[00:00] also gddrescue [00:00] combined with pv, it's a swiss knife of moving data :) [00:00] or converting obscure tape backups [00:01] nacc, You have any idea why a new install using 16.04.4 ISO and doing an apt dist-upgrade would be coming up as 16.04.5? [00:01] thanks for that hint! pv is nice indeed. [00:01] :) [00:06] FroMaster: this is actually fine. it's just earlier than we assumed, since 16.04.5 is not released, yet. but you'd normally expect to be able to 'upgrade' to the newer point release by apt dist-upgrade === Matador_ is now known as Matador [00:07] I guess when they fix the 4.15 kernel, they'll update 16.04.5 to it... [00:07] That will fix my underlying issue :D [00:07] i assume this is likely to coincide, yes. but not certain. === yokel_ is now known as yokel [00:25] Could anyone assist me? I just switched to Bionic from Xenial-based Zorin OS... The upgrades after installing the iso have me stuck loading GNOME into oblivion.... It never boots fully. [00:26] From the iso*** [00:27] I see its an existing bug but the workarounds dont make any sense. In recovery mode, APT believes the internet is inaccessible and wpa_supplicant is echoing this. [00:27] this channel only supports ubuntu, which doesn't support in-place migrations from other OS. [00:28] I mean ubuntu was working fully before its own automated updates. [00:28] I was *using* bionic for like 2 hours or so. [00:29] It was a fresh distro, with its own partition. The old OS was wiped entirely. [00:30] oh, so you just copied data from the old OS, but not packages? [00:30] No. [00:30] Nothing from the old OS exists. [00:31] I installed Bionic using a usb drive. [00:31] alright [00:31] It worked. It theb updated itself and asked for a restart. [00:31] Now it hangs for ever on the boot screen. [00:31] veeseaczar2, try reinstalling just the grub bootloader [00:32] veeseaczar2, if you press control-alt-f3 do you get a terminal [00:32] veeseaczar2: can you boot to a previous kernel image? [00:32] Right im in there i think. I have the option to run as root. Are we thinking of the same thing? [00:33] veeseaczar2: i think you're now in the recovery menu [00:33] It fails on both 4.4.1-x.x.25 and 20... The only two kernel images on the machine. [00:34] veeseaczar2: 4.4.1? bionic should come with a much newer kernel [00:34] Let me double check the exact kernels... [00:34] I just said the number i remember. Let me verify. [00:34] (I think i pulled that outta my ass) [00:34] !info linux-image-generic bionic [00:34] linux-image-generic (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image. In component main, is optional. Version 4.15.0.23.25 (bionic), package size 2 kB, installed size 14 kB [00:35] I have 4.15.0-23 and 20 generic. [00:35] Neither boot. [00:36] well, they boot, just not to the desktop. otherwise (not booting at all) you would not be able to get to the recovery menu [00:36] Sorry. Yes youre right. [00:36] Yeah they hang forever on an attempt to load Gnome. [00:37] you could look at /var/log/syslog and try to find out why it would not boot [00:37] Okay [00:37] So im going back into theroot shell now to do that [00:37] hmm, not loading gnome, are these older integrated intel graphics? or an atom cpu? [00:38] AMD a8. [00:38] Old boym [00:38] how is ubuntu installed on uefi? [00:39] Im illiterate as to the meaning of that question [00:40] I switched ro CSM if thats whats your asking [00:40] veeseaczar2: i'm not sure whether this would help there, but you could try replacing gdm by lithdm [00:40] veeseaczar2: i don't think wr was addressing you, but asking a question on their own [00:40] So id love.to. Apt will not see the network connection [00:41] veeseaczar2: you only have wireless, no ethernet? [00:43] Coreect. Unless i repurpose the ethernet cable at the back of the router. [00:43] Which inwill now try [00:44] veeseaczar2: once this is done, press ctrl-d until you're back on the recovery menu, then enable networking there. [00:45] veeseaczar2: also try to edit /etc/gdm/custom.conf and remove the # in front of : #WaylandEnable=false [00:47] Okay. Once i do this inwill be disconnected from this chat. How do I make sure it defaults to lightdm and not gdm? [00:48] The lte signal wherw i am is non existent. I just found out. [00:50] veeseaczar2: sudo apt update; sudo apt install lightdm; sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm [00:51] veeseaczar2: but try just the configuration file change first [00:51] Alright. [00:51] veeseaczar2: i need to leave for now, good luck [00:51] Many thanks === ubuntu is now known as Guest81380 [00:55] masaki: you think reinstalling the grub bootloader would work? [00:57] veeseaczar2, it's worth a try, i had an issue like that when dual booting windows [00:58] How do i achieve this? [00:58] veeseaczar2, it's also easy to try. boot up your live drive/cd [00:58] K [00:58] veeseaczar2, run boot-repair [00:58] veeseaczar2, click 'recommended repair' [00:59] veeseaczar2, reboot your system, and the original boot menu will be restored [01:02] dns_masq just slows down my DNS queries (drastically). how do I just turn it off so I don't have to `service dns_masq stop` anymore? [01:02] er, dnsmasq [01:13] masaki: [01:16] veeseaczar2, did it work? [01:21] No. I formatted my usb back to a thumb drive. Im using a friends computer just to grab Xubuntu. [01:21] Im gonna start all over again. [01:22] Tomreyn made it seem to me like he expected the issue was due to the older apu. [01:22] So maybe a lighterweight distro is the answer. [01:22] doug16k, why not just uninstall it? "apt purge dnsmasq" [01:23] veeseaczar2, Ah I see yeah hope it works out [01:24] Sorry to be clear... I boned up by almost immediately restoring my usb back tonstorage after install. [01:31] Anyone know how to fix ethernet not being detected? [01:31] I tried installing some wireless adapter drivers, failed but after that ethernet quit working.. === dan_ is now known as Guest9024 [01:36] Hey, I have been struggling with a fresh ubuntu 18.04 installation on my old laptop (msi ge40). Periotically, one of my cpu threads (I think this laptop only has 4 cores and 8 threads) peaks to 100% cpu usage because of the kworker. I tried editing crontab to disable gpe06 and gpe17, but this doesn't work consistently. I am new to linux and I am still guessing at the issue. Could it be my wireless card? Dropbox? None of the processes really stood out. I [01:36] think I ran into a similar issue on an earlier version of mint before I just revert back to windows to fix wifi issues and overheating. === Tobi[m]1 is now known as Tobi[m]2 [01:40] Guest9024: kworker is part of the system kernel. It's there to handle the Input/Output of the computer. It is normal for it to spike from time to time. If you have a lot of applications running at one time, this can also cause spikes, even if those applications are mostly idle. [01:42] It spikes to 100% and stays there. I don't think this is normal. When it gets stuck at 100%, eventually the cpu temp rises to 70C. [01:42] Guest9024: You can also follow the advisement of this article to generate traces of what's going on in your machine. https://askubuntu.com/a/421916 [01:42] o/ pragmaticenigma [01:43] Grabbing a few snap shots over some amount of time, and see what is most commonly displaying. the case of the poster in that forum, it was their ethernet card [01:43] 'alo Budgii [01:44] Earlier results seems to show that it's my wifi card (killer) erroring out and thus causing kworker to overwork. [01:45] Greetings! [01:45] Guest9024: that is very possible to be the root cause then. that may indicate the wireless chipset isn't being properly identified or it's configuration isn't optimal [01:47] Budgii, I apologize, but i don't handle accept Private/Direct Messages here. For your question, you may find the channel ##windows to be helpful [01:48] thanks, i'll check there. may I ask why? we had in the past. [01:50] I filed a kernel bug and was told to try the kernel found here -> http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.18-rc5 I downloaded them and used dpkg to install them, and got errors -> https://gist.githubusercontent.com/doug65536/bad74d479d3eb1341d72a244000e393d/raw/86e801d0d05dbb05f2ce9c06242d54df9312223f/gistfile1.txt [01:50] is my system all screwed up now? [01:52] I've never successfully installed a kernel on ubuntu in my entire life. I've never seen it actually work once [01:52] only dist-upgrade ones have ever worked [01:52] doug16k: I don't believe your system is bad... you might want to change your grub settings to make sure you can easily boot to one of the other kernels if the new default one fails [01:53] "ERROR (dkms apport): kernel package linux-headers-4.18.0-041800rc5-generic is not supported" means apport doesn't support the new kernel, but the kernel installed okay? [01:54] doug16k: My recommendation is to follow up with that trace in your bug ticket. It's best if you keep things in one place. I know it's hard to wait for a response, but in the end the assistance it will help others is invaluable [01:54] doug16k: The person who recommended you install that kernel is going to be the best candidate to field your questions [01:54] ok thanks [01:55] doug16k: The good news is there is a way to get you back and running if things go south [01:55] this is the bug in case anyone is curious -> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1781016 [01:55] Launchpad bug 1781016 in linux (Ubuntu) "Slow flood of do_IRQ: No irq for vector" [Medium,Incomplete] === littlebit1 is now known as littlebit [01:56] pragmaticenigma, theoretically I can go into advanced options in grub and pick the normal kernel if it goes south, right? [01:58] yes, when you boot (hold shift if you haven't changed settings) and see the grub menu, you will be able to select one of the other kernels. [01:58] ok thanks, trying it now :) === ubuntu is now known as Guest29943 [02:03] doug16k: looks like you got booted back up :-) [02:43] Can anyone help me troubleshoot ethernet issue? Ethernet quit working after trying to install some wireless drivers for a netgear USB adapter. Not sure where to go. [02:43] yep, worked fine enough. strangely I get a nouveau message in dmesg, and additional drivers says I am using nvidia driver, but oh well :D [02:54] Budgii, if you `ip addr` do you see an ip address (or listing for your ethernet device)? [02:55] is that in terminal? [02:55] I'll have to boot into that OS to find out [02:55] Unfortunately it will kick me from this [02:55] I may dive in this weekend to resolve it [02:56] But for now, if I do see an IP address, what do i do, guiverc_t? [02:57] can you `ping 8.8.8.8` Budgii (to see if you can get external, routing exists etc) [02:57] Hey guys, im having a problem with svftpd and I've looked all over online and nothing is helping. Everything connects, but when I try to login it gives me a "421 Login Incorrect". I know its the right login though, and its not similar to the 503 error im seeing online. [02:57] fyi: 8.8.8.8 is google's dns; easy to remember :) [02:58] guiverc_t, to be more specific, log into my ubuntu, go to terminal and ping 8.8.8? [02:58] without a connection? [02:59] Budgii, 8.8.8.8; you'll get a good response if works; or network unreachable (if not connected), or long long delay etc... [02:59] Hi folks! [02:59] In Chinese culture, the number 8 has a superstitious value meaning "prosperity." [02:59] I just upgraded to 18 from 16, and the pc now takes over 1 minute to shut down. [02:59] in 16 it only took 5 seconds. [02:59] guiverc_t, i'm assuming no response. If i am unable to reach a webpage [02:59] So, Google is probably regarded very nicely in China for that IP address alone. [02:59] in which case, what would be the next step? [03:00] Is there anything that has gone wrong on install to cause this please? [03:00] Budgii, no.. unless you used numbers (real ip addresses to access web page).. why I used 8.8.8.8 & not google.com - to see if your issue was DNS (domain name...) [03:00] Well, I just tried to install some netgear drivers for a USB and then ethernet wouldn't work after [03:01] even with those, the wifi would not work either. [03:01] I'll boot quickly and see what I can find. [03:01] Hate to log off. Lol. [03:02] its really frustrating when no one else online has had your problem aha [03:02] yes sir [03:02] brb [03:03] i can't find any thread about my error [03:03] only a 503 [03:03] its driving me insane [03:05] Does anybody know how could I have autoconf dump the config.log to stdout (on a failed build)? [03:06] I return [03:07] Network unreachable 'ping 8.8.8.8 [03:07] Advice [03:07] accepted. :D [03:08] Budgii, `sudo lshw -C network` & pastebin results (do you know how?) [03:08] !pastebin [03:08] 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. [03:09] How can I pastebin with no network? [03:09] :) (hadn't thought of that sorry...) [03:09] Haha, no worriies. [03:10] okay summarize; does it recognize a ethernet card? [03:10] * guiverc_t red face begins to lessen [03:11] guiverc_t, i'll give you the run down. Had ethernet working fine. Moved, ethernet was not as convienient having a cable across the floor. Attempted to install some netgear drivers for a USB adapter, 'seemingly' worked but failed me. Ethernet no longer worked after that. [03:12] Found the slow issue. I was searching for version 18, but it was happenning to people in 16, which I didn't have the issue in 16. Found it now. "sudo systemctl disable cups-browsed.service" [03:12] sorry I meant summarize the results of the lshw -C network... for my machine it seems ethernet, lists capabilities & lotsa tech stuff, 1gb/s etc. configuration .. driver=e1000e etc. looks okay [03:13] Not really needing ubuntu tonight.. i may try fixing this another night [03:13] (i'm trying to see if it's recognized; the command shows errors; or possibly it doens't list your ethernet device at all [hoping it's not this!].. [03:14] I did the ping, it seems its not recognized [03:14] but i mean [03:14] Budgii, understood; you also get someone better at this than me :) [03:14] yeah I see where you are going with it, no problem. appreciate your input [03:14] no, you are great. [03:14] pinging issue doesn't relate to unrecognized card; could be it can't recognize connection (but card okay) [03:15] O [03:15] In that case, BRB. [03:15] going to use caps for clarity here: 'SUDO LSHW -C NETWORK' [03:15] is that correct? [03:16] Budgii, a last hail-mary try - try `sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager` (restart network manager service) [03:17] yeah but all lowercase.. (*nix is case sensitive) [03:17] -C in upper case [03:17] I have photographed these messages. I will return shortly. thank you for confirming. :D [03:18] if i try and install xfce or mate DE, can i just do it without getting all of the applications. like can i just get the desktop [03:18] to test out to see if its faster and less taxing on my little 2 in 1 machine [03:19] ghostnik11, yes you can, but I don't know the package names. also if you use an app for one DE in another DE you could be wasting memory so a lighter DE may not have the intended memory/speed boost if you don't change apps... [03:20] also the version of Ubuntu makes a difference, eg. MATE is now all GTK+3, but older Ubuntu MATE was GTK+2 (or in-between), making software choice more significant... [03:21] ghostnik11, why there is Gedit for GNOME 3, Pluma for MATE, Mousepad for XFCE, Leafpad for LXDE -- all editors that use libs already in memory; far more efficient than using an editor for the wrong DE that causes libs for two DE's to be needed in memory... [03:22] Is it possible to do a do-release-upgrade of 16.04 without waiting for 18.04.1 (if I'm feeling extra impatient)? [03:23] k_sze[work], you can try, but i bet it'll tell you there are no upgrades found... (or whatever its error is) [03:23] (yeah it is - with -d) [03:25] I return [03:26] It is recognizing the PCIe wireless card. I guess I should delv into getting those drivers installed [03:26] I didn't try ethernet again, after that reset cmd. that would mean wifi would go down, others in the house would lose connection and doing important task. [03:26] Glad to know it's seeing the new adapter. [03:26] Thanks for your help! [03:29] Hello [03:29] Is there any way i can recover some files that i removed :/ [03:31] The problem is i cant access the internet from my laptop [03:31] And i cant install any tools [03:31] guiverc_t, so i would need to basically test out an environment then delete the other ones that i don't want to use? [03:31] thugXYZ, i believe testdisk & photorec but I'm no expert - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery [03:32] I cant install them guiverc_t because i cant access the internet [03:32] Need help please @.@ [03:33] ghostnik11, ideally yes; using your workflow & apps (which would take time, as whilst my example editor apps are all very similar; they're not all identical). you could also test using 'live' (ubuntu flavor install media) if you didn't want to install.. [03:34] thugXYZ, i'd not touch your machine until you had them restored. I'd be using a 'live' environment so as to not overwrite the file entries, or inodes etc.... === guiverc_t is now known as guiverc [03:48] guiverc, okay i will have to try both because i have a 2 in 1 asus t100taf with only 2gb of ram (or 1.9gb) with a 32gb mmcblk hard drive so, i want to see which one will be faster than unity and cinnamon because i have tried unity on this machine which i have ubuntu 16.04 but unity is pretty but takes time to do stuff, and cinnamon is faster but still lags. so i have to try booth and see [03:49] guiverc, i do know that i am going from heaviest amounts of resources to less as: Unity > cinnamon > mate > xfce > lxde; so the heaviest ones are unity and cinnamon [03:50] unity & cinnamon are both GTK+3 & won't be light on memory or resources.. xfce will be the fastest (18.04 MATE uses GTK+3 too so won't be as light as say 16.04 LTS) [03:51] XFCE is slower (taking longer) moving to GTK+ v3; (gtk+2 is lighter than gtk+3) [03:53] you can disable some of the pretty things in Unity making it faster (lighter) [03:54] i'd agree with your order; but things change; eg. MATE using GTK+2 is lighter than MATE using GTK+3; LXDE (GTK+2) is moving to Qt (LXQt) rather than GTK+3 [04:03] I had an OS drive fail, got a new drive and installed ubuntu on it, now I am trying to rebuild a RAID partition [04:03] I get to mdadm --detail --scan >> /etc/mdadm.conf and it says permission denied [04:06] guiverc, so right now the ones in the repository are: xfce (gtk+3), mate (gtk+3) or do they have gtk+2 by default for both of them in the repos? [04:06] codenomics_, rather obvious, but did you use `sudo` ? [04:07] yeah [04:07] guiverc, that was my first thought too lol [04:08] ghostnik11, mate was gnome2 forked; gnome2 used gtk+2 so mate used forked gtk+2 libs .. it was being moved to gtk+3 progressively (now is using gtk+3) so it depends which version you are using... (16.04 MATE is lighter than 18.04 MATE..) -- xfce is well behind mate in move to gtk+3 [04:10] gtk~=gimp.toolkit; gtk+~=gimp&gnome.toolkit ; Qt = Q toolkit; used by KDE, LXQt... [04:11] (also Qt5 is lighter than Qt4) [04:13] guiverc, thanks i didn't know what those stood for, so i will have to try them all on my one system. because its hard to run a usb live boot on a machine that windows basically told manufacture on to make it dificult to put any other operating system. i know its not good to run all these different desktop environments on one machine [04:17] fyi ghostnik11 - if you have a android phone/tablet, android uses Qt [04:18] Hi [04:19] does it take alot to jump from 5. Prepare to install Ubuntu to 6. Allocate drive space? [04:20] qwebirc8077, jump from 5 to 6? i don't follow sorry? (want to elaborate?) [04:21] WHEN INSTALLING [04:21] IT ASK We advise enabling both Download updates and Install third-party software [04:22] so you click to check both and then does it takes a long time to load? [04:22] i cant jump to the next screennyet [04:23] it's probably safer to download & install updates during install; myself I don't (as I point mine at a local mirror before I update) [04:24] so it isbnormal it takes a long time to allow mw tonjump tonthe next phase of thebinstallation [04:24] if i checked bpth [04:24] qwebirc8077, i don't know; it would depend on your setup, your network speed etc. the average time was 18mins for 18.04 installs so far; but no machine is 'average' [04:25] guiverc, yeah i have an android phone and it runs pretty smoothly but i feel like my android phone battery with all the stuff that i have going on in background drops a lot of power and thats just some basic stuff. so basically your saying that LXDE would run like android smooth? while xfce and mate might move a little more sluggish. here is my spec i am using an intel atom cpu @ 1.33GHz x 4 (cherry trail i think is code [04:25] name) and intel atom processor graphics card and 1.9Gb of ram [04:25] i have a 32gb mmcblk hard drive that is soldered onto the mother board then have another 32gb microsd card also for some expandable storage [04:26] i see thanks its been like 20 but my netvisnt the greatest atm [04:29] no; android using Qt was only a fyi. On an atom cpu I'd go LXDE or XFCE myself probably, but what apps, and what you want to do will dicate best for you (try & avoid using apps for another DE if at all possible; to avoid memory-waste by having multiple libs that do the same thing in memory..) [04:33] guiverc, yeah so i will tr LXDE and XFCE instead of mate. so i will try and install both now then take off cinnamon? or do you think i should logout and boot back into unity desktop then uninstall cinnamon before i put on lxde and xfce [04:36] if you have the disk space ghostnik11; I'd leave cinnamon there, so you can logout & then compare... you'll have larger updates (both will upgrade), and you'll get best results if you compare one DE's (leafpad) app with that DE (lxde), and not say gedit (unity/cinnamon's editor) in all.. but the best for you is whatever apps you settle with using... [04:43] Mormons also believe that there are other gods and goddesses outside the Godhead, such as a Heavenly Mother who is the wife of God the Father, and that faithful Mormons may attain godhood in the afterlife. Oneness Pentecostalism defines salvation as repentance, full-submersion water baptism (in the name of Jesus Christ) and baptism in the Holy Spirit, with the evidence of speaking in other [04:43] tongues. [04:44] Raybih: not here [04:44] Is Mormon a new distribution? [04:45] gsvtest: dont feed offtopic please [04:45] sorry :( [04:49] guiverc, yeah usually i just use basic stuff, like i need stuff for studying like the standard document viewer,terminal, vlc, mplayer, anki, calibre, my office applications, txt editor, and etc. oh by the way all i have is 5.3 gb of disk space left? should i still try it, as the way you suggested? [04:51] 5.3gb is plenty of disk space to try; as long as you aren't going to do-release-upgrade (skip to next version) anytime soon (that needs space!)... just try & remember to delete what you don't use when you're happy (before do-release-upgrade anyway) [04:55] guiverc, i can't, i will be with ubuntu 16.04 till they don't do anymore long term support. my device is super specific and 16.04 runs great on it. with no lag so i will stay with it so i shouldn't really have any release upgrades. also the other thing is i have android dualbooted along with ubuntu 16.04 so it takes up space on my machine also [04:55] :) [05:40] I've just bought a game for Linux from HumbleBundle, Trine3. And when I try to run it, I see a huge blank window that creates a huge growing memory leak. They provide their own dependencies in their lib folder. When running ldd all seems fine. I'm running on Intel UHD 620, OpelGL 4.5, they recommend nVidia propritary with OpenGL 4.1 Any ideas? :( === ubuntu is now known as Guest7095 [06:06] hi.. https://imgur.com/a/usovk9E here is my setting for software and update.. i want to know if these are correct or i need to change someting ? [06:09] guiverc, okay so i thought i installed lxde but it doesn't show up when i logout but xfce is a lot faster than cinnamon [06:11] ghostnik11, i don't know, but you may see lxde after reboot (unless only part of it was installed). [06:11] looks fine to me snake-venom [06:12] Hi, everyone, I am trying to load two character sets in ubuntu virtual terminal, but only one is getting loaded, whichever is first in the list. Any idea why this is happenning? [06:14] ghostnik11: you would be shocked at how fast plasma 5 kde is [06:14] I'm on 18.04 trying to use adb to connect to my Android phone, but it can't seem to find the device. "adb devices" shows a blank list, even with sudo, but fastboot finds the phone. I've tried the udev rule I see all over google, but that do anything, either. Any ideas what might be the issue? [06:15] didn't* do anything, either. [06:15] guiverc, should not we enable " Source " ? [06:15] snake-venom, only if you want to download the source code for programs, make changes, recompile etc... [06:15] no then :) [06:19] guiverc, well i went with lxde from respository? [06:21] Hi! Does anyone here run ubuntu on a macbook pro? I have the problem with a flickering screen but can't seem to find a solution that works for me. [06:23] Hell, my screen flickers in macOS [06:24] guiverc, is there another way i can check to see if i have it via terminal [06:24] ghostnik11, my current install was standard ubuntu, `lubuntu-desktop` (xubuntu-desktop..) has been added (is running now); but I vaguely recall having to reboot to see it [06:24] gogeta, yeah i don't have such specs, i did reboot [06:25] guiverc, i rebooted [06:25] guiverc, still no change [06:27] ghostnik11, if you were to `sudo apt install lubuntu-desktop` it'll list a number of packages that will be installed; you're likely missing one or more of them (plus probably other apps you don't need, but come with lubuntu) === mouses is now known as mous [06:28] note: i'm not saying to type 'y' to install; it was to look at what will be installed; and hopefully get a clue (though you'll probably not recognize what you need; but you'll see how much extra it'll pull in to see if you're comfortable to try that) === profess is now known as vile [06:44] guiverc, okay i finished via terminal will reboot [06:55] guiverc, okay so it changed my entire system to lubuntu [07:02] guiverc, okay so since its now straight lubuntu, i would have to do: sudo apt-get remove lubuntu [07:02] got a noob question where should I put or how can I run a sh script when the machine is starting up/ [07:02] Hi guys, so I *tried* to install lightdm, but despite the simplicity of this task, something went wrong. All of a sudden when I tried to log in, I was in a log in loop (entered user/pass, hit enter, creds would be accepted but the login screen would reappear). I did a reconfigure on the lightdm package and set gdm3 back as the login manager - same issue. So I mv'd .Xauthority to .Xauthority.bak and now I [07:03] there is no rc.local [07:03] can login, but it's not my usual window manager / desktop. What will I need to do to reconfigure the defaults? [07:03] abusado: at boot? Or at login? [07:03] at boot.. not login [07:03] hello all [07:03] it should run without logging in that's what I want to achieve [07:07] anyone? [07:07] abusado: what's the script going to do [07:08] and what do you mean "no rc.local" [07:08] just simple things run the java to enable the application server [07:09] wanted to run the application server automatically [07:09] right [07:10] then you don't use a shell script, you write a systemd service [07:10] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/systemd [07:12] how about when shutting down how to automatically shutdown the application server? is it still systemd? [07:12] yes [07:12] thanks ppf gonna try it === ubuntu is now known as Guest82060 [07:24] Hi, everyone, I am trying to load two character sets in ubuntu virtual terminal, but only one is getting loaded, whichever is first in the list. Any idea why this is happenning? [07:26] vikash: how would you use two character sets simultaneously? [07:27] ppf: I have some application which prints/displays characters from both character sets [07:27] that's a buggy application then [07:28] ppf: why is that? [07:28] because two character sets at the same time makes no sense [07:30] ppf: say you have a file which contains some Arabic characters and some english character, then how would you display it on the terminal? [07:30] that's not character sets [07:30] a character set is something like utf8 [07:31] which encodes a mapping between bit representation and characters [07:31] having two makes zero sense [07:31] Hello === graingert_ is now known as graingert === codedmart_ is now known as codedmart === dc13ff_ is now known as dc13ff [07:32] I have a question. After I changed the video card and the driver with nvidia-390 I have problems with Libreoggice and Google Maps. 50% of the times I open LibreOffice or Google Maps the whole Computer freeze. [07:32] ppf: alright, so I guess, in my case it is two fonts === bn_work_ is now known as bn_work [07:33] ppf: any idea how do I load two fonts in linux virtual terminal [07:33] Eee I mean Libreoffice [07:33] the terminal uses only one font [07:33] ppf: terminal can use two fonts, I have done it on a ubuntu machine [07:34] ppf: but is is not working on a beagleboard [07:34] well which terminal are we talking about? [07:34] Hi! [07:34] ppf: linux virtual consoles [07:35] raw ttys? [07:35] ppf: yes [07:36] those especially have only a single font [07:43] Any connection between the LibreOffice and Google Maps and the video card driver? Why only these programs freeze the computer? === ucc_ is now known as Rumen === Richard is now known as Guest58728 [08:07] Hey guys [08:08] hey Denafig [08:16] Does anyone know if it's possible top hide the process list from htop ?? I only want to show the meter section.... === tst is now known as Guest70290 [08:17] Already checked htop's settings, but can't see anything.... [08:17] can you turn your computer on automatically at a certain time? [08:17] i know oyu can turn your computer off with sudo shutdown [08:18] I am running ubuntu 18.04 with an eGPU attached [08:18] my machine has a 1050, and the egpu is a 1080 [08:18] Ubuntu reconzies the 1080, nvidia-smi will show both gpus. [08:19] However, i cant seem to start a new xscreen for the 1080 [08:19] With every xorg.conf file I try, ubuntu freezes on boot [08:19] Anyone have any idea what is going on? [08:21] MyGfsHusbandSuck, since the computer isn't running; you can't get Ubuntu to do it. Many BIOSes provides a schedule to turn on @ specific times/days of week. [08:26] guiverc: Wake on Lan is a thing too, if that's an option. === madhuvanthi is now known as madhu583118 === ubuntu is now known as Guest73922 [08:30] hi, suppose I want to send Enter / Return key on every left-click event in Xorg, how would I do that? I know what those buttons do in xev, how would I combine them? === MyGfsHusbandSuck is now known as JamesSmith [08:45] it worked thanks ppf [08:45] halo [08:49] Hey guys I am having a weird issue. My keyboard and mouse input are randomly stopping and slowing down, but only on Ubuntu and only when I'm logged in. When I type in my system password my input is normal but when I get through to type in my user password the input has slowed down. This does not happen on windows. Any ideas? === Nicmavr is now known as Guest76373 [08:56] ok I tried to go into console mode with ctrl-alt-f1 and I got a black screen with my cursor, cursor could hardly move at all it was so slowed down [08:57] I never saw the terminal text so I just rebooted [08:57] oops wrong channel [09:06] Hi. I'm trying to mount a windows share the same way i mounted all my other shares but i'm getting an error for this one which is not giving me a lot of insight: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/xt2ZrTv7vw/ [09:06] Any ideas where this "Invalid argument" is comming from and what's causing it?

Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/samba.html [09:08] lotuspsychje: well this way worked for me for all the other shares in this network [09:08] i just need assistance trouble shooting this exact one [09:09] Anticom: there is also a #samba channel if you like, they might know more specificly [09:11] Anticom, you could try adding "sec=ntlm,charset=utf8," in the -o (I added it awhile back; can't recall why for mine) [09:12] guiverc: it's specifying the pw hasing algorithm as well as your charset [09:12] i can try a different pw hashing algo but the charset shouldn't affect mount's ability to actually mount the share or not [09:14] hm setting charset to utf8 actually breaks my working mount commands, maybe you where on to something there [09:15] thanks Anticom [09:16] Just sucks, that even with verbose logging you don't get a clear error that's telling you what's wrong [09:17] And #samba seems to be dead :S [09:39] Hello [09:39] want to install monit from ppa [09:39] what ppa should I add? [09:39] only trusted one [09:39] vg__: we dont support or reccomend adding external ppa's [09:40] vg__: they can scramble your system & dependecys [09:40] vg__: but its your system, you can ask support towards the maintainer of the ppa perhaps? [09:41] I am hosting my site on AWS, want to install monit but somehow donot want to perform apt-get update [09:41] The what should I do? [09:41] why not use monit from the repos? [09:42] want to perform apt install only my ansible is written that way [09:43] All are leaving this group? [09:43] any help for ppa of ubuntu without apt-get install? [09:43] without apt-get update [09:44] no. but what is it you actually wanna do? [09:44] monit is in the repos, no ppa needed for that [09:44] I want to install monit with apt without performing apt-get update/ [09:44] apt install monit [09:45] ok, but that requires apt-get update [09:45] I want without apt-get update [09:45] why can't you do apt update? [09:45] apt update because it is getting installed via ansible and there is some blocker [09:45] you will need that to install from a ppa as well [09:46] what is installed via ansible [09:46] I can add ppa for one time perform apt-get update and then make an ami of it [09:46] monit installed via anisble [09:47] i don't get you [09:47] ppa or not, it's the same procedure [09:47] Hi folks [09:54] hello BluesKaj [09:55] hi AppAraat [10:00] Rumen: you said the system freezes, does control+alt+F1/F2/-->F7 work in this situation? - No everything connected to graphic freeze, keyboard as well - Just the mouse and sound work [10:01] hi [10:02] hello [10:03] Rumen: what browser is this, have you tried the troublesome website on another browser? - Chromium, Firefox, Cliqz - And not only browsers, LIBREOFFICE as well freeze === ubuntu is now known as Guest84115 [10:05] adamantium> Rumen: you might start looking into your compositor settings if you are using one.
