[00:00] <shazbotmcnasty> I'm having issues with apache2 now. made no changes in the past few hours and it was working fine - now I'm getting http error 500
[00:00] <shazbotmcnasty> i was setting this server up for pxe
[00:00] <shazbotmcnasty> no clue what might've happened
[00:01] <Sveta> you need to check apache logs
[00:01] <Sveta> they are in /var/log/apache2/ or something similar
[00:07] <shazbotmcnasty> Sveta: haha I'm trying to look through these logs but daaaaang that's a lot of stuff
[00:07] <shazbotmcnasty> https://pastebin.com/xD5Tugm9
[00:07] <Sveta> that's https://pastebin.com/raw/xD5Tugm9
[00:08] <Sveta> your php application tries to access a directory but does not have permissions
[00:08] <shazbotmcnasty> okey how would one give it permissions?
[00:08] <Sveta> you need to read the error message and figure out which directory it's trying to access
[00:09] <fatalhalt> how can you move Ubuntu dock?
[00:10] <Sveta> shazbotmcnasty: i'd tell you which directory it is, but it has a bunch of paths in that error message and i'm not sure which ones are a part of the app and which ones it is trying to access
[00:11] <Sveta> so it's a bit confusing to me as i don't know what parts the app includes
[00:14] <cookmod> hi is it possible to run lol on Ubuntu 16.04?
[00:15] <cookmod> :D
[00:16] <kostkon> cookmod, what exactly is 'lol'
[00:16] <cookmod> league of legends
[00:16] <tomreyn> shazbotmcnasty: i'd say the correct perspective is that the php code which recursively works on directories fails to handle the situation where a directory is not accessible to it. but changing permissions / ownership of /var/www/fog/iso/15.2/[BOOT] to make it readbale by the process running the php application would work around it.
[00:16] <shazbotmcnasty> Sveta: looking through the index.php file
[00:18] <tomreyn> cookmod: maybe through wine, not natively..
[00:19] <tomreyn> !info wine
[00:20] <oerheks> install PlayOnLinux, search lol, install League of Legends
[00:20] <dax> (wine is a virtual package, you want wine-stable or wine-development)
[00:20] <dax> (ubottu can't handle virtual packages :)
[00:23] <cookmod> does any one here actually have ubuntu 16.04 and LoL?
[00:23] <shazbotmcnasty> yay changing the permissions on that file fixed it
[00:25] <cookmod> who here uses weechat?
[01:58] <limbo_> When I plug an audio jack into my front panel it makes the rear-io device disappear, and another one appear. Is there any way to configure my machine so I can choose one or the other. I'm on 17.10.
[02:23] <kd7swh> I’m having trouble getting a UEFI bootable USB drive to be recognized by my new Lenovo Flex 4. I used rufus with a 64-bit 17.10 iso and made sure to use gpt but I just get a dialog saying there is no bootable media found.
[02:28] <kd7swh> A dd copy of the iso from my debian laptop wasn't recognized as bootable media either.
[02:30] <Bashing-om> !md5sum | kd7swh Did you ?
[02:33] <oerheks> disabled fastboot ?
[02:34] <oerheks> that could prevent booting from usb
[02:35] <kd7swh> I did disable fast boot and hibernate didn't check the hash but I will now
[02:37] <kd7swh> My MD5 hash checks out okay
[02:41] <Bashing-om> kd7swh: Next up is to check the copy of the .iso ; There is an option " check disk for defects " on the medium boot menu .
[02:41] <oerheks>  Intel Smart Response Technology (SRT) too ? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI#General_principles
[02:51] <fatalhalt> is anybody able to use gnome shell extensions in 17.10?
[02:51] <Sveta_> why not
[02:52] <fatalhalt> everytime I install gnome-shell-extensions and enable the ability for 'user extensions' my stock 17.10 theme gets messed up
[02:52] <fatalhalt> I get thrown into classic gnome3 shell theme and gray adwaita theme
[02:56] <dartrunner> I want to use 16.04 server without a swap partition because I have a boot disk of 120gb and have 96gb of memory. So when I use guided disk setup I end up with only 24GB left on my hd.
[02:57] <dartrunner> Can someone direct me to a resourse on getting this setup correctly?
[02:58] <oerheks> just skip step 7 http://ubuntuserverguide.com/2013/02/manual-disk-partition-guide-for-ubuntu-server-edition.html
[03:01] <dartrunner> Thanks
[03:03] <arvin_> fatalhalt: check your ~/.themes directory and what the shell theme is set to in gnome-tweak-tool
[03:05] <fatalhalt> looks like Ubuntu has disabled 'user-themes' in 17.10 release on purpose https://askubuntu.com/questions/966586/how-to-enable-user-shell-theme-extension-in-latest-ubuntu-17-10
[03:06] <fatalhalt> this guy got same thing, so I'm not alone, https://askubuntu.com/questions/966712/17-10-gnome-installing-gnome-shell-extensions-removes-default-theme-entirely
[03:06] <fatalhalt> https://i.stack.imgur.com/g1Rax.png
[03:08] <arvin_> don't think ubuntu did anything to be honest. works fine on my machine. not sure what the cause is on yours
[03:08] <fatalhalt> arvin_, do you have 'chrome-gnome-shell' installed?
[03:08] <arvin_> yeah
[03:09] <fatalhalt> i don't
[03:09] <arvin_> do you use https://extensions.gnome.org to install your extensions?
[03:10] <fatalhalt> I'm manually unzipping extension from that website to ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ but TweakTool doesn't see them
[03:10] <kk4ewt> use the tweak-tool
[03:10] <fatalhalt> I don't want to install google's browser runtime just to install gnome-shell extensions
[03:11] <arvin_> you've enabled the User Themes extension in tweak tool?
[03:12] <fatalhalt> arvin_, it doesn't show up in tweak tool, probably because I don't have chrome-gnome-shell installed
[03:13] <arvin_> really bizarre, figured they were mutually exclusive
[03:16] <arvin_> you may need to do ALT+F2 then type r
[03:16] <arvin_> see if TweakTool sees it then
[03:16] <arvin_> or logout/login etc
[03:18] <fatalhalt> hmmm i don't feel like messing with it anymore, just installed chrome-gnome-shell and everything is working now, easy as browsing extensions.gnome.org and enabling extensions in Firefox
[03:18] <arvin_> nice
[03:28] <shootsafe> Hi I am having problems with my laptop, when it gets loaded too much cpufreq/pstate will switch to freqs outside the hardware limits 500Mhz instead of 800 and it will stay this low until reboot
[03:28] <shootsafe> https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/oIKMymdy/
[03:29] <shootsafe> i've tried to reset it but I can't seem to fix it..
[03:30] <shootsafe> https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/cVrq14Sr/
[03:32] <shootsafe> anyone got any ideas, or what to check for in logs?
[05:09] <jackjohn> hi guys, sometimes ubuntu automatically logout after locking it. Version 17.10
[05:09] <jackjohn> anyone else facing same issue?
[05:16] <alkisg> Good morning all
[05:18] <Ademan> I upgraded from ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04 and now my /dev/random seems to never get above 48 bits (bytes?) of entropy. I have no flipping clue what's consuming it. lsof didn't reveal any obvious culprits
[05:19] <Ademan> Has anyone seen similar issues and possibly have a solution or a lead to pursue?
[05:34] <Ademan> huh, well, it seems that my 'shuf' command was the culprit, it kept consuming entropy but never produced a result
[05:35] <Ademan> I knew it was consuming entropy, but on ubuntu 14.04 there was always plenty for it to complete. I don't know if I just have less entropy so it's taking longer (I let it run all last night without a result, typical runtime on 14.04 was less than a second)
[06:10] <davido_> On the release notes for 17.10 under Known Issues (Desktop) it is suggested that there is a problem logging in on a laptop that has external monitors connected, and its internal screen disabled. Is this an issue that affects everyone with such a configuration, or just an unlucky minority?
[06:12] <davido_> I ask because my work laptop is often used in this configuration, and I've been hesitant to allow an upgrade from 17.04 to take place.
[06:38] <Woodpecker> Need help. Update broke machine. Has infinite boot. Can't enter recovery root prompt because enter will not work
[06:39] <Vaderwest> In installed the newest version of Ubuntu, trying to download synaptic package, but it will not let me.  Any way to fix that?
[06:39] <davido_> Can you boot to a usb drive, mount your filesystem, and do a backup for good measure, and then a fresh install instead of upgrade?
[06:40] <Woodpecker> Infinite boot after update. Can't enter recovery boot prompt because enter key does not work, so password can't be entered
[06:40] <alkisg> Woodpecker: boot from a live cd/usb in order to try to repair it
[06:40] <Woodpecker> Need help
[06:41] <alkisg> Vaderwest: what's the output of `sudo apt install synaptic` ?
[06:42] <Woodpecker> Have no live CD. Was thinking of doing it from grub command line
[06:42] <Vaderwest> Just tried that and I think it's working.
[06:42] <alkisg> Woodpecker: does "init=/bin/bash" in grub let you type things?
[06:43] <alkisg> Woodpecker: i.e. you select ubuntu, you type "e" to edit the command line, you remove "quiet splash" and you add "init=/bin/bash"
[06:43] <Woodpecker> Will try
[06:48] <Woodpecker> Took out quiet splash. In its place, added init=/...
[06:48] <Woodpecker> Purple screen
[06:49] <alkisg> When you are done editing, press f10 to boot
[06:49] <Woodpecker> I did
[06:50] <Woodpecker> Using btrfs if that matters
[06:50] <alkisg> No, but it sounds like you edited it wrong
[06:50] <alkisg> Replacing quiet splash with init=/bin/bash and pressing f10 should have given you a root@(none):/# prompt
[06:52] <Woodpecker> No dice.
[06:52] <alkisg> OK then use a live cd/usb
[06:52] <Woodpecker> Bah... Wish I had mir
[06:57] <Woodpecker> Do I keep $vt_handoff ¿
[06:57] <alkisg> It doesn't matter
[07:00] <alkisg> Woodpecker: btw if enter is not working, try ctrl+m instead of enter
[07:01] <Woodpecker> Sadly already tried that.
[07:02] <zztopless> evening other humans... playing around with freenet and prefer to have it just on it's own box.  This is fine and was easy to get working, but browsing freenet sites means URLS starting with  http://localhost:8888/
[07:04] <zztopless> I was hoping someone might have a simple way to have localhost:8888 resolve to freenet-box-lan-ip:8888
[07:05] <Woodpecker> I think setting the init is giving a kernel panic
[07:08] <alkisg> purple or panic? :)
[07:08] <Woodpecker> a Arara
[07:08] <Woodpecker> Panic
[07:09] <Woodpecker> Anyway. Maybe I can edit recovery to send me straight to a shell
[07:14] <alkisg> How will you edit recovery?
[07:16] <sonu_nk> hi any help regarding mysql udf installation ?
[07:17] <Ben64> sonu_nk: you should be more specific
[07:18] <sonu_nk> i want to install mysql udf https://github.com/mysqludf/lib_mysqludf_sys#readme but i am not getting how to install
[07:20] <Ben64> that hasn't been updated in 5 years, probably not a good idea to install
[07:31] <Woodpecker> Oh I can press enter... But now I can't figure out my password
[07:31] <alkisg> Root doesn't have password
[07:31] <alkisg> (in recovery)
[07:32] <Woodpecker> That's what I thought too, but its asking me for one.
[07:32] <alkisg> And if you press enter it accepts it
[07:33] <Woodpecker> Have you tried on 1710?
[07:33] <alkisg> "Press enter for maintenance (or press Ctrl+D to continue)"
[07:34] <alkisg> Yup, tried on 17.10
[07:34] <alkisg> If it asks for a *password* there, that means you've manually set a root password
[07:34] <Woodpecker> Fuck
[07:34] <alkisg> !language
[07:34] <Woodpecker> Maybe I gave it one when I was setting up SQL
[07:35] <Woodpecker> !cookie
[07:38] <zztopless> would it be possible in a network config pac file to have freenets URLS beginning with http://localhost:8888/restofurl resolve to the desired lan-ip:8888/restofurl?
[07:38] <Woodpecker> Oh... Jeepers, I think my system changed my layout to Workman....
[07:39] <Woodpecker> Lo no, its worse. Ahahaha... This is bad. Its my experimental layout
[07:51] <rdz> hey all. i am running ubuntu 16.04 and i can't install libgles1-mesa-dev: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25863590/
[07:52] <rdz> it seems there is something broken in the official repos..... can someone confirm?
[07:53] <alkisg> rdz: you're giving different package names there
[07:53] <alkisg> apt policy lib-gles1-mesa-dev => doesn't exist
[07:53] <rdz> alkisg, oops...... here the correct paste (i hope): http://paste.ubuntu.com/25863598/
[07:54] <rdz> libgles1-mesa-dev has a hard dependency on version 12.0.6 of libgles1-mesa
[07:54] <rdz> it seems as those two packages don't come from the same source, which i find odd
[07:55] <rdz> currently libgles1-mesa-dev is not installable as far as i can see
[07:57] <alkisg> https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=xenial-updates&keywords=libgles1-mesa indeed lists libgles1-mesa=17.0.7-0ubuntu0.16.04.2 while libgles1-mesa-dev=12.0.6-0ubuntu0.16.04.1
[07:58] <rdz> the version suffix they come from different ubuntu releases: 16.04.1 vs 16.04.2
[07:58] <acosonic> why do I get this characters when I hit enter in console? â€™ via ssh
[07:58] <alkisg> Although I see some "transitional dummy package" there, maybe it's been renamed
[07:58] <rdz> alkisg, which is a dummy transitional package?
[07:58] <alkisg> rdz: https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial-updates/libgles1-mesa
[07:59] <rdz> i see
[07:59] <alkisg> http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/m/mesa/mesa_17.0.7-0ubuntu0.16.04.2/changelog
[07:59] <alkisg> rdz: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/1709823
[08:01] <alkisg> acosonic: maybe you have a modified prompt and you're not using utf8?
[08:01] <rdz> alkisg, thanks a lot for the pointers
[08:01] <alkisg> np
[08:10] <Woodpecker> Ah I made it to shell
[08:11] <Woodpecker> I just had to remove a few things from alkisg command
[08:14] <Woodpecker> Although I seem to be in initramfs
[08:39] <confluency> I am currently running Fluxbox on 17.04. I want to upgrade to 17.10 (do-release-upgrade, not a clean install). Will the switch from default Xorg to default Wayland affect me, or will my default Fluxbox session continue to run on Xorg with no disruptions? I'd like to check this before I try it in case I end up having to fix things on an unusable system.
[08:42] <ducasse> confluency: fluxbox is an x11 wm, it won't magically start running on wayland
[08:42] <confluency> Yes, I understand that.
[08:43] <confluency> I'm asking whether after the upgrade the session will continue working normally with Xorg, or if it will not work at all until I explicitly switch some setting back from Wayland to Xorg.
[08:43] <confluency> I'm asking what my concrete upgrade procedure should be.
[08:44] <ducasse> which ubuntu flavor is this - standard ubuntu desktop?
[08:44] <ducasse> as in, which image did you use to install?
[08:45] <confluency> I originally used the standard image.
[08:46] <confluency> And installed Fluxbox on top of it.
[08:46] <ducasse> ok, then you will gain the ability to run gnome on both x11 and wayland, fluxbox will not be affected at all
[08:47] <ducasse> (given that the unity stuff is still installed now)
[08:48] <confluency> OK, cool. Thanks! I assumed that the manager would be picked per session somehow; I just wasn't sure how that would interact with my customisations.
[08:49] <ducasse> just make sure fluxbox is selected on the login screen, and that's what you'll get
[09:37] <_ppp> Hello,I am currently at the planning phase of my project and would like to study the different options i have to start building my website and its backend.
[09:37] <_ppp> I was thinking if there is an opensource framework i can build upon like wordpress or others that would allow me to create a IT request/response ticketing solution. Mainly customers can login, submit their requests, IT professionals can login takethe request, submit the solution and get paid. The system needs to be flexible where i can change parameters for the request screen, make the request flow from one status to another
[09:37] <_ppp> etc. Is there an existing framework i can build on instead of coding from scratch the whole engine? Your opinion is really valuable to me thank you
[09:38] <diskin> _ppp, check https://www.cio.com.au/article/320110/5_open_source_help_desk_apps_watch/
[09:39] <diskin> I remember OTRS, but it is in the list too
[09:40] <diskin> _ppp, check http://osticket.com/ and https://www.opensupports.com/ too
[09:40] <crogers> Hey folks, anyone else having this problem with nautilus in ubuntu 17.10:
[09:41] <crogers> https://www.dropbox.com/s/pvywye6alea76j4/nautilus_undo_history_bug.movie.mp4?dl=1
[09:42] <crogers> It seems ctrl+z undo tries to undo the last file opperation rather than the last text edit.
[09:43] <crogers> nautilus devs have fixed this behoaviour previously, so it's probably an Ubuntu patch that's causing the problem.
[10:41] <Torm_> 11:38 Torm: Was finally able to reinstall Ubuntu on my laptop after about 10 reinstallations. Thanks For that Ubuntu!
[10:44] <certaindestiny> Hi All, I was here a few days ago. I am having issues with Ubuntu GUI crashing when the network interface is up but no network connectivity can be achieved. I tried updating but this unfortuanetly did not solve the issue. I am running ubuntu 16.04 LTS Kernel 4.10.0-37-generic
[10:46] <diskin> certaindestiny, did you find related errors in /var/log/Xorg.?.log files?
[10:49] <certaindestiny> diskin, i have not looked at Xorg log files and am unable to find them in /var/log. i did look into /var/crash and can see unity-settings-daemon_unity-settings-deamon crashed

[11:49] <blingrang> Hi, I'm trying to log sftp login attempts on my Ubuntu docker container but no luck
[11:49] <limbo_> blingrang: it's in auth.log like any other ssh login.
[11:49] <blingrang> I've installed rsyslog, set sshd log_level to verbose
[11:49] <blingrang> limbo_,  I know, but its empty
[11:50] <blingrang> /var/log/auth.log is completely emtpy.
[11:50] <blingrang> The only odd behaviour I can find is in the syslog "imklog: cannot open kernel log (/proc/kmsg): Operation not permitted."
[11:56] <codepython777> how do i unload and reload the usb module from the kernel on ubuntu? When I do lsmod , I only see usbserial and a bunch of bt* modules
[12:06] <MsK`> hello
[12:06] <MsK`> I'm trying to get audio out of the speakers or headphones of my sony svs13a laptop, soundcard is an intel hda alc275 analog which seems totally unknown from the interweb...
[12:07] <MsK`> I already had the sound working at some point, no idea what got busted and I don't remember how I had fixed it...
[12:07] <MsK`> I think it was something related to the sound being output to hdmi instead of speakers but alsamixer doesn't let me choose any of that
[12:43] <Nani_Oo> Hi, I have exactly the same mp
[12:43] <Nani_Oo> Hi, I have exactly the same problem mentionned here : https://askubuntu.com/questions/787157/black-desktop-background-large-icons-and-missing-ui-components/963238?newreg=c12ddee9f28641de93a271aa0ea6b66f

[13:20] <certaindestiny> Hi all, I am facing an issue with the ubuntu GUI, when network link us up but not connectivity can be made the GUI crashes. No Mouse, lot of errors, checked xorg but errors but now data
[13:20] <certaindestiny> no data*
[13:21] <certaindestiny> when looking in /var/crash i can see unity-settings-deamon crashed

[13:29] <Scoop7> can anyone help me come up with a command to terminate multiple chromium processes from release 4 ?
[13:29] <Scoop7> https://imgur.com/a/SXBGY
[13:30] <akik> Scoop7: pkill kills processes by name
[13:30] <akik> Scoop7: or by regular expression
[13:30] <Scoop7> pkill /var/www/html/releases/4/*  ?
[13:31] <ioria> Nani_Oo,   unity --version
[13:31] <Scoop7> akik
[13:31] <Nani_Oo> @ioria unity 7.4.0
[13:31] <akik> Scoop7: test with pgrep first
[13:32] <ioria> Nani_Oo,   create a new user   adduser  newuser
[13:32] <Scoop7> akik , can you give an example ?:)
[13:33] <xcm> hello everyone. on ubuntu 16.04, should i set AUTOSTART="none" in /etc/default/openvpn if i want to enable/disable/start/stop openvpn@foo instances strictly via systemctl?
[13:33] <akik> Scoop7: pgrep /var/www/html/releases/4/* then see if that process id list matches that which you want to kill
[13:33] <Nani_Oo> @ioria same
[13:34] <Nani_Oo> @ioria I'm not sure it is user related, since the login box shows missing ui as well
[13:34] <Scoop7> akik : pgrep: only one pattern can be provided
[13:35] <ioria> Nani_Oo,   apt-cache policy libgtk-3-common
[13:35] <Nani_Oo> @ioria I have a lot of gtk warking in syslog
[13:35] <akik> Scoop7: i think the / can't be used in the pattern, i'll test
[13:36] <akik> Scoop7: you don't know the name of the process you want to kill? shell is expanding * in that case
[13:36] <Nani_Oo> @ioria https://pastebin.com/Feq0QVe5
[13:36] <ioria> Nani_Oo,   3.20.8-1ubuntu0~ppa1  that is from a ppa
[13:36] <ioria> !info libgtk-3-common xenial
[13:37] <akik> Scoop7: if you want to kill all chromium processes then it would be "pkill chromium"
[13:37] <R_Rios> akik: What's the difference between pkill and killall?
[13:37] <ioria> Nani_Oo,   but which ppa , you know that ?
[13:37] <akik> R_Rios: different command, i don't know the differences
[13:38] <Nani_Oo> @ioria No idea, I gonna search in history
[13:38] <sruli> i made my luks mount from key in boot drive, i added a script to ask for pass if it fails, it seems that both the key and the script have fails, how can i get to a point where luks will ask for passphrase?
[13:38] <Scoop7> akik no
[13:38] <Scoop7> I want to kill chromium processes only from release 4
[13:39] <ioria> Nani_Oo,   from here https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/ubuntu/gnome3-staging/+index?field.series_filter=xenial&batch=75&memo=75&start=75 ?
[13:39] <Nani_Oo> @ioria Certainly gnome3 it get upgraded with apt-get install evolution
[13:39] <Nani_Oo> @ioria yep
[13:39] <ioria> Nani_Oo,   what ever you installed, purge it
[13:40] <Nani_Oo> @ioria Yep thanks, I try this and get back to confirm it worked, thanks
[13:42] <akik> Scoop7: you can use: pgrep -f "/path.*executable.*" to search by path also
[13:42] <akik> Scoop7: and pkill accept that same -f
[13:43] <akik> Scoop7: add -a option to see the process names that pgrep finds
[13:44] <acosonic> certaindestiny: and Apache would be on OSI level 7 - application?
[13:44] <allure> guys, which automated topology/network discovery tool you guys trust?
[13:46] <akik> Scoop7: for example, if you wanted to see all the processes which have systemd in their path, use: pgrep -a -f ".*/systemd/.*"
[13:48] <certaindestiny> acosonic, i recommend you read into the OSI layer. There is some nice documentation out there which explains it all.
[13:49] <acosonic> but I'm right, Apache is 7 :) seems to me
[13:49] <Nani_Oo_> @ioria Thanks it worked
[13:50] <Nani_Oo_> @ioria I will not mess again with GUI packages I think
[13:51] <sruli> i made my luks mount from key in boot drive, i added a script to ask for pass if it fails, it seems that both the key and the script have fails, how can i get to a point where luks will ask for passphrase?
[13:54] <zztopless> grr why is it so easy to access a windows share from ubuntu but such a pain to get two ubuntu based OSs to do the same
[13:55] <zztopless> trying to access a folder shared on a mint-kde vm with a lubuntu vm both on the same lan (same host at the moment)
[14:01] <certaindestiny> I am guessing nobody is able to help with the GUI crashes??
[14:01] <AlexCDev2> Hi
[14:01] <geirha> much easier to use ssh for transfering files between lunixes
[14:02] <AlexCDev2> My laptop is lagging when I use anything from gnome 3
[14:02] <AlexCDev2> hovering over dock icons, looking at my programs list
[14:03] <certaindestiny> AlexCDev2, Does TOP or Iostat indicate some form of heavy load?
[14:06] <AlexCDev2> certaindestiny, System monitor doesn't report any especially high load, checking TOP now
[14:08] <AlexCDev2> default lowest core clock is set to 14%, might that be an issue?
[14:14] <certaindestiny> AlexCDev2, Is there a high amount of disk usage? high io wait?
[14:16] <AlexCDev2> Only 16kbps
[14:16] <AlexCDev2> My laptop's idlin
[14:16] <AlexCDev2> brb restarting
[14:28] <AlexCDev> certaindestiny, increasing the cock speed fixed it
[14:28] <AlexCDev> *clock
[14:28] <AlexCDev> >.>
[14:28] <certaindestiny> AlexCDev, good to hear it is fixed
[14:29] <AlexCDev> opening the show applications menu chugs a bit, but I think that might be just gnome
[14:33] <theseb> why would chromium-browser start on COMMAND LINE but NOT when click desktop shortcut?  How see error msgs of desktop shortcut?
[14:39] <nicomachus> theseb: any chance it's just a delay? I'll get a pretty extended delay opening chromium on occasion.
[14:43] <theseb> nicomachus: well it NEVER finishes...like 10min ago i clicked on the shortcut ! ;)
[14:43] <theseb> nicomachus: but if i just type "chromium-browser" in a terminal it works fine
[14:44] <nicomachus> ah, ok. I'm not sure where you might find a log for that...
[14:44] <nicomachus> dmesg might have something
[14:48] <minimec> theseb: according to the launcher file in /usr/share/applications the software is started with this command... "chromium-browser %U". So maybe try this in the terminal to see if it also prevents the browser from starting. Are you using the 'standard' ubuntu or some special window manager?
[14:49] <Cobrax> How do I install AMDGPU drivers on ubuntu 17.10 ?
[14:49] <theseb> minimec: thanks! i saw that..how mimic %U?
[14:49] <Cobrax> I appear to have some stuttering when I have some popups
[14:49] <Cobrax> I'm on wayland
[14:50] <theseb> Cobrax: no X11? that's awesome!
[14:50] <theseb> Cobrax: so how is that new world? ;)
[14:51] <minimec> theseb: Well... You could just copy/paste the launcher to '.local/share/applications' and remove the '%U' from the 'Exec=' command line. That should do, I think.
[14:52] <AlexCDev> Cobrax, out of interest, when you hover over the dock icons, do you lag?
[14:52] <minimec> theseb: First try to logout/login your user session. The '%U' should not be a problem...
[14:53] <Cobrax> back
[14:53] <Cobrax> AlexCDev, yes, I do
[14:53] <Cobrax> For example, when I'm on the settings/shutdown drop-down on the top right
[14:54] <Cobrax> (having it dropped down)and then I move to the next item that drops down (I have some other GNOME extensions on there) it stutters for a split second
[14:55] <AlexCDev> well I'll be damned
[14:55] <AlexCDev> it's doing it with me too >.>
[14:55] <Cobrax> It might be a driver issue
[14:55] <AlexCDev> I'm on intel tho
[14:55] <AlexCDev> I think it might be a wayland thing?
[14:55] <Cobrax> I'm on AMD RX 580
[14:55] <Cobrax> can't say for sure
[14:56] <Cobrax> also, any idea on how I can increase the size of the icons on the toolbar and increasing the size of the window buttons?
[14:56] <maslo> hi guys if anyone could have a look at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47057680/website-with-sporadic-slowdowns-in-need-of-advices would be appreciated
[14:56] <skinux> What is the keyboard shortcut for restarting DE when/if we need to?
[14:57] <leftyfb> skinux: sudo systemctl restart lightdm
[14:58] <rud0lf> is there a way to tell lightdm the user/password?
[14:58] <leftyfb> rud0lf: huh?
[14:58] <rud0lf> i'd like to be able to unlock my desktop from phone
[14:58] <rud0lf> i mean programatically
[14:59] <Pinkamena_D> Sorry if this is double posted, I think I was disconnected.  I have a delivery controller and VDA installed on the same machine which I can only access via RDP. I want to change this situation to remove the VDA from the DC. I an trying to remove the machine catalog to recreate it, but I can not because 'one session is in use' which is the one I need to access the machine via rdp (end the session, and I am kicked off). How
[14:59] <Pinkamena_D> can I work around this to force-remove the machine catalog?
[14:59] <leftyfb> rud0lf: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/08/use-bluetooth-phone-unlock-ubuntu
[14:59] <skinux> leftyfb: How do I do it by keyboard? There have been times when I haven't been able to go to a terminal.
[14:59] <rud0lf> leftyfb: thanks
[14:59] <theseb> minimec: thanks
[14:59] <AlexCDev> Cobrax, have you tried switching back to xorg?
[14:59] <leftyfb> skinux: if you can't get into terminal, you have bigger issues that need to be addressed
[14:59] <AlexCDev> I just switched, its improved things
[14:59] <skinux> Why was this removed from Ubuntu? At some point CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE did it.
[14:59] <Cobrax> AlexCDev, I haven't
[15:00] <Cobrax> But that would be counter-productive
[15:00] <AlexCDev> in what sense?
[15:00] <skinux> Well, it's when the system starts locking up. I can move the mouse and audio continues to play, but I can't do much of anything. I know from previous experience I can restart the DE to solve it.
[15:00] <leftyfb> skinux: https://medium.com/@foxoman/restart-x-session-using-ctrl-alt-backspace-in-ubuntu-343e037b4658
[15:01] <skinux> Or how about a kb shortcut that gives me a tiny box to type a shell command into?
[15:02] <Cobrax> AlexCDev, I upgraded in order to try it out
[15:02] <leftyfb> skinux: try: CTRL+ALT+F1 (or F2 or F3, etc ... not F7)
[15:02] <AlexCDev> Cobrax, ah, fair enough
[15:03] <Cobrax> AlexCDev, How do I increase the window button sizes?
[15:03] <AlexCDev> Installing drivers will probably help :P
[15:03] <Cobrax> AlexCDev, I thought the drivers are bundled.
[15:04] <AlexCDev> they might be
[15:04] <AlexCDev> I don't actually know though :P
[15:04] <AlexCDev> if they aren't included, installing them will help haha
[15:05] <AlexCDev> I'm not so sure about window buttons though Cobrax
[15:05] <AlexCDev> Someone more experienced will probably know
[15:09] <virtuosoj> Ubuntu 17.10 - just accepted updates & restart from software updater and now my laptop won't recognize external monitor through HDMI.  How can I diagnose this?
[15:10] <Cobrax> virtuosoj, have you tried to make sure the cable is properly connected?
[15:10] <TJ-> virtuosoj: is it using Wayland/Gnome  or Xorg for GUI?
[15:10] <virtuosoj> Cobrax, yes.
[15:10] <Cobrax> open up GNOME Logs
[15:10] <TJ-> virtuosoj: we had the same issue a few days back and it turned out to be an ACPI issue. There's a fix you can try which might save a lot of investigation
[15:11] <virtuosoj> I have tried using both and neither detect monitor now.  Both worked perfectly fine this morning before update/restart
[15:11] <TJ-> virtuosoj: It's so common I've written an article with the fix detailed. See http://iam.tj/prototype/enhancements/Windows-acpi_osi.html
[15:13] <mf131212> Hello, I really need help with my raid plase
[15:14] <virtuosoj> Thanks TJ-, but how is this possibly the issue when it was working fine ??
[15:14] <codepython777> anyone knows how to hardware reset the usb driver on ubuntu?
[15:15] <zztopless> ok, relly need to get a shared folder on mint-kde accessible from lubuntu have tried samba (only works with my windows shares), NFS and sshfs, still no go
[15:16] <mf131212> I accidentally used the dd if=/dev/zero with one of my raid0 HDD. I stopped the command a few seconds after. How to recreate the first part ?
[15:18] <TJ-> virtuosoj: because the newer kernel is stricter in it's implementation of the ACPI interpreter, so bytecode in the system's ACPI DSDT that formerly worked now breaks (you'll problaby find ACPI errors early in the kernel's boot log (dmesg or /var/log/kern.log)
[15:18] <TJ-> virtuosoj: most ACPI DSDT is extremely buggy, but the Linux kernel interpreter  implementation tries to stick strictly to the specification
[15:19] <TJ-> codepython777: there's a 'knob' in the sysfs ( under /sys/bus/usb/) for each controller/port/device that can cause a reset, but I forget which it is now
[15:20] <TJ-> mf131212: You can't. RAID0 has no redundancy.
[15:21] <TJ-> zztopless: I'm surprised you can't get sshfs to work! That's te simplest there is if the target has openssh-server installed!
[15:21] <mf131212> TJ- I'm aware of this but i only deleted a few MB
[15:21] <codepython777> TJ-: it used to be just a modprobe - but it seems usb driver is now in the kernel?
[15:21] <TJ-> mf131212: "only" ... where are you going to find the original data that was zeroed?
[15:21] <Cobrax> Switching back to XORG has fixed my stuttering
[15:22] <TJ-> codepython777: yes, for speed reasons and to ensure even a broken initrd can't prevent USB devices/keyboards working
[15:22] <mf131212> TJ- That'd be great if I can recover the last 1.6GB
[15:23] <TJ-> mf131212: was it the first device in the RAID0 array you targeted? if so, I assume the disk label and partition data may have been destroyed at a minimum
[15:23] <tgm4883> mf131212: there's no restoring it. As TJ said, it's RAID 0 and has no redundancy
[15:24] <mf131212> the zeroed content is lost but I want to get back the rest
[15:24] <tgm4883> mf131212: just resetup the RAID and restore from your backup
[15:24] <Cobrax> How do I increase the size of the window buttons (minimize, maximize, close) in GNOME? I'm on ubuntu 17.10
[15:24] <TJ-> mf131212: if the partitioning is GPT and it is the first disk, you should be able to use "gdisk" to copy the backup PT from the end of the RAID0 to reinstate the primary PT at the start of the array
[15:24] <mf131212> TJ- I don't know it was sda & sdc and I did the mistake with sdc
[15:25] <TJ-> mf131212: Well, it'll depend on the size of the stripes as to whether anything is lost. Use 'gdisk' initially to see if the partition table is still valid
[15:25] <TJ-> mf131212: or 'fdisk' if the disk label was/is MBR, not GPT
[15:26] <mf131212> it was a windows raid0, can I still run fdisk ?
[15:27] <mf131212> TJ-  it was a windows raid0, can I still run fdisk ?
[15:27] <alkisg> zztopless: sshfs user@remote-pc:remote-folder localfolder
[15:27] <TJ-> mf131212: for partitioning, yes
[15:27] <mf131212> OK i'm going to try
[15:28] <TJ-> mf131212: Just don't make any changes, just investigate!
[15:28] <TJ-> mf131212: if you've got a GUI going you can also try "gparted"
[15:28] <TJ-> mf131212: But for detailed work, fdisk/gdisk are preferred since they offer advanced recovery options
[15:36] <sruli> on a vm i want to automount the root luks partition with keyfile, in /etc/cryptab i put /dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxx:/keyfile it works but it takes about 40 seconds, i see "waiting for start job uuid xxxxxx" why is it taking that long, what can i do to make it fast?
[15:36] <brx_> i have a bluetooth speaker. it will connect to my laptop (ubuntu 17.10) but when i use ad3p every 10 seconds it will lag out, the sound becomes inconsistent for a few seconds. after another few seconds the sound rights itself. but it does this behaviour over and over in a loop non stop
[15:36] <brx_> kinda intermittent sound
[15:37] <brx_> i tried to change the audio progile to headphones, and then change back. like everywhere online says. however it will not fix. a few times i've used it and its perfect, but 99% of the time it does this
[15:37] <brx_> anyone got any suggestions?
[15:37] <bcowan> brx_, i had trouble with that until i intalled a low-latency kernel
[15:38] <sruli> brx_: i was never able to get ad2p working properly, same issue with my bt headset.. really want to find a soulution for it
[15:38] <brx_> what about this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/887844/choppy-sound-over-bluetooth-16-04
[15:38] <brx_> says its an rf issue
[15:38] <brx_>  :o
[15:38] <bcowan> don't know if thats the correct "fix", but "works for me!"
[15:38] <brx_> actually, i think mine is intel bluetooth device
[15:39] <brx_> bcowan, you mean at the link i posted?
[15:39] <brx_> i just did a clean install over ubuntu 17.10, and on first load and in the live cd environment, it works perfectly
[15:39] <bcowan> brx_, no, mine worked much better after installing a low latency kernel
[15:39] <brx_> and then i reboot after the first load, and its the same :/
[15:39] <brx_> ahh i see
[15:40] <brx_> maybe thats something i should consider
[15:44] <Cobrax> It's a shame wayland is a bit stuttery
[15:44] <Cobrax> but I'm sure it'll get better once 18.04 rolls in
[15:45] <mf131212_> TJ- Sorry I had to go
[15:45] <mf131212_> I'm gonna try
[15:45] <mf131212_> TJ- what disk do I use with fdisk command ?
[15:47] <mf131212_> TJ- what disk do I use with fdisk command ?
[15:50] <nicomachus> mf131212_: relax. be patient.
[15:50] <mf131212_> Sorry I thought I didn't send the message
[15:52] <mf131212_> TJ- Here's a paste for the two disks http://paste.ubuntu.com/25866150/
[15:52] <TJ-> mf131212_: the first disk in the array.
[15:52] <mf131212_> TJ- Look at the paste, I don't know which one is the first
[15:53] <sruli> on a vm i want to automount the root luks partition with keyfile, in /etc/cryptab i put /dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxx:/keyfile it works but it takes about 40 seconds, i see "waiting for start job uuid xxxxxx" why is it taking that long, what can i do to make it fast?
[15:55] <TJ-> mf131212_: well we certainly don't know. It could be sda, but as you say you overwrote the start of sdc you could have wiped the partition table out. We don't even know what kind of RAID controller/metadata should be there.
[15:55] <TJ-> sruli: hi :) if you're relying on systemd-cryptsetup for key-file access, don't. It doesn't/won't support key-files.
[15:56] <mf131212_> TJ- What is this at line 20 ?
[15:57] <sruli> TJ-: hello, long time. it does work though, it only takes 40 seconds for the start jov to get into the uuid
[15:58] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[15:58] <AlexCDev> Hi BluesKaj
[15:59] <BluesKaj> Hi AlexCDev
[15:59] <AlexCDev> Hi BluesKaj
[15:59] <TJ-> sruli: is it using the original cryptsetup tooling though? that may be why there's a delay
[15:59] <sruli> TJ-: why do you say it wont work? i am getting it to mount after some delay though
[16:00] <sruli> TJ-: how do i verify that?
[16:00] <brx_> i installed the low latency kernal, first time afer reboot it was fine. then reboot again and same problem with the itermmitent bluetooth speaker
[16:01] <TJ-> sruli: because Poettering refuses to add key-file support up to now, wants it done in some way that integrates with the kernel key-ring, but no-one in the systemd dev community is up for writing it. Been dragging on for years.
[16:02] <TJ-> sruli: I ripped out systemd-cryptsetup and its infrastructure and returned to plain and simple cryptsetup
[16:03] <TJ-> sruli: you can use "systemd-analyse blame" and "systemd-analyze critical-chain" to figure out where delays are happening
[16:03] <mf131212_> TJ- How to repair data with fdisk ?
[16:03] <mf131212_> TJ- I mean for this particular case with RAID0
[16:04] <sruli> TJ-: i just run those commands in terminal?
[16:04] <TJ-> mf131212_: It sounds like you're out of your depth. Data recovery is specialised job that requires a lot of experience, and knowledge. Either engage a data-recovery specialist or reinstall from backups
[16:04] <TJ-> sruli: correct
[16:04] <sruli> TJ-: will try now, thanks.. been you missing you
[16:04] <TJ-> sruli: I've been mostly offline the past 2 years building an off-grid house, but more online again now
[16:05] <sruli> TJ-: yes, you mentioned, good to have you back
[16:05] <sruli> TJ-: lets have a catchup in PM when you have time
[16:07] <Cobrax> I find the canonical's fork of dash to dock to be lacking
[16:07] <Cobrax> the original is far superior
[16:07] <codepython777> TJ-: https://askubuntu.com/questions/645/how-do-you-reset-a-usb-device-from-the-command-line - this one needs the device on lsusb - mine does not show up on lsusb - hence the need to hardware reset - still havent figured out how to do this
[16:08] <mf131212_> TJ- Is it so complicated ? I can recover data with easeus what I want is a way to repair the array
[16:08] <mf131212_> Without copying everything into another HDD
[16:15] <Aquza> i have a question. I installed eclipse with sudo apt-get install eclipse. Now i can only open eclipse with sudo that sucks
[16:16] <mf131212_> TJ- If only a little part of the hard drive (~0.1%) has been wiped maybe it is possible to build a raid0 over the old one ?
[16:16] <zztopless> ok, it's 3am and this not getting two nearly-ubuntu OSs can't see each other's shared folders, while they can both access both the shared folder on the windows host, as well as on my laptop
[16:17] <TJ-> codepython777: you need to reset the underlying hub/controller device so it re-enables prots
[16:17] <ducasse> Aquza: that shouldn't be the case, you always need sudo to install with apt-get
[16:17] <Aquza> yes
[16:17] <Aquza> but i have no idea why i have to start with sudo now
[16:17] <Aquza> i did nuffin
[16:17]  * Aquza hopües
[16:17]  * Aquza hopes*
[16:17] <zztopless> tried samba, NFS, SSHFS...  Willing to get FTP a go.  Pity there seems to be no simple, GUI ftp servers for ubuntu :/
[16:18] <EriC^^> Aquza: what happens when you start it without sudo?
[16:18] <zztopless> 3:20am is a gui time of night
[16:18] <TJ-> zztopless: are you using a firewall on the Ubuntu machines?
[16:18] <Cobrax> https://imgur.com/a/DFNNT     ~   what is the original name of this extension before canonical forked it
[16:18] <Aquza> An error has occurred. See the log file
[16:18] <zztopless> pfsense
[16:19] <EriC^^> Aquza: try sudo find ~ ! -user $USER | grep -i eclipse
[16:19] <Cobrax> Aquza, don't install eclipse from the default repo of debian/ubuntu
[16:19] <Cobrax> It is extremely outdated
[16:19] <zztopless> and both the lubuntu vm and mint-kde are running off my main desktop atm - when I sort this out, they get to move into their new homes...
[16:19] <Browser> Hello, I have created a udev rule for a printer but it doesn't work. Could anyone help, please? http://paste.ubuntu.com/25866280/
[16:19] <TJ-> zztopless: the fact you seem to be seeing problems for all methods would suggest there's a wider issue. If you can ssh from 1 Ubuntu machine to the other, then there's no reason sshfs should not work, for example
[16:19] <Aquza> where is the output of that command EriC^^ ?
[16:20] <TJ-> zztopless: aha! VMs? what kind of network config are they on? it sounds like you've got a config where devices on the same hypervisor cannot talk to each other, only to external hosts.
[16:20] <sruli> TJ-: just noticed that job actually fails, so the decrypt must happen before or after it, output of systemd-analyze critical-chain here. https://paste.ubuntu.com/25866294/ not sure what to make of it
[16:21] <EriC^^> Aquza: if it finds anything it should show it
[16:21] <Aquza> no output then
[16:21] <zztopless> TJ, thanks will give that a go... I know doing that test is straight forward, but I honestly haven't used SSH for anything other than connecting to my hosting VPS (centos)
[16:21] <EriC^^> Aquza: try sudo find ~ ! -user $USER
[16:21] <codepython777> TJ-: still cant figure out how to reset the hub controller on ubuntu
[16:22] <mf131212_> TJ-, Well thanks for your help !
[16:22] <Aquza> again no output :(
[16:22] <zztopless> TJ-: Why don't you just pop round to my place and sort it out... how far could it be?
[16:22] <TJ-> sruli: I'd say "sysinit.target @1min 30.157s" (took 30 seconds) suggests an old sysvinit /etc/init.d/ job is taking its time there; could that be the old /etc/init.d/cryptdisks ?
[16:22] <TJ-> zztopless: I refuse to run more than 10km a day :)
[16:22] <zztopless> scrap that, I SSH into pfsense all the time lol
[16:23] <EriC^^> Aquza: do you know where the location of the log file is?
[16:23] <Cobrax> holy shit the default settings are soooo dumbed down
[16:23] <Aquza> ./home/xx/.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_3.8_155965261/configuration/1509553392432.log.
[16:23] <Aquza> i did a cat on it
[16:23] <TJ-> zztopless: I'm assuming the hypervisor isn't using a bridged network, since I'd expect that to work easily. I'd also expect a routed network to work, so I'm therefore going to assume it's some form of NAT-ed network
[16:24] <TJ-> zztopless: what OS/version is the host, and what hypervisor are you using?
[16:24] <nacc> !who | Cobrax: right now your comments are noise.
[16:24] <TJ-> zztopless: can VM1 even ping VM2 ?
[16:24] <zztopless> lol, hyper-visor, I wish - vmware workstation
[16:25] <TJ-> zztopless: that's the hypervisor then, is it on Windows?
[16:25] <zztopless> The ex-gov dell Q2D I got for $20 seems to literally have every driver unsupported when I tried to run VMware closer to the metal option
[16:25] <Aquza> ok maybe its a weird thought but i installed jdk 9 before to use to jshell in /opt/ idk is there maybe a connection EriC^^ ?
[16:26] <TJ-> zztopless: well, as I've said, you should be investigating the network configuration of vmware. It needs bridged or routed I'd think, if you want it to work without too much additional configuration work.
[16:27] <EriC^^> Aquza: no idea
[16:27] <Aquza> hm
[16:27] <Aquza> should i delete eclipse
[16:27] <EriC^^> Aquza: try "whereis eclipse"
[16:27] <Aquza> and then download the tar
[16:27] <EriC^^> did you install it from the repos?
[16:27] <TJ-> Aquza: try starting eclipse from the command-line; see if you get some sensible errors there
[16:28] <Aquza> from site
[16:29] <sruli> TJ-: i don't know its a fresh 16.04 server install
[16:30] <TJ-> sruli: "journalctl -xb" might give some clues
[16:44] <Cobrax> nacc, I don't care what you think.
[16:46] <sruli> TJ-: the fial is at the end of the start job, i'm sure it's already decrypted when it reaches the failing start job, this is what i found in journal regarding the failed start job https://paste.ubuntu.com/25866376/ 1 thing i notice is that it adds ".device" to the keyfile name, not sure if thats normal, but the job fails and the device is decrypted so not sure what this job is
[16:48] <sulfasal> I had clicked on the ok thing in the upgrade drop down and entered my PW, but after only a few seconds a message said "Some files not downloaded. Check your internet connection" Now I did it again(there's a LOT of stuff to upgrade) and it didn't even wait a few seconds, just instantly "some files not downloaded. check internet connection" What's up with that?
[16:49] <nacc> Cobrax: ok, well, thank you for following my request anyways.
[16:49] <sruli> sulfasal: are you using any non ubuntu repos?
[16:51] <sulfasal> pls remind me how to check that
[16:51] <sulfasal> Actually on Xubuntu, is that it?
[16:52] <TJ-> sruli: Look in "ls /var/run/systemd/generator/" you'll likely find a job or sub-dir with the name ...-vkeyfile.device - look at/in it for more info of the exact commands/conditions being executed. These 'generator' jobs are created at startup based on /etc/fstab, etc/crypttab, and so on
[16:52] <sruli> sulfasal: "ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/" what's there
[16:53] <mmkurd> is there a lightweight (cpu-wise) web browser you can recommend? chromium jumps to 30-35% usage in every request
[16:54] <auronandace> mmkurd: it can also depend on the website too
[16:55] <sulfasal> http://paste.ubuntu.com/25866432/
[16:56] <sruli> sulfasal: "sudo apt update" if that passes fine "sudo apt dist-upgrade" see which urls fails
[16:56]  * sulfasal ...goin in
[16:57] <The_Cat> can anyone tell me if the swahili language pack for ubuntu is good?
[17:00] <ioria> The_Cat, superb
[17:03] <sulfasal> sruli: nothing failed. Does that mean problem fixed?
[17:04] <The_Cat> ioria: what are you basing that on?
[17:05] <ioria> The_Cat, Sifahamu
[17:06] <sruli> sulfasal: did the dist-upgrade finish?
[17:06] <sulfasal> yep, no errors
[17:07] <sruli> sulfasal: i guess it means all updated, i think i had a similar issue with gui updater in the last week updated  from terminal without issue
[17:07] <sulfasal> I'm good with that. Thanks!
[17:08] <sruli> TJ-: i found 3 files with it, path and content here https://paste.ubuntu.com/25866498/ is it possible that its trying to mount that uuid while its already mounted (as its the boot partition)
[17:08] <shazbotmcnasty> Good day to you all, I'm setting up a PXE server, I'm having difficulties adding images to the server. I'm trying Hirens 15.2 right now, and the error i'm getting is "Memdisk bootstrap too large" might anyone have had experience with this?
[17:11]  * sulfasal OUTTAHERE!
[17:16] <jer> shazbotmcnasty, that usually means what's written on the tin -- the uncompressed size of your memdisk won't fit in memory with the kernel
[17:16] <jer> (both uncompressed sizes must be < the system memory available)
[17:16] <shazbotmcnasty> it's hirens and the computer has 8GB ram
[17:16] <jer> i can't speak any more to that, i just know what pxe limits are, and that's the requirement
[17:17] <TJ-> sruli: is there a directory for -vkeyfile.device.wants/ ?
[17:17] <shazbotmcnasty> mmmk maybe i should try a different way. I'm going to talk to my old coworker about it now and I'll get back here.
[17:19] <sruli> TJ-: no there isnt
[17:23] <TJ-> sruli: the crux is obviously "Unit dev-disk-by\x2duuid-916216dc\x2db88c\x2d4ec2\x2dbed0\x2dd005d2a6e46a:-vkeyfile.device has failed", so if you can find either a systemd unit file related to it, or logging info for that unit ("journalctl -u Unit dev-disk-by\x2duuid-916216dc\x2db88c\x2d4ec2\x2dbed0\x2dd005d2a6e46a:-vkeyfile.device" maybe?) , there may be clues there
[17:26] <alkisg> shazbotmcnasty: http://erpxe.com/
[17:27] <alkisg> Many images need special preparation, e.g. uncompressing from .iso before putting to the pxe server, so that ^ might help
[17:30] <TJ-> shazbotmcnasty: not sure if this might help guide you, but I wrote up my steps and supporting scripts when I had to do that back in 2010: http://tjworld.net/wiki/Linux/Ubuntu/NetbootPxeLiveCDMultipleReleases
[17:30] <alexas> i have run a program in terminal and it freezes, how could i resume or kill it inside it?
[17:31] <alexas> and how can i find out why it did that?
[17:33] <rfleming> alexas: CTRL-C will kill it, the PAUSE key will pause it, and pressing any key will resume
[17:34] <sruli> TJ-: "journalctl -u Unit dev-disk-by..." returns nothing to test i tried moving the keyfile to another device and changed the uuid in cryptab it now fails on the new uuid, but still decrypts, maybe there is another way to put in in crypttab?
[17:34] <rfleming> alexas: CTRL-Z will move the process to the background and return you to the terminal, and fg will bring your job back to the foreground.
[17:34] <BlitzerHound> So I've been trying to figure out how to install this program but I can't figure it out. It's a .deb file.
[17:34] <TJ-> sruli: I think you've hit one of the systemd-cryptsetup bugs
[17:34] <rfleming> alexas: while in the background your program will still be running.
[17:35] <TJ-> sruli: is the keyfile on a USB device?
[17:35] <BlitzerHound> I tried the thing that the internet told me, which was sudo dpkg -i <program>.deb
[17:35] <alexas> doesn't work
[17:35] <BlitzerHound> But that didn't work.
[17:35] <nacc> BlitzerHound: what happened?
[17:35] <pvl1> quick q, is ifplugd what i should be using for configuring hotplugging ethernet?
[17:35] <alexas> rfleming: it isn't moving to background
[17:35] <nacc> BlitzerHound: what version of ubuntu?
[17:35] <BlitzerHound> I'm not sure
[17:35] <nacc> BlitzerHound: `lsb_release -sd`
[17:35] <BlitzerHound> Ohhh wait I see what happened.
[17:36] <rfleming> alexas: you're talking about a program from the command line, correct?
[17:36] <BlitzerHound> It's the wrong kind of file
[17:36] <BlitzerHound> I need a i386 thing
[17:36] <sruli> TJ-: no, on boot partition... basically its a vm and if i want to start it remotly i just exec a script to mount the qcow2 image cp the keyfile on to it and start vm
[17:36] <alexas> rfleming: yes sir
[17:37] <pvl1> oh nvm i can do this in the interfaces file
[17:37] <sruli> TJ-: the whole idea here is that i need to mostly start this vm remotely and i want it luks'd
[17:37] <alexas> i assume it is dead how could i kill it?
[17:37] <rfleming> alexas: which program is running?
[17:37] <alexas> rfleming: emacs
[17:38] <rfleming> emacs probably overrides the interrupts
[17:39] <rfleming> you'll have to set a key-binding to suspend the frame
[17:39] <sruli> TJ-: i once had a different issue with start jobs, i changed the timeout of systemd to 5 seconds, have to see if i can remember where that config is
[17:39] <toothe> I am running Ubuntu. Whenever I manually set an IP address, it seems to become undone.
[17:39] <toothe> I suspect its some sort of network service that is doing that.
[17:39] <toothe> Is there a way to disable that>>
[17:39] <alexas> rfleming: if i run the second terminal and precc C-z it works, so I assume it isn't interrupting anything
[17:40] <rfleming> toothe: How are you manually setting the IP address?
[17:40] <toothe> ifconfig enp0s3 something/24
[17:40] <rfleming> alexas: emacs has complex keybindings, you'll need to manually create your own.
[17:40] <toothe> is there a way to disable that service?
[17:40] <rfleming> toothe: you need to change it through network manager
[17:41] <rfleming> toothe: what version of Ubuntu?
[17:41] <alexas> rfleming: i am sorry i sense miscommunication, emacs is dead any way i can kill it to restart the process?
[17:41] <toothe> 16.04
[17:41] <toothe> rfleming: do I have to? I'm diong some rapid testing.
[17:41] <toothe> is there a way to...just do ifconfig changes?
[17:41] <rfleming> toothe: Check here: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/network-configuration.html
[17:41] <rfleming> alexas: yes
[17:42] <alexas> rfleming: ok then
[17:42] <alexas> rfleming: thank you
[17:42] <rfleming> toothe: you can either use network manager to make the changes, or you can remove network manager altogether and do it manually.
[17:43] <leftyfb> you should be able to just stop the network-manager service temporarily
[17:43] <sruli> TJ-: changed the timeout to 10seconds i know its a bad work around, but thats all i have for now
[17:43] <leftyfb> you don't need to remove it completely
[17:43] <sruli> TJ-: thanks for your help, if you think of any other ideas lmk
[17:43] <toothe> rfleming: yes. I'd like to disable network manager.
[17:44] <rfleming> toothe: you wish for this to persist over boots correct?
[17:44] <leftyfb> toothe: sudo systemctl stop network-manager
[17:44] <toothe> ahh...
[17:44] <leftyfb> toothe: If you want it disabled for the next reboot: sudo systemctl disable network-manager
[17:44] <toothe> thank you very much.
[17:45] <alexas> how can i find out which pin the process is running under?
[17:45] <rfleming> what impact does that have on services that depend on network at boot?
[17:45] <rfleming> will they not hang?
[17:45] <alexas> PIN*
[17:45] <leftyfb> rfleming: they will fail if there's no network
[17:45] <codepython777> https://www.amazon.com/LETOUR-96V-240V-Converter-500Watt-Lighting/dp/B01HTF1Q06/ - How to become Amazon's "Choice" example? :)
[17:46] <alexas> ok nevermind
[17:46] <codepython777> sorry - wrong room
[17:46] <nacc> codepython777: offtopic.
[17:46] <kostkon> codepython777, kinda
[18:11] <pvl1> ive set allow-hotplug in my interfaces file. but the interface is still trying for dhcp...
[18:11] <pvl1> doesnt seem like hotplugging is very functional
[18:14] <emash_> Hello everyone! Is it possible to manually create a script to wake laptop on lid open
[18:16] <pvl1> emash_: should work out of the box. what version ubuntu
[18:17] <kostkon> emash_, and what desktop environment
[18:23] <alkisg> pvl1: isn't "allow-hotplug" the same as "auto"? Also, isn't /etc/network/interfaces getting deprecated?
[18:24] <pvl1> alkisg:  dont think thats the case on the first part, and i really hope the latter is true
[18:25] <alkisg> pvl1: what are you trying to do?
[18:25] <pvl1> enable hotplugging ethernet, and stop ubuntu from trying to connect ethernet on boot
[18:25] <alkisg> What does "hotplugging" mean?
[18:25] <alkisg> auto means "bring up the interface" automatically, and if it's followed by "dhcp", it does dhcp
[18:26] <pvl1> i might be willing to settle at just turning down the timeout on the configuration, bc honestly 5 minutes to conf ethernet is absurd.
[18:26] <pvl1> and hitplugging instructs the systems to listen for udev events
[18:26] <alkisg> "manual" means "don't do anything automatic, the sysadmin will handle it"
[18:26] <pvl1> and based on that, configure ip addr
[18:26] <pvl1> but thats L3
[18:26] <akik> alkisg: who/what/where deprecate /etc/network/interfaces ?
[18:26] <alkisg> pvl1: I haven't read your story, I don't know about the 5 minutes to conf ethernet
[18:27] <alkisg> akik: systemd-networkd, nm, netplan...
[18:27] <akik> alkisg: i mean has that been discussed somewhere?
[18:27] <pvl1> alkisg: thats the default timeout set on ubuntu
[18:27] <pvl1> akik: mailing lists
[18:27] <shazbotmcnasty> hey guy, I'm setting up a server with apache and for some reason if i ever wget a file from it, that's located in the /var/www/html/* file is downloads a 4.48K file, rather than the actual file
[18:27] <alkisg> akik: afaik newer debian/ubuntu versions no longer ship ifupdown. I have  no link for a blueprint, but there are various talks about it
[18:28] <litheum> what does it mean when MOTD says "12 packages can be updated" but when i do apt-get upgrade it tells me "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 5 not upgraded". ("The following packages have been kept back: linux-azure linux-cloud-tools-azure linux-headers-azure linux-image-azure linux-tools-azure")
[18:28] <pvl1> alkisg: im upgrading as we speak, hopefully thatll resolve itself
[18:28] <akik> ok couldn't find anything
[18:28] <alkisg> pvl1: I haven't understood the problem. I don't have any 5 min delays...
[18:28] <pvl1> litheum: they are held back.
[18:28] <alkisg> litheum: don't use apt-get upgrade, use apt-get dist-upgrade
[18:29] <alkisg> !dist-upgrade
[18:29] <pvl1> alkisg: this is an example https://askubuntu.com/questions/63456/waiting-for-network-configuration-adding-3-to-5-minutes-to-boot-time
[18:29] <litheum> pvl1: so, there are 5 packages held back ... but *12* packages can be updated? what are the other 7? :-o
[18:29] <pvl1> litheum: have you dont apt-get update first
[18:29] <litheum> ok so the others are just dependencies of these 5, i guess that makes some sense
[18:29] <alkisg> litheum: dependencies of those 5
[18:29] <pvl1> also, dist-upgrade, do-release-upgrade
[18:29] <pvl1> why wouldnt apt list the deps as well?
[18:30] <pvl1> shazbotmcnasty: yo guy, we need more detail
[18:30] <shazbotmcnasty> So, for some reason is actually grabbing an html file rather than the file i'm requesting itself
[18:30] <shazbotmcnasty> i renamed it .txt and it's the html file
[18:30] <pvl1> shazbotmcnasty: whats in the html file, is the actual file readable by apache
[18:30] <litheum> if i'm on LTS, should i use do-release-upgrade when setting up a new cloud VM image?
[18:31] <alkisg> pvl1: so you have a server and you want to do dhcp and you don't have a dhcp server so the boot process fails to get an ip and waits?!
[18:31] <pvl1> litheum: i wouldnt.
[18:31] <litheum> pvl1: should i use dist-upgrade when doing that? :-)
[18:32] <pvl1> alkisg: kinda.... i have an ubuntu system that is trying to configure an ip via dhcp with nothing plugged in, or it spends 5 minutes figuring out that it wont work
[18:32] <shazbotmcnasty> pvl1: it's the FOG base html file - yeah it's readable. it's the main page when you go to http://<serverIP>/fog/management
[18:32] <pvl1> why try to configure dhcp when there isnt a wire plugged in?
[18:32] <pvl1> litheum: idk why you need to upgrade....
[18:33] <litheum> pvl1: i'm starting with a base VM image provided by Azure and I want to install our software on it and stick it in the Azure marketplace. i don't want to have our VM image with a ton of old packages that might have security issues, so i figure doing an upgrade before installing our stuff makes sense. why not do it? why keep old packages so the user has to see that there are like 53 updates the very first
[18:33] <litheum> time they deploy this VM?
[18:34] <alkisg> pvl1: for dhcp, you'd better use network-manager, not interfaces... that one doesn't want to get an ip from dhcp on boot
[18:34] <alkisg> *wait
[18:37] <pvl1> litheum: by that logic, why are you using LTS/
[18:38] <pvl1> ugh i dont wanna use NM tho, thats such a convoluded solution
[18:39] <litheum> pvl1: i want to have something stable and supported, but i want to apply the latest security fixes to packages that are installed? this does not sound super controversial ...
[18:39] <pvl1> litheum: id just remove the MOTD
[18:39] <pvl1> litheum: it is
[18:39] <litheum> strange
[18:39] <pvl1> litheum: unless you're going to pay developers to track new code, and patch etc, ur etiher LTS, or self managed
[18:39] <pvl1> or something rolling like arch
[18:39] <litheum> is it occasionally unsafe or unwise to upgrade packages on an LTS system? shouldn't the updates be really well-tested and necessary for security or something?
[18:39] <pvl1> but long term support, usually means, security patches are really wahts released...
[18:40] <pvl1> litheum: exactly
[18:40] <litheum> right. isn't that what i get when i do dist-upgrade on LTS? the security fixes?
[18:40] <pvl1> the lts updates are usually security-related, or triggered
[18:40] <Jordan_U> pvl1: I think you're misunderstanding what litheum wants. They don't want newer major releases of software.
[18:40] <litheum> yes, i think there's some confusion here.
[18:40] <pvl1> would do-release-upgrade and dist-upgrade bring u to a newer major release?
[18:41] <litheum> i dunno what any of this stuff does, that's why i'm relying on you folks to help me :-)
[18:41] <Jordan_U> pvl1: do-release-upgrade would bring them to a newer release, but they don't want a newer release so I don't know why you're mentioning it.
[18:41] <pvl1> i mentioned it, and we're not discussing it. i didnt think its a solution...
[18:42] <pvl1> the real issue was that certain packages are being held back
[18:42] <pvl1> i suppose thats the issue actually
[18:42] <akik> litheum: those azure packages are probably unneeded unless you need a feature that is only provided through them
[18:42] <pvl1> ^ thats the point i was trying to make
[18:43] <litheum> pvl1: ok, so you would suggest that i just do "upgrade" instead of "dist-upgrade"?
[18:43] <Jordan_U> pvl1: systemd-networkd is probably the way to go for you. network-manager is definitely not what I'd go with for a server.
[18:44] <pvl1> Jordan_U:  what do the newer ubuntus default to?
[18:45] <Jordan_U> pvl1: Do you know that "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" does not, in and of itself, upgrade you to a new release of Ubuntu?
[18:45] <pvl1> i did not
[18:45] <pvl1> in fact, im not sure what dist-upgrade does at all apparently
[18:46] <chalk46> it's for upgrading your dist
[18:46] <pvl1> i wonder if canonical is bitter about systemd. didnt canonical help make upstart?
[18:46] <Jordan_U> pvl1: "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" upgrades packages allowing for some packages to be removed or new packages added if needed. "sudo apt-get upgrade" will never add or remove packages, only upgrade them.
[18:47] <pvl1> aah
[18:47] <Neepu> Hi. I recently installed Ubuntu 17.10 alongside my Windows 10 installation. During the installation i got suggested to create two partitions, one for the OS, and one for "Files". However, the Files partition is not even mounted, and when mounted it just points me to the root directory. How can i figure out the contents of that particular partition?
[18:47] <pvl1> Jordan_U: thank you for that clarity
[18:47] <Jordan_U> pvl1: You're welcome.
[18:47] <chalk46> I think dist-upgrade is for when something new goes stable, or if you're switching to testing or something like that
[18:48] <Jordan_U> Neepu: Please pastebin the output of "mount", "sudo blkid", and the contents of /etc/fstab .
[18:48] <tgm4883> chalk46: it's what Jordan_U said
[18:49] <litheum> Jordan_U: thanks for jumping in and helping us stop talking past each other! i think you've helped me clarify what i ought to do. many thanks!
[18:50] <bcowan> anyone else have a problem in 17.10 where if you put any icons on the desktop that they start placing under the dock?
[18:51] <Jordan_U> litheum: You're welcome :)
[19:01] <pvl1> ugh looks like i have to switch to systemd-networkd
[19:01] <ntd> anyone tried amdgpu-pro 17.40 on xenial?
[19:01] <pvl1> how do i disable ubuntu's native network management?
[19:02] <ntd> segfaulting here. clean snapshot+install 17.30 works fine
[19:05] <mmkurd> pvl1, the default is systemd networkd on a minimal install
[19:06] <mmkurd> but if you are talking about ubuntu-desktop, then i believe it'd be networkmanager
[19:07] <akik> mmkurd: how do you configure systemd-networkd?
[19:08] <mmkurd> akik: man systemd-networkd
[19:08] <pvl1> weird, something enabled  ifup@interface
[19:09] <Jordan_U> pvl1: Did you manually add an entry to /etc/network/interfaces ?
[19:11] <Loshki> I've found networkmanager to be laggy and buggy in most of its incarnations
[19:13] <pvl1> Jordan_U: i must have, or i mustve enabled that service by hand
[19:14] <pvl1> Jordan_U: in particular, im trying to enable hotplugging ethernet
[19:15] <Jordan_U> pvl1: Hotplugging ethernet should just work on Ubuntu server by default, as far as I know.
[19:16] <pvl1> Jordan_U: is that to say that I should leave the interace as auto?
[19:17] <pvl1> isntead of alllow-hotplug
[19:20] <mf131212> TJ- Are you here ?
[19:26] <Simonious> favorite lightweight serial stream viewer from command line, more or less VT100, go.
[19:27] <mf131212> TJ- With a recovery software I can see the files name and folder names so my partitioning table isn't destroyed ?
[19:28] <Jordan_U> pvl1: allow-hotplug appears to be the right setting if you're using ifupdown, but I would expect (I haven't confirmed this) there to be no entry for ethernet in /etc/network/interfaces by default on Ubuntu server. That's why I asked if you created that entry.
[19:28] <akik> Simonious: screen
[19:28] <akik> Simonious: i think polls are not liked here
[19:28]  * Simonious shrugs
[19:28] <Simonious> don't think of it as a poll
[19:29] <Simonious> reword it in your head if you need to
[19:29] <akik> Simonious: you don't, i think it is :)
[19:29] <leftyfb> Simonious: screen, byobu, minicom. Take your pick. Try them out and pick the one that best suits your needs.
[19:30] <Neepu> Hi. I recently installed Ubuntu 17.10 alongside my Windows 10 installation. During the installation i got suggested to create two partitions, one for the OS, and one for "Files". However, the Files partition is not even mounted, and when mounted it just points me to the root directory. How can i figure out the contents of that particular partition?
[19:30] <Simonious> in that case, I'll probably stick with screen, thank you.
[19:30] <Neepu> pastebin of mount, sudo blkid and /etc/fstab
[19:30] <Neepu> https://pastebin.com/nADnLRKJ
[19:30] <pvl1> Jordan_U: i will try to remove it. i probably added it by hand
[19:33] <Jordan_U> Neepu: Who/what suggested that you create a separate partition for "files"?
[19:33] <Neepu> the installer
[19:34] <Jordan_U> Neepu: I've never seen Ubuntu's installer make such a suggestion. Were you using manual partitioning? (The "something else..." option)
[19:35] <Neepu> nope, i used the "install besides windows 10" option
[19:35] <Neepu> which is above the erase disk option
[19:35] <Neepu> install beside* option
[19:36] <Jordan_U> Neepu: Odd. Did you already have an existing Linux installation before starting the Ubuntu intaller?
[19:36] <Neepu> nope
[19:36] <Neepu> df on the device gives the following:
[19:36] <Neepu> Filesystem     1K-blocks  Used Available Use% Mounted on udev             8135252     0   8135252   0% /dev
[19:36] <Jordan_U> Neepu: OK. I would not have recommended creating such a separate partition, and it's probably completely empty right now.
[19:36] <ShutterBC> Do we have a screenshot of this, Neepu?
[19:36] <Neepu> Didn't get a screenshot during the installation
[19:38] <Jordan_U> Neepu: I'm tempted to have you just delete the two Ubuntu partitions with GParted and re-run the installer, where you can then take a screenshot for us (and choose not to create the separate partition).
[19:39] <Neepu> hm, maybe I will. anyway this is strange aswell: https://imgur.com/a/6jMpb
[19:39] <Neepu> disks says its not mounted
[19:39] <Neepu> df /dev/sdb5 mentions the directory /dev
[19:39] <Jordan_U> Neepu: Running "sudo mount /dev/sdb5 /mnt/" will mount that partition to /mnt/. Running "sudo find /mnt/" will list all files in that partition.
[19:40] <ShutterBC> yeah, or... actually how about pasting entire "df" output
[19:40] <Neepu> running df, and it won't even mention /dev/sdb5 as a filesystem
[19:41] <Neepu> instead it mentions that udev is mounted on /dev
[19:41] <Jordan_U> Neepu: That's expected as /dev/ is a tmpfs filestem for use by udev.
[19:41] <Jordan_U> Neepu: df only lists mounted filesystems. sdb5 is not currently mounted.
[19:42] <ShutterBC> yeah that looks like it's not mounted to me, check /etc/fstab
[19:42] <Neepu> btw, if it of interest
[19:42] <Neepu> during the installation, it said it was required to have 5GB for the "Files" Directory
[19:43] <ShutterBC> anyway you've got a 20gb partition that's probably not too useful if you are only running one instance of linux
[19:43] <ShutterBC> I haven't done an ubuntu / windows installation in a while, but the only reason I'd have a separate partition for data storage is if I want to share it between the two OSes
[19:44] <Neepu> I'll come back soon, will see if i can trick the installer to show me the partitioning options again
[19:44] <Neepu> without removing my installation..
[19:46] <saivert> so is QXL graphics dead? switched to virtio-gpu for my Ubuntu 17.10 guest which appears to work better but I still had QEMU crash with that a couple of times.
[19:47] <saivert> reading bug reports tells me QXL driver contained a pretty gross hack to make things work under wayland.
[19:57] <ShutterBC> saivert: so are you trying to use qemu inside a guest vm?
[19:58] <saivert> no
[20:12] <sruli> TJ-: you know a solution to fall back to ask passphrase if keyfile is not there? all the solutions i found online use plymoth, this is a server with no gui
[20:13] <R13ose> 3/4 of my screen is white and using kde, how do I fix this?
[20:14] <Seveas> w
[20:24] <lyze> Hello! I've created a custom script for opening links in programs. Now I've created a desktop file for that script ( https://paste.ubuntu.com/25867785/ into ~/.share/local/applications/owlWeb.desktop) and set it as web browser via "xdg-settings set default-web-browser owlWeb.desktop". Some applications pass an argument to the script and others don't when I click on a link. Did I do something wrong?
[20:25] <lyze> Running on a slim ubuntu mini installation. so no normal "ubuntu gui tools" available
[20:27] <R13ose> Any help on my question?
[20:28] <Seveas> lyze: seems perfectly reasonable to me. Wild guess: do the others pass anything on stdin or via the environment?
[20:28] <Seveas> R13ose: given that it's kde, maybe #kubuntu can offer some assitance if nobody here knows
[20:29] <R13ose> Ok
[20:29] <R13ose> Why is gnome default?
[20:30] <Seveas> for kubuntu, kde is default. There are other flavours with other defaults as well
[20:33] <lyze> Seveas, nope. didn't get anything from stdin and no environment variables.
[20:33] <rocketeer> I have arguably the strangest bug ever encountered - my laptop's keyboard disables itself if the base of the laptop is not tilted forward
[20:34] <leftyfb> rocketeer: that's a hardware problem
[20:34] <rocketeer> This doesn't happen under windows, and it didn't happen before I upgraded to 16.04
[20:35] <rocketeer> The laptop has also had its motherboard and keyboard replaced for a different issue and the issue was there both before and after this replacement
[20:35] <McErroneous> Hi, i am trying to download from old-releases.ubuntu.com but downloads for Ubuntu 8.10 are slow as 10KB/s.... where as 9.04 is good speed.
[20:36] <Seveas> McErroneous: it's a sign that you should stick with modern versions :-)
[20:36] <leftyfb> McErroneous: anything in old-releases is unsupported here
[20:37] <Seveas> McErroneous: also, unsollicited PM's, especially when they just contain the phrase 'fuck off' are entirely unwelcome here
[20:37] <leftyfb> McErroneous: swearing in pm at those that answer your question is not supported here
[20:37] <Seveas> heh
[20:38] <McErroneous> I hate Ubuntu.... shit...
[20:38] <ioria> hate is not supported here
[20:38] <nacc> McErroneous: what dooes using a release from a decade ago have to do with Ubuntu?
[20:39] <rocketeer> Even more interesting is that it's intermittent - after some reboots the keyboard stays up, but after waking from suspend it's guaranteed to enable/disable based on the accelerometer
[20:40] <rocketeer> I have no idea how to even start troubleshooting that besides clean installing 16.04
[20:40] <R13ose> No help in kubuntu
[20:41] <ioria> rocketeer, i guess some touchpad issue ... ?
[20:41] <Seveas> R13ose: that's a shame. Maybe try the forums?
[20:41] <R13ose> Not here?
[20:42] <rocketeer> ioria, I'm not sure how they're related besides both being input devices, especially since the trackpad works in any device orientation
[20:42] <ioria> rocketeer, it's the only sensible part
[20:42] <Seveas> R13ose: you can retry here as well of course, I was just trying to give you options in case nobody here answers :) I certainly can't answer your actual question, as I don't use KDE.
[20:43] <rocketeer> The touchscreen interestingly is the part behaving most sensibly - if I set the trackpad to "tap to click" it clicks forever and always
[20:44] <rocketeer> ACPI be a mess methinks
[20:45] <Seveas> rocketeer: anything remotely useful in dmesg or journalctl?
[20:46] <rocketeer> atkbd serio0: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0xd8 on isa0060/serio0). [ 4845.808327] atkbd serio0: Use 'setkeycodes e058 <keycode>' to make it known. [ 4845.810006] thinkpad_acpi: unknown possible thermal alarm or keyboard event received [ 4845.810011] thinkpad_acpi: unhandled HKEY event 0x60c0
[20:46] <rocketeer> these are the only relevant lines in dmesg
[20:47] <rocketeer> which to me translates as ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[20:49] <Seveas> that's kinda what it says too
[20:49] <Seveas> "Help, I don't know what to do with this signal I am getting from an input device"
[20:50] <freakyy> hi all im having a problem with filezilla and ubuntu 17.10 ... the menu backgroun is bright gray, and the font is just a little bit darker. is there any way i can fix that i can almost not read.
[20:50] <rocketeer> Only thing I can think is that it's a tablet mode issue, but it doesn't happen when the screen is folded into tablet mode, just when the base is angled wrong
[20:50] <Seveas> how new is the laptop, and which ubuntu release are you trying?
[20:50] <ioria> blacklist
[20:50] <rocketeer> Seveas: It's about three years old, a Lenovo Thinkpad S1 Yoga (gotta love corporate naming schemes), and I'm running 16.04
[20:51] <rocketeer> Issue began when I upgraded to 16.04
[20:51] <freakyy> i would upgrade to 17.10 ;D
[20:51] <Seveas> I would too, this is the kind of issue that newer kernels tend to fix
[20:53] <Seveas> I almost bought a yoga last week, but I wanted a bigger screen, so went for an ideapad :)
[20:53] <rocketeer> Not a huge fan of Gnome3, and I was planning to hold off till the bugs were ironed out with the next lts
[20:53] <rocketeer> I've had nothing but trouble with the thinkpad both hardware and software wise
[20:54] <rocketeer> The mobo was replaced under warranty twice, and the fans, keyboard, trackpad, case, and screen housing have all failed on me at one time or another
[20:54] <ioria> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1644670
[20:56] <rocketeer> ioria: I've seen this bug, but that's when the laptop is put into tablet mode with the lid all the way backward. This seems to be the same acpi event coming from an orientation sensor/gyro
[20:56] <rocketeer> there's a switch in the hinge, and that should be giving this event
[20:56] <ioria> ok
[20:56] <sruli> "sudo adduser --encrypt-home user" doesnt ask for pass and stuck on Setting up encryption ..., whats wrong
[20:57] <rocketeer> disabling the keyboard would be the expected behavior if this were triggered by the hinge, so it's a slightly different issue
[20:59] <mrjerome> I'm trying to install node from source which i've done many times but now after ./configure when I try `make install` i get 'make: 'install' is up to date' and it doesn't work wtf ?
[21:01] <Anticom> Hi all. I've installed virt-manager recently and i was wondering how i can only show guest application windows in my host instead of the full desktop
[21:01] <Scoop7> Hey, ------>          /dev/null 2>&1 &                             <--- this redirects the output to the black whole right  ?
[21:02] <mrjerome> the 'ol bitbucket
[21:02] <alkisg> Scoop7: not with that syntax, no
[21:02] <alkisg> command >/dev/null 2>&1 ==> yes
[21:03] <alkisg> (you forgot the >)
[21:03] <alkisg> The last & means "run in the background)
[21:03] <Scoop7> stdout_logfile=/dev/null 2>&1 &          <-- how then ?
[21:03] <alkisg> That's the whole line?
[21:04] <Scoop7> yeah I am configuring a supervisor conf file
[21:04] <Scoop7> and don't want to log the output
[21:04] <nacc> Scoop7: it helps to show an actual command and actual output, and what you expect to happen
[21:04] <nacc> in general, "stdout_logfile=/dev/null" means nothing.
[21:04] <Scoop7> so I need nothing
[21:04] <Scoop7> nothing fancy here
[21:05] <nacc> Scoop7: what?
[21:05] <nacc> Scoop7: i mean, it has no meaning.
[21:05] <Scoop7> so I think that would do nacc
[21:05] <Scoop7> thanks
[21:05] <nacc> Scoop7: what would do? I didn't give you any suggestion.
[21:05] <rocketeer> Scoop7: Are you trying to pipe output to /dev/null?
[21:06] <Scoop7> yes
[21:06] <Scoop7> send the output to hell
[21:06] <Scoop7> don't need it
[21:06] <Scoop7> you guys got me confused... :/
[21:07] <rocketeer> you want "./script.sh > /dev/null 2>&1"
[21:07] <Scoop7> so just use  > /dev/null 2>&1 ?
[21:07] <Scoop7> ok great
[21:09] <qz1> How to remove wine ? I installed it by apt-get install, after apt-get remove I get: 'Virtual packages like 'wine' can't be removed'
[21:10] <rocketeer> Scoop: it's possible we don't understand supervisor conf files - looking at a sample conf file you may be able to just use "logfile=/dev/null" without piping
[21:11] <rocketeer> in general if you have a command that has some output, adding a pipe ">" will make the output go there instead of output
[21:12] <rocketeer> eg echo " 'hello world' > /dev/null " instead of printing hello world will instead send it to hell
[21:13] <nacc> rocketeer: that's not a pipe, it's a file handle redirection
[21:13] <nacc> (for correctness)
[21:13] <nacc> Scoop7: see `man bash`, redirection section
[21:23] <ahjohannessen> When can expect to see zfs 0.7.3+ in Ubuntu?
[21:33] <freakyy> nm i fixed it by changing my gtk theme to numix ;D
[21:33] <freakyy> anything bad/good about numix theme?
[21:39] <ash_workz> someone help me understand this; I attempted to mirror a server with docker; I grep'ed the apache packages and installed all the ones that have `ii`; then apache barked at me saying it's missing a mod, so I did a2dismod on the server to see `proxy` is there, but `dpkg -l | grep proxy` only shows `rc libapache2-mod-proxy-html` ... and rc means that's been removed right?
[21:43] <ash_workz> I'm an idiot
[21:43] <jmg8766> I have 2 monitors connected via vga and when I plug a third one in via hdmi to vga adapter, they all shut off. Is it possible to run 3 monitors in 16.04?
[21:44] <jmg8766> i've also tried one through hdmi and one through vga and that is also broken
[21:52] <sruli> i want to understand how pam mounts ecryptfs when logging in over ssh with key, can someone point me where to read?
[21:56] <sruli> ooops, it didn umount
[21:56] <sulfasal> $ sensors reports a CPU Core 0 temperature of 18.0C. That's just the ambient temp? Can it be that cool?
[21:57] <sruli> sulfasal: how cold is the room its in? how long is the system running?
[21:58] <sulfasal> Ambient ~18C, Been running for days.
[21:59] <sruli> sulfasal: the room is 18 and cpu is 18?
[21:59] <sulfasal> that's about the size of it. If anything the room is warmer!
[22:00] <sulfasal> Not only that but I recently removed the heat sink and blew out the dust. Didn't bother to put more of that silver goop on it!
[22:01] <sulfasal> *Didn't EVEN bother
[22:01] <sruli> sulfasal: maybe something wring with sensor or config.... mine is running at 29 room must be no more than 17
[22:01] <nshirelaptop> do caps matter for linux usernames
[22:01] <nshirelaptop> I forgot my username that I made 5min ago
[22:01] <sruli> nshirelaptop: yes all in linux is case sensetive
[22:02] <nshirelaptop> im gonna call that an epic fail on my part
[22:03] <nshirelaptop> /home/ isn't encrypted, would it be possible to change my pw from a livecd?
[22:03] <sruli> nshirelaptop: no live cd needed
[22:04] <sruli> nshirelaptop: you know the username?
[22:04] <nshirelaptop> I know the pw not the username lol
[22:04] <sruli> i guess you are not logged in now?
[22:04] <nshirelaptop> correct
[22:05]  * archpc writes Ubuntu 17.10 to a usb
[22:05] <nshirelaptop> latest ubuntu ISO is finished downloading so I'm going to delete this vm and pretend it never happened
[22:06] <sruli> ok, simplest way would be to boot into recovery and just "ls /home/" to see the users, if you cant get to grub recovery then yes use a live cd, mount the partition and check the for the name in /home/
[22:07] <nshirelaptop> I'm going to save that as a notepad doc and stick it on my desktop. this isn't the first time I've forgotten my linux passwords.
[22:07] <sruli> nshirelaptop: much faster to just check whats in /home/
[22:07] <nshirelaptop> im going to try that for future reference
[22:08] <nacc> sruli: nshirelaptop: /etc/passwd is the canonical locatio to check for defined users
[22:08] <nshirelaptop> are they stored in plaintext?
[22:08] <sruli> nshirelaptop: no, only usernames there
[22:09] <nacc> nshirelaptop: in /etc/passwd, yes
[22:09] <sruli> nacc: nshirelaptop: /etc/passwd is the proper place to look, but all system users are there too, much simler to check /home/
[22:10] <sulfasal> Last time I dual-booted was in XP time when I had to edit Grub1. Is it easier now?
[22:10] <sruli> sulfasal: i take it the root partition is not encrypted?
[22:10] <sulfasal> No idea :(
[22:10] <sulfasal> prolly not
[22:11] <sulfasal> Oh, but this is the latest 'Buntu
[22:11] <sulfasal> Xubuntu that is
[22:11] <sruli> when you turn on the pc do you need to enter a password immediately or only when u get to ur user account login?
[22:12] <sruli> sulfasal: if its not encrypted its a piece of cake
[22:14] <sulfasal> Cake huh? I'm getting another SSD drive for Win10. Does Windows still have to be numero uno. The first drive bootup sees?
[22:15] <sruli> sulfasal: no, but never dual booted with 2 drives, i beleive it should be the same
[22:15] <sulfasal> What do I tell grub2?
[22:17] <sulfasal> grub-update ??
[22:17] <sruli> sulfasal: i am not sure of the exact procedure when installing win after linux, but once booted in linux "sudo os-prober" will tell you the other OS is sees, if it sees it just "sudo update-grub should do the trick, however you will have to turn off fast-boot in win
[22:18] <sulfasal> OK, thanks. That's a start. It won't be for a couple weeks.
[22:21] <vimart> Hi
[22:24] <nshirelaptop> sruli, yes, I had it prompt for PW
[22:24] <ash_workz> can you add a new user to a new group using adduser ?
[22:24] <sruli> nshirelaptop: ??
[22:24] <sruli> ash_workz: you mean create a user and group at the same time?
[22:25] <nshirelaptop> nvm wrong conversation "<sruli> when you turn on the pc do you need to enter a password immediately or only when u get to ur user account login?"
[22:26] <nshirelaptop> also booted up my liveISO and found the username.
[22:26] <sruli> nshirelaptop: easy
[22:26] <sruli> ash_workz: or do you mean add the user to an existing group while creating it?
[22:28] <ash_workz> sruli: the former
[22:28] <ash_workz> sruli: in fact
[22:28] <ash_workz> sruli: ideally, user foo would be added to group foo and group bar
[22:28] <ash_workz> (where neither foo nor bar exist)
[22:29] <ash_workz> I mean, it's not like it's terribly troublesome to split it into 2 commands, I just thought that adduser just came with such nick-nacks
[22:30] <ash_workz> s/just came/came/
[22:30] <sruli> ash_workz: i guess you'll have to issue separate commands
[22:30] <ash_workz> wow, I finally found a real utility for using s/ instead of * + or -
[22:30] <ash_workz> (on irc)
[22:31] <ash_workz> sruli: okie dokie... but can I adduser to it's own group *and* an existing group, or 3 commands now?
[22:31] <sruli> ash_workz: is it a one off or are u scripting it?
[22:31] <ash_workz> sruli: it's going into a docker image
[22:32] <ash_workz> sruli: an poorly designed, overly complicated docker image
[22:32] <ash_workz> a*
[22:33] <sruli> ash_workz: will give you a pointer but take it from there...
[22:35] <sruli> 1. cp /etc/adduser.conf /tmp/ . 2. sed -i "s/#EXTRA_GROUPS=.*/EXTRA_GROUPS="$<group_name>"/; s/#ADD_EXTRA_GROUPS=1/ADD_EXTRA_GROUPS=1/' /tmp/adduser.conf 3. adduser --conf /tmp/adduser.conf $user_name
[22:35] <sruli> ash_workz: oops typo,  at the end of sed command change ' to"
[22:38] <ash_workz> sruli: erm... is that really necessary? can't this be accomplished in 3 add{user/group} commands?
[22:39] <jeffree> what is the switch supposed to do at PCI ethernet connected > wired settings > ethernet adapter > gear icon > IPv6 > IPv6 switch turned off ?
[22:39] <pvl1> i seem to now have an issue where systemd-networkd renames a device, while or after wpa_supplicant.service is coming up, and as such, wpa_supplicant doesnt see the wireless nic.
[22:39] <sruli> ash_workz: i dont know of other way to add user to group at time of creating user, thats not to say there is no way
[22:39] <pvl1> should i be running wpa_supplicant with an interface at all?
[22:40] <sruli> jeffree: i guess that if ipv6 is available on the network if it should use ipv6
[22:41] <ash_workz> sruli: I mean, what's wrong with just `adduser --{flags} foo; addgroup bar; adduser foo bar` ?
[22:41] <ash_workz> sruli: (since I have to break this into 3 steps anyway)
[22:42] <sruli> ash_workz: yes, thats ideal, that happens after the user is created, you wanted WHILE the user is created
[22:42] <jeffree> sruli: I would think so too, but turning it off does nothing. That NIC continues to use both IPv4 and IPv6, even after a reboot.
[22:42] <jeffree> and IPv6 does not work right for some reason, it frequently loses connection.
[22:43] <sruli> jeffree: never used ipv6, dont know
[22:45] <jeffree> sad, very sad
[22:47] <ash_workz> sruli: thank you :)
[23:03] <konrados> Hi! I started sudo updatedb; and it takes forever, I don't have time for this now, is ctrl+c safe in this situation?
[23:04] <konrados> this is the "gentle" "please stop it" command sent to the program, right?
[23:05] <konrados> by "safe" I mean it won't corrupt file db file, right?
[23:16] <energizer> I want the program `pdflatex`. Looks like it's included in apt's `texlive-latex-base`, but that's 180MB. How can I find out if there's any less fat way to get `pdflatex`?
[23:16] <nacc> konrados: i don't thinnk you generally can be sure of state when you ctrl+c something
[23:16] <nacc> konrados: that's not 'gentle'
[23:17] <konrados> nacc, ohh, ok, then I'll have to wait then :P Thanks!
[23:17] <nacc> konrados: also updatedb tends to be in uninterruptible sleep on IO
[23:17] <nacc> konrados: so you can't always ctrl+c it
[23:20] <konrados> nacc, ok, got it, thanks!
[23:21] <Jordan_U> energizer: Adding "--no-install-recommends" might help a little, but latex is simply big.
[23:22] <archpc> is the standard encryption with LVM in ubuntu alright compared to bitlocker
[23:24] <konrados> I've just installed teamviewer, from a .deb package, but I can't find it? Locate 'teamviewer' brings nothing, nothing in the start menu... how do I know what I've just done?
[23:24] <nacc> konrados: `dpkg -L teamviewer` ?
[23:25] <pngl> I just installed Ubuntu from a live USB on a machine with Windows 10. After reboot, it goes straight to Windows 10 and I get no boot option whatsoever! During the installation, I selected "Install Ubuntu along other OS"
[23:26] <konrados> nacc, 'dpkg-query: package 'teamviewer' is not installed' but... I really did it... o_O A popup has shown up that I need to restart pc... do  really have to?
[23:27] <nacc> konrados: what was the comman d you used to install?
[23:28] <konrados> nacc, I clicked it :P And this software manager appeared or something. And it got installed... hmmm, btw, I don't remember a message like 'ok, installed'. It just closed. I think I'll try again and this time I'll watch it.
[23:29] <Bashing-om> pngl: Did you also install ubuntu in EFI mode to match Windows booting method ?
[23:33] <konrados> nacc, thanks again - I clicked again, installed it again and now it seems to be there:P
[23:34] <kostkon> konrados, click it until it installs.. the Ubuntu/gnome software way
[23:35] <nacc> konrados: it's possible that the first time, it got cancelled? that's rather surprisig
[23:38] <konrados> kostkon, yes, I did it and it installed
[23:39] <lol-md5> when you guys use SSH with a private key that has a password set, does it ask for the password over a GUI dialog?
[23:39] <lol-md5> if so, do you know how to disable it?
[23:39] <konrados> nacc, no, I saw "installing dependencies" message and got back to another window, putting that below the others and then I didn't see it anymore
[23:39] <nacc> konrados: strannge
[23:41] <Psil0Cybin> lol-md5: it should not
[23:41] <Psil0Cybin> lol-md5: for me it asks for it via Terminal....
[23:41] <Psil0Cybin> what are you using for SSH?
[23:52] <theelous3> hi there.
[23:53] <theelous3> Does anyone know if there are issues with xmonad on 17.10?
[23:53] <theelous3> both xorg and xmonad sessions insta freeze on login
[23:53] <lol-md5> Psil0Cybin: turns out it's an xubuntu thing. i found the soln in #xubuntu
[23:53] <sruli> whats the best way to mount a remote dir? sshfs is not good as i need to copy files to local dir which requires sudo
[23:54] <archpc> question, what .efi file to I mark as bootable?
[23:54] <Ben64> sruli: rsync?
[23:54] <Psil0Cybin> lol-md5: who knew i dunno i personally love xubuntu <3
[23:54] <Psil0Cybin> but i wonder what GUI you where using
[23:54] <pngl> Hi, I'm trying to install Ubuntu from a live USB but the installation loops with these messages: https://pastebin.com/ewXnpp8t
[23:55] <pngl> I'm installing 17.10 and I have a GTX 960
[23:55] <sruli> Ben64: i can mount a dir with rsync?
[23:55] <archpc> there's HDD0/BOOT and HDD0/ubuntu
[23:57] <lol-md5> it's gnome-keyring
[23:58] <sruli> Ben64: i remember now we had a conversation last week about rsync from different dirs to different dirs.. didnt want to use rsync over ssh as would need to enter pass too many times and didnt want to use ssh key file as its not my machine... in the end i settled for sshfs, where i add the pub key on my machine just for the connection and then disable it.. have been messing around with sshfs and sudo for a few days.. now back the your original idea! rsunc with s
