[00:04] does the key to my encrypted home partition get evicted when my laptop is suspended? [00:04] or at least when the lid is closed? [00:08] hi, the "host" command doesn't work on my laptop. I look at resolv.conf, and it says nameserver 127.0.1.1, despite the fact that I set 8.8.8.8 on my network connection in NetworkManager === precise is now known as precise|tinfoil [00:09] googling ["host" command] doesn't help much. Any idea what I should look at to fix this? [00:10] @kandinski which version of ubuntu are you using, and do you have anything else managing network settings on your laptop such as a VPN? [00:12] HP laptops is very hot! [00:12] literally. they are recalling batteries and sening tech to replace em. [00:12] @kandinski That looks like you are running resolution through systemd; you can check systemd-resolve --status to see actual nameservers in use. [00:13] tanubis: I'm using 17.04, and I use VPNs too, via NetworkManager, but right now I'm not connected to a VPN [00:14] (I know 17.10 is the supported one now, but I need to get work done before a trip, can't stop and upgrade) [00:14] did they fix bios killing bug in 17.10? [00:20] hey quick question, on .service files can i say uid instead of user? [00:27] @kandinski do you see 8.8.8.8 as a nameserver under systemd-resolve --status? [00:28] Hello everyone. [00:29] tanubis: I do, for link 2 (eth0) [00:29] I ave a ati mis r580 gaming x 8gb---- how do i install the drivers for it? -----how do i get the sound to play through hdmi to my tv? [00:30] I'm having trouble finding packages on ubuntu. I'm using 18.04, and http://packages.ubuntu.com is not turning up an obvious match for a "gtk3" search [00:31] TheLorax: gtk-3 [00:32] gtk+3.0 seemed to work on the commandline [00:32] but provides no match on packages.ubuntu.com [00:34] Had a major crash and burn with Basilisk just now. [00:34] Completely froze, a lot of errors in Terminal window [00:35] I have a ATI MSI r580 gaming x 8gb---- How do I install the drivers for it? [00:35] tanuki: there is no link 1, link 3 is wlan0 (same DNS server, as expected) and link 4 is vboxnet0 [00:36] hey quick question, on .service files can i say uid instead of user? [00:37] adman120: I would guess no. however, I did not read the man page, nor did I test it (which is pretty easy to do, isn't it?) [00:40] kandinski: vbox; Maybe ?? . See: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1624320 . [00:40] Launchpad bug 1624320 in systemd (Ubuntu) "systemd-resolved appends 127.0.0.53 to resolv.conf alongside existing entries" [Low,Confirmed] [00:40] Bashing-om: thanks, looking into it [00:41] Bashing-om: except that my resolv.conf looks like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/26336272/ [00:44] kandinski: Yeah, standard desktop network manager config . But you are attempting a bridge, no ? [00:45] I don't know what I'm attempting. I just installed standard ubuntu packages and the 'host' command stopped working. I do write code for a living, but I don't know that much about networking. [00:46] kandinski: systemd and netplan is a whole new ball game . I too do not know nuch about this new management system . [00:47] speedy__: they will install by default [00:48] the driver is called amdgpu [00:48] (this is starting ubuntu 16.04 lts) [00:48] tomreyn, how do i check?

[00:55] nothing happened.. [00:55] speedy__: are you talking to me? if so, nothing happened when you did what? [00:56] sudo lspci -k | grep -A3 VGA | grep Kernel [00:56] speedy@speedy:~$ sudo lspci -k | grep -A3 VGA | grep Kernel [00:56] speedy@speedy:~$ [00:56] Bashing-om: ta very much [00:56] speedy__: what happens if you just run "sudo lspci -k | grep -A3 VGA" [00:56] I need to cook for the fam now, but I'll come back to this later.

[01:05] tomreyn, Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS [01:05] loltroll: yes, if you also have intel-microcode installed (assuming you have an intel cpu) [01:06] I am trying to set the umask to 077 on my 17.10. When I create files on console it works normally but if I create one with a GUI editor it gets 644... I tried modifying the following files: /etc/login.defs, /etc/profile, ~/.bashrc. Do I miss something? [01:06] got intel but don't know nothing about microcode. [01:07] loltroll: from your desktops' main menu, select settings -> additional drivers, and make use "Using Processor microcode firmware..." is active [01:08] that's for kubuntu? [01:08] oh, nvm, found it. [01:10] billythekid: did you logout and in again? [01:15] tomreyn: yes [01:15] I'm reading about the "session optional pam_umask.so" [01:15] do I need to pass the parameter there instead? [01:19] billythekid: editing ~/.profile should suffice [01:19] dude I have it all over the place... :( [01:19] billythekid: also ~/.bash_profile if you use bash [01:20] in bash it works fine, from GUI it does not [01:21] billythekid: oh so in a virtual terminal you get the right umask but not using e.g. a graphical file browser? [01:21] exactly [01:21] billythekid: which graphical desktop and ubuntu release are these? [01:22] ubuntu 17.10, Gnome [01:22] Xorg [01:24] billythekid: maybe you also need it in ~/.xsessionrc [01:24] but i really dont know then [01:24] hmm thx let me give it a try [01:26] tomreyn: so basically put "UMASK 077" in ~/.xsessionrc right? === xubuntu is now known as Guest3890 [01:26] and then reload gnome [01:27] billythekid: it's lower case, everywehre [01:28] right only on /etc/login.defs is upercase [01:28] yes, but this will change it system wide [01:29] yes, I basically have it in 3 places but still does not work :P [01:29] let me try the 4th that you suggested [01:29] brb :) [01:33] tomaw: that did not do it either... :( [01:35] billythekid: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/254378/how-to-set-umask-for-the-entire-gnome-session [01:35] 2nd answer [01:37] does anyone know if its possbible under ubuntu's license/policy for packages in universe to not have source code available? [01:37] $ grep Umask /proc/2913/status returns Umask: 0022 [01:37] lol... :P [01:37] tomreyn: spot on [01:38] tomreyn: should not the setting on /etc/profile override this? [01:38] I have it in /etc/profile AND /etc/login.defs. it should be the default for all users right? [01:40] let me try one of the 2 solutions listed in the link... [01:55] tomaw: I tried adding a record in .gnomerc and also "systemctl --user edit dbus" [01:55] nothing works... [01:56] given that setting Umask in /etc/login.defs affects the entire system, should not it be working also for gnome? [02:05] does the private key for my encrypted home folder get evicted from RAM when the computer is suspended? [02:11] I seem to be having trouble staying connected...

[03:41] yes [03:42] I still need help with updates for meltdown [03:43] laptop: Any security updates will come as they are released. Just run your updates and you'll get them when they are released. [03:44] laptop: also, the recent security issues aren't really anything for the average user to worry about. They're been no exploits in the wild, it will take a lot of work for someone to exploit the bugs and someone needs to be logged into your machine.

[07:25] hi, i just installed ubuntu in qemu, but i just get 800x600 screen resolution [07:25] alkisg: chroot: can't execute '/bin/dash': No such file... [07:26] V7: that's strange. Can you boot with the ubuntu desktop live cd instead? [07:26] echelon: what's the output of `xrandr | nc termbin.com 9999` ? [07:26] oh [07:26] i read that -vga std is supposed to support up to 2560x1600 [07:26] Ok ... I'll try to, but is it necessary ? [07:27] Look alkisg I've tried to backup like in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem/TAR was said [07:27] alkisg: http://termbin.com/sxna [07:28] So ... I've created an arhive in booted up OS and after that I've formatted /dev/sda1 to check if it works. So after that I've tried to extract an arhive to /dev/sda1 and I got uuid error ... so I've changed /etc/fstab and grub.cfg [07:28] V7: yup, I get that, but having dash there and being able to execute it normally but not with chroot, doesn't add up [07:29] Also I've understood that I've missed grub reinstallation, but for it I need to chroot into /dev/sda1, but chroot doesn't work. So why it would be happening ? [07:29] Could it be because of libraries ? [07:29] Yes, it may [07:29] echelon: what qemu command line are you using? [07:29] How we would check that and how it could didn't copy into backup archive > [07:30] V7: i would prefer to work from a real system instead of from a server session which is very limited [07:30] V7: it may introduce additional issues that I wouldn't want to bother with [07:31] alkisg: qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -machine q35,accel=kvm -device intel-iommu -cpu host -boot order=c -drive file=lubuntu,format=raw -m 2G -vga std -nographic -vnc :0 [07:31] Roger [07:32] alkisg: Started to download ubuntu desktop [07:35] echelon: -vga std offers me a lot of resolutions here, but vnc :0 doesn't work and says: qemu-system-x86_64: -vnc :0: Failed to start VNC server: Failed to create socket: Address family not supported by protocol [07:36] address family? ^_- are you using ipv6 or something? [07:36] No [07:36] how about -vnc 127.0.0.1:0 [07:36] Ah, maybe it meant "port already in use" :) [07:36] Trying vnc :2... [07:36] oh [07:37] echelon: works for me [07:37] ffs [07:37] I get 5 resolutions, using 16.04.3 on both host and guest [07:37] did you install any particular guest drivers? [07:38] Using the live cd [07:38] So nothing installed [07:38] lubuntu? [07:38] MATE [07:38] echelon: are you using wayland? [07:38] E.g. 17.10? [07:39] alkisg: yeah [07:39] echelon: ah, that's why then [07:40] why :/ [07:40] wayland only shows 1 resolution to xrandr [07:40] -_- [07:40] And you need the wayland-specific way to change resolutions [07:40] Not xrandr etc [07:40] oh boy [07:40] how's that [07:40] If that's ubuntu 17.10, there's a display settings dialog in the control panel or something [07:40] Btw thank you very much alkisg for trying [07:40] V7: np [07:41] alkisg: i see "monitor settings" under preferences [07:41] Something like that, yes, I'm not using gnome [07:41] and it brings up a "display settings" dialog box [07:42]
