| realies | installing amdgpu-pro-17.40-492261 with ./amdgpu-pro-install --compute | 01:28 |
| RoadRunner | under 18.04 for general use... | 01:29 |
| Two_Dogs | RoadRunner: kinda yes, btrfs does snapshots of system so one could revert to the last good snapshot of system if something went really bad | 01:30 |
| realies | https://dpaste.de/DbG4/raw | 01:31 |
| RoadRunner | Two_Dogs: is it stable enough for "production" or still kinda experimental as compared to ext4? | 01:31 |
| realies | Two_Dogs and the /var/crash/amdgpu-pro-dkms.0.crash file contains http://ix.io/1b1J | 01:32 |
| Two_Dogs | RoadRunner: i would call it stable | 01:32 |
| RoadRunner | Two_Dogs: yet, ubuntu still doesn't use it for a default install right? | 01:32 |
| Two_Dogs | RoadRunner: interesting | 01:33 |
| syborg | So I am running Ubuntu server edition as a desktop right now, any know of some configuration files I should tweak? I asked this yesterday but the channel wasn't super active | 01:34 |
| syborg | 18.04 | 01:34 |
| realies | and /var/lib/dkms/amdgpu/17.40-492261/build/make.log is http://ix.io/1b1K | 01:34 |
| Two_Dogs | realies: yeap, your driver failed to build, look at the last line of log, i would share the log with what ever channel is amdgpu help channel | 01:35 |
| realies | Two_Dogs they're pretty dead on irc | 01:36 |
| guiverc | syborg, tweak for what? | 01:37 |
| syborg | just in general for desktop use guiverc | 01:37 |
| syborg | I'm not under the impression that there is anything I need to change, but couldn't hurt to ask. | 01:37 |
| guiverc | syborg, without any specific purpose in mind - i'm not aware of any | 01:39 |
| syborg | Fair. I went this route because kubuntu didn't want to boot, but server edition installed fine and installing kde did also | 01:39 |
| RoadRunner | Two_Dogs: also, since 18.04 uses a swap file instead of partition, I guess, that makes default use of btrfs a problem; so for now, if one goes with btrfs - they must pretty much go for a swap partition, am I right? | 01:39 |
| syborg | have to say it's pretty slick | 01:39 |
| realies | how can i revert back to 4.13.0-28? | 01:40 |
| Two_Dogs | RoadRunner: i did know btrfs depended on a swap partition, although when i last plinked with btrfs i had a swap partition, i am gonna have to google that one | 01:41 |
| Bashing-om | realies: is the kernel still installed ' dpkg -l | grep kinux- ' ? | 01:41 |
| realies | running 4.13.0-41 right now | 01:41 |
| Bashing-om | linux-** | 01:41 |
| realies | it is | 01:41 |
| realies | http://ix.io/1b1L | 01:42 |
| Two_Dogs | RoadRunner: btrfs does not play well with swap files according to the btfrs wiki | 01:46 |
| longus_catus | A network interface with ipv6 using automatic-dhcp for ipv6 address assignment results in a default route as shown with ip -6 route. Setting the interface up with /etc/network/interfaces as inet6 dhcp results in an ipv6 ip address, but no default router. How do I make it work less bad? | 01:47 |
| realies | it seems i need to install 4.13.0-28 back as i purged it | 01:48 |
| realies | apt-get doesn't find it | 01:48 |
| RoadRunner | Two_Dogs: then it all boils down to whether btrfs is production ready; DragonFlyBSD for some time now have been implementing a snapshot fs called Hammer but they still keep "improving" it, so I don't know how "ready" is ready? | 01:49 |
| longus_catus | Ooops, it works with Network-Manager as "Automatic-DHCP" but I can't figure out how to make the dhclient version work "properly"..... clearly this router and neighbor discovery isn't good enough to say "Hey, I found a default router, let me put that in my routing table" | 01:50 |
| Two_Dogs | RoadRunner: yeap, ubuntu is not ready for btrfs | 01:51 |
| Two_Dogs | realies: you installed 'dkms' yes? | 01:52 |
| realies | Two_Dogs i do have it, yes | 01:52 |
| Two_Dogs | realies: ok | 01:52 |
| longus_catus | I just finished an arduous discovery of the internals of btrfs and finding some old root to rescue my files from.....which is actually what helped me get in this prediacment | 01:52 |
| RoadRunner | regarding swap file vs partition, contiguous sector use should still give the partition solution a performance advantage, yet file is now the default; is it because ubuntu targets an average (windows level) user for whom simplicity is more important - or am I missing something? | 01:55 |
| realies | Two_Dogs, how do i find 4.13.0-28 again? | 01:56 |
| syborg | RoadRunner, another advantage is better security if you encrypt your root partition | 01:56 |
| Two_Dogs | realies: what is it? | 01:56 |
| realies | kernel | 01:57 |
| realies | i need to revert to it so amdgpu-pro can build ok | 01:57 |
| RoadRunner | syborg: I think I read somewhere that if you encrypt the drive the swap partition will be as well? | 01:58 |
| Two_Dogs | realies: via synaptic search 4.13.0-28 | 01:58 |
| realies | i dont hava gui | 01:58 |
| syborg | RoadRunner, if so that is news to me. Sounds cool if that is the case. | 01:58 |
| Two_Dogs | oh | 01:58 |
| Two_Dogs | realies: copy/paste & execute via terminal> aptitude search 4.13.0-28 | nc termbin.com 9999 ## share link output here | 01:59 |
| syborg | RoadRunner, probably it puts a swap partition in encrypted LVM? | 02:00 |
| rud0lf | when i set in repositories setup "Source Code" enabled, it's just gonna make "apt source" available? no other operations such regular "apt install" will download the source? | 02:02 |
| RoadRunner | fsyborg: read so much today on this, my head is spinning... couldn't tell you where I got this from but I don't think it was due to LVM. For an average user, not involved in, say, cutting edge software dev. is encryption really needed ? | 02:02 |
| Two_Dogs | realies: i assume you are using the generic linux image | 02:02 |
| syborg | RoadRunner, I'd say it is nice to have. "Needed" is relative. | 02:03 |
| syborg | If you have any confidential files it is a really good idea | 02:03 |
| syborg | IMO at least | 02:03 |
| RoadRunner | syborg: in that case it would be encryption of /home rather than / partition right? | 02:04 |
| syborg | RoadRunner, if you want to protect the files on your home partition, yeah. Assuming you have a separate home partition | 02:04 |
| mattfly | hi | 02:05 |
| oerheks | encrypted swap is fun with hybernate/sleep | 02:05 |

| mattfly | this is ubuntu bionic | 02:06 |
| RoadRunner | oerheks: "fun" as in good luck with it :)? | 02:06 |
| mattfly | is there a way to use kxstudio repo instead of the default ardour and jack packages of ubuntu? | 02:06 |
| oerheks | no way to check the key | 02:06 |
| RoadRunner | syborg: I am just saying if /home is sep than, whatever is on / should be just standard system stuff of no interest to anyone | 02:07 |
| mattfly | because i had problems with the default ones trying to use jack and wanted to try the packages from kxstudio | 02:07 |
| longus_catus | Logs are on /var, which is on /. | 02:07 |

| mattfly | not if you are trying to use jack | 02:08 |
| mattfly | i get the error unable to load envoriment if i use it | 02:09 |
| RoadRunner | would encrypting / make the system more hack resistant? | 02:09 |
| mattfly | should i report the bug? .... | 02:09 |
| syborg | yes | 02:09 |
| oerheks | kxstudio repo is unsupported here, mattfly, so we don't do anything about a bug | 02:09 |
| syborg | it would make it more resistant to local attacks RoadRunner | 02:09 |
| mattfly | im talking about the link you just sent me | 02:10 |
| syborg | but the bootloader could still be compromised | 02:10 |
| mattfly | thats on official ubuntu repos | 02:10 |
| mattfly | and this is the reason why im trying the ones from kxstudio | 02:10 |
| oerheks | oh,.. you stated: > Im trying to install ardour from kxstudio repositories .. so what are you doing? | 02:10 |
| mattfly | i already tested the default ones | 02:11 |
| mattfly | result: did not work | 02:11 |
| RoadRunner | syborg: when you say local I assume from within LAN but does nothing to improve security from WAN? | 02:11 |
| oerheks | ardour and ubuntu-studio should work fine | 02:11 |
| mattfly | now trying alterntives | 02:11 |
| syborg | No RoadRunner, I actually mean physical access | 02:11 |
| aloo_shu | mattfly the kxstudio homepage has deb packages that you can download and install, they will add the kxstudio repos. check kxstudio page to see which ones you need (I e gcc5 .) | 02:11 |
| mattfly | jackd doesnt work on it | 02:11 |
| syborg | it doesn't make a difference over LAN or even WAN | 02:11 |
| syborg | an encrypted disk helps you because if I stole your computer I couldn't read the files. If it is unencrypted I can access them. | 02:12 |
| mattfly | exactly aloo_shu, but after doing it happened a mess | 02:12 |
| aloo_shu | mattfly after that, you should update the pkg lists, then kxstudio pkgs will take precedence over ubuntu pkgs, and you'll move in kxstudio's own depency world | 02:12 |
| mattfly | https://pastebin.com/yxcJjtAA | 02:12 |
| RoadRunner | syborg: with physical access, how much more can it achieve compared to just a secured login? | 02:12 |
| mattfly | ubuntu doesnt know where to fetch the packages from | 02:13 |
| mattfly | how to do that | 02:13 |
| syborg | RoadRunner, the secured login is basically irrelevant to someone with physical access. It prevents your OS from letting someone in, but if you boot to a different OS (like a live ubuntu) all the files are sitting there unprotected | 02:13 |
| aloo_shu | mattfly: ubuntu will say if kxstudio makes a mess, it's not their responsability. kxstudio is nearly a 1 man project, and since a few months, this 1 man has a full time job.. | 02:13 |
| aloo_shu | mattfly: let me look | 02:14 |
| mattfly | "update the pkg lists" == apt update ??? | 02:14 |
| aloo_shu | I think so, mattfly | 02:15 |
| RoadRunner | syborg: got it; but for those without anything obvious to hide, it probably creates yet another level of logins which are already likely driving an average user bonkers | 02:16 |
| aloo_shu | I usually use synaptic gui, which has been taken out of ubuntu iso but is available on repo, apt-get install synaptic. (apt install synaptic should also work), mattfly | 02:16 |
| oerheks | mattfly, disable that funny repo.. | 02:16 |
| syborg | RoadRunner, what I like to do is encrypt my system, but then have it log my user in without a password. So I still only have to enter one. But yes, there is no avoiding the fact that it adds a layer of complexity. | 02:16 |
| mattfly | should i disable it? Oo | 02:17 |
| mattfly | apt upgrade is upgrading a lot now... | 02:17 |
| syborg | RoadRunner, everyone has something to hide. Identity theft is not a good thing. | 02:17 |
| mattfly | and using the kxstudio | 02:17 |
| mattfly | i just dont know if i will be able to install jack now | 02:17 |
| syborg | That is the minimum risk if someone accesses your personal files. | 02:17 |
| oerheks | i was going to tell you about jack and kernel, goodluck | 02:18 |
| mattfly | tell me? | 02:18 |
| mattfly | jack doesnt like generic kernels? | 02:19 |
| mattfly | i need to have ubuntu studio for this seriously | 02:19 |
| aloo_shu | oerheks: kxstudio is a little more than a 'funny repo' - it has enabled ubuntu users to get working audio production environments for years - which doesn't mean it cannot cause problems | 02:19 |
| RoadRunner | syborg: agreed, but in the scenario you are describing, someone will need to physically bread into my home to access my comp; in that case I'd have bigger issues to worry about :) | 02:19 |
| RoadRunner | *break | 02:20 |
| syborg | Indeed you do! But always better to fix the issues you can :) | 02:20 |
| syborg | or prevent | 02:20 |
| syborg | especially if you live around criminals who can break into your house with only a loaf of bread! | 02:21 |
| RoadRunner | is it easy to encrypt a partition like /home if originaly unecrypted? | 02:21 |
| aloo_shu | mattfly: jack per se doesn't like or dislike generic kernels, but in order to make the audio latency small and handle the audio card's irq's swiftly, it is recommended to use real time kernels or low latency (ubuntu's way) kernels. you don't need ubuntustudio to get the ubuntu low latency kernel | 02:21 |
| mattfly | okay but doesnt mean it should not work on normak kernels? | 02:22 |
| aloo_shu | mattfly: and if you would read up about linux audio and kxstudio, you'd know that | 02:22 |
| syborg | Not really, I'm pretty sure you would need to copy the old files, make an encrypted partition, then mount your current install from a live USB, chroot into it, update fstab and crypttab, reinstall grub and run mkinit-cpio (I think that's the command) | 02:22 |
| syborg | or update-grub at least | 02:23 |
| oerheks | audio-core https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntustudio-meta | 02:23 |
| realies | Two_Dogs, no output for aptitude search 4.13.0-28 | 02:23 |
| realies | and yes, generic kernel | 02:24 |
| syborg | RoadRunner, there might be tools that make it easier, maybe? I have never tried. | 02:24 |
| syborg | *mkinitramfs, that is the command I meant | 02:25 |
| syborg | also you would need two passwords in this case to be secure, since my approach with one password assumes encrypted root | 02:25 |
| aloo_shu | mattfly: jack works with normal kernels, but afaik and iirc , the jack pkgs from the kxstudio repo do force some irq handling stuff that will only work on low latency/rt kernels with threadirqs | 02:25 |
| mattfly | aw no :( | 02:26 |
| oerheks | jups, else you are limited to 2 channels iirc | 02:26 |
| RoadRunner | syborg: so if home is encrypted, do you have to do a 2nd login every time you access anything on it with any app? | 02:26 |
| syborg | nope, just on login | 02:26 |
| syborg | *boot up | 02:26 |
| aloo_shu | nothing to do with channels. oerheks mattfly | 02:26 |
| mattfly | the normal packages werent already working so the chances of that are even lower.... i saw on ardour forum using kxstudio was recommended for the problem i had after googling for it.... | 02:27 |
| syborg | if you have encrypted root as well then the one password to decrypt is fine | 02:27 |
| mattfly | well ardour is almost finished installing, lets hope.... | 02:27 |
| aloo_shu | just will have to use very generous tencies and large buffers not to have buffer overruns (xruns) | 02:27 |
| i_heart_penguins | anyone know how to bookmark a device in nautilus? | 02:27 |
| mattfly | Aw by the way does anyone here uses nvidia 390 driver on a laptop/notebook ? | 02:28 |
| wuzamarine | my gnome-terminal won't open in the gui (no error in logs) and using the command line I get https://bpaste.net/show/906f24e33757 | 02:28 |
| RoadRunner | syborg: so to be clear, if all is on one partition- /, then just one login in the beginning, but if only /home is encrypted then have to login when accessing home at any point after boot? | 02:29 |
| oerheks | gnome-terminal won't open from gnome-terminal ? | 02:29 |
| mattfly | i have exactly the same problem with ardour again from the kxstudio.... "unable to load envoriment" | 02:29 |
| oerheks | oh boy | 02:29 |
| i_heart_penguins | wuzamarine: you tried a reinstall? sudo apt install gnome-terminal? | 02:29 |
| aloo_shu | mattfly , your output said you have broken dependencies - you'd best locate these and deal with them. again, my tool to not have to do it all with command line fu, would be synaptic - apt-get install synaptic , then run synaptic from the menu, it should have an entry now | 02:29 |
| i_heart_penguins | wuzamarine: nm, i just realized the irony of that | 02:30 |
| syborg | No no RoadRunner, you only have to decrypt the partitions once, on boot. That is the only time in general that you would need to enter two passwords. | 02:30 |
| wuzamarine | i_heart_penguins: yes. and I have a couple of other programs doing the same. like print manager won't open | 02:30 |
| i_heart_penguins | download another terminal to install gnome-terminal or use ubuntu's gui software installer | 02:30 |
| syborg | After that, the decrypted devices act like normal unencrypted devices until you unmount them | 02:30 |
| aloo_shu | mattfly: do you have much data or things of importance on your install? | 02:30 |
| mattfly | aloo_shu broken packages were solved after apt update; apt upgrade | 02:30 |
| aloo_shu | ah | 02:31 |
| wuzamarine | i_heart_penguins: it doesn't help my print manager, or other apps doing the same. | 02:31 |
| realies | how do i revert back to 4.13.0-28?? | 02:31 |
| RoadRunner | syborg: so no time limit with access to encrypted partitions like with sudo? | 02:31 |
| wuzamarine | gnome-terminal was just a first pick | 02:31 |
| doug16k | graphitemaster, hey I just noticed something interesting in vmlaunch instruction docs: ELSIF events are being blocked by MOV SS then VMfailValid(VM entry with events blocked by MOV SS); | 02:32 |
| syborg | Nope RoadRunner, after you decrypt the device there is no time limit. | 02:32 |
| doug16k | oops wrong room | 02:32 |
| mattfly | well having this software isnt the most important thing to me so i would rather no reinstall ubuntu, but i could install another in dual boot for sake of testing and bug hunting aloo_shu | 02:32 |
| mattfly | if thats what you mean | 02:32 |
| RoadRunner | syborg: does it take a long time to decrypt, say 20GB? | 02:32 |
| syborg | Not at all RoadRunner, the overhead is not noticeable on modern hardware. | 02:33 |
| RoadRunner | syborg: my boxes are core 2 duo's (ie: not so modern...) | 02:33 |
| syborg | RoadRunner, I'm sure it would be fine | 02:33 |
| realies | i have purged the 4.13.0-28 kernel but need to get back on it, how can i do so? | 02:34 |
| syborg | it doesn't decrypt every file on the disk, it decrypts the encryption key with your password and then decrypts/encrypts on the fly from then on | 02:34 |
| aloo_shu | mattfly: yes, that was what I meant. Candidates could be ubuntustudio, kxstudio as a distro, not a repo, or avlinux | 02:35 |
| syborg | basically you unlock the disk with your password, and then write and read to it a little slower than normal (because encryption/decryption has to take place) | 02:35 |
| syborg | So the size of the disk should not matter | 02:36 |
| mattfly | aw but id rather on have it on the same os..... man :/ | 02:36 |
| RoadRunner | ok; got another question: any advantage to install Ubuntu on a GPT disk? | 02:36 |
| syborg | GPT is more modern and doesn't limit the number of partitions or the size of disks you can use. If you want to dual boot with Windows you will need GPT/UEFI for 10, and I think 8. Maybe even 7. But MBR/BIOS is still functional | 02:37 |
| tsarompy | i dont have anything to add | 02:39 |
| tsarompy | i just wanna say that kubuntu gutsy gibbon was one of the greatest operating systems of all time | 02:40 |
| realies | Two_Dogs still around? | 02:40 |
| * tsarompy bows and walks away from keyboard | 02:40 | |
| RoadRunner | syborg: in my case, the drives are not over 2TB, and 4 partitions is enough; also, am wondering about the concept of "globally unique identifiers" sounds like an attempt by the "big brother" to look in... | 02:41 |
| syborg | lol I dunno about that RoadRunner, there are plenty of more effective ways to spy on you than the UUIDs of your partitions | 02:42 |
| syborg | UUIDs are actually quite useful | 02:42 |
| syborg | they are beneficial because you can refer to a device in fstab as UUID="whatever" instead of /dev/sd[x][n] (the second can change, the first never will) | 02:43 |
| syborg | for instance your MAC address is also meant to be unique, and it is more visible than your partition's UUIDs | 02:44 |
| syborg | and your browser can be fingerprinted by any website you visit, in addition to many other tracking techniques. | 02:45 |
| realies | aptitude is not finding 4.13.0-28, is there a place i can download that kernel from? | 02:46 |
| RoadRunner | syborg: do go on :) | 02:46 |
| syborg | heh | 02:46 |
| realies | http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ does not have 4.13 | 02:47 |
| syborg | well if you carry a cell phone it is basically a moot point, that thing *is* a tracking device | 02:47 |
| syborg | so no worries about big brother being able to track you :-) | 02:47 |
| oerheks | grinn .. https://www.zdnet.com/article/spectre-chip-security-vulnerability-strikes-again-patches-incoming/ | 02:47 |
| RoadRunner | syborg: no worries indeed - don't carry a cell phone :) | 02:47 |
| oerheks | don't leave stuff on your machine, and don' t use the internet | 02:48 |
| RoadRunner | oerheks: already started training pidgins :) :) | 02:48 |
| syborg | well I still think you are in no greater danger of tracking by using GPT/UEFI =P | 02:48 |
| realies | any ideas why aptitude finds 4.13.0-25 and 4.13.0-26 but not 4.13.0-27 and 4.13.0-28? | 02:50 |
| RoadRunner | seriously though, in my case, as I see it, the main advantage to me is the more robust booting method than the boot sector of an MBR; but that never failed me in over 2 decades of using HD's | 02:50 |
| syborg | Honestly, I am not aware of any compelling reason to switch for now in a case like yours. It might be less well supported than GPT in a decade or two. | 02:51 |
| addyt | t | 02:53 |
| RoadRunner | would gpt disk setup even work with older bioses like mine? | 02:53 |
| i_heart_penguins | anyone using polari irc client? it's not autoscrolling | 02:54 |
| syborg | I know it has some backwards compatibility. If you were curious, you could always try to create a GPT/UEFI install on a thumbdrive | 02:54 |
| RoadRunner | syborg: how would I go about that? | 02:56 |
| syborg | RoadRunner, you would just create a live ubuntu install on one USB stick, boot to it, then install to the thumbdrive from the installer (which may require you to partition manually). If you are worried about nuking your current install you could disconnect your hard drive from the motherboard before doing so. | 02:57 |
| syborg | to be clear, you would be installing to a second thumb drive. | 02:57 |
| syborg | I just did this the other day in fact, although I used a MSDOS/BIOS install for max compatibility | 02:58 |
| Bashing-om | RoadRunner: See what Rod Smith says: https://www.rodsbooks.com/gdisk/bios.html . | 02:59 |
| RoadRunner | Bashing-om: thank you, much material there - will take me a while to digest but in a nutshell: you don't need to change settings in your bios to boot into this new thing? | 03:02 |
| Bashing-om | RoadRunner: I too run old hardware, and in installing SSDs on this box I declined to try and see if this old bios of mine would support GPT. | 03:04 |
| RoadRunner | something to try in my spare time ;) | 03:06 |
| JoshDL | Hi there; I just did an upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04, and now nautilus can't open files normally; when I open a file in nautilus, it just opens the file's containing folder, every time. | 03:08 |
| JoshDL | (which means it essentially just refreshes the folder I'm in) | 03:08 |
| JoshDL | If I use "open with..." and choose an application, that works fine, but any other mechanism of opening the file (double click, return, right click | 03:09 |
| JoshDL | ...right click "open") just causes the file's containing folder to be opened, instead | 03:09 |
| syborg | JoshDL, have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling it? | 03:10 |
| JoshDL | yes, including with --purge, and also manually deleting its configuration data under .config and .local | 03:11 |
| syborg | hmm, annoying. Sounds like a bug to me. You could install another file browser for the short term | 03:11 |
| syborg | and maybe file a bug report? | 03:11 |
| RoadRunner | regarding the wisdom of having sepparate /boot or /sbin partitions for emergency recovery, what's the current thinking is it worth it? | 03:11 |
| Bashing-om | JoshDL: files requiring sudo to open ? try as ' nautilus admin:///your-file ' . | 03:12 |
| syborg | assuming nobody else has a solution anyway JoshDL. | 03:12 |
| ph88 | what happened to nautilus-actions from ubuntu 17.10 to 18.04 ? | 03:12 |
| JoshDL | I don't understand, Bashing; what does this have to do with root? | 03:13 |
| syborg | RoadRunner, no idea on that one | 03:13 |
| JoshDL | this affects files regardless of type--text files, video files, PDFs, you name it; the "open" action is just broken | 03:13 |
| Bashing-om | JoshDL: gksudo is no longer supported . pkexec is the new kid on the block . | 03:14 |
| JoshDL | I never use gksudo | 03:14 |
| gogeta | Bashing-om: i cant hear you. i cant hear you lalalala | 03:15 |
| gogeta | Bashing-om: lol always with the changes | 03:15 |
| RoadRunner | was told that if there is a filesystem problem with /, having a separate /boot will get me to fsck but got to know how to fix with fsck and | 03:23 |
| RoadRunner | having a sep /boot can overfill with old kernells and as this already happened to me, don't know which is more likely to screw me up in the future... | 03:23 |
| RoadRunner | 03:23 | |
| cfhowlett | RoadRunner, so delete the old kernels? on a regular basis. | 03:24 |
| syborg | The first thing you said sounds true, but you can do that from a live USB as well. And I can attest to the second | 03:24 |
| syborg | cfhowlett, do you know the rationale as to why they don't get automatically cleaned up? | 03:24 |
| Bashing-om | RoadRunner: consider, A separate /boot is something of an anachronism, dating back to limited PC BIOSes that could only handle small disks. | 03:24 |
| cfhowlett | syborg, system protection from over enthusiastic users IIRC | 03:25 |
| === gms is now known as Guest37582 | ||
| Two_Dogs | JoshDL: do you see anything related to nautilus in .xession-errors? | 03:25 |
| JoshDL | (nautilus:1906): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 21:31:07.268: g_object_ref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed | 03:26 |
| RoadRunner | so, I take it, the consensus today is against a sepparate /boot :) | 03:26 |
| JoshDL | nothing new is printed each time I attempt to open a file, though | 03:26 |
| syborg | I have a separate boot partition due to an encrypted root partition | 03:27 |
| cfhowlett | RoadRunner, separate /home makes perfect since. Sep /boot seems way to exotic IMHO. YMMV. | 03:27 |
| JoshDL | running nautilus from the terminal also reveals nothing | 03:28 |
| JoshDL | it seems to really just want to open the file's containing folder instead of opening the file | 03:28 |
| JoshDL | for instance, if I run a search and attempt to open a file, it will launch a new nautilus window containing the file | 03:28 |
| JoshDL | even when I click, eg, " | 03:29 |
| JoshDL | "open with image viewer" | 03:29 |
| JoshDL | aha! https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=874003 | 03:30 |

| RoadRunner | re: sepparate /sbin: "If any of your partitions or drives should fail, then this directory / partition will be the one that most likely contains the tools you will need to repair it " [source: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DiskSpace] | 03:31 |
| cfhowlett | since 2017? seems to be a low priority issue | 03:31 |
| JoshDL | yeah; not as if people use nautilus to browse their systems and open files | 03:33 |
| JoshDL | kind of like it'd be silly to know what files totem was playing; glad we got rid of the playlist widget | 03:33 |
| RoadRunner | so what's the feeling on /sbin? | 03:36 |
| RoadRunner | or again it is considered easier to repair from a live cd? | 03:36 |
| Two_Dogs | JoshDL: can you use the fix shown? | 03:37 |
| JoshDL | anyway, as mentioned in that bug, the fix is to remove/rename .config/xfce4/helpers.rc | 03:37 |
| cfhowlett | JoshDL, wait what? are you on ubuntu/xubuntu? | 03:37 |
| Two_Dogs | or debian? | 03:37 |
| JoshDL | Xubuntu | 03:37 |
| cfhowlett | little details >>> huge difference. | 03:38 |
| JoshDL | I suspect there are other XFCE artifacts to correct | 03:38 |
| cfhowlett | I don't have that file at all, probably since I use Thunar to browse | 03:39 |
| JoshDL | looks as though most preferences panels no longer work | 03:39 |
| Two_Dogs | realies: hey | 03:39 |
| cfhowlett | as you know, gnome is not as integrated as thunar and xfce apps are | 03:40 |
| JoshDL | seems all GNOME settings panels die because it Could not find settings panel "background" | 03:40 |
| JoshDL | I hacked this setup together for my mother a decade ago, and it seems maintaining it the way I had it has become harder :P | 03:41 |
| JoshDL | I just got done replacing her motherboard; overnight, she's gone from an AMD machine to an Intel machine | 03:42 |
| JoshDL | Windows doesn't boot, anymore, but Xubuntu worked fine and managed to upgrade itself from LTS to LTS | 03:42 |
| JoshDL | I hope she doesn't miss the gnome-control-center somehow :P | 03:43 |
| Two_Dogs | JoshDL: tried nemo? | 03:43 |
| swift110 | hey all | 03:45 |
| i_heart_penguins | how do i mount ntfs so i can "move to trash" instead of deleting permanently the files in it? i recall i could do this at one point | 03:45 |
| RoadRunner | cfhowlett: Bashing-om: do you feel a sepparate /sbin is again not worth it today? | 03:47 |
| cfhowlett | RoadRunner, never done, can't contribute a meaningful opinion. | 03:48 |
| cfhowlett | i_heart_penguins, manipulating Windows files from Linux often results in tears and anguish. | 03:49 |
| Bashing-om | RoadRunner: No gain in a seperate /sbin whatsoever ... and doing so is a waste of system resources ... just my opinion . | 03:49 |
| i_heart_penguins | cfhowlett: i realize, that's why i'm doing this temporarily | 03:49 |
| i_heart_penguins | at least until the ntfs driver gets more mature | 03:49 |
| mindloop | Hello, I was cleaning my cpu fan when a blade broke off and need to monitor the system temerature until I can replace the cooling system. I installed sensors, but that does not seem to be taking an accurate temperature reading | 03:50 |

| realies | what :) | 04:37 |
| realies | i am on 16.04 | 04:37 |
| cfhowlett | I stand corrected. Pardon my previous comment. | 04:37 |
| Two_Dogs | realies: share the dkms log created | 04:37 |
| realies | the stdout or a specific file? | 04:38 |
| Two_Dogs | realies: you dont see reference to ...dkms.log? | 04:39 |
| realies | no, https://dpaste.de/6sHK/raw | 04:39 |
| Two_Dogs | realies: dpkg logs to /var/log, share the tail at least | 04:43 |
| Two_Dogs | realies: and /var/log/apt/term.log | 04:43 |
| realies | https://dpaste.de/KD4n/raw | 04:44 |
| Two_Dogs | it dont like them two debs, how are those two special realies ? ppa repo ?? | 04:44 |
| realies | the are within the driver folder | 04:44 |
| realies | copied to /var/opt/amdgpu-pro-local after running the install script | 04:45 |
| Two_Dogs | realies: and /var/log/apt/term.log | 04:45 |
| realies | https://dpaste.de/F7jb/raw | 04:45 |
| realies | i like how informative that log is | 04:46 |
| realies | Two_Dogs, given up yet? | 04:50 |
| Two_Dogs | realies: now take all that informative stuff to #radeon so they can made sense of it | 04:50 |
| Two_Dogs | realies: the two packages needing to install dont, and i have no clue why, where they came from etc :) | 04:50 |
| realies | i wonder if it would result in the same if i reinstall ubuntu | 04:51 |
| Two_Dogs | realies: a clean install never hurts in doing test installs | 04:53 |
| Two_Dogs | clean system install i mean..... | 04:53 |
| realies | all the backing up, dragging peripherals and a monitor, restoring and reconfiguring is making me cringe | 04:54 |

| Two_Dogs | realies: i saw alot of ppa, how many of those ppa can be disabled out of the equation? | 04:55 |
| realies | all | 04:55 |
| Two_Dogs | realies: then add that, go ppa free | 04:55 |
| Two_Dogs | realies: those two debs that bork, where are they initially added to the mix? | 04:56 |
| Two_Dogs | where are they coming from? | 04:56 |
| realies | random crap | 04:57 |
| Two_Dogs | random? | 04:57 |
| Two_Dogs | they originate where? | 04:57 |
| realies | they were manually added | 04:57 |
| Two_Dogs | by you? | 04:58 |
| oerheks | amazing | 04:58 |
| Two_Dogs | indeed | 04:58 |
| realies | by me, yes | 04:58 |
| Two_Dogs | ahh | 04:58 |
| Two_Dogs | thnks for sharing :) | 04:58 |
| realies | you are always welcome | 04:59 |
| realies | amdgpu-pro-local.list is by the amd driver of course | 04:59 |
| realies | but you can say it's by me again | 04:59 |
| Two_Dogs | realies: perhaps amd mining is simpler on debian? | 04:59 |
| realies | who knows, went for ubuntu because of the "Radeon™ Software for Linux® version 18.10 for Ubuntu 16.04.4" statement | 05:00 |
| realies | first time using amd and the use-case is not that usual | 05:01 |
| === shawn is now known as Guest80967 | ||
| realies | what's your point about going to debian? | 05:01 |
| realies | s/amd/amd graphics | 05:01 |
| Two_Dogs | realies: the two debs are your personal injection into the install or were part of the install from radeon script? | 05:01 |
| realies | no personal interference with the original install script | 05:02 |
| realies | the debs are within the tar from amd | 05:02 |
| Two_Dogs | realies: i have not used debian, its suppose to be stable though | 05:03 |
| realies | ubuntu was stable too | 05:03 |
| realies | until i decided that it's a great idea to do a distro upgrade | 05:03 |
| Two_Dogs | realies: ok, so i would be asking #radeon/amd who ever is the guru channel why those two debs bork the install | 05:04 |
| realies | sure, i've asked there | 05:04 |
| Two_Dogs | realies: i would suffer thru a cherry install of the version called for by the readme | 05:05 |
| realies | uh? | 05:06 |
| Two_Dogs | realies: might as well cover all possible reasons for a bork, upgrades dont always go well down in the innards if i can be less than technical | 05:06 |
| realies | gotcha | 05:07 |
| Two_Dogs | realies: or use nvidia card :) | 05:07 |
| realies | i guess i gotta backup all the monitoring software i wrote, bioses, etc... | 05:08 |
| realies | went for amd as it seemed better for the purpose | 05:08 |
| adleff | just installed ubuntu 16.04 and have been having some issues with apt installing pretty out of date software. I'm pretty sure this is just because I don't know what I'm doing, what can I check or do going forward to make sure apt is pulling from reasonably up to date repositories | 05:08 |
| Two_Dogs | nvidia cuda is the thing for mining, no? | 05:08 |
| === Jochen_wvdT is now known as Schlawiner | ||
| cfhowlett | adleff, on a regular basis: sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade | 05:09 |
| realies | Two_Dogs, it seems that amd is doing better investment:return for ethash | 05:09 |
| adleff | cfhowlett, what does the latter part of that command do? | 05:09 |
| cfhowlett | and why do you think apt is pulling out of date stuff? what is your ubuntu version? | 05:09 |
| adleff | or the second command I should say | 05:09 |
| Two_Dogs | realies: ok | 05:09 |
| cfhowlett | adleff, update = fresh the libraries dist-upgrade = install latest software for this OS | 05:09 |
| adleff | cfhowlett, well it's pulling ansible 2.0.0.2 for example, which is far behind the newest release. I upgraded ansible using PyPI and it pulled it up to version 2.5.3 | 05:10 |
| realies | with some custom memory straps it does way better than nvidia alternatives in the same price range | 05:10 |
| cfhowlett | !latest | understood. see the factoid. | 05:10 |
| ubottu | understood. see the factoid.: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 05:10 |
| realies | Two_Dogs, thanks for the time though | 05:11 |
| Two_Dogs | realies: try using 'dpkg -i ' on those two debs all by them selves yet? | 05:11 |
| adleff | cfhowlett, thx for the suggestions | 05:11 |
| cfhowlett | bestofluck | 05:12 |
| adleff | cfhowlett, I thought maybe I had to manually add some repo sources that everyone but me already knows to add | 05:12 |
| realies | no, though there's no point | 05:12 |
| gogeta | realies: ? | 05:12 |
| Two_Dogs | realies: it would be interesting to see | 05:12 |
| cfhowlett | !info ansible | adleff seen this? | 05:13 |
| ubottu | adleff seen this?: ansible (source: ansible): Configuration management, deployment, and task execution system. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.5.1+dfsg-1 (bionic), package size 3121 kB, installed size 26263 kB | 05:13 |
| realies | https://dpaste.de/GVo3/raw | 05:13 |
| adleff | cfhowlett, I literally just took whatever 'apt-get install ansible' gave me | 05:13 |
| adleff | I basically need to learn what the eff I'm doing | 05:13 |
| realies | /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-radeon.conf dun exist, imma touch it | 05:14 |
| realies | same error | 05:14 |
| adleff | like I said though, at least for ansible I'm up to 2.5.3 courtesy of pypi | 05:14 |
| cfhowlett | shawheat! | 05:14 |

| adleff | but the version I was pulling was so far behind, I was like what the heck am I doing wrong here | 05:16 |
| realies | Two_Dogs http://termbin.com/8abo | 05:16 |

| adleff | cfhowlett, maybe I should have added this caveat/disclaimer before, but this is the ubuntu 16.04 that comes from the msft store to use with WSL | 05:18 |
| adleff | which if I believe what I'm told, should effectively be the same thing as having 16.04 | 05:18 |

| gogeta | adleff: im sure 10 will switch to 18.04 being its a lts | 05:19 |
| Two_Dogs | realies: what depends on rock-dkms? | 05:20 |
| adleff | it's actually kinda neat, i think msft is definitely going the right direction with wsl | 05:20 |
| adleff | it's way better than whatever cygwin is | 05:20 |
| gogeta | adleff: thats not relly true | 05:20 |

| realies | i can feel it | 05:21 |
| gogeta | adleff: cygwin could run a full system if configured correctly | 05:21 |
| adleff | gogeta, how well would it handle multiple distros being installed concurrently? | 05:21 |

| realies | is it gonna overbork? | 05:38 |
| Two_Dogs | reboot and expect to see amdgpu-pro via inxi -G | 05:38 |

| Two_Dogs | i cant tell from here | 05:39 |

| destinydriven | I have tried :w sudo tee % | 05:46 |
| realies | kind of strange that the driver installed and it's not showing up | 05:47 |
| realies | i'll try install the whole thing, not only the opencl bit | 05:47 |
| Two_Dogs | realies: the dkms driver is result of your script install | 05:47 |
| realies | i see | 05:47 |
| realies | hm | 05:47 |
| Two_Dogs | realies: so the install was just for the cuda like effect on amd? | 05:48 |
| realies | perhaps modprobe amdgpu | 05:48 |
| realies | sort of, yeah | 05:48 |
| Two_Dogs | realies: its loaded, amdgpu | 05:48 |
| realies | i mean check the driver location | 05:49 |
| realies | does it come from the kernel or elsewhere | 05:49 |
| Two_Dogs | realies: it shows in everything i can think of, from dkms to lsmod to inxi | 05:49 |
| realies | perhaps i meant modinfo | 05:50 |
| Two_Dogs | realies: for funzies you could dkms remove the module, the version is same as script, yes? | 05:50 |
| realies | filename: /lib/modules/4.13.0-43-generic/updates/dkms/amdgpu.ko, version: 18.10.4.13 | 05:51 |

| Two_Dogs | i meant virgin | 05:52 |
| Two_Dogs | dislexic | 05:52 |
| realies | still not getting you | 05:52 |

| Two_Dogs | /ignore joins | 06:29 |
| Norux | thanks ducasse | 06:31 |
| Norux | Okay so now I have the following problem: `ifconfig` shows the wireless interface `wlp2s0`. If I put `auto wlp2s0` in `/etc/network/interfaces`, then `systemctl status networking.service` tells me `unknown interface` | 06:47 |
| kristenbb | I'm trying to setup a swap on a server. I created a 2GB file with dd, and used swapon to use it. It works, as shown by 'free'. But how can I set it on boot? I tried adding a sh file with 'swapon /swapfile' in /etc/init.d, but it doesn't seem to work? | 06:47 |
| Two_Dogs | Norux: try restarting the service | 06:50 |
| ducasse | kristenbb: add an entry for it in /etc/fstab | 06:51 |
| Norux | Two_Dogs: I did, and then I get `Service failed because it exited with an error. See systemctl status networking.service` | 06:52 |
| Norux | so i checked that, and that gives me "unknown interface wlp2s0". | 06:52 |
| === r0Oter is now known as r00ter | ||
| Norux | If I out-comment (?) the `auto wlp2s0` in `/etc/network/interfaces`, I still get unknown host when pinging google | 06:55 |
| Two_Dogs | Norux: copy/paste & execute via terminal> iwconfig ## look correct? | 06:56 |
| ducasse | Norux: is that the only line you have for that interface in /etc/network/interfaces? | 06:56 |
| Norux | Two_Dogs: uhh... no... `lo` and `enp5s0` say "no wireless extensions" | 06:57 |
| Two_Dogs | Norux: you here on enp5s0? | 06:57 |
| Norux | ducasse: no. I have the following: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/yxcfMm35hs/ | 06:58 |

| Norux | ducasse: where do I get my ssid and psk from | 07:08 |
| Norux | ducasse: and, do I need that for a LAN interface? | 07:09 |
| ducasse | Norux: you should know that if you're trying to set up a wireless network connection | 07:10 |
| Norux | ducasse: At the moment I first want to fix my lan connection | 07:10 |
| Norux | but thank you! | 07:10 |

| DK2 | im trying to configure a hostroute http://pastebin.centos.org/782911/ | 11:30 |

| DK2 | it works when i set the ip to the same as the 192.168.0.0/24 | 11:30 |
| DK2 | any ideas? | 11:30 |
| JimBuntu | DK2, is 192.168.0.254 truly your gateway? AND... is it configured to be able to talk to the 10.82.x.x network? | 11:32 |
| DK2 | yes, if i set the server ip 192.168.0.200 for example with same route, it works | 11:33 |
| DK2 | .254 is the GW | 11:33 |
| === Richard is now known as Guest73574 | ||
| JimBuntu | Double check if the gateway is set up for /24, since using x.x.0.200 works | 11:33 |
| |\n | thanks Two_Dogs, there were things to clean up, even though it changed the situation to a more healthy state, glxinfo complains on absence of some ".drirc" and explicitly says "Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig" =) | 11:33 |
| DK2 | the gw is 192.168.0.254/24 | 11:34 |
| DK2 | but as it says "no route to host" it seems the server with 192.168.2.1 doesnt seem to know how to contact 192.168.0.254? | 11:34 |
| JimBuntu | isn't x.x.2.x outside of a x.x.0.x/24 network? | 11:35 |
| === root_ is now known as Guest27372 | ||
| DK2 | yes | 11:36 |
| DK2 | thats why im doing the hostroute thing | 11:36 |
| DK2 | as seen in the config snippet | 11:36 |
| DK2 | both subnets are in the same vlan | 11:36 |
| |\n | DK2, if you'd add a certain box from 10th manually - do you experience the same? | 11:37 |
| DK2 | sec, trying that one | 11:37 |
| DK2 | yes, same fail / | 11:38 |
| |\n | also #ubuntu-server might worth to ask as well | 11:38 |
| JimBuntu | Sorry, I simply don't see how it would know how to route... given the netmask puts x.x.0.254 out of bounds. | 11:38 |
| DK2 | it should like that, we are doing configurations like this for additional ips for ages | 11:39 |

| janat08 | what app store mint uses, can I install that since it's not useless unlike that of ubuntu? | 12:49 |
| rangemonger | just use apt/synaptic, its not useless | 12:50 |
| janat08 | I don't wish to look for PPA that has an app | 12:51 |
| BluesKaj | app store ?? this isn't android ;-) | 12:51 |
| SlidingHorn | rangemonger: well, if that's your feeling on the matter, you're free to use Mint. Different strokes for different folks | 12:52 |
| SlidingHorn | oops | 12:52 |
| SlidingHorn | janat08 | 12:52 |
| rangemonger | SlidingHorn: i think that was directed at janat08 | 12:52 |
| rangemonger | heh yeah | 12:52 |
| janat08 | mint needs reinstall for major release upgrade | 12:52 |
| rangemonger | synaptic is underappreciated, ive yet to use a better package manager | 12:52 |
| BluesKaj | !mint | janat08 | 12:53 |
| ubottu | janat08: The Ubuntu channels can only provide support for Ubuntu and its official flavors, since other distributions and derivatives have repository and software changes. So please use their dedicated support venues, for example: Linux Mint (#linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org), Kali Linux (#kali-linux), and LXLE (#lxle) | 12:53 |
| BluesKaj | rangemonger, muon | 12:55 |
| rangemonger | BlueShark: i used to use muon when on kde but the search was a bit lacking and it was a bit buggy | 12:56 |
| rangemonger | if they fixed it up, it would be great | 12:56 |
| rangemonger | i really hope they do because im not a fan of these store type things | 12:56 |
| rangemonger | synaptic does need a few things too though like a gui for apt autoremove, autoclean and some other stuff | 12:57 |
| BluesKaj | rangemonger, never had a problem with muon ...still works great as a reference | 12:58 |
| rangemonger | ill have to try it again | 12:58 |
| janat08 | so you can expect muon to have chrome/chromium? | 12:59 |

| SlidingHorn | janat08: any software management application will be drawing from the same repositories. If you're using Ubuntu, chromium is available. Chrome itself I believe needs to be retrieved from Google | 13:02 |
| swoc | Hello! | 13:03 |
| janat08 | you mean basically software management apps expect you to add PPAs | 13:03 |
| rangemonger | no | 13:03 |
| rangemonger | apt/synaptic isnt only ppas | 13:04 |
| swoc | I upgraded from ubuntu 16.04LTS to 18.04LTS, I'm using AMD RX480 GPU and fx6300CPU. Running on 4.15.0-22-generic kernel and amdgpu graphics drivers. | 13:04 |
| swoc | There is some screen flickering and horizontal flashing lines on screen refresh. | 13:04 |
| swoc | Any ideas? | 13:04 |
| rangemonger | any package manager that relies on apt will show you a huge list of apps available from the main repositories, no need to add a ppa if they are already there | 13:04 |
| rangemonger | and chromium is already there | 13:05 |
| swoc | s/RX480/RX460 | 13:07 |
| rangemonger | are there any current, nice gui progs for remastering a minimal ubuntu install into an install iso? | 13:09 |
| lesshaste | when I do apt-get install upgrade, should I install the package manager's /etc/default/grub or keep my existing one? | 13:10 |
| SlidingHorn | rangemonger: Not that I'm aware of :/ | 13:11 |
| rangemonger | lesshaste: the former has worked better for me | 13:11 |
| lesshaste | thanks | 13:11 |
| rangemonger | SlidingHorn: ive been using the yakkety ver of systemback, it gets the job done, no big deal | 13:11 |

| rangemonger | SlidingHorn: pinguy builder looks promising, gonna give that one a shot | 13:14 |

| lesshaste | rangemonger, thanks.. I picked the latter.. let's see what happens | 13:15 |

| klr | Does anyone have any information on this mornings supervisor unattended upgrade that cause outages for many people? | 15:43 |
| francisv | cpare: I had this problem when I upgraded from Ubuntu 17.10 to Ubuntu 18.04. The solution was to add 'nomodeset' to /etc/defaults/grub, and then run 'update-grub' | 15:44 |
| francisv | cpare: this used to work until today when I plugged that external displayed | 15:44 |
| cpare | @francisv - did you try that yet? | 15:44 |
| cpare | @francisv - Not sure - sorry | 15:45 |
| francisv | I double checked /etc/defaults/grub, 'nomodeset' is still there | 15:45 |
| francisv | I re-run update-grub | 15:45 |
| francisv | I double checked /boot/grub.cfg | 15:45 |
| francisv | 'nomodeset' is there, as a parameter of the 'linux' command | 15:46 |
| MortezaE | I see no installed gnome-calculator in my package manager (I installed ubuntu yesterday and didn't remove calculator), Anyway when I run `gnome-calculator` it takes 90% of cpu and nothing happens! and `which`: which gnome-calculator >>>>> /snap/bin/gnome-calculator | 15:46 |
| MortezaE | wtf is snap | 15:46 |
| klr | another package management system. | 15:46 |
| francisv | cpare: what I would like to double check (but I do not know how) is to make sure that that specific configuration is the one selected when booting | 15:46 |

| guest253 | hi | 15:48 |
| guest253 | anyone alive? | 15:48 |
| genii | guest253: Better to just ask your actual Ubuntu support question | 15:49 |
| guest253 | hey | 15:50 |
| guest253 | yeah | 15:50 |
| francisv | all the menu entries in /boot/grub/grub.cfg has nomodeset as argument of the linux command | 15:50 |
| === argus is now known as argusbr | ||
| francisv | addressing the problem from another angle: how do I blacklist nouveau? | 15:51 |
| francisv | or how do I double check Wayland is not used, but X.org? | 15:52 |
| guest253 | how can I install a firefox extension for a existent plugin? I have it downloaded but the installation program seems to not be able to run it | 15:52 |
| genii | francisv: The grub.cfg file you're refencing is for legacy grub | 15:52 |
| francisv | genii: which file should I check instead? | 15:52 |
| genii | francisv: For grub2 changes should be made in /etc/default/grub and then to take effect, sudo update-grub | 15:53 |
| === semeion is now known as mnemonic | ||
| francisv | genii: I added 'nomodeset' in /etc/default/grub, (GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT) | 15:54 |
| francisv | then I did update-grub\ | 15:54 |
| francisv | I noticed that update-grub recreated /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 15:54 |
| guest253 | its Video DownloadHelper Companion App 1.1.3. once on my hard drive, how do I install it? | 15:55 |

| Football_Head | hi | 16:03 |
| Football_Head | Hi everyone | 16:03 |
| Football_Head | Newbie here | 16:03 |
| Football_Head | I need some help | 16:03 |
| Football_Head | I am currently using windows 10 running on a refurbished Dell | 16:04 |
| Football_Head | I want to install Ubuntu 16.04 so I can Double Boot | 16:04 |
| Football_Head | This is for a project | 16:05 |
| Football_Head | I already ahev a bootable USB prepared but am a bit unclear about the info I am seeing online | 16:05 |
| Football_Head | Som esay I need to partition before booting to install | 16:06 |
| Football_Head | while some others say the Ubuntu installer will ask me to partition during the installation process. | 16:06 |
| Football_Head | Which is it? | 16:06 |
| ericus | the later | 16:07 |
| Football_Head | Thank you for all your help | 16:07 |
| ericus | the installer will partition it for you Football_Head | 16:08 |
| nacc | ericus: you don't need to clear up any space in /boot ? | 16:08 |
| ericus | oh, you wanna keep windows? | 16:08 |
| ericus | then I'm not sure | 16:08 |
| Football_Head | Yes I want to keep Windows | 16:08 |
| ericrajuin | you need to shrink the windows partition first to make space | 16:08 |
| Football_Head | So I have the double boot option | 16:08 |
| lapaga | Football_Head, or you could run ubuntu in virtualbox | 16:09 |
| lapaga | Football_Head, since its just for a project | 16:10 |
| ubuntu_new | shrink the windows partition first. create some unallocated space and install using Ubuntu Installer(where you will get the option to install ubuntu alongside windows) | 16:10 |
| ericus | nacc yes I do, cannot install the lastest kernel. Not enough space | 16:10 |
| Football_Head | Its a long project | 16:10 |
| nacc | ericus: oh i see, you're behind | 16:10 |
| Football_Head | ericus | 16:11 |
| nacc | ericus: you have enough to install one kernel, fyi, can you pastebin `ls -ahl /boot` instead? | 16:11 |
| Football_Head | so I partition first? | 16:11 |
| ericrajuin | you can use "try ununtu" from the bootable USB, and from it use gparted to manipulate the partitions on your hard drive | 16:12 |
| ericus | nacc https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/dyWgWr32J3/ | 16:12 |
| nacc | ericus: ah, your initrd is rather large, ok | 16:13 |
| nacc | ericus: so yeah you don't have enough space, it seems like | 16:13 |
| nacc | ericus: you can manually remove the -37 kernel/initrd if you are on -41 ? | 16:13 |
| ericus | guess I'll have to do that | 16:13 |
| nacc | ericus: you can do it with apt, i mean | 16:16 |
| ericus | yes | 16:16 |
| nacc | ericus: this is going to be a constant problem, tbh. I would reinstall with a larger /boot | 16:17 |
| ericus | it's been working fine for a year maybe, until recently | 16:17 |
| nacc | ericus: it will have this problem regularly, afaict | 16:18 |
| ericus | will reinstall some day | 16:18 |
| ericus | thanks nacc | 16:19 |
| guest253 | anyone knows how can I install net.downloadhelper.coapp-1.1.3-1_i386.deb? | 16:19 |
| DeathTickle | are you talking about the helper program for the video downloader addon for firefox ? | 16:21 |
| guest253 | yes, for firefox | 16:21 |
| guest253 | have it downloaded but I dont know how to install it | 16:22 |
| DeathTickle | I would suggest using youtube-dl instead of that addon, but you should be able to install it by double clicking the file from a file manager | 16:23 |
| DeathTickle | if you arent successful with that you can do 'sudo dpkg -i net.downloadhelper….' on the command line | 16:24 |
| guest253 | yes, I also use youtube-dl, but this doesnt work on some sites. I did double clicked it but the wheel keeps spinning forever | 16:24 |
| guest253 | I'll try the command line, but how do I add it the path? | 16:28 |
| DeathTickle | on the command line, you should 'cd' to the directory containing the .deb or you should specify the full path after 'sudo dpkg -i …' | 16:30 |
| guest253 | ok, thx. havent used linux in a long time hehe | 16:31 |
| DeathTickle | sure thing | 16:31 |
| DeathTickle | on the command line you might be able to see some errors that you werent seeing when using the GUI | 16:32 |
| === SimonNL_Afk is now known as SimonNL | ||
| texla | During boot I am seeing an error message after clean and scan files...Is there any way to slow down the error message to be able to read | 16:37 |
| DeathTickle | you can read it after boot using the journal | 16:38 |
| texla | DeathTickle, Please elaborate about journal | 16:39 |
| DeathTickle | the messages on boot are saved into files for viewing after boot. You can use a graphical journal viewer or simply 'journalctl' on the command line to view the messages | 16:40 |
| guest253 | DeathTickle, it worked fine from command line. thanks a lot, mate | 16:41 |
| DeathTickle | so I guess the GUI was just bugging out @guest253 | 16:43 |

| DeathTickle | francisv what have you tried so far ? I have tried removing/reinstalling both nouveau and nvidia-driver packages. I have tried adding nouveau to the blacklist in modprobe but no success | 17:09 |
| aboabo | I always love APU! | 17:10 |
| francisv | I have tried using 'nomodeset' to grub | 17:10 |
| francisv | DeathTickle: ^ | 17:10 |
| francisv | I can access to my computer only in recovery mode | 17:10 |
| francisv | only terminal | 17:10 |
| francisv | how did you blacklist nouveau? | 17:11 |
| DeathTickle | you modified /boot/grub/grub.cfg ? ouch that is pretty bad | 17:11 |
| aboabo | my desktop is beautiful | 17:11 |
| kiokoman | ndavis: dpkg -P snort | 17:11 |
| francisv | DeathTickle: no, i modified /etc/default/grub | 17:11 |
| ash_worksi | how do you 'enable' altgr on 18.04? | 17:12 |
| DeathTickle | francisv normally you can add a file with "blacklist nouveau" under /etc/modprob.d/ but that didnt work for me | 17:12 |
| lapaga | https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-the-nvidia-drivers-on-ubuntu-18-04-bionic-beaver-linux might be a good read | 17:12 |
| francisv | DeathTickle: I till try blacklisting now | 17:12 |
| francisv | lets se | 17:12 |
| francisv | e | 17:12 |
| DeathTickle | and I dont think adding nomodeset is correct, since the nvidia driver now uses kernel modesetting | 17:13 |

| Eca_flipette | I wanted to say that without a good java, one does not simply walk into PL/SQL \o/ .O. \o/ | 17:16 |
| francisv | I added a file called /etc/modprob.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf, and inside 'blacklist nouveau'. I also added 'blacklist neuveau' to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf. Rebooted but still nouveau complaining | 17:16 |
| DeathTickle | francisv yeah I have the same thing, I dont know why it isnt being blacklisted for real | 17:19 |
| rpittau | francisv: please verify the name of the mod you're blacklisting | 17:22 |
| rpittau | francisv: should be ' blacklist nouveau ' | 17:22 |
| francisv | rpittau: name in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf verified | 17:23 |
| rpittau | francisv: you should also try to add ' options nouveau modeset=0 ' in the same blacklist conf file and regenerate initramfs | 17:23 |
| Eca_flipette | Did you know Kiri © -uha; is a well protected cheese recipe in France ? | 17:23 |
| francisv | rpittau: options in blacklist.conf or in blacklist-nouveau.conf? | 17:24 |
| Eca_flipette | I'm sorry i'm on the wrong chat... | 17:24 |
| rpittau | francisv: blacklist-nouveau.conf | 17:24 |
| DeathTickle | what is the difference between all the blacklist-* files ? do the filenames matter ? rpittau | 17:25 |
| francisv | in blacklist-nouveau.conf I have two lines now. One line 'blacklist nouveau' second line:'options nouveau modeset=0' | 17:25 |
| francisv | rebooting.. | 17:25 |
| rpittau | francisv: please regenarete initramfs before rebootin | 17:25 |

| IanLiu | I've just installed PostgreSQL 9.6 with `sudo snap install postgresql96`. Now I'm trying to execute the `postgresql96.pgdump` program which should create a directory at ~/files, but I'm getting `pg_dump: [directory archiver] could not create directory "files": Permission denied`. Is there any permission I should give to this program so it can create files in my home directory? | 17:52 |
| ash_worksi | oh wow, I didn't realize what channel I was in | 17:52 |
| francisv | matjam: yes, let's hope this will not make my (and others') system unstable and will be fix fast. Thank you. | 17:52 |
| jorc | i need help with a problem on my ubuntu 18.04 | 17:53 |
| nacc | IanLiu: the snap is supported here: https://github.com/commandprompt/postgresql-snap | 17:53 |

| leftyfb | !ask | jorc | 17:53 |
| ubottu | jorc: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 17:53 |
| matjam | IanLiu: any reason you used the snap and not a normal package? | 17:54 |

| ash_worksi | information* | 17:54 |
| leftyfb | ash_worksi: apt-cache show | 17:54 |
| IanLiu | matjam: because the package from repo isn't updated, and the PG system I'm using is 9.6 | 17:54 |
| ash_worksi | leftyfb: no I mean it was a gui program | 17:55 |
| jorc | my computer freezes randomly. i think that the memory become full so fast, but i dont know | 17:55 |
| leftyfb | ash_worksi: depends on the version and flavor of ubuntu | 17:55 |
| nacc | IanLiu: you are trusting that company, in this case, to provide you your database server | 17:56 |
| nacc | IanLiu: afaict, 9.6 is only in artful and is up to 9.6.8; did you really need 9.6.9? | 17:56 |
| matjam | ash_worksi: I see postgresql 10.3 in the repo .. and if you need older versions you can use the postgresql official packages from https://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/ubuntu/ | 17:57 |
| nacc | matjam: wrong person? | 17:57 |

| nacc | IanLiu: what pgdump command? | 17:59 |
| matjam | IanLiu: snaps are generally ok but personally if I'm doing anything with server software I'd want that to be an actual dpkg | 17:59 |

| matjam | zealsham_: yeah, so, note the command you have an argument, dport, but it should be -dport | 18:05 |
| DeathTickle | seems like there are loads of problems since 18.04 on nvidia drivers :( | 18:06 |
| matjam | zealsham_: you have a space where it has "- dport 80" it should be "-dport 80 | 18:06 |

| s10gopal | matjam, ran it using su http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/8H94bCTZR5/ | 18:07 |
| matjam | s10gopal: yeah so you probably ran some graphical tools using "sudo command", don't do that, it will create files owned by root in your home directory | 18:07 |
| matjam | s10gopal: sudo chown -R gopal:gopal /home/gopal | 18:07 |
| matjam | DeathTickle: what problems are you having? | 18:09 |
| DeathTickle | matjam could you help me out figuring out ur config. Do u have nvidia-driver-390 installed ? and if so do u have any command line parameters for nouveau/nvidia ? | 18:09 |
| matjam | zealsham_: it's --dport not -dport | 18:09 |
| s10gopal | matjam, thx . i can trash files now | 18:09 |
| matjam | zealsham_: sometimes if you cut and paste from a website, they will mangle -- into a single - or into a html long - | 18:09 |
| matjam | s10gopal: neato | 18:10 |
| zealsham_ | matjam: ah!!, thanks for that info | 18:11 |
| DeathTickle | matjam my problem is nvidia driver isnt loading even with having it selected, and nouveau blacklisted | 18:11 |
| matjam | DeathTickle: I use nvidia-driver-390. Once I selected it from the Additional Drivers panel in "Software & Updates", I rebooted, then I run nvidia-settings and configure everything the way I want it, and save configuration to /etc/X11/xorg.conf - that's literally all I had to do | 18:11 |
| matjam | zealsham_: so for the syntax check "man iptables" and "man iptables-extensions" when you get those kinds of errors, and make sure you're using the right syntax. | 18:12 |
| matjam | zealsham_: also doing iptables raw like that is not recommended, you should use ufw | 18:13 |
| zealsham_ | matjam: how do you do that with ufw | 18:14 |
| matjam | DeathTickle: oh, yeah, someone yesterday was having that issue too | 18:14 |
| matjam | zealsham_: dunno, you'd have to check the man page :P | 18:14 |
| matjam | zealsham_: but it's the best way to persist any changes so that when you reboot they keep working | 18:15 |
| matjam | DeathTickle: gimme a sec | 18:15 |
| matjam | DeathTickle: can you install pastebinit with "sudo apt install pastebinit" and then do "sudo lshw -C display | pastebinit" | 18:17 |
| matjam | DeathTickle: it should print a url on the command line, please share it here | 18:17 |
| DanielPowerNL | How can I switch to the old behavior of typing to select files and folder in nautilus? This new search functionality is way too slow. | 18:19 |

| DeathTickle | but after that gnome desktop doesnt appear | 18:33 |
| matjam | DeathTickle: yeah ok so once you log in, run nvidia-settings and configure everything in there, then save the config to "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" and reboot and see if it picks up stuff properly after that. I find the nvidia drivers need that xorg.conf file | 18:33 |

| sparrowsword | DeathTickle: tried that as well... | 19:06 |
| sparrowsword | DeathTickle: probably something really stupid im doing wrong... | 19:06 |

| sparrowsword | perhaps my settings in wdcloud are incorrect somehow... | 19:08 |
| sparrowsword | DeathTickle: myshare is just the name of a folder right? | 19:08 |
| DeathTickle | can you mount that share using another computer ? | 19:08 |

| DeathTickle | no myshare is the name u set it | 19:08 |

| DeathTickle | amixer ? shouldnt it be a pulseaudio command or something ? | 19:18 |
| Butterfly^ | although, that's optional, and wouldn't be too much of an issue if i couldn't do that last one, the mute on screensaver/lock activation is what's crucial | 19:18 |

| BaKKaR | Butterfly^, yes it is and it says no for both hard and soft | 19:30 |
| matjam | janat08: depends, usual rule of thumb is like, 5% but depends on whether you're using virtio, which io scheduler you use, etc. | 19:30 |
| Butterfly^ | BaKKaR : that's all i know about bluetooth really, i hated bluetooth when i went to the launch convention about 18 years ago, and i still hate it today, as it's far from reliable and a total hit or miss :) | 19:30 |

| doug16k | janat08, with virt-io, vm disk performance is almost native speed. besides that, the cache configuration is the main determining factor | 19:36 |
| === root is now known as Guest1671 | ||
| doug16k | janat08, you can set the disk caching to unsafe for max performance, but if power is lost or the vm is killed, corruption is possible | 19:37 |

| matjam | BaKKaR: can you install pastebinit with "sudo apt install pastebinit" and then run "lshw | pastebinit" it should come back with a URL, share the URL with us. | 19:37 |

| RoadRunner | does the use of ssh increase the need to encrypt ubuntu partitions on a remote comp or is ssh considered to be secure enough not to have to worry about that? | 22:12 |
| kiokoman | secure enough ... | 22:13 |
| kiokoman | it's secure only when u unplug the lan cable | 22:14 |
| IntelCore | Ran ubuntu (upstart). so, now it has all this text when ubuntu loads. And, my grub is set 'splash' | 22:14 |
| tgm4883 | RoadRunner: those are two different forms of encryption you're talking about | 22:15 |
| RoadRunner | tgm4883: I realize that, just wondering if "an extra" way in has a potential to compromize something | 22:16 |
| tgm4883 | RoadRunner: The problem with your questions is you're asking if SSH encryption (protects data during transit) makes it more necessary to encrypt your hard drive (protects data when your machine is off) | 22:17 |
| RoadRunner | tgm4883: hd encryption protects only when the machine is off? | 22:19 |
| tgm4883 | RoadRunner: yes | 22:19 |
| nacc | IntelCore: are you running 14.04? | 22:19 |
| tgm4883 | RoadRunner: which would be like asking. I bought a car with air bags, so should I lock my front door when I leave the house | 22:19 |
| nacc | tgm4883: i mean, the answer is yes :) | 22:20 |
| tgm4883 | nacc: what if you're in Canada? | 22:20 |
| nacc | lol | 22:20 |
| RoadRunner | tgm4883: I like your analogy :) | 22:21 |
| RoadRunner | but even my questions sound imbecile, I know of no other way to learn :) | 22:21 |
| IntelCore | nacc - this 16.04 | 22:22 |
| tgm4883 | RoadRunner: The only dumb questions are the ones you don't ask | 22:22 |
| nacc | IntelCore: then what do you mean you are running upstart? | 22:23 |
| IntelCore | upstart ubuntu instead of systemd? | 22:24 |
| nacc | IntelCore: why would you do that on 16.04? | 22:24 |
| asier | HI | 22:25 |
| IntelCore | nacc: I dunno why the text displays. grub is set, i think, to splash. | 22:25 |
| nacc | IntelCore: you're not answering my question | 22:25 |
| IntelCore | Ah, nacc: there are the option to boot ubuntu (upstart) | 22:25 |
| nacc | IntelCore: upstart is not the init system by default on 16.04, i doubt it works well and it simply doesn't exist anymore in later releases. | 22:26 |
| nacc | IntelCore: you have no reason, i expect, to boot that version of ubuntu, and i doubt most services work with it. | 22:26 |
| kiokoman | nope, it's gone on 18.04 | 22:26 |
| RoadRunner | Two_Dogs: are chrome-remote desktop extension also a sepparate app like teamviewer? | 22:26 |
| IntelCore | nacc: so this must be why the pc has text right after grub | 22:27 |
| nacc | IntelCore: do you mean you aren't given a graphical login? | 22:27 |
| nacc | IntelCore: yes, don't use an unsupported config. | 22:27 |
| Two_Dogs | no idea RoadRunner | 22:27 |
| nacc | IntelCore: i'm fairly sure those options are only there for people upgrading from 14.04 | 22:27 |
| IntelCore | nacc: it finally will go thru all and give a log-in page | 22:27 |
| RoadRunner | Two_Dogs: please explain you suggestion regarding chrome-remote | 22:28 |
| IntelCore | nacc: so this grub issue? | 22:28 |
| nacc | IntelCore: ok ... I don't particularly care about that. I doubt most things work. Don't use that option. | 22:28 |
| nacc | IntelCore: no. | 22:28 |
| nacc | IntelCore: seriously, just don't use that boot option. | 22:28 |
| nacc | IntelCore: you have no reason to do so, as you don't seem to know what 'upstart' is. | 22:28 |
| RoadRunner | Two_Dogs: are you able to talk in a private chat? | 22:31 |
| IntelCore | nacc - this seems to be using upstart now when boots, how to go back to other way? | 22:33 |
| nacc | IntelCore: reboot to the entry that doesn't say upstart. | 22:34 |
| nacc | IntelCore: as in the default one | 22:34 |
| Two_Dogs | RoadRunner: i dont pm/pvt | 22:35 |

| ericrajuin | Hello I got a question. Is there a quick way to list all packages currently installed from a ppa? I've got a bunch of libmono* packages which I want to freeze it from upgrading, but I don't want to 'apt-mark hold' and type each name coz there's a lot of names to type.. | 22:44 |
| IntelCore | ericrajuin - askubuntu.com/questions/447129/how-to-list-all-the-packages-which-are-installed-from-ppas | 22:47 |
| ericrajuin | IntelCore: I'll try that, thank you :) | 22:49 |
| oerheks | aptitude search '?narrow(?installed, ~Oppa)' | 22:49 |
| ericrajuin | oerheks: do I substitue the "~Oppa" with the ppa name ? | 22:53 |
| IntelCore | i think it is init. not grub | 22:54 |
| yuppie | no one in the ERPXE channel lol | 22:57 |
| oerheks | ericrajuin, oh it gives meta package names only | 22:57 |
| ycyclist | What is the IRC channel for encoding questions? | 23:01 |
| ycyclist | I googled but no luck. | 23:01 |

| jfwneu | Tomcat 9 was declared stable in mid-january... not enough time to include it in the 18.04 repository? | 23:31 |
| nacc | jfwneu: it's not in debian either | 23:32 |
| jfwneu | oof | 23:32 |
| jfwneu | i thought the one group of people who benefitted from systemd were distribution maintainers... | 23:33 |
| nacc | jfwneu: not sure what that has to do with the other? | 23:33 |
| FreakingOut1987 | I have some pretty important data saved in mousepad editor. It has just become unresponsive. It usually happens once I open about 100+ tabs in one session. No idea what could cause the problem. I'm hesitant to force close any of these mousepads as they all fork from the same original process. What can I do to salvage the data saved in one of the child processes? | 23:49 |
| ButterFly^ | FreakingOut1987 : tip for the future, save way more often | 23:53 |
| FreakingOut1987 | ButterFly^, mhm, I'm not opening 100+ tabs without saving though hahaha. It's more like once I reach tab 100+ in the name | 23:53 |
