I installed a second efi bootloader by running "grub-install --efi-directory=/boot/efi --boot-directory=/boot/backup --bootloader-id=backup" and I then generated /boot/backup/grub/grub.cfg with grub-mkconfig, the file seems to be ok but upon starting this "backup" bootloader the config file of ubuntu's default bootloader is read instead, that is /boot/grub/grub.cfg
anddam 2017-02-01 03:46:12
what am I doing wrong?

my issue was the line added by CA certificate in .conf file, once i erased it i was able to restart apache again.

Hi guys. A few weeks ago I set up a task with Cron for rsync to save my server files from my drive 1 to my drive 2 on my unbuntu server. For the first few days it was working great. I checked today and I found out that I got an e-mail from my server https://paste.ubuntu.com/23905542/. Can you tell me what's wrong and help fix the prolem ? THank yo
matt856 2017-02-01 03:50:10
u for your help
Pici 2017-02-01 03:51:10
matt856: did it work?
matt856 2017-02-01 03:52:03
Pici Did you tell me to do something ? I didn't see your answer
Pici 2017-02-01 03:52:15
matt856: Did the cronjob work?
matt856 2017-02-01 03:52:24
Yes for a few days only
matt856 2017-02-01 03:53:18
I can see that the last backup happened on january 23. From january 17 to january 23 it worked
Pici 2017-02-01 03:53:41
matt856: is that the entire email that you got?
matt856 2017-02-01 03:54:55
well I entered more/var/mail/zebux to check it. I'm a noob. How do I check the entire mail ?
ppf 2017-02-01 03:55:26
matt856: mail
matt856 2017-02-01 03:55:53
ppf : it says mail: command not found
matt856 2017-02-01 03:57:18
I just install mailutils
matt856 2017-02-01 03:59:12
This is the entire mail : https://paste.ubuntu.com/23905602/

looks fine

Are there plans to change alt-drag window dragging behaviour of Unity to Super-drag?
CRogers 2017-02-01 04:00:27
Because it really interferes with a lot of graphics applications.
CRogers 2017-02-01 04:00:45
And it's embarassing having to hunt down tweaks to fix it.

matt856 2017-02-01 04:01:03
pff I know ! But the files are not on my second hardrive !
matt856 2017-02-01 04:01:14
ppf not pff
matt856 2017-02-01 04:01:28
sorry about that
Kali_Yuga 2017-02-01 04:01:28
BluesKaj: k used audacity thx. my voice crackles with arecord
matt856 2017-02-01 04:01:59
ppf : I know, but the files are not on my second hardrive !
BluesKaj 2017-02-01 04:02:31
Kali_Yuga, arecord works, it might be more sensitive to your input device like a mic
BluesKaj 2017-02-01 04:03:01
audacity gives more control over the volume
matt856 2017-02-01 04:03:31
ppf I found in another email this message https://paste.ubuntu.com/23905611/
noc_ 2017-02-01 04:03:46
CRogers, try #ubuntu-devel channel
k1l 2017-02-01 04:03:53
CRogers: alt+drag is the standard on linux desktops, iirc.
CRogers 2017-02-01 04:03:57
noc_: thanks, willdo
k1l 2017-02-01 04:04:37
CRogers: and i dont know what should be embarassing about it
user109532 2017-02-01 04:09:38
how do i empty trash as su?
user109532 2017-02-01 04:10:26
trashed a file while running nautilus with sudo and now i cant empty trash
dil3mm4 2017-02-01 04:10:58
Hello
nicomachus 2017-02-01 04:11:08
user109532: what do you mean running nautilus with sudo? you mean gksudo?
dil3mm4 2017-02-01 04:11:08
I'm experiencing probs with openssh
dil3mm4 2017-02-01 04:11:19
I just can't connect to it remotely
dil3mm4 2017-02-01 04:11:24
someone has some spare time to help me out?
nicomachus 2017-02-01 04:11:37
dil3mm4: do you get an error message?
dil3mm4 2017-02-01 04:11:47
just a connection timeout
user109532 2017-02-01 04:11:49
nicomachus: just sudo. i know its a bad practice but laziness happens
nicomachus 2017-02-01 04:12:26
dil3mm4: do you have physical access to the machine you're trying to connect to?
CRogers 2017-02-01 04:12:35
k1l: it's embarassing when you're showing someone how great Linux is for creative work on a fresh install and forget that you haven't remapped that key, so it doesn't work in *any* of your graphics applications.
k1l 2017-02-01 04:12:44
user109532: gksudo nautilus /home/your_username/.local/share/Trash
k1l 2017-02-01 04:12:44
# change the path to match your username
dil3mm4 2017-02-01 04:12:46
nicomachus: via teamviewer
fiter 2017-02-01 04:13:11
dil3mm4: this is for remote access ??
CRogers 2017-02-01 04:13:16
k1l: It was always a bad idea to alt-drag. wm actions should be mapped to the super key (like most of them already are)
nicomachus 2017-02-01 04:13:32
dil3mm4: ok. 1st make sure it's on. then make sure you are using the correct user@host address. Then make sure that port 22 is open.
user109532 2017-02-01 04:13:47
kil: aha thanks
k1l 2017-02-01 04:13:48
CRogers: that is your opinion on that matter.
dil3mm4 2017-02-01 04:14:01
nicomachus: already done
xangua 2017-02-01 04:14:02
Most of them?
fiter 2017-02-01 04:14:40
I want to access a system remotely having ubuntu 15.10 installed , how it can be possible ??
k1l 2017-02-01 04:15:21
fiter: uh, 15.10 is dead. you should make sure to upgrade that box to 16.04 very soon.
CRogers 2017-02-01 04:15:24
k1l: Yes, it is. Though I'm not the only one who has that oppinion. Clearly it's advantageous to use the Super key to seperate wm actions from applicaiton actions.
noc_ 2017-02-01 04:16:13
CRogers, I have unity here, not xfce, but alt+drag works here in various apps, what do you mean exactly?
noc_ 2017-02-01 04:16:23
CRogers, I have xfce not unity... sorry
k1l 2017-02-01 04:16:44
noc_: he wants nothing to use alt key because his apps use alt key.
CRogers 2017-02-01 04:17:17
noc_: alt-drag for moving windows overides applicaiton-level control.
fiter 2017-02-01 04:17:22
k1l: If I start upgrading then will it not disfunct other already runing tools ???
CRogers 2017-02-01 04:17:59
k1l: Not true. alt can be used as long as the super key is also used for wm actions.
k1l 2017-02-01 04:18:06
fiter: you have no choice of running 15.10 anymore. it was a bad decision to use 15.10 and not upgrade it.
mcphail 2017-02-01 04:18:26
CRogers: whilst i, personally, agree with your reasoning, Unity is just performing the expected behaviour for a Linux desktop. Alt-drag is standard. By all means, file a bug report but I don't think you'll get much agreement
fiter 2017-02-01 04:18:46
k1l: I will soon upgrade but currently my tools are running
CRogers 2017-02-01 04:18:50
mcphail: Thanks for the advice. I'll do that.
k1l 2017-02-01 04:19:02
fiter: an upgrade will need a restart then.
fiter 2017-02-01 04:19:25
thats what i can't afford at the moment
fiter 2017-02-01 04:19:48
so within this is there a solution to access the system remotely ??
k1l 2017-02-01 04:20:28
fiter: your machine is heavily insecure. look at ubuntu.com/usn which shows all recent security updates you dont get anymore. since july 2016, to be precise
fiter 2017-02-01 04:21:01
k1l: I accept that
CRogers 2017-02-01 04:21:22
noc_: So for example, Blender uses the alt-drag hotkey for rotating the view. GIMP uses it to constrain proportions while resizing. In all graphics applications alt, shift, ctrl keys are used as modifiers for the action you are performing on-canvas.
k1l 2017-02-01 04:21:46
fiter: use ssh to connect remotely.
CRogers 2017-02-01 04:21:49
noc_: So it's a big problem when the wm has usurped it. :)
charlie_one 2017-02-01 04:21:55
Y am I losing internet-connection though wifi-connection is ok?
fiter 2017-02-01 04:21:59
but what you will do when you have run a software for research and that will perform its activity through the whole night ??
fiter 2017-02-01 04:22:17
k1l: what about team viewer ?
anddam 2017-02-01 04:22:23
I have a grub-efi bootloader whose grub.cfg loads /boot/backup/grub/grub.cfg, yet when I run it it reads /boot/grub/grub.cfg , why is this?
charlie_one 2017-02-01 04:22:48
no logic to this problem. sometimes I'm online for days and sometimes only for a few minutes
k1l 2017-02-01 04:22:51
fiter: use a LTS release in the first place. dont put that machine on the internet.
fiter 2017-02-01 04:23:47
k1l: ok , what can be the security threats as you are refering again and again because I am a beginner ?
k1l 2017-02-01 04:24:08
fiter: look at ubuntu.com/usn

Hey, anyone knows how to convert pdf to editable word format in ubuntu 16.04 ?
stainyo 2017-02-01 04:36:58
look for a PDF editor
Scoop7 2017-02-01 04:37:09
need open source
stainyo 2017-02-01 04:37:31
I know.. in your download options

Hey anyone here have any experience with resetting password in windows 10 from ubuntu?
mcphail 2017-02-01 04:38:23
Scoop7: I haven't found any good conversion software. The Libreoffice conversion works for some PDFs but most of them don't work well. I've relied on online tools (non-open source)
NDBoosty 2017-02-01 04:38:42
hey folks
NDBoosty 2017-02-01 04:38:45
hey folks so given the recent gitlab issues with their outage it got me thinkat work on how to force a bash prompt on prod servers... is there a way to do this and override any users bash prompt no matter what
stainyo 2017-02-01 04:38:47
oh!!! it's called PDFmod or modPDF
Scoop7 2017-02-01 04:38:57
non open source, but free ? mcphail ?
stainyo 2017-02-01 04:39:43
it's on my ubuntu at home
mcphail 2017-02-01 04:39:52
Scoop7: it was the last time I used it. it's on my bookmarks list at home. I'll see if I can dig it out as it always gave me decent results. But I haven't used it for a long time
stainyo 2017-02-01 04:40:29
how can I backup my android phone to ubuntu then restore it ?
Scoop7 2017-02-01 04:40:42
mcphail: thanks for that ! stainyo: this pdf mod seems to only edit pdf but does not the ability to convert to word ?
ducasse 2017-02-01 04:40:45
NDBoosty: what do you mean by 'force a bash prompt'?
stainyo 2017-02-01 04:41:20
covert to word... copy and paste
NDBoosty 2017-02-01 04:41:34
ducasse: baasically some visual indicator to notate were working on a production system, maybe as simple as forcing a ps1 color like red
NDBoosty 2017-02-01 04:41:55
but not sure how to override anything a user sets in their own .bashrc or .bash_profile
mcphail 2017-02-01 04:41:58
Scoop7: I think it was Zamzar which gave me the best results. Online, non FLOSS but free-as-in-beer-if-you-ignore-privacy-concerns
stainyo 2017-02-01 04:42:08
how do you backup/restore android with ubuntu ?
ducasse 2017-02-01 04:42:10
NDBoosty: no, i doubt that's possible.
JP____ 2017-02-01 04:42:20
Hey anyone here have any experience with resetting password in windows 10 from ubuntu?
ppf 2017-02-01 04:42:28
NDBoosty: you can edit PS1 to show whatever you want it to
NDBoosty 2017-02-01 04:42:56
ppf yes i know i was thinking about using something in /etc/profile.d/ or similar but not sure how to hook in after the users .bashrc or .bash_profile is ran

k1l 2017-02-01 04:43:32
JP____: i guess you better ask the ##windows guys how to reset a windows password at all.
NDBoosty 2017-02-01 04:43:37
egh were looking for something that shows up repeatedly
NDBoosty 2017-02-01 04:43:45
like the bash prompt, coloring it red
NDBoosty 2017-02-01 04:44:04
but a user can override that by changing their PS1 var to whatever
NDBoosty 2017-02-01 04:44:20
and for prod systems i want to force it and not allow the user to change it
