[00:00] I'll come back after the upgrade [00:01] thank you tomreyn, Ben64, oerheks and all the other nice people here! [00:01] have fun! === jstein_ is now known as jstein [00:41] Can anyone recommend a reliable VPN for Ubuntu? I have found some that work well for my Mac and Windows computers, but those same services disconnect all the time on my Ubuntu machine. [00:42] gw1sh1n I use open VPN server but run it off my router but I know the VPN client its self works pretty well [00:43] are you looking for a VPN client or server solution? [00:43] Client. I guess I should have made that clear [00:44] I've used Mullvad, BlackVPN, VPNTunnel and a few others but the sll seem to disconnect after a few minutes of use [00:45] *they all [00:45] what vpn server are you using? and what protocol ? openvpn, PPTP, L2TP, IPsec? [00:46] sorry I was typing as you posted that [00:46] I'm using OpenVPN protocol. From what I've read, PPTP and L2TP have some flaws [00:46] So I'd like to keep using OpenVPN for that reason [00:47] i like nordvpn because it's not in canada / usa and it's fast and stable [00:47] also they don't log [00:47] PPTP is broke as far as security not aware of any issue with IPsec [00:47] @buggedout No problems with frequent disconnections? [00:48] they have a black friday deal going on too right now.. i got 3 years for 99 bucks. [00:48] gwlshln : yeah,agree,NordVPN it is a great choice [00:48] so I know with the openvpn client there is an option you can add to cache the password, if you don't do that it will disconnect after x amount of time until you re-auth [00:48] yeah so far im really pleased.. you can double encrypt too [00:49] are you getting any errors from the client when the disconnect happens? [00:50] As in logs? [00:50] I actualy don't know how to check that. I'm still learning my way around Linux [00:52] I see okay so what VPN client are you using now? [00:52] norm most applications will leave a log in /var/log [00:53] which can be views by running tail -f /var/log/logile_name.log )or where ever the location of said log is [00:54] so track down the log file for the client you are using, that will be the best way to get to the bottom of the problem. Also are you sure its not an issue with the VPN server its self, or is it only the ubunut client giving you problems? [00:57] hrmm I wonder what would happen if I were to put a ssd in this laptop and put xubuntu/lubuntu on it(I am getting in a big mood to put linux on everything of mine XD) [00:58] kaosine, thats a great topic for #ubuntu-offtopic [00:58] after having ssd's in my last 3 laptops i'd never go back. [00:59] bazhang: really? === sins-_l is now known as sins- [00:59] lets keep to technical support here please [00:59] chit chat in the offtopic channel [00:59] buggedout: yeah...never had a ssd before(too broke for it) but yeah [00:59] kaosine, yes [01:00] bazhang: well I'm still not sure what I'm going to put on it though....regular ubuntu I know is a no go >_> [01:00] so there in it's still technical stuff I think :-\ [01:00] so I want to use my buddies comp as a server, do I literally just connect to server or do I connect via SSH and learn all about that? [01:00] kaosine, then try something lighter, lubuntu comes to mind [01:01] SSD are great you will notice more performance than you would just by doubling the RAM in a system [01:01] ugh I need to go ask my grandmother her password I need to double check the specs but it should only have 4gb of ram I think... [01:01] timyp: well I think they maxed the system out at 4gb but I could be wrong [01:02] this laptop is about 1.5 years old has 16gb of ram and a midline ssd.. runs fine.. I7 7gen processor. can't kick [01:02] an SSD will make all the difference [01:02] is there a way to see installation progress during ubuntu's gui install ? [01:02] yeah some form of amd a6 here...ok I'm getting up to check that password [01:02] timyp, buggedout kaosine the offtopic channel or ##hardware for this please [01:03] can i see the commandline somehow ? [01:04] oboma: if you're talking about updates, there should be a triangle icon you can click on to get the command output [01:04] tomreyn: no, i am on the partitioning step of ubuntu install gui and its taking quite some time [01:04] yeah the install itself is either command line or gui.. i don't think you can do both.. afaik [01:05] i'm starting to wonder if my boot order isnt the pb [01:05] buggedout: ok [01:05] maybe you have safeboot on? [01:05] if you can get to a termincal try debconf-apt-progress [01:05] terminal * [01:06] more than likely something to do with efi. [01:07] i think the only task in partitioning that would take long is crypto disk if you chose to zero them out. [01:13] ok so amd a6-4400 and 8gb of ram, that's still lubuntu I should be looking at right? [01:13] you can run anything on that [01:13] kaosine, 8gb of ram will run any and everything [01:14] kaosine, ubuntu has a requirements page to read [01:14] !requirements [01:14] Hardware requirements to install, boot and comfortably use Ubuntu are listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements - For a !flavor with lower requirements, see !Xubuntu or !Lubuntu [01:14] kaosine, ^ [01:14] I just wasn't sure....I'm not a hardware guy if you can't tell. I'm still confused looking at potiential upgrades for the desktop she gave me. and amd processors has the worst numbering system imo [01:15] s/has/have [01:19] I don't think I'm ever going back to windows now unless i'm forced to that is though [01:20] kaosine Just install VirtualBox and put a Windows VM on your computer. The only thing I have to use Windows for is Word documents every once in a while [01:20] well even that I'm almost certain I can avoid with libre :P [01:21] office 365 exists too [01:21] Every once in a while the formatting is off with libre, which is the only reason I even have the windows vm [01:22] yeah and I still don't like 365. I have it through school for free and I still prefer libre. I never do anything advanced with it anyways... [01:24] kaosine, did you some specific technical support issues, or just want to chatter [01:25] well I've still been trying to figure out why my kubu install on this desktop is flickering every once in awhile(i've been googling it but I wouldn't be surprised if that last apt-update did it knowing my luck and I need to restart) [01:26] so, i had this wifi usb adapter that was making the installation loop indefinitely [01:26] all i did was unplug it and off it goes finishing the install in seconds [01:27] wait....wifi usb adapter? those still exist? [01:29] kaosine: the mobo is 10yo [01:29] ok that explains it [01:29] I just haven't heard of those things in FOREVER [01:30] not since we built computers in my junior year and we only had those because we were testing network stuff(with tm nations >_>) on those computers [01:30] have I heard of anyone using or having those [01:42] kaosine, I do.... o.O since when wifi is a standard in desktop (non-laptop) machines? [01:44] I mean they install it quite often, but it's still not that common (I think) [01:45] konrados: for a long time....most stores sell them with wifi in them now a days if you don't build it yourself [01:46] kaosine, ah, now I thought I've never bought a pc ready 'out of the box' :P [02:11] is there a way to automatically run sudo apt-get update so i can get regular software updates ? i forget to do it pretty often [02:13] probably, but why not just set a calendar reminder on the thing to remind you? that's what I'd do XD [02:17] I'm not sure if it would be advisable (I'm pretty new to Linux) but you could edit your crontab [02:18] Rather [02:18] You would have to edit root's crontab [02:18] Which you can do thorugh: [02:18] $ sudo crontab -e [02:19] Read through some literature online or relevant man pages to get the syntax right (there's a useful online tool called Corntab that can assist as well) [02:20] Also, yes, the website it Corntab, but the program that it helps with is cron [02:20] arooni , in a way , it's a little bit unsecure to set update automatic [02:21] because if something goes wrong, or some new versions of something is buggy, or with issues with your hardware, you've a nuclear war after reboot [02:22] ^ that's why I was unsure as to whether cron-ing a software updates would be good [02:22] However [02:22] Since updating just gets the latest package and doesn't install it until it is upgraded [02:23] I think it should be fine so long as crontab is not edited to include $ apt upgrade [02:23] that https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticSecurityUpdates [02:23] it's useful about [02:24] the last line is about generic automatic updates. [02:42] I'm having trouble printing. I printed a few test pages after a reboot and it worked fine. Then I printed something that got my printer into a weird state, which I fixed by turning it off and on. Now ubuntu says it's printing, but nothing ever goes to the printer. [02:43] I have a box that id like to use as a HTPC but it has a displayport instead of HDMI. i cant figure out how to configure audio out over displayport since xubuntu isnt recognizng it as an option. Any help? [02:43] I've tried restarting cups (sudo systemctl restart cups.service) but it didn't fix it. I've also tried unplugging and replugging the cable. Any other suggestions on how to reset it? [03:00] so... now i'm stuck on wifi. module is loaded, but the interface does not exist [03:01] its picked up in dmesg when i plug it in [03:04] https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2325317 [03:06] When i watch videos on any of my linux machines i often tearing in the picture. i dont have this issue on a windows machine running the same hardware. ive had this issue on every linux machine ive ever used, regardless of distro. does anyone know what is causing this? [03:10] hey guys, I recently updated to 17.10. I am using xfce4. I locked my screen and walked away from the computer. About 20 minutes later I came back and the screen is all blue, and sometimes it switches to all red. I am able to get to a tty (which I am on). Any suggestions on debugging this? [03:10] This is the second time it happened. Last time I restarted and the computer came back up fine. This time I left it in the broken state to try to make things easier to figure out. [03:11] Hi JoshuaD. [03:11] This behavious is typical for the 'slock' screen locker. [03:12] can confirm slock is currently running. [03:12] To get back in, type your password in (this will make it turn blue) and hit Enter. [03:12] You may wish to switch from slock to an xfce screen locker that is less confusing. It probably is not installed simply. [03:13] that worked, thanks. Which screen locker would you recommend? [03:14] I think xscreensaver provides neat locking that xfce users often use: [03:14] http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BDdfMA_93iM/UQsasyE_4KI/AAAAAAAAGTs/s0Sgc8FfKNg/s1600/xscreensaver2.png [03:15] 'xscreensaver' is a package, I would hope installing it already is enough by itself. [03:18] brb switching to hexchat [03:20] Ok, welcome back. The package name is 'xscreensaver', by the way, in case you do not remember it from the discussion above. [03:20] Thnx. I'm gonna do a little digging and try to figure out the one I had previous to the upgrade. I liked that one [03:20] I think it may have been light-locker [03:22] So a little while ago I switched from lightdm to sddm because lightdm was hanging on boot. Can I use light-locker with sddm? [03:27] I don't think so. [03:28] The way "something-locker" works is it sends a signal to a running "something" and asks it to lock the screen. [03:28] i see. So the dm and the locker come together as a pair [03:29] That is my interpretation. [03:30] cool, really appreciate the help. [03:30] Welcome. === r0Oter is now known as r00ter [03:50] hello everyone [03:51] I'm trying to configure bridge network [03:51] not sure what went wrong [03:51] so I'm following this article on my localmachine [03:51] https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/create-kvm-pods-with-maas?_ga=2.122713161.317020200.1511341689-1131947244.1511341689#2 [03:51] and for some reason, when I restart [03:51] my wifi adaptor doesn't work anymore [03:52] trying to bridge your router with the isp router?

[03:54] i'd change the name server to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 googles public servers [03:55] they always seem to be fastest for me anyway [03:56] I don't have nameservers defined and my wifi is meant to be automatic, additionally, when I say wifi not woking, I mean it doesn't even show wifis to connect in the first place [03:56] did you restart network manager? [03:56] hrrmm [03:56] oh [03:56] what brand is the router? [03:57] netgear, but I cannot imagine that it would make a difference, as it's working if I removed the bridge settings [03:58] Here is the working version http://paste.ubuntu.com/26047050/ [03:59] so.. your trying to bridge your netgear router to the router your isp gave you correct? [03:59] Hi guys, I just installed ubuntu on a MacBookPro11,3. Does anybody know a way to install the wifi drivers via usb since I dont have access to an ethernet port? [04:01] if your trying to bridge it to a router from your isp.. you have to call them to have them setup a bridge on their end as well or it will not bridge [04:02] i do h awve 12 beer in me tho.. so oi could be totally misunderstanding. the code yo u posted is making my head spin. lol [04:02] pennTeller: can't go grab a usb to ethernet adapter? [04:02] this default config doesn't break anything [04:02] The interesting, I have approx 10 wifis around, I see none, so it's definitely something got to do with the bridging config [04:02] No, I am trying to follow this article >> https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/create-kvm-pods-with-maas?_ga=2.122713161.317020200.1511341689-1131947244.1511341689#2 [04:02] afaik, I"m trying to bridge to virtual network [04:02] have you seen the article? [04:04] kaosine, not really.. Ideally I could boot into mac os download the driver into a USB, boot ubuntu 16.04 and install the driver. But I dont know where to find them or if they are installabe via USB [04:06] pennTeller: well there is this and there is a zip linked in teh accepted answer too so I guess you could try it...not sure if it's for the same one though if apple does change them up between versions of laptops [04:06] hrrmm yeah that might be a bit over my head atm.. i thought you were trying to bridge 2 routers.. [04:06] https://askubuntu.com/questions/470153/no-wireless-when-install-14-04-on-macbook-pro [04:06] (forgot to paste the link XD) [04:06] kaosine, thank you :) [04:06] your trying to bridge 2 nic cards one inside and one outside the network? [04:07] or that's what im seeing from that article [04:11] 1 real nic and one virtual nic [04:11] the birdge is for linking both of them [04:11] I've done something, i'll try to reboot and see if it works [04:11] brb [04:19] buggedout: please see the next 2 steps [04:19] it still dind't work with me [04:29] atdprhs: there is also ##networking if you like [04:33] thanks lotuspsychje [04:33] atdprhs: those guys know alot about networking [04:37] lotuspsychje, yes, I'm there and talking to them, didn't know about this channel, thanks a lot for pointing it out!!

Excellent! === TheRedQueen is now known as Drone [05:40] On Ubuntu 17.10. Tried switching my dm to lightdm. Computer stops booting sometime during systemd. I have the plymouth screen on display still moving, but nothing else. I cannot get to any TTYs, they don't seem to be established yet. This has happened before (on 16.10) and I was able to work around it by going into recovery mode and choosing a different DM and uninstalling lightdm. Is there something else I can do to figure out why [05:40] things hang? I would like to use LightDM. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling it, but that didn't work. Are there config files somewhere I can try reseting to defaults, maybe? [06:04] Hi guys does anybody know a way to set "palm rejection" or "thumb rejection" for a trackpad on a MacBook pro? [06:10] FYI: I fixed that by removing /etc/lightdm. The defaults kicked in and lightdm is working. === StopTakingMyNick is now known as Guest35017 === malkauns_ is now known as malkauns [08:53] Are there any huge differences between Ubuntu with KDE and Kubuntu [08:53] If you have KDE desktop on both [08:53] For 16.04 for example [08:58] GhostwalkGames: ideally, no differences. In practise you might get some service from ubuntu running under kde, wasting ram etc [09:02] Okay thanks [09:28] Hello. Is it possible to open a new window in a screen and execute a command in it? Within a screen, I want to execute a script, that opens several windows each with a ssh connection to my servers. [09:36] Hi! Who know what is this the language is it bash? https://pastebin.com/0xxWELmZ [09:36] this code translate selected text [09:39] http://pix.toile-libre.org/upload/original/1511689128.png [09:39] not bad? a few row of code creates the translator [09:39] Well, it combines a wget with several other things (mostly sed). [09:40] LeMike_: somebody who did it might be know it [09:40] wget asks google to translate, sed parses the answer, notify-send shows it in your desktop [09:40] yes you guessed, it is [09:41] it's bad of course translator, in windows I have better abbyy lingua x6 [09:42] oh boy, you said the bad word. [09:42] this translator able translate text from video, I hove mouse under subtitle and get translation and can copy to file for learn by then [09:42] LeMike_: what is bad words? [09:42] Windows [09:43] LeMike_: oh :) [09:43] LeMike_: I have both [09:44] LeMike_: Trying customize now ubuntu, if manage it I'll will use it as main OS, On windows I have all main apps that I like to use [09:44] skype, wabmoney, good translator ( books in English I'll read in windows ) [09:45] LeMike_: hey code like that is call Bash scripting or shall programming? [09:46] this is shell programming? [09:47] Bash is a shell [09:47] So a bash script is a shell script :-) [09:47] Roughly speaking [09:47] ok [09:48] GhostwalkGames: and that script above is shell code? [09:48] Yeh bash shell script [09:49] good, Seems it is powerful thing, You can make translator using shell, I didn't think it before... [09:50] Bash can do a lot of things that Python or other languages can. It's not perfect but it's very powerful [09:55] Neo3: the shell is a very powerful and efficient tool, which is why we've been telling you to learn how to use it instead of relying on guis and web panels [09:56] I'll do [09:59] Hiyas all [10:01] ducasse: see how it works, pretty cool http://pix.toile-libre.org/upload/original/1511690387.png [10:03] of course abbyy lingua x6 is better, but nevertheless it's better than nothing, I know enough words and can read without translator in multiple cases...

[10:09] fewer people Neo3, little means the people are small in size [10:10] BluesKaj: seems small means small in size, little means about amount? [10:11] not amount, a midget is a little person [10:12] Actually imho 'there are little people' would be correct in the sense : there are not many people [10:12] fewer =quantity [10:12] *also [10:13] it's countable few [10:13] yomm, nope [10:13] yes I mean there few people [10:13] BluesKaj: I always use it, there are little people, it means little number of humans [10:13] like: there is little interest in the subject [10:14] Neo3, that's wrong in english [10:14] BluesKaj: little use with uncountable noun, few with countable, people probably is uncountable noun [10:14] move on to real support issues? [10:15] Neo3, ubuntu support issues? [10:15] maybe this discussion can go to ##English... [10:15] uncountable yes , so fewer means countable [10:15] BluesKaj: google translator translated a few people [10:16] Neo3, lets get back to ubuntu support please [10:16] ok [10:16] you won't learn english using a translator [10:16] they are unrelaiable [10:30] Can someone please help me to enable the bluetooth device of the rtl8822BE chip on ubuntu 16.04 with 4.14.2 kernel? :) [10:31] !info linux-image-generic xenial [10:31] linux-image-generic (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image.

[11:25] lotuspsychje, yes chrome works fine [11:25] frib: so must be FF and not graphics hmm [11:25] Richard_Cavell: it says use separator instead of newline [11:25] frib: tried FF in the guest account or new profile? [11:26] how's to get drivers working on kubuntu? im trying without successfull [11:26] it ok now thanks [11:26] !yay | atomo [11:26] atomo: Glad you made it! :-) [11:29] Richard_Cavell: http://paste.ubuntu.com/26049033/ [11:29] Richard_Cavell: the separator is what determines where it uses (in reverse order) something to be displayed first [11:31] lotuspsychje, not yet [11:34] The only way I can boot now is if select ubuntu from the bios [11:34] guys, is it possible to limit unity from display opened apps in other workspaces? [11:35] !info wmctrl | atdprhs [11:35] atdprhs: wmctrl (source: wmctrl): control an EWMH/NetWM compatible X Window Manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.07-7 (artful), package size 20 kB, installed size 78 kB [11:37] EriC^^: Okay [11:37] It doesn't work the way I thought it might [11:38] Richard_Cavell: what did you want it to do? [11:38] When I let my computer boot it comes to a grub menu that has Debain and Fedora. I have no idea where that file is that tells that [11:39] EriC^^: https://ideone.com/WdnMOc [11:39] tarelerulz, have you run sudo update-grub in debian or fedora? [11:40] Richard_Cavell: odd, i'd expect it to create newlines, try | tac -s "." [11:41] thanks EriC^^ , i'm researching on how to use it now [11:41] Richard_Cavell: oh, i think it just does the separation for each individual line [11:42] Richard_Cavell: ultimately what are you trying to achieve? [11:47] EriC^^, I am looking at it's usage https://linux.die.net/man/1/wmctrl , not sure if it can really do what I need? [11:48] atdprhs: try this instead http://www.webupd8.org/2010/08/how-to-make-application-always-open-on.html [11:58] EriC^^: I'm just going through man pages of various commands, trying to make sure I understand usage of basic commands [11:59] Richard_Cavell: ah cool, i recommend http://www.tldp.org/LDP/GNU-Linux-Tools-Summary/GNU-Linux-Tools-Summary.pdf if you've not read it already, it gives a good base on the essentials [12:04] EriC^^, I installed the app [12:05] couldn't find what I needed, as from the link you provided >> "To make an application always open on a workspace (viewport)", this is opposite to what I want to do [12:05] I want to limit visible windows to current workspaces only [12:06] atdprhs: you mean the icons? [12:06] i.e, if I have A running workspace 1, and B running on Workspace 2, in my unity bar on the left, I want to only see A as I am on Workspace 1 [12:06] oh [12:06] And B to be hidden [12:06] till I switch to the second workspace [12:06] i dont think that's possible [12:07] hmm [12:07] okay, thx EriC^^ [12:10] Where can i ask about translations and launchpad if no answer on #ubuntu-translators [12:19] May I know how do I check which application I had install ubuntu OS from live cd ? [12:21] the ubuntu installer is called Ubiquity if that's what you're asking, nbusrone [12:25] BluesKaj : I mean , ubuntu is install on sda3 but I booted with live cd but wanted to list out application & lib install on sda3 ubuntu OS rather than booting on the OS. [12:26] BluesKaj : something similar with dpkg -l [12:29] Morning folks [12:30] I have 17.10 amd64 installed on a system with a hybrid display (intel and nvidia) [12:30] everything works ok [12:32] nbusrone, you have to boot into or ssh into the ubuntu OS to list the installed packages/libs etc [12:33] I have currently dock the laptop as my workstation by connecting it to two external monitors via VGA and HDMI port whilst the laptop/notebook lid is closed [12:33] BluesKaj : there is no other way to find out through a live cd booting ? [12:33] Now the issue is any video chat application installed (e.g. Google hangout or meeting) cannot share a specific monitor [12:35] share the screen during video conference either gives the option to share a particular application window or the entire desktop which combines the two monitors and makes viewing very small [12:35] nbusrone, there might be a method , but I don't know what it could be [12:36] Has anybody been able to get sharing a single monitor in a dual or more monitor setup === AntiSpamMeta2 is now known as AntiSpamMeta [12:46] nbusrone, in my experience an OS must be running in order to list it's libs or packages etc [13:06] /join #gdm [13:14] Where does xubuntu gets its translated strings from if not from /usr/share/applications/gnome.sudoku.desktop? I see translated strings in the fil but in the menu i see the english strings [13:32] Hi everyone. I have a problem (I'm on Kubuntu 17.10) with akonadi_control: immediatly after I do the login appears a windows saying that the app crashed http://paste.ubuntu.com/26049644/ [13:58] I create virtual hosts on apache expemple.com and test.com [13:58] and put there ip 111.111.111.111 [13:58] this is screen http://pix.toile-libre.org/upload/original/1511704603.png [13:58] In browser type expemple.com and can't access the site [13:58] What is wrong here? [13:59] everything [13:59] Seems url should be 127.0.0.1, but on this guide whote 111.111.111.111 [13:59] https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-apache-virtual-hosts-on-ubuntu-16-04 [14:00] EriC^^: read that guide, there wrote ip 111.111.111.111, why not 127.0.0.1? [14:01] and I can't change apache files from desctop, file is accessible only for reading [14:02] !permissions | Neo3 read this [14:02] Neo3 read this: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [14:04] ducasse: see http://pix.toile-libre.org/upload/original/1511705042.png [14:05] I need to run file manager with admin permission for edit files [14:11] what is here happens? [14:11] We're installing app that will open noutilus as administrator? [14:11] http://www.noobslab.com/2017/04/open-as-rootadministrator-add-powerful.html [14:13] Guys, it's not possible to hibernate with Secure Boot enabled? [14:15] Hi! I have an issue with the launchpad build. It was supposed to finish in 10 minutes, but it's been three hours... [14:16] atdprhs: https://askubuntu.com/questions/764437/can-not-make-hibernate-on-uefi-secure-boot#775707 [14:16] Is the delay only because of the build score? The time goes from 11 to 9 minutes, then back to 11 [14:17] LyzardKing: try #launchpad [14:18] atdprhs: sure it is [14:18] I need fast seen path to some files, how to do it? file test.com.conf doesn't work [14:20] alright, thanks guys [14:20] Enjoy your day/night [14:20] I want to contribute to apt-btrfs-snapshot. How do I do this? [14:23]
