Gonna have to drop out of Gnome Shell D:
I like the Ubuntu set up, but gosh this thing is sluggish
 
yayyy
got Adaptive Brightness working
 
12:42 AM
@Videonauth Sorry, no idea what comment you mean.
 
12:58 AM
the one from that U&L post
 
@TheWanderer Oh. Well, that is what the OP is asking for.
 
apt purge ... will remove apt
 
Yes.

No
OP wants apt to remain
 
@TheWanderer Oh! Good heavens, that isn't supposed to be taken literally. Or, at least, that's not how I took it. It just means the "solution" is to use apt purge. You mean they're actually suggesting apt purge ... with the dots? I thought that was an ellipsis.
 
1:03 AM
nope
OP is taking it literally
 
OH well. You've left them a comment. And they want to crash their system anyway. But OK, I'll delete.
Gone.
 
woosh
 
So, for that matter, am I. G'night!
 
alright

Q: Ubuntu 16.04 - Stuck at login screen

my7hSo I know there are a ton of questions that have been answered about this, but a lot of those answers don't seem to work for me. To start off, what led up to this was that my alarm was going off, and in my rush to turn it off, I must've done something to the plug and the pc turned off (Yikes). ...

 
2:44 AM
But not works for me. Could anybody help me?
I have Teletalk modem with teletalk sim and I am in Bangladesh.
 
3:22 AM
Not sure what to do with this: askubuntu.com/review/suggested-edits/787768 ... on the one hand, I'd usually reject a edit comment with profanity in it... but the poop is going to remain in the post history anyway.

Q: Why does SSH kill the colour in my /etc/update-motd.d/ script when force_color_prompt=yes is set in ~/.bashrc?

RouthinatorI have an MOTD script installed in /etc/update-motd.d that works properly, however it seems that SSH bleeds out the colour.

Anyone know which timezone Steam uses for releasing games?
There's a game coming out on the 20th and I'm not sure which "midnight" I have to wait for :P
 
6:16 AM
man, that's the worst
 
I see reviews starting to pop up.
But it's still waiting to be released here.

Q: How I can remove multiple files with similar prefix and different suffix?

markosGRIBFILE.AAD GRIBFILE.AAE RIBFILE.AAF I am using shared linux workspace?

 
12:17 PM
WTF, something is wrong here...
My 16G RAM are full plus another 6GB swapped out o_O
This machine seems to have been busy over my lunch break
 
uhhm nautilus too being a memory hog? that does not seem right somehow.
 
12:33 PM
Especially hud-service
Killed both now before running out of swap
System breathes again.
 
hehehe still that treats the symptom, but not the cause, do the logs give away anything?
 
Any specific log?
 
i would start with syslog
anything caused them to grow this exponential
not sure if the logs give away something but since you can narrow down the timeframe within this happened you might be able to get some information if they logged their activity
 
Syslog is indeed full with rabbitvcs exceptions...
I guess I should purge that again
It's a git extension for Nautilus, which doesn't seem to work well with many huge repositories in the file system...
 
:) theres the cause
 
12:39 PM
Heh, thanks for getting me to investigate instead of ignore :P
 
you're welcome
maybe bug report it on the extension if it is from the main repos, so it can be fixed
ubuntu-bug <package-name>
 
Eh, if anything then manually
a) purged already, b) I dunno what kind of info ubuntu-bug publishes, and this is a company machine
 
you can mark bug reports that might contain sensitive information, then only a specific group will have read rights on that report. but ok
you can preview the information which gets attached tho, but i understand your concerns
is the history command a shell built-in?
history is a command that cannot be run with sudo, since it's a shell builtin, and not an external executable at all. You should look up auditing instead of this. — muru 46 secs ago

Hello :)
 
hello @cl-netbox, good day to you
 
well if they would have stuck to legacy BIOS systems this would not even be a problem ;)
 
@Videonauth Good afternoon to you ! :) Have you seen the warning I posted ?
 
@cl-netbox yep i did
 
1:13 PM
@Videonauth unbelievable - right ?
 
@cl-netbox not unbelievable when i think of lenovos latest innovation to lock some of their laptop models to be only used with windows
surely a mess up in their hardware, even a EFI bios should not corrupt hardware
 
@Oli Congratulations from me too for reaching 200K reputation ... cool - great job ! :)
3
@Videonauth Well, I think no system ever should be able to damage a machine completely ... it could happen even to the most professional users ... not funny at all !
 
@cl-netbox well i have grown up in a time where not parking your HDD did screw you up bad times ;) and where no safety measure where taken to not act on hardware
 
Does everyone pinging @Oli get a star now? (congrats btw. :D )
2
Eh...
It isn't even 200k yet, actually
199,968
Oli ♦, England, United Kingdom
200k 74 503 719
Only the rounded version says 200k
 
1:28 PM
@ByteCommander he was at 200.008 before midnight UTC
 
Then let's give him the rest @ByteCommander @Videonauth ... serial voting required ! :D :D :D
 
Ah... bountied something?
 
guess the upvotes @Rinzwind casted got reversed
 
cough cough pls no
Let's not summon our friend Shoggy, kay?
 
ehh
@Oli can do it!

Also, its an essential part of any milestone to be one rep short, and wait agonisingly for it to happen

1:36 PM
Yeah. Never sit down and say "I'm going to get 200 rep today" or something. You'll want to claw your eyeballs out in a few hours.
 
1:49 PM
uhm is there a way of easily telling how many lines are in a file? (ascii)
 
there's a command for that..
wc -l I think
 
to late the question got already two answers :/
 
2:02 PM
well posted my answer anyways but i don't think it will be seen
@ByteCommander gnah this question stinks ;) he first accepted my answer then switched :P
 
/shrug
 
@ByteCommander it was 200,008 when I checked yesterday…

Q: How to combine local and iscsi disk in multipath?

ikudykI use two Ubuntu 16.04.03 under VirtualBox environment to test the possibility of local + iSCSI exported disk multipathing (e.g. to make multipath redirect IO in case one SAS cable is broken). I have real disks with SAS ports from both sides (which is easily emulated in VirtualBox by connecting o...

 
@Videonauth Is there a special reason you escape %? Is doesn't need to be quoted normally…
 
@dessert yeah there is and i got used to it, when you use date inside crontab you need to escape it
so i got used to escape it anywhere :)
 
2:18 PM
Good afternoon @dessert ! :)
 
@Videonauth And again I learned something. :)
 
yes but true normally you not need to escape it, i simply got used to it somehow :)
 
@cl-netbox hi!
@Videonauth well it does no harm, I just wondered…
 
00 07 * * * /bin/tar -cPaf /home/michael/backup/wordpress/"$(date +\%Y-\%m-\%d)"-wordpress.tar.gz /home/server/videonauth.dyndns.org 2> /dev/null

can you imagine how many headache those two lines caused me at the beginning? :)

@Videonauth D:
 
It was actually. He lost 60:
 
Hi terdon :)

There. I just pushed him to 200k.

@terdon good idea ... well done ! :)
now he's back where he was before :)
 
@terdon We need THIS starred!

Is it possible to combine X Forwarding and screen to let a GUI application run on the server and get the GUI back when connecting with the remote machine again later?
Ah, this seems to speak about it: blog.nelhage.com/2010/05/using-x-forwarding-with-screen – but the code is eight years old…
 
4:03 PM
In computing, Virtual Network Computing (VNC) is a graphical desktop sharing system that uses the Remote Frame Buffer protocol (RFB) to remotely control another computer. It transmits the keyboard and mouse events from one computer to another, relaying the graphical screen updates back in the other direction, over a network. VNC is platform-independent – there are clients and servers for many GUI-based operating systems and for Java. Multiple clients may connect to a VNC server at the same time. Popular uses for this technology include remote technical support and accessing files on one's work...
Use a vnc, it's designed for precisely this.
 
@terdon thanks, I'll look into it!
 
4:39 PM
kind of thinking this question should just get answered
(or maybe the current answer is "really good" as it claims haha)
 
@Zanna the only one really good at perl I think is @terdon
 
well feel free not to use Perl imho
Sergiy knows Perl well, as does Eliah Kagan afaik
 
Riiight, cause using whatever's new is "really good code".
Why wouldn't be answered? Are people voting to close as off topic again?
 
@terdon well yes :P
 
4:43 PM
but maybe it is not very clear... I mean, we can sed the "value" after rock= trivially, but do they want everything between = and the next non-word character, or do they need a solution that can do math? IDK, so I'm not going to post that trivial sed answer
 
must ... resist ... to coment: :D
 
I pushed it out of the review queue. If people want to close as unclear, they should vote accordingly.
 
@terdon annoyingly yeah "homework is off topic" kinda votes. I am going to come up with some awesome temptatious questions that everyone will want to answer and write <sub>btw, this is my homework</sub> at the bottom and see if they get closed
 
true that
 
@Zanna MANIPULATION
 
4:45 PM
heh
 
@Zanna How did this guy get to 4k rep with answers like that?
 
@Zanna oh dear :P playing advocati diaboli here?
 
Yes "playing" >:D
 
@dessert you can ask him in chat in about 12 days or so when is suspension runs out :P
 
@Videonauth no thanks…
 
4:47 PM
@TheWanderer :P XD
 
OK, answered.
 
thanks :D
 
@Videonauth wat
 
@TheWanderer he got suspended from chatting for 14 days because he was not behaving ;)
I'm actually trying to wrap my head around a problem I'm facing right now i want to make a script which packs up log files in an archive (thats the easy part) but i want to name the archive according on the first and last line in the log. But can't wrap my head around it how to get the information I want from that lines.
 
wow terdon, well done Perl

@Benny Nothing beats perl for text parsing.
@Videonauth What do you want from those lines?
 
expected archive name: logfiles-2017-01-21-14:53:49-til-2017-12-20-16:17:50
maybe i should write a question on Ask Ubuntu
 
maybe I can post an answer about lnav :) (but atm I don't understand what you want...)
 
ok writing a question, hope i can make it clear enough
 
@cl-netbox I set up a really nice Centos with minimal + mate. Boots to 380k ram, instead of of 1.5G that gnome was using.
 
4:59 PM
@Videonauth Does it really need to be 2017-01-21 or will 21-Jan-2017 do?
Both are possible
What do you prefer?
 
its both fine, currently writing it as a question on AU

O.O

oh wow ....

AH, sorry, forgot the "logfiles"
 
well im nearly done with my question writing so you might want to put that as an answer.

@YoranJansen Please remove the SHOUTING!?!?!?!
 
ok
done
@terdon Done
 
5:07 PM
thanks
Could you also fix the various typos etc.? It reads as though your question was "vomited" by the same process you are complaining about. Then, explain what you are trying to do, what exactly gives the errors and when, what version and flavor of Ubuntu you are running etc. As it stands, I don't really understand what the poroblem is.
Are those errors what you see when running vlc?
Does vlc actually run or not? Can the errors be ignored?
 
y7es
yes*
 
Also show the output of dpkg -l | grep ^qt so we can see what you've installed.
 
everything including qt .. as mentions sudo apt install qt*
 
Excellent. Thanks.
@YoranJansen Yes, but we need to see what that did.
 
sure?
 
5:09 PM
For example, you question mentions q5* and I have no way of knowing if that's a typo, or if you actually tried to install q5* or what.
 
qt5*
 
@YoranJansen That's why we need to see the dpkg output. The apt output might also have worked but that's harder to get to.
 
ok please wait
 
Is this running in a virtual machine?
 
5:11 PM
OK, so the virtualbox is something else that complains about qt?

Q: How to get specific information from two text lines and assemble a filename from that

VideonauthI am currently writing a script to archive a couple log files and want them combined in a single archive which is named according to the first and last lines date and time in one of the log files (i.e. access.log). But for the best of me I can't wrap my head around how to get this information fr...

 
yes
the entire output is excatly: ""
hello?
@terdon hello?
 
@YoranJansen You're a bit pushy, aren't you?
@YoranJansen The output of what, exactly?
Ah, that's because I gave you the wrong command, like an idiot!
I meant this:
dpkg -l | grep -P "^i.*\sqt"
 
@terdon because i need these apps
ii libkf5dbusaddons-bin 5.38.0-0ubuntu1 amd64 class library for qtdbus
ii libkf5dbusaddons-data 5.38.0-0ubuntu1 all class library for qtdbus
ii libkf5dbusaddons5:amd64 5.38.0-0ubuntu1 amd64 class library for qtdbus
ii qt-at-spi:amd64 0.4.0-5 amd64 at-spi accessibility plugin for Qt
 
Yeah, doesn't look like you have the qt libraries installed. Add all this to your question and I'm sure someone will be able to help.
 
5:19 PM
@chaskes cool ... that's impressive :)
 
i will try to do the apt again?
 
Not me though, I have to rush and do last minute xmas shopping. sigh.
 
@terdon i let the question stand for a bit, maybe it gets a few more answer :) +1 from me anyways already (will accept the best one in about 24 hours)
 
how the heck did that get messed up like that Yoran o_O
 
i dont know
i think ubuntu 17.10 has a bit of aids coming to the installations, talking about qyt and the bootlaoder
 
5:23 PM
you said this is a freshly installed system?
 
17.10?
how did you install vlc?
 
sudo apt install vlc*
 
Okay, first thing. Do not use stars in apt commands unless you really really know what you're doing.
 
but dont i install everything that vlc has so i also get the deps?
 
5:24 PM
erm is this about VLC from daily-master?
i.e 4.0.0 ?
 
it is from standard?
VLC media player 2.2.6 Umbrella (revision 2.2.6-0-g1aae78981c)\
 
@YoranJansen no.
 
you install every package that starts with vlc. Probably harmless in this case, but it can get really messy fast. e.g. your qt* commands would totally muck things up in all likelyhood (which is probably why you got errors)
Dependencies are pulled in automatically on a per package case.
 
i also tried doing sudo apt purge qt* and sudo apt install qt-sdk but no difference
 
5:27 PM
@YoranJansen it should have been : sudo apt install vlc
 
i just did sudo apt install qt* and now

dpkg -l | grep -P "^i.*\sqt" is:
ii libkf5dbusaddons-bin 5.38.0-0ubuntu1 amd64 class library for qtdbus
ii libkf5dbusaddons-data 5.38.0-0ubuntu1 all class library for qtdbus
ii libkf5dbusaddons5:amd64 5.38.0-0ubuntu1 amd64 class library for qtdbus
ii qt-at-spi:amd64 0.4.0-5 amd64 at-spi accessibility plugin for Qt
 
@YoranJansen facepalm. That was a really bad thing to do.
 
and virtualbox i just did sudo apt install virutalbox virtualbox-guest-additions
-sio*
iso*
@Seth what do you mean?
 
@YoranJansen Lots of things need qt libraries and you just tried to purge them all.
 
i will do sudo apt purge vlc and do sudo apt install vlc
 
5:28 PM
@YoranJansen why do you always add a star ?
 
oh yea.... wayland is dead too :)) didnt even use it
@cl-netbox to be sure i get the deps
an the features
 
I don't think 17.10 comes with many (any?) installed by default, so you might have gotten lucky.
@YoranJansen yes, try that.
No stars. Just vlc.
 
i ran vlc after the no star an it says:

@YoranJansen completely wrong approach ! don't do that !
 
core libvlc: Vlc draait met de standaardinterface. Gebruik 'cvlc' om vlc zonder interface te gebruiken. means core libvlc: Vlc is running with the standard gui. use cvlc to run vlc withou gui
 
5:30 PM
@YoranJansen you just ran vlc alone
 
Hi Seth ! :)
 
hi!
 
how do you mean?
sudo vlc?
just kiddin
 
@YoranJansen no ! :D
 
@Seth ???
 
5:31 PM
sudo apt-get purge vlc && sudo apt-get install vlc
 
apt-get?? why
thats more typing :D
 
@YoranJansen unimportant - both works
 
ok
done
and now?
 
now what ?

yoran, you know if you type LC_ALL=C in terminal it will convert output to English? (I might be able to read it, some people here too with a bit of efford)
 
and how do i get it back to normal after?
 
close the terminal and reopen it
 
or restart the computer
this is a non permanent change
 
5:35 PM
@Videonauth or reinstall the system @YoranJansen ... :D :D :D
 
it didnt change anything
@cl-netbox no
so?
 
@YoranJansen hahaha ... was a joke ... though maybe it's necessary because you might have messed up too much ... :D
 
because when i installed the system and installed vlc and vbox it started with those errors
so it wont work

@YoranJansen maybe the stars you used messed up the basic installation.
 
5:38 PM
no because i installed everything aending with qt now so i have everything i removed
 
@YoranJansen does vlc launch or not ?
 
no

@YoranJansen have you seen this : hint: compile the qt4 plugin ? do you have qt4 or qt5 installed ?
 
boty
both*
and vbox? with: VirtualBox: supR3HardenedMainGetTrustedMain: dlopen("/usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox.so",) failed: libQt5Core.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
and what of qt can i remove after this because i have like 44 new qt icons :I
@cl-netbox ?
 
@YoranJansen To be honest, if that was my system, I would start over from scratch ... you messed up too much - better you make a fresh install of ubuntu. :)
 
5:43 PM
but here it is like almost midnight so i dont have time (actually i am to lazy)
but the problem started raw so that doesnt make any sens
sense*
 
@YoranJansen fixing the mess takes more time than a clean installation ... :)
 
so
if i reinstall vlc nor virtualbox will work because those are the reasons i did use qt*!
 
@YoranJansen you like stars - right ? :D :D :D
 
@YoranJansen when you install the system and the apps in a correct way everything will work fine. :)
 
5:45 PM
@cl-netbox 1
no because i now have qt* so it has its libs and deps and when i do vlc without * it still DOESNT WORK
@cl-netbox !
 
when you run sudo apt install vlc on a fresh system, all dependencies that are needed will get automatically installed alongside. :)
 
and when i purge vlc it well
woops enter
and when i purge vlc it will get removd so a vfresh vlc should work, also i have this problem on my other pc without qt* also 17.10
 
not necessarily

Is this question being reopened so that it can be closed as a dupe? If so, might be easier to mod-flag it... always difficult to find enough people to vote to close since re-openers can't vote to close even for a different reason
@AskUbuntuMeta +1!
 
@Zanna already acted on this one
 
@Zanna I'll flag it
 
@cl-netbox I need 25k ( a bit less already and we still got 1.5 week to go) and made 30.1k this year so it might happen in october next year
 
@Rinzwind I think it won't take that much time ... :)

@RolandiXor why not simply start the terminal directly with a command like this: gnome-terminal -- htop

This legit?
The "confirm email" link points to whoisaccuracy-portal.networksolutions.com/…
And the sender is donotreply@networksolutions.com
Seems as legit as it could but seriously? We need to confirm email addresses now?
Oh. Apparently I also got one in 2015. Not new then :)
 
@terdon mhmm be carefull I would say (don't trust the rabbit), it somehow smells like a scam, or is that your hosting company?
if yes you should be able to simply go to their website and log in, i ususally tend to not use links provided in emails
 
@Videonauth It's network solutions, the domain registrar. They used to be the domain registrar.
If I remember correctly, you used to have to buy domains from them back in the 90ies.
 
@terdon weird, i never heard of em and theeir website does not look like a registrar authority networksolutions.com
 
Network Solutions, LLC is an American-based technology company founded in 1979. The domain name registration business has become the most important division of the company. By January 2009, Network Solutions managed more than 6.6 million domain names. In addition to being a domain name registrar, Network Solutions provides web services such as web hosting, website design and online marketing, including search engine optimization and pay per click management. == History == Network Solutions Inc.(NSI) started as a technology consulting company incorporated by Gary Desler, Ty Grigsby, Emmit J. McHenry...
 
and i have several .com and .de domains
so i would know if i would have to verify my information on them
 
7:56 PM
@Videonauth You won't be with them unless you've had them for many many years. Or not necessarily. They were the first, I think, to offer .com but that was in the 90ies.
> In 1992, NSI was the sole bidder on a grant from the National Science Foundation to further develop the domain name registration service for the Internet. In 1993,[3] NSI was granted an exclusive contract by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to be the sole domain name registrar for .com (commerce), .net (network) and .org (organization) Top Level Domain (TLD) names, a continuation of work NSI had already been doing.
NSI is Network Solutions.
So yeah, back in the day, if you wanted a .com, .org or .net, you had to go through them.
 
well use their website if they are your registrar you should find the same option to verify on their site if they do their buisness right
i have most of my com adresses since 2002 or so
 
Yeah, but that assumes I know the login details I used to set up my mother's professional website in the late 90ies. . . :P
 
and .de TLDs go through DENIC solely

Q: Should we ditch [glitch]?

ZannaSeems we have a tag glitch. This seems to me equivalent to having a tag bug. It could apply to issues of various types and with various causes. It seems unlikely that anyone will be especially interested in this tag or consider themselves an expert in it. Is there any justification for having t...

my actually rarest hat
 
@terdon ICANN has gotten weird at cracking down on domains recently.
