[00:09] when I attempt to open some things, like mp3 or mp4 from nautilus, I'm unable to play them [00:09] but I can play them from terminal [00:09] and images open fine [00:09] any thoughts? === mast87 is now known as mast [00:20] Hey guys [00:20] I'm here because I keep having to disconnect and reconnect to my wifi for it to work, and I took a look at dmesg and it gave me these repetitive "failed to remove key from hardware" messages that I think are the underlying reason as to why I have to keep reconnecting [00:20] holy cow.... I have an ubuntu server and the /boot is full so it can't perform an upgrade. I delete all except the newest and current kernel/initramfs/config/etc files and when it goes to do upgrade it starts creating initramfs's for all the previous kernels all over again. I tried to apt-get purge the old kernels but it won't remove them because of unresolved dependacies with the new kernel...... [00:22] I've been fighting this for a little bit now, and I'm not a linux noob but I don't use ubuntu that much except on my server and I don't understand why it's creating initramfs's for kernels that aren't in use and aren't going to be used. Why can I not uninstall the old kernels? why do I have to resolve dependancies before unistalling something that is unneeded? [00:22] can I force it to uninstall/purge a package without resolving newer dependancies? [00:23] Webm s open fine [00:23] slackin: apt-get autoremove [00:23] slackin: As you are already dirty - this : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2174867 maybe the dirty fix . [00:23] slackin: should uninstall all the old kernel images [00:23] cluelessperson, LMFAO, THANK YOU! [00:25] cluelessperson, I've been trying to get this cleaned up for over an hour now. Can't believe it was that simple. [00:27] slackin: and, iirc, apt-get tells you this every time you use it [00:27] nacc, not that I saw of [00:28] it kept saying "apt-get -f install" [00:28] slackin: Well, you install things like, apt-get install [00:28] slackin: so, upgrades to your kernel install over the old one, basically, but it keeps the old ones installed [00:28] cluelessperson, yeah, I know, I tried clean, autoclean, purge [00:28] didn't even think about autoremove [00:28] slackin: clean removes cached packages that aren't installed [00:29] I'm an old slackware man turned in to a gentoo junkie, sometimes in ubuntu i get a little lost ;) [00:29] slackin: That's fine. :P [00:29] slackin: also, dpkg -l will list installed packages [00:29] cluelessperson, yeah, I knew that part at least, and I tried purging them by hand with the full package name but kept saying no because of dependancies [00:30] webm, mkv, images play fine [00:30] mp3, mp4 do not [00:31] cluelessperson: does not play on any player? [00:35] Two_Dogs: mp3s open with Rhythymbox but not VLC [00:36] vlc can open from terminal [00:37] cluelessperson: where did you get vlc from? [00:38] cluelessperson: the first player uses gstreamer, yeah? and vlc has its own codec [00:38] cluelessperson: do u have the restricted drivers for mp3 and also check see if vlc audio output is the same as rythmboxs [00:40] Two_Dogs: snap [00:40] yourname_: audio output is the same? [00:40] Two_Dogs: yourname_ it's not a codec issue, it's likely a nautilus, samba issue [00:41] maybe in how it seems the mounted CIFS folders [00:41] Two_Dogs: yourname_ For example. If I navigate from within VLC to /mnt/torrents/ the mounted directory appears blank === root is now known as Guest97407 [00:49] i'm trying to run a program from a different user [00:49] with gksudo [00:49] that's what I'm getting: (gksu:31722): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: localmachine:0.0 [00:49] Climber [00:49] does anybody know how to fix this? [00:51] cluelessperson: so its not a mp3 issue, yes? [00:51] Two_Dogs: no [00:51] LuMint, the error msg says gksu not gksudo [00:52] Two_Dogs: something about how different programs can read CIFS mounts or not [00:52] oh, right [00:52] it was gksu [00:52] in the past I could play vlc off CIFS stuff fine [00:52] so I don't know what this is [00:52] WoC: and whenever I do xhost + or xhost + localhost, i'm getting this "xhost: unable to open display "localmachine:0.0"" [00:52] LuMint, did you ssh to that ? [00:52] Two_Dogs: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'file:///mnt/archive/personal/hobbies/BITCOIN/ELECTRUM/MALWARE%20-%20ELECTRUMPRO/session_4/session_4_evidence.mkv'. [00:52] WoC: no [00:53] WoC: it all happens on my local machine. I just need to run an X program from a different user [00:53] cluelessperson: that a mp3? [00:53] and DISPLAY is showing 0.0 ? [00:54] Two_Dogs: no, that's an mkv [00:54] now I can't start any programs from the command line [00:54] not even from the current user [00:55] says "cannot open display: unset" [00:55] cluelessperson: i guess first you need to get the networking side of the equation figured out [00:55] LuMint, open new terminal === root_ is now known as Guest81240 [00:56] cluelessperson: how does vlc play network shares? copies the the to some temp folder or direct play? [00:56] WoC: thanks, it helped. [00:56] np [00:56] Having problems with a vid card mirroring video to TV through HDMI https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/KBWdjkxxrz/ [00:57] Two_Dogs: The network shares are mounted with CIFS, to VLC they "should" appear as normal local filesystem [00:58] albeit with a bit of network latency [00:59] cluelessperson: i am clueless to cifs/samba, test vlc with local file for codec issues [00:59] Having trouble formatting a usb drive [00:59] got the ubuntu budgie 18.04 livecd [00:59] RoadRunner, i would say most likely due to the AMD linux video driver [00:59] mkfs.ext4 just hangs forever on writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information [01:00] make your live iso with fat32, not ext4 [01:00] Two_Dogs: it's not a codec issue. I can copy the files locally and they play fine [01:00] RoadRunner, try #radeon [01:00] oerheks: i'm running from the livecd not trying to write it, my bad [01:01] oh oke [01:01] RoadRunner, check dmesg for any related err msgs [01:01] it's a USB3 256GB flash drive from PNY, just bought it [01:02] mkfs.ntfs takes seconds and it read/writes fine [01:02] pushed files to and from it, but just ext4 stops responding to ^C during that part [01:02] WoC: is #radeon dealing specificaly with the AMD linux video driver? [01:03] RoadRunner, anything related to radeon, so yes [01:04] WoC: where in the system would I find "dmesg"? [01:04] cluelessperson: theres a thought, tried #samba for assist? [01:04] RoadRunner, type dmesg in a terminal [01:04] seems like a samba issue [01:11] I blocked ICMP requests following some stupid guides, now I have reenabled it in iptables [01:11] but ping is not working [01:11] Two_Dogs: I mounted my repo (sudo mount //server/repo /media) then use VLC to Open File /media, found a movie and play [01:11] how do I fix that/ [01:11] ? [01:14] WoC: are the messages in this buffer reset at each boot? and what type of message to look for? [01:15] LuMint: the --icmp-type should be 8 [01:17] LuMint: what guides, if they did things correctly should be fairly straight forward to reverse [01:17] yeah, got it. [01:17] pretty sure this is a problem with mkfs.ext4 now [01:18] during the wipe it's pushing 100MB/s [01:18] once it goes into writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information it just stops === keep_away is now known as keep_learning [01:43] are error messages in dmesg highlighted in bold white? [01:43] RoadRunner, not necissarily [01:48] can't seem to send tos #radeon channel; does it need some kind of special subscription? [01:50] RoadRunner: You may need to register your nick for access to that channel [01:50] pragmaticenigma: wonder why they care about that? [01:51] reduce spam RoadRunner [01:51] ok [01:52] Still not sure what's going on with this flash drive [01:53] Tried on a windows machine too and it does ntfs fine [01:54] trying to format ext4 just doesn't work [01:54] did you partition it first? [01:54] not that you *have* to, but might help [01:54] start with a fresh table [01:54] fragtastic-temp: if you have a windows machine, why not follow the instructions for making a bootable drive on windows using rufus [01:54] ^^] [01:54] pragmaticenigma: i'm not trying to make a bootable drive [01:54] i'm trying to format it to ext4 [01:55] try ext2 [01:55] i'm running from a livecd [01:56] fragtastic-temp: I'd try ext2... also, I think the "disks" utility should be available in the livecd... that might be able to do it [01:57] tried disks too [01:57] is there a particular reason for using ext4? [01:58] fragtastic-temp, you sure you are using the correct device? [01:58] not really, just used to using ext4 and trying to figure out why it doesn't work [01:58] maybe you are trying to format the live cd? [01:58] slackin: yes, i'm sure i have my flash drive selected [01:58] just checkin' ;) [01:58] fragtastic-temp, does it give an error? [01:59] or just say ok and then not actually work [01:59] with ext4 no, it just says [01:59] "writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information:" [01:59] and then doesn't respond to ^C or kill -9 [01:59] how long do you wait? [01:59] 10 minutes [02:00] wait longer [02:00] possibly [02:00] depending on speed of drive [02:00] USB3 [02:00] could actually take longer [02:00] 100MB/s easy [02:00] guys, I am having a video related problem https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/KBWdjkxxrz/ . As I am no expert, could you look through my dmesg log https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/cryZ783Nys/ to see any related errors? [02:00] is it preforming at usb3 speeds in linux though? [02:00] yes, when i format to NTFS which takes 5 seconds [02:01] fragtastic-temp, o, you are formatting ntfs in linux? [02:01] i'm trying to do ext4 [02:01] i tested ntfs to make sure it actually works [02:01] fragtastic-temp, you tested ntfs in linux though, not windows? [02:01] i tested on a windows machine too [02:02] ~100MB/s [02:02] writing, reading was faster [02:02] have you tried ext2 or 3? [02:02] ext2 has been running since pragmaticenigma suggested it [02:02] RoadRunner: The PSU could be very much failing, and the card doesn't have enough power to drive both display outputs. TVs are also notoriously fussy about the image they're given. It's possible the TV doesn't like the signal from the GPU [02:03] Writing inode tables: 495/1845 [02:03] has it gotten that far before fragtastic-temp ? [02:03] fragtastic-temp, and its contining to update? [02:03] i haven't tried ext2 before [02:03] ext4 just stopped displaying and responding after "writing superblocks" === root is now known as Guest55450 [02:04] fragtastic-temp: it is possible that the drive hardware isn't compatible with something involved with ext4... ext4 is really meant for an internal type drive, not removable media. [02:05] ext2 so far was fast up until inode table # 430 now it's painfully slow [02:05] pragmaticenigma: just bought that gpu, so its important for me to rule it out as a cause quickly (while I can still return it...) [02:05] pragmaticenigma: any suggestion on what i should format it to? [02:05] If it makes a difference it's a 256GB pny usb3 flash drive, just bought it [02:06] RoadRunner: the PSU is what I'm concerned with... If you go for only display to the TV, no mirror and don't experience issues, it's something then with the configuration, not the card [02:06] fragtastic-temp: I leave all my portable drives in NTFS or exFAT... both are then readable by Linux and Windows machines, the latter can also be read by MacOS... giving you a better chance at data recovery down the road [02:07] pragmaticenigma: i kinda need linux uid:gid so NTFS and exFAT are out [02:07] since i'm trying to backup my laptop [02:07] which is formatted ext4 [02:08] fragtastic-temp: that's also a reason I don't format with linux based format... when I recover backups.. .I don't want the UID:GID kept as the next machine may not match and I'd have to chown them [02:09] pragmaticenigma: to do as you suggested, is it enough to just "disable" the comp monitor or disconnect it physically? [02:09] I'd disconnect physcally to rule it out [02:10] I'll try it, thanks :) [02:10] I've gotta sign off for the evening, take care everyone === arooni_team_b is now known as arooni [02:14] i'm fine with uid:gid because the first user usually has the same ID across fresh installs of ubuntu [02:16] mkfs.xfs took seconds and works [02:17] i guess i'll just assume that this drive doesn't like ext at all [02:17] successfully wrote 1GB of files to it in a few seconds too [02:19] Fn + Page Down works, Fn + Page Up doesn't - I'm on a laptop.

[02:34] jordan4ibanez: sudo apt install --reinstall libappstream3 then try again [02:35] remove appstreamcli, or install from backports, sudo apt install appstream/xenial-backports [02:37] SlidingHorn: Kubuntu 18.04 - I expect Page Up to, for example, move an object higher in Inkscape, or to scroll faster upwards. Instead, it behaves like a normal up arrow [02:39] SlidingHorn: on another laptop, I got this fixed by writing a custom hwdb file. I have to adapt it to this one. [02:40] SlidingHorn: yeah, I'll try that first. Sorry === root is now known as Guest13346 [03:08] My page up works now... fixed with a custom hwdb [03:13] hey [03:19] For a week I've noticed I'm getting consistently 40-60% of my normal download speed in 18.04. I'm getting normal speeds in Windows 7 and previously in 17.10 on the same machine [03:20] This is a very strange issue but I'm thinking it might have something to do with systemd-resolved? [03:20] How can I go about troubleshooting this issue? [03:32] Kon-: do via terminal> systemctl status *resolv* [03:32] Kon-: anything show? === matthiaskrgr is now known as Guest81958 [03:34] Two_Dogs: Yes, it's running [03:34] Kon-: did you change dns server? [03:35] Kon-: anything show? any complaints shown? [03:35] I think it's complaining that I'm using UDP for the local network [03:35] Other than that, nothing seems like a warning === root is now known as Guest97082 [03:36] Kon-: did you tweak resolv from the systemd default installed resolv setting/s? [03:37] resolv.conf? [03:37] Kon-: thats one, sure, any! tweaks? [03:37] I had previously installed dnscrypt-proxy and was trying to use that instead of systemd-resolved, but I gave up because the setup changed significantly in the new version and their tutorial was written for 17.10 [03:38] I've since purged dnscrypt-proxy after stopping the service, checked dnsmasq.d, restarted both systemd-resolved and network-manager [03:40] resolv.conf has the nameserver set to what I believe is default for systemd-resolved [03:40] I no longer even have /etc/dnsmasq.d after purging dnscrypt-proxy [03:40] Kon-: what dns server you have enabled? [03:41] 127.0.0.53 [03:41] Which appears to work [03:42] Kon-: there was a writeup recently about systemd-resolve, i have not delved into it [03:42] tbh I think it's harder to change DNS server on Ubuntu than any other distro. In this case, I've failed to do that and in fact gimped my internet speed somehow [03:43] Imo, this shouldn't even be possible [03:43] Kon-: via networkmanager config you can change dns server, yes? [03:44] Kon-: changing DNS server on ubuntu is the same way as any other distro. [03:45] Two_Dogs: I believe so, but I think it is also overwritten on boot by systemd-resolved [03:46] And re: networkmanager.conf, is it normal to have "managed=false" under [ifupdown]? [03:46] Kon-: this might help: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/128220/how-do-i-set-my-dns-when-resolv-conf-is-being-overwritten [03:46] SlidingHorn: At this point I've given in and accepted the systemd-resolved defaults, but I'm trying to understand why my internet speeds are consistently 50% of what they are in 17.10 or Windows 7 [03:47] Kon-: where does one make config changes to systemd-resolved? [03:47] Kon-: DNS is not going to affect sustained speeds. [03:47] Kon-: i would guess slow do to ultimate dns server choice [03:47] s/do/due [03:49] Kon-: done the simple tweaks? disable ipv6 if not used [03:49] SlidingHorn: Which software elements of network management may impact speed? I can dual boot to Windows 7 on this same machine right now and post 2x better speedtest results in a minute or two [03:49] ipv6 is disabled, I believe [03:49] Kon-: check [03:49] I forget where to go for that [03:49] I was messing with this last about 10 days ago [03:49] Kon-: in networkmanager config [03:49] Kon-: well, as an aside, speedtest is worthless - use something like testmy.net (they have full explanation as to why - won't get into it here)... [03:49] In that case no [03:50] SlidingHorn: I went there because I started noticing a much lower max speed in real world use [03:50] Kon-: disable ipv6, you behind your own router? [03:50] Kon-: ^^ [03:50] Two_Dogs: In that case, no, nothing in NetworkManager.conf about IPv6 [03:51] hi how can i found a spanish chat?

I think this would then be the Network Connections panel [03:52] Kon-: me too, plasma [03:52] I have IPv6 set to automatic, but I don't think it's used [03:53] Kon-: disable ipv6 [03:53] Kon-: just in case https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/366220/ubuntu-16-04-minimal-extremely-slow-internet-connection [03:53] (should also work for 18.04) [03:53] Two_Dogs: The closest option to Disable is Ignore [03:54] Kon-: networking needs a restart for the modification to take effect [03:54] Kon-: disable ipv6, yes, ignore [03:54] Kon-: on same gui where you found ipv6, there should be option to tweak dns [03:56] Two_Dogs: Yes, I have nothing special there [03:56] Kon-: 1.1.1.1 seems fast here, or 8.8.8.8, best choice is found from the output of the process 'namebench' [03:56] Two_Dogs: This GUI panel on its own does not affect a DNS change in 18.04 [03:56] Kon-: nothing means you are getting dns from router, my guess [03:57] * SlidingHorn cringes at google services, but that's OT.. !ot | slidinghorn [03:58] Heh, agreed [03:59] Kon-: did you check the 1st link I gave you regarding DNS? [03:59] About systemctl.conf? [03:59] dns best choice is found from the output of the process 'namebench' [04:00] Okay, I just updated the conf file [04:00] Kon-: that's the one [04:00] sysctl.conf, I should say [04:01] No change [04:01] Kon-: define 'no change' [04:01] and did you restart NetworkManager.service? [04:02] Just did [04:02] Speeds remain about 60% of what they should be [04:03] I think the best course of action would be to get everything back to default: systemd-resolved, NetworkManager, dnsmasq, the GUI settings [04:04] Not sure the best way to do that === vemacs|ded is now known as vemacs === vemacs is now known as Guest10301 [04:07] Interestingly, testmy.net gives much worse results than any other speed test site I've tried [04:08] Kon-: It probably will...but it's *accurate* speed...speedtest/ookla, etc are geared to be in your ISPs favor, which is why they send you theere [04:10] So, what's the easiest way to blow all this up and go back to defaults? [04:11] Again, I'm 100% sure this is a software issue [04:13] If I delete conf files and restart the relevant services, should they repopulate? [04:13] Or is that not always the case? [04:21] Kon-, you use wifi or wired connection [04:22] Wired [04:24] Okay, I just renamed all network-related conf files in /run/systemd, /run/NetworkManager, /etc/systemd, and /etc/NetworkManager to .conf-old [04:24] I'm hoping this will repopulate everything on reboot [04:24] If not, guess I might be delayed a minute or two [04:24] Kon-: wow somebody who understands debugging ;p [04:24] I've done enough of it, I'd sure hope I got the basics by now [04:29] Interesting results [04:30] All conf-old files in /run/ were deleted and the conf files repopulated on reboot [04:30] All conf-old files in /etc/ remain AND no new conf files were created [04:30] Did not expect that [04:30] /run is tmpfs [04:32] And it didn't fix my problem [04:32] Just to make sure it's not a problem with an 18.04 default, I'm going to try with the Live USB [04:37] Speeds are great on the Live CD === root is now known as Guest49208 [04:38] GUI network settings are identical [04:43] all the conf files seem to be the same on the Live CD as they are on the installation [04:43] Brings me back to square one [04:44] unless there's a relevant file or service I missed === shawn is now known as Guest14509 [05:18] Who likes Durians?

For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process. [05:44] bipul, that depends on which package you want.

[06:11] Two_Dogs: I do that when I need debugging/profiling, then after a restart I have to do it again [06:14] osa1: i would look then at adding the line minus 'sudo' in txt file /etc/rc.local , if file exists and to end if it does not create the file, see if that works [06:15] I don't have a /etc/rc.local [06:15] osa1: create it [06:15] osa1: put the parameter in sysctl.conf [06:16] I think I had tried sysctl.conf thing but let me try again [06:16] that is the correct way to set the kernel parameter [06:17] osa1: show me the actual line you've put in sysctl.conf [06:17] (or one of the include fileS) [06:18] ikonia: kernel.perf_event_paranoid=1 <- I think this is what I had tried [06:18] I'll try again now although I can't restart now just to try, I'm in the middle of something [06:19] ikonia: does that look correct to you?

Lightworks and Flowblade are both alleged to be decent. [08:00] Hello. I have a problem, that xrandr shows HDMI-1 as disconnected. I already disabled the nvidia driver because I tried everything I could find for that. So I am on X-Server now and dunno how to continue. [08:01] LeMike_: start from the beginning mate, whats not working exactly? [08:02] win 417 [08:02] SwedeMike: can we help you? [08:02] lotuspsychje: unfortunately not, it seems I still at old age can't learn to not typo. [08:04] !details | LeMike_ ubuntu version, graphics card chipset, driver version, how many screens?(connected how?) [08:04] LeMike_ ubuntu version, graphics card chipset, driver version, how many screens?(connected how?): Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information; for example, we might need errors, steps, relevant configuration files, Ubuntu version, and hardware information. Use a !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel. [08:06] lotuspsychje: I turn on my laptop (Xubuntu 17.10) and nothing appeared on the second screen. I checked the display settings and only one display was shown (the lid, eDP-1). So I continued with xrandr and it showed that HDMI-1 is not connected. So I tried a different cable and right now I try another monitor. I also disabled the nvidia driver (got nvidia graphics and some intel thing as hardware) and used [08:06] the X.Org. After a reboot the situation didnt change. [08:07] Hi! After upgrading to Ubuntu 18.04, I am getting power notifications on the lockscreen waking up the display. Does anyone know how to disable them? [08:07] I never touched a config file and only use what Xubuntu gives me via GUI. I get only on the shell for debugging so "nothing special" done ever since. [08:09] LeMike_: check sudo lshw -C video to see your exact chipset and drivers loaded, you have a hybrid nvidia/intel card i presume? [08:10] maz3max: take a look into dconf-editor mate, there are some energy settings in there worth taking a look on [08:11] lotuspsychje: thanks. got it here: https://pastebin.com/LeC1f8z8 [08:12] LeMike_: ok your nvidia card show unclaimed, so i think to have best hybrid experience is to install the nvidia- driver version [08:12] LeMike_: you can check whats available for your card with: ubuntu-drivers list [08:14] +1 for ubuntu-drivers list and then ubuntu-drivers install [08:15] lotuspsychje: I disabled in the "app & update" -> "additional drivers" on purpose trying to fix the problem with that. I switch back to nvidia, let me reboot real quick. [08:15] lotuspsychje: Thanks for the tip! Unfortunately I didn't find the correct setting when searching for 'power' [08:17] maz3max: check org/gnome/desktop/screensaver [08:20] lotuspsychje: now the "unclaimed" is gone [08:21] LeMike_: good, hybrid cards need nvidia-prime to set to powersave or performance mode [08:21] LeMike_: can you tell wich driver version is active now? [08:22] lotuspsychje: GUI shows 384.111 [08:22] LeMike_: ok great, now how many screens do you have and how are they connected? dvi? hdmi? [08:23] 1 in the lid (laptop) via eDP-1 connected, 1 external via HDMI-1 shown as disconnected but physically connected [08:24] lotuspsychje: sorry, forgot the nick in front. [08:24] LeMike_: try xrandr --auto or install arandr to GUI [08:26] lotuspsychje: xrandr output still says "disconnected" after --auto, got arandr installed [08:26] LeMike_: do you have an F5 screen switch button on your laptop? [08:26] LeMike_: Fn+ F5 that is [08:26] is there a way where I can see if things like bluetooth, WLAN or other ports are disabled ? [08:27] yes. and xubuntu does not now how to deal with that. [08:27] lotuspsychje: wait... let me check the grub config [08:29] <[twisti]> im trying to set up passwordless ssh access, but when i try to connect, i get these responses: https://pastebin.com/Kc8SbAz5 [08:29] <[twisti]> then it asks me to type in my password [08:30] <[twisti]> the pub key for that key is in the servers ~/.ssh/authorized_hosts file [08:30] lotuspsychje: so grub got no "acpi_osi=" in it. I may try that and reboot later on. But still I wonder what commands show me the state of my bluetooth, etc which can be turned of via Fn+ keys [08:32] LeMike_: im bbl, re-ask in channel once in a while ok [08:32] hi I'm trying to create a macOS image from iso but its not bootable after a complete dd imaging to /dev/sdb [08:33] should I make a hfs slice and image it to sdb1 or something ? [08:35] [twisti], "we did not send a packet, disable method" odd [08:36] LeMike_: for wifi and bluetooth - 'rfkill' [08:37] [twisti], to be sure, is this openssh server from the stock repos? [08:38] ducasse: thanks. now I am unsecure about the display switch on the keyboard. damn thing. yesterday it worked and I changed nothing. [08:39] how do I make a macos pendrive image on ubuntu [08:39] unetbootin is not working and gparted is dysfunctional [08:40] dd is weird [08:40]
