ioria: it works as a client. Then there are two possibilities: 1) network manager is messing stuff 2) the driver doesn't work as hotspot
Kingsy 2017-02-23 09:46:49
can someone help me.. firstly how do you get internet access in the recovery console again?
ducasse 2017-02-23 09:47:02
sruli: yw :)

ioria: it works as a client. Then there are two possibilities: 1) network manager is messing stuff 2) the driver doesn't work as hotspot
ioria 2017-02-23 09:47:15
faLUCE, ok ...mmmm
Kingsy 2017-02-23 09:48:01
oh nm
ioria 2017-02-23 09:48:12
faLUCE, not an 'hotspot' specialist... but you need also ethernet for that
Bashing-om 2017-02-23 09:48:25
Kingsy: OIn the recovery console menu, enable networking option .
ioria 2017-02-23 09:48:45
faLUCE, sy, you have eth driver=r8168
craptalk 2017-02-23 09:49:04
or is it some menu pref to be save power man or boost power man?
thyriaen 2017-02-23 09:49:47
hi, i am looking for a way to get chrome ( and/or chromium ) to send notifications with libnotify instead of the chrome buildin nnotification so it gets better integrated into your desktop - is there a way ?
Kingsy 2017-02-23 09:50:03
Bashing-om: thanks
Kingsy 2017-02-23 09:50:55
here is a question, I hvae just installed ubuntu minimal. No DE, no extra packages.. and it hangs just after it shows the blocks etc for the main drive...
Kingsy 2017-02-23 09:51:06
however if I install ubuntu desktop it works.. boots up just fine
Bashing-om 2017-02-23 09:51:08
Kingsy: I slow but get there . Glad ya seen the way .
CarlFK 2017-02-23 09:51:22
Kingsy: hit alt-f1 - I bet you get a login prompt
Kingsy 2017-02-23 09:51:54
CarlFK: alt f1? erm ok but I cant see why that would work
Kingsy 2017-02-23 09:52:15
CarlFK: na, no login prompt
CarlFK 2017-02-23 09:52:17
Kingsy: alt-f1 to f7 flip between VGs
Kingsy 2017-02-23 09:52:33
it hangs at /dev/sda1: clean, blah blah
CarlFK 2017-02-23 09:52:35
Kingsy: alt-f1 to f7 flip between VTs
Kingsy 2017-02-23 09:52:46
CarlFK: no effect
faLUCE 2017-02-23 09:52:55
ioria: I'm seeing that network-manager (or network-manager's GUI) is messing up stuff. it's not the first time. I had many problems with network-manager in the past
Kingsy 2017-02-23 09:53:15
I am thinking its something to do with my gfx card but I just don't see why it matters if I don't have a DE
Kingsy 2017-02-23 09:53:27
surely the opensource drivers should be enough to get my to a prompt
ioria 2017-02-23 09:53:40
faLUCE, i see, how are creating the hotspot ?
sruli 2017-02-23 09:53:56
ioria: firstly i created /etc/asound.conf with config from http://termbin.com/rb9g (from ducasse) installed pauvcontrol (pauvcontrol didnt work needed to reinstall all pkgs from #4 in launchpad bug 881797) still couldnt get hdmi to work so changed to pch by changing 0 to 1 in /etc/asound.conf
ubottu 2017-02-23 09:53:56
Launchpad bug 881797 in pavucontrol (Ubuntu) "pavucontrol will not launch missing lib fresh 64 bit xubuntu install" [Undecided,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/881797
faLUCE 2017-02-23 09:54:08
ioria: in fact, I don't see the new connection in the list. I have to choose an existing connection and then I have to choose the NIC in a window, on the fly
CarlFK 2017-02-23 09:54:09
Kingsy: hmm.. hold shift down on boot to get grub menu, try rescue mode. see if that gets you to a prompt
Kingsy 2017-02-23 09:54:36
CarlFK: there is only recovery and normal mode from what I see hold on
faLUCE 2017-02-23 09:54:37
ioria: I created the hotspot with the network manager GUI
ioria 2017-02-23 09:54:40
sruli, thanx
Bashing-om 2017-02-23 09:54:47
Kingsy: In a minimal install, try and tell the kernel you are booting to a terminal . in the grub boot line remove quiet splash and all after . and insert the term text .
CarlFK 2017-02-23 09:54:54
Kingsy: I am having a similar issue, except I don't care because I am sshing into the box so I haven't dug into it
ducasse 2017-02-23 09:55:17
sruli: aplay -l gives you the card number to use, so you know
CarlFK 2017-02-23 09:55:20
Bashing-om: what is "insert the term text .' ?
Kingsy 2017-02-23 09:55:34
CarlFK: oh weird.. I managed to get to a login by entering recovery mode then just resuming startup
CarlFK 2017-02-23 09:55:50
Kingsy: same here
Kingsy 2017-02-23 09:55:58
hrm
sruli 2017-02-23 09:56:03
ducasse: added to my notes, thanks
Kingsy 2017-02-23 09:56:15
CarlFK: given that I don't know what the problem is I am not sure how to proceed
CarlFK 2017-02-23 09:56:29
Kingsy: oh, it may be ctrl-alt-f1 to 7...
Bashing-om 2017-02-23 09:56:44
CarlFK: Instead of the boot parameters "quiet splash ro vt_handoff=7" replace them with the word text .
BuckMinster 2017-02-23 09:56:52
hello
Kingsy 2017-02-23 09:57:11
installing openobox now
Kingsy 2017-02-23 09:57:23
I'll install lightdm too
Kingsy 2017-02-23 09:57:26
see if it boots :P
CarlFK 2017-02-23 09:57:35
Bashing-om: ah. thanks. Kingsy do that "text" thing ^^^
Kingsy 2017-02-23 09:57:47
ok will do if this doesnt work
Bashing-om 2017-02-23 09:57:47
Kingsy: Did you install xorg in this minimal install ?
Kingsy 2017-02-23 09:57:53
Bashing-om: no
Kingsy 2017-02-23 09:57:55
installing it now
Bashing-om 2017-02-23 09:58:22
Kow: K; no xorg == no GUI .
gde33 2017-02-23 09:58:36
lol https://postimg.org/image/wpvmyqvlj/
Kingsy 2017-02-23 09:58:47
Bashing-om: yeah its not that I wasnt getting a GUI. I wasnt getting to a prompt
Kingsy 2017-02-23 09:59:48
wow lightdm needs ALOT of stuff
Kingsy 2017-02-23 09:59:49
heh
Bashing-om 2017-02-23 09:59:53
Kingsy: Not to belabor the obvious; but you did verify the .iso download file ?
gde33 2017-02-23 09:59:58
it was much work getting the screenshot out of the laptop
Kingsy 2017-02-23 10:00:05
Bashing-om: yeah I did a checksum on it
Kingsy 2017-02-23 10:02:02
Bashing-om: also, like I say, it works for unity
Kingsy 2017-02-23 10:03:01
but I hate unity :P
Bashing-om 2017-02-23 10:03:01
Kingsy: On my core install . singe user system .. there is no need of a login manager . useless overhead in my opinion .
Kingsy 2017-02-23 10:03:01
Bashing-om: so how do you get into the GUI? startx?
faLUCE 2017-02-23 10:03:01
well. just saw that network-manager is a complete disaster. I don't understand why ubuntu still uses it
Bashing-om 2017-02-23 10:03:13
Kingsy: Yeah something similar / with xfce it is ' startxfce4 " I would expect openbox top have something similar . Once configs are done one can then start the GUI with the command ' startx ' .
Kingsy 2017-02-23 10:03:35
Bashing-om: got ya, yeah thats no good here. This is an HTPC so it needs to be friendly :)
Kingsy 2017-02-23 10:05:18
hmm what login manager does unity use?
OerHeks 2017-02-23 10:06:53
Kingsy, .. but you hate unity ?
Kingsy 2017-02-23 10:07:06
hehe thats why I am asking
Bashing-om 2017-02-23 10:08:50
Kingsy: I do not think you need or want lightdm if ya going to run openbox . gemme a tic to hunt up a guide for the minimal install .
Kingsy 2017-02-23 10:09:24
yeah lightdm wAs the wrong choice I purged it

Hey all, if I chmod my working directory for Python to 777 will hackers be able to access the server hosting my Django app?
wedgie 2017-02-23 10:21:26
DustBunny: not necessarily, but it can make their life easier if they manage to find a vulnerability. Does your python app need to be able to write to that directory?
OerHeks 2017-02-23 10:21:26
DustBunny, could well be, 777 is silly
Kingsy 2017-02-23 10:22:05
argh I just don't understand... riddle me tis
Kingsy 2017-02-23 10:22:06
this
OerHeks 2017-02-23 10:22:10
DustBunny, time to reinstall ;-)
DustBunny 2017-02-23 10:22:58
It's a RESTful API and according to my error logs it's because some of the files it accesses don't have the proper permissions
Kingsy 2017-02-23 10:22:58
I install ubuntu minimal, install openbox, and lightdm reboot and it works (well I get to the login screen). Do the exact same thing but with Slim and it crashes on the /dev/sda1: clean ... files ... blocks screen
Kingsy 2017-02-23 10:23:02
what in the world
Bashing-om 2017-02-23 10:23:16
Kingsy: Not find the one I want for a guide - poor memory that I have - but this: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/minimal is good .
Kingsy 2017-02-23 10:23:42
Bashing-om: seem my message above??
Kingsy 2017-02-23 10:23:44
really weird
wedgie 2017-02-23 10:23:53
DustBunny: what does their documentation say the proper permissions are?

Need help. I am running Ubuntu 16 on a desktop. I have Monitor 1 which supports 1920x1080. Monitor 2 supports 1280x800. When I connect the desktop to Mintor 1, it works perfect. However, when I connect to Mointor 2, I end up booting to a blacksccreen after the Ubuntu's purple sccreen. I edited GRUB to include "nomodeset" which allows me to properly set boot Mointor 1 and 2. However, I am unable
Zythyr 2017-02-23 10:24:26
to change the mointor resolution.
DustBunny 2017-02-23 10:24:26
Well it doesn't say, just errno 13
DustBunny 2017-02-23 10:24:27
"Errno 13: Permission Denied"
nicomachus 2017-02-23 10:24:39
Zythyr: you can use xrandr to set it manually
Bashing-om 2017-02-23 10:25:17
Kingsy: I do think ya got to configure the login manager ( slim ) . In all instances can you boot to terminal and then try and start the GUI ?
nicomachus 2017-02-23 10:25:22
Zythyr: see here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution
Zythyr 2017-02-23 10:26:07
nicomachus I used the command xrandr, but it only had one opption for hte reoslution which is 640x480

I'm trying to get my bluetooth earbuds to work with Ubuntu. Ubuntu sees them and has paired them....but it shows connection off. What can I do?
Kingsy 2017-02-23 10:27:35
Bashing-om: only if I enter recovery mode first
Kingsy 2017-02-23 10:27:58
Bashing-om: which seems weird in itself? why would that work but booting directly wouldnt?
Kingsy 2017-02-23 10:28:11
Bashing-om: sorry I cant remember what you said early about grub options.. could that be the fix?
Bashing-om 2017-02-23 10:28:52
Kingsy: Then something is hosed up if the only access you have is via recovery . In Booting to terminal the GUI graphic's driver is not at that time even loaded .
Kingsy 2017-02-23 10:29:20
Bashing-om: thig is tho, if I install lightdm then reboot it works.. no recovery mode needed I get to the login screen
Kingsy 2017-02-23 10:40:39
Bashing-om: cool, but surely that cant be a feature? the system crashes if you do not have a GUI unless you tell it not to crash...
Kingsy 2017-02-23 10:40:42
sounds strange.
CarlFK 2017-02-23 10:43:25
I'm trying to build http://packages.ubuntu.com/zesty/purple-matrix for xenial. wget the org and debian tars.. untar.. debuild errors http://paste.ubuntu.com/24055250/
Bashing-om 2017-02-23 10:43:25
Kingsy: There is a bunch I do not know about systemd ! .. I can accept that if there exist vt_handoff=7 in the boot line . will drive the system nuts if a GUI is not configured . The GUI is TTY7 .
CarlFK 2017-02-23 10:43:25
Kingsy: I don't think it is crashing. I bet if you have sshd you can ssh to it.
Kingsy 2017-02-23 10:44:48
could be the case
