(Ubuntu 18.04) [01:59] pressure679, i hope so .. https://codywu2010.wordpress.com/2015/09/27/cpuset-by-example/ [02:31] I'm using lubuntu, I installed Konsole because it has an "Open with File Manger" option, but when I use it, it opens SoundConverter, not PCManFM, is there a way to connect konsole to the fm without using kde? [02:45] hi! anyone know if there is a quick way to enable host to VM networking capability in Ubuntu 18.04 with KVM host and guests [02:45] looking to do this temporarily === tnewman3 is now known as tnewman [02:53] I'm having trouble printing from my Mac. I just discovered that when CUPS tries to print something it converts it to a PDF and leaves it in /tmp, so I've been able to determine that it's a font problem. But I don't know how to fix it. [02:54] I printed the same simple web page from ubuntu and from the mac. The ubuntu pdf has fonts LiberationSerif and LiberationSerif-Bold. The mac pdf has PFIADN+Times-Roman and PFIADN+Times-Bold. [02:55] is it possible to use CUDA while using a prime intel profile? [02:55] because like I want CUDA but my laptop only lasts 50 minutes battery when I have nvidia card enabled [02:55] If I open the pdf in xpdf, it uses the liberation fonts and I can print from inside there and it looks fine. But if I just run "lpr bad.pdf" the fonts are all boxes. [02:56] Anyone know if it's possible to get CUPS to use the right fonts? This was all working in 17.10 but broke in 18.04. === siton is now known as OnlOOker [03:04] Is there an ubuntu related offtopic chat [03:05] !offtopic | floatsmahgoat [03:05] floatsmahgoat: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please register with NickServ (see /msg ubottu !register) and use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [03:11] i think that is what actually happens with cuda, you use the onboard intel *plus* the nvidia for cuda.. [03:13] oerheks: I found some webarticles too about this topic (cgroup configuration), but it seems one has to have full code space/time complexity analysis and library dependency analysis, and share memory (if they don't) instead of objects. - I am not sure though. [03:13] objects as in .so files. [03:14] I could be wrong if whether or not software bundles do this by source though. [03:16] - The motive of my question is to optimize Linux/Ubuntu. [03:18] I am not sure how each Linux distro handles .so files, if they do (and not the linux kernel), and how they derive values from the .so files. [03:19] But at least there are .so files for single programs, and after what I read libgnu does not share c types over software bundle if they do not communicate memory. [03:20] But after what I have experienced hardware might as well do this as well as the OS. === r0Oter is now known as r00ter [03:43] howdy/ [03:44] is unity in 18.04?

Does anyone have a sec to work through it with me? [08:18] Google hasn't been terribly helpful and I'm reluctant to touch anything with a dist upgrade going on [08:19] TetsuEn: can you go to https://paste.ubuntu.com/ and paste the contents of the error?? [08:20] yep [08:20] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Nr9hpTwRPt/ Here's what the terminal is showing [08:21] TetsuEn: thanks, i'll have a look rn [08:21] Thanks a bunch [08:22] TetsuEn: are you SSH'd into this box by any means? [08:22] by any chance*, even. i need coffee [08:22] Nope, it's the laptop I'm on right now [08:22] Not a server [08:23] hmmm, because i normally see weirdness like this due to locale mismatches between two machines - i'll dig deeper! [08:23] Much appreciated. If you need me to cat any files just let me know [08:25] I should also note that the upgrade process hasn't ended, I still have a blinking cursor, but it's hung for at least half an hour already [08:25] TetsuEn: it's okay to hit ctrl+c on this. dist-upgrade is smart [08:26] ok that's great [08:27] do you know what the locale you're using is? [08:27] Not off the top of my head. I'll check [08:28] I'm American and use English as the display language but I'm located in China so I'm not sure which it's set to [08:28] pkg-config --cflags --libs sdl2 <—— what it is? [08:28] TetsuEn: ha, okay. can you paste the output of the `locale` command to the same website i gave you earlier? [08:29] sure [08:29] pocketmon: i'll need more information [08:30] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/4SJzKqyrfC/ [08:30] g++ sdl.cpp `pkg-config --cflags --libs sdl2` Allie` [08:30] The formatting is ugly as sin [08:30] but that's it [08:31] pocketmon: aha, there we go! so, `pkg-config` is a reasonably cross-platform way to provide the correct platform-specific compiler flags to a compiler, in your instance, `g++`. in this case, it's adding the appropriate flags to compile with the `sdl2` library! [08:32] you can actually run `pkg-config --cflags --libs sdl2` and see exactly what flags it's using [08:33] TetsuEn: and, cat your `/etc/environment`? [08:34] PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games [08:35] TetsuEn: okay, try the solution from this answer: https://askubuntu.com/a/817371 [08:35] Allie`: thanks a lot :) [08:35] pocketmon: no worries! [08:36] Allie`: ok, I'll try it and let you know. Once I've done it I should re-run the upgrade yeah? [08:36] yeah, it'll pick up where it left off [08:36] cool [08:36] has anyone experience this? LibreOffice in 18.04 showing files as existing but they don't show up in Nautilus or in the terminal? [08:39] zetheroo, do the filenames contain a '.' (fullstop) as first character? by chance? [08:39] guiverc_t: no, they aren't hidden files [08:40] zetheroo: stupid question, but are you using `ls -a`? [08:40] it's as if LibreOffice is looking in another "Home" ... [08:40] Allie`: in the term I am using ll [08:41] Allie`: The command sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales hangs after I enter my sudo password :/ [08:41] Allie`: It just sits there with a blinking cursor despite my having hit enter [08:41] TetsuEn: give it a little time, it takes a while [08:41] ah ok [08:42] zetheroo: try creating a file (`touch file.ext`) in the same directory, and see if you can see that in libreoffice [08:42] Allie`: So it's ok, that it's still sitting on [sudo] password for : ? [08:42] another weird thing is that when wanting to open a file LibreOffice defaults to the /tmp location [08:43] Allie`: already tried that - doesn't show up in LO [08:44] It's like LO is living in it's own little world :P [08:44] zetheroo, i'd check your "tools options paths" for something unusual in libreoffice... [08:44] TetsuEn: if you want more info, you can call `dpkg` with `--debug=10` and you'll see it scrolling :P [08:44] (ie. it'll show paths for docs, templates, backups etc..) [08:45] I installed this via the Ubuntu Software tool on a fresh install of 18.04 ... this should not be happening [08:46] I found where LO is working in: /home/$USER/snap/libreoffice/65/ [08:47] Allie`: That's not the problem. Something about the upgrade messed up my terminal. I just tried sudo apt-get search and can't get past entering my sudo password [08:47] come on - that broken! [08:47] It's not moving past that [08:47] zetheroo, (this is a guess; but `snap list` to view snaps installed; to ensure you installed the deb libreoffice & not a snap packaged version) [08:47] Allie`: Could it be because I'm running zsh and something went wonky with the upgrade? [08:47] TetsuEn: run sudo dpkg --configure -a [08:48] that'll tidy up after the dist-upgrade, just in case something IS squiff [08:48] guiverc_t: it's a snap [08:48] broken [08:48] Allie`: I can't. Anything run with sudo can't move past entering my password [08:48] LO is the number 1 main Office suite for Ubuntu - how was this not tested before going to LTS? [08:49] now how do I completely rid my system of this? [08:49] Allie`: I tried sudo echo "Hi" and it did the same thing. Just acts like I haven't entered a password [08:50] Allie`: ok, a new tab can move past it. I'll try those commands again [08:50] yeah, i think something about that terminal session is bork [08:52] Ugh [08:52] it happens :P [08:52] zetheroo, you said you installed it using ubuntu software tool; I don't use it, but I've heard it lists snaps & deb packages. maybe `sudo snap remove libreoffice` (or whatever its called) then `sudo apt install libreoffice` (https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/libreoffice) [08:52] sudo dpkg --configure -a says: dpkg: error: dpkg status database is locked by another process [08:53] I'll pastebin what the locale reconfigure did [08:53] Allie`: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/JPTV6zJYYD/ [08:54] what I am missing https://pastebin.com/vArqQhwG [08:54] getting error error: /etc/logrotate.d/app.conf:15 missing '{' after log files definition [08:54] Okay, so, the isntaller isn't finding my disk even though I can partition it through fdisk. ALTHOUGH the installer finds a disk that it thinks is around 30T large [08:54] got it [08:54] TetsuEn: https://askubuntu.com/a/291584 [08:54] that'll fix your lock issue [08:55] Is there an alternate route for installation so I can just dump everything on my disk? [08:55] guiverc_t: right, the Ubuntu Software tool is the default go-to tool for installing software, and when you search for LibreOffice the very first hit is this Snap, but there is no way to see that it is a Snap unless you look at the bottom of the description where it says 'Source Snap Store' - and for the average user that's not going to mean anything. Add to that this this Snap is broken, and it's going to be one of the first things ins [08:55] talled by Ubuntu users. Boggles the mind ... seriously. [08:55] This is 18.04, by the way [08:56] zetheroo, yeah I believe i've heard it mentioned on the ubuntu podcast (uk) [08:57] time to file a bug report :D [08:57] TetsuEn: and `locale-gen en_US.UTF-8 && dpkg-reconfigure locales`_should_ clear up your locale wonk [08:58] Hope so. dpkg --configure -a ended with "too many errors" [08:58] :/ === guiverc_t is now known as guiverc [08:59] TetsuEn: try an `apt-get autoclean` before `dpkg --configure -a` [09:01] Allie`: still ended with too many errors [09:01] okay, that's weird [09:02] yeah, almost everything it tried ended with an error [09:02] and then it just noped on out of the process [09:02] i may have to defer this to someone who's more adept with broken operating systems than me [09:03] I'm going to run the upgrade one more time and keep my fingers crossed. If it's not fixed I need to pack up and head home and will probably just burn a boot disk and do it the old fashioned way [09:04] heh, yeah, that's what I'd do ;) [09:04] sorry i couldn't be of more help! [09:04] You did your best. Thanks a ton! [09:06] hi [09:07] any body? [09:07] i need help [09:07] hi mohhamad, what's the issue you're facing [09:07] whit my loptop graphic [09:08] after installing compiz [09:08] in compiz is good but in gnome-shell not good [09:08] in gnome-shell is lagy === SimonNL is now known as SimonNL_Afk === beck_ is now known as _beck_ [09:31] hello [09:31] does ubuntu run on blobs in the OS, and the kernel... [09:32] if so which ones are the blobs, - because I used to think ubuntu is full open source, because the drivers like noveau stand as the attestment for it, what other drivers are blobs, and not GNU compatible. [09:33] fofalee: I think you're looking for Triskel and perhaps even Purism hardware. Ubuntu is not (fully) Libre, no. [09:33] fofalee, this may help https://askubuntu.com/questions/533661/is-ubuntu-an-open-source-software [09:34] also note that "GNU compatible" makes a difference between "open source" and "libre" (free) software. [09:34] fofalee, myself I like debian terminology (free, nonfree), since a ton of Ubuntu is from debian (upstream) you know that is free... but ubuntu doesn't hide its non-free === SimonNL_Afk is now known as SimonNL [09:39] fofalee, https://www.ubuntu.com/licensing [09:41] hi all [09:49] Hey guys. Still on 16.04. I've got a win10 machine with a network share in my network and i'm trying to get access to it [09:49] Is there a somewhat complete guide on how to configure samba client to work? for example in some articles I've read about creating mount points, in others i didn't. [09:51] Anticom: did you try the most simple of them, typing smb:// in the Location bar of Nautilus? [09:51] (the file manager) [09:51] blackflow: of course [09:52] doesn't work? [09:52] And smb://ip/share and smb://hostname/share and so on and so on [09:52] i tried every possible combination [09:52] q all [09:53] Anticom: I used smb very little, but that always worked for me. Are you sure the Windows side is properly configured? [09:53] blackflow: i'm at office currently and there are like 20 windows machines and 10 macs having access to that very share [09:54] so unless there's special config for linux needed i think it's properly set up [09:55] Anticom: sorry, "just works via file manager" is where my experience with Samba ends. [09:56] blackflow: well there are currently 1674 ppl in this channel... i suppose one of them will be able to help me out so don't worry ;) [09:56] Anticom: maybe these few command line tips might help: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/samba#Discovering_network_shares [09:57] Anticom: I echo blackflow, that *should* just work. what's the error its' giving you [09:57] Anticom: most are bots :) [09:59] beep boop am bot [09:59] 8 [10:01] Anticom, the command must match the 'server' defaults, sec=ntlm,charset=utf8,vers=1.0 etc or whatever version matches the windoze setup used (dir_mod=...file_mode=...) ya sure you tried em all? [10:02] guiverc: don't quite get what you mean with that [10:02] Like where do i have to put that? is it part of the URI? [10:02] (I found i had to add some of those on 16.04.. to mount nas shares that predate 14.04 so my server (nas) wasn't changed) -o (options on `mount` command) [10:03] do i need to create a mount point now or not? Was asking for a somewhat complete guide originally [10:05] Anticom, do you have a mount point you can use?? I create my own as I want it to use a specific place (that I'll remember & always be the same).. but the choice is yours? [10:05] no i haven't [10:05] i never before tried setting up smb client [10:05] this is all new to me [10:06] hi [10:06] ho [10:06] Anticom: anyway, this is the canonical(!) guide: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently [10:06] I just spun a droplet on digitalocean. I want to install php-fpm but no luck [10:06] (canonical as in accurate, not as in endorsed by canonical) [10:07] your mount command needs a directory to 'mount' to; use `sudo mkdir /somewhere` and use that... (or a more appropriate place; but I'd suggest not in the $USER or /home/* folder to avoid issues...) [10:07] oh, is it php-cgi? [10:08] guiverc: is it safe to mount cifs permanently? I just want to make sure this isn't causing any trouble when i'm not in this network [10:09] Anticom, i used to long ago, now only use cifs/samba for backups; so script mounts them (but I used to mount via /etc/fstab (file system table) on boot) [10:14] Hello. I'm using Ubuntu 16.04, I used to have 4 power choices in cpufreq on Ubuntu 12.04, now I have only two. I think the cause is a change in power management software. The question is: how do I use the old power management on 16.04? [10:15] Ubuntivity: the hibernation and suspend are gone? [10:15] Anticom my command used in script is `mount //10.10.99.99/NAS /mountpt -o username=blah,password=blah,sec=ntlm,charset=utf8,vers=1.0,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777` with vers=1.0 not needed before 17.10, and I can't recall if 16.04 needed or was just better for my use-case with dir_mode=..,file_mode.. (12.04 & 14.04 didn't need sec=ntlm either looking now - play until it works for you..) [10:15] oh nevermind === dakar is now known as tester [10:17] guiverc: okay cheers [10:17] currently i'm getting no dialect specified on mount [10:17] EriC^^: I could re-activate the hibernation, but it is buggy and works about 50% of times [10:17] i suppose that's what vers= is refering to guiverc [10:18] EriC^^: The main thing I need this for is the previous "PowerSave" option. The current PowerSave works like the previous "OnDemand" [10:18] Anticom, i think it relates to the directory you need to provide (/mountpt in my example) which it 'mounts' to... ie. run `sudo mkdir /mountpt` before you attempt mount command [10:19] Anticom, i didn't need to add vers= before 17.10; but I don't have w10 machines & know it was needed because of changes related to w10.malware .... [10:21] Anticom, (fyi: wannacry was the reason vers=1.0 became required...) [10:21] this is nuts [10:27] hi guys - i'm having some trouble with dd utility - I'm trying to dd to an sd card mounted at /dev/sdd with numerous partitions, and a lot of the time, the dd command is just producing a file in /dev called, for example, sdd13, instead of writing to the partition. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong and I've never seen this issue before [10:28] sjw: what's the command you're running? [10:29] EriC^^: dd if=image.bin of=/dev/sdd13 bs=1024 count=1536000 [10:29] EriC^^: as root [10:29] via sudo [10:30] sjw: can you pastebin 'sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdd' ? [10:31] 20 [10:31] wrong channel, sorry [10:32] EriC^^: https://pastebin.com/5BJF8aw9 [10:33] sjw: for starters, how big is image.bin? when "if" is a file, you don't need "count". and by the above command it seems you're sending 1.5GB to a 256MB partition. [10:33] sjw: what blackflow said [10:34] hy === ubuntu is now known as Guest57922 [10:35] how are you [10:35] sjw: second, is anything actuall "mounted"? you used that word, but that's not what it means. please pastebin `mount | grep /sdd` [10:36] image.bin is 15MB, it's not an ubuntu image. Is this the channel for discussing help with using ubuntu, or installing it? And no, sorry, it's not mounted [10:39] sjw: well, bs=1024 (1 kB). count = 1.536.000 of bs (1kB) blocks. [10:40] sjw: so now the part I don't understand is what do you mean by "producing a file in /dev called sdd13"? Well yeah, when you instert a stick with all those partitions, those would appear as devices under /dev. [10:40] *insert [10:40] blackflow: I mean when i insert the disk, the partitions show up as block devices# [10:41] which is kinda expected, no? [10:41]
