I am realizing that I suck at linux administration
sruli 2017-02-23 05:46:59
tdannecy: i deleted it by deleting the higher level as you suggested, however i cannot resolve my problem, how can i add a shortcut from a bash script in gnome ? it adds it to dconf but doesnt work
ash_workz 2017-02-23 05:49:40
aux, iops, cores, etc; I have only the faintest idea of what to make of various metrics and close to nil idea on how to produce them
sruli 2017-02-23 05:49:46
tdannecy: i see when i add a shortcut in gui it also adds a entry inside media-keys itself in addition to the sub object it adds, when i add from the command line it doesnt do that
tdannecy 2017-02-23 05:50:05
sruli: Can you re-state your original question? I'm confused on what you're trying to do.
nacc 2017-02-23 05:50:36
ash_workz: not sure what each of those are myself, but 'cores' to me is not a metric?
nacc 2017-02-23 05:50:43
ash_workz: but also, not really a support question
sruli 2017-02-23 05:51:06
tdannecy: the original question i posted was how to delete, which i have now achieved.. the original thing i wanted to achieve is to add a keyboard shortcut from a bash script
ash_workz 2017-02-23 05:51:42
nacc: no; I'm kinda just complaining :\ hoping the super nice people in here will be like `@see CoolTutorial`
tdannecy 2017-02-23 05:51:58
sruli: Keyboard shortcut for what? Gnome? Unity? Vim??
davvvid 2017-02-23 05:53:11
hi boys, I installed TightVNC and when I connect to the server I'm logged as a root, not as a sudo user I just created. I'm stuck. Would appreciate any help
nacc 2017-02-23 05:54:12
davvvid: 'sudo user'?
sruli 2017-02-23 05:54:18
tdannecy: in gnome, i want a shortcut to launch a script which opens a web page, using the keyboard shourcut gui its simple enoung, however i want to add that shoutcut from command line / bash script
nacc 2017-02-23 05:54:19
davvvid: a regular user with sudo privilege?
sruli 2017-02-23 05:54:29
tdannecy: i tried using the instructions and script from http://askubuntu.com/a/597414/483497 but that only works if there are existing shortcuts set, i dont know what i need to edit in the script that it should add without existing shortcuts set
davvvid 2017-02-23 05:54:32
nacc, yes. regular user with sudo privilege
nacc 2017-02-23 05:54:33
davvvid: who is the server running as?
nacc 2017-02-23 05:54:51
davvvid: as in, look at `ps aux` on the server system and see
ducasse 2017-02-23 05:55:05
davvvid: did you start it using sudo?
davvvid 2017-02-23 05:55:21
ducasse, yes
nacc 2017-02-23 05:55:30
davvvid: then it's running as root
nacc 2017-02-23 05:55:47
davvvid: you escalated the privilege to run it
davvvid 2017-02-23 05:57:31
it's not running without sudo
davvvid 2017-02-23 05:57:42
vncserver: Wrong type or access mode of /home/david/.vnc.
tdannecy 2017-02-23 05:57:50
sruli: The link you provided has instructions to create a new set, in both the Bash and Python examples.
nacc 2017-02-23 05:57:59
davvvid: probably you ran it with sudo once, which made that directory owned by root
nacc 2017-02-23 05:58:03
davvvid: check the permissions?
sruli 2017-02-23 05:58:23
tdannecy: yes, but it checks first for existing ones, as i dont have existing ones if fails

is it ok to update pip using pip, after installing it from the repos?
pvl1 2017-02-23 05:58:52
is it ok to update pip using pip, after installing it from the repos?
tdannecy 2017-02-23 05:58:53
The python comment says "make sure the additional keybinding mention is no duplicate"
pvl1 2017-02-23 05:59:02
(sorry if that send twice, just making sure it got on here)
nacc 2017-02-23 05:59:31
pvl1: do you have a reason to do so? iirc, by default, pip will put itself in /usr/local and leave the system pip in /usr -- note that modifying /usr outside of the packaging system is not ideal
nacc 2017-02-23 05:59:57
pvl1: i would suggest not updating the system pip outside of the packaged version, if you are using the pacakged version
pvl1 2017-02-23 06:00:03
nacc: thats what i figured... only a matter of time before theres issues
davvvid 2017-02-23 06:01:19
nacc and ducasse. I love you boys. all is working
nacc 2017-02-23 06:02:09
pvl1: do you have a specific need for a newer pip?
nacc 2017-02-23 06:02:25
pvl1: i believe you can install it 'locally' (as in your home directory) for just your user
nacc 2017-02-23 06:02:28
davvvid: yw
sruli 2017-02-23 06:02:29
tdannecy: i beleive that is to check if the keybind being added is not a duplicate as in that case it also fails, if you look as the while true function, you will see that it specifically checks for existing number, i guess it needs an argument that if there is no number start at 0, never edited python before.. not sure how to do it
pvl1 2017-02-23 06:02:52
nacc: nope, just pip recommended i update and gave me the command, and i was like, aptitude will not be happy

Hi - question about ubuntu Core. I have a working machine in KVM, and when I want to ssh into it, it asks key passphrase. When I enter it correctly, it asks users password, which I don't know... any ideas?
Zewwy 2017-02-23 06:07:22
ooo neat
kierqueen 2017-02-23 06:07:25
how do I know the 10 latest things I installed ?

If anyone has any ideas to my issue above
kierqueen 2017-02-23 06:07:56
or say 20 latest packages, yeah they can be as old as hell, but they should be in order, so how do I list them ?
Zewwy 2017-02-23 06:08:03
be greatly apprciated
Zewwy 2017-02-23 06:08:11

slunatecqo, you need the ssh keys >>>> ssh -i @ >>> http://askubuntu.com/questions/870635/ubuntu-core-ssh-key
slunatecqo 2017-02-23 06:10:30
OerHeks: As I said. I have it all set up. I do use the key, and after I succesfully use it (I enter the right passphrase) it asks for USER password (not key passphrase)
kierqueen 2017-02-23 06:11:06
hey guys does anyone know ?
OerHeks 2017-02-23 06:11:27
slunatecqo, with ssh key you don't need passphrase/user, so something is not setup correct?
slunatecqo 2017-02-23 06:11:55
OerHeks: that is what I am asking. What is not set up correct?
OerHeks 2017-02-23 06:13:05
slunatecqo, not sure, i have no core running here :-(
nacc 2017-02-23 06:13:32
slunatecqo: maybe ask in #snappy (not entirely correct there, but they may know where to ask
slunatecqo 2017-02-23 06:13:54
nacc: thanks
OerHeks 2017-02-23 06:14:46

slunatecqo: is the sso server different computer than the ubuntu machine?
nacc 2017-02-23 06:16:57
akik: i mean the sso server will be ubuntu one or whatever, right? for core, i mean
akik 2017-02-23 06:17:50
nacc: ok yea i don't know about that. just thought whether the keys are in the correct location
nacc 2017-02-23 06:18:50
akik: yeah, we're debugging it in #snappy now -- looks like a key mismatch (passphrase, possibly)
sarbs_ 2017-02-23 06:20:33
gparted won't let me create a logical partition, but ubuntu installer will. is there some trick to doing it in gparted?
sarbs_ 2017-02-23 06:22:58
however ubuntu installer apparently won't let me do anything with the encrypted logical partition i want, except create one single big partition inside it.. i want four partitions (three ext4 and one swap) to live inside the same encrypted container. is that possible?
nylator 2017-02-23 06:23:26
exit
Antares 2017-02-23 06:24:37
Congratulations!
akik 2017-02-23 06:24:49
sarbs_: you can accomplish that with lvm and creating logical volumes inside the volume group
winsen_ 2017-02-23 06:25:03
hoi all
winsen_ 2017-02-23 06:25:05
hi
winsen_ 2017-02-23 06:25:10
does anyone know how to update/upgrade thunderbird on debian jessie please?
nacc 2017-02-23 06:25:21
winsen_: probalby ask in a debian channel?
sarbs_ 2017-02-23 06:25:44
akik how can i set that up? or are you meaning i'll have to go with the single giant ext4, and then lvm is some layer on top of that?
nacc 2017-02-23 06:25:59
sarbs_: lvm is a layer below the fs choice, not above
winsen 2017-02-23 06:26:03
nacc: no discriminatiopn please
nacc 2017-02-23 06:26:11
winsen: this is the Ubuntu support channel.
winsen 2017-02-23 06:26:37
nacc: I know I am also using ubuntu and I have the same probleme
winsen 2017-02-23 06:26:41
problem
akik 2017-02-23 06:26:45
sarbs_: you select a partition which you want to use as the lvm physical volume
nacc 2017-02-23 06:26:46
winsen: what problem is that?
koleygr 2017-02-23 06:26:47
nacc 2017-02-23 06:27:01
winsen: so far you have only asked how to update thunderbird on debian jessie; which is not a problem.
akik 2017-02-23 06:27:03
sarbs_: but i think the ubuntu installation takes care of this
kierqueen 2017-02-23 06:27:56
also how do I find out how much space sagemath is occupying, including all the files, that is manuals, /usr/ etc
sarbs_ 2017-02-23 06:28:17
akik oh, i think i see what you mean - yeah, i can create a logical volume, but then i'd have to create multiple encrypted containers inside *that*, each of which would have one partition inside.. that'd require me to decrypt four different containers (ie enter four passwords) at boot time
sarbs_ 2017-02-23 06:28:27
i'm looking for a way to have *one* container, 4 child parts
sarbs_ 2017-02-23 06:28:45
did i understand what you're saying correctly?
akik 2017-02-23 06:29:39
sarbs_: sorry i haven't used the enccrypted lvm setup myself. i use luks, but i know that the encrypted lvm exists in ubuntu
jpthing 2017-02-23 06:31:27
A common mistake is to encrypt the home dir and hen for get to encrypt the swap as well.
akik 2017-02-23 06:31:35
sarbs_: a logical volume would be for example the root partition, the /opt partition of the swap partition inside the lvm volume group
winsen 2017-02-23 06:31:35
nacc: so far please no discrimination. updating/upgrading TB would be the same on ubuntu and debian. Now tell us if you know the answer otherwise no comment
sruli 2017-02-23 06:32:03
tdannecy: i finally figured out how to add from script, i missed 1 step, it would be great if that python script allowed to add if there are no previous shortcuts set
akik 2017-02-23 06:32:20
sarbs_: you can also set a key file to open the encrypted partition in luks
OerHeks 2017-02-23 06:32:22
winsen, nice attitude, but you get answer in #debian
sarbs_ 2017-02-23 06:32:35
winsen no, it's not necessarily the same. ubuntu and debian use different package repositories and have sometimes differing versions of software. if you want answers for debian, ask in debian support channels
OerHeks 2017-02-23 06:34:02
winsen, to surprise you: we have the latest already \0/
winsen 2017-02-23 06:37:11
OerHeks: "nice attitude"? do I need your permission...?
OerHeks 2017-02-23 06:37:34
winsen, follow the channel rules and you are fine :-)
Zythyr 2017-02-23 06:37:36

winsen 2017-02-23 06:37:42
sarbs_: anyway thanks
nacc 2017-02-23 06:37:57
winsen: you haven't said a problem? updating thunderbird is `apt update; apt upgrade thunderbird`
nacc 2017-02-23 06:38:55
winsen: if you meant, 'how do I upgrade thunderbird on Ubuntu', which you still, afaict, have not asked, then I would say !details to you -- as you haven't said what you have tried, what version you are on, what version you want, etc.
winsen 2017-02-23 06:39:28
nacc: I mean, I don't want to upgrade all my system. that's why. I just need to upgrade only TB.
nacc 2017-02-23 06:39:45
winsen: why not? you're intentionally holding back your system?
ablest1980 2017-02-23 06:39:50

ablest1980 2017-02-23 06:40:02
any website?
nacc 2017-02-23 06:40:15
winsen: I believe if there are updates available, `apt install thunderbird` will just upgrade it
winsen 2017-02-23 06:41:23
nacc: the last time I did that, I had problems with my system...and frankly I forgot which software..

on ubuntu 16.04
ablest1980 2017-02-23 06:42:28
do you keep getting font updates too?
nacc 2017-02-23 06:42:35
winsen: it feels rather difficult to help. Regular updates (at least security ones) should be run anyways. If you want the 'latest' version of thunderbird, you won't get that from Ubuntu anyways.
nacc 2017-02-23 06:42:57
winsen: and you still haven't responded to my second point -- no details. So i'll let someone else help you
Xard 2017-02-23 06:42:59
"Setting up fonts-opensymbol (2:102.7+LibO5.1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~xenial1) ..." was just a reminder of this
winsen 2017-02-23 06:43:01
