[07:07] 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] 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] drive doesn't show up in the disk utility [07:09] and when the drive isn't showing up in file manager, sudo fdisk -l seems to just never complete. [07:10] reinstal as 18.04, whats the problem? [07:10] scorpka_, huh? [07:10] plex_dave, have you tried with another computer to make sure the disk isn't broken? [07:10] yeah another laptop with 18.04 always detects it [07:11] interesting... [07:11] twenty minuts for install 18.04 [07:11] scorpka_, reinstalling the system isn't really the only (or the right) thing to do in many cases... [07:11] 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] in windows is actually always solved a problems [07:12] scorpka_, linux isn't windows [07:12] 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] plex_dave, and sorry for the silly question - you already said it worked elsewhere :P [07:13] no worries [07:13] maybe it can create unexpected problems though [07:13] I even have the world's most obscure tablet running a hacked together version of kde neon and it sees the drive... [07:13] you could try an RT kernel with the other machine and see if you can then reproduce... [07:14] I already tried using the non rt kernel on this machine from grub but that did not help. [07:14] ahha, ok [07:14] have you tried other USB ports? [07:14] or do other USB devices work with this port with no problems? [07:15] Yes all my other devices work [07:15] I have plugged this thing into different ports on the hub, ports on the docking station, and directly into this laptop. [07:15] which filesystem is this disk in? [07:15] ext4 [07:16] It's for archival of old projects. [07:16] plex_dave, is this a new stick? has it even worked before on this machine? [07:16] Yes, sometimes I turn it on and it just shows right up [07:17] Oh it's not a stick, it's a hard drive in an enclosure [07:17] in order to exclude any missconfigs, i'd suggest to create a brand new user and see if it works there [07:18] 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] 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] 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] 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] mjgear23, what is set in audio mixer > configuration tab? [07:21] mjgear: are you trying to send the sound out to hdmi or though another sound device? [07:22] , install another version driver [07:22] It shows that all connectios are unplugged [07:22] i need to run now, good luck to everybody in finding out the solution to their issue [07:23] hey diogenes_ thanks for trying to help out. I am gonna try a few things, including buying another big drive. [07:23] plex_dave, no problems. [07:23] 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] thanks again! [07:24] through the hdmi [07:25] OK === Israphel is now known as Guest78148 === Israphel_ is now known as Israphel [14:49] Hi guys!

I've only been on freenode. [23:35] does anyone know how i can install strongswan-plugin-openssl on ubuntu 17.10 [23:35] doesn't seem to be in the default respository [23:36] libstrongswan-standard-plugins might be what you're looking for? [23:37] Included: - openssl (Crypto backend based on OpenSSL, provides [23:37] RSA/ECDSA/DH/ECDH/ciphers/hashers/HMAC/X.509/CRL/RNG) [23:37] ill try it [23:38] can you say the name of that package again haha [23:41] libstrongswan-standard-plugins [23:48] 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] oh i guess sudo thunar would work [23:50] `pkexec thunar` would be better off, but perhaps just copy the file instead? [23:57] wouldnt let me copy, had to open thunar with root permissions
