=== zzz is now known as skdjfghs [00:11] hi === ubuntu is now known as Guest77741 [00:12] hello world [00:12] new here need help and assistance with stiing up free vpn for ubunut mate on raspberry pi arm [00:20] jim lol === zzz_ is now known as zzz === zzz_ is now known as kowabunga [01:18] whats the best way to resize a lvm without data loss? I have a hdd I want to image to a vm and the system is only using 3gb of the 186gb lvm, and then the 511mb boot partition [01:20] is there a way I can remove perl from ubuntu ant its @INC in the home user folder? [01:20] Then do a reinstall? [01:21] pinPoint, do you need to remove the @inc only or the whole package? [01:21] i.e. reconfigure or reinstall? [01:22] I'm really not sure. I went from 14.04 to 16.04 and something is broken during a script run [01:22] Unable to resolve external IP (501 Protocol scheme 'http' is not supported) at ./update.pl line 33. [01:22] taken perl would will be... complex [01:23] Here is the .pl line: https://github.com/chandwki/DigitalOcean-DDNS/blob/master/update.pl [01:23] pinPoint, sudo apt purge perl then navigate to your /home, enable hidden folder view, look in your .config and kill the perl configurations [01:23] kill? [01:23] delete, [01:24] cfhowlett: this .config folder is actually named what? [01:24] .config/perl ... [01:24] I suppose [01:26] agan, removing perl will probably remove a nice chunk of the install. Not a good idea. [01:26] man, how do I fix this mess. :/ [01:26] pinPoint, ^^^ [01:27] if I understand the error, it points to an external IP setting ... Digital Ocean if I read this right [01:27] so take it up with DO [01:30] but, more simply, where is the use HTTP::request (or whatever is the name f the package)? [01:31] hggdh: line 33 or just before it in that link above ^^^ [01:31] pinPoint: still do not see the "use HTTP::request;" [01:32] my $req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => "http://ipinfo.io/ip"); [01:32] pinPoint: on line 26 you *used* a method from a class. Where is the class package *declared* to Perl? [01:33] (which would be a "use ..." statement, like you see at the beginning of the script) [01:34] not sure hggdh, I'm using a suggested script from DO. It work in 14.04 before 16.04 [01:36] pinPoint: well, the script is missing declaring this class/package [01:38] hggdh: I'm not sure, not a perl guru. [01:39] there is a #perl channel. perhaps they would know more? [01:45] is there any way to create an image of a drive without the empty space? reason why is I have a 200gb hdd that is only using about 4gb of space that I want to create an image of to make it a vm === xqb` is now known as xqb [01:52] this has never happened to me, my laptop just shut down on its own, how can I know what happened? it was fully charged [01:55] xqb: check /var/log/kern.log [01:56] EriC^^: I can't really tell myself, here's the log if you wanna look http://termbin.com/sfx2 [01:58] xqb: nothing there [01:58] xqb: it just crashed recently? [01:58] EriC^^: yeah like 10 mins ago at most [01:59] xqb: anything in ~/.xsession-errors ? [01:59] I was literally chatting here on IRC and it just went off [01:59] I thought my TV switched off [01:59] http://termbin.com/87dv [02:01] xqb: nothing stands out for me [02:02] EriC^^: :/ [02:02] I just hope it won't happen again [02:02] otherwise I'd ditch both acer and ubuntu [02:02] because I don't know whom to blame [02:02] xqb: anything in /var/crash maybe?

[02:05] thanks for the help though. [02:05] no problem [02:06] everything crashes [02:06] you think so? [02:06] well at least I'd appreciate to know what went wrong [02:06] I mean... [02:07] if it's going to switch my computer while I'm working on something important [02:07] 0.0 [02:07] I need to know where to go [02:07] :D [02:07] sometimes the crash doesn't register in any logs cause it's that bad unfortunately [02:08] if you want a more solid experience i'd stick with the lts releases and avoid any ppa's or very new software [02:08] +1! [02:09] :/ [02:09] cant have it all :P [02:18] Question, on Xubuntu, how do you move themenubar up top? I wanna move it to the bottom and make it thicker. [02:20] Draconiator, move it? nope. best option: make a new panel at the top, add all your apps then delete the one below [02:21] Hello all, I've tried installing Kubuntu from both a USB and DVD and each time I reboot after install the system fails and it goes into grub rescue; the first time (with the USB) it was complaining that i386 was not found (I tried manually copying it to boot but that did not work), and now it is complaining about "invalid arch-independent ELF magic". . .any ideas? [02:22] did you use the 32 bit ubuntu? cause i386 is 32 bit [02:22] cfhowlett: No, I am using 64 bit. . [02:22] is your machine 32 bit or 64 bit [02:22] 64 bit.. . [02:23] Let me double check my ram; but the CPU is 64 bit and the LiveUSB and LiveCD boots Kubuntu just fine. . . [02:24] Good evening folks. Which library provides sha1.so? [02:25] im looking for some clarification on this page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/KnowledgeBase/SpectreAndMeltdown [02:25] "No microcode updates are currently available for AMD or Intel, which means Spectre v2 is still unmitigated out of the box on Ubuntu on x86 CPUs. " [02:26] cfhowlett: yea, I got 6GB of ram. . . [02:26] but it also states further down that if you enable proposed you'll get a retpoline patched kernel and a gcc with retpoline support [02:26] slicktux, https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1965810 [02:27] slicktux, was this a new install or update? [02:27] cfhowlett: new install. [02:27] i guess my question is.. is there any point to installing the retpoline patches from proposed.. and doesnt some parts of userspace need to be recompiled with that compiler for it to be effective.. and does retpoline require microcode update to be effective? [02:28] or will the microcode update just minimise the performance impact of that [02:29] cfhowlett: Thanks for the link; I will try that now; If it works than that is just funny; the installer is obviously bugging out and not installing grub onto my drive. . .so I have to do it manually; W T F [02:29] XD [02:32] Geez, this dvd has slow read speeds. [02:32] 8S [02:34] this is more a channel for supporting noobs than discussing complex exploit mitigations like meltdown and spectre? :P [02:35] this is a volunteer channel. be patient. for instant answers, look to Canonical paid support options [02:36] im really greatful that ubuntu has published a statement regarding those vulnerabilities, and the current status and timeline etc, and nice tables showing kernel versions and mitigation levels etc [02:37] but it just makes me want to know more :P [02:42] cfhowlett: I appreciate your help; I've determined that it was my install medium; I am going to reinstall. . .

I have some shit radeon card and I'm trying to enable vsync/buffering because I have some tearing. How can I do this? [03:06] cfhowlett: Yea, it was the install medium; The first USB was old so it must have corrupted some data while dd'ing into it; the DVD drive on the laptop is shotty so it must have been misreading the DVD medium [03:07] so ... we happy? Vincent! We happy? [03:07] yer! [03:07] tyty [03:07] !happy2help! [03:07] a/s/l [03:07] thanks again!

[03:53] my knowledge of script creation is very minimal [03:53] nojjjjjjjjjjj, last time I tried something like that, all I had to do was run autoecpect, do what I wanted it to do for me, and poof, I had a working script. [03:53] i get stuck at the point of password [03:54] typo: autoexpect [03:54] not sure of what the line would look like to prompt for password [03:55] would it be pwd="enter password" [03:55] or print pwd [03:55] or expect pwd [03:55] expect is completely different from bash [03:56] re auto expect thankd [03:56] s [03:56] how so [03:56] does it require sudo apt-get install autoexpect [03:57] not autoexpect, expect. autoexpect should be part of expect package. [03:58] could you provide an example please [03:58] or link to explanation if its not part of bash then how would i find a manual [03:59] sudo apt install expect then use autoecpect to make the script. [03:59] okay [04:00] NASA made it years ago, your tax dollars at work [04:01] just checked, type exit when finished [04:03] i'm running unity. How do I restart gdm or whatever is running so that I can reload my xorg configs? [04:04] assuming iv installed expect would my script look like this [04:04] https://imgur.com/eLllzwH [04:06] nojjjjjjjjjjj, autoexpect writes the script for you. just run autoexpect, do what you want it to remember, then end the recording with "exit" [04:07] o i see [04:07] thank you [04:11] hello everyone, the "connect to server" is missing from ubuntu 17.10, how can one get it back. Any pointers will be appreciated [04:13] actually I am looking to connect into my raspberry pi [04:14] from the ubuntu 17.10 through a gui [04:19] I have a problem... I think I am running out of storage to install packages ... "apt-get -f install" is erroring because it running out of storage... but apt is not allowing me to remove packages to make room [04:20] what does it say when you run apt remove [04:21] insert rm -rf joke [04:26] thanks for expect it will be handy for many applications-i would also like to learn the un-automated way for my own learning curve-this is what i have come up with please critique and suggest improvements and variations to make more versatile (other config files within same folder"vpn' [04:26] https://imgur.com/E6IE6RQ [04:28] nojjjjjjjjjjj, wish I could help, the only thing I see is you should make the cd command use the full path so that you can move the script file and still have it work. [04:28] rijack, "E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution)." [04:28] got it [04:30] thank you [04:30] np [04:34] neildugan: which filesystem is full? [04:35] are there other ways to achieve the same outcome via bash script reason i ask is because BloqueNegro wrote a script for me yesterday but i dare not run it prior to understanding it it looked very very different to my basic script id look it up but have no idea where it was stored after downloading it iv looked every where its gone now so i cant search the commands within [04:36] question being are there other ways to perform the same task as what im doing in my script [04:37] it was a bash script not python or anythin [04:37] the one with '/' on it 751M free, but /home etc are on a separate drive [04:40] I'd like to say a big thank you to everyone on this channel that has ever helped me-I appreciate it more than words can express-Im really enjoying linux and love that i hardly ever need to revert to windows-im off now [04:42] neildugan: so there is a lot of space -- 700MB should be enough. What was the exact output of apt upgrade? Use pastebin, please [04:44] nojjjjjjjjjjj: :) [04:47] hggdh, https://pastebin.com/PYaFncp6 [04:48] hggdh: neildugan: also not to state the obvious but the first thing I usually with apt issues is "sudo apt update" then I check for a dpkg lock file [04:48] rijack, I did an 'apt update' didn't fix anything [04:50] neildugan: ah, /is 90% full [04:52] hggdh, yes -- still 751M free [04:53] neildugan: try running apt-get autoclean, and see how much space is releases [04:54] neildugan: this will delete old, obsolete packages from the local apt archive [04:54] hggdh, already done that. [04:54] neildugan, are you getting "disk full" messages [04:54] hggdh, I did a 'apt-get clean' as well [04:55] cfhowlett, only when using apt [04:55] neildugan: so you will have to find some way to clean up space on / [04:56] neildugan: seriously, 7G for / is asking for trouble [04:56] neildugan: i always clean systems with bleachbit [04:58] hggdh, I know it isn't much, I had some trouble a while back and that was the best I could do at that time. [05:08] neildugan: still, you have to open some space on / [05:10] hggdh, I tried deleting all the archived log files, but that wasn't enough [05:10] neildugan: how much space is under /var/cache/apt/archive? du -sh on it will tell you [05:11] what is /var/backups [05:12] neildugan: backups of some system files [05:13] neildugan: usually small enough not to be worth bothering with [05:14] hggdh, /var/cache/apt/archives = 8.6M [05:14] is it ok to remove the files in /var/backups ? [05:14] neildugan: yes, it is. But how much space is it going to release? [05:16] neildugan: another option: did you try apt --purge autoremove? [05:17] neildugan: this will remove packages that are not being used (probably old, like kernels 2 or more versions below current) === LocaMocha is now known as Sauvin [05:21] hggdh, I can't use apt to remove anything atm... it keeps asking me to do an 'apt-get -f install' [05:21] neildugan: so, how many kernels in /boot? [05:25] hggdh, it is using 333M ... it seems the the autoremove doesn't get rid of the file like "initrd.img-3.13.0-96-generic.old-dkms" === HappyHotDog is now known as DrunkHotDoggie [05:26] neildugan: how many different kernel versions? === sins-_y is now known as sins- [05:30] hggdh, there are 4 files starting with vmlinuz [05:32] hggdh, 23 matching "initrd.img-3.13.0-*.old-dkms" [05:33] neildugan: please put in a pastebin BOTH (1) ls -l /boot and (2) cat /proc/version_signature [05:34] neildugan: also, please add in a dpkg -l linux-\* [05:41] hggdh, https://pastebin.com/suwXPK61 .... it seems that the autoremove is not at all thorough enough === DarthVader is now known as Guest84487 [05:43] hggdh, manually delete all but the 2 most recent kernels [05:43] cfhowlett: yes, it would work [05:45] neildugan: OK, you got your work pretty much defined. you can try, first of all, to dpkg --purge -r all old kernel packages [05:46] neildugan: alternatively, you can, as cfhowlett pointed out, rm the two oldest kernel files (-100 and -129) [05:47] neildugan: and trash the old-dkms files [05:47] this will probably free up enough space to apt -f install [05:48] neildugan: BUT: after that, you are on your own. It will happen again. [05:48] unless you do your spring cleaning more frequently [05:49] and increase the size of / [05:49] shouldn't need to increase / if regularly maintained. with this kernel count, I'd guess maintenance has been done every so ... never? [05:52] Hi, how can I add libaacs to the VLC 3.0 snap? [05:54] cfhowlett, I every time I do an 'apt update' an 'apt autoremove' get done as well... these packages shouldn't have been left installed. [05:55] depends on which ubuntu version you have. I think kernel removal didn't get the autoremove trigger until 14.04 [05:56] cfhowlett, its older than I thought it 14.04.5 [05:56] per the kernel he is running Trusty [05:57] hggdh, noted. question: y u no upgrade to 16.04 [05:58] heh. Right now... no chance in hell it will succeed, not enough space [05:59] hggdh, yes right.. I am going to have to get that to work. somehow. [05:59] eh? download .iso, make usb, boot usb, install to current partition scheme. no additional room needed [06:00] cfhowlett, yes that would work... but first I am going to clean up as much space here as possible. [06:00] cfhowlett: hah, I was thinking of do-release-upgrade... [06:00] that would also work. clean install is my (dubious) preference [06:01] cfhowlett: no, do-release-upgrade would not, it first downloads all packages [06:01] ah ... yes, that. [06:02] clean install seems to be your future then [06:02] and... with that... schlaffen-time [06:02] * hggdh traces a route to bed [06:13] hello world === beaver_ is now known as beaver [06:38] hggdh, thanks for the help, I have freed about 2G so far === r0Oter is now known as r00ter [07:03] Is there a way to mix microphone and application sound as 1 channel in linux (a source for a recorder)?

[09:42] quantbeatzbak: if you login from the tty does it work? [09:43] quantbeatzbak: you never even get the gui login screen? [09:43] Its just that wayland crashes and bring me back to GDM, the login screen. [09:43] no gui [09:43] and [09:43] COmmand line is fine. Xorg i fine. [09:43] tty shows "hostanem login:" but keeps flashing [09:44] when i try to time after a flash the text field is cleared [09:44] *type not time [09:45] ducasse: wayland crashes. [09:46] quantbeatzbak: a long shot but did you try running 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' from the chroot to make sure it's all up to date? [09:46] yes [09:46] didn't work [09:47] alright i'm back at the chroot environment === Leion1 is now known as Leion [09:48] back [09:48] samfreed: i don't know where wayland errors are logged, tbh, have you tried looking at logs? [09:49] alright there is progress , i think [09:49] it shows a different error: [09:49] lightdm: pam_kwallet5(lightdm-greeter:session): (null): pam_sm_open_session [09:49] lightdm: pam_kwallet5(lightdm-greeter:session): pam_kwallet5: open_session called without kwallet5_key [09:49] lightdm: pam_unix(lightdm-greeter:session): session closed for user lightdm [09:49] pam_kwallet(lightdm-greeter:session): pam_kwallet: pam_sm_close_session [09:49] dusasse: I am quite lost. Nothing obvious in the logs, nothing in /var/crashes === Leion1 is now known as Leion [09:53] https://paste.ubuntu.com/=XTQNYVx4kT/ <-- auth.log [09:55] EriC^^: what do you think? === Leion1 is now known as Leion [09:58] quantzbeatz: no idea tbh [09:58] well **** [09:58] what now [09:59] samfreed: i don't know what else to suggest, sorry. what kind of gpu and which driver is this on? [09:59] quantzbeatz: look at /var/log/apt/history.log maybe ubuntu updated some stuff and that broke it [09:59] paste anything that looks like the last autoupdate it did before the problem started [10:01] ducasse: I am not such, it is a 2012 Mac Mini with a 4K screen, which I guess is a but unusual. [10:01] quantzbeatz: upload the kern.log , "cat /var/log/kern.log | nc termbin.com 9999" [10:01] ducasse; *sure === Jochen_wvdT is now known as Schlawiner [10:04] ducasse: FOUND some interestiung stuff in syslog: "org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Power.desktop[1789]: Cannot open display:" [10:04] samfreed: they use amd gpus afaik, so probably the radeon driver. you can check with 'lspci -k', check 'kernel driver in use' under VGA controller [10:04] ok w8 [10:04] ducasse: the display has no name [10:05] ducasse: i915 [10:06] samfreed: ok, so intel, not amd [10:06] ducasse: It worked for a few days when artful was new, and then it stopped. Wierd. [10:06] EriC^^ do you want the full kern.log ?? === eraserpencil1 is now known as eraserpencil [10:07] samfreed: could be a driver regression, hard to say [10:08] ducasse: After a good few failure messages, it goes "gnome-session-binary[1734]: CRITICAL: We failed, but the fail whale is dead. Sorry...." [10:10] ducasse: Can this be of interest? "udev-acl.ck[1728]: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed" ? [10:11] samfreed: some posts i found online seem to indicate this could be a problem in gdm or gnome-settings-daemon... [10:11] http://termbin.com/lyqj [10:11] EriC^^: ^^ [10:12] samfreed: you could file a bug against gnome-settings-daemon, since that's what throws the "cannot open display" error [10:13] ducasse: The first "cannot open display" is from gnome-screensav, actually. [10:15] samfreed: so, it could be gdm that fails to start wayland. i'm just guessing, though. [10:16] ducasse: should I throw the log onto termbin for you to see? [10:19] ducasse: look here: http://termbin.com/kynm [10:26] ducasse: What about THIS during boot? : "[ 17.542201] wl: module verification failed: signature and/or required key missing - tainting kernel" ??? [10:28] samfreed: that must be some other module, do you have something that uses dkms installed? what about those .bashrc errors near the top of the log, are there any problems with parsing that? [10:31] ducasse: I expect them to do gracefuly ignored, as they wrote such a nice set of warnings about them... [10:32] ducasse: should I get rid of the .profile and try again? [10:32] samfreed: no, don't do that [10:33] if all else fail , i'll just reinstall i guess [10:33] *fails [10:34] samfreed: can you put .bashrc on paste.ubuntu.com? 'pastebinit ~/.bashrc' should do it [10:37] Hi there!
