[00:00] hello all [00:01] I know the Intel graphics card can handle what I'm asking it do. Because when I had Win 8.1 (before the Internal HDD crashed), I had no real problems (maybe just some lagging) [00:01] Lady_Aly USB is not that fast as well, and I think you have a 5400rpm disk there ? [00:02] ok, I was thinking that the external was involved with the issue. [00:02] guiverc_d: submitted here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gst-plugins-bad1.0/+bug/1780581 [00:02] Launchpad bug 1780581 in gst-plugins-bad1.0 (Ubuntu) "h264parse is missing after install" [Undecided,New] [00:03] and that was actually going to bring to another question I have [00:03] Lady_Aly couldbe. I run multiple VM's from some shitty 1TB external USB disk but for the OS itself, I thought it was not that nice [00:05] I have recently acquired a "new" internal 500GB HDD. But before I go ahead a format it and install linux on it. I was hoping to find a way to get into the OS on it to re-install windows and have a dual boot [00:07] I got it from a friend that dismantles PC's for the precious metals. So they don't know the original owner, and therefore can't unlock the pc [00:07] Or should I just forget about the Dual boot with windows? === bhalithan1 is now known as bhalithan === robert_ is now known as Guest59153 [00:16] :) @ pedrocr [00:17] guiverc_d: it's annoying as I was in the middle of development [00:17] oh well [00:18] playing with h264 cameras will have to wait [00:31] Running Xubuntu, I'm having a few issue running a second monitor. Anyone familure with xubuntu and xfce? [00:35] I connected a pair of CP2102 USB to UART Bridge Controllers (GND<->GND, TX->RX, RX<-TX) and their USB sides into my notebook with Ubuntu trusty) and they can talk to each other via "socat -d -d GOPEN:/dev/ttyUSB0 STDIO" (and similar for ttyUSB1). the ttyUSB0 socat seems to have local echo, while the ttyUSB1 socat doesn't, so the echo probably doesn't occur inside socat itself. what else could do that? === guiverc_d is now known as guiverc [00:38] furthermore, both socats can see "echo a0 >/dev/ttyUSB0" but only the socat for USB0 can see "echo a1 >/dev/ttyUSB1" [00:50] back again (lost uplink), hope I didn't miss your answers [00:50] I also repeated the experiment with the GND line disconnected, same results. dis- and re-connected both USB adapters, still same. is there sth. reconnected them in reverse order, verified they swap their device filenames, same results; so it's probably not about the adapters being different in hardware. [00:50] Sven_vB: sounds like a question for #electronics [00:52] Mead, you sure? the echo is always on ttyUSB0, no matter which of both devices that means. [01:00] hi all === Shiva188 is now known as Shiva187 [01:09] hello, loner269 [01:10] finished a FDE install of ubuntu server 18.04 LTS via the alternative installer, but the built initramfs is missing cryptsetup. Is this a known issue? [01:11] * Sven_vB found the solution: stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 sane raw -echo [01:17] Mead, what are your issues with 2nd screen? [01:19] worked around the problem by chrooting back in and running `update-initramfs -u -k all` [01:35] I'm running 18.04 on a Dell XPS 13. I've noticed that if I click and drag up on the lock screen (as if to reveal the password entry dialogue) the lock screen will crash, unlocking the computer. I haven't found other reports of this problem. Does anyone know if this is a known issue or is it worth reporting? [02:02] how to upgrade ubuntu? [02:02] apt-get update?

[05:27] instead of that i have to just use divide [05:27] how can i use sed for this? [05:50] Help please!! I have a big problem with my bionic beaver installed about a week ago. All was fine, but now it does not want to start. when I press the start button the screen become black and after some time i see the messages. it stops at the step "Started GNOME display manager" and does not move any more. Please help me if you can.--- [05:54] newbii, if you switch to terminal (ctrl+alt+f4 or your favorite fn key), can you login? [05:55] guiverc: login prompt appears [05:55] yep - login, then `df -hi` ; does it appear normal? [05:56] but when I login it immediattely comes back to the previous screen "started Gnome" [05:56] i realize you may not use terminal; just that you get to login & have some disk space free.. login from terminal sends you back to 'started gnome?' [05:57] yes - I succeeded to type df -hi - it gives some list and then changes again to the "started gnome" [05:58] i cane try to read this list [05:58] can [05:59] `df -hi` = disk free (show in -human format, with -inodes) -- but you shouldn't throw you back to started gnome - or is that a message that just drew on your screen, if you type `df` again does the command work? [06:00] ctrl-alt-f4 gives the screen with terminal login; then typing df i recover the list, then it throws back to the "gnome started" [06:01] by the way /dev/sda1 seems to load - it is 88% now [06:01] then there is a long list of /snap/gnome [06:02] so you are being taken away from tty4 (the window you jump to with ctrl+alt+f4)?? [06:02] yes [06:03] and very quickly [06:03] (yeah I realize df gives lots of output - the only bit i was interested in was `df -h |grep home` or your home directory... it's unlikely to be the issue anyway... [06:04] 1 sec - i can try "home" if it allows [06:05] it gives nothing [06:05] okay given you can't read `dmesg` & like output from the terminal if you jump away, to try rebooting and hitting (edit) on the grub menu when you see "Ubuntu", then add the text " nomodeset " to the linux line, then press to accept & run it... see if that helps... [06:06] guiverc: I do not have grub, at least grub message do not appear when I boot [06:07] newbii, do you remember if you did anything before this issue (not just last thing you did, but anything done during that session/login)? [06:09] just realized you said "home .. gives nothing" - do you have a separate partition for your /home? [06:09] well there was smth yesterday that could be the cause. The screensaver was appearing too often (that was cutting the music playing) - I tried to put the large delay [06:10] than it said thet it was not working properly and I should stopp gmone controlling it and allow Xorg to control it [06:10] I am sorry that i do nort remember it, maybe it was just the opposite [06:10] I did it and it worked fine [06:10] screensaver did not bother me any more [06:12] newbii, you don't often see full results until you reboot (as many things run from 'cache' & thus work as deletes aren't noticed till restart)... if you did it from terminal (commands), your `history` will provide clues (of the commands you issued, eg. loading an editor 'vim' & file you edited, but not what you changed..) [06:13] I don't know enough about xorg/gnome to help sorry, but if I was you, I'd try and view your `history` to see what you did, compare with what you were supposed to do (if you followed instructions) and look for something you did wrong, or how to backout changes you made... [06:13] guiverc: I have a question: if I boot from the installation disc, but with the option "live", not "install" should I be able to work with the machine? (and maybe read the dmesg? [06:18] yep; but `dmesg` will show you the messages from the running (live) session, not your 'installed on hdd' ubuntu... the files exist though; so you can navigate to the directories (once mounted) & view logs that way [06:19] reading systemd logs (eg. journalctl) will be horrid; as they're binary & I'd not know how, but you can `view` or `cat` any text log file on your system [06:19] fccckk [06:20] no someone here? [06:20] eh anjing [06:20] gua nanya [06:20] jawab [06:20] jadi nge gas kan tuh [06:21] morning [06:21] language please TheTrobz ; and please don't spam [06:21] makanya jawab [06:21] morning too [06:21] i need help, please [06:21] let me get my fresh coffee, then I have a beginner question ;-) [06:22] !ask | TheTrobz [06:22] TheTrobz: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [06:22] i will chat u [06:23] guiverc: you mean that if I do the "live" session [06:23] I will no be able to read the error messages from the previos sessions? [06:24] sorry newbii yep. the 'live' session is how I'd look & find out what you did, and try & change it (given your termninal session was unusable)... but I'm not skilled enough to help sorry [06:24] newbii: you mount the ubuntu installation and look at /var/log/kern.log [06:24] */mnt/var/log/kern.log [06:25] newbii: what's the problem you're having? [06:26] eric - here is what I said some minutes earlier:Help please!! I have a big problem with my bionic beaver installed about a week ago. All was fine, but now it does not want to start. when I press the start button the screen become black and after some time i see the messages. it stops at the step "Started GNOME display manager" and does not move any more. Please help me if you can.---- [06:26] yes, u can chat me now [06:27] newbii: did you try using nomodeset? [06:27] no,dud [06:27] newbii: or an older kernel perhaps? [06:28] re install hahahaha [06:28] that's good try [06:29] EriC^^, newbii said earlier "well there was smth yesterday that could be the cause. The screensaver was appearing too often ... - I tried to put the large delay than it said thet it was not working properly and I should stopp gmone controlling it and allow Xorg to control it I am sorry that i do nort remember it" [06:31] maybe,its just a matter of time [06:31] hmm... [06:31] TheTrobz: do you have a support question? if you just want to chat, please do that in #ubuntu-offtopic [06:31] TheTrobz, please take it elsewhere, this is a Ubuntu Support channel, and not a chat or spam channel... [06:32] oh [06:33] guiverc: 1 sec, booting from dvd [06:33] i can help u [06:34] i ever felt [06:34] guiverc: aha [06:35] EriC^^: i challange u,dude [06:37] where am i ? -_- [06:38] so now I am at the ubuntu screen "live" [06:43] Mango: this is the ubuntu support channel, type /topic for more information [06:43] guiverc: I am now in "live" but it does not see immediately the harddisc [06:48] newbii, best if you ask generally (others know more than me). I said you'd have to `mount` it, `lsblk` should help you recognize it; not I don't use gnome & thus aren't sure how to do it via gui). I'd be tempted to `fsck` (file system check) it before mounting; very likely unnecessary === bhalithan1 is now known as bhalithan [06:54] yes mounted, and trying to see what happened [07:07] I just did an software upgrade via Ubuntu wizards which asked me to perform the library/base package upgrades etc. [07:08] Looks like post-upgrade it doesn't show me my desktop icons. [07:08] Any idea what can be causing this and how can I fix this? [07:09] Plus one more thing, I am trying to change my desktop wallpapers and it never changes! :( [07:09] guiverc: just to tell where I am. I mounted the hard disc from "live" everything seems alive. Trying to get the error messages. Any idea how to do it? [07:16] how do I install Ubuntu on an early 2nd gen Mac Mini (Macmini1,1)? I found this, but there is no installation instructions on the page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mac_mini [07:17] Why on earth change the OS!? [07:17] hello [07:21] can it be done or can't it? [07:22] IF I try to boot the mac mini with a Ubuntu 32-bit 16.04.4 install DVD, it just says "Failed to load ldlinux.c32" [07:24] use the 64bit/mac version [07:26] newbii, your commands will be in ~/.bash_history (where ~ is your home directory; not your 'live' home, but /home/$USER)... logs are found in /var/log [07:26] Ben64, this mac isn't 64-bit. It has 1.5 GHz Intel Core Solo [07:26] BlackDalek: does that machine have a 32-bit efi? [07:27] throw it away then [07:28] ducasse, I don't know. All I know is the info here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_Mini#cite_note-Upgrade-41 and on the mac's system info profiler... [07:28] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_Mini [07:28] ignore the #cite-note part [07:30] guiverc-t : I am reading syslog (unable to read journal) [07:30] newbii, (I'm having network issues sorry) but my xorg log is in ~/.local/share/xorg/ (where ~ is your hdd home dir again) [07:30] because if it does, the ubuntu images do not support that afaik. you would need to make your own usb stick or something. [07:30] the last message is successfully activated service "org/gnome.screensaver" [07:31] BlackDalek: forgot to highlight you in my last message, sorry [07:32] ducasse... I am trying to find the USB installer instructions/download now... [07:34] BlackDalek: you use the same iso as for dvd, but you would need to place a 32-bit grub loader in the efi part [07:34] guiverc: my xorg.log files date from yesterdy only nothing from today [07:34] BlackDalek: there are a few howtos online, iirc [07:35] ducasse, yes.. I'm going through one now... === bunypuncher is now known as bunnypuncher [07:46] what the? Why on earth do I need to install some third party Etcher program to make a bootable USB for mac? I don't remember needing to do this before? [07:47] BlackDalek: you can use any tool that will do a raw image write to a usb stick, i'd guess etcher is just their recommendation [07:54] sorry newbii, i'm unable to help much, but as previously stated I'd look at what you did, the instructions you attempted to follow to see if you went wrong, or see if you can backout changes (via hdds ~/.bash_history; you didn't make .bak's of modified files did you?); though even a `find -mtime` maybe be useful to find what files you modified (if you limit where it looks) ... i'm busy in real life & don't know xorg [07:55] guiverc: thank you for your help anyway [07:57] newbii: what exactly is your problem? i didn't see your original question. [07:58] ducasse: here is the initiel question: Help please!! I have a big problem with my bionic beaver installed about a week ago. All was fine, but now it does not want to start. when I press the start button the screen become black and after some time i see the messages. it stops at the step "Started GNOME display manager" and does not move any more. Please help me if you can.-- [08:00] newbii: are there any errors in the x log? [08:00] I want to upgrade but when I used the highest version of ubuntu it seem like my computer was shuting down all the time why is this and how can I upgrade to the latiest version of ubuntu without any issue [08:00] ducasse - my last entry of xlog dates from yesterday. [08:01] I now succeeded to get the terminal (was not easy thanks to people who helped [08:01] tryng to start xfce session it says make sure X server is not already running [08:01] newbii: what kind of gpu do you have? [08:02] what is gpu please? [08:02] newbii: graphics hardware [08:02] nvidia, amd or intel? [08:03] amd [08:05] I killed the x server and suddenly all came back [08:05] very strange [08:05] what came back? [08:06] 1 sec - checking again [08:06] well the macgine started to behave as usual [08:07] but I rebooted and I have the same problem now [08:07] now it displays messages related to Snappy daemon [08:08] it goes on and on with boot [08:08] Excusme, I want ask about Raspberry PI, Is this a good room for that?? [08:09] eltiopacote: does it run ubuntu? [08:11] Yes. Ubuntu Mate 16.04 [08:12] eltiopacote: then go ahead and ask [08:13] I want update the system. But the Update System give me this error's message: [08:13] The upgrade needs a total of 48,2 M free space on disk '/boot'. Please free at least an additional 4.063 k of disk space on '/boot'. You can remove old kernels using 'sudo apt autoremove', and you could also set COMPRESS=xz in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf to reduce the size of your initramfs. [08:15] ducasse: so now the situation is as follows: whe i press the start button it works longtime than displays the terminal. I can not launch xfce4 session ( althoug it is installed) then I kill Xserver, by sudo kill [number] [08:15] The System is running in MicroSD of 32GB. But the boot's system has got 66MB only. [08:15] then it recovers the usuall screen of login management. however no possibility to get the xfce [08:15] !kernelcleanup | eltiopacote [08:15] eltiopacote: For information about removing old kernels to free up space on /boot, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RemoveOldKernels [08:16] it gives the usual gnome flashback thatt I was susing before - so I am somehow saved but every login takes about 5 minutes [08:17] newbii: i've got no other suggestions, sorry [08:17] OK thanks anyway [08:20] newbii: you can try 'sudo systemctl stop gdm' and 'startx xfce-session' to see if that will start it manually [08:23] when i ssh login, i get the message => There are 2 zombie processes [08:23] decasse: I have now access tojournal, so if you know where to seek necessary info about crash, tell me [08:23] but i can't actually find them [08:23] according to htop, there isn't any zombie processes === jstein_ is now known as jstein [08:38] hello [08:46] munubar [08:48] #ubuntu [08:48] #ubuntu is [08:49] shubham cwc [08:49] shubha pibcnsmcsnc [08:49] jin [08:49] cbsbcsnc [08:52] hello.py [09:04] What is PageUp/PageDown equivalent in zsh? Coming from bash. [09:10] how do I create a mac-bootable USB drive on Ubuntu? I'm running out of options to create the USB on the Mac, so I want to try create it on the Ubuntu PC instead. I've tried Unetbootin for mac (fails to recognize any kind of USB drive). Tried Etcher (won't install on old Mac). Can't boot the mac from a DVD. What's left? [09:11] BlackDalek: hard way 'cause to create a mac bootable you need a mac [09:12] BlackDalek: best way is to emulate mac in vmware [09:14] I almost got Unetbootin working but I can't for the life of me figure out why it won't recognize any USB drive [09:15] I've formatted and reformatted the USB drive over and over again and Unetbootin refuses to recognize it. [09:16] BlackDalek: sure , 'cause the mac boot is not free [09:17] gigirock, what's not free? and how does that affect UNetbootin not recognizing a USB formatted to Fat32? [09:19] BlackDalek: dd the iso over [09:23] EriC^^, dd? [09:24] EriC^^: yes but u need a mac iso....... the BlackDalek talk about old mac [09:25] BlackDalek: yeah, dd is a tool ubuntu already has, it writes the iso to the hard disk on a low level, the partition table and partitions and everything, it's all you really need to make a bootable usb from one of ubuntu's isos [09:27] BlackDalek: if you want to give it a try, do "sudo dd if=/path/to/iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M && sync" where /dev/sdX is your usb's device name [09:29] BlackDalek: what happens when you try booting the usb you made with unetbootin? [09:33] EriC^^, I can't make a USB with Unetbootin because Unetbootin refuses to recognize any USB drive I format on either the mac or on Ubuntu [09:33] rooms [09:35] BlackDalek: does the usb show up in gparted? [09:35] BlackDalek: or in the output of "sudo parted -ls" ? [09:36] hello [09:36] ??? [09:39] EriC^^, for some reason now I can no longer launch ANY app in ubuntu. I don't know what happened. I have to restart this computer [09:41] EriC^^, ok.. apparently there was a bunch of "device could not be mounted" windows under the open apps which needed to be closed. That's why I couldn't click anything... [09:45] EriC^^, the USB shows up in Ubuntu gparted as it should. [09:45] BlackDalek: ok what's the name it shows up under "sudo parted -ls" ? /dev/sd.. ? [09:46] could you pastebin the result of "sudo parted -ls | nc termbin.com 9999" please? [09:48] EriC^^, I typed that command and it just outputs a website URL for http://termbin.com/bvvb whatever that is [09:48] I see.. termbin is a pastebin [09:49] EriC^^, it's the Sandisk one at the bottom === amirpro_ is now known as amirpro [09:53] BlackDalek: ok, do you know where the iso is located? [09:53] i mean, where's the iso located? Downloads dir? [09:54] EriC^^, yes. BTW.. I tried the dd command to write the ISO to the USB drive. Mac couldn't boot from it, so that failed. [09:54] BlackDalek: hmm, does the mac use EFI? [09:54] EriC^^, the ISO is located on both the mac and on this computer in my Downloads folder [09:55] EriC^^, I don't know what it uses or how to find out if it uses EFI. [09:56] BlackDalek: what happened when you tried booting from the usb? and does unetbooting have an option that explicitly states the usb will be mac friendly? [09:57] i ask because using dd it should create a BIOS compatible usb and UEFI as well, i'm not sure if pre-EFI mac's need a special method for booting [09:58] EriC^^, on Unetbootin I get the exact same result as shown in the images of the 3rd reply here - https://github.com/unetbootin/unetbootin/issues/86 [09:59] BlackDalek: what mac model is it? [09:59] EriC^^, macmini1,1 OS 10.5.8 [10:01] BlackDalek: oh, it uses a 32bit uefi, you'll have to modify the usb to have 32bit uefi files, this write up seems good http://coderazzi.net/linux/macmini2006/macmini.htm [10:05] EriC^^, if I install xorriso and follow the guide on that page, will that create a usable install DVD? [10:07] The 18.04 live CD seems to change the HW clock. Is that a known issue? I see bug 1703479, but no activity on it. [10:07] bug 1703479 in systemd (Ubuntu) "Ubuntu 17.04 & Kubuntu 17.04 LiveCD writes to bios/hardware clock; thereby messing up my installed Windows 10 Pro laptop time" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1703479 [10:11] BlackDalek: yes it should [10:12] EriC^^, I've executed the xorriso commands on the ISO, burning to a new DVD-R now... [10:13] yo [10:15] question: do you think wayland will become the default for ubuntu 18.10 and onward or still xorg? [10:23] Hello? [10:26] EriC^^, that failed too. I'm back to square one. It fails to boot with "Failed to load ldlinux.c32" error [10:26] hi, what risks are if i do `do-release-upgrade -d` from 16.04lts to 18.04lts? [10:26] versus waiting until end of august when it will be officially supported [10:27] So does this mean it's now impossible to install Ubuntu on a 2006 Mac Mini? [10:30] EriC^^, the Ubuntu ISO I used was a "Desktop 32bit" version not a "Server 32bit" version - should that have made any difference to the ISO I created with xorriso? [10:30] hello ? [10:41] How do I install Ubuntu onto a Mac mini model macmini1,1? [10:43] I still couldn't install Office 2013 nor 2016 on my Ubuntu 18.06 box. I tried many many many many many many methods, none works! [10:49] hello everyone [10:49] do anyone know the alternative of "/usr/sbin/ipconfig set tap0 dhcp" in ubuntu 18.04 server? [10:50] do anyone know the alternative of "/usr/sbin/ipconfig set tap0 dhcp" in ubuntu 18.04? [10:52] BlackDalek: Have you tried converting the iso to img first? [10:52] coconut, no. What difference would that make? [10:53] That would make it bootable on a mac [10:54] BlackDalek: check this https://askubuntu.com/questions/28495/how-do-i-get-my-mac-to-boot-from-an-ubuntu-usb-key [10:54] coconut, but img or iso is just the container for the disk image which gets burned to a disk. How is there any difference once the image is burned to the disk? [10:55] It will be different partition table wise. [10:55] apple systems don't listen to disk made out of iso's, just is. [10:56] *disks [10:59] coconut, the error I am getting is "Failed to load ldlinux.c32" when I try to boot the mac from it. [10:59] BlackDalek: that i do not know, sorry, [11:04] do anyone know the alternative of "/usr/sbin/ipconfig set tap0 dhcp" in ubuntu 18.04? [11:06] BlackDalek: i googled a little, and some got this same error fixed by formatting the disk to FAT16 first. [11:07] Which is the format anyway when you cp the img to usb thumb. [11:10] nice 16.04 upgrade 18.04 and mariadb stopped fiunctioning, it did tho [11:11] coconut, how do I format the USB thumb to FAT16? [11:13] do anyone know the alternative of "/usr/sbin/ipconfig set tap0 dhcp" in ubuntu 18.04? [11:13] spaces: iirc the package name and version changed. perhaps uninstall and reinstall proper new bionic's package?

(!! working with /dev/diskX can be *very* dangerous!! Check whether you have the right path until you have lost 10 pounds or you loose your data on your hard disk...) [11:16] BlackDalek: with disk i mean the usb thumb [11:17] adham: ipconfig? or ifconfig? you should be using `ip` from `iproute2` package (default installed), ifconfig is long deprecated. and you set dhcp using dhclient [11:18] coconut, first, how do I change the ISO to an IMG file? [11:19] BlackDalek: you can check the right location of your usb thumb from "$ diskutil list" and then make a guaranteed check with "$ diskutil list /dev/diskX" to be absolute sure. [11:19] blackflow: Yes, I tried using "/sbin/ip link set tap0 dhcp" but it fails [11:19] blackflow huh ? I can install mariaDb and the old data will be saved, huh ? it asked me for a password when doing the upgrade for root and it worked :S [11:20] BlackDalek: follow the link i gave you. [11:20] spaces: afaik (re)installing such packages doesn't remove data dirs or (changed) configs. [11:20] Error: either "dev" is duplicate, or "dhcp" is a garbage.

[11:21] adham: use dhclient, not ip, to activate dhcp. [11:21] could you please help/advise blackflow [11:21] can you please give me the full sentence? [11:21] adham: dhclient tap0 [11:21] BlackDalek: work from the entry with 14 given points. [11:22] adham: though I'm assuming you're doing this just temporarily to test things? you should otherwise set permanent configs with netplan [11:22] BlackDalek: with title "How to create a bootable USB stick on OS X/macOS" [11:22] spaces: that I don't know, sorry. it's just that with upgrade some packages have changed names and must be explicitly reinstalled for proper operation. also check if there's anything in new mariadb that's not backwards compatible config-wise [11:23] blackflow: i have openvpn config file accompanied with dhcp-client-request.sh that has that line [11:23] coconut, I can't find any utility named hdiutil to install in the Ubuntu repositories. [11:23] I just alternated it with dhclient tap0 but it hangs on dhcp-client-request.sh tap0 1500 1592 init [11:23] spaces: with postgresql updates (I use postgresql) I prefer to competely drop and restore the db via SQL due to internal data changes. [11:24] BlackDalek: no this page has all instructions from mac. [11:24] coconut, oh yeah.. sorry, my bad [11:24] adham: sorry I don't know about your specific configuration. I'm just saying ifconfig is long deprecated, you should use ip, and dhclient to activate dhcp on it, and otherwise use netplan for permanent configuration, with appropriate backend (NM or networkd) [11:25] BlackDalek" at 4.) you can also not do that and let the cp of img choose the file system. and at 9.) you can just use cp commmand instead of dd. [11:26] agreed, I'm trying to find at least the alternative of the old sentence [11:26] that config is mainly for older versions of ubuntu [11:26] how can this "/usr/sbin/ipconfig set tap0 dhcp" be alternated in ubuntu 18.04? [11:27] but... backup you data(on usb) first! Note that all partitions will get destroyed, so don't think a second partition is a safe way to let dat intact on the usb thumb. [11:27] *data [11:29] coconut, I have no valuable data on the USB drive that requires backup. The internal hard disk of the Mac itself should not be touched, right? [11:30] adham: I just told you. :) also, is this server? desktop? do you have other network configuration systems interfering? networkmanager perhaps? [11:30] No, do *not* make a mistake here... *really* end verify your /dev/disklocationhere !! [11:30] and also it's not ipconfig, but ifconfig. if you have ipconfig in your scripts, that's either a typo or some software I have no idea what it does, but aint' ifconfig. [11:31] you can do that with "diskutil list" and "diskutil info /dev/devlocationofyourspottedlocationindiskutilinfo" [11:31] blackflow strange, it moved the data to a backup folder and moving it back to /var/lib/mysql cannot start mariadb [11:32] spaces: is there an error log you could consult, why it doesn't start? [11:32] sorry, typo: No, do *not* make a mistake here... *really* check and verify your /dev/disklocationhere !! [11:32] blackflow, desktop [11:33] adham: okay. so, I recommend you start from the beginning, what's the end goal you want to achieve (forget current implementation). let's avoid the XY problem.
