[00:00] but i assume thats fine since its just cache [00:00] think that its fine though? [00:01] 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. [00:02] tomreyn - 16.04.5 upgraded to 18.04.1 and the applet is incorrectly showing the wrong panel for "system-Settings" [00:03] 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! [00:04] rusty_: it does not seem to be part of the upstream (git-scm.org) source code releases. [00:05] tomreyn: https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/contrib/completion/git-prompt.sh ; not sure what it gives you, though [00:06] IntelCore: this upgrade path is not yet supported. [00:07] thanks nacc. looks like i missed it, it's in the upstream tarballs in /git-2.9.5/contrib/completion/ [00:08] rusty_: there's the bash.completion package, maybe similar functionality is in there. [00:08] bash-completion [00:08] IntelCore: maybe show a screen shot, too. [00:09] yo tomreyn - still not listed here: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-applet/+question/140344 [00:09] 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. [00:10] ehh what is this format this default backup app backups in? [00:10] yes I can shoot it [00:10] duplicity-full.20180802T185348Z.vol1.difftar.gz [00:10] how do i get the files if my OS fails? [00:10] IntelCore: what is not listed there? [00:10] this problem tom [00:11] Lemme post pics brb [00:12] Mibix: you use duplicity. [00:12] tomreyn i believe im using deja dup? [00:12] Mibix: this is a gzip compressed tar archive containing an incremental backup [00:13] yeah i guess you have to use deja dup to retrieve the files? [00:14] Mibix: deja-dup is a graphical frontend to duplicity [00:15] ahh [00:15] im testing a restore [00:15] see how it works [00:19] It's not Ryzen so I think I'll be fine with kernel 4.15 for now :) [00:20] jeez this is taking forever just to prepare the restore :p [00:20] I'm just very happy that it works Tom (y) [00:22] gott: then i'm happy, too ;) [00:23] Mibix: if you're looking for other backup software: restic, boxbackup are also fine. but i dont know whether there are GUIs for those. [00:28] 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 [00:32] ellyacht, well which one to get is really up to you but 18.04 seems be fine [00:33] ubuntu.com [00:33] ellyacht: here's some guidance on the flavors - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuFlavors [00:33] ... [00:34] tomreyn ? [00:34] IntelCore ! [00:35] this the applet info page https://i.imgur.com/r4Z7Z2D.png [00:35] https://i.imgur.com/QIjB53E.png [00:35] that the Settings panel [00:36] IntelCore: this doesn't look like ubuntu 18.04 to me. is it xubuntu maybe? [00:36] no 18.04.1 w. compiz [00:37] what? Flashback-Compiz [00:38] IntelCore: so unity? this is not supported on 18.04 here. [00:38] tomreyn - the small tv top right is a pull-down menu.. can log-off. souns, other things [00:39] no no unity [00:39] Gnome de flashback-compiz envoronment [00:40] that doesnt m not pointing to system settings. atter. the Applet itself is [00:40] er, the DE doesnt make it not point to right place [00:41] The Applet goes to get the 'about' panel, instead of 'settings' [00:42] tomreyn - you know settings is a panel in bionic. [00:42] 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. [00:43] OK, how to do that? appaport? [00:43] rather 'ubuntu-bug compiz' than apport [00:43] cas it def wrong panels [00:44] you sure that panel is for gnome 3? [00:44] 2010 applet [00:44] rather that applett [00:44] so most likely not [00:44] use the tweak-tool and look at gnome-shell-extension [00:44] kk4ewt - the bionic have system settincs where you find 'devices' [00:45] the xenial had a page of icons [00:45] 18.04 is using gnome3 now not untiy [00:46] no that is fine. the applet got nothing to do wid the de [00:46] in other words, the applet is ontop of any de used [00:47] the stuff under it is an info panel [00:47] 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= /d ntfs-3g uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,nls=utf8 [00:48] JoshuaD: i think it should be just 'ntfs' for the type [00:48] what IS your system? [00:49] Ubuntu 18.04 [00:49] does /d exist by the time it tries to moun tit? [00:49] kk4ewt - yea, i go, this applet might be in the gnome extensions. but.. It's not [00:49] i created an empty directory in /, so I believe so. / is mounted before /d in fstab [00:50] 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 [00:51] i like the applet, since the squirell distro.. two years.. no problems. [00:51] @tomreyn: that makes sense, let me try it now. Thanks [00:52] is -3g for gpt drives? [00:54] ah. i think i found my mistake. It looks like i forgot the -3g in fstab [00:54] `sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -o nls-utf8,umask=0222 /dev/sdb2 /d` works [00:54] gonna add the -3g and see if it was just my typo, brb [00:54] either ntfs or ntfs-3g should work [00:55] JoshuaD: so what you posted above is not actually what you have in fstab? [00:55] Yea, i had it saved to a text document for a flatten/reinstall, and I must have messed up the transcription to fstab somehow. [00:56] uses the FUSE file system interface, so it can run unmodified on many different operating systems. [00:56] so if you did not have vsfuse file system that might cause the hang [00:57] 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] (fmask exists for vfat) [00:58] 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] Yup. That was the mistake. Thanks for the help guys <3 [00:58] (fmask exists for vfat) [00:59] hmm [00:59] Rhythmbox is extremely slow, why is this? [00:59] 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 [01:00] (got out of advanced mode) [01:00] @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] "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" [01:01] tomreyn you cant just restore a few files in the gui it looks like [01:01] you have to restore all or nothing? [01:01] 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 [01:02] i would use -3g if you had it before. hard to say [01:03] Yea, that was the mistake I made. It wanted -3g and I had forgotten it. [01:04] Mibix: https://askubuntu.com/questions/181272/is-it-possible-to-restore-only-one-directory-with-the-backup-utility [01:05] Unable to init server: Broadway display type not supported <= what is this display? [01:06] 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] tomreyn i dont see that option but im using nemo not nautilus :/ [01:06] display.. the monitor? or, the DE of the system using xorg, gnome, lightdm? [01:07] it's not starting a display.. in any case [01:08] ahh i do see it in nautilus though [01:08] interesting [01:08] Mibix: hmm right, you'd need to use nautilus for this GUI integration to work, i guess [01:09] hanasaki1 ? like this? " Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: " [01:10] @tomreyn, thnx for the help, appreciate it [01:10] welcome, Josh [01:11] 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 [01:12] If X11Forwarding is not specified, the default is no on the Debian machines [01:13] 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] its deja vu isnt tied to the OS/drive somehow?

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. [01:17] Mibix: (there could be (much) newer duplicity + déja dup releases which drop support for old features, though) [01:17] similar.. if my local display that works is "DISPLAY=:1" what shold i set on the remot machine? [01:18] 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. [01:21] export DISPLAY=localhost:1 and xhost + fails.. this succeeds export DISPLAY=:1 [01:26] tedg ? [01:27] not sure why my dvd drive isn't working....it worked with kali and linux mint. [01:27] ahahah.. tedg wrote this indicator applet [01:27] he's irc.freenode [01:28] hmm. now to see if he's online [01:29] yes. he's away [01:30] IntelCore: lets do without the inner monologue [01:30] 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] oo. soz. Ted Gould? [01:31] IntelCore: please stop. As you've been told multiple times. This is a support channel. Please keep on topic or go to #ubuntu-offtopic [01:32] 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 [01:33] its my understanding they either put in a the bios or a hidden partition on the hard drive but im not sure [01:34] 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] 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 [01:37] 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] "sudo cat /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/MSDM" will return a key if it is there [01:38] 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. [01:39] 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 [01:40] 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] 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] they don't put anything on your pc. If anything, it's put there by the OEM during BIOS/firmware flashing. Not by Microsoft. [01:41] leftyfb: You are right it is an OEM feature, Windows merely seeks out the key during install [01:42] 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. [01:43] boa noite [01:43] 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 [01:44] will: can we help you with something? [01:44] pragmaticenigma: you can get the key right now from it? [01:44] yes [01:45] didn't know OEM's worked that way [01:45] https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/windows-secure-boot-key-creation-and-management-guidance [01:45] Interesting thing, I always just reinstalled with an OEM cd and never had a problem [01:45] that link is the documentation for it :-) [01:46] OEM isn't a requirement.. .I think the only requirement is the machine must be UEFI capable [01:46] OEM is a requirement for pre-windows 10 [01:46] non-OEM's will not store anything anywhere but online [01:47] anyway, off to bed. Rough day. Had a systemic reaction after getting my allergy shots. Boy that isn't pretty.

Could somebody help me fix a problem I have with Xubuntu 18.04.1? My touchpad does not seem to have an option to disable it while typing, xfce settings seem to be crap and even if i check it, it does not work. Xinput does not have this option, only palm detection is available, I don't know why, but on Xubuntu my touchpad is using synaptic drivers and on Ubuntu 18.04.1 (gnome) it uses libinput, is there a [08:14] possibility to switch from synaptics to libinput? [08:14] or maybe get disable while typing in any other way [08:17] anybody? [08:32] fath0m: have you tried using synclient to set options instead of any UI settings app? [08:35] olis: fath0m left before your response. The solution is to add /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-touchpad.conf with Section "InputClass", MatchIsTouchpad "yes", Option "DisableWhileTyping" "yes", EndSection (see 'man libinput' and 'man xorg') [08:39] 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. [08:44] Xorg uses libinput on Xubuntu too, but the XFCE control panel has no options to control the DisableWhileTyping function unfortunately [08:44] If it is using synaptic then I suspect the user selected that.

[10:47] got it, thanks === blade is now known as Guest7467 [10:49] alex27: could try to start graphical session from the safe mode, just to see the errors [10:49] > to see the errors <-- where can I look for them? [10:49] but if you've spent a day on it, you've probably tried [10:50] there are tons of info (busctl monitor gives ~2mb text file) [10:50] I easily could miss something [10:52] 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 [10:53] oh, I see. I know that couple years ago it was enought to run xstart, but what about now? [10:54] or, when you get your pink screen hang, you can try ctrl+alt+F1 and see if that still works [10:54] or F2 [10:54] F1 probly won't [10:55] 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 [10:56] 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 [10:57] nice [10:57] systems so complicated right now, that we have to know a bunch of different things just to be able to launch Xserver, lol [10:58] but if you have tty while graphical login hangs, you can get brighter with dmesg now [10:59] 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 [11:01] ok, going to try something. will be back in a few minutes (hopefully) [11:03] probably one could also use systemd start and stop this or that now - but who has really learned it? [11:06] has anyone else had issues installing acpid on 18.04? it seems that on first install it cannot connect to acpid.socket even if the acpid.socket is up and running. This breaks apt as part of the postinstall is starting the service :( [11:06] specifically, syslog/journald just say "acpid.service: Got no socket." [11:13] it seems like it does a daemon-reload of systemd which then says socket unit config has changed and socket is not function until restarted [11:14] * during install/purge [11:15] With our IRC ad service you can reach a global audience of entrepreneurs and fentanyl addicts with extraordinary engagement rates! https://williampitcock.com/ === fabricius1 is now known as fabricius [11:20] gsvtest: could be bug 1760391 [11:20] bug 1760391 in acpid (Ubuntu) "package acpid 1:2.0.28-1ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1760391 [11:22] 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] da /dev/sdb, so my question. I want to be sure I have grub installed in both the dedicated partitions (bootgrub). [11:23] syslog size is 585 MB and still increasing [11:23] qwebirc16410: what lines does it add? [11:25] wait a minutes it loading... [11:25] no luck guys. now I even can't to login to tty from my local machine, only via ssh from another one [11:26] it occures PCIe bus error [11:28] Filled my 20GB root partition after 2 days! Was trying to free more space but something has gone wrong and now system won't boot! [11:28] I put installation CD in to sort out the partitions and reinstall but every time it takes me to the try ubuntu option? [11:30] Bazman, from try ubuntu you can install and repartition stuff [11:31] qwebirc16410: maybe you can resolve this error, so that it stops flooding your log [11:31] gigirock: can you please run me through it [11:32] qwebirc16410: tail -f /var/log/syslog >> /tmp/syslog.log [11:32] qwebirc16410: run that for a moment then paste the /tmp/syslog.log to pastebin [11:32] Bazman, the 'try ubuntu' option gives you a complete ubuntu desktop where you can work smoothly [11:33] Bazman: in "try ubuntu" there should be an icon on the desktop that lets you install ubuntu [11:33] OK but I'm not 100% sure what I am doing with the partitioning (I tried doing it myself but clearly screwed things up) [11:34] leftyfb: OK one sec [11:34] Bazman, errors are learning moments [11:34] Bazman: If you've filled up your 20G root, then it sounds like you also have /home on the same partition. Are you trying to repartition so you have /home on another partition separate from root? [11:37] runescape is a trash program that depends on libcurl3 and that refuses to install because I have libcurl4 on my system like a sane person [11:37] but my friends play runescape so I need to get it running because social pressures [11:38] I grabbed libcurl3 from ubuntu packages but it conflicts with libcurl4 if I try to install it. So how should I proceed from here? [11:38] I use wine for runescape [11:39] grab the windows client [11:39] hoodedice: check playonlinux, wine [11:39] Bazman, are you talking from the ubuntu system ? === ia_ is now known as ivzn [11:39] leftyfb: that was the plan but I think I'm just gonna repartition with root and swap just seems to be easier [11:40] gigirock: yes ubuntu 18.04 [11:40] ...is there a solution that doesn't require a wrapper on a variant of the program that will probably be better supported? [11:40] (yes I am seeing the irony in what I am saying) [11:41] hoodedice: contact the runescape devs [11:41] gigirock/leftyfc: the icon install release I double click on it and nothing is happening?
