was the spyware fonction (giving search keywords to amazone) removed from ubuntu ? Or disabled by default ? What about it today ?

RedPenguin: ok well you should probably fix myth, its complaining pretty loudly
tatertots 2017-01-28 04:04:04
RedPenguin: also that old crt isn't providing edid data
RedPenguin 2017-01-28 04:04:25
that's VGA into an LCD TV
tatertots 2017-01-28 04:04:30
RedPenguin: you should also check all disk drives for errors
RedPenguin 2017-01-28 04:04:47
I thought maybe it was MythTV but I did check the backend to see if anything looked odd
RedPenguin 2017-01-28 04:04:59
MythTV was having a tough time recording a 1080p online stream
tatertots 2017-01-28 04:06:20
RedPenguin: Either the server is down or the master server settings in mythtv-settings does not contain the proper IP address

RedPenguin 2017-01-28 04:09:48
I should say it was recording the stream but after say 3 min it recorded it with errors in the video
RedPenguin 2017-01-28 04:10:01
I tested the stream on my quad-core laptop and it recorded the stream fine]

This is such a complicated question that I'm not sure where to begin. My computer has two drives and uses Lilo to dual-boot between Windows and Slackware 32-bit Linux. Now I need to add a third drive to boot Ubuntu 64-bit Linux. Ubuntu uses grub2 and to make all this line up properly, I think I need to know how ubuntu "counts" disk partitions.
bekks 2017-01-28 04:11:07
MarkB2: It starts counting at 0.
Dworf 2017-01-28 04:12:03
tomreyn: got it work installing some packages
Dworf 2017-01-28 04:12:26
tho now need to modify code cause php7 dont support anymore mysql_connect etc =0
MarkB2 2017-01-28 04:13:33
bekks: See what I mean about a complicated question? If I need to tweak Lilo or grub2 to boot the desired OS, I need to set root to the "correct" place. This, I think, will also require changing /etc/fstab in ubuntu to get the partition assignments correct.
bekks 2017-01-28 04:13:52
MarkB2: No, I dont see whats complicated at that point.
bekks 2017-01-28 04:14:10
MarkB2: your first disk is sda, your second is sdb, etc.
bekks 2017-01-28 04:14:38
So your third disk is sdc. All these map to hd0 => sda, hd1 => sdb, etc., in grub.
MarkB2 2017-01-28 04:17:52
The ubuntu linux is on an external USB-connected drive. That ..might.. map to /dev/sdc. This computers BIOS allows me to select which device to boot at start. From there, I can get into grub2's OS selection menu. And I can get to a prompt. Can grub2 "tell me" the list of devices it found?
bekks 2017-01-28 04:18:32
MarkB2: In case you change drive order in BIOS, still the first detected drive is sda => hd0, etc.
bekks 2017-01-28 04:19:00
And there is no point in changing your BIOS, since you can do all that from within your preferred bootloader on the first disk.

bekks 2017-01-28 04:19:33
MarkB2: In addition, Ubuntu ships with grub by default, but you can use lilo, without grub, for booting it.
MarkB2 2017-01-28 04:20:10
Lilo (the preferred boot loader) has one disgusting flaw: if a specified drive isn't detected, the fool thing goes into a spewing rant, outputting "L0" all over the displays.
bekks 2017-01-28 04:20:28
MarkB2: So dont use it then?
MarkB2 2017-01-28 04:21:57
Nominally I'd agree. That means I need to find the UUID for all the physical drives that are attached for grub2 for its mapping. Which is why I asked, "Can grub2 tell me what it found?"
bekks 2017-01-28 04:22:56
sudo blkid; done.
Scoop7 2017-01-28 04:22:56
it's a long shot, but maybe anyone knows a lot about wget? And could give me some pointers on one q.
bekks 2017-01-28 04:23:59
MarkB2: and from the grub prompt: ls -l
MarkB2 2017-01-28 04:26:49
Alright.. I think I see what to do. Get into grub2 at boot, get a grub> prompt, issue "ls -l" and get the list of identifiers. THen starts more fun.
MarkB2 2017-01-28 04:27:19
It won't boot ubuntu the way it is now... because the stuff in /etc/fstab isn't set properly.
MarkB2 2017-01-28 04:27:39
But I can get into ubuntu.. or boot slackware and mount the ubuntu root partition.
MarkB2 2017-01-28 04:28:11
What I should probably do is use UUIDs in fstab so I don't have to worry about which drive is doing what.
bekks 2017-01-28 04:28:28
MarkB2: Thats what UUID are for.
squeakytoy 2017-01-28 04:28:51
would linux.sh be worth something to sell? :|
MarkB2 2017-01-28 04:29:23
bekks; True, I suppose. I'm a little old-school.. started with CP/M-80, went through various incarnations of DOS, then found myself messing with Windows then Linux.
MarkB2 2017-01-28 04:29:39
So I'm used to working with primary partition tables.
bekks 2017-01-28 04:30:07
MarkB2: Me too. all I need is sdX1 for /boot and sdX2 for a LVM PV. :P
MarkB2 2017-01-28 04:30:45
This hardware isn't robust enough to run virtual machines (which is what I think you meant by "LVM"?).
bekks 2017-01-28 04:31:07
MarkB2: LVM hast nothing to do with virtual machines, since LVM is the Logical Volume Manager.
MarkB2 2017-01-28 04:31:09
I'm just as happy it's got a 64-bit processor.
MarkB2 2017-01-28 04:31:31
bekks: Thank you. I assumed wrongly.
MarkB2 2017-01-28 04:32:49
Alright.. now starts the fun. I am so tired of plugging and unplugging SATA cables so as not to contaminate something else.
MarkB2 2017-01-28 04:33:26
Thanks again.

hi, i just updated firefox to 51.0.1+build2-0ubuntu0.14.04.1 and it isn't rendering anything to the page area of the window (but otherwise seems to be working -- it downloads files and menus, etc, work fine). i've observed this on two machines. has anyone else seen this?
