[00:07] <ercee> hey
[00:08] <nicolas> Hello
[00:15] <noobboob_> can someone help me get permissions for a folder on an external drive please
[00:18] <sonicwind> noobboob_, is the drive ntfs?
[00:19] <noobboob_> no it's not that's why i had to install linux it seems to be a backup of a mac machine so it has a small efi partition and then a big partition that didn't seem to have any format (but i think that's my misunderstanding)
[00:21] <noobboob_> it is an efi system partition in fat 32 and then a large hfs+ parition and then some unallocated space
[00:21] <sonicwind> ok... not sure what to tell you then. Sorry
[00:21] <noobboob_> it's only specific folders such as documents and desktop that don't seem to allow me access
[00:21] <sonicwind> what are the permissions on those folders?
[00:22] <noobboob_> it says owner only
[00:22] <noobboob_> i've tried to change them in the properties tab but it doesn't let me
[00:27] <RoadRunner> when cheese records video, does it record sound as well or only video with no sound?
[00:37] <nacc> RoadRunner: i assume that's configurable
[00:38] <sonicwind> RoadRunner, I not familiar with Cheese but a quick Google search shows it should be able to record both.
[00:39] <sonicwind> this is an old thread but has some suggestions - https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1148126
[00:54] <RoadRunner> sonicwind: thanks for the thread, it was old but it made me retrace my steps; my problem was that in pulse audio the default input device is not clearly marked
[00:55] <RoadRunner> ok then, I used cheese to confirm that my cam is working fine which it is. Now I can say that I am having problems with video calls in pidgin...
[00:57] <RoadRunner> when placing a call from under xubuntu 16.04 just get this on the screen and nothing goes any further https://imgur.com/a/53m8JYH
[01:04] <urgodfather> hello room, how hard is it to change java from openJDK to oracle
[01:04] <urgodfather> ?
[01:04] <urgodfather> this is on 14.04 running unifi controller
[01:14] <wreo> why do you want to?
[01:16] <urgodfather> working on this stupid server... running 14.04 and openjdk 7 and i am trying to upgrade to 5.7 which requires java 8, but i cant get 5.7 to install until i go to 16.04 with also trys to do upgrade at same time
[01:17] <urgodfather> to make things worse... now everything is working but service says its not running
[01:17] <urgodfather> stumped
[01:18] <wreo> you can't upgrade to 16.04?
[01:18] <urgodfather> if i do the do-release-upgrade it does unifi too but then nothing works
[01:19] <urgodfather> probably b/c of the java upgrade
[01:21] <wreo> does this help at all? https://askubuntu.com/questions/508546/howto-upgrade-java-on-ubuntu-14-04-lts#508554
[01:23] <urgodfather> saw that but thats oracle
[01:24] <urgodfather> i would have to convert from openjdk to oracle first then do that upgrade
[01:25] <wreo> http://openjdk.java.net/install/
[01:26] <joseph> seeking help with ubuntu
[01:26] <urgodfather> joseph help with what?
[01:27] <urgodfather> wreo unable to locate, probably b/c im on 14.04
[01:28] <joseph> i downloaded ununtu christian addition and am having problem.  for some reason it sisnt install to the hard drive and wont boot unless i have the usb in.  i want to download ubunt 18 and the parental guard blocked it.... i removed parental gurard and now i get error 102 when i try to go to any site
[01:28] <joseph> plus ubuntu is not recognizing my phone
[01:29] <joseph> well it recognizes it but not for a storage
[01:31] <wreo> urgodfather, i'm not really sure then. on that page you might be able to find out how to manually install it
[01:31] <urgodfather> https://askubuntu.com/questions/464755/how-to-install-openjdk-8-on-14-04-lts
[01:31] <urgodfather> wreo
[01:32] <joseph> any suggestions?
[01:43] <wreo> urgodfather, not too sure, hopefully someone else is here that knows what to do
[01:47] <urgodfather> wreo how can i identify my monodb version?
[02:02] <Tin_man> urgodfather, is that monodb? or Mongodb?
[02:02] <urgodfather> mongo
[02:02] <urgodfather> pretty sure
[02:03] <Tin_man> try : mongod --version
[02:03] <urgodfather> so its 2.4
[02:04] <urgodfather> what would be the symtoms of the db gettin jacked up
[02:04] <Tin_man> don't know I've never used it, just happened to be reading on it the other day.
[02:13] <steph_> fresh installed ubuntu mate 16.04 no wifi shown only ethernet what should i do?
[02:14] <designbybeck> It looks like I only have 1GB of swap on 18.04. And from System Monitor it seems my 8GB of RAM and Swap are pegged out. Would upping my Swap help? If so can I do it while I'm in this OS or do I need to boot from a Live Boot drive first and change it then?
[02:17] <boblamont> I seem to have messed up my desktop settings by running out of space... using the command line, I freed up space, but it didn't fix it. I can log in as a guest and the desktop works, but my account just has a blank desktop, no panels (Lubuntu)
[02:18] <urgodfather> designbybeck why not just upgrade the ram
[02:18] <designbybeck> this is an ASUS Ultrabook. not sure I can upgrade the ram in it
[02:18] <designbybeck> urgodfather, ^
[02:18] <urgodfather> go to crucial
[02:18] <urgodfather> look and see
[02:19] <designbybeck> urgodfather, what is crucial
[02:19] <urgodfather> crucial.com
[02:19] <designbybeck> oh gotcha, I see now
[02:19] <urgodfather> they have a massive seach tool that will tell you if your computer can be upgraded
[02:19] <urgodfather> you have to know the model and all that stuff
[02:20] <designbybeck> ok thanks urgodfather I'll check it out
[02:21] <boblamont> I looked at xsession-errors, didn't see anything there, but did see a reference to the run log, saw a bit more there, but mostly it just said lxle panel and pcmanfm were crashing with a 139 error
[02:22] <designbybeck> urgodfather, looks like I could get some ram for it, but at this point, it might be better to try to get my main system up and running, or just get a newer laptop more geared for video/3d/photo editing I guess
[02:23] <urgodfather> designbybeck if you are doing editing then you should really do off of a desktop or a gamers laptop like a RoG or Alienware
[02:25] <urgodfather> get you a cheap 2009 mac pro and upgrade the bajeebeez out of it
[02:25] <designbybeck> urgodfather, any take on the XOTIPPC's? http://www.xoticpc.com/sager-np6853-clevo-n850ek1.html
[02:25] <urgodfather> clevo's are decent
[02:25] <urgodfather> highy customizable
[02:36] <unnown> I am getting a problem when printing in ubuntu 18.04. the system is giving printing completed dialogue but i cannot get a print from my printer and the printer i use is canon lbp 2900 b
[02:37] <unnown> may i know the solution to this problem
[02:39] <unnown> can any one help me
[02:43] <boblamont> unknown: are any lights on the printer doing anything?
[02:44] <krytarik> (Already gone.)
[02:44] <boblamont> ah well
[02:48] <RoadRunner> problems with placing video calls from pidgin; is some special configuring required?
[03:06] <Randolf> When I use "service start openvpn" it doesn't log anything and basically doesn't start.  But if I start OpenVPN manually with the command "openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/server.conf" then it starts and sets up a tun0 interface, and everything seems fine.  How can I get it to start as a regular
[03:06] <Randolf> service?  Thanks.
[03:10] <sonicwind> what Ubuntu do you have?
[03:10] <ZaZaQR> 18.04 LTS
[03:10] <sonicwind> service has been replaced by systemctl since systemd
[03:10] <sonicwind> do sudo systemctl enable openvpn and sudo systemctl start openvpn
[03:11] <Randolf> I'm using Ubuntu Linux 18.04 LTS.
[03:11] <Randolf> Okay, I'll try that.
[03:12] <sonicwind> oh you may need openvpn.service, not sure
[03:12] <sonicwind> instead of just openvpn
[03:12] <meu> hey can anyone help me with configuring colors for bash on ubuntu? I have everything set up and my .dircolors file runs, but the colors for my file extensions do not show up. They simply take the color from the EXEC color scheme.
[03:14] <sonicwind> Randolf, you can also check the status of the service with systemctl status openvpn
[03:14] <Randolf> sonicwind:  Okay, using "systemctl enable openvpn" and "systemctl start openvpn" got everything working.  Thank you.
[03:14] <Randolf> Yes, I figured that one out.  :)
[03:14] <sonicwind> no prob, feels good to give back for once
[03:14] <Randolf> I appreciate it.
[03:15] <Randolf> I've been trying to get this working for hours.
[03:15] <sonicwind> lol
[03:15] <sonicwind> been there
[03:15] <Randolf> When did things switch from using "service" to "systemctl"?
[03:15]  * Randolf laughs
[03:15] <sonicwind> 16.04 maybe?
[03:15] <Randolf> Hmm.  When I learned 16.04 I was told to use the "service" command, which seemed to work.
[03:15] <Randolf> So many different ways to do things.
[03:15] <sonicwind> systemd is the new thing
[03:16] <sonicwind> do some reading up on it
[03:18] <sonicwind> I know systemctl works in my 16.04
[03:19] <sonicwind> great reads - https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-systemctl-to-manage-systemd-services-and-units     and    https://www.dynacont.net/documentation/linux/Useful_SystemD_commands/
[03:27] <Randolf> Thanks.
[03:27] <Randolf> I will read up on them.
[03:28] <Randolf> Digital Ocean sucks.  There's no telephone number for them, and their technical support give boiler-plate answers that don't work half the time.
[03:28] <sonicwind> the 2nd link has a great comparison chart service/systemd
[03:28] <Randolf> That's where I'll start.
[03:28] <sonicwind> their website is good for articles such as this
[03:53] <Randolf> Thanks sonicwind, that's a great web site.  It's very helpful.
[03:54] <sonicwind> cool
[03:54] <Randolf> I find that "systemctl" is easier to type than "service."
[03:54] <sonicwind> there's a lot to systemd besides just systemctl
[03:54] <Randolf> Yeah, the runlevel stuff looks very useful.
[03:56] <sonicwind> rsyslog is being moved aside for journalctl... systemd's logging
[03:57] <Randolf> My background is in NetBSD.  I find that the "systemctl status ..." command is a lot more informative than the "/etc/rc.d/... status" command.
[03:57] <sonicwind> great read about using journalctl - https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-journalctl-to-view-and-manipulate-systemd-logs
[03:57] <sonicwind> best thing about journalctl is that it allows you to filter the logs in many different ways
[03:57] <sonicwind> it actually makes the logs useful IMO
[03:57] <Randolf> I noticed that in the man pages for it.
[03:58] <Randolf> Yeah.
[03:58] <sonicwind> and I think journalctl logs are persistent starting in 18.04
[04:00] <Randolf> I like that I can use a command like this and it's not case-sensitive:  journalctl -f -u openvpn
[04:01] <sonicwind> yeah
[04:02] <sonicwind> I know a lot of folks don't like systemd but I really like the journalctl part of it
[04:02] <Randolf> It's actually easier than grep'ing the /var/log/messages file.
[04:02] <sonicwind> yep
[04:02] <Bashing-om> sonicwind: Randolf : One came enable persistence: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-journalctl-to-view-and-manipulate-systemd-logs .
[04:02] <Randolf> Well, I'm new to it.  I've encountered a lot of folks who say that it's evil, but it's an integral part of Ubuntu Linux it seems.
[04:03] <sonicwind> I already gave that link Bashing-om
[04:03] <sonicwind> my understanding is that its already persistent in 18.04
[04:03] <sonicwind> I'm on 16.04 still
[04:03] <Randolf> I have a few servers on 16.04.
[04:03] <Randolf> The vast majority of my servers run NetBSD.
[04:03] <Bashing-om> sonicwind: :) .. it has the directions to enable persistenece .
[04:03] <Randolf> I'm finding that Ubuntu behaves a lot better under vmware.
[04:04] <sonicwind> to make it persistent in 16.04 you have to create a /var/log/journald as I recall
[04:04] <Randolf> Ha ha!  I just realized that "-f -u" is super easy to remember if swear words make you laugh.
[04:05] <sonicwind> hahaha
[04:05] <Randolf> It fits into the nomenclature that brought us the Packet INternet Groper (ping) and finger.  ;)
[04:06] <sonicwind> lol
[04:06] <Randolf> I should create a useful tool and call it vulva.
[04:06] <sonicwind> probably same guy who named fsck lol
[04:06] <Randolf> Maybe it will become popujlar.
[04:06] <Randolf> Heheh.
[04:06] <Randolf> Yeah, I always wondered about that.
[04:06] <sonicwind> seriously
[04:06] <Randolf> Yeah.
[04:24] <sa_> What is the name of ALSA Library package in ubunutu?
[04:36] <guiverc> sa_, i'm not sure what you want, but try looking with https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=alsa

[05:19] <sonu_nk> hm guiverc so i should not install that tool ?
[05:19] <sonu_nk> i am using ubuntu 18 lts
[05:20] <sonu_nk> 18.04 ubuntu lts
[05:21] <guiverc> sonu_nk, it's your choice.. it looks like a 14.04 (old!) package, so I'd try looking for something more modern (or with better support) for you needs if possible..  your choice (note: I only [quickly!] glanced at your paste)
[05:22] <guiverc> s/for you needs/for your needs/
[05:23] <sonu_nk> now my ubuntu showing red sign on top letf bar.. is this because package is missing dependencies ?
[05:23] <sonu_nk> *top right bar
[05:25] <guiverc> sonu_nk, sorry i'm not a big gnome user, so not sure what you're referring to..

[08:43] <IntelCore> hi :)
[08:44] <spliffy> Hello. I upgraded my 16.04 LTS to 18.04 LTS, but gdm is still running gdm-wayland-session. Any idea what i can do? I put EnableWayland=False in the [daemon] section in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf and restarted, but it didn't change anything.
[08:44] <spliffy> On another 18.04 LTS that was also upgraded from 16.04, i don't have this problem.
[08:47] <IntelCore> sent url spliffy
[08:49] <IntelCore> did you uncomment the line to the gdm conf?
[08:52] <IntelCore> log-on - use small cog wheel to choose. find an Ubuntu on Xorg option which will start an Xorg session instead of a Wayland session
[08:53] <IntelCore> oops spliffy
[08:54] <IntelCore> * I cant wait to July for point release. I want to install 18.04.  now.  So, I guess I can, right?
[08:59] <pandorak> host irc.overthewire.org
[09:00] <IntelCore> My ubuntu said it failed to mount something. lool, for two weeks I looked at systemd.. and other things. Finally found my cdrom drive in 'disks.' and set the correct mount for it
[09:17] <mzaza> !paste

[09:50] <ppf> mzaza: df -h
[09:53] <geirha> ppf: that's included in the first paste from mzaza
[09:53] <ppf> right
[09:56] <mzaza> geirha: I didn't. Actually after a deployment by envoyer this problem happened.
[09:59] <qwebirc66679> Hi all... Is there any network experts online?
[10:01] <qwebirc66679> I'm trying to setup a network firewall with 2 network cards... but when I try the settings that I have found online... The local networkcared dissapers.. and the other one it says that it is connected.. but there is no internet connection
[10:03] <ppf> qwebirc66679: what settings did you find online
[10:05] <qwebirc66679> found this site https://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-2363427.html
[10:05] <qwebirc66679> tried to put in my inputs... The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback   auto eno1      # internet allow-hotplug eno1 iface eno1 inet static address 10.224.74.161 netmask 255.255.255.192 network 10.224.74.128/26 gateway 10.224.74.129   auto enp2s0f1  # lan allow-hotplug enp2s0f1 iface enp2s0f1 inet static address 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.128/25 network 192.168.1.0/25 broadcast 192.168.1.127 gateway 192
[10:05] <ppf> !paste | qwebirc66679
[10:07] <qwebirc66679> @ppf dont understand?
[10:07] <ppf> which part
[10:08] <qwebirc66679> when I restart ubuntu... enp2s0f1 does not exist in my network manager in GUI. and eno1 does not have internet connection...
[10:08] <qwebirc66679> if I delete auto enp2s0f1  # lan allow-hotplug enp2s0f1 iface enp2s0f1 inet static address 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.128/25 network 192.168.1.0/25 broadcast 192.168.1.127 gateway 192.168.1.2
[10:09] <qwebirc66679> and restart ubuntu.. then The network card apperes... but cannot connect to any thing... and the same with the internet eno1...
[10:10] <qwebirc66679> if I delete the whole command auto eno1      # internet allow-hotplug eno1 iface eno1 inet static address 10.224.74.161 netmask 255.255.255.192 network 10.224.74.128/26 gateway 10.224.74.129   auto enp2s0f1  # lan allow-hotplug enp2s0f1 iface enp2s0f1 inet static address 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.128/25 network 192.168.1.0/25 broadcast 192.168.1.127 gateway 192.168.1.2
[10:10] <qwebirc66679> then there is internet again
[10:10] <geirha> mzaza: then this envoyer thing probably deleted some huge files, but some process still had them opened, so they'll use up that space until those processes die or otherwise close those files
[10:10] <draget> From a certain subnet, I cannot connect to port 22 (SSH) to a somewhat-freshly installed Ubuntu 18.04. From different subnets I can connect (routed corretly), my sshd_config does not filter by any IP and iptables -S shows ALL Accept without any rules (just like iptables -L shows). Where the hell could a setting be hidden to block network packages from a certain subnet?
[10:11] <qwebirc66679> it is a school project.. We just got the network running.. and then the ubuntu should be a firewall and dmz
[10:11] <ppf> qwebirc66679: paste please. noone's gonna read it if you paste things to the channel
[10:12] <qwebirc66679> sorry.. new at this....
[10:18] <mzaza> geirha: OK, I will try restart each service and see what is causing problems.
[10:18] <ppf> mzaza: can you just restart the machine?
[10:19] <cxc99> with apt-get upgrade, it says packages held back...is there a way to override that?
[10:19] <mzaza> ppf: OK, but will I know then what caused the problem?
[10:19] <ppf> cxc99: apt full-upgrade
[10:19] <ppf> mzaza: probably not
[10:20] <ppf> mzaza: do you care about that?
[10:20] <ppf> lsof shows you all open files and their sizes
[10:21] <guiverc> cxc99, if you read the `man apt-get` you'll note limits on upgrade; dist-upgrade (or apt full-upgrade) perform the upgrade & get past upgrade's restrictions...
[10:24] <auronandace> cxc99: apt-get upgrade does not upgrade packages that pull in new dependencies. that is the intended function. if you want to upgrade packages that require pulling in new dependencies you need to use apt-get dist-upgrade
[10:31] <mzaza> ppf: Yes, because it's a production server and this problem happened before and I remmember solving it with a reboot :D
[10:32] <ppf> mzaza: then check lsof
[10:32] <ppf> it tells you the size of the open file
[10:33] <ppf> with a little bit of scriptery you can certainly figure out which of these files are also deleted
[10:34] <graingert> where do I report screenshots from ubuntu-software
[10:34] <ikonia> report them ?
[10:34] <graingert> The vlc screenshot includes copyrighted, and obviously pirated content - complete with pirate filename format
[10:34] <graingert> ikonia: ^
[10:35] <ikonia> graingert: where is it hosted ?
[10:35] <graingert> no idea
[10:35] <ikonia> where is this screenshot ?
[10:35] <ikonia> what are you talking about then
[10:35] <graingert> in ubuntu-software
[10:35] <graingert> it's a GTK app that's built in
[10:35] <ikonia> !info ubuntu-software
[10:35] <ikonia> ok, so gnome-software
[10:36] <ikonia> so it has a screenshot that contains pirated media ?
[10:36] <graingert> yes
[10:36] <ikonia> graingert: how did you determain it's pirated
[10:36] <graingert> for the vlc page
[10:36] <graingert> ikonia: from the filename
[10:37] <ikonia> what is the filename ?
[10:37] <graingert> it's got all the SXXEXX stuff
[10:37] <ikonia> that doesn't mean it's pirated
[10:37] <graingert> it's not available in any format with that metadata
[10:37] <ikonia> I would suggest you log a bug against the VLC package in launchpad
[10:38] <graingert> except where it's pirated
[10:38] <graingert> you can watch it from the dvds
[10:38] <graingert> or you can watch it on the web with DRM (in which case it won't work in vlc)
[10:38] <ikonia> if you're concerned, log a bug against the VLC package
[10:39] <graingert> where are the actual image files hosted/chosen?
[10:39] <ikonia> I have no idea, that's why I said log a bug
[10:39] <ikonia> it will be part of the VLC package that offers that data to gnome-software
[10:40] <graingert> oh it's AppStream
[10:40] <provolik> Hello, I have Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS and my problem is that my boot partition is full of initrd files. I tried to follow many guides but after some times the problem is there again. Is there a way to resolve it?
[10:40] <ikonia> provolik: what are the names of these files, can you pastebin ls -la /boot in a pastebin please
[10:41] <provolik> JAM
[10:41] <graingert> provolik: try purge-old-kernels
[10:41]  * melissa666 is sickened by people who care so much about piracy that they'd make the effort to report someone over a screenshot in a package repo
[10:42] <graingert> it doesn't seem very profesh
[10:42] <ikonia> melissa666: keep your thoughts on the matter to yourself please
[10:42] <ikonia> graingert: please ignore
[10:42] <provolik> ikonia, https://pastebin.com/iR9iXQ1T
[10:42] <melissa666> ikonia, nah, I'm good. they're already out there in the open anyway
[10:42] <graingert> provolik: yeah purge-old-kernels will do it
[10:42] <provolik> graingert, No kernels are eligible for removal
[10:42] <ikonia> provolik: so they look like legitamate files from packages
[10:43] <graingert> hmm probablynot
[10:43] <ikonia> provolik: what is the current running kernel you are using
[10:43] <graingert> you don't need initrd.img-4.4.0-59-generic and initrd.img-4.10.0-38-generic
[10:43] <provolik> ikonia, 4.13.0-38-generic
[10:44] <ikonia> provolik: so if you open the package manager and search for kernels it will list which kernels you currently have installed
[10:44] <ikonia> provolik: how many do you see
[10:44] <provolik> graingert, that is the answer to purge-old-kernel command
[10:44] <graingert> provolik: yeah I know
[10:44] <mzaza> ppf: I don't understand anything from the output, would you like me to paste it if you wish to help :D
[10:44] <graingert> does any package think it owns initrd.img-4.4.0-59-generic ?
[10:45] <ppf> mzaza: there's a SIZE/OFF column
[10:45] <provolik> ikonia, sorry I don't use the package manager so much, where do I have to watch?
[10:45] <ikonia> provolik: how do you normally install packages then ?
[10:45] <ppf> mzaza: that's filesize in byte
[10:45] <provolik> terminal
[10:46] <ikonia> provolik: the terminal is still the package manager
[10:46] <ikonia> apt/dpkg is the package manager
[10:46] <ikonia> so list the kernel packages
[10:46] <ppf> mzaza: lsof -s switches to SIZE only
[10:47] <mzaza> ppf: Oh yes, http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/xBYfRC2GJs/. Seems nohop.out
[10:47] <provolik> ikonia, https://pastebin.com/nUbWZRK5 <- this is good?
[10:47] <bites> hello, i'm having trouble with systemd-networkd-wait-online.service getting stuck on boot for two minutes until timeout. i have a bonding interface bond0 with a static ip and four slaves that come up without issues. nothing meaningful in the journal. https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/mVYysRbbnK/  any idea how i can track down the cause?
[10:48] <ppf> mzaza: yes, that looks fitting
[10:48] <ikonia> provolik: there you go, so remove those packages/purge the ones you don't need
[10:49] <provolik> ikonia, it says to me they are not installed
[10:50] <mzaza> ppf: So now I just reboot :D and avoid the command which generates this problem in the future.
[10:50] <provolik> I can remove only the "ii"
[10:50] <geirha> mzaza: so if you find where it runs that nohup, you could slap on   > /dev/null   since you apparently want to ignore the output anyway
[10:50] <interrobangd> hello, i have added my user into a nother group but "id" and "groups" dont show that
[10:50] <ppf> geirha: ?
[10:51] <ppf> interrobangd: did you log out and back in?
[10:51] <interrobangd> no
[10:51] <ikonia> provolik: what is the exact command you are using
[10:51] <provolik> ikonia, sudo apt remove linux-image-4.13.0-31-generic
[10:52] <ikonia> provolik: try it against linux-image-4.13.0-37-generic
[10:52] <geirha> ppf: nohup redirects output to nohup.out if you don't expeclitly redirect it. Since something is deleting those nohup.out files, it stands to reason that data is uninteresting
[10:53] <provolik> ikonia, okay, againt the 37 it will work but I have to remove the older initrd.img file, not the newer. Wil this command help me?
[10:53] <ikonia> provolik: it looks like some of the packages have already been removed with the rc status,
[10:53] <ikonia> provolik: but they have left the config files
[10:53] <ppf> geirha: right, but the process is php, i doubt that's under their control
[10:53] <ikonia> provolik: try apt-get purge against those packages
[10:53] <ikonia> rather than remove
[10:54] <provolik> ikonia I try
[10:55] <geirha> ppf: I bet there's a script somehwere that tries to run the php script as a "daemon" by running it with nohup and &
[10:55] <mzaza> geirha: Yes, there is. They run the command manualy after each deployment with nohup and &
[10:55] <ppf> M(
[10:55] <mzaza> I changed it to be nohup php artisan queue:listen > /dev/null &
[10:56] <geirha> mzaza: >/dev/null 2>&1 &
[10:57] <mzaza> >/dev or > /dev ?
[10:57] <provolik> ikonia, I have just remove all the rc with pirge, but the inittd.img files are still there
[10:57] <ppf> mzaza: doesn't matter
[10:57] <mzaza> ppf: geirha Great, thanks alot guys :)
[10:58] <provolik> ikonia, is it possible that there's a driver / module that keeps alive those files?
[10:59] <mzaza> ppf: geirha Why does nohup always exist after I write any command, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/t4SXkPCz56/
[10:59] <mzaza> even while using &
[10:59] <ikonia> provolik:
[10:59] <ikonia> provolik: no,
[11:00] <ppf> 'exist'
[11:00] <ppf> ?
[11:00] <mzaza> *exit
[11:00] <ikonia> provolik: run dpkg -S /boot/filename
[11:00] <nar> What are Kernel Version number components (a.b.c-zzz) called? For e.g. output of uname  -r is 4.4.0-28-generic, can someone please clarify me?
[11:00] <ppf> mzaza: that's what it does
[11:01] <mzaza> ppf: Shouldn't & keep the command on running in the background, why does it exit?
[11:01] <ppf> it does
[11:01] <ppf> but the nohup process exits
[11:02] <provolik> ikonia, it doesn't work, it says that there's not a path corresponding to it
[11:03] <mzaza> ppf: Yes, when I check now using ps aux, it seems the process keeps on getting killed and start again new pids, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/mSbGYgnzB3/
[11:03] <Guest71387> hello can some one suggest me is it possible to increase the lenght of PSU extension cable with about 10 feet from available 8 inch from this link and will it work or not or any fault will be there  ?  https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812423183&cm_re=ATX_Power_Supply_Extension_Cable-_-12-423-183-_-Product

[11:04] <ppf> which process
[11:04] <provolik> ikonia, gtg -> brb
[11:04] <mzaza> ppf: everytime i write nohup
[11:04] <provolik> sorry :-/
[11:04] <ppf> mzaza: i don't get it

[11:06] <ppf> #hardware maybe. otherwise check with alis
[11:06] <Guest71387> #hardware
[11:07] <Guest71387> no channel for hardware
[11:07] <Guest71387> toms hardware having any channel on IRC?
[11:07] <auronandace> should be ##hardware
[11:09] <Guest71387> anyway can we extend power supply dc cables to motherboard with about 10 feet ? there any such cable available ?
[11:09] <ppf> we don't know
[11:10] <Guest71387> are nt you all studies computer science?
[11:10] <ppf> we're #ubuntu, we don't do hardware
[11:10] <ducasse> Guest71387: it's not an ubuntu question, take it elsewhere please
[11:10] <Guest71387> tell me channel please
[11:10] <ppf> we did
[11:10] <ducasse> ask #reenode
[11:10] <Guest71387> well i am using ubuntu pc
[11:11] <ducasse> *#freenode
[11:11] <kiokoman> 10 feet ? you will probably have a lot of problem doing that, you'll stress the power supply at least, probably loosing too mutch power along the cable
[11:12] <ppf> don't engage him :p
[11:12] <Guest71387> okay so it is not possible ?
[11:12] <Guest71387> thank you answering i would like to know more
[11:12] <Guest71387> your are genius
[11:13] <Guest71387> how about 5 feet ?
[11:14] <kiokoman> http://www.calculator.net/voltage-drop-calculator.html
[11:17] <Guest71387> any motherboard with onboard dc to dc psu ?
[11:18] <ikonia> Guest71387: that isn't this channels purpose
[11:18] <ikonia> try ##hardware
[11:18] <Guest71387> i will install new ubuntu bionic beaver on it if you will help me to find a new motherboard
[11:19] <ikonia> try ##hardware

[11:19] <Guest71387> not working
[11:19] <ikonia>  /join ##hardware
[11:19] <ppf> ikonia: they don't get it ... best ignore or kick
[11:19] <ikonia> ask in that channel
[11:20] <Guest71387> nopes no channel opened doing this /join ##hardware
[11:20] <ikonia> Guest71387: channels there
[11:20] <Guest71387> i am not getting forward when i type /join ##hardware and hit enter
[11:21] <ikonia> Guest71387: ask for help in #freenode then - where you already are
[11:21] <ikonia> they have already told you to join ##hardware
[11:21] <ikonia> if you can't join, they can help you join
[11:21] <Guest71387> who  can help ?
[11:21] <Guest71387> you invite me

[11:50] <hollusion> any ideas?
[11:56] <bites> hello, i would like to track the artful kernel on bionic. unfortunately the pinning doesn't work like i expected. https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/JJndPCSms8/   do you have an idea how i can get the pinning right?
[12:01] <matso> Is ubuntu-mate has IRC channel too?
[12:02] <JimBuntu> matso, /msg alis LIST ubuntu
[12:06] <provolik> Here again
[12:07] <provolik> The issue with the initrd img files is still there
[12:08] <provolik> I tried also to remove them manually, but after an autoremove they are there again
[12:18] <raindev> provolik, by manually you mean rm? Did the files come back?
[12:18] <tomreyn> bites: it's not usually wise to use an older kernel on a newer user space, this is merely a recipe for trouble. why are you doing this in the first place.
[12:18] <tomreyn> ?
[12:19] <provolik> yes raindev
[12:19] <bites> tomreyn: because the 4.15 kernel breaks fibre channel / multipath for me.
[12:20] <raindev> provolik, do you run the latest kernel of the available in /boot? (can verify with uname -a)
[12:20] <tomreyn> bites: did you report a bug / is there a bug report on this already (and maybe a workaroun ddiscussed there, too)?
[12:21] <tomreyn> bites: also, did you consider newer kernels? i.e. !mainline
[12:21] <bites> tomreyn: thanks, but i would like to work on the pinning now not debug my fibre channel issue now.
[12:21] <webmind> /64/49
[12:21] <webmind> oops
[12:22] <provolik> raindev, yes I run the last
[12:23] <ioria> provolik, check /var/lib/initramfs-tools/
[12:23] <tomreyn> bites: okay. it's not a wise thing to do, so i'm not going to try and support running an artful kernel on bionic. good luck.
[12:24] <provolik> ioria, I checked and there are the folders relative to the initrd img files
[12:24] <ioria> provolik, mv them
[12:26] <provolik> ioria, moved
[12:26] <ioria> bites, artful is going to end soon (and its kern) same for the xenial hwe (this august)
[12:26] <bites> i'm aware, thanks.
[12:28] <provolik> ioria, do I have to try to remove manually initrd files again?
[12:28] <ioria> provolik,  check again your /boot
[12:28] <provolik> ioria, it's full
[12:28] <provolik> with all initrd files there
[12:28] <ioria> provolik,  paste it, please
[12:28] <provolik> ok
[12:29] <provolik> ioria, https://pastebin.com/rjh15fuu
[12:29] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[12:30] <ioria> provolik,  are you running -38 ?
[12:30] <provolik> ioria, yes the uname -r returns -> 4.13.0-38-generic
[12:31] <ioria> provolik,  dpkg -l|grep linux-image-[0-9]|grep ^ii
[12:32] <provolik> ioria, https://pastebin.com/8Jdf96A5
[12:33] <provolik> I should feel better preserving also 37
[12:33] <leftyfb> provolik: what is the issue again? Are you out of space in /boot with only 2 kernels installed?
[12:33] <provolik> yes
[12:33] <ioria> provolik, dpkg -l|grep linux-image-[0-9]|grep -v ^ii
[12:34] <provolik> ioria, the output is empty
[12:34] <leftyfb> provolik: why did you make /boot so small?
[12:34] <provolik> leftyfb, the installation was automatic
[12:35] <provolik> leftyfb, and tbh I asked myself many many times
[12:35] <ioria> provolik, please again,   dpkg -l|grep linux-image-[0-9]
[12:35] <leftyfb> provolik: a default install of ubuntu doesn't create a separate /boot.
[12:36] <provolik> ioria, https://pastebin.com/wrQ8Mzt6
[12:36] <leftyfb> ioria: I question whether or not there's a separare /boot and the whole drive is out of space
[12:36] <provolik> leftyfb, IDK what happened but I didn't choose it
[12:36] <ioria> provolik, you did something weird ... yes
[12:36] <leftyfb> provolik: mount |grep boot ; df -h /boot
[12:36] <ioria> provolik,  df -h
[12:37] <provolik> ioria, https://pastebin.com/xeEf0xdC
[12:37] <ioria> provolik,  you might need to manually remove those kernels
[12:37] <leftyfb> ok, something isn't right
[12:37] <provolik> ioria, how?
[12:38] <ioria> provolik, you use encryption,right ?
[12:38] <provolik> IDTS
[12:38] <provolik> I usually don't encrypt fs
[12:38] <leftyfb> provolik: ls -l /boot
[12:39] <leftyfb> maybe you've got some files left over from older kernels
[12:39] <provolik> leftyfb, https://pastebin.com/rkYehgz7
[12:39] <leftyfb> bingo
[12:40] <ioria> provolik,  you might need to manually remove those kernels,because they are not installed
[12:40] <provolik> okay I can proceed
[12:40] <provolik> JAM
[12:40] <leftyfb> provolik: wait
[12:40] <leftyfb> provolik: sudo rm /boot/*4.4*
[12:40] <provolik> leftyfb, ok
[12:40] <leftyfb> do this carefully
[12:40] <provolik> sudo find /boot -name "*4.10*" -exec rm {} \;
[12:41] <leftyfb> no
[12:41] <provolik> I am starting with this
[12:41] <leftyfb> hold on
[12:41] <provolik> ok
[12:41] <leftyfb> lets be safe
[12:41] <provolik> leftyfb, 4.4 removed
[12:41] <leftyfb> sudo mkdir /backup && ; sudo mv /boot/*4.10* /backup/
[12:41] <provolik> Oh I have many backups
[12:42] <ioria> provolik,  be sure in /var/lib/initramfs-tools/ there are only -37 and -38  and nothing else
[12:42] <provolik> ioria, sure
[12:42] <provolik> leftyfb, can I remove 4.10 also?
[12:42] <leftyfb> provolik: personally, I would make a backup where you've got space, but sure
[12:43] <provolik> leftyfb, ioria, removed all 4.4 and 4.10
[12:43] <provolik> now I am going to run autoremove
[12:43] <leftyfb> autoremove shouldn't remove anything
[12:43] <leftyfb> you should always have 2 kernels
[12:43] <leftyfb> current and previous
[12:43] <ioria> provolik,  nothing to remove (unless it picks the headers)
[12:44] <provolik> yes but it will recover the failed installation caused by the no space left in boot
[12:44] <ioria> provolik,  check again ls /boot
[12:44] <leftyfb> autoremove won't do that. sudo apt install -f # will
[12:45] <ioria> provolik,  if ok, run sudo update-grub
[12:55] <provolik> ioria, leftyfb, it worked!
[12:55] <provolik> the trick was to (re)move the files in the initramfs-tools folder
[12:56] <provolik> now -> 63% /boot
[12:56] <provolik> ioria, leftyfb, I owe you a beer
[12:58] <memphisto> i want one too
[12:58] <provolik> :-)

[13:37] <dave666> Hi, I am trying to upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04. During the distribution upgrade, it gets the the part of "Getting new packages". Then hangs for a long while, and then fails. There are specific packages which it looks for, and can't find. I came here yesterday and it was suggested that I try a different repo. Under Software & Updates, On the "Ubuntu
[13:37] <dave666>  Software" tab, I changed: "Download from:"Server for South Africa" to "Main server".
[13:37] <dave666> The same error occurs.
[13:37] <carlitos_> cant even upload image fixed connection any other sites i can use imgur not working like normal upload keeps failing
[13:37] <dave666> Here is an example failed fetch line:

[13:46] <ppf> Matso: the message was you're good here
[13:47] <Matso> the lack of notification center in ubuntu-desktop is so annoying
[13:48] <Jonta> Matso: What sorts of notifications does MATE give you?

[13:50] <Jonta> Hm?
[14:03] <carlitoswaaaay> can you bring down a wifi card with ifdown or is it iwconfigdown or something like iwdown

[14:19] <Lope> how can I use xmodmap to turn right shift into insert?
[14:23] <cruelnoise> anyone know how to upgrade this on ubuntu: Depends: gir1.2-gtk-3.0 (>=3.22)
[14:25] <Lope> `xmodmap -e "keysym Alt_R = Insert"` seems to work. But does anyone know why pressing Ctrl-Insert writes "5~" into my terminal. I don't want that.
[14:29] <oerheks> cruelnoise, care to share what you are doing? 3.22 is the lates i guess
[14:31] <Lope> I just switched to gnome-terminal. I'm feeling at home again.
[14:33] <dreadkopp> hey guys. i've got a service which autologs-in a user using mingetty at tty2. in that users .bashrc it start a x server via startx if none is already running. my problem: when the machine starts up the user is logged in but X fails : https://hastebin.com/raw/umezucoyiw if i log in again @tty1 for example it starts up X just fine. any ideas how to f
[14:33] <dreadkopp> ix this ? (ubuntu 18.04)
[14:34] <kilo_13> usually only tty1 lets you start x
[14:35] <kilo_13> but if you have another user....
[14:35] <UserUS> dreadkopp, (WW) VGA arbiter: cannot open kernel arbiter, no multi-card support
[14:36] <dreadkopp> kilo_13: running the autologin @tty1 doesn't change the behavior though :/
[14:36] <kilo_13> hmmmmmm.
[14:36] <dreadkopp> @UserUS : so what is that trying to tell me ? :)
[14:36] <kilo_13> reboot?
[14:36] <cruelnoise> oerheks: I think 16.04 has like 3.18 or something not 3.22 and I was wondering how to upgrade?
[14:37] <kilo_13> maybe reinstall whatever causes the problem
[14:37] <cruelnoise> oerheks: its an app that has that dependency
[14:38] <oerheks> upgrade to bionic, perhaps? https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=gir1.2-gtk-3.0
[14:38] <mrvanes> Anybody interrested what the real problem with mythbuntu PPA packages was?
[14:39] <cruelnoise> oerheks: i thought about that I think they are sending out update on the 26th
[14:39] <dreadkopp> kilo_13: well... there is nothing installed 'which causes the problems' this is pretty much a fresh install :P
[14:39] <cruelnoise> oerheks: i was playing on updating when the first release point comes out
[14:39] <cruelnoise> oerheks: thats a good option thanks
[14:40] <oerheks> as it has core dependencies, upgrade, i see no valid updatepath for that package alone
[14:41] <oerheks> yw
[14:41] <kilo_13> dreadkopp: is the service logging on a local user?
[14:41] <dreadkopp> kilo_13 it is (the only existing user on that machine)
[14:42] <dreadkopp> it should be a teminal machine, simply displaying a browser in kiosk mode when started
[14:42] <kilo_13> oh. then in that case...
[14:43] <kilo_13> dreadkopp: a full reinstall would probably fix it. I've never heard of this problem before.
[14:46] <dreadkopp> kilo_13 : it is a fresh install. just ubuntu server 18.04 + openssh + chromium + xorg-server ... still weird it works fine after loggin in in another tty manually
[14:52] <mine> I have no GUI when I boot up my computer
[14:52] <mine> I log in via command line and then I have to type "startx"
[14:52] <napalmgrenade> Hi I'm trying to correctly adjust my locale settings
[14:52] <napalmgrenade>  [10:51] == deo [~de0@una
[14:53] <napalmgrenade> woops, basically, i set my locale to utf-8 US for LC_ALL and LANG
[14:53] <napalmgrenade> but when I try the locale command, they are not surrounded by double quotes and the rest of them are
[14:53] <mine> when I tried typing "gnome-shell" it said it wasn't installed, but I guess that's vanilla gnome. What is the Canonical version called?
[14:53] <Lope> I changed capslock into shift `xmodmap -e "keysym Caps_Lock = Shift_L"` that works nicely, now I want to make "Control_L Caps_Lock = Caps_Lock" ... Possible?
[14:53] <napalmgrenade> like so: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/xPSV3sgTDT/
[14:56] <oerheks> napalmgrenade, in your situation the reason is not clear, see mine with english @ dutch locale https://paste.linux.community/view/6699dca2
[14:57] <oerheks> those with "en" are dubble quoted
[14:57] <oerheks> so, i guess yours is fine
[14:58] <napalmgrenade> hm, but all of mine are en, some are quoted and the ones I edited aren't
[14:58] <napalmgrenade> I manually wrote to the locale file
[14:58] <napalmgrenade> but when I open it up I see no quotations on anything..
[14:59] <napalmgrenade> On UNIX operating systems, Oracle highly recommends that you enable Unicode support by setting the LANG and LC_ALL environment variables to a locale with the UTF-8 character set. This enables the operating system to process any character in Unicode.
[15:00] <napalmgrenade> As long as I meet this pre-requisite I don't really mind...is there a way to check this thing?
[15:01] <oerheks> napalmgrenade, look at your paste, those are set already
[15:15] <dreadkopp> okay. moved the script that starts X in a bash script which is called at the very end of the bash_rc. the script itselfs checks every second if a X server is running and if not tries to start it ... running the bash script from a logged_in user works fine though .... (?)
[15:26] <napalmgrenade> Hey I'm trying to install some software, but if I do it as root I get an error telling me that I am the root. If I try to do sudo followed by the installation, I apparently dont have permission to create /home/instance...what do I do?
[15:28] <geirha> napalmgrenade: if you're trying to install something in your homedir, you should NOT do it as root
[15:29] <napalmgrenade> so do I have to give myself write permissions to /home somehow?
[15:29] <napalmgrenade> I know there is a way using chmod and what not
[15:32] <LainOfTheWired> chmod u+w /home
[15:32] <LainOfTheWired> something like that?
[15:35] <Lope> is there a way to make xrandr SAY that a monitor is connected (it actually is) when it thinks it's not? What does --set allow me to do in this regard?
[16:03] <nacc> Lope: xrandr is just reporting back the physical connector state, iirc
[16:03] <ppf> sounds like xy
[16:03] <ppf> what do you want to do
[16:03] <nacc> ppf: indeed
[16:10] <grek> uzywa ktos moze dockera ?
[16:10] <grek> sory
[16:10] <ppf> !pl
[16:18] <rqh4> i used curl -X PUT http://couchbaseip:5984/db
[16:18] <rqh4> what kind of request is this
[16:18] <rqh4> also how can i check if the data that is sent is persisting
[16:24] <nacc> rqh4: ... it's a PUT request?
[16:25] <rqh4> nacc: yes
[16:26] <nacc> rqh4: ok, that answered your first question.
[16:27] <nacc> rqh4: for the second, check the database?
[16:27] <rqh4> nacc: how do i check the database
[16:27] <ikonia> how is this anything to even do with ubuntu ?
[16:30] <nacc> rqh4: why are you even using a database if you don't know this?
[16:30] <nacc> ikonia: indeed :)
[16:30] <rqh4> nacc: m just tooling around man
[16:31] <nacc> rqh4: ok, then you want a different channel
[16:31] <rqh4> alright
[16:31] <nacc> rqh4: presumbly a couchbase specific one
[16:39] <slipttees> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/yNvPsVBdpT/
[16:39] <slipttees> Won't work
[16:39] <slipttees> :-(
[16:51] <nacc> slipttees: where is $a defined? why are you escaping the quote immediately after its use? the second -e makes no sense, that's not an expression that's useful to sed.
[16:51] <slipttees> nacc: thanks
[16:54] <vlstv> hi!
[16:55] <Jonta> Hi
[16:55] <Trix59> hi
[16:55] <Trix59> is ROCm needed for AMD driver to work?
[17:02] <vlstv> I am new to ubuntu and i think I am in love with this distro
[17:02] <compdoc> let us know when youre sure
[17:02] <ash_worksi> the notification window for things like email, chat, etc, is really annoying on 18's DE... is there any way to make it less intrusive like back on unity (where it was semi-transparent and you could click through it)
[17:04] <lotuspsychje> ash_worksi: perhaps you could dig a bit into dconf-editor and see if you can find notify settings
[17:05] <PsychoBoB> guys
[17:05] <PsychoBoB> why my ubuntu dont' works with my mouse optic
[17:06] <PsychoBoB> the keyboard and the right and scroll mouse works fine
[17:06] <PsychoBoB> but the button left no
[17:06] <PsychoBoB> I guess that have a conflict in usb ports
[17:07] <PsychoBoB> because when I connect the wirelesse keyboard and mouse, my touchpad dont's work fine too
[17:07] <PsychoBoB> I'm using ubuntu 18
[17:09] <renn0xtk9> I have an encrypted disk (LUKS) how to mount it from CLI?
[17:09] <Jonta> PsychoBoB: Try keeping your question on just one line. What mouse are you using?
[17:09] <Jonta> renn0xtk9: Does it show up on lsblk?
[17:09] <qwebirc35817> Hello, I've question, does the new ubuntu sevrer 18.04 by default use systemd-resolve, can I turn it of and use the default router or another dns server instead? I'm confused because on 16.04 I never see systemd-resolved listen on port 53
[17:10] <PsychoBoB> Jonta:
[17:10] <lotuspsychje> qwebirc35817: see also #ubuntu-server
[17:10] <PsychoBoB> miscrosoft
[17:10] <PsychoBoB> wireless keynoard 2000
[17:10] <qwebirc35817> Okay.
[17:11] <renn0xtk9> jonta I manage to mount via the graphicla interface of KDE but it is mounted with root access rights
[17:12] <renn0xtk9> The thing I would like to tdo is that when mounting with graphicla interface it mounts with user access rights
[17:16] <PsychoBoB> someone?
[17:17] <renn0xtk9> jonta this is lsblk by the way https://pastebin.com/GUfRyWGT

[17:20] <Cryptolock> Hi guys i need to create a repo for offsite backup. is ubuntu a good server ?
[17:20] <compdoc> it is
[17:21] <Cryptolock> i cannot seem to find a manul of creating a storage. i have OS on the SSD and one the datastorage on the second disk.
[17:21] <compdoc> samba?
[17:22] <Cryptolock> i will be using VEEAM backup it does support samba and linux repo.
[17:23] <Cryptolock> is nfs better than samba ?
[17:23] <compdoc> I dont think so. I have never used nfs, but I see a lot of problems people have
[17:24] <Cryptolock> problems with nfs ?
[17:24] <PsychoBoB> =(
[17:24] <PsychoBoB> problem with my wireless mouse
[17:24] <PsychoBoB> how I restart my usb port
[17:25] <compdoc> PsychoBo, is it attached to a blue usb port?
[17:25] <Cryptolock> echo -n "0000:00:1a.0" | tee /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd/unbind
[17:25] <Cryptolock> echo -n "0000:00:1d.0" | tee /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd/unbind
[17:25] <Cryptolock> echo -n "0000:00:1a.0" | tee /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd/bind
[17:25] <Cryptolock> echo -n "0000:00:1d.0" | tee /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd/bind
[17:26] <Cryptolock> use this command and it will unbind and bind your usb ports
[17:30] <nacc> slipttees: no, that also makes no sense
[17:33] <leftyfb> PsychoBoB: Cryptolock: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/VD5TSVC8dZ/
[17:34] <PsychoBoB> leftyfb:
[17:34] <PsychoBoB> I can run in terminal ?
[17:34] <leftyfb> PsychoBoB: you save it as a script and run it as sudo/root
[17:35] <PsychoBoB> leftyfb: save on bashrc?
[17:35] <leftyfb> PsychoBoB: what does bashrc have to do with it?
[17:36] <slipttees> nacc: about -e
[17:38] <PsychoBoB> leftyfb: can you show me how i run it?
[17:40] <leftyfb> PsychoBoB: reboot, that will "reset" your usb ports
[17:40] <nacc> slipttees: what about -e?
[17:40] <nacc> slipttees: perhaps you need to review `man sed`
[17:42] <PsychoBoB> leftyfb: I've used another usb keyboard and mouse, now that I'm using one from microsoft I believe it has conflict because everything works except the left button on my wireless mouse. It's very weird.
[17:44] <curlyears> *WAH*
[17:46] <curlyears> OK...18.04 seesed to have installerd with no issues.  I was running along fine, when all of a sudden I couldn't use Firefox anymore.  It claimed it c00uldn't read my firefox profile.   Then, about 30 minutes later, firefox started throwing the same error.  Now, I can neither browse the web, nor check or use my email.  Then, today, while sleuthing around, alol of a sudden the ystem said it could not find "cd" when I typed "sudo cd
.   What the ????
[17:46] <slipttees> nacc: thanks for help!
[17:47] <nacc> curlyears: cd is a bash builtin.
[17:48] <leftyfb> curlyears: pretty sure I've told you multiple times you run a drive/filesystem check
[17:48] <curlyears> nacc!   How you doing today?
[17:49] <leftyfb> curlyears: https://www.tecmint.com/check-linux-hard-disk-bad-sectors-bad-blocks/
[17:49] <curlyears> leftyfb:>  yes, you have, after whic hy I asked if that mean either an fdisk or an fsck, to which you responded "No."  I still don't know what command you're proposing that I use\
[17:50] <nacc> curlyears: fdisk is a partition editor, it doesn't know what filesystems are.
[17:50] <PsychoBoB> leftyfb:
[17:50] <PsychoBoB> I restart my usb ports
[17:50] <leftyfb> curlyears: a simple google would have told you how. The link I just gave was the 2nd result for "linux disk check"
[17:50] <PsychoBoB> But just left button on mouse dont works
[17:50] <curlyears> (I can't google anything, I can't run my web browser
[17:51] <curlyears> leftyfb: I can't google anything, I can't run my web browser
[17:51] <leftyfb> curlyears: in 24 hours you haven't had access to another device with a web browser?
[17:51] <curlyears> \(gotta remember to tag things on this channel :) )
[17:51] <curlyears> leftyfb:  that is correct.
[17:51] <leftyfb> curlyears: you don't have a smart phone or tablet or other computer? Even a Nintendo switch can get to web pages
[17:52] <curlyears> I have none of those th8ings, leftyfb
[17:52] <leftyfb> curlyears: boot a live cd/usb, then google for "linux disk check" and click the link going to tecmint.com , follow the instructions while still booted to the live cd/usb
[17:53] <curlyears> leftfb:>   Oh, boy!   I get to sit here and twiddle my thumbs waiting for a live session to boot up   ***JOY***
[17:54] <leftyfb> curlyears: or you could not bother troubleshooting at all. Your choice
[17:54] <curlyears> is there no way to avoid the live session?
[17:55] <IntelCore> hey. leftyfb - solved my not mounting problem. was cdrom setting in 'disks'
[17:55] <leftyfb> curlyears: Not without a functioning computer to make an ubuntu server cd/usb
[17:55] <leftyfb> curlyears: which you don't have. So no
[17:56] <curlyears> another thing:  wyhen 18.04 LTS installs, it lets you login as the user you crerated during the install, on a system with no "effective root."  How is that?
[17:56] <leftyfb> curlyears: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo  read through that when you have a functioning computer again
[17:56] <blackflow> curlyears: there's root, it just doesn't have a password set so you can't login to root directly.
[17:57] <curlyears> leftyfb: I  have a bootable DVD of 18.04 LTS.  What other CD/USB do I need?
[17:57] <leftyfb> curlyears: ubuntu server, which would boot quicker
[17:58] <nacc> curlyears: just boot that
[17:58] <leftyfb> curlyears: boot the live cd/usb you have, then google for "linux disk check" and click the link going to tecmint.com , follow the instructions while still booted to the live cd/usb
[17:58] <leftyfb> curlyears: good luck
[17:58] <IntelCore> My new wifi-cable won't connect.
[17:59] <leftyfb> IntelCore: Do any devices on your network connect to it?
[17:59] <IntelCore> yea win10
[17:59] <IntelCore> leftyfb - log in ubuntu say wlano not ready, i disable ufw
[17:59] <curlyears> alright.   It really does take a long time for the live session to bopot, under 18.04 :(
[18:00] <leftyfb> IntelCore: define not connect. What version of ubuntu? How are you trying to connect? How is it failing? Error messages? Do you have an ip address? Can you ping your router? google.com?
[18:00] <leftyfb> curlyears: good luck
[18:01] <IntelCore> ok. 16.04lts, auto connect to new account.. the network / wifi just disconnects the found wifi..dunno ping router
[18:02] <leftyfb> what do you mean disconnects? Does it connect at all? How long does it stay connected? While it's connected do you have an ip address?
[18:02] <IntelCore> no ip address.. they got me a ssid and password
[18:03] <leftyfb> IntelCore: "they got me a ssid and password" what does this mean?
[18:03] <IntelCore> on the wifi
[18:03] <leftyfb> :/
[18:03] <leftyfb> IntelCore: Do you have a smart phone?
[18:03] <IntelCore> no
[18:04] <leftyfb> IntelCore: tablet? Other computer?
[18:04] <IntelCore> nope
[18:04] <IntelCore> this is win 10
[18:04] <Matsu_> I installed a fresh installation of Ubuntu 18.04 on my laptop but can't enable my laptop's graphics card. Running nvidia-settings tells me that the nvidia driver is not downloaded. Laptop has a Geforce 940m
[18:04] <IntelCore> dual booting
[18:04] <Matsu_> Anyone have any suggestions what to try
[18:05] <leftyfb> IntelCore: are you 100% sure you are typing the correct password for the wifi? You're seeing the SSID in the list of available networks, picking the one for your house and typing in the password?
[18:06] <IntelCore> leftyfb - have not put-in password, it did not prompt. just disconnects
[18:06] <Bashing-om> Matsu_: What have you done so far to install a proprietary driver ( that we might have to UNdo ) ?
[18:07] <IntelCore> :) Bashing-om sent me ubuntu weekly. smiles
[18:07] <Matsu_> Bashing-om: Haven't really done anything yet. Tried looking through GUI's to no awail.
[18:07] <Bashing-om> IntelCore: In the goof up I did .. or from the ubuntu account ?
[18:07] <Matsu_> Bashing-om: I have experience in using linux and prefer using the terminal but this is my first time using a linux with a external gpu
[18:08] <IntelCore> ? I got e-mail
[18:09] <Bashing-om> Matsu_: Run then these 3 commands: ' sudo apt update ; sudo apt full-upgrade ; sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall ' .
[18:11] <Matsu_> Ran the commands. AUtoinstall is still processing. Seeing some nvidia drivers installed at least
[18:11] <Matsu_> I'll take a guess, I'll have to restart my computer after this? Bashing-om
[18:11] <Bashing-om> IntelCore: In my haste I sent put to the mailing list from my standard Email rather than from ubuntu.com ... thus had to resend :(
[18:12] <Bashing-om> Matsu_: Oh yeah .. reboot for the new driver to take effect :)
[18:12] <IntelCore> oic... I do get them from 3 ppl now, eh
[18:13] <Matsu_> EIther it hung on "Building initial module" or it takes a long time
[18:13] <Bashing-om> IntelCore: Well, at least you are well informed :P
[18:13] <IntelCore> aye that
[18:13] <oerheks> Matsu_, yes, just be patient
[18:13] <Bashing-om> Matsu_: takes a long time to build .
[18:14] <Matsu_> Aight. Thank you guys/gals
[18:14] <IntelCore> leftyfb, can i just start the networking/wifi all over?
[18:15] <leftyfb> IntelCore: go to edit connections and delete what you have for the wifi profile
[18:15] <IntelCore> ok... and... cas i have to grub-up ubuntu
[18:16] <IntelCore> leftyfb - so then reboot.. and wifi will see a new one?
[18:16] <leftyfb> IntelCore: you don't need to reboot, just try to connect to wifi again
[18:17] <IntelCore> 10-4.. bbiab

[18:55] <curlyears> leftyfb:  what search string did you specify to search for ino on checking my disks and file systems, please?  I appoarently did not remember it correctly\
[18:56] <curlyears> at least Tunderbird runs correctly under Live Session 18.04
[18:57] <IntelCore> thunderbird is nice.
[18:58] <IntelCore> used . sudo apt update. got all that done
[18:58] <curlyears> doggone it
[18:58] <curlyears> leftyfb:  I temporarily lost my connection.  Did you respond to me?
[18:58] <IntelCore> no he didnt
[18:59] <oerheks> you can look back in the logs, curlyears
[18:59] <oerheks> !logs
[18:59] <IntelCore> if you do not change any setting. you can use a program named 'disks. or gparted
[18:59] <leftyfb> curlyears: boot the live cd/usb you have, then google for "linux disk check" and click the link going to tecmint.com , follow the instructions while still booted to the live cd/usb
[19:08] <IntelCore> Leftyfb I was looking at hibernate in windows, and search found systemd. is it used in windows?
[19:14] <IntelCore> Is Ubuntu Software ever going to open for me?
[19:17] <IntelCore> I have software center, and another.. on my 16.04
[19:26] <Creed_> y
[19:28] <IntelCore> opens 'gnome-software' from menu, and it tries, then.. dissappears
[19:29] <Tegu> try running it in terminal
[19:34] <IntelCore> gives a gnome-software:5965: GsPlugin-warning, a Json-critical on two objects
[19:35] <ppf> if i know its pid, can i wait for a process to exit
[19:36] <nic_> how to make any iso contigious
[19:37] <IntelCore> hung terminal
[19:37] <nic_> ubuntu iso not booting
[19:39] <nic_> ubuntu iso from usb error File Not Contiguous ! solution please
[19:40] <IntelCore> is it all you have on it?
[19:40] <nic_> no some software exe
[19:41] <IntelCore> k.. you trying to make the live 18.04 to install?
[19:41] <nic_> yes and also live boot
[19:42] <IntelCore> k. get that other software off it
[19:42] <nic_> i have no other place can you suggest me how to make iso contigious on ubuntu
[19:43] <nic_> remove all and first install iso worked lastly but there is not software in linux to do that like defraggler in windows
[19:45] <IntelCore> cas you got other on a boot usb
[19:47] <nic_> alternative to defraggler in ubuntu ?
[19:48] <oerheks> no need to defrag ..
[19:48] <oerheks> !defrag
[19:48] <IntelCore> way to create a bootable on ms
[19:49] <IntelCore> unetbootin-windows-657.exe
[19:50] <oerheks> don't suggest unetbootin please, is is known for issues, use rufus
[19:50] <IntelCore> oerherks will unetbootin help?
[19:50] <oerheks> !usb
[19:50] <IntelCore> < reading linuxconfig.org
[19:51] <oerheks> but just 'iso does not boot'  is hard to give answer to, what is happening, on what system..
[19:51] <oerheks> what ubuntu version too *
[19:58] <nacc> ppf: cf. waitpid()
[19:58] <ppf> that's a systemcall
[19:59] <nacc> ppf: yes, and there are various ways to use that, and you didn't say the context
[19:59] <ppf> moreover, does that even work for processes that are not children?
[19:59] <IntelCore> that second link actually says how to make a usb part to accept the boot iso
[19:59] <nacc> ppf: you asked if it was possible
[19:59] <ppf> i think you can only wait for children with this
[20:00] <nacc> ppf: maybe ask your actual question, then?
[20:00] <nacc> ppf: you want to wait (in what a shell script?) on an arbitrary process to exit?
[20:00] <ppf> yes
[20:02] <nacc> ppf: i think you could use strace for it, presuming you have permission
[20:03] <nacc> ppf: you can also just do a loop in a shell script, of course
[20:03] <ppf> oh, that's a nice idea
[20:03] <ppf> i went with the loop, but strace is much more sexy
[20:04] <nacc> ppf: none of this seems particularly ubuntu support related, though :) probably you want #linux or #bash :)
[20:04] <cluelessperson> I have an issue I'm not sure what the cause is
[20:04] <cluelessperson> ln -sf "$snowblossom_home/systemd/snowblossom-node.service" /etc/systemd/system/
[20:04] <cluelessperson> Failed to execute operation: Too many levels of symbolic links

[20:04] <nacc> cluelessperson: pastebin `ls -ahl $snowblossom_home/systemd/` and `ls -ahl /etc/systemd/system` ?
[20:05] <leftyfb> cluelessperson: there's also no Ubuntu 16 and 18.
[20:05] <ppf> cluelessperson: systemctl link
[20:08] <cluelessperson> leftyfb: 16.04 18.04
[20:08] <IntelCore> < used - sudo apt-get install gnome-software. It found some things, still won't open any software page to choose from.
[20:09] <leftyfb> cluelessperson: just clarifying since it makes a big difference
[20:12] <cluelessperson> nacc: https://hastebin.com/oyagatanod.rb
[20:12] <cluelessperson> thing is, on ubuntu 16.04, it does succeed in creating the link it looks like, just fails with that nonsensical error
[20:13] <j0hn7> echo "hello world"
[20:18] <curlyears> 0 bad blocks 0 0 0 errors per sudo fsck -Vt /dev/sda2
[20:19] <curlyears> *whoa*  as expected, the fsck on a 250 GB sdd took quite a whil3e.  I don't even want to THINK how lo0ng an fsck is going to take on those 2 3 TB hdds   *groan*
[20:20] <leftyfb> is any of your OS on the big hdds?
[20:20] <sonicwind> how long did it take?
[20:20] <curlyears> leftyfs:  no, the entirer OS is on the SDD (partially for speed of access)
[20:21] <leftyfb> curlyears: ok, and what about the SMART test?
[20:22] <curlyears> y9ou mean the one built into the drive?   I don't know how to access that
[20:22] <leftyfb> curlyears: it's in the link I gave you
[20:22] <curlyears> which link would that be,leftyfb?
[20:23] <leftyfb> curlyears: the only link I gave you today, twice. The one that you were supposed to use to run fsck on your drive
[20:25] <cluelessperson> same issue
[20:25] <cluelessperson> Failed to execute operation: Too many levels of symbolic links

[20:27] <xorcon> Just a quick question
[20:28] <leftyfb> !ask | xorcon
[20:28] <cluelessperson> memphisto: that doesn't make sense though
[20:28] <cluelessperson> ln -sf  does it
[20:28] <cluelessperson> it's like it's dereferencing it and going circular
[20:28] <xorcon> On the latest lubuntu when I change the keyboard light this icon appear https://ibb.co/d99taJ , any idea about how to set the correct icon?
[20:30] <pol0> hi , i have problem with my linux audio
[20:30] <pol0> sounds not working
[20:32] <AlephTwo> Hi guys - anybody know where I can find assistance in getting Nvidia gtx650 hdmi port working?
[20:34] <cluelessperson> wtf
[20:34] <cluelessperson> ln -sf /var/snowblossom/systemd/snowblossom-node.service /etc/systemd/system/
[20:35] <cluelessperson> works when I run it manually, but *not* when I run it in this script
[20:35] <memphisto> cluelessperson: have you tried sudo systemctl enable "$snowblossom_home/systemd/snowblossom-node.service"
[20:35] <cluelessperson> OH
[20:35] <nacc> cluelessperson: maybe use `bash -x` to see where it emits that message; and also strace to see which syscall and which arguments are emitting it
[20:35] <cluelessperson> memphisto: it IS the enable command that fails on the 1 symbolic link
[20:36] <cluelessperson> root@snowtest1:~# systemctl enable snowblossom-node.service
[20:36] <cluelessperson> Failed to execute operation: Too many levels of symbolic links
[20:36] <memphisto> full path
[20:37] <nacc> cluelessperson: not sure why you are doing both a symlink and enable?
[20:37] <nacc> cluelessperson: enable already does create symlinks if you give it a non-standard path
[20:38] <memphisto> i think he was doing systemctl enable, but it fails, so he tries manually
[20:38] <memphisto> when he does ln -sf /var/snowblossom/systemd/snowblossom-node.service /etc/systemd/system/ it works
[20:38] <nacc> the symlink creation isn't the problem
[20:38] <nacc> afaict
[20:38] <nacc> it's that they are calling systemctl incorrectly
[20:39] <nacc> in any case, this feels like PEBKAC
[20:40] <cluelessperson> nacc:   apparently you can't do systemctl enable snowblossom-node.service
[20:40] <cluelessperson> you have to do,   systemctl enable /var/snowblossom/systemd/snowblossom-node.service
[20:40] <cluelessperson> it can't follow the symlink
[20:40] <cluelessperson> that's outright stupid
[20:40] <nacc> cluelessperson: no, it can
[20:41] <nacc> cluelessperson: but it's doing not what you expect
[20:41] <nacc> cluelessperson: becuase you are mucking with systemd's filesystem paths outside of systemctl
[20:41] <nacc> don't do that and you'd be fine.
[20:41] <nacc> cluelessperson: and in any case, you want #systemd at this point, if you have a problem with it, afaict

[20:47] <kminor> hey guys, I can't remove the an unpinned not on hold package during dist-upgrade. it's CPP-4.1-doc I can't figure out why it wont remove/purge/reinstall etc. etc.
[20:51] <memphisto> what does apt purge cpp-4.1-doc say ?
 started when dist-upgrading from debian wheezy to jessie ..
[20:52] <oerheks> great doublepost in ##linux
[20:52] <X_Cr4ckR4T> fck the ip address
[20:52] <oerheks> solved
[20:52] <leftyfb> X_Cr4ckR4T: can we help you with something?
[20:52] <oerheks> X_Cr4ckR4T, keep the channel family friendly, thanks
[20:54] <nacc> memphisto: they are gone, and also it's not an ubuntu package :)
[20:54] <nacc> oerheks: lol
[20:55] <curlyears> oerhek:   any idea why my 18.04 system has lost it's "established root" and cannot f9nd system commands when not in the root directory?   (No, I  have NOT mucked about with my path)
[20:56] <leftyfb> curlyears: as you've been told multiple times by multiple people, Ubuntu does not enable the root password by default so you cannot login as root. This is by design.
[20:57] <nacc> curlyears: use `sudo -s -H` if you want to become root. And what commands are you unable to find?
[20:58] <leftyfb> curlyears: This is what I want you to do. I want you to install Ubuntu 18.04 from scratch. Do not keep anything beyond making backups. Then come here and confirm it's online and everything works. DO NOT do anything beyond what I just suggested.
[20:59] <IntelCore> i don't even try to get super user root like /linux.. in ubuntu
[21:00] <oerheks> curlyears, you restored a backup, i see you didn't mention that ...
[21:00] <curlyears> nacc:  cat, cd, ls amping others
[21:00] <oerheks> and after that these strange things happen...
[21:00] <leftyfb> curlyears: please see my last suggestion. You are not recovering from the mess you are in now.
[21:00] <curlyears> onlyu when I use thyem as "sudo cd <path>"
[21:00] <curlyears> II understand perfectly well that I cannot LOG IN as rot.
[21:00] <nacc> curlyears: as i've told you, cd is not a command, it's a shell builtin
[21:01] <oerheks> sudo cd ...
[21:01] <curlyears> nacc:  thyen it should work either directly or as the argument to a sudo verb
[21:01] <nacc> curlyears: no. that' snot how sudo works.
[21:02] <nacc> curlyears: if you want to run a shell builtin, you need to run `sudo bash -c cd` but that's dumb, don't do that.
[21:02] <nacc> curlyears: use a pastebin and actually show what is happening, as i've told you at this point dozens of times.
[21:02] <curlyears> perhaps I misunderstand sudo.  I was under the impression that sudo termporarily permits you to operate as if you were root, in terms  of the filesystem, etc.
[21:03] <IntelCore> my root is /home
[21:03] <leftyfb> IntelCore: you're not helping
[21:03] <leftyfb> curlyears: This is what I want you to do. I want you to install Ubuntu 18.04 from scratch. Do not keep anything beyond making backups. Then come here and confirm it's online and everything works. DO NOT do anything beyond what I just suggested.
[21:03] <IntelCore> sry
[21:04] <nacc> curlyears: sudo can do many things, including what you describe. But only if you use it correctly.
[21:04] <oerheks> no need for sudo + firefox
[21:05] <oerheks> remove the ~/,mozilla folder and start firefox again, clean
[21:06] <IntelCore> oh.
[21:06] <curlyears> OK....so what I think I am hearing is that "cd" cannot be directly used witth sudo, yes?
[21:07] <leftyfb> curlyears: are you ignoring me?
[21:07] <nacc> curlyears: yes, that's always been the case, and it also makes no sense
[21:07] <nacc> curlyears: trying to cd with sudo, makes no sense that is
[21:08] <curlyears> leftyfb:  OK.   I'll be offline for a while, this thing takes a lonmg toime to install (and I have a 3.3 GHz processor and 23GB of RAM)
[21:10] <curlyears> nacc:   sometimes,  I get a permissions fault when trying to cd into certain dirs
[21:10] <ikonia> why would that take time to install
[21:10] <leftyfb> 2400rpm HDD ;)
[21:10] <ikonia> 23GB of ram is a lot (if not an unusual number)
[21:10] <curlyears> ikonia:  ??
[21:11] <curlyears> oops, I meant to type 24, sorry.
[21:11] <nacc> curlyears: but presumably you are not trying to just cd, you need to do something in that directory...
[21:11] <ikonia> so why would it take a long time to install with that resource spec ?
[21:11] <curlyears> n o, I do not have a 2400rpm HDD.  In point of fact, I am installing int directly to an SDD
[21:11] <nacc> curlyears: in any case, you're doing it wrong, if you'd like advice on how to do it 'right', ask your underlying question (as in, what are you trying to do when you cd to a directory you don't have permissions to).
[21:12] <curlyears> nacc:  yes, but first I need to get INTO the directory, whichm, when I am logged in as me, I can't always do.
[21:12] <ikonia> curlyears: so it should be fast then
[21:13] <nacc> curlyears: if what you are describing is accurate, it should only take a few minutes
[21:13] <curlyears> ikonia:  define "fastr"   from my perspective, it is as slow as mollasses in Canada in wintertime.
[21:13] <Comnenus> if I copy /etc/apt/sources.list to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/, and change all us.archive.ubuntu.com and security.ubuntu.com to my-local-mirror.com, when I do an apt update, why is there still a few that are going to security.ubuntu.com ?
[21:14] <leftyfb> curlyears: focus on your install.
[21:14] <nacc> Comnenus: copy or move?
[21:14] <leftyfb> Comnenus: why would you move source.list to .d/ ?
[21:14] <curlyears> nacc:  well, the system is alklk screwed up n ow.  I am going to take leftyfb's suggestion, and reinstall from scratch
[21:14] <Comnenus> nacc: copied, then sed -i the URL's
[21:14] <ikonia> curlyears: then your expectations are unrealistic in the real world
[21:14] <nacc> Comnenus: becuase you didn't remove the one in /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[21:14] <nacc> Comnenus: i have no idea why you'd expect any different behavior
[21:14] <Comnenus> ah.  I thought .d/ took priority.
[21:14] <nacc> Comnenus: no.
[21:14] <curlyears> ~sigh~
[21:15] <Comnenus> Why is it going to my mirror for some and not others then?
[21:15] <nacc> Comnenus: `man sources.list`
[21:15] <nacc> Comnenus: because it's going to *both*
[21:15] <Comnenus> oops.
[21:15] <Comnenus> easy fix at least.
[21:15] <nacc> Comnenus: also, you're doing it wrong :)
[21:15] <Comnenus> nacc: what's the right way?
[21:15] <nacc> Comnenus: no reason to copy the file, edit it in place (make a backup if you want)
[21:16] <nacc> Comnenus: your base sources.list can be in /etc/apt/sources.list; sources.list.d is for third-party repositories (typically)
[21:16] <Comnenus> ah ok.  I thought the model now was you made changes in .d/ so the package maintainer could make edits to the file outside of .d/
[21:16] <Comnenus> good to know :)
[21:17] <nacc> Comnenus: that wouldn't really make sense, as you'd still need to make sure the package maintainer's changes don't conflict/duplicate, etc.
[21:24] <Comnenus> nacc: looking better now.  Thanks!
[21:27] <nacc> Comnenus: yw
[21:28] <nacc> Comnenus: in general, .d directories are meant as extensions to the base level file they correspond to

[21:53] <qwebirc15660> hi
[21:53] <arooni> question; upgraded to 18.04 and now calibre and libreoffice look all .. janky;  example: https://imgur.com/a/1uZDvKj ;; how to fix?
[21:53] <qwebirc15660> can someone help me with a problem i'm having
[21:54] <leftyfb> !ask | qwebirc15660
[21:56] <nacc> arooni: using a non-standard theme?
[21:57] <qwebirc15660> i just installed 16.04 now my pc won't boot. Sometimes it shows ubuntu logo, then: "/dev/nvme0n1p2: clean, 268603/15081472 files, 3019113/60325376 blocks" in white on a black screen. If not that, then the purple background of the logo displays then just black. I can't seem to access GRUB but I can access tty1-6
[21:58] <nacc> qwebirc15660: grub is before linux, you need to (by default) hit escapse iirc to see it
[21:58] <nacc> qwebirc15660: sounds like you might need nomodeset
[21:58] <nacc> !nodmodeset | qwebirc15660
[21:58] <nacc> !nomodeset | qwebirc15660
[22:01] <arooni> nacc: for libre office?  im not aware of themes for it.  as far as ubuntu i think its just the default theme
[22:02] <nacc> arooni: for ubuntu generally not libre
[22:02] <arooni> nacc: ; not sure if prioritizing emoji one font could be screwing it up https://gist.github.com/39592ab83c23907ab3a5c5cfb4063cd0
[22:03] <arooni> oh wow
[22:03] <arooni> changing the theme on gnome tweaks works great!
[22:04] <nacc> arooni: did that fix the issue?
[22:05] <V7> Hey all
[22:05] <arooni> sure did :);  do you have a reccomendatino for a good theme you like?  seems like only the dark ones make the toolbar work as expected
[22:05] <V7> Could anyone suggest and ubuntu for i586 and below ?
[22:06] <Jonta> Lubuntu
[22:06] <nacc> arooni: no idea, both my 18.04 systems are default installs and have no problems with the icons, etc
[22:06] <nacc> V7: what are you going to use it for?
[22:07] <nacc> as in, I'm not sure it's worth installing a desktop on a 586
[22:09] <qwebirc15660> nacc: I added nomodeset to the end of GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT
[22:10] <qwebirc15660> nacc: now it only gives me a purple screen
[22:13] <Comnenus> Anyone running Ubuntu 16.04 as an oVirt guest?  Seems the ovirt-guest-agent won't start, and there's nothing useful in the logs.
[22:15] <oerheks> ovirt is not in out repositories, we like kvm
[22:15] <Comnenus> ovirt uses kvm.
[22:15] <qwebirc15660> If i go through grub recovery mode i am taken to the command line
[22:15] <postmodern> how does one change the wm to something other than gnome-shell? gdm seems to be ignoring any other installed wm
[22:15] <oerheks> try the #ovirt channel here on #freenode?
[22:15] <Comnenus> deader than a doornail.
[22:16] <nacc> qwebirc15660: well, yes that's what recovery mode is
[22:16] <Comnenus> ovirt-guest-agent is in the repos, but I'm trying to find if anyone else has come across this, or if it could be a bug.
[22:16] <Comnenus> In which case I will file that.

[22:17] <Comnenus> nacc: thank you again.  I was looking at the ovirt BZ, and this isn't on there.
[22:18] <nacc> Comnenus: right,  you want the ubuntu bugs for the package
[22:18] <nrg> why is it called the internet when theres no fish
[22:18] <Guest45292> @nacc maybe not :p
[22:18] <nacc> nrg: that is offtopic for this channel, please use #ubuntu-offtopic
[22:19] <oerheks> Guest45292, sounds illegal, activation code..
[22:19] <oerheks> and wrong channel for that.. wrong #freenode network too
[22:20] <IntelCore> yo! ty for all u do
[22:20] <nrg> moody person arnt u have u got a clipboard
[22:20] <nacc> nrg: this is the ubuntu support channel. If you have an ubuntu support topic, please ask.
[22:31] <skinux> Is /etc/swappiness still how to set swappiness in 18.04?
[22:36] <nacc> skinux: uh, i don't think it ever was
[22:37] <nacc> skinux: do you mean /proc/sys/vm/swappiness ?
[22:38] <oerheks> sysctl vm.swappiness=10
[22:38] <nacc> aka --^
[22:38] <oerheks> or edit /etc/sysctl.d/99-sysctl.conf > vm.swappiness=10
[22:38] <nacc> which should be configured in ... beat me to it, oerheks ! :)
[22:38] <oerheks> tip: a great help is the arch wiki, sometimes fedora wiki too .. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/swap
[22:39] <nacc> Tardit: why did you just PM me?
[22:40] <Tardit> Tardit what
[22:40] <nacc> Tardit: you just PMd me twice with unnecessary, rude messages
[22:41] <Tardit> Tardit you mistaken
[22:41] <oerheks> Tardit a.k.a. scumi, seen you before, and you were warned.
[22:42] <DalekSec> Hmm?
[22:43] <Lost_Goat> is it possible to encrypt a new drive added to my server as before i only had a 80GB and now added a 2tb drive but i want to encrypt the whole thing
[22:44] <Tardit> Can't the govt crack all encrypted drives
[22:45] <nacc> Lost_Goat: i think you can encrypt that disk on its own sure
[22:45] <l4m8d4> Lost_Goat: You can use LUKS for that. Encrypting the whole drive /dev/sda would work like "cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/sda"
[22:46] <DalekSec> Tardit: I'm not entirely sure I'd say that, but a lot of times that's not who one would be concerned about.
[22:46] <Lost_Goat> ok perfect,
[22:46] <l4m8d4> The recommended way to do this though, is to create a gpt table on the device, create a partition spanning the whole disk, and encrypting that
[22:47] <Tardit> Most would oink like a pig when threatened by the law to give up passwords. Unless your hillary
[22:47] <l4m8d4> Lost_Goat: If you intend to only use the drive on your server as a non-boot disk, you can use the device without a partition table, if you need to use it on other systems too, windows for example, or if you want to use it as a boot disk, you need a partition table
[22:48] <Lost_Goat> l4m8d4: its only going to serve as storage for the server so i don't need to worry about creating a partition table for it
[22:51] <l4m8d4> Lost_Goat: Yeah, then you can just use the drive without a partition table and encrypt the whole thing. If you need them unlocked for a successful boot, you might want to look into adding corresponding entries in /etc/crypttab
[23:04] <tomreyn> and, if it's an SSD, dont forget about adding the discard flag there (and for lower layers as well), too.
[23:13] <smersh2> hello everybody
[23:13] <smersh2> just testing new ubuntu 18.04
[23:14] <smersh2> everything works so far
[23:14] <squealingcode> Good to hear.
[23:15] <smersh2> best regards ddybing to Norway :)
[23:17] <squealingcode> thank you.
[23:17] <smersh2> your nickname means squealing kode in Norwegian ?
[23:18] <squealingcode> what do you mean? squealingcode is English, meaning "squealing code"
[23:18] <squealingcode> It's just those two words combined
[23:19] <smersh2> I've translated your nickname using Google Translate :)
[23:19] <squealingcode> ah, I see. It translates to "Skrikende kode" in Norwegian.
[23:21] <smersh2> here what Google Translate says - https://translate.google.com.ua/?hl=en&tab=wT#en/no/squealing%20code
[23:21] <genii> squealingcode: Is it "squealing code" or "squealin' gcode" or "squeal in gcode" ? ;)
[23:21] <squealingcode> You be the judge of that ;)
[23:21] <genii> heh
[23:23] <smersh2> squealingcode - yes, a little different - https://translate.google.com.ua/?hl=en&tab=wT#no/ru/Skrikende%20kode
[23:24] <smersh2> ok. whatever. ttyl = Talk/Type To You Later :) - going to have some nap
[23:24] <squealingcode> have a good one, cheers.
[23:24] <smersh2> bye

[23:34] <skarz_> does anyone know how i can install strongswan-plugin-openssl on ubuntu 17.10
[23:39] <ZaZaQR> hi
[23:46] <urgodfather> hi
[23:46] <linux_noob4> does iommu have anything to do with gpu performance when not using vm software? could've sworn it helped my amd gpu when turning it on in bios
[23:48] <skarz> is there a way using file manager to open a folder as root? can't paste a file in to /etc/ipsec.d/certs/
[23:49] <Bashing-om> skarz: What release ? As gksu is discontinued .
[23:51] <guiverc> skarz, at least one file managers allows you to run as root (if using X and not wayland i suspect)
[23:55] <warhawk> whaoh
