[00:00] psi7: run the last apt-get commands i suggested [00:00] psi7: sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-core xserver-xorg-video-openchrome; sudo apt-get install lubuntu-core lubuntu-desktop xserver-xorg-video-openchrome-hwe-16.04 [00:04] Bashing-om, nacc https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/SDs2mBSn8s/ [00:05] psi7: add xorg to the install [00:05] at the end? === bhalithan1 is now known as bhalithan [00:07] psi7: yeah, after xserver-xorg-video-openchrome-hwe-16.04 [00:10] hello, anyone know how to rip cd with rhythmbox? [00:11] Bashing-om: i think you can pick it up from here? I need top step away for the evening [00:11] nacc it finished [00:11] hi all! [00:12] hello [00:12] nacc: Tough shoes to fill. Bu t I give it my best :P [00:12] psi7: ok, i imagine you should be good to reboot, but i'd wait to see what Bashing-om says [00:13] nacc i have another problem when i use reboot or shutdown my system freezes on black screen === BrAsS_mOnKeY is now known as g2[nl] [00:13] psi7: Befor re-booting .. what shows ' dpkg -l xserver-xorg-video-openchrome-hwe-16.04 [00:15] Bashing-om, nacc https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/PFsXYVvxFF/ [00:17] psi7: can you boot to grub .. and from there start a TTY ? [00:18] how do i do that? [00:19] Bashing-om, when i use reboot after i logout from user and i see logo the pc freezes and i need to press manually power off button [00:20] psi7: UN-Good . [00:20] !sysrq | psi7 [00:20] psi7: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing slowly, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [00:21] Bashing-om, previous https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/ydsy46rp7J/ [00:22] Bashing-om, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/dDjmCtmJG9/ [00:22] anyone know how to find out my IP address in debian 9? I want to copy files to a debian machine from ubuntu across lan [00:22] ifconfig doesn't seem to exist on my debian machine [00:24] BlackDalek: ip from iproute2 replced and deprecated ifconfig [00:24] psi7: Does not look from that log that the driver installed . as we are now at a black screnn .. try and boot to a TTY : http://www.linuxandubuntu.com/home/how-to-boot-into-linux-command-line . [00:27] Bashing-om, so i reboot and open tty? [00:28] blackflow, thank you [00:28] psi7: Yes, but boot to the grub boot menu - 'e' key for edit mode and edit the linux line . [00:30] psi7: welcome to system administration :) [00:30] Bashing-om, i want to cry [00:30] Bashing-om, if i reboot we will close chat session [00:31] oh hell.... maybe someone in ubuntu can think of something -- im configuring an sftp server, and of course using classic sftp-internal with chrooting.... now this works fine in most cases, however, because im doing match on group, it prevents users from being able to get shell (which is exactly what I want) -- however, i do have a couple of users that want to use rsync, so in the old days, we would simply [00:31] create a 'duplicate' user (unique name, same uid/gid), and you could login with that one since login should parse /etc/passwd... [00:31] ive gotten all of it configured, but when attempting to authenticate, im getting a pam access denied pre-auth, and cannot for the life of me figure out where/why [00:31] on my system, in order to use REISUB you need to modify /etc/sysctl.d/10-magic-sysrq.conf to a value of 1 from 176. [00:32] psi7: HUH ?? where does this black screen play into this now ? [00:33] Bashing-om, i am on my gui right know but when i start to reboot an the end after system logs out i get a black screen and i need to power off manually [00:34] psi7: Have you rebooted since installing the driver ? [00:34] no [00:34] stochastix: well, I was told in #zfsonlinux it's considered experimental few months ago, and there still are some scary open issues involving native encryption, so I'd wait with that. [00:34] Bashing-om, no because i have this issue [00:34] Bashing-om, even if i use reboot or shutdown at the end i end up on a black screen [00:35] psi7: With the driver install, you should now have a GUI driver . [00:35] Bashing-om, let me reboot then [00:36] psi7: Yes, the driver will not take effect until the reboot . [00:36] try typing Esc on that black screen and see if it shows you any details? [00:36] sonicwind: we just got a vidie driver installed :P [00:36] video* [00:36] ah ok [00:46] comment on Launchpad: seems that 18.04 indeed broke all Nvidia dual laptops. [00:46] ubuntu never get it right, never [00:46] sad [00:47] IkoIko: thanks for the input. Goodbye [00:47] meh [00:48] construtive criticism is healthy [00:49] except this ain't constructive. [00:49] it was [00:49] constructive is "oh, shi-! X is broken. here's what should be done to fix X". [00:50] with no alternative/solution suggestion, it's not constructive criticism. [00:50] hello there comunity. greetings from spain. please, any idea about what tools you recomend to create augmented reality in ubuntu? good time for you! [00:50] IkoIko: regurgitating some rando comment on a bug as gospel and then making a generalized negative comment about the entire project, all the while posting from a completely different distro is quite the opposite of constructive [00:50] simplistic crutructive criticism [00:50] IkoIko: Funny I have never had an issue with nvidia: dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia >> nvidia-driver-390 390.67-0ubuntu1 . [01:03] this is a serious regression in my opin [01:04] Hello, I am having some trouble with my system, and I have asked about it on AskUbuntu as well, but couldn't figure out the solution. Would be glad if anybody have any ideas to try to solve it: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1047485/asus-g550-screen-goes-black-after-resume-from-suspend-even-though-the-system-is [01:04] there's always some regression, in some software, for some users/conditions, whenever something changes. Pareto principle in action. [01:05] Pareto principle in action.?? [01:05] oh never mind i get it [01:09] IkoIko: do you need help fixing the problem? [01:09] im not sure it can be fixed, im all over lauchpad looking for solutions but theres nothing really working. [01:10] IkoIko: do you want help fixing the problem? As in, are you able to login to the machine in question and troubleshoot? [01:10] i dont understand your quetion [01:11] IkoIko: This is a support channel where we help people with their ubuntu issues. Are you here to ask for help and troubleshoot the issue or not? [01:12] apparently this is a fix here, https://github.com/matthieugras/Prime-Ubuntu-18.04 But i dont know how to impliment it. [01:13] IkoIko: that link gives step by step instructions. If you don't know how to follow step by step instructions, how do you expect to fix anything? [01:13] i have learning disabilities [01:14] The third paragraph of the README.md being very important to understand. [01:14] IkoIko: and yet no problem with "constructive criticism" [01:14] *brother* [01:16] Naturally, make sure you have git and git clone this repository. I dont know what that means. [01:17] IkoIko: the first result on google for "how to clone a git repository" brings up https://services.github.com/on-demand/github-cli/clone-repo-cli [01:17] IkoIko: again with step by step instructions [01:17] IkoIko: The third paragraph of the README.md being very important to understand. [01:19] hello! i'm having difficulty in connecting to wpa2 enterprise with peap on ubuntu 18.04 [01:19] i can connect to other types of wifi, but this one fails [01:21] how do i make a file witht he name cd prime_socket/src [01:23] How do I verify that my Ubuntu ISO hasn't been modified in transit? releases.ubuntu.com isn't available over HTTPS and I don't see where Ubuntu advertises the public key I should use to validate SHA256SUMS.gpg [01:25] I literally had a spider crawling on my screen, and was wondering if it could be malware, if there's a physical spider in the monitor, or if it's something that the aport error thing does, because that was a window that was open. [01:25] unclefoo: it's a box and link on the download page.... https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-how-to-verify-ubuntu#0 [01:25] When I hovered my cursor over it, I couldn't see the spider, so. [01:25] The cursor was white. [01:29] blackflow: So I am supposed to use the keys advertised in that tutorial; they aren't just examples? [01:29] 0xFBB75451 0xEFE21092 [01:29] Sorry, I'm not trying to be a troll. [01:30] !ot | Goop [01:30] Goop: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please register with NickServ (see /msg ubottu !register) and use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [01:30] unclefoo: read step 4, it explains how you see the key fingerpritns and how you request keys from the server using them [01:30] leftyfb, it's related, I wanted to know if apport displays a spider. [01:30] Right, but if the signature has been tampered with then I'll just request the bad guys keys. [01:30] Goop: now you're trolling [01:31] Unless that key server is only available to Ubuntu devs or something? [01:31] unclefoo: if you think someone is messing with your transit to ubuntu.com, then no amount of checking checksums is going to help you [01:32] HTTPS would work fine. [01:32] And so will gpg signatures, if I know which public key to verify with. [01:32] unclefoo: except you just said "releases.ubuntu.com isn't available over HTTPS" [01:32] Agreed. [01:33] unclefoo: you're requesting the keys from keyserver.ubuntu.com. if those fingerprints have been tampered with, so must be the keyserver to serve them, and then all bets are off. [01:33] blackflow: If an attacker is serving me a bad ISO and SHA256SUMS through my plaintext HTTP, then the fingerprints are going to be for the bad guys keys. [01:34] sudo make install make: *** No rule to make target 'install'. Stop. [01:34] I shouldn't have said "tamper". [01:35] IkoIko: The third paragraph of the README.md being very important to understand. [01:36] what does it start with? [01:36] IkoIko: "This is not for Ubuntu beginners. If things go wrong, ..." [01:37] blackflow: ummm [01:37] IkoIko: what does the 3rd paragraph start with? You don't know what a paragraph is? [01:37] unclefoo: well I suppose you're right, without pre-shared keys it's rather a chicken and the egg problem. even https is broken in that regard. [01:37] its all messed up [01:37] blackflow: We have Certificate Authorities to "solve" the problem with HTTPS. [01:38] unclefoo: we don't. CAs can be corrupt. CAs are corrupt. CAs are sometimes booted out of trust chains due to that. See: StartCom. See: Comodo breach. See: what-was-that-chinese-one-that-google-dropped. See: Symantec. [01:38] Sure so we're going to get DNSSEC and Certificate Transparency. [01:39] CAs _cannot_ be truested. https is "good enough" to protect against a skiddie down the road, nothing else. [01:39] And we also have HPKP. [01:39] And I can manually pin keys for non-browser applications. [01:39] yeah but it's still the chicken and the egg problem. [01:39] No? [01:39] I see, because I don't have the root cert for the CA? [01:39] And I have to trust the browser guys to give it to me? [01:40] of course. you can also nuke the ca-certificates and be your own CA. the mechanism itself and DH kex is good (enough). it's the CAs that are bad apples. [01:40] With key pinning I can just trust a single CA. [01:40] that's the thing, you have to trust the CA has not given out your cert's private key somewhere [01:41] Or like you are saying, prune most of the root certificates from my device. [01:41] even if you pin it, no guarantee the private key is not compromised. a bit offtopic here though. [01:41] Well, the CA might give out his own private key but he doesn't have mine. [01:41] Right. [01:41] So more on topic, what do you currently do to verify your Ubuntu download hasn't been modified in-transit? [01:42] mutliple mirrors. [01:42] You download from multiple mirrors, calculate all the checksums, then compare them? [01:42] unclefoo: I'm not sure there is room for the two of us in this world (Or at least this channel) [01:43] unclefoo: I don't assume someone has gone through the trouble of creating their own fork of ubuntu and are injecting it into my download stream the moment I'm downloading the iso [01:43] Well, being the senior... [01:43] a "solution" to broken CA problem is Moxie Marlinspike's convergency which basically states that instead of one CA, you have a peer network that verifies each other. so, multiple mirrors, over https, is significantly reducing the likelihood of compromise [01:43] unclefoo: no just check the checksums from multiple mirrors. [01:43] the ISO itself I donwload once. [01:44] blackflow: So I wonder, if there isn't a publicly announced Ubuntu public key how are these mirrors verifying the ISOs they get? [01:44] Whatever the mirrors are doing to securely grab the ISO, I should just do the same thing. [01:44] unclefoo: I surrender. ;) [01:45] leftyfb: What if attacker just leaves his MiTM online waiting for you to download something? [01:45] unclefoo: or the mirrors are being pushed to, say rsync over ssh or something. [01:45] And who says it's targetted only at you, but maybe everyone using your ISP. [01:45] blackflow: good point. [01:45] need to setup dhcp isc-dhcp-server on ubuntu 16.04 server, what are best links for instructions? [01:45] unclefoo: Again, I don't assume such things until I have reason to assume such things [01:46] It's well established that bad guys are tampering with plaintext HTTP sessions. [01:46] unclefoo: I will admit I don't know what they use in the background. at some point you either trust it's not compromised or youre 100% paranoid with absolute zero trust in the software..... or are 100% sure the ISO is correc but you run all that on a system with IME :) (offtopic tho, so we better move this to #ubuntu-discuss if you want) [01:46] wr: sudo apt install isc-dhcp-server # and then read the documentation on isc-dhcp-server [01:47] leftyfb, would it be https://help.ubuntu.com/community/isc-dhcp-server ? [01:47] unclefoo: show me where this scenario with iso's from ubuntu.com has been established [01:47] I see, you don't think someone would specifically tamper with Ubuntu ISOs. [01:48] gogeta: you wanted to object about something? :) [01:50] ubuntu 18.04 hexchat disconnects after connecting then reconnects and is okay [01:52] what is this? make: *** No rule to make target 'install'.

It's currently running on Windows XP and it sucks so much. I'd prefer XUbuntu, but not sure if it isn't too heavy if XP is too much [10:14] puppy linux, bef848f [10:15] maybe mint xfce [10:16] Is mint xfce any different from XUbuntu in terms of performance? [10:17] I would say it's somewhat lighter, but been a long time, so hard to remember.. [10:18] No. LXDE might run better than xfce though. You could try Lubuntu [10:18] i ran mint for several years on old xp 1gb computers, ran fine. [10:19] i might be to big now days, haven't followed the specs, so you'd have to read up. [10:19] Never run LXDE, is it customizabvle at least half as good as xfce? [10:20] ive not had any experience with LXDE [10:24] Looking at r/unixporn LXDE can be made somewhat pretty [10:24] I'll try it, thanks [10:27] hello all. Would like to know if there is any way to install dropbox on ubuntu 18.04 LTS. keep getting permission error while starting and fix from dropbox site is not working. Please? === metalliko is now known as M3t4ll1k0 [10:39] Does anyone know which address is most appropriate for requesting that people fix an open bug with an Ubuntu package? [10:40] There's an issue with the Vim version in Bionic that can be fixed by updating Vim to a more recent patch version. [10:40] gabriel, You may want to pastebin or post an image of the error. [10:41] JimBuntu, the error is as followes: [10:41] Couldn't start Dropbox. [10:41] This is usually because of a permissions error. Storing your home folder on a network share can also cause an error. [10:46] gabriel, I don't use 18.04, but I may be able to help. You may want to try starting dropbox from the command line, so you can hopefully see more error information.

[12:39] Hi, I'm running Ubuntu 18.04 on Wayland. It's working great, except that my mouse scroll is behaving abnormally. When I try to scroll down, it sometimes scrolls up and vice-versa. I appreciate any help. [12:39] rafaelrcenteio: ah, do you have natural scrolling enabled? [12:40] rafaelrcenteio: check at your mouse settings to enable/disable this option [12:40] lotuspsychje: Thanks for the reply. I will check. [12:41] lotuspsychje: No, I don't have natural scrolling enabled. [12:41] rafaelrcenteio: try disable and check again? [12:42] rafaelrcenteio: i mean toggle on/off to see [12:43] lotuspsychje: same thing. Just to make sure If I expressed myself correctly. What happens is, when I'm scrolling down continually, it goes down, down, and suddenly, goes up, and then goes down again, etc. [12:43] rafaelrcenteio: ah thats something else..does it do that by itself? [12:44] rafaelrcenteio: what does that? [12:44]
