[00:07] oryois: what kind of history? [00:08] is it possible to remove problematic choices from the ubuntu installer? [00:08] .bash_history [00:09] i.e. a splash screen, the language, the keyboard layout [00:09] oryois: depends on how your storage is setup. maybe. if you edit it in place and it was never copied around, you may get lucky. [00:09] also timezones should be deleted from the installer, except for fews [00:10] tomreyn, i did rm .bash_history [00:10] so i can found it somewhere?

Had the installer crash, seemingly from a problem the install media, and now it's just booting to a blinking, unresponsive prompt. Any idea how to get back to installing? [00:26] Terexen: which OS did you prepare the installer on, and which software did you use to do so? [00:27] Downloaded and burned the iso on windows 10 with the built in tools. [00:28] Terexen: https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-how-to-verify-ubuntu discusses how to verify your downloaded image is unmodified (not a broken / interrupted download), but it requires ubuntu bash / wsl on windows [00:31] I downloaded a new iso on a different pc and verified it and burned a new disc. I'm more concerned with the laptop not booting from it. Even the one that crashed booted the first time. Now I'm not getting anything. [00:31] Terexen: so you've been using a dvd-rom or other optical media? maybe try using usb flash storage instead, it often works better. you can use the etcher.io software to write it - it verifies data was written correctly. [00:32] can you disable secure boot in the Idea Pad 330 bios? does it have a bios? [00:33] I can get to the bios so I can try that. [00:33] Terexen: while you're at it, check which version it is [00:33] Okay. brb [00:35] Terexen: and if you can, get the exact model name, there are a lot of different ideapad 330 ("Showing 96 result(s) for ideapad 330" on lenovo's product support page) [00:37] https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/de/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/ideapad-u-series-laptops/ideapad-u330-touch-notebook/solutions/HT505229 [00:41] Okay, Full number appears to be 330-15IKB and the label on the bottom says model name is 81DE. [00:42] I couldn't find the secure boot option, which I suspect is because I'm in legacy mode. I'm sure it was in there before. There is a "Intel Trust Verification" or something to that effect option in there where secure boot used to be. Should I try that? [00:43] https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/uu/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/300-series/330-15ikb-type-81de [00:44] latest bios is version 8TCN45WW from 18 Jul 2018 https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/uu/en/products/LAPTOPS-AND-NETBOOKS/300-SERIES/330-15IKB-TYPE-81DE/downloads/DS503004 [00:44] I have 8TCN44WW. [00:44] i sueggst you install it first, then try again [00:46] How? The computer boots to an unresponsive prompt. === Netscape is now known as solaris8 [00:49] Terexen: oh i assumed you might still have windows installed on it. without some form of windows OS this vendor does not make it easy for you [00:50] It had windows. But it appears to have been wrecked by the aborted install. [00:50] Terexen: we can try with what you have. i'm still looking for hardweare specifications, not easy. [00:52] To be clear, the live cd booted the first time, got to the desktop, started the installation process and then aborted, complaining of problems with the install media. [00:52] Terexen: okay then i suggest you download standard ubuntu 18.04.1 desktop, create an installer with it, install, then, once booted into ubuntu, you install the mate desktop and optionally purge the buntu default desktop [00:52] or do what you did previously, just use an usb key instead of optical media [00:53] I'll give those a try. [00:53] Terexen: also i wonldn't use legacy bios unless you can't get it to install otherwise [00:54] It wasn't working the other way but I can try again. [00:55] "intel trusted execution" (abbreviated TXT, maybe that's what you read in bios) should remain on the default. [01:02] Setting it back UEFI has it blinking "checking media" a few times and then complaining of missing default boot device. [01:02] while booting which version of what how? [01:03] the ubuntumate installer seems to only support legacy bios / csm booting [01:05] Ah. Well, I'll try it with vanilla ubuntu on a usb once that's finished downloading. [01:05] be sure to use ubuntu 18.04.1, not 18.04.0, too [01:08] True. Some people including myself had issues with GRUB when it installed via the Ubuntu installer. Both GRUB and the installer had a lot of updates between then and 18.04.1 [01:08] Like Terexen, I also had a UEFI board running in "legacy" MBR mode [01:15] is it possible to remove problematic choices from the ubuntu installer? [01:15] i.e. a splash screen, the language, the keyboard layout [01:15] also timezones should be deleted from the installer, except for fews [01:16] jher: why are those problematic? [01:17] because they are confusing people and they lose the will to finish the installation [01:19] jher: there is https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization [01:19] (i dont know whether this was tested for 18.04) [01:23] for some reason my chrome is losing network connectivity but my actual network seems to be fine. other devices on my network are fine, as well.

[02:57] filifunk2: did you maybe reconfigure the network connection on this system after you changed the router? [02:58] filifunk2: do you know what a static ip address is, and would you use such? [02:58] ahh this is where I confess maybe lol. I did some googling and ended up following some guy who said i should turn off ipv6. Does that count? [02:59] filifunk2: possibly. [02:59] i know what ip addresses are...or rather look like, I don't know what static ip address is [02:59] filifunk2: but this was as an attempt to recover from not having internet access from this computer, right? i.e. it was already not working before this. [03:00] 'this' -> disabling ipv6 [03:00] yes, I only ended up on that ipv6 thing because I was trying to get on the internet but could not...so was just doing whatever to see if it worked [03:00] filifunk2: the computer you are currently typing from, is it also connected to the new netgear router? [03:01] yes, wirelessly connected laptop [03:01] to the same new netgear router that I can't connect to on my main computer [03:03] filifunk2: ok. back to your main computer, what does this return? ip a s enp2s0 | grep 'inet ' [03:03] i get nothing [03:04] filifunk2: can you click on the networking icon on the top right and select "edit connections" [03:04] should be on the bottom of the menu [03:05] tomreyn: sorry, I forgot my ethernet wasnt connected. that previous command you sent me gave me something [03:06] ok tell me [03:07] 192.168.0.17/24 brd 192.168.0.255 scope global enp2s0 [03:07] inet6 fe80::1bc:b94a:2bfc:2206/64 scope link [03:07] and that's it [03:08] filifunk2: how about "ip r" [03:08] I just added my vpn file to /etc/openvpn/USWest.conf, set the value in /etc/default/openvpn to "USWest" and nothing is happening, normally I see a restart script of some kind that says.. taking vpn down, running vpn "name-here", and I'd see like a tun device show up in ifconfig [03:08] anyone know why it's not showing anything in ubuntu 18.04?

It is a USB peripheral. [03:12] oh nvm [03:12] is it Wacomm? [03:12] wacom [03:12] Wacom* [03:12] It wasn't an official Wacom. [03:12] PING 192.168.0.1. (192.168.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.

[03:14] tomreyn: ok, i'm there [03:14] Mathuin: well thats the official list, alot of other hardware willa lso work [03:15] filifunk2: how many records are there under 'Ethernet'? [03:15] That looks like a great official list for servers and the like, but not so much for peripherals. [03:15] 2 [03:15] filifunk2: can you tell me their names?

[03:16] hello [03:16] Mathuin: used ones are not that expensive [03:17] filifunk2: now close this window and disable networking. [03:17] Mathuin: or small ones [03:17] i am disabled [03:17] filifunk2: now enable again. [03:17] enabled [03:17] filifunk2: and now disable wireless if its enabled. [03:18] and tell me whether it was [03:18] hey [03:18] tadeadliest: can we help you? [03:18] tomreyn: I'm not sure what you mean there. Do you want me to delete the Wi-fi connections? [03:18] co6alt: the cheapest new one I saw was eighty bucks, but ebay does have them used for much cheaper. thanks for the pointer! [03:18] i don't know that i can disable wireless specifically [03:19] filifunk2: ok, ignore this. can you now 'ping -c3 1.1.1.1' [03:19] the preseed method from wiki doesn't work [03:19] Mathuin: those things last for decades, so if it in good enough shape, it would work well [03:19] filifunk2: does it say the time out thing again?

[03:19] the installer doesn't seem to load the file [03:20] "Network is unreachable" [03:20] Mathuin: I don't really use tablet in linux, I have windows for that, but there is a lot of modern software for painting [03:20] filifunk2: also if you do: ping -c3 192.168.0.1 [03:21] yes, also unreachable [03:22] Mathuin: Krita is an good example [03:22] filifunk2: please pull, then re-seat carefully the ethernet wire on both ends. try a different connected at the router if it has multiple [03:22] ok on it [03:22] *connectOR [03:23] Mathuin: definitely try out Krita [03:23] ok done [03:24] filifunk2: you'Re fast. can you do the pings again [03:24] haha. Ok [03:24] same result...unreachable for both [03:24] co6alt: good advice +1 [03:25] filifunk2: tell me what "sudo mii-tool enp2s0" returns [03:25] negotiated 1000baseT-HD flow-control, link ok [03:28] filifunk2: so my guess is that your router just doesn't pass you an ip address via DHCP [03:28] oh ok [03:28] filifunk2: this is what usdually happens and how computers in a home network usually get an ip address [03:28] do i throw my router out the window [03:29] filifunk2: hehe, maybe. therE's another thing we can look at: ip neigh [03:30] that doesn't give me anything [03:30] filifunk2: how many lines does this return and how many of them end in REACHABLE [03:30] oh ok [03:30] so it's not just dhcp [03:31] ok [03:31] filifunk2: i'm a bit unsure what else to try right now. do you have an android mobile phone perhaps? [03:31] i do [03:31] filifunk2: can it get online on the wireless? [03:31] yep! I'm on it right now [03:32] filifunk2: oh thats what you're typing from? [03:32] no its not [03:33] filifunk2: okay, good. do you have an usb cable to connect the smartphone to the computer? [03:33] yes [03:33] i feel like mcgyver [03:34] ok it is hooked up [03:34] filifunk2: if you dont need the smartphone right now, you can connect it to the offline computer. [03:34] okay, do you happen to know which android version it runs? [03:35] yeah its an old phone. android version 5.0.2 [03:35] hmm lets hope it works still [03:36] filifunk2: on the phone, can you access the settings menu and go to the tethering options? [03:36] yes [03:36] everything is off [03:37] I have usb tethering with a button, portable wifi hotspot with a button [03:37] set up wifi hotspot [03:37] filifunk2: usb tethering is what we want [03:37] filifunk2: can you connect the phone to wireless also, if it isnt currently [03:37] wow it works this is wild [03:37] i'm on the internet [03:38] filifunk2: ok cool, right the android phone works like a modem now [03:38] filifunk2: so, this doesn't really fix the problem, yet, but at least you can now better get diagnosis info out [03:38] and search the web for solutions etc. [03:39] filifunk2: your phone should still get charged by the computer, so at least you dont need to be worried about its battery [03:39] ok, yeah I remember reading someone who did the same thing with his phone...so maybe I'll find that one and see if I can follow in his/her footsteps [03:40] from the stuff that we did, what did we learn...its not just dhcp? [03:41] filifunk2: no, it's something else, but i'm not really sure what. so what we found out is that your computer actually did have an ip address assigned to it, maybe by the router via DHCP, but when we looked at what your computer sees in the network it is connected to, it did not even see the router [03:42] filifunk2: it would be good if you could get us a fresh view on the network settings now, since we deleted those connections earlier. [03:42] ethernet is back and it says "wired connection 1" [03:42] filifunk2: i'm not going to stay a lot longer unfortunatley, so maybe someonee else can carry on. or we can try again tomorrow. [03:42] filifunk2: this may be the usb connection [03:43] tomreyn, ok, thanks for the help [03:43] filifunk2: or is it back really? [03:44] no it is the usb connection [03:45] filifunk2: okay, so i suggest we sum up the situation again, you put it on a pastebin, and then either someone else takes over or we try again another day?

Thanks! [04:11] I will be going at this tomorrow. Maybe see you around! [04:11] filifunk2: try to run these commands again right before you try to get help here again (can benow, or later, as you prefer) [04:12] filifunk2: i just need to get soem sleep. so good luck and ttyl. [04:12] goodnight tomreyn! [04:12] thanks :) [04:25] filifunk2: I am not the sharpest tool around but the crix of this matter is " default via 192.168.0.1 dev enp2s0 proto static metric 100 " wherre the system is expecting a static config. So, what is in the file /etc/network/interfaces ? [04:30] [04:30] [04:40] Bashing-om: hi, in the interfaces file i have "auto lo" and "iface lo inet loopback" [04:41] filifunk2: that is valid for dhcp ! [04:42] Bashing_om: that sounds good? I'm sorry I don't know what to dhcp is, was going to google around tomorrow lol [04:44] Bashing-om: I'll check that out tomorrow, unless you have something I can try real quick, otherwise it's sleepy time [04:46] filifunk2: where the router hands out a IP for your box . static says you will set this ..but the file says otherwise. ' cat cat /etc/NetworkManager ' is there " managed=false " ? [04:47] got this when i was able to boot to my Ubuntu USB installer drive https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/OSDs9otm/irccloudcapture4513537925327988692.jpg [04:48] why doesn't ubuntu use "-pipe" cflag by default? [04:48] not sure what it's doing now [04:49] Bashing-om: in the networkmanager.conf file yes it says managed=false on one of the lines [04:50] spitting out some more errors [04:51] filifunk2: That is correct to for network manager to manage the interfaces. [04:53] Bashing-om: so I should change it to true? [04:56] filifunk2: NO, false is what you need presently as the interfaces file is not set up for "static" . We need to find where that static is set . [04:58] filifunk2: Not a ready answer .. and I too am tired, we can pick this up tomorrow eve if ya want . [04:58] Bashing-om: ok, yeah I'm half asleep. I'll try and get back on this tomorrow and maybe see ya...thanks for the insight though!

USB2.0 here [07:30] mastro: i suggest you await the upgrade, see how your system goes.. [07:31] now it hanged on 78% [07:34] tomreyn, hi there. How much time do you have available before you retire for the night? Did you want to offer assistance with getting the backup we made restored to the other computer?

[07:50] no [07:51] Is that 4billion number is bytes or something else?

[07:58] for what? [07:58] wheni plug [07:59] these are sandisk sticks [07:59] pagios: I guess so. [07:59] blackflow, if i copy over network all is good [07:59] pagios: are they large enough to receive those 4GB? [07:59] hi. I have a computer with fresh installation of Ubuntu 18.04.1 installed. I also have a back up tar archive of a home folder from a 16.04 installation. I want to restore the home folder and data to the 18.04.1 install. How do I do this? [07:59] so not a problem with swap or internal disks [07:59] yea [07:59] 32GB [08:00] i think something to do with the usb driver being loaded? [08:00] pagios: nah. so what are you copying and how? [08:01] blackflow, i tried rsync -avHK --progress and cp [08:01] from terminal [08:01] pagios: rsync --progress is per file tho' [08:02] pagios: which filesystem is on the sticks? [08:02] Can you partition the big file into a bunch of smaller ones, then copy the smaller files? [08:02] burzos: maybe something with `cut` [08:04] blackflow, fat [08:04] i formatted too [08:04] pagios: which fat? 32? [08:04] its one file that i am copying [08:05] pagios: how big is the file, and which FAT is it? [08:06] the file is 8GB [08:06] it says fat dunno if 32 [08:06] pagios: that's not gonna work then, fat32 max filesize is a bit less than 4GB [08:06] pagios: if you're using FAT because of windows, try ntfs instead [08:07] i tried ntfs too btw [08:07] trying fat32 now [08:07] fat32 is not gonna work for 8GB files [08:08] what should it be [08:08] pagios: for _what_? windows compatibility? ntfs [08:11] formaytted as ntfs now [08:11] 809.01kB/s [08:11] copying a dmg file here [08:11] pagios: did you use -f or -q for mkfs.ntfs? [08:11] i used gparted [08:12] (I meant -Q) [08:12] 3.57MB/s now [08:12] well, that's gonna be a while then. iirc by default ntfs wants to clean up the entire partition. perhaps cancel it and use mkfs.ntfs with -f [08:14] I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 18.04.1 and a tar.gz backup of home directory from 16.04. How do I restore this to the new 18.04.1 installation? The backup archive is 550Gb in size and currently residing on an external USB disk. [08:17] BlackDalek: you unpack the tarball. But I wouldn't do that blindly. I'd unpack it somewhere else (eg. ~/old-home/) and then copy over file selectively. [08:17] <^MillerBoss> _..._ [08:18] blackflow, seems it work now? i did a sync after it finished [08:18] I'm trying to use SSHFS to Mount Remote File Systems Over SSH. While mounting it asks for login password of the remote system, is there any way to give the password automatically? [08:18] to make sure it copied [08:18] pagios: what exactly? [08:18] sa_, you can use keys [08:18] what exactly what [08:19] sync now is hanging but copy was done [08:19] pagios: "seems it work now"? What does? [08:19] the copy didnt hang [08:19] pagios: to ntfs? [08:19] pagios: how to use the keys? [08:19] yes ntfs === capella is now known as capella|away [08:20] pagios: ah, ok. yeah. also note that the kernel is lying a bit about how much it transferred, so when, say, the cp command returns, it'll still be copying in the background. [08:20] so sync is needed right [08:20] sync command [08:20] pagios: it's not needed, it does so automatically. [08:21] so when the copy is done i just unmount? [08:21] you said it might still be coming [08:21] copying [08:21] pagios: yes, it will hold the unmoount if it's still copying data. just make sure you don't unplug it physically until it's unmounted. [08:21] ok [08:21] thanks [08:22] yw [08:23] sa_: something like this: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-ssh-keys-on-ubuntu-1804 [08:23] blackflow: Thank you [08:26] blackflow, ok.. seems pretty straight forward. tomreyn suggested I make a backup archive of /etc too for reference or something.. what do I do with that? [08:27] BlackDalek: you keep it for reference or something .) [08:27] lol [08:27] well yeah. /etc is the central place for system configuration [08:28] user configs usually go to ~/.config or somewhere else in $HOME [08:30] blackflow, hmmm... so is there likely to be any data in the /etc backup which I would need? [08:31] BlackDalek: hard to say, but as a general rule of thumb, if you didn't change any configs there yourself, it's most likely just defaults. [08:32] BlackDalek: but /etc should compress to a rather small tarball you can keep around just in case. === anders is now known as Guest97274 === ogra_ is now known as ogra [08:53] | __oooo [08:53] | // /. . o [08:53] | / / | . . o [08:53] | | / |__. . o SCORE POINT [08:53] | | | __/ . .o GOGOGO!!1 [08:53] | | | / oooo OLE! === EuphOria is now known as MUY3MTA3 [09:03] hello, [09:40] i added the line "sshfs#xy09@remote:/home/xy09 /home/xy09/remote-name fuse users,noauto 0 0" to /etc/fstab, and when i try to mount the remote file system using "mount /home/xy09/remote-name" its not connecting to remote, any wrong in this command?

[10:43] hello all, I have just setup Joomla on my PC and I am new to it, is there any chat room for Joomla where I can get help? [10:43] BlackDalek: it's forward compatible (for now), so you can use your old .mozilla dir just fine. [10:46] tehpwnz: TRY #joomla [10:47] pavlushka: it's quiet in there, is there any other group? [10:49] tehpwnz: it's because they have no problem with it may be, let them know your's [10:50] tehpwnz: also, another thing of note, is that it's between 6 & 7 am for people in the US. it may simply be a little early for ppl to be there to help you. [10:51] illuminated: ah okay, thank you. [10:51] blackflow, thank you. [10:58] I know this is an Ubuntu chat room, but is anyone here good with Joomla?

[11:15] tomreyn, hi. I am currently extracting the home archive to a temp folder ~/old-home/ in the new 18.04.1 install [11:16] Tecan: screenshot? [11:16] Tecan: cannot confirm this, menus are working fine for me in the latest gimp on ubuntu 18.04.1 [11:16] tomreyn, it took about 6 hours to archive the home directory into a 550Gb tarball, so I assume it's going to take a similar time to unpack it [11:18] BlackDalek: well, it might, maybe a bit less, writing to internal hdd may be faster., but the bottleneck is probably slow usb [11:19] tomreyn, that is correct. [11:22] BlackDalek: here's what i'd do to restore the backup: boot to recovery, enable networking and drop to a root shell, then move what's currently in home out of the way (or just delete it entirely), then restore the /home backup to /home, then look in the /etc backup which user ids were previously in use, then recreate those users (if needed), then make sure the restored files in /home actually belong to these users. [11:23] BlackDalek: that's probably not trivial for you if you're not well versed with the shell, sinc enone of it would work from a graphical user interface.

Example usage: "/msg Alis list http" === Richard is now known as Guest72169 [11:24] tomreyn, I prefer not to use the GUI whenever I can avoid it [11:25] BlackDalek: oh ok :). the alternative would be to cherry pick from the /home backup (on the GUI) and to selectively restore single directories and make sure they're owned by the right people. but i'd prefer the shell approach. [11:26] BlackDalek: so does what i described first, doing it all on the shell, seem like a good approach to you? [11:26] tomreyn, yes, but I'll probably need your help when I get to the "then look in the /etc backup which user ids were previously in use, then recreate those users (if needed), then make sure the restored files in /home actually belong to these users." part [11:27] BlackDalek: we can actually do this part first if you like [11:28] then all that'd be left would be extracting the files. [11:28] tomreyn, probably not today. The machine i busy unpacking the archive. I don't want to touch it until it's done, and I have to sleep in a while. [11:28] BlackDalek: sure, have a good night then [11:29] tomreyn, yes. thanks.

[11:52] i did [11:52] but the install fails [11:53] keekeenige: wich command did you try install wine with? [11:53] i installed wine [11:53] with the software centre [11:53] keekeenige: that is not an ubuntu problem. That is a problem with a Windows application not being compatible with wine. You should go to #winehq for that [11:56] keekeenige: looking at that applications web page, I don't think you're going to have much luck getting it to work in wine. You should just run it on Windows dual boot or in a Virtual Machine [11:56] you talking about the foxtel go app lefty? [11:58] For running it in wine or a VM, yes. As for any other wine application, that is not supported here either. For that type of support see #winehq or winehq.org [11:58] it works on a vm [11:58] ok, then you're good to go [11:58] but i was hoping to get it to run on wine [11:58] as its the only reason i have a vm ..lol [11:59] to run that one program [11:59] you probably won't. Either way, seek support from #winehq or winehq.org [11:59] ok ill just leave it to the vm then [11:59] ive been waiting like 8 hours in winhq [11:59] with no one answering lol [11:59] so think ill give up [12:00] i do have a ubuntu question now [12:01] you know down the left side of ubuntu where you have the icons [12:01] how to you add other icons that you use alot [12:01] open the app and right-click it's icon [12:03] thanks [12:04] Hi there! [12:04] can you have more then one icon bar?

Windows doesn't load and I can't go to BIOS setting. === rpittau is now known as rpittau|afk === rpittau|afk is now known as rpittau [12:12] koosha01: i dont think you can just dd mini.iso to a usb flash and expect it to boot [12:12] tomreyn: Why not? I've done that before. [12:13] hmm, it worked before? then maybe you can, i'm not actually sure. but i'd just use etcher.io or whatever the documentation recommends [12:13] (for your platform) [12:14] tomreyn: Documentation recommended cp and it didn't work too. [12:14] can you ask about program that you are looking for ...on ubuntu [12:14] in this channel [12:14] ok so i may have done something stupid, i did this in virtualbox but i think maybe theres a fix that is the same regardless whether its a native OS or not [12:14] lotus thank you for all your help today ..was really needed === mkv is now known as m4v [12:15] i made a virtualbox thing with ubuntu 16 as guest OS but i was too cheap on disk space. I think my mistake was trying to install emacs though, which according to apt would take up 100 megs. [12:15] koosha01: cp? i doubt that. [12:16] i then ran out of space, and cant file-name-tab. If i do apt get remove emacs i gain about 26 kb .... are these hundreds of megs held hostage in some package somewhere? Is there something i can clean? [12:16] tomreyn: Right in the documentation. [12:16] So basicly: was short on disk space, installed emacs, ran out competely of space, tried removing emacs, didnt re-gain as much as i thought i would [12:17] koosha01, mini.iso does no uefi (only bios legacy); so i'd try to change the bios mode (and disabling sb) or dd again the usb with sync, this time [12:17] koosha01: surely copying files from the mounted iso is part of the process but that's just one in many steps. which documentation are you looking at? [12:19] tomreyn: https://help.ubuntu.com/18.04/installation-guide/amd64/ch04s03.html [12:22] koosha01: thanks, i actually didn't know this. [12:26] hello players [12:27] o/ [12:27] tomreyn: :D === mkv is now known as m4v === morcego48 is now known as binarywork === binarywork is now known as morcego48 [12:31] I'll be thankfull if any one help me with my problem :D [12:32] koosha01: did you try what ioria suggested? [12:33] tomreyn: What did he/she suggested? [12:34] koosha01, mini.iso does no uefi (only bios legacy); so i'd try to change the bios mode (and disabling sb or fastboot ) or dd again the usb with sync, this time [12:34] koosha01: that you should not use mini.iso with uefi booting (need to change to legacy / csm to use it), and that when you cp mini.iso to the raw device, you shoould sync before you unmount + eject [12:35] koosha01, also heard about efi support for 18.04 but not sure [12:36] I don't use uefi. [12:36] but didn't sync after dd. Does it really help? [12:36] Hi all. I think in a recent "apt upgrade" java 9 sneaked into my system. https://gist.github.com/Anticom/217f2f2e167f2c2896996b05536d120c [12:37] is this caused by default-jre? [12:37] i'm not sure what java package i've installed when i set up my machine [12:37] koosha01, might be; you extracted before it flushed [12:38] ioria: Allright, let me try it. [12:38] rampjoulaboyrampjoulaboyrampjoulaboyrampjoulaboyrampDOLPHINoBOYmTELL'EMoyrampjoul [12:38] rampjoulaboyrampjoulaboyrampjoulaboyrampjoulaboyrampDOLPHINoBOYmTELL'EMoyrampjoul [12:38] rampjoulaboyrampjoulaboyrampjoulaboyrampjoulaboyrampDOLPHINoBOYmTELL'EMoyrampjoul [12:39] ty Sigyn [12:40] thing is i don't need or rather don't *want* jre and jdk 9 on my machine since it messes with some executable jar's i've got on there [12:40] so what's the most sensible way to get rid of it [12:44] ioria / koosha01:so i tried to cp mini.iso to the raw device, then sync, and what i get is "Error: Invalid partition table - recursive partition on /dev/sde." [12:44] so i assume the documentation may be outdated [12:45] tomreyn, yeah [12:46] same with dd [12:46] Good day everyone! I'm trying to build libmtp (trouble transfering files from mobile), and I'm running into some issues - https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/GDzX4QbzhT/. Could some one please point me towards a solution? Thanks! [12:46] I've got a long-running process running directly in a shell on my laptop. Is it possible to "move" this into screen or tmux, so I can view its output from elsewhere over SSH? [12:47] pizzaburger, there is an earlier error i guess [12:49] ioria: You're right, I see it now [12:51] i think this mini.iso is just broken http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic/main/installer-amd64/current/images/SHA256SUMS [12:52] anyone? [12:52] I'm getting 'rm: cannot remove '.libs/libmtp_la-libmtp.o': Permission denied'. Is this because I don't "own" /Home? How do I work around this? The error was part of a 'make' command.

Very nice tool. [12:57] pizzaburger: if you ever did "sudo make" by mistake it would have borked all your permissions [12:57] pizzaburger: you can set ownership on your entire home directory, if that's what you want to do, with: chown -R $USER:$USER ~ [12:57] sudo that === mkv is now known as m4v [13:06] Anticom: which ubuntu release [13:06] now I'm getting 'collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status' [13:07] ioria: I tried sync, didn't work out. [13:07] get's stuck at booting. [13:08] tomreyn: xenial [13:08] koosha01: i just wrote both the 18.04.0 and trhe 18.04.1 mini iso to a usb stick using various methods and was never able to boot off it. directly booting the iso file in a vm did work for both iso files, though. [13:09] koosha01: so i'm not sure what to make out of this. i was legacy booting in all cases. [13:09] koosha01: i suggest you use a full iso [13:10] But I need this version. [13:10] why? [13:10] keeping it simple. [13:10] Anticom: default-jre depends on openjdk-8-jre on xenial [13:11] koosha01: so it is a nice to have, not a strict dependency. [13:11] tomreyn: PLus I don't think it's because of the version. I already installed the 32 bit network installer on the other computer. [13:11] hm that's strange [13:11] because java-9-jre hasn't got any external rdependencies [13:13] Anticom: you can search /var/log/apt/term.log* for how openjdk-jre-9 got installed. [13:13] Anticom: i dont think it happened as part of an upgrade [13:14] Anticom: unless due to 3rd party packaged [13:14] *S [13:16] hola [13:20] hello. is there a way for me to install ubuntu on a pc, alongside windows 10, without cd or usb? [13:21] like, run installation from windows, and then simply restart to boot into it [13:23] hi. stupid question or stupid feature, I guess. I have a ext4 partition ona usb key. and nautilus does not allow me to delete any file on it. it is mount rw [13:23] oops sorry. [13:23] the file re wned by root [13:29] RandomSerb: there used to be wubi, but it's not supported anymore [13:29] RandomSerb: you can find a fork of wubi here https://github.com/hakuna-m/wubiuefi [13:31] solved it. update-alternatives had some hickups and wouldn't update the symlink in /etc/alternatives [13:31] i've set it manually and now everything works as expected again [13:35] koosha01: i just booted the installer fine off the mini.iso usb. so it's definitely possible (even though there is this warning about the partition tables) [13:36] tomreyn: Yeah. [13:36] koosha01: did you verify yours doenst try to uefi boot? [13:37] RandomSerb: possible, but not supported. [13:37] tomreyn: What? [13:38] koosha01: what i wrote. [13:38] I'm having access denied trouble in a project directory [13:38] I've got an Ubuntu 16.04 server and I'm trying to get gnupg2 working [13:38] What is the command to get recursive permission printout? [13:39] tomreyn: It was unclear. [13:39] But `echo hello | gpg2 -s` produces an error: gpg: signing failed: Permission denied [13:39] RandomSerb: not *quite* the same thing, but you might consider giving the Windows Subsystem for Linux a try: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/about [13:39] RandomSerb: i've heard good things; not tried it myself. [13:39] Is there any way to debug this? [13:40] Do these permissions look right? https://gist.github.com/skinuxgeek/7af45f7d51b9a99c3241f6613f04860a [13:42] koosha01: have you double-checked that the computer that gets stuck booting (where?) from the usb attached flash (?) storage you wrote mini.iso to boots in legacy bios / CSM and not in URFI mode?

[13:54] Debian bug 836772 in gnupg "pinentry fails when used from dedicated account via su -" [Important,Open] [13:57] faLUCE: in cas ethe above messages weren't clear on this, your ubuntu release is end of life (unsupported and no more security patches) since july 19. [14:00] tomreyn, i looked at the bug, and it's not related. i have searched for errors messages for about 2 hours now though. [14:00] Running `echo hello | gpg2 --debug-all -s` this is the output [14:00] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/GPDdRywhfk/ [14:00] I've posted in the #gnupg channel as well about this of course. [14:01] However I'm not sure where the error is. I tried stracing it, but all it did was show me a bunch of `write()` calls, not much else going on, and I'm not competent enough to debug that kind of stuff. [14:06] necrophcodr: this indeed looks like pinentry ran into a permission issue. you could try switching to a different pinentry application or disable it entirely, to see whether this works around the issue [14:11] Hello Cyptolock [14:17] tomreyn, just burned a 32-bit mini.iso 18.04 and it boots fine; probably the issue is with 64bit [14:19] ioria: well i booted frine form a 64-bit [14:19] *fine [14:20] but maybe it's a matter of usb version or other hardware details whether or not it works. [14:20] tomreyn, sy, misunderstood 'was never able to boot off it. [14:21] oh :-/ [14:24] Hi there. I have a problem with 18.04 desktop and getting my *.local domain to resolve. The correct DNS server is advertised via DHCP. But dig .local doesn't give me an ip. If I state the dns server explicitly, it works. Any idea what could be wrong here? [14:25] ioria: so, yes, initially i was unable to boot off the 64-bit iso when written to a usb stick, then usb passed through to a vm, where i tried booting it. i later tried this usb stick on a bare metal computer, though, and reported this: ? koosha01: i just booted the installer fine off the mini.iso usb. so it's definitely possible (even though there is this warning about the partition tables) [14:25] tomreyn, ah, ok :) imissed that [14:26] I already removed mdns from the nsswitch.conf, but that didn't help [14:27] ioria: sorry if i wasn't clear about it. so it seems to work and koosha01 didn't seem too interested in making it work, so i guess we should not spend more time on it. [14:27] tomreyn, oky [14:29] qwebirc90268: pastebin: cat /etc/resolv.conf # and # nmcli device show |grep -i dns [14:33] if my system tray isn't showing up in plasma what is the likely cause?

What should I do? [14:54] qwebirc90268, But the /Debug/ one referenced is on line 90, rw/r/r [14:55] JimBuntu: the question is, what the '.' dir is [14:56] qwebirc90268, That's a valid concern. [14:56] horus125: can you ctrl+alt+f1 onto a different tty and login there? [14:57] hi [14:57] skinux, `ls a-lF /home/skinux/Projects/FrabbitzServer/obj/Debug/FrabbitzServer.Form1.resources` [14:57] oops. `ls -alF /home/skinux/Projects/FrabbitzServer/obj/Debug/FrabbitzServer.Form1.resources` [14:59] how can i check which dirs / files were modified in last X days, and their size? [15:00] MeiR: 'du' gives you file size. Maybe it supports some kind of filter. [15:01] yeah i'm familiar with du, would love to hear about filters [15:02] MeiR, find / -mtime -X [15:04] leftyfb: any idea? https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/67tRsjh7ts/ [15:05] qwebirc90268: change mydomain.local to just local [15:05] also, the reason I asked for the pastbin was not for you to redact the useful informatoon [15:06] qwebirc90268: unless you have to local DNS servers, your DNS via DHCP is wrong. You should ONLY have your local DNS if you wish to resolve local DNS hosts [15:07] to/two [15:07] MeiR, a more complete comman... find / -type f -mtime -1 -exec ls -alF {} \; [15:08] leftyfb: it's internal ips all the way. there is nothing useful to get out of this. If i put either server into dig via @ip it resolves the ip without any problem. And the 127.0.0.53 is not set by me [15:08] qwebirc90268: that is set by your local network manager which gets it's info from dhcp [15:10] leftyfb: I guess 127.0.0.53 is the resolvd service, to do caching. But this still does not explain why it doesn't resolve the hostname. [15:11] thanks JimBuntu, will try [15:11] leftyfb: The actual DHCP field is correct. I double checked that with a diffrent client. [15:12] qwebirc90268: try manually changing /etc/resolv.com to use one of your local DNS servers and test [15:15] rampjoulaboyrampjoulaboyrampjoulaboyrampjoulaboyrampDOLPHINoBOYmTELL'EMoyrampjoul [15:18] leftyfb: this works. But obviously only until I restart [15:18] qwebirc90268: it's called troubleshooting [15:18] so it tells me you're not actually using those dns server via dhcp somewhere [15:18] hey all [15:18] i have download a iso file that is windows based [15:19] i want to extract the files but ...when mounted the iso folder shows empty [15:20] leftyfb: yes.

[16:00] witam jest ktos tu z polski [16:01] MeiR: there is no history, unless you'll create it [16:01] tomreyn, that doesn't make sense though, given what apt-get is reporting: https://bpaste.net/show/c08d5ad8c19c [16:02] CrtxReavr: why not?

[16:36] I have dual monitor on 16.04 with no issue [16:37] it may depend on the graphics driver, but usually it just works fine [16:40] i have 3 and im not sure if i have the gfx driver. i remember during the install it asked if i wanted extra software, it mentioned something about gfx. im on 18.0.4.1.

[17:10] madLyfe, No, you can use a graphical text editor if you prefer, afaik [17:11] huh? [17:12] A ".desktop" file is simply a specially formatted text file that the DE interprets. You can write one using gedit if you prefer [17:13] madLyfe; in xubuntu locate required program-launcher in menu -> right mouse-click, select 'Add to desktop' [17:14] you mean from the grid? [17:15] i only have these options: https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/hALCoIZT/image.png [17:17] can't you just drag the icon to the desktop? [17:18] i tried that but it just opens a new window [17:20] tell me the irc cliet u guys use....

My problem is with my network manager. The wifi says it is disabled and cannot recognize any wireless networks. Ive tried nmcli radio wifi on but that did nothing. nmcli wifi says wifi is enabled but network manager says it is not. Super new to all this just fyi. [17:45] Hamilton: no, that's not an issue per se. if you read up more on 'fast startup' you'll learn that it means that windows doesn't unomunt the ntfs cleanly. so whenever that's the case, then ubuntu linux would have to fix the file system up before it can use it. but ntfs support, while pretty stable, was reverse engineered for lack of documentation, and may thus not be perfect. as a result, what looks like a broken ntfs wont just be automatically [17:45] fxed up on linux.

[17:47] Hamilton: no, run ntfsfix on it, or chkdsk /f on windows [17:48] tomreyn, Can I run ntfsfix on ubunto (in this state)? [17:48] Hamilton: it will tell you if not so. [17:50] tomreyn, I don't remember my *devices* [17:50] I mean I don't remember whther that drive was /dev/hda?

The only error I seem to see is from syslog "netlink: 'hostapd': attribute type 213 has an invalid length." but my research shows this is benign [17:51] Hamilton: feel free to post the output and we can look for it together [17:51] !pastebinit | Hamilton [17:51] Hamilton: 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 [17:51] i think i may need to switch to KDE or cinnamon or something like that [17:52] tomreyn, Thank for helping :) [17:52] For now, here is the original error in ubuntu boot: [17:52] https://imgur.com/a/AVQkcmx [17:54] Hamilton: this shows plenty of acpi errors. that's unrelatedm, but you should install a bios update if one is available. and maybe do this if they'll still be present afterwards: http://iam.tj/prototype/enhancements/Windows-acpi_osi.html [17:54] I take that back, there's another error: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/Qs8XBsQY5d/ [17:55] tomreyn, I found it (sda8) and did that utility. It reported it has exited successfully [17:56] leftyfb: looks like you successfully rebooted your wireless chipsets' firmware by triggering a critical error in it. [17:56] tomreyn, But it was working before :( [17:57] Hamilton: what was working before? [17:57] tomreyn, It was booting to Ubunto and Win10 either way [17:58] Hamilton: oh you're saying you can no longer boot Ubuntu now? i didnt notice that. [17:58] Hamilton: do you have the ntfs disk listed in /etc/fstab ? [17:58] i mean the ntfs, not disk [17:59] There is not /fstab in my etc [18:00] Hamilton: if you're still in ubuntu emergency and just did the ntfsfix from there then just press ctrl-d to make it continue to boot now [18:00] tomreyn, Booting now, But that utility didn't seem it did much work :\ [18:01] I mean it reported success but it throwed it rather fast [18:01] Hamilton, I think it only has to change a bit [18:01] Hamilton: yes it could be very fast [18:02] Hamilton: so does it start your graphical desktop now? [18:03] tomreyn, No CTRL+D didn't work [18:03] I rebooted [18:03] is it easy to switch to KDE or cinnamon? [18:03] It actually throws error about not being able to access some interrupt vector [18:03] And ACPI things [18:04] It immediately shows them and clears them, then shows emergency mode and that picture I posted [18:06] Hamilton: so you're back in emergency now?

[18:22] Volume is corrupt :( [18:23] i suggest you boot into windows, check all file systems there, and reboot to ubuntu [18:24] tomreyn, How to check file systems? chkdsk? [18:25] yes something like this. my guess is 'chkdsk /F /A'. there is ##windows for windows support here. [18:25] Yep, lsblk reports sda6 is actually the root or ext4 [18:25] Hamilton: login to Windows, run chkdsk /f /y and reboot TWICE [18:25] So why does it suggest using chkds? [18:26] leftyfb, But windows is not aware of ext4 partitions. Is it? [18:27] Hamilton: is it your NTFS or ext4 partition you're having issues with? [18:27] leftyfb, I don't know. I just formatted a FAT32 partition (dev8 to be exact) to NTFS in windows (my biggest mistake) [18:28] Hamilton: no idea why ubuntu would suggest running 'chkdsk' on an ext4 file system. there can be some reasons but speculating on them doesn't help here. we dont know anything about your system other than the two screenshots and what you said so far. [18:28] Then I tried to boot into Ubuntu and it is complaining about everything now [18:29] Hi, I'm having a very strange problem with Grub2. I'm using Xubuntu 18.04 and I've noticed some Grub2 commands in command line have no output, as ls [18:29] Hamilton: take that NTFS drive out of /etc/fstab and try to boot ubuntu [18:31] FurretUber: that's not strange. grub's 'ls' command is not what you'd see on bash, ash, dash, zsh or other shells. it behaves differently [18:32] When using from the command line in one install, it shows the devices as (hd0,msdos1) [18:32] leftyfb, I don't have any /fstab directory in my /etc [18:32] In the other install ls shows nothing [18:33] FurretUber: right, ls should list the disks and partitions on them which grub detected. [18:34] Initially I supposed it was not detecting disks, but if I used the commands as set root, linux, initrd and boot it worked. But it never gave output. One command I know that works is lsefi [18:34] so i've got an old installation of ubuntu (17.04). I've got it updated using the old-releases.ubuntu.com domains. Is there a way to upgrade to 17.10 (since directly upgrading to 18.04 is unsupported)? [18:34] Hamilton: fstab is a file in thhe /etc directory [18:35] !eolupgrade | wasutton3_mobile [18:35] wasutton3_mobile: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [18:36] lotuspsychje, i've already read that. those instructions are ancient and don't seem to work [18:37] tomreyn, I guess the problem is my Ubuntu system is not *aware* that /sda8 is not NTFS. It seems I need to edit some fstab file or comment sth out to make it work [18:38] But again, I'm not sure why it complained about /sda6 though [18:38] I did a disk repair via GUI in Windows 10 on sda8. It said it had errors and fixed it [18:38] Hamilton: can you show some output? i think this will allow you to make progress and would be a lot better than continuing to speculate. [18:38] tomreyn, OK I'm on it [18:39] wasutton3_mobile: we have users that fixxed their system with this method..but we advise you to upgrade your system 'before' its going end of life, or clean install [18:39] lotuspsychje, i normally try to, this one slipped through the cracks. [18:40] lotuspsychje, "An upgrade from 'zesty' to 'bionic' is not supported with this tool. " thats the error i get using that method [18:40] Hamilton: "lsblk -o +LABEL,MODEL" and "cat /etc/fstab" are a good start [18:40] wasutton3_mobile: let me put it this way, with all the recent security flaws, would you still trust your system? [18:40] lotuspsychje, considering its on a vlan without internet access, and its been sitting in a box since last june (2017), I'd say that its fairly trustworthy.

[18:41] tomreyn, https://imgur.com/a/XhPQJFX [18:42] Now it doesn't even complain about anything but still is in emergency [18:42] lotuspsychje, i'd like to do that, but I just don't have physical access to it at the moment. [18:44] wasutton3_mobile: have you tryed to jump 17.04==>17.10?

[19:30] * trailing 1 [19:31] Hamilton: "blkid" lists the correct uuids [19:31] :) [19:31] How u learned all this [19:32] breaking thing, and forcing yourself to learn how to recover them helps a lot. === joeythes- is now known as joeythesaint [19:33] I tried installing ubunto (12 three years ago and 16) on my main laptop. It has heat problems and I had to uninstall both times [19:33] Really bad experience with installing Linux on laptops [19:33] As soon as it boot into Ubuntu, fan maxed out like it was hell [19:34] And it even had problems on Windows so I decided not to mess with low-level shenanigans [19:37] Recently I installed needsrestart, pretty cool tool. There's something I noticed; does it actually remove the need to restart for security updates? [19:37] I don't think I've gotten a prompt at login to reboot since I installed it. Makes me wonder if the automatic security update scripts will use needsrestart if it's available.

Please help me! :-). Network-manager's gui has messed up (I don't understand why) and I can't edit connections... Is there a way to fix that or reset it to the default? [20:26] faLUCE: First thing i'd do is reboot if you haven't tried that already. Otherwise, maybe you could try dpkg-reconfigure on network manager. [20:28] adrian_1908: in some way I succeeded in creating a new connection. It's a hotspot one (With an usb nic). However, other devices see this connection, but they can't connect to it [20:31] hey [20:31] OK, afrer reading many docs I've decided that snaps were designed for server apps on ubuntu cloud boxes and they're not very good for end user applications :( I did fix the problem I had though. [20:38] can any one guess for latest ubuntu well upgrade?? [20:38] *any [20:44] Are the ubuntu and Debian package repositories identical?

I created a hotspot connection for a tp-link usb wifi dongle which I have plugged into my mobo (ubuntu OS). I did not set any encription/password. My android device sees that connection in the wi-fi list, but it can't connect. Where can I start to fix that? [20:59] when the android devices tries to connect it says "connection error" [21:04] Anyone know how to launch the ubuntu o/s installer in a livecd over ssh? [21:05] with a pre-configured kickstart file (and no I don't want to use the netboot image) [21:05] I have to run a few scripts like install megaraaid and configure some LSI volumes before I start setup [21:12] jonfatino: I think there is a Wiki page on that [21:12] Been a while since Ilooked at it though [21:16] Hey there [21:16] I am having an issue with wine, so looking for a friendly advice [21:16] And nope, I am not an alcoholic [21:17] :) [21:18] I need to install wine 1.9 in ubuntu studio 18.04. For some odd reason I cant do it through the software center, synaptic or gdebi [21:19] Wine 3 works perfectly out of the box, however I am having a compatibility issue so 1.9 is the version I have to be going for [21:19] Would anyone have any Ideas by any chance? [21:21] Keytarman: Errors? [21:22] When I am trying to install the .deb through the Gdebi it gives me no errors what so ever, however, the install button is gray with no explaination whatsoever [21:22] Keytarman: I didn't think alcoholic had any issues with wine :) [21:22] :) [21:23] wine can turn you to one after of a couple of days of trying to figure it out hehe [21:23] Software center just mumbles something quickly about unmet dependencies without any other information [21:24] Synaptic just doesnt have the 1.9 there [21:24] And whenever I am trying to do it through the terminal all the options I have are wine 3 related [21:24] The ppas from the 1.9 related threads just dont add [21:27] I am installing some audio production libraries, and I have went through about 150 gb of them already.

[21:32] Keytarman: maybe you can use an LXD container? Might be a bit involved, but that's a possible option if you want to suffer through it. [21:34] Hmmm. I have no Idea about what the LXD container may be, but I will google that [21:34] thank you [21:38] Keytarman: Basically, it would allow you to set up a separate (slim) linux environment and install WINE 1.9 there so it doesn't conflict with your host system. I haven't used LXD in a bit (want to get back into it asap myself), but it might be somewhat involved to get graphics pass-through, and access to shared directories (audio files) etc. [21:39] It might also "just work", I heard it's getting easier with every release. [21:40] From my experience over the past 8 or so years it is all getting better and easier === captain_fixerpc1 is now known as CaptainFixerpc14 [21:41] If it wasnt for this one particular plugin it would be considered working out of the box without any problems [21:41] Im going to give it a try [21:41] Thank you for your advice, adrian_1908 [21:42] You're welcome. It pains me to think that you have to do that for that one plugin, but I have no better suggestion right now. [21:43] Yeah - another option would be redoing the whole thing with ubuntu 16 [21:44] And that is even more pain it seems [21:45] Do you thing that plugin would be able to run from an lxd image into the regular session host? [21:45] *think even [21:45] Keytarman: I'm not familiar with these VST plugins (or audio in general). Is it just an Windows executable or? [21:47] it is a dll based plugin which then goes into a wrapper called airwave that creates a .so library for the host to load and runs the dll through wine in the middle [21:47] And now as I think of it adding another layer in between might just make it unusable [21:47] And we are talking about the realtime stuff [21:47] :/ [21:48] the host program is linux native [21:49] I am running quite a few plugins that way and they work like a charm [21:49] Keytarman: So assuming it would work right now, You'd have the dll file, an executable "Airwave" running in WINE that transforms it into an .so and your host loads that? [21:50] yep [21:50] Pretty much that [21:50] And more than that - the plugin will be loading sound libraries, sometimes larger than 2 gb [21:51] Surprisingly that whole system worked perfectly under 1.9 [21:51] Worked even better through the 3.0 but that particular plug in somehow does not work with the 3.0 [21:51] Ok, fascinating. Generally speaking, is it's just code and you don't need some kind of "audio bridge", then I would assume the container might work. You can give it access to resources (including storage) on the host. === riotz is now known as mrsensible [21:52] And winehq has zero information on it past version 1.9 [21:52] s/is it's just/if it's just [21:53] Be aware that a linux container image is like 300MB or so though, they're much beefier than others (which you can use too). [21:53] well as far as I understand the audio bridging is done by the host part === mrsensible is now known as riotz [21:54] I am sorry, I am not entirely bright with that - I am just a lowly music composer [21:54] That stuff is pretty hardcore for my linux skills [21:55] :))) [21:55] :) [21:55] is it 300 mb RAM we are talking about? [21:56] I mean Ubuntu container image being 300MB btw, they're ALL linux container images. I need to go to bed, I keep making mistakes and that's bad when doling out advice :) [21:56] 300MB on the disk [21:56] Ah, that is not that scary. [21:56] Ram wise it's super efficient, the container barely adds any overhead [21:56] But thank you very much for reaching out to help, I appreciate that [21:57] You can install smaller distros like the popular 'alpine', but then they won't have the familiar tools of Ubuntu. [21:57] Well it all works on the other machine with xubuntu 16 [21:58] I will try to sex it up with the wine 3.0 for a while, then try the LXD - and if all fails - its another 5 hours reinstall for me :/ === rob is now known as Guest11259 [21:59] Damn it ubuntu, I am really trying to make this work:)))) [22:00] Here's the list of available container distros: https://images.linuxcontainers.org So you can easily run e.g. 16.04 on your 18.04 host.
