[09:03] <luna_> morning
[09:07] <zmoylan-pi> plans for today... bed early to catch dawn chorus program tonight from midnight on radio... https://www.rte.ie/radio1/mooney/generic/2018/0327/950416-dawn-chorus-2018/
[10:05] <nucc1> do the /etc/network/if-pre-up.d hooks continue to work on 18.04? or is there some new place if i want to specify scripts that execute on network events?
[10:59] <nucc1> daftykins: trying to use ubuntu 18.04 as a router looks increasingly like a bad idea
[11:00] <nucc1> the /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/ hooks don't work for one thing. dnsmasq is shipped and installed, but no systemd service exists for it, and of course, systemd-resolvd exists just to get in your way :(
[18:40] <Guest76993> Hi room. Just did a fresh install of ubuntu 18.04 on my laptop and was trying to use my epson sx100 scanner on ubuntu. Installed iscan driversl.This worked perfect on previous versions of ubuntu but not detecting the scanner this time. can any one help .thanks in advance
[19:01] <zleap> has anyone produced a poster to promote ubuntu 18.04 ?
[19:12] <zmoylan-pi> any windows 10 poster? :-D
[19:13] <zleap> there used to be a site for things like ubuntu promo stuff
[19:13] <zleap> a few years ago i made a few posters
[19:13] <zleap> but other people made better ones
[19:14] <zleap> i installed 18.04 along side mint,  it won't boot properly and just freezes, so I am now trying to figure out how to make grub boot mint 18.3 by default again
[19:20] <zleap> ok got it,  brb just testing
[19:20] <zleap> not sure why 18.04 hangs, as the livecd booted fine and ubuntu installed fine
[19:24] <penguin42> at what point does it hang?
[19:36] <zleap> i pressed esc to get messages up it got as far as startng user manager for pid 120
[19:36] <zleap> i think
[19:36] <zleap> then nothing happened no keyboard response (not even caps lock light on / off)
[19:37] <zleap> however i can select recovery mode and get in that way
[19:37] <penguin42> there's a whole bunch of flags you can pass to systemd to get ti to give more info or take things one step at a time
[19:37] <zleap> ah ok
[19:39] <zleap> this system is dual boot so hard to be here and ask questions let along find a way to pste error message links in here
[21:44] <Guest27068> Hi guys. Just installed ubuntu 18.04 and find that image scan for linux is not identifying my epson printer anymore. It worked fine on earlier versions of ubuntu. Did a bit of googling but no much help. Can  some one guide me in the right directions. thanks
[21:46] <zleap> sane
[21:47] <Guest27068> zleap, yes installed sane following data and core package
[21:47] <Guest27068> but keep saying printer not available
[21:47] <zleap> hmm
[21:47] <zleap> i guess it was working before
[21:48] <Guest27068> zleap, yes with previous versions of ubuntu no problems
[21:48] <zleap> can you apt search for your printer
[21:50] <Guest27068> zleap, how do i do that?
[21:50] <zleap> for me apt search printer
[21:50] <zleap> however doing apt search printer | grep epson   which searches the output for epson gives me nothing for epson printers
[21:52] <Guest27068> zleap, does that mean it is not supported
[21:52] <zleap> have you plugged the printer in
[21:52] <Guest27068> yes
[21:53] <zleap> is it usb or wireless
[21:53] <Guest27068> usb
[21:53] <zleap> ok
[21:53] <zleap> so if you open a console and type dmesg
[21:54] <zleap> what happens (last message should refer to printer being removed (or item being removed) plug printer back in abnd do dmesg and you may get a message saying someting has been plugged in
[21:55] <Guest27068> https://pastebin.com/2vEK9C7H
[21:56] <Guest27068> thats the output with the printer
[21:57] <zleap> USB Bidirectional printer dev 12 if 1 alt 0 proto 2 vid 0x04B8 pid 0x0841
[21:57] <zleap> suggests it knows the printer is there
[21:57] <Guest27068> zleap, printer is working but just the scanner which is not working
[21:58] <zleap> erm
[21:58] <Guest27068> sx100 epson which is all in one printer
[21:59] <Guest27068> zleap, intrestingly simplescan is working with the same scanner
[22:00] <Guest27068> http://support.epson.net/linux/en/iscan_c.html this is the place where i get iscan for ubuntu normally. did this time too from the same site
[22:00] <zleap> can you use simplescan
[22:00] <zleap> which ubuntu did you use before
[22:01] <Guest27068> zleap, ubuntu 16.04 and yes i can scan with simplescan.
[22:01] <zleap> 1 hold on to the links to pastebin in a text file somewhere
[22:02] <zleap> so just use simplescan or are you looking for specific features
[22:03] <Guest27068> iscan was use ful to adjust scanning environment and resolution etc
[22:04] <Guest27068> also worked will with gimp. but now cant scan into gimp as iscan not working
[22:04] <Guest27068> zleap, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sane-backends/+bug/1728012 this is the kind of issue that i am facing
[22:05] <zleap> i ah
[22:05] <zleap> that could be it then,  thanks lubotu3
[22:05] <zleap> i am off,  getting really tired
[22:05] <zleap> i'll try and help tomorrow
