| RoadRunner | what is the advantage of limiting access to a floppy drive? | 00:40 |
| streaky | no floppy viruses? | 00:42 |
| streaky | i haven't seen a floppy drive in a pc for like 20 years :s | 00:43 |
| kk4ewt | RoadRunner, well for one machines havent came with them for many years | 00:43 |
| comodore64 | wtf | 00:43 |
| comodore64 | exit | 00:43 |
| streaky | lol | 00:44 |
| streaky | esoteric question of the day right there | 00:44 |
| streaky | one for reddit methinks | 00:45 |
| RoadRunner | kk4ewt: even if there is just one left in the world, why deliberately take away the "write" priveledge? | 00:48 |
| streaky | is this in response to something that's happened that i missed? | 00:49 |
| RoadRunner | streaky: you probably missed that if someone still got a working drive and a box of floppies, they are way cheaper than usb sticks... | 00:50 |
| streaky | and way less useful | 00:50 |
| waltman | If it's like CDs, I'm guessing the answer is that it's a multiuser operating system, and you don't necessarily want any random user accessing it. | 00:50 |
| streaky | i can think of reasons to limit writes in a more general sense | 00:51 |
| streaky | like to prevent data exfiltration or accidentally destroying data | 00:51 |
| * waltman calls shenanigans on "way cheaper" | 00:51 | |
| streaky | well | 00:51 |
| streaky | quite, individually you get get them cheaper and more reliable, even factoring in inflation and peak manufacture | 00:51 |
| RoadRunner | waltman: can't get cheaper than free | 00:52 |
| streaky | been to literally any trade show in the last 10 years? | 00:52 |
| waltman | Indeed. I've got a pile of free usb sticks I've gotten as swag at conferences. | 00:52 |
| RoadRunner | streaky: re: less usefull - not so, if your files are small | 00:52 |
| streaky | why? | 00:52 |
| waltman | orders of magnitude slower. | 00:52 |
| streaky | floppy disks are just data destruction machines | 00:53 |
| streaky | they're much bigger, much slower, much smaller and massively less reliable | 00:53 |
| alpha | hey | 00:54 |
| streaky | oops i have a magnet in my bag, bye bye data | 00:54 |
| alpha | good job | 00:54 |
| alpha | is your data backedup? | 00:54 |
| waltman | Is there anything preventing this hypothetical user who's still got a floppy drive and a pile of free floppies that still work from just changing the setting to make it writeable? | 00:54 |
| streaky | alpha, floppy disk discussion going on for reasons passing understanding, it's not an actual thing :p | 00:55 |
| alpha | oh ok | 00:55 |
| alpha | :) | 00:55 |
| alpha | just joined so all I saw was the streaky talking about the magnet | 00:56 |
| streaky | plus yeah actually now you mention it - carrying storage around in 2018 is pretty passé anyway - because y'know, nextcloud google et al | 00:56 |
| RoadRunner | waltman: it precisely changing the settings that is going to be an issue for someone who still has floppies :) | 00:56 |
| alpha | yeah, that's true | 00:57 |
| streaky | which leads me nicely into westworld is about to start.. | 00:57 |
| oerheks | one needs 8" floppies to reprogram nuclear rockets, no? | 00:57 |
| RoadRunner | oerheks: so I've heard :) | 00:57 |
| RoadRunner | but that's even older than 20 years... | 00:59 |
| oerheks | edit /etc/group find the floppy group and add your username next to it, then save the file. this might fix the groups problem so you can write | 01:03 |
| kk4ewt | and with all group changes you will have to logout, login | 01:04 |
| oerheks | sudo usermod -a -G groupName userName | 01:06 |
| SporkWitch | kk4ewt: there's actually a command to refresh groups without logging out, at least in a terminal; i always forget it and have to google it, though | 01:08 |
| hggdh | SporkWitch: newgrp <new group> | 01:28 |

| corey__ | Hi, is there anyway to improve the responsiveness of ubuntu 18.04s UI? i'm running a AMD RX 560 / amd ryzen 1700, fresh install default & wayland are both tear free, but laggy when moving windows or just using firefox | 05:44 |
| lotuspsychje | corey__: gnome is known to be more laggy, can you check if your driver loaded well? sudo lshw -C video | 05:49 |
| corey__ | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/xxCvBjmtHk/ | 05:50 |
| corey__ | i think its more of the compositor | 05:51 |
| lotuspsychje | corey__: driver looks loaded correctly | 05:52 |
| corey__ | is ubuntu 18.04's default compositor mutter? can i change the way it vsyncs? | 05:53 |
| corey__ | on other distros i'd use compton to fix tearing with xrendr as backend and vsync type as drm | 05:53 |
| lotuspsychje | corey__: you think its graphics related, or just overall system laggy? | 05:56 |
| corey__ | it's definitely related to the default compositor, this is a pretty beefy system so i assume the way it syncs isn't the best for this card | 05:57 |
| corey__ | also have tried updating all of the drivers with optimizations from Oibaf | 05:58 |
| lotuspsychje | corey__: tryed other kernels too? | 05:58 |
| lotuspsychje | corey__: you might wanna have a look in dmesg/syslog too to see whats happening with amdgpu | 05:59 |
| corey__ | what ones would you suggest? i'm not seeing anything funny in dmesg/syslog i'll try https://liquorix.net/ i guess | 06:01 |
| lotuspsychje | !mainline | corey__ as test | 06:03 |
| ubottu | corey__ as test: The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds | 06:03 |

| Edisto | on ubuntu regular there are 2 vlc players. What is the second that plays all movies? I am on ubuntu mate but I only see 1 on the store | 07:33 |
| geirha | do you mean video players? | 07:36 |
| geirha | if so you might be thinking of vlc and mpv | 07:36 |
| Edisto | geirha: When I just on ubuntugnome there were two on the store. One said for dvd,vcd,etc. And the other played mp4, flv, avi, etc.. | 07:37 |
| Edisto | trying to play mp4 files and it is crashing like the dvd,vcd vlc player | 07:38 |
| guiver_d | Edisto: i'm not aware of more than one VLC; I SUSPECT if more than one is seen on the store, one is the deb version, other versions being snaps (which could be a different version(s)) | 07:49 |
| Edisto | guiver_d: yeah.. They appear to be different versions. I had to install the gnome software from boutique. One is 3.03 and the other is 3.02 which crahses | 07:50 |
| guiver_d | VLC i believe requires codecs; esp to play dvds. I don't know if the snap would use codecs installed for the deb version (it may if the snap is packaged as a classic-snap; but I couldn't tell you how to check sorry) | 07:53 |

| dudeji | hi we lost some files from recycle bin and after using testdisk , we got files but all files are empty. any luck with that ? | 08:08 |
| lotuspsychje | dudeji: did you try recover data with photorec? | 08:08 |
| dudeji | nope | 08:08 |
| dudeji | directly from test disk | 08:09 |
| lotuspsychje | dudeji: photorec is the recovery part from testdisk | 08:09 |
| tomeaton17 | Hello, I am trying to flash a usb stick with gparted to resize my boot partition. However whenever I boot with the usb stick, it just takes me to the grub fallback shell. what have i done wrong? I am on a UEFI system | 08:09 |
| dudeji | we issued command sudo testdisk | 08:09 |
| dudeji | and from there we navigated folder and recovered it. | 08:10 |
| lotuspsychje | dudeji: try sudo photorec and scan whole hd | 08:10 |
| dudeji | o | 08:10 |
| dudeji | ok | 08:10 |
| EriC^^ | tomeaton17: did you md5sum the iso? | 08:10 |
| lotuspsychje | dudeji: if photorec cant recover, your data is prob dead | 08:10 |
| EriC^^ | dudeji: you can choose in photorec which file types to recover | 08:10 |
| tomeaton17 | EriC^^: I have tried with rufus and tuxboot, and I believe tuxboot did a md5sum check | 08:10 |
| tomeaton17 | Also I have tried with etcher | 08:11 |
| EriC^^ | tomeaton17: in the shell try typing "normal" then "configfile /boot/grub/grub.cfg" | 08:11 |
| EriC^^ | tomeaton17: ps you can always resize boot without a live usb fwiw | 08:11 |
| tomeaton17 | EriC^^: can I resize it with the ubuntu live disc | 08:12 |
| EriC^^ | yeah | 08:13 |
| tomeaton17 | EriC^^: Does the live disk have cfdisk | 08:14 |
| EriC^^ | tomeaton17: yeah | 08:15 |
| dudeji | after i select some folder it directly starts recovering from harddisk is it expected behaviour ? | 08:16 |
| EriC^^ | dudeji: yeah i believe so | 08:17 |
| dudeji | basically partition. | 08:17 |
| EriC^^ | dudeji: did you choose the file type? | 08:17 |
| dudeji | nope | 08:17 |
| EriC^^ | well that's a mistake | 08:17 |
| EriC^^ | it doesnt recover names or dir structures | 08:17 |
| EriC^^ | what kind of file did you delete? | 08:18 |

| asanchezh56 | im alba how are uç | 11:16 |
| nav_ | For Ubuntu 16.04.x LTS, starting kernel version is v4.4, what will be the maximum supported HWE kernel version? | 11:16 |
| sodhi | I'm having issues with a custom PS1 for my BASH shell. I've colored a few items to my eyes pleasing, but it has completely borked textwrapping. If I type too long a line, it wraps on the same line ("deleting" the part of the cmd, I've already written) and if I use history (arrow keys), the location of the start of the CMD is set wrong by Bash, so I can't see what I'm editing. | 11:17 |

| asanchezh56 | do you speak spanish? | 11:17 |
| sadiazd02 | ?? | 11:17 |
| adrian_1908 | nav_: kernels get steady updates. minor versions definitely see updates every 6 months, but I think sometimes within a single release too. | 11:17 |
| guiverc | nav_: standard GA kernels are for each release; eg. 16.04 LTS 4.4 kernel came out with 16.04 & remains the same (with patches backported to it, so minor upgrades). HWE kernels mean 16.04 would then use 16.10 kernel, 17.04 kernel, 17.10 etc... | 11:17 |

| sodhi | I wonder why people are so set on trolling :/ | 11:19 |
| sodhi | You'd need to be some sort of sadistic human being to enjoy bothering others with no personal gain apart from said joy. | 11:19 |
| adrian_1908 | I think boredom is a common cause. People often get abrasive when they realize a channel of 1600+ users is practically always idle. | 11:20 |
| sodhi | Possibly. That's how IRC works - and has always worked, though. Don't come here expecting instant answers :) | 11:20 |
| JimBuntu | sodhi, Bullying is a big thing in schools, and carry's hefty penalties. Now those school children turn to IRC. That's how I look at it. | 11:21 |
| sodhi | .. and if you're bored, play a game, start a new programming project or go outside and do something. | 11:21 |
| adrian_1908 | I meant irrespective of their own questions. They expect vibrant discussion, not silence. At least that's my perception. | 11:22 |
| guiverc | excellent point JimBuntu | 11:22 |
| JimBuntu | sodhi, You clearly mean "roll" outside and do something. | 11:22 |
| sodhi | xD | 11:22 |
| nav_ | adrian_1908: Thanks | 11:22 |
| nav_ | Guiverc: Thanks for the clarification. Are these explained in wiki or any other place? If so can you point me on this. | 11:22 |

| v0lksman | been ages since I've done anything on an Ubuntu desktop but I need to ssh to one and export the filemanager display back to my local so I can move files around using a GUI. What command would invoke a filemanager window? | 12:14 |

| adrian_1908 | jaydemir: I would imagine so long the program supports it, that should work. GUI applications might refuse to run more than one instance, so maybe a cmd utility that lets you pass the target device would be an optiion. | 12:42 |

| CyberManifest | adrian_1908: for the longest time I've been told that Ubuntu is based on Debian | 12:51 |
| regdude | compdoc: not in Ubuntu, but I always use OVS | 12:51 |
| adrian_1908 | CyberManifest: right, but I think that just meant to say that Ubuntu immitates Debian. The two OSes don't "track" each other (in lockstep) afaik. | 12:51 |
| CyberManifest | adrian_1908: I mean after all they do at least share the same package manager, do they not? | 12:52 |
| adrian_1908 | they do | 12:52 |
| Southern_Gentlem | CyberManifest, yes it is based not a direct fork | 12:52 |
| pWnGe | ubuntu is BASED on debian | 12:52 |
| CyberManifest | Southern_Gentlem: so which version of Debian is Ubuntu 18.04 "based"? | 12:53 |
| pWnGe | the base system is the same but all the updates are not driven from debian | 12:53 |
| Southern_Gentlem | just like fedora is based on RHEL, and now it is the upstream for RHEL | 12:53 |
| pWnGe | basiclly it is based on debian but whatever happens to it is not in hands of debian but cannonical | 12:54 |
| pWnGe | they after all maintain it | 12:54 |
| CyberManifest | ok, what is Ubuntu 18.04's upstream? | 12:54 |
| Southern_Gentlem | ubuntu | 12:54 |
| Southern_Gentlem | or the projects it uses | 12:55 |
| adrian_1908 | And they have different release cycles no? So I don't think one could state Ubuntu 18.04 == Debian x.x, hence my original reply. | 12:55 |

| bobeo | having an issue with ubuntu, cant delete old kernel versions,and I cant download updates. To make matters worse, its giving me an error, telling me I have to download an update to a kernel before I can delete the old kernels. I cant manually delete files from the directory either, even as root. Ideas? | 13:20 |
| bobeo | tried sudo apt autoremove, sudo apt autoremove -f , apt autoremove, and apt autoremove -f as regular and root. | 13:22 |
| diskin | hi all, when I suspend my laptop (ubuntu 16.04) via system menu, nothing is added to /var/log/pm-suspend.log, but when I run sudo pm-suspend from command line, the log is being updated. Why is that? | 13:23 |
| Southern_Gentlem | bobeo, one question why are you trying to remove old kenrels ? | 13:23 |
| diskin | bobeo, "and I cant download updates" - what is the problem? | 13:25 |
| bobeo | https://askubuntu.com/questions/345588/what-is-the-safest-way-to-clean-up-boot-partition | 13:25 |
| xylaoo | https://tinyurl.com/ya79dnx5 | 13:25 |
| bobeo | my /boot is full, thus I cant update. It tells me I have to install an update to complete an unmet dependecy so I can use autoremove. I dont have teh space to install the update to be able to use autoremove. | 13:26 |
| snpresent | why an ip using tcpros protocol connecting my ubuntu computer??? | 13:26 |
| bobeo | This is really annoying,a nd unless its fixed will force me to reformat probably the single most important system I have. | 13:26 |
| adrian_1908 | snpresent: how would anyone else know? Have you tried looking for more information on the IP? | 13:28 |
| Cheez | bobeo: delete older / unused kernels, you can list and remove them using dpkg which will then free up space on /boot so apt works properly again. | 13:28 |
| bobeo | Southern_Gentlem: Cheez I understand that, I cant. | 13:28 |
| bobeo | its telling me I have to use the -f option because of "unmet dependencies" and then it tries to install a 72.4Mb item, and obviously fails becuase of lack of space. | 13:29 |
| snpresent | adrian_1908, i just want to know is tcpros dangerous??? | 13:29 |
| Cheez | bobeo: have you tried an apt-get remove of the linux-header files? that may actually work | 13:29 |
| bobeo | Cheez: yes | 13:29 |
| bobeo | lhicks@lab-maas:~$ sudo apt-get remove -f linux-image-4.10.0-42-generic Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these: The following packages have unmet dependencies: linux-image-extra-4.10.0-42-generic : Depends: linux-image-4.10.0-42-generic but it is not going to be installed linux-image-extra-4.13.0-43-generic : Depends: | 13:30 |
| adrian_1908 | snpresent: I don't know. Probably no risk, but be sure to run a firewall. | 13:31 |
| bobeo | this seems to be a reoccuring problem, might I humbly recommend a forced state of no more than 5 backlogged kernels, and this problem goes away. | 13:31 |
| bobeo | my first quess is it corrupted, or partially corrupted my current kernel install, which is keeping me from removing the old files. | 13:32 |
| microwaved_ | what you need to do is: go to /usr/sources or /usr/src/ | 13:33 |
| snpresent | adrian_1908, thanks anyway:) | 13:33 |
| microwaved_ | check which ones are there | 13:33 |
| microwaved_ | and if you removed your current kernel that you are running on by accident , make sure to reinstall them | 13:33 |
| microwaved_ | and remove the older ones | 13:33 |
| bobeo | microwaved_: I cant. I cant remove anything. | 13:33 |
| adrian_1908 | snpresent: I definitely recommend looking up the IP though (just do a websearch/geoip), it should be interesting either way. | 13:34 |
| microwaved_ | bobeo: you don't have sudo rights? | 13:34 |
| bobeo | microwaved_: thats the problem, its not letting me remove ANYTHING until I add this file, which is stupid, putting it bluntly, as it creates a race condition that causes a system failure. | 13:34 |
| bobeo | microwaved_: I do have sudo rights. | 13:34 |
| microwaved_ | bobeo: what do you see when you do uname -a | 13:34 |
| bobeo | microwaved_: Ive tried it as a regular user, and as root | 13:34 |
| microwaved_ | tell me the output of uname -a | 13:35 |
| microwaved_ | bobeo: tell me the output of uname -a please | 13:35 |

| adrian_1908 | snpresent: sure, why not :) | 13:36 |
| microwaved_ | bobeo: ok so you're running on 4.13.0-38 | 13:36 |
| microwaved_ | bobeo: the one thing that bothers me why is it asking for 4.10.0-42 | 13:36 |
| snpresent | adrian_1908, 146.196.59.135 | 13:37 |
| bobeo | microwaved_: thats a great question, why does it care about dependencies of a kernel Im wanting to delete. Why would you force someone to update a kernel you want to remove? | 13:37 |
| microwaved_ | bobeo: what you can do is, just install these kernel files, you can either et them through that command or download them with wget | 13:37 |
| adrian_1908 | thx | 13:37 |
| snpresent | if you can please me feedback | 13:37 |
| bobeo | microwaved_: I cant download anything, im out of space, thats the problem. Its trying to force me to download a kernel file toa location thats out of space so I can delete the kernel to fix an out of space issue. | 13:38 |
| microwaved_ | bobeo: did you also do a du -ah? | 13:38 |
| bobeo | Its the same idea as asking me to put more coke into a coke bottle than will fit so I can pour it out. | 13:38 |
| bobeo | microwaved_: theres no space left, literally its telling me 0 bytes of space left | 13:38 |
| bobeo | and wow, the amount of config files chrome has o.o | 13:39 |
| microwaved_ | bobeo: will it allow you to search for big files? | 13:39 |
| adrian_1908 | snpresent: looks to me like it might just be a regular ISP subscriber. Could simply be crawling the web looking for insecure devices. If you have your firewall set up (e.g. GUFW in Ubuntu) to defaults, you shouldn't have to worry about it. | 13:39 |
| bobeo | microwaved_: My kernel files are GBs in size. Comparatively to the kbs of smaller files, they dwarf everything else | 13:40 |
| bobeo | but yes, it allows me the search | 13:40 |
| snpresent | adrian_1908, thank you for your advice!:) | 13:40 |

| leftyfb | bobeo: sorry, I'm just joining this morning. What exactly is the issue? | 13:46 |
| bobeo | cant remove old kernels filling up space in order to install updates, cant remove the kernel because its trying to force me to update an old kernel so I can remove it, but cant remove it because no space in /boot. Also cant manually remove old kernels from /boot, either through file manager, or command line with sudo apt-get remove, or sudo apt autoremove, as a regular user, or as root | 13:48 |

| bobeo | leftyfb: already tried that, first it tells me to use the -f option, then it tries to force me to install a 72.4Mb patch to an old kernel so I can remove kernels, which is why its failing, and why I cant remove old kernels | 13:49 |

| bobeo | blah! | 14:13 |
| bobeo | Hey everyone, sorry for the delays! I was messing around with it and realized it was a few issues. I really do appreciate all the help everyone gave me. The solution was to get rid of the old package headers and images manually, as it wasnt allowing me to use auto or remove via sudo dpkg --remove --force-depends linux-image-extra-4.13.0-32-generic | 14:14 |
| leftyfb | bobeo: You deleted the header files manually? | 14:15 |
| bobeo | leftyfb: the header files and the image files. Once I removed the offending file, 4.13.0-32, it allowed me to return to standard performance | 14:15 |
| leftyfb | bobeo: that was the wrong thing to do | 14:16 |
| leftyfb | now you've got packaged installed with it's files missing | 14:16 |
| Owner4u | brb | 14:16 |
| microwaved_ | yeah but thats easy to fix | 14:16 |
| leftyfb | bobeo: If you had responded to me with the information I asked for, I could have given you a few steps to fix it properly | 14:16 |
| microwaved_ | dpkg -l 'linux-*' | sed '/^ii/!d;/'"$(uname -r | sed "s/\(.*\)-\([^0-9]\+\)/\1/")"'/d;s/^[^ ]* [^ ]* \([^ ]*\).*/\1/;/[0-9]/!d' | 14:17 |
| microwaved_ | thats a way to show what kernels are registered | 14:17 |

| microwaved_ | some commands to analyse sudo apt-get clean; dpkg -l | grep linux-image | grep -v extra | 14:19 |
| microwaved_ | here's one you might want to note | 14:20 |

| adrian_1908 | too much help :D | 14:21 |
| bobeo | hey leftyfb I tried the script, which was really impressive btw, but it gave me the same error as before. I remember that someone mentioned try removing the headers manually, which I tried, but not with dpkg. Now that Ive removed the headers, and the image files, everything is working fine again. Im sure its not the "proper" way potentially, but it is working, and I can install packages again, and the first thing Im adding, pastebinit | 14:21 |
| microwaved_ | i just noted all these down because i made the same mistakes back in the day aswell i just create my own guide | 14:21 |
| bobeo | also, again I apologize for the mess all over chat I made manually posting. | 14:21 |
| === andyrock_ is now known as andyrock | ||
| microwaved_ | i'm not sure why leftyfb says its the wrong way to do it but i have been managing my ubuntu's for ages like that if something messed up but once you fix it just let it autoremove the kernels by using apt-get autoremove and autoclean | 14:22 |
| microwaved_ | there are more ways that lead to the same solution | 14:23 |
| bobeo | as for ill effects, I did run into issues installing updates initially, but I finished my dist-upgrade, and now Im able to install packages fine. But yes, the initial consequenes was issues being able to install packages, command line still worked fine for the most part though. | 14:23 |
| leftyfb | microwaved_: you can easily move some of the kernel files elsewhere temporarily, uninstall some of the other kernels/headers to make enough room, move the other kernel files back, then autoremove all remaining old kernels/headers | 14:24 |
| microwaved_ | yes so my point was fair aswell | 14:24 |
| microwaved_ | i think you just ment the same thing in the end. | 14:24 |
| leftyfb | it's the cleaner/proper way | 14:24 |
| bobeo | leftyfb: As for moving files, but it kept telling me permission denied, even though I was owner as root with rwx privs. That part I still dont understand | 14:24 |
| leftyfb | doesn't matter | 14:24 |
| microwaved_ | meh i don't want to call it that, its "another" way | 14:24 |
| leftyfb | moments over | 14:25 |
| microwaved_ | anyway moving on | 14:25 |
| microwaved_ | good luck bobeo, i hop we helped you | 14:25 |
| bobeo | you guys really did, thank you. The moment may be over, but we'll always have 4.13.0-32-generic | 14:25 |
| microwaved_ | its alwasys good to have 1 or 2 versions you can always go back a version | 14:26 |
| adrian_1908 | definitely | 14:28 |

| kratos123123 | Hi there ! anyone has a couple minutes to help me with a problem ? | 14:41 |
| pragmaticenigma | kratos123123: Please feel free to ask your question, all on one line, here in the chat room. If someone can help, they will respond here in the room. | 14:42 |
| kratos123123 | thanks, well I just used the "mv" command in a wrong way and after it I am not able to boot my system anymore | 14:43 |
| kratos123123 | to save the files is not important, but I am having some problems installing Ubuntu again | 14:44 |
| pragmaticenigma | kratos123123: can you explain what you mean by "installing Ubuntu again" ?? | 14:46 |
| kratos123123 | pragmaticenigma using the USB stick with the mounted ISO to reinstall Ubuntu | 14:48 |
| pragmaticenigma | What kind of issues are you running into? | 14:48 |
| tomreyn | kratos123123: what doesn't seem to be working then? | 14:52 |
| kratos123123 | I am trying to find a proper way to explain it, since English is not my mother language and it's a bit hard for me. So I used the MV command and turned out being a disaster, for example a normal directory path would be... : /var/bla/bla | 14:54 |
| kratos123123 | and I managed with the MV command to put some other directory before the /var/ ( it is just as an example ) , so basically I guess I destroyed the system, I cannot use any commands like apt-get , ls, etc etc | 14:55 |

| laboratory | so busy. | 14:56 |
| adrian_1908 | kratos123123: but basically, the recommendation would probably be that you just install a fresh Ubuntu over your current data, since saving the files is not that important to you. | 14:57 |

| coldpresent | hey all, I got a live usb of another distro, but update-grub did not find the usb. What do? | 15:22 |
| coldpresent | fdisk -l lists the usb as /dev/sdc, with /dev/sdc1 partition being the live distro | 15:23 |
| SporkWitch | i wouldn't expect update-grub to automatically add things from removable devices, sounds like asking for trouble. The correct way to boot from a removable device is via BIO/UEFI boot settings, boot from the external device | 15:24 |
| SporkWitch | *BIOS | 15:24 |
| coldpresent | i disabled secureboot, enabled legacy mode, allowed boot from usb, and changed boot order | 15:24 |
| SporkWitch | so the external / usb device is first in the order? | 15:25 |
| coldpresent | the only possible thing left is mokutil validation... will try and report back | 15:25 |
| SporkWitch | mok doesn't apply to legacy boot | 15:25 |
| SporkWitch | is the USB legacy or UEFI? | 15:25 |
| claudio__ | sygic | 15:25 |
| coldpresent | ah, usb has a /boot/grub/efiboot.img, so it should be UEFI right? | 15:26 |
| coldpresent | shall i try booting in UEFI mode? | 15:26 |
| SporkWitch | yup, and if it's ubuntu, it should support secureboot (if you want to use it) | 15:26 |
| SporkWitch | but definitely put it in UEFI boot mode, just maybe disable secureboot | 15:26 |
| coldpresent | is USB Disk on top, or is USB Rom on top? | 15:27 |
| coldpresent | I know OS Boot Manager should be below all USB boot options | 15:27 |
| adrian_1908 | coldpresent: you could also see if your mobo offers a boot selection menu on startup, I find that more convenient that shuffling around items in a list. | 15:27 |
| SporkWitch | gonna depend on your UEFI; i'd just put all the external device options at the top heh | 15:27 |
| SporkWitch | that too; my UEFI main screen will let me click the boot device i want to start from and it'll just continue booting from there, no settings change required | 15:28 |
| coldpresent | ah :( i have to press F10 to enter BIOS | 15:28 |
| coldpresent | gonna give it a try, thank you so much adrian_1908 and SporkWitch! | 15:29 |
| coldpresent | so uefi boot mode on, secureboot enabled, grub still does not detect usb live image | 15:39 |
| SporkWitch | coldpresent: if you're seeing the system's grub, it's not booting from the USB | 15:40 |
| coldpresent | SporkWitch: damn, shall try with another USB stick then | 15:40 |
| SporkWitch | coldpresent: i recommend Etcher for creating it; it's the one that i've found works reliably for creating bootable USBs | 15:41 |
| coldpresent | SporkWitch: i'm currently using `dd`, thanks for the recommendation, i'll give it a try | 15:45 |
| SporkWitch | dd and flash media DO NOT work as expected; the controller abstracts the physical layout of the drive | 15:45 |
| coldpresent | huh, ubuntu help pages say dd is reliable | 15:46 |
| SporkWitch | for USB? O.o | 15:46 |
| SporkWitch | flash, rather | 15:46 |
| === jcara_ is now known as jcara | ||
| SporkWitch | for an external HDD, sure, but not for flash media... | 15:46 |
| coldpresent | help page was talking about mkusb that uses dd under the hood | 15:47 |
| * JimBuntu has not had issues with DD and "flash" media. It's how I have made, literally, hundreds of SDs (if not well into the thousands at this point). But... I am lucky with some things. | 15:47 | |
| SporkWitch | i'm not sure there; i don't trust it with flash media. | 15:48 |

| pierre | I heard this distro changed its name | 15:54 |
| JimBuntu | pierre, which distro? Ubuntu? | 15:55 |
| coldpresent | so i just flashed a new usb stick with `dd`, no cigars | 15:56 |
| pierre | JimBuntu, to Crapbuntu | 15:56 |
| pierre | there were going to change it to posbuntu but changed it at the last minute | 15:57 |
| pierre | wanting it to be as bad as possible, they went with the new gnblome | 15:57 |
| pierre | this OS constantly freezes | 15:58 |
| pierre | rebooting the computer several times a day cuz of this | 15:58 |
| JimBuntu | pierre, If you want support, there are plenty here that could actually help you... if you only want to trash talk Ubuntu, please go to #ubuntu-discuss or #ubuntu-offtopic and I am sure there will be people to talk this over with | 15:59 |

| diskin | hi all, when I suspend my laptop (ubuntu 16.04) via system menu, nothing is added to /var/log/pm-suspend.log, but when I run sudo pm-suspend from command line, the log is being updated. Why is that? | 16:00 |
| humm8 | I am waiting for an 8K screen to become available, and want to use ubuntu(mate) on it. Will this hidpi screen be supported by all ubuntu flavours which are currently released? | 16:02 |
| leftyfb | humm8: I don't think you're going to get much help asking for support with technology which today isn't available | 16:04 |
| SporkWitch | humm8: that would depend on the availability of drivers and hardware support, not likely something that needs explicit support by the DE | 16:05 |
| coldpresent | so I tried etcher, still doesn't work | 16:05 |
| SporkWitch | coldpresent: something isn't being done right in your boot settings | 16:05 |
| coldpresent | there is a long black screen of about 7 seconds, before shim start | 16:06 |
| coldpresent | usually it's 3-5 seconds | 16:06 |
| SporkWitch | what distro is this? | 16:06 |
| humm8 | leftyfb: there are 8K screens available already, i am just waiting for the brand samsung to release one, as i think they have the greatest tft's. | 16:06 |
| coldpresent | voidlinux | 16:06 |
| SporkWitch | talk to them; sounds like something wrong with their ISO | 16:06 |
| coldpresent | but I also tried windows live usb, didn't work either | 16:06 |
| SporkWitch | coldpresent: if you want a control, download latest Kubuntu 18.04 AMD64 ISO, use etcher to make it. If it doesn't start, either something is wrong with your computer or your boot settings | 16:07 |
| SporkWitch | can confirm that combo works with secureboot enabled as of two weeks ago | 16:07 |
| coldpresent | SporkWitch: great, thanks | 16:07 |

| rain1 | I just updated my ubuntu and it goes to a black and white login screen instead of the normal one where it just starts up into desktop | 16:15 |
| YADW1 | Yes, yes, I was getting to that. People really can't hear premises nowdays, can they. Story is, on my ol' rusty laptop, when I switch to a text-only tty, it switches almost instantly, and that's okay. Curiously, though, it takes quite a while to switch back to tty7 (actually, it switches back right away, but the screen stays frozen for, say, ~7 seconds, then the pointer comes back). | 16:16 |

| Jerry__ | thanks | 16:18 |
| nacc | SporkWitch: ideally not about "Debian version..." here :) | 16:19 |
| tomreyn | rain1: also, which graphics card(s?) do you have there, which drivers are you using (if there are multiple available)? | 16:19 |
| YADW1 | BUT! When I plug in an external VGA monitor, it works perfectly, and I can go back and forth from tty(n) to tty7! And this, ladies and gentlemen, is when you call the Ghostbusters. Or, you write on the #ubuntu irc channel asking for clues. | 16:20 |
| tomreyn | rain1: and finally: which ubuntu version are you running (and if you upgraded, which one were you running before) | 16:20 |
| ash_worksi | I used chsh to /bin/bash and logout/in; but $SHELL still says /bin/sh | 16:23 |
| ash_worksi | what gives? | 16:23 |
| rain1 | its got a ugrl rat now as the desktop picture | 16:23 |
| nacc | ash_worksi: /bin/sh is a symlink | 16:25 |

| tomreyn | alternatively: readlink -f /bin/sh | 16:26 |

| Trel | nacc: cool, I'll check there, I have no idea what I'm doing with this so far | 16:34 |
| nacc | Trel: copying a binary (probably a *static* binary) is trivial with snaps. | 16:34 |
| SporkWitch | nacc: what's the deal with persistence, though? Admittedly i've only tried one, but when I installed the OpenTyrian snap, it ran fine, but it had no persistence. Settings and game saves were lost after closing and reopening the program | 16:35 |
| nacc | SporkWitch: fully depends on the snap and whether it is using ~/snap to save stuff, etc. | 16:36 |
| nacc | SporkWitch: so you'd have to ask the snap maintainer | 16:36 |
| SporkWitch | nacc: gotcha; was trivial to install the regular version from the repos, so i gave up fast, i had just figured i'd try out the snap lol | 16:36 |
| SporkWitch | nacc: (since it's a one-step process instead of two, since opentyrian requires getting the game data separately) | 16:37 |
| berwyn | Hi everyone in this chatroom. I use Linux Mint 18.3 but I am wanting to change over to Ubuntu because that operating system is more secure than L M and because there are not any free security programs available (yet) that are compatible or suitable for L M! | 16:40 |
| berwyn | So, because of that I have an obvious question to ask. My question is: Can Ubuntu 16.04 LTS be installed onto and run on a Toshiba Equium P200 (old?) laptop? | 16:40 |
| SporkWitch | berwyn: mint is based on ubuntu; security is comparable, as are available applications (pretty sure mint still uses the ubuntu repos...) | 16:40 |
| SporkWitch | berwyn: to your question, you'd be better off googling it; there are various lists of hardware and how good its linux support is. If Mint runs, odds are good ubuntu and its otehr derivatives will. That said, i've had poor experiences with toshiba and linux in general, due to some odd | 16:41 |
| SporkWitch | ACPI implementations breaking things. | 16:41 |
| SporkWitch | (odd on toshiba's side, not linux; FOSS tends to comply with the standards and RFCs, proprietary vendors are less reliable in this regard, heh) | 16:42 |
| Trel | nacc: you'd think so, but I've been trying for over a week now | 16:44 |
| nacc | Trel: then you didn't use the #snappy channel or snapcraft forums? | 16:45 |
| tomreyn | SporkWitch: i would disagree about LM's security being on par with Ubuntu's. Discussing this here would be wrong, I just think berwyn should know that others may share his point of view on this. | 16:45 |
| Trel | I didn't know about the channel until you just told me... | 16:46 |
| nacc | Trel: ok, well, the forum is linked multiple times from https://snapcraft.io/ | 16:46 |
| DJones | berwyn: I'd be tempted to try xubuntu or lubuntu for an older machine, wtih lower specs | 16:48 |
| === SimonNL_Afk is now known as SimonNL | ||
| berwyn | tomreyn: Hi and thanks for your reply. Also, I have been using L M for about 2 years or more after transferring over from Windows 7 and recently I have come to the conclusion that the free security for L M is either non-existent or not much after doing a lot of reading and searching on the subject! That is my main reason for asking my question!! : ) | 16:52 |
| berwyn | DJones: Hi, thanks for your reply and thanks for your suggestion of the 2 OSes to install and try on this laptop. But, your reply made me think of 1 question. My question is: Is Lubuntu and Xubuntu just as secure as Ubuntu and better secure than Linux Mint? : ) | 16:55 |
| SporkWitch | berwyn: the OS's themselves are comparable in terms of security; the issue he was referring to, and what has hurt Mint's reputation, is a breach a few months back that resulted in a compromised ISO being distributed from one or more of their mirrors. Normal sources were still fine, the problem was the compromised ISO on the site (e.g. if you already had Mint, you were fine, but anyone | 16:57 |
| SporkWitch | who downloaded THAT ISO before they caught it and replaced it would be vulnerable) | 16:57 |
| cr1mson_king | berwyn, what kind of security enhancement you're looking for? Antivirus programs don't do much nowadays. When I think of security, SELinux, AppArmor and sandboxing comes to mind, beyond what the OS has by default. But it depends on your threat model. | 16:57 |
| SporkWitch | this too ^ | 16:57 |
| DJones | berwyn: Can't say about Linux Mint, I've never used it, in theory its based on Ubuntu, but may have random changes. Ubuntu, Xubuntu and Lubuntu are all based on the same source code, so should have the same security settings. You would need to ask in linuxmint's supprt channel how it compares to the Ubuntu defaults, we wouldn't know that | 16:57 |
| berwyn | SporkWitch: Hi and thanks for your reply again. I also have a question: Was is DJones that you were referring to ("the issue he was referring to")? Also, I do know about the ISO being compromised a few months back, as I read about it, and thankfully I did need download the .iso at the time because I was using L M 17.3! : ) | 17:08 |
| SporkWitch | berwyn: yes | 17:10 |
| berwyn | cr1mson_king: Hi and thanks for your reply. Also, the kind of "security enhancement" that I am now looking for after a lot of reading and searching is a robust second line of defence free software program for L M or something similar or maybe a much more powerful free firewall for L M or a combination of both! : ) | 17:11 |

Also, I will not be visiting the Linux Mint help chatroom for quite a long time because I got angry and upset for the lack of help/support I received in there and feeling ignored in there awhile ago ("You would need to ask in linuxmint's support channel how it compares to the Ubuntu defaults, we wouldn't know that")! : ) | 17:17 |
| ioria | enough | 17:18 |
| DJones | berwyn: Fair enough, but for continued supprt here, you'll need to install a supprted version of Ubuntu | 17:18 |
| ioria | DJones, i think it's a bot | 17:19 |

| klemax | whats the reason of freezing after logout? | 17:31 |
| tomreyn | courrier: i think this code is not included in ubuntu's bash builds (i might be wrong, though, not sure). it's usually better to use netcat or other utilities to do networking in the shell. | 17:35 |

| berwyn | cr1mson_king, DJones and SporkWitch: Was already trying to find the answer to the "2018: Is the latest version of Ubuntu compatible for a Toshiba Equium laptop? after using Google but I have not tried to find the answer to the "2018: Can the latest version of Ubuntu be installed on older Toshiba laptops?" question yet! So, the question is: What website do I visit to find out or read the answer to the first question ("2018: Is the | 17:50 |
| berwyn | latest version of Ubuntu compatible for a Toshiba Equium laptop?")? : ( | 17:50 |
| nacc | berwyn: why not just put ubuntu on a live usb and try? | 17:52 |
| oerheks | you already run mint, so ubuntu should be no issue | 17:52 |
| oerheks | and Toshiba Equium is a brand, not a model | 17:52 |
| oerheks | could be ton s of different hardware | 17:53 |

| besi | Tomreyn: how install taht can not find in the ubuntu Software Center ?? | 17:59 |
| berwyn | oreheks: Hi and thanks for your reply again. Also, I am sure that you are aware: Linux Mint has been built to run on older laptops. But, I am not sure about Ubuntu and that is why I asked my original question earlier. Also, I am sure that you are aware that I included "P200" after "Toshiba Equium" because that is the model name - the full model number concerned is: PSPB5E-003004KS! Thanks again : ) | 18:00 |

| berwyn | Ool: Hi and thanks for your reply. Also, I use the Cinnamon desktop environment for Linux Mint which is an easy to use Windows-like environment and I am using a Windows XP theme. So, I have to ask you a question: Does Ubuntu include a Windows-like desktop environment or an easy to use desktop environment? Also, another question which no person has answered yet: Is Lubuntu (and maybe Kubuntu) just as secure as Ubuntu?Please answer | 18:21 |

But, I still have a question that no one has answered yet and as soon as I have received a answer I will, probably, leave this chatroom (unless someone else interrupts my chat again)!

| Gnjurac | how if i have .deb package can i install all dependicys for it whiitout installing package? | 18:39 |
| SporkWitch | Gnjurac: seems an odd requirement; why would you need the deps if you don't want the thing that depends on them? | 18:39 |
| geirha | Gnjurac: sudo apt install package.deb | 18:39 |
| geirha | oh without installing the package itself, nevermind | 18:39 |
| SporkWitch | geirha: he said _without_ installing the package itself; yeah, really odd requirement | 18:40 |
| nacc | Gnjurac: can you describe your use case? | 18:40 |
| Gnjurac | my app is crashing cuz missing dependecsy i think | 18:41 |
| SporkWitch | Gnjurac: assumping you installed the deb properly, and without --force, it should install the deps automatically; if it's missing deps after that, it indicates that the maintainer didn't list all the deps | 18:42 |
| nacc | Gnjurac: what app? something you wrote, or an ubuntu package? | 18:42 |
| SporkWitch | *assuming | 18:42 |
| Gnjurac | i dident install deb i installed form script.sh | 18:42 |
| Gnjurac | Unity3d | 18:42 |
| Gnjurac | but there is Unity3d.deb package too but i dont want to install whole unity3d again i just want dependeciys | 18:43 |
| SporkWitch | Gnjurac: start over from the beginning, what is your end goal, what did you do, what failed and how. | 18:43 |
| nacc | Gnjurac: then you'd need to figure out what dependencies it has | 18:43 |
| SporkWitch | !xy | Gnjurac | 18:43 |
| ubottu | Gnjurac: The XY problem is when you need to do X, and you think you can use Y to do X, so you ask about how to do Y, when what you really should do is state what your X problem is. There may be a Z solution that is even better than Y, but nobody can suggest it if X is never mentioned. | 18:43 |
| nacc | Gnjurac: also, there is no unity3d deb in ubuntu, so this is all third party stuff? | 18:43 |

| andrew_ | is this fake? respond if its real | 18:47 |
| Gnjurac | nacc: is LDD to list libs requred or what i frogot | 18:48 |
| Ankhep | No andrew_ xD | 18:48 |
| Gnjurac | or was LDD for preloading libs | 18:48 |
| nacc | Gnjurac: we don't support third party stuff in the channel. As to your question, no there is not a trivial way to do that to a .deb. You could extract the .deb (dpkg -x) and see what is listed in the control file. | 18:48 |
| andrew_ | oh | 18:48 |
| Ankhep | Just an illusion | 18:48 |
| nacc | Gnjurac: ldd will tell you what libraries a dynamic executable expects to load. | 18:48 |
| andrew_ | i dont understand | 18:48 |
| SporkWitch | berwyn: K for KDE replacing the GTK / unity stuff, but otherwise it's ubuntu (and uses the same repos; it even used to be official canonical, but is pure community now). Lubundu uses LXDE, i think? Same deal otherwise. | 18:48 |

| wasted | anyone who can tell me why mariadb is used instead of mysql in most articles about 18.04 ? | 19:36 |
| Jimmy06 | because mysql is not free any more | 19:36 |
| Jimmy06 | so was switch years ago to mariadb | 19:36 |
| SporkWitch | wasted: because mariadb is a FOSS implementation, and Oracle likes to sue people for using stuff they made FOSS years ago | 19:36 |
| theGoat | mysql community is still free isn't it? | 19:36 |
| RoadRunner | SporkWitch: software lists, Samba and Smb4K as options. Would you recommend something else, or are these two bug free enough to be fine under 18? | 19:36 |
| SporkWitch | RoadRunner: i'd recommend webdav over SMB; i refuse to support it, it's too much headache | 19:36 |
| wasted | so mariadb will work the same as mysql ? | 19:37 |
| Jimmy06 | yes | 19:37 |
| Southern_Gentlem | theGoat, yes but most of that is already in mariadb | 19:37 |
| SporkWitch | RoadRunner: as far as bugs, i'm not aware of anything serious, SMB is just a nightmare to set up, especially in anything but an "anyone can access" mode | 19:37 |

| Jimmy06 | so the setup window has a subnet box with example 192.168.9.0/24 | 19:38 |
| Jimmy06 | if i use 255.255.255.0 this would be correct right ? | 19:38 |
| theGoat | correct, a /24 is 255.255.255.0 | 19:39 |
| SporkWitch | !info mariadb-server | wasted | 19:39 |
| ubottu | wasted: mariadb-server (source: mariadb-10.1): MariaDB database server (metapackage depending on the latest version). In component universe, is optional. Version 1:10.1.29-6 (bionic), package size 12 kB, installed size 63 kB | 19:39 |
| Jimmy06 | so mypublicip.0/24 | 19:39 |
| RoadRunner | SporkWitch: any issues with Samba? | 19:39 |
| SporkWitch | and of course it doesn't give the description; i give up. wasted: mariadb is from the original mysql devs, and it's designed to be a drop-in replacement for mysql (that is, unless you're doing something funky, it _should_ "just work" with anything that supports mysql) | 19:40 |
| theGoat | jimmy06: you aren't doing any natting? ie not behind a broadband router/firewall, etc | 19:40 |
| Jimmy06 | no theGoat | 19:40 |
| oerheks | LoLz ... tons of bugs with smb, and it is slóóóówww | 19:40 |
| SporkWitch | RoadRunner: yeah, it's a nightmare, it's miserable, and it's not worth the headache. Like i said, i refuse to support it; you're welcome to seek help from others, but i won't waste my time, it's too much frustration. | 19:40 |

| Jimmy06 | its /29 | 19:42 |
| Jimmy06 | 255.255.255.0 | 19:42 |
| theGoat | ah /29 | 19:42 |
| Luke | SporkWitch: unfortunately that doesn't work when the channel isn't named after the topic :/ | 19:42 |
| Jimmy06 | so as an example 86.34.65.123/29 | 19:42 |
| Jimmy06 | sorry | 19:43 |
| Jimmy06 | .0 | 19:43 |
| Jimmy06 | 86.34.65.0/29 | 19:43 |

| Jimmy06 | but this hangs and times out even thought its correct | 19:44 |
| Jimmy06 | with the gateway added of course | 19:44 |
| blackflow | mackey: /opt/firefox? that's not regular ubuntu package'd firefox, is it? | 19:44 |
| SporkWitch | Luke: my mistake, i didn't realize that snap wasn't in the name snapcraft or snappy; the problem is the user, not the tool | 19:44 |
| Jimmy06 | gateway by the way is not in the same subnet (this is intended and works fine) | 19:44 |
| Luke | SporkWitch: snap != snapcraft | 19:44 |
| SporkWitch | Luke: != ubuntu, either | 19:45 |
| Luke | SporkWitch: canonical made snapcraft | 19:45 |
| mackey | blackflow: is this the wrong channel to ask? | 19:45 |
| SporkWitch | Luke: and actually, from the first google hit, yes, snap == snappy == snapcraft | 19:45 |
| Luke | no | 19:45 |
| blackflow | mackey: looks like unsupported software, so I'd say yup, wrong chan. | 19:45 |

| ubottu | Ubuntu Core is a rendition of Ubuntu with transactional updates using "snappy". For discussion and support, please visit #snappy and see http://www.ubuntu.com/snappy/ | 19:45 |
| Luke | snapcraft is for building snaps. snap is more like the package manager portion | 19:45 |
| blackflow | and snappy is a distro | 19:46 |
| SporkWitch | Luke: well then go cry to canonical, instead of blaming your laziness on perfectly functional tools | 19:46 |
| oerheks | mackey, how did you install firefox? | 19:46 |
| blackflow | they aren't the same. | 19:46 |
| oerheks | and what version? | 19:46 |
| Luke | blackflow: thanks | 19:46 |
| Luke | SporkWitch: whoa take it easy. just discussing here. lets not get into name calling please | 19:46 |
| mackey | oerheks: according to this info, 32 bit version: https://www.tecmint.com/install-firefox-quantum-in-linux/ | 19:46 |
| SporkWitch | Luke: lazy isn't a name, it's an accurate descriptor | 19:46 |
| blackflow | Luke: there's maximum confusion around that, though. it's Canonical's but Canonical doesn't want it to be just their. the usual NIH. see, even the bot has no factoids on snaps. | 19:47 |
| SporkWitch | blackflow: snapcraft is the site, snappy is the package manager, snaps are the packages | 19:47 |
| Luke | blackflow: good point | 19:47 |
| oerheks | mackey, so you used that ppa? ubuntu alrady has FF 60, that ppa is not supported here | 19:48 |
| mackey | problem is firefox does not run | 19:48 |
| ioria | really | 19:49 |
| RoadRunner | SporkWitch: regarding snaps, are they updated independently or as a part of the Software updater system? | 19:49 |
| oerheks | remove that ppa and reverse packages, and you should be fine | 19:49 |
| SporkWitch | mackey: but you aren't using the ubuntu-packaged version, ergo unsupported. Install from the official repos if you want support here, otherwise you'll need to contact the PPA maintainer | 19:49 |
| oerheks | RoadRunner, you know the answer already, hence your detailed question :-D | 19:49 |
| gambl0re | hello? | 19:49 |
| SporkWitch | RoadRunner: there's package management for them, but i haven't used them much. The only one i used was opentyrian and it had no persistence, so i tossed it out and went back to debs as normal lol | 19:49 |
| oerheks | i noticed you do that a lot the last few days | 19:50 |

| gambl0re | hello? | 19:54 |
| Amphaeon | hello everyone, Im new to openstack and wanted to try out a proof of concept. I followed the instructions on ubuntu web page and have tried to utilize conjure-up. I am having a hard time when it seems like it should be easy. | 19:54 |
| Amphaeon | I have a huge log, but not sure where to start with the errors. | 19:55 |
| blackflow | SporkWitch: I guess the bot needs a factoid correction, and addition. other than "snappy" (suggesting it's a distro), it has no more info. | 19:55 |
| SporkWitch | blackflow: i'm going from the main page of snapcraft.io which refers to the snappy package manager, and snaps (the packages) | 19:55 |
| SporkWitch | blackflow: it's literally the first google hit for "snapcraft" | 19:56 |
| SporkWitch | (well, DDG, not google) | 19:56 |
| blackflow | SporkWitch: there's also snapcraft the package (I think it's SDK/framework to build them) | 19:57 |
| blackflow | and snapcraft(.net) the MMORGP tha has nothing to do with this. yah, maximum confusion. | 19:57 |
| blackflow | !snapcraft | 19:57 |
| RoadRunner | SporkWitch: regarding webdav, from what I just read, its a protocol - not an end user app; so what application using webdav would you recommend? | 19:57 |
| SporkWitch | RoadRunner: it was a sarcastic response; it's not ideal for file sharing; the point was "use anything but SMB, that's how miserable SMB is" | 19:58 |
| blackflow | oh srsly? the bot doens't know about snapcraft package? which database is it accessing? https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/snapcraft | 19:58 |
| Luke | blackflow: yeah I don't think snappy and snapcraft are the same thing. There's no mention of snappy on the snapcraft website that I was easily able to find | 19:58 |
| SporkWitch | except for "snappy" being the first word in the description of snapcraft.io when you search "snapcraft" | 19:59 |
| memphisto | Amphaeon: i don't think youll find someone here with openstack && conjure up knowledge...its mostly desktop stuff; try looking for conjure irc or forum | 19:59 |
| blackflow | Luke: one is the package manager (tool to manipulate snaps), the other is a) a game, b) a site/store/repo for snaps, and c) an sdk/framework to build snaps | 19:59 |
| Luke | blackflow: the snapcraft I'm talking about is the tool to make snaps. | 20:00 |
| blackflow | Luke: this then https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/snapcraft | 20:00 |
| RoadRunner | besides smb based apps, what specific aps can be recommended for Windows shares? | 20:00 |
| Luke | blackflow: "snappy ubuntu core is a distribution of Ubuntu that relies entirely on snaps" from the snapcraft guys | 20:00 |
| memphisto | Luke, blackflow: the way i see it...snapcraft is like dockerhub like where you find images; snappy is like apt; .snap is like .deb | 20:01 |
| Amphaeon | Hello all, Im trying to spin up a localhost instance of openstack on ubuntu 18.04 utilizing conjure-up, can anyone assist in looking at my log? | 20:01 |
| blackflow | memphisto: yah but snapcraft is also a toolset that builds .snap(s) | 20:01 |
| Luke | memphisto: well snapcraft is also a CLI tool for building snaps. And yeah it's also the repo | 20:01 |
| Luke | you can use snap and snapcraft without snappy | 20:01 |

| syb0rg | you can argue or just state your problem again | 20:25 |
| Jimmy06 | simply put no matter what I select on the network part of the installer I cant get paste it | 20:25 |
| Jimmy06 | im not arguing | 20:25 |
| Jimmy06 | that image is when I select "do not use" to both ipv4 and pv6 | 20:26 |
| Jimmy06 | even if I put valid settings in to the ipv4 box it fails with that error | 20:27 |

| Jimmy06 | yes I have and it fails | 20:30 |
| tomreyn | with the error message of "network configuration timed out; please verify your settings"? | 20:30 |
| Jimmy06 | says that even with valid settings | 20:30 |
| tomreyn | is this vm able to reach the internet with the valid configuration? | 20:31 |
| Jimmy06 | of course :) | 20:31 |
| tomreyn | how do you know? | 20:31 |
| Jimmy06 | because its the same as the other 5 VM's running on it | 20:31 |
| Jimmy06 | with the same network settings | 20:32 |
| SporkWitch | if it's the same, why not clone one of the functional ones? | 20:32 |
| tomreyn | and the others also run ubuntu 18.04 server? | 20:32 |
| Jimmy06 | no 16.04 and centos | 20:32 |
| tomreyn | use the classic server installer, it'll work. | 20:32 |
| syb0rg | what installer is this anyway Jimmy06? | 20:33 |
| tomreyn | 18.04 server live installer | 20:33 |
| Jimmy06 | yeah I just clicked download I dont need a live installedr | 20:33 |
| syb0rg | that installer looks like this for me https://i.imgur.com/ajBgDCT.png | 20:34 |

| syb0rg | is the live version supposed to be easier to use or something? | 20:38 |
| Jimmy06 | yeah i downloaded it all ready thanks | 20:38 |
| Jimmy06 | I suspect its so you only download what you need | 20:38 |

| syb0rg | ok tomreyn, good to know. I'm surprised Canonical cares that much about user friendliness in even the server edition - the classic installer is pretty straightforward already | 20:39 |
| kiriuha | start linux mint | 20:39 |
| tomreyn | !mint | kiriuha | 20:39 |

| Jimmy06 | https://i.imgur.com/3HRWqpk.png this is an annoying error | 20:47 |
| syb0rg | Jimmy06, just a thought - do you have networking enabled in the vm's settings? | 20:48 |
| Jimmy06 | yep | 20:49 |
| Jimmy06 | i get that same error in 16.04 | 20:49 |
| Jimmy06 | set the gateway up afterwards and it works fine | 20:49 |
| syb0rg | weird. | 20:49 |
| Jimmy06 | gateway is not in the same subnet | 20:50 |
| syb0rg | perhaps #networking would be a good place to ask? | 20:50 |
| Jimmy06 | for what ? | 20:50 |
| Jimmy06 | only ubuntu complains about it | 20:51 |
| syb0rg | I mean you are having networking problems, maybe someone over there would have a thought. That's all. But it does seem to be ubuntu specific | 20:51 |
| Jimmy06 | im not hav ng any networking problems | 20:51 |

| Jimmy06 | my network works fine just the ubuntu installer doesnt like it :) | 20:52 |
| Allie` | syb0rg: this isn’t necessarily a networking problem, there are valid times to configure an unrouteable gateway - having said that, Jimmy06 is unlikely to be experiencing one of those scenarios | 20:52 |
| Allie` | Jimmy06: what option did you select, and how are you connected? | 20:52 |
| Allie` | hang on i’ll read scrollback first | 20:53 |
| syb0rg | Allie`, I didn't even mean to imply that his networking setup is invalid. Just that people in #networking might know how to make ubuntu cooperate with his setup, as they have experience with such things | 20:53 |
| Allie` | makes sense! | 20:54 |
| Jimmy06 | I am using the router and broadcast IP's from my /28 this means they end up having a /24 | 20:54 |
| Jimmy06 | yeah it does just annoying | 20:54 |
| Jimmy06 | hmm gonna have to work out how to configure this new interface the new way :) | 20:57 |
| syb0rg | huh that live server installer is pretty slick, but still seems redundant to me. I guess it is cool to get someone started on running servers though | 21:00 |
| tomreyn | i ran into this issue where the gateway was outside of the subnet and i needed to use a pointopoint configuration to make it work. this wasn't possible on the classic (debian) installer (and i assume it is not possible on the live installer either). it works fine once the system is installed, though. i needed to resort to a debootstrpap installation to make it work. | 21:01 |
| tomreyn | (it's a rather ugly network configuration, though) | 21:01 |

| Jimmy06 | tomreyn: I just add the default gateway noremally | 21:06 |
| Jimmy06 | but this netplan doesnt like it | 21:07 |
| tomreyn | Jimmy06: so that's on the readily installed system? | 21:09 |
| Jimmy06 | centos or ubuntu 16.04 yes | 21:09 |
| Jimmy06 | just add the gateway and done | 21:09 |
| Jimmy06 | centos I could do it in the installer ubuntu I have to do it after but this 18.04 still wont apply my gateway even afterwards | 21:10 |
| tomreyn | Jimmy06: netplan is still a bit young, it might (i do not actually know) not allow the default gateway to be outside of the subnet. | 21:10 |
| Jimmy06 | i added gateway: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx to the file and restart/applied but no go | 21:10 |
| Jimmy06 | gateway4: sorry | 21:11 |
| jcdutton | tomreyn, "default gateway to be outside of the subnet". I think you might be a bit confused | 21:11 |
| tomreyn | you're not required to use netplan, though, can just edit the systemd-networkd configuration directly | 21:11 |
| grauzikas | Hello every one :) | 21:12 |
| tomreyn | jcdutton: how so? | 21:12 |
| jcdutton | tomreyn, it makes no sense. A gateway is always on the same subnet as your PC. | 21:12 |
| Jimmy06 | jcdutton: its not | 21:12 |
| jcdutton | What is the IP address of the PC, what is the IP address of the gateway. What is the subnet mask ? | 21:14 |
| tomreyn | jcdutton: not always, no. eg. this hosting provider does it differently: https://wiki.hetzner.de/index.php/Netzkonfiguration_Debian/en#Routed_.28brouter.29 | 21:14 |
| Jimmy06 | thats who im using actually lol | 21:15 |
| tomreyn | thought so, it's a rare corner case, and a terrible setup | 21:15 |
| tomreyn | jcdutton: better docs here https://wiki.hetzner.de/index.php/Netzkonfiguration_Debian/en | 21:15 |
| tomreyn | actually ignore that, that'S the same page :) | 21:16 |
| Jimmy06 | I dont have to use it like that I just decided to get the router/broadcast ip back | 21:16 |
| jcdutton | tomreyn, ok, thats OK, I did not know you were using a pointtopoint link | 21:18 |
| Jimmy06 | pointtopoint link ? | 21:19 |
| grauzikas | i have problem with opendkim and openssl, trying to figure out where the problem could be past few hours and cant find the problem. The problem is that opendkim wont start with error: opendkim[26979]: opendkim: incompatible SSL versions (library = 0x0100020bf, filter = 01000204f). So i started with default (from packages installed) openssl and opendkim and i got this problem, then i thougth | 21:20 |
| grauzikas | ok i can compile openssl from source and did that. Curently i have: | 21:20 |
| grauzikas | https://pastebin.com/sVzfXA0u | 21:20 |
| tomreyn | jcdutton: np, i think i mentioned it above. the problem is that neither debian installer (classic ubuntu installer) nor subiquity (ubuntu live) can handle this configuration, though. | 21:20 |
| Jimmy06 | neither can netplan | 21:20 |
| grauzikas | dont know where else i can find what the **** wrong :) | 21:20 |
| jcdutton | tomreyn, you are probably right, it is quite a rare configuration | 21:20 |
| grauzikas | i even created a bug in opendkim, but they answered that probably this is not opendkim bug | 21:21 |
| tomreyn | Jimmy06: chances are that systemd-networkd can handle it, so forget about netplan for now (maybe file a feature request) and just use systemd-networkd directly. | 21:21 |
| jcdutton | tomreyn, during the install, you will probably need to manually do the network config, in order for the install to work. | 21:24 |
| tomreyn | jcdutton: it would not accept a gateway outside of the subnet (which was a single ipv4) | 21:25 |
| tomreyn | it would also not accept a netmask of 0.0.0.0 (i tried this in an attempt to at least be able to install with network connectivity) | 21:26 |
| Jimmy06 | 255.255.255.255 does | 21:27 |
| tomreyn | that's what i had tried first, but it said the configuration was illegal (due to the default gateway resising outside of this single ip subnet) | 21:27 |
| tomreyn | anyways. | 21:27 |
| Jimmy06 | oh I just set it u without a gateway | 21:28 |
| tomreyn | this was 16.04, i think, might have changed. | 21:28 |
| jcdutton | tomreyn, could you not drop to the command line and use ifconfig ? | 21:28 |
| tomreyn | jcdutton: i thionk i tried but failed, can't remember, it's a good while ago. | 21:29 |

| oerheks | yunogimmeusernam, step 5 ?? https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-to-use-kvm-cloud-images-on-ubuntu-linux/ | 21:57 |
| tomreyn | grauzikas: the root issue will be that you're not using libssl from ubuntu | 21:57 |
| yunogimmeusernam | I think I need a preseed | 21:57 |
| guest253 | hey guys, whats the best, secure and lightest program to make partitions backups and that includes a test option for the created iso? | 21:57 |
| yunogimmeusernam | oerheks, I don't think that's applicable | 21:57 |
| skr | oerheks, thanks but i've already tried it. it keeps restarting. I found a workaround here https://askubuntu.com/questions/8425/how-to-temporarily-disable-pulseaudio | 21:58 |
| BlueProtoman | I'm trying to use the nvidia drivers on Ubuntu 18.04, with a nVidia GeForce GTX 860M. Although `prime-select query` outputs `nvidia`, nvidia-smi fails with "NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running." I can't use CUDA, then. How can I fix this? | 21:59 |
| grauzikas | tomreyn: what you mean not from ubuntu? how i can fix this issue? | 22:00 |
| guest253 | whats the best, secure and lightest program to make partitions backups and that includes a test option for the created iso? | 22:01 |
| oerheks | guest253, there is no single best; i would use live iso and install clonezilla, else use dd | 22:03 |
| oerheks | and a test option for the backup partitions? note sure that exists | 22:04 |
| Jordan_U | guest253: Those criterion are subjective, and things like "security" depend more on how you use the program than what program you use. Also, I'm not sure what test you could run, other than booting the image in a VM (and I don't think there's any tool that will do that, and it's not straightforward to do manually). | 22:04 |
| oerheks | just diff the data | 22:04 |
| tomreyn | grauzikas: based on what you posted you, have libssl1.0.2 installed from the deb.sury.org 3rd party repository for ubuntu trusty (14.04) on this ubuntu xenial (16.04) system. fix your apt sources. | 22:04 |
| tomreyn | grauzikas: if that's not enough hints, yet, then post the output of: lsb_releass -ds; apt-cache policy | 22:06 |
| tomreyn | grauzikas: if that's not enough hints, yet, then post the output of: lsb_release -ds; apt-cache policy | 22:07 |
| tomreyn | ^ typo fixed | 22:07 |
| guest253 | the test option is very important to check if the image was done correctly before I delete the partition in case I need it. r-drive image for win has that option which I check with every backup | 22:07 |
| oerheks | explore clonezilla | 22:07 |
| guest253 | but clonezilla only works from live-cd, right? | 22:08 |
| Jordan_U | guest253: The question is what it is testing. If it's just testing a checksum of the data, you can do that (I don't know if clonezilla has an option for this or not). | 22:09 |
| arooni | is this anything i can fix by the installation of a package ? libpng warning: Application jmp_buf size changed; fish: “./GuitarPro” terminated by signal SIGSEGV (Address boundary error) (ubuntu 18.04) | 22:09 |
| grauzikas | tomreyn: https://pastebin.com/Zaj7vzb0 | 22:10 |
| oerheks | you would get "skip checking the saved image" option | 22:10 |
| grauzikas | i cant see this source in my repo | 22:10 |
| grauzikas | probably need try to remove that lib and install again? | 22:11 |
| Jordan_U | guest253: If you're booting from the partition that you're trying to back up then you can't back it up using clonezilla. While there are ways to backup a live system in this way, I would not recommend them for a beginner. | 22:11 |
| tomreyn | guest253: i'm not aware of an existing software doing this, but there most likely is one. what you can do it to write it yourself. you can use lvm snapshotting to create a stable snapshot of the partition (or logical volume in this case), then egnerate a checksum on this, then dd it to a file, then run the checksum against this file, too, and compare them. and if they match you can drop the snapshot (and optionally the live logical volume, too) | 22:12 |
| guest253 | not sure what it checks, the integrity of the image I guess, but the test option its safer for me | 22:12 |
| Jordan_U | guest253: If you're not booted from the partition, then just unmount the partition being backed up before backing it up with clonezilla and you'll be fine. In that case clonezilla would not need to be run from a LiveCD/USB. | 22:13 |
| tomreyn | arooni: probably not, but to be sure you'd need to ask the developers (or run it in a debugger and understand its output). | 22:13 |
| arooni | tomreyn: reass i ask is because it ran fine on ubuntu 16.04 | 22:13 |
| tomreyn | grauzikas: looks like you removed the repository but not the package. you can identify such packages (where there is a ismatch between the actual version installed and the version availablöe from the currentöly configured apt archives) using this script: https://github.com/tomreyn/scripts -> foreign_packages | 22:15 |
| tomreyn | arooni: this doesn't mean it will run on a different ubuntu verison, too. | 22:16 |
| arooni | tomreyn: well i thought itd simply be a missing library | 22:16 |
| grauzikas | tomreyn: i can try something like this: dpkg -r --force-depends libssl-dev libssl-doc libssl1.0.2 (this is wahat i found via: dpkg -l | grep deb.sury.org about ssl) and then try install this packages back? | 22:16 |
| RedPenguin | hello again all | 22:17 |
| tomreyn | arooni: i dont think so. you seem to have libpng installed, the application is just not compatible to this version. | 22:17 |
| guest253 | in windows I use r-drive image which works perfectly and has that test option. once done the test, Im happy to save the iso on an external drive just in case I may need it if I have any problem with the system. im used to it, so I thot there could be a backup program similar on linux | 22:17 |
| RedPenguin | On a machine I'm working on, after a kernel update, the second NIC thinks it's "FIBRE" and not Ethernet, and not sure how to realize it's Ethernet again | 22:17 |
| arooni | tomreyn: tragic; they announced they wont support future releases on linux; so i'm kinda just outta luck at this point | 22:17 |
| tomreyn | grauzikas: it'd be better to just downgrade the packages, which is done by installing, and installing a specific version - the one your current ubuntu release provides. | 22:18 |
| tomreyn | arooni: you can still run it in a 16.04 VM or chroot. | 22:18 |
| oerheks | arooni, maybe this german page is any help? https://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/guitar-pro-6-auf-xubuntu-18-04-64-bit-installi/ | 22:19 |
| arooni | tomreyn: i get the vm but what do you mean chroot ; | 22:19 |
| oerheks | our german friends are pünktlich | 22:19 |
| arooni | looks like there wasnt a resolution from that thread | 22:20 |
| grauzikas | tomreyn: thank you very much :) now i have the idea where the problem can be | 22:21 |
| tomreyn | grauzikas: welcome | 22:21 |
| tomreyn | grauzikas: make yourself aware that you've been running this system with outdated openssl libraries for a good while now. that's not a safe thing to do, so try to prevent this isutation in the future. | 22:23 |
| tomreyn | *situation | 22:23 |
| tomreyn | !chroot | arooni | 22:24 |
| ubottu | arooni: A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot | 22:24 |
| tomreyn | ^ using a VM is probably easier, though | 22:24 |
| arooni | how much space would a simple 16.04 installation take up | 22:25 |
| arooni | or the minimal installation | 22:25 |
| arooni | thinking of my existing hard drive space on this laptop | 22:26 |
| tomreyn | arooni: a desktop installation? something between 5 and 10 GB, i'd say. | 22:27 |
| spikebike | arooni: a simple server install is around 1.0GB, but of course doesn't include all the desktop stuff | 22:29 |
| arooni | silly guitar pro; they should just make future releases for ubuntu | 22:30 |
| arooni | i bet i could install it on my existing winxp vm; (blarg)) | 22:30 |
| oerheks | MS should buy it | 22:30 |
| oerheks | oops offtopic | 22:30 |
| berwyn | Hi to everyone in this chatroom. I (Welshman not berwyn) have returned to ask another question. | 22:30 |
| berwyn | My question is: Does anyone know if Nwipe or Wipe is the correct program to completely wipe a hard drive or would I need to find an .iso of a wipe program to completely wipe a hard drive that, at the moment, has Linux Mint installed? | 22:31 |
| berwyn | Thanks in advance for any helpful answer or reply! : ) | 22:31 |
| oerheks | berwyn, hi again: ask the mint channels? | 22:31 |
| guest253 | is guitar pro any good compared to the audio apps on win like amplitube and the king s-gear? | 22:31 |
| oerheks | ubuntu has nothing to do with mint, mint has its own issues. | 22:32 |
| tomreyn | arooni: i just checked the unmodified 16.04.4 installation i have in a VM, it consumes exactly 4.4GB | 22:32 |
| arooni | ok thanks for checking :) | 22:32 |
| tomreyn | berwyn: alternatively, install ubuntu and come back here with your ubuntu (only) questions. | 22:34 |
| guest253 | btw, whats the lightest ubuntu derivative nowadays? | 22:35 |
| eyeoh | lubuntu probably | 22:35 |
| berwyn | oerheks: Hi and thanks for your reply. Also, it will be a whole year before I return to the linuxmint-help chatroom because some of the people angered and upset me as well as ignored me! So, that is why I have entered this chatroom to ask about NWipe and Wipe!! Thanks again. : ) | 22:35 |
| tomreyn | arooni: do you know http://www.tuxguitar.com.ar/ ? | 22:35 |
| guest253 | is tuxguitar any good? | 22:36 |
| berwyn | Staying here until I receive an answer and I might have to re-send my message. Thank you : ) | 22:36 |
| guest253 | I know all the guitar amps emulators on win but never bothered trying any on linux | 22:37 |
| tomreyn | guest253: i don't really know, but it's appartenly similar to the application arooni tried to run, and it's free software (gpl2.1), so source code will be available which facilitates buulding it on newer ubuntu releases. | 22:38 |
| berwyn | Hope that is okay with you? : ) | 22:39 |
| guest253 | ok | 22:39 |
| tomreyn | berwyn: no one here will mind your presence unless you will ask support questions which are not about ubuntu. | 22:40 |
| yunogimmeusernam | Hey, I'm trying to use the latest docker image, but when I set up (python3 I think) a package using apt, tzdata feels like it needs to get user input and pause forever for picking a time zone. Can I make it not do this somehow? | 22:42 |
| berwyn | tomreyn: Hi and thanks for your reply. Also, can you answer my "Does anyone know if Nwipe or Wipe is the correct program to completely wipe a hard drive or would I need to find an .iso of a wipe program to completely wipe a hard drive that, at the moment, has Linux Mint installed?" question? If you can or do then please reply soon. Thanks again : ) | 22:43 |
| tomreyn | berwyn: did you read what i wrote? | 22:44 |
| oerheks | he is more like a bot than humanoid | 22:45 |
| arooni | tomreyn: cool ill look into it; i already have the guitarpro files. and bonus points for software from argentina one of my fave countries | 22:45 |
| yunogimmeusernam | oerheks, of course it's a test of an Ubuntu-based AI system | 22:46 |
| oerheks | from github? | 22:46 |
| syb0rg | berwyn, you can just use shred. | 22:46 |
| syb0rg | to shred /dev/sda, it is just sudo shred /dev/sda | 22:47 |
| hggdh | berwyn: you can use shred | 22:47 |
| berwyn | tomreyn: Yes, I did. But thought I would ask you just incase you knew the answer. If you cannot then I will re-ask my question again soon! Thanks : ) | 22:47 |
| syb0rg | see the manpage or google for options if you want to make it behave in a specific way (number of passes, type of data written) | 22:47 |
| oerheks | hggdh, + from live cd + 1 | 22:48 |
| hggdh | berwyn: also: please give *at least* fifteen minutes before you re-ask a question. Re-asking more frequently is not nice. | 22:48 |
| berwyn | hggdh and syb0rg: Hi and thanks for your reply. Also: Does or will shred completely wipe the hard drive? Answer or reply soon. Thanks again : ) | 22:49 |
| yunogimmeusernam | so apparently `yes 11 | apt install -y python3` still doesn't select the SystemV time | 22:49 |
| hggdh | oerheks: yes, it is coreutils, any install will have it (including live) | 22:49 |
| yunogimmeusernam | also, I thought it was systemd | 22:49 |
| syb0rg | yes, berwyn. It will erase all data on the drive by overwriting it. | 22:50 |
| tomreyn | berwyn: whether i know the answer to your question is not relevant, you keep asking a question about linux mint, but we don't support this here. | 22:50 |
| hggdh | berwyn: Yes it will. Please get details from the man page, or 'info shred' | 22:50 |
| syb0rg | and keep other channels like ##linux in mind for general linux questions (non ubuntu specific) | 22:51 |
| syb0rg | or mint's channel, as you keep being told | 22:51 |
| nacc | berwyn: it's really annoying to be told (as a volunteer) to "Answer or reply soon". You are making a request of other people's time, so be patient and if people want to answer they will. | 22:53 |
| syb0rg | I think this guy is a low key troll | 22:54 |
| berwyn | It will be a whole year before I return to the linuxmint-help chatroom because some of the people angered and upset me as well as ignored me! | 22:54 |
| syb0rg | probably because you lack basic ettiquette, berwyn | 22:55 |
| nacc | berwyn: that's irrelevant here. please stick to *ubuntu* support topics. you have been told several teims | 22:56 |
| nacc | *times | 22:56 |
| compdoc | I had no idea that trolls had keys. thats so cool | 22:56 |
| HackerII | D-Wave | 22:57 |
| hggdh | back to topic, please | 22:58 |
| berwyn | hggdh and syb0rg: Hi and thank for all your replies. Also, another question: Is Shred available to download in a .deb or an .iso format because it is not available through the 2 software managers on or through Linux Mint? Or: Could I download it in a .deb format through the Terminal? Thanks : ) | 23:01 |
| syb0rg | berwyn, come on. Try ##linux | 23:01 |
| berwyn | syb0rg: I have to enter the ##linux chatroom to ask that question? If Yes then: Why? : ) | 23:02 |
| syb0rg | berwyn, because your question is not about ubuntu. How many times do you need to be told this? | 23:02 |
| syb0rg | I am done talking to you now. | 23:02 |
| hggdh | berwyn: shred is part of coreutils (which is, in general, automatically installed on ANY decent Linux distro. | 23:02 |
| hggdh | berwyn: this is the Ubuntu support channel. If your question is not about Ubuntu, then this is the wrong channel. This has been explained to you some times already. | 23:03 |
