how to install the multimedia-codecs for ubuntumate 16.04?
Mathias 2017-01-31 09:49:23
does anyone have any idea why i can ping to the internet, but not use any other protocols?
EriC^^ 2017-01-31 09:49:27
rajivmars: sudo add-apt-repository multiverse && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
EriC^^ 2017-01-31 09:49:49
Mathias: maybe there's a firewall?
Mathias 2017-01-31 09:50:27
EriC^^: there shouldn't be, all other devices on the network can access internet fine
EriC^^ 2017-01-31 09:50:40
Mathias: try sudo iptables -L
rajivmars 2017-01-31 09:50:54
EriC^^, thanks:)
Mathias 2017-01-31 09:50:56
EriC^^: no rules there
EriC^^ 2017-01-31 09:51:03
rajivmars: no problem :)
ppf 2017-01-31 09:51:16
Mathias: how do you know other protocols don't work?
Mathias 2017-01-31 09:51:42
ppf: i've even tried to use iperf
Mathias 2017-01-31 09:51:50
it can access LAN too
ppf 2017-01-31 09:52:06
i meant what's the error
Mathias 2017-01-31 09:52:15
it just times out
rajivmars 2017-01-31 09:52:33
EriC^^, are these work in ubuntumate 16.04?
michaldybczak 2017-01-31 09:52:34

I'm trying to assign a static ip to ubuntu-server 14.04 - when I open my /etc/network/interfaces file iss almost empty except for "auto lo iface lo inet loopback" - but I'm still connected to the internet. is the network manager managing the connection?
ppf 2017-01-31 09:55:16
Mathias: nslookup google.com | pastebinit
Mathias 2017-01-31 09:55:31
dns works
ppf 2017-01-31 09:56:24
then what doesn't work ..
Mathias 2017-01-31 09:56:41
like trying wget, iperf, apt-get
ppf 2017-01-31 09:57:26
then paste the output of telnet google.com 80, please?
akik 2017-01-31 09:57:57
db09: if you get your network settings with "nmcli dev list", then yes for network-manager
Mathias 2017-01-31 10:00:30
ppf: telnet google.com 80 \n Trying 178.74.30.26...

W: The repository 'http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security Release' does not have a Release file.
Mathias 2017-01-31 10:00:40
and then another ip, and another

[twisti] 2017-01-31 10:12:35
ever since i installed LTS 16.04 on my machine, i have been experiencing multi second lag spikes. anyone got any idea how to best debug such an issue ?
SebthreeBQM10HD 2017-01-31 10:13:43
hi
bundeskanzler13 2017-01-31 10:14:48
i have a server with intel and i want install ubuntu. while it want konfig amd, it stoppt (15%) wat can i do?
nicomachus 2017-01-31 10:15:15
bundeskanzler13: start over.
bundeskanzler13 2017-01-31 10:15:36
i dit it 4 times
k1l_ 2017-01-31 10:16:18
bundeskanzler13: the 64bit iso is called amd64 because the 64bit patent is from amd, but intel uses the same technic.
bundeskanzler13 2017-01-31 10:16:45
i know, but id din't work
bundeskanzler13 2017-01-31 10:16:57
and i don't anderstand why it not work
k1l_ 2017-01-31 10:17:17
did you check the md5sum of the iso? how did you create the usb drive?
bundeskanzler13 2017-01-31 10:17:40
i did my USB prepare with YUMI
Nac44les 2017-01-31 10:19:18
Hi
bytesaber 2017-01-31 10:21:35
Anyone with experience running a copy of Ubuntu's repo locally? I am wondering if it would be difficult to remove i386 from it. I think that I may have messed it up some. An Ubuntu work station attached to it, is claiming it can't find i386 packages. Yet it's an amd64 based install.
genii 2017-01-31 10:24:00
!multiarch | bytesaber
genii 2017-01-31 10:24:04
Hm
genii 2017-01-31 10:25:18
bytesaber: 64 bit can still use 32 bit apps and libraries, Ubuntu has had multiarch for a while now ( I believe since 12.04)
OerHeks 2017-01-31 10:25:51
what would you gain, removing i386 packages on a private mirror?
OerHeks 2017-01-31 10:26:29
now you find out the hard way that you still want i386 packages/libs
db09 2017-01-31 10:29:31
hi im trying to assign a static ip to ubuntu server 14.04. Network Manager was managing my internet connection, so I disabled it because I want to use /network/interfaces. i've lost connection to the net - any help trying to regain connection deeply appreciated
Onepamopa 2017-01-31 10:31:28
db09, do you have IPMI on the server ?
zenguy 2017-01-31 10:31:48
hi how do you upgrade a kernal in ubuntu 16.04.1 to the latest?
k1l_ 2017-01-31 10:32:09
zenguy: why and to what kernel?
zenguy 2017-01-31 10:32:37
just to keep updated and the latest stable release
Onepamopa 2017-01-31 10:32:44
zenguy, apt-cache search linux-image then apt-get install linux-image-xyz linux-headers-xyz
k1l_ 2017-01-31 10:32:45
zenguy: you will get the 16.10 backports kernel (4.8) in some days when 16.04.2 is released. see !hwe
zenguy 2017-01-31 10:33:05
!hwe
ubottu 2017-01-31 10:33:05
The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack
Onepamopa 2017-01-31 10:33:07
Im already on 4.8.x
k1l_ 2017-01-31 10:33:14
zenguy: ubuntu works on the LTS kernel and does update that version with all the security patches
zenguy 2017-01-31 10:33:41
cool k1l_ thank you :)
k1l_ 2017-01-31 10:35:26
Onepamopa: its better to use the linux-generic-hwe-16.04-edge package. since in some months that kernel you installed doesnt get any more updates and you need to change to manually
k1l_ 2017-01-31 10:35:50
Onepamopa: look at the hwe page for more details
Onepamopa 2017-01-31 10:36:00
k1l_, in my case thats acceptible due to having to build custom modules each time the kernel updates
k1l_ 2017-01-31 10:37:06
Onepamopa: its your system, you can do what ever you like :) but keep in mind that users in here might not know and will come in here in one year arguing, that their 4.8 kernel doesnt get any important security updates anymore.
Onepamopa 2017-01-31 10:37:59
;)
Onepamopa 2017-01-31 10:38:12
he didn't specify security updates, he just asked for the latest kernel
k1l_ 2017-01-31 10:38:47
Onepamopa: if you keep reading in here you will know that this will happen :) just look at the amount of 15.04 machines that are still running :/
glache 2017-01-31 10:39:19
Would you date a transgender if she had a really nice personality but was born a male?
Onepamopa 2017-01-31 10:39:35
glache, no freaking way
k1l_ 2017-01-31 10:39:50
glache: this is not the right topic for this technical support channel.
glache 2017-01-31 10:41:13
Well she is really into computers. She's very technical. Great personality. Looks just like a girls. Sounds like a girl.
zenguy 2017-01-31 10:41:28
and needs a visa?

hello eveodyryb
laloune 2017-01-31 10:42:54
hello everbody
glache 2017-01-31 10:43:20
The buldge in her paints is a little strange though.
glache 2017-01-31 10:43:38
But her personality is great and she loves using Ubuntu.
k1l_ 2017-01-31 10:43:48
glache: again: this is not the channel for chatter. keep it to technical support only in here
glache 2017-01-31 10:43:56
ALright, sorry.
glache 2017-01-31 10:43:58
