[00:04] <kur1j> im having trouble getting KVM/Openstack to do do PCI Passthrough. Whenever I go to launch a VM it states that the device is already in use. I already followed this guide http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/How_to_assign_devices_with_VT-d_in_KVM IOMMU looks to be enabled. The GPU im trying to do passthrough with does have an "audio" device that I do the unbind and bind to as well but keep getting same
[00:04] <kur1j> error.
[00:04] <scj643> I'm having trouble with unity not changing themes in 14.04.3
[00:06] <kur1j> if I do echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:1c\:00.1/remove for the secondary device the whole box reboots
[00:06] <kur1j> when I try to create another KVM instance
[00:06] <vervet> SchrodingersResc: are you pinging by ip or hostname?
[00:07] <scj643> When I go to change themes or icons it applies to everything but unity
[00:09] <scj643> And unity --replace sends me to light DM and signs me out
[00:09] <k1l> scj643: are those themes for unity?
[00:09] <scj643> Numix icon set
[00:09] <k1l> scj643: change themes in unity-tweak-tool
[00:09] <scj643> Doing that
[00:10] <scj643> Changes for everything but unity
[00:10] <SchrodingersResc> vervet: both work
[00:10] <SchrodingersResc> vervet: which is weird, ping works, but not ssh
[00:11] <k1l> SchrodingersResc: wrong port? or wrong username?
[00:11] <scj643> Could my xorg settings cause this
[00:11] <vervet> SchrodingersResc: well that rules dns out.. on a wrong port/username I get "connection refused", though
[00:11] <SchrodingersResc> k1l: nope, been standard 22, username is the same across devices.
[00:12] <SchrodingersResc> I can chroot in with a rescue mode, in there now.
[00:12] <nname31> hello, i give in terminal [lscpu] and output http://paste.debian.net/418474/       my cpu is 32bit or 64bit?
[00:13] <Blakes5> nname31,  what does Architecture list?
[00:13] <kur1j> its 64bit
[00:13] <kur1j> http://ark.intel.com/products/37253/Intel-Pentium-Processor-T4300-1M-Cache-2_10-GHz-800-MHz-FSB
[00:13] <k1l> nname31: its 64bit capcable
[00:14] <nname31> very thx
[00:15] <vervet> SchrodingersResc: ssh daemon is definitely running on the target machine, yeah? any firewall?
[00:15] <Tin_man> hello all, I've a question on symlinks.  I'm running a newely install Ubuntu Server with my 40gb boot drive, and a 80gb sdb1 drive 1 partition. It's mounted at /media.  I've made some folders from /mount /slavehome etc etc. I'm wanting to make a symlink of /media/slavehome, but don't want to if /media is already a symlink cause i've that will really mess things up.
[00:15] <SchrodingersResc> vervet: didn't believe there was a firewall
[00:16] <scj643> So any idea why unity isn't changing icon themes
[00:16] <Sbur> Aside from knowing by yourself, how can I figure out if I have a pci or a pcie slot available? I have an MS7502 (LGA775) keyboard
[00:17] <vervet> SchrodingersResc: ok, and sshd running too?
[00:17] <SchrodingersResc> vervet: or looks like ufw is on there?
[00:17] <SchrodingersResc> vervet: hard to confirm when I'm not ssh'd in.
[00:18] <vervet> SchrodingersResc: maybe get nmap and port scan it?
[00:19] <vervet> SchrodingersResc: if port definitely was unchanged, if the machine is listening on 22 then most likely sshd would be running
[00:19] <SchrodingersResc> vervet: what line do you suggest? about to reboot it for a test.
[00:19] <SchrodingersResc> vervet: I definitely see "Port 22" on sshd_config
[00:20] <vervet> SchrodingersResc: is this is on the machine you're trying to ssh into? could you do a ps -ef | grep sshd?
[00:21] <SchrodingersResc> vervet: nope, I can only get in from a rescue mode that my provider offers. I could probably work out how to get it to email me that using the chroot and a cron though...
[00:23] <vervet> SchrodingersResc: yeah it'd be good to confirm the daemon is running + listening on 22
[00:26] <_cake> hello everyone
[00:27] <_cake> besides using compiz, themes, fonts and unity tweak tool, what other things can I do to rice up ubuntu?
[00:27] <SchrodingersResc> vervet: well, when I nmap scan it, 22 does not show up
[00:30] <vervet> SchrodingersResc: if you got other open ports in the results, most likely either daemon's not running, or listening on a different port
[00:30] <SchrodingersResc> vervet: k, so lets roll with it may not be running, what's step two?
[00:32] <vervet> SchrodingersResc: that's the hard part.. you gotta get some sort of access to the machine
[00:32] <SchrodingersResc> vervet: going back to the chroot now, does that help?
[00:33] <vervet> SchrodingersResc: yep any sort of access, what version are you running?
[00:35] <SchrodingersResc> vervet: Description: Ubuntu 15.10
[00:36] <vervet> SchrodingersResc: try: 1. systemctl enable sshd 2. systemctl start sshd (you'll need either sudo or root)
[00:37] <SchrodingersResc> vervet: Running in chroot, ignoring request.
[00:44] <SchrodingersResc> vervet: k, rebooting, did a few things and put some crontabs for @reboot ps -ef | grep sshd , etc.
[00:45] <vervet> SchrodingersResc: to both those commands, right? I'm thinking start sshd somehow, then ssh into the machine and enable service.. i get the same chroot error you got when i tried to do the same just now
[00:46] <SchrodingersResc> I also put @reboot service ssh start, idk if that helps :^)
[00:46] <vervet> good idea, hope so, it's essentially what systemctl would've done
[00:47] <SchrodingersResc> vervet: still refused :(
[00:48] <SchrodingersResc> vervet: would I need to log into that user for the crontab to run?
[00:50] <SchrodingersResc> vervet: these are the ports that are open, I'm not even sure why, http://paste.ubuntu.com/15484168/
[00:51] <vervet> SchrodingersResc: was the crontab for root? you may need to do it as root is all
[00:51] <SchrodingersResc> vervet: yes, it was as root
[00:52] <SchrodingersResc> vervet: and it didn't seem to run any of them, because first one was to text me that info.
[00:52] <vervet> SchrodingersResc: so is the crontab able to run anything @reboot at all?
[00:53] <SchrodingersResc> vervet: nope, doesn't seem to
[00:53] <lVathan> Hi I set up ubuntu LTS on a remote server and it is not recognizing the .bashrc file. Can anyone help me out?
[00:55] <vervet> SchrodingersResc: that sucks, is this a cloud server? you may need to submit a ticket to get someone to do it on console
[00:55] <SchrodingersResc> vervet: nope, a dedi
[00:55] <EriC^^> lVathan: how do you mean? how are you logging in?
[00:56] <lVathan> ssh in from local computer
[00:56] <freeziekat> having issues with retroarch lanuching psx games crom CLI
[00:56] <freeziekat> can anyone help?
[00:56] <EriC^^> lVathan: what shell does the user have?
[00:56] <EriC^^> lVathan: grep <user> /etc/passwd
[00:56] <lVathan> on local or remote?
[00:56] <EriC^^> lVathan: on remote
[00:57] <SchrodingersResc> vervet: this isn't the first time things have gone sideways, so I have a very recent backup, just seems like my files are there, so just need sshd
[00:58] <lVathan> EriC^^: :x:1001:1001
[00:58] <lVathan> ?
[00:58] <EriC^^> no the last thing
[00:59] <lVathan> its just my name and /home/username
[00:59] <EriC^^> no /bin/bash at the end?
[00:59] <lVathan> nope
[00:59] <EriC^^> ok, that's the problem
[00:59] <lVathan> ok
[00:59] <lVathan> is there a way to fix it?
[00:59] <EriC^^> type sudo chsh <user> -s /bin/bash
[01:00] <lVathan> ok now /bin/bash is there
[01:00] <lVathan> should i log out and back in?
[01:00] <SchrodingersResc> vervet: I think I surrender and will do a reinstall tonight. I kinda like this thing being up.
[01:00] <EriC^^> yeah
[01:00] <lVathan> wooo!
[01:00] <lVathan> many thanks
[01:00] <EriC^^> :D
[01:00] <EriC^^> np
[01:00] <lVathan> any idea why that happened?
[01:01] <EriC^^> how'd you create the user?
[01:01] <lVathan> useradd i think?
[01:01] <SchrodingersResc> I prefer adduser but that's me
[01:01] <vervet> SchrodingersResc: if you have a backup it's easy to restore from, sure, otherwise you'll most likely need console access to restart the daemon
[01:01] <EriC^^> not sure if that sets the shell, there's adduser though and it sets almost everything
[01:02] <lVathan> ok i guess i probably used the wrong one
[01:02] <lVathan> thanks
[01:02] <SchrodingersResc> vervet: huge question of why that would stop in the first place though :(
[01:03] <vervet> SchrodingersResc: do you remember what changes you might've made to the sshd_config on there?
[01:04] <SchrodingersResc> vervet: I even had a copy of the original as sshd_config.orig and copying it over did nothing
[01:04] <SchrodingersResc> and rebooting, of course
[01:04] <SchrodingersResc> vervet: I just pressed the button, it's over.
[01:04] <SchrodingersResc> vervet: thank you for your time.
[01:05] <vervet> SchrodingersResc: no worries, good luck
[01:05] <SchrodingersResc> once I get my bash scripts back it should be easy peasy, thanks.
[01:05] <vervet> SchrodingersResc: backups are the best thing in the world :)
[01:05] <SchrodingersResc> they truly are

[01:10] <sector_0> what happens if I don't execute "aticonfig --intital" after installing the AMD proprietary drivers?
[01:10] <SchrodingersResc> vervet: it had been months since I had rebooted, was that maybe a bad idea?
[01:12] <ubuntu358> help me! i can't run ubuntu livecd :(
[01:13] <Hitechcg> ubuntu358: hint: give more details
[01:13] <ubuntu358> used both dd and startup creator to flash 14.04/15.10 on usb and got this http://i.imgur.com/RxnSygu.png
[01:14] <vervet> SchrodingersResc: well certain things you have reboot with, like a kernel upgrade etc
[01:14] <maxtimbo> yo, so I'm trying to remap keys on my logitech g710 using xev and xmodmap. I have been able to remap some of the keys, simply making them all press period. The last three keys, however, are mapped to XF86 commands, specifically AudioMicMute, TouchpadToggle, and TouchpadOn. How can I remap these last three keys?
[01:14] <SchrodingersResc> vervet: yeah, had gone past 3-4 of those
[01:15] <vervet> SchrodingersResc: on a server unless you really really have to, i'd say skip reboot
[01:16] <SchrodingersResc> vervet: yeah, they're a killer for me x_x
[01:17] <vervet> $ uptime
[01:18] <vervet> i'll pastebin it lol one sec
[01:18] <ubuntu358> help! can't run livecd. used both dd and startup creator to flash 14.04/15.10 on usb and got this http://i.imgur.com/RxnSygu.png
[01:19] <kur1j> bad download?

[01:20] <kur1j> i honestly hate dealing with ISOs and crap with windows
[01:21] <vervet> SchrodingersResc: ubuntu was giving me trouble lol, http://paste.debian.net/418482/
[01:22] <nedstark> that app is good though
[01:22] <liuub> Hello, I was wondering if Ubuntu was going to require an Ubuntu account in the future to use applications when Ubuntu switches to snappy?
[01:22] <liuub> Right now I can apt-get any application I want without an Ubuntu account, will I be forced to make an account when Ubuntu switches to snappy?
[01:22] <kur1j> nedstark: yeah, ive used it before. It won't creat all bootable drives though
[01:23] <nedstark> liuub: i doubt it, and even if they do, someone will fork it, oops too late they already forked it several dozen times
[01:23] <gtn> nedstark, lol
[01:23] <kur1j> im still confused as hell what these tools do
[01:24] <SchrodingersResc> vervet: that's pretty nice

[01:53] <help> hello
[01:59] <Klumsy> i need help completely purging wine from my system
[01:59] <Klumsy> i got into it with some 32bit VST plugins and the whole thing went up in flames
[01:59] <Klumsy> i can just use audacity
[01:59] <Klumsy> it was just an experiment
[02:00] <Klumsy> no matter what i do windows proggies can still open as if wine were installed
[02:00] <Klumsy> sudo apt-get remove --purge wine
[02:00] <Klumsy> and nothing
[02:01] <Klumsy> first of all its an old version of wine... 1.6 or something and the app i tried to install didnt go gold till 1.8
[02:01] <hrob> hi
[02:01] <Klumsy> i am using 15.10, which has been problematic for audio
[02:01] <Klumsy> hi
[02:02] <hrob> So noticed my grub boot loader has not been showing up on reboot --- it may have happened at some point when I swapped the sata connectors to accommodate a new disk
[02:03] <hrob> I then followed ubuntu wiki instructions just sudo grub-install /dev/sdb
[02:03] <hrob> sdb being my linux disk
[02:04] <hrob> ubuntu keeps booting fine, however I never see the GRUB bootloader... or it appears so fast that I don't notice
[02:04] <Klumsy> prolly what it is
[02:04] <Klumsy> prolly grub options
[02:05] <Klumsy> thats the problem with ubuntu, it works so well everyone uses it for years and then forgets how they set it all up
[02:05] <Klumsy> not like windows in the 90s where we were basically iinstalling it every day
[02:06] <hrob> Klumsy:  sorry you mean grub is just not showing up because I have the wrong grub option?
[02:07] <Klumsy> its just 0 seconds
[02:07] <Klumsy> i dont know, been so long since i had to dual boot
[02:07] <Klumsy> been using wine!
[02:07] <Klumsy> which is broken
[02:08] <Klumsy> aren't there ways to configure the amount of time it takes to select the OS?
[02:08] <heman2> new to linux xchat not new to irc channels i wonder why i can run search and latest and get results but no Downloads start or prompt me for accept?
[02:08] <heman2> any help be great guys thanks
[02:08] <Ben64> heman2: what?
[02:09] <heman2> new to linux xchat not new to irc channels i wonder why i can run search and latest and get results but no Downloads start or prompt me for accept?
[02:09] <hrob> grub dont have a plain config file any more - has a grub.d folder
[02:09] <vfw> heman2: No downloads start from _______________?
[02:09] <Klumsy> wine --version                            wine-1.6.2
[02:10] <vfw> heman2: What exactly are you trying to do?
[02:10] <heman2> any channel AlphaIRc Criten
[02:10] <heman2> download latest tv show
[02:10] <vfw> heman2: From?
[02:10] <Klumsy> how do i upgrade wine to 1.8?
[02:10] <Ben64> herb: i think you're in the wrong channel. this is for Ubuntu support only
[02:11] <vfw> heman2: eztv.com?
[02:11] <heman2> oh ok now just channel commands in general not here in Ubuntu channel
[02:11] <Ben64> Klumsy: https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu use the repository there, but it isn't supported here
[02:12] <Ben64> heman2: this channel is for ubuntu support only, not irc support, definitely not for copyright infringement
[02:12] <vfw> heman2: I think Ben64 is correct, doesnt seem like anything you are describing is a Ubuntu related issue.
[02:12] <heman2> thanks no not Ubuntu related
[02:19] <elh9> hello
[02:20] <lungaro> anyone here familiar with upstart? I'm trying to "fake" some events so other services will start, but I can't seem to make it work. I must be missing something very basic
[02:21] <elh9> to share a folder twice with samba, with separate permissions, ie. one share requires login and has write access, the other share is read only and guest, but both of the same folder, would you need to do a bind mount of the folder to another location?
[02:21] <lungaro> here is my upstart task https://gist.github.com/sigmonsays/44a9c218cfdb431761a3
[02:21] <Ben64> elh9: i don't see why that would be necessary
[02:22] <elh9> Ben64: ok cool, so it is possible to share the same location twice with different permissions then? I'm just having problems setting it up and trying to figure out why
[02:22] <Ben64> elh9: as long as the share name is different
[02:22] <elh9> can get both types of share going by themselves, but not together
[02:23] <elh9> Ben64:  ok thnks, i will persist with my settings and try to get it working
[02:23] <Ben64> you should be using share based security or authentication or whatever it's called
[02:24] <elh9> hrm  i think i must just have a few settings wrong and it's causing some issues
[02:24] <elh9> i'll keep playing
[02:27] <hrob> I purged grub and reinstalled -- the menu now shows up
[02:27] <hrob> however it looks different ... now its blue colored, and I get a scrolling text from the kernel while it boots up
[02:28] <hrob> previously ubuntu had all this in purple and hid any boot loading messages
[02:31] <Bashing-om> hrob:  GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="splash quiet" in /etc/default/grub ?
[02:34] <lee_g750jm> question App Armor worth it
[02:34] <lee_g750jm> or is it a waste of time
[02:35] <lungaro> lee_g750jm, i'd recommend using selinux but something is better than nothing if you really care about security
[02:35] <lee_g750jm> ok
[02:38] <jeffreylevesque> when i do `sudo apt-cache policy redis-server`, i get "2:<IP_ADDRESS>".  Is the version `2:<IP_ADDRESS>`, or `<IP_ADDRESS>`?
[02:41] <ImJune> I would say the 1 with the colon is the version
[02:42] <Bashing-om> !info redis-server trusty
[02:44] <dax> jeffreylevesque: the 2: is called the package's "epoch", and is not part of the redis upstream version number
[02:45] <dax> the version number is 2:2.8.4-2. remove the 2: and the -2, the upstream version is 2.8.4
[02:59] <lee_g750jm> apparmor is installed by default  in 14.04.4
[03:04] <hrob> how can I enter boot options using the bootable usb?
[03:05] <hrob> It seems I must be able to set nomodeset and nolapic -- I get this purple screen with keyboard and stuff, but it soon continues to unsuccessfully loading bootable ubuntu
[03:20] <Bashing-om> hrob: Boot the usb, as soon as the bios screen clears depress and hold a shift key (EFI system is the escape key) -> language screen, escape key to accept the default -> boot options screen -> F6 key ,
[03:21] <jeffreylevesque> i'm trying to install 'redis-server', and getting https://bpaste.net/show/0def0d8848d3
[03:21] <jeffreylevesque> but, apt-get repository for ubuntu 14.04 was updated before my attempt
[03:22] <dax> 2:2.8.4-2 isn't 2:<IP_ADDRESS>
[03:22] <jeffreylevesque> shoot :(
[03:22] <jeffreylevesque> thank you
[03:26] <brendenyule> What is the best way to get urxvt 9.2 in Ubuntu? I have been looking, but I'm not finding anything
[03:30] <dax> which version of Ubuntu?
[03:31] <hrob> Bashing-om:  thanks
[03:31] <hrob> Bashing-om:  I now realize that no boot option will fix my problem -- issue is I have nvidia-9xx gtx graphics card
[03:32] <hrob> Bashing-om:  and only the proprietary nvidia driver supports it
[03:32] <hrob> Bashing-om:  I guess I cannot activate nvidia drive in boot options
[03:32] <bray90820> How would i stare an app from the terminal?
[03:32] <hrob> Bashing-om:   its a pickle because even the isntaller wants xwindows running
[03:33] <hrob> Bashing-om:   there used to be a ncurses type installer I think
[03:35] <Klumsy> HELP
[03:35] <efisto> hi im new user of linux, i come from windows and need a lot of help ahahaha, specially with softwares, most of the game i download dont have the equivalent of the "exe" thay just open folders that i dont know where to save and no aplication tu run just text things
[03:35] <Klumsy> how the heck is wine so messed up?
[03:36] <Klumsy> isnt there a way to force the system to upgrade it?
[03:36] <Klumsy> the new version is 1.8 and my app just went gold in it
[03:36] <Klumsy> i tried using the forums but the advice left me to believe that if i purged and deleted all the files i would be ok
[03:37] <Klumsy> well for some reason it wont install 1.8 and the ./wine folder is now deleted so i cant eve use .16!!!4
[03:37] <Klumsy> HELP
[03:38] <Klumsy> all because i need an EE in linux
[03:38] <Klumsy> and audacity doesn't have one
[03:38] <hrob> Is there any way to have my bootable usb boot to console?
[03:38] <Klumsy> does anyone have an EE in linux????
[03:38] <hrob> and then install the latest nvidia driver onto the usb stick?
[03:39] <hrob> looks like I'm out of luck with installing ubuntu without a usb with correct nvidia driver
[03:40] <abhishek> hi guys
[03:40] <efisto> this is useless u.u
[03:40] <abhishek> I have been stuck at this issue and couldn't find any solutions online: http://askubuntu.com/questions/749521/fixing-grub-rescue
[03:40] <mewecoffee> efisto: first lesson, there a different types of executable scripts I would google 'exe equivalent for linux' and read a bit. that folder that opens up should have a .deb or a launchable file like that
[03:41] <Klumsy> is there an elliptical equalizer for linux?
[03:41] <Klumsy> no
[03:41] <Klumsy> there is not
[03:41] <abhishek> any suggestions :)
[03:42] <mewecoffee> abhishek: I wish I could help, I've only ever run grub boot repair (just the basics) when dual booting, never had any complexities like that
[03:43] <hrob> efisto:  http://www.tldp.org/LDP/intro-linux/html/intro-linux.html#AEN2004
[03:44] <Klumsy> my install of wine is completely broken in 15.10
[03:44] <Klumsy> what do i do
[03:44] <Klumsy> ?
[03:45] <Bashing-om> !nomodeset
[03:45] <Bashing-om> hrob: ^^
[03:46] <abhishek> mewecoffee: okay, no problems.
[03:48] <Klumsy> i need a plugin to master audio that i have made with linux that has serious phase problems. there is no plugin for linux that can solve this. unfortunately all my audio software is NOW IN LINUX
[03:48] <Klumsy> HELP
[03:48] <Klumsy> HOW CAN YOU PRESS VINYL???
[03:48] <Klumsy> there is not one single BASS DUMP plugin to master any crap you guys can produce
[03:48] <hrob> Bashing-om:  I tried nomodeset -- it still triest to boot up to full run-level
[03:48] <Bashing-om> hrob: One can boot to terminal in the liveUSB, I have never tried to install a driver ,, but we can try and see what results .
[03:48] <hrob> Bashing-om:  I guess I need to get to run level 1 or something
[03:49] <hrob> Bashing-om:   is runlevel 1 a bootoption?
[03:52] <Bashing-om> hrob: No .. what release is thjis .. as we have gine from upstart to systemd as the intitiate system . means differ .
[03:54] <anes> Good morning friends, How to set the paths in .bashrc for sudo?
[03:58] <hrob> Bashing-om:  its 14.04 iso from a month ago
[03:58] <hrob> Bashing-om:  I don't see any option to boot to terminal
[03:59] <hrob> Bashing-om:  if there is a grub on the liveusb, then I should be able to change the runlevel on boot
[04:00] <hrob> here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2171069    it says I can get grub on liveusb if booting in UEFI mode
[04:01] <hrob> hope thats true
[04:01] <titanium17> hey guys
[04:01] <titanium17> I'd like to create a new ISO image of ubuntu, with some packages installed by default. Is UCK the way to do this?
[04:02] <titanium17> I'd like to create some linux containers in the ubuntu ISO by default, so when I install it in a new machine, it has all containers already
[04:03] <lotuspsychje> titanium17: uck is indeed a great tool to re-create an ubuntu iso
[04:03] <lotuspsychje> !info uck
[04:04] <titanium17> lotuspsychje, if I install some package, and then customize it, would these customizations also be part of the new ISO?
[04:04] <titanium17> say I add few scripts to make life easier, would they be default in the new ISO?
[04:05] <hrob> With UEFI boot of the liveusb  I now get grub menu
[04:05] <hrob> but nothing setup for booting to runlevel 1
[04:06] <Bashing-om> hrob: At the F6 access in the boot screen if you insert text as the boot parameter and remove all else .. in 14.04 will boot to terminal .
[04:08] <hrob> Bashing-om:  oh ok in the regular boot menu, not grub?
[04:08] <hrob> Bashing-om:    what kind of text?   just anything?
[04:09] <Bashing-om> hrob: Yeah .. either the liveUSB or from editing the install boot parameter from grub's boot patameters screen . one can get to a terminal .
[04:12] <lotuspsychje> titanium17: depends what you mean about customizing, the moment you change something crucial, its your own risk right and ubuntu cant be responisble anymore
[04:12] <guideX> how do I check the ip address on the network
[04:13] <lotuspsychje> guideX: the ##networking guys might help you with that
[04:13] <guideX> hrm well what I mean is, with windows it's ping <mypc name> -4
[04:13] <guideX> in ubuntu server having a little trouble
[04:13] <lotuspsychje> !server | guideX
[04:14] <Bashing-om> guideX: ' ifconfig ' .
[04:14] <titanium17> lotuspsychje, I dont intend to change any of ubuntu. For an example, say if I install emacs (i know its built in, but just for the sake of example), and I edit the config and do some changes. Will these also be part of the ISO?
[04:14] <guideX> ifconfig isn't a command that's working
[04:14] <guideX> command not found
[04:15] <lotuspsychje> titanium17: everything you customize, will be part of your iso
[04:15] <K1rk> Is there a way to reload gai.conf (getaddrinfo) without rebooting?
[04:15] <vervet> guideX: try `ip addr`
[04:16]  * trr
[04:16] <Bashing-om> guideX: Strange ! it is a valid command in linux , try ' route -n ' .
[04:17] <saltuk>  /close
[04:17] <guideX> command not found
[04:17] <titanium17> thanks lotuspsychje, off to create my own iso!
[04:17] <guideX> something wrong with this one huh
[04:18] <lotuspsychje> titanium17: just keep in mind what i said about official ubuntu support right
[04:18] <titanium17> sure thing lotuspsychje, most changes I make will be merely cosmetic!
[04:19] <guideX> also lsb_release -a command not found
[04:19] <lotuspsychje> titanium17: ok mate have fun
[04:19] <Bashing-om> guideX: Yeah .. no path the the binaries ? ' echo $PATH ' .
[04:19] <lotuspsychje> guideX: ubuntu version?
[04:19] <guideX> 12
[04:19] <lotuspsychje> guideX: 12.04?
[04:20] <guideX> I'm not exactly sure, I can't check the version
[04:20] <guideX> it's one of those preconfigured vm's
[04:20] <lotuspsychje> guideX: try cat /etc/issue
[04:21] <guideX> Kernel \r on an \m (\l)
[04:21] <guideX> that's about all
[04:21] <lotuspsychje> huh
[04:21] <lotuspsychje> guideX: think something is real messed up in your vm then
[04:21] <guideX> well it's ok
[04:22] <guideX> i'll try to figure out
[04:22] <lotuspsychje> guideX: vmware or virtualbox?
[04:22] <Bashing-om> lotuspsychje: VM and the host provides the kernel ??
[04:22] <guideX> wait, i'm real sorry.. i'm looking at the wrong windows
[04:22] <guideX> window
[04:22] <guideX> this is my fedora vm
[04:22] <guideX> sorry :)
[04:22] <guideX> my ubuntu is acting normal in the other window, they just look kind of identical
[04:27] <Mneuro> I am getting an xorg crash at boot every time I start Ubuntu 15.10
[04:27] <Mneuro> I am using the Nvidia 364 driver
[04:28]  * trr
[04:29] <lotuspsychje> trr: please dont do that
[04:29] <lotuspsychje> Mneuro: have you tried a lower version of driver?
[04:31] <Mneuro> lotuspsychje, it works fine on 355
[04:31] <hrob> ahh had to delete "splash" and replace with "text"
[04:32] <lotuspsychje> Mneuro: then use 355
[04:32] <hrob> If I install the latest graphics driver on the liveusb, will it retain on reboot?
[04:33] <lotuspsychje> hrob: ubuntu should already choose best drivers for you, when connected to cable
[04:33] <lotuspsychje> hrob: make sure you are connected and choose updates during setup also
[04:34] <hrob> lotuspsychje:  it does not select an up to date nvidia driver == I read everyon with nvidia 9xx generation need to isntall manually
[04:34] <hrob> lotuspsychje:  my probelm I never get into the installation menu as it runs x
[04:34] <lotuspsychje> hrob: what card chipset and ubuntu version?
[04:34] <hrob> lotuspsychje:  nvidia 970gtx   ubuntu 14.04 iso on usb
[04:35] <hrob> lotuspsychje:  I can boot liveusb into text mode,  runlevel 1?
[04:36] <hrob> lotuspsychje:  but not sure how that will help me get around the graphic driver issue,  maybe I can boot to runlevel 5 after installing new driver?
[04:36] <lotuspsychje> hrob: i suggest you try 16.04 on that card
[04:36] <Stoner19> trying to install ubuntu on a machine that currently has Win 10 and I get an error before the Live OS spins up: "failed to map dmar0"
[04:36] <hrob> is 16.04 lts out?
[04:36] <Stoner19> ubuntu-14.04.4-desktop-amd64
[04:36] <Stoner19> anyone have any ideas how to resolve it?
[04:36] <lotuspsychje> hrob: its still in development, but your card is rather new chipset
[04:37] <Ben64> hrob: it's not 2016.04 yet, so no
[04:37] <lotuspsychje> hrob: we having alot of users with issues on trusty and 9.x gtx
[04:37] <hrob> ok
[04:37] <hrob> lotuspsychje:  I had no problem with 9xx gtx with the graphics driver ppa
[04:38] <hrob> lotuspsychje: but I need nvidia-346 or greater I recall
[04:38] <Mneuro> lotuspsychje, just rebooted again and now the 364 drivers are working fine
[04:38] <lotuspsychje> hrob: well ppa's are officially not supported
[04:38] <Mneuro> problem solved i guess
[04:38] <lotuspsychje> Mneuro: ok great
[04:38] <hrob> lotuspsychje:  yes.
[04:39] <Auctus> is it possible to hide the ubuntu logo from the bottom left of the lock screen?
[04:39] <viktor_> hello
[04:39] <hrob> lotuspsychje:  but experience for last half year tells me it works perfectly fine... only the liveusb installer is not working fine until I install graphics driver onto the usb or, use non graphical installation
[04:40] <hrob> lotuspsychje:  would it be possible for me to run the old non-graphical installer?   was it ncurses or something
[04:40] <viktor_> is there something I can do about teamviewer's stupid keyboard bug?
[04:40] <viktor_> I mean on ubuntu side
[04:41] <lotuspsychje> Auctus: some packages can modify the login wallpaper, like ubuntu-tweak, but its not really recommended to do
[04:41] <viktor_> when I type i, it types ' and when I type ı, it types ı
[04:41] <hrob> maybe I can do,  apt-get install nvidia-346 on the usb,  then execute the install somehow immediately after that?
[04:41] <Ben64> hrob: just install nvidia after install...
[04:41] <viktor_> so there is nothing to do to get i
[04:42] <fuzzles> use ssh and a vnc
[04:42] <fuzzles> dont use teamviewer
[04:42] <hrob> Ben64:  thanks, but how do I install without functioning x-window?
[04:43] <hrob> Ben64:   the installer halts when it changes to window manager
[04:43] <Ben64> hrob: nomodeset should work
[04:43] <lotuspsychje> fuzzles: vnc isnt really secure either
[04:43] <viktor_> oh, it works now
[04:43] <hrob> Ben64:  but did not
[04:43] <fuzzles> true bit would stop the issue
[04:43] <Ben64> hrob: then use the minimal iso
[04:43] <hrob> Ben64:   right ok
[04:43] <hrob> Ben64:  the minimal iso not included inside maximal iso,  Im in terminal right now
[04:44] <Ben64> right, its a different iso
[04:45] <picarda> can I bring back an old issue...where's the compiz burn effect? the one when you close a window...
[04:47] <lotuspsychje> picarda: some effects are inside a package now
[04:48] <lotuspsychje> picarda: i tested wobbly windows recently in unity-plugins-extra or something
[04:48] <picarda> lotuspsychje, I do have all the effect but not the burn effect...this is weird...
[04:49] <lotuspsychje> !info compiz-plugins-extra | picarda tried this one?
[04:49] <picarda> ok ok I try it..
[04:52] <Auctus> lotuspsychje: hmm, thanks for the info
[04:53] <lotuspsychje> Auctus: just be carefull adding ppa's is your own risk ok
[04:54] <picarda> ubottu, what are the source of it?
[04:54] <lotuspsychje> picarda: source of what?
[04:56] <picarda> to get this: compiz-plugins-extra
[04:57] <lotuspsychje> picarda: you mean how did i find it?
[04:57] <picarda> oh, I already ave it installed...no burn effect...
[04:57] <lotuspsychje> picarda: ah, do you have ccsm installed?
[04:57] <picarda> yes
[04:58] <lotuspsychje> picarda: try a reboot and look into ccsm plugins
[05:01] <picarda> no luck...I have CCSM <IP_ADDRESS>...any issue with this version?
[05:01] <lotuspsychje> picarda: you see the wobbly windows plugin?
[05:02] <picarda> yes
[05:02] <lotuspsychje> hmm maybe the removed burn effect
[05:02] <lotuspsychje> not sure sorry, didnt test in a while
[05:02] <picarda> thank you...
[05:03] <lotuspsychje> !info compiz-plugins
[05:03] <lotuspsychje> picarda: you got this one too?

[07:00] <[Saint]> Is there a way around using gnome-keyring with high bit depth keys that doesn't involve passing "SSH_AUTH_SOCK=0" or disabling gnome-keyring directly?
[07:00] <[Saint]> For what it is worth the keys in question are 8192 bit RSA keys.
[07:01] <[Saint]> I drove myself insane trying to figure out why I was failing authorization trying to initiate an ssh session after updating my keys across the machines in my home network.
[07:02] <[Saint]> But then it occurred to me that auth was only failing on my Ubuntu desktop machines. All my headless machines were fine.
[07:02] <[Saint]> And then I tracked it down to gnome-keyring.
[07:06] <[Saint]> Doing "SSH_AUTH_SOCK=0 ssh user@hostname" works, and so does removing the Gnome Keyring Agent from startup applications.
[07:07] <[Saint]> But, if one exists, I would prefer a solution that didn't revolve around disabling a core service and didn't revolve around requiring special treatment for the ssh command.
[07:08] <[Saint]> The failure mode is:
[07:09] <[Saint]> "Agent admitted failure to sign using the key.
[07:09] <[Saint]> Permission denied (pubkey)."
[07:10] <[Saint]> However the key(s) are definitely valid and connection goes through as expected when gnome-keyring is disabled, or SSH_AUTH_SOCK is exported as 0 before running the ssh command.
[07:14] <Kartagis> in which file are added PPAs kept?
[07:15] <hateball> Kartagis: they're added as entries under /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
[07:16] <Kartagis> hateball: oh cool, if I send those files to another ubuntu installation, will they appear on Software & Updates?
[07:17] <[Saint]> which for some reason get preserved even if you remove the PPA from the Sources & Updated - Other Software
[07:17] <[Saint]> *Updates
[07:18] <[Saint]> Kartagis: why would you not just do 'add-apt-repository $PPA_GOES_HERE' as usual on said other machines and remove having to mess around with exporting/permissions?
[07:18] <hateball> Kartagis: Well yes, but you wouldnt have the pgp keys so it would fail
[07:19] <hateball> Kartagis: So do what [Saint] says
[07:19] <hateball> It also makes sure it adds the right release
[07:19]  * [Saint] nods
[07:20] <donggrami> kk
[07:20] <[Saint]> hateball: pouncing on you just because you're vocal - you don't happen to have any idea as to why gnome-keyring apparently hates high bit depth keys do you? And, if you do, do you have any idea how to make it not so?
[07:20] <donggrami> root@dongjin:/home/bobby/Maildir# apt-get update
[07:21] <hateball> [Saint]: Nope. I am kde plasma exclusive ;o
[07:21] <donggrami> 무시http://ftp.daum.net saucy InRelease
[07:21] <donggrami> E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
[07:21] <donggrami> help me
[07:21] <hateball> donggrami: saucy is EOL
[07:21] <hateball> !eolupgrade | donggrami
[07:23] <[Saint]> hateball: yeah - fair enough. I pretty much exclusively run headless machines, on a mix or Arch Linux and Ubuntu Server, but the Ubuntu Desktop LTS machines here exist for the sake of Ms. [Saint].
[07:23] <Kartagis> <3 bash
[07:23] <Kartagis> I added two PPAs with one loop
[07:23] <[Saint]> It took years to transition away from Windows to Ubuntu, swapping out DEs would be a bit of a death sentence for me.
[07:23] <[Saint]> Or at least a very cold shoulder. ;)
[07:24] <hateball> [Saint]: Well there's no need to swap, you can just keep several options installed and pick and choose at logon
[07:24] <hateball> See if they prefer one over the other
[07:24] <Kartagis> my current DE has an issue with (I think) Intel graphic cards
[07:24] <Kartagis> but I love it
[07:29] <[Saint]> sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists.*
[07:29] <[Saint]> bah - crap, sorry guys.
[07:30]  * [Saint] keeps missing the hotkey to swap screen sessions and failing to actually check before he presses [Enter]
[07:44] <[Saint]> Hmmmmm...
[07:45] <[Saint]> I thought that installing Chrome from Google's .deb files automagically added a sources.list.d entry
[07:45] <[Saint]> But that doesn't appear to be the case anymore.
[07:49] <hateball> [Saint]: are you on 15.10 ?
[07:50] <xubuntu> hello
[07:53] <[Saint]> hateball: Nah, there's two Ubuntu Desktop machines here and they're both on 14.04 LTS
[07:53] <[Saint]> I'll upgrade them when the next LTS instance drops.
[07:54] <[Saint]> They're here for the sake of Ms. [Saint] so stability and just-works-ish-ness are the two major factors.
[07:55] <[Saint]> I just wanted to iron this out without having to disable gnome-keyring or having to put a wrapper around the ssh command.
[07:55] <[Saint]> But it would appear, from a cursory Googlin', that that is not going to be the case.
[08:00] <LibreSponge> About sound and 15.10 on a Toshiba: redd.it/4bqety

[08:45] <convertmp42open> Hey--- i want to make an HQ convert from mp4
[08:46] <convertmp42open> what is the best HQ opensource format?
[08:46] <Ben64> convertmp42open: mp4 is a container
[08:46] <convertmp42open> i know
[08:47] <Ben64> so your question doesn't make sense
[08:47] <Black_Horseman> hello
[08:47] <convertmp42open> I WANT TO CONVERT SOMETHING FROM MP4!!!
[08:47] <Black_Horseman> is it UbuntuBSD an official BSD distro?
[08:47] <Ben64> yes, yelling will help
[08:47] <cfhowlett> convertmp42open, drop the attitude and stop the shouting
[08:47] <Ben64> Black_Horseman: no
[08:47] <Ben64> Black_Horseman: oh wait, i saw "official ubuntu distro" idk about bsd
[08:47] <cfhowlett> Black_Horseman, nope.  no plans to make it so either
[08:48] <reisio> convertmp42open: the best to speak of would be ogg/theora or vp8
[08:48] <reisio> convertmp42open: mp4 has better support, though
[08:48] <k1l> Black_Horseman: no. its run by the guys making the debian-bsd thing, too, iirc.
[08:48] <convertmp42open> vp8 is a webm codec ?
[08:48] <reisio> h.264, particularly
[08:48] <Black_Horseman> ok,  i see someone had time to play
[08:48] <fumblehool> k1l http://termbin.com/1ox
[08:48] <reisio> convertmp42open: webm uses vp8 frequently, yeah
[08:48] <Ben64> except mp4 is still a container, and not a codec
[08:49] <Ben64> it's like asking how to convert from box to jar
[08:49] <k1l> fumblehool: url doesnt work
[08:49] <reisio> it isn't really
[08:49] <convertmp42open> ok ...well i have an 1680x1050 here
[08:49] <reisio> any tool he'd use to convert wouldn't care whether it is "just an mp4"
[08:49] <convertmp42open> 60fps
[08:49] <Ben64> convertmp42open: which codec do you want to convert from/to
[08:50] <reisio> only the to is relevant :p
[08:50] <convertmp42open> Its still downloading
[08:51] <Ben64> reisio: not if the from is the same as the to
[08:51] <reisio> not going to be a lot of reasoning behind converting from a more widely supported format to a less widely supported one, though
[08:51] <convertmp42open> i only know its an mp4 s0 h.264 i  guess
[08:51] <Ben64> don't guess, find out
[08:51] <reisio> Ben64: that's an interesting kind of judgment on his mental state :p
[08:51] <reisio> convertmp42open: h.264 is the best supported ATM, may as well leave it as that
[08:51] <convertmp42open> then you have to wait 7 minutes
[08:52] <fumblehool> k1l: Here is pastbin link for the same
[08:52] <fumblehool> http://paste.ubuntu.com/15485867/
[08:52] <convertmp42open> reisio i want to use free formats
[08:52] <lq> http://shrinkmy.com/ZFmSN1C6
[08:52] <reisio> convertmp42open: k :p
[08:52] <k1l> fumblehool: if that is all ther is missing a lot in the sources.list file
[08:52] <Ben64> x264 is free
[08:53] <reisio> convertmp42open: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/TheoraVorbisEncodingGuide https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/VP8
[08:53] <reisio> Ben64: he means free not free
[08:53] <k1l> fumblehool: open the systemsettings -> software and updates. then make sure the -updates and -security are checked
[08:53] <convertmp42open> Ben64 lame is also "free"
[08:53] <reisio> lame is free, too
[08:53] <reisio> but mp3 isn't
[08:53] <reisio> what you meant is clear, anyway
[08:55] <convertmp42open> if the download is ready, i can give exact infos
[08:55] <fumblehool> k1l: they were unchecked, I have checked them  and the sources.list is rebuilding
[08:55] <k1l> fumblehool: that should fix the issue
[08:56] <Ben64> convertmp42open: avprobe <video>
[08:57] <convertmp42open> one minute
[08:57] <convertmp42open> and i have nautilus ben64
[08:57] <Ben64> ok?
[08:57] <fumblehool> k1l: Thanks alot! this solved the issue.
[09:03] <convertmp42open> OK infos Ben64 http://paste.ubuntu.com/15485905/
[09:04] <reisio> convertmp42open: as I said earlier, the format is irrelevant
[09:04] <reisio> convertmp42open: see the ffmpeg.org links I gave you
[09:05] <Ben64> convertmp42open: why do you want to convert it? you're going to lose quality. you could stick those into an mkv container and be done with it
[09:06] <convertmp42open> Open Formats
[09:06] <reisio> convertmp42open: to be clear, you will either lose measurable but not necessarily perceptible quality, or gain filesize
[09:06] <Ben64> x264 works on pretty much everything, and is free. not seeing a problem
[09:06] <convertmp42open> How can i loos less qualyty
[09:06] <convertmp42open> +quality
[09:07] <reisio> convertmp42open: you can't, fundamentally; but you also don't need to lose a perceptible amount of quality
[09:07] <convertmp42open> i know
[09:07] <reisio> not something you need to worry about
[09:08] <reisio> ffmpeg is very smart, the defaults for vp8 will probably suit you perfectly fine
[09:08] <convertmp42open> but what is the best ffmpeg setting?
[09:08] <reisio> see previous
[09:08] <convertmp42open> ko
[09:08] <convertmp42open> ok
[09:08] <Ben64> still a huge waste of time and effort
[09:09] <convertmp42open> ffmpeg is funngig
[09:09] <reisio> Ben64: consider the network you are using :p
[09:09] <convertmp42open> +Running----- (Im tired)
[09:09] <reisio> convertmp42open: based on the res you mentioned, it will take quite some time, even if it's a short video, unless your hardware is quite decent
[09:09] <reisio> will have a timestamp at bottom, though, so you'll know how far it is
[09:10] <Ben64> meh, i tried. less quality, less compatibility, likely to take longer than the video is
[09:11] <convertmp42open> I just try the setting
[09:11] <convertmp42open> someone else will convert!
[09:11] <reisio> it's not really less compatibility, just less support :D
[09:11] <Ben64> same thing
[09:11] <reisio> that is, fewer devices supported (but more devices potentially supported)
[09:12] <convertmp42open> Vlc saves lives huh?
[09:12] <convertmp42open> :D
[09:13] <convertmp42open> my complete music is running FLAC
[09:13] <reisio> think it plays videos, mostly
[09:13] <Ben64> wow, those defaults suck.
[09:13] <convertmp42open> why
[09:13] <KernTe> Hello. Does somebody know a good answer to this question? https://askubuntu.com/questions/749500/how-to-create-deb-package-without-packages-for-the-dependencies-available
[09:13] <Black_Horseman> so...
[09:14] <Black_Horseman> thnx for the answer
[09:14] <Black_Horseman> have a good day all
[09:15] <convertmp42open> meh... too less quality....
[09:16] <convertmp42open> setting more bitrate
[09:18] <reisio> crf would be simpler
[09:18] <Ben64> even simpler would be to not re-encode the video :D
[09:19] <reisio> it's true; not doing something is simpler
[09:19] <cfhowlett> that's so simple it's deep!
[09:23] <convertmp42open> here is the file i want to convert LOL
[09:23] <convertmp42open> http://download.maverickservers.com//Killing-X-zone.(1680x1050.60FPS)-Uber.Quality.mp4
[09:24] <reisio> the 60fps gives the uber quality away
[09:25] <Kartagis> can I switch DE without losing teamviewer connection?
[09:26] <ikonia> no
[09:26] <Kartagis> that's what I was afraid pf
[09:26] <Kartagis> oh well
[09:26] <reisio> you can open another X using another DE
[09:27] <reisio> won't likely help you if you want to move the teamviewer connection to the new one, though
[09:28] <paul____> hi, wonder if someone can help, when i try to setup a new vpn connection all the options are greyed out and i can't enter anything? this is using the network manager interface
[09:28] <lotuspsychje> !vpn | paul____
[09:32] <paul____> lotuspsychje: that doesn't help.
[09:32] <yeganer> After rebooting I have a strange graphical glitch. When I'm connecting an external display to my notebook my internal display starts flickering and goes black. Can someone please help me debug this? I'm on 15.10 with hybrid graphics (940M and HD 5500) but only the HD5500 is active.
[09:35] <lotuspsychje> yeganer: why dont you use your nvidia card with optimus?
[09:37] <catphish_> i just had a server that was running at least a hundred instances of "apt-check" - is there something that executes this at login sometimes? what does it do?
[09:38] <lotuspsychje> catphish_: maybe the #ubuntu-server guys might know this?
[09:38] <lotuspsychje> catphish_: was the server up to date?
[09:38] <catphish_> thanks, i was gonna ask there but thought this was a more generic question
[09:38] <catphish_> and no, the server is not currently up to date
[09:38] <TJ-> catphish_: it's part of update-notifier-common
[09:39] <catphish_> is its task purely to populate the motd with update notifications? if so i'd prefer to remove it as it seems to have the ability to run in large quantities rather than on a schedule
[09:40] <catphish_> *if it's
[09:40] <catphish_> i mean "is it a task purely..."
[09:40] <TJ-> catphish_: that sounds like the process is hanging up
[09:41] <catphish_> well there was some high io load, and it happened to coincide with mlocate running, but i don't really want anything with the potential for disk IO on login on this host, as it processes tens of logins per second
[09:42] <catphish_> i'll look into what update-notifier-common does anyway
[09:42] <yanhui> test
[09:43] <catphish_> i've removed it for now, it doesn't appear to do anything useful in this environment, thanks TJ-
[09:43] <cfhowlett> !test | yanhui
[09:43] <TJ-> catphish_: I'd suspect disabling "/etc/update-motd.d/90-updates-available" would stop it
[09:44] <catphish_> TJ-: i believe you're correct, that was my first thought, but it seemed tidier in the end to remove update-notifier-common, as i don't need it
[09:44] <ANA__> Hi. My computer suddenly suspend
[09:44] <ANA__> with out any advertisment
[09:45] <babbonatale007> !ciao  a tutti
[09:45] <babbonatale007> !list
[09:45] <catphish_> i also removed mlocate, which is totally unsuitable for multi-terabyte hosts with millions of files :)
[09:46] <catphish_> hopefully this will resolve my seemingly random daily IO issues :)
[09:47] <lotuspsychje> ANA__: did you check energy options?
[09:50] <ANA__> lotuspsychj; i have it plugged
[09:50] <brainwave> I want to compile an image magick project. The documentation says to pass output of 'Magick++-config --cxxflags --ldflags etc' as flags to the compiler. how can I specify this by using CMakeLists.txt?
[09:55] <neopsyche> helo. how to join offtopic?
[09:55] <lotuspsychje> !ot | neopsyche
[09:55] <neopsyche> greetings
[09:55] <k1l> neopsyche: you need to register with freenode first
[09:55] <neopsyche> ok
[09:55] <neopsyche> I thought I was regged
[09:56] <k1l> neopsyche: then log in :)
[09:57] <neopsyche> strange.
[09:58] <neopsyche> im trying to use terminal for irc.. its behaving strangely somewhat ;)
[09:58] <ice9> how to enable automatic control of ambient light sensor?
[10:09] <sgbirch> Where can I watch the progress of the upcoming final beta?

[10:10] <sgbirch> thank you
[10:16] <DKFermi> hi folks, i'm running a LAMP server with Ubuntu 14.04 inside a virtual box instance. There I run ELOG (a popular micro logging system with simple storage facilities). ELOG is started using a binary command elogd and can be made into a daemon by attaching -D to the command line. The tool doesn't seem to have an explicit logging feature (i.e. where the program logs itself); is there a way to log a "generic" linux daemon in ubuntu?
[10:17] <DKFermi> also the /var/logs/daemons.log is empty.
[10:18] <MarkusDBX> If I install the 16.04 LTS beta today, can I upgrade to the final version on release. (in 3 weeks) is there a upgrade path?
[10:18] <MarkusDBX> Or do I need to reinstall?
[10:18] <Ben64> yes you can
[10:18] <lotuspsychje> !final | markus1189
[10:18] <geirha> you just do a regular apt-get update && pa
[10:19] <mipo> I use SSH to connect my browser to my server via a port. is it possible to set my terminal to use that port to?
[10:19] <geirha> && apt-get upgrade and you'll be in 16.04 when it's released
[10:19] <Ben64> mipo: can you explain that more? I'm not following
[10:19] <MarkusDBX> Ben64: lotuspsychje: I guess there is always a risk of any configurations I make in 16.04 LTS today to break after the release?
[10:20] <llutz> mipo: you're using ssh -D xxxx as socks-proxy for the browser or what?
[10:20] <lotuspsychje> MarkusDBX: join #ubuntu+1 please
[10:21] <MarkusDBX> lotuspsychje: thanks
[10:21] <mipo> Ben64, llutz: . I use this command to connect to my server: ssh -l user1 -ND 8888 x.x.x.x. then I set my browser network config to sock and port 8888 which connect to any where via my server. now I want to do it in my terminal which my terminal can connect anywhere via my server
[10:22] <llutz> mipo: use tsocks/socksify
[10:22] <Ben64> mipo: just ssh to the server and do whatever there?
[10:23] <llutz> mipo: or drop the -N to keep a session opened
[10:23] <lotuspsychje> !xenial | MarkusDBX
[10:24] <mipo> llutz: then my terminal session will connect to my server?
[10:26] <mipo> Ben64: to use some tools I should connect via my server to some sites. and I need to run my terminal command which connect to my server and then connect to that sites to get that tools.
[10:26] <llutz> mipo:if you drop the -N , the terminal with open a ssh-connection to your server AND create the socks-proxy, so that you can use both. if that is what you want
[10:26] <Guest12302> hi how can I install vmware tool in ubuntu 15.10??

[10:35] <alalal> hi to all, who can help me to install amd driver on ubuntu 14.04?
[10:39] <hateball> !amd | alalal
[10:39] <alalal> hateball: i have amd msi r9 390
[10:40] <hateball> alalal: I have no experience with AMD for the past 10 years or so, hence pointing you to the help docs
[10:51] <viktor__> hello
[10:52] <sgbirch> viktor_: hi
[10:53] <viktor__> recently I've converted my disk to GPT, then proceeded to install 14.04 with LiveUSB. I'ce installed twice, but whenever I boot with USB unplugged, I get isolinux.bin missing or corrupt
[10:54] <viktor__> what could be wrong?
[10:55] <viktor__> I used the same usb installer on my laptop last night
[10:55] <viktor__> it went fine
[10:55] <viktor__> it is also gpt
[10:59] <mipo> llutz: Thanks
[11:02] <javad> hi
[11:04] <viktor__> maybe because I wasn't connected to the internet at the time I installed?
[11:06] <javad> shit
[11:07] <cfhowlett> !language | javad
[11:07] <lotuspsychje> viktor_: you sure you not installed ubuntu to your usb stick instead of your hd?
[11:15] <vooze> I have both a laptop(intel HD 5500) and a desktop(nvidia 980ti with nvidia 352.79 driver from PPA) - On my desktop when I resize windows (dragging/pulling in the corner) I can see a small lag, mostly with chrome (gtk2) and spotify (QT) and not as-bad with GTK3 apps, but still a little. On the laptop I see nothing, its just fluid. Is that just a bad nvidia driver? I have tried the new 364 as well.
[11:16] <lotuspsychje> vooze: ubuntu version?
[11:17] <vooze> lotuspsychje: 14.04 with unity7.
[11:17] <vooze> maybe its a compiz thing with nvidia?
[11:17] <lotuspsychje> vooze: you have several screens?
[11:18] <vooze> lotuspsychje: nope, just one.
[11:18] <vooze> Standard 60hz, nothing fancy.
[11:18] <lotuspsychje> vooze: why do you enable 2 graphics cards then?
[11:18] <vooze> lotuspsychje: I dont. One is laptop, the other is desktop.
[11:18] <viktor___> hello
[11:19] <viktor___> I've installed ot for the 3rd time, and I got the same error
[11:19] <viktor___> s/ot/it
[11:19] <viktor___> can anyone help?
[11:19] <lotuspsychje> vooze: did you try all drivers available from your additional drivers list?
[11:20] <jarek> Hi
[11:20] <lotuspsychje> vooze: like the -updates driver version?
[11:21] <lotuspsychje> vooze: system up to date also to 14.04.4?
[11:21] <vooze> lotuspsychje: I'm using the PPA, https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa - Where i have tried the 352.79 (newest LTS) and 364 newest.
[11:21] <vooze> lotuspsychje: yes, its fully up to date with graphicsstack etc. from 15.10 (so 14.04.4 yes)
[11:21] <lotuspsychje> vooze: we dont support ppa's really, try to make ubuntu drivers work first
[11:21] <TJ-> viktor___: what installer are you using? the Ubuntu installer puts GRUB on the target, not iso/syslinux, which the error report indicates is there (which would be on the CD/ISO media)
[11:21] <BluesKaj> howdy folks
[11:21] <vooze> lotuspsychje: yes the official ubuntu driver ppa :)
[11:22] <vooze> its *
[11:22] <TJ-> viktor___: are you copying the raw install ISO image  to the HDD by chance?
[11:22] <viktor___> TJ-: I've used dd
[11:22] <viktor___> TJ-: besides, I used it last night with success
[11:23] <TJ-> viktor___: right, that'd do it. The ubuntu ISO images are designed to be executed from removable media, and the installer on them executed to install Ubuntu onto a permanent hard drive
[11:23] <viktor___> TJ-: it's as if the computer requires the usb
[11:24] <TJ-> viktor___: if you mean you're literally copyying an ISO file onto a raw hard disk then that will not work correctly in most circumstances
[11:24] <lotuspsychje> vooze: try the 352-updates perhaps and reboot?
[11:24] <vooze> lotuspsychje: i'll try, but it should be about the same as 352.79 (update is 352.63)
[11:25] <vooze> brb
[11:25] <viktor___> TJ-: nope, this is not the first time I installed ubuntu. besides, I used it last night with success
[11:27] <TJ-> viktor___: well, the installer isn't going to write isolinux onto the hard drive, so if you've removed the installation media from the PC and you see that, you're not executing the installer
[11:28] <viktor___> TJ-: you mean ubiquity, right?
[11:29] <cfhowlett> viktor_, do I understand that you have ubuntu properly running on one of your machines??
[11:29] <viktor___> TJ-: I'm installing, the installer is telling me to remove the USB and hit Enter
[11:30] <TJ-> viktor___: correct, it uses debian-installer under the hood to create the target system. Assuming you set the bootloader device to point to the hard disk, it'll install GRUB on the HDD at the end of the installation process
[11:31] <viktor___> cfhowlett: I have erased that installation and converted my HDD to GPT, then I attempted to installl Ubuntu thrice
[11:31] <cfhowlett> viktor_, so you do NOT have any machines with ubuntu installed at present
[11:31] <viktor___> then I got the message 'isolinux.bin missing or corrupt'
[11:32] <TJ-> viktor___: is the system UEFI ?
[11:32] <viktor___> TJ-: not afaik
[11:32] <TJ-> viktor___: If it were, and was trying to boot the HDD in Legacy/MBR mode, then I could image a scenario where sector 0/MBR contains the remains of an isolinux bootstrap loader
[11:32] <viktor___> TJ-: I even changed the boot order in BIOS
[11:33] <vooze> lotuspsychje, that was the same. of well, maybe it will be better with Mir and unity8 :)
[11:33] <TJ-> viktor___: how many drives are connected to the PC when it boots? It sounds like another device is being read
[11:33] <vooze> oh well *
[11:33] <viktor___> TJ-: so, what do you suggest I do?
[11:33] <BluesKaj> viktor___, then why gpt?
[11:34] <viktor___> BluesKaj: I'm trying to throw hackintosh beside Ubuntu
[11:34] <cfhowlett> viktor_, what is installed on your hack at present??
[11:34] <cfhowlett> because install order matters a lot
[11:35] <viktor___> at the moment, nothing. because I attempted to boot off that USB too, bust
[11:35] <viktor___> cfhowlett: ^
[11:36] <TJ-> "isolinux.bin missing or corrupt" comes from the syslinux/isolinux bootstrap code in the MBR, so whatever device is being booted from contains that
[11:36] <viktor___> cfhowlett: this HDD is clean at the moment
[11:36] <cfhowlett> viktor_, got it
[11:38] <hateball> vooze: on your desktop, do you have only one screen?
[11:38] <viktor___> TJ-: long shot, but I'm going to ask it. could it be because the USB itself is MBR? if this is the reason, why did it work last night?
[11:38] <cfhowlett> viktor_, nope won't matter
[11:40] <viktor___> 'isolinux.bin missing or corrupt' had happened to me before on this very desktop, and I had solved it by simply re-installing. only now that approach diddn't work
[11:40] <TJ-> viktor___: as i said, you'll only get that if some device is connected at boot-time that contains the isolinux bootstrap code in sector 0
[11:41] <TJ-> viktor___: you've not left a partially bootable CD/DVD in the optical drive, or left some other USB storage device in a USB port hidden away?
[11:41] <viktor___> oh, dang
[11:41] <TJ-> viktor___: I've seen that catch people out with a USB hub with what they thought was just a 'data' thumb-drive in it
[11:41] <viktor___> one sec
[11:42] <viktor___> I have my storage disk plugged in
[11:42] <TJ-> viktor___: tada :D
[11:42] <viktor___> brb
[11:42] <TJ-> viktor___: maybe at some point it got the isolinux bootstrap accidentally installed and it's never been wiped off
[11:42] <viktor___> if this works, I'll come back as Kartagis
[11:45] <viktor__> no it didn't work TJ-
[11:45] <TJ-> viktor__: same error?
[11:45] <hateball> vooze: anyhow, if you're running just one monitor you could try running this in a terminal and see if it makes things appear smoother after: nvidia-settings --assign CurrentMetaMode="nvidia-auto-select +0+0 { ForceFullCompositionPipeline = On }"
[11:45] <viktor__> aye
[11:46] <TJ-> viktor__: then you've got some other device still connected that contains the isolinux bootstrap code *OR* you literally copied the ISO image to the HDD rather than using ubiquity/debian-installer
[11:47] <TJ-> viktor__: you're booted on the problem PC right now? what OS are you using?
[11:47] <TJ-> viktor__: I think we need to see the list of devices, and actually view sector 0 of the HDD to see what is there
[11:48] <viktor__> the one I'm using right now is a Mac and I'm booted into LiveUSB on the problem PC
[11:48] <khaldoon__> Hello
[11:48] <TJ-> viktor__: OK. the LiveUSB has internet connection?
[11:49] <viktor__> yes
[11:49] <TJ-> viktor__: open a terminal shell and do "which pastebinit" - if nothing is reported do "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" so we can easily gather info
[11:50] <khaldoon__> Hello again ,. i dont know what the hell is this LOL
[11:50] <khaldoon__> anyone could help ?
[11:51] <viktor__> k
[11:51] <cfhowlett> khaldoon__, topic:   ubuntu support.  help?  no question posed = no answer given.  Ms Cleo doesn't work here.
[11:51] <TJ-> viktor__: now do "pastebinit <( sudo lsblk -f; blkid )" and give us the URL
[11:52] <khaldoon__> alright golt it
[11:52] <khaldoon__> i just downloaded this xchat software and i dont know yet how to operate it never been to irc before
[11:53] <cfhowlett> khaldoon__, xchat?  bad idea.  hexchat is better.  https://hexchat.github.io/news/announcement.html
[11:53] <viktor___> TJ-: let's continue from here
[11:53] <viktor___> one sec
[11:53] <TJ-> viktor___: on the LiveUSB? yes, good plan
[11:53] <TJ-> viktor__:  "pastebinit <( sudo lsblk -f; blkid )" and give us the URL
[11:55] <minimec> khaldoon__: Just imagine that all you write in here is displayed in about 1000 connected irc clients. So if you have a question, there is a chance that someone sees it and can give you an answer...
[11:55] <MonkeyDust> lsblk doesnt require sudo, blkid does
[11:56] <viktor___> http://paste.ubuntu.com/15486758/
[11:56] <viktor___> TJ-: ^
[11:57] <TJ-> viktor___: ahhh... so you've got 3 devices there
[11:57] <viktor___> it's talking about a ubuntu 15.10, but I don't have one
[11:57] <TJ-> viktor___: and two of them contain ISO images.
[11:58] <TJ-> viktor___: what does "cat /etc/issue" tell you?
[11:58] <viktor___> Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS \n \l
[11:59] <TJ-> viktor___: so it looks like /dev/sdb contains the remains of 15.10 ISO, which explains the error. Remove that device (or blank it's bootstrap in sector 0)
[11:59] <B4daBing73> Hi
[11:59] <TJ-> viktor___: do "sudo dd if=/dev/sdb count=1 | strings" - I bet you see that error message
[12:00] <B4daBing73> Is there a possibility that Ubuntu gets infected by a macro virus (e.g. for Microsoft Office, OpenOffice, LibreOffice)?
[12:00] <cfhowlett> B4daBing73, not impossible but no reports of this as yet
[12:00] <viktor___> TJ-: yea, I get that
[12:00] <TJ-> viktor___: to identify that device do "cat /sys/block/sdb/device/model"
[12:01] <vooze> hateball, sorry for the late reply :) will try your fix.
[12:01] <vooze> hateball, but yes, only one screen
[12:02] <B4daBing73> cfhowlett: Ok, when you accidently execute such a file on your system is there any danger?
[12:02] <viktor___> TJ-: gparted tells me it's my internal storage device
[12:02] <B4daBing73> Any possibility to scan your system?
[12:02] <cfhowlett> B4daBing73, .exe files do not run on linux
[12:03] <cfhowlett> B4daBing73, again: no reports of cross platform infection via office docs (yet).
[12:03] <B4daBing73> cfhowlett: were are talking about a doc / docx file here, but that could just hide the real filetype
[12:03] <TJ-> viktor___: well. you know your system best, but its as I originally said. You've got another device in there with a partial ISO image on it, and it's set to be booted from in the PC BIOS
[12:03] <viktor___> so, I should disable that from the BIOS?\
[12:03] <TJ-> viktor___: I have no idea what 'internal storage device' means; did the command I gave you not report a device model name?
[12:04] <viktor___> TJ-: yes
[12:04] <B4daBing73> cfhowlett: File opened, but LibreOffice showd a warning message that is blocked the "macro" execution
[12:04] <TJ-> viktor___: so it's (another) internal hard drive?
[12:04] <viktor___> TJ-: as storage, I have one usb, and one internal hdd
[12:04] <cfhowlett> B4daBing73, macro doesn't mean virus
[12:05] <TJ-> viktor___: so /dev/sda is USB ?
[12:05] <viktor___> no, I unplugged the USB
[12:05] <TJ-> viktor___: so what *is* /dev/sda then?
[12:06] <viktor___> TJ-: /dev/sda is my main HDD
[12:06] <minimec> khaldoon__: If you want to talk to a person directly and want him notified, just add his name to the text you are writing. Try mini<Tab>key to have name 'autocomplete'...
[12:06] <TJ-> viktor___: you've got 2 devices there, sda and sdb. try "cat /sys/block/sd{a,b}/device/model" to identify what they are
[12:06] <TJ-> viktor___: you're confusing us now; you just said there's one internal HDD. sda and sdb adds up to 2, if neither of them is USB
[12:07] <viktor___> I *know* I'm installing to sda
[12:07] <TJ-> viktor___: right, but there's remains of the 15.10 ISO on sdb and your system is (trying to) boot from that
[12:08] <viktor___> TJ-: sda and sdb are both internal HDDs, but I do not understand how 15.10 leftovers could be there. I never install a non-LTS
[12:08] <viktor___> anyway, I've to go to lunch and get sandwich
[12:08] <viktor___> be back in 15
[12:08] <TJ-> viktor___: it looks to me like you tried to write a 15.10 ISO image to a USB device and accidentally wrote it to an internal hard drive
[12:09] <cfhowlett> I would guess a misdirected dd command
[12:10] <TJ-> cfhowlett: yes, that's what I think. And /dev/sdb has subsequently had something else written to it, leaving only the isolinux bootstrap in MBR
[12:10] <khaldoon__> minimec, Okay think i got it
[12:10] <minimec> khaldoon__: Cool ;)
[12:12] <uwtf> How can I download ubuntu mini.iso via HTTPS? I really hate the idea of downloading files via http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-updates/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/
[12:12] <ubuntu-mate> hello there anyone here?
[12:12] <popey> ubuntu-mate: yes
[12:12] <cfhowlett> ubuntu-mate, always.
[12:13] <uwtf> What's more there are no checksums/no pgp verification/nothing
[12:13] <uwtf> Is is a joke?
[12:13] <TJ-> uwtf: you're supposed to check the hash and verify the gpg signature to ensure the image is correct
[12:13] <cfhowlett> uwtf, less rant please
[12:13] <uwtf> Virefy with what?
[12:13] <cfhowlett> uwtf, you should be able to find a torrent
[12:13] <ubuntu-mate> Have you tried downloading to a usb?
[12:13] <uwtf> Torrent? Is it another joke?
[12:14]  * kallo82 is new to irc
[12:14] <uwtf> I have no torrent, nor I intend to install any torrent clients, nor I can use it here for certain reasons
[12:14] <TJ-> uwtf: with gpg and the ubuntu archive signing certificate
[12:14] <minimec> Khisanth: Oh.. And I would hide the join/leave messages in the chat window. They often make the chat unreadable... see here http://askubuntu.com/questions/356054/xchat-how-to-hide-join-leave-messages
[12:14] <TJ-> uwtf: the checksums are in http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-updates/main/installer-i386/current/images/SHA1SUMS and the signature is in the same location in SHA1SUMS.gpg
[12:15] <minimec> Khisanth: soory. wrong nick ;)
[12:15] <uwtf> There are zero SHA1SUMS at the directory I specified
[12:15] <TJ-> uwtf: I just told you where they are
[12:16] <kallo82> minimec: ping
[12:16] <cfhowlett> uwtf, http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-updates/main/installer-i386/current/images/
[12:16] <TJ-> uwtf: and the SHA1SUMS contains "50204448290269b51f0d39f2ef74a8a9c6a56475  ./wily-netboot/mini.iso"
[12:16] <uwtf> and mini.iso is _not_ signed either
[12:16] <uwtf> Ubuntu's download security is a freaking bad joke
[12:16] <minimec> kallo82: pong ;)
[12:16] <TJ-> uwtf: oops sorry, wrong one! "46e4476941154b75404ca9759d7eb791d964194a  ./netboot/mini.iso"
[12:17] <uwtf> Where did you get this hashsum?
[12:17] <TJ-> uwtf: yes it is signed, via the SHA1SUMS.gpg as I told you
[12:17] <uwtf> My sha1sum is totally different
[12:18] <uwtf> 46e4476941154b75404ca9759d7eb791d964194a
[12:18] <uwtf> Google doesn't even find any trustworthy sources for this hash sum
[12:18] <popey> which is listed http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-updates/main/installer-i386/current/images/SHA1SUMS
[12:18] <popey> 46e4476941154b75404ca9759d7eb791d964194a  ./netboot/mini.iso
[12:18] <popey> from ^ file
[12:18] <popey> same as yours
[12:19] <popey> from a file in the directory immediately above the directory you linked to
[12:19] <uwtf> Again this file is delivered via HTTP
[12:19] <uwtf> How on earth am I supposed to trust it?
[12:20] <popey> yes, our entire archive is delivered over http
[12:20] <popey> the sha1sums is signed
[12:21] <uwtf> Then again I should download Ubuntu's public GPG key from God knows where and trust it hasn't been hacked en route to my PC
[12:21] <Ben64> maybe you shouldn't use the internet at all then
[12:21] <uwtf> Why cannot you just let people download your images via HTTPS like most others distros do?
[12:21] <popey> from god knows where, or from ours?
[12:21] <popey> because it's not necessary
[12:22] <popey> https://keyserver.ubuntu.com/ - not god knows where - our keyserver
[12:22] <Ben64> https isn't 100% reliable either. heard of those recent problems with lenovo,dell?
[12:22] <cfhowlett> mint?
[12:22] <uwtf> https://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+gpg+keys => freaking nothing at the top
[12:22] <uwtf> This is a freaking joke
[12:22] <madwizard> uwtf: That's more like a google's problem?
[12:22] <popey> again uwtf https://keyserver.ubuntu.com/
[12:22] <uwtf> That's Ubuntu's problem first and most
[12:22] <cfhowlett> so you have said.  sounds like you'd be happier with a different OS
[12:22] <madwizard> uwtf: Don't see how
[12:22] <popey> Ok, enough now
[12:23] <popey> You have the answer to your question - the iso, the shasum, the key and the keyserver
[12:23] <popey> everything you need to verify
[12:23] <uwtf> SKS OpenPGP Public Key Server ???
[12:23] <uwtf> How on Earth Google should know this server has anything to do with Ubuntu?
[12:23] <TJ-> uwtf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15486902/
[12:23] <uwtf> Guys, you seriously need to rethink the way you distribute your images
[12:24] <Ben64> the ubuntu.com part doesn't tip you off?
[12:24] <popey> Canonical host that keyserver
[12:24] <TJ-> uwtf: keyserver.ubuntu.com
[12:24] <uwtf> Your download pages contain zero information about how the user should verify downloads
[12:24] <popey> Because most don't
[12:24] <uwtf> Just download and install
[12:24] <popey> But those who do, can
[12:24] <uwtf> Freaking beautiful
[12:24] <popey> Dial down the rhetoric uwtf
[12:24] <Tin_man> google is omni potent
[12:24] <TJ-> !verify | uwtf
[12:24] <cfhowlett> !verify | uwtf
[12:25] <uwtf> I vividly remember how Mint distributed malware infected images a month ago
[12:25] <madwizard> I suppose we all do
[12:25] <uwtf> Because again no one gave a damn about such things
[12:25] <popey> this is not a channel for discussing mint security policies
[12:25] <Ben64> that was a problem with their blog software
[12:25] <popey> (we don't run wordpress on our keyserver or archive servers, in case you wondered)
[12:26] <cfhowlett> uwtf, false and misleading.   your rants have been asked and answered.  let's move on.
[12:27] <Tin_man> anybody have a clue if the directory "/media" on a home server is a symlink? if i've a mount point there for my slave drive?
[12:27] <uwtf> I guess yall have a lot of time to answer such questions instead of properly conveying this info via your download pages and setting up proper download channels
[12:27] <popey> Tin_man: it's a directory
[12:27] <popey> uwtf: it honestly doesn't come up as often as you think
[12:27] <Tin_man> yes i know that,
[12:28] <uwtf> popey: if that's the case, I'm truly appalled
[12:28] <Tin_man> but if a mount is set there does it become a symlink?
[12:28] <popey> no
[12:28] <popey> its a directory
[12:28] <Tin_man> good
[12:28] <TJ-> Tin_man: usually not, udisks generally mounts file-systems under /media/${USER}/<FS-LABEL-or-UUID.
[12:28] <Tin_man> i'm wanting to symlink my other dir there to my boot /home directory
[12:29] <uwtf> Tin_man: `ls -l /` should answer your question
[12:29] <Tin_man> ok
[12:29] <uwtf> Tin_man: you will see symlinks as something -> somewhere
[12:29] <uwtf> Alternatively install mc - it shows symlinks via ~
[12:30] <llutz> stat /media
[12:30] <popey> file /media
[12:30] <popey> :)
[12:30] <popey> So many ways :)
[12:30] <TJ-> 'readlink -e /media' :)
[12:30] <Tin_man> ok doing the ls -l now looking
[12:31] <Tin_man> just says "total 4

[12:40] <Joseph> Hey, I bought a new lenovo computer lenovo E31 and installed ubuntu15.10. Everything is fine but Skype is mute. After checking my labtop everything is correct.
[12:42] <Joseph> What  canI do to fix the problem
[12:42] <MonkeyDust> Joseph  laptop, not labtop... how did you install skype
[12:42] <Ben64> Joseph: stop using skype
[12:42] <lotuspsychje> MonkeyDust
[12:42] <MonkeyDust> lotuspsychje
[12:43] <Joseph> I download Skype from skype for linux site
[12:44] <MonkeyDust> Joseph  'linux site'?
[12:45] <kallo82> Skype works perfectly on Ubuntu 14.04 with the new Skype update, use the skype agent from skype.com
[12:45] <Joseph> no , Skype official site
[12:45] <MonkeyDust> Joseph  activate the partner repo, update, then install skype with apt install
[12:45] <Ben64> pretty sure it doesn't work perfectly, it's been steadily declining in compatibility and features
[12:45] <cfhowlett> lack of care and attention will do that
[12:46] <kallo82> Dont use the hotmail account, use your skype ID , it works fine with me
[12:46] <Joseph> what is partner repo?
[12:46] <MonkeyDust> just noticed, i no longer have skype installed, never used it
[12:46] <kallo82> it didnt work when i downloaded it from the repo
[12:46] <viktor___> I'm bask TJ-
[12:46] <viktor___> back*
[12:47] <viktor___> how do I clean this 15.10 off my other internal hd?
[12:47] <TJ-> viktor___: is there anything important on that /dev/sdb ?
[12:47] <viktor___> yea, all my files
[12:47] <viktor___> about 500GB
[12:48] <BluesKaj> Joseph, check your package manager sources or /etc/apt/sources.list for Canonical partners
[12:48] <Tin_man> so uwtf, if it's a symlink it will have an 'l' at the beginning?
[12:48] <uwtf> yep
[12:48] <Tin_man> thanks, just don't want to screw it up..
[12:48] <TJ-> viktor___: OK, so you have 2 issues with /dev/sdb. 1) isolinux bootstrap code and 2) possibly an ISO9660 file-system remains
[12:49] <viktor___> seems so
[12:50] <TJ-> viktor___: to lose the bootstrap code that generates the errorneous boot message you'd over-write the first 440 bytes of sector 0. Make a backup first with "sudo if=/dev/sdb of=mbr-sdb.bin bs=512 count=1" (make sure to save mbr-sdb.bin on a permanent file system!!! - not in the LiveUSB) then over-write those bytes with "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=440 count=1"
[12:51] <cncr04s> ubuntu fails to initilize a raid10 volume defined by the mobo (fakeraid) 4 drives. It only appears to see 2 for use, then fails on the initial sync then crashes whatever is used in the kernel for the raid and promptly locks up the device, further installation attempts fail. any ideas?
[12:52] <compdoc> cncr04s, dont use the raid on the motherboard, and install zol
[12:53] <uwtf> cncr04s: to be honest, hardware RAIDs all suck for one very serious reason: they're all proprietary - so if your controller fails (controller itself) you're f*cked
[12:54] <uwtf> also forget about moving your drivers between systems with different RAID controllers
[12:56] <zuck> Hi, my update manager says "You have 1 broken package on your system! Use the "Broken" filter to locate it". how do I address this?
[12:56] <martin4> Razzdoll: Press ~ + Enter + . and it kills the ssh connection
[12:57] <TJ-> cncr04s: is Linux using dmraid or mdadm for the fakeRAID? which type of fakeRAID metadata is it?
[12:57]  * viktor___ crosses fingers
[12:57] <cncr04s> mdadm
[12:58] <cncr04s> i can create two seperate raid1's but not a raid10
[12:58] <TJ-> cncr04s: OK, which metadata type? Because mdadm took over some types (Intel I think) from dmraid a while back and you might have found a case where mdadm  doesn't cover it
[12:58] <cncr04s> its an intel chipset
[12:58] <viktor___> TJ-:  sudo lsblk -f still reports sdb    iso9660  Ubuntu 15.10 i386
[12:59] <zuck> i got some error when i installed Atom using dpkg. now when i try to remove it this error it gives error: http://i.imgur.com/PBpz0Vm.png
[12:59] <TJ-> viktor___: it will, because there's still an ISO9660 file-system layout on that disk. But, the bootstrap code has gone so the disk isn't bootable
[13:00] <TJ-> cncr04s: check "cat /proc/cmdline" - do you have "nomdmonddf nomdmonisw" ? those are the switches that control mdadm taking over for DDF and ISW metadata types
[13:00] <viktor___> zuck: is software center open
[13:00] <viktor___> ?
[13:00] <zuck> viktor_: yes
[13:00] <viktor___> zuck: that's why
[13:00] <zuck> viktor_: it is updating
[13:00] <zuck> viktor_: thank you
[13:01] <viktor___> np
[13:01] <viktor___> brb

[13:08] <cncr04s> imsm mean anything?
[13:09] <TJ-> cncr04s: ahhh, so those options don't get used I seem to recall they were introduced slightly later

[13:24] <TzmFen> Hello.. i am having a locale issue http://pastebin.com/QkxDE9KC how can i set these to en GB utf8 ?
[13:24] <TzmFen> by default
[13:25] <cncr04s> should I just ditch the intel raid thing and just do native mdadm then? Do I lose hotswap and drive bay failure notification lights function?
[13:27] <minimec> TzmFen: Try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration'
[13:27] <minimec> TzmFen: Oh... locale... ;) my fault...
[13:28] <frostschutz> cncr04s, for linux raid, mdadm is usually the best choice. can't help with notification lights, though
[13:28] <TzmFen> minimec:  hehe np
[13:28] <TzmFen> minimec:  my installed locales are C  C.UTF-8  POSIX and en_GB.utf8
[13:30] <minimec> TzmFen: What about 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales'? Follow that answer http://askubuntu.com/questions/162391/how-do-i-fix-my-locale-issue
[13:30] <TzmFen> minimec:  i actually  did the reconfigure
[13:30] <TzmFen> it wont change it it
[13:30] <TzmFen> wtf
[13:31] <TzmFen> i tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure en_GB.utf8 it says its not installed/no information available
[13:33] <minimec> TzmFen: 'sudo locale-gen "en_GB.UTF-8"'?
[13:33] <TzmFen> minimec:  i have done that
[13:33] <TzmFen> and it shows it as installed/listed when i do locale -a
[13:34] <minimec> TzmFen: Ok. I do not have any better idea... There's a community help page... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Locale
[13:35] <TzmFen> minimec:  so manually changing them might be my best bet
[13:35] <TzmFen> i am on 14.04.4 LTS if that helps at all

[13:40] <logonogo> e time and date settings.
[13:40] <TJ-> R13ose: if they're listed in separate files under /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ then just remove the file and redo "apt-get update"
[13:41] <R13ose> yes but I remember there is a way to do that with a command via terminal that I don't remember.
[13:41] <ratrace> Hello. As of few days ago every time I reboot the system is running a fsck task on the LUKS swap partition. That effectively prolongs the boot to some 2 minutes. Is this a bug or a "feature"?
[13:41] <ogra_> R13ose, have a look at the ppa-purge program (sudo apt install ppa-purge)
[13:42] <logonogo> R13ose: sudo apt-get clean ?
[13:42] <TJ-> R13ose: maybe you're thinking of ppa-purge ?
[13:43] <R13ose> logonogo: that didn't help
[13:43] <logonogo> ok, sorry then :(
[13:43] <R13ose> I thought there was one command and not a program

[14:29] <puff> Is it me, or do most music player apps kinda suck"
[14:29] <puff> ?
[14:30] <puff> Sorry, just frustrated... all I want to do is play music, but these apps seem to make it more complicated than it needs to be.
[14:30] <MonkeyDust> puff  rephrase your question decently, start from the beginning
[14:30] <dwrj87> @puff they suck
[14:30] <lotuspsychje> puff: vlc to the rescue
[14:30] <specing> puff: if you want it super simple, open terminal, cd to music and $ mpv yourself away

[14:33] <jwitko> Hey All,  I have a large iscsi mount (~45TB) that is mounted as "/dev/mapper/mpath0-part1      46T   19T   26T  42% /mnt/iscsisql",  however attempting to create a file or directory on this mount results in an error saying "No space left on device".  I have checked the inodes and there is no issue, I rescanned the device in iscsi, I unmounted and performed an fsck and gotten no where.  Does
[14:33] <jwitko> anyone have any ideas why this is happening?
[14:34] <specing> 46TB over iSCSI. Wow.
[14:34] <TJ-> jwitko: what file-system is it?
[14:34] <AlexPortable> How can I add ubuntu to uefi boot manager?
[14:34] <specing> jwitko: "I have checked the inodes" as in df -i?
[14:34] <TJ-> AlexPortable: using "efibootmgr" or "grub-install"
[14:34] <jwitko> TJ-, its ext4.
[14:34] <jwitko> specing, yes exactly,  df -i
[14:35] <AlexPortable> TJ-: efibootmgr: no bootorder is set; firmware will attempt recovery. boot0002* notebook ethernet, boot0003* notebook ethernet
[14:35]  * specing updating to wily now
[14:36] <puff> dwrj87, lotuspsychje, specing, minimec, bigMouthCommie, thanks.
[14:36] <puff> MonkeyDust: You too.
[14:36] <TJ-> jwitko: does the ext4 file-system have the auto_64-bit_support feature flag?
[14:37] <specing> !wily
[14:37] <jwitko> TJ-, not sure, how can I check ?
[14:37] <specing> W: Failed to fetch http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/wily/main/binary-amd64/Packages  404  Not Found

[14:38] <TJ-> specing: Wily isn't on old-releases!
[14:38] <MonkeyDust> specing  why are you using old-releases ?
[14:38] <specing> I don't know :D
[14:38] <bigMouthCommie> having a pretty wierd issue with my terminal where my terminal won't feed lines properly. it truncates and carries and waits for input (return will continue to feed lines) the problem is most pronounced with aa3d (an ascii art demo package). i was told it might have to do with my TERM env variable, but i don't really understand what that means, what setting is wrong, or how to fix it
[14:39]  * specing checks sources.list again
[14:39] <AlexPortable> TJ-: grub-install installs grub, but grub is already installed. I can choose it manually from EFI\ubuntu\grub.efi
[14:39] <specing> Oh, it is a relic from the EOLUpgrade copy&paste
[14:40] <specing> should it be just ubuntu.com? or releases.ubuntu.com?
[14:40] <jwitko> TJ-, I don't see it?  it would be under "Filesystem Features:"?
[14:40] <jwitko> Filesystem features: has_journal ext_attr dir_index filetype needs_recovery extent 64bit flex_bg sparse_super large_file huge_file uninit_bg dir_nlink extr a_isize
[14:41] <TJ-> jwitko: yes
[14:41] <TJ-> jwitko: that '64bit' flag ought to be as good though, but I'm not 100% sure
[14:42] <TJ-> jwitko: without the 64-bit support I'm thinking about, the maximum size that can be references is 16TB
[14:42] <jwitko> I can't even run mkdir, ls -al, or even the dumpe2fs commands on the device.  it just freezes up
[14:42] <jwitko> TJ-, its already over 19TB and got there with no issues
[14:43] <TJ-> jwitko: it depends on how much space the superblocks are using; they'll be massive on 48TB
[14:43] <specing> jwitko: May I recommend migrating to btrfs or ZFS?
[14:44] <TJ-> jwitko: so if they use 3TB for example, then that's 16TB used by actual files. You really need to poke one of the ext4 file-system experts/developers, such as Theodore Tso
[14:44] <jwitko> specing, absolutely, but I need this filesystem to be accessible first  :)
[14:44] <specing> jwitko: I thought you just had free space issues, not problems with mounting
[14:45] <jwitko> it mounts without issue
[14:45] <jwitko> i can umount and mount without a problem
[14:45] <specing> well then, get new drives and start copying :)
[14:48] <AlexPortable> TJ-: you around? I found the problem. If i use sudo update-grub it will add the ubuntu entry to efibootmgr, but after a reboot it's gone
[14:48] <TJ-> jwitko: is it possible you've hit the 32,000 sub-dirs limit?
[14:48] <EriC^^> AlexPortable: hp laptop?
[14:48] <TJ-> AlexPortable: that suggests your PC has a buggy firmware; is it Acer!? :D
[14:49] <AlexPortable> EriC^^: yes
[14:49] <AlexPortable> TJ-: nope, hp
[14:49] <julius> hi
[14:49] <EriC^^> AlexPortable: are you in the ubuntu install right now?
[14:49] <jwitko> TJ- that is possible....
[14:49] <AlexPortable> EriC^^: yes
[14:50] <AlexPortable> I can boot into it by pressing f9 and then browsing to the grubx64.efi file
[14:50] <EriC^^> AlexPortable: type sudo efibootmgr -v | nc termbin.com 9999
[14:50] <julius> i bootet a ubuntu 15.10 with a debian 4.5.0 kernel (testing) - it does boot, but i cant enter my password. no response from the keyboard...how can that happen?
[14:50] <julius> the default ubuntu kernel does not seem to support encrypted filesystems
[14:50] <AlexPortable> EriC^^: http://termbin.com/6cw8
[14:51] <specing> julius: you mean LUKS?
[14:51] <AlexPortable> julius: how do you know? it doesnt shows up anything when you type password
[14:51] <TJ-> jwitko: maybe this will point you in the correct direction for finding a solution: https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Frequently_Asked_Questions#What_features_are_supported_by_the_ext4_file_system.3F
[14:51] <julius> yeah, a encrypted lvm
[14:51] <ratrace> Guys, question. As of few days ago every time I reboot the system is running a fsck task on the LUKS swap partition. That effectively prolongs the boot to some 2 minutes. Is this a bug or a "feature"?
[14:51] <jwitko> TJ-, i thought ext4 was 64000 sub-dir limit ?>
[14:51] <julius> only the boot partition is outside of the lvm and unencrypted
[14:52] <AlexPortable> TJ-: http://termbin.com/6cw8
[14:52] <TJ-> jwitko: if it has the EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_DIR_NLINK support
[14:52] <EriC^^> AlexPortable: oh, that's odd
[14:52] <specing> julius: LUKS is seperate from LVM
[14:52] <EriC^^> TJ-: ^
[14:52] <TJ-> AlexPortable: EriC^^ yeah, looks like a buggy firmware
[14:52] <julius> specing, yes?
[14:52] <specing> julius: yes.
[14:53] <AlexPortable> EriC^^ TJ- after sudo grub-install: http://termbin.com/c2bc
[14:53] <julius> how does that answer the question?
[14:53] <EriC^^> AlexPortable: you can switch the windows and ubuntu efi files as a workaround
[14:53] <TJ-> AlexPortable: right; the values aren't saved in the Non Volatile RAM variable space
[14:53] <specing> julius: just getting the terminology right
[14:53] <AlexPortable> EriC^^: which files?
[14:54] <AlexPortable> TJ-: it's on the harddisk no?
[14:54] <julius> specing, ah ok
[14:54] <TJ-> AlexPortable: the easiest solution is to make a copy of /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/bootx64.efi at /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI ... that's the removable media path searched when no boot menu entries exist
[14:55] <TJ-> AlexPortable: no; it's in the Flash memory of the firmware. and several manufacturers seem very good at making that storage buggy
[14:55] <julius> basically the ubuntu kernel would have to run "cryptsetup luksOpen mylvm",   vgchange -ay   or something like that. is there a pre built ubuntu kernel that can do that?
[14:55] <TJ-> AlexPortable: with the removable media path you may be lucky and the firmware's boot-manager will look and find it
[14:55] <specing> julius: some filesystems do support encryption and there is the ecryptfs layer
[14:56] <specing> julius: the initramfs/initrd is the one that should do that
[14:56] <EriC^^> AlexPortable: specifically grubx64.efi and /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi or /boot/efi/Boot/bootx64.efi ( first make a backup copy of both ) then you modify os-prober to look for bootmgfw.efi.backup
[14:56] <julius> i can see that you want to be helpfull, but i dont understand you
[14:56] <TJ-> julius: no, that's the job of the initrd.img. If update-initramfs hooks for cryptsetup and lvm are installed they'll automatically include the correct support in the initrd.img
[14:56] <EriC^^> AlexPortable: this is the os-prober file that needs modifying so grub picks the new one up /usr/lib/os-probes/mounted/efi/20microsoft
[14:56] <julius> TJ-, and how would i install such a hook?
[14:56] <TJ-> julius: so it is likely those weren't installed, and therefore the initrd.img doesn't contain cryptsetup, lvm, or the associated config files and libraries
[14:57] <TJ-> julius: just by having lvm2 and cryptsetup packages installed, an LVM device as the container for the root file-system, and an entry in /etc/crypttab that refers to a container that has the root file-system inside
[14:57] <R13ose> How do I update flash properly on Ubuntu 15.10?
[14:57] <julius> i can chroot to the ubuntu installation
[14:58] <julius> TJ-, thanks
[14:58] <TJ-> julius: OK, then first check /etc/crypttab ensure it points to the correct block device
[14:59] <AlexPortable> yes thanks EriC^^ and TJ- that worked
[14:59] <AlexPortable> copying to microsoft and boot
[15:00] <KeithWeisshar> is the ubuntu iso a hybrid iso that can be written directly to usb?
[15:00] <TJ-> KeithWeisshar: Yes
[15:02] <Mandeep_Singh>  Hi there, Is there any way to reserve resources (CPU, RAM, HDD) for Administrative tasks, so that no user, process can make computer to freeze?
[15:02] <julius> TJ-, file does not exist and: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=default&section=all&arch=any&keywords=crypttab&searchon=names     says its not contained in any package.  but i know what crypttab does and that it will be in some package...but which one?
[15:03] <TJ-> julius: crypttab is *generated* by you, or by the installer
[15:03] <julius> Mandeep_Singh, there are process groups
[15:04] <julius> TJ-, thing is that the encrypted lvm was created by a debian install. at ubuntu install time i did manually enable the lvm via console and then installed ubuntu normally....thats probably why theres no initrd spport for it in my initrd
[15:04] <TJ-> julius: do "blkid -t TYPE=crypto_LUKS" to identify the LUKS device, then add an entry for it to /etc/crypttab
[15:05] <Mandeep_Singh> julius, I just read about them. collection of processes.
[15:05] <TJ-> julius: e.g. on an SSD it might be something like "LUKS_OS   UUID=f7175e39-2594-4cb9-b842-de2e1c208f61 none luks,discard"
[15:05] <specing> Mandeep_Singh: /etc/security/limits.conf
[15:05] <TJ-> julius: "LUKS_OS" is the device-mapper name given to the device when it is presented unencrypted under /dev/mapper/
[15:07] <julius> one second, need vim first
[15:07] <julius> TJ-, like this: cryptdevice=/dev/sda5        - contents of crypptab
[15:08] <TJ-> julius: " echo "LUKS_DEV UUID=$(blkid -s UUID -o value /dev/sdX none luks,discard" > /etc/crypttab  "  - where sdX is the encrypted block device - use UUIDs because device names can change
[15:08] <julius> you typed that from memory?
[15:08] <TJ-> julius: sorry, typo there!  " echo "LUKS_DEV UUID=$(blkid -s UUID -o value /dev/sdX) none luks,discard" > /etc/crypttab  "
[15:09] <Mandeep_Singh> specing, thanks. But can you tell me the exact keyword to look for if I want to limit the CPU usage to 85% (just to prevent the freezing).
[15:09] <TJ-> julius: yes; I do this frequently
[15:09] <Mandeep_Singh> Hail chrome
[15:09] <julius> TJ-, ah. good memory
[15:09] <Mandeep_Singh> rtprio!
[15:09] <specing> Mandeep_Singh: I doubt the freezing is due to CPU usage alone
[15:09] <Mandeep_Singh> yes RAM too
[15:10] <specing> mostly RAM
[15:10] <Mandeep_Singh> oh yes you are right!
[15:10] <Mandeep_Singh> Can you provide some workaround!
[15:10] <specing> enabling zram/CompCache helps massively
[15:12] <Mandeep_Singh> specing, I guess zram is already working on mine.
[15:12] <Mandeep_Singh> I don't remember the tool exactly, but it was related to zram.
[15:12] <specing> my limits.conf mentions rss and cpu <item>s
[15:12] <TJ-> julius: if the crypttab entry is correct, and you do "update-initramfs -uv |& tee /tmp/initrd.log" you can review the log and you should find a section (search for text 'cryptsetup') that installs the LUKS support. You should also see the LVM support included
[15:12] <Mandeep_Singh> and now in gnome-disks, I can see: 4 /dev/zram* of 510 MB each
[15:13] <specing> hmm, cpu is probab;y irrelevant
[15:13] <specing> Mandeep_Singh: you could also modify priority to be 1
[15:13] <julius> TJ-, cryp, i just overwrote the  crypttab in the running debian
[15:13] <julius> crap
[15:13] <specing> Xorg usually runs as root with priority 0
[15:14] <TJ-> julius: i thought you were in the chroot?
[15:14] <julius> different console tab
[15:15] <TJ-> julius: well, it might still be the same for Debian... it's the same LUKS container, right?
[15:15] <julius> no problem, i asked in #debian.  i will not reboot until that is fixed....yeah i got no updates yet
[15:15] <julius> yes, same luks. different partition
[15:15] <TJ-> julius: what do you mean 'different partition'
[15:15] <julius> sorry
[15:15] <julius> different logical volum
[15:15] <TJ-> julius: if you have encrypted lvm, that means a partition > luks > lvm > file-systems
[15:16] <TJ-> julius: OK, so *same* encrypted container (LUKS isn't bothered what is inside)
[15:16] <carpediembaby> Hi, I am trying to install some software but i don't know how to. It has some sort of config/make files but not the traditional ones. The repository contains configure.in and Makefile.am. Could someone point me on how to use these files?
[15:16] <TJ-> julius: so the entry will still be the same for Debian or Ubuntu
[15:16] <julius> yes thats it
[15:16] <julius> i really could kick my balls for not makeing a backup
[15:16] <TJ-> julius: the name in device-mapper doesn't matter unless you've hard-coded something to it, which is very very unlikely
[15:16] <carpediembaby> I suspect I have to use autoconf but I am not able to easily find how to use it while trying to google for it..
[15:16] <Mandeep_Singh> specing, priority to be 1 of what?
[15:17] <TJ-> julius: well, I was going to tell you to use >> not > but I thought 'you've just said there is no file there so no need' !
[15:17] <Mandeep_Singh> carpediembaby, there must be a README file. look for that
[15:17] <specing> Mandeep_Singh: of all user processes
[15:17] <specing>  Mandeep_Singh this way graphics (Xorg) has a higher priority (0)
[15:18] <julius> TJ-, you did well, i was sleeping
[15:18] <nickz> do you know what channel that i can ask about android studio and android programming?
[15:18] <mcphail> carpediembaby: they may have added something like an "autogen.sh" script to run autoconf etc. If not, you could try installing autoconf and automake and running ""autoreconf" to generate the configure script
[15:18] <specing> nickz: #android
[15:18] <carpediembaby> Mandeep_Singh: there is one but it doesn't say anything about how to install. https://github.com/chokkan/simstring
[15:19] <TJ-> julius: one good thing, now you know the crypttab files are identical, once you have both, you always have a backup :)
[15:19] <julius> :)
[15:19] <Mandeep_Singh> specing, okay, thanks. will try
[15:20] <mcphail> carpediembaby: generally, if you pull source from a repo rather than a tarball, the configure script won't have been pregenerated. It is assumed that if you are pulling from a repo you are a developer and can run the autotools yourself. See if there is a tarball available with a pregenerated script
[15:23] <Mandeep_Singh> carpediembaby, try running the autogen.sh
[15:24] <specing> when apt-get upgrade wants to run java: (:D)
[15:24] <specing> Running hooks in /etc/ca-certificates/update.d... Killed
[15:25] <julius> TJ-, could this be a valid crypttab? "sda5_crypt UUID=blah-blah-blah none luks,discard
[15:25] <julius> besides the blah blah
[15:25] <TJ-> julius: yes
[15:25] <TJ-> julius: so many systems have that UUID !
[15:26] <yoda_> My touchpad stopped responding all of a sudden. I tried everypossible thing but it is still not starting.
[15:27] <yoda_> I have a dual booted system with windows 10 and a synaptic touchpad.
[15:27] <julius> TJ-, well its not supposed to be unique to different systems..is it?
[15:28] <TJ-> julius: the UUID is unique to each encrypted container
[15:28] <julius> will do
[15:29] <TJ-> julius: each time you create a LUKS container it'll get a different UUID unless you assign one yourself
[15:32] <paul___> any one else got a cisco vpn client working on ubunutu, i get the following errors http://pastebin.centos.org/42096/

[15:33] <paul___> it is right the linux/autoconf.h doesn't exist as it's in generated/ and not surw how to fix it
[15:33] <julius> TJ-, now i got one last problem (hopefully)
[15:33] <ybw_> Hi everybody! I have trouble with `asla`. When I try to configure loopback (when I put pcm.!default) my default section (I'm viewing it in aplay -L) becomes is empty.
[15:33] <k1l_> paul___:  no need to install stuff. use vpnc package
[15:34] <ybw_> I want to write to `default` and capture audio in `loopout`
[15:34] <paul___> that the built in network manager package k1l_
[15:34] <k1l_> paul___: yes. that works
[15:35] <julius> TJ-, when the debian ....4.5.0-040500-lowlatency  kernel is in /boot which is shared by debian and ubuntu, update-grub assigns a boot entry for debian with that kernel and one for ubuntu...but i already got a different kernel for ubuntu...is there a way to tell update-grub that this is for debian or ubuntu?

[15:43] <k1l_> purelazy: what is the output of "lsb_release -d"?
[15:43] <Jordan_U> purelazy: What version of Ubuntu are you running? What library are you trying to use?
[15:43] <purelazy> Or any kernel version for that matter

[15:44] <purelazy> CUDA
[15:45] <popey> !mint | purelazy
[15:45] <TJ-> julius: no; you need to let one or the other generate the grub.cfg, and then in whichever you do that, add a custom script under /etc/grub.d/ to generate the entry you want where it shares a kernel but has an alternate initrd

[15:50] <julius> TJ-, ah ok...so looking at that bash mess in /etc/grub is needed
[15:51] <paul___> hmm
[15:52] <MED> hey, need help installing nvidia drivers on my laptop can you help?
[15:52] <ie934> when is released gnome 3.20 for ubuntu thanks?
[15:52] <ybw_> someone can help me  with alsa ?
[15:53] <MonkeyDust> ie934
[15:53] <MonkeyDust> ie934
[15:53] <TJ-> julius: on Ubuntu at least, /etc/grub.d/41_custom can be used to import a customised grub.cfg fragment
[15:53] <MonkeyDust> ie934  https://wiki.gnome.org/ThreePointNineteen/ReleaseNotes
[15:54] <ie934> thanks! MonkeyDust
[15:54] <TJ-> julius: or, you can add it manually via /etc/grub.d/40_custom
[15:55] <MonkeyDust> ie934  also https://www.gnome.org/news/2016/03/gnome-3-20-released/
[15:55] <ie934> :D thanks
[15:57] <k1l_> ie934: there will be no official 3.20 in the ubuntu repos since even for 16.04 the gnome release is already too late. you can look out for PPAs
[15:58] <Jordan_U> julius: TJ-: You can also just add menu entries to /boot/grub/custom.cfg verbatum (create the file if it doesn't already exist).
[15:58] <ie934> oki thanks i waiting for ppas k1l_
[15:58] <TJ-> Jordan_U: yes, that is what /etc/grub.d/41_custom brings in
[16:04] <B1nny> Hi there, does anyone in here know where I can get an ISO or an installer script to install the Dell developer edition Ubuntu version on my Dell XPS 13?
[16:05] <Neil1501> hi
[16:07] <Craigwell> anyone know a good channel for tv / network / sattelite /
[16:07] <Craigwell> ?
[16:07] <Craigwell> i  want to use 14.04 for a tv tuner card, but have other un-related stuff i want to discuss
[16:08] <MonkeyDust> Craigwell  #ubuntu-offtopic
[16:15] <Neil1501> I have got a strange problem, my video card is a Nvidia gtx 970 right now using Nouveau display driver, if I use proprietary driver by Nvidia everything works until the pc goes in the sleep state, when I "wake" it up it tells me there is no network available (I only use wired connection), but this doesn't happen if I use open source drivers... Has this strange behavior ever happened to your pc? And the only problem with open source drivers is
[16:23] <gilje> Has anyone tried using Unity with a 4K screen?
[16:25] <MonkeyDust> gilje  that's a yes/no question ... what brings you here?
[16:27] <gilje> I was wondering how compatibility was. Planning on buying a 4K monitor and driving with a (modern) nvidia card with open-source drivers. Is it going to function without problems
[16:33] <Guy1524> Hey guys, so out of nowhere, my boot time turned from 3 seconds to about 3 minutes (guess).  I have an ssd and once booted, everything works completely normally.  So I have no idea what is wrong, is there a way to find out whats bottlnecking the boot?
[16:33] <EriC^^> Guy1524: type dmesg in a terminal after it boots
[16:33] <EriC^^> or boot without quiet splash in grub
[16:35] <Guy1524> ok
[16:36] <Guy1524> ok, Ill reboot now, see you in a few minutes
[16:40] <Guy1524> Hey guys, Im back, here is my boot log from dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15488278/
[16:41] <Guy1524> oh and if anyone didn't get my original question, here it is:
[16:41] <Guy1524> Hey guys, so out of nowhere, my boot time turned from 3 seconds to about 3 minutes (guess).  I have an ssd and once booted, everything works completely normally.  So I have no idea what is wrong, is there a way to find out whats bottlnecking the boot?
[16:41] <llutz> Guy1524: 90 second jump when initializing wifi, check it
[16:42] <compdoc> Guy1524, use the Disk Utility and check the SMART for each drive
[16:43] <Guy1524> ok
[16:43] <Jordan_U> Guy1524: The output of "systemd-analyze blame" could also be enlightening.
[16:44] <Guy1524> Jordan_U: here is the systemd command you asked me to enter: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15488302/
[16:44] <Guy1524> compdoc: how do I check SMART?
[16:45] <compdoc> the Disk Utility
[16:45] <Guy1524> llutz: check what
[16:45] <Guy1524> compdoc: I know, but once in there how do I check smart
[16:45] <Guy1524> also guys, I have ubuntu gnome if that complicates thing at all
[16:45] <compdoc> oh, click the little gear icon in the corner
[16:46] <Guy1524> oh, found it
[16:46] <compdoc> ant bad sectors?
[16:46] <compdoc> any
[16:47] <Guy1524> compdoc: it shows this: http://i.imgur.com/Ih233mI.png
[16:47] <TJ-> Guy1524: when you say 'booted'... do you mean until you get the greeter log-in screen, or until after you've logged in and the desktop  is usable?
[16:47] <Guy1524> oh sorry, thats not all
[16:48] <Guy1524> until I get to the display manager, GDM in my case
[16:48] <Guy1524> compdoc: all the assessments read OK if thats what you mean
[16:49] <TJ-> Guy1524: can you tell at what point during boot it delays? have you booted in Recovery mode and see if it is affected the same way? have you added 'debug' to the kernel command-line at the GRUB boot menu
[16:49] <TJ-> Guy1524: can you "pastebinit <( dmesg )"
[16:49] <Guy1524> I already have
[16:49] <Guy1524> TJ: <Guy1524> Hey guys, Im back, here is my boot log from dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15488278/
[16:50] <TJ-> Guy1524: that looks like it stalls at line 1132 with the ACPI error
[16:50] <Guy1524> oh
[16:51] <nickz> where should i go with the error says that my system is supported virtual machine? i am using ubuntu mate, with core 2 duo chip, nvidia something series, in the form of acer desktop brand
[16:51] <nickz> is not supported with*
[16:52] <Guy1524> I tried checking doing this thing in disk utility but all the disks said OK
[16:52] <Guy1524> or IDs
[16:52] <Guy1524> idk, I have no idea what any of that meant lol
[16:52] <k1l_> nickz: where do you get that message? and what exact message/error?
[16:54] <Guy1524> compdoc: Is this bad: http://i.imgur.com/ENyhJ4i.png
[16:54] <TJ-> Guy1524: can you "pastebinit <( sudo strings /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DSDT | grep -i 'Windows ' )"
[16:55] <Guy1524> no such file of directory
[16:55] <TJ-> Guy1524: huh? really. can you check what you see with "ls /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/"
[16:56] <Guy1524> I dont have anything named DSDT inside tables
[16:56] <Guy1524> APIC  BGRT  DMAR  DSDT  dynamic  ECDT  FACP  FACS  FPDT  HPET  MCFG  MSDM  PCCT  SSDT1  SSDT2  SSDT3  SSDT4  SSDT5  SSDT6  SSDT7  SSDT8  SSDT9
[16:56] <Guy1524> is what is inside there
[16:56] <Guy1524> dynamic is the only folder there
[16:56] <TJ-> Guy1524: well I see the DSDT there
[16:56] <TJ-> Guy1524: did you mis-type the command?
[16:57] <Guy1524> I copied and pasted
[16:57] <TJ-> Guy1524: ooo, do you have the tool? "which pastebinit"
[16:57] <Guy1524> it says /usr/bin/pastebinit
[16:57] <TJ-> Guy1524: ok, it's there; thought it should be on 15.10
[16:58] <TJ-> Guy1524: lets break it down a bit: "stat /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DSDT"
[16:58] <Guy1524> Ill do it manually
[16:58] <peace> I am having problem with libpng?
[16:59] <abb4s> hi every body , i have a problem with usb on ubuntu sometimes when i plug a usb drive to system it change to read-only file system , and i cant repair it ? where is the problem ? what i should do ?
[16:59] <Jordan_U> abb4s: How have you tried to repair it?
[16:59] <Guy1524> I got this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15488417/
[17:00] <abb4s> Jordan_U, i tried some command lines in forums like, mount -o -remount ...
[17:00] <abb4s> or dosfsck -a /dev/sd{xn}
[17:01] <abb4s> I try to format it by gpart but it say : drive is write-protected
[17:01] <Jordan_U> abb4s: Please pastebin the output from dosfsck. It's quite likely that your USB drive is just corrupting data though.
[17:01] <TJ-> Guy1524: OK; I'd suggest trying to have Linux kernel pretend to be a Windows version, because when the ACPI DSDT code sees that it'll enable more services. At the boot-loader menu (hold Shift at boot-up) edit the entry and add to the 'linux ...' line "acpi_osi=Windows 2013" (including those double-quotation marks) then press Ctrl+X to boot immediately with that change.
[17:01] <TJ-> Guy1524: do you know how to edit a boot-menu entry?
[17:02] <ratocyber> hello
[17:02] <Guy1524> yes
[17:02] <ratocyber> ow
[17:02] <Guy1524> I have grub customizer so I can do it from there
[17:02] <ratocyber> I em Brazil
[17:02] <TJ-> Guy1524: great... with that change Linux will report itself as Windows 2013 and hopefully the DSDT will enable all available ACPI services
[17:02] <Guy1524> also it worked fine, but then out of nowhere it started doing this
[17:02] <Guy1524> ok
[17:03] <TJ-> Guy1524: kernel upgrade possibly? can you pin it down to a date/time and compare with the /var/log/apt/ logs for what changed jsut before it started?
[17:03] <peace> http://paste.ubuntu.com/15488440/ -----> hoe do i resolve this
[17:03] <mojtaba> Keepass2 does not work and when I execute it, a window will suddenly open and close. Do you know how can I fix it? http://paste.ubuntu.com/15478309/
[17:03] <Guy1524> ok, let me try putting that in TJ
[17:04] <ratocyber> my first time here
[17:04] <ratocyber> ^^
[17:04] <Guy1524> TJ: so I added it: 	linux	/boot/vmlinuz-4.2.0-34-generic.efi.signed root=UUID=848bbe68-d727-4088-b6e1-4d6a1e28ffe3 ro  quiet splash $vt_handoff "acpi_osi=Windows 2013"
[17:04] <abb4s> Jordan_U, it is the out put of dosfsck : http://paste.ubuntu.com/15488448/
[17:04] <Guy1524> TJ: is that good?
[17:05] <Guy1524> TJ are you still there?
[17:05] <ratocyber> yes
[17:05] <Guy1524> TJ: I guess I will try it, here goes nothing
[17:06] <abb4s> Jordan_U, it say "Operation not permitted" . i think it wont work :(
[17:06] <TJ-> Guy1524: I'm not clear what command you issued, or on what file-system (what is /dev/sdb1) ?
[17:06] <TJ-> Guy1524: oh ignore me! I got the pastebin from abb4s thought it was yours!!
[17:06] <TJ-> Guy1524: yes, that looks correct
[17:07] <ratocyber> someone speaks or writes Portuguese
[17:07] <ratocyber> ?
[17:07] <k1l_> !pt | ratocyber
[17:07] <ratocyber> Ok
[17:08] <texla> where do i find errlog in 14.04.4
[17:08] <Jordan_U> abb4s: What is the exact command you ran?
[17:08] <Guy1524_> TJ: that didn't help
[17:09] <abb4s> Jordan_U, sudo dosfsck -a /dev/sdb1
[17:09] <Guy1524_> TJ: are you still there
[17:09] <Jordan_U> abb4s: Is this a cheap USB flash drive? An SD card reader? Something else?
[17:09] <Guy1524_> whatever, I give up I guess ):
[17:10] <peace> Hello, can anyone help me regarding my error . http://paste.ubuntu.com/15488440/
[17:10] <abb4s> Jordan_U, it is typical usb drive ADATA 16 GIG

[17:20] <flaf> Hello @all, _sometimes_ I have this error on Ubuntu Trusty after an basic “apt-get update” => W: Failed to fetch http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-updates/main/binary-amd64/Packages  Hash Sum mismatch
[17:20] <lotuspsychje> flaf: addes ppa's of any kind mate?
[17:20] <flaf> After few minutes, it disappears without any action.
[17:20] <flaf> lotuspsychje: no.
[17:20] <lotuspsychje> flaf: other packages manual install?
[17:21] <flaf> for instance with http://ubuntu.mirror.su.se/ubuntu in the sources.list no error.
[17:22] <flaf> lotuspsychje: I have http://apt.puppetlabs.com in my sources.list and http://apt.postgresql.org
[17:22] <lotuspsychje> flaf: that doesnt seem official ubuntu ppa
[17:23] <lotuspsychje> flaf: purge them and try again
[17:23] <qu4nt1n> !movies german
[17:23] <lotuspsychje> !warez | qu4nt1n
[17:24] <dax> flaf: Hash Sum mismatches on the official update servers (which that is) are caused by a race condition in the mirror update scripts. If they don't go away after a short period of time, remove your apt list cache per https://askubuntu.com/questions/41605/trouble-downloading-packages-list-due-to-a-hash-sum-mismatch-error
[17:24] <flaf> But this is not the cause because the problem happens too in another Trusty where I have just the "official" repositories.
[17:24] <dax> lotuspsychje: the server identified in the Hash Sum error line is the one that's having problems, the PPA/third-party stuff isn't related
[17:24] <texla> !logs

[17:30] <mia> Hey all -- is ther any way to use existing windows programs on ubuntu
[17:30] <mia> I alrady have a working windows on another partition
[17:30] <mia> I know that to some extent you can use wine to install and use windows software b I'm wondering if this would be possible on existing windows programs
[17:31] <PSUser2>  how safe is it to host a website for personal use( password access https, only i will have access) in a VM on a PC that contains personal data? Host - windows 7 VM - ubuntu
[17:31] <peace> hello.I need a help with libpng.If anyone is using ubuntu LTS14.04 LTS, can anyone get me o/p of sudo apt-get install libpng/libpng2/libpng3
[17:32] <peace> mia: you can try running executable one's.
[17:32] <mia> would it harm to mount the windows hd and try to run those somehow ?
[17:32] <mia> cc peace
[17:33] <peace> mia: depends on your machine
[17:33] <mia> hm how
[17:33] <mia> or, depends on what
[17:34] <Jordan_U> mia: I doubt that that would work for most programs, but please ask in #winehq .
[17:34] <peace> mia: you don't need to mount to access windows file i guess.
[17:35] <_Deimos_> qun
[17:35] <mia> peace, how else can I access
[17:35] <mia> also, is mount harmful?
[17:35] <peace> mia: no.

[18:14] <dhex> yea
[18:15] <genii> clarkk: Look up the PPA owners and see if they belong to some reputable team or not
[18:16] <sunine> hi

[18:37] <wellick> hi, how can I read the default commands of my linux distro? I can see them on /bin but when i open them with gedit all I get is gibberish
[18:37] <Seveas> wellick: that's because most of them will have been compiled into binary machine code. You'll need to get the sources and read those.
[18:38] <wellick> By get the sources you mean hack linus torvalds?
[18:38] <ice9> how to use the ambient light sensor?
[18:39] <Seveas> wellick: not quite that extreme. Just for instance apt-get source coreutils to get the sources for commands like 'ls'
[18:48] <wellick> Seveas: thanks
[18:48] <rud0lf> Seveas: where can i find those sources after apt-get?
[18:49] <Seveas> rud0lf: not sure what you mean with that
[18:49] <rud0lf> "..to get the sources" .. where should i browse in nautilus to see them?
[18:49] <reisio> rud0lf: which sources?
[18:50] <rud0lf> coreutils
[18:50] <wellick> Seveas: permission denied :/
[18:50] <Seveas> rud0lf: ah, apt-get source downloads into the directory where you run the command
[18:50] <rud0lf> ow
[18:50] <rud0lf> silly me :) thanks
[18:50] <Seveas> wellick: probably because you're in /bin, try in your homedir
[18:51] <StillSpam> Hey, anyone here?
[18:51] <Seveas> nope. We're all out drinking.
[18:52] <StillSpam> lol nice one
[18:52] <dwillems> Seveas: +1
[18:52] <StillSpam> I know this ain't the channel but I'm wondering if anyone here could help me with a quick question on email spam filters
[18:52] <Seveas> StillSpam: just use gmail :)
[18:52] <Seveas> if you really want to do it yourself: RBL's are much more effective than spamfilters.
[18:53] <StillSpam> lol yeah you hasn't heard my question
[18:53] <Seveas> StillSpam: I'm afraid of the question, so trying to prevent you asking it :D
[18:53] <dax> unreasonably often on IRC when this topic comes up, the question is "i'm an unsolicited bulk commercial email sender, how do i get around spam filters" :(
[18:54] <Seveas> dax: heh, that wasn't even what I was thinking
[18:55] <StillSpam> I'm sending a mass email for work (totally legit email, CAN SPAM Act compliant and all), but one of the spam rules (URI_TRY_3LD) keeps showing up, sending it straight to spam. The rule is to filter out emails containing the words "try it," but these words are nowhere in my email or the links it includes. Any thoughts on how I could get around that?
[18:55] <StillSpam> dax: that's the thing though, it's not unsolicited.
[18:55] <minimec> wellick: rud0lf: It's the first time I read here that people want to dig the coreutils... Respect! I never did... Just that you know where the tributes should go to... ;) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Core_Utilities
[18:55] <zaggynl> hm, 30MB/s using ubuntu-zfs on usb3 disk, ~110MB/s on ext4, what gives?
[18:55] <Seveas> URI_TRY_3LD doesn't sound like it would filter "try it", rather "try.example.com"
[18:56] <dax> m,^https?://(?:try|start|get|save|check(?!out)|act|compare|join|learn|request|visit(?!or)|my(?!sub)\w)[^.]*\.[^/]+\.(?:com|net)\b,i
[18:56] <dax> URI matching that ^
[18:56] <wellick> minimec: well, I wanted to have a look for learning purposes as I'm learning Bash, but now that i've seen just ls has 5k lines maybe I'm being overambitious lol
[18:56] <wellick> (yes I know ls is not bash)
[18:56] <Seveas> !abs
[18:56] <minimec> wellick: rofl ;)
[18:56] <Seveas> wellick: --^
[18:56] <StillSpam> dax: oooh thanks lemme check the copy of the email/links
[18:56] <rud0lf> i'm new to linux (installed since feb 28 this year), but not new to programming/system concepts, and i like to dig deep to know better
[18:57] <dax> wellick: knowing GNU coreutils, half of that is probably nonsense boilerplate
[18:57] <StillSpam> dax: any good online resources so I don't need to bother this chan? lol
[18:57] <dax> StillSpam: no, i found that by googling "URI_TRY_3LD" :P

[18:58] <gde33|2> (before formatting my main drive and installing ubuntu) I need to move some files to an usb storage device that only works on 64 bits systems, can I use the live cd usb install on pendrivelinux to access the usb storage device?
[18:58] <dax> StillSpam: i don't use spamassassin so i'm not sure about resources for it
[18:58] <StillSpam> dax: thanks, I appreciate it! I'll try some more things but I'm prob gonna email our vendor cuz it looks like its on their end
[19:00] <gde33|2> will the pendrive ubuntu detect the usb disks?
[19:07] <minimec> gde33|2: You should be able to do that.
[19:07] <gde33|2> ok thanks, lets try
[19:08] <gde33|2> I figure if I use the 64 bit image it should do just that
[19:28] <rud0lf> grr.. didn't know i can open a new tab in nautilus
[19:28] <Bashing-om> rud0lf: 'buntu, a never ending process of learning .
[19:29] <gde33|2> is     ubuntu-14.04.4-desktop-amd64.iso    for amd processors?
[19:29] <rud0lf> ha i managed to crash nautilus
[19:29] <Bashing-om> gde33|2: Generic term; for any 64 bit processor .
[19:29] <minimec> gde33|2: amd/intel 64 bit, so yes
[19:30] <gde33|2> oh ok, thanks
[19:30] <baizon> gde33|2: its amd64 because amd invented 64 bit
[19:31] <gde33|2> ah ic, confusing name nontheless :P
