[00:06] how do I stop/close/kill this initial setup welcome message after installing [00:08] I'm running 16.04.4 LTS, can I upgrade directly to 18.04 LTS? [00:08] nacc: ah, it's a python web service, that's all. [00:08] deadmund: when it's available yes (you can do it now, too, but it's not supported and i would wait) [00:08] leftyfb: by upstart init script, you mean, something that runs at the system level... eg. not a web service or such, right? [00:09] foo: oh i see, then python is irrelevant :) [00:09] Hey folks. Does anyone know if I can readily install meson with a version newer than 0.40 using apt? I checked xenial-backports, and it seems to have 0.40, but I'm unsure if there's some other source of even newer packages I could use. [00:09] nacc: It's not available? Wasn't it released back in April? 18.04 04 is April right?? [00:09] foo: what version of ubuntu are you on? [00:09] deadmund: it's available, upgrades happen when the first dotrelease occurs. [00:09] deadmund: (for LTS -> LTS upgrades) [00:09] !latest | cq1 [00:09] cq1: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. [00:09] nacc: I would like to try now because I have a bug on my current install regarding my graphics drivers (and maybe kernel). [00:10] nacc: How can I do it? [00:10] nacc: When wil the first dot release occur? [00:10] cq1, upgrade to bionic, i guess .. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/meson [00:12] I can use do-release-upgrade -d [00:12] nacc: oerheks: This is on AWS, using a fixed AMI, so I don't have that much ability to change the distro, and I also really don't care if it breaks everything. [00:12] oerheks: But thanks, that's super useful to know that Bionic has 0.45, because I know that 0.45 is new enough. [00:12] https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/installing-upgrading.html.en [00:13] Thanks erreybody!! [00:13] -d = development, i think you might end up with Cosmic 18.10 ? [00:14] do the flavors get the dot releases simultaneously with the main ubuntu? [00:14] oerheks: I don't think so. The site I linked says specifically I can do this to go from LTS to LTS (when a point release is not yet available) [00:14] deadmund: yes, using -d, but it's not yet official [00:14] deadmund: maybe just do a reinstall? [00:15] nacc: meh [00:15] deadmund: i mean, if you have a busted install already, not sure it's worth upgrading, but it's your choice [00:15] oerheks: you wouldn't be able to go from 16.04 -> 18.10 anyways [00:15] oerheks: i think it should go 16.04 -> 18.04 ahead of the LTS upgrade cycle [00:15] (it's contingent, i think, upon the setting) [00:16] Maybe I'll just see if we can fix the bug. [00:17] In firefox when I click the hamburger button I can't see the menu. Other menus work (right click, file menu, etc), but the addon menus and hamburger menu don't. I am running the intel i915 driver and KDE on 16.04 [00:18] nacc: oerheks: I just installed the version from bionic, and it worked perfectly! I was really worried it'd be binary with incompatible glibc version, but it was fine. Thanks so much! [00:19] cq1: to be clear, that was not what either of us were suggesting to do. [00:21] What package should I report that bug against [00:21] ??? [00:21] The graphics driver? KDE? xorg? firefox? [00:21] deadmund: hamburger button? [00:22] deadmund: oh jargon, i see [00:22] deadmund: create a dummy user; does it happen to that user as well? [00:22] nacc: dummy ubuntu or dummy firefox user? [00:22] deadmund: if so, then it's your local firefox config, erase it, back it up and see [00:22] deadmund: ubuntu [00:23] nacc: good idea, let me check [00:23] deadmund: if that doesn't fix it, file it against firefox [00:25] hello there [00:26] anyone know what this microcode 0x22 error is when I try to install ubuntu directly to a drive vs on a virtual machine where this error does not come up? [00:27] nacc: The problem persists even with a new ubuntu user. Where / how should I file a bug? [00:28] How the hell can i get Mod_rewrite or the Vitrualhost when using a vhost on 443 [00:31] !bug | deadmund [00:31] deadmund: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please report it using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs.

[00:55] Is there a lightweight program that I can line up a playlist of songs in the order I want and then copy them to a directory numbered in the sequence that matches the order in the playlist? [00:55] Say I have all of the Beatles albums on my Library drive. I line up a playlist of She Loves You, Let It Be and Taxman. I want to be able to do something where in a directory I choose, I end up with 01_She_Loves_You.mp3, 02_Let_It_Be.mp3 and 03_Taxman.mp3 (ideally, changing the whitespaces and other problematic characters to underscores or dashes or dots). [00:56] xjkx: if not, try: `sudo apt-get install --reinstall libminiupnpc10 libnatpmp1` [00:56] nacc erm, I removed grub, and some shin-or-something that was causing problems, because my install failed during grub install, so then I am using grub from my older version. Thats all I removed really [00:57] nacc so should I try the new command anyway? [00:57] xjkx: yeah, see if those libraries come back [00:57] i need to step away for a bit -- someone else can help [00:58] boblamont: I am not aware of such a program, this really isn't the best channel to ask that question. You might have more luck in #ubuntu-offtopic [00:58] nacc ok, thanks a lot, very much helpful [00:58] pragmaticenigma: ok, I asked here in case there was something obvious in the repos [00:58] hello [00:59] nacc it worked, thanks !

Been trying to update mono but failing hopelessly [02:58] i even tried compiling the tarball but that didn't update it [03:02] redphantom, what ubuntu are you using?? what mono do you do you have & want? compiling the tarball will compile where it is; menu's won't point to that version and path's won't unless you've modify them to look wherever you compiled it...

[03:15] what am i missing? [03:16] what do you mean by 'not sticking' [03:16] its not updating the actual mono version guiverc [03:16] stays at 5.4 [03:17] i have 5.12 compiled on my system but how do i point my system to it? === Darkhero_ is now known as Darkhero [03:19] browsing their repo i don't see any issues (they have multiple versions, bionic, stable-boinic...). paths must point to id (inc. ld_library_path for libs; ie. not just executable) [03:20] shouldn't this be automated somehow? how do i install this? [03:21] i'd suggest a script to enable your mono sessions that add the required paths; then when done a script to return to normal. it's automated when you use the deb/packages; from source means you compile & put where you want (using technique from the 70s where only grey-beards, devs etc used it) [03:21] how can i get the deb package for mono? [03:21] redphantom, the link i provided had it [03:22] i put those commands in [03:22] and its not updating my mono?

[03:28] redphantom, yep or look at http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man8/apt-get.8.html in upgrade section; with "under no circumstances.." which is then followed by dist-upgrade .... [03:28] ok i did sudo apt dist-upgrade and i think that is working... [03:28] do i upgrade after this? [03:28] upgrade is used for stability (prod'n systems), no reboots, no version bumps - dist-upgrade does all of upgrade plus.... [03:30] well i never knew about dist upgrade so thank you very much guiverc :) [03:30] first line of 'man apt-get' for dist-upgrade states "dist-upgrade in addition to performing the function of upgrade, also.."

However if i lower the resolution, the refresh rate will go up to 60hz [06:57] the monitor supports 1366x768@60hz [07:06] reactiv3: that output looks like you're at 60hz to me (60.06*+) [07:17] ducasse, that's the issue. It's showing 60hz while it's 50hz in reality [07:19] reactiv3: how do you see it's 50hz - does the monitor show it? [07:19] testufo.com [07:20] i can also know from the fps of some games which are tied to the monitor's refresh rate. They run slower than usualy at 50hz [07:21] setting the resolution to 1360 x 768 instead of 1366 x 768 fixes the refresh rate issue [07:23] what a weird issue [07:26] after changing the resolution, i get this which is correct: 1360x768 59.80* 59.96 [07:26] setting it back, i get this which is incorrect: 1366x768 60.06*+ 47.99 [07:31] might this be permission issues with some config file? [07:34] reactiv3: try https://www.vsynctester.com/detect.html [07:36] EriC^^, same result, stuck at < 50hz [07:36] reactiv3: try making a custom mode with refresh rate slightly below 60 [07:36] i checked the "displays.xml" file - all settings are correct as well as permissions [07:37] reactiv3: cvt 1366 768 59 [07:38] reactiv3: xrandr --addmode "1366_768_59" 83.75 1368 1440 1576 1784 768 771 781 797 -hsync +vsync [07:39] reactiv3: * --newmode not --addmode [07:40] reactiv3: then xrandr --addmode "1366_768_59" --output "" [07:40] then select it [07:42] I'm considering taking the plunge and installing ubuntu on my desktop [07:42] EriC^^, it worked [07:43] EriC^^, thanks [07:43] check this, the old xrandr output [07:43] https://i.imgur.com/rG77JGx.png [07:43] the only resolution which has less than 60hz rate is the native one [07:43] do you think if i edited the first line and removed the 47.99 it would have worked? [07:44] reactiv3: maybe yeah [07:45] reactiv3: i've never seen the config file, you might need to change the modeline if it uses it there [07:45] can you upload the config? [07:46] do you mean the xrandr output? [07:46] no the config that you mentioned in editing and stuff [07:47] is it pronounced ewwbuntu or uhhbuntu? [07:48] oo-boo-n-too [07:51] reactiv3: the xrandr stuff is temporary btw, you'll need to either edit some file or add it somewhere in the startup when your user logs in, ~/.profile works something like "if [ -n $DISPLAY ]; then xrandr ......blablabla ; fi" [07:51] !xrandr | reactiv3 [07:51] reactiv3: XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 [07:51] hi, when do I need libc-dev ? [07:52] EriC^^, it seems i made a mistake. I typed 1360 instead of 1366, thus getting 60hz. I tried it again with 1366, still stuck at 48.x hz :( [07:52] ...or put the modeline in a xorg.conf.d snippet, that's where it belongs [07:52] EriC^^, Sorry about that, i prefer to type rather than copy paste, seems i made a typo [07:55] anyway i'll stop bothering you, i'll try to tamper around with xrandr, seems to be an issue with it. thanks for your time [07:56] hi - anyone knows how to define target-directory for tar? i dont want extract in same directory [07:56] andre144k: tar -C [07:57] EriC^^, thx [08:14] Hello people. I have just installed ubuntu 18.04 bionic bever [08:14] and thinking about dirvers for my scanner (Epson GT 1500). [08:14] I have installed sane but still the beaver does not recognize the scanner. [08:14] I was dealing with scanners with "iscan" with the previous Linux. [08:14] but now it is not in the repository. Does anybody know how to manage scanners? [08:14] is there a program replacing iscan? Thanks! [08:16] [08:16] '21 [08:16] !

I'm using Yakuake from Ubuntu daily on a uHDPI screen. Randomly when I start my computer, the font size gets increased or decreased. Any idea where that might come from? [08:19] newbii: iscan is a program from epson, you need to download that + drivers for your scanner from their website [08:24] ducasse: yes I downloaded this. I am just hesitating to launch the procedure, because something has changed: iscan is no more in the repository. Does not that mean that iscan is no more compatible with 18.04? [08:34] newbii: it was never there to begin with [08:37] newbii, https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=iscan (not for trusty, xenial, artful, bionic or cosmic) in any ubuntu repo [08:37] ducasse: sorry I meant it was in the repository for one of the previous ubuntu versions: namely for precise pangolin [08:38] !info iscan precise [08:38] Package iscan does not exist in precise [08:38] nope [08:39] newbii: it's always been distributed separately by epson afaik [08:40] Ok I am sorry, so I confused smth. anyway it is not that important. I would like just to know that this "iscan" works with beaver. Do you confirm? [08:40] i don't know, i haven't tested. only one way to find out :) [08:41] newbii: if it is critical for you, then you could always test it out in a live environment first [08:42] Ok thanks for the info [09:18] Hi, how do I prevent hdmi audio kernel module from being loaded? [09:20] netsrot, blacklist it? [09:20] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Loadable_Modules#Blacklisting_Modules [09:20] oerheks: seems like I forgot to update initramfs.
