[14:39] <jak2000> not know why, always always need type: sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0 for start work with network card? any advice? thanks
[14:40] <snufft> EriC^: sweet, no worries. I'm half way through the puppy boot now, i'll try things from there firt :)
[14:40] <EriC^> joelio: ? :D
[14:40] <kgirthofer> oo0o had to delete all the partitions within
[14:42] <joelio> EriC^: aye, we run ceph as openstack backend storage for images and object store, fountain of useless knowledge :)
[14:43] <jak2000> EriC^ any advice?
[14:44] <Ohcrap> hi folks, just killed both dpkg and apt, any idea how i can recover them? I did it by nuking pcre libs which now I cannot re-install.
[14:45] <snufft> EriC^: puppy failed :( tried fsck from recovery and it gives me "mount point /mnt/blahblah does not exist" :D
[14:45] <EriC^> joelio: :)
[14:45] <EriC^> (no idea what you said though:D)
[14:45] <joelio> lol
[14:45] <EriC^> jak2000: regarding what?
[14:45] <joelio> EriC^: http://ceph.com/
[14:46] <EriC^> snufft: odd, do you have a live usb at hand?
[14:46] <kgirthofer> http://imgur.com/a/dpM2n
[14:46] <kgirthofer> thanks guys! Got it :)
[14:46] <snufft> EriC^: i don't, unfortunately. I can get my download on now and grab one. might take a few hrs on australian internet though, haha
[14:47] <snufft> EriC^: any particular distro?
[14:47] <NOVAtechi> snufft: what are you looking to do?
[14:47] <EriC^> snufft: in that case try to mount as read-write with mount -o remount,rw / then touch /forcefsck
[14:48] <EriC^> snufft: in that case try to mount as read-write with mount -o remount,rw / then touch /forcefsck
[14:48] <EriC^> oops
[14:49] <Ohcrap> anyone? any way to undo: "sudo dpkg --force-all -P libpcre3"
[14:49] <mouseStuck> My cursor is stuck after waking from sleep? Gubuntu 16.04.1
[14:49] <EriC^> Ohcrap: i guess you could compile manually those needed libs and stuff?
[14:50] <catphish> does ubuntu 16.04 support downgrading to linux 3.x?
[14:50] <jak2000> EriC^ notebox know why, always always need type: sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0 for start work with network card? any advice? thanks
[14:50] <EriC^> Ohcrap: or download the package and unzip it and manually copy the files over?
[14:51] <Ohcrap> thanks for suggestions, firstly @EriC^... I have gcc but doubt I have the rest of the libs required to build them (so would be PITA to build here). In terms of downloading the package, I have an rpm with it in but no tool to extract.... Any default tool on ubuntu to unpack rpms?
[14:51] <jak2000> EriC^ its a vm in Virtual Box
[14:51] <EriC^> catphish: you could install the hwe package for trusty that uses 3.13 i dont know how that would go though
[14:51] <snufft> EriC^: as in, edit fstab from recovery?
[14:52] <EriC^> snufft: no just type the command there "mount -o remount,rw /"
[14:52] <EriC^> jak2000: no idea sorry
[14:53] <EriC^> Ohcrap: get the package from archive.ubuntu.com then use the archive unzipper in the filemanager to get the files
[14:53] <snufft> EriC^: all I can do from there is press enter to continue
[14:53] <Ohcrap> thanks @EriC^, will give it a bash
[14:53] <EriC^> snufft: oh, try to drop to root shell
[14:53] <EriC^> Ohcrap: np
[14:54] <Ohcrap> @EriC^ Just realised, since I'm on Elementary the file manager is probably different. That seems to be the last of my worries though, as the one I have won't start lol
[14:54] <Ohcrap> I assume for the same reason that dpkg, sudo, cd, and everything else won't work
[14:54] <Ohcrap> things I can do: nano, vim, use chrome which is open, use the terminals i have got open already
[14:54] <EriC^> Ohcrap: you can still extract the files using dpkg i think
[14:55] <EriC^> dpkg -x bla.deb
[14:55] <Ohcrap> running dpkg gives me the error
[14:55] <snufft> EriC^: no output from either "mount -o remount, rw /" or "touch /forcefsck" :(
[14:55] <Ohcrap> dpkg: error while loading shared libraries: libpcre.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[14:55] <catphish> EriC^: it seems that "linux-hwe-generic-trusty" doesn't really do anything at all on xenial :(
[14:55] <EriC^> snufft: ok good
[14:55] <EriC^> snufft: it means they worked, try ls
[14:55] <cursorStuck> My cursor is stuck after waking from sleep? Gubuntu 16.04.1
[14:55] <EriC^> snufft: try ls / to see if the forcefsck got created
[14:56] <snufft> EriC^: yeah buddy! ls / gives me folders!
[14:56] <k1l_> catphish: there is no 3.x kernel in 16.04
[14:57] <EriC^> Ohcrap: try in the terminal xdg-open bla.deb
[14:58] <catphish> k1l_: i feared there may not be :(
[14:58] <ontsledder> I am trying to transfer music to an SD card and play it in my card with ubuntu.  I can not seem to get it to work.  Anyone help???
[14:58] <Mavis> start by saying what is not working
[14:59] <ontsledder> Mavis you talking to me?
[14:59] <ssarah> hei, you know that after you start ubuntu for the first time, if you go to language support it says that language support is not installed completely?
[15:00] <ssarah> how do you install language support completely using command line?
[15:00] <Ohcrap> @EriC^: closer. I can open it with that, offers me to install (error since dpkg borked), save (works, i just get seemingly another .deb?), or quit
[15:02] <ontsledder> I have all the mp3 music loaded on to an SDHC card and when I plug into my truck it says Card not supported.
[15:02] <k1l_> ontsledder: what filesystem is on that sdcard?
[15:02] <ontsledder> Fat
[15:03] <k1l_> and that truck worked with that exact card before?
[15:03] <EriC^> Ohcrap: try ar x bla.deb
[15:03] <ontsledder> Yes.  I had windows before and did it no prob. But switched to ubuntu and now I can not get it working
[15:03] <EriC^> Ohcrap: then tar xzf data.tar.gz apparently
[15:04] <k1l_> ontsledder: was it unmounted correctly?
[15:04] <ontsledder> probally not
[15:04] <k1l_> ontsledder: what happens on "dmesg" if you put that into the ubuntu?
[15:04] <ron__> vous avez vu //www.spamhaus.org/query/domain/outlook.fr   chez outlook :x
[15:05] <Ohcrap> @EriC^ extracted, but tar depends on it too :D
[15:05] <Ohcrap> @EriC^ that is to say it depends on libpcre
[15:06] <ontsledder> New to ubuntu?  dmesg in terminal?
[15:06] <Ohcrap> I'm tempted just to refo, I get the impression I've taken this a step too far lol
[15:06] <k1l_> ontsledder: yes
[15:06] <ontsledder> gives me a ton of info
[15:07] <ontsledder> file:///media/dondiane/DE00-FE06
[15:07] <k1l_> ontsledder: "dmesg | nc termbin.com 9999" in terminal and show the output url here please
[15:07] <ontsledder> oops
[15:08] <ontsledder> does say it is not unmounted
[15:09] <ontsledder> FAT-fs (sdc1): Volume was not properly unmounted. Some data may be corrupt. Please run fsck.
[15:09] <k1l_> ontsledder: so there you go
[15:09] <k1l_> !fsck
[15:10] <k1l_> ontsledder: http://askubuntu.com/questions/147228/how-to-repair-a-corrupted-fat32-file-system/147237
[15:14] <desarrollo> asfd
[15:17] <ash_workz> is the general idea with backing up a linux system to rsync remotely?
[15:22] <Ohcrap> @EriC^ Thanks for your help, I was struck with the brilliant idea to boot from USB using the same image I installed with, and from there to locate all files named pcre, mount the existing drive at ~/tmp, then cp the file to the same location within the ~/tmp folder as it is on the bootable ISO image... Worked a treat. Time to install the package pr
[15:22] <Ohcrap> operly anyway. Thanks :)
[15:23] <EriC^> Ohcrap: great idea
[15:23] <EriC^> Ohcrap: no problem!
[15:27] <wish^> Hi, I am back on Cinnamon and it seems to have fixed most of my problems. Is it safe to remove unity from my system at this point?
[15:28] <Ohcrap> @EriC^ one more problem to resolve... because I cp'd the files, it looks to have copied files where it should've created hardlinks (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpcre.so.3  is not a symbolic link + one other for /usr/lib). If I delete those two files now, and hardlink them appropriately, what do you suppose the chances of doom might be? Any guesses?
[15:29] <OerHeks> wish^, adding a desktop is no problem, removing one can be a pain.
[15:29] <ontsledder> kill_ i unmounted it and did not work.  I will have to play with it more.
[15:29] <Ohcrap> OK, it broke. Time to go fix it properly LOL
[15:30] <k1l_> ontsledder: you need to fsck the sdcard
[15:30] <ontsledder> i did that
[15:31] <ontsledder> doing it again
[15:32] <ontsledder> it hangs on checking for bad clusters?  Do i just leave it there until finished?
[15:32] <k1l_> ontsledder: ofcourse you dont abbort the fsck.
[15:33] <ontsledder> ok i will let it sit there
[15:41] <wish^> OerHeks, ok, so i can just keep the other desktop and it shouldn't cause any problems?
[15:43] <OerHeks> wish^, 2 desktops do not bite, indeed. if you want pure cinnamon, i suggest reinstall, with the mini iso as cinnamon has no official iso (yet)
[15:43] <wish^> mini?
[15:43] <wish^> Do you mean Mint?
[15:44] <ontsledder> k1l_does this take awhile?
[15:44] <OerHeks> No, mini iso, small iso without live mode, which needs internet to install a desktop
[15:44] <OerHeks> !mini
[15:44] <wish^> OerHeks, thanks for your assistance though. What i really want is kde plasma with Ubuntu 16.04 so I will probably install that when I decide to do a reinstall
[15:45] <snufft> hmmm, so how do i go about adding my main drive back into fstab?
[15:46] <snufft> or rather, how can i go about recreating my /etc/fstab?
[15:47] <wish^> Is there someone here that jnows or knows a good article for disk partitioning for an ubuntu installation? What kind of sizes do we need for the different paths?
[15:48] <OerHeks> !partitioning
[15:48] <OerHeks> lots of info, i would let ubuntu do the partitioning
[15:50] <wish^> Ok OerHeks
[15:50] <wish^> Do you know what normal ram usage is at for Ubuntu, i am currently at 8gb constantly
[15:51] <snufft> HALLELUJAH! I'M IN!!!
[15:51] <nacc> wish^: it should use all your ram all the time, if there is any need for it
[15:51] <OerHeks> few hundred mb, see htop what is eating your ram
[15:51] <snufft> Thanks OerHeks and EriC^ for putting up with my stupid questions :D Thanks to you guys I can finally finish installing some windows rubbish and go to bed :D
[15:51] <Neuii> wish^: http://www.linuxatemyram.com/
[15:51] <nacc> wish^: it depends on workload, etc.,
[15:52] <wish^> My swap never gets touched though
[15:52] <nacc> wish^: are you overcommitting?
[15:53] <wish^> nacc, what exactly do you mean?
[15:55] <nacc> wish^: are you using more memory than you physically have by your workload? or more precisely, why do you expect swap to be used?
[15:55] <wish^> http://paste.ubuntu.com/23174064/
[15:56] <nacc> wish^: that doesn't quite answer my second question
[15:56] <_0xbadc0de> sudo apt-get install bind9
[15:56] <_0xbadc0de> t00r
[15:57] <wish^> Computer feels sluggish at times, and sometimes i get as much as 14 gb ram usage in the sytem monitor
[15:57] <Ohcrap> @EriC^ still here? :)
[15:57] <wish^> It just seemed strange, but I did read your linuxateram thing so i guess it is normal
[15:57] <anddam> I have two 16.04 ubuntu hosts with gnome. One shows the full path in gnome-terminal window title, the other just the last path component, where's this configured?
[15:57] <k1l_> wish^: 1) ram is to be used. free ram is wasited money. 2) you need to seperate cache and actual ram usage.
[15:57] <nacc> wish^: if you have 16G of RAM, then it doesn't matter if your spikes are 14G
[15:58] <nacc> wish^: you want ram to be used before swap, generally
[15:58] <ontsledder> k1l_ when done that fsck.  I can pull it and try in my truck or do I have another step?
[15:58] <wish^> Ok, well I dunno what is up. But i do not like it when the fan speed of my computer is noticable because i open a new chrome tab
[15:58] <k1l_> ontsledder: make sure its properly unmounted before pulling it out
[15:59] <wish^> So something is definetly wrong with the system
[15:59] <Ohcrap> I'm getting no such file or directory running ln with the first param being the file I'm creating as a link, and the second being the file it's linking to. Any suggestions on that? :)
[15:59] <ontsledder> ok what is the best way?
[15:59] <Ohcrap> The first file doesn't exist, the second does. The no such file or directory is flagging on the first file - that shouldn't exist, so far as I'm aware
[15:59] <OerHeks> wish^, good thing fanspeed is on. your complaint is invalid.
[16:00] <nacc> wish^: that's unlikely to be related to not swapping (it would be more likely to occur if you *were* swapping). It's probable that you either are consuming all cpus, so cpu frequency is ramping up (which increases heat), or maybe the disk is spinning for one reason or another. It's hard to say why without knowing more of what is happening when you notice the fan increase.
[16:00] <DrunkenDwarf> Hi all. The live USB for "Try Ubuntu" is formatted for testing the system, is there an easy way to get a standard install of Ubuntu (without installer and Grub "try" menu) onto a bootable usb?
[16:00] <nacc> Ohcrap: other way around
[16:00] <wish^> nacc, Yea I understand that. Thanks though.
[16:00] <nacc> Ohcrap: `man ln`: ln target link_name
[16:01] <Ohcrap> oh crap.
[16:01] <Ohcrap> thanks
[16:01] <nacc> Ohcrap: indeed. np :)
[16:01] <Ohcrap> the strange bit is that two other links worked backwardsly (if that makes sense
[16:01] <Ohcrap> )
[16:01] <booh> Hi.  I have 2 screen on 2 amd old graphics cards.  I see my desktop in xinerama.  Ubuntu 16.04 with OpenSource drivers. It's a dedicated box displaying always same app on each screen.  Before when I was on an old ubuntu with proprietary drivers, I had to start each app with the right DISPLAY=... each screen was independent.  Is it possible to have this mode again to be able to auto start my 2 apps full screen ?
[16:01] <nacc> Ohcrap: it doesn't, but no context, so unclear :)
[16:02] <cscf> DrunkenDwarf, yeah, just run the installer from a usb or dvd and point it at an USB.
[16:02] <Neuii> Is there a way to let automount say why the mount failed? It just says "failed to mount /media/sdcard" when trying to access the folder
[16:02] <nacc> Neuii: it's probably in dmesg
[16:02] <Ohcrap> nacc: Context is that I forcefully removed pcre using dpkg and everything broke, I'm trying to "restore" it using bootable usb and just forcing files / links back into place... It worked, but some links were replaced with files which confused apt later on, now trying to rectify that :P
[16:02] <ontsledder> k1l- i tried and got unmount: command not found
[16:03] <pavlos> ontsledder, umount not uNmount
[16:03] <nacc> Ohcrap: seems like a mistake :) ... forcefully removing anything often leads to issues :)
[16:03] <Surendil> ontsledder, umount without the N
[16:03] <DrunkenDwarf> cscf: will that put the bootloder etc on the usb and not the host machine primary partition? So I can effectively plug it in something else entirely
[16:03] <k1l_> ontsledder: umount is the command
[16:03] <Ohcrap> nacc: hence the name :)
[16:03] <nacc> Ohcrap: are you not able to chroot in from the bootable usb and just reinstall the .deb?
[16:03] <u0m3_> hi. does anyone know why nvidia-370 and nvidia-cuda-toolkit are incompatible? (I mean is it a real incompatibility or just some packaging quirk?)
[16:04] <nacc> Ohcrap: which you might need to manually d/l
[16:04] <Ohcrap> i have no idea how to do that
[16:04] <Ohcrap> I just noticed this (from an earlier effort): lrwxrwxrwx 2 root root 19 Mar 25 04:12 /home/elementary/tmp/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpcre16.so.3.13.2 -> libpcre16.so.3.13.2
[16:04] <nacc> Ohcrap: what package did you forcibly delete?
[16:04] <Ohcrap> is it just me, or is that file linked to itself?
[16:04] <ontsledder> ok so in terminal i type unmount that is all?
[16:04] <Ohcrap> nacc: pcre16
[16:04] <nacc> Ohcrap: what release of ubuntu?
[16:04] <Ohcrap> don't remember the package name, but it's the pearl something regex something
[16:04] <Ohcrap> 16.04.1 (elementary latest)
[16:05] <nacc> Ohcrap: uh, the exact package is rather important
[16:05] <Ohcrap> hang on
[16:05] <OerHeks> elementary has its own issues.
[16:05] <nacc> you can probably find it in /var/log/dpkg.log
[16:05] <Neuii> nacc: I don't see any messages about mounting failed
[16:05] <Ohcrap> ii  libpcre16-3:amd64                              2:8.38-3.1                                              amd64        Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expression Library - 16 bit runtime files
[16:05] <Ohcrap> ii  libpcre3:amd64                                 2:8.38-3.1                                              amd64        Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expression Library - runtime files
[16:05] <Ohcrap> Based on my estimates, it will be those 2 that I deleted :P
[16:05] <Ohcrap> I'll check the log also
[16:05] <nacc> they both say they are installed, though?
[16:06] <Ohcrap> from the bootable usb, yes
[16:06] <Ohcrap> the OS which is broken won't even run dpkg
[16:06] <pavlos> ontsledder, umount <mount_point> (you may need sudo) ... see man umount
[16:06] <Ohcrap> well, not any more
[16:06] <nacc> Ohcrap: ah right
[16:06] <backbox> h
[16:07] <backbox> hello
[16:07] <Ohcrap> I think I'm in a state where the other OS will at least boot
[16:07] <backbox> Mohamed
[16:07] <yokisuci> ls
[16:08] <backbox> hello
[16:08] <OerHeks> !backbox | backbox
[16:08] <nacc> Ohcrap: ok, i would suggest if you are, your first step should be to reinstall those pacakges you think you removed
[16:08] <ontsledder> I unmounted and still did not work.
[16:09] <Ohcrap> will give it a bash now
[16:09] <Ohcrap> just got heavily confused by that hardlink situation
[16:09] <Ohcrap> just to confirm
[16:09] <backbox> ///////
[16:09] <backbox> //////
[16:09] <backbox> hey dude
[16:09] <Ohcrap> links as in those created by ln are written to disk, right? so they will persist over a reboot?
[16:09] <nacc> backbox: please stop
[16:09] <nacc> Ohcrap: yes, they are part of the filesystem
[16:09] <Ohcrap> beautiful, thanks, see you in a few (Y)
[16:09] <pavlos> ontsledder, if you type df -h, the mounted point should not be there
[16:09] <backbox> okay im sorry
[16:10] <k1l_> ontsledder: then again: what happens now in dmesg when you put the card into the ubuntu? please show on paste.ubuntu.com
[16:10] <zetwal> hello all. i'm running ubuntu mate 16.10 and can't find the printer installation interface (either in the administration sub-menu or by searching).
[16:11] <ducasse> zetwal: ask in #ubuntu+1
[16:11] <pavlos> zetwal, should be in System|administration|printers
[16:11] <OerHeks> zetwal, for 16.10 join #ubuntu+1 for support
[16:11] <OerHeks> it is not released yet
[16:11] <pavlos> zetwal, there is a ubuntu-mate channel
[16:11] <booh> Ubuntu 16.04 the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf is missing.
[16:12] <bencc> how can I find packages that use a specific package?
[16:12] <bencc> http://packages.ubuntu.com/yakkety/libfreehep-graphicsio-emf-java
[16:12] <nacc> booh: it's not present by default
[16:12] <nacc> booh: it's not needed generally
[16:12] <k1l_> booh: its not used by default
[16:12] <OerHeks> boot there is no default xorg.conf, make one if you need it.
[16:12] <bencc> I'm trying to find what program can convert from emf to other formats
[16:12] <nacc> bencc: `reverse-depends` or `apt-cache rdepends`
[16:13] <bencc> nacc: trying
[16:13] <Guest84795> Greetings, is there someone who could help me with my WiFi problems?
[16:13] <k1l_> ontsledder: if you show it here others can have a look too and will see errors.
[16:13] <k1l_> ontsledder: is that a virtualmachine?
[16:13] <ontsledder> http://paste.ubuntu.com/23174238/
[16:13] <Ohcrap> nacc: booted... now being told that i have unmet dependencies (libpcre3), it tries to install but says dpkg error'd processing the archive, trying to overwrite shared /usr/share/man/man3/pcrepattern3.gz' which is different from other instances of package libpcre3:amd64 - suggestions?
[16:13] <ontsledder> ok
[16:13] <ontsledder> No
[16:13] <zetwal> @pavlos - like i said in my initial message, its not in administration > printers. i was also informed in the ubuntu-mate IRC group that this is a common issue and I'd have better luck here finding users to help with this.
[16:14] <OerHeks> bencc, imagemagick> convert rose.emf rose.png
[16:14] <ontsledder> I have Virtual on it for windows
[16:14] <nacc> Ohcrap: you *might* need to force the install; did that occur using apt?
[16:14] <zetwal> @ducasse - I will check there, thank you. what does +1 mean?
[16:14] <Ohcrap> nacc: it did, how do i force the install... dpkg -i libpcre3:amd64 or so?
[16:14] <Ohcrap> --force *
[16:14] <ducasse> zetwal: support for current dev release
[16:14] <zetwal> @ducasse - question answered, thank you!
[16:15] <k1l_> ontsledder: on the second last inserts it was not corrupt.
[16:15] <nacc> Ohcrap: i think that's correct, but you'll need the .deb
[16:15] <pavlos> zetwal, is it in the System|control center?
[16:15] <Ohcrap> got it :P
[16:16] <ontsledder> This is the same and then I do the fsck finishes and then unmount and still does not work in my truck
[16:16] <Guest84795> I can use my phones WiFi hotspot, but as soon as I connect to the hotel WiFi, I can get no connection to the internet (WiFi is connected though). When I use my phone to use the Hotel WiFi it works. Any Ideas?
[16:16] <praet> is there an easy way to sync a local windows directory with a remote ubuntu server?
[16:17] <Ohcrap> nacc: done. working, thanks
[16:17] <Neuii> Is there a way to let automount (autofs) say why the mount failed? It just says "failed to mount /media/sdcard" when trying to access the folder. dmesg -T says nothing at all about mounting.
[16:17] <nacc> Neuii: you could try running `mount /media/sdcard` as your user from the terminal and see what happens
[16:18] <Neuii> nacc: Can't find in fstab; Should i put it into fstab?
[16:18] <nacc> Neuii: not necessarily
[16:18] <ducasse> zetwal: also try launching system-config-printer from a terminal
[16:18] <nacc> Neuii: iirc, automount is supposed to figure it out normally
[16:19] <nacc> Neuii: you could also check syslog to see if the actual error is rreported there
[16:21] <abaldygle> Guest84795:   Did you follow the hotels instructions for connecting and getting past their captive portal?
[16:22] <bencc> OerHeks: doesn't imagemagick support emf only on windows?
[16:22] <bipul> I would be thankful if someone help me to understand the back end process of how temporary vg is creating and data is being migrated from /dev/sda1 PV to /dev/sda3 http://paste.ubuntu.net/23174271/
[16:22] <bencc> OerHeks: "convert: no decode delegate for this image format `EMF'"
[16:24] <OerHeks> bencc, oh that is bad for that prop. format :-(
[16:24] <Neuii> nacc: There is nothing in /var/log/syslog about mounting failed
[16:24] <OerHeks> bencc, else libreoffice could .. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15063349/imagemagick-on-linux-to-convert-emf-to-png/28749719#28749719
[16:24] <OerHeks> or inkscape
[16:25] <nacc> OerHeks: bencc: specifically not compiled into debian/ubuntu imagemagick
[16:25] <bencc> OerHeks: inkscape can't. libreoffice has issue with my file. thanks
[16:25] <nacc> as it's a windows-only format (per d/copyright)
[16:26] <ontsledder> any idea with that paste k1l_
[16:27] <beeshal> ,
[16:27] <k1l_> ontsledder: that paste looks ok not. i dont know what the issue with that truck is
[16:28] <ontsledder> Just says SD file system not supported
[16:28] <ontsledder> But works if I use a windows system
[16:29] <OerHeks> format the card in your truck, and see what filesystem it gets on your ubuntu machine
[16:32] <Neuii> nacc: Any more ideas/info?
[16:34] <nacc> Neuii: not off the top of my ehad, sorry
[16:34] <OerHeks> Neuii, did you try running `mount /media/<sdcard>` as your user from the terminal and see what happens
[16:34] <OerHeks> ?
[16:34] <nacc> OerHeks: yeah, it reported not in fstab
[16:34] <nacc> OerHeks: as it's an automount/autofs thing, i think
[16:34] <Neuii> OerHeks: [18:18:13] <Neuii> nacc: Can't find in fstab; Should i put it into fstab?
[16:34] <Neuii> (oh, too late)
[16:36] <Neuii> I also an entry in fstab, the mount /media/sdcard works, automount still says failed
[16:37] <nacc> that seems odd

[16:52] <Yxhuvud> Does it currently exist any irc client for ubuntu with support for dcc transfers that doesn't have a terrible UI? (anything text based is automatically disqualified)
[16:54] <OerHeks> all irc/dcc clients have terrible UI
[16:55] <Yxhuvud> konversation is pretty close, but dump core when a transfer is initialzed :/
[16:55] <Yxhuvud> well, there are grades in hell.
[16:57] <OerHeks> hexchat can, http://hexchat.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html#why-doesn-t-dcc-send-work-behind-a-router
[17:00] <Yxhuvud> ah, that is some fork oslt of xchat that was removed in 16.04?
[17:01] <OerHeks> xchat is no longer under development, hexchat is its free successor yes
[17:01] <OerHeks> but removed, where do you get that wrong info ?
[17:01] <OerHeks> wait, i don't want to know :-D
[17:01] <Yxhuvud> E: Package 'xchat' has no installation candidate
[17:02] <OerHeks> !find xchat
[17:02] <nicomachus> OerHeks: isn't xchat deprecated? hexchat is the new recommend
[17:03] <baizon> !find hexchat
[17:03] <OerHeks> that is what i try to type, yes
[17:03] <nicomachus> Oh I didn't scroll up at all. my bad
[17:04] <OerHeks> but the removed part, i thought he was pointing to hexchat, but that xchat ( not gnome) is gone, which is a good thing
[17:04] <Yxhuvud> I wish apt-get would have given a friendly pointer of where to look
[17:05] <Surendil> Yxhuvud, you could also search with: apt-cache search
[17:07] <Yxhuvud> oh well, thanks anyhow.

[17:30] <Genbu> have i to enable proposed to fix this?
[17:32] <OerHeks> Genbu, proposed is not mentioned in the url you gave
[17:32] <OerHeks> i would say no.
[17:32] <Genbu> in the hope to fix...
[17:32] <OerHeks> But we need more info, whjat ubuntu version?
[17:35] <Genbu> i have ubuntu mate 16.04
[17:36] <atralheaven> guys, I think I screwed my apt, I exited it when it was installing something. how can I fix it?
[17:36] <Genbu> "unity" ubuntu 16.04 is all ok
[17:36] <OerHeks> Genbu, does "dmesg | grep xpad " returns some info ??
[17:37] <episteme> OerHeks, yeah you are right. I have ultimately determined that it's just cause it's older hardware and just having issues rendering. But figured I would ask in case there is a setting somewhere i can change to help fix the issue.
[17:39] <Bit-2> hello , after i installed opensdk-9 , my java crashed , so now when i run an application , its says java not found , anyhelp ?

[17:48] <sab0> akik, well thank you for your help, but that wasnt helpful for me
[17:48] <Archvile> hi all
[17:49] <akik> sab0: the solution to your problem is in comment 14
[17:49] <Archvile> i just gave an old laptop a new life by installing Ubuntu
[17:49] <sab0> akik, ok, thank you!
[17:49] <Archvile> Already managed to install some SW and even made my wireless keyboard and mouse wokr \o/
[17:50] <Archvile> anyway, I have some questions as im very new to ubuntu and linux in general
[17:50] <Archvile> when I do apt-get install foo, where does it actually install the software?
[17:51] <brunch875> does anybody know if/when nouveau drivers for the gtx900 series will be available / working well?
[17:51] <OerHeks> Archvile, You can discover where a package puts its 'stuff' by running in terminal: dpkg -L 'packagename'
[17:52] <brunch875> I want to test the next unity but the propietary drivers can't handle it and the nouveau graphics don't work for me
[17:53] <OerHeks> Archvile, /bin/ /usr/bin/ /sbin/ /usr/sbin/ and sometimes your /home/ folder too
[17:53] <ozz> why unity running very2 slow in my dual core pc with 2g ram?
[17:53] <johnpaul> hi
[17:53] <johnpaul> im new in ubuntu
[17:54] <johnpaul> elow
[17:54] <Archvile> OerHeks, i see..and how do I uninstall stuff installed with apt-get?
[17:54] <johnpaul> wew
[17:54] <johnpaul> google it
[17:54] <Surendil> Archvile, apt-get remove
[17:54] <ozz> apt-get remove --purge
[17:55] <OerHeks> Archvile, with the remove option, or use softwarecenter/synaptic
[17:55] <Surendil> Archvile, or dpkg -r package.deb
[17:55] <Archvile> ok..there seems to be quite many ways to install apps in ubuntu. Does the Ubuntu Software also use apt-get behind the scenes?
[17:55] <johnpaul> what is that>>??
[17:55] <OerHeks> !google | johnpaul
[17:55] <ozz> ya absolutely
[17:55] <johnpaul> sorry
[17:56] <OerHeks> Archvile, i suggerst to explore synaptic, a detailed softwarecenter :-)
[17:56] <Archvile> what is synaptic?
[17:57] <Archvile> alternative to Ubuntu Software?
[17:57] <alphazulu> what is the command for echo <package> ____ |dpkg --set-selections   to remove or uninstall?
[17:57] <alphazulu> i tried remove and uninstall and it says "dpkg: error: unknown wanted status at line 1"
[17:57] <OerHeks> !info synaptic
[17:58] <paranoidabhi> how can I get my bluetooth to work on kubuntu 16.04? In system settings it shows "No Bluetooth adapters have been found."
[17:58] <paranoidabhi> some info about device: https://bpaste.net/show/c114b2ea2796
[17:58] <Surendil> paranoidabhi, is bluetooth service running?
[17:58] <Archvile> i see..so is synaptic like THE shit when it comes to graphical package management, not Ubuntu Software?
[17:59] <OerHeks> Archvile, softwarecenter gives metapackages, synaptic more detailed stuff.
[17:59] <ozz> is it anyway to get the tp-link wifi adaptor working as a hotspot?
[17:59] <OerHeks> anyway, seeing yourself is better than 1000 words
[17:59] <Archvile> ok..and if I download a -deb file, how to I install that?
[18:00] <paranoidabhi> Surendil, hi, sry not suhttps://bpaste.net/show/05760010b771re how to check that?
[18:00] <paranoidabhi> Surendil, hi, sry not sure how to check that(https://bpaste.net/show/05760010b771)?
[18:00] <Archvile> (sorry for n00b questions, just confused about how you kinda need a degree to do something as trivial as installing an app..)
[18:00] <paranoidabhi> Archvile, sudo dpkg -i <filename>.deb
[18:00] <OerHeks> Archvile, don't just download deb packages from the web, unless you trust the maker. double click on it, softwarecenter will open
[18:01] <Surendil> paranoidabhi, i meant /etc/init.d/bluetooth status
[18:01] <OerHeks> if you don't know the commands, time to read some wiki  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[18:02] <paranoidabhi> Surendil, do you want to see the contents of the config file? Or run the cmd?
[18:02] <pavlos> Archvile, from a terminal, you can type gdebi-gtk <file> to install a .deb file
[18:03] <Archvile> ok..yeah i had a feeling theres like 5 ways to do it =P
[18:03] <paranoidabhi> can't believe I didn't knw abt zsh. It should be the default instead of bash!
[18:03] <Surendil> paranoidabhi, run the command, that will tell you if bluetooth service is running or not, if it's not running, there's your answer!
[18:04] <paranoidabhi> Surendil,  "/etc/init.d/bluetooth status" doesn't print anything.
[18:06] <Surendil> paranoidabhi, if your laptop has bluetooth, there should be a service installed
[18:06] <johnpaul> aw
[18:07] <paranoidabhi> hmm...
[18:07] <paranoidabhi> any ideas:?

[18:12] <Guy1524_> hey guys, so I have been using a SOCKS proxy with ssh -D for about a year now.  But today is suddenly stopped working.  I am able to connect to my server w/ ssh -D 1234 (ip), but when I apply the proxy in my network manager.  Firefox says "The proxy server is refusing connections"
[18:12] <Guy1524_> what can I do to troubleshoot this problem?
[18:12] <moonpunter> how can i install cuda 7.5 with gcc 4.9
[18:13] <Surendil> Guy1524_, did you checked if IPTABLES isn't blocking the request?
[18:13] <AliceGreen> ubottu: can someone help me please?I install vnc and I don't have the lanchuer (ubuntu server 16.04). here the log from xstartup :http://pastebin.com/sLYA4tqM
[18:13] <Guy1524_> no, how do I do that?

[18:14] <iggyZiggy> hi, my production server is returning Segmentation fault (core dumped) on any command i input, app is still running and i'm afraid to restart the server, what can i do?
[18:14] <Guy1524_> ok, do I do this before or after the ssh connection is open and before or after I have enabled the proxy
[18:14] <paranoidabhi> I had a bluetooth question I asked. If check above if you can help.
[18:14] <Guy1524_> and do I do this on the host or client
[18:14] <paranoidabhi> It shows me this : sudo service bluetooth restart -> Failed to restart bluetooth.service: Unit bluetooth.service is masked.
[18:14] <cscf> iggyZiggy, can you get dmesg?
[18:15] <cscf> iggyZiggy, are you out of RAM, maybe?

[18:15] <iggyZiggy> any command returns this error
[18:15] <Surendil> Guy1524_, on the host with problems
[18:15] <cscf> iggyZiggy, sounds like a fork bomb or out of RAM.
[18:15] <iggyZiggy> i have tmux running and htop in one window, i'm on 4 out of 16gb of ram
[18:16] <iggyZiggy> fork bomb?
[18:16] <Guy1524_> I don't know whether the problem is with the host or client Ill try hsot
[18:16] <cscf> iggyZiggy, does htop show thousands of identical processes anywhere?
[18:16] <Guy1524_> huh, now it sudden;y works

[18:17] <Surendil> Guy1524_, hahaha, that's luck or i don't know hwat

[18:51] <pecas> what is a max time in repair BadBlocks???
[18:52] <synthmeat> vfw: says not found for fsck
[18:52] <vfw> Like:  fsck -y /dev/sda1
[18:52] <synthmeat> no, command is not found, i'm in (initramfs) thing
[18:52] <vfw> synthmeat: But you need to run it on un-mounted partitions only.
[18:53] <vfw> synthmeat: You may need boot disk
[18:53] <vfw> synthmeat: Like ubuntu install CD or USB
[18:53] <synthmeat> vfw: there's no fsck command. yeah. this is vps, not happening
[18:53] <vfw> vps?
[18:53] <PickledEggs> Is Bumblebee still the best option on Ubuntu for getting Optimusesque functionality from a laptop with both a discreet Nvidia graphics card and an on-board Intel graphics chip? I know I can use PRIME to switch manually and log out/in but something that handled it automagically would be handy
[18:54] <synthmeat> vfw: virtual private server
[18:54] <PickledEggs> I see that Bumblebee hasn't had any development in years.
[18:54] <vfw> synthmeat: Well, I don't know exactly what the problem is, only speculating here...
[18:54] <vfw> synthmeat: Not enough information, but *could* be file system error
[18:55] <vfw> synthmeat: So other than that, I dono.  Maybe you have to re-install
[18:55] <synthmeat> vfw: yeah, exactly my thoughts. no data that needs to be preserved, it'll prolly be faster to just reinstall
[18:55] <synthmeat> :)
[18:56] <synthmeat> vfw: thank you nonetheless. signing off

[18:58] <xcyclist> This is the application which crashed my ubuntu today (with 8 gig memory I have on it too, not exactly small):  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_Studio_Code
[18:59] <nacc> xcyclist: seems odd that an IDE would crash an OS, but who konws
[19:00] <xcyclist> I haven't had Ubuntu crash for years, until I brought up this app.
[19:00] <nacc> xcyclist: i assume VSC is not in the repositories?
[19:00] <riqj> hello everyone, I created a linux-swap partition via gparted. but I don't know how to change the /etc/fstab file. if I just update the partition name and the UUID, there occurs a logical mistake. because the sentence is like 'the swap partition during install WAS /dev/sdXn with UUID: xxxx xxx..' or is it ok just to insert them?
[19:00] <nacc> xcyclist: not that ubuntu should crash in any case, just checking
[19:00] <xcyclist> No, I installed it from MS.
[19:00] <xcyclist> Well, I don't blame Ubuntu.  I blame the app.
[19:01] <akik> riqj: can you pastebin the fstab line?
[19:01] <xcyclist> And actually, the app just sponged up all the resources, would not let me access anything, and finally I rebooted.  So crash is the wrong word.  It locked me out.
[19:01] <riqj> akik, sure
[19:01] <nacc> xcyclist: ah yes, that's probably an OOM or so
[19:01] <nacc> xcyclist: in which case, get a better application :)
[19:02] <riqj> akik, here it is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23174871/
[19:02] <xcyclist> I apologize for not describing the problem accurately.  At any rate, I need to learn VS to get work.  I live under MS hegemony, in Puget Sound.
[19:02] <compdoc> riqj, when you create or format a partition, the UUID changes. you use sudo 'blkid' to find the new id to use in fstab
[19:03] <pavlos> riqj, http://askubuntu.com/questions/126018/adding-a-new-swap-file-how-to-edit-fstab-to-enable-swap-after-reboot
[19:03] <akik> riqj: oh a small detail "cryptswap1"
[19:03] <compdoc> riqj, you have to remove the comment from in front of the line
[19:03] <riqj> compdoc, the result of 'sudo mkswap /dev/sDxn' already shows the new UUID
[19:04] <akik> riqj: sorry i don't remember how the crypted swap should be defined. do you have a /etc/crypttab ?
[19:04] <pclavoro__> hello to everyone, some one can help me with the packege libopenal.so.1 I am not able to install it on ubuntu 16.04? thanks
[19:04] <ioria> xcyclist, .deb or tar.gz ?
[19:04] <riqj> akik, yes i have
[19:05] <SwedeMike> pclavoro__: it seems to be part of the "libopenal1" package
[19:06] <ro63r1> ALL: are there any games compatible with ubuntu that is similar to "100 doors" on thr android devices
[19:06] <riqj> pavlos, this seems to be an exhaustive guide to creating swap. I'd only used the mkswap command as I wrote. maybe I should restart as described
[19:06] <pclavoro__> SwedeMike do you have an repository please?
[19:06] <riqj> pavlos, thank you very much!
[19:07] <riqj> akik, compdoc, thank you! I will restart creating swap as in the link pavlos posted.
[19:07] <akik> riqj: the guide you followed in encrypting it didn't mention fstab ?
[19:07] <SwedeMike> pclavoro__: seems to come from "universe2
[19:07] <SwedeMike> pclavoro__: seems to come from "universe"
[19:07] <riqj> akik, I created the partition via gparted, if I understood your question correctly
[19:08] <akik> riqj: why is it called cryptswap1 ? is it encrypted?
[19:08] <riqj> akik, I don't know. I have done nothing to encrypt the swap partition
[19:09] <xcyclist> It was a .deb install.
[19:10] <riqj> I am usually vary of dd commands. could you please help me know what this line refers to: 'sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/cache/swap/myswap bs=1M count=4096' ?
[19:10] <nacc> riqj: it zeros out the first 4M of /var/cache/swap/myswap
[19:10] <NetpyJun>
[19:10] <rexwin_> how to Update to latest security patches?
[19:10] <riqj> nacc, it doesnt do anything to HDD, right? :)
[19:11] <riqj> wary* by the way :)
[19:11] <nacc> riqj: well, it depends on what is mounted/present at /var/cache/swap/myswap, i guess
[19:11] <compdoc> riqj, I dont think you dont need dd to create a swap. its a dangerous command
[19:11]  * nacc agrees, seems unnecessary
[19:11] <ioria> xcyclist,  just unpack the .tar.gz , run code and see if it goes better
 thank you!!!
[19:12] <vfw> rexwin_: With ubuntu, you just update everything...
[19:12] <xcyclist> Are you kidding?  I don't want to touch that thing again for a month.  I lost way too much work.
[19:12] <rexwin_> apt-get update
[19:12] <vfw> apt-get upgrade
[19:12] <vfw> apt-get dist-upgrade
[19:13] <rexwin_> what is the difference?
[19:13] <riqj> that's what I am wary of it. it gave this result: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23174902/  what is 4gb here? the folder on this path?
[19:13] <ioria> xcyclist,  it does not need an install , its already compiled
[19:13] <riqj> I found it, the file 'myswap' is 4gb. it is a binary..what is it?
[19:14] <nacc> riqj: sounds like a swapfile? maybe
[19:14] <vfw> rexwin_:  update is used to resynchronize the package index files from their sources
[19:14] <riqj> nice..before rebooting I will make a full backup
[19:15] <vfw> upgrade is used to install the newest versions of all packages currently installed on the system from the sources enumerated in /etc/apt/sources.list.
[19:23] <ioria> good
[19:25] <baldpope> is I didn't have a 2nd nic defined/up when maas was installed, and maas web interface only shows 1 fabric (eth0, not eth1) how do I add the second fabric interface?
[19:26] <baldpope> alternatively, if I just want to restart from scratch with maas - how do I go about resetting/
[19:27] <praet> in mathomatic, when i press up, it prints ^[[A instead of moviong to previous entry. Any way to fix that?
[19:27] <R063r1> What is the best free VPN
[19:27] <R063r1> provider
[19:29] <tanuki> Any idea why Ubuntu wouldn't give the option to install alongside Windows 10?
[19:29] <vfw> tanuki: No free space?
[19:30] <tanuki> vfw: It's a brand new machine
[19:30] <tanuki> apparently it's got 235GB free
[19:30] <vfw> tanuki: I don't care how new it is, if the entire hard drive is in use, you will not be able to install an additional OS
[19:31] <nicomachus> R063r1: "best" and "free" don't go together. but this isn't the right channel to ask that.
[19:31] <vfw> tanuki: You have some partitions. Right?  Maybe 2 or 3 right now?
[19:32] <tanuki> vfw: Apparently
[19:32] <vfw> tanuki: You will more-than-likely need to resize that largest one in order to leave "free space" on the hard drive for Ubuntu install.
[19:32] <tanuki> vfw: Doesn't the installer normally give the option to do so?
[19:33] <cscf> tanuki, normally, yes
[19:33] <vfw> tanuki: And it may be better for you to resize partition(s) or delete partitions before starting the Ubuntu install process.  Start with "free space"
[19:33] <ioria> tanuki, how did you install win10  , efi  (gpt) or msdos ?  and did you start the ubuntu usb according to that ?
[19:34] <tanuki> ioria: BIOS and we've tried the USB both ways.
[19:34] <tanuki> I'm not the one installing it
[19:34] <ioria> tanuki, so you installed win10 in bios mode ?
[19:35] <tanuki> ioria: Appaently.
[19:36] <ioria> tanuki,  does your pc support efi or fastboot (better disable it) ? or did you shutdown correctly win10 ?
[19:37] <tanuki> ioria: Dunno.
[19:37] <tanuki> my coworker claims he shut down W10 correctly
[19:37] <Bashing-om> Bray90820: Hey, I am back .. did ya get ubuntu booting ?
[19:37] <Bray90820> I did not
[19:38] <Bray90820> Eric thinks it's some crazy bug
[19:38] <Bashing-om> Bray90820: Yuk, so much for wishing you a good day . Got anything I "might" be able to help with ?
[19:39] <ioria> tanuki,  usually (not always) that behaviour is given by a gpt residue on the disk ...
[19:39] <Bray90820> Bashing-om: Not unless you have something else for me to try
[19:42] <ioria> tanuki,  maybe win10 was pre-installed efi mode and reinstalled in bios mode ?  you can try (Try ubuntu - open terminal) a sudo fixparts /dev/sda
[19:43] <khalan> hi all
[19:45] <vfw> hi some
[19:45] <tanuki> ls -lApparently running chkdsk in Windows fixed whatever was scrozzled.
[19:46] <Bashing-om> Bray90820: Nope, Eric has gone well beyond my abilities .
[19:46] <ioria> tanuki,  that's good
[19:46] <Bray90820> And I think he has gone to his abilities as well
[19:46] <vfw> tanuki: Yea, I like to defrag and run chkdsk b4 doing a dual boot.
[19:47] <vfw> tanuki: But you said it was a "new computer" so... didn't think saying that was important.  (Was thinking it was *really* new.)
[19:48] <Bashing-om> Bray90820: As we have exhuasted our means , as bodhi.zazen - trusted - advised .. perhaps start a bug report, see what the big boys think ?
[19:49] <Bray90820> If Eric has in fact gone a far as he can I will file the report
[19:49] <vfw> tanuki: And one reason for doing defrag and chkdsk first is to avoid the possibility of rendering an OS inoperable due to file system corruption.  (Which can happen in some rare cases.)
[19:50] <vfw> But... I like to just wipe the HD clean and do a Linux install without any other OS hanging around.  (Much simpler.)
[19:52] <vfw> In the last few years, all of the dual boot installs I've done are for other people, and what I've seen is very little use of the other OS - they get used to Linux and don't revert to the other OS after a while and it just sits there....
[19:53] <R063r1> why can we notdiscuss vpn
[19:53] <Bray90820> Bashing-om: You gave me some code yesterday that got some detailed graphics information
[19:53] <Bray90820> The one that told use I only had one gpu
[19:53] <vfw> R063r1: Sorry, go on and ask your question(s).
[19:53] <Bray90820> *us
[19:53] <OerHeks> R063r1, as choosing vpn provider is beyond the scope of this channel, try ##linux
[19:56] <vfw> Bray90820: xrandr ?
[19:56] <OerHeks> !logs
[19:56] <Bray90820> vfw: Nope
[19:57] <OerHeks> easy to find back, Bray90820
[19:57] <vfw> Bray90820: So what is it you are wanting to do?
[19:57] <Bashing-om> Bray90820: That was just to make sure that the advisory I saw in the boot log was not a red herring .
[19:57] <Bray90820> Bashing-om: What was that code again?
[19:57] <OerHeks> he wants to boot an 32 bit uefi tablet with an 64 bit processor
[19:58] <Bray90820> OerHeks: I actually have it booted with nomodeset as we speak it's a graphics issue that is preventing me from booting properly
[19:58] <vfw> Bashing-om: /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?
[19:59] <vfw> Bashing-om: less /var/log/Xorg.0.log  And search for key words?
[19:59] <ash_workz> how do I find out how big a directory is?
[19:59] <cscf> ash_workz, you mean total space used?  du -sh <dir>
[19:59] <vfw> Bashing-om: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132
[19:59] <Bashing-om> Bray90820: OH, that was ' cat /var/log/gpu-manager.log ' . Wuile we are waiting; becayse I see this as at the kernel level, did you verify the .iso and the copy to USB ( check disk for defects ) ?
[20:00] <OerHeks> Bray90820, there are tons of forumposts that gives no solution. did it ever boot right?
[20:01] <Bray90820> Bashing-om: there it is Thanks
[20:01] <Bray90820> OerHeks: Remember yesterday when it said I had 1 card?
[20:01] <Bray90820> Wrong ping
[20:01] <Bray90820> Bashing-om:
[20:02] <vfw> ash_workz: du -S
[20:02] <Bray90820> Bashing-om: It's now saying I have no cards
[20:02] <Bashing-om> Bray90820: Verify the foundation ? good .iso ,, and verified the copy to USB ?
[20:02] <ash_workz> there should be a explainshell bot command in here
[20:02] <vfw> ash_workz: du |sort -n   <will show directories sorted by size>
[20:03] <ash_workz> like `.explain du -sh <dir>`
[20:03] <ash_workz> should link: http://explainshell.com/explain?cmd=du+-sh+dir
[20:03] <cscf> ash_workz, that would be handy, actually.
[20:03] <vfw> (largest ones last)
[20:03] <ash_workz> or .explain du -sh dir actually
[20:04] <cscf> ash_workz, however, 'man du' tells you the same things.
[20:04] <ash_workz> (since <dir> is not valid, apparently)
[20:04] <cscf> ash_workz, <thingy> is a standard way to say "insert your x here"
[20:05] <zteam> I having some troubles with using a ppt VPN-server with Ubuntu, as long as I have MPPE disabled it connects just fine, but as soon as I enable that it refuses to connect properly, yet the instructions is very clear on that MPPE should be enabled, any ideas?
[20:05] <cscf> ash_workz, a useful command in future is
[20:05] <cscf> man -k usage
[20:05] <ash_workz> cscf (1) I just meant for in here... I feel like that's not an obscene redundancy considering things like !topic or !ask
[20:05] <ash_workz> cscf (2) the perk for explainshell is it constrains the options to just those provided
[20:05] <cscf> ash_workz, yes, that would be handy, as I said.
[20:05] <ash_workz> rather than going to have to hunt through the manpages
[20:06] <atralheaven> I've broken my apt-get, and apt-get install -f didn't work. I get this error: http://hastebin.com/raw/bezedivaxo
[20:06] <OerHeks> !aptlock
[20:07] <ash_workz> oh is « code » a convention?
[20:08] <ash_workz> I mean the practice of using [lr]aquos to denote code
[20:08] <Surendil> atralheaven, i think that means that another software is using apt or there is an apt instanse already running!
[20:08] <cscf> ash_workz, that's just the french style of quotes, as far as I know.
[20:08] <ash_workz> ah
[20:08] <ash_workz> okay
[20:08] <OerHeks> i would end it with #
[20:09] <blinkblink> Hi. Lightdm wont open! when I do "gedit /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter-ubuntu-mate.conf" the file is completely empty!
[20:09] <atralheaven> Surendil: so you mean another process is using it?
[20:09] <nacc> blinkblink: those are contradictory statements
[20:09] <nacc> blinkblink: is the file empty (you can probably see by its size in the terminal)
[20:10] <OerHeks> blinkblink, use 'sudo ' perhaps?
[20:10] <Surendil> atralheaven, yeap, try to: ps ax | grep apt
[20:10] <vfw> blinkblink: Are you actually using mate?
[20:10] <zteam> atralheaven, from your pastebin it looks like apt (or some tool using apt) has crashed
[20:10] <blinkblink> vfw: yes
[20:10] <vfw> blinkblink: ls /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter-ubuntu-mate.conf
[20:11] <vfw> blinkblink: ls -l /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter-ubuntu-mate.conf
[20:11] <vfw> blinkblink: What does it say?
[20:11] <atralheaven> Surendil: there are some processes
[20:11] <vfw> blinkblink: And what date?
[20:11] <blinkblink> DerHeks: used sudo and still the same..
[20:11] <atralheaven> Surendil: should I kill them? it shows only active processes?
[20:12] <blinkblink> vfw: ls: cannot access '/etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter-ubuntu-mate.conf': No such file or directory
[20:12] <nacc> blinkblink: ok, so the file doesn't exist yet, of course it's empty?
[20:12] <vfw> Mystery solved.
[20:12] <Surendil> atralheaven, it show active a dead processes, yeah, you could kill them and it should be working right up again
[20:12] <pavlos> blinkblink, it is 34 lines long, 1544 bytes
[20:13] <blinkblink> nacc: on the Menu and Control Panel the Lightdm+ icon is there!
[20:13] <blinkblink> pavlos: i worked on the file before but now cannot at all
[20:14] <nacc> blinkblink: what does the one have to do with the other?
[20:14] <nacc> pavlos: what were you basing that on? is that hte size on your system?
[20:15] <pavlos> nacc, yes
[20:15] <vfw> blinkblink: sudo find / -name lightdm-gtk-greeter-ubuntu-mate.conf -type f
[20:17] <Bray90820> Bashing-om: So it turns out that if I disable api i can get a massage about what the system does when t failed to boot

[20:19] <MetricStrat> hello
[20:20] <mistawright> hi guys i have an issue with apache2 on my ubuntu 12.04 server. I keep seeing that the my uri requests are too large and increasing the LineRequestLimit doesnt seem to be having an affect. can anyone help me resolve this error 414 issue?
[20:20] <ubuntu-mate> im gay
[20:20] <Bashing-om> Bray90820: UH huh .. and back to a kernel issue , yes ? verify the source .
[20:21] <Bray90820> I don't know how
[20:22] <Bray90820> Bashing-om:
[20:24] <Bashing-om> Bray90820: What I suggest is to md5sum (verify) the downloaded .iso file . and then boot that liveUSB to the boot options screen and select " check disk for defects ". Let us make syre that the doundation is firm .
[20:24] <Bashing-om> !md5sum | Bray90820
[20:24] <Bray90820> Bashing-om: the system is already installed
[20:27] <Bashing-om> Bray90820: Yeah .. but we canot be absolutely sure that the install medium was not corrupt .. and now have an inconsistent install . The failure of the system is before the graphic's driver is loaded .
[20:27] <Bray90820> Bashing-om: Alright
[20:28] <Bray90820> Would that mean that it's not a graphics issue?
[20:29] <Bashing-om> Bray90820: If the confirmation shows bad .. then yes .. for sure not a graphic's issue .
[20:29] <Bray90820> would the message I got a fe minutes ago suggest a non graphics issue?
[20:30] <Bray90820> *few
[20:31] <glitchd> hello all=)
[20:31] <Bashing-om> Bray90820: Not finding the root files .. is a initramfs ( init ram file system ) isssue that again may be related to the kernel .
[20:32] <Bray90820> Bashing-om: Well I did manually update the kernel after I installed ubuntu but I am receiving the same results on both kernels
[20:33] <Bashing-om> Bray90820: However, Eric did have you re-build the initramfs image . and we got no complaints !
[20:33] <Bray90820> So what does that mean?
[20:34] <Bashing-om> Bray90820: I do not know, I am just throwing checking the md5sum as something to do - and worth while - while we await wiser advisement of where the problem lies here .
[20:39] <Bray90820> So how would i check the live usb
[20:39] <Bray90820> Bashing-om:
[20:39] <Dorone> hows everybody doing?
[20:40] <Dorone> hexagon, Gort
[20:40] <Dorone> hows it going?>
[20:41] <[Gort]> bearably alright ;)
[20:41] <Dorone> I am new to this place.. how long have you been on here for?
[20:41] <glitchd> since the beginning.
[20:41] <glitchd> lol
[20:41] <Dorone> :D
[20:41] <Bashing-om> Bray90820: Boot up the liveUSB, as soon as the bios screen clears Language screen -> escape key to accept the default ->
[20:41] <Bashing-om> Booting options screen
[20:41] <[Gort]> I'm infrequent. First came here several years ago, but I'm not a regular. Pop in now and then.
[20:41] <OerHeks> hi Dorone do you have an ubuntusupport question?
[20:42] <Dorone> hi. thanks for asking.
[20:42] <[Gort]> ah, yeah... best keep on-topic ;)
[20:42] <metricstrat_> is there a history of uhd displays causing problems with Ubuntu?
[20:42] <Dorone> just wondering how might i get to view the 'list' of chatrooms
[20:43] <Bashing-om> !alis | Dorone
[20:43] <jim> Dorone, There is a bot, alis, that can assist you in looking for channels on the Freenode irc net. To start, /msg alis help
[20:43] <glitchd> Dorone, Server>View list of channels
[20:43] <k1l_> glitchd: that doesnt work on big networks since the list is too long
[20:43] <Dorone> thanks glitchd
[20:43] <glitchd> Dorone, Server>list of channels...
[20:44] <glitchd> k1l_, seems to work for me..
[20:44] <jim> Dorone, do you have any interest in linux?
[20:44] <Dorone> thanks ubottu
[20:44] <glitchd> Dorone, ubottu is a bot, not an actual person.
[20:45] <hambot> My HD is acting funny and I don't know why.  "The root filesystem on /dev/sda1 requires a manual fsck"
[20:45] <glitchd> Dorone, just an fyi=)
[20:45] <hambot> What do I need to do?
[20:45] <k1l_> hambot: fsck that disk from a live system
[20:45] <glitchd> hambot, sounds like u need to check the disk with fsck
[20:46] <jim> hambot, is it mounted read only at the moment?
[20:46] <glitchd> hambot, yea what k1l_ said
[20:46] <Dorone> yeah, im pretty new to linux
[20:46] <hambot> I don't have a live system to do that with.
[20:46] <Dorone> complete newbie
[20:46] <hambot> Can I use a USB live install to do this?
[20:46] <glitchd> hambot, a live system is one that is booted from a live cd or live usb
[20:46] <Dorone> lol i just thanked a bot haha
[20:47] <jim> they're easy to download... but... is your / partition mounted read only?
[20:47] <jim> Dorone, do you have linux installed?
[20:47] <Dorone> i am trying ubuntu
[20:48] <Bashing-om> hambot: Follow the advise and do that manual fsck .., preferred from a live medium . ' sudo fsck /dev/sda1 ' . see what results . - might be good to ' sudo fdisk -lu ' to make sure that sda1 is in fact the root partition .
[20:48] <jim> ok... what's the status of your installation? is ubuntu installed, are you in the middle of installing, which?
[20:49] <Dorone> i am stalling the complete installation
[20:49] <Dorone> just getting a feel for it as we speak
[20:49] <Dorone> running it off a usb stick
[20:49] <jim> is it running now?
[20:49] <jim> oh ok
[20:49] <jim> so you're running a live image of it
[20:49] <Dorone> yep
[20:50] <Bashing-om> hambot: " Can I use a USB live install to do this " desktop install, then yes .. that medium is refered to as the liveUSB .
[20:50] <jim> what do you have in the way of disk storage?
[20:50] <Dorone> limited storage haha\
[20:51] <vitimiti> I'm trying to run the ScreenStudio program in Ubuntu 16.04, and I get the error "java command not found". I've checked and, indeed, the java command isn't there, but I've installed every single openjdk-8* package. How can I fix this?
[20:51] <jim> ok... what are your plans around storage?
[20:51] <Dorone> once i fall in love with linux i might eradicate windows for good
[20:51] <glitchd> Dorone, you could always just install windows in a virtualbox inside linux
[20:52] <jim> you may wish to hold off on eradicating until you've replaced all the functionality -and- are comfortable with it
[20:52] <Dorone> will research into the virtual box
[20:52] <Dorone> thanks for the advice jim and glitchd
[20:52] <jim> if you have limited storage, do you plan on getting more?
[20:52] <Dorone> by the way just for interests sake. I am currently in Qatar
[20:53] <Dorone> actually this is an older laptop. i dont mind using this solely for ubuntu
[20:53] <Dorone> once windows is gone there should be enough space :D
[20:53] <jim> do you have other machines?
[20:53] <Dorone> yeah buddy
[20:54] <Bray90820> OerHeks: I should do check disk for defects right?
[20:54] <Bray90820> Wrong ping again
[20:54] <Bray90820> Bashing-om:
[20:55] <jim> ok, that would then take off the limits on eradication, especially if this isn't your main machine
[20:55] <Dorone> anybody looking forward to the next episode of Mr.robot coming out on wednesday?
[20:55] <jim> at least as it concerns the laptop you're running the live image on
[20:56] <Bashing-om> Bray90820: I always always do prior to attempting to install - even after I have verified the .iso image . Can save a lot of trouble later .
[20:56] <k1l_> !ot | Dorone
[20:56] <Bray90820> But that's what you were talking about earlier right?
[20:56] <Dorone> @jim: Yes sir/mam
[20:56] <Dorone> :D haha
[20:57] <jim> so, have fun
[20:58] <jim> btw there are 1t and 2t laptop drives now... they may be sata
[20:58] <Bray90820> :/
[20:59] <Bray90820> Bashing-om: found errors in 1 file
[20:59] <Dorone> hmm 1tb, 2 tb sounds mighty good
[20:59] <vitimiti> Never mind, I fixed it, it was a corrupt openjdk-9 install
[21:00] <Bashing-om> Bray90820: . .There ya go ! Guess what the next step is ?
[21:00] <Bray90820> Bashing-om: What I would like to figure out is what file had the error
[21:01] <Bashing-om> Bray90820: Way over my skill level  to figure out what the corrupted file might be .
[21:01] <rexwin_> how to find what files are installed with vsftpd?
[21:01] <Bray90820> Bashing-om: I was just wondering if there was some output of the check to something
[21:02] <Bray90820> *Or
[21:02] <b6s3d> hi where can i report a suspicious ubuntu paste bin link?
[21:02] <Bashing-om> Bray90820: Not that I am aware of .
[21:02] <k1l_> rexwin_: dpkg -L package
[21:02] <k1l_> b6s3d: suspicious?
[21:02] <b6s3d> it dosn't look clean, and i don't want to open the files
[21:02] <b6s3d> anyone who i can pm
[21:03] <OerHeks> b6s3d, maybe #ubuntu-ops can be any help
[21:03] <rexwin_> thans
[21:03] <rexwin_> thanks
[21:03] <OerHeks> b6s3d, you can trust k1l_ too, it is up to you.
[21:03] <Bray90820> Bashing-om: The reason i ask is because I am thinking it might not actually be an error I had to use a modified file to get the live usb booting and it might just throw out an error because of that
[21:03] <Bashing-om> rexwin_: <aube ' dpkg -L vsftpd " ?
[21:04] <hambot> OK I'm in a live boot now...and I need to fsck my HD in term.  What syntax do I need to use?
[21:05] <Bashing-om> Bray90820: You mean that you modified the liveUSB to permit the install ? then yes, I can then accept that the file system check could fail .
[21:06] <pulsar12> hambot, check the manpage for fsck
[21:06] <Bray90820> If it is throwing back the error on that file I will conclude that it is a dummy error
[21:06] <Bashing-om> nameless: Ya want to know the target ,, with no doubt - run ' sudo fdisk -lu ' and indentify the target partition , 1st .
[21:07] <Bashing-om> hambot: Ya want to know the target ,, with no doubt - run ' sudo fdisk -lu ' and indentify the target partition , 1st .
[21:08] <Bray90820> Bashing-om: Would it throw back an error if it was missing a file?
[21:09] <Bashing-om> Bray90820: I would think that in that event of a missing file the checker would say so rather than advising of a corrupt file .
[21:09] <Bray90820> Because what I actually did was I removed a file and replaced it with a file of a different name

[21:14] <freelancerbob> need help
[21:14] <Guest3076> :(O
[21:14] <freelancerbob> my external disk seems corrupted
[21:14] <freelancerbob> i just run testdisk
[21:15] <freelancerbob> but i do not know what to do next
[21:15] <metricstrat> is there a recurring issue with Ubuntu and uhd screen resolutions?
[21:15] <Bashing-om> Bray90820: Someone with the freater -again - experience is going to have to rescue us . I do not know .
[21:16] <tomreyn> freelancerbob: how did you determine that something is broken, how did you run testdisk (which commandline) and what is the output?
[21:16] <Guest3076> e
[21:16] <tomreyn> !pastebin | freelancerbob
[21:17] <Bray90820> Anyone else know how to get a verbose output of check disk for defects?
[21:17] <tomreyn> Bray90820: what is "check disk"?
[21:17] <Guest3076> how to use vidalia of backbox thanks
[21:18] <tomreyn> Guest3076: not supported here, as you have been told.
[21:18] <k1l_> Guest3076: we cant support backbox in here. please ask their support
[21:18] <Bray90820> tomreyn: Check disk for defects in the live disk
[21:18] <freelancerbob> tomreyn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23175346/
[21:19] <freelancerbob> tomreyn: when i put it into windows PC it do not find it
[21:19] <Bashing-om> Bray90820: While we wait, as this is a 32 bit processor (atom) right ? Why not try lubuntu ( force pae ) : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2211590 and see if the liveUSB boots up with no mods ?? I have installed this a couple of times on 32 bit systems .
[21:19] <tomreyn> Bray90820: please descibe more closely what you did or what you are trying to do, why, and what the overall goal is in doing it.
[21:19] <freelancerbob> i tried it put into linux and run command testdisk
[21:20] <Bray90820> tomreyn: when I run check disk for errors it says errors on one file and I wanna know what file has the error
[21:21] <Guest3076> tom reyn oki as you use backbox I'm new on systema backbox
[21:21] <tomreyn> freelancerbob: did this disk ever work fine for you? if so, what happened which may have made it not work?
[21:22] <OerHeks> Guest3076, you are in the wrong channel, this is ubuntu support, you want #backbox or something
[21:22] <metricstrat> why would ubuntu install hanging be solved by changing boot resolution?
[21:22] <freelancerbob> tomreyn yes it worked fine before, noting can't happened maybe, i was traveling
[21:22] <tomreyn> Bray90820: can we see the command yuo are running and the output it provides?
[21:22] <earl0> Anyone know how I can get my Asus PCE AC68 running on 16.04... google doesn't seem to be much help... only old articles
[21:22] <Bray90820> tomreyn: you seem to now know what check disk for defects is so I will wait for someone else
[21:23] <metricstrat> whats the problem @earl0
[21:23] <metricstrat> dang
[21:23] <freelancerbob> tomreyn: do you know some investigation commands ? i can try it and paste output here
[21:24] <Bashing-om> hambot: How ya doing .. looking good ?
backbox and based on ubuntu
[21:24] <hambot> It's going good bashing-om thanks
[21:25] <Bashing-om> hambot: :)
[21:25] <DArqueBishop> Guest3076: it doesn't matter. The Backbox people have changed it enough that the Ubuntu people cannot support it.
[21:25] <tomreyn> freelancerbob: your disk may have taken damage during transport. maybe try to investigate S.M.A.R.T. reports. you can install and use smartmontools for this purpose
[21:25] <DArqueBishop> It may be BASED on Ubuntu, but it is NOT Ubunti.
[21:25] <neyder_> hello
[21:26] <Grorco> anyone know of a graphical html designer for I can use on ubuntu?
[21:26] <tomreyn> freelancerbob: normally HDDs should alwys be expected to break at any time, which is why you should have complete, current, and recoverable backups.
[21:28] <neyder_> are there someone with multiseat knowledge?, I have a jetway motherboard with integrated raphics, and two video cards but only one GFX or IGP+GFX0 are enabled, how can i enable all three of them.

[21:31] <bobbyj0> I'm currently using the nouveau driver for my NVIDIA card... but moving windows etc seems to be a bit lagging. Is it worth using the propietary driver?

[21:37] <freelancerbob> or what i should do to fix it ?
[21:41] <zteam> Guest3076, under a normal Ubuntu installation Vidalia is supposed to work right out of the box (once you install it), so I would assume it would be the same under backbox
[21:44] <SupaYoshi> Hi, I'm trying to harden the security of my PHP7.0 FPM installation.
[21:44] <SupaYoshi> currently I have set my server to use a TCP scoket, for PHP7 FPM, i have  listen = <IP_ADDRESS>:9000
[21:44] <SupaYoshi> Instead of listen = /var/run/php7.0.sock e.g.
[21:45] <SupaYoshi> Now, I am reading a tutorial on how to setup a different user for each new site on the same server.
[21:45] <SupaYoshi> And It says, i should create a different sock for each new website.
[21:45] <SupaYoshi> However this website, contra dicts, that, https://serversforhackers.com/video/php-fpm-configuration-the-listen-directive
[21:46] <SupaYoshi> So I'm kind of.. reading it all trying to learn more. But I'm just wanting to ask someone with more experience, can I keep it like this, with multiple websites running? Or is it better to go ahead with the socket thing?
[21:46] <SupaYoshi> Because the TCP socket seems to be a much more easy solution.
[21:46] <freelancerbob> who can assist to me with testdisk
[21:47] <zteam> freelancerbob, what does disk utility says about hard drive?
[21:49] <vlad___> hey, any python experts here?
[21:49] <vlad___> I'm having some trouble with python3-dbg and numpy
[21:49] <vlad___> even after installing python3-numpy-dbg, I can't import numpy in python3-dbg
[21:49] <zteam> freelancerbob, also if your hardrive has physical errors, TestDisk would probably bee the wrong tool
[21:51] <freelancerbob> zteam: disk utility says: model,size,serial number, etc..
[21:51] <freelancerbob> zteam: hdd worke  few days ago
[21:51] <freelancerbob> d
[21:53] <freelancerbob> zteam: what i have to do then ?
[21:53] <k1l_> freelancerbob: can you tell us again what the general issue is?
[21:53] <zteam> freelancerbob, then you view your disk i Disk Utility it will say something like "Status Disk is okey" or "Status Disk bad sectors"
[21:54] <freelancerbob> k1l_:  i can access my external hdd, it wokred ok few days ok, then it stopped worked on windows, then it stopped worked on linuxs
[21:55] <k1l_> freelancerbob: ok, can you run "dmesg | nc termbin.com 9999" and show the output url?
[21:55] <freelancerbob> zteam: i do not have status field in disk utility
[21:56] <zteam> freelancerbob, select the disk and click the the right button in disk utility and select smart status, then upload a picture of that please :-)
[21:57] <freelancerbob> zteam: i am using lubuntu and there disk utility does not have this option
[21:58] <zteam> freelancerbob, it should have, do you see a button with lines on the right part of the window?
[21:58] <freelancerbob> k1l_: http://termbin.com/bqr3
[21:59] <freelancerbob> zteam: ok that option is gray, you can choose it for that disk
[21:59] <freelancerbob> seems that disk do not support smart
[22:01] <k1l_> freelancerbob: and now "sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 9999"
[22:03] <freelancerbob> k1l_:  i have data on my HDD, what parted -l will do ?
[22:04] <k1l_> freelancerbob: it will show the partition setup
[22:05] <freelancerbob> k1l_: http://termbin.com/mnzu
[22:06] <freelancerbob> k1l_:  WD Elements 10A8 that is my external hdd
[22:08] <bushdidit> anybody there ?
[22:08] <zteam> freelancerbob, well since your harddrive does have a couple of bad sectors, have you tried running checkdisk on that drive?
[22:09] <freelancerbob> zteam: tell me how, i tried run checkdisk on windows but it did not start
[22:09] <k1l_> freelancerbob: did you try another usb port?
[22:10] <zteam> freelancerbob, well the syntax for checkdisk is chkdsk D: /R
[22:11] <zteam> freelancerbob, (assuming your external drive is mapped to D:) also checkdisk needs to be run as administrator
[22:12] <k1l_> freelancerbob: also try a clean reboot from that system. seems like you did a standby inbetween
[22:14] <freelancerbob> k1l_: you mean reboot my system or windows on another pc ?
[22:14] <k1l_> i mean the ubuntu system
[22:14] <freelancerbob> zteam: i just tried chkdsk and did not start
[22:14] <freelancerbob> k1l_: ok give me minute
[22:15] <k1l_> freelancerbob: for how to sort things on windows better ask in ##windows
[22:16] <zteam> freelancerbob, no questions from checkdisk about the volume being opened or something?
[22:22] <freelancerbob> k1l_: reboot did not help
[22:22] <k1l_> can you plug it into that ubuntu machine again and then run "dmesg | nc termbin.com 9999" afterwards?
[22:23] <freelancerbob> k1l_: http://termbin.com/8luv
[22:24] <k1l_> freelancerbob: so what happens when you want to mount /dev/sdb1 in terminal?
[22:25] <freelancerbob> k1l_: you mean /dev/sdb no ?
[22:25] <freelancerbob> what is sdb1
[22:25] <k1l_> sdb1
[22:25] <k1l_> sdb1 is the 1st partition on that disk. which is the ntfs one
[22:26] <freelancerbob> mount: /dev/sdb1: No such file or directory
[22:26] <k1l_> well, did you check the smart parameters of that disk?
[22:27] <freelancerbob> k1l_: smart param are greyed and can't be run in disk utility
[22:27] <zteam> freelancerbob, you have to tell it where it should mount the file like disk: sudo mount/dev/sdb1  /media/usb
[22:28] <k1l_> freelancerbob: sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdb
[22:28] <zteam> freelancerbob, but before that you need to do sudo mkdir /media/usb
[22:29] <freelancerbob> k1l_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23175669/
[22:30] <freelancerbob> zteam: i have to try your command sudo mount/dev/sdb1  /media/usb ?
[22:31] <zteam> freelancerbob, yes, but you need to create the folder usb in media before with sudo mkdir /media/usb
[22:31] <OerHeks> sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdb1 # not sure it needs to be mounted
[22:33] <tomreyn> freelancerbob: your Western Digital Elements / My Passport (USB) disk *does* support S.M.A.R.T., as is reported by the output you posted earlier: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23175388/
[22:33] <tomreyn> and according to that it seems ot be physically fine.
[22:33] <zteam> OerHeks, I thought about that too, but from what I know, it just clears the dirty point and fix a few very basic things, I don't think it can handle things like bad sectors really well
[22:34] <k1l_> yeah, the smart parameters look ok to me. so i dont get what is wrong there.
[22:35] <Smn> anyone here that could help me load streams in the browser with mpv? I tried using this https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Browser_plugins#MozPlugger (this procedure should be distro agnostic)but I didn't get any results
[22:35] <freelancerbob> zteam: sudo mount /dev/sdb1  /media/usb mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist
[22:35] <tomreyn> freelancerbob: there can be logical errors, though, meaning file system errors, or partitioning errors. Which kil has recently tried to help you diagnose.
[22:36] <k1l_> zteam: the hardware sector reallocation is 0. so hardware should be ok in that way.
[22:38] <zteam> k1l_, I may be wrong here but, are you supposed to read the raw value? the value is 200, from what I read
[22:39] <OerHeks> If this ext hdd works under windows, then it is infected.
[22:40] <freelancerbob> OerHeks: no it is not works under windows at the moment
[22:40] <temhaa> Hi
[22:40] <temhaa> I have this problem: http://askubuntu.com/questions/816982/missing-mouse-touchpad-options-ubuntu-16-04
[22:41] <k1l_> zteam: yes, the raw_value is the real count
[22:41] <temhaa> But I dont know how can I solution
[22:41] <temhaa> *do
[22:41] <tomreyn> did we get to see freelancerbob's parted -l output, yet?
[22:41] <zteam> freelancerbob, have u tried switching usb cable?
[22:41] <tomreyn> dmesg does not list any partitions on that disk
[22:41] <OerHeks> tomreyn, yes, some time ago, 1 500 gb ntfs partition
[22:41] <tomreyn> testdisk showed partitioon table inconsistencies
[22:42] <k1l_> tomreyn: freelancerbob> k1l_: http://termbin.com/mnzu
[22:42] <OerHeks> i suggested ntfsfix but not sure it needs to be mounted
[22:43] <tomreyn> thanks k1l_
[22:43] <zteam> k1l, okey so what's the other value about then?
[22:43] <tomreyn> for reference this was the testdisk output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23175346/
[22:43] <freelancerbob> zteam: yes i just switch USb cable, same situation
[22:43] <tomreyn> (i don't know which comomands were run there)
[22:43] <k1l_> tomreyn: well, now i see the sdb1 starting at 0B which means no partitiontable?
[22:44] <OerHeks> freelancerbob, do you have a usb2 port? worth a try to avoid usb3 culprit3
[22:44] <tomreyn> k1l_: right, i just realized that, too
[22:44] <tomreyn> so testdisk wouldn't be helpful anyways
[22:44] <k1l_> Partition Table: loop
[22:45] <tomreyn> so it's just: sudo ntfsfix /dev/sd
[22:45] <tomreyn> so it's just: sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdb
[22:45] <tomreyn> ^ this
[22:46] <freelancerbob> OerHeks: i just switch it to USB2 port
[22:47] <freelancerbob> tomreyn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23175713/
[22:47] <zteam> if a parttiontable is missing TestDisk would write a new one in no time at all
[22:47] <k1l_> ok, this looks like the ntfs partition is put raw on the bare metal of that disk (which seems common on usb pendrives and some usb disks)
[22:47] <OerHeks> oke, just a thought, missed that i guess.
[22:48] <tomreyn> so i'm not familiar with ntfsfix, but this output doesn't seem to look very good.
[22:49] <tomreyn> still, you could try to mount it on windows again now
[22:50] <freelancerbob> tomreyn: Unable to determine volume version and state. CHKDSK aborted.
[22:51] <tomreyn> :-/
[22:51] <tomreyn> personally, i can't think of other options right now
[22:52] <tomreyn> it's possible that running testdisk on this disk (which does not have partiton table) made things worse.
[22:54] <tomreyn> freelancerbob: be sure to try it on a different computer before you reformat and restore your data.
[22:54] <freelancerbob> tomreyn: i tried it on 2 computers, win7 both
[22:55] <tomreyn> freelancerbob: and neither worked? then i'd just reformat and restore the backups
[22:55] <freelancerbob> i have some data there
[22:56] <tomreyn> you could still try your luck with pattern based file recovery tools such as photorec and foremost
[22:58] <freelancerbob> ok do i have try photorec ?
[22:59] <tomreyn> that's not something i would do unless you don't have current backups (which you should have for any and all relevant data)
[23:00] <freelancerbob> tomreyn: i have many photose there, there is not any way hot to fix it without formating ?
[23:01] <OerHeks> photorec or testdisk, you will need 500 gb free space on a drive
[23:01] <OerHeks> and filenames might be gone, hand search and rename
[23:02] <zteam> has he tried running TestDisk to let it create a new partition table for parttion?
[23:02] <tomreyn> freelancerbob: if you lack backups, and you want to do disk forensics, read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery#Imaging_a_damaged_device.2C_filesystem_or_drive , then read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery#Extract_individual_files_from_recovered_image
[23:02] <tomreyn> zteam: we do not know
[23:02] <freelancerbob> zteam: no i dont try testdisk
[23:02] <zteam> that's what TestDisk is made to do :-)
[23:03] <k1l_> zteam: testdisk doesnt help here. some external disks come with no partitiontable but the partition on bare metal.
[23:03] <tomreyn> freelancerbob: you did run testdisk, based on the output you posted initally?
[23:03] <OerHeks> wait, are you victim of an encrypted hdd malware driveby??
[23:03] <k1l_> but hinestly: i would not touch that disk anymore before i would have done a dd_rescue backup image of it.
[23:03] <freelancerbob> tomreyn: yes that was just some analysis, then I ctrl+C
[23:04] <tomreyn> freelancerbob: i see, so it didn't make any changes.
[23:04] <tomreyn> OerHeks: would those break the file system?
[23:04] <zteam> OerHeks, if he was he would probably know :-)
[23:05] <freelancerbob> OerHeks: no i am not victim
[23:05] <OerHeks> Well, as the drive is pretty new, no hw failure and magic does not work to restore ntfs.. just a thought
[23:06] <freelancerbob> i can run testdisk but seems you wrote it will not help
[23:07] <k1l_> freelancerbob: do you have 500GB diskspace somewhere else?
[23:07] <tomreyn> my understanding so far (i admit i have not folowed it closely lately) is that those encrypting malwares would encrypt only document files. one of them also locks up windows in the end, and only shows a message at boot. but they surely have a need to display a message and not break the file system entirely.
[23:07] <freelancerbob> k1l_: yes
[23:07] <zteam> never heard of it before, but TestDisk is supposed to be able to work with broken partition tables, however one thing worth nothing, Ubuntu likes a restart after fiddling with partitions before they show up correctly
[23:08] <k1l_> freelancerbob: then i recommend you to make a image of that disk now, before you start changing things
[23:08] <freelancerbob> i can what is good soft for making image
[23:08] <tomreyn> i'm with k1l there
[23:08] <k1l_> dd_rescue
[23:08] <zteam> ddresuce
[23:08] <tomreyn> which is why i posted those two links above
[23:09] <k1l_> it makes a 1to1 image.
[23:09] <zteam> I would highly recommend Gnu ddrescue before dd_rescue (these are 2 different software packages)
[23:10] <zteam> well, time to sleep, good night my friends :-)
[23:10] <freelancerbob> zteam:  me too, where you from ?
[23:11] <Robin___> what exacly does the &-sign do in terminal? for example: find /usr &
[23:11] <zteam> freelancerbob, Sweden
[23:11] <zteam> freelancerbob, u?
[23:11] <jelly> Robin___, one & and two && do different things
[23:11] <tomreyn> Robin___: it puts the process into the background
[23:12] <freelancerbob> zteam, k1l_ , tomreyn , OerHeks : thanks you i am going continue tomorrow, time for sleep now
[23:12] <freelancerbob> zteam: slovakia
[23:12] <tomreyn> Robin___: use 'fg' to bring it back
[23:12] <tomreyn> freelancerbob: welcome + good night
[23:12] <zteam> freelancerbob, okey, :) you are welcome :-)
[23:12] <Robin___> but what exacly am I finding when I do: find /usr &
[23:13] <tomreyn> Robin___: the same as you would without the trailing &
[23:13] <tomreyn> Robin___: it is a control character which is interpreted by your shell, and not passed to the find command as an argument
[23:13] <k1l_> Robin___: the & at the end will make the process run in background and will bring you a new prompt.
[23:14] <Robin___> ok thanks :)
[23:14] <Guest52289> those encryption malware are easy to defeat if you get to it quickly and don't make changes to the disk and just do a volume shadow copy recovery. there are a few around many dont restore the dir structures just the documents etc
[23:16] <tomreyn> Guest52289: so you're saying there are some which do destroy the directory structures? which ones would that be?
[23:17] <Guest52289> i cant recal the name of it but do a google search on recovering files from volume shadow copy and you should see dozens or more refferances but most dont restore file system structure they just pull out the files. just get what you want and put them back into ur docs folder when done
[23:18] <Guest52289> best to take drive out and put it in clean machine and just do the rtecovery dont copy stuff or access stuff on it
[23:19] <tomreyn> i still don't think any of them would break the file system, it's against the attackers' interests.
[23:20] <tomreyn> anyways, offtopic, i guess.
[23:21] <Guest52289> im talking about just getting the decrypted version of documents before the malware got to it. shadow copy means it writes to new place on disk and updates pointer to it and keeps a recored of the old data the shadow copy. helps to recover from corruption intentional or otherwise
[23:22] <Guest52289> each write means the last write is the shadow copy and the old shadow copy is lost to the free list
[23:30] <rexwin__> when I try to put a local file to remote server through sftp it gives remote open("/home/ftpuser/filename.txt"): Permission denied
[23:30] <Ben64> can you elaborate
[23:31] <bekks> So you dont have permissions to create that file on the remote server.
[23:33] <rexwin__> i login using filezilla as sftp user username with the password and it displays all the folders in root file system. why is it so?
[23:33] <rexwin__> I want only the /home/username to be listed.
[23:34] <Ben64> you can browse to /home/username, depending on the client you can set it to start in /home/username
[23:34] <Ben64> or, you can chroot
[23:35] <rexwin__> how to enable chroot in sftp, I know you can enable it in vsftpd?
[23:35] <Ben64> it's more trouble than it's worth, imo
[23:48] <yosvany> hola
[23:49] <rexwin__> I followed this yet I can see the entire file system of my vps why? https://www.linode.com/docs/tools-reference/tools/limiting-access-with-sftp-jails-on-debian-and-ubuntu
[23:52] <pingwindyktator> Hey! I;ve got problem with my gtx 1070 drivers. I just installed geforce drivers but now, screen connected right to MB is now visible
[23:52] <bazhang> installed how and from where pingwindyktator
[23:54] <k1l_> the 1000 nvidia cards do need the ubuntu video drivers team ppa, at least
[23:56] <pingwindyktator> bazhang:    41  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
[23:56] <pingwindyktator>    42  sudo apt update
[23:56] <pingwindyktator>    43  sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
[23:56] <pingwindyktator> sorry for that
[23:57] <pingwindyktator> drivers works correctly I guess - screen connected to gpu is visible. but another one is not
