[00:01] Does anyone know what is means when I get the error: The repository 'http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial Release' does not have a Release file. [00:03] Sleaker: yes, I meant my users. right now it shows drwxrwxrwx, is that full read/write for all users? [00:03] nicomachus: yes [00:03] but the files you're copying into that directory might not be getting those permissions [00:03] best check the files. [00:03] Ineedhelppls: what's your sources list? [00:04] oh. That's going to be a lot. in a lot of subdirectories. [00:04] nicomachus: are you actually haveing permission issues? [00:04] @Sleaker I've reset my sources list to the default settings, and still get the error [00:04] Ineedhelppls: please pastie/pastebin etc it and link here. [00:05] Sleaker: now that I look back at the error output, it seems to be a problem with reading .flac files and a few random extensions where it just has a warning that it's a text file. [00:05] Sleaker https://thepasteb.in/p/pghQ6J9RyGnUR [00:06] Sleaker: example: https://paste.ubuntu.com/25122109/ [00:06] nicomachus: maybe an issue with your program then? [00:07] Sleaker: yea I'll have to look into how mopidy handles .flac files [00:07] thanks anyway. [00:08] Ineedhelppls: which one of those is giving an error? [00:08] Sleaker oddly enough it seems like all of them [00:09] That said, I have no issue accessing the base URLs via browser, I just can [00:09] 't find a release file [00:10] Ineedhelppls: those all work for me just fine 1:1 [00:10] Sleaker it might be worth mentioning that I also get connection errors when running apt update [00:10] Connection failed [IP: 91.189.88.152 80], but when I ping the servers I get a response [00:11] .149 is the archive. [00:11] r there any hacking tools in ubuntu? [00:11] atleast for me. [00:11] I'm sure you meatn cracking.. [00:11] no [00:12] I have it failing to get: 91.189.91.26, 91.189.88.162, and 91.189.88.152 [00:12] maybe you have bad dns? [00:12] I'm not sure why. I've tried changing the servers being requested using software-properties-gtk [00:12] then what hacking tools you refering to.. [00:12] or there is an issue right now with canonical server. [00:12] Ineedhelppls: either way.. it works on this end. [00:12] sary, eg can i check if computer is online? [00:12] I've tried accessing the updates on several different days now [00:13] Ineedhelppls: seems likely that it's something with the system or your internet connection. [00:13] I did just move into a new apartment, and I might have changed DNS? That said, I shouldn't be able to access via ping if that is the case [00:13] I agree, but why would it work on ping and http request? [00:13] * Sleaker shrugs [00:14] kotek: ping -W 1 $ip , but that's not hackin' :) [00:15] Sleaker well I appreciate the help! [00:15] yah sorry :( [00:15] thanks for bein there for a guy [00:15] nah, I'm glad I got a second opinon [00:15] clearly somethin over here is real screwy [00:15] any idea what the best way is to try out different DNS servers? I'm using wicd-gtk, would that work? [00:16] I'm thinking of trying out google's DNS 8.8.8.8 [00:16] no clue. [00:20] Ineedhelppls: what nameservers are currently set? your ISP's? [00:20] glitsj16 yup [00:21] Ineedhelppls: try editing /etc/resolv.conf and set google's there instead [00:21] my resolv.conf says specifically not to edit by hand [00:22] that changes will be overwritten [00:22] not sure why... [00:22] because it will be overwritten [00:22] -_- [00:22] by what? [00:22] Ineedhelppls: for testing, you can set them up not to be overwritten if it works [00:22] Ineedhelppls: by the thing that managers the resolv.conf file [00:22] Ineedhelppls: also known as resolvconf [00:23] Ineedhelppls: are you using NM? [00:23] ok, once I've edited the file how do I make the changes take effect? [00:23] I'm using wicd [00:23] if you've edited the file, they are already in effect [00:23] oh, cool [00:23] I'll try now [00:23] i'm surprised that wicd doesn't have a way to set DNS servers [00:24] indeed [00:24] it does! but my changes don't seem to do anything.... [00:24] Ineedhelppls: well use the way wicd offers, have you tried that? [00:24] Ineedhelppls: I just read more backlog, that doesnt' appear to be a DNS issue [00:25] I did try that [00:25] I set them to google's dns [00:25] I also just tried using the changes to resolv.conf [00:25] no difference in my apt update behaviour [00:25] Ineedhelppls. "Connection failed [IP: 91.189.88.152 80], but when I ping the servers I get a response" isn't a DNS issue [00:25] any idea what's going on tgm4883? [00:25] that what I thought [00:26] I'm just desperate enough to give anything a try at this point [00:26] Ineedhelppls: this is when you're running 'apt-get update' ? [00:26] I haven't been able to install stuff [00:26] yea [00:26] Ineedhelppls: try a mirror [00:26] apt or apt-get [00:26] I've tried changing my mirror in software-properties-gtk [00:26] Ineedhelppls: what country? [00:26] tried some in other countries even [00:26] I did US and UK [00:26] according to the paste you showed that didn't work [00:26] no, where are you? [00:27] southern CA it seems [00:27] I'm in NY, actually [00:28] ah yea you are [00:28] :) [00:28] I just looked at the first couple octets and made a bad guess [00:28] hey, that's a pretty cool skill [00:28] ok, so in any case, you've tried us.archive.ubuntu.com? [00:28] yessir [00:28] that was what I started with [00:28] Ineedhelppls: not really. One of our datacenters has the same first few :) [00:30] try switching the server to mirror.es.its.nyu.edu/ Ineedhelppls [00:30] current DNS results: [00:30] https://thepasteb.in/p/1jhnW0nvNPOIB [00:30] Ineedhelppls: can you browse to http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty/ [00:31] tgm4883: yes I can [00:32] Ineedhelppls: interesting. Can you "wget http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial/Release" [00:32] tgm4883: yup! [00:32] works fine [00:32] so strange, I just don't understand what's happening here... [00:32] Ineedhelppls: another thing you can try is to move /var/lib/apt/list/* out of the way, the files in there should regenerate on 'sudo apt update' [00:32] Ineedhelppls: ^ that's a good idea [00:33] because all of my apt update requests fail, the folder remains empty after I've moved the stuff [00:34] better put them back in that case, very odd indeed [00:35] Ineedhelppls: wait, every single one fails? Can you pastebin the full output of an 'sudo apt update' [00:35] tgm4883: https://thepasteb.in/p/WnhzoQz2AWMiV [00:36] maybe it's not every single one? [00:36] I've also tried performing my updates in the unsafe mode to no avail [00:36] Ineedhelppls: are you behind a proxy? [00:37] tgm4883: not that I'm aware of... [00:37] 'apt policy apt' shows expected package version, no PPA's in play etc? [00:38] @glitsj16: not sure what this means... https://thepasteb.in/p/76hE70EwAkVUV [00:39] Ineedhelppls: it shows what apt knows in regards to available packages [00:39] but i can't find 1.2.19 in the official repos [00:40] Ineedhelppls: : i missed what ubuntu version you're on.. 17.04? [00:41] glitsj16: 16.04 [00:41] you might need to see your /etc/apt/sources.list [00:42] 1.2.9 would be from -updates [00:42] 1.2.19 would be from -updates [00:42] Ineedhelppls: xenial has 1.2.20 currently, but if you couldn't update for a while that might not be the actual problem either [00:43] also , is IPv6 enabled , disable it and try to update again .. [00:43] it's not ipv6 [00:43] Sleaker: if you're still around, it looks like there are some assorted files in the Music/ directory that are just -rwxr----- [00:43] and those are the ones that mopidy can't read. [00:43] tgm4883: Ineedhelppls :: " sysop@x1604:~$ apt policy apt >> Installed: 1.2.20 : . [00:44] well it shouldn't be anyway, considering apt isn't trying to connect on ipv6 and he's able to ping the ipv4 [00:44] nicomachus: chmod 777 them or chmod +r them your choice. [00:44] can I not do the whole directory recursively? [00:44] 'man chmod' if you need more info on that. [00:44] you can [00:45] Ineedhelppls: can you go to http://whatismyipaddress.com/proxy-check and see if it detects a proxy [00:45] * tgm4883 is running out of ideas === Sekreta1 is now known as Sekreta [00:45] tgm4883: no proxy detected [00:47] tgm4883: alright, had an idea. Booting up an old machine I had lying around, and I'm going to see if I can connect and run apt update over there [00:48] or a 16.04 live cd/usb [00:52] tgm4883 & glitsj16: for the first time, I've gained some insight into the problem!!!! It appears that I get the same errors in retreiving the release files from us.archive on this machine as well... [00:52] I suppose this points to a broader connectivity issue on my ISP [00:53] looks like it yes [00:53] nice find :) [00:53] but that still doesn't answer the question of why I was able to wget the file just fine?? [00:53] port blocking issue on the ISP's end? [00:53] It's on port 80... [00:54] Ctrl + 5 doesn't work inside my game, I'm using Unity - how do I debug this issue? I really don't want to install LXDE or something just to test it... [00:55] a sample of my wget Release file: https://thepasteb.in/p/RghnZpnpREDCz [00:55] looks as it should? [00:56] does apt have a different mechanism for fetching this file as compared to wget? My impression is that they should be exactly the same... [00:56] this issue is driving me crazy X_X [01:03] looks quite regular, but i'm not exactly used to looking at these kind of files.. afaik apt uses connection methods filed in /usr/lib/apt/methods [01:04] Ineedhelppls: could in theory be the ISP blocking it, but I'm doubtful [01:04] but then wget shouldn't work tgm4883? [01:04] I think [01:04] Ineedhelppls: could be a layer 7 firewall [01:04] In software-properties-gtk it indicates I'm using http to fetch [01:04] Ineedhelppls: but in the US, I'm doubtful that is what is happening [01:05] Ineedhelppls: it's trivial to block apt yet allow http downloads [01:06] tgm4883: so does apt not use purely http? [01:06] Ineedhelppls: it does, but inspecting the traffic you can tell what it is [01:06] hmm [01:06] I'd like to think big brother isn't watching that closely haha [01:07] Ineedhelppls: I'd like to think so too [01:07] but it makes me wonder if https://ubuntu.osuosl.org/ubuntu/ would work for you [01:07] I also don't know why they'd block apt, it's quite innocuous [01:08] Ineedhelppls: well it could be as simple as "allow http, block all" [01:09] tgm4883: hooooollllllyy shiiiiit [01:09] you are a god [01:09] it works!!!! [01:10] Ineedhelppls: hmm, so me thinks something's inspecting your traffic [01:10] I cannot believe how I've spent trying to fix this problem... but you got it, https seems to have done the trick [01:10] *how long [01:11] does that mean they're watching my porn? :P [01:11] first and foremost [01:11] I only get a keyup event, not a keydown event when I hit Cltr+5, how do I fix it? [01:11] Ineedhelppls: probably not. Could be traffic shaping, some sort of proxy/cacheing, something misconfigured [01:11] my keyboard doesn't actually send Ctrl+5 wtf [01:12] tgm4883 & glitsj16: thanks so much for your help, it is deeply appreciated. It's folk like y'all that make the ubuntu community amazing [01:13] Ineedhelppls: that steam, and this insufferabally slow download ;) [01:13] thank steam* [01:14] tgm4883: hahaha, what game? Thank you based steam [01:14] is it possible to download new usb keyboard drivers [01:14] dying light [01:14] Ineedhelppls: kind words, and yet something in the back of my head seems to yell 'change ISP' :p [01:14] tgm4883: good stuff, well I hope you enjoy it :) [01:14] Ineedhelppls: I will, in somewhere between 6 minutes and more than 1 year from now [01:15] glitsj16: I wish, I'm locked in by my ap [01:15] *apt [01:15] Recently, whenever i try to apt-get install something, the connection to au.archive.ubuntu.com stays at 0% for like 5 minutes before the install actually starts, anyone happen to know what might be the issue? [01:15] Ineedhelppls: apartment? Do they provide the internet? [01:15] what a strange situation.. is that legal? [01:16] tgm4883: yes indeed, and I'm paying so little in rent... I don't actually pay for my utilities [01:16] It's a bundle deal [01:16] Ineedhelppls: I'd 99% guarentee that they are proxying that then [01:17] tgm4883: what makes you say that? If the proxy test came back negative [01:18] rolandbeowulf: run $ apt clean , $ apt check $ aptitude update [01:19] rolandbeowulf: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors has more info on mirror status, you might want to try a few others [01:20] well, now to install the 200+ updates I have backlogged... [01:20] :) enjoy [01:22] Ineedhelppls: because they would most likely be doing something to "protect" their network [01:22] and because of the issues you've been dealing with [01:29] hi im trying to apt install clang:i386 but it tells me "depends on (x)...which will not be installed" .. why will (x) not be installed? when i try to install (x) it tells me "depends on (other stuff)... that will not be installed"? [01:30] That ^ is wjy i prefer nix over apt.. [01:31] nix? is that a program or code for "do it yourself, by hand" ? [01:32] hi there [01:32] hi [01:32] Nix is a Purely Functional Package Manager. [01:33] you may want to consult man apt .. as to why! [01:36] Ubuntu just upgraded it's kernel to 4.10.0-28 but didn't install any of it's kernel modules :( [01:36] what's the accepted solution for when this happens? [01:37] kernel boots but no hardware works now as modules missing :( [01:38] shiznix: you need the linux-image-extra [01:38] have tried...# apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-generic linux-image-4.10.0-28-generic linux-image-extra-4.10.0-28-generic [01:38] which re-installs it as it should [01:38] awaa [01:39] during the re-install it says "Error! Could not locate dkms.conf file" [01:39] but goes ahead with the install anyway [01:40] does the /lib/modules exist though .. [01:41] hmm...yes it does [01:41] maybe it will work now [01:42] shiznix: what does $ dkms status returns! [01:43] arktvrvs: those kind of errors are frequently caused by PPA's or broken sources.list.. you can check with 'apt policy to see what versions of clang are available/installed currently .. although i'm not sure if that command supports the multilib stuff [01:56] sary: Error! Could not locate dkms.conf file. [01:56] File: does not exist. [01:57] it's only half messed now [01:58] on a reboot many kernel modules are loaded now, but i need to manually modprobe the kernel's wifi driver [01:58] not sure yet what other kernel modules it's missed :( [02:05] shiznix: Begs the question, is dkms installed ? ' dpkg -l dkms ' . [02:05] it is, but will try re-installing dkms related packages [02:05] Perhaps you don't have any *-dkms package installed (and dkms does not [02:07] from kernel module source, usually a package called foo-dkms and installing to /usr/src/foo-VERSION . see ls /var/lib/dkms -R [02:15] sary: checking it... [02:26] hai #ubuntu <3 [02:33] So... I'm back. [02:33] And I have a new problem. [02:34] My computer has been freezing randomly. [02:34] Completely locks up, no keyboard input or mouse or anything [02:34] I have to force-shutdown [02:35] And it probably isn't performance related [02:35] GreenDimond: What release and is a nvidia graphic's card a factor ? [02:35] because I can run Blender, YouTube, and another graphic-intense videogame without trouble, but it sometimes locks up randomly with only a few applications. [02:35] I have Xubuntu 16.04 [02:36] And yes, I have an Nvidia graphics card, but no idea if that is whats causing it [02:36] This has been happening ever since I put this PC together [02:37] GreenDimond: I too had the freezing in xubuntu 16.04 . Since installing the proprietary driver have had no further issues . [02:39] Bashing-om: Proprietary driver for my graphics card? [02:40] Or for something else? [02:41] GreenDimond: Affirmed . We spent 6 months looking for the cause of the freezes - nothing ever in the logs or any hints anwwhere of a failure . Just because I had nothing else to try installed the nvidia proprietary driver for my card . Solved ! [02:41] :( [02:41] Bashing-om, remember a few months ago when I had trouble with my graphics card resolution? [02:42] gtt: I got real short attention span . So sorry .. out of my ram :) [02:43] I had switched from neuvavu to the Nvidia proprietary and the res got messed up, but then you helped me fix it. So it is using a proprietary driver already.. [02:44] so obviously using the proprietary didnt fix the freeze problem :/ [02:48] has anyone tried artful yet? [02:53] GreenDimond: Ouch ! .. Then all I can suggest is start reading the logs looking for errors . and in a new terminal on the most active window run ' tail -f /var/log/syslog ' see if ya can capture an event in real time . Maybe 'top' will give some hints ? [02:54] Alright [02:54] thanks anyway :) [02:54] what Bashing-om said , also #see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Freeze GreenDimond [02:55] alrighty [02:55] ty [02:58] tsarompy: i've tried it.. not impressed! can't wait for 18.04 . [03:22] sary: excellent, thanks for your help :) [03:22] why not impressed sary [03:22] whats wrong with it [03:23] manually deleting everything in 'ls /var/lib/dkms -R' and re-installing the relevant packages that provided those files has dkms working again [03:24] this is the first time i've had a problem with Ubuntu's kernel installation [03:25] but it's also the first time i'd clicked 'OK' to install updates in the gui-fied 'Software Updater' [03:25] might just be some crazy coincidence but i won't risk doing that again [03:26] <[n0mad]> my gui updater never pops up since i installed 16.04 on 2 different systems [03:28] [n0mad]: inattended-upgrades in effect : /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades .

Or does anyone know anything about what's up with the "Furry Remixes"? [03:51] <[n0mad]> whoa...yeah...seems much easier to just manually update lol [03:51] I'm mostly just curious about whether it's just like wallpapers and stuff or if it's actually a different OS [03:54] <[n0mad]> BlitzerHound: you could /msg alis list *searchterm* . i can't speak too much to furry remix but it appears it was discontinued some time ago [03:55] Oh. So then it wouldn't be smart to switch to something discontinued right? [03:56] <[n0mad]> based on what i read it was just ubuntu with wallpapers/theming added [03:57] how do i enable hot corners in unity to show the desktop [03:58] <[n0mad]> i wouldn't want something discontinued. i'd want something that i know i'm getting security updates on and that has a user base for support [04:23] shiznix: np, you've fixed it :).. i've only point you to it. [04:33] whats the keyboard shortcut to bring up the search from the desktop in ubunutu? [04:37] k-man, hold 'winkey' to see all shortcuts [04:38] nothing happens. this is on a new dell laptop that cape pre-installed with ubuntu [04:39] it should work on the standard ubuntu+unity [04:42] hi can any one help me with a problem with bluetooth [04:42] I am unable to know if its a hardware problem or software problem [04:43] When I click on a link in thunderbird, firefox moves from one desktop to where thunderbird is. How do I prevent this? [05:02] My linux setup is booting from grub, directly and instantly to a black screen, no disk activity of booting... *UNLESS* I have the kernel args "quiet" AND "splash" [05:02] adding those args causes the disk to get activity during the boot process, causes the boot to actually happen [05:02] anyone ever hear of anything this wacky? [05:03] do you need to change it for any reason? [05:04] I'd like to not have the splash screen, and instead watch the normal boot messages scroll by [05:05] but I've no idea why *not* having "quiet" and "splash" would halt the boot process before said messages even occur [05:06] Hoffman: what's the last message you see? [05:06] akik: there's literally none [05:06] no text flashing across the screen, just straight from the grub menu to black [05:07] well you can check the systemd init to see what it says [05:07] it never picks anything up, I guess the failure happens before that [05:07] Hoffman: try also setting GRUB_TERMINAL=console [05:07] wait, maybe Im looking at the wrong log [05:07] how would I check systemd init [05:08] oh, also I tried adding debug lines into the grub boot, the last line output is before initrd is loaded, then the screen clears [05:08] thats when hdd activity stops [05:09] i meant systemd boot [05:09] not init thats gone lol [05:10] rpifan: how do I check that [05:12] Hoffman: also you could try to boot with adding "nomodeset" to the kernel options [05:12] take a look at journalctl [05:12] does anyone know if adaptec PCI-X raid is native? where can i check that, (16.04) [05:13] akik: nomodeset does nothin' unless the other two options are set [05:13] rpifan: for sure journalctl never picks anything up [05:13] the boot halts before that [05:13] brb gonna try that GRUB_TERMINAL=console arg [05:16] wondering what chances i have that i dont struggle with my 16tb raid [05:23] I've got a bunch of folders, how do I find out the exact size in MiB so I can create a partition of that exact size? [05:23] I tried du --block-size=MiB but it still says it's too small [05:28] got it, size should be 1024KiB [05:30] ls -alh or du -h [05:30] df -h for partitions [05:40] Ubuntu budgie applets have a .plugin file. Where can I find the documentation for what attributes one can set in that file? I'm trying to set the attribute Icon to a none defualt (symbolic) icon. [05:41] Also is it easy to add a custom icon to the symbolic icons list ? ( In Raven) [05:42] What I mean by a symbolic icon settings is something similar to this "Icon=view-grid-symbolic". I did "Icon=/absolute/path/myicon.png" and it didn't work (Duh!) [05:51] CyberTex: if it can help, there's a small #ubuntu-budgie channel aswell [05:52] lotuspsychje: Thank you.

I'm not a network admistrator , just another developer. Can somebody walk me through reporting the bug in a meanginful way. The bug is prevent us from connnecting to the wifi network, I say it's a bug because only Ubuntu 16+ users are affected. MAC,Windows,iOS and Android users can connect. Notably older Ubuntu versions can connect ( Ubuntu 14 i [06:47] CyberTex: you on latest 16.04.2? [06:48] me too lotuspsychje [06:48] lotuspsychje: 17.04 [06:49] I have another collegue using 16 and he's experincing the same issue [06:50] which brand of wifi adapter of laptop or PC, CyberTex [06:50] CyberTex: need details about the issue [06:50] CyberTex: we need more details to get that solved [06:51] Sure Shoot me the commands and I'll excute them and post all the info you need [06:52] CyberTex: sudo lshw -C network would be a good start [06:54] lotuspsychje: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25123881/ === jackNemrod_ is now known as jackNemrod [06:59] hi, I'm running ubuntu 16.04 and I have dns problems. Does ubuntu cache any dns queries? [07:01] with `nmcli dev show` I can see that the (only) dns server in use is my router (which I control) but nslookup for app.tempo.io gives me different results than the router it self gives when running nslookup through it's admin UI (ubuntu is the one giving the wrong results) === jackNemrod_ is now known as jackNemrod === jstein_ is now known as jstein [07:28] when I use this website: http://unixpapa.com/js/testkey.html and I press Ctrl+5 I don't have a key down event when I hit 5 [07:28] it also doesn't work in Starcraft [07:31] hi [07:33] having a issue here with the iscsi target on ubuntu server 17.04.... i had a ZFS zvol when i was running freebsd before, and the zvol was exported with freebsd's built-in iscsi target. now that the ZFS pool is imported onto my ubuntu box, and i try and use the iscsi target to export the same zvol, on the initiator side it shows up at twice the size and corrupted [07:33] it's a 1TB zvol, on the initiator it shows up as exactly 2TB [07:33] and the filesystem that was on it (NTFS) is unreadable [07:33] cathode: perhaps the #ubuntu-server guys might be more use for you [07:34] cathode: also for ubuntu server its recommended to choose LTS if its production [07:35] it's a home lab, i'm not concerned [07:35] i came here cause i assumed at midnight there might not be much activity in #ubuntu-server [07:36] anyway i guess what i'm trying to figure out is why is a block device getting exported differently between two different target daemons? === jackNemrod_ is now known as jackNemrod [07:49] CyberTex: is your network manager problem solved... which desktop manager do you use ? [07:50] Is there any decent way to install zsh 5.3 on Ubuntu 14.04 or is that impossible? [07:52] fishcooker: No, It's Ben64 like that for the last three months :( . (Missing with ya Ben64 ) [07:54] I have talked about it here a lot. This time I'm trying not to induce any conlusion. Leaving it to the peeps right here [07:55] fishcooker: I'm not trying to solve it this time. If I could report it, that would be great. [07:56] noted CyberTex [07:59] Question [08:00] If I can't configure per-screensaver options from within the Cinnamon scrensaver prompt [08:00] Then is there a way that I can configure the settings from outside the prompt? [08:01] i.e.: editing a text file of some description === starbux is now known as Trioxin [08:05] fishcooker: I did a lot a research about it. I have a conclusion but I could be wrong. Again , won't share it to keep this investigation goin in its path. If they came to the same conclusion we could get the attention of Jeremy Bicha or some other big dude in community [08:10] fishcooker: I already tried reporting it to our network department. Their incompetent team told they'll contact "CISCO" bout it. Been a while , no reply. Figures , Windows addicts don't care about Ubuntu. Their head stopped responding to my emails ( 4th email , I hate nagging).

In 16.10 I could create a wifi hotspot using network manager just fine. Same hardware, one Ubuntu release later, I no longer can. I create the hotspot and..... nothing. Doesn't do anything. And nothing in the logs. [08:21] blackflow permissions maybe? [08:26] fishcooker: I have a meeting right now. Will disconnect (No wifi). Maybe I can resume with y'all later. [08:28] m4dh4tt4: no, and sorry about nothing in the logs. journald is idiotic. you have to be explicit about -p err. dnsmasq was missing so I installed it but now it complains about failure to create sockets, address already in use === jackNemrod_ is now known as jackNemrod [08:29] but the subnet is something dnsmasq creates, so I have no clue what now [08:36] does your hotspot show up (can it be seen by client)? if so can it connect? [08:36] you might just be having a dns issue [08:36] if client connects, try a ping 8.8.8.8 and a nslookup google.com === jackNemrod_ is now known as jackNemrod [08:42] ayrus: Can you show the output of blkid and df -h? [08:58] anyone know where I can get the ubuntu drivers for the Dell XPS 13 9360? [08:58] we have one with Windows 10 preinstalled... they provide a developer edition version, but they won't give us it [08:58] installing vanilla ubuntu... the backlight controls or FN keys don't work :( [09:02] vlt: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25124273/ I have to increase the root volume size. I don't know which disk should I increase. got confused. xdfh1 is 40 GB xvda1 is also 40GB, but if xvda1 is the root then xvda is 80Gb,and xvda is having no other partition. so in this case i can resize the xvda1 to 80 gb [09:06] vlt: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25124292/ is having output of mount and cat /etc/fstab as well, fstab is not having entry of mount point. === _nyloc_ is now known as nyloc [09:17] hi [09:17] i'm creating a custom iso starting from the official iso [09:18] i ran apt update && upgrade while chrooting [09:18] but the new iso doesn't boot [09:20] initramfs tells me that there aren't squashfs bootable [09:22] "unable to find a medium containing a live file system" [09:33]
