hey
splash_wave 2017-01-30 10:46:33
im trying to install 4.10 Warty Warthog and in the installation I get cdrom cant be found
Bashing-om 2017-01-30 10:48:26
splash_wave: current release -LTS- is 16.04 . There will and is no support for 4.10 .
nacc 2017-01-30 10:48:32
splash_wave: uh, why would you be installing warty?
ppf 2017-01-30 10:50:07
MarkB2: and is everything working now?
MarkB2 2017-01-30 10:50:44
One moment.. on phone...

hi, I am using 14.04 remmina to connect to win server 2012 rdp
splash_wave 2017-01-30 10:51:25
I like using vintage stuff
protn 2017-01-30 10:51:30
I can telnet but remmina yet to work
splash_wave 2017-01-30 10:51:42
does Warty have SATA support or just IDE?
protn 2017-01-30 10:51:45
I tried rdp and all nla and negotiate
k1l 2017-01-30 10:52:09
splash_wave: warty is out of support long time. you will not get support for that anymore.
splash_wave 2017-01-30 10:52:26
i dont need support though
splash_wave 2017-01-30 10:52:31
i dont need updates and such
nacc 2017-01-30 10:53:22
splash_wave: you're in the support channel...
MarkB2 2017-01-30 10:53:47
ppf: Sorry. Boss calls up and wants something. The Intel 915 video is working nicely (I'm getting 1280 x 1024 out of it). But the NVidia interface isn't working right... because booting into that produces flashing purple displays.
MarkB2 2017-01-30 10:54:25
I should say, "Booting using that produces flashing purple displays".

how can i enable root to be auto logged in to the serial console? i followed this tutorial and it only got me a log in prompt :-( https://www.hiroom2.com/2016/06/06/ubuntu-16-04-grub2-and-linux-with-serial-console/
Bashing-om 2017-01-30 10:55:32
DiscountMilk: " only got me a log in
nacc 2017-01-30 10:55:36
DiscountMilk: why would you want to do that? seems incredibly insecure to grant root-level privilege to anyone with physical access?
Bashing-om 2017-01-30 10:55:46
prompt " is what a comsole interfasce is :)
DiscountMilk 2017-01-30 10:56:04
so with getty i can do a '-a root' and that gets an auto log in
DiscountMilk 2017-01-30 10:56:26
do not worry about why, this is what i want to do to my machines
DiscountMilk 2017-01-30 10:56:37
ive gotten it with 14.X versions of ubuntu
DiscountMilk 2017-01-30 10:57:00
this tutorial had me play with grub instead using /etc/init settings
nacc 2017-01-30 10:57:54
DiscountMilk: presumably you'd need to add an appropriate /etc/init/tty*.conf and rebuild the initrd (if i had to guess)
nacc 2017-01-30 10:58:10
DiscountMilk: that's what spawns gettys with systemd, iiuc
DiscountMilk 2017-01-30 11:00:16
mhmmm
protn 2017-01-30 11:00:19
any help with remmina?
DiscountMilk 2017-01-30 11:00:29
maybe #Gentoo will know
nicomachus 2017-01-30 11:02:22
I'm pretty sure the Gentoo channel is on a separate server that has to be compiled manually user-side
koffeinfriedhof 2017-01-30 11:03:09
:D
DiscountMilk 2017-01-30 11:04:00
hey at least they know shit. i come here and the first replies are always "actually you dont want to do that." yes. yes i do very much want to do the thing. im not somebodys mom setting up their ubuntu machine, im forced to use it in the env im in

DiscountMilk 2017-01-30 11:10:35
ah ubuntu 16 switched to systemd
DiscountMilk 2017-01-30 11:10:41
thats why
DiscountMilk 2017-01-30 11:10:51
ugh systemd is why i left arch for gentoo lol
EriC^^ 2017-01-30 11:11:12
you can run but you can't hide from systemd
ppf 2017-01-30 11:11:25
i think it's awesome. but that's a matter of taste
DiscountMilk 2017-01-30 11:11:28
horrid
DiscountMilk 2017-01-30 11:11:32
inittab ftw
DiscountMilk 2017-01-30 11:11:34
simple and it works
ppf 2017-01-30 11:11:34
(in comparison to gentoo)
DiscountMilk 2017-01-30 11:11:50
but looks like thats what i needed to know
DiscountMilk 2017-01-30 11:11:58
oh well, thanks

Hi
the_count 2017-01-30 11:18:03
hello! I installed KDE Plasma alongside Unity and then removed it, ever since, at any random interval, Unity is KDE themed, I have tried about everything, purging and reinstalling Unity, removing everything KDE related, but the problem persists.
Apachez 2017-01-30 11:19:51
when ubuntu 16.10 boots the first part (vmlinuz?) is regular text but once initrd fires up the resolution goes hires... is it possible to make the "vmlinuz" part also go hires during boot?
pavlos 2017-01-30 11:21:24
DiscountMilk, take a look at /etc/securetty
the_count 2017-01-30 11:26:59
Anyone?
akik 2017-01-30 11:32:22
the_count: did you remove all the kde packages?
Bashing-om 2017-01-30 11:32:33
the_count: Long fight with unity .. want to try and reset back to defaults ?
akik 2017-01-30 11:32:46
the_count: i had to go into the apt history log file and remove the packages listed there
the_count 2017-01-30 11:33:07
Bashing-om: :D I'm game I haven't really changed anything from defaults
the_count 2017-01-30 11:33:55
akik: I hadn't thought of that
Bashing-om 2017-01-30 11:34:12
the_count: well .. akik has the greater ecperience here . Might be nest to follow his advise and make sure all KDE files are removed .
the_count 2017-01-30 11:35:16
akik: Where do I find the apt history log file?
akik 2017-01-30 11:35:21
the_count: when i installed kde i installed the kubuntu-desktop meta package. then when i tried to remove the whole kde installation it only removed the kubuntu-desktop
akik 2017-01-30 11:35:31
the_count: /var/log/apt/
genii 2017-01-30 11:35:50
the_count: Also /var/log/dpkg.log
the_count 2017-01-30 11:36:10
akik: That's what I did as well, and then I did a purge of kde*, and it worked for a month maybe and now, it is popping up again
akik 2017-01-30 11:36:56
the_count: i think there could be some option to remove all the dependent packages also but i forgot
the_count 2017-01-30 11:39:12
THere is quite the list there: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23896236/
akik 2017-01-30 11:39:14
i think it could be "sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove package" ?
akik 2017-01-30 11:40:41
ah it's the --auto-remove
xubuntu62i 2017-01-30 11:40:52
Gello?
xubuntu62i 2017-01-30 11:40:59
Hello?
akik 2017-01-30 11:41:05
sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove package
the_count 2017-01-30 11:41:05
akik: It is no longer installed, and so, it isn't finding it
the_count 2017-01-30 11:41:42
akik: That's what I did
akik 2017-01-30 11:41:45
the_count: oh well but the file contains the installation information which you can use
xubuntu62i 2017-01-30 11:42:21
Does anyone know why when I download 64-bit Ubuntu they become corrupt? While 32-bit is okay...?
k1l 2017-01-30 11:42:41
xubuntu62i: change the mirror? did you check md5sum?
EriC^^ 2017-01-30 11:42:43
xubuntu62i: try a torrent
xubuntu62i 2017-01-30 11:43:06
They're all wrong. And I tried several mirrors
EriC^^ 2017-01-30 11:43:17
xubuntu62i: your isp might have a bad cache
xubuntu62i 2017-01-30 11:43:40
Maybe. I'll check soon but now I am on a VM installing Ubuntu
xubuntu62i 2017-01-30 11:44:13
Does anyone of you using Ubuntu on VM? How do you fix performance?
xubuntu62i 2017-01-30 11:44:20
VirtualBox of course
k1l 2017-01-30 11:44:39
install guest additions and give the VM more ressources
