[00:10] <krytarik> Spreading the news, I see.. >_>
[00:12] <yetitwo> hey all! I'm trying to upgrade to bionic. I did a `sudo do-release-upgrade`, and when that command was executing, I got to "Calculating changes..." and my computer hung. I hard rebooted using the power button, and now when I go to run `sudo apt update` I get "No origin found for file" for 5 different files
[00:12] <yetitwo> if I run `sudo do-release-upgrade` again, it segfaults out
[00:12] <yetitwo> any thoughts on either of these problems?
[00:15] <yetitwo> oh! these steps fixed it: https://askubuntu.com/questions/789103/ubuntu-suddenly-broke-audio-apt-get-and-flash
[00:22] <zzero1> oh where I have been, an lts is out and I just heard it :P
[00:57] <energizer> How can I prevent <super>-i from being captured as invert window colors.
[00:57] <gogeta> energizer: change the hotkey
[00:57] <energizer> gogeta: where
[00:58] <energizer> i dont see it in "Keyboard Shortcuts"

[01:00] <gogeta> energizer: the gnome twak tool seems to let you
[01:00] <gogeta> tweak
[01:02] <energizer> gogeta: ok i have gnome-tweak-tool, which option are you referring to?
[01:03] <gogeta> energizer: it should be under keybord and mouse and adintal layout options
[01:03] <gogeta> energizer: from there you should be able to change you super key mapping
[01:06] <energizer> gogeta: i see some options like switching super with printscreen, but i'm really just looking to disable this particular keyboard shortcut
[01:08] <gogeta> energizer: should be n your shortcuts
[01:09] <energizer> gogeta: do you see it in your shortcuts? (ubuntu 17.10 gnome)
[01:10] <gogeta> energizer: i think thats part of dconf
[01:10] <gogeta> energizer: you would need to edit that
[01:11] <gogeta> energizer: and that is kinda advanced
[01:11] <gogeta> energizer: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/394143/how-to-disable-gnome-ctrlaltdown-and-ctrlaltup-shortcut
[01:11] <energizer> gogeta: im looking in dconf under org/gnome/desktop/wm/keybindings and i dont see "negative" or "invert" there
[01:11] <gogeta> energizer: humm
[01:13] <energizer> gogeta: i'm glad to hear you suggesting all the things i tried, means i was on a good debugging path :)
[01:13] <gogeta> energizer: i dont do gnome 3 myself. kde camp hear
[01:21] <energizer> i sorta think i turned this on years ago in compiz and now im not even running compiz but somehow the config stuck around
[01:25] <ahtd> I've just installed ubuntu 18.04 and every time the screen locks, it gets black and I have to reboot my laptop. What should I do?
[01:29] <xgp> hello
[01:32] <gogeta> ahtd: the easy slouting would be turn off screen locking
[01:32] <gogeta> ahtd: sloution
[01:33] <gogeta> ahtd: i would say you pc is acully havng truble coming out of sleep
[01:33] <ahtd> gogeta: but I turned off all sleep options
[01:33] <gogeta> ahtd: there also is a screen lock option
[01:33] <ahtd> gogeta: even when I force the screen to lock, it gets stuck on a black screen
[01:34] <gogeta> ahtd: turn that off and it should not ever lock
[01:34] <gogeta> ahtd: sounds like some sort of gpu driver issue
[02:18] <brognam> hello, my ubuntu 18.04 upgrade failed, now booting up into 4.15.0-20-generic causes a kernel panic, any suggestions on how to fix this?
[02:20] <k0nichiwa> do u have a rescue partition or rescue disk
[02:20] <brognam> no, but booting into 4.13 works fine
[02:20] <cfhowlett> brognam, reboot.  after boot splash hit the (esc) to interrupt. select older version of ubuntu, i.e. 4.13
[02:21] <brognam> i tried fixing/continuing the upgrade but it says no packages to update
[02:22] <k0nichiwa> could it be the download of 18 didnt comlete successfully
[02:22] <cfhowlett> reboot.  go to grub.  select previous kernel.
[02:22] <cfhowlett> oh wait, you were on 16.04?
[02:23] <brognam> i was on 17.10
[02:23] <metrum> Hello guys! I want to install the 16.04, but I'm afraid of the system upgrading itself to a newer version. Will Ubuntu do this or remain the version I install?
[02:24] <cfhowlett> unstable upgrade then.  download the .iso, make a boot USB on a different machine, boot from the USB and clean install, brognam
[02:25] <brognam> hmm ok
[02:25] <cfhowlett> metrum, ubuntu will never upgrade the OS without your intervention
[02:25] <metrum> nice, thanks
[02:25] <k0nichiwa> can one download from 17 to 16
[02:26] <k0nichiwa> downgrade to 16 than upgrade to 18
[02:26] <k0nichiwa> i mean, downgrade
[02:26] <cfhowlett> no downgrade capability in ubuntu, k0nichiwa.  you'll need to clean install
[02:27] <k0nichiwa> i was trying to answer brognam question
[02:27] <k0nichiwa> i like ot take wild guesses about things i know nothing about
[02:28] <metrum> should i disable "download updates while installing ubuntu" checkbox while installing it?
[02:28] <cfhowlett> metrum, your choice.
[02:28] <metrum> ok
[02:50] <Mimas> why can't I choose 64bit Ubuntu in VirtualBox
[02:50] <cfhowlett> Mimas, if your system doesn't support 64 bit ...
[02:50] <Mimas> or, indeed, any 64bit linux
[02:50] <Mimas> cfhowlett, it does
[02:50] <clownfishhuman> do you have a x64 host and x64 virtualbox?
[02:50] <cfhowlett> and does your VBox configure for 64 bit?
[02:51] <Mimas> clownfishhuman, good point, how can I tell which VirtualBox it is
[02:53] <clownfishhuman> try dpkg -l virtualbox
[02:53] <clownfishhuman> and it should say Architecture amd64
[02:53] <Mimas> clownfishhuman, i'm on Win10
[02:53] <clownfishhuman> oh darn
[02:53] <Mimas> still dumb with these different platforms...ugh
[02:54] <clownfishhuman> control panel -> installed applications might say something
[02:54] <rungcc> hi guys. I'm having some problems installing synergy (paid) v2 on my ubuntu
[02:54] <Mimas> clownfishhuman, i'm uninstalling and reinstalling the latest
[02:54] <rungcc> when dpkg -i i receive a message of problems, sugesting I ran apt-get -f install, but when I do, he just uninstall the synergy instead of solving the problems
[02:56] <ikkuranus> I'm having problems with folder permissions
[02:56] <ikkuranus> folder in question is set to root:users  770
[02:57] <ikkuranus> and my username is part of the users group but has no access to said folder
[02:57] <Mimas> clownfishhuman, I reinstalled, and still it doesn't have 64 bit options.
[02:58] <clownfishhuman> Mimas: have you tried running vb as admin?
[02:59] <Mimas> clownfishhuman, just did. I dunno, maybe I imagined it when there was a 64 bit option. not a big deal for me, though. just confusing
[02:59] <clownfishhuman> there's definately a 64 bit option... https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=74794
[03:00] <clownfishhuman> this guy said running the installer as admin helped
[03:00] <rungcc> any idea guys?
[03:00] <rungcc> does anyone use synergy?
[03:00] <guiverc> rungcc, uninstall is likely the only solution; does the synergy app support your version of ubuntu?  if you pastebin your errors, I may able to see why but a good clue is 'http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=' where you add the package you need after =  (helps seeing which versions have that version etc)
[03:00] <cfhowlett> rungcc, have you asked synergy for help?  since it's a paid program, they should support it.
[03:01] <ikkuranus> well technically you can still get it for free if you compile it yourself
[03:01] <rungcc> ikkuranus, I already have the paid version
[03:01] <rungcc> no reason for recompile it
[03:02] <polo> Hi I have an issue with 16.04 64-bit just started today after I shut down last night I went to use my laptop today and unity was missing no menu bar on the left or top is there any known bug or update issue?
[03:03] <polo> I do remember doing some updates last night before I shut down.
[03:05] <baprath> after upgrading to ubuntu 18.04 in software & updates entry of ubuntu 16.04,can I remove them.If yes then how?
[03:06] <polo> FYI because I had no way to fix it this is a fresh install I just reinstall 16.04 before coming here, Also I was able to use guess account with no issue
[03:08] <Tecan-> sigc++/class_slot.h  is missing
[03:08] <Tecan-> broken lib
[03:08] <Tecan-> nm guess it was removed
[03:17] <miguel2013> Why i get a msg on ubuntu 16.04 disabling irq11 for my netgear wag511 pcmcia
[03:17] <miguel2013> It's anoying i think it's reason i can't connect to my wpa router
[03:29] <baprath> please see this. https://pasteboard.co/HjRAUti.png
[03:31] <cfhowlett> !who | baprath
[03:32] <oerheks> click on the text, then 'remove' will be available, now it is grey
[03:32] <oerheks> baprath ^^
[03:33] <oerheks> odd that those repos are still in the list
[03:33] <ikkuranus> can someone help with file/folder permissions?
[03:35] <baprath> !oerheks removing them will not any problems in future
[03:36] <oerheks> if you are on 18.04 then removing xenial sources should give no problems
[03:44] <baprath> oerheks: thanks for help...
[03:48] <paddy> I found a solution to a bug that I want to report and provide the solution to how is this done?
[03:48] <cfhowlett> paddy, go to the bug page and update it with your proposed fix
[03:49] <paddy> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu this one? then report a bug?
[03:50] <cfhowlett> paddy, yep.
[03:52] <krytarik> !bug
[03:58] <paddy> cfhowlett: is there a special button for solution? Or do I just add a comment?
[03:59] <cfhowlett> I would add a comment and direct a message to the person assigned to the bug
[04:01] <paddy> cfhowlett: how do I see who is assigned to the bug?
[04:01] <paddy> there's a list of 20 - 30 people
[04:04] <cfhowlett> well if it's in progress, there's a person nominated
[04:10] <krytarik> Got a bug number?
[04:11] <cfhowlett> paddy, ^^^ ?
[04:14] <paddy> krytarik: 1769423
[04:15] <krytarik> LP #1769423
[04:15] <paddy> that's the one
[04:15] <paddy> it was a problem even on the vanilla kernal (I'm on low latency now)
[04:17] <sere_> i have 18.04 install on a sdd drive 20G=/ , 50G=/HOME no swap.. here is a picture of my conky scripts with all the info.. my cpu and ram info doesnt change much but my computer is going slow as snails so my question is am i doing something wrong or should i use another program to find the leak? im not sure where to look?
[04:17] <sere_> https://pasteboard.co/HjRUzNj.png
[04:18] <sere_> im using snaps but i dont think that should do it.. i feel like it might be hardware.. i also tried a minimal conky script aswell to see if the mem dropped and was not much of a difference
[04:22] <SlidingHorn> sere_: what's running slowly?  Honestly, it doesn't appear that there's much resource usage at all.  One thing to check, though, might be top/htop to see what specifically is using the most resources
[04:24] <sere_> SlidingHorn: thats whats strange.. top shows not much usages either but it take 2min just to open a single program
[04:35] <gogeta> SlidingHorn: wonder if it was just gnome 3 rendering slow(gpu issue)
[04:49] <hiiggy> Hey guys, I recently created a RAID1 mounted at /mnt/md0. However, any interaction with the array requires root. How do I set the appropriate permissions?
[04:50] <matjam> hiiggy: chown it to the user that needs access, or chmod it so that anyone can access it
[04:50] <matjam> if its just you, just chown it to you
[04:52] <hiiggy> matjam: If I do a chown for myself, and then run, say, Firefox, would I then be able to set it to download files to that location?
[04:53] <matjam> yes ... but you know you could move your home dir there then mount it to /home
[04:53] <matjam> if it's permanent that would make more sense than making it /mnt/md0
[04:54] <hiiggy> matjam: My main drive is a SSD, so I would want to keep /home where it is. The RAID1 will be primarily used to hold a lot of downloaded files. I wanted to see if I could just point /home/user/Downloads to /mnt/md0/
[04:55] <matjam> you could symlink it
[04:55] <hiiggy> I'd still need the change permissions though, wouldn't I?
[04:55] <matjam> cd ~; mv Downloads /mnt/md0; ln -s /mnt/md0/Downloads
[04:55] <matjam> ues
[04:55] <matjam> as root
[04:55] <matjam> sudo chown -R user:group /mnt/md0
[04:56] <totom> Pulse audio mutes every time system boots or log out. I tried commenting out load-module module-device-restore in default.pa but it didn't work
[04:56] <totom> anything else i can do?
[04:59] <hiiggy> matjam: Looks like it worked. Thanks. Out of curiosity, why do the permissions get inherited? I thought I would have had to set it regardless
[05:00] <matjam> what do you mean why do they get inherited? inherited from what?
[05:00] <matjam> a new filesystem is owned by root until chown'd to something else
[05:01] <hiiggy> well /mnt/md0 is still the original permissions requiring root to do anything, but the /mnt/md0/Downloads folder has my original permissions which I can freely do what I want with
[05:01] <hiiggy> Not complaining, mind you. Just wanted to understand the process.
[05:01] <matjam> if you moved Downloads as root
[05:01] <matjam> it keeps it's permissions
[05:01] <matjam> as mv preserves permissions
[05:02] <matjam> cp does not
[05:02] <hiiggy> Ah
[05:02] <hiiggy> I think that's where I was getting confused
[05:02] <hiiggy> Thanks for that.
[05:02] <matjam> btw
[05:02] <matjam> better off mounting that filesystem in /data or something like that
[05:03] <matjam>  /mnt is a "general purpose" mount point
[05:03] <matjam> for temporary mounts
[05:03] <matjam> though as you're the one using the machine its not a big deal
[05:04] <hiiggy> What difference does it make for the system's operation?
[05:04] <matjam> I tend to mount things directly on /mnt :P
[05:04] <matjam> well you don't know what could end up mounted on /mnt
[05:04] <matjam> which would mask /mnt/md0
[05:04] <matjam> maybe you use some script one day that temporarily mounts something on /mnt
[05:04] <hiiggy> So /data is more of a failsafe?
[05:04] <matjam>  /data isn't going to be used by anything else
[05:05] <hiiggy> I don't even have a /data. I'd just do a sudo mkdir Data in / I assume?
[05:05] <matjam> you can remount it there and just recreate the symlink in your homedir
[05:05] <matjam> yes
[05:06] <hiiggy> Good to know. I'll just have to remember how I set the array to mount first...
[05:06] <matjam> add an entry to /etc/fstab
[05:10] <hiiggy> matjam: I would have to do sudo mkdir /data/md0, right?
[05:10] <matjam> just mount it to /data
[05:10] <matjam> why call it /data/md0?
[05:11] <matjam> the mountpoint doesn't have to be named after the device
[05:11] <hiiggy> I don't know. I thought /data was similar to the mnt directory, in that it might anticipate additional drives or something.
[05:11] <hiiggy> So /data could be anything else. I could call it /raid1 and it would be the same thing?
[05:13] <matjam> you can mount it to any directory with any name
[05:13] <hiiggy> Cheers
[05:13] <matjam>  /data is a nice name ;-)
[05:30] <doulos05> @hiiggy: A device could get mounted over top of that device. In that case, all kinds of weirdness could ensue.
[05:35] <ca-on-adam> Hi, I have a defective thermal sensor, and I am looking for a way to disable the thermal shut down but I can't find any help on this.
[05:35] <da7niel> For some bizarre reason, when I ls in one of my directories I get all the files printed on a separate line, but only in this particular directory
[05:36] <da7niel> It's a git directory, i.e it's been git cloned, so I don't know if that has something to do with it, but it's been fine until I just did my recent pull
[05:36] <ca-on-adam> I am very experienced with computer hardware and I know that 255 degrees C is not a real temperature.
[05:36] <matjam> da7niel: you might have a file with a weird character in it
[05:36] <matjam> ie, in the name
[05:37] <matjam> da7niel: try ls -lba
[05:38] <da7niel> matjam: ahh thanks, the file names were the problem
[05:38] <matjam> second trick will be fixing it ;-)

[06:02] <lotuspsychje> everest: did you clean install or upgrade?
[06:03] <guiverc> lotuspsychje, could it be a chosen theme?  (just a thought)
[06:03] <everest> I had mint Linux I formatted tht partition and installed Manjaro, then I immediately after 2 hours formatted and installed Ubuntu 18.04 coz Its great.
[06:03] <everest> @guiverc same in both in default and comminitheme
[06:03] <lotuspsychje> guiverc: its an idea surely
[06:03] <lotuspsychje> everest: are you in wayland or xorg?
[06:04] <everest> xorg the default one
[06:05] <lotuspsychje> everest: can you also go test wayland please?

[06:05] <nitishch> Hi. I ran 'LS' command in Ubuntu 18.04 and received a suggestion: Command 'LS' not found, but can be installed with:
[06:05] <nitishch>  
[06:05] <nitishch> sudo apt install sl
[06:05] <nitishch> . This looks like a bug. How can I know if it has been reported before
[06:05] <everest> how do I login with guest accct
[06:06] <everest> @nitishch It's in small case :  ls
[06:07] <lotuspsychje> everest: oh, sorry didnt test if there is one :p
[06:07] <matjam> nitishch: commands are case sensitive.
[06:11] <everest> Hi lotuspsychje, It works..!! On wayland
[06:12] <lotuspsychje> !yay | everest
[06:12] <lotuspsychje> everest: time for a new !bug :p ( or existing)
[06:12] <everest> thanks.. but why doesnt work with xorg. and I'm little ignorant----- is wayland better or xorg
[06:12] <ca-on-adam> Is there anyone who knows how to stop the thermal shutdown on a buggy sensor?  I have a thermal_zone0 that randomly reports 255 C and the netbook keeps shutting down.
[06:13] <matjam> wayland was considered too buggy to make the default for 18.04
[06:13] <everest> lotuspsychje: so this bug will be reported?
[06:13] <matjam> xorg should be the most compatibile
[06:13] <matjam> you should report it :P
[06:13] <matjam> welcome to the ubuntu community!
[06:13] <everest> ubbottu thanks
[06:14] <lotuspsychje> everest: from a terminal you can report: ubuntu-bug xorg
[06:14] <everest> please tell me in elaborate manner please.

[06:20] <nitishch> matjam: everest: I understand commands are case sensitive. But why would it suggest sl when I ran LS?
[06:24] <ducasse> nitishch: take a look at what the 'sl' package is - 'apt show sl'. it contains a binary called 'LS' also.
[06:24] <guiverc> nitishch, sl is a package ; steam-loco drawn in text that walks across your screen when you mis-type ls - it's not a bug; just not very funny (when you're in a hurry)
[06:25] <everest> nitishch: because ls is already available and installed so sl, I guess :)

[06:37] <matjam> while it's stuck
[06:37] <matjam> you might be able to log in and find out why its stuck
[06:37] <deepfreez> yes, let me try
[06:37] <deepfreez> thanks
[06:38] <matjam> you'd do a ..
[06:38] <matjam> dang
[06:50] <deepfreez> I can't display the text mode to see the errors
[06:51] <deepfreez> :((
[06:51] <deepfreez> ctrl + alt + f3 ... all do nothing
[06:54] <EriC^^> deepfreez: what's the problem?
[06:55] <deepfreez> I just install Ubuntu 18, after install I format a ntfs partition in ext4
[06:56] <deepfreez> after that I sutdown the Ubuntu and turn on
[06:56] <deepfreez> and is loading.. that image with Ubuntu *** ** ****
[06:56] <deepfreez> and after 10 - 15s ... no signal on monitor
[06:56] <doulos05> I just had a similar issue
[06:56] <deepfreez> ctrl + alt + f3 not working
[06:56] <deepfreez> :((
[06:56] <doulos05> deepfreez: Do you get to the GRUB2 screen?
[06:57] <deepfreez> yes
[06:57] <deepfreez> I try to rebuild grub. fdisk
[06:57] <deepfreez> nothing working
[06:57] <doulos05> Select Ubuntu and change quiet to verbose in the bootfile description
[06:57] <doulos05> One sec, I'll give you the exact line
[06:58] <deepfreez> thanks
[06:58] <doulos05> You're looking for a line that has the string  'vmzlinux'
[06:58] <doulos05> From there, you'll get detailed boot up info
[06:58] <TheEagerPadawan> still having the same issues as yesterday
[06:58] <doulos05> In my case, the cause was that a GUI tool had added my NTFS partition to my /etc/fstab file
[06:58] <doulos05> So when I formatted that partition, I couldn't boot.
[06:59] <deepfreez> pff
[06:59] <doulos05> I just used sudo vim /etc/fstab to remove the line pointing to my old ntfs partition.
[06:59] <doulos05> But adding verbose to that line will give you an error message that is detailed enough for troubleshooting.
[06:59] <deepfreez> yes But I need to have ntfs partition or ex4
[07:00] <deepfreez> what is the live?
[07:00] <doulos05> Did you try the reboot? Let us know what the error message is
[07:00] <deepfreez> I edit grub vmzlinux
[07:00] <deepfreez> and what I add in that line
[07:00] <deepfreez> or vmzlinux is the text?
[07:00] <doulos05> /quiet/verbose
[07:00] <ducasse> doulos05: 'vmlinuz'
[07:01] <deepfreez> let me try
[07:01] <doulos05> ducasse: thanks. I'm doing this from memory, so must've had a think-o there
[07:02] <doulos05> Boot up will take longer with this deepfreez because it is going to write out all the messages to your monitor.
[07:02] <paddy_> Anyone here know their way around jack? I'
[07:03] <doulos05> You can safely ignore everything except the last set of error messages.
[07:03] <paddy_> ve got plugged in headphones working but my laptop speakers don't work when I unplug the headphones
[07:04] <ducasse> paddy_: you should probably try #ubuntustudio about jack
[07:04] <paddy_> ducasse: thanks
[07:05] <doulos05> Any luck ducasse?
[07:07] <ducasse> doulos05: you want deepfreez, not me, but he left
[07:08] <doulos05> oh, whoops, lol
[07:08] <doulos05> I've got ignore parts set on all my channels because it was too much noise
[07:08] <doulos05> Looks like I might need to unset that
[07:11] <matjam> doulos05: irssi has a nice script for only ignoring people who don't actively speak
[07:11] <matjam> smartfilter.pl
[07:13] <doulos05> matjam: Cool! I'm literally just starting out with IRC/irss
[07:14] <doulos05> I haven't gotten to playing around with scripts/etc yet.
[07:15] <matjam> https://github.com/lifeforms/irssi-smartfilter
[07:15] <matjam> it doesn't get rid of the noise but it does reduce it
[07:16] <doulos05> As long as it improves the signal:noise ratio on busy channels without killing signal like "that guy you're talking to just left", I'll take it.
[07:18] <matjam> seems to work :-)
[07:36] <SSMAdmin> Good morning all.  I run 'ubuntu-drivers devices' to find the best drivers for my graphic card, but the command returns absolutely nothing.  The command seems to 'working with something' for a few seconds, but then just return to a clean command prompt
[07:39] <EriC^^> SSMAdmin: what's the output of "lspci | grep -A4 VGA" ?
[07:39] <SSMAdmin> When I run: 'glxinfo | grep "OpenGL version"' I get 'Error: unable to open display'
[07:39] <EriC^^> SSMAdmin: what's the output of "lspci -k | grep -A4 VGA" ?
[07:39] <EriC^^> SSMAdmin: what about 'sudo lshw -c video" ?
[07:40] <SSMAdmin> Hi EriC^^ output of first command is: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RV770 [Radeon HD 4850]
[07:40] <SSMAdmin>         Subsystem: PC Partner Limited / Sapphire Technology RV770 [Radeon HD 4850]

[07:40] <EriC^^> !paste | SSMAdmin
[07:42] <EriC^^> SSMAdmin: try "LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo"
[07:42] <SSMAdmin> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/2jY3zsS5j6/
[07:43] <TheEagerPadawan> still having the same issues as yesterday - posted the whole story here to not overly spam the channel - https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/4wwXmYmJ9t/
[07:43] <EriC^^> everything seems fine SSMAdmin , it's using the radeon driver and the site says it should support the card
[07:43] <EriC^^> SSMAdmin: what about the last command?
[07:43] <SSMAdmin> Last command said: "Error: unable to open display"
[07:44] <EriC^^> SSMAdmin: try "export DISPLAY=:0" then run the command
[07:45] <SSMAdmin> Then I got "No protocol specified" followed by Error: unable to open display :0
[07:47] <cfhowlett> !cosmic
[07:47] <EriC^^> SSMAdmin: what's your hostname?
[07:48] <EriC^^> try "hostname"
[07:48] <SSMAdmin> Its private :-)
[07:49] <SSMAdmin> hostname is correct configured
[07:49] <SSMAdmin> why do you ask about hostname?
[07:49] <EriC^^> SSMAdmin: ok, try echo -e "[keyfile]\nhostname = <your hostname>" | sudo tee -a /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
[07:50] <EriC^^> https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=684936#p684936
[07:52] <SSMAdmin> ok, done
[07:52] <EriC^^> try rebooting
[07:55] <SSMAdmin> EriC^^, ok, rebooted
[07:56] <ANAND> Greetings everyone, when I was still a linux-newbie a couple of months ago, I had installed Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and it's GNOME flavor separately (instead of just the DE). I want to uninstall the GNOME-variant Ubuntu now, and I'd like to know how to boot to Ubuntu Unity's GRUB. Any help is much appreciated, thanks.
[07:56] <EriC^^> SSMAdmin: any luck?
[07:57] <cfhowlett> ANAND, 18.4 has gnome as the default DE.  and ... UNITY's grub?  are grub menu's DE specific now?
[07:57] <EriC^^> ANAND: sudo apt-get install gparted , remove the partition for ubuntu gnome
[07:58] <ANAND> cfhowlett, the issue is that I installed GNOME as a complete OS, instead of just the DE
[07:58] <EriC^^> ANAND: actually, can you run "sudo parted -ls | nc termbin.com 9999" and share the link?
[07:58] <ANAND> EriC^^, ok
[07:59] <ANAND> EriC^^, http://termbin.com/nbdi
[08:00] <ANAND> What does it do, by the way?
[08:00] <SSMAdmin> EriC^^, still nothing when I run ubuntu-drivers devices
[08:00] <EriC^^> SSMAdmin: is the fx command working?
[08:00] <EriC^^> ANAND: it shows the partition tables
[08:01] <ANAND> EriC^^, I just figured it out, thx
[08:01] <ANAND> the parted ls that is... ;)
[08:01] <EriC^^> ANAND: also share the link of "df | nc termbin.com 9999"
[08:01] <SSMAdmin> EriC^^, sorry, I don't know what is the "fx command"?
[08:02] <EriC^^> SSMAdmin: LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo
[08:02] <ANAND> EriC^^, http://termbin.com/9fgc
[08:03] <SSMAdmin> EriC^^, thanks, and no, still same result as earlier, I got "No protocol specified" followed by Error: unable to open display :0
[08:03] <EriC^^> ANAND: it looks like /dev/sda8 is the ubuntu gnome partition, you're booted in ubunty unity right now correct?
[08:03] <ANAND> yes correct
[08:04] <EriC^^> SSMAdmin: hmm, type 'sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf' and undo the changes we made (remove the last 2 lines starting with [keyfile])
[08:04] <ANAND> And grub is loaded from /dev/sda8
[08:04] <EriC^^> ANAND: also please share "swapon -s | nc termbin.com 9999"
[08:05] <ANAND> EriC^^, http://termbin.com/fppi
[08:05] <EriC^^> ANAND: ok, are you ready the remove the ubuntu gnome or you need any files from it still?
[08:05] <SSMAdmin> EriC^^, I only found one extra entry in there, it was the keyfile
[08:06] <SSMAdmin> should there be a second one?
[08:06] <EriC^^> SSMAdmin: there should be 2 lines, [keyfile] then hostname= below it
[08:07] <EriC^^> (?)
[08:07] <ANAND> EriC^^, it's ready for uninstallation IIRC, but gimme a minute to confirm
[08:07] <SSMAdmin> yes, there was two lines, keyfile and hostname,
[08:07] <EriC^^> ANAND: ok
[08:07] <SSMAdmin> delete and reboot?
[08:07] <EriC^^> SSMAdmin: yup
[08:08] <ANAND> EriC^^, confirmed
[08:09] <SSMAdmin> EriC^^, rebooted
[08:09] <EriC^^> ANAND: do you have an ubuntu live usb?
[08:09] <ANAND> EriC^^, I just wiped it a week ago :/
[08:10] <ANAND> Is it necessary
[08:10] <ANAND> ?
[08:10] <cfhowlett> if you use ubuntu you should ALWAYS have a boot USB available
[08:10] <EriC^^> ANAND: not really, we can do it from the install as well
[08:10] <ANAND> you have a point
[08:10] <ANAND> ah nice!
[08:11] <EriC^^> ANAND: first let's make a backup of the current partition table, "sudo parted /dev/sda unit s print | nc termbin.com 9999"
[08:12] <ANAND> EriC^^, http://termbin.com/pea82
[08:12] <EriC^^> ANAND: ok, type "sudo grub-install --recheck /dev/sda && sudo update-grub"
[08:14] <ANAND> Done
[08:14] <EriC^^> ANAND: ok, type "sudo cfdisk /dev/sda"
[08:15] <ANAND> ok
[08:16] <EriC^^> ANAND: choose the /dev/sda8 partition it's 22gb in size, and at the bottom choose "Delete"
[08:16] <ANAND> EriC^^, deleted
[08:16] <EriC^^> also delete the /dev/sda9 swap partition that's 3gb in size
[08:16] <ANAND> ok
[08:17] <ANAND> Done
[08:17] <EriC^^> do you want the space added to your home partition?
[08:18] <ANAND> I'm not sure... I'll leave it for later, if that's ok.
[08:18] <EriC^^> ANAND: ok, no problem
[08:18] <EriC^^> ANAND: choose "Write" and save changes
[08:18] <EriC^^> then quit and type "sudo update-grub"
[08:19] <ANAND> It says (this might destroy data)
[08:19] <ANAND> Shall I proceed?
[08:19] <VTCoder> ERIC^^ can we increase the size of ubuntu partition without reinstalling ubuntu?
[08:19] <EriC^^> yes
[08:19] <EriC^^> VTCoder: yes
[08:19] <EriC^^> ANAND: before typing sudo update-grub, type "sudo partprobe"
[08:19] <VTCoder> ERIC^^ how?
[08:19] <ANAND> ok... done!
[08:20] <EriC^^> ANAND: ok try rebooting
[08:21] <EriC^^> VTCoder: delete the partition, recreate it at the same starting sector with a bigger size, then use resize2fs to grow the filesystem
[08:21] <ANAND> partprobe says that the kernel can't be notified of the changes though, should I reboot before update-grub?
[08:22] <VTCoder> ERIC^^ I want to increase the size of ubuntu main partition itself
[08:22] <EriC^^> ANAND: it's ok, reboot, then after it boots run update-grub again and it should list only ubuntu unity in grub
[08:22] <EriC^^> VTCoder: yes you can, you can even do it while ubuntu is running
[08:22] <VTCoder> ok.. trying now
[08:22] <EriC^^> VTCoder: wait
[08:23] <EriC^^> VTCoder: do you have a live usb?
[08:23] <VTCoder> I have
[08:23] <EriC^^> use a live usb
[08:23] <ANAND> EriC^^, so Unity's grub will automagickally be detected after reboot?
[08:24] <EriC^^> ANAND: yeah, the grub-install command puts the bootcode in the start of the disk, and update-grub makes a new grub configuration (menu)
[08:25] <ANAND> Ah, ok... I'll be back after the reboot then
[08:26] <EriC^^> VTCoder: make a copy of the disk partitions before you start, incase something goes wrong, sudo parted /dev/sdX unit s print"
[08:30] <VTCoder> ERIC^^ thanks
[08:30] <EriC^^> np
[08:30] <EriC^^> brb
[08:31] <VTCoder> ERIC^^ bad recursion brb ?
[08:36] <SSMAdmin> EriC^^, any more ideas about my graphic card issue?
[08:38] <ANAND> EriC^^, I was directly taken to Unity's boot screen, I did not get the grub menu at all
[08:39] <ANAND> Shall I proceed with update-grub?
[08:40] <netochka> I forgot what i was going to ask :/
[08:40] <ANAND> lol
[08:41] <netochka> pretty absurd huh
[08:41] <clownfishhuman> anyone here using syncthing?
[08:41] <ANAND> netochka, mentally trace back along what you were doing, and you might remember it again ;)
[08:42] <netochka> ANAND, the problem is i was staring at my monitor and all of a sudden i thought hey, let's go and ask THAT. by the time i opened irc, whooosshhh, gone
[08:42] <ilyaigpetrov> Hi. How to check which package installed package X in aptitude?
[08:42] <ANAND> XD
[08:42] <netochka> oh ok. it came back to me
[08:43] <netochka> How would i add a snap software appear in the launcher. 18.04
[08:43] <netochka> :D there!
[08:44] <netochka> i like kasparov more btw :P
[08:44] <ANAND> Run the software, right-click it's launcher icon, and select "Lock to launcher"
[08:45] <ANAND> That should work if I understood your question correctly... ;)
[08:45] <netochka> I know, that "lock to launcher" option is only available for certain apps, i want to do that with the Telegram client but that doesn have such option. it's installed in snap folder
[08:46] <ANAND> "only available for certain apps" <--- wait, what? I never knew! O_O
[08:46] <netochka> so i have to Search it or look it up, and when it's minimized, it goes into the top bar
[08:47] <netochka> Yepp. I figure it's because i didn't install it via software center or terminal and i've downloaded the app
[08:47] <netochka> something like that maybe
[08:47] <ANAND> Strange...
[08:48] <netochka> there is however a version of Telegram available in the software center, but i donno if that is legit or not, as there is no mention of it in their website ^^
[08:48] <blackflow> wait. you "downloaded" the snap? from where?
[08:49] <ANAND> EriC^^, updated grub, I'll check using Grub Customizer.
[08:49] <netochka> not the snap. i "thought" this is happening because the program sits there after installation.
[08:50] <blackflow> netochka: you're now giving contradicting information. you asked "How would i add a snap software appear in the launcher". so then you're not talking about a snap app?
[08:50] <netochka> U see, when i open the software, and right click on it on the launcher, in order to lock it, there is no "lock to launcher"
[08:51] <netochka> I thought the Telegram i downloaded would count as snap app. sorry for making it complicated.
[08:51] <blackflow> no. a "snap app" is the one you install with "snap install telegram"
[08:51] <blackflow> or from the software center
[08:51] <netochka> aha. sorry.
[08:52] <netochka> how would i lock this particular software to launcher? it doesn' have that option when i right click on it
[08:52] <blackflow> as fort he missing "lock to launcher" problem, I think it's because the .desktop file is missing something, and I can't remember what now. I had that issue with PyCharm which I installed manually before the snap became available.
[08:52] <netochka> i see
[08:52] <blackflow> it required some change to the .desktop file to make the launcher fully aware of it and "enable" the lock function. but I cna't remember what was it.
[08:53] <sebastian> hello
[08:53] <blackflow> netochka: but uh, if I were you, I'd go ahead and use the actual telegram snap. afaik, snaps are verified and curated, not randomly added by people.
[08:53] <sebastian> hi
[08:53] <netochka> blackflow, and u also had this problem with only 1 particular software? right?
[08:53] <blackflow> netochka: the one I manually built the .desktop file for, yes.
[08:54] <netochka> I see
[08:55] <netochka> blackflow, speaking of which, I also wanted to install riseup vpn from software center. but when i asked them about it, they didn't know about that app.
[08:55] <cfhowlett> "them"?
[08:55] <netochka> the support team on riseup website
[08:56] <netochka> i asked if that app is legit and related to them, the guy who answered the ticket said he doesn't know anything about it
[08:56] <netochka> so i'm kinda confused right now
[08:56] <cfhowlett> asked and answered I'd say
[08:57] <netochka> it was a private support ticket, couldn't be answered by just anyone
[08:58] <ANAND> I don't think the missing "Lock to launcher" option has anything to do with a messed-up .desktop file
[08:58] <cfhowlett> and yet he had no idea.  suggests the app isn't legit, does it not?
[08:58] <netochka> anyody*
[08:58] <ANAND> true ^
[08:59] <netochka> cfhowlett, i think it would suggest otherwise, wouldn't a person who is providing support know about the existence of such app if it was published by them?
[08:59] <cfhowlett> that is PRECISELY what I said
[08:59] <netochka> besides, there is no mention of it in the help center and the instructions as to how set up that vpn.
[08:59] <netochka> oh
[08:59] <netochka> sorry. i misread your text
[08:59] <netochka> my bad
[08:59] <ANAND> haha
[09:00]  * cfhowlett deactivates hexchat headsmack trigger
[09:01] <netochka> but blackflow tells me that apps in the software center are verified and curated and not put on randomly by people. am i missing something here?
[09:02] <blackflow> although it seems poorly implemented, if you research it a bit you can see that:  riseup-vpn is done by LEAP, and they do Bitmask, which is indirectly supported by Riseup through the FAQ for Riseup Black.
[09:02] <cfhowlett> nope.  sounds like your app is poorly supported.  chose an alternate
[09:02] <blackflow> netochka: well that's my understanding, and also the reason why there are no random snap stores, but only the one Snapcraft.io.
[09:02] <netochka> i see
[09:02] <blackflow> you can't install a snap from anywhere else, except from a file with --dangerous flag added to it.
[09:03] <blackflow> or what was the flag...
[09:03] <ANAND> I gtg, bye! :)
[09:03] <netochka> ty guys
[09:05] <blackflow> it's also that the official thread on adding custom stores seems to suggest that's not gonna happen, and that snaps are curated: https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/external-repositories/1760
[09:09] <netochka> ty. it became more clear
[09:12] <zergut> hello, how to watch HLS stream on linux without browser?
[09:12] <cfhowlett> vlc should be able to handle that zergut
[09:13] <zergut> ok, thank you i will try
[09:13] <Borw3> ANybody able to get packettracer to work on ubuntu 18.04?
[09:15] <SuperEngineer> _Why _do _so _many _users _of _this _channel _think _it _neccesary [_or _cool _?] _to _begin _their _nick _with "_" _?
[09:15] <Borw3> Please anybody have success with packettracer on ubuntu 18.04?
[09:17] <sebastian_> hi
[09:18] <Borw3> Please anybody have success with packettracer on ubuntu 18.04?
[09:18] <netochka> i would have add symbols to my nick if it were possible
[09:18] <ducasse> !patience | Borw3
[09:18] <SuperEngineer> !patience
[09:20] <nikolam> What do you use as unixODBC GUI now? I see there is no GUI for ODBC database connections now in Ubuntu?
[09:20] <zergut> cfhowlett: no, looks like it cant handle it
[09:21] <cfhowlett> give me the stream url zergut
[09:21] <zergut> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQWXjzBgekU
[09:24] <cfhowlett> I get the thumbnail but frozen image, zergut.  Same for you?
[09:24] <zergut> yeah
[09:24] <nikolam> All I see is non-GUI text driver installer, "odbcinst" for unixODBC
[09:26] <cfhowlett> zergut, I ran it from command line: vlc youtubeaddress
[09:26] <cfhowlett> lots of demux errors.
[09:26] <blackflow> DRM enabled? that's a live stream, iirc those require DRM in FF
[09:26] <blackflow> cause it plays for me just fine. someone playing quake.
[09:27] <zergut> blackflow: what are you using?
[09:27] <fadsa> hi
[09:27] <blackflow> firefox
[09:27] <cfhowlett> even the ffox is choppy
[09:27] <fadsa> excuse me, can i ask a question?
[09:28] <zergut> do you think problem is on streamer side?
[09:28] <blackflow> nope.
[09:28] <cfhowlett> zergut, could be but the fact that vlc partially launched suggests something else especially with all the errors
[09:29] <blackflow> !ask | fadsa
[09:29] <fadsa> ok, thanks
[09:29] <zergut> and btw how to restore entire deleted folder?
[09:30] <fadsa> what can i view the filesystem of a sd card?
[09:30] <fadsa> how can i view the filesystem of a sd card?
[09:30] <cfhowlett> zergut, easy test: stream to a different site, e.g. vimeo or twitch
[09:31] <nikolam> seems like it is called /usr/bin/ODBCManageDataSourcesQ4 (GUI for ODBC)
[09:32] <fadsa> How can i know the file system of an sd card?
[09:33] <BionicMac> fadsa: First check what the device is. 'tail -f /var/log/syslog' then take your sd card out. put it back in. Watch the tail log and you will know the device. You need that first if the desktop is not automagically notifying you when you insert it.
[09:34] <fadsa> mm
[09:35] <fadsa> What do you mean by device?
[09:35] <netochka> your sd card
[09:36] <nikolam> but ODBCManageDataSourcesQ4 says "Could not construct a property list for (SQLite)" , even it sees manually added source in ~/.odbc.ini
[09:36] <BionicMac> you need to know the deivice name. What the kernel/os is calling it to work with it. You will something like dev whatever. I am not sure of the device names for sd cards but you will see the log clearly when you remove/insert it.
[09:37] <fadsa> is /dev/sdc
[09:37] <BionicMac> fadsa: So what do you want to do? Work with files on it?
[09:37] <nikolam> manually added source in ~/.odbc.ini works with LibreOffice to access SqLite database (like Firefox places database) , yet would like to have working GUI instead of editing it manually in ~/.odbc.ini for every .sqlite database
[09:37] <fadsa> no, i don't
[09:38] <fadsa> i want to know what filesystem is
[09:38] <BionicMac> fadsa: 'fdisk -l /dev/sdc' is a start.
[09:40] <netochka> i wish there was a command to stop me from falling asleep
[09:40] <fadsa> yes, i type that before
[09:41] <fadsa> but not helop
[09:41] <fadsa> help
[09:41] <fadsa> when i type dmeg...
[09:41] <fadsa> dmesg
[09:42] <blackflow> fadsa: df -T shows filesystems for each device
[09:42] <BionicMac> fadsa: so tyep 'sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdc' that should show you the partitions. if any. like /dev/sda1,2,3..
[09:43] <fadsa> d 6:0:0:0: [sdc] No Caching mode page found [  159.125123] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdc] Assuming drive cache: write through
[09:43] <schnoodles> What would cause a livecd (a couple different operating systems and usb sticks) to keep on freezing making it impossible to install ?
[09:44] <BionicMac> fadsa: type 'sudo blkid | grep sdc'
[09:44] <fadsa> df says "No file system has been processed"
[09:45] <MonkeyDust> schnoodles  old hardware
[09:46] <blackflow> fadsa: sudo file -s /dev/sdc
[09:46] <nikolam> hah, point with ODBCManageDataSourcesQ4 GUi is that window for selecting Data Sources types is too small initially, to display all types and there is only the SQLite3 type installed. But when selecting SQLite3, then it says : "Could not write to (~/.odbc.ini)", unless you give database name in the form and the exact location of .sqlite  database file. So it's not GUI's fault, it is more the lack of the Menu icon for ODBCManageDataSourcesQ4
[09:47] <schnoodles> MonkeyDust it is still a beasty laptop. Definitely not old hardware unless the hardware has been corrupted somehow. This is all because of the upgrade to 18.04 :\
[09:47] <nikolam> Ont he GUI part, it is default window hight if there is more ODBC database Drivers and lack of informative error instead of just "not able to write to .ini file"
[09:47] <fadsa> blkid grep says vfat
[09:47] <BionicMac> blkid gives filesystem tyoe.
[09:47] <BionicMac> fadsa: then that is vfat
[09:48] <kostkon> fadsa, not surprises here
[09:48] <cfhowlett> schnoodles, but 16.04 worked?
[09:48] <SSMAdmin> I have a OpenVPN server which I used while on Ubuntu 16.04.  After upgrading to 18.04, the 18.04 will no longer import my *.ovpn configuration file in Network settings - VPN.  It gives an "error" message saying "The plugin does not support import capability".  This even if it has a import dialog box
[09:49] <fadsa> where can i paste?
[09:49] <nikolam> and obviously one needs to dig for /usr/bin/ODBCCreateDataSourceQ4 from unixodbc-bin package contents
[09:49] <BionicMac> fadsa: It is probably already mounted in /media/$USER/some-name  .. do a 'df' and look for any /dev/sdc? entries.
[09:49] <kostkon> fadsa, paste.ubuntu.com
[09:49] <cfhowlett> !paste | fadsa
[09:50] <fadsa> https://paste.ubuntu.com/
[09:51] <cfhowlett> fadsa, open that url.  paste your output in screen.
[09:51] <fadsa> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/5PqY9kjvxM/
[09:52] <BionicMac> SSMAdmin: 'apt-cache policy openvpn' see if it installed.
[09:52] <fadsa> last two sentences in red
[09:53] <BionicMac> fadsa: common output. It relly means nithing.
[09:53] <BionicMac> nothing*
[09:53] <BionicMac> I get the same error on several drives and they work fine.
[09:54] <fadsa> ok
[09:54] <fadsa> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/X4RX3k57r3/
[09:55] <fadsa> i can't open this sd with windows
[09:55] <BionicMac> fadsa: ok. that tells me you need to access /dev/sdc1 to work with it in Linux. WIndows should see it. vfat is a windows ilesystem.
[09:56] <fadsa> mm
[09:56] <fadsa> isn't vfat then.
[09:56] <kanun> hi i am new to ubuntu 18.04 certainly migrated from windows . i want to apply a theme how to do this ?
[09:57] <BionicMac> kanun: standard Ubuntu or Kubuntu?
[09:57] <kanun> ubuntu
[09:57] <kanun> gnome
[09:57] <BionicMac> not postive but.. probably in preferences.
[09:57] <fadsa> windows forces me to format
[09:58] <BionicMac> hit your windows key on the keyboard nd start typing this 'theme' it should lead you right to it.
[09:58] <fadsa> i read that maybe is udf
[09:58] <fadsa> udf filesystem
[09:58] <royal_screwup21> When I try to sudo-get-install a package, I hit this error: "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem." -- what does this mean, and how do I fix it without going into secure boot?
[09:58] <royal_screwup21> (I'm on linux, ubuntu 16.04)
[09:58] <MonkeyDust> kanun  right click on the desktop > change background > go to the base screen > themes
[09:58] <BionicMac> fadsa: get the data off the card (backup) on linux before you stick t on a windows machine then.
[09:58] <kanun> ok trying .
[09:59] <kanun> another questions . i want 5 separate local disk partitions in mu ubuntu but unable to do that.
[09:59] <kanun> i have only home folder with me and a system partition n
[10:00] <BionicMac> kanun: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowtoPartition
[10:00] <MonkeyDust> kanun  you can go up to 4 primary partitions, so you have to create 3 primary + 1 logacal partition
[10:00] <fadsa> i can view files with dolphin explorer
[10:01] <BionicMac> fadsa: perfect! =) smile and celebrate.
[10:01] <kanun> ok . where can i install radeon r5 graphics drivers ?? i dont find any ?
[10:01] <fadsa> but, i want to know what filesystem is
[10:01] <BionicMac> kanun: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver
[10:02] <kanun> ok thank u
[10:02] <BionicMac> kanun: You're welcome.
[10:02] <BionicMac> fadsa: You know. vfat. end of story.
[10:03] <fadsa> isn't vfat
[10:03] <BionicMac> fadsa: # sudo blkid | grep sdc
[10:03] <BionicMac> /dev/sdc1: UUID="20AB-F614" TYPE="vfat"
[10:03] <BionicMac> fadsa: your paste dude.
[10:03] <fadsa> i know
[10:04] <MonkeyDust> kanun  just checked, you have to install 'themes', first
[10:04] <BionicMac> If you are having fickle trouble with it, back it up, reformat it. Save your data first.
[10:04] <BionicMac> fadsa: ^
[10:04] <MonkeyDust> (i'm not using ubuntu atm, had to check)
[10:05] <BionicMac> fadsa: If you want to use it on Windows and Linux then use vfat.
[10:05] <fadsa> windows can't read it
[10:05] <fadsa> force me to format
[10:06] <BionicMac> fadsa: I am saying man. If you are having trouble with it like that... then back it up on Linux .. then reformt it on linux to VFAT , fresh clean reformat.
[10:06] <BionicMac> fadsa: save your data first.
[10:06] <fadsa> windows disk manager show raw filesystem
[10:06] <BionicMac> fadsa: well you need to check in #windows then.
[10:07] <BionicMac> fadsa: I am giving you the answer three times.
[10:07] <fadsa> i can't do that
[10:07] <noobFirstday> ubuntu wont start after dual boot install
[10:07] <fadsa> this sd card works with a machine
[10:08] <fadsa> and i need to know what filesystem is to format
[10:08] <spikebike> fadsa: #1 backup the card, #2 format it under windows, #3 be happy
[10:08] <cfhowlett> #4 don't worry
[10:09] <guiverc> :)
[10:09] <BionicMac> #5. have a beer.
[10:09] <lapaga> #4 should be before #3
[10:09] <petaflot> hello! I just upgraded to 18.04 and realized (with great pain) that neither lightdm, xdm, gdm, slim or even kdm can be found in apt. so.. what display manager should I use?
[10:09] <BionicMac> #5 is #1
[10:09] <fadsa> i don't what to format anything
[10:10] <spikebike> petaflot: how about the default?
[10:10] <fadsa> nothing*
[10:10] <guiverc> lapaga, we all read it that way I bet ... i wish BionicMac
[10:10] <petaflot> spikebike: it was xubuntu ; the default _was_ lightdm but it stopped working after the upgrade. so what is the new default?
[10:11] <spikebike> gdm
[10:11] <petaflot> spikebike: unable to locate package gdm.
[10:11] <guiverc> gdm3
[10:11] <MonkeyDust> !find gdm
[10:11] <lapaga> fadsa, i am sure it will not say anything different but have you tried gparted or disks?
[10:12] <fadsa> i tried gparted
[10:12] <noobFirstday> ubuntu wont start after dual boot install
[10:12] <petaflot> guiverc: looks a little better, but still not good enough: no installation candidates
[10:12] <MonkeyDust> noobFirstday  what happesn when you try
[10:13] <noobFirstday> i boot into windows
[10:13] <petaflot> MonkeyDust: your bot refers to artful. this is bionic
[10:13] <MonkeyDust> !find gdm bionic
[10:13] <guiverc> https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/gdm3  (you said 18.04 i believe)
[10:14] <kostkon> petaflot, pastebin your sources.list
[10:14] <fadsa> When I start gparted, it says: you can not partition off the disk
[10:14] <kostkon> petaflot, cat /etc/apt/sources.list
[10:15] <BionicMac> noobFirstday: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot
[10:15] <noobFirstday> i already have that opened in atab
[10:15] <noobFirstday> but
[10:15] <noobFirstday> its not helping
[10:15] <noobFirstday> thats why im here
[10:15] <MonkeyDust> noobFirstday  keep it in one line
[10:16] <petaflot> http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Yz5dG97P6f
[10:17] <lapaga> sounds like grub needs to be updated
[10:18] <kostkon> petaflot, you could try selecting a different mirror in software & updates
[10:19] <noobFirstday> this has to be the worst support ever
[10:19] <petaflot> kostkon: actually I can't use the way you suggest, I just used "startx", desktop shows but not the menu
[10:19] <cfhowlett> you do realize we are all unpaid volunteers?  users like you?  petaflot
[10:20] <MonkeyDust> cfhowlett  i guess that was for noobFirstday
[10:20] <guiverc> noobFirstday, go and use a paid support service then
[10:20] <cfhowlett> doh!  yes.  sorry.
[10:20] <BionicMac> noobFirstday: Dual booting has many caveats. It isn't a one-fix-solution. It is usually an issue if you haven't done it before.
[10:20] <petaflot> cfhowlett: actually, since cannonical is a company, I did suppose that _some_ of you would be cannonical employees. did I say anything wrong?
[10:20] <BionicMac> guiverc: =)
[10:21] <cfhowlett> petaflot, easy alternative: install virtualbox in windows.  install ubuntu to virtualbox.  done
[10:22] <petaflot> cfhowlett: oh that is sweet. windows runs to a crawl on this box. I wouldn't imagine running another OS in a VM
[10:22] <petaflot> cfhowlett: my "easy alternative" would be "get rid of ubuntu definitely and never install it ever again"
[10:22] <cfhowlett> ahhh, right, then. plan 2: install ubuntu.  add vbox.  install windows to vbox.
[10:22] <cfhowlett> ... and I'm officially out of this discussion
[10:23] <MonkeyDust> out of ideas
[10:23] <petaflot> .. and stick to gentoo, arch, or why not even slackware
[10:23] <noobFirstday> i thought this place would be more welcoming as i read ubuntu to be a noob distro. going back to windows ;)
[10:24] <blackflow> petaflot: gentoo ++  :)
[10:24] <BionicMac> petaflot: cfhowlett was speaking to noobFirstday.
[10:25] <petaflot> BionicMac: uh, thanks. that's now how I had understood it
[10:25] <BionicMac> wow .. edgy customers tonight. We are willing to help, but you have to help us help you.
[10:25] <petaflot> blackflow: well.. that computer is not mine.. can't really expect a more-than-noob to use and manage a gentoo box :-/
[10:27] <petaflot> kostkon: were you suggesting that my sources.list seems correct (but that the mirror itself could be faulty?) (juste to make sure)
[10:28] <lapaga> petaflot,  what does apt list lightdm say?
[10:28] <petaflot> lapaga: just says nothign found
[10:28] <lapaga> or xdm or gdm3
[10:29] <petaflot> lapaga: xdm: finds libxdmcp6
[10:29] <zenofpython> pls am trying to update and i got this https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/KzkRXrzvfP/ someone help here?
[10:29] <petaflot> lapaga: gdm3: no results
[10:30] <MonkeyDust> zenofpython  i guess yakkety is eol
[10:30] <cfhowlett> errr just a bit dead
[10:30] <MonkeyDust> !yakkety
[10:30] <BionicMac> Is anyone looking at this before upgrading? :: -. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BionicBeaver/ReleaseNotes
[10:31] <cfhowlett> zenofpython, you must install a supported version.  16.04 is LTS as is 18.04.  18.04 just came out.
[10:31] <zenofpython> OK, i got to remove it then
[10:31] <cfhowlett> BionicMac, notes?  we don't read no stinking notes!
[10:33] <petaflot> BionicMac: I did read the release notes.. only _after_ I ran into problems (my bad, I guess). just did the way I always did: update, upgrate, update dist in sources.list, update, dist-upgrade. usually works
[10:35]  * petaflot set the mirror to ftp://mirror.switch.ch fixed some errors already, got some packages to upgrade.. looks like ch.ubuntu.com is broken. thank you canonical
[10:36] <BionicMac> petaflot: Upgrades from 16.04 LTS will not be enabled until a few days after 18.04.1's release expected in late July.
[10:37] <petaflot> BionicMac: out of curiosity, have you anything to do with canonical?
[10:37] <petaflot> except, of course, sitting on the ubuntu channel
[10:38] <MonkeyDust> petaflot  we're all volunteers
[10:38] <petaflot> got it. anyway, I must go (and hurry up)
[10:38] <BionicMac> Peanut: That is a pretty clear statement that coanonical has on the link I posted. 18.04 Release Notes.
[10:38] <petaflot> will leave the update running and comme back if needed
[10:38] <BionicMac> err petaflot ^^
[10:39] <petaflot> thanks for you time and enjoy your sunday
[10:39] <Assid> hi
[10:39] <Assid> so i would like to move from 17.04 to 18.04 LTS
[10:40] <cfhowlett> !eolupgrade | Assid
[10:41] <petaflot> actually I'll come back and let you know how it happened. I wouldn't have thought one of ubuntu's official mirrors would be broken
[10:42] <cfhowlett> petaflot, they have to be maintained.  usually, they self correct within hours and life continues
[10:43] <ducasse> petaflot: you cam ask/report it in #ubuntu-mirrors
[11:01] <raoshuang> hi
[11:01] <raoshuang> 你们好
[11:01] <Nitrigaur> KVM Virtual Machine Manager complains that SpiceClientGtk is missing when starting VM with graphical GUI, but it show as having been installed (Ubuntu 18.04, upgraded from 17.10)
[11:01] <raoshuang> 这是什么
[11:01] <cfhowlett> !cn | raoshuang
[11:01] <raoshuang> ？？
[11:01] <raoshuang> 你能用中文吗
[11:08] <kab0m> How do i change settings like color depth or keyboard layout in KRDC when connecting via VNC?
[11:20] <SSMAdmin> BionicMac, about your answer, to use apt-cache policy openvpn to se if it is installed.  The problem is not on the VPN server, the problem is on my local computer, where I am not able to import the VPN-server generated *.opvn file containing the keys I need to initate a VPN connection to the server
[11:21] <sasho199> Hello, does anyone know how to change resolution, after I use the command xrandr I am given only the option 800x600, while my computer is capable of much higher
[11:21] <SSMAdmin> Here was the problem: I have a OpenVPN server which I used while on Ubuntu 16.04.  After upgrading to 18.04, the 18.04 will no longer import my *.ovpn configuration file in Network settings - VPN.  It gives an "error" message saying "The plugin does not support import capability".  This even if it has a import dialog box
[11:22] <brainwash> sasho199: is that a system with a nvidia gpu? in this case you probably have to install the nvidia driver first
[11:23] <SSMAdmin> Ubuntu 16.04 was my client machine, which was able to import the *.opvn file.  When I upgrade my client machine to 18.04 I am no longer able to import the *.opvn file
[11:23] <sasho199> brainwash: Yes it is, but any nvidia driver causes my computer to go black screen after I install it
[11:24] <brainwash> sasho199: black screen after login? or is the login greeter already not visible?
[11:25] <sasho199> brainwash: after I enter my decryption password, only a black screen with a blinking underline is visible, I am unable to take any action after that
[11:28] <JimBuntu> CTRL+ALT+F2 /etc... does that show the boot process in console?
[11:31] <JimBuntu> SSMAdmin, in the meanwhile, are you able to `sudo openvpn --config /path/to/OVPN/file &` and have a functional VPN session?
[11:37] <sasho199> Can anyone help with black screen after nvidia driver installation?
[11:39] <BluesKaj> Howdy folks
[11:40] <lapaga> sasho199, you can purge the nvidia drivers
[11:42] <sasho199> lapaga: I mean to properly install the driver so I dont get the black screen, is that what you are refering to as well?
[11:43] <lapaga> sasho199, which driver?
[11:44] <sasho199> lapaga: nvidia 390 is what I tried, but got a black screen, now Im running on the nouveau driver but it seems that 800x600 is the only res I get with it
[11:45] <lapaga> http://tipsonubuntu.com/2018/01/31/install-nvidia-390-25-ubuntu-17-10-18-04/
[11:46] <brainwash> check the bug tracker also https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-390
[11:46] <SSMAdmin> JimBuntu, dont' know if you got my last message, I now have a functional VPN connection after running your suggested command: '`sudo openvpn --config /path/to/OVPN/file &`
[11:47] <JimBuntu> SSMAdmin, yay. I did not see your message about it. At least now you can function while you resolve the main issue with it not working from the GUI.
[11:48] <SSMAdmin> JimBuntu, at least I have verified that there is nothing wrong with the *ovpn file
[11:49] <SSMAdmin> JimBuntu, but how and where do I go from here?  It must be a bug in 18.04 somewhere, that make it impossible to import the file?
[11:50] <sasho199> lapaga: Im going to try to install 396 now, hopefully I can remove it through the recovery mode
[11:50] <sasho199> lapaga: if it does not work
[11:50] <JimBuntu> SSMAdmin, I would not doubt that it's a bug. You may be able to work around the issue by locating the directory/file that imports are placed into and manually placing your OVPN info into it
[11:50] <JimBuntu> SSMAdmin, I don't know the first thing about where that is though as I only use OpenVPN from the command line :-(
[11:52] <SSMAdmin> JimBuntu, ok, thanks a lot for your help.  At least I am now able to use VPN when needed :-)
[11:52] <JimBuntu> SSMAdmin, you are welcome, glad I could be of some help.
[12:05] <BluesKaj> SSMAdmin, do you intend use the GUI or the cli ?
[12:06] <sasho199> Can anyone halp with installing nvidia driver, I am getting a blank screen after installing and rebooting the system
[12:07] <brainwash> sasho199: check the bug tracker also https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-390
[12:08] <laptop> hello
[12:08] <brainwash> sasho199: maybe upload log file(s) from inside /var/log/xorg/
[12:08] <brainwash> sasho199: so we can have a look
[12:08] <sasho199> brainwash: How do I do that?
[12:08] <laptop> I wrote a message a few weeks ago indicating that i wanted to install a windows iso from ubuntu and i was told it could not be done without a flash drive or usb drive, i wanted to let you know it can be done with only one hd
[12:08] <JimBuntu> pastebin.com
[12:09] <BluesKaj> oops
[12:11] <sasho199> brainwash: I cant access this chat from the computer that has the nvidia problem, I can only enter recovery mode, what can I do from there to give you the information needed?
[12:11] <laptop> anyone know how to install runescape on ubuntu
[12:13] <brainwash> sasho199: you could uninstall the nvidia driver, reboot and then upload these files
[12:14] <brainwash> sasho199: maybe copy them first somewhere else when in recovery mode, so they don't get overwritten later
[12:14] <sasho199> brainwash: I tried the purge command from recovery, the problem persists afterwards though
[12:15] <brainwash> sasho199: is nouveau still blacklisted?
[12:15] <brainwash> sasho199: check inside /etc/modprobe.d/
[12:17] <sasho199> brainwash: I dont know how to do that
[12:17] <brainwash> sasho199: or if you have a network connection, try with "cat some_file.txt | nc termbin.com 9999"
[12:18] <brainwash> grep nouveau /etc/modprobe.d/*
[12:19] <sasho199> brainwash: I a noobs noob when it comes to this, can you tell me what the first thing I should do is after I enter recovery mode
[12:20] <brainwash> type "grep nouveau /etc/modprobe.d/*" and hit enter
[12:21] <SSMAdmin> BluesKaj, I prefer setting VPN connection in the GUI
[12:21] <Oxx> I cant use wget as user on my shell...how to give privilege from root to user ?
[12:22] <BluesKaj> SSMAdmin, ok
[12:22] <benonsoftware> Oxx: what happens when you try to use wget?
[12:23] <Oxx> benonsoftware: http://dpaste.com/3NF3ZJ9
[12:23] <BluesKaj> SSMAdmin, your VPN provider should have have a method or tutorial how to install the GUI
[12:23] <sasho199> brainwash: ok, done, I get four things - blacklist nouveau,and 3 more. then i get some message saying timed out waiting for some device
[12:25] <benonsoftware> Oxx: It appears that you don't have write access to the folder you're running wget in.
[12:25] <benonsoftware> Are you somewhere in your home folder or elsewhere?
[12:25] <Oxx> benonsoftware: no where :D
[12:25] <Oxx> out of folders :D
[12:26] <brainwash> sasho199: so, nouveau is indeed still blacklisted, and therefore not loaded
[12:26] <benonsoftware> Oxx: Try running "cd ~" (without the quotes) and then running wget again.
[12:26] <sasho199> brainwash: so now what?
[12:26] <Oxx> benonsoftware: nothing..
[12:26] <Oxx> same
[12:27] <benonsoftware> You'd then probably want to contact an admin and asking if you can get write access somewhere.
[12:27] <Oxx> benonsoftware: im an admin :)
[12:27] <benonsoftware> There's not much that you can do to get around that.
[12:27] <brainwash> sasho199: delete that file
[12:27] <Oxx> but i don know how to give permissions
[12:27] <ioria> Oxx, are you root ?
[12:27] <Oxx> ioria yes
[12:27] <sasho199> brainwash: What is the command for that
[12:28] <ioria> Oxx, pwd what says ?
[12:28] <Oxx> ioria: /
[12:28] <brainwash> sasho199: rm /etc/modprobe.d/FILENAME.conf
[12:28] <benonsoftware> Oxx: What's the output of 'echo $HOME'?
[12:28] <SSMAdmin> BluesKaj, I think you misunderstand a bit.  In any Ubuntu client machine, you should be able to import a *opvn file generated by the OpenVPN server somewhere else on the planet. Importing such a file does not need a specific tutorial.  Import function is the same for all
[12:29] <Oxx> benonsoftware: /
[12:29] <brainwash> sasho199: the output of the grep command tells you what file that is
[12:29] <ioria> Oxx, exit from root
[12:29] <SSMAdmin> BluesKaj, the problem here is a bug in 18.04 that make it impossible to import the file
[12:29] <Oxx> ioria im logged in through user acc
[12:30] <ioria> Oxx, ok, drop root
[12:30] <Oxx> what do you mean ?
[12:30] <ioria> Oxx, exit
[12:30] <Oxx> yes ?
[12:30] <ioria> Oxx,  run    id
[12:30] <sasho199> brainwash: I presume FILENAME is the placeholder, I wrote the name I got previously which is: nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf, I got that its a read only file
[12:30] <Oxx> from user acc ?
[12:31] <ioria> Oxx,     id    should return acc
[12:31] <Oxx> done
[12:31] <Oxx> and what now ?
[12:31] <ioria> Oxx,     cd /
[12:31] <Oxx> uid=1000(klej) gid=1000(klej) groups=1000(klej),27(sudo),110(lxd)
[12:31] <ioria> Oxx,     so it's not acc
[12:31] <Oxx> its user acc
[12:31] <ioria> nope
[12:32] <brainwash> sasho199: run "mount -o rw,remount /"
[12:32] <Oxx> ioria how ?
[12:32] <brainwash> sasho199: to make / writable too
[12:32] <ioria> Oxx,     you are klej not acc
[12:32] <Oxx> hm..
[12:32] <Oxx> klej is username
[12:33] <Oxx> i did useradd
[12:33] <ioria> Oxx,     you probably don't have sudo rights
[12:33] <sasho199> brainwash: it told me that special device remount does not exists
[12:33] <Oxx> ioria how to make it
[12:34] <ioria> Oxx,     you need a sudo granted user to give new user sudo right  (or recovery)
[12:34] <Oxx> ioria: how to add tha rights
[12:34] <Oxx> please explain
[12:34] <ioria> Oxx,   firts you need a user with sudo rights
[12:35] <ioria> *first
[12:35] <BluesKaj> SSMAdmin, understood about the file import, i've done it myself using the PIA VPN provider, thier linux support very good. One creates a dir  and uses wget to import the files to your dir.
[12:35] <Oxx> explain how to add it
[12:35] <Oxx> ioria
[12:35] <ioria> Oxx,   grep sudo /etc/group
[12:35] <Oxx> from this acc ?
[12:36] <Oxx> sudo:x:27:klej
[12:36] <Oxx> ioria
[12:36] <ioria> Oxx,   ok, cd /
[12:36] <brainwash> sasho199: sadly, no idea
[12:36] <Oxx> ioria done
[12:36] <sasho199> brainwash: I added asapce that you did not have in there, but I tried it without the space, i think now it worked, but nothing was written after i wrote the command
[12:36] <ioria> Oxx,   sudo wget https://www.unrealircd.org/unrealircd4/unrealircd-4.0.17.tar.gz
[12:37] <sasho199> brainwash: a space*
[12:37] <brainwash> sasho199: so, try the "rm" command again
[12:37] <Oxx> ioria its ok, but when i did tar zxfv Permissions denied :S
[12:38] <sasho199> brainwash: nothing, I treid the grep also, no output
[12:38] <benonsoftware> You'd need to be root (or sudo), whenever you do something with that file.
[12:38] <SSMAdmin> BluesKaj, ok.  I just downloaded the file in Firefox, put it somewhere on my local harddrive, imported it i 16.04, it worked.  I then upgraded to 18.04, tried to import the same file, even a new downloaded file, 18.04 refuses to import the file, giving error message.  Inititating the VPN connection from command line works fine though
[12:38] <brainwash> sasho199: this means that you've successfully removed that .conf file I guess
[12:39] <Oxx> benonsoftware: so what to do now
[12:39] <brainwash> sasho199: and you should be able to boot into the graphical session again
[12:39] <BluesKaj> SSMAdmin, no need to to re-import the file again, the same files on 16.04 should work on 18.04
[12:39] <ioria> Oxx,  you need sudo tar ; but don't do that ... mkdir a folder and decompress
[12:39] <Oxx> i did with sudo tar
[12:40] <Oxx> and now i cant cd to folder...
[12:40] <SSMAdmin> BluesKaj, yes I know, but download a new, just to make sure the old file was not corrupted
[12:40] <BluesKaj> SSMAdmin, FF auto places downloded files in ~/Downloads
[12:40] <benonsoftware> Oxx: You'd want to be root to cd to the folder. I'd advise you to have a read of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions to see if you can sort out your permission problems.
[12:41] <ioria> Oxx,  works here without an issue
[12:41] <Oxx> benonsoftware: bro, only i want is to install unrealircd on user acc and thats all
[12:41] <SSMAdmin> BluesKaj, yes, unless you tell it to place the file elsewhere.  But this is not part of the issue here.  Where the file is put has nothing to do with the importproblem
[12:41] <BluesKaj> SSMAdmin, Ive been using the same .ovpn files in /etc/openvpn since 15.04
[12:42] <benonsoftware> Oxx: Well, as the user klej cd ~
[12:42] <BluesKaj> bbl...
[12:42] <benonsoftware> Oxx: Then what's the output of pwd?
[12:42] <Oxx> benonsoftware
[12:42] <Oxx> nothin
[12:42] <benonsoftware> What do you mean nothing?
[12:42] <Oxx> empty field
[12:43] <Oxx> no output result
[12:43] <benonsoftware> So nothing happens when you enter 'pwd'?
[12:43] <Oxx> cd ~
[12:43] <Oxx> pwd result: /
[12:43] <benonsoftware> And that is as the klej user?
[12:44] <Oxx> benonsoftware: yes
[12:44] <sasho199> brainwash: now reboot doesnt work
[12:44] <benonsoftware> How did you create that account?
[12:45] <Oxx> benonsoftware: useradd
[12:45] <brainwash> sasho199: what does that mean?
[12:45] <brainwash> sasho199: you cannot boot at all now?
[12:45] <ioria> Oxx,  ls /home   ; you probably don't have a klej home
[12:46] <sasho199> brainwash: well normally if I write "reboot" in the recovery mode, the computer restarts, but now does not do anything
[12:46] <Oxx> ls /home
[12:46] <Oxx> pma1gb
[12:46] <benonsoftware> Oxx: You want to run 'mkhomedir_helper klej'
[12:46] <Oxx> ioria
[12:46] <Oxx> benonsoftware no
[12:46] <ioria> Oxx,  useradd != adduser
[12:47] <Oxx> wait
[12:47] <sasho199> brainwash: Seems like no commands work, I can write them but when I press enter I just get a new line
[12:47] <Oxx> adduser= username ?
[12:47] <benonsoftware> Oxx: The reason you don't have a home dir for klej is that when you created the user, you used useradd which needs extra flags for it to create a home dir. However if you had used adduser it does the setup for you. So in the future you should use adduser to create your accounts.
[12:47] <brainwash> sasho199: not much you can do then other than pressing the power button
[12:47] <ioria> Oxx, i always use  adduser  because takes care of everything
[12:47] <brainwash> sasho199: no idea why it happened
[12:48] <Oxx> benonsoftware: please wait
[12:48] <benonsoftware> Oxx: mkhomedir_help will setup a home dir for klej and add it to /etc/passwd
[12:48] <sasho199> brainwash: some commands do work, like echo or help
[12:48] <brainwash> sasho199: does "dmesg" work?
[12:49] <Oxx> benonsoftware: no im logged in as root, so what to do now
[12:49] <sasho199> brainwash: yes, I got hundreds of lines as output
[12:49] <cfhowlett> root or administrator Oxx
[12:49] <Oxx> root
[12:50] <benonsoftware> Oxx: Run 'mkhomedir_help klej', then you'd be able to login as klej and download unreal in the home dir.
[12:50] <Oxx> mkhomedir_help: command not found
[12:50] <sasho199> brainwash: last line says remounted, opts: errors=remount-ro
[12:50] <brainwash> sasho199: maybe try "systemctl reboot"
[12:51] <brainwash> sasho199: could give you some more info in case it fails
[12:51] <Oxx> benonsoftware: command not found
[12:52] <SSMAdmin> ioria, yesterday you helped med change the system (18.04 server) from networkd to Network Manager to have control of my network connections. Could my current problem with errors when importing a working *.ovpn file be related to yesterdays problem with networkd/Network Manager? (reposted this as I now lost connection)
[12:52] <benonsoftware> Oxx: What version of Ubuntu are you running?
[12:53] <sasho199> brainwash: did not work, I got: Transaction is destructive
[12:53] <brainwash> sasho199: oh boy.. this whole recovery thing seems to be a never ending story
[12:53] <Zteam> Hi all! just a small question. I have a shared folder (shared from Ubuntu via Samba) I shared this folder from nautilus and did uncheck "allow other to write to this folder", yet I can still write a new folder from another computer on my network?
[12:53] <benonsoftware> Oxx: Oh, sorry I typo'd it. Should be 'mkhomedir_helper klej'.
[12:54] <Zteam> this is on Ubuntu 18.04, why is this happening?
[12:54] <sasho199> brainwash: previously I just reinstalled ubuntu after I tried to install the driver and it failed like this
[12:54] <SSMAdmin> Is it so that a fresh Ubuntu 1804 server uses networkd, while a 18.04 desktop version uses Network Manager?  And by first installing the server, then enchange it with ubuntu-desktop, this could make some trouble..something missing, a package, a module,...something?
[12:54] <sasho199> brainwash: But I can afford to do that seeng that its a fresh install with no data on it
[12:55] <Oxx> benonsoftware: 17
[12:56] <sasho199> brainwash: Is there anything I can do, or should I just hold the power button?
[12:56] <brainwash> sasho199: power button
[12:56] <lapaga> sasho199, might be best to install it from scratch if you have nothing on it
[12:56] <brainwash> sasho199: pressing it once first
[12:56] <sasho199> brainwash: I tried pressing it once, did not work
[12:56] <brainwash> sasho199: :/
[12:56] <sasho199> brainwash: is it risky to hold the power button?
[12:57] <brainwash> shouldn't be
[12:57] <brainwash> and what else could you do? :)
[12:57] <Zteam> nope it's not
[12:57] <brainwash> maybe killing pid 1 (systemd) could work
[12:59] <sasho199> brainwash: the whole thing seems very usntable with the nvidia drivers in ubuntu, I tried many times, and still even if it works I get the feeling that I can get into this sort of thing where I just have to reinstall my system(not a problem now, but maybe a big problem if it was not a fresh install)
[12:59] <brainwash> is that a pascal gpu chip?
[13:00] <brainwash> nvidia gt(x) 1xxx
[13:00] <Zteam> the Nvida drivers works flawlessy for me with Ubuntu 18.04 with my maswell card
[13:00] <sasho199> brainwash: my video card is geforce gtx 950m
[13:01] <lapaga> there is your problem
[13:01] <sasho199> brainwash: just started again, does not work
[13:01] <brainwash> so, it's a hybrid graphics system probably
[13:02] <sasho199> brainwash, lapaga: So what can I do to run ubuntu like that, nothing I tried works, only using the default driver which gives me a resolution of 800x600
[13:03] <Zteam> sasho199, have you tried to presssing CTRL + F5 and see if you can log into a terminal?
[13:03] <Zteam> if you can you can just do sudo apt purge nvidia-*
[13:03] <lapaga> try an older graphics driver
[13:04] <Zteam> that should uninstall the nvidia driver for you
[13:05] <blackflow> sasho199: I don't have the full backlog, did you try with the proprietary driver?
[13:07] <sasho199> Zteam, I dod that already, but did not solve my black screen problem
[13:07] <lapaga> sasho199, i think you said the kernnel driver gives you 800x600 maybe you should try and change that as opposed to installing a driver that does not work
[13:09] <sasho199> lapaga, blackflow: I tried 4 different things already: the proprietary driver from the additional drivers tab(nvidia-390), I tried adding ppa repository and tried both drivers from there(nvidia-390 and 396) and also tried 372 following a guide somewhere
[13:09] <sasho199> lapaga: Well I tried that and someone told me that if I have nvidia I should first isntall the nvidia driver
[13:09] <Zteam> sasho199, you mean you only got a completly black screen then you attempted CTRL + F5 too? or do you mean after uninstalling the nvidia driver
[13:10] <sasho199> Zteam: I was in recovery mode and I purged nvidia* then i rebooted and got the same
[13:10] <sasho199> Zteam: just a flashing underscore and I couldnt do anything
[13:11] <lapaga> sasho199, it just seems to me that you can spend another 3 days trying to fix the problem or just install from scratch since you have nothing on it
[13:11] <Zteam> sasho199, well, then it can't really be the nvidia driver that is giving you issues.....
[13:12] <sasho199> lapaga: Yes thats what I was doing this whole time, but I dont know how to get the system running properly even if I do a clean install
[13:12] <sasho199> Zteam: The system worked before I installed the nvidia driver
[13:12] <Zteam> sasho199, try to reboot into bios / uefi and try to deactive your built-in grahpcis card (if you have too)
[13:13] <lapaga> sasho199, if you install from scratch how would the computer know that you ever tried to install the nvidia drivers?
[13:13] <Zteam> sasho199, well, assuming that apt command didn't fail the nvidia driver should be gone from your computer
[13:13] <sasho199> Zteam: the nouveau driver worked and I could work with the computer but only at 800x600, when I asked how to fix that I got a responce that if I have a nvidia card, I should Install the nvidia driver
[13:14] <kab0m> Is there any way i can disable the "screen edges" aka "hot corners" feature via a terminal-command in KDE/Kubuntu?
[13:14] <sasho199> lapaga: What I tried is install the system( with nomodeset otherwise it freezes), then reboot
[13:15] <sasho199> lapaga: then it works at 800x600 and if I try to install an nvidia driver I get a blank screen with a flashing underscore
[13:15] <sasho199> lapaga: the black screen is after I reboot
[13:16] <Zteam> kab0m, ubuntu-tweak can disable it, but I don't know if it works with kde
[13:16] <kab0m> Zteam: do you mean via gui or scripting? Cause i need a terminal-command i can use
[13:17] <sasho199> So long story short, my problem is that I cant get my system to work with an ndivia driver
[13:18] <Zteam> kab0m, it's gui, it might having some commandline options as well but u'm not sure
[13:18] <kab0m> Zteam: thx
[13:19] <Zteam> sasho199, dumb question: do you have any external screen connected to this computer? (if so try to unplug that screen first)
[13:20] <Zteam> ?
[13:20] <sasho199> Zteam: no I dont
[13:20] <mat2> hello
[13:20] <eric_lee> first,you must install the ndivia driver. and second,you need install the right ndivia driver.
[13:20] <mat2> I have an error msg after upgrade 16.04 => 18.04
[13:21] <mat2> at session login, /home/m**/.bashrc: ligne 5 : "=" : identifiant non valide
[13:21] <mat2> sorry my error message is in french...
[13:22] <Zteam> sasho199, okey, you can try this ppa and see if it solves your issue https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa ,ppas is unsupported on this channel, but I think it's your best bet
[13:22] <sasho199> Zteam, lapaga, blackflow: Do you know what I should do to get the nvidia driver working or get my system working normally with the nouveau driver?
[13:23] <sasho199> Zteam: I alrady tried both drivers from this ppa and they cause the black screen issue as well
[13:23] <Zteam> sasho199, before installing this ppa, make sure to install ppa-purge with apt-get
[13:23] <lionwolf> mat2: are you able to get some prompt? or use another user login?
[13:23] <sasho199> Zteam: Can you explain that last statement?
[13:24] <mat2> lionwolf>everything else works normaly
[13:24] <lionwolf> mat2: can you pastebin your ~/.bashrc file?
maybe just the line with the problem here?
[13:25] <lionwolf> mat2: ok, pastebin the context as well
[13:25] <Zteam> sasho199, sure, ppa-purge allows you revert any changes you made by installing packages from any ppa (in theory)
[13:25] <mat2> export $PATH = "$HOME/.local/venvs/weboob/bin:$PATH"
[13:25] <mat2> 1st line of the file
[13:25] <mat2> 1~4 are comments
[13:26] <Zteam> sasho199, so try to do ppa purge ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa  to clean out any changes from that ppa
[13:26] <lionwolf> mat2: and line 5?
[13:26] <mat2> line 5 is export PATH ....
line 5 is export PATH ....
[13:27] <lionwolf> mat2: make it "export PATH=$HOME/.local...."
[13:27] <lionwolf> no spaces between PATH and = etc
[13:28] <Zteam> sasho199, still if you have 2 graphics card in your computer, be sure to visit BIOD / UEIFI and make sure the built-in one is truly disabled
[13:28] <mat2> line 5 is export PATH ....seems it is ok...
[13:28] <lionwolf> and remove the $ before path
[13:28] <Zteam> Hi all! just a small question. I have a shared folder (shared from Ubuntu via Samba) I shared this folder from nautilus and did uncheck "allow other to write to this folder", yet I can still write a new folder from another computer on my network?
[13:29] <mat2> strange, I didn't get errors with this file before upgrade, (or maybe I didn't saw it?)
[13:29] <lionwolf> mat2: guessing you didn't see it
[13:29] <mat2> thank you very much <lionwolf>!
[13:29] <lionwolf> mat2: no problem
[13:29] <mat2> I didn't use IRC for years, pleased to see it is still alive!
[13:30] <BluesKaj> very much alive
[13:30] <sasho199> Zteam: Isnt there a way to switch between then like it is in windows?
[13:31] <Zteam> sasho199, never tried it myself, but bumblebee should be able to do that
[13:31] <lionwolf> Zteam: what are the permissions of the dir? try ls -ld /path/to/dir
[13:32] <Guest5333> hello
[13:32] <Guest5333> hello
[13:32] <Guest5333> quiy
[13:34] <Zteam> lionwolf, it's drwxrwxrwx
[13:34] <lionwolf> Zteam: change it to chmod 770
[13:37] <Zteam> lionwolf, yes, that should solve it, but I don't get why SAMBA doesn't obey, then I unticked "allow others to write this folder", seems a little bit misleading with that button there if doesn't care about it?
[13:38] <dek> hi

[14:19] <ic3> hi
[14:19] <juan_> hi
[14:19] <Guest69098> kind of sad. when i change the volume level on my subwoofer it does show to do something. but the subwoofer isnt playing at all.
[14:22] <tomreyn> !sound
[14:22] <tomreyn> Guest69098: ^
[14:25] <BluesKaj> !alsamixer | Guest69098
[14:26] <BluesKaj> !info alsamixer | Guest69098
[14:26] <BluesKaj> that's BS
[14:26] <BluesKaj> artful?
[14:27] <ducasse> !info alsa-utils
[14:27] <Guest69098> tomreyn: BluesKaj tysm. got my subwoofer to work. but its strange. when i change volume level on my sub it changes kind of the sound of all speakers tho. if i turn up the volume, the subwoofer level stays the same but i volume up my front speakers. if i lower the volume on my sub, the sub stays same but my frontspeakers playing on a lower level
[14:28] <BluesKaj> Guest69098, anyway open alsamixer in the terminal and make sure your vol ctls are cranked up with no MM in the box, also check that automute is disabled
[14:29] <Guest69098> this 8 year old mainboard just seems to be out of supports xd.
[14:29] <Guest69098> alsamixer ill check that ty BluesKaj
[14:30] <BluesKaj> Guest69098, I have as mobo that's 10yrs old and itr works fine on 18.04 including the sound
[14:30] <badsekter> Guest69098: you could try installing pulseaudio too
[14:30] <Guest69098> probably just how to set it up. all speakers play sound, so all channels are connected.
[14:30] <BluesKaj> it's installed by default badsekter
[14:31] <Guest69098> badsekter: besides pavucontrol?
[14:31] <badsekter> Guest69098: if you got that you probably have pulseaudio installed anyway
[14:32] <badsekter> Guest69098: maybe you should uninstall pulseaudio and go with alsa alone
[14:33] <BluesKaj> one can do that, but at the expense of webaudio badsekter
[14:33] <badsekter> BluesKaj: didn't know thatg
[14:34] <Guest32919> 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. it says sane change has brken soem thrid party scanner drivers on launchpad. Can  some one guide me in the right directions. thanks
[14:34] <BluesKaj> sometimes on older ubuntu versions , intel audio would work well everything...not sure about now tho
[14:34] <BluesKaj> without pulseaudio that is
[14:38] <BluesKaj> Guest32919, seen this?  https://tutorialforlinux.com/2017/12/27/epson-printer-utility-ubuntu-18-04-install-guide/
[14:45] <n-iCe> Hi
[14:47] <n-iCe> I dont have a larger usb than 1gb can i use minimal.iso right? What de works better for ubuntu gnome?
[14:48] <chumaumenze> What's special about Ubuntu 18.04?
[14:49] <laptop> can someone help me install runescape on ubuntu
[14:49] <n-iCe> That is lte, and new
[14:49] <eric_lee> you can install the minimal system,and then connect the internet to install the ubuntu-desktop.
[14:49] <laptop> it is faster than 16.04
[14:49] <n-iCe> eric_lee yeah, im installing lxde minimal installation thanks
[14:50] <laptop> and are the graphics drivers better in 18.04 for older intel graphics cards
[14:51] <eric_lee> laptop:the newer ubuntu version support graphics cards better
[14:52] <laptop> does it support the older graphics cards better
[14:52] <eric_lee> laptop:better
[14:53] <laptop> okay i will install how stable is it now
[14:53] <laptop> i have intel gma 4500 graphics card
[14:55] <john1990> hi. I have run into a bit of a network problem in that when my VPN is on I can't connect to my server, is there a way to get around this?
[14:55] <john_rambo> When I boot my PC is see a "?" in the nm-applet ....It stays like that for 3-4 minutes then the connected icon appears ...Any troubleshooting tips ?
[15:05] <sacarde> hi
[15:05] <sacarde> is there a list of laptop supported in ubuntu18 ?
[15:07] <adrian_1908> john1990: the server is on another network?
[15:08] <john1990> adrian_1908: the server is on my LAN
[15:09] <adrian_1908> john1990: that is certainly weird. maybe a routing issue? I gotta go in a moment, but if you could paste the output of `ip route` with your VPN active, maybe that's instructive.
[15:11] <john1990> adrian_1908: alright, since you have to jet and I am trans a bunch of stuff (hence vpn off) i'll post the ip route info later. thx for the response
[15:13] <curlyears> heigh hough.
[15:14] <adrian_1908> john1990: Yes, I think you can just paste it here (using ubuntu pastebin or w/e) and one of the support people might read it. I suspect this problem won't be too hard to fix. The routing should ensure that traffic to your LAN isn't even considered for VPN tunneling. Good luck!
[15:15] <curlyears> OK, I haven't uyploaded a text file to a file sharing site in almost a year.  Can someone please suggest a file shgaring site,. and pffer me a quick introduction to usunbg iut?   Thank you;\
[15:16] <curlyears> I don't remember how to use pastebin.  :(
[15:17] <curlyears> (yes, I KNOW it's lame, but I haven't used anytthing like it in almost a year, and my memopry is not what it used to bne)\
[15:17] <john1990> adrian_1908: will do! cheers
[15:19] <ioria> curlyears,  cat file | nc termbin.com 9999
[15:20] <curlyears> thanks ioria
[15:20] <ioria> curlyears,  no prob
[15:25] <Hdphn> yo yo yo
[15:25] <Hdphn> how to install ubuntu using systemd-boot
[15:25] <Hdphn> not useless slow grub
[15:26] <blackflow> "useless slow grub" lol
[15:26] <curlyears> OK.   oerhek, if ypou're herte, here is the link to my syslog: http://termbin.com/unay
[15:28] <laptop> hi has anyone found a difference with ubuntu 18 with an intel gma 4500
[15:29] <curlyears> can anyone see a reason why the system loginm would blank the scrrren , and reload login   http://termbin.com/unay
[15:30] <curlyears> here is a syslog.  Can anyone in here determine why ,y login system isn't working?  It just keeps clearing the screen, and looping back to the login splash screen.    *gggrrr***   http://termbin.com/unay
[15:32] <ioria> curlyears,  April 22 ? maybe an updated one would be better
[15:33] <IhrFussel> Any idea what this means in dmesg? [9443279.493512] TCP: request_sock_TCP: Possible SYN flooding on port 80. Sending cookies.  Check SNMP counters.
[15:34] <curlyears> ioria:   the only "updated" one I have iss the one for my curremnt live session. and it n4eve4r called login
[15:35] <trollolol> @IhrFussel someone trying to DDOS your server?
[15:35] <trollolol> guessing you're running a web server?
[15:35] <trollolol> if port 80 is open
[15:35] <aib> shift+space does not enter a space but causes random words to be underlined. WTF, Ubuntu 18.04? What kind of IME did you install and how can I disable it??
[15:35] <trollolol> dont get the  Sending cookies part though lol
[15:36] <trollolol> what web server you running?
[15:36] <IhrFussel> trollolol, yes I have lighttpd running a simple website
[15:36] <ioria> curlyears, boot your installed system and then open a console and log in
[15:36] <guest-aklsin> gogl
[15:36] <trollolol> i would look up the lighttpd doc for what the cookies do
[15:36] <trollolol> im guessing it's trying to protect you
[15:36] <trollolol> but yeah
[15:36] <trollolol> someone is DDOS-ing you by the looks of things :/
[15:36] <trollolol> or trying to
[15:37] <trollolol> or there connection is really broken lol
[15:37] <trollolol> like because their ISP keeps resetting their connection (think great firewall of china) or something
[15:37] <blackflow> it's "TCP cookies", nothing to do with lighttpd
[15:38] <trollolol> never heard of TCP cookies lol
[15:38] <blackflow> kernel's mechanism to protects overflow of connection tables by empty SYNs
[15:38] <trollolol> but sounds interesting
[15:38] <blackflow> *to protect against
[15:38] <trollolol> will have to look into it on wireshark :)
[15:38] <matjam> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SYN_flood
[15:38] <curlyears> ioria:   I can't get into my installed system.  It gets stuck in asking me to log in.
[15:39] <ioria> curlyears, in console tty ?
[15:39] <IhrFussel> I run a game server that uses mainly TCP fpr packets...could that be the reason? But the game runs on port 25000 not 80
[15:39] <trollolol> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SYN_cookies interesting thanks :)
[15:40] <ioria> curlyears,  ctrl+alt+Fx
[15:40] <trollolol> and IhrFussel thats probably how people are finding your IP address :)
[15:40] <curlyears> ioria:  ubuntui automatically boots into GUI mode.  I have no idea how to change that
[15:40] <trollolol> and then port 80 is like the first thing you find on a port scan
[15:40] <curlyears> Fx?
[15:40] <ioria> curlyears,  when you get the login screen  press   ctrl+alt+Fx
[15:40] <trollolol> they're probably trying yo crash your game server or something
[15:41] <blackflow> IhrFussel: is it a new server or IP address?
[15:41] <curlyears> OK.   if this doesn't work, I will gone for a while, as I'll have to restart the Live Session, which takes forever to load
[15:41] <ioria> curlyears,  where  Fx is F (1,2,3,4) Function key
[15:41] <IhrFussel> blackflow, it's a root server @ a public hoster so the IP is well known
[15:42] <blackflow> IhrFussel: that's not what I asked.
[15:42] <IhrFussel> I have this server since a few months now, I only see the warning 2 times in dmesg..both recently
[15:42] <blackflow> IhrFussel: is it a new IP assignment? Did you recently get it? because it often happens with new IP assignments that the traffic for the previous owner still hits up, for various reasons.
[15:44] <blackflow> IhrFussel: it's probably nothing important then. if you were under DDoS, you'd know it alright, and it won't be a single entry int he logs.
[15:45] <blackflow> could be broken bots, network scanners, whatever.
[15:47] <IhrFussel> Alright and this is normal too? dmesg is full of these [9806072.142161] Process accounting resumed
[15:48] <blackflow> IhrFussel: don't know what that is. googling for it reveals a few suggestions.
[15:48] <blackflow> IhrFussel: for example: https://plus.google.com/+ViktorKrot/posts/3LcdqUi6Xx6
[15:51] <stan7> is worth to learn bash?
[15:51] <stan7> shell scripting
[15:52] <stan7> is useful?
[15:54] <IhrFussel> stan7, it is *required* for certain things, but I don't know if you need those
[15:54] <stan7> because im learning python , do i should learn fist shell scripting? i mean i use linux, but first i think i need to master linux, right?
[15:54] <stan7> i use linux like my os
[15:55] <stan7> because maybe im trying to do step 2 without step 1
[15:55] <compdoc> stan7, you dont need to learn any programming to master linux, but its nice to know if you have a need
[15:55] <IhrFussel> I use Ubuntu since 14.04 and I randomly learned commands/scripting while using it normally
[15:57] <stan7> anyway i think its not hard to learn, right? i dont know, looks easy
[15:57] <stan7> shell scripting
[15:57] <compdoc> ha
[15:57] <IhrFussel> blackflow, atop could cause these messages I think...I removed atop from my system and will see if they stop -> https://www.systutorials.com/docs/linux/man/1-atop/#lbAE
[15:58] <compdoc> Ive scripted a program with shell scripting, took several weeks, and I already knew other types of programming
[15:59] <stan7> thanks
[16:03] <stan7> some good books do you recommend about linux?
[16:03] <Hdphn> no
[16:03] <Hdphn> just install archlinux
[16:03] <Hdphn> you will learn entire linux
[16:03] <Hdphn> in 15 minutes
[16:03] <rafficer> Hey!
[16:03] <rafficer> How does one report bugs for ubuntu?
[16:03] <oerheks> !bug
[16:04] <oerheks> and register on launchpad
[16:04] <rafficer> Or is the bug already known that you can't log in on 18.04 after clicking the gear on the loggin screen, where you can choose between xorg or wayland?
[16:05] <oerheks> rafficer, depends, if you have installed nvidia, Wayland will not show up, as it is not compatible
[16:05] <oerheks> xorg only then
[16:06] <rafficer> Not what I mean, let me do a video really quick...
[16:07] <rafficer> https://i.imgur.com/c8ujKhO.gifv
[16:08] <rafficer> It will just stay in the purple screen indefinetly
[16:08] <rafficer> Password is correct both times I enter it and I can reproduce it all the time
[16:08] <rafficer> Just by clicking on the gear before logging in
[16:08] <rafficer> If I don't click it, it logs me in perfectly fine.
[16:10] <oerheks> oh oke, if you click the gear, choose xorg or wayland, then login ?
[16:10] <oerheks> sure you found a 'bug. a minor failure
[16:10] <ioria> rafficer, 18.04 ?
[16:10] <rafficer> Yes
[16:10] <ioria> rafficer, password is correct ?
[16:10] <rafficer> This is a freshly upgraded instance. But i had the same problem with a fresh install
[16:11] <rafficer> Both times, yes
[16:11] <rafficer> And I can reproduce it all the time
[16:11] <ioria> rafficer, after the first try, press Cancel and try again
[16:11] <rafficer> And even if it would be wrong it shouldn't be stuck :P
[16:11] <rafficer> Give me a moment...
[16:12] <rafficer> Logs me in after clicking cancel
[16:12] <rafficer> Also logs me in when I choose either xorg or wayland explicitly again as oerheks suggested and not just "close" the prompt.
[16:13] <ioria> rafficer, ok, what surprises  me  if the first failed login with the correct password
[16:13] <ioria> rafficer, can you reboot and login again ?
[16:13] <rafficer> I take back my last message
[16:14] <rafficer> Yes, after the reboot it works, as long as I don't click on the gear
[16:15] <ioria> rafficer, yes, i think it's a bug (gdm or something)
[16:16] <ioria> rafficer,  check the Point 15 : https://itsfoss.com/things-to-do-after-installing-ubuntu-18-04/
[16:16] <Lagair> I've figured out how to mount and install ubuntu to an iscsi target. Does anyone know of a good place to start reading to figure out how to boot from it?
[16:17] <rafficer> ioria, as mentioned above,  that works, yes.
[16:18] <ioria> rafficer,  guess we need a bug report
[16:19] <rafficer> Would be glad if someone else could file one... I don't have any accounts to do it.
[16:19] <ioria> ok
[16:19] <Rockblast> is there a way to upgrade to 18.04 from 17.10 or is that not until 18.04.1?
[16:20] <matjam> officially not until 18.04.1
[16:20] <rafficer> Rockblast, I just did this. I  followed this: https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-upgrade-to-ubuntu-18-04-lts-bionic-beaver
[16:20] <matjam> but you can do that
[16:20] <rafficer> And I didn't need to use the -d flag.
[16:20] <BionicMac> Rockblast: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BionicBeaver/ReleaseNotes#Upgrading_from_Ubuntu_17.10
[16:20] <matjam> though, I'd suggest considering how many people have had issues, to do a clean install
[16:21] <matjam> this is why I keep my /home on a different device
[16:21] <aLeSD> is it normal there's no upgrades for 18.04 ?
[16:21] <Rockblast> so the information on there is wrong. it says only previous LTS needs to wait for 18.04.1
[16:22] <john_rambo> When I boot my PC the nm-applet is stuck on a "?" symbol like this >>> https://ibb.co/cW4KDn
[16:22] <Zteam> how do you mean that is not an offical upgrade?
[16:22] <Bashing-om> Rockblast: The upgrade path from 17.10 is open. Insure that "any" is set in sotware sources, and 17.10 is fully updated .
[16:23] <Rockblast> Bashing-om, oh, ok. I am not doing it atm it just didn't work a while back when I tried it. it's not on my machines.
[16:23] <matjam> I wasn't able to go from 17.10
[16:23] <Bashing-om> Rockblast: :) .. a while back the path was not open .
[16:23] <matjam> ah'
[16:23] <Rockblast> Bashing-om, yeah
[16:24] <Zteam> strange, well my mine did upgrade but, I did face several errors, but then again my system wasn't healthy even before that upgrade
[16:26] <Rockblast> I see bugs on old macbooks all the time
[16:26] <Rockblast> but they miraculously keep working
[16:36] <transhuman_> Hi! I have a problem with my brother DCP-7040 printer , it wont print, it connects and setups the driver. Anyone know what directory the print jobs are stored in so I can nuke them?
[16:36] <admn> help, I'm getting crashes on a Ubuntu desktop after using it for only a few minutes. Sometimes it results in blinking caps/scroll lock and sometimes it crashes with screen artifacts.
[16:37] <john_rambo>  When I boot my PC the nm-applet is stuck on a "?" symbol like this >>> https://ibb.co/cW4KDn
[16:37] <admn> CPU temp was around 40 deg C so OK
[16:38] <admn> the computer prior to this was overheating due to bad Geforce Fan, but the part was removed in favor of using onboard video. Can it be a driver conflict?
[16:38] <kostkon> admn, did you remove the old one?
[16:39] <kostkon> admn, driver*
[16:39] <morphyeys_> hello guys!
[16:39] <morphyeys_> Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine. Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.
[16:39] <admn> kostkon no i did not change any software or drivers
[16:39] <morphyeys_> any ideas how to fix that
[16:40] <kostkon> admn, is the onboard an intel one? see if you can find and remove the nvidia driver you were using before
[16:40] <admn> kostkon it only stays on for a few minutes. is there a "safe mode" that uses some alternate basic driver?
[16:41] <kostkon> !recovery | admn
[16:42] <transhuman_> never mind figured it out
[16:42] <admn> kostkon once in there how do i remove nvidia driver?
[16:43] <kostkon> admn, good question
[16:45] <pavlos> morphyeys_: how did you install java ... via apt install openjdk-11-jdk or via a PPA ?
[16:45] <Randolf> Huh?  There's a JDK 11 now?  (The last one I know about is JDK 9.)
[16:45] <morphyeys_> first I have installed openjdk-11-jdk
[16:45] <kostkon> admn, i guess something along the lines of  sudo apt-get purge nvidia*  not foolproof enough though
[16:45] <morphyeys_> and I got the error then I've installed it via PPA
[16:46] <morphyeys_> and again the same error
[16:46] <admn> kostkon this won't make the computer completely disabled, right?
[16:46] <morphyeys_> pavlos: I have no idea how to fix it
[16:46] <admn> kostkon i can try and then if it keeps breaking take additional actions
[16:46] <kostkon> admn, make sure only nvidia stuff is to be removed
[16:47] <kostkon> admn, also https://askubuntu.com/q/206283/1651
[16:50] <morphyeys_> pavlos: are you there?
[16:50] <pavlos> morphyeys_: yes, I'm getting errors when trying to install 11-jdk
[16:50] <morphyeys_> so do I need to reinstall my ubuntu 18.04
[16:50] <morphyeys_> and to install older version or what should I do
[16:50] <morphyeys_> ?
[16:51] <hispeed_m> Hi, Bionic Beaver Server: When I change the hostname via sudo su in sudo nano /etc/hostname and then I reboot it always changes back to the old one? I can save and open the file then it is correct but after the reboot it's wrong again and the old name.
[16:51] <CoJaBo> I like how "mark applications that play audio" just utterly, spectacularly, does not work
[16:51] <CoJaBo> this isn't the right tab.
[16:51] <admn> OK trying
[16:51] <kostkon> CoJaBo, it makes sense now
[16:51] <CoJaBo> I mean, for what I posted :P
[16:51] <kostkon> CoJaBo, y
[16:52] <pavlos> morphyeys_: it installed 8-jdk clean so I guess some files are missing from 11-
[16:52] <oerheks> hispeed_m, you need to change it in 2 places..
[16:52] <oerheks> !hostname
[16:53] <oerheks> !info hostnamectl
[16:53] <morphyeys_> pavlos: what do I need to do?
[16:53] <pavlos> morphyeys_: sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk
[16:53] <EriC^^> hispeed_m: something must be changing it
[16:53] <EriC^^> hispeed_m: what is it changing to?
[16:54] <hispeed_m> i changed it from srv-wma-01 to srv-wma-02 in /etc/hostname I save that (nano) when i open the file again it's fine until reboot.
[16:54] <hispeed_m> as second I changed it in:
[16:55] <Randolf> pavlos:  If you don't need Java 8 specifically, I'm finding that JDK 9 is working reliably.
[16:55] <oerheks> hispeed_m, read back, you need to edit /etc/hosts  too
[16:55] <hispeed_m> sudo nano /etc/hosts but there I'm not sure how it should look like in the end because there was never the original hostname in it
[16:56] <EriC^^> hispeed_m: try sudo grep -iR "srv-wma-01" /etc
[16:56] <pavlos> Randolf: when I did apt install javajdk <TAB> it did not offer 9, just 8 and 11
[16:56] <hispeed_m> 127.0.0.1       srv-wma-02.domain.ch  localhost <- I have there
[16:57] <pavlos> Randolf: Im helping morphyeys_ so help him
[16:57] <arooni> anyway to scoop up all my indicators with something like bartender?
[16:57] <arooni> i have so manny i cant close windows
[16:59] <hispeed_m> EriC^^> hispeed_m: try sudo grep -iR "srv-wma-01" /etc -> when i do that it looks correct. I did that and rebootet same problem
[17:00] <hispeed_m> nano /etc/hostname again overwritten....
[17:00] <EriC^^> hispeed_m: what files does it return when you run the grep command?
[17:01] <hispeed_m> etc/hosts:127.0.0.1    srv-wma-02.domain.ch  localhost
[17:01] <hispeed_m> etc/hostname:srv-wma-02
[17:02] <EriC^^> hispeed_m: try sudo grep -iR "srv-wma-01" /var
[17:03] <EriC^^> hispeed_m: is this some kind of VPS?
[17:04] <morphyeys_> pavlos: I have installed it
[17:04] <hispeed_m> what is UPS? grep yes does something it still working on that
[17:04] <pavlos> morphyeys_: good!
[17:04] <EriC^^> hispeed_m: VPS, is it a pc you've rented from a company online?
[17:04] <curlyears> *AHA*   THERE you guys are!   *sheesh*  :)  :)
[17:04] <pavlos> morphyeys_: java -version should say 8
[17:05] <morphyeys_> pavlos: I will try to run the server now
[17:05] <morphyeys_> may the force be with me
[17:05] <hispeed_m> ahh EriC^^ no it's offline a testserver for Kopano and virtual on Esxi 6.5 and fresh installation. unfortunately i wrote 01 ^^ but it should be 02 so that's why i want to change because productive system should be later 01 :)
[17:05] <curlyears> *AHA*  THERE you guys are!!!    :)  :)
[17:06] <morphyeys_> pavlos: again the same error.. java -version is saying java version "1.8.0_171" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_171-b11) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.171-b11, mixed mode)
[17:07] <pavlos> morphyeys_: someone with java knowledge should jump in ...
[17:07] <ledeni> morphyeys_, sudo update-alternatives --config java ---- will set java version
[17:08] <morphyeys_> what to type exactly
[17:08] <kostkon> curlyears, damn you found us..
[17:08] <ledeni> morphyeys_, sudo update-alternatives --config java
[17:09] <hispeed_m> EriC^^ it's still working on your grep command... last line it presented me via cli: grep: /var/run/user/1000/gnupg/S.gpg-agent.ssh: No such device or address
[17:09] <morphyeys_> ledeni: which one to choose?
[17:09] <ledeni> morphyeys_, it is up to you what you need to use
[17:09] <curlyears> OK.   I rebooted and tried ctrl-slt-F!-F6, and cntrl-altF8-F12, all withthe same resault.  No terminal session, and the screen blanks to black and stays there.  Nothing else happens.  With ctrl-alt-F7, the screen fflcikers slightly, bvut otherwise remains the same,  In other words, abdsolutely NOTHING happens with ctrl-alt-F7
[17:10] <morphyeys_> I have no idea what I need to use to run that tomcat server
[17:11] <ledeni> morphyeys_, i think openjdk 8
[17:11] <morphyeys_> will try again brb will reboot to see what happens
[17:11] <curlyears> oerhek?
[17:12] <tomreyn> curlyears: it's " oerheks "
[17:12] <curlyears> kostkon:>  yeah.  For some reason, I kept connecting to an incorrect server.
[17:13] <cyberx> testing
[17:13] <cyberx> hello
[17:13] <cyberx> hello every one
[17:13] <MonkeyDust> cyberx  it works, we see you
[17:13] <pikapika> Does do-release-upgrade more or less only upgrade installed packages to the new os version or does it overwrite apps and settings, possibly reinstalling things that I've removed?
[17:13] <curlyears> seen ojerhek
[17:14] <curlyears> ? seen ojerhek
[17:14] <curlyears> I guess no channel bot, or it doesn't have that function?
[17:14] <zergut> Hello
[17:14] <zergut> is it possible to accidently delete DOcuments directory?
[17:14] <blackflow> yup.
[17:15] <MonkeyDust> accidents do happen
[17:15] <BluesKaj> curlyears, use the tab key to autofinish nicks
[17:15] <brainwash> pikapika: shouldn't change user settings, but may reinstall uninstalled packages
[17:16] <kostkon> pikapika, yes it will also update your apps, might alter system settings, it might also reinstall some pacakges, basically any of that could happen
[17:16] <curlyears> oerheks: sorry I was mis=spelling your nick
[17:16] <anden> is there any command i can use to lock my mouse x/y axis or perhaps set sensitivity for them individually? i want the computer to help me move my cursor in straight lines
[17:17] <curlyears> anden"  to what end?
[17:17] <anden> no particular one, it's just something i wished i could do every now and then
[17:18] <curlyears> anden:  most applications in which the would be useful alreeady include a means of doing so.
[17:18] <anden> yeah, but sometimes i find applications that don't. can i do it or not?
[17:19] <brainwash> anden: you could write a script that utilizes xdotool
[17:20] <curlyears> anden:  there is no "stock" means of doing so that I know of.  You could probably write a util that would permit it. n (capture mouse driver output, and preprtocess before calling display routines
[17:20] <anden> i actually just did that, but i don't know if i did the best way. i get some jitter: https://pastebin.com/raw/4wi6e0K7
[17:20] <brainwash> why didn't you tell us earlier? ...
[17:21] <anden> because it didn't work well and i was hoping there was something i could simply do with xset or something
[17:22] <curlyears> anden:  what is the sleep verb for?
[17:23] <zergut> blackflow MonkeyDust how do you think i can restore it?
[17:23] <anden> well, the CPU gets kinda overloaded in infinite loops sometimes. i just think of it as good practice. also it should be 1ms (enough for 1000hz mice)
[17:23] <morphyeys_> ledeni: Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine. Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit. again
[17:23] <morphyeys_> trying to start it from the Eclipse IDE
[17:25] <curlyears> anden:  try reworking it with a 1msec delay, see if it performs better
[17:25] <anden> isn't that what 0.001 does already?
[17:27] <Doow> how do I know which ppa a specific package is installed from (I'm having problems with certbot and I'm trying to find out exactly what I have installed).
[17:27] <curlyears> oh, yeah.   Sowwy.  I am kinda confused and jittery today.  And highly frustrated with the system problem I am having.  I keep failiung to get the help I need (most probably I am not explaining my situation adequately, or something liuke that
[17:27] <anden> that sucks :/ what's your problem?
[17:27] <curlyears> \It doesn't help that I am autistic, and not very bpatient  ~sigh~
[17:29] <morphyeys_> ledeni: -Djava.endorsed.dirs=/home/siente/tomcatche/endorsed is not supported. Endorsed standards and standalone APIs in modular form will be supported via the concept of upgradeable modules.
[17:29] <morphyeys_> pavlos: -Djava.endorsed.dirs=/home/siente/tomcatche/endorsed is not supported. Endorsed standards and standalone APIs in modular form will be supported via the concept of upgradeable modules.
[17:30] <ledeni> morphyeys_, witch version of apache-tomcat
[17:31] <curlyears> anden:  after an autoimatic update from FreeCAD, the updater told me toi reboot.  I did so, wondering why in hell it would need that.  After typingf my password, the system sits there for about 1.5 seconds, then the screen blanks to black, and after a few secxonds the login splash screen is displayed.,  No matter how many times I try, over andf ove
[17:31] <curlyears> r.  Something obviously isn't right.
[17:31] <lapaga> Doow, apt-cache policy packagename
[17:31] <anden> curlyears: oh, that sucks. did you check your X server logs or whatever?
[17:31] <anden> and any recently updated files in /var/log
[17:32] <morphyeys_> ledeni: v8
[17:33] <pavlos> morphyeys_: did you need to define JAVA_HOME, JRE_HOME and CATALINA_HOME env variables before starting Eclipse
[17:34] <morphyeys_> pavlos: no
[17:34] <curlyears> morphyeys_:  shouldnt that ":.../catche/..." read "..,./cache.../"    ??  In other words, I think you missspelled "cache."
[17:35] <curlyears> anden:>  I looked ythrough one, but I didn't undrestand most of what I was seeing, and found nother that I could identify as "suspicious"
[17:36] <curlyears> I guess oerhek is not at his KB right now :(
[17:36] <anden> curlyears: i don't know if sharing logs is taboo here, but if they don't contain anything sensitive, maybe post them for the rest of us to look at so we can provide better help?
[17:38] <curlyears> yeah, which log? syslog, or Xlog?
[17:38] <ilyaigpetrov> I've tried to install Ubuntu server 18.04 -- I found out you can't use existing partitions. Or can you?
[17:39] <curlyears> whatever this is, it is happenbing AFTER the password matching routine runs, so I doubt Xlogs would be very useful
[17:39] <anden> i'm guessing X, and maybe the one for your display manager?
[17:39] <ledeni> morphyeys_, can you check it is running service with systemctl status tomcat.service
[17:40] <anden> curlyears: yeah, maybe.. i just thought since it seems to maybe crash there might be something in some log though
[17:40] <curlyears> anden:  I am noit sure which "display manager"  I am using.  It's whgatever was the default on the 14.04LTS install
[17:40] <anden> i'm not even sure if display managers usually have separate log files anway
[17:41] <anden> curlyears: see if maybe lightdm is there
[17:41] <curlyears> anden:  more information I didn;'t see h ow to spin in withthe previous:  if I deliberatel;y type abd inincorrect passwd, it identifies it as incorrect, slaps my wrist, and asks for the passwo4rd again (in other words, it works asd it should)
[17:42] <curlyears> lightdm?  is where?
[17:42] <curlyears> it wouldn't be "Eclipse" would it?
[17:43] <curlyears> this is such a quiet channel, for having 1700+ users
[17:45] <anden> curlyears: and if you keep typing wrong passwords it keeps running until you provide a correct one? also /var/log/lightdm/
[17:47] <curlyears> yew, it keeps running until a correct [password is entered
[17:47] <pikapika> brainwash, so is there any tool to take care of these and safely remove them again, or is the only way to just list installed packages before and after and remove with dependencies in mind?
[17:48] <kostkon> curlyears, it's also sunday, people are busy with other things
[17:49] <brainwash> pikapika: do-release-upgrade should inform you about what it is doing
[17:49] <brainwash> pikapika: so, you can note down what it changes
[17:49] <pikapika> Ok, that should make things a little easier
[17:50] <MENOO> Hi
[17:51] <brainwash> pikapika: when it offers to show details, select that and make your notes (or copy paste the lines)
[17:51] <pikapika> Ok
[17:51] <brainwash> pikapika: leave the details screen with q
[17:52] <Dbugger> Is there a way to have better notifications in 18.04? The current ones are quite easy to miss...
[17:53] <curlyears> lightdm.log shoiws a bunch of debug messages, nnone of which are markewd as "fatal"

[17:56] <MENOO> I recovered lost photos from my hard drive using Photorec, and now i have so many photos some of them are family photos and others are just screenshots and unnecessary pictures, now i need to isolate the family photos from the other photo files is there any software can help me do that, and can save me from doing that manually which would take me so many hours
[17:56] <anden> curlyears: not sure if it will be of any help, but did you check https://askubuntu.com/questions/715504/x-server-broken-by-free-cad ?
[17:58] <EriC^^> MENOO: why did you use photorec? was the filesystem damaged?
[17:59] <MENOO> Eric**: No
[17:59] <EriC^^> Why then?
[18:02] <Doow> lapion: thank you
[18:02] <MENOO> EriC^^: it was suggested to me by a member from this chanel, i told him its an ext4 filesystem type so .. whats important now is that i got what needed recovered! why dou you think i should have used other softaware ?
[18:03] <ioria> MENOO, because if the fs is not damaged , you can just mount the partition and copy over
[18:03] <EriC^^> MENOO: because photorec is a last resort type of recovery, when the filesystem is damaged or something like that
[18:04] <EriC^^> if the partition table is just gone or anything similar to that it would be a waste and unnecessary hard time
[18:05] <EriC^^> MENOO: what was your initial problem?
[18:05] <MENOO> EriC^^: well sorry yes it was damaged, now that you explaine, i accidently run a bad command line now i remember yes you're right, am sorry .
[18:05] <EriC^^> MENOO: what command did you run?
[18:06] <chamaeleon> rm -rf /*
[18:06] <EriC^^> chamaeleon: no need to type commands like that
[18:07] <chamaeleon> I know, but hey it's sunday, everthing is possible ;D
[18:07] <MENOO> EriC^^: I was trying to clear the tmp dir using pwn rm -r *, but i run it in the Home dir instead !
[18:07] <curlyears> anden:  his probelm was superfically similar to mine, but his details were not smilar at all.  He finally tracked it to an error in the dependencies on the BR-CAD ionstall
[18:08] <anden> curlyears: yeah, that's what i thougth too :/ i hoped maybe because it was so similar his solution could work for you too, but probably not
[18:09] <ioria> curlyears, if you cannot manage to get a shell prompt  (or similar), we cannot help you
[18:09] <curlyears> thanks, anden
[18:09] <EriC^^> MENOO: aha, i guess the screenshots are most likely .png files and photos will be .jpeg?
[18:10] <MENOO_> Eric^^: yes yo're right i really learned from that good lesson !
[18:10] <EriC^^> MENOO_: try on a screenshot "file filename" and see what you get and same for a family photo
[18:11] <curlyears> ioria:  OK.  Burt from that wiki article anden referred me to, ctrl-alr-F2 SHOULD giv e me a  text termaihnl login screen.  INstead, it gives ma a blank, black screen, which only changes when I power cycle the system  :( :(
[18:11] <MENOO_> Eric^^: no everything in jpg unfortunately
[18:12] <anden> curlyears: does ctrl+alt+F2 work prior to logging in?
[18:12] <EriC^^> MENOO_: try to install "exif" and see if the photos share a similar tag
[18:12] <ioria> curlyears, if you cannot login in console (please, try again)  , you might have another kind of issue
[18:13] <curlyears> anden:>  I have no idea, I've never used it.  But apparntly thats how the guy in that wiki entry gained access to a rtex input screenm and he and IK are ruhnnning the same veriojns of ubuntu (according to his sectioptiuin of his systrem)(
[18:14] <curlyears> ioria:  I'll go try again, ut it'll take me about 10-15 minutes tyo do so and return'\
[18:14] <anden> curlyears: yeah, ctrl+alt+f1 - ctrl+alt+f6 allows you to access 6 "virtual consoles" which are fullscreen text terminals that should always work, even when X is not running (it's typically how you control systems that don't have a desktop environment installed)
[18:14] <ioria> curlyears, try also Recovery from Advanced Options
[18:15] <curlyears> oops, I hadn't hit <retunr> in the perevious m=essage.   Sorry for spam, filk
[18:15] <anden> curlyears: normally, the desktop will run in #7, so at ctrl+alt+f7
[18:15] <curlyears> ioria:  will do...anden:  trhanks agin
[18:16] <anden> good luck!
[18:16] <ioria> curlyears, it's ok
[18:16] <curlyears> 'you too, ioria, thank you]
[18:24] <YADW1> Hi there! I'm on 16.04.4 LTS, using lubuntu-desktop as DE, and I'm trying to configure a dual monitor setup but I'm having some issues
[18:26] <YADW1> Basically, the bottom panel doesn't show up in the secondary screen, the virtual desktops are now twice as wide and both work with both monitors, whereas I'd like them to be each for each screen
[18:27] <YADW1> Furthermore, when I right-click the secondary desktop (only that one) the options menu is the openbox one, not the "lubuntu" one
[18:27] <YADW1> What can I do to set them properly?
[18:32] <pavlos> YADW1: there is "arandr" package that helps with gui config
[18:33] <YADW1> pavlos Thank you, of course I have tried that, but it wasn't of much help unfortunately
[18:34] <YADW1> It only let me customise the position of monitor 2, screen resolution, rotation, and... well, that's it.
[18:34] <pavlos> YADW1: ok
[18:35] <n-iCe> Ubuntu is now 1.8gb WOW, I remember when it was 700MB
[18:35] <n-iCe> lot of things must have changed
[18:38] <anden> n-iCe: my guess is they used to do everything to fit it on a CD (700MB), then when CDs got less popular, the exact size wasn't so important anymore
[18:40] <wirehunter> n-iCe, You can still get the minimalCD installation, 64MB for bionic (64 bit)
[18:41] <n-iCe> yeah anden wirehunter
[18:41] <n-iCe> I just bought a laptop, thinking in linux, not sure the distro yet.
[18:41] <n-iCe> ubuntu is in my mind of course.
[18:43] <pavlos> n-iCe: try a few live distro and then pick one
[18:44] <TheWild> hello
[18:44] <TheWild> I've logged through ssh to another machine
[18:44] <TheWild> udisksctl mount -o ro -b /dev/sda4
[18:44] <TheWild> Error mounting /dev/sda4: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Error.NotAuthorized: Not authorized to perform operation
[18:49] <anden> TheWild: did you run that command as root?
[18:56] <ikkuranus> I have a folder set with the following owners/permissions 770 root:users and a user that is part of that group is unable to browse that folder. What am I doing wrong
[18:58] <cousteau> Hi!  Totally naive and unspecific question: does Ubuntu support USB 3.2?
[18:59] <EriC^^> ikkuranus: maybe the paths leading up to it dont have the user perms
[18:59] <DevonX|> Hi
[18:59] <cousteau> IIRC Linux is working on it right now, so I don't think it made it into the kernel used by 18.04
[19:00] <EriC^^> ikkuranus: has he logged out and back in after adding him to the group?
[19:00] <DevonX|> Can anyone help me with getting Ubuntu running on WSL ?
[19:00] <ikkuranus> I didn't think that mattered but I tried after that answer came up in a google search
[19:00] <cousteau> (btw I honestly have no idea what USB 3.2 is exactly, so you could just say "yes" and I wouldn't notice the difference)
[19:02] <ikkuranus> that and users appears to have new users automatically added as a secondary group anyhow
[19:04] <robert0> i, who use plus.google?
[19:06] <ikkuranus> oh nice apparently that new hdd dock causes my server to hang on reboot
[19:12] <leonardo_> hello
[19:12] <leonardo_> ola
[19:13] <leonardo_> como que eu faço para mexer corretamente aqui
[19:14] <n-iCe> leonardo_: hola
[19:14] <n-iCe> !br
[19:18] <ikkuranus> well that's confusing. Ubuntu is trying to start it recovery mode with that external drive attached (currently a single drive with a btrfs filesystem that was eventually going to be converted to raid1)
[19:19] <ikkuranus> I mean single drive in the btrfs pool
[19:19] <ikkuranus> or lack of pool
[19:22] <TheWild> anden: oops, sorry for AFK. Using udisksctl directly (no SSH) on the machine did not require ro... never mind. /dev/sda4 was a NTFS partition which could cause a problem. I used "mount" command, with root privileges of course.
[19:22] <TheWild> I mean I used "mount" command in the end, solved.
[20:03] <IhrFussel> Is it normal that [9971716.328775] Bluetooth: HCI device and connection manager initialized << appears when I run tcpdump ?
[20:03] <IhrFussel> appears in dmesg*
[20:04] <badsekter> IhrFussel: probably just means that the kernel recognizes that device
[20:04] <badsekter> IhrFussel: at boot time, right?
[20:05] <bencc1> I'm getting an error: Release file for http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic-security/InRelease is not valid yet
[20:05] <bencc1> (invalid for another 17h 55min 3s).
[20:05] <bencc1> Updates for this repository will not be applied.
[20:05] <bencc1> is there something with bionic repo?
[20:05] <IhrFussel> badsekter, nope it appeared the moment I ran sudo tcpdump...one sec
[20:05] <gartral> hello all, quick question, I have a new drive that I want to a fresh install of ubuntu onto, but i have a *LOT* of software packages installed, I'd like to take a a listing of everything installed and migrate to the new fresh installation with that list, I remember there was at one point a way to do this, I do not however remember how to do it
[20:05] <badsekter> bencc1: better sudo apt-get update
[20:06] <IhrFussel> badsekter, those lines appeared then https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/krqmXSBdhr/
[20:07] <petaflot> back in the house. since I changed the repo and re-ran an upgrade, all is fixed
[20:07] <badsekter> IhrFussel: it looks like nothing to worry about, but you can ask in #networking for further comments
[20:08] <petaflot> that means the ch.ubuntu.com repo mirror was broken
[20:08] <badsekter> gartral: you should get in aptitude and check for installed packages, i think
[20:09] <ducasse> gartral: you can use apt-clone
[20:09] <gartral> badsekter: found it, I wanted apt-mark
[20:09] <badsekter> gartral: cool
[20:10] <Peyam> hi. my computer shows just a black screen after waking up
[20:10] <gartral> ducasse: NOOOOOOOOOOO I *DO NOT* want the configurations following with me, one reasong for the nuke is that this system was initially installed with 15.04... and it has.... quirks...
[20:10] <Bashing-om> gartral: Not tested. but -> < TJ-> I always suggest using 'debfoster' not 'dpkg --get-selections' because debfoster only lists those packages manually installed, and therefore when those are installed on a target system the auto-install dependency is recreated. With "dpkg --set-selections" every package is set to manually installed and that graph is lost, and so autoremove cannot work
[20:10] <Peyam> could you please help me becouse it really kills me soon
[20:10] <bencc1> badsekter: I did
[20:11] <kostkon> Peyam, waking up from suspend? hibernate?
[20:11] <gartral> alrighty all, I'll see you in 18.04
[20:11] <Peyam> suspend
[20:11] <badsekter> peyam, i would either disable screensaver, or install/update propriety drivers for the video card
[20:11] <Peyam> badsekter, how do I do that?
[20:11] <Peyam> badsekter, http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/2Sn3KFfF23/
[20:13] <badsekter> peyam, ok nevermind, you don't have a video card, except the one on-board
[20:13] <IhrFussel> badsekter, >>> <Forst> IhrFussel: because tcpdump supports capturing from Bluetooth adapters
[20:13] <n-iCe> Ok, installed Ubuntu.
[20:13] <Peyam> yes badsekter I don't
[20:13] <badsekter> IhrFussel: ah, there you go
[20:14] <badsekter> peyam, i would change the desktop, from say Unity to Gnome 3, or something
[20:14] <Peyam> badsekter, using xfce
[20:15] <badsekter> Peyam: right... i have no idea, but would you consider trying LXDE? it is also lightweight
[20:15] <Peyam> badsekter, I believe it is a grub issue
[20:16] <badsekter> peyam, if it is then it is a general problem enough to ask in #linux instead here, you might get better help
[20:16] <brainwash> Peyam: but grub is not involved then resuming from suspend-to-ram
[20:17] <Peyam> in Windows which I have as my second OS I have the same issue.
[20:17] <badsekter> peyam, is it a laptop?
[20:17] <Peyam> badsekter, yes
[20:17] <Peyam> hp probook 650 G3
[20:17] <n-iCe> is it true that xubuntu is better for laptops thans ubuntu desktop?
[20:17] <badsekter> you should ask about this in #hardware
[20:17] <brainwash> is your bios/uefi up-to-date?
[20:17] <Peyam> brainwash, yes.
[20:17] <badsekter> peyam, i highly doubt that it has anything to do with grub, like brainwash said
[20:18] <Peyam> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8xa-PkDhhk
[20:18] <brainwash> n-iCe: in which regard?
[20:18] <badsekter> n-iCe: xubuntu is easier on resources
[20:18] <n-iCe> brainwash: dunno hehe read that
[20:18] <n-iCe> I'm in Ubuntu I like it, stock.
[20:22] <n-iCe> How do I install flash flashplugin-installer did not work
[20:22] <n-iCe> for chromium
[20:23] <n-iCe> pepperflashplugin-nonfree
[20:23] <badsekter> n-iCe: you can download it directly from adobe's website and copy it under ~/.mozilla/plugins/ or something (unzipped of course)
[20:24] <badsekter> not sure if flashplugin works with chromium, you may need firefox
[20:24] <n-iCe> pepperflash worked.
[20:25] <badsekter> cool
[20:25] <IhrFussel> n-iCe, Xubuntu runs smooth @ singlecore CPU & 512 MB RAM ... I doubt that stock Ubuntu could do that
[20:26] <BionicMac> Lubuntu is another light option.
[20:26] <IhrFussel> Even more lightweight than Xubuntu I think
[20:27] <lapaga> Actually mate is pretty light too
[20:28] <badsekter> i use fluxbox
[20:29] <n-iCe> uhm
[20:29] <n-iCe> im in ubuntu stock
[20:29] <n-iCe> but I'm in a i5 4yh generation and 8GB ram
[20:30] <n-iCe> will I notice any difference in lubuntu xubuntu or mate?
[20:30] <Skaface82> i thought it would be pretty smooth on a computer like that
[20:31] <lapaga> Unless you are starved it is just what you like
[20:34] <IhrFussel> n-iCe, your PC could even run Win 10 without any slowdown probably...it really doesn't matter with such specs
[20:37] <bencc1> this release file has wrong date?
[20:37] <bencc1> http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic-updates/InRelease
[20:37] <bencc1> I'm getting an error when trying to call apt-get update
[20:38] <bencc1> maybe my machine time is wrong
[20:38] <_KaszpiR_> bencc1 can be stale cache on the miror server, try again, it happens
[20:39] <n-iCe> IhrFussel: ok
[20:40] <bencc1> I updated the clock manually. not sure why ntp didn't do it
[20:40] <bencc1> now it's good
[20:49] <stefano_> Hello there
[20:49] <`whoami`> hi! Running live ubuntu 18.04 LTS to install it on some USB key; everything runs smooth, but at reboot I get "no bootable device detected" - secureboot is disabled, EFI is enabled
[20:50] <stefano_> I'm using kde and I click by mistake on a window "hide windows menu"
[20:50] <stefano_> someone know if there's a way to make that menu appear again?
[20:50] <`whoami`> It seems I should browse in BIOS to add the specific EFI file or something, but I don't have this option. Also, why would the live syste boot, but not the newly installed usb key ?
[20:50] <dfch> `whoami`: did you check on what to boot first record in bios?
[20:51] <`whoami`> yes
[20:51] <badsekter> stefano_: i would just delete ~/.kde and reboot
[20:51] <dfch> can you browse to efi from bios?
[20:51] <`whoami`> Also if I press F12 I get the boot menu, and the key doesn't show in that menu :/
[20:51] <dfch> efi file
[20:51] <`whoami`> dfch: nope
[20:51] <`whoami`> (but the live system does, when it's plugged in)
[20:52] <`whoami`> And it works on another computer.
[20:52] <stefano_> badsekter: but doing this I'm gonna lose all my kde settings or just the last ones?
[20:52] <badsekter> stefano_: all of them
[20:52] <`whoami`> So yeah, the issue is prolly the comp', but if any already had this issue ...
[20:52] <`whoami`> *anyone
[20:52] <badsekter> stefano_: just as a last resort
[20:53] <stefano_> badsekter: uhm alrigt I'm gonna dig a little bit more into the window settings then, as last resort I'm gonna delete .kde
[20:53] <stefano_> badsekter: Thanks!

[20:59] <matic> Good evening all :)
[21:00] <n-iCe> hi
[21:01] <matic> I had 14.04 on my current pc, with OpenGl 2, Im having a few issues with getting it installed on 18.04... can anyone help?
[21:02] <n-iCe> what issues
[21:03] <matic> Blender requires OpenGL 2.1 to run. Try updating your drivers.
[21:03] <matic> I checked driver
[21:04] <matic> according to lshw : 82Q35 Express Integrated Graphics Controller
[21:05] <matic> which leads me to find the 'upgrade your hardware' type of solution
[21:05] <matic> yet, under 14.04, ths wasnt an issue
[21:05] <kostkon> matic, try running it like this:  MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=2.1 blender
[21:06] <matic> kostkon, thank you, I'll try now
[21:07] <matic> kostkon, many many thanks, that seems to work :)
[21:07] <kostkon> matic, np
[21:08] <matic> and there I was fearing it would involve a ton of terminal work
[21:10] <ohoihoi> can anybody help me out quickly with xbindkeys?
[21:10] <ohoihoi> i want to map button 1 (left mouse click) to keycode 51 ("\" key)
[21:11] <kostkon> matic, you could update blender's desktop file. but instead of editing the one in /local/share/applications, just copy the blender .desktop to ~/.local/share/applications and edit the Exec line accordingly in that
[21:13] <kostkon> matic, make sure to change the file ownership if needed
[21:15] <matic> kostkon, thanks again, I was abut to ask how to make the change permanent
[21:15] <brainwash> ohoihoi: and what does not work? I assume you have read through the xbindkeys manual
[21:16] <ohoihoi> brainwash:  thank you for writing, i'm trying to edit the xbindkeysrc file using nano
[21:16] <ohoihoi> but i am unsure of what text i need to write in that config file to map keycode 51 to left mouse click
[21:20] <brainwash> ohoihoi: so, button 1 is b:1
[21:20] <brainwash> right?
[21:21] <ohoihoi> yes that makes sense to me :)
[21:21] <ohoihoi> and keycode 51 is b:51 or k:51 or key 51 or?
[21:22] <brainwash> you bind a key (combo) to a command
[21:22] <brainwash> with xbindkeys
[21:23] <brainwash> the command is probably "xdotool key backslash"
[21:23] <brainwash> so:
[21:23] <brainwash> "xdotool key backslash"
[21:23] <brainwash>  b:1
[21:30] <brainwash> ohoihoi: in this solution you obviously have to install xdotools beforehand
[21:30] <brainwash> xdotool I mean
[21:31] <pavlos> "xvkbd -no-jump-pointer -xsendevent -text '\'"
[21:31] <pavlos> b:1
[21:32] <matic> Guys, If I wanted to log my mousepointer co-ords on a mouse left click, how would you do it?
[21:33] <matic> I know xdotool getmmouselocation will give me the data I want, but how does one go about attaching an event to mouse 1 click?
[21:34] <brainwash> uhm
[21:34] <brainwash> matic: did you read the last couple of lines?
[21:35] <matic> yes, but im not yet got a good grasp of xvkbd
[21:35] <matic> *reads man page
[21:35] <brainwash> what about the lines even before that?
[21:36] <brainwash> the talk about xbindkeys
[21:37] <brainwash> and mapping mouse button 1 to a key
[21:38] <brainwash> doesn't this resemble your use case?
[21:39] <matic> sorry, yes it does, wish I hadnt asked now, thank you
[21:39] <brainwash> :)
[21:44] <pavlos> xev | grep root displays x,y as root:(x,y)
[21:52] <karolin> hi i like this http://www.thedubber.altervista.org/ip/
[21:54] <distrax> So.. Has anyone with a media server running 16.04 braved the 18.04 upgrade yet?
[22:01] <vavkamil> hello
[22:02] <vavkamil> is there some software that can sync two computers with ubuntu?
[22:02] <vavkamil> like install same software and set same settings?
[22:02] <oerheks> sure, rsync and grsync as a gui
[22:02] <oerheks> !info rsync
[22:03] <vavkamil> like rsync /etc ?\
[22:03] <vavkamil> idk if I can rsync whole / directory
[22:03] <oerheks> and a screenshot https://www.unixmen.com/grsync-gadmin-rsync-graphical-front-end-applications-rsync-tool/
[22:04] <oerheks> sure, with permissions/timestamp/compressed, whatever
[22:04] <vavkamil> I would give it a try
[22:05] <vavkamil> will gnome shell extension in browser work fork each system?
[22:06] <oerheks> if you get them from softwarecenter, yes
[22:07] <oerheks> other sources, maybe
[22:07] <vavkamil> I'm not sure if I should use snap
[22:08] <oerheks> snaps are oke, the new packaging way
[22:08] <vavkamil> it's basically like docker?
[22:08] <vavkamil> idk if apt-get update in 18.04 will update snap or no
[22:10] <oerheks> snaps refresh themselves,.. https://docs.ubuntu.com/core/en/reference/automatic-refreshes
[22:10] <oerheks> one can turn this off, but i see no legal reason why
[22:11] <vavkamil> thank you
[22:34] <protocol_hive> i am having an issue with installing oh-my-zsh, stating that zsh is not installed when indeed it is? anyone else having the same problem with 18.04?
[22:43] <ikkuranus> Does secondary groups not apply to file/folder permissions?
[23:01] <kristenbb> hello, i'm using ubuntu 16.04, and the ubuntu launcher doesn't show anymore. I've tried many things on the web, such as apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop and rm -rf ~/.config, but it still doesnt work. any help please?
[23:03] <eelstrebor> anyone using zoneminder? i'm trying to set it up but their wiki is terrible
[23:09] <ShamelessHussy> i am going to ask a shameless despicable question so all those with feeling just turn away
[23:10] <ShamelessHussy> right here goes
[23:10] <tytan> alright, who thought netplan is a good idea?
[23:10] <ShamelessHussy> does 18.05 have FULLY functioning bluetooth?
[23:11] <gogeta> ShamelessHussy, dunno we dont have a 18.05
[23:11] <shpx> high quality response
[23:11] <ShamelessHussy> oh 18.04 /shameless
[23:12] <gogeta> ShamelessHussy, relly if its not working for you its probly a driver thing
[23:12] <gogeta> ShamelessHussy, as most wifi cards also have bluetooth
[23:12] <tytan> isn't bluetooth mainly handled by the kernel?
[23:13] <gogeta> tytan, indeed but if thers no driver for you card or its broken you get the idea
[23:13] <oerheks> systemsettings > bluetooth, go wild ..
[23:13] <tytan> gogeta: +
[23:17] <phil42> i tried to install 18.04 today and failed.  that hasn't ever happened before

[23:23] <gogeta> kristenbb, dconf reset -f / will reset everything to stock
[23:24] <kristenbb> gogeta, i tried that too, and rebooted, but it didn't work
[23:25] <tytan> gogeta: what do you think about the switch to netplan?
