Simonious: You're not meant to replace the keyserver name in the command, try with just keyserver.ubuntu.com
Simonious 2017-02-28 10:46:34
ooo, that looks better!
Kazuto 2017-02-28 10:51:59
I feel like my whole VPS is exploding. Every time I try to update my packages, I get told "Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)," each sudo command tells me my hostname refuses connection, and ZNC can't read my config. Where the hell do I start troubleshooting?
nacc 2017-02-28 10:53:55
Kazuto: pastebin the first case (full command all the output)
lafleurdubien 2017-02-28 10:54:26
does anyone here have experience writing tutorials for Digital Ocean?
Kazuto 2017-02-28 10:54:44
nacc: Including the update output?
nacc 2017-02-28 10:54:48
lafleurdubien: doesn't seem topical for this channel? maybe #ubuntu-offtopic
nacc 2017-02-28 10:54:59
Kazuto: probably doesn't hurt, but I was mostly interested in the comamnd that leads to the error
Kazuto 2017-02-28 10:55:55
nacc: `sudo apt-get dist-upgrade`
Kazuto 2017-02-28 10:56:05
I'll get the full output in a sec
nacc 2017-02-28 10:56:11
Kazuto: ok
unstablevet 2017-02-28 10:57:07
can someone assist me please

nacc 2017-02-28 11:01:55
Kazuto: wow, have you not updated in some time?
Kazuto 2017-02-28 11:02:09
nacc: Yeah, I know, it's been about two months
nacc 2017-02-28 11:02:16
Kazuto: that's terrible, for it's own reason
nacc 2017-02-28 11:02:24
Kazuto: esp. in a droplet, which means you're 100% insecure
nacc 2017-02-28 11:02:31
Kazuto: but whatever, that paste doesn't have the relevant output
Kazuto 2017-02-28 11:02:37
That's the only output though
nacc 2017-02-28 11:02:38
Kazuto: did you use pastebinit?
Kazuto 2017-02-28 11:02:43
Pastebinit?
nacc 2017-02-28 11:02:56
Kazuto: oh i see, it just put it in the middle, sorry
nacc 2017-02-28 11:03:11
Kazuto: seems suspicious that it's around package 1000
nacc 2017-02-28 11:03:42
Kazuto: have you tried using `apt` rather than `apt-get`? `apt update; apt full-upgrade`. Just curious if it's a tooling issue
Kazuto 2017-02-28 11:03:54
I'll try it
Bashing-om 2017-02-28 11:03:59
unstablevet: No help until the issue is known, state the problem .
unstablevet 2017-02-28 11:04:30
i cant seem to find my integrated webcam when i use lsusb or lspci I'm not sure where to go from there
Kazuto 2017-02-28 11:04:49
nacc: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24086583/
nacc 2017-02-28 11:05:18
Kazuto: ok, run `sudo apt-get -f install`
Bashing-om 2017-02-28 11:05:58
unstablevet: I would run ' tail -f /var/log/syslog ' in terminal and see if the system picks up when the cam is connected .
Kazuto 2017-02-28 11:06:26
nacc: Running now
Kazuto 2017-02-28 11:07:49

LVDSXorg 2017-02-28 11:08:49
Hi, I installed 16.04 on an older laptop that has RS880M graphics card, and I know current xorg doesn't support it. Is this the reason why my display resolution is stuck at 1600x900 ? I tried added undetected resolution but my screen goes blank
nacc 2017-02-28 11:10:08
Kazuto: why do you have old 14.04 kernels on your system?
Kazuto 2017-02-28 11:10:18
nacc: ?
nacc 2017-02-28 11:10:23
Kazuto: in any case, it doesn't look like any failures from that command
nacc 2017-02-28 11:10:32
Kazuto: /boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-110-generic
Simonious 2017-02-28 11:11:25
Are the network problems still going on?
Kazuto 2017-02-28 11:11:45
nacc: No idea. Could that be a problem?
Kazuto 2017-02-28 11:12:07
I'm basically at the point where I'm going to save all of my work off-site and re-flash the system though
Bashing-om 2017-02-28 11:12:10
unstablevet: xtl+c to close that terminal . and open a new terminal ( ctl+alt+t - unity ) . and in this terminal type ' tail -f /var/log/syslog ' . And nothing else . In this terminal is the tail of the log and the (-f) is to see all that gets added to the log file . Terminate the logging in that terminal with ctl+c . to return to CLI prompt .
nacc 2017-02-28 11:12:19
Kazuto: yes, you might as well, tbh, if that's an option
Kazuto 2017-02-28 11:13:04
Alright. Thanks for your help, nacc! I'll hang out here until it's done, then I'll rejoin on ZNC.
LVDSXorg 2017-02-28 11:16:28
when I do xrandr -q, I see my display to be LVDS, should I use LVDS-0 when adding a new mode ?
LVDSXorg 2017-02-28 11:17:47
Thing is when I try to change my resolution, I get a black screen. I am not sure why
OerHeks 2017-02-28 11:19:37
LVDSXorg, no, LVDS is correct https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution#Dynamically_testing_different_resolutions
unstablevet 2017-02-28 11:19:48
bashing-om:what specifically would i look out for?
LVDSXorg 2017-02-28 11:21:18
oh okay OerHeks. Any idea why I get the black screen though ? should I play with the rate ? I am trying to get 1920x1080 60
Bashing-om 2017-02-28 11:21:43
unstablevet: Whatever is reported when the cam is connected . That would be my starting point . Get some ID's and such to begin following the bread crumbs .
violencechildren 2017-02-28 11:23:07
fuck you guys
Simonious 2017-02-28 11:24:04
Did I just get laid?
elky 2017-02-28 11:24:21
no
Simonious 2017-02-28 11:24:34
but.. violencechildren said..
elky 2017-02-28 11:24:36
not worth giving trolls attention like that
Simonious 2017-02-28 11:24:47
well.. he's already logged out
Simonious 2017-02-28 11:24:52
so I make jokey
clissold345 2017-02-28 11:25:31
Can I ask about 17.04 here? It seems to have installed ok except that I cant open websites in firefox. I can connect to the router and I can ping. Eg ping 8.8.8.8.
genii 2017-02-28 11:26:20
clissold345: #ubuntu+1 is the official place for Zesty until it reaches actual release
dbarton 2017-02-28 11:26:51
clissold345: execute a "dig example.net" in your console
dbarton 2017-02-28 11:27:21
genii: didn't know about #ubuntu+1… thanks :)
Apachez 2017-02-28 11:28:12
in ubuntu, is there a "good" way to run a specific command AFTER user logged into the gui AND network is up and running? does for example network-manager have a postinit script that it can trigger once network is up and running?
clissold345 2017-02-28 11:29:32
genii, I'll try there. Thanks.
dbarton 2017-02-28 11:30:57
Apachez: in case you use systemd, you could add a service unit (w/ oneshot command) and add it to the correct target (network.target if I'm not completly wrong)… but I think ubuntu uses upstart by default
Apachez 2017-02-28 11:35:07
yeah if I add an app in startup applications it seems to be working as expected
Apachez 2017-02-28 11:35:23
but so would gigolo also do but gigolo fails since network isnt up yet when it runs
Apachez 2017-02-28 11:35:45
so "proper" way to do this would be to locate a trigger of network up and mount as the user
