[00:04] When building gcc with apt-src, how do I get it to _not_ build it for targetting all the architectures? [00:04] I only want it for native [00:32] oerheks, So I got an answer back from my ISP. He says "You can't upgrade the kernel version.Since openVZ has stable kernel version." But it made me realize, I don't think you can run a VM that's more advanced than the host... and so I suspect the host OS is ancient. [00:33] oerheks, bottom line... I guess ya get what ya pay for. [00:33] s/ISP/webhost/ [00:33] oerheks, anyway, thanks :) [00:37] apb1963, they have their own system of protection and deployment, vagrant is not bad..

[00:41] A *.txz (also dependencies) compatible with Parted Magic 2013_06_15 would be spectacular. [00:43] ubuntu live iso gives gnome disks [00:45] That's separate from the normal ISO? [00:45] no [00:48] That's kinda huge [00:48] (I'll file that under plan B) [00:49] What's the normal process for a generic Linux user who doesn't already have gnome disks to install it? [00:50] this has nothing to do with ubuntu support [00:50] try ##linux ? [00:52] ok, thanks, even a pointer in the right direction is appreciated [00:52] How do I get to this ##linux? === Nicmavr is now known as Guest77337 [00:58] qwebirc56957, `sudo apt install gnome-disk-utility` will install it on any Ubuntu (if you're not running gnome & need it); but this room only supports Ubuntu (and official flavors) as already indicated [00:59] Don't have apt on Parted Magic 2013_06_15, is apt something I could install? [01:02] What does "Cannot send to channel: ##linux" mean? [01:04] qwebirc56957, that's a question for freenode (not Ubuntu); I was able to join without errors `/join ##linux` [01:05] i think that error also says something about registering on freenode [01:05] !register [01:05] For information on registering your IRC nick, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - For any further help, ask in #freenode.

I'm asking if setting the partition type to 'Logical' is the same as enabling LVM [04:50] slimetrap: yes, you could sudo apt install lubuntu-desktop for example, then switch from login, but if you like lubuntu its best you do a full reinstall [04:50] i made this site that's running on ubuntu uwu http://bubblebbs.cafe/ [04:51] lotuspsychje, tyvm [04:51] i really appreciate ur help [04:53] @lotuspsychje, I'm basically just asking: If I create a / partition, set its type to logical, and use as Ext4 journaling file system. Does that give me the exact same thing as if I just did a 'Erase disk and install Ubuntu' + 'Enable LVM' type installation.

Laptop is HP EliteBook 840 G4. Any ideas what might be the problem? [07:31] jarnos: you need to enable persistent journals, 'mkdir /var/log/journal', then you can see them with 'journalctl -b 1' etc [07:40] any tips when the live server install doesn't pick up your wireless card? [07:41] also looking at dmesg logs, looks like I am in infinite usb connect disconnect loop. tried different ports, devices, cables - all the same. I have to reboot machine to make usb device (like mouse, phone, flashdrive) work/be detected by the system [07:43] ljc: i don't think wireless is supported on the server install image [07:51] alright [08:10] Hi, i have installed gnome tweaks but that shell option is disabled. whats that ? is it related to desktop environments ?

[08:34] AnonimOS: armbian is not supported here, try their own support forums [08:48] ok) [09:30] Hi [09:30] I have a lot of those errors in dmesg but I can't find to which device ata2 refers to: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/KQxk7FsF9m/ How can I check ? [09:32] I tried https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/103566 but it does not list ata2 [09:33] nicofrand, your hard drive looks like it's going bad. you might want to run "sudo smartctl -a /dev/thedrivegoingbad" [09:34] DrManhattan actually I don't even know which device it might be [09:34] Ubuntu isn’t working on my laptop for some reason. It keeps saying failure [09:34] well, unless you've got a giant raid array [09:34] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/7fnFXsw8DC/ [09:35] so I really don't see what is ata2 [09:35] ATA2 is controller 2 on your motherboard [09:35] nicofrand, try sdb first [09:35] how many disks do you have in your system ? [09:35] purpleunicorn, the actual error is 'failure'? [09:35] ikonia, is right, it really depends on what disks are in there [09:36] but my bet would be sdb [09:36] No I’ll get the actual error now. I think the first word is failure and then theirs more [09:36] 3, 1 ssd (sda) + 2 in a USB controller (sdb + sdc) (RAID not enabled) [09:37] nicofrand: so just run smartctl against all 3 [09:37] I suspect it's your USB disks [09:37] see if any are failing [09:37] they are not failing the bus will just be resetting because you're using usb disks [09:38] and it sounds like the worst possible idea to even consider using them in raid [09:38] last time I tried smartctl would not work with this controller [09:38] You don't usually see frozen errors on a functional disk [09:38] would not work with which controller ? [09:38] bazhang: “fatal: could not read from the not medium! System halted.” [09:39] I've never even heard of trying usb disks in raid [09:39] *boot [09:40] nicofrand, what's the output? [09:40] I've heard of using floppies in usb floppy drives in raid [09:40] DrManhattan: because it's a bad idea [09:40] kind of "because you can" [09:40] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/frnHZGwycV/ DrManhattan [09:41] ikonia, yeah, I don't know anyone who would even attempt that. That's like trying to pull a uhaul trailer with two mopeds [09:41] DrManhattan no, my disks are in a USB Bridge, through USB [09:41] and this "bridge" (I hope I use the correct word) can do RAID, but I don't use this mode [09:42] purpleunicorn, some more details on what you are doing to see this error [09:42] nicofrand, is SMART enabled in your bios for the WD Red drive? [09:42] by USB bridge I mean this : https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61M6pZO5z1L._SL1500_.jpg [09:43] I’m using virtual box and I haven’t used Ubuntu in a couple weeks and before that it was fine. All I’m doing is starting up from there and clicking the start button. That’s all I’m doing. bazhang [09:44] purpleunicorn, vb as guest ubuntu on windows host? [09:44] nicofrand, your WD Red drive isn't outputting SMART info like it should. [09:44] I enabled all I could in the bios but as far as I can tell the system just does not like the usb bridge [09:44] SMART Status not supported: Incomplete response, ATA output registers missing [09:44] Yeah but on Mac not windows bazhang [09:45] so failure to read from media....it can't see the media it's trying to boot from [09:45] ?? [09:45] I don't really see any issue, I am just afraid by those errors and I can't even get to which device ata2 refers to [09:45] nicofrand, you may want to plug that WD red drive into the system directly and not in that bay just to see if it is properly functional [09:45] Well I have an account on Ubuntu if that’s what you’re asking [09:45] I can't [09:45] ikonia: why [09:45] purpleunicorn: why what / [09:46] DrManhattan I have to WD red drive, how do you know which one it is ? [09:46] Why can’t it read from the media? ikonia [09:46] purpleunicorn: can your ubuntu VM boot ? yes/no [09:47] Serial Number: WD-WMC1T0981737 [09:47] DrManhattan 2* sorry [09:47] nicofrand, Serial Number: WD-WMC1T0981737 [09:47] <-- this drive [09:47] but how did you find out ? [09:47] damn. Just, damn. [09:47] No, it tries to but it says the error I said to you before [09:47] nicofrand, it's on the label [09:48] purpleunicorn: ok - so the problem is the virtual machine cannot see the media it is trying to boot from [09:48] purpleunicorn: in the host, look at that is the media that VM is trying to boot from [09:48] DrManhattan I don't get it. The label does not say it fails. Why WD-WMC1T0981737 and not WD-WMC4M2961323 ? [09:48] purpleunicorn: then verify it's there/permissions/corruption/whatever [09:48] purpleunicorn, you are using a mac, and within that booting a vbox with ubuntu, and it fails; is that about right [09:49] Yes bazhang [09:49] purpleunicorn, why not create a new VM and see what happens [09:49] nicofrand, you have to test the drive with the serial number I posted in a known good configuration to see if the drive is malfunctioning or the array is [09:49] purpleunicorn: ok, so walk through what I've just suggested [09:49] DrManhattan but why this disk and not the other one ? [09:49] Idk what you’re asking me to do. How do I get to its host [09:50] purpleunicorn: your host is the mac [09:50] purpleunicorn, the host OS is MAC [09:50] bazhang: if I create a new vm don’t I have download Ubuntu again [09:50] nicofrand, because that's the disk that is having problems reporting SMART info [09:50] purpleunicorn, so within that, create a new vbox instance [09:51] purpleunicorn: it sounds like you want the guys in #macosx channel to explain to you how to use macos and virtual box on mac os [09:51] Ok [09:51] purpleunicorn, do you still have the original ubuntu iso? [09:51] purpleunicorn: if you don't know how to use the host/software on the host, that's not ubuntu's problem [09:52] DrManhattan if that is the failing disk and I removed the disk from the controller, I should not see any error anymore, right ? [09:52] Yes I do bazhang [09:52] I know how to use it but I don’t get what I’m supposed to be checking out ikonia [09:53] purpleunicorn: you don't know how to use it [09:53] purpleunicorn: as you didn't even know what the host was [09:53] I have a question regarding nmap script arguments How do I check what arguments are available for an nmap script? I tried using nmap --script-help but it does not show anything, its just a synopsis of the script. [09:53] nicofrand, with the exception of errors reported when the disk itself is pulled out, yes [09:53] purpleunicorn: I suggest you work with the guys in #macosx to help you understand how the host works and how vbox on mac works [09:53] DrManhattan same thing if I just unplug the USB bridge? [09:54] DrManhattan because I still have those errors in dmesg, even after unplugging it [09:54] I just created another vm for Ubuntu I hope it works [09:55] that won't help you debug the broken VM [09:55] nicofrand, the only drives outside of that array is your system SSD, right? [09:55] How is it broken if the new one is working? ikonia [09:55] yes DrManhattan. /dev/sda [09:56] purpleunicorn: because it can't read the disk it needs to boot [09:56] as far as I can tell my system tries to reach a ghost device :D [09:56] nicofrand, well, sda isn't showing any errors, and sdb is acting strangely. My bet would be your problem is the WD red drive I mentioned. [09:56] I can't find what is the link between any of my device and ata2 [09:57] nicofrand: now you have unplugged the usb controller, how many disks are you your system [09:57] DrManhattan but once I unplug the USB bridge with the two WD drives in it, I still have the same errors in dmesg [09:57] ikonia one. https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/qZp8GVvp9P/ [09:57] nicofrand: ok, so now you know what ATA2 is [09:57] it's that disk [09:58] my system seems to work fine though? I mean this is the disk where everything is installed [09:58] and smartctl works on this one [10:00] wouldn't it be possible that I have an issue in my installation and ubuntu tries to reach a device that does not exist but that would be listed somewhere (fstab or something like that) ? [10:01] nicofrand: no [10:01] hi there. i have a problem with my LUKS setup in 18.04. my / is encrypted, i type the passphrase at boot time. i also have three other luks volumes in the crypttab, they are supposed to be opened automatically by keyfiles (that live in /root on the encrypted / fs and are readable by root). manual open by keyfile works fine, but each time i boot, i am asked for all the passphrases of all four volumes. the exact same setup worked fine in 16.04. did something [10:01] LUKS-related change since then? [10:02] ikonia but smartctl does not see any issue… Could that be a driver issue? [10:02] nicofrand: no [10:06] My bet is there's an ata controller inside of that array and that's what's reporting as ata2..* [10:06] My bet is there's an ata controller inside of that array and that's what's reporting as ata2++ [10:07] The controller is unplugged [10:07] unless that SSD is plugged into an odd port and is frozen [10:07] What would "frozen" mean ? I can use my computer alright.. [10:08] And both /, /home etc are on this SSD [10:58] ubuntu is better than debian ? [11:00] hah! [11:00] debian is good if you know how to use it. [11:00] ubuntu is also good. [11:00] atareis: that's not a support question. Go to #ubuntu-offtopic for those pointless discussions [11:16] DrManhattan what does "frozen" really mean? It's where all my partitions (/, /home, etc.) are installed, so it seems to work? [11:17] nicofrand, with all due respect, I've told you what needs to be done. I don't believe it is your system drive that is the issue, but the WD Red drive that wasn't giving you SMART info [11:19] DrManhattan I unplugged the USB controller where both WD red drives are and I still have the error [11:19] but sorry if I abused of your time [11:28] nicofrand, it's all good. Now take the WD Red drive in question, connect it to a proper SATA port, give it power, and see if the disk is good to go [11:34] I can't, I don't have any "proper SATA port". But again, I unplugged both sdb & sdc and still have the issue so I fail to see why it would come from one of those 2 disks [11:35] Ok. === Nicmavr is now known as Guest98487 [11:35] there must be a way to map a "ata2" to some device/disk [11:35] So either your ssd is plugged into a different port than your first available one [11:35] or you aren't reading the output properly [11:36] maybe check the timestamps in dmesg? [11:37] dmesg -H does give a recent timestamp [11:37] hello, how can I backup my chroot file? i use : sudo fakeroot tar -cpzvf /home/beaver/Bureau/bot42.tar.gz /var/cache/LocoBot/ (for creation) and fakeroot tar xvfp ../bot42.tar.gz (for extraction), but when i use my backup_chroot i have this with sudo -S (in my schroot : sudo: /usr/bin/sudo must be owned by uid 0 and have the setuid bit set [11:37] ) [11:38] my chroot folder* (sorry) [11:40] "lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 juin 17 11:32 /sys/block/sda -> ../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/ata1/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0/block/sda" my SSD seems to be on ata1, not ata2 [11:42] so, what is the best procedure for backing up a debootstrap? [11:43] that i generated with sudo debootstrap --variant=buildd --arch=amd64 xenial /var/cache/LocoBot http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ [11:44] if i want to backup /var/cache/LocoBot, how do i do ? === Mead is now known as mead [12:09] hello [12:09] everyone === ata is now known as Guest520 [12:10] ? === sebastian is now known as Guest94925 === CChaplin1 is now known as CChaplin [12:46] hey [12:46] lol [12:47] y'all dont talk lol [12:48] jelouuu [12:48] ok bye lol [12:49] ok ubuntu === SimonNL is now known as SimonNL_Afk [13:02] hey bne === captain_fixerpc1 is now known as CaptainFixerpc14 [13:29] hello [13:30] world! [13:30] das rite! [13:30] hello [13:30] is the session going to start now? [13:33] hi , sorry for english , i try to reinstall xubuntu 18.04 for some problem but when install grub the installation crash. [13:34] debnath: session? [13:38] My Samsung ML 2850 printer does not work. How can I investigate what is wrong? [13:40] pippuccio76, this may help you to use your install media to re-do the grub-install https://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-repair-restore-reinstall-grub-2-with-a-ubuntu-live-cd [13:41] qwebirc37693: you could check if the CUPS server says anything. Enter `127.0.0.1:631` in your browser. [13:42] adrian_1908: then what? [13:42] qwebirc37693: sorry no idea, I never had printer issues. [13:43] how I know my printer have correct drivers installed? [13:43] qwebirc37693: the cups page at that localhost ip:port has facilities to test the driver [13:43] qwebirc37693: is it listed in CUPS under printers? [13:44] yes my printer is listed [13:44] qwebirc37693: also, for that samsung thing I think you need the splix driver. [13:48] printing a test page from CUPS didn't work. printer responded but only white paper came out [13:50] qwebirc37693: have you done a websearch about your printer model and linux drivers? Maybe you need to install third party drivers like blackflow suggested. [13:52] I found uld_V1.00.39_01.17.tar.gz but don't know what to do with that [13:53] qwebirc37693: got a link? i imagine it comes with some instructions. [13:54] https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/samsung-ml-2850-laser-printer-series/19134798 [13:54] qwebirc37693: ubuntu has a package [13:54] !info printer-driver-splix [13:54] printer-driver-splix (source: splix): Driver for Samsung and Xerox SPL2 and SPLc laser printers. In component main, is optional. Version 2.0.0+svn315-6fakesync1 (bionic), package size 40 kB, installed size 175 kB [13:54] !info splix [13:54] Package splix does not exist in bionic [13:54] yeah, "splix" is for xenial and trusty === naman_ is now known as naman712 [13:56] How I know what drivers I have? [14:00] qwebirc37693: btw I guess I was wrong, that particular samsung is apparently not covered by splix. See this for more info and what to install: http://www.openprinting.org/printer/Samsung/Samsung-ML-2850 [14:01] Hi, I'm stuck with a kernel upgrade because the evdi kernel module cannot be found. This happened after I upgraded to 18.04. [14:01] I can't upgrade my system and dpkg -configure -a hangs. Also attempting to install evdi from DisplayLink's website also hangs. === SimonNL_Afk is now known as SimonNL [14:11] I can't even ctrl+c [14:13] Howdy folks [14:13] hey there [14:15] I looked more specifically that my printer is ML-2850D. so what to do? openprinting page: http://www.openprinting.org/printer/Samsung/Samsung-ML-2850D [14:17] qwebirc37693: I would recommend you try the uld_V1.00... archive you linked me to. Extract it to /tmp and then try `sudo uld/install.sh` [14:18] ? [14:18] hello? [14:18] minjieqingxing: what's up? [14:18] anyone here? [14:18] wow?amazing! [14:19] qwebirc37693: well, see that "directly download PPD" link? And under it, generic instructions for CUPS. [14:19] http://www.openprinting.org/printer/Samsung/Samsung-ML-2850D if ^^ doesn't work you could download the deb file and read the instructions provided there [14:19] qwebirc37693: ^ [14:20] i just wonder whether there is any people or not [14:20] minjieqingxing: mostly idling, but a few are active. [14:20] emm..such as ..you? [14:22] do you have a question? This a support channel, #ubuntu-offtopic for chitchat. [14:22] actually I'm using this app the first time [14:24] running this HexChat at Ubuntu on virtual machine [14:28] how to extract uld_V1.00.39_01.17.tar.gz to /tmp? [14:29] check the nicklist minjieqingxing [14:30] is it anything wrong with my nickname? [14:31] <_nedR> hello, i am upgrading to ubuntu 18.04, on laptop with no battery, i would like hibernation feature.. how much should swap partition size be (i am assuming only swap partition can be used)? [14:31] _nedR, Usually 10%-20% of memory is good enough [14:31] Unless you have very little memory [14:32] Then you can go to 50% [14:32] and make sure swappiness is set to 10 or so [14:33] _nedR: to hibernate you need a partition as large as your RAM. [14:33] don't you just need a swap file? [14:34] I thought the idea of swap partitions dates back to spinny drives and performance [14:35] so provided it's an SSD, just the swap file without dedicated partition should work fine right? [14:35] spaw files are a relatively novel things in Linux. [14:35] wow typing :p [14:35] we're talking 18.04 though and modern kernel [14:36] yeah, so "swap partitions" don't have much to do with "spinny drives and performance" [14:36] on that topic, I notice a lot of parittion guides are somewhat outdated now and suggest too-small / partitions [14:36] yeah fair enough [14:36] in my personal experience, if you run a bloated desktop like gnome or kde, at least 1-2 GB of swap is nice [14:36] so in 2018, with Ubuntu 18.04 - does a laptop really need a dedicated /swap ? [14:36] ah yeah gnome [14:37] gnome + some chromium|firefox activity will quickly eat up 4-8G of RAM [14:37] it's incredible how much the DE adds on top, not just on first load; but after spawning new windows and tabs. [14:37] and having higher swappiness is in fact not bad at all. for all that bloatware, most of the pages are unused and can be swapped out, freeing ram. [14:37] I struggle to hit my 16GB on i3wm, but Unity or Gnome... easy [14:38] I have 8GB on this 13,1 MBP [14:38] the swap gets a workout regularly, but seems okay if I singletask or don't get carried away [14:38] (I don't run VMs) [14:38] I'm on i3wm now (but gentoo, not ubuntu). with FF open and a dozen or so tabs in it, few terminals, used memory is 1.3G out of 8 [14:38] it's so good [14:39] indeed. fresh bionic installation and FF just opened to default tab? 3-4 GB used. [14:39] ohyeahnothanks :) [14:40]
