[00:04] Got a workaround I had to install inxi before I did the first apt-get dist upgrade - https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/issues/2615#issuecomment-397737124 for anyone that is wsl and ubuntu 18.04 I'm lurking as always.... [00:05] after suspending, when the laptop comes back, there is a white error screen. [00:05] i checked the kern log, and saw ati driver errors. [00:05] where should i report it to? [00:18] hi [00:19] kwest [00:23] artu1, ask your question [00:26] Hi all. I have a process somewhere that is maxing out my network upload all the time. How can I find which process is maxing out my upload? [00:31] is enybody who is kwowing why from u8 platform wont throw google show pictures and leters === root_ is now known as Guest73027 [00:42] Can running a command using screen make an application slower? [00:43] what command did you have in mind Goop [00:44] I wanted to run a Minecraft modded server (FTB comes with a bash script that runs a Java command) [00:45] dont see why it would, why not run a test [00:46] that's also heavily dependent on the script and whatever hw you have, I would imagine [00:46] I have, but using it is so confusing. My goal is to be able to SSH into a Debian server, run the server command and be able to get out of the Minecraft server console and disconnect SSH without interrupting the server. [00:47] so more of a general linux type question, not solely ubuntu [00:48] Yeah. [00:48] perhaps try in ##linux Goop [00:54] Goop, use screen [00:55] thats what he was asking about [00:55] oh [00:55] oops [; [00:55] Client: HexChat 2.14.1 • OS: Ubuntu "bionic" 18.04 • CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2450M CPU @ 2.50GHz (805MHz) • Memory: Physical: 15.2 GiB Total (14.4 GiB Free) Swap: 7.8 GiB Total (7.8 GiB Free) • Storage: 41.8 GB / 2.2 TB (2.2 TB Free) • VGA: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller @ Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family DRAM Contr [00:55] oller • Uptime: 2h 33m 46s [00:55] Sorry.

[00:57] just ^a d [00:57] When I need a command to run in terminal so that i can disconnect and get back to it later, I install a desktop that I can easily remote into. open a term window, leave it running and disconnect. I like Mate, but theres many others [00:58] and screen -r to re-attach [00:58] Sound in browser doesn't start playing instantly, only after approximately second. Once upon a time, I have found the solution for this problem. It's time to find it again :) [00:59] ubuntu 18.04 (previous too) [01:00] I have a problem where x cannot access /dev/dri/card0 during boot [01:00] It is somehow related to sound card energy saving. Is it possible to disable it through ubuntu settings? [01:01] sakhd, do you allow the system to sleep? [01:07] compdoc, that is a horrible idea. A WASTE of system resources. [01:10] Goop, gosh no. been doing it in poduction servers for years. takes up a few megs of disk space, and after you disconnect the only real cpu time is that of your process. even when youre connected there is very little impact [01:11] modern computers and a well done desktop gui are not quite you you imagine [01:16] I do a minimal install. no need for bluetooth services, etc === Trystam is now known as Tristam === zx is now known as lbdesign [01:40] Hello?

[01:53] tomreyn: Found a driver for my adapter - https://static.tp-link.com/2018/201805/20180514/TP-Link_Driver_Linux_series8_beta.zip [01:53] Looks like it was uploaded very recently too [01:56] hey [01:56] anyone here ? [01:57] No. [01:57] :) [01:57] is there a way to disable network checking and only install from the iso for ubuntu? [01:57] only blkadder is here. and cxc99 [01:57] , sure [01:57] cxc99 [01:58] i uncheck the checkbox during install, and i still see it "downloading" stuff [02:00] what is the best linux os ? [02:00] the one that you like :) [02:00] im using mint and im very love it [02:02] tomreyn: Looks like the driver's made for 4.13.. kernel (16.04) [02:02] Is there a way to make it work with kernel version 4.15?

But I need the cpufreq extension to tame ht egnome-shell beast eating all my cpu and making my laptop too hot. [02:03] swift110 congratulations [02:11] ANAND: you already have a driver, which is loaded, and works, just you said the performance wasn't good enough, yet. the driver you are currently using is probably rtl8xxxu ("lsmod | grep rtl" would tell) [02:12] if that's the one you have now then look into "modinfo rtl8xxxu | grep ^parm" to see any available configuration parameters which you can experiment with. [02:14] this said, you can also try the driver you found now. which they apparently tested on ubuntu 16.04, and linux miint 18, and kali - weird choices. === test is now known as Guest5210 [02:14] you'll need to build it yourself, following the instructions included with it. [02:14] * tomreyn afk === Menzie is now known as Menzador [02:18] Hello guys! Anyone cares to share some info regarding the Ubuntu World [02:20] Guest5210, this is a support room, your question to me is better suited to #ubuntu-discuss [02:21] Great! I am interested... What do you guys usually support? [02:24] Guest5210: Do you have an issue? [02:24] If so, just ask away :) [02:25] Well, I think that I am mainly having a few with the package manager displaying every now and then a few errors when attempting to install some packages [02:28] Guest5210, for us to help it'd help if you were specific, ie. exact error message ... if you have multi-line pastes etc, we can tell you how to use ubuntu.pastebin (or use whatever you know) [02:30] I see but I dont think that I need to specifiy anything as I already mentioned to you the the issue is with the package manager and installation [02:32] i don't know what installation you're running (ubuntu, xubuntu, kubuntu..) let alone your version (14.04, 16.04...) nor what package manager you're using (they vary by flavor) - but the error messages are specific & elude to clue (eg. unsupported release so pointing in wrong place etc..) [02:42] Anyone experiencing issues with the package manager displaying errors with packages installation [02:43] specifically on ubuntu 14.04 [02:44] Hi can anyone explain Ubuntu? [02:44] why does it not provide easy access? [02:45] JoeyTheHakeroo, easy for the disabled? [02:45] How do you install the thing? Is it really made by Africans? [02:45] no it's not [02:46] !manual | JoeyTheHakeroo [02:46] JoeyTheHakeroo: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [02:46] have a read of that JoeyTheHakeroo [02:47] hello [02:47] But why is it called Ubuntu? Is this thing from Africa? [02:47] yeah sure [02:47] Guest5210, i just booted my 14.04 desktop; it's updating now (okay on my used mirror anyway) - do you download from main site?, country mirror? or isp mirror? what package? (ie. is it from a repo you don't have enabled? i can check if I know what package..) [02:47] right guys [02:48] I dont really understand the manual. Nor the installation practices. I am trying to escape Windows but Linux platforms are insane. [02:48] Is this really made by some African peoples? [02:48] JoeyTheHakeroo, that's more of an offtopic dis cussion [02:48] wtf [02:49] JoeyTheHakeroo, no it's not , please stop asking that [02:49] what is offtopic? I came here bc I was told I can get help about get started on Ubuntu [02:49] JoeyTheHakeroo, we gave you a link to read [02:49] Who makes this stuff? Why did they called it Ubuntu. [02:49] Lol, why do you need to know if ubuntu is made by Africans, do you have a problem with that? [02:49] i think he is racist lolol [02:50] JoeyTheHakeroo, a free downloadalbe manual to introduce you [02:50] BC I don't understand any of it and it is weird [02:50] JoeyTheHakeroo, fyi: the main guy who is behind Ubuntu is from South Africa [02:50] they have computers there JoeyTheHakeroo [02:50] Not sure if it was like that project some indians did for my company and the thing was impossible to comprehend. [02:50] We never again hired Indians to do the work [02:50] omg [02:51] hello, what is the best way to get optimus working on 18.04? [02:51] JoeyTheHakeroo, please take this to an offtopic chat channel [02:51] South Africa? So it is made in Africa? [02:51] guys [02:51] wtf [02:51] JoeyTheHakeroo: Again, this is a place for technical questions. Any question of a non-technical nature should be taken elsewhere, thanks. [02:51] ok [02:51] is this guy serious [02:51] How can i physically have ubuntu installed on 34 computers and have it run properly? [02:51] JoeyTheHakeroo, coders are world-wide.. and this is off-topic on this channel (it's for Ubuntu support only) [02:51] Have an office and we are done with W10 [02:52] But I don't want African Software or Indian stuff that collapse in weeks or so. We cannot afford that. [02:52] yo JoeyTheHakeroo take ur hatespeech out of this chat [02:52] not cool bro [02:52] !automate | JoeyTheHakeroo [02:52] JoeyTheHakeroo: Ways to automate installation of Ubuntu on multiple machines are described at https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/installation-guide/i386/apb.html - See also !cloning [02:52] Joey, what is up with your spirit tonight? You sound a bit too harsh [02:53] Hate? Not really we had so many issues with the Indian programmers it was hell. [02:53] JoeyTheHakeroo: And again, keep the non-technical questions and statements out of this channel. [02:53] ubottu we are trying to install (proper) 34 pc's with Ubuntu. But it ihas been hell. So we are now looking at why we can't do it. [02:53] JoeyTheHakeroo: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:54] JoeyTheHakeroo: Read that link, it'll show you how. [02:54] The OS loads then it fails to go on. Like none of the changes are made. We cannot retrieve data and we loose all of it over and over. [02:54] JoeyTheHakeroo: Read that link, it'll show you how. [02:55] I see.. well I dont think you will have one with me... I am simply trying to get some help from you in regards to my ubuntu laptop issues with package manager displaying errors with installation [02:55] Guest5210 your Ubuntu failing you as well. [02:56] JoeyTheHakeroo : so why u hate indians and africans so much bro. [02:56] tittimc: just drop it. [02:56] yeah. but cmon bro. that hatespeech was not called for man. [02:56] sorry [02:56] i get sensitive about this stuff [02:56] anyway [02:57] brb guys [02:57] I don't hate INDIANS sir we just need MADE IN USA stuff that works.

I know that is off topic but has any of you ever taken a trip to the carribean?

I was not making a statement about race , I simply asked if some of you have visited the Carribean? Good food, nice people, beautiful beaches, real exposure to nature [03:06] kick tittimc not appropriate behaviour [03:06] try & stay on topic please folks.. [03:16] irc never changes. [03:34] wow === Nicmavr is now known as Guest63012 === MyNickname is now known as Guest35188 [05:14] Hello again, I'd like to know if it's possible to modify the code of a kernel module (Wifi driver) for 4.13 to work in 4.15. [05:15] I get a couple of errors which are most probably due to the fact that this driver was not made for my current version [05:18] ANAND, possible yes. doable if you're very high skilled. I'd not want to try; you'd have find the bit in the 4.13 that works for you, work out why it was removed or isn't there in 4.15 & try to make it do what you want (& test to ensure you've not inserted new issues fixed by what you removed...) === r0Oter is now known as r00ter [05:32] Hey,I have installed Ubuntu 18.4 in offline pc.i cannot get internet connection.but I've to install gnome-tweak-tool ,vlc media player,and dosbox emulator all offline.please help [05:32] Please [05:34] Hello [05:35] varshitbhat, you can put the apps on the offline box from a separate usb or something maybe? [05:35] Please explain [05:36] I downloaded packages from pkgs.org [05:36] And how to install [05:37] not sure myself to be honest [05:37] Vlc media player is only 500kb [05:37] osp2: oh sorry [05:37] Others, please help me [05:38] varshitbhat, this might help: [05:38] https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/159094/how-to-install-a-deb-file-by-dpkg-i-or-by-apt [05:40] or even this [05:40] https://askubuntu.com/questions/40779/how-do-i-install-a-deb-file-via-the-command-line [05:40] I'm assuming you downloaded the .deb files from pkgs.org? varshitbhat [05:40] Yes [05:40] yeah then you should just need to follow those instructions [05:40] I also downloaded via Ubuntu packages [05:40] sudo dpkg -i DEB_PACKAGE [05:41] Oh, thanks [05:41] np [05:43] varshitbhat, where apt & apt-get will download dependencies (ie. needed to run), `dpkg -i` will error if they aren't already in your system, so include them in the same `dpkg -i` command, or install dep's first... === antop is now known as panto === panto is now known as anto_ [05:50] guiverc: Here are the actual errors. They look trivial to me - only the names of the methods have probably changed [05:50] https://gist.github.com/ClobberXD/e0cb3f510912c2e99116f5425a972be8 [05:52] ANAND, yes a few are -dev deps which should be easily fixed (without touching the source code) [05:53] Ah, good to know :) [05:53] Would you be able to help me resolve the issues? I'm not very familiar with the Linux kernel [05:54] or any kernel for that matter :) [05:54] ANAND, install them and you'll likely not need to patch anything. Compiling a driver isn't at all what I was thinking (I assumed you were after something different) [05:54] um.. install what, exactly? [05:55] for the first I saw - https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libelf-dev shows its available for all supported Ubuntu's ... fix those (ie. apt install) and you'll likely nothing left (others will disappear)) === antop is now known as panto [06:00] guiverc: So I'll have to install libelf-dev using apt and try compiling the driver again? === panto is now known as anto_ === anto_ is now known as antop === antop is now known as panto [06:02] ANAND, look at line 2 of what you posted for me - it provided a number of missing -dev libs; you need to install them all (then try recompiling/make..) - i only looked at first listed [06:02] Oh ok [06:04] I have a question: I'm running Ubuntu 18.04 and I have a network share that I connect to (fstab: cifs). Everything was working perfect till around a week ago - acceptable speeds. Since then I this speeds (140MB file) in TERMINAL: upload (to terminal) 30 MiB/s & download 90,8 MiB/s. But in NAUTILUS: Upload 4,1 MB/s & Download (most likely around 60 - 80 MB/s.) But it takes exactly 30 seconds where the download is stand [06:04] e left: 600h. even with a small image file (63 kB) it takes again exactly 30 seconds standing still till it actually starts copying... Anyone an idea, or the same problems? === panto is now known as antop [06:16] ANAND, just a fyi: those -dev (development) packages are only needed to compile/make - they won't be needed to 'use/run' the result (when done) [06:17] How do I use a bluetooth keyboard? [06:19] It worked with Fedora, so I wonder why not with Ubuntu [06:20] Well, it was a lossy connection with Ubuntu 16.04. [06:20] Now it does not detect at all. [06:20] guiverc: line 2 says to install either one of them [06:20] I've installed libelf-dev [06:20] But apt can't locate the other two [06:24] ANAND, i misread (actually only read part of line.. my bad sorry!) -dev is possibly called -devel in another non-debian distro... [06:25] l0l [06:25] Haha, no issues :) [06:25] once you've installed what you can, you can re-try make [06:26] I've installed libelf-dev, but I get the exact same error(s) when I retry make [06:30] I'm trying to connect a Remmina client (using VNC) to a tightvncserver. I can't seem to get the screen to resize when I increase the window width on remmina. [06:30] How do I get it to auto-resize? [06:36] Goop: be carefull with vnc, alot of security risk using it.. [06:36] ANAND, can you provide the link where you grabbed the source - I think i'm missing something, hoping for clues... :) [06:37] okay - what you said initially (https://github.com/evgeni/tp_smapi/issues/31) init_timer() interface removed... my first answer makes sense now :( [06:39] Was running 17.10.1 and used the upgrade script to move to 18.04, which upgraded php from 7.0/1 (can't remember now) to 7.2, which broke some of my php apps on my webserver. Is there some way that I can use the CLI to force Apache's PHP configurating back to 'out of the box' without breaking the whole LAMP server? [06:40] the patch is tiny; ~4 lines; I'd be tempted to just add to a file & try compiling... but I don't know enough to know consequences... (http://users.sec.t-labs.tu-berlin.de/~jan/0001-Adapt-HDAPS-driver-to-use-the-new-timer_setup-interf.patch) [06:45] ANAND, i'm not skilled enough to do anything but 'try-hack'; you need better skilled than me sorry [06:48] ah that's sad... :/ [06:48] Thank you for all the help though, guiverc :) [06:49] sorry I couldn't help more ANAND [06:49] sera_denoir: you can, but it's probably easier (and you'll feel more comfortable doing it manually). You can download the deb file here: https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/libapache2-mod-php7.2 that's got the stock php7.2.conf file [06:50] sera_denoir: You can open a deb file with an archive tool to open it like a tgz/zip/archive [06:51] Flannel: so i'm looking for a change in the php7.2.conf file as opposed to the php.ini file? [06:52] sera_denoir: php7.2.conf is apache's config file for php. If you're thinking it's a php-wide thing, then that'd be in https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/php7.2-common [06:52] sera_denoir: (you can see the files in each package by a link there, prior to downloading) [06:54] Flannel: Thanks ... i'll try poking around a bit more. I was focused on the ini files, but I did do a lot of changes in conf files for security, just it was back in december so i don't remember everything i did [06:55] sera_denoir: Also, sometimes people have directives in your site that'll affet things. So that's another place to look. (apache/sites-available) [06:58] sera_denoir: And, just in case you end up wanting to nuke everything, `apt-get install --reinstall [packages]` is how to put those files back. But you still need to know which package had that file. You can figure that out with `dpkg -S \path\to\arbitrary\file` [07:00] How would I go about rebuilding an image from a Ubuntu image? I'm using Google Cloud, and I hate the crap they put together for their Ubuntu OS. [07:01] Thanks Flannel ... I was lost on even where to look, so you gave me a lot to work with [07:27] morning all [07:29] EriC^^, Good morning [07:31] Flannel: I finally fixed it ... I had to go a bit crazy and do 'apt-get purge php7.1*' ... after that and an apache restart I think I'm back in business [07:37] I have a recent Ubuntu 18.04 desktop installation that suddenly will not bring up the GUI gdm3 anymore. Was working fine for 2 weeks. I think it has stopped using the driver. Any idea how to pinpoint the cause of the problem? [07:52] Can anyone advise how to pinpoint cause of not getting into GUI login screen at boot? [07:54] BillGHero, check you can login via terminal (ie. ctrl+alt+f4 or whatever tty you prefer), then `df -h` (check you have free space in /home ($USER) - gui login will fail if no space; and you'll end up in login loop if it doesn't have working space [07:55] BillGHero, have you looked at journalctl, or in /var/log to see if there are errors? [07:56] guiverc: Already did. Set up ssh server so I can cut/paste on another machine. PLenty of room on my root/home drive. [07:56] actually the login loop assumes gdm3 (or your dm) was working; if you have graphic issues I'm not equipped to help sorry [07:58] and why do you think it is a driver issue? Is that just a guess or did you see some message or something that indicates it? [07:58] and what happens if you run startx manually? [07:58] syb0rg: I have a consistent error in Xorg.0.log: https://pastebin.com/0ADkMaGL [07:59] "reverting to software rendering" yeah that does seem like it could be a driver issue [08:01] BillGHero, do you use an nvidia card with nouveau drivers? [08:01] If so, this could be relevant https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/TroubleShooting/#index1h3 [08:03] syb0rg: yes I have an nVidia card, I will read that article. Strange thing is, this is a clean install of 18.04 and was working fine for at least 2 weeks, even playing high-demand games like KSP and Rocket League. [08:03] yeah that is a bit odd, ubuntu rarely breaks out of the blue like that in my experience [08:03] on the other hand, 18.04 is still pretty new [08:04] btw, I linked you to the relevant section in that article, you probably don't need to read the whole thing. [08:05] syb0rg: I am trying to get the nVidia driver back to working again. I am not sure if troubleshooting nouveau will help me. It's a 770 card, and it is not fully supported by nouveau yet... [08:05] well I did ask if you were using nouveau or not =P [08:05] hi how can i know that i have installed a 64 bit ubuntu or a 32 bit ? uname -m says x86_64 [08:05] what is the output of lsmod | grep nvidia ? [08:06] lord734, that is your answer [08:06] the _64 part means 64 bit [08:06] whats that x86 ? [08:07] here ya go https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86 [08:07] cyb0rg: https://pastebin.com/t3rLQx5n [08:07] hey that's syb0rg with an s =P [08:07] ok so this OS is 64 bit ? [08:07] correct, lord734 [08:08] ok thanks [08:08] so it looks like you have the nvidia drivers loaded, including the drm module [08:08] have you tried purging and reinstalling the nvidia drivers? [08:09] syb0rg: Right? I thought that was weird to see given the situation. [08:09] syb0rg: Yes, I had a bit of a hard time too. There were some broken packages/depndencies that made it harder. Finally got it all off. [08:10] syb0rg: Tried both nvidia-driver-390 and 396 as well. [08:10] do you know what kernel paramaters you are using? if you are using nomodeset somehow that might be the issue [08:12] sysctl -a [08:12] oops that wasn't a terminal =P [08:15] BillGHero, what do you get from cat /proc/cmdline [08:16] syb0rg: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-4.15.0-23-generic root=/dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root ro recovery nomodeset [08:16] ahaha! [08:16] nomodeset [08:16] with 18.04 when I execute with sudo or su with other username a X Program, i get No protocol specfied, a symlink from .Xauthoritiy isnt working, whats to do? [08:16] that is probably the issue === lord734 is now known as system16 [08:17] syb0rg: Is that in GRUB ? [08:17] most likely BillGHero [08:20] namix, this might help https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/108784/running-gui-application-as-another-non-root-user [08:21] syb0rg: just looked up how to do that. There is no mention of nomodeset in my /etc/default/grub file [08:21] syb0rg: Could Ubuntu devs accidentally made it a default in recent patch? [08:22] that seems unlikely to me [08:22] syb0rg: thx [08:22] np namix [08:22] BillGHero, is there something like modeset=0 ? [08:23] syb0rg: https://pastebin.com/1QshRWiP [08:24] BillGHero, yeah doesn't look like the issue is there [08:25] BillGHero, check the files in /etc/modprobe.d [08:26] try cat /etc/modprobe.d/* | grep modeset [08:27] syborg: Only 1 line - options nvidia_drm modeset=1 [08:28] Huh, that's interesting [08:28] so the only explicit reference we have found so far to modesetting has it enabled [08:28] yet it is disabled in your kernel parameters [08:28] might as well try running sudo update-grub and restarting, though I doubt that will fix it [08:29] that might help if nomodeset was enabled in grub, then disabled but update-grub not run [08:30] there has to be somewhere else it can be set... [08:30] syb0rd: Right? But I updated grub and will restart it just in case that was it. [08:30] yeah it is unlikely but easy to try, might as well [08:35] and this is assuming nomodeset is even the issue... [08:35] Well BillGHero I am going to call it a night, hopefully you make progress on this [08:35] syb0rg: Goodnite. thanks for the help. [08:36] How to make clicking to address bar select in Firefox? [08:36] select all [08:37] can anyone tell me where ubuntu stores program files i need to find and edit an ini file that a program uses [08:39] I found solution to my problem: about:config and browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll to true [08:39] cornjulio: Which program are you looking to configure? [08:39] mame [08:41] cornjulio: have you tried checking for a .mame directory in your home folder? [08:42] how to check for hiddden files terminal hav forgotten [08:42] in terminal? ls -ah [08:43] nothing there under that name [08:44] scratch that [08:44] wrong computer lmao [08:51] cornjulio: did you find mame.ini? [08:58] Have a newly installed from fresh 18.04 machine that's now just filling the boot screen with ^@^@^@^@^@^@^ characters [08:58] Tried googling but not sure if google is ignoring that sequence or it just doesn't happen [08:59] cornjulio, a `apt-file show mame` tells me /etc/mame/mame.ini (& other files) - i'm not sure what you're after but is that it? [09:00] thats it-thanks for your help-juggling mame setup an my baby girl lols [09:01] i was on my laptop and mame is on the desktop both run 18.04 mate n i got mixed up [09:01] inflex, i don't know, but did you verify the download was okay? (md5sum etc) and 'try ubuntu' awhile to verify things looked okay (esp. write to usb-thumb-drive..) [09:02] hi [09:02] how do i install gnome in ubuntu?? [09:03] seven-eleven, what version of ubuntu are you running? [09:03] guiverc, DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 18.04 LTS" [09:04] ubuntu-desktop will install gnome & all apps used by 18.04 ubuntu [gnome] - are you running a flavor of ubuntu (xubuntu, kubuntu... as 18.04 has gnome as its default DE) [09:05] guiverc, kubuntu [09:05] i just install ubuntu-gnome-desktop but when i login i dont see gnome as option in SDDM [09:06] hi there,Can anyone help me with advanced bash tutorials [09:07] i don't know sddm (haven't used kubuntu in years sorry), but https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/ubuntu-gnome-desktop looks like it pulls in gnome-session & ubuntu-desktop to me.. i'd have expected that to work seven-eleven === McZuy is now known as lil_XAN [09:10] you could try making gdm3 your dm (dpkg-reconfigure) & try that; but i'm guessing here.. (using dpkg-reconfigure to put back sddm back to your default later) -- guess only [09:19] guiverc, does gdm3 support kde too? [09:19] i want to choose upon login whether to login to kde or gnome === grumblr is now known as grumble [09:28] guideline, gdm3 logs into gnome but doesnt show kde :\ === Jochen_wvdT is now known as Schlawiner [09:30] seven-eleven, (sorry away) i realize what you want to do; like i choose gnome/xfce/mate... but I don't know sddm, i'm hoping it'd do what you want, but didn't know.. a dpkg-reconfigure should let you return it to sddm - but I have no other ideas.. [09:32] you could ask again later, when hopefully there are people around how know better than i do... [09:33] ok cheers \o/ [09:36] who can edit wiki.ubuntu.com? I have suggestion to add webchat links to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [09:38] qwebirc20807, what do you want changed (it really should be done by an IRC team member, not just someone who can edit wikis) [09:38] links are in form of https://webchat.freenode.net/?randomnick=1&channels=%23 with random nick [09:43] hello [09:43] qwebirc20807, i won't -- i don't understand enough & thus won't touch it.. i suspect it should be someone in https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-irc (ubuntu irc members/team) [09:48] okay qwebirc20807 i followed link & now think its a useful idea.. were you thinking of an extra column (with links into the rooms?) or selected channels in link section?? === EriC^ is now known as EriC^^ [09:58] I created all links https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/2jjG2SbJQn/ [10:01] I don't know what kind of function current link column has. For instance I cannot open current links [10:05] qwebirc20807, current link column? most have channel (xdg-open to channel), description & contact person are what I see.. [10:06] Yes. But is xdg-open configured by default? [10:06] yep - works on my box too (I tested it) [10:07] Ok. Then I suggest web irc column [10:09] top of the table could be instructions which link to choose [10:10] Hi, does anyone know a good tutorial for containerization (Docker, LXC)? [10:19] qwebirc20807, support done, but untidy :( (need to hide long link) === ToddenP is now known as Alex4921 [10:21] qwebirc20807, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList/Support (a number of subpages make up complete list or main page) [10:21] Yes. Good job! I suggest add some explanation what web irc column is [10:22] hey guys, I have this very old macbook pro dual core, it's junk, but it's always nice to have an extra box. I've installed 16.04 on it, but it keeps overheating whenever any processing occurs. I've installed TLP and thermald to no avail. Anything else I could do to help resolve this? [10:23] alternatively just name it quick access [10:23] qwebirc20807, are you able to joined #ubuntu-discuss please [10:24] ok [10:27] eldask: anything using the cpu excessively? try "top" in a terminal, have you cleaned the fans btw? [10:29] EriC^^, well, not when I'm not doing any processing. Right now top of the list is htop at .7%. As far as the fans, it's worth noting that the machine doesn't overheat under osx, only under ubuntu. I would think it's a driver issue but sensors returns max rpm for the fan, I'm at a loss [10:29] Trying to figure out when trying to build gcc in Ubuntu, it keeps trying to test for size_t with sizeof ((size_t)) instead of sizeof (size_t) [10:29] the configure script specifies both [10:32] EriC^^, I'll try to see how I can open this abomination of a computer to clear out the heatsink/fans, just typing out the previous sentence, fan shouldn't be struggling to maintain temperature at idle. But that wouldn't explain why it doesn't overheat under osx [10:38] eldask: possibly some misconfiguration or acpi settings or something [10:40] eldask: under osx what's the actual temperature it's running at? [10:41] high 50's, hang on, screwdriver'ing this thing === root is now known as Guest77767 [10:49] hello === root_ is now known as Guest79401 === jstein_ is now known as jstein [11:00] hi! [11:08] EriC^^, well, there was quite a bit of dust in there. Running it after the cleanup and with the case opened seems to "solve" the problem lol [11:18] eldask: hmm, i wouldn't leave the case opened [11:18] perhaps it works not with it closed too? [11:19] EriC^^, maybe, but honestly, this thing is from like 2004, I'm just going to leave it in a corner and sandbox things on it until it dies [11:20] EriC^^, and thanks for the help! [11:20] eldask: ok, problem [11:20] *no problem [11:24] lol, it is now an es node [11:36] hi. i cant right click [11:37] Client: HexChat 2.14.1 • OS: Ubuntu "bionic" 18.04 • CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6500U CPU @ 2.50GHz (502MHz) • Memory: Physical: 7.5 GiB Total (6.4 GiB Free) Swap: 337.9 MiB Total (337.9 MiB Free) • Storage: 6.4 GB / 22.3 GB (15.9 GB Free) • VGA: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 520 @ Intel Corporation Skylake Host Bridge/DRAM Registers • Uptime: 52m 57s [11:37] btw ubuntu wont recognize my nvidia 940 m [11:37] i installed ubuntu on a usb drive.

[11:52] I need to expand my partition. I have a USD drive and Gparted installed. However there are confusing aspects to as to how to get GParted on a bootable USB [11:52] Plus, I see some people having issues ( 0 [11:52] down vote [11:52] favorite [11:52] I can't seem to get the latest Gparted to boot on my UEFI laptops) [11:52] hiyas all [11:53] Ooops.
