nateTJ-: Yeah but those I pasted are the only ones currently installed on this fresh system00:00
IntelCorelatest ossl00:00
nateThe only two I'd say being of 'sounding' important to me being ubuntu-server and software-properties-common, but that could just be my unfamiliariety w/ ubuntu too, I didn't check out exactly what they are yet00:00
TJ-nate: why not use 18.04 LTS which has 1.1.10 ?00:00
TJ-!info openssl bionic | nate00:01
ubottunate: openssl (source: openssl): Secure Sockets Layer toolkit - cryptographic utility. In component main, is important. Version 1.1.0g-2ubuntu4.1 (bionic), package size 528 kB, installed size 1095 kB00:01
nateTJ-: Because it still won't have camellia :P00:01
nateAnd I wanted something a little more 'aged'/commonly deployed still00:01
TJ-nate: right, but if you base on 18.04, then your build should have the same ABI as the system libraries, thus avoiding breakages00:02
IntelCoreHello? So why my 16.10lts not grab the 18.10?00:03
nateBut would also be broken to my testing against a still-common ubuntu LTS.  I know usual reaction to questions like these are "Why?" and to suggest against it, but I do have some complex development/testing reasons lol.  I can go about playing with it myself, I just figured I'd ask in here to save some time lol00:03
hggdhIntelCore: becasue 16.10 will have to upgrade to 10.04, and *then* 18.10 (which is still in development)00:04
hggdhIntelCore: additionally 16.10 is no longer supported (since July 2017)00:04
IntelCoreok so 18.10 is not released yet. late00:04
hggdhIntelCore: no. 18.10 means year 2018, *month* 1000:05
IntelCoreI just want the 2nd in-release of 18.0400:05
hggdhIntelCore: then it is probablly easier to re-install. There is no direct path from 16.10 to 18.04.100:06
IntelCorethere is on internet tells how to upgrade00:07
hggdhok00:07
hggdhgo for it, then00:07
hggdhkeep in mind -- not supported00:07
IntelCorehttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/BionicUpgrades00:08
IntelCorethat is00:08
NekrosBurekI can't connect to my ftp00:08
hggdhIntelCore: you told us you are at 16.10. 16.10 is NOT Bionic00:08
TJ-nate: as far as I can see 18.04 has the Camellia algos, see http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/8jWpGKbzRR/00:08
IntelCoreit says 16 or 17 to 1800:08
hggdhIntelCore: there is no Ubuntu 16, 17, or 1800:09
masterWas chatting with nacc here yesterday, my hp kabylake omen won't boot Ubuntu past kernel 4.10.0.28 though I can get up to 17.04 but not 16.x nor 18.x ... (17.04 is 4.10.0.19)00:09
masterIs there a bugzilla or tracking system I can enter a bug and maybe work through resolution with devs? Or @ least check for existing similar issues?00:09
hggdhIntelCore: there are 16.04, 16.10, 17.04, 17.10, and 18.0400:09
IntelCorehggdh .. uhm you know what I meant, I hope00:09
hggdhIntelCore: sorry, no, I do not. You told us 16.10. 16.10 is not Bionic. You cannot (easily) upgrade from 16.10 to 18.04.100:10
nateHm interesting, a previous one I tested didn't.  That could work then o.O00:10
IntelCoreUbuntu 16.04.5 LTS 64-bit << I got this now00:10
NekrosBurekI've installed the vsftpd and how can i create a root user ? I mean when i try to connect with root it says it is incorrect password00:10
hggdhIntelCore: so you are 16.04. (1) make a backup of anything important to you; (2) run sudo do-release-upgrade00:11

guivercIntelCore, new release - are you looking for 18.04 upgrade?  it occurs "SOON" after the 18.04.1 release comes out (which it has), but I'd bet soon means monday (london biz hours)00:20
oerheks so check the update tool; "Notify me of a new Ubuntu version:" option is set to "For any new version", and change it if otherwise.00:21
IntelCoreit said 26th00:21

IntelCoresoon be offered an automatic upgrade to 18.04.1 via Update Manager << yeah, so, I only tried to get upgrade after the release date, and it's not there?00:31
IntelCoreIs it there? If not pfft.. I can usb the part00:32
tonymkeahh is there a faster way to test xorg.conf config than "reboot and hope it works, if it doesn't, use a live cd to undo it"00:32
tonymkei am pretty miserable trying to get this multigpu/multidisplay setup working00:33
IntelCorediag00:33
TJ-tonymke: shouldn't need to reboot, only switch to a tty console and do "sudo systemctl restart lightdm" (or "restart gdm")00:34
IntelCorexdiagnose is on your pc00:35
tonymkeAhh, I can't open a terminal without a screen.00:35
tonymkeUnless there's some keyboard shortcut I'm missing.00:35
tonymketo kill x00:35
TJ-tonymke: Ctrl+Alt+F2 will get you to tty200:36
TJ-tonymke: n00:36
tonymkeahh, that's it00:36
tonymkethanks!00:36
TJ-tonymke: and depending on which ubuntu release, either Alt+F7 or Alt+F1 to return to the GUI00:37
TJ-tonymke: although restarting the ?DM (display manager) will switch ttys correctly00:37
IntelCoreby the way, 18.04.5 is due aug 2nd00:40
IntelCorehmm. was set on hour at tha upgrade tonite. :(00:41
tonymkehmm, i can get to a tty, but not before x restarts in its neverending cycle of restarting00:54
tonymkethat is, x is just restarting over and over00:55
tonymkeafter `systemctl restart gdm`00:55
TJ-tonymke: Ahhh00:56
tonymkeI think i'm just going to give up on using the gaming pc with linux. multigpu is undecipherable00:57
TJ-tonymke: I run 3 GPUs and 6 monitors on a laptop so it is possible00:57
TJ-tonymke: and they're nvidia00:57
tonymkeIt's two titans, two displays each. nvidia's little gui tool claims mosaic wont run the fourth monitor00:58
tonymkeso tried doing... x something. some x feature00:58
tonymkemultiple x screens united as one logical one. i can't find the name in the nvidia docs i was literally just looking at because i'm irritated and done with this nonsense01:00
tonymke"xinerama"01:01
woostmorning01:02
TJ-That can be due to the amount or GPU VRAM and the resolutions being used01:02
TJ-tonymke: did you check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for clues ?01:04
TJ-tonymke: also, are you sure it's using X, not Wayland ?01:04
tonymkeahh01:05
tonymkei can look in a bit, in the live cd again01:05
TJ-you know you can boot to the console without the GUI starting?01:05
tonymkeahh, yet another thing i'd have to google and be stuck in configuration hell on for four hours01:06
tonymkeit does not appear in grub01:07
TJ-tonymke: hit the Esc key as the system boots to get the GRUB boot menu, highlight the entry, press 'e' to edit it, navigate down to the line starting "linux ..." then add to the end "systemd.unit=multi-user.target" then press Ctrl+X or F10 to boot with that change01:08
TJ-tonymke: have to repeatedly tap the Esc key, not just hold it down, as soon as the system firmware completes its POST and starts to load GRUB01:08
tonymkeack01:09
TJ-tonymke: you could also SSH into it from another PC, if it has openssh-server installed01:09
tonymkenot a bad idea, assuming i can restart x reliably01:10
TJ-tonymke: remote SSH is the best way to control/diagnose X issues since you don't get interrupted by the GUI01:10
TJ-tonymke: simply "sudo systemctl stop lightdm (or gdm)" and "start" once you've made changes to the /etc/X11/xorg.conf or whatever01:11
tonymkeclever :)01:11
TJ-tonymke: then you can watch the system logs in real-time too, with "tail -f /var/log/Xorg.?.log"01:11
TJ-tonymke: if I recall correctly there's also a command-line config tool for nvidia, "nvidia-settings"01:15
TJ-tonymke: but if you need to use commands that talk to the X server you'll have to set the DISPLAY= env-var or use the "-d" option to many x????? commands, e.g. "xrandr -d :0 -q"01:16
TJ-tonymke: or "export DISPLAY=:0" before doing e.g. "xrandr -q"01:18

papHey, I have an inquiry.... How do I post an article on  the Ubuntu site?01:58
guivercpap, what is the article about?02:02
papLol... just an idea I wanted to share.. so how do I get it done?02:03
ranjanHi all, I am currently building virtual appliances using Packer and distributing them to different teams. Is there a tool or framework that is already available which gives a console based self service (like initial network configurations etc) without giving access to user account/shell?02:04
guivercubuntu.com will be controlled by Canonical; so you'll have to contact them.  if it's community related, best to use an existing site such as the wiki (wiki editors), discourse or community.ubuntu.com (anyone can do it this last one, but it'll get dropped if not fitting guidelines - this may be best for you, but will depend what topic.. which is why i asked)02:05

lapionHello03:23
capellaS7And now I'm up on 18.04! Had to temporarily add nomodeset before install, during initial boot, and perm after that03:24
lapionis there any effort being done towards upgrade-ability from lts to lts03:24
Bashing-omlapion: The upgrade path is now open .. what is the issue that you see ?03:30
lapionBashing-om, it's only open if I set opgrade to any version , not upgrade only to lts03:52
Bashing-omlapion: And what release is presently installed ?03:55
lapion16.04.403:56
lapion16.04.503:56
Bashing-omlapion: What returns ' grep "Prompt=" /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades ' ?04:02
lapionPrompt=lts04:04
Bashing-omlapion: Should workie ... what results ' sudo apt update ; sudo apt full-upgrade ' .04:05
lapion0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.04:07
lapionBashing-om, It won't upgrade on a newer laptop neither04:08

lapionwell the other laptop is upgrading right now but I had to set it to any-version..04:28
Bashing-omlapion: fingers crossed .. that the path is not through the EOL 17.10 !04:30
lapionnope04:31
lapionthe upgrader explicitly named 18.04.104:32
lapionBashing-om, it worked04:48

cbpyedoes the install media include some tools for repairing b0rked grub configs?05:21
Bashing-omcbpye: The install medium has the means to re-install grub .05:29
cbpyeBashing-om: Awesome!  I think it's hiding somewhere, though.  Can't seem to identify it.05:30
Bashing-omcbpye: What is the issue ? many times one can fix grub from that liveUSB.05:31
cbpyeIssue is that, after installation and upon reboot, I was presented with no prompt and could not press 'e' so that I could add the nomodeset option05:32
cbpyeso all I get upon booting is old-school scrambled naughty cable channels.05:33
cbpyebooted into the install medium, looking for tools to help fix the issue.05:33
snekmasterMuligan, I'm not sure entirely what you want, so I'll give you the gist: NFS mounts work the exact same as regular mounts, except you have to specify the type as NFS so something like 'mount -t NFS <server>:/NFS_directory /where_its_mounted'. For the location, either set that layout on your NFS server or do some kind of bash expansion with the mount command. Finally, once its mounted it would behave like any other filesystem.05:33
Bashing-omcbpye: EFI system ? then it is the escape key that grub looks for .05:34
cbpyeBashing-om: that right there is a level of inconsistency that is going to have me livid for days.05:36
cbpyegranted, it probably wouldn't have been so bad if I were presented with the same old prompts I had been getting through trials of various install media05:37
cbpyeor if the installation had taken note of my nonstandard boot line and thought to prompt me with changing the installed boot line05:38
cbpyeor if we could just banish the noveau driver to the seventh circle of hell where it belongs.05:38
cbpyeBashing-om: I don't know if it's because I was pressing ESC while booting, but I got the prompt this time and edited the boot line.05:46
cbpyeBashing-om: Thank you for your help!05:46
Bashing-omcbpye: cbpye Sometimes all it takes is someone to hold you hand :)05:51
lapioncbpye, nvidia drivers are closed source and prone to bugs nouveau has been really stable for me05:56
cbpyelapion: could it be something else then causing that issue?  All of these *buntu installation ISOs default nvidia card users to nouveau, correct?  what then could cause my display to not work in ever single instance, unless I add the nomodeset line?06:00

qwebirc42457no......when my laptop goes to sleep ......it cant wake up ......it shows (acpi INT3400:00: Unsupported event [0x86]) ....and i need to restart evrytime06:23
skullboxqwebirc42457, so then u havent turned hibernation off06:24

qwebirc42457when i press some key on the keybord/when i open laptops lid/ anything which wakes up a laptop from sleep.........it shows unsupported event06:25
Guest23681Cant you boot to recovery mode and edit the event log to get some details which could perhaps give you some leads?06:26
skullboxqwebirc42457, like i said u need to turn hibernation off. you must have missed one of the setting for it, theres 2 usually06:26
skullboxno dont do that06:26

skullboxGuest23681, please dont put ask people to do stuff that might make their situation worse06:27

skullboxhibernation has always been finiky with linux. if it gives you issues just turn it off. simple06:27
qwebirc42457there are only three actions...sleep,power off,nothing.....in the power settings ...which one should i choose06:29
skullboxqwebirc42457, what desktop are u using? gnome or unity or somethign else06:29
Guest23681Well, as I said before.. considering the fact you have used various approaches, pardon my repetituous comment but you probably need it to throw it on the floor06:30

=== guiverc_d is now known as guiverc
qwebirc42457ok...these might help.....but.....i can never put my laptop in sleep then?06:32
skullboxalso if ur the type of person who closes their laptop lid theres an option in the gome tweak tool that causes the computer to suspend when u close the lid. u can turn that one off there as well06:32

qwebirc42457thank you very much skullbox!.......i dunno why do uncivilised ppl like Guest23681 still exist.....thank you very much skull06:34
Guest23681Why not putting to sleep? just find a technique similar to coffee to deal with the sleep issue06:34
skullboxqwebirc42457, my pleasure06:34
skullboxGuest23681, ur input isnt needed06:35
skullboxand the tool ur referring to is called caffeine not coffee06:35
myselfdisabling suspend will at least help narrow down the issue. You might find that hibernate works and suspend doesn't, for instance, and be able to work around it that way.06:36
Guest23681No problem, thank you for omitting my opinion since I am black.. dont worry , I can probably find a way to bleach  my skin06:36
aloo_shuI think it would be worth asking which laptop - bios acpi or or acpi module can be buggy - and there's the noacpi boot option. But setting 'when the lid is closed' to nothing' or 'turn off display', 'when suspend button is pressed' to 'do nothing', and 'when power button is pressed' to 'ask' is often good enough, dto. for low/critical batt06:36

Sangeet i am going to install ubuntu but in video it is showing that i should shrink the disk volume,what does it mean?06:58
Sangeetwill it format my c drive data?06:58
Sangeetanyine?06:59
guivercSangeet, Ubuntu needs space to install itself into, so the 'shrink' will mean reducing the space allocated to windows to create this space (assuming dual boot)07:00
ducasseSangeet: shrinking a drive will not delete anything, but you should always backup just in case something goes wrong07:00
Sangeetthanks both of you,,i have few small questions07:00
Sangeetyes i am going to install ubuntu in already installed windows for now i have 41/98 gb data already allocated for windows.07:01
Sangeet41/98 gb means 41 gb is already used ducasse guiverc07:04
ducasseSangeet: you don't install it in your windows partition, the installer creates a new one07:04
Sangeetducasse: so what should i do?should i directly go into installing mode without shrink or other things?07:06
lotuspsychjeSangeet: as ducasse suggests, setup will automaticly choose the layout on your free space07:07
Sangeetlotuspsychje: so i dont need to shrink space,right07:08
Sangeet?07:08
lotuspsychjeSangeet: its the users choice, what is it you actually want to do? just dualboot?07:08
ducasseshrink the windows partition from windows first, it's the safest way07:08
ducasseSangeet: ^^07:09
Sangeetlotuspsychje: yes i am want to install my ubuntu in already installed windows 1007:09
ducasse'alongside', not 'in'07:09
lotuspsychjeSangeet: so 41gig is for windows, means ubuntu will use 57gig for ubuntu, do you want this?07:09
Sangeetsorry ducasse you are right alongside windows07:10
Sangeetlotuspsychje: i installed windows in C: which has remaining 41 gb out of 98 gb07:11
lotuspsychjeSangeet: when i scroll up you say 41g was in use?07:12
ducasse41gb remaining or used? you've said both now :)07:12
Sangeetlotuspsychje: sorry,41 gb remaining07:13
lotuspsychjeSangeet: ..but that doesnt matter, do you want your free space to be used by ubuntu install?07:13
Sangeetprocess shows remining GBs07:13
Sangeetlotuspsychje: yes i am want to install ubuntu in that free space07:14
lotuspsychjeSangeet: good, then take ducasse's advice install alongside windows, let setup calculate the partition layout07:14
Sangeetbut i am not sure how much GBs will be left?what to enter into shrink options?07:14
Sangeethow much GBs ubuntu complete installation takes ?07:15
lotuspsychjeSangeet: i think you confuse things here... you think if ubuntu will install on free space, your hd will be full?07:15
SangeetSorry guys07:16
Sangeetbut i have to do simple thing here07:16
Sangeeti have to install Ubuntu along side windows 1007:16
ducasseSangeet: an ubuntu install will take about 10g, i guess, but you can easily use more07:17
lotuspsychjeSangeet: on both sides ubuntu & windows you still will have free space07:17
Sangeeti have 41 gb data free in the disk where i am want to install ubuntu &07:17
Sangeeti am confuse how much MBs i should enter in shrink menu?07:17
Sangeetcan i install windows & ubuntu in same disk?07:17
lotuspsychjeSangeet: why do you keep focussing on shrinking?07:17
ducasseenter how much you want ubuntu to have access to07:18
Sangeetlotuspsychje: in the video it is shown as a process to do before installing ubuntu,i dont know is it necessary or not?07:18
ducasseif you want to use 15gb for ubuntu, enter that07:18
lotuspsychjeSangeet: ^07:18
ducasseit is safer to do it from windows first07:18
Sangeetducasse: OK if i use 15 gb out of 41 then can i use remaining 26gbs from the same disk & other disk storage?07:20
ducassethe remaining space will be left for windows, as it is now07:20
Sangeetlotuspsychje: is shrink necessary?07:21
lotuspsychjeSangeet: already told you, its the users choice..what you want yourself07:21
Sangeetducasse: so i can only use 15 gb when i will use UBuntu,right?07:21
ducassei've answered that. yes, it is, and it's safer to do from windows.07:21
Sangeetgot it ducasse07:22
ducasseyou can use however much space you want, but i recommend at least 10-15gb07:22
ducasseit quickly fills up when you start installing things, and your homedir takes space too07:22
Sangeetducasse: i mean after installing ubuntu,can i use other disk storage too?07:23
ducasseubuntu can access your windows partitions, if that's what you mean07:24
SittingGnuSangeet: any disk storage can be used07:24
Sangeetgot it SittingGnu07:24
SittingGnuSangeet: just make sure to always unmount before you shut off07:25
Sangeetducasse: ok.that means i can use D:  & E: too07:25
Sangeetshut off?? mount? SittingGnu07:25
ducasseyes07:25
SittingGnu? Sangeet07:26
SangeetSittingGnu: shut off means shut down?what is unmount here?07:26
SittingGnuyes to use you mount07:26
SittingGnuyou click and it appears mounted like on a mac07:27
SittingGnuthe drive appears on your desktop07:27
SittingGnuthen you click unmount before you shut down07:27
Sangeetducasse: so i should first allow 15gb via shrink option  then restart computer & install ubuntu to get option of Dual boot after each start .right?07:27
ducasseSangeet: yes, more space if you think you need it - 15gb is not much07:28
Sangeetducasse: but you said i can use D: & E: too,then why should i allocate more GBs?07:29
ducasseyou can store files etc on windows drives, but you can't use them for installing programs, for example07:30
ducassethey don't support linux permissions07:30
Sangeetducasse: oops...then probably i have to allow 40 GB out of 41 as i can install programs in other directories while using windows07:31
Sangeetducasse: what is unmount thing SittingGnu said?07:32
lotuspsychje!mount | Sangeet07:32
ubottuSangeet: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount07:32
ducasseSangeet: as long as you shutdown properly, you don't need to worry about unmounting now07:33
Sangeetducasse: what will if i aam forget to shut down properly?07:34
lotuspsychjeSangeet: just install alongside windows...07:34
lotuspsychjeSangeet: we have giving you alot of information already, now time for action07:34
Sangeetlotuspsychje: i am asking this because i dont have back up of windows07:35
ducasseSangeet: you can read the link from ubottu to know all about mounting and unmounting07:35
lotuspsychjeSangeet: its not wise to install dualboot, without having a backup..07:35
lotuspsychjeSangeet: we stronly suggest you backup your needed data external07:36
Sangeetlotuspsychje: i did back up of needed data but not windows07:36
Sangeet& why external?i copied all imp data into other drives where windows is not installed07:37
lotuspsychjeSangeet: on the same harddisk?07:37
Sangeetlotuspsychje: yes,in my latops's harddisk ,i just copied data from C: (windows installed) to D: & :07:37
SangeetE:07:38
lotuspsychjeSangeet: from w10 you can make backup of your windows too07:38
lotuspsychjeSangeet: you sure its not 1 big harddisk divided in partitions?07:38
lotuspsychjeSangeet: not so much laptops have 2 harddisks by default07:39
* Sangeet sorry for my english but i am doing that deliberately07:39
Sangeeti mean am not07:39
ducassethat's ok, if we don't understand you we'll ask07:41
Sangeetthanks guys for understand the situation07:47
ducassei advise you to try out a live session first, to see if your hardware works07:49

guivercdenafig, in my experience, some tvs don't show the full image (overscan I think it's called), where sides (top/bottom) of image can be invisible to hide any black 'box'.  changing resolutions can help, but tv specific..08:04
guiverc/ sorry ignore my last; if you have all panels in guest; it's unlikely what i was thinking08:05
denafig<guiverc> it was ok, but I shot down my pc not carefully, and now it's no pannels I see, but mate think they are working good08:05

cbpyelotuspsychje: Ubuntu 18.04, using an NVIDIA Corporation GM206 [GeForce GTX 960]08:46
cbpyelotuspsychje: also of note, lsmod shows that nouveau is still loaded08:46
lotuspsychjecbpye: perhaps try to install nvidia-390 from tty then?08:47
cbpyelotuspsychje: also, this behaviour was consistent throughout the day as I tried install media for Mint 19, KDE Neon, and finally Kubuntu.08:47
lotuspsychjecbpye: gtx cards have this issue alot, mostly we can bypass with nomodeset to get in the system, and install the nvidia driver08:47
lotuspsychjecbpye: to see wich drivers available for your system: ubuntu-drivers list08:48
cbpyelotuspsychje: trying to install nvidia-390, got a message about the package not being available but being referred to by another package.  Looks like I need a new repository.08:49
lotuspsychjecbpye: check first with ubuntu-drivers list, wich drivers are there for your card08:50
lotuspsychjecbpye: to install reccomended driver you can also try: ubuntu-drivers autoinstall08:51
cbpyelotuspsychje: nvidia-driver-390; the autoinstall returned "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded."08:52
lotuspsychjecbpye: so that would mean 390 is already active then?08:53
lotuspsychjecbpye: did your list, gave you more driver versions?08:53
phaze75hi guys08:54
lotuspsychjewelcome phaze75 how can we help you today?08:56
phaze75lotuspsychje: I was trying to do a do-release-upgrade with my 16.05 LTS server. It keeps telling me there is no new release.08:57
lotuspsychjephaze75: 18.04.1 will come soon available, but not yet at this moment08:57
lotuspsychje!ltsupgrade | phaze7508:58
ubottuphaze75: Upgrades from 16.04 LTS will not be enabled until a few days after the 18.04.1 release expected in late July.08:58
denafighow can I run display settings window thru the terminal command?08:58
phaze75lotuspsychje: thanks but I read that. 18.04.1 has been released on the 25th. today is the 29th. how many days are considered to be "a few days"?09:00
lotuspsychjephaze75: yes 18.04.1 is out, but for the LTS upgrade path a few days are needed for the devs, please let them do their jobs for a good release experience09:01
cbpyelotuspsychje: nvidia-settings is installed, but running it is very very different than I've ever seen before.  Like, it's missing a lot of stuff that should be there.09:01
ducassephaze75: no way to know, you need to ask the devs. (or just wait for it to be ready)09:02
cbpyelotuspsychje: and lsmod shows nothing about the proper nvidia driver.  it's all nouveau there.09:02
lotuspsychjecbpye: sudo lshw -C video and check driver= at bottom09:02
cbpyelotuspsychje: there is no line there that says anything about a driver.09:03
lotuspsychjecbpye: your card shows 'unclaimed' at top then?09:04
phaze75lotuspsychje: ducasse: ok, thanks09:04
cbpyelotuspsychje: yep.09:04
lotuspsychjecbpye: yeah then nvidia driver didnt install well09:04
cbpyethink I read something about a purge command.  this is when I use that, right?09:05
lotuspsychjecbpye: how about you try again: sudp apt purge nvidia* to fall back to nouveau, get in your system and try again ubuntu-drivers autoinstall09:05
lotuspsychje*sudo09:05
lotuspsychjecbpye: you havent yet told me wich drivers were in your list?09:05
lotuspsychjecbpye: is it only 390 or are there more available?09:06
cbpyeonly 390 were in that initial list.09:06
lotuspsychjecbpye: ok tnx, another option could be adding the ubuntu graphics drivers ppa and try with another later driver09:06
cbpyeguess I'll try rebooting now09:10
lotuspsychjecbpye: working?09:14
cbpyelotuspsychje: rebooted.  Nvidia settings is no longer available.  ubuntu-drivers list shows 390 available.  going to try the autoinstall now.09:14
lotuspsychjecbpye: if that does not work, try the ubuntu graphics ppa version 390.7709:15

TJ-Asad2005: purging sounds like a sane approach11:53
Asad2005TJ-: But do i have to install ubuntu-desktop afterward as suggested?11:59
Asad2005TJ-: nvidia-common is reported a dependency for ubuntu-desktop12:01

TJ-Asad2005: ubuntu-desktop is a virtual package that should be already installed - it just depends on all the required packages to make the GUI work12:07
luxioMy wifi was working last night, and I woke up and now it's not. How do I troubleshoot this?12:07
luxioIt's working on my phone.12:07
TJ-Asad2005: don't worry about that; nvidia-common is a transistional package for avoiding breakage when doing release upgrades (e.g. from 14.04 to 16.04). It contains nothing useful12:07
Asad2005TJ-: So no need to reinstall ubuntu-desktop afterward?12:08
TJ-Asad2005: what release are you on, 16.04? Here, on 18.04, nvidia-common is NOT a dependency of ubuntu-desktop, but of ubuntu-drivers-common12:09
Asad2005TJ-: on 18.0412:11
TJ-Asad2005: in which case you're fine to leave nvidia-common in place, it has nothing in it except copyright and changelog files!12:12
TJ-Asad2005: you can see that with "dpkg -L nvidia-common"12:12
Asad2005but purging nvidia drivers with "sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-*"? will also remove nvidia-common how to exclude it ?12:14
=== Dreaman is now known as Blade
TJ-Asad2005: Just  "apt purge nvidia-XXX" where XXX is the version, that will depend on everything else. Then, use "apt autoremove" which will remove all other package no longer required12:17

tomreynhays: since ubuntu kernels use apparmor by default, and i don't think you can have multiple of these acces control systems have next to another, you'd then need to build your own kernels. also a couple of ubuntu features depend on apparmor profiles (i think lxd does), so you'd need to rewrite those to ensure you don't create attack surfces you would not expect to have with apparmor wnabled.12:30

conallHi. I am seeing what I think is a bug in networkmanager, but I would just like to run it by ye first if thats ok. I disabled ipv6 via the sysctl.conf method, and then ran "sysctl -p" and "ip a" then showed no ipv6 address as expected. I then restarted the network-manger unit and "ip a" then showed an ipv6 address. This is defo a bug, yes?12:59
qwebirc79043Yes. It show before boot.12:59
brainwashqwebirc79043: did you look in the bios/uefi settings yet?12:59
conallUbuntu 18.04 also12:59
qwebirc79043Ok. Il give it a try. Thanks.13:00
tomreynqwebirc79043: you can try asking in äähardware, if anywhere, you'll probably be able to set this on your eufi/bios  using the "full screen / logo boot" option.13:00

tomreynconall: what did you add to sysctl.conf ?13:03
conalltomreyn: net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1   ..... Did this four times replacing "all" with each of my if names13:05
conalland also for "default"13:05
tomreynconall: chances are (i.e. i have not verified this)  that network manager enables ipv6 for interfaces it manages by default, simply overriding your sysctl configuration.13:05
conalltomreyn: In the network manager gui pane, I have also set IPv6 to "disabled"13:06
tomreynYou can disable IPv6 on NetworkManager as follows: Open the wired connection on NetworkManager, click on "IPv6 Settings" tab, and choose "Ignore" in "Method" field. Save the change and exit.13:06
conalltomreyn: have done this already. The method for ipv6 is set to disable13:07
tomreyni don't see 'disabled' there, but then i'm on 16.0413:08
tomreyni'll check on a VM now13:08
conalltomreyn: cheers13:08
tomreyni see what you mean13:09
tomreynso, to me, on first sight, it looks like a bug then, too.13:10
conallCan you reproduce it? You are also getting an IPv6 address with it "disabled" in network manager?13:10
tomreynaside from that i'd like to recommend against disabling ipv613:10
tomreyni haven't tried this, yet, let's see13:10
conallWhen I use a vpn, it doesnt hide my ipv6 ip though. So that is not possible for me13:11
tomreynconall: i guess you could just diable ipv6 for the tun/tap device.13:15
conallDid that also, no effect13:15
tomreynand the vpn doesn't support ipv6?13:16
conallNo13:16
conallits PIA13:16
tomreynconall: so i have disabled ipv6 via sysctl, set the ipv6 connection to diabled in NM, then rebooted, and have no ipv6 address.13:17
TJ-conall: /var/log/syslog gets very verbose logging from NM, which may give a clue.13:17
TJ-conall: what type of IPv6 address(es) are being assigned to the interface? They could be local-net only13:18
=== davor_ is now known as davor
conallTJ-: They are not local-net. When I "whois" them, I get details for my ISP13:19
tomreynhere's what i added to /etc/sysctl.d/99-sysctl.conf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/CCQK2d6pVc/13:19
TJ-conall: ok, so that sounds like they're delegated prefix then?13:19
TJ-conall: Is it possible you have both systemd-networkd AND NetworkManager active? "systemctl status systemd-networkd"13:20
conallTJ-: Not quite sure what "delegated prefix" means, sorry13:21
conallTJ-: loaded & inactive13:21
tomreynconall: i manually restarted network-manager, still no ipv613:22
TJ-conall: your ISP is likely delegating a /64 prefix to your home gateway router, which then hands out addresses in that range using either DHCPv6 and/or RA (router advertisement)13:22

YesManFor some reason my browser swont connect to the internet in ubuntu.  or my hexchat.  yet other apps like qtox chat will connect.   how to fix this issue?  thanks13:26
tomreynconall: so this is actually about wireless?13:26
conalltomreyn: yes13:26
conallIs that different somehow?13:26
routermatertomreyn: SORRY I am trying to figure out how to upload a screenshot in ubuntu....13:27
tomreynconall: i guess not really, i just focussed on testing with the wired connection and didnt think about how wireless might be different13:27
conallYeah I would imagine its the same tbh13:28
routermatertomreyn: Right, back to the issue, I am trying to install mongodb on my laptop and it has been showing this error where it says I have broken packages https://0x0.st/sWoG.png13:28
tomreynroutermater: you can save it to a file or copy it to the clipboard, then paste / upload on imgur.com13:28

fastputyHello!13:28
routermaterroutermater: Im trying to not use the normal method :D and learn cli stuff :313:28
routermater^ yikes13:29
conalltomreyn: Are you 18.04.01 or 18.04? I am 18.04.01.13:29
fastputysomeone help me out with something, my load is around 2.5 2.5 and 2.513:29
routermatertomreyn^*13:29
fastputybut i cannot identify the source of the problem13:29
tomreynconall: can you show the exact lines you have on sysctl? and where on sysctl did you configure it exactly?13:29
fastputymy top show almost nothing in cpu consumption13:29
YesMananyone know why my browsers wont connect to internet? but my internet is connected13:29
conalltomreyn: Its shown in the console logs after I did a sysctl -p13:29
tomreynconall: 18.04.113:30
routermaterCan someone please help? :O13:30
fastputysomeone help me out with something, my load is around 2.5 2.5 and 2.5, but top show no heavy consumption.13:30
TJ-conall: try this: "find /proc/sys/net/ -name '*_ra' -exec sudo sh -c 'echo 0 > {}' \;" ... if it works, use your sysctl nobs to turn RA off13:30
TJ-conall: the "accept_ra" nob is probably set to 113:30
routermaterum :313:31
conallTJ-: This would probably work, but I would rather find out why this is not working for me but working for tomreyn13:31
tomreynconall: sysctl -p only loads configuration that are placed in /etc/sysctl.conf , none of those in /etc/sysctl.d/, at least that's according to its man page.13:31
tomreynconall: which means that during a standard boot, different configuration may be applied, and in different order13:32
conallyep its in sysctl.conf. I am sure that it has an effect as it changes the values in /proc/sys/net/...13:32
tomreynroutermater: looking now13:32
routermaterclear :313:32
TJ-conall: does syslog reveal anything about what is assigning the IPv6 ?13:33
tomreynroutermater: don't mix apt repositories made for different ubuntu releases, unless it's explicitly stated that it's safe to do so.13:34
fastputysomeone help me out with something, my load is around 2.5 2.5 and 2.5, but cpu show no heavy consumption and iotop neither.13:34
tomreynroutermater: you have a repo.mongodb.org repository configured for 'xenial' (ubuntu 16.04)13:35
routermatertomreyn: Im using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and I dont find any documentation on mongodb's website for this release :/ and they only have 14 and 16 listed13:35
conallTJ-: Just looking at that now. The first IPv6 related entry is regarding avahi-daemon. But even when I disabled avahi-daemon,, the problem still arises13:36
routermatertomreyn: Soo what can I do?13:36
TJ-avahi is a zero-conf/bonjour daemon, it uses multicast to advertise names and services on interfaces/IP addresses, as they appear13:36
conallTJ-: yes I know. I dont think this would be the cause13:37
TJ-conall: if you can share the syslog I might be able to identify something13:38
tomreynroutermater: you can use the packages ubuntu provides.13:38
tomreyn!info mongodb bionic13:39
ubottuPackage mongodb does not exist in bionic13:39
tomreyn^ thats a lie13:39
TJ-!info mongodb-server13:40
ubottumongodb-server (source: mongodb): object/document-oriented database (managed server package). In component universe, is optional. Version 1:3.6.3-0ubuntu1 (bionic), package size 12 kB, installed size 74 kB13:40
TJ-ubottu doesn't do source package names :)13:40
ubottuTJ-: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)13:40
TJ-ubottu: we know, we know!13:40
ubottuTJ-: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)13:40
tomreynTJ-: but should it not have done this? https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/mongodb13:40
routermaterHmm oaky let me try this13:40
routermater:O13:40
conallTJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/C9gj7d4mXt/13:41
conallTJ-: Thanks13:41
TJ-tomreyn: I've always wished the bot would do source13:41
tomreynthis is a binary metapackage in universe13:41
tomreynbut source would be nice, too13:41
shandianhello13:42
tomreynhi shananigans13:43
TJ-conall: ouch! it's full of gnome shell stacktraces - something wrong there you need to fix!13:43
tomreynoops13:43
TJ-tomreyn: :p13:43
conallTJ-: Yeah I noticed that, Any idea what might be causing that?13:44
routermatertomreyn: Cool Thanks!!13:44
tomreynroutermater: you're welcome13:44
tomreynfastputy: can you show "vmstat"13:47
tomreynfastputy: also tell us about your ubuntu version and hardware13:48
TJ-conall: From what I can tell, NM is not responsible for the IPv6 addresses being added, so I'm suspecting it's a router advertisement, or some other dameon on that PC. if it isn't RA it could be something like13:48
TJ-!info dhcpcd5 | conall13:48
ubottuconall: dhcpcd5 (source: dhcpcd5): DHCPv4, IPv6RA and DHCPv6 client with IPv4LL support. In component universe, is optional. Version 6.11.5-0ubuntu1 (bionic), package size 162 kB, installed size 397 kB13:48
conallTJ-: so what can I do to make sure IPv6 stays disabled. Interestingly enough, the bools in /proc/sys/net/.../disable_ipv6 go from 1 to 013:52
TJ-conall: at what point do they change? when NM is bringing up the wifi i/f ?13:53
conallTJ-: yes, when I restart network-manager13:54
routermatertomreyn: Is it common for mongod-server to be initialized as a service?13:55
tomreynwhen i remove the sysctl configurations to disable ipv6 and restart NM, i see that /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/enp0s3/disable_ipv6 changes form 1 to 013:55
tomreynroutermater: yes, i would think so. a systemd service.13:55
routermatertomreyn: If I stop the service, it doesnt start up again the next time i restart my laptop huh?13:56
TJ-conall: to save messing about how about simply "sudo ip6tables -P OUTPUT DROP; sudo ip6tables -P FORWARD DROP" ?"13:57
TJ-conall: you could use UFW or something else to save/restore rules on shutdown/boot13:57
TJ-conall: oh and of course "sudo iptables -P INPUT DROP"13:58
tomreynroutermater: how did you stop it?13:59
TJ-conall: you could use 'tcpdump' to check it is RAs causing the address assignment, and if so, block those ICMPv6 packets13:59
routermatertomreyn: sudo service mongodb stop13:59
georgeGuys13:59
georgeYou have problems with the PulseAudio thing13:59
georgeEvery time  I start Linux14:00
georgeMicrophone problems14:00
georgeHow do you fix this ?14:00
tomreynroutermater: hmm i would stioll expect it to start up again after reboot. you should use systemctl on ubuntu 18.04 rather than 'service', though.14:00
routermatertomreyn: Okay, thanks.14:00
conallTJ-: Grand, thanks. I think I will just add those commands to network-managers if-up.d and if-down.d scripts. Still not sure why this doesnt work for me but works for tomreyn14:00
tomreynroutermater: can you show systemctl status mongodb14:01

tomreynconall: i (atill) assume you may be configuring it in the wrong place for sysctl. try adding it to the end of /etc/sysctl.d/99-sysctl.conf14:03
conalltomreyn: That file is a symlink to /etc/sysctl.conf14:04
conallThe reason for that is so that it takes precedence over other /etc/sysctl.d/*.conf scripts14:04

Internet_guyEriC^^:16:23
lotuspsychjecbpye: did you try 390.77 specificly?16:23
Internet_guyshould i format the partion in ext4 ?16:23
blspider:/ internet connection lost16:23
EriC^^Internet_guy: if you want only linux support yeah16:24
EriC^^Internet_guy: ntfs would work for windows & linux16:24
Internet_guyOkay16:25
EriC^^Internet_guy: the reason the permissions didnt work was that ext4 has root permissions by default, and they're saved to the filesystem, ntfs doesnt use linux permissions so it gets 'fake permissions' assigned when you mount it each time (just a fyi)16:25
cbpyelotuspsychje: purging again, then rebooting.  I'll see if I can specifically get 390.77 after that.16:26
lotuspsychjekk16:26
tonymkeHello friends. I've been struggling a bit to get a dual-gpu multimonitor setup working. I've managed to create a xinerama-based xorg.conf where all the screens are on and i can move the mouse cursor between them properly, but the screens are black sans the mouse cursor on boot. Is there something I need to do to inform gnome of what the X screen to render on is or something?16:26
EriC^^Internet_guy: so basically, if you make a ext4, you'll need to manually set the permissions once using chown, whereas with ntfs the filemanager will take care of setting the fake permissions when you mount it from there so your user is the owner16:27
cbpyelotuspsychje: rebooted post-purge.  running sudo lshw -numeric -C display still shows that the card is UNCLAIMED.16:29

Aviram2Is there any mirror/backup/archive anywhere?16:32
Aviram2I don't want to compile my way to stable toolchain Ubuntu 12.02 :(16:33
EriC^^assuming you know what you're getting into, the old repos can be found at old-releases.ubuntu.com , switching that in your sources.list should make apt work again16:33

TJ-cbpye: SecureBoot is a part of the UEFI specification. The problem with nvidia proprietary drives is they are not signed so cannot be loaded by the Linux kernel when in SecureBoot mode16:52

CommonCentsI actually do sign kernel modules (for VirtualBox) with a MOK.    It's a bit to set up.   Not terribly difficult.16:54
CommonCentsYou just have to remember to sign things with the MOK after any upgrades to the modules involved.16:54
Lord-KaminaIs the awesome bash auto-completion extension thing a bash4 feature or specific to ubuntu?16:54
Lord-KaminaGotta say, I kinda really miss that in mac.16:54
CommonCents@Lord-Kamina,  I think it's a feature of bash,16:55
esroany1 know addon for clipboarding ?16:55
Internet_guyhey i have got an issue again EriC^^16:55
esroi want to store some stuff and be able to pick what i am pasting16:55
CommonCents@Lord-Kamina,  the auto-completion seems to work on other distros for me.16:55
Lord-KaminaCommonCents I see, nice.16:56
Internet_guymount: /dev/sda3: can't find in /etc/fstab.16:56
Internet_guy i have restarted the system and now it's not auto mounting16:56
Lord-KaminaActually, a quick look into macports says there's bash-completion port but I'm not sure if it's the same or an alternative implementation of the feature.16:57

Internet_guyhttp://termbin.com/yee116:58
Lord-KaminaUgh, biggest problem is I'd have to migrate my macports install to my internal disk.16:59
CommonCentsI have a question for the room.   I just got a new (to me, used/refurb) laptop after dumping a cup of coffee in my last one.   I have the drive from the previous laptop.  It was Xubuntu 16.04.   The new laptop came with a 1TB internal drive.  I've set it up using the "full system encryption manual setup"   at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManualFullSystemEncryption.  I need to duplicate the software package settings from m16:59
CommonCentsy old drive and copy my /home/*  data from the old drive.16:59
EriC^^Internet_guy: how are you trying to mount /dev/sda4 ?17:01
Internet_guyEriC^^, it didn't took place automatically this time as i restart17:01
Internet_guysudo mount /dev/sda317:01
EriC^^Internet_guy: is it not in the filemanager?17:02
zWI'm looking for other sysadmins using 10G nics in DELL PE630 Ubuntu (16.04.4) running servers.17:02
EriC^^CommonCents: this command gives a close list of the manually installed packages17:02
EriC^^http://termbin.com/h5n117:02
alcaneI have a 3.3GB mp4 that won't open in vlc or mpv. Ideas on how I should go about cutting this down? How can I find how long the video is?17:03
Internet_guyEriC^^, no17:03
CommonCentsIs the best way to get the software packages right to chroot into the old system and do a sudo dpkg -l | grep ^ii | awk '{print $2}' and pipe that to a file, then on the new system do a sudo apt install `cat packagelist` on the new system?17:03
EriC^^CommonCents: you'd want to do "command here > /path/to/packageslist" then copy the file to the new pc and run "sudo xargs -a /path/to/packageslist apt-get -y install"17:03
EriC^^CommonCents: that would work, although it would install the main packages and their dependencies as separately installed packages17:04
EriC^^Internet_guy: try "sudo mount /dev/sda4 /mnt"17:05
CommonCentsSo it wouldn't keep dependencies?17:05
EriC^^CommonCents: if you ever remove a package, autoremove wouldnt remove the dependencies17:06
CommonCentsOK, but your "showmanual" way would?17:06
mojtabaHello, do you know any app like top, which tracks network bandwidth and activity?17:06
EriC^^CommonCents: yeah, that list is closer to the actual package list than packages+deps17:06
EriC^^mojtaba: nethogs iftop17:07
mojtabaEriC^^: What is iftop?17:08
EriC^^mojtaba: i think you want iftop, nethogs is more program oriented17:08
tonymkeAlright, I've poked in the syslog RE: x running but no actual logon screen. gnome seems upset that xrandr is disabled (disabled automatically when xinerama is enabled)17:08
EriC^^mojtaba: it shows network activity on an interface17:08
mojtabaEriC^^: thanks17:08
EriC^^np17:08
TJ-CommonCents: mount the old root file-system, chroot into it, install package "debfoster", initialise its cache "sudo debfoster -q" then get a list of the packages with "debfoster --show-keepers"17:09
tonymkeIs there a way to make gnome-shell chill with not having xrandr?17:10
TJ-CommonCents: then feed that list to the new system's apt install as EriC^^ suggested via xargs17:10
CommonCents@TJ-   I'm really trying to preserve the old drive,  will probably mount it ro.17:10
Internet_guyEriC^^, https://transfer.sh/12h0DN/img.png17:10
CommonCentsAnd it looks like apt-mark showmanual is the list I need.   Run on both systems, then diff, and apt install  the ones that are only on the old system17:11
Internet_guy<EriC^^> Internet_guy: try "sudo mount /dev/sda4 /mnt" Not yet17:13
Internet_guyit's mounted but not displaying on filemanager17:13
CommonCentsSecond question for the room. I want to restore my users (a few people in the household use this machine, and I have two separate accounts, one for personal stuff, one for business files and stuff).    Which /etc/* files have all the user and group info from the old system?   /etc/passwd is obvious.  I know others are involved too.17:13
CommonCentsI'll need the users to have same UIDs and GIDs for their home directories to have proper permissions, right?17:14
EriC^^CommonCents: the command already does a diff with the initial package status17:15
EriC^^(a comm actually)17:16
EriC^^CommonCents: yeah, same uid and gid17:17
=== EriC^^ is now known as greentea
=== greentea is now known as EriC^^
CommonCentsSo which files from etc have to be copied to get the same users, UIDs and GIDs from the old system drive onto the new one?17:19
CommonCentsfrom /etc17:19
EriC^^CommonCents: if you're the only user it's usually "1000" so the new system should have it already, grep <your user> /etc/passwd should show the uid17:20
CommonCentsI'm not the only user.17:20
CommonCentsI'm sure I have mine correct now.    Although new password.  I need to get the others (there are 4 others that are important) and I don't remember specifically what order they were added.17:21
EriC^^CommonCents: ok, get the uid from the grep command, and once you copy everything over run "sudo chown -R $USER: ~/"  and you should be good17:22
CommonCentsThat's why I'd rather just copy the files from the old system.   Some of the packages installed also added groups, and permissions for that stuff needs to be right.   I really, really need to copy the full config files from the old drive.17:22
EriC^^CommonCents: why not just copy the stuff over and chown the stuff as per user and let the programs do their thing, apt will add the groups and stuff17:24
CommonCentsInstalling the package won't add users to groups that I had to add manually.     I guess I need to google which files PAM uses for users and groups, and how to transfer from old drive to new.17:25
TJ-CommonCents: /etc/passwd, /etc/group, /etc/shadow17:26
TJ-CommonCents: if you copy those in first before installing packages, then the packages won't try to create new users17:26
Snow-Mangshadow..17:26
TJ-CommonCents: or... they ought not to17:27
TJ-Snow-Man: thanks, yeah... CommonCents /etc/gshadow too (group shadow - although rarely is there a group password set)17:27
CommonCents@TJ- so you'd copy those four files before installing the packages?  /etc/passwd, /etc/group, /etc/shadow and /etc/gshadow17:32
TJ-CommonCents: not as simple I'm afraid, you'd need to intelligently sync them with what is already installed!17:33
TJ-I'd only want to copy from those entries that don't already exist in the running system otherwise you'll mess it up badly17:34
CommonCentsI'll keep a backup of what's already installed.   I'm hoping since this is just a fresh install, it should be the same base I started with.17:34
TJ-Depending on the order packages get installed the usernames and UID numbers may vary17:34
CommonCentsI may diff or compare the two passwd and group files to make sure they only have additions17:34
Mark______hi17:35
CommonCentsRight, and I want them to be exactly as they were on the old system, so the data copied will have the correct permissions17:35
TJ-CommonCents: there are lots of system service accounts below UID 1000 to deal with17:35
Mark______can someone help with a Ubuntu install17:35
CommonCentsI understand. I need to see how the files compare.17:35
TJ-CommonCents: you've got to ensure the file-system owner:group match the passwd/group file entries on the target :)17:35
Bashing-om!ask | Mark______17:36
ubottuMark______: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience17:36
TJ-CommonCents: as in, the UID numbers, not the names you see. use "stat /path/to/dir" or "ls -nl /path/to/dir" to check17:36
TJ-CommonCents: are source and target using the same Ubuntu release?17:37
Mark______after I have booted up the install version of Ubuntu and did a restart then unplugged the USB drive with the Ubuntu iso, it won't restart again17:37
CommonCentsthey are on the same release, yes.    I think the source was installed 14.04LTS and upgraded to 16.04LTS a couple years ago.  I installed 16.04LTS from the ISO on the new drive.17:38
TJ-CommonCents: OK, that's removing some very large challenges :)17:38
CommonCentsJust checked,  except for one user, there are only additions in the /etc/passwd on the old system.17:38
TJ-CommonCents: that's a promising start then17:39
CommonCentsuser "whoopsie" has a different GID.17:39
CommonCentsand /etc/group files look like the same thing.  Only whoopsie group has different GID17:40
Bashing-omMark______: Sounds like grub did not install to the hard drive . Is this an EFI system ?17:40
EriC^^Mark______: you installed ubuntu from the live usb, unplugged it and restart but it doesnt boot the install?17:40
TJ-CommonCents: personally I'd do it the other way around! I'd use LVM, create LVs same size as the source file-systems, copy in the original root-fs and /home/ and so forth, then change the GRUB config to boot the new (old) LV file-systems :)17:40
CommonCentsI'll see if there are any files or directories with the GID for "whoopsie"17:41
Mark______yes I get Ubuntu to work and looks like it's installing on the hard drive but it won't boot from the hard drive17:41
TJ-CommonCents: once it's booting correctly I'd then "lvextend -L + ???G VG-LV" and "resize2fs /dev/mapper/VG-LV" to increase the size of those17:41
Mark______Eric that is exactly it17:41
CommonCentsThe big issue with that is the old drive wasn't configured with LVM, and my new installation is using LVM and encryption for the full system.17:41
TJ-CommonCents: so bascially clone and then grow the file-systems17:42
Bashing-omMark______: If this is a EFI system I can not help as I have not the experience .17:42
Mark______sorry for my ignorance Bashing-om I don't know if it's a EFI system, it's on a Dell Inspiron laptop17:43
TJ-CommonCents: it's not though, you can ignore that - all you have to do is copy over the file-system(s) - if you've got disk > partition (LUKS) -> LVM(PV) > LVM(VG) >LVM(LVs) you can clone the file-systems from source into new LVs, then switch the GRUB config to use those LVs17:43
Mark______I can run Ubuntu from the USB and it works which is like half-way there but I want it to be the operating system on the computer17:44
TJ-CommonCents: if you've got FDE I assume there's a separate /boot/ file-system on target ?17:44
CommonCentsI tried that and I couldn't figure out all the stuff to allow grub to boot the encrypted LV's.17:44
TJ-CommonCents: GRUB shouldn't need to know about the LUKS encryption; that is done by the Linux initrd.img code17:45
Bashing-omMark______: Boot the installer and pastebin ' sudo parted -l ' for EriC^^'s perusal . The partitioning will tell .17:45
CommonCentsI used the instructions here:   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManualFullSystemEncryption   There are two partitions on the disk now. The EFI system partition  and the encrypted LVM partition17:45
TJ-CommonCents: if you've encrypted GRUB too, then you just set "GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y" in /etc/default/grub17:46
Mark______thanks Bashing17:46
CommonCentsYeah,  I've done that.17:46
EriC^^Mark______: which pc model is it?17:46
gambl0recan i use my second laptop to extend my monitor screen?17:47
EriC^^gambl0re: no, there's not video-in on laptops17:47
EriC^^*no17:47
gambl0rewhat do you mean video-in?17:47
CommonCentsI'm going forward with booting live USB image, copying the four files (/etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/group, and /etc/gshadow)17:47
gambl0remy laptop has one17:47
CommonCentsand checking that the changed GID for "whoopsie" isn't used anywhere17:48
EriC^^gambl0re: i guess you could do something with ssh or something else, nevermind17:48
TJ-CommonCents: Crikey oh Riley! Talk about making a simple setup complicated!!!! That tutorial is horrendous!17:48
EriC^^gambl0re: it does? cool17:48
gambl0re?17:48
CommonCentsWell, I won't disagree.  I got through it and I have a working system, though.17:48
TJ-CommonCents: I've been running with encrypted GRUB and setting it up with about 15 CLI commands (actually a shell script!) for the last decade :)17:49
Mark______Eric: It's a Dell Inspiron 1417:49
CommonCentsAre those scripts really needed?  and the "/usr/local/sbin/refreshgrub" one?17:50
TJ-CommonCents: I think I need to publish my script if that's the kind of stuff being given to new users!17:50
EriC^^Mark______: are you booted into the live usb currently?17:51
TJ-CommonCents: as far as I've read that is /not/ a good way to go about it, there is no need for custom scripts17:51
CommonCentsI'd like to see what you have there, @TJ-17:51
CommonCentsNo, I'm booted on the "new" hard drive.17:51
TJ-CommonCents: GRUB, cryptsetup, LVM, initramfs-tools;  all the standard packages work nicely with FDE17:51
Mark______Eric: I will come do that again and get back here thanks17:51
EriC^^Mark______: ok17:51
TJ-CommonCents: I won't confuse you now since you've already done it, but gosh! You're had some unnecessary complexity to deal with there!17:52
CommonCentsYeah,  I'm not sure how you would deal with getting a functional key into initramfs without some of that stuff.17:53
CommonCentsIf it's not in there, you get prompted once for a passphrase, but when the thing tries to remount the file systems in the initramfs scripts, it needs a keyfile for that.17:53
gambl0reanyone know if i can connect my 2 laptop screens together?17:54
CommonCentsOne of my "learning experiences" was misspelling the filename, so it couldn't find the key.   It was failing to boot from that, in an annoying way, without any messages until I turned on debugging, turned of "quiet" and saw the errors for the missing/bad key17:55
CommonCentsAnyway, I'm going to give this a shot with what I have. I'll be back later.17:55
Exploithi17:57

lotuspsychjeMark______: do you singleboot ubuntu or dualboot with windows?18:35
Mark______lotuspsychje I think I single booted the reason I am putting Ubuntu on my computer is that my Windows won't boot either18:36
Mark______lotuspsychje so I thought I would just start from scratch18:36

madmangunok good.  I would do a simple sudo apt install nvidia-drivers-396 in terminal.  Nothing more.  Watch for any errors during the install20:03
cbpyeioria: that would sound like an Optimus chipset?  I think...20:03

TabMasherI'm using ubuntu and I've made a partition and formatted it as Btrfs.  Under ubuntu, how can I make that partition automatically compress files stored on it?  I know there is a mount option from reading the btrfs wiki, I just don't know how to implement it.  Does anyone know how I can do this?22:22
tomreynMark______: once the installation completes, you open a temrinal window and run grub-install against the hard disk you want to install it on. what the exact target needs to be depends on how you booted (uefi vs (legacy) bios) and how / where from plan to boot.22:23
tomreynMark______: did the installer ask you whether you would like grub installed on the disk itself / boot sector or to a partition? and if so, which one did you choose?22:25
tomreynalso, what exactly are you installing? (ubuntu release? system role (desktop, server)?)22:26
TabMasherI mean, how do I set Ubuntu to auto mount a btrfs file system with compression enabled?22:27
tomreynTabMasher: https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Compression#How_do_I_enable_compression.3F22:28
tomreynoptions (the arguments to the -o command line option) can be provided in /etc/fstab, in the 'options' columns, separated by comma22:29
Mark______thanks tomreyn and Flannel am working on it now22:30
TabMashertomreyn: Thank you for the link but I've seen that.  "Mount with -o compress or -o compress-force"  Let's say my Btrfs filesystem is my /home directory and I want it to mount automatically with the compression option on.  How do I do that?22:30
TabMasherIs there a config file I need to edit that mounts the drives on startup, or something?22:31
tomreynTabMasher: yes, that's /etc/fstab22:32
tomreyn!fstab | TabMasher22:32
ubottuTabMasher: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.pclosmag.com/html/Issues/200709/page07.html and !Partitions22:32
