xenial_: I'm back
xenial_ 2017-03-03 04:48:45
Ok
Menzador 2017-03-03 04:49:00
xenial_: So it was in ~/.kde/share/config last you saw it?
xenial_ 2017-03-03 04:49:36
Yes it was,
xenial_ 2017-03-03 04:49:56
upgraded t0 16.04.2 and its gone
Menzador 2017-03-03 04:51:46
xenial_: It appears the kdenliverc is now written to ~/.config , did you check in there?
xenial_ 2017-03-03 04:52:05
doing that now
xenial_ 2017-03-03 04:54:01
Menzador: found it, thank you

hi i am facing issue with roundcube
sonu_nk 2017-03-03 04:56:04
https://paste.ubuntu.com/24102633/
blackrabbit 2017-03-03 04:56:54
guys do you know about any SW that I can modify screen brightness from tray icon?
koffeinfriedhof 2017-03-03 04:58:33
blackrabbit: have a look at redshift
ikevin 2017-03-03 04:58:43
sonu_nk, dpkg -configure roundcube-core
blackrabbit 2017-03-03 04:58:54
koffeinfriedhof, I am using redshift actually
koffeinfriedhof 2017-03-03 04:59:14
and what are you missing?
sonu_nk 2017-03-03 04:59:20
ikevin: dpkg -configure roundcube-core dpkg: error: unknown option -o
blackrabbit 2017-03-03 04:59:56
koffeinfriedhof, I am looking for this https://itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Brightness_control_Ubuntu.jpeg
blackrabbit 2017-03-03 05:00:06
but I want icon just as a volume to change it
ikevin 2017-03-03 05:00:13
sonu_nk, oups, --configure
Zythyr 2017-03-03 05:00:54
Need help. I have a mointor that only supports 1280x800 or 912x1140. When I connect this monitor to my Ubuntu 16.04, it boots to a black screen. Using an alternate high resolution montior makes it boot perfectly fine. How can I fix this issue?
sonu_nk 2017-03-03 05:01:07
ikevin: i want to install mail server on my ubutnu 16
koffeinfriedhof 2017-03-03 05:02:09
blackrabbit: ah. that seems to be another tool like https://www.maketecheasier.com/configure-screen-brightness-in-ubuntu/ (bit old)
blackrabbit 2017-03-03 05:03:12
koffeinfriedhof, yeah it's implemented on the kali linux
blackrabbit 2017-03-03 05:04:20
maybe I can extract it from it
dimisdas 2017-03-03 05:05:21
sonu_nk: roundcube is a webmail client, not a mail server
sonu_nk 2017-03-03 05:06:01
dimisdas: yes.. i am aware about this.. i want to install entire email server on my linode... can you help me in this ?
sojusnik 2017-03-03 05:06:19
mvvvv: Indeed, journalctl is installed!
OerHeks 2017-03-03 05:06:44
sonu_nk, you better ask this in #ubuntu-server, and you get help there already ?
mvvvv 2017-03-03 05:06:57
sojusnik, do you see the problem with journalctl -p4 ?
OerHeks 2017-03-03 05:07:12
mailservers are not an easy job, you have been told before
sonu_nk 2017-03-03 05:07:31
yes
dimisdas 2017-03-03 05:07:53
sonu_nk you really should set up your own mailserver
dimisdas 2017-03-03 05:07:56
shouldnt*
koffeinfriedhof 2017-03-03 05:08:09
blackrabbit: perhaps you'll get the name. There are a lot of tools for handling acpi-specific things. You may find it with "apt search brightness" or similar.
ducasse 2017-03-03 05:08:09
sonu_nk: we've explained this several times, you need a lot of knowledge to do this securely
sojusnik 2017-03-03 05:08:19
mvvvv: checking out... what do I have to search for?
sonu_nk 2017-03-03 05:08:26
ducasse: ok
sonu_nk 2017-03-03 05:08:33
thank you
dimisdas 2017-03-03 05:09:14
sonu_nk: You'll need a Mail Transfer Agent, a Mail Delivery Agent, an IMAP / POP3 Server and possibly Webmail software. It's too complicated
blackrabbit 2017-03-03 05:09:20
koffeinfriedhof, tried a lot, didn't find anything like it
dimisdas 2017-03-03 05:09:39
sonu_nk: not to mention Antivirus, antispam, DKIM signings etc etc
mvvvv 2017-03-03 05:09:40
sojusnik, errors about your problem I forgot :)
sonu_nk 2017-03-03 05:09:51
ok
ducasse 2017-03-03 05:10:10
sonu_nk: you also need to understand dns and other network protocols
sojusnik 2017-03-03 05:10:52
mvvvv: hehe, when this crash happens again, I will look there for some hints. Thanks meanwhile. Can I PM you next time?
sonu_nk 2017-03-03 05:11:13
ducasse: dimisdas thankyou.. so conclussion is this , i cant do this time ?
sonu_nk 2017-03-03 05:11:14
right
mvvvv 2017-03-03 05:11:24
sojusnik, you'll get more support here
sojusnik 2017-03-03 05:11:35
k, thx!
ducasse 2017-03-03 05:12:02
sonu_nk: no, i would not recommend it. there are services who will handle administration of your own domain for you, use one of those instead.
dimisdas 2017-03-03 05:12:22
sonu_nk: if you want to use your own domain, perhaps you should look into paid mail services, like Google Apps or O365
OerHeks 2017-03-03 05:12:59
o365 .. really ?
koffeinfriedhof 2017-03-03 05:13:04
blackrabbit: it seems to be the default gnome-settings - brightness&screen setup. Perhaps you'll have to activate it via gconf?
dimisdas 2017-03-03 05:13:30
Oerheks: whatever floats their boat :P
blackrabbit 2017-03-03 05:15:21
koffeinfriedhof, ohh I am using unity, but it maybe true that it's default in gnome
koffeinfriedhof 2017-03-03 05:16:25
blackrabbit: then you should try gnome-power-manager or gnome-applets
horsewhip 2017-03-03 05:19:45
Office 365 is actually pretty good – I do prefer Fastmail though.
horsewhip 2017-03-03 05:19:54
I use Fastmail for my own domains.
blackrabbit 2017-03-03 05:21:36
koffeinfriedhof, thank you, I will try unity-tweak-tool and google how to add something to power-manager
koffeinfriedhof 2017-03-03 05:21:52
blackrabbit: good luck :)
xubuntu_2 2017-03-03 05:22:43
Hi! Some time ago someone suggested me a command on the command prompt would let me format my SSD safely before selling it on-line and avoid theft of personal data. Time has come to sale but I don't remember the command. I think it was ' write something 0 1mb. If anyone can remind it to me I'd be thankful.
bogsdollocks 2017-03-03 05:24:16
xubuntu_2 overwrite with 1;s
blackrabbit 2017-03-03 05:24:17
xubuntu_2, dd should do it
bogsdollocks 2017-03-03 05:24:33
badblocks does it
matt|home 2017-03-03 05:24:36
hello.. anyone here have experience dualbooting operating systems and using partition software? i appear to have broken something :\
matt|home 2017-03-03 05:24:46
silly me i thought ubuntu software could do that automatically
xubuntu_2 2017-03-03 05:25:16
matt|home, there is a boot loader repairing program. I don't remember its name though.
matt|home 2017-03-03 05:25:40
i dont think there's anything wrong with the bootloader, just one of the partitions i made is 'unusable' for some insane reason
xubuntu_2 2017-03-03 05:25:46
bogsdollocks, blackrabbit I don't know how to do that. Could you explain further please?
tgm4883 2017-03-03 05:25:59
!bootinfo
ubottu 2017-03-03 05:26:00
Boot info script is a useful script for diagnosing boot problems. Please run the script following the directions here: http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ and then !pastebin the RESULTS.txt for us to use to help diagnose your problem.

xubuntu_2, sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=1M according to this http://askubuntu.com/questions/17640/how-can-i-securely-erase-a-hard-drive
bogsdollocks 2017-03-03 05:26:41
ssd can be tricky tho
xubuntu_2 2017-03-03 05:26:56
blackrabbit, thank you! I will try that and report back if something goes wrong.
bogsdollocks 2017-03-03 05:26:58
you may deleate firmware
dimisdas 2017-03-03 05:27:00
xubuntu: sudo hdparm --security-erase NULL /dev/sda (where /dev/sda is the ssd)
bogsdollocks 2017-03-03 05:27:34
and any other hdd in the sys
bogsdollocks 2017-03-03 05:27:55
be carefull
blackrabbit 2017-03-03 05:28:02
xubuntu_2, yeah should be careful
xubuntu_2 2017-03-03 05:28:15
Ok. Does dimisdas' command sound safer?
xubuntu_2 2017-03-03 05:28:20
I only have this one disk on my computer
dimisdas 2017-03-03 05:28:21
nope
bogsdollocks 2017-03-03 05:28:57
then format it a fey times
blackrabbit 2017-03-03 05:29:03
xubuntu_2, maybe just fill it with some big files and format it multiple times/
bogsdollocks 2017-03-03 05:29:33
its not easy to get stuff/dasta of a hdd if yor not up to it
dimisdas 2017-03-03 05:30:45
xubuntu_2: try running sudo hdparm -I /dev/sda (where dev/sda is your ssd) and pastebin what it outputs
bogsdollocks 2017-03-03 05:31:25
hirens live boot
bogsdollocks 2017-03-03 05:31:31
nuke it

python öğrenmek için ubuntu kurdum . Bütün her şeyi hallettim . Önerileriniz nedir ?
OerHeks 2017-03-03 05:33:24
hi cagri, english only please
blackrabbit 2017-03-03 05:33:25
oh turkish
dimisdas 2017-03-03 05:33:27
cagri: try asking in english
blackrabbit 2017-03-03 05:33:45
cagri, I installed ubuntu to learn python. I got it all done. What are your suggestions?
cagri 2017-03-03 05:34:15
I'm trying to learn Python. I've just started. What are your suggestions?
blackrabbit 2017-03-03 05:34:25
cagri, install sublime text 3
frib 2017-03-03 05:34:35
i need to install ubuntu on a flash drive but the installer always uses the boot partition of my main disk instead of using the flash drive. how to work around this? thanks
cagri 2017-03-03 05:34:35
install vim editor :)
OerHeks 2017-03-03 05:34:45
CarlFK, join #python for program help
blackrabbit 2017-03-03 05:34:47
I hate vim :)
cagri 2017-03-03 05:34:52
super :)
dimisdas 2017-03-03 05:35:17
Cagri: #python-tr for turkish
CarlFK 2017-03-03 05:35:29
OerHeks: ummm who needs python help?
alkisg 2017-03-03 05:35:49
frib: use 2 usb sticks, one to boot and one to install to. You can't install on the stick you boot from.
frib 2017-03-03 05:36:08
alkisg, i am not booting from the usb stick i am booting from an iso file
alkisg 2017-03-03 05:36:20
frib, where is that iso file?
frib 2017-03-03 05:36:24
main disk
frib 2017-03-03 05:36:35
and i have already installed it several times, the problem is a bug in the installer that doesn't make the usb bootable
alkisg 2017-03-03 05:36:54
Did you tell grub to get installed to the usb stick?
alkisg 2017-03-03 05:37:07
And, what is it, mbr+ext4?
frib 2017-03-03 05:37:18
that's over my head a bit
alkisg 2017-03-03 05:37:33
frib, what's the output of `sudo parted -l`?
alkisg 2017-03-03 05:37:45
(with the stick connected
frib 2017-03-03 05:38:04
well it's different now because i followed this guide:
EriC^^ 2017-03-03 05:38:07
frib: in the installer are you choosing "Something else"
EriC^^ 2017-03-03 05:38:22
there's a bootloader location at the bottom of that menu
frib 2017-03-03 05:38:30
https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2338836
frib 2017-03-03 05:38:40
EriC^^, yes but it doesn't make a difference the installer still uses the main disk
frib 2017-03-03 05:39:05
http://paste.ubuntu.com/24102830/
EriC^^ 2017-03-03 05:39:09
frib: which are you choosing? /dev/sdb or /dev/sdb1 ?
frib 2017-03-03 05:39:15
i tried both
EriC^^ 2017-03-03 05:39:24
/dev/sdb should work
frib 2017-03-03 05:39:28
it doesn't
frib 2017-03-03 05:39:42
well maybe my terminology is off
EriC^^ 2017-03-03 05:39:43
frib: i bet its worknig and something else is going on
frib 2017-03-03 05:40:03
the usb can boot but it points to the main disk's grub i think
frib 2017-03-03 05:40:12
i dont really understand
EriC^^ 2017-03-03 05:40:14
frib: yup something else is up
frib 2017-03-03 05:40:42
so anyway following that guide the usb was still not bootable at the end even after copying all of the EFI files
EriC^^ 2017-03-03 05:40:51
frib: in the usb, is the efi partition populated?
frib 2017-03-03 05:41:14
EriC^^, immediately after install my guess is no (bios -> boot from efi file -> no results)
EriC^^ 2017-03-03 05:41:19
frib: which pc model do you have?
frib 2017-03-03 05:41:28
hp envy 15 something
EriC^^ 2017-03-03 05:41:46
frib: if you press f9 when it boots do you see a usb entry there?
frib 2017-03-03 05:41:49
yea
EriC^^ 2017-03-03 05:42:02
so did you try it?
frib 2017-03-03 05:42:20
i would have had to no?
alkisg 2017-03-03 05:42:24
frib: when you boot from the "iso file", do you have the /sys/firmware/efi directory, i.e. are you in uefi more or in bios mode when installing?
EriC^^ 2017-03-03 05:42:42
frib: and what happened when you did?
frib 2017-03-03 05:42:43
alkisg, i don't know
frib 2017-03-03 05:42:53
EriC^^, it hangs
CarlFK 2017-03-03 05:43:01
blackrabbit: https://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/Python_Office_Hours page of stuff that tries to answer "I want to learn Python"
EriC^^ 2017-03-03 05:43:11
frib: ok, nevermind, let's reinstall grub from the current install then
EriC^^ 2017-03-03 05:43:21
frib: sudo mount /dev/sdb3 /mnt
frib 2017-03-03 05:43:26
EriC^^, hold on
EriC^^ 2017-03-03 05:43:41
frib: for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done
frib 2017-03-03 05:43:47
EriC^^, just to try something i ran update-grub with my usb stick in which my main installation detected
frib 2017-03-03 05:43:57
so it put the usb stick in my grub config file
frib 2017-03-03 05:44:09
i copied that to the usb and booted it using grubx64.efi
EriC^^ 2017-03-03 05:44:10
frib: the usb won't be standalone bootable though
frib 2017-03-03 05:44:22
which i also copied from my main disk
EriC^^ 2017-03-03 05:44:33
sounds sketchy
frib 2017-03-03 05:44:37
but the desktop UI didn't show up
EriC^^ 2017-03-03 05:44:40
let's do it the "right way"
frib 2017-03-03 05:44:42
only background and folders etc
frib 2017-03-03 05:44:43
ok
