[07:07] <plex_dave> hey errrbody. i am having a problem with an external usb 3 drive. sometimes it shows up in file manager, sometimes it does not. i am on xubuntu 16.04. this usb device always works on another machine I have that runs 18.04
[07:08] <plex_dave> sdb shows up when I ls /dev/ | grep sd with the drive attached and doesn't show up when the drive isn't attached.
[07:09] <plex_dave> drive doesn't show up in the disk utility
[07:09] <plex_dave> and when the drive isn't showing up in file manager, sudo fdisk -l seems to just never complete.
[07:10] <scorpka_> reinstal as 18.04, whats the problem?
[07:10] <knome> scorpka_, huh?
[07:10] <knome> plex_dave, have you tried with another computer to make sure the disk isn't broken?
[07:10] <plex_dave> yeah another laptop with 18.04 always detects it
[07:11] <knome> interesting...
[07:11] <scorpka_> twenty minuts for install 18.04
[07:11] <knome> scorpka_, reinstalling the system isn't really the only (or the right) thing to do in many cases...
[07:11] <plex_dave> This machine is in a podcast studio, in production. I am not trying to nuke a working system that I have set up just so.
[07:12] <scorpka_> in windows is actually always solved a problems
[07:12] <knome> scorpka_, linux isn't windows
[07:12] <plex_dave> The only thing that's different really here is that I have the RT kernel installed. But I am quite sure that this shouldn't cause it to not "see" one specific usb device
[07:12] <knome> plex_dave, and sorry for the silly question - you already said it worked elsewhere :P
[07:13] <plex_dave> no worries
[07:13] <knome> maybe it can create unexpected problems though
[07:13] <plex_dave> I even have the world's most obscure tablet running a hacked together version of kde neon and it sees the drive...
[07:13] <knome> you could try an RT kernel with the other machine and see if you can then reproduce...
[07:14] <plex_dave> I already tried using the non rt kernel on this machine from grub but that did not help.
[07:14] <knome> ahha, ok
[07:14] <knome> have you tried other USB ports?
[07:14] <knome> or do other USB devices work with this port with no problems?
[07:15] <plex_dave> Yes all my other devices work
[07:15] <plex_dave> I have plugged this thing into different ports on the hub, ports on the docking station, and directly into this laptop.
[07:15] <knome> which filesystem is this disk in?
[07:15] <plex_dave> ext4
[07:16] <plex_dave> It's for archival of old projects.
[07:16] <diogenes_> plex_dave, is this a new stick? has it even worked before on this machine?
[07:16] <plex_dave> Yes, sometimes I turn it on and it just shows right up
[07:17] <plex_dave> Oh it's not a stick, it's a hard drive in an enclosure
[07:17] <diogenes_> in order to exclude any missconfigs, i'd suggest to create a brand new user and see if it works there
[07:18] <plex_dave> I have several users on this machine, it does the same thing with all of them but I can give a fresh user a go.
[07:19] <diogenes_> it could be something even with the machine ports, one other thing you could try is to boot a live xubuntu from a usb/dvd and see if the problem still persists on this machine.
[07:20] <plex_dave> Oh man, if it's the ports, I will be quite unhappy. The thing is, I have it on a docking station and those ports have been tried as well.
[07:20] <mjgear23> I'm having issues with my sound output, no sound I installed a rx560 graphics card , I get video but in volume control it shows unplugged any ideas?
[07:21] <diogenes_> mjgear23, what is set in audio mixer > configuration tab?
[07:21] <plex_dave> mjgear: are you trying to send the sound out to hdmi or though another sound device?
, install another version driver
[07:22] <mjgear23> It shows that all connectios are unplugged
[07:22] <knome> i need to run now, good luck to everybody in finding out the solution to their issue
[07:23] <plex_dave> hey diogenes_ thanks for trying to help out. I am gonna try a few things, including buying another big drive.
[07:23] <diogenes_> plex_dave, no problems.
[07:23] <plex_dave> I would try to help with the sound thing, but I run JACK on my system. I hate pulseaudio with a passion lol
[07:24] <plex_dave> thanks again!
[07:24] <mjgear23> through the hdmi
[07:25] <mjgear23> OK
[14:49] <Samvel> Hi guys!
[14:49] <Samvel> is there anyone, who can help me with shut down down issue????
[14:50] <Samvel> please :)
[14:51] <GridCube> !ask Samvel
[14:51] <GridCube> !ask | Samvel
[14:54] <Samvel> Oh sorry :) so, i'v updated my PC to Xubuntu 18.04 and now i can't shut it down , tthank you
[14:54] <GridCube> what do you mean you can't shut it down?
[14:57] <Samvel> when i press shut down, system starts to turn off all systems, even hard drive is being turned off, but xubuntu logo stops to load and freezes
[15:00] <GridCube> Samvel: https://askubuntu.com/questions/764568/ubuntu-16-04-hangs-on-shutdown-restart
[23:28] <skarz> hello
[23:28] <skarz> do i have +v
[23:31] <drleviathan> what is "+v"?  how would we know if you did?
[23:32] <skarz_> haha
[23:32] <skarz_> on irc it's the permission you give to someone to talk
[23:33] <skarz_> some servers you have to wait until an operator gives you +v
[23:33] <Unit193> skarz_: You don't have it nor do you need it, nobody here does. :)
[23:33] <drleviathan> ah, good to know.  I've only been on freenode.
[23:35] <skarz_> does anyone know how i can install strongswan-plugin-openssl on ubuntu 17.10
[23:35] <skarz_> doesn't seem to be in the default respository
[23:36] <Unit193> libstrongswan-standard-plugins might be what you're looking for?
[23:37] <Unit193> Included:   - openssl (Crypto backend based on OpenSSL, provides
[23:37] <Unit193>     RSA/ECDSA/DH/ECDH/ciphers/hashers/HMAC/X.509/CRL/RNG)
[23:37] <skarz_> ill try it
[23:38] <skarz> can you say the name of that package again haha
[23:41] <Unit193> libstrongswan-standard-plugins
[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] <skarz> oh i guess sudo thunar would work
[23:50] <Unit193> `pkexec thunar` would be better off, but perhaps just copy the file instead?
[23:57] <skarz> wouldnt let me copy, had to open thunar with root permissions
