moppyi have trouble with Artful and nvidia driver with encrypted system. It won't boot normally, failing at disk unlock. it works in recovery mode, and i think it's best the nvidia driver can't read from the encryped disk.00:01
moppys/best/because00:01
moppyI either get the unlock prompt but the keyboard won't respond, or it wont display the unlock screen and just sits there showing black screen.00:02
DJAnonimono luck with liquidsoap. compiled and looks like something failed in "make"00:04
DJAnonimowill continue tomorrow. Thank you anyway guys. good nite00:04
moppyhuh, unfixed bug but only 'high' not critical since the system still boots, but only by going through recovery00:07
moppywhy do i even upgrade anything anymore?00:07

bcowananyone experience firefox not closing when you click the close window x randomly00:47
bazhangbcowan, are you having that issue?00:48
bazhangbcowan, what versions of ubuntu and firefox is this for00:49
bcowanyeah...sometimes i can click like ten times and it wont close. weird00:49
bcowan17.10 and 5700:50
bcowanhappened before 57 also00:51
kostkonbcowan, does it happen in safe mode?00:51
geniiecv: According to NVidia, recommended driver for that card is 340.104000:52
genii!info nvidia-34000:52
ubottunvidia-340 (source: nvidia-graphics-drivers-340): NVIDIA binary driver - version 340.104. In component restricted, is optional. Version 340.104-0ubuntu2 (artful), package size 28636 kB, installed size 139965 kB (Only available for i386; amd64; armhf)00:52
bcowankostkon, it will close immediately if i cntrl-q or goto the drop box and close just not from the x randomly00:54
Bashing-omgenii: ^ I see the 384 driver for the gtx950m : http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/126577/en-us . Yes ?00:55
geniiBashing-om: I found 340.1040 listed at https://www.geforce.com/drivers when searching there00:56
ecvgenii: why does ubuntu install 384.90 on my system then? It should probe ?00:57
genii( which was apparently released Sept 19 this year, so pretty recent)00:57
kostkonbcowan, about:support  and try restarting firefox in safe mode and see if it's still failing to close00:59
ecvgenii: thank you. I'll try 340.1040 and report back. Can I simply install from official repo with apt and all will be okay or need I take the official one from nvidia and do it manually ?01:00
geniiecv: Installing nvidia-340 should remove the other01:00
ecvgenii: thanks again01:01
Bashing-omgenii: IRT GTX950 driver . I do not know what to think now . But the 384 driver is the later release, no ?01:01
geniiIt will just do some dkms magic01:01
geniiBashing-om: Latest version is not always the optimum for a given older card01:02
bcowankostkon, ok..i'll try that01:02
tharkunAloha, I keep getting this "A start job is running for Raisee network interfaces(countdown/ 5min 10s) What is that supposed to mean?01:03
rfleminggenii, Debian is nice enough to have nvidia-detect which tells you the driver your card can use.  Sadly that tool didn't port over (that I can tell)01:04
tharkunThen the boot process continues and I get a Failed for setting up the network eth interface. How can I fix it I am running ubuntu server 16.04 LTS01:04
tharkunIf this is a dhcp error from the modem I can set up a fixed ip if someone instructs me on how to do that.01:05

Boobiekostkon... how do I skip this linux-headers-4.4.0-98-generic dependency?01:08
kostkonBoobie, what release are you on01:08
rflemingOh wait, does 17.10 use NetPlan now?01:08
tharkunrfleming: So far so good what is the man page for that?01:08
tharkunor how can I test the dhcp server on the modem?01:09
BoobieKostkon: 16.0401:09
rflemingtharkun, check https://websiteforstudents.com/configuring-static-ips-ubuntu-17-10-servers/01:09
rflemingsure, you don't have a server... but it's the same thing01:09
rflemingtharkun, What version are you running?01:11
kostkonBoobie, sudo apt update and then sudo apt full-upgrade01:11
rfleming16.04 LTS, 17.04, 17.10... Unity, GNOME, Budgie?01:11
rflemingKDE, etc.01:11
kostkonBoobie, use the ubuntu pastebin for the outputs01:11
Boobiekostkon, I definitely can't do that01:12
BoobieIt's a production server running live01:13
kostkonBoobie, oh01:13
rflemingkostkon, why do you need to skip the dependency?01:13
kostkonrfleming, not me, Boobie01:14
rflemingsorry... Boobie, why do you need to skip the dependency01:14
* rfleming going through the logs01:14
moppyWhat's the fstab option to auto-mount at login, instead of at boot?01:14
rflemingI came late to this party and am missing some of the logs.  What's the issue Boobie?01:15

Bashing-omecv: At the login screen, can you activate a console interface ( ctl+alt+F2 ) ?01:20
rflemingWhat version are you using?  16.04 LTS, 17.04, 17.10?01:20
ecvBashing-om: no, I can't01:20
ecv17.1001:21
rflemingecv, can you ssh into it?01:21
ecvnot sure I got ssh server set up01:21
=== kostkon_ is now known as kostkon
ecvmaybe there's some grub option I can add to use vesa or something like that?01:21
Bashing-omecv: next then is a recovery console . can you get to grub's boot menu ?01:21
rflemingBoobie: So you're trying to install silversearcher-ag on xenial.  What's the problem?01:21
ecvBashing-om: ok i will01:22
rflemingecv, while booting (after post but before Ubuntu logo), press and hold shift.  That should bring up the GRUB menu01:22
rflemingthen you can select recoveyr mode01:22
rflemingrecovery even01:22
ecvok done01:23
rflemingdid you get into recovery mode?01:24
rflemingI think you have to go to 'advanced options' then recovery01:24
rflemingtharkun, working out for you?01:25
rflemingecv, do you know if your laptop has something called Discreet Graphics?01:26
rflemingecv, looking at the hardware, it appears it might01:26
ecvthank you guys that fixed it01:26
ecvi was able to install 384 back01:27
rflemingsweet01:27
ecvyes rfleming, its got an intel and an nvidia01:27
Bashing-omecv: Not fixed : We do want that old old driver replaces with the 384 version: https://www.geforce.com/drivers .01:28
rflemingecv, OK, now that you're booted normally, everything is working out?  If you go to Drivers you can make sure they're there01:28
ecvi have "prime" showing on nvidia-settings, howerver I get bad tearing when running a game01:28
rflemingecv, you may have to change the profile from intel to nvidia01:28
ecvit's set to nvidia01:28
alear2222hey how are you01:29
ecvBashing-om: where did genii get that my recommend version is 340? I don't see that one in the list01:30
ecvactually 384.90 is among the recommended ones01:31
tharkunrfleming: I had to dust off some of my old knowledge on interfaces I adapted it to the new nomenclature and it does work. I get a ip on the computer but I am not sure if that is working ok with the router. Is there a way to test the nic directly on ubuntu?01:32
Bashing-omecv: I "thinK" he missed up on the 9 seroes (legacy) as opposed to the 900M seroes . // tearing .. wayland not to settled down yet. see: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2365449 . Maybe a help .01:32
ecvthank you Bashing-om01:33
tharkunrfleming: the ip addr ls does report an ip and route -n and ip route ls both report the appropiate routing tables yet no connectivity so far.01:33
rflemingtharkun, that's strange.  So even though you have a valid IP address for the network you wish to be on, you have no connectivity?01:34
Bashing-omecv: Let is all know how it goes . We all have a lot to learn here .01:34
Bashing-omis/us*01:34
tharkunrfleming: exactly. I logged into the router and it says no device connected.01:34
cuddlesquidwould anyone be so kind and help me setup accesslog in lighttpd, my first issue i cant even access /var/log/lighttpd even with sudo permission is denied01:35
rflemingtharkun, you could use netcat01:35

tharkunrfleming: I tried directly a local ip nc -vz 192.168.1.72 which is up and running and I get No route to host.01:36
ecvBashing-om: sure will :)01:37
rflemingtharkun, what does 'ip route show' show you01:38
tharkunrfleming: 192.168.1.0/24 dev enp1s0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.65 |linkdown01:39
tharkunThat is the relevant part docker0 interface is also down yet I haven't set it up yet.01:40
rflemingso the link is down01:41
rflemingtharkun, can you pastebin /etc/network/interfaces?01:41
tharkunrfleming: sorry I can't I would have to copy it alltogether but it is fine. Trust me on that piece of info.01:42
tharkunip addr ls and ip route ls reflect exactly the info I asked for the nmcli to set up.01:43
tharkunOk I just figured that there is no nmcli programm running.01:43
rflemingtharkun, I'm just wondering if you have auto enp1s0 in interfaces01:44
rflemingas that will turn up the interface on boot01:44
tharkunyes01:44
rflemingand this is 16.04 lts01:44
tharkunyes01:45
* rfleming didn't think 16.04 had that naming01:45
tharkunIt does turn it on upon boot but it seems to be awfully wrong. I spotted a typo on interfaces let me fix it and see what happens.01:45
rflemingtharkun, what happens if you sudo ifup enp1s001:45
Bashing-omrfleming: enp1s0 >> systemd naming .01:46
tharkunrfleming: the command is accepted and no error is reported01:47
rflemingtharkun, http://paste.ubuntu.com/26061772/01:48
rflemingtharkun, whatever your gateway is, change to it01:48
tharkunBashing-om: yes a pita when you are halfway there between the previous nomenclature and the new one.01:48
tharkunrfleming: the gateway is 192.168.1.254 what do you mean change to it?01:48
tharkunI get no local connectivity so far.01:48
rflemingdoes 16.04 use netplan?01:49
Bashing-omtharkun: Yes. agreed . converting from the prior upstart scripts/means to that of systemd, a big change .01:49
rflemingtharkun, real dumb question... but is your nic plugged in?01:49
* rfleming is confused as this is a simple issue01:50
tharkunrfleming: I took the machine took two steps back and the router moved with us. I believe it is firmly connected :)01:50
rfleminglights are blinky blinky01:51
tharkunrfleming: no leds on either side neither on the router nor on the j45 connector.01:51
ecvBashing-om: I got all the checks positive and though I wouldn't swear by it, I think it worked :)01:52
ecvat least the game feels less choppy now, well less tearing01:53
tharkunrfleming: I took the cable out and connected it to this old lady and no blinky blinky on this piece of hw. Can we conclude that the router ports are dead?01:54
ecvcan't check that guy's video since I don't have an account. Also if you could thank him I'd appreciate01:54
Bashing-omrfleming: ' arp -a ' all fields are sane ?01:55
Bashing-omecv: Outstanding .. will in that case add you note to the forum thread.01:56
ecvis this video supposed to play smooth? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xkNy9gfKOg Mine feels a bit choppy but I'm not sure I'm seeing tearing01:56
Bashing-omecv: I see what it looks like . be aware on this work station I have no audio .01:57
ecvit's mute01:57
rflemingBashing-om, it's tharkun with the issue01:58
ecvI usually prefer not to register if I don't have to...01:58
rflemingecv, yes, but makes me sick :)01:58
Bashing-omecv: the test is smooth to me .01:59
ecvit's smooth for you? hm01:59
ecvshould I turn the quality slider all the way up in nvidia-settings perhaps ?02:00
rflemingecv: do you have the option to use GNOME on Xorg?02:00
rflemingSorry, Ubuntu on Xorg02:00
tharkunrfleming: The other alternative so far is to set up wireless networking from cli yet I am no expert specially since there is no nmcli to handle all the wpasupplicant connectivity. Any resources you know of or should I just lmgtfy.com that.02:00
rflemingthat way you can test if it's wayland or your driver02:00
ecvrfleming: how to check?02:01
rflemingecv, https://askubuntu.com/questions/961304/how-do-you-switch-from-wayland-back-to-xorg-in-ubuntu-17-1002:02

ecvthank you02:03
rflemingBashing-om, now we wait02:05
rflemingtharkun, I don't know much about setting up the wifi from cli02:05
rflemingsorry02:05
rfleminganyone know how to fix Firefox form colour mangling with dark themes?02:06
tharkunrfleming: never mind wireless from the cli is a black art not as hard as compiling cups from source but indeed something out of the beaten path. Thanks for your time and support.02:07
templetonHi all, is anyone familiar with adding DNS servers to Ubuntu?02:07
templeton17*02:07
tharkuntempleton: who manages your interfaces?02:07
tharkunnetwork manager or are they static?02:07
templetonI see resolv.conf is managed by systemd, but not sure how to add a DNS server02:07
templetonnetwork manager02:08
templetonI added the DNs servers with NMCLI to my wireless interface02:08
templetonthen restarted02:08
rflemingtharkun, sorry.  It's straight forward02:08
templetonbut still not working02:08
ecvrfleming: I don't have that cogwheel in my login screen02:08
rflemingtempleton, you have to modify /etc/systemd/resolved.conf02:09
tharkuntempleton: if you edit resolv.conf network manager will reset it to the info it hass you need to either use nmcli to instruct network manager from the cli or use the graphical interface to do so.02:09
templetonAhhh02:09
templeton/etc/systemd/resolved.conf looks promising02:09
templetonI must have goofed somewhere with NMCLI. it seemed to add the namservers fine, saved and restarted but still is not working02:10
tharkuntempleton: dig +trace @8.8.8.8 yahoo.com02:11
tharkunThat should tell you a piece of information or two that can help you have a certain view of what is wrong.02:12
jakeunltd@templeton did you get your interfaces configured at /etc/netplan/??02:12
tharkunfor the sake of sanity if you have enough clients setting up your own dns server is not such a pita02:12
jakeunltdit's a config per interface in yaml format02:12
templetonNot sure about netplan02:13
templetonJust connected with Gnome network-manager02:13
tharkunjakeunltd: @ is reserve for channel ops no use on irc the simple nick works best02:13
templetonto wifi02:13
tharkun;P02:13
jakeunltdwelcome to the world where ifconfig / iwconfig is dead02:13
ecvrfleming: I used several methods found on a forum and I found out I'm not using Wayland but X11, what now?02:13
templetonI have  DNS server and a bunch of CentOS and RHEL 7 VMs that work fine02:13
jakeunltdsounds gook tharkun02:13
templetonthis is my first Ubuntu (laptop)02:13
rflemingecv, Oh, interesting.  I don't know why you're getting screen tearing02:14
tharkunjakeunltd: Your welcome. Also most irc clients have tab completion you may try it also.02:14
jakeunltdI got a Lenovo Yoga for my Ubuntu Laptop this time. Ran Ubuntu since 5.0402:14
tharkunjakeunltd: Bragging. rotfl02:14
ecvrfleming: is wayland sort of an X server replacement ?02:14
rflemingecv, yes.02:14
=== allizom1 is now known as allizom
templetonrfleming: I just got the Lenovo Yoga as well!02:15
ecvrfleming: I'm not sure it's tearing anymore, maybe it's just choppy, not sure :S02:15
templetonThats what I'm trying to get to use my DNS server hah02:15
rflemingecv, try this https://askubuntu.com/a/85801902:15
tharkunecv: wayland is the new graphics interface for linux. As I recall it is way lighter and has many advantages over X unless your usual wm is not supported any more :(02:15
rflemingecv, or are you using 17.10?02:15
ecvtharkun: sounds exciting02:16
jakeunltdtharkun: the problem I ran into was wayland and display-link dont play nice yet.02:16
ecvrfleming: yes, 17,1002:16
jakeunltdThey're not going to support it until an LTS of Ubuntu using wayland02:16
tharkuntempleton: if your computers are using dhcp force the dhcp server to feed that ip to them and thats is.02:16
templetonI've added my dns server to /etc/systemd/resolved.conf, doesnt seem to work though.02:16
ecvtharkun: is it piped like X? can you use it over SSH?02:17
tharkunjakeunltd: I am still running X and headless so no contact with wayland yet.02:17
templetonComputers are getting DHCP from my router, but I could not find a way to add a local DNS server02:17
templetonTP-Link02:17
tharkunecv: ^^02:17
templetonMaybe I should have setup a DHCP server while i was at it...02:17
tharkuntempleton: Sorry no TP-Link around but google for the piece of manual you are missing from your hw.02:17
rflemingecv, do you want to use hybrid mode (switch back and forth between intel and nvidia)?02:17
tharkuntempleton: :D02:18
ecvtharkun: yes? sorry I don't remember much about this all, maybe I asked silly question02:18
rflemingecv, This guy goes through a real thorough answer. https://askubuntu.com/a/94173502:18
tharkunecv: ^^^02:19
ecvrfleming: not really. I think intel would be nice for the few times I use the laptop on battery but not really02:19
ecvrfleming: thank you02:20
rflemingecv, hopefully this guys answer will really help you out02:20
tharkunrfleming: Thanks again I will take the hw to a different site and test cable and nic there. I have no more diagnostics tools around. Have a nice $DATE :)02:22
rflemingtharkun, cheers!  You're welcome and good luck!02:23
templeton*sigh* okay I got it working02:31
templetonno idea what actually fixed it though02:31
templetonI changed.. a lot02:31
templetonWorked fine after restarting systemd-resolv, just not sure what I change was the fix. I had been restarting resolv.service02:32
templetonThanks everyone for the help -- definitely pointed me in the correct direciton02:32
templetonDont understand why there are 15 places to update name servers in Ubuntu and no idea which one is really being used.. Felt like I was going mad for a minute02:37
templetonanyway.. The ThinkPad Yoga 14 is awesome and everything worked out of the box with Ubuntu. so that's nice02:37

afidegnumhello, anyone using xpad on ubuntu xenial ? mine doesn't launch anymore meanwhile i had lots of notes saved i neeed to revise06:16
alkisgafidegnum: run it from a terminal to see if it shows any errors06:20
ducassesharkasdf: from what i can see, that looks good. a drive can still fail even if smartctl gives no indication, but it's usually a good indicator.06:20
afidegnumalkisg: no error shown06:20
alkisgafidegnum: and it just doesn't launch?06:21
sharkasdfcan i point to the /dev/sda1 in the boot file or something so that it finds the hdd?06:21
afidegnumthe xpad icon appears on the launcher for few seconds then dissapear06:21
thyriaenI bought an X1 Carbon ( 2017 ) and installed Ubunutu on it which works great but when i shutdown the system it remains in a somewhat strange state - everything is off but the power indicator still shows that it would be running - and i cannot turn it back on again either ( i have to hold down the power button to cut the power and then restart )06:22
alkisgafidegnum: I'm not using xpad, but it might have broken settings. The usual paths for settings are ~/.config/xpad or ~/.xpad , try moving the config directory aside to see if it works with clean settings06:22
afidegnumok, thanks, let me check06:23
alkisgsharkasdf: the "did not authenticate" message could mean that you had secure boot disabled, and at some point you enabled it again in the bios, while you don't have signed kernels installed. Did you do anything related to bios settings before that happened?06:24
lotuspsychjethyriaen: did you try sudo halt -p06:26
thyriaenlotuspsychje, no - is that worth a shot ?06:26
lotuspsychjethyriaen: just as a test what system does06:27
lotuspsychjethyriaen: also try F1 at shutdown process to see text based, whats happening06:27
sharkasdfalkisg: i havent touched the bios ever. i just powered down removed the battery and held the power button to reset. im going to see if that works06:27
alkisgsharkasdf: right, that's the same as bios reset, so you probably re-enabled secure boot there06:27
alkisgsharkasdf: go to bios and disable it temporarily, to see if it boots06:28
thyriaenlotuspsychje, alright will do that and report back :P06:28
lotuspsychjethyriaen: good luck06:28
sharkasdfok, im currently running smart check and its running, better than before06:28
afidegnumalkisg: is there a way to find the error generated log by xpad ?06:30
cfhowlettafidegnum, run it from the termianl06:30
cfhowlett*terminal06:30
alkisgafidegnum: in general, programs log to ~/.xsession-errors, but since it doesn't show it to the terminal... hard to tell. Didn't clean settings help?06:30
afidegnumcfhowlett: that's what i did06:30
afidegnumalkisg: cleaning the settings helped, but i want to recover some notes06:31
thyriaenlotuspsychje, it does the same and unfortunatly i could not see any textoutputs06:31
alkisgafidegnum: you'd need to have some programming background to dive more... using strace or recompiling the program with debug options etc06:32
sharkasdfalkisg: i cant even get to the bios f2/del before it just shows 'selected boot image did not authenticate'. the smart disk check doesnt show up anymore06:32
sharkasdfI can load it with f2 though06:32
binaryhermitis ubuntu's default mail server exim?06:32
binaryhermitif so, https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/no-patch-available-for-rce-bug-affecting-half-of-the-internets-email-servers/ if not, ignore me06:33
afidegnumalkisg: yes i have some programming background but what to move is the issue06:33
sharkasdfalkisg: i disabled secure boot but now i see grub>06:34
alkisgafidegnum: for example, if you put back the config folder, and run `strace xpad`, you see the system calls, and maybe one of those can give you a hint06:34
alkisgsharkasdf: it sounds like you had different bios settings when you installed, and different now. For example, maybe you had uefi enabled and now you switched it off and put it to legacy mode06:36
alkisgsharkasdf: by removing the battery, you restored all bios settings...06:37

thyriaenlotuspsychje, ok - brb :)06:45
alkisgsharkasdf: it's also possible to try the "recover grub" routine from the live cd, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#Fixing_a_Broken_System06:46

pavsI have ubuntu 14.04 on a server, the OS drive is on a 500gb ssd. I would like to create several 5gb chunk of partitions on the OS drive live and mount them. Is it possible? Filesystem ext407:51
auronandacepavs: if you are resizing any partitions you will need to do it from another environment (not the same one you want to resize)07:54
pavsok got it.07:55
Neo1I got this error http://prntscr.com/hg7n4207:56
alkisgpavs: are you sure you need partitions and not file-based images?07:56
Neo1who know how to fix it? m-a prepare doesn't create symlink07:57
Neo1I file log I see this error http://prntscr.com/hg7nq507:58
Neo1ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid.07:59
Neo1         include/generated/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing07:59
Neo1        Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it07:59
pavsI basically need folders with size limit. I am exploring several options, like docker volume, diskquota, partitions, not sure whats the best way to go.07:59
Neo1I a few times reinstall and can't install07:59
alkisgpavs: you can create files with dd, and mount them like they were partitions, without bothering to resize your real file system. Much more flexible.08:00
alkisgpavs: these files can also be "sparse", meaning they'll only take real size when you write to them08:00
pavsok that sounds like what I need. how do I start / research08:01
alkisgpavs: create sparse files: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sparse_file#Creating_sparse_files08:01
alkisgpavs, then you just run mkfs.ext4 /path/to/file; mount /path/to/file /path/to/mount_dir08:02

Ben64Neo1: you should gain more experience before jumping into advanced things08:07
Neo1Ben64: I'll learn shell and LAMP, node.js and others web-dev stack on virtualmachin, but for desktop it's windows because windows work very fast and without lag08:09
Ben64surethats your choice08:09
Neo1a 3 years ago yes ubuntu was faster windows, but now windows 10 very fast work really faster than ubuntu08:09
Ben64not really08:09

Neo1alkisg: for me not, I've been using windows for 3 last year and know some app, know menu folders, do in windows all fast, in ubuntu all slow08:15

topi`I have one package in state "ri" when listed with dpkg -l ... how is this possible? It means it's meant to be removed (I removed it via dpkg -r foo) but at the same time it is still installed?11:04
topi`another question... how can I rectify it? I.e. is there a dpkg command that would do what the first letter says (r = pending for removal)11:04
topi`hmm, it seems that "dpkg --pending --remove" would remove that package11:09

SitaraSo, hi everyone. I have this old Packard Bell EasyNote laptop, Win Vista running on it. For whatever reasons let's say I cannot entirely wipe it off off it's Windows for now, so, do you think using a live USB would be my best shot to use Ubuntu on this machine without modifying/damaging any of it's original OS?14:24
auronandaceSitara: a vm is another option14:25
simonizorWow... LXQt is so broken on 18.04 daily right now.  I dunno how you push an update that breaks so many deps at once lol14:26
simonizorhttps://u.teknik.io/z7DgL.txt14:26
topsterSitara: Does it at least hjave USB2.0?14:26
BluesKajSitara, whynot use gparted live cd to shrink the Windows partition , then create an ext4 partition for Ubuntu14:26
simonizorpcmanfm-qt has been broken for like a week, now this... SeemsGood lol14:26
Sitaraok, auronandace, thank you!14:26
Sitaratopster, yes it does, it's 3.0 it doesn't have :)14:27
TC`hi, does anyone made it ubuntu work with dell XPS 9360 with Dell TB16 dock ? (ethernet and usb) Video works fine, but not anything else.14:27
TC`ubuntu 16.04.3 with 4.13.2 kernel14:27
topsterSitara: Shouln't be a problem then. But ... don't you want to use custom applications without installing them again and again?14:28
SitaraBluesKaj, that is an option I have considered, of course, but as for now I would like to explore other options which may involve NOT touching the hard drive :P but thank you! ^^14:28
Sitarahere, topster, you read my mind! on a large enough USB stick, can't I save stuff and just don't have to install it all over and over again?14:29
leftyfbsimonizor: 18.04 is still under develipment14:29

BluesKajVms have their problems on older slower hardware, Sitara, give it a try but bare metal is less troublesome14:30
Sitarahehe, BluesKaj, ok, I will take your advice in good care! :)14:30
topsterSitara: You could install in on a USB device.14:31
topsterMaybe use a USB device to install it on another USB device (which is big enough)14:32
Sitarahmm, topster, could be, could be! that way it could run alongside Win without me partitioning the hdd, right?14:34
topsterCorrect. But Keep in mind that you can access your Windows NTFS hdd. And of course may write dataon it if needed14:35
topsterBut in general you do not need to touch your Windows HDD for that14:35
topsterShould be safe14:35
Sitaraawww, awesome, thankfully this old lappy has barely two usb ports, enough to make the trick! ^^14:36
auronandaceSitara: be sure to install the bootloader to the usb rather than your harddrive14:39
topsterauronandace: Good point14:40
PTNapivoskiDetach HDD to install14:40
PTNapivoskiI think it is easyer...14:41
BluesKajSitara, resizing a partition is not difficult or dangerous as long as you follow instructions https://www.lifewire.com/use-gparted-to-partition-hard-drive-220569314:45
BluesKajthat damn partition magic has scared off more people from managing their partitions safely than any app I know of.14:47
Sitaraoh, BluesKaj, I know, hehe, I have done that myself in the past quite a few times. It's just that this is an old hardware, it isn't entirely mine, I just use it oftenly and I want some kind of a, on-the-go thing to alter as little as possible14:48
Sitarabut thank you very much! it's a good point, indeed14:48
BluesKajSitara, well, good luck :-)14:48
Sitaramay the force be with me! *smiles*14:49
BluesKajactaully older BIOS ands HW is easier to install linux on than the newer UEFI /GPT and associated partitions14:51
Sitarahah, ok!14:55
TC`hi, does anyone made it ubuntu work with dell XPS 9360 with Dell TB16 dock ? (ethernet and usb) Video works fine, but not anything else. THE FIX IS TO DISABLE THUNDERBOLD SECURITY IN BIOS. And it will work.15:05
Sitarahas any of you tried the LiLi USB Creator ?15:06
BluesKajSitara, try rufus15:08
BluesKajif you're on windows15:09
Sitarayep, I've gone through tutorials @ ubuntu.com, Rufus came up :P15:09
BluesKajSitara, i used it successfully on W715:10
PTNapivoskiMe too...15:11
Sitaraok, BluesKaj, that helps; I don't think there's gonna be any problem with Rufus on Vista, as it works from XP onwards :)15:11
BluesKajanyway, BBL, stuff to do for an hr or so15:11
Sitarabut googling I ran into this LiLi and it also looks interesting15:12
PTNapivoskiI use Rufus on Windows 7... It works fine...15:12
PTNapivoskiI used it to test Ubuntu, Debian and Fedora...15:13

bored_gourdI've tried downloading the tar.gz from the Ubuntu packages website for Zesty but there's no scripts to make and install and make is also not installed on the desktop right now16:54
mutantebored_gourd: what's inside the .tar.gz ?  it might be a kernel module, so that would be "modprobe"/"insmod" to load it16:59
bored_gourdmutante: Makefile, README, src/17:04
bored_gourdUnfortunately, I don't have make installed :|17:04

wligtenbergI just installed 17.10 on my new system, and I have two issues. 1) I cannot unlock the disk encryption, because the screen has frozen. (I can circumvent that by booting recovery, entering the code, and the resuming the normal boot.) and 2) the gnome session freezes after login. I think both issues might be caused by me using the binary nvidia drivers (which I need).18:33

NitrigaurUbuntu 16.04, nVidia 384.90 After update my ubuntu-desktop uses software window compositing, which almost immediately pushes the CPU to 100%, which makes the system unusable. Any way to force compiz to use my GPU? My i3 session does not suffer from this issue. It only arises when using the std. ubuntu-desktop.19:30
wligtenbergmmm, I am trying to use Play On Linux to install a game, and it seems that all wine windows are just a tiny line. I cannot maximise them... Any tips?19:39
yommNitrigaur: i had a similar issue a while ago and reinstalling the nvidia driver fixed it for me19:39
wligtenbergmmm, just winecfg seems to work fine...19:42
Nitrigauryomm, did you just use an apt-get line, or did you use the restricted hardware panel?19:42
Nitrigaurwligtenberg, what kind of GPU are you using and what game are you trying to run?19:42
wligtenbergNitrigaur, nvidia 1060 using prop driver, trying to install gw2 using POL. (I managed to do that before, on different hardware...)19:43
edisonbulbUbuntu Software really shouldn't list snaps. Most of the snaps I've tried to install have some sort of error during installation.19:43
yommNitrigaur: I built from the nvidia installer19:43
Nitrigaurwligtenberg, wg2?19:43
Nitrigaurwligtenberg, gw2? What game is that?19:44
wligtenbergnitrigaur, Guild Wars 2 :)19:44
Nitrigaurwligtenberg, what version are you trying to run (what is the source of the package? (i.e Steam/ GOG, GG)?19:45
wligtenbergNitrigaur, the install script has the option to just download the installer from guildwars2.com19:47
Nitrigaurwligtenberg, I see... Try to bring up POL's console. Do you see any errors?19:48
NitrigaurIf not, try running the game from the command-line, by changing the Wine profile environment variable and running the game from within the bottle directory of POL.19:49
Nitrigauryomm, I have done a dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-384, which should amount to reinstalling the driver. Let's see if that one works...19:51
wligtenbergNitrigaur, I see something about TrueType fonts, ntlm_auth < 3.0.2.25 invalid gpu override and something about getsystemtimepreciseasfiletime19:53
BluesKajyomm, the next time there are nvidia driver module upgrades they won't apply to your driver and your gpu system will break19:54
Nitrigaurwligtenberg, that sounds like a recipe to me. Try updating the ntlm_auth if there is an update available. This invalid GPU override sounds a bit more serious though... Did you install the POL before changing video cards by any chance?19:56
Nitrigaurwligtenberg, try going into Wine_Config and set up a virtual desktop of a resolution that this game expects to see. That might work.19:57
wligtenbergNitrigaur, the wine_config window is also basically a line :)19:58
Nitrigaurwligtenberg, I have exactly the same GPU as you :-)19:59

TJ-ThomasCrown: as pavlos says; the file is corrupted (size 0 bytes!)21:38
ThomasCrownPavlos: TJ: Alkisg: I am going to reboot and see if it clears up my other erros.21:41
pavlosalive876: /root permissions are 700     sudo -i, become root, then look at /root21:42
alive876i can't become root, i have to let a user run app in root dir21:45
pavlosalive876: why dont you place the app in some other dir (/opt, /usr/local/bin) and then give +x for others21:46
Sleakertrying to use debootstrap on 17.10 right now against a custom built repository, I'm using --no-check-gpg and it's failing to get past the InRelease file which doesnt' exist in my custom repo.22:07
Sleakerthis behaviour used to work, but doesn't appear to be working any longer.22:07
Sleakerany ideas on this?22:08
TJ-Sleaker: do you have a log of what's going on? maybe add "set -x" to the top of /usr/sbin/debootstrap ?22:13
SleakerTJ-: yes, it tries to scp the InRelease file (my repo is not authorized so doesn't have one) and immediately fails.22:13
Sleakerit's no even trying to get the Release file.22:13
TJ-Sleaker: the code in /usr/share/debootstrap/functions::download_release_sig() should fetch the Release file in that case22:14
SleakerTJ-: this is all I get in the debootstrap.log: https://gist.github.com/ISInminkler/57a419fa895a0b5efcc3c692b38ba33022:15
Sleakerthis is the command I'm running: debootstrap --verbose --no-check-gpg --no-check-certificate --variant=minbase --include=ubuntu-minimal,tasksel,language-pack-en --arch=i386 trusty /tmp/tmp-cache ssh://isiupdate@update-staging.isicentral.com/opt/repository/isi/archive/15.11.6/trusty22:17

oerheksfrib, clean up firefox and start FF again, you will lose settings & plugins https://www.cise.ufl.edu/content/firefox-and-chrome-data-cache#delete_firefox_linux22:22
SleakerI guess I could try and manually comment out the inrel block since it seems to be bombing22:22
oerheksthere are tons of other pages howto remove cache and config22:22
TJ-Sleaker: like I said, add "set -x" so you can trace the entire sequence and see arguments22:22
friboerheks, thx22:23

TJ-debootstrap is a shell script22:25
TJ-I add it to the top of /usr/sbin/debootstrap if I'm debugging22:25
Sleakerkk22:25
TJ-then run it with something like "debootstrap .... |& tee /tmp/debootstrap.log"22:25
Sleakersticks on the same line without any better output :-/22:26
TJ-You should be seeing every line that is executed22:27

SleakerTJ-: nothing gets shwon for about 3 lines of just 'exec exec exec'22:30

friboerheks, didn't work22:33
Sleakeroh sorry I'm on 16.0422:33
Sleakerlast LTS22:33
Sleakerthought I was on 17.1022:33
friboerheks, i tried opening firefox in safe mode also and it still doesn't display pages properly22:34
fribit seems to be text related, pictures load fine22:34
ShutterFoxfrib: whats your problem in firefox?22:34
Sleakerlooks like 14.04 doesn't try to get the inrel file, so this was definitely a change that broke some thing.22:34
Sleakermight be fixed already though22:35
lafleurdubienI received notice from Google that machines from an IP address under my control were participating in a UDP Flood DDoS attack targeting Google IPs.  I have fail2ban and ssh auth logs.22:35
lafleurdubienWhat exactly should I be looking for in the logs, though? I can read line-by-line but any advice would be much apperciated!22:36
TJ-Sleaker: if you've "set -x" you should see something like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/26067509/22:36
oerheksfrib, can you show us a screenshot? imgur.com or the latter22:37
SleakerTJ-: I do. like I said mine bombs right after the three execs and your line 17122:37
Sleakermy version has incorrect syntax for the if statement on whether the inrelease file was scped or not.22:37
Sleakerie: it's always returning true and getting into the inrelease code, rather than trying to download the release file.22:38
TJ-Sleaker: in just_get() ?22:38
TJ-Sleaker: looks like both file:// and ssh:// suffer from the same bug22:39
Sleakerthe 'if get "$m1/dists/$SUITE/Inrelease" "$inreldest" nocache; the <-- always true22:39
Sleakerwell that's a bummer.22:40
TJ-Sleaker: right, because get() calls just_get() which doesn't return scp's exit code, it just hardcodes return 022:40
oerhekslafleurdubien, netstat -nulp to see what process is looking, https://serverfault.com/questions/269556/udp-flood-attack-linux-server22:40

oerheksalive876, users without priv should not install packages.22:59
TJ-alive876: you could do it in an unprivileged LXD container first, then copy-out the files22:59
alive876is it possible to have priv and not be root?23:00

JoeRWIs it a known issue that some of the icon themes in 17.10 such as "Hicolor" are missing icons like the "Calculator" icon? Or is it just a bad Ubuntu install on my end?23:15
Fenhlhello! Is there a way to tell cron to wait for the network to go up before running @reboot jobs?23:24
mutanteFenhl: if not cron, there might be the alternative to use systemd timers for this. a unit like that would be able to wait for network23:24
Fenhlso far I've only found an alternative way of running something at startup, a systemd service, but that doesn't seem to come with the same error report emails23:24
mutantethere is some weird thing where you have classic cron syntax but then it converts it into systemd timers23:25
mutanteFenhl: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd/Timers#MAILTO  "Several of the caveats can be worked around by installing a package that parses a traditional crontab to configure the timers. systemd-cron-nextAUR and systemd-cronAUR are two such packages. These can provide the missing MAILTO feature. "23:26
alexasi have a thinkpad led indicator blinking all the time, think it is related to bluetooth use, any way I can disable this indicator?23:28
Fenhlmutante: interesting. This seems to be a replacement for cron itself. Do I need to remove cron before installing this?23:29
mutanteFenhl: i am not sure, i just happened to see this the first time myself the other day23:31
mutantebut that's also why i remembered it, heh23:31
Jordan_UFenhl: You want features that are best implemented using systemd directly. I would recommend making a normal systemd unit / service then following https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd/Timers#MAILTO just to add the feature of sending mail on failure.23:32
TJ-alexas: there may be a node under /sys/class/leds/ where you can control it23:34
alexasTJ-: can you elaborate please of how I can controll it by, by editing the file?23:35
FenhlJordan_U: that seems like a more straightforward solution, thanks23:36
TJ-alexas: you can check the current triggers and brightness using something like "for n in /sys/class/leds/phy0-led/*; do [ -f $n ] && echo "$n=$(cat $n)"; done " ... and write to the "triggers" node to change what can activate the LED23:38
Jordan_UFenhl: You're welcome.23:40
alexasTJ-: thanks, I should not forget to try this out when I finish this one thing am doing at the moment.23:40
TJ-alexas: there's kernel documentation about LED control at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/leds23:40
alexasTJ-: aha, great - thanks for reference23:40
TJ-alexas: the easiest way, I think, is to set the brightness to 0 with something like "echo 0 | sudo dd of=/sys/class/leds/<DEVICENAME>/brightness"23:42
alexasTJ-: I don't see my bluetooth led there, although it probably named otherwise23:43
TJ-alexas: it might not be presentd to the OS - it might be just hardware controlled23:44
alexasTJ-: right, although I think otherwise23:45
