tekisui 2017-01-26 20:45:40
whole system might go black soon :D
pendicol 2017-01-26 20:48:13
I'm connected to a server via SSH; How can I force the package manager to handle its traffic through that route?
pendicol 2017-01-26 20:48:23
ssh as a proxy
pendicol 2017-01-26 20:49:03
for web browsers it can be done simply by setting proxy on 127.0.0.1: and running ssh with 'ssh -D ...'
pendicol 2017-01-26 20:49:11
but what about 'aot'?
pendicol 2017-01-26 20:49:17
apt*
tekisui 2017-01-26 20:49:48
amai
tekisui 2017-01-26 20:49:56
ok am still alive
pendicol 2017-01-26 20:50:53
in other words, tunneling traffic of 'apt' over the ssh connection is possible?
tekisui 2017-01-26 20:51:07
i dunno
tekisui 2017-01-26 20:51:13
am happy i got sound with linux

what does this cryptic-looking command do?
distributed 2017-01-26 21:00:52
:(){ :|: & };:
alkisg 2017-01-26 21:01:24
distributed: it defines a function that spawns itself a lot of times and can be used for bombing
distributed 2017-01-26 21:01:45
bombing?
distributed 2017-01-26 21:01:59
like your computer blows up just by running a command?
alkisg 2017-01-26 21:02:02
distributed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fork_bomb
distributed 2017-01-26 21:02:03
sounds dangerous
alkisg 2017-01-26 21:02:14
No, it just wastes all the cpu so that your pc needs a reset
distributed 2017-01-26 21:02:18
o.k.
distributed 2017-01-26 21:02:54
then i should run this scriptomatically at boot on my mom's computer?
foddo 2017-01-26 21:03:33
No.
distributed 2017-01-26 21:03:46
why not?
distributed 2017-01-26 21:03:58
wont it then reset it when it boots or something?
bazhang 2017-01-26 21:04:56
lets get back to ubuntu support please
M4dH4TT3r 2017-01-26 21:10:22
ohh btw ikonia was just going to let you know i know what that display issue the other day was now, apparently nvidia drivers need to be explicitly defined in xorg.conf, besides that the only issue i still have with it is a known bug with uefi
_jyo_ 2017-01-26 21:16:27
hello, I am looking for some help to change the power settings on a ubuntu 16.10 install that will not boot
_jyo_ 2017-01-26 21:16:40
Would appreciate some help
cotin 2017-01-26 21:17:03
use Ubuntu 16.04 LTS _jyo
cotin 2017-01-26 21:17:38
16.10 are for "Ubuntu devs"
_jyo_ 2017-01-26 21:17:56
cotin, I need to retrioeve some data from this instal, I have an exam early next week
_jyo_ 2017-01-26 21:18:32
Intend to return to 16.04, but would prefer to do it after the exam I need the computer for a presentation.
cotin 2017-01-26 21:18:33
Well you could install 16.04 alongside 16.10 and you would be able to get any files you need.
_jyo_ 2017-01-26 21:19:02
I have tried to access the disk from a live usb, but it is encrypted
cotin 2017-01-26 21:19:10
ouch
cotin 2017-01-26 21:19:22
that is another problem yes.
_jyo_ 2017-01-26 21:19:26
I just need to change the power settings from the usb I think
cotin 2017-01-26 21:19:36
have you tried to start ubuntu 16.10 in recovery?
_jyo_ 2017-01-26 21:19:40
I have the key
cotin 2017-01-26 21:19:57
thats good.
_jyo_ 2017-01-26 21:20:00
it does the same when root is login
_jyo_ 2017-01-26 21:20:40
the ttys do the same to, this is caused by ACPI power settins change before last shut down
cotin 2017-01-26 21:20:45
before ubuntu boots try to hit F8 a couple of times and use the down arrow to select Ubuntu Recovery
alkisg 2017-01-26 21:20:45
_jyo_: and changing the power settings will make it boot?!
cotin 2017-01-26 21:21:08
Well start in recovery then!
_jyo_ 2017-01-26 21:21:18
cotin, it wont
cotin 2017-01-26 21:21:27
it wont start at all?
_jyo_ 2017-01-26 21:21:46
I can access the system files from a live usb, that was my thought at the moment
alkisg 2017-01-26 21:21:49
_jyo_: put "noacpi" in the cmdline, if you think it's an apci issue, but I doubt it
_jyo_ 2017-01-26 21:22:11
alkisg, at which point?
alkisg 2017-01-26 21:22:47
You press "e" in grub, and write it next to "quiet splash", and then press f10
_jyo_ 2017-01-26 21:22:55
cotin, it hangs at the command line the last line output is :[ ok ] Stopped User Manager for UID 1000.
_jyo_ 2017-01-26 21:22:58
[ ok ] Removed slice User Slice of .
_jyo_ 2017-01-26 21:24:08
alkisg, I was also looking at trying to stop the request for the password on awaking from suspend. It is to buggy for a presentation :/
alkisg 2017-01-26 21:24:21
You can do that once it boots
_jyo_ 2017-01-26 21:24:22
No I am really inn the @#$*
_jyo_ 2017-01-26 21:25:38
I think is is a bug in the GNOME settings that have tied a knot in the login process
alkisg 2017-01-26 21:26:02
gnome does not load until after login
alkisg 2017-01-26 21:26:14
So it can't be gnome settings prohibiting the pc from reaching the login screen
OlofL 2017-01-26 21:26:24
https://gist.github.com/sliddjur/47a50721bcde971ca2aab0d9cc1a1df9 how can I solve this? Can I just delete images in boot?
_jyo_ 2017-01-26 21:26:26
alkisg, but the settings were changed from GNOME
alkisg 2017-01-26 21:26:36
Then that's not what caused the issue
_jyo_ 2017-01-26 21:26:44
I think that it is a sill loop, which is making it block.
_jyo_ 2017-01-26 21:26:48
silly
_jyo_ 2017-01-26 21:27:32
such as disableing the need for a password request at login, when it has to have ome to decrypt, I am speculation
kernello 2017-01-26 21:27:32
hello everyone, what is the extension of text files?
EriC^^ 2017-01-26 21:27:53
kernello: it can be anything, extensions dont mean anything in linux
_jyo_ 2017-01-26 21:28:13
I had turned off and then on again the password settings in the personal account settings.
EriC^^ 2017-01-26 21:28:29
usually they're just extensionless or .txt, like README
kernello 2017-01-26 21:30:38
EriC^^ I need to enter the file extension in the command, that's why I need an extension.
_jyo_ 2017-01-26 21:31:08
alkisg, is there a way to copy the encrypted blob that is the home folder? And to open with the correct software from another machine?
_jyo_ 2017-01-26 21:31:23
I will just reinstall if I have the data
EriC^^ 2017-01-26 21:31:51
kernello: if it's an output file use whatever you want
EriC^^ 2017-01-26 21:32:24
_jyo_: you can use "encryptfs-recover-private" to open the home dir
EriC^^ 2017-01-26 21:32:49
* "ecryptfs-recover-private"
kernello 2017-01-26 21:33:40
EriC^^, ok, thank you1 :)
kernello 2017-01-26 21:33:49
thank you!*

cotin 2017-01-26 21:34:28
It says how to recover from LiveUSB
_jyo_ 2017-01-26 21:35:37
I have tried, I will look at this again
kernello 2017-01-26 21:37:45
EriC^^, it worked even without adding any extension at all :)
kernello 2017-01-26 21:37:56
as you said
EriC^^ 2017-01-26 21:38:00
kernello: great :)
_jyo_ 2017-01-26 21:41:04
cotin, EriC^^, that command fails ...
EriC^^ 2017-01-26 21:41:22
_jyo_: did you mount the partition that has the home dir?
_jyo_ 2017-01-26 21:42:20
EriC^^, it is mounted yes, I can see the folder and read the readme next to the folder
EriC^^ 2017-01-26 21:44:11
_jyo_: try sudo ecryptfs-recovery-private
EriC^^ 2017-01-26 21:44:13
*recovery
EriC^^ 2017-01-26 21:44:21
*recover
_jyo_ 2017-01-26 21:44:30
Last time I use any software that I do not understand fully ... :/
_jyo_ 2017-01-26 21:44:35
ok
cotin 2017-01-26 21:44:43
Good luck then.
