[00:02] lamefun: wouldn't make much sense to have Windows packages in the Linux archives [00:05] how do I use apt-clone across arch's (clone was from x64 install and restore is hopefully going to be on 16.04.3 powerpc) [00:07] donofrio: I'm not sure that's possible, especially if you make use of dpkg-repack [00:08] I used apt-clone so far to create the gz output file just got done burning 16.04.3 powerpc dvd [00:10] TJ-: to compile for Windows without having to boot it? [00:10] lamefun, try out wsl is works with visual studio or so they say.... [00:10] oh missread that [00:11] lamefun: I guess I was misunderstanding what you meant by not having packages; I thought the archive has the required cross-platform *build* tooling but not applications [00:13] it looks like it only has gcc but not libraries (like SDL, Qt, etc.) [00:23] I use Xubuntu, and I'm wondering if there's a way to find out what percentage of Ubuntu flavors' users use Xubuntu. [00:25] PlainDave: there used to be a Popularity Contest application but I think it got dropped [00:25] PlainDave: it was opt-in though and I think not many people used it, so the results weren't very useful [00:25] ah, okay. too bad. I was just curious. [00:54] PlainDave: http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/ might give a hint tho. [00:55] Is there any PPA or something with MinGW extra packages? I tried to compile basic stuff like OpenSSL and zlib, full of bugs :( [00:58] krytarik, cool. thanks. [01:03] lamefun: there's a possibly useful guide here http://retroshare.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Ubuntu_cross_compilation_for_Windows [01:04] I get this: -L/home/lamefun/Projects/tremulous/build/root/lib/libzlib.a -lz while building OpenSSL. [01:05] ld: cannot find -lz, because zlib CMake installs it as libzlib.a and not just libz.a, and zlib ./configure is not autotools so it needs extra manual work... [01:05] lamefun: do you need libz-mingw-w64 ? [01:07] also openssl, libogg, libvorbis, SDL2, OpenAL, lua, libjpeg, libcurl and others [01:31] hello, good day. I've been playing around with Docker containers and I'm trying to make a container receive public ip via dhcp (just like a vm when in bridge mode), any ideas? I tried several methods but none work.

I opened compizConfig settings manager and found this screen: http://imgur.com/FCKJPrvl.png. I clicked enable grid, but the key combinations indicated don't seem to work. What am I missing? [02:03] `ps aux | grep compiz` doesn't show any compiz running, so maybe it's just not in use? === binaryhermit1 is now known as binaryhermit === hfp_ is now known as hfp === xerox123_ is now known as xerox123 === finalriposte1 is now known as finalriposte === Aleksander is now known as alxd === led_ir23 is now known as led_ir22 === k0de54 is now known as kode54 === ueberall is now known as uebera|| [02:37] ok, for some reason my user cannot connect to the VPN I know works. It was working at one point, then I started testing an ansible playbook/role to setup the config. Now the user cannot connect to the profile even if I set it up manually. The VPN profile with the same settings works fine on another laptop and on the same laptop with a different user. Any idea what files/settings need to be wiped to resolve this? [02:40] leftyfb: what's the error when that user tries to use it? [02:54] Hey all. I'm having an issue getting Gnome or Unity logins working with NFS /home, and I'm wondering if it's a known issue. ssh'ing in works fine. If I use an .xsession with xdm or choose the Openbox session under LightDM that's fine. But Unity and Gnome throw tons of errors in syslog and bail out with NFS home. Users with a non-NFS home, no such issue. [02:54] This is with brand new user accounts, so everything's being populated on first login. Is there an issue with named pipes or locking or some such silliness? === Dragonslicer is now known as Dragnslcr [02:56] rofltech: NetworkManager[1203]: nm-l2tp[13609] Timeout trying to establish IPsec connection [02:56] NetworkManager[1203]: nm-l2tp[13609] Terminating ipsec script with PID 13675.

Nice to see you again. :) [03:14] I'll go off and watch something with the wife, and maybe the question will have percolated a bit. [03:18] There's a Ubuntu machine that I want to hibernate and move to a different desk. I don't want to shut it down because it's in the middle of doing some very very time consuming processing. [03:19] However, I never configured it with a swap partition because I thought I'd always have enough RAM for my purposes. [03:19] I haven't thought about the need to hibernate. [03:20] The root partition uses up the entire SSD and I can't add a swap partition to it. [03:20] Now I wonder if I can use a USB 3 flash drive and put a swap partition on that. [03:21] And whether the computer *could* boot from a hibernation state from the USB flash drive. [03:22] k_sze[work]: swap file [03:22] You could add a swap file [03:22] but doing hibernation with a swap file isn't supported, no? [03:22] sure it is === r0Oter is now known as r00ter [03:26] hi all. if i install ubuntu 17.10, can i upgrade directly to the next LTS when it comes out? or will i have to go trough all the intermediate releases in between? [03:26] The machine is on 14.04, btw. [03:33] @viktor01330, 18.04 is the next LTS, so you'll be able to go directly to it. [03:34] @viktor01330, you should double check me, but I'm 99% sure that if you were on 16.10 and wanted to get to 18.04, you'd have to go through 17.04 and 17.10. [03:39] JoshuaD: going to install 17.10 now. i didn't realize that 18.04 was next in line anyway. and then is can change from intermediate to LTS, right? actually i just wanted to switch to gnome faster... [03:44] @viktor01330 I believe so. You also could've done a `sudo apt-install ubuntu-gnome-desktop` [03:44] apt list | grep to find a package. I just did apt list | grep gnome to find that one. [03:44] *sudo apt install ubuntu-gnome-desktop. Ignore the extra - in there [03:46] ffffff [03:47] the guide to enable hibernation with swapfile still requires a reboot to make it work. [03:47] which defeats the whole purpose of me trying to enable hibernation *now*. [03:49] If it requires reboot anyway, I'd rather do an offline resize of the root ext4 partition and add a real swap partition. [03:49] * k_sze[work] facepalsm. [03:55] JoshuaD: okay. Yes, i could have, but not completely sure if that would cause issues in a future upgrade. also, i wanted to do a fresh install for other reasons as well.

I'm running 17.10 with Gnome and Wayland on a Precision 5520, and I'm having lots of problems with the cursor jumping around to the edges of the screen when I use the touchpad. [07:55] Are there any good ways to fix this? There are a lot of threads online mentioning switching from synaptics to libinput, but 17.10 comes installed with libinput [07:56] It's definitely not a hardware problem because it doesn't occur in Windows on the same machine [08:08] jyc: have you tried if you see the same behavior in x11? [08:09] ducasse: haven't tried yet, I can try when I get back to the computer. is there something I might be able to do if it changes in x11? (aside from switching back) [08:11] hi - my firefox isn't playing mp4 ... it just asks where to download them ... what do I do to fix this [08:12] I am using ubuntu 17.10 [08:14] jyc: not that i can think of. the big problem with wayland is that by design there are few/no config files, everything is left to the compositor to handle. so if the compositor doesn't have an option for what you need, you're out of luck... [08:15] nrdb: might need ubuntu-restricted-extras? [08:15] ducasse, how can we check use x11 instead of default ? [08:15] nrdb: it's been years since I even saw an mp4 file ;-) [08:16] ducasse: yeah, it is pretty irritating :/ [08:17] gordonjcp, there is no such package [08:17] nrdb, go in about:preferences and change the default app for mpeg-4 [08:17] nrdb: probably not, any more [08:18] nrdb: Try entering "sudo apt install gstreamer" in terminal and install all packages/dependencies. Then restart. That should fix it. :) [08:23] lol i use X11 i didnt know it [08:25] jluc: try 'loginctl show-session c2 -p Type' [08:26] jyc: especially since the gnome devs are so fond of removing customization options, but that's a rant for another place ;) [08:30] JoeRW, I install "gstreamer1.0-plugin*" and that fixed it thanks [08:30] nrdb: Woot woot! === aykut_ is now known as aykut === semeion is now known as mnemonic [09:05] good morning [09:05] help me please [09:08] ask first azureus [09:09] i installed ubuntu on acer es1-132 stirage emmc, but no bootable device [09:09] storage* [09:10] azureus, installed how [09:10] refind [09:10] grub not appear [09:10] azureus, is this a mac [09:10] no linux [09:10] only [09:10] azureus, is the computer a mac [09:10] no [09:11] azureus, why are you using refind [09:11] pc [09:12] why not boot, nor does grub appear [09:13] azureus, why are you using refind [09:14] because it does not boot the system [09:14] azureus, refind is not the typical tool to write to externa; boot items [09:15] so how do?

[11:36] yes [11:37] my only choice is "En" [11:37] just like windows [11:37] kbr0n: I dont know windows [11:37] only linux [11:37] so just read the instructions [11:37] it will ask you for it [11:38] it asks about it during installation [11:38] you blind?? [11:38] no it does not, it justask for language, but it does not change keyboard layout [11:38] yes it does lol [11:38] it does after or before language and even lets you test it [11:38] so why does it write a q when typing on a key ? [11:38] I'm installing 16.04 [11:39] yes, theres a field you can test all keys before continuing [11:40] so you will change it later okay [11:40] after installation you can change it too [11:40] its a convenience for people with not good eyesight like yours hehe [11:40] Rico: Should look something like this: http://landoflinux.com/images/ubuntu_1604_lts_06.png [11:41] But as has been said, you can change it after installation too. [11:41] yes, but typing hidden passwords in qwerty on an azerty keyboard just sucks [11:42] true, so either start over or pick a temporary password that doesn't conflict. [11:42] :( [11:43] I did not have this choice adrian_1908 (related to your png) [11:43] Doesn't matter now, stop being a negative nancy and get on with it.

I'm using Ubuntu 17.10. I have problem setting gateway for my wired connection to work. I've always used `sudo route add default gw IP enp2s0`, but right now it doesn't work. [13:19] I've downloaded net-tools, but it doesn't set the route for some reason, and using `ip route` or NetworkManager doesn't work as well. [13:22] Anyone could help? [13:27] hey guys, would someone here be willing to help this noob install an early release of JDK? [13:28] tulphoon: how about setting your static ip configuration in /etc/network/interfaces ? [13:29] Fenster: earlier? Do you mean old version or the newest? [13:30] sorry... early release from oracle (Beta version I assume) [13:30] tulphoon, network manager should ne picking up your ethernet connecrion, run, ip link ls, to make sure you use the correct systemd ethernet name [13:30] akik: The problem is, I want to set the gateway on my laptop, my school's network forces traffic through their gateway, and setting it with route was ideal. Because after restarting or just suspending the laptop, the route was restarted. [13:30] trying to remedy an issue and it is suggested to try this newer version of JDK [13:31] BluesKaj: I'm using the correct systemd ethernet name. [13:31] Fenster: Have tried to find ppa? [13:31] akik: So I don't want that to be permanent. [13:31] akik: I've had Ubuntu 17.04 before and it was working correctly. [13:32] l0llip0p, I think so.. I found some instructions about adding the PPA and that worked, but it still installed an older version [13:33] is there a way to choose which early release to install from the PPA? [13:33] Fenster: To be honest. I don't know [13:33] tulphoon: when you say it doesn't work, it doesn't get added to the route table? [13:34] tulphoon, so are you using NM or a static IP set in the interfaces file ? [13:34] akik: Correct. I remember, when running `sudo route add default gw 192.168.0.9 enp2s0` twice, it would say, that the File already exists. [13:34] Fenster: maybe you can try to find deb pakage of older version and try install that one? Thats the best adwise I can give to u :( [13:34] When it was working correctly, right now it just runs the command and doesn't return anything. [13:34] or snap [13:35] BluesKaj: I'm using NM i guess, I didn't set any static IP. [13:35] tulphoon: usually when the command works, it doesn't return anything [13:35] akik: Yes, but when the entry was already there, it would return, that something is already set as default gateway. [13:35] tulphoon: "route -n" shows you the routing table [13:36] is there a way to see the packages offered from a repository? [13:36] akik: Checked that already: 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.252.0 U 100 0 0 enp2s0 [13:36] Which isn't correct. [13:36] tulphoon: i wouldn't try to use both network-manager and manual config at the same time [13:38] Fenster: well using apt: apt show pkg_name |grep Version [13:39] tulphoon: unless you've set in network-manager not to touch routes [13:39] tulphoon: network manager has an option to add your own routes, better use that one instead of manually typing commands [13:39] tulphoon, try, dhclient, in the terminal to see if the ethernet resets the connection [13:39] Edit connection => edit routes, ignore automatic routes and add your own [13:40] Im guessing there is no apt-get for these pre-releases [13:42] Where can I get guidance for migrating ifcfg to netplan? My Ubuntu upgraded several times since 14.10 up to 17.10 and it still show network interface as eth0 it became quite a mess and networking no longer intialise properly [13:43] I tried installing netplan package but it says it misses directory and configs in /etc/netplan [13:44] Is there a way to make a program use Wired Connection? [13:44] Okay, nvm. [13:45] How can I reload the routing table? [13:45] What is the proper path/process to migrate such an incrementally upgraded system to the new networking tools and systemd processes with netplan? [13:45] I've set the routes in NetworkManager right now, but they don't get added, maybe restarting the connection will help. [13:47] leagris, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Netplan [13:47] tulphoon: yes, you need to click on the connection to activate it again [13:47] tulphoon: you don't need to "disconnect"; just click on the connection again while it's already connected [13:47] Okay, it set something. [13:55] akik, I suspect he should setup static IP and DNS in resolved.conf and disable NM [13:56] static IP in the interfaces file [13:58] well my network menu says it has unmanaged interfaces [13:59] leagris: is this a server or a desktop installation? === SimonNL is now known as SimonNL_Afk [13:59] it is a desktop with server-like install in that I assign it dual stack static configs [14:00] statis IPV4 and IPV6 [14:00] Eh, so just a desktop with 2 static IPs [14:00] Why not use network-manager then, and remove anything else like ifupdown settings [14:00] yes, static IPs and local DNS resolver [14:01] Because I want the network to start and stay active before I enter a desktop session [14:01] Network manager does that properly [14:01] As long as you check [x] this connection is for all users [14:01] ok, network-manager has icons on my desktop top bar [14:02] it says it has eth0 and eth1 but they are greyed out as unmanaged [14:02] leagris, I tried netplan, but turns out it's not required if one installs ifupdown and configures the /etc/network/interfaces file and /etc/systemd/resolved,conf, but I'm prejudiced about NM :-) [14:03] DNS in /etc/systemd/resolved,conf [14:03] leagris: simplify your /etc/network/interfaces leaving just auto there, and delete /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules [14:03] leagris: this will make your system like a typical desktop, which is what it is [14:04] * BluesKaj shrugs [14:04] Well, that's what ubuntu defaults to [14:04] No point in suggesting things other than the defaults when there's no reason [14:04] Typical /etc/network/interfaces: http://termbin.com/seml [14:07] well does it risk breaking everything if I delete /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules that has hardware network devices declaration here? [14:07] You can just move it aside. It will rename your eth0 to enp1s0 or so, which is the default nowadays. [14:08] When using the defaults, it's much easier to get and give support [14:13] it is now a cluster of bugs [14:13] can not restart networking [14:13] It's easier to reboot,when you change udev rules [14:17] I set up a macvlan interface, so now I have 2 public ips, now how can I tell the apps wich connection to use? (eth0 and eth1 ) [14:18] eg. I can ping -I eth0 or eth1 but how would that work for everything else? === jackNemrod_ is now known as jackNemrod [14:33] Hey, wondered if someone could help. I've removed a key from ~/.ssh/authorized_keys but I am still able to log in with that key, so you have to restart sshd for it to take effect or something? [14:33] do you* [14:34] worth a shot === jackNemrod_ is now known as jackNemrod === jackNemrod_ is now known as jackNemrod [14:46] good afternoon [14:47] help me please [14:47] i cannt install refind on ubuntu [14:47] thank you alksig and BluesKaj, rebooted and it is pretty much ok. Still has resolv.conf not really good at startup but I will find my way now [14:47] hi. I cant get past the login screen anymore. when I enter the user password it looks like it wants to login. goes black. and returns to password prompt. same happens when I want to login as guest [14:50] leagris, resolv.conf file is managed by /etc/systemd/resolved.conf now [14:51] howdy [14:51] my UTC is wrong.. and i can't get my time to update correctly . UTC is reported by timedatectrl to be Sat 2 am when in fact is Fri 2 pm .. any ideas how to fix this ? [14:51] ubuntu says ntpdate is obsolete and shoudl use ntp instead but i can't get it to work . should i use ntpdate instead anyway ? [14:56] DolphinDream, this might apply http://freelinuxtutorials.com/quick-tips-and-tricks/quick-tip-change-timezone-in-linux-in-different-ways/ [15:01] hi all -- anyone know how to add file search into the gnome-shell search? [15:02] Hi everyone, other than the weekly newsletter and obviously ... checking. Does Ubuntu have some kind of mailing list of new releases / critical information such as critical bugs etc? [15:03] Is this the correct place to go? https://lists.ubuntu.com/ [15:03] rantic_work: ubuntu-security-announce [15:03] https://usn.ubuntu.com/usn/ (specifically about security issues) [15:04] BlueSkaj having a system incrementally updated since long, probably earlier than 14.10. Started using Ubuntu since 3.04 back in 2003 probably. Some updates did not go without lots of fixing, system had lot of customizations. Networking stuff was a big change. Package management I was used to the old apt-get... su much changes. A Miracle it still works now at 17.10 [15:06] leagris, no clean installs, since 2003? [15:06] dpb1: Thanks [15:06] clean install when I changed my PC in 2009 [15:07] that's still a lot of yrs :-) [15:08] had to go hoops to avoid unity because I could never get it work properly with Compiz E-Zoom and stayed with Gnome the whole time [15:11] leagris, I've been a KDE guy since '05 ...tried all the other 'buntu DEs, but always went back to kde [15:11] I think I preferred Unity to the current Gnome desktop [15:12] is there a way to get rid of that annoying "swipe up" thing when you go to unlock the screen? [15:12] Well, Gnome2 was ok. Kde2 was also. Used it alot. [15:12] And before that I was an afficionada of Windowmaker [15:13] Never found again a desktop so beautiful and blazing fast responsive. [15:13] I never really liked KDE [15:14] everything seemed to be such a faff in it [15:14] "oh, you want to adjust your mouse tracking speed? Sure, here's 47 different sliders that adjust all sorts of things" [15:15] That's my favorite part about KDE is all the available customizations [15:15] leagris, does your pc have UEFI or BIOS? I'm just curious about what yr the change over took place [15:15] gordonjcp I was educated to Linux back in 1998 with Suse. Back in the day. Everything including mouse setting had to be dealt with config files. [15:15] gordonjcp, faff ? [15:16] leagris: nonsense [15:16] My PC has a standard bios [15:16] right [15:16] leagris: mouse tracking speed was part of Gnome 1.4 at least [15:16] *Gnome 1.4's config [15:16] I always prefered Gnome. gmome-mm is simply the best C++ windows interface ever. [15:17] leagris: anyway, why are you talking about stuff from 20 years ago? [15:17] leagris: if I wanted to use an OS from 20 years ago, I'd use Xenix [15:17] leagris: or NeXTStep [15:17] QT requires a custom preprocessor for events. [15:17] oh, just that it is hard to adapt when you are used to one way of stuffs for years [15:18] I am getting old also. So thank you all for your help here. [15:18] so is there a name for that annoying "swipe up" screen lock thing in 17.10? [15:19] can anyone give me a clue as to what it's even called, so I can try to work out how to get rid of it? [15:19] So unity is going for good. So is that mag ubuntu-user. I get Linux mag these days [15:20] Gnome is fine and I like systemd I guess I can live with it. [15:20] people actually buy computer magazines these days? [15:20] Hey all. I'm having an issue getting Gnome or Unity logins working with NFS /home, and I'm wondering if it's a known issue. ssh'ing in works fine. If I use an .xsession with xdm or choose the Openbox session under LightDM that's fine. But Unity and Gnome throw tons of errors in syslog and bail out with NFS home. Users with a non-NFS home, no such issue. This is with brand new user accounts, so [15:20] everything's being populated on first login. Is there an issue with named pipes or locking or some such silliness? [15:20] gordonjcp, only 50 year old antiques like me. [15:21] I miss Byte. [15:22] Younder: you bloody children with your computer magazines [15:25]
