| tomreyn | SJr: i thnk it has the Cloud-init" package installed by default, which makes it easier to adding it to 'the cloud' with canonicals cloud stack. you can just uninstall this package, and this file should be gone. i think netplan doesn't come with a (main) a configuration file by default, you are supposed to create it, or start with a template. | 00:01 |
| SJr | excellent | 00:02 |

| RoadRunner | is ubuntu driver manager a part of gnome desktop are these two things sepparate and unrelated? | 00:15 |
| Sir_Andrei | Updated. | 00:16 |
| RoadRunner | specifically, is the driver manager the same on ubuntu and xubuntu? | 00:16 |
| Sir_Andrei | But when I try with grub-install /dev/sda it says "Warning, this GPT partition label contains no BIOS Boot Partition; embedding won't be possible. | 00:16 |
| Sir_Andrei | grub-install: error: will not prceed with blocklists. | 00:17 |
| tomreyn | RoadRunner: it's a command line utility ("ubuntu-drivers", "jockey" in past releases), and there are gtk and qt based GUIs for it | 00:17 |
| tomreyn | Sir_Andrei: you installed grub to a partition? | 00:18 |
| tomreyn | that's no longer supported (never really was well supported) | 00:18 |

| tomreyn | Sir_Andrei: is there more output or just this one line? | 00:22 |
| BlackDalek | tomreyn, I am having an issue where grub menu is not skipping. I have only one OS (16.04) installed, yet it waits indefinitely on grub menu at boot up until I press enter | 00:22 |
| Sir_Andrei | Hmm, i can paste it on pastebin, one moment. | 00:22 |
| tomreyn | ... | 00:23 |
| tomreyn | BlackDalek: edit the timeout option in /etc/default/grub and run update-grub | 00:23 |
| BlackDalek | tomreyn, I tried that. I set GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=2 and ran update-grub but it still pauses at grub menu until I press enter | 00:25 |
| tomreyn | BlackDalek: what is GRUB_TIMEOUT set to? | 00:26 |
| BlackDalek | tomreyn, is there some other setting which is overriding the setting? | 00:26 |
| tomreyn | BlackDalek: also GRUB_DEFAULT | 00:26 |
| BlackDalek | tomreyn, 0. | 00:27 |
| tomreyn | BlackDalek: both are set to 0? | 00:27 |
| BlackDalek | tomreyn, GRUB_DEFAULT is also 0 | 00:27 |
| tomreyn | is GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE defined? | 00:28 |
| BlackDalek | tomreyn, there is no such definition defined | 00:29 |

| oerheks | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/svvNdQH7zD/ | 00:30 |

| oerheks | 10 is standard | 00:31 |
| BlackDalek | tomreyn, yes, that's what it says in the file at /etc/default/grub | 00:32 |

| Sir_Andrei_2 | https://pastebin.com/raw/b5fdwxNp | 00:32 |
| Sir_Andrei | @tomreyn ^ | 00:33 |
| BlackDalek | tomreyn, the only setting which has a numerical non-zero value is GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=2 | 00:33 |
| tomreyn | BlackDalek: hmm, then i'm puzzled, with this configuration it should not show the grub menu by default, giving you 2 seconds to hit escape or shift to display it, by when it would remain waiting for user input | 00:33 |
| BlackDalek | Is there anything else in the system which could override the settings in /etc/default/grub? | 00:34 |
| tomreyn | BlackDalek: that's all ubuntu defaults | 00:34 |
| tomreyn | BlackDalek: it's /etc/default/grub.cfg | 00:34 |
| tomreyn | did you miss .cfg? | 00:34 |
| tomreyn | oh wait, that's wrong. sorry | 00:35 |
| tomreyn | BlackDalek: /etc/default/grub is correct | 00:35 |
| BlackDalek | tomreyn, the filename has no extension :) | 00:35 |
| tomreyn | BlackDalek: i mixed it up with /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 00:35 |
| BlackDalek | yep | 00:36 |
| tomreyn | BlackDalek: i'm not aware of anything e4lse which would modify the behaviour there. you could look through your generated grub.cfg though, and see what was written there | 00:36 |
| oerheks | GRUB_TIMEOUT=10 ... | 00:36 |
| oerheks | that is what mine gives | 00:37 |
| tomreyn | oerheks: so you have the menu diplayed by default? | 00:37 |
| oerheks | no, it goes straight to the default entry | 00:38 |
| oerheks | see the paste | 00:38 |
| oerheks | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/svvNdQH7zD/ | 00:38 |

| tomreyn | mine http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/WzS7bKp2ZM/ | 00:41 |
| BlackDalek | oerheks, ok... I'm modifying my file to reflect yours. | 00:41 |
| tomreyn | i get no menu by default, there is a 2s timeout where i can activate the menu, then it waits for input | 00:42 |
| tomreyn | BlackDalek: maybe you edited /etc/grub.d/00_header ? | 00:42 |
| tomreyn | that's where the imtout is added when grub.cfg is created | 00:43 |
| tomreyn | *timeout | 00:43 |
| Sir_Andrei | It is really necessary to reinstall GRUB? | 00:43 |
| BlackDalek | tomreyn, I see your config has no GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=x line. Anyway, I am rebooting it now to see what oerheks config does | 00:44 |
| Sir_Andrei | I mean, I have regenerated it, and I've done a grub-mkconfig. | 00:44 |
| Sir_Andrei | If my computer starts giving me GRUB shell, I suppouse GRUB is already installed. | 00:44 |
| Sir_Andrei | Let's restart... | 00:45 |
| Sir_Andrei | Dah, GRUB Shell again. | 00:45 |
| tomreyn | Sir_Andrei: it means grub was loaded form *somewhere*, yes | 00:45 |
| tomreyn | you need to install the current version of grub to the device the computer will boot from once per grub version | 00:46 |
| oerheks | ubuntu must be installed in uefi mode, right? else one needs to chroot an install from live iso and reinstall grub | 00:47 |
| Sir_Andrei | @tomreyn, with grub-install? | 00:47 |
| oerheks | * c/ booted in | 00:47 |
| tomreyn | BlackDalek: that's right. i commented out GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 here (i think grub was always pointing out this should not be set when GRUB_TIMEOUT is a non-zero value) and it works fine this way. | 00:47 |
| BlackDalek | well that was weird... during shutdown, I had a blinking underscore cursor in top left of blank screen for about 60 seconds before the machine restarted | 00:47 |
| BlackDalek | ok.. now it's waiting at the grub menu again..... | 00:48 |
| tomreyn | Sir_Andrei: yes grub-install /dev/sdX (or whatever the raw device name is) | 00:48 |

| tomreyn | <tomreyn> BlackDalek: maybe you edited /etc/grub.d/00_header ? | 00:50 |
| BlackDalek | tomreyn, I will now look to see if anything is at /etc/grub.d/00_header.... | 00:51 |
| tomreyn | Sir_Andrei-2: you are BIOS booting | 00:52 |
| Sir_Andrei | That's new for me. | 00:52 |
| tomreyn | Sir_Andrei-2: and the grub which is loaded there cannot spot a bios_grub partition on the same device. | 00:52 |
| Sir_Andrei | Hmm..., maybe cause it doesn't exists. | 00:52 |
| Sir_Andrei | Well..., I'll create one with Gparted, one moment. | 00:53 |

| BlackDalek | tomreyn, the file 00_header appears to be a script. I am not sure what I am looking for. I have never edited this file myself. | 00:54 |

| Sir_Andrei | Well..., at least now I can reinstall GRUB without errores. | 02:18 |
| Sir_Andrei | errors* | 02:18 |
| tomreyn | Sir_Andrei: can you still boot form there? | 02:19 |
| tomreyn | if so, note down what you entered to make it boot | 02:19 |
| Sir_Andrei | Yeah, using commands on GRUB shell. | 02:19 |
| Sir_Andrei | Done. | 02:20 |
| tomreyn | Sir_Andrei: once it's booted, run this: apt update; apt install pastebinit | 02:20 |
| Sir_Andrei | Nice. | 02:21 |
| Sir_Andrei | Done. | 02:21 |
| tomreyn | Sir_Andrei: then: pastebinit /boot/grub/grub.cfg; lsblk | pastebinit | 02:21 |
| tomreyn | mount | pastebinit | 02:22 |
| tomreyn | you should have three urls by now, let us know about them | 02:22 |
| Sir_Andrei | Yeah, one moment. | 02:22 |
| Sir_Andrei | I'll call "my brotha". | 02:23 |
| tomreyn | you can install an openssh server and connect to that so you can copy and paste the urls | 02:24 |
| Sir_Andrei | Oh..., you are such a creative man. | 02:25 |
| tomreyn | yes, i copy and paste very well | 02:26 |
| Sir_Andrei | http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/hjw7tPghx4/ | 02:26 |

| tomreyn | Sir_Andrei: now, the notes you took earlier, when you manually booted into linux from the grub prompt, what are they? | 02:29 |
| Sir_Andrei | One moment. | 02:30 |
| Sir_Andrei_s_bro | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/nVKYq7NcXV/ | 02:33 |
| tomreyn | Sir_Andrei: also show: pastebinit /etc/fstab | 02:33 |

| Sir_Andrei | blkid is an empty document. | 02:34 |
| Sir_Andrei_s_bro | http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/HFDCxXpQ22/ | 02:35 |
| Sir_Andrei_s_bro | 02:35 | |
| tomreyn | Sir_Andrei: "blkid | pastebinit", not "pastebinit blkid" | 02:36 |
| Sir_Andrei | Yeah, I wrote it fine. | 02:37 |
| Sir_Andrei | I know | is a pipe and i tried just "blkid". | 02:37 |
| Sir_Andrei | And..., it doesn't throw anything. | 02:37 |
| tomreyn | apt install util-linux | 02:37 |
| tomreyn | actually, if it returns nothing, anod no error message, then you dont need to | 02:38 |
| Sir_Andrei | It returns nothing. | 02:38 |
| tomreyn | weird. | 02:39 |
| tomreyn | Sir_Andrei: did you post your notes, yet? | 02:39 |
| Sir_Andrei | Yea | 02:39 |
| Sir_Andrei_s_bro | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/nVKYq7NcXV/ | 02:40 |
| tomreyn | hmm i must have missed them | 02:40 |
| tomreyn | Sir_Andrei: what'S the output of "sudo blkid" ? | 02:41 |
| Sir_Andrei | blkid at least return some lines | 02:42 |
| Sir_Andrei | Ill upload it. | 02:42 |

| tomreyn | this will take me some minutes now | 02:43 |
| Sir_Andrei | Thx C: | 02:44 |
| tomreyn | Sir_Andrei: can you do : sudo lsblk 2>&1 | pastebinit | 02:44 |
| Sir_Andrei_s_bro | http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/cGg97bfh4Y/ | 02:45 |
| Sir_Andrei_s_bro | 02:45 | |
| tomreyn | Sir_Andrei_s_bro: do you have a file /boot/grub/device.map ? if so, tell me what's in there | 02:47 |
| Sir_Andrei_s_bro | No | 02:48 |
| Sir_Andrei_s_bro | Sorry... | 02:48 |
| Sir_Andrei | No* | 02:48 |
| Sir_Andrei | ls /boot/grub have some files..., but any device.map | 02:48 |
| tomreyn | Sir_Andrei: which is your bios_grub partition? | 02:56 |
| tomreyn | Sir_Andrei: sudo parted /dev/sda print 2>&1 | pastebinit | 02:59 |
| Sir_Andrei | I was installed gparted hahah | 02:59 |
| tomreyn | Sir_Andrei: what do you mean by "i was installed gparted"? | 02:59 |
| Sir_Andrei | 'Cause u gave me that command. | 03:00 |
| Sir_Andrei | And I was installing Gparted to be sure of what partition is biosgrub. | 03:00 |

| Sir_Andrei_s_bro | 03:00 | |
| jamie1 | if im running lubuntu, is there a way to install gnome de with wayland display server on it? | 03:04 |
| jamie1 | i found out after installing lubuntu that my favorite emu retroarch does not work right on x11 anymore | 03:05 |
| jamie1 | or do i have to go and install ubuntu or ubuntu gnome? | 03:06 |
| tomreyn | Sir_Andrei: hmm, i'm not sure what exactly the problem is. i suspect grub does not install its core files to the bios_grub partition, which is also very large (1MB would be common). this partition needs ot be within the first 2TB of your HDD, but this is the case, your disk has just 1 TB capacity. and i further assume that because grub doesn't find the bios_grub partition it then fails to resolve the UUIDs provided in grub.cfg. | 03:11 |
| tomreyn | but this is just a theory really. | 03:11 |
| Sir_Andrei | So... | 03:11 |
| tomreyn | Sir_Andrei: can you run: sudo grub-install /dev/sda 2>&1 | pastebinit; sudo parted /dev/sda print 2>&1 | pastebinit | 03:12 |

| tomreyn | Sir_Andrei_s_bro: is this a 32-bit system? | 03:16 |
| tomreyn | what's your hardware, which ubuntu did you install there? | 03:16 |
| Sir_Andrei | 64 bits. | 03:17 |
| Sir_Andrei | Lubuntu 18.04 (amd64). | 03:18 |
| tomreyn | Sir_Andrei: what does "cat /proc/version" report? | 03:18 |
| tomreyn | lscpu | pastebinit | 03:18 |
| oerheks | .. 32 bit uefi machine ?? | 03:19 |
| oerheks | omg | 03:19 |
| tomreyn | i think so, but i'm not sure how to reliably identify | 03:19 |
| oerheks | brand and model number can tell | 03:19 |
| tomreyn | Sir_Andrei: sudo dmidecode --type baseboard | pastebinit | 03:21 |
| tomreyn | Sir_Andrei_s_bro: ^ | 03:21 |
| Bashing-om | tomreyn: ' grep -w lm /proc/cpuinfo ' If you see "lm" in red, it's 64 bits. Otherwise it's 32 bits. | 03:22 |
| Sir_Andrei | I was making some food. | 03:22 |
| Bashing-om | tomreyn: Also ' sudo lshw | grep "description: CPU" -A 12 | grep width | 03:22 |
| Bashing-om | It says clearly whether it's 64 or 32 bits (may take a little while to finish). | 03:22 |
| tomreyn | Bashing-om: okay, but that's the cpu, not the mainboard's boot capability, right | 03:22 |

| Sir_Andrei_s_bro | dmicode --type baseboard ^ | 03:25 |
| tomreyn | Sir_Andrei: so i think you should see again how you can boot the ubuntu installer in efi mode, not bios mode, which aou apprently did. | 03:27 |
| tomreyn | and then i think it would actually make boith ubuntu and windows work | 03:27 |
| Sir_Andrei | You mean "install" on efi mode. | 03:28 |
| Sir_Andrei | I'm booting from Lubuntu Live first. | 03:28 |
| Sir_Andrei | Then installing. | 03:28 |
| tomreyn | Sir_Andrei: yes, i'm saying you need to start the lubuntu live/installer in efi mode, not bios | 03:29 |

| Sir_Andrei | One moment. I'll restart the baby. | 03:32 |
| lotuspsychje | Rockwood: there is a nautilus package to resize images too | 03:32 |

| badpilot | Hi all I recently attempted a macbuntu transformation and I can't get compizconfig to load different windows animations. I tried reinstalling and it didn't fix | 03:33 |
| Sir_Andrei | Boot mode is "Legacy Support" | 03:33 |
| cfhowlett | best you ask macbuntu for support of that pacakge, badpilot | 03:33 |
| oerheks | macbuntu ... the horror theme.. | 03:34 |
| badpilot | Oh... do they have a channel? | 03:34 |
| tomreyn | Sir_Andrei: see, that's bios booting | 03:34 |
| Sir_Andrei | Nice. | 03:34 |
| * oerheks shivers | 03:34 | |
| Sir_Andrei | UEFI is the other option... | 03:34 |
| cfhowlett | oerheks, could be worse. there is an ubuntu/windows theme somewhere out in the wild | 03:34 |
| Sir_Andrei | So..., got it, I have to select UEFI mode. | 03:34 |
| oerheks | i know, reinstall ! | 03:34 |
| badpilot | oerheks: I'm a bit mac obsessed | 03:34 |
| tomreyn | Sir_Andrei: set it to uefi and see if windows still boots | 03:34 |
| badpilot | but I have come across some terrible icon sets | 03:35 |
| badpilot | bleh... don't get me started | 03:35 |
| Sir_Andrei | If I select Windows Boot Manager it boots, yea. | 03:35 |
| tomreyn | Sir_Andrei: where do you select that? | 03:35 |
| Sir_Andrei | F12 | 03:35 |
| Sir_Andrei | I don't know the name. | 03:36 |
| Sir_Andrei | The same place where I select to boot my USB Stick. | 03:36 |

| Sir_Andrei | Without biosgrub, right? | 03:36 |
| Sir_Andrei | Tom, where are you from? | 03:37 |
| tomreyn | Sir_Andrei: you're using efi booting now, meaning ubuntu will share the ESP with windows | 03:37 |
| Sir_Andrei | Nice C: | 03:37 |
| tomreyn | Sir_Andrei: so no need for a biosgrub partition. but you can and should just do automatic partitioning so that windows is preserved. | 03:37 |

| gast | how can i clear all messages from gnome notifcation area from command line, all tips are welcome .. | 08:12 |
| cristian_c | gast: do messages stay there forever? | 08:17 |
| gast | well its a script that i run, i like to clear it once a while | 08:18 |
| gast | and yes they then run forever | 08:18 |
| gast | it would be nice to clear it , so it has more space for the next run | 08:19 |
| gast | ubuntu 18.04 LTS default gnome desktop | 08:20 |
| ducasse | gast: check the docs for the notification daemon, dunst has a keybinding (ctrl+space) to clear notifications | 08:20 |
| gast | yeah, thats the idea, but instead of the crtl+space , it would be nice to add the clear command to the script.. | 08:21 |
| ducasse | there might be some command you can send via dbus, but you would need to ask the gnome devs about that | 08:23 |
| gast | ok, reading the docs right now ;) | 08:26 |
| gast | ok, found the solution : notify-send --hint int:transient:1 "Title" "Body" | 08:33 |
| cristian_c | :O | 08:33 |
| gast | the --hint int:transient:1 part does the trick, so it no longer adds a long row of messages .. | 08:33 |
| gast | just have to re-write the script .. | 08:33 |

| pinga | yes | 10:56 |
| zomaar | When hardware starts behaving like that it becomes rather.... endless ;-). | 10:56 |
| pinga | hmm | 10:56 |
| pinga | It's actually new (refurbished) | 10:57 |
| zomaar | But you have the same still in Windows? | 10:57 |
| pinga | so I guess I'll call the shop up and complain | 10:57 |
| pinga | I wiped windows os so haven't been able to test that | 10:57 |
| pinga | maybe I could boot from a usb and see if the issue is still present | 10:58 |
| zomaar | You could try running the installer as it's a mini windows environment | 10:58 |
| zomaar | Yes | 10:58 |
| zomaar | But making use of warranty terms before they run out is.... advisable | 10:58 |
| pinga | ugh bloody hardware why can't anything be easy haha | 10:58 |
| zomaar | And don't let them get you hooked on troubleshooting that will extend past that term | 10:59 |
| zomaar | Yeah | 10:59 |
| zomaar | But if you cannot find anything online about it, then you have a strong case to blame the hardware ;-) | 10:59 |
| pinga | Tbh since it's a refurb I wouldn't be surprised | 11:00 |
| zomaar | You did not find anything when searching? | 11:00 |
| pinga | Just seemed odd that the issue happened after the reinstall | 11:00 |
| pinga | A few things suggesting some sort of config error | 11:01 |
| zomaar | I'm not saying it's not a interplay between the Linux kernel and your laptop | 11:01 |
| zomaar | however when hardware starts behaving like that the "end is lost" | 11:01 |
| pinga | but when I get the status of the battery in terminal it sounds fine | 11:01 |
| zomaar | What Ubuntu are you using? | 11:02 |
| pinga | I'll try the mini boot like you sugggested tho | 11:02 |
| pinga | 18.04 LTS | 11:02 |
| zomaar | So you got a recent kernel | 11:02 |
| pinga | yah ^^ | 11:03 |
| zomaar | If you can get a 16.04.3 ISO or 16.04.0 you could try other kernels | 11:03 |
| zomaar | but yeah I would suggest getting other hardware instead | 11:03 |
| pinga | $5#$)#$)@ | 11:04 |
| tomreyn | wen it comes to anything acpi related, cross-testing with windows is probably a good idea. but i'm with zomaar, this sounds a lot like hardware issues. maybe they forogt to replace a fully dead battery when they refurbished | 11:04 |
| pinga | nooooo | 11:04 |
| zomaar | (even if it is software you have no hopes of solving it) | 11:04 |
| tomreyn | well, could look for a bios update. but if they refurbished, you should already have that | 11:05 |
| zomaar | oh someone here had some acpi script right? For Grub? Was that you? | 11:06 |
| zomaar | tom? | 11:06 |
| tomreyn | not me | 11:06 |
| tomreyn | (and i dont know what you're referring to) | 11:06 |
| tomreyn | oh maybe TJ's | 11:07 |
| zomaar | someone has script online that will check flags for windows version for grub to emulate windows | 11:07 |
| pinga | I saw something like that when I was googling around | 11:07 |
| zomaar | yeah TJ | 11:07 |
| zomaar | that's him | 11:07 |
| pinga | to reset battery configs or something | 11:07 |
| tomreyn | you can get the bios version using "sudo dmidecode --type bios" and the laptop model using "sudo dmidecode --type baseboard" | 11:08 |
| zomaar | You get something like this: acpi_osi=! \"acpi_osi=Windows 2006\"" | 11:08 |
| zomaar | in the grub command line | 11:08 |
| tomreyn | http://iam.tj/prototype/enhancements/Windows-acpi_osi.html | 11:09 |
| zomaar | apparently acpi_osi="Windows 2006" would be sufficient, or Windows 2012 | 11:10 |
| tomreyn | but just testing with windows installer is probably easier for a first step | 11:10 |
| tomreyn | well, not easier, but more telling | 11:11 |
| zomaar | I'd suggest putting acpi_osi="Windows 2006" immediately in /etc/default/grub and giving it a go | 11:11 |
| pinga | wow that's really something | 11:12 |
| pinga | zomaar: thanks heaps | 11:12 |
| zomaar | update-grub, reboot, see if it happens, otherwise reboot to Windows ISO | 11:12 |
| zomaar | oh yeah you cannot put it in grub default without the ! and the quotes | 11:14 |
| zomaar | but you can try it while booting of course (press E to edit the grub menu) | 11:14 |
| pinga | Yeah I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the suggestions (: | 11:16 |
| zomaar | What does your "sudo strings /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DSDT | grep -i windows | sort" give? Just curious | 11:17 |

| erle- | unpatched and /published/ | 11:41 |
| tomreyn | erle-: exploits / detailed technical descritions published? | 11:47 |
| tomreyn | erle-: but yes, faster patch cycles on web browsers would be great to have. | 11:47 |
| erle- | tomreyn, a new publish version is considered a detailed publication | 12:02 |
| erle- | tomreyn, you can diff the Firefox code and see where the problem is | 12:02 |
| erle- | tomreyn, that's what Patchdays are for: everybody patches roughly at the same time before detailed publication | 12:02 |
| erle- | it is not about faster | 12:03 |
| erle- | it is about the fact that it has been released outside of Ubuntu | 12:03 |
| erle- | if it were not released, there would be no problem | 12:03 |

| duncan213 | ^??? | 13:51 |
| tomreyn | mnr200: it should be, since its release, it's an LTS version | 13:52 |
| mnr200 | duncan213, I'm currently using Ubuntu 16.04 and want to upgrade to 18.04 | 13:52 |
| pavlos | skinux: have you tried, sudo apt install php-gd ? | 13:52 |
| tomreyn | mnr200: uogrades are not yet supported. i t will be starting ~ 18.04.1 | 13:53 |
| mnr200 | tomreyn, so how safe is to switch 18.04 instead of 18.04.1, or should I just wait for that? | 13:54 |
| juslintek | Hi, how to make huge VPN list loading faster or async, for example loads first 5 other can be filtered, on gnome? | 13:54 |
| juslintek | Because I've imported all nordvpn vpn profiles and every time I open system ultities and switch to network tab it hangs up. | 13:55 |
| tomreyn | mnr200: it's not supported, yet. some people have done it nevertheless, and those not using nvidia drivers didnt seem to run into a lot a issues. up to you. | 13:55 |
| juslintek | sorry not system utilities, but system, on Ubuntu 18.04 | 13:56 |
| juslintek | Desktop* | 13:56 |
| mnr200 | tomreyn, got it, thanks! | 13:56 |
| tomreyn | juslintek: what's the purpose of having > 5 VPN configurations? | 13:57 |
| juslintek | tomreyn, to prevent System panel hangging, while it tries to load 10 000 VPN servers list. :( | 14:02 |
| juslintek | I've imported all profiles using nmcli inside for loop or profiles list. | 14:03 |
| juslintek | And now system panel hangs up, when initiated. | 14:04 |
| juslintek | tomreyn, oh you mean why I should use more then 5 alternate vpn networks? Its for special services that can only be access via those countries. Basically for monitoring purposes. | 14:05 |
| tomreyn | juslintek: you do service monitoring from a desktop comuter? | 14:07 |
| juslintek | tomreyn, whats the purpose of this question? How is it even related to the problem? Is it some trolling pick up line? | 14:07 |
| ioria | sweet | 14:08 |
| tomreyn | it's an unusual use case, you are probably the first person to ever import 10K VPN profiles to network manager. so i'm wondering why you would, and whether there can be a better approach. trying to help yoiu, you know. | 14:08 |
| juslintek | tomreyn, everything is automatized, but I manage monitoring settings, for streaming data to our main service, which is access only locally from our office. Okay imagine city scale intranets, which are used per town administration of different sectors all over the world. And we provide these services to them, but sometimes they have issues or we have changes in server settings so need to connect and tweak those settings for them. | 14:10 |
| juslintek | And on some countries those services are hosted on windows machine, so need to connect via locally identifiable ip and then access from there web panel. | 14:12 |
| tomreyn | juslintek: okay, but why do you monitor this from a desktop computer? | 14:12 |
| juslintek | tomreyn, I'm not monitoring. I'm tweaking settings. But the services I'm tweaking settings are for minotoring basically graphana type of monitoring. | 14:13 |
| juslintek | Grafana | 14:14 |
| juslintek | Okay lets change the question. Is there any alternative system panels for gnome? | 14:14 |
| juslintek | Or is there possibility to tweak their settings, maybe there are some alternative ui display methods? | 14:15 |
| tomreyn | juslintek: you should probably have one headless system which sets up the vpn connection (and may store many openvpn - i assume - profiles). and then another system which runs a graphical desktop which then connect to the remote network though this headless server. | 14:15 |
| juslintek | tomreyn, I could, but I will not. I have no business level permissions to change that, everyone else is using mac, which has nordvpn client which already store all services and displays in performance friendly manner. | 14:20 |
| juslintek | And they are probably only going to release linux UI in future, because minority of paid customers are from Linux and guess they use it for some other purposes, which do not require UI. | 14:21 |
| === semeion is now known as mnemonic | ||
| tomreyn | juslintek: are you saying the macs have those 10K VPN profiles configured and their GUI doesn't lag while importing them? | 14:25 |
| tomreyn | ...or while using them | 14:25 |
| juslintek | tomreyn, yep, because it picks them up async, via filter, lag, very fast. ;-) | 14:26 |
| tomreyn | if so, i suggest you post a feature request discussing why you need this with higher performance, and that it already works on a mac. | 14:26 |
| juslintek | Cool, will do that. | 14:27 |
| juslintek | tomreyn, where should I do that? | 14:29 |
| juslintek | Maybe I can do it myself, where is the repo of that, then I can ask for pull request. :-D | 14:29 |
| juslintek | Because I think it not that hard to do. just need to load max 5 via abc profiles while above there should be a filter which on keyinput starts changing those 5 with other 5 profiles, depending on they letters entered. | 14:30 |
| Neomex | anyone here developing games on linux? what do you use? im trying to setup monogame but their content pipeline is killing me | 14:36 |
| juslintek | Neomex, you're wasting time. Drivers are not game engine ready. Go back to windows. | 14:38 |
| * Neomex cries | 14:39 | |
| juslintek | If you'll develop on ubuntu, you'll be missing out on latest features and will have to struggle with continious render lag. | 14:45 |
| EriC^^ | just call the game continious render lag and make a thing out of it | 14:45 |

First one is that I don't have audio at all and second one is that whenever I play any video on any browser (html5), the video is choppy (it struggles and "jumps"), but when I download that exact same video and play it with VLC It plays perfectly. I haven't a clue on how could I fix it, audio isn't muted (already checked in alsamixer and | 15:05 |
| stobrendo | pavucontrol), headphones are working and already did `modprobe pcspkr`, also already installed lubuntu-restricted-extras , ubuntu-restricted-extras vpx-tools, wavpack, gnome-alsamixer and i965-va-driver. What else could be missing or wrong_ | 15:06 |

| Gegsite | I just updated my 18.04 with latest updates and my resolution after reboot is stuck on 1280x1024 on Xorg | 15:58 |
| Gegsite | It was 1920x1080 ... | 15:59 |
| hiya | Ubuntu 18 LTS is listening to port 25 by default | 16:02 |
| hiya | what could it be? how to stop it? | 16:03 |
| tomreyn | sudo lsof -i :25 | 16:03 |
| tomreyn | hiya: this should tell | 16:03 |
| hiya | tomreyn, it says SMTP | 16:03 |
| hiya | but i never ran it in 16.04 | 16:03 |
| tomreyn | hiya: it's the default smtp server port, though. | 16:04 |
| stobrendo | tomreyn: so, only way to fix it is messing around with kernels parameters and recompiling? Isn't there any chance of a distro that would work with any hassle? I never imagined it could be possible to have to mess with the kernel in order to make ubuntu work fine | 16:04 |
| hiya | how to disable that service, tomreyn ? | 16:04 |
| tomreyn | stobrendo: it's not so much ubuntu or linux that's the problem, it's using hardware by companies which don't provide good linux drivers. | 16:05 |
| tomreyn | hiya: first you'll need to identify the service. i provided you the command to identify the process, then you can probably identify the service or packages based on that. | 16:06 |
| hiya | tomreyn, how to check package from PID? | 16:07 |
| tomreyn | hiya: find out how the process was started: ps ef PID | 16:08 |
| hiya | /usr/lib/postfix/sbin/master | 16:09 |
| tomreyn | hiya: this will be the postfix mail server. "dpkg -S /usr/lib/postfix/sbin/master" may help you identify the package, but it should be "postfix" | 16:10 |
| tomreyn | the service is probably called "postfix", too | 16:10 |
| hiya | tomreyn, you rock | 16:12 |
| hiya | tomreyn, how do i learn what u just did? | 16:13 |
| tomreyn | hiya: if you want to know when it was installed, you can zgrep -F postfix /var/log/apt/term.log* | sort -nr | 16:13 |
| tomreyn | hiya: use ubuntu or other linux distros, primarily from a terminal, for a couple years. | 16:13 |
| tomreyn | and actually plan to run and maintain services for yourself and friends or other projects (i.e. force yourself to become acquainted with the most important commands for this purpose) | 16:15 |
| hiya | ok | 16:15 |
| tomreyn | also watching this chat and learning from others can help. i learn a lot here. | 16:16 |
| hiya | ok | 16:16 |
| blackflow | hiya: ubuntu wont teach you the internals of linux distros. run LFS or Gentoo for a while to learn how it's made and how stuff works internally. | 16:20 |

| kubast2 | if you mean the ubuntu one it is not there by default in kde neon so I'm looking forward to using the tool | 18:08 |
| andres_ | bad idea...i had problems with that last win update...only win worked i installed ubuntu on a full system...and never been happier | 18:08 |
| kubast2 | it seems like a double edged sword to only feature autoinstall in cli tool for the driver especially if someone uses graphics-drivers or xorg-edgers repository | 18:08 |

| EriC^^ | elyon: are you using uefi? | 18:09 |

| EriC^^ | persi: i guess it's an isp cache problem, you could try bypassing the cache using curl's nocache option and manually copying the file to your ../archives dir so ubuntu uses it instead to install | 18:42 |
| EriC^^ | what do you think? | 18:42 |
| persi | sounds great. | 18:42 |
| persi | if only i know how to use curl no cache opt. :D | 18:42 |
| EriC^^ | persi: ok, try "curl -H 'Cache-Control: no-cache' 122.2.223.138:80/data/0056f6df5b35d922/au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/gcc-5/gcc-5_5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.10_amd64.deb" | 18:43 |
| EriC^^ | then run md5sum on the file it gives in your current working dir | 18:43 |
| persi | can i apply that to all hash mismatch? | 18:43 |
| EriC^^ | well i guess so, i've never actually tried this before :P | 18:44 |
| persi | is it reversible just in case? | 18:44 |
| EriC^^ | yeah sure | 18:44 |
| EriC^^ | no worries :) | 18:44 |
| persi | i have around 5 hash mismatch | 18:44 |
| EriC^^ | ah, try the gcc one first, curl sometimes doesn't bypass the cache you see | 18:45 |

| strive | jeremies: Generate a priv/pub key and throw the pub key on the server. | 21:03 |
| oerheks | jnewt, use the mainline debs, or the wiki https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel | 21:04 |

| gambl0re | find /dire -type d -name openshot_qt returns find: ‘/openshot_qt’: No such file or directory | 21:05 |
| oerheks | oh, it is all explained at the mainline wiki, what kernel package and in what order | 21:05 |
| hggdh | gambl0re: replace /dire with the directory you want | 21:06 |
| gambl0re | find /openshot_qt -type d -name openshot_qt | 21:06 |
| gambl0re | like that? | 21:06 |
| hggdh | gambl0re: yes | 21:06 |
| gambl0re | find /openshot_qt -type d. still says no file or directory | 21:07 |
| gambl0re | even if i put a folder that im 100% sure i do have, still returns no file or directory | 21:07 |

| gambl0re | oerheks, i just said, that i tried searching for a folder that im sure i do have and still returns: no file or directory | 21:11 |
| hggdh | gambl0re: then you (1) are giving the wrong directory for stat; (2) are looking at the wrong filesystem | 21:11 |
| oerheks | try something like openshot* if you are not sure about the folder name | 21:12 |
| hggdh | or just try find / -type d -name whatever | 21:12 |
| EriC^^ | gambl0re: maybe it's not a dir you're looking at | 21:12 |
| gambl0re | i found the folder. its actually a hidden folder. not sure if that commands includes hidden dir's but thanks anyways | 21:12 |

| jnewt | Bashing-om : not mine. i have a picture of a head, drop down for user password entry and a single button in the lower right that says "Log In" | 21:48 |
| jnewt | i'm thinking this installation was originally ubuntu-mate. now it's forcing me back after my upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04 | 21:53 |
| EriC^^ | jpleau: do you have another usb you can try? | 21:54 |
| jpleau | EriC^^: what do you mean by another usb? | 22:02 |
| oerheks | Intel pentium M , GMA900 .. maybe lubuntu will ru on that single core | 22:06 |
| oerheks | c/run | 22:06 |
| EriC^^ | jpleau: for the live usb you're using to install | 22:17 |
| myself | I recently replaced my laptop's main SSD, so the old drive (with my encrypted ubuntu 16.04 installation on it) is now hanging off an external USB interface. When I plug it into my (fresh 18.04) system now, it prompts me for a password, which I supply.....and then nothing happens. | 22:33 |
| myself | I tried manually mounting it as per step 7 here https://www.loganmarchione.com/2015/05/encrypted-external-drive-with-luks/#Step_7_8211_Mount_device but I get "unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member'" | 22:34 |
| myself | I feel like I'm missing something boneheaded with the mounting, but I don't really know where to start. Any pointers are appreciated! | 22:34 |
| jpleau | EriC^^: I tried them all. I ended up using an archlinux iso to isntall grub, and install the .ISO to another partition, and booting from disk instead | 22:35 |
| jnewt | updated to 18.04 today had to get rid of the kernel and update to 4.17 due to panic on boot now i'm left with: 1. can't figure out how to get cinnamon to start automatically, stuck in mate 2. can't browse windows network (no error) 3. can't run software requiring usb (libusb couldn't open USB device Permission denied libusb requires write access to USB device nodes). | 22:41 |
| oerheks | sounds like you run mint, jnewt ?? | 22:42 |
| jnewt | what? no, ubuntu | 22:42 |
| myself | Oooooooh. I wonder if the problem is that both the old and new disks both have partitions claiming to be part of 'ubuntu-vg' group, but they're not actually the same VG.. | 22:43 |
| jnewt | just want some help so i can get back to work. | 22:43 |
| oerheks | using an mainline kernel can give unforseen issues, now you want us to get things back to as it was,.. | 22:45 |
| oerheks | backup data and reinstall | 22:45 |
| EriC^^ | jpleau: oh | 22:46 |
| jnewt | oerheks, me? | 22:46 |
| EriC^^ | jpleau: sounds good | 22:46 |
| oerheks | jnewt, yes, if you want to get back to work fast. | 22:47 |
| jnewt | i can go back to the kernel that came with the upgrade, but it won't boot. what kernel do you suggest? | 22:49 |
| Viking667 | Hi all. What's the difference between mlocate and updatedb? My system seems to run updatedb.findutils and then updatedb.mlocate | 22:53 |
| myself | Here's a paste of my situation: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/yQdhnV9GNt/ So, sda is my main disk on internal SATA, sdb is the old disk now on USB. Last time I worked with partitions at this level was 1996 so I don't quite have a good mental model of the end-state I should be aiming for, so it's tricky to get there. I need to get the sdb5 to be mounted like sda5 is, but.... how is that? | 22:54 |
| oerheks | yay 0.32 https://community.ubuntu.com/t/mir-0-32-0-release/6774 | 23:29 |
| Biessie | Anyone know why my ISP would block (im assuming its blocked) any connections to my WAN IP from inside the network? It doesn't allow me to see anything from inside the LAN but it allows people to outside.. Thats everything. SSHD/FTPD/APACHE2/VNC/etc | 23:50 |
| Biessie | i can access any server using LAN ip:port but i can not using WAN ip:port | 23:50 |
