| Mibix | but i assume thats fine since its just cache | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Mibix | think that its fine though? | 00:00 |
| tomreyn | IntelCore: not really. you said something about "Indicator-Applet-Complete" not working. you also said something about "bionic", which could mean some version of ubuntu 18.04 lts. it is still unclear which software seems to misbehave or how you installed it, how you installed ubuntu, when the issue first happened, what you might have changed to introduce the issue,etc. etc. | 00:01 |
| IntelCore | tomreyn - 16.04.5 upgraded to 18.04.1 and the applet is incorrectly showing the wrong panel for "system-Settings" | 00:02 |
| gott | tomreyn: It did. I'm using cpufreq-aperf to see. None of the cores are resting and they seem to boost wehan i'm playing TORCS at Hi-Res :) Thanks! | 00:03 |
| tomreyn | rusty_: it does not seem to be part of the upstream (git-scm.org) source code releases. | 00:04 |
| nacc | tomreyn: https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/contrib/completion/git-prompt.sh ; not sure what it gives you, though | 00:05 |
| tomreyn | IntelCore: this upgrade path is not yet supported. | 00:06 |
| tomreyn | thanks nacc. looks like i missed it, it's in the upstream tarballs in /git-2.9.5/contrib/completion/ | 00:07 |
| tomreyn | rusty_: there's the bash.completion package, maybe similar functionality is in there. | 00:08 |
| tomreyn | bash-completion | 00:08 |
| tomreyn | IntelCore: maybe show a screen shot, too. | 00:08 |
| IntelCore | yo tomreyn - still not listed here: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-applet/+question/140344 | 00:09 |
| tomreyn | gott: you're welcome. if this is a zen cpu architecture, you may want to use a newer kernel (4.17+) to get better frquency indicators. | 00:09 |
| Mibix | ehh what is this format this default backup app backups in? | 00:10 |
| IntelCore | yes I can shoot it | 00:10 |
| Mibix | duplicity-full.20180802T185348Z.vol1.difftar.gz | 00:10 |
| Mibix | how do i get the files if my OS fails? | 00:10 |
| tomreyn | IntelCore: what is not listed there? | 00:10 |
| IntelCore | this problem tom | 00:10 |
| IntelCore | Lemme post pics brb | 00:11 |
| tomreyn | Mibix: you use duplicity. | 00:12 |
| Mibix | tomreyn i believe im using deja dup? | 00:12 |
| tomreyn | Mibix: this is a gzip compressed tar archive containing an incremental backup | 00:12 |
| Mibix | yeah i guess you have to use deja dup to retrieve the files? | 00:13 |
| tomreyn | Mibix: deja-dup is a graphical frontend to duplicity | 00:14 |
| Mibix | ahh | 00:15 |
| Mibix | im testing a restore | 00:15 |
| Mibix | see how it works | 00:15 |
| gott | It's not Ryzen so I think I'll be fine with kernel 4.15 for now :) | 00:19 |
| Mibix | jeez this is taking forever just to prepare the restore :p | 00:20 |
| gott | I'm just very happy that it works Tom (y) | 00:20 |
| tomreyn | gott: then i'm happy, too ;) | 00:22 |
| tomreyn | Mibix: if you're looking for other backup software: restic, boxbackup are also fine. but i dont know whether there are GUIs for those. | 00:23 |
| ellyacht | im somewhat new to the linux scene but can someone point me in the right direction of which ubuntu to get and how to get it | 00:28 |
| kk4ewt | ellyacht, well which one to get is really up to you but 18.04 seems be fine | 00:32 |
| kk4ewt | ubuntu.com | 00:33 |
| tomreyn | ellyacht: here's some guidance on the flavors - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuFlavors | 00:33 |
| tomreyn | ... | 00:33 |
| IntelCore | tomreyn ? | 00:34 |
| tomreyn | IntelCore ! | 00:34 |
| IntelCore | this the applet info page https://i.imgur.com/r4Z7Z2D.png | 00:35 |
| IntelCore | https://i.imgur.com/QIjB53E.png | 00:35 |
| IntelCore | that the Settings panel | 00:35 |
| tomreyn | IntelCore: this doesn't look like ubuntu 18.04 to me. is it xubuntu maybe? | 00:36 |
| IntelCore | no 18.04.1 w. compiz | 00:36 |
| IntelCore | what? Flashback-Compiz | 00:37 |
| tomreyn | IntelCore: so unity? this is not supported on 18.04 here. | 00:38 |
| IntelCore | tomreyn - the small tv top right is a pull-down menu.. can log-off. souns, other things | 00:38 |
| IntelCore | no no unity | 00:39 |
| IntelCore | Gnome de flashback-compiz envoronment | 00:39 |
| IntelCore | that doesnt m not pointing to system settings. atter. the Applet itself is | 00:40 |
| IntelCore | er, the DE doesnt make it not point to right place | 00:40 |
| IntelCore | The Applet goes to get the 'about' panel, instead of 'settings' | 00:41 |
| IntelCore | tomreyn - you know settings is a panel in bionic. | 00:42 |
| tomreyn | IntelCore: sorry, i dont think i know enough about compiz to help there. i see compiz is still available in 18.04 so i guess it's still supported, but i dont know wnough about it. i suggest you use apport to report a bug if there is one. | 00:42 |
| IntelCore | OK, how to do that? appaport? | 00:43 |
| tomreyn | rather 'ubuntu-bug compiz' than apport | 00:43 |
| IntelCore | cas it def wrong panels | 00:43 |
| kk4ewt | you sure that panel is for gnome 3? | 00:44 |
| IntelCore | 2010 applet | 00:44 |
| kk4ewt | rather that applett | 00:44 |
| kk4ewt | so most likely not | 00:44 |
| kk4ewt | use the tweak-tool and look at gnome-shell-extension | 00:44 |
| IntelCore | kk4ewt - the bionic have system settincs where you find 'devices' | 00:44 |
| IntelCore | the xenial had a page of icons | 00:45 |
| kk4ewt | 18.04 is using gnome3 now not untiy | 00:45 |
| IntelCore | no that is fine. the applet got nothing to do wid the de | 00:46 |
| IntelCore | in other words, the applet is ontop of any de used | 00:46 |
| IntelCore | the stuff under it is an info panel | 00:47 |
| JoshuaD | I'm trying to mount a second hard drive on boot by editing fstab. The drive is formatted in NTFS. I had used the follwoing fstab entry successfully on a previous install, but now it causes my system to hang on boot. Any idea what's wrong w/ it? UUID=<accurate UUID> /d ntfs-3g uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,nls=utf8 | 00:47 |
| tomreyn | JoshuaD: i think it should be just 'ntfs' for the type | 00:48 |
| tomreyn | what IS your system? | 00:48 |
| JoshuaD | Ubuntu 18.04 | 00:49 |
| tomreyn | does /d exist by the time it tries to moun tit? | 00:49 |
| IntelCore | kk4ewt - yea, i go, this applet might be in the gnome extensions. but.. It's not | 00:49 |
| JoshuaD | i created an empty directory in /, so I believe so. / is mounted before /d in fstab | 00:49 |
| tomreyn | JoshuaD: ok i guess this should wotrk then. try mounting it once you've booted fully, first as it is, then with 'ntfs' instead of 'ntfs-3g', see which one works | 00:50 |
| IntelCore | i like the applet, since the squirell distro.. two years.. no problems. | 00:51 |
| JoshuaD | @tomreyn: that makes sense, let me try it now. Thanks | 00:51 |
| IntelCore | is -3g for gpt drives? | 00:52 |
| JoshuaD | ah. i think i found my mistake. It looks like i forgot the -3g in fstab | 00:54 |
| JoshuaD | `sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -o nls-utf8,umask=0222 /dev/sdb2 /d` works | 00:54 |
| JoshuaD | gonna add the -3g and see if it was just my typo, brb | 00:54 |
| sonicwind | either ntfs or ntfs-3g should work | 00:54 |
| tomreyn | JoshuaD: so what you posted above is not actually what you have in fstab? | 00:55 |
| JoshuaD | Yea, i had it saved to a text document for a flatten/reinstall, and I must have messed up the transcription to fstab somehow. | 00:55 |
| IntelCore | uses the FUSE file system interface, so it can run unmodified on many different operating systems. | 00:56 |
| IntelCore | so if you did not have vsfuse file system that might cause the hang | 00:56 |
| tomreyn | JoshuaD: i see. well, in 18.04.1 mount(8)'s NTFS section does not discuss 'fmask' either (nor does the global / general section). there is 'umask', though. | 00:57 |
| tomreyn | (fmask exists for vfat) | 00:58 |
| tomreyn | <tomreyn> JoshuaD: i see. well, in 18.04.1 mount(8)'s NTFS section does not discuss 'fmask' either (nor does the global / general section). there is 'umask', though. | 00:58 |
| JoshuaD | Yup. That was the mistake. Thanks for the help guys <3 | 00:58 |
| tomreyn | (fmask exists for vfat) | 00:58 |
| JoshuaD | hmm | 00:59 |
| gott | Rhythmbox is extremely slow, why is this? | 00:59 |
| IntelCore | I went, tomreyn.. into developer mode on 16.04, and suddenly had mount trouble. As soon as I found the setting that got me out of systemd operating, the mount problem cleared up | 00:59 |
| IntelCore | (got out of advanced mode) | 01:00 |
| JoshuaD | @tomreyn: people here are saying ntfs uses all three: https://askubuntu.com/questions/113733/how-do-i-correctly-mount-a-ntfs-partition-in-etc-fstab | 01:00 |
| JoshuaD | "Permissions for ntfs and vfat file systems must be set with the dmask, fmask and umask options. dmask controls permissions for directories, fmask controls permissions for files, and umask controls both" | 01:00 |
| Mibix | tomreyn you cant just restore a few files in the gui it looks like | 01:01 |
| Mibix | you have to restore all or nothing? | 01:01 |
| tomreyn | JoshuaD: there's alöways a chance the man page got out of date. i was juts looking at --help, too, but its not very telling | 01:01 |
| IntelCore | i would use -3g if you had it before. hard to say | 01:02 |
| JoshuaD | Yea, that was the mistake I made. It wanted -3g and I had forgotten it. | 01:03 |
| tomreyn | Mibix: https://askubuntu.com/questions/181272/is-it-possible-to-restore-only-one-directory-with-the-backup-utility | 01:04 |
| hanasaki1 | Unable to init server: Broadway display type not supported <= what is this display? | 01:05 |
| tomreyn | JoshuaD: the infodoc is identical to mount(8) for all i can tell, so... i guess as long as 'mount' does not complain, it'll be fine. | 01:06 |
| Mibix | tomreyn i dont see that option but im using nemo not nautilus :/ | 01:06 |
| IntelCore | display.. the monitor? or, the DE of the system using xorg, gnome, lightdm? | 01:06 |
| IntelCore | it's not starting a display.. in any case | 01:07 |
| Mibix | ahh i do see it in nautilus though | 01:08 |
| Mibix | interesting | 01:08 |
| tomreyn | Mibix: hmm right, you'd need to use nautilus for this GUI integration to work, i guess | 01:08 |
| IntelCore | hanasaki1 ? like this? " Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: " | 01:09 |
| JoshuaD | @tomreyn, thnx for the help, appreciate it | 01:10 |
| tomreyn | welcome, Josh | 01:10 |
| IntelCore | hanasaki1 - Maybe try passing the -vv option to ssh when you connect, this prints verbose debug messages, you should see several comments about X11 forwarding while connecting | 01:11 |
| IntelCore | If X11Forwarding is not specified, the default is no on the Debian machines | 01:12 |
| Mibix | so tomreyn if i lose my whole linux drive and i have all this backed up externally with deja vu I can restore it one i reinstall ubuntu on a new drive? | 01:13 |

| === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash | ||
| tomreyn | Mibix: It's "Déja Dup", to be precise. As long as you'll install a version of déja dup and duplicity (and their dependencies, i guess, but ignore this for now) which are the same or a newer version, i'd expect restoring your data to work on any linux distro. | 01:16 |
| tomreyn | Mibix: (there could be (much) newer duplicity + déja dup releases which drop support for old features, though) | 01:17 |
| hanasaki1 | similar.. if my local display that works is "DISPLAY=:1" what shold i set on the remot machine? | 01:17 |
| tomreyn | Mibix: you'll best consult their documentation sot know for sure. but i'd expect the same and newer ubuntu releases to support restoring your old backups, unless ubuntu release notes would say different. | 01:18 |
| hanasaki1 | export DISPLAY=localhost:1 and xhost + fails.. this succeeds export DISPLAY=:1 | 01:21 |

| leftyfb | IntelCore: lets do without the inner monologue | 01:30 |
| guest101 | Hello im going to install ubuntu on my hp laptop its preinstalled with bloatware on windows 10 but has a hidden windows 10 key if i reinstall will this remove the key from the laptop | 01:30 |
| IntelCore | oo. soz. Ted Gould? | 01:30 |
| leftyfb | IntelCore: please stop. As you've been told multiple times. This is a support channel. Please keep on topic or go to #ubuntu-offtopic | 01:31 |
| leftyfb | guest101: They "key" is just Microsoft registering your pc as having been installed with Windows 10. You should be fine. Or go ask in #microsoft for more details | 01:32 |
| guest101 | its my understanding they either put in a the bios or a hidden partition on the hard drive but im not sure | 01:33 |
| pragmaticenigma | Also, newer machines have the Windows install key stored in a special area within the BIOS. There are ways to retrieve the key in case you need to refer to it later. | 01:34 |
| leftyfb | guest101: again, they don't put anything anywhere on your pc. Also again, your question has to do with Windows and not Ubuntu. Go to Microsoft for more details about Windows 10 registrations | 01:34 |
| pragmaticenigma | leftyfb: machines preinstalled with Windows 7 (after late 2012), Windows 8 and 8.1, Windows 10 have their product key stored in BIOS. Common instructions to retrive the key usually point to using a Linux based live CD like ubuntu | 01:37 |
| pragmaticenigma | "sudo cat /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/MSDM" will return a key if it is there | 01:37 |
| leftyfb | pragmaticenigma: First, I'm pretty sure what you're referring to is only a thing in Windows 10. Not 7 and I don't think 8. Second, he was asking if he installs Ubuntu will his "key" still be there. The answer is yes, if it was there to begin with. | 01:38 |
| pragmaticenigma | leftyfb: I know it's a windows 7 thing, as the machine I'm using right now was a windows 7 machine prior to wiping and installing Ubuntu | 01:39 |
| pragmaticenigma | I agree part of their questioning was ot... but felt the "they don't put anything on your pc" wasn't entirely true | 01:40 |
| leftyfb | pragmaticenigma: if it's an OEM, then the OEM cd will install without a problem. But I'm pretty sure that doesn't mean there's any sort of key stored in the BIOS. Not sure pre-Windows 10. I could be wrong, but I don't think so | 01:40 |
| leftyfb | they don't put anything on your pc. If anything, it's put there by the OEM during BIOS/firmware flashing. Not by Microsoft. | 01:40 |
| pragmaticenigma | leftyfb: You are right it is an OEM feature, Windows merely seeks out the key during install | 01:41 |
| leftyfb | I think the thing they were referring to was Windows 10 specific. If you had a PC with a retail license of Windows 7 (no key stored in acpi) and then upgraded to or fresh installed Windows 10, that pc is now registered and you will be able to always installed Windows 10 without a license key. Windows did not put a key anywhere, but they "registered" your pc. You'll need to activate while online or call Microsoft. | 01:42 |
| will | boa noite | 01:43 |
| pragmaticenigma | leftyfb: I'm telling you, I have a OEM machine that came with Windows 7, it did not come with a product key sticker. The Product Key is retreivable from that command I just listed | 01:43 |
| leftyfb | will: can we help you with something? | 01:44 |
| leftyfb | pragmaticenigma: you can get the key right now from it? | 01:44 |
| pragmaticenigma | yes | 01:44 |
| leftyfb | didn't know OEM's worked that way | 01:45 |
| pragmaticenigma | https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/windows-secure-boot-key-creation-and-management-guidance | 01:45 |
| leftyfb | Interesting thing, I always just reinstalled with an OEM cd and never had a problem | 01:45 |
| pragmaticenigma | that link is the documentation for it :-) | 01:45 |
| pragmaticenigma | OEM isn't a requirement.. .I think the only requirement is the machine must be UEFI capable | 01:46 |
| leftyfb | OEM is a requirement for pre-windows 10 | 01:46 |
| leftyfb | non-OEM's will not store anything anywhere but online | 01:46 |
| leftyfb | anyway, off to bed. Rough day. Had a systemic reaction after getting my allergy shots. Boy that isn't pretty. | 01:47 |
| pragmaticenigma | take care leftyfb ... i'm not far behind | 01:50 |

| olis | TJ-: well from their message I thought the problem was with the Xubuntu setup using synaptic, not with the libinput based setup. But I might have misunderstood that. | 08:39 |
| TJ- | Xorg uses libinput on Xubuntu too, but the XFCE control panel has no options to control the DisableWhileTyping function unfortunately | 08:44 |
| TJ- | If it is using synaptic then I suspect the user selected that. On all of my Xubuntu's it uses libinput | 08:44 |

| Jens | Is there a tracking bug for 16.04=>18.04 upgrades? Best I could find was searching for tag:xenial2bionic. | 10:19 |
| Jens | Also: In case I want to try my luck, can I force do-release-upgrade to install 18.04 at gunpoint? | 10:21 |
| alex27 | hello guys, help me please troubleshoot the issue: I can't login to the system via normal graphical mode, only via tty or rescue mode. I've go my system hang and after reboot here I am. It was ubuntu 17.10, I've done dist-upgrade, now It's ubuntu 18 but still I'm not able to login. please advice | 10:30 |
| guiverc | alex27, i can't help if its graphics related; but first I'd check you have some free disk space in $HOME (your user directory), ie. `df -h` (disk free -human output (cause I prefer it)) ; if there is no free space for temporary work files, you get logged out (ie. login loop) | 10:32 |
| alex27 | guiverc, thanks, yeah, I have plenty of free space. | 10:32 |
| guiverc | Jens yes you can (look up -d option); but you'll get offered it very soon... | 10:33 |
| guiverc | alex27, if your user directory? space in / won't help; temporary files are created in user home directory... (just checking) | 10:34 |
| alex27 | I thought that it's bug in systemd-login package with version 234 | 10:36 |
| alex27 | but update didn't help | 10:36 |
| eugenio_ | how can I check in which disck grub is installed? consider I have a raid1 configured via sw | 10:36 |
| guiverc | eugenio_, grub stage 1 is MBR of boot drive (defined by your bios/eufi), grub stages 1.5 & 2 are stored in /boot - both of which you control (/boot during install, mbr via bios) - otherwise I miss your questions purpose | 10:38 |
| alex27 | guiverc I don't get even password box to enter password. only purple screen | 10:39 |
| guiverc | okay alex27, yuk (I'm useless at graphics..), I'd switch to tty & login there, then scan `dmesg`, `journalctl -a` for clues... but I'm not good at guiding at that sorry... if you have specific questions I may be better, but I just scan until i see the issue... | 10:42 |
| alex27 | I've spend whole day yesterday but I'm not good at spotting graphics issues (Don't know Xserver internals nor Wayland architecture) | 10:43 |
| alex27 | but still thanks for help | 10:44 |
| alex27 | will wait for a while | 10:44 |
| guiverc | :) - sorry I couldn't help more... | 10:44 |
| alex27 | maybe you know what's the difference between safe mode and normal one in terms of graphics? | 10:45 |
| alex27 | I need any point to start digging from | 10:45 |
| guiverc | alex27, sorry - I'd have to search online to find an answer ... | 10:47 |

| aloo_shu | alex27: could try to start graphical session from the safe mode, just to see the errors | 10:49 |
| alex27 | > to see the errors <-- where can I look for them? | 10:49 |
| aloo_shu | but if you've spent a day on it, you've probably tried | 10:49 |
| alex27 | there are tons of info (busctl monitor gives ~2mb text file) | 10:50 |
| alex27 | I easily could miss something | 10:50 |
| aloo_shu | some of them with dmesg , then /var/log - but my idea was to see the output when you manually start a graphical session, best by calling the screenmanager aka login manager, alex27 | 10:52 |
| alex27 | oh, I see. I know that couple years ago it was enought to run xstart, but what about now? | 10:53 |
| aloo_shu | or, when you get your pink screen hang, you can try ctrl+alt+F1 and see if that still works | 10:54 |
| BluesKaj | or F2 | 10:54 |
| BluesKaj | F1 probly won't | 10:54 |
| alex27 | right now my X server seems to be on F2, and that's strange for me. I've been expecting to see it on ctrl+alt+f7 | 10:55 |
| aloo_shu | alex27: startx, xstart are both worth a try, but in my experience you -either get problems for starting a session as root, - or if you change user, X won't start because you aren't root | 10:56 |
| alex27 | nice | 10:57 |
| alex27 | systems so complicated right now, that we have to know a bunch of different things just to be able to launch Xserver, lol | 10:57 |
| aloo_shu | but if you have tty while graphical login hangs, you can get brighter with dmesg now | 10:58 |
| aloo_shu | I used to start an Xserver with just an xterm on it as root, and then su to my user and start session from that xterm | 10:59 |
| alex27 | ok, going to try something. will be back in a few minutes (hopefully) | 11:01 |
| aloo_shu | probably one could also use systemd start and stop this or that now - but who has really learned it? | 11:03 |

| eugenio_ | guiverc, actually I would like to know in which device grup is installed. That's why I have just concluded the ubuntu 18.08 installation where I set my two disks in raid1. During the partition stage I created: bootgrub partition (150Mb) and raid partition of the rest of the disk. I did it the same for the second disk. Then I set the raid md0 as /. During the installation I saw a message pointing at the installation of grub in /dev/s | 11:22 |

| gigirock | Bazman, the 'try ubuntu' option gives you a complete ubuntu desktop where you can work smoothly | 11:32 |
| leftyfb | Bazman: in "try ubuntu" there should be an icon on the desktop that lets you install ubuntu | 11:33 |

| gigirock | Bazman, errors are learning moments | 11:34 |

| ioria | and efi it's too small, afaik | 12:11 |
| Bazman | There is currently a 60GB swap partition the rule of thumb i read was 1.5*your ram | 12:11 |
| TJ- | Bazman: you only need 1.5 (actually 1.1x is usually enough) if you want to hibernate to disk | 12:11 |
| TJ- | Bazman: the swapfile is used to save the RAM image before power-off, and is read from there on boot when the hibernate image is detected | 12:12 |
| ioria | Bazman, and also lsblk might be useful | 12:12 |

| Bazman | The hibernation thing sounds nice but not critical to my needs I just want things to be as simple as possible | 12:24 |
| TJ- | Bazman: one of the install options is to use LVM (Logical Volume Management). If so, a swap device can be created as a Logical Volume (LV) which can later be increased in size using the 'lvextend' command | 12:24 |
| razieliyo | those images are 4 different boots, just in case it rings some bells on anyone | 12:24 |
| Bazman | OK that would seem to give the most flexibility | 12:24 |
| === Rootyjr is now known as boogle | ||
| TJ- | razieliyo: thats a bug in the PC's firmware, in its ACPI DSDT code | 12:25 |
| Dbugger | I have a Synology NAS, and when I try to access the folders, I go to "Other locations", and sometimes they appear there, and sometimes it doesnt | 12:25 |
| Dbugger | Does anybody know why?? | 12:25 |
| razieliyo | but mainly: TJ- oh, thanks for the light | 12:25 |
| TJ- | Bazman: but an LV is still pre-allocated. A file can be altered in size as needed | 12:25 |
| Bazman | fyi: There is also a second 6BG drive that I planned to keep documents on it's currently disconnected to stop me installing on the wrong drive | 12:25 |
| Bazman | OK happy to go with the file option | 12:26 |
| === boogle is now known as Rootyjr | ||
| TJ- | razieliyo: I'm going to guess it's because the PC firmware expects to be hosting Microsoft Windows and doesn't enable everything when the OS says "I'm Linux!" - there is a a workaround that may help you; read: http://iam.tj/prototype/enhancements/Windows-acpi_osi.html | 12:27 |
| razieliyo | TJ-, I guess I'll need to update the firmware or something | 12:27 |
| razieliyo | thanks TJ- | 12:27 |
| razieliyo | TJ-, thing is I sometimes can enter the system | 12:27 |
| TJ- | razieliyo: let us know if that solves it, or not, so we know for other people with the same issue | 12:27 |
| razieliyo | in fact I tried this a bunch of times with many ubuntu based distros | 12:27 |
| TJ- | razieliyo: right, things can be unstable and plain weird | 12:27 |
| razieliyo | okay, I'll try to search, I just gave up a while ago and I am stuck now on windows in the laptop :/ | 12:27 |
| TJ- | razieliyo: acpi_osi= as detailed in my article seems to solve 85% of this kind of issue | 12:28 |
| razieliyo | TJ-, much thanks, now at least I know my PC is not broken, because it doesn't even have a year | 12:28 |
| razieliyo | fine | 12:28 |
| TJ- | razieliyo: it assumes you can at least boot the LiveISO installer though | 12:28 |
| razieliyo | I just was hoping this is a issue with newer hardware | 12:29 |
| razieliyo | TJ-, just a question, can this have something to do with secure boot? | 12:29 |
| ioria | TJ-, Bazman am i blind ? i don't see root here ->> http://www.termbin.com/lk9i | 12:30 |
| Bazman | sorry so you still need inxi? | 12:30 |
| TJ- | razieliyo: ACPI DSDT is code stored in the firmware (UEFI or BIOS) that the host OS has to execute to configure devices and power management. Manufacturers have taken to detecting which OS version is the host to enable functionality, and they usually only enable everything for Windows OS. Linux gets some default minimal set in most cases. | 12:30 |
| razieliyo | ah yes, I was reading your article, very informative | 12:30 |
| ioria | Bazman, inxi -Fxxprzc0| nc termbin.com 9999 | 12:31 |
| Bazman | ioria: There was a root this morning, but when I maxed out the 20BG partition I tried to enlarge it but seems I've borked it! | 12:31 |
| ioria | i see | 12:31 |
| TJ- | ioria: /dev/loop0, it's the installer, using squashfs on /rofs | 12:32 |
| === war10ckww- is now known as sgn | ||
| razieliyo | TJ-, I will probably not try it just right now but when I do, I'll come here and let you know | 12:32 |
| razieliyo | I probably can enter the system via recovery mode | 12:33 |
| TJ- | razieliyo: or try booting with a liveISO since that must have worked once to install - unless it was installed whilst on another motherboard | 12:34 |
| ioria | Bazman, back to the original issue, you are now trying to reinstall, but the desktop installer it's not working right ? | 12:34 |
| Bazman | <ioria> Bazman, inxi -Fxxprzc0| nc termbin.com 9999, I get prompted to install inxi but when I try it says E:Unable to locate package inxi | 12:34 |
| TJ- | !info inxi | 12:34 |
| ubottu | inxi (source: inxi): full featured system information script. In component universe, is extra. Version 2.3.56-1 (bionic), package size 139 kB, installed size 623 kB | 12:34 |
| ioria | Bazman, sudo apt update | 12:34 |
| TJ- | Bazman: you'd need to go into Software Properties and enable the Universe component | 12:35 |
| ioria | Bazman, and if not working, sudo add-apt-repository universe | 12:35 |
| razieliyo | ok I'll try to do it right now TJ- since you provide that quick script | 12:35 |
| ioria | Bazman, and sudo apt update again | 12:36 |
| TJ- | right, I need to go. If razieliyo reports back on his ACPI issue let me know - thanks | 12:37 |
| Bazman | http://www.termbin.com/663h | 12:39 |
| Bazman | <ioria> Bazman, back to the original issue, you are now trying to reinstall, but the desktop installer it's not working right ? that's correct | 12:40 |
| Bazman | I'm happy to format everything in the ubuntu section but don't want to affect the windows section in anyway | 12:40 |
| ioria | Bazman, well, if the installer not starting,you cannot do anything :þ | 12:41 |
| sgn | is this normal that 18.04 with awesome wm (no composite) use around 600mb to 700mb idle, but when I had 12.04 I was around 200mb to 300mb | 12:41 |
| sgn | I see a lot of gnome-shell | 12:42 |
| ioria | Bazman, how did you do the usb pendrive ? with what software ? | 12:42 |
| Bazman | R U serious can't it be done from the command line? | 12:42 |
| Bazman | I used a DVD | 12:43 |
| ioria | Bazman, command line? you mean 'dd' ? and why a dvd ? | 12:43 |
| Bazman | The iso image was downloaded from the ubuntu website | 12:43 |
| razieliyo | has anyone access to the log to send me the link TJ gave me? :D | 12:43 |
| razieliyo | it shouldn't be too far | 12:43 |
| razieliyo | it's at isme.tj or something like that | 12:43 |
| ioria | Bazman, dvd are slow | 12:44 |
| Bazman | I only had a DVD to hand I did't think it would make a big difference? | 12:44 |
| Bazman | I realize that now! | 12:44 |
| jje | razieliyo: http://iam.tj/prototype/enhancements/Windows-acpi_osi.html | 12:44 |
| ioria | Bazman, ok, how did you do the dvd , then ? | 12:44 |
| razieliyo | thanks jje! | 12:45 |
| razieliyo | I managed to enter the desktop even with the recovery mode lol | 12:45 |
| Bazman | I downlaoded the disk iso from the ubuntu website | 12:45 |
| ioria | ok .... | 12:45 |
| ioria | and ? | 12:45 |
| Bazman | I burnt to the DVD and installed it. It was working perfectly untill I tried to increase the size of the root partition | 12:46 |
| Bazman | I did the checks as well everything seemed fine | 12:46 |
| razieliyo | ok I'll try it, wish my luck | 12:46 |
| Bazman | Look worst comes to the worst I am willing to format the whole disk I just want to get up and running again | 12:48 |
| Bazman | Can I run the command to format and reinstall from the command line? | 12:49 |
| ioria | Bazman, try again to double-click on the Desktop installer icon and wait a bit ... as i said dvd are slow | 12:49 |
| Bazman | OK | 12:50 |
| ioria | Bazman, maybe reboot first | 12:50 |
| Bazman | OK | 12:52 |
| eugenio_ | how can I check in which partition grub2 is installed? | 12:57 |
| razieliyo | ok, TJ solution seems to work! | 12:59 |
| razieliyo | I rebooted like 6 times | 12:59 |
| razieliyo | the only issue was that it still hangs when trying to enter xfce, not sure why, but I got to install awesomewm which is what I use and this runs perfectly :D | 13:00 |
| leftyfb | Bazman: how's it going? | 13:02 |
| beaver | where is the .iso for xubuntu 18.04.1 (ARM) ? | 13:02 |
| beaver | hello | 13:03 |
| leftyfb | beaver: there's no such thing | 13:03 |
| leftyfb | beaver: ARM doesn't use iso's | 13:03 |
| beaver | or .img, sorry | 13:04 |
| leftyfb | beaver: What arm device are you attempting to put ubuntu on? | 13:04 |
| razieliyo | btw, is so weird that awesomewm windows got a top bar by default | 13:04 |
| beaver | leftyfb: a raspberry | 13:04 |
| leftyfb | beaver: ok, then you want #raspberrypi. But to give you a hint, I don't think there's "xubuntu" for the pi. Maybe install ubuntu mate available from the pi website and then install your xfce desktop | 13:05 |
| beaver | thank you | 13:06 |
| beaver | it was for a user on the channel #ubuntu-fr, i copy/paste your answer | 13:07 |
| compdoc | the Mate desktop comes in a version that uses GTK 3.22, and a version that uses an older GTK. Anyone know od problems using 3.22? | 13:08 |
| Bazman | leftyfb doing it now | 13:09 |
| Bazman | v slow with dvd | 13:09 |
| Bazman | If this does not work would it be feasible to format the linux partitions using windows | 13:11 |

| kubast2_ | hey I got an issue regarding hibernation ,I am getting some acpi errors ,and hibernation causes a reboot ,while reboot causes shutdown+reboot | 13:12 |
| kubast2_ | like when I do hibernation it sorta tries to go through a process | 13:12 |
| kubast2_ | it shows dmesg with acpi errors(4 of them) | 13:13 |
| kubast2_ | then screen goes dark ,usb devices shutdown ,but motherboard never shutsdown(fans spin and ps/2 keyboard is turned on all this time) | 13:13 |
| Bazman | I'm clicking to install 3rd party software | 13:13 |
| kubast2_ | and then I see an grub bootloader | 13:13 |
| kubast2_ | without motherboard logos etc | 13:13 |
| kubast2_ | I just boot directlly to grub from hibernation | 13:14 |
| kubast2_ | as in machine never shutsdown | 13:14 |
| kubast2_ | on hibernation | 13:14 |
| kubast2_ | it reboots to grub | 13:14 |
| kubast2_ | shutdown does a shutdown ; reboot does shutdown+reboot and hibernation does some strange reboot | 13:15 |
| === test is now known as Guest27166 | ||
| Bazman | leftyfb, ioria: it's started the install wizard ;-) | 13:15 |
| kubast2_ | (besides like having no bios logo ,this strange reboot is the reboot I had before something got screwed up) | 13:15 |
| Bazman | Can someone talk me through how to repartition the drive? | 13:15 |
| razieliyo | well, I'll have to wait to tell TJ that this worked | 13:16 |
| kubast2_ | what do you want to do ? | 13:16 |
| leftyfb | Bazman: delete the previous ubuntu install partitions, then use the guided install to install ubuntu the large partition left over after Windows | 13:16 |
| kubast2_ | Bazman: | 13:16 |
| kubast2_ | ah k | 13:16 |
| leftyfb | Bazman: don't bother with manually partitioning /home or swap or anything. It doesn't sound like you have specific needs for either so keep things simple | 13:17 |
| Guest27166 | Do any of you guys know of any Linux mp3 media player having the capabilities to sync an Ipod touch, besides banshee, amarok, clementine, gkpod and , ect? | 13:17 |
| Bazman | leftyfb: OK so in the ubuntu install wizard I just delete all the linux partitions right? | 13:18 |
| Bazman | leftyfb: I will then be able to create one large linux partiton from the free space | 13:19 |
| Bazman | leftfb: OK it's installing fingers crossed! | 13:27 |

| mehhinator | amdmatt2: I'm not assuming everyone wants the same. I'm assuming there is a config option for something as utterly basic as this. I don't mind a config file, either. | 14:24 |
| amdmatt2 | Aright, I am KDE Fedora | 14:26 |
| amdmatt2 | Archive Manager, I never get Right Click, and unzip to work | 14:26 |
| amdmatt2 | Soo | 14:26 |
| pragmaticenigma | mehhinator: That is something that might be tweakable through the gnome tweak tool... let me find the correct package name | 14:27 |
| mehhinator | If it is the one with the extensions in it, I don't see it listed there. | 14:29 |
| pragmaticenigma | mehhinator: the package is gnome-tweak-tool ... if you are unable to find a setting in there, then it isn't tweakable. | 14:29 |
| Binary_Disaster | Should I run Ubuntu from an external hard drive on my macbook? | 14:30 |
| lotuspsychje | Binary_Disaster: not reccomended as usb will bottleneck speed | 14:31 |
| Binary_Disaster | So I should just partition the internal hdd? | 14:32 |
| pragmaticenigma | Binary_Disaster: it is also not recommended as when you disconnect the drive, and reboot the mac, the mac may not want to boot because of the missing boot drive | 14:32 |
| pragmaticenigma | Binary_Disaster: From a performance and stability point of view, yes, it is better to partition the drive | 14:34 |
| Binary_Disaster | I'm just afraid of partitioning, to be honest. Say I partition my drive, and for whatever reason I need/want to delete Ubuntu, will I have any issues in getting that space back? This is a VERY unlikely scenario as I'm in LOVE with linux(have been running it on virtualBox for a while now), but just curious as to what ya'll think | 14:36 |
| mehhinator | Binary_Disaster: You don't have to be afraid of partitioning any more than you have to be afraid of deleting a file without something like a trash bin to help you undo it. | 14:37 |
| mehhinator | They can be deleted afterwards, and repartitioned as many times as you'd like. The contents will of course go lost, unless you have specialized tools for those purposes. | 14:37 |
| mehhinator | If you decide the linux filesystems aren't good for you and you want to put it back into something that Windows/Mac/whatever enjoys, repartitioning and formatting your external in those formats can be easily accomplished. | 14:39 |
| pragmaticenigma | Binary_Disaster: I think the best advice is to always make sure to back up your data before you play with partitions on your computer. If something goes sideways, you won't have to worry about what got lost. | 14:40 |
| Binary_Disaster | Will a Time Machine-made backup suffice? | 14:40 |
| lotuspsychje | Binary_Disaster: you still have the original mac install media? | 14:41 |
| pragmaticenigma | Binary_Disaster: If you trust Time Machine... sure... I go by the 1-2-3 backup rule of thumb... 1 backups is none, 2 back ups is 1, 3 backups is 2 | 14:41 |
| pragmaticenigma | Binary_Disaster: In your case, Time machine is one backup... I'd back up the important stuff to that external drive you were planning on using | 14:42 |
| Binary_Disaster | Oh, let me clarify: my Time-machine backup is stored on an external 3TB drive that I use JUST for backups | 14:43 |
| pragmaticenigma | Binary_Disaster: Did you seem my earlier commment? 1 back up is the equivalent of having NO backup | 14:44 |
| amdmatt2 | Since I didn't get banned | 14:44 |
| amdmatt2 | later | 14:44 |
| mehhinator | That's still one backup. Even if you make five backups on that drive, it is still one backup. When that drive dies? No backup. | 14:44 |
| pragmaticenigma | I would use the second external drive, and manually copy the files I know I can't afford to lose over to it. | 14:45 |
| Binary_Disaster | I believe Time Machine does a good-enough job that even given the worst-case scenario of like, "OS X crashed and burst into flames", then I can hookup my mac to the Time Machine-made backup and it would have OS X up and running in no time. Am I correct about this? Sorry I'm being such a noob about this, but it's just that I'm new to the dual-boot world. | 14:47 |
| mehhinator | Binary_Disaster: I can't speak about Time Machine, but a smart person tests their backups. The only way to know if a backup works is to restore from it. | 14:48 |
| pragmaticenigma | Binary_Disaster: What we are describing has nothing to do with dual booting. You expressed concern about recovering from a partition data corruption. Our suggestion is to back up your data. We're trying to exemplify that you should really make a second copy to ensure that your data is properly backed up before you begin. | 14:49 |
| pragmaticenigma | Binary_Disaster: given your timidness about dual booting... and our assumption that you only have one computer, we're trying to suggest a way to ensure that all your data is safe before you begin | 14:50 |
| Binary_Disaster | 1 Backup means 0 backups, 2 backups means 1 backups, 3 backups means 2, n backups means n-1 backups | 14:51 |
| Binary_Disaster | That seems like a good rule to follow | 14:51 |
| Binary_Disaster | And I shall | 14:51 |
| mehhinator | Of course, not having backups and screwing up when you don't have backups is by far the quickest way to learn. Of course, the problem is that most people find they learn from their mistakes, and not from the possible fix that might follow. ;-) | 14:51 |
| Binary_Disaster | Thanks ya'll for the awesome support and help! | 14:52 |
| pragmaticenigma | Binary_Disaster: That mnemonic is due to the fact that one back up method may not be complete enough. So using different techniques, media for storage (cloud, ext hd, DVD, etc) and methods of backing up (time machine, rsync, manual copy, etc.) will help to make sure everything is safe and recoverable. | 14:53 |
| mehhinator | No problem. Again: don't be afraid of partitioning. Fear dual-booting a little bit, in case it ruins your boot sequence, so make sure you have a linux live stick or mac recovery medium nearby. As long as you have your data safe, you can figure the rest out with those few tools. | 14:54 |
| pragmaticenigma | We also encourage the backup especially with macs, as they can be temperamental with linux | 14:55 |
| Binary_Disaster | So...Time Machine does NOT make a mac recovery medium image/thingy inside the backups it makes? | 14:55 |
| leftyfb | Binary_Disaster for that you'll have to go to apple support | 14:56 |
| Binary_Disaster | Good one! | 14:56 |
| pragmaticenigma | Binary_Disaster: no, apple support will have the instructions on how to make one | 14:56 |
| mehhinator | Most OS offer an option to create such a stick if you go looking for it, or it already exists in the form of the installation medium. | 14:58 |

| guest394832489 | pragmaticenigma, yeah I saw that, but no info on lts-to-lts upgrades there | 15:58 |

| pluma | I'm probably an idiot but I'm having trouble with some apt dependencies on 18.04. These always get held back: "libegl1 libgl1 libgles2 libglvnd0 libglx0". Apparently they depend on policykit-1-gnome at some point, but if I try to install that, apt wants to unravel my entire desktop (including firefox and xwayland). | 16:56 |

| tomreyn | pluma: you run "apt-cache policy PACKAGE" to see which versions are available, this will list the one you currently have, and those which are available from apt repositories. then it's usually best to purge the package and reinstall it from your configured apt repositories, which will then give you a supported version. but with some packages this is not an option since it will break a lot of dependencies. in this case a downgrade may be better. | 17:47 |
| jayjo | for example this is what my file manager looks like: https://pasteboard.co/HxuzyTH.png | 17:48 |
| tomreyn | pluma: to downgrade, you take note of the version you want to install (from apt-cache policy PACKAGE), and downgrade using "sudo apt install PACKAGE=VERSION" | 17:48 |
| pluma | ah, okay, thanks | 17:48 |
| jayjo | I'm not quite sure what it is that I have to reinstall. Is this nautilis? Is is the gui overall (so is that gnome that needs to be reinstalled?) | 17:48 |
| pluma | @tomreyn I'm a bit confused by initscripts and insserv tho. They sound vital but they're listed as having no available version. | 17:49 |
| tomreyn | vignesh: run "grep -i wireless <( lspci -nn; lsusb )" and post the output to a pastebin | 17:49 |

| tomreyn | cousteau: bioth bugs are about nvida-primes' inability to power down the nvidia card while you're using the intel card. | 17:53 |
| cousteau | oh | 17:53 |
| jayjo | and like on system preferences the "apply" button and other buttons don't show when I hover over them | 17:54 |
| jayjo | I can still click on it, but the interface is not correct. What term should I be searching for when trying to fix this? | 17:54 |
| cousteau | my specific problem is that nvidia-settings directly says "Reboot the computer!" like it can't hot-swap them | 17:54 |

| * cousteau googles that | 17:55 | |
| tomreyn | pluma: looks like your release upgrade didnt go so well, those should have been removed already. | 17:55 |
| tomreyn | i.e. during the latest ubuntu release upgrade | 17:55 |
| pluma | yeah, as I said, it kinda broke bad | 17:55 |
| tomreyn | pluma: oh, looks like yi missed you saying so. | 17:56 |
| tomreyn | <pluma> Upgrading to 18.04 was "fun" because I had some ppa that provided the graphics drivers and upgrading landed me with a broken GUI so I had to try to uninstall and reinstall packages until the GUI worked again. | 17:56 |
| tomreyn | right, i had missed this, sorry. | 17:57 |
| tomreyn | in a situation liek this it's usually best to just do a clean installation | 17:57 |
| pluma | @tomreyn looks like I mostly fixed it: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/HXDw6dSRbp/ | 17:58 |
| tomreyn | vignesh: this is the controller's hardware ID, you should always mention this when looking for help with it: 8086:08b3 | 17:58 |
| tomreyn | vignesh: now you can search the web for "ubuntu 18.04" and this id, and you should be able to find some hints on what other people did who experienced the same issues, or at least a bug report you can subscribe to to get notified when fixing these issues makes progress. | 17:59 |
| pluma | @tomreyn well, I'm going to switch to Windows in the future anyway and the laptop works fine otherwise (well, if you ignore that it randomly freezes when not on AC power), so right now I'm not going to wipe it. | 17:59 |
| tomreyn | vignesh: ubuntu bug reports are managed on launchpad.net | 18:00 |
| SimonNL | vignesh: you could consider joining #linux-wireless on this server | 18:00 |
| tomreyn | pluma: this is where you'll replace the proproietary nvidia driver by nouveau, i think. | 18:01 |
| vignesh | tomreyn: Thank you! | 18:01 |
| vignesh | SimonNL: How do I do that? | 18:01 |
| tomreyn | vignesh: welcome, it's at leats a step in the right direction. if you have a biit more time i'll see if ican find a recommendation for you. | 18:02 |
| SimonNL | #linux-wireless <= right click choose connect | 18:02 |
| pluma | @tomreyn funny thing is, I don't even have an nvidia card AFAIK. I think it's an intel HD | 18:02 |
| tomreyn | or ask in wireless, that's probably better than what i can do | 18:02 |
| SimonNL | depending on your client I think | 18:02 |
| SimonNL | vignesh: or type /join #linux-wireless | 18:03 |
| tomreyn | pluma: oh, wenn then you most likely dont want nvidia's proprietary drivers installed. it's strange that you had them in the first place then | 18:03 |
| jayjo | I know you can adjust the terminal display settings like this blog post shows: https://www.maketecheasier.com/customize-terminal-ubuntu/ but is there a way to modify the top window toolbar specifically for terminal, if I want a transparent background? | 18:03 |
| w0lgix | hello | 18:03 |

| tomreyn | pluma: your latest apt prompt was this: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/HXDw6dSRbp/ - you actaully had libnvidia-common-390 and libnvidia-gl-390 removed then already. you can purge those packages. | 18:18 |
| midnofmateo | Hello. I'm trying to install 18.04.1 on my laptop. I created a bootdisk, rebooted to BIOS, moved it to first boot priority, and loaded the installer menu. I selected Install Ubuntu, instead of "try without installing". I made it through the installer until it said the installation is complete and needs to reboot. Once it rebooted though, it | 18:18 |
| midnofmateo | just freezes. I've tried to reinstall and the installer freezes, too. I realize that is incredibly vague, but I don't know what to do at this point. | 18:18 |
| === midnofmateo is now known as mindofmateo | ||
| tomreyn | pluma: sorry, that was incorrect. you didnt have these packages removed, yet, but they were pending removal because all the packages which had depended on them had since been removed. | 18:19 |
| nikolam | I was too harsh on my last posting on channel. Sorry. I tried that problematic ZFS pool om illumos, too and it also acs the same, just freezing and not letting system to reboot. | 18:20 |
| tomreyn | pluma: you can purge all packages which are pending automatic removal by using: "sudo apt --purge autoremove" | 18:20 |
| nikolam | So it's not Ubuntu Linux problem, more of a openZFS one, that is universal acreoss platforms (and that pool) | 18:20 |
| tomreyn | pluma: if you run " dpkg -l | grep ^r " you'll see more packages which can be purged (i.e. they are already removed but yuo still have their configuration file in place, which probably makes no sense then, unless you plan to reinstall those later) | 18:21 |
| mindofmateo | Also, Alt + F2 doesn't enter the console either. And the cursor doesn't move. | 18:21 |
| Simonious | iwconfig wlan0 essid name key password - this isn't working (I'm filling in the key and pw correctly) can someone point me at network config instructions that work for ubuntu? | 18:22 |

| birchwo | recruting for a blog to cover Linux news, anyone interested? PM me. | 18:25 |
| tomreyn | mindofmateo: it is usually best not to (permanently) change the boot order before installing, but to just use the bios / uefi boot menu to override the boot order for a single boot. | 18:25 |

| mindofmateo | Tomeryn: Acer Aspire 7 N17C2, it's a laptop. That's how I went to the boot drive from windows. I held shift with restart, selected EFI/Boot USB drive. Later on once it wasn't working, that's when I tried switching the boot order to go back the installer to try to reinstall but the installer froze too. | 18:26 |
| jayjo | any ideas on how to change the rotation of the login screen? Now it works if I go to the lock screen everything is rotated, but when I reboot or log out the screen is rotated | 18:27 |
| mindofmateo | pragmaticenigma: I left the boot drive in once it rebooted the first time, but at some point I removed it after shutting down to see if it would make a difference when starting. I've tried booting in both UEFI and Legacy mode. Re: what did I switch in BIOS, I temporarily set the boot drive to priority one to try to reinstall it, then when that f | 18:28 |

| pragmaticenigma | mindofmateo: If you were done with windows... then I can't think of anything. If you weren't ready to go full time, and your computer is a Dell, Acer, HP, etc... the only thing I could think of is the system restore partition. but you can re-install windows without that | 18:37 |
| mindofmateo | Right. Worse case, I figured, if I could not so something without Windows, I would use a VM. | 18:38 |
| tomreyn | mindofmateo: i can't really find much about this model. can you point me to a website discussing its technical specifications? | 18:39 |

| tomreyn | !ubuntu+1 | neoncontrails | 18:41 |
| ubottu | neoncontrails: Cosmic Cuttlefish is the codename for Ubuntu 18.10 - Support only in #ubuntu+1 | 18:41 |
| mindofmateo | tomreyn, the sticker on the bottom says "Model No.: (some chinese?) N17C2" as far as tech specs, i7 7700HQ, 32gb ddr4, 500gb ssd (I don't know anything else about the ssd, though). I'll look up where I bought it from. | 18:42 |
| nacc | neoncontrails: you need to go 17.04 -> 17.10 -> 18.04 via eol upgrades; then set up development upgrades to upgrade to 18.10 (which is pre-alpha, and since you haven't upgraded your system in the year or so since you were supposed to, i don't recommend you using). | 18:42 |
| neoncontrails | nacc: Whoops, I made a typo: 17.10=>18.04 | 18:43 |
| nacc | neoncontrails: ah ok :) | 18:43 |
| nacc | neoncontrails: still an eol upgrade | 18:43 |
| tomreyn | mindofmateo: where you bought it is not important. maybe you can show the outputs of "lspci -nn" and "lsusb" while you'r eon the ubuntu live cd / usb. | 18:43 |
| jayjo | is there a way to decrease the icon size below 50%? Now that is still much too large | 18:43 |

| mindofmateo | tomreyn: you're correct. That's strange, it does say the model number I mentioned above on the sticker, but then at the other corner it says "Acer A715-71G" | 19:04 |

| tomreyn | mindofmateo: i suspect it'S this one https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/model/NX.GP8AA.006 and, if so, this is where you get the latest bios updates for it (latest is 1.13): https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/support-product/7296?b=1 | 19:06 |
| tomreyn | mindofmateo: "sudo dmidecode --type system --type bios --type baseboard" may help confirm this | 19:08 |

| tomreyn | ktech2: was this system stable before you installed ubuntu 18.04.1? | 19:31 |
| ioria | mindofmateo, or not ? | 19:31 |
| ktech2 | tomreyn: I figured it out... I had to add mandb into /etc/lsp.exclude | 19:31 |
| ktech2 | I have Astrill VPN also installed since I'm in China | 19:31 |
| ktech2 | https://askubuntu.com/questions/1039629/setting-up-man-db-crashes-system-with-bad-system-calls | 19:32 |
| mindofmateo | Yes, it doesn't go to GRUB. I do not have Windows. From a powered off state, if I press the on button, it boots straight to Ubuntu. | 19:32 |
| ktech2 | apparantly it screws it up somehow | 19:32 |
| ktech2 | once I added it apt managed to resolve itself | 19:32 |
| mindofmateo | I did press `e`, but from the installer boot USB drive, not the system. So there is no strict "Ubuntu" option, only "Try Ubuntu" and "install Ubuntu" | 19:32 |
| ioria | mindofmateo, press shift or esc | 19:32 |
| mindofmateo | I pressed shift and nothing happened | 19:33 |
| ioria | mindofmateo, you don't have to use the usb; use your installation | 19:33 |
| mindofmateo | ? if I use my installation, how can I possibly press `e` when "Ubuntu" is selected in the GRUB menu, if it never loads GRUB? | 19:34 |
| ioria | mindofmateo, you make it come up pressing shift or esc | 19:35 |
| xnite | I have SSH listening on 22, and according to netstat it's bound to the port. I have nginx running as well. I can access the nginx default page, but I'm getting connection refused on ssh. To make sure it wasn't my IDS getting in t he way I disabled snort temporarily and removed all blocked hosts. I can connect from localhost to ssh, but not over the local network basically. I have checked iptables and there is nothing there aside | 19:35 |
| xnite | from the default allow rules. Is there any other firewall or something that might be getting in my way? | 19:35 |
| mindofmateo | ioria: OK, I understand what you mean now. I can follow the link now. | 19:35 |
| ioria | mindofmateo, on a single boot grub is hidden by default | 19:35 |
| ktech2 | xnite: mybe ufw? try 'ufw status' | 19:35 |
| cavillis | !ltsupgrade | 19:36 |
| ubottu | Upgrades from 16.04 LTS will not be enabled until a few days after the 18.04.1 release expected in late July. | 19:36 |
| ioria | mindofmateo, single boot = no windows | 19:36 |
| xnite | ktech2: active... so how do I disable that? It's a local dev machine, don't really need it. | 19:36 |
| tomreyn | ktech2: please repost a bug against man-db (ubuntu-bug man-db) if so, this shoul dnot happen. | 19:36 |
| xnite | nvm I'll just uninstall it | 19:37 |
| ktech2 | tomreyn: the author is already in that thread | 19:37 |
| ktech2 | he's aware | 19:37 |
| ktech2 | xnite: you can add SSH to it... something like ufw allow ssh | 19:38 |
| xnite | ktech2: I tried `ufw allow 22/tcp` with no luck | 19:38 |
| mindofmateo | ioria: do I need to add the line `acpi=...` to this file `setparams Ubuntu` (I'm guessing it's a file) | 19:38 |
| xnite | and just tried `ufw allow ssh` also without any luck. | 19:38 |
| ioria | mindofmateo, no, you add nomodeset | 19:39 |
| jayjo | I tried some other options but I can't disbale my eject key - it appears to be software because it displays the ubutnu eject button. is there a way to just map the keypress to do nothing? | 19:39 |
| ktech2 | xnite: and 'netstat -nltp' definitely shows SSH running on port 22? | 19:39 |
| xnite | ktech2: yup | 19:39 |
| xnite | and it connects on localhost, let's not forget that. | 19:39 |
| ktech2 | on 0.0.0.0? | 19:39 |
| ktech2 | or 127.0.0.1? | 19:39 |
| xnite | 0.0.0.0 | 19:39 |
| mindofmateo | error: can't find command `nomodeset' | 19:40 |
| ktech2 | hm... you can disable the FW temp by doing ufw disable | 19:40 |
| xnite | now I'm very confused. I completely disabled ufw. `ufw disable`, it removed it from startup / stopped it, but still no luck getting in... I'm going to uninstall ufw and reboot | 19:40 |
| ktech2 | but I don't think that'll help | 19:40 |
| ktech2 | no | 19:40 |
| ktech2 | don't do that | 19:40 |
| ktech2 | it's not ufw | 19:40 |
| ioria | mindofmateo, it's not a cmd,it's a kernel parameter | 19:40 |
| ktech2 | disabling it is enough | 19:40 |
| xnite | yea t hat's what I'm thinking | 19:40 |
| ktech2 | there's something else | 19:40 |
| xnite | I wanted to nuke it just in case though. :/ | 19:40 |
| ktech2 | between you and the other host | 19:40 |
| ktech2 | it's just a wrapper for iptables | 19:41 |
| xnite | possibly, idk what it is though but I'll try from a diff computer | 19:41 |
| ktech2 | nuking it won't help | 19:41 |
| mindofmateo | ioria: I don't understand. The link I followed only shows options (nomodeset, acpi=, ...) It doesn't say what to do with them. | 19:41 |
| ktech2 | and nuking iptables definitely won't help (that'll probably bork the whole system) | 19:41 |
| mindofmateo | I added it to the grub file that appeared when I pressed `e` from the grub menu. | 19:41 |
| xnite | ktech2: it's my local Ubuntu computer doing it. My other Windows one can connect to it fine using bash for windows. | 19:42 |
| tomreyn | mindofmateo: thats's good, and what did you do then? | 19:42 |
| ioria | mindofmateo, do you see this ? http://kbimg.dell.com/library/KB/DELL_ORGANIZATIONAL_GROUPS/DELL_GLOBAL/REC/nomodeset_Linux_HC_ASM_02.jpg | 19:42 |
| mindofmateo | ioria: yes that's what I saw. | 19:42 |
| xnite | on the + side it's come that far now, because earlier it couldn't either. | 19:43 |
| ioria | mindofmateo, add after quiet splash ,nomodest and press f10 | 19:43 |
| ktech2 | xnite: so you got... 3 computers? | 19:43 |
| ktech2 | 1 host - 1 can connect, one cannot | 19:43 |
| ktech2 | am I right? | 19:44 |
| xnite | correct | 19:44 |
| ktech2 | so it's the one that can't connect that's the issue | 19:44 |
| ktech2 | what does it run? | 19:44 |
| xnite | 1 = home server, 2 = Ubuntu desktop 3=Windows desktop. 2 cannot connect to 1, 3 can connect to 1 & 2. | 19:45 |
| mindofmateo | tomreyn: I think I put `nomodeset`in the wrong spot | 19:45 |
| ktech2 | xnite: and the home server is also running ubuntu? | 19:45 |
| xnite | yup, that's the one that we just did ufw on | 19:45 |
| ktech2 | Yeah just making sure | 19:45 |
| ioria | mindofmateo, in the 'linux' line | 19:45 |
| tomreyn | mindofmateo: okay, i guess ioria's image will help find the right spot ;) | 19:46 |
| ktech2 | xnite: you're sure they're all in the same network and stuff? Sadly there could be a million things wrong here | 19:46 |
| jayjo | when i go to lock screen my monitors immediately shut off, is there a way to prevent that? | 19:46 |
| ca-on-adam | Hi, what do you call a web-based platform where you can log in to edit the page? I have used mediaWiki before but I am searching for something a lot simpler. | 19:46 |
| xnite | ktech2: yea, I can connect to nginx on it. | 19:47 |
| xnite | just not ssh, and yea there could be a million things blocking it u rright. | 19:47 |
| ca-on-adam | I keep running into desktop software for creating web content that needs to be uploaded, so I must have the wrong name. | 19:48 |
| ktech2 | xnite: are they plugged in or on wifi? | 19:48 |
| xnite | both are on ethernet and plugged into the same switch. | 19:48 |

| ktech2 | just to rule out networking issues | 19:49 |
| mindofmateo | OK, FINALLY I'm on the desktop and it didn't freeze when I logged in. Thank you all. | 19:49 |
| xnite | hmm, haven't thought of that (windows is on a diff switch btw) | 19:49 |
| ioria | mindofmateo, wait man... you can't use always nomodeset | 19:49 |
| mindofmateo | Ugh, ok as I typed that a dialog appeared that says "System program problem detected | Do you want to report the problem now" | 19:49 |

| ioria | mindofmateo, probably your card needs the bloody nvida drivers | 19:50 |
| ktech2 | bloody nvidia? Are those the bleeding edge ones? :D | 19:50 |
| ioria | ktech2, that's good | 19:51 |
| ktech2 | :) | 19:51 |
| on3pk | Shot in the dark type question, I'm doing a ssh tunnel for a server. After a period of time (not sure exactly), it seems to break down. On the remote device it shows that it is still listening, but data isn't being passed from the remote system to the local system. How do I debug this? | 19:51 |
| mindofmateo | ioria: I figured it had something to do with that, but I selected to install those drivers, even the proprietary ones, in the installation guide. | 19:51 |
| ioria | mindofmateo, good luck | 19:51 |
| jayjo | Super + Shift + L is suspending my session instead of just going to lock screen | 19:52 |
| mindofmateo | Well if luck is my only tool at this point, I'm doomed. | 19:52 |
| ca-on-adam | thanks tomreyn, it was a really simple question I know... | 19:52 |
| tomreyn | on3pk: usually, for persistent tunnels, you'd rather setup a VPN. | 19:52 |
| tomreyn | ca-on-adam: a really simple off-topic question. ;-) | 19:53 |
| ca-on-adam | tomreyn: is there a channel for ubuntu-server? | 19:53 |
| tomreyn | ca-on-adam: #ubuntu-server | 19:54 |
| mindofmateo | Am I wrong for wanting to just start over with a reinstall? | 19:54 |
| ca-on-adam | Ah, yes it would be more on-topic at #ubuntu-server, right? | 19:54 |
| tomreyn | ca-on-adam: discussing CMS? not unless they're packaged for ubuntu. | 19:55 |
| ca-on-adam | tomreyn: that would be nice! | 19:55 |
| ca-on-adam | Although as far as discussing them, not my intention. | 19:55 |
| ca-on-adam | Just needed the name | 19:56 |
| pc_magas | Usually on php-bazed CMS softwares I would prefer not to use package delivered ones. | 19:56 |
| ioria | mindofmateo, the suggested way, is press the Super (Win) key; type 'Drivers', go to Additional Drivers and install nvidia | 19:56 |
| jayjo | any thoughts on how to prevent my machine from suspending on lock? | 19:58 |
| pc_magas | I wonder if nouveua drivers support OpenCL | 19:58 |
| jayjo | Right now Super + L locks the screen, and it immediately goes into suspend/sleep. If I wake it somehow it stays on the lock screen and doesn't sleep | 19:58 |

| bigpic | hey guys i’m firing up an 18.04 server for the first time | 20:06 |
| bigpic | I’ve given it a 48gb disk | 20:06 |

| xnite | ktech2: oddly the internet on the server and my desktop both worked... they couldn't connect to eachother though because they were assigned the same IP address... I didn't catch that until now. | 20:07 |
| lotuspsychje | bigpic: checkout the #ubuntu-server channel mate | 20:12 |
| Pcost8300 | Hello and good afternoon, i would like to know if changing the root password from server would affect any services that are running by the moment | 20:23 |
| padarc | Pcost8300, you have a 99% chance it does not. | 20:26 |
| Pcost8300 | padarc: what about that 1% :O | 20:27 |
| jayjo | does anyone know where ubuntu 1804 is applying the css for my background image? it looks fine on the desktop, but I'm setting it manually for the login screen and it doesn't look the same | 20:29 |
| jayjo | I would like to just apply the same rules | 20:29 |
| jayjo | now I'm editing /etc/alternatives/gdm3.css for the login screen, that's where I'd like to mimic the css from the desktop | 20:29 |
| padarc | lets just say it's very unlikely changing the root password would affect running services in any way. Just saying 99% because i never say/write 100% ever ;) | 20:29 |
| jayjo | where would the css from the desktop be? | 20:29 |
| mehhinator | Pcost8300: If you have services that rely on a root password, there is something really wrong. Any service that needs root permissions should be running as root to begin with, and thus not need a password. Hell, any service needing a password is wrong; this is a problem that public and private keyfiles exist to solve in those situations where it is really necessary to login as a particular user. | 20:30 |
| padarc | mehhinator, just out of curiousity, you have an example for such a service? If a "normal" service would be affected by a root password change, it would do everything wrong in the first place and the dev should be killed :o | 20:33 |
| Pcost8300 | padarc: hahahaha there is no need to kill the dev, i just wanted to be sure nothing would happen; there are only common services like postgresql and glassfish server. | 20:34 |
| Pcost8300 | running on this server. | 20:35 |
| padarc | Pcost8300, then changing the password of root should not affect anything | 20:36 |
| padarc | Pcost8300, i would even pay you 100$ if you prove me wrong :P | 20:36 |
| Pcost8300 | padarc deal hahahaha | 20:36 |
| raidensnake | hey is there anyone who can get hold of the team to make a bionic release of this? | 20:44 |

| raidensnake | I can't use the audio on bionic using my intel cherry trail based devices | 20:45 |
| lotuspsychje | raidensnake: file a new bug perhaps, if something doesnt work as you wish? | 20:45 |
| raidensnake | it's not a bug I need. it's a compatible build. | 20:46 |
| raidensnake | the su7pport has been added but the build bot hasn't been scripted to make a bionic debian file | 20:46 |
| lotuspsychje | raidensnake: talk to #ubuntu-devel or #ubuntu-release then maybe | 20:47 |

| lotuspsychje | dal: better ask in #ubuntu-server mate | 20:59 |
| dal | Thanks Lotuspschje!!! | 20:59 |
| raidensnake | I'm not able to do that since there is no package version to file a bug with | 21:01 |
| lotuspsychje | raidensnake: you could file against linux-image perhaps and make it wishlist, add your story and for future help, you can show a bug url to whoever.. | 21:03 |
| lotuspsychje | raidensnake: its a missing feature on bionic you need right, so its a wish | 21:03 |
| raidensnake | not exactly | 21:04 |
| raidensnake | the support for it is in the code | 21:04 |
| raidensnake | but there's no actual compiled build for it | 21:04 |
| tomreyn | raidensnake: so which version do you need? | 21:05 |
| raidensnake | I need a version for bionic | 21:05 |
| tomreyn | raidensnake: which version of alsa contains the feature yu are looking for? | 21:06 |
| raidensnake | none | 21:06 |
| raidensnake | it's a seperate dkms package | 21:06 |
| raidensnake | to fix the intel cherrytrail audio issues | 21:06 |
| raidensnake | the only versions available are either xenial or artful | 21:07 |
| tomreyn | if its not upstream then it won't get packaged in ubuntu anytime soon | 21:07 |
| raidensnake | the code is there | 21:07 |
| raidensnake | it was added in a commit | 21:07 |
| raidensnake | https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-audio-dev/alsa-driver/dkms-packaging/revision/224 | 21:07 |
| raidensnake | this is the commit that was added | 21:08 |
| raidensnake | to support bionic | 21:08 |
| raidensnake | but the issue is there's no actualo build for it | 21:08 |
| raidensnake | actual* | 21:08 |
| tomreyn | well, then have some patience, or build it yourself | 21:09 |
| raidensnake | the problem is my hardware needs bionic for several reasons. | 21:10 |
| raidensnake | 1. because of the kernel version being the only version to support the memory card reader. and 2. because of the QT5 version requirements needed for compiling a certain app i use that got updated. since it needs 5.9 or better. | 21:12 |

| tomreyn | qwebirc41437: let's try, describe your issue | 21:23 |
| tomreyn | MurrayMunster: so what's wrong there? | 21:24 |
| MurrayMunster | in that screenshot, nothing; those are the icons that disappear | 21:24 |
| tomreyn | MurrayMunster: all of them? | 21:24 |
| MurrayMunster | yes | 21:24 |
| qwebirc41437 | have a working raid5 on 16.04 server- installed 18.04 server and was having boot issues. In some recovery mode menu I hit the fsck option and now the server no longer sees the raid | 21:25 |
| MurrayMunster | except for the wifi, volume, and battery indicators | 21:25 |
| lotuspsychje | MurrayMunster: do you use another theme? | 21:25 |
| MurrayMunster | nope | 21:25 |
| MurrayMunster | only the one that comes out of the box | 21:26 |
| tomreyn | MurrayMunster: can you show the output of "sudo /bin/true && pastebinit <( apt update; apt-cache policy; ) | 21:26 |
| MurrayMunster | sure | 21:26 |
| tomreyn | pretty sure one of the 3rd party repositories you have instealled are causing this. | 21:27 |
| tomreyn | or rather one of the third party packages installed from there | 21:27 |

| qwebirc41437 | yes | 21:28 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc41437: which installer did you use? | 21:29 |
| MurrayMunster | ahhh | 21:29 |
| qwebirc41437 | mdadm.conf was blank (didn't show array), but mdadm --examine --scan showed it | 21:29 |
| MurrayMunster | One thing, I do have a different icon theme | 21:29 |
| MurrayMunster | (sorry about that) | 21:29 |
| lotuspsychje | MurrayMunster: yeah seemed like it | 21:29 |
| qwebirc41437 | also when I tried to assemble, I received no superblock errors | 21:30 |
| MurrayMunster | my bad | 21:30 |
| qwebirc41437 | and I was able to remount it, but webmin (headless) showed it as a raid0 (instead of raid5) | 21:31 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc41437: you say you installed "18.04 server". but 18.04.1 was released a few days ago. and there are two different server installers, one of them is called 'server-liveinstaller' and has an orange + white theme. | 21:31 |

| tomreyn | MurrayMunster: I don't knwo this, but make sure it is actually compatible to your ubuntu 18.04: https://download.arangodb.com/arangodb33/xUbuntu_17.04 | 21:33 |
| MurrayMunster | why is it fixed one I reload gnome shell? | 21:33 |
| tomreyn | MurrayMunster: PPA's are not always of the same quality as ubuntu, or may be made for a different release altogether. | 21:34 |
| lotuspsychje | MurrayMunster: well if you would run a 18.04 liveusb, you wont have this issue im sure | 21:34 |
| MurrayMunster | well, at least the running apps (the one's that disappear) were installed through the sotware center | 21:34 |
| MurrayMunster | ok | 21:34 |
| lotuspsychje | MurrayMunster: so along the ride, something must have scrambled your system | 21:35 |
| MurrayMunster | ok | 21:35 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc41437: i see. so you have some disks, i assume 3 at least, and partitions on them, and then software raid-5 on top of those? | 21:35 |
| MurrayMunster | thaks a lot | 21:35 |
| MurrayMunster | really good help! | 21:35 |
| lotuspsychje | MurrayMunster: try to revert to as much vanilla as you can ok | 21:35 |
| MurrayMunster | ok | 21:35 |
| MurrayMunster | good advice | 21:35 |
| MurrayMunster | thanks | 21:35 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc41437: any other layers, such as lvm or crypto? which file systems? you could show lsblk and parted -ls | 21:35 |
| qwebirc41437 | yes, raid is still intact, no lvm or crypto ext4 | 21:36 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc41437: how do yuo know the raid is still intact? | 21:36 |
| qwebirc41437 | mdadm --assemble --scan shows it | 21:36 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc41437: okay, so let's see your outputs of the above commands and then we can try assembling it. | 21:38 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc41437: if you still have the "no superblock" errors, show those (and the command you ran there), too | 21:38 |

| mindofmateo | Hello everyone. Re: my problems with installing earlier, I was able to do a reinstall of 18.04.1, and now things seem to be working fine (and wifi works, praise the lawd). I have a few questions though, that I can't seem to fully understand from reading stackoverflow/reddit/googling. I saw a blue screen when booting that said something like "Pre | 21:47 |
| mindofmateo | ss any key to enter MOK Managment" (I didn't get a camera ready in time to snap a pic, but it was close to that) What does that mean? | 21:47 |
| tomreyn | mindofmateo: that's a firmware feature, specific to your mainboard / hardware / system | 21:48 |
| mindofmateo | So Q1 What is MOK Management? Also, this time around, I unchecked "Use LVM" (before I had it checked because I thought I needed it was related to repartitioning/formatting/wiping/whatever the SSD and starting fresh with Ubuntu instead of Windows. Now the system seems to be faster. Is LVM more for servers or complex systems? | 21:48 |
| qwebirc41437 | something changed - now I have nothing on mdadm --assemble --scan and | 21:48 |
| qwebirc41437 | md127 : active (auto-read-only) raid5 sdd1[2] sdc1[0] sde1[4] sdb1[3] 4395016704 blocks super 1.2 level 5, 512k chunk, algorithm 2 [4/4] [UUUU] | 21:49 |
| qwebirc41437 | that on /proc/mdstat | 21:49 |
| mindofmateo | Thanks tomreyn. Does it have to do with Secure Boot? I had that selected (Use secure boot) when I did the reinstall. | 21:49 |
| nacc | mindofmateo: MOK is related to secure boot, yes | 21:49 |
| tomreyn | ^ | 21:49 |
| mindofmateo | OK, thanks. I wasn't sure if I read it fast enough to remember what it said correctly. Is it something I need to configure? | 21:50 |
| qwebirc41437 | mdadm --examine --scan gives ARRAY /dev/md/0 metadata=1.2 UUID=e153458d:5b423807:de17d929:aff9083b name=fileserver:0 | 21:50 |
| mindofmateo | now or in the future | 21:50 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc41437: well if this looks like the correct member devices, sdb1, sdc1, sdd1, sde1, then it seem to be a happy array. | 21:51 |
| qwebirc41437 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Brp44zFthf/ | 21:52 |
| qwebirc41437 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/nFbnSvHFx4/ | 21:52 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc41437: posting single lines here is fine, just not 3 or more | 21:52 |
| qwebirc41437 | never used pastebinit before, learn something new | 21:52 |
| qwebirc41437 | raid is happy, but I'm unable to mount it | 21:53 |
| qwebirc41437 | (at least seems happy) | 21:53 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc41437: what'S on there, just a single ext4 file system you said, no lvm? | 21:53 |
| qwebirc41437 | pretty sure it was just ext4 | 21:54 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc41437: "unable to" is not a very useful report, "attempting to mount it using the command ... returns ..." is | 21:54 |
| qwebirc41437 | mount point does not exist - though last boot it mounted, I just couldn't access | 21:55 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc41437: let's see your input and output, i'm not watching over your shoulder, can't help otherwise | 21:56 |
| qwebirc41437 | mount: /mnt/md0: mount point does not exist. | 21:56 |
| tomreyn | that's the output | 21:57 |
| tomreyn | whats the command you ran? | 21:57 |
| qwebirc41437 | mount /dev/md0 /mnt/md0 | 21:57 |
| === wodencafe is now known as W0d3nC4f3 | ||
| qwebirc41437 | also this mdadm --misc --detail /dev/md0 | less mdadm: cannot open /dev/md0: No such file or directory | 21:58 |
| tomreyn | so the command tells you that the mountpoint /mnt/md0 does not exist. mount points should be empty directories. | 21:58 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc41437: your md is md127 | 21:59 |
| qwebirc41437 | mount /dev/md0 /mnt/md0 mount: /mnt/md0: special device /dev/md0 does not exist. | 21:59 |
| tomreyn | based on earlier output | 21:59 |
| === W0d3nC4f3 is now known as wOdEnCaFe | ||
| qwebirc41437 | ahh, I see, it's been so long since I built it, don't even know what to do now | 22:00 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc41437: so the device node will be /dev/md127 | 22:00 |
| tomreyn | not /dev/md0 | 22:00 |
| tomreyn | so use this in your mount command | 22:01 |
| tomreyn | alternatively, you could disassemble it and re-assemble it as /dev/md0 | 22:01 |
| qwebirc41437 | is there any benefit to that? | 22:02 |
| qwebirc41437 | mounted now. also in webmin showing up as raid127 vs raid5 device - should I be concerned with that? | 22:03 |
| tomreyn | only that any configurations and automations you have in place which may depend on this specific device name would not need to be modified. | 22:03 |
| tomreyn | you should be concerned about your dependence on an unsupported web application for server management | 22:04 |
| tomreyn | other than that, i would not know, i dont use it | 22:04 |
| qwebirc41437 | I would be more concerned (if I had more time) | 22:05 |
| mindofmateo | If I install the Nvidia drivers, will that remove the need to add `nomodeset` in GRUB when I start my computer? | 22:05 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc41437: so, does everything else work as it should? | 22:06 |
| qwebirc41437 | thank you very much tomreyn - huge help. rebooting now to see if it holds | 22:06 |
| tomreyn | welcome, good luck. | 22:07 |
| qwebirc41437 | hanging on boot at a startjob is running for md127-device (over 60 sec now) | 22:07 |
| qwebirc41437 | dependency failed for /mnt/md0 and local file systems | 22:08 |
| tomreyn | chances are it's now md0 again | 22:08 |
| qwebirc41437 | booted into emergency mode | 22:08 |
| dserodio | http://bit.ly/minimal-ubuntu says the latest Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Docker image should be 29MB, but I'm getting a 83.5MB image. Does anyone know why? | 22:08 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc41437: so mdadm --scan again, but sdont assemble, yet | 22:10 |
| qwebirc41437 | local-fs.target has failed. same for mnt-md0.mount | 22:11 |
| qwebirc41437 | why would local fs fail? | 22:11 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc41437: because the /mnt/md0 file system is missing, i assume | 22:11 |
| qwebirc41437 | md0 is 4 hdd in raid5 - local fs is separate ssd | 22:13 |
| qwebirc41437 | not sure why the raid would cause the local to fail | 22:13 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc41437: 'local fs' means local 'file system(s)', as opposed to remote / network file systems. there will be several. | 22:13 |
| qwebirc41437 | ahh | 22:14 |
| mindofmateo | If I have Secure Boot enabled, when am I supposed to enter the SB password on boot? I didn't see a prompt anywhere, other than the MOK Managment blue screen. | 22:15 |
| tomreyn | dserodio: i think there is only commercial support available for ubuntu cloud images, or from your cloud provider. maybe you can also get help in also in #ubuntu-server | 22:17 |
| tomreyn | mindofmateo: i think you'd only ever enter this password in the uefi configuration interface, where it is then used to set or remove it. | 22:21 |
| Jesuwope | hey how do i make my ident stable and not have the tilte character. i know about an ident daemon but i tried some and it still didn't work. any help? | 22:22 |
| tomreyn | mindofmateo: this is not the equivalend of a boot / bios password. | 22:22 |
| tomreyn | * equivalent | 22:22 |
| lequestion | how do I get authorization to send messages to ##linux? :D | 22:23 |
| tomreyn | Jesuwope: i think it's rather uncommon to run an identd nowadays, but you can probably get help with this in #freenode | 22:23 |
| Jesuwope | k thanks | 22:23 |
| tomreyn | lequestion: irc help may be available in #freenode | 22:25 |
| mindofmateo | tomreyn: I mean in response to this message - https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0Zn79mG5k9k/V5WQze01FtI/AAAAAAAAX5E/H_r_W-sH588dTSN840dKI-sxsfCXOcQJwCKgB/s1600/DisableSecureBoot.png | 22:25 |
| mindofmateo | I mean, that wasn't EXACTLY the message I got, but close. It wasn't asking me to disable UEFI/SB, but to set the password. | 22:26 |
| gambl0re | does xubuntu have ubuntu software centre? | 22:28 |
| tomreyn | mindofmateo: confusingly, as the screen you point to discusses, setting a password is the first step in disabling secureboot | 22:29 |
| tomreyn | mindofmateo: the second step would probably have been the mok management screen. | 22:29 |
| tomreyn | !secureboot | 22:30 |
| tomreyn | please read up on secureboot here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UEFI/SecureBoot | 22:30 |
| tomreyn | most people just disable it, there are good reasons to do so. others enable it, there are some reasons to do so, too. | 22:31 |
| mindofmateo | I'll read that page. I thought the installer said specifically you MUST use Secure Boot with third party drivers in order for them to work. | 22:31 |
| tomreyn | mindofmateo: it's the opposite. proprietary kernel modules will not work with secureboot, unless they got signed by someone else than canonical / the ubuntu developers. but they usualy dont. | 22:32 |
| tomreyn | an example for such modules would be nvidias' proprietary graphics drivers | 22:33 |
| tomreyn | they cant be loaded when secureboot is enabled | 22:34 |
| mindofmateo | I'm so confused. When I was installing the nvidia drivers, a similar styled TUI interface with similar language asked me to set a secureboot password, eg Enter PW, Renter PW to confirm. | 22:34 |
| clay | Hi, was wondering if someone could give me insight. can't seem to figure out how to google this.... I have a server running on an internal network. i need to be able to access it outside the network, but i can't punch a hole in the firewall. so I'm looking for something that keeps some type of connection open (like teamviewer/logmein), but for ubuntu server, with no GUI. any keywords/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! :D | 22:34 |
| mindofmateo | (I just realized TUI interface is redundant... oops) | 22:35 |
| tomreyn | mindofmateo: the purpose was probably the same (though i dont know this TUI): to set an initial secureboot passphrase, to then be able to disable secureboot restrictions in the firmware provided user interface before next boot. | 22:36 |
| tomreyn | clay: instead of punching a hoole into the firewall, could you do port forwarding there? | 22:39 |
| tomreyn | well you'd still need to do both, but maybe the router (?) interface allows one but not the other | 22:39 |
| tomreyn | clay: put differently: are you not entitled to make configuration changes to the router / firewall? | 22:40 |
| clay | @tomreyn: I basically don't want to bother the net admin team with this short term project. Right now, I'm checking out hamachi to see if i could use that | 22:40 |
| clay | no, not entitled at all | 22:40 |
| tomreyn | clay: if this is a commercial environment, they may very well frown at you if they find out you worked around this restriction | 22:41 |
| clay | totally agreed. | 22:41 |
| tomreyn | clay: what you are looking for is a reverse shell | 22:41 |
| clay | ah ok. i'll start reading about that. appreciate the tip! | 22:42 |
| tomreyn | clay: but you might loose your job over this, so ... take care. better talk to them first. | 22:42 |
| mesange29_ | hi all: Is synaptic still capable to use CDROM as repos? i have a systematic mount error | 22:45 |
| mal17 | This channel has been hacked by Australia's #1 hacker Simon 'eVestigator' Smith https://evestigatorsucks.com/ | 22:46 |
| platz | anyone know a good way to determine the "release date" of a package? | 22:48 |
| mesange29_ | (mate 18.04 i386) E: Failed to mount the cdrom. | 22:48 |
| mesange29_ | plaz: inside the BEDIAN/control | 22:49 |
| mesange29_ | sorry DEBIAN! | 22:50 |
| johtso | This channel has been hacked by Australia's #1 hacker Simon 'eVestigator' Smith https://evestigatorsucks.com/ | 22:50 |
| mesange29_ | open the deb package with an archiver | 22:50 |
| mesange29_ | platz: sorry i am wrong | 22:57 |
| platz | mesange29_: for example, apt-cache pandoc shows much info, but not a date | 22:58 |
| nacc | platz: release date relative to what? | 23:00 |
| nacc | platz: the publishing history is probalby most what you want, which is available for every source package on launchpad | 23:00 |
| nacc | platz: ask a more specific question, though, i think; you might be misapprehending what a release is :) | 23:01 |
| platz | i guess the date that it would've become available on the next update & upgrade | 23:01 |
| nacc | platz: well, that also depends on your mirror | 23:01 |
| nacc | platz: the only 'fixed' date is publication to the main archive, I'd say; then it's propagation times | 23:02 |
| platz | hrmm, i guess launchpad is probably what i want | 23:02 |
| nacc | platz: your more specific question was still pretty vague, fwiw | 23:02 |
| nacc | platz: why are you asking? that might be the most concrete example to give | 23:03 |
| tomreyn | mesange29_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptCdrom | 23:04 |
| platz | say I have a package installed e.g. pandoc. I want to know if it hasn't been updated in a long time, or if i have a more "recent" package | 23:04 |
| platz | the version number doesn't tell me this information | 23:04 |
| nacc | platz: read the changelog? | 23:04 |
| nacc | platz: sorry, now it makes less sense, not more! | 23:04 |
| nacc | platz: what you have on your system is ... what you have; how can you have something more recent than what you have? | 23:04 |
| tomreyn | mesange29_: i dont know why it doesn't work with synaptic for you (i also did not know it could do this at all), but this CLI approach should work. | 23:05 |
| platz | so there is no concept of a publication date | 23:05 |
| nacc | platz: there is, but i don't understand what that would have to do with your exmaple | 23:06 |
| nacc | platz: are you wanting to see what apt *would* do if you did an update/upgrade? | 23:06 |
| qwebirc41437 | tomreyn: so any other ideas for my md0 raid issues? | 23:07 |
| platz | no, just when the package was last published, and as an extra bonus the publication history | 23:07 |
| nacc | platz: keep in mind, most packages get no updates once a release occurs | 23:07 |
| nacc | platz: only bugfixes and security fixes | 23:07 |
| platz | to judge if the behavior could be much different that it was before | 23:07 |
| nacc | platz: ok, that's all on launchpad | 23:07 |
| tomreyn | <tomreyn> qwebirc41437: so mdadm --scan again, but sdont assemble, yet | 23:07 |
| platz | i'll look there thanks | 23:07 |
| nacc | platz: i don't think you undertand how ubuntu packages work :) | 23:07 |
| nacc | platz: generally, behavior doesn't change within a release | 23:07 |
| nacc | platz: and for the actual changes, you want the changelog | 23:08 |
| platz | i'll look at the changelog then | 23:08 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc41437: then assempble it manually as --name=1 | 23:08 |
| nacc | platz: if you want to know what changed, you wnat the changelog; if you want to when the developer made the change, you want the chagnelog; if you want to know when the package at a given version was available in the archive, you want the publication history | 23:08 |
| platz | makes sense | 23:09 |
| nacc | platz: none of those things seem to be what you want, which is why i think the question is malformed/misinformed | 23:09 |
| qwebirc41437 | mdadm: --scan does not set the mode, and so cannot be the first option. | 23:09 |
| platz | just would've been nice to see the publication history in the apt tool somehow | 23:09 |
| platz | even if it doesn't tell me the changelog | 23:09 |

| tomreyn | qwebirc41437: mdadm --examine --scan. then assemble with --name=1 , then verify the device node it got, and make sure /etc/mdadm.conf and /etc/fstab match it. then run update-initramfs -k all -c | 23:11 |

| qwebirc41437 | tomreyn: is the 1 in name=1 arbitrary? | 23:12 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc41437: the idea there is to make the device node /dev/md1 or /dev/md/1 | 23:13 |

| qwebirc41437 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Cdcy9ScPCn/ | 23:32 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc41437: what is empty? | 23:32 |
| qwebirc41437 | tomreyn: disregard that | 23:32 |
| qwebirc41437 | tomreyn: md0 | 23:33 |
| mesange29_ | tomreyin: Thanks The cli worked. synaptic add cdrom menu doesn't works but using the menu param->depot other software then add a volume works fine. Need modify the deb line in 'sources.list' to add [trusted=yes] to pass the apt-get update | 23:33 |
| qwebirc41437 | tomreyn: mdadm.conf not updated | 23:33 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc41437: cp /usr/share/doc/mdadm/examples/mdadm.conf-example /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf; mdadm --detail --scan >> /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf | 23:33 |
| tomreyn | mesange29_: please file a bug report against synaptic so this can be fixed ioen a terminal and run: ubuntu-bug synaptic | 23:34 |
| qwebirc41437 | tomreyn: permission denied? weird | 23:35 |
| qwebirc41437 | tomreyn: does raid need to be stopped? | 23:35 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc41437: no. are you useding sudo to run these cokmmands, or are you working as root? | 23:36 |
| qwebirc41437 | sudo | 23:36 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc41437: run this now: sudo cp /usr/share/doc/mdadm/examples/mdadm.conf-example /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf; mdadm --detail --scan | tee -a /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf >/dev/null | 23:37 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc41437: run this now: sudo cp /usr/share/doc/mdadm/examples/mdadm.conf-example /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf; mdadm --detail --scan | sudo tee -a /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf >/dev/null | 23:37 |
| tomreyn | ^ typo | 23:37 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc41437: if you ran the incorrect variant, just run the entire line again | 23:37 |
| qwebirc41437 | tomreyn: missing sudo before mdadm, but done | 23:38 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc41437: right :) | 23:38 |
| qwebirc41437 | tomreyn mdadm.conf is updated | 23:38 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc41437: can i see it? | 23:38 |
| qwebirc41437 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/H2z3dQW956/ | 23:39 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc41437: check fstab, too, or post it as well | 23:39 |
| qwebirc41437 | tomreyn: ugly but updated | 23:39 |
| qwebirc41437 | tomreyn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Kn25DkfK5R/ | 23:39 |
| qwebirc41437 | updated also | 23:40 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc41437: hmm it doesn't seem like copying the mdadm.conf example worked out | 23:40 |
| qwebirc41437 | tomreyn: last line? | 23:40 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc41437: this is "copying the mdadm.conf example": sudo cp /usr/share/doc/mdadm/examples/mdadm.conf-example /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf | 23:41 |
| mindofmateo13 | I think my system is working at this point (and if I haven't expressed any gratitude yet, thank you guys for your patience and support), except when I reboot, if I don't add `nomodeset` in GRUB, it just freezes when I log on. If I add it, everything spins right up just fine. I installed the graphics drivers, I don't know why it freezes. | 23:43 |
| qwebirc41437 | tomreyn: lot of junk in there, but it seemed to update the last line with the ARRAY | 23:43 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc41437: what did you do now? | 23:44 |
| qwebirc41437 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/nzbXtQB9Vv/ | 23:44 |
| qwebirc41437 | tomreyn: carriage return | 23:44 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc41437: so you placed the 'ARRAY' line there manually? good. | 23:45 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc41437: now for fstab, it does not contain anything about mounting md0, or does it? | 23:46 |
| qwebirc41437 | tomreyn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/ScBmr66SQH/ | 23:46 |
| qwebirc41437 | tomreyn: no md0, but the uuid is there | 23:47 |
| tomreyn | which one is it then? | 23:47 |
| qwebirc41437 | tomreyn: disregard that isn't the md0 uuid | 23:47 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc41437: please run "blkid" | 23:48 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc41437: please run: blkid | pastebinit | 23:48 |
| qwebirc41437 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/kkQfmxDnn9/ | 23:48 |
| tomreyn | maybe also lsblk for your own convenience | 23:48 |
| granttrec | I am in a chroot with ubuntu-standard installed, but I cannot find the packages mksh, any idead what could be preventing that? | 23:48 |
| qwebirc41437 | tomreyn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Fkb4JcbtFv/ | 23:50 |
| qwebirc41437 | tomreyn: so fstab isn't updated | 23:50 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc41437: echo 'UUID=1e6cd8fe-0c6e-4a60-b044-daedf4d89d2f /mnt/md0 ext4 defaults 0 0' | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab >/dev/null | 23:50 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc41437: you should probaböy also change the trailing 0 in the first line to 1 | 23:51 |
| tomreyn | unless you do fsck on the root file system by other means | 23:52 |
| qwebirc41437 | tomreyn: ? which trailing 0? | 23:52 |
| granttrec | simple fix for me as I did not have other repostories enabled | 23:53 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc41437: in line 1 of /etc/fstab, the last character should say "1" , not "0" | 23:53 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc41437: please post fstab again when you're done | 23:54 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc41437: you're not using /dev/sdf1 on this system, right? | 23:55 |
| qwebirc41437 | tomreyn: done, any idea why would the root fs have been switched to 0? | 23:56 |
| qwebirc41437 | tomreyn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/RsHnGZWcNN/ | 23:56 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc41437: you mean that last character in line 1? | 23:56 |
| qwebirc41437 | tomreyn: yes. and no idea what sdf1 would be | 23:57 |
| qwebirc41437 | tomreyn: nevermind sdf1 is usb with 18.04.1 liveserver | 23:57 |
| granttrec | does anyone know how the default sources list for ubuntu is made? what provides it? | 23:58 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc41437: okay. so this is a fresh ubuntu 18.04.1 server installation? | 23:58 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc41437: sorry if you told me before... | 23:58 |
| tomreyn | granttrec: i think the installer just writes it there based on the choices you make | 23:59 |
