[01:54] hello. ubuntu 18.04. i'm fresh installing to a very old friends laptop (celeron n2840/2gb ddr2). the machine was first in UEFI mode and after ubuntu completed install from USB, the system couldn't actually boot its install. so rather than mess with it i put the BIOS to legacy mode and reinstalled. but this time, during the GUI installer my trackpad no longer worked. i thought it would be fixed [01:54] after install finished but it still doesnt? i fully updated [01:56] all repos on or [01:57] me? default repos on, i haven't changed anything [01:57] see nonfree [01:57] thx, looking up [01:57] settings see [01:58] the one thing i noticed is that, when the USB installer booted in UEFI mode it came up with a text installer, to choose whether i want to try ubuntu or install it- i picked install and then it came up with a GUI where trackpad worked. when i booted the legacy BIOS installer from usb, there was no text menu to choose try ubuntu/install ubuntu. it was a GUI selection. but the trackpad was already [01:58] not working here.. [01:58] no [01:58] uefi [01:59] use terminal to update [02:00] multiverse was enabled [02:00] (nonfree) [02:01] change server [02:02] i don't understand still what misconfiguration here is going to fix the problem. what package am i missing? [02:03] fresh install [02:03] interesting [02:03] old pc [02:04] weird to me that if BIOS is configured in UEFI mode, all is fine. in legacy mode, trackpad doesnt work [02:05] my laptop work [02:05] no idea [02:08] hmm might be a bios issue actually with this hunk of junk. apparently an update may fix [02:11] hello_world! Does anyone know how to reset the Ubuntu live installer? It had an error during installation and when I try to run it again it does not let me change partitioning settings. [02:13] Or does anyone know the name of the package for the installer (if it has one) === guiverc_t is now known as guiverc [02:19] ubuntu_, why not used `gparted` to partition as you want, then install with 'something else' using existing partitions (you specify them) [02:20] ps: if you are having glitches with installer, I'd ensure you checksum'd the iso etc ubuntu_ [02:43] where would I find a log from Firefox's Browser Console? [02:49] what's the reason for installing snaps as sudo? [02:51] antergos8382: installing packages on ubuntu always requier sudo [02:53] lotuspsychje, why do linux users complain about windows always running root then? i have to use sudo root commands to install. why can't it just install as a user? flatpaks don't ask for root permissions [02:54] i don't know antergos8382, but some unconfined [legacy?] snaps can adjust/touch [fs] system files [03:15] Hello! We have a Ubuntu machine at home whose GUI is completely broken. ctrl+alt+f2 does not bring up the termianl window although the machine is running. Anyone know a possible fix? [03:18] Hey I was wondering if there was a problem with wpasupplicant and if anyone had a fix for it! [03:26] devyJava, you can disable the terminals (reduce the number, or add more) - you haven't done this have you? also crtl+alt+f2 does nothing currently on mine, but f3 & others do... I'd boot single mode (removing 'quiet splash' to see if messages provide a clue), check disk space (gui can have issues if there is no space in $HOME) etc [03:31] guiverc, the machine is actually at work and by mistake I worded it incorrectly. It's running an Ethereum miner on it and continously mining block. Co-worker told me we can SSH to it and see (1/2) [03:31] it's actually working but the GUI is completely broken. I don't understand the part of reducing terminals. Tomorrow morning, I will scan through Ctrl+Alt+F2-F12 to see if any return a response but I don't think it will. Removing quiet splash sounds interesting and will do it the next time the machine begins working. I have a hunch the contionous etherum miner has filled up the HDD which caused the GUI to break down. Do you happen to know a method top [03:31] of your head on how to find space via ssh?(2/2) [03:33] what command would give me computer's current ip on its lan as well as its routers ip on wan (which is also a dynamic ip)? [03:36] devyJava, a gui needs space in $HOME (/home/user) for temporary files; it generally will continue if already logged in, but login-loops if there is no free space for temporary space. to check you login via tty (or ssh) & `df` will show you have enough space - you just delete files (it's in the user directories you need this space if it's this) [03:38] guiverc, Thank you. I will check out df to see if there is free space. If there happens to be free space, what's my next best option to fix it? [03:40] if not [free] space, graphics is the next most common culprit (I can't help there sorry) ; next is possibly user having done something... [03:44] bob98, ip addr show, for yours [03:45] been a while. seems irc is so dead these days. did everyone run off to discord? [03:46] does anyone know why network manager might only let me connect to open wifi? [03:46] this is happening in 18.04 [03:48] antergos8382: "ip addr show" showed a comp's ip on its lan, but not comp's router's ip on wan [03:49] whatever your ip is the router is likely *.*.*.1 [03:49] ip route show default [03:50] antergos8382: no, I mean what ip is assigned by dhcp lease by an isp [03:50] So, I can take my networkmanager settings for 16.04 and bring them over to 18.04 and they stop working. It almost seems like wpasupplicant is failing [03:51] bob98, host myip.opendns.com resolver1.opendns.com [03:54] but the card connects perfectly with unsecured networks [03:57] guiverc, thank you. I'm going to sleep now. I hope you have a a good one [04:00] antergos8382: so this approach queries opendns server rather than an isp's server for the current dynamic ip; it is a good option. However, in a case where a lan router is rented from an isp, put on dynamic assignment and the isp's dhcp lease is also dynamicaly assigned, I was wondering if I could get both changing ip's with one command by just quering the isp's server [04:09] fuuuck [04:15] !language | headless_nick [04:15] headless_nick: Please avoid any language that may be considered offensive, including acronyms and obfuscation of such - also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines || The main channels are English only, for other languages, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [04:22] bob98, (very belated sorry) i've seen tons of scripts (blogged about) that detect your external-ip-addr; i've never taken notice of them [04:23] guiverc: any idea how to track down such a script; if it is convinient - why not use it? [04:25] bob98: trivial [04:25] bob98, other than a search engine, not really. i'd likely have read it via liferea (my rss feeds) but as I've no use for it, I couldn't tell you where/when.. [04:26] (other than i've seen different approaches a number of times...) [04:26] just wget and parse [04:26] very trivial [04:26]

[04:28] maybe there is a way to make the ip command give a more elegant answer than by "ip addr show"? [04:29] headless_nick: could you explain that? [04:32] bob98, try `dig +short myip.opendns.com @resolver1.opendns.com` (this may be what antergos8382 was talking about; i wasn't watching) [04:35] guiverc: that gives the ip of opendns's server itself :( [04:37] bob98, it gives your wan ip, or should [04:43] ifconfig | grep inet && curl -s icanhazip.com [04:53] oerheks: that's elegant :) everything in one place! [04:54] heh [04:55] that should be a script in /usr/bin [04:57] antergos8382: I guess I confused the two ip's given by the command you suggested, sorry :) [04:59] btw, could you help a newbie, further his knowledge of bash with a good refference on usage of operators like: "&&, ||, |, @" etc.?

[08:11] mistnim, i'd check hardware (habit mostly), then look at what fs (filesystem) you're using and fsck (or as appropriate; my 18.04 uses xfs so it's xfs_check - i recently had to do it because of a glitch too) - doing this from live media (https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1518426 may help with fsck - i'm not good @ talking people thru stuff sorry) [08:14] mistnim, by checking hardware i meant the aforementioned `smartctl` command [08:14] guiverc: I did it, it looks good, also fsck doesn't report problems [08:15] I have encrypted disks though, I'm not sure it is as simple as fsck /dev/sda2? [08:16] mistnim, nah it'll mean you have lvm - i don't use often enough [lvm] to advise sorry. [08:18] lotuspsychje, I tried on 16.04.4 but again same error [08:18] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lvm - but I don't see what i'm looking (I think its pv|lv|vgcheck but not sure) [08:19] Anyone know a good way to diagnose why mod_rewrite is not working in .htaccess?

[09:02] hi all === Guest53326 is now known as Vinylourson === Richard is now known as Guest92096 [09:43] Periodically, a Google Chrome process starts using 100% CPU. I gradually drag the mouse over, jump by jump, to a terminal. I run top, wait for the keystrokes to show up. Then I kill the process. Computer works fine until another Chrome process does the same. [09:43] Is there any way to cap out Chrome processes at e.g 37% CPU? So there's always CPU left for other things? [09:48] pmitros: Haven't looked into that, but I suggest using a keyboard shortcut to switch to a terminal, instead of dragging the mouse [09:49] Animations in GNOME are choppy, e.g. when clicking on the "Show Applications" button (bottom left), anyone else experience this? [09:49] 18.04 [09:50] pmitros: I also expect that a standard answer's going to be "allocating CPU is something that should be left to the OS/kernel/magic". So. Just getting that answer out of the way. =) [09:51] Jonta: I have focus-follows-the-mouse so the mouse drag is pretty fast. Keyboard shortcuts are a bit slower, actually. My terminal's on a different monitor, and my window manager doesn't handle keyboard switches all too fluently there. [09:51] Jonta: It's sort of a hard mouse drag to the far left. [09:52] Aw [09:52] Jonta: And I'd be glad to leave CPU and memory management to the OS/kernel if it did a decent job with it. It doesn't. A slow process can grind everything else to a halt. I handled out-of-memory by buying more memory and making a large swap, but I can't do the same for CPU. [09:53] I know, I know. Just trying to preempt someone asking that question, and getting that answer [09:56] pmitros: Have you looked at `cpulimit` and `nice`? [09:58] 'Morning folks [10:00] BluesKaj: Morning [10:01] hi Jonta [10:02] Jonta: I'd looked into cpulimit. It's on a per-process basis sending start/stop messages to it, as far as I understand, which is a bit inefficient. It would also have to have a supporting daemon which called it on each new chrome process. [10:02] Jonta: I'm looking into cgroups right now. I don't know if it's the right thing. [10:02] pmitros: if anything, use cgroups for that [10:03] pmitros: look up `cgexec` command [10:03] I'm guessing you could even adjust the .desktop link to start chrome with cgexec [10:04] blackflow: Thank you. I just Googled it, and reading right now. [10:05] pmitros: however, note that this is just stopgap solution. Ideally you should try to figure out what's causing it. Since the entire UI is slowing down, I'd guess it's a gpu/acceleration issue. Which gpu you have there? [10:06] also, is it Chrome or Chromium? If Chrome, why? What do you need from it that Chromium doesn't have? [10:07] blackflow: I have a pair of NVidia cards. lspci shows GeForce GT 630. They are driving a fair number of pixels, though. 16 megapixels. [10:07] pmitros: nouveau or nvidia proprietary driver? [10:09] blackflow: I have similar issues across web browsers. [10:09] blackflow: Driver is "nvidia" in xorg.conf, which I think is NVidia proprietary. I remember messing with this many years back and trying all possible drivers until one worked. [10:10] pmitros: xorg.conf? Which ubuntu is that? [10:10] Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS [10:10] xenial [10:11] pmitros: and how did you install the nvidia driver? manually or through apt? [10:11] Honestly, I'm not sure; 90% odds manually, though. I remember messing with versions. [10:12] so it never received an update? [10:12] The setup was very finicky; I wouldn't want to upgrade. New versions both introduce and remove bugs. [10:13] Unless there were security issue, I'd want to stay with the same thing [10:13] pmitros,, do you recall downloading a driver from the nvidia website? [10:13] BluesKaj: I definitely did. But I installed/uninstalled many drivers before this started working correctly. [10:13] yeah, no. I think that's your problem right there. You should really do two things. First, remove the manually installed driver and let it be managed by apt. I'd personally recomend using the official graphics PPA for the latest nvidia, it's stable enough and fixes some major bugs I'm havign with bionic's default 390, but that's just me. [10:14] Second, backup xorg.conf and remove it from /etc/X11/ . You really don't need it unless you want some specific custom setup. [10:15] blackflow: I have a custom setup, and it is super-finicky. I have five monitors. One is 4k, and four are 1080p. Of the 1080p ones, two are rotated 90 degrees. [10:15] (and having it can easily lead to wrong config if you don't know what you're doing) [10:15] ah. [10:15] well.... then I'd recommend start with a newer driver. [10:15] blackflow: That leads to a non-rectangular overall shape for the screens, which some of the drivers had major bugs wiht. [10:16] blackflow: Apps were positioning themselves in non-existant parts of the desktop. [10:16] multi monitor setup is really the domain of the compositor, not the gpu driver [10:16] pmitros, although the website driver might work at first , after a kernel upgrade the driver module will no longer work due to dependency problems [10:16] or work properly [10:16] blackflow: Some of the drivers had major graphics relics. [10:16] and what BluesKaj said. each kernel upgrade would require you to rebuild all manually build drivers (or use dkms packages which triggers rebuild automatically) [10:17] I do know I've upgraded kernels many times since. [10:17] pmitros: you can alwyas revert back to runnign your manually built version (if you ahve the original nvidia .run file around). I'd seriously recommend you give newer versions a try. [10:17] nvidia was far more buggy years back in my experience. [10:18] pmitros: if you upgraded the kernel and didn't rebuild the driver..... then you're not really using the driver? can you check via xorg log? [10:18] yeah, nvidia drivers are quite stable now [10:18] (which really depends on how you upgraded the kernel really. if I'm not mistaken, minor revisions with no ABI change dont' require rebuild) [10:19] BluesKaj: 396 for me, though, from the graphics PPA. with 390, Gnome is crashing two, three times a day. [10:20] (but I blame gnome. I hve KDE and i3wm machines running 390 with zero issues) [10:20] log shows loading fine. LoadModule: "nvidia" Module nvidia: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation" compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 1.0.0 Module class: X.Org Video Driver [10:21] pmitros: what's 4.0.2 in this case? [10:22] surely not the kernel?! [10:22] pmitros, is the 396 the recommended driver for your gpu , not sure how one determines this on gnome ...I'm on kde/plasma [10:22] I've installed KDE-plasma on Ubuntu 18.04 and there is no wifi/network manager? I needed to connect to a wifi network and had to use nmtui. Any ideas? [10:22] blackflow: uname shows a 4.4 kernel. [10:23] Blues: I'm not running gnome. Just xmonad. [10:23] pmitros: so what's 4.0.2? Anyway, look deeper into the xorg log. It will load modules (the LoadModule line) but not necessarily use them [10:24] blackflow: I don't know. Perhaps it was compiled against 4.0.2 and is still somehow working? The log is clearly showing NVIDIA working. There are more log lines showing monitors, etc. [10:26] I just installed glxinfo. server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation (and all the other lines are similar). So it's clearly Nvidia's driver [10:27] The setup's imperfect, but it works. Until it breaks, I'm happy with it. Mostly, I just want the browser to not slow my system down. It seems like cgroups might be the way to go. I wouldn't mind a hard cap, though, like climit does. Burning 100% CPU, even with nothing competing, seems like it wastes power. [10:28] That seems unnecessary. [10:29] <_kj_> Hi folks, one stupid question regarding: this program https://pastebin.com/VvHi0RsF seems to succesfully bind to 127.0.0.1, but there is no way to see such binding in netstat -ntp or connect to 1234 using -p parameter. [10:30] <_kj_> Trying to figure out what is going on. In contrary, FreeBSD kernel in its Jail implementation correctly maps 127.0.0.1 to container IP, allowing user to connect to given port === sylvain is now known as Guest66214 [10:30] <_kj_> I think Linux kernel should do the same or return error if such bindind is not possible. [10:31] _kj_: you're not checking the return value of listen() [10:31] <_kj_> Yeah, but the problem is in bind(2), not in listen. [10:32] <_kj_> Apart from this, you are absolutely correct. [10:39] _kj_: if you're prevented from opening that socket because the port number is too low, you might well notice that only at the listen() [10:39] <_kj_> I tried also with error-checked listen [10:39] <_kj_> both (bind, listen) return success but no connection is possible [10:40] <_kj_> netstat also does not report anything [10:40] <_kj_> using -p problem still appears. [10:40] <_kj_> I am not sure if this is kernel-related bug or docker-related one. [10:41] <_kj_> However, clearly - situation when bind(2) succeeds and no binding is made is wrong. I spent 2hrs trying to debug why my app is not working and the reason was: bound to 127.0.0.1 was successful with no visible effect. [10:41] if you run the program outside the container, what's the effect? [10:41] <_kj_> Binds correctly. [10:41] <_kj_> (assuming no other program is listening on 127.0.0.1:1234) [10:42] if you run it inside, what's netstat show _inside_? [10:42] <_kj_> I will investigate. [10:45] i've got a pretty bare fresh install of 18.04 and a program i'm using launches a webserver, but i can't connect to it from another computer [10:45] ljc: sudo netstat -tulpn [10:46] see if it's there [10:47] <_kj_> Hmm, now I see. It looks like container has its own 127.0.0.1 [10:48] _kj_: of course, that's kinda the point of a container. you need to forward the port from your host into the container [10:48] <_kj_> Sure, I was pretty sure that like in Free, there is only one IP per container. [10:49] <_kj_> I did not expect 127.0.0.1 to be there, eh, newbie problems. [10:49] but even on bsd you'd have to EXPOSE that port, no? [10:50] <_kj_> It depends. [10:51] <_kj_> Basically, very basic configuration is via alias on existing interface. In such case you don't need to do that. [10:51] <_kj_> However, more complicated solutions - like interface per jail or fully virtualized network via VIMAGE requires some extended setup like redirect on firewall. [11:11] Good morning and good evening fellows; any topic related to Ubuntu Xenial ? [11:12] Hello everyone, I am having trouble resolving *.local domains in the office. When I connect to them via their VPN, it works (having prioritized dns over mdns4 in nsswitch) but when I am not on the VPN, that doesn't work either. What would you recommend I try to find out why there is this difference? [11:14] Just a simple guess, could it be related to smb.config? Samba === Richard is now known as Guest46457 [11:18] Have you tried reconfigured security access in the domain, ports, ect? [11:19] jakecross: avahi interferes with .local domains [11:19] !avahi [11:20] guess there's no factoid for that [11:21] What's avahi? [11:21] zeroconf [11:22] ppf, is there a simple way to remove avahi completely? [11:23] systemctl disable avahi-daemon [11:26] ppf, sudo systemctl list-units | grep avahi still shows avahi service and socket as loaded active running [11:27] yes, you need to stop it, too [11:27] will that persist between reboots? [11:27] disable will, stop will not [11:27] do I need to do the same with avahi-daemon.socket? [11:28] yes [11:28] Cool. Do I need to restart any other network services to get things working? [11:29] no i don't think so [11:30] Still no luck in resolving the .local domain after stopping and disabling avahi :( [11:30] let me try logging out to give it a jump [11:31] what about dns meaning resolve.conf? I suppose you could try restarting this [11:32] ppf, nope :( [11:32] might need / want to restart networking in general [11:32] is that systemctl restart networking [11:32] i think so [11:32] yeah [11:32] no dice [11:33] how about network-manager.service :) [11:33] The strange thing here to me, is that even when Avahi was running, it wasn't an issue when I was on their VPN [11:33] When I connect to their wireless, that's when it stops resolving the local === amirpro_ is now known as amirpro [11:35] maybe with the vpn .local was returned as a dns search domain, but not on the wireless [11:35] (via dhcp) [11:35] Possible [11:35] How would I check the difference there? [11:35] connect, cat /etc/resolv [11:36] fo this on both networks and compare results [11:36] *do [11:36] `cat /etc/resolv` - no such file === Nicmavr is now known as Guest36323 [11:37] /etc/resolv.conf [11:38] oops right [11:39] on wireless: nameserver 127.0.0.53, search thetrainline.com [11:39] on vpn: nameserver 10.128.3.231, nameserver 10.128.3.232, search company.com company.com [11:40] Those lovely nameserver entries... they'll be why things work I guess. [11:42] gotta us nmcli to check the nameservers when on regular wifi === wanda is now known as wanda_ === fabricius1 is now known as fabricius [12:10] Hi!! everyone, Need some help!! My ubuntu vm just broke down. I don't know how but it is refusing to boot in GUI mode. The error that I'm getting is : "Inodes that were part of the corrupted orphan linked list found" [12:12] moreover, it says, "UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY: RUN fsck MANUALLY" === Richard is now known as Guest69828 [12:19] just type sudo fsck then follow instructions [12:20] digi_quake: just type sudo fsck then follow instructions [12:24] thanks mIk3_08. I did that.. and its now working fine [12:24] thanks a lot :) [12:25] Welcome digi_quake... Good Luck... [12:26] anyone know of programs that let you record your mouse movements and replay them? [12:27] like a macro? [12:28] yeah [12:28] i try to make backup in deja-dup and i get "gpg: decryption failed: Bad session key" :( [12:29] Haven't tried it myself, but this might work https://askubuntu.com/questions/752325/any-macro-recorder-programs-availiable/966018 [12:42] luxio, I have not used a record and playback tool, xdotool works for scripted things. [12:47] JimBuntu: unfortunately xdotool won't work for me, i need very precise specific mouse movements [12:47] complex ones [12:53] luxio, I use a teensy to overcome OS issues. Shows up as a HID and allows for complex playback of KB and mouse movements. Again, not a simple record and playback system though. [12:55] luxio, Have you already looked at cnee/gnee/xnee, xmacro, actiona & sikuli? [13:04] https://i.imgur.com/AA2Qo2z.png I'm getting this when trying to backup with deja-dup. Before this it kept thinking it was making the first backup. -_-; [13:12] hey everyone, how can i put shortcuts for application on Desktop? i tried dragging, but not working [13:22] Nordo: home/desktop folder [13:24] Nordo: /home/username/desktop [13:29] Hi! Where can I find the fix (patch) which closed this issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-4.6-armel-cross/+bug/799965 [13:29] Launchpad bug 799965 in gcc-4.6-armel-cross (Ubuntu) "cross-compiler doesn't have /usr/include on the search path" [Critical,Fix released] [13:34] how can i make 18.04 renew my ip? [13:36] ubuntu 18.04 came with gnome3, I've installed KDE, now I want to remove gnome3. Which is the main gnome package to remove? [13:39] nvm, link down/link up works, albeit overkill [13:39] .... dangit dime [13:45] I've `apt-get remove`d gdm3 gnome-shell ubuntu-desktop, but not much gnome stuff has been removed. I've still got a million things like gnome-calendar and gnome-younameit. [13:45] autoremove doesn't remove more gnome things. === amirpro_ is now known as amirpro === nat_ is now known as Natkeeran === hehehe is now known as Guest86752 === Guest86752 is now known as hehehe [14:06] Hey. I just booted back into a computer that I haven't used for some time, and I see that my version of ubuntu is 16. However when I do apt upgrade, apt dist-upgrade or do-release-upgrade, all of them respond that there are no updates available. How come? [14:07] Smilex: what version of ubuntu? [14:07] 16.04 Xenial [14:08] Smilex: sudo apt-get update [14:08] done [14:11] Smilex: now your upgrades should work [14:11] I've run `apt-get install firefox; apt-get remove --purge *gnome*` and it still wants to remove firefox... any ideas? [14:12] I've got kde-plasma installed. [14:12] Lope: let purge *gnome* finish and then install firefox === Euph0ria is now known as TabMasher [14:13] leftyfb: okay === stevenm_ is now known as stevenm [14:15] the answer was "do-release-upgrade -d" [14:16] leftyfb: they didn't [14:16] uh, no [14:16] I'm having problems installing nginx https://gist.github.com/skinuxgeek/5e2d37e6fc366d030a8c44e439ad02de [14:16] Smilex: do-release-upgrade updates to the next release [14:16] As in, it'll attempt to upgrade to 18.04 [14:16] leftyfb: I tried several times [14:17] I only got an update with do-release-upgrade -d [14:17] Am I breaking anything with that added flag? [14:17] Smilex: again, that will upgrade the release to a completely new version. Which I assume isn't what you're looking to do [14:18] skinux: which repo are those packages trying to pull from? (hint: use apt-cache policy) [14:18] I want to go from 16.04, to 18.04 [14:18] Smilex: ok, then do-release-upgrade is what you want. Running without -d won't be available until 18.04.1 is released in July [14:19] leftyfb: But this moves me to the next LTS, not 18.10? [14:20] Smilex: I'm not 100% sure to be honest. You DO NOT want 18.10. [14:20] Smilex: I would wait until 18.04.1 is released === someone_ is now known as somebody_ [14:23] Yeah. I keep getting burnt by always using the newest stuff [14:23] thanks [14:24] Smilex: you should stick with LTS releases. You're fine for now [14:24] i need to downgrade to e2fsprogs-1.42.12-2 under ubuntu 18.04. how can i do this? [14:24] somebody_: why? [14:24] leftyfb: because i want to use extundelete, which crashes with the latest e2fprogs but is said not to crash with e2fsprogs-1.42.12-2 [14:25] somebody_: doesn't looks like 1.42 is available in bionic [14:25] can i use some older ubuntu release which has e2fsprogs-1.42.12-2? [14:26] somebody_: 16.04. You could run that in an lxd container [14:26] Repo is us.archive.ubuntu.com bionic [14:26] @leftyb === sylvain is now known as Guest870 [14:28] leftyfb: 16.04 has version 1.42.13 regarding https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=e2fsprogs, i don't know whether this works. maybe i should try 14.04? [14:28] somebody_: I would try 16.04 [14:28] it's not possible to use the 14.04 repo for getting the previous e2fprogs version into bionic, right? [14:29] somebody_: I wouldn't [14:30] i'm running ubuntu live usb anyway so i only need those older e2fsprogs and do not care whether the rest of the system keeps running for long [14:30] somebody_: what version do you run normally? [14:30] normally i'm on arch linux [14:32] has anybody experienced ati driver issues after upgrading from 17.10 to 18.04? [14:32] i'll see which older ubuntu version i use for trying extundelete there. thanks for now! [14:47] Can anayone please compare kde with gnome [14:47]
