| oerheks | i disagree with your negative attitude | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| linux_noob4 | by that I mean *how* it's going to install "alongside" windows. a partition overview would be nice. you can hardly ever be too verbose and descriptive when over-writing data and resizing partitions | 00:01 |
| Nordo | hello? | 00:02 |
| Nordo | which file system i should use on ubuntu? ext4? | 00:02 |
| Mibix | damn you lose space going from ntfs to ext4 | 00:02 |
| Mibix | yes Nordo | 00:02 |
| oerheks | ext4 is standard, so yes. | 00:02 |
| linux_noob4 | Nordo, if you're new, yes, it's fine | 00:02 |
| qwert | may i ask how to bind a folder? | 00:03 |
| qwert | im trying to follow the last part of this https://askubuntu.com/questions/251624/set-default-folders-to-external-hdd-permanently?noredirect=1&lq=1 | 00:05 |
| oerheks | so you follow an answer without green ballot | 00:07 |
| Nordo | is 60GiBs for ubuntu enough? | 00:07 |
| linux_noob4 | Nordo, for most, maybe. depends on what all you want to install and work with | 00:09 |
| Nordo | for some reason, sda4 (which is ubuntu) doesnt appear when i select "something else" although i applied the operations | 00:11 |
| linux_noob4 | qwert, proper way is the userdir way. i did this before just symlinking, had no issue | 00:12 |
| qwert | linux_noob4: is that so... | 00:13 |
| linux_noob4 | qwert, yes, unless i was just imagining that it worked | 00:13 |
| qwert | linux_noob4: are u referring to the topmost answer on the link? | 00:14 |
| linux_noob4 | qwert, yes. in nautilus you can just right-click and make link, then cut that folder, paste to your new directory | 00:15 |
| Nordo | for some reason, sda4 (which is ubuntu) doesnt appear when i select "something else" although i applied the operations | 00:15 |
| qwert | linux_noob4: tnx,i hope it remains after a reboot. | 00:15 |
| linux_noob4 | Nordo, for some reason you said this twice. maybe it wasn't applied | 00:16 |
| Nordo | well if u noticed it, why didnt u reply :P | 00:16 |
| linux_noob4 | qwert, should. linux doesn't have a habit of deleting symlinks unless you ask it | 00:16 |
| linux_noob4 | Nordo, i don't use ubuntu, maybe once or twice, not an expert there | 00:17 |
| linux_noob4 | i'm here because it's a more active linux channel | 00:17 |
| Nordo | https://imgur.com/a/JMQF7oj | 00:17 |
| Nordo | ah | 00:18 |
| Nordo | what do u use? | 00:18 |
| linux_noob4 | Nordo, make sure you set ubuntu as active and boot. i use antergos | 00:18 |
| linux_noob4 | ubuntu is fine but i wanted to try kde, which is great | 00:19 |
| Nordo | how do i do that linux_noob4? | 00:19 |
| linux_noob4 | Nordo, right-click on gparted and set it. if you do though, to get windows back you'll have to do a fixmbr. much easier if you have an extra ssd to install each to an ssd and use your bios to choose | 00:21 |
| linux_noob4 | Nordo, by "windows back" i mean to boot by itself | 00:21 |
| Nordo | look i aint an expert | 00:22 |
| Nordo | i just want to install ubuntu dual-booted with windows 7, i get confused alot | 00:22 |
| Nordo | so you meant if i install ubuntu, there will be no boot loader to select if i want to boot windows 7 or ubunt/u | 00:23 |
| linux_noob4 | Nordo, not sure your setup so don't want to give specific advice. you could overwrite windows if not careful. but do it the easy way, as ubuntu wants, should be safe and you'll have grub bootloader | 00:24 |
| linux_noob4 | ubuntu's installer is safer than windows, it won't/shouldn't blast your other os | 00:25 |
| Nordo | k | 00:25 |
| Nordo | ok | 00:25 |
| Nordo | now | 00:25 |
| Nordo | please, could you stay and help me a little bit | 00:25 |
| Nordo | i know that you aint using ubuntu alot | 00:25 |
| Nordo | look | 00:26 |
| linux_noob4 | i'll be here a while | 00:26 |
| Nordo | i want to install ubuntu, now, when i went to installation type, i couldnt see the partition i created for ubuntu, how can i fix this? | 00:27 |
| linux_noob4 | you went to "something else"? | 00:28 |
| Nordo | yes | 00:28 |
| linux_noob4 | Nordo, if your windows install is on that same drive, it should see it. if not, create a new ext4 file system and make it / (root) | 00:29 |
| Nordo | i did create a new ext4 file system | 00:30 |
| linux_noob4 | you might want a swap partition also or you can do it after install | 00:30 |
| Nordo | but im not sure if i did that (root) thing | 00:30 |
| linux_noob4 | Nordo, did you verify it? with what if you did? | 00:30 |
| Nordo | i did it with gparted | 00:30 |
| linux_noob4 | Nordo, when you create a new ext4 partition you should set it as /, the base install directory. linux can use different directories for things like swap, boot, home, etc this is why it doesn't autocreate it as root | 00:31 |
| Nordo | nope i didnt do that, should i remove that partition then create a new one? | 00:32 |
| linux_noob4 | Nordo, so gparted sees your ext4 partition, the installer doesn't? you sure you applied the partition changes? | 00:32 |
| Nordo | yes | 00:32 |
| Nordo | i did apply the operations | 00:32 |
| linux_noob4 | Nordo, no, just make it root. as long as it's ext4 now, that's fine | 00:32 |
| === guiverc_t is now known as guiverc_d | ||
| Nordo | how can i make it root? | 00:33 |
| linux_noob4 | Nordo, usually some sort of context menu option. been a while, i forgot | 00:33 |
| Nordo | manage flags? | 00:34 |
| Nordo | i did right click and saw this | 00:34 |
| linux_noob4 | Nordo, if ubuntu gave you the option to install alongside windows, that should be fine. backup first if needed just in case. that's the easiest instead of doing manual install like this | 00:34 |
| Nordo | okay, but, what does ubuntu do in this situation, does it create a partition itself and installs itself? | 00:35 |
| linux_noob4 | Nordo, yep, manage flags might need to be set but usually it's autoset if you set your ext4 as root on install, i believe | 00:35 |
| linux_noob4 | Nordo, i believe so | 00:35 |
| Nordo | i hope i dont ruin anything | 00:35 |
| Nordo | should i delete the partition i created? | 00:36 |
| linux_noob4 | Nordo, if you're asking these questions and your windows partition is important, you should not do it or backup your windows files then. chances are the defaults are fine but if manually installing as a noob, wise to back it up | 00:37 |
| linux_noob4 | Nordo, you can, doesn't matter | 00:37 |
| Nordo | i dont have any external drive to extract files to | 00:37 |
| linux_noob4 | bitwise nothing will change if you delete and create it again | 00:37 |
| linux_noob4 | Nordo, there's free cloud services to back up to | 00:38 |
| rorqual | Hi all, I'd like to know how much packages are available in Ubuntu repositories. | 00:39 |
| Nordo | wow, so much confusing, i just wanted to try the thing, | 00:39 |
| linux_noob4 | Nordo, do you have a spare usb flash drive? unlike windows, you can install on flash | 00:39 |
| linux_noob4 | of course it'll be slower on flash | 00:39 |
| Nordo | well, ill see about that | 00:40 |
| Nordo | thank you for bothering with me | 00:40 |
| Nordo | i really apperciate that | 00:40 |
| rorqual | I know that the Debian distribution repository is considered to be one of the largest, or the largest of all. I want to know if the repository for ubuntu is larger, the same size in terms of the number of packages, that the Debian repository | 00:40 |
| linux_noob4 | Nordo, no prob. if you really want to install, i can guide you through but i don't know exactly where you started | 00:40 |
| linux_noob4 | windows makes it easy because it'll obliterate any os's on the drive, not being kind as to giving you options to protect other os's | 00:42 |

| syb0rg | Guest38205, probably depends on the issue you run into. just make sure your data is backed up if you are afraid of something happening | 02:46 |
| Guest38205 | Yeah, for instance lost of power | 02:46 |
| syb0rg | well it could cause problems, which would need to be repaired on a case by case basis | 02:47 |
| syb0rg | if you want, you can make a full system backup | 02:47 |
| syb0rg | then restore that if anything happens | 02:47 |
| creater | hah, sysbackup is only enoguh if u dont go back in time with it | 02:48 |
| syb0rg | creater, I dunno what you are trying to accomplish, but you can get a vps very cheap | 02:48 |

| snaphelp | hey | 05:46 |
| snaphelp | So I can't find anything that really answers what I'm after | 05:46 |
| snaphelp | Where do snaps store data? | 05:47 |
| snaphelp | Like, I'm installing nextcloud as a snap and I want to be able to back up all my data | 05:47 |
| snaphelp | I am %4000 lost | 05:48 |
| syb0rg | snaphelp, is it in your home directory perhaps? I do not use snaps, so this is only a guess. | 05:49 |
| guiverc_d | snaphelp, i'm no expert either; but I think its up to the programmer (if legacy snap; confined snaps have severe limits on what they can do; so it varies on type of snap) | 05:50 |
| syb0rg | snaphelp, looks like config files are generally stored in ~/snap/ | 05:51 |
| syb0rg | data is probably stored wherever the app thinks it should be, like guiverc_d said. Which again is likely in your home directory | 05:51 |
| Bumgx | Wrong again | 05:52 |
| syb0rg | and maybe look in /var/snap/ | 05:53 |

| syb0rg | eh it doesn't matter much snaphelp, it isn't like he is a very effective troll to begin with and it is pretty dead | 06:06 |
| syb0rg | so was the data you were looking for in /var? | 06:07 |
| snaphelp | in /var/snap | 06:07 |
| syb0rg | cool | 06:07 |
| snaphelp | ayy I can set a external datadirectory | 06:07 |
| jada | hey, I just installed latest Ubuntu 18.04, looking for some ways to customize look & feel. How od I go about it? I want to switch it to light/white colors | 06:08 |
| lotuspsychje | !themes | jada | 06:08 |
| ubottu | jada: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://freecode.com/tags/theme - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy | 06:08 |
| lotuspsychje | jada: see also deviantart.com alot of nice ideas there | 06:09 |
| jada | do I need some app first? like unity-tweak-tool or something similar? | 06:09 |
| lotuspsychje | jada: gnome-tweak-tool can also make it easy switching themes for you | 06:09 |
| jada | I've been playing with themes on 15 and 16.04 | 06:09 |
| snaphelp | lotuspsychje: don't suggest deviantart | 06:09 |
| snaphelp | its.... yea. | 06:09 |
| syb0rg | deviant, one might say? Hmm? | 06:10 |
| lotuspsychje | snaphelp: dont tell me what to do | 06:10 |
| snaphelp | lotuspsychje: Same back at you. | 06:10 |
| snaphelp | syb0rg: it's changed its name by the way, now goes by Fredsaxx | 06:11 |
| snaphelp | syb0rg: Snaps seem to handle lots of IO well | 06:16 |
| syb0rg | really, why would they have an advantage with high IO? Or are you just glad they aren't limited in that sense? | 06:17 |
| snaphelp | glad they're not limited | 06:19 |
| snaphelp | I'm going to setup a snap inside of a LXC container | 06:19 |
| snaphelp | This way I have the best of both worlds | 06:19 |
| snaphelp | that or just use snaps raw | 06:19 |
| lotuspsychje | !discuss | 06:19 |
| ubottu | Want to talk about Ubuntu, but don't have a support question? /join #ubuntu-discuss for non-support Ubuntu discussion, or try #ubuntu-offtopic for general chat. Thanks! | 06:19 |
| snaphelp | lotuspsychje: The channel is %100 dead right now. | 06:20 |
| snaphelp | Why not go feed the troll? | 06:20 |
| lotuspsychje | snaphelp: no reason to use it as chitchat | 06:20 |
| syb0rg | at least it is ubuntu related chit chat | 06:21 |
| snaphelp | ^ | 06:21 |
| snaphelp | syb0rg: I was about to ask you, how do you handle backing up and securing your machine? | 06:21 |
| lotuspsychje | syb0rg, snaphelp no check the !guidelines this chanel is for ubuntu support only | 06:21 |
| snaphelp | lotuspsychje: Please do not nick alert me any further. | 06:22 |
| syb0rg | for security, I just use a firewall and try to do web stuff in vms, backups I do manually and with syncing between machines, but my current setup for backups is realy a work in progress | 06:22 |
| snaphelp | It's annoying as i have the window open and focused at all times. | 06:22 |
| syb0rg | anyway since we are bugging lotuspsychje I will switch to ubuntu-offtopic | 06:22 |
| snaphelp | I'll join you so he stops incessently nick alerting me and trying to boss me around. | 06:23 |
| snaphelp | Also, lotuspsychje don't tell me what to do while you're not nick alerting me. Thanks. | 06:23 |
| lotuspsychje | snaphelp: then stop using this channel for chitchat | 06:23 |
| syb0rg | eh he's being a bit overzealous at worst, he just wants to keep the channel on topic. I can respect that :) | 06:23 |
| snaphelp | lotuspsychje: Again. Stop nick alerting me before I simply /ignore you. | 06:23 |
| snaphelp | syb0rg: I can't join, not +r and not planning on going +r | 06:24 |
| snaphelp | syb0rg: Do we have a public grsecurity hardened kernel for ubuntu or no? | 06:25 |
| syb0rg | I'm gonna stay on topic snaphelp, I chat here semi often so I'd rather not have ill will from regulars here. They do tend to focus on being on-topic here | 06:26 |
| snaphelp | syb0rg: hardened kernels for ubuntu are ot | 06:27 |
| syb0rg | sorta but you aren't really asking for support now, you're just chatting. Get that +r if you want to go on the social channels =P | 06:28 |
| snaphelp | syb0rg: ok, how would I go about compiling a hardened kernel from source? | 06:29 |
| syb0rg | no idea, never done that. Sounds like a fun project though | 06:30 |
| snaphelp | /msg NickServ VERIFY REGISTER snaphelp zsbergrhnbxs | 06:31 |
| syb0rg | hmmmm. Might wanna change that pass asap, lol. | 06:31 |
| ikonia | snaphelp: in what way is the kernel not secure enough for you now ? | 06:34 |
| snaphelp | ikonia: more of precautious / learning | 06:35 |
| snaphelp | grsecurity is historically good at protecting from 0days | 06:35 |
| ikonia | yeah, and no-one uses it | 06:37 |
| ikonia | for a pretty good reason | 06:37 |
| snaphelp | [citation required] | 06:39 |
| snaphelp | ikonia: I know the controversial developers | 06:39 |
| ikonia | controversial developers ? | 06:40 |
| snaphelp | they behave like spoiled brats | 06:41 |
| snaphelp | one dropped a (selinux?) 0day | 06:41 |
| snaphelp | on twitter... | 06:41 |
| ikonia | snaphelp: have you ever built any ubuntu package before ? | 06:42 |
| snaphelp | Not a package but I did once successfully re-compile my kernel | 06:43 |
| snaphelp | I'm up to learning | 06:43 |
| ikonia | snaphelp: I would strongly suggestion take approx 10 steps backwards then one step forward | 06:43 |
| ikonia | your first build shouldn't be "how do I build a more secure kernel, I have no idea why I'd want to do this, but I do" | 06:43 |
| provolik | Hello, a new day has just started and a new issue has just arrived | 06:44 |
| snaphelp | ikonia: I like going in headfirst into a pool with no water | 06:45 |
| snaphelp | more fun that way | 06:45 |
| ikonia | it's time wasting for other people and doesn't really give you credibility as someone who wants to learn | 06:45 |
| provolik | I have Xubuntu 16.04 and I cannot upgrade or dist-upgrade anymore because there's a damaged package: libtag1-vanilla | 06:45 |
| ikonia | what do you mean by damaged package | 06:46 |
| chong | \quit | 06:46 |
| provolik | I don't know, it's the system message, but the message is my language so I don't know if you could understand it | 06:46 |
| provolik | I am trying to find the correct message sent by an english ubuntu | 06:47 |
| snaphelp | ikonia: How is it time wasting for others? | 06:47 |
| snaphelp | ikonia: if you don't want to help simply don't help. | 06:47 |
| snaphelp | Don't discourage learning | 06:47 |
| ikonia | snaphelp: a doctor who on his first day of work says "I want to do brain surgery, thats how I learn" doesn't get help/respect | 06:48 |
| ikonia | snaphelp: doctors build up experience and become specialists, the same is true of learning linux, you build up experience and knowledge | 06:48 |
| ikonia | provolik: debugging it in a different lanaguage will be hard, have you tried removing the package ? | 06:49 |
| snaphelp | ikonia: The difference here? The only person's time that would get wasted would be mine | 06:49 |
| provolik | ikonia, yes | 06:49 |
| ikonia | snaphelp: no it's not, people trying to help you would be wasted | 06:50 |
| ikonia | provolik: what happens when you try to remove ? | 06:50 |
| provolik | ikonia, the message is: libtag1v5-vanilla : Breaks: libtag1-vanilla but 1.10-0ubuntu1~xenial0 is going to be installed. (translated by me) | 06:50 |
| provolik | after that: E: packages damaged | 06:50 |
| snaphelp | ikonia: So people helping me learn something new is wasting their time? | 06:50 |
| ikonia | Hmmmm | 06:50 |
| ikonia | !info libtag1v5-vanilla | 06:50 |
| snaphelp | Then don't help me... | 06:50 |
| ubottu | libtag1v5-vanilla (source: taglib): audio meta-data library - vanilla flavour. In component main, is optional. Version 1.11.1+dfsg.1-0.2build2 (bionic), package size 283 kB, installed size 1073 kB | 06:50 |
| ikonia | snaphelp: people helping you do something you're out of your league on, is, people helping you learn by building up to it is real value | 06:51 |
| ikonia | provolik: that doesn't strike me as something that would "break" ubuntu, one moment please | 06:51 |
| ikonia | !info libtag1-vanilla | 06:52 |
| ubottu | Package libtag1-vanilla does not exist in bionic | 06:52 |
| provolik | ikonia, ubuntu is working, simply I cannot upgrade (or dist-upgrade) it | 06:52 |
| ikonia | provolik: can you try to remove remove libtag1-vanilla | 06:52 |
| ikonia | provolik: I mean removing that pacakge wouln't break ubuntu | 06:52 |
| ikonia | provolik: and if the package manager is not working/blocked, thats not a great working state | 06:53 |
| provolik | ikonia, I tried with: sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq libtag1v5-vanilla | 06:53 |
| snaphelp | ikonia: You're assuming it's out of my leauge without knowing any of my history. | 06:53 |
| snaphelp | ikonia: you're wasting more of your time saying it's a waste of your time than actually attempting to help | 06:53 |
| ikonia | snaphelp: you've never build a package before, you told me that yourself, and in #uuntu-offtopic you're saying you want to do basic linux courses | 06:53 |
| ikonia | snaphelp: so I have reasonable idea of your history | 06:53 |
| snaphelp | ikonia: basic IT courses. | 06:53 |
| snaphelp | ikonia: I've stated I've managed to build the kernel in the past | 06:54 |
| ikonia | provolik: that's interesting approach, what happened ? | 06:54 |
| snaphelp | ikonia: so no, you really don't have any idea of my history. | 06:54 |
| ikonia | snaphelp: well done typing makemenu config, make deps and make build isn't really hard | 06:54 |
| provolik | ikonia, after that command the system sais that the package cannot be removed beacuse of the dependecies | 06:54 |
| ikonia | snaphelp: ok, I dont | 06:55 |
| snaphelp | ikonia: Again, you've wasted more time telling me its a waste of your time than actually helping. | 06:55 |
| snaphelp | While also making bold statements | 06:55 |
| ikonia | provolik: does it lift the dependencies ? | 06:55 |
| ikonia | snaphelp: ok, lets stop talking about it | 06:55 |
| snaphelp | I'll keep discussing building the kernel from source | 06:56 |
| snaphelp | just not with you | 06:56 |
| provolik | ikonia, do you know how can I know? | 06:56 |
| ikonia | snaphelp: not in here you won't | 06:56 |
| ikonia | snaphelp: that's not this channels support window | 06:56 |
| ikonia | provolik: sure, I was expecting it to give you a list with the removal | 06:56 |
| ikonia | provolik: ahh hang on, you removed the wrong package | 06:56 |
| snaphelp | ikonia: If I need help finding certain packages I can more than ask in here | 06:57 |
| ikonia | provolik: try removing libtag1-vanilla | 06:57 |
| ikonia | snaphelp: you can certainly ask for package help | 06:57 |
| ikonia | snaphelp: you can also use packages.ubuntu.com | 06:57 |
| provolik | ikonia, ok | 06:57 |
| snaphelp | ikonia: Never heard of that one, always used apt-cache | 06:57 |
| ikonia | snaphelp: use whatever you want | 06:58 |
| provolik | ikonia, it says that it's not installed | 06:58 |
| ikonia | provolik: so that's interesting, so removing the first package says it breaks that one, but it also says that package is not installed | 06:59 |
| ikonia | so I think that's the problem | 06:59 |
| provolik | ikonia, libtag1v5 and libtag1v5-vanilla are installed | 06:59 |
| zamba | god damn.. sometimes apt can be do damn dumb | 06:59 |
| snaphelp | Anyways I'm gonna be back. It's 3am here. | 06:59 |

| zamba | Setting up mysql-server-5.7 (5.7.22-0ubuntu0.16.04.1) ... | 06:59 |
| zamba | why is it setting up mysql-server when it's supposed to be removing it? | 07:00 |
| ikonia | provolik: try apt-cache rdepends apt-cache rdepends | 07:00 |
| ikonia | oops | 07:00 |
| zamba | mysql_upgrade: Got error: 1045: Access denied for user 'debian-sys-maint'@'localhost' (using password: YES) while connecting to the MySQL server | 07:00 |
| snaphelp | zamba: If you want a pleasant drop in alternative to mysql there's always mariadb | 07:00 |
| ikonia | provolik: try apt-cache rdepends libtag1v5 | 07:00 |
| provolik | ikonia, trying | 07:00 |
| snaphelp | zamba: Just putting that out there. Wont solve your problem, just nice to know | 07:00 |
| zamba | snaphelp: problem was that netmrg seemingly required mysql | 07:00 |
| provolik | ikonia, https://pastebin.com/V6Qxmvis | 07:01 |
| ikonia | provolik: ok, a lot more than expected | 07:02 |
| provolik | ikonia, I thinks so :-/ | 07:02 |
| ikonia | provolik: /last provolik | 07:02 |
| ikonia | oops | 07:02 |
| ikonia | !info libtag1-vanilla | 07:02 |
| ubottu | Package libtag1-vanilla does not exist in bionic | 07:02 |
| ikonia | provolik: what happens if you do a remove against libtag1-vanilla | 07:03 |
| provolik | ikonia, it says that it's not installed | 07:03 |
| ikonia | provolik: so why does it think it depends on that package, that's not even listed in the depends list | 07:05 |
| provolik | ikonia, maybe I have to install it? | 07:05 |
| ikonia | provolik: that pacakge doesn't show up in the ubuntu package version for any distro release | 07:05 |
| ikonia | provolik: are you using any 3rd party repos/ppa's | 07:05 |
| ikonia | actually, it does, sorry, I'm wrong | 07:06 |
| provolik | ikonia, okay I tried to reinstall the package libtag1v5-vanilla but it didn't help | 07:07 |
| ikonia | provolik: ahhh wait | 07:07 |
| ikonia | provolik: was this box a trusty box once ? | 07:07 |
| provolik | ikonia, sorry I cannot understand what you are saying | 07:08 |
| ikonia | provolik: was this box once ubuntu 14.04 that you upgrade | 07:08 |
| provolik | ikonia, I don't think so | 07:08 |
| ikonia | provolik: that package was only ever shipped in ubuntu 14.04 | 07:09 |
| provolik | ikonia, but all is possible in this world :-D | 07:09 |
| ikonia | provolik: can you do dpkg -l | grep libtag1 | 07:10 |
| ikonia | provolik: put it in a pastebin | 07:10 |
| provolik | ikonia, https://pastebin.com/H3AhJWz2 | 07:10 |

| ikonia | nifker: how are you writing to a file | 07:17 |
| provolik | ikonia, https://askubuntu.com/questions/1047948/cant-upgrade-ubuntu-16-04 <-- same issue here | 07:17 |
| provolik | ikonia, the messages will be in my language but I am going to do it | 07:17 |
| ikonia | provolik: thats ok, | 07:17 |
| nifker | ikonia: it could be an issue with my programm but Im using rusts https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/io/struct.BufWriter.html | 07:18 |
| ikonia | provolik: so that looks like an external repo, that's why I've just asked you for the command to see what you've currently got enxabled | 07:18 |
| provolik | ikonia, https://pastebin.com/K3dMxJ8f | 07:19 |

| ikonia | provolik: so you have a trusty repo | 07:19 |
| nifker | ikonia: yes | 07:19 |
| ikonia | provolik: this box was either once a trusty box, or you have manually added a bad repo | 07:19 |
| provolik | ikonia, do I have to remove it? | 07:20 |
| ArchaicLord | Hi everyone, I am having trouble installing ubuntu 18.04 onto an Asus UX305C. I have USB 2 SanDisc which I used Unetbootin to write the ubuntu desktop iso to. I boot from the usb. When I choose install option instead of install it take me to the live environment to try Ubutnu. When I click the instal disk nothing happens. | 07:20 |
| ikonia | nifker: so bad file description is normally (in your context) the call to the api/hook to write the actual file doesn't exit/is invalid | 07:20 |
| ikonia | nifker: the guys in the programming channels can help you understand that and how to resolve it in more detail | 07:20 |
| ikonia | provolik: Trovato:18 http://ppa.launchpad.net/fengestad/stable/ubuntu wily InRelease | 07:20 |
| ikonia | provolik: you also have a wily PPA installed and confiured | 07:20 |
| ikonia | provolik: Trovato:20 http://repo.steampowered.com/steam precise InRelease | 07:21 |
| ikonia | provolik: and a precise repo | 07:21 |
| provolik | ikonia, I think the first is eventually the problem | 07:21 |
| ikonia | provolik: your repo setup is a mess | 07:21 |
| ikonia | provolik: I think you're whole repo setup is a problem | 07:21 |
| provolik | ikonia, okay, what I have to do then? Removing or what? | 07:22 |
| ikonia | provolik: comment out all non-xenial repos | 07:22 |
| provolik | ikonia, ok | 07:22 |
| EriC^^ | ArchaicLord: try starting the installer from the terminal using "ubiquity" | 07:24 |
| arima9965 | tes | 07:26 |
| arima9965 | anybody here? | 07:26 |
| ikonia | many people | 07:27 |
| ArchaicLord | EriC^^ How do I do that? | 07:27 |
| EriC^^ | ArchaicLord: press ctrl+alt+t to open a terminal and type in ubiquity | 07:27 |
| provolik | ikonia, done | 07:28 |
| ArchaicLord | nothing | 07:28 |
| arima9965 | ok | 07:29 |
| edmoore | hi, i'm on 17.10 and wish to upgrade to 18.04. `do-release-upgrade` does nothing (presumably because it's waiting for 18.04.1), and `do-release-upgrade -d` wants to give me 18.10 | 07:29 |
| edmoore | is there some intermediate incantation to get me 18.04? | 07:29 |
| Ben64 | edmoore: what's the output of "lsb_release -c" | 07:31 |
| edmoore | bionic Ben64 | 07:32 |
| Ben64 | that's 18.04 | 07:33 |
| provolik | ikonia, good, now I have just upgrade, but anyway some packages are marked as not upgraded: libtagc0 mixxx | 07:33 |
| ikonia | provolik: because you have mixed repos | 07:34 |
| provolik | ikonia, is there a possible solution? | 07:34 |
| ikonia | provolik: stop using mixed repos | 07:34 |
| provolik | ikonia, this will be upgrade those packages? | 07:35 |
| ikonia | provolik: depends on where they came from | 07:35 |
| provolik | ikonia, okay thanks | 07:36 |
| ArchaicLord | ahh so after 50 attempts ubiquity gives an internal error says ubiquity not installed but I can see ubiquity in /usr/lib/ubiquity/bin/ on the usb | 07:38 |
| ArchaicLord | instal ubuntu from USB ubiquity gives an internal error says ubiquit not installed but I can see ubiquity in /usr/lib/ubiquity/bin/ on the usb | 07:47 |

| Bluewolf | Good day all. I'm running Ubuntu Gnome 16.04, I keep getting ads appearing on my notifications every so often or after startup, this started after updates I assume. Does anyone know how I can stop them? | 08:31 |
| guiverc_d | Bluewolf, adverts to buy stuff? | 08:39 |
| EriC^^ | tomeaton17: if you mount it from the file manager it shouldn't need root anymore | 08:39 |
| Bluewolf | guiverc_d: Ah not all the time. The last was, To claim a Samsung S7 or something which I had so called won | 08:41 |
| guest | what is the best way to set password to external hard drive in ubuntu ? | 08:41 |
| Bluewolf | There not showing on the notifications after that | 08:41 |
| EriC^^ | Bluewolf: sounds like some app is causing those ads, i dont think ubuntu does that by default | 08:41 |
| EriC^^ | guest: encrypt the drive? | 08:42 |
| guest | EriC^^: i dont want to encrype it , i just want to set password | 08:42 |
| guiverc_d | Bluewolf, standard Ubuntu & all apps in any repo I can't imagine doing it, have you installed other non-standard apps/repos/ppas? | 08:42 |
| guest | it is possible to set password without encrypting it ? | 08:43 |
| venn_ | Hello World! | 08:43 |
| guiverc_d | (logs of what you installed etc. can be found in /var/log/apt/ - for when you forget what/when you installed stuff) | 08:44 |
| venn_ | umm | 08:44 |
| Bluewolf | EriC^^: guiverc_d: I don't explore much on apps. I've not installed any non-standard apps as far as I know. All I have on is things like - VLC, Audacity, Battle.net (Blizzard Entertainment - Which is unlikely to have adds) and wine | 08:45 |
| Bluewolf | Unless there is something else which has been added, is there a way to check what apps are installed? | 08:45 |
| Bluewolf | To help solve this or are there any other suggestions? | 08:45 |
| venn_ | To remember it XD | 08:45 |
| EriC^^ | guest: you can't set a password, i'm not sure if there's a way that users not in a certain group can't mount drives, but it's pretty trivial to bypass it anyways if you have physical access | 08:46 |
| guest | EriC^^: then best way of doing it is by using cryptsetup? | 08:47 |
| guiverc_d | i'm wondering if some starnge gnome-addon (extension) could have done it; but I suspect if one had it'd be blogged about heaps & i'd have read of it.. even a browser extension can (not sure about gnome on 16.04) sent notifications to OS/gnome - I'd probably check there first (whatever browser was running @ time of advert appearing; if one was) | 08:47 |
| EriC^^ | Bluewolf: you could start by checking if any ppa's are installed, cat /etc/apt/sources.list and tail -n +1 /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* | 08:48 |
| EriC^^ | guest: yeah you can use luks to encrypt it or if encfs if you just want to encrypt a dir | 08:48 |
| guest | thanks | 08:53 |
| Bluewolf | EriC^^: Oh wait, I think I may have found something. An app, Makehuman, I just remembered having it on my PC when I was helping a friend. I removed it though. | 08:54 |
| Bluewolf | Do I delete those files in cat /etc/apt/sources.list folder? | 08:54 |
| EriC^^ | Bluewolf: no | 08:54 |

| Rojola | I would like to install "cordova" on Ubuntu 18.04. I found many websites explaining how to install cordova, and all of them want me to install the package "python-software-properties" as first step | 09:20 |

| kubast2 | On 4.15 kernel | 10:38 |
| kindeljan | mangold | 10:38 |

| guiverc_d | lessless_, i know nothing about erlang; but the dep you listed only exists for 18.04 in standard repos; many blogs tell you how to install (eg. https://tecadmin.net/install-erlang-on-ubuntu/) for 16.04 - maybe try one of those. (it doesn't say version, it was only the first from duckduckgo) [adding files intended for other versions isn't recommended which is why I've chosen this answer) | 10:58 |
| lessless_ | guiverc_d thanks. I suppose it's jus a matter of figuring out why my system wants those 18.x packages | 10:59 |
| kubast2 | Works rn BluesKaj installed proprietary nvidia drivers | 11:01 |
| guiverc_d | lessless_, the 16.04 erlang (https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/erlang) has package name 1:18.3 - which maybe means its -18 [package; so maybe you didn't use default version; updated with another ppa/repo (another page I looked at suggested using a non-std source).. and used non-Ubuntu tools to update? (like python can use `pip` maybe) - sorry I don't know | 11:08 |

| ppf | you've come to the right place | 12:53 |
| gnulligan | I'm setting up an ubuntu + windows + clonezille triple boot system on UEFI | 12:54 |
| gnulligan | ppf: :D | 12:54 |
| gnulligan | and I want all the entries to be in NVRAM | 12:54 |
| gnulligan | but the default NVRAM entry will be grub, and give me the option to load whichever OS I want | 12:54 |
| gnulligan | So I installed windows to take up 100GB, then use disk management in windows to make a 300mb clonezilla fat32 partition, then rebooted and installed ubuntu manually to a 100gb ext4 partition | 12:56 |
| gnulligan | and I set ONLY that partition to be bootable | 12:56 |
| gnulligan | then I rebooted into windows and extracted the clonezilla.zip file to the clonezilla partition | 12:57 |
| gnulligan | after I reboot, only clonezilla and windwos show up as entries in the NVRAM | 12:57 |
| gnulligan | no ubuntu | 12:57 |
| ppf | what do you mean by entry | 12:57 |
| gnulligan | I bet it's because ubuntu is ext4 | 12:57 |
| gnulligan | ppf: in the uefi. If I press F12 during boot I can change uefi settings and see bootable devices | 12:58 |
| gnulligan | I think the problem is UEFI only supports reading fat-formatted devices | 12:58 |
| ppf | are you sure you installed ubuntu in EFI mode? | 12:58 |
| gnulligan | no, the installer gave me very few options | 12:59 |
| gnulligan | I could make a partition, choose FS, choose mount point | 12:59 |
| gnulligan | but thats it | 12:59 |
| ppf | were you at any point booted into ubuntu? | 12:59 |
| gnulligan | only the live system | 13:00 |
| gnulligan | never again, because no entry in uefi | 13:00 |
| gnulligan | I think this depends on how the ESP works | 13:00 |
| gnulligan | which I need to read up on lol... | 13:01 |
| ppf | okay. can you switch to legacy bios? | 13:01 |
| gnulligan | that would kill windows | 13:01 |
| ppf | and see if you can boot ubuntu? | 13:01 |
| ppf | well you can switch back at any point | 13:01 |
| gnulligan | hmmm | 13:01 |
| gnulligan | I'm worried about windows there lol... just switching to legacy won't write to the disk at all right? | 13:02 |
| ppf | i'm not sure what you did during setup, but in efi mode it should have created an efi partition for your boot loader | 13:03 |
| ppf | which it looks like it didn't | 13:03 |

| gnulligan | ppf: sorry I was reading up on ESP | 13:06 |
| gnulligan | that has to be fat32-formatted right? | 13:06 |
| ppf | yes | 13:06 |

| qwebirc71398 | This leaves me unable to use the keyboard of the device until the combination stops being triggered or I manually change the display brightness back to a non-zero value | 13:12 |
| fred__tv | Hi, 12.04+lxde+autologin , at boot desktop environment is displayed with no password , suddenly after months , this login page is displayed at boot: | 13:13 |
| gnulligan | ppf: ok yeah that's what I was afraid of | 13:13 |
| fred__tv | https://imagebin.ca/v/46A9gpo5UiYu | 13:13 |
| ppf | gnulligan: what is? | 13:14 |
| gnulligan | I didn't want to overwrite the entries for clonezilla or windows | 13:14 |
| newbiii | Hi people, I have no sound on my freshly installed bionic beaver. I did already the check suggested by the bot "troubleshooting" - every check he suggests is OK. when I try to play an mp3 file the pulsaudio volum control "pulses" displaying a picture as if something is played, but still no sound. I checked of course all the "mute" buttons everything is unmuted. Any help? -- | 13:14 |
| gnulligan | that's why I set the bootloader to the partition instead of the disk | 13:14 |
| fred__tv | no usual user is displayed, and if "more" is chosen and usual username/pass is typed , login fails | 13:14 |
| ppf | entries? | 13:15 |
| qwebirc71398 | @newbiii try alsamixer and make sure none of the channels are muted or at 0 volume | 13:15 |
| qwebirc71398 | On my laptop for some reason the headphone channel actually controls the speaker | 13:15 |
| ppf | gnulligan: boot into the lifesystem again and check the partition table | 13:16 |
| ppf | gnulligan: and when you're in there, check whether the system is booted in uefi mode ;) | 13:18 |
| ausjke | difference between 'apt update' vs 'apt-get update' ? I know apt-update is not good for scripting, just for command line interactive usage | 13:18 |
| gnulligan | ppf: I am sure it's uefi lol | 13:18 |
| ppf | ausjke: apt is the new-and-improved apt-get | 13:18 |
| gnulligan | ohhhh | 13:18 |
| gnulligan | wait | 13:18 |
| gnulligan | you mean the ubuntu live system | 13:18 |
| gnulligan | okok | 13:18 |
| ausjke | in my case, 'apt-get upgrade' will keep-back-packages, 'apt upgrade' will upgrade them | 13:18 |
| gnulligan | hmm | 13:18 |
| gnulligan | how do I so that? | 13:18 |
| newbiii | qwebirc71398: thanks, I remember now that last time (7 years ago) I also had to do this. The channels "front mi" and "line boo" are muted now. unmuting. | 13:18 |
| gnulligan | do I have to do "try ubuntu" and then bring up a shell? | 13:19 |
| ppf | ausjke: it's not "good for scripting" because the api might change | 13:19 |
| ppf | gnulligan: yes | 13:19 |
| ppf | ausjke: apt-get upgrade and apt upgrade should be identical | 13:19 |
| ausjke | ppf: not really, which is why i am asking here :) which is a big surprise | 13:19 |
| qwebirc71398 | is there a way to completely disable tbe brightness slider popup? | 13:19 |
| qwebirc71398 | in 18.04, gnome | 13:19 |
| gnulligan | ppf: how do I find out if the usb is in efi or mbr mode? | 13:20 |
| ppf | gnulligan: [ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo UEFI || echo BIOS | 13:20 |
| ausjke | my cron job uses apt-get and never upgraded a few packages, so i spent some time looking this morning and it turns out apt-get just kept them back, then i try 'apt' it then upgrades fine | 13:20 |
| ausjke | in the meantime i learned i should not use apt in scripts/crons | 13:21 |
| leftyfb | ausjke: um ... I don't think apt-get holding back packages and apt installing them is a thing | 13:21 |
| gnulligan | ok brb booting live system | 13:21 |
| leftyfb | ausjke: unless you're using dist-upgrade or the like with apt and not apt-get | 13:22 |
| qwebirc30362 | I need help burning a ubuntu iso dvd on mac | 13:24 |
| qwebirc30362 | It only makes one file not all the ones i need to boot. Onli one big iso file | 13:24 |
| ausjke | leftyfb: https://pastebin.com/JVdQNgsC | 13:24 |
| ausjke | leftyfb: no i did not use dist-upgrade, it's a fresh 1806 at digitalocean.com | 13:25 |
| qwebirc30362 | Any ideas? | 13:25 |
| ppf | qwebirc30362: you need to burn that to the dvd as an image, not as a file | 13:25 |
| leftyfb | ausjke: interesting | 13:25 |
| leftyfb | qwebirc30362: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto | 13:25 |
| leftyfb | qwebirc30362: first result on google for "ubuntu burn iso on mac" | 13:25 |
| ppf | ausjke: wtf | 13:26 |
| qwebirc30362 | I followed that | 13:26 |
| qwebirc30362 | Does not work | 13:26 |
| newbiii | <qwebirc: I unmuted all I could in Alsamixer. no progress. By the way what does it mean "00" in the bottom of each column? | 13:26 |
| leftyfb | qwebirc30362: define "Does not work" | 13:26 |
| ppf | ausjke: i had no idea. but the manpage says that's what it does | 13:26 |
| ppf | so apt upgrade != apt-get upgrade, and dist-upgrade != full-upgrade | 13:27 |
| qwebirc30362 | Disk utility burns the dvd but it is all in one file. Cant boot fromit | 13:27 |
| leftyfb | qwebirc30362: I would try #apple or #osx or something then | 13:27 |
| ausjke | apt upgrade != apt-get upgrade has consequences especially when people assume they'are == | 13:27 |
| sa_ | I’ve a ubuntu box on the network. Let us assume the login username and password for the ubuntu box known to multiple people, if multiple people logged into the ubuntu PC via windows machine using putty and ran few commands. Is there any way to know the history of commands ran by multiple windows putty clients(‘history’ command does not helped)? | 13:27 |
| ppf | ausjke: agreed | 13:28 |
| * ausjke switched apt-get to apt in scripts | 13:28 | |
| ppf | ausjke: but the manpage is quite clear, and it emits a warning when scripted. that's about all there is to do about it | 13:28 |
| ausjke | i will find apt/apt-get maintainer email and report | 13:29 |
| gnulligan | ppf: omg I booted the usb in bios mode | 13:29 |
| gnulligan | AND NOW THERE'S AN "INSTALL ALONGSIDE WINDOWS" OPTION | 13:29 |
| ppf | gnulligan: then you'll get an OS in bios mode too :) | 13:29 |
| gnulligan | hahah | 13:29 |
| gnulligan | no I mean | 13:29 |
| gnulligan | before | 13:29 |
| leftyfb | sa_: only after they log out | 13:29 |
| gnulligan | I installed under bios mode | 13:29 |
| gnulligan | and now in uefi mode | 13:30 |
| gnulligan | there's install alongside other oses | 13:30 |
| leftyfb | sa_: then their history will be written to history | 13:30 |
| gnulligan | so much easier omg | 13:30 |
| leftyfb | !enter | gnulligan | 13:30 |
| ubottu | gnulligan: Please try and keep as much of your info as possible on ONE line - easier to follow for everyone. | 13:30 |
| ppf | ausjke: sure. but i'm certain that's intentional and they weighed the consequences. especially since you ignored the warning ;) | 13:30 |
| ppf | also note that apt comes from upstream debian and is not an ubuntu product, so you should complain to the right person ;) | 13:31 |

| ppf | Original-Maintainer: APT Development Team <deity@lists.debian.org> | 13:33 |
| ausjke | yes | 13:33 |

| ausjke | hope i don't need subscribe to that list to report, anyway will email | 13:34 |

| gnulligan | ok so if I boot to usb in UEFI mode and choose "install alongside other OSes" what happens? | 13:42 |
| gnulligan | does it modify the uefi nvram? will it replace windows BCD with grub? | 13:42 |
| ppf | it'll create a new/use an existing efi partition to install grub | 13:42 |
| gnulligan | so it overwrites the ESP with grub, right? | 13:43 |
| newbiii | tomreyn: it is the same hardware, I just erased pangolin and installed beaver | 13:43 |
| ppf | it installs grub into the esp, yes | 13:43 |
| gnulligan | my goal is to keep separate entries in the UEFI NVRAM | 13:44 |
| gnulligan | of linux grub, clonezilla grub and windows BCD | 13:44 |
| ppf | that means you need efi partitions for each of them | 13:44 |
| tomreyn | newbiii: and itworked before? | 13:44 |
| ppf | which i don't think works? | 13:45 |
| gnulligan | ppf: ok, so when windows installed it added the ESP automatically | 13:45 |
| gnulligan | and with clonezilla I got lucky because I installed it to fat32 | 13:45 |
| ppf | yes | 13:46 |
| ppf | right now your ESP only contains the windows bootloader | 13:46 |
| ppf | you can't boot ubuntu with that | 13:46 |
| gnulligan | ppf: wait I think I have two ESPs | 13:46 |
| ppf | if you replace it with grub, you can boot all | 13:47 |
| ppf | why, how? | 13:47 |
| newbiii | tomreyn: yes it did | 13:47 |
| gnulligan | ppf: because I installed clonezilla in UEFI mode to a single fat32 partition, so the whole fat32 partition seems to contain both the ESP files and the root filesystem | 13:47 |
| === beaver is now known as evilnewbie | ||
| gnulligan | (I literally just unzipped clonezilla from windows and copy/pasted to the partition) | 13:48 |
| ppf | no, ESP is a partition | 13:48 |
| gnulligan | then why did that work? | 13:48 |
| gnulligan | I was following this guide: https://www.rmprepusb.com/tutorials/142---windows-restore-uefi | 13:49 |
| ppf | you install a boot loader into that partition, and UEFI runs that loader if you boot from this partition. but uefi knows how to run other boot loaders directly and bypass esp | 13:49 |
| skinux | How do I determine which display manager is running? | 13:50 |
| ppf | skinux: ps auxf | 13:50 |
| HexaByte | what's the equivalent of /etc/debian_version in ubuntu? | 13:50 |
| HexaByte | need to check which ubuntu it is | 13:50 |
| ppf | HexaByte: cat /etc/*-release | 13:50 |
| HexaByte | ah tn | 13:51 |
| HexaByte | x | 13:51 |
| ppf | that works on basicly every distro ;) | 13:51 |
| HexaByte | ppf: lol, that is correct | 13:51 |
| HexaByte | i never noticed | 13:51 |
| skinux | That's weird. It seems both LightDM and GDM are running | 13:52 |
| skinux | How is that possible | 13:52 |
| mikeymop | So I am trying to install a .deb on fedora | 13:52 |
| mikeymop | they have dpkg which I installed | 13:52 |
| mikeymop | and it installs fine | 13:52 |
| mikeymop | but How would I uninstall? since I dont have apt | 13:52 |
| ausjke | ubottu: thanks | 13:52 |
| ubottu | You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 13:52 |
| mikeymop | would I do remove and point it to the original .deb? | 13:52 |
| ausjke | ubottu: who wrote lines for you | 13:53 |
| ubottu | ausjke: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 13:53 |
| ppf | mikeymop: dpkg -r | 13:53 |
| gnulligan | ppf: ok, so if I delete the current ubuntu partition, restart into the usb in UEFI mode, and install manually I should be able to set up a third ESP, which will give me a third entry in the UEFI, right? What manual partitions do I create? | 13:53 |
| ppf | gnulligan: you don't need to delete it, you can just reinstall ubuntu over it | 13:53 |
| gnulligan | ESP and / at a minimum, right? I'm on a SSD so I'm going to add swap later with a HDD | 13:53 |
| skinux | How do I tell LIghtDM not to run? | 13:53 |
| ausjke | ubottu: ipsec | 13:53 |
| gnulligan | ppf: lol I already deleted it from windows | 13:54 |
| ppf | skinux: systemctl disable lightdm | 13:54 |
| ppf | gnulligan: then just reinstall | 13:54 |
| gnulligan | ppf: but what partitions should I make in the manual install? | 13:54 |
| ppf | / | 13:54 |
| gnulligan | no ESP? | 13:54 |
| ppf | no, the installer does that | 13:55 |
| ppf | IF you're in efi mode | 13:55 |
| gnulligan | but I need to make sure this ESP is separate from the other two | 13:55 |
| ppf | there is only one | 13:55 |
| ppf | why do you need this? | 13:56 |
| gnulligan | I thought you said to have different entries in the uefi menu I need different ESPs? | 13:56 |
| ppf | no | 13:56 |
| ppf | all OS images/bootloaders get installed into the same esp | 13:56 |
| gnulligan | ok. my goal is to have all OSes visible to the firmware, so if grub breaks, I can choose another one easily | 13:56 |
| ppf | yes, that's how you do it | 13:57 |
| ppf | though if grub breaks you can't boot ubuntu ') | 13:57 |
| gnulligan | I do not want to have the default, which AFAIK is a single UEFI entry for grub which will then let you chainload the 3 OSes | 13:57 |
| ppf | then again, grub doesn't break | 13:57 |
| gnulligan | ppf: well my biggest concern is that a future update to ubuntu or grub will somehow prevent grub from booting windows | 13:58 |
| gnulligan | this happened before lol | 13:58 |
| gnulligan | also windows could overwrite the ESP too | 13:58 |
| ppf | if this happens you can fix it | 13:58 |
| ppf | it could, but it won't | 13:58 |
| gnulligan | windows updates break grub quite often | 13:58 |
| ppf | has never done so for me | 13:59 |
| gnulligan | if they're big, like feature updates etc | 13:59 |
| ppf | but then you just restore it, no harm done | 13:59 |
| rhoks1 | hi guys, I minimized an app to system tray on 17.10 and can't access it now, where do I find it? | 13:59 |
| gnulligan | is the default "install alongside other OSes" option going to remove the other two entries from my UEFI? | 14:00 |
| ppf | also, it can only break the default bootloader. not the actual grub | 14:00 |
| ppf | no | 14:00 |
| ppf | it shouldn't | 14:00 |
| === nat_ is now known as Natkeeran | ||
| gnulligan | ok, that's what I need to avoid. I need to keep the separate options in case something gets nuked... It would be really easy though if I could just press "Install alongside other OSes" and it will leave the clonezilla and windows entries in the UEFI boot menu alone | 14:01 |
| rhoks1 | anyone? | 14:01 |
| ppf | yes, just press it | 14:01 |
| ppf | you can fix it if it doesn't work | 14:02 |
| gnulligan | ok I'll try it | 14:02 |
| HexaByte | Before I reinvent hot water. How can I add http://packages.rusoft.ru/ppa/rusoft/php/5.4/pool/ubuntu-xenial/ as an apt repository, to get php5.4 packages into apt? | 14:04 |

| HexaByte | to enable the repo | 14:08 |
| gnulligan | ppf: you said "you can fix it if it doesn't work" | 14:10 |

| ppf | gnulligan: why not let future gnulligan worry | 14:12 |
| gnulligan | lol | 14:13 |

| mancman3 | if u have a working os already no need to burn it, just install it. it does uefi too | 14:15 |

| mancman3 | gnulligan: select the recommended option :) | 14:16 |
| MibixFox | im using the gui version | 14:16 |
| gnulligan | mancman3: doesn't that just make a new grub with all possible entries? | 14:16 |
| mancman3 | gnulligan: isn't that what ur after | 14:17 |
| gnulligan | I'm not worried the system won't be bootable, since the "install alongside other OSes" option usually works. I'm trying to make sure all OSes have entries in the firmware as well as grub | 14:18 |
| gnulligan | I don't want the uefi to show only one bootable entry, because I've had windows overwrite grub before | 14:18 |
| gnulligan | so if grub doesn't work, the clonezilla grub and windows BCD entries should be available as fallbacks | 14:19 |
| gnulligan | via the UEFI menu | 14:19 |
| mancman3 | Oh ok no idea as all motherboard bioses / eufi is different | 14:19 |
| gnulligan | I'm trying to find out if the default "install alongside other OSes" option will overwrite the current entries in the UEFI menu. That should depend on the installer | 14:20 |
| mancman3 | If u install a uefi OS i'm guessing YES | 14:21 |
| === root_ is now known as Guest66374 | ||
| mancman3 | What i mean is if u install with uefi enabled then ubuntu has a uefi signiture | 14:21 |

| gnulligan | just finished installing ubuntu, a message pops up saying "Please remove the installation medium, then press ENTER" | 15:05 |
| gnulligan | when I press enter, nothing happens | 15:06 |
| Jonta | Did you remove the installation medium? | 15:06 |
| gnulligan | there's a cursor on the screen that goes down though, so I guess the newline is going somewhere | 15:06 |
| leftyfb | gnulligan: just remove the install cd/dvd/usb and reboot | 15:06 |
| gnulligan | Jonta: ya | 15:06 |
| gnulligan | leftyfb: ok, so there won't be any disk activity right now? It's safe to force shutdown? | 15:07 |
| squid_ | Jonta: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/M6s7F4GzWK/ | 15:07 |

| leftyfb | squid_: what is _sysroot ? | 15:07 |
| squid_ | leftyfb: the name of a directory | 15:08 |
| leftyfb | ok, just making sure you weren't trying to make it into some variable | 15:08 |
| Chydzim | https://github.com/arifogel/twrpabx can someone build it and upload for me to a google drive, or tell how to build it? | 15:09 |
| squid_ | Ok I think I might have fixed it, seems to be the first line causing a problem | 15:10 |
| squid_ | The one where the script writes to /dev/sdc | 15:10 |
| squid_ | And not a partition | 15:10 |
| leftyfb | Chydzim: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingEasyHowTo | 15:10 |
| squid_ | I didn't write this script, but that is supposed to corrupt the media somehow first | 15:10 |
| leftyfb | squid_: it would "corrupt" it. Which means there wouldn't be any valid partitions to dd your other files to so they would just to go files | 15:11 |
| gnulligan | where is the ubuntu grub.cfg located in the FHS? | 15:11 |
| leftyfb | gnulligan: why? You don't edit that directly | 15:12 |
| zetheroo | where are icons stored in 18.04 | 15:12 |
| squid_ | leftyfb: That's what I'm now thinking. The thing is, not every partition fails every time, and others in my organisation are using this script without trouble. I'll give it a go without that line and see if it works consistently | 15:12 |

| leftyfb | gnulligan: again, why? | 15:16 |
| gnulligan | leftyfb: because I want to boot ubuntu? | 15:17 |
| gnulligan | lol | 15:17 |
| leftyfb | gnulligan: Why do you need to mess with grub to get ubuntu to boot? A default install on typical hardware will just boot without having to mess with grub.cfg | 15:18 |
| gnulligan | leftyfb: I don't have a default install :P | 15:19 |

| leftyfb | MibixFox: cp does not keep acl's/timestamps on files so rsync will override | 15:29 |
| leftyfb | MibixFox: rsync keeps everything. If the data has changed from the source (which a cp will do) then rsync will override | 15:30 |
| MibixFox | there is a --size-only argument but it doesnt seem to be working | 15:32 |

| MibixFox | leftyfb: i figured it out, im a moron | 16:18 |
| MibixFox | :D | 16:18 |
| oerheks | with " sudo hostnamectl set-hostname <name>" it should stick | 16:18 |
| leftyfb | rany: there's more to it than hostnamectl in that article | 16:19 |
| rany | oerheks: but something keeps reverting it :/ | 16:19 |

| gnulligan | nomodeset worked | 16:34 |
| gnulligan | btw does "download updates while installing" ever cause system instability later? | 16:34 |
| gnulligan | I've heard one guy say not to use that option because it can be less stable than updating afterwards | 16:34 |
| oerheks | gnulligan, no. | 16:34 |

| gnulligan | I'd like to update to the most recent kernel | 17:07 |
| gnulligan | it's already fully updated, but it doesn't detect my second display and needs nomodeset, among other things | 17:08 |
| gnulligan | is the best way with sudo apt-get dist-upgrade? | 17:09 |
| nacc | gnulligan: what version of xubuntu? | 17:13 |
| nacc | gnulligan: there is no reason, imo, in general use to not use apt-get dist-upgrade / apt full-upgrade. All that does is allow apt to potentially remove packages in order to upgrade others. | 17:13 |
| gnulligan | 18.04, and I just tried it, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade will only update gnome | 17:13 |
| gnulligan | well, libgoa | 17:13 |
| nacc | gnulligan: when you say "most recent kernel", what do you mean? | 17:14 |
| oerheks | ryzen 2400G .. kernel 4.16 has fixes for that one.. too new hardware | 17:14 |
| gnulligan | well I'm using a ryzen 5 2400g | 17:14 |
| gnulligan | ^ | 17:15 |
| nacc | oerheks: gnulligan: ah i see | 17:15 |
| nacc | gnulligan: you could try the mainline PPA, is that what you mean? | 17:15 |
| nacc | !mainline | 17:15 |
| ubottu | The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds | 17:15 |

| gnulligan | yes :) | 17:24 |
| gnulligan | lol read a wiki page to add a ppa | 17:24 |
| oerheks | mainline is not a ppa, you need to install manually, and look for updates yourself | 17:24 |
| nacc | gnulligan: it doesn't tell you to add a ppa. | 17:24 |
| gnulligan | so is it ppa:kernel-ppa/pre-proposed or ppa:kernel-ppa/mainline? | 17:25 |
| nacc | gnulligan: so, i'm not convinced you read it. | 17:25 |
| nacc | gnulligan: start at "How do I install an upstream kernel?" and do the steps one by one. | 17:25 |
| oerheks | next Cosmis is still @ 4.15 , so running that beta would do no more than you have now | 17:27 |
| nacc | yeah it's a bit early in the cycle for the kernel to have changed | 17:27 |
| gnulligan | are the odd-numbered kernels still unstable? | 17:31 |
| nacc | gnulligan: that hasn't been true for a long time. | 17:33 |
| oerheks | that was true up to 2.6.x ?? | 17:34 |

| gnulligan | isn't there a certain order the .deb packages need to be installed in for the kernel to be installed correctly? Or does order only apply to the patches? | 17:52 |
| gnulligan | the wiki page doesn't mention patches, but they're at the top of the link it provides for the .deb packages | 17:53 |
| oerheks | gnulligan, yes, see the A and B part | 17:53 |
| gnulligan | oerheks: ok so the order only applies to the patches? | 17:53 |
| oerheks | reallly, that wiki is straight forward | 17:54 |
| oerheks | there are no patches, just kernel parts | 17:54 |
| gnulligan | it says "download kernel files" and gives a link | 17:54 |
| nacc | gnulligan: yes, and that link is a list of directories | 17:55 |
| gnulligan | ohhh | 17:55 |
| gnulligan | wait | 17:55 |
| gnulligan | nacc: thanks for the tip | 17:55 |
| gnulligan | ok so the patches are for the source only | 17:55 |
| gnulligan | got it | 17:55 |

| lordtolstoi | how to grup more than 10 items on de bar /. | 17:56 |
| leftyfb | lordtolstoi: what? | 17:56 |
| lordtolstoi | im using linux mint | 17:56 |
| leftyfb | !mint | lordtolstoi | 17:56 |
| ubottu | lordtolstoi: The Ubuntu channels can only provide support for Ubuntu and its official flavors, since other distributions and derivatives have repository and software changes. So please use their dedicated support venues, for example: Linux Mint (#linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org), Kali Linux (#kali-linux), and LXLE (#lxle) | 17:56 |
| blaster | Is there a way to schedule package upgrades automatically for a remote web server or would that be problematic in some way? | 17:56 |
| nacc | blaster: unattended-upgrades | 17:56 |
| nacc | blaster: and it can be problematic, depending on what you have installed, etc. | 17:57 |
| nacc | blaster: but in principle, if you trust the distro and stick to regular ubuntu packages, it should be safe | 17:57 |
| oerheks | lordtolstoi, mint is not supported, but this guide should work .. https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/04/add-app-folders-gnome-shell-overview if not, install ubuntu please, and you can do it. | 17:58 |

| qwebirc16142 | Hey so I have Ubuntu server 16.04 and I'm getting an email from cron daemon to an email address that I'm not sure how it got. It's sending it to a group at work and I'd like to make it just email me. I just can't figure out how it got the group email unless I put it in somewhere when I first set up the server. Does 16.04 setup ask for an email anywhere? | 17:59 |
| hggdh | my bad, missed the full command | 17:59 |
| leftyfb | qwebirc16142: sudo grep -R EMAIL@ADDRESS /etc/ | 18:00 |
| lordtolstoi | oerheks: not in a folder i dont whant to i whant it on menu bar gruped like txt files in windows xp | 18:01 |
| nacc | lordtolstoi: mint is not supported here. | 18:01 |
| qwebirc16142 | leftyfb: Thanks!.. nothing in there | 18:01 |
| leftyfb | qwebirc16142: then look at the cronjob or in your MTA's settings/aliases for an email address/user that forwards somewhere else | 18:02 |
| hggdh | ewart: sorry, cannot reproduce | 18:02 |
| ewart | i am getting an unxpected char: \ error when i put in a shell script | 18:03 |

| nacc | Comnenus: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-machine-id-commit.service.html -- i'm not sure it's used typically | 18:12 |
| Comnenus | nacc: condition failed, ConditionPathIsMount=/etc/machine-id was not met. | 18:12 |
| nacc | Comnenus: and did you look, do you hve an /etc/machine-id file? | 18:13 |
| Comnenus | nacc: I deleted it because I want it to generate a new one at boot, this is going to be a VM template | 18:13 |
| nacc | Comnenus: (note file, not directory) | 18:13 |
| Comnenus | I'm used to RHEL so it could be that ubuntu just wants to do this a different way. | 18:14 |
| Comnenus | but I'm not finding much on google at all. | 18:14 |
| nacc | Comnenus: did you read `man machine-id `? | 18:14 |
| nacc | Comnenus: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/wwd6g76yzw/ | 18:15 |
| Comnenus | ah. thank you. | 18:16 |
| nacc | Comnenus: and later in the manpage, it explains how its done | 18:16 |
| qwebirc16142 | leftyfb: Thanks!.. that helped. I looked in the postfix log and it was mailing root@mydomain and root is an alias for our group. | 18:18 |

| nacc | leftyfb: nothing wrong with a TIL moment on a friday! :) | 18:20 |
| oerheks | moffa, explain with more details? | 18:22 |
| moffa | After upgrading it, apt hangs on builiding inital kernel module | 18:22 |
| moffa | "Building initial module for 4.15.0-23-generic" for the past 15 minutes | 18:24 |

| ioria | moffa, mokutil --sb-state | 18:25 |
| moffa | it says SecureBoot disabled | 18:26 |
| moffa | Running ubuntu 18.04 | 18:26 |
| ioria | moffa, i'd check the bios, just to be sure | 18:26 |
| blackflow | moffa: what's teh reason you're installing zfs-dkms? ZFS modules are in the regular kernel package on bionic | 18:27 |
| moffa | I dunno, I must have installed it for some reason.. I htink it wasn't auto detecting before | 18:28 |
| blackflow | moffa: you don't need it on bionic. only zfsutils-linux | 18:28 |
| moffa | It used to automount, but it doesn't anymore | 18:29 |
| blackflow | moffa: automount what, pools? | 18:29 |
| moffa | Yes, automount pools | 18:29 |
| moffa | I think I must have it installed from before xenial. | 18:29 |
| blackflow | moffa: clear out the /etc/fs/zpool.cache and import the pools again | 18:30 |
| blackflow | moffa: /etc/zfs/zpool.cache sory, typo. | 18:30 |
| moffa | doesn't exist.. maybe that's why? | 18:30 |
| blackflow | moffa: right, so runnig zpool import should create it | 18:31 |
| blackflow | moffa: you could also try force the cachefile=/etc/zfs/zpool.cache option on the pool. | 18:31 |
| moffa | how do I set the mount point? /etc/fstab? | 18:32 |
| moffa | I uncommented the cache line in /etc/default/zfs | 18:32 |
| blackflow | moffa: no, with dataset option 'mountpoint' | 18:33 |
| blackflow | moffa: ZFS doesn't use fstab except for legacy mount modes | 18:33 |
| moffa | Umm zpool import can find my zfs, but zfs can't find it... | 18:35 |
| blackflow | moffa: can you pastebin the command and error message? | 18:35 |
| moffa | I'm just having a senior moment... zpool import shows my pool, how do I get the mountpoint? zfs get poolname/mountpoint | 18:36 |

| nacc | qwebirc49035: what is "it"? | 18:49 |
| eckomute | Thanks nacc. From my understanding, /boot is called and released pretty quickly in the startup process, correct? | 18:49 |
| nacc | eckomute: well, /boot isn't "called"; it's a filesystem location. The kernel and initrd are loaded into memory, yes. | 18:49 |
| === k is now known as kubast2 | ||
| FroMaster | nacc: I'm not certain what you mean by archive. Do you mean https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/ | 18:50 |

| nacc | FroMaster: stop looking at the source, it's not relevant to getting a pacakge onto your system. | 18:50 |

| nacc | FroMaster: again, i don't know why you looked at the Git source or the source package links | 18:53 |
| eckomute | I figure that if I have 3 ssds, I can use one for /boot to keep my drive free for zfs root. I am also curious about usb /boot. I like that idea, but figure there would be more performance loss than another ssd drive. | 18:53 |
| nacc | eckomute: using an entire ssd for /boot seems really silly | 18:53 |
| eckomute | Thanks to oerheks, my usb assumption seems to be verified. | 18:54 |
| blackflow | eckomute: you're planning to use the whole ssd, unpartitionied for zfs? | 18:54 |
| eckomute | No, not using the whole drive for boot. I'll have a linux os on it. Likely ubuntu. | 18:54 |
| blackflow | *unpartitioned | 18:54 |
| FroMaster | nacc: I started at the git tree to see if the driver had been updated and worked backwards to find which versions it was being included in. I found the bug article last. Just trying to connect the dots. | 18:55 |
| eckomute | blackflow: I think so, yes. zfs root for the whole drive. | 18:55 |
| eckomute | uefi/gpt | 18:55 |
| blackflow | eckomute: don't. partition it first, which means you can put /boot there just fine | 18:55 |

| Industrial | Hi. | 18:56 |
| eckomute | blackflow: From my understanding, zfs works better if it's given a whole disk, no? Why partition first? | 18:56 |
| SeTunTun | hello, i updated my ubuntu 14.04 machine today (i mean a daily update not a system update) and it does not boot | 18:56 |
| Industrial | Can I somehow get Docker to make files that are accessible to my user? | 18:57 |
| Industrial | Right now some files like libraries that get pulled in are made on disk by the root user | 18:57 |
| SeTunTun | it is stuck in the "ubuntu" screen. Can anybody help me? | 18:57 |
| Industrial | due to docker compose volumes | 18:57 |
| blackflow | eckomute: no. it'll also partition it for you, if you don't, so better make the layout that you want | 18:57 |
| nacc | Industrial: perhaps you want #docker? | 18:58 |
| blackflow | eckomute: zfs benefits from direct access to disks as opposed to hardware raid'ed ones. | 18:58 |
| ioria | SeTunTun, can you open a console ? ctrl+alt+f1 | 18:58 |
| davenx | hi | 18:58 |
| eckomute | blackflow: What's the downside of using the whole disk for zfs with the /boot on another ssd? | 18:58 |
| === a_ is now known as newbiii | ||
| Industrial | nacc: docker is a daemon right so it's the root user. | 18:58 |
| davenx | can anyone solve issue about Handshake SSL | 18:58 |
| davenx | ? | 18:58 |
| blackflow | eckomute: like I said, ZFS will partition that disk anyway, if you don't first | 18:58 |
| nacc | Industrial: you want #docker | 18:58 |
| blackflow | eckomute: so the downside is completely unnecessary complexity | 18:59 |
| Industrial | nacc: Can I change how ubuntu runs a service? Can I tell my ubuntu system to run the deocker service under my own user (tom) and not root? | 18:59 |
| Industrial | nacc: see what I did there :-D | 19:00 |
| nikki_s-00 | eckomute: boot can go onto a usb stick. it is you choice! | 19:00 |
| Industrial | It's ubuntu specific now xD | 19:00 |
| nacc | Industrial: i think you are confusing who runs the docker service with what your user is in the docker container | 19:00 |
| Industrial | no. It's the user on my host system that runs dockerd | 19:00 |
| nacc | Industrial: again, you want #docker | 19:00 |
| santosh | What is the best sftp client with GUI? | 19:00 |
| Industrial | that dockerd is creating files on disk with the root user | 19:00 |
| oerheks | santosh, there is no single best, filezilla is opensource | 19:01 |
| Industrial | am I going to ask #docker how ubuntu starts services? | 19:01 |
| blackflow | santosh: filezilla supports sftp | 19:01 |
| ioria | santosh, you can use sftp + nautilus | 19:01 |
| Industrial | the docker part is fine. it runs okay | 19:01 |
| eckomute | blackflow: doesn't allowing zfs to partition the whole disk help align it correctly? A few of the guides suggested that this was the case, so switched from my first route that followed what you are suggesting now. | 19:01 |
| blackflow | eckomute: align it at 1MB boundary and you're set | 19:02 |
| blackflow | eckomute: and you can force ashift, eg. if you want 4k sectors on a 512b drive | 19:02 |
| SeTunTun | Is there any problem with the updates today? | 19:03 |
| nacc | Industrial: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27925006/using-host-environment-variables-with-dockerfile | 19:03 |
| nacc | Industrial: i'm fairly sure this is a #docker thing, unrelated to ubuntu | 19:03 |
| eckomute | blackflow: Ok, I'll look into it further, thanks blackflow (and others) for your input | 19:04 |
| oerheks | likely there are no known issues, SeTunTun | 19:05 |
| oerheks | how does updates affect you? | 19:06 |
| Industrial | nacc: you are correct: | 19:06 |
| Industrial | `As of version 0.7.3, Docker doesn't use "user namespaces" (which would allow to map the root user inside a container to a non-root user on the host). Therefore, if you are root in the container, your file access will happen as root on the host as well!` | 19:06 |
| nacc | Industrial: so, next time, listen to the advice you are given :) | 19:06 |
| Industrial | hai o\ | 19:06 |
| FroMaster | nacc: It looks like the code is going into 4.4 and 4.15 not 4.13. Since I'm already on linux-generic-hwe-16.04, I'll either need to roll back to get 4.4 or go to linux-generic-hwe-16.04-edge to get 4.15? | 19:07 |
| SeTunTun | Since today's update the computer doesn't boot. I is freezed in the ubuntu screen. | 19:07 |
| nacc | FroMaster: did you read my messages earlier? I told you exactly what you need to do. | 19:07 |
| SeTunTun | i can access the terminal by ctrl+alt+f1 but i don't know what to do. I am screwed | 19:08 |

| leftyfb | not just through VNC | 19:25 |
| Goop | How do I connect to the desktop then? | 19:25 |
| oerheks | tons of minecraft server howtos, vnc would take away much bandwidth and cpu power on your slow machine | 19:26 |
| Sven_vB | I'm looking for a PDF viewer for Ubuntu trusty that can select columns; i.e. copy all text blocks that do not exceed the left or right boundary of my rectangular selection. any suggestions? | 19:26 |
| Goop | 4 cores, 9GB of RAM on a server-grade internet connection. Easily 100mbit per second either way. | 19:27 |
| Goop | Sven_vB, libreoffice calc. PDF is an inappropriate file to use for columns. | 19:27 |
| Sven_vB | Goop, unfortunately the ebook I'm trying to copy from is provided as PDF only. | 19:28 |
| Sven_vB | and badly formatted PDF, as usual on the web | 19:29 |
| Ben64 | Goop: use ssh, don't use gui at all | 19:29 |
| Goop | Sven_vB, okay. Can you copy all the columns? If you can copy columns, I would recommend copying all the columns and paste them into a spreadsheet software and manipulate your cells from the spreadsheet. | 19:29 |
| Goop | Ben64, how do I play Minecraft on SSH? | 19:29 |
| Ben64 | you don't, you run the server that way | 19:29 |
| nacc | Ben64: their specific problem is trying to connect a client to a remote system playing minecraft | 19:30 |
| Ben64 | ah, i misunderstood | 19:30 |
| nacc | an underpowered client, that is | 19:30 |
| Ben64 | well, that's impossible | 19:30 |
| Sven_vB | Goop, if I copy all columns, or even just more than one paragraph, paragraphs are ordered left-to-right, then top-to-bottom, with pullquotes mixed in between. I'd prefer text blocks to be ordered top-to-bottom first, then left-to-right, and pullquotes ignored. | 19:31 |
| Sven_vB | Goop, do you have a good enough overview of PDF readers available that I should conclude to use Adobe Reader in wine then? ;) | 19:33 |
| Goop | I no understanding of PDF. I just figured I'd try to help you out. I come in here to ask for help all the time, and you can only get out of a system what you put in, so I figure I should put in some help too. | 19:34 |
| Sven_vB | hehe ok, thanks for trying! | 19:34 |
| Goop | Can you copy the PDF into another software and try organizing it the way you want? | 19:34 |
| Goop | I find that PDF isn't very nice, and there are nicer software to manipulate text/format with. | 19:35 |
| Sven_vB | too labor-intensive. | 19:35 |
| === Nicmavr is now known as Guest71821 | ||
| Sven_vB | yeah well, I'm trying to get the text out of the PDF exactly for that reason, to use it in a better software. :) | 19:35 |
| Goop | What is your purpose? Are you trying to display it to someone else, submit data, or try to take notes for yourself? | 19:35 |
| Sven_vB | I'm trying to read a brochure | 19:36 |
| Sven_vB | it's obviously optimized for being read visually, not for extracting text in a sensible manner. | 19:36 |
| jluc | Sven_vB, your issue depends on the PDF itself more than on the reader | 19:36 |
| jluc | PDF can describes the page in different ways | 19:37 |
| Goop | Sven_vB, would you give us an image of what you are talking about? | 19:37 |
| nacc | Sven_vB: if all youre trying to do is 'read' it, and it's optimized for reading, what exactly is the problem? | 19:37 |
| jluc | depending on the way the columns are described you can or cannot select the text properly | 19:37 |
| Goop | left-to-right, you're talking about a core problem in English. | 19:37 |
| jluc | it relies mostly on the tool that created the PDF | 19:37 |
| Goop | core system of English* | 19:38 |
| jluc | whether Word, openoffice, scribus, quarkxpress, indeseign etc | 19:38 |
| Sven_vB | nacc, I'm trying to read the text with text software, not read it visually. | 19:38 |
| jluc | what might help is to crop the columns Sven_vB | 19:38 |
| jluc | into 2 PDFs | 19:39 |
| jluc | but itll take time | 19:39 |
| jluc | unless you automate this with pdftk | 19:39 |
| jluc | but then itll take time to write and debug the script | 19:39 |
| Sven_vB | jluc, well the default PDF reader (I wish gnome would make it easier to determine the actual program names) can select all the text blocks, and it correctly identifies their geometry, so if it could now apply the rules I suggested above to omit some of the paragraphs, it could actually help me deal with other people's PDF messup. | 19:40 |
| Sven_vB | yeah that may be a work-around, although I doubt it will help against the pullquotes | 19:40 |
| jluc | there are scripts to export PDF text as text also | 19:41 |
| jluc | not script but tools | 19:41 |
| Sven_vB | in a world where most PDFs are produced by people who barely know how it works, I think it's a bad idea for PDF viewers to exclusively rely on authors. :P | 19:42 |
| jluc | PDFs are meant for viewers | 19:43 |
| Sven_vB | so it looks like I'm the first Ubuntu person to be struck by that problem bad enough to fix it. which existing PDF viewer has the least messy codebase? :D | 19:43 |
| jluc | you're not the first computer user to think they are the first to think their tool is messy | 19:45 |
| Sven_vB | I know, it's one of the reasons I'm a UX evangelist. | 19:45 |
| Sven_vB | meh. old Adobe Reader is insecure and modern Adobe Reader is a hassle to use. :( | 19:56 |
| Sven_vB | what are your favorite PDF viewers for Ubuntu? | 19:56 |
| Jonta | Evince | 19:56 |
| Sven_vB | now I remember that name, that's the default one I'm currently using, too. | 19:57 |

| qwebirc82291 | Hi, I need a bit of direction here, is there a particular version of ubuntu built to be booted from usb and test the hardware of a pc, last week my pc started crashing every few minutes, and a slight misunderstanding of 'select partition 4' followed by 'clean', resulted in my harddisk being, well, cleaned. Multiple failed installs from usb resulting [Ernno 5], is there any particular version of ubuntu or alternative that you w | 20:04 |
| Jonta | qwebirc82291: You were cut off at "that you w" there | 20:05 |
| Sven_vB | Okular is so neat I wish there was a windows version so I could recommend it to some windows inmates. | 20:05 |
| oerheks | there is no special build of ubuntu to test hardware | 20:06 |

| Guest94225 | hi, I need to edit a file via nano as root.. however when I open it via sudo (sudo nano /path/to/file), I can't see any content in the file.. when I use reguler user only | 20:24 |
| Guest94225 | (nano /path/to/file) it works but I obviously can't save the file...) | 20:24 |
| nacc | Guest94225: are you 100% sure the path isn't typod? | 20:24 |
| Guest94225 | nacc: yes | 20:25 |

| Guest94225 | nacc: nothing unusual about that file | 20:26 |

| Kartagis | nacc: I'm not talking about that. ubuntu says dev is not a member of 8.webcinizim.com although it is | 20:28 |
| nacc | Kartagis: is it actually though? | 20:28 |
| Kartagis | id says so | 20:29 |
| nacc | Kartagis: grep 8.webcinizm.com /etc/groups | 20:29 |
| nacc | Kartagis: again, `id` is not updated until you logout and login, afaik | 20:29 |
| nacc | Kartagis: you are still in that group in the currently logged in session | 20:29 |
| Kartagis | nacc: yes it exists | 20:29 |
| Kartagis | nacc: I logged out and back in | 20:30 |
| nacc | Kartagis: what does `groups` say? | 20:31 |
| nacc | Guest94225: so you already tried opening it with vi (or have it already opened)? | 20:32 |
| Kartagis | nacc: dev 8.webcinizim.com | 20:32 |
| nacc | Kartagis: oh, i don't think you can remove the only group a user is a member of | 20:32 |
| nacc | maybe? | 20:32 |
| Kartagis | nacc: I tried later too | 20:33 |
| nacc | Kartagis: tried "later"? | 20:33 |
| Kartagis | later than I added dev user to dev group | 20:33 |
| Guest94225 | nacc: yeah I deleted the swap file and it works | 20:34 |
| nacc | Guest94225: ok, so as root you can use vi? quit out of vi, and does nano work now? | 20:34 |
| nacc | Kartagis: and you loggedout and in again? | 20:34 |
| Kartagis | yes | 20:34 |
| Guest94225 | nacc: yes nano works after I deleted the swap file | 20:34 |
| nacc | Kartagis: can you pastebin? | 20:35 |
| nacc | Guest94225: ok, it's possible nano was also showing you that messagae, then? | 20:35 |
| Guest94225 | nacc: nano was showing me no error message, but I probably edited it before and forgot about it | 20:35 |
| nacc | Guest94225: ok, i don't use `nano`, so not sure of its behavior | 20:36 |
| Kartagis | nacc: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/646RJ7R2cb/ | 20:38 |
| Kartagis | Guest94225: what's the issue? | 20:38 |
| Kartagis | Guest94225: .file.swp are vim's, not nano's afaik | 20:39 |

| nacc | Kartagis: urgh, that message is terrible | 20:41 |
| Kartagis | hm, I was wrong, nano makes them too | 20:41 |
| nacc | Kartagis: took a look in the source, the "is not a member" message occurs when any removal fails (effectively) | 20:41 |
| nacc | Kartagis: is dev in the shadow group? | 20:41 |
| nacc | Kartagis: in other words, in the source, that message is printed if the user is not found in *either* /etc/group or /etc/gshadow | 20:44 |
| nacc | i *think* :) | 20:44 |
| Kartagis | nacc: no it's not | 20:44 |

| nacc | ? | 21:54 |
| qwebirc94172 | downlaoded the deb file from steam webiste | 21:54 |

| qwebirc94172 | the deb file installed via the software centre | 21:55 |
| nacc | qwebirc94172: also steam is available from ubuntu | 21:55 |

| oerheks | https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/06/install-steam-on-ubuntu-16-04-lts | 21:55 |

| nacc | qwebirc94172: yeah, don't do that either. | 21:57 |
| nacc | qwebirc94172: i feel like maybe you need more basic help, like how to use ubuntu? | 21:57 |
| nacc | qwebirc94172: both programs you are trying to use are available *from* Ubuntu, you don't need third party things | 21:58 |

| qwebirc94172 | i think it says biopic | 21:59 |
| nacc | qwebirc94172: both steam and virtualbox are available from multiverse without anything else. | 21:59 |
| oerheks | RoadRunner, from their website, or look for a PPA | 22:00 |
| nacc | RoadRunner: not in ubuntu | 22:00 |
| nacc | RoadRunner: what oerheks said :) | 22:00 |
| qwebirc94172 | why dont deb files work is it a bug from ubuntu | 22:00 |
| oerheks | i doubt "virtualbox says cannt load kernel is i386 " | 22:00 |
| nacc | qwebirc94172: because you need to setup the i386 architecture for dpkg | 22:00 |
| nacc | qwebirc94172: or *just use the ubuntu packages* | 22:00 |
| qwebirc94172 | oh ok thanks | 22:01 |
| qwebirc94172 | so just use terminal to install steam | 22:01 |
| nacc | qwebirc94172: read the link from oerheks | 22:01 |
| RoadRunner | unfortunately pidgins 2.13 execs aren't available, they do not indorse any ppa's and pidgin's site instructions for compiling from source are over my head | 22:02 |
| nacc | RoadRunner: then you probably don't need 2.13.0 | 22:02 |
| qwebirc94172 | it says this this kernel requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detects an i686 CPU, unable to boot | 22:03 |
| nacc | qwebirc94172: *what* says that? | 22:03 |
| qwebirc94172 | virtual box | 22:03 |
| RoadRunner | nacc: I am having problems with video calls and debuging the issue is also beyound me, yet work was done since 2.10.12 on video that, for all I know, may solve my problem | 22:04 |
| nacc | qwebirc94172: virtual box the program? | 22:05 |
| qwebirc94172 | yes | 22:05 |
| nacc | qwebirc94172: how did you install it? | 22:05 |
| nacc | RoadRunner: you would just need to wait, or see if someone has built it in a ppa | 22:05 |

| qwebirc94172 | deb files are ubuntu files the are for installation right? | 22:06 |
| nacc | qwebirc94172: ok, at this point i assume you are trolling. | 22:06 |
| RoadRunner | don't suppose anyone here knows of a ppa for pidgin 2.13? | 22:06 |
| nacc | qwebirc94172: good luck to you | 22:06 |
| nacc | RoadRunner: you can search online | 22:06 |

| qwebirc94172 | why would'nt deb files work if their built for ubuntu | 22:09 |
| nacc | qwebirc94172: if you insist on using third party debs, ask the third party for support please | 22:10 |

| nacc | oerheks: well, it would need to be in cosmic first | 22:11 |
| xMopx | is us.archive.ubuntu.com down for anyone else? | 22:11 |
| qwebirc94172 | all third party software works on windows and apple its just linux that dosent because its so unstable all the time | 22:11 |
| oerheks | uhuh, cosmic has 2.12 as the only version now | 22:11 |
| nacc | oerheks: it's in debian, so it needs to be merged this cycle | 22:12 |
| nacc | qwebirc94172: please stop spreading FUD. | 22:12 |
| oerheks | qwebirc94172, if you used virtualbox from 'their website' , they should give support, but i think there i something else going on, did you install virtualbox 32 bit? | 22:12 |
| qwebirc94172 | is debian seprate to ubuntu i though ubuntu was based on ubuntu | 22:12 |
| oerheks | somthing is fishy here.. | 22:13 |
| === fred_ is now known as Guest13847 | ||
| blackflow | oerheks: no, just the usual smell of bridges... | 22:14 |
| qwebirc94172 | what determines 64 or 32bit is it cpu or ram | 22:14 |
| oerheks | apt-cache policy virtualbox | 22:14 |
| nacc | RoadRunner: couldn't you just use 18.04? it has 2.12 -- | 22:15 |
| qwebirc94172 | no it says am64 packages | 22:15 |
| nacc | RoadRunner: not sure why you need 2.13.0 specifically? | 22:15 |
| qwebirc94172 | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/VHd8MfrFV2/ | 22:16 |
| nacc | qwebirc94172: you are not using the ubuntu package, so we can't help you. | 22:17 |
| nacc | possibly not using a deb at all | 22:17 |
| qwebirc94172 | i think your right its not part of ubunu its sepearte to the ubuntu store i downloaded it | 22:19 |
| qwebirc94172 | its called virtualbox-5.2_5.2.12-122591_Ubuntu_bionic_amd64.deb | 22:19 |
| RoadRunner | nacc: first, that would mean upgrading from 16.04 to 18.04 and that's going to screw up a bunch of my stuff including dark themes I've customized; second, as I mentioned earlier, I am having problems with video calls and from pidgin's version log I know that work was done in ver 2.13.0 on video that could possibly solve my problem | 22:20 |

| robertwalters | us archives are down? | 22:21 |
| nacc | RoadRunner: if you really need to build it from source, you probably weant #pidgin or something | 22:21 |
| nacc | robertwalters: working fine here | 22:22 |
| nacc | robertwalters: open http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ in a browser to check, i guess? | 22:22 |

| xMopx | yep, its back now, nacc | 22:23 |
| robertwalters | weird, just a hiccup then, cheers all | 22:25 |
| RoadRunner | if 2.13 is in debian, is there a straight forward way of getting it? if yes, perhaps that is safer than going with an unendorsed ppa? | 22:25 |
| nacc | RoadRunner: debian would also be 'unendorsed' | 22:26 |
| nacc | RoadRunner: you can get it, but it may not install and installing it manually may not work. Just wait for it to show up in cosmic and run cosmic. | 22:27 |
| nacc | RoadRunner: i doubt what you need is SRU-able, as it doesn't sound like bugfixes, but features | 22:27 |

| nacc | RoadRunner: yes. | 22:33 |
| nacc | RoadRunner: did you read the !latest faq? | 22:33 |
| nacc | RoadRunner: at this point, your options are clear, you can either follow them or not. | 22:34 |
| RoadRunner | since, unfortunately #pidgin isn't as active as I would like; is it possible to get understandable instructions for building Pidgin from source here? | 22:36 |
| nacc | RoadRunner: https://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/Installing%20Pidgin#IhavethesourcehowdoIbuildthisthing ? | 22:39 |

| guest-yPCYiT | yeet boi | 22:39 |
| RoadRunner | nacc: thank you, this helps; however, since I haven't built anything from source bfr, perhaps it wouldn't hurt for me to have a source for more general knowledge on building from source (so I wouldn't be following their cookbook like a brainless monkey)? | 22:44 |
| Exterminador | someone pls remind me of the proper command to make a bootable USB stick. is this correct: dd if=/path/to/iso of=/path/to/usb progress=status BS=4M && sync ? | 22:45 |

| slava_ | seeing some issues with the mirrors any known issues going on? | 22:52 |
| qwebirc53634 | Jonta, okay, look, i have 2 ntfs (windows partition, and my personal files partition), so. if i dont make any mistake, does the Files partition GET affected by ubuntu by any way? | 22:52 |
| Jonta | No | 22:53 |
| qwebirc53634 | oh, Alright, thank you | 22:53 |
| Jonta | The Ubuntu-install should show partitions, both existing and to be created | 22:53 |

| qwebirc77758 | tomreyn: i want network cards that start with enp* to be dhcp. do i have to specify 1 by 1 in config, or is there faster way? Or is there a way to prevent ubuntu in changing my network card name everytime i connect new hardware? | 23:02 |
| Jonta | qwebirc53634: Do you have the installer up right now? | 23:02 |
| qwebirc53634 | well no | 23:02 |
| qwebirc53634 | im on windows | 23:03 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc77758: oh i didnt get the wildcard part. i guess you use match then, yes. | 23:03 |

| landofcake | evening, I'm having an absolute nightmare getting the upgrade from Trusty to Xenial working - the updater is barfing on a package with a UnicodeDecodeError ... I've narrowed it down to which package it's freaking out over, but that package isn't actually installed on my syste, | 23:27 |

| buntu | tomreyn: how can i see which driver is my nic using? | 23:27 |
| mindofmateo | Hello. I am trying to enable hibernation on my laptop, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Is this not permitted for a reason, or is it ill advised? | 23:31 |
| mindofmateo | For example, even if I run `sudo pm-hibernate` the system does nothing. | 23:33 |
| Xcytre | buntu - sudo lspci -v | 23:34 |
| buntu | found solution for all my problems: force ubuntu to use old eth0 names, then specify eth0 in config. | 23:35 |
| buntu | fixed !next | 23:36 |
| compdoc | mindofmateo, 14.04 is fairly ancient and just might not have the drivers for hibernation. your hardware might be old too. you might try live-booting 18.04 from a usb/dvd, and see if it works | 23:36 |
| landofcake | alright, I've had a further dig into the apt-python api to see what it's doing, and it looks like it is pulling the entire cache for installable packages and that's causing the upgrader to fall over, it's not just packages installed on my system :[ | 23:36 |

| landofcake | what I'm trying to work out is whether there's some sort of workaround, it's very odd that it's falling over on a package that's in the cache and isn't installed on my system | 23:50 |
| nacc | landofcake: and did you try c#4 from that bug? | 23:50 |
| oerheks | one of the comments: "Output Devices cannot be changed while using the browser. Download ..." so this is app only i guess | 23:50 |
| R13ose | Jonta: yep. All I see is input sensitivity that is a slider that could be related | 23:50 |

| nacc | landofcake: i need to drop (end of day), but that seems like it would work | 23:51 |

| landofcake | the problem is, the package it breaks on isn't actually installed | 23:51 |
| landofcake | so there's no package to remove | 23:51 |
