| cogita_semper | hello, how do I stop my laptop from hibernating when I close the lid? I installed gnome-tweaks and changed it there but no dice | 00:52 |
| xamithan | Depends on your version | 00:58 |
| undeclared | It's possible you did it right but you clicked cancel possibly by accident? | 00:58 |
| undeclared | Just an idea, if not, ignore me ;) | 00:59 |
| cogita_semper | 17.10 | 01:00 |
| xamithan | You double checked you didn't hit cancel? Then you rebooted ? | 01:03 |
| cogita_semper | theres no cancel or ok or save or anything | 01:05 |
| cogita_semper | i have rebooted and the setting still is on off but it doesn't stop it from suspending | 01:05 |
| === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash | ||
| xamithan | Hmm I'll test on my laptop | 01:06 |
| xamithan | Works fine here, maybe try a different user or see if you can find the gsettings switch | 01:08 |
| cogita_semper | hmm, thats odd. its working fine now but it didnt when the computer was restarting after changing the setting | 01:13 |
| cogita_semper | is this a gnome-only setting?? because I want to use this laptop as a "server" that I can VNC into | 01:14 |
| xamithan | It is a setting that'll be specific to your DE, which is currently gnome | 01:22 |

| plongshot | My laptop dies when I unplug it and it has been shutting down after a couple updates ago. I hadn't changed the settings but it started acting different. I have some information here if it helps any: https://imgur.com/a/OebtLmG Does anyone know of any recent problems? | 01:48 |
| plongshot | I didn't used to have this problem before and the infor I can get about the battery seems to saying it's ok? | 01:49 |

| === bhalithan1 is now known as bhalithan | ||
| pragmaticenigma | plongshot, reboot the laptop into bios and try unplugging it... if it stays on longer than it does while running ubuntu, then it's an issue with Ubuntu. If the laptop powers off shortly after unplugging it while in BIOS. then the battery is no good. | 02:13 |
| mmercer | ok... is there some magical trick to getting a bootable usb flash media for ubuntu server 16.04.4.... | 02:14 |
| mmercer | ive used dd from linux on 5 different usb flash drives, ive used etcher on macos on 3 different flash drives. every single one of them reports 'floppy error accessing block 0' | 02:15 |
| plongshot | pragmaticenigma: Thanks, will try | 02:15 |
| pragmaticenigma | mmercer, if you have a UEFI enabled system, imaging the USB stick via DD will not work | 02:17 |
| mmercer | pragmaticenigma: it boots. it gets past the keyboard language choice... and crashes after reading something something /m, /n, /o or similar | 02:18 |
| mmercer | it scrolls by fast enough that im not sure what its saying, but it seems like its just an alphabetic list of directories at that point... and then.. nothing | 02:18 |
| pragmaticenigma | mmercer, it looks like one of your options for creating media was with a Mac... This is the instructions for using a Mac with Etcher: https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-create-a-usb-stick-on-macos#0 it has the settings needed and should work for server | 02:19 |
| mmercer | pragmaticenigma: thats exactly what i used | 02:20 |
| mmercer | because creating it from fedora media writer wasnt working. ive used the same process for fedora, centos, redhat, etc images for years | 02:20 |
| pragmaticenigma | mmercer, have you checked the Checksum of the image you downloaded? | 02:20 |
| mmercer | yep | 02:20 |
| pragmaticenigma | hrm | 02:20 |
| mmercer | was my first thought... 03a validated | 02:20 |
| mmercer | its why im baffled | 02:21 |
| mmercer | and im sure its not the machine too, lol. ive done numerous reinstalls of centos and fedora on it recently with the same usb port, etc | 02:21 |
| mmercer | ( same processes for creating the media too ) =D | 02:21 |
| pragmaticenigma | mmercer, I did see in one bug report that disabling Floppy drive support in bios helped | 02:22 |
| mmercer | pragmaticenigma: hehe... i did that too | 02:22 |
| mmercer | its weird as crap | 02:22 |
| mmercer | i must be going crazy =D | 02:23 |
| pragmaticenigma | what about using the ubuntu mini.iso instead? | 02:23 |
| pragmaticenigma | assuming you don't need UEFI | 02:23 |
| mmercer | dont need it, i do generally prefer it, but its definitely not a need | 02:23 |
| pragmaticenigma | just thinking of other install options that might work better for ya | 02:23 |
| mmercer | * nods * the irony.... this is all to get to the 'preferred' platform for the openstack-ansible aio installer | 02:24 |
| pragmaticenigma | ah | 02:24 |
| mmercer | since centos 7 apparently doesnt get much love | 02:24 |
| pragmaticenigma | centos... my preferred distro, if only it wasn't so hard to work with multimedia | 02:25 |
| pragmaticenigma | i've gotta scoot here. I'm sure you'll find luck... wishing you the best | 02:25 |

| NewNoobFriend | Hello Hello ladies and gentleman, how is everybody doing this evening/morning ! | 02:26 |
| plongshot | Ok, so I boot into bios then unplug and the laptop dies. I guess this means my battery is trash? But I don't understand why the power information would say it's "fully-charged" though. | 02:26 |
| plongshot | pragmaticenigma: ^ | 02:26 |
| plongshot | And does a battery suddenly die like that with no indiacation that it is failing? | 02:27 |
| NewNoobFriend | Would any of you be kind enough to helpa New noob whenever there is vulkan driver for R5 M430 on Linux? | 02:27 |
| eraserpencil | Whats normally recommended? downloading from repo or building from source | 02:27 |
| pragmaticenigma | plongshot, it is entirely possible, the system does a best guess based on the battery controller. I suspect the battery may have an internal short | 02:28 |
| plongshot | hmm | 02:29 |
| plongshot | ok | 02:29 |
| pragmaticenigma | eraserpencil, downloading from repos is supported in this channel. building from source isn't something we can support since there are so many options to how you build an application | 02:29 |
| plongshot | Maybe my electician friend knows a way to test the battery (with his meter or something). It's cool tho. Thanks pragmaticenigma | 02:29 |
| eraserpencil | but repos would normally be of an older version as compared as building from source? | 02:30 |
| pragmaticenigma | eraserpencil, in some cases yes... because those versions are stable and well tested | 02:31 |

| pragmaticenigma | eraserpencil, versioning in linux doesn't work like versioning in Mac/Windows. Versions in Linux actually refer to specific changes. the first number changing means it's almost entirely a new application. the second number means some features are added or removed, the third number is usually patches and bug fixes | 02:32 |

| syb0rg | Hi, I'm having a problem when trying to install ubuntu (Xubuntu actually, I had the same issue trying to install Lubuntu so it appears to be an Ubuntu problem). I am using encrypted / and /home partitions set up through the installer, and when I proceed from the partitioning step I get the error: "The attempt to mount a filesystem with type Ext4 in Encrypted volume (mmcblk0p3_crypt) at / failed. | 02:39 |
| syb0rg | I suppose the next step is to try again with manual partitioning, unless someone knows how to make the installer work. | 02:40 |
| syb0rg | manual as in, manual set up of encrypted partitions that is | 02:41 |
| syb0rg | anyway I'm going afk for a couple of minutes, if you have ideas or troubleshooting questions please shoot | 02:41 |

| === cifs is now known as kevr | ||
| syb0rg | ruby32, I tried Lubuntu first, lol | 03:05 |
| syb0rg | and then xubuntu. The machine I'm installing on would be a poor candidate for gnome/unity | 03:06 |
| syb0rg | (Acer Aspire 1, which is an amazing deal despite terrible storage and limited memory) | 03:07 |
| ruby32 | did you try Lubuntu 16? | 03:07 |
| ruby32 | i only had this error with 17 | 03:07 |
| syb0rg | no ruby32, only 17 | 03:08 |
| syb0rg | I guess I could tried going back to 16.04, maybe I will give it a shot | 03:08 |
| guiverc | syb0rg: you could always use Ubuntu to install it, then add lubuntu-desktop/xubuntu-desktop (or just LXDE or XFCE...) it's my normal path - you select which you use at login... there are drawbacks to that (multiple apps do same thing, you need to recall leafpad is fastest for lxde etc) | 03:08 |
| ruby32 | syb0rg yeah i would try installing Lubuntu 16 first then go with guiverc route if that doesn't work | 03:09 |
| syb0rg | good point guiverc | 03:09 |
| ruby32 | depends if you care more about being up-to-date or having additional software/complexity with your install | 03:09 |
| syb0rg | well given that the Aspire 1 has *ahem* 32 glorious gigabytes of internal storage, limiting unneeded software on my root partition is a good thing =P | 03:11 |
| syb0rg | but I can always install first, pare it down later | 03:11 |
| ruby32 | i think i have the same laptop | 03:12 |
| syb0rg | hehe nice, it seems like a decent machine so long as you can work around the storage problem | 03:12 |

| guiverc | gorgolath: to me your question is offtopic. we can only answer Ubuntu here (Ubuntu is very stable) but the few updates requirement brings to mind another something that is is offtopic here... I'd recommend another room, #ubuntu-offtopic, #ubuntu-discuss etc (this is a support room too, & zorin isn't ubuntu...) | 06:17 |

| guiverc | gorgolath: already answered - zorin is not ubuntu, and is offtopic here. | 06:19 |
| gorgolath | ZORIN IS DERIVATIVE OF UBUNTU or at least you could have told me that ZORIN is no good and UBUNTU IS BETTER | 06:23 |
| guiverc | gorgolath: my assumption is you already knew that. derivatives make changes that may have some minor benefits in one area, but regress other areas which is why they aren't supported here. many things ubuntu will have no issues with, do have issues on derivatives... | 06:27 |

| yogurt99 | I killed everything in TTY1 and the screen just freezes on waht it was at boot | 07:46 |
| yogurt99 | I figured out I could do systemctl start getty@tty1.service to get a console and then startx to get it back | 07:47 |
| yogurt99 | I'm guessing that on TTY1 it goes straight to a Display Manager on boot, rather than a console, so when I kill all processes it goes to the last place it was at when it started the display manager... | 07:47 |

| patrick_ | Does anyone know of a command line app that fetches id3 tag info from cddb or equivalent? | 08:48 |
| kunde01 | patrick_, id3tag ? | 08:48 |
| patrick_ | kunde01: Artist, album, track etc | 08:49 |
| ledeni | patrick_, try 'play' | 08:52 |
| patrick_ | ledeni: Its not in the repos, would you happen to have a link | 08:54 |
| tomreyn | !info sox | 08:55 |
| ubottu | sox (source: sox): Swiss army knife of sound processing. In component universe, is optional. Version 14.4.1-5build1 (artful), package size 96 kB, installed size 198 kB | 08:55 |
| tomreyn | sox contains /usr/bin/play (but i do not know whether that handled id3tags) | 08:55 |
| patrick_ | tomreyn: was that for me? | 08:56 |
| tomreyn | patrick_: yes, and a bit to ledeni, too | 08:56 |
| patrick_ | sox does not mention audio id3 tag identification | 08:56 |
| tomreyn | sox contains like 30 binaries, its description wont describe them all | 08:57 |
| patrick_ | tomreyn: Oh I see | 08:57 |
| patrick_ | Sounds interesting actually | 08:57 |
| patrick_ | Wow! down the rabbit hole I go... | 09:00 |
| mjayk | Haya all I have my laptop hooked up to a 4k dell monitor via hdmi and stuff looks just kinda fuzzy (not as sharp as on my 1080 laptop screen) any ideas? | 09:05 |
| tomreyn | mjayk: depending on your graphics card, you may need to use proprietary drivers for this to work better. | 09:08 |
| tomreyn | lspci -nn | grep VGA | 09:08 |
| mjayk | tomreyn: its intel | 09:09 |
| tomreyn | mjayk: which ubuntu release? lsb_release -ds which kernel version? cat /proc/version | 09:10 |
| tomreyn | mjayk: which ubuntu release ("lsb_release -ds")? which kernel version ("cat /proc/version")? | 09:10 |
| tomreyn | mjayk: also: lscpu | grep '^Model name:' | 09:13 |
| am_ex | I have a problem on all versions of Ubuntu with my wireless mouses and keyboards (sometimes GUI-interface too) it's freezing when I copying some files trough USB 3.0 (not tr 2.0), where can I read about this problem and how can I solve it? | 09:16 |
| am_ex | Thanks | 09:16 |
| tomreyn | am_ex: i'd start by looking at the kernel ring buffer logs, using: "dmesg -T". you can post those online by using "dmesg -T | nc termbin.com 9999" (and posting the resulting http address here) | 09:20 |
| am_ex | Ok | 09:20 |
| tomreyn | am_ex: you should also try this with a newer kernel version, if available, and maybe a newer ubuntu release (such as using a live iso) | 09:20 |
| am_ex | Do I must run this command while copying the data? | 09:21 |
| am_ex | tomreyn, new kernels, ok, which versions? | 09:21 |
| tomreyn | you can run either command at any time, there is no race condition | 09:21 |
| tomreyn | it would be useful to know which ubuntu release and kernel version you're currently using. "lsb_release -ds; cat /proc/version" | 09:22 |
| tomreyn | but start witht he second dmesg command | 09:22 |
| tomreyn | am_ex: since you also asked this in #ubuntu+1 - if this is an 18.04 pre-release, let's talk there instead. | 09:26 |
| am_ex | tomreyn, am@am-ws:~$ uname -a => Linux am-ws 4.15.0-15-generic #16-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 4 13:58:14 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 09:28 |
| tomreyn | am_ex: thanks for providing the output of a command i didnt ask for while not providing the output for three commands i asked for. | 09:29 |
| tomreyn | ah, you did, elsewhere. ok, switching to +q | 09:30 |

| NeonLight118 | it's my first time using this | 09:35 |
| vlt | NeonLight118: Welcome! | 09:37 |
| guiverc | Welcome NeonLight118 , this is a Ubuntu support room, so if you have a Ubuntu support question please ask it (ideally in a single line). If someone knows the answer they'll reply (please be patient, people do other things too) | 09:37 |
| NeonLight118 | what is the diffrence between this and askubuntu.com ? | 09:38 |
| Ben64 | this is real time | 09:39 |
| am_ex | NeonLight118, on this channel you can chat online and postquestions and get answers more quickly | 09:39 |
| vlt | NeonLight118: This is an IRC channel, the other a website. | 09:39 |
| guiverc | NeonLight118: this is people who can walk you thru right now, askubu is a ask & come-back later site. its whichever you prefer (i use askubu too) | 09:39 |
| am_ex | guiverc, agree | 09:39 |
| NeonLight118 | oh, well thank you for clarification | 09:40 |
| NeonLight118 | I will give this thing a try. quite often I loose internet connection, quick fix is to just reconnect but I'm trying to find a more perminant solution | 09:47 |

| francisv | How do I install texinfo documentation in Ubuntu? I would like to have GNU make documentation https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html in Texinfo. | 10:31 |
| w4|k3r | francisv: Which version of ubuntu are you using? | 10:32 |
| mdm_ | Hello guys | 10:32 |
| francisv | w4|k3r: 17.10 | 10:32 |
| w4|k3r | francisv: Is sudo apt install not working? | 10:32 |
| francisv | w4|k3r: what should be the name of the file? | 10:32 |
| francisv | I mean, I have make | 10:32 |
| francisv | it works fine | 10:32 |
| francisv | but no texinfo files | 10:32 |
| mdm_ | can i upgrade from 17.10 to 18.04 ? xubuntu ? | 10:32 |
| francisv | or well, better say, the info is not hte same as the page I sent | 10:33 |
| w4|k3r | francisv: Checking | 10:33 |

| alfuadi | what is the best software for programming for beginner to make website | 10:33 |
| alfuadi | ? | 10:33 |
| francisv | if I do, `info make', a different document comes. I would like to have https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html in Texinfo | 10:34 |
| francisv | In example, I have https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/automake.html in Texinfo | 10:36 |
| francisv | I would like to install the documentation of make in Texinfo as well | 10:36 |
| nikitha | i'm bipolar and wont stand on single word or decision for long time.i download pics/videos.i delete them and again urge of doing so happends everytime in my mind. | 10:37 |
| nikitha | In case i do collect download erotic stuff where i should put in online drive ? instead doing that,is it not good to store "link of the content" rather than content itself.....call by reference (of online) but not call by value (on premesis), pointers POV of c langauge.despite content moves away , but atleast 20% remains avaibale atleast out of 100, what do u say ?

| mdm_ | hi | 10:38 |
| SlidingHorn | mdm_: howdy...what can we try to help you with? | 10:39 |
| francisv | Probably a better formulated question is: Anyone knows how to install Texinfo documentation for GNU make in Ubuntu 17.10? | 10:40 |
| w4|k3r | rollingubuntu: What warnings are you talking about? | 10:40 |
| mdm_ | hm | 10:40 |
| mdm_ | i asked before how can i upgrade from 17.10 to 18.04 xubuntu | 10:41 |
| rollingubuntu | w4|k3r: the ubuntu wiki page you sent me, on the April section, every entry has a funny face like sign in front, if you hover over it will read "Warning" | 10:42 |
| guiverc | mdm_, 18.04 isn't strictly supported here until its release next thursday. it's probably why no-one answered. my box is doing what you want right now, but it's offtopic in this channel. | 10:43 |

| francisv | Is there a repository to easily install GNU Texinfo documentation in Ubuntu 17.10? The documentation I refer to is: https://www.gnu.org/manual/manual.html | 10:56 |
| slow | hello everybody | 11:00 |
| slow | is ti possible to go from 18.04 beta 2 version to the new freeze? | 11:00 |
| tomreyn | francisv: just run "info" providing the package whose documentation you wish to read as an argument | 11:01 |
| ducasse | slow: just update, but 18.04 support is in #ubuntu+1 | 11:02 |

| tomflint | is there a way to have caffeine activated on boot? | 11:02 |
| francisv | tomreyn: The answer to make questions was 'sudo apt install make-doc' | 11:03 |

| vlt | Hello. I installed gphoto2 on Ubuntu 16.04. What tools are there to show fullscreen live video with low latency from my Canon DSLR? | 11:48 |
| vlt | I know darktable's preview but that's not fullscreen, I tried entangle but can't control camera settings while running in full screen mode, and I tried gphoto2's --stdout mode piped into ffplay with a much, much higher delay than the previously mentioned tools. | 11:49 |
| Guest62068 | I'm having problems booting the new kernel, 4.13.0-38 on my laptop. Jumping back to 4.13.0-37 seems to work, but 4.13.0-38 just freezes. Anyone know how I debug this? | 11:49 |
| vlt | Any idea what I could use? | 11:49 |
| brainwash | Guest62068: I would test -39 which is in -proposed | 11:50 |
| Guest62068 | brainwash: Hmm. Couldn't that potentially break a whole lot of other dependencies? | 11:51 |

| Guest62068 | ioria: I removed it. I'll try reinstalling. Hold on | 11:53 |

| ioria | Guest62068, maybe a micro-code issue : dmesg | grep -i Microcode | 11:55 |
| Guest62068 | ioria: problem is, it freezes during boot. So I'm not able to check anything until i've rebooted | 11:57 |

| paddy | Help! I mounted a dmg file onto my hdd and it wiped the whole drive. 256mg is the dmg partition and the rest of the 5tb is now "free space" how do I get my hdd back to normal/revcover files? | 12:11 |
| somebody | paddy: I have no idea, but seemingly it is hard to rescue data on ext3/ext4 | 12:14 |
| paddy | the external hdd was ntfs | 12:15 |
| Cheez | data recovery on ntfs is expensive. | 12:18 |
| Cheez | getdataback for ntfs kind of works. | 12:18 |
| Cheez | who knows, the partition may be there still, have you looked in something like parted? or testdisk? | 12:19 |
| paddy | no, pretty new to linux. | 12:19 |
| === bhalithan1 is now known as bhalithan | ||
| Cheez | testdisk is all platforms, iirc. getdataback is a windows app for ntfs recovery | 12:20 |
| paddy | it seems like only 256mg is being used by the dmg mount and the rest says "free space" in disks | 12:20 |
| Cheez | i'd be ready to use your disaster recovery options though | 12:20 |
| Cheez | ie restore from backups | 12:20 |
| ducasse | Cheez: what do you mean you mounted it on your hdd? mounting does not erase data. | 12:21 |
| paddy | I just want to make sure that I've diagnosed the problem right first | 12:21 |
| paddy | yeah. | 12:21 |
| paddy | so | 12:21 |
| Cheez | ducasse: paddy, not me :) | 12:21 |
| ducasse | sorry :) | 12:22 |
| paddy | I had a dmg file used dmg2img and mounted it, I think it was a mac dmg because it said which drive would you want put this on (I think it said mount) | 12:22 |
| paddy | I chose my external hdd and now when I plug it in the only thing that shows up is HFS+ partition | 12:23 |
| ducasse | then you overwrote it, you did not mount it. it's important to be clear here. | 12:23 |
| ducasse | !recover | 12:23 |
| ubottu | Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery | 12:23 |
| paddy | okay, wasn't sure what I did | 12:24 |
| paddy | so i did overwrite it? | 12:24 |
| ducasse | i would think so, from your description | 12:24 |
| ioria | paddy, if the system is ko , you need a livecd; mount the partition and check | 12:25 |
| paddy | ko? | 12:25 |
| JimBuntu | Knocked Out? as in not working? | 12:25 |
| ioria | yes | 12:26 |
| paddy | okay, what about testdisk? | 12:26 |
| ioria | paddy, yes, it's an option | 12:26 |
| paddy | the full 5tb appears in test disk. (I think this means it's mounted?) | 12:26 |
| ambrz | hi! | 12:27 |
| paddy | If disks is saying "free space" should I pick [none] as the partition table type? | 12:33 |
| JimBuntu | paddy, I can't wlk you through this whole process, but I would like to make a suggestion... 1) Do you have 10TB of free space elsewhere? | 12:38 |
| paddy | nah, no 10gb, using my brother's laptop with windows and using getdataback | 12:39 |
| paddy | looks alright atm | 12:39 |
| paddy | thanks thoughj | 12:39 |
| JimBuntu | Well, I was going to suggest you make an image of that 5TB drive, so that you couldn't risk losing any more of the data... then only work with the image in your data recovery. Glad to hear it looks like you are alright atm. | 12:40 |
| paddy | Thanks everyone! think I might have it back. | 12:42 |
| paddy | The thing now is that it's in two partitions HFS (primary) and NTFS (4.55tb) | 12:42 |
| JimBuntu | And do you see any of your old data in the NTFS partition? | 12:43 |
| paddy | yes, pretty much everything | 12:43 |

| freakynl | It does come up thus, but the script has an error, /run/network/ifstate.ens192 is empty. Configuration has worked fine for a long time, started exhibiting this a while ago. | 13:37 |

| markus_ | i tried to reset the plymouth theme so now i get ubuntu spash screen on shutdown but not on boot up | 14:31 |
| SlidingHorn | markus_: sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth that will give you a list of screens to choose from | 14:31 |
| markus_ | slidinghorn: i did that and chose /usr/share/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-logo/ubuntu-logo.plymouth | 14:32 |
| markus_ | so now i get ubuntu spash screen on shutdown but not on boot up | 14:33 |

| jnewt | pragmaticenigma, i have the Install updates from: Unsupported updates (xenial-backports) checked. I also have the ppa for golang (http://ppa.launchpad.net/longsleep/golang-backports/ubuntu xenial main) selected under Other Software and apt shows go needs to be updated. why is it getting skipped? | 14:40 |
| SlidingHorn | markus_: do the update-alternatives again (just in case) and then sudo update-intramfs -u | 14:40 |
| markus_ | i have done 5-6 times choosing different thmes each time but every time shut down screen changes but not the boot up screen | 14:41 |
| jnewt | pragmaticenigma, actually apt has it listed (golang-go and golang-race-detector runtime and golang-src) under "The following packages have been kept back" . Maybe there's a setting specific to that (altho ther are several others in both the "will be kept back" and the "will be upgraded" sections | 14:42 |
| SlidingHorn | markus_: did you do the update-intramfs -u command? | 14:42 |
| markus_ | i am trying to do it for an hour or so , tried different commands to remove gnome,reinstall unity but nothing worked | 14:42 |
| dprk | what desktop eniverment is best for touch screen? | 14:43 |
| markus_ | yes i used update-intramfs -u and then rebooted each time to see the effect | 14:43 |
| dprk | i got a acer switch. i can take of keybord and use it as an "ipad" | 14:44 |
| dprk | running windows 10 on it now | 14:44 |

| tomreyn | oh right, i heard about this before. | 15:10 |

| Giant81 | though it may not be ubuntu related, it could be the way they created the qemu image | 15:11 |
| jnewt | pragmaticenigma, ok, lets assume that one of those things is occurring (dependency change, dependency not met, user intervention required or conflict). Where do I see the reason for a specific package not being updated automatically? | 15:12 |
| tomreyn | Giant81: does apt-cache search find it, apt-cache policy list it? | 15:12 |
| === oxo1o1o1o_ is now known as oxo1o1o1o | ||
| Giant81 | no it doesn't I tried an 'apt-cache search etherwake' and got nothing | 15:12 |

| Giant81 | though chacnes are it's because I'm at work | 15:17 |
| Giant81 | genii, cant' install anything I don't think... hehe | 15:18 |
| Giant81 | so I think all my problem are network related | 15:18 |
| tomreyn | Giant81: it is all of them | 15:18 |
| Giant81 | I can't update the package list because I can't get out, and I can't install anything until I update the package list | 15:18 |
| tomreyn | correct | 15:19 |
| Giant81 | I can ping out just fine, I just think the FW is blocking apt-get | 15:19 |

| genii | Yeah, looks like you're going to have to the process when you're not on a locked down network | 15:19 |
| tomreyn | could try https instead | 15:19 |
| Giant81 | or just throw something at infosec and have them unblock me for a bit so I can get an update | 15:19 |
| Giant81 | do you just put https in the sources.list? | 15:19 |

| Sadegh | ntd i have a error : 20 Apr 15:47:05 ntpdate[7147]: the NTP socket is in use, exiting | 15:48 |

| kruug | leftyfb: because when I install the .deb file I'm installing, it says it can't install due to unmet dependencies, and when I go to `sudo apt upgrade` it tells me that's the dependency. | 15:53 |
| theGoat | 123 is ntp | 15:53 |
| NotLim | 123 ? | 15:53 |
| theGoat | udp that is | 15:53 |
| kruug | leftyfb: yup, that was it...Universe wasn't enabled. | 15:53 |
| tomreyn | Sadegh: why are you trying to manually set your system time, if i may ask? | 15:53 |
| kruug | ... | 15:54 |
| kruug | `--fix-broken-install is not understood` | 15:54 |
| tomreyn | Sadegh: is ti because the current time is wrong, or because you are trying to (temporarily?) set an incorrect time on purpose? | 15:54 |
| kruug | `sudo apt --fix-broken-install` | 15:54 |
| SlidingHorn | kruug: if you're trying to install the deb after it had unresolved dependencies, you need to dpkg -r appname first then dpkg -i file.deb | 15:55 |
| kruug | why doesn't ubuntu come with VIM preinstalled? | 16:03 |
| SlidingHorn | kruug: presumably because nano is installed by default and it's easier to use for newer folks - easy to grab from the repos though :) | 16:04 |

| imbezol | hello. just installed ubuntu 17.10 server. it assumes a dhcp config but i would like to configure it static. tried /etc/network/interfaces but found it doesn't respect it. read up on systemd-netowrkd and created a .network file for the interface, but it's not respecting that either. can someone point me at some documentation on how to configure a static address? | 16:13 |

| SlidingHorn | That_Guy_Anon: so what *does* happen when you log in? | 16:24 |
| That_Guy_Anon | SlidingHorn, she logs in but nothing loads, just the blank background | 16:24 |
| SlidingHorn | That_Guy_Anon: any errors in ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.1.log or /var/log/Xorg.*.log | 16:27 |

| That_Guy_Anon | 16.04 just normal ubuntu. | 16:27 |
| ImageJPEG | So I've setup a nas with 16.04 (server obviously) and it doesn't seem to be taking the v6 address on eno1. I'm able to dual stack on eno2. Another thing, I can't ping the v4 address on eno1. I'll post the interfaces file | 16:28 |
| ImageJPEG | https://ghostbin.com/paste/oyqoe | 16:28 |
| ImageJPEG | I don't understand why the networking file has to be this complicated. Especially when compared to OpenBSD. | 16:29 |
| leftyfb | that's not complicated | 16:30 |
| leftyfb | that looks like the exact amount of information you need for interfaces | 16:30 |
| ImageJPEG | Well eno1 is having issues :/ | 16:30 |
| ImageJPEG | It's not taking the v6 address and I can't ping the v4 address from other machines | 16:31 |
| ImageJPEG | This is literally the OpenBSD file for a specific interface: | 16:32 |
| ImageJPEG | https://ghostbin.com/paste/oyqoe | 16:32 |
| ImageJPEG | damnit | 16:32 |
| ImageJPEG | hold on | 16:32 |
| leftyfb | ImageJPEG: since I have no experience with ipv6, I would disable that interface and start troubleshooting eno1's ipv4 | 16:32 |
| ImageJPEG | inet 10.0.0.3 255.255.255.0 | 16:32 |

| eriksays | anyone familiar with bash? I have a bash script that restarts a service if it stops running — but it’s only ‘working’ if I run it in the directory the script is located in: https://pastebin.com/1YTPPFE4 | 16:33 |
| ImageJPEG | And no matter what, I can't seem to reset the network interface. I also have to keep restarting the machine for the network settings to take affect. | 16:33 |
| StrangeNoises | trick with ipv6 is to get a router that does it right, then everything works automatically at the client and you should't have to touch it | 16:33 |
| ImageJPEG | I'd rather use a v6 address I give to it. I have an OpenBSD v6 router (v4/v6 HE tunnel) | 16:34 |
| mancman3 | ImageJPEG: for changes to take affect just run sudo systemctl restart network-manager.service instead of rebooting | 16:34 |
| That_Guy_Anon | SlidingHorn, we ended up just installing gnome :D | 16:35 |
| ImageJPEG | I've done that before and it either locks me out and I can't ssh into it or I receive an error, but I suppose I'll try again | 16:35 |
| That_Guy_Anon | SlidingHorn, thanks for the help anyway | 16:35 |

| ramsub07 | Hi, i want to create a directory in /data/eHd/. i use sudo to create, so it's also owned by root. I want to transfer to a particular user (who's sudoer) and make it readable and writable only to him. how to go about? | 16:44 |
| SlidingHorn | ramsub07: why not just create it in their home directory? | 16:45 |
| ramsub07 | it's SSD in home directory, which has space constraint | 16:46 |
| ramsub07 | in /data/eHD it's HDD, has ampful data | 16:46 |
| Gargravarr | ramsub07: chown -R <username>:<group> /data/eHD | 16:46 |
| SlidingHorn | ramsub07: why would you have loaded the /home/ partition on the smaller SSD and the / partition on the larger HDD? | 16:47 |
| Gargravarr | SlidingHorn: sounds like he has the boot disk on the SSD, and the HDD is external | 16:47 |
| ramsub07 | because SSD is faster to load OS? | 16:47 |
| ramsub07 | isn't that standard ? or uncommon? | 16:47 |
| Gargravarr | ramsub07: yes, that's pretty standard practise | 16:47 |
| SlidingHorn | ramsub07: you'd want your / partition on the SSD then | 16:47 |
| leftyfb | ramsub07: you could mount the drive in the users home directory | 16:48 |
| leftyfb | ramsub07: if you need it mounted in 2 places, you could bind mount one of them | 16:49 |
| Gargravarr | leftyfb: the permissions will have to be set manually by root wherever he mounts it | 16:49 |
| leftyfb | yup | 16:49 |
| leftyfb | step #1 though | 16:49 |
| leftyfb | if it is only used for the user, mount it appropriately | 16:49 |
| Gargravarr | ah, i missed 'only' | 16:50 |
| leftyfb | and in that case, mount it with the users permissions | 16:50 |
| Gargravarr | yeah, that way is cleaner for multiple mounts and unmounts | 16:51 |

| Gargravarr | ah, looks like an embedded distro, may not be Debian-based | 16:55 |
| nacc | ImageJPEG: /var/log/messages doesn't exist in some cases | 16:55 |

| Gargravarr | yeah, not meant in a nasty way | 16:56 |
| leftyfb | ImageJPEG: /var/log/syslog | 16:56 |
| leftyfb | ImageJPEG: if you're looking for auth, it's auth.log | 16:56 |
| nacc | ImageJPEG: as leftyfb said, syslog is where messages goes nowadays | 16:56 |
| ImageJPEG | I do have syslog | 16:56 |
| ImageJPEG | I'm trying to find why eno1 doesn't work | 16:56 |
| Gargravarr | huh, i had no idea /var/log/messages had been deprecated, it's gone from my Ubuntu laptop too | 16:57 |
| leftyfb | it's been gone for years | 16:57 |
| Gargravarr | ImageJPEG: try ifconfig en01 down/up rather than ifdown/up | 16:57 |
| leftyfb | at least 3 or 4 years, longer I think | 16:57 |
| Gargravarr | the ifdown/up wrapper scripts have often failed for me | 16:57 |

| ImageJPEG | This doesn't make any freaking sense | 17:01 |
| Gargravarr | eriksays: rather than using a bash script, you might want to look into either supervisord (for small use cases) or writing it as a systemd service. both are capable of restarting a service if it suddenly stops | 17:01 |
| SlidingHorn | Anthaas: If you provide it a TLS-enabled address, it should use that | 17:01 |
| Gargravarr | Anthaas: ^ as SlidingHorn says, wget should error out if it cannot start an SSL connection. it won't 'fall back' to HTTP by default | 17:02 |
| Anthaas | So, as long as my URL is "https://....." Im fine? | 17:02 |
| Gargravarr | yep | 17:02 |

| Chryzo | Good morning, my ubuntu desktop refuses to resolves my internal servers if i use the FQDN. Any pointers? | 17:03 |
| ImageJPEG | check your dns server? | 17:03 |
| leftyfb | Chryzo: what DNS server is your ubuntu desktop using? | 17:03 |
| Gargravarr | DanniBetts: not that i'm aware of. you could swap in Nautilus or another file manager instead, many of them don't have the 'permanently delete' option in the right-click menu | 17:03 |
| Chryzo | The ones from the network, the same as the windows machines :) | 17:04 |
| leftyfb | Chryzo: how did you confirm that? | 17:04 |
| Gargravarr | Chryzo: from the command line, try 'nslookup <your FQDN> <IP of your DNS server>' | 17:04 |
| Chryzo | cat /etc/resolv.conf | 17:04 |
| Chryzo | nslookup resolves properly | 17:05 |
| Gargravarr | interesting, resolv.conf shouldn't point to external DNS in current distros. did you modify it yourself? | 17:05 |
| leftyfb | Chryzo: you've got multiple nameservers specified? Do all of these nameservers have the ability to lookup local hostnames? | 17:05 |
| Chryzo | Gargravarr, i modified it from the default of 127.0.0.1 to the DNS servers internal to the environment. | 17:06 |
| leftyfb | Chryzo: having multiple DNS servers specified, especially if 1 is local and the other is public will cause problems when looking up local hosts | 17:06 |
| Chryzo | Yes, all configured dns servers can resolve the internal domain | 17:06 |
| Chryzo | And all configured DNS are internal | 17:06 |
| leftyfb | Chryzo: try: host <hostname> <dns server ip> | 17:07 |
| Chryzo | All my ubuntu server work fine with that config. But for some reason the desktop i just installed does not. The main difference is that that one is on dhcp... | 17:07 |
| Gargravarr | Chryzo: same Ubuntu version on both? or are the servers older/not using systemd? | 17:07 |
| Chryzo | all on 16.04 | 17:07 |
| Chryzo | even my centos servers work properly too | 17:08 |
| leftyfb | Chryzo: try: host <hostname> <dns server ip> | 17:08 |
| Chryzo | host servername dnsIP resolves properly | 17:08 |
| leftyfb | ok, now without dnsIP | 17:08 |
| === Peetz1r is now known as Peetz0r | ||
| Chryzo | host desktopname dnsIP fails horribly but that is normal :) the linux box is not in the DNS | 17:08 |
| Chryzo | host hostname and host fqdn work | 17:09 |
| leftyfb | ok, so what's the problem then? | 17:09 |
| Chryzo | ping hostname works ping fqdn fails | 17:10 |
| Gargravarr | last thing (from me) to try, systemd-resolve <hostname> | 17:10 |
| Chryzo | and because ping fqdn fails, ... my connection to the ldap server fails | 17:10 |
| leftyfb | Chryzo: got an entry in /etc/hosts ? | 17:10 |
| ImageJPEG | wtf, I'm telling avahi-daemon to stop and systemctl still reports it as running | 17:10 |
| Chryzo | systemd works with hostname and fqdn | 17:10 |
| Gargravarr | ImageJPEG: time to bring out the kill-9 shotgun | 17:11 |
| Chryzo | leftyfb, only entries i have are the localhost, desktopname and the default ipv6 ones | 17:11 |
| leftyfb | Chryzo: nmcli device show|grep DNS | 17:11 |
| ImageJPEG | nope, systemd keeps restarting it | 17:12 |
| Chryzo | shows all my internal DNS (one more than what I have in the resolv.conf file) | 17:12 |
| ImageJPEG | Everytime I kill -9 it, systemd shows a new pid for it | 17:12 |
| leftyfb | Chryzo: all should be able to lookup the local hostname? | 17:12 |
| leftyfb | Chryzo: is it only ping that fails? host seems to work, as does systemd | 17:12 |
| Chryzo | ping and the ldap client | 17:13 |
| Chryzo | and ldapsearch | 17:13 |
| Gargravarr | that's bizarre, i could understand the FQDN working and short name not, but not the inverse | 17:13 |
| Gargravarr | i assume because you can't use the FQDN, SSL is failing | 17:13 |
| ImageJPEG | There, I renamed avahi-daemon to avahi-daemon.dumbfuck and now systemd can't turn it on lol | 17:14 |
| Chryzo | i could understand fqdn not working if by mistake the system was adding the default search domain by mistake. But since ping www.google.com works... | 17:14 |
| Gargravarr | ImageJPEG: playing whack-a-mole? :) | 17:14 |
| ImageJPEG | pretty much | 17:14 |
| Chryzo | Gargravarr, well, SSL fails if I use the ldap server name because the CN does not match the cert. But if I use the fqdn, it actually fails to connect completely | 17:14 |
| ImageJPEG | systemd really want's that avahi-daemon turned on no matter what | 17:15 |
| Chryzo | telnet hostname works telnet fqdn fails | 17:15 |
| Gargravarr | Chryzo: that's what i thought | 17:15 |
| Chryzo | telnet: could not resolve fqdn/389: Name or service not known | 17:15 |
| leftyfb | Chryzo: can you try using host on all of your DNS server ip's? | 17:15 |
| Gargravarr | hang on a minute, are things like ping and telnet actually resolving? | 17:15 |
| leftyfb | no | 17:15 |
| ImageJPEG | I'd really love to know why eno1 is not wanting to pick up the address I'm trying to give to it | 17:16 |
| Chryzo | hmmm, do you know the equivalent of host on a windows box hahaha ? | 17:16 |
| Chryzo | Gargravarr, ping and telnet resolve hostname. But they fail at hostname.domain.com | 17:16 |
| leftyfb | Chryzo: we're troubleshooting ubuntu, not windows | 17:16 |
| Gargravarr | ImageJPEG: would it surprise you that systemd and avahi were written by the same person? | 17:16 |
| ImageJPEG | No lol | 17:16 |
| ImageJPEG | I hate systemd | 17:16 |
| Chryzo | leftyfb, my issue is an ubuntu desktop. My DNS servers are windows boxes | 17:17 |
| Gargravarr | Chryzo: right. just had the idea that your DNS was somehow returning a different IP and the utilities were trying to connect to something that wasn't there | 17:17 |
| ImageJPEG | The only reason why I'm using Ubuntu is because on my VM host, I can use lxc containers, otherwise, I'd used FreeBSD/OpenBSD for everything just to get as far away from systemd as possible | 17:17 |
| leftyfb | Chryzo: ok, run "host <server.fqdn> <nameserver>" for all of your nameservers on your ubuntu host | 17:18 |
| ImageJPEG | Plus, on my nas, samba and netatalk seem to be better supported | 17:18 |
| ImageJPEG | with Ubuntu | 17:18 |
| leftyfb | ImageJPEG: please stay on topic | 17:18 |
| Chryzo | leftyfb, they all resolve to the proper IP | 17:19 |

| anchnk | I tried almost every answers from Stack Overflow without any success | 17:20 |
| anchnk | Ubuntu LTS | 17:20 |
| leftyfb | anchnk: export DISPLAY=:0 | 17:20 |
| anchnk | leftyfb would you place that in the script or in the crontab line ? | 17:21 |
| leftyfb | anchnk: either should work | 17:21 |
| anchnk | let me try | 17:21 |
| anchnk | added * * * * * export DISPLAY=:0 notify-send 'test' 'this is a test' using crontab -e but no luck | 17:23 |
| leftyfb | anchnk: probably make more sense to put it in your script | 17:24 |
| Gargravarr | iirc, cron resets the path? | 17:24 |
| Gargravarr | might need to set the full path to notify-send | 17:24 |
| anchnk | I think I already tried that too but I am going to give it another try | 17:25 |
| Gargravarr | you definitely need the DISPLAY variable setting | 17:25 |
| anchnk | if I do have 2 monitors plugged in does it change the value of DISPLAY ? | 17:25 |
| leftyfb | anchnk: you definitely need to put the full path | 17:25 |
| Gargravarr | anchnk: no, they both count as DISPLAY:0 | 17:26 |
| leftyfb | anchnk: also make sure this cron is your users cron. Not root | 17:26 |
| Gargravarr | yes, were you running crontab -e as yourself or as root? | 17:27 |
| anchnk | as myself | 17:27 |
| anchnk | no sudo | 17:27 |
| anchnk | crontab -l gives * * * * * /home/username/notify.sh | 17:27 |
| anchnk | notify.sh is just the export and /usr/bin/notify-send 'test' 'this is a test' on the line after | 17:28 |
| anchnk | does it works for you out of the box ? | 17:28 |
| eriksays | Gargravarr: thanks for the suggestion — will look into | 17:28 |
| kappa1 | How can I install the latest kernel on ubuntu ? | 17:35 |
| genii | !mainline | kappa1 | 17:36 |
| ubottu | kappa1: 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 | 17:36 |
| anchnk | ok so the script is triggered | 17:37 |
| anchnk | I wrote to a file to see if it was | 17:38 |
| anchnk | so the problem is with the notification | 17:38 |
| genii | kappa1: However, if you install one of these kernels, it may make it difficult to track down what part of the system is causing issues, when they happen. | 17:38 |
| anchnk | some ppl says it's related to DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS variable | 17:42 |
| Chryzo | so switching to fixed ip does not resolve the issue. Now could it be because windows and linux don't handle root domain .local the same way ? my fqdn is server.domain.local | 17:45 |
| kappa1 | thnaks | 17:47 |
| anchnk | ok so yeah it's related to he less of that env variable | 17:53 |

| ash_worksi | can I keep all my user files in place and reinstall ubuntu? | 18:15 |
| pragmaticenigma | ash_worksi, if your home directory is in a separate partition, they will not be touched. Otherwise, you can back up your home directory to an external drive. After installation, you can copy the contents back to the home directory, log out and log back in, and everything will have been restored. | 18:18 |
| ash_worksi | mkay, that's what I'm the process of doing right now | 18:19 |
| pragmaticenigma | ash_worksi, the only issue I have run into is when a configuration file is missing newer feature settings | 18:20 |
| ash_worksi | this sux | 18:23 |
| pragmaticenigma | ash_worksi, would need more details to know what we can do to help | 18:26 |
| ash_worksi | pragmaticenigma: I accidentally uninstalled python and everything that went with it | 18:27 |
| ash_worksi | now trying to reinstall missing components has thrown a bunch of errors | 18:27 |
| ash_worksi | likely because I had already reinstalled some things | 18:27 |
| ash_worksi | most of my apps work clunkily | 18:27 |
| ash_worksi | but the most furstrating of all is docker throws errors every so often | 18:28 |
| ash_worksi | (not all the time) | 18:28 |
| ash_worksi | waiting for stuff to copy is kind of painful >.< | 18:28 |
| pragmaticenigma | ash_worksi, yep, i can understand. I would wait for the copy to finish before doing anything else on your machine. hopefully the removal of python hasn't interferred too much with that process | 18:29 |
| ash_worksi | mildly concerned I have started this process without formatting and am just running cp -RL .. | 18:30 |
| brygphilomena | can't you install any missing dependencies (ie python) with apt-get install -f ? | 18:30 |
| pragmaticenigma | ash_worksi, with the back up method, when you install fresh, I'd recommend considering a partition mounted as /home. That way in the future, you can install fresh and still keep your home directory (during install you just tell the setup tool to reuse the /home partition.) | 18:30 |
| ash_worksi | which I am irritated about because when I ^C and then attempted to format and it said the drive was busy | 18:30 |
| ash_worksi | brygphilomena: no | 18:31 |
| ash_worksi | :P | 18:31 |
| ash_worksi | because i get errors | 18:31 |
| pragmaticenigma | ash_worksi, if rsync is stil functioning, that might be a better option for copying. As you can cancel and restart without starting over | 18:31 |

| ash_worksi | well, the drive is brand new, I just popped it in there; doesn't that need to be formatted correctly to be used with rsync anyway? | 18:33 |
| brygphilomena | womp womp. | 18:34 |

| brygphilomena | it's fix, i believe | 18:34 |

| Chryzo | I feel like this is very stupid, but how do I login via the GUI as a non local user ? I have the choice between my temporary account, a guest account and that is it | 18:35 |
| ash_worksi | Chryzo: like ssh? | 18:36 |
| ash_worksi | oh | 18:36 |
| ash_worksi | gui | 18:36 |
| teward | Chryzo: what do you mean by a 'non local user'? | 18:37 |
| ash_worksi | I don't know what you mean by non local user | 18:37 |
| Chryzo | An LDAP / Active Directory user | 18:37 |
| leftyfb | Chryzo: so every desktop should assume people at home have an LDAP server? | 18:37 |

| brygphilomena | https://askubuntu.com/questions/491511/14-04-desktop-ldap-login | 18:37 |
| Chryzo | leftyfb, no, but I configured SSSD, the machine is in the AD domain... now the question is how do I use the AD creds to logon. (I can kinit <user>) | 18:38 |
| brygphilomena | Looks like you have to configure it to let you | 18:38 |
| brygphilomena | sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-manlogin.conf | 18:38 |

| Chryzo | let's try that | 18:38 |
| leftyfb | Chryzo: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/sssd-ad.html | 18:39 |
| Chryzo | leftyfb, that is the one i used | 18:39 |
| leftyfb | Chryzo: and you didn't try the solution for "Desktop Ubuntu Authentication" at the very end of the page? | 18:40 |
| Chryzo | grrr typo | 18:40 |
| brygphilomena | leftyfb, I've missed sections like that so easy when reading. I can't hold it against him | 18:42 |
| CarlFK | what are the 2 sides of avahi called? so that I can better ask a question about one side not working | 18:43 |
| Anthaas | I have a file that has a character in it that doesn't load correctly. How can I rm it? | 18:43 |
| Anthaas | I can't copy/paste it, it doesn't work. | 18:43 |
| ash_worksi | why do I get cannot stat '...': No such file or directory during a cp -RL ? | 18:43 |
| ash_worksi | oh | 18:43 |
| CarlFK | Anthaas: file or fiilname? | 18:43 |
| Anthaas | And there are more than that one match up to the point of the illegal character | 18:43 |
| ash_worksi | cus the link does respove probably | 18:43 |
| === DrWatson_ is now known as DrWatson | ||
| ash_worksi | yes | 18:44 |
| Anthaas | CarlFK: It contains the phrase "or Destruction" | 18:44 |
| CarlFK | Anthaas: sounds like filename. are you at a prompt? hitting tab tab should give you a hint what to type next. | 18:44 |
| brygphilomena | Anthaas, can you type the first letter and hit tab until it chooses the file you want? | 18:44 |
| Anthaas | CarlFK: Oh it is, sorry. yeahm I am. If i hit tab repeatedly, it just shows me all possible matches. | 18:45 |
| CarlFK | Anthaas: it should show you the \foo escaped char whatever it is called. that, hit tab, might be all you need. | 18:45 |
| brygphilomena | i'd probably rename it | 18:46 |
| Anthaas | CarlFK: I am hitting tab, but it just shows me all possible matches - nothing gets added to the prompt. | 18:46 |
| Anthaas | brygphilomena: How, if you can't get the original name into the prompt? | 18:46 |
| Anthaas | (Im working from command line here btw) | 18:47 |
| CarlFK | Anthaas: you need to type more chars - look for your name in the list of matches to see what to type next | 18:47 |
| brygphilomena | use mv and then type as much as you can and hit tab to have it fill in the rest | 18:47 |
| CarlFK | brygphilomena: "special char" is blocking the "type as much..." bit | 18:48 |
| Chryzo | Darn: pam_succeed_if(lightdm:auth): requirement "user ingroup nopasswdlogin" not met by user | 18:48 |
| Anthaas | The file is named: De<INVALID CHAR> | 18:48 |
| Anthaas | There are many files beginning De | 18:48 |
| Anthaas | So hitting tab isn't working. | 18:48 |
| Anthaas | I cannot type <INVALID CHAR> | 18:49 |
| CarlFK | Anthaas: type \< | 18:49 |
| CarlFK | that's how you type a < | 18:49 |
| Anthaas | ... | 18:50 |
| Borw3 | Or how about puting name in a string '<whatever>' | 18:50 |
| Anthaas | It isn't literally <INVALID CHAR> | 18:50 |
| brygphilomena | try de\ and hit tab | 18:50 |
| Anthaas | Its �%81 | 18:50 |
| Borw3 | LOL | 18:50 |
| Anthaas | Or at least, that is how it is rendering for me... | 18:50 |
| CarlFK | Anthaas: if you can cut/paste that here, did you try pasting into the prompt? like ls -l �%81 | 18:51 |
| brygphilomena | is that what you see when you type ls? | 18:51 |
| Anthaas | Yes | 18:52 |
| Anthaas | and yes | 18:52 |
| Anthaas | As I said, copy/pasting doesn't work... | 18:52 |
| brygphilomena | try holding control and shift | 18:54 |
| brygphilomena | and type ufffd | 18:54 |
| rud0lf | i want to disable webcam (it works until reboot) with "echo "0" > /sys/bus/usb/devices/2-3/bConfigurationValue", and the web page suggest to add it to /etc/rc.local .. however, there is no such file, should i create it? or use something else? | 18:55 |
| rud0lf | it has to be run with root | 18:55 |
| Anthaas | Fixed it. | 18:56 |
| Anthaas | rm "$(ls De* | head -1)" | 18:56 |
| brygphilomena | yea? | 18:56 |
| brygphilomena | lol | 18:56 |
| ash_worksi | I have so much crap that is just copies of crap because I'm always paranoid I'm gonna loose something | 19:00 |
| ash_worksi | irnoically, I still loose stuff | 19:00 |
| brygphilomena | my problem is I go back to my documents and wonder why the hell I saved stuff | 19:01 |
| oerheks | pebkac, brygphilomena, not an ubuntu issue | 19:04 |
| ash_worksi | suppose, just suppose, that it takes a long time to cp 3 files in a dir... files A B and C | 19:08 |
| ash_worksi | whilst cp is copying B, can you ls -u the directory and see different atimes between B and C? | 19:08 |
| ash_worksi | was that too stupid of a question to deserve a response? | 19:16 |
| donofrio | ash_worksi, just lurk around for a few hours and someone will be around with a answer to your question | 19:17 |
| ash_worksi | I know, that was me kinda just poking | 19:18 |
| pragmaticenigma | ash_worksi, you can, however every time you call those functions it can delay the copy | 19:18 |
| ash_worksi | oic | 19:18 |
| ash_worksi | how about find -atime < now or something? | 19:18 |
| ash_worksi | will that delay a the cp? | 19:19 |
| ash_worksi | probably I would assme | 19:19 |
| ash_worksi | since I assume the delay comes from stating which find has to do to all files regardless of -atime | 19:19 |
| Scenick | Hello. I'd like to telnet BlackFlag BBS using RIPTel. Is there anything that would let me use it's RIP interface? Thanks | 19:28 |
| ubuntu_ftw | Hello, all. I just set up a manually partitioned encrypted xubuntu install. I had to create the encrypted partitions manually, or the installer failed. So at this point everything installed fine, but I cannot boot because the root partition cannot be mounted (booting drops me to a busybox shell) | 19:31 |
| ubuntu_ftw | how do I tell grub to mount my encrypted partitions? | 19:31 |
| ubuntu_ftw | If it helps, this is my partitioning scheme: https://imgur.com/a/bbk5FAs | 19:31 |
| ioria | ubuntu_ftw, you specified the /mount point ? | 19:36 |
| ubuntu_ftw | ioria: in the install you mean? If so, yes | 19:37 |
| ubuntu_ftw | *installer | 19:38 |
| ubuntu_ftw | I think grub only knows about the ext4 partition though, not the LUKS partition it is contained within | 19:38 |
| cmm11 | /etc/default/grub is likely what you'll need to edit | 19:38 |
| ubuntu_ftw | and I know next to nothing about grub | 19:39 |
| ubuntu_ftw | okay cmm11 | 19:39 |
| ubuntu_ftw | I have messed with that to change the boot screen timeout, but that is about it =P | 19:39 |
| ioria | ubuntu_ftw, let's paste it | 19:39 |
| cmm11 | also why have home on a external device ? | 19:39 |
| ubuntu_ftw | I am using an acer aspire 1, which has 32GB of internal emmc storage | 19:40 |
| cmm11 | ah | 19:40 |
| ubuntu_ftw | I can copy/paste the grub but I will need to boot my laptop to a live ubuntu, it'll be a second | 19:40 |
| ioria | ubuntu_ftw, paste also sudo parted -l | 19:41 |
| ubuntu_ftw | ok ioria | 19:41 |
| ioria | ubuntu_ftw, but i assume the aumatyic luks partitioning failed ? | 19:41 |
| ioria | *automatic | 19:42 |
| ubuntu_ftw | ioria: yes it did, that is why I went the manual route | 19:42 |
| ioria | yep | 19:42 |
| ubuntu_ftw | a finicky beast, that automatic luks support =P | 19:42 |
| ioria | ubuntu_ftw, i thought it was solved ... | 19:43 |
| ioria | ubuntu_ftw, can you (in theory) boot in bios mode (not efi, i mean) ? | 19:45 |
| ubuntu_ftw | ioria: probably, the firmware would need to support compatibility mode right? | 19:46 |
| ubuntu_ftw | I could check if I end up needing to go that route | 19:46 |
| === jan is now known as Guest90326 | ||
| ioria | ubuntu_ftw, sy, idk that acer aspire 1 in details | 19:46 |
| ubuntu_ftw | ioria: here is parted -l output: https://pastebin.com/5Z2qvvyE | 19:47 |
| cmm11 | paste /etc/default/grub too" | 19:47 |
| ubuntu_ftw | and /etc/default/grub: https://pastebin.com/kUR2RXdZ | 19:47 |
| ubuntu_ftw | there cmm11 =P | 19:48 |
| cmm11 | yeah #11 is wrong | 19:48 |
| ubuntu_ftw | do go on | 19:48 |
| ubuntu_ftw | oh dammit | 19:49 |
| ubuntu_ftw | that was not the correct grub file | 19:50 |
| ubuntu_ftw | I am dumb | 19:50 |
| cmm11 | GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="cryptdevice=UUID=1234:cryptroot root=/dev/mapper/cryptroot" << mine is similar to that (not on ubuntu btw) | 19:50 |
| ubuntu_ftw | ioria: cmm11: that was the wrong grub, I will get the right one | 19:50 |
| cmm11 | ok | 19:50 |
| ioria | oky | 19:50 |
| ubuntu_ftw | huh. actually, I can't mount my root partition anymore | 19:52 |
| ubuntu_ftw | the plot thickens | 19:52 |
| cmm11 | did you do luks open ? | 19:52 |
| ubuntu_ftw | I can do luksOpen just fine | 19:53 |
| ubuntu_ftw | that works | 19:53 |
| ubuntu_ftw | but mounting the mapped device fails | 19:53 |
| cmm11 | then mount it | 19:53 |
| ubuntu_ftw | it says wrong fs type, bad option, nad superblock | 19:53 |
| cmm11 | paste the commands you are using | 19:53 |
| ubuntu_ftw | mount /dev/mapper/root | 19:53 |
| ubuntu_ftw | and to map it, cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/<devicepath> root | 19:54 |
| ubuntu_ftw | the cryptsetup one works | 19:54 |
| ubuntu_ftw | I think maybe I should reinstall and format the ext4 partition with gparted | 19:54 |
| ubuntu_ftw | instead of letting the installer do that | 19:54 |
| ubuntu_ftw | I thought it could handle that much lol | 19:54 |
| ioria | ubuntu_ftw, what you have in /dev/mapper ? | 19:55 |
| ubuntu_ftw | control and root, ioria | 19:55 |
| ioria | ubuntu_ftw, sudo mount /dev/mapper/root /mnt ? | 19:55 |
| cmm11 | are you giving the mount command a location to mount to ? | 19:56 |
| ubuntu_ftw | ioria, that is the command that fails =P | 19:56 |
| cmm11 | also to clarify you do cryptsetup first then mount | 19:57 |
| ubuntu_ftw | of course cmm11 =P | 19:57 |
| ioria | ubuntu_ftw, the luksOpen cmd you issued ? | 19:57 |
| ubuntu_ftw | besides the mount error would have been different as the path wouldn't hae existed | 19:57 |
| ubuntu_ftw | what about it ioria | 19:57 |
| ioria | ubuntu_ftw, you first need to luksOpen the partion .... | 19:57 |
| ioria | *partition | 19:58 |
| ubuntu_ftw | yes, I did | 19:58 |
| ubuntu_ftw | lol. | 19:58 |
| ioria | ubuntu_ftw, ok, paste the cmd | 19:58 |
| ubuntu_ftw | I already told you the command I used... | 19:58 |
| ubuntu_ftw | it mapped fine | 19:58 |
| ubuntu_ftw | I can see in lsblk that it is mapped | 19:58 |
| ioria | ok | 19:58 |
| brygphilomena | did you add GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y to /etc/default/grub | 19:59 |
| ubuntu_ftw | brygphilomena: that may be what I need | 19:59 |
| ubuntu_ftw | thanks for the help all, I am keeping a log of this for later troubleshooting | 19:59 |
| brygphilomena | Double-check that /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grub/grub.cfg contains lines that include insmod luks, cryptomount -u <UUID | 19:59 |
| ubuntu_ftw | ufortunately I have to go now | 19:59 |
| brygphilomena | https://askubuntu.com/questions/729673/ubuntu-full-disk-encryption-with-encrypted-boot | 19:59 |
| ubuntu_ftw | ok I will | 19:59 |
| ubuntu_ftw | thanks | 19:59 |
| cmm11 | brygphilomena: think that's only needed if you want /boot encrypted too | 19:59 |
| ioria | ubuntu_ftw, i'd try in bios mode (without efi) | 19:59 |
| ubuntu_ftw | ok | 19:59 |
| ioria | ubuntu_ftw, if you have the time fill a bug against the automatic partitioner | 20:00 |
| tomreyn | does not | 20:01 |

| Simonious_ | I've got my machine setup so http://mymachine/~user points at /home/user/www/ From there if I wanted to say display a file that lived at /usr/share/randomspot/someimage.png Is that reasonably doable without making a local copy of the image? | 20:08 |
| pragmaticenigma | Simonious_, look up symbolic file links command "ln" | 20:09 |
| brygphilomena | https://askubuntu.com/questions/56339/how-to-create-a-soft-or-symbolic-link | 20:09 |
| Simonious_ | <img src="/home/usr/share/randomspot/someimage.png"> obviously isn't going to work | 20:09 |
| * Simonious_ nods | 20:09 | |
| Simonious_ | yeah, I can use a symbolic link for sure, was just trying to figure out if there was a way I wouldn't need one. :) | 20:10 |
| pragmaticenigma | Simonious_, hard to avoid, though Sym links are very tiny compared to the file they point to | 20:10 |
| pragmaticenigma | Simonious_, you may need to check your webserver setup, many are not setup to follow symbolic links by default | 20:11 |
| Simonious_ | symbolic links will work fine for my needs, I didn't know if there was a more 'direct' way of pointing anywhere on the volume | 20:11 |
| Simonious_ | noted | 20:11 |
| brygphilomena | you could | 20:11 |
| pragmaticenigma | Simonious_, if it is the exact same partition, you can use hard links instead | 20:11 |
| Simonious_ | I tried the whole ../../../<FILE> but that didn't same to take | 20:12 |
| brygphilomena | map a subdomain or subdirectory to that folder in your web server | 20:12 |
| pragmaticenigma | Simonious_, that means your web server is setup correctly. You should not be able to use ../../../ traversals | 20:12 |
| Simonious_ | alright, I'll mess around with sym links next. | 20:12 |
| brygphilomena | yea. Imagine if you could add /../../../etc/passwd and get download a copy | 20:13 |
| pragmaticenigma | Simonious_, A hard link can work too. It only lives in the FAT and creates multiple entries that all point to the same file space. They can be more troublesome than Sym Links though. | 20:13 |
| brygphilomena | I suppose you could do virtual hosts w/ a subdomain | 20:14 |
| pragmaticenigma | brygphilomena, I think that would require multiplying the effort for each potential user account | 20:15 |
| pragmaticenigma | Simonious_, if you are using Apache. Apache does have folder alias... which means you could have http://example.com/~user like you already do, and then http://example.com/images point to a shared images folder that all users can link images/files from | 20:16 |
| Simonious_ | https://ghostbin.com/paste/qn7tq | 20:17 |
| Simonious_ | and ramdrive lives at ~/www/ramdrive | 20:18 |
| brygphilomena | https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_userdir.html#userdir | 20:18 |
| === ueberall is now known as uebera|| | ||
| pragmaticenigma | Simonious_, you can't access ramdrive because the permissions are set that only the owner/user can access the folder... You would need to give it chmod 755 for the web server to have access. | 20:20 |
| Simonious_ | pragmaticenigma: where do you see that limited permission? | 20:20 |
| pragmaticenigma | Simonious_, drwx------ 3 user user 100 Apr 20 20:17 . | 20:20 |
| pragmaticenigma | Simonious_, in ls -l, the folder "." points to the current directory | 20:21 |
| brygphilomena | Server unable to read htaccess file, denying access to be safe | 20:21 |
| Simonious_ | ahh, indeed! | 20:21 |
| Simonious_ | that fixed it nicely, thanks! | 20:21 |
| Ben64 | i'd really recommend against putting /run/user/1000 on a webserver | 20:21 |
| Simonious_ | Ben64: I'm listening? | 20:21 |
| Simonious_ | I'm doing a lot of file moving and I'd prefer not to put that activity on spinning media | 20:22 |
| Ben64 | stuff gets put there from the system | 20:22 |
| pragmaticenigma | Ben64, I think they're using the name "user" as a sanitized value | 20:22 |
| Ben64 | no | 20:22 |
| Ben64 | it's "user" | 20:22 |
| Simonious_ | ^ | 20:22 |
| Ben64 | it's a special directory | 20:22 |
| Simonious_ | it's per individual user | 20:22 |
| Simonious_ | and yes, the system does put things there | 20:22 |
| Ben64 | if you want to have something in ram, use something like /run/shm/newfolderjustforthis | 20:22 |

| paolo_ | Hi guys! on ubuntu 16.04 I had and asus en210 graphic card (nvidia geforge 210 chip), it worked with nvidia-340 driver, and opencl was working. I changed it with a nvidia gtx 1060, which is said to be working in xenial, at the first boot after changing the graphic card I got the card working perfectly with nouveau driver, but I need nvidia driver in order to work with opencl in darktable, so I installed nvidia 396 driver from the pro | 20:50 |
| anddam | pragmaticenigma: thanks | 20:50 |
| anddam | I think I'm approaching twenty years of IRC | 20:50 |
| paolo_ | After rebooting, I only have a miserable 640x480 mode, and lsmod doesn't see any nvidia module.. I looked for something left from nvidia-340, but I couldn't find anything. Any hint? | 20:51 |
| SlidingHorn | paolo_: have you tried using the nvidia-settings manager? | 20:52 |
| paolo_ | I remember that it didn't work. What should I do with it when in 640x480 mode | 20:53 |
| paolo_ | ? | 20:53 |
| SlidingHorn | paolo_: open a terminal and nvidia-settings use that to change your display settings, save to an x configuration file and you should be set | 20:54 |
| paolo_ | but the nvidia module that is not loaded? | 20:54 |
| sveinse | If I've wrongfully configured postfix, how can I unconfigure it? I tried dpkg-reconfigure postfix and selected "no configuratio" but that didn't remove the running postfix server | 20:58 |
| sveinse | Aha, with no configuration is sais "leave current config alone". That explains. Purge then | 21:00 |
| SlidingHorn | Paolo__: if you run sudo update-alternatives --config x86_64-linux-gnue_gl_conf what is selected? | 21:01 |
| SlidingHorn | s/gnue/gnu | 21:02 |
| SlidingHorn | Paolo__: disregard - That's deprecated (was looking at an old source | 21:04 |

| SlidingHorn | I just realized that | 21:28 |
| blyes | #ubuntu-es | 21:28 |
| paolo___ | I tried with 390 and 384, nothing changes. (but I remember that the first time I opened the drivers window, 390 was in the first place) | 21:29 |
| kostkon | blyes, it's /j #ubuntu-es | 21:29 |
| paolo___ | SlidingHorn: Could I have something installed remained from previous card driver (nvidia 340)? | 21:30 |
| SlidingHorn | paolo___: let's do this...set it back to the mesa drivers, then purge any nvidia drivers you have (sudo apt purge nvidia* ) then sudo apt update && sudo apt install nvidia-390 | 21:32 |
| SlidingHorn | (I'm recommending 390, because that's what I have for my 1060 and I believe it matters) | 21:33 |
| SlidingHorn | paolo___: sorry it's sudo apt install nvidia-driver-390 | 21:35 |
| paolo___ | doing it, it installs "primus primus-libs socat" too, 396 didn't | 21:36 |
| SlidingHorn | paolo___: (you may need to reinstall nvidia-settings as well | 21:37 |
| paolo_ | SlidingHorn: done and rebooted, now $ nvidia-settings says: | 21:39 |
| paolo_ | Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". ERROR: NVIDIA driver is not loaded ERROR: Unable to load info from any available system | 21:39 |
| SlidingHorn | paolo_: do the sudo update-alternatives --config x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf again | 21:42 |
| SlidingHorn | (choose the option for nvidia auto) | 21:42 |
| shazbotmcnasty | hey there - I have kde and am using dolphin as my file manager, I can't get network discovery working in Dolphin. Avahi-daemon is installed and running. Anyone have any ideas? | 21:46 |
| SlidingHorn | shazbotmcnasty: which version of ubuntu? | 21:47 |
| paolo_ | SlidingHorn: I have already as you say | 21:47 |
| shazbotmcnasty | 16.04 | 21:47 |
| SlidingHorn | paolo_: okay, and the sudo software-properties-gtk what does the Additional Drivers tab say? | 21:47 |
| tgm4883 | !gksudo SlidingHorn | 21:49 |
| tgm4883 | !gksudo | SlidingHorn | 21:49 |
| ubottu | SlidingHorn: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 21:49 |
| SlidingHorn | tgm4883: true - while in *this* case, sudo doesn't harm in the way mentioned, it's probably not prudent to get the user used to using a graphical sudo. Noted. | 21:51 |
| paolo___ | SlidingHorn: sudo update-alternatives --config x86_64-linux-gnu_egl_conf shows that I'm using /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mesa-egl/ld.so.conf | 21:53 |
| vlt | Hello. Is there an image viewer that leaves holes in transparent png images, for example? | 21:53 |
| SlidingHorn | paolo___: you want to be using the new nvidia driver we just installed | 21:53 |
| RNeville | Hello, everyone, I'm trying to get LibreOffice installed on Ubuntu 16.04 ; the only thing that the Ubuntu Software installs is LibreOffice 5.1.6.2 | 21:53 |
| vlt | I'm looking for a way to create a black full screen with two holes in it where other X windows are visible. | 21:54 |
| SlidingHorn | RNeville: that is the supported version. see: /msg ubottu best for why newer may not be better | 21:54 |
| vlt | Any idea? | 21:54 |
| vlt | A mask for my desktop. | 21:55 |
| SlidingHorn | vlt: I'm not aware of any software that does that | 21:56 |
| paolo_ | SlidingHorn: the drivers window sayt I'm using the 390 | 21:57 |
| RNeville | I can't get my printer to work correctly with LibreOffice 5.1.6.2 - it was working correctly before I reinstalled Ubuntu | 21:57 |
| vlt | Can I create this by using multiple black rectangles? What would you use to arrange black rectangles on your screen? | 21:57 |
| tgm4883 | vlt: what is your end goal? | 21:58 |
| SlidingHorn | paolo_: make sure that the update-alternatives command is updated to use the nvidia option, also | 21:58 |
| SlidingHorn | paolo_: after that, reboot, and run the following: lsmod | grep nvidia | pastebinit | 21:59 |
| vlt | tgm4883: A black screen with two rectangular "holes" where two areas of programs in the "background" are visible. | 21:59 |
| tgm4883 | vlt: well the craftiest way to do that would be to grab a piece of black construction paper, cut two holes in it and tape it to your screen | 22:00 |
| vlt | tgm4883: I need that black paper to be applied on the HDMI out ;-) | 22:01 |
| tgm4883 | vlt: then tape it to whatever screen the HDMI out goes to | 22:01 |
| vlt | tgm4883: Projection :-/ | 22:01 |
| tgm4883 | vlt: get a smaller piece of construction paper and tape it to the lens | 22:02 |
| vlt | tgm4883: But I'm glad you understood what I'm trying to achieve here :-D | 22:02 |
| SlidingHorn | vlt: well, you only just now told us that you're talking about a projector...we can't read your mind. | 22:02 |
| vlt | I need a software construction paper to arrange on my desktop. | 22:02 |
| SlidingHorn | vlt: in that case, I'd recommend using LibreOffice's Present and use slides that accomplish this or create graphics for screenshots | 22:03 |
| paolo___ | SlidingHorn: set x86_64-linux-gnu_egl_conf to nvidia 390, but nothing changed... :-( | 22:03 |
| vlt | SlidingHorn: Sorry, I wasn't full aware how significant the projection is. | 22:03 |
| tgm4883 | I mean, none of this really tells us why we're trying to do this. So I guess use a black image. Open it up a few times and place it wherever you want on your desktop | 22:03 |
| vlt | SlidingHorn: How can I get holes inside a LibreOffice presentation? | 22:03 |
| tgm4883 | vlt: you cant | 22:04 |
| SlidingHorn | paolo___: can you give the link that my last command gave you? | 22:04 |
| tgm4883 | vlt: let's start over. Why are you trying to hide stuff from whoever is viewing your projector | 22:04 |
| SlidingHorn | vlt: you design them to hide the parts of the screenshot you don't want shown...then add an animation or transformation that removes them as you go | 22:04 |
| vlt | tgm4883: Because I don't want the rest of the program windows and desktop to be visible. Only two specific areas showing live video. | 22:05 |
| SlidingHorn | vlt: without more information, I'm going to just say that this isn't possible as far as I know. | 22:06 |
| tgm4883 | vlt: drag video to second monitor and go full screen | 22:06 |
| paolo_ | SlidingHorn: it says empty document | 22:06 |
| paolo_ | I have no nvidia module loaded | 22:06 |
| vlt | tgm4883: I need both videos on one screen. I already arranged them, I just need the digital construction paper. | 22:07 |
| paolo_ | SlidingHorn: lshw says the display is UNCLAIMED | 22:07 |
| vlt | What program would display a black rectangle without any borders or title bars? | 22:08 |
| vlt | Anywhere on an X screen. | 22:08 |
| SlidingHorn | vlt: if you already have videos, why can't you just edit them to have masks, themselves? | 22:08 |
| tgm4883 | this seems unnecessary | 22:09 |
| paolo_ | where precisely is this channel's log? | 22:10 |
| vlt | SlidingHorn: It's live video. | 22:10 |
| SlidingHorn | !log | 22:10 |
| ubottu | Official channel logs can be found at https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ . LoCo channels are now logged there too. Meetingology logs at https://ubottu.com/meetingology/logs/ | 22:10 |
| Lope | I've got a surface pro 2 running ubuntu 18.04. When I touch the physical windows button under the screen, the tablet vibrates, but it doesn't trigger anything at all in gnome. Not the start button, nothing. If the screen is off due to power saving it still vibrates when I touch the button but the screen doesn't wake up. I tried to see if I could bind a shell script or something to it by making a keyboard | 22:11 |
| Lope | shortcut, but when I try that and the keyboard shortcut widget says "press any key" touching the button causes the tablet to vibrate but no key is registered and it continues waiting for me to press a key. Any ideas? | 22:11 |
| tgm4883 | vlt: use a black image and feh | 22:12 |
| tgm4883 | vlt: this seems unnecessarily convoluted | 22:12 |
| vlt | tgm4883: Can you recommend a less convoluted way to display two live video screens on an otherwise black screen? | 22:12 |
| * vlt googles "feh" | 22:13 | |
| tgm4883 | vlt: depends on what I'm trying to do as the end result | 22:13 |
| SlidingHorn | ^^ | 22:13 |
| tgm4883 | !info feh | vlt | 22:13 |
| ubottu | vlt: feh (source: feh): imlib2 based image viewer. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.19-1 (artful), package size 151 kB, installed size 422 kB | 22:13 |
| SlidingHorn | vlt: which you still have yet to explain to us | 22:13 |
| vlt | SlidingHorn: I'm sorry, I seem to perform not so well at explaining. I'll try again: | 22:14 |
| tgm4883 | I mean, if I'm trying to show 2 live streams of security cameras on a security monitor, I'm going to use a specific piece of software for that. If I'm trying to display 2 youtube video to a classroom while hiding the rest of my background, I'm going to take a step back and reevaluate my life | 22:15 |
| vlt | SlidingHorn: I use two programs to display live video connected via USB. These programs not only show the video but a lot of other stuff like menus ... Now I need a black screen and only the two live videos visible. Is there a better approach than "digital black tape"? | 22:19 |
| tgm4883 | vlt: I'd probably just use security camera software for that | 22:22 |
| tgm4883 | A quick way to do it is possibly motion and a webpage, but that would depend on how real-time you need it to be (IIRC, motion is kinda slow) | 22:23 |
| vlt | Ok, thank you. I'll try to use feh. | 22:25 |

| Ubuntu1204 | oh | 22:33 |
| Ubuntu1204 | ok | 22:33 |
| Ubuntu1204 | and after the upgrade do you think it will go faster? | 22:33 |
| SlidingHorn | Ubuntu1204: I think you'll better be able to get support if it doesn't. Zesty is EOL ( /msg ubottu eol ) - see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for currently supported releases | 22:34 |
| Ubuntu1204 | ok | 22:35 |

| freeguestee | lookin for advice on compiling python from source. I need version 2.6.6, but ubuntu 14.04 has 2.7.x. I tried to do ./configure && make... but It failed. Error says 'failed to find necessary bits' to build modules | 22:45 |
| sveinse | How can I change the hostname on a server. I've attempted setting it with hostname and changed everything grepped for in /etc, ran update-grub, but still it comes up the old hostname after reboot. Any ideas? | 22:47 |
| blkadder | hostnamectl | 22:49 |
| Lope | Is it possible to bind the windows button on the keyboard as a shortcut key to run a command? When I tried, it didn't want to detect. Has anyone here done it? Running Mate on Ubuntu 16.04. | 22:50 |
| sveinse | blkadder: nope, that doesn't help. reboot and its back again | 22:52 |
| blkadder | Then something else is going on. It works fine for me. | 22:52 |
| blkadder | sveinse: What type of environment is the server in? | 22:56 |
| sveinse | blkadder: what do you mean? -- I'm actually checking the dhcp server right now | 22:56 |
| sveinse | No, the dhcp server claims to use the new hostname | 22:57 |
| blkadder | Well, something somewhere is changing it back. :-) | 22:58 |
| blkadder | I'd start looking through your startup scripts, etc. | 22:58 |
| sveinse | Nothing in /etc | 22:58 |
| sveinse | I've grepped for it | 22:58 |
| blkadder | Check out systemd related areas. | 22:58 |
| squib0 | I have an ubuntu 16.04 LTS virtual machine that is receiving an IPv4 config via dhcp but it seems to be failing to do any network connectivity due to name lookup issues | 22:59 |
| squib0 | I can ping IPs on the internet and I can ping the dns servers | 22:59 |
| squib0 | nmcli on the ethernet device shows all the correct IP settings and DNS IPs. what could be the issue? | 23:00 |
| squib0 | if I do a 'nslookup www.google.com' for example it just hangs for awhile and then says connection timeout | 23:00 |
| sveinse | The culprit is cloud-init. Now I need to figure out how it is configured | 23:07 |

| squib0 | Bashing-om, there's nothing in the /etc/resolv.conf file, but nmcli returns the proper DNS server entries for the device | 23:12 |
| squib0 | Bashing-om, I figured it out. something weird with another virtual router I'm running in the lab topology | 23:13 |
| squib0 | there's still nothing in /etc/resolv.conf except the localhost so that file must kind deprecated or something | 23:14 |

| shazbotmcnasty | ok riddle me this - heh - if I just do smb://serverip it shows up - click a share, asks for username/password, and then it just asks for it again | 23:40 |
| shazbotmcnasty | so - I can ssh into the server using that username and password | 23:40 |
