| Skaface82 | case`: you can run "software & updates" and to to "additional drivers" to switch between them | 00:00 |

| case` | Skaface:yes that was what i was thinking, You should be ok RoadRunner, i don't think it will be a problem if you remove the driver | 00:01 |
| aloo_shu | *but* it's not an ubuntu solution, so it's still good to bring attention to the fact that something in the ubuntu audio stack that s supposed to work OOTB, can break. I'd want to know which pkg the script that fires up the jack-pulse bridge by default, is a part of, and if there was an update that messed up something there | 00:02 |
| case` | Skaface: RoadRunner is weary of removing driver, doesn't want a dead screen | 00:03 |
| xamithan | If you get a black screen after removing the nvidia driver just use the nomodeset to boot | 00:04 |
| RoadRunner | case`: I can see how to switch btw nvidia drivers but not how to remove all of them and I seem to recall xamithan saying that the driver in option 2 is actually more likely to create a black screen in a card switch... | 00:04 |
| xamithan | Some cards don't like the open source novedau driver | 00:04 |
| Skaface82 | he should be ok, doesnt it have multiple drivers installed all the time anyway and detects your card on bootup? | 00:04 |
| xamithan | *nouveau i mean | 00:05 |
| RoadRunner | Skaface82: again, here is my current driver instal situation: https://imgur.com/a/EClJjtn | 00:06 |
| case` | Skaface I agree.. | 00:07 |
| Skaface82 | RoadRunner: just switch back to the default nouveau driver first to make sure | 00:08 |
| Skaface82 | then it should be ok | 00:08 |
| case` | RoadRunner: I think it would be safe to revert to nouveau | 00:08 |
| RoadRunner | my main issue is: the comp in question doesn't currently have internet connectivity and if I lose the current driver and xubuntu isn't going to automaticaly load a new one (amd), I don't want to be left with a black screen | 00:09 |

| === INSTAKILLAH is now known as erasmus | ||
| Skaface82 | RoadRunner: the main problem your likely to have is issues with 3d acceleration and whatnot, but you have a pretty decent chance of it just working | 00:09 |
| infowolfe | systemd-networkd (thanks netplan!) keeps adding a secondary and broken route to my system and systemd-resolved is trying to resolve over that same link (when it's a NAT gateway with active dhcp served by another source) | 00:09 |
| Skaface82 | even if theres no hardware acceleration | 00:10 |
| infowolfe | RoadRunner, you could also sneakernet the packages you need across on a USB | 00:10 |
| xamithan | As far as I am aware the AMDGPU driver is included by default in 16.04 or above | 00:10 |
| case` | RoadRunner:Have you a media device you could download the driver onto usb/disc ? | 00:10 |
| xamithan | I may be wrong as I do not have any radeon cards | 00:11 |
| case` | I feel you would be safe enough | 00:11 |
| Skaface82 | yeah just do it | 00:11 |
| RoadRunner | infowolfe: case`: the basic question is: Is the amd driver already present on my HD in a kernel extra package? | 00:12 |
| infowolfe | RoadRunner, probably not | 00:12 |
| infowolfe | i mean it might be, but i don't use amd, certainly if it's in multiverse or in a ppa it's not | 00:12 |
| RoadRunner | if not, how would I get it (with dependencies) onto a usb? | 00:13 |
| RoadRunner | will, prob, never know for sure what dependencies it needs | 00:13 |
| xamithan | "If you're running Ubuntu 16.04 or above, you already have the open source AMD drivers installed. They're integrated into mesa and the linux kernel" | 00:13 |
| xamithan | If you are still worried just download the package from AMD website | 00:13 |
| case` | Have to agree with xamithan~: Should be safe, but if apprehensive d'load driver package | 00:15 |
| l00001000 | Helo Working On Assigning Virtual Workspace 2 To Virtual Display 1 Anybody Have Anything | 00:16 |
| RoadRunner | xamithan: if you are sure that the amd driver is already on board and will kick in on next reboot, then do I even need to remove my current nvidia one? | 00:16 |
| xamithan | Theoretically it should detect and load the right one. I've never switched from nvidia to radeon though ;P | 00:17 |
| bdazz | I was reading that I should not edit my apache.conf file directly, and instread should create a new directory in my apache2 directory called conf.d and then I am free to place my customized config files in there. Is that correct? | 00:18 |
| xamithan | Why not try to uinstall it now while you got an internet connection and use the open source nvidia driver | 00:18 |
| xamithan | bdazz: That is best practices, yes. It should already have some type of .d directory there though | 00:19 |
| xamithan | Sorry not a .d, it is called sites-enabled in ubuntu | 00:20 |
| bdazz | xamithan: thank you. During review my apache2 directory was missing any directory with the .d at the end. I am going to create a problem in my custom config file and resart the service to make sure its reading. Thank you! | 00:21 |
| genii | xamithan: Installing both Radeon and Nvidia drives concurrently is problemmatic, they both want to use an OpenGL shared library of their own compiling | 00:21 |
| genii | ( whichever one gets installed last is the shared lib that gets installed, and then the other one won't work ) | 00:22 |

| energizer | oops wrong channel, (tho if anybody can help please do) | 00:33 |
| bdazz | xamithan: I did some more digging. In the latest version of apache (2.4) they have changed guidance: "conf-available: this directory contains available configuration files. All files that were previously in /etc/apache2/conf.d should be moved to /etc/apache2/conf-available." | 00:33 |
| xamithan | Yeah, I looked and all my vhosts are in sites-enabled or sites-available | 00:34 |

| RoadRunner | network gurus, anyone? | 00:36 |
| xamithan | ##networking | 00:36 |
| RoadRunner | but it likely is ubuntu specific... | 00:36 |
| xamithan | What does /etc/resolv.conf say ? | 00:37 |
| RoadRunner | sec | 00:37 |
| xamithan | If resolvconf is running DNS should be working | 00:38 |
| RoadRunner | xamithan: resolv.conf says: nameserver 127.0.0.53 search telus | 00:40 |
| xamithan | Is it a link to /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf ? | 00:40 |
| RoadRunner | xamithan: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/WrmPqZR5fP/ | 00:42 |
| xamithan | Looks right, are your actual nameservers there if you do systemd-resolve --status ? | 00:43 |
| RoadRunner | xamithan: I must be typing is something wrong... its not recognizing the command | 00:47 |
| RoadRunner | *in | 00:48 |
| RoadRunner | space btw resolve and --status right? | 00:48 |
| SlidingHorn | RoadRunner: yes | 00:49 |
| xamithan | What version you running? I assume this is 17.10 or 18.04 | 00:49 |
| xamithan | Maybe your systemd-resolved service isn't running | 00:50 |
| xamithan | "systemctl status systemd-resolved" it says active (running) ? | 00:50 |
| RoadRunner | 16.04 | 00:50 |
| xamithan | Oh nevermind then | 00:51 |
| RoadRunner | am getting "systemd-resolve - unrecognized option "--status" | 00:52 |
| xamithan | 16.04 still uses resolvconf service. "dpkg-reconfigure resolvconf" might fix it | 00:52 |
| xamithan | Beyond that, someone else might know | 00:52 |
| RoadRunner | can'[t use packages - no connection :( | 00:53 |
| xamithan | That command shouldn't need it | 00:53 |
| kostkon | RoadRunner, it won't redownload | 00:53 |
| RoadRunner | kostkon: ? | 00:53 |
| unixvers-master | salut | 00:55 |
| RoadRunner | my point is, the comp by now was tried in two networks with 2 diff routers; it used to work in both environments and now works in neither; no router settings were changed in either and from what I understand kernel updates (what created the problem) aren't suppose to affect /etc/resolv.conf (which also seems to look ok). So any other ideas? | 01:00 |
| xamithan | Only other idea I got is to make sure networkmanager isn't using dnsmasq if that dpkg-reconfigure didn't work | 01:01 |
| xamithan | I doubt that would happen though unless you upgraded from 14.04 | 01:02 |
| RoadRunner | xamithan: no that was a new 16.04 install | 01:04 |
| xamithan | Well try ##networking. They are actually talking about resolvconf and systemd-resolve right now | 01:05 |
| RoadRunner | xamithan: ok, thanks | 01:05 |

| pipegeek | hi, folks :) | 01:15 |
| david__ | hello | 01:15 |
| pipegeek | a question: I'm running ubuntu artful, and finding that it's surprisingly non-obvious (to me) how to go about adding dvorak as one of the input sources. | 01:16 |
| pipegeek | If I go into Settings => Region & Language and add an input source, I'm initially given four common English layouts (none of which is dvorak) | 01:17 |
| pipegeek | when I click "..." to show more options, I get a list of countries' English layouts (still no dvorak) | 01:17 |
| pipegeek | and when I finally click on "other", I get other language's layouts. Dvorak *does* appear in this list, but only for languages other than english. | 01:18 |
| pipegeek | any idea how to set English (Dvorak)? haha | 01:18 |
| bazhang | https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/keyboard-layouts.html pipegeek | 01:19 |
| bazhang | https://websiteforstudents.com/change-ubuntu-17-10-keyboard-layout-to-your-native-language/ pipegeek | 01:22 |
| bazhang | check those two links pipegeek | 01:22 |
| pipegeek | the first one unfortunately doesn't seem to have helped. Running that gsettings command resulted in a warning that it was using the "memory" backend, and nothing seems to have changed | 01:23 |
| pipegeek | and the second one shows English (Dvorak) appearing in the list of options, which it doesn't. | 01:23 |
| pipegeek | bazhang | 01:23 |
| pipegeek | the warning incidentally was as follows: | 01:24 |
| pipegeek | GLib-GIO-Message: Using the 'memory' GSettings backend. Your settings will not be saved or shared with other applications. | 01:24 |
| pipegeek | I appreciate the help :) | 01:24 |
| Austin____ | hello, how can i set my persistent ubuntu usb to skip this screen? and go straight to "try ubuntu"? https://bit.ly/2rA5qqj | 01:25 |
| pipegeek | bazhang, I just set that dconf setting using dconf-editor, and that *did* seem to have an effect --- but the effect was to add more options to the "other languages" set | 01:26 |
| pipegeek | it seems that there's three sets of input sources you can choose from --- the initial four common options, then a set of english sources that is always the same, then *all* sources with english specifically excluded | 01:27 |
| pipegeek | and English (Dvorak) is in none of those sets. | 01:27 |
| stan7 | im on ubuntu how can i change to gnome without installling ubuntu gnome? | 01:28 |
| stan7 | i mean im with unity but i would like to have gnome instead unity | 01:28 |
| pipegeek | I can send screenshots if it's helpful. | 01:28 |
| bazhang | stan7, which version and shell of gnome3 | 01:29 |
| bazhang | stan7, then you'd want to install gnome-shell | 01:29 |

| Austin____ | How can i set my persistent ubuntu usb to skip this screen? and go straight to "try ubuntu"? https://bit.ly/2rA5qqj | 01:30 |

| stan7 | thanks a lot | 01:31 |
| bazhang | np | 01:31 |
| pipegeek | oooooooh. | 01:32 |
| pipegeek | it's another level in. Clicking "English (US)" results in another list of actual layouts | 01:32 |
| pipegeek | I'm dumb | 01:32 |
| pipegeek | thanks anyway | 01:32 |
| bazhang | welcome | 01:32 |
| aloo_shu | Austin____: I cannot answer you, but I can try suggest: if your ubuntu on th usb is still in .iso format, it may be rather complicated, but otherwise, you need to find out what the stick uses for booting, and read up on it, e.g. 'man -k syslinux' or 'man -k isolinux' in a terminal. that should point you to what the file is that determines boot menu and behaviour | 01:33 |

| isaac__ | hey, I was wondering if anyone else has run into a weird issue. I have a fresh install of 18.04 and installing samba is not working. Specifically it doesn't seem to be installing 'testparm' even after some purge/reboot/install cycles. | 05:45 |
| ikonia | show the actual error | 05:45 |
| ikonia | "not working" doesn't give any info | 05:45 |
| isaac__ | The issue is testparm is not getting installed | 05:45 |
| ikonia | show the error/problem | 05:46 |
| isaac__ | that is the error | 05:46 |
| ikonia | that's not an error | 05:46 |
| isaac__ | This is the error message when I try to enable sharing on something "Failed to execute child process “testparm” (No such file or directory)" | 05:46 |
| ikonia | "enable sharing" | 05:46 |
| ikonia | eg: using the desktop gui, or just trying to start the smb service ? | 05:46 |
| isaac__ | desktop gui | 05:47 |
| ikonia | ok - so there is the problem | 05:47 |
| ikonia | "when I try to share a file system with the desktop gui, I get this error message "Failed to execute child process “testparm” (No such file or directory)"@ | 05:47 |
| ikonia | just say that, rather than having to have the information pulled out of you | 05:48 |
| isaac__ | Sorry, I should've started with that | 05:48 |
| ikonia | so the first question is, "is testparm" actual on the system | 05:48 |
| isaac__ | No, it doesn't seem to get installed with samba | 05:49 |
| isaac__ | I'm assuming that 'testparm' should work on the command line, correct? | 05:49 |
| ikonia | how did you check it's not on the system ? | 05:49 |
| ikonia | if it's in the PATH yes, but that doesn't mean it's not installed | 05:49 |
| isaac__ | I did a find on the root directory and came up with nothing. Is there a specific place I should be looking? | 05:50 |
| ikonia | just to clarify, root as in / or root as in /root | 05:50 |
| isaac__ | root as in / | 05:50 |
| ikonia | ok, | 05:50 |
| ikonia | so what is the path testparam should be in ? | 05:51 |
| ikonia | where is samba expecting it ? | 05:51 |
| isaac__ | I don't know, how would I find that out? | 05:51 |
| ikonia | it's normally in the config or the init file | 05:51 |
| ikonia | (or service unit now) | 05:51 |
| isaac__ | Where would I find that? | 05:52 |
| ikonia | doesn't matter, | 05:52 |
| ikonia | what samba package have you installed ? | 05:52 |
| isaac__ | samba and samba-common-bin which seems to be covered by samba because it doesn't add anything | 05:53 |
| isaac__ | Version 4.7.6-Ubuntu | 05:54 |
| ikonia | so lets see if dpkg can deal with wildcards (I can't remember) | 05:54 |
| ikonia | if you run "dpkg -s *testparm*" | 05:54 |
| ikonia | what does that do ? | 05:54 |
| ikonia | (I hope it can deal with a wildcard) | 05:54 |
| isaac__ | Wildcards don't work, dang | 05:55 |
| ikonia | what does it say | 05:55 |
| isaac__ | "dpkg-query: error: --status needs a valid package name but '*testparm*' is not: illegal package name in specifier '*testparm*': must start with an alphanumeric character" | 05:55 |
| ikonia | ok | 05:55 |
| ikonia | so lets try "apt-file search *testparam*" | 05:55 |
| ikonia | lets see if that supports wildcards | 05:56 |
| ikonia | (As we don't know the specific location where the file should be) | 05:56 |
| isaac__ | Sorry, apt-file had to update and it's taking a second | 05:57 |
| ikonia | actually apt-file supports named searches, so "apt-file find testparam" | 05:57 |
| ikonia | that's cool | 05:57 |
| ikonia | I didn't know it could do that | 05:57 |
| ikonia | actually apt-file supports named searches, so "apt-file find testparm" | 05:57 |
| ikonia | (typo) | 05:57 |
| isaac__ | So the relevant result was "samba-common-bin: /usr/bin/testparm" | 05:58 |
| ikonia | superb, so samba-common-bin should provide it | 05:59 |
| ikonia | so if you do ls -la /usr/bin/testparm confirm it's not there | 05:59 |
| isaac__ | Yep | 05:59 |
| ikonia | yes, it's not there ? | 05:59 |
| ikonia | or yes it is there | 05:59 |
| isaac__ | Yes, it's not there | 05:59 |
| ikonia | ok - so "dpkg -l | grep samba-common-bin" | 06:00 |
| ikonia | should only be a one line output, can you paste it please | 06:00 |
| isaac__ | ii samba-common-bin 2:4.7.6+dfsg~ubuntu-0ubuntu2 amd64 Samba common files used by both the server and the client | 06:00 |
| ikonia | perfect, | 06:01 |
| ikonia | so you now have two choices | 06:01 |
| isaac__ | Alright | 06:01 |
| ikonia | a.) download the samba-common-bin package, and uncompress it and verify testparm is not in the package, and raise a bug against that package for either a missing file, or if it IS in the package, raise a bug that the install script misses it out | 06:01 |
| ikonia | b.) just raise a bug against the samba-common-bin package anyway, with this detail in and let the maintainer sort it out | 06:02 |
| isaac__ | Okay, thank you for your help | 06:02 |
| ikonia | no problem | 06:02 |

He says the error is saying something about unavalibale repositories (he tried multiple mirrors). I thought the repos are freezed after EOL and update should be possible. Ain't it so? | 09:16 |
| blip99 | hi all, I upgraded from 17.10 to 18.04 - that also upgraded my strongswan ipsec vpn client packages. I want to downgrade those packages.

| brainwash | blip99: I would try via terminal then. sudo apt install strongswan-charon=5.5.1-4ubuntu2.2 | 09:30 |
| blackflow | qwefytuiityty: heavy swap usage means you need more RAM. no other way to fix it, for that same use case. Add more RAM. Or find a way to use less memory. | 09:30 |
| brainwash | blip99: that's the version from artful-updates | 09:30 |
| Bugzie | blip99: What version of ubuntu do you have? | 09:31 |
| brainwash | blackflow: assuming that you've already installed libstrongswan=5.5.1-4ubuntu2.2 | 09:31 |
| brainwash | ehm | 09:31 |
| brainwash | blip99: ^ | 09:31 |
| Bugzie | blip99: ldd the binary, not the complete picture but we can at first see if there is missing library right away | 09:32 |
| qwefytuiityty | longword. I know that. But Windows can use a swap file so that it doesn't freeze. | 09:33 |
| longword | It rather depends on how much swapping you're doing. | 09:33 |
| longword | As a rule, "more than none" is too much. | 09:34 |
| Bugzie | NO | 09:34 |
| Bugzie | You misunderstand | 09:34 |
| blackflow | longword: actually I disagree. There's always bloat in programs that load up more than they use, so swapping out _some_ pages, that really are not used, is a good thing. | 09:34 |
| Bugzie | Linux and and Windows does it differently | 09:34 |
| Bugzie | They are not the same | 09:34 |
| sgflt | i'm having issues installing libc6:armhf on a trusty system (that has armhf as a foreign arch). is that supposed to work? | 09:34 |
| blackflow | the problem is when you start swapping in and out pages that are in ACTIVE use, because there's insufficient RAM. | 09:35 |
| longword | That is true, but I find my rule more convenient | 09:35 |
| longword | And there's a difference between "swapping" (i.e. paging in and out to disk) and "having some swap space in use" | 09:36 |
| blip99 | brainwash, Bugzie: I have 17.10, upgraded to 18.04 - trying to revert to strongswan packages from 17.10. ie 5.5.x instead of 5.6 | 09:36 |
| blackflow | longword: then make sure you present it as your own, personal convenience preference :) stating "as a rule" implies a fact. | 09:36 |
| blip99 | brainwash, Bugzie: attempting to install via terminal gives: strongswan-charon : Depends: libstrongswan (= 5.5.1-4ubuntu2) but 5.6.2-1ubuntu2 is to be installed. | 09:36 |
| Bugzie | There is no swap space in use, there is priotiy | 09:37 |
| longword | All rules are my own. Your mileage may vary. Terms & Conditions apply. | 09:37 |
| brainwash | blip99: why didn't you install the correct libstrongswan beforehand? | 09:37 |
| Bugzie | Windows in memory, change prioprity on the fly | 09:37 |
| blackflow | besides, like Bugzie implied, windows pagefile != linux swap file. they're different beasts that superficially look like they're doing the same thing. | 09:37 |
| Bugzie | Why Linux, will push data that's not use into swap | 09:38 |
| blackflow | longword: true, but users seeking help here might not know that ;) | 09:38 |
| blackflow | (if not explicitly stated) | 09:38 |
| Bugzie | Windows memory manager is a bit complicated | 09:39 |
| blackflow | The bottom line remains, however. Heavy swapping, thatis activity of paging in and out, means there's insufficient RAM for the use case. Either add more RAM, or reduce RAM requirements. | 09:39 |
| Bugzie | Linux memory manager is simple | 09:39 |
| blip99 | brainwash, ah got you. ok im following the dependency chain now and installing from bottom up. will report back | 09:39 |
| qwefytuiityty | Humor or not humor: there are no problems, of give me money and me not need use swap and I will buy 128 GB memories. I have 4 gb. | 09:39 |
| qwefytuiityty | ok not 128, norm 16 | 09:41 |
| Bugzie | blackflow: Do you know OS memory manager work? | 09:41 |
| blackflow | yes | 09:41 |
| Bugzie | What's the difference between Linux and Windows and FreeBSD | 09:42 |
| blackflow | they're different operating systems. | 09:43 |
| Bugzie | memory managers | 09:43 |
| Bugzie | What are the differences | 09:43 |
| blackflow | no idea. | 09:43 |
| Bugzie | Sweet | 09:43 |
| Bugzie | I don't know about freebsb, but I think I understand Linux memory manager and Windows | 09:44 |
| Bugzie | Windows has has layer what data it will pusch to disk | 09:44 |
| Bugzie | While Linux has, whatever data is not being use, push to disk | 09:45 |
| blackflow | Bugzie: I haven't seen the windows code, of course, but between fbsd and linux I am guessing the differences are in heuristics of choosing which pages to swap out. | 09:45 |
| brainwash | !ot | 09:45 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please register with NickServ (see /msg ubottu !register) and use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 09:45 |
| blackflow | on fbsd, for example, you'll have pages swapped out even if you have more than sufficient RAM. on linux, there's the swappiness factor and the decision making is different. that's all I know about specific differences. | 09:45 |
| Bugzie | There no Windows code to look at but behavior and Windows Internals | 09:45 |
| blip99 | brainwash, Bugzie: libstrongswan-extra-plugins requires libcurl3, bionic comes with libcurl4. is it fine to remove 4? | 09:46 |
| sliddis | I got spotify and slack through the new snap packet manager. why does snap applications take so long time to start up? | 09:46 |
| brainwash | blip99: doesn't other software depend on libcurl4? | 09:46 |
| Bugzie | blip99: First, what happen to apt install libstrongswan-extra-plugins | 09:48 |
| blip99 | one sec pls | 09:50 |
| blip99 | Bugzie, that package depends on libcharon-extra-plugins and libcurl3 (>= 7.16.2) | 09:51 |
| RSpliet | On Ubuntu 16.04: when I try to print from e.g. Firefox I get a list of network printers to choose from. When pressing the print button in Gnome dia on the other hand, the list is completely empty. The list in the Gnome printer settings is empty too... how come I can print from some applications, but not others? And how do I resolve this problem? | 09:51 |
| blip99 | Thus I'm forced to do something about libcurl | 09:51 |
| blip99 | brainwash, apparently not on my system. nothing using libcurl4 | 09:51 |
| blip99 | just curl | 09:51 |
| Bugzie | I am reading | 09:51 |
| blip99 | ty | 09:52 |
| brainwash | blip99: curl does not depend on libcurl? | 09:52 |
| Bugzie | I need the full pastebin | 09:52 |
| qwefytuiityty | In linux there is deamon, at FreeBDS a logo a devil. On windows it is possible to start the crazy games spoiling a psika of people. Dirty trick everywhere. But in windows it is possible and not to use games. | 09:52 |
| Bugzie | You have generic dependency problem | 09:53 |
| Bugzie | I don't know how that solve that | 09:53 |
| blip99 | brainwash, it does yes. that's fine though | 09:53 |
| Bugzie | But I need the full output | 09:53 |
| blip99 | Bugzie, sure. What shall I paste? | 09:53 |
| Bugzie | !pastebin | 09:53 |
| ubottu | For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use https://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use https://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 09:53 |
| blip99 | no i mean what do you want me to paste :) | 09:53 |
| blip99 | maybe this helps see dependencies https://packages.ubuntu.com/artful/libstrongswan-extra-plugins | 09:54 |
| Bugzie | The whole fucking content | 09:54 |
| Bugzie | I want to see what you see | 09:54 |
| akldsfjlskdfkj | Hello | 09:54 |
| blip99 | if you can ok the removal of libcurl4 and curl, to install libcurl3. Then I think everything will be fine | 09:55 |
| qwefytuiityty | linux daemon | 09:55 |
| Bugzie | NO | 09:55 |
| Bugzie | blip99: I want to make sure you can work your problem safely | 09:56 |
| Bugzie | blip99: But I think you must installed the problem from a different source | 09:57 |
| blip99 | ok let me compile a pastebin with some info. Give me few mins please Bugzie | 09:58 |
| Bugzie | I said pastebin | 09:58 |
| blip99 | yep | 09:58 |
| Bugzie | But YOu don't want real help | 09:58 |
| blip99 | I have a meeting at work. I'll be back soon | 09:59 |
| silver_hook | I’m trying to scan with my Epson L386 and so far the only way was to install ImageScan (Epson’s own scanning tool), as Sane doesn’t find the scanner. It worked for months, but now whenever I scan with ImageScan I cannot get the scan image file. | 09:59 |
| Bugzie | I don't know printer stuff | 09:59 |
| Bugzie | I can offer just basic help | 10:00 |
| silver_hook | The oddest thing is that ImageScan does create the (empty) file when the scan starts, but after the scan finishes, it deletes it. | 10:00 |
| Bugzie | silver_hook: What isn't working | 10:00 |
| silver_hook | Bugzie: No, that’s not working in the end ;) | 10:01 |
| silver_hook | It used to work fine though. | 10:01 |
| Bugzie | Explain | 10:01 |
| Bugzie | What isn't working | 10:01 |
| SimonNL | funny guy | 10:01 |
| Bugzie | No | 10:01 |
| Bugzie | What isn't working? | 10:01 |
| Bugzie | Be specific | 10:02 |
| Bugzie | When I click on this problem it doesn't print | 10:02 |
| SimonNL | silver_hook: maybe completely removing driver and re-istalling it | 10:02 |
| Bugzie | NO | 10:02 |
| Bugzie | Linux has wholesale drivers per kernel | 10:03 |
| jnhghy | Hi, I have a computer running ubuntu 16.04 trying to mount a nfs drive throw fstab but it doesn't mount at startup ( if I run sudo mount -a it works ) I've noticed the "wired connection" notification comes pretty late so I guess there is no link at boot how can I make it mount after the connection is on? | 10:03 |
| SimonNL | not always for scanners/printers | 10:03 |
| SimonNL | Bugzie: ^ | 10:03 |
| SimonNL | afaik | 10:03 |
| Bugzie | Yes, I'd agree if he says what desn't work | 10:04 |
| silver_hook | Bugzie, SimonNL: the driver works, since I can get the preview to show on screen. But when I click to “scan”, it creates the file it wants to save the image to, then finishes the scan, and then the very instance deletes the file. | 10:05 |
| Bugzie | jmgb4: Pstebin /mnt/fstab | 10:05 |
| === _OffseT_ is now known as Guest81044 | ||
| silver_hook | So the scan works, but I can’t get a file out of it (anymore) | 10:05 |
| Bugzie | silver_hook: Does it print | 10:05 |
| silver_hook | Bugzie: Yes | 10:05 |
| Bugzie | oR, SAN | 10:06 |
| === Guest81044 is now known as _OffseT | ||
| silver_hook | Bugzie: It even prints over the WiFi. | 10:06 |
| Bugzie | What program are you using for scan? | 10:06 |
| silver_hook | Bugzie: ImageScan (Epson’s own thing), since Sane doesn’t find it as a scanner (even over USB). | 10:06 |
| RSpliet | silver_hook: the fact that you say "Sane doesn't recognise my scanner" makes me suspect that instead of a nicely integrated driver, the Epson scanning tool talks to your scanner directly through a generic USB library. There's little that the open source community can do to debug Epson's (closed source) tool chain | 10:06 |
| silver_hook | RSpliet: AFAIK, ImageScan actually is built on SANE. | 10:07 |
| === gms is now known as Guest61994 | ||
| silver_hook | http://download.ebz.epson.net/man/linux/imagescanv3_e.html | 10:07 |
| silver_hook | Which is double-odd. | 10:07 |
| silver_hook | As for drivers, I have the official Epson FOSS drivers installed: printer-driver-escpr | 10:08 |
| RSpliet | silver_hook: but you say that SANE doesn't recognise your scanner... insane I'd even call that ;-) | 10:08 |
| silver_hook | RSpliet: Well, TBH, SANE is pretty messed up to begin with from the end-user PoV :p | 10:09 |
| blackflow | silver_hook: is your scanner listed as supported here: https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/doc/libsane/supported.html#Z-EPSON | 10:09 |
| silver_hook | blackflow: No. | 10:10 |
| RSpliet | Then I'll stand by my assertion that the Epson tool is not doing things the open source way, but is speaking their own protocol behind the back of Sane. You might want to get in touch with Epson about problems with their tool | 10:11 |
| silver_hook | It depends on Sane though: http://support.epson.net/linux/src/scanner/imagescanv3/ubuntu/imagescan_3.38.0-1epson4ubuntu17.10.dsc | 10:12 |
| blackflow | RSpliet: +1 | 10:12 |
| Bugzie | I agree and disgree with RSpliet | 10:12 |
| Bugzie | I mean, you can't help it, but you can make it work | 10:13 |
| silver_hook | Also, the tool itself is FOSS (GPL-3.0-or-later): https://github.com/utsushi/imagescan | 10:13 |
| Bugzie | However, This is the wrong room | 10:13 |
| blackflow | silver_hook: seen this? https://srm.gr/scanning-over-network-linux-xsane-and-wifi-or-ethernet-scanner-epson-l386 | 10:14 |
| Bugzie | I think you need find hardware room | 10:14 |
| silver_hook | The hardware obviously works (scanner responds, I get a preview), the app seems buggy (deletes the saved image) | 10:15 |
| blackflow | silver_hook: specifically, it calls for a manual config entry, after installing the iscan drivers | 10:15 |
| silver_hook | blackflow: I’ll look into it, thanks. | 10:15 |
| RSpliet | silver_hook: interesting! On the plus side, that gives you a good reference to talk to :-) | 10:15 |
| blackflow | silver_hook: because then you could use the xsane's quickscan program, or whatsitcalled | 10:16 |
| silver_hook | blackflow: That’d be awesome, yeah. ImageScan is a PITA to use compared to xsane or SkanLite. | 10:16 |
| silver_hook | Anyway, I won’t bother you guys anymore and dive into what blackflow linked. | 10:16 |
| m2_teknix | how can I redirect output of "pipreqs some_package --print" directly to "pip install" | 10:16 |
| Bugzie | mz`: | | 10:19 |
| Bugzie | doesn't work? | 10:19 |
| blackflow | m2_teknix: if "-r -" does not work for pip install, then output to a file, and give that file to pip with -r | 10:20 |
| blackflow | otherwise, use xargs | 10:20 |
| Bugzie | No | 10:20 |
| Bugzie | m2_teknix: | doesn't work? | 10:20 |
| Bugzie | Maybe, I am wrong, | is a pipe? | 10:21 |
| _cc | wouldn't it be pip install -r `pipreqs some_package --print` | 10:21 |
| Bugzie | Oh | 10:21 |
| Bugzie | I am wrong | 10:21 |
| Bugzie | NO | 10:22 |
| blackflow | _cc: no, -r takes the filename containing the list of packages | 10:22 |
| _cc | oh | 10:22 |
| Triffid_Hunter | so, -r <(pipreqs ...) ? | 10:22 |
| Bugzie | cat word | grep | 10:22 |
| _cc | I haven't used it much, and yeah -r < should then be correct | 10:22 |
| Bugzie | Yeah it works | 10:22 |
| blackflow | no, -r takes the filename..... file NAME. | 10:22 |
| Bugzie | blackflow: 06:16 < m2_teknix> how can I redirect output of "pipreqs some_package --print" directly to "pip install" | 10:23 |
| Triffid_Hunter | blackflow: and <(..) causes bash to create a named pipe and connect the command in parentheses' output to it.. echo <(cat) for example spits out /dev/fd/63 | 10:23 |
| Bugzie | So | doesn't work? | 10:23 |
| BluesKaj | Howdy folks | 10:23 |
| Triffid_Hunter | blackflow: which is perfect for feeding output to something that wants a filename | 10:24 |
| blackflow | Triffid_Hunter: I was referring to using | with -r :) but yeah, named pipe should work. forgot about that one. | 10:25 |
| _cc | yeah, i said "-r <", not "-r |" | 10:26 |
| Bugzie | You almost made me cheak my work blackflow | 10:26 |
| Bugzie | check* | 10:26 |
| Bugzie | blackflow: ^^ | 10:26 |
| blackflow | _cc: you said -r `command that outputs something on stdout` | 10:27 |
| === gms is now known as Guest4245 | ||
| _cc | and after that i corrected it | 10:27 |
| Bugzie | blackflow: I don't want dislike you and make you my enemy | 10:28 |
| Bugzie | blackflow: I am Bugzbunny, I've been kline from freenode many times... | 10:29 |
| Bugzie | Trying to make friend with you, otherwise, tell me to fuck off | 10:30 |
| Bugzie | I won't highlight you ever | 10:30 |
| silver_hook | blackflow: “iscan” in that article is the same as “ImageScan” that I referred to. I’ll try to get it to work somehow. The fact that it works for the guy is already a good hint :) | 10:30 |
| blackflow | Bugzie: no idea what you're talking about. | 10:30 |

| blackflow | silver_hook: yw | 10:36 |
| Bugzie | BluesKaj: Make it clear for me, you actually telling me to be on on topic | 10:36 |
| blackflow | silver_hook: btw, gimp can also scan things with xsane, if that quick scan program is insufficient | 10:36 |
| Bugzie | err | 10:36 |
| jeffguorg | thepun: emmmmm, like stackoverflow ? | 10:36 |
| Bugzie | blackflow: & | 10:36 |
| Bugzie | blackflow: Is that you really want? | 10:37 |
| silver_hook | blackflow: I’m good in that department, thanks. SkanLite does exactly what I need and when not GIMP and XSane are there as well. | 10:37 |
| thepun | i have ideas about "automating" my house | 10:37 |
| Bugzie | BluesKaj: Are you OP | 10:38 |
| ikonia | Bugzie: it doesn't matter if he's an op, please try to keep to the channels topic | 10:39 |
| ikonia | it just helps it flow a little better | 10:39 |
| Bugzie | No | 10:39 |
| Bugzie | I like to know who is OP | 10:39 |
| Bugzie | That way I can behave yes? | 10:39 |
| ikonia | you can behae anyway | 10:40 |
| ikonia | !guidelines | Bugzie | 10:40 |
| ubottu | Bugzie: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 10:40 |

| Bugzie | I read the guldlines | 10:40 |
| ikonia | please try to stick to them (have a quick read through) | 10:40 |
| Bugzie | What rules I just broke | 10:40 |
| ikonia | great, so you know how to behave, thats great, if you could stick to the channels topic of ubuntu support, that would be really appreciated as it helps the channel to to flow | 10:41 |
| jeffguorg | thepun: automating your house? | 10:41 |
| * JimBuntu wonders what it's like to find worth in ones self based on disrupting IRC support channels. Must be depressing. | 10:41 | |
| ikonia | I don't think anyone is saying you broke a rule | 10:41 |

| bogdana_v | hi folks! i was wondering if anyone else was experiencing really slow downloads from archive.ubuntu.com? (i'm currently trying to see if it can be reproduced with a mirror, but thought i'd check here as well) | 10:42 |
| JimBuntu | bogdana_v, not slow here. Has been reported recently in the past, in that case it was something bad about the users connection (it was a VPS). | 10:43 |
| Bugzie | JimBuntu: I want to help you, you think I can't do that | 10:44 |
| jeffguorg | just ignore him. let him say what hey want to say. it's no sense arguing here | 10:44 |

| jeffguorg | greetings, :) | 10:45 |
| zelev | I just swinging by, I had no idea irc was still alive and kicking...was very useful to me in college many moons ago | 10:46 |
| thepun | so i wana be able to set up a small server that any device in my home can connect to and stream it through a private "intranet" | 10:47 |
| jeffguorg | zelev: me too. i'm in china. we use qq there. never had a chance to try IRC. and just surprised by it's alive | 10:47 |
| Bugzie | I mught have some ideas | 10:48 |
| JimBuntu | thepun, look into Plex, Emby, Subsonic, Madsonic, Gerbera, OpenFlixr and TvMOBiLi - pick which one is right for you. | 10:49 |
| Bugzie | Plex | 10:49 |
| tomreyn | by 'stream it through a private "intranet"', are you referring to a secondary subnet, a vlan, a vpn, audio or video streaming, or something else entirely? | 10:49 |
| Bugzie | I use | 10:49 |
| JimBuntu | thepun, You may also want to look into NextCloud | 10:49 |
| Bugzie | But that change | 10:49 |
| jeffguorg | thepun: sounds good...but you need to choose a stack to use. are you streaming via wifi or bluetooth or something else? | 10:51 |

| thepun | i want to be able to access all my files across all my devices, ms and linux based, and only at home, no outside connection | 10:52 |
| JimBuntu | thepun, the "no outside connection" has nothing to do with your media server selection... that's a different topic (#networking) | 10:53 |
| jeffguorg | it's easy man. i'm already working on that | 10:53 |
| tomreyn | thepun: which computers are going to access files on which computers? | 10:53 |
| thepun | i havent tested the signal degredation* of hardwire across a house but hopefully both, itll be nice to have plugs on the walls like sockets | 10:54 |

| thepun | sorry, custom media gui | 10:59 |
| blackflow | thepun: for wired (UTP) cables, you don't need to concern yourself with signal degradation unless you have a very big house and cables run longer than, say, 100 meters or so. otherwise for wifi, there are signal repeaters that you can put in strategic places to work around pockets with no signal | 11:00 |

| tomreyn | there are also signal repeaters for wires. | 11:00 |
| Bugzie | I will note | 11:01 |
| blackflow | tomreyn: true that, yeah. but if that's required, it's a very, very big house :) | 11:01 |

| Captain_Haddock | Hi, how do I check if my front audio output port is detected by linux? | 11:24 |
| Captain_Haddock | The audio out headphone jack is not working currently. But the mic is working fine :/ | 11:24 |
| sliddis | Can someone recommend me a lightweight *simple* image app on ubuntu 18.04 that can CROP and FLIP images? the "image viewer" app that came with 18.04 minimal install cant do anything basically | 11:25 |
| JimBuntu | sliddis, GIMP not light-weight enough? | 11:26 |
| sliddis | gimp is too heavy | 11:26 |
| sliddis | too many buttons | 11:26 |
| Captain_Haddock | sliddis: I use DigiKam. But it's not terribly light either. | 11:27 |
| JimBuntu | sliddis, do you need GUI or could it be CLI? | 11:27 |
| sliddis | JimBuntu: gui | 11:27 |
| BluesKaj | Captain_Haddock, check alsamixer and make sure automute is disabled | 11:27 |
| redwalk | Has anybody else had an issue with tmux 2.6 on 18.04 not clearing the screen? | 11:29 |
| Captain_Haddock | BluesKaj: I don't see an automute option in alsamixer. | 11:29 |
| case` | sliddis#:you could try gnome-paint, similar to mspaint is quite light | 11:29 |
| Captain_Haddock | BluesKaj: I do see a Front option in alsamixer and that's set to high | 11:30 |

| BluesKaj | Captain_Haddock, it's on the far right ,usually depends which output you're using on your sound card first, check F6 for choices | 11:31 |
| case` | sliddis: inkscape also has a lite version | 11:31 |
| blip99 | Bugzie, sorry for delay, had several meetings just got back. Hope this helps: sources.list http://termbin.com/49r6 list of Artful 5.5 swan packages I managed to install http://termbin.com/v0m0 The package that doesn't install due to libcurl3 https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Mx2HGdsFDJ/ | 11:33 |
| Captain_Haddock | BluesKaj: I only see "Loopback mixing" which was disabled. | 11:33 |
| Captain_Haddock | Enabling doesn't help. | 11:33 |
| Captain_Haddock | Let me google it. | 11:33 |
| neure | hi | 11:33 |
| neure | is there command to tell if disk drive is hdd or ssd? | 11:34 |
| BluesKaj | automute should be right beside the loopback Captain_Haddock | 11:34 |
| sliddis | JimBuntu: Captain_Haddock: gThumb image viewer is perfect for my needs. | 11:35 |
| BluesKaj | neure, not really unless you know the size of the drives then df -h should help | 11:35 |
| JimBuntu | neure, SSD is a kind of HDD. I'm not sure if there is a way to know the technology of the drive, outside *maybe* a model number/etc lookup | 11:35 |
| zenox | take the drive out and look at it | 11:36 |
| neure | stack overflow says cat /sys/block/sda/queue/rotational | 11:36 |
| neure | and that says 0 | 11:36 |
| Captain_Haddock | BluesKaj: I only have Master, Headphone, PCM, Front, Surround, Center, LFE, Side, Line, Line Boost, Line Boost, Mic, Mic Boost, S/PDIF, S/PDIF Def, Capture, Capture 1, Input Sour, Input Sour, Loopback Mixing. | 11:36 |
| Captain_Haddock | No auto-mute :( | 11:36 |
| zenox | i gave up with sound on my laptop! even with headphones in, it still came out of the speakers! | 11:37 |
| case` | neure:blkid will give you drive info - might not tell you if hdd or sdd, but will give you idea of partitions | 11:37 |
| Captain_Haddock | I do see it in screenshots. But I'm not seeing it here. | 11:37 |
| Captain_Haddock | zenox: :P | 11:37 |
| blackflow | neure: that seems to be true then. I've got 0 for SSDs and 1 for HDDs | 11:37 |
| BluesKaj | Captain_Haddock, paste your alsamixer in imgur | 11:37 |
| blackflow | neure: also, looking up serial number is the best bet | 11:37 |
| blackflow | neure: smartctl from smartmontools can help with that. It also lists "Rotation Rate: Solid State Device" for SSDs, it seems. | 11:38 |
| JimBuntu | neure, Ok, that will tell you if it's rotational or not... if you are sure about the device (sda), then I suppose you can figure out if it's the right one... I suppose a flash drive or such would also not be rtoational, yet also not the drive you are looking for | 11:38 |
| blip99 | brainwash, perhaps you have additional thoughts? Trying to downgrade bunch of swan packages. I've installed the following Artful packages on Bionic http://termbin.com/v0m0 however I cannot install some more due to libcurl3 requirement https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Mx2HGdsFDJ .. I don't need curl, is there any reason I can't uninstall liburl4? | 11:39 |
| Captain_Haddock | BluesKaj: https://i.imgur.com/FShYhgM.png | 11:40 |
| BluesKaj | Captain_Haddock, ok , seems the devs have removed automute after upgrades I guess, I don't have it anymore either | 11:44 |
| Triffid_Hunter | neure: you could hdparm -i /dev/sda and ask google about the model number.. | 11:46 |
| Captain_Haddock | BluesKaj: Thanks. Any idea what I should be looking for to see if the front audio port has been detected correctly by Linux? | 11:46 |
| BluesKaj | Captain_Haddock, looks like you have the snd_hda_intel driver. try sudo modprobe snd_hda_intel to load the driver it's a well known bug that hasn't been fixed for yrs, there won't be any out put if the driver loads properly , then reboot | 11:47 |
| neure | I opened the case | 11:49 |
| neure | both drivers are SSD | 11:50 |
| Captain_Haddock | BluesKaj: Trying now. | 11:57 |
| xirg | Salut | 12:00 |
| Norux | hi everybody | 12:02 |
| BluesKaj | hi xirg, Norux | 12:02 |
| xirg | hi | 12:03 |
| Captain_Haddock | BluesKaj: No change :( | 12:09 |
| BluesKaj | Captain_Haddock, ok let's make sure of the driver, cat /proc/asound/modules | 12:10 |
| xirg | so with a fresh install of smtp, do I need to add a hostname for smtp.mydomain.com | 12:10 |
| Captain_Haddock | BluesKaj: 0 snd_hda_intel | 12:10 |
| Captain_Haddock | 1 snd_hda_intel | 12:10 |
| Captain_Haddock | FWIW, it works when I use the rear audio ports. | 12:10 |
| Captain_Haddock | It's only front audio that's problematic. | 12:11 |
| Captain_Haddock | Rather, Rear audio out works, but rear mic doesn't. Front mic works, but audio doesn't :/ | 12:11 |
| Captain_Haddock | I also have a nvidia gp108 card, FYI. | 12:12 |
| BluesKaj | Captain_Haddock, install pavucontrol to set your audio out and input levels and devices | 12:12 |
| Captain_Haddock | BluesKaj: I already have it. I see the audio meters reacting to the input/output as described above. | 12:14 |
| BluesKaj | Captain_Haddock, your gpu only carries audio thru hdmi or displayport afaik | 12:14 |
| RSpliet | Captain_Haddock: Pardon my attempt to disambiguate... are we talking about a desktop computer with audio port on the front of the case *and* the back? Or are we talking about the various channels (front speakers, rear speakers) in the audio ports on the back of the case? | 12:17 |
| Captain_Haddock | RSpliet: Desktop computer with ports in the front and back. | 12:18 |
| RSpliet | Okay, in that case the "Front" as you see in Alsa mixer is not what you are after ;-) | 12:19 |
| Captain_Haddock | heh. Yeah. I guessed as much :) | 12:19 |

| Captain_Haddock | RSpliet: KDE | 12:20 |
| RSpliet | Ah... :-D | 12:20 |

| Captain_Haddock | zafeer: Go to the website, download and follow instructions. | 12:21 |
| RSpliet | Captain_Haddock: a window like this https://userbase.kde.org/images.userbase/0/0e/Phonon-Audio-Hardware.png should let you select between the front and rear ports. Applications have to choose, they're unlikely to play over both outputs at the same time | 12:21 |
| zafeer | can you please send me the link | 12:21 |
| BluesKaj | zafeer, you install ubuntu-studio, not android | 12:21 |
| JimBuntu | zafeer, https://askubuntu.com/questions/634082/how-to-install-android-studio-on-ubuntu | 12:21 |
| JimBuntu | BluesKaj, "Android Studio" is the default IDE/extras for writing Android apps. | 12:22 |
| [twisti] | i have a script that returns exit codes > 1, but for further processing, i need to convert them to 1 (or 0, if its 0). anyone got a handy oneline for that ? | 12:22 |
| BluesKaj | yeah, but why would you want android on ubuntu, JimBuntu | 12:22 |
| BluesKaj | ? | 12:23 |
| ikonia | you need to change the script to show sucesss/failure then | 12:23 |
| zafeer | thank you verymuch guys | 12:23 |
| ikonia | you can't change the exit code | 12:23 |
| RSpliet | Captain_Haddock: I'm a Gnome guy (in fact, Fedora for personal use. Lurking here to try and solve a printer problem with my office machine - but I fear my q has disappeared into the void by now) so not too familiar with the GUIs of KDE. | 12:23 |
| JimBuntu | BluesKaj, ? ... so you can write Android applications | 12:23 |
| ikonia | BluesKaj: it'a development IDE | 12:23 |
| Riley | hey guys im thinking about getting another drive for a linux partition. Is it possible to duel boot without grub now just by selecting the default boot drive in the bios? | 12:23 |
| zafeer | thankyou very much guys | 12:23 |
| BluesKaj | ok ikonia | 12:23 |
| Riley | I have an asus rog motherboard | 12:23 |
| ikonia | Riley: you'll need grub | 12:23 |
| ikonia | why would grub be a problem on a seperate drive ? | 12:23 |
| [twisti] | ikonia: i meant something like "script && exit 0 || exit 1" | 12:23 |
| ikonia | [twisti]: nah, that's not going to work | 12:23 |
| JimBuntu | [twisti], in this case, I would store the exit status as a variable, do an if [ x > 1] then x=1 | 12:23 |
| ikonia | [twisti]: maybe see if you can use the RETVAL param ? | 12:24 |
| [twisti] | then im describing it badly, because i know it works as ive seen it before | 12:24 |
| ikonia | there you go, as JimBuntu said, manipulate RETVAL | 12:24 |
| BluesKaj | Captain_Haddock, make sure your relevant volme ctls in alsamixer are not muted (MM) | 12:24 |
| Captain_Haddock | RSpliet: Thank you :) Newer versions have an updated UI with an explicit Port setting. I however don't see a front audio port. | 12:24 |
| JimBuntu | Captain_Haddock, the "front audio port" is often known as the headphone jack | 12:25 |
| Riley | ikonia: my hope was just to be able to boot straight into ubuntu and when I want to play games just reselect the default boot drive from my bios | 12:25 |
| Captain_Haddock | RSpliet: I do see a Microphone port for input. But that doesn't work when connected in the rear. | 12:25 |
| Riley | I have 3 drives already on this desktop | 12:25 |
| RSpliet | Captain_Haddock: how many sound "cards" do you have in that menu? 2 or 3? | 12:26 |
| RSpliet | Sorry if this was asked already :-) | 12:26 |
| BluesKaj | Captain_Haddock, think your headphone volume ctrl is the front, front in alsmixer means front speakers afaik | 12:26 |
| Captain_Haddock | JimBuntu: I unfortunately don't see it listed. I only see "Line out" for output and Microphone and Line In (unplugged) for input. | 12:26 |
| Captain_Haddock | RSpliet: Two. | 12:26 |
| Captain_Haddock | BluesKaj: They appear to all be unmuted. | 12:27 |

| qwefytuiityty | as wariant | 12:28 |
| BluesKaj | Captain_Haddock, in the imgur you posted headphone level is down and MM is showing in the box | 12:28 |
| qwefytuiityty | variant | 12:28 |
| RSpliet | Captain_Haddock: you say the front mic port works... and perhaps you already have them working with Another Operating System (tm) so I doubt this'll make a difference, but... in some BIOS/UEFIs the "front audio panel" can be explicitly enabled and disabled. Did you check these settings? | 12:30 |

| Cheez | Anticom: i only know that same syntax off of the top of my head, check man find to see if it has any sort of absolute syntax | 13:08 |

| guiverc | Anticom, you realize `man` has a search/find function | 13:10 |
| Cheez | blip99: afaik (and it's been a while) if you do an admin reset of a user's password you need to re-encrypt their home dir. | 13:10 |

| Anticom | guiverc: haha know what you're talking about | 13:12 |
| Anticom | guiverc: however that's positive in a sense as this means it's in the muscle memory already and you don't have to think about it conciously | 13:12 |
| longword | Anti, that's not how find works. It's relative. Feed it a number of days, optionally with a + or - | 13:12 |
| rypervenche | Anticom: There's also -newerXY | 13:13 |
| Spass | where I should submit this bug? more details are here - https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=12190 | 13:13 |
| Cheez | something like find -mtime $(echo $(date +%s) - $(date +%s -d"Jan 1, 2016 00:00:00") should work? | 13:13 |
| Cheez | not sure :) | 13:13 |
| longword | You could make your own fresh reference file with touch --date= | 13:14 |
| rypervenche | Anticom: For example: find . -newermt 2016-01-01 | 13:15 |
| Anticom | rypervenche: that worked a charm, thanks! | 13:17 |
| rypervenche | Anticom: You can also add the opposite of that to create a range: find . -newermt 2016-01-01 ! -newermt 2016-02-01 | 13:18 |
| Anticom | rypervenche: probably won't remember the XY part but that's easy to find in the man pages. Thanks for the tip, very convenient | 13:19 |

| Shmam | so you tried `git init`? | 13:47 |
| roman777 | hola | 13:47 |
| Shmam | you should create a directory first `mkdir myFolder` then `cd myFolder` and finally, `git init` | 13:47 |
| Es0teric | touche, Shmam | 13:48 |
| JimBuntu | Es0teric, are you a member of the www-data group? | 13:48 |
| Es0teric | JimBuntu yeah now i am... i guess it didnt work cuz i had to ssh out of the server then ssh back in | 13:49 |
| Es0teric | i could have just source ~/.bashrc but meh | 13:49 |
| Shmam | or if you are using github, I always just `git pull` which is much faster | 13:49 |

| fission6 | i want to straight up remove the .conf files | 14:20 |

| fission6 | conf files i wrote for uwsgi and celery, when i cloned an ec2 which should have them, they are now on a sandbox instances which shouldn't run the same .conf | 14:21 |

| czbaker | Hey folks, how goes? Having a weird xorg issue. I have three displays, and I had a configuration saved using `nvidia-settings`, but it isn't being read when I start up my desktop env. Config is stored in both /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /usr/share/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf, neither seems to be read. Where should this config be stored? | 14:56 |
| czbaker | Currently using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, forgot to mention that. | 14:57 |
| joelio | czbaker: aer you in Wayland or actual Xorg? | 15:00 |
| czbaker | I would assume Xorg, since I thought that was the default now? | 15:00 |
| czbaker | I forgot that Wayland was even a thing. | 15:00 |
| joelio | actually, yes and no.. there is still some Wayland about | 15:00 |
| czbaker | Oh. | 15:01 |
| czbaker | How do I check, in that case? I didn't know that was a thing. | 15:01 |
| joelio | is this a fresh install? | 15:01 |
| joelio | or dist-upgrade? | 15:01 |
| czbaker | Fresh | 15:01 |

| arkin | I'm having issues on Ubuntu 18.04 whereby a single process is causing the server to lock up and become completely unusable, even SSH - can anyone advice on measures to prevent this? Unfortunately, the task needs to run. | 15:04 |
| xbb_ | I am running Ubuntu 16.04 as my HTPC ans whenever PC wakes up from sleep there is no sound from HDMI. There are different solutions offered, but it seems that not all of them work. Is there proven solution to make sound work? | 15:04 |
| leftyfb | arkin: which task? | 15:05 |
| arkin | leftyfb: npm install | 15:05 |
| arkin | Its an AWS micro EC2, and it runs fine for me, but the other developer might be overlapping instances of it or something causing the server to completely hang | 15:05 |
| arkin | just slightly concerning as the web/ssh services stop responding too | 15:05 |
| joelio | arkin: renice the process? | 15:05 |
| arkin | joelio I was considering this, will renice apply to any time npm install is used ? or do I have to run it with the nice command? | 15:06 |
| tomreyn | arkin: the latter | 15:06 |
| joelio | arkin: yea, if you want to do it before, use nice | 15:07 |
| arkin | a@b:~$ nice -n -5 npm install >>> nice: cannot set niceness: Permission denied | 15:07 |
| arkin | Is there no way to stop any process blocking the server? I'm more concerned that the entire thing locks up. | 15:07 |
| joelio | sudo | 15:07 |
| joelio | hang on though | 15:08 |
| joelio | you only need sudo when settign a privilege higher! | 15:08 |
| arkin | Yeah, thats what I read too | 15:08 |
| czbaker | Hmm, it seems that maybe I've been doing this wrong (tm) all along. | 15:10 |
| arkin | ---- just to add: 19 is the lowest priority and -20 is the highest priority. For priorities below 0 you need to be root (however there are exceptions possible). you can see in the system monitor the niceness of your program. | 15:10 |
| arkin | oops | 15:10 |
| tomreyn | arkin: your primary goal should be to determine why the process consumes that many cpu resources (review / adjust npm configuration to match its environment, identify and fix problems in application code using language specific / aware performance monitoring and debugging utilities) and (that's a separate issue and thus a research topic) why it is able to lock up the OS (check dmesg -T, syslog). | 15:23 |
| tomreyn | nice / renice is just a crude workaround, as is any containment (but it should help to prevent any impac ton the OS). | 15:24 |
| tomreyn | s/performance monitoring/profiling/ | 15:25 |
| lapaga | hi all - although not that important but am curiouis...mate and gnome screensaver makes my keyboard not work but xscreensaver does not...any ideas? | 15:26 |
| joelio | tomreyn: true, but look how many things use nice/renice in practice :) | 15:32 |
| tomreyn | joelio: it's good to use it to set initial priorities, just not to fix or diagnose load issues. | 15:33 |

| mcm_ | are packages allowed to modify files in /etc/skel ? e.g. /etc/skel/.profile from 'bash' package? | 15:47 |

| nacc | mcm_: but it depends on what you mean by 'modify', packages are what install the files in there | 16:15 |
| mcm_ | i was thinking to create a patch file to add couple of additional like to /etc/skel/.profile from golang package | 16:16 |
| nacc | mcm_: i believe the only ubuntu package that touches that particular file is bash; although it's possible something could do odd stuff in postinst, etc. | 16:16 |
| mcm_ | so that the default ~/go/bin gets added to PATH | 16:16 |

| EriC^^ | de-facto: are you trying to mount it? | 17:33 |

| de-facto | its not been deleted, the HDD was failing, so my collegue took ddrescue to make an dd image from it | 17:37 |
| de-facto | so i guess some sectors were unable to be read out and filled with zeros eventually or such | 17:38 |
| EriC^^ | maybe the filesystem got damaged, i'd try testdisk, if that fails there's photorec | 17:38 |
| de-facto | would testdisk be better for NTFS than photorec? | 17:39 |
| pragmaticenigma | de-facto: perhaps this site can help you out? https://www.technibble.com/guide-using-ddrescue-recover-data/ | 17:39 |
| de-facto | is photorec for the uSD-Cards with FAT and photos on it? | 17:39 |
| EriC^^ | they're different software by the same company, photorec looks for file headers, testdisk can recover files and dir structures and such | 17:39 |

| sambux | Does anyone know why moving files in a smb mounted dir starts copying instead of moving? | 20:02 |
| leftyfb | sambux: because it's an external filesystem | 20:02 |
| elbobonut | Doesn't it copy and then remove it? | 20:03 |
| leftyfb | sambux: dragging and dropping between different filesystems will copy, not move by default | 20:03 |
| sambux | leftyfb: Why doesn't that happen when mapping the dir from a windows machine? | 20:03 |
| sambux | leftyfb: Not between, I mean inside the same dir | 20:04 |
| leftyfb | sambux: please explain again | 20:04 |
| leftyfb | sambux: you need to clarify what works in what situation on what OS and what filesystem | 20:05 |
| sambux | I have a smb mounted drive with directories containing gigabytes of data. When I want to restructure the directories it starts to copy the file not move it | 20:05 |
| matjam | sambux: have you tried using the shell | 20:05 |
| leftyfb | sambux: test with a smaller test file. See if it deletes after it copies | 20:05 |
| leftyfb | also that ^ | 20:06 |
| sambux | Yes it deletes it. The "move" is done but instead of taking 1 sec it takes minutes. It first copys then deletes | 20:07 |
| leftyfb | ok | 20:07 |
| sambux | When I try same thing from a windows machine it just moves without copying | 20:07 |
| leftyfb | we don't support Windows here | 20:07 |
| sambux | BTW, it doesn't take minutes it takes hours since I'm on a slow wireless | 20:08 |
| leftyfb | sambux: that's how nautilus moves. It deletes then copies | 20:08 |

| canalzone | pavlos: please read my messages again before making comments. | 20:18 |
| canalzone | Also the calendar doesn't respect the first day of the month of the locale. It's probably hard-coded to Monday. | 20:19 |
| canalzone | But that's a non-issue for me, rather than the ridiculous hard-coded date format. | 20:19 |
| canalzone | Or maybe there is some configuration except dconf and gnome-tweaks which I'm not aware of. | 20:19 |
| pragmaticenigma | canalzone: You aren't alone in the annoyance. Gnome Devs strive to make things easy, by not including the ability to customize each small facet of their application. It is customizable, but I cannot find any clear cut, 100% foolproof way to adjust/change the format, without risk to breaking something else. | 20:25 |

| SlidingHorn | tgm4883: not sure how that was off topic, as I'm clarifying about a question they had which was an Ubuntu support question, but whatever. | 20:32 |
| tgm4883 | SlidingHorn: maybe I missed it, but I didn't see where canalzone specified it was anything else but a Gnome issue. Nothing really to clarify IMO | 20:33 |
| pragmaticenigma | canalzone: That would be on the assumption that Ubuntu developed Gnome, which they don't. Canoncial merely glues together different projects to create an ecosystem and operating system. They contribute to projects, but those projects have the final say in whether the contribution is accepted or not. Gnome is really were the decision on the format was made. Not Ubuntu. | 20:33 |

| puxavida | ber4444, do you have macos on there too - what do you see pressing option/alt key? What about installing refind on the macos side? | 20:49 |

| ber4444 | @puxavida I can see the Ubuntu vs OS X selection menu but selecting Ubuntu, cannot properly boot into anything else than recovery | 20:50 |

| Eprevodilac | Hey, was wondering if I could get some help with pcf font usage? | 21:22 |
| xamithan | What does that mean | 21:25 |
| slingamn | does the installer for 18.04 server not provide an option to encrypt the disk? | 21:25 |
| slingamn | https://askubuntu.com/a/1030555 yeah, looks like i need the alternate installer | 21:26 |
| compdoc | slingamn, I thought it did. but it has to be lvd | 21:27 |
| Eprevodilac | mb | 21:35 |
| Eprevodilac | trying to get pcf fonts to work in terminal | 21:35 |
| Eprevodilac | i can use bcf bitmap fonts fine | 21:36 |
| Eprevodilac | i have the pcf files in /usr/share/fonts/misc | 21:36 |
| Eprevodilac | they show up as an option, but it's just some generic sans font when I choose it and not the actual font | 21:37 |

| RSpliet | On Ubuntu 16.04: when I try to print from e.g. Firefox I get a list of network printers to choose from. When pressing the print button in Gnome dia on the other hand, the list is either completely empty or selecting a printer leads to a program crash. The list in the Gnome printer settings is empty too... how come I can print from some applications, but not others (something something GTK2 vs. GTK3 print libs perhaps?)? And how do | 21:46 |
| RSpliet | lve this problem? | 21:46 |

| mattfly | hello | 22:52 |
| mattfly | ubuntu 18.04 is fine it just doenst hibernate | 22:52 |
| mattfly | how can a OS in 2018 be completly unable of doing hibernation? | 22:54 |
| Two_Dogs | voodoo? | 22:54 |
| xamithan | Did you install and enable the hibernate ? | 22:54 |
| Two_Dogs | mattfly: missing swap partition? | 22:55 |
| mattfly | okay so let me tell the story | 22:55 |
| xamithan | It isn't enabled by default because a lot of machines don't support it | 22:55 |
| mattfly | well whatever: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/667833 | 22:56 |
| mattfly | since beta is the same issue | 22:56 |
| mattfly | So i have that machine describled there and by default ubuntu comes with a way too small swap file for 16 gb of ram i usually have almost filled to save on the hibernation partition | 22:56 |
| mattfly | then i created a new swap file, added it to fstab, updated the initramfs and when i run s2disk two things happen | 22:57 |
| xamithan | If you already got a bug report no one in here is going to be able to help | 22:57 |
| mattfly | i dont know if its a bug | 22:58 |
| gogeta | mattfly, it make no diffrence if you almost fill swap thats why its called swap | 22:58 |
| mattfly | i dont know what to report in case it is or how no one else havent expecting it, i dont know if im the only person trying to hibernate ubuntu when having more than 2gb of swap... | 22:58 |
| mattfly | gogeta what i meant is that ubuntu comes with a way to small swap | 22:59 |
| mattfly | what is filled is my 16gb long ram | 22:59 |
| gogeta | mattfly, you can go back to a swappartation | 22:59 |
| mattfly | yes ive done that | 22:59 |
| mattfly | i have the exact same issue when trying with a large swap file | 22:59 |
| gogeta | mattfly, if you make a swap part you dont need a swapfile | 23:00 |
| kostkon | mattfly, also be aware of bug #1743094 | 23:00 |
| ubottu | bug 1743094 in linux (Ubuntu Artful) "[regression] hibernation (freezes on resume) since 4.13.0-25.29" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1743094 | 23:00 |
| mattfly | when i run s2disk the snapshooting system message pops then the computer seems to turn off, then it comes back completly frost with the s2disk snapshooting system message and the only way is alt+printscreen REISUB or the power buttton | 23:00 |
| mattfly | thats not my problem | 23:01 |
| mattfly | im on bionic and have tried newer kernels as well | 23:01 |
| mattfly | swapon -s | 23:02 |
| mattfly | Filename Type Size Used Priority | 23:02 |
| mattfly | /swapfile file 16777212 0 -2 | 23:02 |
| gogeta | mattfly, did you run swawpoff first | 23:02 |
| gogeta | mattfly, then make your new swapfile | 23:02 |
| gogeta | mattfly, then swapon | 23:02 |
| mattfly | yes this been since 2 monhs | 23:02 |
| mattfly | ive rebooted and so on | 23:02 |
| mattfly | since 1 month | 23:02 |
| gogeta | mattfly, isnt that 16gb | 23:03 |
| mattfly | maybe i need to understand whats keeping s2disk from proceding or whats going on | 23:04 |
| mattfly | how can i ged some verbose from this thing or save to file since a reboot will be needed after it freezes? | 23:04 |
| mattfly | yes a 16 gb swapfile | 23:05 |
| mattfly | well about that, im surelly not using more ram than that when i try to hibernate | 23:05 |
| gogeta | mattfly, well you need dont need that mutch swap | 23:06 |
| mattfly | thats surelly not the problem | 23:06 |
| gogeta | relly dont need | 23:06 |
| mattfly | Im trying to get a problem solved which is probrably something im missing to make hibernation works | 23:07 |
| gogeta | mattfly, 16gb is overkill | 23:07 |
| mattfly | what would make s2disk freezes ? | 23:07 |
| gogeta | mattfly, hibernate may be broken itsself | 23:07 |
| mattfly | what if i have 32 gb of ram and im using 20 gb and want to hibernate? | 23:07 |
| Two_Dogs | mattfly: syslog should contain something worth reading | 23:07 |
| mattfly | it is not possi? | 23:07 |
| tyzoid | mmattfly: IIRC then you'll need at least that much swap | 23:08 |
| mattfly | exactly! | 23:08 |
| gogeta | mattfly, lol you trying to hibernate a game | 23:08 |
| tyzoid | gogeta: Sounds like a bunch of linux vms to me. | 23:08 |
| mattfly | no im trying to find out some sense and t o prove that having a big swap is not my problem | 23:08 |
| tyzoid | Or one windows vm | 23:08 |
| gogeta | mattfly, i did say the problem may be with hibernate itself | 23:09 |
| mattfly | with s2disk? | 23:09 |
| Two_Dogs | mattfly: what kernel is active? | 23:09 |
| gogeta | mattfly, does you system behave normaly when you dont hibernate | 23:10 |
| mattfly | $ uname -r | 23:10 |
| mattfly | 4.15.0-20-generic | 23:10 |
| mattfly | the system is perfect, just hibernate is not working | 23:10 |
| mattfly | hibernationg worked on 17.10 btw | 23:10 |
| Two_Dogs | mattfly: has that kernel had any bugs reported specific to hibernation? | 23:11 |
| nacc | mattfly: then file a bug? | 23:11 |
| mattfly | i have the sensation that you need a to make a swap big enough while installing ubuntu, which means that im missing something when trying to hibernate on this one | 23:11 |
| gogeta | mattfly, if you make a swap partation no swapfile is made | 23:11 |
| mattfly | like some grub entry, something s2disk, probrably has a bug or would behave like this | 23:11 |
| gogeta | mattfly, so you can make a 16gb swap part | 23:12 |
| nacc | mattfly: afaik, running s2disk manually is not recommended | 23:13 |
| mattfly | i run hibernate and get the same result | 23:13 |
| nacc | mattfly: you mean pm-hibernate? | 23:13 |
| mattfly | that too | 23:13 |
| nacc | mattfly: you can try some of the debugging options at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PowerManagement/Hibernate | 23:13 |
| gogeta | mattfly, yea if you systems reporting 16gb swap its not a swap issue | 23:14 |
| nacc | mattfly: afaik, hibernate and pm-hibernate are very different issues | 23:14 |
| nacc | *programs | 23:14 |
| gogeta | mattfly, you have a hibernate issue | 23:14 |
| mattfly | whenever they call s2disk and snapshooting to disk it all freezes | 23:14 |
| jcdutton | mattfly, hibernating 16GB will take some time to complete | 23:15 |
| mattfly | its interesting that my system seems to turn off for a while and comes back frost | 23:16 |
| mattfly | the problem is with s2disk not with those programs | 23:16 |
| mattfly | when i call pm-hibernate now nothing happens | 23:16 |
| nacc | mattfly: did you configure pm-hibernate to use s2disk ? | 23:17 |
| jcdutton | mattfly, which graphics driver are you using? | 23:17 |
| gogeta | mattfly, maybe they simple cant handel a 16gb hibernate call | 23:17 |
| nacc | mattfly: s2disk is used by pm-hibernate, if so configured. I don't know about hibernate. | 23:17 |

| SlidingHorn | scoffin: what method did you use to set the font | 23:31 |
| SlidingHorn | TBotNik: which version & flavor OS? | 23:32 |
| === dead-ringer is now known as coffeeguy | ||
| TBotNik | SlidingHorn: Kubuntu 14.04 LTS | 23:33 |
| SlidingHorn | TBotNik: shot in the dark here...does ps aux | grep -i maria return anything | 23:35 |
| scoffin | sliding: just the install from 1804, AFAIK i did not set any font | 23:37 |
| TBotNik | SlidingHorn: Shows a color | 23:37 |
| SlidingHorn | TBotNik: okay (that's just highlighting the search we just performed...) - I wanted to see if your system was running mariahdb instead | 23:38 |
| scoffin | but once logged in, the display seems normal | 23:39 |
| SlidingHorn | scoffin: so what do you mean by "using wrong fonts" then? | 23:39 |
| scoffin | all the characters on the login screen are weird color blocks, not expected ascii | 23:41 |
| tomreyn | TBotNik: please post the output of these commands (and the commands you ran there, too) to a pastebin: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-cache policy; sudo apt-get -f install | 23:41 |

| tomreyn | TBotNik: i don't mind wherre you post it, as long as it will be complete and readable. | 23:50 |

| washuu_de | Hi. I have a problem with the boot-repair tool. Am I right here or is there another channel? | 23:52 |

| tomreyn | TBotNik: it would only be empty if the other commands produced critical errors. we shall see. | 23:52 |
| oerheks | !ubuwin | 23:52 |
| ubottu | Windows 10 has a feature called Windows Subsystem for Linux, which allows it to run Ubuntu (and other Linux distro) userspace programs without porting/recompliation. For discussion and support, see #ubuntu-on-windows or ##windows. For installation instructions, see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/commandline/wsl/install_guide | 23:52 |

| washuu_de | Hi. I have a problem with the boot-repair tool. Am I right here or is there another channel? I did a fresh install of Trusty but I can't boot it. | 23:56 |
| TBotNik | tomreyn: Your idea on installing something won't work as "held" packages make all "apt-get" commands fail until those are resolved! Been through this once before! | 23:57 |

| scoffin | ok, I got a jpg of my login screen, where can I paste it? | 23:58 |
| SlidingHorn | washuu_de: this should be fine - Quick question though - Any particular reason you're using Trusty? There are 2 newer LTS releases since then that may be more helpful. That being said, what's your question? | 23:58 |
| tomreyn | TBotNik: there's an alternative to pastebinit: pipe output to: nc termbin.com 9999 | 23:58 |
