JPSmanJust updated to 18.04 yesturday, and when I first start up (and even now using Xchat) I get a CPU hog from resolved and dnsmasq using %80 of my CPU and %100 of my "network"00:00
JPSmanyeah its systemd-resolved and dnsmasq00:00
JPSmanI kill -9 it, and then I can't resolv websites00:01
JPSmanwhat can I do to stop this?00:01
JPSmantesting..... is this thing on?00:06
KamilionJPSman: yes. it's on.00:07

quidnuncHow do I create new login options. I don't see .desktop files in /etc anymore00:42
quidnunc?00:42
atlas_0x01a00:45
quidnuncAnother question. Am I stupid or is meld bugged when doing directory compare00:47
guivercquidnunc, i know nothing about login options; but what are you after?   (I'm wondering if its related to the DM, so going back to lightdm maybe will help?)00:47
quidnuncguiverc: I want to use xmonad00:47
quidnuncwindow manager00:48
guiverci can't help with xmonad sorry00:48
quidnuncguiverc: Thanks, but it's not an xmonad specific question.00:49
quidnuncWhere is the setting/file that stores the option to select between Gnome and Gnome on Wayland in GDM?00:50
guiverci don't know - i assume related to gdm/lightdm or greeter  (maybe https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GDM or https://help.gnome.org/admin/gdm/stable/configuration.html.en but I don't know00:52
quidnuncguiverc: no worries00:52
Toadisattvaso I pulled a bit of a stupid. I set the permissions on the root / to only able to be viewed and access by owner and now I've locked myself out of the OS entirely it just won't boot, so my question is what do I need to do to change that permission via grub?00:54
guivercToadisattva, won't boot? or you can't login?  (to gui? and/or terminal?)00:55
Toadisattvait just loads up the splash screen and never goes any futher00:56
ToadisattvaI think I can can get to grub00:56
guivercI'd try switching to term (forgetting the gui), ie. ctrl+alt+f4 (or whatever you favorite number is)00:57
Toadisattvamy question is what command I need to put in terminal to change taht permission? sudo su then what chmod 777 /00:57
Toadisattva?00:58
guivercif using term fails, then reboot & when at grub selecting <E> for edit, and add a " 1" (also remove quiet, splash so you can see any issues) so it boots to rescue/maintenance mode... and see if you can login there00:58
Toadisattvamm okay00:58
devhenis it possible to encrypt the root filesystem with the ubuntu 18.04 server installer?00:59
devheni dont see the option anywhere00:59
guivercI wouldn't put 777 - dangerous.   First if it were my system I'd look at what you did (ie. looking in `history` so you reverse only what you did).. but that's maybe just me00:59
tomreyndevhen: not with the 'live' one, no, use the classic server installer instead.01:00
Toadisattvaokay I'll see if I can get in via grub first01:00
devhentomreyn: thanks! where do i get that? i dont see it. https://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu-releases/18.04/01:01
devhennevermind i think i found it here http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/18.04/release/01:02
guivercToadisattva, if you used your own login, ~/.bash_history will contain your commands  (~ being shorthand for your /home/$USER/ directory)  fyi: 755 is the default for much of my / contents..01:02
tomreyndevhen: right, HEADER.html pointed there01:02
devhenthanks01:03
DirtyCajunPSA: For anyone who hasnt done the 18.04 upgrade that is going to and uses nginx+php: If you are using 7.0 sockets you will need to change them to 7.2 sockets. (20 minutes of confusion on my end till i figured it out)\01:03
ToadisattvaI was trying to prevent a desktop user from being able to see the root filesystem so though the gui I changed the permissions to only allow the owner (root) to be able to view access and modify then upon rebooting it just never passes the splash screen01:04
compdocdo you remeber the correct permissions?01:04
ToadisattvaI believe initially it was set to anyone can view only owner and group can access and only owner can modify01:06
Exterminadorstupid question: my laptop only works (as in only display graphics on under Advanced options..., Ubuntu...(recovery mode), resume boot). but as expected I don't have video acceleration. is it possible to enable it?01:06
Toadisattvaperhaps I can get into terminal through grub get root, then start x?01:07
Toadisattvathen just fix it via the gui?01:07
JPSmansystemd-resolved and dnsmasq is using %50 of my CPU, what gives?01:07
guivercToadisattva, 755 (7=read,write&execute, 5=read & execute) - but unless you understand permissions its best to stick to only changing files (directory permissions are needed to read at least so you can navigate around)01:09
guivercdid you add the '1' and boot - it should go to terminal & ask you to enter password?01:09
Toadisattvayeah that's all I need is to get in an give myself read permission again01:09
guivercit'll get you into your system, but I'd not start GUI from there, just use commands, are you familiar with bash (shell)?01:10
JPSmanCan anyone see the words that I am typing?01:10
ToadisattvaI'm fairly familiar with it no pro but I can navigate around successfully01:10
Toadisattvawould chown username:group / be sufficient to unlock the read access?01:11
guivercyour alternative is to boot a install-media-LIVE and mount your hdd, then you can use a gui, but not your username) - its an option if you prefer gui01:12
Toadisattvalike that would change ownership to my user so I can just log in normaly from there and switch ti back to root once I'm in?01:12
Toadisattvaoh that's a good idea01:12
guivercif you use the 'live', don't refer to usernames, as you'll be running by whatever userid the live users (and its $UID which may not be the same as your own)01:13
uhmaxHiya!01:14
guivercs/live users/live uses/01:14
JPSmanHi uhmax!01:14
Toadisattvayeah the chown thing was mean for logging in through grub01:14
Toadisattvaassuming that will work01:14
ToadisattvaI think you guys have pointed me the right direction, I'll come back and bother you more if I can't get it hehe01:15
pepermuntjesso i tried ubuntu 18.0401:22
pepermuntjeswhats up with these retarded sounds? And the idiotic color scheme that ruins gnome? And the software center that offers snap and regular packages mixed with each other.01:23
tgm4883You know, I had a hunch you weren't going to have a support question01:24
pepermuntjeswhy did ubuntu added some weird side dock to ubuntu, that constantly changes colour? You can't say  you havent noticed that.01:25
FastZside dock?01:26
tgm4883pepermuntjes: do you have a support question? Because subjective issues like these aren't really on topic for this channel01:27

tgm4883pepermuntjes: did you search settings for "Themes"? Or try changing your background?01:30

tgm4883All of this is wildly off topic though01:37
roothorickpepermuntjes: nothing out of the ordinary, just the usual "session opened" / "session closed" messages01:37
pepermuntjesroothorick, if you create a new user, does it also gives the same behaviour?01:38

pepermuntjesmaybe if you install the firefox nightly's02:42
Rockwoodhelp me please02:43
AlexPortableah yes thanks02:44
Rockwoodpepermuntjes, can you please ?02:45
pepermuntjesRockwood, what version do you currently have installed?02:47
Rockwood7.202:47
Rockwoodphp02:48
Rockwoodpepermuntjes, https://kopy.io/MNLsI02:48
pepermuntjesand you want the older versions also?02:48
Rockwoodyes02:48
Rockwoodis it possible ?02:48
leftyfbRockwood: I would run your older version of php against your site in an LXD container on your machine02:49
pepermuntjesaccording to tedadmin its possible02:50
Rockwoodleftyfb, my is coded in old version so i want02:50
leftyfbRockwood: right, run the code in a container against the old version of php02:50
leftyfbRockwood: or the proper solution, update your code02:50
pepermuntjeshttps://tecadmin.net/install-multiple-php-version-apache-ubuntu/02:51
leftyfbRockwood: those are your 2 best options02:51
leftyfb^^^ that is not the best option02:51
pepermuntjesmy gut feeling agrees with you leftyfb , but why isn't a good option?02:52
Rockwoodso i need VM here ?02:53
leftyfbpepermuntjes: to be honest, the biggest reason, sticking the old code in a container isolates it from the rest of the system and makes it slightly more difficult to deal with. Encouraging the developer to get off their duff and keep their code updated and less likely to be exploited.02:54
leftyfbRockwood: LXD container02:54
evulishhm. i upgraded from 17.10 to 18.04 and now my nginx reverse proxies have permission denied errors. i saw the config changed usernames for nginx but i don't know how that makes a difference02:54
leftyfbevulish: do the permission denied errors tell you what file/directory has the issue?02:55
leftyfbevulish: start there, see what permissions that file/directory has and compare it to whatever acl's the new nginx runs as02:55
evulishohh.. yeah.. /var/lib/nginx/proxy/1/00/000000000102:56

leftyfbatlas_0x01: watch the language please. Also, you are correct. This is not the place to get help wih a CTF. Kinda defeats the purpose if you're looking to someone else to help you with it.02:59

Rockwoodthanks02:59
atlas_0x01@leftyfb Sure thing. Any suggestions on where I could go to ask? I'm pretty stuck03:00
leftyfbatlas_0x01: no. From what I understand, you're supposed to figure that out on your own. Or you shouldn't be competing03:00
pepermuntjesatlas_0x01, what do you wanne know?03:01

baba_thank you...03:28

evulishthe shell looks the same as it has for the last two decades or so whenever they added color terms :)03:37
gogetaevulish: ?03:39
baba_ummm.....all right.....03:39
gogetababa_: well that is the best advice03:41
baba_i imagine you are referring to the idea of trying it directly....03:41
gogetababa_: indeed personaly i hate gnome 3 but others sware by it03:43
gogetababa_: i hated unity to and millions used it daily for a decade03:43
gogetababa_: its all personal prefrence03:44
baba_I understand.....there are strong debates on that element....thanks for the input.03:46
gogetababa_: i like kde plasma myself03:47
gogetababa_: you literly can change everything03:47
gogetababa_: my system looks like something from ghost in the shell lol03:48
baba_I will keep that in mind....I will have to look into the subject of DEs....I am afraid I have little knowledge of it.03:48
gogetababa_: well having a de you like can make you brake your experance03:49
Toadisattvaso many desktops03:49
gogetaindeed03:49
Rockwoodpepermuntjes still you there ?03:51
baba_I'll have to try it out...once I figure out how to transfer everything over to a new installation....how I wish I had logged all my changes!03:51
gogetahttps://i.imgur.com/vBUZGaS.png03:52
gogetababa_: if you mean /home03:55
baba_i mean more than that........and thanks for the screencap, btw...03:55
gogetabobe: if you made a /home partation you can cary that over from any install03:56
baba_i understand, but that was not in a separate partition....the install had zero organization.....03:57
gogetababa_: yea that was me playing with the theming whent for a mix of classic and modenr looks03:58
gogetababa_: but you could make behave like gnome 3  or even unity03:58
gogetababa_: even windows 1003:58
gogetababa_: even osx03:59
pepermuntjesbaba_, i don't like it03:59
gogetapepermuntjes: what plasma04:00
pepermuntjesubuntu 18.0404:00
baba_that is interesting, thanks....04:00
gogetapepermuntjes: ahh04:00
gogetapepermuntjes: so didnt like gnome 304:01
pepermuntjesgogeta, i think gnome3 is the touch friendliest Desktop interface?04:01
gogetapepermuntjes: gnome 3 is 18.04 and 17.1004:02
gogetapepermuntjes: meh you can set plasma for touch04:03
baba_my computer has a touch screen, and I never touch it04:04
gogetababa_: pretty mutch lol04:04
Kon-The default Kubuntu theme is beautiful04:04
gogetababa_: but you can set up screen corner actions a full screen launcher etc04:05
gogetato be touch frendly04:05
gogetaKon-:  meh https://i.imgur.com/vBUZGaS.png04:05
Kon-Yes, I saw your screenshot :)04:05
Kon-Black on blue is a little hard to read for me04:06
gogetaKon-: its not black04:06
Kon-But the good thing about Plasma is that you can do almost anything04:06
gogetaKon-: its neon blue and green04:06
pepermuntjesdoesnt look to bad04:06
pepermuntjeslow resolution?04:06
gogetapepermuntjes: older laptop04:07
Kon-baba_: If you liked Unity, KDE can easily be made to work the same way. And the Ubuntu team has put a lot of energy into trying to replicate the Unity theme in GNOME04:07
pepermuntjesgogeta, nice, have an older laptop myself, accu is empy within 30 minutes, ordered a replacement today, wish me luck :D04:08
gogetaKon-: but you can use any sort of coloring you loke04:08
gogetalike04:08
baba_thanks, Kon, gogeta..I will keep all of this in mind04:10

physketsHi!04:24
physketsI attempted install of 18.04 alongside a Windows 10 installation,04:25
gogetaphyskets: WONDERFULL!!!04:25
physketsbut after the first reboot,04:25
physketsGRUB no longer has precedence04:25
physketsthe windows boot loader takes over04:25
gogetaphyskets: you must construct additional pylons04:26
physketsthe only way to get to Ubuntu is to press F11 and04:26
physketschoose Ubutu after a few selections04:26
physketsgogeta: What do I need to do?04:27
physketsAlso, Windows has become very slow to boot after I installed Ubuntu04:27
physketsWhy might that be?04:27
SITMDoes 18.04 not use Grub commandline parameters or has nopti been disabled completely in the kernel?04:28
SITMis this a ubuntu question or 4.15 kernel question?04:28
gogetaphyskets: same steps just set linux as defult04:29
gogetaphyskets: https://www.itsupportguides.com/knowledge-base/ubuntu/set-windows-10-default-ubuntu-grub-boot-loader/04:29
a0sc0ttI've had the opposite problem in the past. Grub becomes the default boot loader when I install ubuntu on another drive. It installs it on the Window efi boot partition. Anyone know how to keep the ubuntu installation from doing this?04:31
gogetaa0sc0tt: no it has to be there or you cant dual boot04:31
gogetaa0sc0tt: but you can set yhe defult os to load04:32
a0sc0ttThe arrangement I wanted was just to use the system bios to choose the disk I want to boot from.04:32
a0sc0ttOnce group is in the windows boot partition I cannot get it out.04:33
gogetaa0sc0tt: unfortanly you need a bot loader04:33
gogetaboot04:33
baba_we have too many bot loaders as it is :-)04:33
gogetaa0sc0tt: after you remove linux you can remove it04:33
a0sc0ttHow?04:34
gogetaa0sc0tt: then restore the windows boot loader04:34

hiiggyWant to get something clarified. When specifying multiple DNS servers, how is the system using that information? That is, when DNS needs to be queried, does it query the first specified server only (then the next if the previous fails), or does it query all listed servers simultaneously?04:55

physketsgogeta: OKay, I solved the first issue by going to the BIOS/UEFI settings and changing boot order there05:08
physketsso now, grub loads, and I can choose between Ubuntu and Windows05:08
physketsBut the second problem still remains05:08
physketsWindows is now very slow to boot05:08
physketsAny idea what might be causing that? - I tries turing off Fast Start/Boot in Windows, but that also doesn't help05:09
TeguI wonder if it's due to lack of fast startup.. did you disable it before installing linux?05:09
pavlosSITM: run sudo update-grub after changing /e/d/grub05:09
shadow98pavlos: thanks i will review05:09
physketsTegu: It was enabled, and it was slow then. I disabled it, but not difference in boot time05:10
physketss/not/no05:10
Tegubut I've never messed with the fast boot settings or dualbooted on a modern (uefi and a new windows) system so I don't really know :/ I guess I should try that at some point05:11

physketsthe nice thing about UEFI systems is that the firmware is now aware of installed OSes05:13

WoodpeckerHey all I am trying to get sound for a game I am running, and google is not coming through. Initially to get it running, I had to install 3 i386 libraries; libx11-6:i386  libglu1-mesa:i386 and libsm6:i386 -- It now runs, but without sound.

Gargravarrso this morning, i started up my Bionic laptop on the bus, worked fine on the built-in screen. shut down, plugged the laptop into my desk monitor as my primary, started, GDM came up, logged in, and the screen went black10:10

guivercRumen, if you restored your whole user directory, it contains .config/, .local/share/ & other hidden (in that . as first name hides it from simple views) directories which contain user configs for apps etc, some of which may have setup as per prior version of Ubuntu.

cornelwhat is the difference betweeen the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of ubuntu budgie (aside forom the ovbvious different build target)11:53
cornel?11:53
lorucornel: there should be none?11:53
cfhowlettcornel, that IS the difference11:53
loruthank you webmind & EriC^^ & _ruben_11:54
loruhave a nice day11:54
tigefaEriC^^: is that package problem? or my laptop can handle xubuntu 16.04 amd6411:55
cornelloru, cfhowlett , thank you. I wonder why then they recommend the 32-bit version for lower resources systems, unless they don't know that the 32-bit version of linux is a second-class citizen, like in less maintained/cared for11:55
cfhowlettcornel, "they"?11:55
cfhowlettand 32bit is a dying platform.11:56
dosshellloru: I guess you joined between my messages. I'm trying to install Ubuntu Server 1804 with a software raid, but the installation instructions, https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/advanced-installation.html, are not correct (outdated?) and i can not find anything related to softwareRaid in the installation.11:56
lotuspsychjecornel: if your hardware support 64bit, install a 64bit ubuntu version11:56
cornelcfhowlett, https://ubuntubudgie.org/downloads11:56
cornellotuspsychje, that is the plan, thank you11:57
corneli would rephrase those instructions: "if your system can not run 64-bit apps, then choose the 32bit version"11:58
JakdawAnyone else have troubles with the 'keyboard-configuration' package whilst upgrading to bionic? Getting: ckbcomp: Can not find file "symbols/uk" in any known directory11:59
=== G_ is now known as Guest74531
Jakdaw... which is causing it to fail to configure the package11:59
tomreyndosshell: the default server installer was recently changed to be the 'live' ("subiquity") installer. a bad decision IMO, since this one does not support many of the most common server installaiton use cases.12:01
cornelwhat is the lightest ubuntu desktop in terms of RAM/CPU/I/O?12:01
tomreyndosshell: the old style installer, which i think the manual you are following refers to, and which supports RAID and LVM and FDE and manual partitioning in egneral, is still available.12:01
lotuspsychjecornel: lightest depends, but lubuntu & xubuntu will work12:02
tomreyndosshell: ...and a link to it can be found from the HTML page offering the 'live' download12:02
corneli was thinking xubuntu. thank you lotus12:02
Tegutoo bad the latest xfce release is several years old (from 2015)12:02
dosshelltomreyn: Very helpful!12:02
cornelbudgie is significantly heavier?12:02
cornellotuspsychje, ^^12:03
lotuspsychjecornel: budgie is based on gnome, so yes xubuntu & lubuntu should be lighter12:03
cornelok12:03
tomreyndosshell: https://www.ubuntu.com/download/server states: "This release uses our new installer, Subiquity. If you require advanced networking and storage features, such as RAID and LVM, please use the traditional installer found on the alternative downloads page."12:03
cornellotuspsychje, i'll start with budgie and then feel better with one of the others :)12:03
lotuspsychjecornel: but that doesnt mean, you can tweak budgie lighter12:03
dosshelltomreyn: Thank you!12:04
lapagacornel, ubuntu mate is pretty light12:05
de-factoIs it a known problem that vaapi is broken in bionic? I could not play videos in totem (just some weird colored distorted video) unless i uninstalled gstreamer vaapi..12:09
Tin_mancornel, this article might help with a decision.  >>https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/best-lean-linux-desktop-environment-lxde-vs-xfce-vs-mate/12:09
cornellapaga, thank you, i'm trying to distance myself from gnome as much as possible. but since there's no lxqt official falvour, i'm testing budgie for now. then ican always switch to xfce, which is known to be light12:11
cornelTin_man, thank you, i'm reading it now12:11
Tin_mannp12:11
de-factoimho from those three mate offers the most "complete" DE, since it inherited its tools from gnome 2.12:13
Gargravarrtomreyn: i'll second that O.o a server installer without a RAID option? does not compute12:15
cornelok, reboot time12:16
cornelthank you for help12:16
de-factoi tried all three on raspbian and ended up on MATE since it would require the least amount of manual additions for a completely functioning DE12:16
Gargravarrgodspeed cornel o712:16
de-factoHas anyone here managed to get VAAPI working on AMD Bonaire amdgpu/radeon?12:18
de-factoit looks like it "should work" yet the video is heavily color distorted12:19
Gargravarrde-facto: tried using VLC player? if it doesn't work out of the box, it might give you more debug info12:19
DarkAceZwhat does the File Sharing toggle button in Settings do?12:20
de-factoGargravarr, not yet, i was just using totem (gstreamer vaapi)12:20
DarkAceZI remember before when I ticked it, it gave me a popup to authenticate, but it's not doing that anymore and it automatically switches back to off when I switch tabs12:20
DarkAceZso I can't toggle on "Sharing"12:21
DarkAceZis there a terminal alternative?12:21
DarkAceZthis is gnome-control-center, maybe I should ask #gnome12:22
de-factowow the vlc UI looks super ugly :(. something about QT is weird on bionic12:22
de-factoit is "Using G3DVL VDPAU Driver Shared Library version 1.0 for hardware decoding" and it works though12:23
de-factoso the standard video playback with which Ubuntu ships (Totem) seems to be broken12:24
Gargravarrsomething wrong with Totem then12:24
de-factounisntalling gstreamer vaapi makes it work12:24
jpleauThat's stange. I locked my computer last night, and this morning I couldn't login, it's as if something was pressing enter every 1 second, no way to enter password. Restarted GDM, now in a login loop..12:24
Gargravarralways good to try a different approach as a diagnostic step :)12:24
Gargravarrjpleau: can you switch to a TTY? Ctrl+Alt+F1 (Ctrl+Alt+F7 to get back)12:25
jpleauGargravarr: I switched to a tty to restart gdm (It was F2, X seems to be running on 1 and not 7 here.. 18.04)12:26
de-factoGargravarr, yet when breaking the standard setup by uninstalling gstreamer1.0-vaapi it wont use any hw accel, although it prooved to work with vlc. so i guess the default setup of Bionic is broken in that respect12:26
Gargravarroh right, i just re-read that bit :)12:26
jpleauNot at home at the moment was just asking if someone ahd that happen before12:26
Gargravarrjpleau: yeah, i noticed that too, not consistent which TTY it runs on12:26
Gargravarrde-facto: and this is why we all love Linux :)12:27
de-factoyes, its possible to debug and fix it, yet im not really sure how to get the rendering pipeline of gstreamer out of totem for debugging12:28
schangHi12:36
schangI just tried to do-release-upgrade -d on a 16.04 in an attempt to upgrade to 18.0412:37
schangI though -d was dry run but apprently it has started installing stuffs12:37
Gargravarrschang: read the man-pages before trusting flags12:37
Gargravarr-d for do-release-upgrade is for development releases12:37
Gargravarrergo, it's done the full thing12:37
cfhowlettschang, man do-release-upgrade is explicit and makes good reading12:38
schangalright so what's done is done12:38
Gargravarrschang: the upgrade12:38
hggdhwelcome to 18.04...12:38
Gargravarroh yes, misread12:38
Gargravarrtime to cross your fingers and reboot :)12:38
kostkonschang, was it successful12:38
schangno it was not12:38
Gargravarrah, not time then12:39
Gargravarrwhere did it error out?12:39
schangended with While scanning your repository information no entry about artful12:39
cornelback12:39
cornelbudgie is ok for now12:39
cfhowlettschang, clean install your preferred version12:39
corneli find it odd that the budgie welcome says ability to play mp3 was an extra becasue of patents12:40
schangcfhowlett so what you're saying is that my install is "fucked" and I shall reinstall ?12:40
cfhowlettcornel, that has always been the case12:40
corneli thought mp3 patents have recently expired12:40
cfhowlettschang, no I didn't say that as we don't permit profanity in this channel.  I would say it is borked and you should consider a clean install12:40
Gargravarrschang: more or less. your system is in an unsteady state that would be difficult (not impossible, but painful) to correct manually12:40
Gargravarrhave you backed up your vital data from this system?12:41
cfhowlettcornel, true quite recently12:41
cornelok12:41
schangGargravarr yes I got a backup of everything12:41
cornelthought i was wrong :)12:41
kostkoncornel, and the fluendo codec was legal even before the patent expiration. i don't know if they install that codec but im just saying12:41
niko1990hello everyone :)12:41
Gargravarrschang: that's better than most people :) it will be much less painful to just reinstall, and then upgrade when you are ready12:42
lotuspsychjewelcome niko1990 how can we help you?12:42
rakhanreturnsHello All! I am running 17.10 but with the 4.16 kernel. I would like to know; if I upgrade to 18.04 LTS then will my kernel be reverted? I need to know because my graphics card isn't supported natively under 4.15 (I think - it's a Vega 64).12:43
niko1990I just installed Ubuntu 18.04 fresh on my machine, everything runs perfect, the only thing is: I wanted to save some usernames & passwords in firefox, and the typical "do you want to save..." box shows up, but I can't click the Save button, and the box disappears very fast again... Does someone else have this problems too?12:43
Guest41anyone else having install issues with 18.04?12:44
GargravarrGuest41: can you be more specific about your problem?12:44
cornelrakhanreturns, i expect newer kernel will be left alone but don't take my word for it, i'm an ubuntu newbie12:44

Guest41I have an Acer Spin 5 that works great with Windows and ubuntu 16, but not 17 or 18, it boots to usb fine and installs okay, but when it boots it either says 'no boot device' when secure boot is on, when i turn it off it flashes a message on the acer boot screen and reboots12:45
rakhanreturnscornel: me too. been a long-time Windows user.12:46
rakhanreturnsGuest41: Have you tried disabling Secure Boot?12:46
Guest41yes, that's when it boot loops12:46
cornelGuest41, i expect that if you install with EFI disabled, will boot with EFI disabled12:47
rakhanreturnsGuest41: Hmm. I'm not sure that it'll help, but have you tried installing it after disabling Secure Boot?12:47
GargravarrGuest41: iirc, some machines use 32-bit UEFI despite being a 64-bit system, which causes all manner of problems getting an OS to install12:47
Guest41cornel, you cant disable efi on tis12:47
Guest41*This12:47
lotuspsychjerakhanreturns: its possible on upgrades packages are no longer needed, so in your case try a liveusb and install 18.04 next 17.10 so you still can switch?12:48
Rockwoodafter upgrade 16.04 to 18.04 my phpmyadmin theme is not showing12:48
Gargravarryou could try to switch it back to... oh, it's one of THOSE machines...12:48
lotuspsychjeRockwood: its not reccomended to upgrade lts to lts already12:48
GargravarrRockwood: please message the PHPMyAdmin devs for support with it12:48
niko1990lotuspsychje: I know what version i have installed, but my question was: does anyone else have the same problems (that the "do you wanna save this username and password" box shows up just for less than a second, and you can't click the save button?12:48
rakhanreturnslotuspsychje: Hmm... Good advice, but I think I'll probably just stick with 17.10 until I'm sure my card is supported.12:48
lotuspsychjeRockwood: we advise to wait until 18.04.1 comes out12:48
rakhanreturnsniko1990: Maybe it's an issue with Wayland? Have you tried logging in with Xorg?12:49
Rockwoodthat is dead room i am struggling from yesterday12:49
lotuspsychjerakhanreturns: well, if your 18.04 doesnt work, you still can install 4.16 from recoverymode rootshell right12:49

rakhanreturnsubottu: Thanks. I've already followed those instructions to get 4.16 on my system, but I've never done it in recovery mode so I don't know what's involved if there are any differences at all. I suppose I can research though. :)12:52
ubotturakhanreturns: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)12:52

lotuspsychjerakhanreturns: recoverymode is usefull, when cant enter your system anymore due to issues12:52
rakhanreturnslotuspsychje: So it's akin to Safe Mode?12:52
lotuspsychjerakhanreturns: its not really like safe mode as in windows no12:53
lotuspsychjerakhanreturns: it enters your system with a bunch of tools, like fix broken packages, rootshell,etc12:54
rakhanreturnslotuspsychje: Well, I'll try firing up Recovery Mode in grub just to see what it's like12:54
lotuspsychjerakhanreturns: yes please do, its pretty handy12:54
lotuspsychjerakhanreturns: another way of solving your issue, is to file a new !bug for 4.15 kernel and your graphics card12:55
rakhanreturnsniko1990: As for your issue, I know that Wayland caused problems for me with launching gufw (and one other program I currently fail to recall).12:55

en1gmaok what channel do i goto ?13:00
en1gmafound it13:00
schangregarding my OS on which I ran do-release-upgrade ..... it is still showing xenial in /etc/apt/source.list and 18.04 in /etc/issue so, although I have very little hope that it did not switch do dev/unstable how would I know for sure ?13:01
Gargravarrschang: 'dev' is technically 18.04 until 18.10 gets going13:01
lvrp16do you guys know how to set wayland as default for all users?13:01
lvrp16make gdm3 pick wayland by default instead of x11?13:02
schangGargravarr so 16.04 remains the latest stable LTS right ?13:02
Gargravarrschang: technically yes. LTS holds off offering upgrades until 18.04.113:02
Gargravarrearly adopters are still finding issues and testing the upgrade process13:03
cfhowlettschang, but of course you can force the issue with -d as now know13:03
blaaaI am struggeling getting Ubuntu 18.04 to connect oto the network at start.13:04
blaaaafter booting, the network interfaces are down13:04
blaaathey go up when I run 'netplan apply'13:04
Gargravarrschang: and next time you want to dry-run something, use --dry-run instead of -d :) at least that'll blow up when used on something that doesn't support it13:05
BluesKajblaaa, not using NM?13:05
tomreynyou have 16.04 (xenial) sources (only?) in /etc/apt/source.list but "18.04" in /etc/issue? that's strange, and should not happen IMO.13:05
tomreynschang: ^13:05
Gargravarrtomreyn: it also threw an error about Artful, which seems a bit odd13:05
cfhowlettpretty much indicates an unstable situation13:05
blaaaBluesKaj: no, I use the default setup of an ubuntu server 18.04 install. NM might work, it ddoes/did on other distros13:06
blaaaBluesKaj, I have found one mention of a similar issue: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1019146/netplan-does-not-apply-at-startup13:07
tomreynGargravarr: i see, I had missed the previous chat until now.13:08
BluesKajblaaa, NM=network-manager ...why use netplan , it's clunky , install ifupdown and set your ethernet name in the interfaces file. ifconfig or ip add will display the ethernet name.13:08
Gargravarrtomreyn: np, i figured you might not have spotted that detail. can't imagine where Artful factors into the upgrade process13:09
blaaaBluesKaj, I know NM is network manager, I wanted to use natplan, as it appears to be the default choice in 18.04?13:10
blaaasystemd-networkd works fine on that machine, when running arch13:11
BluesKajreally ? on the server perhaps, but afaik not on standard ubuntus13:11
BluesKajnetplan that is13:12
GargravarrBluesKaj: >default setup of an ubuntu server 18.04 install13:12
BluesKajbad choice Gargravarr, netplan is clunky in my experience13:13
Gargravarrnever experienced it, but at least it's not NM default on a server distro13:13
cornelhmmm, video problems13:13
BluesKajthink the interfaces file setting with ifupdown is more effective and less buggy13:14
cornel'framed' full screen youtube videos in chromium, and also text scrolling in firefox13:15
Gargravarrcornel: additional drivers installed?13:15
corneli don't know13:16
corneli have installed thoe addiotionally patent-ecumbered things proposed by the budgie welcome13:16
cornelbut i don't know what it consists of13:16
cornelbut then, my video card is: Intel Corporation 82Q35 Express Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:29b2] (rev 02)13:17
cornelso i expect no special drivers are needed13:17
cornelotoh, gnome3 libs with this card, is a wonder it works at all :)13:18
D1NG_D4NGhei13:19
tomreyncornel: you probabl yinstalled intel-microcode, and that's probably (hopefully?) fine. indeed, with intel gpu's you don't need (and there ar enot) proprietary graphics drivers.13:23
sveinseI'm experimenting with bringing up a 18.04 server with docker installed from snap. There is a few new things to take in, that's for sure. E.g. the docker assets have other locations due to snap13:23
cornelGargravarr, tomreyn , thank you13:24
tomreyncornel: "ubuntu-drivers list" and "ubuntu-drivers devices", when run in a terminal, will show what you have avialable / installed.13:25
cornelgonna try lubuntu and see if this improves, a bit :)13:25
Gargravarrsveinse: docker in a snap? running LXC in there? ;)13:26
Gargravarrcontainers all the way down13:26
sveinseGargravarr: no, not running lxc. docker mostly because of easy access to updates and deployment, really. In fact this being a small server, I'm counting on my fingers if I should run e.g. nginx on bare-metal, i.e. ubuntu's nginx in the trad sense, or by using nginx docker instance which is official13:28
sveinseI've heard it claimed that over bare metal docker can give better security since it's running in a jail13:29
Gargravarrsveinse: all in the implementation. i know our Docker containers currently run everything as root :)13:29
tomreynthis (and this page in general) has more suggestions on what you could try: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/intel_graphics#Enable_GuC_.2F_HuC_firmware_loading13:31
tomreyncornel: ^13:31
zofrexhow come I don't have a .efi.signed vmlinuz file in /boot with 18.04?13:31
sveinseGargravarr: I suppose if there is a weakness and an rouge application is able to break out of the jail, then it would not matter what the UID of the process is13:32
zofrexhas this been retired or something? I have the linux-signed-generic package installed13:32
sveinseGargravarr: i.e. a breakout would constitute a kernel breach, right?13:32
transhumanhi! Can I force dnsmasq to resolve the local server for (nslookups) using its host file or some hand entered value and the remainder for the same domain a remote server?13:32
dbuggerHi everyone. I have a weird bug. Apparently my terminal doesnt want to paste anymore what I have in my clipboard. "Paste" works outside the terminal, but when I try it to do it there, it shows some old value I had before copied.13:34
Gargravarrtranshuman: /etc/hosts always takes priority13:34
corneltomreyn, thank you but my processor is: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU     E6550  @ 2.33GHz , no core iX here13:34
transhumanin the past thats true but I am not so sure with dnsmasq but perhaps my issue is elsewhere and I have just missed something13:34
Gargravarrnslookup always queries a DNS server, it ignores /etc/hosts13:35
transhumanI can ping things through local host but I cant do nslookups that way13:35
transhumanthats wierd13:35
transhumanmust be something I dont understand going on then13:35
sveinseGargravarr, tanja84dk: Which is configured in /etc/nsswitch.conf btw, but as said, normally files (hosts) takes priority over dns13:36

kjellmann_Hi! I'm using 3 external monitors with dell D6000 docking (2 display ports in dock, 1 hdmi directly in computer"). I get it to display just fine, but now and then (sometimes very often) the screens connected to the dock are turning black and losing connection. Then I have to plug power supply to the dock for it to appear again.. Takes some time and are quiet annoying.. Anyone got a solution?13:44
Gargravarrsveinse: i'm curious as well. seems like CONTAINERISE ALL THE THINGS is a mindset that's contagious :) personally i prefer to run final products on the metal, but i do appreciate the ease of dev'ing with containers. running docker in a snap, you're adding 2 layers of abstraction before you even run your application13:45

kjellmann_lotuspsychje: To use the proprietary driver nvidia-driver-390?13:51
lotuspsychjekjellmann_: for example yes, check whats avalaible on your: ubuntu-drivers list13:52
kjellmann_lotuspsychje: I have to reboot for the changes to take affect, right? I see now that the nvidia driver has updated from 16.04 to 18.04 to a newer version, so probably worth a try13:53
Guest6720de-facto, it's doing exactly as it says in the launchpad bug report, it's spamming the efi with boot entries for shimx64, which fails, it's a firmware bug13:54

lotuspsychjekjellmann_: yes, just keep in mind we not yet reccomend the lts to lts upgrade till 18.04.113:54
de-factoGuest6720, maybe you can boot in bios compat mode or such13:56
Guest6720there's no option for that13:56
SuperLagIs there a way to list only third-party packages you've installed? or do you have to list everything and just filter what you're looking for?13:57
de-factodid you try to manually delete/correct the EFI entries with that efibootmgr? i remember i used it long time ago to drive the kinks out of one efi installation13:57

sveinseGargravarr: Our CTO had a blowout about containers the other day. Cake-IT he called it. The seemingly coolness of layering everything in so many layers up to the point where you need a 3GHz Xeon CPU to run a simple web server. He hoped that the callout for green power in the future might put a stopper on this madness. Pretty interesting statement. And generally I agree.14:03

taiebotI have weird bug here in Bionic just installed on new pc, via usb. On login screen if i type password and press enter, login fails. If i type password and click with the mouse on sign in, i sign in properly. I thought pressing enter would work does anyone confirm the same behaviour. Did a quick browse on launchpad and i did not see anything like that.16:36

schangHi16:46
schangI'm running an ubuntu 16.04 LTS which I'd like to upgrade to the newly released 18.04 LTS16:47
schangI've tried to sudo do-release-upgrade16:47
Gargravarrschang: welcome back (with your rebuilt machine ;)16:47
ImageJPEGdmesg didn't give any clues other than informing that it renamed eth1 to eno216:47
schangbut it is telling me that it is not avaialble16:47
Gargravarrschang: this is correct. LTS will not offer until 18.04.116:47
schangGargravarr yeah, I managed to recover the machine through rsync. Was an dventure but it worked just fine16:48
taiebotschang try do-release-upgrade -d if you want to force it16:48
Gargravarrtaiebot: he did that earlier and bork'd his machine16:48
schangtaiebot already tried that earlier, thanks but not thanks :)16:48
taiebotanyone for my problem ^^16:48
schangok so no do-release-upgrade until .... when the 8.04.1 is released then16:49
Gargravarrschang: 18.04.1 is scheduled for release sometime in June/July16:49
schangok great thanks a lot16:49
schangso basically the only of having a 18.04 LTS to reinstall from scratch then, right ?16:49
schangI mean if I wanted to have it now and not wait until June/July16:50
Gargravarrschang: in theory, do-release-upgrade -d will work. i don't know what caused your machine to error out16:50
Gargravarrseveral people have been in here who did d-r-u -d16:50
schangGargravarr it did on my family laptop but that was not big deal I've reinstalled16:50
schangGargravarr happened on a prod server in my lab .... :(16:50
schangbut backup worked :)16:51
Gargravarr...why were you trying to even DRY-RUN upgrading a prod server?! :P16:51
taiebotmight do a bug report seems very odd going to #ubuntu-bugs16:51
schangGargravarr I was expecting the imaginary dry-run to start doing downlaod only16:51
Gargravarrtaiebot: what happens if you switch to a TTY (Ctrl+Alt+F2) and login? Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get back16:52
Gargravarrschang: but on a /prod/ server? ;) i wouldn't even touch a prod server for that, would be on a completely unused VM16:52
taiebotgargravarr: F2 and F1 do not work anymore it's F3 to F716:53
mattflycan someone help me with an hibernations issue on ubuntu 18.04 ?16:53
taiebotWhen i click enter i do F7 and F1 i can see authentication fails16:53
Gargravarrtaiebot: interesting, graphical is F1 on my laptop, F2-F6 for TTYs16:53
naccGargravarr: schang: also what do you mean by 'dry run' here? d-r-u does not have such an option16:53
mattflyi get stuck on snapshooting system s2disk16:53
Gargravarrnacc: he found that out the hard way16:53
schangGargravarr I don't always d-r-u -d, when I do, I do it in prod :)16:54
Gargravarrschang: :D16:54
naccGargravarr: my point being it wasn't about 'dry-run' or not, it was about not understanding options to tools, doing things as root, etc. on a production server.16:55
schangnacc when I say a prod server it's not like it's running Facebook or Twitter on it, just a lab server that is used by a small team16:56
Gargravarrnacc: as was my point, too. we already told him about reading the man-pages first16:56
stewart311Been using 18.04LTS and wondered if anyone else has experience top right icons disappearing for skype etc, if I perform alt+f2 and r to reset the gui they will appear again16:57

jack3 Hello.  Ubuntu 16.  ran out of space. deleted some logs, space not reclaimed.  Googled.  Found lots.  Most start with this:   lsof +L1  to find files held open.   But when I run that command... it finds nothing.   Not yet found what to do when that happens.   Help with how to reclaim space would be greatly appreciated.17:01
naccjack3: *where* did you run out of space17:02
jack3what do you mean?17:02
naccjack3: you say you ran out of space -- how did you notice?17:02
jack3on the shell.  can't save files17:02
naccjack3: pastebin `df -h` output17:02
jack3nacc:  it's about 8 lines.  ok to post that many here, now?17:03
naccjack3: no.17:03
naccjack3: use a pastebin as i said17:03
jack3ah.. yes, you did17:03
jack3brb17:03
Gargravarrthe bot will quickly de-voice you if you paste long lines17:03
jack3nacc:  http://paste.tclhelp.net/?id=6e0h17:04
Gargravarrokay, so a VM with one partition, / is full17:04
naccjack3: this is a VM?17:04
pr3c0git has to be a vm17:04
jack3nacc:  probably.  it is a friends shell.17:04
naccpr3c0g: while I appreciate your assertion, let's let the user tell us their configuration.17:05
Gargravarrjack3: 4.9GB is quite small for a graphical system. could you ask them to increase the VHD?17:05
naccGargravarr: how do you know they run a graphical system?17:05
jack3I don't "do" znc,  and I strongly suspect that is where his problem is/was.  (I do eggdrop).  he has shut down znc, and I've wacked some really old znc logs.   still have no space.17:05
Borw3This new kernels of 4.15.... No wifi driver is compiling :(17:05
jack3Gargravarr:  graphics??   no graphics17:05
naccjack3: can you pastebin `du -h --max-depth=1`17:06
naccjack3: it may take a bit to finish17:06
Gargravarrokay, my bad, i thought you meant saving files graphically17:06
jack3nacc:  give me a min17:06
naccjack3: err, from /17:06
naccjack3: and you've run `sync` after manually deleting files?17:06
jack3no idea what sync is.   so: No17:06
Gargravarrjack3: sync is a command that waits until the disk queues are flushed - OSes frequently background large writes, so when 'sync' finishes, everything is done17:07
naccjack3: run it, twice, from the command line17:07
jack3nacc:   any command line switches?      or just :  sync17:07
Gargravarrjust sync17:07
jack3done.  nothing.  just returned me to command line17:08
naccjack3: now check your df output again?17:08
Gargravarrokay, so deletes are indeed finished17:08
Borw3Seriously no one using rt3290 wifi drivers here? If anyone is using it with Ubuntu 18.04 please post link to your driver please17:08
jack3nacc: that one line is still 0% avail  and 100% used17:08
naccjack3: ok17:09
jack3nacc:  still need that pastebin?    (not sure how to do that.. it would soooo many lines )17:09
Gargravarrnot with '--max-depth'17:09
naccBorw3: isn't that the rt2800pci driver?17:09
Gargravarrbasically want to see which is the biggest folder under root17:09
jack3Gargravarr:  we are not root anyway17:10
jack3as for this user,  biggest dir is the znc  dir17:10
naccjack3: uh ... you aren't root and want to free up disk space possibly outside of your home dir?17:10
Borw3nacc: That 2800pci is for rt2860 or rt28xx devices, it works on rt3290 too but network strength is low, and disconnects often.17:10
jack3nacc:  no17:10
naccjack3: ok, as your user, whatever, `du -sh` from their home dir17:11
tgm4883Running 18.04. I have a USB headset. I see the device added in pulseaudio control, but I can't set it as a recording or output device17:11
Gargravarrjack3: hmm, you said znc is generating lots of logs. is znc still running? it could be eating up space as fast as you're freeing it17:11
naccBorw3: afaict, that's the driver in Ubuntu (based upon looking at the source)17:11
jack3 is znc still running?  <<< no.  we shut it down17:11
naccBorw3: dunno if there's a third party driver you are referring to17:11
tgm4883This is a fresh install. Oddly enough, it works fine on the desktop I upgraded from 17.1017:11
irwissare you running some copy on write filesystem may be?17:11
jack3nacc:    now  547M   (was something like 602M  before I deleted some old logs)17:12
Borw3nacc: All 3rd party drivers that I used to use on 16.04 fail on 18.04.. doing research I see that it's cause of the new kernel 4.15, doesn't even matter what distro one uses17:12
Gargravarrjack3: something does seem to be filling up your disk as fast as youre clearing space17:12
jack3Gargravarr:  that 547  doesn't change17:12
=== Panoptes is now known as Aztec03
naccjack3: well, clearing 50M when you are out of disk space is probably not going to solve the problem17:13
naccjack3: if something is writing to the disk17:13
MosesPartswe need a 3 day code sprint to correct some bugs17:13
naccBorw3: well, 16.04 totally unrelated to 18.04 in this regard, so that's a red herring17:13
MosesPartsdo we just use trello instead of jira for that sort of code sprint?17:13
naccMosesParts: 'we' is the wrong channel for that disucssion, this is the support channel17:13
naccMosesParts: are you in the wrong channel?17:14
jack3nacc: right.   we got some advice on znc,  etc.  and i have some ideas about setting up  a cron job with find, to wack fiels older than xx days (need to review my stuff that I looked up, wehn I set it up for an eggdrop, a long time ago)17:14
jack3but..  need some elbow room17:14
Borw3nacc: Even once 16.04 started using 4.13 kernel, the drivers failed, I had to do some coding just to make it work on 4.13 kernel, but now on 4.15 there is no hopes17:14
naccBorw3: right, where did you get those out of tree drivers from? ubuntu packages?17:15
MosesPartsnacc what if i am a coder for linux 18?17:15
naccMosesParts: then you're in the wrong channel; also you are proving you are not17:15
Borw3nacc: No LOL... third party git repos17:15
naccMosesParts: 'linux 18' is nothing.17:15
naccBorw3: then it's not an ubuntu support topic ...17:15
MosesPartsnacc linux 18 is the new linux17:15
Borw3nacc: But it's ubuntu I am running that has shitty driver support for rt3290sta :(... how's that not related to ubuntu?17:16
naccMosesParts: I don't know what you are talking about, but I'm assuming you are trolling and will ignore you now. Have a nice day.17:16
ImageJPEGI will never understand Ubuntu and why after a reboot, IPv6 works again.17:16
MosesPartsnacc that is rude17:16
naccBorw3: no, *Linux* does not support your hardware, afaict. That's not Ubuntu's fault17:16
pavlosMosesParts: the current release is ubuntu 18.04 ... linux is a generic term17:17
jack3nacc :  still with me?17:17
naccBorw3: and I didn't say it wasn't related to Ubuntu, I said it's not a support topic17:17
naccjack3: yep17:17
MosesPartspavlos ok so the same thing?17:17
jack3:)17:17
naccpavlos: and they clearly are not an Ubuntu developer if they don't know that, so they are trollling.17:17
Borw3nacc: So you are saying I should ditch UBUNTU and linux as a whole for windblows? xD17:17
naccBorw3: I'm not saying anything :)17:17
naccBorw3: Use hardware that is well-supported, would be my first suggestion17:18
naccBorw3: don't use stuff that requires out of tree drivers unless you want to deal with stuff like this all the time, would be my second17:18
Borw3nacc: Man windows 10 has better support for old hardware than Linux xD....... what a shame17:18
naccBorw3: afaict, this isn't "old hardware"17:18
brenster21so i am trying to mount my window parition to ubuntu. it is ntfs.17:19
Borw3rt3290sta drivers are from way back when 2.6 Kernel was a hit xD17:19
kauaeae17:19
kauahiiii17:19
kauahello17:19
Gargravarrbrenster21: you will probably need the 'ntfs-3g' package installed17:19
naccBorw3: does 14.04 work on your device?17:19
brenster21already have it17:19
Gargravarrbrenster21: okay, cool. what's not working with it?17:20
Borw3nacc: 14.04 works, atleast it allows me to compile those wifi drivers no issues :D17:20
brenster21says it is read only file system17:20
Borw3Even 12.0417:20
naccBorw3: use that? it's supported for another year17:20
Gargravarrbrenster21: this is usually the case. have you mounted it read/write in the past?17:20
naccBorw3: I'm not convinced in any way that making out of tree drivers work is anyone's responsibility but your own (certainly not an ubuntu support topic)17:20
jack3am I supposed to be doing something?   are you waiting for me?17:21
Gargravarrbrenster21: there is also the issue that ntfs-3g will refuse to mount a filesystem, or will mount in r/o mode only, when the filesystem is detected as having errors and needs Windows to run chkdisk17:21
Borw3nacc: But its a common wifi driver .... I think majority HP probooks use the rt3290sta drivers17:21
brenster21ah17:21
brenster21thanks gargravarr17:21
ioriabrenster21, and be sure to have halted windows correctly17:22
naccjack3: you don't have any root access to the VM?17:22
pavlosbrenster21: https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/mounting-windows-partition-onto-ubuntu-linux/17:22
Gargravarr^ #1 cause of NTFS partition problems is bad shutdowns17:22
jack3nacc: no root, no sudo17:22
naccjack3: probably not solve-able without it, tbh; your user is not using sufficient disk space, afaict17:22
brenster21turns out it was mounted and i was trying to access the wrong drive17:22
Gargravarrthat would also do it...17:23
jack3your user is not using sufficient disk space, afaict  <<   lost me17:23
naccjack3: did you check what lsof says? (e.g., lsof /home/<user> ?)17:23
Gargravarrjack3: the files you have access to aren't big enough that deleting them would make a difference17:23
naccjack3: or you're not deleting enough of them, it's not clear17:23
naccjack3: or, as you said, they are still open by some process17:23
jack3nacc> jack3: did you check what lsof says? (e.g., lsof /home/<user> ?)  <<<  with some switch, yes.  It was in my first post17:24
jack3<nacc> jack3: or, as you said, they are still open by some process <<< that's what I found, googling.  but, the directions I found.. to find the open files,  finds nothing17:24
naccjack3: no switches, does it output anyhitng17:24

jack3I need some elbow room, to work17:38
naccjack3: delete more17:39
jack3it is not recognizing that files were deleted17:39
naccjack3: i think -- i am really not sure17:39
naccjack3: no, it says you have some disk space, but not enough17:39
jack3nacc:  ok17:39
jack3it does?17:39
naccjack3: i wonder if you are low on inodes17:39
iseneRunning update-manager but 18.04 does not show up as an alternative to install. Why?17:39
jack3nacc:  inodes?17:39
jack3it says you have some disk space, but not enough  << where?   I see 0%17:40
naccjack3: look at the actual numbers17:40
jack3where?  direct me17:40
naccjack3: in your pastebin where you see 0%17:40
naccjack3: df -i, please17:40
naccisene: what version are you running?17:40
jack3in your pastebin where you see 0% << right.  it says 0%17:40
naccjack3: and look at the *actual* numbers, not the percentage value (which is derived)17:41
marcanuynacc, rmadison is great didn't know about it. Your suggestion worked thanks a lot17:41
naccmarcanuy: yw17:41
naccmattfly: python-pyqt5.qtwebkit ?17:41
marcanuynacc, one more thing, do you know if upgrading again to bionic will prevent the other possible incompatibilities to happen?17:41
jack3nacc: are you trying to say   size 4.9G   and   used 4.7G  ?17:41
naccjack3: yes.17:41
mattflyqt 417:41
naccmattfly: not supported in 18.04, i don't think17:41
jack3nacc: ok17:42
jack3nacc:   http://paste.tclhelp.net/?id=6e0l17:42
mattflyi need qt4 for qgis openlayers plugin on qgis17:42
naccmattfly: then use 16.0417:42
mattflyhaha i wont switch ubuntu just for that Oo17:42
Pwnnawhere's the .Xauthority file in Ubuntu 18.0417:42
mattflyisnt there a workaround?17:42
jack3<jack3> nacc: are you trying to say   size 4.9G   and   used 4.7G  ?  << honestly, I don't remember now, if they were both 4.9G  before I deleted some files.17:42
isenenacc: I'm running 17.1017:42
tac_Hi all. Is there a command line tool for querying which version of a shared library you have in your link path?17:43
naccisene: upgrades will be offered once the upgrades are free of some critical bugs17:43
sere_how do i install gksu in 18.0417:43
nacctac_: in your link path or your load path?17:43
tac_err17:43
isenenacc: Ah, OK. ETA?17:43
naccisene: for 17.10, soonish17:43
tac_Yeah. Basically, which version of the library gets linked to at runtime17:43
tac_is what I want to know17:43
nacctac_: runtime doesn't do linking...17:43
nacctac_: you mean loading :)17:44
tac_It's a fancy linking in my mind. But I'll try to use the right terminology :)17:44
nacctac_: ldd on a binary17:44
nacctac_: will show you what library will get loaded for all dynamic loaded libraries -- it will miss things that are dlopened, of course17:44
=== mkv is now known as m4v
tac_Yeah, I vaguely remember that command. I guess that also suggests that binaries can request particular versions, can't they.17:45
tac_I guess I'm actually looking to find all versions of a library installed.17:45
naccmattfly: there is libqtwebkit4 but no python bindings, afaict17:45
jack3nacc:  you caught that last post of a pastebin link?17:45
pavlossere_: you should use pkexec ... gksu not in bionic17:45
tac_I can search the path manually for .so.* files I suppose17:45
sere_pavlos: ahh ok thanks17:46
nacctac_: well, they would be linked to specific ABI requirements (SOVERSION/SONAME)17:46
pavlossere_: https://madebits.github.io/#blog/2018/2018-04-24-Gksu-Is-Dead-Long-Live-Pkexec.md17:46
nacctac_: you can search the various possible paths, which may or may not be in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH17:46
nacctac_: why do you want to do this?17:46
naccjack3: yeah you're fine on inodes17:47
naccjack3: and you're sure znc is dead?17:47
jack3I didn't even google to find out what inodes is.  heh17:47
tac_nacc, I'm trying to automate the querying of which versions of cuda, cudnn, and a few other libs we have installed on various boxes17:47
jack3nacc:   this is less than a minute old:      http://paste.tclhelp.net/?id=6e0m17:47
nacctac_: how are you installing them?17:48
tac_which may (frustratingly) have been installed in different ways17:48
nacctac_: ah17:48
tac_yeah :(17:48
naccjack3: what about ps aux ?17:49
jack3will do.  one moment17:49
jack39 tons of sh*t.    ok to do   ps aux |grep znc  ?17:49
nacctac_: i mean, it seems fragile. What if someone puts the libs in their home dir and sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH manually?17:49
jack39 tons of sh*t.    ok to do   ps aux |grep username   ?17:49
naccjack3: ok17:49
jack3sorry17:49
jack3pick one17:50
naccjack3: well, i want to know if znc is running17:50
jack39 tons of sh*t.    ok to do   ps aux |grep znc  ?   << this one then?17:50
naccjack3: yes17:50
tac_nacc, yeah. This is why I was hoping there might, by chance, be a command that let me pretend like it was a simple task :)17:50
tac_but if not, no worries. I might still be able to make use of ldd for this17:50
jack3nacc:  http://paste.tclhelp.net/?id=6e0n17:51
jack3nacc:  ok?17:54
naccjack3: why not just make a snapshot of the VM and then trash it?17:54
jack3I don't know if he's interested in that.   I figured that it was some simple thing,  to get linux to recognize free space17:55
jack3and, with google,  it seems like it is a common thing.   it's just that what I found, doesn't apply17:55
nacctac_: check `ldconfig -p` ?17:56
jack3so I figured that there is some trick to it... and presto.. here I am.   :)17:56
naccjack3: have you disabled znc from starting on reboot?17:56
jack3and.. by trash it... if you mean to simply delete everything...   by all indications,  we'd still be right where we are...  no available space.17:56
tac_oooooh nacc thanks!17:56
tac_That one is worth writing down17:56
jack3nacc> jack3: have you disabled znc from starting on reboot?  <<< my guess is that it was never enabled,  since it has not come back.17:57
naccjack3: have you rebooted since you clearedout the 50M or so of files?17:57
jack3nacc: he's gone home from work..  way diff time zone..  I won't be able to talk to him until tomorrow.17:57
jack3<nacc> jack3: have you rebooted  <<<  now?    am not root17:57
jack3how*17:57
naccjack3: this VM has never been rebooted?17:58
jack3nacc:  ever?     beats me17:58
naccjack3: I feel like something is missing here, some critical bit of information17:58
naccjack3: then reboot it the way they do normally17:58
jack3nacc:  I agree17:58
naccjack3: honestly, this doesn't seem like worth support time :)17:58
jack3nacc:   I doubt he has a "normal" way to reboot it.17:58
naccand I've got other stuff to do now17:58
jack3he just has a shell there17:58
jack3nacc> jack3: honestly, this doesn't seem like worth support time :)  <<< really???17:58
naccjack3: right, a shell on a system where he possibly has filled up the disk of the system (if that is what you have been asserting). and is unwilling to delete files in order to free up space17:59
jack3wrong17:59
naccjack3: or wants to keep 'some' files, which is the same as being unwilling17:59
jack3wrong again17:59
jack3e he possibly has filled up the disk   <<<  did that,  and thats why I've deleted a bunch of files18:00
=== _ts is now known as w4|k3r
jack3and that space is simply not being recognized18:00
jack3and is unwilling to delete files in order to free up space  << already did a lot of that18:00
jack3that's why I'm here18:00
jack3:)18:00
exarkungsd-media-keys says "unable to get default sink" and volume knob on keyboard now does nothing... what's up?18:00
isenePosted this also to #dragonflybsd, but wondered if anyone here could have some input; Have been thinking about trying out DragonflyBSD for some time. Got a few hours of spare time. Running Ubuntu 17.10 on a Dell XPS15 currently. Did download the live USB image ( dd if=dfly-x86_64-5.2.0_REL.img of=/dev/sda1 ) and the boot sequence is set to DragonflyBSD as #1 and Ubuntu as #2 - but it boots straight into18:00
isenegrub/Ubuntu. Any debugging tips?18:00
jack3nacc: if you have some number in mind...   10M ?     I'll go find that much in files, and delete it,  and we can see if that makes a difference18:01
=== matlock_ is now known as matlock
jaga__jageesh18:02
jack3nacc:  so... are you done?18:03
naccjack3: what fs is this?18:03
naccjack3: filesystem, i mean18:03
jack3nacc: don't know.  tell me how to check18:03
naccjack3: mount18:03
jack3brb18:03
jack3tons of stuff... is there a line for me to look for?18:03
naccjack3: you're hitting the reserved space on the disk (~5%), i think, which is reserved for root18:04
naccjack3: well, the disk you care about, of course18:04
jack3how do I know which that is?18:04
naccjack3: ... df -h told you what disk is full18:04
jack3is this it?   from   df -h   /dev/vda1       4.9G  4.7G     0 100% /18:05
jack3ok18:05
jack3nacc:    /dev/vda1 on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered)18:05
jack3from    mount18:05
jack3is that enough?18:05
naccjack3: yes, ext4 reserves 5% as i said18:05
naccso you haven't cleared up enough space18:05
jack3how much more do you figure?18:05
naccjack3: i don't know18:05
jack3how do I figure it?18:05
mattflyis there a way i can install and hold the old pyqt4 from xenial on bionic?18:05
jack35 % of what?18:06
naccjack3: you can drop the -h flag from df, delete some files,sync;sync and see if the disk usage goes down18:06
naccjack3: the filesystem size18:06
naccmattfly: no.18:06
mattflyheh why not?18:06
jack3<nacc> jack3: the filesystem size  << how do we get that?18:06
naccmattfly: not in a supported way18:06
naccjack3: ... the size from df?18:06
mattflyim not looking for supported ways?18:06
naccjack3: you are asking some *very* basic sysadmin questions18:06
naccmattfly: this is the official support channel18:07
jack3nacc:  good.  I'm not a sysadmin.18:07
jack3ok..  one moment..  will be right back18:07
naccjack3: as in, i dont' have time to handhold you on what a filesystem is, which is what in effect i'm doing right now18:07
jack3what channel do you recommend, that might be able to assist with this?18:08
naccjack3: honestly, delete some files, see if you actually free space, you'll probably need to free a relatively significant amount18:08
jack3<nacc> jack3: honestly, delete some files,  <<<  I have.     Other times, other places,  when this happens,  even deleteing a tiny amount, and it recognized, instantly.18:08
jack3give me a min, and I'll delete some more.  brb18:09
naccjack3: when you've been at the full filesystem limit?18:09
jack3yes18:09
naccjack3: see if the file you deleted was open, see if anything is writing to the disk, etc.18:09
zzzhi. im having trouble with php7.2 on ubuntu 16.04, my /run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock file is missing18:09
jack3<nacc> jack3: see if the file you deleted was open,  <<< I think this is where we started18:09
nacczzz: php7.2 is not supported on 16.0418:10
jack3the stuff I found with google,  I tried, and found nothing18:10
jack3see if anything is writing to the disk,  << how?18:10
naccjack3: iotop18:10
naccjack3: or other similar tools18:10
jack3iotop is not installed18:10
naccjack3: also, you don't know if there is someting trying to log something as /var/log/... which is filling up disk as you free it18:11
naccjack3: as i've said a few times, not being root might make this unsolveable18:11
jack3wouldn't the numbers returned with   df -h  show that?18:11
naccjack3: what do you mean?18:11
oerheksman df, humanly readable18:12
jack3which is filling up disk as you free it  <<<   wouldn't the free space shown with df -h   trend down, if soemthing was constantly filling it?18:12
naccjack3: not if you're at 0 free18:12
naccjack3: if you're at 0 free, and the moment you free disk, something consumes it, you would just always see 0 free...18:12
acetakwasHow do I privately share a 15MB text file professionally? (Their email server has a policy preventing sending a file of this size.)18:12
jack3that 4.7G used wouldn't go back up?18:12
naccjack3: no, as i said, that's the maxium you can use (if you're not root)18:12
jack3ok18:12
naccjack3: the 5% remaining is reserved18:13
naccacetakwas: not really an ubuntu support topic?18:13

naccWeirdTolkienishF: do you have a support topic?18:13
acetakwaspavlos::  Could you suggest one?18:13
WeirdTolkienishFno just wondering18:13
jack3nacc:   then if nothing can use it,  then nothing is using it18:13
jaga__that .iso file is not in the whonix18:13
pavlosacetakwas: google drive, AWS, ...18:14
naccjack3: you are at the limit of usable disk space for your user. You delete some files, and at the same time, some *other* process writes to somewhere else on the filesystem. You never free up space on the disk.18:14
naccjack3: what aren't you understanding?18:14
jack3nacc:  just removed 34M of files.  no change18:14
naccjack3: did you check without -h ?18:14
jack3check the 34M  or the free space?18:15
naccWeirdTolkienishF: we don't do polling here18:15
jaga__yooo hoo18:15
zzznacc: i see. thanks18:15
naccjack3: what? run df without -h.18:15
naccjack3: what .iso file and what is 'whonix'?18:15

jaga__hi nacc18:15
naccjack3: and, as i said before, see whether the actual bytes changed when you removed files18:16
naccjack3: -h is rounding so its readable18:16
WeirdTolkienishFnacc was just trying to make friendly conversation?18:16
acetakwaspavlos::  I don't know if it's professional to share the Google spreadsheet link to the document.18:16

jack3is that it?18:16
pavlosacetakwas: that's up to you.18:16
naccjack3: right, which i think i suggested before; also make sure to run sync;sync after the deletion18:16

jaga__.iso file is not found in whonix os well we all has .iso file in linux os but instead of that .voc file is available in whonix  can any one eloborate to me18:17
WeirdTolkienishFThis is an outrageous response, nacc18:17
naccjaga__: what is whonix? this is the channel for ubuntu support, not random questions. Did you maybe want ##linux?18:17
naccWeirdTolkienishF: what is?18:17
WeirdTolkienishFabsolutely outrageous18:17
WeirdTolkienishFdisgraceful18:17
naccWeirdTolkienishF: perhaps you are overreacting to something, or misunderstanding. Chitchat goes elsewhere.18:18

Warning: Identity file  '/home/cs/.ssh/etcplanet.pem' cs@etcplanet.org not accessible: No such file or directory. It is behaving like it is *ignoring* the quotes around the PEM file and taking entire $E as the -i arg..why?18:50
GargravarrKon-: it should be in /usr/share/grub/default/grub18:50
Kon-Thanks Gargravarr. Is this a functional copy, or do I need to create one in /etc/?18:52
nacctheseb: can you use a pastebin?18:53
GargravarrKon-: that should be the file that APT would install. you should be able to just copy it into /etc/default/ and it'll work18:53
nacctheseb: the actual messages and line breaks matter here18:53

riotzyou exchange xorg for wayland21:06

riotzi dont remember if the naming is still the same on 18.0421:11
riotzthis is from 17.10 but you will figure out.. one will say xorg or wayland21:11
enissayibeekman: Done, I had a bad copy/cat21:12
enissay:o21:12
vavkamilit says "ubuntu" and "ubuntu on wayland"21:13
riotzhehe.. yeah that was my guess.. naming got changed a bit21:13
tac_Speaking of Xorg and Wayland, I have a general windowing question. We have a product with a UI running on Linux. If we want to lock down the system so we basically have a single full-screen application with nothing else accessible, what's an appropriate platform/library to target?21:13
thinkyback21:14
thinkythere were 2 options -ubuntu - ubuntu on wayland21:14
thinkyi chose -ubuntu on wayland21:14
tac_I get the feeling we would just want to run X without a window manager21:14
thinkyi dont feel any difference at all21:14
riotzhmm21:14
thinkywhat is the difference and advantages?21:14
thinkyit is exactly same look and nothing changed21:15
riotzwayland is the new bread.. whereas xorg is like 15 years old and a big mess like a lot of devs call it21:15
thinkyi dont see the difference21:16
riotzbut some things are not verry well supported on wayland now.. like vnc and desktop sharing21:16

nacctranshuman: actually describe your problem, not what you think youa re doing to diagnose it21:21
thinkyi feel like it ruins the original feel21:21
UserUSthinky: yeah, that is high, have you tried unity tweak tool?21:22
thinkybut i dont like original look21:22
thinkyUserUS: unity tweak tool on gnome? O.o21:22
thinkynever thought21:22
thinkyi am on 18.04 atm21:22

nacc*irrelevant21:22
transhumanI am looking for clues why the desktop hangs with all desktops except gnome3 and even that doesnt behave nicely (hangs but actually loads desktop)21:22
riotzthinky, maybe change your theme on the tweak tool?21:22
UserUSnacc: I have 16, so care to explain why?21:22
thinkyriotz: i dont like to play with themes that much21:22
nacctranshuman: what do you mean by 'hangs'? what version of ubuntu? what changed21:23
thinkyi just wanted to move top bar to the bottom that s all21:23

UserUSthinky: that is built into appearance settings, no tweak tools needed21:23

vavkamilI'm using "auto-hide" the dock and it's definitely not that smooth as I'm used too from 16.0421:23

nacctranshuman: so you were on 16.04 and your desktop stopped working?21:23
thinkyUserUS: i cant see that in appearance21:23
transhumanyeah ran out of hard drive space21:23
transhumanits in a vm21:23
thinkyi mean top bar which date time showing21:24
thinkyto the bottom21:24

nacctranshuman: are you still trying to fix this? I feel like it's been at least weeks. Just reinstall21:25
UserUSnacc: so install the dependencies? or is 18 different in some way21:25
naccUserUS: what?21:25
tgm4883UserUS: 18.04 doesn't use Unity anymore21:25
naccUserUS: unity is not installed by default and not use by default in 18.04 (again, not "18")21:25
naccUserUS: it's a rather different desktop experience than 16.0421:25
thinkyUserUS: i am not talking about dock / dash board. i am talking title bar - top bar21:25
UserUSnacc: yes, but it can be. or did they take that away?21:25
naccUserUS: why would you install unity?21:26
UserUSthinky: the top bar you have to change your theme21:26
transhumanI know I am just stubborn, I seem like I am finding possible causes every time I am just about to give up21:26
naccUserUS: it's not the default is all I said. You can install whatever you want of course, but that's not the point here.21:26
thinkyinstead changing theme i used tweak tool21:26
thinkydash to panel extension21:26
nacctranshuman: I think you're wasting your time )21:26
nacc:)21:26
transhumantmp file system seems like a reasonable cause21:26
transhumanok21:26
nacctranshuman: you can look at `systemctl status tmp.mount`, but i doubt it will help you much21:26
UserUSnacc: gotcha, no worries, I was more shocked the idea it couldn't be used lol21:26
nacctranshuman: unless your disk is still full?21:26
transhumanok thanks21:26
riotzanother extension i can recommend is unite21:27
riotzverry usefull on a notebook21:27
naccUserUS: it just wouldn't do anything by default (and is not installed) -- i imagine if you installed it, it would add unity, but then you're not running the default desktop and sort of on your own21:27
tgm4883UserUS: it's not that it can't be used. nacc was stating that installing it wouldn't do anything. It would be like installing kde-tweak-tool on gnome21:27
tgm4883sure you can do it, but don't expect much21:27
UserUSyeah, not much, just little stuff21:27
thinkyriotz: what does it make?21:28
naccUserUS: it wouldn't do anything on 18.0421:28
* tgm4883 still sees that as pointless, but goes back to his Budgie install21:28
UserUSnacc: idk, I have 16 and I can use it to change certain things like windows animations that gnome can't21:29
naccUserUS: right, only true on 16.0421:29
naccUserUS: your 16.04 experience is irrelevant to a fresh 18.0421:29
riotzthinky, Unite is a GNOME Shell extension which makes a few layout tweaks to the top panel and removes window decorations to make it look like Ubuntu Unity Shell.21:29
naccUserUS: and *again* not "16", but 16.04. That is important, please use the correct version number.21:29
tgm4883UserUS: You can use unity tweak tool to change unity settings? Color me surprised21:29
UserUSwell now you're both just getting snippy. peace21:29
thinkyriotz: how can i install it?21:30
riotzthinky, https://extensions.gnome.org21:30
riotzinstall browser extension for your browser then search unity and install that from the webinterface21:30
thinkyriotz: sudo apt install gnome-shell-extensions21:31
riotzuhm yes right.. i dont have install instructions for each and every app in top of my head21:32
thinkyanother thing. how can i disable transparency of the dash board?21:32
riotzno clue.. maybe with dconf-editor21:33

classywhettenyou could try a combo of curl and sudo altinstall23:11
ak_hepcatyes, it's newer than the repo, and the old dev-ppa  isn't maintained anymore23:14
classywhettenwhich package is it? I can write you out a bash script23:15
classywhettenIf it's pidgin they have a guide on their website on how to compile from source. From there you'd just need to make an altinstall23:16
ak_hepcatthere's no  .deb's  for it, so it's a source-build.  never a fun time (though can be done) to deal with, especially WRT migrating from existing packages to source and back to packages.23:17

classywhettenak_hepcat, have you submitted a bug report or gotten in touch with them via launchpad? there's dev packages for bionic and artful, but you just might need to submit a pull request23:22
classywhettenor a bug report23:22
classywhettenBut I do see that the ubuntu packages are pretty far behind the source available on pidgin's website23:23
eaglgenesHow do I make it so that a service indirectly started by a timer counting down from boot isn't counted as a boot process23:25
ak_hepcatyeah.   i'm trying to ressurect my U1 account from years of not using it and not having a good time remembering my email (oh, it knows my username, but can't log in with that!)23:25
eaglgenessystemd assumes it is one, which makes it that much more difficult to diagnose actual boot problems23:25
eaglgenessystemd-analyze says it's not done, even though I'm in the desktop environment23:25
classywhettenmight be a better question for #systemd since it's not a distro specific problem23:26
ELFrederichhow should I install Docker on the newest 18.04?  When I run `docker` on command line it prompts me to either `snap install docker` or `apt install docker.io` and to run `snap info docker` for additional versions23:27
ELFrederichwhich should I do?23:27
classywhettenI try to avoid snaps for things I want to move between devices. What does apt search docker give you in 18.04?23:31
ELFrederichclassywhetten, docker.io/bionic 17.12.1-0ubuntu1 amd6423:38
ELFrederichthat seems newer than the one in snap23:39
classywhettenELFrederich: I would go with the docker.io then23:41
eaglgenesI'm having a bit of a problem getting any response from #systemd23:45
eaglgenesSeems to be almost dead there23:46
FoofersMy 18.04 machine will not completely wake from suspend. The disks/fans spin up, but the screens remain blank. Anyone heard other complaints on this?23:54
