[00:50] This blog is essentially an ad for the Handshake ICO scam with a one-line "denial" of involvement mixed in there. It's obviously very unethical of Christel to not mention her own involvement in the scam which the blog post promotes. [00:50] Consider Andrew Lee's involvement, Andrew Lee is Christel's boss at London Trust Media and he also controls the majority of freenode voting rights. Andrew Lee also heads the handshake ICO scam. Coincidence? [00:51] BenLubar: this is the grub menu. it displays before the kernel is loaded, so kernel options wont help there. [00:52] tomreyn: is that the "set timeout=30" line in grub.cfg? [00:54] BenLubar: looks like it [00:56] thanjs [00:56] for post-installation boots. the logic for timeouts is in /etc/grub.d/00_header while the timeouts themselves are defined in /etc/deefault/grub === Kobazz is now known as Kobaz === RaptorJesus is now known as Spaghettifetti [01:37] p [01:38] there is someone can help me to find exactly what the hash of my own password in /etc/shadow file? [01:38] Guest52012: huh? [01:39] Guest52012: you're not going to decode that into a password if that's what you're asking [01:39] Do you have a reasonable idea of what the password is? [01:40] hi guys, I have an issue with resolv.conf. I am connecting to a vpn which adds its own nameservres and searchspaces. However i have two suffixes server1.company.com and server2.company.com. I can reach PC.server1.company.com by pinging PC, but the resolution fails for the server2.company.com.. If I try to reach a PC on server2.company.com it just doesn't return a result [01:42] leftyfb, burzos , I explain my problem, I don't know how my computer REFUSE my password (I can't use sudo command), so I want to try to decode the hash (probably is in SHA512) but if I read the shadow file I have a long string and I do not understand what is the portion of the hash [01:43] Guest52012: you're not going to decode it. [01:43] The DNS resolution fails for server2.company.com? [01:44] yes [01:44] Guest52012: boot into recovery mode and use "passwd " to reset your password [01:44] hi all. Does anyone know whether there is a plan to push thunderbird 60 to the repos? Or will that not occur until the 18.10 release? [01:44] [by repos, I mean 16.04 and 18.04 at this stage] [01:45] @burzos not quite. so PC2.server2.company.com is reachable. But PC2 should be sufficient because I've added server2.company.com to the search domains. However that doesn't work [01:45] !latest | edenist [01:45] edenist: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. [01:45] Is the authoritative DNS server for company.com configured correctly? ie, it has an A or CNAME for server2.? [01:46] Guest52012: https://itsfoss.com/how-to-hack-ubuntu-password/ [01:46] Ok, I see what you mean, sorry. [01:48] @burzos I'm not the most experienced with these things. Technically I can just use the full path, but I would like to understand why it doesn't work and if possible how to fix it. [01:48] kaddi: this is IRC, not slack. @nick doesn't work here [01:49] it's been too long. What do you use to highlight someone. just the name? [01:50] kaddi, yep just the name [01:50] kaddi: type the name or partial name and hit tab [01:50] thanks.. Can't believe I forgot that..I've used IRC for over 10 years (and then not for 2 years >.>) [01:51] Hi. I am using ubuntu 18.4 and I moved my ssd to a new box, where I currently have no means to connect a display. The problem is, the network interface is probably named something else than eth0. Is there a command that I can type blind (next problem, I don't know if english or german keyb layout) that runs dhcp on all network interfaces, so I can ssh into it? [01:53] leftyfb: thanks for the reply. I was aware of the policy but I do know there are sometimes exceptions [firefox, for example] due to it being a potentially high-profile target. TB60 is a bit of a double edged sword though. As the list of fixes is enourmous so too are the other changes which will break compat with existing installations. I guess I will plan either way and watch this space [01:54] cHawk: mount the drive in your other pc, write a script that runs something like "ls /sys/class/net > /home//ifaces.txt" and call the script in /etc/rc.local. Boot the SSD once, shut it down and remount. You'll have all the interfaces written to /home//ifaces.txt. Use that to edit /etc/network/interfaces and set them up as dhcp. Mind you, any interfaces that are down/not connected will take about 5 minutes to time out === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash [01:55] leftyfb, thanks! [01:56] cHawk: you could get clever and just have thw script read those ifaces and then write out the interfaces file and start up with interfaces and then ssh. It would be a fun challenge, but likely quicker to just follow my previous advice [01:58] leftyfb, is dhcpcd installed per default? [01:58] After an update, I don't have sound on my internal sound card anymore. Driver seems present, pulseaudio displays the device, I can route sound to it, but nothing coming from the speakers. [01:58] dmesg reports a previously unseen error: snd_hda_intel 0000:00:1f.3: azx_get_response timeout, switching to polling mode: last cmd=0x202f2d00 [01:59] So did the kernel update break snd_hda_intel ?

[02:24] ...or I could change it globally for my entire desktop, that would work too [02:30] AlexMax: ~/.xsessionrc, export PATH=$PATH:newpath [02:31] AlexMax: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables [02:31] Yeah I found that [02:31] It appears that the environment is currently coming from .profile [02:32] is there a way to get displaymanager to look at my .zshrc instead? I use zsh [02:33] No. [02:33] If you set it in ~/.xsessionrc, it'll trickle down to zsh's environment as well, not that that matters so much. [02:33] The point you want is, the environment to be there for X. [02:39] hi i need help [02:39] i wanto to enter to a channel, and i cant [02:39] Ask [02:40] That doesn't sound like an Ubuntu support question. [02:40] :Cannot join channel (+r) - you need to be identified with services [02:40] For IRC help, there is #freenode [02:40] ah no, it is not an ubuntu question [02:40] but i dont know where i can to do it [02:41] ok, thanks [02:48] Hey all, need some hit n run help, just installed ubuntu latest, my scren it not stretching to the edge of my tv, any ideas? im using nvidia gtx 650ti [02:49] hi, so I just effed up tremendously [02:50] Question: Is 18.04 optimised for SSD? [02:50] I was here 20min ago to ask about dns not quite working. I've disabled/reenabled avahi-daemon to see if disabling would let resolv.conf work correctly. Only now I no longer can resolve any DNS request. [02:50] Is there a 'simple' way for me to reinitalize avahi so that i can at least get back online? === Belial` is now known as Belial [02:50] kaddi: you shouldn't be messing with resolv.conf yourself. [02:51] rfleming: I wasn't the resolv.conf was populated correctly, but ubuntu wasn't handling it correctly. I was hoping that killing avahi would let me use the auto-populated resolv.conf [02:51] kaddi, i think you mentioned making changes to /etc/resolv.conf; if certain services are restarted (or on reboot) that file is re-created.. so anything in that file is gone (why it has the wanring) [02:52] kaddi: first question. What Ubuntu are you using? [02:52] guiverc: right now the resolv.conf (on boot) only has the nameserver: 127.0.1.1 line in it, which is what it showed before as well [02:52] rfleming: 18.04 with kde interface in case that matters [02:53] kaddi: OK, so that means netplan is configured to be managed by Network Manager? [02:53] kaddi, sorry, I probably remembered wrong (or mixed two different people..) - my bad [02:53] if nayone has any ideas how i can stretch my screen so i get edge to edge would be nice [02:53] rfleming: yes, it says autocreated by network manager at the top of resolv.conf [02:53] kaddi: but resolv.conf isn't your issue [02:53] kaddi: what's the original issue? [02:54] kaddi: symptoms, etc. [02:54] rfleming: right now the issue is that all DNS requests time out. So I can't get online. I can ping 8.8.8.8 but I can't get google.com resolved [02:55] kaddi: I'm going to assume if you add nameserver 8.8.8.8 to resolv.conf, it works? [02:55] rfleming: beforehand I was trying to get ubuntu to recognize that I have two domains in the search (when I connect per VPN) and to actually try the second domain when the first one doesn't resolve. But I don't particularly care about that until I can get back online ;) [02:55] rfleming: ok.. I'm stupid. i haven't tried that yet. Lemme reboot and see [02:55] no need to reboot [02:56] also, since you mentioned two domains... did you do something to /etc/hosts? [02:58] kaddi: also, can you run `mncli device show | pastebinit`? [02:58] can anyone help with stretching my display? [02:58] !pastebinit | kaddi [02:58] kaddi: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit [02:59] khanm78: what exactly do you mean... [03:00] I have just installed ubuntu, my screen is 3" in on all sides, like a c64 load screen, image is perfect resalution is max but it just not reaching the outer edges of the screen [03:01] im using a gtx 650TI, [03:01] khanm78: probably using under or over scanning. [03:01] so if you install a different display manager, does the install change the symbolic link in /etc/systemd/display-manager.service which, on my system right now, points to /lib/systemd/system/gdm.service to the service unit file of the newly installed display manager? [03:01] its like i need to scale the screen size but not the resalution [03:01] so you have the image in the center of your screen, but it doesn't make it's way across the entire screen? [03:02] i started with the defualt, then tried the nvidia prop and its alt prop but same issue [03:02] rfleming i can't edit resolv.conf it automatically reverts to nameserver 127.0.1.1 [03:02] https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=145204 === kaddii is now known as kaddiii [03:02] khanm78: ^ [03:02] khanm78: try messing with xrandr and see if it helps. [03:03] if it does, then you'll know what's going on. [03:03] im a noob, what and how? [03:03] kaddiii: that's normal on reboot [03:03] as in how do i get to or open xrandr [03:03] kaddiii: you set a static IP address? [03:03] rfleming no [03:04] khanm78: oh... it's... a command line utility for configuring display outputs. [03:04] kk, guess i have some reading to do :) [03:04] khanm78: it's useful for diagnosing display oddities, but a bit hard to use if you're a novice. [03:04] rfleming it didn't change back on reboot. It changed a second after I saved it. I couldn't resolve anything. (I'm talking from the windows install I have on this machien, as I can't connect to anything on the linux install) [03:05] kaddiii: can you run `cat /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml | pastebinit`? [03:05] not scared to learn, just need some directions if u know what i mean [03:05] pastebinit will likely not work, but I'll try :) Thanks a lot for the help [03:05] kaddiii: ok [03:05] what you want to do is this... [03:06] khanm78: first just run xrandr to see what outputs are connected. [03:06] ok mile stone done, my hdmi audio from gfx working, :) [03:07] kaddiii: I think you've made some changes to Network Manager, and somehow you have a bad DNS setting somewhere [03:07] kaddiii: You'll need to reset all of your network manager settings and see what happens [03:07] looking at it now. [03:07] rfleming what would be the best way to do it. Just move /etc/networkmanager to a backup and restart the service? [03:08] kaddiii: that I'm not sure of [03:08] hehe ok. I'll start by running the command you gave me and will look at the stuff in /etc/networkmanager to see if something jumps to the eye [03:09] ok [03:09] khanm78: what's the output device? a TV? [03:09] kaddiii: what you can do is run `nmcli device show` to see what your settings are for DNS and stuff [03:09] kaddiii: then backtrack it somehow [03:09] im running 1920x1080@60H [03:09] khanm78: no, what's it outputting TO? [03:09] yes tv, normaly on windows i would use nvidia to stretch the image till it fits [03:10] Ah... [03:10] We have a case of over/under scanning then. [03:10] unfortunatly on here with nvidia no options that i see [03:10] you're currnelty using the proprietary drivers? [03:10] ohh, yes 55" panasonic lcd [03:10] tv [03:11] via hdmi from gfx card. [03:11] i'd say try running nvidia-settings if you haven't already used that. [03:11] ahh, with my samsung, I had to change the picture stretch mode [03:11] (on the TV itself) [03:11] 2 min ill convert back to nvidia drivers too [03:11] tomreyn, howdy [03:11] You're using nouveau right now? [03:13] yes the original defualt, i tried the nvidias 390 and 340 but same issue so changed back to x-org for help. [03:13] setting nvidia 390 propietary tested as driver. [03:13] khanm78: are the edges cut off, or you have a black border? [03:14] rfleming: I don't have a 01-netcfg.yaml file in my netplan folder. only 01-network-manager-all.yaml [03:14] kaddi: yeah, I realized that... that's if you have ubuntu server [03:14] I have a black boarder around the screen [03:14] kaddi: what was the result of nmcli device show? [03:15] full image just a 3" boarder all side [03:15] I recall having this issue when I was using fglrx in the past. It was using doing something similar because it assumed HDMI went to a TV, which it didn't. [03:15] rfleming: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/ddYdTbB3q8/ [03:15] I had to configure it to do regular output. [03:15] i wouldnt mind in my case hdmi does go to a tv. [03:15] But, it could be the TV or the video output that's the problem. [03:16] it depends who is doing this process. [03:16] rfleming: I've added a second nameserver instead of renaming the 127.0.1.1 and that seems to hold for now. so i'm on the linux machien right now and online [03:16] anyway i need to go. [03:16] kaddi: your first dns server is 172.20.0.1 [03:16] is that server up and running as DNS? [03:17] kaddi: OOOOOOoooooOOOooooooooh! O.o [03:17] I have no idea. Might be from the hotel network, but I'd be surprised [03:17] your route has an auto-assigned IP address [03:17] kaddi: you try to do static routing? [03:18] rfleming: not consciously. I'm not even sure what haven an auto-assigned IP route means [03:18] I do use VPNs, is that something that would happen there? [03:18] i need an advanced nvidiax settings , wander if its an add on [03:18] kaddi: wireless yes? [03:19] rfleming: yes [03:19] one sec [03:21] kaddi: delete/forget the wifi connection and re-connect [03:21] ok, will try [03:21] kaddi: I think [03:22] kaddi: I think what's happened, is you do not have Routes set to automatic on your wireless [03:22] kaddi: give me a second to doublecheck something [03:22] or not [03:23] rfleming: deleting/reconnecting removed the nameserver 8.8.8.8 line from the resolv.conf and caused the dns to not resolve again [03:23] test mesage [03:23] hope this works, downloaded driver form nvidia website [03:24] rfleming: I can ping 172.20.0.1, so there's a chance that it's a working dns server [03:24] kaddi: did you forget Hyatt_Wifi? [03:24] kaddi: it's routing [03:25] you can't get out of your network [03:25] rfleming: I disconnected, then deleted the connection and reconnected. When I reconnected it said "never used before" [03:27] kaddi: OK, go to the settings of your connection for Hyatt_Wifi... then go to IPv4 and make sure 'Automatic' is turned on for Routes. Do the same for IPv6. For that matter, make sure everything is set to Automatic in the IPv4/IPv6 tabs [03:27] kaddi: under Details, you should see a 'Default Route' line [03:27] kaddi: that should (most likely) be that 172.20.0.1 address [03:28] how do i run a .run file? [03:28] kaddi: be aware though, I use GNOME, so the screens might be different [03:28] ok.. rfleming I see a button "routes" when I click on that there's nothing in there. But I have the option to check "ignore automatic routes" [03:29] khanm78: chmod +x yourfile.run, then ./yourfile.run [03:29] should I check that? [03:29] hold a sec [03:29] anyone in here using KDE? [03:29] chmod? [03:30] khanm78: yeah, changes the mode of the file to executable. [03:30] khanm78: file extensions have no meaning in Linux [03:30] khanm78: you can run a binary file called myfile.txt if the executable bit is set. [03:31] allow exicuting file as a program? [03:31] kaddi: you have access to a Kubuntu live cd? [03:33] rfleming: no, unfortunately [03:33] why? [03:33] was going to suggest you check the settings there [03:33] ok so on the file properties, i have ticked the allow executing file as program, hope this is the chod you ment [03:33] kaddi: or at least verify that it isn't the hotel wifi [03:33] well the wifi was working fine before I stopped and restarted avahi and it's working fine on my phone [03:34] so I'm fairly sure it's something I did :s [03:34] I'm assuming you've restarted the computer? :) [03:34] yes, several times [03:35] does systemtl status avahi-daemon so everything OK? [03:36] systemctl [03:37] NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-390.77.run is what i want to run / instal [03:37] its located in my downloads folder. [03:37] trow me a bone lol [03:38] rfleming: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/yn9Dz8hcCv/ looks ok, but maybe the messages tell you something? [03:38] khanm78: Nvidia advises not to do that " Note that many Linux distributions provide their own packages of the NVIDIA Linux Graphics Driver in the distribution's native package management format. This may interact better with the rest of your distribution's framework, and you may want to use this rather than NVIDIA's official package." . [03:39] kaddi: and `ip route`? [03:39] damn i ask for a bone and u give me t-rex :D [03:40] khanm78: I just joined the channel, I may have missed some background here . What prompts you to install from OEM ? [03:40] test mesage [03:40] message [03:40] rfleming: following just happened. I connected to my VPN and deconnected again (VPN works like before, kinda fine) BUT now the resolve.conf says it's manage by systemd-resolved and the nameserver is 127.0.0.53 [03:40] whereas before it was managed by network-manager [03:40] ok [03:41] sounds good [03:41] bet it works now? [03:41] so could it be a question of telling ubuntu to use systemd instead of networkmanager [03:41] yeah, the interesting question is what happens on reboot :p [03:42] i have a a black boarder around my screen, in the past i would have stretched the image to fill the full screen. but now its not able to do it. [03:42] brb gonna test if it comes back up on reboot [03:43] i and others here have been trying but i am a noob so most stuff is beyond me. === capella|away is now known as capella [03:43] rfleming: it's working now. just rebooted and i get dns capabilities straight away :) [03:44] thanks for helping me! :) [03:44] khanm78: nvidia has reconfigured the installation lately, and pulls in a ton of additional packages. What release are you running ? [03:44] there was a static route somewhere... glad it's gone kaddi! === ledeni_ is now known as ledeni [03:45] i just downloadd this ubuntu tonight, and updates so new?? i think [03:45] rfleming: by any chance would you have a tip for my initial issue as well? When I connect to my vpn the resolv.conf changes (as it should) to nameserver1, nameserver2 and search sub1.server.com sub2.server.com. But I can only resolve sub1.server.com locally. If I try to raech a PC from the sub2.server.com without specifying the full apth it'll search endlessly [03:45] cant even tell u the version as i dont know where to look [03:45] kaddi: yeah, my vpn does the same [03:46] my boss said it's a 'known ubuntu issue' and there's a fix out there somewhere.. If I want it I have to find it >.> [03:46] khanm78: What release did you install ? And is it still your desire to try the proprietary driver ? [03:46] kaddi: use nm-connection-editor and then add in the appropriate 'Additional search domains' under IPv4 settings of your VPN client [03:47] khanm78: Terminal command ' lsb_release -a ' will tell ya the release . [03:47] bashing-om the version i have is: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS [03:48] sorry was confirming with console on version, i will take any version / driver that will give me a full screen view [03:48] khanm78: To install the propritary driver ( I am command line oriented ) run in terminal these commands ' sudo apt update ; sudo apt full-upgrade ; sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall ' . Reboot to see the effect . [03:49] hey, is this possiblet to add some sort of line to the terminal (default terminal 18.04), see those 'two separator', two line here below the irc chat and the editor; https://i.imgur.com/egQqYez.jpg [03:49] kaddi: it's not an Ubuntu problem... the fine people somewhere removed search domains from network manager [03:49] kaddi: it's only visible through nm-connection-editor [03:49] np on the updates, but just to let you know i already updated ubuntu via gui [03:50] rfleming: i actually can't see my vpn connection in the network manager. But the kde interface seems to offer the search domain option [03:50] now if they work.. no clue :p [03:51] they should [03:51] !tab | khanm78 this is a busy channel, and easy to miss replys .

[03:52] np, worth a ask, be back in a few [03:52] Linux doesn't deceive you on reboot by storing the OS in a hibernation file before rebooting [03:53] making boot times fast, as it's really just taking the OS from hiberfile and putting it back in RAM like the people who use gates and windows [03:54] got on that soapbox for nothing [03:54] :( [03:54] and that's why you should NEVER do things that way [03:54] Bashing-om give yourself a pat on the back, its sorted. [03:56] kaddi: vpn work? [03:56] now how about lan issues? [03:56] this is not a linux issu [03:57] rfleming: the VPN works, but it's adding two search domains from whcih only the first is actually used by systemd-resolved. It seems. I'm trying to figure out why (and as a bonus why it overwrites the local search domains of my current netowrk) [03:57] just lan in gen, i got new mobo, and for some reason it infrequintly drops connections. [03:57] khanm78: :) .. gold stars on the IRC status board . What about "LAN issues" ? [03:57] Bashing-om: sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall <--- when I man ubuntu-drivers there's no man page for it.. can you link me to information? [03:58] oo how do i gold star. [03:58] !cookie | khanm78 no more stars ... [03:58] khanm78 no more stars ...: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [03:58] khanm78: buy an LG product [03:58] rfleming: But the urgency is not really there with that issue. I can always reach the PCs from the second domain by typing the full path. It wuld just be nice to have it work as intended. :p [03:59] kaddi: you putting in first.domain.com,second.domain.com in the search domain? [03:59] has to be a comma separating them [03:59] my eathernet for some reason just decides to d/c, its not the router, it was the same on windows and on this ubuntu, [03:59] I'm having some trouble running a VM I created with virt-manager a while ago. I made /var/lib/libvirt/ a symlink to /btrfs_external/libvirt/ so that I could store the VM on my external drive. When I open virt-manager, no virtual machines are listed (but there is also no error message). Any ideas? "virsh list --all" doesn't list any virtual machines either. "sudo ls /var/lib/libvirt/images/" lists the [03:59] yes and systemd-resolve --status puts them both in two separate lines [03:59] images for my VM, but ls without sudo does not as it's "drwx--x--x 1 root root". Should I just give up on "finding" my old VM and just create a new one with the existing disk images? [04:00] kaddi: you may need to add DNS servers then for your vpn [04:00] like i said its not cause of ubuntu, and its a new rog mobo, never sen it b4 so just wanted to know if anyone knows anything about it. [04:01] this will teatch me for upgrading lol [04:01] rfleming: according to work I have the two DNS servers necessary for the separate search domains. It says DNS Server 10.2.2.7 and 10.2.2.8 and then below DNS Domain sub1.server.com and on the next line sub2.server.com [04:01] Bashing-om, you saved my sanity, u deserve more than i can give :) [04:02] illuminated: I do not recall where I learned .. and a quick look I do not find references either . [04:02] rfleming: maybe they're wrong. I unfortunately don't know enough to judge that. But I usually trust the IT guys, they tend to be well organised (and it's working on their linux machines which are debian based) [04:02] or red hat, I don't remember [04:03] khanm78: Hang in here with ubuntu .. and you will get the chance to pass it on down the line some day :) [04:03] Bashing-om: well, it may have something to do with installing ubuntu-drivers-common package. might be a binary provided by that package.

[04:04] i will b staying, its a bit diffrent from how i remember it, also who removed search from ubuntu software [04:04] looking for skype but cant search :( [04:05] try skypeforlinux, khanm78 [04:05] hey, is this possiblet to add some sort of line to the terminal (default terminal 18.04), see those 'two separator', two line here below the irc chat and the editor; https://i.imgur.com/egQqYez.jpg [04:06] I am attempting to apt-get install vlc on 16.04 ... there are many packages needed to install but during the process I get this error several times: [04:06] [04:06] E: Failed to fetch http://cz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/m/mesa/libgl1-mesa-glx_18.0.5-0ubuntu0~16.04.1_i386.deb 403 Forbidden [IP: 217.31.202.63 80] [04:06] cfhowlett tis what im looking for but cnt see it so looked for search function but its awol too [04:06] Vic2, sounds like that software mirror might be down for some reason. change your software sources as a workaround [04:07] Ok cfhowlett advice on how to do that please? or should I just try again later? [04:07] khanm78, https://www.skype.com/en/get-skype/ [04:07] I am one blind jackass lol [04:08] found the search in software and skype. peole this is why you should look well b4 you cry. [04:08] kaddi: you could always try to use dig and see which server resolves what [04:09] Vic2, system > software update > edit software settings download from >>> [04:09] kaddi: like dig @10.2.2.7 server.domain1.com server.domain2.com [04:09] see if you get an answer for both [04:09] then try with the other name server [04:10] [04:10] oh, you said FQDN works fine [04:11] cfhowlett, thank you. :) [04:11] happy2help!

[04:17] i meant 1200+ more [04:18] Ladies, Gents and all others, thank you for the help, it 05:15 here and i need sleep. i will be back later and thank you all for your time and patience. nn [04:19] why would one change display managers? [04:20] illuminated: the users choice [04:20] lotuspsychje: yeah, it's users choice, but what possible benefits can one dm have over another? I mean, it just presents a login screen. So, why? [04:21] illuminated: eyecandy, speed, personal like [04:22] illuminated: in some cases if one DM gives problems perhaps, install another [04:23] because its linux, and everything is custimizable [04:23] +1 retrowertz [04:29] I imagine that when you install a new DM it relinks /etc/systemd/system/desktop-manager to the DM's service unit file in /lib/systemd/system/newdm.service [04:29] sorry desktop-manager.service [04:33] Hi! Recently installed ubuntu server 18.04 and for some reason apt can't simply find stuff that should exists, openbox and i3 are some of the stuff which is weird when I look at https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=openbox&searchon=names and https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=default§ion=all&arch=any&keywords=i3&searchon=names [04:34] Anyone know why I cant install these anymore? The closest thing is apt saying openbox is referenced by another package and that's it [04:35] !info i3 | empoz_ [04:35] empoz_: i3 (source: i3-wm): metapackage (i3 window manager, screen locker, menu, statusbar).

[04:58] It's the one problem with Apple iDevices, is the lack of Linux support for them, in part because of Apple not supporting Linux at all, leaving the Linux community to try to reverse engineer it.

[04:59] If Ubuntu universe includes the Nvidia long lived branch 390.xx, why do updated releases of said branch not get shipped? The current version is 390.77 which fixes serious bugs with Vulkan and Kwin, but Ubuntu still has 390.48 [05:00] I shouldn't have to get the Phoronix PPA if all I want are updates to the long-lived branch [05:01] Kon-: See: https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa . [05:01] Read my last line please Bashing-om [05:02] I understand not shipping 396.xx and later short-term releases. But if it ships with 390.48, why not ship updates to the long-lived branch 390.xx?
