| jk^ | hi all, i opened "Disks" and it tells me my pendrive have 19 GB of free space. I have to put into it 18 GB, but to avoid a unsuccessful operation, i just copy/past to that pendrive 16 GB of data. Now i'd have 3 GB of free space, but now the app "Disks" tells me there is just 1,1 GB :\ so i can't copy/paste the other 2 GB of data :\ why? | 00:05 |

| slimjimflim | anybody know how to mount a 5-10 yr old memorex 25x 700mb 80min audio cd-r on ubuntu 16.04.3? | 00:35 |
| slimjimflim | https://pastebin.com/NvfwsDYt | 00:36 |
| tomcres | You can't mount an audio CD. | 00:37 |
| tomcres | It doesn't have a filesystem on it. | 00:37 |
| slimjimflim | oh. should i just start ripping then? | 00:38 |
| tomcres | Yes, it should be instantly accessible from whatever ripper you're using. | 00:39 |

| cheako | Hello, I just debootstraped artful and tried to install libglvnd-dev and it wasn't available. | 00:47 |
| cheako | I altered my apt source to bionic and found the same, even though it's listed as part of both releases. | 00:48 |
| cheako | This is important for a package I'm trying to upload to a ppa: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/357949350/buildlog_ubuntu-artful-i386.renderdoc_0.91-12_BUILDING.txt.gz | 00:50 |

| bazhang | cheako, first off, never mix release version repos, and it is in the artful repos | 00:51 |
| cheako | bazhang: That may be, but it's clearly missing from the Packages files. | 00:57 |
| bazhang | cheako, which packages | 00:58 |
| cheako | grepping for libglv | 00:58 |
| bazhang | cheako, not everyone needs it | 00:58 |
| bazhang | cheako, but it's there if you do | 00:59 |

| cheako | http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu/dists/artful/main/binary-amd64/ | 01:01 |
| cheako | I downloaded Packages.xz and interrogated it for the package. | 01:02 |

| cheako | bazhang: apt-get doesn't download that. | 01:05 |
| bazhang | cheako, sure it does, as long as you have that repo enabled, and have updated your sources list | 01:06 |

| bazhang | cheako, it's at packages.ubuntu.com , and many other official ubuntu resources say it is there, however you are searching must be missing the use of those | 01:09 |
| cheako | BTW the packages files are stored in /var/lib/apt and you can look at them there. | 01:09 |

| jyc | does anyone know if this is a libinput problem? (I'm on Wayland) | 01:11 |

| stoopkid | hello, i'm using a computer that had an encrypted home directory with ecryptfs. i've managed to decrypt and mount it with ecryptfs-recover-private --rw, and i see that i can write files into the mounted directory, does anybody know what would need to be done to re-encrypt and unmount this directory? | 01:34 |
| stoopkid | i try "ecryptfs-umount-private /tmp/ecryptfs.d2wICJDV/" but that just says "open, no such file or direcctory. Error locking counter" | 01:36 |
| stoopkid | unfortunately there's no info in the manpage i'm not sure what the proper syntax for the command is supposed to be | 01:36 |
| cliff | ? | 01:47 |
| sere | stoopkid: did you encrypt from install or after? | 01:53 |
| stoopkid | sere: from install | 01:54 |
| stoopkid | forgot i did it until i had to go into recovery mode for something and saw everything "missing" from my home directory | 01:55 |
| mead | welp I went from xubuntu 16.04.2 to 16.04.3 and the live image won't even boot | 01:55 |
| sere | stoopkid: ahh ok.. do you think if you change installs/OS's it will still mount | 01:56 |
| stoopkid | no idea heh | 01:56 |
| sere | stoopkid: ah ok hehe.. ive been wondering, i think im going to try with this new portable minimal im working on. i guesss we will find it | 01:58 |
| stoopkid | well, i can `umount` it and then `ecryptfs-mount-prviate` again and the files i wrote are still there (i guess expectedly) | 02:07 |
| stoopkid | but ok, so ecryptfs-mount-private sticks some things into the keyring so if i just do `umount` i have to clear the keyring | 02:11 |
| stoopkid | manually i mean | 02:11 |
| stoopkid | hrm, i'd like a better understanding of what's going on there. let's say i don't clear the keyring, i should still be able to decrypt & mount this directory as long as that key is still in there? | 02:12 |

I have setup my WiFi connection with a DNS server of 10.8.0.253 .... a "dig server.home" returns nothing ... a "dig server.home @10.8.0.253" returns the correct result ... does anyone have ideas on what can be wrong? | 03:52 |

| kenrin | What is in your list OdysseyRS | 03:53 |
| OdysseyRS | 1 sec | 03:55 |
| OdysseyRS | gnome-classic.desktop ubuntu.desktop ubuntu-xorg.desktop. That's in usr/share/xsessions | 03:55 |

| kenrin | I'd assume the middle one would be wayland | 03:56 |
| OdysseyRS | kenrin: I think so. In the drop down gear at login I only have the choice of gnome-classic and ubuntu on xorg. I just need to change what appears in that list | 03:57 |
| sere | how can i use cut or grip to get the last line of an output | 03:58 |
| kenrin | Are you using nvidia or something? they disable wayland | 04:00 |
| OdysseyRS | I am that could be it. But it has been fine up until an hour ago. Should I swap back to the nouveau driver or however its spelt? Or just stick with Xorg? | 04:01 |
| OdysseyRS | sere: try <grep command> | tail -1 | 04:01 |
| kenrin | Whatever you want to do, I use xorg just because synergy and a lot of other programs refuse to work in wayland | 04:03 |
| sere | OdysseyRS: thank you | 04:03 |
| OdysseyRS | kenrin: Thanks for your help. I just don't know the pros and cons of xorg vs wayland. I'll just stick with Xorg for now. | 04:04 |

| kyanardag_ | Ben64, there's no way to run dkms for non-main ubuntu kernels? | 05:15 |

| nacc | kyanardag_: the drivers will almost certainly not compile | 05:15 |
| kyanardag_ | Ben64, nacc thanks.. I thought latest kernel would be better to run, but sounds like running the main ubuntu kernel is the way to go.. | 05:16 |
| nacc | kyanardag_: that is definitely not the intention | 05:17 |
| kyanardag_ | nacc, I see, when I read "latest" I thought like "latest version", more secure, more performant, etc. | 05:18 |
| mead | lotuspsychje: I tried it as a live boot, but had issues with networking. Think I could get help trouble shooting it here? #lubuntu isn't very active. | 05:18 |

| nacc | kyanardag_: they are for debugging issues, mostly | 05:19 |

| align_waivers | p.s. its a m-audio trigger finger if that means anything | 05:28 |
| align_waivers | any other way besides lsusb and grep to determine if a generic usb device is detecte? | 05:31 |
| lotuspsychje | align_waivers: tail -f /var/log/syslog and plug in your device | 05:31 |

| align_waivers | not seeing anything | 05:36 |
| align_waivers | says monitor will print events for : UDEV, ... | 05:37 |

| lotuspsychje | align_waivers: hastebin it to us | 05:37 |
| align_waivers | m-audio trigger finger. generic usb midi interface has worked before | 05:37 |
| align_waivers | lotuspsychje: , akik https://pastebin.com/FZn0F38s | 05:39 |
| align_waivers | fyi though I have not tried it on this computer previously. But on ubuntu 14 and on others it has worked | 05:39 |
| Ben64 | try other ports | 05:40 |
| akik | align_waivers: you can also test with 14.04 live session if it's working | 05:42 |
| align_waivers | yeah didnt have any luck with that | 05:42 |
| align_waivers | like boot from a usb to see if this computer can run it with 14.04? | 05:43 |
| akik | align_waivers: yes | 05:43 |
| akik | align_waivers: has it ever worked with your current computer? | 05:44 |
| align_waivers | no | 05:44 |
| align_waivers | lenovo x220 | 05:44 |
| align_waivers | brb ill try to find a 14 live drive | 05:45 |
| align_waivers | akik: lotuspsychje no luck I dont have a drive right now. is comparing to how ubuntu 14 handles the device the only next step I can take? | 05:52 |
| akik | align_waivers: you could also test with another computer | 05:52 |
| lotuspsychje | align_waivers: or test other kernels as test | 05:56 |

| Lope | I've got a freshly installed ubuntu. I can't apt-get update because it cannot lock http://dronebl.org/lookup?ip=169.1.146.92 | 06:44 |
| Lope | It's probably due to some gui thing. How can I kill it? | 06:45 |
| EriC^^ | Lope: the link isnt working | 06:45 |
| Lope | Oh damn, sorry my clipboard didn't paste what I expected | 06:46 |
| Lope | it cannot lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock | 06:46 |
| EriC^^ | Lope: is something else running? try ps aux | grep -Ei "dpkg|unattended" | 06:47 |
| Lope | nothing | 06:47 |
| EriC^^ | try removing the lock file | 06:47 |
| Lope | That worked | 06:48 |
| Lope | But seems wrong to do. | 06:48 |
| Lope | I tried `service aptd restart` but it wasn't found | 06:48 |
| EriC^^ | yeah no apt service | 06:51 |
| EriC^^ | if nothing is using the file it's safe to remove | 06:51 |
| Lope | aptd was using the file | 06:51 |
| Lope | but pkill aptd didn't work. | 06:51 |
| EriC^^ | ah | 06:52 |
| Lope | I've got a large ods calc spreadsheet. On some versions of libreoffice calc it runs well. On other versions calc chokes and runs super slowly. The last time calc got super slow I switched to the libreoffice PPA. But now it seems libreoffice is not recommending the PPA on their website anymore. The version of libreoffice calc that I have at the moment is 6.0.1.1. Any ideas? | 06:53 |
| ayee | I'm screwing around with ubuntu18 to play with netplan. I added an interface, and when I reboot the network startup process just hangs with a timer that keeps ticking up. but when I do netplay apply before reboot, everything works, I can ssh in, etc | 06:55 |
| ayee | I'm confused about why it works before reboot, but not after. | 06:55 |
| Lope | Oh I see the PPA is briefly mentioned (though no longer *recommended* (but not advised against)) on libreoffice's site. It's here https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ubuntu/ppa ) | 06:56 |
| ayee | This is the only file in /etc/netplan/: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/5cf3bac9168f19f9a0c9b8123aa6929a | 06:56 |
| Lope | ayee: I've never heard of ubuntu 18. Isn't ubuntu 16 the latest LTS? | 06:56 |
| kille | 18.04 has had some mention on the webs lately guys | 06:57 |
| kille | but it is obviously not out yet | 06:57 |
| kille | :) | 06:57 |

| kille | thats cool | 06:59 |
| kille | stability? | 06:59 |
| EriC^^ | ayee: for more info on 18.04 /join #ubuntu+1 | 06:59 |

| ayee | EriC^^: thanks! | 06:59 |
| EriC^^ | np | 07:00 |
| kille | ayee: yeah, thought as much, features though? anything new? | 07:00 |
| ayee | I think they're going to freeze it soon, and typically after freezes things get pretty stable | 07:00 |
| ayee | not sure, I'm just using the server install. so the gnu tools all look the same to me! | 07:00 |
| ayee | but netplan is new! I'm used to /etc/network/interfaces, but this is all different. a yaml file now | 07:01 |
| kille | ayee: staying on 16.04 lts myself, have learned my lesson with new interim releases. | 07:01 |
| kille | ayee: that sounds good, is it easier to use at least? interfaces was pretty powerful, don't think they'd throw it away 100%, is it stil present too at least? | 07:02 |
| lotuspsychje | kille: stick to ubuntu support please | 07:02 |

| Frank_ | Someone suggested that maybe later...now....someone might have an idea. 16.04 - when run from a USB stick (try it) no trouble, but when installed on HD the speakers don't work, but the headphones do. | 07:10 |
| lotuspsychje | Frank_: did you make that bug report? | 07:10 |
| Frank_ | Odd thing is if I right click above the speaker icon, the speakers work, but only as long as I hold down the right mouse button. | 07:10 |
| Frank_ | No, I just returned home from work. | 07:10 |
| Frank_ | Thought maybe, as you suggested, someone would have an idea | 07:10 |
| lotuspsychje | Frank_: sure thing, but meanwhile you could add the bug aswell | 07:11 |
| Frank_ | right | 07:11 |
| Frank_ | bug is reported | 07:33 |
| lotuspsychje | Frank_: can you share please, ill have a look | 07:33 |

| Frank_ | no idea how to share the bug | 07:33 |

| Frank_ | I opened the mixer from the console...set the speaker to max...nothing | 07:35 |
| Frank_ | nothing | 07:35 |

| draget | Is there a (somewhat) official PPA for anything > QT 5.6 for Ubuntu 16.04? | 10:24 |
| Ben64 | PPA is unofficial | 10:25 |
| draget | Hmm, aren't some PPAs maintained by trustworthy ubuntu members? | 10:25 |
| Ben64 | how can you trust them | 10:26 |
| draget | I saw that qt is also not part of the backports. So the only official way would be the manuall installer from QT I guess. | 10:26 |
| Ben64 | or just wait a couple months for 18.04 then upgrade to that | 10:26 |
| draget | I found https://launchpad.net/~beineri - seems like a reliable member that has QT5 packages | 10:26 |
| draget | My buildchain is kind of big… and running on 16.04 now. I think using the manuall isntall will be less work than an update to 18.04 | 10:27 |

| tesuji | openvpn running figuring out why I get network problems? | 10:29 |
| TJ- | tesuji: is openvpn configured to operate using TCP, or UDP? It sounds like when the transport loses connectivity the openvpn link dies but doesn't realise so keeps on trying to send to the original end-point | 10:31 |
| TJ- | tesuji: is openvpn configured to operate using TCP, or UDP? It sounds like when the transport loses connectivity the openvpn link dies but doesn't realise so keeps on trying to send to the original end-point | 10:31 |
| tesuji | TJ-: Just checked, its UDP. | 10:34 |
| tesuji | TJ-: but then again I wasn't vpn-connected during the wifi-disconnect. Can I just change it to TCP? (I am guessing your answer is "udp packets are allowed to get lost, tcp arent?) | 10:36 |
| gordon__ | good morning | 10:36 |
| TJ- | tesuji: how is openvpn controlled? is it via Network-Manager? Because with NM, it allows you to configure the wifi connection to bring up another link (the VPN) when it connects, and will disconnect that VPN if the underlying link dies | 10:36 |
| TJ- | tesuji: No, my answer would be, UDP is /much/ more reliable for openvpn connections, and can prevent denial-of-service attacks against the server's listening port | 10:37 |
| tesuji | TJ-: OK. No I use a script to initiate the connection on a console | 10:37 |
| tesuji | TJ-: There is a tun adapter though, which I guess comes from OpenVPN, which not the default route | 10:38 |
| tesuji | let me google real quick | 10:38 |
| TJ- | tesuji: I'd recommend integrating your script into the system's native network manager. If you rely on ifupdown, then uses some of the /etc/network/if-{up,down}.d/ hooks to control the VPN, otherwise integrate into NM | 10:39 |
| tesuji | TJ-: thanks for the hint. I need to check the script, I didn't write it myself. | 10:39 |
| TJ- | tesuji: yeah, I guess as much :) I use the NM method quite successfully for your scenario | 10:40 |
| tesuji | TJ-: it just runs 'openvpn /etc/openvpn/myvpn.conf' | 10:40 |
| tesuji | TJ-: wait, wouldnt that mean there are 2 openvpns running then? that sounds like a problem... | 10:41 |
| tesuji | TJ-: OK great thanks. Many new leads! | 10:41 |
| Lope | Why is there closed source stuff in the ubuntu app store? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFQGKsLKBlk&t=14m38s | 10:42 |
| Lope | This is worrying. How do I know what's open source or not open source in the ubuntu repos? | 10:42 |
| tesuji | Lope: there is multiverse, which has restricted/propietary/copyrighted stuff | 10:44 |
| tesuji | Lope: you can disable that repo | 10:44 |
| Lope | but isn't htop in the multiverse? | 10:45 |
| Lope | Oh, maybe htop is in universe... | 10:45 |
| DiecastMessiah | quick question.. would it be better to disable software updates program from auto checking and just do it myself in apt-get. every couple of days orr?? just wondering because i find it better using apt-get than using the ubuntu software program.. | 10:48 |
| tesuji | DiecastMessiah: it tends to be a good idea to get at least security updates as quickly as possible. You CAN setup a cron job instead or something. Never underestimate human error ^^ | 10:52 |
| === ViSi0n is now known as UsQUE | ||
| DiecastMessiah | K well i can leave it open so it will tell me there updates.. but is it a better idea to than use apt-get to download them and just close the update program? | 10:53 |
| tesuji | DiecastMessiah: no. it does the same | 10:54 |
| DiecastMessiah | kk.. just wasn;t sure if it was like the ubuntu software program .. it does always seem to get everything that is needed | 10:56 |
| DiecastMessiah | but i leave updater alone and use it than .. thank you | 10:56 |
| Ben64 | DiecastMessiah: just make sure to do 'apt full-upgrade' | 10:57 |

| Vic2 | I have been having beaucoup issues, and realize that I most likely need to reinstall -- but I would like to take this as a learning exercise ... my issue now is that LibreOffice Calc will not open. I click it and the banner appears along with the clock that something is happening, then after a few seconds - nothing. I am using 14.04.5 LTS. How would I begin to troubleshoot this? | 11:18 |
| gef3233 | Vic2 try opening it from the terminal, then maybe you can get some output when it crashes | 11:19 |
| Vic2 | gef3233: any clue what the program name is? I have never opened it from terminal. | 11:20 |
| gef3233 | Vic2 I think it is libreoffice --calc | 11:22 |
| gef3233 | I cannot check right now | 11:22 |
| Vic2 | gef3233: yes, I got over my laziness and checked the man page. :p | 11:23 |
| Vic2 | gef3233: no output in terminal ... no process running. | 11:24 |
| TJ- | Vic2: try this: "strace -f -o /tmp/libreoffice.log libreoffice --calc" | 11:28 |
| TJ- | Vic2: then you can show us the captured /tmp/libreoffice.log file via a pastebin ("pastebinit /tmp/libreoffice.log") | 11:29 |

| popey | zetheroo: you can look in /var/log/dpkg.log | 12:52 |

| Industrial | Hi. | 13:25 |
| EriC^^ | hello | 13:26 |
| Industrial | WHen I start my computer (16.04), before logging in I can not connect to a WIFI network | 13:26 |
| Industrial | Why is there an indicator there to choose the network | 13:26 |
| Industrial | if all it does is popup saying "insufficient privileges" | 13:26 |
| Industrial | ? | 13:26 |
| mst89 | thats kind of funny :) | 13:27 |
| Industrial | 2) When I log out of Unity back into LightDM, when I log into Xmonad (window manager), there is no WIFI connection. | 13:27 |
| Industrial | There is no way to choose it in xmonad. | 13:27 |
| Industrial | So I need a WIFI connection first, and a login after that. | 13:27 |
| Industrial | Or just the wifi to stay at whatever I put it at inside Unity (or LightDM) | 13:28 |
| Roland | hi. does anybody know why libreoffice crashes on ubuntu 17.10? | 13:28 |
| Roland | the system is updated, and libreoffice calc crashes anytime i try to press save. | 13:29 |
| TJ- | Industrial: did you configure the network connection in Network manager as "All users may connect" and "automatically connect" ? | 13:29 |
| Industrial | Oh. You have to config that per network. I thought it would just take a configured network and just connect to one whenever possible when WIFI is ON :) | 13:30 |
| Industrial | like a phone :P | 13:30 |
| Industrial | alright then | 13:31 |
| Industrial | thanks | 13:31 |
| TJ- | zetheroo: there's a simpler way to determine last upgrade install: "ls -l /var/lib/dpkg/status" | 13:32 |
| ioria | Roland, try to start it from terminal | 13:37 |
| Roland | ioria, no luck, tells me "application error" doesnt offer to send bug report | 13:38 |
| DiecastMessiah | TJ-: thanks that awesome.. just was looking at that file.. didn't think it would have all the info/details on each package that installed.. writing that down for sure :) | 13:39 |
| ioria | Roland, libreoffice --calc | 13:39 |
| TJ- | DiecastMessiah: dpkg is responsible for all package installs | 13:39 |
| TJ- | DiecastMessiah: apt's job is to handle debian repositiories and fetch packages - it passed them to dpkg for installtion | 13:40 |
| TJ- | DiecastMessiah: additionally, apt ensures all dependencies are met | 13:40 |
| DiecastMessiah | oh i know just meant that i open the status file and it give alot of details on each package | 13:40 |
| Roland | ioria, libreoffice --calc // Warning: failed to read path from javaldx // Couldn't open /usr/share/kde4/config/kdebug.areas // Application Error | 13:41 |
| Vic2 | @TJ- Anyway to determine if it is a root file-system issue and fix it? or would a reinstall be called for? | 13:41 |
| Roland | ioria, this is on ubuntu 17.10, LibreOffice 5.4.5.1 40m0(Build:1) | 13:42 |
| ioria | Roland, no idea, let's try to disable java : Tools -> Options -> Advanced | 13:42 |
| TJ- | Vic2: first confirm it /is/ a root-fs issue. "mount | grep '/ ' and check it shows "rw" not "ro" in the options - if it is ro it's Read Only so you probably need to reboot and let the file-system check do a repair | 13:43 |
| Roland | ioria, did that, doesnt change anything | 13:43 |
| purplepod | I'm unable to install the VLC snap. I get an error, with a bunch of snapcraft.io URL data I'm leaving out of the paste: error: cannot install "vlc": Get | 13:43 |
| purplepod | net/http: request canceled (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers) | 13:43 |
| purplepod | is it just broken right now? | 13:43 |
| TJ- | Roland : try this: "strace -f -o /tmp/libreoffice.log libreoffice --calc" and then after it crashes we can look at the log file for clues | 13:44 |
| ioria | Roland, clean the cache | 13:44 |
| Vic2 | @TJ- compaq@HP-Compaq-8000:~$ mount | grep '/ ' | 13:44 |
| Vic2 | /dev/sda3 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro) | 13:44 |
| ioria | Roland, ~/.config and in ~/.cache | 13:45 |
| TJ- | Vic2: hmmm, OK, so not the root-fs | 13:45 |
| Crusher | you may need to install the BOSS::Config module <-- WLS/Umbuntu.... what do I run? | 13:46 |
| Vic2 | @TJ- when I went to install pastebinit I got a lot of errors ... sudo: unable to open /var/lib/sudo/compaq/4: No such file or directory | 13:46 |
| Vic2 | W: Not using locking for read only lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock | 13:46 |

| Vic2 | E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. | 13:46 |
| Crusher | perl module | 13:46 |
| TJ- | Vic2: ouch! do you have a separate /var/ file-system configured? | 13:47 |
| Vic2 | @TJ- I have / on one partition and /home is on another ... | 13:47 |
| TJ- | Vic2: "mount | grep var" or "grep var /etc/fstab" | 13:47 |
| TJ- | Vic2: otherwise, it looks like parts of the file-system have been damaged or destroyed | 13:48 |
| TJ- | Vic2: When was the last time the PC was rebooted? | 13:48 |
| Vic2 | @TJ- the last two commands returned nothing. it was rebooted yesterday. | 13:49 |
| TJ- | Vic2: I'm not sure whether to suggest another reboot - if it's gone bad it might not return in a state you can easily recover from. Do you have an alternate PC to connect to IRC with if that happens? | 13:50 |
| Vic2 | I can get one ready ... but not atm. On another path ... would a complete reinstall potentially be helpful? | 13:51 |
| TJ- | Vic2: it depends... the disk could be failing. | 13:51 |
| TJ- | Vic2: check /var/log/kern.log in case there's indications of I/O errors with the disk(s) | 13:51 |
| Vic2 | TJ yeah that was my next question ... any potential way to check? | 13:51 |
| Roland | TJ-: , ioria: looks like the problem is libreoffice-kde package, libreoffice-gtk works fine | 13:54 |
| ioria | Roland, kde problem , then | 13:55 |
| Vic2 | @TJ I did a tail of that log file but I have no idea what I am looking at ... other than when I plugged my phone in yesterday (it was not recognized as it usually is) I have no idea what that output is saying. :( | 13:55 |
| Vic2 | @TJ how can I look at more than the last 20 lines easily? | 13:56 |
| TJ- | Vic2: "tail -n 20 /var/log/kern.log" | 13:56 |
| TJ- | Vic2: the fact /var/log/ exists is a better sign, after those other reports | 13:56 |
| Vic2 | Oh, this ... Feb 22 07:42:56 HP-Compaq-8000 kernel: [149742.837529] EXT4-fs error (device sda3): ext4_search_dir:1291: inode #136579: block 533769: comm updatedb.mlocat: bad entry in directory: inode out of bounds - offset=500(500), inode=1073878428, rec_len=12, name_len=3 | 13:56 |
| TJ- | Vic2: that doesn't sound good. The file system needs checking/repairing, and as it's the root FS that requires a reboot. Try "sudo touch /forcefsck" then reboot | 13:59 |

| Industrial | Hi. My user has ID 1001. | 14:39 |
| Industrial | Can I change that to 1000 ? | 14:39 |
| deadrom | Industrial, well, you *can*, in theory, but why? | 14:40 |
| Industrial | Docker containers using the UUID 1000 | 14:42 |
| Industrial | working for all my other team members | 14:42 |
| Industrial | The containers are creating files in host mounted volumes | 14:43 |
| Industrial | with the UUID 1000 | 14:43 |
| Industrial | resulting in permission errors because mine is not 1000 but 1001 | 14:43 |
| Industrial | So putting my user at 1000 is the best solution :-) | 14:43 |
| deadrom | Industrial, you would need to change the ID in /etc/passwd, /etc/group, and modify each and every file that belongs to that use to reflect the new id. I might be forgetting a thing or two. bottom line: I'd not do it without a full disk backup | 14:44 |
| deadrom | Industrial, sounds more like Docker should have asked the system if the ID is available and go for the next one that is, right..? not a Docker expert, but I'd rather adapt Docker there. | 14:45 |
| Vic2 | @TJ- It came back up after reboot. Seemingly with many less issues. TY. | 14:45 |
| Industrial | deadrom: eh, I want to continue developing. having my own system be equal to all others is preferrable. WHy is my userid not 1000 to begin with? Isn't it always 1000 for the first created user? | 14:46 |
| deadrom | if new shoes don't fit I don't saw off my toes, I alter the shoes. persistent solution, les painful | 14:46 |
| deadrom | Industrial, cant answer that one really. here on my 16.04 actually I am uid 1000 | 14:47 |

| z3bra | hello | 15:43 |
| z3bra | I'm currently installing ubuntu 16.04 on a machine, but the RAID card is not supported | 15:44 |
| z3bra | It looks like the HWE kernel would bring that support, but I'm not sure how to get the HWE kernel during the install process | 15:44 |
| z3bra | Il looks like the livecd is really barebone, so I don't have many options | 15:45 |
| z3bra | I tried using apt-install, but I can't reach internet because my network require the use of VLANs, and I could'nt configure it (looks like there is no support for VLANs on the livecd either) | 15:46 |
| z3bra | any hint? | 15:46 |
| nacc | z3bra: apt-install or `apt install` ? | 16:00 |
| nacc | z3bra: also, if you use the 16.04.3 live usb, the hwe kernel is an option presented at the first menu (iirc) and is installed by default | 16:01 |
| BSaboia | is it easy to run a live ubuntu on a mac? | 16:02 |
| BSaboia | I am downloading 16.04 LTS | 16:02 |
| BSaboia | I tried slax, but it did not work. the USB stick was not present on the boot list | 16:03 |
| Gargravarr | BSaboia: depends how old the Mac is. some only work properly when booted from CD | 16:03 |
| z3bra | nacc apt-install | 16:03 |
| Gargravarr | ran into issues booting my old MBP into Mint | 16:03 |
| z3bra | (apt or apt-get is not available at the command line) | 16:03 |

| Gargravarr | anyway, hi all, wonder if someone can give me some pointers. i've got a fleet of Dell XPSen running Xenial that, on certain kernels, fail to boot | 16:06 |
| Gargravarr | boot screens do one of a number of things: 1. FDE password screen doesn't work at all 2. password accepted, but the Ubuntu booting animation freezes 3. screen is just black | 16:07 |
| mumixam | z3bra: before you start the install process select HWE? | 16:07 |
| z3bra | I'll try that | 16:07 |
| mumixam | if the system is already installed just update the kernel | 16:07 |
| Gargravarr | in all cases, i can't find anything in the logs, implying the rootfs isn't being mounted in the background, but without logs i cannot figure out what's going on | 16:08 |
| mumixam | Gargravarr: hardware is the same as other machines without issues? | 16:09 |
| Gargravarr | mumixam: for the most part, yes | 16:10 |
| mumixam | have you tried memtest86+? | 16:10 |
| z3bra | I'm using the 16.04.1 iso now which doesn't have this option | 16:10 |
| Gargravarr | might as well | 16:10 |
| mumixam | z3bra: i thought i seen it in there | 16:10 |
| nacc | z3bra: 16.04.1 | 16:11 |
| nacc | z3bra: you want 16.04..3 | 16:11 |
| mumixam | if not just do a normal install then upgrade the kernel unless you need the raid card for rootfs | 16:11 |
| nacc | *.3 | 16:11 |
| z3bra | yeah I'm downloading it | 16:11 |
| nacc | z3bra: 16.04.1 is the same as 16.04 kernel wise | 16:12 |
| nacc | no hwe there | 16:12 |
| nacc | z3bra: so it wouldn't present you with a hwe option, afaict | 16:12 |

| jair | hello all this is a bug memory regression issue of 17.10 in the Dell R440 > https://ibb.co/dmrfvx | 17:44 |
| Gargravarr | jair: isn't htop telling you what you need to know? | 17:44 |
| jair | before the server crash I have been looking for softwares to identify the memory leak | 17:44 |
| jair | I ran memtest and got the copy of the output | 17:44 |
| jair | Gargravarr: did you have a look at the screenshot? | 17:45 |
| Gargravarr | that would have been my suggestion, to look at htop and check processes and threads for high memory use | 17:45 |
| jair | Gargravarr: it is showing no processes using the memory | 17:45 |
| jair | Gargravarr: htop is showing that everything is working fine | 17:45 |
| jair | Gargravarr: that is the issue | 17:46 |
| nacc | jair: `cat /proc/meminfo` in a pastebin | 17:46 |
| jair | OK | 17:46 |
| jair | thanks nacc checking | 17:46 |
| nacc | jair: also, are you possibly using any tmpfs or something? | 17:46 |
| Gargravarr | i see. iirc, the colour of the RAM gauge in htop means something, i can't remember what | 17:47 |
| Gargravarr | yes, green = actively used, blue = buffer, yellow = cache | 17:48 |
| jair | nacc: nah, this is just a iptables router | 17:48 |
| Gargravarr | the OS seems to be caching too agressively and not releasing it | 17:48 |
| Gargravarr | if you run 'free -m' you'll probably see most of the RAM use is in cache | 17:48 |
| jair | nacc: here > http://paste.debian.net/1011521 | 17:48 |
| nacc | jair: appears to be all in use by THP | 17:49 |
| nacc | jair: which, if too aggressive, can be harder to break up and swap out under memory pressure, iirc | 17:49 |
| nacc | jair: did you by any chance set to THP to always? | 17:50 |
| jair | Gargravarr: > http://paste.debian.net/1011524/ | 17:50 |
| pinnerup | Does anyone know of a program for Ubuntu or Linux in general that shows which installed fonts support a given unicode range? Like if I want to find out which of my installed fonts support, say, Phoenician? | 17:50 |
| jair | nacc: what is that? | 17:51 |
| jair | nacc: THP | 17:51 |
| nacc | jair: Transparent Huge Pages | 17:51 |
| nacc | jair: the DirectMap bit at the bottom | 17:51 |
| Gargravarr | jair: okay, fair enough | 17:51 |
| Gargravarr | i'm wrong, ignore me :) | 17:52 |
| nacc | jair: what OS / kernel is this? | 17:52 |
| jair | ubuntu 17.10 | 17:52 |
| jair | kernel -32 | 17:52 |
| nacc | jair: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42525327/what-are-side-effects-cons-of-disabling-transparent-huge-pagesthp/42540006 has some interesting tidbits | 17:52 |
| nacc | jair: i'd try disabling THP and see if it fixes your issue | 17:52 |
| Anticom | Hi all. a friend of mine (a little elderly) hasn't installed updates in a while | 17:53 |
| nacc | jair: the default is madvise, but if your software is madvise heavy, you can get into weird isseus | 17:53 |
| Anticom | he's got some weird chinese sources when i do `sudo apt update` | 17:53 |
| jair | nacc: you can see this > https://ibb.co/dmrfvx | 17:53 |
| Anticom | is this something i've got to worry about? | 17:53 |
| nacc | jair: yes, you already sent that to me | 17:53 |
| jair | nacc: how can I disable THP | 17:53 |
| nacc | jair: cat /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled | 17:53 |
| nacc | jair: read the link? | 17:54 |
| jair | nacc: no yet | 17:54 |
| jair | checking I am trying to see if I can save the server from crash | 17:54 |
| nacc | jair: and then you would change your grub default to pass transparent_hugepage=never | 17:54 |
| Anticom | also when i try to upgrade, i get "the package linux-headers-4.4.0-81-generic needs to be installd again but there's no archive for that" | 17:54 |
| === elysium is now known as Guest45814 | ||
| Anticom | (loosely translated) | 17:54 |
| nacc | Anticom: that kernel is ancient | 17:55 |
| Anticom | nacc: i know but why isn't it in the repos anymore? | 17:55 |
| nacc | Anticom: if you know what you are doing, remove it, and then install the updates | 17:55 |
| Anticom | like how am i supposed to upgrade now | 17:55 |
| === elysium2 is now known as elysium | ||
| Gargravarr | Anticom: that's the reason, it's ancient | 17:55 |
| jair | nacc: http://paste.debian.net/1011527 | 17:55 |
| Gargravarr | you should be able to upgrade to a newer 4.4 kernel without APT stopping you, current is -116 | 17:55 |
| nacc | Gargravarr: not if there is a broken package already | 17:55 |
| Anticom | Gargravarr: how exactly would i do that? apt remove -f the old one and then? | 17:56 |
| nacc | Anticom: it's hard to know what's wrong, immediately, but the package is definitely still in the archive | 17:56 |
| nacc | jair: right, so set that to never, as per the link | 17:56 |
| Gargravarr | possibly to do with these suspicious sources | 17:56 |
| nacc | jair: i don't believe it will free the thp, but i'm not sure | 17:56 |
| z3bra | ok so my fix will only be avail on 16.04.4, so I guess I need to wait... Thanks everyone for your help | 17:57 |
| jair | nacc: you mean I can try now and see if it saves the server? | 17:57 |
| Gargravarr | Anticom: save the Chinese source deb string somewhere for later analysis and put archive.ubuntu.com in its place | 17:57 |
| Anticom | Gargravarr: https://imagebin.ca/v/3sbmC0C3HPJt | 17:58 |
| Anticom | Sorry, it's german | 17:58 |
| Gargravarr | Anticom: s'ok, i can read some German | 17:59 |
| avi_IRC | how to add curl as c++ header file? curl exists but compiler is unable to find. Ubuntu 16.04 | 17:59 |
| Gargravarr | interesting, good to see internationalisation is working well | 17:59 |
| Anticom | hm so tl;dr; he's running xenial (according to lsb_release) however in /etc/apt/sources.list everything is on zesty | 17:59 |
| jair | nacc: I changed it > http://paste.debian.net/1011530 but the memory is still increasing | 18:00 |
| Gargravarr | avi_IRC: libcurl4-gentls-dev | 18:00 |
| Gargravarr | *gnutls | 18:00 |
| jair | nacc: does this will take effect after the reboot of the crash? | 18:00 |
| jair | nacc: perhaps? | 18:00 |
| Gargravarr | Anticom: hmm, that'd work for doing a dist-upgrade (maybe he agreed sometime in the past but cancelled out of it once it reset the sources) | 18:01 |
| Anticom | Gargravarr: i just modified all entries to be xenial | 18:01 |
| Anticom | that shouldn't be an issue right? | 18:01 |
| OerHeks | Anticom, also precise sources?? | 18:01 |
| Anticom | OerHeks: yep, one of them | 18:01 |
| Gargravarr | Anticom: correct, it'll all come back into line now | 18:02 |
| jair | nacc: I wonder if there is some command that can make the memory go back to zero something like for swap swapoff -a or something like that :( | 18:02 |
| OerHeks | really a mess there, not likely a virus/walware, but randomly added sources | 18:02 |
| Gargravarr | especially for an older gent who may not 100% understand what he's clicking on... | 18:03 |
| jair | nacc: > here more details > http://paste.debian.net/1011531 | 18:04 |
| Anticom | OerHeks: he also had some maleware on his firefox. dunno whether i got rid of it completely | 18:04 |
| Anticom | but yes, this machine is a wrek :D | 18:04 |
| Gargravarr | maybe more sensible to back up and nuke from orbit? | 18:06 |
| OerHeks | Anticom, time to do a fresh install,, he'll be back online in 30 minutes | 18:06 |
| jjvvx | to update only one package I just do `# apt-get install package` right? | 18:06 |
| Gargravarr | jjvvx: yep | 18:08 |
| OerHeks | jjvvx, no, install does something different | 18:11 |
| OerHeks | and why update just one package, it might break dependencies... | 18:12 |
| jjvvx | OerHeks: because it's the only package that I need updated atm | 18:12 |
| nacc | jair: tbh, i'd just reboot it and see if the memory doesn't leak | 18:12 |
| jjvvx | also it updated some other dependencies anyway so the latter statement seems to be false | 18:12 |
| Anticom | Running the upgrade now. Thanks for the help guys | 18:13 |
| Gargravarr | just to clarify, it's not the advisable way to do it, sure, but it does work | 18:13 |
| * Gargravarr has used it in the past when on a slow connection but needs an important update | 18:14 | |
| mead | once you install Samba, how do you configure it to join a specific workgroup? | 18:15 |
| jair | nacc: I will see if after the crash the memory leaks again | 18:16 |
| jair | it is going to crash soon | 18:17 |
| jjvvx | Gargravarr: yeah my router's AC adapter decided to die on me so I'm tethered to my phone rn | 18:17 |
| jjvvx | I just needed that one update and I'm on a limited data plan so | 18:17 |

| spec2 | Hi, for a week or so now I've been suffering from what I've been assuming has been buggy video drivers, brought on by an apt upgrade. I've tried different drivers and different ubuntu versions, but get the same result. Nothing appears on the screen smoothly anymore. Nothing can be dragged around the screen without it being horribly jumpy. Mplayer no longer works well. The strange thing is that when i boot from a live cd (installation cd), it seems to work fi | 18:39 |
| Mathisen | debouncer, ok you need to share logs with error message to know more. | 18:40 |
| debouncer | Mathisen which ones? | 18:40 |

| YADW1 | Hello! I'm trying to get some fonts to work on libreoffice, I tried almost every way to install them but never succeeded. I'm on Ubuntu 17.10 | 20:29 |
| grumble2 | Hi, I have a laptop running ubuntu 17.10 (with wayland). Before 17.10, I used to be able to automatically change the screen resolution in shell scripts with "xrandr", however that no longer works. I'm for a way to change the screen resolution from a shell script that works on 17.10. Can anyone help me? | 20:30 |
| YADW1 | Some time ago, I edited /etc/fonts/fonts.conf to include a /WINDOWS/Fonts folder on another partition, which worked until yesterday | 20:31 |
| YADW1 | Now any software other than LibreOffice suite can see and use those fonts. I tried reinstalling the whole suite, deleting any .conf file related to it, even runned a dkpg-reconfigure | 20:33 |
| YADW1 | Nothing at all. I'm getting desperate, can anyone give me a hand? | 20:33 |
| kenrin | Did your fonts have the pfb and afm ? | 20:35 |
| YADW1 | Sorry, I guess I don't know. | 20:35 |
| ducasse | grumble2: there's no way to do that with wayland. by design the desktop should handle that. | 20:37 |
| YADW1 | @kenrin , what exactly do you mean by *having* pfb and afm? | 20:38 |
| grumble2 | ducasse: can I tell the desktop to do it? some weird dbus call? tried digging around but haven't found anything so far | 20:38 |
| craigbass76 | YADW1: Did you try sticking them in /home/you/.fonts/ ? | 20:38 |
| YADW1 | Yup, tried that too. | 20:38 |
| lucka | ioria: but when I am watching a movie in VLC I defenatelly see tear drops like picture is tearing (having intel graphic card) how can I fix this? | 20:38 |
| ducasse | grumble2: afaik it's not even implemted in gnome at all yet, so no. | 20:38 |
| ioria | lucka, try another player, please... mpv is good | 20:39 |
| kenrin | Well if you are using type 1, they dropped support for that last year: http://www.linux-magazine.com/Online/Blogs/Off-the-Beat-Bruce-Byfield-s-Blog/LibreOffice-drops-Type-1-font-support | 20:39 |
| grumble2 | well i can change the resolution in that settings dialog, hmm | 20:39 |
| YADW1 | It's a LibreOffice specific issue I suppose. | 20:39 |
| craigbass76 | Where'd you get the fonts YADW1 ? Wondering if I can duplicate it here | 20:40 |
| ioria | grumble2, you can do it editing the kernel boot line, but never tried | 20:40 |

| YADW1 | They were the fonts I had in another partition, from a Windows XP installation | 20:41 |
| lucka | I did tick the installation of media formats during the installation so codecs "should" be installed | 20:41 |
| ducasse | grumble2: ok, i don't use gnome myself, so i really don't know. you could try asking the gnome people, i expect most of them are on oftc. | 20:41 |
| driveaway | i need help with my att 5268 wifi firmware its causing problems with my ubuntu 14.04 eth0 connections | 20:41 |

| fullstack | Hi, 16.04. I can't apt --anything--, due to /boot. I tried 'apt autoremove' (fails) apt -f autoremove fails, apt install byobu && purge-old-kernels -- byobu fails to install due to apt trying to install stuff in /boot | 20:45 |
| fullstack | I then tried rm -rf /boot/old_kernels* and that failed | 20:46 |
| fullstack | I'm completely stuck. Why does Ubuntu have such a small /boot why can't I just fix this? | 20:46 |
| kenrin | Are you out of space? Do you have more than one kernel installed? | 20:46 |
| lucka | Does ubuntu/xubuntu has some sort of snapshots possibility like if you manage to break system? Like time machine in MacOS or smth similar in WIndows? | 20:46 |
| fullstack | I'm out of space | 20:46 |
| ioria | fullstack, lvm, encryption ? | 20:46 |
| driveaway | hello | 20:46 |
| kenrin | Just delete them manually then fullstack | 20:46 |
| kenrin | Then re-run apt | 20:47 |
| fullstack | I tried deleting them manually | 20:47 |
| fullstack | didn't work | 20:47 |
| kenrin | what command did you use ? | 20:47 |
| lucka | Need to reboot | 20:47 |
| lordcirth_work | lucka, not by default. If you use btrfs as your filesystem, you could take snapshots. Or if using LVM, LVM snapshots. | 20:47 |
| fullstack | rm -rf old kernel files | 20:47 |
| fullstack | do you mean apt remove each one? | 20:47 |
| driveaway | how do i get new firmware for att 5268ac | 20:48 |
| lucka | lordcirth_work: I did tick LVM and system encryption during the installation | 20:48 |
| TJ- | fullstack: I've got a script that cleans that up: http://iam.tj/projects/ubuntu/apt-autoremove-old-kernels | 20:48 |
| kenrin | no, just rm *-4.4.0-103-generic as an example | 20:48 |
| driveaway | can anyone help please | 20:48 |
| kenrin | Then maybe rm *-4.4.0-104-generic if you still need space, the names will depend on what you got installed of course | 20:48 |
| lucka | lordcirth_work: can you give me a link or what should I google in order to enable snapshots for lvm | 20:48 |
| fullstack | Yeah I do that, and then it tries to reinstall them | 20:49 |
| driveaway | my eth0 keeps losing connection | 20:49 |
| fullstack | and then it fills up the space and dies | 20:49 |
| kenrin | Tried to reinstall them?.. | 20:49 |
| driveaway | how do i get new firmware for att 5268ac | 20:50 |
| driveaway | can anyone help please | 20:50 |
| teward | driveaway: you need to talk to AT&T. That doesn't sound like an Ubuntu issue at *all* | 20:51 |
| guacamole_ | My encrypted /home is refusing to mount at login. Using ecryptfs-recover-private, I can mount them read-only to /tmp, but would really like to find a way to restore them to /home without reinstalling. | 20:51 |
| fullstack | yeah So I just rm /boot/*oldkernels-etc-etc-generic | 20:51 |
| fullstack | I have 142mb of space | 20:51 |
| driveaway | teward i did | 20:51 |
| lucka | ioria: I have installed xubuntu extras and rebooted, teardrops present after reboot in vlc and MPV | 20:51 |
| driveaway | they will not provide me any info | 20:51 |
| OerHeks | driveaway, try ##hardware | 20:52 |
| lucka | my graphics card is 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 5500 (rev 09) | 20:52 |
| JimBuntu | driveaway, I'll tell you now that they update them remotely when they see fit. | 20:52 |
| TJ- | guacamole_: how is it refusing to load? messages in syslog/kern.log ? | 20:52 |
| lucka | Halp please. I think this might be related to the graphics card drivers | 20:52 |
| driveaway | my access key is available without having to put it in | 20:53 |
| guacamole_ | TJ-: At graphical login, after putting in my password, I get an error about my .dmrc file having wrong permissions, and then the screen goes black. dropping to shell, I can cd to home, but none of my files are there. | 20:54 |
| guacamole_ | TJ-: I will check the log and come back later. | 20:54 |
| TJ- | guacamole_: OK, hang on, that's relatively simple to fix | 20:55 |
| TJ- | guacamole_: you drop to a shell meaning you press Cltr+Alt+F1 or similar and log-in at the text console? | 20:55 |
| guacamole_ | TJ-: yes | 20:56 |
| TJ- | guacamole_: OK, at that point when logging in at console encrypted home will/should be mounted, so if it isn't then there's something very wrong | 20:57 |
| guacamole_ | TJ-: yeah, something got corrupted when I had to do a reisub i think | 20:58 |
| ricardoramirez | hi | 20:58 |
| ricardoramirez | I am trying to install KDE in Ubuntu 7.10 but I get an error message | 20:58 |
| ricardoramirez | https://imgur.com/a/3QW4d | 20:58 |
| TJ- | guacamole_: ...BUT... the fact your error reports $HOME/.dmrc having incorrect permissions means either a) encrypted home /is/ mounted but that file has wrong permissions so you get logged out, or b) encrypted mount fails but there's a stray $HOME/.dmrc | 20:58 |
| zteam | Hi! Which package are we supposed to install to get adobe flash working in chrome nowadays? | 20:59 |
| TJ- | guacamole_: check /var/log/auth.log, /var/log/kern.log for authentication and/or I/O errors respectively | 20:59 |
| zteam | There is just too many packages available, nowadays | 20:59 |
| ricardoramirez | hi | 20:59 |
| ricardoramirez | I am trying to install KDE in Ubuntu 7.10 but I get an error message | 20:59 |
| ricardoramirez | https://imgur.com/a/3QW4d | 20:59 |
| guacamole_ | TJ-: ok, will check. | 20:59 |
| TJ- | ricardoramirez: I hope you mean 17.10 not 7.10 :D | 21:00 |
| kenrin | 7.10 is end of life | 21:00 |
| ricardoramirez | sorry, 17.10 | 21:00 |
| kenrin | Looks like your mirror is dead ricardoramirez | 21:01 |
| zteam | ricardoramirez, change mirror to the official repo, it can't find the mirror correctly | 21:01 |
| TJ- | ricardoramirez: 404 might just mean the package versions have changed and you need to "sudo apt update" first | 21:01 |
| ricardoramirez | I already did sudo apt update | 21:01 |
| OerHeks | ricardoramirez, i see packages held back, perform dist-upgrade first | 21:02 |
| ricardoramirez | how to change to official repo? | 21:02 |
| TJ- | ricardoramirez: OK, as kenrin says, change the mirror. I've just checked and that mirror doesn't have any version after 17.10.10.8 and your system wants 17.10.10.10 | 21:04 |
| ricardoramirez | ok, but how ? | 21:04 |
| zteam | can somebody please help me to get adobe flash working in chrome? ubuntu 17.10 | 21:05 |
| Mathisen | zteam, any reason you really need adobe flash ? | 21:05 |
| ricardoramirez | ok, I change it to "main server"... it was "Server of Colombia". | 21:06 |
| TJ- | ricardoramirez: that's the one ! | 21:06 |
| ricardoramirez | thanks | 21:06 |
| kenrin | Is flash still installed by default in chrome? You should just need to click the little circled i button (or the https button as I call it) and select allow flash | 21:07 |
| ricardoramirez | can you help me with the sound? | 21:07 |
| ricardoramirez | I have a HP Envy 13 laptop with bang and olufsen, but the sound in Ubuntu is horrible. | 21:07 |
| zteam | Mathisen, yes, there is a webpage I'm using that require Adobe Flash | 21:08 |
| ricardoramirez | ? | 21:08 |
| Mathisen | zteam, https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/net-install-flash.html | 21:08 |
| OerHeks | adobe flash comes with restricted-extras | 21:08 |
| Frank_ | you have sound? | 21:08 |
| zteam | kenrin, I meant chromium not Google chrome | 21:09 |
| Frank_ | my sound only works in headphones and if I right click on a certain spot on the screen | 21:09 |
| ricardoramirez | Yes, but sounds horrible. | 21:09 |
| kenrin | Ah yeah, then you got to install it from the extras | 21:09 |
| Frank_ | I only get sound in headphones | 21:09 |
| OerHeks | !alsa | 21:09 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 21:09 |
| Frank_ | this ubuntu has been a nightmare | 21:09 |
| Frank_ | I've done what ubotta said | 21:09 |
| TJ- | Frank_: what does "pastebinit <( aplay -l )" report? | 21:10 |
| Frank_ | people say "use linux, it's better than windows" three days still can't get sound to work | 21:10 |
| craigbass76 | I'm still not sure I understand how right clicking on anything makes the sound work. | 21:10 |
| Frank_ | no kidding | 21:11 |
| Frank_ | it makes 0 sense | 21:11 |
| guacamole_ | TJ-: I didn't see any i/o errors in kern.log, but in auth.log what stands out is a lot of 'PAM unable to dlopen(pam_kwallet.so)' type messages | 21:11 |
| craigbass76 | You right click on the sound app (VLC, Banshee, etc)? | 21:11 |
| === chat is now known as Guest64380 | ||
| Frank_ | the program pastebinit is not installed | 21:11 |
| TJ- | guacamole_: you can safely ignore all those pam_kwallet messages | 21:11 |
| TJ- | Frank_: what does "cat /etc/issue" report? | 21:12 |
| Frank_ | no | 21:12 |
| Frank_ | Right click above the speaker icon, the volume level, at top of screen. Sometimes that makes sound work through speakers as long as I hold down the mouse button | 21:12 |
| TJ- | craigbass76: I suspect the sound applet/icon on the taskbar is opening somethinh invisible and the press/click is activating something | 21:12 |
| Frank_ | 16.04.3 LTS \n \l | 21:13 |
| zteam | OerHeks, unfournaty installing ubuntu-restricted-extras does not help | 21:14 |
| TJ- | Frank_: ahhh, you're likely using the unity/gnome desktops which dont depend on pastebinit like other DEs do. "sudo apt install pastebinit" then the pastebinit command above ^^^^ | 21:14 |
| zteam | chromium, still doesn't pick up the plugin correctly | 21:14 |
| craigbass76 | Oh, I totally forgot about unity or gnome3 doing strange things... | 21:14 |
| Frank_ | ok | 21:15 |
| kenrin | Did you try directly from the website then zteam ? https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ | 21:15 |
| kenrin | then check about:plugins and enable it | 21:15 |
| Frank_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/B3vMv85qkh/ | 21:16 |
| TJ- | craigbass76: my hypothesis yesterday was there's a 'silent' audio device (like an HDMI audio) been set as the default device but the mouse press causes the built-in card to be used :p | 21:16 |
| Frank_ | yes, but the mouse press only works sometimes | 21:16 |
| craigbass76 | would alsamixer help? I've used that to fix things that weren't showing up in the regular GUI before | 21:16 |
| TJ- | Frank_: weird; I'm getting paste not found | 21:17 |
| Frank_ | we ran through all sorts of alsamixer things over night | 21:17 |
| Frank_ | do caps matter | 21:17 |
| guacamole_ | TJ-: I'm not sure what else I should be seeing :s | 21:17 |
| Frank_ | the last three are qKh | 21:17 |
| TJ- | guacamole_: if you don't see obvious warnings/errors mentioning ecryptfs then the basics seem fine | 21:18 |
| TJ- | Frank_: OK, got it, thanks haha! and I was correct | 21:18 |
| Frank_ | correct about what? | 21:19 |
| Frank_ | I am using whatever was installed | 21:19 |
| Frank_ | I haven't done anything but install Ubuntu | 21:19 |
| TJ- | Frank_: see that? your PC has a HDMI audio and it's set as card 0 which is the default which explains why you're not hearing anything in the normal course of events, so all we have to do is demote that so card 1 becomes card 0 | 21:19 |
| Frank_ | my intention is to have a computer I can use until a new laptop comes | 21:19 |
| TJ- | Frank_: no, it's not you, it's the order the audio devices are discovered | 21:19 |
| Frank_ | ok, so how do I do it? | 21:20 |
| ricardoramirez | thanks for your help | 21:20 |
| ricardoramirez | *bye bye* | 21:20 |
| Frank_ | "Computer, make the speakers work" | 21:20 |
| TJ- | Frank_: hang on, I'm looking for the instructions | 21:20 |
| Bashing-om | !info adobe-flashplugin artful | zteam | 21:21 |
| ubottu | zteam: Package adobe-flashplugin does not exist in artful | 21:21 |
| TJ- | Frank_: show me "pastebinit /proc/asound/modules" | 21:21 |
| Frank_ | this is tough writing this back and forth | 21:21 |
| TJ- | Frank_: I thought you were on the problem PC! It would help :) | 21:22 |
| Mrrton | Hi | 21:22 |
| Frank_ | cwCrzmGTBv | 21:22 |
| zteam | Bashing-om, i can find it in synpatic, but maybe it has been removed, so what to install instead? | 21:23 |
| frankcab | this is it | 21:24 |
| frankcab | ok, I am logged in from the problem computer | 21:24 |
| TJ- | Frank_: aha!, that makes more sense. That shows the 2 devices in your PC are both using the same module, so it's just bad luck the HDMI device is found first | 21:25 |
| Aelius | just discovered snap packages, playing with them. So, if it requires sudo to install a package, then I assume the self updating feature won't work? (that is, unless I sign up for an ubuntu one account) | 21:25 |
| frankcab | SO how do I fix it? | 21:25 |
| TJ- | frankcab: Give me a moment to check the correct procedure in this case, since we can't use the normal procedure (when the modules are different it's easier) | 21:25 |
| Bashing-om | zteam: checking to see what I can find . " sysop@x1604:~$ apt list adobe-flashplugin >> adobe-flashplugin/xenial 1:20180206.1-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 amd64" ; seeing what might have replaced the package in artful . | 21:25 |
| frankcab | I see | 21:25 |
| frankcab | sudo fixthedamnsoundnow /h | 21:26 |
| akik | TJ-: i've used "pacmd set-card-profile ..." to switch between laptop audio and hdmi audio | 21:26 |
| frankcab | I have to go work. But I will leave the chat on | 21:26 |
| rr89 | hi | 21:26 |

| rr89 | i already have installed kubuntu-desktop. how to active kde desktop? | 21:27 |
| magnet_ | selamun aleykum | 21:28 |
| TJ- | frankcab: see https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/NH59PQjMbK/ | 21:31 |
| rr89 | how to active kde desktop? | 21:32 |
| TJ- | guacamole_: that also suggests the home directory /was/ mounted correctly but has incorrect permissions. Do you have a terminal shell on that PC right now? if so can you show me "pastebinit <( mount | grep ecryptfs; id; ls -altr $HOME )" | 21:32 |
| lucka | Ok I would like to add Option "TearFree" "true" to xorg.conf file somewhere in the System. I am using Xubuntu 17.10 where are xorgs.conf file located usually in ubuntu/xubuntu systems? In archlinux is /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf where is in ubuntu/xubuntu? | 21:33 |
| czwolf | Hello! Can someone skilled help me to this: I am connecting to a remote pc with 1.4 TB of free space. Anyway, it looks I have problems with free space. My feeling is it has something to do with a space root uses. When I do df, I get 100% for /dev/root Recently pc even refused my logins through graphical client - and I think it can be caused by that it wanted to write something on disk but could not, so I used text access and rebooted. Some applications | 21:33 |
| czwolf | (servers) keep working even when I am not able to login and some stop to, after some time I observe them (tried a program which creates more data, in docker). Also messages that some system program failed are more frequent now. I am not sure what to do to fix the problem - the free space is on /dev/sda3 where there is only 24% occupied. | 21:33 |
| leftyfb | lucka: /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf | 21:34 |
| leftyfb | lucka: assuming this is for an Intel chipset | 21:34 |
| AmericanBlend | lucka, same place | 21:34 |
| lucka | leftyfb: I don't have "xoreg.conf.d" directory | 21:34 |
| adman120 | anyone have an openvpn client inside of a lxc | 21:34 |
| lucka | AmericanBlend: don't have "xorg.conf.d" directory | 21:34 |
| AmericanBlend | mkdir | 21:34 |
| Menzie | lucka - It's in /usr/share/X11/, not /etc/X11/ | 21:34 |
| lucka | Menzie: ah! Thank you | 21:35 |
| lucka | Missed that | 21:35 |
| leftyfb | czwolf: you need to clean space | 21:35 |
| akik | lucka: the configs are also read from /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ (it doesn't exist by default) | 21:36 |
| guacamole_ | TJ-: https://pastebin.com/EfYrbs0m | 21:36 |
| TJ- | czwolf: as you say it sounds like the root file-system has run out of space, so you need to identify files that can be deleted to free some up, or if possible enlarge the root file-system | 21:36 |
| leftyfb | adman120: please ask a support question, not for people to take a survey | 21:36 |
| czwolf | leftyb It is possible taht system runs about 5 years now. What would you suggest? | 21:36 |
| leftyfb | czwolf: I suggest cleaning up some space | 21:36 |
| Bashing-om | zteam: I have conflicting tutorials to install flash . Not at all sure of a best means to proceed as I do not have a 17.10 install to test . | 21:37 |
| leftyfb | czwolf: at 1.4TB, 99% of that has nothing to do with applications or system file. Maybe logs. | 21:37 |
| adman120 | I'm having an issue where I'm getting this error while trying to run openvpn as a client in a lxc: openvpn.service: Failed to reset devices.list: Operation not permitted | 21:37 |
| nacc | adman120: probably needs to be privileged | 21:37 |
| nacc | adman120: you should check in #lxcontainers | 21:37 |
| adman120 | it is | 21:37 |
| adman120 | thanks | 21:38 |
| TJ- | guacamole_: That looks very bad; it looks like you've managed to totally delete the original directory. Let's look further: "pastebinit <( ls -latr /home/ /home/.ecryptfs/ /home/.ecryptfs/mike/ )" | 21:38 |
| leftyfb | adman120: use sudo | 21:38 |
| adman120 | I'm running as root | 21:38 |
| czwolf | TJ- Enlargin the root file-system sounds good to me. So you suggest partitioning yes? I athink i can for sure sacrifice some space from that 1.4 TB .. | 21:38 |
| adman120 | just to test | 21:38 |
| TJ- | czwolf: enlarging is sometimes not possible unless the system is using LVM | 21:39 |
| guacamole_ | TJ-: ok, but remember, I can still find and mount my files (read only) to /tmp with ecryptfs-utils | 21:39 |
| leftyfb | czwolf: so you have a server with 1.4TB being used up, but don't know what it is and you think the solution is to add more space? I think your issue is something is eating up space and giving it more is just prolonging the inevitable | 21:39 |
| TJ- | guacamole_: yes, I know, they actually live (encrypted) in /home/.ecryptfs/$USER/.Private/ which is why I'm checking those; then we can sort things out | 21:40 |
| leftyfb | czwolf: how big is your root filesystem? | 21:40 |
| adman120 | also why are you not using zfs | 21:40 |
| guacamole_ | TJ-: https://pastebin.com/dq5WiY8P | 21:40 |
| TJ- | guacamole_: thanks, right, give me a couple of minutes to test the solution here safely, then I'll give you the commands | 21:41 |
| czwolf | leftyb - 1.4 TB is free ond /dev/sda3 , df says this about root: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on | 21:41 |
| czwolf | /dev/root 20026236 18985904 0 100% / | 21:41 |
| leftyfb | czwolf: df -h / | 21:42 |
| TJ- | guacamole_: Right. That directory "$HOME/server_music" - do you need to preserve it ? | 21:43 |
| leftyfb | czwolf: please don't paste more than a line here ... use pastebin or just look up the total space and mention it here | 21:43 |
| guacamole_ | TJ-: No, it was just a mount point for a network share | 21:43 |
| czwolf | leftyb /dev/root 20G 19G 0 100% / | 21:43 |
| nacc | so root isn't so large, you can just start seeing what's taking up space, czwolf :) | 21:44 |
| leftyfb | czwolf: ok, so 20G total | 21:44 |
| Aelius | Is there an easy way to browse the snap repository? | 21:44 |
| czwolf | Macc I see ... :/ So there is a chance I cannot enlarge this yes? | 21:44 |
| Aelius | without searching | 21:45 |
| leftyfb | czwolf: englargign is not the answer | 21:45 |
| nacc | czwolf: what leftyb said | 21:45 |
| nacc | Aelius: #snappy is probably the right place to ask | 21:45 |
| leftyfb | czwolf: if your roof is leaking, do you just get bigger and more buckets? | 21:45 |

| guacamole_ | TJ-: It seems rw... but it is it's own partition | 22:00 |
| mint | okay but its on ubuntu right? | 22:00 |
| OerHeks | mint has its own issues | 22:00 |
| TJ- | guacamole_: hmmm, let's do some more checking to try to figure out what is going on. Maybe it's out of space? "df -h /home; df -i /home" | 22:00 |
| mint | its a simple think for you its about partition and so | 22:01 |
| mead | what app fills the same roll as "device manager" does in windows? | 22:01 |
| mint | i will short explain | 22:01 |
| TJ- | mead: a variety: lspci for PCI devices lsusb for USB, lswh for everything | 22:01 |
| guacamole_ | TJ-: 79% used, 3% used inodes | 22:02 |
| mead | TJ-: are those accessed in CLI or through the gui? | 22:02 |
| OerHeks | lshw lspci lsusb lscpu dmidecode | 22:03 |
| TJ- | guacamole_: so not that. Hmmm, when you ran the script you saw permission denied messages. Can you run it again so it's output is sent to pastebin so I can see? "bash /tmp/fix-ecryptfs.sh |& pastebinit " | 22:03 |
| TJ- | mead: CLI | 22:04 |
| guacamole_ | TJ-: https://pastebin.com/m9xz7cUS | 22:05 |
| mint | i have a ruling installation / and /swap on one hd and /home on another one, than the hd from /home crashed, so I changed in another one, I start a linux from dvd and change the fstab entry so now the system is going to the point of user login but than says something about the rights of /home that the user I will login not have the rights, where can I change this? | 22:05 |
| mead | TJ-: how about a GUI app? | 22:06 |
| adman120 | why does my system show 45gb of ram used when each vm is using less than 4 | 22:07 |
| TJ- | guacamole_: does /home/mike/server_music have something mounted on it right now? "mount | grep music" | 22:07 |
| TJ- | !ram | adman120 | 22:08 |
| ubottu | adman120: If you are wondering why some tools report your system has very little free memory, have a look at http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | 22:08 |
| guacamole_ | TJ-: yep, it looks like it | 22:08 |
| TJ- | guacamole_: aaaaahh! can you 'umount' it first and try again | 22:08 |
| TJ- | guacamole_: and check if something else is actually mount on your /home/mike too - that'd explain why some commands might fail | 22:09 |
| adman120 | bruh why tf is my swap 8gib | 22:09 |
| guacamole_ | TJ-: at umount, it says not mounted. It is mounted as type fuse.sshfs if that makes any difference | 22:10 |
| TJ- | guacamole_: ah, so you need to do "fusermount -u /home/mike/server_music" | 22:11 |
| guacamole_ | TJ-: ok i found how to fusermount -u, but no entry found in /etc/mtab | 22:11 |
| TJ- | guacamole_: you'll need "sudo " prefix there too I guess | 22:11 |
| TJ- | guacamole_: better show me "pastebinit /proc/mounts" :) | 22:11 |
| guacamole_ | TJ-: https://pastebin.com/VztAJTtt | 22:13 |
| === so_ is now known as syedomar | ||
| TJ- | guacamole_: that looks like you've got an autofs mount on /home/mike as well as the sshfs on /home/mike/server_music | 22:14 |
| czwolf | leftyfb I think I found that my problem was caused by Docker install, so I should find a way for it how to save data somewhere else - Biggest I have 2.8 GiB [##########] /docker from yesterday and 1.1 GiB [##########] mail.log.1 which has acumulated during the years. You helped me and some others too, ncdu is pretty handy, thank you! | 22:14 |
| guacamole_ | TJ-: if i disable networking and reboot, will that help? | 22:15 |
| TJ- | guacamole_: try "sudo umount --lazy /home/mike/server_music && sudo umount --lazy /home/mike && echo YAY" | 22:15 |
| TJ- | guacamole_: noooo, I need network :D | 22:15 |
| TJ- | guacamole_: it's my eyes at the moment :p | 22:15 |
| TJ- | guacamole_: is there a possibility you have some music-player holding open files in /home/mike/server_music ? | 22:16 |
| guacamole_ | TJ-: yes, i suppose that is possible. let me disconnect that server anyway | 22:16 |
| TJ- | guacamole_: if you do you may leave hanging file-descriptors which block us from fixing it | 22:17 |
| guacamole_ | TJ-: ok | 22:17 |
| TJ- | guacamole_: lets try stopping the autofs service; is it 16.04 there? | 22:18 |
| guacamole_ | TJ-: yes | 22:18 |
| guacamole_ | TJ-: ok i stopped it | 22:20 |
| TJ- | guacamole_: let's try this then: "sudo systemctl stop autofs" then check if those mounts have gone with "grep mike /proc/mounts" | 22:20 |
| TJ- | guacamole_: once you've confirmed the mounts are unmounted you can re-run the script :D | 22:20 |
| TJ- | guacamole_: might be a good idea to /disable/ the autofs for now since it is the cause of this problem. | 22:21 |
| TJ- | guacamole_: "sudo systemctl disable autofs" | 22:21 |
| guacamole_ | TJ-: ok! the script printed 'all done' :) can i reboot? | 22:26 |
| TJ- | guacamole_: no... in the console just log-out and log-in again to test it. "exit" to log-out | 22:27 |
| TJ- | guacamole_: check your files are there (which confirms the ecryptfs is correctly mounted)... if so, Ctrl+Alt+F7 to get the GUI greeter login, and test login there too | 22:28 |
| guacamole_ | TJ-: 'Refusing to mount over an unapproved filesystem type: 0x187' | 22:28 |
| guacamole_ | TJ-: ls shows Access-your-private-data.desktop, and readme.tx | 22:28 |
| TJ- | guacamole_: urghhh!?!? I've never seen that error before! Are you sure you managed to do the unmounts? | 22:28 |
| TJ- | guacamole_: "grep mike /proc/mounts" --- anything reported? | 22:29 |
| guacamole_ | TJ-: yes, it looks like the network shares are still mounted | 22:29 |
| TJ- | guacamole_: darn, let's try ridding ourselves of them again! "sudo fusermount -u /home/mike/server_music" then re-check | 22:30 |
| TJ- | guacamole_: if that doesn't work try "sudo umount --lazy /home/mike/server_music" and re-check | 22:30 |
| TJ- | guacamole_: if it's still there some process must be holding a file open | 22:30 |
| guacamole_ | TJ-: failed to unmount /home/mike/server_music: no such file or directory | 22:31 |
| TJ- | guacamole_: OK, I give in! As long as you've /disabled/ autofs, reboot it to clean things up, then I'm guessing you'll be able to log-in | 22:32 |
| guacamole_ | TJ-: with the lazy, i got 'mountpoint not found' | 22:32 |
| TJ- | guacamole_: it must have got itself very confused, so reboot that sucker :D | 22:33 |
| guacamole_ | TJ-: rebooting. I really appreciate all your help. it's been a rough week. | 22:33 |
| Roden | what the f? | 22:35 |
| Roden | hppoih | 22:35 |
| guacamole_ | TJ-: It worked! Thank you so much. I mean it. Last night I was so happy, just that I found and decrypted my files, and today you helped me avoid a total reinstall of my system. I hope I can do the same for someone else one day. Enjoy you day/night :) | 22:36 |
| TJ- | guacamole_: YAY! glad we got it. Don't allow autofs to mount inside your $HOME as root like that, I suspect that is what broke it. | 22:36 |
| TJ- | guacamole_: Instead, I recommend you create a directory /mnt/server_music and configure your /etc/fstab to mount it there. /THEN/ from your $HOME you could create a symbolic link to it, as in "ln -s /mnt/server_music $HOME/server_music" | 22:37 |
| guacamole_ | TJ-: good call. I never would have guessed, since my problem started with a system freeze and reisub. it just so happened to be the first reboot since i used those mounts. | 22:38 |

| zteam | Bashing-om, thanks for your time, I managed to fix it | 23:11 |
| zteam | :) | 23:11 |
| no_maam | Hi | 23:13 |
| Jordan_U | TJ-: Remember the general form needs to be "echo foo | sudo tee -a /root/writeable/file" as otherwise it's still the shell, running as a non root user, trying to write to the file. | 23:13 |
| Bashing-om | zteam: And for posterity - what is your solution ? | 23:13 |
| TJ- | Jordan_U: for what? | 23:14 |
| no_maam | I have a small problem, I used a software that needs firefox 45 on ubuntu 16.04 (xenial) LTS. Now I would like to install a new system and have firefox 45 on that system. However it looks like firefox has been upgraded to 57 or 58 in all repositories. | 23:15 |
| no_maam | Does anyone know which repositories I have to disable or enable to get the original version of firefox that was shipped? | 23:15 |
| OerHeks | no_maam, no, you can make a vm of xenial without updates https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseNotes | 23:17 |
| OerHeks | thaat gives FF 45 | 23:17 |
| no_maam | OerHeks: OK, so that means just download the iso and cut the network? | 23:18 |
| TJ- | no_maam: you can download it manually and install it using "sudo dpkg -i filename.deb" from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/firefox/ | 23:18 |
| mutante | no_maam reminds me of Al Bundy and Married With Childredn.. flash from the past | 23:18 |
| no_maam | TJ-: sure, but it also has some dependencies, so getting it with apt would be much more convenient | 23:19 |
| no_maam | mutante: yep, the nick (and also I) am that old | 23:19 |
| pinnerup | Does anyone know of a program for Ubuntu or Linux in general that shows which installed fonts support a given unicode range? Like if I want to find out which of my installed fonts support, say, Phoenician? | 23:19 |
| zteam | Bashing-om, the packages needed for flash seems to be browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash pepperflashplugin-nonfree installing them makes flash useable again :-) I didn't relalize that worker at first, because the plugin doesn't show itself under extentions in chromium | 23:19 |
| mutante | no_maam: haha, old enough to recognize it :) | 23:20 |
| Bashing-om | zteam: Yepper, glad to have the confirmation as I did see that as a solution - but I am not able to test and verify . | 23:21 |
| no_maam | OerHeks: what surprises me is that firefox has been updated even in the normal repository: https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=firefox https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/firefox | 23:21 |
| no_maam | OerHeks: as far as I understand debian and ubuntu, it's supposed to be update only in the backports or -updates repository, but not in the normal one | 23:22 |
| zteam | Bashing-om, thanks for your time man I really appreicate it :-) | 23:22 |
| Jordan_U | frankcab: I'll have a working pastebin for you to use in a minute. | 23:24 |
| frankcab | ok thanks | 23:24 |
| Jordan_U | TJ-: Sorry, for frankcab. My plan was to immediately make a new pastebin for them but I got taken away by other duties before I could. | 23:24 |
| frankcab | ok | 23:25 |
| OerHeks | no_maam, you could try !pinning but that would be a hack to keep such vulnerable browser version | 23:26 |
| OerHeks | !pinning | 23:26 |
| ubottu | pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 23:26 |
| Jordan_U | frankcab: Here is a fixed version of TJ-'s instructions. Note that I've only checked the permissions side of things, I don't know enough about alsa configuration to know if that portion is correct (but I assume it is, because TJ- know's what they're doing :) http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/GGCx6CqhDp/ | 23:28 |
| TJ- | Jordan_U: oh, duh! of course - I see what you mean now :D | 23:28 |
| OerHeks | i wonder of one could update certificates in such old browser | 23:29 |
| TJ- | Jordan_U: last I saw he's gone off to work... Bashing-om is going to keep an eye open for him returning | 23:29 |
| Jordan_U | s/know's/knows/ | 23:29 |
| glsmaxx | hello | 23:30 |
| * Bashing-om keeps an eye out . | 23:30 | |
| TJ- | lol | 23:30 |
| frankcab | Thanks. Now I am rebooting to see if it worked. | 23:30 |
| TJ- | oooo you scared me! | 23:30 |
| Frankcab | Ran that script you pasted, rebooted, still no sound from speakers | 23:33 |
| TJ- | Frankcab: so many it didn't take | 23:33 |
| Frankcab | so many what? | 23:34 |
| TJ- | Frankcab: or possibly it did, but the sound output isn't correct. | 23:34 |
| Frankcab | ah | 23:34 |
| TJ- | Frankcab: need to think of how we can programmatically check which it might be, more research required :) | 23:35 |
| Frankcab | ok, thanks | 23:35 |
| TJ- | Frankcab: we need 2 things: 1) prove that the built-in card 1 is now the default and 2) get some sound out of it | 23:35 |
| Frankcab | right | 23:35 |
| OerHeks | alsamixer, f6 | 23:38 |
| TJ- | Frankcab: can you show us "pastebinit <( aplay -L )" | 23:38 |
| Frankcab | http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/kpXW247Ptt/ | 23:39 |
| TJ- | Frankcab: try this: "speaker-test -Dfront -l 2 -c 2 -t wav" | 23:43 |
| Frankcab | "Playback open error: -2,No such file or directory" | 23:43 |
| TJ- | Frankcab: is it a laptop or desktop PC? | 23:44 |
| Frankcab | laptop | 23:44 |
| TJ- | Frankcab: OK, let's do this another way. "sudo apt install pavucontrol" - this is the PulseAudio GUI controller application | 23:53 |
| Frankcab | it is already installed | 23:53 |
| TJ- | OK, start it "pavucontrol" then go to the "Output Devices" tab. I expect you'll see 2 devices, the HDMI and the Built-in, is that correct? | 23:54 |
| Frankcab | eifhr | 23:54 |
| Frankcab | right | 23:54 |
| TJ- | Frankcab: OK, for the "Built-in Audio" look to the right side, there are 3 icons, a speaker, a shield, and a green tick roundal... that last selects the default device. Press it. | 23:55 |
| Frankcab | built in audio digital stereo hdmi and built in audio analog stereo | 23:55 |
| Frankcab | they both say built in audio | 23:55 |
| TJ- | OK, ignore the one with "HDMI" in it | 23:56 |
| Frankcab | ok | 23:56 |
| Crusher | sudo apt install build-essential app <-- not working on my WLS/ubuntu, getting many many 404's | 23:56 |
| TJ- | Frankcab: test your sound now | 23:56 |
| Frankcab | right now for port it shows "speakers (unavailable) | 23:56 |
| TJ- | Frankcab: Great! We finally have a clue | 23:56 |
| Frankcab | speakers not working, headphone working | 23:56 |
| TJ- | Frankcab: in the drop down are there any other options? | 23:57 |
| TJ- | just speakers and headphone ? | 23:57 |
| Frankcab | hold on | 23:57 |
| Frankcab | both speakers and headphones not working now | 23:57 |
| TJ- | Frankcab: :p | 23:57 |
| TJ- | Frankcab: did te default device change back to the HDMI ? | 23:57 |
| Frankcab | I see. If I change port to headphones, then the headphones work | 23:57 |
| TJ- | Frankcab: go to the "Configuration" tab | 23:58 |
| Frankcab | looks like the default is the built in analog stereo | 23:58 |
| Frankcab | I am there | 23:58 |
| TJ- | For the Built-in audio analogue" try some of the other profiles. "Analogue Stereo Duplex" is the usual one for laptops | 23:59 |
| Frankcab | it's already analog stereo duplex | 23:59 |
| TJ- | 'duplex' means it also enables the microphone input as well as speaker output | 23:59 |
| TJ- | Try some of the others | 23:59 |
