[00:26] Ok I need help setting up Ubuntu on my Dad's mining rig. We were previously using HiveOS (based on Ubuntu). But he wants to mine Nicehash. So I'm following the guide here: https://amp.reddit.com/r/NiceHash/comments/777ezc/running_nicehash_for_gpu_on_ubuntu/ [00:26] But most of the commands it says to use. Don't work. [00:27] thePiGrepper: [00:27] thePiGrepper: do you know any software similar to "toxic" [00:27] ? [00:28] similar as in 'any other tox client' or 'any other tux tui/ncurses client'? [00:29] mrxrobot: while this is not really an #ubuntu topic IMO, there are links to static and dynamic builds of "toxic" and other software at https://tox.chat/download.html [00:29] Namely the ones involving purging nvidia drivers and setting up the recommended drivers. I downloaded Cuda. But I don't think it'll work without the proper Nvidia drivers first. Also, I have 12 gpus on this thing. How will Ubuntu support that? [00:30] tomreyn: thank you [00:31] welcome [00:31] I am using Ubuntu 18.04 btw. Not HiveOS. I can see how that'd be confusing.

[03:46] Yeah what it's saying when I try to download the nvidia driver is, "Package 'nvidia-387' has no installation candidate."

=== Jochen_wvdT is now known as Schlawiner [05:23] one thing that feels like such a mismatch in desktop OS design is the strong separation into programs instead of context. For a user its more important what context they work in rather than what programs they use.

[08:45] Also, I'm getting /sbin/ldconfig.real: Warning: ignoring configuration file that cannot be opened: /etc/ld.so.conf.d/i386-linux-gnu_EGL.conf: No such file or directory [08:45] you could use -k 4.4.0-44-generic instead of --all [08:45] yea in your case there was no kernel attached to it [08:46] but when you have other version and only for specific kernels still build [08:46] It's added but the sources are not there # where do you look ? in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ folder? [08:46] MacroMan: You don't have to [08:46] oerheks, what do you mean? [08:47] after you have added the `ip route` all traffic to that IP will go through that interface/gateway [08:47] you stated it is added to the sources, but you cannot find it, where did you look? [08:47] oerheks, I built it manually from their website [08:47] The older version was installed somehow on my system before that [08:48] BlackDex: I don't think I asked my question well enough. When I run wget, I need to be able to choose which interface it goes over. Can I do that? [08:49] MacroMan: No you can't as far as i know. So the only way to do that is by using a static route via `ip route add` [08:49] A static route is setting the route for an IP range or host? [08:49] yes [08:49] Damn [08:50] what are the default xenial package repos? [08:50] hi [08:51] I need help unmounting a busy harddrive (external HD) [08:51] MacroMan: hmm [08:51] MacroMan: Try to see if --bind-address will work for you [08:51] lsof showed me many lines [08:51] but no programs / commands [08:51] what shall I do? [08:51] Rojola: mount, and then unmount [08:52] madsj, I can not umount [08:52] BlackDex: I did try that, but it failed. I'm think I have a problem with my gsm connection [08:52] madsj, I get the error "target is busy" [08:52] ah [08:53] then try the `ip route` suggestion ;) [08:53] If you have a terminal that is cd'ed into a directory, that's one source of that error [08:53] ppf, By default there will be a backup for your sources.list file on the same directory itself. [08:53] if that also doesn't work there is something with that connection indeed [08:53] else https://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ [08:53] or any window that is showing the content of anything under that drive. [08:55] oerheks: nice, thanks! === Nicmavr is now known as Guest55588 [08:59] People : hi ! [09:01] hi [09:01] #java [09:03] hi [09:04] I'm trying to find a way to do silent install on my ubuntu/xenial as one can do on redhat systems (e.g. silently install ldap-auth-client and configure it via command line arguments). However, every try I've made goes wrong. I can't imagine that ubuntu can't install and configure silently any package, provided it is fed with the right informations. Any clue for me to do as I want ? [09:04] I am on ubuntu 17.10. How can I turn off the notifications when a new printer is connected to the network? I work in an office where printers are turned on and off alot, so I am getting spammed with these notifications [09:05] Bashing-om are tou on?? [09:05] I've already seen that there is something to do with debconf-get-selections and debconf-set-selections, but while the first one succeeds (on another system on which the package I want is installed), the later fails with the values I get. [09:17] tomeaton17: there's a notifications section in the Settings. See if there's anything about network printers. [09:18] blackflow: Nothing specifically about printers, there is a network option [09:19] tomeaton17: this was first result in google. see if it helps: https://askubuntu.com/questions/918462/ubuntu-17-04-printer-added-notifications-under-gnome [09:22] gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.print-notifications active false # looks promising [09:22] install dconf-editor for this [09:22] !info dconf-editor [09:22] dconf-editor (source: dconf-editor): simple configuration storage system - graphical editor. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.28.0-1 (bionic), package size 392 kB, installed size 2122 kB [09:22] tomeaton17: ^^^ [09:24] okay given that a go, will see what happens :) [09:26] That didnt work :( do I need to reboot maybe [09:26] maybe you need to logout/login again, not sure [09:52] !work [09:52] Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information; for example, we might need errors, steps, relevant configuration files, Ubuntu version, and hardware information.

Whenever I switch ports, I have no network until I rerun "netplan apply" again. Why is this? [09:55] Hi, how can I find out if squid3 was build with ssl/tls support for my ubuntu 16.04. (I'm installing from default repo). [09:56] Tuor: squid(8) manpage explains command line options, specifically -v [10:00] thx. [10:09] how do i recreate .profile, .bash.. files in home dir? (deleted $HOME dir) [10:10] sruli, `cp` new ones from /etc/skel/ I guess [10:11] guiverc: thanks [10:13] How do I install the default desktop on 18.10? [10:13] !ubuntu+1 | pinkisntwell__ [10:13] pinkisntwell__: Cosmic Cuttlefish is the codename for Ubuntu 18.10 - Support only in #ubuntu+1 [10:14] Sorry, I meant 18.04 [10:14] try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop [10:14] !info ubuntu-gnome-desktop [10:14] ubuntu-gnome-desktop (source: ubuntu-gnome-meta): The Ubuntu desktop system (transitional package). In component universe, is optional. Version 0.83 (bionic), package size 2 kB, installed size 13 kB (Only available for amd64; armhf; arm64; i386; ppc64el) [10:14] yeah that's it [10:16] isn't it just ubuntu-desktop ? [10:17] ubuntu-gnome-desktop is transitional. use the ubuntu-desktop package directly. [10:21] i think ubuntu-gnome-desktop is correct [10:22] so, default desktop on ubuntu is a transitional package in the universe repo? nah. :) [10:24] how can I run a script when I connect a network cable? [10:26] Welp first try failed [10:26] i get handshake failed when attempting to restart the container [10:27] iomari, for what ubuntu version? [10:29] smallville7123: what container, what are you doing, which ubuntu? [10:33] OpenVZ [10:33] 14.0 [10:35] smallville7123: there were three questions there :) but, anyway, I don't think OpenVZ is officially supported on Ubuntu. [10:35] (at any rate, I wouldn't be able to help you with it anyway) [10:38]
