| p0a | hello | 00:23 |
| p0a | my free-only install doesn't play music on youtube | 00:23 |
| p0a | How can I fix that without installing a bundle of non-free stuff? | 00:23 |
| noway96 | hello, I accidentally deleted the first sever MB (< 30 MB) of my disk by writing some data using dd. How do I recover my ubuntu system? | 00:24 |
| p0a | noway96: I think you should at least know what filesystem you are using | 00:25 |
| noway96 | p0a, it was whatever fs in the default Ubuntu 16.04 install | 00:26 |
| p0a | noway96: so figure it out | 00:27 |
| guiverc | p0a, have you tried `sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras` (fyi: it's non-free in the debian sense) | 00:27 |
| p0a | noway96: https://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec | 00:28 |
| p0a | guiverc: yeah but it's a bundle | 00:28 |
| zerabat | useful and essential forensic and recovery software^ | 00:28 |
| p0a | guiverc: I'm wondering if I can just install the relevant bit directly? | 00:28 |
| zerabat | it doesn't take up much space | 00:29 |
| p0a | oh well okay | 00:29 |
| * p0a does it | 00:29 | |
| zerabat | both tools are useful, so why not keeping both? | 00:29 |
| noway96 | yeah I just want my ssh keys from there | 00:30 |
| zerabat | testdisk saved my life several times with partition table deletion, files accidentally erased, etc... | 00:31 |
| guiverc | p0a, gstreamer1.0-fluendo-mp3 gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly and maybe gstreamer1.0-libav (which does video too) - but please note i'm no expert | 00:32 |
| p0a | guiverc: thank you, still no audio, I'm guessing I forgot the drivers | 00:33 |
| p0a | `ubuntu-drivers devices' doesn't show up anything | 00:34 |
| zerabat | guiverc: those are audio codecs to play audio files with certain formats, not audio device drivers | 00:34 |
| p0a | maybe I'll manually have to figure it out | 00:35 |
| guiverc | i thought the issue was playing mp3s (ie. codec issue) - sorry | 00:35 |
| zerabat | what audio device do you have? | 00:35 |
| zerabat | can you run in a terminal "lspci"? | 00:35 |
| Mead | does the "system" of a 64 bit ubuntu install use more ram for the system than the "system" of a 32bit ubuntu like a 64 bit windows install uses more ram than 32bit install? | 00:37 |
| zerabat | or simply lspci | grep "Audio" | 00:37 |
| zerabat | Mead: I guess yes | 00:37 |
| Mead | so if I'm gonna run it in a vm with only 1gig of ram, going with a 32bit install would be better? | 00:38 |
| zerabat | Mead: please add to the VM a few hundred MB more just in case | 00:39 |
| lapaga | Mead, is that 1g for the vm or 1g total ? | 00:39 |
| zerabat | It could be to tight due to GNOME | 00:39 |
| zerabat | if it's another flavour, then 1 GB would be OK | 00:39 |
| Mead | I'm using "server" without a gui | 00:40 |
| lapaga | ubuntu with gnome will not run with 1g | 00:40 |
| zerabat | ^ | 00:40 |
| zerabat | If it's server, I'm not sure, but since it's without a GUI, should be OK | 00:40 |
| phil42 | will not run? or will not run well? | 00:41 |
| zerabat | https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/preparing-to-install.html | 00:43 |
| Mead | well I was just wondering if it was worth if there would be an advantage going with a 32bit for ubuntu linux if you have under 4gigs of ram like there is with windows. | 00:45 |
| zerabat | according to the link above, Ubuntu Server should be OK with 1 GB RAM | 00:47 |
| Bashing-om | Mead: Keep in mind that 32 bit ISOs are being droped. | 00:51 |

| eric_lee | vivus: vi /etc/sudoers then :abc ALL= NOPASSWD:ALL | 02:06 |
| vivus | eric_lee: why didn't: `adduser USERNAME sudo` fix it? | 02:07 |
| leftyfb | vivus: boot with a live cd, mount your root filesystem and undo whatever changes you made to /etc/suoders | 02:07 |
| jerrysegers | Is there a place where I could learn what options were turned on at compile time Specifically is the joystick option in my QT (bionic mate) | 02:15 |

| bgilb | I expanded a virtualbox VDI to add 5GB, rebooted the VM into a ubuntu live cd (16.04), and opened gparted but can't seem to resize the root parition. Any ideas? | 05:36 |
| bgilb | i'll try the gparted live cd instead | 05:42 |
| bgilb | yeah that didn't work either.. wtf | 05:46 |
| guiverc | bgilb, gparted will expand non-mounted partitions easily; if you're having issues its likely because its mounted (in use) | 05:46 |
| bgilb | theres no lock symbol or anything | 05:48 |
| bgilb | https://imgur.com/a/O1o2UT5 | 05:49 |
| Flannel | bgilb: You're trying to resize it to what? | 05:50 |
| bgilb | 6 + 5 so 11 | 05:51 |
| Flannel | Oh, you want to make it bigger? | 05:51 |
| Flannel | bgilb: So, you can't expand it because sda2 is right next to it. Luckily, sda2 (and with it sda5) are just swap, so there's no data there. Which makes it easier. | 05:51 |
| Flannel | bgilb: You'll need to move sda5 (and sda2) to the end of your disk, which will free up 5GB in the middle (adjacent to sda1), and then you can expand it. | 05:52 |
| Flannel | bgilb: Another way to do that would be to just remove swap/sda2/sda5, expand sda1, then re-add sda2/sda5 | 05:52 |
| Flannel | bgilb: But since it appears you're using a new-ish version of gparted, you should be able to literally "move" that, instead of having to remove/recreate. | 05:53 |
| bgilb | thank you! deleting it did the trick | 05:59 |

| eric_lee | maxcell_:you can uninstall the nvidia driver and install the older | 06:45 |

| maxcell_ | it says 384 but on the description it says "transitional package for nvidia-390" | 06:46 |
| Flannel | maxcell_: transitional packages are packages that just point to a newer package. | 06:46 |
| maxcell_ | Flannel, so, to have the 384 driver i gotta install this one: | 06:47 |
| maxcell_ | nvidia-375/bionic 384.111-0ubuntu1 amd64 | 06:47 |
| maxcell_ | Transitional package for nvidia-384 | 06:47 |
| Flannel | maxcell_: Their primary purpose is to ease transitions from one version of Ubuntu to another. | 06:47 |
| maxcell_ | understand | 06:47 |
| maxcell_ | so, nvidia-375 = 384 | 06:48 |
| Flannel | maxcell_: nvidia-375 doesn't install anything. But nvidia-375 will install nvidia-384 for you, which will install 384 | 06:49 |
| maxcell_ | but it's saying on apt-get that it will install nvidia-dkms-390 as well | 06:49 |
| maxcell_ | along with nvidida-384 | 06:49 |
| maxcell_ | so it will automatically updates to 390/ | 06:50 |
| maxcell_ | or not | 06:50 |
| Flannel | maxcell_: so, it appears that nvidiea-384 is actually a transitional package too, for -390 | 06:50 |

| elichai2 | (these lines gets created every time I plug and unplug the C dock) | 07:37 |
| elichai2 | ideas on what other logs to look at? | 07:37 |
| auronandace | elichai2: the dock doesn't work when you try to hotplug it but it works fine when booting with it? | 07:41 |
| elichai2 | yeah | 07:43 |
| elichai2 | altough I'm not sure if it's a hot plug issue or it's just works only one time per boot lol, i'll try rebooting wait for it to load and only then connect | 07:44 |
| auronandace | elichai2: your paste suggests that it can't find a suitable driver but if it works fine from booting there must be something else wrong | 07:44 |
| elichai2 | yeah I just tested and it's not about hot plugging, it just only works once per boot :\ | 07:48 |
| auronandace | elichai2: does the dock have its own graphics card or connects to a monitor? | 07:49 |
| elichai2 | it connects to 2 DP monitors | 07:49 |
| elichai2 | this is the Xorg.0.log now after a boot and the dock works http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/3DqhMc43V9/ | 07:50 |
| auronandace | elichai2: that is why you can see modeset in your paste with monitor information | 07:50 |
| lrb | I'm having troubles with automount on Ubuntu Mate. All of my duplicity backups are on an external disk and now when I try to access them after a fresh install, Caja is telling me I don't have the right permissions to the disk. | 07:50 |
| lrb | Where can I go to modify the automount permissions? | 07:51 |
| auronandace | !fstab | lrb | 07:51 |
| ubottu | lrb: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.pclosmag.com/html/Issues/200709/page07.html and !Partitions | 07:51 |
| lrb | fstab doesn't manage automount for USB disks, does it? | 07:51 |
| SlidingHorn | 000000000000000522222222222226666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666660 | 07:53 |
| elichai2 | auronandace: ok. how can I debug that? | 07:53 |
| SlidingHorn | [d[8$ | 07:53 |
| guiverc | lrb, i've used fstab to mount external drives on ubuntu (ext4 fs, up to 16.04 anyway) | 07:54 |
| lrb | I know there's a config file that manages the default permissions for all automount actions somewhere. I just want to know where it is. fstab is not how automount is managed. | 07:55 |
| fxnoob | hello, I managed to kill an usb stick, modified it with gparted, now both linux and windows mount it read-only, is any method to fix it? Or I can throw it away? :) | 07:55 |
| lrb | fxnoob are you familiar with terminal commands at all? | 07:56 |
| auronandace | elichai2: i'm not too sure sorry. i'm guessing a dock like that isn't designed to be used as a hotplugged device. if it has its own graphics card... usually graphics cards are not hotpluggable devices. this is probably why it only works when you boot with it plugged in | 07:56 |
| fxnoob | lrb: kinda | 07:56 |
| lrb | Do you know the path to the device in /dev? | 07:57 |
| fxnoob | problem is I don't have it right now on me, is at home, but I will ask again when I get out of work | 07:58 |
| auronandace | elichai2: one thing i can suggest: run lsmod when booted without the dock and do it again when booted with the doc then you can compare the two to see the difference in the kernel modules loaded | 07:58 |
| lrb | Good idea, fxnoob | 07:58 |
| fxnoob | another question, is any support for Ryzen cpu's with Vega graphics in 18.04? Support as in accelerated video + hdmi sound. Ryzen 3 2200G and Ryzen 5 2400G | 08:01 |
| fxnoob | I tried beta, but it was a fail, basic vga and no sound at all | 08:01 |
| fxnoob | AMD provides drivers for win 10 x64 only on their site | 08:03 |
| elichai2 | auronandace: sounds weird that there's a gpu inside the dock. and as I said it does works with hot plug but only once per boot | 08:05 |
| auronandace | elichai2: you can still compare the lsmod outputs to see any difference in drivers | 08:06 |
| jink | fxnoob: You sure? https://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Ubuntu%20x86%2064 | 08:07 |
| elichai2 | i'll try, I just don't want to reboot right now. any other directions? | 08:07 |
| auronandace | elichai2: nothing i can think of. sorry i'm not much help | 08:08 |
| elichai2 | ok, If anyone else have ideas it would be great :) | 08:11 |

| gartral | FlameStrike: are you on a secondary computer? | 08:20 |
| FlameStrike | At the moment, yes | 08:22 |

| vali | can anyone take a look at -> https://pastebin.com/eQGpq7z9 pls ? | 08:30 |
| vali | I'm trying to set the sudo defaults in AD. Using sssd for sudo | 08:31 |
| vali | and not seing anything when I run sudo -ll | 08:31 |
| fxnoob | jink: u are joking right? We are talking about 2018 technology | 08:32 |
| fxnoob | this cpu was released in february 2018, with 0 support for linux | 08:33 |
| blackflow | surely it's not a brand new ISA... | 08:33 |
| fxnoob | I was wondering if newer kernels from 18.04 contain drivers for these | 08:34 |
| blackflow | for what, Ryzen+ ? | 08:34 |
| fxnoob | Ryzen G, with integrated Vega graphics | 08:34 |
| blackflow | oh Vega... I wouldn't know about that, sorry. | 08:35 |
| blackflow | fxnoob: scan through some recent phoronix articles, iirc they did some tests | 08:35 |
| FlameStrike | I'm having trouble signing into 18.04. When I enter my password, the system just freezes. I can get into recovery mode, but from there I'm lost. | 08:36 |

| EriC^^ | FlameStrike: does /var/log/syslog show anything? or ~/.xsession-errors ? | 08:39 |
| eric_lee | FlameStrike:you can enter the single mode and change the password | 08:40 |
| FlameStrike | Let me see if I can access those files | 08:41 |
| FlameStrike | The password I'm enetring is accurate, that's not the problem | 08:41 |
| FlameStrike | I'm not able to get a directory list | 08:43 |
| FlameStrike | I've just gotten three messages | 08:43 |
| blackflow | FlameStrike: what's the error. | 08:43 |
| FlameStrike | 1: Timed out waiting for device | 08:43 |
| FlameStrike | 2: Dependency failed for /dev/disk/by-... | 08:44 |
| blackflow | FlameStrike: that's when running `ls` ? | 08:44 |
| FlameStrike | 3: Dependency failed for swap | 08:44 |
| FlameStrike | I think that was unrelated to my attempt to get a directory listing | 08:44 |
| blackflow | so what's the error when you type `ls` ? | 08:45 |
| FlameStrike | "ls" and "dir" give no messages, they just kick me to a new command prompt without listing any directories or files | 08:45 |
| blackflow | FlameStrike: how about ls -la ? | 08:46 |
| darthrocker | i am not sure if this is the correct chan. i recently reinstalled a fresh copy of bionic and then installed i3wm. I have zero audio. i have run sound-test and the speakers do work. I have Not tried playing anything locally, just through browsers; firefox, chromium and google-chrome.. nada | 08:47 |
| FlameStrike | that worked, I've got a listing now | 08:47 |
| blackflow | darthrocker: i3 being a minimalistic tiling wm, and not a whole desktop environment, probably there's no initialization for pulseaudio. | 08:48 |
| Zajt | How do I make the /tmp folder not writeable by other users? Right now root owns it | 08:48 |
| FlameStrike | OK, i've found the syslog file, How do I open it? | 08:49 |
| blackflow | darthrocker: I think you can use 'pavucontrol' program for that, and run some bindsym's in the i3 config if you have a multimedia kbd | 08:49 |
| EriC^^ | FlameStrike: sudo cat /var/log/syslog | nc termview.me 9999 | 08:50 |
| EriC^^ | share the link here | 08:50 |
| blackflow | FlameStrike: for starters, run journalctl -n -p err | nc termbin.com 9999 -- that should give you an URL you can paste here. that pastebins the journal listing of latest errors | 08:50 |
| blackflow | or do what EriC^^ just stated, but that's the whole syslog being dumped.... might take a while. | 08:51 |
| FlameStrike | I can't get online with that machine at the moment. I'm in recovery mode with a command line | 08:51 |
| darthrocker | thank you backflow, got it | 08:51 |
| EriC^^ | FlameStrike: in recovery mode theres "start networking" | 08:51 |
| tarzeau | can i have gnome-control-center without whoopsie, aptdaemon, wpasupplicant? | 08:52 |
| FlameStrike | I tried that, everytime I do, it freezes up at "started update utmp about system runlevel changes" | 08:52 |
| tarzeau | and without netowrk-manager? | 08:52 |
| tdn | EriC^^, what to put in the cronjob? I guess it will not go well to just put "apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade -y" ? | 08:52 |
| tdn | ducasse, what script though? | 08:52 |
| SlashLife^work | Morning. On 16.04 (Unity, I think), is there a way to execute a GUI app in full screen or maximized? | 08:53 |
| ducasse | tdn: just create one | 08:54 |
| spikebike | that's app specific as far I know | 08:54 |
| blackflow | FlameStrike: do you know if you have a "regular consumer network" there? the IPs being in the 192.168.1.x range or something? | 08:54 |
| EriC^^ | tdn: in general it's not a good idea to dist-upgrade blindly | 08:54 |
| spikebike | Passing in a geometry for full screen might do it, depending on the window manager you can ask for no decorations | 08:54 |
| EriC^^ | maybe reconsider stuff | 08:55 |
| FlameStrike | As in my ISP, or my home network? | 08:55 |
| SlashLife^work | spikebike: Not the answer I wanted to hear; but at least I can stop looking for a generic solution then, thanks! o/ | 08:55 |
| tdn | EriC^^, exactly. That is why I want to use the unattended-upgrades system. | 08:56 |
| === mquin is now known as Guest54612 | ||
| FlameStrike | OK, my home network used those numbers, yeah | 08:57 |
| === Guest54612 is now known as mquin | ||
| blackflow | FlameStrike: perhaps you can then try force a static IP, just to get online. first, do you know the name of the network interface? something like enp3s0 or similar? | 09:00 |
| blackflow | FlameStrike: `ip link show` the first one will be "1: lo: ..." so is there a second one? | 09:01 |
| FlameStrike | Yeah, there is a second one, and I've got the name | 09:02 |
| blackflow | FlameStrike: which name is it? | 09:03 |
| FlameStrike | enp2s0 | 09:03 |
| blackflow | FlameStrike: okay, try set a static IP. ip addr add 192.168.1.123/24 dev enp2s0 | 09:03 |
| blackflow | FlameStrike: that assumes .123 will be free in your assumingly DHCP network in the 192.168.1.0/24 range | 09:04 |
| blackflow | FlameStrike: then set up routing: ip route add default via 192.168.1.1/24 -- and that assumes the gateway is at 192.168.1.1 | 09:05 |
| blackflow | chances are the numbers are correct, if you have a "typical home network" there. you can test by pinging google, eg. ping -c 2 8.8.8.8 | 09:06 |
| blackflow | if that works, you've got network and can pastebin that syslog. | 09:06 |
| FlameStrike | Well, the first one seems to have gone OK, but the second one says "Error: any valid address is expected rather than 192.168.1.1/24 | 09:07 |
| blackflow | FlameStrike: try ip route add default def enp2s0 | 09:08 |
| blackflow | dev not def | 09:08 |
| FlameStrike | "error: device for nexthop is not up." | 09:09 |
| blackflow | FlameStrike: try ip route add default via 192.168.1.1 dev enp2s0 | 09:12 |
| FlameStrike | Nexthop has invalid gateway | 09:13 |
| blackflow | FlameStrike: well then I suppose the addresses ARE wrong after all. You wouldn't know the IP range and gateway in your home network, would you? | 09:15 |
| blackflow | FlameStrike: have another computer you can check from? like the one you're on now? | 09:15 |
| interrobangd | hello, can someone say what "m" mean? i.e. "CONFIG_PSTORE_RAM=m"? | 09:16 |
| blackflow | interrobangd: it means "build it as module" | 09:16 |
| blackflow | "y" embeds it in the kernel direclty, "m" builds a module and "n" disables the option | 09:16 |
| FlameStrike | I tried looking that up with this machine, yeah, and I tried plugging in the numbers from what I was told was the gateway address | 09:16 |
| interrobangd | thx | 09:17 |
| interrobangd | blackflow, and what are the name of the module? | 09:17 |
| FlameStrike | I also tried the numbers from the range extender just in case the gateway signal was too weak | 09:17 |
| NoCode | What's a good reminder/alarm app? | 09:18 |
| blackflow | interrobangd: no idea, maybe pstore_ram ? | 09:18 |
| blackflow | interrobangd: some quick google search suggests "ramoops" will be the module name | 09:19 |
| blackflow | interrobangd: https://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/PSTORE_RAM.html | 09:19 |
| interrobangd | dont find it on lsmod output | 09:19 |
| blackflow | FlameStrike: maybe I'm overthinkging this. Maybe you could just run dhclient enp2s0 :) | 09:20 |
| interrobangd | there are no modules with "oop" or "ram" or "store" | 09:21 |
| NoCode | "W: Download is performed unsandboxed as root as file '/root/.synaptic/tmp//tmp_sh' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)" -- What the heck is that? | 09:21 |
| blackflow | interrobangd: so they're not loaded | 09:21 |
| FlameStrike | Well, that hasn't produced an error message yet. It also hasn't given me a new command prompt either. | 09:22 |
| blackflow | FlameStrike: it should, after a few seconds. If not, then there's another problem, and you can Ctrl-C the current task. | 09:24 |
| FlameStrike | I hit Ctrl-C | 09:25 |
| interrobangd | blackflow, you are right, thank you | 09:25 |
| interrobangd | its monday^^ | 09:25 |
| FlameStrike | On that note, Ctrl-C is some kind of abort command? | 09:25 |
| blackflow | FlameStrike: yes, I believe it sends the ABORT signal to the running process. | 09:26 |
| blackflow | *ABRT | 09:26 |
| blackflow | no, sorry, INT, SIGINT (interrupt) | 09:27 |
| FlameStrike | That's a piece of the puzzle I may have been missing. I've hit that button combo a few times, not knowing what it was when it froze on the Enable networking option from the recovery menu | 09:27 |
| FlameStrike | I'm going to see where it freezes when I try that menu option again | 09:27 |
| blackflow | FlameStrike: it's also possible that your previous attempts to start the network service have derped something so this attempt at static or running dhclient direclty, is failing. | 09:28 |
| FlameStrike | Possible, but I hadn't tried anything like that since the last reboot | 09:29 |
| blackflow | FlameStrike: if you can't get the recovery env with networking enabled, try rebooting and don't enable networking, but try running dhclient enp2s0 directly. | 09:29 |
| blackflow | I suspect enabling networkign causes an avalanche of systemd events and services and whatnots being run. | 09:30 |
| FlameStrike | I'm seeing it freeze up while doing something swap related. I don't know that's the problem or just a coincidence though. | 09:30 |
| soversuit | alternate on switch | 09:31 |
| blackflow | FlameStrike: ah.... yes. swap is swapfile now, and the root is readonly in rescue env. | 09:32 |
| blackflow | FlameStrike: try this then. reboot into rescue mode but don't choose enable networking. when you get the prompt, remount root as rw: mount -o remount,rw / | 09:32 |
| FlameStrike | Rebooting now | 09:32 |
| blackflow | FlameStrike: that makes the root filesystem writeable. THEN try starting the network. systemctl start network.target I believe, not sure. | 09:33 |
| soversuit | systemctl | 09:33 |
| FlameStrike | Failed to start network.service: Unit network.service not found | 09:37 |
| FlameStrike | Failed to start target.service: Unit target.service not found | 09:37 |

| blackflow | FlameStrike: target.service? did you type down network.target or network target (space instead of dot between them)? | 09:40 |
| FlameStrike | OK, there was supposed to be a . between them. OK, I couldn't tell | 09:41 |
| FlameStrike | Failed to start network.target: Operation refused, unit network.target may be requested by dependency only (it is configured to refuse manual star/stop). See System logs and 'systemctl status network.target' for details. | 09:43 |

| blackflow | FlameStrike: sorry, no idea how to proceed. I'd ask you to pastebin the logs but eh... that's teh whole point. As a last step, I'd reboot and try not using the network service setup, but just run dhclient enp2s0. It _should_ on its own, be sufficient. | 09:47 |
| FlameStrike | Will do. I'm starting to suspect, though, that the swap may be a factor in this problem, and I may have to reinstall to try to fix it. | 09:49 |
| FlameStrike | Thanks for the attempt to help. | 09:59 |

| marcbof_ | hi | 10:15 |
| marcbof_ | how can i help the community? | 10:16 |
| marcbof_ | i speak english french and spanish | 10:16 |
| marcbof_ | and understand a little of all programing languanges | 10:16 |
| marcbof_ | just a little | 10:16 |
| marcbof_ | ebouggh to translate | 10:16 |
| blackflow | sasho199: what boot parameters? | 10:17 |
| sasho199 | blackflow: my system boots with nomodeset by default for some reason and I want to remove it | 10:18 |
| BluesKaj | Hi folks | 10:18 |
| blackflow | sasho199: you can edit kernel command line options in /etc/default/grub, variable GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT, it's a string taking space separated options, "quiet" and "splash" should be there by default | 10:19 |
| blackflow | sasho199: don't forget to run `update-grub` after you change that file. | 10:19 |
| sasho199 | blackflow: Can you want me step by step cause Im new to this sort of thing? What is the first thing I have to do? | 10:19 |
| sasho199 | blackflow: walk* | 10:20 |
| blackflow | sasho199: start a terminal program. run `sudo nano /etc/default/grub` . use cursor keys to position the caret just left of the last " on the line starting with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT. type in whatever kernel command line option you want to add, then hit Ctrl-X to exit, accept the changes. then run `sudo update-grub`. | 10:22 |
| 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? | 10:22 |
| blackflow | sasho199: sudo nano.... starts the "nano" text editor as superuser, for the /etc/default/grub file. sudo update-grub runs the update-grub command, which updates the grub options, as superuser. | 10:23 |
| blackflow | sasho199: btw, you need to start with a space, when adding stuff to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT, as options must be space separated, like quiet splash are now. | 10:24 |
| sasho199 | blackflow: ok I see nomodeset, which I want to remove | 10:24 |
| sasho199 | blackflow: Should I delete the whole: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="nomodeset" or just nomodeset? | 10:25 |
| seni | is it okay when in the output of `lsblk -f` a drive is only listed with a single line? so without a `-sdc1 ...` line beneath it for the drive sdc for example? | 10:25 |
| blackflow | sasho199: just nomodeset, leave ="" | 10:25 |
| blackflow | sasho199: technically I think you can remove the whole line, but I prefer to have some defaults explicitly set, even if empty. | 10:26 |
| sasho199 | blackflow: Ok now its just GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="", how do I exit and save changes now? | 10:26 |
| blackflow | sasho199: Ctrl-X and it'll ask you if you want to save the changes, so hit Y or whatever is it, don't remember right now. | 10:26 |
| sasho199 | blackflow: And now "sudo update-grub"? | 10:27 |
| blackflow | sasho199: yes | 10:27 |
| seni | is my question poorly phrased or just wrong channel? | 10:28 |
| sasho199 | blackflow: Ok, done anything else? | 10:28 |
| blackflow | sasho199: that's it, as far as changing the default kernel command line options via grub is concerned. | 10:28 |
| blackflow | sasho199: you'll have to reboot if you want to boot without that option. | 10:29 |
| Bugzie | sasho199: How that's the proper way to update grub conrfig | 10:30 |
| sasho199 | blackflow: So far I was removing it before every boot, because my system did not work with it as I recall | 10:30 |
| blackflow | sasho199: then you don't have to reboot, unless you want to confirm the change :) | 10:30 |
| sasho199 | Bugzie: I don't understand you question? | 10:30 |
| NoCode | There are zero functioning alarms now in the repository. kalarm won't run in Budgie. alarm-clock's UI is all messed up. there used to be a functioning alarm-clock-ng or something like that, that used to work which is no longer there. | 10:30 |
| sasho199 | blackflow: Thanks for your help! | 10:31 |
| Bugzie | sasho199: That's how you want to change Kernel line, save, and reboot | 10:31 |
| NoCode | Gnome clocks doesn't want to minimize to the tray in Budgie. | 10:31 |
| NoCode | When closed, it doesn't work. | 10:31 |
| BluesKaj | think nomodeset should have quotation marks | 10:34 |
| blackflow | BluesKaj: read full backlog on the issue ;) | 10:36 |
| BluesKaj | can't, got here too late | 10:36 |
| BluesKaj | blackflow, https://askubuntu.com/questions/38780/how-do-i-set-nomodeset-after-ive-already-installed-ubuntu | 10:37 |
| blackflow | BluesKaj: the user wanted to remove nomodeset from the command line. | 10:37 |
| BluesKaj | then replace with "quiet splash" | 10:37 |
| blackflow | BluesKaj: only if quite and splash are a wanted option. | 10:38 |
| blackflow | *quiet | 10:38 |
| BluesKaj | not quite , but quiet | 10:38 |
| blackflow | yah, I corrected myself. | 10:38 |

| sasho199 | Is there any way I can make sure that my hardware is working correctly through a terminal command? | 10:40 |
| blackflow | sasho199: journalctl -n -p err will list any obvious, logged errors. | 10:40 |
| Bugzie | sasho199: Why do you assume that the kernel isn't working? | 10:40 |
| blackflow | sasho199: it lists all things logged as errors, not just hardware issues. hardware issues will be logged through the kernel channel, most likely. so you could also use the -k option for journalctl to list just the kernel facility | 10:42 |
| blackflow | and sometimes stuff is not logged as error, while it in fact is error. so, read them all and see what might be relevant :) | 10:43 |
| Bugzie | sasho199: TO be clear, Linux kernel, just as Windows 10, have more realibility | 10:44 |

| Bugzie | Dose not respect it | 10:47 |
| Bugzie | So, " | 10:47 |
| blackflow | sasho199: "err" was for -p so: -k or -k -p err | 10:48 |
| Bugzie | Grub does not respect it | 10:48 |
| Bugzie | Grub 2 | 10:48 |
| sasho199 | blackflow: I get two things: "Bluetooth: hci0: Failed to load rtl_bt/rtl8821a_config.bin" and "tpm_crb MSFT0101:00: can't request region for resource [mem 0xfed40080-0xfed40fff]", I dont understand the second one at all | 10:49 |
| blackflow | sasho199: the former is a missing firmware binary it seems, and the latter is something about the TPM (trusted computing) chip. probably nothing to worry about. | 10:51 |
| blackflow | sasho199: do you have any apparent issues you're trying to track down? | 10:51 |
| sasho199 | blackflow: Why I wanted to check is, because I had to do some weird stuff to install and for the system to work(becuase of nvidia driver), now everything seems to work correctly. I read that some grub parameters can turn off important hardware features so I wanted to check | 10:53 |
| blackflow | sasho199: btw, the `man` command invokes the nice manual pages. `man journalctl` will give you one for journalctl. you should really check the manpages of each command you're given and you're not familiar with. | 10:53 |
| sasho199 | blackflow: That is very helpful, I was looking at internet guides until now | 10:54 |

| sasho199 | blackflow: I do try to understand the commands people tell me before writing them mindlessly to the terminal, I also read that I should never write encoded commands | 10:57 |
| 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? | 10:57 |
| blackflow | sasho199: encoded? | 10:57 |
| sasho199 | blackflow: A command that has been fed through an encoding angorithm so a human cannot read it but the terminal still can, I dont know much about it, have seen it only once | 10:58 |
| lapaga | sasho199, did you not just say everything is working correctly? why mess with things until they break when there is no reason | 10:58 |
| blackflow | sasho199: ah, definitely :) | 10:58 |
| sasho199 | lapaga, blackflow: Well I dont really know if everything is working correctly, it just seems to me like that. But you are right, I just wanted to check. | 11:04 |
| sasho199 | lapaga, blackflow: To be fair, Im just trying to get into linux and see what I can do on it | 11:07 |
| BluesKaj | sasho199, well, experimenting is one thing , but asking for support when you muck things up is not a positive learning method and it takes up time from those who have real issues | 11:14 |

| kekmeizter | Anyone here familiar with rsyslog and how i can extract a part of the logentry that is "severity"? | 11:22 |
| blackflow | kekmeizter: for existing log entries, if it's not part of the message, then you can't. for future log entries you can edit the log format. quick googling suggests it's done via "template" directives. | 11:24 |

| yuz | I want to add another user on my computer as administrator also which mean there will be going to have a two administrator on one computer. But I don't want to see each other files even using a sudo command. What can I do? | 11:39 |
| kekmeizter | blackflow: It is part of the message (if i understand what message is). I only need to fix it for future log entries, but i would rather parse it differently than change the log format | 11:39 |
| yuz | I want to add another user on my computer as administrator also which mean there will be going to have a two administrator on one computer. But I don't want to see each other files even using a sudo command. What can I do? | 11:39 |
| spikebike | encypt your files | 11:40 |
| spikebike | even then you still have to trust the other admin | 11:40 |
| TaZeR | yuz: root and sudo by definition override almost every other setting, maybe instead of giving them root access you can give them a highly privilaged set of rules for their user | 11:41 |
| TaZeR | but yea encryption would work well, try CryFS it expands on the popular encs and is easy to use | 11:43 |
| TaZeR | encfs* | 11:43 |
| Squall5668 | Someone with full sudo access can easily log the password for your encrypted files. The only solution is to NOT give sudo access to someone you do not trust with your files. That is the only way | 11:48 |
| kekmeizter | blackflow: Even if i had to change the format how would i need to format the logmessage to make rsyslog pickup on the severity? | 11:49 |

| paddy | will synaptic install dependancies? | 12:36 |
| lapaga | yes it will but i have no idea which version it has | 12:37 |
| blackflow | kekmeizter: syslog logs pure text, so unless the already logged lines contain the parseable severity (which afaik it doesn't by default), then you have to create a new logging template that includes severity. exactly how to do that, I don't know, please consult the rsyslog documentation. | 12:37 |
| paddy | lapaga: okay, answering the original question, what would be the best way to search for the deps? | 12:37 |
| blackflow | kekmeizter: but since all those logs are going through journald, why just not use the journald's facilities? | 12:38 |
| Squall5668 | because journald cannot send logs | 12:39 |
| blackflow | afaik it can, if you're talking about remotely fetching. I think it's over http, and you have to pull, not push, the entries. | 12:39 |
| Squall5668 | That won't work for most things. For examle elastic, which is the flavor of the year (or so) | 12:40 |
| blackflow | I see. I guess changing the syslog format is the only way then. OR, split up messages into multiple files by severity. | 12:40 |

| NoImNotNineVolt | how does ubuntu's package differ from debian's, generally? | 13:49 |
| xirg | what do the numbers inside parentheses mean in file names | 13:50 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | presumably the debian maintainers are the ones backporting security fixes, right? | 13:50 |
| xirg | for example, the sample smb.conf file contains this: "You should read the | 13:50 |
| xirg | # smb.conf(5) manual page in order to..." | 13:50 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | do the ubuntu maintainers generally do any additional backports beyond that? or is ubuntu's apache2 basically a repackaging of debian's? | 13:51 |
| fofalee | Wulf: how do I learn linking if I don't get the opportunity to... | 13:51 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | the reason i ask is because apache2 2.4.26 introduced a "feature" which is actually a fix for an unexpected breaking change introduced in 2.4.0 | 13:52 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | unfortunately, this feature isn't getting backported to apache2 in trusty or xenial. | 13:52 |
| JimBuntu | xirg, The number in the parenthesis relates to the section of the man entry | 13:53 |
| Squall5668 | xirg: it's the manpage section. Check man man | 13:53 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | which maintainer would i need to lobby to get that feature backported? debian's or ubuntu's? | 13:53 |
| Squall5668 | NoImNotNineVolt: You can file a bug report for the package on ubuntu and it will be sent to upstream if needed. Of course, you could check debian's package yourself and see if it's also valid for it | 13:54 |
| Squall5668 | So you can file the report against debian's package | 13:55 |
| xirg | Thank you | 13:55 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | Squall5668: it is. it's also valid for upstream upstream vanilla apache. | 13:55 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | it was a bug in vanilla apache from 2.4.0 through 2.4.25 | 13:55 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | unfortunately, the fix isn't backported because it's technically a new feature, not a security/bugfix. | 13:56 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | so trusty (2.4.7) and xenial (2.4.18 i think) still have no fix. | 13:57 |
| aleksander | i have to type „/etc/init.d/amixer-webui start” on every system boot manually. is there a fast way to have this done automatically? | 13:57 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | and i believe that's the case for debian as well, on the same grounds. | 13:57 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | new features aren't backported, because then you're backporting everything, and so you're not really backporting, you're just pushing a new version :P | 13:57 |
| Squall5668 | Try to cat /etc/debian_version for now, to check which upstream is correct if you want to report against that | 13:59 |
| Wulf | fofalee: link to other libraries. | 14:00 |
| Wulf | fofalee: -lm would be a good start. | 14:00 |

| Ezro | Hey everyone. I'm running Ubuntu 18.04 and have installed Sway (0.15.0). How can I launch Sway with sudo permissioning from the login dropdown menu? | 14:18 |
| yeats | dekatch: I think it's best to just use whatever's available natively though - I used to try to shoehorn Windows apps onto Ubuntu/other Linux, but in the end it's not worth it (unless you have to use a specific app for work or something) | 14:18 |

| yeats | Ezro: are you asking how to create a menu item? if so, look into menulibre | 14:19 |

| matic | Anyone else with 18.04 having the 'bash script opens in editor' even when setting as executable is true? | 14:26 |
| leftyfb | matic: that's not a bug. | 14:26 |
| leftyfb | matic: Might I suggest creating a .desktop file to run your shell script | 14:27 |
| Ezro | brainwash: Thanks for the links. I'm still admittedly a bit confused. Since brightnessctl is already installed, would I need to follow the udev route? | 14:28 |
| brainwash | Ezro: I guess so. copy the 90-brightnessctl.rules over to /etc/udev/rules.d/ | 14:29 |

| leftyfb | matic: yes it was. If you need to open a shell script by doubleclicking it, then you'll need to set it's file association to open with bash. Why can't you just run the script name in a terminal? Or make a .desktop file? | 14:32 |

| NoImNotNineVolt | what are the odds that /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_autoindex.so from ubuntu 18.04 will run in ubuntu 14.04? | 14:34 |
| leftyfb | NoImNotNineVolt: I wouldn't | 14:34 |
| yeats | NoImNotNineVolt: what's the reason you're trying to do that? | 14:35 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | or am i risking the wrath of god by even thinking such things? | 14:35 |
| matic | leftyfb, thanks, just blundered into the nautilus settings (gnome-terminal -e "MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=2.1 blender") | 14:35 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | yeats: there's a mod_autoindex bugfix in apache 2.4.26 for a bug introduced in 2.4.0 but it will never get backported. | 14:35 |
| Bugzie | very unlikely | 14:35 |
| yeats | NoImNotNineVolt: you can probably see what libraries won't work with 'ldd mod_autoindex.so' | 14:35 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | i'm on ubuntu 14.04 with apache 2.4.7 | 14:35 |
| Bugzie | Apache API/ABI might have changed significantly that will it will fail | 14:36 |

| Ezro | brainwash: I copied the rules file over and restarted but nothing happened. Do I need to run a command to execute the new rules? | 14:36 |
| yeats | NoImNotNineVolt: yeah, I wouldn't expect it to work | 14:36 |
| Bugzie | Unless they back port Apache | 14:36 |
| xirg | can samba be configured to allow mounting of a share from an outside network | 14:36 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | they backport security fixes all the time :P | 14:36 |
| brainwash | Ezro: no | 14:36 |
| brainwash | Ezro: or wait | 14:36 |
| Bugzie | Security != features | 14:36 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | and features that fix bugs != bugfixes | 14:37 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | i know, i already went through that with upstream :P | 14:37 |
| yeats | NoImNotNineVolt: another option might be to seek out a trustworthy PPA that contains the version you want | 14:37 |
| Bugzie | features don't fix bugz | 14:37 |
| qwerty_ | suggest me good themes for ubunutu gnome? | 14:37 |
| leftyfb | xirg: samba doesn't mount anything. But yes, you can mount a filesystem onto a samba share and as long as you have proper permissions, it'll work | 14:37 |
| Bugzie | They introduce a something new | 14:37 |
| yeats | NoImNotNineVolt: or install from source | 14:37 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | yeats: i've already found one. | 14:37 |
| yeats | ah | 14:37 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | installing from source would introduce a 24/7 patching burden that i can't afford. | 14:37 |
| yeats | NoImNotNineVolt: yeah - it's all about tradeoffs :-) | 14:38 |
| qwerty_ | can u guys name any? | 14:38 |
| leftyfb | qwerty_: that's not a support question. Please try themes and choose based on your own personal preferences | 14:38 |
| brainwash | Ezro: is your user in the 'video' group? check with the command "groups" | 14:38 |
| xirg | leftyfb, that's waht I meant. I want to mount my /var/www ubuntu directory on a windows machine from another domain | 14:38 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | but i'm also iffy about using a 3rd party ppa, even a good one. | 14:38 |
| leftyfb | xirg: that'll be fine, as long as you have the share, mount and permissions set properly | 14:38 |
| qwerty_ | brainwash i just ur suggestion . thats all | 14:39 |
| Ezro | brainwash: I'm not, it seems. | 14:39 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | considering setting up a 14.04 dev box, building new apache from source, taking mod_autoindex.so from there and copying it to my prod box. | 14:39 |
| === r0Oter is now known as r00ter | ||
| NoImNotNineVolt | at least the deps will be correct then. | 14:39 |
| leftyfb | NoImNotNineVolt: it would be quicker to just move your site to apache on Ubuntu 18.04 | 14:39 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | not an approved os here yet. | 14:39 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | we just moved to 14.04 :'( | 14:40 |
| leftyfb | NoImNotNineVolt: then they don't get that feature | 14:40 |
| yeats | NoImNotNineVolt: agreed about the PPA wariness... I would definitely proceed with caution | 14:40 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | to clarify, we just moved to 14.04 and to 2.4.7, which means we just introduced the bug that exists in 2.4.0-2.4.25 | 14:40 |
| brainwash | Ezro: sudo usermod -a -G video <USERNAME> | 14:40 |
| brainwash | Ezro: then relog | 14:40 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | so we broke out stuff, and the "feature" that fixes that bug doesn't really look like a "feature" from my point of view :P | 14:41 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | s/out/our/ | 14:41 |
| Bugzie | To clarify, I am not sure you know what you are doing, features, doesn't fix bugs | 14:41 |
| leftyfb | Bugzie: don't be rude | 14:42 |
| yeats | NoImNotNineVolt: <unsolicited_advice>come up with a couple of viable options with pros and cons and let your bosses decide how they want to proceed - that way it's not your fault :-)</unsolicited_advice> | 14:42 |

| brainwash | Ezro: you're welcome | 14:42 |
| Bugzie | NoImNotNineVolt: I think, what yeats suggested, compile from source, if you want to remain on 14.04, would be ideal | 14:43 |
| Bugzie | Although, that would be tough to maintain | 14:43 |
| leftyfb | FSVO "ideal" | 14:43 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | i'm talking about building a new version from source and only moving the new mod_autoindex.so to prod. | 14:43 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | leaving the os-maintained binary apache in place otherwise. | 14:43 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | it's not clear to me how future updates would impact my custom .so though | 14:44 |
| yeats | NoImNotNineVolt: apt updates will probably break that setup, resulting in the same scenario you'd be in building the whole thing from source | 14:44 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | i can think of a few hackish workarounds there. | 14:45 |
| yeats | (i.e., something you'd have to patch manually all the time) | 14:45 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | i'm not sure about that. | 14:45 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | i think security updates would continue to get applied fine. | 14:45 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | they might clobber my custom .so every time | 14:45 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | but i could hack around that. | 14:45 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | indeed, how does dpkg apply security updates for apache2? | 14:46 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | presumably it only touches files that changed, right? | 14:46 |
| tgm4883 | NoImNotNineVolt: I would think for the most part your custom file would be fine, but as you suggest you may need to replace it. You'd also need to watch fixes that go into it so you can rebuild if necessary | 14:46 |
| tgm4883 | NoImNotNineVolt: that said, I'm slightly concerned that your only approved OS is one that ends support in less than a year | 14:47 |
| Squall5668 | NoImNotNineVolt: May I suggest a ppa for apache? Since you said your bug is only up to version 2.4.25 | 14:47 |
| Squall5668 | That would be way easier to maintain | 14:47 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | tgm4883: we just moved from 12.04. i hate my life. | 14:48 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | Squall5668: https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/ubuntu/apache2?field.series_filter=trusty | 14:49 |
| leftyfb | NoImNotNineVolt: why would you go to 14.04? That was released 4 years ago. | 14:49 |
| yeats | NoImNotNineVolt: it just clobbers as you thought - I would imagine it clobbers everything | 14:49 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | leftyfb: by cto decree | 14:49 |
| tgm4883 | NoImNotNineVolt: thats terrible. You should already be testing a new version to move to. Whether that is 16.04 or 18.04 | 14:49 |
| yeats | leftyfb: not that uncommon in orgs with tighly-controlled IT | 14:49 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | yeats: so then i just need a cron job to check the hash of that .so, and if it's not my hash, overwrite with my copy, restart apache, done. | 14:50 |
| leftyfb | NoImNotNineVolt: you have 11 months to move to 16.04 or 18.04 | 14:50 |
| yeats | NoImNotNineVolt: sounds reasonable | 14:50 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | leftyfb: that's what you think. again, we just moved from 12.04 :P | 14:50 |
| tgm4883 | NoImNotNineVolt: or use some form of configuration management for it (eg. puppet/salt/ansible) | 14:50 |
| yeats | yeah, I manage a box stuck on 12.04 too - we're slowly moving off of it :-/ | 14:50 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | tgm4883: it's enough of a pain to cobble this stuff together without having to then write ansible scripts for it :P | 14:51 |
| tgm4883 | NoImNotNineVolt: no, you have 11 months to move or you won't get security patches | 14:51 |
| Bugzie | tgm4883: That's a good idea | 14:51 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | tgm4883: welcome to the real world, where valid concerns like security are dismissed in the name of "?!?". | 14:51 |
| Bugzie | but if I was him, I would quit his job, and go work somewhere else | 14:51 |
| tgm4883 | NoImNotNineVolt: The plus side of doing that is it's a hell of a lot easier to move to a new version | 14:51 |
| tgm4883 | Bugzie: +1 on the looking for new employment | 14:51 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | have you never been in a situation where management prohibits the sane solution? :P | 14:52 |
| xirg | I'm in vim right now and I have made a few changes to a file I dont want to lose | 14:52 |
| leftyfb | NoImNotNineVolt: lets keep on topic | 14:52 |
| xirg | but i forgot to open with sudo, and i dont have permission to save righ tnow | 14:52 |
| tgm4883 | NoImNotNineVolt: Been in that situation. But generally speaking in those situations when you have a security issue you're going to be the one to blame | 14:52 |
| xirg | how can I save this without losing changes | 14:52 |
| tgm4883 | NoImNotNineVolt: in any case, as painful as your situation sounds, I have to go to a Dentist appointment. Good luck | 14:53 |
| Squall5668 | NoImNotNineVolt: Explain the cost of maintaining it manually. Do you not have checks by outside authorities wherever you are? How can you have an unmaintained OS? | 14:53 |
| leftyfb | xirg: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2600783/how-does-the-vim-write-with-sudo-trick-work first result on google for "vim write sudo" | 14:53 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | tgm4883: lol | 14:53 |
| yeats | tgm4883: NoImNotNineVolt: which is why you tell the CTO/whoever the options and let them tell you what to do :-) | 14:53 |
| Bugzie | "puppet/salt/ansible", never tried salt, but ansible is a good | 14:53 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | indeed, i'm a master of voicing concerns and then doing what i'm told either way. | 14:53 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | not my ass. | 14:53 |

| gpap | is anyone here experience problem with nautilus nautilus positioning on to the screen? | 15:01 |
| Bugzie | die7: OpenSSH runs as root, when a user logs in, they get spawned a new process owned by that user | 15:01 |

| m47h4r | how can i update from 16.10 to 18.04? is it even possible? | 15:17 |
| die7 | Bugzie: that is what I looking for | 15:17 |
| kostkon | m47h4r, not recommended yet. You'll be automatically prompted to upgrade when 18.04.1 comes out in a few months. but it is possible to force it, yes | 15:19 |
| m47h4r | kostkon: Oh! thank you very much | 15:19 |
| lapaga | from 16.10? | 15:20 |
| kostkon | oops i thought it was 16.04 | 15:20 |
| m47h4r | kostkon: so i must first update to 17.10? this pc isn't used in years :D | 15:21 |
| dekatch | put everything into home or onto some external and just do it xd. my philosophy. i cant wait if it comes to updates and such. but from normal to lts i dont know. guess you could wait for 18.10 then? | 15:22 |
| lapaga | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 15:22 |
| kostkon | m47h4r, my bad, it's not possible to upgrade from 16.10. 16.10 and 17.04 are eol so you'll have to do two eol upgrades in succession, and then another one from 17.10 to 18.04. it would probably better to just do a cliean install of 18.04 | 15:23 |
| m47h4r | Oh that would be really dangerous, i just lost my laptop through an accident and i can't risk loosing my pc too! i guess i have to wait for now :( | 15:24 |
| ioria | m47h4r, dangerous why ? | 15:25 |
| kostkon | m47h4r, there's not waiting in your case. i mean your installation is eol already, you'll have to upgrade eventually, the sooner the better | 15:25 |
| ioria | m47h4r, you cannot use your yakkety anyways | 15:25 |
| m47h4r | ioria: risking to loose my current files, i had them both on my laptop and pc, now my laptop is gone, i must not risk anything (my files are all on one HDD and i can't afford buying one now and there isn't enough space to resize and move to another partition) | 15:26 |
| Jordan_U | m47h4r: Your first goal then, *right now*, is to make good backups. | 15:28 |
| Jordan_U | m47h4r: You should never have only one copy of any data that you consider important. | 15:29 |
| ikkuranus | that or get the laptop back from whoever stole it | 15:29 |
| m47h4r | Jordan_U: how so? backup to what medium? | 15:29 |
| ioria | m47h4r, yes, i suggest a backup too | 15:29 |
| ioria | m47h4r, sdcard are relatively cheap | 15:29 |
| Jordan_U | m47h4r: That depends on what you have available, and what you need to back up. If you can't afford an external hard drive large enough for your files right now then at least take all of your important small files, libreoffice documents, text files, etc and back them up to a free googe/dropbox/ whatever account. | 15:30 |
| m47h4r | i guess there isn't any other solution. i must buy some storage | 15:30 |
| ioria | m47h4r, a dvd too | 15:31 |
| kostkon | m47h4r, depends on the size of the data you want to backup | 15:31 |
| ioria | m47h4r, a couples maybe | 15:31 |
| kostkon | m47h4r, plenty of free cloud storage | 15:31 |
| m47h4r | Jordan_U: Indeed, i will do that for as much files as i can. how much free space do these services offer? | 15:31 |
| vivus | hello. how do I fix this error: `sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified` even after my user is added to the sudo list | 15:33 |
| Jordan_U | m47h4r: Google drive offers 15 GiB for free, Dropbox is 2 GiB for free. | 15:33 |
| Jordan_U | vivus: Are you trying to run sudo from a script or interactively? | 15:33 |
| m47h4r | Jordan_U: thank you, that is good | 15:33 |
| Jordan_U | m47h4r: You're welcome. | 15:33 |
| vivus | Jordan_U: I am trying "sudo apt-get update" and it gives that error | 15:34 |
| m47h4r | thanks all of you guys :) must go upload | 15:34 |
| kostkon | m47h4r, your laptop probably has a card reader. a really cheap 32bg microSD from ebay (they always come with an sd adaptor for computers) would also suffice | 15:34 |
| dekatch | m47h4r, kinda just expiriences the same problem. my mobo gives me some postcode errors for my cpu or something. had to switch to an older one i had lying around until i figured out whats wrong with my pc. but i atleast got all my files and music and such on external drives. | 15:35 |

| kostkon | oh laptop ok | 15:37 |
| JimBuntu | m47h4r, sounds like the heatpipe or sink have come loose from the CPU. That's my initial guess | 15:37 |
| m47h4r | dekatch: well you are one step ahead of me | 15:37 |
| vivus | Jordan_U: any suggestions to debug this? | 15:37 |
| dekatch | m47h4r, 2TB mechanical drives are so cheap nowadays. not much to gain to keep up :P | 15:38 |
| m47h4r | JimBuntu: i opened it up myself, checked everything (visually!) but i couldn't tell what was the matter, so i left it at some Mr. Robot shop :D | 15:38 |
| m47h4r | dekatch: haha, well i may need to buy a new laptop, that is why i must wait for some days to figure out what happens to my love (laptop) | 15:39 |
| JimBuntu | m47h4r, Ok. Without removing the pipe/sink, cleaning, replacing compound and putting back together, I don't think a visual would have shown that the connection has come loose. Could be a number of different things, but that would be the first thing I checked. | 15:39 |
| m47h4r | JimBuntu: no no, i meant i didn't test anything (like ram check or something) i just opened all up, cleaned, and put together again | 15:40 |
| JimBuntu | m47h4r, Ah. Hopefully the robots treat you well. <fingers-crossed> | 15:41 |
| m47h4r | JimBuntu: thanks :) i hope so too | 15:42 |
| m47h4r | hope you all a great day, peace off fellows :) | 15:44 |

| dekatch | hi, im wondering if its possible to set up pavucontrol with pre-sets for different applications. e.g. for vlc i want 5.1 and for clementine i want 2.1? | 16:12 |
| dekatch | so that if i start either vlc or clementine pavuvontrol will use the pre defined settings automatically without me having to do it manually | 16:13 |
| matjam | dekatch: I'd make a wrapper script | 16:15 |
| matjam | though I don't know how I'd script pavucontrol | 16:16 |
| matjam | maybe it has a cli interface | 16:16 |
| ikkuranus | I assume you're decoding the audio on that machine otherwise you wouldn't eve need to deal with that | 16:17 |
| dekatch | ive a crappy old mobo i guess. that soundcard isnt really 100% supported ikkuranus . dont know either how to script pavucontrol. but its possible i guess. some quick google searches at least are promising. matjam | 16:20 |
| dekatch | perhaps i was looking for a simplier solution :) | 16:20 |
| matjam | dekatch: enjoy going down the rabbit hole. I always find, I learn something, even if I don't learn how to do what I want to do :P | 16:21 |
| ikkuranus | hdmi or even optical to an avr and let it auto pick what is needed | 16:22 |
| dekatch | matjam, well, i found https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1132200 this thread. it explains how to use pulseaudio via command line. but as said. wanted something simplier. i am only on that machine until my mobo+cpu are fixed | 16:22 |
| dekatch | not an option on this pc ikkuranus | 16:23 |
| ikkuranus | too small for a cheap gpu? | 16:23 |
| dekatch | i have an gpu | 16:23 |
| dekatch | could even connect it to my avr to my living room. but thats not where my pc is :) | 16:24 |
| ikkuranus | ah so I was correct in assuming the pc was doing the decoding and has analog speakers | 16:24 |
| dekatch | yep. but i got active speakers | 16:25 |
| dekatch | some 5.1 system | 16:25 |
| ikkuranus | well yeah I'd hope it had some kind of amp | 16:25 |
| matjam | i see | 16:26 |
| dekatch | id be glad if i could control each channel seperately. pavucontrol can manage that i can listen to all 5.1 channels. but i dont seem to be able to control each channel | 16:26 |
| dekatch | if i lower the volume on my subwoofer it also lowers the volume overall. kind of messy. | 16:26 |
| dekatch | tried pavucontrol. alsa. uhm yea. well | 16:27 |
| ikkuranus | surely the sub has it's own physical control | 16:28 |
| ikkuranus | its | 16:28 |
| dekatch | if i go to "settings > sound" my integrated 5.1 card isnt even listed. | 16:28 |
| ikkuranus | like on the wood or plastic etc | 16:29 |
| dekatch | yep ikkuranus works very well on my other system | 16:29 |
| dekatch | i could control each channel on my other asus board. currently i am on some older am2 socket. and ubuntu just doesnt recognize it properly. | 16:30 |
| dekatch | hoped to be able to get some older drivers. but no luck so far | 16:30 |

| oerheks | meatmanek, i see manpages installed, what makes you think it is not? | 16:43 |
| oerheks | dpkg -L manpages # gives a list from man1 to man7 | 16:43 |
| oerheks | or wait, man8 even.. | 16:43 |
| meatmanek | right, it's installed, but the man page files themselves are not | 16:44 |

| meatmanek | No manual entry for memusage | 16:44 |
| meatmanek | this doesn't just affect the manpages package - seems to affect anything that installs man pages | 16:44 |
| oerheks | maybe you need to logout/login again to take effect?? | 16:45 |
| oerheks | never seen this issue, and i cannot tell manpages were not installed from your pasebin | 16:45 |

| tgm4883 | Onepamopa: couldn't be that recent if you're talking about 16.04 | 16:52 |
| oerheks | Onepamopa, not sure it is, glad i found the answer | 16:53 |
| Onepamopa | tgm4883, actually 15.04, recently updated to 17.xx | 16:53 |
| * tgm4883 bows out | 16:53 | |
| meatmanek | ioria: no, not installed | 16:54 |
| ioria | meatmanek, let's try | 16:55 |
| ioria | meatmanek, but i don't get why you needed to install manpages ... | 16:55 |
| meatmanek | I don't, it's just an example of a package that contains man pages | 16:56 |
| ioria | ha | 16:56 |
| oerheks | maybe docker policy, not sure.. but the story does not fit the pastebin | 16:56 |
| meatmanek | oerheks: dpkg -L says that the manpages package contains several files in /usr/share/man/man1, but after installing the manpages package there are no extra files in /usr/share/man/man1 | 16:57 |

| meatmanek | ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i can work around it by just removing the excludes file | 17:08 |
| tgm4883 | meatmanek: I'm not a docker pro or anything, but wouldn't needing the man pages inside a docker container be "doing it wrong" | 17:13 |
| meatmanek | we're using docker to test a package - we build our package, then spin up a new container and install it and make sure everything we expect to be there is there | 17:14 |
| meatmanek | including man pages | 17:14 |

| NoImNotNineVolt | lotuspsychje: i have apache2 2.4.7 installed from the ubuntu repos on my 14.04 box (production). i want to build apache from source on my dev box running 14.04 and have it be binary-compatible with the one running in prod. | 17:18 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | lotuspsychje: specifically, i want to move mod_autoindex.so from my dev box to the prod box and have apache not segfault. | 17:19 |
| ioria | smaller that mini.iso | 17:19 |
| meatmanek | but I thought the idea was thaht you could then install whatever you wanted on top of that image | 17:19 |
| meatmanek | http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2018/02/rfc-ubuntu-1804-lts-minimal-images.html | 17:20 |
| meatmanek | "The Ubuntu Minimal Image is the smallest base upon which a user can apt install any package in the Ubuntu archive." | 17:20 |

| t2mkn | is something wrong with ubuntu download ? i m getting 2kbps download speed ? | 17:20 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | lotuspsychje: the end goal being to backport a specific feature from apache2 2.4.26 to the apache 2.4.7 i have running in production while still letting apt/dpkg handle updates. | 17:21 |
| kostkon | t2mkn, try the torrent | 17:21 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | (and yes i know subsequent updates would be likely to clobber my .so, but believe i have workarounds for that) | 17:21 |

| lapaga | since screensaver does not work correctly (it seems) in ubuntu-mate-18.04 is there another way to lock the screen after 5 minutes or so? | 17:21 |
| t2mkn | kostkon no, a fresh download of 18.04 | 17:22 |
| kostkon | t2mkn, yeah ok, torrent is better anyway | 17:22 |
| t2mkn | ya seems so | 17:22 |
| lotuspsychje | NoImNotNineVolt: check #ubuntu-devel they might be able to help you better | 17:22 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | thanks for the suggestion | 17:23 |
| dekatch | t2mkn, as said, i am getting my fill connection speed. 5.7 megabyte. its you ! :) | 17:23 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | yea their topic would suggest otherwise | 17:24 |
| t2mkn | dekatch no | 17:24 |
| dekatch | t2mkn, maybe its a region issues. i am in europe | 17:25 |
| lapaga | try a mirror | 17:25 |
| d3l3k_ | lapaga: you can use any other screensaver software, like gnome-screensaver... mate uses mate-screensaver, which i never had any problems for kind of 1+half year | 17:25 |
| t2mkn | dekatch m in asia | 17:25 |
| dekatch | t2mkn, yea maybe you got other mirror preselected. | 17:26 |
| lapaga | d3l3k_, my keyboard stops working when i try and come out of mate screensaver | 17:26 |
| dekatch | try dl from europe or torrent | 17:26 |
| lotuspsychje | lapaga: doesnt mate have energy settings? | 17:26 |
| d3l3k_ | lapaga: but to avoid conflicts you should tweak mate configuration or init scripts (maybe mate-settings-daemon) to use the other screensaver software instead of mate-screensaver | 17:27 |
| lapaga | lotuspsychje, yes but that just makes the screen come alive when coming back it has no lock | 17:27 |
| lapaga | i am on a desktop by the way | 17:28 |
| lotuspsychje | lapaga: poke around in dconf-editor it might have usefull settings there | 17:28 |
| d3l3k_ | lapaga: stupid question but are you using usb keyboard? | 17:28 |
| lapaga | d3l3k_, no | 17:28 |
| lotuspsychje | lapaga: dconf-editor has improved nicely on bionic | 17:29 |
| dekatch | kind of like torrenting. but no matter how hard i try. i hardly get any upload traffic having newest ubuntu releases on seed. but ubuntu got so much better. is there any statistic on how much the ubuntu users base have has grown? | 17:29 |
| lapaga | lotuspsychje, will give it a try | 17:29 |
| d3l3k_ | lapaga: which keyboard bus are you using? | 17:33 |
| t2mkn | now i am getting max 3.3MB/s | 17:33 |

| ask-ygU5AP56 | TheEagerPadawan, in' there an app in apt's sources for it? | 17:35 |
| ask-ygU5AP56 | like, flashplugin-installer or so ? | 17:35 |
| oerheks | TheEagerPadawan, use the restricted extras package, that includes 'old' flash, but flash is dead, use html5 if you can | 17:36 |

| Ezro | I see a bunch of iwlwifi-8000C-13/16/21/22/27/31/34.ucode | 18:23 |
| Ezro | It's actually been crap on every distro I've tried. I was using Elementary, then Manjaro, and now Ubuntu. | 18:23 |
| lotuspsychje | Ezro: define, whats not working properly? | 18:24 |
| Squarism | ducasse, yeah I read that - but it looked sort of at-your-risk/not-supported? | 18:24 |
| Ezro | It's barely stable. It'll often disconnect and reconnect. | 18:24 |
| Ezro | If I move more than 5ft from my WAP, it disconnects. | 18:24 |

| ubottu | bray90820_: Upgrades from 16.04 LTS will not be enabled until a few days after the 18.04.1 release expected in late July. | 18:25 |
| Ezro | lotuspsychje: My network at home is a regular modem + WAP. Right now I'm trying to connect to my phone's hotspot. | 18:25 |
| Ezro | I have to keep my phone directly next to my laptop or it disconnects. | 18:25 |
| Ezro | And even with my phone hotspot next to my laptop, it still underperforms heavily. | 18:26 |
| lotuspsychje | Ezro: you sure its not your connection/isp that lags, instead of wifi/ubuntu? | 18:26 |
| Ezro | 100% positive. | 18:26 |
| Ezro | I have other laptops / devices that can 1) see networks that this laptop can't see 2) connect and stay connected without issue | 18:26 |
| lotuspsychje | Ezro: well if you so sure its your hardware, ubuntu cant make a new one out of it | 18:27 |
| Ezro | I'm wondering if it's the firmware, though. I can see that the firmware I'm -supposed- to be using (according to intel.com) isn't in my /lib/firmware folder. | 18:27 |
| lotuspsychje | Ezro: perhaps you can take a look in a tail -f /var/log/syslog and see whats going on exactly? | 18:27 |
| Ezro | So I'm wondering if it's defaulting to the wrong card. | 18:27 |

| NoImNotNineVolt | i see. makes sense. | 19:23 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | but, i'm not sure what the distinction is between those two repos in this context. | 19:24 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | does apache2 in trusty not get backported security fixes? | 19:24 |
| tomreyn | it does | 19:24 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | so then.. what's the difference? :P | 19:24 |
| krytarik | !backports | 19:24 |
| ubottu | If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging | 19:24 |
| tomreyn | but not features, so you have the option to use the backports instead, which ius a newer version and benefits of newer features | 19:24 |
| oerheks | .. backports would be standard enabled | 19:25 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | but what's in backports is still ancient :P | 19:25 |
| ioria | NoImNotNineVolt, you need to read the changelog, i guess | 19:25 |
| oerheks | ancient, in features, not bugfixes | 19:25 |
| oerheks | :_D | 19:25 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | i mean, there's a "feature" in 2.4.26 that's actually a bugfix for an issue introduced in 2.4.0 | 19:25 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | i'm trying to pull it into my 14.04 box. | 19:25 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | but i'm considering doing the paperwork to get it backported (the patch is super tiny) | 19:26 |
| oerheks | i would not do that, 16.04 uses systemd.. that means recompile | 19:26 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | (this is all 14.04, no systemd) | 19:26 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | (though i could also do the paperwork to get it backported to 16.04 -- the fix doesn't make it into lts until 18.04) | 19:27 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | point being, what should i be generating my patches against? trusty? or trusty-backports? | 19:27 |
| Some_Person | Is there any application for ubuntu that can read texts from a cell phone over Bluetooth MAP? | 19:28 |
| tomreyn | trusty has less than one year of support left, it's not too likely that much efforts will be spent on backporting changes to it which upstream does not consider bugs. | 19:29 |
| tomreyn | maybe try with 16.04, but it'd probably help to convince upstream to consider it a bug if they currently dont | 19:29 |

| BerenErchamion | Are there ubuntu forums that can give you the most up-to-date information about proprietary problems relating to the ubuntu version of the chromium browser? | 19:42 |
| Lantizia | hey if I install Ubuntu 18.04 on my macbook pro (with macOS on - like it comes as normal)... in terms of booting... will it just work like it might with a PC with windows? e.g. grub will install as normal and you'll get that bootloader than can just chainload macos? | 19:44 |
| Lantizia | and p.s. I *want* that to happen - i don't mind grub being the first thing the mac does on power on ... with linux being default - and someone having to pick macos from it | 19:44 |
| Lantizia | i know on a windows pc it's often easier to put windows on first... the ubuntu on second ... and bingo it just works and picks it up - is it that easy on a mac? | 19:45 |

| ubottu | For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a Mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages | 19:47 |
| oerheks | yes, it is as easy | 19:47 |
| pragmaticenigma | BerenErchamion: There is no "Ubuntu version" of the chromium browser. There is a Chromium Browswer that is packaged and distributed throug the package manager. It is still the same Chromium that can be downloaded from the developers site. | 19:48 |
| Lantizia | oerheks, so grub will just get straight in there and sort it out essentially? | 19:48 |
| BerenErchamion | Then why do the people in ##linux say there are Debian and ubuntu versions of the Chromium Browser, if there's only one version of that software? | 19:50 |
| pragmaticenigma | BerenErchamion: With the question that you asked, they probably aren't sure what you are after either | 19:50 |
| Lantizia | BerenErchamion, the Chromium team don't package Chromium (unlike Google who does package Chrome)... so there is a Debian packaged one and a Ubuntu packaged one | 19:51 |
| Lantizia | But since Ubuntu forks Debian, it is very likely what compile options were used on the Debian one - have been used on the Ubuntu one | 19:51 |
| pragmaticenigma | Lantizia: The "packages" are only builds, they built from the same source code offered on Chromium's developer site | 19:51 |
| Lantizia | pragmaticenigma, yeah obviously :) | 19:51 |

| BerenErchamion | My concern is that there may be proprietary software downloaded and installed along with the Chromium package without my consent, and the ##linux people say that's not a problem with the Debian package, but may be a problem with the ubuntu package version of the Chromium browser | 19:52 |
| oerheks | BerenErchamion, build for debian is different indeed, a few changes like package versions and patches .. https://packages.ubuntu.com/source/bionic/chromium-browser <> https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/chromium | 19:52 |
| genii | Extensions on Debian Chromium are disabled by default, for the same reason that they have Iceweasel instead of firefox | 19:52 |
| Lantizia | oerheks, should I be concerned that this list doesn't contain "14,1" which is apparently my model number? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages | 19:53 |
| en1gma | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/zdBCcVdpvS/ this is my lspci | 19:53 |
| oerheks | "there may be proprietary software downloaded " is a hoax | 19:53 |

| kostkon | enyc, https://bugs.launchpad.net/pkg-website/+filebug | 20:44 |

| mniip | in the ubuntu liveusb, is it possible to overwrite the drive from which the liveusb was booted? | 20:51 |
| brainwash | leftyfb: wouldn't that require the bug reporter to actually test with debian? | 20:52 |
| mniip | i.e is the system copied into RAM first or is it read from the drive as needed | 20:52 |
| leftyfb | brainwash: no. Debian is our upstream. | 20:52 |

| dan01 | Hi, I want to buy a new laptop, and I'd really like to be as compatible as possible with Linux. When it comes to graphics cards. How is the status of hybrid graphics in Ubuntu? Or should I avoid having a dedicated GPU at all? | 20:54 |
| mniip | one* | 20:54 |
| niranjan | @nacc, stackoverflow search - sudo sed -Ei 's/^# deb-src/deb-src/' /etc/apt/sources.list. Something like this? | 20:55 |
| nacc | niranjan: presuming that's how your sources.list is structured | 20:55 |
| mniip | I vaguely remember the debian liveusb using overlayfs of a tempfs with a squashfs? | 20:55 |
| nacc | mniip: so you don't want to install to your HDD? | 20:56 |
| mniip | and I think squashfs doesn't need the disk after the initial boot process? | 20:56 |
| mniip | nacc, I'm not using the installer | 20:56 |
| mniip | rather the liveusb | 20:56 |
| nacc | mniip: so you just want to use your liveusb once? | 20:56 |
| mniip | yes | 20:56 |

| IntelCore | Hi.. I see Wayland, and tried it on 16.04 Gnome desktop, but it did not load. | 20:59 |
| IntelCore | Does it need Xfce ? | 21:01 |
| nacc | IntelCore: Wayland does not need Xfce that's the wrong way around anyways | 21:01 |
| nacc | IntelCore: did you mean Xorg? | 21:01 |
| IntelCore | Not sure? Don't know about Wayland | 21:02 |
| kostkon | IntelCore, you sure it was on 16.04? | 21:02 |
| nacc | IntelCore: why are you trying to use Wayland? | 21:02 |
| Squarism | is it adviseable to install gnome-shell-extensions on 17.10 using wayland? | 21:04 |
| kostkon | IntelCore, 16.04 is not the best release for testing wayland. 17.10 or 18.04 have a much better support for wayland | 21:04 |
| nacc | well, tbh, i wouldn't bother using wayland | 21:04 |
| nacc | it's still a tech preview | 21:04 |
| nacc | (in 18.04) | 21:04 |
| kostkon | nacc, that's true as well | 21:04 |
| theseb | gparted and fdisk -l say /dev/sda1 is 80Gb but when I do "df -h" is says the old 15Gb size from before I resized it in gparted..why? | 21:04 |
| theseb | (using LVM) | 21:05 |
| brainwash | "tech preview" | 21:05 |
| nacc | Squarism: not sure your underlying windowing server should matter for that package | 21:05 |
| IntelCore | I just did not know what Wayland was. I have -Metacity and Gnome and a Compiz desktop to choose from | 21:05 |
| Ezro | leftyfb brainwash I'm noticing that I have iwlwifi drivers in /lib/firmware, but I don't have a firmware-iwlwifi package. | 21:05 |
| === tomreyn_ is now known as tomreyn | ||
| nacc | IntelCore: Wayland is a new windowing server, replacing Xorg (eventually) | 21:06 |
| kostkon | IntelCore, it's much more than just a different DE or compositor as you might have found out already | 21:06 |
| Ezro | My apt-get doesn't recognize firmware-iwlwifi as a package. | 21:06 |
| brainwash | Ezro: you have linux-firmware | 21:06 |
| IntelCore | Where I log-on, I click the icon, and can choose. And Wayland is there now. | 21:06 |
| nacc | IntelCore: it's a session type | 21:06 |
| nacc | IntelCore: you can use either Xorg or Wayland in some releases | 21:06 |
| IntelCore | mmhmm.. yes nacc | 21:06 |
| nacc | IntelCore: Wayland is not yet feature complete with Xorg | 21:06 |
| Ezro | brainwash: What does that mean? | 21:07 |
| IntelCore | oic, nacc. Wont work in 16.04 | 21:07 |
| brainwash | Ezro: these firmware files are installed by linux-firmware | 21:07 |
| nickjj | this is going to sound weird but can someone on ubuntu please goto https://code.visualstudio.com/insiders/ and paste a link to download the insiders version of vscode? | 21:08 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | okay, i have a fresh install of ubuntu 14.04 and i can't get apache2's configure script to run. | 21:08 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | configure: error: No XML parser found! Please specify --with-expat or --with-libxml2 | 21:08 |
| nacc | IntelCore: i didn't say that, exactly | 21:08 |
| brainwash | Ezro: also, a brand new file is available "iwlwifi: update firmwares for 7000, 8000 and 9000 series" | 21:08 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | i have satisfactory versions of expat and libxml installed. | 21:08 |
| IntelCore | roh, I gotta use Synaptic to remove it | 21:08 |
| nickjj | it's weird because vscode's home page is broken on windows, the link to download the linux version is just a broken link | 21:08 |
| brainwash | Ezro: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/iwlwifi/linux-firmware.git/tree/ | 21:08 |
| nacc | NoImNotNineVolt: why are you building apache2 fro source? | 21:08 |
| kostkon | NoImNotNineVolt, why 14.04 and not 18.04? | 21:08 |
| brainwash | Ezro: iwlwifi-8000C-36.ucode | 21:08 |
| nacc | NoImNotNineVolt: you need the development files, anyways | 21:08 |
| brainwash | Ezro: download and copy it to /lib/firmware | 21:09 |
| Ezro | brainwash: Do I just copy that *-36.ucode into my /lib/firmware then restart? | 21:09 |
| brainwash | Ezro: right | 21:09 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | nacc: to backport a fix from 2.4.25 | 21:09 |
| IntelCore | nacc, I read where wayland was in 16.04, but I never saw what it was, and wanted to see it. | 21:09 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | nacc: i have libxml2-dev installed... is there a dev for expat? | 21:10 |
| nacc | NoImNotNineVolt: i'm sure there is | 21:10 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | libexpat1-dev | 21:10 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | indeed. | 21:10 |
| brainwash | Ezro: however, it's a binary file, and I don't think that intel tells us what was changed | 21:10 |
| brainwash | Ezro: unless bugs were fixed | 21:10 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | kostkon: because the fix is already included in 18.04 | 21:10 |
| Ezro | brainwash: How can I confirm that my Ubuntu is actually using *-36.ucode instead of another FW? | 21:11 |
| nacc | NoImNotNineVolt: did you file a bug with Ubuntu? | 21:11 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | nacc: i'm hoping to contribute backport patches myself | 21:11 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | upsteam debian won't lift a finger. | 21:11 |
| bray90820_ | Is there a way I could add a folder or a mounted drive to the gnome side pannel in 18.04 | 21:11 |
| nacc | NoImNotNineVolt: ok, then you should be building a source package | 21:11 |
| nacc | NoImNotNineVolt: what does debian have to do with anything? | 21:11 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | nacc: that's the upstream. | 21:12 |
| IntelCore | -- Another thing. I want to put the18.04 iso on a usb that has 64GB space. Do I use the current OS to format the USB? How's that work? | 21:12 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | or at least that's my understanding. | 21:12 |
| nacc | NoImNotNineVolt: I know what Debian is (I'm an Ubuntu developer) | 21:13 |
| nacc | NoImNotNineVolt: Debian doesn't have anything to do with lready released with versions of Ubuntu | 21:13 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | so when debian backports patches, those don't get pulled in to ubuntu? | 21:13 |
| nacc | NoImNotNineVolt: no. | 21:13 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | o_O | 21:13 |
| nacc | NoImNotNineVolt: at least, not necessarily | 21:13 |
| IntelCore | Caniocal | 21:14 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | i mean, i was just talking to infinity about this earlier, and his initial reaction was to talk to debian also. | 21:14 |
| brainwash | Ezro: mmh. a simple "dmesg | grep iwlwifi" will tell you probably | 21:14 |
| nacc | NoImNotNineVolt: filing a bug with Debian is appropriate | 21:14 |
| nacc | NoImNotNineVolt: but fixing something in Debian won't make it magically appear in Ubuntu | 21:14 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | nacc: indeed, with wishlist priority, which means it wouldn't get backported anyway. | 21:14 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | it's not a security fix. | 21:14 |
| nacc | NoImNotNineVolt: you just said it was fixed in 18.04? | 21:14 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | it's fixed in apache2 2.4.26 and later, which doesn't show up in an lts ubuntu until 18.04, right. | 21:15 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | but 18.04 isn't an option for me yet, so i'm trying to backport it to 14.04 (and possibly 16.04). | 21:15 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | it's a small patch. | 21:15 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | in any case, this is more a learning experience for me than anything else. i really thought backports in upstream would get pulled in. | 21:16 |
| IntelCore | With Wayland, this landscape has changed drastically. Now instead there is no X server between clients and GNOME Shell | 21:16 |
| nacc | IntelCore: who are you talking to? | 21:17 |
| IntelCore | ME? I am weirding | 21:17 |
| nacc | IntelCore: please take your 'weirding' elsewhere then | 21:17 |
| IntelCore | aww | 21:17 |
| nacc | NoImNotNineVolt: I see (just read backlog in #ubuntu-devel) | 21:17 |
| kostkon | IntelCore, http://etcher.io/ | 21:18 |
| nacc | NoImNotNineVolt: infinity said to check that Debian fixes it too, but that is unrelated to your SRU attempts | 21:18 |
| lapion | does anyone have any idea when lts upgrade kicks in in the updater ? | 21:18 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | indeed, i talked to some debian folks, and it doesn't really meet their criteria for backporting. which is fine. | 21:19 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | it's already fixed in vanilla apache, it's just a matter of when that fix gets into repos :P | 21:19 |
| IntelCore | etcher . kool kostkon | 21:19 |
| kostkon | IntelCore, kewl | 21:20 |
| tomreyn | lapion: *roughly* when 18.04.1 releases, maybe aroun djuly | 21:20 |
| lapion | cool.... | 21:20 |
| zenox | i just installed 18.04 server. why do i see notices about Cloud-init? what is it for and how do i disable it? | 21:20 |
| nacc | zenox: http://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html | 21:22 |
| nacc | zenox: it doesn't really do much if you're not using it, no need to disable it | 21:22 |
| zenox | mhh. i saw a load of ssh keys generated and the details whizz by on screen | 21:24 |

| pixelfog | Bashing-om: Yes, I did. Stick is good. I verified it with the checksum. And the stick works fine in a T510. Still it's hard to believe it could be hardware when the boot gets that far.

| derpingit | hi guys. i am trying to have me and another user be able to access and modify permissions on /var/www/mysite/ . we're both members of the sudo group, but for some reason i cannot upload files into the folder. the way i have to get around is to make him owner of that fodler while he works on it. could you please help? thank you | 22:20 |
| cluelessperson | derpingit: sudo is for running random commands as a root user, not for giving various users permissions to a directory | 22:21 |
| derpingit | that is still a group tho | 22:22 |
| cluelessperson | derpingit: What you'll want to do is create a group, "mysite", add your users to the mysite group | 22:22 |
| derpingit | got it .. | 22:22 |
| === p is now known as Guest83613 | ||
| cluelessperson | derpingit: then, set the directory to be owned by root:group | 22:22 |
| cluelessperson | derpingit: chown -R /var/www/mysite | 22:23 |

| cluelessperson | derpingit: chmod -R 775 /var/www/mysite | 22:24 |
| cluelessperson | ACLs for directories are a bit harder | 22:24 |
| derpingit | do i really want 775 all around? | 22:25 |
| oerheks | or make yourself member of www-data | 22:25 |
| cluelessperson | derpingit: not generally, it's 775 makes the entire directory readable by any user, not writable | 22:25 |
| derpingit | ok. created used.. changed owner.. | 22:26 |
| derpingit | how about this: sudo find /var/www/computerninjas.net/html/ -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; | 22:26 |
| derpingit | and sudo find /var/www/computerninjas.net/html/ -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \; | 22:26 |
| cluelessperson | derpingit: also add, www-data to the mysite group | 22:27 |
| cluelessperson | or don't | 22:27 |
| derpingit | can you please explain ? | 22:27 |
| cluelessperson | derpingit: 775 means owner:group can see and write to the directories, and everyone else can 5 READ the directories. | 22:27 |
