lotuspsychjeNetham45: did you manually installed something or compile?08:10

PeanutHi, on Ubuntu 17.04, is there a way to remove the bluetooth indicator, given that my machine does not have bluetooth?10:08
EriC^^Peanut: settings > bluetooth > at the bottom show in menu bar10:10
PeanutEriC^^: Thanks, I completely overlooked that because every other option in there is greyed out ("No Bluetooth adapters found").10:12
EriC^^Peanut: no problem10:12
PeanutEriC^^: Just relogged, works great. Is there also a way to make it not start all the bluetooth related programs (bluetoothd, indicator-bluetooth-service, blueman-applet) ?10:14
PeanutWud.. withoud doing it, the bluetooth indicator came back *lol*10:15
PeanutThe setting is still 'off'.10:16
EriC^^Peanut: maybe you can mask the services or uncheck them from "startup applications" in the dash10:18
EriC^^!masking10:18
EriC^^Peanut: in the bottom is the show in menubar checked?10:18

duziI am reading the book "Linux, The Complete Reference". In this book, I read that the OS first loads the program in memory and then its intructions are executed. I was just curious to know what's the way to check that the program is loaded in memory in Ubuntu?10:31
duziI'm using xenial10:31
duziand I'm just a newbie :P10:31
hateballduzi: ps10:32
duzihateball: I ran "man ps" and it says ps displays information about the selection of active processes. What does this mean?10:35
mrottenkolberHi, so I have a (systemd) user unit, and it restarted this morning at 4 am, I want to know why it exited (status), and see its journal from before it restarted.10:35
hateballduzi: a process is a program that is loaded10:36
hateballduzi: "ps ux" to show what your user is running10:36
mrottenkolberI am starting to get the feeling that systemd wiped all traces of the previous run, so how do I persist these things in the future?10:36
hateballduzi: not really sure what you're after, perhaps #linux can answer better10:37
duziduzi: That I know, but what is this "selection of active processes". Does it select or what? I can't understand.10:37
hateballduzi: selects based on the options passed to it, "ux" being one, or perhaps "aux" to show all users10:38
duzioops I tagged myself :P10:38
MonkeyDustduzi  as hateball says: better ask in ##linux10:39

leeyaadefault ubuntu 16.04 LTS11:20
leeyaai hate systemd11:21
leeyaaoh thats some udev nonsense11:22
brainwashit's not nonsense11:22
leeyaabrainwash: so why different names considering it is same device11:23
brainwashhttps://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames/11:23
leeyaathats one card11:23
nils_odd names indeed11:23
akikleeyaa: you can set it back as it was before with net.ifnames=011:23
nils_or you can define names you like in interfaces(5)11:23
akikleeyaa: add that kernel parameter11:23
leeyaaakik: i know but my other nodes use names such as enp1s0 etc11:23
leeyaaso i want to match it11:23
nils_same hardware?11:24
akikthe names that come with usb adapters are comical11:24
nils_akik, lol yeah11:24
leeyaanils_: yeah e1000e11:24
leeyaathats why i find it weird11:24
nils_leeyaa, talking about the mainboard11:24
leeyaanils_: no, mb is different11:25
leeyaabut network card is the same11:25
nils_yeah the kernel will get the names from EFI or BIOS or something so this isn't really as reliable as one would like.11:25
leeyaanils_: yes, not exactly predictable11:25
leeyaais it possible to name it from en1 to enp1s0 ?11:26
leeyaaah, whatever, ill just disable this crap11:27
leeyaaand go with eth0 and eth111:27
leeyaatoo bad i have to change a few other nodes as well11:29
GargoyleIndeed. Do not embrace the change, get the pitchforks out instead!11:29
nils_I think you can map it in interfaces based on mac address11:29
GargoyleI suppose the real question is, why do you care?11:29
leeyaaGargoyle: consistency and ease of management11:29
Gargoylewhat are you doing to the interface by it's name?11:30
leeyaai dont like having 5 servers with enwhatever and 10 servers with eth111:30
nils_Gargoyle, well having one port on the card named en01 and the other one named enp2s0 isn't particularly intuitive11:30
leeyaai have scripts and stuff that run across the board11:30
leeyaaand yes, also having enp2s0 with eno1 is just bad11:31
akikleeyaa: you can rename them with udev rules11:31
GargoyleWell, surly the best option would be to give them logical names and make your script even more cross platform / robust?11:31
nils_compared to things like /dev/disk/by-id/ata-SAMSUNG[..] or something like that.11:31
leeyaaakik: i might just disable it until it really is predictable11:31
nils_Gargoyle, yes11:31
nils_use mapping in interfaces in conjunction with get-mac-address.sh or something. I think I had that with one of those dongles but that particular piece of hardware was stolen some time ago :/11:34
leeyaanils_: will do once i have the time to invest in doing it. right now i just wanted to make it consistent and provision a few servers11:36
nils_caveat emptor, here be dragons etc...11:37
nils_there is a good reason for this renaming business, back in the day sometimes the interfaces got assigned in different order11:38
leeyaa;p11:38
nils_I've seen things that would make grown linux sysadmins tremble in fear!11:38
leeyaawell for ~5 years ive never seen some of my interface to get wrong name assigned. granted i use just ubuntu and centos11:47

Linkandzeldawould anyone be able to help me? ive got a server running ubuntu 16.04, and suddenly it cant resolve any domains. everything was working until about 4am today. im able to ping ip addresses but pinging domains or doing nslookups simply fails. ive tried restarting it, does not fix the issue. any ideas?12:02
nils_Linkandzelda, can you resolve using alternative nameservers? e.g.: host ubuntu.com 8.8.8.812:06
Linkandzeldanils_: no, and i tried that too12:06
nils_Linkandzelda, any changes to netfilter / iptables?12:07
Linkandzeldamy dns is set to use 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, and im able to ping those ips12:07
Linkandzeldano edits on the system12:07
nils_Linkandzelda, perhaps a firewall in between? My next approach would be to try and see with tcpdump what happens with the DNS packets12:07
Linkandzeldanils_: would you have an idea of how to check that?12:09
nils_Linkandzelda, and just to verify, this doesn't resolve either: host ubuntu.com 208.78.70.2712:09
Linkandzeldanils_: no, and i should mention it just sits there12:10
nils_Linkandzelda, sadly I tend to get the syntax wrong when it comes to tcpdump filters, but it should be a quick google away.12:10
Linkandzelda";; connection timed out; no servers could be reached"12:11

rory: > filename.txt ; echo "Line `\nLine 2\nLine 3\netc" > filename.txt12:22
zetherooI find a lot of examples of sed being used to find a string and replace it ... but not for what I want to do12:22
roryactually you dont even need to do the first one12:22
roryjust echo "Line `\nLine 2\nLine 3\netc" > filename.txt12:22
zetheroohmm ok12:23
roryzetheroo: if you do "echo something > filename.txt" it will replace the contents of filename.txt with the output of the echo command12:23
roryzetheroo: later you can append more things to it using >> instead of >12:23
zetheroowell I just wasn't sure how to add the text on seperate lines12:23
rorylogithack: see here https://askubuntu.com/a/416301/6296912:24
logithackzetheroo: you could also write a little python script.12:24
rorymassive overkill since we already have bash...12:24
roryzetheroo: either use separate echo commands, like this: echo line 1 > filename.txt; echo line 2 >> filename.txt; echo line 3 >> filename.txt12:24

harrydgwiiii.... OK, lets go: If i run "dns intensive" tasks, like apt-get update, i have a 1 in 2 chance that my systemd-resolved goes bananas and takes up 100% (of 1 core) CPU13:14
harrydgalso on network it starts generating ENORMOUS amounts of traffic13:14

MonkeyDustharrydg  it's good sign, to know that google *doesnt* know everything13:24
harrydgMonkeyDust: so very true :). Anyway, i DO have 127.0.0.1 as global dns server in my config (Not for wlan0 though). that probably causes the loop and the obvious issues lateron13:32
harrydgthe question now being: as i use dnsmasq, it's normal that i have this as resolver imho. dnsmasq should resolve, and send it to the "external" dns servers. Not/never back to resolved13:33
wasp_Moinsen13:34
harrydgOK, got it... clearly it's related to the dnsmasq that adds itself as global resolver. I stopped dnsmasq and all is OK. WHat was stated in the post, that dnsmasq adds 127.0.0.1 in the "tail", it does it now, through a script that's run at startup of dnsmasq13:41

oerhekssupercom32, no, even HWE is @ 4.1014:48
oerheksnext 17.10 will have 4.12/4.13 with updates, if i read it right14:48
ioriasupercom32, maybe if you tell why you need it, you might help14:48

supercom32The reason I ask is because I'm getting these strange "hang on idle" states with a Ryzen CPU. So I assume maybe a newer kernel might resolve Ryzen issues.14:49

FoxLoveOoooook. No answer still. Another question: I'm connected to a server via SSH and RDP (xrdp+mate) at the same time. But, while SSH is command line heaven, terminal in mate doesn't help much with autocompletion. Plus it gives me an error, then I try to bash -x smth.16:07

brainwashdonofrio: that's a question for the firefox people over on irc.mozilla.org16:50
=== KindTwo is now known as KindOne
FoxLovepavlos, thing is, autocompletion works /partially/. It works for one thing but doesn't for the other. "Sud apti" autocomples in SSH, but only "sud" part autocopletes in mate. "ser pos stat" perfectly autocompletes in SSH, but mate terminal doesn't autocomplete it at all.16:56
pavlosFoxLove: I thought autocomplete (AC) works per word, sud becomes sudo but sud apt does not AC for me. I have to AC sud and then tabtab for apti to become aptitude.16:59
oerheksFoxLove, i think that is by design, ssh without autocomplete16:59
demahumWhat is the best place to ask question about secure boot?17:00
EriC^^demahum: here's ok, what's your question?17:01
FoxLoveoerheks, it's the other way around. ssh WITH autocomplete.17:01
FoxLovepavlos, yes, it works per word. I meant that I can tab to complete almost anything17:02
FoxLovepavlos, ser - tab - pos - tab - stat - tab - enter17:02
oerheksFoxLove, oh, commands do, but files on the host not?17:02
demahumEriC^^: My intention is to understand how "secure" it is. I know it prevents my hardware booting not signed boot loaders, but I am looking for understanding real cases. 1. Secure boot does not protect me at all from malware on OS level. I.e. if malicious software asks for root access, it will get it and can do anything it wants, secure boot has nothing to do with it, right'17:04
demahumright?*17:04
FoxLoveoerheks, 'tabbing' through paths works. At least, it works with nano. Like nano /etc/xrdp/startwm.sh Havan't tried anything else, though17:04
pavlosFoxLove: the example you gave does not work for me, ser tab becomes serv, another tab shows servertool service17:05
EriC^^demahum: right17:06
EriC^^demahum: on the os level stuff it won't help with malicious code execution and stuff like that17:06
demahumYeah, it only prevents booting.17:07
demahumEriC^^: Thanks.17:07
EriC^^demahum: sure17:07
demahumI'll research a bit more and then ask if there is something moire. :)17:07
demahummore*17:07
EriC^^alright :)17:07
tomreyndemahum: more precisely it's not the hardware that loads the boot loader, it's the uefi firmware, which is software, which can be (and often is) buggy.17:07
demahumtomreyn: Thanks. :)17:07
FoxLovepavlos, ser turns into service for me. Thing is, in mate se, ser, serv, seriv or eveb servic won't turn into service.17:08
FoxLovepavlos, plus, terminal shows you commands which could work. Like "apt -> tab" will offer you a number of various commands17:09

oerheksubuntu tend to remove old firefox versions, which is good19:47
brainwashso, you haven't tested with 55.0.2 yet?19:47
brainwashI told you to do so19:48
donofrioI did but from mozilla.org19:48
brainwashsame error?19:48
oerheksuh uh ..19:48
oerhekswhy not use the official packages? ( don't answer that )19:49
nicomachusdonofrio: why do you want an older version?19:50
donofrionow it says "[Parent 2821] WARNING: pipe error: Invalid argument: file /build/firefox-Zj9gRO/firefox-55.0.2+build1/ipc/chromium/src/chrome/common/ipc_channel_posix.cc, line 709"19:51
donofrionicomachus, cause it worked and this one is not ;(19:52
brainwashdonofrio: did you try in Safe Mode already?19:52
donofrioI'll try....19:52
nicomachusdonofrio: maybe I missed it, but why is this one not working?19:53
brainwashnicomachus: due to a bug19:54
donofrionicomachus, cause this one doesn't render webpages, says it needs something from chromium when it's not ever been installed on this system, it says "[Parent 2821] WARNING: pipe error: Invalid argument: file /build/firefox-Zj9gRO/firefox-55.0.2+build1/ipc/chromium/src/chrome/common/ipc_channel_posix.cc, line 709"19:54
brainwashafter testing in Safe Mode, try with disabled e10s19:55
donofriobrainwash, how to do safe mode again?19:56
kostkondonofrio, firefox -safe-mode19:56
brainwashbut really, that's what the firefox people over on their own IRC network should have told you19:57
donofriobrainwash, I tried safe mode no rendering and same error19:58
kostkondonofrio, hardware specs?20:00
brainwashnot sure how to further assist you with this problem. best to actually file a bug report20:00
monk12hey all, i have a virtualbox Ubuntu VM where i had to delete and move the swap partition to give extra space to my / and /boot and /home partitions. But alas now my VM doesn't start... thought this was more an Ubuntu question than VirtualBox... I'd like to figure out what i need to update to get it working again. grub? fstab?20:00
monk12i get a "kernel panic-not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown block20:00
donofriobrainwash, how do I install 54 version?20:00
oerheksmonk12, yeah, you need to reinstal grub with the correct values of blkid20:01
brainwashdonofrio: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/54.0.1/20:01
brainwashit could be that the deb package of firefox 54 is still in your local package cache20:02
monk12I believe I ran blkid, got the UUID from its output, and updated the linux swap partition's in the fstab file then ran 'sudo update-grub'20:02
oerheksmonk12, that should work then.. i never changed partitions in a vm, i just make a new one20:03
brainwashdonofrio: in /var/cache/apt/archives20:03
monk12oerheks: hmmm so do i have any other options (that i can try in grub when i boot by clicking 'c' or boot up with a tool on an image/iso)20:04
oerheksone better clean out ~/,mozilla and ~/cache, and reinstall ff 55.02 than getting an old ff 5420:04
brainwashoerheks: donofrio tested with safe mode already20:05
brainwashcleaning directories won't help much20:05
brainwashfiling a bug report will20:05
oerheksgetting ff 55.02 from mozilla is surely not the way too..20:06
donofriooerheks, that is what #firefox folks told me on moznet20:06
brainwashit was the right thing to do20:07
brainwashthe issue could have been a caused by the ubuntu packaging20:07
kostkondonofrio, well since you are still at it you could try the nightly as well20:08
minimecdonofrio: You could give that firefox 55 tar from mozilla a try. You don't need to install it. Just untar the tar file and launch the firefox file in the folder. Maybe make a backup of the .mozilla folder.20:08
kostkondonofrio, that is ff5720:08
kostkondonofrio, it's safe to use ff57, it's definitely not safe to revert back and use ff5420:10
monk12oerheks: Whats the best way to run blkid on a box that doesn't boot? (be4 it would give me that error but stilll after many minutes eventually boot... i got into the system and ran blkid and updated grub, but now doesn't boot at all so *maybe* i updated the wrong thing in fstab)20:11
oerheksmonk12,  i don't kno, i told you i never mess with partitions in a vm, create a new one?20:12
oerheksi blame the vm hypervisor.20:13
oerhekstip: choose dynamic partitions, and lack of space is yesterday20:14
akikmonk12: boot the vm with a ubuntu iso keeping the disk in the config20:14
monk12akik: k, ill give that a shot.20:18
monk12akik: so I had a ubuntu 16.04 iso and attached that as my 'cd drive' in the vm and booted from my VM to it. Choose 'Try Ubuntu'. how can I view my actual hard drive in a Terminal here... Do i need to mount it?20:24
akikmonk12: sudo fdisk -l20:24
akikmonk12: if it's gpt partitioned, then sudo parted -l20:25
akikfdisk doesn't support gpt20:25
EriC^^monk12: you usually cant view your actual hard drive in the vm, unless you mean the vm hard drive?20:25
monk12akik: I can see my /dev/sda# hd's in the 'Try Ubuntu' Terminal when i ran the fdisk list command. I can't though for example do something like so: vi /dev/sda5/etc/fstab.  Should I mount it at this point?20:27
akikmonk12: yes, just create a mount point like /tmp/sda5 and mount it there20:27
JonelethIrenicusi was thinking about installing plain linux on a nexus 7 so I can use it as a display20:31
JonelethIrenicusmaybe with some kind of fast vnc server or something20:31
JonelethIrenicusany recommendations?20:31
akikJonelethIrenicus: maru os maybe20:31
JonelethIrenicusakik: more thinking about the nexus 7 being the display and not the computer20:32
JonelethIrenicusso it would run the vnc client20:33
JonelethIrenicusor something20:33
JonelethIrenicusi really want to keep latency to a minimum, but it isn't for like movies or anything that requires higher FPS20:33
JonelethIrenicusnot sure if you can do VNC over USB20:33
JonelethIrenicusany ideas?20:34
akikJonelethIrenicus: it's not a ubuntu question20:34
JonelethIrenicusakik: how do you figure?20:34
akikJonelethIrenicus: do you have ubuntu installed on the nexus 7?20:34
JonelethIrenicusakik: that was the plan20:34
JonelethIrenicusbut this is a planning stage of my project20:35
akikJonelethIrenicus: so, no?20:35
JonelethIrenicusso that is why I ask questions20:35
akikhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Nexus7/Installation20:35
JonelethIrenicusakik: that isn't really related to my question20:36
akikJonelethIrenicus: general linux questions go to #linux20:36
JonelethIrenicusakik: if you dont know just say so20:37
JonelethIrenicusits ok20:37
akikJonelethIrenicus: these are the rules of the land20:37
donofriominimec, the runtime firefox from mozilla.org did same as repo version - they changed something from 54 to 55 that relies on chromium things20:37
JonelethIrenicusakik: ok so you dont know20:37
akikJonelethIrenicus: it's not a question of my knowledge, but this discussion belongs somewhere else :)20:38
minimecdonofrio: Ok. Do you use pepperflash? And if yes, do you use the version from the repos or did you install pepperflash manually?20:38
JonelethIrenicusakik: it really doesn't you can ask questions about how to do something on ubuntu in this channel20:39
akikJonelethIrenicus: sure, follow the guide i linked to you20:39
donofriominimec, I do not (on these builds) use pepperflash because that is chromium and I do not have that installed only firefox20:39
tgm4883JonelethIrenicus: you want to use it as a secondary display?20:39
JonelethIrenicusakik: that is unrelated to what i was discussing20:40
JonelethIrenicustgm4883: yeah20:40
JonelethIrenicustgm4883: basically20:40
tgm4883JonelethIrenicus: I guess VNC then, or depending on what you plan on using it for maybe something like Synergy20:41
minimecdonofrio: There are standalone packages for firefox and a firefox plugin in the repos in the repository. Yet thee packages should not be the problem, as I use them myself.20:41
JonelethIrenicustgm4883: ok i guess that is the easiest method20:43
minimecdonofrio: Did you try to start a clean fesh profile? Could be that some 'legacy' extension causes problems.20:43
JonelethIrenicustgm4883: tgm4883 akik thanks20:43
tgm4883donofrio: do you have steps to reproduce the issue?20:43
donofriotgm4883, yep20:44
tgm4883donofrio: and they are....?20:45
tgm4883donofrio: I mean the next step here is to see if anyone else can reproduce your issue20:45
donofriotgm4883, https://apaste.info/7KUJ then update and you'll see the version 54.0.1 removed and 55.0.2 installed and then you cannot talk to ipc though broken chromium calls....20:46
donofrioI'm doing the bugzilla on the left machine while I chat ya...20:47
tgm4883donofrio: wait, this is all in the windows subsystem for linux?20:48
donofrioYep20:48
tgm4883donofrio: IIRC, what you're doing isn't supported, I'm not surprised it's broken20:48
kostkondonofrio, something important you forgot to mention20:49
damien^-Hello, what command shall i use to wipe a usb memory, then recreate it with a new filesystem?20:49
donofriowhat suprised me was to find out that firefox is using chromium bits in it....20:49
damien^-Its write protected.20:49
tgm4883donofrio: BTW, you should lead with information that makes your system vastly different than most20:50
donofriotgm4883, here is my setup https://1drv.ms/f/s!AsBlZbBf72iNm54HRrGo_Wa3BUs1pw - https://apaste.info/hhbf20:52
tgm4883donofrio: that's fine, I don't think graphical applications are supported in the windows subsystem for linux though20:53
donofriotgm4883, I used to use firefox daily on tmy boxes20:53
tgm4883donofrio: and I think you're going to have a difficult time finding anyone willing to help on that20:53
akiktgm4883: they're are not supported but they work20:53
tgm4883akik: apparently not ;)20:54
tgm4883donofrio: you used to and now it's broken. Precisely why something is unsupported (since it's likely completely untested)20:54
blackal3xis there a support channel in which i can talk to other programmers?20:56
=== th0r_ is now known as th0rr
MonkeyDustblackal3x  #ubuntu-app-devel20:56
donofriotgm4883, missing my point, firefox should not have reliance on another browser if you ask me20:59
donofrio54 didn't care20:59
tgm4883donofrio: I didn't miss that point, I think you're correct that it shouldn't. I'm just pointing out that you're asking for help in the wrong place as there isn't much we can do about that on our side.21:00
oerheksyeah, we told you in #ubuntu-discuss that those entries are pretty normal.. for years?21:00
minimecdonofrio: Maybe the integration of WebExtensions needs some chromium bits, as these new extensions should be compatible with chrome(ium)/firefox.21:01
brainwashthe first thing that I've told donofrio was that firefox does use code from 3rd parties21:02
brainwashbut he just ignores this fact21:02
minimecdonofrio: See... https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Chrome_incompatibilities21:02
tgm4883In any case, this doesn't appear to be a Ubuntu issue and there's not much we can do for it so it's off topic for this channel21:03
oerheks #ubuntu-on-windows is your place to be21:04
blackal3xi posted in app devel but im curious if someone ccan answer here.  what is a good program that would make designing GTK windows a bit easier than having to do them programmatically? (like how Visual Studio has a form and you drag/drop components onto it)21:07

tgm4883donofrio: Have you tried installed the missing components?21:13
donofriotgm4883, it's not missing21:13
donofrioit's internal component of ff5521:13
brainwashwhere is your bug report?21:13
donofrioit's the fact that ff is using chromium bits and when crhomium bit's do not work, it breaks ff5521:14
tgm4883donofrio: sorry you're right, I didn't remember the error correctly21:14
donofriodoing that now21:14
tgm4883donofrio: yea this needs to be a mozilla bug report21:14

donofriowould be neat if we have part of the topic askinga poll of users if they use wsl and want support in almost 1k users channel or keel them in a quite room with on 12 lurks21:15
tgm4883donofrio: no, we don't do polls here. In any case, what you're doing is super niche and unsupported21:16
donofriotgm4883, till next year when all the developers hear this awesomeness, just sayin ;)  (thank you all you good folks for tolerating me and my weirdness)21:17

shadow98hey guys i have my wlan0 interface set to manual in /etc/network/interfaces as I have an LTE modem I want to use the majority of the time.  WIth it set to manual how do i get that interface back online.  I am able to see it with ifconfig and I tried restarting networking and network manager and still am not able to select a wifi name in network manager up near the time.21:57
hehehehi21:58

heheherestatrted networking same21:58
heheheworks on the phone21:58
hehehe*restarted21:59
hehehehow to debug it22:00
tomreynshadow98: either you manage NICs via /etc/netowork/interfaces or you use network manager. You don't combine the two for a single NIC. if configured in /etc/netowrk/interfaces you bring it up using ifup wlan022:00
tomreynshadow98: but i'd actually recommend using netwokr-manager on a desktop computer22:01
tomreyn!wireless | hehehe22:01
ubottuhehehe: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs22:01
tomreynhehehe: start by identifying the chipset and driver22:02
tomreynthen check whether its firmware is loaded and current22:02
tomreynping against an ip address, first that of your gateway, then something on the internet, e.g. 8.8.8.8 (google public dns)22:03
tomreynonly then check whether doomain names work, too.22:03
tomreyn'ip a' to show ip addresses of all NICs22:04
tomreynincluding their gateways22:04
tomreynor 'ip r' for the gateway22:05
tomreyn"default via ..." -> ... is your gateway22:05
shadow98tomreyn: with network manager how do i set wlan0 to boot disabled?22:06
tomreynshadow98: ion connection properties, you edit its properties and select it to not auto-connect22:07
tomreyn*set, not select22:07
heheheso its dns resolution22:07
shadow98tomreyn: ha thanks man.  Sometimes I just make things so difficult :)22:08
tomreynwelcome22:08
tomreynhehehe: because you can ping both gateway and 8.8.8.8, but not ubuntu.com?22:09

aloo_shushadow98 I believe your question can be rephrased into : how can I configure the boot process in order to boot direectly into a login shell, without starting a logi/display manager22:56
aloo_shu*login22:56
jeppechHi, I've got a bash script, that I'd like to execute when i push <Super><Shift>4. I've tried registering it, as a custom shortcut under the keyboard settings, but it's not getting registered, and neither does Compiz Config. Anyone know, what I'm doing wrong?22:58
jeppechI'm on Ubuntu Gnome 17.04 btw22:59
aloo_shushadow98 afaik it could be done through grub - the right boot parameter. Or by giving sytremd the right config . Until somebody can help you with more detail, you could spend some time by typing 'info grub' or 'info  systemd' in a terminal. 'info info' to learn how info works. That's for study, if nobody helps, just ask again every 10-20 min23:03
shadow98ok thanks I am using ubuntu mate btw23:08
aloo_shushodow98 so you do have an idea how to login without a display/login manager, right? How would you do it?23:10
shadow98i don't know yet23:10
aloo_shushadow98 then I do not know exactly where you want to get, maybe I missed a few lines?23:11
shadow98I have to figure out which login manager im using and then edit the config first23:19
shadow98aloo_shu: looks like it is lightdm23:20
glaucomGood night people.23:20
glaucomI have a question about video cards, could anyone help me?23:21
glaucomI have a notebook, which has a 740m geforce video card, I wonder if it is used for HDMI and VGA output or if it is used for the notebook screen?23:22
aloo_shushadow98 most of the things you can edit in lightdm's config, you can probably edit in a graphical way from settings -> session and login or similar23:22
oerheksglaucom, both.23:22
glaucomhttps://pastebin.com/nWFguFEd23:23
glaucomresult of lspci23:23
aloo_shushadow98 if you do not want the login screen to show at all, you will have to configure things in a way that lighdm is not invoked at all23:23
glaucomIt's because I have not been able to run the nvidia driver in debian at all, ubuntu already runs perfectly. And just wanted to confirm that the correct driver is actually loaded.23:24
aloo_shushadow98 but for that, you need to understand what a display manager *doesw* ,because if you skip it, *you* will have to know how to do that by hand23:24
glaucomI ended up studying a little bit about xorg, but every time I'm more confused. Lol23:25
oerheksglaucom, you can switch with the nvidia tool, see last pic in http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2016/04/switch-intel-nvidia-graphics-ubuntu-16-04/23:26
Bashing-omglaucom: pastebin - lspci -k|grep -iEA5 'vga|3d' - to see the hybrid graphic's set . Then we match a nvidia driver .23:26

=== gomjabbar is now known as GomJabbar
shadow98aloo_shu: https://askubuntu.com/questions/139014/how-to-disable-lightdm look at last post.  I still want the desktop environment to start on a reboot23:45
aloo_shushadow98 , reconnect again, but: if disabling lightdm worked that way, just put an 'enable' instead of the 'disable', and you should be fine. you should pay close attention to which user is performing these commands. Unnecessarily doing things as root can lead to scenarios where the system cannot set some settings for the user session, so whatever you do, be sure you know how to undo it23:55
shadow98aloo_shu: well i screwed up already23:57
aloo_shushadow98 another simple way of logging in one time without display manager, is choosing 'Advanced options for...' in the Grub boot menu, and boot into single user/rescue mode23:57
shadow98aloo_shu: To configure the Desktop to auto-login (Ubuntu MATE 14.04) add an autologin-user line specifying your user name to the /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/60-lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf file. For example: [SeatDefaults] greeter-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter autologin-user=srackham Conf files in the /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/ directory are cascaded into the lightdm login manager in alpha order.  <--- i23:57
shadow98tried this instead.23:57
aloo_shushadow98 so if you screwed up, what I just posted could help :)23:58
