| jair | hi there I am running ubuntu kernel 4.15.0-22-generic but I am having issues with machine hanging for restart, no rebooting etc... | 01:33 |
| jair | is there a way I can change the kernel safely or downgrade to kernel 4.9 which was really stable | 01:33 |

| jair | Hey guys 1st, Ubuntu 18.04 just sucks! sorry to say I am going back to debian | 01:38 |
| jair | I did not do an upgrade from 16.04 this was a fresh install for 18.04 | 01:39 |
| jair | and I am really dissapointed | 01:39 |
| jair | I just wanted to provide a feedback doing this type of realeases in a hurry frustrate everyone and make people waste their time when installing fucking buggy code | 01:40 |

| baba___ | hello.... is it typical for frequent writes to disk from the kworker process? can they be reduced? | 01:41 |
| pragmaticenigma | baba___: Do you know what the kworker process is for? | 01:42 |
| pragmaticenigma | baba___: I should rephrase... do you know what a kworker process is? | 01:42 |
| baba___ | i tried to correlate it with an underlying cause, but i was not able to get the perf utility to install, oddly...so i tried to generate a backtrace but got nothing from it | 01:43 |
| pragmaticenigma | baba___: kworker processes are related to the kernel... you don't mess with them | 01:44 |
| pragmaticenigma | baba___: If you are concerned about an SSD... You will likely replace the SSD for a larger capacity drive, long before you wear out the current drive with writes | 01:45 |
| baba___ | i know, but i thought maybe something was causing excessively frequent activity, namely writes...or maybe the frequency is normal | 01:45 |
| XenophonF | hey all - I'm trying to install 18.04 on an Inspiron 1501, but I'm stuck at "Started Holds Snappy daemon refresh" | 01:48 |
| XenophonF | is there an install troubleshooting doc on the wiki that I have somehow managed to overlook? | 01:48 |
| XenophonF | I'm probably missing something obvious | 01:48 |
| pragmaticenigma | baba___: kworkers are taking care of system functions at the kernel level. which if they're that low level, it's important... what you might need to do is investigate what applications you are leaving run in the background that might not be needed | 01:49 |
| baba___ | well the great majority of disk accesses is attributed to kworker processes....every other operation on a file is a cached read or similar....so i was wondering if it was excessive...would an access of once every 15 seconds be normal? | 01:55 |
| RoadRunner | can't get video from my camera in skype; sound is fine, audio test call's ok; but the usb connected Logitech QuickCam is seen by Pulse Audio as a microphone and there is no picture | 01:55 |
| deusexmachina | Is there a way to make ubuntu use my intel GPU while still allowing me to use CUDA on my nvidia GPUs? | 01:56 |
| pragmaticenigma | baba___: every 15 seconds... that's nothing to be alarmed about... I thought it was a continuous write going for multiple hours at a span | 01:57 |
| pragmaticenigma | every 15 seconds is probably a cache flush | 01:57 |
| baba___ | i see.......i wish i had gotten perf to work to examine the kworker processes in more detail...i don't know enough about this to interpret likely causes for kworker activity | 02:02 |

| Bashing-om | RobInTaHood193: ' sudo apt autoremove ' will clear out old kernels from /boot ..if the package manager is still in a consistent state . | 03:28 |
| RobInTaHood193 | @bashing-om Thank you for replying. I am sorry but you just spoke another language to me that I do not understand. I am new to Linux. | 03:29 |
| RobInTaHood193 | By running this command is it going to format my boot sector? if it does, how will my bios now where to look for the OS? | 03:30 |
| RobInTaHood193 | *know | 03:31 |
| Bashing-om | RobInTaHood193: No problem .. we were all new at one time . open a terminal and execute ' sudo apt autoremove ' . | 03:31 |

| RobInTaHood193 | Lux_Xandroid. its your settings | 04:10 |
| RobInTaHood193 | I had the same issue when swamping out my monitor and my tv monitor. | 04:11 |
| RobInTaHood193 | you have to know what your monitors frequencies and resolution are. | 04:11 |
| Lux_Xandroid | oh...ok... | 04:11 |
| RobInTaHood193 | So here is what I get... https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/q6k2tNHKfQ/ | 04:13 |
| Lux_Xandroid | So, what what the freq and res on my monitor's menu is identical to what my Display settings are.. | 04:13 |
| Lux_Xandroid | both are the same...nothing changed by me... | 04:14 |
| RobInTaHood193 | Okay so you have to change the setting while still using the old monitor and then your old monitor will stop working then switch to the new. If the settings are right then your new one should work. | 04:15 |
| Lux_Xandroid | yet, if I were to pull my monitor cable from my box...and re-attach...nothing...no image on the monitor at all.. | 04:15 |
| Lux_Xandroid | same monitor... | 04:15 |
| RobInTaHood193 | That's for the other guys. I just know what worked for me. | 04:15 |
| Bashing-om | RobInTaHood193: Not what I asked for . Give me what I am familiar with working with, please . | 04:16 |
| Lux_Xandroid | ok..thanks for the attempt.. | 04:16 |
| Lux_Xandroid | so, I'm working with a stand-alone PC and my Ubuntu box...swapping the monitor to do some work between the two.. | 04:18 |
| Lux_Xandroid | If I pull the monitor cable from the Ubuntu...then put it back on...nothing.. | 04:19 |
| Lux_Xandroid | I just noticed if I turn the monitor off first....no problem.. | 04:19 |
| Lux_Xandroid | odd... | 04:19 |
| RobInTaHood193 | lux_xandroid cool! I have that same issue. I can't wake my monitor up with my mouse, I have to turn the monitor off and back on again. | 04:26 |
| RobInTaHood193 | Thank you you guys, so much for the help! I was able to remove a old kernel and it's image. | 04:26 |
| Bashing-om | RobInTaHood193: There is still " The following packages have unmet dependencies:" to deal with at some point . | 04:28 |
| RobInTaHood193 | Bashing-om , what's that? | 04:30 |
| Bashing-om | RobInTaHood193: Your https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/dMwGSY8h7k/ paste . | 04:31 |
| RobInTaHood193 | What about it? | 04:31 |
| RobInTaHood193 | i just tried to run the -f command and I guess I didn't free up enough space bc it gave me disk is full error. | 04:33 |
| RobInTaHood193 | I have plenty of disk space, this must be the /boot again. | 04:33 |
| RobInTaHood193 | I only removed one kernel. | 04:33 |
| Bashing-om | RobInTaHood193: You will find out, that if the package manager is not happy - no one is happy. | 04:34 |

| Bashing-om | RobInTaHood193: so now you know you have to be selective as to the kernels that are purged. and you *MUST* Not mess with the booting kernel . what shows ' uname -r ' ? | 04:43 |
| RobInTaHood193 | Bashing-om the dependencies that you speak of was the next updated that was never done bc I ran out of space in the /boot folder. | 04:44 |
| RobInTaHood193 | BGashing-om I just need to do some more hacking to resolve issue. | 04:44 |
| Bashing-om | RobInTaHood193: "No apport report written because the error message indicates a disk full error" and the pacjage manager advises where the issue is . run 'uname -r' - that kernel can not be messed around with . | 04:46 |
| RobInTaHood193 | Bashing-om,I read that part. I will not touch "$ uname -r | 04:47 |

| MarkB2 | Anyone using Glade for gtk UI development? Where did all the widgets in the Glade UI go? | 05:52 |
| lotuspsychje | MarkB2: wich version are you trying, and wich version did have the widgets working? | 05:57 |
| MarkB2 | lotuspsychje: I did an apt-get install glade .. which loaded up 3.22.1 . Starting Glade gives that big full-screen "welcome" display. Starting a new project.. and no widgets are displayed at left. | 05:58 |
| MarkB2 | The widgets are available via a pull-down at center.. but this is a whopper of a UI change... and I thought I might have screwed something up. | 05:59 |
| MarkB2 | Plus there are a mess of complaints from Glade on start-up. | 05:59 |
| lotuspsychje | MarkB2: perhaps start glade from terminal, see what kind of errors you get? | 06:02 |
| MarkB2 | That's where I have been starting it from. | 06:02 |
| lotuspsychje | oh right | 06:02 |
| MarkB2 | Apologies if that wasn't clear. Should I post up a screenshot? | 06:03 |
| lotuspsychje | MarkB2: no, perhaps the output of your terminal starting glade in a hastebin? | 06:03 |
| MarkB2 | Yep, that could work. One moment. | 06:04 |
| lotuspsychje | MarkB2: never used glade myself, but if on your 18.04 glade doesnt work properly i would suggest a new !bug for it | 06:04 |

| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1303176 in glade (Ubuntu) "glade crashes on top level widget creation" [Undecided,New] | 06:11 |
| MarkB2 | Just for the grins and giggles, I just pulled sources from github and tried a compile. | 06:12 |
| MarkB2 | Boatload of errors. | 06:12 |
| lotuspsychje | MarkB2: we advise to stick to the glade version for your ubuntu version | 06:12 |
| lotuspsychje | MarkB2: what i would try, is to add myself affected to one of those bugs | 06:13 |
| MarkB2 | And glade 3.22.1 is what's in the repository ... | 06:13 |
| lotuspsychje | !latest | MarkB2 yes | 06:13 |
| ubottu | MarkB2 yes: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 06:13 |
| lotuspsychje | MarkB2: you sure you dont need addons or extra packages for it to work right? | 06:14 |
| MarkB2 | Well, 1758256 was marked as "invalid" as the author had a "buggy glade file". An empty string as required library.. | 06:14 |
| MarkB2 | Nope, not that I'm aware of. | 06:15 |
| lotuspsychje | MarkB2: ok good | 06:15 |
| lotuspsychje | MarkB2: affect yourself to the bug most relevant, or create a new one | 06:15 |
| MarkB2 | I had set up a very very basic glade-based thing, sort of like "hello world" for glade.. and switching to 18.04 I wanted to make sure it still ran. | 06:16 |
| MarkB2 | That is, the entire tool-chain to that point still ran. | 06:16 |
| === qwertyas is now known as Dbugger | ||
| lotuspsychje | MarkB2: perhaps create a new bug, from terminal ubuntu-bug glade | 06:17 |
| MarkB2 | ubuntu-bug requires apport .. and that one crashes early on during boot. | 06:19 |
| lotuspsychje | MarkB2: you can add a bug straight from launchpad too if you like | 06:20 |
| MarkB2 | "gladeui/Makefile.am:267: error: HAVE_INTROSPECTION does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL . | 06:20 |
| lotuspsychje | MarkB2: ah found another idea, seems theres like a glade snap | 06:21 |
| lotuspsychje | MarkB2: sudo snap find glade from terminal | 06:21 |

| OERIAS | https://ibb.co/bZhEXo | 06:23 |
| lotuspsychje | OERIAS: snaps are secured default, perhaps it doesnt like profile stuff to change? | 06:24 |
| lotuspsychje | OERIAS: i presume you using chromium snap? | 06:25 |
| MarkB2 | Now, I know glade for ubuntu 17.10 worked fine. | 06:33 |
| lotuspsychje | MarkB2: hence, why i would create a bug :p | 06:33 |
| MarkB2 | Unfortunately, I can't compile 3.22.1 because there are dependencies living in the autogen.sh file .. something about introspection... and that's a dud. | 06:34 |
| lotuspsychje | MarkB2: as said before, we dont suggest compiling yourself, we have it on repo,snap,.. | 06:34 |
| MarkB2 | You want a Real Man's Linux? Slackware. :-) | 06:41 |
| lotuspsychje | MarkB2: this is ubuntu support, so we advise ubuntu | 06:45 |
| stvn | yeah buy ubuntu i'll sell it real cheap mate | 06:46 |
| MarkB2 | I just found a list of instructions on how to build this silly thing. <groan> I think the maintainers/developers aren't quite sure what a pointer really is. | 06:46 |
| MarkB2 | lotuspsychje: I did the compile. Despite warnings galore, it linked up and there is a nice shiny glade . | 06:50 |
| MarkB2 | And i don't believe it. | 06:50 |
| MarkB2 | I suppose I'm behind the times a little... it was kind of nice seeing all those pretty icons and being able to left-click on one and place it onto a GUI. | 06:52 |
| lotuspsychje | MarkB2: im glad for you, but now the community aint helped on your version | 06:52 |

| skishore86 | lotuspsychje, I did not do that.. i held power button for 5 secs.. to shutdown | 06:58 |
| skishore86 | lotuspsychje, So you mean to say each time i want to shut down do i need to do that command (sudo halt -p) | 06:59 |
| lotuspsychje | skishore86: when your system is trying to shutdown, can you press F1 to see text shutdown? | 06:59 |
| lotuspsychje | skishore86: see at wich line it freezes on you? | 06:59 |
| skishore86 | lotuspsychje, But i figured out one reason.. if my laptop is charging then only this is happening.. | 07:00 |
| skishore86 | lotuspsychje, if i unplug charger from my laptop its shutting down properly | 07:01 |

| guiverc | DynV, did you install the snap or deb version of Totem? | 08:11 |
| DynV | guiverc: no, would that help? | 08:14 |
| guiverc | DynV, i've noted people here ebfore with issues with h265 & aac with snap version, but seem to have no issues with deb version... I don't use totem & have limited knowledge of video, but it was a though | 08:16 |
| guiverc | t | 08:16 |
| DynV | I use the Totem that came in the (Ubuntu) ISO I'm live running. | 08:17 |
| guiverc | DynV, also you may not have installed either; my 18.04 box has it installed by default (deb version) & is okay | 08:17 |

| EriC^^ | ben72: it maybe do unexpected stuff though, wouldn't recommend the reinstall option, it deleted my windows once | 12:39 |
| limbero_ | so I found this guide http://atterer.org/linux-remove-disable-luks-encryption-password-on-disk-partition-crypttab-initrd to automatically decrypt | 12:39 |
| limbero_ | there's no sensitive data on the boot disk anyhow | 12:39 |
| EriC^^ | ben72: i think it was a known bug, not sure if it was fixed | 12:39 |
| ben72 | ok thanks I don't have Windows anyway so maybe it would work then | 12:40 |
| EriC^^ | ben72: good to have a backup as always ;) | 12:40 |
| ben72 | yes do you have a good backup solution for your desktop? | 12:41 |
| EriC^^ | ben72: i use a script that backs up my /home to an ext hdd | 12:41 |

| bugzie3 | limbero_: And does what have can boot from a USB Disk | 12:42 |
| bugzie3 | what you* | 12:42 |
| limbero_ | it can boot from USB, but is currently booting from an NVME SSD | 12:43 |
| EriC^^ | ben72: you could piece something together yourself, look into the rsync command to exclude certain dirs like ~/.cache and stuff | 12:43 |
| bugzie3 | limbero_: Load Ubuntu unto USB Disk, boot from that, and then you can start repair | 12:43 |
| EriC^^ | they take forever to backup and aren't that needed | 12:43 |
| limbero_ | bugzie3 the ubuntu partition is not corrupted | 12:44 |
| limbero_ | it doesn't need repair | 12:44 |
| bugzie3 | limbero_: Ignore my sugestion then, when I have reason to suggest it | 12:45 |
| bugzie3 | If you not take my suggestion, why bother | 12:45 |
| limbero_ | sure I'll do it but you seemed to be prodding at another problem | 12:45 |
| lisachua | is the major point release for ubuntu 18.04 and gui prompts for upgrading from 16.04 to 18.04 still scheduled for june 26? | 12:47 |
| bugzie3 | Please re-elobarate me | 12:47 |
| limbero_ | bugzie3 what I'm saying is I think I can boot the same recovery thing from disk already? | 12:47 |
| bugzie3 | From cold boot | 12:47 |
| ben72 | but I guess the ubuntu installer won't see the files as my disk is encrypted.. | 12:47 |
| bugzie3 | Screen flashes, you have Grub 2.02, you hit enter | 12:47 |
| bugzie3 | What happen next? | 12:47 |
| limbero_ | Ubuntu logo + dots animating to show loading | 12:48 |
| limbero_ | then the messages I previously mentioned | 12:48 |
| bugzie3 | Afterwards | 12:48 |
| bugzie3 | Duh | 12:48 |
| limbero_ | nothing, I'm dumped into the initramfs shell | 12:48 |
| bugzie3 | Duh | 12:48 |
| bugzie3 | Do you have a USB disk | 12:48 |
| limbero_ | somewhere almost certainly yes, what size does it need to be to fit some ubuntu recovery? | 12:49 |
| bugzie3 | Too explain, you can't boot into the system, the easist way, instead of trying to fixing from initramfs | 12:49 |
| bugzie3 | Is to have USB disk with Linux installed, then chroot | 12:50 |
| bugzie3 | Repair | 12:50 |
| bugzie3 | But why bother, you think I don't know | 12:50 |
| bugzie3 | What's so frustrating people like you, people actually need help, then I get mad, and I ignore | 12:51 |
| limbero_ | I'm not mad, I'm looking for USB disks | 12:51 |
| limbero_ | I asked how large it needs to be | 12:51 |
| limbero_ | so I don't waste your time, because I'm actually very thankful for your help | 12:52 |
| bugzie3 | I am stepping out | 12:53 |

| dreamcat4 | hi there. i'm experiencing an issue on 18.04 whereby pulse audio causes the audio output be opened / closed / re-initialized completely every time i start playback from a media source | 13:07 |
| dreamcat4 | so there is each time a loud bang / clicking sound (like the speakers would make if you rebooted the PC) | 13:08 |
| dreamcat4 | my output is a usb audio interface | 13:08 |
| dreamcat4 | anyone experience a similar issue? this has proven difficult to find an answer for | 13:08 |

| dreamcat4 | my usb audio interface is a behringer umc404hd | 13:09 |
| deem | dorfen: i would say it comes with python(3)-setuptools, but that seems to be not true for bionic. apt-file states, that it is indeed part of these packages, but was not found after installing those packages. packages.ubuntu.com also says, that there is no such binary easy_install. My suggestion would be to use pip, but i can't tell anything about why it's no longer contained in any of these packages | 13:18 |

| nanaki | setting up a shell script to check a email account then execute a command it finds there that is hard coded | 13:37 |

| kupi | leftyfb: I don't see any -O flag there | 13:39 |
| kupi | so ubuntu is not using -O? | 13:39 |
| leftyfb | kupi: sorry, I don't know enough about this to give that answer. I only know enough to look up documentation. | 13:40 |
| leftyfb | kupi: you might try #ubuntu-devel | 13:41 |
| adrian_1908 | kupi: ubuntu uses -O2 for most packages I'm pretty sure. | 13:41 |

| leftyfb | pankaj: you might also try #ubuntu-devel or #ubuntu-kernel | 17:34 |

| pankaj | leftyfb: Ah!! You know that there are lot of stuff on google and different also. I search and get the resources but it happens that either it is for advance level or a very basic ( that I already know). What about editing or having features of my own that I want to use while compiling the kernel and manything more. | 17:40 |
| pankaj | leftyfb: If that is not the case then compiling custom kernel is like copying and pasting and nothing to learn about my system. | 17:40 |
| pankaj | leftyfb: Like atleast I can edit or enable some features in .config file according to myself that I want (I know that it is too big to grasp) but if I could understand the sections and configure upto some extent it would be better. | 17:41 |

| ntd | nacc, http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/l/linux/ | 18:11 |
| ntd | why is -23.25 hidden/not listed? | 18:11 |
| nacc | ntd: why are you pasting that link agai? just scroll to the bottom. | 18:11 |
| nacc | ntd: it's very clearly there. linux_4.15.0-23.25, which is the directory I *just* linked to. | 18:11 |
| ntd | my bad. need coffee | 18:12 |
| ntd | -23.25 seems quite useful though | 18:12 |
| nacc | to get the changelog locally, i was able to do `apt changelog linux-headers-4.15.0-23-generic` | 18:12 |
| ntd | confirmed, changelog for the image package is somewhat more "vague" though | 18:13 |
| varshitbhat | Is there any bios hex editor for Ubuntu | 18:13 |
| nacc | ntd: --^ you just have to find the right binary package that comes from src:linux (linux-{image,}generic e.g. comes from linux-meta, linux-image-4.15.0-23-generic here comes from linux-signed) | 18:14 |
| ntd | now, if the could only patch xenial vlc and imagetragic | 18:15 |
| ntd | debian elected to just update stable from vlc2 to vlc3 | 18:15 |
| varshitbhat | My bios is insydeh20 and there is no amdv option and is disabled.but my laptop supports amdv.help | 18:15 |
| nacc | ntd: you may want #ubuntu-hardened | 18:16 |
| ntd | vlc is universe, i know. but imagetragic is bundled with -desktop | 18:16 |
| varshitbhat | Is there any version of Anbox for Ubuntu 18.4 | 18:16 |
| peter_ | @search jose blindness | 18:17 |
| ntd | nacc, yeah, cause expecting the de-facto media player for 99% of users not be to be vuln is tinfoil territory? | 18:17 |
| lotuspsychje | varshitbhat: there's a anbox-installer snap | 18:17 |
| varshitbhat | But Anbox is not installing | 18:18 |

| ntd | just to mention a few.... | 18:22 |
| nacc | varshitbhat: you're not listening to what lotuspsychje is saying. They are asking you to try the snap, not the deb. | 18:22 |
| nacc | ntd: i mean, they are all (so far) in the CVE tracker, at least. There's only so much time and prioritization happens. Like I said, though, not a support topic, per se. I'd poke in #ubuntu-hardened if you're particularly concerned. | 18:24 |
| ntd | isn't imagetragic used for -desktop thumbnailing? | 18:25 |
| ntd | so infected img+browse=pwned | 18:25 |
| ntd | but let's worry about that in say.... 18 months? | 18:26 |
| nacc | ntd: i don't know, that's a question for #ubuntu-hardened, as well. | 18:26 |
| lotuspsychje | ntd: you can join the channel with /j #ubuntu-hardened if you like | 18:28 |
| nacc | ntd: also, i'm not sure imagemagick is used by anything by default, it's not installed by default according to the seeds | 18:28 |
| gambl0re | hi theres no audio in my xubuntu. i checked all the sounds making sure nothing is mute | 18:34 |
| lotuspsychje | !sound | gambl0re start here | 18:35 |
| ubottu | gambl0re start here: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 18:35 |

| nacc | oerheks_: ah i see! :) thanks for clarifying | 18:36 |
| oerheks_ | first you checked, now you ask where to check, gambl0re ? | 18:38 |
| oerheks_ | :-D | 18:38 |
| gambl0re | oerheks_, what are you even talking about? | 18:39 |
| lotuspsychje | gambl0re: it means, you just said you checked sound, then ask where to find sound? | 18:40 |
| gambl0re | i asked where to find volume applet | 18:40 |
| lotuspsychje | gambl0re: so you didnt check sound? | 18:41 |
| gambl0re | i checked that already | 18:41 |
| oerheks_ | rboot, brb | 18:41 |
| nacc | gambl0re: what did you check when you say you 'checked sound' if not the volume applet? | 18:43 |
| nacc | gambl0re: i think that's the confusin | 18:43 |
| Curlyears | hello. WELL. I d/l'ed what wqas supposed to be a "fix" so my brasero would write BlueRay discs. The instruction said, after dling the PPA, to apt-get install tw0o things: cdrecord, and mkisos. No problem, except every time I try to install mkisos, I get an error from apt-get, sayihng ti cannot find mkisos. ?????? | 18:43 |

| Curlyears | damn, the path there is to use mkusb-nox. But the point of this exercise *IS* to back up my files. mkusb-nox explicitly warns the user to make a backup, priot to running mkusb-nox. DAMN | 18:58 |
| Curlyears | leftyfb: yeah, sorry. You message appeared just after ine addressed to me, and I misread them as beng onme message., Agaqin, sorry | 19:00 |

| slingamn | i'm on bionic, and i was using openjdk-11-jre | 19:01 |

| Curlyears | leftyb: naw, diabetic neuropathy of the hands. Sorry for the crummy typing. | 19:02 |
| nacc | slingamn: jdk vs. jre | 19:02 |
| Curlyears | bionic is what I am trying to get installed here | 19:03 |
| slingamn | makes sense...is there a way to make java 10 the default for everything unless JAVA_HOME is set? | 19:03 |
| Curlyears | oerhek: any thoughts? | 19:04 |
| nacc | slingamn: i think if intstall the 10 jdk package, and then run `sudo update-alternatives --config javac` (and for java, etc) | 19:06 |
| nacc | slingamn: you would get close | 19:06 |

| IntelCore | Not every time, mind you. | 19:07 |
| leftyfb | IntelCore: you know the answer to this. You resolved it last time | 19:08 |
| IntelCore | leftyfb, yea.. two shut-downs. and it still happened next boot after that | 19:08 |
| leftyfb | IntelCore: you said it fixed it last time | 19:09 |
| Curlyears | anyone: assistance with getting a BlueRay writable to write iso's, and assistance creating a boot USBw/unbuntu18.04 installer on it. | 19:09 |
| IntelCore | leftyfb - that boot it did.. next, happened again.. and I used the default ubuntu DE and ubuntu booted ok the next time. | 19:10 |
| Curlyears | the websites I was pointed to earlier are not explicit about how I sp[ecifiy the usb drive. | 19:10 |
| oerheks | writing an iso to blueray ?? | 19:11 |
| IntelCore | * I tried to vire a blueray in my dvd | 19:11 |
| IntelCore | view | 19:12 |
| Curlyears | oerheks: two separate problems. 1) back up myu data on a Blueray disc, 2) create a bootable USB thumb | 19:12 |
| Curlyears | IntelCore: you have to have a BlueRay commpatible drive to use BlueRay discs | 19:12 |
| IntelCore | Curlyears.. yea.. that why it did not play with vlc | 19:13 |
| leftyfb | Curlyears: My opinion, don't waste your time using optical media for backups. It's got a shorter shelf-life and WAY less space and manageability | 19:13 |
| Curlyears | I have a writable Bl;ueRay drive. | 19:13 |
| gambl0re | ive got audio on left side only. how do i balance it | 19:13 |
| oerheks | writing data to blueray is no problem, AFAIK, just playing movies can be a trouble finding keys | 19:13 |

| leftyfb | sruli: that will restart networking/renew lease | 19:19 |
| nacc | slingamn: ah yes, i forgot about that command | 19:19 |
| sruli | leftyfb: also on fresh install (different server) networking.service does not exists | 19:19 |
| nacc | ppf: you can try and resolve it for apt | 19:20 |
| ppf | is there some sort of verbose mode in apt? | 19:20 |
| nacc | ppf: `sudo apt install cuda cuda-9-2` | 19:20 |
| Curlyears | :( | 19:20 |
| ppf | nacc: yes i can walk the chain, but that's tedious | 19:20 |
| nacc | ppf: you can keep drilling down until you get the root dependency failure | 19:20 |
| nacc | ppf: that's the way the world works. | 19:20 |
| retiform | does anyone know what bootloader ubuntu uses for uefi? | 19:21 |
| ppf | nacc: that's disappointing! | 19:21 |
| nacc | retiform: grub. | 19:21 |

| nacc | ppf: i mean, sort of. you're doing something wonky (or the ppa is) | 19:23 |
| IntelCore | leftyb - so I looked at all this, Unit, systemd.. | 19:24 |
| ppf | nacc: well, yes, but that wasn't what the question is about :) it's about apt's reporting | 19:24 |
| gambl0re | ive got audio on the left side only. how do i adjust the left/right sound balance? | 19:24 |
| IntelCore | nacc dont let him break his efiboot. | 19:27 |
| nacc | ppf: you really don't want apt to try to be any smarter here, complexity in the package manager is not a good thing | 19:27 |
| nacc | ppf: and it's *already* really complex | 19:28 |
| ppf | nacc: but would that really add complexity? it has to prove unsatisfiability, why not print the counterexample? | 19:28 |
| nacc | ppf: it did print the counterexample | 19:28 |
| ppf | the first line of it maybe | 19:29 |
| nacc | ppf: based upon exactly what you told it to, it cannot install cuda because cuda needs cuda-9-2 and cuda-9-2 is not isntallable. | 19:29 |
| nacc | ppf: you really want to wait the several minutes it might take for apt to recurse through a deep and wide tree? no, you don't. | 19:29 |
| nacc | ppf: in any case, you probably want #apt or something, if you really want that to change | 19:30 |
| ppf | of course not, but how does it not have this information | 19:30 |
| ppf | i mean, it needs to prove that cuda-9-2 is not installable | 19:30 |
| nacc | ppf: because it doesn't recurse | 19:30 |
| nacc | ppf: it tries to satisfy cuda's dependencies, by checking they are all installable | 19:30 |
| nacc | ppf: the *only* think you've told apt to install is cuda | 19:30 |
| ppf | how does it no when they're installable | 19:30 |
| IntelCore | leftyfb ? -- I think cas I ran upstart, tha whole thang is in dev modes now? | 19:30 |
| ppf | or when they aren;t | 19:31 |
| nacc | ppf: that i'm not sure about; presumably by looking at their dependencies; also there can be many reasons someting is not installable | 19:31 |
| nacc | ppf: it might do a behind the scenes dry-run install of just that package | 19:31 |
| IntelCore | systmd_ is difficult for me | 19:32 |
| nacc | ppf: honestly, it might also use a solver, im not sure; i bet you can google around online | 19:33 |

| IntelCore | leftyfb : "quote" across hibernate kernel rescans USB and creates new device path, but mount point remains associated with device that no more exists. | 19:43 |

| IntelCore | tried lan ? | 20:20 |
| shazbotmcnasty | What do you mean? | 20:20 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Guest64022 | ||
| IntelCore | ftp server..one side.. you connect to it with, a client | 20:21 |
| shazbotmcnasty | ...yeah.. | 20:21 |
| IntelCore | And you can't like do more than DL files | 20:22 |
| shazbotmcnasty | You can upload with ftp | 20:22 |
| IntelCore | yea from the client side | 20:22 |
| Guest64022 | I just got an upgrade on windows for vlc, 3.0.3 which has hardware acceleration, but on ubuntu the latest version seems to be just 2.2.2. is this the latest on ubuntu/linux? | 20:22 |
| shazbotmcnasty | yeah, that's what the point is. I'm backing up a server on the wan to this FTP server that's connected to my nas | 20:23 |
| IntelCore | vlc 18.04 version soon | 20:23 |
| nacc | !info vlc | Guest64022 | 20:23 |
| ubottu | Guest64022: vlc (source: vlc): multimedia player and streamer. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.0.2-0ubuntu0.1 (bionic), package size 31 kB, installed size 153 kB | 20:23 |
| nacc | Guest64022: you didn't say which version of ubuntu | 20:23 |
| shazbotmcnasty | like my ftp server has a nas mounted as a drive, and I want to set FTP up so this server on the wan can authenticate as a client and upload the backups | 20:23 |
| leftyfb | shazbotmcnasty: I would use rsync over ssh | 20:23 |
| nacc | Guest64022: the snap is also at 3.0.3 | 20:24 |
| shazbotmcnasty | leftyfb: I'd be ok with that. I was just trying FTP because that's what is built into the GUI of this wan-side plesk server | 20:24 |
| shazbotmcnasty | leftyfb: but if you've got some info on how to set up backups from one server to another over the wan with rsync over ssh i'm in | 20:25 |
| IntelCore | cloud | 20:25 |
| leftyfb | shazbotmcnasty: just lookup "ubuntu rsync" or "ubuntu rsync over ssh" | 20:25 |
| Guest64022 | nacc, so the updates depend on the distro... what if one keeps and old version? there could be a way to install the latest vlc version? | 20:26 |
| shazbotmcnasty | I wanted to use FTP because i won't be the person doing this forever and the new people don't know how to use linux and want everything GUI - so the plesk server has ftp settings in the backup scheduler - which is why I would like to use FTP https://www.screenshottr.us/v/3609503535cf9864a105b9f07c8ab78f/d5cac05a3dd2ecb4a5a5df9d5b1c458e.png | 20:27 |
| nacc | Guest64022: ... well, yes, you get your updates from your distribution. | 20:27 |
| nacc | Guest64022: I don't know understand your questions | 20:27 |
| Guest64022 | pepple with old machines often have older distros | 20:27 |
| IntelCore | When i type: systemctl list-unit-files, and I see 'masked' and disabled.. what to do? | 20:27 |
| Guest64022 | I mean, that perhaps the latest vlc update doesnt work with older versions of ubuntu | 20:28 |
| IntelCore | I have a machine with win7 and 40gig drive and can't get ubuntu early version for it.. | 20:29 |
| IntelCore | Like 12.04? | 20:30 |
| Guest64022 | have you tried lubuntu? its the lightest ubuntu derivative and uses very low resources | 20:31 |
| nacc | Guest64022: 1) are you asking how a distribution works? 2) use the vlc provided by your distribution 3) if you want a newer vlc, use the snap, or upgrade your distribution. | 20:31 |
| Guest64022 | try the live cd alternate version. it will run smoothly, Im sure | 20:32 |
| Guest64022 | what is "snap"? | 20:33 |
| Guest64022 | thing is, if you upgrade your distro, in the end it will make your old pc slow | 20:34 |
| nacc | Guest64022: i don't know what you're talking aobut. I'm not going to use a live cd right now. | 20:37 |
| nacc | Guest64022: snaps are a new packaging format | 20:37 |
| nacc | Guest64022: an application ships as a squashfs with all of its dependencies included | 20:37 |
| nacc | Guest64022: i've upgraded this particular machine through every release from 15.10 or so without issue. So please do not extrapolate from your single experience to all users. | 20:38 |
| leftyfb | nacc: my god .. you're a madman :) | 20:39 |
| nacc | leftyfb: aka i know how to undo the stupid things i've done on my machines :) | 20:39 |
| Guest64022 | usually that is what happens with newer and newer upgrades, because these require more hardware resources, more cpu power and more ram | 20:41 |
| Guest64022 | and more hard disk space, obviously | 20:42 |
| odroid | OK WHAT IS THIS | 20:42 |
| nacc | Guest64022: again 'usually' is false. | 20:43 |
| nacc | Guest64022: and doesn't seem relevant to your original question about vlc | 20:43 |
| sruli | leftyfb: netplan is seriously not ready for lts release, there is no way to reconnect nic once system is booted, just ested with 4 nics in 802.3ad mode, disconnected 1 by 1 putting the removed 1 back as soon as i removed it, once i remove the 4th one (other 3 are connected) nada you can do without reboot, networkctl status shows routable, however there is no connection | 20:44 |
| skinux | I'm having trouble with xane scanner. It doesn't see any scanners at all, but I have an AIO configured with my system | 20:44 |
| gigirock | skinux, connect as usb or ethernet ? | 20:44 |
| leftyfb | sruli: running dhclient didn't help? | 20:46 |
| IntelCore | leftyfb: okay, I will paste journalctl -xb. brb | 20:47 |
| sruli | leftyfb: dhclient get ip for first nic, ignores netplan and nothing resolves | 20:47 |
| leftyfb | IntelCore: I didn't ask for anything from you | 20:48 |
| sruli | leftyfb: "dhclient bond0" just tries but gets nothing | 20:48 |
| leftyfb | sruli: tried #ubuntu-server? | 20:48 |
| sruli | leftyfb: testing now in round-robin to make sure its not a issue with 802.3ad on the switch | 20:48 |
| sruli | leftyfb: #ubuntu-server usually no response... might try tomorrow | 20:49 |
| leftyfb | sruli: I would eliminate the switch and any link agg stuff you've got going on to simplify things | 20:49 |
| sruli | leftyfb: problem is 802.3ad, dont know if its switch or server side, in round-robin was able to remove all 4 nics and got reconnected | 20:52 |
| sruli | leftyfb: question is how do i figure out if the issue with 802.3ad is switch or server side | 20:52 |
| leftyfb | sruli: eliminate it | 20:53 |
| sruli | leftyfb: not sure what you mean, i have now tested and confirmed the issue is indeed 802.3ad how can i find which side the issue is on? | 20:54 |
| leftyfb | don't know | 20:55 |
| sruli | leftyfb: accepted | 20:55 |
| IntelCore | leftyfb - took a moment to journal. Here: https://pastebin.com/mhz9R8xa | 20:58 |
| leftyfb | IntelCore: I didn't ask for anything from you | 20:58 |

| oerheks | terminal showing emoji .. no arooni, not possible | 21:25 |
| arooni | thats sad; i could think of a lot of fun use cases | 21:26 |
| arooni | oerheks: any reason why it cant be supporteD? its that libcairo thing isnt it | 21:26 |
| oerheks | yes, but it is really unstable, so as you are asking a question and you know the answer already, go have fun with it. | 21:27 |
| McSquirrel | hello, I'm looking for assistance in regards to secure boot, I don't see a vmlinuz*-generic.efi.signed, was this removed with 18.04? | 21:28 |
| McSquirrel | I appended data to the end of the vmlinuz*-generic and it still booted 😪 | 21:29 |
| IntelCore | uefi? | 21:31 |
| McSquirrel | yep with secure boot enabled | 21:31 |
| IntelCore | i got that too | 21:31 |
| McSquirrel | so what's the solution, I think canonical signed the linux kernel | 21:32 |
| IntelCore | back in 12.04, it showed all different boot kernels, now I get two recent generic ones in 16.04 | 21:32 |
| McSquirrel | but they're not signed anymore? | 21:32 |
| IntelCore | oh, and upstart is on my grub menu now | 21:32 |
| IntelCore | Caniocal has a sig on your drive | 21:33 |
| McSquirrel | where? | 21:33 |
| IntelCore | lol. yeah. and UUID's | 21:33 |
| McSquirrel | and also shouldnt it fail if you append gibberish to the end of the vmlinuz? | 21:34 |
| IntelCore | idk , mcsquirrel.. image/ iso's can boot on if u click them | 21:35 |
| IntelCore | like put 18.040n a hard drive and click it | 21:36 |

| nacc | diverdude: also that adds about to about 7825MB | 22:09 |
| nacc | diverdude: since your HD is not actually 8G (it's 7.7G) | 22:10 |
| nacc | diverdude: that's all your disk. | 22:10 |

| pressure679 | Have anyone succeded in finding a program which can get a certain number of characters from an offset from a file? I found the sed and awk (answers from askubuntu) are quite slow on a HDD. - In any case: I made a source file using Go version 1.10.1, amd64, compiled with Ubuntu 18.04 was faster, > 1 sec on a file several GB's large. Here is the link: https://code.launchpad.net/~pressure679/+junk/ofo , | 22:29 |
| pressure679 | I am unsure how to notify Canonical or any Linux/GNU distributor, so I write here. | 22:29 |

| nacc | pressure679: that's nice. maybe just put it on github? | 22:33 |
| nacc | pressure679: are you asking for it be included in ubuntu or something? this is 100% the wrong way to do that :) | 22:33 |
| nacc | pressure679: you would of course use an actual programming language to do what you suggest, I imagine C would be about as fast. It's not general purpose enough to really be that relevant, afaict. | 22:34 |
| nacc | pressure679: you also didn't say "I want to get a certain number of characters from an offset from a file *as quickly as possible*". Based upon your first sentence, any of those tools you found that already exist do what you want. If you care about speed, writing your own for your specific use case may be sufficient. But again, not an Ubuntu support topic. | 22:36 |
| pressure679 | nacc: sorry, I just wanted to contribute, anyhow: two pointed out tail and head (I was not aware they supported byte count) could do this. | 22:39 |

Can anyone help? | 22:55 |
| seru | I forgot to add that I'm using Kubuntu 17.10 but I doubt the version of my hardware and software would help diagnose the problem. I just need to know what to do next. | 22:56 |
| TimeDoctor | seru: you may need to boot into single user mode and reset your passwords, this might help (ignore why the person asking needs single-user mode): https://askubuntu.com/questions/132965/how-do-i-boot-into-single-user-mode-from-grub | 22:57 |
| seru | @TimeDoctor Thank you for your help. I still don't understand why the pass randomly changed. it seems very fishy | 22:58 |
| TimeDoctor | seru: are you sure the keyboard isn't failing? | 22:59 |
| TimeDoctor | could be why the keys you're inputting aren't working | 22:59 |

| Johnjay | i went to ubuntu.com and i don't see Ask! anywhere | 23:34 |
| IntelCore | Johnjay - you know about where you go software update. that apt setting panel have a device driver lookup | 23:34 |
| Johnjay | i'm not sure. i clicked on settings and then Programs or something | 23:35 |
| Johnjay | is that the window you mean? | 23:35 |
| Johnjay | it was ubuntu 16.0 | 23:35 |

| Johnjay | Additional drivers, ok i'll go check | 23:37 |
| Johnjay | the driver i know already it's 8812au | 23:37 |
| Johnjay | the problem is i don't think it supports my device, even though i found a forum post from 2 years ago that says it does | 23:37 |
| IntelCore | Some drivers may be from the host, rather than ubuntu | 23:37 |
| Johnjay | do drivers drop support sometimes for device? | 23:37 |
| Johnjay | i bought the adapter new yesterday | 23:37 |
| IntelCore | oh ye | 23:37 |
| Johnjay | ok lol i was very confused | 23:38 |
| Johnjay | the post talked about see the git repo driver supports your device | 23:38 |
| IntelCore | mm.. like I had a graphics card that needed a certain driver for compiz. | 23:38 |
| Johnjay | and when i ran the same command it wasn't listed as a supported device | 23:38 |
| IntelCore | drivers, I let apt-get tell me if I need | 23:38 |
| Johnjay | i did run apt-update | 23:39 |
| Johnjay | but er update. but idk if that would recognize a driver | 23:39 |

| Johnjay | i had to do lsusb -vv i think to get the full output | 23:42 |
| Johnjay | otherwise it just shows the hubs | 23:43 |
| IntelCore | security, recommended, and backports.. updates.. and you got three places.. also there is a Synaptic Package Manager to check into multiverse, universe.. and tha rest | 23:43 |
