| blackflow | yellow: clean/easy? nope. that version of PHP is long gone. even if you compiled it from source, it's probably very much vulnerable. | 08:35 |

There is no timezone to be set in the camera. | 08:43 |

| guiverc | metaldemon: no, only Ubuntu and official flavors (kubuntu, xubuntu, lubuntu, ubuntu-mate, ....) | 09:30 |
| metaldemon | guiverc: ah okay. so not for zorin os? | 09:31 |
| guiverc | nope | 09:31 |
| metaldemon | ah okay, that's alright. | 09:32 |
| metaldemon | guiverc: long shot: can there be any difference when it comes to drivers on ubuntu based distros? | 09:33 |
| guiverc | any difference - yes. 90%+ will be the same; but differences one ubuntu-based can cause problems the upstream distro doesn't (which applies with debian [upstream of ubuntu] though ubuntu & debian are very close..) | 09:35 |
| metaldemon | I wanted to breathe new life into my old 2014 ish asus laptop. any OS works on it but the asus touchpad drivers are always an issue. On the linux side it does not seem to find a suitable driver for it. | 09:37 |
| metaldemon | I figured since Zorin is based on ubuntu that I could try my luck here | 09:37 |
| blackflow | depends on your definition of "very close". other than both using dpkg ecosystem, and ubuntu being "based on" debian's unstable repo (plus modifications to those packages), I find them significantly different distros. | 09:37 |
| metaldemon | when I try: "cat /proc/bus/input/devices" I don't see the touchpad listed anywhere. A quora page says this indicates it could mean I am not using the right kernel or there is just no support for this touchpad. what should I do? | 09:39 |
| blackflow | metaldemon: are you continuing to ask about zorin? we can't really support that here. | 09:40 |
| metaldemon | alright, I'll try to install ubuntu first then. let's hope it works | 09:41 |

| blackflow | Rumen: I have no idea what that is, but that's not officially supported kernel on Bionic, not even via HWE yet. Also, as of kernel 4.16, virtualbox guest drivers are now part of mainline and there could be conflict with that. | 10:35 |

| blackflow | Rumen: oh yeah, you did mention something some days ago. I take it you tried the latest proprietary driver from the graphics PPA? | 10:38 |
| Rumen | Yes it install it as manually installed driver and doesn't run well as well and also I saw I have many Kernel modules failed to load when start the computer | 10:40 |

| Rumen | no that was with the old kernel 4.15 | 10:41 |

| BluesKaj | Howdy folks | 12:00 |
| blackflow | joaopaulosr: nope. question is if you'll even have to change anything in the system. that's nvidia, right? there's a driver in the kernel and if that doesn't work, you can install, and later uninstall, the proprietary driver via regular packages. | 12:04 |
| joaopaulosr | blackflow: ow, i see. my concern was that once i install the gpu it could somehow mess with my system and i would be unable to remove it and get back to my onboard one | 12:06 |

| bozsikarmand | I am currently using an nvidia GTX960 in my desktop computer. I am using the default proprietary driver (390.48) sipped by Ubuntu 18.04. When I use the driver I have a much slower boot performance (I have a Samsung SSD 850 EVO as a system drive). At first I just set the order of displays in gnome's displays menu. Then I set brightness, display arrangement, and such things in nvidia-settings (running with sudo) I just save it to xorg | 12:41 |
| bozsikarmand | and nvidia-settings-rc via the built in buttons. Unfortunately at the next boot the changes are not applied automatically, I have to run nvidia-settings manually. | 12:41 |
| bozsikarmand | Some sites and apps (likeFacebook videos/Youtube or copying files in Nautilus) can override this unfortunately. How can I make these settings permanent? | 12:42 |
| blackflow | Rumen: what about /usr/lib/modules-load.d/ or /run/modules-load.d/ ? | 12:51 |

| rev__ | hey! do you to run logrotate through a cronjob, cuz the logrotate conf includes the line "hourly/monthly". doesn't log rotate have it's way to run every minute without it needing to be added to a cronjob? | 13:01 |
| blackflow | rev__: nope. | 13:02 |
| blackflow | rev__: also, it runs daily by default. | 13:03 |
| lambdoid_ | Should I use xorg or Wayland as my display server? | 13:04 |
| oerheks | lambdoid_, try wayland, and use xorg as a fall back when things don't work for you | 13:05 |
| jack_fu | hello | 13:05 |
| rev__ | blackflow: so logrotate and cronjob go hand in hand? yes it runs daily by defaullt...are you saying my crontab file has an entry for logrotate to run daily by default? | 13:05 |
| jack_fu | hello | 13:05 |
| jack_fu | 收到 | 13:06 |
| blackflow | rev__: logrotate installs a startup script in /etc/cron.daily/ | 13:06 |
| lambdoid_ | is wayland better than xorg? | 13:08 |
| blackflow | "better" is subjective and depends on use case | 13:08 |
| blackflow | but yes, wayland is designed to be more secure and probably, one day, replace xorg completely. | 13:08 |
| blackflow | and btw, wayland is a protocol, so it boils down to the quality of individual compositors | 13:09 |
| tomeaton17 | if you have an nvidia card then wayland is not ideal at the moment | 13:09 |
| blackflow | that too. though I'm not sore if "ideal" or "possible at all" are right words :) | 13:10 |
| rev__ | blackflow: don't have a linux machine on desk, so...can you maybe share your crontab file? | 13:11 |

| lambdoid_ | Last time I installed ubuntu I told gdm to login with xorg using nouveau which broke the system | 13:11 |
| lambdoid_ | I had to install windows | 13:11 |
| lambdoid_ | I was autologging into xorg on startup and it froze | 13:12 |
| lambdoid_ | I should have installed the nvidia drivers before telling gdm to log into xorg | 13:12 |

| blackflow | rev__: it's not a crontab, logrotate is using the default daily cron directory where scripts to be launched, daily, reside installed by packages. | 13:14 |

| tomreyn | t0m80w: is there a keyboard combo to enable / disable it? either for bluetooth or airplane mode? | 13:19 |
| blackflow | rev__: there's daily, weekly and monthly dirs, scripts inside are laucnhed by run-parts defined in master crontab at /etc/crontab | 13:19 |

| Lope | PCatinean, when I first switched to linux the nvidia GPU was sucking 10~13W. But I installed bumblebee, which powers it off. | 14:48 |
| BluesKaj | Lope, bumblebee is meant for Optimus dual gpu systems | 14:49 |
| Lope | BluesKaj, yeah, he's got a laptop and wants to "kill" his nvidia GPU | 14:51 |
| Lope | Whatever kill means. | 14:51 |
| PCatinean | Lope, ubunt 18.04? | 14:51 |
| PCatinean | Lope, ubuntu 18.04? | 14:51 |
| PCatinean | * | 14:51 |
| Lope | PCatinean, I switched to ubuntu on around ubuntu 12. But I installed bumblebee on ubuntu 18. Worked alright for the test that I did, but I no longer need it and removed it. | 14:51 |
| PCatinean | So noveau drivers don't work, nvidia drivers don't and bumblebee will solve it? | 14:52 |
| PCatinean | Lope, you got 0% in powertop on nvidia? | 14:52 |
| Lope | PCatinean, well my power usage dropped by 10~13W as I said. for Nvidia GT540M | 14:53 |
| Lope | heat production and battery life became similar to what it was on windows. | 14:54 |
| PCatinean | interesting | 14:54 |
| Lope | I never said noveau drivers don't work. | 14:54 |
| Lope | They work fine. | 14:54 |
| Lope | Noveau drivers will stop the GPU wasting power also. | 14:55 |
| PCatinean | They don't disable the nvidia card, laptop gets hot, even in standby it's 100% | 14:55 |
| Lope | Depends how new your GPU is though. Noveau works for my GT540M | 14:55 |
| Lope | 100% what? | 14:55 |
| PCatinean | power usage | 14:55 |
| Lope | Basically all 3 have worked for my GT540M. Ubuntu 12 with bumblebee. Ubuntu 18 with just neuveau. Ubuntu 18 with Nvidia driver. Ubuntu with Nvidia and Bumblebee. | 14:56 |
| PCatinean | I just wish I could shut it down completely | 14:56 |

| fSharp | I said I didn't want to use chroot on the target system itself. | 15:14 |
| pragmaticenigma | sweb: Your question is more about personal preference than a support topic. Both applications can syncronize the system time. NTP is more widely supported, and documented.

| Rumen | sudo grep -ri "off" /run/modules-load.d/ - No such file | 15:18 |
| pragmaticenigma | JillnJackJack: Depending on system archetecture certain parts of the bootable drive need to have data blocks in specific areas. That information is not captured by rsync | 15:18 |

| pragmaticenigma | fSharp: You need to describe in full detail what you are attempting to do. What you plan to accomplish. etc.. You're withholding information that would benefit us in trying to assist you | 15:19 |
| aidrocsid | Avoider, you've tested it in Windows? | 15:19 |

| Guest19914 | brainwash, aha nice. THanks i will try that | 15:22 |
| pragmaticenigma | fSharp: that still doesn't explain what you want to do with chroot... If you are attempting to simply access data on the drive, there is no reason to chroot. | 15:22 |
| JillnJackJack | pragmaticenigma: can i fix all these issued by installing ubuntu anew on my root or / partition? and then just overwrite with rsync? | 15:22 |

| fSharp | pragmaticenigma, as I said, I want to get to the root of the target system. | 15:23 |
| fSharp | I know that for data access i dont need to get to the root | 15:23 |
| pragmaticenigma | fSharp: You don't need chroot to access the content of the drive | 15:23 |
| Forty-3 | how do I restart networking on ubuntu server 18.04? | 15:23 |
| fSharp | it is not my goal to access the drive contents | 15:23 |
| Forty-3 | e.g. equivalent to systemctl restart dhcpd on other distros | 15:23 |
| pragmaticenigma | fSharp: then what you are saying makes absolutely no sense. | 15:23 |
| Lope | PCatinean, nice, I didn't know about autotune. | 15:23 |
| fSharp | I want to be able to use my target system with root privileges, what is blurry about it? | 15:24 |

| ubottu | A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot | 15:27 |
| JillnJackJack | pragmaticenigma: if you forgive another question: what exactly are those blocks that have to be in a certin place? is this the masterbootrecord or the analogon with uefi or grub? | 15:27 |
| pragmaticenigma | fSharp: There isn't a clear answer, I'm not understanding the end goal of what you are doing. And therefore have no clear idea if what you are attempting to do will work | 15:27 |
| pragmaticenigma | JillnJackJack: EFI requires a specific partition to be on the drive that the UEFI system is able to locate. Older machines, the MBR needed to be located within a specific range of the disk for BIOS to located. The newer machines and file systems, this limitation was less of an issue | 15:29 |
| fSharp | I just want to see in the live system's terminal this: "~$ #" there is nothing further I want to know than how to do this. the rest I can manage myself. | 15:29 |
| Forty-3 | fSharp: check out PS1 | 15:29 |
| fSharp | what is that? | 15:30 |
| JillnJackJack | pragmaticenigma: so having a seperate boot partition on the servers hdd would work? | 15:30 |
| Forty-3 | do man bash and grep for PROMPTING | 15:30 |
| avoider | no one here able to help with this issue? | 15:30 |
| JillnJackJack | given than one does not overwrite at least that part with rsync? | 15:30 |
| pragmaticenigma | fSharp: at this point, you know more than myself, and potentially anyone else in this channel. The only thing left is to try it out. If you are that concerned about the target system... I wouldn't recommend trying anything without a databack up | 15:30 |
| pragmaticenigma | !patience | avoider | 15:30 |
| ubottu | avoider: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or https://ubuntuforums.org or https://askubuntu.com/ | 15:30 |
| fSharp | oh gosh | 15:30 |
| avoider | i tried searching that ubottu, that is all random non working soultions | 15:31 |
| avoider | that is why i came here | 15:31 |
| pragmaticenigma | avoider: ubottu is a helper bot, it is not sentiant | 15:32 |
| avoider | oh | 15:32 |
| pragmaticenigma | JillnJackJack: the /boot partition is just a container... MBRs are something different | 15:33 |
| aidrocsid | Okay, *now* I'm on Ubuntu and I have screen flickering on one of my monitors when I watch video. Latest LTS. 18.whatever | 15:33 |

| avoider | meh | 15:35 |
| avoider | thanks for support sucking so bad here. | 15:35 |
| * compdoc avoids avoider | 15:36 | |
| pragmaticenigma | that is uncalled for, those who offer help here are volunteers. it's a community support channel, not a Canonical support channel | 15:37 |
| aidrocsid | Any ideas for flickers? | 15:44 |
| Lope | I'm doing a "crazy" experiment, which is working. I've got VirtualBox who's virtual disk is an entire (raw) hard disk (not a file or a partition, a whole physical drive) and has windows booted off that drive's first partition in virtualbox. But on that hard disk, I've got an extra partition, formatted with luks. And I've got it mounted in linux on the host, and I'm reading/writing to it etc while the VM is running. In practise, it works. | 15:45 |
| Lope | Nothing is complaining or wanting exclusive access (or not getting the access it needs), and windows is not going to write to the luks partition on it's own. So should be fine? | 15:45 |
| aidrocsid | Lol why? | 15:46 |
| aidrocsid | Is it a security thing? | 15:46 |
| pragmaticenigma | Lope: If there is any important data, I'd make sure you have it backed up... beyond that... I don't see any issues | 15:46 |
| Lope | aidrocsid, yeah, I don't know what kind of crap will run in the windows VM | 15:46 |
| aidrocsid | Niche situations are fun to figure out :D | 15:47 |
| Lope | pragmaticenigma, so it's not an anomaly, that it's working? | 15:47 |

| aidrocsid | Screen tearing is way worse on my smaller monitor than my larger one. | 15:48 |
| pragmaticenigma | Lope: VirtualBox only cares about the volume you pointed it to for the VM (virtual disk or physical doesn't matter)... anything else on that disk, virtualbox is going to ignore unless it was told to use it. | 15:48 |
| iome | alvaro soler | 15:48 |
| pragmaticenigma | !details | aidrocsid ... need configuration, graphic cards, monitor names, etc: | 15:48 |
| ubottu | aidrocsid ... need configuration, graphic cards, monitor names, etc:: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information; for example, we might need errors, steps, relevant configuration files, Ubuntu version, and hardware information. Use a !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel. | 15:48 |
| aidrocsid | Is there a command that will list that? | 15:49 |
| pragmaticenigma | aidrocsid: You don't know what's in your computer? | 15:49 |
| iome | alvaro soler | 15:49 |
| aidrocsid | I can't list my monitor specs off the top of my head, no. | 15:50 |
| Lope | pragmaticenigma, I've pointed to the entire disk for virtualbox. | 15:50 |
| aidrocsid | You know what, I'm just going to wait for Europeans to be awake lol. | 15:51 |
| pragmaticenigma | Lope: that isn't possible | 15:51 |
| Lope | pragmaticenigma, it is | 15:52 |
| aidrocsid | Lol practicalenigma you don't seem to have much of substance or help to say. | 15:52 |
| pragmaticenigma | Lope: You have virtual box pointed to a partition such as /dev/sdg1 not /dev/sdg | 15:53 |
| Lope | pragmaticenigma, no | 15:53 |
| Lope | VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename /tmp/file-that-only-points-todisk.vmdk -rawdisk /dev/disk/by-id/blah | 15:53 |
| Lope | Virtualbox has an entire hard disk, not a partition. | 15:53 |
| Lope | the same hard disk boots inside a physical computer. | 15:53 |
| pragmaticenigma | aidrocsid: Please review the community guidelines. If you don't have positive things to contribute, then please keep your thoughts to yourself. | 15:53 |
| pragmaticenigma | Lope: THe disk/bi-id points to a partition, not a device | 15:54 |
| aidrocsid | I'd say the same to you. So far you've shamed me and told Lope that the thing he already did is impossible. | 15:54 |
| Lope | pragmaticenigma, no, it points to a whole disk. | 15:54 |
| Lope | You're totally wrong. | 15:54 |
| aidrocsid | In fact, where are the mods? | 15:54 |
| Lope | pragmaticenigma, I could have done it just by /dev/sdX but by-id is more robust. | 15:54 |
| Lope | by-id has disks and partitions. | 15:54 |
| Lope | I'm not an idiot. | 15:54 |
| Lope | You're making false assumptions. | 15:55 |
| Lope | yeah pragmaticenigma how many times do you want to insult my intelligence? | 15:55 |
| Lope | Google it if you don't believe me. You can attach an entire hard disk to virtualbox. | 15:56 |
| aidrocsid | Seriously, if you're literally only here to insult people you shouldn't clog the chat up. | 15:56 |
| pragmaticenigma | Lope, aidrocsid ... You are out of line... there is no reason to belittle or berate someone. | 15:56 |
| aidrocsid | Dude it's all you've done. | 15:57 |
| Lope | Okay, thanks for the chat, I've gtg | 15:57 |
| Lope | No hard feelings pragmaticenigma, just google and you'll see. | 15:58 |
| pragmaticenigma | Lope: If you were to run the command "ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/" you would see that none of the links point to drives, they all point to a partition on the devices. | 16:00 |
| pragmaticenigma | aidrocsid: As for your situation... I'm not looking for a complete listing of the hardware in your system. I'm looking for how many graphics cards you have or if you using one card with multiple outputs for monitors. Simple things that you should know... once I have the basic information, I would be able to further direct you to help find the details needed to continue. There is no magical command I can offer until | 16:03 |
| pragmaticenigma | I know some basic information about your machine. | 16:03 |
| Richard_Cavell | By the way, is there a machine which is like the most basic machine that will comfortably run Ubuntu in a VM on Windows 10? | 16:05 |
| pragmaticenigma | Richard_Cavell: are you asking for configuration suggestions for the VM or curious if your computer can host ubuntu installed in virtual box? | 16:06 |
| Richard_Cavell | I need to buy a new machine and I want to run ubuntu in a VM | 16:06 |
| pragmaticenigma | Richard_Cavell: Recommendations from the Virtual Box developers: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/End-user_documentation | 16:08 |
| pragmaticenigma | Richard_Cavell: Any newer processor will be fine. Adequate memory is really important | 16:08 |
| Richard_Cavell | That page is not really helpful | 16:09 |
| oerheks | so if windows does not run properly, it is an ubuntu issue? | 16:09 |
| aidrocsid | Here, here are all the things about my computer https://pastebin.com/v3a6rqMA | 16:09 |
| aidrocsid | It has flickery monitors. Worse on the smaller one. | 16:09 |
| snapdata | I have a weird one, everyone. This is a technical curiosity, not something that seriously affects me, but I'm always happy to learn more about linux. Anyway, I'm on Ubuntu 18.04, and when I use the *restart* option, my wifi adapter fails to load (not sure if it's a kernel driver or what), every time. I can sit there and keep hitting 'restart' and never get the wifi driver up (the device doesnt even show | 16:11 |
| snapdata | up in ifconfig), *but* if I simply shut down and then start the machine, it works fine. | 16:11 |
| snapdata | This has been going on for months, and I've only just now realized that there might be a really interesting component to it | 16:11 |
| pragmaticenigma | aidrocsid: Have you installed the propriatary nvidia drivers? | 16:12 |
| snapdata | But, I'm not smart enough to debug it unfortunately. | 16:12 |
| luckwhoami | java help needed/ | 16:13 |
| luckwhoami | ? | 16:13 |
| snapdata | luckwhoami: What? Go to #java | 16:14 |
| snapdata | luckwhoami: You're in #ubuntu. This is not a java channel. | 16:14 |
| luckwhoami | using ubuntu 16.04 | 16:14 |
| pragmaticenigma | luckwhoami: If you writing java code, please visit #java... this is not a software development channel | 16:14 |
| aidrocsid | Just about to do that. Went looking at my drivers and noticed it's nouveau | 16:14 |
| oerheks | luckwhoami, install openjdk, and have fun? | 16:15 |
| oerheks | !java | 16:15 |
| ubottu | To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 16:15 |
| luckwhoami | no java code. application failed to run | 16:15 |
| pragmaticenigma | aidrocsid: I would install those. if you're interested, there is a specific ppa that maintains the latest nvidia drivers with ubuntu tweaks applied for smoother operation. | 16:15 |
| snapdata | aidrocsid: the proprietary drivers are much nicer. | 16:15 |
| oerheks | oh, for applicationhelp, seek for #java channels | 16:15 |
| snapdata | pragmaticenigma: I need this | 16:16 |
| snapdata | pragmaticenigma: I didn't know that was a thing. I had to drop back to intel graphics because the proprietary drivers were screwed up for me | 16:17 |
| oerheks | snapdata, file a bugreport? | 16:17 |
| pragmaticenigma | snapdata: Do you have an Nvidia graphics card? | 16:17 |
| snapdata | pragmaticenigma: Yep, a GTX MX160. It's a laptop card | 16:17 |
| oerheks | 160 or 1060 ? | 16:18 |
| pragmaticenigma | snapdata: dual graphics are harder to work with ... I found documentation on how to use the propretary drivers with dual graphics laptops | 16:19 |
| pragmaticenigma | * I haven't found * | 16:19 |
| aidrocsid | Yep, pragmaticenigma, just added that repo and am installing the drivers. :D Thanks | 16:19 |
| oerheks | mx160 is not in the list http://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/134859/en-us | 16:19 |
| snapdata | pragmaticenigma: I can switch back and forth between the two with no problems. It's just the nvidia drivers are *sloooow*, my desktop UI effects are faster on the intel, and the few games I play run more or less the same between the two, which shouldn't really be the case | 16:20 |
| oerheks | too new? | 16:20 |
| pragmaticenigma | aidrocsid: once you have those installed, the control panel has the ability to adjust vsych ... which is what I believe might be causing your monitor flicker ... you might also want to check you video playback. If it is VLC, it also has some tweaks to help with video flicker. I have noticed that with the nvidia drivers, they go away once installed | 16:20 |
| snapdata | oerheks: er sorry, i typo'd super hard. gtx 1050 | 16:21 |
| aidrocsid | Okay cool, I'll check that once it finishes and I boot back in. | 16:21 |
| pragmaticenigma | snapdata: The only instructions I have found work with the generic nouvau drivers unfortunately | 16:22 |
| snapdata | oerheks, pragmaticenigma: among other problems, like when using the nvidia card, the pc fails to resume and always needs a hard reset after lid close | 16:22 |
| snapdata | that being the said, I couldn't go back to windows, ever. | 16:22 |
| aidrocsid | 👍 | 16:22 |
| aidrocsid | God it's weird that that works. | 16:22 |
| snapdata | pragmaticenigma: no worries, thank you for looking! | 16:23 |
| snapdata | pragmaticenigma: that was very kind of you. | 16:23 |
| oerheks | !cookie | pragmaticenigma | 16:24 |
| ubottu | pragmaticenigma: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! | 16:24 |
| pragmaticenigma | snapdata: The lid closing is an issue I've seen on many support forums. Part of it is a race condition between the kernel sending power state signals, I also think some of it is related to having an integrated GPU and discreet GPU running at the same time, which is a more recently supported feature. | 16:29 |
| snapdata | pragmaticenigma: ahhh okay, I gotcha. glad to know I'm not the only one! | 16:29 |
| aidrocsid | PragmaticEnigma, should the changes be applied to VLC once I have NVIDIA's drivers or is there something I needto set for that? | 16:34 |
| pragmaticenigma | aidrocsid: Is it still flickering with the nvidia drivers | 16:35 |
| aidrocsid | I don't think so but it does look a little funny | 16:35 |
| aidrocsid | My eyes are going wonky trying to look at image quality lol | 16:36 |
| pragmaticenigma | aidrocsid: what is a little funny? are you seeing blockyness? | 16:36 |
| Chon_Lee | I'm trying to run a brand new install on a newer dell laptop but Ubuntu is booting to 32bit instead of 64, is there an easy way to fix this? | 16:36 |
| pragmaticenigma | Chon_Lee: Where did you download Ubuntu and what was the name of the file you downloaded? | 16:37 |
| Chon_Lee | I downloaded ubuntu-18.04-desktop-amd64.iso so I know it's not the image | 16:37 |
| Chon_Lee | Ubuntu.com | 16:37 |
| pragmaticenigma | Chon_Lee: How are you determining that you are running Ubuntu 32 bit? | 16:37 |
| Chon_Lee | let me back up... I'm assuming it's trying to boot 32bit because it's saying '32-bit relocation outside f kernel! --system halted' | 16:38 |
| aidrocsid | Hang on I want to try something that moves a lot to see if it's just my eyes | 16:38 |
| aidrocsid | Because it's subtle but I'm watching Community | 16:38 |
| pragmaticenigma | Chon_Lee: You machine is running 64 bit, but 32 bit code can run on 64 bit machines. It's possible a driver or some other 32 bit software is trying to load on boot and causing a kernel fault. what was the last thing you did before seeing the error? | 16:39 |
| Chon_Lee | popped in the usb stick after imaging, and pressed f12 selected usb and blammo | 16:39 |
| mustmodify | is crontab ubuntu or linux? | 16:40 |
| mustmodify | I mean | 16:40 |
| mustmodify | bash or ubuntu? | 16:40 |
| CodeMouse92 | mustmodify: It's Linux. | 16:40 |
| pragmaticenigma | aidrocsid: You can try adjust the video settings in preferences. Right now it says Automatic... VDPAU is the setting for using the GPU for full decoding of the video | 16:40 |
| CodeMouse92 | mustmodify: It's not even really related to 'bash' per se. It's its own program, to be more specific, but it appears on many distros. | 16:40 |
| pragmaticenigma | mustmodify: crontab is an application that manages scheduled system tasks | 16:41 |
| mustmodify | sure. Just wanted to know where I should ask. | 16:41 |
| pragmaticenigma | !info crontab | mustmodify | 16:41 |
| ubottu | mustmodify: Package crontab does not exist in bionic | 16:41 |
| CodeMouse92 | lol | 16:41 |
| pragmaticenigma | disregard ubottu mustmodify | 16:41 |
| mustmodify | I cloned a VM, then deleted a user from the clone. Then I found that the user's crontab list was still running. Why? | 16:41 |
| CodeMouse92 | mustmodify: Well, afaik, you *can* ask here, as it's pretty standard within Ubuntu... | 16:41 |
| CodeMouse92 | mustmodify: Did you delete the user's *files*? | 16:42 |
| CodeMouse92 | Or just the entry for the user in the user list? | 16:42 |
| pragmaticenigma | mustmodify: Yes, please ask your question, if we don't know the answer we can help direct you to a resource the can help | 16:42 |
| mustmodify | sudo userdel or something like that | 16:42 |
| mustmodify | deluser? | 16:42 |
| aidrocsid | Yeah I think my eyes are just weirding out on me. Thanks pragmaticenigma. | 16:42 |
| mustmodify | Never sure which order to use. I think they both do something. | 16:43 |
| CodeMouse92 | mustmodify: AFAIK, that doesn't actually delete /home/user | 16:43 |
| CodeMouse92 | Either that, or one of them doesn't ;) | 16:43 |
| mustmodify | ok, so deleting /home/user will do it? | 16:43 |
| CodeMouse92 | Should? | 16:43 |
| pragmaticenigma | aidrocsid: It also could be compression artifacts from the software that created the file. Depending on the settings used, sometimes sharpness is lost when they attempt to make the file as small as possible | 16:43 |
| CodeMouse92 | mustmodify: In the future, use `deluser --remove-home` to delete the user AND their home folder | 16:44 |
| CodeMouse92 | Er... `deluser --remove-home theusername` | 16:44 |
| pragmaticenigma | mustmodify: A specific user's cron tasks live in a file outside of the home directory | 16:44 |
| CodeMouse92 | ....right, was just going to add that. | 16:45 |
| aidrocsid | Yeah, I tried a couple of things and I think it's just my eyes looking for lines after watching the tears for a while. It definitely isn't tearing, which was super noticable. I don't think it's compression artifacts either, I think I'm tired. | 16:45 |
| CodeMouse92 | `/var/spool/cron/crontabs`, although it's not meant to be edited directly | 16:45 |
| mustmodify | Yeah, I figured they weren't in /home, but... | 16:45 |
| mustmodify | ok thanks. | 16:45 |
| compdoc | mustmodify, crontab is often custom modified. so it wont be undone when the user is deleted | 16:45 |
| aidrocsid | I do still want to see how it works with the SNES emulator that was having issues but I'm going to go install it on my xfce partition first. BBL | 16:45 |
| CodeMouse92 | mustmodify: The best way to remove the crontab is 'crontab -r theuser' | 16:46 |
| CodeMouse92 | As opposed to deleting the file manually | 16:46 |
| pragmaticenigma | mustmodify: you can edit another's crontab file by using "sudo crontab -u USER -e" ... I haven't used the -r option before personally | 16:47 |
| mmarconm | which wifi card is best for compatibilty in linux Intel or Atheros ? | 16:56 |
| === fabricius1 is now known as fabricius | ||
| CodeMouse92 | mmarconm: I've had much better luck with Intel. Every time. | 16:58 |
| CodeMouse92 | Atheros is six-of-one-half-dozen-of-the-other, in terms of driver compat. | 16:58 |
| CodeMouse92 | (Although Atheros is still a heckovalot better than Broadcomm in terms of compatibility, if that's the choice you're facing instead.) | 16:58 |
| mmarconm | CodeMouse92: yes, for me its dificult to find my socket NGFF m.2 | 16:59 |
| mmarconm | CodeMouse92: Intel 9260 Ngw Ngff M.2 ??? | 17:00 |
| CodeMouse92 | ...the spec for that one apparently explicitly states support for Linux? | 17:01 |
| CodeMouse92 | Hm | 17:01 |
| CodeMouse92 | mmarconm: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005511/network-and-i-o/wireless-networking.html | 17:02 |
| mmarconm | CodeMouse92: yes, but i saw some bug in foruns about this cards | 17:02 |
| mmarconm | looks that is a new card for linux | 17:02 |
| CodeMouse92 | Hm. Definitely outside of my bailiwick, then. | 17:03 |
| CodeMouse92 | Usually when I'm repairing a machine, I don't mess w/ the firmware that much. If the card doesn't work w/ Linux, I swap it out. | 17:03 |
| CodeMouse92 | They're cheap enough on eBay for me not to care. | 17:03 |
| mmarconm | Here in brazil they arent so cheap =( | 17:06 |

| pakcjo | Hello, is there a way to list the packages that are installed but not present in the configured repositories? | 17:13 |
| pakcjo | I just upgraded to 18.04 and I'm afraid I stil have some obsolete/3rd party packages | 17:14 |
| SilverSlimer | Alright, so I modified /etc/default/grub to make it support my laptop's resolution (1920x1080), made sure to add the payload keep line, updated initram-fs and grub itself and when I restart, the resolution is clearly the right one. | 17:14 |
| SilverSlimer | However, the splash screen itself doesn't show | 17:14 |
| SilverSlimer | what am i doing wrong | 17:14 |
| BluesKaj | udo update-grub | 17:14 |
| SilverSlimer | did that | 17:14 |
| BluesKaj | sudo | 17:14 |
| SilverSlimer | In other words, when I boot, the screen turns purple from the bottom up and then I get the cursor before being able to log on | 17:15 |
| SilverSlimer | the only thing I don,t see is the ubuntu logo and the progress graphic underneath | 17:15 |
| SilverSlimer | oh, but when i shut down, i see the logo | 17:16 |

| SilverSlimer | Speaking as a Pole whose country has been messed with by the Russians for centuries, I'll be the first to say that I don't fear Russians at all | 17:21 |
| mesu-ra | yea but it's about the bootloader | 17:21 |
| Southern_Gentlem | grub | 17:22 |

| mesu-ra | Q? | 17:30 |
| pragmaticenigma | SilverSlimer: As for the missing graphic on boot... I've tried to battle with that issue for a long time. I'm not sure if it is plymouth not finding or ability to scale the image to the resolution or some other configuration. You might have better luck at lowering the resolution with the same aspect ratio (like 1280x720) | 17:34 |
| asdf_ | HELP! I have lost my old home directory. I was trying to shift my home directory to a new partition. After setting the changes in fstab, i forgot to delete the old home directory and rebooted. Now the space is still consumed in the partition and i can't find a way to delete it. | 17:38 |
| PigDude | hey, I'm on 18.04 and just fixed this machine, it was offline for over a month. was surprised to see no updates at all from Ubuntu sources when I ran an upgrade. is that right? here's my sources.list https://lpaste.net/4147462923461066752 | 17:38 |
| nacc | PigDude: your sources.list is rather wrong | 17:39 |
| PigDude | and I'm fully aware that could be one sed :) | 17:39 |
| nacc | PigDude: you don't have -updates or security enabled. | 17:39 |

| nacc | asdf_: so you just want to remove the old partition? | 17:40 |
| asdf_ | yes | 17:41 |
| PigDude | nacc, I think these got disabled because I don't want update-manager auto updating (I do it myself) so I unchecked those boxes in the "Updates" tab | 17:41 |
| asdf_ | no no. not the whole partition. | 17:41 |
| PigDude | nacc, I think I just confused the top checkboxes as being specific to this program | 17:42 |
| ioria | PigDude, i don't think is a good idea | 17:42 |
| nacc | PigDude: well, i mean 'updating' is not a concern generally -- did you mean installing the packages? | 17:42 |
| nacc | asdf_: ok, maybe restate your goal? | 17:42 |
| PigDude | yea, I have a script I run instead every time I start my machine etc | 17:42 |
| asdf_ | that partition still has the os on it along with root partition and bin directory. i just want to recover the space that is consumed by the old home directory | 17:42 |

| asdf_ | ugh, according to the new /etc/fstab configurations the new partition is mounted at /home. | 18:09 |

| nacc | asdf_: yes, we don't care about the new, as we're not going to touch it | 18:23 |
| nacc | asdf_: my point was, you need to be in an env where the new /home is not mounted. So that's what recovery helps you with | 18:24 |
| asdf_ | okay. I will now boot into recovery mode and give it a try. will be back. Thanks | 18:25 |

| pragmaticenigma | Aleric: can explain better what you are trying to do? | 18:34 |

| ppx___ | oerheks : even tried the nmtui program and when selecting activate dsl connection it says ppp service rejected or something like that | 18:37 |
| Aleric | pragmaticenigma: I want to use gdb to step into functions that are inside libstdc++. | 18:42 |
| Aleric | I just found and installed libstdc++6-5-dbg but that doesn't seem to help much before it still isn't showing the source code.. I now get stuff like: | 18:42 |
| Aleric | std::basic_ios<char, std::char_traits<char> >::widen (__c=10 '\n', this=<optimized out>) at /build/gcc-5-DA3Yrl/gcc-5-5.4.0/build/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++-v3/include/bits/basic_ios.h:450 | 18:43 |

| ppx___ | oerheks : is it possible that in the future the ubuntu community will fix it? | 18:43 |
| pragmaticenigma | Aleric: dbg packages install debugging symbols for log files. dev packages are often for software development. What I might suggest is asking your question in ##programming as there may be someone there that has tried to do the same thing. | 18:43 |
| Aleric | For stack traces you mean. | 18:44 |
| Aleric | I probably need to compile libstdc++ myself. | 18:44 |
| pragmaticenigma | Aleric: That channel is better equipped and once they tell you the name of something, we can help you get it installed if you have difficulty | 18:44 |
| hggdh | Aleric: you need to install the symbols package(s) for the libraries you want to debug. The package names usually end in .dbg or .dbgsym, with the same initial name as the package for the library | 18:45 |
| mesu-ra | maybe you can link the source-code in the debugger | 18:45 |
| mesu-ra | even when the debug symbols are there, it's not automatically linked to the source code | 18:45 |
| hggdh | Aleric: you also need to allow the debug repository | 18:45 |
| Aleric | hggdh: That's what I just did thus. | 18:45 |
| hggdh | Aleric: but, as pragmaticenigma sated above, this is not the ideal channel for debugging programs | 18:46 |
| Aleric | Not sure how to do that mesu-ra, but that's what I was thinking too.. All I need is to strip off a part of that build-tree and tell gdb where to look for the rest. | 18:46 |

| nivpgir | hi | 21:26 |
| nivpgir | how can I find out how the ubuntu boost package was compiled? | 21:26 |
| skinux | Nevermind. I looked up what badges mean and gold badge means very trustable. | 21:27 |
| nivpgir | basically I would like to see the script for the boost build, what flags were used to for the compile command and such | 21:32 |
| oerheks | you find it at the launchpad page, not sure what boost package you refer to .. https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=sourcenames&keywords=boost | 21:33 |

| nacc | nivpgir: what is the pacakge name and what version of ubuntu? | 21:41 |
| gigirock | nivpgir: but u want to compile or run ? | 21:41 |
| nivpgir | ok, sorry, I guess I should give more background | 21:42 |
| oerheks | at the end, https://packages.ubuntu.com/source/cosmic/boost1.67 | 21:43 |
| gigirock | nivpgir: note that source are related to version u are on now | 21:46 |
| bildz | anyone seen this before? | 21:49 |
| nacc | bildz: editing the file wont' apply the changes immediately | 21:49 |
| nacc | bildz: did you reboot/restart ufw/ensure your sysctl is applied? | 21:49 |
| bildz | i restarted the ufw service | 21:49 |
| nacc | bildz: ok, and did you check if the sysctl is set? | 21:49 |
| bildz | nacc: I can get to the internet through the OpenVPN, I just cant hit internal clients on the network | 21:49 |
| oerheks | restarted networking too ? | 21:50 |
| bildz | so I know ip.forwarding is working | 21:50 |
| bildz | nacc: I "echo 1 > cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" | 21:50 |
| PaulfraOSAA | nivpgir: take a look at conan (also #conan on freenode) Bincrafters just made boost available, you want a C++ package manager for your c++ libraries anyway. | 21:52 |

| nivpgir | I'm trying to build clasp: https://github.com/clasp-developers/clasp, on arch linux. now for some reason, I'm getting a link error on a symbol related to boost, it links fine on ubuntu but on arch it doesn't I'm trying to find out whats different between the arch and ubuntu libs to fix the problem | 21:55 |
| nacc | nivpgir: the exact same version of boost? did you ask upstream, arch, etc.? | 21:56 |
| nivpgir | ver 1.67.0-5 on arch, I'm discussing it with clasp's creator on their channel, and also I have the pkgbuild script for the boost package on arch linux | 21:57 |
| nacc | nivpgir: so you tested this on 18.10? | 21:58 |
| nacc | nivpgir: that's the only placed boost1.67 is available on ubuntu, and the build log is here: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/377503487/buildlog_ubuntu-cosmic-amd64.boost1.67_1.67.0-0ubuntu1_BUILDING.txt.gz | 21:59 |

| nacc | lungaro_: i've never used pbuiilder, only sbuild --- --preserve-buildplace ? | 22:06 |
| lungaro_ | oh interesting, maybe i should look into sbuild then | 22:07 |
| nacc | lungaro_: or --debug, i guess | 22:07 |
| bildz | nacc: [UFW BLOCK] IN=tun0 OUT= MAC= SRC=172.31.0.6 DST=10.250.1.52 [LAN IP] | 22:08 |
| lungaro_ | nacc, where are the sbuild docs? any pointers? | 22:09 |
| nacc | lungaro_: sbuild requires some setup time but has a handy -pnever to 'never' purge the build, or -psuccessful to only purge it on successful builds | 22:09 |
| nacc | lungaro_: `man sbuild` and there are some wiki pages, iirc | 22:09 |
| lungaro_ | got it | 22:10 |
| ironpillow | ppf: sorry about the late reply: library is libmbedcrypto0 | 22:10 |
| nacc | bildz: sorry, why do you think this is related to the sysctl? | 22:10 |
| crankharder | thinking about setting up a call center's amount of ubuntu computers (cheap all in one Dell's), but not sure how to get ubuntu installed efficiently. in a windows shop we used to use 'ghost' the machines, but that required a server that hosted the ISOs... is there a modern/better approach that can help? | 22:11 |
| bildz | nacc: I dont just giving background as to what i've performed. | 22:12 |
| nacc | bildz: ah ok; afaict, it's not. UFW is blocking the request; but I'm not an expert | 22:13 |
| nacc | bildz: check /etc/default/ufw's DEFAULT_FORWARD_POLICY ? | 22:13 |
| bildz | yeah I have that as ACCEPT, changed from DROP | 22:14 |
| boogle | crankharder, If they are all the same you could image the drives with the bare minimum although host names might be an issue. | 22:14 |
| bildz | nacc: i've rebooted as well | 22:14 |
| crankharder | boogle: i figure some post-image script would be in order regardless, so i could change hostnames | 22:14 |
| crankharder | my first thought was booting with a usb ubuntu installer. then dd to transfer a post-install image from 2nd USB drive to hard disk. though, honestly not sure if the partition table and grub would get set up correctly that way | 22:16 |
| boogle | I'm thinking set one up then use gnome disk utitlity to img it and restore to a second drive. | 22:18 |
| nacc | bildz: sorry, i really don't know, maybe change the ufw logging | 22:22 |
| nacc | bildz: check `ufw status` too see if a rule is possibly in place | 22:22 |
| bildz | nacc: i did its just the rules i originally specified | 22:27 |
| nacc | bildz: and do those rules allow for the forwarding you want? | 22:27 |
| bildz | one sec | 22:28 |
| bildz | nacc: forward rules arent showing up in the ufw status | 22:29 |
| bildz | nacc: https://pastebin.com/91zCj6yA | 22:30 |
| Success | how is hades canyon support | 22:31 |

| panictest | leave | 22:34 |
| panictest | exit | 22:34 |
| panictest | quit | 22:34 |
| panictest | !q | 22:34 |
| Success | lol | 22:34 |
| nacc | bildz: if i read that correctly, you only allow outboudn conenctions on tun0 | 22:40 |
| nacc | bildz: that's probably your issue | 22:40 |
| lungaro_ | nacc, doesn't appear my version of sbuild has --preserve-buildplace =/ | 22:46 |
