=== StatutoryApe is now known as LabMonkey [01:10] euxneks: if it's not to late, and not knowing how many users are on your "mint" system, you might want to keep a copy of the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files to make sure your users get back the same "uid" and "gid" numbers.

Upgrade 16.04 to 17.04 and have the no mouse keyboard issue. Trying to fix that and I have a DNS issue. Trying to enable networking in recovery tells me cannot find resolved.conf and even manually creating it didn't seem to work. Can ping my router and google.dns 8.8.8.8 but can't get this thing resolving names. Any advice? [02:09] *resolv.conf damn android autocorrect [02:10] Sorry, also 16.10 to 17.04. can't blame autocorrect for that [02:20] Snowie: Maybe: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2358660 . [02:21] Thanks, will take a look [02:22] Is there a way to reconfigure input devices on 17.10 (wayland)? I'm using x11 right now and I have a config that treats my touchscreen digitizer as a wacom pen, which I then change the writing behavior of to fix some issues I've been having with my pen. The pen works fine in x11 but I want to be able to use wayland instead, namely for DPI scaling === bazhang__ is now known as bazhang [02:29] Methods 1 and 2 no joy. Can't do 3 as need GUI and have no keyboard or mouse there. Recovery mode when choosing enable networking gives error grep: /etc/resolved.conf: no such file or directory [02:30] At that point I can ping gateway and 8.8.8.8 but not resolve any names. [02:35] Snowie: ' ls -al /etc/resolv.conf ' . where I expect a symlink to /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf . [02:37] No synlink that I see. How to add please? [02:37] Wait [02:38] Link is to /var/run/Network manager/resolv.conf [02:38] Excuse the autocorrect [02:39] I guess that's the issue? I don't have that file in /run on my system either though :( [02:40] Snowie: Humm .. I do not have access to 17.04++ so can not verify that 16.04 (my install ) is the dame : " ../run/resolvconf/resolv.conf " .. that is a different path than yours ! [02:40] same* [02:41] Yeah, 17.04 switched to systemd's resolver is what I'm reading. What a PITA! Not bashing systemd, just frustrated. [02:41] Snowie: [02:41] Snowie: ' ls -al /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf ' shows what ? [02:42] Think I'm due for a clean install anyway. This must be my 3rd dist-upgrade on this box. [02:42] I have installed 17.10 on an old netbook, booting.... I'll check [02:42] It doesn't exist, but I'll double check. [02:42] jac76: :) ... thanks . [02:43] Cannot access: no such file or directory [02:43] Snowie: ^^ we await jac76 results . [02:44] in /etc I have a soft link named resolv.conf pointing to ../run/systemd/resolve.stub-resolv.conf [02:45] oops resolve/stub-resolv.conf [02:45] Haha. Thanks for your help guys. Really just want to get back to playing F1 2017 lol. I upgraded as recommended. Should have known, I've been way too lucky with this system. First real problem I've had [02:46] Ok, let me check if that exists on my system first [02:47] Wait /etc/run... No run directory in etc here??? [02:48] the ".." means go up a directory level [02:48] so "../run" means that "run" is at the same level as etc, not under etc [02:49] Ok. In /run/systemd there is no folder called resolve [02:49] hmmm.... [02:50] Circular loop lol, can't install if can't resolve and can't resolve if can't install it seems [02:51] Snowie: " sysop@x1604:~$ ls -al /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf >> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 172 Nov 3 11:43 /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf [02:51] " [02:52] Only thing in that folder is is another folder called "interface" [02:53] No other file there at all. [02:53] changes do no good, without systemctl restart resolvconf [02:54] Snowie: Suspicious, but I can not confirm . [02:54] The file " stub-resolv.conf" has the following comments [02:54] This file is managed by man:systemd-resolved(8). Do not edit [02:55] run "systemd-resolve --status" to see details about the actual nameservers." [02:56] then it has an entry of "nameserver 127.0.0.53" [02:56] anyone know how I can fix these giant gnome-shell notification icons https://i.imgur.com/3bXMjhN.png [02:56] its so annoying [03:01] snowie: do a "ps ax | grep systemd" [03:01] see if there is a "systemd-resolved" process running [03:02] that is apparently the new DNS resolver [03:13] Apparently a whole lot has changed in 17.10 regarding setting up networks see this link "https://websiteforstudents.com/configuring-static-ips-ubuntu-17-10-servers/" [03:25] according to this web site tutorial you creat/edit a file named "/etc/netplan/*.yaml" [03:25] once you insert the correctly formatted information into that file you then run a tool "sudo netplan apply" which sets up all the related network files. [03:27] so it's all text based and Snowie could do it at the command line. [03:28] jac76: However, with a GUI does not network-manager still controll networking ? [03:31] In looking at my 17.10 system that configuration file appears to call NetworkManager as the "renderer". But it looks like you can by pass NetWorkManager and completely configure a static IP address and DNS route from that one file [03:31] that one file being "/etc/netplan/*.yaml" [03:32] jac76: :) . See how this plays . [03:33] The first paragraph in that web site I referenced talked about how completely network setup had change in 17.10 [03:34] I wonder if anyone will notice? [03:34] :-) [03:36] to bad Snowie didn't stick around long enough for me to read these files, but then I am sort of a slow reader. [03:41] jac76: Any consolation, noted here for the next time . [03:42] yep, do the following google search "how to setup DNS in ubuntu 17.10" and prepare to be surprised. [03:44] hanna: Ho kay ,, I do ^ , [04:08] jac76: http://news.softpedia.com/news/ubuntu-16-10-yakkety-yak-switches-to-a-universal-local-dns-resolver-service-504770.shtml // universal local DNS resolver service for all Ubuntu Linux flavors, including Ubuntu Desktop, Ubuntu Server, and Ubuntu Touch. [04:11] I continued to read and found several instances of people upgrading from 16.04 to 17.10 and running into DNS problems. People are finding several way to work around their problems, not all of the are things I would recommend at this point. [04:12] desperation and confusion breed unsound solutions. [04:14] What is Ubuntu kernel SAUCE? [04:18] I did a google search and "SAUCE" appers to be a patch [04:20] apparently based on an older kernel "3.13.0-21.43" [04:20] holy sh*t, disabling language support keyboard input did wonders for the performance. [04:21] SAUCE are patches that havent made it into the mainline kernel [04:21] thats all [04:22] bcowan: Or rather, SAUCE are Ubuntu-specific modifications to kernel source? Not always intended to be upstreamed? [04:23] SAUCE are intended to be upstream waiting to be included, not ubuntu specific [04:24] Ok [04:24] metaphysician, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/FAQ/UbuntuDelta [04:24] hey all === cagrajesh_ is now known as cagrajesh [08:30] i can no longer use thinkpad dock audio in 17.10---it shows up, and if i select it in sound settings, the test sounds are still routed to internal speakers [08:31] how do i even start debugging this? [08:36] rx 570, ubuntu 17.10 installed amdgpu pro tryting to get hdmi audio, now "get no graphics" in a strange way. Seems gdm things it started, mouse shows if I move, but nothing graphical is vissible, instead tty is visible, well not tty as no login prompt just boot log message (no errors) [08:36] anyone familiar with such [08:37] seems like gdm is in some transparent framebuffer above tty/boot log, but no pixels are being drawn for gdm, just mouse, and only while moving... [08:39] how is the channel with 1k users so quet?! [08:43] I wonder what program provides the support for laptop keyboard shortcuts? I'm using Xubuntu 17.04 [08:43] all of my laptop shortcuts works in Xfce4-session [08:45] they don't work if I log into awesome wm.

[11:17] <_vince> the equivalent on noscript [11:17] <_vince> of [11:38] okay.. what the heck.. i need to do some things on ubuntu in a long time and "systemctl restart network" is not found.. any one know why? i use centos normaly [11:40] CptLuxx: you probably want to restart the networkmanager [11:40] what [11:40] CptLuxx, tell us your real issue [11:41] no? i just want to restart the network on this machine oO [11:42] could be "networking" instead of "network" [11:43] nope [11:43] CptLuxx: "sudo systemctl restart network-manager.service" [11:43] CptLuxx: if not that service, then check which you need. possibly "networking.service" [11:43] wow [11:43] *sighs* nope [11:44] I've already mentioned both possibilities [11:45] CptLuxx: which release of Ubuntu is it, which network config tool is the system using? [11:45] brand new 17.10 [11:45] installed 30min ago i think [11:45] CptLuxx: is it server or desktop? [11:45] CptLuxx, sudo systemctl disable NetworkManager.service, then sudo systemctl enable NetworkManager.service [11:45] server [11:46] realy BluesKaj? [11:46] CptLuxx: OK, it'll have used netplan to configure systemd-networkd.service [11:46] CptLuxx: "sudo systemctl restart systemd-networkd.service" should do it [11:46] m( thats it TJ-! [11:47] CptLuxx: right... networking is in a state of flux. In 17.10 we dropped the old ifupdown in favour or systemd-networkd, but on desktops it's still using Network Manager for obvious usability reasons [11:48] CptLuxx: configs are in /etc/systemd/network/ [11:48] well.. why not like on centos? [11:48] CptLuxx, it used to work when I used NM, but I haven't used them since I stopped using NM [11:49] CptLuxx: Ubuntu mostly follows Debian althougn in this we've diverged, mostly due to Canonical's focus on servers/VMs [11:49] right but i remember that it was even systemctl restart networking on debian [11:50] CptLuxx: it'd be "networking.service" ... which called the sysvinit ifupdown /etc/inti.d/networking script which called ifup/ifdown using the config in /etc/network/interfaces [11:50] finding this out on ubuntu took me 15 minutes.. [11:50] CptLuxx: it's in the 17.10 release notes :) [11:50] damn [11:50] well i did not install this.. :p [11:50] CptLuxx: :p [11:51] CptLuxx: I do think it'd be nice that when things change a surrogate is put in place to tell you the new way of doing things when you use older familiar commands [11:51] yes [11:51] Seems to me like all this race into Machine Learning ought first to be applied to the machines themselves! [11:52] ahhh why did this coworker install this [11:52] not even powershell is available as package for 17.04 [11:52] hello [11:54] not about Ubuntu specificaly, rather Linux in general, there's one question that still bugs me. I want to run closed-source programs, but since "this is *my* computer and *I* will decide how it works", I would like to hook specific operations like requesting current time (so that I can fake the current time), receiving/sending packets (so that I can intercept and modify them), etc. [11:54] so, is Linux the OS that would let me do so or it is just a dream? [11:55] you're losing the element of control when you run closed source programs [11:56] !ot [11:56] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please register with NickServ (see /msg ubottu !register) and use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [11:56] :) [11:57] I've asked on #linux, but they haven't answered yet (or just haven't answered). [11:58] i think linux is more 'the kernel' rather than the operating system [11:58] is that not true ?? [11:58] but if the program uses shared linux libraries, wouldn't it be possible to hook some functions? [11:58] you should install ubuntu in a VM and try it [11:59] TheWild: you can use the kernel netfilters layer (via the iptables/ip6tables) tools to intercept network packets and redirect them to some process that wants to do something with them. You can use fakeroot/chroot type tools or containers/VMs to restrict them. There are standard library shims that allow you to intercept/modify library calls (LD_LIBRARY_PATH is one, basic, way to implement that) [12:01] CptLuxx, install nmcli then these commands should work, sudo nmcli networking off, and, sudo nmcli networking on [12:02] okay, thank you TJ- [12:03] k BluesKaj [12:04] i.. think i can work for a while with that till there is an powershell release [12:05] preserving /home directory in a reinstallation of ubuntu can cause conflicts in configuration (because of new versions of software)? [12:06] jeremies: it's possible. Always best to back-up at least the $HOME/.dotfiles and .dotdirectories [12:09] TJ-: but I mean if its safe to preserve home directory or it can cause security threats? [12:12] jeremies: I can't imagine a security threat based on contents of $HOME config files. What I have seen in the past is a /home/ file-system shared amongst different distros/releases with different versions of the same application, and that application upgrades the schema on an internal database table. When older versions of that application are run they fail since they don't understand the newer schema [12:18] guys. i've canon LBP2900 and there are drivers for it (CAPT) http://support-sg.canon-asia.com/contents/SG/EN/0100459601.html [12:18] TJ-: ok. And when you use the update manager to install a new version of ubuntu, do you know if in some way the configuration files are processed to agree with the new version of the software? [12:18] i see printer in system, any params. but it's not print anything :) [12:19] jobs go to que, and nothing [12:19] i've rebooted system too [12:19] ubuntu 16.04 [12:19] xfce desktop [12:20] what i did wrong? [12:24] jeremies: yes. Every Debian package has upgrade scripts. there's .preinst, .postinst, .prerm, .postrm which the 'dpkg' tool runs as it is installing/upgrading packages. The package maintainers add code to those to cope with supported version upgrades [12:28] TJ-: So, suppose you have ubuntu 16.04 and you install 17.04 from a live cd if you preserve $HOME, then these upgrade scripts will be run? === SimonNL is now known as SimonNL_Afk [12:29] jeremies: I'm not 100% sure for that. As far as I was aware from the installer it'll just write over everything in-place. upgrade scripts are run as a result of "apt-get dist-upgrade" or "do-release-upgrade" [12:31] TJ-: ok, thank you very much!! :) [12:34] jeremies, my experience with /home is to put it and / on separate partitions. then during an upgrade just install to / and set the mountpoint for /home thus prederving all your DE configfiels and default app configs. I've never had problems using that method including upgrading LYS releases. [12:34] I primarily use my laptop (osx) for development, but have recently started using a desktop box running ubuntu. I would like as much consistency between keyboards as possible - is there some tool that solves the ctrl/cmd problem? [12:34] LTS releases [12:35] That is, you might use cmd t to open a new tab on osx, but ctrl t on ubuntu. I feel like people must have run into this before. [12:36] jeremies, hope you were able to decode my spelling mistakes :-) [12:37] BluesKaj: yes, I do this way too, but in some cases I have problems with the wifi passwords sharing across users [12:38] BluesKaj: Do you know how to purge wifi configurations, to resolve the problem? [12:38] jeremies, ok, never encountered that , I'm a single home user [12:38] jeremies: click on the network manager > edit connections [12:40] EriC^^: And then erase all the connections? [12:41] jeremies: yeah [12:42] could anyone tell me a book to learn under the hood what happens whenever we run any command [12:42] or about internals [12:42] littlepython, that's way too vague [12:42] kostkon: you would suggest any good linux books? [12:42] EriC^^: Ok, I'll try that later (I've to restart the computer for that) but I think in the past I did this and the problem was not resolved. [12:43] littlepython, no, but the web is full of either free ebooks or recommendations for good dead tree ones [12:43] oh ok [12:47] littlepython: try the Linux Documentation Project http://tldp.org/ [13:04] (02:28:19 μμ) jeremies: TJ-: So, suppose you have ubuntu 16.04 and you install 17.04 from a live cd if you preserve $HOME, then these upgrade scripts will be run? => upgrade scripts never touch home, as part of the debian policy. They can only change some settings in /etc, and not even settings provided by other packages. [13:05] $HOME settings upgrade can happen only after user login [13:09] alkisg: correct; and only as a result of executing the application (which could be autorun of course) [13:21] When you say things couldn't suck more (compiz) ubuntu switches to gnome.

[13:48] Sbur3: not sure. I suggest asking in #ffmpeg [13:48] scattrbrain: newer kernels bring new hardware support. for ubuntu you can install "mainline kernel" [13:49] brainwas1: Ok, thx. I knew I was in the wrong channel, but don't know which is the right one too often ... Bye and thx [13:49] cool thanks guys. still tryna upload this log but shutter keeps freezing when i try to upload it to imgur [13:51] https://imgur.com/pXxJit8 [13:51] here it is [13:52] wait that's low res af [13:53] scattrbrain, better use a pastebin for text output [13:53] !paste [13:53] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use https://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use https://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [13:54] cool thx [13:55] brainwas1, here's the results of the journalctl [13:55] https://pastebin.com/0RXS79KB [13:56] isn't that only the first page? [13:56] journalctl > output.txt [13:59] https://pastebin.com/S1d7TGn1 [13:59] that's the full one i think [14:00] https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2364068 this is one solution i tried for a similar problem [14:00] but it didn't work for me [14:00] worked for him tho [14:01] Hi, i am running Ubuntu 17.10 on AMD A10-5800k. I found that most of the animations are very laggy (mostly minimize, maximize). I am running open source radeon drivers ( AMD Aruba ) with the latest Oibaf PPA. [14:01] I can provide you with any kind of logs. [14:02] Do you have any ideas how i can improve the performance ? [14:07] ls [14:07] scattrbrain: your log mentions the wifi driver rtl8821ae, the ubuntuforums thread is about rtl8723be [14:08] hi, how do i ugrade directly from 15.4 to 17.10, without having to pass trough 17.04? [14:08] i mean 16.04 lts [14:08] yeah i switched it brainwas1 [14:08] i tried it with rtl8821ae [14:09] didn't work :( [14:09] you did try with "options rtl8821ae ant_sel=1"? [14:10] yep [14:11] I guess you have to test with 17.10 then [14:11] iight [14:12] thanks brain [14:12] gareppa, you can't. Only way is to do a fresh install [14:12] ok [14:12] i'll brb [14:13] so i just have to download it on my flash drive and "test" it to see if the internet works better right? brainwas1 [14:13] no need to install? [14:14] exactly [14:14] cool brb [14:22] I have my full home computer environment with windows server and windows 10. I am trying to move my entire home to ubuntu server and desktop installs. My concerns is having sso for all computers with out a windows ad server. [14:23] tacomaster: it's possible to set up an ldap server with samba to do the same thing [14:24] TJ-, any links to setting up ldap for such an environment? I have a similar requirement btw [14:24] tacomaster: this might get you started with what is required: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/samba-ldap.html [14:24] so basically ldap just handles the login part or will it do stuff like gpo as well? [14:24] tx [14:24] TJ-: thanks [14:26] TJ-, can you suggest a live video recording software in Ubuntu? I need to put a 1080p USB webcam, and record live footage of the front side of my house [14:27] Also I will be using my Raspberry Pi Model 3 running Ubuntu Mate [14:27] Why are all the binaries not executable ELF files any more? [14:27] Execute "file /bin/cp" to see what I mean. [14:27] All the commands are shared libraries now. [14:27] Mr_Cyclops: CCTV? there's zoneminder [14:28] !zonemindoer | Mr_Cyclops [14:28] !info zonemindoer | Mr_Cyclops [14:28] Mr_Cyclops: Package zonemindoer does not exist in artful [14:28] !info zoneminder | Mr_Cyclops [14:28] yeah like CCTV .. zoneminder, is it part of Ubuntu repo or external repo [14:28] Mr_Cyclops: zoneminder (source: zoneminder): video camera security and surveillance solution. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.30.4+dfsg-2 (artful), package size 4364 kB, installed size 27200 kB [14:28] aha got it [14:28] got it, finally! [14:28] he he tx [14:28] who should I report this crash to? (happens when switching my receiver's input back to the machine after previously having switched it away; crashes gnome-shell; exits the session; only in the Ubuntu session, not in the GNOME one): https://gist.github.com/7a8a067741594a77cb756748588ab840 [14:44] I'm trying to install the python stats model but getting a permission denied error [14:44] using the pip command [14:46] erle-: $ file /bin/cp: /bin/cp: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, BuildID[sha1]=5a9675e90d7775415eb5e406b7d7602490ea8941, stripped [14:47] alkisg, regular Ubuntu 17.10 [14:47] ? [14:47] 16.04 [14:47] in 17.10 it's a shared library [14:48] OK, you didn't specify that :) [14:48] aka “not executable ELF files” [14:49] >/bin/cp: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0 ...blablabla [14:51] erle-: https://askubuntu.com/questions/690631/executables-vs-shared-objects [14:52] "A shared object executable, so to say, is a positional independent executable (PIE) using address space layout randomization (ASLR).

" PIE has a large (5-10%) performance penalty " ... "As of 17.10,... PIE is now enabled across all architectures "... [14:58] it also says "PIE on 64-bit architectures do not have the same penalties," [14:58] Yes, I'm using i386 :/ [15:21] hi, i just installed on my new htpc (i3 8100) ubuntu mate 17.10. the first start went fine, now i changed the start scripts so that lightdm is not started and instead xinit with kodi, but the performance is horrible. when i move the mouse, it jumps over the screen, because its so laggy [15:21] can someone tell me what could went wrong or how to investigate into the problem? [15:23] tete_, check your kodi system settings video performance [15:24] glxinfo -B | grep -i accelerated [15:24] ^ should say 'yes' [15:26] hm, when i try to execute that in the console, i get Error: unable to open display. At the moment i am connected from my machine -> sshd to ubuntu. is there some way to run this without disabling kodis autostart, start lightdm? [15:26] DISPLAY=:0 glxinfo -B | grep -i accelerated === SimonNL_Afk is now known as SimonNL [15:27] root@htpc:/home/oli# DISPLAY=:0 glxinfo -B | grep -i accelerated [15:27] Accelerated: no [15:27] there's your problem, video acceleration isn't working [15:27] hi, how to switch off mainboard beep in 17.10. 17.04 had a souncard beep only. [15:27] i thought so too, but how can i start that? [15:28] i think the driver in use is i915 which seems wrong to me [15:28] because its quiet old isnt it [15:28] tete_: normally, it should happen automatically, controlled by the i915 intel video driver (which controls your CPU embedded GPU) and mesa === jstein_ is now known as jstein [15:29] hey guys [15:29]
