[00:12] anyway to find out why f2 is binding to mute on ubuntu 18.04 ? [00:26] How do you boot a mount from grub command line? [00:31] conr, i can only be vague (haven't done it in ages), but set root=(hdx,y) ; linux /boot...; initrd /boot...; boot though if non-linux you can use chainloader.. [00:31] (simpler commands to what you see in grub.cfg anyway) [00:32] guiverc: I'm half way there. [00:33] Problem is I don't know what my initrd.img version is [00:33] $ ls /boot [00:33] is this the way to fix gnome shell freezing up on 18.04? [00:33] gnome-shell --replace [00:33] on most machines; there is a link to initrd (& vmlinuz) so you don't need to remember the latest...

[00:36] RoadRunner: for simplicty currently calibre sadly [00:36] conr, have a look in / ; my latest (& prior) initrd.img & vmlinuz have links there (ubuntu 18.10 for me) [00:37] granttrec: what thoughts on Bookworm or Buka? [00:39] RoadRunner: both kind of buggy last time I tried, if you are just reading novels should be ok, one of them has a lot of deps tho I dont remeber which, you also might have to manually install [00:40] I am also not hating on calibre based on how it looks since that is easly changed I just wanted an ebook viewer only [00:41] conr: What is your partitioning ( MBR, GPT ) and do you know your partitioning layout ? [00:41] Bashing-om: GPT [00:42] I had 16.04 for years and was playing around with katoolin and accidently installed Kali [00:43] https://github.com/LionSec/katoolin [00:46] granttrec: so what's the problem with calibre? [00:46] conr: do youu know which partition the ubuntu root directory is installed to ? or do we have to hunt for it ? . [00:47] I'm pretty sure it's on (hd0,2) [00:48] RoadRunner: nothing it just too much when a want an e-book viewer only [00:48] hello i have a Aspire 7750G with 16gb of ram its intel I7 2.20ghz with the silly dual intel video cards but i currently have the second video card turned off in the bios running ubuntu 16.04 lts dual boot with win 7 under ubuntu it keeps locking up solid tried all the keyboard commands to bring up a terminal tried "reisub" to force a reboot and hopefuly generate some error in the logs in so doing nothing works exept holding [00:48] down the power button and then when booted back up there are no errors in the logs to go by [00:49] tried running the intel video driver update tool for 16.04 did not help [00:50] ran memtest86 all the way through one pass [00:50] no errors [00:50] granttrec: besides format convertions, what other features are there in calibre (or what features do you consider bulky and extra)? [00:51] RoadRunner: it is basically a personally database for orgransing all books, isbns and all, which I dont care about, just rather have my stuff as files [00:53] granttrec: what are isbns? and aren [00:54] aren't individual ebooks kept as distinct files in it? [00:55] RoadRunner: just load it up and see for yourself :) [00:55] granttrec: will do, just wondering if the other two apps are worthy of the same test :) [00:55] conr: try then as ' set prefix=(hd0,gpt2)/boot/grub ; set root=(hd0,gpt2) ; insmod normal ; normal ; insmod linux ; linux /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda2 ro ; initrd /boot/init ; boot . [00:56] RoadRunner: i'd say no [00:56] granttrec: thank you :) [00:56] np [01:02] Bashing-om: No dice. Just goes to busy-box cmd line [01:02] and still says Kali [01:03] What should my /etc/lsb-release say? [01:03] does anyone know where the skl_uncore driver comes from? I tried to search for that in the menuconfig of the kernel I'm running but it was not there [01:04] I'm running into a graphic issue in compiling an alternative kernel, and the difference seems to be that in the working kernel skl_uncore is in use for the skylake host bridge, and in the broken version the skylake hostbridge has no kernel driver in use [01:05] I figured it would be a simple matter of enabling a new menuconfig option and recompiling, but I cannot for the life of me figure out what enables it === bhalithan1 is now known as bhalithan [01:10] Question: message on updates "W: initramfs-tools configuration sets RESUME=UUID=be5f.." which is because of /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume; would folks recommend change the UUID in that file?, changing another file? or just remove file? or just continue to ignore?

[01:14] Bashing-om: Like efi/ubuntu ? [01:17] conr: No, ubuntu will be on a partition .. like say (hd0,gpt3) .or maybe (hd1,gpt1) ? .. or we can continue the hunt to try and identify where ubuntu is installed to . - we got to tell grub what to do . [01:17] What does LD in LD_LIBRARY_PATH stand for? [01:18] Bashing-om: So I $ ls all of them and only two are readable [01:19] nexus6, i could be wrong, but maybe List.of.Directories to search...

[01:21] conr: I have to wonder with GPT partitioning what happened to the partitions on 2 drives between the 1st and the 9th partitions . I would expect all partitions to be listed in order . === lynn_ is now known as gryphon [01:24] wespi, i can't find the package, but you could always use synaptic [01:25] Bashing-om: I'm thinking of just making a Ubuntu boot disk and installing over that driv [01:25] The only think i'm worried about is a 2TB raid partition mounted on another [01:27] conr: raid adds a level of complexity that I am not equiped to cope with in this instance .

[01:47] hai [01:49] conr: No, not too old .. but my experience is limited with Intel . I do not know how strong of a chip set you have . [01:53] Bashing-om: Is there anyway to remove all system folders on the (hd0,gpt2) and copy fresh ones from a USB? [01:57] conr: sure while one can .. is a great way to break the system . ALL files would have to be compatible - updated libs in the install .. hard row to hoe and chasing down config files ..oH Boy ! Got to be a better way . [01:58] Bashing-om: I would just clean install the whole system but I have that 4TB Raid mount [02:00] conr: At this point .. If I were considering moving system files .. I would in fact mount the partitions, pull off my data and do a clean install ! [02:01] Bashing-om: Yeah, I just don't have another 4TBs of backup to use [02:03] conr: The operating system(s) on seperate drives ? then why not dis-connect the raid drives to protect that data .. and clean install a new server . ( desktop does not have the raid tools installed by default) [02:05] Yeah just not to confortable with using zfs [02:06] Someone helped me setup with zfs [02:06] conr: Me Neither ! Have yet to even look at zfs . [02:12] I'll ask someone from zfslinux. Thanks!

[02:51] guiverc: My notes " RESUME=UUID=xxxxxxxx" change to RESUME=/dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxxxxxx" . [02:52] i don't know when, but the UUID of my swap is different (must have been reformatted; and I only changed /etc/fstab) [02:53] guiverc: Huh ! .. resizing swap will also give it a new UUID . [02:55] sorry Bashing-om, my thoughts are always 'a-jumble' (don't have a brain injury!) would you recommend changing UUID in that file? remove? or?? [02:57] guiverc: Got a bitt of experience here .. what shows in the /etc/uswsusp.conf file ? [02:58] no file exists [03:03] guiverc: Think that only says not encrypted :) [03:07] do these look sane ' sudo blkid | grep swap ; ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/<^^ that UUID> ' . [03:08] yep. [03:09] hold on... i made an err [03:10] guiverc: Moving on along ' ls /dev/mapper ' returns " control" ? [03:10] yep (all fine, I compared partuuid & uuid - my err) [03:10] yep [03:13] guiverc: trying to resume ? does this file exist " /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume " ? [03:13] yep: file = ascii text [03:13] I have trouble adding .img.xz files to MultiBoot USBs through MultiSystem? [03:15] guiverc: and the file has " RESUME=UUID=xxxxxxxx " where we want to change to " RESUME=/dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxxxxxx " ?? [03:15] MultiSystem asks to add an .img, but they spring up an error stating it is not an .iso [03:16] so horny [03:16] must have more porn [03:17] Bashing-om, it contains the wrong (I assume old) uuid [03:19] i have no idea what creates that file, editing & correcting that file was my question (or other) [03:19] guiverc: I have never known blkid to lie .. I would make the UUID as per what the system reports from blkid output . [03:20] thanks Bashing-om - that's what I wanted to do anyway... thanks for confirming!! [03:20] guiverc: Let's get out of the woods before doing the feel good dance :P [03:28] i'm happy Bashing-om ; whilst I don't know what command generates the warning that led to my question; update-initramfs doesn't (it was what i tested thinking it may be what threw it; but I don't know)... thanks !!

[03:37] takeme, i don't know, but if you'd have removed the app during this session, it's menu may still be there (in cache) but the program behind it is gone. i'd suggest trying ctrl+alt+t to see if that works, other wise type 'term' in menu & see what other options you have? [03:40] takeme: can we have a bit more details? ubuntu version? terminal version?

So please use their dedicated support venues, for example: Linux Mint (#linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org), Kali Linux (#kali-linux), and LXLE (#lxle) [03:43] :( [03:48] lotuspsychje: it is ubuntu really heh [03:48] :) [03:48] it is joking only [03:49] takeme: derivatives have seperate channels for a reason, use them? [03:50] i use ubuntu ;) [03:50] it is joking [03:50] takeme, kali is not Ubuntu, nor an official flavor or Ubuntu. It's also not built from Ubuntu, but debian.

[03:55] sd card reader is not device? [03:55] So many things since my upgrade from 17.10 to 18.04 have broken on the update process.... Bluetooth doesn't work... and now SD Cards don't work either [03:56] I plug in an SD card, and nothing shows up [03:56] JFox762: how about installing 18.04 directly? [03:56] How did I install it incorrectly? [03:57] you use ubuntu directly [03:57] ? [03:57] instead of using virtual machine? [03:57] no virtual machine [03:57] bare metal [03:57] ah great [03:57] i want to use it like you [03:58] but i have only one computer [03:58] so i can't [03:58] I only use VMs for testing purposes since I can never figure out how to get VMs to function with decent performance [03:58] The Performance on VMs is *ALWAYS* horrid [03:58] well compared to bare metal... [03:59] and vmware size will grow only [03:59] so I only ever use VM linux installs for nothing more than checking out other linux distros [03:59] So I can' [03:59] guys, keep it ontopic plz [03:59] So I can't figure out how to get my Linux to recognize my SD card [03:59] nevertheless i delete file, vmware size don’t shrink [03:59] ah [04:00] usb connector is normal? [04:01] JFox762, I have almost no experience with sdcards; but i use `lsusb` to list usb devices (where I plug in camera or sd-cards from camera via dongle) to ensure it's recognized; `blkid` to get details of my sd card, then `mount` it (none via gui, which is why I didn't respond) [04:01] I have a Lenovo T430s, and it has worked perfectly before... Bluetooth worked perfectly fine on 17.10... and so did SD Card reader [04:01] blkid has No output [04:02] JFox762: how about installing 18 instead of upgrading? JFox762 ? [04:02] I just typed it and it merely returned to prompt with nothing in between (which implies a list of zero) [04:02] Takeme, that is exactly what I did... sorry [04:02] sorry I wasn't more specific :) [04:02] I did a clean reeinstall [04:02] upgrading ubuntu have problem [04:02] I see all kinds of different recommendations, what's a decent partitioning for ubuntu 18, just / and /home sufficient? [04:04] edenc: setup simulates a partitioning automaticly for you, if you want [04:04] edenc, sounds good to me. everyone's needs/requirements differ, which is why there are so many recommendations... [04:04] lotuspsychje: simulates? In my case its unallocated space on a secondary drive [04:05] guiverc, okay and I believe apt installs under / not home, so I could probably get away with large / and small /home? like say 200GB and 30GB for instance [04:07] edenc, yes programs, libs etc install to /, but you don't need 200gb, a 32-40gb should be fine in my opinion, save the space for your data (/home) [04:08] brb [04:08] trying something [04:08] how about suggestions for say a /var, couldn't I always just create that folder in /, is there some benefit to partitioning it? [04:10] is this a server? (with what purpose?) or a desktop you are talking about edenc ? [04:10] desktop, development mostly. [04:11] I think I'll go maybe 100/100 / and home, that's sufficient :').... so technically those 2 mount points are required? [04:11] hi [04:11] I fixed it! [04:11] I'd not bother with /var; (if it doesn't have a partition, it'll use /'s space), ie. don't give it its own partition... (note I don't know your development tools so your specific needs may be different to what i've used/experienced) [04:12] https://www.fosslinux.com/1985/fix-sd-card-reader-not-working-after-ubuntu-16-04-upgrade.htm [04:12] so /boot and SWAP are simply not needed is my understanding, defaults to swap file, and why do some suggest /boot [04:12] ^ That is the solution I used to fix the issue. Worked perfectly :D [04:13] edenc, at times /boot partition can be real handy; at other times it's a [royal] pain... - your usage will dictate... [04:14] its a dual boot too, but I imagine that doesn't effect much [04:15] Anyone know what the best software to use to Flash an SD Card with a Raspberry Pi? [04:15] Flash it with Raspbian that is?\ [04:16] JFox762, only Ubuntu is supported in this channel with regards Raspberry Pi, or in fact any architecture; though I've never seen a s390 question here.. but I wait for it :) [04:20] edenc, dual boot - is the other distro a *nix?? or a doze? ; if a *nix, they can share the swap space (if partition), which means you don't have two OSes making swapfiles... [04:27] edmz: Partitioning and drive usage is totally use case dependent. I have 6 drives and presently 2 online, as a reference : http://termbin.com/1cab .

[06:27] yes nada [06:28] default is gnome ? [06:28] kurt-xubuntu: do you happen to have a second computer and a PL2303 wire? [06:29] takeme: are you asking whether the default desktop on ubuntu is gnome? it is since 18.04. the ubuntu dekstop there is based on gnome 3.

[06:34] see this kurt-xubuntu https://debian-administration.org/article/492/Debugging_system_freezes [06:34] Hi [06:36] Is it possible to run an x application from inside a chroot jail?

[06:44] tomreyn: https://askubuntu.com/questions/99932/missing-window-list-on-bottom-panel-in-gnome-classic [06:44] to get a list of all running applications, you can use the 'ps' command on a terminal. there are graphical alternatives. [06:44] i did it [06:45] :) well done [06:45] :) [06:55] still hangs.. anyone here has successfully installed 18.04 on an aton n270 or similar architecture? [06:56] XLV: have you tried, if so, does it not work, if so, how? [06:58] tomreyn, i tried, it just hangs. i updated the kernel due to bug with intel 945gm IGP, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1724639?comments=all and it still hangs.. [06:58] Launchpad bug 1724639 in linux (Ubuntu) "Bug in Kernel 4.13 : Intel Mobile Graphics 945 shows 80 % black screen" [Medium,Confirmed] [06:58] XLV: and it still doesn't work with 4.15? [06:59] tomreyn, its two bugs in there.. the 2nd one appears on 4.15 too, i installed 4.17.2 [07:01] XLV: i guess you could try a 4.18 rc. [07:01] !mainline [07:01] The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds [07:02] http://iam.tj/projects/ubuntu/wget_kernel_mainline.sh is handy in managing (and authenticating) mainline kernels. [07:11] hi all, need help with logrotate. Under lastaction how can I get the filename AFTER dateext/dateformat have renamed the file. I need to pass in the exact filename to an external script. if I use $1 inside lastaction, i am receiving the plain file name /var/log/mylog but I want /var/log/mylog-2018-07-13-1531550948. thanks! [07:23] Hi guys! I have three mp4 videos: 25 fps, 23.976 fps, 29.97 fps. How can I mix them with variable framerate using ffmpeg? [07:23] https://pastebin.com/EWjkEkXT [07:24] Here is information about my files [07:24] Ah, I need concatenate videos with sound, of course! [08:06] hello everyone [08:18] tomreyn, it boots.. but slowly as hell.. guess 18.04 is proving to be quite heavy for the old POS [08:22] hey every body [08:23] i have a .pbk file for connecting to vpn with a "Device=WAN Miniport (PPTP)" in it . so how can i import settings of this file ?? [08:23] and connect to vpn server [08:26] XLV: yeay, what did you need to do then? [08:29] tomreyn, if i tell you i dont know? i went into recovery mode, with the 4.17.2 kernel i selected some options there, fsck etc, then i selected normal boot from there, and it booted [08:29] didnt install a newer kernel than 4.17.2 [08:33] abb4s: this is a windows file format for an l2tp / pptp vpn. you should be able to iopen it in a text viewer and create a custom vpn configuration based on it using network manager. [08:34] abb4s: i dont think there's a converter for those files which would create a profle you could import into network manager (but have not really searched much) [08:34] abb4s, i find np pbk manuals, this answer says to set up manually, as pbk is just a text file with vpn connection information, and you can copy that manually https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1734396 [08:34] XLV: well, glad it worked uot then :) [08:35] :-) [08:38] tomreyn, oerheks : thanks . actually theres so many fields and configuration in file. and its hard to find out which one is for which one ! [08:39] abb4s, maybe your vpn vendor has more information, or better config files [08:39] an .ovpn or something like that [08:41] sup :] [08:43] just rejoined irc after a long hiatus and am wondering what are the active channels and networks for general computer and technology chat? Just seem to end up at #ubuntu, which is in no way bad, though :D [08:44] hi dc, this is ubuntu technical support [08:44] !alis [08:44] Alis is an IRC service to help you find channels. For help on using it, see "/msg Alis help list" or ask in #freenode. Example usage: "/msg Alis list http" [08:45] oerheks: thanks :) [08:45] I also have a technical Ubuntu question === fred909 is now known as fred- [08:47] When I run 'systemctl list-units' I can see some snaps being loaded multiple times, as in multiple versions. For example, I can see "snap-gimp-38.mount", "snap-gimp-39.mount" and so forth. I also see VLC being loaded twice and VS Code has three different versions loaded. I also have VLC shown twice in the Ubuntu Software -application with one stating "VLC" and the other "VLC media player". How could I clean [08:48] this up? [08:48] those are older versions, so you can roll back [08:49] standard snap keeps N=3 versions [08:50] Right [08:50] snap remove --revision=N >> answer #5 https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapd/+bug/1555217 [08:50] Launchpad bug 1555217 in snapd "snappy keeps N=3 revisions of each snap around" [Undecided,Won't fix] [08:51] Alright, so maybe I'll just let them be unless I run out of disk space [08:52] yes, that depends if it is a game of 400 mb+, i would do that manually [08:53] right, thanks :) [08:53] not ideal, i agree [08:53] dc have fun! [08:53] yeah I suppose there's opinions on this [08:53] :) [08:53] the option to roll back, is nice. but 3 .. [09:10] hey, which news reader for usenet would you recommend? [09:10] with SSL [09:18] dc-, for actually reading nntp? [09:28] Did a two-step upgrade from 17.04 -> 17.10 -> 18.04 [09:28] At 17.10, I couldn't login successfully. [09:28] Got something like "Failed Authentication" [09:29] So at the login screen I switched to tty1, then completed the upgrade from there. [09:29]
