KsChoiceTJ-: Tried a different KB, no results yet00:01
arktvrvsDroidLinux93, yes some. check the appdb for specifics00:01
KsChoiceTJ-: nope, just your average a-z mixed with some !@#$%^&*00:01
Tex_NickDroidLinux93: Wine Application Database (AppDB) ... https://appdb.winehq.org/00:03
KsChoiceTJ-: Looks to be an issue with login00:04
KsChoiceI get in on SSH, no problem00:04
KsChoicethen I run login, enter with my name and password and that fails00:04

TJ-KsChoice: i wonder, does "journalctl -u systemd-logind.service" report anything?00:05
KsChoiceTJ-: Dec 21 18:03:28 ingiga-server-office systemd-logind[1197]: New session 34 of user sven.00:07
TJ-KsChoice: ok, try resetting PAM: "sudo pam-auth-update"00:09
TJ-KsChoice: if there are any changes it'll tell you and not change anything00:09
KsChoiceTJ-: I get a text UI in front of me whereI have to enable some of three PAM profiles00:10
TJ-KsChoice: also, check the permissions of your $HOME directory00:10
KsChoiceUnix authentication00:10
KsChoiceRegister user sessions in the systemd control goroup hiarchy00:10
KsChoiceCreate home directory on login00:11
KsChoiceTJ-: $HOME permissions are 755 for all users (We've tried all users, none can login on TTY, but SSH works fine00:11
TJ-KsChoice: OK, so this is a system-wide issue. Ctrl+C the pam-auth-update for now00:12
TJ-KsChoice: when was the last time TTY logins worked?00:13
KsChoiceTJ-: checking journalctl -f  shows pam_unix(login:auth): authentication failure; logname=sven uid=0 euid=0 tty=/dev/pts/0 ruser= rhost=  user=sven... logname sven, but uid 0? is that correct?00:13
KsChoiceTJ-: I don't recall the TTYs ever being used.. PErhaps at install time a few months ago00:13
Bashing-omKsChoice: TJ- Broken graphic's driver ?00:13
KsChoiceTJ-: I"m only using them now because I wanted to do some networking tests00:14
TJ-Bashing-om: server00:14
KsChoiceTJ-: Its a server...00:14
KsChoiceTJ-: I mean, there is no GUI on this thing at all00:14
TJ-KsChoice: OK, I'm trying to reproduce here, give me a few minutes00:14
KsChoiceThanks for the help!00:14
KsChoiceI'm just rather flabergasted here, I've never seen this issue before and I've seen things.. I've seen things...00:14
TJ-KsChoice: typing wrong password -> "login[30146]: pam_unix(login:auth): authentication failure; logname=LOGIN uid=0 euid=0 tty=/dev/tty3 ruser= rhost=  user=tj"00:14
* KsChoice has a thousand yard stare00:15
TJ-KsChoice: ... > "login[30146]: FAILED LOGIN (1) on '/dev/tty3' FOR 'tj', Authentication failure"00:15
KsChoiceTJ-: I get authentication failure on both correct and wrong password00:15
TJ-KsChoice: I know, but now we know what a 'good' system reports00:15
KsChoiceOk00:15
TJ-KsChoice: I think this is a PAM issue, for sure.00:15
TJ-the login path through PAM for ssh and tty is different00:16
KsChoiceTJ-: Yeah, I know that part, but that is about as far as my PAM knowledge goes00:16
KsChoiceI'm looking for a "tty" module in pam, maybe it is that easy, but found nothing yet00:17
TJ-KsChoice: when you ran pan-auth-update, was Unix authentication enabled?00:17
KsChoiceTJ-: yes00:18
TJ-KsChoice: OK, so I think that is correct. Here's what I see (on a desktop system) https://paste.ubuntu.com/26230150/00:20
KsChoiceTJ-: Can PAM log what exact module is failing (and best of all, why?)?00:20
TJ-KsChoice: yes, I was trying to remember how I enabled PAM debugging, hold on I'll check my notes00:20
KsChoiceTJ-: mmmm, I only have 3 options here00:20
TJ-KsChoice: that's fine, you don't have additional packages that desktop does00:27
TJ-KsChoice: does /etc/nologin exist?00:28
KsChoiceTJ-: no00:28
TJ-KsChoice: I've been trying to get pam_unix to honour it's "debug" option but so far failed00:34
lindoelioHey guys!00:35
KsChoicelindoelio: Hello there!00:37
s3v3r_b00ta00:43
TJ-KsChoice: seems like where-ever or however I add 'debug' to the pam_unix.so  entries, no additional logging occurs00:50
KsChoiceYay :)00:50
TJ-I even restarted the systemd-logind service00:51
KsChoiceTJ-: I'm kind of at the point of giving up here, unless anybody has an idea.. Google shows nothing, I've tried enabling logging as well without success, nothing worked.. I will just default to blaming systemd, which usually isn't that far from the truth anyway ;)00:51
KsChoiceTJ-: Thanks anyway for the help.. But at this point I really have no idea anymore and I'm basically ready to throw the towel in the ring.. The server works perfectly well for the rest and we never use the TTYs anyway00:52
KsChoiceIts more a "in case we need it" thing00:52
TJ-KsChoice: it's a weird one!00:52
TJ-KsChoice: I see others report the same issue but no-one adds a solution00:53
texlaHow do I open a directory in terminal00:59
kk4ewtcd directoryname01:00
TJ-KsChoice: is there an extra long failure delay set? "grep pam_faildelay.so /etc/pam.d/*"01:03
texlakk4ewt, No such file or directory01:04
TJ-KsChoice: also, are you using password login over SSH, or certificates?01:07
LoshkiTJ-: seriously. Is there a bug report somewhere?01:08
TJ-Loshki: for what?01:10
LoshkiKsChoice's bug, to which I thought you just said "I see others report the same issue"01:11
LoshkiTJ-: ^^^01:11
TJ-Loshki: no evidence of a bug yet; I still think it's a keyboard input issue01:11

LogicalDashI just switched to a Radeon R9 390x and it seems to work until I perform certain user interface interactions, notably trying to open the menu by clicking the dots on the bottom left. Then I get a black screen. What's broken?01:50
LogicalDashThe card seems to work fine in windows01:50
LogicalDashLooks like there's a new kernel so I'll upgrade and make sure that's not the issue01:52
LogicalDashRight, nope, this still happens on the latest kernel. I can log in, usually, and open a file manager, and browse around that a bit, but if I try to open anything more than that I get a black screen and the GPU spins its fans really loud in pulses02:02

slyrobotI am looking to buy an SSD M.2 to be precise. However I think they have some issues that needs addressing before they can be used properly ?02:16

slyrobotkk4ewt: My hardware supports a M.2 SSD with SATA3 however what I am not sure of the issues SSDs have with linux at times.02:37
northivanastanAppreciate your patience. I'm not aware of any driver issues around SSDs. Just make sure you are using the latest Ubuntu02:43
slyrobotnorthivanastan: Thanks northivanastan. But I was looking at some Reddit threads02:46
slyrobotAlso this URL : https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/ssd02:47
northivanastanThese are issues with SSDs in general - they tend to wear down very quickly if written to so often.02:49
slyrobotnorthivanastan: Okay. So they are sort of countermeasure that we can take to ensure better life ?02:49
northivanastanYep. Disable fragmentation, reduce disk-heavy operations, etc.02:51

guillecHello, can someone help me understand something basic about package managers. I am trying to install ruby but on my computer the latest version I see is 2.3.3 under "artful". On Ubuntu package manager website I see 2.5 but under "bionic". Can someone explain what these are ? And how can I get "boinic showing on my terminal. Thanks for any help"03:45

gbellinozWhat doesn't notify-send work from root even if DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is set?03:48
toothedamn, systemtap on ubuntu is still super out of date.03:51
tootheHow do I make noise about this? I already submitted a ticket.03:51
northivanastanguillec bionic and artful are codenames for ubuntu versions03:52
guillecnothivanstan ah ok, sorry learning. is there a way I can tell my system to pull from bionic ? via the /etc/source files? or is that not recommended?03:53
northivanastantoothe submitting a ticket and bug is really the loudest you can get sadly03:53
DroidLinux93Hello! Is Crossover better than wine or are both the same equally?03:53
northivanastanguillec you can do that, make sure you follow with apt dist-upgrade, but it isn't recommended.03:54
guillecnorthivanastan: thank you will do some research03:54
northivanastanDroidLinux93 Crossover has a lot of improvements, pretty much no bugs, but I don't think it's worth the money.03:55
northivanastanWine is good for most purposes, though the bugs do show.03:55

DroidLinux93They say roblox rating in wine is Garbage03:55
gbellinozOh wow, I said "what" instead of "why".03:56
northivanastanThen go with crossover, or a Windows VM03:56
gbellinozI've read a bunch of SO Q&As, and setting DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is supposed to be all that's needed to get notify-send to work from other users.03:56
DroidLinux93I wish there was a way to get android apps to run natively.. Roblox has a apk for that03:56
tootheI submitted a ticket months ago04:03
tootheand made noise months ago.04:03
gbellinozI have an idea... why don't I *not* spend 2 hours getting my special keyboard buttons to do exactly what I want just so that it can all not work next time I upgrade?04:32
gbellinozSplendid!  Way to prioritize your time and get wiser as you get older!  Certainly 5 times in one lifetime doing that is enough, yes?04:33

mplavsichello! I encounted a problem and maybe someone can help me fix it. I tried to build from source the newer boost/libboost libraries on 16.04, I followed the instructions but some of the dependencies (60-70) were not installed correctly. So I decided to remove all libboost* files from /usr/local/lib and the boost directory from the include directory. The problem is now that I tried to install the boost libraries directly through09:43
mplavsicthe console, but whenever I try to use libboost it says that my version is 0.0.0. Does anyone know how to fix this?09:43

onlyabyteYou could try downloading bleachbit09:55
alkisgkikimi: does this command exist in budgie? software-properties-gtk09:55
onlyabyteAnd run a APT clean - alternatively, you can run "sudo apt clean"09:56
onlyabyteNot sure if this is in budgie but you can go to "software & updates" and change your mirror.09:56
onlyabyteMy guess is that it is trying to use 17.04 mirrors for 17.1009:57
kikimionlyabyte, yes it has it.09:57
kikimiI run sudo apt clean10:00
alkisgThis doesn't help with mirrors10:00
alkisg(11:55:59 πμ) alkisg: kikimi: does this command exist in budgie? software-properties-gtk10:01
kikimialkisg, yes it exists. Ubuntu budgie is based on ubuntu10:01
alkisgkikimi: ok, run it, and delete everything that mentions "zesty" from that dialog10:01
alkisg(in the Other software tab)10:02
kikimialkisg, I did. Here is the th source list: https://pastebin.com/nwZHAXPK10:03

alkisgkikimi: E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/pdoes/gitflow-avh/ubuntu artful Release' does not have a Release file.10:03
alkisgRemove that one too10:03
kikimiok10:03
alkisgIn general that's a dialog where you can remove your broken repositories10:03
alkisgThose that produce errors10:04
alkisgkikimi: and of course there's the easy way of `sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*`, which removes all the custom repositories and only keeps the official ones10:05
kikimialkisg, here is the rsult of apt update: https://pastebin.com/8sD4asu910:05
alkisgkikimi: those require captchas, can you use paste.ubuntu.com instead?10:06
kikimialkisg, I still hace redundant stuff when running updates, like: W: Target Packages (main/binary-amd64/Packages) is configured multiple times in /etc/apt/sources.list:43 and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list:310:06

throsturhow do I reload /etc/environment? Just source? but don't I need to export each var?10:27
alkisgthrostur: this is read by pam, so you basically need to re-login10:30
throsturalkisg: so if I change /etc/environment during an installation script as root, I can't ever use those changes within the secssion? How do I make an env var persist?10:30
alkisgthrostur: define "persist" in more detail10:31
alkisgYou can of course source environment and export it10:31
throsturalkisg: persist as in, define it in one script, and it's still defined in every other script that runs under or after it10:31
alkisgBut the 'automatic' way that this file is used, is by pam10:31
alkisgScripts don't source environment, so you need to manually source and export it,10:32
alkisgall exported variables are inherited by all childs10:32
throsturwhat about followers10:32
alkisgWhat is a "follower"?10:32
alkisgThere are parent processes and child processes, I don't know anything about "follower" processes :)10:32
throsturlike... ./1 ./210:32
throstur2 follows 110:33
throsturI don't know what you would call this honestly10:33
throsturit seems logical to call it a follower10:33
alkisgProcess "a" calls "b" and then "c"10:33
alkisgIf process "a" has a VAR exported, both b and c will get it10:33
alkisgAs both are its children10:33
throsturso how do I make b export VAR to its siblings?10:33
alkisgYou can't10:33
throsturwhy not?10:34
alkisgBecause "a" can export variables for "c", not "b"10:34
alkisgSo "b" would need to tell "a" what to export10:34
throsturyou'd assume there to be some facility for that, otherwise this use case would require a to listen to b10:35
alkisgAn example is initramfs-tools10:35
alkisg"a" there is "init"10:35
alkisg"init" runs childs like "b","c" etc10:35
alkisgWhen "b" wants something in environment, it writes it to /tmp/conf and exits10:36
alkisgThen, "a" reads it and exports it for "c"10:36
alkisgThere's no facility, you need to have code in "a" or elsewhere in the system for that10:36
=== beaver is now known as evilnewbie
alkisgthrostur: man initramfs-tools and search for param.conf, it's the example I was mentioning10:40
alkisg              /conf/param.conf allows boot scripts to change exported variables that are listed on top of init. Write the new values to it. It will be sourced after an boot script run if it exists.10:40
alkisgSo "b" writes values there, "a=init" sources them, and then "c" can see them10:41
alkisgthrostur: btw, if you mention what you're trying to do, there may be better ways.10:42
throsturyeah, but my example is concrete, that is literally what I was trying to do10:53
throsturI ended up editing someone else's code (a) instead repeating myself in b and c10:53

rikama_Installed mint yesterday, before install unplugged other drives (dualboot installation), installation went ok, but cannot dualboot. I think, win 10 was installed in legacy mode, and mint installed in efi mode, is this the problem?11:51
amosbirdhowever i can see it keeps reconnecting11:51
amosbirdNitrigaur: so what might be the cause ?11:51
Nitrigauramosbird, what Bluetooth stack are you using?11:52
amosbirdbluez11:52
Nitrigauramosbird, dis/ reconnects should appear in dmesg and/or syslog.11:52
amosbirdoh11:53
amosbirdhmm, i don't have the access now, will check it in an hour :311:53
Nitrigauramosbird, if you have any interesting logs, please pastebin them, rather than copy-pasting them into the channel, OK?11:54
amosbirdcool11:54
Nitrigaurrikama_, please clarify are you unable to boot Mint, or Win10?11:54
rikama_Nitrigaur, im am able to boot both of them, but only if I change boot settings from mobo11:56
rikama_Problem is that grub cant find the windows installation11:56
rikama_I did /sudo update-grub after mint install, but win10 wont show up11:57
Nitrigaurrikama_, that makes sense, since Windows doesn't recognize the command if installed in MBR (legacy) mode and called from EFI mode.11:58
srulii installed ubuntu-gnome on a laptop, i want to set different power options for "on battery" & for "plugged in" in regular power options there is no way to set different options, how can i achieve this?11:59
rikama_I thought, I should reinstall mint now without efi mode this time11:59
BluesKajHiyas all12:00
rikama_It is safe to wipe the linux drive now, since there are no changes in win drives?12:00
Nitrigaurrikama_, You might try installing a fake MBR into EFI and chainloading Windows from there, that way Windows thinks it's still in legacy mode. That might cause havoc on your partitions should you create another partition though.12:00
rikama_I can also reinstall mint, it is not a big deal i think?12:01
Nitrigaurrikama_, That would be the safest route indeed, but depending on what mobo you have, you might be stuck with PS/2 keyboard/ mouse during the install.12:01
rikama_Well I have 20 keyboards and mouses right here so wont be a problem12:02
rikama_I do the reinstall12:02
Nitrigaurrikama_, haha, a fellow sysadmin?12:02
rikama_Nah, just collecting too much stuff in my house12:03
Nitrigaurrikama_, oh, my ... (no comment.;-P ) . The obvious disadvantage is that you can have only 2 primary partitions in legacy mode, but since Linux does not care if it boots from a secondary or a primary partition, that should not really matter. If you have a need for more than 2 partitions, you could install LVM to take care of that.12:05
Nitrigaurrikama_, An LVM physical volume (PV) is seen as a single partition by the BIOS/ EFI and can contain many more Logical Volumes (LV).12:08
Nitrigaurrikama_, it takes a bit of planning during setup, but you can just plonk another HDD into your system and extend your LV onto that if you are in need of extra drive space. Very convenient. :-)12:09
NitrigaurUbuntu 17.10. Since upgrading from 17.04, my VLC player often crashes my system when viewing a video. I use nVidia propriatary drivers as supplied through Ubuntu restricted hardware.12:10

BluesKajNitrigaur, try MPV, it handles videos thet vlc can't play properly12:14
nagerstXenial pinning is fucked up. It keeps installing systemd even though i blacklisted it. How do i solve this?12:19
nagerstsame with gtk3-12:20
nagersti have set the /etc/apt/preferences.d/10pin properly and it works with trusty just fine.12:21
nagerstupstart is installed and running, yet systemd keeps coming back in xenial12:21
nagerstif i install anything gui related or even ncurses related the bastard keeps reinstalling itself on my system. I have also removed all rights in /etc/groups for systemd so even if it was there, it would not have any rights12:23
BluesKajnagerst, systemd has been default since 15.0412:24
nagerstyes but upstart is available as an option in the LTS and will be so until 202112:25
nagerstand upstart/systemd is not the problem. The problem is that apt, aptitude and apt-get ignores the pinning.12:25
nagerstSerious bug12:25
nagerstAnd being default does not make other options disappear. Look at desktops.12:26
BluesKajsystemd is default on 16.04 Xenial afaik12:27
nagerstBluesKaj: yes, but you can change it to upstart if you want12:27
nagerstXenial is the last version with upstart afaik12:27
BluesKajsince when12:27
BluesKajnever heard that one12:28
nagerstsince always12:28
nagersthttps://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=upstart&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all12:28
nagerstit works just fine12:28
nagerstlater versions wont have it... zesty has but it is not lts12:29
nagerstand thus no hwe12:29
* BluesKaj shrugs, so why are you worried about systemd, it works fine...not that I care.12:29
nagerstignore the systemd part. Why is blacklisting no longer working, that is the focus12:30
srulii installed ubuntu-gnome on a laptop, i want to set different power options for "on battery" & for "plugged in" in regular power options there is no way to set different options, how can i achieve this?12:30
nagersti have no intention of starting a systemd thread12:30
nagerstsruli: apmd for systems made on the p6 core or later. for netburst systems it is harder, but workable as you have to set the throttling manually.12:31
Tin_mansruli, i think the Gnome tweak tool has more power options than the basic options presented with "Settings"12:33
nagerstBluesKaj: If basic pinning no longer works, do you not consider that a major bug?12:34
BluesKajsruli, run kde/plasma. that will give you those options12:34
BluesKajnagerst, nope12:35
nagerstpinning had that bug in 2015, but it was fixed. Trusty does not have it, yet xenial does.12:35
nagerstBluesKaj: why not?12:35
sruliTin_man: i checked there nothing extra12:35
BluesKajdunno never used it12:35
sruliBluesKaj: kde/plasma, is that preinstalled or do i need to install it? is it command line config or gui?12:36

ubottuKDE (http://kde.org) is an open community that creates and maintains software including the Plasma desktop.  To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install  kubuntu-desktop », or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See  http://kubuntu.org for more information.12:36
nagerstBluesKaj: So if Xorg had a bug that prevented you from running nested sessions you would be fine with it if you didnt use it. Or if the kernel allowed for a root guest session if you typed in a secret command....12:36
BluesKajsruli,^12:37
sruliBluesKaj: i dont want kde desktop12:37
nagerstgnomorreah is fine, trust me. You harly feel it =D12:37
Tin_mansruli, looking at my settings compared to the Gnome tweak tool  there are several more settings, including "On Battery Power".12:38
Tin_manand "When Plugged in"12:38
sruliTin_man: not for after how long to turn off screen or sleep12:39
BluesKajnagerst, sorry nesting isn't something I even use, so you're asking the wrong person12:39
BluesKajsruli, too bad, have you even tried it?12:40
nagerstPinning is important. For example if you want to install a non-wacom tablet and use specific xorg drivers and thus pin the wacom driver to never install in any possible scenario (as it breaks the other drivers)12:40
sruliBluesKaj: tried waht installing kubuntu-desktop? i am not at the machine now, will be later12:41
BluesKajok12:41
rikama_Nitrigaur installed mint in legacy mode windows drive unplugged, ran grub update and everything is working just right now12:42

jk^my video card isn't nvidia13:09

hans_i'm looking for a recent paste with the text "FakturaLarsen",14:23
hans_pasted sometime yesterday14:23
Nitrigauramosbird, what does strike me as odd here is the OS mentioned: ArchLinux, which is a splendid distribution, but has only 1 thing in common with Ubuntu and that is that both distributions belong to the family of Linux.14:24
amosbirdoh...14:24
amosbirdwell, at least the bluetooth stack doesn't differ that much14:25
Nitrigauramosbird, ArchLinux has it's own support channels. The Wiki pages for instance are superb. A shining example of Open Source project documentation.14:25
Nitrigauramosbird, they also have their own channel, right here on freenode.14:26
amosbirdyup, in fact i asked there already :314:26
amosbirdi thought #ubuntu might also be helpful14:27
Nitrigauramosbird, it is not that I don't want to help you, but the huge difference between Arch and Ubuntu makes it quite hard to think along with you from behind the keyboard of an *buntu machine.14:27
amosbirdok. i didn't know it is related to distro14:28
amosbirdi thought only the bluetoothd is concerned14:28
NitrigaurI also run Arch, but right now, I'm booted to Ubuntu.14:28
Nitrigauramosbird, a general question: What generation of Bluetooth does this keyboard of yours sport? And does it match the generation of the receiver?14:30
amosbirdhow can I get that info ?14:30
Nitrigauramosbird, nothing strange to be seen in the audit logs?14:30
amosbird/var/log/audit is enmpty14:31
Nitrigauramosbird, which means that you are not running SELinux, OK, that simplifies matters a bit.14:31
amosbirdoh, ok :314:31
Nitrigauramosbird, don't get me wrong here, I love the features SELinux has to offer, but it can be pain to troubleshoot ;-)14:32
Nitrigauramosbird, you can get hardwareinfo about your host's Bluetooth adapter in the output of lspci and in more detail, in the /proc mountpoint of kernel-data.14:33
oerheksNitrigaur, help him in arch perhaps?14:34

mbntleftyfb, I am running 17.0415:38
leftyfbwhat errors/issues did you run into?15:39

mbntleftyfb, Perhaos someone installed this for 17.04 and can aleborate15:39
mbntelaborate15:39
leftyfbno. That might only mean at the time those drivers were release, that was the latest version of ubuntu at the time. They could quite possibly work with later versions of ubuntu just fine15:39
arorambnt: which amd card are you using?15:40
mbntleftyfb, "quite possibly" is not sufficient.15:40
mbntarora, AMD APU A8-7600 and an R7-240 Graphics card15:40
leftyfbmbnt: Yes, it is entirely sufficient. This is how things tend to work15:40

mbntarora, The new GPU pro ones15:41
leftyfbmbnt: what errors did you run into when you tried to install those drivers?15:42
mbntleftyfb, I do not want your help15:42

mbntleftyfb, Thank you15:43
TJ-mbnt: You're losing a lot of valuable expertise; leftyfb is one of our best helpers15:43
arorambnt: It will be hard to find someone using the same cards, most of the time, we learn by experimenting!15:45
mbntarora, It is documented that the AMD GPU Pro drivers do not install well on Ubuntu. I am hoping that something may have recently changed15:46

leftyfbmbnt: Please do not continue to post the same question repeatedly over your time here if you refuse to accept the help offered to you.15:56
mbntleftyfb, I am guessing that someone who did install the AMD GPU Pro drivers would have commented by now15:57
leftyfbmbnt: again, that's not how this works. Nobody here has installed every driver for every possible piece of hardware for all releases of ubuntu. But there's quite a lot of people willing and able to help you.15:58
* arora agrees completely with leftyfb ^^16:00
mbntleftyfb, https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/66v3r8/is_anyone_here_using_ubuntu_1704_with_an_amd_gpu/  It looks like no progress was made in the last few months16:00
leftyfbmbnt: this isn't reddit16:01
BluesKajmbnt, have you actually tried to install the correct driver or  are you afraid due other users issues?16:01
mbntBluesKaj, I have tried a few times16:01
mbntHence why I ask here is anyone has installed the AMD GPU drivers on Ubuntu 17.04 and up successfully16:02
BluesKajso what were the results , in detail would help, mbnt16:02
mbnthas anyone, rather16:02
tomreynmbnt: so install 16.04, the only ubuntu release officially supported by AMD for amdgpu-pro (as you read on the release notes) and see if it works out. if it doesn't, report a bug to amd.16:03
mbntBluesKaj, Sure, I get a message from the drivers that I have successfully installed it and get a blank screen at reboot. That is one variant.16:04
mbntAnywho, nobody successfully installed the official GPU here, at this time.16:04
hayshey guys, setting update-alternatives to python3 seems to break apt. specifically pyclean16:04
davecorewow16:04
haysthis is on xenial. just letting you know16:04
leftyfblol16:05
leftyfbhe didn't actually want help16:05
hayshttps://bpaste.net/show/5e344ca485d316:05
leftyfbhays: I wouldn't do that16:05
leftyfbput it back16:05
haysthe fix was to set python back to 2.7 as default16:05
leftyfbhays: if you want to use python3 by default, then set an alias for python to call python316:05
haysok, still seems like a bug to me16:06
haysalias is probably most reasonable workaround for me16:06
leftyfbhays: not exactly. You're telling the entire system to use an interpreter that most of that system wasn't written in16:06
haysthe system presents it as an alternative16:07
JonelethIrenicusI just added this ppa https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ubuntu/ppa?field.series_filter=xenial16:10
JonelethIrenicusi am not seeing thunderbird-trunk16:11
tomreynhays: the system allows you to run "rm -r /" - but that's not a good idea either, don't do it. meaning: not everything you can run or configure is definitely a good idea. i admit that update-alternatives could be misunderstood as allowing you to freely choose between all those options without breaking anything. that's not really so, however.16:11
tomreynJonelethIrenicus: which ubuntu release do you run?16:12
JonelethIrenicus16.0416:12
tomreyndid you run "apt update" (or similar=?16:12

tomreyndoes "apt-cache show" list the PPA?16:13
tomreynsorry, does "apt-cache policy" list the PPA?16:13
TJ-JonelethIrenicus: tomreyn The builds for thunderbird-thrunk failed, there are no binary packages available16:13
haystomreyn: its funny you don't see that as a problem. but i'm not really surprised16:13
JonelethIrenicusoh16:13
TJ-JonelethIrenicus: use the "Technical details" link to show the status16:14
JonelethIrenicusTJ-: good tip16:14
TJ-Sorry, "Package details"16:14
zzzwhat would be the quickest way to find out whether i'm sshing through eth or wifi? both on the client and the server's end16:15
haysif apt-get has a hard depedency on python2, it should be pointing itself to python2, not system python16:15
davecorezzz: traceroute the destination IP and see which path it takes?16:15
TJ-hays: it's caught in the middle of the 2.7 > 3.x transition, we don't want apt hard-coded to use python2.716:16
BluesKajJonelethIrenicus, are you trying a special edgy version? Because thunderbird is available in the repos16:16
leftyfbzzz: sudo lsof -i :2216:16
haysTJ-: the side effect of that is pretty severe; pretty bad software engineering imo, but its your decision. thanks for taking the time to discuss it16:17
auronandacehays: i think you mean that's canonical's decision16:19

kaddiheya, I have one more question about the bios issue in 17.10, from what I've read settings can't be stored and USB booting is disabled. But if I have a working OS on the machine, eg recovery partition from Windows, could I boot into Windows and "reset" the BIOS? Or is it messed up for all times and can never be written to again?16:41

DroidLinux93Help, I'm trying to lauch games in Steam like Stanley Parable, and Undertale and they crashing upon launch.17:22
DroidLinux93How do i fix this?17:22
tomreynDroidLinux93: there's #ubuntu-steam, but you'd actually need to contact the developers if the games dont work on platforms they list as supported (be sure to check that)17:25
LeevancleefBefore you write off the game as broken, check which version of Ubuntu you're running, and what GPU drivers you're using.17:26
DroidLinux93tomreyn its even having issues with Portal and such.. Valve games that does support linux fully17:27

zaspyou can add it by writing a custom script, but meh!18:55
en1gmai got to have it back and a guide i just found that tells me to get an app but app isnt in repo18:56
en1gmahow could they take that out? M.S. must have one that patent18:56
zaspi know how you feel.. in my case, I use MATE18:56
zaspyeah, I was really irritated about that too18:57
en1gmai like mate much better but ubuntu desktop i dont have that many hardware/networking problems18:57
oerheksopen in terminal ( as root) is part of nautilus-actions + nautilus-admin18:57
en1gmaahhh18:57
en1gmawell i want it back18:57

en1gmastill quicker then typing complete paths18:58
zaspdoes caja work well on ubunut?18:58

en1gmawindows 10 works perfect. i can authorize with the popup on phone and also revoke and get it to do it again18:59
en1gmawith ubuntu im in a world of crap when it does this18:59
en1gmaim still unauthorized when phone is connected to ubuntu with adb turned on18:59
en1gmai need in my phone18:59
en1gmafrom adb :)19:00
en1gmadont want to boot to windows.19:00
Zalieken1gma & zasp: You can still open a terminal at a location in nautilus. Hold shift and right click on a folder19:01
en1gmaZaliek ewwww lemme check19:01
zaspAh! that's neat Zaliek! I didn't know that19:01
ZaliekGnome devs changed a bunch of stuff...19:02
en1gmayou da bomb dude19:02
zaspyeah.. I guess thats why I went to MATE... i just like the old way better19:02
en1gmayea me too19:02
en1gmaill prob go back to mate when i get some time19:03
leftyfbuh19:03
leftyfbsudo apt-get install mate-desktop19:03
en1gmaok help on adb and adb keygen please19:03
ZaliekI love MATE, except the xp style open window switcher19:03
en1gmaneed to get in phone to continue work i was doing when i was authorized19:03
en1gmawhy am i al of a sudden unauthorized when i look at 'adb devices'19:04
zaspZaleik: you mean the Alt+Tab switcher?19:04
en1gmabrb. rebooting. adb help. just did an 'apt-get purge adb'19:06
zaspen1gma: I don't know anything about adb, but maybe you need to be root. Have you tried running it with sudo? IDK19:06
Zaliekzasp, No I mean the list of windows in the bar19:07
ZaliekI'd prefer windows 7 style switcher19:07
zaspyou can customize it to work like Win 7, that's how I have it right now19:08
ZaliekHow? I never managed to figure that out19:08
zaspI did it a while back too.. let me see19:09
ZaliekSince they ditched Unity I currently have no upgrade path19:10
JJBbyHow can i change my Caps lock key in the terminal to some thing else? (Cap locks--> ctrl) and can any one thing of a downside to that other than mistakenly hitting it?19:11
ZaliekGnome 3 is far too rigid and makes multi tasking infurating19:11
zaspZaliek: yeah, I never liked Gnome 3 at all.. I couldn't do Unity either.. I gave them both a fair chance, and went back to the old Gnome feel with MATE... (still trying to remember how I got the taskbar working right lol)19:14
ZaliekHmm vlc help channel hasn't been much help. I'm getting this error on apt upgrade. Cannot remove the offending package (vlc) and cannot resolve the dependency due to this error https://pastebin.com/Axjv8Mnj19:17
ZaliekCan't update my system or install/remove any packages19:17
ZaliekHow do I resolve this?19:17
en1gmaok still same problem with adb and "unauthorized"19:18
en1gmalike i say. this problem isnt happening in windows19:18
en1gmaim on a 1x connection through a hotspot from phone. i cant even surf to read19:19
Zalieken1gma, when does it deauthorize your phone19:19
en1gma2 more days and new data comes in19:19
en1gmaits random it seems19:20
ZaliekIn the middle of using it?19:20
en1gmalike i worked on phone through adb for last 2 days straight19:20
ZaliekOr when you disconnect the phone/restart the os?19:20
en1gmabut right before that i had same problem and i tried so many things to fix it i cant remember how i did it19:20
ZaliekBecause it works for me™19:20
hggdhZaliek: if you know what you are doing, you can --force-overwrite19:21
en1gmamine does it i think when i come back from windows or maybe if i shut ubuntu down and next day start up in ubuntu19:21
ZaliekI'd troubleshoot and try to figure out how to reproduce it. That will give you a better idea of what's wrong19:22
BluesKajZaliek, try sudo dpkg --configure -a, then sudo apt -f install19:22
en1gmayea im getting closer to figuring out the trigger19:22
hggdhZaliek: you then will be mixing files from two (or more) packages. If it breaks your system, you will have to collect the pieces by yourself19:22
en1gmahavent quite got it yet19:22
en1gmadamn. ok ttyl and i gonna suffer on this 1x hotspot trying to trouble shoot this.19:23
en1gmai would rather do it here19:23
Zaliekhggdh, At this point I would like to resolve the issue by removing the package that depends on the broken package (vlc)19:23
en1gmacome on someone got to know adb stuff. maybe if i join #android. brb19:23
Zaliekerm sorry confusing wording19:23
ZaliekI want to remove vlc, which depends on that broken package19:24
ZaliekBut I can't because it won't let me remove anything till I resolve the missing dependency19:24
BluesKajZaliek, you have to install cvlc properly first before you can remove it19:24
BluesKajvlc19:24
BluesKajso run the commands I posted above for starters19:25
en1gmaasking in #android right now. lets see what happens. they usually are "we are software only" channel ppl19:25

=== antony1 is now known as zasp
ZaliekBluesKaj, nope still complains about missing dependency19:28
en1gmajust fixed it19:28
en1gmai think in ubuntu you have to 'sudo killall adb' and not just 'sudo adb kill-server'19:29

ZaliekI'm working on it19:33
BluesKajppas are inherent causes of instability period19:35

zaspZaliek: jump to MATE mate!19:42

ZaliekI know there was other reasons for the switch too19:44
zaspioria: this is the first time I am hearing about budgie... it looks nice.19:44
zaspZaliek: you might like budgie since you liked unity19:44
NitrigaurUbuntu 17.10. Since upgrading from 17.04, my VLC player often crashes my system when viewing a video. I use nVidia propriatary drivers as supplied through Ubuntu restricted hardware.19:45

cobadgerThe startup disk I created using Startup Disk Creator shows up in the Boot section of the BIOS as "<null string>" and the system does not boot from it. Have wiped the thumb drive, formatted FAT32 and re-created the startup disk several times, both via startup disk creator app and in the command line. What should I do differently?19:52
zomaarSomething on my system has caused /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d to be created with "exit 101", what could it be?19:52
NitrigaurZaliek, were you addressing me when you mentioned "what killed my gaming install of ubuntu"?19:52
ZaliekI was referring to the problems you were having yes19:53
zomaarSomething on my system has caused /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d to be created with "exit 101", what could it be?19:53
Nitrigaurzomaar, what version of Ubuntu are you running?19:53
SircleI see "InRelease" when I do apt update. Whats wronge?19:53
ZaliekI just gave up, the proprietary drivers were completely broken if I used disk encryption19:53
NitrigaurZaliek, how did you fix the issues you were running into?19:53
ZaliekIn case you're using that, might be the cause19:53
ZaliekCPU usage would go through the roof, it would take ages to login, mouse would jump around etc19:54
NitrigaurZaliek, ah, so a re-install from scratch...Hmm, not looking forward to that, since the disk partitioning is quite complex on my machine, using both LVM and RAID1.19:54
ZaliekWorked perfectly fine without disk encryption19:55
NitrigaurZaliek, yes my Xorg CPU would also go 100%19:55
NitrigaurZaliek, yes I don't use disk encryption.19:55
NitrigaurZaliek, yet I don't use disk encryption.19:55
ZaliekDifferent problem then19:55
zomaarNitrigaur: 16.0419:56
ZaliekBut in general the proprietary drivers for nvidia are a steaming pile of bugs19:56
zomaarNitrigaur: According to Debian policy the file should be managed by update-alternatives19:56
zomaarbut it is just a file and doesn't belong to any package19:56
zomaarcould it be that the installer left it behind?......19:57
Nitrigaurzomaar, did you check that with apt?19:57
zomaardpkg -S19:57
zomaarNitrigaur: Do you run a 16.04 and do you have that file?19:58
NitrigaurZaliek, aye, but Nouveau is even less stable in my experience and I do some gaming now and then.19:59
ZaliekI had to go back to windows for my gaming computer19:59
ZaliekWas unfixable19:59
Nitrigaurzomaar, no, I run 17.10 right now, because I needed up-to-date application software. The way it's behaving feels like I'm running a beta or a release candidate and not a proper release.20:00
Seldonhi to all! Help needed here :-) Reading a guide for compiling the firmware for my wlan card, with the "make install" command I had a classic: "make[1]: *** /lib/modules/4.14.8-041408-generic/build: No such file or directory.  Stop." error. My problem is that I actually have installed the linux headers, but there is no build file inside the dir /lib/modules/4.14.8-041408-generic20:00
ZaliekEven a clean install was still broken, heck even a live cd broke the second I installed the proprietary drivers20:00
SeldonI installed this kernel from the mainline20:00
ioriaZaliek, because of  encryption, you mean ?20:00
ZaliekIt was back when 16.10 was new.. so a bit fuzzy20:01
Zaliektalking about it now I think it was unbootable with encryption, and unusably slow without it20:01
NitrigaurZaliek, I see... did you notice any strange lines in dmesg and/ or the audit log?20:02
ioriaZaliek, nvidia+   encryption might require to run sudo update-initramfs -u20:02
ZaliekThe problem with not booting was that the screen where you enter your password stopped accepting input20:02
NitrigaurZaliek, even on the CLI-console?20:03
ZaliekIt switched from the old terminal style to the fancy input box like when running on intel20:03
zomaarNitrigaur: Ah, yeah I expected as much from 17.1020:03
ZaliekSo I did a test install on another disk without encryption, and it was super laggy getting something like 1 frame every 3 seconds20:04
ZaliekAt the time I thought something was wrong with my GPU20:05
ZaliekSo I bought a new one20:05
ZaliekAnd that was broken too20:05
ioriaZaliek, what card and what driver ?20:05
zomaarNitrigaur: policy-rc.d is clearly present during bootstrap (system installation)20:06
ZaliekWell no sense troubleshooting it now. That install was overwritten a while ago20:06
ioriai see20:06
zomaarOr image creation, I don't know20:06
ZaliekMore like, Nitrigaur, I had similar problems20:06
NitrigaurZaliek, I also feared that something might be wrong with my GPU, but it does not crash while running i3, so I expect it is somehow linked to Gnome.20:06
zomaarIs there anyone here with a normal Ubuntu 16.04 install here who can check their /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d file for me?20:06
ioriaNitrigaur, 3D acceleration, probably20:07
ZaliekMy problems started with a kernel update20:07
ZaliekAnd for a while I could still use it with the old kernel, till ubuntu helpfully removed it one day20:08
Nitrigaurioria, do you have any suggestions for a work around that you know of?20:08
ioriaNitrigaur, sy, about what ?20:08
Nitrigaurioria, about the crashes I experience when playing video, during which Xorg maxes out at 100% CPU (all 6 cores).20:09
zomaarNitrigaur: That Nouveau or nVidia?20:10
ioriaNitrigaur, what ubuntu version and kernel ?20:10
Nitrigaurzomaar, nVidia20:10
zomaarOh20:10
Nitrigaurioria, 17.10, 4.13.0-21-generic #24-Ubuntu SMP20:10

Nitrigaurioria, in video player (not in browser) HW-ID: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP106 [GeForce GTX 1060 6GB] (rev a1)20:15
ioriaNitrigaur, what video player ?20:16
Nitrigaurioria, VLC mainly, but also affects SMPlayer20:16
ioriaNitrigaur, have yu tried mpv ?20:16
=== Menzador is now known as SantakkuAmerica
Nitrigaurioria, no, never heard of it. Is that a cmd-line video player perhaps?20:17

Nitrigaurioria, checking, if I fail to respond within 5 minutes, you know what happened ;-)20:20
ioriaNitrigaur, ok :P20:21
Nitrigaurioria, player works flawlessly and is lightning quick to boot. Now for full screen...20:21
Acheron-awhere can we talk about 18.04?20:22

zaspguys, have you heard of ubuntu-mini-remix? the stripped down ubuntu iso that used to be distributed a while back?20:23
Acheron-athanks20:23
ikoniazasp: was that an official release ?20:24
Nitrigaurioria, I'm still here, no crashes. Let me check top in tandem with playback...20:24
ikoniaI don't remember mini-remix as an official release20:24
ioriaNitrigaur, oky20:24
zaspikonia: not official, it was just some small team who stripped down ubuntu to it's bare bones (about 300 MB I think)20:24
zaspwhat I want to do is replicate what they did, basically20:25
ikoniazasp: ok ?20:25
zaspyeah.. so my question is... instead of starting with the ISO and stripping down, can't I start fresh and make my own live CD with only the core?20:26
zaspwhats the best approach to doing that?20:26
ikoniazasp: you can do what you want20:26
ikoniait's up to you how you manage your spin20:26
zaspyeah.. :P i was still typing my question20:26
Nitrigaurioria, Xorg stays nice and frosty at max. 5%, so whatever causes the issue here is common to both VLC and SMPlayer, but not mpv, which is odd, since from the description it seems that mpv is just another frontend to MPlayer...20:27
ioriaNitrigaur, yes, something like that, but it's a great project (if you ask me)20:28
Nitrigaurioria, mpv you mean? Or figuring out what caused the crashes?20:28
=== FestiveMouse92__ is now known as CodeMouse92__
ioriaNitrigaur, mpv :)20:29
BluesKajNitrigaur, I can testify that mpv is the best player I have used in a long time and vlc barely holds 2nd place20:29
Nitrigaurioria, the interface is as bare as they get, looks almost like pure X without any framework on top of it (like QT, Gnome and such)20:30
ioriaNitrigaur, right20:30
ioriaNitrigaur, wayland fault20:30
Nitrigaurioria, not so, I'm running Xorg'ed Gnome right now.20:31
ioriaNitrigaur, oh, yes .... sy20:31
Nitrigaurioria, no way for you to know, no need to apologise :-)20:32
Nitrigaurioria, this player looks perfect for my i3 sessions :-D20:32
ioriaNitrigaur, ok, always appreciated i3 users :)20:33
Nitrigaurioria, Love that no-nonsense wm to bits :)20:33
ioriaNitrigaur, yup20:34
Nitrigaurioria, I felt right at home with the commands used, since they are based on my favourite cli-editor: vim....20:34
silvianlong live vim :D20:35
ioriaNitrigaur, never had the heart to use it on daily basis20:35
Nitrigaurioria, I learned to use (and love it) while I had to set up a permanent monitor for Nagios and Cacti on an obsolete lappy. i3 was the perfect match for that.20:36
ioriai see20:37
NitrigaurThe laptop forces our department to pay attention to it's 80 dB siren whenever a service goes critical. Very handy >:-)20:38
bacteria_tomreyn: nice tip20:39
arktvrvstrying to build wine. wants x 32-bit devel files. which package are those in?21:03
ikoniawhy are you building wine21:03
ikoniait's in the repos21:03
ikoniaand there are PPA's that are reasonably well supported21:03
arktvrvsbecause an updated winetricks doesnt like 1.6.2, wants 2.x21:04
arktvrvsthe winetricks in 16.04 repos keeps whining about sha1sum mismatches21:04
ikoniaright, so look at the PPA's21:04
ikoniaand 16.04 winetricks is complaining about sha1sum missmatches it means it's not got the right checksum21:04
ikoniaso either that repo is out of date or you are not downloading to disk the same package as the repo21:05
arktvrvsfirst google result for "ubuntu wine ppa" is "THIS REPO IS DEPRECATED"21:05
ikoniaI'd address those issues21:05
ikoniaarktvrvs: well done on not even reading the data21:05
ikoniait's been moved to a new repo - that is listed on that first hit21:05
arktvrvs*i'm*  not downloading anything, winetricks is21:05
arktvrvsor it used to (?)21:06
ikoniabased on your inability to read more than 1 sentence of a page, I'm going to leave you to it21:06
oerheksmaybe the mirror was just in sync, but sum mismatches sounds not like a dependencie problem.21:06
arktvrvslol21:06
arktvrvsthats fine21:06
texlaHow do I find /path/to/Thunderbird for desktop icon21:07
arktvrvsanyway, i never said it was a dependency problem.  winetrick is pretty easy to install and use.  also dpkg has been barfing a lot lately21:07
ikoniatexla: it's normally /usr/bin21:07
arktvrvsso i figured hell ill just build and install to my home folder21:07
ikoniadpkg won't barf unless you've put poor packages on your system or you're unable to mange the system21:07
ikonia(which also counts as putting poor packages on the system too)21:07
oerheksi love linux errormessages, they always give a clue..21:08
arktvrvsive only used dotnet and obs-studio repos, everything else is stock21:08
texlaikonia, /usr/bin/Thunderbird: No such file or directory21:08
ikoniatexla: which thunderbird21:08
ikoniatexla: (lowercase T)21:08
arktvrvsyea i seem to remember that nick21:09
arktvrvss/that//21:09
texlaikonia, thanks small t worked21:09
Steristanyone know of a GUI program that can bleach free space without having to do the entire partition21:11
Dagronmasternautilus-wipe?21:13
Steristis that included with nautilus by default or add-on?21:14
zomaararktvrvs: I think no one has answered your question yet?21:16
zomaararktvrvs: In general i386 package are installed by affixing :i38621:17
arktvrvsi got an unfriendly response, but thats better than what i usually get here.21:17
arktvrvsanyway, trying to ppa thing21:17
ikoniano you didn't21:17
arktvrvsyou arent part of this convo :)21:17
ikoniayou got help - then got shirty quoting "the first google search" as if I was dumb/lazy21:18
zomaararktvrvs: The only exception that I know of is libc6-i386, which is installed by nvidia driver21:18
ikoniawhen it turns out you hadn't even read the first google search21:18
ikoniaso I refused to help any more - thats not "rude" thats' backing away21:18
arktvrvsikonia, i imagine you get that a lot.  as a former irc helper i know what this duty can do.21:18
ikoniayou get what a lot ?21:19
arktvrvsat anyrate, im putting the build on hold and trying ppa as per your recommendation21:19
arktvrvsa lot of "as if i was dumb/lazy"21:19
zomaararktvrvs: So most normal development packages would just be e.g. libc6-dev:i38621:19
ikoniaarktvrvs: then don't do it21:19
arktvrvsif i came off that way i apologize.21:19
ikoniano problem, appreciated21:20
arktvrvs:)21:20
arktvrvsanywho, i have had some odd troubles with dpkg/apt/one particular incident w/ synaptic21:20
arktvrvsso im a little upset about things atm.  the patience, it wears thin at times21:21
zomaararktvrvs: also I assume you have done build-dep but I am not sure what that would do.21:21
zomaararktvrvs: Also there is wine-devel (wine32-devel, wine64-devel) which contains a much newer version21:22
zomaararktvrvs: and then there is playonlinux which installs custom wine versions on request21:23
arktvrvsi have never actually used PoL, but i'll add that to the list of options21:23
zomaarwine32-development/xenial-updates,now 1.9.6-1ubuntu1 i38621:24
zomaarnot 2.0 yet21:24
arktvrvsright, my issue stems from winetricks specifically though.  and the version i had apparently didnt implement --self-update as i read21:26
zomaarDon't even know what winetricks is :).21:27
zomaarI think pol installed it by default or something.21:27
zomaarI had Guild Wars 2 installed using both a 64 and 32-bit prefix, was a bit hard with symlinks and all.21:28
zomaarGame didn't run very well but at least the 32-bit version started up.21:29
arktvrvswinetricks basically helps set up/manage prefixes.. or is supposed to.21:30
arktvrvsalso installs various softwares21:30
zomaarPeople were dumbfounded for a while with not being able to run 32-bit binaries on Linux anymore but I guess libc6-i386 solved that now.21:30
zomaarOh okay.21:30
energizerIn 17.10 how do I get a keyboard shortcut for "Snap window to left edge"?21:43
DagronmasterSterist:  it's a separate package21:47
SteristI see that now, trying to figure out how to use it. installed and rebooted but there's no new options available in settings or context menus21:48
SteristI see that bleachbit is available from synaptic and actually has a GUI and I'm pleased with that. however the app appears a bit esoteric21:51
oerheksmaybe gnome-tweak-tool is any help21:51
oerheks!info gnome-tweak-tool21:51

Steristhas anyone actually used bleachbit before? or know a channel I might find someone in who has21:53
energizeris there a tool that'll prettyprint nested list/dict but shorten stuff with ... so it fits in my repl for easy reading21:55
energizeroops wrong channel21:55
energizeroerheks: was that for me?21:56
oerheksenergizer, yes, i believe it is stored there, though i am still on unity 17.0421:57

matyyhey, creating a raid5 with mdadm with 3x4TB disks. First time ever creating a raid5, how long should it take? It estimates 7h, is that normal?22:25
Dagronmastermatyy: you can try raising dev.raid.speed_limit_min/max, but a big array is going to take time22:52
matyyok, thx Dagronmaster. I have time. I just feared it might be a problem.22:56
DagronmasterTake a look at dmesg.   It's possible you have a cable problem or something.22:56
DagronmasterBut if you're not seeing errors, then it's just a big, slow array22:56
matyythx. looks good. Well all the hardware is completely new so I hope so ^^23:00
