[00:34] find a torrent, right click properties > open with [00:34] nacc: probably, yes. [00:35] Dodek: sounds like you want to specify 100 PPI, I think that depends on the applicationn used and if your printer can do it [00:35] Dodek: https://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-tutorial-quickie-scale-print.html e.g. [00:36] Dodek: i thinkn your mistake might be thinking that pixels are a unit of size [00:36] hi2all! I would like to set up memory usage limit for process by pid (or by name) so, that process mem swap. I've found way through cgroups. Is there another way? If no how to do it by cgroups?

[00:59] Sveta, in article author uses utilities cgcreate and cgclassify; is there way to done it without such utilities by writing values in files of cgroup2 fs? [00:59] wildc4rd: Forum be down . can ping but page does not load . [01:00] b100s you could run your process in a new shell where you alter the ulimit [01:03] Sveta, `ulimit — set or report file size limit`, there is no mem limits [01:03] b100s it can do memory limits too [01:04] i don't see such possibility [01:17] Why won't ubuntuforums.org load for me?

[04:27] Good Evening, My computer when shutting down takes forever. Looks like it gets stuck on trying to stop the network manager [04:28] I'm on 17.10 and never had this issue until upgrading from 17.04 [04:40] what is the package for the simple `mail` command? just want to test mstmprc [04:46] hendry: mailutils [04:47] Would someone mind helping me figure out an issue I have with my machine and IPv6? I have a static IP address that is being managed by /etc/network/interfaces, the file itself is correct, I have had multiple people double check it. However, when I try to do anything with IPv6 it will fail usually stating that it can't reach a host. [04:48] So I have been trying to restart my networking service, but every time I do that, I get this fun error message in journalctl: RTNETLINK answers: File exists [04:48] I can't ping the gateway, which means something is wrong with my routing table... [04:48] But, I can't figure out what or how to remove what I THINK is the invalid entry. [04:53] * alkisg waves [04:58] alkisg: caliculk has issues with ipv6, ipv4 works ok, restarting of networking gives error in journalctl " RTNETLINK answers: File exists" [04:59] Sveta: many ISPs have IPv6 issues here, so in network-manager I check to use it only for the link-local network :) [05:00] how come ubuntu 17.10 iso doesnt contain software to burn cd/dvd discs? [05:05] alkisg, unfortunately network-manager is not an option here. I have a link-local address, however, I am trying to configure inbound access on ipv6 [05:06] Apachez: probably because most people use USB flash drives to boot nowadays [05:07] kevin125: You should not be using such an old kernel with btrfs. [05:10] In that case, I can't just use link-local to verify. I need to verify outbound and inbound connectivity. [05:10] That has to be with the public one, not the link local. [05:11] kevin125: I wouldn't use btrfs with Ubuntu 14.04 at all, but at the very least you should be using a much more recent kernel (like the latest upstream stable kernel release) when using btrfs. [05:13] I guess I should go to #networking or something like that for this convo? [05:17] mutante: yeah but other shit like various games that noone plays comes along but not something useful as a burner software such as brasero!? [05:17] I was hoping that I might have missed that it is included but obviously it isnt [05:18] that is if you download the ubuntu 17.10 iso and create a bootable usb in order to burn things [05:18] and whatelse [05:23] Apachez: afaict the packages are selected by popularity, results of http://popcon.ubuntu.com/ [05:24] Apachez: is it a problem for you to just install brasero from the internet once install is finished? [05:24] you could make a DVD to get more packages on it [05:49] I used to have on the upper right corner of Fluxbox an icon that allowed me to change my input language from English to Chinese (so I can type in Chinese), but I turned off that icon, and now I can't find it anymore. How do I load it again? [06:10] mutante: the problem was that I didnt have storage to install ubuntu on disk and install brasero and then create an iso out of this installation - all I had was the ubuntu 17.10 iso so I was hoping that burning software was already included when you use that iso as livecd but obivously not [06:20] Apachez: http://www.knoppix.org/ Knoppix is the first Linux Live CD that was around and apparently has Brasero on it === JanC_ is now known as JanC [06:23] knoppix also allowed you to boot off dvd, then remove the dvd, and use the burner to make other dvds. Is brasero still buggy? Can you get by with growisofs from the command line? [06:42] Apachez: you can install software on the live cd, so you can run brasero there [07:10] Hi all, I have ran into a strange issue with ubuntu 16.04. Whenever a network cable is present and link is up but no network connectivity is possible the GUI is not responding. There is no mouse. And 10 programs display crash messages [07:10] Anybody have any idea why this is happening or where to look? [07:10] Start with reporting the crash messages :) [07:11] They will likely point to the underlying issue that then exposed some bug in those apps [07:12] hi ther, i have set up a moodle on a ubuntu 16.04 with apache2. My Problem is, if i go to http://server it shows me the index with a moodle folder. if i click the moodlefolder, i get to my moodle startpage [07:13] now, how do i get it, to show the startpage with the serveradress? [07:16] @alkisg, I am unable to open the crash reports and dmesg does not indicate a problem except for the lack of network configuration. Can you point me in the right direction where the logging might be? [07:17] certaindestiny: crash dumps go to /var/crash/*, you can report them even after reboot when you have net and no issues [07:24] @alkisg, Apparently unity-settings-daemon crashed. [07:24] certaindestiny: that could then cause several issues; start by reporting that one [07:27] @alkisg, in the .crash i am unable to find a reason for the crash. only the core dump and procmaps. Do you know where the deamon normally logs to/ [07:28] certaindestiny: you can try ~/.xsession-errors [07:29] @ducasse, Isnt that rewritten on every boot? [07:30] certaindestiny: on gui login, i would think - just login to a console instead [07:31] Hey guys, anyone here know how to configure wminput? I'm trying to use my uDraw gametablet with Ubuntu 16.10. I have gotten the pen to move the mouse, but the sensitivity seems to be so severe that moving the pen slightly moves the mouse across half of the screen. [07:31] certaindestiny: (you don't need the @ before the nick on irc, it will actually prevent some clients from highlighting) [07:32] thomas_: 16.10 is eol - you need to upgrade to a supported release [07:32] ducasse, I am unable to switch terminals as the login hangs on the other ttys (sorry didnt know it was an issue) [07:33] ducasse: ah.. okay, ty. it seems like yesterday that i upgraded though! i'll upgrade and come back [07:34] certaindestiny: hmmm. which kernel are you on? [07:34] thomas_: you are two releases behind :) [07:34] 4.4.0-97-generic [07:35] certaindestiny: ok, what kind of gpu and driver? [07:35] no manpage for redis? [07:35] nvidia GPU, Driver i believe is the legacy one. Let me check real quick [07:36] nvidia-384/xenial [07:37] ducasse, There are also older packages installed for the nvidia driver. might that pose an issue? [07:38] certaindestiny: i'm not sure of that, tbh - i thought they conflicted so you could only install one at a time [07:38] certaindestiny: have you tried installing the hwe stack? [07:40] Ducasse, Sorry i am unfamiliar with hwe, What is it and how can we install? [07:41] !hwe [07:41] The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack [07:42] I need some help I have 2 interfaces one interface which provides internet access via USB and another interface a LAN card going to a switch (not router). I want all the traffic from the USB interface to be passed to the ethernet interface so other compputers on the network can access the internet over the switch and receive ip's from the DHCP USB router how do I do that? [07:42] certaindestiny: it might help with the networking lockup thing you described. i can't be sure of that, of course, but it's an easy thing to test. [07:43] I followed this https://serverfault.com/questions/431593/iptables-forwarding-between-two-interface the answer with 16 upvotes but it did not work. [07:43] aiena2, Do you want to still use the pc or do you want to turn it into a dedicated router? [07:43] certaindestiny: I want to use the PC as well as make it a router for the other PC's on the lan [07:43] id it is possible [07:43] *if [07:44] aiena2, I have done so a couple of years ago with ip tables. However some networking knowledge is recommended [07:45] certaindestiny: can you guide me I have some networking knowledge but I think this is more forwardinmg traffic because real routing is between two networks [07:45] here there is only one network two interfaces [07:45] the network is to be provided purely by the USB interface with it's DHCP giving LAN ip's [07:45] the rest of the computers connect via the other interface to the PC [07:46] aiena, If you want this to work you do need to have 2 sepperate subnets as the " router " wont know which interface to route traffic through [07:46] ok then I have a problem [07:46] aiena2: try asking in ##networking [07:47] because the USB modem does not allw me to specify subnets [07:47] or configure DHCP [07:47] I'll try [07:49] aiena, https://www.tecmint.com/setup-linux-as-router/ Try this. It focusses more on centos and doesnt do NAT but it might help you understand what is going on [07:51] ducasse, I will try deinstalling the old drivers and updating to the latest hwe [07:51] aiena2: be aware, many of those usb modems have magic in them that attempts to detect and block traffic coming from other computers [07:52] aiena2, In that case you will niet to masquarade. I believe it is mentioned in the article aswell [07:52] ducasse: this modem is an android device which provides wifi [07:52] need* [07:52] so it allows multiple computers to connect to it over wifi [07:52] only it has no screen and stuff [07:53] aiena2, you might want to look into pfsense if this is a more permanent solution and you have the ability to place hardware [07:53] and does not allw you to change the local network or configure DHCP [07:54] certaindestiny: this is a temporary solution my ISP has some cut wire and they wont be able to fix it for a day I need internet for computers for today [07:54] aiena2: what's the output of `ip a` ? [07:54] (while both networks are connected) [07:55] alkisg: I had messed up with iptables a bit following a guide I will post here. WIll that affect this output? [07:55] certaindestiny: try those things first, then report back if it doesn't work. [07:55] alkisg: http://paste.opensuse.org/view/raw/3d702975 output of "ip a" [07:55] aiena2: no [07:57] alkisg: 'enxfcde56ff0106' is the USB interface the other one is 'enp3s0' [07:57] aiena2: which ubuntu version is that? [07:57] aiena2, I think it would be smart for you to draw the network and identify the interfaces/ip. assume that the device functions as a router with NAT/Masquarading enabled [07:57] alkisg: Ubuntu 16.04.3 but on kubuntu of it [07:58] aiena2: network manager offers an option to set up a connection for internet sharing. Does it offer that in kubuntu as well? [07:58] alkisg: running ' 4.4.0-97-generic' kernel [07:58] New ethernet connection, and then in the connection editor, select the "internet sharing" option [07:58] alkisg: it might because KDE uses networkmanager [07:58] Try it [07:58] how do I reset my iptables? [07:59] iptables -F [07:59] aiena2: e.g. this documents what i'm proposing: https://askubuntu.com/questions/691986/network-manager-shared-connection-and-manual-settings-of-the-interface [07:59] (the gui way there) [08:00] dnsmasq-base is preinstalled in ubuntu 16.04.3, no need to install it [08:00] alkisg: I cannot find out how to do it with network manager [08:00] Have a quick look at the picture in the article [08:00] If kubuntu doesn't offer connection sharing, ok, do it with console [08:03] aiena2 (if he comes back), https://nowardev.wordpress.com/2013/12/04/kubuntu-14-04-how-to-install-kubuntu-sharing-a-wifi-connection-with-another-computer/ [08:03] "Wired (shared)" it's called in Kubuntu === jackNemrod_ is now known as jackNemrod [08:08] alkisg: sorry iptable -F messed up something [08:08] (11:03:45 πμ) alkisg: aiena2 (if he comes back), https://nowardev.wordpress.com/2013/12/04/kubuntu-14-04-how-to-install-kubuntu-sharing-a-wifi-connection-with-another-computer/ [08:08] (11:03:54 πμ) alkisg: "Wired (shared)" it's called in Kubuntu [08:08] aiena2: so you have a GUI way to do it, no need to use a console [08:09] Note that you'll have 2 different subnets, and your PC will temporarily be a dhcp server [08:09] And masquerade the traffic to the phone [08:11] alkisg: here both interfaces are on the same PC [08:11] is it possible to do this shared thing on the same PC? [08:12] aiena2: that's exactly what the article documents [08:12] alkisg: but it is to another PC [08:12] It has a wifi and a wired connection, and it's sharing the wired to "other pcs" [08:12] You have a usb and a wired connection, and you want to share the wired to "other pcs" [08:12] Exactly same thing [08:13] I want to share the USB provided with the wired [08:13] Yes [08:13] As I said, same thing, please read the article [08:13] so the USB is the long name [08:13] Yes [08:13] Read the article. :) [08:13] and the wired is the short name [08:13] Yes [08:13] Read the article. :) [08:14] I read it but am a bit confused [08:14] OK, ask questions then [08:14] so for the shred connection I still dont need to specify which interface [08:14] shared [08:14] or di Iset retricted to "wired interface name" [08:14] You share the wired connection. That "share" actually means that "other pcs" will use it, and will get "your internet" [08:14] *do I set restricted to [08:14] They don't care how you get the internet [08:15] You don't need to restrict to device, no [08:15] ...as the screenshots there show [08:15] alkisg: and that network isnt connected because I am connected to the USB one [08:15] It doesn't matter [08:16] It'll get a static ip and it'll become a dhcp server [08:16] so now all other pc's will get the network over the wire let me try with another PC [08:17] http://www.ciscopress.com/content/images/chap2_9781587133237/elementLinks/02fig03.jpg [08:17] aiena2 you are basically building this. you kubuntu pc is the router [08:17] The kubuntu pc is "s1" in the picture [08:18] "r1" would be the phone [08:18] Eh... not exactly, anyway... [08:18] alkisg: not really R1 is my PC, R2 is the phone [08:18] r2 is the ISP router [08:18] correct. [08:19] Like i said before. When you know what you wanne build you can build it ;) [08:19] USB is port is the S/0/0/0 and the enthernet port on my PC is G0/0 of R1, R2 gives DHCP [08:19] There are 3 subnets involved, they don't all show up in that example diagram [08:19] aiena2, in your case R1 is also giving dhcp [08:19] internal subnet for wired, internet facing subnet for phone, and the external, internet ip of the phone [08:20] certaindestiny: hmm R1 being my PC should give DHCP from only R2 [08:20] it receives an IP from R2 too [08:20] Anyways I think you're making a simple GUI-matter complex now :) [08:20] aiena2, now as you need 2 different subnets for a router to work [08:21] SO I need G0/0 to be on a different network than S/0/0/0 na droute from S0/0/0 to G0/0 that is typically how it would be done [08:22] I dont understnad hw the PC will give DHCP unless I make it a router [08:23] I want my PC to be more like a switch [08:23] with the USB and the ethenet NIC as ports [08:23] alkisg: I set up the shared wired connection [08:24] Hello. [08:24] the other PC is not reciecing the internet from this PC [08:24] but will try later need to go for lunch [08:24] I'm having some trouble reinstalling ubuntu. Have tried trice already today, but it doesen't boot [08:28] aiena2: what's the output of `ip a` now? Also, on the other PCs, check, did they get an IP? [08:28] Anyone able to help me with my instalaton problem? [08:30] *installation [08:32] when it comes to copying a bunch of files to a drive and then unmounting (for example, mount /dev/sdb1 /media/sdcard; cp -a foo /media/sdcard/; umount /dev/sdb1) will using the 'sync' mount option really make things much slower? [08:32] torm, Are you seeing grub when booting? [08:33] Jup, but as soon as i try to boot it gets stuck. Like i said, i have tried to reinstall it several time after i broke it a couple days ago, but it doesen't want to boot [08:34] Is there a message on the screen when you boot? [08:35] Nope, it just gets stuck on the ubuntu logo, or the blank orange screen before it [08:36] When you pres ctrl+alt f1 or f2 are you able to see logging? [08:36] ill check [08:38] Also there are a few "failsafes" on boot which might take up to 15 minutes dending on configuration and packages installed. it might be able to boot when you wait 15 minutes [08:39] ducasse, I am still having issues with GUI [08:39] updating did not fix it :( [08:41] I'm back. Does anyone here have experience with wminput? I'm trying to use my uDraw tablet, but the pen is extremely sensitive with the config I'm using. The left mouse button will also need to be "inverted" (Press it when the button on the pen is not pressed, vice versa) [08:42] Here's my config: https://hastebin.com/asakixodiz.php [08:42] Wait, let me paste it to the actual paste thing (Just caught a glimpse of the topic), sorry [08:43] Here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25828896/ (Sorry for this unintentional spam.) [08:51] Hello i want ask something please this install libreadline6-dev for java? === r0Oter is now known as r00ter [09:01] Hi! Does someone know how I can make sure my PC cannot make any connections to a specific IP address? [09:02] ufw [09:05] Oh sorry ikonia, with iptables [09:06] ufw is a front end to iptables [09:06] Do I use: iptables -D INPUT -s IP.ADDRESS -j DROP ? [09:06] if you want specific iptables rules help the #netfilter channel can help [09:06] ah thanks === JanC_ is now known as JanC [09:14] | changed my dns resolver from /etc/resolver but systemd-resolver overwrote it. [09:14] How to change my dns resolver permanently? [09:21] in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/ [09:30] kevin125: No such as directory [09:30] ubuntu or not? [09:31] There is a update-libc.d [09:31] Ubuntu. [09:32] Ubuntu 17.10... [09:33] Does anybody else get really high CPU usage by the slack desktop program (>20%) [09:34] after I install Ubuntu via nomodeset how do I get my gpu functioning properly so I can actually use the OS? [09:35] depends on the gpu, probably just by installing the correct driver [09:35] papyrcat: hold shift to get to grub to append nomodeset again, then install the restricted driver [09:35] papyrcat: either via gui or a "sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall" [09:36] "restricted" driver? and what will that install? the mesa ones, or the amdgpu-pro ones, orr something else entirely? [09:45] hey guys, how can i know that RHEL is using proxy connection? My initial [09:45] analysis was to check whether environment variable is set up already, by [09:51] for a dudal boot, do I need to shrink Windows before running the Ubuntu installer? [09:51] dual* [09:54] papyrcat: usually it is best to shrink windows partitions with tools native to windows but gparted and the partitioning segment in the ubuntu installer can be used also [09:56] auronandace how much space should I set aside for root? 20GB-ish? [09:56] papyrcat: entirely depends on what you plan to do with ubuntu [09:57] papyrcat: if you are hosting loads of VM's then you'll find 20gb very limiting [09:57] but if it's mainly going to be gaming/music production...? [09:58] papyrcat: if you are just using ubuntu for browsing the internet and listening to music, watching movies then 20gb should be fine (especially if you have a separate storage partition) [09:58] i've got a 2TB HDD [09:59] and a 256GB SSD i'm splitting with windows [09:59] I was planning on giving Ubuntu around 100-120GB of it, with 20 for root and the rest for /home [09:59] papyrcat: games can be quite big and movie/music production can take quite some space [09:59] unless there's not a separate /home partition and i'm just getting confused [10:00] papyrcat: you can have a separate /home partition if you want (i only tend to use a root partition) [10:00] i'll likely go with whatever the default is, i don't particularly need a separate /home, I think [10:01] that makes it easier, then I can just un-allocate 120gb-ish for /root and be good to go? [10:01] papyrcat: in that case 100gb should be fine, that is what i use for my laptop installation and i do a tiny bit of video editing on rare occasion [10:01] i think that should be enough for a few games at a time and a pile of VSTs and such [10:02] not much more I can give with a 256gb ssd [10:03] auronandace do you know which drivers "sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall" installs, as far as GPU goes? [10:03] papyrcat: by default it tries to use the open source drivers but you can change that later [10:03] papyrcat: depends on your card [10:04] my 390 is a pain, i can't even run the installer without nomodeset so i'm worried about finding the right drivers after boot [10:04] i probably need the mesa ones [10:04] but if those are the ones its trying to use for the installer and it's not working...i dunno :s [10:05] hi, I am configuring ubuntu server, ping 8.8.8.8 is working but I am not able to ping google.com neither sudo apt-get update works [10:05] I have connected to ethernet and configured the connection. [10:05] check your dns server settings [10:05] samy__ check dns config [10:06] samy__ https://askubuntu.com/questions/346838/how-do-i-configure-my-dns-settings-in-ubuntu-server [10:07] certaindestiny: already did this, both up and down works, I have the same setting, I have dns 8.8.8.8 in /etc/network/interfaces also [10:07] a normal ping works and I am able to connect when I go to try ubuntu in simple internet also [10:08] Can you send your interfaces file using pastebin? [10:08] if simple ping work and domain name not working, it's a dns issue [10:08] ikevin Could be a firewall not allowing edns0 [10:09] certaindestiny, yes, so a dns issue at firewall level [10:09] ikevin: certaindestiny its not a firewal issue as net works in try ubuntu on simple ubuntu [10:09] for dns what can be the issue? [10:10] Samy__, try (as tem solution): echo "namserver 8.8.8.8" > /etc/resolv.conf [10:10] temp* [10:10] nameserver 8.8.8.8* [10:10] Samy__ Please send us your interfaces configuration. You can also try to use dig +tcp google.com and see if that works [10:10] ikevin: already did that didnt work [10:15] or try dig google.com @8.8.8.8 [10:15] certaindestiny: https://pastebin.com/WZSazjg2 [10:16] dns-nameservers X.X.X.X [10:16] Please change the config and reboot the networking service [10:16] certaindestiny: chanding dns to dns-nameservers or adding this? [10:17] changing [10:17] dns 1 and dns 2 is rhel config [10:19] certaindestiny: I also have auto lo iface lo inet loopback should I remove it? [10:19] hello. [10:20] no.
