| bcpoi | hello | 02:04 |
| bcpoi | everytime I search on firefox there is something on the end on the address bar which is the '&t=canonical&ia=web' | 02:05 |
| bcpoi | what does it mean? | 02:05 |
| operator-error | bcpoi: probably means canonical is spying on you :) | 02:07 |
| cfhowlett | !fud | operator-error | 02:08 |
| ubottu | operator-error: Please do not fall prey to, or spread FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) - it is not welcome here! Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear,_uncertainty_and_doubt | 02:08 |
| cfhowlett | t=canonical is a partner tag that allows Ubuntu to generate revenue from searches on DuckDuckGo that use Ubuntu (anonymously) | 02:08 |
| cfhowlett | &ia=web - the ia is short for "instant access" | 02:09 |
| bcpoi | what does it mean? that i'm not secured? | 02:09 |
| cfhowlett | nothing to do with security. it's an anonymous tag | 02:10 |
| operator-error | cfhowlett: has that something to do with running the Unity desktop? Because I'm using Kubuntu, and I get no such "canonical" tag in my search results in DuckDuckGo. | 02:11 |
| cfhowlett | nothing to do with unity at all. it's browswer generated and is generated by ALL browsers | 02:12 |
| === calvin is now known as Guest85483 | ||
| cfhowlett | but I'll verify DDG | 02:12 |
| operator-error | yeah, because I'm using stock firefox from the repository (in KDE) and I'm not getting that tag | 02:13 |
| cfhowlett | huh. Ubuntustudio 16.04 + DDG = https://duckduckgo.com/?q=peace+love+harmony&t=canonical&ia=web | 02:15 |
| cfhowlett | FFox + DDG search engine | 02:15 |
| bcpoi | cfhowlett how can I disable that? | 02:16 |
| operator-error | hmm... I'm using 16.04 Kubuntu and here's the result I get searching mittens: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=mittens&t=hg&ia=web | 02:16 |
| Ben64 | operator-error: are you typing 'mittens' directly into the address bar | 02:17 |
| operator-error | Ben64: no, I'm typing it in the search bar on the page | 02:17 |
| Ben64 | well that's not what was being discussed | 02:17 |
| cfhowlett | not sure you can disable according to this. https://qph.ec.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-764c461fa18fbd81ce6413de57d7b423 | 02:18 |

| zzo38 | How to get bold Japanese text to display correctly on Firefox? It displays correctly if it isn't bold. | 04:09 |
| Butterfly_ | zzo38 : are you running the latest firefox ? | 04:10 |
| zzo38 | Butterfly_: No, the extensions I want to use will not work in the latest Firefox | 04:13 |
| Butterfly_ | which extension is that ? | 04:13 |
| Butterfly_ | maybe there's an alternative that does work with the latest firefox | 04:13 |
| zzo38 | All of them; userChrome.js is one | 04:13 |
| Butterfly_ | i had to change some extensions myself in the last few months, but some extensions were even better than the original i was using | 04:13 |
| Butterfly_ | zzo38 : doesn't User-Agent Switcher do the same ? | 04:14 |
| zzo38 | There is also Classic Theme Restorer, OverbiteFF (although it has some problems and I should write my own), Status-4-Evar, etc | 04:15 |
| Butterfly_ | there is OverbiteWX ? maybe something similar ? | 04:15 |
| zzo38 | And, no, User-Agent Switcher is not the same as userChrome.js. However, the Rewrite HTTP Headers extension (which I also have) does the same as User-Agent Switcher (and more). | 04:15 |
| Butterfly_ | right | 04:16 |
| Butterfly_ | i guess you have too many extensions to actually make the switch to latest firefox :) | 04:16 |
| Butterfly_ | not sure if your firefox issue is a bug that has been resolved in newer versions ? | 04:16 |
| Butterfly_ | which site did you have this problem on? maybe i can have a look | 04:16 |
| zzo38 | Butterfly_: Wikipedia, although it applies to any bold Japanese text displayed by Firefox as far as I can tell. If the text is copied and pasted into the location bar or something else that isn't bold, it displays correctly. | 04:18 |
| Butterfly_ | let me find a page | 04:18 |
| zzo38 | The problem is only with bold Japanese text; non-bold Japanese text and bold non-Japanese text both work correctly. | 04:18 |
| Butterfly_ | i don't really see much strange in wikipedia in japanese, although i don't know japanese, so i might not spot what you're spotting | 04:21 |
| jas_ | hey | 04:24 |
| zzo38 | Do you have any Japanese fonts installed? I think the problem might be with the fonts. | 04:24 |
| Butterfly_ | zzo38 : it seems to display correctly, i didn't install additional fonts, but it seems perfectly japanese to me | 04:25 |
| jas_ | So the unity dm doesn't seem to start upon system boot. I don't know what's causing it. For now, i'm launching folders and the browser using the terminal. I'm not able to move the windows using the cursor too. Do I have to restart any service or are there any other options? | 04:26 |
| Butterfly_ | i'm using Linux Mint though, not Ubuntu | 04:26 |
| jas_ | hello? | 04:28 |
| zzo38 | Butterfly_: Do you know anything about how it decides what fonts to use? | 04:29 |
| Butterfly_ | zzo38 : not entirely to be honest | 04:29 |
| zzo38 | jas_: I don't know; I don't use Unity. But if you can't move windows, that suggest perhaps the window manager is not installed or is not configured. | 04:30 |
| EriC^ | jas_: does the guest account work? | 04:30 |
| zzo38 | (Although the window manager ought to be installed by default) | 04:30 |
| jas_ | EriC^: Yes, it does. | 04:30 |
| === EriC^ is now known as EriC^^ | ||
| EriC^^ | jas_: try "dconf reset -f /org/compiz" | 04:31 |
| EriC^^ | jas_: and "rm ~/.compiz ~/.config/compiz-1" | 04:31 |
| jas_ | EriC^^: crap! i'm not able to move to the terminal. lemme log back in. | 04:32 |
| zzo38 | You can also push CTRL+ALT+F2 or another function key to login to the text screen (and then CTRL+ALT+F8, or possibly a different function key on your computer, switches back to the X windows) | 04:34 |
| jas_ | Hey EriC^^ | 04:36 |
| jas_ | It seems it is a directory | 04:37 |
| EriC^^ | jas_: oh, yeah, type "rm -r ~/.compiz ~/.config/compiz-1" | 04:38 |
| zzo38 | You can also push CTRL+ALT+F2 or another function key to login to the text screen (and then CTRL+ALT+F8, or possibly a different function key on your computer, switches back to X Windows). You can see if that works | 04:38 |
| zzo38 | (Although you would still have to restart it probably in order for the changes to take effect) | 04:38 |
| jas_ | EriC^^: you want me to delete the compiz dir and config/compiz-1 dir? | 04:39 |
| EriC^^ | jas_: yeah | 04:39 |
| jas_ | Fine | 04:40 |
| EriC^^ | jas_: did you tr dconf reset -f /org/compiz / | 04:40 |
| EriC^^ | jas_: did you tr dconf reset -f /org/compiz ? | 04:40 |
| jas_ | Done | 04:40 |
| jas_ | EriC^^: yes I've done the dconf step first and then I deleted the two files | 04:41 |
| EriC^^ | jas_: ok try logging back in | 04:41 |
| jas_ | Ok | 04:42 |
| jas_ | EriC^^: nope it doesn't seem to work. | 04:43 |
| donofrio | anyone got an idea of how I can fix this ssh issue? https://apaste.info/yjmF | 04:44 |
| EriC^^ | jas_: try "mv ~/.cache ~/.cache.old" | 04:44 |
| EriC^^ | jas_: also "mv ~/.gconf ~/.gconf.old" | 04:45 |
| jas_ | .cache is a folder | 04:45 |
| jas_ | EriC^^: it's a folder you want me to move the folder | 04:47 |
| EriC^^ | jas_: yes | 04:48 |
| EriC^^ | essentially renaming it | 04:48 |
| jas_ | So rename the .cache folder to .cache folder to cache.old? | 04:48 |
| mau | hello. | 04:49 |
| mau | I have an partition that is mounted at ~/development but I have to chown each time I boot. Is there any work-around? | 04:50 |
| jas_ | EriC^^: Done both the cache and the gconf | 04:50 |
| EriC^^ | donofrio: seems like the private key is invalid cause it's attempting to offer it as public key | 04:51 |
| donofrio | EriC^^, howto fix? | 04:52 |
| EriC^^ | mau: what filesystem is it? | 04:52 |
| EriC^^ | jas_: try to login again | 04:52 |
| donofrio | hu? | 04:52 |
| donofrio | EriC^^, hu? | 04:54 |
| EriC^^ | donofrio: did you add the public key to the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file? | 04:55 |
| donofrio | Not done anything yet | 04:56 |
| EriC^^ | donofrio: ok, type "ssh-copy-id localhost" | 04:56 |
| mau | EriC^^, ext4. Apparently that seem to be the problem | 04:58 |
| jas_ | EriC^^: Thanks a lot mate! It worked. Is there anything else I should do after this? And what might have caused the problem.? | 04:58 |
| EriC^^ | mau: no, that shouldn't be a problem ext4 uses permissions | 04:58 |
| EriC^^ | mau: are you certain it's ext4? | 04:58 |
| === calvin is now known as Guest66441 | ||

| EriC^^ | donofrio: try "cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa > ~/.ssh/authorized_keys" | 05:01 |
| mau | EriC^^: I formatted it as ext4 and Disks confirms that it's ext4. When I try to use uid=1000,gid=1000I get "bad options" | 05:01 |
| EriC^^ | mau: yeah, ext4 saves the permissions | 05:02 |
| mau | EriC^^: then I don't understand what I'm supposed to do | 05:02 |
| EriC^^ | mau: what exactly are you trying to do? | 05:03 |
| EriC^^ | mau: with the filesystem mounted, sudo chown -R <user>: /mountpoint should change the permissions, and upon unmounting and remounting they'll stick | 05:03 |
| mau | EriC^^: oh, I didn't know that | 05:04 |
| mau | EriC^^: then I'll be fine | 05:04 |
| mau | EriC^^: I misunderstood what I read on the web and what you told me | 05:04 |

| EriC^^ | donofrio: my bad, type "rm ~/.ssh/authorized_keys" | 05:13 |

| segersjerry | ghostnik11, not 100% sure, but I think you would have to use it to compile a new kernel for the changes to do anything. You probably want to change something in /proc to make it work the way you're talking | 06:57 |
| ghostnik11 | segersjerry, these are the steps i am following: https://github.com/Asus-T100/kernel/wiki/Compiling-the-kernel-for-T100TAF | 06:59 |
| ghostnik11 | i segersjerry the section for screen brightness and power savings, i made my hex and also made the changes to the kernel configuartion file and just installed iio-sensor-proxy via synaptic | 07:00 |
| lotuspsychje | we dont reccomend compiling, use !mainline instead | 07:00 |
| segersjerry | !mainline | 07:01 |
| ubottu | The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds | 07:01 |
| ghostnik11 | lotuspsychje, yeah but this is for a specific 2 in 1 tablet = asus t100taf would kernel mainline builds have the changes i am trying to do already in kernels for this particular 2 in 1 tablet segersjerry | 07:03 |
| segersjerry | lotuspsychje, thanks. ghostnik11 there you go, try the latest kernel, but to follow those instructions you have to compile the kernel and patch it | 07:03 |
| segersjerry | ghostnik11, possibly, I would try it. | 07:04 |
| ghostnik11 | segersjerry, yeah i am at the last step now which is to compile as i made all the other steps just need to compile then possilbe patch it for auto screen brightness and i should get amazing battery life and power saving | 07:05 |

| JimBuntu | wb ZaZaQ | 07:31 |
| segersjerry | ghostnik11, is there some reason you are stopping at 4.9.54? 4.9 goes up to 87 | 07:31 |
| EgoAleSum | JimBuntu: yes, where do you put it in cloud-init? under runcmd? or is there a better way to do that (e.g. in the packages section) | 07:31 |
| ZaZaQ | i'm using irssi now | 07:31 |

| ZaZaQ | what kind of hobbies you have? | 07:32 |
| ghostnik11 | segersjerry, okay thats cool, but i am trying to find a command for the 4.9.87 so i can get it and the wget command i ran didn't work | 07:32 |
| ZaZaQ | I'm using the Ubuntu 18.04 beta | 07:32 |
| segersjerry | ghostnik11, ok, you're intel I remember, are you 32 or 64 bit? | 07:33 |
| JimBuntu | ZaZaQ, for 18.04, I would prefer #ubuntu+1 | 07:33 |
| ghostnik11 | segersjerry, its a 64 bit | 07:33 |
| ZaZaQ | you mean room? | 07:33 |
| segersjerry | ghostnik11, I think you want wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.9.87/linux-headers-4.9.87-040987-generic_4.9.87-040987.201803111631_amd64.deb | 07:34 |

| ShriHari | hi | 07:43 |
| ghostnik11 | segersjerry, the only other thing is that i don't have grub properly working. i get booted to a grub that is with uefi or something like that. is there a way that i can set grub as default, i did make changes in grub.cfg | 07:44 |
| segersjerry | ghostnik11, that is black magic to me, sorry. | 07:44 |

| Frankfurt_Soup | Guys whats a nice easy desktop to use with ubuntu server? | 09:45 |
| guiverc | Frankfurt_Soup, no DE is lighter, and best in my opinion for servers. ssh into the box is quick, any graphic gui (esp. if decent resolution) just wastes bandwidth & slows ability to do anything | 09:48 |
| _Marek_ | thanks vlt :) | 09:48 |
| guiverc | (by no DE I meant no gui) | 09:49 |
| === Guest82249 is now known as matthiaskrgr | ||
| Frankfurt_Soup | Guiverc i see your point and i will mostly be admining the server from my phone via ssh but im still sorta new to linux so i guess a de is just my security blanket lol but yeah ill se how i go with just cli for now | 09:49 |
| guiverc | the lightest mainstream DE is LXDE, above that is XFCE ... then there is a larger jump.. openbox & others can be lighter than LXDE but are less mainstream (subjective!) | 09:50 |
| guiverc | gnome, kde, (even MATE now it is GTK+3) are heaver; mate is still slightly lighter though | 09:51 |
| guiverc | (above meaning heavier, but maybe more features... - heaviest are mainstream gnome/kde..) | 09:52 |
| Frankfurt_Soup | I think my main issue is file browsing but i guess i need to learn how to do it all in cli so now would be a great time to start | 09:52 |

| ikonia | atif5: you asked this earlier and was told, most are humans, ask your question | 10:05 |
| bazhang | atif5, did you have an actual ubuntu tech support issue | 10:05 |
| sveinse | This is growing so bad that multi-screen setup is becoming unusable :( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XDgUlVNVn0 | 10:06 |
| TJ- | sveinse: is the Xorg session being used? On 17.10 it'll default to Wayland rather than Xorg except on nvidia/proprietary, in which acse xrandr has no control | 10:06 |
| * JimBuntu is not human... and understands delays responses, | 10:07 | |
| ikonia | sveinse: I'm curious to how you're logging in and changing the desktop settings when both keyboards and mouse are on the desk | 10:07 |
| * TJ- is based on DuckDuckGo A.I. v0.6-rc3 :) | 10:07 | |
| JimBuntu | sveinse, 17.10? Do you expect it to be usable? | 10:07 |
| sveinse | TJ-: this is with nvidia, so its Xorg I believe. The noveau drivers does not work with hybrid graphics. Or at least it works less | 10:08 |
| JimBuntu | ikonia, I accomplish this via 'Synergy' | 10:08 |
| TJ- | sveinse: what are you trying to do? multi-monitor, or *multi-seat* ? | 10:09 |
| sveinse | TJ-: Multi monitor | 10:09 |
| JimBuntu | 9 monitors, 3 computers... one KB/Mouse to rule them all! | 10:09 |
| TJ- | sveinse: well, admittedly I've skipped 17.10 (only use LTS) but I have 6 monitors over 3 GPUs using nvidia GPUs and nouveau without a problem | 10:10 |
| sveinse | The thing is that when GDM3 starts, everything is sunshine wrt screen setup and config. It's when Gnome starts, havoks breaks loose to the display configuration. I just want to leave it at what gdm3 is using. Possible? | 10:10 |
| TJ- | sveinse: ahhh... there you have it "Gnome" - that went bad with multi-monitor way back in 2012 or earlier. I hit lots of bugs and brought them up with Gnome devs and got the response "we dont' support, or test, for multi-monitor support - in fact no Gnome dev at that time was even using multi-monitor) | 10:11 |
| ikonia | I'm on gnome with 3 monitors without issue | 10:12 |
| sveinse | TJ-: I tried 16.04, but I couldn't get the external screen working on this laptop, unfortunately. I'm waiting (in)patiently for 18.04 :D | 10:12 |
| TJ- | sveinse: My system's use lightdm and usually XFCE or KDE/Plasma | 10:12 |
| * JimBuntu has no issue with multi-monitor... multi-GPU | 10:12 | |
| sveinse | JimBuntu: Do you have a machine with hybrid graphics? | 10:12 |
| JimBuntu | sveinse, I don't rely on on-board GPU. | 10:13 |
| TJ- | sveinse: Optimus is the problem because there are so many (bad) implementations of it, both in hardware and in drivers. | 10:13 |
| sveinse | Somewhat ironically, but I bought this laptop because it was one of Canonical approved for Ubuntu types :P Lenovo P51 | 10:14 |
| TJ- | sveinse: orginally the GPU multiplexer was done in hardware and all was great, then the manuacturers wanted to save more cost so made it mux-less (no multiplexer) and that's when problems start. | 10:14 |
| * JimBuntu loves their Lenovo with built-in Nvidia GPU | 10:14 | |
| sveinse | yup. ...if only gnome could let go of trying to set my config/resolution | 10:15 |
| TJ- | sveinse: back to your orginal question... disabling the Gnome display config tool/applet - how does it interfere? does it over-ride your settings if you make changes? | 10:15 |
| JimBuntu | I will admit that it's 3x the size of my Macbook Pro... then again, it whoops the MBP's butt in benchmarks | 10:16 |
| sveinse | TJ-: Yes. Did you see my video above? | 10:16 |
| TJ- | sveinse: when the applet is running have you checked the process list to identify the binary running it? if you can ID it, you could prevent that binary from being executed ... but I'd guess whatever is monitoring/changing is in the internal libraries rather than the GUI applet | 10:17 |
| TJ- | sveinse: no; I don't touch Youtube | 10:17 |
| sveinse | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XDgUlVNVn0 <-- the same thing happens if I set resolution with xrand or similar. It behaves like "Super+P" is pressed insanely fast and then after 10-20 sec settles on a setting which I didn't ask for | 10:17 |
| sveinse | Disabling the service which is responsible for the "Super+P" functionalty would cetainly help | 10:18 |
| * TJ- ponders the internals... I wonder if it uses DBus messaging and you could disrupt that | 10:19 | |
| sveinse | Because from my POV, xorg and the drivers seems to work, since I'm getting the config and resolution I want when gnome doesn't interfere. | 10:20 |
| sveinse | I've deleted .config/monitors.xml a few times. That can help. Other times not | 10:21 |
| TJ- | sveinse: I'm reading up on the codebase; it seems like it's an internal monitor monitoring ('scuse the pun!) library so it can automatically reconfigure the display when things are connected/disconnected, so might be harder to turn off | 10:23 |
| sveinse | TJ-: but of course :P | 10:23 |
| sveinse | For reference, what is this functionality called? | 10:24 |
| sveinse | So I don't have to call it the-thing-you-get-when-pressing-Super-P | 10:24 |
| TJ- | sveinse: I'd love to know too! | 10:25 |
| sveinse | heh, got it | 10:25 |
| TJ- | sveinse: this (later answers) seem to be relevant: https://askubuntu.com/questions/68463/how-to-disable-global-super-p-shortcut#68487 | 10:26 |
| sveinse | what will be the display system and desktop slated for 18.04? | 10:26 |
| TJ- | sveinse: 18.04 default is Xorg with Gnome | 10:27 |
| TJ- | sveinse: too many problems with the Gnome Mutter (Wayland) compositor still | 10:28 |
| sveinse | TJ-: How's the maturity on nouveau with wayland? | 10:29 |
| sveinse | ...using hybrid graphics | 10:29 |
| TJ- | sveinse: no idea; not allowing any Wayland compositors on my systems; the protocol is too brain-dead and user-hostile | 10:29 |
| sveinse | I see | 10:30 |
| sveinse | That being said, and slightly OT, but I'd expect the nvidia drivers on Win10 to be more mature than what I'm experiencing in windows. They're not. In windows you cannot get full native resolution on the third screen when using 3 screens. | 10:32 |
| TJ- | sveinse: that could well be a hardware limitation, if they're high-res there may simply not be enough VRAM or CRTC bandwidth for all 3 at native resolution | 10:33 |
| sveinse | Some others at work has been bugging IT about it, and they've checked with Lenovo. Which claimed it to be a HW limitation. The funny thing is that I'm actually running this config in Xorg+nvidia without problems.... | 10:33 |
| TJ- | sveinse: if the driver by default wants to triple-buffer, then the amount of VRAM required for 3 might be too much | 10:34 |
| sveinse | Since then I've learned that it works if the make of the external screen is the same model. If you mix and match using two different screens + the internal panel in the laptop, then it doesn't work | 10:34 |
| sveinse | Anyhow, not an #ubuntu topic | 10:35 |
| TJ- | sveinse: that's interesting; are they operating independently or is 1 mirrored? | 10:35 |
| TJ- | sveinse: that kind of info is actually very useful for us in diagnosing obscure issues! | 10:36 |
| sveinse | all three independently | 10:36 |
| TJ- | sveinse: the only thing I can imagine as a restriction there would be if the 2 have to use the same EDID data - cannot imagine /why/ that would be though, I don't see any advantage | 10:36 |
| sveinse | Apparently xorg is able to get the correct EDID and config for all screens | 10:37 |
| akik | sveinse: maybe there's a similar thought process on windows driver side "who would ever need support for 3 displays?" | 10:38 |
| sveinse | Unless of course there is a correlation between the "Super+P" issues I'm experiencing and the windows display config. That it works is just an illution | 10:38 |
| TJ- | sveinse: Hmmm, for Windows, I wonder if it's that Nvidia arbitrary limitation to try to push customers to using Quadro hardware? I recall some time ago they did that for Linux - reduced the number of GPUs/monitors the linux driver would support so to keep existing functionality you could no longer update the driver | 10:38 |
| sveinse | TJ-: hmm, it *is* GM206GLM [Quadro M2200 Mobile] I have | 10:40 |
| ShriHari | you are eff'd then | 10:41 |

| NCC1701D | Hi | 10:45 |
| ShriHari | Hi | 10:45 |
| NCC1701D | So I need help finding a website editing tool to install on my web server. I need one that is WYSIWYG... nice easy snap-in interface... but the files it outputs NEED to be .php. So far all the ones I can find with a snap-in interface output .html files, then php code I put on the site won't work. | 10:47 |
| TJ- | sveinse: took some time but I /think/ the name of the gnome component is monitor-manager-kms | 10:48 |
| NCC1701D | By the way, bonus points for anyone who can figure out where my name came from. It's really easy. | 10:48 |
| bazhang | NCC1701D, how is that website editiong tool related to ubuntu support | 10:49 |
| NCC1701D | I just always get really good help here. Name a room I can take it to where I'll get equally good help and I'll go there. | 10:49 |
| TJ- | NCC1701D: search for "linux php ide" | 10:50 |
| bazhang | NCC1701D, /msg alis list term to find one | 10:50 |
| akik | TJ-: do you have a link to that gnome external monitor discussion? i've used two displays since years and would like to understand why they think it's of little use | 10:50 |
| Ben64 | btw, you can have php code in a .html file | 10:50 |
| TJ- | akik: you mean when I was told the devs weren't testing/using multi-monitors? | 10:51 |
| akik | TJ-: yes | 10:51 |
| BluesKaj | hiyas all | 10:52 |
| TJ- | akik: no; it was about 6 years ago now, and in an email exchange. I may have reported a related LP bug at the time but I can't remember. | 10:52 |
| ShriHari | HELO ELO LO O | 10:54 |
| bazhang | ShriHari, any ubuntu support issues? | 10:55 |
| bazhang | ShriHari, please take the offtopic chatter to #ubuntu-offtopic or elsewhere | 10:55 |

| _Marek_ | NCC1701D: ghost? | 11:06 |
| bumblebee | hi. could you please tell me how to install a lexmark x1160 printer on linux (ubuntu/lubuntu)? | 11:07 |
| _Marek_ | bumblebee: does it have opne source drivers? | 11:08 |
| bumblebee | _Marek_: i don't know | 11:09 |
| bumblebee | where can i see that? | 11:10 |
| _Marek_ | bumblebee: seems like its impossible | 11:10 |
| bumblebee | oh | 11:10 |
| _Marek_ | just google fro your printer model linux drivers | 11:10 |
| bumblebee | http://support.lexmark.com/index?page=content&productCode=&segment=SUPPORT&userlocale=EN_UK&id=RE108 | 11:11 |
| bumblebee | A Linux driver is not available for this printer. | 11:11 |
| bumblebee | does this mean that i can't get it to work? | 11:12 |
| _Marek_ | most likely | 11:13 |
| _Marek_ | ive got a xerox .... (doesnt matter it doesnt work anyway) | 11:13 |
| JimBuntu | bumblebee, You can get it to work if you write/modify the driver. Chances are, you can use a "compatible" driver though | 11:13 |
| Ben64 | it's a printer from over 10 years ago, i'd say the chances are slim | 11:14 |
| BluesKaj | Lexmark has scanty linux support | 11:14 |
| Ben64 | that too | 11:14 |
| bumblebee | JimBuntu: what do you mean bei "compatible driver"? | 11:15 |
| bumblebee | bei=by | 11:15 |
| _Marek_ | bumblebee: a driver that is meant for more printer models | 11:15 |
| TJ- | _Marek_: seems like there /was/ a community driver for it 18 years ago! https://www.openprinting.org/driver/lm1100/ | 11:15 |
| akik | bumblebee: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters/LexmarkPrinters | 11:15 |
| _Marek_ | TJ-: it seems the situation hasnt changed that much | 11:16 |
| JimBuntu | bumblebee, I mean there may be a universal type driver that works OK. I'm looking, sounds like TJ found something though | 11:16 |
| * _Marek_ owns a xerox 3230 phaser | 11:16 | |
| TJ- | _Marek_: I'm not surprised; Lexmark never were good at providing/allowing Linux support | 11:16 |
| JimBuntu | Lexmark != "good for much" | 11:16 |
| _Marek_ | it seems neither does xerox | 11:16 |
| TJ- | _Marek_: printer vendors love lock-in | 11:17 |
| _Marek_ | TJ-: some do have oss drivers i think hp ddoes | 11:17 |
| TJ- | _Marek_: I have HP and Samsung multi-function printer/scanner/fax/etc; HP drivers are in Ubuntu, Samsumg provided by a 3rd party repo from someone who cares | 11:19 |
| _Marek_ | http://www.support.xerox.com/support/phaser-3020/downloads/enus.html?operatingSystem=linux&fileLanguage=en | 11:19 |
| _Marek_ | does someone understand? two packages which seem to be the same | 11:19 |
| _Marek_ | inside full of .so libs | 11:20 |
| _Marek_ | and it doesnt even work | 11:20 |
| TJ- | _Marek_: looks like 2 titles for the same package. Compare the md5sum's of the 2 files see if they are identical | 11:21 |
| _Marek_ | my bet is they are | 11:22 |
| _Marek_ | point is they dont care | 11:22 |

| EriC^^ | ? | 11:43 |
| TJ- | EriC^^: it'll follow the dependency graph down to it's root, so if along the way there's a package declares a Conflicts: with the same package of the alternate archtiecture, it'll say it needs to remove everything of the alternate architecture to install the packages of the requested architecture - what a mouthful! | 11:44 |

| NERD-k | Me? Do nothoing. Just reboot, | 13:05 |
| JimBuntu | z0, Well, I can't (literally) figure out why you would be running MongoDB and not know it. I could only venture you installed it once upon a time to play with. | 13:05 |
| NERD-k | I have no idea with this. | 13:06 |
| JimBuntu | z0, I wouldn't consider MongoDB to be a common database option when installing something else. | 13:06 |
| TJ- | z0: what have you experimented with recently? one possibility is wekan | 13:06 |
| TJ- | z0: you could do "zgrep mongo /var/log/apt/history.*" | 13:08 |
| erdem | the nodejs package is a bit old | 13:10 |
| erdem | what would be the right way to get a newer one? | 13:10 |
| JimBuntu | TJ-, or possibly even check out the `/var/log/mongodb/mongod.log` to see what ( if anything) has been running queries | 13:10 |
| JimBuntu | z0, you could run `mongo` and then try `show dbs` to see the database names | 13:11 |
| z0 | JimBuntu: TJ-: i did all that. no relevant clues. just a lonely apt install mongodb-server in the middle of the afternoon 10 months ago... thanks guys. | 13:14 |
| JimBuntu | z0, Yeah , sounds like it's safe to `chmod -x /etc/init.d/mongod*` then | 13:15 |
| TJ- | z0: so now you have a date/time ... use that to narrow down what you were up to. Look in the same log-file around that install for other packages being installed, that may jog your memory, or you could scan the file-system iwth 'find' for files timestamped within a range of that time | 13:15 |

| * z0 not clicking | 13:33 | |
| estudiante6 | hellow | 13:33 |
| TJ- | z0: it means that the libstc++6 ABI/API has changed so any packages linking to it expecting the older libstc++6 ABI/API will fails, so the libstdc++6 package declares it 'Breaks' specific package/versions so those won't be installed at the same time. | 13:35 |
| z0 | TJ-: still dont get why apt-cache lists libstdc++6 as a reverse dependency of mongodb-server. wouldn't this mean that libstdc++6 depends on mongodb-server (surely not). am i misinterpreting rdepends? | 13:38 |
| TJ- | z0: Depends: Conflicts: Breaks: Recommends: Suggests: are all 'dependencies' in apt terms; that's why | 13:38 |

| kostkon | VjdfMQ, try doing the same in the terminal, MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.0 my_game_command, it might work | 14:21 |

| a_ | I hate windows just keeping it for some official hardware programs which are not avaliable for linux | 15:19 |
| a_ | how about if I just install ubuntu on the entire ssd that can also solve the problem right | 15:21 |
| leftyfb | a_: if you need Windows, reinstall Windows first | 15:21 |
| a_ | I know leftyfb | 15:22 |
| a_ | I can do another clean install later cause win 7 installing page is not launching when I use the win 7usb stick | 15:23 |

Currently, when I double click some text in a window it doesn't copy that anymore and the middle mouse button just keeps pasting the same thing :/. I don't want to have to reboot every time... is there something that I can do to fix this? | 16:45 |
| Aleric | window switching is broken too... ALT-TAB does nothing | 16:54 |
| dchotas | TJ-: I've also tested creating a new user and this new user seems to work just fine, wether it's booting a Ubuntu session or a cairo dock session they both work. I've also noted that on my faulty user cairo complains of not finding compiz, while it's perfectly usable by a newly created user. | 16:57 |
| * huggis | 16:58 | |
| TJ- | dchotas: that's useful info, I wonder what's in it's config causing that | 17:01 |
| Aleric | I fixed it... Alt-F2 and then type: kquitapp5 plasmashell && kstart plasmashell | 17:02 |
| Aleric | After that copy&paste works again... so plasmashell is broken | 17:02 |
| dchotas | TJ-: I've a plethora of things regarding config files, I tried copying ~/.config/cairo-dock from a newly created user to the faulty one or even hiding the .compiz and .config folders my moving to *.bak on the faulty user but that didn't help | 17:03 |
| TheSHAD0W | Question: Will 17.10 update cleanly to 18.04 - at least, theoretically? | 17:03 |
| dchotas | TJ-: would it be possible for compiz to keep some sort of user related configurations on it's own folders or some other system folder? | 17:03 |
| TJ- | dchotas: yeah, it's been an elusive one to track down which is why we don't know yet | 17:03 |
| TJ- | dchotas: I don't think so, that's the point of the per-user config, but if it did it'd likely be under /var/ somewhere | 17:04 |

| finder123 | I have an ext4 formatted usb drive, which mounts fine and writeable when running as normal user in ubuntu. But when logged in as guest session, it says permission denied when opening the drive in file manager. Won't even list the directory contents. | 17:15 |
| finder123 | but a fat32 formatted drive works fine | 17:16 |
| finder123 | is this the intended behavior? | 17:16 |

| arthur_ | Thanks for the definition | 17:24 |
| shazbotmcnasty | and there's one other definition. | 17:24 |
| finder123 | oerheks: I just read a little bit about sudo and su. su switches to the root user, while sudo -i gives a session where the user is not changed but is elevated to root privileges. | 17:24 |
| TJ- | arthur_: try ubuntu@iam.tj if you want | 17:24 |
| arthur_ | Thanks, TJ. I will take a look now. | 17:25 |
| finder123 | oerheks: so su; mkdir creates a dir with user and group root:root while sudo -i; mkdir creates with finder:finder | 17:25 |
| akik | finder123: sudo -i gives you the root user shell | 17:26 |
| finder123 | Regardless of whether a folder is owned by root or normal user, shouldn't a folder with drwxrwxrwx permission.be readable to all users? | 17:26 |
| akik | finder123: commands you run after sudo -i create everything with root ownership | 17:26 |
| TJ- | finder123: it depends on the parent directories too, the path up from / | 17:26 |
| finder123 | akik: oh. I think i got it wrong then. Let me dig a little bit more | 17:27 |
| TJ- | finder123: the user needs to have +x (traverse) permission on all parent directories | 17:28 |
| finder123 | TJ-: I am in $HOME. But this gives me permission error. What is going on here? su; mkdir foo; chmod 777 foo; exit; ls foo | 17:28 |
| finder123 | ls -la . shows drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 Mar 12 22:26 foo | 17:29 |
| TJ- | finder123: I'm not sure what problem you're trying to solve. If it is related to *mounting* an ext4 permissions, then it's the permissions *inside* the file-system, not those outside, that control access | 17:30 |
| TJ- | finder123: which is why FAT works, since it has no concept of permissions attributes | 17:31 |

| nacc | xet7: just use the edge channel, no? | 19:05 |
| xet7 | nacc: rpm package of snap | 19:06 |
| xet7 | not edge | 19:06 |
| nacc | xet7: 'rpm package of snap'?? | 19:06 |
| nacc | xet7: do you understand what a snap is? | 19:06 |
| xet7 | https://snapcraft.io/ | 19:06 |
| nacc | xet7: that particular jenkins job is for testing the edge snap | 19:06 |
| xet7 | where are downloads? | 19:07 |
| xet7 | for snap for different operating systems | 19:07 |
| nacc | xet7: i don't understand what you mean? it's a snap, you get it from the snap store, like any other snap | 19:07 |
| nacc | xet7: use `snap install lxd` | 19:07 |
| xet7 | installing snapd package | 19:07 |
| xet7 | not package from store | 19:07 |
| nacc | xet7: if you are on centos, you are also on the wrong channel | 19:07 |

| nacc | xet7: i don't know what you are saying, and you're not using complete sentences | 19:08 |
| nacc | xet7: you don't know how to install snapd on centos? | 19:08 |
| xet7 | yes | 19:08 |
| nacc | xet7: that is a question for centos | 19:08 |
| nacc | xet7: this is the ubuntu support channel | 19:08 |
| xet7 | isn't snap developed by canonical? | 19:09 |
| nacc | xet7: ... what does that have to do with anything? | 19:09 |
| lotuspsychje | xet7: we support snaps for ubuntu.. | 19:09 |
| xet7 | Ok, I'll look elsewhere | 19:09 |

| nehemiah | Looking for inspiration to solve the following issue: I have a preseeded ubuntu installation. After installing from that ISO, a computer turns into an LTSP instance. All works great so far. The problem is that I'll have to distribute this ISO to people who will then install it on a machine but do not necessarily have great technical skills. One issue I'm left with is having more or less automated backups of peoples home directories. Probably with some ex | 20:37 |
| pragmaticenigma | nehemiah, I think your message was cut off mid-sentence... | 20:41 |
| vlt | nehemiah: after "some ex" | 20:41 |
| pragmaticenigma | I think they were going to say with some examples. If that were the case, I'm surprised google hasn't generated anything for them. I wish I knew what LTSP instances were and how to make an automated install disk | 20:43 |
| vlt | pragmaticenigma: LTSP is the Linux Terminal Server Project. | 20:45 |
| vlt | Works great,. | 20:46 |
| nehemiah | Probably with some external device. I've thought about using btrfs for the /home partition to automate snapshots. But I need something in case the hard disk dies. Any ideas how to solve this? | 20:47 |
| vlt | nehemiah: Put everything on LVM on Raid. | 20:49 |
| vlt | nehemiah: A dead harddisk can be replaced while everything just keeps running. | 20:50 |
| vlt | nehemiah: For the backups of /home you can either use an LVM snapshot or just rsync or rdiff-backup. | 20:51 |
| nehemiah | I'm mostly worried about not loosinguser data after a hard drive failure | 20:52 |
| vlt | nehemiah: Raid. | 20:52 |
| vlt | nehemiah: But Raid != backup | 20:52 |
| nehemiah | We'll there's the issue. | 20:52 |
| vlt | Raid just protects against having to shut everyhing down and restore from backup when one drive fails. And it will. Drives die. | 20:53 |
| Sven_vB | every now and then udisksd starts pushing my system load. how can I see what it's trying to do currently? (to decide whether that's worth it) | 20:53 |
| vlt | nehemiah: I don’t understand the issue here. | 20:54 |
| nehemiah | My users will just grab any computer laying around and make a computer lab out of it with some instructions. Creating a raid or anything like that will be out of their reach. Also, I'm not worried about the LTSP install since the automated install will fix that in less than an hour. | 20:54 |
| nehemiah | We'll, the idea is that the user just plugs in a hard drive. | 20:54 |
| nehemiah | Maybe with a specific label | 20:54 |
| nehemiah | The lab will recognize it on say a cronjob | 20:55 |
| nehemiah | And start rsyncing /home to it on a regular interval. | 20:55 |
| nehemiah | That's the idea I had | 20:55 |
| nehemiah | But I wonder if somebody has a btter idea. | 20:55 |
| cheguacamole | If they can plug in a hard drive surely they can manage some other check list for R.A.I.D. also | 20:58 |

| dabba | its part of the landscape-server package that we can run privately as 'on-premises' mode to manage our ubuntu machines | 22:17 |
| dabba | it worked fine for the past 300 or so days since i setup landscape-server | 22:17 |
| akik | soc: i think you've dug your own grave with your modifications :) | 22:18 |
| soc | it worked perfectly fine for a year or something | 22:18 |
| dabba | I assume it's a cron entry but not sure where it is, its not under the landscape user | 22:19 |
| pragmaticenigma | soc, ubuntu 18.04 is beta and shouldn't be used for everyday use yet. | 22:19 |
| soc | pragmaticenigma: yes, I know, I usually use it because of the more recent openjdk packages | 22:20 |
| dabba | pragmaticenigma, found it /etc/cron.d/landscape-server has the entry: # Security Updates | 22:20 |
| dabba | 35 * * * * landscape /opt/canonical/landscape/scripts/update_security_db.sh | 22:20 |
| soc | pragmaticenigma: I'm often fine with sorting out intermittent issues myself, but I can't seem to sort out this one | 22:20 |
| pragmaticenigma | soc, in that case, you should go to #ubuntu+1 and ask there. If there is a bug it will help get it resolved before final release | 22:20 |
| dabba | and like i mentioned when i run it manually as user landscape it completes fine, just the automated execution fails every time | 22:20 |
| soc | I removed the XAUTHORITY line from .pam_environment, didn't help | 22:21 |
| soc | ok, thanks, will try that | 22:21 |
| pragmaticenigma | dabba, add an output redirect to that cron job so it outputs to a text file in a folder where you can find it. Take a look and see if there is an error in the output. | 22:22 |
| dabba | there is a log file: /var/log/landscape-server/update-security-db.log | 22:23 |
| dabba | all it has in it is essentially the same message every hour: | 22:23 |

| TabMasher | ugh | 22:25 |
| pragmaticenigma | dabba, just a suggestion, use pastbin to put those.. it will make it easier to read | 22:26 |
| TabMasher | dabba: Consider paste bin. | 22:26 |
| dabba | rgr will do so next time | 22:27 |
| dabba | the lines are broken in the long so it still would've looked like garbage | 22:27 |
| === slde_track is now known as sidetrack | ||
| dabba | but i'll keep it out of chat next time :) | 22:27 |
| dabba | could it be that every instance of landscape-server that is defaulted to checking that pickle every 35th minute of every hour is causing my download to die? I'm going to change it to 45 minutes and monitor | 22:29 |
| pragmaticenigma | dabba, is it possible your running low on disk space? I don't see why it can't download in the cron job, but can download manually | 22:29 |
| dabba | no disk space issues | 22:29 |
| pragmaticenigma | dabba, it is possible that the source server only allows downloads every X number of minutes | 22:29 |
| yaskina | what is the terminal commands for the swap setting | 22:30 |
| dabba | yeah but it fails for days on end, without completeing, but when I login and manually run it (at times other than the schedule time) it completes quickly with no issue. I suspect the response is truly taking too long like the log says, so I'll get the update at a non-default time | 22:31 |
| yaskina | wish they would just add it to the gui | 22:31 |
| dabba | and maybe it'll work... i might follow up with ya, pragmaticenigma, if you care to hear about the outcome | 22:31 |
| dabba | I've got to head off to class at the moment unfortunately, didn't realize the time! | 22:31 |
| pragmaticenigma | dabba, good luck... maybe the different time will help. feel free to report back when you find out | 22:33 |

| sere | is the a ppa for android studio? | 22:54 |
| bazhang | sere, a quick web search says yes | 22:55 |
| pragmaticenigma | strength, ask your question here, someone may have the answer | 22:56 |
| strength | pragmaticenigma, well, tahnks. i'm trying to clean install win10 with the latest .iso on a macpro4,1 [flashed to 5,1 with high sierra]. i can get the uefi based usb to start the installer, but the installer just BSOD at the windows icon loading screen... | 23:01 |
| akik | strength: does the usb stick work on some other computer? | 23:02 |
| soc | ok, thanks to everyone involved, looks like the read-only $HOME was not the culprit in this case | 23:06 |
| soc | btw, here is the guide I wrote on making $HOME read-only: https://soc.github.io/articles/linux/self-defense-against-dotfiles.html | 23:07 |
| akik | soc: what do you use your home dir for? | 23:07 |
| vitalii | привет | 23:08 |
| akik | !ru | 23:08 |
| ubottu | Пожалуйста наберите /join #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке. | Pozhalujsta naberite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke. | 23:08 |
| vitalii | спасб | 23:08 |
| vitalii | /join #ubuntu-ru | 23:09 |
| soc | akik: for the usual stuff, audio, code, video, documents, config, cache etc. | 23:09 |
| akik | soc: but if you keep it read-only? | 23:10 |
| soc | yes. the directories underneath are writable | 23:11 |
| akik | ah just the $HOME | 23:12 |
| akik | so you don't mount it read-only | 23:12 |
| vitalii | где там набрать ? /join #ubuntu-ru? | 23:12 |
| akik | vitalii: please write in english | 23:12 |
| soc | no, I just did chmod $HOME -200 | 23:13 |
| akik | soc: i hope your apps get fixed before there'll be a new standard :) | 23:14 |
| === void__ is now known as _Marek_ | ||

| vitalii | how add this chanal t/join #ubuntu-ru | 23:16 |
| akik | vitalii: you are on that channel already | 23:16 |
| soc | akik: which new standard? | 23:17 |
| akik | soc: the standard that comes after xdg | 23:17 |
| akik | soc: i just mean that it might not be possible for all your apps to be updated to xdg standard | 23:18 |
| soc | well, I'm not too troubled about that. I don't think that any future standard would be a regression compared to xdg | 23:18 |
| soc | akik: yeah, I write pacthes from time to time to get apps fixed | 23:18 |
| soc | nano for instance doesn't use .nano and .nanorc anymore | 23:18 |

| neredsenvy | Anyone knows of software to remap keyboard keys | 23:54 |
| neredsenvy | something with a UI | 23:54 |
| Budgii__ | yes | 23:54 |
| Budgii__ | Oh, i'm in ubuntu channel, sorry neredsenvy | 23:54 |
| Budgii__ | I do have an idea though! | 23:54 |
| Budgii__ | xdotool and assign keys to the xdotool script? | 23:54 |
| neredsenvy | I was hoping for something with an UI for easy work | 23:56 |
| Budgii__ | What extent of remapping are you needing? | 23:56 |
| Budgii__ | I was going to suggest Autohotkey but this is linux | 23:56 |
| neredsenvy | 9 keys need remapping | 23:57 |
| Budgii__ | just to other keys? | 23:57 |
| oerheks | on what ubuntu version, and for global use or application? | 23:58 |
| neredsenvy | Yes I have some keys on laptop keyboard that stopped working and id like to remap them | 23:58 |
| neredsenvy | global | 23:58 |
| Budgii__ | give me one key and i'll try it | 23:58 |
| neredsenvy | ubuntu 17.10 | 23:58 |
| Budgii__ | what key, and what key to have it remapped to | 23:58 |
| oerheks | hmm the screen keyboard would be helpfull | 23:59 |
