grub-install installs by default a bootloader called "ubuntu" in the ESP, I'd like to install a second one as backup, I'm reading grub-install(8) but I'm not very familiar with grub install so I'm unsure what's appropriate for efi
anddam 2017-02-01 01:47:23
I figure --efi-directory has to be /boot/efi

I am trying to somehow configure a magnetic card reader and the official software runs only on windows. Does anyone know how to configure it on linux? the brand is Gertec
Onepamopa 2017-02-01 01:48:37
XIngLing, if the OEM doesn't provide linux drivers, someone has to reverse-engineer a driver.
XIngLing 2017-02-01 01:49:57
Onepamopa: that's too bad
hateball 2017-02-01 01:50:17
XIngLing: you'll need to apt install pcsc-tools pcscd
hateball 2017-02-01 01:50:29
if it's some smartcard you are trying to read
hateball 2017-02-01 01:51:07
the device still needs to have kernel modules, but you'll see that in dmesg when you plug it in
XIngLing 2017-02-01 01:53:41
hateball: will look into that, thanks

hello , can someone help me install DVB receiver t900?
afwang 2017-02-01 01:56:51
Hi all. Is there a way to use geeqie's image comparison feature on the command line, or do I have to recreate a script using ImageMagick myself?
Ilyas 2017-02-01 01:58:07
so, snapd and ubuntu-core-launcher are being held back on my server, is there any particular reason for that?
k1l_ 2017-02-01 01:58:37
Ilyas: did you run sudo apt full-upgrade ?
Ilyas 2017-02-01 01:58:44
I dont think I have, no
Ilyas 2017-02-01 01:58:51
just update and upgrade
Guest88331 2017-02-01 02:12:42
Please, I need help to get to know how de-install completely and securely a third-party software using the terminal.
EriC^^ 2017-02-01 02:13:07
Guest88331: how did you install it?
raxterakos 2017-02-01 02:14:58
can someon help me install tv usb stick right firmware?i am new linux user
Guest88331 2017-02-01 02:16:40
Eric^^: I did it from de web page of Pixum. I downloaded a .tar and after that exceuted a ./perl. This installed lybraries and created a launcher at the desktop. But a double-click over the launcher does nothing. Pixum does not offer any support for Linux users, so I prefer to remove the entire package and try any other solution. Thank you.
Southern_Gentlem 2017-02-01 02:17:10
raxterakos, what tv stick and what chipset does it use
EriC^^ 2017-02-01 02:17:33
Guest88331: does the installer offer any uninstall option?
raxterakos 2017-02-01 02:17:57
omega DVB receiver t900?
k1l_ 2017-02-01 02:18:09
raxterakos: did you look at systemsettings -> software and update -> last tab?
FManTropyx 2017-02-01 02:18:13
wat just happen
raxterakos 2017-02-01 02:18:19
Bus 001 Device 015: ID 048d:9135 Integrated Technology Express, Inc. Zolid Mini DVB-T Stick
raxterakos 2017-02-01 02:18:31
k1l_: yes nothing there
Guest88331 2017-02-01 02:18:43
Eric^^: I'm afraid, anyone.
Southern_Gentlem 2017-02-01 02:19:14
Guest88331, you should have been afraid when installing anything outside the distro repos
raxterakos 2017-02-01 02:19:23
Southern_Gentlem: omega dvb receiver t900 [15:18] Bus 001 Device 015: ID 048d:9135 Integrated Technology Express, Inc. Zolid Mini DVB-T Stick
Southern_Gentlem 2017-02-01 02:20:07
raxterakos, and what does google say that is the chipset and software needed for that is?
raxterakos 2017-02-01 02:20:30
Southern_Gentlem: i need to install right firmwere but i dont know how
Southern_Gentlem 2017-02-01 02:20:47
raxterakos, my previous question
raxterakos 2017-02-01 02:20:51
Southern_Gentlem: i did somthing that i found in a german site but i dont know if its right
Southern_Gentlem 2017-02-01 02:21:12
raxterakos, is it working ?
raxterakos 2017-02-01 02:21:39
Southern_Gentlem: i can't run the software to test it
raxterakos 2017-02-01 02:21:56
i installed with wine the software but it dosent run
Southern_Gentlem 2017-02-01 02:21:57
then you didnt do something right then
ikevin 2017-02-01 02:22:21
raxterakos, try: dmesg | grep -i firmware
hateball 2017-02-01 02:22:26
raxterakos: Software installed in Wine isnt going to put firmware blobs for the kernel to use
k1l_ 2017-02-01 02:22:29
raxterakos: wine doesnt help. ubuntu got software to use dvb hardware
Guest88331 2017-02-01 02:22:47
Southern_Gentlem: Thank you for your help. Even when does exists a specific package for Linux and it seems that many other Linux users have installed it without problems?
raxterakos 2017-02-01 02:24:42
ikevin: https://paste.ubuntu.com/23905184/
noc_ 2017-02-01 02:25:23
Guest88331, next time install in a live dvd session
hateball 2017-02-01 02:25:35
raxterakos: That looks like it loaded it just fine, have you tried watching in say VLC?
k1l_ 2017-02-01 02:25:37
raxterakos: you have the firmware for that device.
raxterakos 2017-02-01 02:26:00
Oh
k1l_ 2017-02-01 02:26:07
raxterakos: so use the dvbutils or another program for it. dont use windows programs i wine. that doesnt work
raxterakos 2017-02-01 02:26:10
why i can't run the software from wine?
ikevin 2017-02-01 02:26:15
raxterakos, https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Kworld_UB499-2T
noc_ 2017-02-01 02:26:20
Guest88331, for your current system, you'd need to find someone who knows perl (which are few luckily) and is willing to understand that "perl" script you ran, and tell you the list of operations to be reversed
raxterakos 2017-02-01 02:26:55
k1l_: ikevin hateball thank you
raxterakos 2017-02-01 02:27:06
i will try that
Guest88331 2017-02-01 02:27:09
noc_: thank you for your suggestion.
k1l_ 2017-02-01 02:27:11
raxterakos: use something like vlc or me-tv or such
hateball 2017-02-01 02:28:07
raxterakos: there's also Kodi to use, but regardless the card/firmware should work just fine
ikevin 2017-02-01 02:28:26
or tvheaded
ikevin 2017-02-01 02:28:49
tvheadend*
raxterakos 2017-02-01 02:29:21
hmmm ok i will try me-tv first and then kodi and then tvheaded
k1l_ 2017-02-01 02:30:13
raxterakos: you will still need to scan the channel list with the dvbtools
raxterakos 2017-02-01 02:30:57
k1l_: step 1) install me-tv and 2) install dvbtools?
raxterakos 2017-02-01 02:31:03
i am right?
k1l_ 2017-02-01 02:31:40
raxterakos: the installation order doesnt matter. you need to create a channel list that other programs can play, like me-tv.
raxterakos 2017-02-01 02:32:21
k1l_: can you guide me how to do?i am afraid to format again
k1l_ 2017-02-01 02:34:02
install dvb-apps, then run scan dvb-t > channels.conf, then open the channels.conf with something like vlc or me-tv

Hello, I am having trouble using xchat client for IRC. I am using ubuntu 14.04 LTS. I am trying to connect to freenode as irc.freenode.net. It says "you may have misspelled". Apart from this, I am also unable to connect to any of the servers in the network list. Please help
BluesKaj 2017-02-01 02:39:37
peace_, try chat.freenode.net
k1l_ 2017-02-01 02:39:40
peace_: use chat.freenode.net and one of that ports: 6665-6667 and 8000-8002
dharma 2017-02-01 02:40:14
why
dharma 2017-02-01 02:40:32
hey
BluesKaj 2017-02-01 02:40:34
peace_, also try Hexchat instead
BluesKaj 2017-02-01 02:40:42
!xchat
ubottu 2017-02-01 02:40:42
xchat and xchat-gnome have not had stable releases in years. xchat was removed from Ubuntu for 16.04. Consider using hexchat instead, which is actively developed and available in 14.04 onwards.
peace_ 2017-02-01 02:40:45
k1l_ : I will try with your solution
dharma 2017-02-01 02:40:50
can anyone help with packetfence
peace_ 2017-02-01 02:41:43
BluesKaj : I tried with thunderbird earlier, but it wasn't working. So i downloaded xchat.
FManTropyx 2017-02-01 02:42:02
since when are Thunderbird and xchat alternatives to each other?
peace_ 2017-02-01 02:42:23
BluesKaj : Though I tried changing it to chat.freenode, but the problem persists.
BluesKaj 2017-02-01 02:42:48
thunderbird has an irc chat option, FManTropyx
BluesKaj 2017-02-01 02:43:27
peace_, xchat is no longer supported, try Hexchat
k1l 2017-02-01 02:43:48
dharma: their website got a installation howto for their 3rd party package.
peace_ 2017-02-01 02:43:50
FManTropyx : Thunderbird also supports IRC
FManTropyx 2017-02-01 02:43:54
I see... two years from now it will probably also have a spreadsheet, bittorrent and a video editor
FManTropyx 2017-02-01 02:44:23
I was already thinking of moving away from using Thunderbird, because it has become such a bloated beast
peace_ 2017-02-01 02:44:45
BluesKaj : I will try hexchat. Well currently I am using mIrc in windows to seek help . :p
k1l 2017-02-01 02:44:46
peace_: what is the exact error you get? please put on paste.ubuntu.com and show the link here
dharma 2017-02-01 02:44:51
hi
dharma 2017-02-01 02:45:03
what is torrent similar in ubuntu
peace_ 2017-02-01 02:45:05
BluesKaj : Okay.
