[17:41] <ponyrider> LordLupus: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/ftp-server.html
[17:41] <nacc> LordLupus: take a step back and thing. Do you know and trust everyone in this channel? If not, you should not blindly give out access to your machine.
[17:41] <nacc> s/thing/think
[17:41] <LordLupus> Okay, let me to take a look.
[17:42] <ponyrider> its comedy central on this channel
[17:42] <ponyrider> python 5.. ip address user/pass posting
[17:42] <LordLupus> It's just an Ubuntu Server in VirtualBox :).
[17:42] <LordLupus> Yes, I configured it using the server guide, but without results.
[17:42] <hiro`> Hey, I'm doing a reinstall of my system after it got into a bit of a state and I wondering if there's a good way to check if software is suitable for my machine (running xenial). E.g., the slack desktop client says that it's suitable for "ubuntu", but is it okay to install or should I be worried about it installing the wrong version of dependencies?
[17:42] <tgm4883> LordLupus: step 1, don't use FTP
[17:42] <sneex> @nacc  Im sorry, I almost have it -- the ssh works, and the local tar works but the data isn't showing on the remote - it justs pokes out on the terminal :(  I'll figure it out -- Thanks for letting me know that 'tar' should be able to do this :)
[17:43] <frozenrouter> hiro`: common software that provides a .deb package is normally fine to just install
[17:44] <hiro`> frozenrouter: so I don't need to worry about it explicitly targeting my version?
[17:44] <nacc> hiro`: only install packages for xenial (16.04)
[17:44] <hiro`> nacc: how do I check?
[17:45] <nacc> hiro`: presumably the vendor you are getting the package from will say
[17:45] <sneex> @nacc Im going to play with the syntax from http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/9892/create-a-local-compressed-tarball-from-remote-host-directory  and see what rabbit hole that leads me  :)  lol  Anyways you guys have funsies ;)
[17:45] <nacc> sneex: good luck
[17:45] <frozenrouter> hiro`: I have had no problems with installing .deb packages on any systems, since it interacts with package management to ensure dependencies are met. If there is a 16.04 specific package/version, use that
[17:46] <hiro`> nacc: for e.g., in the case of slack, I don't think it does. perhaps I'm missing something obvious, though: https://slack.com/downloads/instructions/ubuntu
[17:46] <hiro`> It just says "ubuntu"
[17:46] <nacc> hiro`: you're right and maybe they are good at maintaining compatbility across all versions
[17:47] <nacc> hiro`: i have no idea, and for support you should ask slack
[17:49] <frozenrouter> hiro`: I think that, based on my previous experience with .deb packages, any problems will probably be caught, and dependencies have usually been sorted by the software centre
[17:50] <hiro`> frozenrouter: cool, I will take your advice and install
[17:51] <hiro`> is there a good article for ubuntu that explains "here's what to do if you don't want your system to break"?
[17:51] <nacc> hiro`: don't use third-party applications is probably a reasonable start :)
[17:52] <nacc> hiro`: but no, i don't think any such thing exists
[17:52] <hiro`> shame. it feels pretty mysterious at times!
[17:52] <ouroumov> Actually there's an easy way. If you've got the RAM: install a duplicate of your system in a VM, and set a snapshot point.
[17:53] <frozenrouter> hiro`: I don't know of any articles, but making a backup is usually the simplest way to make sure that the system can be set to a working state.
[17:53] <ouroumov> Then, don't ever do stuff on the host, untill you've verified it doesn't break your VM.
[17:53] <nacc> ouroumov: ah yes, that's a good point
[17:53] <nacc> ouroumov: i interpreted their question slightly differently
[17:53] <ouroumov> Well, my solution is not exactly user friendly either
[17:54] <nacc> ouroumov: yeah :)
[17:54] <frozenrouter> hiro`: You could set up a blank ubuntu vm and try installing the package to make sure that it does not break anything if a backup is not easy.
[17:54] <hiro`> unfortunately, there's probably not enough time in the day to do that.
[17:55] <hiro`> what about installing PPAs. Is this considered acceptable or the road to madness and pain?
[17:55] <nacc> hiro`: PPAs are not supported officially
[17:55] <hiro`> so, the latter, in other words?
[17:55] <frozenrouter> hiro`: If I remember right, I have set up LUbuntu VMs in as little as 15 minutes
[17:56] <nacc> hiro`: and have (generally) no security model, meaning the owner is under no obligation to fix issues
[17:58] <frozenrouter> hiro`: In other words, if you consider the maintainer and package trustworthy, and are willing and able to look after the system yourself if needed, PPAs can be an option, otherwise try to avoid them.
[17:58] <nacc> hiro`: the underlying thing to consider is you're technically giving PPA owners root on your machine
[17:59] <hiro`> hmm, pity
[17:59] <nacc> hiro`: how comfortable you are with that is up to you :)
[17:59] <hiro`> I might try setting up something in docker to test-drive a few packages
[18:00]  * nacc would argue lxd would be faster than docker for testing, but also doesn't use docker at all
[18:02] <pavlos> sneex, can you repost the command?
[18:04] <omenius> hey, is there some cli software for testing cat cables? I have a cable that is trying to achieve some kind of metamorphosis, but seems to still work
[18:06] <acheron-a> that was a cool nick
[18:06] <acheron-a> Buxtehude
[18:09] <sneex> @nacc A modified version of tar  cvf  -  data/notes | rsh  <IP_ADDRESS>  -l  remuser  "cd /archives/archive2;tar xvf -;" -- but with ssh
[18:09]  * sneex anyways time to go eat so I'll see you guys later
[18:10] <pavlos> sneex, how about ... tar cpf - /some/important/data | ssh user@destination-machine "tar xpf - -C /some/directory/"
[18:10] <sneex> @pavlos -- when I get back and the command finishes I will but we are talking about a terabyte of data :P  lol  sorry
[18:11] <pavlos> sneex, test with a few bytes first
[18:17]  * sneex me and testing = live and death :P
[18:17]  * sneex be back soon
[18:21] <pavlos> sneex, consider -j flag for bzip2 compression
[18:26] <comply> hi
[18:27] <comply> concerning ubuntu landscape service: Will this also restart services that still use old libraries?
[18:28] <linow> i have error logs in journalctl "Failed to start NVIDIA Persistence Daemon."
[18:29] <linow> and in systemctl "nvidia-persistenced.service  loaded failed failed    NVIDIA Persistence Daemon"
[18:31] <linow> anyone expirence same problems?
[18:34] <BillyMichael> Hi, i've been having a problem with my mouse and keyboard taking a long time to respond at boot and my screen losing focus until i press ctrl+alt+f1 and then ctrl+alt+f7 to fix it. I have checked dmesg and uploaded it here: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/901c50250fdfcd450c22c326e5d527be

[18:39] <voteko> hi#
[18:44] <BillyMichael> Anyone got an ideas about the following error on boot? "usb_submit_urb(ctrl) failed: -1"
[18:44] <BillyMichael> Seems to be my mouse and usb headset causing it
[18:47] <EriC^> ]\769+'
[18:47] <ThomasAFaulkner> Hello?
[18:47] <ThomasAFaulkner> EriC?
[18:47] <EriC^> yes?
[18:47] <ThomasAFaulkner> How are you
[18:48] <EriC^> good you?
[18:48] <ThomasAFaulkner> yes
[18:48] <ThomasAFaulkner>  are you from england
[18:48] <nacc> !ot | ThomasAFaulkner
[18:48] <EriC^> no
[18:48] <ThomasAFaulkner> were you from
[18:48] <nacc> ThomasAFaulkner: stop. that is not ontopic for this channel.
[18:49] <ThomasAFaulkner> msg ubottu !register
[18:49] <ThomasAFaulkner> im new to ubuntu
[18:49] <BluesKaj> ThomasAFaulkner, this not general chatroom, if you have an Ubuntu question then just ask
[18:50] <ThomasAFaulkner> How do you use Exe files in ubuntu
[18:50] <nacc> ThomasAFaulkner: you don't generally. Those are windows executables.
[18:50] <nacc> !wine | ThomasAFaulkner: but wine can emulate windows, if you absolutely must
[18:50] <ThomasAFaulkner> what is the linux equivilent
[18:51] <nacc> ThomasAFaulkner: any program can be considered an executable
[18:51] <nacc> ThomasAFaulkner: can you be more specific?
[18:51] <ThomasAFaulkner> ????
[18:51] <BluesKaj> ThomasAFaulkner, depends on the app
[18:51] <ThomasAFaulkner> Errrr Team viewer
[18:51] <frozenrouter> ThomasAFaulkner: ubuntu does not run exe files, instead you execute binary files, or install .deb files. If you want to run exe files, software emulators such as wine can be used.
[18:51] <ThomasAFaulkner> okay
[18:51] <ThomasAFaulkner> not a clue there pal
[18:52] <nacc> ThomasAFaulkner: teamviewer provide a .deb it looks like: https://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/linux/
[18:52] <nacc> ThomasAFaulkner: but you would need to ask them for support, it's not part of ubuntu
[18:52] <ThomasAFaulkner> okay
[18:53] <ThomasAFaulkner> err what about getting stuff like python 3.6.0
[18:53] <nacc> !latest | ThomasAFaulkner
[18:53] <ThomasAFaulkner> as i am a computer science students
[18:53] <BluesKaj> ThomasAFaulkner, https://www.teamviewer.com/en/help/427-how-do-i-install-teamviewer-on-my-ubuntu-system
[18:54] <ThomasAFaulkner> done it
[18:54] <nacc> !info python3.6
[18:54] <nacc> ThomasAFaulkner: python3.6 is only available in 16.10 and 17.04, which version of ubuntu are you on?
[18:54] <ThomasAFaulkner> how to get
[18:54] <BluesKaj> look above
[18:54] <ThomasAFaulkner> 16.04.2
[18:55] <nacc> ThomasAFaulkner: no official python3.6 in 16.04
[18:55] <nacc> ThomasAFaulkner: why do you need 3.6?
[18:55] <frozenrouter> On ubuntu, you can use the (software)package management tool "apt", which is set up to access a reasonably up-to date selection of software on newer versions.
[18:55] <ThomasAFaulkner> i need it for my computer science course
[18:55] <ThomasAFaulkner> how i do that
[18:55] <nacc> ThomasAFaulkner: your course depends on a version that only released 3 months ago?
[18:56] <BluesKaj> I repeat https://www.teamviewer.com/en/help/427-how-do-i-install-teamviewer-on-my-ubuntu-system ThomasAFaulkner
[18:56] <ThomasAFaulkner> no it's been changed by ocr they now made it dependent on 3.6
[18:56] <frozenrouter> ThomasAFaulkner: In most cases, when using python 3, any version above 3.2 is compatible with most things even more advanced ubuntu users will be wanting to do with it.
[18:57] <nacc> ThomasAFaulkner: 'ocr'?
[18:57] <ThomasAFaulkner> BluesKaj
[18:57] <ThomasAFaulkner>  i repeat i allready have sorted that with nacc
[18:57] <ThomasAFaulkner> OCR are the exam board i am on
[18:58] <ThomasAFaulkner> any im going off now
[18:58] <ThomasAFaulkner> see you soon
[18:58] <nacc> ThomasAFaulkner: i find that incredibly hard to believe that anyone would be testing you on 3.6 specifically, can you provide evidence for that? in any case, you need to be on a newer version of ubuntu to get 3.6
[19:15] <Munger> I have used dpkg-divert to intercept a call to /sbin/dhclient, but now apparmor is denying access to /sbin/dhclient.distrib. What is the easiest way to overcome this without removing apparmor?
[19:16] <tatertots> maybe his school is using text books that include content created in the 1980's / 1990's...this wouldn't surprise me
[19:18] <nacc> tatertots: ?
[19:19] <adityaduggal> unable to get a screen resolution higher than 1024x768 on my E3-1200 intel card can any one help me

[19:21] <adityaduggal> been searching for this problem for many days but never got any solution even at 01.org

[19:21] <adityaduggal> tatertots, http://paste.ubuntu.com/24216922/
[19:22] <nacc> LordLupus: we have no context for that error
[19:22] <LordLupus> Why?
[19:22] <wedgie> LordLupus: what are you doing when you get that?
[19:22] <LordLupus> FTP Server
[19:22] <nacc> LordLupus: ok, look in the ftp server logs
[19:22] <LordLupus> I forwarded the port 21, and the port 22, and the range 13000-13100
[19:22] <tatertots> adityaduggal: do not run inxi as root and do it verbatim as i did in my instruction...this means you will use the exact verbatim options
[19:23] <LordLupus> I can connect through the internal IP :(.
[19:23] <LordLupus> I want to connect through the external IP.
[19:23] <tatertots> adityaduggal: share url/link here
[19:23] <LordLupus> At pasv_address I have to put my external IP Address or the Internal?
[19:24] <wedgie> LordLupus: probably also need 20 (22 is unrelated to FTP)
[19:24] <wedgie> LordLupus: i also wouldn't recommend setting up FTP at all unless you have a really really good reason
[19:25] <tgm4883> Step 1: Use SFTP. Step 2: Trying to use FTP? Refer to Step 1
[19:25] <wedgie> ^^
[19:25] <adityaduggal> tatertots, here is the output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24216944/
[19:25] <OerHeks> "external ip"?
[19:25] <LordLupus> I want FTP not SFTP.
[19:25] <nacc> OerHeks: 'public ip' in this case, i believe
[19:25] <LordLupus> I can connect through the port 22.
[19:25] <tgm4883> LordLupus: definitely don't use FTP if you're opening it to the internet
[19:25] <LordLupus> OpenSSH.
[19:25] <nacc> LordLupus: why do you want FTP?
[19:25] <LordLupus> :P.
[19:25] <LordLupus> To upload bots on my IRC Channel.
[19:26] <LordLupus> :).
[19:26] <tgm4883> use SFTP for that?
[19:26] <LordLupus> I can't.
[19:26] <wedgie> why?
[19:26] <nacc> LordLupus:  why not?
[19:26] <tgm4883> you just said you can
[19:26] <al2o3-cr> use scp
[19:26] <OerHeks> bots over ssh are secure nagware
[19:26] <tatertots> adityaduggal: in terminal>    xrandr|pastebinit

[19:27] <al2o3-cr> eww perl :P
[19:27] <nacc> LordLupus: so you're not going to answer the question?
[19:27] <LordLupus> I need a password less server.
[19:27] <wedgie> sounds like you'd be just as well off with http then
[19:27] <tgm4883> ...
[19:27] <tgm4883> so ssh keys then?
[19:27] <LordLupus> SSH works.
[19:27] <nacc> LordLupus: ssh/sftp don't require passwords
[19:27] <adityaduggal> tatertots, here is the xrandr output http://paste.ubuntu.com/24216954/
[19:27] <LordLupus> Really?
[19:28] <LordLupus> -_-
[19:28]  * tgm4883 refuses to help people with FTP because it's so bad
[19:28] <LordLupus> <IP_ADDRESS> - Try to connect on my server on port 22.
[19:28] <LordLupus> Really, no login?
[19:28] <tgm4883> LordLupus: well that's completely missing the point...
[19:29] <wedgie> LordLupus: FTP is a VERY old protocol and does some really odd things network-wise that makes it a pain in the age of NAT and firewalls. SFTP or HTTP would be FAR simpler and will do what you want. If you just need a place to pull things from, go with HTTP. If you need to upload stuff too, sftp
[19:29] <LordLupus> ftp://<IP_ADDRESS> - It works, ftp://<IP_ADDRESS> - It ...
[19:29] <tatertots> adityaduggal: are higher resolutions available when booted to livecd/liveusb? yes or no....if you do not know....find out
[19:30] <LordLupus> Someone with FTP knowledge - Private chat!
[19:30] <adityaduggal> tatertots, for that I would have to boot onto via a live CD can you wait
[19:30] <tatertots> adityaduggal: yes
[19:30] <Ben64> !pm | LordLupus
[19:32] <tatertots> LordLupus: private chats are frowned upon here
[19:33] <tatertots> LordLupus: some of these guys will actually ban you for private chatting...you've been warned dude
[19:33] <LordLupus> Okay.
[19:33] <LordLupus> Sorry.
[19:34] <LordLupus> But who will help me with my problem?
[19:34] <Ben64> people have been trying
[19:34] <Ben64> you need to listen
[19:34] <LordLupus> I read all messages.
[19:35] <OerHeks> LordLupus, portscan says tcp://<IP_ADDRESS>:21 is opened (service:ftp) tcp://<IP_ADDRESS>:22 is opened (service:ssh) so try again, with :21 specified
[19:35] <OerHeks> free service, limited.
[19:35] <OerHeks> https://support.nightlydev.org/tcp-udp-port-scan
[19:35] <adityaduggal> tatertots, I just checked by booting into a live CD and found that the resolution was 1024x768 in the live CD as well
[19:36] <Munger> LordLupus, http://askubuntu.com/questions/46930/how-can-i-set-up-password-less-ssh-login
[19:36] <LordLupus> Okay, I'll try ftp://<IP_ADDRESS>:21
[19:36] <tatertots> adityaduggal: then you are at the limitation of what your configuration can do...unfortunate i know..
[19:36] <al2o3-cr> adityaduggal: one sec let me check my gists
[19:36] <adityaduggal> tatertots, what could be the reason for this problem? surely the video card and the monito are capable of giving a higher resolution
[19:36] <LordLupus> Ok. :(
[19:37] <Ben64> adityaduggal: what is the output of xrandr
[19:37] <al2o3-cr> adityaduggal: `xrandr --newmode 1360x768_60.00 84.75 1360 1432 1568 1776 768 771 781 798 -hsync +vsync`
[19:37] <nacc> tatertots: adityaduggal: you can take a look in the logs and see if the card reports higher via EDID and then add them, as al2o3-cr says
[19:37] <tatertots> Ben64: adityaduggal 's  xrandr http://paste.ubuntu.com/24216954/
[19:37] <nacc> although it would be good to debug why X doesn't like using them if they are defined
[19:38] <Ben64> well it seems to indicate a maximum of 1024x768
[19:38] <tatertots> Ben64: yep it sure does doesn't it
[19:38] <al2o3-cr> adityaduggal: `xrandr --newmode 1360x768_60.00 84.75 1360 1432 1568 1776 768 771 781 798 -hsync +vsync` type this in terminal
[19:39] <tatertots> adityaduggal: you can try what al2o3-cr is suggesting with that command....don't be shocked if it results in error
[19:39] <LordLupus> I hope I'll be able to connect to my FTP server through the external IP Address.
[19:39] <tatertots> adityaduggal: actually please do try it...and if it results in error please do say so
[19:40] <adityaduggal> al2o3-cr, http://paste.ubuntu.com/24217007/
[19:40] <Ben64> LordLupus: you really need to stop using ftp
[19:40] <al2o3-cr> adityaduggal: now this `xrandr --addmode VGA1 1360x768_60.00`
[19:41] <LordLupus> No. I want to use it.
[19:41] <adityaduggal> this did change the resolution
[19:41] <al2o3-cr> adityaduggal: lastly `xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1360x768_60.00`
[19:41] <Ben64> LordLupus: well don't. it's bad
[19:41] <LordLupus> But the official guide is a ...
[19:41] <LordLupus> :(.
[19:41] <adityaduggal> al2o3-cr, nothing happened
[19:41] <LordLupus> @echo off
[19:41] <adityaduggal> with the last command
[19:41] <nacc> LordLupus: so far the only reason you've said you want to use ftp is because you don't want passwords
[19:41] <LordLupus> echo Goodbye 220V or 20m :).
[19:42] <al2o3-cr> can you change your resolution now?
[19:42] <nacc> LordLupus: and someone provided an exact description of how to use passwordless ssh
[19:42] <al2o3-cr> ^ adityaduggal
[19:42] <LordLupus> Really?
[19:42] <Ben64> and ssh is superior in every way
[19:42] <LordLupus> I know.
[19:42] <Ben64> you don't seem to
[19:42] <LordLupus> But I really need FTP.
[19:42] <nacc> LordLupus: yes, and you ignored them, because you insist on using ftp without reason
[19:42] <Ben64> nobody needs ftp
[19:42] <LordLupus> Because ftp://ip, no ssh:// or sftp://
[19:42] <adityaduggal> al2o3-cr, can I also add another resolution directly in VGA1 mode
[19:42] <LordLupus> I need it ;). I'm sure about that.
[19:42] <nacc> LordLupus: that's not even a sentence.
[19:42] <al2o3-cr> adityaduggal: sure
[19:43] <LordLupus> So, I'm an idiot?
[19:43] <adityaduggal> al2o3-cr, would it last after reboot
[19:43] <LordLupus> Or something like that?
[19:43] <nacc> LordLupus: at this point, I think you're trolling the channel.
[19:43] <Ben64> LordLupus: stubborn and refusing to listen to good advice
[19:43] <LordLupus> I tried.
[19:43] <al2o3-cr> adityaduggal: try it and see :P
[19:43] <Ben64> you really didn't
[19:43] <LordLupus> I did it -_-.
[19:44] <LordLupus> I entered on this channel for support.
[19:44] <LordLupus> If you want, kick me!
[19:45] <adityaduggal> al2o3-cr, I am getting this: xrandr: cannot find mode "1440x900_60.00"
[19:46] <adityaduggal> and it seems that 1360x768 is not the best resolution for my screen I think it used to be either 1440 one or 1920 one
[19:46] <al2o3-cr> adityaduggal: did you get 1360x768?
[19:47] <adityaduggal> al2o3-cr, Yes I am currently on that resolution though its better than 1024x768 but it still does not seem right
[19:47] <Ben64> adityaduggal: what monitor is it
[19:47] <al2o3-cr> adityaduggal: try 1920 then
[19:47] <tgm4883> LordLupus: FTP is something you want to use, which is perfectly valid however recommended against. The server guide should be able to get you there. In this channel, you'll find people may be hesitant to help with any FTP issue
[19:48] <Ben64> because ftp is older than most of the people here, totally not secure, and just a pain in the rear
[19:48] <adityaduggal> al2o3-cr, https://www.cnet.com/products/samsung-syncmaster-943nw-lcd-monitor-19-series/specs/
[19:48] <LordLupus> Ok, I have to ask then?
[19:49] <Ben64> adityaduggal: 1440x900
[19:49] <Munger> LordLupus, Let's rephrase the question. What is your objection to using passwordless sftp with private key access? It is 1000 times more secure and actually easier to use.
[19:49] <tgm4883> Munger: my guess is he wants anonymous login
[19:49] <adityaduggal> al2o3-cr, I think I would need to create a new-mode before I could add that mode
[19:49] <al2o3-cr> yep
[19:50] <LordLupus> Yes, I know, but I can upload bots on my IRC Channel only through a FTP Server (Public FTP Server) without login.
[19:50] <adityaduggal> so should I just run the new mode command again with the 1920 or other values for hsync and vsync change
[19:50] <tgm4883> LordLupus: *using the perl script you have
[19:50] <LordLupus> Yes.
[19:50] <al2o3-cr> adityaduggal: no, let me create on from the spec for you
[19:51] <al2o3-cr> *one
[19:51] <Ben64> LordLupus: what stops anyone else in the world from uploading crap to your ftp then?
[19:51] <tgm4883> LordLupus: let's not leave out any details ok ;)
[19:51] <LordLupus> And the perl script - ... $server = "ftp://ip/bot.php" ... $channel = "#Arena" ...
[19:51] <Ben64> seems like a great way to get hacked
[19:51] <LordLupus> And bot.php - ... $server = "<IP_ADDRESS>"
[19:51] <LordLupus> $channel is in bot.php, sorry.
[19:51] <tgm4883> Ben64: people on the internet wouldn't do that. We're all trustworthy ;)
[19:52] <Ben64> LordLupus: find a better way. seriously.
[19:52] <tgm4883> LordLupus: I don't think ... is valid perl
[19:52] <al2o3-cr> adityaduggal: xrandr --newmode "1440x900_75.00" 136.49 1440 1536 1688 1936 900 901 904 940 -HSync +Vsync
[19:53] <LordLupus> It's a big perl code.
[19:53] <Ben64> LordLupus: just to upload something?
[19:53] <LordLupus> Bots.
[19:53] <LordLupus> To my IRC Channel.
[19:53] <LordLupus> On Server.
[19:53] <Ben64> is that a yes?
[19:53] <tgm4883> LordLupus: that's what pastebin is for
[19:53] <Munger> Wow! That ftp server really is wide open. Damned if I would use it
[19:53] <Ben64> LordLupus: it uploads something somewhere, correct?
[19:54] <LordLupus> On my IRC Channel - Users 9bots)
[19:54] <LordLupus> (bots)*
[19:54] <Ben64> IS THAT A YES
[19:54] <LordLupus> Yes.
[19:54] <Ben64> jesus
[19:54] <LordLupus> Something like that.
[19:54] <tatertots> it's not like there's any super sensitive data in there...consumers rarely have data worth anything to any supposed hacker
[19:54] <Ben64> do it with ssh and one line of bash
[19:54] <tgm4883> LordLupus: omg, yes we get it. Bots, irc, server. YOu don't need to keep repeating that
[19:54] <Ben64> you're doing it the absolute dumbest way possible
[19:54] <Ben64> stop it now
[19:55] <Ben64> use a reasonable method
[19:55] <Ben64> there's a reason there is a huge amount of pushback on your intended way. it's BAD.
[19:55] <LordLupus> I can't with sftp.
[19:55] <tgm4883> tatertots: i'd be more inclined to think it would become a warez dump
[19:55] <Ben64> why not
[19:55] <tgm4883> Ben64: because the script he has doesn't support it
[19:55] <charlie_sanders> scp is really quite easy
[19:55] <Ben64> thats why make a new script
[19:55] <tgm4883> Ben64: script kiddies don't write their own scripts
[19:56] <LordLupus> ...
[19:56] <adityaduggal> al2o3-cr, added the 1440x900 mode but did not change my resolution to that....
[19:56] <LordLupus> I do not know perl!!!
[19:56] <Ben64> it doesn't need to be perl!!!!!
[19:56] <Munger> Then use bash
[19:56] <LordLupus> I know just HTML, CSS, VB.NET and some PHP.
[19:56] <al2o3-cr> adityaduggal: xrandr --addmode VGA1 1440x900_75.00`
[19:56] <LordLupus> I know.
[19:56] <LordLupus> But I don't know other methods.
[19:56] <Ben64> so ask
[19:57] <Ben64> instead of trying to push through your terrible way
[19:57] <Munger> There is an sftp server on that IP too
[19:57] <LordLupus> I know.
[19:57] <tgm4883> LordLupus: Ok, so when you use this perl script to upload a bot. What exactly ends up on the FTP server, a file of some sort?
[19:57] <LordLupus> It's mine :).
[19:57] <Ben64> so use it
[19:57] <charlie_sanders> adityaduggal, you have to add the mode, then change it in the preferences ... that just adds the option not change the resolution
[19:57] <LordLupus> Ok, let me to show you:
[19:58] <tgm4883> ok
[19:58] <Munger> So put you public key on there and change the single line in the script to use it.
[19:58] <LordLupus> perl x.pl >> ftp://...bot.php/ >> bot.php >> IRC Channel >> Bots
[19:58] <al2o3-cr> adityaduggal: xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1440x900_75.00`
[19:58] <al2o3-cr> follow these steps to a winner
[19:58] <tgm4883> maybe i'm dumb, but that means nothing to me
[19:58] <madmouser1> weird permissions issue; pls help; NFS share mounted, ownership set to my username and permissions -R 777; I do have permission to delete root but not sub-folder, however have permissions to delete 2 levels deep iow subfolder of subfolder..
[19:59] <armin> just use arandr
[19:59] <charlie_sanders> madmouser1, a sticky bit will prevent folder removal ( I think ?  Let me check that )
[19:59] <al2o3-cr> command line ftw
[19:59] <adityaduggal> al2o3-cr, thanks this is finally done after about 5months of on and off searching
[19:59] <al2o3-cr> adityaduggal: ;)
[20:00] <adityaduggal> al2o3-cr, just wanted to know why does it happen only with ubuntu since its too frusturating for new users who are not as persistent as me
[20:00] <charlie_sanders> madmouser1, yeah use lsattr  on that folder, http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/206594/why-cant-i-delete-this-file-as-root
[20:00] <adityaduggal> al2o3-cr, I am presuming that these settings would not just vanish on reboot or any update
[20:00] <al2o3-cr> adityaduggal: it doesn't. it happens in arch and few others too
[20:01] <brunch875> OerHeks, it turns out ubuntu liveUSB wouldn't boot on that specific USB3.0 when using UEFI. Using a 3.0 external hard drive did the trick :|
[20:01] <brunch875> technology never ceases to amaze me
[20:01] <adityaduggal> al2o3-cr, with me its happened on ubuntu 16.04, seemed very strange
[20:01] <madmouser1> charlie_sanders: many thanks
[20:01] <al2o3-cr> adityaduggal: to configure a mode gtf 1440 900 75.00 or whatever
[20:02] <adityaduggal> gtf?
[20:02] <KenKaniff> a
[20:02] <charlie_sanders> madmouser1, np hope it works
[20:02] <al2o3-cr> adityaduggal: gtf - calculate VESA GTF mode lines
[20:02] <Olanzapin> Can someone help me out again. I have messed up my credentials by using sudo k3b. Always crashing after that. i think the code is "sudo chown $user $home something :D
[20:03] <al2o3-cr> man pages are way underestimated :p
[20:03] <adityaduggal> al2o3-cr, I am very new to the world of linux and really don't know where to find man oages
[20:03] <al2o3-cr> adityaduggal: in terminal man <program>
[20:04] <Bashing-om> Olanzapin: What shows ' ls -al .ICEauthority .Xauthority ' for ownership rights ?
[20:04] <Munger> adityaduggal, man chown
[20:04] <aotaointbin> is there a way to get sshpass to work with a custom password prompt?
[20:05] <ducasse> Olanzapin: yes, but $USER and $HOME
[20:05] <Olanzapin> hmm someone in here helped me out with the last bit of the code
[20:05] <Olanzapin> thx
[20:05] <Munger> aotaointbin, http://www.linux.org/threads/changing-ssh-password-prompt.3740/
[20:06] <aotaointbin> Munger: sshpass, not sshd :P
[20:07] <Olanzapin> can the last bit be $DIRECTORY
[20:07] <ducasse> Olanzapin: i told you
[20:07] <Olanzapin> hehe
[20:07] <Olanzapin> me paraniod
[20:08] <ducasse> Olanzapin: sudo chown -R $USER $HOME
[20:08] <Munger> aotaointbin, Trying to automate a login?
[20:08] <Olanzapin> ajaj captian
[20:08] <adityaduggal> al2o3-cr, Munger thanks alot now I get it what gtk 1600 900 75 would give me
[20:08] <bubbely> anyone good with data recovery?? thing is.. i found the data on my hd by grep through my usb hd backup but cant find it with a file recovery tool, so i need some guidance
[20:08] <LordLupus> I hope I'll find my answer tomorrow.
[20:09] <al2o3-cr> adityaduggal: no worries and enjoy!
[20:09] <adityaduggal> al2o3-cr, once again thanks alot for the help, though I have created a gist for the same so that I am not lost again, I would for the time being test the new settings after rebooting tc
[20:09] <antoniobeyah> bubbely: i've had good luck with http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
[20:09] <LordLupus> Hey guys.
[20:09] <LordLupus> Sorry for derange.
[20:10] <LordLupus> Sorry!
[20:10] <bubbely> running test disk, doesnt show the file i want
[20:10] <LordLupus> Forgive me!
[20:10] <blabla> bubbely: what's up?
[20:10] <LordLupus> See you tomorrow!
[20:10] <al2o3-cr> Ad1Tech: add them in your .xinitrc or some such
[20:10] <bubbely> blabla: trying to recover some code
[20:10] <blabla> bubbely: what filesystem was it on?
[20:10] <al2o3-cr> oops they've gone, sorry Ad1Tech
[20:10] <blabla> you deleted the file or what?
[20:11] <bubbely> uninstalled along software, i didnt think program data would get uninstalled
[20:11] <bubbely> i mena deleted
[20:11] <bubbely> anyway
[20:11] <bubbely> i backed up my hd to a usb with clonezilla
[20:11] <bubbely> device-device
[20:11] <blabla> m
[20:11] <blabla> k
[20:11] <LordLupus> Goodbye!
[20:11] <LordLupus> Again, sorry for derange!
[20:12] <bubbely> blabla: can u help me find my index.js
[20:14] <aotaointbin> so, i'm having issues with my system date...
[20:15] <aotaointbin> `date` yields "Mon Mar 20 20:13:45 UTC 2017"
[20:15] <aotaointbin> which is what i expect...
[20:15] <aotaointbin> (i recently changed my tz to UTC)
[20:16] <aotaointbin> but the top bar in my (gnome?) still displays a time in my old TZ
[20:16] <tomreyn> did you logout and login since you changed it?
[20:16] <aotaointbin> but when i click on that and go to 'time & date settings', it's showing UTC, "automatically from the internet", and a UTC time..
[20:16] <aotaointbin> no, i didn't, and really don't want to :P
[20:17] <javadkhof_> hi
[20:17] <tomreyn> aotaointbin: sounds like it's specific to either your current gnome session, to your Gnome profile, or to your users' profile.
[20:18] <adityaduggal> I am still getting the issue as the added screen resolutions are reset after reboot
[20:18] <aotaointbin> but that should be a GUI-only thing at this point, right?
[20:19] <adityaduggal> 2nd time I tried adding 1600x900_60 but still after reboot I got a message about incompatibility and the resolution was reset to 1024x768
[20:19] <ducasse> a
[20:20] <tomreyn> aotaointbin: try this in a terminal: locale | grep TIME
[20:23] <al2o3-cr> adityaduggal: your monitors native resolution is 1440x900
[20:24] <adityaduggal> al2o3-cr, Yes but adding the 1440x900 resolution gets wiped out after the reboot and I have tried to add it in 60 hz as well
[20:24] <al2o3-cr> adityaduggal: add it to either xinitrc or Xorg.conf
[20:24] <adityaduggal> just typed 1600x900_60.00 wrongly
[20:25] <al2o3-cr> or create a script to run at boot
[20:32] <al2o3-cr> adityaduggal: did you get any of that?
[20:33] <adityaduggal> al2o3-cr, I have created this file https://gist.github.com/adityaduggal/aed4f401eae76f83c9ae3b37f935b0be
[20:33] <adityaduggal> Now I am figuring out where to save this file so that it is executed everytime the system is rebooted
[20:34] <al2o3-cr> adityaduggal: let me create a gist
[20:34] <al2o3-cr> adityaduggal: why you adding 60.00
[20:35] <adityaduggal> al2o3-cr, I thought 60 would be good for my screen should I use 75?
[20:35] <al2o3-cr> adityaduggal: yes, use 75.00
[20:37] <adityaduggal> al2o3-cr, I have updated the gist https://gist.github.com/adityaduggal/aed4f401eae76f83c9ae3b37f935b0be
[20:37] <al2o3-cr> adityaduggal: https://gist.github.com/gr33n7007h/3b5c95dd4a6ed86c117453f221b6a039
[20:37] <adityaduggal> I think it should now be fine
[20:38] <tsglove> n00b question: If I were to deploy, say 12 servers, all as VirtualMachines, inside the same host... how would be ¨best¨ to go about this?
[20:39] <tsglove> The excercise is specifically so I can learn how to do this ¨automated¨ to a point.  Either with ansible, or... some other way.   Any thoughts?
[20:39] <al2o3-cr> adityaduggal: is it intel or nvidia?
[20:39] <adityaduggal> al2o3-cr, I think its intel
[20:39] <adityaduggal> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09)
[20:40] <al2o3-cr> yeah, it's intel
[20:40] <al2o3-cr> i've updated the gist
[20:41] <adityaduggal> so I should now add this to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf
[20:41] <al2o3-cr> adityaduggal: affirmative.
[20:43] <adityaduggal> al2o3-cr, going to reboot and would confirm in a minute
[20:43] <al2o3-cr> ok :)
[20:45] <adityaduggal> al2o3-cr, I am getting this error on logging in after reboot http://paste.ubuntu.com/24217358/
[20:46] <adityaduggal> al2o3-cr, though my screen resolution is now stable at 1440x900 but the screen looks a bit hazzy
[20:46] <adityaduggal> not a sharp as it was in Windows
[20:46] <rezzerloop> hi
[20:48] <rezzerloop> How to switch off file system checking at boot, anyone ?
[20:48] <Ionic> hm... what's the repo that contains scripts used to create the official "ISO" images?
[20:48] <al2o3-cr> adityaduggal: yeah, there's many little adjustments to made, some of which i don't know off the top of my head :(
[20:49] <Ionic> rezzerloop: you do not want to do that
[20:49] <al2o3-cr> that error message is something to do with xorg
[20:49] <adityaduggal> al2o3-cr, I don't think that startup error is going to harm me alot
[20:50] <al2o3-cr> adityaduggal: no, but it's would bug me
[20:50] <al2o3-cr> *it
[20:50] <akik> adityaduggal: xrandr commands can be run in /etc/X11/Xsession.d. create a new file for them
[20:50] <al2o3-cr> jeez i can't type tonight
[20:51] <rezzerloop> I may try as the image to deploy has this problem and I cannot for now change it so I don't want my users to be annoyed by it.
[20:52] <rezzerloop> #Ionic I may try as the image to deploy has this problem and I cannot for now change it so I don't want my users to be annoyed by it.
[20:55] <adityaduggal> al2o3-cr, Thanks for the gist Its 2:30 am here and I really need to catch on some 3 hrs sleep gtg bye and many thanks  akik thanks for the advice but for shortage of time I would look into this later
[20:59] <rezzerloop> for anyone looking at disableing file system checking at boot : https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-unix-bypassing-fsck/
[21:00] <genii_> There's a reason fsck runs when it does
[21:13] <Munger_> I have used dpkg-divert to intercept a call to /sbin/dhclient, but now apparmor is denying access to /sbin/dhclient.distrib. What is the easiest way to overcome this without removing apparmor?
[21:17] <joedenver> hi there, I created ubuntu live stick (persistent); now I want to dump ISO from that stick, are there any specific tools to do that?
[21:17] <joedenver> I started with dd, but that gives me no compression and the stick is 16GB
[21:17] <joedenver> I'm using only ~4GB from it
[21:20] <joedenver> can I turn that iso obtained by dding usb stick into dsk.xz?
[21:20] <CarlFK> joedenver: clonezilla
[21:21] <CarlFK> joedenver: here are the 2 lines I am using right now for about (exactly?) the same thing:
[21:22] <CarlFK>  /usr/sbin/ocs-sr -q2 -c -j2 -z5 -fsck-src-part -sc -p true savedisk $clone $dev
[21:22] <CarlFK>  /usr/sbin/ocs-sr -g auto -e1 auto -e2 -c -r -j2 -p true restoredisk $clone $dev
[21:22] <joedenver> CarlFK: does that give you compressed image file from device?
[21:22] <CarlFK> yes
[21:23] <joedenver> CarlFK: and $clone is a filename, $dev is device node?
[21:23] <CarlFK> joedenver: more importantly, it doesn't even bother with unused blocks.
[21:23] <CarlFK> yes - clone=u-minc2-20160815-4ans; dev=sdd
[21:23] <joedenver> CarlFK: what's the package name I need to install?
[21:24] <CarlFK> you will need to mkdir /home/partimag  (odd requirement, bot meh)
[21:24] <CarlFK> sudo apt install clonezilla
[21:24] <joedenver> CarlFK: I'm looking for possibly highest compression
[21:24] <joedenver> CarlFK: do I still use your 1st line?
[21:26] <ArceDev> Hola :v
[21:26] <CarlFK>  sudo /usr/sbin/ocs-sr -h says:  -z5, --xz-compress       Compress using xz when saving: slow but smallest image file, faster decompression than bzip2.
[21:27] <joedenver> CarlFK: it claims that 'input device does not exist'
[21:27] <CarlFK> joedenver: what command?
[21:27] <slavanap> Hello. I want to configure tap openvpn at my server so after connection to that VPN the client will connect to my home network transparently. I tried to configure bridge but when I put it up, my server drops out of the network.
[21:27] <slavanap> How to fix that?
[21:28] <slavanap> Do you have experience with configuring openvpn tap?
[21:28] <joedenver> CarlFK: sudo /usr/sbin/ocs-sr -q2 -c -j2 -z5 -fsck-src-part -sc -p true savedisk clone=/home/joe/usb-cz dev=/dev/sdb
[21:28] <joedenver> CarlFK: no partition from /dev/sdb is mounted
[21:29] <CarlFK> sudo /usr/sbin/ocs-sr -q2 -c -j2 -z5 -fsck-src-part -sc -p true savedisk  usb-cz  sdb
[21:29] <joedenver> CarlFK: that worked
[21:29] <joedenver> CarlFK: it's doing something
[21:30] <joedenver> CarlFK: once that's finished, can I use rufus or any other 'usb burner' to burn that compressed image?
[21:30] <joedenver> CarlFK: I know that rufus can decompress on the fly
[21:30] <joedenver> CarlFK: just not sure, whether it will like clonezilla format
[21:31] <CarlFK> joedenver: yay!  you can also run clonezilla (sudo maybe) and get a menu gui thing that asks lots of questions.  then it both does it and gives you the command line params
[21:31] <CarlFK> sadly no, it creates a bunch of files in a dir: usb-cz
[21:31] <joedenver> CarlFK: so it's only good for clonezilla?
[21:32] <joedenver> CarlFK: if I want to put it on new USB stick
[21:32] <CarlFK> right - you need the 2nd command to go from fiiles back to usb stick
[21:33] <joedenver> CarlFK: that won't work for me I think as I need to hand it out to windows users, so they can recreate the stick on their windows boxes
[21:34] <joedenver> CarlFK: and they would most likely use rufus, or unetbootin, or somethine similar
[21:41] <CarlFK> joedenver: windows 10, install bash for win ;)    there is something about making a bootable restore, never tried it:  http://clonezilla.org/fine-print-live-doc.php?path=clonezilla-live/doc/04_Create_Recovery_Clonezilla/00-boot-clonezilla-live-cd.doc
[21:45] <joedenver> CarlFK: wouldn't clonezilla ever create iso file?
[21:46] <foozb12> Does anyone know how to retrieve a windows product key through linux? ACPIDUMP does not return 'msdm' which I read is where it could be stored.Im not running dual boot(just lubuntu 16.04 on here) but it was a preinstalled Winodws 7 system
[21:48] <joedenver> CarlFK: clonezilla took that 16GB stick and made it /home/partimg/usb-cz of size 2.2GB
[21:48] <joedenver> CarlFK: that's pretty good
[21:48] <joedenver> CarlFK: however, I cannot pass it over to my windows friends :\
[21:50] <foozb12> I mean, is it common to have the product key in the BIOS? Is it possible my BIOS does not contain it? I was under the impression all preinstalled Windows machine would have the key oem key embedded
[21:50] <CarlFK> joedenver: there is a mail list.  If you can wait a few days, post about what you are doing, someone may have a solution
[21:51] <k1l> foozb12: i guess you better ask the ##windows guys about the product key handling of that closed source OS. afaik there is no plaintext product key anymore
[21:51] <Bizzeh> there are plain text product keys, unless your key is from the free upgrade
[21:51] <joedenver> CarlFK: ok, is there clonezilla irc?
[21:51] <joedenver> CarlFK: I guess for now I will get dd image and try to compress it with lzma somehow
[21:51] <joedenver> CarlFK: or xz
[21:52] <al2o3-cr> foozb12: sudo cat /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/MSDM
[21:52] <CarlFK> joedenver: hey look, there is. 13 lurkers
[21:52] <al2o3-cr> foozb12: and don't show anyone :p
[21:52] <foozb12> al2o3-cr, Read original quesiton. acpidump doesn't show msdm :/
[21:52] <joedenver> CarlFK: what?
[21:53] <CarlFK> joedenver:  /j #clonezilla
[21:53] <foozb12> k1l, that's my next stop. But according to google esearching, a windows 7 keys will be embedded
[21:53] <joedenver> CarlFK: alright, thanks!
[21:53] <al2o3-cr> foozb12: oh, missed that part
[21:53] <foozb12> al2o3-cr, no worries
[21:54] <foozb12> Appears that -should- be the answer lol
[21:55] <Ionic> meh... there must be some location, all I can find is wiki articles detailing how to customize the live image
[21:58] <lord-arhemadan> So it turns out I'm logged in on my real username on some other computer, so I can't talk in #archlinux. I'll ask here hahaha
[21:59] <lord-arhemadan> Has xrandr changed its options recently? I just got "cannot find mode 1920x1080" from my usual command.
[21:59] <nacc> lord-arhemadan: on ubuntu?
[21:59] <lord-arhemadan> It might help if I give an xrandr version number :P
[21:59] <lord-arhemadan> And on Arch. I can't talk there though, cause usernames hahaha
[21:59] <lord-arhemadan> 1.5
[21:59] <dax> lord-arhemadan: /msg nickserv identify usernamehere passwordhere
[22:00] <nacc> lord-arhemadan: ... not really a reason to be offtopic
[22:00] <dax> we don't do arch support.
[22:00] <lord-arhemadan> Yeah, sorry yall :(
[22:01] <lord-arhemadan> Oh wow, that actually worked sax. Thanks!
[22:01] <embrik> Is it possible to replace a wireless card in a laptop with another one? I've tried to install ubuntu on a HP 6910p, but I can't wake my wireless card. It's hardblocked
[22:02] <qmr> open up your laptop and see
[22:02] <qmr> depends if it's an add in card or on the motherboard
[22:03] <k1l> embrik: is there a hardware switch?
[22:05] <embrik> k1l: Yes, but it won't work. Works in Win 10, but not linux
[22:07] <Kaili> Hello (again), yet another question : "HDMI doesn't work with Optimus hybrid graphics chipsets under Linux for most laptops" is this still true ? Because indeed it doesn't seem to work out of the box, but maybe there is a solution ?
[22:08] <PugaBear> I installed xserver-xorg-video-intel and xserver-xorg-core to try to fix a flickering problem on ubuntu 16.04.2, then rebooted, and my startup process is hanging on 'Starting Show Plymouth Boot Screen...ed.shutdown.....'
[22:08] <PugaBear> Any ideas?
[22:09] <k1l> embrik: does the ooutput of "rfkill list" change when you hit the hardware switch?
[22:09] <embrik> k1l: No
[22:10] <PugaBear> '...ed.utdown.....' *
[22:10] <k1l> embrik: does "sudo rfkill unblock all" change the output?
[22:11] <embrik> rfkill unblock does only unblock softblock (after memory, haven't got linux here
[22:11] <k1l> embrik: ok, so we cant work on the issue anyway. please come back here when you are booted to that ubuntu install
[22:12] <embrik> k1l: Agree - Tahanks anyway
[22:13] <tatertots> Kaili: are you using the computer right now?
[22:13] <Kaili> tatertots: yes sure
[22:13] <tatertots> Kaili: in terminal>     sudo apt install inxi pastebinit
[22:13] <tatertots> Kaili: when it's done..say so
[22:15] <arooni> whats the best way to bump my php version in ubuntu 14.04 ? (WooCommerce Stripe - The minimum PHP version required for this plugin is 5.6.0. You are running 5.5.9-1ubuntu4.21.)
[22:16] <bubbely> grepped my usb hd clone  found my deleted content amongst a bunch of binary data and not in easeus or testdisk etc... anynoe have any ideas?
[22:17] <Kaili> tatertots: wait I'm trying to install proprietary driver first, maybe nouveau can't handle working on laptop with intel chipset card and on monitor with nvidia card. Right now computers fan going crazy :p
[22:17] <Kaili> computer fans*
[22:19] <nacc> arooni: you would need to use a PPA
[22:19] <nacc> arooni: the major version in 14.04 won't ever change
[22:19] <arooni> looks lik esudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php addresses it
[22:19] <arooni> rather https://lornajane.net/posts/2016/php-7-0-and-5-6-on-ubuntu
[22:19] <w9qbj> arooni: have you tried   sudo apt upgrade php
[22:19] <nacc> arooni: yes, that is the PPA to use
[22:20] <bubbely> whats the terminal command to use dd to find something at an address with an ending offset?
[22:20] <nacc> w9qbj: that won't do what was requested (php 5.6 is not packaged in 14.04)
[22:20] <arooni> oh really?  so i am forced to upgrade to 7.0 ?
[22:20] <vegii> Hi. How can I add cups to dialout group, if it makes any sense? it doesn't detect my usb-serial printer
[22:20] <Kaili> Damn it doesn't install, aptd went crazy
[22:20] <nacc> arooni: hrm?
[22:21] <drake> Holy crap, that's a lot of people in one IRC channel.
[22:21] <nacc> arooni: officially, there is no longer php5 support in ubuntu in 16.04+
[22:21] <foozb12> What encoding is used inside the dmidecode file? It looks like: 37 3A 00 00 00 00 FF. I tried to convert it as hexcode to ascii, but it's gibbreish
[22:21] <arooni> nacc: there is no 5.6 package for ubuntu 14.04 ?
[22:21] <nacc> arooni: not officially, no
[22:21] <nacc> arooni: you would have to use ondrej's ppa, as you saw
[22:21] <ash_workz> can you just copy private keys to a new computer?
[22:21] <arooni> nacc: and you're saying that does or does not contain a 5.6 package for ubuntu 14.04 ?
[22:22] <wedgie> ash_workz: yes.
[22:22] <nacc> arooni: i have no idea, it's a ppa (!ubuntu)
[22:22] <kichawa> hi folks
[22:22] <kichawa> why i cant see any input commands in putty
[22:23] <kichawa> as in http://imgur.com/a/PlC9j
[22:23] <wedgie> kichawa: what are you connecting to?
[22:24] <kichawa> i connect to 3g modem via ttyUSB0
[22:24] <wedgie> you're going to want to make sure that you've got the serial settings right per your modem's documentation
[22:25] <wedgie> kichawa: with regard to flow control, stop bits, etc
[22:25] <tatertots> Kaili: ah i see you're one of those people....well...good luck
[22:25] <kichawa> wedgie: it's ordinary 3g modem
[22:26] <kichawa> i dont think so there is any documentations :<
[22:27] <PugaBear> I've fixed the Plymouth screen freezing by installing nvidia drivers, but now my login scree  is frozen/not accepting input.
[22:28] <wedgie> kichawa: in linux for serial stuff i mostly use screen: ''screen /dev/ttyUSB0''. Not sure if that will change anything for you though
[22:28] <Kaili> tatertots: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24217955/ hm ?
[22:29] <Kaili> Anyway installing proprietary driver kinda failed it seems, I fallback to nouveau
[22:31] <finner> I'm on ubuntu 16.10 and I'm trying to configure large page support per some instructions I'm following, but every time I put the details in my /etc/security/limits.conf file and reboot my system won't boot up to the greeter screen. Anyone here ever experience something like this?
[22:33] <foozb12> Does anyone know to decode the stuff in 'dmicedeoc' ? like the 'oem specific type' parts
[22:34] <drake> Is anyone here familiar with vsftp?
[22:36] <adymitruk> I've added kernel 4.10 manually
[22:36] <adymitruk> how do I add it via a ppa so that it gets security updates?
[22:36] <k1l> adymitruk: you cant
[22:37] <adymitruk> k1l: ok. what should I do to keep up to date without recompiling it myself each time?
[22:37] <k1l> adymitruk: that is the idea behind mainline kernels. they are for testing, not for gerneral usage.
[22:37] <k1l> adymitruk: what ubuntu do you use there?
[22:38] <adymitruk> I'm using gnome on one system, on this one i'm on kde neon
[22:38] <k1l> i meant the ubuntu release.
[22:38] <Bashing-om> Kaili: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us ; What driver did you install and how did you install the nVidia driver ?
[22:39] <k1l> 16.04.3 will ship the 4.10 backports kernel, that will be used in 17.04.  so that are your chances to use the official ubuntu 4.10 kernel with getting updates
[22:40] <andywww> i’m updating an old server with the usual apt-get update/upgrade and for some reason its trying to install multiple (5+) kernels and assiciated files
[22:41] <andywww> is there a reason why it would install so many?
[22:41] <Kaili> Bashing-om: first disabling secureboot to load proprietary driver, will be back
[22:41] <andywww> i’ve only got 100mb boot partition and its filling it
[22:41] <nacc> andywww: define 'old server' and pastebin the command and output
[22:43] <andywww> https://gist.github.com/anonymous/806ff8020fb5446344326d18174d58be
[22:43] <andywww> its a xenial install
[22:44] <andywww> i’m curious as to why it is trying to install so many kernels
[22:44] <nacc> andywww: i don't believe a single apt command should have installed all those kernels, esp. given that several are no longer current. What was the exact command (and note what you pasted was just the tail of the log, it's hard to help without seeing the whole thing)
[22:44] <k1l> andywww: usually it should only install the latest ones
[22:44] <slavanap> How to debug CUPS "Filter failed" error?
[22:44] <nacc> andywww: and a 100MB /boot is going to always be a PITA
[22:45] <nacc> apologies for the language, forgot the channel!
[22:45] <nacc> andywww: it will always be a pain
[22:45] <slavanap> How to debug CUPS "Filter failed" error if test page via CUPS web interface works
[22:45] <k1l> andywww: i think its comming from trying to install/update the kernel each time and piling up packages that still needs to be installed
[22:46] <zykotick9> slavanap: <sidenote only> i've fought with "Filter failed" before (with a brother printer), it was due to incorrect driver/ppd.  good luck.
[22:46] <k1l> andywww: you can try to remove th unwanted kernels with "sudo dpkg -r packagename1 packagename2"
[22:47] <andywww> i can’t paste the entire update output its huge but basically you can see from the timestamps what it has installed
[22:47] <andywww> https://gist.github.com/anonymous/e688baa9dccfa105395edf53c13e10e0
[22:47] <slavanap> zykotick9, I tried many different PPDs for my Epson LX1050+, now I'm able to print good Test page via CUPS web interface, but when I print any .pdf file with `lp -d Espon_LX1050p *.pdf` I get "Filter failed" error in CUPS web UI
[22:48] <nacc> andywww: if i had to guess, your apt was already messed up and it's now messed up furhter due to /boot being full
[22:48] <andywww> it is now, yeah
[22:48] <zykotick9> slavanap: sorry, i have no suggestions...  good luck!
[22:48] <slavanap> zykotick9, how can I run printing with CUPS in one explicit process so I can `strace` it?
[22:48] <nacc> andywww: and again, it's impossible to actually konw the root cause without seeing the beginning of the apt output (specifically which pacakges the current invocation was going to do)
[22:49] <slavanap> Maybe someone knows how to do it...
[22:49] <zykotick9> slavanap: no idea?
[22:49] <nacc> andywww: you might be able to find that in /var/log/apt/history.log
[22:49] <slavanap> zykotick9, I'm not familiar with CUPS that much.
[22:49] <andywww> one sec
[22:50] <andywww> https://gist.github.com/anonymous/724325fb400d2fea491ac7a56fde6a9b
[22:50] <andywww> this is from the very top of the list
[22:50] <nacc> andywww: that was from the current run or did you run it again?
[22:50] <andywww> first one
[22:51] <andywww> ah hang on
[22:51] <k1l> andywww: as i said: use dpkg
[22:51] <nacc> andywww: ok, so yeah, your apt was already b0rked. you should follow what k1l said
[22:51] <andywww> ah here we go
[22:51] <nacc> andywww: you'll need to manually remove 'old' kernels (you can honestly remove them all and then manually reinstall the latest via the metapacakge)
[22:52] <andywww> https://gist.github.com/anonymous/b7320dd7220b1e9fef8a956d4f0719cc
[22:52] <nacc> andywww: yes, dd you run that yet? autoremove
[22:52] <andywww> just running it now
[22:53] <andywww> i removed a few manually first
[22:53] <andywww> it just decided to replace them
[22:53] <kaili> Installing proprietary nvidia driver made me boot to black screen :/
[22:53] <andywww> i didn’t know if they were being referenced somewhere
[22:53] <kaili> That confirms optimus support isn't out of the box at all yet
[22:54] <k1l> kaili: dpeneds on the card and the driver and where that driver is from
[22:54] <Bashing-om> kaili: Did you purge the older driver prior to re-installing the current driver ?
[22:55] <kaili> k1l: from ubuntu repo. Card is geforce 940mx (I sent a paste with all the info earlier)
[22:55] <kaili> Bashing-om: purge nouveau ??
[22:55] <k1l> kaili: was there an error when isntalling that package?
[22:55] <kaili> No error
[22:56] <k1l> kaili: did you look into the Xorg.0.log in /var/log ?
[22:57] <Bashing-om> kaili: If it were the nouveau driver, no need to purge ; ' dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia ' to see if there are conflicts .
[22:58] <kaili> k1l: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24218104/
[22:58] <k1l> kaili: what ubuntu is that?
[22:59] <k1l> and: 6.973] (EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0)
[22:59] <kaili> 17.04. Laptop is cutting edge, tried to install 16.10, didn't work well
[22:59] <k1l> so, "there were no errors when installing the driver" doesnt match the "there is no module" issue
[23:00] <k1l> kaili: 17.04 is still in development.
[23:00] <kaili> Yep but it works better on my laptop
[23:00] <kaili> 16.10 shipped kernel didn't even have my wifi driver
[23:00] <k1l> !17.04
[23:01] <digitalcrow> hi !
[23:01] <digitalcrow> can i ask you a question ?
[23:02] <kaili> k1l: actually I think I showed you the wrong xorg log
[23:02] <Bashing-om> !ask | digitalcrow
[23:02] <digitalcrow> !ask i can't connect to wifi networks on ubuntu 17.04 dailybuilds or ubuntu 17.04 beta 1 on derivatives
[23:02] <digitalcrow> i can't connect to wifi networks on ubuntu 17.04 dailybuilds or ubuntu 17.04 beta 1 on derivatives
[23:03] <kaili> k1l: this is the correct one : http://paste.ubuntu.com/24218142/ loading the nvidia driver

[23:09] <andywww> i’m concerned about removing them and grub borking
[23:09] <kaili> k1l: so no help because it's 17.04, right ?
[23:10] <andywww> is it possible to remove a few of them with apt and rebuild the grub config?
[23:13] <k1l> kaili: yes, file a bug and see if that is a known issue for 17.04
[23:13] <andywww> well a reboot worked, bonus
[23:14] <k1l> !bug | kaili
[23:14] <Bashing-om> andywww: ' sudo update-grub ' to rebuild .
[23:14] <andywww> thanks
[23:14] <kaili> I don't think it's a bug, the whole optimus bumblebee nvidia thingy is experimental. Plus it's a 4K touch screen which must not help making things simple
[23:15] <andywww> nacc: i’m back in business, many thank for the help
[23:15] <k1l> kaili: optimus works on 16.04 and 16.10 with the nvidia drivers ubuntu ships
[23:15] <andywww> k1l: same
[23:15] <k1l> andywww: np
[23:15] <nacc> andywww: yw
[23:17] <tatertots> kaili: i've seen countless working optimus systems....your problems are truly your own...file a bug report or post your problem in the forums, maybe you'll be better at following instructions there
[23:17] <kaili> tatertots: I sent you inxi report
[23:18] <kaili> When you asked for it, nvidia driver was already under installation, couldn't abort it
[23:18] <dh128> I'm losing my mind. How can I set bootloader in Ubuntu installation?
[23:19] <nacc> dh128: 'set bootloader'? you don't gneerally need to do that manually
[23:19] <dh128> I currently have Windows and Manjaro Linux installed. GParted tells me /dev/sda2 (100MB FAT32) is the EFI partition, but no matter what combination I try I can't get GRUB to recognize Ubuntu upon installation
[23:19] <sa7en> hello guys i really need someone to help me with my Ubuntu
[23:19] <nacc> dh128: manjora != ubuntu
[23:19] <Philip_> hey everyone

[23:36] <Bashing-om> dh128: If Windows and windows is EFI, it is a real pain to IF ubuntu is installed leagacy to convert the boot loader . Can be done but above my present skill set . Much faster to just re-install ubuntu in EFI mode .
[23:38] <dh128> Bashing-om: windows and manjaro are EFI. I chose sda, here goes nothing
[23:39] <dh128> Bashing-om: worked, thanks!
[23:39] <Bashing-om> dh128: Well great ! I was holding my breath :)
[23:41] <dh128> Hmm now Manjaro is kernel panicking
[23:41] <dh128> No data on it though, I'll just reinstall

[15:31] <linux_dr> I'm having trouble with vagrant detecting something as ssh before openssh is responding properly... could upstart have something to do with this?
[20:34] <linux_dr> can someone here point me to an easy way (maybe in the cookbook) to have OpenSSHd come up after everything else in the system is up and running?
[23:20] <xnox> linux_dr: ssh start up in parallel with pretty much majority of everything (runlevel 2)
[23:20] <xnox> linux_dr: and it's typically not the right solution.
[23:20] <xnox> linux_dr: if you want to wait until an instance has reliably booted, look into cloud-init, which installs a few upstart jobs to coordinate an instance initialisation and gives reliable state information once everything is booted.
[23:21] <xnox> linux_dr: the order in which jobs come up is never guaranteed, and shouldn't be relied upon.
