[00:00] Hmm. I don't remember going though any of that when I set my hostname. [00:00] Jens: this is new with 18.04 [00:00] That explains it. [00:00] This is 18.04.1 Server to be exact. [00:00] yuken: How are you on IRC if you can't use a browser to access websites? [00:00] Still waiting for "do-release-upgrade -c" to return something interesting. [00:01] I have absolutely no clue. IRC was already connected on my bouncer next to me, so it didn't... lose connection? Dunno. [00:01] Websites just started working again, they were inaccessible for the last 10~ mins. [00:01] yuken: https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-change-hostname-on-ubuntu-18-04-bionic-beaver-linux [00:01] Wasn't DNS, I know that. [00:02] leftyfb, yep, that worked - thanks. I cloned a VM on my ESXi setup and it kept the hostname, so that was annoying and the knowledge I had previously wasn't working. [00:02] Thanks. [00:03] What's the word on 16.04>18.04 upgrades? TFM says "a few days after" 18.04.1 release. [00:05] One more question. How should I enable a program to run on startup as a specific user (not root)? === the_ant1 is now known as the_ant [00:19] well, tomorrow I will try [00:29] df [00:37] how can i ramp up the volume in gnome over 100% as in the good old days? [00:38] is this possible still or another regression by gnome? [00:39] maybe someone would be able to answer if you'll specify the ubuntu version you're inquiring about. [00:40] 18.04 gnome 3.28.2 [00:42] de-facto, https://askubuntu.com/questions/51156/how-can-i-reach-over-100-volume-with-a-keyboard-shortcut === Tin__man is now known as Tin_man [00:43] is there a way to boot into single user mode with an encrypted hard drive? ubuntu 18.04. I'm trying to troubleshoot having no monitor signal after I unlock my hard drive [00:43] de-facto: looks like pavucontrol still enables you to do so. [00:44] or, if you think its just easier to reinstall, I can do that. Only got one steam game installed [00:45] suttin: you can boot into recovery mode [00:45] but how? I don't even see grub show up [00:45] hold down shift during boot [00:46] i hate everything [00:46] thank you [00:46] Tin_man, hmm tried that and restarted gnome shell without effect. I did run the cmd on sink 0 (hdmi) and sink 1 (analog) [00:46] oh look at that, grub [00:47] sorry for the dumb question, i skipped over step on of the help article I had up, which states hold shift [00:47] no worries ;) [00:48] when I ran the pactl set-sink-volume 0 150% --- it about blew my out of my chair, but I couldn't get the pactl set-sink-volume 0 100% to do anything.. not familiar with that command (either one) [00:48] pavucontrol indeed seems to can do that, so does that mean its another regression in gnome that its not possible with the normal audio controls anymore? [00:49] If it is it's one I won't really miss, cause I never messed with the volume beyond the 100% range. === gms is now known as Guest19825 [00:52] i really miss it because some youtube videos are so silent i can barely hear them with 100% volume (e.g. the stanford lectures) [00:54] yes, I can relate to that, usually I just give up on the video if that's the case. I'll test the command when i run across one [00:54] you could alternatively download and normalize the video if you care about it that much. [00:55] i mean in case that's so [00:56] usually not that important, just entertainment for me, take it or I can leave it.. [00:57] usually 100% will do, but when I do set it, I forget about it till the next video comes on, and blows my eardrums out. === bs_ is now known as bs [01:00] well i just liked the way i could easily control it with gnome controls, but oh well if its "cleaner" that way... i guess i have to live with pavucontrol, at least its still possible === NickG365_ is now known as NickG365 [01:01] i can see where it would come in handy. === r0Oter is now known as r00ter [01:05] I was checking my laptop which is Kubuntu, and it still had the settings in volume control to raise it above 100%. [01:06] 18.04 [01:13] de-facto, I looked in settings on Gnome Ubuntu 18.04, and it has the sound setting above 100% ("Over-Amplification") which is a toggle, just don't show the percentage above 100% === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash [01:16] Tin_man, where exactly did you find that one? [01:17] in settings (Sound) [01:17] i dont have such a Over-Amplification toggle there [01:17] sorry Tweaks [01:18] sorry again under settings [01:19] go to the wrench & screwdriver icon, and you'll find it. [01:19] yes thats the first place where i looked for it [01:19] settigs > sound > output [01:20] maybe im blind but i dont see such a setting there [01:20] it in mine [01:20] it's* [01:21] i have a slider at the top and on/off switch (mute), then a lisit of outputs, balance slider and profile, and test speaker [01:21] no over amp in there [01:22] thats weird, its a default install with gnome-session and gtk3.css as default [01:23] https://imgur.com/a/M7b8ZR0 [01:23] Icannot start scallion on ubuntu 18.04 [01:27] Tin_man, exactly as mine except there is a border around the upper volume slider with that over amp, which is just not there on my ubuntu 18.04 [01:27] did you install something extra for that? [01:28] maybe you have to install gnome tweaks to get the extra settings.. [01:28] but I've always installed tweaks.. [01:28] i have that too [01:28] hmmm, don't know [01:29] Install GNOME Tweaks for advance settings [01:29] i did, it means gnome is incomplete for me without it [01:30] With our IRC ad service you can reach a global audience of entrepreneurs and fentanyl addicts with extraordinary engagement rates! https://williampitcock.com/ [01:30] I thought you guys might be interested in this blog by freenode staff member Bryan 'kloeri' Ostergaard https://bryanostergaard.com/ [01:30] Read what IRC investigative journalists have uncovered on the freenode pedophilia scandal https://encyclopediadramatica.rs/Freenodegate [01:30] With our IRC ad service you can reach a global audience of entrepreneurs and fentanyl addicts with extraordinary engagement rates! https://williampitcock.com/ [01:30] I thought you guys might be interested in this blog by freenode staff member Bryan 'kloeri' Ostergaard https://bryanostergaard.com/ [01:30] Read what IRC investigative journalists have uncovered on the freenode pedophilia scandal https://encyclopediadramatica.rs/Freenodegate [01:30] With our IRC ad service you can reach a global audience of entrepreneurs and fentanyl addicts with extraordinary engagement rates! https://williampitcock.com/ [01:30] I thought you guys might be interested in this blog by freenode staff member Bryan 'kloeri' Ostergaard https://bryanostergaard.com/ [01:30] Read what IRC investigative journalists have uncovered on the freenode pedophilia scandal https://encyclopediadramatica.rs/Freenodegate [01:30] don't understand why you would'nt have it.

[02:34] install interface i meant not that it matters debian is easy enough [02:36] I tried out lmde a few years back but wasn't a fan of the desktop - might have improved since though.

[03:42] For VirtualBox guest additions, is it preferably to use the ubuntu packages for those, or to use the script from the ISO that the VirtualBox host comes with? (Esp. in regards to updates.)

[07:05] there doesn't need to be a new release for them, as they only affect upgrades [07:06] surely devs know better than to re-release the same version with different software [07:07] the fixes will only end up in the repos, no new release yet [07:08] since the bugs don't affect new installs it's not necessary to get them on a new iso [07:09] Chetic, one of the bugs on ubuntu 18.04 that seem to affect a fair amount of people including me is a kernel panic on reboot [07:09] Chetic, but this is a kernel issue that doesn't seem to happen on linux 4.14 [07:10] Chetic, so just update to 18.04 and use linux 4.14 if anything goes wrong [07:10] good tip thanks [07:19] this is what I get when i run df -h: is there a way I can share some of this disk space across the volumes? https://bpaste.net/show/052850f97e8a [07:22] jayjo: you can add a new virtual disk, create a filesystem on it and mount it where you need space [07:22] just move the old data across [08:11] <^v> With our IRC ad service you can reach a global audience of entrepreneurs and fentanyl addicts with extraordinary engagement rates! https://williampitcock.com/ [08:11] With our IRC ad service you can reach a global audience of entrepreneurs and fentanyl addicts with extraordinary engagement rates! https://williampitcock.com/ === jimm is now known as jim [08:29] it would be super useful if something like kde-connect existed for gnome [08:31] https://github.com/andyholmes/gnome-shell-extension-gsconnect [08:31] nevermind found it [08:39] I upgraded to 18.04 and my tool bar (File, Edit, etc.) is missing from several programs (most notably Firefox).

[08:58] Hi! Ubuntu is safest OS? [08:59] Deknos: HAve you tried installing 18.04? [09:00] i tried the ubuntu 18.04.1 iso. i can try it with 18.04 iso [09:00] Deknos: So what went wrong? [09:01] it cannot stop after installation, and when i restart the machine it stops at booting [09:01] Burn it or use yumi-usb-boot [09:02] huh? i downloaded the iso and installed it in a virtualbox guest [09:03] Denkos: take the RAM up to 1G [09:04] jsjolen: try another account so you can see if its a user config issue or systemwide [09:05] xVbun7u, i have 2G.. [09:05] is that not enough? [09:05] EriC^^: Yeah, I'll try creating a new account [09:05] Good idea, thank you [09:07] deknos, the VM must have not your PC [09:07] :} [09:07] ? [09:08] Greetings [09:10] Deknos, try set more ram for VM in options [09:14] Deknos, you have a total of 2gb for the machine, and are already alloting 1gb for the vm? [09:15] no, my phys machine has 32gb and my virtual has 2gb. i now gave the vm 4gb, lets see if that is better [09:15] whats in the vm Deknos [09:16] so I have a 192GB partition for Ubuntu 16. I'd like to shrink it so I could test out Ubuntu 18. Whats the best manner of shrinking? [09:16] eraserpencil_, either a live cd or a gparted live [09:17] eraserpencil_, in both instances you cannot modify a running system and need to use the live mode [09:19] so If I have live cd, I can safely shrink the partition? [09:19] eraserpencil_, either a ubuntu live or the latter, yes [09:19] kk [09:19] thanks [09:20] welcome === mollusk is now known as Guest75573 [09:21] bazhang, it is normal configuration with 16g harddisk and 4g ram [09:21] what os Deknos [09:21] host os: windows 10, guest os: ubuntu 18.04.1 iso [09:22] Deknos, so you are asking about a windows vm [09:23] whats the vm Deknos ? vbox or other [09:24] virtualbox [09:25] Deknos, you should ask in the windows channel about using vm with windows host, also #vbox === _ruben_ is now known as _ruben [09:30] تست [09:35] With our IRC ad service you can reach a global audience of entrepreneurs and fentanyl addicts with extraordinary engagement rates! https://williampitcock.com/ [09:56] Hi folks === saeid is now known as Guest6293 [09:59] Hi.

While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or https://ubuntuforums.org or https://askubuntu.com/ [10:01] patience: OK [10:05] Hello World [10:06] Installing Ubuntu on my old Mac Pro as it won’t let me upgrade anymore. What a joke [10:07] Perfectly good hardware [10:08] luckily, such restrictions aren't possible with a (mostly) open source Linux distribution. [10:08] apple wants you to buy a new one, MGD [10:09] BluesKaj: not a chance [10:09] The cost is so high compared to when I bought mine [10:10] we use this channel for support Q&A only, but you're welcome to discuss this in #ubuntu-offtopic (i'm already there and might join) [10:10] lots of people I know owned macs...once [10:11] tomreyn: ok, I’ll head there. Thanks [10:19] On another 18.04 PC after updates and reboot the default (sudo,adm,etc.) user gets ENOACCESS (permission denied) for accessing group=adm files. Then using "groups" I noticed the terminal shell process is not a member of any groups but $USER. Has anyone else seen this? [10:21] Hi, I'd like to recommend a feature to the Ubuntu installer maintainers. Using dd to create the swapfile during the install process is very slow and sloppy, utilising fallocate would be much quicker, and convenient! [10:22] Thank you. [10:23] stevendale: you should do that in a bug report, which'll be set as "Wishlist" [10:23] stevendale: this is a support channel, it's extremely unlikely that anyone working on that will see your message, unfortunately [10:23] It's not much of a difference on super-fast SSDs, but on conventional HDDs, which are still widely used in almost all low to mid range PCs and laptops, dd is significantly slower, and can take several minutes on 5400 RPM drives [10:23] Where can I make one of those, TJ-? [10:24] TJ-: "pastebinit <( groups;lsb_release -ds;cat /var/log/installer/media-info;echo; )" returns this for my VM: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/YcqkNtpZH8/ [10:24] !bug | stevendale [10:24] stevendale: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please report it using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. [10:25] tomreyn: yeah, that's what I was expecting! It's hit my primary 6-monitor laptop in the study, which is very carefully managed as you probably know. [10:26] tomreyn: I'm outside on the asus t300chi right now, and just prevented it from doing any upgrades until I know what the cause is [10:26] How to build linux distro using docker? [10:27] tomreyn: I found it because the wifi network wasn't coming up (nmapplet showing spinner constantly) and I tried "tail -f /var/log/syslog" and got Permission Denied. /var, /var/log have o+x, /var/log/syslog is syslog:adm u=rw,g=r [10:28] tomreyn: but "groups $USER" reports the correct set, so *something* is not assigning group membership to (some) processes launched by my user [10:28] stevendale, better still, why not prepartition your drive before installing including a swap, then just use manual partitioning, install to /and set the mountpoint for /home, if you created one. [10:29] saeid_sr7: that's really not an Ubuntu support issue - ask the Docker experts [10:31] TJ-: oh okay, that's weird. sounds like it could be apparmor issues? did you install 18.04.0 or .1, or an early test build / alüha of .0 or .1? [10:31] *alpha [10:31] tomreyn: here's another one for you! Got a 2nd monitor on this t300chi outisde. Every time I put my sunglasses on the screen goes blank! [10:32] tomreyn: confused the heck out of me... then realised the monitor screen is horizontally polarised and my shades vertically polarised. Turn my head so ear is on shoulder and I can see! I've had to rotate the external monitor into Portrait orientation to see it! [10:33] TJ-: wow, that's exciting indeed, i had never thought this could happen. [10:33] tomreyn: That's been 18.04 since the beta. I don't think it's apparmor since the shell process doesn't have the same groups as the $USER that launched it. [10:34] TJ-: so those are different users also? [10:34] tomreyn: imagine diagnosing the blank monitor issue in a support call :D [10:34] hehe [10:35] tomreyn: no, the user is the same. Login as normal, open the terminal, which starts a shell. Type "groups" and it only reports "tj" - no list of the additional groups which "groups tj" reports correctly [10:35] hmm weird [10:36] tomreyn: yeah, I initially thought "PAM" but that's only at log-in, not process launch, where I think the kernel is responsible for copying those [10:36] tomreyn: and as there was a kernel upgrade to 4.15.0-29 .... I'm suspecting that. I'll try an older kernel boot later today when I've time [10:37] but it's gnome-terminal 3.28.2-1ubuntu1~18.04.1, right? and not wayland? [10:37] tomreyn: I thought I was being clever bringing the monitor (Dell U2412M) outside because it has a clearly marked 12V DC power socket. Attached it to a car battery that is solar-panel charged but it didn't work... did some searching found out the 12V DC is an *output* for powering things like active speakers, doh! [10:38] So, all in all, not a great start to the day :) [10:40] 4.15.0-29-generic #31-Ubuntu , built Tue Jul 17 15:39:52 UTC 2018, is what i'm running on this VM. [10:41] How do I require a password for mounting additinal HDDs? [10:41] hehe, i'm not sure 12V would suffice for a large screen [10:41] tomreyn: it's IPS no backlight so should be able to cope [10:42] mipesom: by removing your user off the 'disk' group, i *think* [10:42] TJ-: well, glad you noticed then [10:43] tomreyn: it's sometimes good to feel dumb :) [10:44] tomreyn: That would only affect me. [10:46] mipesom: so by removing all relevant users off the 'disk' group. ;) [10:47] tomreyn: No, but I got the answer in Mint chat. Drives need an entry in /etc/fstab for that. Thx, nevertheless. [10:49] mipesom: adding file systems to /etc/fstab prevents users from mounting them without a password? that's actually news to me, too. [10:51] hello, in the 18.04 server iso installation there is not the option to create the software raid during the partitioning of the disk, is it right or am I wrong? [10:53] Is there anyone can help with pointing to solution that will run a command once between two(2) tines, The key requirement is that if the machine is down at the on time, and on later but still within the window it will run it only once [10:53] eugenio: use the alternative server installer instead, available by clicking on the link on top of the page where you downloaded yours from [10:53] cron, only works if the machine is up at the appropiate time [10:54] eugenio: btw. there is also #ubuntu-server [10:54] Stormpie: cron.daily/weekly etc does stuff like that.. records last run time in /var/spool/cron/lastrun, then checks periodically (incl. on boot) if it's time to run it again [10:55] mipesom: altering existing users would need this (modified to replace "echo" with "sudo" when you're confident in it: for U in user1 user2 user3 user4; do echo usermod --groups "$(groups $U | sed -e 's/^.*: $.*$disk $.*$/\1\2/' -e 's/ /,/g')" $U; done [10:56] Stormpie: you can achieve this with either cron @reboot and a lock file or using atd [10:57] tomreyn: That's one of the possible flags. See Disks application under mount options. [10:57] tomreyn, I tested the ubuntu server-live installation but it has not the choice for raid partition [10:59] tomreyn, I have already written in that channel, with only one answer: to check the installation 18.04.1 LTS, which I have already tested with the same problem [10:59] eugenio: that's not surprising since it's based on ubiquity, the desktop installer [10:59]
