| Hashtag | tomreyn: It was pretty stupid... I tried resizing the linux root partition because I was running out of space. There was unallocated space in front of it. | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| tomreyn | Privateer: lack of security and bug fixes. something you do not want to miss out on. | 00:00 |
| Hashtag | I tried expanding the partition to have the unallocated space. It worked, technically | 00:01 |
| Hashtag | But now grub won't load | 00:01 |
| tomreyn | Privateer: reading again, i maybe got you wrong there. by "the latest kernel", do you mean !mainline or !hwe? | 00:01 |
| Hashtag | zanakyn: I have a live usb running now. I just don't know what to do since I didn't have a decidated partition for grub | 00:01 |
| tomreyn | Hashtag: you should always install grub to / , it can boot both linux and windows if you have the "os-prober" package installed (by default you do). | 00:03 |
| Hashtag | tomreyn: I have gparted open on the live usb but I don't see anything about / | 00:04 |
| tomreyn | Hashtag: what you'd need to do now is to chroot into the existing ubuntu installaiton on permanent storage, then run update--grub and grub-install to the the boot sector or your first hdd (usually /dev/sda) | 00:04 |
| zanakyn | well one thing i'm reading here https://askubuntu.com/questions/190763/install-grub-to-ubuntu-partition is "Installing GRUB in a partition is not recommended and generally considered to be a bad idea. One is usually better off letting Ubuntu install GRUB in the hard drive's MBR. " | 00:04 |
| tomreyn | Hashtag: i dont think gparted cna fix this for you. | 00:04 |
| Hashtag | tomreyn: so it's like these instructions? https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2189341&p=12854384#post12854384 | 00:05 |
| zanakyn | though i thought you actually installed it into the linux install partition, or one of it's own. i didn't realize you typically have it installed into the MBR directly | 00:05 |
| tomreyn | Hashtag: roughly, yes, but this is not complete. let me find better ones | 00:06 |
| Hashtag | zanakyn: yeah, i noticed that when I was deciding how to set it up | 00:06 |
| tomreyn | Hashtag: steps 3 to 7 of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCdRecovery#Update_Failure | 00:08 |
| tomreyn | Hashtag: in step 3 you need to replace "sda1" by what your actual permanant ubuntu / file system is on | 00:09 |
| tomreyn | Hashtag: if this sounds compleicated i can guide a little. | 00:09 |
| Hashtag | tomreyn: ah, I was about to ask why sda1 | 00:09 |
| tomreyn | yes, it can be any other | 00:10 |
| tomreyn | lsblk would probably hint on it enough | 00:10 |
| Kon- | zanakyn: if your root partition is on /dev/sda1 or /dev/sda2, etc, GRUB should be installed to /dev/sda | 00:10 |
| Hashtag | tomreyn: I used chroot and it tells me 'grub' is currently not installed. that's rather odd | 00:11 |
| zanakyn | gotcha Kon. i guess i thought /dev/sda was just the device entry itself that was not really writable (at least not meant to be by user applications like that). i know grub is a special case since you're using it to boot. | 00:12 |
| tomreyn | Hashtag: on 16.04, the "grub" command is provided as part of the "grub" package, whic is grub 1, AKA legacy grub. you probably do not want this package nor this command. | 00:13 |
| tomreyn | so not odd at all | 00:13 |
| tomreyn | note also how "update-grub" and "grub-install" (the commands you should be running inside the chroot) are different commands to "grub" (which you dont need) | 00:14 |
| Hashtag | tomreyn: goodness, I was looking at the wrong set of instructions. The browser on this computer I'm using is a little weird. You mean the "Update Failure" instructions, right? | 00:15 |
| Hashtag | I'm rebooting now | 00:15 |
| Hashtag | It works! I've got grub back | 00:16 |
| Hashtag | Thanks tomreyn and zanakyn | 00:17 |
| Hashtag | I just hope I gave it enough space and I don't have to go through that again | 00:17 |
| tomreyn | Hashtag: congrats | 00:17 |
| zanakyn | awesome Hashtag. glad it's working for you | 00:18 |
| tomreyn | Hashtag: resizing stuff should not result in loosing grub functionality again since oyu have it on the MBR now. but keep in mind you alwas need to have backups before you juggle partitions / filke systems. | 00:18 |
| zanakyn | speaking of, you guys. i've got about 50gb of unallocated space before the start of my linux partition that i'd like to use for the linux partition. i know typically its easy to expand the partition forward but not backwards | 00:19 |
| zanakyn | what are my options here? | 00:19 |
| Hashtag | tomreyn: yes, I realize the importance of backups now | 00:19 |
| zanakyn | btw Hashtag https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem/TAR | 00:19 |
| Hashtag | zanakyn: Thanks. I should get an external drive and look into this | 00:20 |
| tomreyn | Hashtag: it's a daily experience that people come here seeking help with partitioning mistakes / errors or just follow up errors, and many dont have good backups, and it's just sad. | 00:20 |
| zanakyn | not super hard :) and you can get a nice gzip or bz2 archived backup that doesn't have a bunch of space an image would have. i think as far as restoring you basically create a partition to hold the backedup data, extract there, then reconfigure and install grub again | 00:20 |
| zanakyn | just make sure you test your backup too before you rely on it! | 00:21 |
| mortal1 | guys I need help figuring out what's going on with my ssd. When i try to boot my system i get something along the lines of volume group not found, and it drops me into initramfs | 00:21 |
| Hashtag | good point | 00:21 |
| mortal1 | what's more worrysome to me is that when i boot off of a 16.04 install disk, it doesn't even *see* my ssd | 00:21 |
| mortal1 | and i've checked it's connection in the socket a couple times | 00:21 |
| mortal1 | it's seated snugly | 00:22 |
| tomreyn | Hashtag: test as in actually restore form a backup, otherwise it's not worth much. | 00:22 |
| mortal1 | when i run lsblk i don't even see it in the list | 00:22 |
| mortal1 | (or in fdisk for that matter | 00:22 |
| tomreyn | Hashtag: the tar approach is fine, if you want something more advanced look into restic or boxbackup. | 00:22 |
| Hashtag | tomreyn: that was almost me | 00:22 |
| tomreyn | :) | 00:23 |
| zanakyn | mortal1 im no expert here, but i think you were right worrying about the connection. any chance the sata port on the mobo is bad? have you tried a different one there? i wouldnt expect it to be but eh, doesnt hurt to check | 00:23 |
| mortal1 | i don't have a spare ssd to check | 00:23 |
| tomreyn | mortal1: what changed between when it worked and when it didn't? | 00:24 |
| mortal1 | i guess i'll have to bring it into work tomorrow and let IT look at it | 00:24 |
| zanakyn | well i mean maybe unplug/replug into a different socket on the mobo side? | 00:24 |
| mortal1 | i spilled coffee on my keyboard | 00:24 |
| zanakyn | oh | 00:24 |
| mortal1 | and immediately wiped it off | 00:24 |
| mortal1 | and shut it down | 00:24 |
| tomreyn | mortal1: is that a laptop? | 00:24 |
| mortal1 | aye | 00:24 |
| tomreyn | so the ssd was below it, right? | 00:24 |
| mortal1 | the ssd didn't get effected i don't think | 00:25 |
| tomreyn | mortal1: do you have a desktop computer, too? | 00:25 |
| mortal1 | i openned the case to look at it, there was a bit of a stain onthe bat | 00:25 |
| mortal1 | i do not | 00:25 |
| mortal1 | just a mbp | 00:25 |
| tomreyn | mortal1: whats an mbp? | 00:25 |
| mortal1 | mac book | 00:25 |
| tomreyn | mortal1: oh, okay, can you actually remove the ssd off it? | 00:26 |
| mortal1 | i cannot | 00:26 |
| mortal1 | not if i wanted a job to go back to :^) | 00:26 |
| tomreyn | well, then i guess the "let the IT guys fix it" approach sounds reasonable. | 00:26 |
| linux_noobian | how do i create a new folder when there's no white space in nautilus? Every time I right-click it gives me file and folder options, no options to create new folder | 00:27 |
| mortal1 | sound isn't working either, but screw it, i just want to back up stuff off my drive | 00:27 |
| mortal1 | Reminder, if you don't have tested incremental backups, you might be screwed, learn from my pain | 00:28 |
| mortal1 | what's weird to me, though, is that the bios seems to recognize a hard drive | 00:28 |
| zanakyn | im glad you said this before i tried the 18.04 update. i haven't backed up in months | 00:28 |
| mortal1 | oh yeah, i was like, hey i should back up my /home | 00:29 |
| mortal1 | before installing, | 00:29 |
| mortal1 | and this happened | 00:29 |
| tomreyn | zanakyn: i missed your question earlier. if you have backups, you can just boot from a live / installer, install gparted and resize the partition. expanding the partiution forward is not an issue. | 00:29 |
| Hashtag | linux_noobian: is there an option under "edit"? | 00:29 |
| mortal1 | I'm gona go hunting around in my bios for a bit | 00:30 |
| eddyready | zanakyn: integrated intel graphics. | 00:30 |
| zanakyn | tomreyn oh yeah. issue is i have no space foward. i have 50gb before the linux partiton. my partition map is basically: |windows| 50gb unallocated| ubuntu| on that drive | 00:30 |
| zanakyn | eddyready was the screen tearing everywhere? or just in web browser when doing like youtube/netflix playback or something? | 00:31 |
| tomreyn | zanakyn: so just grow the ubuntu one to also tack up the 50 gb unallocated. no problem. | 00:31 |
| guiverc | linux_noobian, if using the icon view, white space is easier to find | 00:31 |
| linux_noobian | Hashtag: no, i don't see "edit". but i figured something out, i can do it with icon view, not with list view | 00:31 |
| zanakyn | i thought you can't grow the partition backwards though? | 00:31 |
| eddyready | zanakyn: it tears when moving the file manager and web browser window | 00:31 |
| zanakyn | ok that i haven't seen. are you running in a VM? | 00:31 |
| linux_noobian | guiverc: so i found out. would be good to know how to anyway because i always use list view. i guess i could memorize another hotkey but since using linux, my memory is filled up with hotkeys | 00:32 |
| eddyready | zanakyn: on a physical dell laptop | 00:32 |
| zanakyn | external monitor or the integrated one? | 00:32 |
| eddyready | zanakyn: I tried with and without. Tears on both | 00:32 |
| linux_noobian | gnome's workflow takes so long to get used to. i'm used to kde where you have tons of options not hidden from you | 00:33 |
| eddyready | zanakyn: when I boot into the live cd to install Ubuntu, it appears to be fine there ie I can move the file manager around and it feels smooth | 00:33 |
| zanakyn | are you using gnome (that's default now with 18.04 right?) or another window manager like i3 or something? | 00:33 |
| eddyready | zanakyn: after installation it tears | 00:33 |
| eddyready | zanakyn: its the default gnome one. Running the official ubuntu on default | 00:34 |
| tomreyn | linux_noobian: i'm not actually sure this works with nautilus, but it's worth a try. change into the directory you plan to create a new (child) directory under, click anywhere on the right pane (type of view should not matter, and you can also single click a directory or file, no problem) and press ctrl-shift-n | 00:34 |
| tomreyn | that's what works in xubuntu's (xfce's) file browser "thunar", anyways | 00:35 |
| zanakyn | so, i've gotten a bit of screen tearing when using i3 with different apps. and upon my research i foudn it's because i3 is a window manager without a compositor. and the compositor is typically the part that handles double buffering the screen, i think. could be an issue with how whatever the compositor is with gnome is set up on your desktop install? | 00:35 |
| zanakyn | i know thats not super helpful, but might help get you started researching | 00:35 |
| zanakyn | its tricky that the install is behaving different than the live usb. is the live usb also the same ubuntu version? | 00:36 |
| linux_noobian | tomreyn: i know, i'd rather not memorize hotkeys though just to create a new folder. that's one accessibility feature gnome forgets with its 'simple yet hard' workflow. some of us are more visual and suck at remembering hotkeys and commands | 00:36 |
| eddyready | zanakyn: yes it is. I also tried it on a lenovo laptop and no tearing there. | 00:36 |
| eddyready | might have to revert back to 16.04 for now | 00:37 |
| tomreyn | linux_noobian: 'n' as in 'new (folder)', it's doable. ;-) | 00:37 |
| tomreyn | but i see your point, too | 00:37 |
| linux_noobian | disregarding those things, been a while since i used linux and especially gnome but overall a good experience | 00:38 |
| zanakyn | are there different nouveau driver versions you can swap between in your graphics driver settings eddyready? thats the only other thing ic an think to try | 00:38 |
| zanakyn | especially if you have a really old or really new intel hd version | 00:38 |
| linux_noobian | test | 00:52 |

| fareast | is that the truth and do I want to fool around with device drivers all day? | 01:07 |

| fareast | I know it sounds insane but I might actually install windows see if my acpi is working and then if I can update the bios in windows traditionally | 01:24 |
| fareast | then go back to linux | 01:24 |
| fareast | this is a refurbished machine. I am refurbishing it. | 01:24 |

| fareast | not that I can't do it but do I want to invest the time.... | 01:26 |
| tomreyn | fareast: the firmware is packages as an ms-dos executable, so it may not actually work on windows, but require you to run it from freedos. | 01:29 |

| guiverc | sysfault, if you have gnome-disks loaded I'd read its SMART report; otherwise `smartctl` | 02:02 |
| sysfault | guiverc: is there a specific app i have to install? | 02:03 |
| sysfault | installing now in fact guiverc | 02:04 |
| guiverc | sysfault, depends on what ubuntu you are using. I'd just look in your menu (if unity) and see if it knows 'gnome-disks' or just 'disks' .. | 02:04 |
| sysfault | this sucks. could i get a nice eSATA drive if this hd does decide to fail? | 02:05 |
| sysfault | external | 02:05 |
| guiverc | smartctl is a command line tool found in `smartmontools` (from memory) | 02:05 |
| sysfault | without a working hd in the laptop could i run my os from an external hd? | 02:06 |
| sysfault | and should i be running smartctl on /dev/sda? or the numbered partitions? | 02:06 |
| guiverc | i have a laptop with dead drive; I use it from usb-thumb-drive so I'd expect a ext-hdd to work too (does depend on laptop though) | 02:06 |
| guiverc | smartctl reads drives (thus devices) and not partitions - it reads data from the drive chips (not touching data/platters/cells..) | 02:07 |
| sysfault | i guess wherever the bios finds a bootsector | 02:07 |
| sysfault | guiverc: ok so do i run it explicitly on /dev/sda? | 02:07 |
| guiverc | yep if sda is the suspect drive/device | 02:08 |

| sysfault | are you serious? smh | 02:10 |
| guiverc | the popup was valuable then sysfault -- i'd trust it, and sure backup your data! | 02:10 |
| sysfault | so the overall health of this laptop is shot? | 02:10 |
| guiverc | not the laptop - your drive... drives can be replaced | 02:11 |
| sysfault | ok in the meantime in between time, surely i could use a livecd correct? | 02:11 |
| sysfault | or a usb-thumb-drive of course3 | 02:12 |
| sysfault | what size is your usb-thumb-drive guiverc? | 02:12 |
| guiverc | anyway if lucky, drives can keep working for days-weeks-months (on hours death-eta), though they'll be slow & just suddently die so should NOT be trusted with any valuable data | 02:13 |

| lotuspsychje | eaglgenes101: can this help for you? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Input | 04:02 |
| eaglgenes101 | If the DNS server is unavailable to the system, your system can't make this association, and all google.com is is a string that you happen to type frequently into an address bar | 04:02 |

| ubuntu-mate | jhj | 04:03 |
| guiverc | RoadRunner_, xar- asked you to `cat /etc/resolv.conf` in hopes you would show us what is in the file (or if empty). it contains a list of IP addresses that convert names like google.com to their real addresses (which are numbers). adding that nameserver just adds the google DNS address to your system as an additional nameserver over what's in your file (and isn't working for you) | 04:05 |
| michels | hello. how do i install Ubuntu 18.04 "over" ubuntu 17.10. my 17.10 is borked.. and i think it'd be easier to re-install, than repair. It is LUKS without LVM. | 04:05 |
| RoadRunner_ | guiverc: sorry, was a bit slow to figure that out :), paste coming up | 04:05 |
| lotuspsychje | michels: the ubuntu setup lets you install ubuntu version 'next' to your current | 04:06 |
| guiverc | RoadRunner_, please pastebinit (unless its 1-3 lines) | 04:06 |
| michels | lotuspsychje, i think it's difficult because of the encryption. it *should* see my previous OS. but it doesn't... so i do i make the install "see" my old 17.10.. so that i can just upgrade it | 04:07 |
| michels | *how do i make the installer see the old 17.10 OS? | 04:09 |
| lotuspsychje | michels: are you launching setup from a liveusb? | 04:11 |
| RoadRunner_ | guiverc: xar-: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/spXDfYx5JK/ | 04:11 |
| michels | lotuspsychje, yes | 04:11 |
| lotuspsychje | michels: and partitioning sees, nothing? | 04:12 |
| michels | i decrypted the LUKS partition, in thunar. clicked the icon, "install" icon. it doesn't recognize the old OS... so i picked "something else"... | 04:13 |
| michels | so do i just install "over", the previous OS? | 04:13 |
| lotuspsychje | michels: well encryption is always bity tricky, you got a backup of it? | 04:14 |
| lotuspsychje | michels: cause thats how i would do it...backup, wipe borked install and install bionic clean | 04:15 |
| michels | e.g. select "/" mount point to be /dev/mapper/luks-blahalblah. and select /dev/sda1 to be "biosgrub". /dev/sda or "/dev/sda1"? for "boot loader installation | 04:15 |
| lotuspsychje | michels: why take the risk of upgrade an install half broken? | 04:15 |
| lotuspsychje | !lvm | michels | 04:16 |
| ubottu | michels: 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 | 04:16 |
| michels | yes, i have a backup, but i'd prefer to not resort to the backup, cuz that is on an old (hopefully not dying HDD)... plus, i want to learn how to do this :) i only need the laptop for a few more months | 04:16 |
| michels | i dont use RAID or LVM. i just manually created LUKS-ext4 partition | 04:17 |
| lotuspsychje | kk | 04:17 |
| michels | i lost data with LVM before, so i detest LVM forevermore ;) | 04:18 |
| michels | this is the guide i used to install 17.10. http://www.thesimplecomputer.info/full-disk-encryption-with-ubuntu | 04:19 |
| guiverc | RoadRunner_, your resolv.conf looks first at (nameserver) 127.0.0.53 [sysd-resolvd] and then for any addresses without a . (eg. main) it'll add a telus (main.telus in my eg.). I don't have skills with sysd-resolvd sorry | 04:21 |
| michels | or is there a link that explains how to "repair" 17.10? i've tried boot-repair PPA, & timeshift backup. but neither work | 04:22 |
| guiverc | RoadRunner_, a quick fix is still to add another "nameserver 8.8.8.8" (meaning for addresses where your systemd-resolved fails, it'll then use google.dns) - its quick & temporary though; reboot or restart of a few services will cause it to be overwritten... | 04:23 |
| RoadRunner_ | guiverc: thank's for trying, do you know anyone here who knows this that I may want to track down? | 04:24 |
| plasmoduck | how do I install the ppa program so I can add ppa's | 04:25 |
| guiverc | (RoadRunner_, ps: i only use 8.8.8.8 as example), as for help this is a great channel to ask in, so i'd suggest later (when others are available to answer) | 04:25 |
| plasmoduck | whats it called | 04:25 |
| lotuspsychje | plasmoduck: ppapurge, wich ubuntu version are you on? | 04:25 |
| plasmoduck | sudo: add-apt-repository: command not found | 04:25 |
| plasmoduck | thanks | 04:26 |
| someone_ | Hi | 04:26 |
| plasmoduck | sudo apt install software-properties-common | 04:27 |
| plasmoduck | thats what im after | 04:27 |
| plasmoduck | but thanks for trying lotuspsychje ;) | 04:27 |
| guiverc | Welcome someone_, if you have a Ubuntu support question, please ask it (ideally in a single line, and please be patient waiting for replies) | 04:27 |
| lotuspsychje | plasmoduck: how about you tell us your whole story? ubuntu version? what are you trying to do? | 04:28 |
| someone_ | How I can convert my current Ubuntu to .iso file and became able to install it on other PCs? | 04:28 |
| usixjad | so.. is there an easy fix for a missing icon in the unity launcher dash thing in 16.04? | 04:29 |
| michels | in 18.04 installation: what is the diff between designating a partition: "biosgrub- reserved BIOS boot area" vs "ext4 mount point /boot"? | 04:35 |
| michels | and which should i pick? (i am doing BIOS, not EFI) | 04:35 |
| guiverc | someone_, i'm not sure it's a on-topic question... i can give more in #ubuntu-discuss or #ubuntu-offtopic | 04:36 |
| diehardfox | Allocating different BIOS area is consider to efficient in long run | 04:36 |
| someone_ | guiverc ok, thanks | 04:37 |
| EriC^^ | michels: /boot is the /boot dir in linux, it contains the kernel and initrd and grub files such as the modules and config | 04:37 |
| EriC^^ | michels: biosgrub is a tiny partition used with gpt partitions if you're using legacy mode as the bios, so ubuntu can boot | 04:37 |
| EriC^^ | michels: which partition table are you using? gpt? | 04:37 |
| diehardfox | use ext4 mount point /boot | 04:38 |
| michels | GPT, yes. | 04:38 |
| diehardfox | it is more efficient. | 04:38 |
| diehardfox | if you root partition is broken for some reason still you can boot and fix it. | 04:38 |
| someone_ | but I think other channels maybe have not the same interaction as this channle so, I want still here and asking this question maybe someone has an answer. | 04:40 |
| michels | okay, thx. i'll do ext4 /boot.. also, for "boot loader installation": do i choose "/dev/sda" or "/dev/sda1 (which is the 450MB /boot partition)" | 04:41 |
| diehardfox | use /dev/sda1 --- boot partition as always smaller | 04:43 |
| TiredShell | Hi all, I really need help trying to understand what's happened to my ubuntu box. It had been ticking along just fine for the past few months and after a reboot today IPV4 networking on my NIC has disappeared. Configuration shows up in network-manager and the static IP, gateway, etc. are all there, but an IP config doesn't show any IPV4 config and as such it's lost connectivity to the rest of the world :( | 04:45 |
| someone_ | Is it possible to get a list of the packages that I installed them on Ubuntu only without default packages? | 04:46 |
| michels | diehardfox, what will happen differently if, instead, i select "/dev/sda" ? (this is default, and how i have always done it.) like this guide says: http://www.thesimplecomputer.info/full-disk-encryption-with-ubuntu | 04:47 |
| diehardfox | It is ok to use /dev/sda, but if it does not have much memory | 04:54 |
| michels | ok... i clicked "install now"... hopefully this doesn't implode the Universe, it was nice knowin' ya :) | 04:55 |
| diehardfox | michels, usually boot partition required less memory since small and fixed number of files are stored | 04:55 |

| syborg | So I need to replace pulseaudio with alsa on my xubuntu 18.04.... anyone know of a good guide for this? | 05:00 |
| lotuspsychje | syborg: what are you trying to do? | 05:01 |
| syborg | lotuspsychje, the headphone jack on my acer aspire 1 is nonfunctional. Some people on the manjaro forums had luck replacing pulseaudio with alsa | 05:01 |
| lotuspsychje | syborg: checkout pavucontrol, lets you tune alot of things there | 05:02 |
| syborg | yeah I know about that program, it's quite nice. Unforunately, it didn't help me with this | 05:02 |
| syborg | the system does not recognize when I plug headphones in | 05:03 |
| lotuspsychje | syborg: sound driver installed properly? | 05:03 |
| syborg | lotuspsychje, how would I check? | 05:03 |
| lotuspsychje | syborg: sudo lshw -C sound | 05:03 |
| syborg | builtin speakers work at least | 05:04 |
| syborg | lotuspsychje, here is the output https://pastebin.com/PU1DWTzB | 05:05 |
| lotuspsychje | syborg: yeah bot looks loaded | 05:06 |
| syborg | so I don't know much about alsa and pulseaudio. Is it that alsa is a dependency of pulseaudio, and just disabling pulseaudio should cause my system to use alsa? | 05:11 |
| syborg | well I just edited a config file, time to restart and find out | 05:14 |

| rangergord | Hi. Has anyone here tried Ubuntu 18.04 (desktop) in Virtualbox? Does it run well? (I asked in the Vbox channel 30 minutes ago, no answer) | 06:46 |

| rektdeckard | ok, bye then | 06:47 |
| SysGhost | rangergord: I guess the best thing to do is firing a new vm up and take it for a spin. =) | 06:48 |
| rangergord | SysGhost: I can't, I'm on slow public wifi | 06:49 |
| rangergord | I don't have Internet at home | 06:49 |
| rangergord | just horribly slow cellular which is good enough for git and IRC, but not large downloads | 06:50 |
| SSMAdmin | rangerord I have tested, 18.04 crashes all the time, I had to revert to 16.04 virtual machines | 06:50 |
| SysGhost | rangergord: how about the public library? | 06:50 |
| rangergord | SSMAdmin: thanks! That's what I was looking for | 06:50 |
| rangergord | SysGhost: that's where I am now :) | 06:50 |
| SysGhost | ah... well even if it's slow, at least it should be done within a reasonable time. | 06:51 |
| rangergord | hopefully. I think I'm getting 100KB/s | 06:52 |
| rangergord | but I'm here for the next 4 hours. And will be back during the week-end. | 06:53 |
| rangergord | In any case I'm getting 16.04 based on what SSMAdmin said | 06:53 |

| michels | i have card: "intel wireless 7265" | 06:57 |
| hateball | michels: what version of Ubuntu are you using? | 06:58 |
| SSMAdmin | Anyone able to help? On my livingroom computer I have upgraded to 18.04 server. Ubuntu-desktop is also installed on this server,this to serve internett browsing and film viewing for the family. All this standard stuff works, but the server will not detect and show that ethernet has cable connection. The network icon in the top right statusbar does not show up. This is more than a cosmetic problem. I tried to activate remote | 06:58 |
| SSMAdmin | viewing in order to control this machine from my computerroom. But the "sharing" dialog will not let me activate remote viewing, as in the remote viewing dialog box it will not show any connected network, even though the box HAS a full working connection. What could be the problem? I should add that this mainboard has two ethernet ports integrated. Could this confuse 18.04? | 06:58 |
| michels | 18.04 just installed it "over" 17.10 | 06:58 |
| hateball | michels: hmm, it should "just work" even in 17.10. What are the symptoms? Can you see the wifi but not connect? or does the device not show up at all? | 06:59 |
| hateball | michels: and did it use to work in 17.10 ? | 06:59 |
| rektdeckard | michels: i had to do a little tweaking to get it up and running on a Macbook Air. If you open Software & Updates and look under the additional drivers tab you may see a driver for your network card | 07:00 |
| michels | device doesn't show up. it used to work in 17.10 yes. (but my 17.10 stopped booting. i think related to being stuck on kernel 4.13.0-36. like i still am) | 07:01 |
| lkh | hi all, since update to 18.04 my laptop doesn't wake up from suspend. Others seem to have same problem: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1031827/ubuntu-wont-wake-up-from-suspend ... has a bug report been filed as yet? pointers to solutions? | 07:01 |
| rektdeckard | can you connect to a wired internet connection? | 07:01 |
| michels | my wired ethernet works fine to get on Internet, yes | 07:01 |
| rektdeckard | michels: go to the Additional Drivers tab, it may be able to identify your hardware and automatically download the proper driver | 07:02 |
| michels | rektdeckard, i already tried "additional drivers", thx tho | 07:02 |
| hateball | michels: you should be on kernel 4.15 in 18.04 | 07:02 |
| michels | 4.15 doesn't work. i can reboot, and give u exact error codes if u want? | 07:02 |
| hateball | michels: so 4.15 does not boot at all? | 07:03 |
| michels | no. neither does 4.13.0-3{8,9} | 07:03 |
| michels | well, 4.15 does work for the LiveUSB | 07:04 |
| michels | so that is a good sign :) | 07:04 |
| michels | btw. i am using BIOS(not EFI). LUKS (not LVM) | 07:06 |
| michels | sorry, what does CTCP Ping mean? | 07:08 |
| SysGhost | Just for the records: Ubuntu 18.04 works fine with virtualbox. One just have to disable 3D acceleration if it's on. Does not work at all with it on. | 07:09 |

| brainwash | sondre: the nvidia driver is not open source | 08:15 |
| blackflow | sondre: 390 is not the open source one, that nvidia's proprietary. the "open source" nvidia is nouveau, part of the kernel. | 08:15 |

| PorkChopExpress | paddy: Did you install skype from the Ubuntu store? | 08:17 |
| brainwash | blackflow: nouveau is an xorg driver also | 08:17 |
| sondre | I'm trying to get displaylink and dell dock d6000 work properly.. And displaylink only works with open source nvidia graphic driver | 08:17 |
| brainwash | nouveau (open source), nvidia (closed source) | 08:18 |
| blackflow | sondre: dunno why it says that there, maybe because some parts of it are open source, the nvidia proprietary driver has to be compiled anyway, as part of the installation process. but the bulk of it is in the firmware blob, so it's not open source, or libre, whichevre definition of open-source you prefer. | 08:18 |
| sondre | brainwash blackflow This is what I see in additional drivers: https://i.imgur.com/SXujsUS.png | 08:18 |
| sondre | blackflow: Hmm I see, I did switch to nouveau right now, so will check and reboot if that works | 08:19 |
| sondre | thanks :-) Be back in a sec | 08:19 |
| blackflow | sondre: nvidia-settings require the proprietary driver, iirc. | 08:20 |
| brainwash | to me this looks mislabeled | 08:20 |
| blackflow | it does, yes. | 08:20 |
| sondre | blackflow: I had 390 checked right before I took the screenshot, but no luck there either | 08:20 |
| blackflow | sondre: did you reboot after installing it? | 08:20 |
| sondre | blackflow: This is output for nvidia-settings: https://i.imgur.com/hj3fpCY.png | 08:21 |
| sondre | The 390 I have yes | 08:21 |
| blackflow | sondre: after reboot, you can check which driver is in effect, by running `glxinfo | grep renderer`. I think it mentions "mesa" or something not nvidia, if it's nouveau. glxinfo is in mesa-utils package. | 08:21 |
| sondre | I haven't rebooted into the nouveau yet | 08:21 |
| blackflow | sondre: what does `glxinfo | grep renderer` say? | 08:22 |
| sondre | blackflow: Hmm, not found.. :-p | 08:23 |
| karsten77 | please can somebody help me with resetting my drivers. since Ive installed a wacom driver, I do not have any keyboard or mouse at sddm login | 08:23 |
| sondre | I guess "sudo apt install mes-utils"? blackflow | 08:23 |
| blackflow | sondre: what is not found? glxinfo? | 08:23 |
| blackflow | sondre: yes, like I mentioned before :) | 08:23 |
| blackflow | mesa-utils, not mes-utils | 08:23 |
| sondre | blackflow: I have some issues with phpmyadmin too, when I ran the command "sudo apt install mesa-utils" it instantly showed me phpmyadmin install setup. So now when I run the "sudo apt install mes-utils" command it tells me that the resources are temporarily unavailable.. | 08:25 |

| Shirakawasuna | Hi! One of my computers died and I'd like to recover its disks. The challenge: there were 4 disks, set up as RAID1 (so 2 RAID1 volumes), and then I used LVM to create a single FS spanning both volumes. This means I have 4 disks, but I need to know how to properly mount them (ideally read-only) in another computer. Luckily, I have full backups (and direct access to) the root FS containing the LVM configs, etc. My question: I'd like | 08:35 |
| Shirakawasuna | to try and get away with *not* setting up software RAID 1 again, and just set up temporary LVM stuff. Is this doable? | 08:35 |
| blackflow | Rumbles: how did you configure the names? | 08:35 |
| Rumbles | udev rule | 08:35 |
| Rumbles | I may ave just spotted my mistake | 08:35 |
| sondre | blackflow: Yes, I can try to reinstalling phpmyadmin again and test | 08:35 |
| Rumbles | sorry :) | 08:35 |
| Rumbles | probably just me being an idiot | 08:36 |
| blackflow | sondre: not sure that would help. the error message mentions access denied for user 'magento' to database 'phpmyadmin'. that does not look right, magento shouldn't need access to phpmyadmin. | 08:36 |
| blackflow | Rumbles: what was it? | 08:36 |
| Rumbles | I changed the name in the first line in network/interfaces to the new interface name, but forgot to change it on the second line | 08:37 |
| Rumbles | <<<< idiot | 08:37 |
| drop_ | 18.04 nvidia sucks | 08:40 |
| blackflow | Shirakawasuna: it should pretty much be automatic. if the RAID was set up by mdadm, it should autodetect and set up md devices properly. then LVM should autodetect the pv/vg in those, also automaticlaly. | 08:40 |

| EriC^^ | ice9: what a name right | 08:41 |
| Shirakawasuna | blackflow, this is on a totally different system now, and I just installed mdadm and lvm2. Are you saying that if I do a reboot, everything should be 'automatic' because there's enough metadata in the partitions? | 08:41 |

| blackflow | Shirakawasuna: the part I can't remember is if mdadm and lvm need some running daemons, on boot, to do the autodetection, but essentially, those systems should all autodetect. | 08:43 |

| SSMAdmin | Hi all. On Ubuntu 18.04 server (ubuntu-desktop installed). Problem: In admin panel "Sharing" dialog, not able to activate Screen Sharing. The dialog box, bottom "Network" part of it says there is "No networks selected for sharing". It should at least show "Wired Connection 1", as in fact the wired connection is working perfectly (the box has internet connection in and out, and I am able to connect to it using ssh). As the | 09:02 |
| SSMAdmin | sharing dialog does not show any available networks to pick from, it is not possible to activate the sharing. Another problem indicator is that the desktop status bar network icon does not show up, when clicked it shows the "Connect" menu item, even if the box is connected to fully working wired ethernet connection. Any help? | 09:02 |
| blackflow | sondre: ah there. apt is trying to pick up on previous failed task, failing again. not sure what to do here. do you have that 'apt install mesa-utils' running in a terminal? | 09:03 |

| sondre | Thanks :-D Worked installing mesa-utils now too | 09:11 |
| blackflow | sondre: excellent. now, it's important to figure out what went wrong. to use phpmyadmin, you'll need a dedicated user with all privileges, or use root (mysql's 'root', not system root). | 09:11 |
| Gargravarr | morning all. interesting issue i think might be Bionic-related - i've just tried to update packages and https://linux.dropbox.com is now throwing SSL errors. i installed curl yesterday and it upgraded me to libcurl4. i assume it's related | 09:12 |

| === gr33n7007h is now known as al2o3-cr | ||
| blackflow | sondre: great, so with mesa-utils installed, what does glxinfo | grep renderer say? | 09:13 |
| sondre | blackflow: Yes, understood. Tought I did the mysql -u root -p command earlier in mysql | 09:13 |
| sondre | blackflow: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/5BCTyfJXrc/ | 09:14 |
| blackflow | sondre: I think it's safe to use mysql's 'root' for phpmyadmin as superuser, on a local machine. phpmyadmin does need, in fact, a lot of privilege to manipulate the DBs | 09:14 |
| blackflow | sondre: that looks like you're not using the proprietary driver. | 09:15 |
| blackflow | sondre: this is the renderer string on my gtx960, with proprietary driver: OpenGL renderer string: GeForce GTX 960/PCIe/SSE2 | 09:16 |
| sondre | blackflow: You're correct.. Still using nvidia-390. I tried switching to the nouveau driver, but then I can't login. I only get purple screen after I type my password, then I have to reboot into recovery mode etc | 09:16 |
| sondre | blackflow: Are there any reasons I get purple screen instead of desktop after switching to nouvaeu driver? | 09:17 |
| blackflow | sondre: nvidia-390 is the proprietary driver. | 09:17 |
| blackflow | sondre: it's possible that nouveau doesn't support (all the required features of) your GPU. Which GPU is it? | 09:18 |
| Gargravarr | it's throwing errors about SSLv3: routines:ssl3_get_record:wrong version number, so i assume libcurl4 finally disables it, but running openssl s_client shows it's negotiated TLSv1.2 | 09:18 |

| blackflow | sondre: right, so the package is installed, but the kernel is not using it, it seems. two things. do you have a xorg.conf somewhere in /etc/X11/ ? | 09:20 |
| sondre | blackflow: Yes, I have xorg.conf, but I checked it and it's empty. Is that correct? | 09:20 |
| longword | Garg: What happens if you throw in the option --tlsv1.0 ? | 09:21 |
| blackflow | sondre: yeah, should be empty or not existing at all, xorg autoconfigures these days, unless you really need to set up something explicit about the config. | 09:21 |
| blackflow | sondre: so the second thing, I'd check in dmesg if nvidia is failing for some reason so the kernel is picking up nouvau. could also be just a glitched autodetection and nouveau is picked up first, which would require you to blacklist it, but I think instlaling nvidia-* drivers, does that already, lemme check... | 09:22 |
| blackflow | sondre: yeah, it installs /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf which blacklists nouveau | 09:23 |
| blackflow | sondre: can you confirm you have that? | 09:23 |
| sondre | blackflow: Yes, but I have to use an open source graphic driver for it to work with displaylink and my dell D6000 dock. Isn't the nvidia 390 driver open source and can be used with displaylink driver? | 09:23 |
| sondre | blackflow: Let me check | 09:23 |
| blackflow | sondre: nvidia-390 is not THE open source driver, when people say "open source nvidia driver". nouveau is. | 09:24 |
| sondre | blackflow: Yes I have this, see output -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/6F69tZHc85/ | 09:24 |
| blackflow | sondre: right, so now maybe pastebin the output of sudo dmesg | grep -i nvidia | 09:25 |
| sondre | blackflow: "sudo dmesg | grep -i nvidia" gives nothing | 09:25 |
| blackflow | sondre: does sudo dmesg | head show times starting at [0.00000] or something like that? | 09:26 |
| blackflow | [ 0.000000] | 09:26 |
| sondre | blackflow: Yes, output -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/GJVQnHf3c6/ | 09:27 |
| sondre | blackflow: Should I reboot and try to boot normal? The issue I get is that it only displays a purple screen after typing my password and pressing log in | 09:28 |
| blackflow | sondre: right, so it seems the 'nvidia' driver is not being used. does `dpkg --get-selections | grep nvidia` show 'nvidia-390 install' ? | 09:29 |
| blackflow | sondre: whoa wait. what password? LUKS? | 09:29 |
| sondre | blackflow: Output -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/7qHGSg28R9/ | 09:30 |
| blackflow | sondre: okay, seems installed, but not used. no idea why. maybe the GPU is too old for the driver? | 09:30 |
| sondre | blackflow: Well, after reboot I try to log in, but I get purple screen and nothing happens.. Then I have to try reboot into recovery mode for it to work | 09:30 |
| blackflow | sondre: log in where? GUI session, or do you have encrypted root partition? | 09:31 |
| sondre | blackflow: Just a sec, let me try to reboot. No, into ubuntu after reboot :-D | 09:31 |
| sondre | blackflow: So I chose the nouveau driver and rebooted, but in software & updates it says "Continue using a manually installed driver". Why doesn't it choose nouveau driver? | 09:36 |

| blackflow | sondre: can you pastebin `grep oadModule /var/log/Xorg.0.log` (yes, oadModule, not a typo) | 09:54 |
| sondre | blackflow: I rebooted now and on the second attempt I got in (without purple screen). I got the nouveau driver selected now and installed nvidia-settings. | 09:55 |
| sondre | blackflow: Do I need to reboot to use nvidia-settings after installing it? | 09:55 |
| blackflow | sondre: nope | 09:55 |
| chioslab | aleeeeeeeee | 09:56 |
| sondre | blackflow: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/vRhRjtDtpb/ | 09:56 |
| sondre | blackflow: Hmm, 'cause I get "ERROR: Unable to load info from any available system" after running command "nvidia-settings" | 09:57 |
| blackflow | sondre: no nouveau on that list. | 09:57 |
| blackflow | sondre: yes, iirc nvidia-settings requires the proprietary driver. | 09:57 |
| blackflow | sondre: looks like you're using the framebuffer driver.... can you pastebin the entire Xorg.0.log please? | 09:58 |
| sondre | blackflow: Nouveau is selected in additional drivers.. Weird | 09:58 |
| blackflow | sondre: Xorg log should've shown LoadModule: "nouveau" then, unless somethign really changed in Bionic about that. but please pastebin the entire Xorg.0.log, I don't know by heart what keyword to grep for to see what's activelly running. | 09:59 |
| sondre | blackflow: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/QStJFPxyyT/ | 09:59 |
| blackflow | sondre: FBDEV alright. you're using the framebuffer. so, something with that GPU is wrong so much that neither nvidia nor nouveau work with it | 10:00 |
| blackflow | sondre: ah.... EFI boot, right? | 10:01 |
| sondre | blackflow: Well, so mission impossible? It's a Dell precision 5510 laptop | 10:01 |
| sondre | blackflow: I reinstalled yesterday, is there anything I've done wrong? | 10:02 |
| blackflow | no idea. this is beyond me unfortunately. but if I were to hazard a guess, I'd say something about that EFI boot is blocking the proper GPU driver from being selected. I have no idea if it involves signed modules or what. Is that a very new laptop? | 10:03 |

| fofalee | hey anyone knows how to view a dead flash drive | 10:04 |
| sondre | blackflow: It also looks like nouvaeu is supporting the GPU: https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/CodeNames/#nv110familymaxwell (M1000M) | 10:04 |
| blackflow | sondre: do you have an option for BIOS (non-EFI) boot? I'd go with that, just to see if the proper GPU driver works that way. | 10:04 |
| sondre | blackflow: Sorry, I'm not quite good at this. Do you want me to try booting into legacy instead of uefi? | 10:06 |
| blackflow | sondre: yes, I guess that's it. "legacy" or "BIOS boot" | 10:06 |
| blackflow | as long as it's not efi boot | 10:06 |
| sondre | blackflow: Ok, I'll give it a shot, rebooting now. Cya :-D | 10:06 |

| SSMAdmin | Hi all. On Ubuntu 18.04 server (ubuntu-desktop installed). Problem: In admin panel "Sharing" dialog, not able to activate Screen Sharing. The dialog box, bottom "Network" part of it says there is "No networks selected for sharing". It should at least show "Wired Connection 1", as in fact the wired connection is working perfectly (the box has internet connection in and out, and I am able to connect to it using ssh). As the | 10:09 |
| SSMAdmin | sharing dialog does not show any available networks to pick from, it is not possible to activate the sharing. Another problem indicator is that the desktop status bar network icon does not show up, when clicked it shows the "Connect" menu item, even if the box is connected to fully working wired ethernet connection. Any help? | 10:09 |
| SSMAdmin | And in "Network" configuration dialog, there is no settings for "Wired Connections", only VPN and Proxy settings | 10:10 |

| sondre | blackflow: Naaaah, that didn't look possible.. I have no boot media for ubuntu when changing to legacy | 10:14 |
| blackflow | sondre: hrm, I thought the installation would provide both ways | 10:16 |
| sondre | blackflow: I only have ubuntu on this machine if that says something. I could reinstall again, but is that needed? Is there anything wrong with EFI that makes this complicated? | 10:18 |
| blackflow | sondre: that's the part that's beyond me, I have very little experience with it. but I do know that under EFI, the framebuffer, KMS and all those GPU related things are handled differently. | 10:20 |
| EriC^^ | sondre: do you have an option to boot the live usb in legacy mode | 10:21 |
| EriC^^ | ? | 10:21 |
| sondre | blackflow: Could there be anything with the intel graphic that are causing these issues? See output of dpkg --get-selections | grep nvidia -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/KxdXPzQWCG/ | 10:21 |
| sondre | EriC^^: Oh, hi EriC^^! I can try, I think that can work | 10:22 |
| blackflow | sondre: I doubt it, also intel gpu was not mentioned at all in that xorg log | 10:22 |
| sondre | blackflow: I see. Let me try and reboot into legacy with live usb | 10:23 |
| EriC^^ | sondre: you could boot the install in legacy mode from the ubuntu installer's grub that's booted in legacy | 10:23 |
| sondre | EriC^^: So I go in advanced options then try and boot in legacy mode there? | 10:24 |
| EriC^^ | pressing "c" and typing "configfile (hd0,gpt1)/boot/grub/grub.cfg" should get you there, or look for the right name from "ls" ouput | 10:24 |
| EriC^^ | sondre: yeah, try some F button to get the one-time boot options menu and choose USB legacy or just USB if there's USB and USB UEFI | 10:25 |
| sondre | EriC^^: Ok, I'll reboot now and check, sec :D | 10:25 |
| EriC^^ | ah hmm, nevermind, you'd be greeted with a menu and not a grub menu | 10:25 |
| blackflow | EriC^^: I do recall there was a "boot from hard disk" option in one of those live things, but I can't remember if it was debian or ubuntu :) | 10:26 |
| blackflow | not grub menu, but the installer/liveCD environment menu | 10:27 |

| doulos05 | Hello, I'm having a problem getting my xenial computer to boot up | 10:30 |
| EriC^^ | nishikant: if you're still having problems, try to checksum the iso, and try a different usb if that checks out | 10:31 |
| doulos05 | I got to a recovery screen and ran ctljournal -xb | 10:31 |
| doulos05 | the error message is [drm:drm_add_edid_modes.part.27 [drm]] *ERROR* Unknown HDMI VIC: 50 | 10:31 |
| doulos05 | What does that mean? | 10:31 |
| EriC^^ | do you have an hdmi monitor attached? | 10:32 |
| doulos05 | Currently for debugging purposes, yes | 10:33 |
| doulos05 | But when I first attempted to boot it, I did not | 10:33 |
| doulos05 | I intend for this to be a home server so I initially booted it in a headless configuration and connected to it via ssh | 10:33 |
| doulos05 | The last thing I did was reboot it after formatting the old windows partition away | 10:34 |
| doulos05 | It was booting just fine in a dual book configuration for months. | 10:34 |
| nishikant | Eric: how to checksum the iso | 10:34 |

| EriC^^ | doulos05: what happens if you let it boot | 10:35 |
| EriC^^ | and then after couple minutes hook the hdmi up? | 10:36 |
| EriC^^ | try booting without 'quiet splash' and with 'verbose or some debug level' | 10:36 |
| doulos05 | That's how I discovered the error. After attempting to ssh in and failing to find the path, I connected the monitor and saw the error. | 10:36 |
| doulos05 | It had been hung for at least 5 minutes by that point | 10:36 |
| doulos05 | I'll try now with quiet splash. What's the specific command for that? | 10:37 |
| doulos05 | in grub2 | 10:37 |
| EriC^^ | doulos05: in grub press 'e' then replace it in the linux /boot/vmlinuz line | 10:38 |
| EriC^^ | and press f10 to boto | 10:38 |
| EriC^^ | *boot | 10:38 |

| ember_ | tomreyn: closed all windows and didn't use the PC at all during the update | 12:17 |
| tomreyn | ember_: oh i wasn't aware that's available, yet. and the upgrade finished without errors? | 12:17 |
| ember_ | tomreyn: I wasn't watching it but when I came back it was booted and seemed fine. it did manage to lose my wallpaper but that's the only problem I've noticed aside from the sluggishness | 12:18 |
| tomreyn | ember_: it would not reboot by itself, i don't think | 12:18 |
| ember_ | tomreyn: no, you're right, it said it was done and prompted me to reboot | 12:19 |
| ember_ | tomreyn: sorry, my memory is vague at the best of times | 12:19 |
| tomreyn | ember_: no problem, same here. your upgrade probably went fine and you just have some leftover configurations from 17.10 which weren't removed (usually when they're from third party repositories). take a loo at the output of "dpkg -l | grep ^rc" - those are packages which were removed but still have configurations left. you can use "sudo apt purge PACKAGE" to remove them (if desired). | 12:22 |
| rdz | hey all. i'm on bionic using qjackctl and it doesn't show a systray icon, when i enable it.. it seems to be an old problem. maybe someone know something about it or know of a way to fix it? | 12:22 |

| tomreyn | ember_: looks like you never updated your bios. yours is version 0906 (03/26/2012), the latest is version 2203 (2016/02/19) according to https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P8Z77M/HelpDesk_BIOS/ . it might be advisable to upgrade it. | 12:28 |
| ember_ | tomreyn: I'll make sure to do that :) | 12:29 |
| tomreyn | ember_: i suspect your existing bios will be able to upgrade itself by loading the new firmware from usb stick with msdos partition table, with a single partition (use gparted to create both) containing a fat32 file system (use "mkfs.vfat" to create it), with the unpackaged bios file (P8Z77-M-ASUS-2203.CAP) on it. | 12:31 |
| ember_ | tomreyn: thanks for the tips. is that likely to be related to the performance degradation though? | 12:32 |
| ioria | ember_, have you checked 'top' and 'free -m' ? | 12:32 |

| tomreyn | ember_: not directly related, no, since the system worked fine before. what i see is that radeon, the proper kernel module to drive your hardware, was detected as available and was loaded, but for reasons i am unable to determine it then falls back to non-accelerated graphics mode, but your logs don't seem to say why (or i missed it). | 12:36 |
| ioria | ember_, well, can you reboot and log in in 'gnome classic' ? | 12:36 |
| ember_ | tomreyn: that's really bizarre! it's progress though, hardware acceleration being disabled explains this behaviour perfectly | 12:37 |
| ember_ | ioria: sure, after I look up what that entails :) | 12:37 |

| Miguel2013 | longword, I don't care about slack I use what I use. give me one good reason to use slack | 12:41 |
| tomreyn | ioria: those otions might be named differently. here's what my 18.04 VM offers (after also installing xubuntu-desktop) http://i.imgur.com/dixR5T6.png | 12:41 |
| tomreyn | you are probably referring to "GNOME on Xorg" | 12:42 |
| ioria | tomreyn, mmmm | 12:42 |
| ioria | tomreyn, you don't have 'ubuntu on wayland' | 12:42 |
| tomreyn | no, not supported by the driver, i think. it's virtualbox. | 12:43 |
| ioria | i see | 12:43 |
| tomreyn | the "Ubuntu" choice starts the default desktop (Gnome 3 shell with ubuntu modifications) | 12:44 |
| tomreyn | ... on X | 12:45 |
| ember_ | tomreyn, ioria: so there are four options there: gnome, gnome on xorg, ubuntu, ubuntu on wayland. the third one (ubuntu) was selected. it's also the only one with the performance issue xD | 12:45 |
| ember_ | ohhhhh. | 12:45 |
| ember_ | why on earth was it selected? | 12:45 |
| tomreyn | ember_: it's the default ubuntu desktop | 12:45 |
| ioria | ember_, on 18.04 wayland is not default | 12:46 |
| ember_ | not 'ubuntu on wayland'? | 12:46 |
| ember_ | ahhhh | 12:46 |
| ioria | ember_, xorg is default | 12:46 |
| tomreyn | that menu is a good way to irritate and frustrate users. :-/ | 12:47 |
| ember_ | so are there any gotchas I should look out for having changed this option? | 12:47 |
| ember_ | my understanding is I was using wayland the whole time with 17.10 so nothing new, right? | 12:47 |
| ioria | ember_, yes | 12:48 |
| ember_ | well the performance issue on x remains, but I don't need to worry about it any more :) thanks for your time ioria and tomreyn | 12:48 |
| ioria | ember_, echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE | 12:49 |
| ember_ | wayland | 12:49 |
| ioria | ember_, still sluggish ? | 12:49 |
| tomreyn | ember_: with 17.10 you were probably (unless you didnt initially install or later moved away from the default ubuntu desktop) using unity on wayland. right now, you're using ubuntu's modified gnome 3 on X.org (titled "Ubuntu" on this menu) | 12:50 |
| tomreyn | oh wayland, ok, then i'm wrong | 12:50 |
| ember_ | nono it's fine, I switched to 'ubuntu on wayland' and it's fast again, I just mean that the fact that the problem persists on x is presumably not good | 12:50 |
| ember_ | as in hardware acceleration should not be arbitrarily disabled | 12:51 |
| tomreyn | right | 12:51 |
| ember_ | but this functionally solves my issue :)) | 12:51 |
| === stephane is now known as kalexico | ||
| ioria | ember_, no it's not: looking at your syslog you really have some issues | 12:51 |
| tomreyn | there are ACPI issues which a bios upgrade might solve | 12:51 |
| tomreyn | there are also suppsedly leftovers from the old system, but those should not be critical. | 12:51 |
| ioria | ember_, dbus, gnome-software and ureadahead service at leat | 12:52 |
| tomreyn | ioria: did you spot anything else? | 12:52 |
| ioria | tomreyn, dbus, gnome-software and ureadahead service at leat | 12:52 |
| ember_ | I saved your messages so I'll do the cleanup and bios update when I have some time :) | 12:52 |
| ember_ | ioria: are those part of the leftovers of which tomreyn speaks? | 12:52 |
| ioria | ember_, maybe ... or the effect of some bugs , like this : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ureadahead/+bug/1579580#3 | 12:53 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1579580 in ureadahead (Ubuntu) "ureadahead reports relative path errors in journalctl output" [High,Confirmed] | 12:53 |
| ember_ | maybe the real lesson here is to stay on old LTS versions for longer :)) | 12:54 |
| tomreyn | hmm right dbus-daemon seems to be stuck in a "Reloaded configuration" loop there. | 12:54 |
| ioria | ember_, gnome-software can be removed if you don't use it | 12:54 |
| ember_ | what is gnome-software? | 12:54 |
| ember_ | aha | 12:54 |
| tomreyn | ember_: the graphical tool to install software from, like a software shop | 12:54 |
| ioria | ember_, the sw center ... you should see it in the left dock | 12:54 |
| ember_ | I have only used it because sometimes double-clicking a .deb throws it at you I think | 12:55 |
| ember_ | but if there's a cli way to do that I guess it's not necessary? | 12:55 |
| ioria | ember_, yes | 12:55 |
| ioria | ember_, gdebi it's a gui tool for manual .deb pkg installation | 12:56 |
| ember_ | ah nice, I'll grab it | 12:56 |
| ember_ | how do I deal with the dbus and ureadahead issues? | 12:56 |
| ioria | ember_, i'd check also the size of your logs folder ... (/var/log) | 12:57 |

| Miguel2013 | MonkeyDust, it's a netgear wireless card | 13:27 |
| tomreyn | SSMAdmin: thanks, i read your reply. so you don't have a NIC that is managed by network manager, which is maybe why you can't setup the screen sharing option. | 13:27 |
| Miguel2013 | MonkeyDust, wifi | 13:27 |
| tomreyn | SSMAdmin: or more precisely, you have no connection profile setup on network manager (NM) | 13:27 |
| SSMAdmin | That seems correct, but this must be a bug, at this works perfectly on this machine I am now using | 13:28 |
| tomreyn | SSMAdmin: okay, then search for an existing bug report on it, and, if you can't find one, report one. | 13:28 |
| SSMAdmin | And as I may remember, it did work right after installation (network systray icon showed up), but after a while, it dissappeared | 13:29 |
| Miguel2013 | SSMAdmin, may be a problem similar to my wag511 | 13:30 |
| tomreyn | SSMAdmin: see "nmcli help" to find out how to provide more information on your configuration / on NM's perspective on your system. | 13:30 |
| SSMAdmin | tomreyn, How do I manually set up such a connection profile, to solve the problem while waitng for a bugreport to solve it? | 13:30 |
| Miguel2013 | it works for a few seconds then get irq pool problems | 13:30 |
| SSMAdmin | Miguel2013, maybe, but I dont know...what is wag511? | 13:31 |
| tomreyn | SSMAdmin: if the NM icon does not show on your desktop in the top right notification area, even after logout and login (please try if you haven't), then you can still use mncli to create the profile, starting from 'nmcli help' | 13:31 |
| MonkeyDust | Miguel2013 better start from the beginning, give more details | 13:32 |
| === plasmoduck is now known as plasm0duck_ | ||
| tomreyn | SSMAdmin: this is probably not related to Miguel2013's issue, since you have a stable network connection. | 13:32 |
| SSMAdmin | tomreyn, it is like you describe it. Does not show up even after log out and log in, even after reboot | 13:32 |
| tomreyn | SSMAdmin: so your issue seems to be somehow related to network manager not initializaing properly, or the applet not loading. | 13:33 |
| syntaxfree | so I've accidentally removed myself from the sudoers list on my laptop. | 13:33 |
| syntaxfree | but I've never had a root login. so I don't know how to fix this. | 13:33 |

| designbybeck | am_ex, so is this the Gnome extension thing you install via a web browser? I'm new to Gnome stuff | 14:00 |
| syntaxfree | but even on a root console I kept seeing "/etc/ is a read-only filesystem" | 14:00 |
| am_ex | I have this applet in my Ubuntu Budgie | 14:01 |
| jr_admin | hi i keep getting email's from www-data saying that awstat cannot open access.log..i went to /etc/awstats/awstats.conf and input my hostname and i also modified to /etc/logrotate.d/apache2 to 666 root adm yet i still get emails every 10 minutes how can i stop these emails | 14:01 |
| syntaxfree | so I tried the option in the recovery menu to enable networking. so I could come back to IRC. | 14:01 |
| am_ex | I think it's compatible applet for all gnome versions | 14:01 |
| am_ex | Try google it | 14:01 |
| syntaxfree | and then that remounted my filesystem in read-write mode. even though it didn't enable no networking. | 14:01 |
| SSMAdmin | tomreyn, no, the network manager applet (systry network Icon is not there) but if I click the very right side down arrow, I get the icon which shows enp4so) | 14:01 |
| syntaxfree | then I was able to fix the problem. | 14:01 |
| am_ex | designbybeck, I install it trought Budgie Applet manager | 14:01 |
| syntaxfree | pragmaticenigma: thanks anyway. | 14:02 |
| syntaxfree | can I rename my current user altogether? | 14:02 |
| am_ex | I like Ubuntu Badgie very much :) | 14:02 |
| tomreyn | SSMAdmin: oh, okay, great then just use that. | 14:02 |
| designbybeck | but even though I'm on Ubuntu 18.04 and not Budgie | 14:02 |
| am_ex | It's compatible i think | 14:02 |
| silas | Hi. Cannot install Ubuntu to a external HDD driver (USB) via qemu. Getting "[ 22.696915] Initramfs unpacking failed: write error". Any tips? | 14:02 |
| am_ex | Try to find out | 14:02 |
| syntaxfree | my whole problem started because Matlab refuses to run if the linux username doesn't match my username at mathworks. | 14:02 |
| SSMAdmin | tomreyn, both gave error: Error: Failed to add/activate new connection: Connection 'enp4s0' is not available on the device enp4s0 at this time. | 14:02 |
| am_ex | designbybeck, I have 18.04 too | 14:03 |
| am_ex | But Budgie edition | 14:03 |
| syntaxfree | so I created a username that matches. but then I've got my whole Dropbox in this username, etc. so I was trying to add the other usrnam to sudoers. | 14:03 |
| syntaxfree | but it now occurs me that maybe I can just rename my current username?? | 14:03 |
| designbybeck | am_ex, I've came across this one, I tried the manual install, but i'm going to try the extension route and see if it works: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1037/customcorner/ | 14:03 |
| davide136 | Hi guys, need some help...with x11vnc and a server | 14:04 |
| davide136 | no display connected, when starting it says XOpenDisplay("") failed. | 14:04 |
| syntaxfree | (yes, I can su into "xheimlich" from "diego". But Matlab needs the GUI to have logged in as "xheimlich". | 14:04 |
| syntaxfree | ) | 14:04 |
| tomreyn | SSMAdmin: hmm, do you get the same error messga ewhen you run "nmcli d connect enp4s0"? | 14:05 |
| am_ex | designbybeck, try it | 14:05 |
| SSMAdmin | tomreyn, the network icon shows as a network of three computers, with a cross on top of one of them, probably the enp4s0 | 14:05 |
| SSMAdmin | tomreyn, yes, same error | 14:05 |
| tomreyn | SSMAdmin: okay, this is just there to indicate that you'r enot currently connected | 14:05 |
| davide136 | !join ubuntu-it | 14:06 |
| tomreyn | SSMAdmin: how about "nmcli d connect enp5s0" ? | 14:06 |
| SSMAdmin | tomreyn, same error | 14:06 |
| tomreyn | SSMAdmin: please post: dmesg -T | pastebinit | 14:07 |
| tomreyn | SSMAdmin: oh wait you probably cant since you may no longer be online? | 14:07 |
| tomreyn | SSMAdmin: well just try | 14:08 |
| SSMAdmin | tomreyn, thats the strange part, I AM online | 14:08 |
| SSMAdmin | tomreyn, can I pm you the link? | 14:08 |
| tomreyn | SSMAdmin: yes | 14:08 |

| bioc0de | hello, there is a possibility to change the shortcuts related with <Super> to <Super_R>, in order to create new shortcuts with <Super_L>? | 14:10 |
| zapadas | tomreyn: you seem like a network guru...can I get in line for some help on 14.04 after SSMAdmin? :) | 14:11 |
| designbybeck | am_ex, do you use the Gnome Tweaks or gnome-tweak-tool ? | 14:11 |
| designbybeck | trying to find where to change the setting | 14:11 |
| tomreyn | zapadas: just ask your question here, there's are others around who ma ybe able to help, too. | 14:13 |
| zapadas | tomreyn: OK cool. | 14:13 |
| zapadas | Struggling with a strange 14.04 networking issue. I have a default gateway on eth2.111, when I ifdown eth2; ifup eth2 VLAN111 comes back, but the default gateway doesn't! | 14:14 |
| zapadas | I tossed a request up on SO: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1031695/default-gateway-in-a-vlan-does-not-come-back-up-when-physical-interface-is-ifdow | 14:14 |
| tomreyn | SSMAdmin: i'm actually a little puzzled there. your nic comes up, it is not managed by NM, and when NM tries to manage it it just states that, at this time, it cannot. i'm actually not really into networking on anything past ubuntu 16.04, yet, so i may have conceptional mistakes there. | 14:14 |
| tomreyn | SSMAdmin: i searched this message "nmcli d connect enp4s0" returned, but could not really find anything specific to your situation. | 14:16 |
| SSMAdmin | tomreyn, that is ok, thank you for your help so far, at least you tried. | 14:16 |
| SSMAdmin | tomreyn, I am no good at the tech language, how do you suggest I formulate a bug report? | 14:17 |
| dan01 | Testing the IRC client from Android :) | 14:17 |
| tomreyn | SSMAdmin: actually, can you post /var/log/syslog as well (private is ok) | 14:19 |
| tomreyn | SSMAdmin: that's "sudo pastebinit /var/log/syslog" | 14:19 |
| tomreyn | SSMAdmin: network manager should log to this, and it may provide a better error message there | 14:20 |
| SSMAdmin | tomreyn, see pm | 14:21 |
| designbybeck | is 18.03 using Gnome Shell 3.28.1 | 14:22 |
| tomreyn | zapadas: i think you'll need to provide more details: how is the network configured (show configuration files) and what does it look like when it's fine, what does it look like when it's wrong? | 14:22 |
| designbybeck | is that what the Gnome 3.28.1 means in Details? | 14:22 |
| IRC-Source_30721 | hi .. i got a mystery here .. when i run hostname i get server.domain .. when i run hostname -f i get localhost .. when i run domain name i get (none) .. why? how to fix? | 14:25 |
| christos_ | Hey guys. how do I add a self signed certificate to my system so it stops saying "Not Secure" in my browser? | 14:26 |
| teward | christos_: all self-signed certificates will be considered 'invalid' | 14:27 |
| teward | there's no real way to suppress that | 14:27 |
| teward | especially since the "Not Secure" parts are browser-level implementations | 14:27 |
| tomreyn | SSMAdmin: you have pending updates, inclduing a kernel update. please install all of them , reboot and come bakc if this issue persists. | 14:28 |
| christos_ | teward: Really, Windows systems can trust a self-signed but linux cannot? I find that hard to belive. | 14:28 |
| tomreyn | SSMAdmin: the vino log line is a follow-up error. it dpends on network manager managing your connection, which fails. | 14:29 |
| IRC-Source_30721 | christos_: that would be typical windows :D | 14:29 |
| teward | ^ this | 14:29 |
| teward | christos_: Windows does some odd things to the 'certificate stores' | 14:29 |
| teward | Linux doesn't. | 14:29 |
| teward | what Windows permits is actually "broken behavior" | 14:29 |
| christos_ | teward: so what good are self-signed certs then? | 14:30 |
| MonkeyDust | teward christos_ take the discussion elsewhere | 14:30 |
| christos_ | MonkeyDust: sorry | 14:30 |

| Toriel | I have a iMac 16,2 with Kubuntu 18.04. My sound card is CS4208. There is no sound from speaker, but sound from headphone. alsamixer does not recognize some of my speakers on my iMac. Sounds is perfect with headphones. Someone knows how to fix it ? | 14:37 |
| tgm4883 | Toriel: no worries dude, what are you having issues with? | 14:37 |
| SSMAdmin | tomreyn, you told me I have pending updates, that is strange, because I just did a apt update and it says "All packages are up to date", so there is nothing to update? | 14:38 |
| zapadas | tomreyn: you got it, I'll update it on SO. | 14:38 |
| SSMAdmin | tomreyn, thanks for the link thought, I go read it | 14:38 |

| Borw3 | Help, getting segment fault when luanching packettracer on ubuntu 18.04 | 14:46 |
| tomreyn | SSMAdmin: well there is a newer kernel than the one you have running, that's all i really know. it may have been installed since you last rebooted. | 14:46 |
| genii | syntaxfree: You usually also need to tell usermod to move their home directory to the new name as well, with the -d /home/newloginname -m ... switches | 14:48 |
| Borw3 | guys, ubuntu 18.04 crashing packettracer 7.1.1 with error: (segmentation fault) please help | 14:49 |
| SSMAdmin | tomreyn, how can I find out what kernel I am running, and what is the new version? | 14:49 |
| m27 | is there a torrent client with a terminal interface, and web-interface (but not perse regular gui)? | 14:50 |

| syntaxfree | great. my old username doesn't exist anymore. | 14:52 |
| syntaxfree | all my files are there and an account/home dir with the new name exist. | 14:53 |
| tomreyn | SSMAdmin: there is the linux-image-generic package, a package which always remains installed and always depends on the latest available actual kernel image package. https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/linux-image-generic | 14:53 |
| tomreyn | SSMAdmin: linux-image-generic currnetly depends on the https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/linux-image-4.15.0-20-generic package. | 14:54 |
| tomreyn | SSMAdmin: and package linux-image-4.15.0-20-generic is availabe in version 4.15.0-20.21 | 14:54 |
| MonkeyDust | Borw3 better contact the maintainer of the app | 14:54 |
| syntaxfree | also: why dropping into tty1 (ctrl-alt-f1) doesnt let me log in either? | 14:55 |
| tomreyn | SSMAdmin: to determine the version you are currently running, use "cat /proc/version" | 14:55 |
| Borw3 | MonkeyDust: The maintainer is cisco LOL... no hopes | 14:55 |

| Borw3 | tgm4883: No 7.1.1, why 6 works? | 14:57 |
| tgm4883 | Borw3: no idea. But there's a thread on the forums saying you need libssl1.0.0:i386 | 14:58 |
| SSMAdmin | tomreyn, could installing ubuntu-desktop in the server have contributed to these type of problems? | 14:58 |

| Borw3 | tgm4883: Already installed that, hmm, let me try 6.0 then | 14:58 |
| tomreyn | SSMAdmin: i need to head to food, will probably be back later, but can't say when exactly. feel free to try debugging this more with seomeone else around here, or to file a bug reporting this network manager message where it says it cannot handle your connection. use the "ubuntu-bug network-manager" command to file it. | 14:58 |

| SSMAdmin | tomreyn, ok, thank you for all help so far | 14:59 |
| tomreyn | SSMAdmin: hmm yes, that's possible. i assume ubuntu.server may not use network-manager by default but systemd-networkd, btut i'm not actually sure. | 14:59 |
| Borw3 | tgm4883: Yes, and I end up with segfault just after 1 second of startup | 14:59 |
| tomreyn | SSMAdmin: if so, it's maybe not a bug then. but a featuzre request to make it easier to switch between systemd-networkd and network-manager | 15:00 |
| tomreyn | SSMAdmin: welcome, ttyl | 15:00 |
| SSMAdmin | tomreyn, or someone else, just a last question: If I instead of the 18.04 server install the Desktop version, will the Desktop version detect and set up my current Raid1 automatically? | 15:00 |
| theTOOLMAN | SSMAdmin: !mdadm | 15:01 |
| theTOOLMAN | !adm | 15:01 |
| theTOOLMAN | no? damn bottu doesn't knwo mdadm | 15:02 |
| tgm4883 | !info mdadm | 15:02 |
| ubottu | mdadm (source: mdadm): tool to administer Linux MD arrays (software RAID). In component main, is optional. Version 4.0-2 (artful), package size 433 kB, installed size 1317 kB (Only available for linux-any) | 15:02 |
| SSMAdmin | theTOOLMAN, I know mdadm to set up Raid1, but I already have a raid1 in the computer. If I scrap 18.04 server, and instead install desktop version, will mdadm be there to automatically detect current raid1 and autoconfigure it, as the server install does? | 15:02 |
| OnkelTem | Hi all. KWalletManager stopped working on 17.10 after todays update | 15:02 |
| OnkelTem | Does anybody have any idea? | 15:03 |
| leftyfb | SSMAdmin: is it hardware RAID1 you're looking to do or software RAID? | 15:03 |
| theTOOLMAN | idk about 18.04 but nothing changed between mdadm on server/desktop | 15:03 |
| SSMAdmin | software raid | 15:03 |
| leftyfb | SSMAdmin: was the software RAID setup using linux? | 15:04 |
| nacc | i'm not sure mdadm is preinstalled on desktop, though (it is on server) | 15:04 |
| theTOOLMAN | mdadm will even let you control hardware raid. just an fyi | 15:04 |
| SSMAdmin | leftyfb, yes, it was set up in previous 16.04 | 15:04 |
| leftyfb | actually, I don't know if the desktop installer will detect it and use mdadm | 15:04 |
| metrum | Hi! | 15:04 |
| theTOOLMAN | and to see what it is doing, cat /proc/mdstat | 15:04 |
| compdoc | be nice to be able to remove or disable mdadm | 15:04 |
| leftyfb | you might need to install mdadm in the live session and is to scan for your volume | 15:04 |
| leftyfb | SSMAdmin: why not just recreate it? | 15:05 |
| SSMAdmin | I have now upgraded to 18.04, raid1 is working, but now i have network problems, so consider installing 18.04 desktop and doing the LAMP install manually, but don't want to mess up my raid1 | 15:05 |
| tgm4883 | SSMAdmin: wait, why are you scrapping 18.04 server? You could just install the desktop package | 15:05 |
| metrum | Is someone here who used CUDA on Ubuntu before? | 15:05 |
| tgm4883 | SSMAdmin: what kind of networking problems? | 15:06 |
| nacc | compdoc: in what sense? | 15:06 |
| SSMAdmin | tgm4883, because 18.04 has given me a lot of problems with network management | 15:06 |
| SSMAdmin | tgm4883, https://pastbin.smartskandalen.info/raw/hugadufuxo | 15:06 |
| SSMAdmin | tgm4883, tomreyn has been trying to help out, but we did not find a solution | 15:07 |
| tgm4883 | ah | 15:07 |
| OnkelTem | How to check if everything is fine with my encrypted home? | 15:09 |
| compdoc | nacc, every time apt installs new kernels, update-grub tries to apply mdadm, which never exist for me. Once, something I did I assume, mdadm tried to create a raid using drives in a zpool. I had to backup the pool, erase all partitions, and recreate the pool. | 15:10 |

| tgm4883 | cap_: different wireless networks that aren't connected | 15:33 |

| cap_ | JimBuntu, i can access the admin settings via my phone easily. i don't know whats the prblem with the desktop pc. | 15:40 |

| cap_ | compdoc, im not really sure about the channel. but i do know the wifi and router is password protected. | 15:41 |
| JimBuntu | cap_, are both of your routers using the same radio band... as in, are they both 2.4G or both 5G (when you are connecting to them) ? | 15:41 |
| cap_ | JimBuntu, the asus router is 2.4g and the other one im not sure, it was provided by the isp, its a huawei wifi modem. | 15:42 |
| cap_ | i dont have any problem with the asus router days ago. can't access the admin settings, cant connect to it's network. but my phone can access admin settings and shared folders. | 15:43 |
| oerheks | .. but you have now | 15:43 |
| JimBuntu | cap_, I suggest you check on your laptop, however you want, to confirm that the other one isn't using 5G. If it is, it could be that there is an issue with one of the bands on your pc. As others have said, reset the modem. | 15:43 |
| oerheks | cap_, did you turn it off/on again yet? | 15:43 |
| cap_ | oerheks, yes i've tried that. | 15:44 |
| cap_ | JimBuntu, the other one is a 4g modem router. | 15:44 |
| JimBuntu | 4G has nothing to do with the 2.4GHz or 5GHz that I am talking about | 15:45 |
| JimBuntu | 4G, is as in, 4G cellular (which never even existed), they dropped the requirements so they could give up and move on to working out 5G | 15:46 |
| cap_ | JimBuntu, okay. but the thing is, my phone can access the asus router without a problem. my other pc wired can connect to asus router. | 15:46 |
| cap_ | but this pc im using cant connect via wifi to the asus router. | 15:47 |
| Adran | cap_: what do the logs say when it attempts to connect? | 15:47 |
| ledeni | cap_, turn off the router like puling plug off and wait 5 mins | 15:47 |
| JimBuntu | cap_, I'll put this plainly. It's possibly, your phone is accessing the ASUS over 5GHz... and that your 4G router is also using 5GHz... and your laptop is using 5GHz.... yet... the ASUS or your laptop may have trouble with the 2.4GHz side. You can flip those numbers equally and it *could* be the same issue. | 15:47 |
| JimBuntu | I think Adran has the right idea, since you can access the admin via your phone | 15:48 |
| Xard | seems like in ubuntu 18.04 the ubuntu dock refuses to pin any .desktop files which have different filename from the desktop file name parameter for unknown reason | 15:48 |
| cap_ | Adran, how do i see the logs? | 15:48 |
| === SimonNL_Afk is now known as SimonNL | ||
| cap_ | ledeni, already tried that. | 15:48 |
| Adran | cap_: open terminal do so journalctl -fn 1000 and try reconnecting to wifi | 15:48 |
| Adran | see what happens | 15:48 |
| Adran | sudo journalctl* | 15:49 |
| cap_ | Adran, too many logs | 15:49 |
| longword | Does the router have any logs? Is it configured to restrict access by MAC address? | 15:50 |
| Adran | cap_: When you try to reconnect, you'll see it as it happens with the journal | 15:50 |
| Adran | alternatively sudo egrep -i "Network|NM|wifi" /var/log/messages | 15:51 |
| cap_ | Adran, okay. need to do the journalctl if im login to that network provided by the asus router? | 15:51 |
| Adran | cap_: you said that you cannot connect to wifi, which means there's a problem with connecting before you're on that network | 15:51 |
| Adran | if you are actually on the network but cannot access the router, then thats an entirely different set of troubleshooting steps. | 15:52 |
| Adran | for the first, you need to try to connect, so logs are generated to see why its failing | 15:52 |
| cap_ | Adran, okay. i cant connect to the asus router, cant connect to wifi. | 15:52 |
| cap_ | Adran, im still waiting for the result for grep | 15:53 |
| cap_ | Adran, hmm it's taking so long.. | 15:55 |
| Adran | cap_: thats a bit annoying. | 15:59 |
| === amirpro_ is now known as amirpro | ||
| JimBuntu | Adran, maybe `sudo egrep -i "Network|NM|wifi" /var/log/kern.log` ? | 15:59 |
| Adran | ^ cap_ | 15:59 |
| Adran | I usually use journalctl so I don't know where ubuntu puts log files these days (i also use a custom syslog configuration) | 16:00 |
| JimBuntu | I don't think there is a /var/log/messages any more, at least I don't interact with one. | 16:00 |
| hggdh | /var/log/messages was moved into /var/log/syslog many releases ago | 16:01 |
| JimBuntu | Adran, oddity is... why would it simply hang on that command? | 16:01 |
| cap_ | JimBuntu, what should i be looking for in the kern.log? | 16:02 |
| Adran | cap_: Anything NetworkManager/Wifi Related | 16:02 |
| JimBuntu | cap_, You should pastebin it... https://paste.ubuntu.com | 16:02 |
| cap_ | Adran, no result it just hang. | 16:02 |
| Adran | cap_: I'm kinda with JimBuntu, upload you /var/log/syslog | 16:02 |
| Adran | And we can try to guide you through what the problem is. | 16:03 |

| cap_ | JimBuntu, how did that happened? | 16:21 |
| JimBuntu | I'm only guessing, but I think perhaps MAC based permissions. Or perhaps you are out of available DHCP entries (I have seen this before). | 16:21 |
| JimBuntu | I would have expected the reset of the router to clear those, but I know sometimes they aren't and you have to wait X hours | 16:22 |
| cap_ | JimBuntu, hmm. but mac address is permanent on a device? | 16:22 |
| cap_ | JimBuntu, thank u. i'll try to reset the asus router tomorrow, i'll save all the saved mac entries from the people who used the router. | 16:24 |

| SoniEx2 | so "build it myself"? | 17:47 |
| SSMAdmin | nacc, no I have not installed desktop on server. That was just a question I tossed out, as I wondered if the server trouble I have could be eliminated by installing desktop version instead. To sum up the problem in question, now occuring in my server, see here: https://pastbin.smartskandalen.info/raw/hugadufuxo | 17:49 |
| JimBuntu | SoniEx2, that would be an option | 17:49 |

| nacc | SSMAdmin: right, so you did install desktop on server :) | 17:52 |
| SSMAdmin | ahh, yes then, but I have not installed the Desktop version of Ubuntu 18.04, I have installed the server, and enchanged it with the desktop. The other part of my questions earlier today was IF I reinstall the system, but now just using the desktop version instead of the server, i that could fix the network managin problems...but just forget about that, it only adds confusion to the discussion :-) | 17:54 |

| rosco__ | Hi, /usr/bin/python is missing from the default install of the latest 18.04, am I missing something? Why doesn't /usr/bin/python links to /usr/bin/python3? | 18:00 |
| Pici | rosco__: because python and python3 are different things. python is always python 2 | 18:00 |
| blackflow | rosco__: PEP-394 | 18:01 |
| rosco__ | well then python2 and python are different things. | 18:01 |
| rosco__ | this is ridiculous | 18:01 |
| rosco__ | a lot of scripts are calling for python in general without mention of the version | 18:02 |
| ash_work | how do you uninstall something you installed from a deb package? | 18:02 |
| ash_work | nvm | 18:03 |
| blackflow | rosco__: then they're asking for python 2. PEP-394 defines what "default" python command should be. | 18:03 |
| ioria | rosco__, what you mean with '/usr/bin/python is missing from the default install of the latest 18.04' ? | 18:04 |
| JimBuntu | Canonical said they were removing python2 from default install... a few more years and I think no more apt for it either | 18:05 |

| blackbird1 | Hi, I have a big problem, I use a kit (mic & headphones) to record a video. The microphone records a loud big static noise. How to fix that please ? | 18:10 |
| germs | @enissay grep seems like it would be a better choice... find you would need to use -exec grep | 18:10 |
| nacc | rosco__: and do *not* remove python2 from ubuntu; python pointing to python3 would be a violationof pep as well | 18:10 |
| omarp | tomreyn: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/sNCH5Jt2Jf/ , any advice ? | 18:10 |
| germs | to be clear, yes you could use find | 18:10 |
| nacc | rosco__: if you need python2, use it, otherwise don't. | 18:10 |
| enissay | germs: my bad, grep would be fine as well... | 18:10 |
| enissay | just found a lead on it and was reading the man | 18:11 |
| germs | grep -RiE "word1|word2|word3" <path> | 18:11 |
| enissay | germs: can I use a file as entry... it contains 50+ words, one per line... better read from the file than put them in one line :x | 18:12 |
| rosco__ | nacc: install it if I need it otherwise don't install it? What kind of argument is this? python is the base of so many scripts that the standard install should at least return one valid interpreter for /usr/bin/python. | 18:13 |
| nacc | enissay: perhaps you want `man grep` ? :) | 18:13 |
| enissay | yes yes, on it :P | 18:13 |
| germs | sounds like some kind of while read line; do find something something -exec grep er something | 18:13 |
| nacc | rosco__: base ubuntu does not need it anymore (aiui) and if a package does, then it should express that dependency | 18:13 |
| nacc | rosco__: if you need it for some hand script, install python2.7? | 18:14 |
| nacc | rosco__: and there is *one* interpreter for /usr/bin/python, it's python2, if you need it. | 18:14 |
| ioria | my 18.04 has python-mininal (but i upgraded from 17.10) | 18:15 |
| === Guest49957 is now known as melissa | ||
| nacc | right, if you already had scripts taht used python2 in previous releases, you will still have python | 18:15 |
| nacc | if you fresh installed 18.04, you can't have scripts that need python2, until you put them on the system | 18:16 |

| rosco__ | nacc: just point /usr/bin/python to python3 instead of removing /usr/bin/python completey. Not doing it shows that ubuntu is miles away from unerstanding the enterpris needs. also, not installing by default a package called "python-minimal" is really telling a lot: no python by default on ubuntu 18.

| xfcetheme | brainwash: ive seen it and it doesnt help since i dont know the gui components by name, just saw it at uni | 18:27 |
| Guest84535 | hello | 18:28 |
| brainwash | xfcetheme: gui components? | 18:28 |
| Guest84535 | Has anyone heard of BothanSpy & Gyrfalcon? | 18:29 |
| ioria | SSMAdmin, you should have a file in /etc/netplan ; check the renderer | 18:29 |
| xfcetheme | what the theme(und which sparte id search for it) is called, waht the cursor is called, how | 18:30 |
| omarp | brainwash: Hi, could you help me with an issue ? | 18:30 |
| xfcetheme | *how id install it | 18:30 |
| brainwash | xfcetheme: uhm.. shouldn't you ask that the manjaro people? | 18:31 |
| SSMAdmin | ioria, renderer says networkd | 18:31 |
| ioria | SSMAdmin, so it's not managed by NM | 18:31 |
| xfcetheme | true, off i go | 18:31 |
| xfcetheme | thanks | 18:31 |
| SSMAdmin | ioria, so that may be the reason I can not manage network connections in the desktop? If so, how do I change this so these network connections can be managed by Network Manager instead? | 18:32 |
| SSMAdmin | ioria, here is the problem, if you care to read: https://pastbin.smartskandalen.info/raw/hugadufuxo | 18:33 |
| ioria | SSMAdmin, first make a backup of that file .. | 18:33 |
| SSMAdmin | ioria, done | 18:34 |
| ioria | SSMAdmin, ok, using static or manual ? | 18:34 |
| SSMAdmin | ? | 18:34 |
| ioria | SSMAdmin, sorry, dhcp or static ? | 18:35 |
| SSMAdmin | ioria, I get assigned an ip adress, but in the router it is set to static | 18:35 |
| SSMAdmin | so it is dhcp actually | 18:35 |

| SSMAdmin | ioria, yes, I was not able to active screen sharing (vnc) as I could not choose network connection in the Sharing - ScreenSharing dialog box (because Network Manager did not control the connections) | 18:44 |
| hume | hwoever I can't seem to start gcc because `gcc` tells me you need to 'apt-get install gcc' or whatever. Do I need to link gcc-6 to a new env or something? | 18:44 |
| userad | i have a problem my laptop shutdown allein. please help | 18:44 |

| ioria | SSMAdmin, i don't remember if vino is installed by default in bionic: dpkg -l | grep vino | 18:45 |
| omarp | brainwash: yes the file is in server, but i got : Err:21 https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/dists/bionic/stable bionic Release 404 Not Found [IP: 216.137.41.89 443] , I don't know why ? | 18:46 |
| ioria | SSMAdmin, btw, is Desktop Sharing | 18:47 |
| SSMAdmin | ioria, that is correct, but it is called "Screen sharing" in the Ubuntu interface | 18:47 |
| ioria | SSMAdmin, dpkg -l | grep vino | 18:48 |
| SSMAdmin | ioria, I just tell you what it says when you go to desktop tools/admin "Sharing" area | 18:49 |
| SSMAdmin | it say "Screen sharing" | 18:49 |
| ioria | SSMAdmin, ok, dpkg -l | grep vino what's the output | 18:49 |
| brainwash | omarp: maybe this https://github.com/docker/for-linux/issues/290 | 18:49 |
| nacc | omarp: ioria you are running the wrong command, afaict | 18:50 |
| ioria | nacc, meaning ? | 18:50 |
| nacc | ioria: i think it's wrong for it to say 'bionic stable' | 18:51 |
| nacc | ioria: in the sources.list addition | 18:51 |
| nacc | ioria: as bionic is in the path, no? | 18:51 |
| nacc | ioria: or if it is bionic stable, then the url is wrong | 18:51 |
| SSMAdmin | ioria, it says: ii vino 3.22.0-3ubuntu1 amd64 VNC server for GNOME | 18:51 |
| nacc | yes the url is wrong | 18:51 |

| ioria | nacc, wrong nick ? :) | 18:53 |
| nacc | ioria: err, yes! brainwash --^ as to helping omarp | 18:53 |
| ioria | nacc, ok | 18:53 |
| srukle | nacc: I don't know the technical name. When mini.iso boots, it's an installation program. Do you know that name of that installation program? I understand it's different from Ubuntu Desktop and Ubuntu Server. | 18:53 |
| ioria | SSMAdmin, ok, ps -A | grep -i vino | 18:53 |
| nacc | srukle: i dont think it is | 18:54 |
| nacc | srukle: mini.iso just doesn't have packages on the iso | 18:54 |
| srukle | nacc: So it's the same project as Desktop and Server? I'm looking for the source. | 18:54 |
| nacc | srukle: i'm fairly sure it's still ubiquity | 18:54 |
| srukle | nacc: I'll look. Thank you! | 18:54 |

| SSMAdmin | ioria, thanks a lot for you help | 18:57 |
| ioria | SSMAdmin, no problem you're welcm | 18:57 |
| SSMAdmin | ioria, what do I need then? | 18:57 |
| SSMAdmin | ioria, what do I need then, instead of Remmina? :-) | 18:58 |
| SSMAdmin | something better? | 18:58 |
| ioria | SSMAdmin, vino is a server | 18:58 |
| ioria | SSMAdmin, you connect to a server witha client | 18:58 |
| ioria | SSMAdmin, e.g. vinagre or another client | 18:59 |
| SSMAdmin | ioria, yes, and I am sitting on my personal computer, using Remmina to connect to my server we have just configured. This so I can control the living room server without disturbing the rest of the family watching tv :-) | 18:59 |
| ioria | SSMAdmin, right :) | 19:00 |
| SSMAdmin | ioria, we may have just misunderstood each other. I thought you ment there was something better to use than Remmina | 19:00 |
| ioria | SSMAdmin, i don't mean 'better' ; i eman there a lot of other clients available ... but if remmina is ok, problem solved ! | 19:01 |
| SSMAdmin | Remmina has crap resolution, maybe I just have to tweak it | 19:01 |
| SSMAdmin | Resolution fixed, imagine what one can find if one just look around in config settings :-) | 19:03 |
| Miguel2013 | SSMAdmin, hey I used to run ubuntu 7.10 on a pentium 3 and it gave me distorted resolution the laptop was even older but using ubuntu 10.10 just worked out of the box why | 19:04 |

| v0lksman | oh and just ran teh ubuntu-bug thing and this is a known problem but because I'm headless I can't see the bug number and no browser popped open | 19:34 |

| v0lksman | no this is on a server | 19:37 |
| v0lksman | is there a sever specific channel | 19:37 |
| ioria | v0lksman, /var/log/dist-upgrade/ and what kind of error do you get ? | 19:37 |
| leftyfb | v0lksman: there is, but what errors are you getting? | 19:38 |
| ioria | v0lksman, most of the problems from 14.04 to 16.04 are systemd related | 19:39 |
| omarp | brainwash, nacc, ioria: I got same error even with sudo ap-get update: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/nTXjsN566W/ | 19:39 |
| v0lksman | that's the one! looks like one of my postgres packages is holding it up | 19:40 |

| oerheks | omarp, what confuses me, is that docker uses https.. | 19:40 |
| leftyfb | v0lksman: you need to post error messages | 19:41 |
| leftyfb | v0lksman: what about removing posgres, do the upgrade and reinstall? | 19:41 |
| v0lksman | can't remove the entire DB but it's complaining about postgis so I've removed it and trying again | 19:44 |
| v0lksman | x | 19:44 |
| leftyfb | v0lksman: I didn't say remove the db. Just the package. Also, you have yet to post an error message. | 19:45 |
| rdias002 | debkad, thanks but i have already visited that page. didn't help much. pressing ctrl is only a shortcut and not a gesture. also i want to disable touchpad while typing because my cursor keeps jumping here and there | 19:45 |
| v0lksman | all good...seems that was it...now dealing with not enough disk space | 19:46 |

| v0lksman | all good...upgrade is now running...thanks guys! | 19:50 |
| v0lksman | (gals too!) | 19:50 |
| leftyfb | RoadRunner|2: depending on how you've got your networking setup, whatever network stack should override it | 19:50 |
| leftyfb | RoadRunner|2: a kernel change has nothing to do with resolv.conf | 19:50 |
| leftyfb | RoadRunner|2: what version of ubuntu? | 19:50 |
| RoadRunner|2 | leftyfb: 16.04 | 19:51 |
| oerheks | omarp, ahhh https://github.com/docker/for-linux/issues/290 | 19:51 |
| leftyfb | RoadRunner|2: server or desktop? | 19:51 |
| RoadRunner|2 | leftyfb: desktop | 19:51 |
| oerheks | omarp, " Expect the release of 18.05.0-ce within the coming weeks. Please note that the 18.05.0-ce release is for the edge channel only" | 19:52 |
| oerheks | so you found the edge version, that is all there is now | 19:52 |
| leftyfb | RoadRunner|2: then Network Manager (resolvconf) will override your /etc/resolv.conf each time you (re)connect to a network/VPN/etc | 19:52 |

| omarp | brainwash, nacc, ioria, oerheks: something related to ppa | 19:56 |
| brainwash | omarp: disable that ppa then | 19:56 |
| oerheks | just told you, only edge is out | 19:57 |
| brainwash | oerheks: you didn't even check the pastebin | 19:57 |
| RoadRunner|2 | leftyfb: nmcli device being the gateway/router? | 19:57 |

| leftyfb | RoadRunner|2: Whatever computer is failing to do lookups, run the command I posted above and post the ip's here | 19:59 |
| oerheks | omarp, this ppa has no candidate, so it is safe to disable/remove https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/+archive/ubuntu/ubuntu-make | 20:00 |
| brainwash | omarp: I would switch to a different solution. ubuntu 18.04 has been released and those docker guys are unable to support it right away. unbelievable! | 20:00 |
| bodhilinuxaref2 | hi | 20:00 |
| RoadRunner|2 | leftyfb: my point is, I can't do that now because I and the comp in question are at different locations; so the best I can do is try to understand the whole diag process using my current working computer as a prop | 20:01 |
| leftyfb | RoadRunner|2: you'll need access to the computer we're troubleshooting in order to troubleshoot it. Otherwise, you're not going to get much help here | 20:01 |

| leftyfb | RoadRunner|2: That's not how troubleshooting works. Steps can change depending on what we find | 20:06 |
| leftyfb | RoadRunner|2: check/change the public DNS your router uses ... .try that. Preferably, use 1.1.1.1 and no other DNS | 20:07 |
| RoadRunner|2 | leftyfb: who's ip is 1.1.1.1? | 20:07 |

| odroid | oracle or open java | 20:11 |
| oerheks | !java | odroid choose the one you like | 20:12 |
| ubottu | odroid choose the one you like: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 20:12 |
| oerheks | use open source, ofcourse | 20:12 |
| leftyfb | odroid: That's an opinion query. Not a support question. Use the one that works best for your purposes. If you don't have one, use open source. | 20:12 |

| RoadRunner|2 | leftyfb: regarding the DNS for the router on the problem comp: IPv4 Primary DNS 192.168.1.254 | 20:17 |
| leftyfb | nope | 20:17 |
| leftyfb | that's not the public DNS server your router is using | 20:17 |
| leftyfb | if it is, then absolutely nothing is getting resolved anywhere on your network | 20:17 |
| atlas_0x01 | Ay | 20:21 |
| Miguel2013 | ayay | 20:21 |
| atlas_0x01 | Wait...is that off topic?? | 20:21 |
| atlas_0x01 | *gasp* | 20:21 |
| Miguel2013 | test what dns other computer using the same isp works | 20:22 |
| RoadRunner|2 | leftyfb: and the nameserver ip from resolv.conf doesn't help? | 20:23 |
| leftyfb | RoadRunner|2: no, that points to your localhost which points to the local ip of your router which is using a public DNS which you can only get by looking at the config of your router | 20:23 |
| Miguel2013 | add dns-nameservers line to interfaces | 20:24 |
| Miguel2013 | yea try the router ip too | 20:24 |
| SSMAdmin | Is there a way I can increase password strenght in Vino (remote desktop viewing)? Currently I can only set, either so server has to accept a VNC connection, or using a password of maximum 8 characters. 8 is too weak in my opinion | 20:25 |

| RoadRunner|2 | leftyfb: does this help? https://imgur.com/a/SNxuXuV | 20:29 |
| leftyfb | RoadRunner|2: is that the config of your router? | 20:29 |
| RoadRunner|2 | leftyfb: that's the info from the comp that can't connect for its only wired connection | 20:30 |
| leftyfb | RoadRunner|2: the answer is no. That is not the config from your router. You need to check what DNS server your router is using for it's public DNS and what DNS servers it is handing out via DHCP | 20:30 |
| RoadRunner|2 | leftyfb: the router belongs to my isp, when I try to dial into its gui from browser, I just get a 'welcome' screen without any real info or option to go deeper to look up anything | 20:34 |
| RoadRunner|2 | leftyfb: would I then have to call them to get the info you are asking? | 20:35 |
| leftyfb | RoadRunner|2: then edit your network manager config the computer you are using and on the ipv4 tab, change Automatic(DHCP) to Automatic(DHCP) address only and in the addional DNS servers, put 1.1.1.1 | 20:36 |
| leftyfb | RoadRunner|2: then either reconnect to the wired connection or reboot | 20:36 |
| SSMAdmin | How do I configure ufw to allow incoming tcp connections only from computers on the local network? | 20:38 |
| SSMAdmin | example port 5900 | 20:38 |
| Fjorgynn | :) | 20:38 |
| RoadRunner|2 | leftyfb: if this works, would that be a permanent change or would it get overwriten by next reboot or something? | 20:39 |
| leftyfb | RoadRunner|2: it's perm, only on that 1 device and until you connect via some other network device (wireless, usb wireless/wired,etc). This is why I was trying to get you to make the change at your router where it belongs | 20:40 |
| ohallot | hi... is this the end-user support channel? suitable to ask end-user questions? | 20:44 |
| leftyfb | !ask | ohallot | 20:45 |
| ubottu | ohallot: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 20:45 |
| phinxy | Is there a package for AlrGr-intl virtual console keymaps? | 20:45 |
| phinxy | dpk-reconfigure console-data did not have any AlrGr keymap at all. | 20:46 |
| phinxy | AltGr* | 20:46 |
| RoadRunner|2 | leftyfb: there is another comp on that network, so it will reck the setup I take it... So to do it right, I will have to call isp and get them to implement the change on their router. Except that they know nothing about linux, so unless I tell them exactly what to do, they will not know what settings to use for me. | 20:46 |
| ohallot | I'm chasing a config bug in latest Kubuntu 18.04. My session opens at tty1. Is that correct? Used to be tty7 with 17.10. | 20:47 |
| leftyfb | RoadRunner|2: they don't even have to know how to spell linux. They only need to set the public DNS of the router to 1.1.1.1 and make sure it's only giving out the ip of your router for DNS via DHCP or the same public DNS if they're not running local DNS on their router. | 20:47 |
| leftyfb | ohallot: probably not a bug. It's probably how they do things now. What does it matter to you though? | 20:48 |
| RoadRunner|2 | leftyfb: and then any number of comps on that network will work fine? | 20:50 |
| debkad | phinxy: Test If it is working by `xev` command | 20:50 |
| dave09 | Hey guys, does anyone have any idea why the login screen appear twice? | 20:50 |
| phinxy | debkad, Its all fine in X | 20:50 |
| leftyfb | RoadRunner|2: they'll either work better or not at all ;) at which point your ISP has some splainin to do | 20:50 |
| debkad | so it is working then | 20:50 |
| ohallot | leftyfb: yes. may be it how it is now. The second issue is: when I start a second session for a second user, it opens on tty1 and kills the current tty1 session instead of opening tty2. | 20:50 |
| leftyfb | gotta go now | 20:51 |
| phinxy | debkad, I'm trying to not use X as an experiment | 20:51 |
| Miguel2013 | why is akamai so in bed with microsoft | 20:51 |
| RoadRunner|2 | leftyfb: here's what I don't understand: the problem started after a bad kernel update; comp stopped booting and I had to remove old kernels to bring it to life. Everything returned to normality, except the comp couldn't connect to the internet. So, if no changes where made to the router, why did it work before but not now? | 20:53 |
| leftyfb | RoadRunner|2: you said you only had problems resolving DNS and that ping worked | 20:54 |
| RoadRunner|2 | leftyfb: after the kernel fix, correct | 20:55 |
| ohallot | Another issue I get since 17.10: Takes one minute between authetication and start of KDE desktop, in all my system end-users. PLain black screen, no disk acitivty. Seems the session is wating for a timeout, which I wasn't able so far to detect. Hits appreciated | 20:59 |

| nacc | jpleau: i believe if you do that, some of the installed-by-default snaps will fail | 21:21 |
| nacc | jpleau: there are others for gnome | 21:21 |
| jpleau | nacc: I removed every other snap besides "core" and this one, was wondering if anything else was using it :) | 21:22 |
| nacc | jpleau: gnome-calculator, -characters, -logs, and -system-monitor are the ones that need it, i assume | 21:23 |
| nacc | jpleau: if you already removed those snaps, you no longer have the functionality (which is assumed to be core gnome functionality, as it's installed by default) nor those apps | 21:23 |
| jpleau | nacc: I was wondering why those snaps were installed, since they were available from the repos (with a newer version) | 21:24 |
| jpleau | Anyway, I understand that it's safe to remove now, thanks :) | 21:24 |
| L00P3X | would it be a try worth to chmod the port like "sudo chmod 666 /dev/ttyUSB0" to get this mouse work? would ust knowif thers any chance.. I got it recognised whit dmesg | 21:26 |

| mattfly1 | hi | 22:15 |
| mattfly1 | can anyone give me an idea for a hack up or proper way to listen to mono youtube videos on both ears? | 22:16 |
| mattfly1 | sometimes videos are only hearable on the left or right and this annoys me | 22:16 |
| mattfly1 | i wanted to be able to convert the audio stream on the fly and make it more confortable, can anyone help me? | 22:16 |
| oerheks | mattfly1, mpv can do that, mpv --audio-channels=1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=<movie> | 22:21 |
| mattfly1 | but that wont pause when i pause the video | 22:21 |
| mattfly1 | oh wait will mpv play the video too? | 22:22 |
| oerheks | yes, space = pause | 22:22 |
| mattfly1 | damn! | 22:22 |
| theseb | newb question... https://pastebin.com/G7Wuanx2 <--- Where is swap on that 18.04 fstab file? | 22:22 |
| oerheks | some speech recognition programs work better this way, though | 22:22 |
| oerheks | vlc should do this also, not sure what option | 22:23 |
| theseb | do new ubuntu vers call swap "tmpfs" ? | 22:23 |
| mattfly1 | theres no swap there | 22:23 |
| mattfly1 | im also having problems to hibernate on 18.04 | 22:23 |
| oerheks | theseb, yes, fresh 7.10/18.04 uses swapfile | 22:23 |
| mattfly1 | it has a swap file now | 22:23 |
| oerheks | or 17.10 | 22:23 |
| theseb | mattfly1: oerheks : ok wait..so i shouldn't be alarmed 18.04 fstab does not show swap? | 22:24 |
| mattfly1 | is it a fresh install? | 22:24 |
| Miguel2013 | pavlos, I don't understand completely askubuntu but that could help me | 22:24 |
| theseb | mattfly1: yes..how check on the swapfile? | 22:24 |
| mattfly1 | well thats weird, you can just manually create an swapfile and add it to the fstab | 22:25 |
| nacc | theseb: swapon should indicate if there is one | 22:25 |
| mattfly1 | are you sure thats your whole fstab ?? | 22:25 |
| nacc | that's not an fstab, that's /proc/mounts, fwiw | 22:26 |
| oerheks | fstab should have an entry for swapfile > /swapfile none swap sw 0 0 | 22:26 |
| mattfly1 | on a fresh install i got /swapfile none swap sw 0 0" | 22:26 |
| oerheks | !fstab | 22:26 |
| ubottu | The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.pclosmag.com/html/Issues/200709/page07.html and !Partitions | 22:26 |
| pavlos | Miguel2013: d/ the tar.bz2, extract, compile, make install, then cp iwlwifi to the firmware area, attempt to insert the module | 22:26 |
| nacc | yes, i meant the pasted output above | 22:26 |
| nacc | snap mounts are not in fstab | 22:26 |
| pavlos | Miguel2013: d/ = download | 22:26 |
| theseb | mattfly1: yes..i'm using lvm...does that not use swap? i read somewhere only non-LVM has these swapfiles | 22:26 |
| mattfly1 | use cat /etc/fstab insttead theseb | 22:26 |
| nacc | in particular, as the user said in the paste, the above is df output | 22:26 |
| mattfly1 | or swapon -s | 22:26 |
| Miguel2013 | pavlos, I have netgear with atheros chipset tho | 22:27 |
| theseb | mattfly1: ah..cat gives this line... /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-swap_1 none swap sw 0 0 | 22:27 |
| theseb | 22:27 | |
| nacc | iirc, if you use LVM, no swapfile | 22:27 |
| nacc | (by default) | 22:27 |
| mattfly1 | well thats your swap | 22:27 |
| pavlos | Miguel2013: I've read that it would work for wag511 ... I'll find the link | 22:27 |
| mattfly1 | swapon -s will also show it | 22:28 |
| mattfly1 | now can anyone tell me if you had success on hibernating ubuntu 18.04 ? | 22:28 |
| Miguel2013 | pavlos, kidding? | 22:28 |
| theseb | mattfly1: swapon gives /dev/dm-1 partition 980M 0B -2 | 22:28 |
| theseb | mattfly1: i assume that's good? | 22:28 |
| mattfly1 | I always get stuck on s2disk snapshooting system | 22:29 |
| theseb | mattfly1: thanks for the help..i think i confirmed i have swap ;) | 22:29 |
| mattfly1 | theseb: yes you certainly have, looks weird that it is not the one on ur fstab and its a partiton. A personal tip is use htop to have a nice ncurses CLI view of your memory and running processes and swap usage | 22:30 |
| pavlos | Miguel2013: not sure I understand "kidding?" I'm trying to help ... http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man4/ath_hal.4freebsd.html Atheros Hardware Access Layer (HAL) supports AR5212, see Netgear WAG511 AR5212 CardBus a/b/g | 22:31 |
| mattfly1 | anyone knows why s2disk is getting frost? how to debug this? the only solution is alt+print REISUB or force turnoff on the power button when this happens | 22:32 |
| theseb | mattfly1: well there was an issue with a "Gave up waiting for suspend/resume" issue so i have to disable a line mentioning the swap in /etc/initramfs/conf.d/resume | 22:32 |
| theseb | mattfly1: then i made a new initramfs | 22:32 |
| theseb | mattfly1: hence my concern...that i somehow removd the swap | 22:32 |
| mattfly1 | well you have a small swap there, it seems 980M only | 22:33 |
| mattfly1 | were you trying to hibernate?: | 22:33 |
| theseb | mattfly1: no | 22:33 |
| theseb | mattfly1: when i boot the Ubuntu VM it was giving warnings/errors | 22:33 |
| mattfly1 | that happened while booting? | 22:33 |
| theseb | yes | 22:33 |
| theseb | mattfly1: it boots fine now and ubuntu 18.04 works...i just didn't know if i borked the swap with that hack | 22:34 |
| mattfly1 | dont force turnoff a vm or the host machine without turning off the vm properly | 22:34 |
| theseb | right.....i rebooted properly | 22:34 |

| Skaface82 | ok I have a very unsusual thing happening... I have my main display on a DVI port and a projector on a HDMI port... as soon as I turn my projector on, my LAN stops working. As soon as I turn my projector off my LAN works again | 23:38 |
| ntd | come on, canonical released an os unbootable on thinkpad t-series users | 23:38 |
| Skaface82 | only since upgrading to 18 from 17.10 | 23:38 |
| ntd | bionic: len ultra/pro dock=no | 23:38 |
| ntd | and i warned them | 23:38 |
| riotz | ntd, it works good on my t470p | 23:39 |
| ntd | docked? | 23:40 |
| ntd | with ultra/pro dock? | 23:40 |
| riotz | nope.. | 23:40 |
| ntd | yeah, hence me clarifying | 23:41 |
| riotz | ok.. sorry overread that | 23:41 |
| ntd | nomodeset works, but multimon is then out of the question without major tinkering. warned them | 23:42 |
| zeffy | guys if im in /home/user/Picture , and i want to move a file, i use : mv file1 /Downloads | 23:43 |
| zeffy | what happend if i did that ? | 23:43 |
| jordino | hi... im looking for help about smb.conf i swear i already readed a lot but it seems that every tutorial or guide is from 3 years ago!! | 23:44 |
| ntd | it would move it to an assumed root dir named "Downloads" | 23:44 |
| ntd | so maybe look up the ~ | 23:44 |
| ntd | or get a grip, generally | 23:44 |
| xamithan | The guide for smb.conf is .. "man smb.conf" | 23:45 |
| zeffy | is empty /Downloads from root dir | 23:45 |
| xamithan | It should have everything you need, a long with the example file | 23:45 |
| jordino | i already... | 23:47 |
| jordino | did | 23:47 |
| jordino | really | 23:47 |
| jordino | im looking for help | 23:47 |
| xamithan | Can't help until you ask a question | 23:47 |
| jordino | can anyone please help me? | 23:47 |
| jordino | im sure is a detail but i just cant find out | 23:48 |
| jordino | :( | 23:48 |
| riotz | jordino, read the syslog.. it will tell you whats going wrong | 23:48 |
| riotz | or was it smb.log? | 23:48 |
| oerheks | post it on paste.ubuntu.com .. | 23:49 |
| jordino | [2018/05/04 18:21:30.290276, 0] ../lib/param/loadparm.c:1750(lpcfg_do_service_parameter) Ignoring unknown parameter "valid user" | 23:50 |
| jordino | why is ignoring? | 23:50 |
| jmgb4 | Hey fellas. I am trying to remove the ubuntu version of Virtualbox. Yet again the fork is broken and doesnt pul whats needed. Suggestions on the best way to nuke it | 23:51 |
| xamithan | because "valid user" is not a parameter you can use | 23:53 |
| xamithan | I assume you meant to put "valid users = " | 23:53 |
| oerheks | use the -f option, sudo apt remove virtualbox -f | 23:53 |
| kevr | in 18.04 live server install | 23:54 |
| kevr | it says i can use a key from github, i selected github, entered my username | 23:54 |
| kevr | but nothing happened | 23:54 |
| jordino | xamithan: ok is fixed but it stills not letting me go into the share | 23:54 |
| oerheks | kevr, you might want to reask in #ubuntu-server, live server is fresh with 18.04 .. | 23:55 |
| xamithan | pastebin the config and the error message you get on smbclient. Then we'll be able to see what is wrong | 23:55 |
| oerheks | not sure it is usable with github | 23:55 |
| riotz | jordino, wait dont touch your keyboard pls.. i'm trying to mindcontrol your syslog now | 23:55 |
| jordino | but the problem is not on this computer | 23:56 |
| kevr | oerheks: github is an option | 23:56 |
| kevr | so it must. | 23:56 |
| jordino | riotz! | 23:56 |
| jordino | xamithan: | 23:56 |

| flotwig | having a bit of a weird bug | 23:58 |
| jordino | i guess... | 23:59 |
| riotz | jordino, stop posting random lines of this syslog | 23:59 |
| flotwig | whenever i get a permissions prompt, like when installing something from the Software Center, it now asks me for an "Administrator" password | 23:59 |
| flotwig | not my account password | 23:59 |
| flotwig | I'm assuming it means the root pw | 23:59 |
| riotz | paste it to the link mentioned before | 23:59 |
| flotwig | It changed I guess when I upgraded to 18.04. Now I can't do anything via the GUI | 23:59 |
| jordino | riotz: im just trying to give some info in order to get help... | 23:59 |
| flotwig | anyone run into this? | 23:59 |
