pragmaticenigmalighthunter, can you pastbin the results of "lspci -nnv" for us?00:02

MeaCulpadoes anyone know a quick easy way to install VPN00:06
pragmaticenigmano such thing as quick and easy... especially when you need to give us more information on what you are trying to do00:07
aroonihow to handle circumstance: cd /var/log/; cd letsencrypt ; #permission denied.  do i have to switch to sudo?  via su root or something?00:08
MeaCulpawell essentially I would like to make tunnelbear work on ubuntu 16.0400:08
krytarikarooni: "sudo -i"00:09
pragmaticenigmaMeaCulpa, tunnelbear should be able to provide you documentation on how to set that up00:09

pragmaticenigmaMeaCulpa, https://www.tunnelbear.com/blog/linux_support/00:10
bazhangMeaCulpa, that includes on how to set it up using ubuntu LTS00:10
MeaCulpaI have a feeling they don't support it there is nothing about linux on their site, no worries I will have to find someone who does support00:12
bazhangMeaCulpa, I just gave you a link that shows how to do it00:13
MeaCulpathanks pragmaticenigma, I didn't see that00:14
* pragmaticenigma thinks MeaCulpa needs some new glasses??00:14
bazhangMeaCulpa, whose link are you checking00:14
pragmaticenigmabazhang, we both sent the exact same link00:15

pragmaticenigmaThank you lighthunter ... Are you able to verify that the NVidia Graphics card is enabled? Is it possible to set the NVidia as the only active graphics chipset?00:27
=== peroni2 is now known as peroni
lighthuntersure thing, pragmaticenigma. according to NVIDIA's level 2 tech support person, the fact that the NVIDIA graphics card is listed in the output of lspci establishes that it is enabled. i have Wayland disabled, and my /etc/X11/xorg.conf begins with:00:38
lighthunterSection "ServerLayout"00:38
lighthunter    Identifier "layout"00:38
lighthunter    Screen 0 "nvidia"00:38
lighthunter    Inactive "intel"00:38
lighthunterEndSection00:38
lighthunteri can try to see if there is a way to disable the Intel graphics card in the BIOS. does that sound like the right idea?00:39
pragmaticenigmaIt couldn't hurt to check, I'm not sure about the need for xorg.conf though. The more recent editions auto generate one on boot... I don't see any harm in it at the moment00:42
pragmaticenigmalighthunter, I know this question has been raised a few times here... TJ- I think has had many of the answers in the past, however they are appear to unavailable at the moment. I know TJ- is often most active around 19:00 UTC00:44
lighthunterty, pragmaticenigma. will keep an eye out for TJ-.00:48

TJ-lighthunter: pragmaticenigma Oh I'm around, but have been hacking on some Firefox bug workarounds :)00:57
lighthunteroh cool, sounds interesting. no rush, but the question i was asking was https://askubuntu.com/questions/1008599/no-audio-over-hdmi-on-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1050-ti (no audio over HDMI on an Optimus laptop).00:59
pragmaticenigmanice TJ- ... I'm stumpped for lighthunter... they'd like audio through HDMI, but aren' receiving any audio01:00
lighthunterbe right back. i am trying https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA_Optimus#Using_nvidia, which recommends rebooting.01:04

xcyclistHow do I tell what kind of docker apt installed?01:17
xcyclistI am on this Yocto tutorial which requires Docker CE Stable01:18
lighthunterhttps://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA_Optimus#Using_nvidia didn't have an effect on my issue.01:18
kenrinShould be pretty easy to tell xcyclist.  You need to sign up and pay for the enteprise version so you should know01:26
FreakingOut1987is there a way to run debconf-get-selections for something you haven't installed? Someone recommended apt-get -d install but it does not seem to be working01:27
TJ-lighthunter: I have a script that lets me grab all your issue comments into a single window... I've just gone back over it and read the askubuntu post. I think Rudi's solution is the correct approach but I suspect the values (addresses) passed to setpci may be different for the device in your PC, so that's the first thing for us to research01:27
xcyclistAh, they want my money.  Alas, I have little.01:30
compdocalas01:31
xcyclistCE stands for community edition.  That sounds like for free.01:31
xcyclistBut all version says is: Docker version 1.13.1, build 092cba301:31
TJ-lighthunter: I've been reading the patches that fix this in the kernel. There's a comment reporting that the lack of Nvidia HDMI audio device only usually happens if the HDMI monitor  *is not* connected at power-on. Have you tested the PC by having the HDMI monitor connected and powered when the PC is powered on?01:32
xcyclistMy version says:  Docker version 1.13.1, build 092cba301:32
kenrinUnless you manually installed the repo for edge you have stable.  Also,  that is way out of date01:33
lighthunterYes, I have tried both ways, and neither works.01:34
therave39hey everyone, I'm having issues with a laptop touchpad under both libinput and x11 that I could use some help diagnosing01:36
lighthunteri wondered whether i was passing the right arguments to setpci as well, but i haven't figured out how to tell what the correct arguments would be.01:36
lighthunteraccording to https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1024022/linux/gtx-1060-no-audio-over-hdmi-only-hda-intel-detected-azalia/post/5211273/#5211273: "you can figure out your PCI topology with "lspci -t" but interpreting the results is pretty tricky."01:37
lighthunterand indeed i have no idea what https://pastebin.com/b4CCm8iP means.01:37
TJ-lighthunter: that's a bad example command; it makes more sense to append the names when using the --tree view. Try this: "lspci -tvnn" - it doesn't help you at all except in letting you see the connection heirachy of the PCI devices01:40
lighthunterlspci -tv is less obtuse: https://pastebin.com/ZdrwT3xw.01:40
lighthunterha ha, looks like we had the same idea. here is lspci -tvnn: https://pastebin.com/59P7it1X.01:41

pragmaticenigmaTJ-, after having some time to clear my head, i think I've narrowed my focus down in my monitor screen corruption01:56
gioanhello I cannot run lbp2900 printer01:57
gioanmy ubuntu 32 bit01:57
pragmaticenigmaTJ-, do you know of anything that would reduce the sensitivity to a wake event when the system attempts to power save the monitor?01:57
pragmaticenigmaTJ-, I've been playing with xset dpms... and have found that when manually trigger standby, suspend, even off the screen will sometimes stay off, and sometimes and blanks out for a moment and comes right back01:58
pragmaticenigmaTJ-, I remember reading something that there is a way to put a wait event or similar timer before the computer would react to wake event (sort of like a debounce setting for the keyboard)01:59
TJ-pragmaticenigma: that /usually/ would be an input device causing it. And nowadays some weird devices are input devices, even webcams! Might be worth using something like evdev or similar to monitor input device events whilst the monitor is in 'sleep'02:00
lighthunterTJ-: you nailed it. that solved my problem. (technically i used https://github.com/hhfeuer/nvhda instead since that allowed me to use DKMS, which i believe improves the chances this fix keeps working once i upgrade my kernel.)02:00
TJ-Does the 'wake' happen when /not/ using the GUI - using console only with no X server running02:01
lighthunterOde to Joy is playing out of my monitor speakers :).02:01
pragmaticenigmaTJ-, even on this old of a machine (refreshing your memory that it's circa 2004, no webcams)02:01
TJ-lighthunter: That's great news!02:01
lighthunterthank you for the help!02:01
pragmaticenigmaYes, it happens in both GUI and Console modes TJ-02:01
TJ-lighthunter: from what I read the only thing the driver doesn't do is reapply that toggle on wake from suspend02:01
lighthunterduely noted02:01
lighthunteri can probably script something that runs sudo tee /proc/acpi/nvhda <<<ON on wake from suspend.02:02
TJ-lighthunter: would be trivial to add a function to call nvhda_on() in a resume callback02:03
pragmaticenigmaor lighthunter ... find a reason not to suspend your desktop, like running a BOINC client and joining one of the hundreds of distributed computer projects :-)02:03
leptoneI have a dual boot machine ubuntu / win 10 it currently boots to ubuntu firtst after showing the GRUB menu02:04
leptone**ubuntu by default02:04
lighthunterhe he, i used to run BOINC; i will consider reinstalling it.02:04
leptoneI'd like to boot to wwindows by default after grub menu02:04
leptoneI've gathered that I need to edit /etc/default/grub02:05
leptoneand change this line GRUB_DEFAULT=002:05
TJ-pragmaticenigma: if it happens in a console-only session I'd definitely want to monitor all input device events. You might also be able to use dynamic_debug to get more info from the drivers handling the dpms sleep/wake - not sure where that'd be though, possibly in KMS (kernel mode setting)02:05
leptonebut to what?02:05
eftmis anyone aware of a commandline way to get windows to snap left/right? i don't want to use wmctrl b/c i'd rather not have to know the actual screen size02:06
TJ-leptone: if you can "pastebinit /boot/grub/grub.cfg" I can tell you02:06
lighthunterTJ-: i have never written kernel code before. any advice on how to write a resume callback/what docs i should refer to?02:06
leptoneTJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/vXpf8vbJBQ/02:07
TJ-lighthunter: if you like I can fork that github DKMS project and you can 'watch' my repo where I can add the code (might be a couple of days before I get around to it though)02:07
pragmaticenigmaTJ-, how would I monitor that? what would I want to enable to have it log to syslog or it's own logfile02:07
lighthunterworks for me. happy to write it myself if there's some example you know of of a resume callback somewhere.02:09
TJ-leptone: you need to add to /etc/default/grub   GRUB_DEFAULT="Windows Boot Manager (on /dev/sdc1)"    then do "sudo update-grub"02:09
TJ-lighthunter: there's plenty of those in the Linux kernel source :)02:09
lighthunterha ha, i'm sure there are; i just don't know where to look.02:12
john__is there anyone know what is the key under backspace in onboard?02:16
pragmaticenigmaI don't understand your question john__ can try to be a more specific?02:18
TJ-lighthunter: see the description of the ->resume callback in "Leaving system suspend" section of the driver API at https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/driver-api/pm/devices.html#calling-drivers-to-enter-and-leave-system-sleep-states02:18
leptoneTJ-, thanks!02:21
john__pragmaticenigma: there is a key which is under backspace and above enter in onboard keyboard, and it is useless02:21
lighthunterty TJ-!02:22
john__pragmaticenigma: do you install onboard?02:26
john__it is a onscreen keyboard02:27
pragmaticenigmaI have not intentionally installed it john__02:29
pragmaticenigmajohn__, because keyboard layouts can vary countries and even manufactures, it would be really hard to tell what the key your seeing represents02:29
john__ok, you still can google onboard and got the picture about it02:30
john__I just wonder why author put that a meaningless key in there02:30
TJ-lighthunter: there's some more info in the source  Documentation/driver-model/ - e.g. this bit in the "Declaration" section shows the .suspend and .resume callback functions added to the struct device_driver - you'd only need .resume = yourresumefunc  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/driver-model/driver.txt02:30
pragmaticenigmaperhaps if you sent a link to the image that represents the layout you are seeing, I could better tell you what the key might be for02:31
rociohello02:32
guivercjohn__, the person who wrote it probably did the best they could at the time, we all make mistakes (and overlook little things), have good & bad days.  i've used onboard and never had issues with it, nor documentation (but I only write/read/type english)02:33
holperhi02:35
pragmaticenigmaguiverc, I believe john__ might be setup for a locale other than one that is for English.02:35
rociocool02:36
guiverci guessed that.. hence i've not seen the issue.   if the doco lacks in a specific language, the best way to fix it is to offer to help fix it :)02:36
pragmaticenigmajohn__, If your seeing a key with an X inside of a box, that is the DEL key or Delete key. Which deletes characters that follow or are to the right of the character (for languages that read right to left)02:36
pragmaticenigmaguiverc, I don't think they're having a problem, just curious what the purpose is02:37

john__pragmaticenigma: you are right02:38
pragmaticenigmaTJ-, looking at my logs about the only thing that I'm currently seeing log power event changes is Xorg.0.log... is there another log file to be looking at? especially one that might capture kernel level? syslog doesn't appear to be capturing anything02:39
john__it is the delete key02:39
pragmaticenigmaglad I could help. It was a guess, as when I run onboard, the key appears to the right of the backspace and above the enter key02:40
john__can I remove the bar on the left side of gnome02:42
TJ-pragmaticenigma: I don't see much that would be helpful in dynamic_debug but you might notice something. see /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control  -- these are kernel sourcecode files, line numbers, and debug messages you can potentially enable to get those messages reported by the kernel. There are a few related to the input sub-system devices but the coverage doesn't look to be extensive.02:43
TJ-pragmaticenigma: info in using dynamic_debug @ https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/admin-guide/dynamic-debug-howto.rst02:44

pikapikaHi all06:55
pikapikaI am having a strange problem06:55
pikapikaI have let my previous Windows non-OS drives as it is as NTFS systems. Previously they were mounted on /media with a longer name since I didnt know much of Unix then, and feared conflict with any system mounts.06:56
pikapikaIt also had the added advantage that file managers showed the partitions as mounted storage06:57
pikapikain the left pane06:57
pikapikaI forgot to mention the mount was effected by adding lines to fstab06:57
pikapikaI also had symlinks in home folder to them06:58
pikapikaRecently I decided that since they were from the internal hard disk and permanently mounted, so /mnt/ would be a more suitable mount point.06:58
pikapikaSo I unmounted them, edited fstab then rebooted.06:58
lotuspsychjepikapika: backup your data & reformat the hd?06:58
pikapikaNo data is fine06:59
pikapikaListen to me fully first06:59
pikapikaAlso yeah I cleared the xfce session06:59
pikapikaSo now every alternate boot it shows a slightly older state of the hard disk06:59
lotuspsychjepikapika: try to write your issue all in one line mate06:59
pikapikaThe more notable differences are that I changed theme and wallpaper recently. The older state is from slightly before these changes. When I reboot again, the proper state is shown again. Also the first time after editing fstab the shutdown took a long time. Sometime after booting it drops a crash log of plymouth. What might be the cause?07:01
pikapikaI think I have explained myself fully now.07:01
pikapikaloyuspsychje07:02
pikapikalotuspsychje07:02
pikapikaOh I forgot to say, the mounted folders display fine in shell, file manager, etc regardless. Just that when its in the older state, it well shows the older state with some new files missing, the wallpaper file missing, etc whereas in the normal state it shows everything correctly07:03
pikapikaSo any idea what might be the issue?07:04
lotuspsychjepikapika: alot of text, but your missing essential details: ubuntu version? what did you change in fstab? system up to date to latest?07:05
pikapikaOh sorry. Here goes: Ubuntu lts 16.04 version, pretty updated, old by at most a day or two. Heres the output of uname -a: "Linux person 4.13.0-36-generic #40~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Feb 16 23:25:58 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux" I am writing down the fstab change below:07:06
pikapikaHm funny07:06
pikapikaIt auto changed the fstab now. Previously through all these changes it always showed the fstab exactly as I had edited it07:07
pikapikaRight now its: #UUID=xxxxxx /mnt/e ntfs defaults,x-gvfs-name=E%20drive 0 007:07
pikapikasame for the other drive. Commented out as I had done07:08

lotuspsychje!uuid | pikapika doublecheck here07:08
ubottupikapika doublecheck here: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)07:08
pikapikaBut funny thing it, in the previous reboot it was showing the uncommented older state as opposed to my edit that commented it out. And options was defaults, it changed them to these07:08
pikapikaAnd before all this fiasco, the only different was that instead of /mnt/e it was /media/longer_name07:09
pikapikaYes, they exactly match the fstab uuids07:10
lotuspsychje!sound | theorchid07:10
ubottutheorchid: 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 !mp3.07:10
theorchidubottu, I checked all that07:10
ubottutheorchid: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)07:10
theorchidNo luck07:10
theorchidI think i need to mess with ALSA configs from what I've read, but I wouldn't know where to start07:11
pikapikaAnd sometimes during boot it says "running [some job] n/5" on /sda/n dont exactly remember but it had a timer and took like 10-11 sec07:12
pikapikaSo apparently something is automatically changing the fstab and I only noticed it now07:13
lotuspsychjepikapika: try to tail -f /var/log/syslog and plugin HD to see errors07:15
pikapikaTo clarify, before all these problems the lines were like: "UUID=xxxxx /media/long_name ntfs defaults 0 0", I manually changed it to "UUID=xxxxx /mnt/e ntfs defaults 0 0", rebooted thats when the issues started07:15
lotuspsychjetheorchid: sudo lshw -C sound shows driver installed?07:18
pikapikaEr I dont exactly understand, I wrote tail -n 500 syslog | grep "plugin" it showed 20-25 lines07:18
pikapikaHow do I look for messages related to the hard disk?07:18
theorchidlotuspsychje, yeah, and ALSA says it's working but there's no sound output07:19
theorchidpulseaudio config panel sees no issues07:19
theorchidI'm confuzzled07:19
pikapikaOh I see you asked to add the -f option, still same output07:19
lotuspsychjetheorchid: wich ubuntu are you on?07:21
lotuspsychjepikapika: hastebin the putput plz07:21
theorchidkubuntu 17.1007:21

theorchidI am gonna try 18.04 when it finishes downloading07:22
lotuspsychjepikapika: no, hastebin of the syslog tail07:22
lotuspsychjetheorchid: wich driver is loaded for your soundcard?07:22
theorchidI dunno, I'd have to boot back into linux07:23
theorchidGive me a few minutes I'll switch back to it07:23
lotuspsychjetheorchid: allright07:23
pikapikahttps://hastebin.com/piqugoweho.erl07:24
pikapikaLast 500 lines as I didnt find any mention of "plugin" before 300 lines07:24
pikapikaHm I am seeing some ntfs-3g messages that seem relevant now that I see07:25
lotuspsychjepikapika: yeah, seems like your drive is mounted on desktop?07:26
lotuspsychjepikapika: so for what reason did you change fstab exactly?07:27
theorchidlotuspsychje, snd_hda_intel07:28
lotuspsychjetheorchid: ok, so somewhere in your logs it must go wrong07:30
theorchidwhere do I look?07:30

lotuspsychjecheck syslog or dmesg for sound issues theorchid07:30
=== person_ is now known as pikapika
theorchid nope... no errors in either log. everything looks like it should be working but it's not07:33
lotuspsychjetheorchid: think i recall some kubuntu issue with volume icon, perhaps the #kubuntu guys might know more of it07:34
theorchidwell, I'll try regular ubuntu07:34
lotuspsychjetheorchid: good idea07:34

shivam887What is the difference between apt-get and apt ?08:05
SwedeMikeshivam887: https://itsfoss.com/apt-vs-apt-get-difference/08:06
shivam887i read it08:06
shivam887please explain me08:06
shivam887it says apt is for begginers08:06
shivam887but i dont think so , i think anyone can use apt-get and apt08:06
shivam887both are same08:07
shivam887apt shows  just loading line08:07
SwedeMikeshivam887: you can use both, just choose which one you like more and does what you need.08:08
shivam887but both are just same08:08
geirhaapt is easier for interactive use. apt-get is more useful for non-interactive use08:10
shivam887geirha : but both works same08:11
shivam887give me a example to distinguish b/w these two08:11
geirhaapt search08:11
shivam887geirha :okay08:12
theorchidapt-get has a source an build-dep arg... I could be wrong but I think apt doesn't08:12
ducasseshivam887: apt includes functionality from other tools than apt-get08:12
ducassetheorchid: it does08:13
theorchidoh... then I remembered incorrectly08:14
jusssssshow to reload module?08:14

rfvis there any way to revert to 16.04.3 LTS? 16.04.4 apparently messed with my wifi adapter and I've been struggling for the last 3 days to make it work and I'm sick of it09:35

TJ-gou: because it's not like that for most installs; you've obviously got particular hardware or system config that provokes the issue12:26
gou<TJ-> thank you tho guess il go with the xorg until 18.4 come out12:27
akikgou: ubuntu decided to make xorg the default in 18.0412:27

ioriawe really need an EOL notification daemon12:38

pagnolshould a msg appear in syslog upon plugging in/out the device?12:38
TJ-pagnol: and rememeber 16.10 is no longer supported; you really should upgrade12:38
pagnolthere's nothing12:38
pagnolI'm actually on Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS12:39
pagnolmy bad12:39
TJ-pagnol: Yes, when a USB device is connected the kernel will report it. The primary log-file to check is /var/log/kern.log but if you want to watch the kernel messages 'live' as you connect/disconnect the device use "dmesg -w"12:39
pagnolnothing stirs in the output of dmesg -w when I plug in or unplug12:41
sveinseTJ-: Thanks a lot!12:41
TJ-pagnol: have you tried connecting the device to different USB ports in case it's a port problem?12:41
pagnolonly the device itself seems to notice it's been plugged in because some LED is blinking12:41
pagnolyes, I tried them all... going to try it on a different computer12:41

foo357Hello, I want to get information about a directory structure and save that information in a textfile. The information I'm after is pretty much what you get by doing 'ls' (content, date, filesize, et.c.). It's a moderatly big/deep directory structure.12:45

JimBuntufoo357, `find ./ >myTextFile.txt` ?12:46
JimBuntunvm, that wouldn't include the metadata by default12:46
foo357JimBuntu: exactly, that's sort of what I'm after, plus being presented in some nice way (like how 'tree' does seems ideal)12:47
TJ-foo357: "find . -ls > capturefile.log"12:47
foo357TJ-: thanks, that seems like a pretty good solution12:49
TJ-foo357: how about "tree -pus" ?12:49
geirhajust be aware that find doesn't sort it12:49
TJ-foo357: 'tree' has several options that might give you the output you want, see "man tree"12:50
gou<TJ-> you seem educated in ubuntu matter where did you learn all of that   forms? or years and years of having errors and having to deal with them12:51
TJ-gou: by exploring,  experimenting, reading man-pages and source-code12:51
pagnolalright... it's not the headset's fault12:53
TJ-pagnol: right, so show us "pastebinit <( dmesg )" please12:53

engblomRegardless of my tries to edit files under both places, I can not get it to work.13:12

TJ-pagnol: have you tried this with AC adapter powering it, and on battery only?13:18
pagnolTJ-, both13:18
pagnoland it worked reliably for months and I can't remember having made any significant changes13:19
TJ-pagnol: it '/feels/ like a USB power saving issue since the device isn't even seen - my current hypothesis would be the hub/ports are auto-powered down and are not automatically re-activating when the device is connected13:19
TJ-pagnol: have you tested booting the oldest kernel still installed via the GRUB > Advanced sub-menu ?13:19
=== Menzie is now known as Menzador
TJ-pagnol: originally I wondered if it was just the snd-usb-audio and associated modules not being loaded, but if that were the case the kernel would still see the device connect, which it isn't doing13:21
pagnolTJ-, even after a reboot and with the ac adapter plugged in there is no change13:22
TJ-pagnol: originally I wondered if it was just the snd-usb-audio and associated modules not being loaded, but if that were the case the kernel would still see the device connect, which it isn't doing13:23

ikoniabionic disccusion in the #ubuntu+1 channel please13:27
TJ-pagnol: right... is it possible the port cannot deliver the power the H/S wants? do you have an external powered USB hub you could connect the H/S via?13:27
Onigiriikonia: ok, thanks!13:27
pagnolTJ-, I've been using it for months though13:27
TJ-pagnol: I realise that, but something has changed so we need to use a process of elimination to narrow down where the cause is.13:28
ioriapagnol, is it detected by   lsusb ?13:28
pagnolno13:28
TJ-pagnol: it could be a kernel change has affected the port power settings, for example13:28
pagnolhmm13:28
pagnolthe headphone actually has a fully charged battery and keeps working with blutooth devices even if I remove the usb cable13:29
TJ-pagnol: that system has Intel rate-matching hubs; they're supposed to automatically adjust to the type of device connected to a port - it's possible a driver change has broken that... or it's possible there's some config item being set differently13:29
TJ-pagnol: what's the make/model of the headset?13:30
pagnolTJ-, I'll try a USB hub...13:30
vltvlt: lzop seems to be what you were looking for.13:30
pagnolit's a Sennheiser PXC 55013:30
TJ-pagnol: now you've told me it's dual interface USB Bluetooth I'm wondering if it somehow operates in BT-only mode for some reason  - although I note you tested it in another PC13:31
pagnolit has a blutooth and a no-blutooth mode and both stopped working13:31
pagnolit used to not matter which mode it was in13:31

vltHi! I'm trying to run `watch "kill -SIGUSR1 <pid>"` but get "sh: 1: kill: Illegal option -S". Any idea what I have to do to mak eit work with "watch"?13:33

TJ-pagnol: the *KEY* thing here is the kernel doesn't detect this particular device connected to a port. Is the device USB3? Is the port USB3 or USB2 or both?13:38
pagnolthe laptop does not support USB3 afaik13:39
TJ-pagnol: and one other silly test you can do (which might point to an ACPI issue) suspend the laptop then resume it and connect the H/S13:39

TJ-pagnol: OK, that's good, so it didn't improve. Are you testing the H/S by plugging in after power on, or is it connected when the PC powers on ?13:56
pagnolI tried both and it didn't make a difference13:56
TJ-pagnol: also, if the PC has a detachable battery,  have you tried removing it for a minute or so and pressing the power button to clear weird artifacts in the circuitry?13:56
pagnolI tried all kinds of combinations of rebooting, suspending, doing so with the headset plugged in or out...13:57
TJ-pagnol: earlier I asked for a log but I think you missed it. Can you grab the oldest kernel log in case it shows the device being connected, so we know what it should look like:   "pastebinit <( zcat $(ls -1t /var/log/kern.log* ) )"13:57
pagnolah I may have missed that, sorry..13:57

rfvI have an unclaimed ethernet (this time ethernet, not wireless) controller, not being managed by network-manager in ubuntu 16.04 - chipset Atheros AR8151 v2.0 Gigabit Ethernet. Reloading the atl1c module result in the following issue: MAC state machine can't be idle since disabled for 10 ms second. Any ideas?14:15
nehemiahI made an preseeded Ubuntu installation that fails. But the failure is not very descriptive. It happens during the package installation. Anyway, is it possible to drop to a command line and get some logs during installation?14:15
nehemiahIt's Ubuntu Server btw.14:15
rfvpci=noacpi for the above to work (at least I got one of my network controllers working today)14:21
NoCodeAlright, so when I went to restart because of an update, the low-latency kernel stopped working. Suggesting some kernel modules were not loaded, and it also complained about nvidia too. Should I get some dmesg logs?14:22
NoCodeAlso the lowlatency kernels are old as hell.14:23
TJ-pagnol: this may seem like another daft question, but this is after I've been reading up on the PXC 550 model, and everything I find only talks of the Bluetooth conectivity. Only mention of USB is in the context of the micro-USB /charging/ port. So, firstly, are you /sure/ the audio was over USB when they worked? And if so, are you /sure/ the current cable connecting them isn't a charging-only cable (e.g.14:24
TJ-data pins not connected) - try another known working data cable?  - if they do work as a USB audio device can you capture how they show up on the other PC where they work (possibly using an Ubuntu LiveISO boot if it's a Windows/Apple PC)14:25
pagnolTJ-, yes, perfectly sure14:32
TJ-pagnol: is this the model? https://en-us.sennheiser.com/wireless-headphone-headset-bluetooth-noise-cancelling-pxc-550-travel14:32
pagnolTJ-, I deactivated the blutooth adapter of my laptop in the bios settings14:32
pagnolthat's the one14:33
TJ-pagnol: arghhh.. why did you deactive it? did that coincide with the headphones not appearing?14:33
pagnolTJ-, misunderstanding, it's always been deactivated14:34
pagnolright when I got the laptop I deactivated to save power14:34
pagnoland since I have no use for it14:34
pagnolsince my headset works with usb ;-)14:34
pagnolseriously, it works, maybe the manufacturer doesn't advertise it... it used to nicely show up in the unity-control-center sound settings as a separate device14:35
TJ-pagnol: read page 39 of the user manual... is it possible the audio connector socket in the headset has partially broken - because on that page it says "...transmissionvia USB is disabled and the headphones go to flight mode when the audio cable is plugged in." ... that would instantly make me suspect the 3.5mm socket in the H/S has it's plug-detect leg stuck so it thinks a plug is in the socket even when14:37
TJ-it's empty14:37
TJ-pagnol: link  https://en-us.sennheiser.com/global-downloads/file/6983/PXC550_IM_A02_EN.pdf#PXC550_IM_A02_EN.indd%3A.34948%3A288814:37
pagnolTJ-, my colleague has the same model and it equally didn't work when I plugged it in14:38
TJ-pagnol: does the audio cable input work? maybe using that then trying USB again might kick it into life?14:39
pagnolpagnol, I'll give that a try14:39
TJ-pagnol: as the kernel doesn't even see the device I'd bet money the issue is in the HeadSet14:40
TJ-pagnol: also, did you try the Headset reset procedure? Switch off, press the Effect Mode Control for 4 seconds14:44
pagnolTJ-, I had no idea it has that... thank you14:44

=== rgrundstrom is now known as Guest98957
TJ-pagnol: If the problem is with the PC, from what I've reading, the X220 is supposed to have USB3 ports and controller. Also, your dmesg shows it is on BIOS v1.24 18th Oct 2011, but there's a v1.43 26th Oct 2016 available. I'd highly recommend updating that.

TJ-mouseover: also, I hope you're aware that 16.10 is End Of Life and is no longer supported15:08

Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades15:10
=== Guest1406 is now known as dorami-doraemon
mouseoverTJ-: So essentially, I need to update my sources.list file? If so, how can I point to the "old releases" repo? Furthermore, even if I do this, how can I be certain that libavcodec will be there? Could I add an older (and supported) Ubuntu PPA instead?15:12
TJ-mouseover: like I said, libavcodec packages are provided by ffmpeg. Many years ago (2011) the ffmpeg project forked and gave birth to libav. Debian and Ubuntu switched to libav libraries and then later switched back to ffmpeg in 201515:17
mouseoverYes, I have been vaguely made aware of the story15:19
mouseoverNonetheless, I updated the 16.10 repo URLs to point to the "old reposotires" PPA. However, when I run "apt-get update && apt-get install libavcodec-dev "... it says "http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/f/ffmpeg/libavcodec57_3.0.7-0ubuntu0.16.10.1_amd64.deb  404  Not Found".15:20
TJ-pagnol: I've figured out the USB3 confusion. It was only on the i7 models, as the rear-left (coloured blue). On i3/i5 it seems they're all USB2, black on left-side, yellow always-on power o right15:20
mouseoverNow, when I navigate to that URL, there is indeed no such file as "libavcodec57_3.0.7-0ubuntu0.16.10.1_amd64.deb", but there is a "libavcodec57_3.2.4-1build2_amd64.deb". So, how can I make "apt-get" get the right files?15:21
TJ-mouseover: as I said, 16.10 isn't supported. There may be some package versions missing from old-releases.ubuntu.com15:21
isaiahnixonHello, if I run Ubuntu and have some bash scripting questions, is this the right place to ask them?15:27

ash_workTJ-: alpine15:45
TJ-ash_work: that's not a container technology is it? that's the userspace inside.15:46
ash_workTJ-: I mean the container is running alpine, the container technology is docker15:47
ash_workTJ-: (sorry, I didn't get what you meant before)15:47
TJ-ash_work: generally 'stty' is used to set/change the terminal settings, but you'd have to check the alpine/container config to figure out why it's using 80 columns15:50
TJ-ash_work: that, or possibly docker. I presume the host OS is using much wider terminal?15:50
ash_workTJ-: yes, it is15:51
TJ-see if "stty cols 132" makes it change (inside the container)15:51
ash_workTJ-: I don't know where that setting would be :\15:51
hfpHi all, I don't miss OSX at all but one thing I do miss sorely is the preview app to draw, write, and sign PDF forms. I tried LibreOffice Draw and it's a hit or miss, some documents are messed up because it seems Draw tries to convert them to a text document. Is there a Linux application that would let me draw or write over a PDF the same way Preview does? i.e. not touch the original document, just add15:56

alexia8949847393hi. any advice on how to diagnose why my vpn connection dies? I have ufw set up really strictly and it connects fine on boot but can't seem to reconnect later? Where would I find a log file to help me figure it out16:20
pragmaticenigmamost log files are kept in /var/log and often in a folder or file of the same name as the application16:20
alexia8949847393so would that be the vpn log file?16:21
alexia8949847393or ufw?16:21
pragmaticenigmaI would start with /var/log/syslog ... connect and disconnect from the VPN to see what is appended to the log file. If nothing regarding your VPN connection is seen, it will be in one of the other files. "ufw" if enabled logs to syslog16:22
pragmaticenigmaYou can change the log level of ufw in /etc/ufw/ufw.conf... I'm not familiar with ufw to know what options are available, I would recommend reading the documentation on ufw first16:23
TJ-alexia8949847393: could it be the VPN starts and connects before UFW engages? (presumably the firewall is allowing state ESTABLISHED,RELATED but possibly not the outgoing initial connection16:24
hfpthanks TJ-, looks like what I was after.16:27
alexia8949847393@TJ- interesting, thanks for the idea. I'm hoping it isn't that. I've been able to reboot vpn and maybe will set up a script to reboot it instead of rebooting the whole machine. I'm really tired of messing with ufw -- has been frustrating to set up a secure torrent box with the right permissions. Thanks for the idea.16:28
alexia8949847393@pragmaticenigma thanks have been wanting to check the log but i feel like its happening hours between when i notice. ill try rebooting the service and check it immedaitely then. thanks for telling me location. cheers!16:30

TJ-sd_: if you mean you have, say, eth0 with "ip addr add 192.168.1.1/24 dev eth0; ip addr add 192.168.1.2/24 dev eth0; then they're the same device so the concept of a loopback doesn't really hold in the sense you mean it17:01
TJ-Vamp898: Yes17:01
Vamp898Telekom in Germany provides something called "Hybrid" where you have a slow Land-Line and can boost the speed with an LTE connection. I am wondering how this works. I am sure it is more than bonding but that brought me to the thinking if just bonding would work at all17:03

pragmaticenigmaVamp898, often they use the slow land line as an upload connection sending requests to a server. the server then sends the requested data over the higherspeed link17:03
sd_@TJ- ^17:03
TJ-sd_: ouch! so you're trying to host and route multiple sub-nets on a single interface?17:04
pragmaticenigmaVamp898, it usually requires special hardware on both ends provided by the service provider17:04
sd_Yeah @TJ-17:04
TJ-so what is connected to the other end of eth0's cable?17:05
TJ-sd_: ^^^17:05
sd_I have a hypervisor running @TJ-17:06
Vamp898pragmaticenigma: so this is a hardware thing?17:06
sd_host<->eth0<->10.0.0.10<->10.0.0.1<->hypervisor<->10.0.0.10017:06
sd_@TJ- ^^17:07
TJ-Vamp898: Linux bonding does work in that scenario17:07
TJ-sd_: but host->eth0 also has the public IP address?17:07
pragmaticenigmaVamp898, not entirely... you can accomplish it with software, but many providers offer proprietary equipment for stability17:08
sd_yes host->eth0 has public ip17:08
TJ-sd_: I'd think it'd be much easier to create a virtual 'dummy' interface for the 10.x nextwork then you can use regular routing17:09
sd_ohk..17:10
TJ-sd_: you'd load the kernel module ("sudo modprobe dummy") then you'll have a new interface(s) called dummyX ("ip link show") which you could then add your 10/8 sub-net to17:13
sd_Yeah I get it. but is it possible to add connectivity between host (public ip) and the dummy ?17:14
TJ-sd_: you would get that naturally as a byproduct of the routing tables17:15
=== SimonNL_Afk is now known as SimonNL
sd_@TJ- thanks, I will check that17:16
TJ-sd_: if you have any other physical hosts needing to talk to the hypervisor sub-net 10/8 you'd have to use a VLAN though17:16
sd_ohk17:16
TJ-sd_: or set specific routes on those other hosts telling them the gateway for the 10/8 sub-net is your 203.x.y.z. on eth017:17
sd_Yeah ok17:18

fubHi. Im running ubuntu 16.04 with an nvidia card and a 4k screen over hdmi. When looking at some pictures, there is no "fading". I see hard "edges" in the pictures. I made a photo with my mobile phone: https://imgur.com/a/pszU517:25
fubThis is when looking at this picture: http://i.imgur.com/4pTWZbp.png17:26
fubWhen I look at the picture from a different computer, the picture looks fine to me (without edges)17:26
Kon-fub, are you using the exact same monitor when you're viewing it on the other PC?17:27
fubKon-: no17:28
Kon-This is color banding. It's more noticeable when you're using a high quality monitor. It results from low color depth in the image. What you are looking at is probably an 8-bit image, and I'm guessing it is not native 4K resolution either.17:28
fubso its a problem of the image and not a problem of my ubuntu?17:29
fubis there any way to verify that all my colors are fine?17:29
Kon-It's the most likely explanation. Low bitrate in a video also compounds color banding issues17:30
fubKon-: no, there has to be a problem. I just downloaded this image: https://www.setaswall.com/4k-wallpapers/city-night-raod-4k-wallpaper-3840x2160/17:31
fublooks awful here, let me take a picture17:31

meandrainhi, any idea if it is possible to instal gcc-5.3 on ubuntu 16.04 using apt ?19:05
gehnmeandrain, 16.04 should already use 5.4 by default19:05
pragmaticenigmameandrain, is there a particular reason behind needing a different version?19:06
gehnmeandrain, is there some reason you can't use 5.4?19:06
gehnmeandrain, there's https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-toolchain-r/+archive/ubuntu/test19:06
meandrainI need to install older nvidia drivers (340), that video card does not work with newer drivers, and when building nvidia module it says I need gcc 5.319:06
gehnmeandrain, 5.4 should be able to compile anything you can compile with 5.319:07
pragmaticenigmagehn, it might be better for us to help you figure out what isn't working with your Nvidia drivers19:07
pragmaticenigmagehn, it is also possible to downgrade without compiling your own19:07
meandrainI'll reinstall gcc 5.4 and tell you then what is the error message19:07

=== BugzBunny is now known as BugzBunnyMF
meandrainyou are right, I kindof waste time19:25
streakydevil's advocate: you can still dev for cuda with slower cards19:25
meandrain(learning) but probably I should buy a new card19:25
ikonia"dev for cuda" ?19:25
streakywrite code..19:26
ikoniaahh you mean write your own stuff that still uses it on the older card19:26
streakysure19:26
streakyyou'll probably need an older api with less features and it'll be relatively slow but..19:26
ikoniawaste of time19:27
streakymeh19:27
pragmaticenigmaCUDA detection is not required for use of all the features of the graphics card. CUDA detection is for application that want to make use of the GPU's cores for purposes other than graphics display. The graphics drivers always have access to the resources available on the card19:27
streakyi wouldn't buy a 1080ti to put in my dev box for autobuilds19:28
streakya 10 year old card from ebay for tuppence though..19:28

streakyphysics calculations19:30
streakyi've theorised database optimisations too but people think i'm mad and i don't have time to prove them19:30
pragmaticenigmaThe reason they think your made is because CUDA doesn't have checks and balances like a traditional CPU. You'd have to verify all the results to ensure data accuracy and not have another operation influence the result set19:31
pragmaticenigmaGPUs work best where fuzzy results are acceptable... meaning the results can be a little off and no-one will mind19:32
streakywe live in a world where people don't care what their db says just that it's fast19:32
streakyelse eventual consistency wouldn't be a thing19:32

pavlosAnthaas: you might grep for http which is the protocol20:52

pragmaticenigmatgm4883, I know... I thought it would return a response for all packages, I guess it only does those that are actually installed21:24
guest-ou812What, do they have a 12 yr old working on that thing down there?21:24
guest-ou812pragmaticenigma:  I thought it was the nsa21:25
guest-ou812or some such thing21:25
pragmaticenigmatruthfully it would have been wise if they had called it vscode or something to that effect... they just didn't do that... I guess one other option would have been to execute it from the command line with the "--help" argument to see what came up21:25
blihave a delicate prroblem21:26
tgm4883guest-ou812: from the same company who created a program for Structured Query Language and named their program "SQL" and created a office suite and called it "Office"21:26
tgm4883pragmaticenigma: running unknown commands should never be an option21:26
bliIm loading a kernel module, but when it loads the network and mounts are not up and running yet, so it fails. How to make it load after mounts are done ?21:26
guest-ou812tgm4883:  right?21:26
pragmaticenigmatgm4883, I like to believe that things provided to me through the package repositories are safe... though I don't recale if VS-Code comes out of the Ubuntu Universe or through a 3rd party PPA21:29
pragmaticenigmasaying that, I don't add PPAs21:29
pavlosbli: so you insert a module but want it conditional to network/mount?21:29
tgm4883pragmaticenigma: The problem was he didn't know if it came from the ubuntu repositories or not. VS-Code comes from Microsoft repositories21:30
tgm4883pragmaticenigma: just because it was being updated via apt doesn't mean it was Ubuntu sanctioned in any way21:30
pragmaticenigmaThis offtopic and should take place elsewhere21:32
blipavlos: want the kernel module to be insterted/loaded after all mounts are done21:32
tgm4883pragmaticenigma: we could go to #ubuntu-discuss if you want21:36
pragmaticenigmano thank you21:36
tgm4883Well ok, glad we agree then21:37
pavlosbli: I dont follow why but ... you can throw the insmod into /etc/rc.local ... just a thought21:38

blipavlos: doing that, i assume the modprob.d/module.conf file is still used?21:41

DbuggerDoes anyone know if it is possible to import a big batch of .ovpn files into the network managers?21:47
kenrinSure21:48
kenrinIt isn't going to be any easier though since it uses their own config files you'll have to create21:49
=== hawk1 is now known as abhiigatty
Dbuggeri have the files. I have about 1000 .ovpn files21:50
kenrinActually the new version maybe can do it.   nmcli connection import type openvpn file filenamehere.ovpn21:50
Dbuggerlets see21:50
kenrinTry it on one manually,  if it works write a quick script to import them all21:50
abhiigattyhello world21:51
Dbuggeroh, it worked21:52
kenrinNice,  now just do a for loop script.  It should be easy21:52
Dbuggerbut wait21:52
Dbuggeris there a way to set the password and user also?21:53
youtahlol, dang21:53
kenrinnmcil connection modify vpnnamehere +vpn.data username=username password=password ? ..21:53
youtahI tried installing SCII on Ubuntu 17.04 with Wine21:53
kenrinNot sure on correct syntax but something like that21:53
youtahI got stuck in an infinite loop21:53
kenrin*nmcli rather21:54
abhiigattyyou guys building a openvpn bot?21:54
youtahforget openvpn bots... we need better Miracast support21:54
kenrinWhen it imports it puts them in the configs located at /etc/NetworkManager so it isn't cut and dry =o21:54
DbuggerI got this error: "Error: invalid or not allowed setting 'username=dbugger': 'username=dbugger' not among [connection, vpn, ipv4, ipv6, proxy]."21:55
kenrinThe password i think is vpn.secrets "password=password"21:56
kenrinThe username might just be under [vpn] in the config.  So if vpn.data doesn't work try just vpn21:58
DbuggerI forgot to put the +vpn.data =P21:58
kenrinAh ok21:58
DbuggerBut now it tells me: "Error: invalid <setting>.<property> 'password=test'."21:58
Dbuggerand only with "+vpn" without the .data, it tells me: "Error: invalid <setting>.<property> 'vpn'"21:59
kenrinThis might help: http://blog.deadlypenguin.com/blog/2017/04/24/vpn-auto-connect-command-line/22:00
kenrinMight be easier to just edit the config directly with sed or something after the import22:00
kenrinLooks like you need the password-flags=0 so it doesn't try to load from keyring too22:00
kenrinGoing to be a pain to do that for 1000+ files though,  goodluck =/22:01
Dbuggerwell,at least with 40 would be good22:02
Dbuggerbut if its that hard, ill let it go22:03
kenrinOnce you figure out the process you could script it all though,  and put it on github =o22:04
dave0x6dHow can I force downgrade from 16.04.4 to 16.04.3? I am fine if my system breaks, it’s already broken.22:04
Ben64dave0x6d: what's broken22:04
dave0x6dBen64: locally installed packages are newer than the mirror.22:05
dave0x6dIt’s an enterprise network, external mirrors are blocked.22:06
Ben64sounds more like an issue with your network22:07
dave0x6dBen64: I know. But my options are limited here. Reinstalling the entire OS is a pain :/22:09
tgm4883dave0x6d: you'd need to manually specify package versions for everything that was installed22:11
OerHeks"locally installed packages" sounds like non-ubuntu sources, or private ppa?22:12
tgm4883dave0x6d: you can check your apt history log22:12
tgm4883OerHeks: I think he means his installed packages are newer than his company mirror22:12
dave0x6dtgm4883: Yeah, the latest 16.04.4 iso. I only mirror 16.04.3 at the moment.22:14
tgm4883dave0x6d: I'm headed out, but you shouldn't need a reinstall. Specifying the package versions should be fine since that is all that point releases are anyway22:14
luxioDoes this mean Firefox is using 3.1GB of memory? https://i.imgur.com/ZmZ6cUw.png22:17
luxiobecause that doesn't sound right22:17
BillyColeIm having trouble figuring out where my resolv.conf file is getting updated from.  The file itself points to /run/NetworkManager/resolv.conf.22:20
BillyColeThe file says its generated by NetworkManager, and has 3 nameservers listed, but I can't figure out where they're being pulled from22:20
arvutluxio: you need to understand how the kernel maps ram ;)22:22
BillyColeTrying to figure out where to go to update those?22:22
adalbertBillyCole: aren't those nameservers coming from your dhcp server?22:22
arvutluxio: maybe this will help https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_memory22:22
BillyColeOh possibly?22:22
BillyColeYeah that makes sense22:24
torben-hello?22:25
immortal007Hiya...22:25
torben-is this a chat channel?22:25
OerHeksread the topic, torben- , ubuntu support22:25
immortal007Nah.. Its the ofiicial tech Support Channel22:26
linux__i am thinking of upgrading to 16.4 or just go with 17.10 what do you guys advice me22:26
torben-is there a chat channel22:26
immortal007I prefer 16.0422:26
arvuttorben-: yes22:26
torben-I hate 17.0422:26
OerHeksstay on 16.04 LTS, and upgrade in april22:29
torben-where is the channel22:29
adalbertlinux__: v18 will come out in april22:29
linux__so i go with 16.4 guys iam a noob22:29
torben-'I switched to mint on one of two computers22:29
UserUSlinux__: I'd stay on LTS because long term support is nice plus I've heard mnay upgrades from 16 to 17 going sour22:29
immortal007Most of the things work fine in 17.04 but some times it gets hard to deal with...22:29
BillyColeadalbert: One other question then. I have another box that seems to have the nameserver set to localhost, rather than pulling the DNS servers from elsewhere.22:29
linux__<UserUS> thx i think il stay on 16.4 and upgrade later to 18.422:29
BillyColeThough on this box, it says that the file is generated by resolvconf rather than NetworkManager22:29
UserUSlinux__: same22:29
linux__<adalbert> i am not a patient person22:29
immortal007it must be due to the network manager22:29
adalbertBillyCole: that might be an older version not using NetworkManager yet ?22:29
immortal007I tried installing UBUNTU 16.04 alongside Windows 10 in UEFI mode but the Grub is not installing perfectly.22:30
BillyColeIts actually 17.10, but I admittedly have been messing with stuff, and I might have installed resolvconf :)22:30
BillyColeLet me try and remove that and see where it goes :)22:30
immortal007It leaves me at the Minimal GRUB at the startup..22:30
dave0x6dtgm4883: I get a lot of errors saying the package cannot be downgraded.22:31
grymhi all; i'm looking for a GUI application for key remappingg for 16.04.  What's the current go-to tool for this?22:31
OerHeksBillyCole, i think you want  /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base for custom dns22:31
OerHekssee https://itsfoss.com/resolvconf-permanent-ubuntu/22:31
linux__i heard that ubuntu 18.4 will use Xorg is that true22:32
OerHeksxorg as default, yes, but wayland s still available22:32
linux__y tho do you know y22:33
linux__i know Xorg is faster but ... idk22:33
OerHekshttps://insights.ubuntu.com/2018/01/26/bionic-beaver-18-04-lts-to-use-xorg-by-default22:34
linux__ty22:34
OerHeksif you have more questions about 18.04, join #ubuntu+122:34
immortal007https://screenshots.debian.net/package/xkeycaps22:35
dave0x6dtgm4883: heh, looks like a full reinstall might be the only option...22:35
linux__Recoverability from Shell crashes is less dramatic under Xorg i guess that is the most important22:35
immortal007XkeyCaps is a nice GUI to map keys...22:36
linux__there hasn't been a new release of xkeycaps22:38
linux__tho right ?22:38
immortal007But its working with 16.0422:38
immortal007it is included in the repositories22:39
linux__cool i think XKeyCaps is good but i dont use it22:39
immortal007The best option is to learn using xmodmap22:40
immortal007It's pretty messy at the beginning but, once you learn it, you will never need another option22:41
linux__yes and it works on Xorg so you will be fine with 18.422:41
immortal007quit22:44
grymthanks!22:50
grymnow my emacs is even more annoying22:50
arooniis control c the only way to stop a long running command i dont want to finish?  sometimes it doesnt seem too responsive over tmux22:52
amitprakashHow do I find out what driver is being used for bluetooth?22:52
grymarooni: mosh is nice to reduce latency22:52
grymarooni: if that's your problem22:53
grymarooni: otherwise, there's always kill -9 <pid>22:53
