[00:10] <memo1> hi, im creating a unit file to work with systemd.  But when i use the execstart: /file.py > /log.log 2>&1 it dont save he log on the log.log file.
[00:11] <memo1> when i do tail -f log.log is empty
[00:11] <memo1> systemd supports redireccts?
[00:13] <oerheks> you need to give full path for that py script, i guess
[00:13] <oerheks> and the log wil also be written in /
[00:17] <memo1> im using full path.  But dont work
[00:45] <hackinghorn> my ubuntu hangs on boot
[00:46] <hackinghorn> I think it just cant load the GUI
[00:46] <hackinghorn> can I run gnome from X somewhere?
[00:48] <Mibix> is "sudo mke2fs -L B -m 0 -t ext4 -b 4096 -E lazy_itable_init=0 -O ^resize_inode /dev/sdb" the best way to format a disk to ext4 while leaving the most free space or can i somewhow have the inode data take up even less space?
[02:32] <jpmh> somehow ubuntu manages to "know" when to change to daylight time - what file does it use and how can I read that file?
[02:34] <hggdh> jpmh: tzdata is the basic package
[02:35] <jpmh> hggdh: yes - but how do I get the data that I want from it - I want to be able to determine when a given zone changes, if it does
[02:37] <hggdh> jpmh: you usually will deploy auxiliary data functions/methods to do that
[02:39] <oerheks> ls -l /etc/localtime
[02:39] <jpmh> hggdh: - you are beyond me with that statement, what do you mean?
[02:39] <tomreyn> jpmh: https://data.iana.org/time-zones/tz-link.html https://data.iana.org/time-zones/tz-how-to.html
[02:40] <jpmh> oerheks: yes - I can get my own, in fact: timedatectl is really good, gives me all I need for MY zone.  I want to beable to get ort for other ones too
[02:40] <jpmh> tomreyn: heading to look at that now - ty
[02:41] <jpmh> tomreyn: that will take some time to read but think it has ALL I need thanks
[02:41] <oerheks> for other ones?
[02:41] <tomreyn> jpmh: what you got there is a database in binary form. it is compiled into this form from (human readable) source data. those links explain how to get the source data and how toi read / interpret it.
[02:43] <jpmh> tomreyn: yep - looks like what I want can be parsed from those sources - if there is no tool that will let me get it from what ubuntu has - I would prefer to use the db that ubuntu has though
[02:44] <jpmh> oerheks: I need to be able to tell when OTHER time zomes will change.  We have a POS system and till this point has all been in US and canada - so either dayligh happens or it does not on the same date.  Now as we enter EU we need to handle the fact that they use different dates
[02:47] <jpmh> so,it looks like the data base that was suggested MAY contain errors (per its author), does anyone know how I can extract the data from the one that ubuntu already has
[02:47] <lokhamb> Hello, I am a beginner in Ubuntu and I am having difficulty in installing apps using terminal. I tried to install Pdfchain, Vlc etc. using terminal just by finding commands on internet but they failed. please give a solution.
[02:48] <oerheks> "timezone package for Novell's Linux products is updated regularly to reflect regulatory DST changes." ,.. http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man3/DateTime::TimeZone::Catalog.3pm.html
[02:48] <oerheks> hmm now find the database
[02:50] <hggdh> jpmh: all TZ databases MAY contain errors. It is, for all that matters an unlimited mess
[02:51] <jpmh> hggdh: I agree - but since my systems all run ubuntu I can live with any errors in it's data base - the one that was referenced sayd that it is independantly maintained and may not be crrecr
[02:53] <hggdh> jpmh: the tzdata comes from IANA (and it is the same for Debian and Ubuntu & derivatives
[02:53] <hggdh> https://www.iana.org/time-zones
[02:54] <oerheks> python and pytz, http://pytz.sourceforge.net/
[02:54] <hggdh> there may be MANY other sources for TZ data, and any can be better or worse than what we use
[02:54] <hggdh> oerheks: yep
[02:54] <jpmh> oerheks: yep - that looks like the data that I want - nowlet me see if I can parse it
[02:55] <oerheks> have fun!
[02:56] <tomreyn> jpmh: IANA is an international standard body, there is most likely no more authoritative source. regarding pytz, read (and search for pytz): https://codeofmatt.com/2016/04/23/on-the-timing-of-time-zone-changes/

[02:59] <tomreyn> hackinghorn: you can try pressing ctrl-alt-f1 through -f8, one of them should give you a text login

[03:12] <hggdh> lokhamb: a PPA in your sources.list is out-of-date
[03:12] <lokhamb> so what should I do then?
[03:12] <hggdh> lokhamb: or has been deleted
[03:12] <hggdh> lokhamb: so you should take them out
[03:12] <lokhamb> I tried to install every app but same error message is coming
[03:13] <lokhamb> Actually I have newly installed Ubuntu 18.04
[03:13] <hggdh> lokhamb: and will keep on coming, until you clean up your APT sources
[03:13] <lokhamb> Can you direct me how will I do that?
[03:13] <hggdh> lokhamb: well, not *newly*. You have two (at least) stale PPAs
[03:14] <lokhamb> I don't know much about ppa though.
[03:14] <lokhamb> As I am new on Ubuntu
[03:17] <lokhamb> What will be my next step of solving this ppa problem?
[03:22] <guiverc_t> hggdh, http://ppa.launchpad.net/lzh9102/qwinff/ubuntu/dists/  (error on line 10) shows that repo you added does not support bionic (18.04).  I'd suggest commenting that line out (put a # as the first character of its line). it's a line you've added as PPAs aren't there for new installs.  it'll be in /etc/apt/sources.list (a text file), or in a file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
[03:24] <guiverc_t> hggdh, ditto next one (http://ppa.launchpad.net/noobslab/apps/ubuntu/dists/ - 18.04 bionic is not supported)
[03:29] <tomreyn> !ppapurge | lokhamb
[03:30] <tomreyn> i dont know how well ppa-purge works with ppas which no longer exist, though
[03:30] <tomreyn> worth a try
[03:30] <lokhamb> ok
[03:31] <lokhamb> is there any options to bring back ppa instead of ppa purge
[03:31] <tomreyn> lokhamb: your PPAs to remove are: ppa:lzh9102/qwinff ppa:noobslab/apps ppa:pdfchain-team/ppa
[03:31] <tomreyn> lokhamb: how do you mean bring back? these PPAs no longer exist, what do you intend to do?
[03:32] <lokhamb> PPA no longer exist mean??
[03:32] <lokhamb> Is it automatically removed or what?
[03:33] <tomreyn> well, they may still exist, but not provide packages for your ubuntu release
[03:34] <tomreyn> for example the one you just added, ppa:pdfchain-team/ppa, https://launchpad.net/~pdfchain-team/+archive/ubuntu/ppa  provides packages fopr ubuntu releases intrepid to saucy only.the newest one is saucy
[03:34] <tomreyn> !saucy
[03:34] <tomreyn> as you can see, this is really outdated
[03:34] <tomreyn> and you should not have installed such a PPA in the first place.
[03:35] <tomreyn> lokhamb: ^
[03:35] <guiverc_t> the noobslab one i looked at went to 15.04 only (which is old too!) lokhamb
[03:35] <lokhamb> So Can I install the pdfchain app anyway on my ubuntu?
[03:36] <tomreyn> which ubuntu release is this?
[03:36] <lokhamb> 18.04
[03:37] <tomreyn> !find pdfchain
[03:37] <tomreyn> https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=pdfchain
[03:39] <lokhamb> Actually I do not have any knowledge related to linux
[03:40] <lokhamb> So I am getting confused with all that
[03:40] <tomreyn> lokhamb: so the link i just posted shows that this package is not available (under this name, pdfchain, anyways) in the ubuntu release you run (18.04 / "bionic")
[03:40] <lokhamb> okay
[03:41] <lokhamb> you told me to remove those ppa, right?
[03:41] <tomreyn> but that it was available in earlier ubuntu versions. usually this happens when a package gets dropped by debian (or ubuntu). and this often happens when the developers of a software do no longer support a software.
[03:42] <tomreyn> lokhamb: that's what i did, right. they are not usable by your system, just throw errors, so you may as well remove them.
[03:42] <lokhamb> But I tried most of the app using terminal but not any oft= them are installing, showing the same error message. It means that all the packages have been outdated, right?
[03:43] <tomreyn> lokhamb: a PPA, like any APT repository, provides packages for a certain set of ubuntu releases. your ubuntu release, 'bionic / 18.04, is not amongst this set.
[03:44] <lokhamb> okay I understand now
[03:44] <tomreyn> so these PPAs are not compatible with your ubuntu release.
[03:45] <lokhamb> So can you give me the coomand to remove those old PPAs??
[03:45] <tomreyn> didnt i do this a while ago? :)
[03:45] <lokhamb> Yeah the link right??
[03:46] <tomreyn> !ppapurge | lokhamb
 i dont know how well ppa-purge works with ppas which no longer exist, though - worth a try
 lokhamb: your PPAs to remove are: ppa:lzh9102/qwinff ppa:noobslab/apps ppa:pdfchain-team/ppa
[03:47] <lokhamb> ok I got it
[03:47] <lokhamb> thank you
[03:47] <tomreyn> lokhamb: now read up on how to use ppa-purge, and use what you learnt to remove these PPAs. if you have more questions after reading the article, ask.
[03:48] <lokhamb> sure
[03:55] <lokhamb> I got this
[03:55] <lokhamb> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Jw59kZfcK3/plain/
[03:56] <lokhamb> what should I try next?
[03:59] <guiverc_t> !ppapurge | lokhamb - tomreyn sent this to you awhile back
[04:00] <lokhamb> okay
[04:01] <guiverc_t> (ie. ppa-purge needs to be installed first)
[04:01] <lokhamb> okay

[04:11] <tomreyn> lokhamb: if you run "sudo ppa-purge ppa:lzh9102/qwinff", does it return the very same output again?
[04:11] <tomreyn> lokhamb: if you run "sudo ppa-purge ppa:lzh9102/qwinff" again, does it return the very same output again?
[04:13] <tomreyn> okay, yes it will, since ppa-purge fails to remove repositories which have no release file. so we need to do it manually.
[04:15] <tomreyn> lokhamb: are you still looking for help witht his?
[04:16] <matso> hi
[04:17] <tomreyn> hi matso
[04:17] <matso> I have a question about setting up a local proxy server working with upstream socks5 proxy with auth.
[04:17] <lokhamb> how to do it manually?
[04:18] <matso> Who can help me?
[04:18] <tomreyn> lokhamb: first, you need to find out where the repository is configured, then delete this configuration. it will be in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
[04:18] <tomreyn> lokhamb: ls -l /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
[04:19] <guiverc_t> matso, ask your question (try & keep to one line please) and if someone knows the answer (& can) they'll provide help.  be patient too please.
[04:19] <lokhamb> okay
[04:19] <RoadRunner> compiled an app, got its executable and can't figure out how to change its permissions to start it...
[04:19] <tomreyn> lokhamb: once you know the exact file name, you can run: sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/EXACT_FILE_NAME (replacing EXACT_FILE_NAME by the repository file).
[04:20] <guiverc_t> RoadRunner, from term ./executable (the complier should have already set +x [execute])
[04:20] <tomreyn> lokhamb: you will also have an apt repository signing key stored in /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ - this also needs ot be identified and deleted.
[04:20] <guiverc_t> RoadRunner, `chmod +x executable-file`  if it didn't, but I can't imagine a compiler not having done that (if clean compile)
[04:21] <tomreyn> lokhamb: you want to delete both this PPA's *.gpg and *.gpg~ file using the 'rm' command.
[04:21] <tomreyn> * "sudo rm" ... rather
[04:24] <tomreyn> matso: the most versatile, and also complex, proxy server you could setup is probably squid.
[04:24] <RoadRunner> guiverc_t: so, the app is pidgin; in terminal .../bin$ pidgin
[04:24] <RoadRunner> pidgin: error while loading shared libraries: libpurple.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[04:25] <RoadRunner> didn't see any errors during compiling but it seems something went wrong...
[04:26] <tomreyn> RoadRunner: was libpurpl built alongside pidgin? it's a general purpose library which pidgin makes use of, but it may not build it by default, or at all.
[04:26] <tomreyn> * libpurple
[04:31] <RoadRunner> I didn't compile libpurple sepparately; just followed pidgin's instructions: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Q6MhJT9r6x/ I believed the first line is suppose to get everything needed
[04:32] <lokhamb> okay
[04:35] <guiverc_t> RoadRunner, you could try running `sudo ldconfig` ; then try executing pidgin again...  (ldconfig updates run-time libs; if you compiled any) -- OR you may need to install libpurple (https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libpurple)
[04:36] <wr> systemctl restart ntp, how can it be added to cron for a restart?
[04:40] <RoadRunner> perhaps, I got tripped up by pidgin's instructions; here https://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/Installing%20Pidgin#IhavethesourcehowdoIbuildthisthing they say that "apt-get build-dep pidgin" gets all the dependencies. Does that not include the libraries such as libpurple?
[04:40] <matso> tomreyn: squid does not support socks5
[04:43] <Shmam> so how do people build ubuntu for different SBCs? I'm looking at ubuntu server for the orange pi but it's still on 14.04. Is there any way that I could build the new 18.04 for my orange pi?
[04:44] <tomreyn> matso: oh, i wasn't aware. well, there are others. what are you trying to do anyways? get several computers behind NAT to connect to the internet through an upstream socks5 auth proxy? or just one computer?
[04:46] <matso> tomreyn: I mean several computers
[04:50] <tomreyn> matso: dante supports socks5, probably also with authentication
[04:51] <matso> yes but its upstream socks5 does not support auth.
[04:54] <pantato> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Ndwt7BHscD/ just saw this in my ubuntu upgrade, should i worry?

[05:15] <pantato> tomreyn: 14.04 to 18.04 sudo do-release-upgrade
[05:16] <tomreyn> pantato: in one go? i'm not sure that's a good idea.
[05:17] <pantato> tomreyn: all i did was sudo do-release-upgrade . Not sure what I was supposed to do?
[05:18] <tomreyn> pantato: anyways, if you were wondering about the warnings on empty directories, i'd take note son them and run dpkg -S against them later if they're no longer in use you can then delete them.
[05:18] <tomreyn> pantato: that's what you'd do, that's fine. based on what you posted to the pastebin, you're upgrading from 14.04 to 16.04, though
[05:21] <pantato> tomreyn: i see, then i can upgrade to 18.04 after that?
[05:23] <tomreyn> pantato: yes, i dont see why not.
[05:25] <tomreyn> pantato: i sipect you will not be offered the 16.04 -> 18.04 upgrade just yet, thoguh, since it's not supported, yet (but you can do it nevertheless). your other option would be to start with a fresh 18.04 installation, of course.
[05:26] <tomreyn> that's probably also why you're actually upgrading to 16.04 now and not 18.04 (not sure why you think you are)
[05:36] <pantato> whaaat, there's no upgrade to 18.04 yet, tomreyn ?
[05:36] <pantato> that suuuucks
[05:36] <pantato> i'm super disappointed
[05:36] <pantato> i was all excited too :(
[05:39] <tomreyn> pantato: it's not like htis is a well hidden fact. just read the release notes .

[05:55] <Sez> hi
[05:56] <Sez> trusty is still supported?
[05:57] <Sez> read that as gets updates?
[05:57] <guiverc_t> Sez, yep. 14.04 released 2014.April (hence 14.04) has 5 years of supported life
[05:57] <Sez> guiverc_t: ok so how to contact the clamav maintainers?
[05:57] <Sez> they are stuck on 0.94 and seems like there will be no 0.100
[05:58] <Sez> not that i do untrust it as signatures are still updated
[05:58] <guiverc_t> Sez, packages usually stay the version they are; with only security bug-fixes backported to them (not new features).   data [sig] files though are updated
[05:58] <Sez> but maybe some less experienced users could be irritated by the usual warning
[05:59] <guiverc_t> Sez, https://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/clamav
[05:59] <guiverc_t> (please note the request to file a bug first, before contacting devs! Sez )
[06:00] <Sez> guiverc_t: ;) thx taking mental note that recompiling and repackaging myself is more suitable ;)
[06:00] <guiverc_t> :)
[06:01] <Sez> just a hint for lesser experienced users ;) as clamav does prominently warn around about its version ;)

[07:30] <qwebirc10589> "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. "
[07:30] <Dirkos> systemd-resolve status keeps giving me: Unit dbus-order.freedesktop.resolve1.service not found
[07:30] <Dirkos> Think due to this i dont have dns since my /etc/resolv.conf is empty
[07:31] <tomreyn> qwebirc10589: i suggest you do as the message says
[07:33] <tomreyn> hanabishi: there is a way to store your savegames in the steam cloud, it depends on the game whether or not it supports and uses this. transferring savegames manually *may* be possible but that's not really something i could help you with.
[07:34] <tomreyn> Dirkos: do you have resolvconf installed? dpkg -l resolvconf
[07:34] <Dirkos> is that a "one" ?  tomreyn
[07:35] <Dirkos> apt says it is installed
[07:36] <auronandace> !resolvconf
[07:36] <tomreyn> Dirkos, you mean the option to dpkg? that's an L
[07:37] <Dirkos> its there but maybe in error though
[07:38] <tomreyn> Dirkosdo you use dhcp to configure networking and resolvers?
[07:38] <tomreyn> i.e. do you not need to specify those normally?
[07:39] <Dirkos> tomreyn: yeah all is coming frmo dhcp
[07:39] <Dirkos> No they are coming from the network
[07:42] <Dirkos> So im a bit stuck haha
[07:42] <tomreyn> Dirkos: which ubuntu release is this?
[07:44] <Dirkos> 18.04 tomreyn
[07:44] <tomreyn> Dirkos: did you upgrade to it or wass it a fresh installation?
[07:46] <tomreyn> Dirkos: what'S the output of "file /etc/resolv.conf"?
[07:47] <matso> tomreyn: I solve my problem with tinyproxy latest version.
[07:48] <Dirkos> tomreyn: its the default one that i should change the file
[07:48] <Dirkos> That its a dynamic file with resolver at 127.0.0.53
[07:48] <tomreyn> matso: thats a http proxy only, isnt it?
[07:49] <tomreyn> aLeSD_: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata" -> "None of the above" -> UTC
[07:51] <Dirkos> tomreyn: when i check it in systemctl resolv1.service does not even exists
[07:52] <matso> yes it is a http server which support upstreams like socks5,4 https , ... with auth.
[07:53] <matso> I compiled tinyproxy source and everything works
[07:53] <tomreyn> Dirkos: if this is a desktop computer, configure the resolver in network manager (using the top right network icon), if it's a server, configure it in /etc/systemd/network/. common resolvers which are available for free public use are 1,1,1,1 (cloudflare) 9.9.9.9 (quad9.com) 8.8.8.8 (google)
[07:54] <tomreyn> matso: okay, glad it works for you.
[07:54] <tomreyn> Dirkos: can't help you more, got to go for a while. good luck.
[07:54] <matso> thank you so much for your advice
[07:55] <Dirkos> tomreyn: correct but my internal network is pushing it so
[07:57] <FManTropyx> I am guessing vsftpd stands for very serious ftp daemon
[07:57] <lotuspsychje> FManTropyx: ftp is a protocol that isnt secure anymore these days
[07:57] <lotuspsychje> FManTropyx: its advisable you look for more secure alternatives
[07:58] <FManTropyx> security is overrated
[08:00] <danlii> I'm having some trouble with a fresh install of bionic via FAI (don't know if that's related) - it refuses to boot from the disk UUID, I have to specify /dev/vg0/root in grub. The UUID in the grub config is correct though, blkid says so. What could I try?
[08:01] <lotuspsychje> danlii: can you tell us more about the installing you trying?
[08:02] <lotuspsychje> danlii: aka: desktop/server? hd type? install type?
[08:03] <danlii> lotuspsychje: Server, on a VMware vsphere system.
[08:03] <danlii> So the hd type would be vmware pvscsi.
[08:04] <lotuspsychje> danlii: perhaps #ubuntu-server will be more suitable for your issue then
[08:04] <danlii> Huh. OK, thanks.
[08:06] <Gegsite> hey
[08:06] <lotuspsychje> Gegsite: welcome to ubuntu support, what can we do for you?
[08:06] <Gegsite> on 18.04 is it okay to not do anything for pm-suspend in console?
[08:07] <Gegsite> as root ofc
[08:10] <Gegsite> hoi lotuspsychje
[08:18] <Gegsite> looks like some module stuck when coming back from suspend (I have a suspend button on my keyboard), got numlock working after 15 sec from power up, but black screen, no response. Tho the suspend is working fine on 16.04
[08:28] <Gegsite_> hey
[08:29] <Gegsite_> so I made some log while suspending here is it
[08:31] <Gegsite_> https://pastebin.com/G327CsxX
[08:31] <Gegsite_> have to go, bye!
[08:34] <altin> Hi there, does anyone else have problem with gnome. Just when I login it sends me back to login screen again, and then I try to login again but it just freezes there.... Im using 18.04. I have nvidia gtx 1050 and ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
[08:35] <dominik2> Hi, I just started using the XMonad tiling window manager on ubuntu and I noticed that when I go to an unused virtual desktop, it still shows the windows from a previous screen
[08:35] <dominik2> instead of an empty black screen
[08:35] <dominik2> does anyone know why this might be?
[08:38] <ASssus> Hello all having trouble with "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" on a new 16.04 install. How can i enable it? I've tried all the hot keys etc
[08:43] <guiverc_t> ASssus, this may help http://www.dell.com/support/article/us/en/28/sln308258/precision-xps-ubuntu-general-touchpad-mouse-issue-fix?lang=en
[08:43] <ASssus> thank you
[09:01] <Lope> I've just started ubuntu 18.04, recently installed. And fdisk -l shows I have 7 loopback devices... any idea what caused this? loop0 14.5M, loop1 1.6M, loop2 86.6M, loop3 140M, loop4 139.5M, loop5 86.6M, loop6 13M, loop7 12.2M
[09:01] <Lope> 8 loopback devices
[09:03] <memphisto> Lope: those are snaps
[09:04] <memphisto> Lope: https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/basic-snap-usage#0
[09:04] <Lope> Sorry, 13 loopback devices: loop8 86.9M, loop9 2.3M, loop10 3.3M, loop11 3.7M, loop12 21M
[09:13] <luxio> When I exit fullscreen on VLC, I get artifacts for a bit less than a second
[09:13] <luxio> anyone else experiencing this problem on 18.04?
[09:24] <aruns> Hi, anyone know of a good SFTP command line client I can install for Ubuntu that lets me write changes to files on the remote SFTP server?
[09:25] <aruns> So far, the only one I know about is lftp, but I remember having huge latency issues when running it on Mac.
[09:35] <Lope> Will snap packages replace apt repos?
[09:36] <Lope> If I don't want all the snap loopback devices, can I disable the snap daemon or whatever? How about I just re-enable snap if I ever need it?
[09:40] <tomreyn> Lope: if you prefer not to use snaps at this time, you can uninstall them, and uninstall snapd, too.
[09:40] <blackflow> Lope: Ubuntu is moving toward having more and more applications installed via snaps but it'll probably never fully replace apt. With Bionic onward, I'm not sure it'd be recommended to disable snaps without affecting system use. Eg. in Bionic, the gnome calculator is now a snap, which would then have to be reinstalled from apt, if you want the calc.
[09:43] <Lope> backflow: thanks. will just boycott snaps. 14 loopback devices it too much to ask unless snapd also makes me sandwiches.
[09:46] <XXCoder> whats snaps?
[09:46] <XXCoder> sounds like apt replacement
[09:48] <blackflow> XXCoder: not replacement, just alternative delivery mechanism -- containerized applications straight from the vendor. Still hot from the oven. With all the ups and downs of that :)
[09:48] <XXCoder> interesting. thanks
[09:48] <Lope> `systemctl disable snapd; systemctl mask snapd; reboot` didn't get rid of the 14 snapd loopback devices. only `apt-get remove --purge snapd`
[09:50] <blackflow> Lope: did you check which snaps were installed and if that will break your system without replacing the applications?
[09:50] <grr12314> hello. im trying to use ruby-compass but the one installed from apt repos pulls ruby-chunky-png 1.2.8 which is buggy. if i 'sudo gem install chunky_png' it installs 1.3.10 but also 1.2.8 stays installed, and i'm not sure which one gets used in the end. (the buggy behavior remains, but i can not tell for sure if this is the cause)
[09:50] <Lope> blackflow: YOLO
[09:51] <grr12314> how can i install just 1.3.10? is there like a more up-to-date ppa or something that i can use?
[09:51] <blackflow> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[09:51] <Lope> I suppose I should have. but if I find something missing, I'll apt-get install it. Not a big deal.
[09:53] <tomreyn> grr12314: you can just use the 'gem' command. i'd restrict it to a user, though, keeping the rest of the system use ubuntu packages.
[09:54] <Lope> blackflow, `apt-get --purge-antichrist --with-vengence snapd`
[09:56] <pantato> can i upgrade from 16.04 to 17.10 to 18.04 ?
[09:57] <pantato> tomeaton17 ?
[09:58] <rion> Is symlink from /etc/resolv.conf to /run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf created only in systemd.postinst ?
[10:19] <jiuyue> ???
[10:20] <tomeaton17> Hello, I am trying to clone my hard drive using clonezilla but the target device is only 1000gb and the source is 1024gb. What can I do
[10:23] <hateball> tomeaton17: clonezilla has an advanced option to force onto a smaller drive, provided there is space
[10:24] <hateball> tomeaton17: another option is to resize the partition(s) and clone those rather than device
[10:24] <tomeaton17> hateball: What do you mean by provided there is space?
[10:25] <hateball> tomeaton17: that is, if your 1024GB device is using <1000GB actual data
[10:25] <tomeaton17> hateball: ok, it definitely is
[10:26] <hateball> tomeaton17: well then if you use expert mode you can try the -icds option
[10:26] <hateball> tomeaton17: it does not always work, I should note
[10:26] <turniip[m]> tomeaton17: it has compression options
[10:26] <turniip[m]> tomeaton17: if its that close compression should handle that easily
[10:26] <hateball> turniip[m]: that's only useful making an image
[10:27] <hateball> I assume this is 1:1 cloning
[10:27] <turniip[m]> you can make a clone image
[10:27] <tomeaton17> hateball: that is correct
[10:27] <tomeaton17> A clone image will take more time to restore ?
[10:27] <turniip[m]> an image is a clone :)
[10:27] <turniip[m]> why you think it has that option for an image on clonezilla :P
[10:28] <hateball> clone in this case is actually partimag moving data, not compressing it to a single file for later restore
[10:28] <turniip[m]> for what purpose?
[10:28] <hateball> tomeaton17: anyway, like I said you can also resize the source partition so that it fits on the 1000GB device, then clone partition rather than device. or manually create partitions and rsync data
[10:29] <turniip[m]> tomeaton17: you trying this for a backup or what purpose?
[10:29] <tomeaton17> I need to backup my computer as I need to reinstall and then takes files I need off the backup drive
[10:30] <turniip[m]> can i ask why you need to reinstall tomeaton17 ?
[10:30] <turniip[m]> instead of just deleting those files
[10:30] <Haris> hello all
[10:30] <tomeaton17> turniip[m]: my windows install is ruined
[10:30] <Haris> does xenial / 16.x support PHP mongodb driver for mongodb 3.6.x ?
[10:30] <tomeaton17> and I want to install a new version of ubuntu
[10:30] <tomeaton17> so might as well reinstall the whole thing
[10:30] <turniip[m]> tomeaton17: are you talking about a file based backup instead of a full clone?
[10:31] <turniip[m]> full clone does your os and everything
[10:31] <tomeaton17> turniip[m]: I just want to have an exact copy of my hard drive on an external disk, so I don't lose any files. I would also like this files to be easily copied back to the reinstalled computer
[10:31] <hateball> tomeaton17: then you want rsync, not clonezilla
[10:31] <turniip[m]> oh i c
[10:32] <tomeaton17> but will rsync work for all partitions?
[10:32] <turniip[m]> cloning the broken os wont do you any good you want to backup the files tomeaton17
[10:32] <hateball> tomeaton17: you'd need to create them manually, if you have multiple, then rsync accordingly
[10:32] <turniip[m]> cloneing is like your using your os right now
[10:33] <tomeaton17> I thought I could just clone and just take the files off
[10:33] <hateball> tomeaton17: but again, just resize a partition with free space so they will all fit onto the backup drive, then clone partitions. same result as rsyncing
[10:33] <turniip[m]> tomeaton17: i assume this is ubuntu?
[10:34] <turniip[m]> right? you can use the rescue disk mount the files if it readable and use sudo cp -a /folder/. destination usb
[10:34] <turniip[m]> mounting the files with the rescue disk usually works fine
[10:35] <turniip[m]> then you can simply copy them to a usb ..reinstall and then copy back
[10:35] <turniip[m]> easy way with sudo cp -a /folder-youwanttocopy/. destination-file
[10:35] <turniip[m]> put the dot for hidden files too
[10:36] <turniip[m]> -a is for archive it does recursive and permissions
[10:36] <turniip[m]> that should be like an exact state copy of the folder
[10:37] <turniip[m]> tomeaton17:
[10:37] <turniip[m]> i actually did this recently so i know it works lol
[10:37] <tomeaton17> Eh I kinda want to try out clonezilla lol
[10:37] <tomeaton17> it does the same thing?
[10:37] <turniip[m]> lol making it a lot harder
[10:38] <turniip[m]> just pop in the rescue disk it should  read the files and copy to usb and call it a day :P
[10:38] <tomeaton17> I can see progress with clonezilla I think
[10:38] <tomeaton17> hateball: what is the flag to force it to fit?
[10:38] <turniip[m]> remember -a and the .
[10:38] <turniip[m]> lmao
[10:39] <hateball> tomeaton17: -icds
[10:39] <turniip[m]> be careful before you overwrite your files and the rescue disk won't help you then tomeaton17
[10:40] <turniip[m]> rescue disk being the live cd for clarification :)
[10:40] <tomeaton17> hateball: okay. and its not a problem that the last partition will have 24gb dangling?
[10:40] <tomeaton17> turniip[m]: If I lose all my files that you can tell me I told you so :p
[10:40] <turniip[m]> i just might :P
[10:42] <hateball> tomeaton17: as I said it doesnt always work properly, you're better off resizing a partition that has free space and then clone partitions instead of device
[10:42] <hateball> resizing in this case being shrinking
[10:42] <turniip[m]> tomeaton17: will you choose door number a or door number b :)
[10:42] <tomeaton17> can I shrink the partition in clonezilla
[10:43] <hateball> tomeaton17: for instance if the FS is fragmented then you might have blocks outside the boundary, then -icds will do you no good
[10:43] <turniip[m]> kiss your files goodbye
[10:43] <tomeaton17> right I think I might just ask if tech support have a bigger hard drive lol
[10:44] <hateball> tomeaton17: well you can use resize2fs and parted on the cli, but it's easier just livebooting gparted-live or the ubuntu installer which has gparted
[10:44] <turniip[m]> or using the live cd and use cp -a :)
[10:44] <hateball> tomeaton17: then you have a gui to just drag and resize. incidentally you could from that gui also simply copy over your files to the backup drive, using a gui. or rsync
[10:44] <hateball> cp is slow :|
[10:45] <tomeaton17> yeah
[10:45] <hateball> but rsync is not, and it supports resuming
[10:45] <turniip[m]> one command and you can do what you need to do and come back
[10:45] <turniip[m]> less risky
[10:45] <Scotty_Trees> i like grsync ;-)
[10:45] <turniip[m]> does the time it take to figure this out count as well :)
[10:46] <turniip[m]> asking for a friend :)
[10:46] <tomeaton17> Okay what about if I get a 2tb hard drive and use clonezilla on that is that safe
[10:46] <loru> Hi everyone. using ZFS on ubuntu here. I had an issue with lxd, had to restart the server by force and now the zfs dataset can't be mounted anymore, here is my pastebin https://paste.debian.net/plainh/9e144614
[10:46] <hateball> tomeaton17: then your partitions will fit, so yes
[10:46] <loru> It's supposed to be a raid1 config (mirror) /dev/sda4 & /dev/sdb4 but I cannot manage to find the partition using zfs
[10:47] <tomeaton17> is rsync or clonezilla faster?
[10:48] <hateball> tomeaton17: rsync
[10:48] <hateball> well I suppose you can use compression with partimag also
[10:49] <loru> Using zdb: https://paste.debian.net/plainh/093ce5c2
[10:49]  * turniip[m] begins his stopwatch
[10:50] <turniip[m]> having said that clonezilla is excellent for a good backup in an exact state.. assuming your os is working :)
[10:51] <tomeaton17> I am about to start it guys
[10:51] <tomeaton17> I will let you know when I start
[10:51] <turniip[m]> lol
[10:51] <tomeaton17> I think it will take a long time
[10:51] <turniip[m]> let us know when you lose your file too :)
[10:51] <blackflow> maybe even provide us with 10-second updates on how the progress bar goes.
[10:51] <tomeaton17> blackflow: I could set up a twitch stream if you want?
[10:52] <ff8hXc> keen
[10:52] <blackflow> please do! :)
[10:52] <turniip[m]> please
[10:55]  * coconut likes Scotty_Trees for telling him grsync exist
[10:55] <tomeaton17> I am going to use rsync actually
[10:56] <Scotty_Trees> you're welcome coconut ;-)
[10:56] <tomeaton17> How can I use this on a live usb?
[11:14] <sa_> I connected to IRC channel(#dri-devel) on freenode server, but i'm not able to send any messages, any idea how to solve this?
[11:15] <TimeDoctor> the channel might just block new users
[11:15] <TimeDoctor> or unregistered users
[11:23] <anonymip> sa_, I tried that channel and I had no problem sending a message.
[11:24] <md_5> is there a way to extend the gnome header bar with the clock etc across all monitors
[11:29] <cesdo> hi guys! How can I connect to the Internet (pptp) using command line?
[11:29] <cesdo> My network manager deleted!
[11:32] <memphisto> loru: not into zfs but i
[11:32] <memphisto> im interested. could you check this http://list.zfsonlinux.org/pipermail/zfs-discuss/2015-February/021046.html
[11:33] <memphisto> *interested in your problem. i'm not running zfs
[11:37] <tomeaton17> Okay well I am trying to mount my windows partition and then copy it with rsync. But because the window os is broken when i mount it says "this disk contains an unclean file system" falling back to read only. This causes rsync to fail. what can I do
[11:39] <hateball> tomeaton17: if windows is broken then you only have ntfs-utils to try and fix it with
[11:39] <hateball> tomeaton17: namely ntfsfix
[11:51] <KingPapuPapu> Good evening everyone.
[11:53] <tomeaton17> hateball: that worked thanks
[11:54] <KingPapuPapu> I love IRC
[11:57] <hateball> tomeaton17: :)
[12:10] <sdfh> so i am running mount -o usrquota,grpquota remount /dev/xvdb
[12:10] <sdfh> i have mounted a partition, now i want to remount and make sure the quota is on
[12:10] <sdfh> it says mount: you must specify the filesystem type ---- this is the error i get
[12:11] <XenophonF> loru: the `zpool import -d` command doesn't take a pool name
[12:11] <XenophonF> so try just `zpool import -d /dev`
[12:12] <XenophonF> also try `zpool import -d /dev -D`, which should list destroyed pools too
[12:15] <XenophonF> if it was destroyed you can try importing it with `zpool import -D tank`
[12:15] <XenophonF> obvs double check all those commands against the man pages
[12:15] <XenophonF> and good luck
[12:16] <sdfh> any fix for my question?
[12:16] <Dirkos> I have a fresh install of 18.04. PRoblem is that i have a local DNS server (172.20.220.20) but somehow all records from there are not resolving. NSlookup cant find the domains somehow even though im 100% they exists
[12:16] <Dirkos> When i set the nameserver hardcoded it is also resolving
[12:16] <Dirkos> its now resolving on 127.0.0.53 but seems in that cache layer something is not going as expected
[12:22] <XenophonF> sdfh: your mount command is wrong
[12:22] <Han> Hi there. I have a package "freeipa-client" which requires chrony to be installed. Our monitoring needs ntp to be installed. So now puppet commes in and one time installs chrony and the next time installs ntp. How can I make sure chrony is no longer installed without breaking freeipa-client?
[12:23] <XenophonF> should be `mount -u -o usrquota,grpquota /dev/xvdb` or `mount -o usrquote,grpquota,remount /dev/xvdb` (can't remember if Linux mount uses BSD syntax)
[12:24] <XenophonF> Han: leave chrony installed but have puppet disable the service?
[12:24] <XenophonF> assuming chrony installs a service
[12:26] <Han> XenophonF, chrony uninstalls ntp, ntp uninstalls chrony
[12:26] <sdfh> XenophonF: could you correct me
[12:27] <sa_> anonymip: ok, but i'm getting "== Cannot send to channel: #dri-devel"
[12:28] <Han> XenophonF, it should work just like with postfix, remove it and some other mta will be installed.
[12:28] <sdfh> XenophonF: i get this mount: /mnt/vig not mounted already, or bad option
[12:29] <skinux> How do I get gnome clock to show 12-hour format
[12:29] <skinux> ?
[12:29] <anonymip> ok sa_, I see you aren't registered and identified, maybe you need to be in that paricular channel?
[12:30] <sa_> anonymip: even for this channel i did not registered, but i'm able to send messages. But, any idea how to register?
[12:31] <anonymip> skinux, https://www.google.se/search?q=gnome+clock+12+h+format&oq=gnome+clock+12+h+format&aqs=chrome..69i57.8327j0j9&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
[12:31] <XenophonF> Han: gotcha
[12:31] <XenophonF> where are you getting this freeipa-client package?
[12:32] <Han> apt-get install freeipa-client
[12:32] <anonymip> sa_, type: "/nickserv register" and you'll get information on how to do it, without ""
[12:32] <XenophonF> well, duh, but is this from the ubutnu base repos or a third party?
[12:34] <Han> XenophonF, 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com:80/ubuntu bionic/universe amd64 Packages according to apt policy  freeipa-client

[13:01] <Han> XenophonF, fyi https://eric.lubow.org/2010/creating-dummy-packages-on-debian/
[13:05] <XenophonF> wow that's such a huge bummer, Han.  sorry.
[13:05] <XenophonF> loru: you might want to ask in #zfsonlinux too
[13:12] <tomeaton17> hateball: it finished thanks for the help
[13:18] <dagon^> hey guys, I'm trying to list folders in a dir but I want to match and list only folders that are named with 0-9
[13:18] <dagon^> Any ideas?
[13:18] <Han> XenophonF, not really, it's just silly. I'll use the dummy package.
[13:20] <anonymip> dagon^, so you mean 0-9 can be anywhere i the folder names, or do they start with a number?
[13:21] <dagon^> ls -ld *[0-9] kinda works but if a folder name contains a number it gets included, I want numbers exclusively
[13:21] <hateball> tomeaton17: :)
[13:21] <cpaelzer> dagon^: something like find . -maxdepth 1 -type d -name '[0-9]*'
[13:22] <anonymip> ok, so you only want to list folders that starts with a 0-9
[13:22] <dagon^> yes, I also want to exclude folders with the string _delete
[13:23] <dagon^> anonymip: I need to see the attributes since I'm gonna do a massive chmod
[13:23] <loru> XenophonF: Yep, I'm on it :)
[13:25] <grr12314> hello, does everyone with ubuntu have ~/bin and ~/.local/bin on their PATH? I have them 3 times for some reason, and they didnt even exist in the fs
[13:25] <grr12314> i also have the java bin paths repeated 3 times in PATH. why could that be?
[13:29] <deskwizard> Howdy! o/
[13:37] <dagon^> anonymip: found the easiest solution to be ls | grep -E '^[0-9]+$' > dirlist, then for word in $(cat dirlist); do chmod 755 $word; done
[13:37] <dagon^> since they're all supposed to have the same permissions
[13:40] <anonymip> ok dagon^, nice!
[13:40] <Asus15> hey all I've got trouble using my touchpad on a toshiba laptop on 18.04 LTS (same issue on 16.04 LTS) I've tried the hot keys and it works fine in other OS's. Please help?
[13:42] <anonymip> Asus15, is the issue about the touchpad or the hot keys, or both?
[13:42] <Asus15> the touchpad itself, sorry.
[13:42] <Asus15> It refuses to work
[13:42] <anonymip> ok, sounds like a driver issue
[13:43] <Asus15> it's a SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad
[13:44] <anonymip> Asus15, here:  sudo apt install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics someone suggested to do: sudo apt install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
[13:45] <Asus15> I will try it thank you
[13:45] <anonymip> yw, pleasa get back with the results
[13:45] <Asus15> once installed will i need to reboot do you think?
[13:46] <anonymip> I guess that was a reboot...
[13:49] <anonymip> how did it go Asus15?
[13:49] <Asus15> no luck unfortunately still not working.
[13:50] <Asus15> https://pastebin.com/9kRiUDvq
[13:51] <Asus15> anonymip, output from cat /proc/bus/input/devices
[13:51] <Asus15> Not sure if that is any help?
[13:52] <anonymip> nah, that doesn't say much to me, sorry
[13:52] <Asus15> seems to be a pretty common issue but no solutions online :(
[13:56] <grr12314> have you tested if it works with booting the livecd?
[13:57] <grr12314> (not sure if ubuntu livecd does a more exhaustive autodetection than a typical install, but i know thats the case for some other distros)
[13:57] <Asus15> it wouldn't work with the ubuntu install if that counts
[13:58] <Asus15> it has literally never worked on ubuntu. BIOS/Windows is fine.
[14:14] <Asus15> anonymip, https://pastebin.com/rnzttkDC is this any help?
[14:14] <anonymip> nope, sorry
[14:15] <Asus15> :(
[14:17] <transhuman> how long does it take for the subscription for the use mailing list to go through? I have been waiting for 2 days now
[14:18] <transhuman> s/use/user
[14:19] <grr12314> its listed in both of your pastes so should be working just fine...
[14:19] <leftyfb> transhuman: maybe try #ubuntu-website
[14:21] <MibixFox> so i am almost done backing up, formatting to ext4,  and copying back all my drives from NTFS and I've been realizing there is a .Trash-1000 at the root of most my drives now
[14:22] <MibixFox> i dont see anything in my Trash bin though
[14:22] <MibixFox> I assume those are safe to delete and just remnants of my old file system being ntfs?
[14:22] <leftyfb> they are safe to delete.
[14:23] <leftyfb> MibixFox: mind you, copying to NTFS did not save file permissions/onwership. You'll have to fix those once you copy them back
[14:24] <MibixFox> i changed the permissions once i created the ext4 partitions
[14:24] <MibixFox> also these lost+found folders that are empty?
[14:24] <MibixFox> safe to delete as well?
[14:24] <leftyfb> no
[14:24] <leftyfb> well, not on your ext4 filesystem
[14:24] <leftyfb> do not copy it from NTFS
[14:25] <leftyfb> but back to the permissions issue, you'll need to fix permissions for any files you copy from NTFS to ext4.
[14:25] <laceylaney> Hey guys.... Managed to convince a family member using windows to switch to Linux :) What software or librarys should I install for them to be able to transfer music & photos to a newer iphone & an ipod classic ??
[14:26] <MibixFox> i havent had any permissions issues, once i mount the drive i just do a sudo chown -R mibix:mibix /mnt/
[14:26] <MibixFox> im going from ntfs to ext4 btw if that wasnt clear
[14:26] <grr12314> Asus15: does synclient -l work and show some touchpad settings?
[14:27] <leftyfb> laceylaney: Windows with itunes
[14:27] <leftyfb> MibixFox: running that on an NTFS drive does nothing
[14:28] <MibixFox> im copying the data from an ntfs drive to an ext4 drive then doing it
[14:28] <leftyfb> ok
[14:28] <MibixFox> im not going to have any ntfs drives when im done
[14:28] <MibixFox> well i might leave a 1tb usb drive
[14:30] <Asus15> grr12314, https://pastebin.com/mkFW3emm
[14:31] <grr12314> TouchpadOff             = 1
[14:32] <Asus15> ah yes... hmm... how can i change that? obviously my hot keys aren't working for touchpad
[14:33] <grr12314> seems synclient can change any of those
[14:33] <zarzar1> how does ubuntu force all folders to be 4.1kB?
[14:33] <grr12314> they can also be set in some config files
[14:33] <zarzar1> is that an XDE thing?
[14:33] <Asus15> excellent ok thank you grr12314
[14:34] <Asus15> would you happen to know which config file(s) ?
[14:34] <leftyfb> zarzar1: that's not the size of the directories contents. Only what it takes for the directory to exist
[14:34] <zarzar1> oh ok
[14:34] <zarzar1> cool
[14:34] <zarzar1> sorry i didn't nmean size i meant display size
[14:35] <eddiej> clear
[14:35] <Haris> does xenial / 16.x support PHP mongodb driver for mongodb 3.6.x ?
[14:35] <Haris> the new driver for mongodb ?
[14:36] <leftyfb> Haris: just FYI, Ubuntu "Xenial" is 16.04. Not 16.x(16.10)
[14:37] <grr12314> Option entries in xorg.conf or a bunch of other variants, idk which apply to your system. https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1401645 i'd assume youve stumbled on this in your prior googling
[14:37] <eddiej> newbie here, I know bear with me.  so how do I copy my firefox and chromium settings from user1 to user2 user 3 etc so that the plugins/extensions I installed on each of them will remain ?
[14:37] <leftyfb> Haris: Ubuntu 16.04 by default only support mongodb 2.6.10
[14:38] <leftyfb> Haris: you might be able to find a PPA or compile another version from source. Just checked and you can find 3.3.9 from snaps
[14:38] <Haris> when can we expect mongodb 3.x support on ubuntu ?
[14:38] <Haris> is it stable enough for production ?
[14:39] <leftyfb> Haris: Ubuntu 18.04 has 3.6.3 available
[14:39] <eddiej> Is anyone even read my question here or am I being ignored here?
[14:39] <Haris> is 18.x available or stable for production ?
[14:39] <eddiej> :)
[14:40] <leftyfb> !patience | eddiej
[14:40] <leftyfb> Haris: 18.04 was released in April
[14:40] <eddiej> :) didnt repeat it
[14:41] <eddiej> well I should mention that this is for 16.04 running on VirtualBox however I really this make any difference.
[14:41] <leftyfb> eddiej: firefox settings are in ~/.mozzilla. Chrome settings are in ~/.config/google-chrome
[14:41] <eddiej> well I should mention that this is for 16.04 running on VirtualBox however I really done think this make any difference.
[14:41] <eddiej> yes I am aware of that
[14:41] <eddiej> and copied them
[14:41] <Haris> I was told 18.x isn't going to be stable enough for production untill some time in July
[14:43] <eddiej> laftyfb - I copied them but then I found I have premissions isssues so I tried with chmod 664 775 777 each had its own issues and had to remove the users and do again the whole thing.
[14:43] <Shabbysheik> eddiej: then use chown and change owner to new user instead
[14:44] <eddiej> I;m trying to see how do I copy then so each user will have their own owner premissions with no issues. becuase sometimes I log off user1 and login user2, and when I run firefox is said its already runing
[14:45] <Haris> thank you all
[14:45] <eddiej> Shabbysheik - which chmod settings should I use then? sudo chmod ??? -R ~/.mozilla  ?
[14:45] <leftyfb> eddiej: try copying(rsync) the settings when both browsers are closed. Change ownership (not permissions), log off, then log on as the new user
[14:46] <leftyfb> eddiej: chown, not chmod
[14:46] <eddiej> ahhhhhhhh
[14:46] <leftyfb> eddiej: the acl's are fine, you only need to change the ownership
[14:46] <eddiej> so chown +X ?
[14:47] <AaronMT> !warty
[14:47] <leftyfb> AaronMT: what can we help you with?
[14:48] <akem> !eol 17.10
[14:49] <grr12314> chown user:user -R ~user/.mozilla
[14:49] <grr12314> give or take a sudo as well
[14:49] <eddiej> :)
[14:49] <eddiej> thx

[15:24] <snowkidind> hey i have some basic question
[15:25] <snowkidind> what is lxd and what are containers, perhaps i know them as another name?
[15:26] <snowkidind> i keep getting proxy requests and i can see in the error log that bytes are beign transferred, and I looked at dpkg for proxy applications, found dnsmasq and its a dependency for lxd
[15:26] <snowkidind> so I am trying to figure out why i need lxd on my aws instance
[15:28] <snowkidind> for instance this:
[15:28] <snowkidind> 183.60.200.74 - - [27/Jun/2018:15:27:37 +0000] "GET http://dict.baidu.com HTTP/1.1" 200 1193 "-" "-"
[15:28] <snowkidind> says 1193 bytes were transferred
[15:28] <snowkidind> with 200 status code
[15:29] <transhuman> thanks leftyfb
[15:34] <leftyfb> snowkidind: what version of ubuntu?
[15:35] <snowkidind> 16.04.1 LTS (GNU/Linux 4.4.0-128-generic x86_64)
[15:35] <Guest61775> if i run the quota check command
[15:35] <Guest61775> quotacheck -acugm /mnt/mount_jimmy
[15:35] <snowkidind> Im thinking about doing an iptables ban on china and russia
[15:35] <Guest61775> i get bad number of arguments
[15:36] <leftyfb> snowkidind: dnsmasq is your local dns (caching) server. And just being it's a dependency of lxd, doesn't mean lxd is installed on your machine. It's not installed by default
[15:37] <leftyfb> snowkidind: what you're seeing is ALL DNS traffic to/from your machine/browsers/applications
[15:37] <snowkidind> thats an nginx log
[15:37] <snowkidind> only ports open are 80 and 443
[15:37] <snowkidind> thank you for your help
[15:38] <snowkidind> so not to worry about dnsmasq
[15:38] <leftyfb> snowkidind: ok, so that is traffic to/from your ngnix server. baidu is a popular search engine. It's crawling your website(s) just like google or yahoo would do
[15:38] <snowkidind> so thats why 200
[15:39] <snowkidind> how anout this one
[15:39] <snowkidind> 91.76.131.227 - - [27/Jun/2018:15:38:03 +0000] "GET http://static.doubleclick.net/instream/ad_status.js HTTP/1.1" 404 342 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.110 Safari/537.36"
[15:39] <snowkidind> and this one
[15:39] <snowkidind> 222.187.225.168 - - [27/Jun/2018:15:36:31 +0000] "CONNECT is.snssdk.com:443 HTTP/1.0" 400 182 "-" "-"
[15:39] <snowkidind> (404 not so scary)
[15:40] <snowkidind> but CONNECT + 400 - enh bad request
[15:40] <snowkidind> are those just script kiddies?
[15:40] <leftyfb> snowkidind: this isn't the appropriate place to explain web server logs to you. Maybe try #ubuntu-server. Though you should really just google and research if you're going to concern yourself with every line in your logs
[15:41] <snowkidind> nah i just had accidentally run a proxy on that server
[15:41] <snowkidind> a long time ago
[15:41] <snowkidind> and i killed it by switching to nginx from apache
[15:41] <snowkidind> and i want to make sure its ded
[15:41] <snowkidind> because amazon = $$$$
[15:42] <snowkidind> but i think iptables block china and other hack nations may be beneficial overall
[15:43] <snowkidind> as far as i know apache is long gone, totally uninstalled, but there was a miniscule change that the server was hacked and it was not my own doing
[15:43] <snowkidind> chance*
[15:44] <snowkidind> clearly what we have here is the combination of not knowing enough but knowing enough to damage things + tripping over my own shoestrings
[15:44] <leftyfb> snowkidind: sounds like you need to research security on web servers more. Good luck
[15:44] <snowkidind> only dealing with it once every 6 months also complicates it
[15:45] <snowkidind> yeah thanks. maybe ill try to get a cissp
[15:45] <snowkidind> lol
[15:45] <leftyfb> snowkidind: btw, it's very unlikely apache had anything to do with the exploit. More likely some php page you were/are hosting and it will just get exploited again
[15:45] <snowkidind> right
[15:45] <snowkidind> now 100% node
[15:47] <snowkidind> the part that messes with me is that I dont know the difference between a reverse proxy and a proxy server
[15:47] <snowkidind> like the proxy_pass line in the config file to get node working
[15:47] <snowkidind> makes me feel like i could totally screw that up
[15:48] <leftyfb> snowkidind: then you need to research. Again, this conversation is completely offtopic. You should really research more and ask for help as necessary in #ubuntu-server
[15:48] <snowkidind> I did. and you helped. now I am just venting. alas
[15:55] <Katronix> hi all, can someone look at https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/Xh3JqH3bp3/ how do I fully activate enp35s0 ?
[15:56] <leftyfb> Katronix: what version of ubuntu?
[15:58] <Katronix> @leftyfb, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
[16:00] <Katronix> leftyfb, was that what you needed to know?
[16:00] <Asus15> can someone help me i have just installed Ubuntu 18.04 LTS but my touchpad won't work. Hot keys do nothing.
[16:00] <oerheks__> Katronix, disable wireless in network manager, and wired should get dhcp
[16:00] <oerheks__> it can take a minute
[16:01] <Katronix> oerheks__, the one I want to enable is wireless also, but the wireless wizard doesn't see it
[16:01] <oerheks__> .. but you asked about enp35s0
[16:01] <oerheks__> so .. what is your real issue??
[16:03] <ioria> Katronix, weird output
[16:04] <Katronix> oerheks__, I'm trying to use this device: Bus 001 Device 007: ID 0bda:8179 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188EUS 802.11n Wireless Network Adapter

[16:06] <Katronix> oerheks__, currently my system is using a Kingston usb dongle, but its much slower
[16:07] <oerheks__> Katronix, and how did you install the driver? from the driver menu?
[16:08] <Asus15> ioria, yes
[16:08] <oerheks__> i read tons of issues, and one needs to build from github, as the manufacturor does not give the code

[16:12] <Katronix> ah yes, I put that one down by mistake :(
[16:12] <oerheks__> i think you better stick with your current wireless, that realteck is not good supported in linux
[16:12] <ioria> Asus15, xserver-xorg-input-synaptics is installed ?
[16:12] <Katronix> that sucks, because it would triple my connection speed, but oh well
[16:12] <Asus15> ioria yes
[16:13] <ioria> Asus15, and not working at all ? are you using external usb mouse atm ?

[16:49] <nacc> plujon: i think it depends on what you need and who you trust
[16:51] <plujon> nacc: As in, whether I trust Debian/Canonical more than the bundler maintainers (and other gems)?
[16:51] <nacc> plujon: right, and what version of things you need

[17:08] <Asus15> just tried all of them (and disabled wifi in the process.. ha!) still nothing. :(
[17:08] <ioria> Asus15,  did you remove the extra parameters in /etc/default/grub  ?

[17:51] <alxd> Hey! I have a problem with Brother DCP-7030 scanner on the latest Ubuntu Mate 18.04. I installed the latest version (tried both the old driver and the new installation script) and added user to both lp and scanner groups. Now the scanner is visible with sane-find-scanner, but not with scanimage -L / xsane / simple-scan
[17:51] <alxd> I think sane is not seeing brother3 backend. Do you have any idea why that might be?
[17:52] <mint> hello could someone help me fix my dual boot_
[17:52] <mint> ?
[17:52] <alxd> mint, what happened with it?
[17:52] <leftyfb> mint: what version of Ubuntu?
[17:53] <nacc> mint: and are you runing mint possibly?
[17:54] <mint> I have 2 hdd of 500Gb one with windows 10 and the other with kubuntu 16.04 and I was running out of space on both then I bought a 2 Tb hdd and using dd cloned the windows partition to the new hdd
[17:54] <dreamscape> You would need more than just the Windows partition cloned.
[17:54] <leftyfb> mint: you should just use something like clonezilla to clone the entire HDD to the new one. Verify both boot, then boot an ubuntu cd/usb and resize the partitions as needed
[17:55] <dreamscape> ^
[17:55] <mint> I thought unplugging the old windows 500 gb hdd and running boot repair from a live cd would be enough to set the grub in the new situation
[17:55] <leftyfb> mint: you'll need to run grub install and update grub
[17:55] <leftyfb> mint: chrooted to the OS
[17:55] <mint> but I get grub console at boot and the error> failure reading sector 0fxc from hd2
[17:56] <mint> ok reading now
[17:57] <mint> I just followed this tutorial> https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/19141/clone-a-hard-drive-using-an-ubuntu-live-cd/
[17:59] <mint> leftyfb do I need to use clonezilla? the dd command worked and now I have same ntfs partitions on the new hdd
[17:59] <EriC^^> mint: it'll only use 500gb of the 2tb though
[17:59] <leftyfb> mint: NTFS? I thought we were talking about booting an Ubuntu install
[18:00] <mint> leftyfb the partition I copied to the new hdd is the windows one but my sytem is a dual boot with kubuntu which still stands on the other 500 Gb hdd
[18:01] <ash_worksi> exit
[18:01] <leftyfb> mint: ok, in order to get Ubuntu to boot, you'll need to do what I said above. grub install and update grub
[18:01] <EriC^^> mint: are you using uefi?
[18:02] <mint> yes
[18:02] <EriC^^> you'll need to create an efi partition for ubuntu
[18:02] <mint> http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/FWwWvqvfGf/
[18:02] <mint> that is what boot repair said
[18:02] <mint> I am on a live usb mint
[18:02] <mint> now
[18:03] <mint> and just unplugged the old windows hdd
[18:03] <leftyfb> mint: I didn't suggest running "boot repair"
[18:03] <leftyfb> mint: and don't use a mint live cd, use ubuntu
[18:04] <mint> that was before entering the chat
[18:04] <mint> I have no ubuntu live
[18:05] <EriC^^> mint: type "sudo mount /dev/sda4 /mnt"
[18:05] <leftyfb> mint: so you have kubuntu installed, but no live cd/usb but you do have a mint cd/usb but that's not installed?
[18:05] <EriC^^> nevermind mint
[18:05] <mint> yes
[18:05] <EriC^^> mint: there's no sign of ubuntu on those hdd's
[18:05] <mint> kubuntu
[18:05] <mint> sorry
[18:06] <EriC^^> same
[18:06] <EriC^^> are you sure you removed the right hdd?
[18:06] <mint> EriC^^: done
[18:07] <EriC^^> there's no ubuntu anywhere on sda or sdb
[18:07] <mint> well I followed the cables...
[18:07] <xirg> Hello, I'm trying to use openvpn on ubuntu from work to vpn to my netgear r6400 router at home
[18:07] <EriC^^> mint: you must have the hdd's switched, that's my guess
[18:07] <mint> EriC^^: ok I ll try again then it must be the other
[18:08] <mint> see you later
[18:08] <xirg> when i use openvpn through terminal, it says connection is successful, but I cannot access ips on my home network, when I try to use ubuntu's network manager gui it says, "activation of connection failed"
[18:09] <xirg> I should note: the ubuntu machine is a VM using NAT
[18:13] <tomreyn> xirg: you're overall setup / architecture is not obvious from this explanation. discuss where the openvpn client is in relation to other systems, networks and the internet, where the vpn server is (with the same details), and where the connecting client and its destination are (again, same details). a sketchup can help.
[18:20] <xirg> I have a ubuntu desktop set up inside VMWare using NAT (sharing same ip).  The host machine is on my work LAN / intranet, behind a firewall & router.
[18:20] <eelstrebor> would there be any advantage to switch from amavisd-new to amavisd-new-postfix?
[18:20] <xirg> The VPN server is my netgear 6400 router which is plugged directly into the modem
[18:20] <xirg> I checked my router's logs, and it seems to think the VPN connection was established successfully
[18:23] <xirg> I don't know if this is the same issue I have: https://askubuntu.com/questions/981015/networkmanager-says-activation-of-network-connection-failed-when-trying-to-con
[18:23] <dreamscape> can anyone help with my touchpad not working issue. it won't work on Ubuntu MATE 16.04/18.04 and Linux MINT.
[18:28] <Renari> Hey guys I'm mounting a directory on /mnt/data and changing the owner to a new user. However when I reboot it seems the owner of that directory is changed to root.
[18:28] <Renari> Is this normal? If so where should I mount a network shared folder to avoid permission errors on reboot.
[18:29] <leftyfb> Renari: you set the user to mount as in the fstab line
[18:29] <Renari> leftyfb thanks I'll look into that
[18:31] <Emery> Stop being a nigger and use a real OS, Windows.
[18:32] <nacc> Emery: whoa. that is totally unacceptable.
[18:33] <blackflow> I'll never understand why you people talk to overly obviously trolls, instead of instakickban on sight.
[18:33] <nacc> blackflow: we aren't ops.
[18:33] <blackflow> nacc: huh I thought you had op.
[18:34] <Emery> blackflow that's because you're a nigger
[18:34] <nacc> blackflow: i have let the ops know
[18:34] <gyre> exit
[18:35] <leftyfb> !op | Emery
[18:35] <Emery> gyre yes run away from the problem. these poor niggers have no idea the oppression Ubuntu is caysing
[18:41] <dreamscape> ok so can no one help with my touchpad not working? Been trying all day and at this stage I'm guessing it's a no go?
[18:41] <xirg> could my problem be that my router is old and uses SHA1, which is less secure, and openvpn network manager doesn't approve of SHA1?
[18:48] <xirg> OOh I got it to work
[18:48] <xirg> sudo openvpn --config /home/user/vpn/client2.conf --ifconfig 192.168.1.5 255.255.255.0 --route 192.168.1.1
[18:49] <xirg> I had to add the --ifconfig portion to get it to work, i'm not sure why though
[18:49] <Matador> Hi everyone
[18:49] <xirg> HI
[18:50] <andres_> hey
[18:50] <Matador> I've been hit by a bug :|
[18:50] <oerheks> dreamscape, give more details, i suppose, what touchpad, on what machine, what linux version?
[18:50] <Matador> apparently its fixed in the "proposed" stream
[18:50] <Matador> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/1768230
[18:51] <Matador> How could I update initramfs to a system that wont boot ?
[18:51] <dreamscape> oerheks, Ubuntu MATE 16.04/18.04 and tested under Linux Mint too neither work. Toshiba Satellite c50-b-189, touchpad is a SynPS/2 Synaptics Touchpad (Synclient is installed)
[18:52] <oerheks> Matador, how about post #9? and is this on bare metal or vbox?
[18:52] <oerheks> dreamscape, oh, you were here earlier.
[18:52] <oerheks> no clue there, file a bugreport?
[18:52] <Matador> I can see about a noresume, not sure that will fix it
[18:52] <dreamscape> yes
[18:54] <Matador> oerheks : but its just a laptop
[18:55] <Matador> ya, noresume doesnt fix anything
[18:55] <Matador> crazy thing is, it was a fresh 18.04 LTS install
[18:57] <oerheks> Matador, any Nvidia GPU ? looking at this bug report https://askubuntu.com/questions/969917/failed-to-connect-to-lvmetad-stuck-on-boot/1003374
[18:57] <seven-eleven> hi
[18:57] <Matador> no nvidia gpu
[18:57] <seven-eleven> i noticed my server provider's ubuntu repository is very slow in fetching update packages
[18:57] <Matador> its laptop w/ Intel GPU
[18:58] <seven-eleven> can i remove the server's ubuntu repository in /etc/apt/sources.list and leave the last four lines? http://termbin.com/seqb
[18:59] <Matador> seven-eleven : very slow I've had issues related to IPv6.  Where router gives you a v6, but doesnt actually work.  So slowness relates to waiting for v6 to timeout, and kick you to IPv4
[18:59] <Matador> if thats not the case, ignore me :)
[19:00] <seven-eleven> Matador, spot on, i disabled IPV6 actually
[19:01] <Matador> ya I wouldnt start removing repo's just yet :)  Try to find source of issue
[19:01] <seven-eleven> do i just need deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security main restricted universe and multiverse?
[19:05] <charlotte_> hi
[19:06] <charlotte_> anybody here ?
[19:06] <nacc> !ask | charlotte_
[19:07] <charlotte_> hello people ,, i have a problem ,, i cant get ubuntu to recognize my broadcom wlan
[19:07] <nacc> seven-eleven: you would only get the updates to packages in security then, and not any packages that do not have seucurity updates
[19:08] <seven-eleven> nacc, gotcha
[19:08] <seven-eleven> now i used an source.list generator and got all repos i need
[19:08] <seven-eleven> and its much faster
[19:08] <seven-eleven> before it took 10 mins, now it was done in 20 sec
[19:09] <Matador> thats the way
[19:09] <nacc> seven-eleven: note that your provider may have had good reason to configure your image that way; and you may end up being throttled/pay for bandwidth usage, etc.
[19:09] <nacc> seven-eleven: all depends on your provider, so just be aware of that
[19:09] <seven-eleven> http://dpaste.com/0P3ZVJ8
[19:10] <Matador> I'm so phuked :(
[19:10] <nacc> Matador: please watch the language, even implicitly
[19:10] <Matador> sure, sorry mate
[19:10] <seven-eleven> nacc, the bandwidth of package retrieval is very low compared to the servers capable bandwidth, so should be good
[19:10] <nacc> seven-eleven: cool, just was a fyi :)
[19:11] <Matador> tried to rebuild my kernel in recovery mode
[19:11] <Matador> now I get PKCS#7 signature not signed with a trusted key
[19:14] <NemesisD> what's a good way to tell if a machine is accepting requests on a specific port from the machine itself? i'm troubleshooting an AWS issue. i can SSH into the VPC and machine but can't access a port on it
[19:14] <nacc> Matador: afaict, it's just a boot delay?
[19:14] <Matador> well I can be more patient and leave it > 30sec I guess
[19:14] <nacc> NemesisD: check netstat -pan if it's listening on the port
[19:15] <Matador> but I cant seem to get booted :|
[19:15] <nacc> Matador: i meant, it's an annoyance right? So boot into the normal system, and fix it there?
[19:15] <Matador> I cant get to normal system
[19:15] <Matador> been hit by initramfs bug
[19:15] <nacc> Matador: then that doesn't seem to be that bug
[19:15] <Matador> ya I guess not
[19:15] <nacc> Matador: that bug just results in a 30s boot delay
[19:15] <nacc> not a failure to boot
[19:16] <Matador> ok thanks
[19:16] <NemesisD> nacc: i see 127.0.0.1:9200  and ::1:9200, but i don't know if that means its just listening to localhost requests on 9200 or if it would accept requests from the wider network. i can connect to 9200 locally on the machine
[19:16] <Matador> basically seems like I have to re-install :|
[19:17] <jhutchins_wk> NemesisD: You can also use telnet to connect to a specific port:  telnet <dest> <port>
[19:17] <nacc> NemesisD: that means it's listening on localhost port 9200 and (iirc) ipv6 "any" port 9200
[19:17] <nacc> jhutchins_wk: good point
[19:17] <nacc> Matador: you haven't described your problem yet
[19:17] <NemesisD> nacc: but does that mean another machine should be able to connect to port 9200?
[19:18] <Matador> sorry nacc, I posted earlier -- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/1768230
[19:18] <nacc> Matador: and as I just said, that is *not* your issue
[19:18] <nacc> Matador: that bug does not fail to boot
 tried to rebuild my kernel  .. huh ?
[19:18] <nacc> Matador: it just adds a 30s delay
[19:18] <Matador> ok I'll leave it for 90s and see
[19:18] <nacc> NemesisD: over ipv6, yes, but not over ipv4
[19:18] <NemesisD> nacc: ok that seems like a problem
[19:19] <nacc> Matador: if you already tried to do some manual initramfs recovery and broke secure boot, you might have other issues
[19:19] <nacc> NemesisD: well, i don' tknow if it's a problem or not :)
[19:19] <nacc> NemesisD: as i don't know what listening and how it's configured
[19:19] <Matador> I have secure boot off in bios
[19:20] <nacc> Matador: was just referring to your earlier comments about signing keys
[19:20] <Matador> no prob.
[19:20] <Matador> the key message is gone right now
[19:20] <NemesisD> nacc: i'm setting up an elasticsearch cluster. the load balancer is most likely trying to connect over ipv4 to the machine. i'm not intentionally restricting binding to only localhost
[19:20] <Matador> been 1min 30s still flashing screen on the error
[19:20] <Matador> this ubuntu-vg stuff
[19:21] <nacc> Matador: what error exactly?
[19:21] <nacc> NemesisD: ah
[19:22] <Matador> let me image share
[19:23] <Matador> https://ibb.co/fbrAN8
[19:24] <Matador> just flashes on that screen forever
[19:24] <NemesisD> i think i'm lacking the jargon to google this issue. i know when you bind a port you can specify a host. i don't know what host you'd specify to allow external ipv4 connections
[19:24] <Matador> recovery mode works, all my data/file systems there
[19:25] <nacc> NemesisD: you can either specify the ipv4 address or 0.0.0.0 to mean "any" (iirc)
[19:25] <nacc> NemesisD: but it dependson the tool on how you configure it usually
[19:26] <nacc> Matador: right, so the bug you referred to is the first 7 messages or so, but you can see it finds your LVM fine and then is past it at lines 8 and 9
[19:26] <nacc> Matador: so it's something else, i dont know what
[19:26] <nacc> Matador: when did this start?
[19:28] <charlotte_> Hello people ,, can  anyone pls help me out here.. i cant get  my wlan [broadcom] to work

[19:40] <netsrot> crmlt: ok. thank you.
[19:40] <crmlt> netsrot: https://xanmod.org/ has little better benchmarks
[19:41] <temno> I followed the instruction on UBUNTU official site but the disc doesn't work
[19:41] <b7r> charelotte_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx?action=show&redirect=BroadcomSTA%28Wireless%29 more details
[19:41] <crmlt> temno: How did you burned it?
[19:43] <crmlt> temno: Can you use flash drive?
[19:44] <temno> I burned it in the right way following the instruction but I have a doubt about the old PC where I want to install
[19:44] <temno> and about the version
[19:46] <crmlt> temno: If there is bios you need to go into BIOS and set the PC boot order to try boot from the CD drive first...
[19:47] <crmlt> or try acces the boot menu by holding on of these keys during start > f2, f10, f11, f12
[19:47] <crmlt> holding one*
[19:50] <Trel> What's the official pronunciation for Ubuntu?  Ooboontoo, oobuntoo, or something else entirely?
[19:51] <leftyfb> Trel: try #ubuntu-offtopic or wikipedia

[20:20] <ash_worksi> how do I add jpn ime to 18.04?
[20:21] <ash_worksi> I added "japanese" (ja) in settings but when I switch to it, it just types normally
[20:22] <UKUser> Hello. Could I ask for help please.  I am trying to learn Ubuntu but getting stuck at what are likely basics.  Trying to get a full install on USB (not a live / ISO image).  I followed a guide that wouldn't work on my laptop, and turns out because it didn't take account of UEFI.  Found another guide which seems right, but I've got to a certain point and got stuck - basically made the USB have partitions for EFI Boot, and Root, but i
[20:22] <UKUser> it doesn't give an option to set the EFI boot partition for EFI purposes, and I'm not sure what I should do
[20:22] <qwebirc19878> Hi
[20:23] <Bashing-om> !uefi | UKUser
[20:23] <qwebirc19878> I'm trying to install ubuntu 18, but when i select the disk to install on, the installation repeats
[20:23] <UKUser> Thank you
[20:24] <Bashing-om> UKUser: :) still with questions .. feel free to ask ... we are here to help :)
[20:25] <ash_worksi> any idea on the IME thing?
[20:28] <qwebirc19878> So, I tried to do do-release-upgrade on my 17.10 server, now im looking at this: https://imgur.com/a/JbgAxyu - don't even know where to start. Trying to fresh install ubuntu 18 but thats no luck either so far. Keeps looping after step 6 where I select the disk. Is my disk corrupted?
[20:31] <blackflow> PeaceDealer: not necessarily. How did you install that? What disk layout options?
[20:32] <PeaceDealer> Im installing from a USB, downloaded from the torrent
[20:33] <PeaceDealer> No matter if i select "manual" or "use entire disk" it will loop installation back
[20:33] <UKUser> Bashing-om: Just worked it out.  was using vm instead of live usb or dvd, and didn't have efi mode enabled, so it wasn't coming as an option
[20:33] <UKUser> Thanks for help
[20:33] <sruli> oerheks: hi, with regards to the problem i had with connectivity yesterday, turned out to be a issue with the router.. every time i logged in through ssh tunnel to that pc something happened in the nat tables and all outbound connections did not work until i gave the machine a new ip.. reconfigured some stuff in the nat table hopefully its sorted, thanks for your help
[20:34] <Bashing-om> UKUser: :) Welcome to ubuntu .
[20:34] <Bashing-om> !manual | UKUser
[20:36] <b7r> anyone on here tried ubuntu mate?
[20:38] <leftyfb> b7r: that's not a support question
[20:38] <blackflow> PeaceDealer: but the disk is regular hdd/ssd? Dunno what the cause could be, that kernel error message suggests it can't autodetect filesystem type
[20:38] <b7r> _takes question back_
[20:40] <PeaceDealer> The disk is a regular HDD, pretty old
[20:41] <PeaceDealer> I was updating from ubuntu 17.10 to 18.04 and something happend. Got back to a regular shell, where it said the current version was 18.04, but still showed the part about being able to update. Tried to reboot, thats what it writes
[20:44] <Bashing-om> PeaceDealer: Looks to be LVM/encryption related ... out of my experience range .
[20:45] <PeaceDealer> Ouch :( - I guess ill just try figure out why I cannot install 18.04 then
[20:45] <PeaceDealer> Thank you anyway
[20:45] <sonicwind> hey guys... my other Ubuntu system for some reason went to sleep and won't wake up. I'm not aware that sleep mode was even turned on. Any way to wake it up? Googled, 99% of the suggestions are about how to prevent it again.
[20:45] <sonicwind> tried the power button
[20:47] <Bashing-om> PeaceDealer: From the installer, pastebin ' sudo parted -l ' . We look at what is .
[20:48] <PeaceDealer> I'm just gonna try write the USB again, found a post suggesting it could be bad
[20:48] <PeaceDealer> How do i get to the part where i can write that?
[20:49] <Bashing-om> PeaceDealer: there is an option in the boot menu " check disk for defects" .
[20:49] <PeaceDealer> I did try that, came bac clean
[20:49] <PeaceDealer> but I had to boot it using some legacy mode to even get to the boot menu
[20:51] <Bashing-om> PeaceDealer: Long term best practice is to install in EFI mode .
[20:53] <PeaceDealer> EFI, would that be UEFI?
[20:53] <Bashing-om> PeaceDealer: Yes ..
[20:53] <Bashing-om> !uefi | PeaceDealer
[20:55] <PeaceDealer> When i select EFI boot, it often skips the part where I can select stuff
[20:57] <PeaceDealer> I see in the listings, when its trying to load, something about subiquity with yellow [DEPEND]
[20:57] <PeaceDealer> and some red [TIMED] with the disks i think
[20:59] <Bashing-om> PeaceDealer: What .iso did you burn ?
[21:00] <PeaceDealer> ubuntu-18.04-live-server-amd64
[21:01] <Bashing-om> PeaceDealer: On purpose ? As there is not GUI or desktop for a server install .
[21:03] <PeaceDealer> Yes, I'm going for the server install
[21:04] <PeaceDealer> https://imgur.com/a/lG71YvF < some pictures of the loading
[21:06] <Bashing-om> PeaceDealer: K - Well I have always wiped the drive to install to ,, and then set up my partitioning before hand .. then point in the installer what to install where ( partition wise) .
[21:06] <PeaceDealer> Any tool you could recommend for the wiping?
[21:08] <Bashing-om> PeaceDealer: My tool of choice is GParted -mnot available by default in the server install . In the server is command line; See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingANewHardDrive .
[21:09] <Bashing-om> PeaceDealer: Any data on the disk (WDC) now that you want to keep ?
[21:10] <PeaceDealer> Not really, grabbed a backup of my databases and all other important stuff is backed up elsewhere too
[21:10] <PeaceDealer> before i attempted the upgrade
[21:10] <PeaceDealer> I was that prepared xD
[21:11] <Bashing-om> PeaceDealer: And with EFI .. the tool you want is gdisk rather then fdisk to set up the partitioning .
[21:12] <PeaceDealer> So, since I'm standing without a functional system right now, how would i get gdisk on?
[21:12] <Bashing-om> PeaceDealer: gdisk I expect to be in the installer .
[21:14] <PeaceDealer> Sorry, never really tried this before... When i get the boot screen, i only have 3 options: Install, Install OEM and Check Disk?
[21:15] <PeaceDealer> oh, wait, press c
[21:15] <PeaceDealer> I see
[21:16] <Bashing-om> PeaceDealer: 'c' will give you a command line .. maybe not what you want to do at this point ?
[21:16] <raedah> how do I get dep for golang on xenial?
[21:16] <PeaceDealer> No, yeah, just realising that
[21:16] <PeaceDealer> Then how do i get to the part where I run gdisk?
[21:17] <dell> hello
[21:17] <dell> I can't get HDMI sound to be detected
[21:17] <Guest92850> I'm running the xubuntu-desktop packages on xubuntu
[21:17] <Guest92850> How should I proceed?
[21:17] <Bashing-om> PeaceDealer: I have not seen the 18.04 server .. so take with a grain of salt as the default TTYs may have changed .. but what results with the F4 key ?
[21:20] <PeaceDealer> I keep failing to get to the options screen -.-
[21:23] <PeaceDealer> https://imgur.com/a/XdBY8fj - f4 dosent open anything no. Neither after I've gotten to the install screen or anything
[21:28] <PeaceDealer> Bashing-om: Im getting a live bootable version of gparted seperate, gonna try run it from there
[21:28] <Bashing-om> !server | PeaceDealer
[21:33] <PeaceDealer> Oh, so the server file didn't even have the options?
[21:34] <PeaceDealer> Anyway, Ive formatted it all, deleted all previous partitions. If i run the installtion without making any allocations, it should do it by default, if i remember right?
[21:37] <jeffree> ubuntu 18.04, ctrl-alt-print is supposed to copy screenshot to clipboard but does not seem to work
[21:38] <nacc> jeffree: ctrl+alt+prscr takes a screenshot of the current window; prscr on its own takes a screenshot of the entire display
[21:39] <jeffree> yes
[21:39] <nacc> both simply save it to Pictures
[21:39] <leftyfb> jeffree: https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/shell-keyboard-shortcuts.html.en
[21:40] <leftyfb> jeffree: I don't see your hotkey mentioned
[21:40] <leftyfb> jeffree: where did you see it's supposed to do what you're saying?
[21:40] <jeffree> in my settings it says "Copy a screenshot of a window to clipboard Ctrl+Alt+Print"
[21:41] <leftyfb> jeffree: what settings? Got a screenshot?
[21:41] <jeffree> give me a minute
[21:42] <nacc> jeffree: yeah, i see what you mean
[21:42] <nacc> settings -> keyboard -> screenshots
[21:43] <nacc> jeffree: might be a bug
[21:43] <nacc> never needed a screenshot in my clipboard, so not sure
[21:44] <jeffree> leftyfb: https://imgur.com/a/8LOs3YN
[21:45] <PeaceDealer> Bashing-om: I'm trying to burn a 17.10 USB now, just to try, and it's taking significantly longer than when burning the 18.04 USB - just wanna make sure im not going crazy, but can that be right?
[21:45] <jeffree> I guess I'll add it to my list of bugs
[21:48] <nacc> leftyfb: also mentioned here: https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/screen-shot-record.html
[21:48] <Bashing-om> PeaceDealer: Perhaps . I can accept that the 17.10 desktop has a lot more to do than that of a server burn .
[21:48] <tomreyn> PeaceDealerdepends on cd/dvd writer speed and usb storage speed, and on how they are connected, and on the OS and general hardware specs where you run this - none of which you have discussed.
[21:51] <nacc> also, "burn a USB"? Did you simply mean dd ?
[21:51] <nacc> PeaceDealer: --^
[21:51] <PeaceDealer> Well, i'm using the same system, and the same usb, the 18.04 took only about a minute for me to burn, but the 17.10 took a couple
[21:51] <PeaceDealer> Well, i'm using the same system, and the same usb, the 18.04 took only about a minute for me to burn, but the 17.10 took a couple minutes
[21:52] <nacc> server and desktop are fairly different sizes of iso file, iirc
[21:52] <charlotte_> hello people,, atlast  i got  my broadcom working :D a bit of hardware hacking ,, and the  job is done ,, thx for the guide on the software part :D
[21:53] <charlotte_> i  like dd
[21:53] <charlotte_> easyest burner ever :P
[21:55] <PeaceDealer> Im more for rufus
[21:55] <PeaceDealer> :P
[21:58] <jeffree> I just accidentally used a keyboard shortcut in nautilus to view a text file, anyone know what the shortcut is?
[21:58] <jeffree> I don't see it anywhere
[21:59] <jeffree> it didn't open it in gedit either, it was like a native text file viewer
[22:01] <charlotte_> https://askubuntu.com/questions/615178/getting-the-default-text-editor-used-in-system
[22:02] <jeffree> not sure if that is directed at me but doesn't answer
[22:03] <PeaceDealer> Bashing-om: Think im getting 17.10 to work, ill have to try see if i can do-release-upgrade when im back. Thanks for your time and help!
[22:04] <oerheks> jeffree, Nautilus > menu > keyboard shortcuts
[22:04] <oerheks> we do not guess what 'accidental' key that will be
[22:05] <jeffree> oerheks: I looked at that before I asked
[22:05] <jeffree> I don't see anything
[22:06] <charlotte_> everybody doing allright ?? :D
[22:06] <jeffree> as I said, it was like it opened the text file with a viewer built into nautilus
[22:07] <nacc> jeffree: did you just 'enter' on it?
[22:07] <oerheks> that would be the default editor
[22:07] <jeffree> nacc: no, that opens it in gedit
[22:08] <jeffree> it did NOT open it in gedit
[22:08] <charlotte_> lol
[22:08] <charlotte_> u guys ok ???
[22:08] <charlotte_> :P
[22:08] <nacc> charlotte_: please stop.
[22:08] <nacc> jeffree: it's really hard to know what happened without any further information, unfortunately
[22:10] <charlotte_> stop what ????
[22:10] <jeffree> nacc: I am basically certain it was part of nautilus as I alt-tabbed a few times while it was open and the viewer was grouped with nautilus
[22:10] <nacc> charlotte_: chit-chat in the channle and repeatedly asking if "u guys ok"
[22:10] <nacc> jeffree: hrm, very odd; I've never seen that, sorry
[22:10] <jeffree> ok
[22:11] <charlotte_> ok iam very sorry ,,, mr... NacC
[22:12] <Zedax> hello, do you know any known issues with pppoe that decrease the speed a lot? so i'm trying to connect to my isp fiber on ppp, instead using their router, i'm using rp-pppoe, using the kernel ppp modules (in theory), however is laggy and slow, i'm getting only 90Mbps, i should be getting about 650, cpu usage is low
[22:18] <oerheks> in theory, one would use pppoeconf, i never knew that package rp-pppoe existed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE
[22:21] <jeffree> ok, answered in #gnome. it's simply space
[22:21] <jeffree> as in spacebar
[22:21] <oerheks> and their package is quite old .. https://www.roaringpenguin.com/products/pppoe 2015
[22:22] <nacc> jeffree: does nothing here, default 18.04 install
[22:23] <jeffree> nacc: is a file selected? works for pictures and text here
[22:23] <tomreyn> hmm pppoe on fiber? that sounds inefficient
[22:24] <nacc> jeffree: yes; shift + spacebar is equivalent to return, but on its own does nothing
[22:25] <tomreyn> oh Zedax, left
[22:34] <jeffree> nacc: proof https://imgur.com/a/8jh4m4N
[22:35] <nacc> jeffree: is that an upgrade to 18.04 or a fresh install?
[22:36] <nacc> jeffree: it's only in my upgraded system that it behaves like that
[22:36] <nacc> which feels ... ungoogd
[22:36] <nacc> *ungood
[22:36] <nacc> i can see the nautilus is different in my two systems (its appearance)
[22:37] <oerheks> that could well just be a theme thingy
[22:38] <jeffree> nacc: do you have gnome-sushi installed? seems that is needed
[22:38] <oerheks> but space/shift space would use standard app
[22:38] <jeffree> mine is upgraded
[22:38] <oerheks> ah see, now you come true..
[22:38] <oerheks> LoL
[22:39] <jeffree> I just found out
[22:39] <nacc> jeffree: right not installed by default in 18.04, probably was in 16.04 and not removed
[22:39] <nacc> jeffree: so ... nothing to see here?
[22:39] <illuminated> how do I get a list of packages a particular package will install?
[22:39] <nacc> illuminated: use apt-get -s
[22:40] <oerheks> https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/08/ubuntu-17-10-gnome-sushi-by-default
[22:40] <nacc> illuminated: (to simulate the installation)
[22:40] <nacc> oerheks: good link :)
[22:40] <oerheks> (Update: Decides Not To)
[22:40] <jeffree> if you open the help app and search for 'file preview' it explains
[22:40] <oerheks> yes, helpfull extention, sad it didn't make it to the default gnome
[22:41] <jeffree> nacc: nothing to see here? don't know what you mean, I was just basically answering my question for anyone who wanted know
[22:41] <nacc> jeffree: as in, not a bug, not really anything
[22:41] <jeffree> no bug
[22:41] <jeffree> the screenshot thing earlier probably is though
[22:56] <Mibix> can someone please help me ran in to a bit of a problem, screen kept flickering when i was booting for way too long so i had to hard restart now its giving me this https://imgur.com/a/a6WBZHI

[23:40] <hxmuller> Hi, I'm reviewing the kernel config file used in the amd64 desktop iso. It's automatically generated according to the comments. How is it generated?
[23:44] <oerheks> from git i guess https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild
[23:45] <oerheks> http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/config/
[23:52] <toaderas> Are there any plans for supporting new message highlight of app icon in the dock in Gnome like we had in Unity ? :(
[23:54] <oerheks> isn't that already there, systemsettings - notifications
[23:54] <oerheks> per application control
[23:55] <toaderas> It does not work, I have it turned on for all and it does nothing :(
[23:57] <hxmuller> oerheks: thanks. it must be an Ubuntu Kernel dev secret. does ubuntu have a kernel handbook like debian?
