How do I simply download a kernel with apt-get? I did 'sudo apt-get install linux-powerpc-smp' and the new kernel is nowhere to be found in my /boot folder
bekks 2017-02-25 08:47:45
lord-ragnarock: powerpc doesnt use /boot IIRC.
lord-ragnarock 2017-02-25 08:47:51
Ohhhh
lord-ragnarock 2017-02-25 08:48:56
I'm asking cause I use an app called BootX from Mac OS, which requires I copy a kernel and initrd over from the Linux drive
lord-ragnarock 2017-02-25 08:48:57
I currently use 3.2 and would like to experiment with... I think it's 3.16 now?
bekks 2017-02-25 08:48:58
lord-ragnarock: So take a look at the package content, and you will see where the files are being placed.
bekks 2017-02-25 08:49:08
lord-ragnarock: Current kernel is 4.8 :)
Jonii 2017-02-25 08:49:26
Can you add widgets or the like to unity desktop?
lord-ragnarock 2017-02-25 08:49:28
Can you actually compile that for ppc? :)
k1l_ 2017-02-25 08:49:49
Jonii: you can add indicators
bekks 2017-02-25 08:49:54
lord-ragnarock: Personally, I never tried, due to lacking PPC hw :)
lord-ragnarock 2017-02-25 08:50:07
Hahaha I see
bekks 2017-02-25 08:50:30
lord-ragnarock: But it works for ARM, which I've tried :)

If it gives you any ideas, I'm trying to get my graphics card working properly again after an upgrade :p
bekks 2017-02-25 08:51:21
lord-ragnarock: Actually, no :D
lord-ragnarock 2017-02-25 08:51:25
Found out from others last night that fglrx got removed when I updated from 12.04 to 14.04 :(
bekks 2017-02-25 08:51:44
lord-ragnarock: Oh, yeah, ages ago it got removed.
lord-ragnarock 2017-02-25 08:52:12
That sucks :/ I have no clue what to do. It allowed me to use 1920x1080
bekks 2017-02-25 08:52:33
lord-ragnarock: Just use the opensource replacement?
lord-ragnarock 2017-02-25 08:52:50
That's part of the xserver-xorg-video-ati package I think?

hi lord-ragnarock
mcphail 2017-02-25 08:55:40
Was PPC an official port at the time of precise? If not, ubottu won't know about it
lord-ragnarock 2017-02-25 08:55:54
Good question. No clue
A_Legit_Cookie 2017-02-25 08:56:08
this si the support server, right?
k1l_ 2017-02-25 08:56:30
A_Legit_Cookie: this is the ubuntu technical support channel.
OerHeks 2017-02-25 08:56:34
also handy to check https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCKnownIssues
A_Legit_Cookie 2017-02-25 08:57:08
Because for some reason my config file is empty and i wanna know if this is a problem or not
k1l_ 2017-02-25 08:57:24
A_Legit_Cookie: what config file?
lord-ragnarock 2017-02-25 08:57:28
I'm not very familiar with kernel bootargs. What exactly would 'radeon.modeset' do?
A_Legit_Cookie 2017-02-25 08:57:39
the Ubuntu MATE config
OerHeks 2017-02-25 08:58:13
lord-ragnarock, those options disable DKMS
A_Legit_Cookie 2017-02-25 08:58:16
is it bad that my Ubuntu MATE config is empty
bekks 2017-02-25 08:58:48
lord-ragnarock: that would set the modeset parameter for the radeon module.
A_Legit_Cookie 2017-02-25 08:59:21
k1l: is it bad that my Ubuntu MATE config is empty?
OerHeks 2017-02-25 08:59:36
long time i smelled PowerPC
k1l_ 2017-02-25 08:59:50
A_Legit_Cookie: i dont know about mate and its configs. was it empty before? what did you do?
A_Legit_Cookie 2017-02-25 09:06:21
cool, thanks

I have a rutorrent client setup with a nginx reverse proxy on a subdomain. I have setup a password verification with nginx but if you to my server and the url with the port number you dont need to put in a password. How can i block that people can go to my domain with port?

anyone have experience with lightdm and vnc?

on the unity desktop?
nvdrivers 2017-02-25 09:35:02
yeah
nvdrivers 2017-02-25 09:35:02
ideally
nvdrivers 2017-02-25 09:35:02
i had issues with compiz segfaulting
nvdrivers 2017-02-25 09:35:02
was hoping the latest drivers might fix that
compdoc 2017-02-25 09:35:02
dont think its possible, unless something has changed recently
nvdrivers 2017-02-25 09:35:02
ah
compdoc 2017-02-25 09:35:02
you need a 2d desktop
nvdrivers 2017-02-25 09:35:02
i just get a grey screen when i log in

nvdrivers 2017-02-25 09:35:02
unity no good?
nvdrivers 2017-02-25 09:35:02
i managed to get in with x11vnc or tigervnc
compdoc 2017-02-25 09:35:02
its 3d only, and maybe theres a new way, but its never worked before
nvdrivers 2017-02-25 09:35:02
ive reinstalled lightdm and tightvncserver
nvdrivers 2017-02-25 09:35:02
oh i see
compdoc 2017-02-25 09:35:02
doesnt bother me. Mate and x2go are the perfect combo
nvdrivers 2017-02-25 09:35:02
the grey desktop is disconcerting
