[00:00] <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.
[00:01] <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
[00:03] <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).
[00:04] <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.
[00:05] <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
[00:06] <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
[00:08] <tomreyn> Hashtag: steps 3 to 7 of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCdRecovery#Update_Failure
[00:09] <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
[00:10] <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
[00:11] <Hashtag> tomreyn: I used chroot and it tells me 'grub' is currently not installed. that's rather odd
[00:12] <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.
[00:13] <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
[00:14] <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)
[00:15] <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
[00:16] <Hashtag> It works! I've got grub back
[00:17] <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
[00:18] <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.
[00:19] <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
[00:20] <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
[00:21] <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
[00:22] <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
[00:23] <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
[00:24] <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?
[00:25] <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
[00:26] <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.
[00:27] <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
[00:28] <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
[00:29] <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"?
[00:30] <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
[00:31] <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?
[00:32] <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
[00:33] <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
[00:34] <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
[00:35] <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
[00:36] <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.
[00:37] <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
[00:38] <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
[00:52] <linux_noobian> test
[00:53] <linux_noobian> am i disconnected or did chat stop working?
[00:55] <Mead> your disconnected
[00:57] <linux_noobian> i thought this channel stayed really busy, guess not. disabling leaves/joins makes it seem sparse
[00:59] <Mead> this channel can be hopping at times, but it isn't like ##hardware or ##networking busy
[01:06] <fareast> can someone convince me to use ubuntu over debian?
[01:06] <tomreyn> fareast: yes, you, maybe.
[01:06] <fareast> I have reason to believe out of the box the hardware compatibility isn't there on my dell inspiron laptop
[01:07] <fareast> is that the truth and do I want to fool around with device drivers all day?
[01:07] <fareast> my battery won't even charge
[01:07] <fareast> so no acpi driver I suppose
[01:07] <tomreyn> fareast: i'd start with a firmware upgrade
[01:10] <tomreyn> fareast: there will be some dozen or hundreds of dell inspiron models with entirely different specifications. if you're looking for a relevant answer to this question you'll need to provide more (and more precise) details.
[01:10] <fareast> well I am on debian
[01:10] <tomreyn> meaning?
[01:10] <fareast> I am going to first check my bios if i am current
[01:11] <fareast> I had to enable non-free repo just to get the wifi working
[01:11] <fareast> so I suppose there would be more hardware issues along the way
[01:13] <david__> asd
[01:13] <david__> hola
[01:13] <david__> :b
[01:14] <tomreyn> fareast: debian is conservative when it comes to integrating proprietary code into the distribution. this should return your bios version: sudo dmidecode --type bios | grep -Ei '(BIOS Revision|Release Date)'

[01:15] <tomreyn> fareast: debian is conservative when it comes to integrating proprietary code into the distribution. this should return your bios version: sudo dmidecode --type bios | grep -Ei '(BIOS Revision|Release Date)'
[01:15] <linux_> o！ hello friends
[01:20] <tomreyn> fareast: please let's chat here, thanks.
[01:20] <fareast> tomreyn, ok
[01:20] <fareast> are we going all the way back?
[01:20] <tomreyn> fareast: back to what?
[01:20] <fareast> to the factory bios
[01:20] <nbajam> 2003
[01:21] <tomreyn> fareast: i'm not sure what you mean to ask or suggest about going back to the factory bios". i suggested upgrading the (mainboard, so BIOS) firmware to the latest available revision.
[01:22] <linux_> back？
[01:22] <tomreyn> fareast: i.e. i did not suggest a downgrade
[01:22] <fareast> ok new findings a05 is the latest
[01:22] <tomreyn> linux_: hi. do you have an ubuntu support question? since this is what this channel is about (only).
[01:22] <fareast> I am always up for updating bios
[01:22] <blue1> !screenshot | blue1
[01:22] <tomreyn> fareast: which model do you actually have there?
[01:22] <linux_> bios
[01:23] <fareast> some people argue against it but I update
[01:23] <fareast> n5050
[01:23] <fareast> i3
[01:24] <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> I am just being lazy here by not extracting and doing all the usb update crap
[01:25] <fareast> I formatted my flash for windows earlier cause I had to crack a password so I am going for it.
[01:25] <fareast> I am just looking for a well rounded linux install
[01:26] <fareast> I am like linus I suppose I don't want to mess around with code getting stuff to work. He uses fedora right cause it worked for him.
[01:26] <fareast> not that I can't do it but do I want to invest the time....
[01:29] <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.

[02:00] <sysfault> i just received a popup in unity saying "hard disk likely to fail soon".. i have been hearing the processing coming from this laptop. sounding like i can hear the read/writes to my hd
[02:00] <sysfault> is this message accurate by any chance?
[02:01] <nbajam> SSD time anyway :)
[02:01] <sysfault> this is a laptop
[02:01] <sysfault> and come on, this is a fairly new laptop
[02:01] <sysfault> the uptime on this system is a few weeks at most
[02:01] <sysfault> im currently dual booting with winblows
[02:02] <guiverc> sysfault, if you have gnome-disks loaded I'd read its SMART report; otherwise `smartctl`
[02:03] <sysfault> guiverc: is there a specific app i have to install?
[02:04] <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' ..
[02:05] <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)
[02:06] <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)
[02:07] <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?
[02:08] <guiverc> yep if sda is the suspect drive/device
[02:09] <sysfault> [02:09] <sysfault> SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: FAILED!
[02:09] <sysfault> Drive failure expected in less than 24 hours. SAVE ALL DATA.
[02:09] <sysfault> wow
[02:10] <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?
[02:11] <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?
[02:12] <sysfault> or a usb-thumb-drive of course3
[02:12] <sysfault> what size is your usb-thumb-drive guiverc?
[02:13] <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
[02:14] <guiverc> yep, livecd, usb-thumb can be used (mine is 8gb, but I store data to local [nfs] server & not locally)
[02:16] <sysfault> any recommendation for a good external ssd for a laptop?
[02:41] <gogoGadgetCopter> hi can anyone recommend a wiki that does code highlighting and maybe also markdown?
[03:10] <gnuyen> my package system is broken because it says diversion of /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libEGL.so.1 to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libEGL.so.1.distrib by nvidia-340

[03:37] <eaglgenes101> touchpad, singular, actually

[03:46] <RoadRunner_> Can't connect to internet. Can ping 8.8.8.8 but not "google.com", ie: seems like a DNS issue in config but can't figure it out. Network is available in the liveCD but not in the HD install while the settings for LAN connection are identical in both.
[03:48] <xar-> RoadRunner_: cat /etc/resolv.conf
[03:49] <guiverc> RoadRunner_, a quick fix is to add "nameserver 8.8.8.8"  to your /etc/resolv.conf

[03:57] <RoadRunner_> xar: file "cat" doesn't exist in /etc/resolv.conf
[03:58] <RoadRunner_> guiverc: please explain how adding "nameserver 8.8.8.8"  to /etc/resolv.conf would allow to connect to diff ip's
[04:00] <eaglgenes101> DNS associates domain names with urls
[04:01] <eaglgenes101> So, when you go asking for google.com, you implicitly query for the IP address that corresponds to google.com
[04:01] <eaglgenes101> In my case, it routed me to 216.58.192.238
[04:02] <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

[04:03] <ubuntu-mate> jhj
[04:05] <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
[04:06] <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)
[04:07] <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
[04:09] <michels> *how do i make the installer see the old 17.10 OS?
[04:11] <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
[04:12] <lotuspsychje> michels: and partitioning sees, nothing?
[04:13] <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?
[04:14] <lotuspsychje> michels: well encryption is always bity tricky, you got a backup of it?
[04:15] <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?
[04:16] <lotuspsychje> !lvm | michels
[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
[04:17] <michels> i dont use RAID or LVM.  i just manually created LUKS-ext4 partition
[04:17] <lotuspsychje> kk
[04:18] <michels> i lost data with LVM before, so i detest LVM forevermore  ;)
[04:19] <michels> this is the guide i used to install 17.10.  http://www.thesimplecomputer.info/full-disk-encryption-with-ubuntu
[04:21] <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
[04:22] <michels> or is there a link that explains how to "repair" 17.10?  i've tried boot-repair PPA, & timeshift backup.  but neither work
[04:23] <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...
[04:24] <RoadRunner_> guiverc: thank's for trying, do you know anyone here who knows this that I may want to track down?
[04:25] <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
[04:26] <plasmoduck> thanks
[04:26] <someone_> Hi
[04:27] <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)
[04:28] <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?
[04:29] <usixjad> so.. is there an easy fix for a missing icon in the unity launcher dash thing in 16.04?
[04:35] <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)
[04:36] <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
[04:37] <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?
[04:38] <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.
[04:40] <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.
[04:41] <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)"
[04:43] <diehardfox> use /dev/sda1 --- boot partition as always smaller
[04:45] <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 :(
[04:46] <someone_> Is it possible to get a list of the packages that I installed them on Ubuntu only without default packages?
[04:47] <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
[04:54] <diehardfox> It is ok to use /dev/sda, but if it does not have much memory
[04:55] <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
[04:56] <someone_> _systemd_is_evil No it is not evil.
[04:58] <tony_> sad
[05:00] <syborg> So I need to replace pulseaudio with alsa on my xubuntu 18.04.... anyone know of a good guide for this?
[05:01] <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
[05:02] <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
[05:03] <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
[05:04] <syborg> builtin speakers work at least
[05:05] <syborg> lotuspsychje, here is the output https://pastebin.com/PU1DWTzB
[05:06] <lotuspsychje> syborg: yeah bot looks loaded
[05:11] <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?
[05:14] <syborg> well I just edited a config file, time to restart and find out
[05:28] <fareast> is there anything I need to do to make remix out of budgie 18 besides install docky?
[05:28] <fareast> and whatever other widgets I want to run?
[05:28] <lotuspsychje> fareast: remix?
[05:29] <fareast> yeah theres a budgie remix 16
[05:29] <fareast> on ubuntu side
[05:29] <fareast> site
[05:29] <fareast> and theres minimal budgie 18
[05:29] <fareast> or does docky come preinstalled on 18 i just did minimal so it didn't load it
[05:31] <fareast> also I installed these applets why aren't they showing up?
[05:31] <fareast> does it require a restart first?
[05:32] <fareast> you guys know what I am talking about right ubuntu budgie
[05:32] <lclhstr> hey folks. anyone with some gamedev/graphics experience that could give some tips? I'm trying to "properly" set up a dev env for opengl with glew/glfw and it is a bit convoluted (granted, I'm a noob :D)

[06:43] <rektdeckard> surya, before you type your password in plaintext make sure you know what you're doing :p
[06:43] <michels> lol
[06:44] <surya> i am exploring IRC. sry for that :-P
[06:45] <rektdeckard> no worries, i'm betting a lot of us are new to it..
[06:45] <surya> pls help in that tektdeckard
[06:45] <surya> rektdeckard
[06:46] <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)
[06:47] <rektdeckard> surya, type /help to get some basics
[06:47] <rektdeckard> ok, bye then
[06:48] <SysGhost> rangergord: I guess the best thing to do is firing a new vm up and take it for a spin. =)
[06:49] <rangergord> SysGhost: I can't, I'm on slow public wifi
[06:49] <rangergord> I don't have Internet at home
[06:50] <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 :)
[06:51] <SysGhost> ah... well even if it's slow, at least it should be done within a reasonable time.
[06:52] <rangergord> hopefully. I think I'm getting 100KB/s
[06:53] <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] <cqr40> ls
[06:53] <cqr40> cd
[06:53] <cqr40> sdf
[06:55] <michels> i still don't have WiFi working on my laptop.  any other ideas besides this?  https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/internet
[06:57] <michels> i have card:  "intel wireless 7265"
[06:58] <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
[06:59] <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 ?
[07:00] <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
[07:01] <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
[07:02] <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?
[07:03] <hateball> michels: so 4.15 does not boot at all?
[07:03] <michels> no. neither does  4.13.0-3{8,9}
[07:04] <michels> well, 4.15 does work for the LiveUSB
[07:04] <michels> so that is a good sign  :)
[07:06] <michels> btw.  i am using BIOS(not EFI). LUKS (not LVM)
[07:08] <michels> sorry, what does CTCP Ping mean?
[07:09] <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.
[07:11] <michels> ok, i tried booting into 4.15 recovery mode.  (my guess is that it's can't find the LUKS partition. cuz it doesnt ask for my password)
[07:11] <michels> "gave up waiting for root file system device. common problems:
[07:13] <surya_> /
[07:13] <surya_> /c
[07:13] <surya_> //c
[07:13] <michels> -boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)  - check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough)  -  missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)   ALERT! UUID=blahablahabla does not exist dropping to a shell!
[07:13] <michels> that is what the errors are on boot to 4.15 ^^^^

[07:20] <Azjo> how do i open a m2ts video file which is recorded by a sony device?
[07:24] <surya_> hi
[07:25] <rangergord> Azjo: I'd give VLC a try, though I can't promise you it will work
[07:25] <Azjo> i tried that already
[07:26] <spikebike> try mplayer if you haven't
[07:26] <spikebike> is it encrypted?
[07:28] <Azjo> spikebike: i believe so yeah
[07:28] <jink> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.m2ts
[07:29] <Azjo> theres no way to decrypt this?
[07:31] <jink> Azjo: Of course there's a way, but maybe not on Ubuntu.  There's some context and pointers in the link I posted.
[07:33] <Azjo> i tried tsmuxer but it cannot recognize it as a video file

[07:41] <surya> How to enable expand_escapes on ?
[07:42] <vlt> karsten77: You could try to edit /etc/apt/sources.list* (assuming you have backups, of course).

[07:55] <paddy>  https://pastebin.com/81wVS4RZ this is my mimeapp.list file and my Skype still opens links in calibre ebook editor. I uninstalled calibre and now it opens them in chromium even though firefox is the default.
[07:55] <paddy> how do I get it to open in firefox?
[07:58] <Miguel2013> paddy, change default app
[07:58] <Miguel2013> are u on windows 10
[07:58] <Miguel2013> then I don't know
[07:59] <paddy> no, ubuntu, I have changed the default app to firefox, I have changed the file association to firefox too. the mimeapp list shows that firefox is the default yet it'll still use chromium
[08:12] <brainwash> paddy: I would check "sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser"
[08:14] <sondre> Hi guys! I'm using Nvidia-driver-390 (open source), but when I write "nvidia-settings" it says ERROR: NVIDIA driver is not loaded. What is the issue?
[08:14] <sondre> I'm on 18.04, fresh install
[08:15] <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.
[08:16] <paddy> brainwash: thanks that seemed to work. I won't hold my breath
[08:16] <paddy> thank you very much though
[08:16] <brainwash> :)
[08:16] <sondre> oh, but why does it say "(open source)" in additional drivers in software & updates? blackflow brainwash
[08:17] <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
[08:18] <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
[08:19] <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
[08:20] <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?
[08:21] <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
[08:22] <blackflow> sondre: what does `glxinfo | grep renderer`  say?
[08:23] <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
[08:25] <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..

[08:30] <blackflow> sondre: well, is another package installation/managemend process running?
[08:30] <PorkChopExpress> paddy: I found a few issues with the version from the store. however this was not an issue if you install it from the .deb
[08:31] <blackflow> Rumbles: sensible names? you want names like eth0 ?
[08:31] <paddy> PorkChopExpress: will do, thanks!
[08:31] <Rumbles> I have named them eth0, 1, 2, 3 and etx0 and 1 for my 10GBE
[08:32] <Rumbles> ip a shows those names
[08:32] <blackflow> Rumbles: I'm sorry, I don't understand your problem then.
[08:32] <Rumbles> but ifup eth0 returns "Unknown interface eth0"
[08:33] <sondre> blackflow: I see.. Yes, I think phpmyadmin process is still running
[08:33] <blackflow> sondre: deal with that magento mysql user being invalid.
[08:34] <Rumbles> the issue blackflow is that ubuntu shows the names I configured, but it doesn't let me bring them up....
[08:34] <blackflow> sondre: but uh... why would magento user need to access phpmyadmin database? something is seriously broken there...
[08:35] <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 :)
[08:36] <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?
[08:37] <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
[08:40] <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] <drop_> madam-adam is a girl boy
[08:41] <ice9> what's the name of that gui application that show the disk usage?
[08:41] <drop_> du
[08:41] <drop_> du -h
[08:41] <EriC^^> ice9: baobab
[08:41] <sondre> blackflow: Something is really strange now.. I ran dpkg --configure -a, then phpmyadmin setup started again. I leave both password blank (so it autogenerates), but I get "password mismatch"
[08:41] <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?
[08:42] <drop_> gparted*
[08:42] <drop_> gparted has a gui ice9
[08:42] <blackflow> Shirakawasuna: ye
[08:42] <Shirakawasuna> blackflow, cool I'll reboot and cross my fingers
[08:43] <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] <Shirakawasuna> cool
[08:43] <drop_> anyone on xubuntu?
[08:44] <Shirakawasuna> I used it a few years ago if there's any chance that's useful, drop_

[08:45] <nlytnd1> eddy are you ready
[08:45] <drop_> its mur
[08:45] <aLeSD_> is it possible some software unistalled automaticcaly last night ?
[08:45] <aLeSD_> I just found out Visual Studio Code and Slack unistalled themself
[08:45] <Shirakawasuna> last I knew, nvidia didn't play nice with standards and things like dual-screen required manually messing with nvidia-land tools
[08:46] <eddyready> does anyone know how to fix screen tearing on a dell laptop running intel gpu on 18.04?
[08:46] <Shirakawasuna> I remember using arandr...
[08:46] <blackflow> aLeSD_: check /var/log/dpkg.log and /var/log/apt/history.log. Unless those were snaps/flatpaks?
[08:46] <drop_> @porkchop 18.04 came out last month 18 year 04 month
[08:47] <aLeSD_> blackflow, what is snaps/flatpaks ?
[08:47] <drop_> @eddyreadt intel woking here
[08:48] <PorkChopExpress> drop_: its an nvidia issue
[08:48] <Shirakawasuna> oh nice, the logical volume is magically there after reboot blackflow, thanks for the tip
[08:48] <Shirakawasuna> I was slightly dreading running commands to re-setup lvm stuff
[08:48] <eddyready> drop_: intel HD 620?
[08:48] <eddyready> drop_: works out of the box?
[08:48] <drop_> i had it working with 17.10 I''ll ask  in the forums
[08:48] <drop_> thanks
[08:49] <PorkChopExpress> eaddyready: what desktop environment are you using?

[08:52] <sondre> blackflow: Back now with reboot, what's the best way to uninstall phpmyadmin?
[08:53] <aLeSD_> mmm
[08:53] <aLeSD_> ok
[08:53] <blackflow> sondre: apt remove?
[08:53] <sondre> I also noticed that with nouveau driver selected, it tends to get purple screen after login, so I have to reboot and go into recovery mode for it to work
[08:53] <PorkChopExpress> eddyready: have you tried adding the 20-intel.conf file to xorg.conf.d?
[08:53] <aLeSD_> do now we have 2 package manager
[08:53] <drop_> what did linus say about Nvidia?

[08:54] <eddyready> PorkChopExpress: where can i get that file?

[09:00] <sondre> Well, tried to remove phpmyadmin, but when I ran the first command I got into phpmyadmin setup again.. blackflow

[09:02] <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?
[09:03] <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] <drop_> i got thay message trying to get a steam app to run in wine
[09:03] <drop_> try a wine 32
[09:04] <drop_> oh
[09:05] <drop_> @blackflow just install mesa like it says if you can
[09:05] <sondre> blackflow: Not that I can see, but as I mentioned earlier when I ran 'sudo apt install mesa-utils' it started installation process, then suddenly switched to phpmyadmin setup.
[09:05] <sondre> No idea what I can do..
[09:05] <blackflow> sondre: yes, but do you have that process running actively? Can you ctrl-c it?
[09:05] <drop_> trying to play steam?
[09:05] <blackflow> sondre: if not, you'll have to kill those pids, starting with the top one, 2712
[09:06] <drop_> make a wine32
[09:06] <sondre> blackflow: No, nothing is running in terminal right now
[09:06] <blackflow> drop_: cut the noise.
[09:06] <sondre> blackflow: Just sudo kill 'process number'?
[09:06] <blackflow> sondre: with all dpkg processes gone, try     apt remove phpmyadmin
[09:06] <blackflow> sondre: yah
[09:07] <blackflow> sondre: if it doesn't go away, add -9 to kill:   sudo kill -9 2712
[09:07] <eddyready> That appears to have fixed my tearing issue!
[09:08] <sondre> blackflow: Did kill 2712, what there anything else I had to kill?
[09:09] <blackflow> sondre: check with that ps line again. chances are that child processes are gone too
[09:09] <sondre> blackflow: This is output now -> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/RrjSGcdQbT/
[09:09] <blackflow> sondre: oh yeah, they're gone. now try apt remove phpmyadmin
[09:10] <sondre> blackflow: I think it actually worked!
[09:11] <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).
[09:12] <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
[09:13] <sondre> blackflow: Yes, I'll try this after I've dealt with nouvaue thing.. Need to fix this so I can get my external monitors working!
[09:13] <blackflow> sondre: (and I'm talking about dedicated mysql user account, not system :)  )
[09:13] <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
[09:14] <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
[09:15] <blackflow> sondre: that looks like you're not using the proprietary driver.
[09:16] <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
[09:17] <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.
[09:18] <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] <sondre> blackflow: See image of additional drivers in software & updates: https://imgur.com/a/BfARfTz
[09:19] <sondre> blackflow: Output of ubuntu-drivers devices here -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/4fvZh6yJRB/
[09:19] <sliddis> https://imgur.com/a/GtKGWfE what font am I missing? i am running the wavemon app
[09:20] <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?
[09:21] <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.
[09:22] <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...
[09:23] <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
[09:24] <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/
[09:25] <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
[09:26] <blackflow> sondre: does     sudo dmesg | head     show times starting at  [0.00000]   or something like that?
[09:26] <blackflow>   [    0.000000]
[09:27] <sondre> blackflow: Yes, output -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/GJVQnHf3c6/
[09:28] <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
[09:29] <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?
[09:30] <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
[09:31] <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
[09:36] <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?
[09:41] <blackflow> sondre: I don't know. you can try   apt remove nvidia-driver-390   to be sure it's uninstalled.
[09:42] <sondre> blackflow: It just tells me: Package 'nvidia-driver-390' is not installed, so not removed
[09:43] <blackflow> but your previous output of dpkg shows it installed....
[09:45] <blackflow> sondre: dpkg --get-selections | grep nvidia     shows anything installed?
[09:45] <sondre> blackflow: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/bcSxMmPCcv/
[09:45] <enissay> Is there a way to find on SFTP files containing "SomeText" and which were created between 1/5 and 2/5 ?
[09:45] <sondre> blackflow: Yes, but I changed it to nouveau last reboot
[09:45] <sondre> blackflow: As I need to use nouveau or an open source graphic driver for it to work properly with displaylink and d6000 dock
[09:45] <EriC^^> enissay: can you ssh into the server instead?
[09:46] <blackflow> sondre: nouveau IS the "open source nvidia driver"
[09:47] <Miguel2013> hey
[09:48] <sondre> blackflow: Yes, I get that, but I can't seem to use it :-( I have chosen that driver, but when I reboot it this is what I see -> https://imgur.com/a/ngWx1tG

[09:50] <blackflow> sondre: I don't know why it says that. Have you installed anything manually, outside of the packages? Thing is,  if you don't install the nvidia proprietary driver  (nvidia-driver-390 it seems on bionic), then it's using nouveau, which is part of the kernel.

[09:57] <blackflow> sondre: no nouveau on that list.
[09:57] <blackflow> sondre: yes, iirc nvidia-settings requires the proprietary driver.
[09:58] <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
[09:59] <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/
[10:00] <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
[10:01] <blackflow> sondre: ah.... EFI boot, right?
[10:01] <sondre> blackflow: Well, so mission impossible? It's a Dell precision 5510 laptop
[10:02] <sondre> blackflow: I reinstalled yesterday, is there anything I've done wrong?
[10:03] <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?

[10:04] <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.
[10:06] <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

[10:16] <blackflow> sondre: hrm, I thought the installation would provide both ways
[10:18] <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?
[10:20] <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.
[10:21] <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/
[10:22] <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
[10:23] <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
[10:24] <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
[10:25] <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
[10:26] <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 :)
[10:27] <blackflow> not grub menu, but the installer/liveCD environment menu
[10:27] <EriC^^> i've never seen that, though i've heard of it in ubuntu as well
[10:27] <EriC^^> aha
[10:27] <nishikant> how to fix the error When i am trying to install ubuntu 18.04 alongside windows 10 in uefi mode after clicking uefi USB stick it gives the error ..... Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions.Anywhere else TAB lists possible device or file completions.  grub>
[10:28] <EriC^^> nishikant: try typing "configfile /boot/grub/grub.cfg"
[10:29] <nishikant> anything else please give complete details <Eric^^>
[10:29] <EriC^^> nishikant: that's about it
[10:29] <EriC^^> maybe try "normal" first
[10:30] <EriC^^> or "insmod normal" first if it complains about that
[10:30] <doulos05> Hello, I'm having a problem getting my xenial computer to boot up
[10:31] <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?
[10:32] <EriC^^> do you have an hdmi monitor attached?
[10:33] <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
[10:34] <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] <doulos05> md5sum /math/to/iso
[10:34] <EriC^^> !md5sum | nishikant
[10:35] <EriC^^> doulos05: what happens if you let it boot
[10:36] <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
[10:37] <doulos05> I'll try now with quiet splash. What's the specific command for that?
[10:37] <doulos05> in grub2
[10:38] <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
[10:39] <doulos05> kk
[10:40] <doulos05> booting now with verbose
[10:41] <doulos05> brb, dinner time. I'll update with any error messages from the booting in 20 min.
[10:46] <sondre> blackflow EriC^^ Back now, booted in legacy mode now
[10:53] <sondre> blackflow EriC^^ Output of "lsmod | grep nouveau" -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/ZM5w9gYgf5/
[10:53] <sondre> Is this correct?
[10:54] <EriC^^> sondre: you're in the ubuntu installer?
[10:55] <sondre> EriC^^: Heh.. I created a small partition and installed ubuntu in legacy mode.
[10:58] <EriC^^> sondre: way to go
[10:59] <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
[10:59] <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.  And in admin panel "Network" configuration dialog, there is no settings for "Wired Connections".  It appear as the
[10:59] <SSMAdmin> computer has no network cards at all, only the VPN and Proxy settings are visible. Any help?
[11:02] <Rumen> Hi there! in Bionic I don't see the skype icon in the top bar. Any idea how to fix that? Reinstalled couple of times with different versions, but without any success ...
[11:04] <MonkeyDust> SSMAdmin  next time, use a pastebin for multiple lines
[11:04] <SSMAdmin> @MonkeyDust, ok thank you, I will
[11:05] <BluesKaj> Howdy all
[11:25] <sondre> blackflow EriC^^ Finally got it to work in legacy mode in my new partition that I created! That's great, but is it possible to remove the EFI partition now in a good way?
[11:27] <EriC^^> sondre: what's the partition table look like, pastebin sudo parted -ls
[11:28] <sondre> EriC^^: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/MDH4dDh6jy/
[11:28] <EriC^^> sondre: i'd say just leave it
[11:29] <Guest60810> any girl
[11:29] <sondre> EriC^^: So just format partition 2 and I'm good to go?
[11:29] <MonkeyDust> Guest60810  wrong channel
[11:29] <EriC^^> sondre: you havent installed ubuntu yet?
[11:30] <EriC^^> sondre: you're going to reinstall now?
[11:30] <sondre> EriC^^: Yes, now I currently have 2 ubuntu.. One on uefi and one with legacy
[11:31] <EriC^^> sondre: oh
[11:31] <EriC^^> choose to erase the whole disk and let ubuntu do it's thing
[11:31] <Guest60810> how to resolve this problem"E: Unable to locate package perl-suid

[11:32] <EriC^^> !info perl-suid
[11:32] <sondre> EriC^^: Yes, everything works good now! I got displaylink driver and D6000 dell dock working with 3 external monitors.
[11:33] <EriC^^> great!

[11:37] <Guest60810> ok
[11:37] <sondre> EriC^^: So just to be clear, delete the partition 2 (394 GB Ext4) or format it? https://i.imgur.com/YBC6xz1.png
[11:37] <Anticom> Hi all. I'm on xenial. Is there a ppa available for slack chat? I only was able to find the direct .deb download but i'm not a big fan of that
[11:38] <EriC^^> sondre: boot the installer in legacy mode again and choose the 'erase the disk and install ubuntu' option
[11:38] <Jamy> Hi, does -O somehow overwrite -P for wget or something? If I add -O it does not download to the folder specified in -P anymore
[11:39] <sondre> EriC^^: Ah ok, thanks again chief!
[11:40] <Jamy> wget -O filename -P path/ -t 10 -T 10 hurl
[11:40] <Jamy> is what i am doing
[11:40] <sliddis> https://imgur.com/a/GtKGWfE what font am I missing? i am running the wavemon app
[11:40] <doulos05> @EriC^^ So booting it in verbose mode revealed a different error message.
[11:41] <EriC^^> doulos05: aha
[11:41] <doulos05> One of the GUI tools I used to set up the computer had set the windows partition to auto-mount
[11:41] <doulos05> I just deleted the line in /etc/fstab and it booted normally
[11:41] <doulos05> thanks for the help!
[11:41] <EriC^^> doulos05: aha, great, no problem
[11:46] <Guest60810> how to create mailserver in ubuntu
[11:47] <tomreyn> Anticom: not really supported here. but: they seem to offer both a .deb (which, once installed, also installs an apt repository and signing key) and a flatpak (which should also have an update/upgrade path).
[11:48] <sky887> Know thyself
[11:48] <sky887> :-)
[11:49] <tomreyn> Guest60810: installing and, moreover, properly configuraring and finally maintaining a mail server is not an easy task, not suitable in case you're new to ubuntu.
[11:50] <sky887> In new
[11:50] <sky887> I'm new
[11:50] <tomreyn> sky887: hi, do you have an ubuntu support question?
[11:51] <sky887> Nope. I'm just trying to figure this out. Everything for that matter
[11:51] <sky887> Things*
[11:52] <tomreyn> sky887: okay, this channel is just for support but there is #ubuntu-offtopic for chatting if you like.
[11:52] <sky887> Ok:-)
[11:52] <MonkeyDust> sky887  then follow some conversations here and learn from them
[11:53] <sky887> Yup I'm on it
[11:53] <ember_> Anyone struggling with horrible graphics performance on 18.04?
[11:53] <sky887> Nope
[11:53] <Anticom> tomreyn: omg i hate this crap. Why don't they just give me the repo url directly. Skype was doing the same BS
[11:53] <MonkeyDust> ember_  that's a yes/no question, what brings you here
[11:53] <tomreyn> !details | ember_
[11:54] <Anticom> Guess it's because they're windows/osx centric companies
[11:54] <ember_> Sorry about being vague! https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxquestions/comments/8gylez/updated_from_ubuntu_1710_to_1804_and_getting/
[11:54] <ember_> I can move to pastebin if preferred
[11:54] <tomreyn> Anticom: i would not know (but it's also not topical here)
[11:54] <Anticom> Sorry for the strong language but it really bugs me
[11:55] <Anticom> Thanks anyway tomreyn o/
[11:55] <leftyfb> Anticom: sudo snap install slack
[11:56] <Anticom> i don't like snaps either. They where giving me headaches before, don't wanna go through this again
[11:56] <Miguel2013> I have a wag511 I can't install on xubuntu any hand? https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/netgear-wag511-pcmcia-card-fails-to-load-on-linux.243733/
[11:57] <tomreyn> ember_: consider using a more light.weight desktop, such as xubuntu, mate or the like.
[11:57] <leftyfb> Anticom: If you had problems with snap, you did it wrong. Or you installed some critical system piece that conflicted or something. There's nothing wrong with installing apps via snap. It's going to be the cleanest and easiest way to get slack installed.
[11:58] <Anticom> leftyfb: or the software provided was outdated
[11:58] <Anticom> leftyfb: talking about minikube
[11:58] <ember_> tomreyn: I appreciate the effort, but this PC can handle PlanetSide 2 on ultra :) It's not a hardware-capability issue.
[11:58] <tomreyn> ember_: does 3d acceleration work actually?
[11:58] <Anticom> back when i installed it via snap (which was the recommended way for ubuntu btw) it was really old and had bugs in it that made it unusable
[11:58] <Anticom> and those bugs where fixed a long time ago even back then
[11:58] <ember_> tomreyn: How do I check that?
[11:58] <leftyfb> Anticom: that has nothing to do with snap being a problem
[11:59] <uwe> Hi, I think I found a bug. Where can I report a bug WITHOUT creating a account?
[11:59] <leftyfb> Anticom: if you don't want to install slack with snap, then don't. Good luck.
[11:59] <MonkeyDust> !bug
[11:59] <leftyfb> Anticom: I've been using the snap package for slack for over a year now
[11:59] <Anticom> leftyfb: well it kind of is IMO. Cannonical wanted to do its own thing again like they did back with upstart for example. Why can't they just stick to the community accepted standards?
[11:59] <uwe> Wrong aswer. There I need an account.
[11:59] <tomreyn> ember_: glxinfo -B | grep Accelerated
[11:59] <Miguel2013> leftyfb, what's slack slackware?
[12:00] <tomreyn> ember_: glxinfo -B | grep rendering
[12:00] <MonkeyDust> uwe  then post it on some public forum and hope someone picls it up
[12:00] <leftyfb> Anticom: I think you miss the point of snaps
[12:00] <MonkeyDust> picks*
[12:00] <longword> Slack is like IRC but with pictures.
[12:00] <leftyfb> Anticom: but whatever. Good luck
[12:00] <ember_> tomreyn: accelerated: no; direct rendering: yes
[12:01] <tomreyn> ember_: then let's look at the whole output: glxinfo -B | pastebinit
[12:02] <ember_> tomreyn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Mqqpbxd7ZT/
[12:02] <Anticom> leftyfb: well it's just their own way of doing docker from how i understand snapd
[12:02] <uwe> MonkeyDust: Any suggestions? All I know I must have an account. But I really hate to create new accounts only to post a bug. (I use several distros)
[12:02] <ember_> tomreyn: Wait, VMware? What the hell...
[12:02] <tomreyn> ember_: also: pastebinit /var/log/gpu-manager.log
[12:03] <ember_> tomreyn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Xvg6HJkXXn/
[12:03] <leftyfb> Anticom: you should read and understand more about snaps then. Since that is incorrect
[12:03] <leftyfb> Or don't
[12:04] <tomreyn> ember_: was this file last written/updated after the 18.04 upgrade? ls -l /var/log/gpu-manager.log
[12:04] <enissay> EriC^^: SSH worked... Thanks for the hint <3
[12:05] <MonkeyDust> uwe  as far as i know, there's no such thing as an accountless forum
[12:05] <ember_> tomreyn: 1h 20m ago... that's about when I did the upgrade, I would say probably after but can't be sure
[12:06] <tomreyn> ember_: the "uptime" command tells you when you last booted the system
[12:06] <MonkeyDust> uwe  first try resolving the problem here
[12:06] <uwe> MonkeyDust, why? I like to help but i cant understand why I should for every tiny think create an new account. I really hate this!
[12:06] <tomreyn> ember_: please show also: lspci -knn | grep -A 4 VGA | pastebinit
[12:07] <MonkeyDust> uwe  you're going offtopic, type /j #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:07] <ember_> tomreyn: looks like it was changed at last reboot
[12:08] <ember_> tomreyn: I rebooted once after the upgrade reboot though
[12:08] <ember_> tomreyn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/kTDW3cxMzz/
[12:08] <tomreyn> ember_: okay, we may also need to look at "pastebinit /var/log/syslog" then
[12:08] <tomreyn> ember_: and finally: dmesg -T | pastebinit
[12:09] <ember_> tomreyn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/bjPwvDfJM4/ http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/2zbc6tS9X7/
[12:10] <dxter_> ubuntu
[12:12] <tomreyn> ember_: okay, reviewing those will take a few minutes
[12:12] <ember_> tomreyn: thank you so much for your time, I really appreciate it :)
[12:12] <tomreyn> :) welcome, hope i can help
[12:15] <tomreyn> ember_: how did you upgrade from 17.10?
[12:16] <ember_> tomreyn: the standard prompt of "your (something) is up to date, however, there is a new version of your OS (18.04)"
[12:17] <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?
[12:18] <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
[12:19] <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
[12:22] <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?
[12:23] <tomreyn> ember_: i finished reviewing the syslog, need yet to look at dmesg, will ping you when done.
[12:23] <rdz> this is th ebug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qjackctl/+bug/1546328
[12:23] <hid> hey
[12:23] <ember_> tomreyn: awesome, thanks very much :)
[12:23] <rdz> hm.. it says fix released.. but in bionic it is still broken
[12:24] <hid> i had a problem with bumblebee to manage optimus video card,, now that i installed the nvidia driver only, the temperature is still higher from what i expect (70 to 75°C instead of 49°C)
[12:26] <Kon-> hid: Idle, or under load?
[12:26] <hid> Kon-: idle
[12:27] <hid> when i was on ubuntu 16.04lts i had 49°C, same on windows when i bought the pc so that's my idle reference
[12:28] <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.
[12:29] <ember_> tomreyn: I'll make sure to do that :)
[12:31] <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.
[12:32] <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'  ?
[12:34] <ember_> ioria: gnome-shell is at 95% O.o
[12:34] <ioria> good :þ
[12:34] <ioria> ember_,  and free -m ?
[12:34] <ember_> Mem:           7932        3407        2461         122        2064        4909
[12:34] <ember_> Swap:          7811           0        7811
[12:35] <ioria> high
[12:35] <ember_> I guess? two browsers open
[12:35] <ioria> ember_,  journalctl -b | grep ureadahead | grep relative | wc -l
[12:35] <ember_> returns 0
[12:36] <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' ?
[12:37] <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 :)
[12:38] <ioria> ember_,  you can select if from the login screen
[12:39] <ember_> ioria: ok, brb
[12:41] <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
[12:42] <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'
[12:43] <tomreyn> no, not supported by the driver, i think. it's virtualbox.
[12:43] <ioria> i see
[12:44] <tomreyn> the "Ubuntu" choice starts the default desktop (Gnome 3 shell with ubuntu modifications)
[12:45] <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
[12:46] <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
[12:47] <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?
[12:48] <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
[12:49] <ioria> ember_, echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
[12:49] <ember_> wayland
[12:49] <ioria> ember_,  still sluggish ?
[12:50] <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
[12:51] <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] <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.
[12:52] <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?
[12:53] <ioria> ember_,  maybe ... or the effect of some bugs , like this : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ureadahead/+bug/1579580#3
[12:54] <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
[12:55] <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
[12:56] <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?
[12:57] <ioria> ember_,   i'd check also the size of your logs folder ...  (/var/log)
[12:58] <ember_> ioria: assuming these are bytes, the biggest file is syslog at 5mb
[12:59] <ioria> ember_,   du -sh /var/log
[12:59] <SSMAdmin> Hi all.  Ubuntu 18.04 server (ubuntu-desktop installed) with working wired internet connection, refuses to activate screen sharing, says no network connection available, even though the internet connection is there and working: https://pastbin.smartskandalen.info/hugadufuxo.http
[12:59] <ember_> ioria: oh wow, 203mb
[12:59] <ioria> ember_,    not huge but big
[13:02] <ioria> afk
[13:04] <SSMAdmin> This maybe easier to read: https://pastbin.smartskandalen.info/raw/hugadufuxo
[13:07] <tomreyn> SSMAdmin: have you installed extra software for screen shoaring to be offered? since i dont have this option
[13:12] <tomreyn> SSMAdmin: okay i got this option now, as provided by "vino"
[13:15] <tomreyn> SSMAdmin:what does "nmcli c" show?
[13:16] <aLeSD_> really guys
[13:16] <aLeSD_> problem : spanish keyboard ... the key < is shown as \
[13:17] <MonkeyDust> aLeSD_  looks like it's alt-gr related
[13:18] <SSMAdmin> @tomrayn No I have not installed extra software for screensharing. 'nmcli c' shows only this: NAME  UUID  TYPE  DEVICE and nothing more
[13:18] <SSMAdmin> That was to @tomreyn
[13:19] <aLeSD_> MonkeyDust, what do you mean _
[13:19] <MonkeyDust> aLeSD_  do you see the alt-gr key on your keyboard
[13:19] <aLeSD_> yes
[13:20] <aLeSD_> it ir right in fron of me
[13:20] <aLeSD_> → æµ ¢¶→ĸĸ→nŋ →ŧ
[13:20] <darkdrgn2k> hi all
[13:20] <MonkeyDust> aLeSD_  normally you get \ when alt-gr is pressed, with the < key
[13:20] <darkdrgn2k> im trying to SNAT but im getting "unknown option "SNAT"
[13:20] <darkdrgn2k> "
[13:21] <longword> -t nat and -j SNAT
[13:21] <MonkeyDust> aLeSD_  make sure the al-gr key is not stuck
[13:21] <SSMAdmin> @tomreyn No I have not installed extra software for screensharing. 'nmcli c' shows only this: NAME  UUID  TYPE  DEVICE and nothing more (sorry for double posting, had to get his nick correct so he can find the answer from me)
[13:21] <longword> If it's iptables commands you're trying to put together that is
[13:21] <darkdrgn2k> "iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.50.11/32 -j SNAT -–to-source 10.8.0.6
[13:21] <darkdrgn2k> "
[13:21] <darkdrgn2k> complains about SNAT
[13:22] <longword> "unknown option" sounds very wrong, are you sure that's the command line you're running?
[13:22] <darkdrgn2k> copied and pasted from the terminal
[13:22] <darkdrgn2k> sounds like there is a module not installed or something ?!?!?!!?
[13:22] <longword> Can you try typing in the command by hand in case there are some sneaky webish UTF-8 chars in there?
[13:23] <longword> It should say unknown target if your -j option is well out of order
[13:23] <darkdrgn2k> 437&#%$*$@$&%*#&#&
[13:23] <darkdrgn2k> -–   <- one is a - one isnt!!!
[13:23]  * darkdrgn2k hugs longword :P
[13:23] <longword> I came across a doozie of a one last week
[13:23] <longword> Turns out there's a UTF-8 multibyte character for &nbsp;
[13:24] <longword> Many expletives were unleashed that day
[13:24] <SSMAdmin> tomreyn, you there?
[13:24] <plasm0duck> how do I tell what version name of ubuntu im using?
[13:25] <Miguel2013> I have a wag511 I can't install on xubuntu any hand? https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/netgear-wag511-pcmcia-card-fails-to-load-on-linux.243733/
[13:25] <plasm0duck> 4.13.0-39-generic #44~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Apr 5 16:43:10 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[13:26] <tomreyn> SSMAdmin: you there?
[13:26] <Exterminador> plasm0duck: you can try: lsb_release -a
[13:26] <MonkeyDust> Miguel2013  what'w wag511
[13:26] <SSMAdmin> tomreyn, No I have not installed extra software for screensharing. 'nmcli c' shows only this: NAME  UUID  TYPE  DEVICE and nothing more
[13:26] <darkdrgn2k> ok this should do a SNAT+DNAT fro port 8088 right?
[13:27] <darkdrgn2k> iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth0 --dport 8088 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.50.11:8088
[13:27] <darkdrgn2k> iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -d 192.168.50.11/32 -j SNAT --to-source 10.8.0.6
[13:27] <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)
[13:28] <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.
[13:29] <SSMAdmin> And as I may remember, it did work right after installation (network systray icon showed up), but after a while, it dissappeared
[13:30] <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
[13:31] <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'
[13:32] <MonkeyDust> Miguel2013  better start from the beginning, give more details
[13:32] <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
[13:33] <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.
[13:34] <SSMAdmin> tomreyn, is there a guide somewhere.  Guess I must know a bit more information than nmcli help can provide, in order for me to be able to use it.  I have only very basic command line knowledge, not a tech guy
[13:35] <SSMAdmin> tomreyn, yes, that seems correct
[13:35] <tomreyn> SSMAdmin: okay, let's see if we can work it out together. do you have "pastebinit" installed? pastebinit -v
[13:35] <john_rambo> My smplayer now looks like this >>> https://postimg.cc/image/okh12t0vh/...How do I bring back the controls ?
[13:36] <SSMAdmin> tomreyn, no pastbinit installed
[13:36] <SSMAdmin> apt install pastbinit?
[13:36] <tomreyn> SSMAdmin: "pastebinit" note the 'e'
[13:37] <tomreyn> SSMAdmin: install it if missing, yes
[13:37] <SSMAdmin> yes, v 1.5
[13:37] <MonkeyDust> john_rambo  what's in View
[13:37] <SSMAdmin> installed
[13:38] <chuun> is it possible to upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04? if yes, is there anything i should have in mind?
[13:38] <john_rambo> MonkeyDust, Nothing related
[13:38] <SSMAdmin> tomreyn, installed
[13:38] <tomreyn> SSMAdmin: then: nmcli -p g | pastebinit; mcli -p n | pastebinit; mcli -p r | pastebinit; mcli -p c | pastebinit; mcli -p d | pastebinit;
[13:38] <tomreyn> SSMAdmin remove the trailing ";"
[13:38] <tomreyn> SSMAdmin: sorry, more typos, let me retype
[13:39] <tomreyn> SSMAdmin: then: nmcli -p g | pastebinit; nmcli -p n | pastebinit; nmcli -p r | pastebinit; nmcli -p c | pastebinit; nmcli -p d | pastebinit
[13:39] <SSMAdmin> tomreyn, http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/4c9d6BBqDW/
[13:39] <tomreyn> SSMAdmin: this should return 5 urls
[13:39] <SSMAdmin> only one url
[13:40] <tomreyn> SSMAdmin: copy this entire line to your temrinal:
[13:40] <tomreyn> export LANG=C; nmcli -p g | pastebinit; nmcli -p n | pastebinit; nmcli -p r | pastebinit; nmcli -p c | pastebinit; nmcli -p d | pastebinit
[13:40] <tomreyn> SSMAdmin: this should return 5 urls
[13:40] <syntaxfree> sorry, I saw the advice on the web to boot into recovery mode and dropped out of here.
[13:41] <SSMAdmin> tomreyn, http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/4N8ksTMYSM/

[13:41] <syntaxfree> but then when I get a root prompt and try to visudo, it tells me /etc/sudoers is read-only.
[13:41] <syntaxfree> can't sudo add myself sudo either.
[13:41] <tomreyn> SSMAdmin: okay, be careful about posting many< lines here on irc, you may get silenced or kicked.
[13:42] <pragmaticenigma> syntaxfree: try this sites recommendation : http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo
[13:42] <tomreyn> SSMAdmin: it does not seem like you ran the lastest variant of the series of commands, or i made a mistake. was there any error output before the urls?
[13:42] <syntaxfree> pragmaticenigma: will try.
[13:43] <SSMAdmin> tomreyn, ok, last command gave: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/GbffQKy3gs/ followed by http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/5CvrwqcpGf/ followed by http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/7jYh9NVHNX/ and http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/cZv7dnSDPv/ and http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/sMVBmPQvS5/
[13:44] <tomreyn> SSMAdmin: thanks, i understand english much better than norwegian (?)
[13:44] <SSMAdmin> tomreyn, in the first command you wrote 'mcli' instead of nmcli, that gave errors
[13:45] <tomreyn> SSMAdmin: alright, thanks. so network manager doesn't seem to consider itself in charge of managing your connection, do you have a static network configuration in /etc/network/interfaces ?
[13:45] <john_rambo> MonkeyDust, Any ideas
[13:45] <john_rambo> ?
[13:46] <SSMAdmin> tomreyn, not shure I understand what you are asking.  I have not made any custom modifications to anything, so dont know
[13:46] <tomreyn> SSMAdmin: i see. is it possible that someone else did on this computer?
[13:46] <chuun> is there any known issues to upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04?
[13:47] <SSMAdmin> tomreyn, no, no one else have access
[13:47] <tomreyn> chuun: yes, it is not supported. that's an issue.
[13:47] <tomreyn> chuun: not *yet* supported, that is
[13:47] <zapadas> Any 14.04 networking gurus around?
[13:47] <zapadas> :)
[13:48] <tomreyn> SSMAdmin: okay, then can you confirm that "cat /etc/network/interfaces" returns nothing or just comments (starting with #)?
[13:48] <tomreyn> .. and maybe blank line,s too
[13:48] <SSMAdmin> just comments
[13:49] <SSMAdmin> last line is #    sudo apt install ifupdown
[13:49] <andai> Hi! Is there a way to access the CD or USB device the LiveCD is running from, so that I can burn the LiveCD to another medium from the running LiveCD?
[13:50] <tomreyn> SSMAdmin: okay, give me a minute
[13:53] <chuun> ok thank you tomreyn
[13:55] <designbybeck> Hot Corners in Ubuntu 18.04? I thought Gnome Tweaks would have it ,but I don't see it
[13:56] <am_ex> designbybeck, you can add applet for this
[13:56] <tomreyn> SSMAdmin: so you have two wired (ethernet) NICs, enp4s0 and enp5s0, do you know which one should be connected?
[13:56] <am_ex> And configure as you want
[13:56] <designbybeck> am_ex, which applet?
[13:57] <am_ex> wam
[13:57] <designbybeck> or where do I find that am_ex
[13:57] <SSMAdmin> tomreyn, I think it is enp4s0, but honestly not sure
[13:58] <tomreyn> SSMAdmin: we can just try both: nmcli d connect enp4s0; nmcli d connect enp5s0
[13:58] <SSMAdmin> tomreyn, if I click the systray I get the menu option to "Connect", and it says enp4s0
[13:58] <am_ex> designbybeck, https://i.imgur.com/8IdEMEf.png
[13:58] <tomreyn> SSMAdmin: you said you did not have the network manager applet showing there
[13:59] <tomreyn> SSMAdmin: now you say you do
[13:59] <syntaxfree> so  I fixed the sudo problem. but let tell you where my solution deviates from instructions.
[14:00] <syntaxfree> I was already doing what that link suggested: rebooting to recovery mode.
[14:00] <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"
[14:01] <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
[14:02] <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.
[14:03] <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/
[14:04] <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> )
[14:05] <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
[14:06] <davide136> !join ubuntu-it
[14:06] <tomreyn> SSMAdmin: how about "nmcli d connect enp5s0" ?
[14:06] <SSMAdmin> tomreyn, same error
[14:07] <tomreyn> SSMAdmin: please post: dmesg -T | pastebinit
[14:07] <tomreyn> SSMAdmin: oh wait you probably cant since you may no longer be online?
[14:08] <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
[14:10] <davide136> Hi guys, need some help...with x11vnc and a server

[14:11] <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
[14:13] <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.
[14:14] <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.
[14:16] <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.
[14:17] <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 :)
[14:19] <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"
[14:20] <tomreyn> SSMAdmin: network manager should log to this, and it may provide a better error message there
[14:21] <SSMAdmin> tomreyn, see pm
[14:22] <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?
[14:25] <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?
[14:26] <christos_> Hey guys. how do I add a self signed certificate to my system so it stops saying "Not Secure" in my browser?
[14:27] <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
[14:28] <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.
[14:29] <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"
[14:30] <christos_> teward: so what good are self-signed certs then?
[14:30] <MonkeyDust> teward  christos_ take the discussion elsewhere
[14:30] <christos_> MonkeyDust: sorry
[14:31] <tomreyn> SSMAdmin: read also this since you may be using systemd-networkd rather than network manager at this time: http://xmodulo.com/switch-from-networkmanager-to-systemd-networkd.html
[14:31] <tomreyn> SSMAdmin: but you should probably use network-manager instead.
[14:34] <syntaxfree> sorry. still problems. I googled this desperately but.
[14:34] <syntaxfree> I renamed an user account with usermod -l and it no longer shows up in the ubuntu graphical login screen
[14:35] <Toriel> Hello. It is possible to get help here with Kubuntu ? I'm sorry, I'm newbie...
[14:35] <tgm4883> !ask | Toriel
[14:36]  * tomreyn afk for a bit
[14:36] <Toriel> I'm deeply sorry.
[14:37] <MonkeyDust> Toriel  let's hear it, in one line
[14:37] <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?
[14:38] <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
[14:41] <Toriel> By the way, when I active "Surround analogique 4.1", I have sound from one speaker but this sound sounds weird. (I'm French sorry for my English). There is no sound with Duplex Surround Analogique from Speakers, but there is sound from Headphones. So I don't think it's a problem with sound card. Thanks you very much. :)
[14:44] <syntaxfree> I keep on dropping in and out, but it's because I'm frantically trying things.
[14:45] <syntaxfree> recap, I renamed an user account with usermod -l and can no longer log in from the GUI log in screen.
[14:46] <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.
[14:48] <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
[14:49] <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?
[14:50] <m27> is there a torrent client with a terminal interface, and web-interface (but not perse regular gui)?
[14:50] <syntaxfree> genii: if I understood things correctly I did that and undid it (for reasons). Is "cd ~; pwd" enough to check what's my home directory?
[14:50] <MonkeyDust> !find packettracer
[14:50] <MonkeyDust> !find packettracer bionic
[14:50] <syntaxfree> (I'm su-ed in from another account.)
[14:52] <SSMAdmin> tomreyn, think I am on 4.15.0-20.
[14:52] <Borw3> MonkeyDust: packettracer doesn't exist in ubuntu repos
[14:52] <syntaxfree> great. my old username doesn't exist anymore.
[14:53] <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
[14:54] <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
[14:55] <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
[14:56] <SSMAdmin> tomreyn, Linux version 4.15.0-20-generic (buildd@lgw01-amd64-039) (gcc version 7.3.0 (Ubuntu 7.3.0-16ubuntu3)) #21-Ubuntu SMP Tue Apr 24 06:16:15 UTC 2018
[14:56] <tomreyn> SSMAdmin: you have the latest already, sorry, my bad. 4.15.0-20.21
[14:57] <tgm4883> Borw3: packet tracer 6?
[14:57] <Borw3> tgm4883: No 7.1.1, why 6 works?
[14:58] <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] <tgm4883> Borw3: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2390401
[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] <tgm4883> Borw3: did you also see this https://askubuntu.com/questions/1031008/packet-tracer-7-1-1-crashes-on-startup-xubuntu-18-04?utm_medium=organic&utm_source=google_rich_qa&utm_campaign=google_rich_qa
[14:59] <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
[15:00] <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?
[15:01] <theTOOLMAN> SSMAdmin: !mdadm
[15:01] <theTOOLMAN> !adm
[15:02] <theTOOLMAN> no? damn bottu doesn't knwo mdadm
[15:02] <tgm4883> !info mdadm
[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
[15:03] <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
[15:04] <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
[15:05] <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?
[15:06] <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
[15:07] <SSMAdmin> tgm4883, tomreyn has been trying to help out, but we did not find a solution
[15:07] <tgm4883> ah
[15:09] <OnkelTem> How to check if everything is fine with my encrypted home?
[15:10] <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.
[15:11] <syntaxfree> yeah. the more things I try, the more things I break it seems.
[15:12] <OnkelTem> systemd[1]: dev-mapper-cryptswap1.device: Job dev-mapper-cryptswap1.device/start timed out.

[15:15] <solstice> oops. I found itin 'Software'
[15:16] <hid> Someone'having problem with bumblebee on ubuntu18.04?
[15:18] <MonkeyDust> hid  that's a yes/no question, what brings you here
[15:19] <Peyam> I have xubuntu 16.04 and windows 10 installed. everytime my computer goes to sleep and I want to wake it up it goes to boot menu
[15:19] <hid> MonkeyDust: i didnt find a tutorial on how to make it work on the latest ubuntu release
[15:20] <hid> i cant get it worked on ubuntu18
[15:21] <oerheks> hid, bumblebee is old, prime is current
[15:21] <solstice> why do I have 2 version of the same snap mounted ? like gnome-system-monitor_36 and gnome-system-monitor_39
[15:21] <solstice> is that a bug ?
[15:21] <oerheks> you would get prime when you use our drivers from the repos
[15:21] <hid> prime :o
[15:21] <syntaxfree> now I was just betrayed by my internet connection.
[15:21] <hid> i'll check this out

[15:24] <slyrus> anyone else having NVIDIA troubles post-bionic upgrade?
[15:24] <chiefnoah> I had a few problems
[15:24] <chiefnoah> nvidia always has problems
[15:24] <slyrus> heh, fair enough
[15:24] <chiefnoah> I also had Polkit star segfaulting
[15:24] <chiefnoah> start*
[15:24] <slyrus> usually I can sort them out. so far no luck with bionic.
[15:25] <chiefnoah> what issues are you seeing?
[15:25] <slyrus> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1768906
[15:25] <slyrus> 2 of 3 systems are fine, but one crashes on login
[15:26] <slyrus> I'm getting to the point where I'm thinking an OS reinstall might be necessary
[15:26] <chiefnoah> it's usually the easiest in my experience. It looks like you might still be loading the mesa drivers
[15:31] <slyrus> chiefnoah: have any pointers to a relatively pain-free way to do an OS reinstall with minimal data-loss/pain?
[15:31] <slyrus> and how might I go about making sure the mesa drivers aren't actually loaded?
[15:31] <cap_> i have trouble connecting wirelessly to my router 192.168.1.1 but can connect to my other router 192.168.254.254 wirelessly, what could be the problem?
[15:32] <cap_> i have trouble connecting wirelessly to my router 192.168.1.1 but can connect to my other router 192.168.254.254 wirelessly, what could be the problem?
[15:33] <compdoc> those are quite different subnets. do you have a wired network too?
[15:33] <tgm4883> cap_: different wireless networks that aren't connected
[15:36] <genii> The x.x.254.254 probably just has a stronger signal which it wants to use over the other
[15:36] <cap_> compdoc: my router was working perfectly a few days ago, i can access the admin settings, and browse the shared folder with it. but now it's hard to connect.
[15:37] <cap_> tgm4883, my phone can connect to the router easily.
[15:37] <JimBuntu> cap_, equipment does also wear out over time, it's a possibility.
[15:37] <compdoc> cap_, do you have it set to use a specific channel? maybe other people near you are using the same channel
[15:39] <cap_> compdoc, other people in my house use the router for internet. and their limited till 11pm, it's already 11:30, im the only one using it right now.
[15:39] <compdoc> I mean other routers in your neighborhood could be tryig to use the same channel. theres often a setting that set it to 'auto' to try to grab the least used channel
[15:40] <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] <oerheks> cap_, reset the router, if that does not fix it, i guess it is not an ubuntu issue
[15:40] <ledeni> cap_, reset router
[15:41] <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) ?
[15:42] <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.
[15:43] <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?
[15:44] <cap_> oerheks, yes i've tried that.
[15:44] <cap_> JimBuntu, the other one is a 4g modem router.
[15:45] <JimBuntu> 4G has nothing to do with the 2.4GHz or 5GHz that I am talking about
[15:46] <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.
[15:47] <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.
[15:48] <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] <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
[15:49] <Adran> sudo journalctl*
[15:49] <cap_> Adran, too many logs
[15:50] <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
[15:51] <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
[15:52] <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.
[15:53] <cap_> Adran, im still waiting for the result for grep
[15:55] <cap_> Adran, hmm it's taking so long..
[15:59] <Adran> cap_: thats a bit annoying.
[15:59] <JimBuntu> Adran, maybe `sudo egrep -i "Network|NM|wifi" /var/log/kern.log` ?
[15:59] <Adran> ^ cap_
[16:00] <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.
[16:01] <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?
[16:02] <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
[16:03] <Adran> And we can try to guide you through what the problem is.
[16:04] <nacc> JimBuntu: what command is hanging?
[16:05] <JimBuntu> nacc, cap_ ran 'sudo egrep -i "Network|NM|wifi" /var/log/messages' and it hung... we know there is no messages file, but I'm confused why it hun
[16:05] <CheetahPixie> So
[16:05] <CheetahPixie> I have a problem here
[16:05] <CheetahPixie> I just updated to Bionic.
[16:05] <JimBuntu> nacc, we are awaiting the upload of either 'sudo egrep -i "Network|NM|wifi" /var/log/kern.log' or the /var/log/syslog
[16:05] <compdoc> uh oh
[16:06] <CheetahPixie> My problem right now is the fact that one of my monitors on my RX480 is not turning on.
[16:06] <cap_> JimBuntu, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/FHyb8JTBty/
[16:06] <CheetahPixie> And, well
[16:06] <CheetahPixie> I want it back on.
[16:06] <RoadRunner|2> Can't connect to internet: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/WrmPqZR5fP/
[16:06] <CheetahPixie> It works in the BIOS, so the card isn't broken.
[16:06] <CheetahPixie> What could be wrong?
[16:07] <CheetahPixie> This is on amdgpu drivers, by the way.
[16:08] <CheetahPixie> Anyone?
[16:09] <compdoc> the amdgpu drivers from before the upgrade?
[16:10] <CheetahPixie> compdoc: I did a full system upgrade. I thought they updated amdgpu too?
[16:10] <CheetahPixie> (as they should, what with this being a new kernel)
[16:11] <ask-ygU5AP56> hey
[16:11] <CheetahPixie> I tried updating via UKUU to 4.15, no dice.
[16:11] <ask-ygU5AP56> I want a particular program to use local dir libs first, then system wide libs
[16:11] <CheetahPixie> No ideas?
[16:12] <cap_> how do i mention a user here?
[16:12] <ask-ygU5AP56> I try w/ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=local_dir:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ./app
[16:12] <ask-ygU5AP56> no go
[16:12] <JimBuntu> Sorry cap_ , something came up - peeps, please check this for wifi connectivity issues - https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/FHyb8JTBty/
[16:15] <cap_> JimBuntu, thank u.
[16:18] <JimBuntu> So others know, what is the name of the ASUS network?
[16:18] <cap_> JimBuntu, asus router ssid is wifico
[16:20] <metro> why isn't the Synaptic Package Manager part of Ubunut ??
[16:20] <metro> *Ubuntu*
[16:21] <JimBuntu> cap_  state change: ip-config -> failed (reason 'ip-config-unavailable') [70 120 5]
[16:21] <webmind> The ubu nut
[16:21] <oerheks> metro, it is, just not standard installed
[16:21] <tgm4883> !info synaptic | metro it is
[16:21] <oerheks> !info synaptic
[16:21] <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).
[16:22] <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?
[16:24] <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.
[16:25] <cap_> JimBuntu, i'll update u if ever it fixed or not. thank u. its running late now here, need to sleep. thank u guys.
[16:27] <JimBuntu> Have a great night cap_. You may find that the router simply corrupted your MAC in it's tables. Good thing to check for AND... MACs aren't permenant.
[16:34] <CheetahPixie> Nobody?
[16:34] <CheetahPixie> My computer is not picking up this screen, no matter what.
[16:35] <xar-> CheetahPixie: this is a support channel driven mostly by volunteers, if no one knows the answer, it's doubtful you'll get any response, have you tried the ubuntu forums in the mean time?
[16:36] <badsekter> is ubuntu still all the rage?
[16:42] <leftyfb> badsekter: your question is not a support question. Feel free to chat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[16:44] <omarv> Hi all, could someone tell me what is the channel to ask about Docker CE installation on Ubuntu Bionic(18.04) ?? thanks...
[16:46] <EriC^^> omarv: try /msg alis list docker
[16:56] <JimBuntu> CheetahPixie, I have the same video card, I can try using a USB bootable with 18.04, but not for about 5+ hours :(
[16:57] <JimBuntu> I was already planning to upgrade the primary drive on that very machine tonight/tomorrow as well.
[16:58] <omarv> Eric: Sorry I can´t understand you..
[17:01] <JimBuntu> omarv, type in what EriC^^ said, starting with the forward slash...
[17:01] <JimBuntu> alis is a function to help you find a list of channels with docker in the name
[17:02] <omarv> ok
[17:06] <bart__> 18.04 release is great, well done. Only issue I've seen is when you enter a wrong password at the login screen, then you get just purple screen.
[17:10] <tytan> Hello everyone, when I try to create a network bridge on ubuntu server 18.04 the boot process get's very slow. It's waiting for some network stuff then ...
[17:22] <omarp> Hi all, could someone tell me what is the right channel # to solve a question about Docker CE installation on Ubuntu Bionic(18.04) ?? ,,I have a problem trying to find the repository : https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu ,,thanks
[17:24] <tomreyn> omarp: how do you mean you can't "find it"?
[17:28] <CheetahPixie> JimBuntu: Any idea of how to actually turn the thing back on?
[17:29] <oerheks> omarp, the instructions are pretty clear, https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/docker-ce/ubuntu/#set-up-the-repository
[17:30] <CheetahPixie> Alright, kernel downgrade go.
[17:30] <matjam> does anyone have a problem with google chrome fonts vertical spacing being too small?
[17:30] <matjam> on some fonts, not all
[17:31] <matjam> view-source:http://amigadev.elowar.com/read/ADCD_2.1/Includes_and_Autodocs_3._guide/node0000.html
[17:31] <matjam> is a good example
[17:31] <omarp> tomreyn: when I try to add the repo using the command sudo add-apt-repository \  "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \ $(lsb_release -cs) \  stable"  ,  it show some errors i.e. : Err:24 https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/dists/bionic/stable bionic Release 404  Not Found [IP: 216.137.41.39 443]
[17:31] <matjam> you can see the first line kind of disappears off the top of the page and every line is crammed
[17:32] <matjam> I've fiddled with font settings but this has been this way since I installed clean
[17:32] <SSMAdmin> 18.04 server with ubuntu-desktop installed.  Have lost control with network connections, it may appear that Network Manager is no longer in control of the network connections. How can I investigate and fix it (revert it back) to Network Manger control?
[17:34] <omarp> oerheks: yes,but this is for Xenial 16.04 (LTS) , and I have 18.04(Bionic) ..I'm not sure if this docker CE version works with 18.04 ubuntu
[17:35] <tomreyn> omarp: that's weird, since the release file is ther eon the server this hostname resolves to for you.
[17:35] <SSMAdmin> In /etc/NetworkManager.conf I see [ifupdown]
[17:35] <SSMAdmin> managed=false  Could I try setting this to managed=true without destroying anything, and maybe fix the problem?
[17:36] <tomreyn> SSMAdmin: oh yes, indeed!
[17:36] <tomreyn> good find
[17:36] <tomreyn> i forgot about this setting
[17:36] <SSMAdmin> tl
[17:36] <SSMAdmin> tl
[17:37] <SSMAdmin> tomreyn, box rebooted, now we will see :-)
[17:38] <ash_work> is there a way to check if `deb ... bionic stable` is a valid repo?
[17:38] <tomreyn> omarp: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/zzQJxWMvbw/
[17:39] <JimBuntu> CheetahPixie, does it work if you boot from 16.04 ?
[17:39] <SSMAdmin> tomreyn, did not work
[17:40] <tomreyn> SSMAdmin: :-/ a pity. see if you can create a new profile, though. delete the existing one, create a new one.
[17:40] <SSMAdmin> tomreyn, maybe I need to change something else to make that command in effect?
[17:41] <nacc> SSMAdmin: managed under the ifupdown section
[17:41] <SSMAdmin> tomreyn, for testing I can just create an extra ordinary user profile?
[17:41] <nacc> SSMAdmin: are you using e/n/i ?
[17:41] <omarp> tomreyn:may be I have a mistake in curl command, I will try again..
[17:41] <SSMAdmin> nacc, I have no idea, I am not a tech, just trying to fix this: https://pastbin.smartskandalen.info/raw/hugadufuxo
[17:42] <tomreyn> SSMAdmin: a connectionprofile in network manager is what i meant
[17:42] <SSMAdmin> tomreyn, how to do that?
[17:42] <tomreyn> SSMAdmin: and yes, you can just create a new one.
[17:42] <SoniEx2> can I use netctl on Ubuntu?
[17:43] <tomreyn> SSMAdmin: using the top right corner GUI elements, as before
[17:43] <nacc> SoniEx2: what is netctl?
[17:43] <SSMAdmin> tomreyn, I still have no access to the "Network" Wired connections part of that area, only VPN and Proxy settings shows up
[17:43] <SoniEx2> better than NetworkManager
[17:44] <ducasse> nacc: an arch thing, i think
[17:44] <nacc> SoniEx2: no, it's an arch thing
[17:44] <nacc> ducasse: yeah you're right
[17:44] <SoniEx2> it's an arch project
[17:44] <oerheks> wicd-curses > https://askubuntu.com/questions/891885/is-there-a-wifi-menu-from-arch-linux-equivalent-in-ubuntu
[17:44] <SoniEx2> that doesn't make it "an arch thing"
[17:45] <nacc> SoniEx2: ... well it's only available on arch afaik
[17:45] <nacc> SoniEx2: if the arch developers want to make an ubuntu package, i'm sure they would be welcome to
[17:46] <tomreyn> SSMAdmin: well i'm out of ideas. try to sum up the issue and your environment (basically your ubuntu version, customizations you made) again and see if you can get someone else to help with a fresh take
[17:47] <SSMAdmin> tomreyn, Yes I have filed a bug report also.  thank you for all your help today
[17:47] <nacc> SSMAdmin: what specifically is  your network issue? (sorry if you said already) that required you to install desktop on server
[17:47] <SoniEx2> so "build it myself"?
[17:49] <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
[17:51] <SSMAdmin> nacc, maybe some confusion here.  I have server installed, and in it I installed ubuntu-desktop to let my family view video and tv and browse the internet from the same box, it is a HTPC
[17:52] <nacc> SSMAdmin: right, so you did install desktop on server :)
[17:54] <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 :-)
[17:56] <vinsent> helo
[17:56] <vinsent> hello
[17:56] <omarp> tomreyn: i got this: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/sNCH5Jt2Jf/
[18:00] <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
[18:01] <blackflow> rosco__: PEP-394
[18:01] <rosco__> well then python2 and python are different things.
[18:01] <rosco__> this is ridiculous
[18:02] <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?
[18:03] <ash_work> nvm
[18:03] <blackflow> rosco__: then they're asking for python 2. PEP-394 defines what "default" python command should be.
[18:04] <ioria> rosco__, what you mean with '/usr/bin/python is missing from the default install of the latest 18.04' ?
[18:05] <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] <Pici> rosco__: if the script's themselves specify /usr/bin/python in their shebang, then they want python2.  That is the standard.
[18:05] <ioria> rosco__, https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/amd64/python-minimal/filelist
[18:05] <Guest49957> olá
[18:06] <Guest49957> hello
[18:06] <Pici> ioria: that is not installed by default.
[18:06] <JimBuntu> rosco__, https://linuxconfig.org/install-python-2-on-ubuntu-18-04-bionic-beaver-linux
[18:06] <ioria> Pici ho, didn't know that
[18:07] <rosco__> ioria: python2 has been removed from ubuntu 18.04, and /usr/bin/python is missing as well
[18:07] <JimBuntu> "Python 2 is no longer installed by default. Python 3 has been updated to 3.6. This is the last LTS release to include Python 2 in main." as per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BionicBeaver/ReleaseNotes
[18:07] <ioria> rosco__,   python-minimal  pkg, then
[18:08] <enissay> Hi, I have a list of words in a textfile, and I want to find which file they are located in another folder containing 1000+ text files x_x .... is it doable with find cli ?
[18:08] <rosco__> I'm ok with removing python2 from ubuntu 18, but at least make "$ python" point to python3 instead of returning a "command not found"
[18:08] <JimBuntu> rosco__, that would be a disaster. They aren't directly compatible
[18:08] <Guest49957> Has anyone heard of BothanSpy & Gyrfalcon?
[18:08] <ioria> rosco__,   idt it's a good idea
[18:09] <Guest49957> Has anyone heard of BothanSpy & Gyrfalcon?
[18:09] <JimBuntu> no
[18:09] <nacc> rosco__: ... python2 wasn't removed
[18:10] <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...
[18:11] <enissay> just found a lead on it and was reading the man
[18:11] <germs> grep -RiE "word1|word2|word3" <path>
[18:12] <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
[18:13] <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
[18:14] <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.
[18:15] <ioria> my 18.04 has python-mininal  (but i upgraded from 17.10)
[18:15] <nacc> right, if you already had scripts taht used python2 in previous releases, you will still have python
[18:16] <nacc> if you fresh installed 18.04, you can't have scripts that need python2, until you put them on the system
[18:17] <ioria> right , right
[18:17] <nacc> at least, that's the logic afaict :)
[18:20] <David_Hedlund> What's the package responsible for Ubuntu Live USB creator?
[18:20] <nacc> rosco__: JimBuntu: also removing from main and/or not installed by default, does not mean removed from Ubuntu
[18:20] <xfcetheme> hey, guys! how would i go about installing manjaros xfce theme on my xubuntu?
[18:21] <nacc> David_Hedlund: source: usb-creator, binary: usb-creator-common/usb-creator-gtk
[18:22] <David_Hedlund> nacc: Thank you.
[18:23] <brainwash> xfcetheme: https://wiki.xfce.org/howto/install_new_themes
[18:26] <SSMAdmin> On ubuntu 18.04 server, using command 'nmcli d' show devices managed by Network Manager. For me this gave 2 ethernet cards and loopback device, all show UNMANAGED.  How can I set this to be MANAGED by Network Manager?
[18:27] <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. Enough for me tonight, see ya.
[18:27] <xfcetheme> brainwash: ive seen it and it doesnt help since i dont know the gui components by name, just saw it at uni
[18:28] <Guest84535> hello
[18:28] <brainwash> xfcetheme: gui components?
[18:29] <Guest84535> Has anyone heard of BothanSpy & Gyrfalcon?
[18:29] <ioria> SSMAdmin, you should have a file in /etc/netplan   ; check the renderer
[18:30] <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
[18:31] <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
[18:32] <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?
[18:33] <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 ..
[18:34] <SSMAdmin> ioria, done
[18:34] <ioria> SSMAdmin, ok, using static or manual ?
[18:34] <SSMAdmin> ?
[18:35] <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] <omarp> brainwash: I'm trying to install docker on 18.04(Bionic), following:  https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/docker-ce/ubuntu/#set-up-the-repository , but get errors: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/7yKzCWDY6K/
[18:36] <ioria> SSMAdmin, ok, replace that file with this https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/PSWHYgdQrZ/
[18:36] <SSMAdmin> ioria, router assing the ip, but router is configured to give it the same ip each time
[18:36] <userad> oi
[18:37] <userad> llll
[18:37] <SSMAdmin> ioria, ok..done, now reboot?
[18:37] <ioria> SSMAdmin, yes
[18:38] <userad> were are you from?
[18:38] <ioria> SSMAdmin, be sure network-manager is running
[18:39] <brainwash> omarp: but the file is there https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/dists/bionic/stable/binary-amd64/
[18:40] <userad> angola
[18:41] <nacc> userad: stop. this the support channel. chitchat elsewhere
[18:42] <userad>  bb b b b
[18:42] <userad> sorry
[18:43] <SSMAdmin> ioria, thanks a lot, problem solved, its working.  At least I can now manage network connections in the desktop.  Now I will test Screen Sharing :-)
[18:43] <ioria> SSMAdmin, ok, what you mean with Screen Sharing ? vnc ?
[18:43] <Draconiator> Bleh I need more coffee...I'm already here.
[18:44]  * genii 's ears perk up for a moment, then he goes back to doing work
[18:44] <hume> hey guys, I'm trying to get cuda working on my fresh 18.04. It turned out I needed an older version of gcc (gcc 6), which installed using "apt-get install gcc-6"
[18:44] <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
[18:45] <SSMAdmin> tomreyn, problem solved by ioria

[18:45] <ioria> SSMAdmin, i don't remember if vino is installed by default in bionic:  dpkg -l | grep vino
[18:46] <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 ?
[18:47] <ioria> SSMAdmin, btw, is Desktop Sharing
[18:47] <SSMAdmin> ioria, that is correct, but it is called "Screen sharing" in the Ubuntu interface
[18:48] <ioria> SSMAdmin,   dpkg -l | grep vino
[18:49] <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
[18:50] <nacc> omarp: ioria you are running the wrong command, afaict
[18:50] <ioria> nacc, meaning ?
[18:51] <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
[18:52] <nacc> omarp: re-read the webpage and run the command *exactly* as shown

[18:53] <nacc> srukle: what do you mean?
[18:53] <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
[18:54] <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!

[18:56] <SSMAdmin> ioria,  3223 ?        00:00:03 vino-server

[18:56] <srukle> That's a lot of stuff to look at on the week before exams. I'll look at this again after classes. :)
[18:56] <SSMAdmin> yes, and I am connected using Remmina :-)
[18:57] <ioria> SSMAdmin,  ok then (but you don't need remmina)
[18:57] <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?
[18:58] <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
[18:59] <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 :-)
[19:00] <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
[19:01] <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
[19:03] <SSMAdmin> Resolution fixed, imagine what one can find if one just look around in config settings :-)
[19:04] <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
[19:05] <SSMAdmin> Miguel2013, now all is working perfectly :-)

[19:23] <swein> Does anyone know why installing 16.04 server on a NVME mdadm raid 1 won't boot? /boot is raid 1 md127 device, it's listed as a bootable partition. grub install says it installed, but no boot. BIOS options all look fine, in legacy mode.
[19:30] <blackbird_> nacc: with  4.4.0-121 or 4.4.0-122, I had retpoline problem.
[19:33] <Criminal[m]> Why does restarting systemd-logind seem to restart the display manager? (Ubuntu 17.10)
[19:34] <v0lksman> I just upgraded a system from 12 to 14 and now want to upgrage again from 14 - 16 but am getting an upgrade error.  It's likely due to a package I've installed, how would I figure out which one?
[19:34] <leftyfb> v0lksman: which 12, 14 and 16?
[19:34] <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
[19:35] <v0lksman> 04...lTS on all
[19:35] <leftyfb> that makes a huge difference since .10 isn't supported anymore on any of those
[19:35] <leftyfb> v0lksman: why do you have a desktop OS running headless?
[19:35] <leftyfb> or are you
[19:37] <rdias002> can somebody please help me with how do i get pinch to zoom and disable touchpad while typing. i have searched dozens of articles and none of them seem to work. i have even installed gnome tweaks but it doesn't seem to work . i have ubuntu 18.
[19:37] <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 ?
[19:38] <leftyfb> v0lksman: there is, but what errors are you getting?
[19:39] <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/
[19:40] <v0lksman> that's the one!  looks like one of my postgres packages is holding it up
[19:40] <debkad> rdias002: take a look at this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/111510/how-to-activate-pinch-to-zoom-twisting-with-synaptics-touchpad?utm_medium=organic&utm_source=google_rich_qa&utm_campaign=google_rich_qa
[19:40] <oerheks> omarp, what confuses me, is that docker uses https..
[19:41] <leftyfb> v0lksman: you need to post error messages
[19:41] <leftyfb> v0lksman: what about removing posgres, do the upgrade and reinstall?
[19:44] <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
[19:45] <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
[19:46] <v0lksman> all good...seems that was it...now dealing with not enough disk space
[19:46] <leftyfb> v0lksman: NOW you gotta remove the db ;)
[19:47] <ioria> v0lksman,  df -h
[19:47] <RoadRunner|2> How to resolve an ip into a name?

[19:48] <leftyfb> RoadRunner|2: host, nslookup, dig, nmap
[19:48] <leftyfb> RoadRunner|2: why?
[19:48] <omarp> oerheks: I'm trying to install docker on ubuntu 18.04. yes Docker’s official GPG key is https ,...   :$ curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
[19:48] <RoadRunner|2> leftyfb: having problems with dns
[19:48] <leftyfb> RoadRunner|2: those only work if your DNS has reverse DNS setup
[19:49] <de-facto> v0lksman, top 100 files "sudo du -a / | sort -n -r | head -n 100"
[19:49] <RoadRunner|2> leftyfb: Does resolv.conf get overwritten after a kernel update?
[19:50] <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?
[19:51] <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
[19:52] <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
[19:53] <SSMAdmin> Is there a way to force 18.04 to accept user accounts without a password?  I want my family to be able to log in to the HTPC (ubuntu server) to watch netflix without typing a password, specially my kids should not need to do this
[19:53] <RoadRunner|2> leftyfb: perhaps you could help me with my problem then? https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/WrmPqZR5fP/
[19:54] <de-facto> SSMAdmin, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutoLogin maybe?
[19:54] <rdias002_> what should i do?
[19:54] <leftyfb> RoadRunner|2: nmcli device show|grep DNS
[19:55] <omarp> brainwash, nacc, ioria, oerheks:I did that and have just one error: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/2tWny8g8dx/ ,, I think is the file /etc/apt/sources.list
[19:56] <omarp> brainwash, nacc, ioria, oerheks: something related to ppa
[19:56] <brainwash> omarp: disable that ppa then
[19:57] <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] <omarp> brainwash, nacc, ioria, oerheks: edge mean test ?
[19:58] <leftyfb> RoadRunner|2: type exactly what I posted into a terminal
[19:58] <RoadRunner|2> leftyfb: I did :) but can only do it on this comp; the one I am trying to fix is at  a diff address...
[19:58] <oerheks> brainwash, oh i see, ubuntu-make ppa..
[19:59] <leftyfb> RoadRunner|2: Whatever computer is failing to do lookups, run the command I posted above and post the ip's here
[20:00] <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
[20:01] <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
[20:03] <omarp> brainwash: those docker guys are sh....! ...jajaja..
[20:03] <Pleasures> l
[20:03] <de-facto> RoadRunner|2, btw you always can ask a specific DNS server and see its answer with dig, eg. "dig @8.8.8.8 freenode.net" to ask google dns 8.8.8.8. so you can try to ask the configured ips of your problem box and see if they answer
[20:05] <rdias002_> here is a link for anybody who wants to disable touchpad while typing: http://www.linuxandubuntu.com/home/how-to-disable-touchpad-while-writing-article-or-documentation-in-ubuntulinux-mint-or-derivatives-linux
[20:06] <RoadRunner|2> leftyfb: going back and forth btw locations for each indiv command is a nightmare so I am hoping someone could walk me through all  the steps in one go
[20:06] <leftyfb> RoadRunner|2: That's not how troubleshooting works. Steps can change depending on what we find
[20:07] <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?
[20:08] <oerheks> rdias002_, it is an option now, in gnome-tweak-tool for 17.10/18.04
[20:08] <oerheks> https://imgur.com/a/GcWq6hP
[20:10] <de-facto> RoadRunner|2, "whois 1.1.1.1" -> APNIC and Cloudflare DNS Resolver project

[20:11] <odroid> oracle or open java
[20:12] <oerheks> !java | odroid choose the one you like
[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.
[20:13] <oerheks> there is an advantage, yes, no need to add a funny ppa
[20:13] <Guest29711> hallo
[20:14] <SSMAdmin> de-facto, thank you
[20:17] <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
[20:21] <atlas_0x01> Ay
[20:21] <Miguel2013> ayay
[20:21] <atlas_0x01> Wait...is that off topic??
[20:21] <atlas_0x01> *gasp*
[20:22] <Miguel2013> test what dns other computer using the same isp works
[20:23] <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
[20:24] <Miguel2013> add dns-nameservers line to interfaces
[20:24] <Miguel2013> yea try the router ip too
[20:25] <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] <Miguel2013> licor
[20:28] <omarp> brainwash, nacc, ioria, oerheks: Docker on ubuntu 18.04 working like a charm: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/BYjJjrcCZ2/  , Thanks to all for your help and support ,, you are the great!!
[20:29] <RoadRunner|2> leftyfb: does this help? https://imgur.com/a/SNxuXuV
[20:29] <leftyfb> RoadRunner|2: is that the config of your router?
[20:30] <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
[20:34] <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
[20:35] <RoadRunner|2> leftyfb: would I then have to call them to get the info you are asking?
[20:36] <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
[20:38] <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> :)
[20:39] <RoadRunner|2> leftyfb: if this works, would that be a permanent change or would it get overwriten by next reboot or something?
[20:40] <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
[20:44] <ohallot> hi... is this the end-user support channel? suitable to ask end-user questions?
[20:45] <leftyfb> !ask | ohallot
[20:45] <phinxy> Is there a package for AlrGr-intl virtual console keymaps?
[20:46] <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.
[20:47] <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.
[20:48] <leftyfb> ohallot: probably not a bug. It's probably how they do things now. What does it matter to you though?
[20:50] <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.
[20:51] <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
[20:53] <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?
[20:54] <leftyfb> RoadRunner|2: you said you only had problems resolving DNS and that ping worked
[20:55] <RoadRunner|2> leftyfb: after the kernel fix, correct
[20:59] <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

[21:03] <L00P3X> Hello and good evening, I got this mouse, is there any chance it could work? I do not know how to do so.. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1057043/Tecknet-M001.html?page=2#manual
[21:06] <jpleau> I notice the gnome-3-26-1604 snap seems installed by default on 18.04, is there harm in removing it?
[21:14] <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
[21:15] <oerheks> jpleau, you might be able to, yes, not seen anyone tried before..

[21:17] <nacc> Miguel2013: ... why do you keep asking the previous question? neither 7.10 nor 10.10 are supported any longer
[21:17] <nacc> Miguel2013: and the question before that is trolling. So please stay ontopic.
[21:17] <L00P3X> i remebered the comand now.. on dmesg i got "[57519.611244] usb 4-2: Product: 2.4GHz 2way RF Mouse Receiver " recognised.. but i don't know how to get this mouse work
[21:21] <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
[21:22] <jpleau> nacc: I removed every other snap besides "core" and this one, was wondering if anything else was using it :)
[21:23] <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
[21:24] <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 :)
[21:26] <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

[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?
[22:21] <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
[22:22] <mattfly1> oh wait will mpv play the video too?
[22:22] <oerheks> yes, space = pause
[22:22] <mattfly1> damn!

[22:22] <oerheks> some speech recognition programs work better this way, though
[22:23] <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
[22:24] <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?
[22:25] <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 ??
[22:26] <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] <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
[22:27] <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
[22:28] <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?
[22:29] <mattfly1> I always get stuck on s2disk snapshooting system
[22:29] <theseb> mattfly1: thanks for the help..i think i confirmed i have swap ;)
[22:30] <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
[22:31] <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
[22:32] <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
[22:33] <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
[22:34] <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

[22:35] <md_5> anyone else seen issues with hanging nvidia drivers on 18.04? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-390/+bug/1767932
[22:36] <mattfly1> wow
[22:38] <mattfly1> md_5 im currently using nvidia-390 and i dont have something like that at all
[22:38] <md_5> :( yeah I can't see anything similar reported yet which is surprising
[22:38] <md_5> and unfortunately there is no downgrade path to nvidia-384
[22:39] <mattfly1> i have a gtx 1050 ti
[22:39] <mattfly1> what DE are you using? are you using wayland?
[22:40] <md_5> GTX770/X/Unity
[22:40] <mattfly1> when does that happen?
[22:40] <md_5> "randomly" - https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1033054/linux/kernel-task-hang-on-390-48-396-18-gtx770-/post/5256234/#5256234
[22:40] <md_5> its generally close to startup
[22:40] <md_5> like < 10 minutes
[22:41] <mattfly1> but if you dont login does it happen?
[22:41] <mattfly1> never made that test?
[22:41] <md_5> might've happened once on the gdm login screen, but havent specifically tested
[22:42] <mattfly1> well here i have ldm and kde plasma desktop
[22:42] <oerheks> md_5, lots of bugreports on launchpad about the 390 driver, this might be a solution, for now, 396 -- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-390/+bug/1752053/comments/116
[22:43] <md_5> oerheks I'm on 396 now
[22:43] <oerheks> oh oke
[22:43] <md_5> same hang, both the original 396 and the one released yesterday
[22:43] <md_5> left backtraces of both hangs in the ticket, but theyre identical
[22:43] <oerheks> did you purge  xserver-xorg-video-nouveau too?
[22:43] <md_5> nope, guess I can give it a shot
[22:44] <md_5> I don't have an Xorg.conf
[22:44] <zeffy> guys can you help me with virtualbox even if i use parrotsec ?
[22:44] <md_5> Worth noting when it works, it works fine. Currently chatting from the affected desktop
[22:44] <L00P3X> I don't know what else to try to get this mouse working... i made a pastebin from "tail dmesg" and "hwinfo --mouse". it is full recognised but i have no idea on what to do now.. if someone would please give it a look I would be very gratefull for any help.
[22:44] <oerheks> md_5, ubuntu generates one, and removes it during shutdown, AFAIK
[22:45] <oerheks> you might want to read the full post, what has been tried,, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-390/+bug/1752053
[22:45] <md_5> ubuntu just uses /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d mostly
[22:45] <oerheks> jups, to populate xorg.conf
[22:45] <md_5> oerheks seem to be different issues, I boot fine, just get a deadlock "randomly"
[22:50] <ringzer0> I have nginx running; I can see the process.  and netstat -a | grep LISTEN - shows port 81 open.  I can connect to it via: curl loalhost:81 ... but I cannot do curl mytld.com:81 ... it just hangs.
[22:50] <ringzer0> I have turn ufw off via: ufw disable
[22:51] <md_5> Check its listening to 0.0.0.0 or a public ip

[23:03] <riotz> wtf.. "df -h" "root on nautilus" and diskdrive manager all show different values
[23:03] <riotz> on df -h i have 95gb free.. nautilus says its 101gb disk manager shows 121,6gb
[23:04] <genii> 5% gets reserved for superuser
[23:06] <riotz> hmm that would give a answer to df -h and nautilus
[23:07] <riotz> any clue how disk manager gets such a huge value?
[23:08] <riotz> maybe it ignored tmpfs
[23:09] <riotz> whereas i have only 24 assigned to tmpfs
[23:10] <riotz> wick wack cadillac
[23:15] <NoImNotNineVolt> hey, i'm running 14.04 and apparently apache 2.4.7... 2.4.0 through 2.4.25 have broken directory indexes... i was considering moving to 16.04, but that's only apache2 2.4.18....
[23:15] <NoImNotNineVolt> and i don't think i'm going to be able to convince anyone to run 18.04 in prod just yet...
[23:15] <riotz> 16.04 is still supported?
[23:15] <NoImNotNineVolt> isn't it lts?
[23:16] <riotz> yeah but it shouldnt be supported for that much longer
[23:16] <NoImNotNineVolt> even 14.04 is supported, isn't it?
[23:16] <riotz> lts was like 4 years or what
[23:16] <riotz> that should be over soon
[23:16] <riotz> lets see
[23:16] <riotz> https://www.ubuntu.com/info/release-end-of-life
[23:16] <NoImNotNineVolt> indeed, so 16.04 will be supported for another 3 years still.
[23:17] <NoImNotNineVolt> but that's not really the issue.
[23:17] <oerheks> ondrej would give 2.4.33 https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/ubuntu/apache2?field.series_filter=xenial
[23:18] <oerheks> https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=apache2
[23:18] <NoImNotNineVolt> nice, even for trusty.
[23:18] <NoImNotNineVolt> is that a trustworth ppa? :P
[23:18] <oerheks> or upgrade to 17.10/18.04
[23:19] <NoImNotNineVolt> lts is a requirement, and i don't think i could get any buy-in to move prod to 18.04 if they're still pushing back against 16.04
[23:19] <oerheks> it a commonly used one, yes, but a ppa is a ppa, use with care.
[23:19] <NoImNotNineVolt> "they" being management :P
[23:20] <riotz> NoImNotNineVolt, why dont you simply install the latest from the apache site?
[23:20] <riotz> the binaries there should be as good as the ppa
[23:20] <oerheks> .. would the apache site give security updates?
[23:21] <riotz> yeah well. no
[23:22] <NoImNotNineVolt> is ondrej fast with patches?
[23:23] <jpleau> NoImNotNineVolt: 2.4.7 doesn't mean vanilla 2.4.7, there are patches applied from latest upstream fixes
[23:23] <oerheks> last updates, 5 weeks ago
[23:23] <riotz> Apache HTTP Server 2.4.33 Released  March 23, 2018

[23:30] <jpleau> NoImNotNineVolt: what bug are you referring to exactly? You meant Directory Indexes being broken? Have an example?
[23:33] <riotz> the other question is why do prod servers run ubuntu at all.. why not simply debian?
[23:35] <xamithan> go to the offtopic channel if you just want to chatter riotz
[23:36] <riotz> xamithan, how come that this is a offtopic question?
[23:37] <xamithan> Well it has nothing to do with a support question
[23:37] <riotz> well i would say its reasonable question
[23:38] <xamithan> It is.   Debian doesn't have business support
[23:38] <xamithan> Ubuntu does
[23:38] <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
[23:39] <riotz> ntd, it works good on my t470p
[23:40] <ntd> docked?
[23:40] <ntd> with ultra/pro dock?
[23:40] <riotz> nope..
[23:41] <ntd> yeah, hence me clarifying
[23:41] <riotz> ok.. sorry overread that
[23:42] <ntd> nomodeset works, but multimon is then out of the question without major tinkering. warned them
[23:43] <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 ?
[23:44] <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
[23:45] <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
[23:47] <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?
[23:48] <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?
[23:49] <oerheks> post it on paste.ubuntu.com ..

[23:50] <jordino> why is ignoring?
[23:51] <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
[23:53] <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
[23:54] <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
[23:55] <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
[23:56] <jordino> but the problem is not on this computer
[23:56] <kevr> oerheks: github is an option
[23:56] <kevr> so it must.

[23:59] <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?
