| berwyn | oerheks: Hi : ) | 00:06 |
| BlueProtoman | oerheks: Through the official repos | 00:17 |
| oerheks | this recent post wants to use the driver ppa.. https://askubuntu.com/questions/1028830/how-do-i-install-cuda-on-ubuntu-18-04 | 00:24 |

| spikebike | bobdobbs: it pops a dialog and asks you where to save | 00:27 |
| kk | Hello Guys, Linux noobie here..I am trying to script a quick bash script that will start ssh-add command so that I don't have to type the passphrase again and again. | 00:27 |
| oerheks | bobdobbs, standard in ~/Pictures .. | 00:27 |
| kk | I wrote this..But its not working | 00:27 |
| kk | https://pastebin.com/hmN27Ekt | 00:28 |
| kk | Can anyone please help | 00:28 |
| spikebike | kk: you are doing it wrong | 00:28 |
| bobdobbs | oerheks: thanks! | 00:28 |
| kk | spikebike: Can you please tell me what is wrong with this? | 00:28 |
| spikebike | kk: default 18.04 already runs an agent/keychain, just run ssh-add once and you are golden | 00:28 |
| spikebike | kk: don't run an agent, don't put it in a script | 00:29 |
| kk | Ok..Let me change my script to run just ssh-add. | 00:30 |
| Asuran | hi, does tcpdump include all wifi packats send by wlan adapter? i got some problem with packet spam i cant identify which doesnt seem to be on fedora 28 just on my ubuntu 18.04. its a rt2800pci wifi | 00:30 |
| spikebike | Asuran: it's most accurate to just name the interface you want to use with tcpdump. | 00:30 |
| Asuran | with -i? done it | 00:30 |
| hggdh | tcpdump will receive all packets accepted by the interface(s) | 00:31 |
| arooni | does ubuntu 18.04 use a qt4 qt5 enviornment? | 00:31 |
| arooni | trying to figure out which to download | 00:31 |
| arooni | http://www.tuxguitar.com.ar/download.html | 00:31 |
| arooni | nevermind; theres an ubuntu package lol | 00:31 |
| Asuran | hggdh: okay so wavemon isnt showing more then tcpdump ? | 00:32 |
| dijondon | Hi -- i am running ubuntu artful (17.10) and am not able to install package 'strongswan-plugin-eap-mschapv2' -- can i install a package from an earlier release of ubuntu? i see it there for trusty and xenial | 00:33 |
| kk | spikebike: https://pastebin.com/HEEU90GR | 00:33 |
| kk | Getting this error "Could not open a connection to your authentication agent." | 00:33 |
| spikebike | kk: running which ubuntu? | 00:34 |
| kk | DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 15.10" | 00:34 |
| kk | Not sure if this is the problem | 00:34 |
| spikebike | that's way past EoL | 00:35 |
| kk | hmm..I am running the bash shell in my Windows.. | 00:35 |
| oerheks | dijondon, maybe this answer is a help https://askubuntu.com/questions/1029907/trouble-setting-up-ikev2-ipsec-on-18-04-unable-to-locate-package-strongswan-ik/1030024 | 00:35 |
| oerheks | strongswan-swanctl | 00:36 |
| dijondon | oerheks, i can install the mschapv2 plugin using swanctl? | 00:38 |
| oerheks | if i read that post correctly, you would need the libcharon-extra-plugins too | 00:38 |
| oerheks | or maybe it pulls that automaticly | 00:39 |
| Asuran | so idk is someone spamming(scan?) ubuntu installations and that is what i see or is it a bug? | 00:39 |
| oerheks | Asuran, packet spam during ubuntu installation? | 00:40 |
| Sven_vB | for a while now, my netbook developed a habit of surprising me with numlock suddenly being on. how to debug? Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS xenial, Xfce 4.12 | 00:40 |
| Asuran | during install also | 00:40 |
| Asuran | all time | 00:40 |
| Asuran | when i tried other distro nothing like that | 00:40 |
| Asuran | so in my opinion its bug but idk tcpdump doesnt fit with wavemon activity | 00:40 |
| oerheks | so your adapters sees packages from surrounding wlan clients | 00:41 |
| Asuran | it look like it sends packages and get response from gateway | 00:41 |
| Asuran | but i cant get the prove since tcpdump doesnt show i | 00:41 |
| Asuran | all i got is wavemon + the acitivty lamp on the apdater | 00:41 |
| Asuran | which happens only on ubuntu | 00:42 |
| hggdh | Asuran: tcpdump receives all packets accepted by the interface being sniffed. Wavemon seems to have a different type of connection to the *wireless* interface | 00:42 |
| Asuran | so what im supposed todo switch distro or | 00:43 |
| Asuran | even creating launchpad account doesnt work here, always fails at my name which isnt uncommon or special character | 00:44 |
| oerheks | sudo ufw allow ssh/tcp && sudo ufw logging on && sudo ufw enable && sudo ufw status https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UncomplicatedFirewall | 00:47 |
| oerheks | and be happy | 00:47 |
| === seth is now known as Guest33870 | ||
| === vox_ is now known as vox | ||
| Asuran | oerheks: done, still same | 00:49 |
| Asuran | so i can expect its from inside then? | 00:49 |
| oerheks | disable wavemon and that led activity stops | 00:51 |
| Asuran | oerheks: eh no it doesnt. the other thing on fedora 28 this problem doesnt exist no matter if use wavemon etc. | 00:52 |
| Asuran | it seems only be ubuntu related, but idk what it is | 00:52 |
| === rojo is now known as akaiiro | ||
| Asuran | nethogs doesnt show atleast no process is responsible for it like snapd | 00:53 |
| oerheks | nethogs, wavemon, tcdump .. how does snapd fit in? | 00:56 |
| Asuran | i wanted to say with this example its not a process if i see it right which causes the packet spam (nethogs) | 00:58 |

| Slade | hum, cant do a release upgrade because mirror.umd.edu is down.. | 01:01 |
| oerheks | Slade, change the mirror to 'main' for now | 01:02 |
| oerheks | or your version is way EOL ... | 01:02 |
| pankaj | I have to dual boot another Operating system. The MBR is set up by ubuntu. What is the easiest way to add that anohter partition OS to ubuntu's grub so that I can dual boot? | 01:03 |
| Slade | oerheks, havent done that before. | 01:03 |
| oerheks | type sources in bash, and the tool/menu pops up | 01:04 |
| Slade | ah, no gui :D | 01:04 |
| oerheks | pankaj, update-grub or os-prober from within ubuntu | 01:05 |
| oerheks | you have a lot of issues in your life.. sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list # and replace it with http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu | 01:07 |
| pankaj | oerheks: Will it itself search for partition that want to be dual booted and configure its configuration file? | 01:07 |
| Slade | something like this maybe? sudo sed -i 's|https://mirror.umd.edu/|http://archive.ubuntu.com/|g' /etc/apt/sources.list | 01:07 |
| oerheks | i think that sed works too | 01:07 |
| oerheks | sudo apt install update-manager-core && sudo do-release-upgrade | 01:08 |
| oerheks | pankaj, normally yes | 01:09 |
| pankaj | oerheks: OK | 01:10 |
| oerheks | some choose to chainload those grub installs, i would seperate linux installs by hdd and bios-switch | 01:10 |
| Slade | oerheks, i'm lazy so i like sed.. thanks for the help :) | 01:11 |
| oerheks | have fun! | 01:11 |
| Slade | i'm surprised theres no cli tool for auto reselecting the mirror | 01:11 |

| steelnwool | Hello | 01:39 |
| crazyhacker | hi | 01:39 |
| crazyhacker | how are u | 01:39 |
| steelnwool | Doing great. | 01:39 |
| steelnwool | So, need some knowledge. I downloaded http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/releases/18.04/release/ubuntu-18.04-server-cloudimg-amd64.vmdk .. and I have no idea what the default username and password is. | 01:40 |
| hggdh | steelnwool: should be ubuntu/ubuntu | 01:41 |
| steelnwool | you'd think so :) | 01:41 |
| hggdh | steelnwool: ah, sorry. There is no password, you have to boot it with a public key | 01:42 |
| crazyhacker | who can hacked me | 01:42 |
| hggdh | steelnwool: see, for example, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29137679/login-credentials-of-ubuntu-cloud-server-image | 01:42 |
| hggdh | crazyhacker: off topic | 01:43 |
| steelnwool | hggdh: fair enough. now... to find out the IP of the machine :) | 01:44 |
| hggdh | steelnwool:heh. Now, only you would know it, after all, you are booting it | 01:44 |
| steelnwool | hggdh: yeah, I've not messed with vms in quite some time. I have to find which subnet and do some nmapping. | 01:45 |
| steelnwool | But yeah. trying. | 01:45 |
| kvndy | Can anyone help me troubleshoot a data loss problem with an Ext4 formatted external drive? My machine crashes daily, this time on reboot I cannot decrypt the drive. | 01:47 |
| kvndy | "Error mounting /dev/dm-3 at ...: can't read superblock on /dev/mapper/luks-4795f4... | 01:49 |
| dabbler | I have an installation of Ubuntu 16.04.4 on an armhf SBC (with HDMI out to a TV) that I'm trying to get JWM working on. I've installed jwm, xserver-xorg, xinit, and created a basic /etc/X11/Xorg.conf, but when I run xinit, I get the fatal error "Cannot open /dev/tty0 (Permission denied)" in the Xorg log. I'm guessing I might be able to get around this by doing sudo xinit, but I know you shoudn't just blindly sudo things unless you know i | 01:50 |
| dabbler | t's appropriate. should I be sudoing xinit or is there some bit of config I'm still missing? | 01:50 |
| kvndy | Furthermore, using Disks it shows two volumes at 1TB each when there should only be one | 01:51 |
| dabbler | kvndy: have you checked the SMART health of the drive? | 01:51 |
| kvndy | dabbler: I don't think I can check SMART data & self tests until the drive mounts, which it appears to almost do but fails | 01:54 |
| kvndy | "Error mounting filesystem, can't read superblock..." | 01:55 |
| kvndy | And it was practically a brand new drive, and my first month on Ubuntu, already with catastrophic drive failure, very disappointing. | 01:55 |
| Ryvius | Hello, is it correct that Ubuntu 16.04 has not received Vulkan 1.1? | 01:56 |
| kvndy | i was spoiled using other OSes, and didn't realize how hairy things were over here | 01:56 |
| Ryvius | For the standard nvidia drivers | 01:56 |
| dabbler1 | oops. batt died. if anyone (e.g. kvndy) replied to me, I missed it. kindly repeat | 01:56 |
| kvndy | dabbler: I don't think I can check SMART data & self tests until the drive mounts, which it appears to almost do but fails | 01:57 |
| kvndy | And it was practically a brand new drive, and my first month on Ubuntu, already with catastrophic drive failure, very disappointing. | 01:58 |
| dabbler1 | kvndy: no mounting is needed to check SMART | 01:58 |
| steelnwool | hggdh: what did you mean by "boot it with a public key" ? | 01:58 |
| dabbler1 | kvndy: do you know what /dev/ device it is? | 01:59 |
| hggdh | steelnwool: cloud images must be booted passing the (initial) public key for one to ssh into. I do not remember the details on it, though | 02:01 |
| kvndy | dabbler: Maybe dm-3 or maybe /dev/sdb? Not sure. I correctly type the password to decrypt, but in Disks there appears two 1TB volumes when there should only be one | 02:02 |
| kvndy | There is also /dev/mapper/luks-4795...etc | 02:02 |
| kvndy | Two devices /dev/sdb and /dev/mapper/luks... | 02:03 |
| dabbler1 | kvndy: I'd examine an sdb before a mapper one | 02:05 |
| kvndy | The unlocked one is not named, and my volume that I named does not mount. | 02:05 |
| steelnwool | hggdh: yeah, I'm trying to do this on fusion, which is a different beast. I think I'm attacking this problem the wrong way. | 02:05 |
| kvndy | dabbler1: examine how? | 02:05 |
| dabbler1 | kvndy: I would install the package gsmartcontrol | 02:05 |
| === PickledEggs_ is now known as PickledEggs | ||
| kvndy | dabbler1: I will have a look at it, thanks | 02:06 |
| dabbler1 | kvndy: there may not be anything wrong with your disk hardware, but i'd always verify that first because if there is a hardware problem, you need to know ASAP in order to save as much data as possible | 02:07 |
| kvndy | dabbler1: gsmartcontrol is not saying much. | 02:11 |
| kvndy | "View Details" shows "no additional information available for this drive" | 02:12 |
| kvndy | "Enable SMART" and "Perform Tests" are greyed out and cannot be selected | 02:12 |
| dabbler1 | kvndy: hmm how is the disk connected to the comp? USB? | 02:12 |
| kvndy | yes | 02:12 |
| kvndy | Computer crashed like it does everyday, but this time after typing correct password to decrypt it shows two volumes in Disks, one mounted with a long hashed name, and another not mounted with the name I gave it | 02:14 |
| dabbler1 | kvndy: ugh. the software support for SMART over USB often isn't there. do you have the option of removing the disk from whatever external enclosure you have it in and connecting it internally, like via SATA? | 02:15 |
| kvndy | dabber1: not really, no | 02:15 |
| dabbler1 | kvndy: do you have a windows installation you can connect it to? | 02:16 |
| dabbler1 | kvndy: I've noticed the $-free CCleaner app on Windows can often show SMART data for drives connected via USB | 02:17 |
| kvndy | dabbler1: I could wipe Ubuntu and restore Windows which came installed, I made a recovery USB drive | 02:18 |
| kvndy | Or try a dual boot but I'm a novice at this | 02:18 |
| dabbler1 | kvndy: eh that sounds like a lot of work. is this an off-the-shelf sealed external enclosure? is that why you can't connect internally? | 02:19 |
| kvndy | dabbler1: No, I bought the case separately, I can take it out, I just don't have a machine to put it in. Maybe I could take apart the laptop I'm using now, I also have an older mac that I've taken apart plenty of times, but the motherboard is fried and requires an external drive | 02:21 |
| kvndy | dabbler1: I had my data on an external drive here so I could wipe Ubuntu and try out other distros if I felt brave, never got around to it though. | 02:21 |
| kvndy | This laptop has a small internal SSD | 02:22 |
| crazyhacker | hi | 02:22 |
| dabbler1 | kvndy: can you think of any desktop machines you could use? friends? work? | 02:22 |
| kvndy | dabbler1: Not impossible, but... | 02:23 |
| kvndy | dabbler1: Do you know of any tools on mac OSX that can troubleshoot Ext4 formatted drives? | 02:23 |
| dabbler1 | kvndy: you could check smart params (provided the USB thing isn't a problem), and i think you could run fsck on them | 02:24 |
| kvndy | A dual boot windows install on this machine would be easier than bothering someone else to use their desktop, but on the other hand, I've lost a bit more than a month of data and would very much like it back | 02:24 |
| kvndy | dabbler1: I've never heard of SMART before, or at least didn't pay attention, OS X has fsck but I'm not sure about Ext4 support | 02:25 |
| oerheks | without smart support for your usb adapter, how could we help? | 02:26 |
| dabbler1 | oerheks: well, if (s)he wanted to dual-boot, we could at least point him/her to something on how to do that, right? | 02:27 |
| kvndy | he | 02:27 |
| dabbler1 | noted :p | 02:27 |
| kvndy | should I start reading the smartctl man page? | 02:27 |
| oerheks | it has nothing to do with ubuntu, hardware issue .. but one could perform a fsck.ext4 fix https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilesystemTroubleshooting#e2fsprogs_-_ext2.2C_ext3.2C_ext4_filesystems | 02:28 |
| oerheks | * for that external hdd | 02:29 |
| oerheks | else i read more issues with the pc itself, so i wonder where this all started and if that machine is the right idea to use | 02:29 |
| dabbler1 | kvndy: I also would get those reboots figured out before relying on that machine | 02:31 |
| kvndy | Can I multiline paste in here without getting killed? | 02:32 |
| kvndy | fsck.ext4: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sdb | 02:32 |
| kvndy | /dev/sdb: | 02:32 |
| kvndy | The superblock could not be read or does not describe a valid ext2/ext3/ext4 | 02:32 |
| kvndy | filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2/ext3/ext4 | 02:32 |
| kvndy | filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock | 02:32 |

| dabbler1 | kvndy: i would not do an fsck.ext4 fix before confirming the drive hardware is healthy first. otherwise you might only degrade your data more | 02:32 |
| kvndy | dabbler1: This is probably not a hardware issue, the drive is new. My machine crashes daily, and I suspect did something to the drive | 02:34 |
| dabbler1 | kvndy: i would suspect that too, but if this is data you couldn't afford to lose, i would be safe about it | 02:34 |
| dabbler1 | kvndy: a machine crashing daily is a recipe for constant filesystem corruption problems | 02:35 |
| Synx_hm | Can the usual if.vlan naming convention still be used with netplan and the networkd renderer? | 02:35 |
| dabbler1 | kvndy: does the disk's power come via USB or a wall wart? | 02:36 |
| kvndy | dabbler1: USB | 02:37 |
| kvndy | What I don't understand is where the second partition came from. There should only be one partition, 1TB, not two 1TB partitions | 02:38 |
| dabbler1 | kvndy: ok. they're engineered not to be damaged by sudden power losses, but i'd still be made nervous by daily power losses | 02:39 |
| kvndy | "filesystem intact" "Filesystem on /dev/mapper/luks-4795f4a.... is undamaged" | 02:41 |
| dabbler1 | kvndy: i don't have much insight into why it might appear twice, short of a corrupted partition table. unless you were modifying your partition table when the comp crashed i wouldn't think that likely | 02:41 |
| kvndy | dabbler1: No I was not, but it sounds like the partition table did get corrupted somehow, or something along those lines | 02:42 |
| === yn_ is now known as yn | ||
| dabbler1 | kvndy: not necessarily. there are several layers of software involved in disk management and presentation. a file system corrupted in a certain way could perhaps trip one of them up into presenting a duplicate volume | 02:44 |
| kvndy | what is fstab and is it possible that is what is messed up? | 02:45 |
| dabbler1 | kvndy: i'm not familiar with the layers at work in modern Ubuntu, unfortunately | 02:45 |
| dabbler1 | kvndy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fstab | 02:46 |
| dabbler1 | kvndy: in principle it dictates what devices to mount at what mount points and with what options to the relevant driver | 02:47 |
| === giraffe is now known as Guest49045 | ||
| dabbler1 | kvndy: i think its maintenance might be semi-automated in modern Ubuntu | 02:48 |
| mIk3_08 | oerheks: Are still there? | 02:48 |
| dabbler1 | kvndy: have you done any manual modification of /etc/fstab? | 02:50 |
| kvndy | dabbler1: no | 02:53 |
| kvndy | Well this is interesting, there are superblock backups and I've listed them from some stack overflow question, but I still don't quite know what a superblock is yet | 02:54 |
| dabbler1 | kvndy: just realized… the two 1-GB partitions you see… they're /dev/sdb and /dev/mapper/luks…? | 02:55 |
| kvndy | dabbler1: yes! 1TB though | 02:55 |
| Bashing-om | kvndy: One can spre off the superblock with a backup(s). Is this drive MBR partitioned ? | 02:55 |
| dabbler1 | kvndy: the superblock is an internal book-keeping structure in an extN filesystem | 02:56 |
| kvndy | not sure if it's MBR partitioned | 02:56 |
| Bashing-om | kvndy: pastebin ' sudo parted -l ' . IF MBR I have a good guide to sparing that superblock off . | 02:57 |
| dabbler1 | kvndy: just realized. /dev/sdb represents the raw data on your disk. in your case that data is encrypted. the /dev/mapper/luks… device is a virtual device that represents /dev/sdb after it's been decrypted. they have the same size because they are the same size. they're just the same stretch of disk in two different logical states, so to speak | 02:59 |
| dabbler1 | kvndy: for access concerned with the physical device (such as looking at SMART status), you'd access /dev/sdb. for access concerned with the filesystem (such as fsck or accessing files), you'd use the LUKS mapped pseudo-device | 03:01 |
| kvndy | https://pastebin.com/kbMw3nYv | 03:01 |
| kvndy | dabbler1: nice explanation | 03:03 |
| dabbler1 | kvndy: LUKS is the driver that handles the full-disk encryption for you | 03:04 |
| Bashing-om | kvndy: Yuk , not enough to tell .. and with encrtption and such .. " I know Nothing " . | 03:05 |
| kvndy | Bashing-om: Thanks for looking anyway | 03:06 |
| Bashing-om | kvndy: :) .. I just "thought" I might be able to help . | 03:07 |
| dabbler1 | kvndy: looking at your paste now. a "loop-back device". that's what the LUKS virtual devices are known as in Linux world | 03:08 |
| dabbler1 | kvndy: i think because it's looped back into the device tree through a kernel module (driver) | 03:08 |
| kvndy | You're talking over my head here. Is a superblock sparing actually a possibility I should pursue? | 03:11 |
| dabbler1 | kvndy: can you do a pastebin of the fsck /dev/mapper/luks/… output? | 03:12 |
| dabbler1 | kvndy: if the primary/default superblock is damaged, then yes, using the backup superblock is highly relevant for you | 03:14 |
| kvndy | FIXED !!! | 03:16 |
| Bashing-om | kvndy: Do tell ! | 03:17 |
| kvndy | All thanks to dabbler1 (and a little help from Bashing-om), the solution was simply fsck /dev/mapper/luks NOT /dev/sdb, which makes sense given your earlier explanation | 03:17 |
| kvndy | HELLYEAH | 03:18 |
| kvndy | Time to back this shizz up | 03:18 |
| Bashing-om | kvndy: You do good work :) | 03:18 |
| kvndy | My excuse for not backing up was I've been using node.js and node_modules is ridiculous | 03:19 |
| kvndy | So I'll put that off until tomorrow | 03:19 |
| kvndy | Right now it is time to celebrate. | 03:20 |
| dabbler1 | kvndy: great! glad you got it figured out. yeah, just keep that role of the two devices firmly in mind. | 03:20 |
| kvndy | Thanks again dabbler1 and Bashing-om !!! | 03:20 |
| dabbler1 | kvndy: you're welcome. sorry it took me so long to think haha | 03:20 |

| dabbler1 | I have an installation of Ubuntu 16.04.4 on an armhf SBC (with HDMI out to a TV) that I'm trying to get JWM working on. I've installed jwm, xserver-xorg, xinit, and created a basic /etc/X11/Xorg.conf, but when I run xinit, I get the fatal error "Cannot open /dev/tty0 (Permission denied)" in the Xorg log. I'm guessing I might be able to get around this by doing sudo xinit, but I know you shoudn't just blindly sudo things unless you know i | 06:01 |
| dabbler1 | t's appropriate. should I be sudoing xinit or is there some bit of config I'm still missing? | 06:01 |

| Suntop_K | Did Ubuntu change the method of switching to TTY? | 06:14 |
| lotuspsychje | !tty | Suntop_K | 06:14 |
| ubottu | Suntop_K: To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution | 06:14 |
| Suntop_K | Okay F1 and F2 do not work F3 does tho strange | 06:16 |
| Suntop_K | I hope that the VMWare is not somehow messing that up | 06:17 |
| Suntop_K | Thank you | 06:18 |
| lotuspsychje | Suntop_K: there is a vmware channel too if you like | 06:18 |
| Suntop_K | lotuspsychje, as long as I can get to 1 tty its fine just F1 and F2 do not work but F3-F6 works fine i do not need more than 1 thank you for the info | 06:26 |
| lotuspsychje | Suntop_K: ok great you fixxed it | 06:27 |
| dabbler1 | syb0rg: thanks for the link | 06:38 |

| dabbler1 | How can I configure it such that xinit launches into JWM instead of just giving me an xterm window? | 06:41 |
| nikolam | I am reporting some problem that killed my machine yesterday, it stopped responding with a large disk usage and become unresponsive (and network and ssh and console). I have seen previously that RAM is fully consumed.and reporting now some systemd problem upon boot. | 06:43 |
| nikolam | (systemd-journald crashed with SIGABRT in journal_file_append) | 06:44 |
| lotuspsychje | !recovery | nikolam can you still enter recoverymode? | 06:44 |
| ubottu | nikolam can you still enter recoverymode?: If your system fails to boot normally, it may be useful to boot it into recovery mode. For instructions, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode | 06:44 |
| nikolam | lotuspsychje, upon reboot, everything semems ok, sounds like some memory storm? | 06:45 |
| dabbler1 | aha! nm. the solution was to use startx instead of xinit | 06:46 |
| nikolam | lotuspsychje, I reported that automatic report that popped up | 06:47 |
| nikolam | It smells like something leaked and filled RAM and the resto of the OS, apps was hit swapping (8G RAM and used up to 50% usually) | 06:48 |
| lotuspsychje | nikolam: take a look at your syslog or dmesg, to see whats going on | 06:48 |
| nikolam | And I think I even set Kernel to warn if ther eis no RAM and not to kill kernel apps | 06:49 |
| nikolam | ok | 06:49 |
| nikolam | lotuspsychje, looking at dmesg gives only messages from the current boot, right? | 06:52 |
| yaldak | yes | 06:52 |
| nikolam | so won't help with figuring out about that memry storm | 06:52 |
| yaldak | look at kern.log | 06:53 |
| yaldak | it rolls over into .1, .2.gz and so on | 06:53 |
| yaldak | gunzip -c kern.log.2.gz | less and so on | 06:54 |
| noname90 | Hi I want my ldap users to login to desktop but when I am trying to do I cant see menus and settings how can i configure gui for ldap users | 06:56 |

| noname90 | yaldak: I have an ldap server running openldap 2.4 | 06:57 |
| noname90 | I can login to remote users I just want gui too | 06:58 |
| tomreyn | nikolam: did you say which ubuntu release this is, yet? | 06:58 |
| tomreyn | lsb_release -ds | 06:58 |
| yaldak | tomreyn: are you saying the logged in users are not getting a GUI? | 06:58 |
| tomreyn | yaldak: no, you must be mixing me up with someone else | 06:59 |
| noname90 | <yaldak>: I mount home directory from server using autofs | 06:59 |
| yaldak | yes, sorry, i meant noname90 :) | 06:59 |
| noname90 | No issues | 06:59 |
| yaldak | do they have a default shell | 06:59 |
| noname90 | yaldak: Yep bash | 07:00 |
| yaldak | are you using nscd | 07:01 |
| noname90 | yes | 07:01 |
| noname90 | 50-ubuntu.conf edited this file to included greeter login also | 07:01 |
| noname90 | lightdm.com | 07:01 |
| yaldak | does greeter show? | 07:01 |
| noname90 | Yes | 07:02 |
| yaldak | ok what wm ? | 07:02 |
| yaldak | i have seen this before with xfce, where u login and get nothing but grey screen and a cursor | 07:02 |
| noname90 | I can login to user desktop but I cant see even a close button | 07:02 |
| yaldak | close button to logout or on the user panel? | 07:03 |
| yaldak | close button to logout or on an application pane*? | 07:03 |
| noname90 | application pane | 07:03 |
| noname90 | :) | 07:03 |
| yaldak | gnome? | 07:03 |
| noname90 | yes | 07:03 |
| noname90 | Infact I dont see any menus at all | 07:04 |
| noname90 | I want to set default gui | 07:04 |
| noname90 | for ldap user | 07:04 |
| yaldak | That's weird it should just work, check your greeter config | 07:06 |
| yaldak | greeter should let you choose what kind of session its popping the user into | 07:06 |
| yaldak | and there are different types for gnome | 07:06 |
| yaldak | noname90: Could be something else like dbus failing to start, maybe look at syslog for anything suspicious | 07:08 |
| yaldak | Also make sure the user actually owns their home directory gnome cannot write to it when trying to initialize the profile | 07:09 |
| noname90 | yaldak: Sorry for delay and my server is running different os will that a problem? | 07:20 |
| noname90 | Its running centos | 07:20 |
| yaldak | noname90: No it shouldn't matter, I have had ubuntu clients login on Windows AD server | 07:21 |
| yaldak | Did you check ownership of the home folders? | 07:22 |
| apsknight | I want to create a link between folder /home/user/Documents/extension and /home/user/.ipython/extensions/extension such that if I change any file in first folder it also get changes in second one. What should be the correct command for this ? | 07:28 |
| yaldak | man ln | 07:30 |
| yaldak | you want a symbolic link, so the -s switch | 07:30 |
| yaldak | since you cannot hard link directories | 07:30 |
| apsknight | yaldak: But which should come first in ln ? | 07:30 |
| apsknight | ln - s /home/user/Documents/extension /home/user/.ipython/extensions/extension | 07:31 |
| apsknight | or | 07:31 |
| apsknight | ln -s /home/user/.ipython/extensions/extension /home/user/Documents/extension | 07:31 |
| yaldak | that is up to you, the format is | 07:31 |
| yaldak | ln -s TARGET LINK_NAME | 07:31 |
| yaldak | TARGET = the original folder, LINK_NAME = the reference to it | 07:32 |
| apsknight | So if I change a file in one it will also reflect in another ? | 07:32 |
| apsknight | No matter which is target and which is link. | 07:32 |
| yaldak | yea, but u have to be careful | 07:33 |
| yaldak | because the behavior of ln as documented is as follows | 07:33 |
| yaldak | Suppose I have folder /opt/foo and I want a linked to it at /home/dinosaur/foo | 07:34 |
| yaldak | you must not create the folder /home/dinosaur/foo itself, because ln will by default create the symlink file inside of the directory | 07:35 |
| yaldak | so you would do | 07:35 |
| yaldak | ln -s /opt/foo /home/dinosaur | 07:35 |
| yaldak | then it will create the foo symlink node inside of /home/dinosaur | 07:35 |
| yaldak | if the second arg is a directory it places a link to the first arg inside it | 07:35 |
| apsknight | Okay, thank you. I am beginner, sorry to bother you. | 07:37 |
| yaldak | not a bother at all | 07:38 |
| yaldak | good luck to you | 07:38 |
| yaldak | and test it somewhere first before you destroy data | 07:38 |

| ramsub07 | Hi i have an internal hard drive in my system and not able to mount. my OS isn't in that obviously. when i do sudo fdisk -l it shows. /dev/sda. not /dev/sda1. | 14:28 |
| ramsub07 | i restarted my system and i'm having the problem since. before, the drive was mounted and i was able to browse | 14:28 |
| ikonia | ramsub07: you mount a partition, not a disk | 14:28 |
| ikonia | ramsub07: what file system is on the disk, where did it come from (what was it used for/how was it created) | 14:29 |
| ramsub07 | filesystem ? I think ntfs | 14:29 |
| ikonia | ramsub07: then it will have a partition, not a disk | 14:29 |
| ikonia | mount the partition, not the disk | 14:29 |
| yaldak | ramsub07: If you have trouble finding the block device, you may run "blkid" or "lsblk" to track it down | 14:30 |
| ramsub07 | i am not able to see a partition for the hard drive | 14:30 |
| ramsub07 | i think i used exfat maybe? | 14:30 |
| yaldak | Make sure the block device is there first | 14:30 |
| ikonia | you'd still use a partition, not a disk | 14:30 |
| yaldak | Right | 14:30 |
| ramsub07 | yaldak: yes, they don't give me /dev/sdaN, they only show /dev/sda | 14:30 |
| yaldak | If its exFAT, then you will need a FUSE extension (or a kernel module I've seen floating around) | 14:30 |
| ramsub07 | yaldak: yeah i have installed that | 14:31 |
| ramsub07 | i have that in the startup script to mount the drive | 14:31 |
| yaldak | If its NTFS it should be mountable with ntfs-3g. You should confirm this. if it's a corrupt filesystem, chkdsk on an actual Windows box works best. Last case scenario is testdisk | 14:31 |
| ramsub07 | i had used that command before, but on a partition | 14:31 |
| ramsub07 | now i am not able to see a partition | 14:31 |
| ramsub07 | is it possible to create a partition without deleting data on a drive? | 14:32 |
| yaldak | anytime you mess with the partition table on a disk in an unknown state, you risk losing data but more importantly you lose important structural information about the disk | 14:32 |
| yaldak | use fdisk, parted, or gparted to see whats goin on in there | 14:32 |
| mgedmin | when you said you could see "it" with fdisk -l, did you mean you could see the partition? | 14:32 |
| mgedmin | maybe you need to ask the kernel to re-read the partition table? | 14:32 |
| yaldak | yes | 14:33 |
| ramsub07 | mgedmin: nope, i could only see the drive | 14:33 |
| mgedmin | sudo blockdev --rereadpt | 14:33 |
| pragmaticenigma | I don't believe exfat is available by default, you might need to install the exfat package, ramsub07 | 14:33 |
| yaldak | mgedmin: I didn't even know that was a thing, thank you I am adding it to my notebook | 14:33 |
| mgedmin | normally it shouldn't be necessary ... if there's a valid partition table, the kernel would autodetect it etc. | 14:34 |
| yaldak | yes ^ | 14:35 |
| mgedmin | you need this when you do things like overwrite the partiton table with dd etc. | 14:35 |
| yaldak | and ramsub07: If you aren't seeing a partition in fdisk -l, even one it does not recognize | 14:35 |
| yaldak | That tells me that there is something funnier going on | 14:35 |
| yaldak | because even if it was the exFAT driver, you would still see an entry for it | 14:35 |
| yaldak | for MBR/GPT disk the partition type has an identifier | 14:35 |
| ramsub07 | mgedmin: what was i supposed to see after that command? | 14:35 |
| ramsub07 | i don't see anything, i just see an instruction of available commands upon running it | 14:36 |
| mgedmin | ramsub07: ls -l /dev/sda* ought to show sda1/2/3 etc now | 14:36 |
| mgedmin | instruction of available commands? maybe you misspelled something | 14:36 |
| mgedmin | and the full command is actually sudo blockdev --rereadpt /dev/sda | 14:36 |
| yaldak | I gotta jet. Good luck | 14:36 |
| === yaldak is now known as yaldak[afk] | ||
| ramsub07 | mgedmin: nope, still it doesn't show sdaN | 14:38 |
| ramsub07 | only shows sda | 14:38 |
| mgedmin | any errors in dmesg? | 14:38 |
| ramsub07 | dmseg? | 14:39 |
| yaldak[afk] | dmesg prints kernel log messages since current boot | 14:39 |
| yaldak[afk] | ramsub07: I suspect something's borked with your partition table honestly, you should use testdisk to analyze the structure (without doing any writes, be careful in there, there is a specific option just for Analyze) | 14:39 |
| ramsub07 | okay so when i run sudo fdisk /dev/sda i get the following.... | 14:40 |
| ramsub07 | dpaste.com/3FG636K | 14:40 |
| yaldak[afk] | Yea I thought so | 14:40 |
| yaldak[afk] | Run testdisk analyze | 14:41 |
| yaldak[afk] | See what's up on that block device | 14:41 |
| pragmaticenigma | ramsub07: If you are using exFat, you may need to install the exFAT kernel drivers to be able to see the disk properly. | 14:41 |
| doug16k | mgedmin, you wouldn't want the numbered one right? That would be a partition itself. wouldn't you want the bare sda to read the disk? | 14:41 |
| ramsub07 | yaldak[afk]: as in? | 14:42 |
| yaldak[afk] | pragmaticenigma: It should stlil show, the message he sent implied it cannot even read the MBR/GPT table | 14:42 |
| ramsub07 | pragmaticenigma: i don't understand, at this point i am not sure | 14:42 |
| pragmaticenigma | yaldak[afk]: I had the same problem until I installed them | 14:42 |
| yaldak[afk] | Interesting | 14:42 |
| pragmaticenigma | ramsub07: try: "sudo apt-get install exfat-fuse exfat-utils" | 14:42 |
| doug16k | mgedmin, oh nevermind, I misread | 14:42 |
| ramsub07 | pragmaticenigma: have done that | 14:43 |
| yaldak[afk] | ramsub07: If that does not work, use "sudo apt-get install testdisk", run the "sudo testdisk" command, in the menu navigate your way to Analyze | 14:43 |
| mgedmin | ramsub07: are you 100% sure you have the right drive? this one's apparently formatted as ext4, with no partition table! | 14:43 |
| mgedmin | have you tried mounting it as ext4? | 14:43 |
| ramsub07 | mgedmin: well this is my internal hard drive,i haven't opened up or has anyone else. everything was intact until the time i restarted my machine | 14:44 |
| ramsub07 | mgedmin: how should i do that? | 14:44 |
| yaldak[afk] | mount -t ext4 /dev/sdaX /mnt/someFolderInHere | 14:44 |
| mgedmin | are you in a livecd session or something currently? | 14:44 |
| ramsub07 | yaldak[afk]: well, the problem is there is no X there, only /dev/sda | 14:45 |
| ramsub07 | if there was /dev/sdaX then i'd have done the mount | 14:45 |
| as2000 | I need to change to a blue theme for icons and everything else. any suggestions? \ | 14:45 |
| yaldak[afk] | right | 14:45 |
| ramsub07 | so basically i want to have a partition | 14:45 |
| mgedmin | sudo mount -r -t ext4 /dev/sda /mnt/mnt | 14:46 |
| mgedmin | (-r for readonly, just as a precaution) | 14:46 |
| yaldak[afk] | hence why I am insisting a testdisk, unless your whole block device is ext4 without a partition table which is strange | 14:46 |
| ramsub07 | perfect ! | 14:46 |

| Squall5668 | and that's why you can't enter it. The group has no permissions | 15:32 |
| LordDragon | ohh | 15:33 |
| LordDragon | i see | 15:33 |
| pragmaticenigma | LordDragon: Those permissions look deliberate, and unless you have reason to be in that folder, that user doesn't want anyone else in there | 15:33 |
| LordDragon | the user is me | 15:33 |
| LordDragon | lol | 15:33 |
| LordDragon | its my rig. and the secondary user is one i made for my IP cameras to use to connect via ftp | 15:34 |
| pragmaticenigma | In that case, hack away | 15:34 |
| LordDragon | whats the format of chmod for changing group permissions? | 15:35 |
| pragmaticenigma | "sudo chmod 750 /dir" will give you the ability to see into the folder, it will grant you read access | 15:35 |
| pragmaticenigma | use 770 for full access... both of those values will still keep non-owner non-group members out | 15:36 |
| LordDragon | so in those 3 digits, theres user, group and what else? | 15:36 |
| Squall5668 | LordDragon: you can also 'chmod g+rx folder" to add read and list permissions to the group if that's easier to remember | 15:36 |
| Squall5668 | user, group, other | 15:36 |
| pragmaticenigma | first is user, second is group, third is everyone/other | 15:36 |

| pragmaticenigma | LordDragon: the standard cp and mv commands don't have progress indicators, but can bse used with the verbose flag to see what file they are currently working on. An option is to learn how to use rsync which can give you a progress indicator and also helps with restarting interupted copy processes without having to start from the beginning | 15:41 |

| indica2018 | I am returning back with an old query that has remained unanswered despite the best of my effort. | 15:46 |
| pragmaticenigma | movah4c: Because it is more than a remote copy program. Some services and system routines may leverage rsync's ability to send delta changes of a file, to reduce the time taken to copy a file from one directory to another | 15:47 |
| indica2018 | Why Gnome networking manager in Ubuntu 18.04 lacks the option to create a DSL connection ? | 15:47 |
| ikonia | indica2018: you where told what to do with this last time | 15:48 |
| pragmaticenigma | indica2018: It's not a common setup, less common a setup is, the less likely you will find a handy tool for it. Network manager can probably turn on and off the connection, but the configuration probably requires more settings than a gui can accurately handle | 15:49 |
| mgedmin | you need a DSL modem for a DSL connection, and once you have that, all the computer sees is a standard Ethernet connection between your computer and the DSL modem, so why would it be special? | 15:49 |
| movah4c | progmaticenigma: ok then i look foreward to something that can occour without rsync | 15:49 |
| phyte | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/mCdDP7g2vH/ | 15:49 |
| movah4c | till now, no issues with ftp and usb devices | 15:50 |
| indica2018 | sudo pppoecof is not reliable . And sudo pppoeconf disables my network manager completely. I do not have the option to connect to a always on connection anymore | 15:51 |
| ikonia | indica2018: yes, you where told not to do this | 15:51 |
| === SimonNL is now known as SimonNL_Afk | ||
| ikonia | indica2018: and you where told what to do - DSL is not a really connection, it's just a wired connection | 15:51 |
| indica2018 | @mgedmin: I agree with you. Poor countries still run a Dial-up/ ADSL connection with parallel copper wire | 15:52 |
| mgedmin | oh, wait, you need to do pppoe? aaaugh I thought those times were gone forever! | 15:52 |
| ikonia | indica2018: you said "despite my best efforts I've not been able to solve it" - after you've been told not to use ppoeconf why are you still doing it ? | 15:53 |
| ikonia | indica2018: what are your "best efforts" to fix this - you where given the answer a few days ago, what did you do with it | 15:53 |
| movah4c | but i have something that i need under linux/mate/caja : How can i create own entries under "right click" -> "open with" (a shell script .sh)? | 15:54 |
| mgedmin | https://askubuntu.com/questions/966647/how-to-create-a-dsl-connection-in-network-manager-in-ubuntu-17-10?noredirect=1#comment1570644_966647 | 15:54 |
| indica2018 | @Ikonia: I run several P2P software on my PC and for full functionality and to do away with the hassel of port-forwarding I run my ADSL modem in bridge mode. So I have no other option but to use pppoeconf | 15:55 |
| ikonia | indica2018: that url that mgedmin is one of the urls that you where given last time | 15:55 |
| ikonia | indica2018: you have many options to not use ppoeconf, that URL shows you how | 15:55 |
| ikonia | and you where given that last time, | 15:55 |
| indica2018 | I know. It does not work | 15:55 |
| === gms is now known as Guest82379 | ||
| ikonia | define "does not work" | 15:55 |
| ikonia | let me find the other URL you where given so you can explain how it didn't work | 15:56 |
| pragmaticenigma | indica2018: that is how all DSL is... it's on copper pairs to all homes in the US as well. Restore the modem to handle the authentication of your connection and look up how to port forward from the modem to your computer, for the ports you need. | 15:56 |
| kaypey | Hi there, how can I grep for ASCII and UTF-8 in my results? I tried this and it works for ASCII, but I have no idea how to add UTF-(8to it. git ls-files | xargs file | grep "ASCII" | 15:57 |
| ikonia | indica2018: you're stefan right ? | 15:57 |
| indica2018 | Why should a common person have to bother about port-forwarding. Ubuntu should be versatile | 15:57 |
| ikonia | indica2018: port forwarding is nothing to do with the OS | 15:58 |
| pragmaticenigma | kaypey: git ls-files | xargs file | egrep "(ASCII|UTF-8)" | 15:58 |
| indica2018 | @ikonia: I am not stefan | 15:58 |
| ikonia | indica2018: again - explain why it "doesn't work" | 15:58 |
| ikonia | indica2018: thats ok, just checking if you where the same guy posting on askubuntu | 15:58 |
| phyte | port forwarding is a router thing. | 15:58 |
| indica2018 | But it has to do with modem | 15:58 |
| ikonia | indica2018: ubuntu doesn't control your modem | 15:58 |
| ikonia | indica2018: could you explain why the link you where given doesn't work please | 15:58 |
| indica2018 | The bottom line is that 16.04 had the option and Ubuntu's that came before that had it too. | 15:59 |
| ikonia | indica2018: could you explain why the link you where given doesn't work please | 15:59 |
| pragmaticenigma | indica2018: you have been given several suggestions, it is difficult to continue helping you if you are unwilling to help us too. You need to provide detailed information of the things you tried, and why you consider them not working. | 15:59 |
| kaypey | thx a lot pragmaticenigma it works :) | 16:00 |
| indica2018 | @ikonia: Plz date a remote of my system | 16:01 |
| ikonia | indica2018: please date a remote of your system ? | 16:01 |
| pragmaticenigma | kaypey: you're welcome | 16:01 |
| ikonia | indica2018: I don't know what that means | 16:01 |
| indica2018 | sorry , I said initiate a remote connection to my system | 16:02 |
| ikonia | indica2018: you want me to connect to your system ? | 16:02 |
| indica2018 | I have team viewer installed | 16:02 |
| indica2018 | ye | 16:02 |
| ikonia | indica2018: no | 16:02 |
| indica2018 | yes | 16:02 |
| pragmaticenigma | indica2018: that isn't something we do here and is not recommended. | 16:02 |
| ikonia | indica2018: I want you to tell me why the information / link you where given didn't work | 16:02 |
| pragmaticenigma | ikonia: you in -discuss? | 16:03 |
| ikonia | pragmaticenigma: don't think so | 16:03 |
| indica2018 | @ ikonia: what should I select for different fields on the DSL connection. Also when I select the ensp2 and try to save it does not save | 16:04 |
| movah4c | try pressing enter | 16:04 |
| indica2018 | I guess ensp2 is the correct option for me isn't it ? | 16:04 |
| pragmaticenigma | indica2018: those are settings that your internet provider has, we can't helo you with those | 16:05 |
| ikonia | indica2018: I'm not sure what you are saying, do you mean what do you enter to the menu prompts ? | 16:05 |
| ikonia | indica2018: you enter the details of your setup/network into the right fields | 16:05 |
| kaypey | bye | 16:05 |
| indica2018 | The ISP people are fools here | 16:05 |
| ikonia | indica2018: no they are not | 16:05 |
| ikonia | indica2018: you should know your connection details | 16:05 |
| indica2018 | Yes , it's India | 16:06 |
| ikonia | indica2018: I'm aware of where you are | 16:06 |
| indica2018 | I know my password and user id and I use BSNL , DataOne :-D | 16:06 |
| ikonia | indica2018: so what parts do you not know ? | 16:07 |
| bstutes | Can anyone tell me whuch channel to use for problems with libreoffice? | 16:07 |
| bstutes | whuch=which | 16:08 |
| indica2018 | I forgot. Now as I am talking to you I am using pppoeconf and my wired connection shows "unmanaged" now. I tried the option on a fresh install . Now it's no more a fresh install. | 16:09 |
| bstutes | I just upgraded to Ubuntu 18.04 and libreoffice will not run. It appears the javaldx executable is missing. | 16:09 |
| ikonia | indica2018: we can't help you if you don't give the information | 16:10 |
| movah4c | maybe, open xterm or another shell and lokkk at the errors | 16:10 |
| indica2018 | @ikonia: Please wait. It's sweletering hot in this part of India. Kolkata , I will return after taking a bath. :-( | 16:11 |
| ikonia | indica2018: many people in the channel will help if you provide the info | 16:11 |
| indica2018 | @ikonia: I guess you are from India too | 16:12 |
| indica2018 | @ikonia: So you will understand my problem better | 16:12 |
| ikonia | I think most people understand your problem, more so if you give the link you where given for context | 16:13 |
| ikonia | and give actual information on the problem rather than "doesn't work" or make up an excuse why you've not even tried it | 16:13 |
| phyte | I clean installed Ubuntu18 last month, everything was fine, yesterday BT stopped working, I've exhausted all solutions that I've found. | 16:13 |
| phyte | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/mCdDP7g2vH/ | 16:14 |
| indica2018 | I am going afkb | 16:14 |
| phyte | I think it might be atheros related; but I'm not sure how to deal with kernals | 16:15 |
| LevierMRQ | Im here for similar reasons. I did follow instructions in order to skip the grub (bug?) then my ubuntu 14 remade grub. An now, after several minutes (or less), it stall. I get the "pointeur" like mouse, without any place where to click. | 16:17 |
| retrosenator | how do I run a command at startup? | 16:20 |
| retrosenator | I want to run it as early as possible | 16:20 |
| retrosenator | rc.local is too late | 16:20 |
| LevierMRQ | Are desktops fixed time to time? Also: i heard about the problem with a certain Wordaw, or something like that. So then i have no stuff out of free software in my computer | 16:20 |
| pragmaticenigma | LevierMRQ: What do you mean similar reasons? Also, what version of Ubuntu... there is no Ubuntu 14 | 16:20 |
| pragmaticenigma | There is Ubuntu 14.04 and 14.10 | 16:20 |
| pragmaticenigma | retrosenator: what are you trying to do... rc.local is the first point where the system has the ability to execute commands when all necassary subsystems are up and running | 16:21 |
| retrosenator | pragmaticenigma: I only need /dev/spidev1.0 | 16:21 |
| oerheks_ | retrosenator, rc local too late? and what is so important to start before all ? | 16:21 |
| retrosenator | pragmaticenigma: I am displaying a splash screen on spi lcd | 16:21 |
| LevierMRQ | pragmaticenigma: absolutely . im havint 14.04 (i get rid of my 14.10). A very6 functionnal 16.04 too. | 16:21 |
| retrosenator | oerheks_: to show that it's working sooner is nice | 16:22 |
| retrosenator | I have a small c program that does the work if it can write to /dev/spidev1.0 | 16:22 |
| oerheks_ | retrosenator, oh, spidev1.0 is a miner, boring! | 16:22 |
| retrosenator | miner? | 16:22 |
| pragmaticenigma | retrosenator: digital currency? bitcoin | 16:23 |
| retrosenator | hah, no it's a nokia5110 spi cog lcd | 16:23 |
| retrosenator | I want it to show it's booting | 16:24 |
| retrosenator | I guess I could try to make a kernel module do it... | 16:24 |
| retrosenator | but really I just want to run a program really early in boot | 16:24 |
| pragmaticenigma | again, retrosenator.... rc.local is the first available slot where that would be possible | 16:24 |
| retrosenator | well that is just before the login prompt | 16:25 |
| retrosenator | which is a few seconds later than where I want | 16:25 |
| pragmaticenigma | retrosenator: then I believe what you are seeking is beyond the scope and knowledge of this channel... you could try #linux to see anywhere there has some suggestions | 16:26 |
| pragmaticenigma | s/anywhere/anyone/ | 16:26 |
| retrosenator | hm | 16:26 |
| retrosenator | hack it into init? | 16:26 |
| pragmaticenigma | retrosenator: Again, beyond the scope of this channel | 16:27 |
| pragmaticenigma | LevierMRQ: This might be a good time to use a live cd to copy your files somewhere, and consider installing a fresh, and newer version of Ubuntu. | 16:34 |

| designbybeck | if I have an external harddrive, it shows unmounted, but seems to still be spinning or feels like it at least...how do I know I can safely remove it | 16:43 |
| === SimonNL_Afk is now known as SimonNL | ||
| designbybeck | It is a WD 3TB USB3 harddrive | 16:44 |
| designbybeck | on Ubuntu 18.04 | 16:44 |
| pragmaticenigma | designbybeck: how are you "ejecting" or "removing" media? | 16:45 |
| designbybeck | pragmaticenigma: just right clicking on it and saying eject | 16:45 |
| pragmaticenigma | there is usually a toaster popup on the screen that says it's safe to remove... once you see that... you should be fine | 16:46 |
| ledeni | indica2018: can you check 'systemctl status ModemManager' | 16:46 |
| designbybeck | i havne't seen that pragmaticenigma. I tried clicking mount and letting it mount, and then ejecting it again, but it seems like it is still spinning | 16:48 |
| oerheks_ | type mount to see if it is still mounted ? | 16:49 |
| oerheks_ | if not, go wild and jank the cable out | 16:49 |
| designbybeck | this is a brand new drive and I just backed stuff up to it, so I'm trying to not mess this up pragmaticenigma | 16:54 |
| designbybeck | oerheks_: i typed mount but see a bunch of stuff | 16:54 |
| designbybeck | oerheks_: I did an lsusb and see the WD drive there | 16:55 |
| designbybeck | https://thepasteb.in/p/zmh8yYXBKz6CZ | 16:56 |
| designbybeck | oerhek ^ that was lsblk | 16:56 |
| oerheks_ | easy to check if that sdb1/sdc1/sdd1 is present.. | 16:56 |
| oerheks_ | so it is sdc1, does that show up in mount? | 16:56 |
| === aric is now known as aric49 | ||
| designbybeck | I did mount | grep sdc | 16:57 |

| RedNifre | Hey there. How can I repair snap? I can only run snaps with "snap run X" but neither directly via command line or via the launcher. | 17:05 |
| RedNifre | All the snaps I installed have disappeared from the side launcher as well. | 17:06 |
| pragmaticenigma | LevierMRQ: I don't know how to help. My suggestion is to back up your data, install just Ubuntu 18.04 fresh on your machine and restore your files from back up | 17:14 |
| movah4c | How can i create own entries/files under "right click" -> "open with" (a shell script .sh)? (linux/mate/caja) I need something that is similar to "send to..." under windows | 17:20 |
| oerheks_ | movah4c, not sure, under gnome3 it would be nautilus-actions | 17:21 |
| SimonNL | isn't other application shown in open with movah4c | 17:22 |
| movah4c | there a other progrma but that ones are from the list i get provided | 17:23 |

| nacc | RedNifre: is /snap/bin in $PATH? | 17:24 |
| RedNifre | Hm, it's not! (I did `echo $PATH`) | 17:25 |
| nacc | RedNifre: and you're on ubuntu? | 17:25 |
| RedNifre | I guess this is caused by fish shell then? I installed fish, then rebooted... | 17:25 |
| nacc | RedNifre: are you running bash as your shll? | 17:25 |
| nacc | RedNifre: yes, that's why. | 17:25 |

| RedNifre | Thank you, I'll ask the fish people for the best solution to this problem then. | 17:27 |
| movah4c | oerheks_: no that is not the right program for it... On windows i made my own program for it, but only usable over a browser protocol | 17:29 |
| andrew09 | Is there anyway to sync music to an Iphone 6 using Ubuntu 18.04? | 17:29 |
| movah4c | something that adds an entry to the "right click" menu under caja would be usefull.. (on windows you edit the registry for it) | 17:30 |
| movah4c | over programm name extenions like : .txt .doc .pdf | 17:32 |
| RedNifre | Ubuntu normally just uses bash so I should be able to revert it with `chsh s `which bash``, right? | 17:32 |
| movah4c | that is how i can add programs to the list under windows | 17:33 |
| movah4c | arg .. that's not right.. i get my own entry | 17:33 |
| ioria | movah4c, you edit a .desktop file under .local/share/applications,then select it from open with -> other apps -> view all apss -> select | 17:34 |
| movah4c | k i try | 17:35 |
| regrd | Hi! I'm installing Kubuntu and have to partition the disk manually. I'm creating a 100GB partition for Kubuntu, and it's asking me what mount point I should set. Normally, I'd set / as the point, but a guide online(specific to my issue) advised me to make a separate /home partition. What're the dis/advantages to making a separate /home partition? | 17:35 |
| pragmaticenigma | regrd: a separate home partition means if you do a reinstall, you can keep the old /home and when you first boot, with the same user, you do not have to resetup all your customizations to your DE. Also, your files will not be touched during the reinstall | 17:37 |
| regrd | Does that apply across distros? Can I install debian and ubuntu at the same time, and make them use the same home partition? | 17:37 |
| nacc | that assumes they are always compatible, which there is no guarantee they would be | 17:38 |
| regrd | So just making a root partition(for both separately) would fulfill my needs? | 17:39 |
| pragmaticenigma | regrd: you could, but you may run into issues... some programs aren't tolerant to different versions editing their config files. Debian and Ubuntu, while very similar, often have different versions of the programs you use | 17:40 |
| Nordo | hello everyone! | 17:40 |
| pragmaticenigma | regrd: my comment was for sharing the home directory | 17:40 |
| regrd | Thanks, pragmaticenigma. I think I'll go with separate partitions for both. The guide also asks me to make a swap partition which is twice the size of the RAM. Is that correct? | 17:41 |
| Nordo | now that i have never used ubuntu (or any linux based system) on a physical machine, i want to ask a few questions, 1-does ubuntu have its own separate bootloader? and 2-does it have Intel HD graphics drivers? i just thought of dual-booting linux with windows 7 | 17:44 |
| oerheks_ | Nordo, yes; and yes | 17:44 |
| pragmaticenigma | regrd: that is typically the standard practice... how much RAM is avaialable? Side note, you can share the swap partition for the two distributions | 17:45 |
| movah4c | @ioria: that's it. but i needed a .sh file that runs the program "geany" with $1... thank you ... | 17:45 |
| Nordo | also, about specs, does ubuntu run smoothly with Intel i3 M 370 along with 3GB of ram? | 17:45 |
| regrd | Thanks, pragmaticenigma! I have 8GB of RAM on my system. | 17:46 |
| movah4c | @ioria: a own entry in that menu would be better because if i right click on a .desktop shortcut i can't see that entry | 17:47 |
| pragmaticenigma | with 8 gigs, you probably are okay with creating an 8 gig swap file. There are some different recommendations if you are using an SSD | 17:47 |
| pragmaticenigma | regrd: with 8 gigs, you probably are okay with creating an 8 gig swap file. There are some different recommendations if you are using an SSD | 17:47 |
| === LevierMRQ1 is now known as LevierMRQ | ||
| regrd | Aaa! I already hit start on the installation process, and I don't think I can go back. Can I format the swap area and make a smaller one on the next installation? | 17:48 |
| Nordo | hm, can i get an answer for my question? | 17:49 |
| oerheks_ | Nordo, just try and see | 17:49 |
| Nordo | hmm alright, sorry for disturbing, thanks for answer | 17:50 |
| ioria | movah4c, it works ok with .desktop shortcuts ... i guess i lost you | 17:50 |
| Nordo | can i create a dual boot just like when i want to install a windows os along with windows? | 17:50 |
| regrd | Nordo: Probably will run pretty well. | 17:51 |
| movah4c | yes but if i right click a .desktop shortcut i can't open the shortcut with geany | 17:51 |
| oerheks_ | Nordo, you might want to read about all flavors, different desktops, some are light, others more advanced | 17:51 |
| oerheks_ | !flavor | 17:51 |
| ubottu | Recognized Ubuntu flavors build on Ubuntu and provide a different user experience out of the box. They are supported both in #ubuntu and in their flavor channel. For a list, see https://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu-flavours | 17:51 |
| ioria | movah4c, so your .desktop file in .local/share/applications is not right | 17:51 |
| movah4c | i need it for an hex editor/viewer | 17:51 |
| pragmaticenigma | regrd: there are ways to resize it later... for now, just continue | 17:52 |
| movah4c | mc | 17:52 |
| movah4c | hah :) | 17:52 |
| Nordo | just one more question, when downloading software that says that it does work with ubuntu, and it didnt say that it works with lubuntu/kubuntu, does that mean its not going to work? | 17:53 |
| Nordo | oh and sorry for my bad english, not my native language | 17:53 |
| oerheks_ | Nordo, maybe.. maybe not, without proper info we cannot tell | 17:54 |
| Nordo | alright. thank you | 17:54 |
| jerichowasahoax | in most cases it should work fine however | 17:54 |
| regrd | pragmaticenigma, it's installing. Now I play the waiting game. | 17:55 |
| oerheks_ | a Kubuntu program on gnome pulls in a lot of Kde dependencies | 17:55 |
| Jordan_U | Nordo: Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Lubuntu/ other flavors are all the same "Operating System". They're all the same distribution, and all of the software comes from the same repositories. The difference between flavors is just a difference between which packages are installed by default. | 17:55 |
| movah4c | i placed the .sh file in my own directory "/home/bla/links/linux/geany.sh" (geany $1) in it. Then selected it over "right-click"-->"open with" but if i use other file types the entry is not there | 17:56 |
| movah4c | onyl "Open" but i don't want to open it i want to be displayed what's in the .desktop file | 17:56 |
| Jordan_U | Nordo: There may be an odd piece of software that very tightly integrates into a certain desktop, like a notification applet of some kind, but even notification applets generally work across all desktops. Standalone apps are pretty much guaranteed to work on any flavor. | 17:57 |
| RonWhoCares | I just upgraded to Ubuntu 18.04 . Is there a way I can program / set ALT-Print Screen to capture the current window? Right now when I do this a 'Please Type your Command' window opens | 17:57 |

| regrd | Yep, RonWhoCares, this should not require a reboot. Just click OK on the settings panel and it should apply. | 18:06 |
| movah4c | or you have another programm runnings that's blocking your "keyboard shortcut" | 18:06 |
| movah4c | haveing the same issues with my own media player ;) but it doesn't bother me | 18:08 |
| RonWhoCares | movah4c: That didn't work | 18:09 |
| movah4c | what do you as your window manager ? | 18:09 |
| RonWhoCares | How do I check? | 18:09 |
| movah4c | kde, gnome, fluxbox, openbox, .. | 18:09 |
| movah4c | alt f2 -> xterm -> ps -u<yourusername> | 18:10 |
| jose4141 | hola | 18:12 |
| RonWhoCares | Is "Unity" an option | 18:16 |
| movah4c | RonWhocares: if you open a terminal then there is a "Edit" --> "Profile Settings" menu where you can change the keyboard shortcuts for the console windows | 18:16 |
| regrd | Yes, RonWhoCares. | 18:16 |
| RonWhoCares | movah4c: Unity | 18:16 |
| movah4c | sorry can't help you there... i never installed unity | 18:16 |
| movah4c | but from where do you want to take screenshots? | 18:17 |
| RonWhoCares | I have done what you said | 18:17 |
| regrd | RonWhoCares, you could install a screenshot program and set its hotkey to whatever you want | 18:17 |
| === gms is now known as Guest65678 | ||

| Guest86867 | Hello, know you how canI set the Ubuntu default editor to geany in place of gedit ? | 18:53 |
| fightthewalrus | hi, I'm trying to set my DNS resolution to OpenNIC servers. I've already "shopped" around the server list to get the ones best suited to me and overwrote resolv.conf to point there. A ping or dig test confirms it works | 19:04 |
| fightthewalrus | however, whenever I reboot or suspend the computer, resolv.conf gets overwritten and I have to manually write it again | 19:04 |
| fightthewalrus | I've read around that NetworkManager takes the opportunity to overwrite that file every time it starts up, and that I can disable it by editing its own .conf file to state dns=none, but that doesn't work either | 19:05 |
| fightthewalrus | so my question is: how can I stop NetworkManager or another process from overwriting my resolv.conf file in Ubuntu Bionic? | 19:06 |

| transhuman | ppf http://freedns.afraid.org/zc.php?from=L2R5bmFtaWMv this shows a list after you log in of dyndns clients | 19:37 |

| === Lacroix is now known as Guest21368 | ||
| nacc | pj_: it can't if you've overflowed the buffer; otherwise, it does. | 19:40 |
| nacc | transhuman: did you define the guest to have 8g of RAM? YOu don't usually give a guest all of host memory (nor can you really) | 19:41 |
| pj_ | thanks, nacc. do you by any chance know how can I stop overflowing it? | 19:42 |
| William_2 | Hey guys, what do you find about upgrade an old ubuntu version to new ubuntu version since apt | 19:44 |
| ppf | transhuman: not sure i get what you mean? | 19:44 |
| William_2 | ? | 19:44 |
| ppf | i don't have an account on that site | 19:44 |
| nacc | pj_: i mean, it depends on what is logging, etc. you might be able to also increase the size of the buffer (log_buf_len kernel parameter) | 19:44 |
| ppf | i'm looking for a dyndns client that lets me update a name with an IP | 19:44 |
| transhuman | ppf they have a complete list of clients just create an account | 19:45 |
| nacc | William_2: that question doesn't parse very well to me. What version of ubuntu are you on and what version do you want to upgrade to? | 19:45 |
| ppf | wat, i'm not making a n account there to get a list of ddns clients O.o | 19:45 |
| transhuman | nacc I am just trying to figure out why it doesnt have it available but there is something called hugepages that needs to be enabled | 19:45 |
| transhuman | someone else told me about | 19:46 |
| transhuman | ppf ok then dont I just got my list of dyndns clients from there when I was looking | 19:46 |
| transhuman | several scripts too | 19:46 |
| transhuman | there is a good one for windows that allows you to manually update | 19:47 |
| transhuman | the scripts can be run at any time | 19:47 |
| transhuman | or the ones with services can be restarted | 19:47 |
| nacc | transhuman: what are you talking about? hugepages is unrelated to how much memory your guest is defined to have. | 19:47 |
| pj_ | nacc: okay, am I supposed to enlarge the size of the log in grub.conf? | 19:47 |
| ppf | transhuman: so can you recommend one? | 19:48 |
| transhuman | oh I see nacc, thats what someone suggested might show a low limit of them. I will look elsewhere | 19:48 |
| transhuman | ppf let me log in and get the list | 19:48 |
| nacc | pj_: you would edit /etc/default/grub and append log_buf_len=n[KMG] (for KB, MB or GB). n has to be a power of 2. default is 128k, iirc | 19:48 |
| nacc | transhuman: what do you mean 'limit'? You're using the wrong terminology. | 19:48 |
| ppf | i only need oneshot updates, no daemon, no guessing of an IP, no magic | 19:48 |
| gpap | back to unity for me :(. Two installations, one 16.04 and the second 18.04 | 19:49 |
| nacc | transhuman: you have a KVM guest, yes? How did you start it? | 19:49 |
| transhuman | I am starting it from virt-manager nacc, but it wont let me add more than 8 gig of ram which seems weird | 19:49 |
| transhuman | since its the only vm I have | 19:49 |
| transhuman | ppf here you go http://paste.debian.net/1028103/ | 19:50 |
| nacc | transhuman: can you share a screenshot? it's a -/+ thing, so you're saying that it won't let you +? | 19:51 |
| transhuman | exactly, it wont let you add more than that | 19:51 |
| transhuman | it only sees 9775 gig for host memory | 19:51 |
| ppf | transhuman: thanks! | 19:51 |
| nacc | transhuman: does it emit an error? i am able to start a guest with more than 8GB of RAM here just fine | 19:51 |
| nacc | transhuman: oh... well that would be the problem | 19:51 |
| nacc | transhuman: it helps to describe *fully* your problem from the get-go. | 19:51 |
| transhuman | not sure why its not seeing it | 19:51 |
| transhuman | maybe my ecc chip outs has detected a problem | 19:52 |
| transhuman | I will check the size of memory from a terminal | 19:52 |
| pj_ | nacc: ok, I will try that. Thanks a lot, mate! | 19:52 |
| transhuman | hmmm, the host doesn't see it either | 19:53 |
| ppf | wait, is dyndns2 just REST? | 19:53 |
| nacc | transhuman: then that's the problem. | 19:54 |
| transhuman | ok thanks for helping me figure it out nacc, I will check the bios and then maybe check edac-utils and bios error logs | 19:59 |
| transhuman | thats probably the cause of the slow down | 20:00 |
| pj_ | nacc: meh, it didn't help - the size of the log is ~256 kB. Can I see the changed size of the log in grub.cfg file after updating the grub? | 20:00 |
| === caribou_ is now known as caribou | ||
| nacc | pj_: you have to reboot, you know that right? | 20:02 |
| nacc | pj_: you're changing the size of a kernel buffer allocation | 20:02 |
| pj_ | so double reboot then? | 20:02 |

| oerheks_ | ramsub07, maybe the filesystem is unmounted dirty, broken filetable or something, perform a fsck.ext4 | 20:23 |
| ikonia | ramsub07: clue is in the error "READ ONLY" | 20:23 |

| ramsub07 | oerheks_, ikonia: how should i make the drive writable? | 20:23 |
| ikonia | as oerheks_ suggested for some reason it's been mounted read only, you need to know why | 20:24 |
| oerheks_ | unmount the partition and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilesystemTroubleshooting#e2fsprogs_-_ext2.2C_ext3.2C_ext4_filesystems | 20:24 |

| zenox | hi | 20:26 |

| zenox | why is there no official ubunut 18 vagrant image? | 20:26 |
| ramsub07 | ikonia: how to see the reason? | 20:26 |
| ikonia | ramsub07: oerheks_ gave you a link with some info and made some suggestions | 20:26 |

| cloudbud | I am trying to execute a script in service file using command exec python app.py -u devops >> app.log 2>&1 but the script is still starting as root user. can anybody help me | 20:31 |

| cloudbud | ikonia : user I beleive | 20:32 |

| cloudbud | ikonia :I did not get you | 20:32 |
| ikonia | cloudbud: in the command " exec python app.py -u devops " what part of that supports -u | 20:33 |
| oerheks_ | if only root owns app.py... | 20:33 |
| oerheks_ | -u Force stdin, stdout and stderr to be totally unbuffered. | 20:33 |
| ikonia | oerheks_: do you understand what supports -u here ? | 20:34 |
| cloudbud | ikonia : ideally it should support running app.py | 20:34 |
| oerheks_ | i think python | 20:34 |
| ikonia | cloudbud: but what part of that string supports -u | 20:34 |
| ikonia | oerheks_: I don't see it in the python man page, but I'm not %100 | 20:34 |
| oerheks_ | i did, it just ignores buffering | 20:35 |
| cloudbud | ikonia : devops is the user | 20:35 |
| cloudbud | how to change the statement | 20:35 |
| ikonia | cloudbud: I know it's the user, but what "command" supports -u | 20:35 |
| ikonia | oerheks_: python 2 or 3 | 20:35 |
| cloudbud | ikonia L i relly dont have idea | 20:35 |
| ikonia | cloudbud: who is writing this script/service file | 20:36 |
| cloudbud | how to modify this | 20:36 |
| ikonia | cloudbud: who is writing this script/service file | 20:36 |
| cloudbud | I am writing service file | 20:36 |
| oerheks_ | good call, ikonia , python3 is a little different | 20:36 |
| cloudbud | ikonia | 20:36 |
| ikonia | cloudbud: you're writing it, but you are using "-u" but you don't know what command supports -u | 20:36 |
| ikonia | that doesn't make sense | 20:36 |
| ikonia | if you're writing it and passing "-u" you must know what you're passing it to | 20:37 |
| oerheks_ | -u Force the binary I/O layers of stdout and stderr to be unbuffered. stdin is always buffered. The text I/O layer will still be line-buffered. | 20:37 |
| cloudbud | i have copied it ikonia from some file the exec file | 20:37 |
| ikonia | cloudbud: ok - so you're not writing it, you're just blindly copying it | 20:37 |
| cloudbud | ikonia : i thought it will execute like devops user | 20:37 |
| ikonia | cloudbud: yes, but you actually have no idea what it does, you're just blindly copying it | 20:38 |
| cloudbud | ikonia : can you tell me which switch i should use | 20:38 |
| ikonia | cloudbud: no idea, hence why I was asking how you're expecting this to work, oerheks_ has found -u as part of python 2 and the restrictions around it's use | 20:39 |
| ikonia | oerheks_: just found it in the python 2 man page, thank you | 20:39 |

| stevecoh1 | this is a coming from a script that installs a driver for Epson V-300 scanner. It is running on a recently installed Ubuntu 18.04 and I have not touched repositories yet. | 22:08 |
| nacc | stevecoh1: your script is busted and/or your base configuration is | 22:09 |
| nacc | stevecoh1: pastebin /etc/apt/source.list | 22:09 |
| Nubs | anyone around to help with install issues | 22:10 |
| stevecoh1 | The things it's failing to install are dependencies of the things it's trying to install. $ cat /etc/apt/source.list | 22:10 |
| stevecoh1 | cat: /etc/apt/source.list: No such file or directory | 22:10 |
| oerheks_ | * sources.list | 22:11 |
| oerheks_ | = proof that naxcc is human :-D | 22:11 |
| oerheks_ | Nubs, ask, wait and see | 22:11 |
| nacc | stevecoh1: stop. listen to us first. Your sources are incorrectly configured, full stop. | 22:12 |
| compdoc | Nub, just explain the problem | 22:12 |
| nacc | oerheks_: bah :) | 22:12 |
| Nubs | I am having issue with the install. i get he install screen to run after the boot of my pc, i click on insyall , then it takes me to a black screen with a _ in the top left | 22:12 |
| stevecoh1 | https://pastebin.com/YVu7gZaq | 22:13 |
| Nubs | ive tried installing from Dvd and flash drives | 22:13 |
| nacc | stevecoh1: line 53 and 54 of your file are incorrect. | 22:13 |
| stevecoh1 | I'm trying to listen. You asked for sources.list and I put it in a pastebin. | 22:13 |
| stevecoh1 | ok, what should I do with them? | 22:14 |
| nacc | stevecoh1: replace archive.canonical.com in those lines with us.archive.ubuntu.com | 22:14 |
| nacc | stevecoh1: then run `sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get update` | 22:15 |
| stevecoh1 | ok, thanks, let me try that. | 22:15 |
| oerheks_ | Nubs, when at the point, chooing live/install, hit F6 Nomodeset | 22:16 |
| oerheks_ | !nomodeset | 22:16 |
| ubottu | A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 22:16 |
| migrantFour | Hello, is there any way to prevent systemd-resolved from resolving private network addresses (e.g. 10.x.x.x. 192.168) to localhost. This what happens for my vpn connections since update to bionic beaver. | 22:17 |
| Nubs | f6 didnt do anything | 22:18 |
| Nubs | i can press 'e' to edit commands or 'c' for command line | 22:19 |
| stevecoh1 | thank you very much. Actually, after changing those lines, they were duplicates. After removing them altogether the install script worked without errors. | 22:22 |
| Nubs | TY Oerherk_ i added the nomodeset edit commands and its working now | 22:23 |
| stevecoh1 | I have no idea how this might have happened. I had not touched sources.list, but something might have. | 22:23 |
| oerheks_ | Nubs, oke, good job, see after install if this happens still, use nomodeset and install (nvidia) drivers i guess | 22:24 |
| Nubs | ok Thanks! | 22:25 |
| stevecoh1 | however, that didn't make the scanner work. Back to drawing board. | 22:25 |
| stevecoh1 | next question: if sane-find-scanner doesn't find the scanner, but sudo sane-find-scanner does, where do I change permissions necessary so it can work? | 22:27 |

| leftyfb | !info tilix | 23:07 |
| oerheks_ | you mean tilix ? | 23:07 |
| ubottu | tilix (source: tilix): Tiling terminal emulator for GNOME. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.7.7-1ubuntu2 (bionic), package size 581 kB, installed size 2851 kB | 23:07 |
| oerheks_ | this is what i see when it starts.. https://imgur.com/a/eH9JNgT | 23:08 |
| oerheks_ | but the top bar is not that weird | 23:08 |
| han_ | maybe I can install vim | 23:15 |
| han_ | Is there a good on-line linux magazine? | 23:17 |
| oerheks_ | http://fridge.ubuntu.com/ is a start, for ubuntu that is | 23:19 |
| genii | han_: Linux Journal is online, but only limited articles and reviews without an actual subscription ( something like $35 USD for a year ) | 23:23 |
| tona | hi i had installed sudo apt install mailutils, but i selected not setting, is there another way to launch the assistant :) | 23:27 |
| Gigabitten | so I replaced my Windows bootloader with grub, since it was booting straight to Windows and boot-repair was no help. It was long and arduous and involved a lot of help from someone here. Then Windows update happened and broke it all over again. | 23:28 |
| Gigabitten | Could I please have some help solving this problem, hopefully permanently? | 23:28 |
| han_ | Thank you all | 23:39 |
