[00:02] <MTecknology> dg_vrani: does your password actually have quotes like that?  I typically only use quotes if they're mismatched so that I can be sure to spot sql injection oopsies in websites.
[00:17] <dg_vrani> MTecknology, yes it had quotes like that.
[00:24] <haiho> hi guys,may i request assistance re bionic installation.. it says disk full,im using live usb installer
[00:25] <haiho> already formated the partition for it.
[00:31] <haiho> gparted is having errors as well,cant initialize the app itself
[00:31] <Bashing-om> haiho: Show us ' sudo parted -l ' in a patebin from that liveUSB .
[00:31] <Bashing-om> pastebin*
[00:32] <haiho> hi bashing.im on xenial live usb.i cant chat on the bionic live usb :(
[00:34] <haiho> from my previous experience installation should ask where i like to install ubuntu and give me options to format it.
[00:34] <Bashing-om> haiho: Without information, we can not help . Does not matter what the USB is in this instance . We need to see what the partitioning is on that hard drive .
[00:34] <haiho> i got passed the donot connect to internet part.then the disk full msg came
[00:39] <haiho> ayt,il just re download another iso.. thanks
[00:40] <Bashing-om> haiho: K - keep in mind. MBR partition has a 4 primary partition limit .
[00:51] <haiho> Bashing-om https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/WVpQYXdrsv/
[00:53] <haiho> i can either install xenial or bionic.. both are not letting me :(
[00:55] <Bashing-om> haiho: :) .. I do not know what to make of parted reporting a system error . Our target here though appears to be sda5 .
[00:56] <haiho> on xenial installer ,its having gparted issues.
[00:56] <Bashing-om> haiho: As this is MBR partitioned, lets also look at the drive from another tool . What shows ' sudo fdisk -lu ' ?
[00:57] <haiho> yes.sda5 is my target
[00:58] <haiho> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/5Y42wGbBMT/
[00:59] <Bashing-om> haiho: I always leave a bit of wiggle room in my partitioning .. 1MB before and after . Might try that and see if it makes a difference in that logical partition (??) .
[01:00] <haiho> hmm.installation work before on that partition
[01:00] <haiho> is it possible to remove and reinstall gparted on a live usb?
[01:00] <Bashing-om> haiho: Yeah. fdisk sees the wiggle room :) . still looking .
[01:05] <Bashing-om> haiho: haiho Well ... anything present now on sda5 ? What shows ' sudo mkdir /mnt/look sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/look ; ls -al /mnt/look/. As I do not see a problem .
[01:05] <haiho> sda5 is empty.got it formatted while inside bionic
[01:07] <Bashing-om> haiho: You assume that it is empty ? As you say gparted is spazzing out might be very good to "look" .
[01:07] <haiho> pls rephrase -- > anything present now on sda5 ?
[01:07] <haiho> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/DJtzjNPJyZ/
[01:08] <haiho> ahh.i need to 2x check it u mean
[01:08] <haiho> its empty.format was success
[01:12] <Bashing-om> haiho: Beats me .. If you point the installer to sda5 as '/' I would expect it to install .
[01:13] <haiho> hmm.how can i point it? :D
[01:15] <Bashing-om> haiho: when you install you select "something else" .. then you must tell the installer to install as / on sda5 .
[01:15] <haiho> does bionic live usb has pre installed chat client?
[01:16] <haiho> you select  -- is this the part before the gui interface loads?
[01:16] <haiho> you select  -- is this the part before the gui interface loads?
[01:17] <Bashing-om> haiho: I do not recall about ubuntu .. on xubintu there is pidgin installed by default . Have had no need to look at what ubuntu installs for a irc client .
[01:17] <Tin_man> No haiho, but you could use you firefox.
[01:18] <Tin_man> your*
[01:18] <haiho> @tin. bionic's ff is on quantum. :(
[01:18] <Tin_man> oh
[01:18] <haiho> doesnot support this chatzilla
[01:19] <haiho> you select  -- is this the part before the ubuntu's gui interface loads?
[01:19] <Bashing-om> !info chatzilla bionic
[01:20] <nacc> haiho: no.
[01:20] <nacc> !who | haiho
[01:21] <nacc> haiho: you select it at the partitioning menu
[01:21] <haiho> Bashing_om: you select  -- is this the part before the ubuntu's gui interface loads?
[01:22] <haiho> @nacc im stuck on the 3rd step of the gui installation.i cannot reach the partioning part.. gparted having errors as well
[01:22] <Bashing-om>  haiho: ^^ start the installation .. and the 1st screen has the install options .. choose "something else" .
[01:22] <haiho> !tab
[01:23] <haiho> ubottu: apologies. and tnx
[01:24] <haiho> Bashing-om: got it
[01:24] <Bashing-om> haiho: :) .. proceed on your merry way .
[01:24] <haiho> x fingers. tnx all :D
[01:36] <Mibix> anyone get Cinnamon to work on 18.04 wont seem to let me login when i select it, i installed with these steps https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-cinnamon-desktop-on-ubuntu-18-04-bionic-beaver-linux
[01:38] <haiho> Bashing-om: hi again.. bionic's black& white welcome screen has the advance option,is that what u are referring to?
[01:40] <Bashing-om> haiho: Not sure of what you are asking .. the "advanced" mode is grub's older kernels, recovery consoles and mem-test .
[01:42] <haiho> Bashing-om: if i got u right, the suggested solution was to install bionic using the menu before the desktop gui loads ?
[01:45] <Bashing-om> haiho: Never said that .. a couple of ways to get to the installer . Maybe for you the path of least resistance is to boot the installer in " try ubuntu " mode and once at the desktop, there choose "install" .. and in the install screen choose " something else" .
[01:45] <haiho> Bashing-om: i see
[01:46] <haiho> clear :D

[03:09] <Dj_FlyBy> how does one fix apt from telling me errors about kernels not installed but it thinks are installed? So it fails with errors on that every time (everything else will still install fine) It also thinks my /boot is full when it isn't
[03:11] <MTecknology> you didn't supply nearly enough info.. a log and a df -h on dpaste.com or similar would be very helpful.
[03:13] <Dj_FlyBy> https://pastebin.com/8b98g5j4
[03:17] <guiverc> Dj_FlyBy, i see 'no space left..' so I'd check you have space; consider `sudo apt autoclean; sudo apt autoremove`  (which create space, but still need space to run) & if you're not running those older kernels; try purge/remove them...
[03:18] <lotuspsychje> !kernelcleanup | Dj_FlyBy suggested by guiverc
[03:18] <MTecknology> pastebin.com, eh?.. and no df -h?
[03:22] <Dj_FlyBy> getting there. I'm a little slow on the keyboard
[03:22] <Dj_FlyBy> https://pastebin.com/KnuFccBR
[03:30] <Dj_FlyBy> As I am sure you can imagine... I cam quite confused...
[03:30] <Dj_FlyBy> am***
[03:31] <MTecknology> Dj_FlyBy: In the future, you could just stick them all in one. If you really wanted, you could provide separate files with gist. You should never *ever* use pastebin.com. It's one of the second worst pastebins ever created (not quite the worst, but close).
[03:31] <MTecknology> I'd look into cleaning up old kernels, as mentioned a couple times, but I doubt that's what's going on. That /should/ be plenty of space.
[03:32] <colin-udo> excuse me.... why I can't update ubuntu16.04.1 to 16.04.4? I tried "sudo apt update; sudo apt dist-upgrade" and tried other source
[03:32] <Dj_FlyBy> but there are no old kernels.
[03:32] <MTecknology> You can be sure by running   while true; do df -m; echo '---'; sleep 0.1s; done &>t   and then kicking off dpkg again. It'd at least tell you if you're really running out of space or if something else screwy is going on.
[03:33] <MTecknology> Your log indicates that you absolutely do have older kernels installed.
[03:33] <RobInTaHood193> I think my drivers crashed while I was watching youtube. I cant hear the video anylonger?
[03:33] <Dj_FlyBy> as can be seen in my pastebins there are no files regarding those kernels. There is also plenty of space on the partition as well.
[03:33] <MTecknology> colin-udo: details you provided... "it doesn't work"  Do you have more?
[03:34] <MTecknology> Dj_FlyBy: you may want to re-read what you provided. It's pretty verbose and clear.
[03:34] <guiverc> colin-udo, you should have got an error message (the reason why update failed), please pastebin it (unless it's a single line) or try `sudo apt install -f` (to attempt --fix-broken)
[03:35] <Dj_FlyBy> yea, I see it is trying to do "something" with "some" kernels which are not on my system... See pastebin.... If they were installed then where are the files that should be in /boot?
[03:35]  * MTecknology blinks
[03:35] <colin-udo> MTecknology: oh.. that's it... I mean I have a udo with ubuntu16.04.1, I want update it to ubuntu 16.04.4, but both "update-manager" and "apt update/dist-update" doesn't work TuT
[03:36] <MTecknology> colin-udo: like guiverc said... "doesn't work" is useless. Either share the details you have in front of you or there's nothing anyone here can do to help.
[03:38] <MTecknology> colin-udo: Did you get an error? If so, what was it? What did you run before the error? What logs do you have?   You literally gave us the equivalent of "my car won't turn on; what's wrong?"
[03:38] <wkalt> what's the best way to run xmodmap on startup in ubuntu 18.04 running gnome?
[03:38] <colin-udo> MTecknology: no error, just not find any updates
[03:39] <RobInTaHood193> Anyone know why my audio stopped working while listen to music on youtube?
[03:39] <guiverc> colin-udo, then please run it from update `sudo apt update` (to update repository lists; it doesn't update anything but lists of softare) - you should get lots of info lines as they update - if you get nothing that is your errors (sources.list* files are bad/wrong..) then...
[03:39] <colin-udo> I tried replace with other mirror address like ... aliyun, ustc
[03:39] <guiverc> colin-udo, run it from terminal (not update)
[03:40] <wkalt> also, does anyone have any tricks for swapping the command and alt keys on an external mac magic keyboard that uses bluetooth (on same setup). hid_apple/swap_opt_cmd seems not to work for the newer mac keyboards
[03:40] <MTecknology> wkalt: do you want it on startup or do you want it on session initialization?
[03:40] <wkalt> session initialization
[03:41] <MTecknology> look through the gnome menus... I remember there being some preferences for "startup" stuff.
[03:41] <MTecknology> session* startup
[03:41] <colin-udo> Yeah, I got a list from sudo apt update , but there is no update notice... em.... anyway, thanks a lot, maybe I need update it to ubuntu18.04
[03:41] <RobInTaHood193> How do you restart your drivers on a linux?
[03:41] <MTecknology> what makes you certain you have uninstalled updates?
[03:42] <MTecknology> RobInTaHood193: rmmod/modprobe
[03:42] <wkalt> I've tried going through the "startup applications" menu item, and also putting it in .xmodmap/.xsession which has worked on debian for me. Ubuntu/gnome seems to be more opinionated about it.
[03:42] <guiverc> colin-udo, after `sudo apt update` you then `sudo apt dist-upgrade`... (to upgrade software from the updated software lists your machine has)
[03:42] <colin-udo> "All packages are up to date", and I tried "sudo dist-upgrade", still no anyupgrade, "uname -a" results still is 16.04.1
[03:43] <MTecknology> colin-udo: is "uname -a" your answer to my question?
[03:43] <colin-udo> And... thank you guiverc, MTecknology, I'll try to update to 18.04
[03:43]  * MTecknology sighs
[03:43] <MTecknology> k- good luck
[03:43] <guiverc> colin-udo, then I'd check your sources.list files being correct  (you could pastebin them - or switch to another source)
[03:44] <MTecknology> guiverc: I suspect that's not the case. He probably already has everything updated.
[03:44] <guiverc> colin-udo, `uname -a` doesn't tell me what i'm running - its kernel info; try `lsb_release -a`
[03:44] <MTecknology> If they bothered to answer my question... I'd know.
[03:45] <guiverc> colin-udo, you'll probably find 16.04.1 is your machine name or something (not ubuntu version)...
[03:45] <MTecknology> uname tells you what you're running, but it's telling you about the kernel, not the distro
[03:45] <guiverc> MTecknology, yep - I just came to that conclusion too!
[03:45] <colin-udo> oh... thx a lot!  in 'lsb_release -a', it is ubuntu 16.04.4 >.<
[03:45] <RobInTaHood193> is there a gui for your drivers in ubuntu?
[03:45] <colin-udo> sorry >.<
[03:46] <MTecknology> colin-udo: it helps when you bother to answer questions that people ask........
[03:46] <guiverc> colin-udo, no probs - thanks for letting us know :)
[03:47] <MTecknology> RobInTaHood193: by "drivers" you mean kernel modules. No, there's not a gui that I'm aware of for loading/unloading kernel modules. It's likely your modlist is very short so this is a good time to learn about the cli.
[03:50] <RobInTaHood193> my sound drivers stopped working and I am trying to rest them?
[03:51] <RobInTaHood193> restarting the machine is time consuming.
[03:52] <MTecknology> do you really believe it's your "sound driver" that stopped working?
[03:52] <RobInTaHood193> Well, what else could it be? I am still able to chat here so my ram is good.
[03:53] <MTecknology> ehm... you think being able to chat on IRC means your RAM is good?
[03:53] <guiverc> RobInTaHood193, I'd suggest looking in pulse audio control (pavucontrol) - I usually find when my sound is 'gone' its muted in the last field - an easy fix is switching 'stereo to off' then 'back to your wanted' - it works for me (when I hit the wrong keys that mute it anyway)
[03:53] <RobInTaHood193> Do you not now how a computer works? everything on your screen and running in the background is on your RAM.
[03:54] <guiverc> / pulse audio volume control in last..
[03:54] <MTecknology> guiverc: Did pulse replace alsa in ubuntu? If so, do you happen to know when that happened?
[03:55] <Jordan_U> RobInTaHood193: It is very common for there to be problems with RAM that only cause small subtle problems, that's why we have comprehensive memory testers and why it's sometimes recommended to run them for hours to be sure that RAM is good, as even when being explicitly tested sometimes RAM problems occur only rarely.
[03:56] <Jordan_U> MTecknology: Pulseaudio doesn't replace ALSA, it runs on top of ALSA.
[03:56] <MTecknology> I don't have alsa at all on my system...
[03:56] <guiverc> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio - its not in all versions; lubuntu doesn't use it i believe.. and i don't know when it became 'standard' (except kernels expect it; as well as some software..)
[03:56] <RobInTaHood193> If your theory is correct Jordan_U, what should I do?
[03:57] <Jordan_U> MTecknology: I doubt that.
[03:57] <MTecknology> RobInTaHood193: He didn't state a theory... just a fact about hardware
[03:57] <Jordan_U> RobInTaHood193: I don't have a theory as to why you're having audio problems.
[03:58] <MTecknology> Jordan_U: Am I missing something if I do "dpkg --get-selections | grep -i alsa" and see nothing?
[03:58] <ajcd1sc1ple> My theory is, you screwed something up...
[03:59] <RobInTaHood193> Well, lots of "scientist" have theories based on no merit.
[03:59] <Jordan_U> MTecknology: Do you hear sound from your computer? What version of Ubuntu are you using? Do you have ubuntu-desktop or any other *-desktop metapackages installed?
[03:59] <MTecknology> RobInTaHood193: Do you want to whine and argue or do you want help?
[04:00] <MTecknology> Jordan_U: The way I understood it, also could feed into pulse, but both pulse and alsa could stand by themselves. I (now only think) I've been running without alsa for a few years now,.
[04:01] <MTecknology> I don't use ubuntu personally, just for work stuff. I'm on Debian 9 with pulseaudio, slim, and openbox
[04:01] <MTecknology> sound seems to work fine and I can't find any trace of alsa
[04:04] <Jordan_U> MTecknology: That's odd. I'm not sure what to make of that. Would you mind joinin #debian (here on freenode, not on oftc) so we can continue this discussion?
[04:05] <MTecknology> the one on thiiiiis network?!! :'(
[04:05] <MTecknology> fiiiiiiin.
[04:12] <Dj_FlyBy> since you don't like pastebin... and also to prove the kernels are not installed -->  http://www.heypasteit.com/clip/0IJOFM
[04:15] <MTecknology> I /did/ mention dpaste.com, but ya, that's much better.   Why don't you give this a try instead?  dpkg --get-selections | grep linux-image
[04:16] <guiverc> !pastebin
[04:17] <Dj_FlyBy> well, that shows a whole different story now....
[04:17] <Dj_FlyBy> http://www.heypasteit.com/clip/0IJOFN
[04:23] <MTecknology> Dj_FlyBy: so- after you fix that, does your problem go away?
[04:24] <Dj_FlyBy> I wouldn't know how to fix that. Never encountered this before
[04:25] <MTecknology> I suppose, in that case, it's a good thing someone shared a link (above) with you that explains the process in details.
[04:49] <Dj_FlyBy> after running " update-initramfs -d -k " on each of the non installed kernels all is back to normal.
[04:49] <Dj_FlyBy> everything before that in the article kept failing
[04:56] <RobInTaHood193> The issue was my cpu.
[04:57] <RobInTaHood193> launched sys monitor and played videos in different modes and found that when in full screen mode it taxed the cpu
[05:04] <boriseto> Hey there. For some reason my laptop hangs before the Ubuntu logo (loading screen) shows up. Any idea on how to debug what might be the cause?
[05:06] <guiverc> boriseto: i'd suggest using <f10> to edit your grub line that boots your system, on the linux line remove 'quiet splash' (splash causes the plymouth ubuntu logo/video to show instead of boot messages; quiet reduces most of the messages - you want them to debug) & then boot...
[05:07] <boriseto> guiverc: got it, will do, thanks
[05:08] <guiverc> boriseto: you'll find your system still hangs; but you'll have an idea on where/why... useful to debug yourself, plus here (with others helping)...
[05:31] <detly> I'm using Ubuntu server 18.04, and I'm having trouble with an ethernet interface not coming up during boot, even though it's configured with a static IP.
[05:31] <detly> The interface (enp1s0f0) is connected to a device that may or may not be on
[05:32] <detly> But I'd expected that giving it a static IP (via Netplan) would mean it's configured and up no matter what's happening at the other end of the cable (this was the behaviour under ifupdown)
[05:33] <detly> as a result, my DHCP server refuses to run (because there are no interfaces with the appropraite subnet when it starts)
[05:34] <Triffid_Hunter> detly: might want to turn off ifplugd or whatever ubuntu uses to detect if an interface is "running" rather than merely up
[05:35] <detly> I don't think that's even installed
[05:35] <detly> nope, it isn't
[06:32] <lotuspsychje> boriseto: you can also press F1 to see textbooting, to see where it freezes perhaps?

[07:14] <nadavr> Howdy #ubuntu. I'm a noob trying to build a .deb file. I have a file called configsite.install in the root directory of my project and an install file with one line: "configsite.service etc/systemd/system". I get the following error with dh binary: "/mnt/c/Git/configsite/debian/configsite.install: 1: /mnt/c/Git/configsite/debian/configsite.install: usr/lib/configsite.service: not found". What am I doing wrong?
[07:14] <nadavr> Just putting "configsite.service" doesn't work either. It's really weird, if I put "./configsite.service" it tries to load it as a service: "./configsite.service: 1: ./configsite.service: [Unit]: not found"
[07:35] <Guest71905> hi i need to configure a lan, where can I ask for help?
[07:36] <lotuspsychje> Guest71905: perhaps in ##networking ?
[07:40] <Dirkos> Everytime i reboot my system, my /etc/resolv.conf is empty
[07:40] <Dirkos> However my adapter settings promp the proper DNS
[07:54] <daley> hello i have a problem with my /etc/network/interfaces/, can someone help?
[07:57] <ducasse> daley: ask your question, and we'll see
[07:58] <daley> well my dns isn't working
[07:58] <ducasse> daley: can you pastebin the file?
[08:00] <daley> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/bx5dpWskrk/
[08:00] <daley> ducasse: pasted
[08:02] <ducasse> you have no further config for enp0s25 there?
[08:03] <ducasse> you should have 'auto enp0s25' and 'iface enp0s25 inet manual
[08:03] <daley> ducasse: no, is that needed?
[08:05] <ducasse> i think you need those two lines, at least i've always seen and used them
[08:05] <daley> ducasse: ubuntu gives the following error: missing required variable: address. Missing required configuration variables for interface enp0s25/inet. failed to bring up enp0s25
[08:07] <ducasse> which release is this?
[08:08] <daley> i don't think my ubuntu is hooked up to bridge0 because he can't ping the VM who is on bridge0
[08:08] <daley> ubuntu 1803
[08:10] <ducasse> 18.04? you should be using netplan, /etc/network/interfaces is no longer supported
[08:10] <daley> netplan? how do i use that?
[08:11] <daley> my other computer updated from 1604 to 1804 and no problem with the bridge there
[08:11] <ducasse> see netplan.io, there are examples and docs there
[08:11] <daley> i deleted networkmanager
[08:15] <Bugzie> .
[08:15] <Bugzie> Huh
[08:15] <Bugzie> Hmmm
[08:20] <Edisto> what are probabilities to random freezing that doesn't occur on windows? And doesn't show up in syslog
[08:25] <kashi> I am in dire need of HELP, I have been using UBUNTU 16.04 for last 2 months since I ditch windows 10. Today I had some software update or system update which allowed to ran. Shutdown and when came back asking for language and new user setup. I lost my user profile I had and data.
[08:25] <kashi> I have no idea what hppened.
[08:26] <kashi> I think i configured my pc as a system configurator
[08:27] <kashi> I hope i can find my data
[08:27] <Bugzie> If it's not Kernel Panic, you not going to see lost in system log
[08:28] <Bugzie> I dual boot Windows 10 and Fedora now but I don't mind offering the litter expertise I can
[08:28] <kashi> How do I recover my User profile I have lost
[08:28] <Bugzie> There is NO user profile
[08:28] <Bugzie> What doesn't work, check where they save that information, then contact those auto of developers
[08:28] <Bugzie> There is no Registry
[08:29] <Bugzie> Most software put stuff in .config
[08:29] <Bugzie> But it's sparse and not assume that's wholesale where you all save information
[08:29] <kashi> Libvert Qemu , Guest and the one i just created but the old user is gone
[08:30] <Bugzie> kashi: Man, I never checked, but the data is save as root in / somewhere
[08:30] <Bugzie> I don't know where that is, I use virt-manager
[08:30] <Bugzie> I never looked into, perhaps some settings is saved in $HOME
[08:31] <Bugzie> kashi: What do you have for the data disk?
[08:31] <Bugzie> That should change, you can boot, even you distributions?
[08:31] <kashi> i only had one disk drive where i installed the Ubuntu
[08:31] <Bugzie> shouldn't*
[08:32] <Bugzie> I mean disk image
[08:32] <Bugzie> Just re-create it and choose image as your default boot disk
[08:32] <Bugzie> Problem solved
[08:32] <kashi> I have no idea where to begin.
[08:33] <Bugzie> virt-manager?
[08:33] <kashi> I have lost 2 months of WORK
[08:33] <ducasse> kashi: does 'ls /home' show your old username?
[08:33] <kashi> 100 of files
[08:33] <kashi> hold let me check
[08:34] <kashi> no
[08:34] <kashi> my previous user was OEM
[08:34] <kashi> now it is new user what was just created after reboot
[08:35] <kashi> I can't beleive i have lost all my data without any system warning
[08:36] <kashi> there were some updates wanted to appy and i hit ok and asked to reboot
[08:37] <kashi> is there anyway any utility i can scan my hard drive for data
[08:37] <kashi> I am doomed
[08:37] <Bugzie> Launch virt-manager
[08:37] <ducasse> you did have backups, right?
[08:37] <Bugzie> What did you choose for you location
[08:37] <kashi> such critical data of 2 months of work is lost
[08:38] <kashi> I do not want to go back to windows
[08:38] <Bugzie> From I am reading, no one taught you how to use Libvirt properly
[08:38] <kashi> please someone help
[08:38] <ducasse> what does virt-manager have to do with this?
[08:38] <Bugzie> virt-manager is the defacto interface for Libvirt
[08:39] <kashi> what is this libvert qemu log on with password i don't know
[08:39] <ducasse> i know that, but he doesn't have an issue with libvirt afaict
[08:40] <Bugzie> You store the data in root only folder
[08:40] <kashi> yes i think
[08:40] <Bugzie> By default, so it won't be in $HOME
[08:40] <kashi> i store data in default folders like downloads, documents pictures
[08:40] <Bugzie> I mean, libvirt store date in root only folder
[08:41] <kashi> how do i log on libvert-Qemu
[08:41] <ducasse> kashi: the libvirt user is a system user, not intended to be logged in as
[08:42] <cpaelzer> kashi: this is trather unclear - did you loose a guest(disk), or a user in a guest, or just a user on the host?
[08:42] <kashi> how is it possible that some system update overwrite my previous user profile
[08:42] <cpaelzer> it is not
[08:42] <kashi> with new one that was created after reboot
[08:43] <cpaelzer> something is going on, but your description and the discussion is not yet clear enough to actually help you
[08:43] <kashi> user on the host
[08:43] <kashi> I never used guest
[08:43] <cpaelzer> what do you mean by user profile, some user foo and /home/foo is now no more after the update?
[08:43] <kashi> when i first install Ubuntu it asked me to create the user
[08:44] <Bugzie> He doesn't know how to access the DISK
[08:44] <Bugzie> IE, IMAGE disk
[08:44] <kashi> and this time after 2 months some update asked me to do the same after reeboot
[08:44] <Bugzie> Some how, his /home folder
[08:44] <cpaelzer> Bugzie: it sounds like no virtualization at all to me so afr
[08:45] <kashi> so i created a new user and boom i have nothing now softwares i had installed
[08:45] <Bugzie> Not the entire $HOME folder, parts of it got culrupted
[08:45] <kashi> no daata at all
[08:45] <Bugzie> But, he clueless
[08:45] <Bugzie> He needs a bit hand holding
[08:45] <cpaelzer> ack
[08:46] <Bugzie> I am on fedora, I wouldn't mind doing it, but it might be different here
[08:47] <kashi> can i ran a system report and post it for someone to look at my system someone had me do this long time ago for a problem
[08:47] <Bugzie> I need Qemu myself because I do some coding and I use Linux Containers, Docker, and Qemu
[08:47] <kashi> i don't know how to ran
[08:48] <cpaelzer> usually home dirs are skipped intentionally for having private data
[08:48] <cpaelzer> sosreport would be such a tool and then make the tarball available
[08:48] <cpaelzer> but since you look for things in /home something might be missing
[08:49] <kashi> @cpaelzer how do i do it
[08:49] <kashi> sosreport where is it
[08:52] <kashi> All the application I had installed are still available but like i ran Chrome but i do not have my bookmarks or anything. it is like running chrome first time.
[08:53] <ducasse> yes, those would be stored in your homedir
[08:54] <SimonNL> Ubuntu (14.04 LTS and above) users install via apt:
[08:54] <SimonNL> sudo apt install sosreport
[08:54] <SimonNL> kashi
[08:54] <kashi> @SimonN HELP
[08:54] <SimonNL> https://github.com/sosreport/sos    for info
[08:54] <munarkee>  Does Signal store cache files on the phone unencrypted?
[08:55] <ducasse> kashi: you really don't want to be installing things if you should need to rescue data from the disk
[08:55] <ppf> munarkee: how would we know?
[08:56] <ppf> that being said, if you find out, ping me please? ;
[08:56] <ppf> :)
[08:56] <SimonNL> kashi: sorry ducasse is right
[08:56] <kashi> @SimonN @ducasse yes you are right but what i do at this time i am total lost
[08:56] <munarkee> ppf, checking the data file?
[08:56] <munarkee>  /data file
[08:57] <kashi> SimonN , ducasse I have no clue what to do.
[08:57] <ducasse> kashi: you could try photorec to see if it can recover some data for you
[08:57] <ducasse> !recover | kashi
[08:58] <kashi> do ubutu has restore point like windows
[08:58] <ducasse> no, it doesn't
[08:59] <kashi>  ducasse do i need to install photorec via terminal interface
[08:59] <ducasse> kashi: yes, or use a live image (which is probably better)
[08:59] <munarkee> But Signal is an exncrypted messaging app
[09:01] <Tazmain> Hi all, is the https://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/developers download from here different to the normal one ?
[09:03] <ikonia> Tazmain: follow the link, it takes you to the standard download
[09:03] <kashi> I still have ubutu on my USB so when i boot , i select usb right once i am up and running from usb i should go search for photorec in applications and istall it via Terminal interface
[09:03] <guiverc_d> i wonder if kashi was using (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ubuntu_OEM_Installer_Overview) temporary user account - OEM was mentioned previously
[09:03] <Tazmain> ikonia oh thought the ISO might have some extra stuff on
[09:03] <guiverc_d> sorry ignore my last...
[09:04] <ducasse> guiverc_d: that might be something, i didn't see that
[09:04] <kashi> @guiverc_d when i installed ubutu it says something about system configurator account and I let the process continue
[09:05] <ikonia> Tazmain: follow the link, it's the same actual iso
[09:05] <Tazmain> ikonia I did, downloading it
[09:05] <kashi> YES YES I installed it as OEM installed for Manufacture
[09:06] <ikonia> so you can see it's actually the same ISO and the same link, but you thought it maybe magically different even though it's the same URL and ISO
[09:06] <kashi> OMG did i made a blunder
[09:06] <guiverc_d> yeah I know you did kashi; I've never used OEM mode so don't know of it (only heard it mentioned on podcast)
[09:07] <kashi> so now we know and that OEM account is gone
[09:08] <kashi> what trigger that OEM mode or OEM account to be erased and replaced by another account that i had to create after reboot from some updates
[09:10] <kashi> I am rebooting my computer with USB and will be back
[09:12] <Tazmain> ikonia I didn't check both download links, but the page was just making me hopeful
[09:17] <kashif> I am BACK again
[09:17]  * jink hides.
[09:17] <kashif> Now, I have my pc running from USB
[09:18] <kashif> I chose the option run ubuntu without installing
[09:19] <ducasse> kashif: it says that when you run "Prepare for shipping to end user" it will remove the oem user on next boot
[09:19] <kashif> ducasse but i had rebooted my pc several time in 2 months
[09:19] <kashif> but this is the first time someting strange happen
[09:20] <kashif> so i guess i can never recover the oem user
[09:20] <ducasse> yes, you must have run that
[09:20] <ducasse> try photorec, it's part of the testdisk package
[09:20] <kashif> i could careless about the user but what about the DATA stored on physical drive under that user
[09:21] <kashif> what command do i type on terminal ?
[09:23] <ducasse> 'sudo apt install testdisk'
[09:24] <kashif> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt install testdisk Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree        Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package testdisk
[09:24] <ducasse> do 'sudo apt update' first
[09:26] <ducasse> btw, this is why you should always have backups of important data
[09:27] <kashif> yes you are right i was using external drive but for the last 2 months i just keep putting stuff on local machine
[09:27] <kashif> so much has lost made me think Windows Restore point.
[09:28] <kashif> wish ubuntu could go back
[09:29] <kashif> ** (appstreamcli:3511): CRITICAL **: Error while moving old database out of the way. AppStream cache update failed. Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree        Reading state information... Done 207 packages can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see them
[09:30] <kashif> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt install testdisk Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree        Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package testdisk ubuntu@ubuntu:~$
[09:31] <kashif> same error again.
[09:35] <kashif> can someone conclue that I have lost all my data under the OEM temp account and it will never be restored again
[09:35] <ducasse> !recover | kashi see this link
[09:36] <oerheks> that is what oem install basicly does, after install, the 1st boot gives the setup of the user.. but i don't understand why you never rebooted in 2 months
[09:36] <kashif> !recover -- is this a command
[09:37] <oerheks> if you boot normally now, do you get into the OEM user setup again?
[09:37] <kashif> I rebooted but never shutdown and rebooted
[09:37] <kashif> this time i shutdown and rebooted
[09:37] <kashif> This time after shutdown i had the setup screen asking me to create a user again which i did
[09:38] <kashif> so with new user log on i do not see my old OEM user anymore nor any files or data
[09:42] <kashif> The program 'photorec' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt install testdisk You will have to enable the component called 'universe'
[09:43] <kashif> how do i enable the component universe
[09:46] <SimonNL> kashif: what I would do is find some one able and willing to help you so he/she can hang your HDD in his/her computer, install photorec and have a go at it. or install a second hdd in you own computer and install ubuntu on it
[09:47] <SimonNL> hope you get my point there ^
[09:47] <EriC^^> kashif: what's your problem again?
[09:48] <guiverc_d> kashif, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu  (or command is `sudo add-apt-repository universe`)
[09:48] <Bugzie> This is not helping him
[09:48] <Bugzie> You giving some random suggestions that hopefully come some random solution
[09:49] <Bugzie> He's not likely on the computer he is using right now
[09:49] <Bugzie> You not teaching, but too much hand holding
[09:49] <Bugzie> Teach, so he doesn't come back here, isn't tha the goal
[09:50] <Bugzie> kashif: Switch back to Windows, it will be easier for you
[09:51] <EriC^^> !enter | Bugzie
[09:51] <ducasse> Bugzie: that's not a solution we tend to give people here
[09:53] <Bugzie> Instead of wasiting time how enter is used, how about clarify what he needs to do
[09:53] <EriC^^> kashif: what's your problem, i'm fairly sure i can help with your data recovery problems
[09:53] <kashif> @Eric
[09:53] <EriC^^> Bugzie: can you put a sock in it? thank you
[09:53] <kashif> I used an install option OEM_for_Manufacturer
[09:54] <kashif> Since than now I remember I never rebooted my laptop  always just leave it on but today was the first day i had to shutdown
[09:55] <Bugzie> EriC^^: Are you helping solve a problem
[09:55] <kashif> and when i did shutdown it came back asking to create a user again
[09:55] <Bugzie> EriC^^: Stop focusing on me
[09:55] <kashif> @Eric I creare a new user. but I can no longer find my OEM user
[09:55] <EriC^^> !ops | Bugzie
[09:56] <ducasse> thanks
[09:56] <EriC^^> kashif: ouch, when you installed ubuntu, it was still in the live system, til you reboot, that's all in ram and not on the hdd
[09:57] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[09:57] <EriC^^> kashif: i'm afraid whatever you had saved in that session is gone, as far as i know
[09:57] <Marvel> I am buzie
[09:58] <kashif> @Eric but It says Install ubuntu for system manufacturer
[09:58] <EriC^^> kashif: yeah, that option allows customization of the install, like if you were to install and then give the laptop to someone for sale, then he can customize on initial booting
[09:59] <kashif> are you saying it created a RAM drive but how is that possible because all the Application i installed such as Chrome browsers is still available in a sarch and i can ran it but no bookmarks
[09:59] <ducasse> EriC^^: not exactly, he installed in oem mode and kept using the oem user. then it was deleted, and now he's lost his data.
[09:59] <EriC^^> kashif: aha that sounds great then
[10:00] <kashif> @Eric ok so application are there but data is gone like physical files ?
[10:00] <kashif> I can search and run all the application i installed.
[10:00] <EriC^^> ducasse: oh great
[10:00] <EriC^^> kashif: is there anything in /home that looks like your user?
[10:00] <kashif> NO
[10:01] <kashif> the user in home was oem and now it is my name kashi which i created now
[10:01] <EriC^^> kashif: ok, install testdisk as was suggested, it can show you deleted dirs and files
[10:01] <Bugzie2> ducasse: Lost data from /home
[10:02] <chu> Bugzie2: Why though\
[10:02] <EriC^^> if it isn't able to retrieve them, its sister program "photorec" can recover files directly from the hard disk, from this point on it's better you use a live usb and not write anything to the hdd, with every write you risk losing your old files
[10:02] <Bugzie2> chu: You going going spend the day
[10:02] <Bugzie2> chu: KickBan
[10:03] <chu> Seems likely, unfortunately.
[10:03] <Bugzie2> chu: You going spend the day set the mode +m
[10:03] <Bugzie2> chu: You going spend the day set the mode +r
[10:04] <kashif> @Eric I am running ubuntu at the moment from USB and I chose the option install ubuntu without installing . so can i ran what you asked?
[10:04] <EriC^^> kashif: yeah, sure, type sudo apt-add-repository universe && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install testdisk
[10:04] <EriC^^> then "sudo testdisk"
[10:05] <kashif> @Eric i copied what you typed and now pasting it in terminal.
[10:06] <kashif> so far so good
[10:07] <kashif> asking me to create or append
[10:07] <kashif> @Eric what option do i choose from 3.
[10:07] <EriC^^> choose create
[10:08] <kashif> @Eric now I see several drives.
[10:08] <kashif> @Eric can i post it here
[10:08] <kashif> my screen information
[10:09] <EriC^^> kashif: yeah, upload pastes to http://paste.ubuntu.com
[10:09] <EriC^^> kashif: choose the drive in question
[10:09] <EriC^^> the one that has ubuntu installed on it
[10:10] <kashif> @Eric done - https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/7fh5VDsF5d/
[10:11] <kashif> @Eric do I chose -  Disk /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root - 490 GB / 456 GiB - ST500LX025-1U717D
[10:11] <EriC^^> kashif: yeah
[10:12] <kashif> @Eric not this one - >Disk /dev/sda - 500 GB / 465 GiB - ST500LX025-1U717D
[10:12] <bugzie5> chu: ban me
[10:13] <bugzie5> !ops | ban bugzie
[10:13] <kashif> @Eric so >Disk /dev/sda - 500 GB / 465 GiB - ST500LX025-1U717D ------- VS Disk /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root - 490 GB / 456 GiB - ST500LX025-1U717D
[10:15] <EriC^> kashif: yeah choose that one
[10:15] <kashif> @Eric which one
[10:15] <EriC^^> the one that has /dev/mapper in it
[10:16] <kashif> @Eric thanks
[10:16] <kashif> @Eric now asking me for partion
[10:17] <EriC^^> kashif: does it list any?
[10:17] <kashif> @Eric - https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/6HYMmnd8yX/
[10:17] <EriC^^> kashif: yeah press Enter
[10:17] <kashif> @Eric What partion Table I chose - NONE?
[10:17] <EriC^^> yes
[10:19] <kashif> @Eric now - https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/CW9DGHC9Fq/
[10:19] <EriC^^> kashif: try 'analyze'
[10:19] <bugzie6> chu: Ban me
[10:19] <kashif> @Eric Thanks
[10:19] <magiq> I'm trying to install package using dpkg -i. It wrote that needed some packages, after that I try to type apt -f install and it propose me to delete first package itself
[10:20] <magiq> but I expect that it would install needed packages
[10:20] <bugzie6> !ops | ban bugzie6
[10:20] <magiq> why so ?
[10:20] <kashif> @Eric now - https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/MCSDzRPQDG/
[10:20] <EriC^^> magiq: the dependencies might not be in the ubuntu repos
[10:20] <blackflow> chu: ya need to ban the /64 of it
[10:21] <blackflow> oh, ikonia ^^   I was up in the backlog :)
[10:21] <EriC^^> kashif: highlight the ext4 partition and press "p" to browse the file system
[10:21] <ikonia> blackflow: lets see what happens, but you're probably right
[10:21] <baako> hi guys, keep having this issue whereby in terminal when i do nano filename. i look at the file amd do the exiting and then i save it but when it comes out of it, the content of the file is all over the terminal and when i came it just created new text to over what is should, basically make it useless
[10:21] <baako> to type commands
[10:22] <ppf> baako: type reset
[10:22] <magiq> EriC^^: but last time it installs well, but after that for some reason dependencies were deleted
[10:22] <blackflow> ikonia: also note, changing IPv6 subnets, but one thing is constant.  ~marvel@  :)
[10:22] <magiq> EriC^^: so this is second try to install package same way
[10:23] <kashif> @Eric It won't let me do anything at all.
[10:23] <baako> ppf: do i have to reset everytime it happens?
[10:23] <EriC^^> magiq: they might have been updated or removed, pastebin "dpkg -I /path/to/deb" and what is your ubuntu version "lsb_release -sd"
[10:23] <ppf> yes, everytime your tty gets borked
[10:23] <BluesKaj> baako:  to save and exit the file in nano, do ctl+o, enter, ctl+x
[10:23] <kashif> @Eric no key stroke working
[10:24] <EriC^^> kashif: ok, press "q" to go back to the disk selection screen, this time choose the entire disk (without /dev/mapper) and on the partition table selection screen keep the default, it's likely going to be Intel, then analyze again
[10:25] <kashif> @eric got it I had to press forward arrow where it says qucik search now it has given me two options P and Q
[10:25] <yosefrow> What is the significance of "/tmp/.XO-lock"
[10:26] <kashif> @ERIC POSTIN INFO
[10:26] <kashif> @Eric poste - https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/vWC9kcVZTr/
[10:27] <EriC^^> yosefrow: looks like a lock file, so you don't run 2 instances of the application and it gets stuff messed up for instance, why do you ask?
[10:27] <yosefrow> EriC^^, I saw drupal exploits writing to this file via wget
[10:28] <EriC^^> kashif: great, head on over to home using the keyboard arrows, right arrow to descend into a dir
[10:28] <yosefrow> So I imagined that somehow it was significant and what might have been what allowed the exploit to create cron jobs
[10:28] <yosefrow> I've seen this file being used by desktop sessions before I think
[10:28] <BluesKaj> kashif:  this sound trivial atm , but irc doesn't need to use @ to address a nick
[10:28] <BluesKaj> sounds
[10:28] <EriC^^> yosefrow: this is very much offtopic here
[10:28] <kashif> OMG OMG OMG @Eric You are awsome
[10:29] <kashif> @Eric I foungd it
[10:29] <kashif> Blueska ok thank you didn't know
[10:29] <EriC^^> kashif: ok, press 'c' to copy the dir and choose where to save it
[10:31] <kashif> Eric I do not want to mess this last step. I did press C now I have this screen can you suggest?  https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/QfNJPK22Cg/
[10:32] <EriC^^> kashif: how big is /home/oem ?
[10:32] <EriC^^> kashif: actually nevermind that question
[10:32] <EriC^^> kashif: type 'sudo mount /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root /mnt'
[10:33] <EriC^^> then choose to save it in /mnt
[10:33] <kashif> Eric but to type the command do i need exit out of the current screen
[10:33] <EriC^^> kashif: no, just open another terminal with ctrl+alt+t
[10:33] <kashif> @Eric yes thanks
[10:33] <kashif> eric let me do this step
[10:35] <Bugzie9> !ops | ban bugzie
[10:38] <kashif> Eric now I have 2 Terminal Windows open so how do I save it in "MNT" because previous Terminal Window do not have the option.
[10:38] <kashif> @Eric - https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/7nKkbChRgP/
[10:39] <EriC^^> kashif: it does, just type /mnt instead of /home/ubuntu
[10:39] <apacer> hi all.. may i request assistance re ubuntu installation using live usb .. im stuck on step 4 : says: you need at least 8.6gb  .. but i have more than 50gb un allocated partition
[10:40] <EriC^^> apacer: can you post a screenshot?
[10:41] <apacer> EriC^^: that was made on another usb live disk :(
[10:41] <EriC^^> apacer: i dont follow
[10:42] <kashif> Eric Ok I am at the screen where i think i need to press "C" can you take a look at https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/33RVqFKP59/
[10:42] <apacer> EriC^^ im trying to install bionic using a live usb.but i got that error msg.. im on xenial live usb now.thats y i cant have a screeny of that
[10:43] <EriC^^> apacer: oh, well i suspect you didnt select a mountpoint for "/"
[10:44] <EriC^^> apacer: anyhow, can you pastebin 'sudo parted -l' output?
[10:44] <apacer> i was able to get through that stage.i was stuck on step 4 of gui installation
[10:44] <apacer> * i was NOT able to get through that stage.i was stuck on step 4 of gui installation
[10:44] <EriC^^> apacer: were you in the Something else menu? or did you choose the "Erase disk and install or alongside" ?
[10:45] <EriC^^> kashif: ok, press "C"
[10:45] <EriC^^> (shift+c)
[10:45] <Bugzie9> apacer: What was the error message
[10:46] <kashif> @Eric - Done - What next ? - https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/cTwJGffWsk/
[10:46] <apacer> EriC^^:  https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/8TDV6XyBTr/
[10:47] <apacer> Bugzie9:  error : you need at least 8.6gb space to install ,that was on step4 of gui installation of bionic
[10:47] <EriC^^> kashif: try to go into "oem" and see if it lists the files, and look at the size of them to the left
[10:47] <EriC^^> right next to the date
[10:48] <EriC^^> kashif: it's likely testdisk won't be able to recover the files, it might just list the names and dir structure but that's it, photorec will be able to get the files though, just not the names or dir structure
[10:50] <EriC^^> apacer: you have 2 disks?
[10:50] <apacer> EriC: yes
[10:50] <EriC^^> apacer: did you use the Something else option in the installer?
[10:51] <apacer> EriC: im stuck on step4
[10:51] <kashif> Eric in GUI File Browser I do not see OEM folder
[10:51] <apacer> EriC: cannto get on that part
[10:51] <apacer> *cannot
[10:51] <kashif> Eric i see MNT Folder
[10:52] <apacer> EriC step4 says: you need at least 8gb to install
[10:52] <EriC^^> do you have any other disks? cause parted is segfaulting on something related to logical partitions
[10:53] <apacer> EriC: its not formated to logical.its still unallocated last time i check
[10:53] <EriC^^> kashif: try in testdisk as i said earlier
[10:54] <kashif> eric no files found
[10:54] <EriC^^> try browsing for the files in /home/oem, if the sizes are 0 then they're likely gone and you need to use photorec
[10:54] <apacer> EriC : im installing alongside windows7 btw
[10:54] <EriC^^> kashif: in testdisk? or the gui manager
[10:54] <kashif> Eric in test disk in terminal when i press right arrow key on oem
[10:55] <EriC^^> apacer: so just 2 disks and a usb then?
[10:55] <EriC^^> kashif: oh ok
[10:55] <apacer> EriC : 2disk.. 1 live usb.. 1ext drive
[10:55] <kashif> eric - https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/j4DpPJjHVD/
[10:56] <EriC^^> apacer: aha, i think the ext drive has an issue with overlapping logical partitions
[10:56] <kashif> eric what is that folder has "MNT" that i see in GUI file browser
[10:56] <apacer> dang..all this time.. should i disconnect it?
[10:56] <kashif> eric do i still have chance to recover ?
[10:57] <EriC^^> apacer: can you try 'sudo parted /dev/sdd unit co print unit s print' and see what it gives, if anything?
[10:57] <apacer> EriC : ayt.1 moment
[10:58] <EriC^^> kashif: yeah sure, you have a good chance, just the files won't be organized
[10:58] <EriC^^> kashif: are you looking for something specific to recover? that would make it way easier for you to organize stuff after photorec recovers stuff
[10:59] <apacer> EriC : https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/wyQKWkCwkN/
[10:59] <kashif> eric in GUI also when i naviate to te OEM from MNT -  HOME - OEM there are no Files listed
[10:59] <EriC^^> apacer: what about 'sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdd' ?
[11:00] <EriC^^> apacer: sorry make that, sudo fdisk -u s -l /dev/sdd
[11:00] <kashif> eric I need my chrome bookmarks and files that i had under documents and pictures
[11:01] <EriC^^> kashif: so bookmarks, normal text files (or libreoffice pdf etc?) and pictures?
[11:01] <apacer> EriC : https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/vxv74tXGS8/
[11:02] <kashif> eric yes bookmarks all the folder under bookmarks , all the documents under documents folder and all the files under pictures
[11:02] <EriC^^> kashif: the thing is, photorec looks for the file headers, so if the bookmarks have a file header you can tell it to look for that, same for .jpg .png etc files and also any text or pdf or libreoffice, just the more specific you are, you're going to get less of 100000 files in a dir with no name to browse through looking for what you need
[11:02] <EriC^^> kashif: ok, type "sudo photorec"
[11:03] <kashif> eric thanks
[11:04] <EriC^^> apacer: see /dev/sdd3 and /dev/sdd5 overlap
[11:05] <apacer> the live  usb & the last small partition.. hmm
[11:06] <apacer> the ones with asterisk overlaps right?
[11:06] <EriC^^> apacer: yeah
[11:07] <apacer> sdd5 was the loc of the previous ubuntu,it was 40gb before i resize it a while back
[11:07] <EriC^^> aha
[11:07] <Bugzie9> sdd5 is a node
[11:08] <apacer> but even before it was shrunk,installer still insist i need 8.6gb before i can proceed
[11:08] <EriC^^> try in xenial to install, and see if you get past the step, if it hangs try removing the ext hdd and try again and if it works you know
[11:08] <Bugzie9> ext, external?
[11:09] <Bugzie9> External is USB HardDisk?
[11:09] <apacer> Bugzie9:  yes
[11:09] <apacer> this xenial is also problematic :(
[11:09] <Bugzie9> Bugzie9: Partition table do you have on it?
[11:09] <Bugzie9> err
[11:09] <EriC^^> apacer: the start of it overlaps the /dev/sd3 , maybe that's what was throwing the installer off, or maybe the options in the installer are off
[11:10] <Bugzie9> apacer: What Partiition table do you have on it?
[11:10] <Bugzie9> If you don't know
[11:10] <Bugzie9> How large is it?
[11:10] <EriC^^> there's one other thing i can think of, which is stray gpt data, sudo fixparts /dev/sdX should take care of that for you
[11:11] <apacer> Bugzie9:  pls rephrase -- > What Partiition table do you have on it?
[11:12] <Bugzie9> apacer: If you don't know what partition table is, it's a technology from the 90s afaik
[11:12] <apacer> Bugzie9:  How large is it? -- im installing on unallocated partition size of 50gb+
[11:12] <Bugzie9> MBR
[11:13] <Bugzie9> Was introducted by Microsoft, I don't know who introduced GPT
[11:13] <apacer> MBR ? how can i know?
[11:13] <BluesKaj> dos or gpt is the table question
[11:13] <EriC^^> apacer: try to install xenial right now as a test, and let me know what happens
[11:13] <apacer> EriC : is this for me? -- there's one other thing i can think of, which is stray gpt data, sudo fixparts /dev/sdX should take care of that for you
[11:13] <EriC^^> did you try already?
[11:13] <EriC^^> yes apacer
[11:14] <Bugzie9> apacer: newer fdisk can tell

[11:26] <kemisten> can you use samba to mount a share outside lan??
[11:27] <apacer> dmesg on xenial or bionic?
[11:27] <oerheks> samba can work on wan, yes.
[11:27] <kashif> eric are you there ?
[11:28] <kemisten> how do upu do that?

[11:28] <kemisten> which port to direct
[11:28] <oerheks> !samba
[11:28] <Bugzie9> apacer: dmesg is kernel output
[11:28] <Bugzie9> apacer: Haven't anyone told you that?
[11:28] <apacer> none :)
[11:28] <kashif> Eric - I have not bee able to use photorec to recover the files hope to see you again
[11:29] <guiverc_d> kashif, if you want to ping Eric; use his full name (type Eric & hit tab to complete ^^; his term will beep/ping if full name used)
[11:29] <apacer> Bugzie9:  how can i ctrl-a the dmesg output on terminal ?
[11:29] <Bugzie9> apacer: When ther kernel boots, it puts in a ring buffer
[11:30] <kashif> EriC^^:
[11:30] <Bugzie9> apacer: That buffer you can access with 'dmesg', man dmesg
[11:30] <apacer> Bugzie9:  i see
[11:30] <JimBuntu> apacer, `dmesg >SomeFileName.ext`
[11:30] <kashif> EriC^^:  I am unable to naviagte how to use photorec
[11:30] <EriC^^> kashif: sorry i was away, back now
[11:30] <EriC^^> kashif: did you run 'sudo photorec' ?
[11:31] <kashif> EriC^^:  yes - https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/4mKtynYK9R/
[11:31] <Bugzie9> apacer: The first thing, d
[11:31] <EriC^^> apacer: did you try unplugging the ext hdd and seeing if that's causing the partitioning issue?
[11:31] <Bugzie9> Sorry, diagnose a hardware failure, by like at dmesg
[11:31] <EriC^^> kashif: ok, before that press 'q' go to "File opts"
[11:31] <Bugzie9> Make sure there is no `read` errors
[11:32] <EriC^^> there you can select the file types to recover
[11:32] <apacer> JimBuntu:  where is the file saved?
[11:32] <JimBuntu> apacer, in the same place from where you ran the command, in my example
[11:32] <Bugzie9> The Kernel doesn't save a file
[11:32] <Bugzie9> btw
[11:32] <kashif> EriC^^:  Ok back again to select partion
[11:32] <EriC^^> kashif: did you press File opts?
[11:32] <adrian_1908> hey, anyone here using Hexchat? I'd like to join a fixed list of channels manually, i.e. not on every connect to freenode. Any idea how best to accomplish this? (I asked in #hexchat, but silence so far)
[11:32] <Bugzie9> You have Syslogger that doesn't it
[11:33] <kashif> EriC^^: now at file opts
[11:33] <EriC^^> adrian_1908: maybe starting 'hexchat -a' ? in xchat the -a switch stops it from joining automatically
[11:33] <kashif> EriC^^:  yes i did now i have
[11:33] <adrian_1908> EriC^^: i'll check that out, thanks.
[11:33] <kashif> EriC^^: several options
[11:34] <EriC^^> kashif: ok, press 's' to disable all
[11:34] <EriC^^> adrian_1908: no problem
[11:34] <kashif> EriC^^:  done
[11:34] <apacer> JimBuntu:  no output after typing 'dmesg >bugzie.ext'
[11:34] <kashif> EriC^^:  and should i save
[11:35] <JimBuntu> apacer, `cat bugzie.ext` ... output?
[11:35] <Bugzie9> apacer: When you type dmesg
[11:35] <Bugzie9> No output
[11:35] <Bugzie9> That's hard to believe
[11:35] <apacer> its a long output i mean.. how can i copy all of it.
[11:36] <apacer> is there a ctrl-a for terminal outputs
[11:36] <JimBuntu> apacer, however you want, you now have it all saved in a file.
[11:36] <kashif> EriC^^: OK Done!
[11:36] <EriC^^> kashif: no, select all the stuff you need recovered
[11:36] <Bugzie9> dmesg | grep what you looking for
[11:36] <kashif> EriC^^:  ok
[11:36] <apacer> Bugzie9:  i have no idea what to look for :)

[11:37] <Bugzie9> Didn't I say that
[11:37] <apacer> ayt.1 moment
[11:38] <EriC^^> apacer: i already told you there's a fault in your ext hdd that's causing the segfault..
[11:39] <apacer> EriC yep.courtesy to bugzie for his assistance :)
[11:40] <EriC^^> huh
[11:40] <apacer> Bugzie9:  xenial's ubiquity error is ok.im targetting bionic..
[11:41] <kashif> EriC^^: what is the .extenion for Libreoffice and libreoffice calc and pdf and i can't find all
[11:41] <apacer> brb.. will try again
[11:42] <kashif> EriC^^:  and whas would be bookmark file
[11:42] <EriC^^> kashif: open another terminal, and get a template file of libre office, make any new document, and type 'fidentify /path/to/document' it will tell you if photorec can find it and what the filetype is
[11:43] <EriC^^> do the same for a chrome bookmark, if it can't find it, then you need to add that file header to photorec's list
[11:47] <Exterminador> hi guys! stupid question: folder /etc/letsencrypt/live/domain.com/ is owned by root. I'd like to give read permission only to another user too. what is the correct chmod? thanks in advance
[11:48] <Bugzie9> no
[11:48] <Bugzie9> Why would you do that?
[11:49] <EriC^^> Exterminador: sounds like some x-y problem, possibly ##linux can help you out or #ubuntu-server if nobody knows here
[11:50] <Exterminador> EriC^^: thanks
[11:52] <Bugzie9> You abusing Letsencrypt by giving privilege to another person
[11:52] <Bugzie9> It's for you only, you don't share it
[11:53] <Exterminador> Bugzie9: I need read permissions for the IRCd and some other applications.
[11:53] <adrian_1908> Ok, the Hexchat channel issue was straight forward to solve with python scripting.The `-a` option didn't do what I want.
[11:54] <Bugzie9> Exterminador: k, use acl
[11:54] <Bugzie9> Exterminador: setfacl -m
[11:55] <menace> why does ubuntu not fix gnupg for 16.04, though it is in main and should therefore get security upgrades? there's a security update
[11:55] <kashif> EriC^^:  i saved a file under home/documents/dotest.odt so following your statement - fidentify /path/to/document-- how do i type Path?
[11:56] <Bugzie9> Exterminador: I don't think you need to do that, just read access, that's all it needs
[11:56] <EriC^^> kashif: fidentify /home/ubuntu/Documents/dotest.odt
[11:56] <Bugzie9> Exterminador: The default permisison is suffienct enough to give read access, you don't want to give write access

[12:39] <EriC^^> kashif: we need to pass the first number of hex to photorec so it can identify those files, let me see the photorec site doc on how to do that
[12:39] <arda> hello can I get some help?
[12:39] <EriC^^> kashif: reading here https://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/Add_your_own_extension_to_PhotoRec
[12:40] <arda> I have installed a rather problematic ubuntu and now when ı boot up I only see the grub 2.02 screen
[12:40] <Bugzie9> template of chrome bookmarks?
[12:40] <kashif> EriC^^: ok reading
[12:40] <EriC^^> kashif: create a file in /home/ubuntu named ".photorec.sig"
[12:41] <Bugzie9> EriC^^: Is that safe?
[12:41] <arda> can I install ubuntu to a laptop from my desktop?
[12:41] <EriC^^> kashif: put in it "bkm 0 0x7b0a202020226368 65636b73756d223a"
[12:41] <EriC^^> sorry remove the space in the middle
[12:42] <Akuw> anybody can help?
[12:42] <Bugzie9> EriC^^: Do people know what you just posted and is safe for one to incoporate into their Browser?
[12:42] <EriC^^> kashif: then save the file and download that bookmark file from termbin, wget -O /tmp/bookmark http://termbin.com/lta7
[12:43] <Bugzie9> If that's a no, then why you did that?
[12:43] <kashif> EriC^^: save it with quotes? "bkm 0 0x7b0a202020226368 65636b73756d223a"
[12:43] <EriC^^> and try "fidentify /tmp/bookmark" if it worked it should say "bkm" as the file type
[12:43] <EriC^^> kashif: no, without quotes
[12:43] <arda516161> hello I have installed a problematic ubuntu on my laptop and when I boot I get the grub2 cmd screen what should I do?
[12:44] <EriC^^> arda516161: any context? why do you say a problematic ubuntu?
[12:44] <kashif> EriC^^: file named and saved
[12:44] <arda516161> it has failed to startup and closed on mid installation
[12:45] <kashif> EriC^^: to download you want me to go to terminal
[12:45] <vavkamil> hello
[12:45] <EriC^^> did it mention any errors during the install arda516161 ?
[12:45] <EriC^^> kashif: yes, run the wget command
[12:45] <arda516161> no it has not, last thing it said was started run anacron jobs and froze
[12:46] <kashif> EriC^^:  ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ termbin, wget -O /tmp/bookmark http://termbin.com/lta7 termbin,: command not found ubuntu@ubuntu:~$
[12:46] <vavkamil> I have Radeon HD 4250 and ubuntu 16.04, can I somehow get driver for better performance?
[12:46] <EriC^^> kashif: without termbin, "wget ...."
[12:47] <kashif> EriC^^: done
[12:47] <EriC^^> try "fidentify /tmp/bookmark" if it worked it should say "bkm" as the file type
[12:47] <kashif> EriC^^:  posting it so you can verify
[12:48] <oerheks> arda516161, so a broken installation, just install again ?
[12:48] <kashif> EriC^^: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/dgTYNRJjTJ/
[12:48] <arda516161> I do not know how to reinstall it. It worked the first time but it doesnt read the usb now. How to select it from usb?
[12:48] <oerheks> vavkamil, no, openradeon is all (we) have
[12:48] <EriC^^> arda516161: as oerheks said, if it does the same thing look at the output of "dmesg" and pastebin it for others to see
[12:50] <vavkamil> oerheks, it's the default one?
[12:50] <oerheks> vavkamil, yes
[12:50] <vavkamil> I'm confused about this description https://www.lwks.com/index.php?option=com_lwks&view=download&layout=d&dtype=lin_public_deb&Itemid=206
[12:51] <oerheks> ati 2xxx 3xxx 4xxx are so old, so don't expect it to be a game-monster
[12:51] <arda516161> it doesnot have an output for dmesg, there is line that says minimal bash like eiting is supported
[12:52] <oerheks> vavkamil,  that was for pre-16.04 era
[12:52] <vavkamil> oerheks, I'm looking for a decent video editor, openshot is so basic
[12:52] <EriC^^> kashif: sure looks good
[12:53] <kashif> EriC^^:  I have this file called simpletext and i am trying to identify this but i think it is not working.
[12:54] <EriC^^> kashif: try fidentify /tmp/bookmark
[12:54] <grauzikas> Hello
[12:54] <grauzikas> i`m trying TC shaper
[12:55] <grauzikas> and have some problems with it
[12:56] <kashif> EriC^^: ok done so now if i go back to to recovery tool will i be able to fine all those extensions for bookmark, liboffice and libcacl and text files
[12:56] <grauzikas> https://pastebin.com/VmKmpey3
[12:57] <grauzikas> and inside virtual machine i have only 300kbps internet speed
[12:57] <EriC^^> kashif: did fidentify work?
[12:58] <EriC^^> did it say : bkm as the filetype?
[12:59] <kashif> EriC^^: yes i think what i posted and you verified
[13:00] <kashif> EriC^^: fidentify /tmp/bookmark - terminal response back -- /tmp/bookmark: txt
[13:00] <EriC^^> nope let me try it here
[13:01] <EriC^^> kashif: you have something wrong
[13:02] <EriC^^> kashif: pastebin "~/.photorec.sig"
[13:02] <EriC^^> cat ~/.photorec.sig | nc termbin.com 9999
[13:03] <arda516161> guys thereisnt any dmesg or smth like that what should IU do?
[13:03] <kashif> EriC^^: you want me to run cat ~/.photorec.sig | nc termbin.com 9999 in terminal
[13:03] <EriC^^> arda516161: look at /var/log/kern.log
[13:03] <EriC^^> kashif: right
[13:04] <kashif> EriC^^: terminal response - http://termbin.com/unua
[13:04] <arda516161> it says cant find command?
[13:04] <EriC^^> kashif: remove the space in the middle
[13:05] <EriC^^> arda516161: "sudo less /var/log/kern.log"
[13:05] <ytrezq> Hello, it seems debuild doesn?t works for cross compiling, May someone help me on this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qt4-x11/+bug/1776717?? This is not about a derivative since ubuntu maintains arm64 packages in it?s port tree
[13:06] <kashif> EriC^^: bkm 0 0x7b0a202020226368 65636b73756d223a where at ?
[13:06] <oerheks> bkm 0 0x7b0a20202022636865636b73756d223a
[13:06] <EriC^^> kashif: ^
[13:07] <kashif> EriC^^: bkm00x7b0a202020226368 65636b73756d223a  like this
[13:07] <arda516161> I it fixed it myself, have good day :)
[13:08] <EriC^^> kashif: actually nevermind, since the bookmark is just a ascii text file, and you're recovering all text files anyways, you can just use grep later to quickly find the bookmark
[13:09] <EriC^^> kashif: select in photorec's File opts all the files you want it to retrieve, including text od* pdf etc then save changes and scan, when it asks for the filesystem type choose the first option, ext4/ext3 etc and let it scan
[13:09] <EriC^^> also jpg png bmp and other image formats
[13:11] <Brodie> Hello
[13:12] <kashif> EriC^^: ok all file extensions marked except i couldn't find odt and ods file extensions
[13:14] <Brodie> Has anyone here experienced the "Hexchat" icon not flashing inside the Dock? I've asked in #hexchat channel but I've had no luck there.
[13:15] <kashif> EriC^^: maybe i have exit out from photrec and run it again
[13:16] <EriC^^> kashif: no, i think the "zip" files option includes open office files as well
[13:16] <EriC^^> kashif: yes, zip files includes the libre office stuff
[13:18] <kashif> EriC^^: ok done saved and now back to
[13:18] <kashif> EriC^^: file opt
[13:20] <kashif> EriC^^:  which option ? - Please choose if all space need to be analysed: >[   Free    ] Scan for file from ext2/ext3 unallocated space only  [   Whole   ] Extract files from whole partition

[13:25] <kashif> EriC^^: i think something is wrong
[13:29] <kashif> EriC^^:

[13:51] <iomari> greetings, is there any way to speed up nic switching when I'm using 802.3ad bonding?
[13:53] <Akuw> Ubuntu 16.06.1 doesn't have support?
[13:54] <leftyfb> Akuw: there is no ubuntu 16.06.1
[13:55] <Akuw> Ubuntu 16.04.1 doesn't have support?
[13:55] <leftyfb> Akuw: ubuntu 16.04 has support for another 3 years
[13:55] <leftyfb> Akuw: what do you need help with?
[13:55] <Akuw> well, i am trying to install software
[13:56] <leftyfb> Akuw: ok? What software? What issue are you running into?
[13:56] <Akuw> openssh-server
[13:56] <hggdh> Akuw: you really have to give us more details
[13:56] <Akuw> and clean because my /  is full
[13:56] <iomari> is there a clear example of netplan 802.3ad bonding?
[13:56] <Akuw> df show / is 100% used
[13:57] <Akuw> but there are Headers files
[13:58] <Akuw> that partition is 6GB, but /usr/src is taking almost all
[13:59] <leftyfb> Akuw: your root is only 6GB?
[13:59] <Akuw> yes
[13:59] <Akuw> i didnt install
[13:59] <Akuw> was another person
[14:00] <leftyfb> Akuw: this a desktop or server?

[14:03] <kashif> how do i read the todays IRC session log
[14:04] <kashif> what is the address for Archives ?

[14:09] <hfp> Hi, I am facing an issue I don't understand. On DigitalOcean, if I choose Ubuntu 16.04.4, I can install the python-minimal package on the machine and have ansible run with no problems. But on another provider, also with 16.04.4, and installing python-minimal I have to install python-pkg-resources and python-setuptools to get ansible to work. Why does the same package not install the same things? How do I get
[14:09] <hfp> to the bottom of this? To clarify, the only command I run on the machine is apt update && apt install python-minimal; I then run the same playbook from another computer with the new machines as targets.
[14:10] <leftyfb> hfp: contact the providers. They're apparently messing with the default packaging
[14:10] <MibixFox> I can not seem to get xbindkeys to run as a systemd service im using this as my .service file and it keeps  failing saying core dump https://github.com/t-8ch/systemd-user-units/blob/master/xbindkeys.service
[14:10] <leftyfb> hfp: I've found a default install of ubuntu requires me to install python before ansible will run on it
[14:12] <hfp> leftyfb: yes, I install python with the python-minimal package and that's enough for all the ubuntus I've used. Except for that one provider, their ubuntu also requires these two additional packages installed.
[14:12] <MibixFox> https://pastebin.com/vVLg5Gmr
[14:12] <MibixFox> that is the error i get
[14:12] <leftyfb> hfp: contact the provider
[14:13] <hfp> leftyfb: alright, thanks
[14:15] <skinux> I'm trying to figure out why my laptop cannot run VMs worth a crap. I'd like to get a list of all commands of which output would help someone answer that question for me.
[14:15] <donofrio> is it safe to dpkg --force to resolve this "preinst: ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/spawni.c:368: __spawnix: Assertion `ec >= 0' failed."
[14:15] <iomari> when using netplan 802.3ad bonding, is it normal for all the joined ports to have the same mac address?
[14:16] <r4co0n> Hi, I'm working on some web-based software where we are using apache2, and now we want to support HTTP/2.
[14:17] <Akuw> this is the content   https://pastebin.com/mm8R2GG6
[14:17] <r4co0n> The relevant packages in ubuntu, source package nghttp2, is at 1.32.0 upstream and in Debian buster, but Ubuntu only has an old version.
[14:18] <leftyfb> Akuw: did you run the script I gave you?
[14:18] <leftyfb> r4co0n: which version of ubuntu?
[14:19] <r4co0n> leftyfb, looking at xenial, I got 1.7.1, but even cosmic is only at 1.30.0
[14:19] <leftyfb> r4co0n: is there something wrong with 1.30.0?
[14:20] <r4co0n> leftyfb, the software is building against xenial as of now.
[14:21] <r4co0n> It's the nextcloud snap package, we consider building nghttp2 ourselves.
[14:21] <leftyfb> r4co0n: ok, you either use 1.7.1 on xenial or 1.30.0 on bionic
[14:21] <r4co0n> Is there something like backports for Ubuntu - I know my way around Debian, but am kind of lost right now...
[14:21] <r4co0n> ?
[14:22] <leftyfb> r4co0n: AFAIK, building a snap does not need to rely on versions of packages in the ubuntu repo. It can use other repos and even source files from github
[14:22] <leftyfb> r4co0n: yes, ubuntu has backports
[14:22] <leftyfb> !backports | r4co0n
[14:25] <skinux> Is there no setting in GUIs to upgrade to Bionic?
[14:25] <leftyfb> skinux: not until 18.04.1 due out next month
[14:25] <r4co0n> leftyfb, do you have any idea if a backport of nghttp2 would be welcome? I am just considering options, and this seems a lot easier than building from source. We are using the packages as build-packages for apache. Yes, we could build them ourselves, but building your build dependencies is a lot of overhead.
[14:26] <leftyfb> r4co0n: maybe ask in #ubuntu-devel?
[14:26] <r4co0n> leftyfb, i will do, thank you
[14:28] <ganesh> hey
[14:29] <kiriuha> jds
[14:29] <kiriuha> hello
[14:29] <ganesh> how is ur experience with ubuntu???
[14:29] <kiriuha> me raspberry pi
[14:30] <ganesh> huh
[14:39] <skinux> How can I upgrade 16.04.1 to having PHP 7.1? I've done all updates.
[14:40] <genii> !info php7.1 xenial
[14:40] <genii> !info php7.0 xenial
[14:40] <genii> skinux: Looks like it has not been backported yet
[14:41] <skinux> Okay. Well, what is my best option?
[14:42] <skinux> should I install it as an independent binary and change symlinks?
[14:42] <MibixFox> welp think i just ruined my linux install :'(
[14:43] <MibixFox> err ubuntu
[14:43] <Fuchs> congratulations. How, and how can we help you?
[14:43] <adrian_1908> skinux: one option is to use a PPA. Might be recommended against by some, but Ondrej striked me as trustworthy. https://launchpad.net/%7Eondrej/+archive/ubuntu/php?field.series_filter=xenial
[14:43] <adrian_1908> I used it before
[14:44] <genii> skinux: You may find a PPA which has a 7.1 package already for Xenial, that would be the first place to start looking
[14:44] <MibixFox> I think  when i did a sudo apt remove xautomation and xbindkeys it uninstalled cinnamon my default gui
[14:44] <adrian_1908> definitely better than manual maintenance, based on security updates alone
[14:45] <MibixFox> screen is just flickering now
[14:45] <MibixFox> grrrrrr i just had everything set up almost perfect too
[14:46] <Fuchs> MibixFox: you should be able to boot into a rescue shell / other terminal only mode
[14:46] <Fuchs> where you can re-install the needed packages with apt
[14:46] <MibixFox> im going to try
[14:46] <r4co0n> MibixFox, can you get to a console using [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[F3](or [F4],[F5],...)
[14:46] <Fuchs> if that doesn't work for whatever reason, you can boot a live ubuntu system, chroot into your installed system and install stuff via apt
[14:47] <MibixFox> im not sure what it all installed
[14:47] <Fuchs> MibixFox: /var/log/dpkg
[14:47] <Fuchs> should list installs and uninstalls
[14:47] <MibixFox> k ty
[14:47] <skinux> Well, I notice the PPA is untrusted....should I revmoe current PHP first?
[14:47] <Fuchs> should be able to derrive that from there
[14:48] <webmind> I got a kernel package that doesn't want to be deinstalled: http://paste.debian.net/1029235/
[14:48] <adrian_1908> skinux: untrusted is just a cautionary message, like "not digitally signed" in windows. You don't need to remove current PHP.
[14:48] <MibixFox> booting in to recovery mode
[14:49] <adrian_1908> skinux: you add the PPA, run `sudo apt update && sudo apt fullupgrade` and it should suggest to your a newer PHP version. You installed PHP via the `php7` metapackage, yes?
[14:49] <webmind> Can't get them removed, none of the usual 'dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq' or 'apt-get install --reinstall' don't work however
[14:49] <webmind> any ideas on how to fix thus?
[14:49] <oerheks> webmind, ask in #debian?
[14:49] <webmind> this
[14:49] <skinux> How come they won't let me upgrade 16.04.1 to 18.x already?
[14:49] <webmind> oerheks: why? it's ubuntu
[14:50] <adrian_1908> skinux: who is they?
[14:50] <skinux> Yes, I installed via php 7 package
[14:50] <skinux> Umm, whoever controls when the upgrades are enabled...
[14:50] <adrian_1908> skinux: well, if it's your computer, you can upgrade to whatever you want.
[14:51] <MibixFox> Fuchs:  if im in a root terminal how do i accesss that log of dpkg
[14:51] <MibixFox> nano /var/log/dpkg doesnt seem to work
[14:51] <adrian_1908> skinux: anyway, I gotta go now. The PPA is a good option if you just want to get this over with.
[14:51] <Fuchs> MibixFox: either with a pager like less   (less /var/log/dpkg.log)  or with cat
[14:52] <Fuchs> MibixFox: I recommend a pager as the file is potentially rather big  (or at least tail, to only have the last few lines)
[14:55] <MibixFox> heh this really isnt make much sense to me
[14:56] <MibixFox> do an apt-get install for anything that has remove next to it?
[14:57] <webmind> any ideas on how I can get my apt working again?
[14:58] <Fuchs> MibixFox: only the ones that got recently uninstalled and you expect to be reason for your problem
[14:58] <Fuchs> MibixFox: aside from that: yes
[14:58] <Fuchs> well, apt install, on more recent versions (with sudo)
[15:00] <SimonNL> webmind: which version is in use ?     uname -a will show
[15:02] <webmind> SimonNL: 4.4.0-128-generic
[15:02] <MibixFox> oh my Fuchs  it looks like it uninstalled every gui https://pastebin.com/RGNeEe5A
[15:02] <SimonNL> webmind: you can't remove what is in use
[15:02] <webmind> SimonNL: I'm trying to remove linux-image-4.4.0-124-generic
[15:03] <webmind> that's a different kernel
[15:03] <Fuchs> MibixFox: oh dear, yes, it removed xorg (the graphical user interface server, unless you use wayland) and your desktop environment along
[15:03] <Fuchs> MibixFox: do re-install your desktop, that should pull in xorg as a dependency
[15:03] <SimonNL> webmind: sorry, must be something wrong with my eyes
[15:03] <Fuchs> cinnamon-desktop-environment  << this thing potentially pulls in what it needs
[15:03] <MibixFox> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[15:03] <MibixFox> ?
[15:04] <MibixFox> heh how do i get out of this less thing
[15:04] <webmind> this is how I ran into it. apt upgrade is broken due to these packages: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/YttKS22nnj/
[15:04] <Fuchs> MibixFox: q
[15:05] <Fuchs> MibixFox: and on recent versions sudo apt install cinnamon-desktop-environment   (assuming you want that, if you want gnome (or unity, on older versions) ubuntu-desktop probably also works)
[15:05] <hggdh> MibixFox: to exit less, use :q
[15:06] <MibixFox> Fuchs:  im having some issues here
[15:06] <MibixFox> read only filesystem
[15:06] <Fuchs> MibixFox: how did you get your root shell? You might have to re-mount it
[15:07] <Fuchs> as in:  umount, then mount again. Won't work if you are using anything of that filesystem, though
[15:07] <MibixFox> in the gnome thing i did advanced boot option then hit root shell
[15:07] <augz> You aren't on a live environment are you?
[15:07] <SimonNL> webmind: this might help   https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=947124
[15:07] <MibixFox> no im not
[15:07] <Fuchs> then a remount should work, unfortunately I am not too familiar with the ubuntu rescue shell, so I leave this part to others
[15:09] <MibixFox> mount -o rw,remount / seems to have worked
[15:09] <MibixFox> but it has no internet connection
[15:09] <Fuchs> if you are lucky you have the packages cached, otherwise you need to establish one
[15:10] <Fuchs> easiest would be with a LAN cable and something that speaks DHCP, if you need wlan it will be a pain
[15:10] <MibixFox> i have an ethernet plugged in just not sure how to enable it
[15:11] <webmind> SimonNL: nope
[15:12] <webmind> I solved it by disabling the grub update script for the removal procedure
[15:12] <aleksander> huh… any ideas why ctrl+del in terminal outputs „~5” ?
[15:12] <aleksander> „5~”
[15:14] <grobi> hallo aleksander  i just tried with the same output
[15:15] <grobi> but no warranty if this is normal .. ;)
[15:15] <Rags> Hi guys, I have installed ubuntu18.04 desktop. Trying to do apt-get update but getting 403 forbidden message.. can someone help me on this?
[15:16] <zetheroo> I am trying to install 18.04 on a UEFI system but noticed the encryption option is grayed out ... is this normal?
[15:17] <MibixFox> Fuchs:  i dont see any eth adapters in /dev/ :(
[15:17] <XenophonF> Another quick follow-up re: installing/running 18.04 on my Inspiron 1501 - I was able to boot the XUbuntu installer without any trouble.
[15:17] <XenophonF> so I don't know if my issues have to do with Wayland or what
[15:17] <SimonNL> aleksander: grobi same output here
[15:18] <Fuchs> MibixFox: does ifconfig show it?
[15:18] <Fuchs> MibixFox: then you can try ifconfig INTERFACENAME up   or   dhclient INTERFACENAME
[15:21] <Rags> Trying again, seems nobody noticed my post.. I have installed ubuntu18.04 desktop. Trying to do apt-get update but getting 403 forbidden message.. can someone help me on this?
[15:21] <freezer> hi
[15:21] <MibixFox> let me see i had to restart
[15:22] <freezer> After some undervolting my LUKS partition on the SSD fails to mount most of the time, says "no key for this passphrase" ; like after 100 tries it works maybe. Undervolting has been reverted already. Is his hardware failure of the SSD?
[15:24] <MibixFox> oh there is an enable networking thing
[15:24] <MibixFox> before you go in to root
[15:24] <MibixFox> wonder if that does anything hehe
[15:25] <MibixFox> woah
[15:26] <MibixFox> ok im starting to fix it i think :D
[15:27] <Fuchs> MibixFox: great :)
[15:27] <augz> if you're root you can try ifup
[15:28] <MibixFox> it basically just booted me into a normal boot without my gui
[15:28] <augz> you will need to know your interface name for your connection though, you can find that with ifconfig
[15:29] <augz> or I just learned of the -a switch which will attempt to connect all automatic interfaces
[15:29] <augz> ifup -a
[15:29] <MibixFox> instaling ubuntu-desktop should have installed xorg too?
[15:29] <danze> p
[15:29] <danze> hellp
[15:29] <augz> which release are you using?
[15:29] <danze> hello
[15:29] <MibixFox> looks like it did
[15:29] <lotuspsychje> !ask | danze
[15:30] <danze> quit
[15:31] <MibixFox> rebooting!
[15:31]  * MibixFox crosses fingers
[15:32] <zetheroo> is it possible to encrypt an installation of Ubuntu on a UEFI system?
[15:32] <DirtyCajun> yes?
[15:32] <augz> MibixFox, I have a theory of your configuration because I've been dealing with something similar. Nvidia drivers just completely kill my GUI, I had to forcefully uninstall them for my GUI to come back.
[15:32] <MibixFox> augz:  no i uninstalled a gui program and it somehow uninstalled all its dependencies too
[15:32] <DirtyCajun> zetheroo, yes. UEFI is just for the bios boot level.
[15:33] <MibixFox> like the whole ubuntu-desktop
[15:33] <MibixFox> lol
[15:33] <akd> Does anybody has a live stream link in asia for watching Russia Saoudia Arabia?
[15:33] <augz> ouch
[15:33] <zetheroo> DirtyCajun: ok, odd then that's it's greyed out for me :/
[15:33] <MibixFox> shoot i think i should have edited the autostart file :p
[15:33] <MibixFox> we'll see...
[15:34] <lotuspsychje> !ot | akd
[15:34] <akd> What is ubuntu?
[15:35] <XenophonF> if I want to install xubuntu using deboostrap, do I still start with `debootstrap bionic /mnt`?
[15:35] <XenophonF> (I'm assuming yes, and then install xubuntu-desktop when done.)
[15:35] <lotuspsychje> !ubuntu | akd
[15:35] <MibixFox> still no luck :(
[15:35] <akd> lotuspsychje, so ubuntu is not pants or book
[15:35] <akd> it is an OS
[15:35] <freezer> how does a LUKS header get corrupted?
[15:36] <akd> is an OS required to watch streaming?
[15:36] <freezer> seems like this happens more often than not
[15:36] <lotuspsychje> akd: you have entered the ubuntu support channel, no livestreams here
[15:40] <akd> is there a channel I can ask how to watch world cup from asia in streaming ?
[15:41] <MibixFox> lol
[15:41] <lotuspsychje> !rootirc | bhoman
[15:41] <lotuspsychje> !alis | akd to search channels
[15:43] <XenophonF> oh I found the debootstrap scripts
[15:44] <XenophonF> which I think answers my question: yes, start with debootstrap bionic and install xubuntu-desktop after
[15:46] <theGoat> so the HME for 14.04 expires april of 2019, what will happen then.  no more updates?
[15:47] <oerheks> jups, 14.04 ends there
[15:48] <theGoat> ugh.....
[15:48] <theGoat> how much space is needed to perform a do-release upgrade?
[15:49] <oerheks> depends on what you have installed/is upgradable.. do a -d dry run?
[15:49] <lotuspsychje> theGoat: and how space do you have left? why take a risk?
[15:50] <oerheks> with systemD in 16.04, i would do a fresh install
[15:53] <DirtyCajun> whats everyones opinion of netplan?
[15:54] <DirtyCajun> all 28 of my VMs are 16.04 > 18.04 upgrades so they all still use /e/n/i file but it looks... nice
[15:55] <MibixFox> alskdjf;lasdjfaskdjfa
[15:55] <MibixFox> OMG
[15:55] <MibixFox> it came back to me!
[15:55] <lotuspsychje> !discuss | DirtyCajun
[15:55] <Ool> DirtyCajun: and wait friday for this one :)
[15:57] <regeya> I apologize if this is in the forums/bug reports; my google-fu is weak today.  I've got a collection of MP3s that are largely from Google and Amazon, and when I play 'em back in Gstreamer apps they sound distorted, less distorted in Audacious.  No such distortion in Ogg Vorbis files.  I don't *think* I was having this issue under Arch but I'm not 100% sure.
[16:00] <MibixFox> Fuchs:  thank you so much think i have it all sorted now :)
[16:01] <Fuchs> MibixFox: glad to hear and you're welcome :)
[16:01] <Fuchs> *throws foxcookie*
[16:01] <oerheks> regeya, all mp3 sound distorted, that is why i use Clementine with build-in equaliser :-)
[16:02] <oerheks> and type of speakers is important too ..
[16:02] <oerheks> laptopspeakers are good enough for error beeps
[16:03] <MibixFox> it kept all my gui setings too :D
[16:05] <MibixFox> im not sure how i did that
[16:06] <qswz> http://dpaste.com/1VRQX8H Can someone explain why I can't execute this file?
[16:06] <MibixFox> sudo apt remove program can uninstall dependencies?
[16:06] <MibixFox> and sudo apt-get remove program too?
[16:07] <qswz> well it's a special OS on google-cloud
[16:07] <qswz> that might explain it
[16:07] <lotuspsychje> MibixFox: if you uninstall a package, it automatic purges unneeded stuff too
[16:07] <lotuspsychje> MibixFox: unless there are shared dependecys with another package
[16:09] <oerheks> qswz, as it is not -rwxr-xr-- , it is just a file
[16:09] <oerheks> x = executable
[16:09] <MibixFox> just trying to figure out how  sudo apt-get remove xautomation and sudo apt remove x11-utils would uninstall ubuntu-desktop and cinnamon
[16:09] <MibixFox> lol
[16:09] <oerheks> lol
[16:10] <qswz> -rwxr-xr-x
[16:10] <qswz> it's that ^
[16:10] <lotuspsychje> MibixFox: dont remove packages your not sure about
[16:10] <MibixFox> well i had just installed them, thought it was safe to remove them
[16:11] <qswz> oerheks: the x flag is set, I've chmod +x it
[16:11] <nacc> MibixFox: you're remove reverse-dependencies
[16:12] <nacc> MibixFox: not dependencies
[16:12] <nacc> lotuspsychje: that's not true (re: automatic purges)
[16:12] <nacc> lotuspsychje: it is true if you pass --autoremove
[16:12] <lotuspsychje> right
[16:12] <MibixFox> so doing those remove commands shouldsnt have removed my guis?
[16:12] <oerheks> have fun with docher and "it's a special OS on google-cloud"
[16:13] <yueyingqishi> 你们在说啥呢
[16:13] <nacc> MibixFox: no it should hve (well, only if you said yes')
[16:14] <nacc> MibixFox: if you remove X and Y depends on X, apt will also tell you it needs to remove Y.
[16:15] <MibixFox> haha i probably said yes :p
[16:15] <qswz> oerheks: mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/usr/local/bin’: Read-only file system
[16:15] <qswz> I get things like that
[16:16] <qswz> yea nvm
[16:16] <qswz> will do another way
[16:16] <qswz> (as a bash function)
[16:16] <oerheks> qswz, not an ubuntu issue
[16:23] <Jonta> qswz: Why not share your solution with the channel? :)
[16:25] <oerheks> yes, to that special google cloud channel
[16:25] <oerheks> :-D
[16:27] <eraserpencil> hey guys, I'm not sure what I did, but I realised ALT and left arrow key changes my tty/runlevel
[16:29] <nacc> tty and runlevel are totally different things
[16:29] <oerheks> tell us how you realised?
[16:30] <nacc> what version of ubuntu as well, eraserpencil
[16:30] <eraserpencil> 16.04
[16:30] <eraserpencil> ok, not runlevel, its tty that changed
[16:31] <eraserpencil> actually, its ALT with any arrow keys
[16:31] <eraserpencil> I'm on weechat, ALT and left/right used to let me scroll through the IRC channels i joined.
[16:33] <nacc> eraserpencil: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1508146 which was duped to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1710637
[16:33] <eraserpencil> I'm on Gnome Ubuntu 16.04
[16:35] <nacc> there are some proposed workarounds
[16:37] <eraserpencil> thanks. I
[16:37] <eraserpencil> I will try them out
[16:38] <eraserpencil> hmm could you share with me your workflow. What do you do when you encounter someone (like me) witth a bug you dont have? Do you immediately head to the known bugs page of Ubuntu/Debian/Linux and do a search?
[16:39] <nacc> eraserpencil: google.
[16:39] <nacc> first hit for "alt and arrow key changes tty"
[16:41] <eraserpencil> ha. okay
[16:41] <sergedx> When I press poweroff button on the chassis, a dialog box appears in which I can cancel or confirm powering off within 60 seconds. Is it possible to run my own script beside that? E.g. I want to perform my own script on such event.
[16:41] <sergedx> I've tried these recommendations, this is not working anymore: https://askubuntu.com/questions/473693/run-a-script-when-power-button-is-pushed
[16:42] <nacc> sergedx: what version of ubuntu?
[16:42] <sergedx> 18.04
[16:43] <sergedx> The goal is to perform "killall qemu-system-x86_64" to kill my KVM instance that is running windows 10. Because I'm using GPU and USB passthrough, keyboard and mouse cannot be used when VM is running. So this is for recovery situations, when I cannot correctly shutdown hanged KVM instance.
[16:45] <nacc> sergedx: why not make a systemd unit? https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/39226/how-to-run-a-script-with-systemd-right-before-shutdown
[16:45] <blackflow> sergedx: you can specify pci busses for hardware passthrough, thus you can have more than one mouse and keyboard connected, or at least, switch the usb ports when needed between host and VMs
[16:46] <sergedx> will it be executed anyway, even if I didn't confirm shutdown in the dialog mentioned in my first message?
[16:47] <nacc> sergedx: systemd doesn't know about that dialogue
[16:47] <nacc> sergedx: so yes.
[16:47] <nacc> sergedx: systemd is the init system, it doesn't even really know about the desktop proper, it's just managing the services that run, so you make a service that doesn't do anything on start and does a killall on stop
[16:48] <sergedx> What service is invoked when I'm pressing the poweroff button? acpid, right?
[16:48] <blaster> I'm trying to upgrade a remote server and it keeps getting stuck at 0% [Waiting for headers]
[16:49] <sergedx> for this dialog to be shown, some service must request that
[16:49] <nacc> sergedx: i'm not sure it's a service
[16:49] <nacc> sergedx: at least in the sense i mean with systemd; it's an acpi event, yes, probably handled by acpid
[16:49] <nacc> oh nm, acpid is a systemd unit
[16:56] <mborkar> hello guys, m new to IRC
[16:56] <Guest66965> Hi do you know a good  OpenCV web hosting  ?
[16:58] <mborkar> Nope am sorry!
[16:58] <Guest66965> OK
[16:58] <mborkar> Can anyone kindly help me out with iscsi multipathing
[16:59] <Jonta> mborkar: Yes
[16:59] <leftyfb> !offtopic | Guest66965
[17:02] <Guest66965> excuse me I typed /join #opencv but xchat has stand in #ubuntu
[17:03] <mborkar> I am trying to figure out how to get my iscsi multipathing to work
[17:04] <Jonta> What have you tried so far, etc?
[17:04] <Jonta> Guest66965: Maybe you've joined #opencv as well, and need to switch to that channel
[17:04] <jaydemir> I want to build a basic file server for my office to reduce the dependency on google drive. I have a few machines at my disposal, but DDR3 ram is scarce and I'm practically swimming in DDR2. Is it a significant difference what I use?
[17:05] <Jonta> jaydemir: How about starting with DDR2, and if you see that's not enough: Go to DDR3?
[17:05] <Pickles1> How do I see how much swap space is used?
[17:06] <sergedx> nacc: I found the reason why it didn't work. The syntax of my /etc/acpi/events/powerbtn was wrong. It just called for a script (e.g. "sudo /etc/acpi/kill_kvm.sh"), but should be like this key-valued configuration: http://dpaste.com/0KB79BK.txt
[17:08] <Jonta> Pickles1: `free`?
[17:08] <Jonta> Or top, or htop
[17:08] <Pickles1> Right, how much swap space is free
[17:08] <Jonta> Yes, the command `free`
[17:09] <Pickles1> Awesome! thank you
[17:09] <Jonta> Pickles1: :) - From https://www.tecmint.com/commands-to-monitor-swap-space-usage-in-linux/
[17:09] <Jonta> Googled "How much swap space is used ubuntu"
[17:12] <sergedx> blackflow: you answer may help two, but I'm trying to build a solution that uses as few devices as possible (no kvm switch or multiple input devices) and with minimal replugging kbd/mouse/monitor to different ports
[17:13] <nacc> sergedx: ah makes sense
[17:18] <ImageJPEG> So how would I go about sharing my wifi to an ethernet connection? I don't want to do any routing or anything, Just sharing the connection using the same ip space
[17:23] <Curlyears> heigh hough
[17:23] <EriC^^> kashif: hey dude, how'd the recovery go? i had to go
[17:24] <Curlyears> I am confused.   Yesterday I created an iso archive.  This morning, I can't find it in the CLI.   I can go to the dashboard and find it, but I simply cannot find it under the CLI.
[17:25] <EriC^^> Curlyears: try "locate <name of iso>"
[17:25] <Curlyears> EriC^^    thanks,  I'll try thaat
[17:29] <Curlyears> OK, that worked.,  Thanks.   Now . . .
[17:31] <Curlyears> I have an iso archive (15.5GB) I want to burn to a BlueRay.   I have d/led cdtools, but I don't understand how to use them to actually access my BlueRay drive, which, with a blank disc in it, still does not show up in my list of available storage devices
[17:32] <EriC^^> Curlyears: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CdDvd/Burning
[17:33] <leftyfb> Curlyears: jeeze. If you had just used rsync to a flash drive you'd be done 3 days ago
[17:34] <Curlyears> EriC^^:  that link desc ribes dragging the icon for the data to be burbed and dropping it on the DVD icon.   Since my BlueRay is not showing up inb  ny available storage devices, I am not sure how to do this\
[17:35] <Curlyears> leftyb:   rsynch?  (also, my available USB thumbs are 8 GB, not large enough)
[17:35] <EriC^^> Curlyears: does it show up under "lsblk" ?
[17:35] <bigMouthCommie> using 18.04 lts. when i close my laptop, it suspends. i want it not to do that
[17:36] <EriC^^> Curlyears: look for /dev/sr0
[17:36] <Curlyears> EriC^^:   well, there is an sr0 listed, yes
[17:36] <EriC^^> Curlyears: https://askubuntu.com/questions/867112/does-ubuntu-16-04-lts-have-blue-ray-support
[17:36] <Curlyears> EriC^^:  this is 14.04
[17:37] <EriC^^> bigMouthCommie: look at settings > power options or similar it should be somewhere there
[17:37] <EriC^^> Curlyears: same thing
[17:37] <Curlyears> Which I don't quite understand.  I upgraded thre 14.04 to 16.04 yesterday, but when it rebooted, it was still only allowing me to boot 14.04    What did I d wrong?
[17:38] <arooni> anyway on ubuntu 18.04 to set up automatic updates (not just security updates) but to auto install all available updates every 24 hours or so?
[17:38] <leftyfb> arooni: yes, but not recommended
[17:38] <arooni> i think i already have unattended upgrades setup but it doesnt seem to auto upgrade; even after enabling for auto updates (not just security)
[17:38] <arooni> why not
[17:39] <leftyfb> arooni: make a cron job that does: apt upgrade -y
[17:39] <arooni> leftyfb: do i need to do ; sudo crontab -e ?
[17:39] <leftyfb> yes
[17:39] <arooni> id assume i neeed sudo for that
[17:39] <arooni> leftyfb: why isnt that recommended
[17:39] <arooni> i just get tired of typing the commands manually
[17:39] <Curlyears> EriC^^:  OKJ....that liuk states that cdreclrd can be used to write large files to BluwRay discs.  But in perusing the cdrecord help file, I don't see the information I need to do so
[17:40] <arooni> and since it 18.04; i find there are a lot of updates as they get ready for the point release
[17:40] <leftyfb> arooni: you've been running ubuntu since at least 2009 and you can't answer that?
[17:41] <arooni> leftyfb: how do you know about how long i've been an ubuntu user?  channel logs huh
[17:42] <Curlyears> no clues as to why my updated 16.04 still won't boot to anything but 14.04?
[17:42] <leftyfb> Curlyears: I thought you were looking for help with backing up files?
[17:43] <Curlyears> leftyfb:   I am, so I can safely upgrade to 18.04 LTS
[17:45] <leftyfb> Curlyears: how big is your /home directory?
[17:45] <Curlyears> leftyfb: approximately 15.2 GB
[17:46] <leftyfb> Curlyears: $6 16G flash drive at walmart
[17:47] <Curlyears> apparently I  have to successfully upgrade to 16.04, before I can upgrade to 18.04.  At least, the 18.04 upgrade only claims to work for 16.04 and 17.<?>
[17:47] <Curlyears> leftyb:   A)   I have $0 until Jul3.   B)   I have no way to get to Walmart.
[17:48] <Curlyears> but, yes, that would be an attractive alternative, otherwise
[17:51] <Curlyears> Hmmm...  I just tried  cp -r dataiso /dev/sr0, but it claims /dev/sr0 is not a directory so it can't copy to it
[17:51] <jason> hello
[17:52] <Curlyears> EriC^^:   did I lose you?
[17:52] <Guest27516> no
[17:52] <Guest27516> wath is this
[17:53] <Bashing-om> Guest27516: Read the /topic .. this be the ubuntu operating system support channel :)
[17:53] <doug16k> Curlyears, just redefine unsolvable problems into subproblems, then insert the subproblem solutions before the unsolvable problem. insert a new node "get flash drive" before "install 16.04", then recursively solve "get flash drive" by inserting "get $6" before it. recursively solve "get $6" however you see fit
[17:55] <Curlyears> doug16k: what a *delightful* example  of a useless comment that was.
[17:55] <cluelessperson> how do I fix this?
[17:55] <cluelessperson> https://i.imgur.com/qLWYrC3.png
[17:55] <cluelessperson> the task bar is hiding the title bar for windows
[17:55] <cluelessperson> can't drag/move the windows now
[17:57] <Curlyears> does anyone know whether the 18.04 LTS upgrade will correctly upgrade a 14.04 system?   The instructions only mention 16.04 and 15.<whatever>
[17:58] <oerheks> cluelessperson, you can, [win] + alt and you can drag the window
[17:59] <leftyfb> Curlyears: pretty sure you can/should only upgrade between adjacent LTS's. Not skip them.
[18:00] <oerheks> 'correctly'... but your current upgrade is a mess
[18:00] <oerheks> fix that first?
[18:00] <Curlyears> leftyfb:   that's kinda what I  assumed.   But I did an upgrqade to 16.04 yesterday, and when it reooted, the system will only offer 14.04 for boot\
[18:00] <Curlyears> rebooted
[18:00] <kneeki> So, I'm using crontab to run a .sh script I wrote. What's wrong with: /var/www/wolfltc-website/Apache/./certbot-renew.sh ??
[18:00] <leftyfb> Curlyears: then it didn't upgrade. How did you do the upgrade? How are you determining you're still on 14.04?
[18:01] <genii> leftyfb: No, direct oldest supported LTS to latest directly is now supported
[18:01] <leftyfb> genii: that new?
[18:01] <genii> Yes, this cycle
[18:02] <Curlyears> leftyfb:   1) the boot selection menu offer 14.04 for boot.  2)   when I ask the system to tell me what version it is, it says Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
[18:02] <leftyfb> Curlyears: cat /etc/issue
[18:02] <panictest> exit
[18:03] <Curlyears> oops, I was mistaken.  14.04.05
[18:03] <Curlyears> genii:   so, I shoould be able to safely upgrade directly to 18.04?
[18:04] <leftyfb> yup, but it'll cost you $6 ;)
[18:04] <Curlyears> leftyfb:   then I am going to have to wait until July 3 to do so, as I h ave no access top any money whatsoever until then
[18:05] <genii> Curlyears: Not until 18.04 reaches first point release of 18.04.1 sometime in July
[18:05] <leftyfb> lol
[18:06] <raa_> im trying to use virtualbox. im getting an error that says to reinstall virtualbox dms with modprobe drv. when i do that in the terminal it says  modprobe: FATAL: Module vboxdrv not found in directory /lib/modules/4.15.0-23-generic what does that mean and how do i fix it?
[18:06] <oerheks> so 4th july will be independence day
[18:07] <Curlyears> oerheks:  interesting coinkydink.
[18:07] <pixelfog> What is the purpose of the linux-oem kernel flavor?
[18:08] <Curlyears> genii:   OK.  SO I either do a serial lupgrade 14.04 -> 16.04 -> 18.04, or wqait until July, right?
[18:09] <oerheks> pixelfog, i am sure there is a description where you found it >>  linux-meta-oem  Complete OEM Linux kernel and headers
[18:09] <genii> Curlyears: Pretty much
[18:09] <bigMouthCommie> EriC^^: i looked around a lot. i don't see anything about the behavior for closing the lid
[18:09] <Curlyears> thanks, genii
[18:09] <Curlyears> it's too bad this sort of information isn't easier to locate
[18:12] <pixelfog> I guess I meant, more specifically, who should use the linux-oem kernel instead of the linux-generic kernel? And why does the -oem kernel use a different versioning system? I googled hard and couldn't find any explanation.

[18:17] <Curlyears> \well, me going to try upgrading to 16.04 again
[18:22] <MibixFox> lol whenever i enable autologin on cinnamon it just spazzed out my monitor
[18:30] <bigMouthCommie> EriC^^: it worked! thank you thank you
[18:31] <EriC^^> bigMouthCommie: great, no problem!
[18:32] <raddos> Hi, I'm having some problem getting ubuntu too boot after installing ubuntu server 18.04. It just enteres "grub rescue" right after start up. Can anyone take a quick look at my boot-repair log file too see if they spot any problems?
[18:32] <Jonta> raddos: Paste it in the pastelink in /topic
[18:32] <raddos> 'http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/JGfY5vvmQQ/
[18:36] <kashif> EriC^^: it did not go well i will share with you later. i may have to do it again and i will need your help until than i am not installing anything. i should have used external drive for recovery data. nothing make sense what is recoved.
[18:37] <kashif> EriC^^: will you be available late night tonight after 11:59 pm CST
[18:39] <MibixFox> ooo i think i need to set cinnamon to auto login using software rendering since i dont have a hardware renderer
[18:43] <nacc> pixelfog: there is also a #ubuntu-kernel channel, iirc
[18:45] <EriC^^> kashif: i'm afraid not
[18:46] <kashif> EriC^^: whenever you are available kindly let me know.
[18:50] <EriC^^> raddos: looks like the core.img in the bios boot partition doesnt have the right partition to look for grub's files, giing the grub rescue>
[18:51] <EriC^^> raddos: are you in the live usb right now?
[18:51] <raddos> EriC^^, I can be in a few min. Just tried to reinstall it again
[18:51] <EriC^^> ok
[18:52] <raddos> I'll ping you when I'm on the live usb
[18:52] <EriC^^> kashif: probably around 2am cst
[18:52] <EriC^^> raddos: ok
[18:54] <raddos> wow, a 4th reinstall did the charm. I just had to create a /boot/ partition
[18:55] <raddos> Thanks for taking the time to read the log though EriC^^
[18:56] <EriC^^> cool, np
[18:57] <tkeith> Does anyone here have experience with running Ubuntu Desktop 18.04 on a headless machine without any display? I accomplished this in 16.04 using Xvfb, but now that we've switched from LightDM to GDM, I can't figure out how to accomplish this.
[18:57] <coconut> Anyone who knows why aria2 would work downloading a torrent on a vpn, and transmissionbt not?
[19:03] <oerheks> depens what guide you follow for transmission & vpn, it is not done in 3 mouseclicks
[19:04]  * oerheks looking @ https://www.htpcguides.com/configure-transmission-for-vpn-split-tunneling-ubuntu-16-04-debian-8/  and https://blog.ipredator.se/howto/restricting-transmission-to-the-vpn-interface-on-ubuntu-linux.html
[19:05] <coconut> i did not follow any guide tbh.
[19:05] <coconut> thank you oerheks :)
[19:06] <oerheks> maybe aria2 is easier to setup, never tried it myself
[19:27] <jackhum> My ubuntu is acting weird , with no sound ( a permanent mute mode ) and desktop doesnt load. Can anyone help me to g totroubleshoot this
[19:31] <Bashing-om> jackhum: System wide issue or your account issue ? .. what results when activating a guest account ?
[19:33] <jackhum> @Bashing-om: interesting tip. I will let you know when i try that
[19:35] <jackhum> Smhow. There is no sound , video player doesnt work and desktop environment is acting wierd.  I saw it getting stuck on login screen as well. Kali on same system is working without problem
[19:51] <jake9> im trying to unzip file and i got this : bad CRC 23c57adf  (should be ada1588a)
[19:52] <skinux> Is php-fdomdocument the same as php-ext-dom?
[19:52] <nacc> jake9: check the hash of the file, it might be corrupt
[19:52] <jake9> nacc its not
[19:52] <nacc> skinux: php-ext-dom is not an ubuntu package
[19:55] <jake9> nacc: https://pastebin.com/kmqJnLYV
[19:56] <nacc> jake9: uh, did you compare that md5sum to wherever you got it from?
[19:57] <nacc> jake9: on its own, it doesn't mean anything
[19:57] <nacc> and not sure why you pastebinned a hexdump
[19:57] <jake9> so what is the problem ?
[19:58] <nacc> jake9: did you verify the zip is not corrupt?
[19:59] <jake9> nacc how?
[20:00] <nacc> jake9: by commparing the md5sum of the zip file locally to the one on the server you got it from, if they provide it
[20:00] <nacc> skinux: no
[20:00] <nacc> skinux: i think for php-ext-dom you want php-xml in ubuntu
[20:00] <nacc> skinux: as it's now part of php proper (in 7+)
[20:01] <nacc> skinux: fdomdocument is https://github.com/theseer/fDOMDocument
[20:01] <rfleming> Good afternoon!  Is there a way to install Ubuntu where you can install onto disk first, and then on first boot it prompts for username and password?
[20:02] <jake9> nacc i dont have the server
[20:02] <EriC^^> rfleming: "install as oem manufacturer" in the grub menu of the installer
[20:03] <rfleming> Which installer?  Standard desktop?
[20:03] <EriC^^> yes
[20:04] <nacc> jake9: you don't know where you got the zip file from?
[20:04] <nacc> jake9: then no, you probably can't verify it's not corrupt.
[20:04] <jake9> nacc: so what can i do
[20:04] <jake9> ?
[20:04] <rfleming> Ahh, F4 - Modes
[20:05] <nacc> jake9: don't use the zip file?
[20:17] <jfcaron> Apparently the Intel MRAA/UPM libraries for "internet of things" stuff is available for Ubuntu Desktop...but how do you actually get hardware pins in a desktop computer?
[20:19] <Lope> Hi, I want to install gcc version 5 on ubuntu 18.04 but there aren't versions that old in the repos, do I need to build it from source, then use update-alternatives to choose the old gcc version, will that work?
[20:19] <nacc> Lope: why do you need gcc 5?
[20:19] <nacc> !info gcc-5 bionic
[20:20] <genii> jfcaron: These features are more for implementation in Intel based development boards which have IO headers onboard
[20:20] <nacc> Lope: also, gcc 5 is definitely available.
[20:21] <Lope> nacc: I need to compile a CUDA 8.0 program, which requires gcc version 5 and won't work with newer versions.
[20:21] <jfcaron> genii: I see.  There is no connection to e.g. Arduino or other open-source hardware devices?
[20:21] <Lope> oh, thanks nacc, will try
[20:22] <genii> jfcaron: Offhand, I do not know the answer to that question
[20:22] <Lope> nacc: thanks, that's amazing, I somehow missed the gcc-5 package.
[20:22] <nacc> Lope: yw
[20:23] <Sven_vB> what's a good way to automatically choose a display number for an X server to be started?
[20:23] <jfcaron> genii: Thanks, I will switch over to #arduino.
[20:25] <skinux> Is PHP 7.2 missing ext-dom extension in php.ini by default?
[20:25] <nacc> skinux: what are you talking about?
[20:25] <nacc> skinux: did you read what I wrote?
[20:29] <Lope> nacc: now I need to somehow select gcc 5 as the default. I tried running `update-alternatives --remove-all gcc; update-alternatives --remove-all g++` I also tried --config and --set
[20:29] <Lope> same error for all of them basically. I don't really know what I'm doing in this regard.
[20:30] <ppf> !xy
[20:31] <skinux> Sorry, I had missed it. It sems I may have fixed it
[20:34] <nacc> Lope: is gcc actually controlled by alternatives?
[20:34] <nacc> Lope: usually you use '--list' firt
[20:35] <Lope> nacc: google turned up some stuff that suggested that, but I tried to use a similar syntax as I used for java but I couldn't find it at /usr/lib/gcc/5.5.0/gcc or bin/gcc etc
[20:36] <ppf> Lope: what are you trying to do
[20:36] <Lope> ppf: compile a CUDA 8.0 program to run on my compute-cabability 2.1 GPU
[20:36] <Lope> it requires a gcc version not newer than 5 (error says so)
[20:37] <ppf> Lope: nvcc -ccbin=gcc-5
[20:37] <Lope> it worked on ubuntu 16, now I've upgraded to ubuntu 18 and having these issues
[20:37] <Lope> ppf: I'm not sure how to do that, but will look in the makefile, thanks.
[20:37] <ppf> cuda 9 supports gcc6
[20:38] <Lope> ppf: cuda 9 doesn't support compute capability 2.1 GPUs though ,so I have to use CUDA 8
[20:38] <ppf> right
[20:38] <Lope> I see in the Makefile, NVCC := blah/bin/nvcc -ccbin $(HOST_COMPILER)
[20:39] <Lope> oh and that gets set in the line before, to g++
[20:39] <Lope> HOST_COMPILER ?= g++
[20:39] <Lope> I think that means if it's null, it becomes g++
[20:39] <Lope> so I'll try pass it in...
[20:40] <Lope> which g++-7 shows it exists.
[20:40] <Lope> but which g++-5 does not exist.
[20:41] <Lope> any ideas?
[20:41] <ppf> just set HOST_COMPILER to g++-5
[20:42] <Lope> ppf: but I don't have such a file?
[20:42] <nacc> Lope: uh, install g++-5
[20:43] <Lope> oh, right, Sorry. I installed gcc-5 but not g++-5
[20:43] <Lope> it's installing. thanks!!!
[20:46] <Lope> AMAZING!! it works, you've made my night nacc and ppf thank you very much!!!
[20:52] <ppf> welcome :)

[21:58] <Jonta> CalicoFlows: Check the ownership of the file(s) you're trying to modify
[21:58] <Jonta> $ file nameofyourfile
[21:59] <Jonta> That'll give you a bunch of letters and hyphens first

[22:22] <yates> any idea why the samba daemon, smbd, does not appear to be starting using "systemctl start smbd"?
[22:23] <Jonta> yates: Any error messages?

[22:27] <yates> nothing
[22:28] <compdoc> might try    sudo /etc/init.d/samba status
[22:28] <nacc> yates: you could try and grep for smb, one thing
[22:28] <CalicoFlows> So I followed  this guide but it didn't work https://ivan.reallusiondesign.com/thinkpad-t430-ubuntu-fan-control/ Couldn't I just manually set the fan speed? The fan is quite quiet and the laptop tends to get warm, I just want to run it at high at all times... or at the highest inaudible level :)
[22:28] <nacc> yates: alternatively, systemctl status smbd
[22:28] <yates> nacc: i did that
[22:29] <nacc> yates: did what? I said two things. We also have now way to know what you did or didn't do.
[22:29] <yates> https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/8orODJeEXP33cd9VFImTvw
[22:29] <yates> the most recent thing

[22:30] <yates> nacc: not there
[22:30] <yates> i've run the daemon interaactively too (as root) and it just exits
[22:31] <nacc> yates: without saying why? what is the exit code?
[22:31] <yates> what that bash variable ?
[22:31] <yates> $#?
[22:31] <nacc> yates: $?
[22:31] <yates> 0
[22:32] <nacc> yates: you run `sudo /usr/sbin/smbd; echo $?` ?
[22:32] <nacc> or somethig along those lines
[22:33] <yates> i am root. i ran "smbd" followed by "echo $?"
[22:33] <yates> no output either
[22:33] <nacc> yates: try smbd -F
[22:33] <nacc> https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/current/man-html/smbd.8.html
[22:33] <nacc> and maybe -S
[22:33] <yates> that returns 255
[22:33] <yates> and immediately returns, no joy
[22:33] <Cl3arD3stroy3r> whats up

[22:35] <yates> i did
[22:35] <Curlyears> when I insert a 64GB MMC "card" into my multi-format front panel slot, how do discover where it is in my filesystem?
[22:35] <yates> oh wait.
[22:35] <yates> i was not looking in the samba subdirectory
[22:36] <yates> yeah, it's just after 18:33 here: https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/EpSv4DbvmdSTMc6CSyrV4g
[22:36] <yates> failed to setup guest info?
[22:36] <nacc> yates: i think something about auth, i'd google around a bit
[22:36] <nacc> yates: or ask in #samba (if it exists)
[22:36] <nacc> Curlyears: look in dmesg to see what the disk was detected as
[22:36] <yates> i've been asking there half the day. crickets.
[22:36] <yates> thanks nacc
[22:36] <nacc> Curlyears: then check `mount` to where it's mounted
[22:36] <yates> !! :)
[22:37] <nacc> yates: sorry about that; i don't know much more about samba; you might also ask in #ubuntu-server
[22:37] <Curlyears> nacc:   when I insert a 64GB MMC "card" into my multi-format front panel slot, how do discover where it is in my filesystem?
[22:37] <nacc> Curlyears: i just told you.
[22:37] <nacc> Curlyears: don't ask the same question again without bothering to read.
[22:37] <Curlyears> nacc:  yeah, your message just popped ontom my screen as I was hitting enter, sorry]
[22:37] <nacc> Curlyears: ok, np
[22:41] <Curlyears> nacc:  I see a tmpfs mounted, but it doesn't unmount when I pull the memroy card out, which I would expect it to do, yes?
[22:41] <nacc> Curlyears: your mmc card wouldn't be a tmpfs
[22:42] <Curlyears> nacc:   what would it show up as?   That was the only entry in mount table that suggested the MMC to me.
[22:42] <nacc> Curlyears: did you read both messages I sent?
[22:43] <nacc> Curlyears: 1) unplug your card. 2) plug your card in, see `dmesg` output. 3) correlated `dmesg` output with `mount` output.
[22:43] <nacc> depending on your setup, the card may not be mounted at all
[22:43] <Curlyears> nacc:  no, I missed the one about dmesg, sorry
[22:47] <CalicoFlows> What is the best way to scan for malware?
[22:47] <kk4ewt> on linux or on windows
[22:48] <CalicoFlows> ubuntu :)
[22:48] <kk4ewt> linux really doesnt get malware as such
[22:49] <CalicoFlows> but browsers do, which is concerning right now. My windows chrome is infected, I visit the same websites in ubuntu as well
[22:50] <CalicoFlows> and honestly, I think that's a myth...
[22:50] <CalicoFlows> that linux is so so sexure
[22:50] <CalicoFlows> ooh, it might be that, but not THAT secure :)
[22:51] <Ricey> Hey guys, can someone give me a hand on connecting to my wifi on Lubuntu? :)
[22:51] <nacc> !antivirus | CalicoFlows
[22:54] <CalicoFlows> nacc, I don't know really... When I was messing around with RAT's a few years back, I was certainly not impressed... and I am just a noob, I don't have any knowledge
[23:07] <Sven_vB> reason #1 is somewhat bogus on a lot of installs, where the primary user also is a sudo user. especially if their sudo is unlocked with the same password as their screensaver.
[23:11] <Ricey> Can anyone give me a hand in enabling my Wifi Device? I'm running Lubuntu 18.04 and it sayd Wi-Fi Networks device not ready. Please help? :)
[23:11] <Sven_vB> Ricey, have you checked rfkill list?
[23:11] <Ricey> I just did that, it says soft blocked no and hard blocked no
[23:14] <Ricey> Any tips Sven_v8
[23:14] <nacc> CalicoFlows: I don't know what you're referring to, sorry.
[23:21] <Curlyears> nacc:   I just finished scanning the mesg log.  I found no (identifiable by me) reference to the MMC card.  I could give you quite a discussion about how the GPU was configured, and how the 9 cores of my CPU are configured, though :)
[23:21] <Curlyears> man, that dmesg log is a BIG file to scan manually
[23:22] <Curlyears> s/mesg log/dmesg log/    sowwy
[23:23] <nacc> Curlyears: uh.
[23:23] <nacc> Curlyears: literally, it will be the last few lines
[23:23] <Ricey> Can anyone give me a hand in enabling my Wifi Device? I'm running Lubuntu 18.04 and it sayd Wi-Fi Networks device not ready.
[23:23] <nacc> Curlyears: there's no need to scan an entire log for the most recent event
[23:23] <nacc> Curlyears: alternatively `tail -f /var/log/syslog` in a terminal, unplug and replug the disk, pastebin the output from tail
[23:24] <Curlyears> nacc:  that IM what I presumed as well.  But the last few lines in the file are referncing cups
[23:26] <nacc> Curlyears: are you sure the disk is recognized?
[23:34] <Curlyears> nacc:   which disk?  I am having issue with an MMC card in a media reader slot
[23:34] <nacc> Curlyears: yes, the card would be seen as a disk
[23:35] <nacc> Curlyears: you should see sommething about mmc0, i expect, and then maybe mmcblk0
[23:36] <nacc> Curlyears: i assume you also have mmc-utils installed
[23:36] <nacc> not entirely sure if that's needed
[23:36] <nacc> https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/hardware-cardreader.html.en maybe helps
[23:40] <PigDude> Hi, just starting today my system is randomly crashing (after an update, but I update most days). I can't find anything interesting in the logs, but the temp sensors look fine
[23:41] <PigDude> btw sorry if I PART, it may do it again
[23:41] <Curlyears> great!   That article says if the media reader doesn't show up under Thhis Computer," is is probably not compatible with my systemj.  And yet, the UISB port on it works.   Odd]
[23:42] <PigDude> nothing's changed about the machine or the environment it's running in (temp, power), software it's  running, etc... it's not likely a power interruption because everything else stays on
[23:43] <Curlyears> damn it.  Every time I thinhk I have found a way to back this system up in anticipation og upgrading from 14.04 to 18.04, I run into yet ANOTHER problem.  If I  had the money (and a way to get to the Walmart) I would just back the directories I am worried about ont a USB stick.  But the largest USB stick I have on hand is 8GB, and the directory col
[23:43] <Curlyears> lection is 15.2 GB
[23:43] <PigDude> when I power the machine back on, it shuts down again after about .5s (pre-BIOS), then boots fine
[23:44] <Curlyears> pre-BIOS, there is nothing to shgut the machine down, except the hardware of your PSU
[23:44] <PigDude> I mean it's possible the motherboard just started reading artifically  high temps at odd intervals
[23:45] <PigDude> but the quick reboot I'd expect to persist if it were a hardware issue...
[23:45] <PigDude> (keep rebooting)
[23:45] <Curlyears> why "artificially high?"   A temp sensor could have failed, I suppose
[23:45] <nacc> Curlyears: oh you're trying to get a MMC card to work under 14.04?
[23:45] <PigDude> sure, something like that
[23:46] <Sven_vB> PigDude, I once had a similar problem because my power-on switch became stuck internally. the spring drove the visible knob back out but electrically it was pressed all the time.
[23:46] <PigDude> in hardinfo, I have two reported CPU temps but only one seems to vary
[23:46] <Curlyears> nacc:   Yes.   I was taking a nap, and all of a sudden I remembered that O h ave a 64GB  MMC card, and this media reader.  I thought to myself "AHA!  Problem solved!"   No such thing.  :(
[23:46] <nacc> Curlyears: somewhat interesting for other things to try: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2305712
[23:47] <PigDude> so it's always possible it's not reading it, and eventually it really heats up, machine powers off for one reason or another, then the quick fan on reboot cools the CPU w the bad sensor, hm ...
[23:47] <PigDude> does anybody know about identifying temp sensors as they appear in hardinfo? both report as "k10temp/temp1"
[23:48] <PigDude> one reports 49C constantly, the other is hovering around 33.5C
[23:48] <Sven_vB> Curlyears, couldn't you mail-order a large USB thumb drive?
[23:48] <Curlyears> AHA!   lusb shows the media reader detected!
[23:50] <PigDude> that may just be some hardinfo gui bug, I just exported a text report from hardinfo and it reports each CPU temp as 33.75C
[23:50] <PigDude> or the export is bugged, who knows hehe
[23:50] <PigDude> if I run hardinfo as root, I see the accurate temps for both
[23:50] <PigDude> so I don't think it's a sensor issue
[23:51] <PigDude> weird about hardinfo though
[23:51] <PigDude> oh well, guess I'll just hope a future update fixes it
[23:51] <PigDude> is there anything else I could be looking at here in Ubuntu? other thing I'll do is check out the BIOS
[23:52] <mattfly> hello, are the nvidia drivers on the default ubuntu repos the really most recommended for gaming and like vulkan and so on????
[23:52] <PigDude> oh I see the hardinfo bug, it's not to do with permissions. when you open it up, it reports a single temp for the dual pad CPU unit, but the GUI only updates the second of the two over time
[23:52] <Curlyears> Aha!   that article helped.  It is mounted on /dev/sdc0
[23:53] <PigDude> Curlyears, thanks btw!
[23:54] <PigDude> the machine handles me playing dota fine so I guess I'll just be careful about starting new processes interactively hehe
[23:54] <PigDude> as the poweroffs happen when I spawn a process, as if the whole thing's being OOMed
[23:56] <PigDude> Sven_vB, thanks also, looks like the power button's working fine but I wouldn't have thought of that
[23:56] <Sven_vB> I have a shell and some programs running in xvfb with a different Xauthority file. is there an easier way to control the xvfb session than x11vnc <--{TCP}--> remmina?
[23:56] <Sven_vB> PigDude, took me several hours of debugging, too.
[23:56] <PigDude> Sven_vB, can you use xdotool for that?
[23:57] <Sven_vB> I do use xdotool for keyboard input, but I need to point and click now.
[23:57] <Sven_vB> and I'm too lazy to measure pixels on the screenshot
[23:58] <PigDude> what are you trying to click on?
[23:58] <Sven_vB> a slider control. (tone frequency)
[23:59] <mattfly> or is it better to follow something like this?
[23:59] <mattfly> https://www.tecmint.com/install-nvidia-drivers-on-ubuntu/
[23:59] <mattfly> on ubuntu bionic
[23:59] <PigDude> hm not sure how you'd locate the control, maybe if it's accessible you can tab to it and use left/right keys
