[00:02] I have 2 screens and one is rotated, now when I have my dock on the bottom the dash application search doesn't open. The dock still works just the "search for applications" does not work [00:03] I see a post on askubuntu that mentions editing the /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf file, but I don't seem to have one [00:05] although using cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager shows /usr/sbin/lightdm [00:09] so actually 2 problems, help on either would be appreciated. Also after the rotation I can't seem to rotate my login screen [00:11] is it possible that I use lightdm for some things but not specifically the login screen? or will it handle all if it's the default display manager [00:13] How do I automatically update my ubuntu 18.04 vps? [00:22] if my bar is working fine on the bottom of my screen, but searches do not show any content, does that mean anything in particular? I've seen some things saying it could be auto-starts failing? [00:23] what is the recommended way of installing .deb files? gdebi or software center? [00:24] illuminated: dpkg [00:33] can't seem to figure that out, going to move on. One last question - with two displays, what's the easiest way to conditionally set the resolution for the monitor? Right now because the rotated one seems to set the resolution, and then the standard horizontal monitor background image is very low resolution (the rest of the gui is fine) === 3NAAAVDWT is now known as Tin_man [00:40] df -h [01:12] I installed gisomount and the desktop file is in /usr/share/applications but it does not show up in the gnome applications menu [01:13] how do I make the icon show up in the applications list [01:13] is there some means of refreshing the list or something? === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash === woost is now known as matto [01:31] Late reply but you can just relogin X.

[06:04] ok [06:05] guiverc yes, but i don't know it's name and don't know what to look for! let me search on github for it for a bit. thanks [06:05] https://github.com/CanonicalLtd/subiquity senaps [06:06] okay, thanks.... awesome [06:06] i'm typing in the command #mkdir /mnt/cdrom and i'm getting mkdir: '/cdrom': Read-only file system [06:06] linuxnoob: well, yeah, you can't make a directory on a cd like that [06:07] so how do i mount a dvd that has a file i need to install on it? [06:07] still not sure what you actually want to do [06:08] Some Linux distributions use different mount point names. For example, on some distributions the mount point is /media/VMware Tools rather than /mnt/cdrom.

[06:11] does linux have a "winver" command? [06:11] lol [06:12] you laugh but I'm dead serious [06:13] winver means "windows version" which i find funny [06:14] Ben64, i think it makes perfect sense to call it that [06:14] not in linux [06:14] of course not [06:14] linux has to be impossible to understand [06:14] god forbid someone create linver [06:16] a terminal command that lets you know what version you are using [06:16] linuxnoob, uname will tell you your kernel version, `lsb_release -a` will provide some info on system (linux standard base release info) ; but on prod'n system these tools are removed to avoid security-holes & keep system light; why keep bloat? - and the version info i believe you should know; it needs to be known for security reasons..

When I ran Ubuntu from USB, everything worked fine. Once I installed the latest, the touchpad on my ASUS laptop works for about 10 seconds after log-in. Then, it stops working.

[06:29] !info mysql-wsrep-5.6 xenial [06:29] Package mysql-wsrep-5.6 does not exist in xenial [06:29] punkgeek: that package is from a third-party repo [06:33] new2ubuntu: take a look in your syslog/dmesg for errors while you playing with touchpad, try to test this on another user? [06:34] hi. why does `update-alternatives --list rename` only show the perl renames and not the real rename? [06:39] lotuspsychje: I will try that and be back with errors I see. [06:40] What's the best way to back up my system config, should I just do put /etc in a regular backup / VCS repository or is that considered "bad"? [06:41] Or maybe I'n missing a lot of important things in that case? [06:43] Doow: most of your data & configs are stored in /home [06:44] Doow: depending how deep you want to backup of course? [06:44] !backup | Doow [06:44] Doow: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [06:45] lotuspsychje, good point, I'm backing up data already, this is just about config. But there are a lot of dot-files and directories in my home that I'd miss. [06:45] Doow: did you look in all the hidden folders in your /home? [06:46] Doow: is there a reason you plan this backup? moving to LTS or so? [06:46] lotuspsychje, depends on what you mean. I know they're there and I regularly modify parts of them, but I haven't looked in _all_ of them =) [06:47] theres no need to look, as long as you backup your full home [06:47] Doow: i keep an 'etc' directory in my homedir where i place copies of all the files i've changed under /etc, then simply back up my entire homedir [06:49] lotuspsychje, no specific reason other than I want to keep track of things in case something happens (failed harddrive, ransomware, fat fingers,...) [06:49] Doow: ok roger [06:53] ducasse, I think I'll add a symlink to /etc in my projects folder and then put that in a repository. That way I can keep the .git stuff out of the actual /etc. That way I get both versioning and backup (since I already backup my git repos). [06:54] Doow: remember that not everything under /etc is readable by a normal user [06:55] Yeah, I'll have to ignore some files, don't want my password hashes or certificates out there in the wild =) [06:56] hi, why did ubuntu change the real rename to non-standard rename.ul and not give the option to use it by its standard name? [06:56] Doow: in my opinion a good backup is an external media, organized into categorys. the moment you create a new config for a package you worked on long time= copy right away into your external category and avoid afterward pains [07:00] https://twitter.com/benhutchingsuk/status/1024186889245323264 [07:01] luna_: not here please, only ubuntu support [07:03] Speaking of which, is this the proper channel for ubuntu under wsl?

[07:13] ducasse: thanks, I hope it will be a smooth process, don't feel like reinstalling and configuring from scratch [07:21] i typed in the command and now it says sudo: not found [07:22] can someone please help me add a path of some sort? [07:24] hi, does anyone know where on disk i would find the superblock of the ext4 fs in a default ubuntu 16.04 installation on a standard PC? the partition table seemed to indicate that the start of the 1st partition (the one with the ext4 fs) would be at LBA 32768 (8000h) but a dd at that location just turned up a bunch of 0s, i'm not sure if i'm looking in the wrong place or what? [07:27] can someone anyone please explain how i can create a path for sudo to work? [07:27] every time i type su i lose my path [07:28] and when i type su with the path i get unknown id [07:28] wtf [07:28] why does linux suck so bad? [07:29] maybe you just suck at linux? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ [07:29] no, linux sucks [07:29] i'm pretty sure about that [07:30] you can't just execute a file [07:30] let's write a new operating system [07:30] no [07:30] yes [07:30] no [07:30] alright so back to linux then [07:31] stoopid, can you help me? [07:31] i know it's not smart to ask someone called stoopid [07:31] but you are my last hope [07:32] sudo and su are separate tools. First off, don't combine them. Use just sudo [07:33] and sudo's path can be configured via the sudoers file === HiddenDjinn is now known as Guest20098 [07:34] where is the sudoers file and how can i configure it to run a command at a different path? [07:35] geirha? [07:36] i'm close to running this file, i just need a few hints/pointers [07:36] man sudoers to read about its syntax, sudo visudo to edit it [07:36] see what secure_path is set to [07:37] how? [07:38] don't i need to be in the secure path to run sudo to determine what the fucking secure path is? [07:39] what are you even trying to do [07:39] give the sudoers manual a read first. It's dangerous to edit these files if you're not prepared for the consequences. You can easily be left with no root access if you get it wrong [07:39] run a command [07:39] so run it [07:39] i have to run it as sudo [07:39] what's the command [07:39] but my path is not secure [07:40] ./vmware-install.pl [07:40] and it needs to run some vmware commands you have installed in a non-standard location? [07:40] so what happens when you do 'sudo ./vmware-install.pl' [07:41] sudo: not found [07:41] Hi. Im using ubuntu 18.04 with i3.

Shall I assume UseDNS no doesn't work in Ubuntu 16.04? [07:44] linuxnoob: what does printf '%s\n' "$PATH" say, and why are you using sh instaed of bash? [07:44] what is sh and what is bash? [07:44] i have a # [07:45] shell? [07:45] is sh terminal shell? [07:45] fuck you guys and your acronyms [07:45] wow [07:45] yes [07:45] you can leave with that attitude [07:45] i know NOTHING [07:45] YOU ARE TALKING TO SOMEONE WHO CAN BARELY READ [07:45] maybe go to the library and learn that first [07:45] AND YOU DROP SH AND BASH LIKE IT IS EVEN IN MY VOCABULARY [07:46] no [07:46] you're coming in here being incredibly rude for no reason [07:46] so you're already root, then you don't need sudo, but you've gained root priviliges with a shell not meant for interactive use, and apparently without the usual environment, somehow [07:46] we don't work for you dude [07:46] how did you become root? [07:47] sorry ben [07:47] not even running ubuntu [07:47] its just I've been trying to run a simple .pl file for nearly over an hour now [07:48] If this is ubuntu, you've done something really weird to get to the point you're at now [07:49] We'd need to know what [07:49] printf '%s\n' "$PATH" shows /svin:/vendor/bin:/system/sbin:/system/bin:system/xbin [07:49] linuxnoob: which release is this?

[07:52] i thought it was [07:52] android is linux, yes, but it's not ubuntu. Completely different operating systems [07:52] so, android doesn't run on linux? [07:52] android is linux-based, but it's certainly not ubuntu [07:52] that only happen to use the same kernel [07:52] so, I'm in the wrong place?

[09:33] im tired [09:33] i need to go lay down [09:34] rory scrum out [09:37] how do know whether I have installed python 3 on ubuntu 16.04LTS [09:38] python3 -V [09:40] geirha: thanks [09:41] does pip work in ubuntu [09:41] easyOnMe, yep (pip) [09:42] or pip3 [09:45] Greeding community. Do you know how I can locate the modules loaded in a kernel from a device provided via lspci? [09:46] I want to tacle the issue where no wireless interface is shown in ifconfig for my w-fi card. [09:46] pc_magas: lspci -k [09:46] pc_magas: lspci -k will show you that [09:47] pc_magas: tried ifconfig -a (if iface just was down)? [09:49] llutz, yes I tried the lspci -a and the interface is not shown on ubuntu 16.04LTS. [09:52] hi, apt-get install -y apache2 in 18.04 manages to still go interactive - how can I avoid it? [09:52] pc_magas: I'd also check `dmesg` to see if your wireless card is listed/seen [09:52] The issue is that I have Ubuntu 16.04 with a broadcom wi-fi chipset with the proriatery driver installed and suddenly the wireless interface went missing from ifconfig -a. [09:53] TvL2386, how I can filter it out via a specific id from lspci [09:53] ? [09:54] pc_magas: I don't really know.... For my laptop I see the following in `dmesg`: [ 65.601435] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002) [09:54] pc_magas: and in lspci -k : 02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 8260 (rev 3a) [09:55] pc_magas: this is not my forte, so what do you mena with sepcific id? I'm inclined to say `dmesg | grep ....` or something, but I don't think that's what you're lookig for [09:56] TvL2386 pc_magas : filter by pci-id, your card e.g. 02:00.0 [09:56] I just did `dmesg | less` and searched for "wifi" :) [10:00] pc_magas: "lspci -nn -d::0280" should show only Wireless Network class devices [10:01] pc_magas: but it depends on if Broadcom followed the standards! [10:02] The driver is loaded and seems to be recognized by kernel as well: https://pastebin.com/W3md3Bdu [10:03] pc_magas: show us "pastebinit <( lspci -nn; ip link show; iwconfig )" [10:03] So the issue is why the network manager fails to assign an interface to the loaded broadcom interface. I wonder how network manager assigns interfaces to a specific card? [10:08] TJ- the results of the commands provided https://pastebin.com/xVPr2zc7 [10:09] pc_magas: did the PC do a suspend/resume sometime before the interface disappeared? [10:09] pc_magas: better show us the complete dmesg: "pastebinit <(dmesg)" [10:09] I removed the gpu but now when I boot the computer gets stuck in another loop: When I login, the screen gets black and soon after that the login screen comes back. [10:10] I tried the work around where you type Ctrl-Alt_F2 but you need to know your login name for that method and I don't (only the password) [10:11] TJ-, i guess because sometimes when it going to shut down it suspends and does not shut down [10:11] I know that there is a method to find your login name by booting into recovery mode but my keyboard and mouse don't work on the recovery mode GUI so I'm pretty stuck [10:12] pc_magas: there may be issues with the device being rediscovered on resume from suspend, due to ACPI problems, but the dmesg will tell us [10:12] It is still possible to login and repair the system or is reinstalling the only option? [10:12] Bazman: whats been shown at your prompt [10:12] Bazman: how can you not know your login name? is it set to autologin? [10:13] TJ- https://pastebin.com/rcEcAbWx [10:13] Here is the dmesg [10:14] Bazman, when you boot into recovery mode does you allow you to have access to a recovery console? [10:14] TJ: This is a new build the user name si some variation of my name but I've tried various permutations but can't seem to find the right one [10:15] pc_magas: TJ-: I'm also having a problem with my wifi. Sometimes it's missing. It happens very rarely and have never looked into it, but the following resolves it: `sudo rmmod iwlmvm iwlwifi ; sudo modprobe iwlwifi`. This is a workaround... Maybe something like this works for you as well pc_magas [10:15] pc_magas: have you been using an external USB wifi adapter ? [10:16]
