[00:19] hello? === mosh\ is now known as mosh [00:19] Do I have write access? can you see me? [00:20] momken23: we can see you - please be patient, also, it might be helpful to kno exactly what your end-goal is here, as what your asking (at least to me) doesn't seem to explain much [00:21] Thanks. [00:23] I don't think anyone here could answer such an obscure question about windows, but I could be wrong [00:24] anyone knows sql? [00:25] what about it? [00:25] can someone tell me pls what with the WHERE is wrong here? https://hastebin.com/utuhakesex.sql [00:25] I want to "disable driver signature enforcement" in win 10. It is a boot option for Windows like safe mode. But my computer is dual-booted (win10 + Ubuntu). Therefor now the default boot manager is grub. This prevents use of default windows boot manager and therefore no windows boot options are now available! [00:26] momken23, simply switch bootloader in bios? For me possible [00:26] hello [00:26] Why do you even need the boot option for it, the first link on google says you just need to open command prompt and run a bcdedit [00:26] how well does ubuntu arm work for rpi 3B+? [00:27] b3zi: don't think INSERT queries support the WHERE clause [00:27] andy1633, so how do I avoid duplicates then? [00:28] b3zi, How? [00:28] PhazonicRidley: Ubuntu supports the raspberry pi3, for discussion please see our /join #ubuntu-offtopic [00:28] momken23, for me there is an option in bios. But don't know if this is working for you. What do you want do change for win? [00:28] b3zi, the default boot loader of my disk which uses mbr is grub [00:29] b3zi, use a unique constraint or something? depends on the database engine you're using.

For more information see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM . For ARM specific support, stop by the #ubuntu-arm channel. [00:29] b3zi, I want to "disable driver signature enforcement" [00:29] isn't that also possible from system cmd? [00:30] oh ok [00:30] if you boot from win installer → computerrepair → cmd You get a terminal which should be doing it [00:31] Don't even need to do that, just open command prompt from inside windows [00:31] was just asking bc ubuntu mate would not work [00:31] b3zi, should I boot from win DVD then? [00:31] ye [00:31] But make sure it is doable in a cmd [00:32] and also make sure that you don't click on install again [00:32] b3zi, I think it should be. I hope it doesn't replace my grub [00:33] And be aware that the sys terminal is higher in the hirarchy than the admin so don't mess around. I don't think it will replace it [00:34] b3zi, ok thanks ;) [00:45] tes [01:04] After installing ubuntu 18.04 on my server, suddenly certain things like snap and git won't function anymore, with errors like gnutls_handshake() failed: An unexpected TLS packet was received.

[05:46] surprised* [05:47] qwerty: you confuse latest features with security updates [05:48] latest update of a browser can hv securiity fixes too [05:48] qwerty: that doesnt mean a previous browser does not [05:49] Hello. I am on Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS [05:49] no one's getting me :( [05:49] There are newer LTS releases though if I understand correctly. [05:49] qwerty: its your state of mind, that needs a change [05:49] !ltsupgrade | uwjesq [05:49] uwjesq: Upgrades from 16.04 LTS will not be enabled until a few days after the 18.04.1 release expected in late July.

[05:53] qwerty: and we've explained why multiple times now [05:53] thats what u said to me [05:53] uwjesq: 18.04.1 is expected 26-july-2018 - expect update suggestions then https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BionicBeaver/ReleaseSchedule [05:53] latest update has sm minoor bugs (which means unstable lol) [05:54] minor* [05:54] chrome is a bad example though, since ubuntu doesn't have it in its package repositories [05:54] qwerty: older versions of the browser will still be provided with security updates when required. Your concern is security. That explanation addresses your concern. [05:55] google's package repositories for ubuntu has its own policies on when and how to update the chrome browser [05:55] can u put os in place of browser? mr slidinghorn [05:55] where is linuxmint 19 beta? [05:55] !mint | Guest30509 [05:56] Guest30509: The Ubuntu channels can only provide support for Ubuntu and its official flavors, since other distributions and derivatives have repository and software changes. So please use their dedicated support venues, for example: Linux Mint (#linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org), Kali Linux (#kali-linux), and LXLE (#lxle) [05:56] ubuntu 16.04 lts for e.g [05:57] qwerty: security updates for the software contained in 16.04 are maintained and provided through the life of the release. Newer *versions* (read: features) are available on the 18.04 release, but that doesn't mean that you're necessarily more secure using the version in the 18.04 release than the 16.04 release [05:58] qwerty: as lotuspsychje said earlier - you're confusing "new features" for being "more secure" and that's simply not the case. [06:00] thx , tq so much for ur support. it really helped me to understand thing thing called" linux".

I didn't know about such shorthand with IPv4 addresses [08:07] Tegu: me neither :D [08:09] Hi! Trying to find information around the net about multitouch support (on touchpad and touchscreen) in current release. I guess I know the said situation, but could one confirm: while with unity you could get multitouch gestures to work, with current gnome based 18.04 only two finger scrolling on the touchpad is what's working. [08:09] read the documentation to TCP IP then ^^ [08:09] for some reason, when I try to manually run lvchange -a y swap_1 [08:09] it hangs [08:09] but if I kill -9 it [08:09] then run it again [08:09] tytan: please link the corresponding documentation or standard if there is one [08:09] it exits immediately, and the LV is activated. [08:10] Norux: I'm sorry, but I dont know how to help you with that right now [08:10] * tytan if there is one ... lmao [08:10] tytan: okay thanks anyways. [08:11] Maybe EriC^^ can help? [08:11] okay, this steered me towards man page of inet_aton https://www.reddit.com/r/networking/comments/7cf0zp/documentation_of_the_behavior_of_shorthand_ipv4/ [08:11] + [08:12] and it indeed documents the notation. but they say that it's not based on a standard [08:12] the reddit page, that is. the manpage does not mention standards [08:13] it gets even more interesting for ipv6 ... well standard is a strange term anyways. what is standard? something that we all can use is standard to me at least. [08:14] well, at least the usage of of :: in IPv6 addresses is documented in an RFC: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4291#section-2.2 [08:15] anyhow, back to your pinging and network unreachable :) [08:16] Tegu: I'd imagine the behaviour of 1.1 is documented in the POSIX standard, since all POSIX platforms I am aware of, does the same. [08:18] Tegu: Hey, I just found out that "ping 1.1" is not defined in the ipv4 standard. This is more like a system functionality. Sorry for causing confusion [08:18] how to change max open files in ubuntu [08:19] tytan: fixed my internet connection. /etc/network/interfaces was not configured right. [08:20] Norux: damn that was too easy. what was missing? a gateway? [08:20] I assume you just didn't get an ip adress since you couldn't ping the client [08:21] Hmm [08:21] tytan: The wrong interface was configured for dhcp. I don't know much about that stuff though [08:22] Norux: dw, you're on it. [08:22] Hi guys! I'm currently in 18.04 (upgraded from 16.04), but I'm experiencing so much issues that I just want to reinstall everything. Currently I have dual boot with Windows 10, but now I just want to install Ubuntu alone. What's the best way to do this? [08:24] sondre: first, definitely do a backup of your data [08:24] sondre: download ubuntu > install > select entire disk > follow instructions [08:25] Norux: Yes, I've done backup on everything I want to keep [08:25] sondre: well then you're good, go ahead and follow tytan's instructions [08:25] tytan: So just like a normal install and boot with usb? [08:25] wha? select entire disk? wouldn't that delete the existing windows 10 as well? [08:26] sondre: yes, you can then choose how much disk space is used [08:26] Tegu: isn't that what he wants? [08:26] no [08:26] "... but now I just want to install Ubuntu alone" [08:26] sondre: do you want to overwrite your existing windows installation with ubuntu, or do you want to still have dual boot [08:27] Tegu: Sorry! I ment what tytan said. I don't need windows anymore [08:27] oh, okay [08:27] alone = just ubuntu without win10 I guess [08:27] ok, apparently, that whole thing with swap_1 not being activated was just the recovery environment? [08:27] sondre: you can proceed by simply installing from usb/cd/whatever then :+1: [08:27] I thought that (re)installing ubuntu alone and not windows 10 [08:27] however, it looks like the kernel cannot resume from this swap partition :-/ [08:30] Thanks! Then i'll proceed with that and live a happy life :D === CQ2 is now known as CQ [08:30] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox-ext-pack/+bug/1767402 ...can someone with commit privs look at this? it seems to be a simple fix...

Any help is appreciated. [08:35] does your bios have a EFI and legacy boot mode option? [08:35] spikebike: Secure Boot is off in the BIOS, but option to boot UEFI first is enabled [08:36] legacy is allowed of course [08:36] When it fails I often try the legacy install (not the EFI install) [08:36] I've tried the installation process several times with no avail [08:37] EFI and non? [08:37] mokutil --enable-validation? tekko [08:37] I haven't tried Legacy [08:38] sondre thanks, will try [08:38] any other ideas? [08:38] Try to boot in recovery mode, then in cli to enable secure boot just write mokutil --enable-validation. It worked for me atleast [08:40] sondre GRUB won't start at all [08:41] sondre I can only boot from USB [08:41] any ideas about how I can figure out why I can't resume from a swap partition on lvm?

If you do go the -d route, though, make sure you back up your system [09:16] do you think data loss is likely? [09:21] Lorphos: I have no idea - I just know that if I were upgrading in an unsupported manner, I'd be sure to back up anything I would be upset that I lost [09:21] can't hurt for sure [09:34] SlidingHorn, Lorphos: always backup before any upgrade [09:35] i destroyed my grub once because my computer crashed during `update-grub` [09:35] And, you know, regularly regardless of upgrades … ;-) [09:35] bkhl: that, too :D === Mr_Pan is now known as Guest83370 [09:41] !repairgrub [09:41] !grubrepair [09:41] MonkeyDust: ubottu is resting [09:42] seems so [09:43] MonkeyDust: this might be what you were looking forhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [09:45] Hello, i have a question : i have a hostapd AP running on a Banana Pi and redirecting all the wlan trafic to Tor (all is working).

I would do a simple test and change the Exec line to something different, like gnome-terminal [10:25] see if that opens firefox or gnome-terminal [10:25] Okay [10:26] when pinned as favorite app [10:26] Rebooting to see if that changes anything [10:30] I'm reading the dev guide to install android studio on linux here https://developer.android.com/studio/install#linux and I don't understand one thing.

[12:01] EriC^^, E: Package 'linux-modules-4.15.0-20-generic' has no installation candidate [12:02] s10gopal: you have to enable the proposed repository [12:02] hi [12:02] http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/6THj8ZVdbG/ [12:02] Hi guys... I've run into a problem which I believe is related to the emoji support in 18.04. Numbers do not display correctly in Chrome. Will look into whether the same is true in firefox [12:02] leftyfb, i dont know [12:03] yep. SAme is true in Firefox [12:03] s10gopal: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed first result on google for "Ubuntu proposed" [12:03] s10gopal: 7:57 < s10gopal> Bugzie, apt -f, wtf does apt -f do? [12:04] Bugzie: man apt [12:04] Bugzie, i mean apt install -f [12:04] basically, numbers appear as a different font and size, white, with a light grey outline. They're almost entirely invisible against a white background [12:04] I'd like to know what apt -f do? [12:05] Bugzie: then read the man page [12:05] im stuck with gnome-calendar asking for and old calendar password, it is a shared google calendar [12:05] You can't explain what it does? [12:05] I'd rather remove, but do not see a delete button [12:05] remove it* [12:06] Bugzie: it fixes problems. Read the man page if you want more detail [12:06] What problems does it fix? [12:06] Bugzie, apt -f is nothing [12:06] Bugzie: read the man page for apt-get [12:07] Bugzie: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/kgRFfGRjWs/ [12:07] Is it? What does apt -f do? [12:07] Bugzie: stop trolling [12:07] No, I like to know what exactly waht apt -f does [12:07] Bugzie, do this and read: man apt [12:07] Instead of pointing to man page, how about explain what it does [12:07] Bugzie: "apt -f" does ansolutely nothing as it's not a valid command. If you want to know what "apt install -f" or "apt-get install -f" does, then read the man page for apt-get [12:07] Bugzie: Then rtfm, it will explain it [12:07] it is not present in man apt [12:08] https://gyazo.com/b9388c81ed102c0017896d8edf5bc564 [12:08] RTFM, is what #ubutune is? [12:08] I am sorry I disagree [12:09] Bugzie: I told you what it does. If you want more detail, read the man page. I am not going to copy and paste it for you. [12:09] this ^^^^ [12:09] leftyfb, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed is for ubuntu 16 , i am on 14 [12:09] 08:06 < leftyfb> Bugzie: it fixes problems. Read the man page if you want more detail [12:09] fixes problems? [12:09] Is there a way to "mirror" a directory/file TO another folder? I want to , I want I want to Sync certain folders (~/Documents/Uni ~/Document/books ~/Downloads/torrents etc) I don't want to upload the whole folder just sub folders. I want to be able to add files to ~/Documents/Uni or ~/Documents/books and it be automatically uploaded to ownCloud's structure. Easiest way would be if I could "mirror" the folders in the [12:09] ~/ownCloud folder which is attached to the client and will regulate the upload. [12:09] s10gopal: then it is not available. Please post that in the bug [12:10] Bugzie, -f == --fix-broken for apt(-get) [12:10] Bugzie: please troll elsewhere. It's getting really tiresome. [12:10] Wirehunter: thanks [12:10] it doesn't say so in man apt, but it does in apt-get. [12:10] Bugzie, Fix; attempt to correct a system with broken dependencies in place. [12:11] Wirehunter: I already pointed them to the man page for apt-get. But Bugzie is a known troll that does not quit and just wants to sit here and cause drama. [12:12] EriC^^, leftyfb what should i do? [12:12] s10gopal: I told you. Post your issue in the bug report. [12:13] Is there some of setting up Ubuntu to behave as "Debian Testing"? I wanna be immunte to major releases, it always beings me grief. Would rather just upgrade as stuff comes... [12:13] *immune [12:13] s10gopal: jsalisbury will probably need to make up the modules package for you. Also, all this is around Ubuntu 14.04? Have you tried 16.04 or 18.04 to see if the issue is resolveD? [12:14] FinnJ: Ubuntu will never upgrade you to the latest release without your intervention [12:14] leftyfb, battery drain is caused by 0847684cfc5f0 ("PCI / PM: Simplify device wakeup settings code") , which came in 4.13-rc1 and it still exist in upstream [12:14] s10gopal, You're missing linux-base right? [12:14] Yea I know. But you cannot stay on a release forever. So eventually you'll have to upgrade, and to my experience its russian roulette every time. [12:15] Wirehunter, something like that https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/5g8rtx4JfN/ [12:15] s10gopal, have you tried to install that? sudo apt install linux-base [12:15] FinnJ: I don't understand what you're asking. Correct, if you do not upgrade, you do not get the latest release and will not be supported. [12:16] Wirehunter: this is an ongoing issue where s10gopal should be posting all this in the bug report. He's got one of the top kernel team members from Canonical helping him. [12:16] FinnJ, as is the case with every OS. However, if you exercise patience, you can avoid the day 1 bugs. Personally, I use LTS ony and wait for the first xx.1 release before upgrading. suggest you download 16.04, liveboot and test [12:16] leftyfb: with "Debian Testing", you're always getting the "next debian" packages. Regardless of their major release cycle. You kinda just float along. [12:16] So s10gopal is that persorn [12:16] s10gopal: You should be troubleshooting this using 16.04 or 18.04, but you should also be troubleshooting this with jsalisbury in the bug report, not here. [12:17] FinnJ: that's not how Ubuntu works. If you want that, go to Debian. [12:17] Wirehunter, http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/F5dPtYqCtM/ [12:17] Okay, I will help people who actually need help [12:17] leftyfb: Yea ok. Havent seen it either. Was just checking. Thanks :) [12:17] s10gopal: You should be troubleshooting this with jsalisbury in the bug report, not here. [12:18] s10gopal: let jsalisbury know you are running 14.04 and don't have access to the kernel modules package he posted for you to test [12:18] s10gopal, you had already tried to run `sudo apt -f install` right? [12:18] Wirehunter: please see my posts [12:18] Wirehunter, yes [12:19] Wirehunter: this is beyond the scope of this channel. He is going through kernel bisection with jsalisbury from Canonical [12:19] leftyfb: You are not the op of this channel [12:19] Bugzie: you are correct. [12:20] for once [12:20] So, to tell Wirehunter what to do, it's not position for you to say that [12:21] Wirehunter, i am running ubuntu 14.04 lts [12:21] and testing kernel posted on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1745646 [12:21] Launchpad bug 1745646 in linux (Ubuntu Bionic) "Battery drains when laptop is off (shutdown)" [Medium,In progress] [12:21] s10gopal: Do you want your issue resolved? [12:22] leftyfb: If somebody is trolling so hard, wouldn't it be appropriate to report him [12:22] leftyfb, yes [12:22] Norux: it doesn't always do much good here [12:22] Norux: feel free to try [12:22] leftyfb, Ah, I see. [12:22] leftyfb: how? [12:23] Wirehunter: leftyfb are team members? [12:23] s10gopal: then I suggest you continue to work with the top kernel developer from Canonical you've been working with for 3 months and not dilute the troubleshooting process by constantly asking in here how to fix your issue. You are only going to make matters worse [12:23] Is there a way to have a "pointer" to a file in ubuntu? Like a shortcut in windows. But is there also a way to get the "address of the pointer"? I was thinking symlinks but that doesn't do the address thingy [12:24] paddy: https://askubuntu.com/questions/854373/how-to-create-a-desktop-shortcut first result on google for "ubuntu desktop shortcut" [12:24] I was confused, I thought Wirehunter was a independent [12:25] leftyfb, what skills are needed to works as developer in canonical , and can i be one ? [12:25] s10gopal: please post in the bug report and let jsalisbury know the issues you are running into [12:25] s10gopal: https://www.canonical.com/careers [12:25] Hi guys! Reinstalled 18.04 and using driver nvidia 390 with displaylink driver to get monitors up and running, I get this square thing around my cursor. See image -> https://i.imgur.com/QYwAIG8l.jpg. How can I fix this? [12:25] Norux, /ignore nickname will usually remove trolls from view [12:26] leftyfb: I did see that and that's not what I'm asking. I want to create a "symlink" that will mirror files/directories in different files/directories [12:26] paddy: then create a symlink using ln [12:27] cfhowlett: ah thanks. Do you also know how I can report? [12:27] Norux: you can ask in #ubuntu-ops [12:28] Norux, !ops | troll name and crimes will trigger an alert to the operators. use sparingly and for the most egregious crimes [12:28] the ops are well aware of the troll you are referring to [12:28] leftyfb, cfhowlett: ok thanks :) [12:28] Me [12:28] happy2help! [12:29] I am trollling, without proof that I am trolling [12:29] s10gopal, my opinion: the developer knows you are on 14.04 and gives you a pkg not installable there; so you have to make him aware of the problem (or use dpkg --install --ignore-depends) [12:29] ioria, s10gopal, I copied those other dependent packages there now. Just install the linux-modules packages first and that error should go away. [12:29] leftyfb: I am glad your role is minmal [12:29] Norux, it's worth noting that /ignoring trolls will eventually starve them of the attention they crave and they will first attempt to escalate then move on. [12:29] leftyfb: again I do know that but that's not I'm asking. If possible please read carefully. "ln -s" creates a softlink, a the folder structure isn't linked. "ln" hardlinks and can't be done with folders [12:30] s10gopal, we are ok, then [12:30] thx [12:30] cfhowlett: Simply ignoring and silently reporting them is the best way to stop them, right [12:31] Norux: please keep on topic. This channel is for support [12:31] hi [12:31] leftyfb: You're right, sorry. [12:32] quick question,is it possible to customize .iso image by adding new packages in it? [12:32] leftyfb, i was asking what skills are needed and how to get them ? [12:33] s10gopal: that's offtopic here. [12:33] i'm trying to run grep on multiple files where some filenames may begin with dashes (-). grep * gives me an error "There is no X.txt option" [12:33] but the filename is --X.txt [12:33] anyone know how to get around it? [12:33] can you please join #ubuntu-offtopic [12:34] pokmo: try putting a -- at the end of grep options, then the file name [12:34] e.g. grep -v foo -- --X.txt [12:34] if that doesn't work, try escaping the -s [12:34] pokmo: You have to escape them I think. Try putting a \ in front of them [12:35] pokmo: e.g. `grep \-\-X.txt` [12:36] help,need to add new softwares/packages on an .iso image and install once on offline mode [12:36] Fuchs but i'm trying to use '*' [12:36] grep all files [12:36] pokmo: the -- variant should work, then [12:36] Norux i'm trying to grep all files in one go though [12:36] --*? [12:36] no, -- * [12:36] the space is important [12:36] ok [12:37] indeed [12:37] thanks so much [12:37] you're welcome [12:37] what does -- do here actually [12:37] tell grep that there will be no further options passed [12:37] ah [12:37] so it will treat everything after as a filename [12:37] cool [12:39] not as filename but as positional arguments. that way you can grep for "-stuff" in a file, without it being interpreted as -s switch [12:39] Hi! I have a target systemd unit that is only used to start and stop multiple other services that are part of the same application. The unit file is called myapplicaiton.target so I have to use “systemd start myapplication.target”, but I’d rather skip the .target part and only run “systemd start myapplication”. Is this possible? [12:39] i see === mkv is now known as m4v [12:40] Anyone know how I can fix the buggy square around my cursor? https://i.imgur.com/QYwAIG8l.jpg [12:41] sondre: maybe this helps? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plasma-workspace/+bug/1684240 [12:41] Launchpad bug 1684240 in plasma-workspace (Ubuntu) "Lagging square around mouse pointer" [Undecided,Confirmed] === johlilse is now known as johlil [12:46] does anyone kown when dotnet core will be available on ubuntu 18.04? [12:48] Norux: Thanks [12:49] sondre: No problem [12:50] Upgraded from 17.10 to 18.04. All went fine - except that I used to have 12h battery time, and now I have 8h. Any tips for increasing battery time back to what I had on 17.10 (I ran TLP and still run TLP)? [12:52] isene: I suggest checking with powertop (cli program) [12:52] i want to backup firefox and hexchat , how can i ? [12:53] maybe see https://github.com/linrunner/TLP/issues [12:53] s10gopal: your firefox profile is located in ~/.mozilla and hexchat configuration should be in ~/.config/hexchat [12:53] brainwash: Right. I wonder about this then: 1.21 W 1,3 ms/s 105,4 Interrupt [0] HI_SOFTIRQ [12:54] thx [12:54] brainwash: And this: 971 mW 100,0% Device Radio device: btusb [12:54] bt is bluetooth [12:55] Hello. I'm having problem with my PC buzzer (pcspkr). I had enabled it by unblacklisting it and modprobing it, this worked well, but it works only for 5 seconds after playing sound from other source! What could cause the problem?? [12:55] isene: are these values not changing? [12:55] They remain pretty stable [12:55] Ubuntivity: How did you enable it, and are you use ALSA to playback sound or routing through PulseAudio? [12:56] I have an Ubuntu PC connected to a wireless network as well as ethernet. How can I force it use to wireless network for internet requestes without disconnecting it from ethernet [12:56] brainwash: And these: http://dpaste.com/3PNA6S1 [12:57] pragmaticenigma: I've removed the "blacklist pcspkr" line from "/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf" [12:57] pragmaticenigma: Not sure if using ALSA or PulseAudio! How can I tell? [12:58] m2_teknix: This article should help send you in the right direction. https://askubuntu.com/a/660008 [12:58] Ubuntivity: how are you playing the test sound? [12:58] using command line "beep" [12:58] isene: I guess you'll have to toggle those and see if power consumption goes down [12:58] pragmaticenigma: for example "beep -f 440" [12:58] isene: especially Runtime PM for PCI Device NVIDIA Corporation GP107M [13:00] pragmaticenigma: When I change volume level there is that "blip" sound, after that I can use "beep" correctly for 5 seconds, then the beep is not working anymore until I induce another sound like that "blip" again! [13:00] isene: maybe this can be tweaked via the nvidia driver [13:02] Ubuntivity: This is known behavior and is also why the device typically is blacklisted. [13:02] how to install linux-headers-4.15.0-20-generic ? [13:02] Ubuntivity: Look at the section titled Ioctl Wackiness for more information: https://linux.die.net/man/1/beep [13:03] pragmaticenigma: Oh, I never knew that! [13:03] pragmaticenigma: I've figured some poor workaround, by playing some audio file with minimal volume to keep the pcspkr functional :/ [13:05] Ubuntivity: My thought is with the common place of sound cards capable of much better sound output, it's hard to understand why someone would want to continue using the PCSPKR [13:05] Ubuntivity: Unless the PCSPKR was tied into the sound card such that it could provide audio in the absense of speakers attached to the sound output of the sound card [13:10] brainwash, i was asking about firefox bookmarks and history and saved password [13:10] s10gopal, ffox has a sync utility === tsioupros is now known as White_Cat [13:12] hi [13:12] thx [13:13] pragmaticenigma: Well, for me I'm working on a script for some particular project that uses a classic buzzer rather than a speaker.

[14:18] Suppose I have package A which depends on pkg B. And pkg C which depends on B as well. [14:18] After an update, there's new version of A, B and C. But I decide to upgrade only A. What will apt do? upgrade only A. A and B, but not reverse dependencies. Or A, B and C? [14:18] how to limit usable RAM space to first 2 GB on live distro? I managed to do it on installed one, but not on live. [14:18] apt will update dependencies [14:19] as will emerge and yum [14:19] So, A and B? but not C? [14:20] no it will update b then a and c [14:21] apt is great for dependency modeling [14:21] So if I update a pkg which depends in another which a lot of others depends at the same time. It will upgrade everyone? [14:21] in gentoo, you can mask b but then it wont update a or c [14:21] it will update the package tree based on dependency hierarcy [14:22] Ok, but if using a ppa it could carry broken deps?right? === r is now known as Guest79287 [14:23] the ppa will tell it what the dependencies are and if they are broken, it could lock up apt [14:23] ok [14:23] which is where you run apt install --force [14:23] or somehting like that [14:23] i know i have to do it when i install chrome === streaky_ is now known as streaky [14:24] I think pacman doesnt resolve reverse deps, that;s why I had the question [14:27] Alright, I got a touchpad running under libinput that is vertically jumpy [14:27] software update seems to have reset all my configurations and purged my desktop files? [14:27] Like, if I move my finger diagonally, I get a path that is mostly diagonal, with vertical jumps seemingly at random [14:28] gde36, clean install would do that. mere update woud not [14:28] cfhowlett: it just did [14:28] cfhowlett: to complete the update I had to restart lol [14:28] default theme up [14:28] Any idea about how to control this? I've already run over the libinput docs and manually calibrated touchpad range and thresholds [14:28] And it still happens [14:29] get a mouse? [14:30] are you using a touchscreen or a touchpad [14:32] cant see any drivers in additional drivers tab [14:32] are you using tmux for tabs? [14:32] or a gui? === BusyLM1 is now known as BusyLM [14:33] me?

[14:34] answer my question with more than an anyways [14:34] is it a touchscreen or a touchpad [14:34] !who [14:34] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [14:34] touchpad [14:35] i have no clue what you're saying, new to linux [14:35] synaptics?

[14:35] usr123: lspci shows you what is connected on pci bus [14:36] usr123: lsusb shows you what is connected on the us bus [14:36] usr123: and journalctl -f tails your logs so that you can see what is going on [14:36] eaglgenes: libinput is the generic input driver. is the physical device synaptics? [14:37] Yeah, that's what it's named at least [14:37] and have you installed the synaptic utilities? [14:37] No, which package is that? [14:37] cfhowlett: you have any suggestions? KVIRC for example is still here it just purged my settings for it. [14:38] xserver-xorg-input-synaptics - Synaptics TouchPad driver for X.Org server [14:38] in normal circumstances, an update would not wipe your your config settings. Not enough info for me to hazard a guess [14:38] cfhowlett: how shall I give you enough info? [14:38] Says I already have the latest version [14:39] opne a terminal. inxi -f | pastebinit [14:39] my username still works [14:39] k [14:39] inxi -F | pastebinit [14:40] eaglgenes: what is the display environment that you're using? === Guest83370 is now known as Mr_Pan [14:40] it wont let me open a terminal :/ [14:40] ill just try reboot again first [14:40] hahahahahaha [14:40] easy way to open a terminal if you cant find your terminal app [14:41] ctrl + alt + 3 [14:41] GNOME on wayland [14:41] Not sure which of those is the display environment [14:41] eaglgenes: i haven't used gnome in a long time [14:41] eaglgenes: i use xfce4 and it has a settings utility for managing your synaptics touchpad options [14:42] and idk what package youll need of synaptic utilities for wayland. the one i sent you was for x === Jochen_wvdT is now known as Schlawiner [14:44] Oddly, it's only vertically jumpy. The horizontal movement is just fine. [14:45] Actually scratch that it's jumpy in both axes [14:46] yeah probably a sample rate problem [14:46] you'll need to get into your mouse/touchpad settings in your setting manager and tweak your settings [14:46] being that you're runing the unfashionable gnome, i can't help you much there [14:46] that was funny, it just decided I wanted to log in as the guest user [14:47] back to the ordinary now [14:47] gde33: you need to learn bash [14:47] theTOOLMAN: howso? [14:47] go back to windows if youre gonna be a guiboy [14:47] Anyway, how would you go about doing this on XFCE? Maybe I can se if I can find a parallel in GNOME [14:47] I should have thought of that. glad you got it figured out. [14:48] start -> settings -> mouse/touchpad [14:48] cfhowlett bless you angels from heaven! in ubuntu-ru everyone are angry! more best to you!!!! [14:48] theTOOLMAN: I didn't even remember I created a guest account. Why I would want to log into it after the update is a mystery. [14:48] happy2help! [14:49] gde33: did it autologin? [14:49] yeah [14:49] thats lame [14:49] i'd never let my machines autologin [14:49] gde33, guest account is auto created. you must have accidentally selected it. it will not autologin to the guest [14:50] hi [14:50] in useraccounts it swaped. Just put the main acc on auto loggin [14:50] anyway, thanks for the laughs :P === SimonNL is now known as SimonNL_Afk [14:51] what? [14:54] theTOOLMAN: i just want wifi to run on my system, i dont understand any of that means [14:54] I have tried installing bcmwl from kernel source [14:54] it does not work [14:54] usr123: install wicd [14:54] thats what i use to manage wifi on my laptops [14:55] or is your machine not recognizing the card at all? [14:56] and you're sure that your wireless card is broadcom? [14:57] theTOOLMAN: It says unable to reach some archives run apt-get update, I ran update and it shows the same error [14:57] run: nslookup google.com [14:57] can it resolve? [14:58] no [14:58] do you have a lan connection? [14:58] usb teethering [14:58] that is how you're getting your internet? [14:58] I wonder why the drivers are not showing up in addtional drivers tab in software and updates [14:58] its ubuntu 18.04 by the way [14:58] theTOOLMAN: Yes [14:59] but you can't resolve? [14:59] run: ping -c1 8.8.8.8 [14:59] no [14:59] connect: Network is unreachable [15:00] runs fine [15:00] now [15:00] packets recieved [15:00] so do the nslookup again [15:02] hey all, I have a problem with transferring files on one HDD filling up my install SSD - I have two drives on my laptop, an SSD I boot from, and a HDD in a bay that I keep files on. The HDD has two ext4 partitions that are mounted, I am trying to transfer files from one of those partitions to the other partition, however - it is ALSO filling up my SSD, and the transfer eventually fails because the SSD fills [15:02] up. what is going on here? [15:02] got output [15:03] hey, what does this permission mode mean: 2700? I've only every used permission modes that start with 0 [15:04] wicd got installed [15:04] what next [15:04] open wicd [15:04] and see if your device is listed in there [15:04] done [15:05] ca_cabotage, guess the OS is caching the files to the ssd before writing. you might try rsync instead [15:05] theTOOLMAN: No [15:05] ca_cabotage: I do'nt see how that's possible ? what are you using ? nuatilus ? cp ? [15:05] I dont see wifi devices [15:05] does ifconfig -a [15:05] show your device? [15:06] or even better, does lshw show your devices? [15:06] yes [15:06] broadcast=yes [15:06] which of them? [15:06] ifconfig or lshw? [15:06] i'm using dolphin for a drag and drop [15:06] lshw [15:06] no idea wtf is going on === amirpro_ is now known as amirpro [15:07] ca_cabotage: use rsync [15:07] ca_cabotage: what is filling up on the SSD ? /var/cache ? what directory ? /tmp ? [15:08] and make sure your ext4 partition that you're copying to is actually mounted. otherwise, you'll just be copying to a folder on yout / mount [15:08] mount -l will tell you what is mounted [15:08] theTOOLMAN, i'll give it a shot - but still curious why this would be happening? i want to fix it - I should be able to drag and drop between partitions on my hdd without affecting the ssd - it's a pain in the ass to use rsync when i shouldnt have to [15:08] solsTiCe, I'm still trying to figure out where it is filling up [15:08] Trying to import iptables rules with iptables-persistent package on ub 18.04 they do get imported but doesnt persist through boot,any thoughts? [15:09] well copy doesn't make temporary files so i feel it is safe to assume that your other partitions aren't mounted. [15:09] theTOOLMAN, yeah i did check and it is mounted [15:09] ca_cabotage: du -h --mac-depth=1 until you find what is going on. start in / [15:10] usr123: make sure that your user is in the groups "plugdev" and "netdev" [15:12] Why isn't broadcom listed inside software updates?? [15:13] !broadcom | usr123 [15:13] usr123: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [15:14] usr123: you said that lshw showed the device. is ifconfig -a showing the device? [15:15] theTOOLMAN: no, it says broadcast=yes [15:15] hey friends, I'm curious about opinions LVM partitioning vs manual partitioning. It seems like LVM is a bit more complex and may cause issues... it also seems like it's been around for a while and should be fairly mature. [15:15] broadcast=yes? lol what friends [15:16] JonFriesen: if you use lvm on your / partition, you have to have initramfs which has a module for lvm in it. this causes a slower bootup [15:16] Hey fellas. I am just looking to add a static dns in but I think networkmanager keeps on changing it. Where is the proper place to set IPs for dns [15:16] !lvm | JonFriesen, haven't used it myself but lvm is supported [15:16] JonFriesen, haven't used it myself but lvm is supported: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [15:16] JonFriesen: lvm is good for extra partitions outside of / [15:17] !resolvconf [15:17] resolvconf is a set of scripts that's used to manage /etc/resolv.conf in 12.04 and later, for more information please see: http://www.stgraber.org/2012/02/24/dns-in-ubuntu-12-04/ and https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/network-configuration.html#name-resolution [15:17] jmgb4_: that was for you [15:17] JonFriesen: can utilise snapshot of volumes [15:17] theTOOLMAN, I know. NetworkManager keeps on forcing an overwrite of that. === david__ is now known as david_3 [15:18] jmgb4_: if you read through the documentation, it will tell you how to override the dhcp issued dns server [15:18] hello, i am trying to install xubuntu on my rpi 3B+, i had to get the latest fw from rpi team's github and replaced the boot files, it boots, but i cannot control the pi with my mouse and keyboard does anyone know y? [15:18] i have tried ubuntu mate which booted and had the same issue, and reg ubuntu which did not boot at all [15:18] lspci -nn -d 14e4: what if this command gives no response? [15:18] Hey, I was wondering if there was a way to have ubuntu muted on lock [15:18] PhazonicRidley: try raspian [15:18] ./sleep [15:18] theTOOLMAN: that's pretty cool! I didn't read anything about snapshots [15:19] JonFriesen: snapshots are cool. just remember that / being lvm requires a whole extra sequence at startup [15:19] which takes time [15:19] but also know that things can be expanded easily with lvm [15:19] so it def has its pros and cons [15:20] theTOOLMAN: aah okay, I have a x1 carbon and I went the LVM route and have found it a bit slower [15:20] theTOOLMAN, Not really. Thats pretty old documentation and referring to non existent directories. [15:20] jmgb4_: are you using systemd, openrc, or sysvinit? [15:21] systemd. The default with Ubuntu [15:21] jmgb4_: you can add "nameserver 1.1.1.1" in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/tail [15:21] theTOOLMAN: raspbain doesnt have what i need, i need upadated repos for shit and i need python 3.6 [15:21] raspbain has neither of those [15:21] PhazonicRidley: hmmmmm.... never ran raw ubuntu on a pi. [15:21] do u have a pi 3B+? [15:21] PhazonicRidley: but i'm sure you can download the python source and build it [15:21] PhazonicRidley, What do you need 3.6 for? You can add the ppa [15:22] PhazonicRidley, I have a 3b+ [15:22] and gcc will let you cross compile so you can compile it on your desktop and move the package to your pi [15:22] much faster than building on an arm [15:22] jmgb4_: then "sudo resolvconf -u" to activate the change [15:23] PhazonicRidley, Only reason why I ask why do you need 3.6 python on it is because I use my pi a lot, havent ran into the issue of needing it yet but that may come in the future [15:23] jmgb4_: +1 on what pavlos was saying [15:23] theTOOLMAN, I got it [15:23] i am using discord.py [15:23] which works best on 3.6 [15:24] also, the bot i will host needs 3.6 [15:24] pavlos, Good thing resolvconf isnt even installed. Hah [15:25] Need to install a tool to fix ubuntus breakage, love it [15:25] alright, ill give raspbain another go, as i cant get any version of ubuntu to work [15:25] Does anyone know how to configure 802.1ad using netplan or how to get it to work on boot with the 18.04 release? [15:26] seems like my card is a realtek [15:26] jmgb4_: does the network manager you're using have an option to force a static dns? [15:26] usr123: that would make sense why your broadcom wasn't finding it [15:26] theTOOLMAN, Yeah but something in systemd is forcing to overwrite it [15:26] alguien que entienda español, que quisiera ayudarme? [15:26] is it systemd networking? [15:26] Which is why systemd is garbage but thats another talk [15:26] !es | antonio__ [15:26] antonio__: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba " /join #ubuntu-es " (sin comillas) y presione intro. [15:27] The dns is still defaulting to the networkmanager default of 127.0.0.53 [15:27] theTOOLMAN: So, how do I run wifi now? [15:27] same way [15:27] theTOOLMAN, Maybe [15:27] jmgb4_: i'm trying to find where the systemd network conf file is [15:27] what way? [15:27] Same [15:27] theTOOLMAN: thanks for answering my questions, and providing those links on LVM :) [15:27] JonFriesen: glad i can help [15:28] i'm currently pulling my hair out over an msi deployment with gpo on windows. i hate windows [15:28] !windoze [15:28] Please don't use silly misspellings to denigrate other operating systems. It makes users of that system feel attacked and hurts Ubuntu advocacy by making the community look unreasonable. [15:28] hahahahaha [15:28] Sounds like package management is quite a useful tool [15:28] i love that response [15:28] hahaha [15:28] an msi is the windoze equivalent to a .dpkg [15:29] I think its time to rm -rf this garbage... why do you have to change 100 things to get a static dns. [15:29] Is it possible to change from 802.1Q to 802.1ad without removing the VLAN from the interface? [15:29] i just configure dns on my dhcp server [15:29] i.e., just changing the protocol? [15:29] handle0: if you do that, it will move to vlan1 [15:29] Last time I had to open windows, I was running around checking every program for updates because there's no central way to check which ones have updates [15:29] Thats like saying to somebody thats trying to work on their car that you just take it to the mechanic theTOOLMAN lol. [15:30] Not really fixing the issue here [15:30] It was a dedicated update session, so I didn't have problems with windows shutting down on me [15:30] well i'm a senior sys admin at a pretty big company and they through this task on my desk knowing i don't do win bs [15:30] But there was the feeling I missed something even after I checked each program [15:31] Security engineer. Built plenty of custom dns servers theTOOLMAN, fighting with 10 different applicatoins to get a simple dns fix. yeah. [15:31] Can you rename the type of protocol? [15:31] jmgb4_: kinda why i left systemd for openrc [15:31] systemd is nice but it needs work [15:31] same with wayland [15:32] though wayland needs much more work [15:32] theTOOLMAN, Is that even possible with ubuntu? I run gentoo at home with openrc and thats fine. I could have fixed this issue in 10 seconds [15:32] jmgb4_: that was my secret... gentoo [15:32] theTOOLMAN: where does "ip link" store its configuration on the filesystem? [15:32] handle0: what do you mean ip link? [15:33] oh... nvm [15:33] thats a good question [15:33] !ip [15:33] theTOOLMAN: "ip link add link eth0 eth0.24 type vlan proto 802.1ad id 24" <- where is this stored at on the filesystem? [15:33] ok [15:33] that is a temporary thing... it will be gone on reboot [15:34] not sure where it stores it though [15:34] only time i ever need it is when i need to add an interface to do something i shouldn't be doing [15:34] my next task theTOOLMAN is figure out how to get metasploit on this machine without setting off all the bells and whistles on the PAs [15:34] jmgb4_: metasploit.... thats a fun one [15:35] it's somewhere, because I can't change it from 802.1Q to Ad [15:35] nevermind [15:35] theTOOLMAN, I have kali installed on here as well and I am surprised we dont get warnings everytime that updates. [15:35] i've never been able to get kali to update [15:35] !ot [15:35] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please register with NickServ (see /msg ubottu !register) and use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [15:35] jmgb4_: "nmcli dev show" should list DNS info [15:36] Need to fix your keys most likely but we shuld stick to what tgm just said [15:36] i just go through their app list and have an ubuntu install where i put those packages. [15:37] pavlos, Yeah its in there but the first DNS is to 127.0.0.53 which is where networkmanager lives. From there it does who knows what. nslookup isnt showing anything helpful either [15:38] I am out of ideas though and getting frustrated lol [15:38] systemd-resolve --status [15:38] jmgb4_: nmcli shouldn't list 127.0.0.53 as the DNS [15:40] jmgb4_: 127.0.0.53 is systemd-resolved, not nm === mkv is now known as m4v [15:44] So is 18.04 working well? [15:45] Squarism: not really a support question, and quite subjective at that [15:45] Squarism: try it [15:45] i guess i could do that [15:45] Squarism try /join #ubuntu-discuss [15:47] so I'm getting a crash on attempting to log in after upgrading to bionic behavior. presumably some sort of nvidia driver-related issue. should I file a bug? [15:47] Hi === chalcedny is now known as chalcedony [15:55] nacc, Ah.. so I need to nuke systemd-resolved somehow [15:56] nope [15:56] in /etc/systemd/resolved.conf everything is correct === mkv is now known as m4v === SimonNL_Afk is now known as SimonNL [16:06] !windows [16:06] For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents [16:06] jmgb4_: what is your actual issue? (sorry just catching up) [16:07] Hi, where can I ask for help with the ubuntu openstack thing? [16:07] jmgb4_: systemd-resolve --status may help you if it's a name resolution issue [16:07] gabboman: #ubuntu-server most likely [16:07] thanks [16:09] nacc, Got it working now. Not sure exactly what the issue was but either systemd or nm was fighting me on allowing static dns [16:10] jmgb4_: ok. [16:11] I dont get why the distro has to make it so difficult to get one thing done. To change a 5 to a 9 anywhere it seems like you have to go through 50000 configs at the same time [16:12] I'm looking for a way to change some app icon on dash2dock, tried to change it in /usr/share/applications but no luck. Suggestions? [16:13] jmgb4_: I don't know what issues you were dealing with, but you should have been able to do that through network manager quite easily [16:14] tgm4883, Should have yes. something kept on overwriting it. [16:14] jmgb4_: i also don't know what you mean by a 5 to a 9. [16:14] nacc: I think that was hyperbole [16:14] nacc, Just saying something simple [16:15] jmgb4_: I'm going to fall back onto whatever you were seeing isn't typical [16:15] * tgm4883 shrugs [16:15] I hope I dont have to go through that again [16:15] Now back to rolling certificates for firewalls [16:15] * jmgb4_ sighs. [16:16] jmgb4_: ok. I don't know, my opinion is the same as tgm4883 without a reproducible test case [16:16] Question, in the efi entry ubuntu 18.04 creates, how is it that I acn rename it to something like ubuntu-18.04? [16:17] nacc, If I am bored in a couple of hours I will dig back into it [16:17] been trying do that, grub-install sort of works but not when you disconect the harddrive from the system and reconnect it. [16:27] Hey guys. Wifes Win10 machine (which is set up with bitlocker) needs the OS to be reinstalled. I've booted Ubuntu 18.04 via USB to grab her personal files (pictures mostly). But not sure how to proceed to get into the partition everything is in [16:28] It looks like bitlocker is preventingme form seeing inside it. [16:30] hey there [16:33] hi [16:33] im running lighttpd with mod_compress [16:34] dbk227: i would think the point of bitlocker would prevent that [16:34] the compressed directory shows the files fine .. but the content served is still the uncompressed one.. [16:34] can someone help me with this.. [16:34] lighttpd seems to be pretty much dead [16:34] dbk227: You won't be able to access a bitlocker protected volume externally. I'm not aware of any tools that can mount and unlock bitlocker protected drives [16:34] !enter | Assid [16:34] Assid: Please try and keep as much of your info as possible on ONE line - easier to follow for everyone. [16:35] pragmaticenigma: will try to keep that in mind.. [16:35] brwoods: why do you want to? does it matter enough? [16:35] Assid: mod_compress compresses the information in transit. The client application automatically decompresses the content once it is received. [16:36] nacc: I found a video about a utility called disklocker that looks like it might work [16:36] pragmaticenigma: yes, but it can also cache it in the directory if you wish it to. However, the content served is not compressed.. content-encoding doesn't show up as gzip [16:37] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7XT5fK4iwA [16:37] However it specifically states its for Linux [16:37] Assid: It is possible the client is not configured to accept gzip compression [16:37] dbk227: not really interested in external tools to do someting that's not supported :) [16:38] Assid: what tool are you using to test with? [16:38] hey, to repeat. I was wondering if it was possible to automatically mute on sleep/screen lock [16:38] pragmaticenigma: unlikely.. chrome works fine.. im even seeing other sites showing up with gzip encoding [16:38] pragmaticenigma: chrome .. developer tools [16:39] i have a feeling its something to do with lighttpd .. than anything.. i guess i should consider nginx [16:39] Assid: are you testing across the internet, local network, localhost? [16:39] pragmaticenigma: internet .. can you check it from your end as well ? [16:39] hey, I've noticed that some of my log files in /var/log get HUGE after upgrading to 18.10 really fast for some reason, and since im running ubuntu on a 32gb hard drive I'd love to find a temporary solution to this till I can figure out what causes this. I believe you are supposed to be able to limit the size of log files somehow but I forget [16:40] Assid: I wouldn't recommend posting the link here... and I am not able to test it at the moment [16:40] routa: is something actually getting logged? also, 18.04, i assume [16:40] im considering testing it with nginx next [16:41] Actually I am fine with Apache, but mongodb sounds like a performer. [16:42] Assid: The documentation here: http://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/lighttpd/wiki/Docs_ModCompress mentions that the webserver needs to have permissions to read from the caching directory. Is that true for you? [16:42] It is true for all web-servers [16:43] yes.. it creates the files .. s [16:43] nacc: my bad. Yeh I've been checking the logs and they are filled with all kinds of stuff, I think I know whats causing it but I remember that you can limit the size and I'd like to do that before I can find a more permanent solution [16:43] Assid: also double check the file size limits on compression? Max file size is 128MB [16:43] pragmaticenigma: all tiny files.. 2-300kb [16:44] Assid: are they binary files? [16:44] nope.. js /css files but still no joy [16:44] routa: which log file? [16:44] Assid, yes, the 1024 block size means a lot of waste [16:44] hello [16:44] I want to disable the nvidia logo upon startup of X [16:44] 18.04 [16:44] I see no xorg.conf, is creating one ok? [16:44] I rather avoid messing some automatic setup up [16:45] Younder: if you don't have constructive topics to add, please do not add commentary [16:45] nacc: has to do with switching between multiple version of ubuntu etc for testing purposes and messing with grub isn't really wanted [16:45] I think 18.04 Xubuntu performs a lot better than 16.04 did on my netbook for some reason. did they do some code streamlining? [16:46] Assid: I would have to say if everything in that documentation page I sent was followed, it should be working. I'm not certain NGINX is going to help further, but it can't hurt to try and see. Might help trouble shoot the issue further [16:46] brwoods: why does the string used in uefi matter for that? or you mean you are doing distinct registrations in uefi? [16:47] ask-ygU5AP56: i doubt xorg is making an nvidia logo show up [16:47] pragmaticenigma: yes , ive been trying to work with it for hours.. but theres no help in the lighttpd channel either [16:47] nacc: because having ubuntu and ubuntu as two entries doesn't really help much [16:47] ask-ygU5AP56: X.org no longer uses xorg.conf files, it generates them on the fly during boot. If you have the nvidia configuration tool, I believe there is an option in there to turn off the logo splash. [16:47] nacc, err? [16:47] brwoods: right, that's what i meant. So most people (I think) put ubuntu as the uefi entry, and then have the various distros in grub [16:47] pragmaticenigma, yeah, it turns it off by creating a xorg.conf [16:48] this has to be automatic and portable so grub doesn't really do much in way of that [16:48] er, that was for nacc [16:48] how do I get my integrated to work while I have a gpu in? [16:48] brwoods: i think this is all in the efi config manager === Panoptes is now known as Aztec03 [16:49] where does 18.04 save screenshots taken with the print screen button? [16:49] ask-ygU5AP56: are you using the nvidia binary driver? possibly with the nvidia control center or whatever it's called? [16:49] nacc: syslog kern.log and system.journal [16:49] nacc, yeah, that's why the logo shows up [16:49] It used to work before with a different card, but it's no longer working [16:49] gareppa: Pictures/ [16:49] gareppa: in your home dir [16:49] iopq, in that a bios issue? [16:50] nacc: I know, but when I do a grub-install it works but fails to... I'll just figure it out myself [16:50] Okay, so [16:50] hey i need a ubuntu flavour with wine-mono gecko , crossover , java , steam pre downloaded, flash player as gaming live cd not more than around 1.2 Gbs if that is possible ? as alternative ubuntu game pack is over 2.2 gigs [16:50] I need a little help. [16:50] routa: i think the journal can be limited, not sure about the others [16:50] s/in/aint [16:50] ask-ygU5AP56, no, because the screen will show "low graphics mode" pop-up when I set integrated to be the default [16:50] I can't seem to get Wine 3.7 in. [16:50] It shows that I have Wine 2.8 on Ubuntu 17.10. [16:50] !enter | CheetahPixie [16:50] CheetahPixie: Please try and keep as much of your info as possible on ONE line - easier to follow for everyone. [16:50] oh right lol thanks [16:50] ask-ygU5AP56: i assume that' sp robably configurable in the nvidia control center then [16:50] iopq, iono, should work fine then if the os sees it [16:50] brwoods: what? fails to what? === button is now known as crayon [16:51] ask-ygU5AP56, OS doesn't see it === mkv is now known as m4v [16:51] In essence, I have here wine-staging that is 3.7.0, and then a bunch of Wine stuff that is 2.0.2. Somewhere in the mix, it gets confused and reports Wine 2.18 or something; I wanna remove these older versions, but not sure how I would go about that, or what to snipe. [16:51] ask-ygU5AP56, I should say xrandr doesn't see it and lshw does [16:51] hey i need a ubuntu flavour with wine-mono gecko , crossover , java , steam pre downloaded, flash player as gaming live cd not more than around 1.2 Gbs if that is possible ? as alternative ubuntu game pack is over 2.2 gigs forgot to add android studio if that needed as well [16:52] Wait, wine64-development 2.18 is installed. hmm [16:52] sky_: i don't believe any flavor does that. [16:52] libwine-development, wine32-development, wine64-development... hmm === WildSoft_ is now known as WildSoft [16:52] Well it is lighter on the computer, so yeah it would help [16:52] (I have a 64 bit Wineprefix by the way and want to keep that.) [16:53] nacc will you ask devs to make one flavour like i mentioned with size not exceeding too much [16:53] I'm a bit surprised that I can't seem to find an application that can view text messages on a phone via the Bluetooth Message Access Profile. Is there something I'm missing? [16:53] iopq, what's Xorg say? paerhaps it's trying to initialize the wrong card? [16:53] s/pear/per [16:54] It's a standard protocol that things like vehicles and smartwatches often use [16:54] CheetahPixie: If you are developing an application, you may find better assistance in the #ubuntu-app-devel [16:54] ask-ygU5AP56, how do I check? [16:55] iopq, oldschool thinking I'd say X needs correct information which display to hook up to which card and what driver to load. xorg log is at /var/log/Xorg.0.log or so [16:55] I am not. [16:55] I have no idea why those were installed. [16:55] CheetahPixie: I'm having a difficult time understanding what you are attempting to do [16:55] Basically. === mkv is now known as m4v [16:56] An old Wine 2.18 was in my system for some reason. [16:56] And I tried to update, but despite 3.7 existing on my system, winecfg still reported 2.18. [16:56] I was trying to fix that. [16:56] iopq, I lack knowledge tho how this new generating-on-the-fly-config-X works though [16:56] hey i need a ubuntu flavour with wine-mono gecko , crossover , java , steam pre downloaded, flash player as gaming live cd not more than around 1.2 Gbs if that is possible ? as alternative ubuntu game pack is over 2.2 gigs forgot to add vbox ,android studio if that needed as well [16:56] Decided I'd do a reinstall real quick. [16:56] Going to report back where that goes. [16:57] CheetahPixie: The support version of Wine in Ubuntu is 1.6 currently (if I'm reading the package management correctly) [16:57] ask-ygU5AP56, what am I looking for [16:57] 3.7 is the latest staging, 3.0 is the latest stable. [16:58] CheetahPixie: Ubuntu never distributes software that isn't from the developers stable branch. [16:58] iopq, EE [16:58] sky_: please stop asking the same question and ignoring the answer you were given. [16:58] Wonder where that package comes from then. [16:59] sky_: and no, i won't ask the devs to do that [16:59] moving to distrowatch may be there some one make a new linux distro [16:59] CheetahPixie: is this a machine you have owned and maintained or did someone give it to you? [16:59] sky_, make your own [16:59] ask-ygU5AP56, only some warnings [16:59] I set it up myself. [16:59] iopq, dunno bro [16:59] about fonts [16:59] (And of course this is my machine.) [17:00] iopq, somehow it's not picking it up, mayhap some more info in dmesg? [17:00] CheetahPixie: How did you install Wine? Where did you find instructions? [17:00] what's it, var/log/messages ? === B is now known as Guest78346 [17:00] I don't even remember how I came upon those old packages. [17:00] iopq, what are you trying to achieve anyway, multi screen, both cards working at the same time hooked to a separate monitor? [17:01] Me using computers and installing junk is like a good night out drinking; I don't remember what, when or where or how this package ended up on my system. [17:01] CheetahPixie, that's the first heads up, from what I hear [17:01] ask-ygU5AP56, yes, that's what I'm trying to achieve [17:01] CheetahPixie, to quit that is [17:01] ask-ygU5AP56, it worked before [17:01] iopq, well, what did you change? [17:01] ask-ygU5AP56, but my GPU died so I replaced it with a different one [17:01] ask-ygU5AP56, still AMD [17:01] Not really. [17:01] ok, same class? [17:02] ask-ygU5AP56, much older one [17:02] I've been doing it for 19 years, and this sorta stuff is how I've lerned. [17:02] as in same version of card? [17:02] k [17:02] :/ [17:02] So. [17:02] CheetahPixie, drinking [17:02] ask-ygU5AP56, in between I used JUST the integrated and it worked [17:02] Oh, I don't drink. [17:02] CheetahPixie, is what I write about [17:02] It was an analogy. [17:02] CheetahPixie, good on you [17:03] CheetahPixie, what driver do you use? amd fglrx or radeon opensource? [17:03] "Errors were encountered while processing: /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-McdoJL/129-libsane1_1.0.27-1-experimental2ubuntu2.1_i386.deb" [17:03] amdgpu [17:03] fglrx is long since deprecated. [17:03] they should call the next version of Ubuntu "Cheating Cheetah" because well I have no idea how it runs so good on rotten potatoes lol [17:03] well whatever ;) [17:03] you know what I mean [17:03] proptrietary/opensource [17:03] propr* === mkv is now known as m4v [17:04] :P [17:04] fglrx is a rotten shroom. [17:04] Draconiator, /me has been using lubuntu for the past year on a z60m - 2GB ram, 1.7GHz pentium m [17:04] working fine as a daily driver, only hacks a tad with youtube + flash [17:04] You shouldn't use fglrx anymore [17:04] 240p is max it does [17:05] oh man, they're waking up [17:05] foret fglrx [17:05] forget* [17:05] iopq,so which driver are you using for the ati card, the proprietary whatever its now called or the opensource one? [17:05] maybe radeon driver not amdgpu [17:05] <---Xubuntu on a 1.1GHZ Intel Atom N270, 1GB RAM, and Intel 945 graphics. [17:06] Ayyy I got an N270 or N280 here. [17:06] (Not Spectre vulnerable, so ha) [17:06] Draconiator, yeah, it worked fine w/ 512MB or so [17:06] I added a SSD to the machine and being roughly 15 years old, it performs alright [17:06] I did try and load it on my desktop because needed to format the SSD to upgrade to 18.04 and the darn thing loaded in like 5 seconds. [17:07] :) [17:07] yeah that's the bottleneck [17:07] mostly [17:07] for like daily performance I find ssd to be one of the key upgrades, given 2+GB ram is avail [17:07] daily driver = dwarf fortress, ssh, mozilla, office [17:08] ask-ygU5AP56, open source one [17:08] iopq, what's dmesg say? [17:08] ask-ygU5AP56, lots of things, what am I looking for? [17:09] grep -i dri [17:09] I recommend you less it though since you're looking for messages next to the dri messages [17:09] look for radeon [17:09] caseless [17:09] hi [17:09] if I install qt creator will it install all qt dependencies? [17:10] try w/ apt and see what it suggests [17:10] my bet is yes, if it's a dependency [17:10] ask-ygU5AP56, was it to me? [17:10] yess === sn is now known as Guest63889 [17:11] if you install via apt then sure, I reckon it pulls deps, from my experience, it does [17:11] it has like 3 of these: [ 0.812615] radeon 0000:02:00.0: fence driver on ring 0 use gpu addr 0x0000000040000c00 and cpu addr 0xffff880415a93c00 [17:11] iopq, any errors? [17:12] like DRM/DRI I think is what you look for; there RADEON with capital letters *I think* [17:12] just give it a read [17:12] and look for error [17:12] ask-ygU5AP56, I wont be using qt at all. I try to find a good IDE for console application in c++. do you recommend any good solution? [17:12] ask-ygU5AP56, everything is green, that means no errors, right? [17:12] Peyam, nope [17:13] iopq, iono dude [17:13] it's text [17:13] ask-ygU5AP56, it's colored text [17:13] if ubuntu colours it somehow then that's ubuntu's thing [17:13] I doubt it picks off errors [17:14] the colour process that is [17:16] hmm, I see some errors on mine and they're red; some are not though. [17:17] uh [17:17] wine keeps complaining about libsanew [17:17] what do? [17:17] iopq, what exactly happens? is your integrated graphics card monitor output blank? [17:18] * ask-ygU5AP56 just cooked some on par beef & cabbage stew [17:18] alright === Trystam is now known as Tristam [17:18] iopq, write what's up Imma see to try and help you out [17:20] ask-ygU5AP56, integrated monitor is on, but showing black screen [17:21] ask-ygU5AP56, when I hit reload, I see a load-out image on it, but nothing while Ubuntu is running [17:21] *reboot [17:21] ok then it sounds like an X issue [17:22] is an external monitor hooked to the discrete gpu (radeon) ? [17:23] ask-ygU5AP56, I made the AMD card hook up to the main monitor which is the discrete GPU one, and another monitor to the integrated [17:23] iopq, you hook it up then boot or hook it up once booted? [17:23] ask-ygU5AP56, I left it hooked up while booting [17:24] iopq, ok, I think it's worth trying to boot up just with the integrated card plugged in, for a test [17:24] so, power off machine hard; power off monitors hard; disconnect radeon monitor; leave integrated monitor connected; power on monitors; power on machine [17:24] ask-ygU5AP56, take out the GPU out of the slot? [17:24] observe results [17:24] no [17:24] just leave it monitorless upon hard reboot [17:25] ask-ygU5AP56, I get no output when I do that [17:25] and keep a powered on monitor hooked onto the integrated card [17:25] no output even from bios? [17:25] ask-ygU5AP56, because BIOS is set to have PCIe as default monitor [17:25] ask-ygU5AP56, when I switch to integrated being default, I can see the bios on the screen [17:25] ok, well, is that crucial for you? to have the PCIe as default? [17:25] ask-ygU5AP56, but when I boot into Ubuntu I get low graphics mode on that monitor [17:26] ask-ygU5AP56, no, but it just doesn't work in Ubuntu when I boot up with integrated as the default I get low graphics mode [17:26] what's low graphics mode? 256, 640x480 ? [17:26] ask-ygU5AP56, it's an error message telling me to fix my shit, it doesn't actually work [17:27] ask-ygU5AP56, something something you're in low graphics mode, fix your drivers [17:27] well, what does it say in Xorg's and dmesg's logs then? [17:27] any errors and if any, what ? [17:27] one sec let me do that again [17:38] I'm can't shut down! I've got a message "A stop job is running for Advanced key-value store (no timeout)" and has been running for over 15 minutes! [17:39] Seven_Six_Two, hold in your power button; that oughta shut it down; otherwise, there's always the power cord to pull [17:40] lol [17:41] Seven_Six_Two, did you install redis ? [17:41] ask-ygU5AP56: while that is true, that's not necessarily great advice to give [17:42] soo ubuntu upgrade borked my video setup (gdm3 fails miserably, lightdm almost works) and I can't enter grub menu (since 17.10) because.. it doesn't react to shift :D [17:42] ioria, a while ago, I guess I never removed it... I did magic sysrq and will remove it [17:42] Seven_Six_Two, ok, if you don't need it anymore [17:44] strangeqargo: shift? did you mean escape? [17:44] ooh it's escape now? Should check tomorrow. [17:46] Anyone else having trouble compiling ffmpeg on 18.04? [17:47] onefix: it's available in the repository [17:48] guys [17:48] brainwash: I solved the issues with powertop. Thanks for reminding me :-) [17:48] How I can to access the S3 Amazon using ubuntu? [17:48] Yeah, but I need nvenc, which is why I'm trying to compile it. It did fine on 16.04 and it seems to go through the compilation fine ... it's failing on the x264 libraries... [17:49] brainwash: Actually, now I have an extra hour of battery time since upgrading to 18.04 (13+ hours) [17:52] rfkill --list has lots of entries of the form number + ": hci" + number + ": Bluetooth"; how can I discover more details like the MAC, or their USB address? (they're USB BT dongles) [17:52] Sven_vB: lsusb? [17:53] ask-ygU5AP56, https://pastebin.com/6rkSDbBs [17:54] this is with integrated being default, but also the other screen being plugged in [17:55] On bionic beaver I'm having the issue that right-click context-menus/popup-windows only shows for the fraction of a second, then disappears. The issue only arise when starting programs directly in Xorg, on their own tty linux console, without any WM. It has something to do with the mouse cursor focus because if the cursor is moved fast enough out of the program, the right-click menu stays open until the menu [17:55] is mouse overed. I've tried to add a xorg.conf mouse device and dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. [17:55] I'm a bit surprised that I can't seem to find an application that can view text messages on a phone via the Bluetooth Message Access Profile. Is there something I'm missing? === BugzieAFK is now known as Bugzie [17:57] Isnt there any way to have iptables rules persist through reboots in 18.04? Not using ufw cmd normal iptables syntax [17:58] Plumble? On Debian I put the iptable rules in /etc/network/interfaces [17:59] But interfaces seems to be deprecated so perhaps not a good idea [17:59] Plumble: look into iptables-save and iptables-restore commands [18:00] @phinxy ive used iptables-save and iptables-restore but still gets flushed [18:00] Only way they persist if i use ufw cmd [18:03] nacc, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/fPHZnwxtyV/ <-- which field of lsusb tells me it's device #15 or hci0? [18:04] Plumble: do you have netfilter-persistent installed? [18:04] oh, the "Device 014" is misleading. I'll fix that [18:06] I have laptop with 4x Intel Core i5-4210U CPU @ 1.70GHZ, can this support 18.04 ubuntu? [18:07] OnceMe: try it [18:08] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements [18:08] 2 GHz dual core processor [18:08] I have 4G of ram [18:09] OnceMe: you could try xubuntu or lubuntu [18:10] that's strange. looks like indeed bus 2 is exclusively for Bluetooth dongles. [18:11] Hello anyone 3rd request for some insight.... I would like to be able to view the logs from UFW. connections accepted and denied. I believe I used to cat /var/log/messages [18:11] back in 13.10 but in 16.04 there is no messages files.I Googled the crap out of ufw logs with no luck - anyone? [18:11] ask-ygU5AP56, oh yeah I put in the video card in a different slot than before [18:11] maybe I should switch it again and see [18:12] c_cinap, no, in the systemlog, but you could make a seperate log > [18:12] sudo ufw logging on >> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UncomplicatedFirewall [18:13] leftyfb: I want ubuntu 18.04 [18:13] OnceMe: yup [18:13] nacc, ok fixed, now it's BT device #26 vs. USB device 30 https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/vVrKBRK87r/ [18:14] OnceMe: both of those are up to 18.04 [18:14] I accidentally copied over the recycle.bin folder from a windows volume to my ext4 drive. rm wont remove it [18:14] or even rm -r [18:15] Sven_vB: sorry, what do you need from me? [18:15] ikkuranus and sudo rm ? [18:15] yeah with sudo [18:16] nacc, well, he wanted it off [18:16] ikkuranus try booting a live cd/usb and delete it from there [18:16] nacc, off = no power [18:16] nacc, I'd like advice on how I can relate the lsusb output to the rfkill device number or name [18:17] is that necessary? the drive in question isn't the os drive [18:17] nacc, or other ideas on how to obtain uniquely identifying info about the rfkill devices, ideally their MAC [18:17] Sven_vB: i'm not sure you can [18:17] ikkuranus: first question, rm won't remove it how? what does it say? [18:18] Sven_vB: oh, you can use -o with the fields from --help [18:18] rm: cannot remove '.BIN': No such file or directory [18:18] I assume because $ is some kind of wildcard [18:18] iopq, I doubt a different slot is to cause issues [18:19] ikkuranus: uh what's the actual command you're trying to do? [18:19] iopq, I read your dmesg; I see no errors there; what do you get in X's log ? [18:19] nacc, how/where? neither manpages of rfkill nor lsusb show a -o option [18:19] sudo rm -r $RECYCLE.BIN [18:19] ask-ygU5AP56, how do I get the x log again [18:19] Sven_vB: yes they do [18:19] iopq, from dmesg I see both intel and radeon drm buffers initialized [18:19] iopq, /var/log/ [18:19] Sven_vB: at least on 18.04 they certainly do [18:19] ikkuranus: yeah that's not gonna work. put the filename in SINGLE quote. rm '$RECYCLE.BIN' [18:19] iopq, there's an Xorg there somewhere - Xorg.0.log or Xorg.1.log whichever is the current one [18:19] ikkuranus: don't need -r, that's recursive, and this ain't a dir, is it? [18:20] iopq, if one's for one display and another of other, paste both [18:20] nacc, unfortunately, on xenial, "( man lsusb; man rfkill ) | grep -Fe -o" is empty [18:20] probably not but that worked [18:20] ikkuranus: $ is prefix for variables in (ba)sh. $RECYCLE.BIN, it expects $RECYCLE variable to be st [18:20] *set [18:21] I'm on 16.04.3 LTS and Firefox says it's critically out of date but if I click update in software center it says no update available [18:21] ask-ygU5AP56, got some errors https://pastebin.com/C6Tuhfe0 [18:21] SPF: you should be on 16.04.4 [18:22] nacc: how? [18:23] SPF: update your system (use apt) [18:23] SPF: although the update-manager should have done it already [18:23] nacc, I see http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/rfkill.8.html lists an --output option, so does the new rfkill have more columns than id, name, type? [18:23] SPF: see the pretty graph at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack [18:23] ikkuranus: so what happened here is that $RECYCLE variable is not set, and the shell is expanding it to nothing, thus not finding the '.BIN' file. putting it in single quotes does NOT expand on $. Alternatively ,you could've escaped $, I think \$RECYCLE.BIN would've worked too. [18:23] SPF: i dunno [18:23] Best way to get Hot Corners in Gnome-Tweaks?

[18:26] SPF: 4.4.0-121/122 is current [18:26] nacc: I reboot every day [18:26] iopq, look, do this: unplug external; power off; plug internal; power on; then paste Xorg.1.log and Xorg.0.log and dmesg [18:26] SPF: then you are manually using an insecure kernel, or removed the metapackage [18:26] ask-ygU5AP56, ok thanks [18:27] iopq, no monitor on the external card just for now; until you get a working X on your intel card w/ your external card plugged in [18:27] lesshaste, no worries [18:27] ask-ygU5AP56, ok, one sec let me try [18:28] iopq, so both cards in, monitor only on intel, hard reboot; monitor ON [18:28] iopq, make sure to power cycle it HARD [18:28] nacc: I wouldn't know. I have no clue what metapackage is [18:30] SPF: e.g., linux-image-generic, or ubuntu-desktop, etc. [18:31] This kind of bug is way too serious for a LTS, they shouldn't have released it with this kind of bug... [18:32] kaili: it's obviously not prevalent or easy to trigger, otherwise there'd be way more noise around it. [18:32] meanwhile, I installed 18.04 just fine. [18:32] nacc: ah, yes I had some trouble with that before. I tried to add the bar to the left with icons, but I never got it to work [18:33] I think it's called unity? [18:33] Well there are already 5 bugs report in a few days, sounds quite noisy to me. Even have demo video on youtube === CarlaWinchester is now known as Hermione [18:33] Sounds quite noisy to me [18:34] Anyone use their linux box to do dev work by RDP'ing into a win10 machine? How's the RDP experience? [18:34] Snappy? [18:34] depends on your network I think [18:35] kaili: also, please note that every new release will have bugs. ideally, stable systems should be expected with the first point release, 18.04.1 [18:35] merpnderp: I tried xfreedp but it doesnt always work [18:35] Problem is the crash happens just after the whole disk is erased :x [18:35] merpnderp: i use remmina to rdp into my windows 10 box. i do dev on the linux side. win is just for office products and windows only programs [18:35] when I run ifconfig I see docker0 and enp2s0 where I was expecting to just see eth0. What are those? [18:36] lesshaste: enp2s0 is your physical and its logical interface [18:36] the docker is because you have docker installed or are in a docker container [18:37] lesshaste: the new, "predictable", network interface default naming scheme, based on physical and logical location of the device. named by the kernel, exposed by systemd. [18:37] thanks! So what is docker0?? [18:37] lesshaste: also, get along with ip, as ifconfig has been deprecated [18:37] ask-ygU5AP56, I tried just unplugging and it made no difference [18:37] !docker [18:38] iopq, just unplugging? with the machine on ? [18:38] ask-ygU5AP56, now I completely removed the AMD card and booted on my integrated just fine [18:38] i guess there wasn't one [18:38] ask-ygU5AP56, with the machine off [18:38] blackflow, what is the equivalent "ip" command that gives you this info? [18:38] ip addr [18:38] iopq, ok, so you unplugged the external monitor, then booted, and it made no difference? [18:38] thanks..so what is docker0? [18:38] lesshaste: ip addr show [18:38] lesshaste: that was for you [18:38] ask-ygU5AP56, absolutely none, but when I took the card out it's fine [18:39] : docker0: mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state DOWN group default [18:39] theTOOLMAN, thanks [18:39] lesshaste: https://docs.docker.com/network/bridge/ [18:39] lesshaste: I'm guessing some bridge or something by docker... ah theTOOLMAN has a link. [18:39] theTOOLMAN, hmm.. this is my normal desktop pc in my home [18:39] ask-ygU5AP56, the card being plugged in loads the drivers for it, whether or not it's connected to the monitor it seems [18:39] I am not aware of ever setting up a bridge [18:39] iopq, as to be expected; but what I want to see is the logs; when you do as I wrote - run the machine w/ both cards, but only the integrated one hooked to a monitor vs both hooked to a monitor - I want to see if the logs differ for both cases [18:39] lesshaste: have you installed docker? [18:40] theTOOLMAN, hmm.. maybe I did once [18:40] iopq, point is, from what I recall, at some point cards started to realize a monitor is plugged into them [18:40] I don't use it [18:40] iopq, and based off of that it could be the order of things gets messsed up [18:40] lesshaste: so uninstall it [18:40] i found a great meme that describes docker [18:40] theTOOLMAN: I'm wanting to switch to linux from my mac, but macos has an actual windows RDP client that works perfectly :/ [18:40] theTOOLMAN, how do you check which ubuntu packages are installed again? [18:40] ask-ygU5AP56, yeah let me try [18:40] iopq, as in the incorrect card gets initialized etc; you could just hardcode an Xorg.conf I think and oughta be fine; on a vanilla distro; I lack knowledge though how it is w/ new X or how ubuntu modifies it [18:41] apt list --installed [18:42] merpnderp: remmina works just as good if not better than the two variants of rdpc i know for mac [18:43] theTOOLMAN: I'm using Microsoft Remote Desktop 8.0.43 and you're saying remmina works better? Cause that is music to my ears. [18:43] yes much better [18:43] and it also provides vnc as well [18:43] oerheks: Sorry about the delay... Big thanks!! That solved it. [18:43] after using it, i started to hate the m$ version on mac [18:43] !windoze [18:43] Please don't use silly misspellings to denigrate other operating systems. It makes users of that system feel attacked and hurts Ubuntu advocacy by making the community look unreasonable. [18:44] or making windoze look like it sucks ;) [18:45] in fact, it got to the point where i installed ubuntu in a virtualbox to run in seamless mode just to use remmina [18:45] and now because i want a layer of abstraction between me and the apple [18:45] !applw [18:45] !apple [18:45] For PPC discussion, join #ubuntu-powerpc. For discussion on Mac software, or help with same, please visit ##apple. [18:45] nacc: do you think it's better to reinstall Ubuntu?

[18:51] ask-ygU5AP56, nope, but I copied all the logs [18:51] iopq, alright, paste [18:52] ask-ygU5AP56, https://pastebin.com/GBgqpYdc [18:52] ask-ygU5AP56 [18:52] iopq, the last thing to try I think is to try w/ the slot as you used before (I recall you mention you had the card in another pcie slot before when using the old discrete graphics - I doubt that'd make a difference, but perhaps) and then w/ the amdgpu proprietry driver [18:53] ask-ygU5AP56 type this /ignore #ubuntu +joins +parts +quits +modes +nicks [18:53] MonkeyDust, I know [18:53] ask-ygU5AP56, https://pastebin.com/9Uu7Tszw [18:53] ask-ygU5AP56, yeah I reseated it in the other slot, made no difference like you said :) [18:54] theTOOLMAN type this /ignore #ubuntu +joins +parts +quits +modes +nicks [18:54] ask-ygU5AP56, https://pastebin.com/tusBCRUQ [18:54] [ 29.703] (WW) xf86OpenConsole: setpgid failed: Operation not permitted [18:54] iopq, I think you pasted the same one [18:55] iopq: i'm guessing that dmesg entry might have something to do with your problem [18:55] [ 29.703] (WW) xf86OpenConsole: setsid failed: Operation not permitted [18:55] i have upgrade and now my owncloud does not work.

[18:57] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/AMD [18:57] that permission message from your dmesg though that theTOOLMAN noticed [18:57] that looks like an issue [18:58] it's only a warning though... [18:58] no. this is def a driver issue [18:58] thats unrelated [18:58] iopq: what card are you running? [18:58] iopq, looks to me like your issue peaked interest in the channel :) [18:58] imma leave you two then to figuring out your common issue.. [18:59] theTOOLMAN I'm running 5750 because my new one died [18:59] ask-ygU5AP56, thanks for your help, at least I can throw logs at people now [18:59] that should be supported [18:59] iopq, no bother [18:59] * ask-ygU5AP56 likes solving [18:59] theTOOLMAN yeah by the open source driver, but the last proprietary driver is for 15.04 [19:00] the machne i have with the dual 7970s has been probelms for years. thinking about going and getting dual nvidia 710s [19:00] i never have problems with my nvidia and intel boxes [19:00] maybe one day ati/amd will put their heads on right [19:01] these 7970s have 3gb of ram on them [19:01] https://hashcat.net/forum/showthread.php?mode=linear&tid=6444&pid=34335 [19:01] they'd probably work good with windows but i don't need that kind of negativity around me [19:01] Access to the web page you were trying to visit has been blocked in accordance with company policy. Please contact your system administrator if you believe this is in error. [19:01] iopq, have a look at this; similar issue; I think hardcoding an xorg.conf still works; [19:01] lol i am the systems adminsitrator damn it [19:01] iopq, so what you need is two entries, one for your intel card and one for your radeon card [19:02] theTOOLMAN, /etc/rc.d/pf stop ? [19:02] ;-) [19:03] ask-ygU5AP56: i'm behind a palo 7050 [19:03] more like add hashcat.net to "theTOOLMANS whitelist" [19:03] ask-ygU5AP56, should I just create that file? [19:03] 120GBps fw throughput [19:03] neat [19:03] fancy [19:04] its like a fridge [19:04] iopq, well, w/ all the correct lines in it [19:04] theTOOLMAN, yeah, I see [19:04] ask-ygU5AP56, I don't know what the correct lines would be, should I just paste his or do I need to actually edit it to be correct for my setup? [19:04] last time I had been doing network setups, 1Gbps was the dogs [19:04] iopq, edit [19:04] ask-ygU5AP56 & theTOOLMAN - can we please keep this to direct ubuntu support? There's always #ubuntu-offtopic for the side banter. [19:05] SlidingHorn, what are we doing other than trying to solve a graphics card issue inside ubuntu? [19:05] SlidingHorn, side of the banter, we're on it [19:05] ask-ygU5AP56: and that's much appreciated. There's also a lot of off-topic banter in the meantime, which is more than welcome in #ubuntu-offtopic :) [19:05] ask-ygU5AP56, yeah I saw nvidia in there :/ so what am I supposed to put in that file? [19:06] iopq, one line for your intel card one line for your radeon card; for examples, turn to the interwebs [19:06] !xorg.conf [19:06] The /etc/X11/xorg.conf file is deprecated, but sometimes may still be needed to pass values to specific drivers. See `man xorg.conf` for file structure and syntax. For Ubuntu-specific documentation and more information, see also https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config [19:06] iopq, man xorg.conf [19:06] or, there you go! [19:06] says its deprecated. what was it replaced by? [19:07] theTOOLMAN, nothing; it's aparently generated on-the-fly [19:07] from what I read here [19:07] i feel like a caveman now. *scratches beard* [19:07] i think this is the important part. [19:07] but sometimes may still be needed to pass values to specific drivers. [19:07] I forgot, man pages make my eyes roll backwards [19:07] yepp [19:07] I need bro pages or something [19:08] hmmmm. try this [19:08] find / -name examples -type d | grep xorg [19:08] grep -i xorg [19:09] find /usr -name examples -type d | grep -i xorg [19:09] anyway; enough of this; iopq I think creating a proper xorg.conf file is to be the solution; w/ correct BusID entries for hard identifying your cards; and separate Device and Screen entries for both cards [19:09] theTOOLMAN, that too iopq [19:09] iopq, may i ask you why you need a xorg.conf ? [19:09] Hello, I have Ubuntu 16.04 and am trying to install mesa on it. I have cloned this repo : git://anongit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa.Also ran ./configure and ./autogen.sh. But am facing the following errors constantly after running 'sudo make': https://pastebin.com/bSZFid0r. Please help me solve it! [19:09] ioria, because my intel integrated graphics doesn't work with the AMD card in [19:09] iopq, he's got two cards, one integrated, one discrete, not works [19:10] iopq, laptop ? [19:10] ioria, desktop [19:10] iopq, and you want your intel working ? [19:11] nikk_: looks like someone didn't link functions properly. have you contacted support or consulted the documentation? [19:11] ioria, yes, it works when I actually shut the system down (so it's actually working otherwise) or when I take the card out - it doesn't work when I set the default to integrated (doesn't find any screens and gives error low graphics mode) [19:11] ioria, but when I take the AMD card out it works fine and it worked with a different (newer) AMD card in [19:11] I am seeing something somewhat strange, Ubuntu 18.04, LXD, In the host OS I seem to be seeing about 4 defunct init processes per container, so on login I am getting "There are 32 zombie processes." Everything seems to be working fine but it seems odd. [19:12] iopq, when you plug the discrete one, the integrated is automatically disabled [19:12] iopq, it's not [19:12] ioria, it's not [19:12] Is there any way to hide snap loop devices from the gnome-system-monitor "file systems" in ubuntu 18.04? [19:12] ioria, clearly not if I see the load-out for Ubuntu when I hit shut down - I actually went into the BIOS and enabled having both [19:12] ioria, he gets dmesg and boot messages on that card w/ the discrete graphics plugged in; also has set the bios to use the integrated card as default [19:13] @theTOOLMAN wee are following the mesa documentation. but facing the hard link error. Can you suggest what should be done? Do we manually do it via 'ln'? [19:14] i'm thinking its more of an ld kinda link [19:14] i don't know anything about mesa though [19:14] iopq, can you please paste sudo lshw -C video ? [19:16] ioria, certainly https://pastebin.com/MsWLbSU7 [19:17] iopq, gl [19:17] * ask-ygU5AP56 & [19:17] theTOOLMAN oh okay, thanks!

I like to know things. =) [20:21] jackhum: otherwise you'd get numbers etc. [20:21] BionicMac: very possible [20:21] jackhum: its hrad to give very specific way forward... useful to compare with a working system humm... [20:22] jackhum: "sudo fdisk -l" will show you your parttions on disk... [20:22] jackhum: is there a ''linux swap'' as something like (maybe) /dev/sda2 or /dev/sda6 or so...? [20:23] enyc, lol , if i remember right someone told me that you dont need swap partition if your memory is 8 gigs or more , stupid person [20:24] enyc, no i dont see any swap partition listed [20:24] jackhum: o dear ;p [20:25] jackhum: i'm not sure the exact way to automount a swap-file, but the easiest thing todo now is just create a sawpfile and i can show you how to 'manually' turn it on [20:25] As far as I know, you should add as much swap as you have ram. [20:25] an 18.04 user would know what the 18.04-new-install swapfile location looks like... [20:25] enyc: you can put swapfiles in fstab [20:25] Wirehunter: it depends entirely on your usage [20:25] nacc: yes [20:25] enyc: that's how you 'automount' them. [20:26] Wirehunter, nacc : yes nacc has right point [20:26] Wirehunter, nacc : for a vm doing reallylly lang compile job i dont have ram for but don't mind it taking ages, huuuge amuonts of swap may be needed comparitvely and i dont care [20:26] Wirehunter, nacc : for 'usabel' desktop it depends how much ''inactive stuff'' you have that might want swapping-out ;p [20:28] Ah, I see. Lot of people saying different things about it. But I have got to say, what you're saying makes sense. [20:28] enyc, this will work https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-add-swap-on-ubuntu-14-04 ? [20:29] There's a general rule of thumb for desktops that works up to a point, but as others have said, it really depends on the use case. I've got servers running with zero swap === tarator85 is now known as tarator [20:31] jackhum: that looks good to me, if i'm no mistaken [20:31] jackhum: /swapfile as 4g they say... you might go 8g for you jsut-in-case but not sure it will make much difference [20:31] Do you still need to use swap in this day and age when you have >8GB of RAM? [20:32] plasm0duck: depnes on your use case ;p [20:32] how so? [20:32] plasm0duck: you know in this era of chromium =) [20:32] I don't think I have ever seen my computer make use of swap [20:32] plasm0duck: yes somee peolpe want to have lots of stuff left-open and let it swap-out while they play game or something, etc etc [20:32] I think it's juse a wast of drive space [20:33] plasm0duck: well quite, it entirely depends what you have open etc etc [20:33] Isn't swap required for hibernation? [20:33] plasm0duck: Good. IMO using SWAP is generally a sign of things getting bad. However, sometimes you need to let that happen in order to deal with a large job [20:33] ok [20:33] akem: +1 I believe so [20:34] plasm0duck: for general users, it's probably not necessary when you get above a certain threshold of RAM, however the downsides of what happens when you do hit that limit combined with the "cost" of just making SWAP space means it's easier to just have it === arij is now known as duck_conch === duck_conch is now known as arij [20:35] What happens if you don't have it? kernel panic or freeze? [20:35] things just start getting killed. Things that you may think are important that the kernel disagrees with [20:36] ok [20:36] aah yes the "oom-reaper" comes along ;p [20:36] 'picks something big and kills it ;p [20:36] sounds terrifying [20:37] https://lwn.net/Articles/668126/ [20:38] this is all off topic, so if we want to continue discussing it we should move to #ubuntu-discuss [20:39] you mean #ubuntu-offtopic [20:39] either way [20:40] I'm always thre [20:48] hey, I'm having issues with setting static IP with netplan [20:48] I use the following YAML: https://codebeautify.org/yaml-validator/cbd763fb [20:48] which is valid [20:48] but netplan apply gives an error [20:48] Error in network definition //etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml line 4 column 13: expected mapping [20:48] enoch85: i'd ask in #ubuntu-server [20:49] ok thanks [20:57] It looks like the problem I'm having is compiling x264 with 18.04, anyone know what should be done to fix this? [21:00] enyc: I'm not sure I would call it overfilled but here: zgrep "Using degraded feature set" ./syslog* | wc -l :: result 3791 [21:02] onefix: well I don't think it's something that's really for this particular channel, but more details might be helpful. Also, why compile? There's a version in the repositories that's pretty recent. [21:02] enyc: since Aril 27th - 3791 log entries.

Actually it looks more like it's probably an x264 issue, but thanks anyhow [21:15] someone with spanish keyboard ? [21:16] aLeSD: Just ask your question [21:16] spanish keyboard could you try to press the minus button ? [21:16] I just upgraded my PC from 17.10 to 18.04 and it does not show the gdm login screen when I boot. Instead I get a shell login prompt. I can execute startx to get into the DE, but how can I debug what's going on for why it's not going to the gdm login screen? [21:16] minus button is \ here [21:16] I know 18.04 is newer, so it's going to be a few weeks/months before everyone has updated their build process [21:17] aLeSD: aLeSD Try dpkg-reconfigure keyboard === czesmir_ is now known as czesmir [21:17] Should I try sddm instead of gdm? [21:17] duckx0r: Did you see if the right target is loaded for GUI instead of the CLI ? [21:18] xamithan, I'm not sure what you are asking [21:18] debkad, dpkg-query: package 'keyboard' is not installed and no information is available [21:18] I'm asking if the graphical.target is enabled [21:19] aLeSD: My bad : It was sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration [21:19] xamithan, Where do I check that? [21:19] systemctl status graphical.target. It'll say enabled or disabled [21:20] I guess you could also do systemctl get-default [21:20] any idea how to use integrated and discrete graphics at the same time? [21:20] hello all [21:20] xamithan, graphical.target loaded active active Graphical Interface [21:21] Ugh probably something specific to GDM then [21:21] duckx0r: you're not the first to report this in this channel; i'd check your syslog, dmesg, xorg log [21:21] duckx0r: and possibly the gdm log [21:21] Is it possible to take /tmp down, re-mount it on a different mount point without requiring system reboot ? Would taking down /tmp cause system crash on 14.04.x ? [21:21] nacc, Alright, I'll do that. [21:24] Haris: why would you want to? [21:25] because its size is too small [21:25] initramfs op failed on apt-get upgrade [21:25] generation of initramfs failed .. [21:25] Haris: you setup a /tmp disk? [21:25] more like I inherited one [21:25] Haris: /tmp is by default not a separate partition [21:26] overflow 1.0M 0 1.0M 0% /tmp [21:26] what is it backed by? [21:26] Haris: What size you want it to be? [21:26] I want it to be a dir under /. It'd inherit root partition's disk space [21:26] Haris: that appears to be soemting (old ubuntu did this iirc) trying to keep you limping along when youa re out of disk [21:26] Haris: 'overflow' is definitely not a standard thing [21:27] http://jarrodoverson.com/blog/overflow-filesystem-in-linux/ [21:27] nacc, nothing I can see in syslog would indicate there were any errors upon booting. And I don't have dmesg, xorg or gdm logs. [21:27] duckx0r: dmesg is a command [21:27] nacc, ah.. [21:28] Haris: right, what tomreyn linked to is my recolleciton, the initramfs failed to have enough space in / and so it created a tmpfs in /tmp [21:28] Haris: otherwise you can't even get to a shell (iirc) [21:29] Hey! [21:29] would it crash a system if I un-mounted /tmp or overflow ? [21:29] so /tmp is not a partition, how would you unmount it? [21:30] hmm [21:30] Haris: what is the state of your root partition? [21:30] Haris: you can increase its size like this sudo mount -o remount,size=4G /tmp/ ( to make it 4G in size ) [21:30] --> /dev/xvda1 20G 1.3G 18G 7% / [21:30] oh [21:31] Its an Amazon AWS instance [21:31] iopq: what is your use case? [21:31] Haris: Then take a look at this ( if you want to move it ) https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/5489/how-to-safely-move-tmp-to-a-different-volume?utm_medium=organic&utm_source=google_rich_qa&utm_campaign=google_rich_qa [21:32] Haris: you can see if anyting is using /tmp (lsof /tmp) or so [21:32] and then try and umount it [21:32] Do you guys know how I can run steam without terminal? There's no icon on my pc and it only starts when I open it via terminal [21:33] nacc, Here's my dmesg. I don't see anything except for the segfault at the end, but that is at 847 seconds and some apparmor denied, but for mysql, so I have my doubts that would prevent gdm from loading. https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/MPf73pxSVs/ [21:33] shmotten: Create a launcher and/or a desktop file for it ( google that ) [21:33] shmotten, how did you install it [21:33] via terminal I think [21:33] shmotten: there should be icons if you are using the ubuntu package [21:34] I think I'll just try to reinstall it and see if that fixes anything if it should have icons [21:35] brainwash, GPU doesn't have a second DVI output and I want to use two monitors [21:35] hello! When i run "reboot" from a terminal, ubuntu does reboot but i am not offered any grub choice (its like it auto select ubuntu) while when i force restart it, (with a long stop button press) it works fine. Any idea why ? [21:36] (1) move /tmp to new name (2) then, mkdir /tmp (3) put an entry in /etc/fstab if needed. and reboot (at max). This will make it work ? [21:37] Haris: if nothing is using /tmp then you don't need to do any of that [21:37] Haris: this might help: mkdir /overflow; mount --move /tmp /overflow; mv -fuv /overflow/* /tmp/; mv -fuv /overflow/.* /tmp/ [21:37] Haris: and it's relativley unikely anything is using a 1M /tmp [21:37] its empty. but I don't know [21:37] Haris: i gave you the command to use to check... [21:37] no output from lsof /tmp/ [21:37] Haris: you can also use `lsof +L1 /tmp` to check on unlinked files [21:37] well if it's empty then just unomunt it [21:38] also umount will deny you if you try to and it's in use [21:38] unmount will fail if its in use [21:38] iopq: wouldn't you need a second output? [21:38] this is my primary db server. can't afford to have it fail on me [21:38] for this work [21:38] so your disk ran full on your primary db server? [21:38] only /tmp [21:39] not the other volumes [21:39] so it is a seperate partition? [21:39] brainwash, I have one on my onboard [21:39] overflow 1.0M 0 1.0M 0% /tmp [21:39] that's the overflow file system [21:39] Haris: not as it is now, but in general [21:39] tomreyn, no > I want it to be a dir under /. It'd inherit root partition's disk space [21:39] apparently you didnt read the article i pointed to. [21:39] brainwash brb rebooting [21:40] there was just one para on that link [21:40] Mocramis: probably it's configured to not show grub by defeault, spam escape after reboot [21:40] * Haris re-opens the link [21:41] Haris: maybe i just expressed myself badly. before there was this 1M /tmp, eas /tmp a separate file sytem or was it part of / ? [21:41] eas -> was [21:41] I'm back [21:41] https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/5489/how-to-safely-move-tmp-to-a-different-volume?utm_medium=organic&utm_source=google_rich_qa&utm_campaign=google_rich_qa <- this suggests if I fiddle with /tmp on an active system, I might have an un-recoverable system [21:41] (also, afaict, the overflow /tmp isn't a thing that will just appear -- it will have been that case for some time) [21:41] Haris: what is the underlying error you are getting, and from where? [21:42] fortunately I still have the scroll back [21:42] Haris: what is the underlying error you are getting, and from where? [21:42] Haris: sorry, mistype here [21:43] nacc: but how does it manages to tell grub not to show up only after a reboot ? [21:43] Mocramis: on a hard stop, you do see grub every time? [21:43] Mocramis: power off and on, i mean [21:43] https://pastebin.ca/4020735 or https://pastebin.ca/raw/4020735 [21:43] nacc yes [21:44] Haris: has this server been updated since it's last reboot? [21:44] not sure [21:44] I think yes [21:44] iopq: and what does not work? [21:44] but not sure [21:44] Haris: apt-get updated, i mean [21:44] Haris: (and upgraded) [21:44] note, that im' running reboot from command line, didn't tried from the interface [21:44] apt-get update I run frequently. apt-get upgrade, not sure [21:44] Haris: i'm fairly sure your /tmp has been small since your last reboot [21:44] yes. agreed [21:45] nacc, Just to let you know, I was able to get it to start gdm. I did `dpkg-reconfigure sddm` and selected sddm, then `dpkg-reconfigure gdm` and selected gdm. It gave me some sort of error about invoke-rc.d, so I then did `invoke-rc.d gdm3 start`, and it started gdm fine. Then on next reboot as well. So I'm not sure what there actually caused it to work. Where would be a good place to file a bug report? [21:45] Haris: and you possibly just never noticed til a kernel update came, which requires using /tmp for building the initrd locally [21:45] d [21:45] yep [21:45] duckx0r: ubuntu-bug gdm3 i think [21:45] hey. anybody knows how to change a keyboard shortcut on ubuntu 18.04 ? [21:45] duckx0r: it's not clear to me either, though [21:45] duckx0r: it also is one of those things that is going to be hard to reprodcue without reinstalling and re-upgrading [21:45] Anyone with a Dell laptop experience screen tearing on 18.04? [21:46] nacc, Yeah, could be. [21:46] Haris: so if lsof indicates nothing is using /tmp, open or unlinked, then i'd just umount it [21:46] I'm worried the system might not reboot back .. on next reboot .. especially since I'll be taking this step [21:46] Haris: it should then default back to the normal /tmp behavior (justa directory in /) [21:46] if there is no space, i guess that system is mounted RO [21:47] Haris: ... why do you think that? [21:47] Haris: this overflow fileysstem is not permanent [21:47] because the initrd build process initiated, but failed [21:47] to end properly [21:47] nacc, Well I was previously using lightdm before upgrade, but since that was removed I selected gdm. So that *could* be something. Anyone with both kde and gnome installed could run into the same issue. [21:47] Haris: /tmp itself is not permanent [21:47] Haris: Your problem is more than just a /tmp moving but the whole system require at least more few Gb ( 7% ) is not enough [21:47] Haris: right, you're going to umount /tmp, then rerun apt [21:47] debkad: huh? that's 7% used [21:48] data volume is separate. nothing much going on / [21:48] ok [21:48] Haris: we're not going to reboot your machine until we have it cleanly updated [21:48] i.e., unmount overflow ? [21:48] oh yeah my bad [21:48] Haris: umount /tmp [21:48] overflow *might* work, but i'm not as confident in that [21:48] So increasing your /tmp will help [21:49] no, just unmount [21:49] he's got enough space on / now [21:49] right [21:49] but / must have filled up at some point [21:49] So. [21:49] https://i.imgur.com/8jx7sdj.png [21:49] yep [21:50] I am facing this problem. [21:50] What's wrong? [21:50] it did. we moved off db to separate data volume [21:50] anybody knows how to change a keyboard shortcut on ubuntu 18.04 ? [21:50] Haris: right, which is what tomreyn asked a bit ago :) [21:50] so your disk ran full on your primary db server? [21:50] only /tmp [21:50] not the other volumes [21:50] CheetahPixie: you're using a ppa [21:50] my bad [21:50] CheetahPixie: and command-not-found only knows about the ubuntu packages [21:51] CheetahPixie: wine-stable 3.0.0~artfulis not an ubuntu package version [21:51] 8 not upgraded .. perform apt full-upgrade [21:51] oerheks: won't matter in this regard [21:51] Hi all. Ubuntu 18.04 server, two ethernet ports on ethernet card. Network connection will not detect internet access, although I have access. Network status icon in top right side statusbar does not show up.

[21:59] eddyready: this is not so much a matter of $LAPTOP_BRAND but more of $GRAPHICS_DRIVER [22:00] would an initrd build failure mean that the old build is going to function "as it was" [22:00] iopq: is it powered on? [22:00] means+ [22:00] Haris: it depends on if it's a new version, or a rebuild of an old version, but i think it won't have overwritten your prior initrd yet [22:00] RNeville: why did you ask about 18.04 then?

[22:02] I think if you check nacc you'll find that this is a know bug for full drive encryption under 16.04 [22:02] RNeville: ... i've been using full disk encryption for years [22:03] RNeville: so unless you mean something else, you'd need to be more specific [22:03] nacc: it seems poweroff is affected as well [22:03] boot partition is only 200 meg by default install under 16.04 and becomes full to the point that updates will not install [22:03] I lost connection to my box [22:03] *ouch* [22:03] I just hope I didn't kill myself [22:03] looks like it crashed [22:04] brainwash, :D it even shows a picture when I hit reboot - just not while Ubuntu is running [22:04] I (1) unmounted /tmp (2) ran apt-get update && apt-get upgrade. after that, the system crashed [22:05] big ouch for me [22:05] last long term release of Ubuntu, again if not mistaken, also had this problem with boot of only 200 meg - which cause it to become full (when running full drive encryption) and OS wouldn't update [22:05] boot partition/** [22:05] *whew* [22:06] nothing happened. I just lost 2 ssh connections. That's all [22:06] ssh reconnect worked ok [22:07] iopq: then maybe disable runpm [22:07] does this ( https://pastebin.ca/4020740 or https://pastebin.ca/raw/4020740 ) mean this went normally ? [22:08] iopq: cat /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch will show you the power states for both gpus [22:08] Haris: what you posted is a successful system update, though you have "1 not fully installed or removed" [22:08] brainwash, doesn't exist [22:09] yep. don't recognize that part [22:09] ok, so at least next reboot should go ok [22:09] machine is safe [22:09] brainwash: unless you have bad thrid party apt repositories (PPAs) installed oyu should also "apt-get dist-upgrade". [22:09] thx nacc [22:09] RNeville: that's why you do autoremove; and i don't think the defualt is 200M anymore, but i've not don a fresh install in some time [22:10] brainwash: sorry, this wasnt meant for you [22:10] um [22:10] wait [22:10] Haris: unless you have bad thrid party apt repositories (PPAs) installed oyu should also "apt-get dist-upgrade". [22:10] can't go for that yet. not untill our guys upgrade or migrate the app off of it [22:10] once that's done, I can then do dist-upgrade [22:11] Haris: i'd also check "df -h" again, especially looking for /tmp, if any. [22:11] I mean we haven't reached that point yet [22:11] Haris: dist-upgrade doesn't release upgrade [22:11] no /tmp in df -ah output [22:11] hmm [22:11] Haris: also, you can always -s apt-get to simulate it [22:11] Haris: to see what it wants to do, that is [22:11] apt-get -s dist-upgrade? [22:11] yes [22:12] yeah, im pretty sure that's supported even back to 14.04 [22:12] you can check the manpage [22:12] https://pastebin.ca/4020742 [22:12] I worked nacc for hours in the past with help with the boot partition problem and autoremove didn't work properly. Anyway, I'm a nobe with Linux, so maybe I'm mistaken; however, if the default for boot is no long 200 meg this should now solve the full drive encryption problem I was having in the past [22:13] help from this chatroom/** [22:13] noob/** [22:13] don't believe I have third party repos' on this one [22:13] RNeville: hard for me to speculate [22:13] um [22:13] RNeville: *if* autoremove doesn't work, it could be a bug [22:14] iopq: what does "cat /proc/cmdline" give? [22:14] i'm still seeing those with all ppas removed nacc [22:14] standard repos' [22:14] CheetahPixie: seeing what? [22:14] Haris: this looks good / safe. you want the patched kernel. [22:14] gimme a moment though [22:14] ok, running dist-upgrade [22:14] the stray wine stuff [22:14] CheetahPixie: did you purge the ppas? [22:15] thx nacc, again a noob, so everything is a struggle - and must admit after this last reinstall of Ubuntu 16.04 I haven't gotten the "boot" partition full problem - so maybe bug is fixed, now, anyway [22:15] okay [22:15] so i now have 2.0.2ubuntu1 [22:15] brainwash, BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.4.0-122-generic root=UUID=dd03a09e-3614-4e44-8a15-5e5d24b64477 ro quiet splash acpi_enforce_resources=lax vt.handoff=7 [22:15] annnd from the ubuntu official repos: 3.7.0~artful [22:16] Haris: by the way (for next time) there is also #ubuntu-server - a bit calmer than here, if you like. [22:16] https://pastebin.ca/4020743 or https://pastebin.ca/raw/4020743 [22:16] RNeville, 200 megs is awfully small for a boot partition. I had it set to ~250 megs for a while and I was constantly running into errors with the partition being full. [22:16] for this specific box, I speculatae it wasn't installed with the server image [22:17] However, after last reinstall of Ubuntu 16.04 I got libreoffice version 5.1.6.21 as default word processor [22:17] thx duckx0r [22:17] %s/speculatae/speculate/ [22:19] CheetahPixie: apt-cache policy the package name [22:19] CheetahPixie: that's *not* from the official ubuntu repos [22:19] Haris: probably an AMI. tose installed kernels make me think you may currently be running linux 3.13.0-48. you really need to reboot soon then. [22:19] iopq: I guess you'll have to find out why the vgaswitcheroo path is missing [22:20] Haris: less of an issue if it's firewalled, but still. [22:22] Got rid of them. [22:22] ...Is the latest wine-devel only 2.18? [22:22] thank you all [22:23] I'm going to defer reboot till I'v had some good amount of sleep [22:23] this much is ok for now [22:23] CheetahPixie: wine-devel is not an ubuntu package [22:23] wine-development [22:23] !info wine-development bionic [22:23] wine-development (source: wine-development): Windows API implementation - standard suite. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.6-1 (bionic), package size 50 kB, installed size 189 kB [22:24] !info wine-development artful [22:24] wine-development (source: wine-development): Windows API implementation - standard suite. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.18-1 (artful), package size 50 kB, installed size 186 kB [22:24] I'm on Artful. [22:24] CheetahPixie: are you on artul? [22:24] ok [22:24] CheetahPixie: then yes. [22:24] RIP. [22:24] Tiem to upgrade. [22:25] eh [22:25] guess I'll install wine-development just to run this one program and pause its progress. [22:25] !artful [22:25] Ubuntu 17.10 (Artful Aardvark) was the 27th release of Ubuntu. Download at http://releases.ubuntu.com/17.10/ - Release Info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArtfulAardvark/ReleaseNotes [22:25] not yet eol [22:26] tomreyn: no, but they want a newer version of wine [22:26] oh, right [22:29] My problem in a nutshell: A program crashes as soon as I press a hotkey, [22:32] CheetahPixie, try to install in gameonlinux 'container'? It can download and use specific wine version. [22:39] CheetahPixie: a program in wine? === charlie_ is now known as Guest15818 === Trystam is now known as Tristam [22:48] nacc: yes [22:48] shevchuk: not listed on playonlinux, had issues trying [22:51] CheetahPixie: i mean that's sort of a common thing [22:51] CheetahPixie: did you check the wine db to see if its a known working app? [22:51] ...I ran it. [22:51] It works. [22:51] (Apart from hotkeys.) [22:51] CheetahPixie: honestly, I have never really understood the perspective of users re: "My wine app failed" ... it's a hack of an emulation to run windows apps under linux [22:51] CheetahPixie: then it doesn't "work" ) [22:51] ) [22:51] bah stupid keyboard, that was supposed to be :) [22:52] Not fully, but 4/5. :P [22:52] Alright, paused. [22:52] Let's upgrade. [22:59] CheetahPixie: good luck [23:02] "remove: gnustep-back0.25" [23:02] "Huh, what is this GNUstep thing?" [23:02] remember I was experimenting with alternate sessions a bit back; "Oh, that thing, heh." [23:22] Hi guys. Which config file do I have to edit to modify the GDM greeter theme [23:22] Or rather, change it to another [23:24] hi [23:25] im struggling installing bumblebee to work for my optimus nvidia card [23:25] i install it and i get this error line: rmmod: ERROR: Module nouveau is in use [23:31] what is the advantage of encrypting on setup with LCM vs later with something like veracrypt [23:31] hid: you'll either need to reboot or shutdown your display manager and X or blacklist nouveau and reboot, possibly continuing your work from an emergency shell if your reconfigured graphical desktop will not work, yet [23:31] LVM** [23:33] tomreyn: is it posible that i blacklist nouveau then the vidia driver doesnt work so my screen displays nothing [23:33] nvidia* [23:33] Privateer: if you have the block device encryption layer below the LVM PV you will have to decrypt only that at boot. if you have it on the LVs you'll need to decrypt each of them. [23:33] i did reboot several times :/ [23:34] hid: it would fall back to vesa. but i'm not able to guide you with this setup, i don't have (and do not like to support) nvidia. [23:35] hey everyone. i haven't been able to get audio going through firefox since it started to require pulseaudio (admittedly i haven't tried super hard). i have pulseaudio installed, and afaik it's installed on ubuntu by default? has anyone else had this issue? [23:35] i'd rather not use chrome, but that's what i've been doing for audio and it's pretty annoying [23:36] Privateer: oh, by "on setup" you propbably mean during ubuntu installation? [23:37] tomreyn: yes [23:37] Privateer: then i got your question a little wrong. there are ways to add the block device encryption layer later on by moving unencrypted data to encrypted block devices. but it's a lot more complicated than setting it up initially, and thus more error prone. [23:38] Privateer: it also means you wrote the data unencrypted to the storage in the4 first place,which you should try not to do. [23:38] Anyone with a Dell laptop experience screen tearing on 18.04? [23:39] Privateer: so if you're serious about full disk encryption, you need to do it with fresh storages and on first write. [23:39] eddyready are you using the default window manager? are you using integrated graphics or do you have a dedicated amd/nvidia gpu? [23:40] tomreyn: I didn't know if veracrypt was better than the installers version of encryption [23:40] zanakyn: yes, pulse audio is the default on ubuntu. are you not using pulseaudio then? or were you not using it? are you using ubuntu? which release? lsb_release -ds [23:41] tomreyn no i am using pulseaudio. basically haven't touched it, that's why im confused. i'm using ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS [23:42] Privateer: dmcrypt-luks, which the installer offers, is definitely a better choice on linux (and i might say in general). [23:42] firefox complains that i may need to install it, not sure why it's unable to use it [23:42] i've got pulseaudio 8.0 installed [23:43] zanakyn: is firefox or pulseaudio from a 3rd party apt respositry? [23:43] i don't think so, but let me check what i've added to my sources [23:44] zanakyn: sudo apt update; sudo apt-cache policy [23:44] zanakyn: you are welcome to show the output of these commands on a !paste [23:44] !paste [23:44] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use https://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use https://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [23:44] everything i've got in /etc/apt/sources.list is from an ubuntu host looks like [23:46] zanakyn: that's fine, but you also have /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ - "apt-cache policy" (when run after a successful "apt-get update") shows the actual sources configured [23:46] yeah you're right, i see that. looks like i've added the sources for kivy and the nvidia gpu drivers [23:47] i wouldnt think either of those would do anything with pulseaudio [23:47] * tomreyn does not know either [23:47] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/zVgbT5qrWz/ [23:47] there's the output [23:47] thanks for your help btw [23:49] oof ok yeah i've got a few more than that. i think they're pretty narrow though, for specific software. then again looking up the official version, my installed pulseaudio is like 3 major versions behind [23:49] wlecome zanakyn. i'm not entirely sure, but those can be fine. you can run "apt-cache policy PACKAGENAME" to find out where PACKAGENAME (i.e. a specific package you put there) is installed from. [23:50] yeah, it's from the ubuntu archives [23:50] 500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates/main amd64 Packages [23:50] zanakyn: pulseaudio 8 is in 16.04, that's fine in general, but you might have a patched version from another source, which would be good to rule out. [23:51] zanakyn: what does it say in the line above that? [23:51] yeah good to check up on. i didnt know you could find out the source that provided the package so easily [23:52] here's the full output https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/KmWgXq4btM/ [23:52] okay, now i'm convinced, too. ;-) try the same for firefox [23:53] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/ZYfdJBYYkW/ [23:53] looks pretty similar [23:54] right [23:54] im only one minor version behind looks like. firefox 59.0.2 instead of 59.0.3, but taht was just released 3 days ago [23:54] i know this pulseaudio req came about a couple of months ago. i've been kind of lazy trying to resolve it [23:54] zanakyn: i suggest you run firefox from a temrinal and capture its output there to a file: firefox &> /tmp/firefox.out [23:55] ok one sec [23:56] wth [23:56] i just got audio output and i don't know why [23:56] lmao [23:56] Hey, I had ubuntu and windows dual booting but I moved a partition that I shouldn't have and now I can't boot. Please advise? [23:56] i don't think i did anything [23:57] Hashtag did you move the ubuntu boot partition or windows boot partition? or a different one? [23:57] zanakyn: maybe it just felt left out and wanted to get you to give it some attention. [23:58] zanakyn: I moved the ubuntu root partition, which has grub on it [23:58] lol i guess so, but then its pretty fickle. i've been using it for literally everything except video content :P [23:58] is there a downside to installing the latest kernel vs going with what is provided after all the updates have been ran after install [23:59] ok so in that case, as long as you didnt move it over another partition i think you should be fine? it's been a while since i've had to reconfigure my partitons but i think you'd just want to boot from a live-boot usb and reconfigure grub [23:59] Hashtag: how did you juggle them around? [23:59] Hashtag: i mean, what was the layout before, what did you try to change it to, and did it seme to have succeeded?
