[00:02] metalbiker: do you mean gnome-tweak-tool? [00:03] ahh it's a wonderful day :D [00:04] glitsj16: yeah, that's what i meant. well, i know it got renamed to gnome tweaks now but i'm trying to get that tool installed. [00:04] does anyone know which config file starts syndaemon when ubuntu starts on laptops? [00:05] i've been testing the daily builds since last month and i haven't been able to get it installed since. [00:05] metalbiker: i think that package is in the 'universe' repo, you'll need to add that repo before apt sees it [00:06] glitsj16: oh ok. can you tell me how? well, i can search for it online if need be. [00:08] metalbiker: sudo add-apt-repository universe .. sudo apt update after adding it to refresh your sources [00:08] glitsj16: sweet! thanks! that's easy enough. thank you! [00:08] :\ [00:09] metalbiker: no trouble, wouldn't want to keep one from enabling/setting GNOME extensions heh [00:10] glitsj16: lol i can use it as is but man, i really do love the dash to dock extension. [00:10] metalbiker: same here, a FYI, you can use 'gnome-shell-extension-prefs' command too [00:12] although I'm not sure what's being changed in daily builds in regards to GNOME [00:13] glitsj16: ok, i'll try that out, too. i try to keep up with all of the changes and i just know that ubuntu gnome as a standalone flavor is not going to exist anymore but you may know that already. a number of changes are coming like a dock that's always visible which is cool and i think it's going to be customizable in a way. [00:16] metalbiker: I'm not exactly fully up to speed with what exactly is going to be introduced and in what version, but people in #ubuntu+1 might now (and the internets ofcourse) .. been using gnome-shell for a while now, so I look forward to what's going to happen in that regard [00:19] so I broke something ;( https://apaste.info/98nF [00:19] pumba: what is syndaemon? [00:20] glitsj16: ok, cool. i'll head over there and chat with those folks and see what they know. i do know that wayland is now the default display server and gnome is the default desktop now. it looks really cool with the ubuntu desktop stylings but with the gnome desktop. [00:21] metalbiker: enjoy :) [00:30] does anyone know which config file starts syndaemon when ubuntu starts on laptops? [00:33] donofrio_: Pastebin ' dpkg -l libappstream3 ' .

[02:18] Hello, I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 with Unity. To solve the problem with Chrome flickering, I did `sudo apt-get purge xserver-xorg-video-intel`, but since then sometimes after waking up sometimes the screen flickers, and also I can't set the brightness anymore, neither with the Brightness menu in Preferences, nor with the function keys. Does anyone know how I can fix this? [02:18] And you threw out the Intel video driver ... why. [02:19] It fixed the Chrome problem... [02:20] But now you're probably using fbdev or VESA... [02:20] in xorg.conf.d I have a file 10-amdgpu.conf [02:20] What you should do is disable hardware acceleration in Chrome and reinstall the Intel video driver. [02:20] (unless you don't have an Intel GPU) [02:21] I do have Intel. I tried the hardware acceleration before and I don't remember it working, but I'll try. [02:21] Do I just install the same thing I purged?

Sorry for bothering, I'd like to ask support for a bit of a problem that I have every time I boot the computer. [11:08] hi yadw1 - go on and state your problem; if someone in here knows how to help, they will chime in [11:10] Basically, 9 times out of 10 after selecting Ubuntu on the grub2 screen, I get a brief splash screen and then the monitor goes black (yet the backlight is still on) and it gets stuck. So the only thing I can do is to keep on trying until it eventually boots properly [11:10] Is there anything I can do? [11:13] hi guys [11:14] so I'm trying to install 16.04.3 LTS from USB (my PC does not have an optical drive), and I keep getting a black screen from the installer - I tried nomodeset, nolapic, noapic, acpi=off and nothing works - it gets a little further with nomodeset (the splash screen shows up) but after that the screen goes into standby and doesn't wake up again, this morning I even went and made breakfast and [11:14] came back about 15 minutes later and it was still unresponsive [11:15] I've tried two different thumb drives now, one of which is a brand new intenso USB 3 drive; it is possible that my ISO is dodgy which is what I'm about to check; are there any other ideas? [11:15] cbrowne, how did you do the stick ? and what's your video card ? [11:16] with rufus and GTX 1080 founders edition [11:16] hoi [11:17] cbrowne, for starter, we usually suggest to check the iso and the written image [11:19] md5 checks out on the iso [11:20] cbrowne: maybe this helps https://askubuntu.com/questions/795547/ubuntu-16-04-unable-to-boot-with-gtx-1080 [11:22] hmm, good idea - not 100% sure if it will work with my configuration but I can probably hack something similar together; I'll let you know how I get on [11:22] cbrowne, or use nouveau.modeset=0 (instead of nomodeset) [11:33] Sorry if I insist, but does anyone know how to solve my issue too? [11:37] hi [11:37] my root file system is unresponsive [11:40] !details | hroi [11:40] hroi: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you.

[11:48] rsync -a --include "*/' ---inclide '*.mp3' --exclude '*' /source /destination <-- are the parameters I set for rsync [11:49] never mind... I see the problem here.

[13:29] When I had a look, it seems to be part of the network-manager, I don't know that it would fit in the 50MB of the disk image [13:30] ubiquity has 300MB of dependencies, it's just using dialogs, which I thought was clever [13:31] Pyro_Killer: it isn't by any chance part of dpkg-reconfigure ? [13:31] 50 mb.. that only can contain the netboot iso.. mini iso is over 100mb [13:31] G'day all. What is the status of the Firefox 55 build?

[13:55] and he's wondering while all his other apps (firefox, IE, outlook) are lagging ☺ [13:55] anywayz, we're here to learn [13:55] MonkeyDust: they are gonna address that with similar approach to firefox - that is, suspending tabs more aggressively [14:04] Марк Шаттлворт [14:04] davaj davaj [14:55] Hi there.

[15:44] hroi: I'd suggest avoiding the whole question and just sticking w/ a reboot unless it is super inconvenient [15:44] nemo, OK, hmm didn'r realize perhaps it depends on the controller itself [15:44] hroi: controller, driver could both be failure points [15:44] hroi: just 'cause it is in the spec doesn't mean it is implemented in HW or driver [15:44] this is not as friendly as USB most of the time 😉 [15:45] hmm, the motherboard is a fairly recent intel server motherboard, [15:45] maybe 3 years old [15:45] but you are right, so maybe driver related [15:46] hroi: it's hard to say. newness doesn't necessarily enter into it [15:46] yeah, newness even makes things worse [15:46] hroi: my relatively new motherboard was quite happy to corrupt my 4TB HD "backing up" the BIOS to the middle of it since it didn't realise drives could be larger than 2TB [15:47] yeah. takes a while to shake things out [15:47] hroi: ended up having to use one of my precious SATA connectors to keep my old drive around as "primary" just so that it wouldn't write to me new one [15:47] *my [15:47] SATA controller: Intel Corporation C600/X79 series chipset 6-Port SATA AHCI Controller (rev 06) [15:48] Serial Attached SCSI controller: Intel Corporation C602 chipset 4-Port SATA Storage Control Unit (rev 06) [15:48] these two I have under lspci [15:49] most likely need to reboot [15:49] https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/white-papers/333596-hot-plug-capability-nvme-ssds-paper.pdf [15:49] hroi: says 3.10 kernel with additional 3.14 fixes [15:49] yay googling [15:49] lol... nobody says yay binging! [15:49] tsglove: it's become a verb [15:49] tsglove: it was technically binging since DDG but eh [15:50] DDGing doesn't roll off the tongue [15:50] nemo, I always use ddg for everything [15:50] Well, 99%. There's that 1% I try google [15:50] yep. not hard to switch [15:50] both using bang syntax or just selecting alternate in firefox [15:51] which one I do depends on laziness [15:51] nemo, true. Exactly! using ddg for everything, and "searching" instead of "googling" [15:51] ! syntax is more private [15:51] uhoh [15:51] I accidentally triggered the bot. dammit [15:51] I guess they don't expect chat to start w/ ! [15:51] lol which ? ! [15:51] yes [15:52] should have stuck w/ saying "bang" [15:52] !bang [15:52] nemo, I just read that hotswap doesnt work with the linux kernel unless AHCI is enabled in the BIOS [15:52] this might be the issue here. [15:52] 'k [15:54] another guy suggest that $ modprobe acpiphp is necessary [15:54] its not in my lsmod [15:54] kk [15:54] I've always just rebooted [15:54] usually had some kernel update pending anyway 😉 [16:00] ! [16:00] Thanks glitsj16, I'll give that a whirl as a work around. Is that what populates the available apps in the lists on the default apps settings dialog? [16:05] Gargoyle: yes, the system > details > default applications item in gnome-control-center does, you might need to point the .desktop file to a small shell script in your ~/bin if your snap package needs that (which I'm not sure about) [16:06] glitsj16, Nor me. But trying to work it out. [16:08] Gargoyle: you can query/set your defaults via xdg-mime, what do you have set currently for x-scheme-handler/mailto? [16:16] glitsj16, xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/mailto = thunderbird.desktop [16:18] I'm guessing hiri is not available because it's .desktop file doesn't make it into /usr/share/applications/ because it's a snap? [16:20] Gargoyle, i don't use snap, but can't you make one up ? [16:20] Gargoyle: probably yes, but nothing stops you from creating a custom .desktop file for it, reference the correct command to launch it in the 'Exec=...' line and set that as default mime handler [16:20] Gargoyle, http://www.bettertechtips.com/linux/install-hiri-linux/ there is a model [16:21] glitsj16, Yup. Will probably do that as a work around, but want to see if I can figure out why the snap isn't being made available and see if I can fix. [16:24] Gargoyle: odd that snap packages don't install that, or maybe it's only a problem with the hiri one, don't know [16:24] Gargoyle, so you don't have at all an hiri.desktop somewhere ? sudo updatedb && locate hiri.desktop [16:25] Well, I thought snaps were self contained, so is it more a program needs to be run to "reach into" all the snaps and pull this out? [16:26] How do I get the configured dns server from the command line? I'm 14.04.4, /etc/resolv.conf is pointing to 127.0.0.1, and "man resolvconf" does not show a option to list the current configured dns sserver. I have dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 in /etc/network/interfaces, and I rebooted, but I still cant resolve names (I can ping 8.8.8.8) [16:26] locate hiri.desktop = /snap/hiri/5/meta/gui/hiri.desktop /snap/hiri/5/snap/gui/hiri.desktop /var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/hiri_hiri.desktop [16:26] voldial, /etc/network/interfaces [16:27] ioria: https://bpaste.net/show/8998a4721521 [16:27] The one at /snap/hiri/5... is the one where it is running from (according to ps -aux) [16:30] ioria: that line "dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8" in /etc/network/interfaces should work right? [16:30] voldial, yep .... 255.255.254.0 is correct ? [16:30] Gargoyle: try copying that to your ~/.local/share/applications folder and it might get recognized, I don't think xdg-mime scans anything under /snap (yet) [16:30] ioria: yes [16:31] voldial, anything in /etc/net/interfaces.d ? [16:32] ioria: no (/etc/net/interfaces.d does not exist) [16:32] voldial, i meant in /etc/network/interfaces.d [16:33] ioria: empty dir [16:37] voldial, network-manager is installed or not ? [16:37] ioria: no [16:37] ioria: no nmcli available [16:40] voldial: dig +short lwn.net @8.8.8.8 [16:40] gabrielc: connection timed out... so I have a firewall problem sending UDP? [16:41] voldial, sudo ufw status [16:41] voldial: maybe [16:41] voldial, should be 53 [16:41] ioria: ufw status -> inactive [16:42] voldial, it's a fresh install ? [16:42] it's prob my gateway firewall... checking [16:42] voldial: dig +short lwn.net @127.0.0.1 or dig +short lwn.net @localdnsserveripaddress or dig +short lwn.net @dnsofyourisp [16:43] gabrielc: got it. my local gateway lets me resolv, I'll use that instead of 8.8.8.8 [16:43] Is it possible to share a folder and make it writable and make everything in that foler writable too? As an example, if I share my "downloads" folder and make it writable, only the "downloads" folder is writable. Not the other folders that is inside there. I want to make everything writable because I will map the "downloads" folder to another PC that runs windows 10 [16:43] ioria: thanks, working now [16:43] voldial, good === juboxi is now known as jubo2 [16:48] hello [16:50] gow can I see the users on this window ? [16:50] what client are you using? [16:51] Hi. I am trying to switch to a virtual console, however doig Ctl-Alt-F3 or F4 doesn't do anything apart from taking focus from the X server or Wayland. I am running Gnome if that matters. [16:51] urko: /names is the generic way tho [16:52] notnotdan: welll.... which one? X or wayland? [16:52] I mean both have the bindings but it impacts debugging quite a bit 😝 [16:53]
