vjacobhi all. is there any way to check from within linux, whether or not a certain PCI(e) slot is taken or not? I've looked at /proc and at lspci but none of these seem to offer a clear output00:06
naccvjacob: maybe lshw says?00:07
vjacobnacc, seems a nice tip, thanks, I will look into it00:08
naccvjacob: i think slot information generally requires some help from a lower layer to actually provide that data, i doubt it's done commonly00:08
naccvjacob: ah, dmidecode might do it00:09
naccvjacob: the "current usage" field for each slot00:10
naccvjacob: sorry for the misdirection on lshw00:13
django_anyone know how to install brave browser00:13
vjacobnaw man, that was awesome, cheers nacc!00:13
vjacob-dmideco +dmidecode00:13
naccdjango_: go to their website and follow the instructions?00:14
naccdjango_: not supported here, though00:14
django_it didnt work00:14
naccdjango_: then ask them?00:14
vjacob"Current Usage: Unknown". Perfect.00:14
naccvjacob: hrm, i wonder what tha means00:14
vjacobi take it that means free00:14
naccvjacob: i get either "In Use" or "Available"00:15
vjacobbut then there is also "Current Usage: Available", so maybe not...00:15
naccvjacob: it might imply an out of date BIOS (as I believe DMI information is basically stored in a table)00:15
naccvjacob: could also mean a partially or mis-seated card?00:15
vjacobnacc, yeah, apparently my bios is a bit screwy according to dmesg00:15

fullstackquick way to install X11 on Ubuntu Server? apt-get install x11?00:52
linos__what is the simplest way to connect linux VM to windows PC?00:52

linos__fullstack, I have VirtualBox00:53
fullstackis there a menu option for sharing files between machines in VirtualBox?00:53
linos__fullstack, do I need to modify my smb.conf file?00:55
=== al2o3-cr1 is now known as al2o3-cr
b-yeezilinos__: No you shouldn't need to change smb.conf01:03
b-yeeziif you have virtualbox guest additions installed, you should be able to check a box in settings to share a folder. You can indicate which folder01:05
linos__b-yeezi, can I uninstall and reinstall samba?01:06
linos__b-yeezi, I think my smb file is screwed up01:06
b-yeeziOf course you can, but I don't know if that will fix your problem. What is the problem?01:07
YankDownUnderlinos__: You can use "dpkg" to reconfigure Samba if you think you've screwed it up.01:07
naccfullstack: probably xserver-xorg is what you're looking for (or something similar)01:07
naccfullstack: although installing X on a server makes me want to know why you need it :)01:08
nacclinos__: what are you trying to do ('connect linux vm to windows pc' is rather general -- do you mean you want remote desktop? do you want to share files?)01:09

pilapodapostacheCan I get a hand? I installed an application called Platformio (based off Atom text editor) and I can't uninstall it. I can't find a "add remove programs" derivative a la Windows...01:27

pilapodapostacheI believe it was a downloaded package from their website01:28
pilapodapostacheIt was a while ago, I can't remember.01:28
pilapodapostacheStuff like this I'd reinstall Ubuntu but I'd like to at least keep this os for a while longer01:29
pilapodapostacheGoogling brings up their documentation where I type in terminal "platformio platforms uninstall PLATFORM" but my terminal doesn't recognize "platformio"01:29
YankDownUnderpilapodapostache: Is it safe to assume you've read the docs on their website as to how to remove the package - since in most instances "Installation instructions" also come with "Un-installation instructions"?01:30

ahrc333ffthane1: can you provide context, or an example?01:49
dave0x6dIs there a reason why ports.ubuntu.com seems to go down so often?01:50
YankDownUnderdave0x6d: Either high traffic or DNS...01:51
thane1like firefox closes, ubuntu goes inpanic mode, crash reports are generated01:51
dave0x6dYankDownUnder: the IP didn't change and it was completely rejecting connections -=\01:51
YankDownUnderthane1: Not very specific - however, something that I would be wondering is if you've got the proper video drivers installed, and as well, if you've got all the required "third party" drivers installed...01:52
thane1yes, have a look http://ctrlv.in/80767601:52
YankDownUnderdave0x6d: If it's rejecting connections, then that tells you that the server had reached it's maximum amount of connections, hmm...01:52
dave0x6dheh, I guess.01:53
YankDownUnderthane1: That would be telling me that there is something missing - as in a driver that allows the kernel to communicate to the CPU...hmm...01:53
thane1its not that, its working fine for years01:54
ahrc333ffthane1: this isn't a specific fix, but have you made any recewnt installrs or updates?01:55
ahrc333ffit might be worth apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade01:55
YankDownUnderthane1: Let's be logical for a moment, shall we? What has been installed/changed/modified since it was "working fine" to this point where "everything is crashing"?01:56
thane1yes,which came with deault updates, thats it01:56
ahrc333ffthane1: maybe something was corrupted in that process...01:56
thane1YankDownUnder: recent update maybe01:57
YankDownUnderahrc333ff: Sounds like a "bingo!" in that, eh....01:57
ahrc333ffYankDownUnder: maybe so :) I'm still pretty noob and just throw crap at the wall until it sticks. The fun is the journey!01:57
YankDownUnderthane1: Here's some things to quickly think about doing => 1.) In a terminal run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" => 2.) Reboot. After that, in a terminal, type: "sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall" => follow any directions, probably reboot again...01:58
ahrc333ffOh, also add the '-f' option to fix any broken packages.01:58
thane1ahrc333ff: i think problem is with new kernel update01:58
thane1i'll do01:59
TylerWhitneyHi good ubuntu folks. I attempted to upgrade my server from 14.04 to 16.04 tonight and the installation failed. When I try to get things working again with the "apt-get -f dist-upgrade" command to the packages it fails on "util-linux" package with "insserv: Service mountdevsubfs has to be enabled to start service hwclock" ... while I have a backup, I figured I'd play around with this botched system as a learning experience02:10
TylerWhitneyany thoughts?02:11
YankDownUnderTylerWhitney: If anything,  you might want to pose this question in the #ubuntu-server channel...I'm fairly certain you might get a better/faster response there, hmm...02:12
TylerWhitney@YankDownUnder: thanks for that suggestion, I just cross-posted it over there02:12
YankDownUnderTylerWhitney: And is it safe to assume that you've re-traced your upgrade/update again - starting from the beginning - just to make sure, hmm...?02:13
TylerWhitneyYankDownUnder: do you mean re-running each command? For instance, I started with a "do-release-upgrade" which "succeeded" but with errors it stated02:15
YankDownUnderTylerWhitney: Right oh - was just confirming that, mate.02:16
TylerWhitneyYankDownUnder: Yes, I went through each again, of course now it thinks its at 16.06, which technically it is, but with packages/apt in a half installed state02:17
YankDownUnderTylerWhitney: And you've also done a "sudo apt-get -f install" - just to see if that assists in repairing the installation/upgrade?02:18
TylerWhitneyYankDownUnder: Yup! Tried that one too. Same error as when I tried "apt-get -f dist-upgrade"02:19
YankDownUnderTylerWhitney: Fair enough.02:20

chasinglogicMonona a unix socket is essentially a file that can "simulate" (for lack of a better word) network communication, it's only available locally. A port can be used over a network02:53

YankDownUnderantonio222: Something to consider - this being a laptop - have you thought to go through all of the BIOS settings - just to make sure that the CMOS/BIOS settings are not corrupt - sometimes batteries (CMOS batteries) tend to freak things out when they're dying...and as well, is there anything plugged in whilst you're booting that should not be plugged in?03:59
madsabayman, you can look in /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants04:01

madsathere's probably a better way though...04:01
antonio222Yankdownunder: nada04:03
YankDownUnderantonio222: Therefore, firstly, power off the machine, and carefully look through your BIOS. Secondly, when you boot up, hit "Esc" so that you see the initial Ubuntu boot menu...see if you're booting into the correct kernel...thirdly, if things continue to "hose up", then there is a rescue that can be done, eh?

ubuntulalais there a way to put the desktop install into text mode like the server installer so i can partition my software raid properly?04:06
=== raspberr_ is now known as raspberrypifan
antonio222Yankdownunder how can I check in bios for cmos errors?04:11
YankDownUnderubuntulala: Why not use the LiveUSB to do the partitioning, and then do the installation after that - or, as well, during the installation you're given the option to manually partition drives...hmm?04:11
ubuntulalai can't see a way to set up software raid with LiveUSB04:11
ubuntulalawhen you install server in manual mode it gives the raid option, i don't see that anywhere in desktop install04:12
YankDownUnderantonio222: Mate, I don't know your machine - YOU should know your machine - check all the settings - make sure they're proper - when you're happy with that, obviously, save the settings and test booting into your system If that fails, then reboot, and hit "Esc" so that you see the actual Ubuntu boot menu (grub2) - and make sure you're booting into the right kernel...04:12
ubuntulalathe desktop manual mode is crippled, it doesn't have the raid option04:12
ubuntulalamaybe i just have to install server and add desktop manually04:13
antonio222Yankdownunder how can I make sure its loading the right kernel?04:13
antonio222The one at the top is 3.13.0-7-87-generic04:14
YankDownUnderantonio222: If anything, there would be several different kernel versions listed.04:14
YankDownUnder3.13? Mmm...04:14
YankDownUnderantonio222: So you've tried booting again and it did the same - it hung - or are you going to try that now?04:15
cburke_hey ! i have an emulator that outputs video04:15
cburke_and i want to pick said video back up04:15
cburke_preferably in python. what's the straightforward way to do this?04:15
cburke_it outputs right to an avi file. should i repeatedly read it and check for new frames?04:16
cburke_if this is not the place for such a question, sorry, where is?04:16
YankDownUndercburke_: Patience.04:16
baymanhow to see all apt packages installed?04:16
antonio222Yankdownunder222 IV04:16
cburke_YankDownUnder, OK04:17
antonio222Yankdownunder I've tried numerous ones from that screen.  None are working. Chasinglogic said it looks like x11 isn't starting up properly04:17
madsabayman, run dpkg -l04:18
cburke_YankDownUnder, I do not know IRC etiquette. Last time I was on an IRC channel I trolled until I was b&04:18
YankDownUnderantonio222: If "X" is not starting properly, try this...let the system boot to where it appears to be "hung"...then hit "CTRL+ALT+F1" - see if that takes you to a console login...hmm?04:18
baymanhow to check available packages from my distro?04:19
antonio222It does take me to a text login.  Tried that earlier04:19
YankDownUndercburke_: The "idea" is to state  your issue, then, well, wait.04:19
cburke_YankDownUnder, OK, what am I waiting for? Is there a 'bump' on irc?04:19
YankDownUnderantonio222: Right...so it DOES take you to a text...right...well, what would be the presumably best thing to do then - is to "login" at the console...can you do that now?04:20
antonio222Yankdownunder: here's what happens https://youtu.be/aF_j4f5eT2804:23
YankDownUnderantonio222: ARgh...I don't want to watch videos, bro...I *am* taking the time to try to help...please, just login if you can, hmm?04:23
antonio222How do I login?04:23
antonio222With my ubuntu login?04:24
YankDownUnderantonio222: When you're at the "console" login, yes, your Ubuntu login stuff...04:24
antonio222Telling me login is incorrect.  I haven't changed my password in 2 years04:25
cburke_antonio222, is there a prompt that lets you log in or is it just spamming that message about disks over and over?04:25
cburke_antonio222, audio quality is very difficult to hear what you're saying, btw04:26
YankDownUnderantonio222: And you're using your proper username, proper password, hmm?04:26
antonio222If I hit enter it goes to Pam-laptop login:04:26
antonio222If I don't type for a while they asking for cache data failed message pops up04:27
YankDownUnderantonio222: The system requires a username and a password. Unless you know the "root" login password...04:27
antonio222My account is the main account.  I use my password anytime I need to use sudo in terminal04:28

YankDownUnderantonio222: Ok, you're not really telling me heaps...I am blind, so if you don't tell me exactly what you're doing, or where you're at, I can't really "see". Hmm. So, that being said, please do tell...04:38

YankDownUnderantonio222: Do you know what graphics driver you use? If so, then do the "reconfigure graphics", hmm...04:52
antonio222Wtf!  It won't let me change the options04:55
YankDownUnderThen just continue in low graphics mode...get to the desktop.04:56

antonio222Just saying stand by while the display starts...04:58
antonio222If I click on ok it takes me back to the recovery menu04:59
YankDownUnderantonio222: So we can deduce at least two things from this - right now - your "display manager" - i.e., "lightdm" is malfunctioning - and your graphics drivers are malfunctioning...that much we know right now...05:01
YankDownUnderantonio222: So, what would be the best thing to do is to get back to the recovery console...hmm?05:01
antonio222The only option is troubleshoot05:03
antonio222Yankdownunder Im completely at a loss for what i can do next05:05

cfhowlettabhinav, actually, if you check your system settings, you will find that you, in fact, authorized internet access of scopes.  the cure?  1.  go back to system privacy settings and disable  or 2. do not use unity.  installing an alternate desktop environment without scopes is so easy a caveman could do it.05:44

toni1Hello, I have a pretty severe problem. For a while now, I've been having trouble installing packages, and there are certain packages (libreoffice e.g.) that I can't get to work at all.07:56
toni1So I decided to try reinstalling all my packages.07:57
toni1Problem is, I can't reinstall debconf, and it tells me that the package is in a bad way07:57
ikoniawhy are you re-installing all your packages07:57
ikoniathats never going to work07:57
ikoniajust fix the packages that are broken/causing conflict (no doubt from a PPA)07:58
frudoikonia: if some reason root disk full but not to identify its serious problem...07:58
toni1the problem is, whenever I try installing a package, it tells me it canÄt be configured. I then have to manually remove the scripts in /var/lib/dpkg/info and then redo the install07:59
toni1which worked for most packages, but not for all07:59
ikoniatoni1: so the package logs will normally show you why it can't be configured07:59

MrokiiHello. How can I configure bash so that when I type something like "ls " and hit the "arrow up"-key it goes back to the last occasion I used that particular command? Unfortunately I don't know what the function is called so I don't know what to look for on the web.08:18

tombeeCool okay, thanks.08:24
ikoniatoni1: no, remove the packages that depend on the missing/failed dependencies08:24
ikoniatoni1: I suspect this is because you've used PPA's08:25
toni1ikonia: I tried this. It said "fontconfig depends on fontconfig-config", so I checked that fontconfig isn't essential and tried removing. But it returns an error code for debconf still: "status half-configured debconf:all 1.5.58ubuntu1"08:27

ikoniaI'd like to know how debconf got broke08:38

toni1Seveas: it tells me that debconf does not have any data in /var/lib/dpkg/info/debconf.list08:44
Seveastoni1: well, you said you were manually messing about with files in there. Maybe reinstalling debconf again will restore that file.08:45
Seveastoni1: generally, when you mess about in /var/lib/dpkg/info, you will break things. Don't do it.08:46
toni1Seveas: This was the solution on the German wiki, but duly noted. I figure reinstalling the system is less hastle than fixing it at this point. Thanks guys! Really appreciate the help!08:47

alkisgdrale2k: when you boot with the stick, you can then access its root contents in the /isodevice folder09:47

alkisgdpkg-reconfigure grub-pc, allows for updating the cmdline with a text dialog, without editing files09:53
plsheeeelpk1l: what do i do about that?09:53

alkisgplsheeeelp: did you remove any software before the restart?10:02
plsheeeelpalkisg: no I did not10:02

plsheeeelpalkisg: I've deleted the quiet splash and verified that its deleted(saved) but I still get the damn purple screen10:03

Triffid_HunterILoveUbuntuYou2: ubuntu always has outdated packages, in the name of 'stability'11:18
mcphailILoveUbuntuYou2: it sounds as if you have reached the bounds of your competence. If you want Ubuntu to configure gnome and greeter, run the ubuntu-gnome-desktop metapackage. If you feel you can configure it yourself, just install the gnome package11:18

joeliono, it really doesn't - just install the right metapackage and away you go11:22

joelioso either use alternate and install gnome, or use live and install gnome using the http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/ubuntu-gnome-desktop pacage11:22
ILoveUbuntuYou2If I were physically with my friend (he's 3000 miles away and affraid of a terminal) I would just grab gnubuntu or ubuntu gnome or whichever and install it via USB and be done with it all11:23
ILoveUbuntuYou2but in that event I would instead install Arch so he could have more choice and help him manage it.11:23
joeliosure, well I've told you the easy way to do it11:23
ikoniaand yet you've just said he's scared of the terminal11:23
ikoniaILoveUbuntuYou2: the quicker you stop this arch bragging nonsense and focus on giving info on your problem and working wiht people the better you'll be11:24
rahtgazif that was so easy, we wouldn't need lubuntu, xubuntu, ubuntu-mate ubuntu-gnome, etc. But you know... it's always easy, until it breaks and you are left on irc channels trying to fix your easy installation. God, I hate easy advice11:24
ikoniaif you want to continue to use this arch is great stuff, do it in another channel11:24
mcphailCan we consider this question closed and move on, without having a debate on packaging philosophy?11:24
ILoveUbuntuYou2ubuntu-gnome-desktop package will be good yes? Is there a way to "switch" from one Ubuntu to another for instance from "Vanilla" to "Kubuntu". Is this the meta package you are refering to?11:24
joeliorahtgaz: those distros *are* the metapackages essentially.. just bundled up11:24
ikoniait's just the desktop11:24
ILoveUbuntuYou2I'm sorry mcphail I'll try to keep my questions more specific and un-opinionated. Frustration is just at a peak. My apologies.11:25

christian_Hi is it advisable to install Xfce 4.12 in Xubuntu 14.04.3?11:25
ikoniachristian_: what do you mean ?11:26
ikoniachristian_: is there a package for xfce 4.12 ?11:26
ILoveUbuntuYou2I'm really refraining from what I want to say, this is another reason I'm so frustrated. Because I want to be that a-hole troll that bashes Ubuntu but it is "good" for the average user who doesn't want to switch out the "underlying" DE.11:26
christian_I saw a tutorial in linuxscoop on how to install the latest stable 4.1211:27
ILoveUbuntuYou2I swear I'm not normally like this :) Just when I start having my Windows PTSD all over again.11:27
ikoniachristian_: I advise you stay clear of that11:27
ikoniachristian_: I advise you to use the packages xubuntu provides for you11:27
christian_ikonia_: would something happen if I install 4.12?11:27
ikoniathere is no promises it would work, be compatible and it certainly wouldn't be supported11:28
ikoniachristian_: use the packages provided by xubuntu11:28

christian_in wine when I installed 16.04 there is something wrong when Im playing AOE3 and NFS MW(2005)11:30

christian_so Im keeping linux kernel 3.19 installed in Xubuntu 14.04.311:31
christian_EriC^^_: Like the latest kernel?11:32
MonkeyDustchristian_  also: .4 is the latest 14.0411:32
EriC^^!mainline | christian_ yes11:32
ubottuchristian_ yes: The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds11:32
christian_MonkeyDust_: Yes but it uses kernel 4.2 from Ubuntu Wily HWE... But still it causes ugly glitches in Wine when I play them said games11:34

HelpMePLZHow install Minimal Ubuntu with OpenBox?11:36
christian_EriC^^_:I would probably install 16.04.1 when it comes out11:37
JustLoveUbuntuOkHows everyone doing today/tonight/this-morning?11:37
EriC^^christian_: these are the mainline kernels http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D11:38
christian_EriC^^_: How do you install them? Are they in a certain repositry that they could be auto updated by the moderator/maintainer?11:39
EriC^^christian_: you download the .deb files and install them using dpkg, they'll remain on the pc and the normal kernels keep getting updated too11:40
EriC^^but you'll be using the one you installed, unless you keep manually updating, personally i'm using 4.6rc6 cause i had suspend issues with 16.04, haven't really upgraded it since the install and it's working good11:41
christian_EriC^^_: And the kernel packages will then get synced with my repos right?11:41
AlphaAndOmegaIs snappy available for desktop?11:42

christian_the probably fix the i965 bug that causes glitches in my wine games11:44
pleaseeheelphow do i do that11:44
EriC^^!nomodeset | pleaseeheelp11:44
ubottupleaseeheelp: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter11:44
pleaseeheelpI tried disabling splash screen11:44
pleaseeheelpbut im still getting it11:44
christian_EriC^^_: thanks sir11:45
EriC^^christian_: no problem11:45
pleaseeheelpEric^^: after booting I choose ubuntu and the screen goes blank/purpleish11:45
EriC^^pleaseeheelp: ubuntu hasn't been installed yet on the pc?11:45
pleaseeheelpEric^^: I've disabled the quiet splash and it still goes to that damn screen11:46
christian_EriC^^_: Thats the only thing stopping me from upgrading from 14.04 to 16.04 is the graphics glitches Im experiencing in wine11:46
pleaseeheelpalthough it shouldnt11:46
EriC^^pleaseeheelp: try adding "nomodeset" instead of quiet splash11:46
EriC^^or try booting into recovery mode from advanced options and troubleshoot from there11:47
tomoguiGreetings everyone. I have a little problem here and wonder if you guys/girls might be able to help me.. I just recently installed ubuntu 16.04 on my laptop. I have a problem connecting with the Wi-Fi. When I try to connect to my network i get prompted to enter the key, but after that nothing happens and it won't connect. Can any of you help me out?11:47
pleaseeheelpEric^^: it has been installed, I was working on that laptop yesterday with no problem, but today after restarting it it doesnt work anyomre11:48
EriC^^pleaseeheelp: it's probably a graphics issue11:49

AlphaAndOmegaAnyone have success using SDDM on Ubuntu?11:49
pleaseeheelpEric^^: I'm not sure I just installed the automatic update stuff11:49
pleaseeheelpEric^^: aside from that I didn't do anything that could have caused that, just some programming11:50
AlphaAndOmegaI haven't tried SDDM yet but I've used it before and liked it11:50
EriC^^christian_: no idea about that11:50
pleaseeheelpEric^^: so should i try this NOMODESET?11:50
EriC^^pleaseeheelp: yeah11:50
EriC^^christian_: newer kernel is worth a shot i guess, it's easy to install and if it doesn't work out just a matter of purging it11:51
AlphaAndOmegaSo are Snappy packages available on Desktop? I like the idea of snaps. Are we switching to them soon and ditching debs or what?11:51
christian_EriC^^_: Ok sir I would try that11:51
MonkeyDust!snappy | AlphaAndOmega11:52
ubottuAlphaAndOmega: Ubuntu Core is a rendition of Ubuntu with transactional updates using "snappy". For discussion and support, please visit #snappy and see http://www.ubuntu.com/snappy/11:52
AlphaAndOmegaAren't snaps kind of like Appliance firmwares where the application is like an "image" that isn't changeable?11:52
k1lAlphaAndOmega: yes, since 16.04 they are available and no, they are not going to remove debs11:52
AlphaAndOmegatransactional updates! thats the words I was looking for.11:52

As part of the dpkg installation the postgres user is created.. however I've ran into issues before when doing similar when not purging all the packages (postgres is a metapackage, so may not have removed postgresql-server etc).

gdev which filesystem should i go for mainly video content and pictures?  (80% ubuntu in use, 20% other, should be able to watch on win7 aswell).  Ext3/4?  I thought of not using NTFS because it slows down on lnx machines16:10
naccgdev: NTFS is a windows filesystem16:10
Fuchsgdev: if both have to read and write: maybe ExFat, recent Ubuntu versions can do that ootb with a userspace driver, Windows newer than XP should be able to do it ootb as well16:11
rypervenchegdev: You can do ext4 and then create a samba mount to access it from Windows.16:11
Fuchsgdev: to access Ext on Windows you'd need an additional driver16:11
Fuchsgdev: in either case: do not use any of these for partitions that are used by linux, such as the / or /home ones16:12
naccgdev: oh you meant the same machine booted to either ubuntu or windows?16:12
gdevno, no boot partition, or fixed mount.   its about videos, pictures, transcoding, and copying/writing files16:12
gdevexfat: can most systems nowaday handle that? mix of ext3 and fat32?16:13

FredTheNoobOhhh i see16:26
naccFredTheNoob: released version of pacakges aren't upgraded (so 16.04 will be 3.18 forever)16:26
FredTheNoobok ok16:27
ikoniaFredTheNoob: do you really need 3.20 ?16:27

mrinali'll check that16:40
MonkeyDustthe ubuntu.com homepage should show 'backup first', in capitals16:40
mrinalcant any expert suggest the remedy here ?16:41

GnomeKrisDoesn't 16.04.1 roll out today?16:43
MonkeyDustGnomeKris  yes, i already have it16:44
compdocmrinal, hdd is sata16:44
compdocyou might mean ssd16:44
GnomeKrisI just checked for it and It's not showing up. I have Long Term Updates option chosen in Software and Updates16:45
mrinalnope, HDD is PATA16:45
MonkeyDustGnomeKris  yes, any moment now, it will be available for you too16:45
compdocno, pata is gone. all hdd are sata now16:45
GnomeKrisSo just keep checking back then. Thanks16:45
mrinalmaybe i'm wrong here16:45
mrinalok, thanx16:45
nullsignanyone an NTP expert?16:45
ioriamrinal, sudo halt -p   works ?16:46
compdocsata faster and better than pata16:46
nullsignneed to know how to define a standard time between synchronizing its system clock with the authoritative time server as “at least hourly”16:46
nullsignwith NTP conf16:46
nullsignalso, need to set a max allowable difference between system clock and authoritative clock16:46
mrinalok, is semiconductor storage better than HDD ?16:47
mrinalif so, how ?16:47
compdocssd is much faster, but moreexpensive and smaller. hdd is still good for large storage16:47
GnomeKrisI personally have one ssd for my OS, and have two HDD's. One for data, one fore steam games16:48
mrinalok, but i'm told that SD storage wastes space16:48
GnomeKrisGuess which has more stuff on it. hahaha16:48
compdocif you get an ssd, install your system on it, and boot from it, you computer will be so much faster it will seem new16:48
mrinalbut eventually, it'll slowdown16:49
mrinalsure, lemme try16:49
compdocmaybe if you fill it so that theres no room left. then it might slow down16:49
mrinalcan we hot swap SD ? i think not16:50

paranoidabhimrinal, what is exactly the problem?17:14
ducasseIce_Strike: 16.04.01 wa released today, so as soon as it hits your mirror you should be prompted if you want to upgrade.17:14

mcphailmrinal: a reinstall can try to keep /home, but always have a backup anyway17:17
mrinalcan i keep /home ??? that'll be great! but how ?17:18
mrinala back-up is simply a copy+ paste operation right ?17:19
DMAmrinal: if it's on a specific partition, you can tell the installer to mount it on /home, if you have it inside the partition where / is mount, gotta make an external backup17:19

mrinali'll do that to another system17:19

aeiro_MisterMom: somehow i think i am not able to select this partition as my home... i am able to select a file system for it, but i am not quite getting it how to continue - https://img3.picload.org/image/rraiwpwr/bildschirmfoto_2016-07-21_18-1.png /dev/sda6 is my home, /dev/sda5 is my root19:12
YankDownUnderCodeMouse92: Chrome - definitely yes - and it's not just "on linux" as it affects Mac OSX as well...oddly enough...19:12
CodeMouse92Weirdness. Okay, I'll put Opera on there :\19:13
CodeMouse92Thank you for the info!19:13
YankDownUnderCodeMouse92: It's worth a "Google" - as you'll find this issue is NOT new, nor is it "isolated"19:13
akikaeiro_: use "benutzen als" and select your file system type19:13
aeiro_akik: although my home is already an ext4?19:14
akikaeiro_: then select ext4 ?19:14
aeiro_akik: this will not damage anything?19:14
akikaeiro_: no, it will just mount the partition at /home. just don't forat it19:14
aeiro_akik: ok, thanks19:17
aeiro_and for bootloader installation i can just use /dev/sda how it is specified by default?19:17
guest-pb5mciHello! My little toddler logged in as guest and I can't log out nor can I reboot nor shutdown. How can I log out in terminal? I'm using lubuntu.19:18
YankDownUnderguest-pb5mci: Try "CTRL+ALT+F1" => login as yourself, then do: sudo reboot19:18
akikaeiro_: on a uefi installation i used the efi partition for boot loader. is that a gpt table?19:19
guest-pb5mciYankDownUnder: Thanks, I'll try that!19:19
aeiro_akik: it is the table of the installation wizard (live dvd)19:20
Karrdeso I'm on 14.04, and do-release-upgrade says 'No new release found' although news sites are saying 16.04.1 is out .. wait moar?19:20
akikaeiro_: if it's for mbr boot then /dev/sda is correct19:20
aeiro_akik: ok, thanks19:20
alkisgKarrde, what's the output of this? grep Prompt /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades19:21
LJHSLDJHSDLJHOerHeks: could you please be more specific what you mean by first and last url? the screenshots are taken from LibreOffice Base, vmplayer and evince ... none of was full screen although they were maximized. I didn't ask about panelbar, I asked about titlebar19:22
Karrdealkisg: Prompt=lts19:22
alkisgKarrde: and your mirror is the global one, or some local one?19:22
ducasseKarrde: wait for the mirror to be updated19:23
Karrdelocal. ok.19:23
elichai2need advice, I want to put google-chrome's cache dir inside /tmp(RAM)19:23
elichai2and if I use mkdir(and Symlink it) it will just get removed after reboot19:24
alkisgelichai2: /tmp isn't in ram, did you put it in ram?19:24
ducasseelichai2: make a wrapper script for chrome that makes the directory before starting it19:25
elichai2`tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,size=2G,mode=1777 0 0`19:25
alkisgOK then maybe just create a wrapper in /usr/local/bin/google-chrome to do what you want, and then exec /usr/bin/google-chrome "$@"...19:25
dr4c4nis anyone familiar with setting up bind for internal dns?19:25
YankDownUnderdr4c4n: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIND9ServerHowto19:26
YankDownUnderdr4c4n: And this is probably even better: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-configure-bind-as-a-private-network-dns-server-on-ubuntu-14-0419:27
dr4c4nYankDownUnder: when you have a pfsense firewall running unbound, is that where you specify the dns to forward it to?19:27
dr4c4nYankDownUnder: ps ,thanks for the references19:27
elichai2I'm thinking about just Symlinking the cache dir into /tmp (with no inside directory)19:28
elichai2ducasse, alkisg19:28
YankDownUnderdr4c4n: Not familiar with pfsense - however, that would appear to be the logical process19:28
alkisgelichai2: TMPDIR=$(mkdir -d); ln -s $TMPDIR .cache/google-chrome etc etc19:28
alkisgmktemp -d, sorry19:29
elichai2alkisg, I didn't understood :\ what does that line does?19:29
dr4c4nYankDownUnder: I'll try the digital ocean one. It's good, but it's part of a 7 part series, and the wealth of information confuses me as to what I should be creating19:29
alkisgelichai2: mktemp -d creates a temp dir for you, with a unique name, so you can use that instead of /tmp directly19:30
YankDownUnderdr4c4n: The entire "series" is worth a read. "Plan the work, work the plan." :)19:30
elichai2so where should I put that line?19:30
elichai2(because i'll need to rerun it every time)19:30
elichai2maybe i'll just add `mkdir /tmp/google-chrome` inside .bashrc19:30
alkisgIn the script that we proposed, (10:25:26 μμ) alkisg: OK then maybe just create a wrapper in /usr/local/bin/google-chrome to do what you want, and then exec /usr/bin/google-chrome "$@"...19:30
dr4c4nYankDownUnder: thanks19:31
ducasseelichai2: or put the script in ~/bin, then you can back it up with the rest of your homedir on reinstalls etc.19:32

jamie_1ducasse: i need it to run vidyo19:46
akikjamie_1: qt apps work under gnome if all the dependencies of the app are satisfied19:47
ducassejamie_1: wait for an updated version that works with 16.0419:47
jamie_1akik: i am running on 3.2 with the wayland instead of x1119:47
jamie_1and ducasse i cant, i need it for a meeting19:47
ducassejamie_1: then find a ppa or build it yourself19:48
jamie_1and for the other two meetings i have every week that i have been using my phone to do which keeps overheating my phone19:48

acidchildI am using fluxbox as my WM. When i click on any application that "opens in filemanager" i.e. owncloud client, etc. it fires up Gnome (unity?) in the background. how do i change the default filemanager or stop this behavior?20:09
alkisgjamie_1: is vidyo a proprietary software? Can't you tell them not to depend on libqt4-gui?20:09
jamie_1alkisg: http://www.vidyo.com/ not really20:10
YankDownUnderacidchild: Would that not be a question best asked in #fluxbox?20:10
acidchildnope YankDownUnder.20:10
alkisgjamie_1: I doubt that they won't want to support ubuntu 16.04... especially when it's something as easy as modifying a dependency20:10
acidchildI'd assume it's a MIME type thing, maybe a dpkg-reconfigure maybe.20:11
alkisgjamie_1: it shouldn't be hard to create a fake package that does that though, if they won't do it for you20:11
YankDownUnderacidchild: It would be MIME, and that might be the resolution to the issue...20:11
alkisgjamie_1: it's just 4 dependencies, like 10 minutes of work to create that...20:11
jamie_1alkisg: for now i might just add the 14.04 sources so i can install qt4-x1120:12
jamie_1also is that is part of x11 or works with x11?20:12
jamie_1alkisg: ^20:13
alkisgjamie_1: I don't know what that package does, I just checked its dependencies. I guess it's the source package where the binaries are compiled from...20:13
bulletxt|2hi, upgrading from10.04 keeps failing, after reading repos it will just abort saying it will restore previous settings. any clues?20:14
naccbulletxt|2: 10.04 ?20:14
bulletxt|2nacc: yea20:14
naccbulletxt|2: 10.04 has been eol for a while now20:14
bulletxt|2nacc:  I put the EOL repos20:14
jamie_1alkisg: was just asking due to i dont use x1120:14
bulletxt|2nacc: it says it can find 12.04 but then just stops and restores previous apt sources20:14
naccbulletxt|2: can you pastebin the output?20:14
bulletxt|2nacc: how can I in screen mode?20:14
nacc!paste | bulletxt|220:15
Ben64bulletxt|2: honestly, at this point it's probably easier to install 16.04 fresh20:15
alkisgjamie_1: if vidyo depends on it, it sounds like it's using x1120:15
alkisgjamie_1: so while you might be using wayland, vidyo will still use x1120:15
bulletxt|2nacc: I mean, the do-release upgrade starts in screen mode and I dont' know how to scroll20:15
jamie_1alkisg: im on gnome3.2 which uses wayland by default now20:15
bulletxt|2Ben64: what if I instll 12.04 without formatting? will that work? will I use the OS users?20:15
TroelsLHey - I'm in a bit of a pickle and wondered what the right (or possibly easiest) way of solving the following is: I'm trying to rsync from an Ubuntu server to my nas for backup. I've setup my usr@ubuntu with passwordless ssh to the nas. However, the stuff I'm trying to back up is not readable by usr as it will be created by various services. How would you solve this?20:15
Ben64bulletxt|2: 12.04 is old now too, 16.04 is what you want20:16
alkisgjamie_1: ok, but of course not all apps support wayland, and vidyo sounds like it still supports only x1120:16
bulletxt|2Ben64: but will it work? or will I use my users in the OS?20:16
jamie_1alkisg: most of everyone doesnt support wayland yet :/20:16
Ben64bulletxt|2: backup, install 16.04, restore user data20:16
alkisgjamie_1: yup, and it's a good reason not to get too excited about defaulting to wayland yet :)20:16
bulletxt|2but I cant stand 10.04 doesnt upgrade to 12.0420:17
bulletxt|2I cant read the erorr its giving cause I cant scroll in "screen" mode, any clue?20:17
naccbulletxt|2: well it probably would have if you had done it when it was still supported :)20:17
Ben6412.04 is still old, you'd have the same problem in 9 months20:17
bulletxt|2I followed the EOL tutorial20:17
jamie_1alkisg: i like wayland, its smooth now and uses a lot less cpu, also i didnt swap it, when i upgraded to gnome 3.2 from gnome 3 it changed everything on its own20:17
nacceolupgrades (to me) are iffy at best20:17
Ben64just install 16.04, you'll save so much efforty20:17
bulletxt|2Ben64: lets fix the current problem, then Ill upgrade 12 too20:17
Ben64how about you install 16.0420:17
bulletxt|2Ben64: no20:17
bulletxt|2its a server its not a toy20:18
Ben64right so stop messing around and get it done20:18
naccit's a toy if you let it go unsupported :)20:18
jamie_1funnily i didnt even notice it was on wayland till i went to run obs20:18
bulletxt|2there are reasons, now I need to upgrade eol and canonical says you can20:18
Ben64any reasons you have aren't worth it20:18
YankDownUnderbulletxt|2: Have you asked in #ubuntu-server yet?20:18
bulletxt|2no I wasnt aware of that channel20:19
bulletxt|2let me check20:19
Ben64you let the server go EOL for 15 months, and just now you're very concerned?20:19
tatertotsnewer isn't always better..especially with servers...track record and stability are priority20:19
bulletxt|2Ben64: you make no sense, that's not an excuse for eol not working while canonical says it does20:19
Ben64you didn't keep it running properly, and now you're way behind. jump up to 16.04, learn from this, and keep things working20:19
tatertots16.04's track record is how long now?20:19
bulletxt|2he makes no sense20:20
Ben64you let the server go unsupported for 15 months, you don't make sense20:20
tatertotsbleeding edge is great for desktop/toys but servers/enterprise not so much20:20
naccbulletxt|2: this is not a canonical channel, btw20:20
Ben64tatertots: 16.04 is hardly bleeding edge20:20
jatt16.04 is production ready20:20
naccbulletxt|2: so not sure what you're referring to20:20
tatertotsfor servers a products track record is key...keyword being 'record'20:20
Ben64tatertots: you have no idea what you're talking about20:21
nacctatertots: i feel like that's neither here nor there20:21
RNevilleHello everyone, just used Clonezilla to make an image of my harddrive onto a second installed HD20:21
tatertotsat least ask if a person might be a amd proprietary driver user before quickly nudging them to 16.0420:21
YankDownUnder"In a perfect world" - one would assume it's best to have a server "auto update"...but "perfect world" does not really happen in real life...hmm...20:22
alkisg(1) He should have upgraded before going EOL. (2) do-release-upgrade should still work and if it doesn't it's a bug that needs fixing. Why can't you agree that both of those can be true?20:22
Ben64tatertots: it's a server20:22
jane_I need help with ubuntu desktop 16.0420:22
jane_anyone on?20:22
Ben64jane_: ask your question, providing as much detail as possible20:22
YankDownUnderjane_: Shoot20:22
RNevillerunning Ubuntu 14.02 , and now I can get my primary boot drive to boot up - grub wants to boot secondary drive (that's an imagine of primary) no matter what I tell bios boot loader to do20:22
nacctatertots: anyone who installs a new version without reading the release notes is already asking for trouble ...20:22
jane_I want to host a public website on ubuntu desktop on my home computer (I will only use it as my hosting) but I am not sure if it'll be secure, what are your thoughts?20:23
circ-user-alwPEhi: i have a pretty solid ubuntu 16.04 host, and i run ubuntu 16.04 guests using the latest virtualbox .  but i have a few issues which i think are down to my graphics card.  should i expect problems with a radeon hd 4650 (rv730 pro) ?20:23
bulletxt|2anyways, does some know how to scroll a "screen" window?20:23
alkisgbulletxt|2: I've seen do-release-upgrade fail numerous times, and in some of them I ended up manually updating the sources to the last version, and just running apt dist-upgrade.20:23
rudysbbqi'm on ubuntu 16, is there a way to disable the minimize animation effect on metacity?20:23
TroelsLI can ask my question another way: Why will 'ssh rsync@nas' not prompt for password, but 'sudo rsync@nas' will.20:23
YankDownUnderjane_: Dynamic DNS...?20:23
naccTroelsL: ssh and sudo are completely different commands20:24
bulletxt|2alkisg: you mean i should put 12.04 repos in my 10.04 and do apt-get dist upgrade^20:24
TroelsLnacc: Ahem. 'sudo ssh rsync@nas'20:24
Ben64bulletxt|2: make sure you backup so if/when that breaks your system you can install 16.0420:24
jane_I'm going to be making the domain go to CloudFlare which will go to my IP and use portforward to allow it to work on ubuntu desktop, will this be secure?20:24
Ben64TroelsL: why would you sudo ssh?20:24
SmilerutHi. When I was unpacking some archives with Ark and when I tried to unpack the next one I got an error saying "failed to locate program unrar on disk". Can anyone help me?20:24
naccTroelsL: is the 'sudo ssh rsync@nas' asking for your local user's password (meaning it's sudo asking for a password not ssh)?20:24
Smilerutthis happens with every archive now20:24
Ben64Smilerut: sudo apt-get install unrar20:25
alkisgbulletxt|2: first, backup everything. Then, if it completely fails, I would try directly with 16.04, not 12.04 => 14.04 => 16.04.... so that I don't have to do the same manual fixes 3 times. If it doesn't work, restore the backup and try to get do-release-upgrade fixed.20:25
SmilerutBen64: ok, but, why did it work but then stop working?20:25
Ben64Smilerut: who knows20:25
circ-user-alwPEwhat is a recommended, cheap but well support graphics card for occasional video playback and virtualbox use?20:25
TroelsLBen64, nacc: I'm using rsync for backup. Added authorized_keys to nas to avoid password prompt. But I need elevated permissions locally to be able to read the files I'm rsyncing. (unless there's a better way)20:25
TroelsLThe goal is to setup a cron job to rsync daily20:26
alkisgTroelsL: ssh-copy-id copies the user id to the server, so that ssh doesn't ask for a pass. "sudo ssh-copy-id" would copy the root ssh id, if you had one, so that then "sudo ssh" would work without pass.20:26
YankDownUnderjane_: Are you using or planning to use dynamic dns for this?20:26
alkisgTroelsL: you can use `crontab -e` to create per-user cron jobs20:26
SmilerutBen64: it works now, anyway. Thanks!20:27
akikTroelsL: you need the higher permissions on the source side20:27
bulletxt|2alkisg: if I install 16.04 on top it will desroy all my settings , users etc20:28
jane_do I have to use that??20:28
Ben64bulletxt|2: so can upgrading20:28
akikTroelsL: so maybe "sudo rsync -e ssh ..."20:28
bulletxt|2Ben64: you have no idea of how many ubuntu I upgraded with 0 problems20:28
alkisgbulletxt|2: I usually boot with the live cd, then move * to srv/10.04, then install 16.04, then put back /srv/10.04/home to /home, so that user settings are preserved. For user accounts, I have a tool that migrates them, but sorry it's greek-only.20:29
tatertotshow would i go about getting a older version of smbd on my 16.04 system?....it has smbd version 4.3.9-Ubuntu right now and i need smbd 4.220:29
Ben64bulletxt|2: well good luck then20:29
TroelsLalkisg: already did sudo ssh-copy-id (all keys skipped because they exist). It tries to copy my local users keys again, not the ones in /root/.ssh20:29
nacctatertots: no official way20:29
YankDownUnderjane_: I'm asking you if that's what was part of the plan - either which, if you want to host a website on your machine (local), you'll have to install Apache - as a base...and then you'll have to figure out the rest for DNS (Domain Name Services) - so that your "dns" can be found on the net - does that make sense?20:29
alkisgTroelsL: try: sudo -i. Then, ssh-copy-id etc.20:29
tatertotshttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/LikewiseOpen requires smbd version 4.2 and not a version higher20:30

nacctatertots: well, that page is horribly out of date and only applies to precise (afaict)20:33
YankDownUnderjane_: Read up on the Apache installation and configuration - that will be a huge help...and then read up on "UFW" - easy.20:33

jane_Alright thank you that is all I needed to know.. :)20:33
jane_have a good day!20:33
YankDownUnderjane_: Cheers.20:33

hanjollyinfoanyone knows the units of the installed size apt-cache show pkg ?20:34
hanjollyinfonacc, know the units?20:34

OerHeksjane_, don't hang it on the internet :-)20:36
jane_So it's more secure than xampp and don't have many exploits??20:36
ducassejane_: you can run your lamp stack in a vm or container to isolate it further from your host.20:36
tatertotsif there's no 'official' way to get smbd 4.2 on 16.04 so the ubuntu 16.04 can have the full functionality of PBIS and samba looks like i'm better off with Ubuntu 12.04 or 14.04...wait ooops that 14.04 has too new of a version of smbd also....looks like 12.04  would be the only applicable ubuntu version for the corporate domain and PBIS20:36
hanjollyinfomy ubuntu 16.04 keeps on freezing and did so 4 times today,even though i have new install,on desktop i have 64bit,20:36
nacctatertots: it would appear you should ask PBIS about that, afaict20:37
jane_ducasse: I have a desktop computer that I do not use that I want it as just a hosting server, which is why I was asking if lamp is secure so I can switch to ubuntu from windows20:37
ArexHow to add Xorg to autorun?20:37
tatertotsalready did..they suggest 12.04 also20:37
nacctatertots: ... ok, sounds like you have an answer; hopefully they come up with a better one w/in the next 9 months.20:38
hanjollyinfoshall i use apt upgrade or apt-get upgrade? apt shows in brown color and i am confused whats the difference , and which is better for me? ncc20:38
nacchanjollyinfo: `apt` is the newer tool, generally recommended now over `apt-get`20:38
ducassejane_: if you use php scripts, for example, those scripts need to be secure also. apache itself is pretty secure, anything you add is the big risk.20:38
=== cigumo_ is now known as cigumo
jane_Yes I am aware of that, however, last time I got hacked, xampp had an exploit where they could view the files and mess with them, which is why I want to be 100% sure that lamp is secure by default and do not have a huge exploit like that.20:39
Bassemhow can i install java20:39
hanjollyinfook nacc,so i guess i will use that20:39
alkisgArex: provide more details, how did you end up with xorg not running? Did you start with the server installation?20:40
hanjollyinfoapt install javac Bassem its there in the askubuntu20:40
ducassejane_: when security holes are found they are typically fixed right away. just keep it updated.20:40
jane_Okay thank you :) I will try it and hopefully won't get hacked again..20:40
jane_I suggest to everyone here not to use xampp if you are right now..20:41
Bassemhanjollyinfo, E: Unable to locate package javac20:41
jane_have a good day!20:41
Arexalkisg, just how to do it please?20:41
ducassejane_: but there is _always_ the chance of unknown holes. the best you can do is update every day.20:41
ducassejane_: good luck! :)20:41
ducasseArex: you need to answer the questions you are asked.20:42
ArexHow to add Xorg to autorun?20:42
alkisgArex: the question by itself doesn't make sense, when a desktop environment is installed, xorg autostarts, so you'll have to provide more info for us to understand what is wrong with your setup20:42
OerHeksmagkneetoe, if you don't encrypt it, technically yes ( after a few commands)20:42
asgharpolohi , i am using ubuntu 16.04 , when i connect to intenet my system goes down and i cant do anything. but when i am disconnect every things goes well. i didnt have this problem in ubuntu 14.04. what is the problem of ubuntu 16.04?20:43
hanjollyinfoBassem, if i were you i would simply search ubuntu site,and am sure internet search answers all20:43
ducasseArex: how did you install?20:43
alkisgBassem: http://tecadmin.net/install-oracle-java-8-jdk-8-ubuntu-via-ppa/# ==> the 3 commands there20:43
Arexalkisg, only xorg20:43
hanjollyinfoBassem, let me search that for you and tell you20:43
Arexalkisg, no wm and de20:43
magkneetoeOerHeks: so i can not click through folders instead of thru terminal?20:43
bunjeeisn't Guayadeque music player available in Kubuntu?20:43
Arexalkisg, minimal iso20:43
Bassemalkisg, thanks20:43
hanjollyinfoBassem, u need java compiler ? or javajdk-jre,plugins20:44
OerHeksmagkneetoe, i think the 2md install has its own partition, those can be visible in your filemanager i think20:44
alkisgArex: what do you want xorg to show when you start it? that's what window managers + DEs are for... those would create /etc/X11/default-display-manager for xorg to start with it...20:44
Bassemhanjollyinfo,  i get this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/20356601/20:44
Arexalkisg, and what config?20:45
Bassemhanjollyinfo, i guess it will be javajdk-jre,plugins20:45
ducasseArex: if you want x to start automatically on boot, install a display manager.20:45
ArexI want Xorg only20:45
alkisgArex: xorg with what? a terminal? a browser? There's no point in plain xorg with a mouse...20:46
hanjollyinfobassem java-gcj-compat-headless20:46
hanjollyinfono that's compiler20:46
hanjollyinfoyep https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java20:46
Arexalkisg, apps20:46
hanjollyinfothat has java20:46
alkisgArex: there are DMs that allow you to run what you want, e.g. "nodm", while taking care of launching xorg and your app20:46
hanjollyinfobut it is horrible idea to install java from a security perspective.20:47
ducasseArex: you use a display manager to start x automatically, otherwise you need to log in on a terminal.20:47
alkisgArex: I don't think you understand what you're asking20:47
Bassemhanjollyinfo, is it compiler or plugin?20:47
hanjollyinfoBassem, why would u want to install java? it makes your PC  less secure20:47
Bassembecause when i try to install xdman i get this errors Package default-jre is not installed.20:48
Bassem  Package sun-java6-jre is not installed.20:48
Bassem  Package sun-java7-jre is not installed.20:48

Arexalkisg, not I enter in login and enter command: startx20:48
Arexalkisg, an I want auto all it20:48
Arexalkisg, now20:48
alkisgArex: what do you see when you run startx? gnome? a terminal? a script of yours?20:48
ducasseArex: then you need a dm.20:48
hanjollyinfoapt install openjdk-9-jre bassem20:48
nacchanjollyinfo: no, that's bad advice20:49
naccBassem: use openjdk-820:49
Arexalkisg, xinitrc config20:49
naccBassem: openjdk-9 is not yet ready, afaik20:49
Bassem8 or 9?20:49
hanjollyinfouse 820:49
Arexalkisg, DISPLAY=:0 xterm20:49
Bassemnacc, sudo apt install openjdk-820:49
naccBassem: i don't know what you are needing, it soundsl ike you just need a JRE20:49
naccBassem: so openjdk-8-jre20:50
alkisgArex: install "nodm", this can do what you want, if I understood you correctly20:50
hanjollyinfowhy are both 8 and 9 given in the distro? thats crazy20:50
naccBassem: but i can't tell from your ouptut20:50
ducasseArex: are you trying to use x without a wm?20:50
alkisgArex: it allows you to launch xorg and run your own xinitrc inside it20:50
Arexalkisg, I need just rn script on boot20:51
Arexstartx and only20:51
alkisgArex: yes, that's what nodm is for20:51
Arexalkisg, and in default?20:52
alkisgWhat default?20:52
Arexalkisg, witout add soft20:52
alkisgI don't understand. Ask again with more words.20:52
Arexalkisg, without additional soft20:53
hanjollyinfonacc how can i enlarge tty fonts using the tty??20:53
ducasseArex: don't you listen to what people tell you?20:53
hanjollyinfousing the command line? nacc20:53
Arexalkisg, hot to just run any script on boot?20:53
hanjollyinfoor anyone knows how to change the tty fonts?20:53
ducassehanjollyinfo: install the console font you want, and run dpkg-reconfigure console-setup20:54
alkisgArex: you can put a script in /etc/rc.local, but it's the wrong way to do it, the correct is to use a minimal dm like nodm.20:54
ducasseArex: any script you put in rc.local will run as root, don't do that.20:55
Arexany user?20:55
ducasseArex: listen to what you're being told and just use nodm, that is the right way.20:56
ArexAnd tomcat?20:56
ducassewhat about it?20:57
_adbhello. i'm trying to mount an nfs drive with the -o intr option, but according to the manpage (http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man5/nfs.5.html), this option has been deprecated. is there a recommended alternative?20:57
Arexno need20:57
kittykittyanyone know why i cant upgrade to 16.04.1 through the update manager yet? Its out now so it should be on right?20:57
xanguakittykitty: what release?20:58
ducasseArex: 'no need' what? please use full sentences.20:58
kittykittyxangua, im on 14.04 right now20:58
ducassekittykitty: your mirror might not have it yet.20:58
kittykittyducasse, should i use the main server?20:58
_adbdo newer kernels (than 2.6.25) not suffer from hanging issues that older systems could, removing the need for interruptible nfs operations?20:59
ducassekittykitty: why not just wait a few hours?20:59
Arexalkisg, I installed nodm20:59
Arexalkisg, what now?20:59
kittykittyducasse, i have work to do tomorrow so ill not be able to do it for like, 4 days ahaha20:59
kittykittyjust seems a bit weird20:59
ducassekittykitty: then use a mirror that has been updated.21:00
kittykittyducasse, checking with the main server now21:00
kittykittytried it 5 hours ago or something and it wasnt up so idk21:00
ducassekittykitty: it's not weird that mirrors are not instantly updated, they're usually updated every 24 hours21:01
Arexalkisg, and I not want systemd21:01
alkisgArex: now you need to configure it, I think its configuration file is in /etc/default/nodm21:02
alkisgGoogle it if it's not there, it shouldn't be hard, it's just a text file21:02
bulletxt|2Ben64: you see, I finally found where do-release upgrade stores logs21:03

Arexalkisg, any alternatives?21:05
alkisgArex: I don't even know why you're asking for alternatives, so I wouldn't know what else to propose21:06
ducasseArex: alternative to what?21:06

sazakanI need some help about ubuntu 16.04. DOes anyone help me?21:08
Arexalkisg, and Xsession need configure it?21:08

Arexalkisg, so need chanhe patch to t?21:09
alkisgArex: editing a file is not called "patch"21:09
alkisgYou just need to put your user name there so that nodm knows which user to launch xorg with21:10

SquabblerCan someone help me figure out why I'm receiving invalid permissions when trying to use a symlink from /var/www/html to /home/dev to usb/dev ?21:12
ducasseSquabbler: you can't symlink cross-device.21:12
meetducasse, ditto allows me to set up a shortcut key, which popups up the recently copied items list, allows me to search those entries instantly, and pastes the entry on pressing enter.21:13
Arexalkisg, I not see .xsession in home21:13
ducassemeet: then try clipit :)21:13
Squabbler@ducasse: So it works when navigating folders, but apache can't?21:14
meetducasse, thanks :). btw it seems on sourceforge that it hasn't been updated since 2013. should that be a subject of concern?21:14
ducassemeet: some programs don't really need updates, but there are others - like parcellite. install from the repos, not from sourceforge.21:16
GuidovanPossumhi waiting for the 14.04 -> 16.04 update today and the suspense is building, is it still on, anyone know a time?21:16
ducasseSquabbler: i think i'm misunderstanding you, what are you trying to achieve?21:17
Arexalkisg, !?!?!?21:17
ducasseGuidovanPossum: wait for your mirror to be updated.21:17
ducasseArex: create it.21:17
Arexducasse, and what into it?21:17
ducasseArex: whatever you want your x session to start.21:18
Arexducasse, and xinitrc?21:18
Squabbler@ducasse: okay, so apache looks at /var/www/html, which has a symlink to /home/dev/projects, which has a symlink to /usb-drive/dev/projects. In the browser it works from html dir to home dev dir (as expected). But I receive a 403 in the browser when I add the symlink to the usb21:19
ducasseArex: if you have .xinitrc i don't think you would need .xsession21:19
SquabblerEssentially, I would rather host my projects on external usb drive, instead of home folder.21:19
nibblynHi! HDMI secondary display output not working (no signal) after fresh install of UbuntuMate 16.04 with nvidia driver. Works with the very same hardware, driver and x version under 12.04. Nouveau working properly. Any suggestion please?21:19
SquabblerBut localhost throws a 40321:19
Bassemhow can i clean my ubuntu?21:20
ducasseSquabbler: odd, but symlinks are not supposed to work cross-device.21:20
Bassemfrom any unnecessary files or packages21:21
Squabbler@ducasse: That's interesting because the symlink inside of /home/dev when opened *will* open /usb-drive/dev/projects - but apache throws 403 in browser21:21
rattkingI think symlinks can cross devices its hard links that can not.21:21
Arexalkisg, ? :(21:21
ducasserattking: you may be right. sorry.21:21
ducasseBassem: by doing it manually and understanding exactly what you are doing.21:22
Bassemducasse, i'm new to ubuntu21:22
ducasseBassem: then you shouldn't try.21:23
Bassemducasse, wont that take big space of my harddisk21:23
ducasseBassem: you are likely to just break something. clean stuff in your homedir and data drives, the system takes care of itself.21:24
_adbBassem: sory, don't think i understand. do you mean removing old cached versions of packages that havesince been upgraded, or removing unnecessary packages that came with the system?21:24

Arexducasse, what there?21:29
ducasseArex: just read it.21:29
Arexducasse, i readed21:30
naccCarlFK: how did you put a 4.4 kernel in wily?21:30
ducasseArex: then do what it says. you need to configure nodm properly, that page explains how.21:30
urand0mhow do i get php7 in the ubuntu repos?21:30
naccurand0m: it's in 16.04 (just install php)21:31
Arexducasse, yes?21:31
Arexducasse, I see there Arch21:31
Arexducasse, I configured /etc/default/nodm21:31
CarlFKnacc: I have no idea... other than run a few scripts that I wrote that do apt-get update things, but I assure you I didn't do nuthing with kernel stuff21:31
urand0mnacc, im running ..21:32
naccCarlFK: well, there's no 4.4 kernel pacakge in wily ...21:32
naccCarlFK: how did you "install wily" ?21:32
Arexducasse, I after that I configured /home/user/.xsession21:32
naccurand0m: you'd have to use a ppa to do so, which is unsupported here (but you can read)21:32
nacc!ppa | urand0m21:32
Amm0naryan, do you have a switch between host and target? If your NIC doesn't support Auto-MDI-X you propably need a crosscable.21:33
CarlFKnacc: I picked this option from my PXE installer https://github.com/CarlFK/veyepar/blob/master/setup/nodes/pxe/shaz/var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default#L59 ubuntu-wily-amd64-handsoff21:33
urand0mnacc, can you help me find the official ppa?21:33
CarlFKnacc: note.. the late.sh in my repo is behind what is on my live box here... but I am not doing anything 'funny'21:34
Arexducasse, and?21:34
OerHeksurand0m, there is no *official* ppa for php7, but ondrej is the most used one https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/ubuntu/php?field.series_filter=trusty21:35
naccCarlFK: can you pastebin `uname -a`? and `apt-cache policy linux-image-generic` ?21:35
naccurand0m: ppas are by definition unofficial :)21:35
ducasseArex: the arch wiki page i showed you tells you everything you need to do. configure nodm, and start your wm from .xinitrc21:35
aryan<aryan> but when I plug the ethernet to the router, the NIC in my target PC glows in the boot too21:36
aryan<aryan> anyone here for helping a PXE booting ?21:36
Arexducasse, need start systemd?21:36
CarlFKnacc: http://paste.ubuntu.com/20365445/21:37
ducasseArex: if nodm uses a systemd unit, then yes.21:37
naccCarlFK: it looks like you booted to a xenial kernel21:37
naccCarlFK: dunno how you did that21:37
Arexducasse, just I not want systemd21:37
pnwiseHow do you install that arm iso from the website?21:38
naccCarlFK: pastebin `ls -ahl /boot/` ?21:38
pnwiseI am trying to install ubuntu on rpi 221:38
OerHeksArex, then don't use 16.0421:38
ducasseArex: then you should not be running ubuntu.21:38
urand0mnacc, OerHeks should i just compile it from source?21:38
CarlFKnacc: I have a hunch.  ... this box has some sort of raid .. the installer didn't install grub right, so I booted a xenial rescue, fixed grub...21:38
naccurand0m: no, that's a terrible idea21:38
naccCarlFK: ah... could be21:38
urand0mnacc, how come?21:38
Arexducasse, no no work21:39
CarlFKnacc: so I guess I just need to whack some grub.conf.. um.. where is it at now?21:39
naccurand0m: 1) compiling php properly is a pain; 2) you'd have to make sure you stay up to do with security fixes, etc.21:39
Squabblerducasse & rattking: I finally figured it out. I had to set my /media/username folder chmod to 75521:39
naccCarlFK: /boot/grub/grub.cfg ?21:39
ducasseArex: what 'no work'?21:39
urand0mnacc, so in other words only do it if i truly know what i am doing21:39
Arexducasse, no autorun21:39
naccurand0m: yes, and accept that it's not supported by ubuntu (you're on your own)21:39
Arexducasse, ask login password an no run xorg21:40
urand0mnacc, i also plan on using nginx and maria db21:40
ducasseArex: most likely because you don't run systemd.21:40
CarlFKnacc: # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE .. # from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub ... i'll poke around, it should be obvious...21:40
OerHeksurand0m, use a ppa or switch to 16.04 with standard php721:40
naccurand0m: not sure why you told me that?, but as OerHeks says21:40
Arexducasse, I enabled it21:40
urand0mi already have nginx installed .. should install them in any particular order? should i install php7 before mariadb or vice versa?21:40
Arexducasse, and reboot21:40
urand0mOerHeks, is there a way to upgrade my distro through the shell with out breaking anything. i dont have physical access i only have shell access21:41
ducasseArex: then something is wrong with your configuration.21:41
Arexducasse, or with Ubuntu21:43
OerHeksurand0m, if it is not a heavily tweaked VPS, or VPN, you can, but no guarantees given, and only remote access is your problem21:43
urand0mOerHeks, https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-upgrade-to-php-7-on-ubuntu-14-04 will this work? (digital ocean is not my host)21:45
OerHeksurand0m, then i cannot answer that, i gave you a ppa that is common used.21:47
ducasseurand0m: if your vps provider is any good, they have some form of console access if you break things.21:47

_adb_bp: try running apt-get update. if it 404s, then check your /etc/apt/sources.list21:53
Bassemducasse, like xdman and flashgot ll21:53
_adb_bp: if apt-get update does not fail, then try your install again21:53
OerHeks_bp, libc6_2.23-0ubuntu3_i386.deb  and libc6_2.23-1ubuntu1_i386.deb are current, run updates first??21:54
ducasseBassem: then you need to update manually, that is why you should use software from the repos.21:54
SpaceButlerI don't know if there is a schedule to update that file or not21:54
CarlFKnacc: thanks for the help - booted into 4.2, all is well.   I'll try to ignore the 4.4 thing for now21:54
urand0mOerHeks, i see it now, sorry my colors are not so good. this is the ppa you sent? https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/ubuntu/php?field.series_filter=trusty21:54
OerHeksurand0m, yes.21:54
Bassemducasse, but those software are not in repos21:55
ducasseBassem: then you must update yourself.21:55
Bassemducasse, i need to remove and reinstall them or just reinstall?21:57
Arexducasse, ?21:57
urand0msomeone highlight me im trying to make it so i can see21:57
ducasseArex: what are you trying to achieve here? why no wm?21:58
minimecurand0m: ping...21:58
Arexducasse, need run app in display on fullscreen21:58
_bpOerHeks: okay, so I have downloaded and installed the -ubuntu3 package manually, so that's kind of an awkward example for me21:58
Arexducasse, 2 apps and 2 displays21:58
urand0mokay i think it stands out now21:59
negevSpaceButler: the files are all there, so i've just hacked my own updated file together to kick it off :P21:59
ducasseArex: they can still run fullscreen if you have a wm.21:59
urand0mthank you21:59
_bpaptitude and apt swear that I should be able to install notify-osd version 0.9.35+16.04.20160413-0ubuntu121:59
Arexducasse, no need wm21:59
_bpin replacement of what I have installed, 0.9.35+16.04.20151201-0ubuntu121:59
OerHeks_bp, that is not how i told you to, just updating would get the new lists and should fix all21:59
_bpOerHeks: what I'm telling you is that it is not fixing all :)22:00
SpaceButlernegev, i was thinking about doing that, but i'm a bit worried.  hopefully they'll just update the official file soon22:00
_bpoutput of apt update - http://paste.ubuntu.com/20368428/22:00
ducasseArex: then start them from .xinitrc.22:00
Arexducasse, I know but how?22:00
Arexducasse, all displays for me is 0?22:01
negevfuck it, live on the edge :D22:01
ducasseArex: you need a wm to position an application.22:01

Arexducasse, I need FULLSCREEN ONLY22:01

ArexAny help please22:05
_bpdpkg could upgrade to 1.18.4ubuntu1.1 but then it also needs ufw newer than 0.35-0ubuntu2~22:05

OerHeks_bp again, i see http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/u/ufw/ufw_0.35-0ubuntu2_all.deb ... i think you need to run your updates, and all will be fine.  still you *have* enabled proposed, if that update log was real., and proposed can break things...22:10
urand0mArex, you do not want to install a desktop environment?22:10

minimecArex: You are not really helping us... To position your software on your two screens, you need a window manager. I don't even know if nodm is capable of handling two monitors well... And you tell us that you ar an 'ubuntu noob', but you seem resistant to any suggestions and help... ;)22:23

ArexAny help plz22:24
minimecArex: I would probably install a light window manager, my preference would be e17. There you can configure everything. Then I would place these programs where I want them, even in fullscreen and set them sticky, fullscreen and prevent them from closing. I would also be able to save these settings and start them on session login (autologin).22:26
SpaceButlerenlightenment is considered a 'light' window manager now? :-D22:27
minimecArex: So my advise would be... 'sudo apt install e17' first... and then start to configure according to my needs. That's my advice to you.22:27
Arexminimec, I want Xorg22:27
SpaceButlerxorg is a x server, that's different from a window manager22:28
ArexCan I autorun 2 dispays?22:28
SpaceButleri don't know what you mean by autorun22:28
OerHekswith 2 displays, you need a DM AFAIK22:28
minimecSpaceButler: It is. I run that on a Toshiba ac100 and it maybe takes 50mb with a fully loaded and configured session with synapse launcher loaded and so on.22:29
OerHeksArex, just use a WM, like a normal setup22:29
ArexI have nodm22:29
OerHekscan nodm handle 2 displays??22:29
SpaceButlerminimec, i believe you, it's just funny from a historical perspective22:29
minimecArex: If you installed the xserver you run Xorg. Until know Xorg is default for all the window managers.22:29

orlockryan441: None of the components of the LAMP stack should interfere with your IP networking22:45
ryan441It's apache that is causing it.22:45
orlockryan441: which is why i'm asking how, specifically are you installing the components22:45
orlockHow do you know?22:45
ryan441I just did sudo apt-get install lamp-server^22:45
Zganhello any one know how to run the wifi on ubuntu server22:45
ryan441Because I did a fresh ubuntu install and it worked fine, then I installed apache and it started it.22:45
orlockyou mean you installed lamp-server? or apache?22:46
orlockthats the "a" theres also the "m" and the "p"22:46
orlocknone of which are likely to do that22:46
ryan441I installed apache first a while ago and it caused it, so I did a fresh install and tried lamp-server and it still caused it22:46
ryan441well it's causing it for me?22:46
ryan441It did this multiple times now and it only does it after I install apache or something that installs apache.22:47
ryan441it says right now that the wifi is connected but no internet is working, if I disconnect and reconnect, it works for 5 minutes and stops again22:47

orlockok, sounds like your wireless is screwing up for some reason, everything appears correctl, unsure of how to debug, and there is no way that apache should be causing those issues23:03
orlockbut you could always stop apache and see if it makes a difference23:03

Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa.23:56
