arooni: you need a serial console, generally
nacc 2017-03-06 07:09:55
arooni: can possibly also use netconsole, if your network stack is not what panics

i need a modem connnection?
nacc 2017-03-06 07:10:50
arooni: no
nacc 2017-03-06 07:11:03
arooni: well, if by modem you mean rs232 -- then maybe :)
nacc 2017-03-06 07:11:19
arooni: a kernel panic means the kernel is dead, it can't (generally) log that ... as the kernel is dead
arooni 2017-03-06 07:11:25
well that seems way more advanced than i am looking for

i am just trying to find out why my ubuntu laptop running 4.8 kernel can't resume from suspend

Hey folks, I'm trying to get X11VNC running on a headless box running Xubuntu 16.04. I'm able to connect, but I'm being limited to 1024x768 even after installing this xorg dummy driver.

arooni: if the kernel panics, it cannot write to filesystem anymore. only console output for the backtrace is possible.

when I try to apt-get install nvidia-367 I get a build error "-fstack-protector-strong not supported by compiler"
nacc 2017-03-06 07:12:36
arooni: iirc, there are ways to 'simulate' the suspend/resume without turning off the console
arooni 2017-03-06 07:12:37
i tried to do that sysrq + alt + keys but it didnt seem to work at all
TheAmorphous 2017-03-06 07:12:38
I've created a 10-monitor.conf file in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d and it seems to be taking its parameters successfully. I can see a huge diference switching from 16 to 24 depth in that file.
doug16k 2017-03-06 07:12:40
my compiler works fine, I use it everyday
TheAmorphous 2017-03-06 07:12:47
But setting Modes to 1920x1080 doesn't have any effect
nacc 2017-03-06 07:13:17
doug16k: what compiler?
doug16k 2017-03-06 07:13:21
gcc-5
nacc 2017-03-06 07:13:32
doug16k: from Ubuntu?
doug16k 2017-03-06 07:13:36
yes
doug16k 2017-03-06 07:13:46
cc is symlinked to gcc-5
doug16k 2017-03-06 07:13:53
the package says it is using cc
nacc 2017-03-06 07:13:57
doug16k: `man gcc`, do you see an entry for -fstack-protector-strong ?

Hi everyone, I am trying to get Ceph working on an autopilot openstack deployment however when I try to use any ceph commands I am getting "unable to find a keyring client.admin.keyring" has anyone come across this before?
nacc 2017-03-06 07:14:17
muffinslinger: may want to ask in #ubuntu-server
muffinslinger 2017-03-06 07:14:24
thankyou nacc
muffinslinger 2017-03-06 07:14:26
will do
enw2512 2017-03-06 07:14:46
arooni: console can be a the linux console (tty1 for example), serial console (ttyS0 for example) or netconsole (never used that). for serial console your machine needs a physical serial port (rs232, 9 pin connector mostly) a serial cable and another machine to connect to, which reads the serial messages.

guys what is the "chown" command that lets you write on a internal HDD drive?
swjhwjwej 2017-03-06 07:33:31
nacc: Indeed; you do that when installing the OS or with Gparted?
nacc 2017-03-06 07:33:44
swjhwjwej: huh?
nacc 2017-03-06 07:33:56
swjhwjwej: you haven't provided *any* of the information i asked for
swjhwjwej 2017-03-06 07:35:01
nacc: Ill give it to you, which command should I use?. Sorry
nacc 2017-03-06 07:35:14
swjhwjwej: you need to take a step back and explain the actual problem. How are your filesystems mounted, what user are you logged in as, what is the ownership of the files and directories you are trying to access, etc. (all in a pastebin)
nacc 2017-03-06 07:35:27
swjhwjwej: probably all of that *before* you changed the ownership
swjhwjwej 2017-03-06 07:36:47
nacc: yes I needed it fast
nacc 2017-03-06 07:36:51
swjhwjwej: and you implied (earlier) you've done this before, which is almost certainly wrong
swjhwjwej 2017-03-06 07:38:30
nacc: sorry, thanks for the help anyway
