[00:07] my installation of git doesn't come with the user manual. [00:07] how do I install this? [00:07] I am on 16.04 [00:09] widp: man git [00:09] I did info git [00:10] I saw a link to html manual pages and concepts at the end. === nubcake is now known as nubcake_ [00:10] man git, or https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/git.html === nubcake_ is now known as nubcake [00:10] I couldn't find those files on my system. [00:10] widp: man git [00:11] even man git has the same links [00:11] but not on my system [00:12] at the end in the NOTES section, I see file:///user/share/doc/git/html/user-manual.html mentioned [00:12] which also contains a section on git-concepts, but I don't see these on my system. [00:12] widp, what are you trying to do with git that you need the manual for? [00:13] widp: man git IS the manual [00:13] pragmaticenigma: trying to understand git, what else? [00:13] i'm trying to restore an image created by clonezilla to a harddisk. unfortunately clonezilla only shows the "saveparts/disks" options but no restore options. Any hint on what i'm doing wrong? [00:13] widp, https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Git-Basics [00:13] slidinghorn: are you sure, the description says, "The user's manual has a more in depth introduction" [00:14] pragmaticenigma: I am familiar with git. [00:14] I know I could look up the documentation online too. [00:16] widp, This is a support channel for understanding Ubuntu... perhaps /join #git is a better place to find the information your seekeing [00:16] I am just looking for a package which would install the complete git documentation on my system. [00:16] for me to browse locally. [00:16] widp: sudo apt install git-doc [00:17] awesome thank you leftyfb === Mathis|2 is now known as Mathis [00:51] widp, and dont use info files [00:51] why not? [00:52] or the command [00:52] its gnu centric [00:52] nobody uses it [00:52] and its stupid [00:52] I feel info is more feature rich [00:53] yeah, you know what's more feature rich and used by everyone? html [00:54] mmm it seems i'm irritated today, apologies [00:54] np [00:55] I also use info expecting to find more in depth info, so there is that. [00:56] there is, but as i said, its gnu centric, so it will fail most times [00:58] I see. [00:58] try w3m and google :) [00:59] no it is not. And, at least for coreutils, info info has the full manual pages [01:00] it is not? [01:01] it is not stupid.

[01:34] luke-jr: looks like more are missing, y, z, a. :) [01:34] luke-jr: I guess someone got lazy [01:35] probably, but I only really care about bionic tbh :p [01:36] (I highly doubt just appending it to the list will work either, since the Debian vmbuilder list includes stretch, but fails to build it due to vmbuilder setting locale in some totally non-standard and unsupported way) === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash [01:40] which gcc should I be installing on 17? [01:40] 17.10 [01:40] chegney, you should use the default included in the packamage manager [01:40] is that like default-gcc or something? [01:41] !gcc [01:41] Compiling software from source?

This is 16.04 === Guest55123 is now known as unioperator [02:43] no idea [02:43] i was think there might be way [02:43] icecold_: So, for example, there is no drop-down menu where you can pick the desktop environment -- either it only appears if you have multiple installed, or 16.04 just doesn't include that [02:43] via the terminal [02:43] oh ok [02:43] in the ling screen [02:43] mikeneedshelp: Can you activate the guest account and there have full GUI funtionality ? Then we know it is a config issue in your user account . [02:43] aww [02:43] good idea [02:44] Bashing-om: Yes, the guest account works. [02:46] I don't think I have any configuration like .xsession or anything. I probably have tweaked some gconf settings though [02:47] i over tweak compiz [02:47] i suck at it. === Budgii_ is now known as Budgii [02:48] hm, I can run e.g. unity-control-center, it just lacks the window border (so I can't resize it, and there's no panel at the top for file/edit/minimize/etc) [02:48] mikeneedshelp: I might suggest you try and revert unity back to defaults . [02:48] ok but how [02:50] how do I remove a service and then install it again after making changes to the service file? [02:50] mikeneedshelp: Gimme a bit .. kinda busy right now in another channel .

Reboot to see the effect . [03:05] Bashing-om: how bout I just move them out of the way ;) doing that now... [03:07] Bashing-om: no effect [03:07] mikeneedshelp: :) .. that is the "safer" thing to do . [03:10] mikeneedshelp: Wow .. unexpected result . ' sudo apt install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop ' .

Anyone know where those are stored? [03:42] <^Mike\b> aha, I messed up when restoring ~/.gconf, I bet that's where the terminal profile is [03:47] <^Mike\b> weeeeird, my gnome-terminal profile is still the same uuid or whatever as before, but it doesn't have any of my customizations (e.g. the colour scheme) [03:47] * artik looks at watch [03:47] its 2018--im getting scared for kin [03:48] * artik shivers [03:48] * artik shivers [03:50] A while ago here I was trying to make a desktop file for Android Studio and someone said something along the lines of "next time consider installing it with _____", but I forgot what that _____ was. anyone know what it could have been?

I have a usb device (xbox 360 controller) that i need a driver to pick up, problem, it's off-brand and the identifiers aren't picking it up as what it is, so the xpad driver isn't kicking in and giving it a /dev/input/js0 /js1 designation [06:42] how do I manually say "any usb device with this identifier is meant to be used with THIS driver, linux, please start THIS DRIVER to run THIS USB DEVICE" [06:42] xgpt: what version of ubuntu are you using, and what is the make/model of the controller [06:43] slidinghorn: I'm not sure, it's an older one, but it's a powerA xbox 360 controller [06:43] one moment [06:43] I'll get you what lsusb shows [06:43] Bus 006 Device 009: ID 24c6:530a [06:43] xgpt: ubuntu version?

It works fine with a different less-off-brand controller...on the retropie installation [06:53] but hwo do I find the udev rule that is mounting this thing appropriately on my *buntu box? [06:54] I'd like to copy that over to the retropie build I've got. That's a *buntu related support issue. How do I find the udev rule that is mounting and running the xpad driver on this piece of hardware? It's doing it automatically, I'd like to see it [06:54] sorry, that's what brought me in here initially [06:54] xgpt: there's no way for us to know how your retropie is configured, and it's not simply a matter of copying and pasting a setting across distributions. [06:55] slidinghorn: that's fine, but how do I figure out how *buntu is FINDING the controller? [06:56] like...how do I write a rule so udev initializes a driver? because right now my issue isn't that the driver I have isn't working, but it's that the distro isn't recognizing it [06:56] xgpt: watch dmesg as you plug and unplug it maybe [06:57] where is dmesg?

[08:47] V7: iirc that is indeed stored in kwallet [08:47] you can open the kwallet manager and search [08:48] KWalletManager has 3 applications connected: [08:48] kwalletmanager5 [08:48] kded5 [08:48] Google Chrome [08:48] just installed 18.04 and got the nvidia driver installed, however while it shows me as using the nvidia driver my resolution is really small and only one of my two displays is working [08:49] linuxbox1: go into nvidia-settings and configure [08:49] hateball: Also, the password hadn't be saved [08:49] Just connected without marking "Save password" checkbox [08:49] So, it just saved somewhere in cache or something like that [08:50] hateball: yeah i see that nvidia settings, but no place to change the resolution there [08:50] linuxbox1: #ubuntu+1 for 18.04 [08:50] V7: could try moving/clearing ~/.config/dolphin I guess [08:50] nothing under profiles or configuration, just a bunch of random crap [08:50] V7: ack no [08:50] hateball: There's no such folder [08:50] V7: ~/.cache/dolphin [08:51] No such folder [08:51] that's... you should have a .cache folder [08:51] when i go to the normal display settings i only see one resolution option, on nvidia settings I only see application profiles and configuration on the left, but no place to change the resolution [08:51] ~/.cache exists, ~/.cache/dolphin doesn't [08:52] odd [08:52] or to even manage displays for that matter [08:52] linuxbox1: #ubuntu+1 for bionic support please [08:52] it did mention if i'm going to use proprietary drivers that i couldn't use uefi and that it would help me with that…but i'll be damned i don't see how it helped in any way heh [08:53] You can use UEFI just fine, but you need to disable module verification in the bootloader shim [08:53] Which the package is supposed to do for you [08:54] linuxbox1: also if it's hybrid gpu, make sure nvidia-prime is installed and that you've actually selected the nvidia card and not the intel one [08:54] hmm i dunno, it's the only reason i can think of that … - well maybe i should say that i used sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall [08:54] not sure if that makes a difference [08:55] That's the correct way [08:55] Well, if not using the GUI [08:55] well damn…how do i disabled the module verification or check that it was done? [08:56] hate when i typo, it make it look like english is my 5th language and it's my first heh [08:58] it says nvidia-settings could not find the registry key file [09:00] any ideas hateball? [09:01] linuxbox1: you mean in the terminal? dont worry about that [09:01] linuxbox1: what chipset was this, was it a hybrid gpu with both intel and nvidia? [09:01] or just a pure nvidia? [09:02] hateball: yeh just something random i seen so figured i'd mention it - naw 1080ti hybrid just a fancy way of saying it's watercooled [09:02] and air cooled [09:03] i'm just thinking either it's uefi related or some how this 390 driver isn't quite being used [09:03] software & updates confirms it's in use, but … [09:04] can't beleive it's 2018 and ya still have to deal with this lame shiet [09:04] !language | linuxbox1 [09:04] linuxbox1: Please avoid any language that may be considered offensive, including acronyms and obfuscation of such - also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines || The main channels are English only, for other languages, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [09:04] this was why i never made linux my primary back in the early days [09:04] linuxbox1: Well you have nvidia to thank for that. What module is used according to: lspci -k |grep -A 3 VGA [09:05] hateball: ps tells: sftp.so [kdeinit5] sftp local:/run/user/1000/klauncherDkFaXr.1.slave-socket [09:05] So, it shows that it creates some sockets, but after them being removed nothing changes, it stays connected [09:06] says vga compatible controller nvidia corp gp102 and then my card name in brackets [09:07] below that module nvidiafb, nouveau, nvidia_drm, nvidia audo blah blah [09:07] linuxbox1: yeah that means the modules are loaded properly [09:08] linuxbox1: what, nouveau [09:08] that shouldnt be loaded, hmmm [09:09] linuxbox1: so just to make sure Secure Boot isnt breaking things, run this: sudo mokutil --disable-validation [09:12] failed to request new moksb state [09:12] i'm done heh…it's 2am..i guess it's back to blue screens for me === shann_ is now known as shann [09:17] hola [09:21] hi all, i upgraded xubuntu 16.04 to 17.10 (it was just 1 direct upgrade) - after reboot I can't seem to login. The login manager shows a black screen then returns to login. trying to go into tty1 or others just shows a blinking cursor, no possibility for text login [09:22] blip99: 16.04 to 17.10 is not a supported upgrade path [09:23] hateball, hmm i thought if the gui allowed it then it was fine :/ [09:23] hateball: d-r-u supports that release-upgrade path now [09:24] and an article I read (not official) said Update: Ubuntu 17.04 reached end-of-life on January 13, 2018. Ubuntu 16.04 users can now upgrade directly to Ubuntu 17.10. [09:24] my bad then [09:24] guess i should boot in recovery mode as a first step? [09:24] blip99: i think you did it right [09:24] blip99: can you SSH into it from another PC? [09:24] blip99: alternatively, start it in Recovery mode from the GRUB boot menu? [09:24] TJ-, ok i'll do the latter now [09:25] blip99: remote SSH is better since we can investigate it whilst it's broken [09:27] TJ-, don't have sshd enabled i think, I'm in root shell [09:29] TJ-: ah, didnt know [09:29] blip99: Is there network connectivity? [09:30] blip99: being able to pastebin logs would handy at this point [09:30] TJ-, hmm i enabled networking but it doesnt seem enabled. ok ill reboot [09:31] blip99: hang on!!! [09:32] TJ-, it says network is unreachable whilst trying to enable [09:32] blip99: go into the GRUB boot menu, highlight the Ubuntu entry, press 'e' to edit it, navigate down to the line starting 2linux ..." and towards the end add "systemd.unit=multi-user.target" to the options, then press Ctrl+X (or F10) to boot - that'll boot to console not to GUI [09:32] ok thanks. 1 min [09:35] TJ-, forever blinking cursor [09:36] blip99: ok, try the same again but when editing the kernel command line also add "nomodeset" === markus is now known as Guest77153 [09:40]
