ducasse: I did try to set to xterm same message but "xterm"
Guma 2017-01-25 09:50:12
Not sure of this is a problem but 16.04 comes with ncurses 5.x and I am building my app ncurses 6.
Guma 2017-01-25 09:50:45
is there some compatibility issue or I have to move some files to target beside my binary?
ducasse 2017-01-25 09:52:47
Guma: i'm guessing you need terminfo
Guma 2017-01-25 09:55:11
ducasse: well I am building ncurses with --enable-termcap
ducasse 2017-01-25 09:56:04
Guma: are there termcap entries for xterm and xterm-245color?
Guma 2017-01-25 09:56:22
so everything build. Runtime is issue. Are are you refering to termcap config I need to move to target and where.
Guma 2017-01-25 09:56:34
I think they are let me check
Guma 2017-01-25 10:01:58
ducasse: I see only xterm+256color in /usr/share/terminfo/x/ So I guess xterm-256color is missing?
ducasse 2017-01-25 10:02:55
Guma: no idea, but this is not really within the scope of #ubuntu, try ##linux
Guma 2017-01-25 10:03:07
ok

Anyone has any experience with Intel Video Cards not getting higher then 1024x768 on a Ubuntu Gnome? I've been playing around with xrandr, where I keep getting "Configure crtc 0 failed" while I actually got the mode from running cvt. I also went to 01.org and downloaded update tool for Linux, which ran without a problem... I just can't get my monitor higher then 1024x768
codemann_ 2017-01-25 10:08:47
I'm starting to think that it's because it's currently connected with VGA, but when there are 2 screens on it at work, one is also connected with VGA and in Windows (pardon my french) it worked perfectly.
codemann_ 2017-01-25 10:09:15
I wanted to impress my boss with a nice Linux installation, it's not going that good so far :-)
MonkeyDust 2017-01-25 10:13:13
codemann_ i saved this quote, here, in #ubuntu ... 'you won't get a system that behaves the same way as a windows system.. linux has its own advantages and disadvantages.. you just learn to live with a different set of annoying things =)'
deus402 2017-01-25 10:13:27
so i have been having problems with randomly losing my ethernet connection, and i have finally caught it in the act, but i also don't necessarily see anything of note in my log files. i lost connection at exactly 14:36:06, here is my syslog: http://termbin.com/hkt4 and here is my kern.log: http://termbin.com/ecck at about 14:50 i clicked on the connection in the menu bar, which brings it back
deus402 2017-01-25 10:13:27
for some reason, which you can see happen in the kern.log at 14:49:31. can anyone shine any light on what is going on? seems to happen randomly without reason.
codemann_ 2017-01-25 10:14:08
MonkeyDust, I don't expect it to, just trying to figure out why it doesn't work :-)
deus402 2017-01-25 10:14:24
i am on 16.04 btw.
jnewt 2017-01-25 10:14:33
I got ubuntu mate installed on my computer and did the software updates. now i have no mouse pointer. i can see when things are higlighting when moving the mouse around, but no actual icon for the pointer
codemann_ 2017-01-25 10:14:41
Just got in the paranoid phase and I'm trying to replace my cable now ;-)
thanatos-inc_ 2017-01-25 10:14:49
deus402: 2 possible causes: faulty drivers or a power saving feature
k1l_ 2017-01-25 10:15:18
jnewt: can you change to a tty1 and back? ctrl+alt+f1 and then ctrl+alt+f7
codemann_ 2017-01-25 10:15:28
you are f**king kidding me
quint 2017-01-25 10:15:28
Is anybody familiar with setting up a split tunnel with more than one remote network?
codemann_ 2017-01-25 10:15:35
4h of my evening ON A BAD CABLE
quint 2017-01-25 10:16:05
that is, with the native pptp dialer
jnewt 2017-01-25 10:16:14
k1l_: ctrl+alt+f1 just froze everything
codemann_ 2017-01-25 10:16:15
The upside is... I learned a lot about configuring your video driver and screen
deus402 2017-01-25 10:16:16
thanatos-inc_: dmesg | grep eth http://termbin.com/mefy
deus402 2017-01-25 10:16:43
from my understanding the intel nics are heavily supported, so where would i start looking for power saving issues?
k1l_ 2017-01-25 10:16:56
jnewt: what video card is it? and what driver in use?
Bashing-om 2017-01-25 10:17:18
codemann_: :) .. but all smiles now .
Metalindustrien 2017-01-25 10:17:43
After 48 hours of attempting to get Ubuntu MATE installed on my MacBook Pro I'm really close to giving up... I've installed rEFInd, so booting from a USB Flash drive is not a problem, I've even succesfully made a flash drive with Ubuntu MATE 6.10 on it, and I can get to the GRUB bootloader and choose 'Try Ubuntu MATE live'. But after that I just get a black screen. I've tried waiting for HOURS but the screen remains
Metalindustrien 2017-01-25 10:17:43
black. What am I doing wrong here?
codemann_ 2017-01-25 10:17:54
Bashing-om, I'm smiling and crying at the same time, very weird feeling
jnewt 2017-01-25 10:18:23
k1l_: nvidia m2000, haven't been able to get any drivers from nvidia yet, I would like a mouse before i start trying to find drivers on their website
thanatos-inc_ 2017-01-25 10:18:26
deus402: I'm afraid, I have no idea :(
codemann_ 2017-01-25 10:18:31
When I considered the cable I was like... Nahhh, can't be it... But let's just try it out...
k1l_ 2017-01-25 10:18:44
jnewt: no, ubuntu ships nvidia drivers
codemann_ 2017-01-25 10:19:33
ok, back to configuring this computer.. I want to thank my brain for helping out ;-)
stormmore 2017-01-25 10:19:37
hey so before I ask for help, is this the best channel to ask about problems with "Bash on Windows" or is there a better one?
codemann_ 2017-01-25 10:19:49
Later guys!
kernello 2017-01-25 10:20:47
hello everyone, after I ended nautilus process in system monitor, the desktop area is now shown empty (although when I open desktop folder in nautilus, I see my folders and files under it. how can I get them shown again normally?
skiy 2017-01-25 10:21:15
jnewt nvidia used to be pretty good at getting linux drivers out fast for their chips
k1l_ 2017-01-25 10:21:15
!bashonwindows
skiy 2017-01-25 10:21:25
jnewt because of unified driver architecture
jnewt 2017-01-25 10:21:27
k1l_: yeah, says product and vender are NVIDIA Corporation
k1l_ 2017-01-25 10:22:05
jnewt: ubuntu ships nvidia driver packages in the repos already.
skiy 2017-01-25 10:22:11
I used to have linux on Dell XPS, until the nvidia chip melted of course
k1l_ 2017-01-25 10:22:32
stormmore: yes, there is a dedicated channel i am not recognizing the name but you can search with alis
k1l_ 2017-01-25 10:22:37
!alis | stormmore
ubottu 2017-01-25 10:22:37
stormmore: Alis is an IRC service to help you find channels. For help on using it, see "/msg Alis help list" or ask in #freenode. Example usage: "/msg Alis list http"
jnewt 2017-01-25 10:23:02
it says driver=nouveau
k1l_ 2017-01-25 10:23:25
jnewt: system-settings > software and updates > last tab. choose the nvidia driver there
shomon 2017-01-25 10:23:30
hi, so I have a broadcom bcm4323 usb wireless drive, and I'm trying to get ndiswrapper to configure it properly or whatever needs to drive it from my ubuntu box..
shomon 2017-01-25 10:23:50
I have the latrest mcmwl-kernel-source package..
k1l_ 2017-01-25 10:23:54
shomon: no, dont use ndiswrapper. that is deprecated
shomon 2017-01-25 10:23:56
bcmwl-I mean
shomon 2017-01-25 10:24:06
how do I get rid of it?
k1l_ 2017-01-25 10:24:07
!bcm43 | shomon
k1l_ 2017-01-25 10:24:24
!bcm43xx
ubottu 2017-01-25 10:24:24
Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
k1l_ 2017-01-25 10:24:27

stormmore 2017-01-25 10:24:40
k1l_ thanks, I would have though there was. of course I have no clue what they would list it as and searching for bash doesn't help
MrKeuner 2017-01-25 10:25:25
hello, why would I get this in dmesg? EXT4-fs (sda): couldn't mount as ext3 due to feature incompatibilities... As far as I can tell, disktype /dev/sda reports ext4 and /etc/fstab appears to mount the partition as ext4
jnewt 2017-01-25 10:25:29
ah, i see, it's set to Using X.Org X server. I'm switching to the NVIDIA binary driver v 367.57
shomon 2017-01-25 10:25:56
thanks k1l_ !
orgy 2017-01-25 10:27:29
hi, I configured a user level anacron.daily job which is supposed to be doing an rsync backup to my nas. when running it manually via run-parts there is no problem. but anacron seems to be unable to run it automatically (and my nas blocks this ip). how do I find out what the problem is, the only output i get from anacron is in syslog: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23865738/
k1l_ 2017-01-25 10:27:53

ubottu 2017-01-25 10:27:53
stormmore: Canonical and Microsoft have announced that Windows 10 will be able to run Ubuntu programs without needing porting/recompilation. This functionality is still in beta and is not supported in #ubuntu. For discussion and support, see #ubuntu-on-windows.
captn_hook 2017-01-25 10:41:05
Hello all! Quick question (not super gentoo specific, but I'm using gentoo so that's why I came here). When i run lsof for a particular process, it's showing TCP connections established and closed. What are the closed ones? I notice some connections will establish, and once they are closed they disappear, but others hang around forever. Can anyone help me with this?
captn_hook 2017-01-25 10:41:20
Except, I'm not using gentoo obviously :)
k1l_ 2017-01-25 10:41:57
captn_hook: if you already know its not ubuntu or ubuntu related you might want to ask in ##linux in first place
Genuine 2017-01-25 10:43:58
anyone has information on ubuntu phone?
k1l_ 2017-01-25 10:44:10
Genuine: #ubuntu-touch has
Genuine 2017-01-25 10:44:23
thanks sir
xRob_ 2017-01-25 10:44:26
yo ubuntu, I don't understand printing.
Genuine 2017-01-25 10:44:27
or ma'am
xRob_ 2017-01-25 10:44:38
Let's say I connect to a wifi that has one of those wifi printers
xRob_ 2017-01-25 10:44:44
how do I print to it?
