sure, in this case I was looking for a ls "builtin" pagination (I know I can write an alias but chances are in some corner case I cannot think of now that will break), since I didn't found one tried with |less and then asked here
anddam 2017-03-01 22:45:54
just to recap

i want to fetch some data by creating a session what libratu should i use in shell scripting ?

ducasse 2017-03-01 22:46:16
anddam: there is a function there that does what you want
anddam 2017-03-01 22:46:23
when I first saw the auto-pagination in git I found it annoying, but it's an acquired taste and is actually very useful
anddam 2017-03-01 22:46:45
thanks all for the info, I'm set for now

Hi i want to update my ubuntu server 14.04.2 to 16.04 what is the best way to do it ? its a mail server
k1l 2017-03-01 22:51:26
theptr: the command is "sudo do-release-upgrade". but i guess you want to make sure your backups are fine, for murphys law
theptr 2017-03-01 22:52:03
k1l, the problem is that it is in a datacenter so i cant just use clonezilla..
bumbar 2017-03-01 22:52:15
will "service lightdm force-reload" not close all windows like restart does?
k1l 2017-03-01 22:52:53
theptr: see if the hoster has some recovery boot and backup space. or just copy it to your local place
k1l 2017-03-01 22:53:04
bumbar: yes, it will close all programs
theptr 2017-03-01 22:53:23
k1l, okay im going to contact them.
theptr 2017-03-01 22:53:38
k1l, thanks for your time :)
bumbar 2017-03-01 22:54:03
k1l, is there a way to reload? sometimes everything stops responding (mouse still works though, and ssh) and closing all windows is a major pita
k1l 2017-03-01 22:54:54
bumbar: not really. kill the programs that is blocking. but reload will reload the xserver which means all programs are down
B105PH3RE 2017-03-01 22:55:43
unless you can some stuff on console your soL you have to shutdown apps
B105PH3RE 2017-03-01 22:56:41
is there any way to assign a specific keyboard and mouse to a specific terminal that can be assigned to a specific monitor on the same system?
bumbar 2017-03-01 22:58:28
k1l, i've tried killing the app which i was using when it froze, but didn't seem to help. also, htop didn't show any process hogging cpu

bumbar: you could try running "unity --replace" if you're using unity
hateball 2017-03-01 23:01:08
bumbar: I'd ctrl+alt+f1 to tty1 and service restart lightdm, if you are fine with all apps closing
hateball 2017-03-01 23:01:47
bumbar: you should try akiks suggestion first
bumbar 2017-03-01 23:02:05
hateball, ctrl alt fN doesn't work, i have to ssh in. and i'd rather not all apps closing

Guys strange situation, I college of mind asked to remove password from a .docx document to order it to be editable. But on libre office I've already can edit it fully :D And when I converted it to .rtf and searched for password i didn't find it....
Scoop7 2017-03-01 23:03:11
is it possible the password value is behind another name ?
hateball 2017-03-01 23:03:52
Scoop7: You are probably better off asking in #libreoffice
hateball 2017-03-01 23:04:26
bumbar: well if you ssh you cant attach to the running X session so you cant use akiks suggestion anyhow

being that it's a Linux utility, that'd be correct, but see the above link

After flagging my USB bootable, I saved all my minimal ISO (unzipped) data to my pendrive and tried to boot through it but unable to. What do i lack?

thats not how to do it at all

OerHeks 2017-03-01 23:22:31
the wiki says rufus https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick

don't 'unzip' the iso
EriC^^ 2017-03-01 23:23:32
theosvoitha: do you already have ubuntu installed or a linux system?
theosvoitha 2017-03-01 23:24:34
EriC^^: Nope. i deleted it for fresh install. Wanna try Minimal Install.
theosvoitha 2017-03-01 23:24:48
installing along with Windows 7
EriC^^ 2017-03-01 23:24:53
theosvoitha: try linux live usb creator
rymax99 2017-03-01 23:25:31
I've never had issues with Rufus in Windows
rymax99 2017-03-01 23:26:04
theosvoitha, if you're installing alongside windows to try it out, I'd advise fully backing up your windows install
rymax99 2017-03-01 23:26:11
(if you have anything on it you care about)
theosvoitha 2017-03-01 23:26:26
rymax99: yes i will. thanks :-)
theosvoitha 2017-03-01 23:26:48

EriC^^: ha ha ha.
theosvoitha 2017-03-01 23:27:50
rymax99: just a humble question. Why you mentioned that we shouldn't unzip iso's?
theosvoitha 2017-03-01 23:28:33
thanks OerHeks also for mentioning 'Rufus'. it seems good too. :-)
coolserverguy 2017-03-01 23:28:54
Hey all, im trying to get some help. Really confused about my ubuntu LXC setup.
rymax99 2017-03-01 23:28:56
there's no reason to, an ISO isn't compressed, it's just an image
ducasse 2017-03-01 23:28:57
theosvoitha: because iso images are not 'zipped' to begin with
coolserverguy 2017-03-01 23:29:10
So I have setup iptables to forward external address to my lxc containers via NAT.. its working great.
rymax99 2017-03-01 23:29:24
and most tools used to put the ISO on media won't take a folder, they only accept images(isos)
hateball 2017-03-01 23:29:47
theosvoitha: when you unzip it wont put the bootloader bits where they need to be, it will just copy files out from the image
elias_a 2017-03-01 23:29:54
markus-k: My guess is you have broken hardware.
coolserverguy 2017-03-01 23:29:55
I've also blocked out ssh on the firewall to stop ssh access, it seems to work fine shows block on port scan and i cant connect either, but when i check my logs i can see other people are still managing to access ssh and attempt brute force
coolserverguy 2017-03-01 23:30:08
How are they getting around iptables rules, its blocking me so why isn't it blocking them?
dupondje_ 2017-03-01 23:30:34

markus-k 2017-03-01 23:30:51

theosvoitha 2017-03-01 23:31:13
rymax99: i have actually been installing Non-Ubuntu distro in my USB by (1) Flagging pen drive 'bootable' (2) Saving unzipped DIstro iso's (3) Installing and linking Bootloader. And i had been good to go.
k1l 2017-03-01 23:31:15
coolserverguy: you might want to ask #lxcontainers for lxc issues
coolserverguy 2017-03-01 23:31:33
thanks k1l not sure its lxc or iptables though
theosvoitha 2017-03-01 23:31:57
