[00:03] No. I've had this working on another computer using the same version of Ubuntu and the same WM [00:04] could it have to do with your graphics driver? [00:04] Intel i915 [00:05] are there any known issues with it? ...and it's only happening with the window containing the VM. All other windows are fine [00:05] I'm not sure whether the modesetting driver works with it [00:06] Will try with a seperate VM running [00:06] bg2032, Thanks, I think your command got it [00:07] If I'm installing a package A that also contain a package B, when I use --no-install-recommends will that work only on A or also the other included packages?

[00:47] kran: I [00:48] the only issue might be if your old mobo was not uefi and the new one is [00:48] kran: I've transplanted harddrives between many different systems and it always has just worked. As long as the install doesn't have too many kernel customizations it will work [00:48] but generally speaking the kernels installed are the same [00:48] they autoconfigure devices as needed and load whatever kernel modules are required for the current hardware [00:48] for uefi, need only disable that and go to legacy boot [00:49] OK, good. This is that problem I was talking about before. I tried a different GPU and it looks like whatever broke in the MOBO broke really bad because even when not using the integrated GPU it still crashes after a while. [00:50] pragmaticenigma matjam what about taking that SSD and plugging it into a dell laptop? My main concern is I don't want to screw up the installation. This is temporary. [00:50] nah should be fine mate [00:51] matjam OK thanks guys. [00:51] you might have to do some config to get the video working for X but thats reversable [00:51] it will most likely just boot straight into X fine.

[01:43] egc: I'm sure they have - what's your actual question, though? That will help someone help you more :) [01:44] SlidingHorn: Right - more specifically, I wonder which software they have used successfully. I would like to run tigervnc as the server on ubuntu, and realvnc as a client on mac os [01:45] and I've been playing with that, but haven't quite gotten it to work [01:47] i followed this tutorial for CentOS 7 once and it worked really well: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-configure-vnc-remote-access-for-the-gnome-desktop-on-centos-7 [01:48] and I'd like to do the same with Ubuntu instead of CentOS.

[07:57] PurrrfectKitty, linux supports right clicking [07:57] Godoshian: That is not my experience so far!! [08:00] the trick is supporting a complete, 100% lack of any and all bugs :P [08:03] Did you just suggest the linux is very buggy? [08:04] every os is [08:05] atleast every one within the last 20 years or so [08:11] PurrrfectKitty, Have you tried using the previous kernel (the one where your right-click was working) ? [08:12] Feels a little advanced for me [08:12] I am on the latest ubuntu LTS, stock [08:12] or try in a guest session? [08:13] I will try that [08:13] PurrrfectKitty, you could try holding the SHIFT key while booting, if you get the Brub menu, then you can selected 'Advanced' and choose the 2nd newest kernel [08:13] s/Brug/Grub (what the heck is Brub?!) [08:13] JimBuntu: That easy? Interesting. I'll try it [08:13] k [08:14] I get away with it because I don't do much on this machine.. Some browsing, plex, irssi [08:14] Well, if this solves it, then it IS most likely a bug. A quick bug report and I suspect the fix will be quick. [08:15] FWIW: This has been an ongoing thing, back and forth between working or not, for a few touchpads [08:15] It was fine on 16.04 :( [08:15] It was fine for a day or two on 18 as well, then it just stopped [08:15] PurrrfectKitty, yeah, with 18.04, I suspect your kernel was updated too... [08:16] Hi, I'm setting up a Win7/18.04 dual boot, so that's probably not UEFI. Is there a supported way to do that or should I use Wubi (which was the stack overflow answer)? [08:16] Oh. Hmmm. Could still be the kernel, may be something else if it was a sudden change from working to not-working though [08:16] I formatted entirely. I may not have a previous kernel?

The Americans are waking up! lol (take no offense) [08:21] JimBuntu: I'm having difficulty finding a description of legacy mode on Ubuntu sites. Is there a disk image, or do I invoke the install from the livecd differently?

[08:23] davidrsmorris: you boot the usb in legacy mode from the pc [08:23] you should get a menu instead of the black & white grub screen [08:25] JimBuntu: EriC^^ : I can start the LiveCD, the issue is that there isn't a GUI option to install a dual boot, even after I've used gparted to free 200gigs in the middle of the disk. [08:25] davidrsmorris: can you pastebin your 'sudo parted -ls' output? [08:26] davidrsmorris: does the partition table appear if you click on 'something else' in the installer? === user1_ is now known as smerdyakov [08:42] EriC^^: Yes, but I don't see a way to use the unallocated partition. Should I format it ext before invoking the installer? [08:47] Also, is there a political reason I'm unaware of that it's no longer easy to set up a dual boot on BIOS systems as a beginner? There used to be a "install side by side" option which would resize disks as default. [08:48] Is this the right place to discuss Slipknot's Iowa album? [08:49] political ??? [08:51] Hi!

[09:09] ikonia You mean time is not good way to measure the cpu time. [09:10] ikonia: I'm not sure how. I usually use Xubuntu. How can I know which command I should use?

[10:42] I see, might be btrfs related [10:42] yeah [10:42] looks like df says something but btrfs thinks the disk is full [10:42] ok [10:43] thanks btw [10:43] try the sudo dpkg --configure -a thing and see if it goes further [10:43] in dpkg --configure -a, I get tons of these: dpkg: error processing package libavahi-client3:i386 (--configure): [10:43] dependency problems - leaving unconfigured [10:44] I want to dual boot win7 and ubuntu...I plan to install embedded toolchain utilities in ubuntu (GCC/vim/make) and things like Eclipse ...How much space should I allocate to it [10:44] jatt: can I reboot (hopefully it will reboot) and do dpkg --configure -a again? [10:44] jatt: maybe that will fix the remaining issues with the aboev? [10:44] above* [10:45] residual errors: https://pastebin.com/YWbP50dh [10:46] not sure, but you can try, to me the filesystem looks hosed. have you always used btrfs on that machine? [10:46] jatt: just as of the past few years [10:47] jatt: btw now I am doing "sudo apt --fix-broken install [10:47] " [10:48] Roey, what version did you have? [10:48] 17.10 [11:05] Hello, I'm on Ubuntu 14.04. I'm diagnosing a certain situation with ssh and I'm unable to make the daemon to log anything anywhere. LogLevel is DEBUG3, SyslogFacility is AUTH, I can see in /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf that auth should go to /var/log/auth but there is nothing about ssh there. I did restart ssh and rsyslog services. In general, this is a stock Ubuntu system, I have never customized anything wrt logging / syslog. [11:06] Does someone perhaps have an idea how to deal with it? Thanks. [11:08] Hey folks [11:10] dsuch: maybe the ssh server your client is talking to isn't the one you've reconfigured? [11:11] i.e. a different sshd on the same system, or a different sshd on a different system [11:11] you can also run sshd in foreground and strace it. [11:11] tomreyn: It is the one, I already run ssh -vvv on client end, it is only about logging, the background is that I can connect for exactly 10 seconds and then the connection is dropped, I can repeat it alright each time. I want to check sshd debug logs and then send a ticket to networking people if it is they who drop the connections somehow or work on it on my end. [11:11] BluesKaj: oh hi! [11:11] lsof -i :22 to see incoming connections (if it's on port 22) [11:11] tomreyn: I understand all what you say but it is only about logging, really. [11:12] Hi Roey [11:12] jatt, lapaga: so I (begrugingly) liberated many gigabytes and re-ran all the commands [11:12] *begrudgingly [11:13] argh! I still get no space left on device! [11:14] Roey, df -H | pastebinit [11:14] dsuch: well then the only other explanation i can think of is a typo in sshd_config [11:15] (or a non ubuntu sshd) [11:15] tomreyn: A typo? [11:15] dsuch: you might have mistyped some instructions in /etc/ssh/sshd_config [11:15] tomreyn: I have not :) [11:16] tomreyn: It trully, really only is about logging, nothing else. [11:16] tomreyn: sshd is actually quite nice and refuses to start in case of such typos. [11:16] tomreyn: But I have an idea, I will run a separate sshd daemon on another port in foreground. [11:17] what's a good tool to decode hex tuplets into octets? like reverse hexdump. for small data I usually use printf and insert lots of \x, but now I'd need that as a stream like base64 --decode but for base16. [11:18] * Sven_vB reads about xxd [11:19] cfhowlett: I'd paste it but firefox isn't working because of the broken install. So I liberated (errg) yet more dozens of GBs [11:19] and re-ran dpkg --configure -a and apt --fix-broken install and apt-get dist-upgrade.. it's running now, let's see it finish successfully [11:19] Roey, then do df -H and see what partition is at 100% use. If it's boot *as I suspect) you need to clean kernels [11:20] Preparing to unpack .../06-libkf5grantleetheme-plugins_17.12.3-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb ... [11:20] dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting: [11:20] unable to install updated status of 'libkf5grantleetheme-plugins': No space left on device [11:20] cfhowlett: it's not that though [11:20] OK ,,, I tried [11:20] thanks :) :) [11:21] tomreyn: sshd -t -f /path/to/config will validate it (as an aside) [11:22] Hi, I have a broken symlink that I am struggling to fix/remove. It can't be chown'ed or chmoded. Trying to point it to a new directory with "ln -s latest new" doesnt work https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/JycBJC37ZQ/ [11:23] anyone else who needs base16 --decode: xxd -revert -plain [11:29] dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting: [11:29] unable to install updated status of 'gtk-update-icon-cache': No space left on device === mkv is now known as m4v [11:29] such BS! df -h says: /dev/sda1 879G 772G 107G 88% / [11:30] cfhowlett, jatt, lapaga, BluesKaj: ^ [11:30] Roey, separate / and /home partitions? [11:31] Roey, sudo apt clean && sudo apt autoclean && sudo apt purge if you haven't done so already [11:31] BluesKaj: btrfs [11:31] sudo apt purge: E: Problem renaming the file /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin.uDmlDu to /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin - rename (28: No space left on device) [11:31] Roey, sorry , no experience with those exotic FSs [11:32] BluesKaj: BTRFS swallows up all the different volumes into one filesystem [11:32] same same [11:33] cfhowlett: ok [11:33] thanks anyway :) [11:33] no matter Roey, dunno how to help, I'm an ext4 user [11:33] ok [11:33] the solution is move from a 1 TB device to a 2 TB device [11:33] Roey: http://marc.merlins.org/perso/btrfs/post_2014-05-04_Fixing-Btrfs-Filesystem-Full-Problems.html [11:33] or (wooo) *TWO* 2TB devicews [11:33] maybe that helps?
