantoad: how're you trying to mount it?
[02:02] <amazoniantoad> reisio, using disks
[02:02] <reisio> amazoniantoad: from a terminal, what does sudo fdisk -l say?
[02:03] <amazoniantoad> reisio, doesn't list it
[02:03] <reisio> amazoniantoad: and disks does?
[02:03] <amazoniantoad> reisio,  I just pressed the power button within disks and it dissapeared
[02:03] <reisio> amazoniantoad: that makes more sense
[02:03] <reisio> amazoniantoad: see if you can get it to show up in fdisk -l output
[02:03] <reisio> unplug/replug, etc.
[02:04] <amazoniantoad> reisio, right right. Trying that now
[02:05] <amazoniantoad> reisio, not showing now
[02:05] <ScorpionJack> I have Ubuntu Server installed on a computer. I wish to be able to start the computer without the monitor turned on. The computer is able to start without a monitor in other operating systems but not Ubuntu Server. How do I resolve this? Some Google search results point to modifying /etc/X11/xorg.conf but that file does not exist.
[02:05] <amazoniantoad> reisio, the disks is powered on
[02:06] <amazoniantoad> reisio, it shows in disks again as a device but not in fdisk
[02:06] <captain_circ> hi guys, how can i fix "Failed to start LSB: QEMU KVM module loading script" on my own?
[02:07] <amazoniantoad> reisio, running mount from terminal
[02:09] <IgnorantFool> Is there anything like the Tweaking.com Windows Repair Program, inside of linux?
[02:10] <captain_circ> this is just bs
[02:12] <dillon> hey guys, I got another question. I am trying to install pcsx2 and I cannot get it to install even through the the software centre
[02:12] <teward> dillon: i assume it's giving you errors?
[02:13] <dillon> it isn't doing anything really and when I tried it via command line all i got is headaches
[02:13] <dillon> lol
[02:25] <uchua> Anybody know if Mir is making an appearance in 16.04?
[02:30] <reisio> uchua: it was at least at one point planned to be part of 16.04, talk to #ubuntu+1
[02:31] <uchua> reisio: Well I mean wasn't it originally planned for 14.04, then 15.04, then 15.10?
[02:31] <reisio> uchua: got me, I don't follow it
[02:31] <reisio> I doubt it will last long, if it's ever included at all
[02:31] <reisio> Ubuntu doesn't have a good track record of being able to resist Debian and larger GNU/Linux community issues
[02:32]  * reisio looks at upstart
[02:32] <uchua> True true
[02:32] <reisio> it simply doesn't have the developers for it, at the moment, AFAIK
[02:32] <uchua> Well I mean, it's no RedHat
[02:32] <reisio> that's okay though, no particular harm keeping themselves busy
[02:33] <reisio> I s'pose it isn't, although they have fairly different purposes/approaches, still, IMO
[02:33] <reisio> Red Hat definitely comes from the server end more
[02:33] <reisio> and Ubuntu from the desktop
[02:33] <reisio> I think Ubuntu wants to do both desktop & server more than Red Hat wants to do both server & desktop
[02:33] <uchua> Yeah but I mean Red Hat has the immense influence to also have spawned Fedora and CentOS
[02:33] <reisio> so that's... interesting
[02:34] <reisio> well, no I don't really see a difference there
[02:34] <reisio> Ubuntu has many derivatives
[02:34] <reisio> it has its own stable branch, in a way, in that Debian exists
[02:34] <uchua> But they are largely of little consequence
[02:34] <reisio> although Debian:Ubuntu and RHEL:Fedora are somewhat reversed relationships
[02:34] <reisio> uchua: what is of consequence in this world? :)
[02:35] <uchua> Microsoft and Cancer.
[02:35] <reisio> :p
[02:36] <uchua> I'm amazed the Ubuntu channel is so dead
[02:37] <james> hi
[02:37] <mattkim> hi
[02:37] <Guest45490> just installed ubuntu mate
[02:37] <mattkim> nice
[02:40] <jim> what's a package with the coreutils and fileutils info pages?
[02:41] <el> hi
[02:41] <jim> hi
[02:45] <hxcjoshuahxc> hey guys so ive got an ubuntu 14.04 server running and recently changed isp's and with that change came a new modem (motorola sb141) my network goes modem>pfsense router/firewall>switch>server/clients... ive noticed that my ssh connections are frequently dropping in the new house regardless of being hooked into the switch or connected to the wireless ap. does anyone know a good scanning utility i can use to try and find where this bug has
[02:45] <hxcjoshuahxc> cropped up? wether its my new isp or my new*(refurbished) modem.
[02:47] <hxcjoshuahxc> seems nmap may be my best option. any familiar with this tool?
[02:48] <cfhowlett> hxcjoshuahxc, #ubuntu-server  perhaps
[02:48] <hxcjoshuahxc> cfhowlett, ill give it a shot thanks friend!
[02:49] <cfhowlett> happy2help!
[02:50] <chilipalmer> Hi, folks! I am looking for a little package info. When I search for something in the Ubuntu Software Center, I often get a result for the package and once for the package as a "metapackage." Based upon the text in the info screeen, I am guessing tha I should prefer the metapackage when there is one. Is that the right way to go or am I missing something?
[02:51] <cfhowlett> chilipalmer, meta package for the win
[02:51] <chilipalmer> Way cool. Many thanks!
[02:58] <jerry_langhun> hi every
[02:59] <SchrodingersScat> hello
[02:59] <AlexSmargle> I think I've broken something rather important on my Ubuntu install.
[02:59] <jerry_langhun> how to fix "dpkg-query: warning: files list file for package 'software-properties-gtk' missing; assuming package has no files currently installed"
[03:00] <Bashing-om> !details | AlexSmargle
[03:01] <AlexSmargle> I was having issues with my wine install so I removed it and once that finished ran apt-get update. Then I got a thing about needing to restart for updates to take effect so I did but now I have a blank desktop with nothing but a curser. I can see menues when I right click and I can open folders but the window doesn't seem to be around them and the dash isn't there.
[03:03] <cristianR> Hi
[03:05] <cristianR> I am doing a minimal installation of 16.04. When I try to install nvidia proprietary drivers it tries to install about 1gb of dependencies. I.E evolution-data-server, or gnome-screensaver
[03:05] <cfhowlett> !ubuntu+1 | cristianR
[03:05] <cristianR> oups
[03:05] <cristianR> moving to ubuntu+1
[03:08] <AlexSmargle> Does anyone have any ideas about my issue? Or a guess as to how I can search for it on the forums? I'm not sure what keywords to use...
[03:08] <mattkim> what's the matter AlexSmargle ?
[03:09] <AlexSmargle> I was having issues with my wine install so I removed it and once that finished ran apt-get update. Then I got a thing about needing to restart for updates to take effect so I did but now I have a blank desktop with nothing but a curser. I can see menues when I right click and I can open folders but the window doesn't seem to be around them and the dash isn't there.
[03:11] <mattkim> well, what about restting unity?
[03:11] <AlexSmargle> How do I do that? Also, isn't there a hotkey for opening a terminal? What is it? I can't remember.
[03:12] <mattkim> generally ctrl alt t
[03:12] <AlexSmargle> It's no opening up one.  It's silly. I can get into folders and the settings but not a terminal.
[03:14] <mattkim> if it doesn't work it is okay, ctrl alt f1 will help you, and ctrl alt f7 will come back to X
[03:14] <AlexSmargle> Okay, I have a command prompt now how do I reset unity?
[03:16] <mattkim> well. I'm not sure, I think um, # dconf reset -f /org/compiz and then #setsid unity
[03:16] <mattkim> and # unity --reset-icons
[03:17] <AlexSmargle> This prompt isn't accepting input.
[03:17] <dfcnvt> I have a script bash file, proj00.sh -- I would be able to run by typing ./prj00.sh in the terminal but on the GUI, inside folder, I have a file prj00.sh -- how do I make it clickable on the file to run the script?
[03:18] <cfhowlett> dfcnvt, right click/properties/
[03:18] <mattkim> AlexSmargle: password won't be shown. it's common
[03:18] <dfcnvt> Then 'Open With' what?
[03:18] <AlexSmargle> I mean it has the blinking spot and does nothing. It hasn't even asked for a password and it's not showing the computer name thing like terminals usually do
[03:18] <Kinderbob> Someone who understand why this file wont run in the ubuntu software center.. Please send me pm if you may help  https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/precise/allvideodownloader/
[03:20] <mattkim> AlexSmargle: oh, that's a... I'm so sorry I have no idea about your issue :(
[03:20] <jushur> dfcnvt: do not set it to auto execute .sh files like that. its very bad. as you open your self up for exploits when doing so. proper way would be to make a .desktop file in that folder and use it to launch it.
[03:20] <AlexSmargle> Me neither. Any ideas on what I should try searching keyword wise?
[03:21] <dfcnvt> cfhowlett: Couldn't find a way to 'Add' for terminal.  It's a shaded button.  http://imgur.com/HvPO7fj
[03:22] <dfcnvt> jushur: Thanks for the concern on security issues.  But I'm not worry about it. I wrote the script.
[03:22] <cfhowlett> dfcnvt, see "permissions:
[03:22] <jushur> dfcnvt: the point is not about that script, its about other scripts.

[03:36] <jushur> django_: could install pavucontrol and use that for some more control over the settings.
[03:37] <cfhowlett> Kinderbob, dpkg -l | grep pastebinit
[03:37] <Kinderbob> I just paste it in terminal..?
[03:38] <cfhowlett> Kinderbob, yep
[03:38] <Kinderbob> ok.. it did not reply anything to the command....
[03:38] <cfhowlett> Kinderbob, and that is the answer.  let's make life easier by installing pastebinit: sudo apt install pastebinit
[03:40] <Kinderbob> wow.. this is exciting... Now it did a lot of stuff...   NOW we can work your original issue
[03:43] <jushur> django_: did you try pavucontrol?
[03:43] <django_> jushur, ill try it now
[03:43] <Kinderbob> OK.. Sweet... I understand you know ur stuff.. :-)
[03:43] <cfhowlett> Kinderbob, let's see your software sources: more etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit
[03:45] <Kinderbob> cfhowlett, OK.. do I paste again..?
[03:45] <cfhowlett> Kinderbob, paste the url here
[03:46] <Kinderbob> I just got this when pasting in terminal  more: stat of etc/apt/sources.list failed: No such file or directory You are trying to send an empty document, exiting.
[03:46] <cfhowlett> THAT would be a serious error ... if true.
[03:46] <cfhowlett> do this exactly : more /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:48] <Kinderbob> Got alot of text just incomprehensible to me...
[03:49] <cfhowlett> Kinderbob, great.  let's paste it.     more /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit

[03:51] <cfhowlett> slow connection ...
[03:52] <Kinderbob> http://paste.ubuntu.com/15249390/
[03:52] <Kinderbob> Ok... Maybe mine is..
[03:52] <cfhowlett> Kinderbob, OK, the allvideodownloader is in the main software repositories and you HAVE the main software repositories.  this should work.  so let's tests again
[03:52] <cfhowlett> sudo apt-get install allvideodownloader | pastebinit
[03:53] <cfhowlett> Kinderbob, actually wait
[03:53] <cfhowlett> Kinderbob, sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade
[03:53] <django_> this is what i see

[03:53] <Kinderbob> E: Unable to locate package allvideodownloader http://paste.ubuntu.com/15249399/
[03:54] <Kinderbob> ran the update i think... :-)
[03:55] <monteiro> ij
[03:55] <Kinderbob> Still im only getting this.... E: Unable to locate package allvideodownloader http://paste.ubuntu.com/15249405/
[03:55] <jushur> django_: so turn it on?
[03:56] <Mr_Sheesh> Trying to change a Win7 machine over to run Ubuntu then run Win7 in VirtualBox on it; Is the usual thing to do for that to partition the HDD into 2 chunks, one for Linux, the other for Windows, or keep it all one chunk? First time doing this and not clear yet
[03:57] <cfhowlett> Kinderbob, found the problem.
[03:57] <Kinderbob> You did.. :-)
[03:57] <jushur> Kinderbob: are you realy on a 15.xx release?
[03:57] <cfhowlett> Kinderbob, allvideodownloader is in a ppa which you must manually authorize
[03:57] <django_> jushur, ??
[03:57] <django_> jushur, i try all the optons and none play sound
[03:57] <jushur> django_: the profile is off?
[03:57] <Kinderbob> Oki..? wich means..?
[03:58] <cfhowlett> jushur, he's on 15.10
[03:58] <cfhowlett> Kinderbob, my search for allvideodownloader on my 14.04 machine:   http://paste.ubuntu.com/15249414/
[03:59] <Kinderbob> Ok... But whats my option then to make it work...?
[03:59] <cfhowlett> jushur, help?
[03:59] <rizi> Hello everyone, i am having truble importing my old GPG keys. I reinstalled my ubuntu and backed up my home directory after the install i copied it back but its not importing.
[04:00] <Kinderbob> Have this old machine, and i use it to excess internet and chat, but it would be nice to salvage some of the top clips documentaries and such you come over at different streams..
[04:01] <cfhowlett> Kinderbob, quick answer: use the firefox videodownloadhelper plugin
[04:01] <Kinderbob> 7 years, but worked like a charm with ubuntu really.. :-)
[04:01] <rizi> tried to import it from thundermail and using command line as well but for some reason its not working or may be i am not using the right commands
[04:01] <jushur> django_: set it to "analog stereo duplex"
[04:01] <Kinderbob> Y.. tried that too... :-(
[04:02] <jushur> Kinderbob: lsb_release -a
[04:02] <Kinderbob> Ill try again.. thanks cfhowlett
[04:02] <cfhowlett> happy2help!  let's us know.
[04:03] <Kinderbob> No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID:	Ubuntu Description:	Ubuntu 15.10 Release:	15.10 Codename:	wily
[04:03] <jushur> Kinderbob: just wanted to be sure you where on what is said :)
[04:03] <jbwiv_> all, I have a machine with a Fedora install on it. it's using full disk encryption with LUKS. Is it possible to decrypt these partitions during an Ubuntu install and install Ubuntu to them?
[04:04] <jushur> jbwiv_: backup your data, do a clean install.
[04:04] <jbwiv_> jushur: is that really the only way?
[04:04] <rizi> any help would appreciated, i have search the web as well but cant find the answer
[04:04] <jushur> jbwiv_: no its not, but its the "sane" way.
[04:05] <jbwiv_> jushur: what's the insane way? ;-)
[04:05] <cfhowlett> jbwiv_, plug n play is not something you can count on when you switch distros like that.
[04:05] <Kinderbob> ok.. but just search web for firefox videodownloadhelper cghowlett,
[04:05] <jushur> jbwiv_: manualy
[04:06] <cfhowlett> Kinderbob, go to firefox plugins and search video dowload.  MANY options.
[04:06] <jbwiv_> cfhowlett: sure, but since luks is sorta the standard for whole-disk/partition encryption, i was hopeful ;)
[04:07] <Kinderbob> cfhowlett, softwarecenter or web..?
[04:07] <jushur> Kinderbob: how about you install youtube-dl ?
[04:07] <jushur> Kinderbob: that is the actuall program?
[04:07] <cfhowlett> Kinderbob, FIREFOX > Tools > Get Add-ons
[04:08] <albratos007> tut
[04:08] <Kinderbob> youtubedl..?
[04:08] <cfhowlett> 419 results for "video download"
[04:08] <budakbaning94> oi
[04:08] <cfhowlett> Kinderbob, youtube-dl will work
[04:08] <django_> jushur, no sound L.
[04:08] <jushur> Kinderbob: also note that youtube-dl works on many sites, not only youtube
[04:08] <albratos007> django
[04:08] <Kinderbob> ois that in software center..?
[04:09] <cfhowlett> Kinderbob, yes
[04:10] <django_> there isnt a way to restore sound to original settings
[04:10] <jushur> django_: have you restarted the machine?
[04:10] <albratos007> sampah
[04:12] <matabola> boo

[04:13] <toaster215> okay
[04:14] <matabola> roger that...
[04:18] <Kinderbob> youtubedl..?cfhowlett, jashur, thank you guys.. You have been most helpfull.. I belive i will resolve it now... Need to restart firefox and see.. :-)

[04:21] <mustu> Hi, I'm trying to install a package from a repo. It's working for other people but not my fresh Ubuntu 14 installation ...
[04:21] <Ben64> mustu: how is it not working
[04:21] <mustu> there seems to be some issue in my ubuntu setup or i'm doing it wrong..
[04:21] <cfhowlett> mustu, what package??
[04:23] <mustu> The repo is added correctly apt-get update doesn't throw any error... it also lists the package in reply to apt-cache show ... but when I try to install it it says "E: Package 'elasticsearch' has no installation candidate"
[04:23] <mustu> it's elasticsearch's official repo for Ubuntu
[04:23] <cfhowlett> mustu, seems to be a ppa as it's not available on my 14.04
[04:24] <dio> elasticsearch I tried installing that to run an ELK stack didn't get very far. :(
[04:24] <mustu> cfhowlett  yes it's a ppa
[04:24] <cfhowlett> !ppa | mustu
[04:25] <mustu> !ppa-purge
[04:25] <Loshki> I see google hits for "How To Install Elasticsearch In Ubuntu", making me wonder if there isn't some trick to it.
[04:25] <dio> https://www.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch could go here and get the DEB
[04:25] <mustu> so this channel doesn't support ppa
[04:25] <cfhowlett> PPA is preferable to a random .deb I think
[04:25] <dio> who's PPA
[04:25] <mustu> manual deb installation is working.. but I want this repo to work.. I asked in elastic forums and it's woking for everyone else there
[04:26] <dio> whats you ubuntu version
[04:26] <cfhowlett> mustu, well as we DO NOT support PPA's, best you consult elasticsearch support.
[04:26] <dio> yeah each PPA is different think of it like shopping in a different store
[04:26] <mustu> i also worked for me few weeks ago.. I've done basic troubleshooting.. repo DNS is resolved properly ... apt is building the cache correctly.. apt-cache show elasticsearch  will return details about the package
[04:27] <dio> strange
[04:27] <dio> id just use the deb
[04:27] <dio> or compile from source
[04:28] <mustu> I can but I want to troubleshoot the repo issue..as it seems weird
[04:28] <dio> I could never get Kibana to resolve and tags so I gave up
[04:28] <Loshki> I agree with dio. 'gdebi the deb' and see if it installs.
[04:29] <mustu> I have tried and deb works perfectly.. I removed that ... coz I need the repo to work
[04:29] <dio> what is different in the repo?
[04:29] <dio> source should give the same result
[04:30] <mustu> dio  I need the repo to work .. that's what's bugging me
[04:30] <Ben64> repository will give updates and it will be installed properly
[04:30] <mustu> when it's working for everyone else then why not me
[04:30] <dio> lol. well some dont
[04:30] <dio> you get the crypto from it
[04:30] <mustu> dio  yes the key is installed
[04:31] <Ben64> mustu: can you join #ubuntu-offtopic and continue this there
[04:31] <dio> and when you do apt-get update
[04:32] <lori_> hi
[04:32] <mustu> Ok Listen.. there were some remains of manual deb installation.. properly purging the deb has made a difference .. now apt-cache show elasticsearch ... also doesn't return anything
[04:33] <jushur> mustu: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/setup-repositories.html
[04:33] <cfhowlett> mustu, >>> #uubntu-offtopic.  please.
[04:33] <mustu> alright.. thanks
[04:44] <drale2k> Do i understand this properly. Scripts posted in f.e. cron.daily will run every day, i don't have to use the schedule syntax "23 18 * * * etc" here
[04:44] <drale2k> scripts posted in cron.d are if you need a special schedule like every 4 days, then you need the timer syntax
[04:47] <jerichodotm> what is the correct name of the horizantal bar at the bottom of the screen where open apps are shown?
[04:47] <uchua> taskbar? dock?
[04:48] <jerichodotm> uchua, taskbar it is.. thank you
[04:49] <uchua> jerichodotm, no prob
[04:50] <Ben64> drale2k: use crontab to edit stuff with schedules. you can put things into cron.daily monthly weekly whatever, but keep in mind those run as root
[04:51] <drale2k> Ben64: ok thanks. Are those run like the name suggest, f.e. cron.daily is executed by the system every day ?
[04:51] <Ben64> yep
[04:51] <drale2k> so usually i only need crontab to run it on user level
[04:51] <drale2k> in rare cases as root in one of those folders ?
[04:51] <Ben64> depends what you're trying to do
[04:51] <Ben64> root has a crontab too
[04:52] <drale2k> i have a rails app and want to run a rails task to clean up the db every 2 weeks
[04:52] <drale2k> i don't think i need root for this
[04:52] <Ben64> sounds like something you should put into crontab
[04:52] <drale2k> ok thank you
[05:04] <tardyscholar> So guys, what do you think comes after Ubuntu "Z"?
[05:05] <cfhowlett> tardyscholar, ask #ubuntu-offtopic please.  tech support only here.
[05:14] <drale2k> when i put something into my crontab, when is it picked up?
[05:14] <drale2k> i don't need to reboot or something or ?
[05:15] <Ben64> nope it works after you save
[05:22] <rwp> drale2k, crontab changes happen immediately. Check /var/log/syslog for CRON entries showing the tasks being run for you.
[05:23] <drale2k> thanks , i did but i only see cron.hourly in the logs
[05:23] <drale2k> although i set one to run every 5 mins
[05:23] <drale2k> that's now over 15 mins ago
[05:23] <rwp> Hmm...
[05:23] <Ben64> drale2k: what is the relevant line from "crontab -l"
[05:24] <drale2k> 1 0 * * * dokku dokku --rm run toku rake delete:old_messages 2>&1
[05:24] <drale2k> i cahgned it to every minute now
[05:24] <rwp> drale2k, Wrong format.
[05:24] <rwp> You have dokku dokku in there twice.
[05:24] <Ben64> 1 0 * * * isn't every minute either
[05:24] <rwp> Is it supposed to be in there twice?
[05:24] <drale2k> dokku username and then dokku for the command
[05:25] <Ben64> you don't put a user in there
[05:25] <drale2k> do i have to set the username if i am running it as the crontba user ?#
[05:25] <drale2k> hm ok, i took it from some docs
[05:25] <rwp> Only put the username in there for /etc/cron.d/* and friend crontabs.
[05:26] <Ben64> did you look at the example when editing crontab?  # m h  dom mon dow   command
[05:26] <rwp> Personal crontabs of the 'crontab -l' and 'crontab -e' variety know you are the user and don't have that field.
[05:26] <drale2k> oh * would be every minute
[05:26] <rwp> That was the original format for the crontab files.
[05:26] <drale2k> so 1 would be every first minute of the hour ?
[05:26] <Ben64> yep
[05:27] <rwp> Then later the /etc/cron.d came along for Vixie cron and it needed the added username field so that it can tell the difference.
[05:27] <Ben64> 1 0 * * * would be 12:01am
[05:27] <drale2k> ok this should work * * * * * dokku --rm run toku rake delete:old_messages 2>&1
[05:27] <Ben64> maybe not
[05:28] <drale2k> that is for every minute, not ?
[05:28] <Ben64> i have no idea what dokku is
[05:28] <Ben64> or why you have the : or the 2>&1
[05:28] <drale2k> dokku is like your personal heroku
[05:28] <drale2k> built on docker
[05:29] <dax> drale2k: yes, that is every minute
[05:29] <drale2k> i have read that with 2>&1 i can have error logs
[05:29] <drale2k> 2 is the stderror i believe
[05:29] <Ben64> you should put that into a script and have it called from crontab
[05:30] <rwp> 0 is stdin, 1 is stdout, 2 is stderr
[05:30] <rwp> Yes, call it from a script.
[05:31] <rwp> That is ten times easier than trying for a one-liner in crontab.
[05:31] <drale2k> where would you put that script, is there a convention ?
[05:32] <rwp> If it is your own personal thing then $HOME/bin is typical.
[05:32] <drale2k> ok thanks
[05:33] <rwp> Call the program by the full path.  For example $HOME/bin/foo in the crontab.
[05:33] <pam> Is there a way to fix a lagging youtube problem?
[05:35] <rwp> Ben64, The ":" in that command looks just like part of the option argument to dokku. The 2>&1 is useless at that line however. It redirects stderr to stdout but in a crontab line that is not needed as all output is emailed to the user.
[05:38] <rwp> pam, Isn't all lagging youtube problems due to the network being too slow to keep it from needing buffering?
[05:39] <drale2k> rwp: i removed the 2>&1, i thought it would put errors in the log file
[05:40] <rwp> 2>&1 redirects stderr to stdout (2 redirected to 1).
[05:40] <rwp> Cron mails all output, either stdout or stderr, doesn't matter, to the user owning the crontab.
[05:40] <rwp> Cron doesn't log user output to a log file. It goes out as email to the user.
[05:41] <drale2k> email is  the only option to see errors?
[05:41] <rwp> You probably need to have a mail transport agent such as postfix or exim installed in order to have a way for mail from cron to get delivered to /var/mail/$USER however.
[05:41] <drale2k> i installed postfix
[05:41] <drale2k> jsut now
[05:41] <rwp> It is easy to redirect all output in the script to a log file of your choosing.
[05:41] <drale2k> i am also now logging to cron.log
[05:42] <rwp> At the top of the script if you put 'exec >/tmp/mylogfile 2>&1' it will redirect all output from that script to the file.
[05:42] <pam> rwp: youtube videos play fine on my windows machine and on my phone...and tablet...just not on this laptop
[05:43] <rwp> For debugging #!/bin/sh scripts  it is useful to add 'set -x' after that to add tracing of commands too.
[05:43] <eferreira> hey, anyone know the mode to open a fifo in which you can both read and write?
[05:45] <rwp> pam, I have no idea. Graphics too slow for video playback? Maybe.  I don't know.
[05:45] <rwp> eferreira, More details please.  Opening a fifo from a shell script?  C program?  Other?
[05:46] <Hulio> I love Nero for linux
[05:46] <Hulio> best Burner software for linux Nero 4.0
[05:51] <rwp> drale2k, Are you making progress on your crontab script debugging? Sounds like yes?
[05:51] <drale2k> rwp: ye sthanks , i think it worked now
[05:51] <rwp> Good!
[05:51] <drale2k> i still kept it inline bu just remove the user
[05:51] <drale2k> removed*
[05:52] <rwp> drale2k, Seems like you have a handle on things now. That is what is most important.
[05:52] <drale2k> yup, rwp Ben64 thanks for the help
[05:57] <Hulio> Guys, i have this issue: checking for Qt5 qmake >= 5.2.0... not found
[05:57] <Hulio> what is that meant?
[05:57] <Hulio> ./configure  ......long run and it say: checking for Qt5 qmake >= 5.2.0... not found
[05:57] <Hulio> do i neeed qt5 installed?
[05:57] <Hulio> if so, how do i do that?
[05:58] <rwp> Hulio, Yes. You need to install the qt development packages.
[05:58] <Hulio> how to do that?
[05:58] <Ben64> you need qt5-qmake equal to or greater than 5.2.0, but we don't support compiling software in this channel
[05:58] <Hulio> show me what command to do?
[05:59] <rwp> Hulio, What are you trying to build? If there is already a package for it then install it. Or install the "apt-get build-dep $foo" for it.
[05:59] <Hulio> i try to build qbittorent
[05:59] <Hulio> i want to learn to compile it
[05:59] <Hulio> insteal of getting from APP
[05:59] <Ben64> then you chose the wrong distro
[05:59] <Hulio> oh
[06:00] <Ben64> ubuntu has packages and a package manager. thats the way to get software
[06:00] <cfhowlett> Hulio, linux from scratch sounds like your flavor
[06:00] <Hulio> hmm, so no way to compile qbittorent, i download it from the creator site
[06:01] <Hulio> rwp, i got it from here the tar : http://www.qbittorrent.org/download.php
[06:01] <Ben64> you can do it, but it's not on topic here
[06:01] <Hulio> Ben64, i know man, but at least show something
[06:02] <rwp> Hulio, I am shocked that it is off topic for #ubuntu.
[06:02] <Ben64> sudo apt-get install qbittorrent
[06:02] <Hulio> Ben64, come on man
[06:02] <Hulio> i dont want that
[06:02] <Ben64> then you're in the wrong channel
[06:02] <somsip>  !compile | Hulio
[06:03] <Hulio> somsip, that make sense, thanks
[06:03] <Loshki> I'm a bit confused about why compiling Ubuntu software on Ubuntu is off topic for #ubuntu
[06:03] <sofing> Hi is there smart box  wih ubuntu without without buy from Chine ?
[06:03] <somsip> Loshki: read the link above
[06:05] <Loshki> somsip: doesn't say it's unsupported. Other ubottu entries typically declare that explicitly.
[06:05] <xangua> sofing: check thinkpenguin.com and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuPre-installed
[06:05] <sofing> ok
[06:07] <Loshki> Hulio: begin with 'apt-get source qbittorrent'. You'll need to find out its dependencies and load them too.
[06:07] <sofing> xaguan , why no device in my country?
[06:08] <somsip> Loshki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/SupportersGuide "We rarely recommend installing from source, but people can be directed towards upstream projects if appropriate "
[06:09] <rwp> somsip, In https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware pont number 6 says "You want to try your hand at compiling programs from scratch."
[06:09] <Loshki> somsip: ok
[06:10] <Ben64> that doesn't mean it has to be supported on the irc channel. if we increased the scope of the channel to "everything you could possibly do whilst running ubuntu" it'd be madness
[06:10] <Hulio> rwp, what is the point of not having to compile from source?   lets say ubuntu app provided version 4...and the source is version 5
[06:10] <rwp> Personally I always used packaged software whenever possible. It is soooo much easier. But freedom to look at and modify the source is a fundamental freedom.
[06:10] <Hulio> don't you want to get the latest?
[06:10] <somsip> rwp: that does not refer to giving support on IRC. You (and everyone) can do what you want with your version of Ubuntu. The help most people need in compiling (and supporting an environment of mixed packages/compiled) is outside the scope of #ubuntu
[06:10] <somsip> !latest | Hulio
[06:11] <cfhowlett> hulio there are many reasons NOT to get the latest, but you are free to do so.
[06:12] <Loshki> Hulio: In general, I'd rather have the most stable than the most recent. And I'd rather not wait to compile it unless there's a good reason to do so. The amount of effort involved can vary from trivial to enormous.
[06:12] <sofing> very bad distribution of devices with ubuntu in my country
[06:12] <Hulio> alright then
[06:12] <Hulio> i do sudo apt-get install qbittorrent then
[06:12] <cfhowlett> sofing is there a question there?
[06:12] <Hulio> thanks guys
[06:12] <rwp> I would rather have most stable and bug free than the latest.
[06:12] <Hulio> it's not even easy to compile anyway
[06:12] <rwp> I don't repaint my house every year just to let people know I live there.
[06:13] <sofing> there a proteste
[06:14] <rwp> Hulio, I wouldn't give up on compiling from source that quickly. It is a useful skill. But if the channel doesn't want to support it here then it simply means you should respect that and not discuss it here.
[06:14] <kanguro> hi
[06:14] <Hulio> i like qbittorent over transmission :)
[06:14] <somsip> rwp: well said
[06:14] <cfhowlett> sofing, what country???
[06:14] <sofing> spain , earth of corruptos
[06:15] <Loshki> sofing: you usually pay a premium for hardware *guaranteed* to run Ubuntu. I look for hardware where people have mentioned successfully running Ubuntu. Otherwise, I suppose you could go shopping with a live-cd in hand, and insist on seeing it run before you buy.
[06:16] <cfhowlett> sofing, make an Ubuntu USB.  go to computer store.  choose computer.  insert USB and boot ubuntu.  test.  buy.
[06:16] <sofing> ok but i want a smart box with ubuntu  of low cost and with much power in hardware
[06:16] <cfhowlett> tell that to computer store staff.
[06:17] <cfhowlett> or use amazon
[06:17] <sofing> amazon is chinese
[06:17] <cfhowlett> false.
[06:17] <somsip> sofing: dont get silly
[06:17] <cfhowlett> amazon is an american company.  don't be daft.
[06:18] <sofing> all the devices  are chineses
[06:18] <somsip> sofing: but questions about hardware support are not supported here. Try #hardware or do your own research. Please stop asking now
[06:20] <sofing> somsip ok somsip i only wanted try my device android with puffin browser pro , this browser work in my device android like a full browser of pc and with 100 gb of speed plus
[06:20] <cfhowlett> sofing do you have UBUNTU support questions?
[06:21] <sofing> yeah why ubuntu cant with the android devices ???
[06:21] <cfhowlett> !touch | sofing
[06:22] <lotuspsychje> good morning to all
[06:25] <stoopkid> hello
[06:25] <sofing> where is the repositorie of ubuntu for ubuntu devices ? is there a web with apps for devices ubuntu ?
[06:26] <stoopkid> i used the command 'eject -i on /dev/cdrom' and rather than locking the cdrom button, it removed cdrom from /dev, and the button still works
[06:26] <cfhowlett> sofing, READ the touch wiki.  answers are there.
[06:26] <sofing> where is the play store of ubuntu for devices ?????
[06:26] <stoopkid> but eject itself now no longer works on cdrom because it's not in /dev, and i guess normal usage of the cdrom has been disabled
[06:26] <cfhowlett> sofing, see !touch.
[06:28] <stoopkid> anyway, i'm curious if this is a bug, or an incompatibility of my system, or.. something else, and how to manually put cdrom back into /dev (i figure it will return if i reboot, but i haven't tried yet)
[06:29] <Ben64> stoopkid: why did you remove it
[06:30] <rcmainak> Raspberry Pi 3 is now out for sale
[06:31] <rcmainak> how much excited are you guyz :p
[06:31] <cfhowlett> rcmainak, #ubuntu-offtopic please
[06:31] <stoopkid> well, the man page for eject said that the '-i on' option would simply lock the button
[06:31] <stoopkid> so, i wasn't expecting it to remove cdrom from /dev
[06:31] <Ben64> oh, i read that incorrectly, thought you said you removed it after running the eject command
[06:32] <stoopkid> ah, nope
[06:32] <stoopkid> i'll restart my computer and see if cdrom returns to /dev and if i can duplicate the eject thing, brb
[06:36] <Strontium> Hi,  I have a wierd problem with my mouse pointer.  For some reason the Mouse Sprite is stopping moving, but where Ubuntu thinks the Mouse is does move.  So The mouse is working just the sprite stops.  Anyone seen this>
[06:43] <stoopkid> Ben64: it came back after rebooting
[06:44] <stoopkid> after running 'eject -i on /dev/cdrom', cdrom is still in /dev
[06:45] <stoopkid> the man page for eject -i says:
[06:45] <rcmainak> cfhowlett: ubuntu snappy core is off topic on this channel. :o my mistake
[06:45] <stoopkid> 'eject -i on|1|off|0'
[06:46] <cfhowlett> rcmainak, forgiven/forgotten.  go forth and sin no more.
[06:46] <stoopkid> 'This option controls locking of the hardware  eject  button.  When enabled, the drive will not be ejected when the button is pressed. This is useful when you are carrying a laptop in a bag or case and don't want it to eject if the button is inadvertently pressed.'
[06:47] <stoopkid> however, after clicking the button, it waits a second, and then opens, and cdrom is removed from /dev
[06:48] <axscode> Hi Guys, wanted to ask, our server has RAID, then suddenly reboot but unable to boot, which leads to reinstallation of GRUB. it's booting now but there's a huge files missing from our files archive is there a way to retrieve it?
[06:48] <lotuspsychje> !raid | axscode
[06:48] <cfhowlett> axscode, also might want to ask #ubuntu-server
[06:48] <stoopkid> the cdrom tray still opens & closes, but it can no longer be accessed by eject
[06:48] <stoopkid> (and presumably by anything else that would normally access it)
[06:49] <Ben64> stoopkid: so don't use "eject -i" i guess
[06:50] <stoopkid> alright, well how might i go about putting cdrom back into /dev without rebooting
[06:50] <Ben64> do you have /dev/sr0
[06:50] <stoopkid> ls /dev/sr0
[06:50] <stoopkid> wrong window oops
[06:51] <stoopkid> yes
[06:51] <Flannel> stoopkid: Does doing the command with the verbose option anything additional?
[06:51] <Ben64> that's probably your cdrom drive
[06:52] <stoopkid> Flannel: well, i'll have to get cdrom back into /dev to check, but what it output previously was 'CD-Drive may NOT be ejected with device button'
[06:52] <Ben64> use /dev/sr0 instead of /dev/cdrom
[06:52] <stoopkid> Ben64: why sr0?
[06:52] <Ben64> because that is likely to be the cdrom drive
[06:53] <stoopkid> i mean how do you infer that
[06:53] <Ben64> sr0 = 1st scsi device
[06:53] <ttyrnpuu> Hello. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?p=5508030 How can i fool mountpoint that it is a folder? To be more specific..how can i mount a folder to /mnt/floppy ?
[06:54] <stoopkid> ah, 'ls -l /dev/sr0' says 'brw-rw----+ 1 root cdrom 11, 0 Mar  1 01:44 /dev/sr0'
[06:54] <Ben64> ttyrnpuu: tldr, make an image, mount it loopback?
[06:55] <stoopkid> eject [-t] /dev/sr0 indeed controls the cdrom drive
[06:56] <EriC^^> ttyrnpuu: look into mount --bind maybe ?
[06:56] <Any_where> Hello,i have a problem about "apt-get update" command and show err warning about hostname,and before it show ERR i was upgrade the system but "ping,curl,wget" could be use
[06:56] <stoopkid> so i guess cdrom is a symbolic link to /dev/sr0?
[06:57] <Ben64> stoopkid: yep
[06:57] <stoopkid> so to put cdrom back in /dev i'd just make a symbolic link to /dev/sr0 called cdrom in /dev ?
[06:58] <Ben64> stoopkid: should work
[06:59] <Any_where> Hello?
[06:59] <cfhowlett> !ask | Any_where
[07:01] <crt> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3S5qsN10SjE
[07:01] <Any_where> Okey,thank you so much.
[07:02] <cfhowlett> crt, spam and fud are unwelcome here.  stop now.
[07:03] <crt> you forgot to say please
[07:03] <Flannel> crt: Please take non-support discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks.
[07:03] <cfhowlett> crt, actually I didn't .  it's in the guidelines
[07:05] <ttyrnpuu> EriC^^, Well i tried "sudo mount --bind /mnt/floppy /dev/fd0" gave me an answer that its not directory
[07:05] <EriC^^> ttyrnpuu: mount --bind /path/to/dir /path/to/dir
[07:06] <EriC^^> ttyrnpuu: want to mount /dev/fd0 at /mnt/floppy ?
[07:06] <ttyrnpuu> EriC^^, yes
[07:06] <Ben64> no you don't
[07:06] <EriC^^> ttyrnpuu: try sudo mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy ( in case you do )
[07:07] <EriC^^> Ben64: ?
[07:07] <Ben64> ttyrnpuu doesn't have physical access to the machine, and doesn't have a floppy
[07:07] <Ben64> so that can't be correct
[07:07] <stoopkid> Ben64: interestingly, if i do the following sequence: 1) eject -i on /dev/cdrom, 2) press physical button (cdrom tray is now ejected & cdrom is removed from /dev), and then 3) eject -t /dev/sr0, the cdrom tray closes & cdrom comes back to /dev
[07:07] <ttyrnpuu> Yes, I am running a VPS thats why there is a problem
[07:08] <ttyrnpuu> The software i am using needs an external device for export which is either USB or floppy or cdrom
[07:08] <Ben64> so why not do like i said 14 minutes ago
[07:09] <ttyrnpuu> Ben64, you mean something like "sudo mount -o loop /path/floppy.img /dev/fd0" ?
[07:10] <Ben64> no. not /dev/fd0. there is no /dev/fd0 since you don't have a floppy drive
[07:11] <stoopkid> Ben64: so, doing the eject -t on /dev/sr0 prevented me from making a symbolic link, but if i create a symbolic link during that phase after (2) where it's removed from cdrom, using the command ln -s /dev/sr0 ./cdrom, the symbolic link indeed works
[07:11] <stoopkid> where cdrom is removed from /dev **
[07:13] <stoopkid> if i try 'eject -i on /dev/sr0', it still fails to lock the tray
[07:13] <stoopkid> and also removes the cdrom symbolic link when i press the button
[07:13] <Ben64> yeah, it doesn't work for you
[07:14] <stoopkid> luckily it doesn't remove /dev/sr0
[07:15] <stoopkid> failing to lock the tray is one thing, but i feel like removing the symbolic links is a bug, should i report it somewhere?
[07:15] <stoopkid> also reporting that it succeeded to lock the tray when it failed
[07:16] <Ben64> if you like
[07:16] <stoopkid> where would be a good place to report a bug like this
[07:16] <Ben64> !bug
[07:16] <stoopkid> cool thanks a lot for your help
[07:17] <vincent42> hi all, any idea why an apt-get update want to downgrade dkms on ubuntu 14.04 ?
[07:17] <Ben64> vincent42: pastebin what you're referring to
[07:17] <vincent42> was something reversed recently ? or did I install something strange (but forgot about it)
[07:18] <vincent42> Ben64: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15250319/
[07:19] <Ben64> vincent42: pastebin apt-cache policy dkms
[07:19] <HaylieTosis>  ubuntu xenophobic beating is coming :http://itsfoss.com/ubuntu-1604-release-schedule/         << 4 march
[07:20] <vincent42> Ben64: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15250323/
[07:20] <vincent42> seems because I installed zfs from a ppa
[07:21] <vincent42> but isn"t it going to cause problem if I revert dkms ?
[07:22] <lotuspsychje> !ppa | vincent42
[07:23] <vincent42> yeah , so how can I prevent this version of dkms from being dowgraded ? should I pin it ?
[07:23] <vincent42> or hold it
[07:24] <Ben64> would probably cause other issues
[07:28] <amincd> Hi, a few months ago I had this problem, came here, and with guidance, was able to fix it, and embarrassingly enough I'm facing the problem again and I can't remember, and didn't make notes on, how to fix it. My Ubuntu suddenly went to Grub command line. When I reboot, it goes to the Grub command line.
[07:28] <vincent42> Ben64: so what do you recomment, should I just let it be downgraded ?
[07:28] <HaylieTosis>  came across this important information for girls http://paste.ubuntu.com/15250337/
[07:28] <Ben64> vincent42: i'd not use that ppa
[07:29] <vincent42> ah ok
[07:29] <vincent42> but I need this ppa
[07:29] <lotuspsychje> vincent42: ppa's are not supported here
[07:30] <amincd> so how do I fix my boot
[07:30] <lotuspsychje> vincent42: its recommended to use packages versions, meant for your ubuntu version
[07:30] <vincent42> ok, understood
[07:30] <lotuspsychje> !recovergrub | amincd
[07:31] <lotuspsychje> vincent42: wich ubuntu are you on, and wich package version are you trying to get?
[07:31] <vincent42> lotuspsychje: ubuntu 14.04 and just doing an apt-get upgrade
[07:32] <lotuspsychje> vincent42: being up to date is supposed to be..

[07:33] <lotuspsychje> amincd: can you detail your whole story? ubuntu version? single/dualboot?
[07:33] <amincd> lotuspsychje: so I can't do the terminal way. I'll have to do the graphical way
[07:33] <amincd> lotuspsychje: dualboot

[08:53] <TomyWork> Ubuntu trusty has recently updated the virtualbox packages. So far I've been using 4.3.10 4.3.10-dfsg-1ubuntu5.

[08:54] <renka> hello, is there a detailed tutorial for ssh key setup? i did create a sshkey on my server and my client and tried to copy it by ssh-copy-id.. but i cant access the server
[08:55] <renka> it fails when i do ssh-copy-id
[08:56] <ouroumov> renka, did you choose the default name for the key (id_rsa) and is the ssh server listening on the standard port?
[08:56] <renka> default and yes, i did not change the ssh port yet
[08:57] <ouroumov> and you're using "ssh-copy-id <yourusername>@server" ?
[08:57] <renka> yea
[08:57] <renka> i can show you errormessage
[08:58] <ouroumov> renka, sure, on pastebin or equivalent
[08:58] <renka> what if i used other port?
[08:58] <guest2467> ubuntu freezes a lot when i turn it back on after sleep
[08:59] <renka> now it just says connection refused, i think there is something bad
[08:59] <TomyWork> renka hmmm, if the manpage doesnt say how to specify the port, there's the .ssh/config file
[08:59] <renka> i will take a look at it
[08:59] <somsip> renka: /etc/ssh/sshd_config to change the port, but I don't know why you want to do that
[09:00] <ouroumov> renka, connection refused mean the server has the port 22 closed or there's a firewall in the way
[09:00] <TomyWork> renka but first make sure your server is actually not listening on the default port
[09:00] <renka> isnt it more secure to have an different port then standard?
[09:00] <somsip> renka: mildly. Arguably
[09:00] <renka> so its not way more safety?
[09:00] <somsip> renka: not "way more", no
[09:01] <renka> i think a hacker can scan the ports when he wants to
[09:01] <ouroumov> renka, it's security by obscurity, it will drop the number of connection attempts but won't protect against a determined attach
[09:01] <ouroumov> attack*
[09:01] <renka> i see
[09:02] <renka> so i am logged in as root and change my user to the wanted user to have the key
[09:02] <ouroumov> renka, but nevermind that you should get your key-based auth working first thing, then consider changing the port later
[09:03] <renka> server ssh port is set to 22

[09:04] <somsip> renka: what version of ubuntu are you on?
[09:04] <renka> 14.04
[09:04] <ouroumov> renka, uncomment the line #AuthorizedKeysFile     %h/.ssh/authorized_keys
[09:05] <that_lurker> renka have you tried to turn in off and on again :P
[09:05] <somsip> !behelpful| that_lurker
[09:05] <renka> ouroumov done
[09:05] <ouroumov> And renka, you want to switch PermitRootLogin to "no" at some point, sudo exists for a reason
[09:05] <renka> okay
[09:06] <C0r3> If I start firefox using terminal then I don't get the prompt back till I close the firefox. Is there a way to change the shell behaviour?
[09:06] <ouroumov> renka, your username on the server is the same as on your client?
[09:06] <Ben64> C0r3: well its because you have firefox running. what do you want to happen
[09:06] <renka> ouroumov no
[09:06] <somsip> C0r3: nohup firefox & (IIRC)
[09:07] <C0r3> I tried nohup
[09:07] <ouroumov> So during the ssh-copy-id you need your server side username in the command renka, did you do that?
[09:07] <renka> changed to the user i want to setup the ssh key
[09:07] <C0r3> But still, I don't get the prompt back till I close firefox.
[09:07] <ouroumov> what?
[09:07] <somsip> C0r3: with a "&" at the end?
[09:07] <renka> i was logged in as root
[09:07] <C0r3> Ben64: I want the prompt back.
[09:07] <C0r3> somsip: No
[09:07] <renka> now changed to the user i want to grant access
[09:07] <ouroumov> renka, ssh-copy-id is issued by the client, right?
[09:07] <Ben64> C0r3: ctrl+z, bg 1, done
[09:07] <somsip> C0r3: well, try it like I typed it and see if it works
[09:09] <renka> ouroumov http://pastebin.com/tJcsXsbz
[09:09] <C0r3> Ben64: Ctrl+z after 'firefox' or nohup firefox?
[09:09] <ouroumov> renka, you typed this on the client?
[09:09] <Ben64> C0r3: you can do that to get your prompt back
[09:10] <renka> ouroumov yea
[09:10] <Ben64> C0r3: like if you have firefox running now from a terminal
[09:10] <C0r3> Ben64: But the firefox stops responding
[09:10] <ouroumov> renka, that's result of ssh-copy-id?
[09:10] <renka> yes
[09:10] <Ben64> C0r3: thats what the bg 1 is for...
[09:10] <renka> typed username@ip
[09:10] <renka> as arg
[09:10] <C0r3> Ben64: I didn't get that. bg1? Where to do that? I need to type that?
[09:11] <Ben64> C0r3: you should read the whole line
[09:12] <C0r3> Ben64: Got it!
[09:12] <Ben64> :D
[09:12] <ouroumov> renka, I just nmaped your server and I confirm the ssh port is open, that's something.
[09:13] <renka> thats good i guess ^^
[09:13] <ouroumov> renka, to get rid of this error, you need to update your known host file, does it gives you a command to do so?
[09:13] <renka> just that: Add correct host key in /Users/Rene/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message.
[09:14] <ouroumov> Okay so edit the file using sudo nano /Users/Rene/.ssh/known_hosts and remove the line 18
[09:15] <renka> okay i deleted
[09:15] <C0r3> Ben64: Just curious if I can get the firefox thing back and lose my terminal??
[09:15] <ouroumov> renka, try again ssh-copy-id
[09:16] <C0r3> Ben64: Sorry. Lose my prompt I meant
[09:16] <renka> now asking me yes/no for that ouroumov
[09:16] <renka> i do yes
[09:16] <Ben64> C0r3: fg 1
[09:16] <ouroumov> yes
[09:16] <renka> and now i do again?
[09:17] <renka> Warning: Permanently added '<IP_ADDRESS>' (ECDSA) to the list of known hosts.
[09:17] <ouroumov> okay
[09:17] <Ben64> C0r3: bg means background, fg is foreground, when you stop a process using ctrl+z, it shows you the job number
[09:18] <drac0666> Some1 can help me with my udev rule? i have udev rule to perform script when my mouse is connected -> udev rules works but my script isint working propetly i mean xinput set-prop "Logitech Gaming Mouse G400" "Device Accel Constant Deceleration" 2.6' this part doesnt work
[09:18] <C0r3> Ben64: Awesome! Thanks
[09:18] <renka> ouroumov whats up next?
[09:18] <ouroumov> renka, did the command work?
[09:18] <renka> yes
[09:18] <bekks> drac0666: Can you show us the entire script in a pastebin please?
[09:19] <renka> it said added blabla to the list of known hosts.
[09:19] <ouroumov> So now you should be able to ssh into your server without using your password. Check if it works.
[09:19] <renka> oh cool
[09:19] <renka> thats it
[09:19] <renka> o_O
[09:19] <renka> it works!! yay
[09:19] <somsip> !cookie | ouroumov
[09:19] <renka> thanks a lot ouroumov
[09:19] <ouroumov> Great, now. Is your user in the sudo group on the server?
[09:20] <drac0666> bekks, http://paste.ubuntu.com/15252224/
[09:20] <renka> yea i did gpasswd sudo
[09:20] <bekks> drac0666: You need to use an absolute path for xinput.
[09:20] <drac0666> bekks, i always get DZIALAM in my test log, but mouse doesnt get correct prop, but when i run script manualy it works
[09:20] <ouroumov> So you wanna thing about editing that sshd config file again to forbid root login renka
[09:21] <C0r3> !cookie | Ben64
[09:21] <drac0666> bekks, can you tell more? im kinda new and learing
[09:21]  * Ben64 noms cookie
[09:21] <bekks> drac0666: "xinput" is a relative path specification. "/usr/bin/xinput" is an absolute path specification.
[09:21] <renka> hmm somehow sudo gives me command not found
[09:21] <bekks> renka: Is sudo installed?
[09:21] <renka> but i did gpasswd for sure
[09:21] <drac0666> bekks, ok i will try that
[09:22] <lapyo> apt-get install sudo
[09:22] <renka> it needs to be installed.. mh i was thinking its by default
[09:22] <drac0666> bekks, thanks
[09:22] <ouroumov> renka, it should be by default on Ubuntu server
[09:23] <renka> i think i installed minimal
[09:23] <ouroumov> uh
[09:23] <bekks> renka: Even on a minimal installation, sudo is installed by sudo.
[09:23] <bekks> *by default
[09:23] <renka> i just installed sudo
[09:23]  * asDd
[09:23] <bekks> renka: So that depends on your provider then.
[09:23] <renka> okay good
[09:24] <ouroumov> renka, you sure you've set up Ubuntu Server? That looks like a debian install honest. :/
[09:24] <bekks> renka: Can you pastebin "cat /etc/issue" please?
[09:24] <somsip> ouroumov: I asked that when I saw PermitRootLogin: yes which is Off by default
[09:24] <renka> Operating System	Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit minimal
[09:24] <bekks> renka: Thats not the output of "cat /etc/issue".
[09:24] <renka> Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS \n \l
[09:26] <renka> ill write a little tutorial for my own on that how to set up correctly so it gets burnt into my head and i have a source to have a look at this
[09:26] <acosonic_> how do I cp /1_foler to /2_folder, but include files beginning with .filename?
[09:27] <renka> ouroumov iam into that ssh config
[09:27] <C0r3> How do I refresh the shell??
[09:28] <renka> PermitRootLogin is turned to no
[09:29] <ouroumov> Good
[09:30] <renka> is there something next? or i just keep installing my stuff now?
[09:30] <Jordan_U> acosonic_: Unless 2_folder already exists, that should work.
[09:31] <acosonic_> Jordan_U: no it never copies the .files ...
[09:31] <ouroumov> renka, you can keep installing your stuff, but I'd recommend you read documentations on best practices for server administration, including ssh configuration etc
[09:31] <renka> ouroumov do you have a good source?
[09:33] <Jordan_U> acosonic_: "cp -r dir1 dir2" will definitely copy the .files in dir1 to dir2.
[09:33] <C0r3> Hey, got it. Shell reload is Alt+F2+r
[09:34] <kk_> hello
[09:34] <ouroumov> renka, I'd say start with that: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/index.html then watch the twit podcast "Security Now" archive to get familiar with the general security concepts
[09:34] <kk_> does anyone have a videos for ubuntu beginners?
[09:35] <kk_> does anyone have a videos for ubuntu beginners?
[09:35] <bekks> !patience | kk_
[09:37] <pahakalle> exit
[09:37] <pahakalle> exit
[09:37] <C0r3> kk_: What exactly you are looking for?
[09:38] <Jordan_U> acosonic_: I'm assuming that the command you're actually running is something like "cp dir1/* dir2/" in which case you can use "shopt -s dotglob" to change the behavior of bash's globbing. More details here: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/glob
[09:38] <kk_> I am looking at learning some basics of linux and want to start by using Ubuntu
[09:38] <kk_> However I am looking for simple material to understand and work with
[09:39] <C0r3> kk_: Have you used linux before?
[09:39] <kk_> no ...only windows
[09:39] <Jordan_U> !manual | kk_
[09:40] <kk_> ok another question I have is that this...
[09:40] <C0r3> kk_: Directly ask. :)
[09:41] <kk_> c0r3: if I learn linux  do I need to know scripting languages like python also ?
[09:41] <bekks> kk_: No.
[09:41] <C0r3> kk_: Not necessary.
[09:41] <acosonic_> Jordan_U: thnc
[09:41] <C0r3> kk_: What exactly you want to do??
[09:43] <madjoe_> Hi! If I run a bash script in /etc/cron.daily as a root would it be a proper way to test/debug the behavior of as it would be run via anacron?
[09:44] <Jordan_U> acosonic_: You're welcome.
[09:44] <madjoe_> The thing is that I'm not getting notify-send when the script is run via anacron. :(
 I am actually from the  networking background however I am also interested in learning and understanding an OS such as linux completely so that I have better job prospects.  What do you think?
[09:48] <C0r3> kk_: Oh. So you'll need to learn scripting language. It'll help you in automating a lot of tasks. :)
[09:48] <lucido> hi, I have an ssl certificate that I use to access a git repo and to log in to establish connection to a web application. How can I add this certificate to my system so that firefox can use it when establishing a connection to the web application server
[09:52] <kk_> any suggestions in going about this easily ?   (  I only want to learn what is required )
[09:53] <bekks> kk_: what is required depends on what you want to know.
[09:53] <C0r3> kk_: I can't tell you what is required, it depends on what job you're applying for.
[09:53] <kk_> ok
[09:54] <kk_> Ubuntu and the linux cli  basics should be enough I guess .  I will learn python seperately .  Hope it works out...
[09:54] <C0r3> kk_: If you want to start using Ubuntu then start with the ubuntu manual as suggested by Jordan_U
[09:54] <kk_> ok
[09:54] <autra> kk_, do you already have ubuntu installed somewhere?
[09:54] <bekks> kk_: Dont forget to learn bash :)
[09:54] <C0r3> bekks: Agree!! :D
[09:55] <kk_> the manual has the GUI functions only . But  someone told me that the linux cli is what they generally ask u in interviews . Can someone confirm?
[09:55] <bekks> kk_: the manual covers the cli, mostly.
[09:55] <kk_> ok
[09:55] <C0r3> kk_: Dude! This channel is not about helping you clear interviews
[09:56] <kk_> ok ..sorry I new to this chat
[09:56] <kk_> didn't know that
[09:56] <bekks> kk_: And for a job interview, the linux desktop is irrelevant.
[09:56] <kk_> ok
[09:56] <kk_> what is relevant then ?
[09:56] <bekks> kk_: the linux server side is what you need to know instead.
[09:56] <kk_> ok
[09:56] <bekks> kk_: aka: "command line".
[09:56] <kk_> ok
[09:58] <kk_> ok I'll start with some basics first and will come back to you guys for doubts.....thanks anyways!!
[09:58] <C0r3> kk_: Hey
[09:58] <kk_> yup
[09:58] <C0r3> kk_: Check your pm
[10:04] <jackcom> how can i install geany?
[10:04] <jackcom> on ubuntu?
[10:04] <bekks> sudo apt-get install geany?
[10:04] <jackcom> simple?
[10:04] <C0r3> sudo apt-get install geany
[10:04] <bekks> jackcom: simple.
[10:04] <C0r3> bekks: You always post a sec before me. :P
[10:04] <bekks> C0r3: ;)
[10:04] <jackcom> oh thanks C0r3  and bekks :)
[10:09] <jackcom> geany editor is good? or not?
[10:09] <baizon> jackcom: the best :D
[10:09] <bekks> jackcom: Depends on your personal preference.
[10:09] <jackcom> best  :O
[10:10] <jackcom> thanks baizon  and bekks :)
[10:11] <aku_sopo> hello all?? i have an question.. can you all help me??
[10:11] <baizon> !ask | aku_sopo
[10:12] <laptopguy> can anyone recommend me a notebook around 300-530EUR, best would be 13" display and good linux support? (if it looks nice that is a + but not necessary)
[10:13] <aku_sopo> i have an vps server ubuntu 14.04. but i am try to upload a "shell backdoor" , and the problem is how to make a backdoor can't access a root directory??
[10:14] <baizon> aku_sopo: sudo -i
[10:15] <aku_sopo> what will happened??
[10:15] <aku_sopo> baizon @ what will happened??
[10:16] <baizon> aku_sopo: you get access to the root directory
[10:16] <ouroumov> aku_sopo, what do you mean a shell backdoor? The front door is not good enough?
[10:17] <ouroumov> aku_sopo,  Or is it like, you're doing your patriotic duty and this is to be the special access dedicated for the NSA?
[10:18] <bekks> ouroumov: It's more like an issue of too much spare time :D
[10:18] <aku_sopo> all @ ok thanks i will try it
[10:27] <guest2467> ubuntu keeps freezing when i turn it back on after sleep
[10:33] <ion_cebotari> Hello, where is best to ask about networking/routing troubleshooting on Ubuntu?
[10:39] <Bassem> i cant record voice
[10:42] <bekks> ion_cebotari: In here.
[10:47] <xddie> quit
[10:48] <ion_cebotari> I have two networks. One is <IP_ADDRESS>/24 and the second is <IP_ADDRESS>/24. Both are connected to the Internet via routers - 192.168.{12,22}.254. Between the networks I have different gateways - <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS> on he other side.  My problem is that on the 192.168.12/24 network the computers use the router as a gateway instead of the <IP_ADDRESS> router. You can see an example here: http://pastebin.com/MPcv
[10:49] <ion_cebotari> Can you please suggest what I am doing wrong?
[10:51] <liuxg> can anyone tell me how to trigger to upgrade my ubuntu 15.04 to ubuntu 15.10? thanks
[10:51] <Ben64> liuxg: sudo do-release-upgrade
[10:52] <liuxg> Ben64, thanks a lot!
[10:52] <Ben64> ion_cebotari: that paste doesn't work
[10:52] <renka> ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
[10:52] <renka> how to fix that?
[10:52] <C0r3> ion_cebotari: Try ##networking
[10:57] <cappe> can't find a SDLMame version to Ubuntu 15.10, all previous versions are available though at http://sdlmame.wallyweek.org/
[10:59] <luqman_> hi
[10:59] <cappe> where should download sdlmame for ubuntu 15.10?
[10:59] <lotuspsychje> cappe: contact the maintainer
[10:59] <k1l> cappe: ask the guy from that website
[10:59] <luqman_> I want to install linux 4.4 on ubuntu 14.04 .. will that work?
[11:00] <Ben64> luqman_: you're on your own if you decide to try that
[11:00] <lotuspsychje> luqman_: can you tell us the reason you want another kernel?
[11:00] <luqman_> Ben64: I tried it but I'm in trouble now ...
[11:00] <luqman_> I want to test ebpf code
[11:00] <Ben64> so then you already know the answer to your question
[11:01] <lotuspsychje> luqman_: install a 16.04 with kernel 4.4 and test from there, see #ubuntu+1
[11:01] <yayel59> luqman : http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2016/01/how-to-install-linux-kernel-4-4-in-ubuntu/
[11:02] <luqman_> only the login window
[11:02] <luqman_> lotuspsychje:
[11:02] <luqman_> and all
[11:02] <luqman_> and now the xorg server is crashing I guess
[11:02] <luqman_> I log in but it crashes and restarts
[11:02] <luqman_> Ben64: I installed it using § dpkg §
[11:03] <k1l> luqman_: either you try the mainline kernel, or wait untill 16.04 is releses to try that, or you you try the 16.04 backports kernel when 16.04 is releasesed
[11:03] <lotuspsychje> luqman_: start from the beginning mate, whats the reason you wanted newer kernel in the first place?
[11:04] <luqman_> lotuspsychje: I wanted ebpf which is in the newer kernel
[11:04] <lotuspsychje> luqman_: ok then try what k1l suggested
[11:06] <luqman_> thanks lotuspsychje  k1l
[11:07] <pesari> luqman_: can't you use 4.2 which is supported in 14.04?
[11:15] <madjoe> Hi! My script /etc/cron.daily/custom doesn't show the output of notify-send, even I have set DISPLAY=":0.0"; XAUTHORITY="/home/me/.Xauthority"; XDG_RUNTIME_DIR="/run/user/1001"; How could I make my anacron display the notify-send on my screen on a daily basis? Surprisingly, if I run /etc/cron.daily/custom as 'root' - it works perfectly!  When I send bug crash report it tells me to upgrade obsolete packages: apt, apt-utils, bind9-host, cups, cups-client, cups-core-drivers, cups-daemon, iproute2, isc-dhcp-client, libapt-pkg5.0, libcups2, libcupscgi1, libcupsimage2, libcupsmime1, libcupsppdc1, libldap-2.4-2, printer-driver-gutenprint. I Tried apt-get autoremove and apt-get install but it did not work out. How do I upgra
[11:30] <Ben64> muerte: #ubuntu+1 for support until release
[11:30] <notthis> thanks, btw, and just in case... is there any tool that helps migrating your profile + installed apps to another machine?
[11:30] <baizon> notthis: https://askubuntu.com/questions/250725/would-changing-to-a-different-motherboard-cpu-ram-conflict-with-ubuntu

[11:31] <muerte> Ben64: Thanks!
[11:31] <notthis> aptoncd?
[11:31] <notthis> is that the software lotuspsychje ?
[11:31] <baizon> notthis: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/APTonCD
[11:32] <notthis> coool
[11:32] <notthis> thanks a lot
[11:33] <madjoe> Ben64:  I just tested my script via regular cron and the notify-send is perfectly displayed (the script was placed in my home dir this time), but when I place the same script in /etc/cron.daily/ dir, I've noticed the system ran the script, but can't see the notify-send on screen... weird.
[11:34] <madjoe> Ben64: this is my script http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/15256245/
[11:34] <lotuspsychje> !cron | madjoe can this help?
[11:37] <madjoe> lotuspsychje: thanks, but I can run my scripts as cron and anacron, both scripts are the same... the only difference is that I can see notify-send displayed when tested as cron, but can't see the script if executed as anacron... weird
[11:42] <Mikaze> Hello.  Is there a dpkg-reconfigure for the network?  I got set up with IPv6 DHCP dynamic IP, switched to an old IPv4 /etc/network/ingerfaces file and screwed it all up.  Would like to switch to a static IPv4/6 setup without hosing the system as bad as it is now.
[11:42] <C0r3> Do we have macvim for ubuntu?
[11:43] <lotuspsychje> C0r3: what does it do exactly?
[11:44] <bazhang> what version of ubuntu Mikaze
[11:44] <C0r3> lotuspsychje: I don't know. I see the GUI differences.
[11:44] <Ben64> Mikaze: what exactly are you trying to do? you can set static stuff in /etc/network/interfaces
[11:44] <lotuspsychje> C0r3: i mean what does this package do, what are you looking for maybe we can find an alternative?
[11:45] <Mikaze> It can no longer find the dns.  I run an eggdrop and it takes, like, 20 seconds for the system to respond and eggdrop says it can't find the dns server.
[11:46] <C0r3> lotuspsychje: Nothing certain that I want to do. I was looking at a youtube video about vim and tmux. He installs macvim. It's vim for mac
[11:47] <Mikaze> Am just wondering if there's a dpkg-reconfigure for the whole network.  I'm blind, btw.  Takes me forever to find the correct documentation for things like that.
[11:47] <lotuspsychje> C0r3: you want vim for a mac on ubuntu?
[11:47] <x03> Hello. COuld someone please assist me with installation of Windows on a machine running Ubuntu? The machine does not have a DVD slot and I do not have a USB stick in my posession, only an external hard drive. I am writing from said machine.
[11:48] <cfhowlett> x03, best to ask #windows how to install windows.
[11:48] <C0r3> lotuspsychje: I know it sounds funny. But I really like the gui. :P
[11:48] <x03> cfhowlett, they sent me here.
[11:48] <bazhang> whats the ubuntu version there Mikaze
[11:49] <cfhowlett> so your question is "how do I install windows"?  they were wrong then.
[11:49] <x03> cfhowlett, in that case sed s/Windows/unspecified non-unix operating system/
[11:49] <Ben64> Mikaze: "the whole network" isn't a package so that question doesn't really make sense. Sounds like maybe you just need to set a dns server
[11:50] <Mikaze> Actually, I did set the old IPv4 dns numbers in /etc/resolv.conf.
[11:50] <Ben64> Mikaze: that file gets overwritten
[11:50] <cfhowlett> x03, multiple hits on the search.  choose 1 and run with it:  https://duckduckgo.com/?q=no+dvd+install+windows&t=canonical
[11:50] <ion_cebotari> x03: You could try PXE https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2008.07.desktopfiles.aspx
[11:51] <x03> cfhowlett, this will not do, because the Windows ISO will not boot from an external hard drive, which is the only USB device in my posession.
[11:51] <Mikaze> Yeah, once had /etc/rc.local  updating resolv.conf each time it rebooted, but I lost a bunch of backups.
[11:51] <lotuspsychje> !winusb | x03
[11:52] <cfhowlett> x03, again; this is a *windows* issue.  ask windows.  don't bother mentioning ubuntu and they will help
[11:52] <x03> ubottu, it didn't work.
[11:52] <x03> Sigh.
[11:53] <x03> cfhowlett, ditto yourself.
[11:53] <notthis> lol :)
[11:55] <x03> Alright, I have a hack in mind.
[11:55] <x03> Suppose, get this, you have an external hard drive... surely there must be a filesystem to which formatted it would appear as an ordinary USB stick, no?
[11:56] <rehas> Quit
[11:56] <lotuspsychje> x03: if the hd is connected via usb..make a bootable media of it
[11:57] <notthis> this is maybe more a thought than a question, but i'd like to know what you guys think. I'm in the process of moving from gmail to a desktop email software. thunderbird was the 1st option, but i was wondering. Wich is the email client offering the best experience for IMAP and integration within Ubuntu?
[11:57] <x03> Right, but the Windows media tool won't recognize it as a USB device, so perhaps I should first format it to FAT something
[11:57] <lotuspsychje> x03: thats a question for ##windows
[11:57] <x03> kk
[11:58] <Mikaze> Remember once reading that you had to install Linux first and then windows.  methinks grub is now smart enough to find windows and include it, but not sure what microsoft has screwed up to prevent the use of any other OS.
[11:58] <lotuspsychje> notthis: thunderbird is pretty nice
[11:58] <cfhowlett> notebox, I switched from evolution to thunderbird.  no issues worth mentioning.
[11:58] <notebox> well played
[11:59]  * Mikaze steps out to raise his glucose levels a bit...
[12:06] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[12:12] <notthis> is the backup solution from the control panel ok to do a restore of your profile on another machine? or will those backups work only on the local machine?
[12:13] <lotuspsychje> !backup | notthis
[12:13] <mmkumr> I installed Ubuntu on my PC which previously had Windows. I haven't touched the windows partitions. But after installation I'm unable to boot into my windows installation.
[12:14] <notthis> thankyou lotuspsychje i'm aware there are different solutions for backup out there, i was looking for some feedback
[12:15] <Mikaze> version 14.04.4 and stuck in the text console.  Most GUI stuff is blind-unfriendly.
[12:18] <mmkumr> can I try grub-install /dev/sda1 ?
[12:21] <Industrial> Hi.
[12:21] <Industrial> I am configuring Ubuntu right now and I have some questions:
[12:21] <sruli> anyone read about the electromagnetic (EM) wave to steal encryption keys? how can one protect PC against it?
[12:21] <Industrial> How do I disable the Win + 1-9 keys?
[12:21] <Industrial> these now start applications in the bar on the left
[12:22] <Industrial> I have them configured to swap to workspaces instead, but it's still starting apps if I do win + 1
[12:22] <bazhang> ##security sruli
[12:22] <Mikaze> I might try dpkg-reconfigure grub but wouldn't wanna hose a system by offering the wrong help.
[12:22] <Industrial> 2) How do I disable the Win + L combo? I have it set to "Move to right workspace" but it's still locking my screen
[12:22] <Industrial> win + H/J/K do work (left, down up)
[12:26]  * Mikaze wouldn't worry about govts getting whatever they want from people's computers.  Tempest equipment can watch any computer screen, watch anything you connect to on the internet, and if they have enough money for it, record every piece of porn  users watch.
[12:27] <bazhang> Mikaze, thats not welcome nor on topic here
[12:28] <Industrial> https://i.imgur.com/Kvnd4Wg.png
[12:28] <j4son> bazhang: +1
[12:28] <Industrial> My Win + L does not go to the right workspace, it locks my screen.
[12:28] <Industrial> WHy?
[12:28]  * Mikaze sighs and tries the website again to see if there's some kind of network manual for Ubuntu.
[12:29] <bazhang> Industrial, is this with unity? the super key may be central to that and not easy to reconfiture
[12:29] <k1l> Industrial: hold super-key (win key) for the shortcuts
[12:29] <Industrial> k1l: did you look at the screenshot?
[12:29] <k1l> Industrial: and super+l is a system shortcut for lockscreen.
[12:29] <Industrial> yes, so how do I disable that
[12:30] <Industrial> I first want no keys mapped at all, so it doesn't do something I don't know. Then I want my own configuration, like HJKL for moving workspaces
[12:30] <Industrial> and win+1 to = for switching workspaces directly
[12:30] <Industrial> +shift for moving a window there (same for HJKL)
[12:30] <Industrial> This is not possible in Unity?
[12:31] <k1l> "gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.lockdown disable-lock-screen true"
[12:31] <Industrial> oh.
[12:31] <bazhang> Industrial, you could have a try with unity tweak tool
[12:32] <Industrial> k1l, bazhang; ok
[12:37] <Industrial> ok. Unity is horrible. I'm going to use something else.
[12:38] <MonkeyDust> !notunity
[12:38] <baizon> Industrial: unity is the best DE imo :)
[12:38] <Industrial> Well, apparently it's offering key combos
[12:38] <Industrial> and it has a settings screen for those
[12:39] <Industrial> but the setting screen is incomplete, because win + L still locks my screen
[12:42] <linuxlove> hello
[12:42] <ouroumov> Industrial, you can use Gnome Shell, or any of the other flavors of Ubuntu such as Ubuntu MATE, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, etc.
[12:43] <Industrial> Yeah I'm checking out gnome now, but I still have xmonad as a backup ;)

[12:48] <jmannn> hi everyone
[12:49] <jmannn> so i hear they're going to remove the faggy amazon thing from 16.04 onwards
[12:49] <jmannn> or that its going to be opt in:3
[12:50] <cfhowlett> jmannn, please review the channel guidelines and drop the sexual orientation slurs
[12:50] <cfhowlett> !guidelines
[12:50] <jmannn> sorry>.<
[12:50] <jmannn> but yeah, amazon thing
[12:50] <jmannn> >:@
[12:51] <jmannn> well what do you guys think
[12:52] <MonkeyDust> jmannn  do you have a support question?
[12:53] <jmannn> hmm lemme see
[12:53] <MonkeyDust> jmannn  i guess you don't have a reason to come here
[12:54] <jackcom> i can install g++?
[12:54] <jmannn> sudo apt-get install g++
[12:54] <jackcom> good
[12:55] <jackcom> then how about eclipse?
[12:56] <jmannn> sudo apt-get install emacs
[12:56] <onlyonemac> i have an ubuntu mate system set up with x11vnc
[12:56] <onlyonemac> i tunnel the vnc connection system through ssh
[12:56] <jackcom> jmannn: eclipse instead of emacs
[12:56] <onlyonemac> i connect to the vnc using TightVNC viewer on a windows 7 client
[12:56] <onlyonemac> earlier today i was keyboard mashing and my connection dropped
[12:56] <onlyonemac> is it possible that keyboard mashing on vnc will kill the x server?
[12:56] <onlyonemac> it didn't crash the client, and it didn't crash x11vnc because my logs say that the x server terminated first
[12:57] <jmannn> no i typed it correctly:@
[12:59] <jackcom> i can install eclipse?
[12:59] <jmannn> no you cant
[12:59] <jackcom> why?
[12:59] <jmannn> type in sudo apt-get install emacs
[13:00] <ouroumov> jackcom, have you checked for it in the software center?
[13:00] <cfhowlett> jackcom, sudo apt install eclipse
[13:00] <jackcom> i want install eclipse instead of emacs jmannn
[13:00] <jmannn> no you dont
[13:00] <jackcom> ouroumov: i want install it with terminal
[13:00] <onlyonemac> jmannn, yes maybe he does; he has a right to use whatever editor he wants to use
[13:00] <jackcom> sudo apt install eclipse  <— this is right? cfhowlett  ?
[13:01] <jackcom> something wrong?
[13:01] <jmannn> ye
[13:01] <cfhowlett> jackcom, yes, do that
[13:01] <jmannn> you misspelled emacs
[13:01] <cfhowlett> !behelpful | jmannn
[13:01] <jmannn> nou
[13:01] <ouroumov> jackcom, it's "sudo apt-get install eclipse"
[13:01] <jackcom> oh
[13:01] <jackcom> thank ouroumov :)
[13:01] <cfhowlett> ouroumov, sudo apt install eclipse also works.
[13:02] <onlyonemac> if all else fails, apt-cache search eclipse will tell you where to find it
[13:02] <ouroumov> cfhowlett, ho, I didn't know that.
[13:02] <MonkeyDust> ouroumov  also: apt update and apt upgrade
[13:02] <jackcom> sudo install apt-get install eclipse
[13:02] <cfhowlett> ouroumov, man apt for more
[13:02] <jackcom> install: target ‘eclipse’ is not a directory
[13:02] <jackcom> oh my god
[13:02] <onlyonemac> cfedde, ouroumov that's because apt and apt-get do the same thing
[13:03] <cfhowlett> jackcom, nope.  sudo apt install eclipse
[13:03] <jackcom> cfhowlett: joking?
[13:03] <jackcom> heh
[13:03] <jmannn> yes
[13:03] <jmannn> he is

[13:04] <MonkeyDust> yeehi  better ask in #bash
[13:04] <yeehi> thank you, MonkeyDust :)

[13:12] <jackcom> how can i know usage of disk?

[13:12] <cfhowlett> ash_workz, start with          man screen
[13:12] <jackcom> du?
[13:12] <jackcom> dude?
[13:12] <iceroot> ash_workz: is "man screen" already helpful?
[13:13] <MonkeyDust> jackcom  du -h
[13:13] <cfhowlett> jackcom, open a terminal.  type du.  read the output
[13:13] <jackcom> du -h
[13:13] <jackcom> oh thakns MonkeyDust and cfhowlett :)
[13:13] <ash_workz> cfhowlett: erm... I meant the appropriate channel -- I am troubleshooting a specific error
[13:13] <iceroot> jackcom: du -sh /path/to/directory
[13:13] <cfhowlett> happy2help! jackcom
[13:14] <jackcom> i want know total disk usage.
[13:14] <iceroot> jackcom: df -h
[13:14] <jackcom> oh
[13:15] <ash_workz> it's cause I sudo'ed in
[13:15] <jackcom> Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
[13:15] <jackcom> Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
[13:15] <jackcom> ../dev/sda1        59G  4.0G   53G   7% /
[13:15] <jackcom> thanks
[13:16] <ash_workz> the solution is either to login as that user (dunno the pw anyway), or run `script /dev/null` ... is that safe?
[13:16] <ash_workz> or maybe I should just use the background command, hmm....
[13:38] <ash_workz> is there a popular terminal for Ubuntu other than the terminal? Poderosa perhaps? Idk... I used Poderosa windows...
[13:40] <BluesKaj> guake?
[13:40] <ash_workz> thanks BluesKaj I'll look into it
[13:41] <BluesKaj> ash_workz, it's a gnome drop down terminal
[13:41] <BluesKaj> !guake
[13:41] <ash_workz> ah, gnome is very popular.
[13:42] <BluesKaj> !info guake
[13:42] <BluesKaj> it should work in unity
[13:43] <ash_workz> BluesKaj: why is gnome so popular?
[13:43] <BluesKaj> I'm a kde user so I use yaluake
[13:43] <BluesKaj> .
[13:44] <ash_workz> kde == kubuntu desktop env?
[13:45] <k1l_> ash_workz: no. kde stands for something else. kubuntu just uses the kde desktop
[13:45] <BluesKaj> ash_workz, dunno, perhaps because it's a proven desktop that's easier load on the system than unity
[13:46] <Pici> ash_workz: its just the K Desktop Environment.
[13:46] <Pici> ash_workz: or knowing programmers, the KDE Desktop Environment ;)
[13:46] <BluesKaj> kde = kool desktop environment :-) , but it's used on many linux OSs
[13:47] <ash_workz> I see
[13:47] <Robr3rd> What would be the best way for me to transfer the contents of my current (live) HDD to an SSD? The HDD is 500GB and the SSD is 256GB so something like `dd` wouldn't work, but the *content* on the HDD will easily fit into the SSD
[13:47] <EriC^^> Robr3rd: rsync is great for that
[13:48] <EriC^^> sudo rsync -av /source /destination
[13:48] <Robr3rd> EriC^^, That's where I was headed, but I wasn't sure if I'd be able to use it while the system is running
[13:48] <ash_workz> BluesKaj: why did you choose Kubuntu?
[13:48] <EriC^^> Robr3rd: yeah you can
[13:48] <Robr3rd> EriC^^, That, and isn't there some business about the boot sector or something?
[13:48] <EriC^^> Robr3rd: what are you trying to do ultimately? a backup of the whole hdd?
[13:49] <EriC^^> plug and play backup?
[13:49] <Robr3rd> EriC^^, A transfer to the SSD that will be used as the primary. Once verified, the HDD will be wiped
[13:49] <hateball> clonezilla with -icds switch should let you clone to a smaller driver, provided there is space for the actual data
[13:50] <BluesKaj> ash_workz, because I don't care for gnome or unity and I find that kde is a more flexible desktop
[13:51] <ash_workz> BluesKaj: in what ways?
[13:51] <BluesKaj> !kde
[13:51] <EriC^> Robr3rd: i got disconnected
[13:51] <ash_workz> BluesKaj: I'm not attacking, I'm just interested... just like I want to know why Gnome is so popular
[13:51] <EriC^> sorry about that
[13:52] <Robr3rd> EriC^^, A transfer to the SSD that will be used as the primary. Once verified, the HDD will be wiped
[13:52] <BluesKaj> ash_workz, I know that, so read the post above
[13:52]  * ash_workz is reading
[13:53] <EriC^^> Robr3rd: ok, is it a uefi setup?
[13:54] <ash_workz> BluesKaj: I don't know that that answers my question... are you saying that you like the fact that it's a free community or that it maintains Plasma?
[13:54] <Robr3rd> EriC^^, Yes, but I can of course disable it
[13:56] <Guest58295> he guys do somebody know something fun to do with ubuntu
[13:56] <EriC^^> Robr3rd: you can use uefi with it easily
[13:57] <BluesKaj> ash_workz, neither , it's a darn good desktop and once configured it's easier to do what you want and also i prefer the look Tha's my s and themes available, that's all. Try it for yourself to find out.
[13:57] <latenite> Hi folks, what package contains 'hwinfo' ? I can not find it
[13:57] <EriC^^> Robr3rd: you'll need to modify /etc/fstab on the ssd, so it matches the uuid of the partitions on it
[13:57] <EriC^^> Robr3rd: do you have a live usb?
[13:58] <Robr3rd> EriC^^, Okay. So basically, I should be able to just fire off `rsync /dev/sdb1 /dev/sda1 && rsync /dev/sdb2 /dev/sda2` and so on for each partition (with some flag I'd imagine), and the just update the fstab in `/dev/sda1` (root) ?
[13:58] <Robr3rd> EriC^^, No. I can make one, but #1-I don't really feel like it if I can avoid it, and #2-Uptime is ideal
[13:58] <BluesKaj> ash_workz, ignore the "that's my s" ...should have deleted that
[13:59] <ash_workz> BluesKaj: there are quite a few things I am seeing about Plasma that are interesting: "This includes Plasma Desktop, KDE's innovative desktop interface. Other workspace applications are included to aid with system configuration, running programs, or interacting with hardware devices. While the fully integrated KDE Workspaces are only available on Linux and Unix, some of these features are...
[13:59] <ash_workz> ...available on other platforms. "
[13:59] <EriC^^> Robr3rd: no, rsync just copies dirs it can't handle the devices
[14:01] <Robr3rd> EriC^^, But those *are* directories (per "Unix-y-ness"), so why wouldn't it work? A recursive copy of contents should just run as a recursive copy of contents
[14:01] <BluesKaj> ash_workz, well th eonly thing to do is try it by installing kubuntu-desktop then choosing which desktop you want to use at the login page
[14:01] <latenite> I have found http://packages.ubuntu.com/wily/admin/hwinfo
[14:01] <latenite> but I can not install it
[14:01] <latenite> why?
[14:01] <EriC^^> Robr3rd: you need to 1) make a fresh gpt partition on the ssd, create a 300mb efi partition, and the rest of the partitions of the install, copy the install to the ssd with the partitions mounted (efi included), modify /etc/fstab to point to the new uuid's, and then reinstall grub from a chroot
[14:02] <EriC^^> Robr3rd: no, those are files not directories, files that represent the device
[14:03] <EriC^^> rsync doesn't understand that, it just copies files from a mounted filesystem, but it does it in a really awesome way using a differencing algorithm and checksums everything too
[14:04] <Robr3rd> EriC^^, Ah, okay. Thanks!
[14:04] <EriC^^> Robr3rd: also, you need to do stuff from a live usb, sorry about that
[14:05] <Robr3rd> EriC^^, Yeah...I kinda figured... ;) But hey, nice to have that confirmation at least

[14:45] <wvlf> somsip, yes
[14:45] <wvlf> somsip, and im using keyfile authentication with ssh
[14:45] <somsip> wvlf: can't you just remove all other users then?
[14:46] <wvlf> ive done that, im just being paranoid

[14:46] <leeyaa> never hurts to be paranoid
[14:46] <leeyaa> ;p
[14:46] <leeyaa> well except when you waste time

[14:47] <leeyaa> akkonrad: why would you need to restart docker after it has just started ;p
[14:49] <akkonrad> leeyaa, because it's not working sometimes as it should, need to additionaly restart service
[14:49] <akkonrad> donno why
[14:49] <leeyaa> then fix that instead of hacking your way

[15:28] <EriC^^> martin2: try the us.archive.ubuntu.com mirror
[15:28] <Infamous> I'd really like to test with a normal mouse but I am around the world currently only got my laptop
[15:28] <martin2> I will. Thnaks!
[15:29] <EriC^^> sure
[15:34] <Turnip_Green> Any good way get corsair link or t least said functionality in an Ubuntu machine?
[15:36] <MonkeyDust> Turnip_Green  find some suggestions here http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTgyMDc
[15:43] <dgarstang> Where could I find a minimal preseed for Ubuntu 14.04 ?
[15:46] <easyOnMe> is this the place to ask about how to implement https
[15:47] <easyOnMe> how to implement https servers
[15:47] <nacc_> dgarstang: what do you mean by "minimal"?
[15:47] <aravindkanna> .
[15:47] <nacc_> dgarstang: No Questions Asked?
[15:48] <trunk_monkey> easyOnMe: what do you mean install a web server w/ ssl cert?
[15:48] <nacc_> dgarstang: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Cobbler/Preseed is pretty complete for a full install
[15:48] <Dr-007> good day, im having trouble booting into my ubuntu installation on a dual boot system. im running windows 10 with an uefi bios system where i disabled secured boot. the problem is that i never get to grub to choose what OS i want to run.
[15:48] <grubhelp> hi, I have Ubuntu and Windows 7 on the same drive, the Windows 7 Partition has been encrypted with McAfee Disk Encryption, it has the boot flag, if you point to it  with grub it'd boot fine, the entry has now gone and I can't seem to recreate it without grub crashing, is there a way I can get back the older version?
[15:48] <teward> easyOnMe: implementation of HTTPS is dependent on the software you're using; if you need it for a website, you need to purchase an SSL certificate from a certification authority, and configure your web server to use that, serving the content in a secured way on port 443
[15:49] <ouroumov> Dr-007, Windows and Ubuntu are sharing a drive?
[15:50] <Dr-007> ouroumov, yes i split it up in the ubuntu installation tool
[15:50] <trunk_monkey> easyOnMe: to expand on what teward said, I would check out digitaloceans guides if I were you, there's usually really in-depth w/ screen shots which helps if you haven't done it before
[15:50] <dgarstang> nacc_: By minimal, I mean a minimal set of packages installed, no questions asked. :)
[15:50] <Dr-007> ouroumov, "it" = one drive
[15:50] <trunk_monkey> https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&es_th=1&ie=UTF-8#q=https%20digital%20ocean
[15:51] <easyOnMe> trunk_monkey: thanks
[15:51] <nacc_> dgarstang: well "minimal" packages varies from person to person -- just don't ask for any packages in your preseed
[15:51] <easyOnMe> teward: thanks
[15:51] <dgarstang> nacc_: The only one there is openssh, and I still got 1.3Gb used on the root partition.
[15:52] <dgarstang> nacc_: I know a debian minimal install is tiiiiiiny.
[15:52] <CarlFK> dgarstang - I'm still not sure what you want.  Ubuntu-server maybe?  (it is a small install, no desktop, just what is needed to apt-get more things
[15:52] <dgarstang> CarlFK: That's the source ISO I'm using
[15:52] <trunk_monkey> np easyOnMe, if you haven't already purchased an ssl cert, depending on your needs, might want to look into letsencrypt
[15:52] <ouroumov> Dr-007, have you tried running "boot-repair" from the liveCD/liveUSB?
[15:52] <CarlFK> dgarstang - so what are you looking for?
[15:53] <nacc_> dgarstang: debian != ubuntu
[15:53] <easyOnMe> trunk_monkey: ok
[15:53] <dgarstang> CarlFK: A minimum viable install of Ubuntu 14.04
[15:53] <easyOnMe> have you tried it before
[15:53] <dgarstang> nacc_: Sure
[15:53] <nacc_> dgarstang: so you want to trim out any packages you might not need from ubuntu? I think you will have to manually figure that out  by unselecting some packages
[15:53] <CarlFK> dgarstang - u-server.  which you have.  right?
[15:54] <dgarstang> CarlFK: Yah. But... 1.3Gb...
[15:54] <nacc_> dgarstang: if you want truly minimal fs impact, use a cloud image
[15:55] <dgarstang> nacc_: I'm building vagrant and aws ami's from official source (since packer doesn't let you rebundle an existing box), so I gotta use the ISO
[15:55] <CarlFK> dgarstang - what is 1.3g - the image or the resulting install?  (last I checked it was in the 2-400mb range
[15:55] <trunk_monkey> easyOnMe: yes, I followed this guide; worked like a charm https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-secure-apache-with-let-s-encrypt-on-ubuntu-14-04
[15:55] <dgarstang> CarlFK: That's the disk used on the root partition
[15:55] <al8989> hello, i was wondering how easy it is to upgrade a video card in ubuntu, i was going to upgrade the onbord geforce 6150 graphics to an 8500gt graphicsif it wasn;t too hard
[15:55] <nacc_> dgarstang: ah ok
[15:56] <dgarstang> nacc_: I'm also developing this, so I'll have to repeat the install a bazillion times. any time I can save will add up
[15:57] <Dr-007> ouromov, i did. i had to install it, then ran it. but it did not work. i also ran the liveUSB then mounted the internal partition with linux onthere, then chrooted inthere and grub-update which said it was adding  stuff to the boot loader
[15:57] <Dr-007> but after a reboot, no success
[15:57] <nacc_> dgarstang: yep, understood, not sure off the top of my head
[15:57] <Dr-007> it just does not get to my bootloader.
[15:57] <dgarstang> nacc_: Okidoki. No worries.
[15:58] <dgarstang> I wonder if I can REMOVE packages in the ubuntu preseed?
[15:59] <sruli> i need some help from a good sys admin, i will pay for it, i need help with some custom boot/poweroff scripts anyone around that can give some time ?
[15:59] <CarlFK> dgarstang: quick skimming found https://github.com/kraksoft/vagrant-box-ubuntu  http://www.vagrantbox.es/ says the image is 384mb
[15:59] <nolsen> E: The package google-chrome-stable needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
[16:00] <nacc_> sruli: i believe that is offtopic
[16:00] <MonsterWorld> is there some french people here ?
[16:00] <dgarstang> CarlFK: I need a lot of customization, and it's critical that the vagrant box and the AWS AMI be built from the same source file
[16:00] <Krapulat> Hello, I want to run PHP7 and PHP5.5 simultaneosly in a production server. I want the main to be php7. What is the best way to do that?
[16:00] <dgarstang> CarlFK: How they got 384mb, i dunno
[16:01] <morkymorra> hello. I just installed ubuntu 14.04 with compiz. How do I find/set the keyboard shortcut to take me to the applications menu?
[16:01] <sruli> nacc_: why off topic? i asked my questions here a few times in the past, did not get a response, i guess it might be complex, i understand no one wants to volunteer, so i am ready to pay for the help, i need this help on ubuntu. cant see why its off topic
[16:02] <Bassem> how can i mount cue files
[16:02] <cwarner> patches out for DROWN yet?
[16:02] <CarlFK> dgarstang: https://github.com/kraksoft/vagrant-box/blob/master/build-ubuntu.sh  ISO_URL="http://releases.ubuntu.com/releases/15.04/ubuntu-15.04-server-amd64.iso"
[16:02] <bunjee> can anyone let me know how to recover a su password?
[16:02] <nacc_> Krapulat: not possible (or won't be) with ubuntu
[16:02] <easyOnMe> trunk_monkey: I already have a web server launched online
[16:02] <CarlFK> dgarstang: I am suspicious of your 1.3g u-server.   I think you installed something else that dragged in a gig of stuff when you weren't looking ;)
[16:03] <sruli> bunjee: see http://askubuntu.com/questions/24006/how-do-i-reset-a-lost-administrative-password
[16:03] <trunk_monkey> easyOnMe: apache or ngnix
[16:03] <easyOnMe> trunk_monkey: if I implement https will there be any undue errors that will happen just in case assuming the I followed the linked you gave me down to the last letter of it
[16:03] <easyOnMe> apache
[16:03] <easyOnMe> same os
[16:03] <easyOnMe> ubuntu 14.04
[16:04] <Krapulat> nacc_: Can I use the ubuntu pacakge for main php and then install and compile manually the secondary version?
[16:04] <Guest90639> ping
[16:04] <bunjee> sruli-ok...........I'll give it a try.....thanx!
[16:04] <trunk_monkey> easyOnMe: the guide assumes you already have apache installed, should be able to follow it to the letter
[16:05] <easyOnMe> trunk_monkey: ok thanks
[16:05] <dgarstang> CarlFK: I guess. the only pkgsel stuff is "d-i pkgsel/include string openssh-server ntp", "d-i pkgsel/upgrade select full-upgrade"
[16:05] <sethj> Do we know if mir is shiping with 16.04?
[16:06] <baizon> sethj: no mir by default with 16.04. 16.10 it is
[16:06] <sethj> baizon, lol, didn't they say that with 15.10? xD Do you happen to have a source I can link to ?
[16:08] <baizon> sethj: https://i.imgur.com/plQvwch.jpg
[16:08] <dummy_> ping
[16:09] <dummy_> can i ask something?
[16:09] <nacc_> Krapulat: brb will respond shortly
[16:09] <baizon> !ask | dummy_
[16:10] <minas114> lotuspsychje, Hello! I asked about fsck running on every boot two days ago, and you told me to try a clean install. I did it, and it doesn't run on every boot, if the kernel is 4.2. With 4.4, it does run every boot, so it was the kernel... I'm interested to know what might be causing this, if you happen to know :)
[16:10] <easyOnMe> trunk_monkey: man I made a mistake I overlook something
[16:10] <Neuthrone> I downloaded the 4.2.30-generic kernel, and I'm fine, I don't know if System76 makes there own kernel versions, or if it prefers to boot on my laptop.
[16:11] <easyOnMe> trunk_monkey: I used this command: ./letsencrypt-auto --apache -d example.com
[16:11] <easyOnMe> instead of this: ./letsencrypt-auto --apache -d example.com -d www.example.com
[16:11] <easyOnMe> what can I do
[16:13] <trunk_monkey> I would just run ./letsencrypt-auto --apache  -d www.example.com
[16:13] <trunk_monkey> Should be fine
[16:13] <trunk_monkey> of course replace www.example.com w/ your actual domain
[16:14] <bunjee> sruli - you still on?
[16:15] <easyOnMe> trunk_monkey: oh ok
[16:15] <easyOnMe> thanks
[16:16] <bunjee> I'm using Kubuntu - how do I reset my password?
[16:16] <bunjee> my su password....
[16:16] <trunk_monkey> sudo passwd
[16:16]  * Bl4ckD34tH hello boys and girls
[16:17] <trunk_monkey> top of the morning Bl4ckD34tH
[16:18] <bunjee> trunk-monkey................thank you - it worked!
[16:18] <trunk_monkey> or just passwd bunjee if your updating pw for current user
[16:18] <trunk_monkey> OK cool np
[16:19] <easyOnMe> trunk_monkey: http://imgur.com/XzacWYK
[16:19] <easyOnMe> I got that after I issued the last command you gave me
[16:19] <easyOnMe> what should I do?
[16:21] <trunk_monkey> did you try the default-ssl.conf? I'm not sure I didn't run into that
[16:22] <nacc_> Krapulat: back
[16:22] <al8989> hello, i was wondering how easy it is to upgrade a video card in ubuntu, i was going to upgrade the onbord geforce 6150 graphics to an 8500gt graphics if it wasn't too hard
[16:23] <nacc_> Krapulat: you can of course do that, there would be no support for your php5 based install, and you'll have to follow security updates manually
[16:23] <nacc_> Krapulat: a safer approach would be to have a trusty VM and a xenial VM (or whatever isolation method you want to use) and run two services
[16:24] <trunk_monkey> al8989: video card upgrade would be hardware; ubuntu should detect the hardware change. Would probably need to chose proprietary driver after new card is installed though
[16:24] <nacc_> Krapulat: ondrej is going to be maintaining his PPA for coinstallable php5 and php7, but there, again, you run into support problems potnetially
[16:25] <al8989> ah ok cool i had an pc that just dieed and figured it's working video card into my other pc tht ahs the 6150 graphic as that would be a boot in the graphics capability
[16:25] <al8989> right?
[16:25] <bunjee> trunk_monkey - where are the steps to operate XBMC fully functional?
[16:25] <Krapulat> nacc_: right now I have PHP7 installed via ondrej PPA. Now i’m trying to install PHP5.5 from source using a different —prefix, is that ok?
[16:26] <dgarstang> Dang, still can't find out what preseed.cfg file to use for an ubuntu-minimal install
[16:26] <trunk_monkey> bunjee: XMBC is known as kodi now - I would try to google kodi ubuntu server 14.04 or whatever version you're running
[16:26] <trunk_monkey> Should be good guides on the front page
[16:27] <al8989> trunk_monkey: iam using ubuntu 14.04 on the system i am adding the video card to
[16:27] <trunk_monkey> al8989: yeah you'll be good just swap the card w/ the PC turned off and unplugged of course and it hsould detect the hardware change at boot time
[16:27] <bunjee> trunk_monkey - okie dokie
[16:28] <al8989> very good thank you
[16:28] <nacc_> Krapulat: why wouldn't you just use his PPA for 5? what version of ubuntu?
[16:28] <al8989> trunk_ monkey: very good thank you
[16:28] <trunk_monkey> it will use a generic driver at first, but look in proprietary driver tabs and check to see if ubuntu detects a different one, or just google 8500gt ubuntu driver
[16:29] <Krapulat> nacc_: 14.04. I’m trying to do manually because I have no installed any VM.
[16:29] <al8989> trunk_monkey well ince they wereboth nvidia card i did not think there would be a problem but wanted to make sure
[16:30] <nacc_> Krapulat: i think his PPA has both in it? if you're willing to use his for 7, why woulnd't you for 5?
[16:30] <easyOnMe> trunk_monkey: I got it correctly now
[16:31] <easyOnMe> how come I am still able to access my site even with the use of http
[16:31] <mike3620>  http://paste.ubuntu.com/15260076/ can some one help me get squid3 in pfsense working, it blocks everything
[16:31] <trunk_monkey> there's a setting in the apache config to tell it to use 443 exclusively
[16:31] <Krapulat> nacc_: it can be two versions of PHP using the same PPA? When I installed PHP7, it automatically deleted the php5.5 version.
[16:31] <sruli> i need some help from a good sys admin, i will pay for it, i need help with some custom boot/poweroff scripts anyone around that can give some time ?
[16:31] <trunk_monkey> maybe try a reboot if you've already set that, might take a little google-fu but you're in the home stretch
[16:31] <ksx4system> is it possible to run a script right after lightdm screen unlock?
[16:32] <nacc_> Krapulat: his ppa is supposed to be for coinstallable, iirc
[16:32] <al8989> i also have another issue with my network printer it's an hp officjet 8600 and connected wirelessly to my network but ubuntu can't always print to it sometimes i have to delete the printer and than set itup again to get it to work .  It appears that when it does not work theip address of the printer has changed, however, my windows computers do not make me delete and reconfigure the printer when this happens
[16:32] <nacc_> Krapulat: it's php5.6 and php7.0 there
[16:33] <Neuthrone> Zed IDE is not running on the 4.2.30-generic kernel. Every time I try to run zed, it gives me "Found PID 30490 bound to PID file "/var/run/zed.pid". What do I do?
[16:33] <sruli> ksx4system: add it to startup. in menu find Startup Applications > add script /path there
[16:33] <nacc_> Krapulat: you should read his ppa's page? https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/ubuntu/php/
[16:33] <Krapulat> nacc_: then no need to install it automatically right?
[16:34] <Krapulat> *manually
[16:34] <ksx4system> sruli, is it possible to do it with just openbox instead of regular bloated UI?
[16:34] <nacc_> Krapulat: huh? you have to tell your system to install php5.6 -- oh do you mean from src? right no, shouldn't be needed
[16:34] <dgarstang> Geez, why is there no standard minimal ubuntu install pressed.cfg file?
[16:35] <al8989> i also have another issue with my network printer it's an hp officjet 8600 and connected wirelessly to my network but ubuntu can't always print to it sometimes i have to delete the printer and than set itup again to get it to work . It appears that when it does not work theip address of the printer has changed, however, my windows computers do not make me delete and reconfigure the printer when this happens isthere anything i can to
[16:35] <al8989> makeubuntu behave the same?
[16:36] <trunk_monkey> I just realized I have never printed off from any linux system; sorry, no idea
[16:37] <easyOnMe> trunk_monkey: Not valid for "www.example.com"   CONFUSING
[16:37] <easyOnMe> what does it mean
[16:37] <easyOnMe> is it an error or something
[16:37] <trunk_monkey> You changed 'example.com' to your URL when pasting those commands, just making sure, right?
[16:38] <sruli> ksx4system: look at non GUi approach here http://askubuntu.com/questions/24006/how-do-i-reset-a-lost-administrative-password
[16:38] <al8989> trunk_monkey: ah ok it just stinks that ubuntu won't automatically find and use the new ip address of the printer when it changes where windows will usethenew ip adress without me doing a thing
[16:38] <sruli> ksx4system: sorru wrong url ... http://askubuntu.com/questions/48321/how-do-i-start-applications-automatically-on-login

[16:38] <luist> im trying to convert mp4 to webm videos, but its going too slow. is there any way to fasten it? this is what im using: avconv -i "$1" -c:v libvpx -qmin 10 -qmax 42 -maxrate 500k -bufsize 1000k -threads 2 -c:a $output
[16:39] <trunk_monkey> its dependent on your cpu luist
[16:39] <easyOnMe> trunk_monkey: thank you so much for the help man
[16:39] <easyOnMe> I learned a lot again today
[16:39] <easyOnMe> thanks
[16:39] <luist> trunk_monkey: do you know if -maxrate and -bufsize affects the quality of the webm video?
[16:40] <trunk_monkey> np glad I could help, I love the Digital Ocean guides for common stuff, always start there for SSH, VPN, VNC, HTTP, etc
[16:40] <htcoder> youtube downloder for ubuntu ?
[16:40] <MonkeyDust> htcoder  youtube-dl
[16:40] <ksx4system> sruli, running apps on new session is nowhere close to running something when LightDM *unlocks screen* (like, after suspend)
[16:40] <Krapulat> nacc_: thank you very much. It worked perfectly :)
[16:40] <easyOnMe> trunk_monkey: yup
[16:40] <easyOnMe> but I just want to ask though
[16:41] <nacc_> Krapulat: thank ondrej :)
[16:41] <easyOnMe> how come I can still access my site using http
[16:41] <easyOnMe> or is it my server doing the forcing of http into https
[16:41] <trunk_monkey> luist: I'm sure there are paremeters that will give you better performance, I'm not sure exactly which one's unfortunately. In my case, the bottleneck was hardware...
[16:42] <sruli> ksx4system: sorry i though u meant after login
[16:42] <easyOnMe> trunk_monkey: do you know of a tutorial to change the htacces file to redirect into https
[16:43] <zykotick9> luist: note, webm _is_ generally slow to convert to :|
[16:43] <dgarstang> MonkeyDust: I can give it a try, do you know what size root disk that ends up installing?
[16:43] <ksx4system> sruli, Openbox has its own script to autostart stuff (~/.config/openbox/autostart) :-)
[16:44] <sruli> ksx4system: try these links http://askubuntu.com/questions/204073/how-to-run-script-after-resume-and-after-unlocking-screen http://askubuntu.com/questions/204073/how-to-run-script-after-resume-and-after-unlocking-screen
[16:44] <trunk_monkey> luist: this first answer is pretty thorough, might help you http://askubuntu.com/questions/352920/fastest-way-to-convert-videos-batch-or-single
[16:45] <MonkeyDust> dgarstang  no, not familiar with it myself
[16:46] <dgarstang> MonkeyDust: Shall find out in a moment
[16:46] <ksx4system> sruli: thnx
[16:46] <trunk_monkey> easyOnMe: in  httpd-ssl.conf is it set to listen on 443?
[16:46] <trunk_monkey> have you restarted apache?
