| ubuntunoob | wifi is hard blocked after resuming the laptop from suspend. Tried most if not all solutions on Ubuntu's Stackexchange page... Laptop is HP ab035tx. WiFi card - RTL 8723BE. Secure boot bisabled in BIOS and in MOK. Tried github drivers and a lot of other methods. Thanks for your time. Any help will be really appreciated! | 01:12 |
| xamithan | Click the wifi button to turn it on | 01:15 |
| === ianychoi_ is now known as ianychoi | ||
| tomreyn | what does "hard blocked" means and what does "rfkill list" show before and after suspend? | 01:17 |
| ubuntunoob | after suspend, rfkill list shows hard blocked - yes | 01:17 |
| oerheks | is this on a encrypted system with encryted swap? | 01:18 |
| ubuntunoob | @xamithan the aeroplane mode button does not work either | 01:18 |
| ubuntunoob | no, no encryption enabled. secure boot disabled | 01:18 |
| xamithan | well hard blocked means it is in the bios or hardware blocking it | 01:18 |
| oerheks | fn key + wireless perhaps | 01:18 |
| tomreyn | do you have a wireless specific keyboard combo to switch it on / off? | 01:18 |
| ubuntunoob | It works fine till the laptop goes into sleep, then goes hard-blocked | 01:19 |
| ubuntunoob | @tomreyn the airplane mode key does not work in ubuntu. it is f12 key. It works in windows though | 01:20 |
| tomreyn | ubuntunoob: airplane mode is probably not wireless only, but meant to control all kinds of networking (also bluetooth). so i was wondering about a wireless only button / key combo | 01:21 |
| ubuntunoob | I do not have any such button | 01:22 |
| duckx0r | Does anyone else have the problem where after resuming a suspended session it brings you to the login screen instead of the unlock screen? And then logging in again just seems to hang the system? It happens to me randomly, like maybe 1 in 15 suspends. It is also something specific to 18.04 because I didn't have this problem at all in 17.10. | 01:22 |
| erik_m | I just installed an 18.04 server now I want to bind the up and down arrows to bash history. 1) Says 'bind: Not Found' 2) apt install bind returns 'Package 'bind' has no installation candidate'. Any Ideas? | 01:22 |
| leftyfb | erik_m: by default, in ubuntu, if you're in a terminal and you press the up or down error, it will show you the commands from your history | 01:23 |
| leftyfb | erik_m: there's no need to bind anything | 01:23 |
| ubuntunoob | oerheks: nope | 01:24 |
| erik_m | @leftyb: That is what I though but I am getting scan codes when pressing up or down. Maybe it is an ssh thing | 01:24 |
| leftyfb | erik_m: shouldn't be | 01:25 |
| leftyfb | erik_m: what version of ubuntu are you ssh'ing into and what type/version OS are you ssh'ing from and with what client? | 01:25 |
| xamithan | Are you sure your ctrl or alt keys or something aren't stuck down? | 01:25 |
| ubuntunoob | xamithan: if that was for me, yes, I am positive no other keys were pressed. I even had a keypress monitoring tool running in terminal | 01:27 |
| erik_m | @leftyb I am on an Ubuntu Mate 18.04 (terminal) connecting to Ubuntu Server 18.04 (Hosted/vitual) | 01:27 |
| leftyfb | erik_m: hosted how/where? | 01:27 |
| erik_m | @xamithan Yes no other keys a locked/pressed | 01:28 |
| erik_m | @leftyb Rackspace. They call it 'cloud servers' but is a public Open Stack | 01:29 |
| tomreyn | ubuntunoob: you may want to try playing with the module options - especially those related to power save: https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new/wiki/rtl8723be-options | 01:29 |
| leftyfb | ericus: can you ssh to the same machine you're on to test if it's a problem with your local client | 01:30 |
| tomreyn | ubuntunoob: i would suggest fwlps=0 swlps=1 for starters | 01:30 |
| ubuntunoob | tomreyn: disabled power save, tried rtlfinger from github | 01:30 |
| tomreyn | ubuntunoob: all three forms of power save then? | 01:31 |
| ubuntunoob | tomreyn: i disabled power management for the card, if that's what you mean | 01:31 |
| tomreyn | ubuntunoob: fwlps swlps and ips are the power save related module options | 01:32 |
| ubuntunoob | tomreyn: i'll go try that now... I'll ping you here with the results | 01:33 |
| tomreyn | a german language forum i was just looking at suggests to use swenc=1 fwlps=0 ips=0 ant_sel=1 | 01:33 |
| erik_m | @leftyfb no issue when ssh to local or other 18.04 server on lan | 01:34 |
| erik_m | @leftyfb I think I found something but I will need to test later. I was following this guide https://plusbryan.com/my-first-5-minutes-on-a-server-or-essential-security-for-linux-servers and is calls for useradd instead of adduser. Think that the account that I added is an empty "shell" | 01:41 |
| xamithan | Just usermod and fix it | 01:42 |
| ubuntunoob | tomreyn: could you please repeat your command? | 01:43 |
| tomreyn | <tomreyn> ubuntunoob: i would suggest fwlps=0 swlps=1 for starters | 01:43 |

| gasull | Where can I find an Ubuntu installation ISO image for a non-graphical installation? | 01:44 |
| ubuntunoob | tomreyn: thank you. One second while I try! | 01:44 |
| === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash | ||
| Bashing-om | !minimal | gasull | 01:44 |
| ubottu | gasull: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 01:44 |
| tomreyn | the latter seems to combine disabling power save with the ant_sel bluetooth co-existence workaround for better performance. | 01:45 |
| tomreyn | ubuntunoob: ^ | 01:45 |
| tomreyn | gasull: one of the server images will also work, you just need to install the "ubuntu-desktop" package afterwards. | 01:45 |
| tomreyn | you should ideally have an ethernet connection for this, though | 01:46 |
| ubuntunoob | tomreyn: is there any way I can make sure the options are in effect currently? | 01:56 |
| === Tin^man is now known as Tin_man | ||
| hfp | Is there a version of top that shows the ARC (ZFS) summary on Linux like on FreeBSD? | 01:57 |
| ubuntunoob | tomreyn: nope, did not work. WiFi still hard blocked after resume from suspend | 01:57 |
| tomreyn | ubuntunoob: systool -v -m rtl8723be | 01:57 |
| tomreyn | ubuntunoob: that's to answer your question. a pity it would not work. return the computer if you can, or replace the wireless chipset / modem / card | 01:58 |
| ubuntunoob | tomreyn: rebooting to get WiFi back. And I've seen issues with other cards that Hp support. Apparently, I can't use any other WiFi card because of some FCC thing | 02:00 |
| tomreyn | ubuntunoob: you might need a patched bios for this, right. hp blacklists hardware ids in bios on some models. | 02:01 |
| ubuntunoob | Yeah. Any way I can get WiFi working? | 02:02 |
| tomreyn | well you have it working, until you suspend. so dont suspend, i guess | 02:03 |
| ubuntunoob | tomreyn: Is this a driver or firmware issue? :( | 02:03 |
| tomreyn | this is a chipset maker doesn't support linux, and buyer didnt check the hardware before they bought issue | 02:03 |
| ubuntunoob | tomreyn: oh damn. I mean I've had this laptop for long, v want to learn Linux. | 02:05 |
| ubuntunoob | So there's no solution at all? | 02:05 |
| oerheks | make it not sleep/hybernate | 02:05 |
| ubuntunoob | oerheks: but it's a laptop :/ I keep moving around and all... Helps battery life. | 02:06 |
| xamithan | Shut it down when you aren't using it ? | 02:06 |
| xamithan | Issues like that is why no one buys HP for linux | 02:07 |
| oerheks | replace it with an intel minipci card | 02:07 |
| tomreyn | well thiunkspads can work fine | 02:07 |
| tomreyn | ubuntunoob: alternatively sell it, buy a different pre-owned one at the same price. | 02:08 |
| ubuntunoob | xamitham: hmmm.. okay. I got it 2 years back, undergraduate peep... Got interested in Linux, so disk boots... Didn't expect this :/ | 02:08 |
| xamithan | Could always just run windows and use VMs | 02:09 |
| ubuntunoob | oerheks: how does not have it on their bios hardware, last I checked | 02:09 |
| ubuntunoob | xamithan: true, but the performance was quite bad. Hence dual boot | 02:10 |
| xamithan | Its got an i7 and 8gb ram and has bad performance on VMs? Maybe you didn't configure them right | 02:11 |
| ubuntunoob | xamithan: I did. 2 processors, 4gb ram allocation, enabled virtualization etc... But that's not the issue. I was wondering if I could get help on the WiFi card hopefully :) | 02:12 |
| bapa | ubuntunoob: What kind of performance? Graphics, disk, etc. ? | 02:12 |
| bapa | I heard people say enabling Host I/O cache improved performance a LOT for them in their VM software. I personally turn it off because I don't want to risk VM disc corruption, but there's that to consider. | 02:13 |
| ubuntunoob | bapa: fairly un-responsive. Takes time for... Tasks | 02:13 |
| xamithan | I don't think anyone can help ya beyond whats already been said =(, realtek|ralink are known to have terrible performance and issues | 02:13 |
| bapa | Also might want to make sure you give your VM all 4 cores. | 02:13 |
| bapa | WHat OS do you have in the VM? | 02:14 |
| ubuntunoob | xamithan: damn... That's sad... | 02:15 |
| ubuntunoob | bapa: I sure appreciate your help regarding that, but currently I'm interested in getting Ubuntu WiFi working in dual boot configuration. To answer that, host: windows 10, guest, Ubuntu 18.04 | 02:16 |
| bapa | Stupid question, but the VM .vmdk file isn't fragmented, right? | 02:17 |
| ubuntunoob | Nope :) | 02:17 |
| bapa | for my own curiosity though, are you using VMware of Hyper-V? | 02:17 |
| bapa | Please tell me Hyper-V. | 02:18 |
| ubuntunoob | Virtual box | 02:18 |
| ubuntunoob | ') | 02:18 |
| bapa | Have you verified VT-x is enabled? And/or checked the BIOS (of your host computer) to make sure it's on? | 02:18 |
| ubuntunoob | Yeah, yeah | 02:18 |
| xamithan | virtualbox is like the slowest thing ever | 02:18 |
| xamithan | even with guest tools installed | 02:18 |
| ubuntunoob | 😂 | 02:19 |
| bapa | have you checked if the Ubuntu VM *knows* it's being virtualized? (Then again, it's Ubuntu... should work automagically.) | 02:19 |
| bapa | Btw, sorry for all this noob-tier "advice". I know it's frustrating mang. | 02:19 |
| ubuntunoob | Thanks for your help guys! I'll look into buying the Intel mini pcie card, hopefully, that'll work! | 02:20 |
| tomreyn | switch to a different desktop on 18.04 VMs, it'll be a lot faster | 02:20 |
| ubuntunoob | bapa: it's okay! Yep. Ubuntu knows it's virtualized | 02:20 |
| tomreyn | good luck | 02:20 |
| ubuntunoob | Thank you! Have a good day you all! | 02:21 |

| tomreyn | FurretUber: there is the "restrict background data usage" option | 02:50 |

| ubNew | I just now restarted the network manager but still I am unable to see the option over there | 06:20 |
| ubNew | it showed up previously | 06:20 |
| ubNew | but not now | 06:20 |
| oerheks | myst that could well be correct, see the mac pages | 06:25 |
| __Myst__ | oerheks: what do you mean? | 06:25 |
| oerheks | !mac | 06:25 |
| ubottu | For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a Mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages | 06:25 |
| oerheks | i remember some model, with that issue | 06:25 |
| oerheks | pro 8,1 | 06:26 |
| __Myst__ | that's exactly my model | 06:27 |
| __Myst__ | oerheks: there oesn't seem to be any page for the 8,1? | 06:27 |
| oerheks | search for ubuntu + mac 8,1 + sdcardreader, tons of posts | 06:28 |
| oerheks | no fix, as that cardreader is integrated in the wireless, that does not work properly too | 06:29 |
| oerheks | wireless or ethernet. | 06:30 |
| __Myst__ | wireless works pretty properly? | 06:31 |
| __Myst__ | oerheks: so basically i'm going to have to install propietary drivers if i want this to work or does it just straight up not work at all? | 06:36 |
| oerheks | again: no. | 06:36 |
| oerheks | you could have found 10 pages with your problem, linux wide, not just ubuntu | 06:37 |
| __Myst__ | oerheks: i've been googling around a bit, and my lack of a solution led me here | 06:38 |
| oerheks | there *is* no solution :-( | 06:38 |
| oerheks | buy a cheap usb cardreader | 06:38 |
| __Myst__ | oerheks: how come there's *no* solution though? if the network card also controls the sd card reader, wouldn't the drivers for the network card allow you to use the sd card? how come that doens't work? | 06:39 |
| __Myst__ | also, i have a usb micro-sd card reader thankfully, but my 3ds uses a "full sized" sd card | 06:40 |
| __Myst__ | it gets a bit annoying for homebrew | 06:40 |
| oerheks | reverse engineering didn't work, and apple does not coop. | 06:40 |

| oerheks | that page has a laptop section, generally HP, Asus, Lenovo ( but some wireless are trash) | 06:42 |
| __Myst__ | I'm kinda scared of Lenovo tbh | 06:43 |
| oerheks | Lagair, make sure the names match, not even a space behind it | 06:44 |
| Lagair | oerheks: But what would cause the files to revert upon reboot. That's just odd. | 06:45 |
| oerheks | did you edit with sudo? | 06:45 |
| Lagair | Yep, sudo -i, then edit the files. | 06:46 |
| oerheks | Then i have no clue | 06:46 |
| oerheks | no special step after that.. | 06:47 |
| Lagair | And again, it resets /etc/hostname | 06:47 |
| oerheks | is this ubuntu server 18.04? | 06:48 |
| Lagair | Yes | 06:48 |
| oerheks | that has a new instance etc/cloud/cloud.cfg | 06:48 |
| oerheks | you need ot set "preserve_hostname: false TO: preserve_hostname: true" https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-change-hostname-on-ubuntu-18-04-bionic-beaver-linux | 06:49 |
| oerheks | and *then* the hostname will stay, static | 06:49 |
| oerheks | sudo hostnamectl set-hostname <markshuttleworthiscute> # should work too, systemD | 06:50 |
| Lagair | Where can I find more info on this cloud crap. Seems like they are making things more awkward than necessary. | 06:50 |

| lotuspsychje | kubast2_: systems specs? graphics card chipset? | 07:23 |
| kubast2_ | GT 910 arch linux kernel worked fine(4.17) i5-3470 8GB of ram ; there is only this sorta texture background and mpuse rendering for try it live it stops rendering half way through an effect the mouse also got some line in the middle of it in try it out mode p8h61-m lx3 r2.0 vga and hdmi connected lotuspychje | 07:26 |
| kubast2_ | Half way through desktop login effect* | 07:27 |
| lotuspsychje | kubast2_: nvidia driver version? | 07:29 |
| kubast2_ | nouveau | 07:29 |
| kubast2_ | It's the install iso idk | 07:29 |
| lotuspsychje | kubast2_: have you tryed 390? | 07:29 |
| kubast2_ | Ttys are disabled | 07:29 |
| kubast2_ | Stabs lotus | 07:29 |
| lotuspsychje | kubast2_: ubuntu-drivers list to see | 07:29 |
| kubast2_ | how it's an install media and ttys are disabled | 07:30 |
| kubast2_ | Unless there is some new shortcut for going to tty ,the install medium have a disabled text/console | 07:31 |
| lotuspsychje | kubast2_: have you tryed !nomodeset? | 07:31 |
| kubast2_ | nope but I just booted up arch it's gonna be my test unit anyway | 07:31 |
| lotuspsychje | !tty | kubast2_ | 07:32 |
| ubottu | kubast2_: To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution | 07:32 |
| kubast2_ | It would break on ubuntu and on arch | 07:32 |
| kubast2_ | doesn't work on install medium | 07:32 |
| lotuspsychje | we only support ubuntu here kubast2_ not arch | 07:32 |
| kubast2_ | ctrl+alt+FX | 07:32 |
| kubast2_ | Ik | 07:32 |
| kubast2_ | If ctrl+alt+FX worked I probablly wouldn't be here | 07:32 |
| kubast2_ | but yeh regardless I allready flashed the usb with arch ,gonna install it and get compiling | 07:33 |

| EriC^^ | hello | 08:16 |
| MrM1st | I'm having problems with wayland. Seems mouse clicks stops registering | 08:18 |
| guilain | hello? | 08:18 |
| MrM1st | guilain: hi | 08:18 |
| MrM1st | Anyone else having problems with wayland and mouse clicks? | 08:19 |
| guilain | my touch pad's physical key does't work | 08:20 |
| MrM1st | Everything starts out fine here. But suddenly the mouse button just stops responding after a while. And I know it's not a HW-problem. Logging out and changing to "gnome on Xorg" fixes everything... | 08:23 |
| guilain | yeah | 08:23 |
| guilain | but my ubuntu is ok ,when i use elementary os based ubuntu ,you can move but you can not click, | 08:25 |
| MrM1st | guilain: Does it use wayland or xorg? | 08:25 |
| guilain | if u restart xorg ,it's work | 08:25 |

| MrM1st | Seems like the same problem. I bet you're using wayland as well | 08:26 |
| MrM1st | hi luke | 08:26 |
| MrM1st | Heading out for lunch... bbl.. I'm having problems with mouse clicks using wayland | 08:27 |
| guilain | i don't know | 08:27 |
| guilain | it's ubuntu's driver | 08:28 |
| luke_66 | I'm using ubuntu 18.04 with gnome 3.28. I decided few days ago to install unity as a fallback desktop envirnment (just in case). Unfortunately today I did a reboot and the choice of desktop enviroment at the login screen disappeared, so I can only use unity | 08:28 |
| bapa | MrM1st: Opposite for me... Gnome apps -- namely the "Videos"/Totem app -- break under X. | 08:28 |
| bapa | But if I use Wayland, then Chromium breaks... | 08:28 |
| luke_66 | can someone provide help about that? | 08:28 |
| mar77i | hmm, I have this automated installation script, and I'm passing --option=Dpkg::Options::=--force-confnew to apt-get already, but the script still insists about "What would you like to do about menu.lst?" -- is there a way to pass the answer to that as well? | 08:51 |
| mar77i | I don't really have a stdin in this case. | 08:51 |
| matmal01 | My XTerm configuration options (Application Cursor Keys and Application Keypad settings on the Ctrl-MiddleClick menu) change when ssh'ing into and logging off from any machine, does anyone know of any reason this might happen? | 08:54 |

| newbuntu | a couple of days.. I donno what made it to stop working | 09:24 |
| Bigzie | Did you run updates | 09:24 |
| newbuntu | hmm yeah I do run updates whenever they pop up | 09:25 |
| Bigzie | No, did you run updates between the time it worked and last worked? | 09:25 |
| Bigzie | last not worked sorry | 09:26 |
| newbuntu | I am not sure Bigzie | 09:26 |
| Bigzie | If you didn't do any software update between when it worked and now | 09:26 |
| newbuntu | Bigzie: in case if you need this to respond https://kopy.io/HKpoJ | 09:27 |
| Bigzie | You might have to consider hardware failure although you did say that is working under X11 | 09:28 |
| melissa666 | newbuntu, check rfkill | 09:28 |

| Bigzie | MrM1st: I am not sure this best spot to find out if other people experience the same problem as yours | 09:38 |
| Bigzie | Now, if you can actually video record the problem that you having, that would move things along much faster | 09:39 |
| MrM1st | Bigzie: You're right. The gnome-terminal thing might be a bit off-topic :P However I wanted to throw it out there | 09:39 |

| Bigzie | MrM1st: First, address the author of the program | 09:41 |
| Bigzie | Before you address wayland | 09:41 |
| Bigzie | It's likely the Author knows about it | 09:42 |
| MrM1st | Bigzie: I'm trying the wayland channel instead then. | 09:44 |
| Bigzie | MrM1st: All programs don't respond to key presses? | 09:44 |
| Bigzie | MrM1st: Because I am pretty sure, one security issue that Wayland was trying to save, is that with X11, every software see key presses | 09:45 |

| stevenm_ | hey I think my system supports hibernating - but when I turn the system back on again i just get the normal grub bootup menu for a normal startup - ignoring presumably what is stored in swap | 10:06 |
| stevenm_ | is there an extra step i'm missing? | 10:06 |
| Bigzie | stevenm_: You not dual booting | 10:06 |
| stevenm_ | Bigzie, ? | 10:07 |
| Bigzie | yes/now | 10:07 |
| Bigzie | You are not dual booting? | 10:07 |
| stevenm_ | it does dual boot yes | 10:07 |
| Bigzie | Windows? | 10:08 |
| stevenm_ | unfortunately | 10:08 |
| Bigzie | That's the problem | 10:08 |
| stevenm_ | and it is the problem, because... | 10:08 |
| Bigzie | However, with hibernation, just boot as usuage | 10:08 |
| Bigzie | usual | 10:08 |
| Bigzie | It won't boot automatically like you expect | 10:08 |
| stevenm_ | no i'm not complaining about the grub menu | 10:09 |
| stevenm_ | i'm saying it doesn't do the resume after picking ubuntu (or letting it time out and itself picking ubuntu) | 10:09 |
| Bigzie | ahh | 10:09 |
| Bigzie | Well, the default Kernel command as resume tag | 10:09 |
| Bigzie | Should be the default | 10:10 |
| Bigzie | This, take from a grain of salt.. The kernel needs to see where stored image | 10:10 |
| stevenm_ | well i've read GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT needs to be altered to have a resume= added | 10:10 |
| Bigzie | What Ubuntu version on you on? | 10:10 |
| stevenm_ | 18.04 | 10:11 |
| stevenm_ | i've already had to trade the default swapfile for a swap partition to get this far | 10:11 |
| stevenm_ | what are the odds this even work if your using encrypted ext4? | 10:11 |
| stevenm_ | *works | 10:11 |
| * stevenm_ reads http://blog.pixelastic.com/2017/10/22/hibernating-ubuntu-16-04/ | 10:13 | |
| stevenm_ | this guy seems to have gone through the same steps :) | 10:14 |
| Bigzie | stevenm_: I am not expert on Ubuntu | 10:15 |
| Bigzie | But that shit should be easy for you | 10:15 |
| Bigzie | So I will concede because, unless it's a laptop, which I don't, nor a reason to investigate | 10:16 |
| === Richard is now known as Guest91502 | ||
| === Taggnostr is now known as Taggnostr2 | ||
| stevenm_ | ok forget all the above - i'm re-installing to see if I can get this straight first time around... | 10:42 |
| stevenm_ | ... | 10:42 |
| stevenm_ | if I *want* a swap partition (I want it as I've read a swapfile isn't compatible with hibernation)... but I also *want* encryption... then on the advanced partitioning screen do i make two "physical volume for encryption" entities both with the same password? | 10:42 |
| stevenm_ | as well as an ext2 /boot | 10:43 |
| stevenm_ | or perhaps is this only possible with luks + lvm - which i think is how i've seen it done before | 10:45 |
| stevenm_ | because if LVM is the answer then the advanced partitioning screen doesn't even give you options to make lvm physical volumes | 10:49 |
| BluesKaj | Hi folks | 10:50 |
| EriC^^ | stevenm_: the ubuntu installer isn't very encryption customizable | 10:51 |
| EriC^^ | if it's just that you dont want a swap file, im doubtful it causes hibernation issues, must have been something else | 10:51 |
| stevenm_ | been doing research into it... apparently it does | 10:52 |
| stevenm_ | i had a swapfile the first time - on a normal install... wouldn't hibernate until i changed to a partition | 10:52 |
| Triffid_Hunter | stevenm_: yeah the kernel wants a contiguous section of a block device with direct access for swap/hibernate, found that out the hard way trying to make swapfiles on btrfs.. have to run it through loop because btrfs uses cow so it's not contiguous on disk | 10:53 |
| stevenm_ | right so i can't use the normal 'wizard' like options as that'd erase other partition | 10:54 |
| stevenm_ | *s | 10:54 |
| stevenm_ | the install alongside option wont do encryption | 10:54 |
| stevenm_ | so i'm stuck with the advanced mode that can't handle lvm | 10:54 |
| stevenm_ | if lvm is even the answer... can't i just have a crypt ext4 and a crypt swap? | 10:55 |
| stevenm_ | but that'd mean two passwords i guess | 10:55 |
| Triffid_Hunter | stevenm_: I haven't bothered with lvm since btrfs was able to do most of that stuff at the filesystem level rather than block level | 10:57 |
| stevenm_ | this is as a result of mega over simplification i think | 11:09 |
| stevenm_ | i want to keep my other partitions, i want encryption, i want (for hibernation) a swap partition... and it just isn't possible using the UI | 11:09 |
| stevenm_ | since i believe that needs lvm and it won't do it | 11:09 |
| stevenm_ | so i'm left wondering if ubuntu desktop still has the old alternate text installer? | 11:10 |
| stevenm_ | because i know that has lvm support in it | 11:10 |
| stevenm_ | it's like i've fallen into a use case no one has thought about | 11:10 |
| stevenm_ | and i don't even like swap partitions | 11:11 |
| stevenm_ | i purposefully haven't been making them in ubuntu for yeeeaaars and now i want hibernation.... i kinda need one ? eugh | 11:11 |
| ppf | stevenm_: you can resize an existing partition | 11:16 |
| stevenm_ | ppf, not sure how that comes into this | 11:17 |
| ppf | you need space, do you not? | 11:17 |
| ppf | what's it you want to do? | 11:17 |
| ppf | add a swap partition to your system? | 11:17 |
| stevenm_ | it's all above | 11:18 |
| ppf | it's wall of text | 11:18 |
| ppf | summarize please | 11:18 |
| stevenm_ | it's difficult to summarise there are many factors | 11:18 |
| someone235 | Hi, I installed cuda from here: https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads?target_os=Linux&target_arch=x86_64&target_distro=Ubuntu&target_version=1710&target_type=deblocal | 11:18 |
| someone235 | and followed the instructions | 11:18 |
| ppf | do you want to add swap to a running system? do you want a new system? | 11:19 |
| someone235 | but I can't find the cuda binary | 11:19 |
| stevenm_ | ppf, this is a new system | 11:19 |
| ppf | someone235: 'binary'? | 11:19 |
| ppf | someone235: what specifically are you looking for | 11:19 |
| someone235 | ppf, where cuda is installed | 11:19 |
| ppf | stevenm_: the installer let's you partition the disk, including swap | 11:19 |
| stevenm_ | ppf, so? | 11:20 |
| someone235 | ppf, I know that it's usually in /usr/loca/cuda, but I can't find it there | 11:20 |
| ppf | someone235: which instructions did you follow | 11:20 |
| stevenm_ | ppf, what it does not allow is for the possibility of someone who a) wants to keep 4 existing partitions (windows and all its recovery crud)... but also b) wants encryption but also c) wants a swap partition as thats the only way to get hibernation to work | 11:20 |
| stevenm_ | it's a combination of things | 11:20 |
| someone235 | ppf, ubuntu 17.10 deb (local) | 11:21 |
| stevenm_ | the only way i've seen encrypted swap work is if it is an lvm lv along with the root lv in a pv that is on top of luks | 11:21 |
| ppf | stevenm_: these are somewhat orthogonal requirements | 11:21 |
| ppf | ah so you want encrypted swap | 11:21 |
| Tin_man | stevenm_, you'd be better off just adding a seperate HDD, or SDD and keep everything seperate.. | 11:22 |
| stevenm_ | and the advanced partitioning screen doesn't allow for lvm - despite the easy setup screen does do lvm if you pick encryption | 11:22 |
| ppf | stevenm_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnableHibernateWithEncryptedSwap | 11:22 |
| stevenm_ | ppf, that link helps how? because i've already been reading it | 11:22 |
| ppf | on top of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostInstallationEncryption | 11:22 |
| stevenm_ | that 2nd link isn't even the same encryption | 11:23 |
| someone235 | ppf, do you have any experience with cuda? | 11:24 |
| Bigzie | someone235: Was it a Zip program? | 11:24 |
| ppf | someone235: dpkg -L cuda-cudart-9-2 | 11:26 |

| initrm | hi there. i've got xubuntu 16.04.4 installed on my SSDs (so the standard installation i normally boot from). it's been (booting and) running fine like this for a while. however, booting this system today failed, it got stuck loading the initramfs. i tried the other kernels installed, but the effect was identical - stuck during initrd load. i have now booted from a xubuntu 16.04 installer live usb,a nd inspected the | 12:37 |
| initrm | initrd, and see it contains nothing but kernel/x86/microcode/ | 12:37 |
| initrm | kernel/x86/microcode/AuthenticAMD.bin actually | 12:37 |
| initrm | so i guess the amd64-microcode package seems to have caused this. | 12:38 |
| initrm | i've just run mkinitrd -c -k all from the chrooted 'default' system now, and it creates the same broken initrd's again | 12:38 |
| dziadu | ok, I found it | 12:38 |
| initrm | how should i proceed? | 12:39 |
| ogra_ | mkinitrd ? thats definitely not a valid ubuntu thing | 12:39 |
| ogra_ | ubuntu initrd's need to be built by update-initramfs | 12:39 |
| Sven_vB | seems to be a problem with my ext4. the numbers in df don't add up. | 12:39 |
| initrm | ogra_, whoops, i mixed those up, /usr/sbin/update-initramfs is what i ran | 12:40 |
| ogra_ | good ... | 12:40 |
| initrm | but this doesn't fix the situation ;) | 12:41 |
| ogra_ | the initrd ships *a lot* more than just the microcode (on x86 thats typically tens of megabytes of compressed scripts and drivers) | 12:41 |
| initrm | well, it should, yes | 12:41 |
| initrm | just this one doesnt | 12:41 |
| initrm | which will be why i'm stuck at boot | 12:41 |
| ogra_ | well, if you generate an initrd all the virtual filesystems (/dev, /proc, /sys) needs to be mounted ... if you do it insode a chroot, make sure they are mounted *inside* that chroot too | 12:43 |
| initrm | ogra_, how would you inspect the contents of an initrd? i used mkdir /tmp/initrd; cd /tmp/initrd; cpio -i </boot/initrd.img-4.15.0-24-generic | 12:43 |
| initrm | they are | 12:43 |
| ogra_ | to unpack an initrd you will also need to decompress it | 12:43 |
| initrm | only if its compressed, this one isnt | 12:44 |
| ogra_ | how did you get it to that state ? comoression is a default | 12:44 |
| ogra_ | did you tinker with the system defaults ? | 12:44 |
| initrm | are you sure? since i didnt change this default | 12:44 |
| initrm | i dot think i tinkered with system defaults, no. it was a fresh installation based on 16.04.2 | 12:45 |
| initrm | i installed using the classic server installer | 12:45 |
| ogra_ | $ grep COMPRESS /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf | 12:45 |
| ogra_ | # COMPRESS: [ gzip | bzip2 | lzma | lzop | xz ] | 12:45 |
| ogra_ | COMPRESS=gzip | 12:45 |
| ogra_ | ... | 12:45 |
| ogra_ | yes, i'm sure | 12:46 |
| Bigzie | I am reading | 12:46 |
| initrm | hmm, i have the same line there | 12:46 |
| Bigzie | Please next time post a link | 12:46 |
| ogra_ | then you should have a gzipped initrd | 12:46 |
| initrm | ogra_, okay, but then "cpio -i </boot/initrd.img-4.15.0-24-generic" would have failed, right? | 12:46 |
| ogra_ | yes, it should have complained | 12:47 |
| initrm | but it didnt | 12:47 |
| ogra_ | weird | 12:47 |
| Bigzie | initrm: intrd is compression | 12:47 |
| leftyfb | initrm: "based on 16.04"? Was it 16.04 or was it 16.04 that someone customized? | 12:47 |
| initrm | it extracted this one file fine | 12:47 |
| Bigzie | initrm: You just need to extract that to see the files | 12:47 |
| initrm | so my guess is that whatever the microcode package adds to the instructions on how to generate the initrd just overwrites everything else | 12:48 |
| Bigzie | uh | 12:48 |
| Bigzie | That's not in initd | 12:49 |
| Bigzie | That's vmlinux | 12:49 |
| initrm | Bigzie, hmm, well it is in mine | 12:49 |

| Tigran | hello guys. The recent upgrade of xorg has broken dual monitor setup completely. Namely, the system is unusable: after login even gnome-terminal causes random rectangles (of the colour matching the xterm's background colour) to appear on either of the monitors | 14:09 |
| Tigran | I meant 16.04.4. I am contemplating upgrade to 18.04.4 (I assume this xorg breakage is an "incentive" to upgrade) | 14:10 |
| jarnos | Hello! Are there any meta kernels in any Ubuntu release that depends on an linux-image-unsigned kernel? | 14:10 |
| Tigran | fortunately, I had a backup, so I reversed all that xorg stuff and right now have a usable (but a frozen non-upgradable 16.04.4 system). Any ideas? I can't log it as a bug because ubuntu-bug command requires apport package and I don't install bloatware on my system. | 14:11 |

| blackflow | !pastebin | 14:15 |
| ubottu | For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use https://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use https://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 14:15 |
| Tigran | Here is the link to the chunk: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/5cf8hq6JQK/ | 14:16 |
| Tigran | There are libegl1-mesa libraries there as well, so maybe it is not xorg. Xorg was just a natural thing to blame in this situation. | 14:17 |
| blackflow | Tigran: well, if you used the apport tool and filed a bug report, there'd be details for someone to look at those and maybe help. | 14:19 |
| Tigran | blackflow: thank you, but is there no way to file a bug report manually via launchpad? I think it was possible in the past? | 14:20 |
| Tigran | the only problem is, I am not sure which package to point to. | 14:21 |
| blackflow | Tigran: there is, but you'd then have to collect the logs and attach them yourself manually. | 14:21 |
| Tigran | blackflow: yes, that is fine with me. | 14:21 |
| blackflow | if you're not sure, you could report it against xorg, it can be reassigned once more detail is known. | 14:22 |
| blackflow | Tigran: meanwhile, any errors wrt graphics, display, intel, gnome or xorg, logged in the journal? | 14:23 |
| Tigran | I logged in to Ubuntu (it even shows 1 bug reported by me), but I don't see the option to create a new bug report | 14:24 |
| Tigran | blackflow: no, there were no errors, but let me check again... | 14:24 |
| blackflow | Tigran: I'd look into xorg log /var/log/Xorg.0.log too, for any (EE) entries specifically | 14:24 |
| Tigran | blackflow: yes, that's the first place I would look. I am looking at it now and see nothing special. I'll compare it to the current (working) Xorg.0.log | 14:25 |
| Tigran | oh dear, practically every line is different because of different probing, timings etc | 14:26 |
| blackflow | Tigran: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug/?no-redirect | 14:26 |
| Tigran | but no errors or warnings even. | 14:26 |
| Tigran | blackflow: thank you, brother, that link worked! :) | 14:27 |
| blackflow | Tigran: it's listed under "Filing Bugs Manually" here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs | 14:27 |
| blackflow | Anyway, this could be one of those glitches where no error is logged. Eg, around the time of 16.04 and 16.10, gnome had this glitch with artifacts around window borders with nvidia drivers. | 14:29 |
| blackflow | Tigran: which kernel are you using there? | 14:29 |
| Tigran | blackflow: .15.0-24-generic #26~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jun 15 14:35:08 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 14:29 |
| Tigran | I meant 4.15.0-24-generic #26~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jun 15 14:35:08 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 14:29 |

| Tigran | blackflow: thank you for your help. | 14:43 |
| Tigran | blackflow: I will explore the possibility of upgrade to 18.04 but usually it is a big hassle as I have to check if all the software I use is still working fine. | 14:44 |

| jocic | Hey guys, I was wondering if it's possible for me to up-scale my screen resolution to 4k (on a 1080p monitor) so I can make 4k screencasts? | 14:45 |
| jocic | I'm aware that Nvidia's dynamic super resolution isn't supported, but you know. | 14:46 |
| blackflow | jocic: you can't go 4k on a non-4k monitor | 14:47 |
| jocic | blackflow: bah, so I have to invest 300$ and get a 4k monitor. :( | 14:47 |
| genii | You can actually set any arbitrary resolution larger than your actual one, but you will only ever see a portion of it on your actual screen, it will scroll when you hit a screen edge | 14:48 |
| Tigran | jocic: indeed, you can't do that, but perhaps you can capture it via ffmpeg as FHD and then resample it to 4k? | 14:48 |
| tonyyarusso | jocic: I have no idea how to do it, but one *maybe* tactic I could think of would be somehow convincing your system that you have a *second* monitor attached, and *that* one is 4k, and mirror the content. If you pushed 4k to your actual monitor I'd guess it would either be just black or cropped like genii said, so you couldn't actually work, but you might be able to have 4k on the phantom | 14:49 |
| tonyyarusso | monitor and downsample it to your real one to work? | 14:49 |
| jocic | I tried executing the following "xrandr --output eDP-1-1 --scale 4x4" and it kind of works but as you said - only a portion of the screen is visible. | 14:49 |
| jocic | tonyyarusso: it would require some coding, but it may actually work. | 14:50 |
| algid | anyone know how i can get Terminator to open in a secondary display instead of the primary one? | 14:54 |

| timeless | can someone point me to the proper way that vendors should handle package versions so that a user can migrate from xenial to artful/bionic? https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/CI5o26dm/ | 15:07 |
| leftyfb | timeless: that package/repo should be removed before upgrading. Then reinstalled | 15:08 |
| timeless | leftyfb: but, couldn't the vendor just do something so that an upgrade could happen naturally? | 15:09 |
| leftyfb | timeless: yeah, include their packages in the official ubuntu repo's | 15:09 |
| blackflow | or even better, provide a snap! | 15:10 |

| Umeaboy | Wow! I managed to get a crash with the stable version of Firefox in Ubuntu 18.04. | 15:13 |
| Umeaboy | I even got a backtrace. | 15:13 |
| Umeaboy | https://hastebin.com/bebuxupiso.go | 15:13 |
| compdoc | I heard there was a bug in firefox recently | 15:13 |
| Umeaboy | I get high cpu usage every now and then. | 15:14 |
| blackflow | Umeaboy: yeah, same here (cpu) | 15:14 |
| blackflow | Umeaboy: do you use a ton of extensions you can blame for the crash? | 15:15 |
| Umeaboy | Just 3. | 15:15 |
| Umeaboy | 59.0 works just fine. | 15:15 |
| Umeaboy | Adding sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-next to see if the problem is solved upstream. | 15:16 |
| timeless | Umeaboy: fwiw, you're crashing in nss (the crypto library) | 15:16 |
| timeless | it would be vaguely helpful to know what the crash signal was, and to have a sense of what the memory and instruction looked like | 15:17 |
| brx_ | what software do youtube debate channels use? | 15:17 |
| brx_ | for example they have like split screen with the 2 debators in a square on the screen | 15:17 |
| Umeaboy | That's created on their side of the screen I think. | 15:18 |
| Umeaboy | Youtube just broadcasts it. | 15:18 |
| brx_ | i know | 15:18 |
| brx_ | just wondering what they use | 15:18 |
| brx_ | i think they build the video and then broadcast it to yt with OBS | 15:18 |
| brx_ | so its the step prior to obs that im interested in | 15:18 |
| Umeaboy | Open Build System? | 15:18 |
| Umeaboy | Wow! | 15:18 |
| brx_ | no | 15:18 |
| brx_ | its erm | 15:19 |
| JimBuntu | brx_, could be a variety of software... from the commandline, gstreamer can do this, for example. | 15:19 |
| brx_ | "open broadcast software" | 15:19 |
| timeless | (also, you should be able to figure out what server you're talking to -- lsof would work, although you can puzzle it out from the variables) | 15:19 |
| Umeaboy | I seem to get high cpu usage on pages with a lot of clips. | 15:19 |
| brx_ | JimBuntu, can gstreamer actually do the processing, i.e dividing up the screen and watermark etc | 15:19 |
| Umeaboy | If I just normally browse the web everything is fine. | 15:19 |
| JimBuntu | brx_, it sure can | 15:21 |
| Umeaboy | timeless: Here's what's before I ran bt full: https://hastebin.com/oyokuhuzag.go | 15:21 |
| Umeaboy | When the crash happened. | 15:21 |
| Umeaboy | Does that help? | 15:21 |
| timeless | Umeaboy: hmm... | 15:22 |
| timeless | that's what i was looking for | 15:22 |
| JimBuntu | brx_, You may also want to check out webcamStudio | 15:22 |
| timeless | but, um... i wouldn't expect sigpipe to be fatal | 15:22 |
| timeless | (i mean, it can be, but i would expect firefox/nss to not treat it that way) | 15:22 |
| brx_ | thanks JimBuntu | 15:22 |
| Umeaboy | I wish that every distro would have like a seperate iso to use with newer computers to gather information to the developers so that they know what hardware to write the system for. | 15:23 |
| Umeaboy | Just like Mandriva used to have a form in the installer. | 15:23 |
| Umeaboy | With that, you sent in everything that happened during the installation, good or bad. | 15:23 |
| Umeaboy | I want to take a step further though. | 15:24 |
| Umeaboy | To have tests made, to check what settings work and what doesn't. | 15:24 |
| programings | hi, anybody having problems with incorrectly displayed icons in mate-panel after the last mesa update on Ubuntu with Mate desktop? | 15:24 |
| Umeaboy | For instance..... I couldn't boot the installation for 18.04, but 17.10 worked just fine | 15:25 |
| Tigran | Umeaboy: I am preparing a usb boot disk with 18.04, we'll see if it boots soon... | 15:26 |
| timeless | Umeaboy: did you attach a debugger because something was going wrong? | 15:27 |
| timeless | or did it crash and offer to attach a debugger when it crashed? | 15:27 |
| timeless | sometimes (often) people will have a crash, and then try running w/ a debugger, and not realize that they need to `continue` past certain signals (which are in fact handled by the program) | 15:28 |
| Umeaboy | I ran firefox --debug and it offered me to use gdb. | 15:30 |
| timeless | ok, let's assume when you get `sigpipe` that you haven't hit the crash, just use `c` | 15:30 |
| Umeaboy | Hmmmmmmmmm. Upgrading to the newer Firefox version disabled all my addons. | 15:32 |
| kunji | My time is a few minutes out of sync on my host. systemd-timesyncd fails with: ConditionFileIsExecutable=!/usr/sbin/VBoxService was not met So I think that it assumes the VBoxService will handle the time sync.

| kunji | Well... I temporarily remove the executable bit from /usr/sbin/VBoxService , restarted the timesyncd service (so time synced), then added the bit again, but it isn't a permanent solution as time will eventually drift again. I'm leaving the IRC chat for now though. | 16:01 |

| pragmaticenigma | Angrygermankids: I would suggest updating your post on askubuntu, with system specifications, what action you last performed prior to experiencing the issue, and what you have tried so far. You need to provide a lot more information upfront for anyone to help you. | 17:46 |
| pragmaticenigma | Angrygermankids: If you upgraded from 16.04 to 18.04, there is no official upgrade yet, and forcing it will leave the system in a buggy state. | 17:47 |

| RDaneel01ivaw | hello everyone, I'm having some difficulties with mounting my internal ntfs drives, wondering if anyone could help. I've been through many help topics on the ubuntu support forums, and many suggested to edit the fstab, which I've done, and added the proper device, but the drives are mounting read only. When I try to change the permissions by right clicking on them, it says they are owned by Root and I can't make any changes | 18:09 |
| bngsudheer | Hello. I get the error: https://pastebin.com/2Vj5DA4y this is on Ubuntu 16.04. How can I fix this? | 18:11 |
| bngsudheer | RDaneel01ivaw, what is the exact fstab line? | 18:11 |
| RDaneel01ivaw | UUID=AC9424319423FC88/media/Media1ntfsdefaults,nls=utf8,umask=022200 | 18:12 |
| RDaneel01ivaw | I'm on 18.04 if that helps. I have that line for both my media internal drives | 18:12 |
| leftyfb | RDaneel01ivaw: if you mount them manually, are the r/w? | 18:13 |
| pragmaticenigma | RDaneel01ivaw: You are on the right track for mounting NTFS volumes. By default, drives listed in fstab are mount in read-only state. To enable read-write, there is a parameter you need to specify. Can you pastebin your fstab file? and paste the link here | 18:13 |
| Angrygermankids | Does anyone know the solution for my dummy output at https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2395710 | 18:14 |
| RDaneel01ivaw | They are mounting at boot, which is happening because of these entries in fstab correct? I'm not sure how to un-mount them and manually re-mount them...? I will create that paste right now, one sec | 18:14 |
| RDaneel01ivaw | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/X3TshZy88B/ | 18:14 |
| Angrygermankids | I'll give you information if you need it | 18:15 |
| pragmaticenigma | RDaneel01ivaw: It's the options being specified... specifically "defaults"... trying to look up the correct parameters | 18:16 |
| Bashing-om | RDaneel01ivaw: This too may be of interest : http://askubuntu.com/questions/113733/how-do-i-correctly-mount-a-ntfs-partition-in-etc-fstab . | 18:17 |
| RDaneel01ivaw | gotcha. thank you so much! I followed a forum post to do that before | 18:17 |
| ioria | RDaneel01ivaw, there was a bug time ago; try 'killall nautilus' and reopen | 18:18 |
| pragmaticenigma | ioria: Doesn't that apply when the drives are manually mounted after boot? | 18:18 |
| ioria | not that i know | 18:19 |
| RDaneel01ivaw | hmmmm, I read that askubuntu link, thanks for that... I couldn't find that before (theres SO much conflicting info on askubuntu for this topic) - and it says to use these paramaters: | 18:20 |
| RDaneel01ivaw | uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=027,fmask=137 | 18:20 |
| ioria | RDaneel01ivaw, there was a bug time ago; try 'killall nautilus' and reopen | 18:20 |

| ioria | ok | 18:22 |
| pragmaticenigma | bngsudheer: Without knowing what you did prior to receiving that libcrypto error, there is little we can do to help. | 18:23 |
| Exterminador | well. I need some alternative to gparted (command line if possible). gparted is taking centuries to detect the partitions | 18:23 |
| pragmaticenigma | how large are the drives being analyzed Exterminador ? | 18:24 |
| Exterminador | the drive is just 500Gb | 18:25 |
| knittl | hi. what defines the maximum number on threads on the system? I have checked ulimit for my user (95633 process) and sysctl kernel.max_pid (default 32768). however, when running a userspace programm that does nothing except allocating threads, after 10.000 threads, it fails with out-of-memory (and processes running in another terminal also fail with fork: resource temporarily unavailable". RAM should be plenty (free -g shows 8G free, 11G available). what | 18:25 |
| Exterminador | gparted is in search mode for the last 10 mins or so | 18:25 |
| Angrygermankids | Do you have any fixes for my sound | 18:26 |
| RDaneel01ivaw | this page: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=283131 says the following: # NTFS ~ Use ntfs-3g for write access (rw) --- so maybe I just need to edit my devices to be "ntfs-3g" instead of just "ntfs" ... you think? | 18:30 |
| Exterminador | I know my laptop is old, but this is taking more time that I'd expect. hence I'm trying to find a way (via command line) to shrink /dev/sda7 from 195GiB to 80GiB | 18:31 |
| RDaneel01ivaw | buth then I'm also unsure about the options, the default says it's rw, but then I don't know what that umask option does. | 18:31 |
| pragmaticenigma | Exterminador: what is slow though? getting the cd to boot or to analyze the disks? | 18:34 |
| hfp | If I want to change my server's rootfs to be zfs, am I better off reinstalling or is there a way to migrate the installation? | 18:35 |
| hfp | i.e. prepare a new drive with zfs and `cp --archive` or something like that | 18:35 |
| ioria | RDaneel01ivaw, 1) can you paste 'mount' ? 2) ntfs-3g is installed ? 3) have you tried to umount and remount the partition ? you'll get more infos | 18:35 |
| oerheks | hfp, root and zfs, join the zfs channel https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/wiki/Ubuntu-16.04-Root-on-ZFS | 18:36 |
| pragmaticenigma | hfp: You cannot change the filesystem of partition without loss of data. You will need to back up your files first and then format the drive to the new filesystem... then copy files back. If this is your boot partition, things trickier | 18:36 |
| RDaneel01ivaw | ntfs-3g is installed yes | 18:37 |

| mforce | hi guys just joined the room, I am kind of new to linux and need some help with an issue I am having with an image based off ubuntu | 18:37 |
| mforce | my xserver is not loading | 18:37 |
| RDaneel01ivaw | not sure how to unmount and remount the drives after they are mounted by fstab, looking that up now | 18:37 |
| mforce | this images is for a miner with GPUs | 18:38 |
| mforce | I found some logs on the xorg log file it says this: | 18:38 |
| mforce | https://paste.gnome.org/pyehqyfv7 | 18:38 |
| oerheks | mforce, 'based off ubuntu' what does that mean? | 18:39 |
| mforce | it was working good yesterday, but then I installed brave browser deb pkg and after reboot I could no longer login to xserver | 18:39 |
| Exterminador | pragmaticenigma: to analyse the disks. it's taking ages. I think I'll search for resize the partition (it's a fat32 one) in command line | 18:40 |
| ioria | RDaneel01ivaw, according to fstab, sudo umount /media/Media1 and sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb2 | 18:40 |
| mforce | I guess it means they used a trimmed down base ubuntu image and made some changes to it | 18:40 |
| ti1Chohc | How can I watch n last lines of stdout of some command? I know I can redirect the stdout to a file and then run "watch tail" on it, but is there a way to do that with pipes? | 18:41 |
| hfp | pragmaticenigma: that's how I wanted to do it, setup a new drive with zfs and copy the old drive over to the new one | 18:41 |
| hfp | oerheks: #zfs or #zfsonlinux? | 18:41 |
| oerheks | #zfsonlinux i guess | 18:42 |

| RDaneel01ivaw | here's the paste - https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/3cJMsMkK5N/ | 18:43 |
| RDaneel01ivaw | if you look at line 51 and 52 | 18:43 |
| ioria | RDaneel01ivaw, it's rw | 18:43 |
| RDaneel01ivaw | that's what it says, but I can't write to it | 18:44 |

| ioria | RDaneel01ivaw, user_id=0,group_id=0 | 18:44 |
| oerheks | so why did you install a browser on a miner server? | 18:44 |

| ioria | RDaneel01ivaw, and sudo touch test_file | 18:45 |
| ioria | RDaneel01ivaw, with sudo | 18:46 |
| RDaneel01ivaw | hmmm, that worked! | 18:46 |
| RDaneel01ivaw | I have a testfile now | 18:46 |
| ioria | RDaneel01ivaw, sudo rm tes_file ; it's not read only, you just not have the permissions | 18:47 |
| ioria | don't | 18:47 |
| RDaneel01ivaw | ah, gotcha, okay, so it IS mounted correctly? | 18:47 |
| RDaneel01ivaw | sorry for the confusion, I'm still learning all of this :) | 18:47 |
| ioria | RDaneel01ivaw, yes, but with the wrong permissions | 18:48 |
| ioria | RDaneel01ivaw, you need uid=1000,gid=1000 in fstab or sudo chown -R /media/Media1 | 18:50 |
| ioria | RDaneel01ivaw, sudo chown -R myuser:myuser /media/Media1 | 18:50 |

| oerheks | coconut, there is .. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CdDvd/Burning#Blu-Ray_Burning | 18:56 |
| RDaneel01ivaw | yes, I think it needs to be mounted with "permissions" flag for those kinds of commands to work, which mine is not | 18:57 |

| Tigran | I take back my question about workspaces on multiple monitors --- I have figured out how to enable them (just install gome-tweak and it allows you to do this). | 19:07 |
| oerheks | Angrygermankids, i just read back, does you bios have an option Azalea snd/ AC'97 simulation ? often the ac'97 setting works perfectly, but just 2.1 | 19:08 |
| Tigran | So far only Adobe Acrobat Reader is not working on Ubuntu 18.04 (but I haven't tested printing yet). The critical applications like XeLaTeX and Wolfram Mathematica 11.3 seem to be working just fine. | 19:08 |
| compdoc | Angrygermankids, many forums suggest removing the sound related software and reinstalling. its just a few simple commmands. But your sound should have been setup during install. if you can boot ubuntu live and it works, and removing/installing doesnt work, try reinstalling from scratch. I would do test installs on a different drive until you get it right | 19:09 |

| Angrygermankids | Yes burt only for front panel | 19:12 |
| Tigran | As my printer is LaserJet Pro M102a and by default Ubuntu installs the driver for M101-M106 which doesn't work, but HP's original thingie installs the right driver. So I guess I have to do the same for Ubuntu 18.04... | 19:13 |
| oerheks | <Angrygermankids> Yes burt only for front panel .. oh, that information is new | 19:14 |

| biessiee | the main website works.. just the subfolder does not | 19:17 |

| ioria | Angrygermankids, it's not via it's amd | 19:21 |
| Exterminador | pragmaticenigma: it's probably failing since 2016 :x thanks to EriC^^ I've zeroed the drive once and then it kept working xD waiting for 2nd hand laptop that someone is sending me soon | 19:22 |
| pragmaticenigma | Exterminador: I'd wait out that new drive if you can. Risk of data corruption is higher than I'd be comfortable with | 19:23 |
| Angrygermankids | Fixed it | 19:23 |
| pragmaticenigma | Angrygermankids: Congrats! If you could, please document how you did it on your forum posting on askubuntu. That way it will help the next person :-) | 19:24 |

| eden | I'm having an odd issue where my /etc/rc.local doesn't seem to be executing my command. I have the following (sleep 20 su myuser -c 'google-chrome http://localhost:3000') | 20:23 |
| eden | I can bash it and it works | 20:23 |
| eden | but rebooting/booting does nothing | 20:23 |
| EriC^^ | eden: rc.local runs by root way before your desktop starts | 20:25 |
| EriC^^ | eden: try 'startup apps' from your user's desktop | 20:25 |
| eden | EriC thats probably it, this is for a production application, I would prefer to do everything with scripts and not mess with startup apps | 20:26 |
| qwebirc32442 | My Ubuntu doesnt start any more (blue screen). Recovery mode works, but I cant figure out how to establish network to reinstall. | 20:26 |
| EriC^^ | eden: startup apps is sort of a "script" you can manually add a .desktop file, look at ~/.config/autostart | 20:26 |
| qwebirc32442 | If I start "Enable network", it gets to "Reached target Swap" and stops. I dont knoe what to do next. | 20:26 |

| Zexaron | hey I got a problematic HDD it's the dreaded 3TB from Western Digital that have high failure rates, i misordered I meant to order the 4TB one | 20:35 |
| eden | .desktop will be run as my user that I log in with right? | 20:37 |

| eden | Eric: thanks going to test it now brb | 20:37 |
| Geo | Hi, using openvpn, how would I set up a VPN server at location A that serves as the gateway into a LAN located at location B? ie, connecting to A's IP address, and once negotiated it puts me into the LAN behind B's address | 20:40 |
| Zexaron | Anyone want to look at this SMART data, this HDD was freezing my whole windows up, had to hard reboot, it's NTFS and GPT, but I'm on linux mint now and got this smart data, d and ordered the stupid 3TB instead of 4TB | 20:40 |
| Zexaron | https://pastebin.com/2rNXsm93 | 20:41 |
| compdoc | Zexaron, looks fine | 20:41 |
| compdoc | you should run some smart tests on it | 20:42 |
| hfp | Fun times! I disabled and masked systemd-networkd-wait-online service because it was hanging my 17.10 server's boot for 2 minutes every time. It booted faster, but no network anymore. So I tried unmasking it and re-enabling it, reboot: still no network. Any ideas? https://dpaste.de/PQuC | 20:46 |
| hfp | (the dpaste are the commands I used to disable and re-enable, plus excerpts from the service's status) | 20:47 |
| taliptako | i bought a new 14 inch laptop with 1920 1080px screen | 20:48 |
| taliptako | i cant see texts clearly they so little for me | 20:48 |
| Zexaron | compdoc: well DMA_CRC_Error_Count is a bit different from an age old one which zas none of them | 20:49 |
| Zexaron | the linux mint I'm on right now is on a very old seagate barracuda 320GB from 2006 | 20:50 |
| Zexaron | it does have some errors too yes but keeps working for many months now, true that EXT4 is more robust than NTFS but that probably doesn't matter with deep drive errors | 20:51 |
| compdoc | Zexaron, Ive purchased about 20 wd red drives over teh years since they first started selling them, and none of them have failed | 20:51 |
| compdoc | I dont see anything in that smart that says its bad | 20:51 |
| === qwebirc79922 is now known as nut | ||
| grkblood13 | im not sure if some update just came out but I use autologin on my settop build running xubuntu, today it started going to a black screen after bootup. | 20:53 |
| compdoc | Zexaron, those 4 ATA errors are about a problem when the drive was sent the standby command, and the others are about drive cache. sounds like the os or drive doesnt like going into standby | 20:53 |
| === dewwii is now known as deww | ||
| compdoc | have you ever changed the cache settings? | 20:54 |
| compdoc | a bad power supply is more likely | 20:55 |
| xodiak | hello. | 20:55 |
| xodiak | Cool Ubunu / linux apps to pass time on another screen while killing an hour at work? I usually like having HexChat open and just watching the text scroll through. | 20:56 |
| xodiak | Trying out KDE-Neon atm/ | 20:56 |
| === nut is now known as nutsicle | ||
| Zexaron | compdoc: yeah I'm not a fan of standby either but I don't remember using it at the time, I think I did maybe a few times but not sure | 20:59 |
| Zexaron | it's definitely a rarity that I use standby, I'm aware of the unreliability of that feature on windows | 20:59 |
| Zexaron | If that's the solution it would be easy to adapt to it, but I think it was Win7, I'm now I got more into Win10 (heavily tweaked tho :P), but actually I've expanted to multiple OSes (on separate disks, ubuntu, mint, win10, win7), but I don't really need to use standby | 21:01 |
| Zexaron | Well as long as it's readabale so I can save data I'm not that concerned, I will then play with it once data is secure and figure out more | 21:02 |
| Zexaron | It did kinda froze the OS when I started writing files, transferring some stuff | 21:02 |
| Zexaron | compdoc: in the middle of the transfer, I remember now, it froze the OS, I think it was Win7 yes | 21:03 |
| compdoc | Zexaron, I used to test new systems by transferring large files. if you have bad ram, then it can show up there | 21:05 |
| compdoc | still could be the PSU | 21:05 |
| === nutsicle is now known as nuts | ||
| Zexaron | compdoc: indeed I have identified a bad PSU, a ton of things happened recently, many failures, I replaced with more powerful PSU, not sure if you're aware but yes I had problems with HDDs booting/detecting and running well, weird symptoms of slow 5 minute boots | 21:08 |
| compdoc | Zexaron, how old is the system? | 21:08 |
| === qwebirc71416 is now known as nuts | ||
| Zexaron | compdoc: it's not over yet, I got BSODs on the fresh Win10 just days ago, with the new PSU and only 4 HDDs connected in the past month, it was a hard bsod it says CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED and no writing of dump was possible, after a reboot the Win10 SSD wasn't recognized, until anothrer hard repower | 21:11 |
| Zexaron | This WDRED30 was not connected for 2 months | 21:11 |
| Zexaron | I didn't had time to fix it | 21:11 |
| Zexaron | compdoc early 2013 | 21:13 |
| Zexaron | https://pastebin.com/P6cEj7pn | 21:13 |
| Zexaron | tests show no erorrs, I think I did the extended test through windows tools, I think I had WD diagnostics tool on that Win7 (which I don't, anymore, I have a new Win7 install and a new Win10 on newer SSDs) | 21:14 |
| Zexaron | so the extended test was from earlier, I did the conveyance and short test today and shows no errors | 21:14 |
| algid | anyone know how i can get Terminator to open in a secondary display instead of the primary one? | 21:15 |
| Zexaron | I'm suspecting there's some coincidential things happening at the same time, this Win10 BSODs which look awfully like a SSD failure or something, they started happening more faster after boot, once after 2 hrs, then after 30 mins, then afert 15 mins, then after 5 mins | 21:15 |
| Angrygermankids | Can I have help with my sound problem | 21:17 |
| Angrygermankids | I only have dummy output | 21:17 |
| _KaszpiR_ | Zexaron this smells like some firmware issue - see if your disk vendor released any firmware to ssd | 21:18 |
| compdoc | Zexaron, I bet the mainboard has bad capacitors | 21:18 |
| _KaszpiR_ | Zexaron on emore thing, try with different sata cable (yeah really) | 21:19 |
| binary_hamster | how do i fix a broken package system in ubuntu? | 21:20 |
| Zexaron | compdoc: indeed, right on the sata controller or that sata port, it doesn't happen when I boot to ubuntu which is on another SSD (older one which used to have the old Win7) | 21:21 |
| lotuspsychje | binary_hamster: can you give us some more details plz? | 21:21 |
| _KaszpiR_ | Zexaron one more thing, replace battery on the motherboard (seen really funky shit due to the old batteries) | 21:21 |
| compdoc | Zexaron, sounds like its time for a modern computer, and keep that WD | 21:22 |
| binary_hamster | i was trying to download a game on ubuntu and a dialog box popped up saying my package system is broken. | 21:22 |
| _KaszpiR_ | memory errors *usually* end quickly with bsod | 21:22 |
| lotuspsychje | binary_hamster: wich game on wich ubuntu version? downloaded from where? | 21:23 |
| Zexaron | _KaszpiR_,compdoc: yeah I did ask about that before and those were the suggestions, I have 3 SSDs, PORT1: Samsung 860 EVO 250GB, PORT2: Samsung 840 PRO 128GB (old win7, now ubuntu), DISONNECTED: Samsung 850 EVO 250GB (pending fresh win7 install) | 21:23 |
| _KaszpiR_ | otherwise dying capacitors, maybe bumping voltages a notch or two for IOH on the mobo could help | 21:23 |
| Oyeaitsme | Hey team, would anyone know of a Discord add-on allowing for End-to-End encryption? If not, is there another chan that might? Thanks in advance! | 21:23 |
| _KaszpiR_ | Oyeaitsme Discord does not support that | 21:24 |
| Zexaron | compdoc,_KaszpiR_: I used the empty 850 EVO to clone the image of the 860 EVO Win10 and I'll keep all new testing with that one, that should rule out drive failure, or at least help right? | 21:24 |
| binary_hamster | lotuspsychje:Extreme tux racer from software boutique | 21:24 |
| leftyfb | Oyeaitsme: try #freenode for non-Ubuntu questions | 21:24 |
| Oyeaitsme | leftyfb: gotcha. sorry about that! | 21:24 |
| Oyeaitsme | _KaszpiR_: that's what I feared. Is there a comparable alternative that might accomplish same thing? | 21:24 |
| Zexaron | compdoc,_KaszpiR_: I did 2 backup images with clonezilla today, one with partclone and one in DD mode, i used the DD mode image in this case | 21:25 |
| _KaszpiR_ | Oyeaitsme not aware of, sorry | 21:25 |
| _KaszpiR_ | maybe just change medium to exchange sensitive information | 21:25 |
| binary_hamster | loutuspsychje:also on ubuntu mate xenial (not sure if spelled right) | 21:25 |
| Zexaron | _KaszpiR_: wouldn't mem error show up on Ubuntu too ? | 21:25 |
| _KaszpiR_ | like telegram or rocket.chat has something like OTR | 21:25 |
| Oyeaitsme | _KaszpiR_: that makes sense. Thanks for answering! I'll go ahead and ask around in #freenode. :) | 21:26 |
| _KaszpiR_ | Zexaron it would and probably end with kernel panic (just as bsod under windows) | 21:26 |
| lotuspsychje | binary_hamster: what kind of error you getting? | 21:26 |
| _KaszpiR_ | unless you have ECC mem, then you can recover certain errors | 21:26 |
| Zexaron | _KaszpiR_: I think I did once already, not remember, but I'm sure I checked with voltmeter, however I'll check again indeed | 21:27 |
| Zexaron | no ECC | 21:27 |
| binary_hamster | lutuspsychje: (exact text): The package system is broken | 21:27 |
| binary_hamster | Check if you are using third party repositories. If so disable them, since they are a common source of problems. | 21:27 |
| binary_hamster | Furthermore run the following command in a Terminal: apt-get install -f(tried that, didnt work) | 21:27 |
| _KaszpiR_ | Zexaron remove dust from computer, replace battery, squeeze a bit bios chip (if it is on the replacable chip on the socket on mobo, then sometimes the connection dies and it is worth to remove and place it back), move cables, replace some cables (idk but quite a lot I had issue with sata cables dying after some time | 21:28 |
| Zexaron | compdoc,_Kaszpir_: how would I check for bad caps, do I need elextrician? I can ofcourse research, but these are japanese ones, or do they also look different? | 21:29 |
| _KaszpiR_ | like if sata cables were oxidating or something | 21:29 |
| lotuspsychje | binary_hamster: we dont support external ppa's here, check your sources.list to see if you still have some enabled | 21:29 |
| lotuspsychje | !ppapurge | binary_hamster | 21:29 |
| ubottu | binary_hamster: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 21:29 |
| _KaszpiR_ | bad caps usually are easily spotted - they are bulged | 21:29 |
| binary_hamster | Thanks o | 21:30 |
| Zexaron | Well I do keep it pretty clean as I have industrial pressure air just around corner, it's practically dust free, and it was recently I did major cabling maintenance | 21:30 |
| binary_hamster | lotuspsychje: thanks will do | 21:30 |
| Zexaron | But yeah, I just did reconnections, rerouting, new psu, etc, not actually replacing any of the sata cables | 21:30 |
| _KaszpiR_ | http://www.robotroom.com/Parts/Samsung-monitor-capacitors/Spot-the-bad-capacitors.jpg like that, they should be flat | 21:30 |
| _KaszpiR_ | http://embedonix.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/good_bad_ugly_capacitors.jpg | 21:30 |
| Zexaron | KaszpiR_: including the japanese caps? | 21:31 |
| _KaszpiR_ | that depends on the moterhboard | 21:31 |
| Zexaron | or whatever they are, they aren't the usual ones, they're all small | 21:31 |
| _KaszpiR_ | and how well ventilated it was | 21:31 |
| _KaszpiR_ | some caps will look good, unfortunately | 21:31 |
| Zexaron | it is well wentilated, absolutely | 21:31 |
| _KaszpiR_ | recently I had more issues due to dust than anything else | 21:32 |
| _KaszpiR_ | unfortunaltely one of myu mobos really loves to get mental if there is slight amout of dust in certain areas : | 21:32 |
| _KaszpiR_ | :/ | 21:32 |
| Zexaron | well, i'll see what i can do with this cloned image to a different SSD, different port and different sata data cable | 21:33 |
| Zexaron | and also I'll disconnect all other disks too | 21:33 |
| Zexaron | it's late now I have go soon, i'll keep the caps in mind etc | 21:34 |
| _KaszpiR_ | otherwise I had one or two issues with ssd disks and firmware (like disks ended to be bricks) but firmware fixed (and some voodoo to bring them back to life to update firmware) | 21:34 |
| _KaszpiR_ | btw | 21:34 |
| _KaszpiR_ | thermal paste on cpu, and on chipsets | 21:34 |
| Zexaron | ofcourse, now that i have backups, i can do firmware, i was afraid they wouldn't work for read-only | 21:34 |
| Zexaron | they* it | 21:34 |
| Zexaron | allright, thanks guys, later | 21:35 |

| _KaszpiR_ | I remember once having mobo which had rock stone solid thermal paste on the nort/south bridge (cant remember) and it ended in a weird freezes cause the chipset was getting sometimes too much temperature because it could not transfer it to the heat spreader | 21:35 |

| gigirock | hello | 23:13 |
| tomreyn | Angrygermankids: hmm, i'm not sure what else to try really. newer alsa should not help, since apparently there are people who had it working (more or less) on older linux versions. there are 2 newer (mainboard) bios versions than the one you have, https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M4A87TDUSB3/HelpDesk_Download/ , but there is no reason to assume they would improve this issue. | 23:13 |

| bn_work | hi, for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, is there a simple package for use as a Certificate Authority (CA) server? | 23:18 |
| bn_work | (was looking around in `apt search ca | grep -2 " CA "` and `apt search pki` but not finding much) | 23:19 |
| GrandPa-G | This is actually on Raspberry, but hope someone here knows the issue. I have StandardOutput=file:/home/pi/web.log in service file. systemd version = 232. I get error on boot Jul 6 13:22:36 raspberrypi systemd[1]: [/etc/systemd/system/web.service:13] Failed to parse output specifier, ignoring: file:/home/pi/web.log | 23:20 |
| tomreyn | bn_work: can you discuss what a 'CA server' is from your point of view, since this term can be ambiguous. | 23:21 |
| bn_work | tomreyn: just an app that can sign certificates for other servers (doesn't need to be web-based, can be CLI), not sure if OCSP/CRL services would be needed yet, would openssl suffice to do that? | 23:24 |
| tomreyn | bn_work: yes, if it can be manual. there is also tinyca as a frontend | 23:25 |
| psichas | who could help me do links with systemd? :) | 23:27 |
| bn_work | tomreyn: thanks! do you know if it supports / exports to .JKS too? | 23:28 |
| tomreyn | bn_work: i don't, i'm not even sure whether openssl would. openssl can export to pkcs12, though, and java's keytool can import that to a keystore. | 23:30 |
| tomreyn | bn_work: also check "xca" as an alternative to tinyca. it is newer, with ongoing development (tinyca is basically dead). | 23:32 |
| bn_work | tomreyn: thanks, yeah, was just looking at that too... although I'm still not sure what the process would be to generate a CA cert and then sign other certs via just `openssl` CLI | 23:33 |
| tomreyn | bn_work: http://pki-tutorial.readthedocs.io/en/latest/simple/ | 23:34 |
| tomreyn | bn_work: it's probably best to work with two computers or at least two terminals, one acting as the CA (and possibly intermediate CA), the other as the average client wanting their certificate signed. | 23:38 |
| bn_work | tomreyn: thanks! yeah, that's my exact scenario anyway, I have one machine I want to make the rootCA and the other as the client (server) whose CSR I want signed | 23:39 |
| bn_work | s/CSR/certificate/ | 23:39 |
| tomreyn | bn_work: do it once first, taking notes / documenting the process on each end (you'll tear your hair anyways), then reinstall + harden the CA system, and redo it from scratch. | 23:41 |
| tomreyn | if this is going to be serious you'll want to buy some form of HSM | 23:41 |
| bn_work | HSM? | 23:41 |
| tomreyn | hardware security module, a generic term for different types of devices https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_security_module | 23:42 |
| b-04 | hi to all! | 23:43 |
| b-04 | what is the best RDP client for ubuntu? | 23:43 |
| tomreyn | bn_work: cacert.org is a non-commercial CA, and so is letsencrypt. both have produced a lot of documentation, including policy documents, you should review some of them at some point. | 23:43 |
| tomreyn | bn_work: you'll come across many 3 letter acronyms such as 'CSP' (certificate signing policy) there, but also hints on how to harden (both technically and organizationally) your CA. we're way OT here now, feel free to ask me mor ein #ubuntu-offtopic | 23:45 |
| tomreyn | b-04: freerdp IIRC. there is also rdesktop, and several frontends. | 23:46 |
| b-04 | thanks tomreyn !! :=) | 23:46 |
| === larry is now known as Guest94215 | ||
| tomreyn | welcome. and be sure to decive for yourself what's "the best", since only you can ;) | 23:47 |
| b-04 | Last inquiry, I have a vnc server on ubuntu desktop. Is it possible to connect two different pcs in two different sessions or desktops in that ubuntu? | 23:47 |
| tomreyn | *decide | 23:47 |
| tomreyn | b-04: i think you'd need the -alwaysshared option to tighvnc's Xvnc for this | 23:52 |
| tomreyn | (and remove -nevershared if set) | 23:53 |
| b-04 | excelent! i go to try :) thanks tomreyn !! | 23:53 |
| tomreyn | b-04: also consider x2go instead of vnc, and don't mix up vnc and rdp ;) | 23:54 |
