[00:00] :) [00:00] i think so, maybe someone from the #ubuntu-kernel team could better answer that [00:01] oh, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/FAQ#Kernel.2FFAQ.2FGeneralFindingDocumentation.Where_do_I_find_the_Kernel_Team.27s_documentation.3F [00:06] oerheks: I think I've discovered my answer. Apparently if you enable CONFIG_IKCONFIG_PROC when compiling the kernel, it stores the config in /proc/config.gz, which when read, gives the same comment about "Automatically generated file" [00:07] Hi. I'm using Ubuntu MATE. In the top right corner at the left of my left-most icon on the panel I have a little green | just like that [00:07] just a line like that that is green that doesn't seem to be for anything. [00:07] It's there sometimes, not always. [00:08] Is this some kind of spyware? [00:08] Doesn't seem legitimate to me. All my other icons are white. [00:08] This vertical line is green. [00:12] oerheks: scratch that, the kbuild system adds that comment. i just never noticed it before [00:17] hi...I need help about UBUNTU installation [00:18] I tried all the instruction listed on the official website [00:18] for DVD and USB device but ....no way [00:19] halo all [00:19] I'm using a MacBookPro and I'd like to improve an old Acer extensa usin Windows XP [00:19] with UBINU system [00:19] Hello xch4d03t. [00:21] do you think l2tp or pptp vpns have more universal support --- from android/ios/windows/mac.... [00:22] sorry which one is more universally supported on all the devices... pptp or l2tp [00:23] hi there...... [00:24] compiled pidgin 2.13.0 and would like to test video, but need someone to do it with - a volunteer needed (if shy just draw a happy face on paper in front of camera), thanks :) [00:24] temno: so you'd like to install ubuntu to the mac, or to the acer extensa, or both? [00:25] I'm downloading files from a Mac but I'd like to improve the ACER [00:26] hello [00:26] I cannot get Xbuntu working with HDMI === dell is now known as Guest10016 [00:26] I mean [00:26] Ubuntu with Xubuntu-desktop [00:26] Image works fine [00:26] But sound does not [00:26] I followed all the instructions from the official website for DVD ur USB device and I downloaded aps to do it but....no way [00:27] How to setup sound with xubuntu-desktop? [00:28] github [00:28] I plug the USB or I insert the DVD with file ISO even if I chnged the priority on the BIOS but Windows XP starts again [00:30] ... [00:31] ... [00:31] how to earm money in internet use ubuntu [00:33] temno: The downlded .iso fike has yo be burned as an "image [00:34] " " to the install medium . [00:34] I did it [00:34] Can someone please help me with Xubuntu-desktop HDMI? [00:34] I really followed all the instructions on the official website [00:35] temno: then as bios does not "see" it .. does not have good boot code . either the .iso is corrupted or the burn is bad . [00:35] !md5sum | temno [00:35] temno: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM [00:35] Ok...but I used even the USB [00:36] When I tried to do a CHECKSUM ....computer say... NO! :-) [00:36] I tried 6 times [00:37] That's the reason why I'm explaining which machines I'm using [00:38] Guest10016: i think this is only supported with a mainline kernel (if at all). [00:38] !mainline | Guest10016 [00:38] Guest10016: The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds [00:39] temno: so when you created the bootable USB stick, how did you do it exactly, and were any errors reported during the process? [00:39] I feel like in 1997 in this chat !!!! Uffffff [00:39] hi)? [00:39] hi andy10134 [00:40] How are you? n.n [00:40] andy10134: fine, thanks. do you have an ubuntu support question? [00:41] Dear Tomreyn, I followed the instructions...It means that I've tried with TERMINAL.....I downloaded RosaImageWriter and other 3 software to move the ISO immage to USB device [00:41] temno: which instructions did you follow there? [00:42] * tomreyn never heard of "RosaImageWriter" [00:42] and finally I burned a DVD that I could not think I had in my home after 12 yeras! [00:42] :-) [00:43] In the italian version of the official website for UBUNTU [00:43] there are suggestion about using specific softwares to create an USB stick with the file ISO I already downloaded [00:44] If you have suggestion please....tell me...I'll follow It [00:46] hey all [00:47] temno: is thgis the tutorial you followed? https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-create-a-usb-stick-on-macos#0 [00:48] Yes....I tried even with this tutorial [00:48] for Eatcher [00:49] YES YES YES.......I'm going crazy [00:49] I changed 3 USB devices [00:49] I feel stupid! [00:49] temno: so when you tried with etcher, did etcher report that writing it succeeded? [00:49] Yes [00:50] I put the USB stick in the old PC and WINDOWS XP starts again [00:51] That's the reason why I can't find any explanation [00:51] temno: once you had the stick created on the mac, did you follow this tutorial to install on the acer? https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-install-ubuntu-desktop#0 [00:53] temno: acer computers can have bios / uefi restrictions to only allow booting windows systems. also, there a generally bios / uefi settings which can prevent booting from usb, or from anything other than the primary storage (HDD). did you check your BIOS / UEFI thoroughly to make sure no such issues are getting in the way? [00:54] Dear Tomreyn....I appreciate your efforts but this tutorial seems to be useful if the file ISO already starts...... [00:54] temno: also, can you tell the exact model of the acer computer? [00:55] temno: not only, it also discusses system requirements. [00:55] ASPIRE 57352 [00:55] Old...but not so bad! :-) [00:55] also step #4 of the tutorial discusses how to boot off usb [00:56] ok..... I will try again.....Thank you very much for your time [00:57] Thanks Tomreyn! [00:57] temno: i'm currently searching the web to see whether there are specific hints on how to install linux on this system. [00:57] ok [00:57] feel free to wait another 5 minutes or just try it again. [00:58] hello [00:58] temno: are you sure the model number is exactly "57352", since i can't find much with exactly this [00:59] there are some variants which start with "5735", though [00:59] temno: maybe Vendor lockin ??

[01:09] an some bios versions, usb boot needs to set in 2 places, boot priority and hdd priority [01:10] temno: if this old system currently uses an older bios, it may be a good idea to install the latest bios version available to ensure compatibility. [01:11] bios updates dont always make things better, but most of the time they do [01:11] Ok....thank you very much...I really appreciate...I love you Tomreyn......! :-) [01:11] Ah HA HA AH [01:11] dont you love oerheks then?

[06:38] when you click on it, it infinitely goes back to the same place. [06:38] It gives errors when I try to zip the whole directory. [06:41] symlinks, you mean? pointing to the current directory? [06:41] ducasse: yes. pointing to its path. [06:47] any idea? [06:47] Hello, Do you know how can I remove all the self pointing shortcuts in a directory? [06:50] If during install, I did not seperate out my partitions. Am I still able to find out how much space my /boot WOULD have been? [06:52] eraserpencil: you can see how much space it uses with 'du -sh /boot' [06:53] thanks! if I dont have LVM, can I increase /boot ? [06:55] eraserpencil: sure it's just more involved [06:55] you can expand a partition if there is space, but it can be a little messy. i'm not sure /boot can be a logical volume either. [06:55] hey EriC^^ [06:55] ideally you'd make it large enough to not have to grow it in size later [06:55] hey lotuspsychje [06:56] would you recommend that? or should I manually delete the files in /boot. As in delete vmlinux-xxx, initrd-xxx etc etc, starting with deleting the ones with the smallest number [06:56] eraserpencil: use the package manager to delete them [06:57] eraserpencil: anu specific reason you wanna enlargen /boot? [06:57] sudo apt-get purge linux-image-........-generic and headers packages [06:57] im in a loop where I cant purge because I dont have the linux-headers-generic, cant apt-get -f install because my boot is full [06:58] eraserpencil: erase the initrd to free some space then purge [06:58] so i start with deleting the smallest numbers yea? [06:59] yeah, run "uname -r" and delete what you're not running [06:59] eraserpencil, yea I had the same thing, I deleted manually older kernels [06:59] smallest first [06:59] thanks!

[07:03] Wasnt sure if I should keep or to expand [07:03] i mean delete or expand [07:03] eraserpencil: to keep your system healthy, cleanup is needed time to time [07:04] you can run "sudo apt-get autoremove --purge" every now and then to keep space there good [07:05] Hello, Do you know how can I remove all the self pointing shortcuts in a directory? [07:05] mojtaba: self pointing like what? [07:06] eraserpencil, great! [07:07] yea, unintentionally nuke my system and do fresh installs everytime. Either by careless dd or careless gdisk writing or careless rm [07:08] EriC^^: self pointing symlinks. [07:08] mojtaba: you mean there's a bunch of softlinks in the dir pointing to it? [07:09] mojtaba: you mean they are softlinks? [07:10] EriC^^: I mean there are lots of softlinks pointing to themselves, and when I try to backup the directory. It just hangs. [07:11] mojtaba: can you give an example of one of their "ls -l" output? [07:12] path/users --> patth/users [07:12] mojtaba: screenshot or hastebin, to make it clear please [07:14] mojtaba: what happens if you do "readlink -f /path/to/softlink" ? === robot_ is now known as Guest39414 [07:15] mojtaba: try this cd /path/to/dir then find . -maxdepth 1 -type l | while IFS='' read -r bla; do if [[ "$(readlink -f "$bla")" == "$PWD" ]]; then echo rm "$bla"; fi; done ; [07:15] EriC^^: In nautilus, when I click on it, it just adds the name to the path and shows the directory I was in it.

[07:20] lots of bits, but /bin seems to be strangely missing. [07:21] I've got /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin (archaic, I know) and several other paths too... [07:21] Viking667: what's in /etc/environment?

I'm getting "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libgoocanvas3 (>= 0.15)" in Lubuntu 18.04 (LTS) when trying to install a package. I've tried following every instruction that I've found on Google - including installing a bunch of software and packages - to no avail. I've checked apt update and apt upgrade, and the only issue there is with Sublime Text 3. Everything else checks out. [07:33] Any help? [07:34] quxgyver: which package are you trying to install? [07:35] (was gonna ask the same question) [07:35] Inform7 [07:35] http://inform7.com/download/ [07:35] Both .debs have the same problem. [07:35] ok, then try asking where you got that package [07:36] Wow, it's an oldie. [07:36] ducasse: What do you mean? [07:37] quxgyver: this software seems to be abandoned since 2015. [07:37] Maybe you can find something else that does the same thing. [07:38] quxgyver: we dont support external software/ppa's officially, we reccomend using packages from the ubuntu repos [07:38] assiduus: I don't think there are any other builds. :/ [07:38] quxgyver: meaning, installing external software often result in scrambled system hence why we cant support [07:38] quxgyver: if you want to use that, you need to ask for an updated version that works on modern ubuntu [07:39] lotuspsychje: I'm more interested in what the message means, in plain english. [07:39] That way I can maybe troubleshoot it myself. [07:39] ducasse: I don't think there is any, unfortunately. [07:40] quxgyver: in plain english, your software is trying to install packages that doesnt match current ubuntu [07:40] You could try to look for libgoocanvas in the version apt-get wants. [07:40] quxgyver, it says you need libgoocanvas3 - a search for it reveals (https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libgoocanvas3) ver =0.15 is available for trusty, =1.0 for xenial & artful but none yet for bionic (18.04) [07:40] lotuspsychje: In what way? Is it asking for an older version of an existing package, or for a nonexistent package to be installed? [07:41] quxgyver, the link I provided also tells you it's in 'universe' ; or community supported; meaning no-one from the community has packaged/tested the lib for bionic(18.04) [07:42] You could virtualize Trusty and use the package that's avaiable in Ubuntu packages. [07:42] quxgyver, note: i'm talking about your posted error (not sublime text 3 the others looked at... to aid your troubleshooting in future request) [07:43] !rootirc | sdfgsd [07:43] sdfgsd: It's not technically our business, but we'd like to tell you that IRC'ing as root is a Very Bad Idea (tm). After all, doing anything as root when root is not needed is bad, and especially bad with software that connects to the Internet. [07:43] Maybe he's on Windows using root as his username. :P [07:44] guiverc_t: Even if the package hasn't been tested, is there any harm in installing it? I mean, applications wouldn't use it anyway, right? [07:44] Yeah, yeah. I know it's a bot. ;) [07:44] Aside from Inform7 [07:45] You could also build libgoocanvas3 from source. [07:45] Instead of waiting for someone else to do it for bionic. :) [07:45] quxgyver: i would reccomend looking for a package that does the same as inform7, in the official repos [07:46] lotuspsychje: I don't think there is any. [07:46] quxgyver: how are you so sure? what does it do exactly? [07:46] quxgyver, that's I think off-topic here, but you've have to meet its requirements which are viewed by looking at (https://packages.ubuntu.com/artful/libgoocanvas3 for the 17.10 version) and then check they don't compete/clash with other packages etc... ie. homework to ensure you don't end up in dependency-hell.. if you do your homework you're okay; but it's not for newbies & could make your system unstable!) [07:47] lotuspsychje: It's an IDE for writing interactive fiction games. [07:47] okay, I'm back. [07:48] lotuspsychje: I've already tried searching for Inform-related packages, but they seem to only fulfill certain aspects of what the IDE does [07:48] guiverc_t: So you're saying that if you install a package that is incompatible with your system, it actually can be dangerous? [07:49] Cus I thought that installing an unneeded package was fine [07:49] as long as it's not used by any critical software [07:49] in this case it's just a game development IDE that'd be using it, so I assumed that it wouldn't be an issue [07:49] quxgyver: yes, we dont reccomend mixing package version across different ubuntu versions [07:50] So. /bin doesn't appear to be part of my $PATH, even though it's present in /etc/environment. what should I prod to get it to work right? [07:50] quxgyver: you could consider build an ubuntu version, where its still supported? [07:51] lotuspsychje: That's way beyond my skill level. [07:51] I guess this is a lost cause. [07:51] quxgyver, i'd not call it dangerous - it's can be fun to fix messes :) but its not really for newbies.. it may require a re-install because of instability... thus not recommended and the ~off-topic nature of it... if you do your homework (2nd page took you to 9 packages to check...) you're fine... apt will do this check, but you need to know the consequences .... be prepared for need to re-install if you make mistakes (don't do enough [07:51] homework or make mistake etc) [07:51] But, thanks for taking the time to help. I appreciate it. [07:52] quxgyver: as I already said. Use virtualbox to install Trusty and use the official package. [07:52] quxgyver: yeah or physical install ^ [07:53] I can't. Partly because this is a very low spec PC, and partly because I had such an issue getting *buntu installed due to various unintelligible errors that I don't really want to mess with the system again. [07:54] But it's fine. I'll live. [07:54] quxgyver: see also tads3 as inform7 alternate [07:54] Viking667: add /bin to your PATH environment variable (export PATH=$PATH:/bin). [07:55] lotuspsychje: Appreciate the suggestion/effort, but I already have an ongoing IF7 project. [07:55] I just wanted to be able to work on it on my Linux PC. :-) [07:55] assiduus: while that might work, I'm puzzled why it's not there to begin with. [07:55] But it's fine! Appreciate the help. [07:55] Yeah. It is weird. [07:56] Add it (export) to your .bash_profile and that's it. ;) [07:56] Although it should have been in your PATH already. [07:56] you beat me to it. [07:56] :) [07:57] So. Where do I put it so it's in every user's PATH? [07:57] actually, I should ask why it's not in THIS user's path specifically. [07:57] /etc/profile if I'm not mistaken. [07:57] I'll check that again. [07:58] He or she must have messed with the PATH variable directly on indirectly (that software they used did it). [07:58] *the [07:59] hm. /bin isn't mentioned in /etc/profile, or /etc/bash.bashrc for that matter. I'm checking through /etc/profile.d/* at the moment [07:59] now that IS weird. It's not there either. [07:59] PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin" [08:00] this is default PATH on bionic. === LabMonkey is now known as Mechanismus [08:00] quit [08:01] ok. Gone for now... [08:01] Cya. [08:02] weird. It's not in Fedora either [08:02] ... except in /etc/environment, I suspect [08:02] nope, not there. [08:03] hey guys, I'm having an ubuntu-18.04 desktop with VirtualBox installed. I have a 18.04 VM installed using `vagrant init ubuntu/bionic64 && vagrant up` and it boots soooooooo sloooooow.... I think it's the tty console lag or something [08:03] an ubuntu 16.04 vm starts in about 8 seconds [08:03] 18.04 takes 50 seconds [08:04] TvL2386_: so what services are starting in each VM then? [08:05] Viking667: well, the first 23 seconds of booting the 18.04 VM is kernel output, so I concluded it must be console slowness [08:09] hmmm... my old 16.04 vms boot fast, a newly created 16.04 vm has the same lag... I think virtualbox or vagrant has changed some defaults, I'll compare settings [08:14] quxgyver, just had a thought - did you look for a snap packaged version of whatever you were looking for (snaps don't have the 'dep-hell' issues i was talking about) [08:20] TvL2386_: could be presence/absence of suitable fbconsole driver? the fallback vesa one is terribly slow.. does it still boot slow after you install virtualbox guest drivers? [08:24] TvL2386_: 18.04 is slow booting systemd, several bugs on it [08:25] TvL2386_: feel free to subscribe to my bug about it: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1742063 [08:25] Launchpad bug 1742063 in systemd (Ubuntu) "Systemd taking long time to boot into desktop 18.04" [Undecided,Confirmed] [08:42] I'm off for now, folks. [08:53] Hello everyone! [09:01] can someone assist as i am a bit new in linux :) |(but not completely) [09:02] i installed freeradius, and I am wondering how to uninstall it [09:03] i did the dpkg -l | grep -i radius to see the pkgs and then dpkg -P to purge them [09:03] but when i try locate freeradius i get allot of feedback from files and folders [09:03] noob1ieLin: you can use apt for that, it's the proper package manager anyway (dpkg is low level .deb file manager) [09:03] usr/local/share [09:05] yeap did that also [09:05] apt-get remove freeradius [09:05] Reading package lists... Done [09:05] Building dependency tree [09:05] Reading state information... Done [09:05] Package 'freeradius' is not installed, so not removed [09:06] noob1ieLin: if dpkg -l showed it installed then apt must be able to uninstall it [09:07] guiverc_t: What's a snap package? [09:12] @blackflow I am just wondering why the files are still in the system is all [09:12] and should just i delete them [09:14] quxgyver, this may provide some info: https://blog.ubuntu.com/2016/06/14/universal-snap-packages-launch-on-multiple-linux-distros ; "Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.." (you use `snap install` instead of `apt install`) - but the editor you want may not be packaged in it anyway... [09:39] guiverc_t: Ah I see! That's cool [09:40] :) [09:40] It doesn't look like it's available as a snap package, but thanks for explaining. [09:40] At least I learned some things today. :-) === carlos is now known as chigong [09:57] hello all [09:57] how to get php 5.6 on 16.x ? [09:57] ppa ? [09:59] hello all-im new to ubuntu/linux and learning the ropes as i go-want to make a basic quick login script to connect to my vpn service-security not paramount concern hence making a script with login details-how do i incorporate into my script a username and password (what is the syntax for password and username [10:00] chigong, Ubuntu uses NetworkManager and you can automate it very easily. Click on [network icon]→VPN Connections→Add a VPN Connection... [10:09] chigong: I believe there's currently a bug in NetworkManager that prevents automatic connections from working. If you're affected by it, a script like https://janikrabe.com/vpn.sh.txt should do the trick (place it in '/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d' and make it executable (+x)). [10:09] Be sure to change the UUID on the first line, save your password through the GUI (for all users, not just your user) and note that this script doesn't prevent traffic from going out while the connection is being established or when you have conectivity issues.
