| forgotmynick | in the ubuntu 18.04 installer, is the subnet 192.168.0.0/24 or 255.255.255.0/24 ? | 00:03 |
|---|---|---|
| nacc | forgotmynick: the former, if that's your subnet | 00:03 |
| forgotmynick | i know, i was just testing you | 00:04 |

| Belial | nacc, pretty sure he was being tongue in cheek with the "just testing you." hence the "thanks" after you helped him. | 00:21 |
| Biessie | how can i know what all the apt-get upgrade for 18.04.1 changes are? | 00:27 |
| madLyfe | compdoc: my board is a gigabyte from 2013 | 00:28 |
| tomreyn | madLyfe: it may still have this option. | 00:29 |
| Biessie | i do it daily but would like to know what the changes are fixing :) | 00:29 |
| compdoc | well, you would know if those options can be enabled seperately. You want AHCI on always. But if you want real raid, there are raid cards that a fairly cheap | 00:29 |
| madLyfe | I remember my Samsung SSD saying that I couldn't update the firmware if I wasn't on AHCI. also in bios it says if you want NCQ and smart plus other drive features you need AHCI enabled. | 00:29 |
| tomreyn | Biessie: "apt changelog <package>" after installing, or apt-listchanges to see be prompted before iniitating installation. | 00:31 |
| madLyfe | tomreyn: which feature were you referring to? | 00:31 |
| tomreyn | madLyfe: the 'AHCI / RAID' hard disk (controller) mode of operation BIOS option | 00:33 |
| madLyfe | either/or or a mode where AHCI is enabled when raid is enabled like compdoc was talking about? because I remember my Sammy SSD complaining that I wasn't using AHCI when was in raid mode when I tried to update it's firmware. so not sure if my board has that? | 00:38 |
| tomreyn | madLyfe: those are values you can choose from on a single bios opiton. you want ahci, and either software raid or proper hardware rai, never fakeraid, if you have had to or just read about the experiences people made with recovering those.. | 00:41 |
| tomreyn | rai -> raid | 00:41 |
| tomreyn | but i have a feeling this is the third day in a row you're asking this question and getting the same answers. ;) | 00:42 |
| madLyfe | I'm getting somewhere today 🤣 | 00:42 |

| tomreyn | welcome, and i fail on typing more than you do. | 00:44 |
| kevr | hello | 00:51 |
| kevr | i corrupted a file in /etc/sudoers.d/, and i dont have a password for su setup properly | 00:52 |
| kevr | is there a way to recover the system? | 00:52 |
| kevr | i booted into recovery shell via grub, but everything is mounted RO | 00:52 |
| tomreyn | kevr: the recovery menu offers you to remount rw. it may not spell it out like this (not sure). the option to bring the network online does so. | 00:54 |
| tomreyn | kevr: but you can also just run "mount -o remount,rw /" from the recovery shell | 00:54 |
| kevr | tomreyn: thanks | 00:55 |
| filifunk | Hi guys, I had an issue earlier. I bought a new router and my computer could not get on the internet. Someone in this chat gave me a command that fixes it. The problem is that I have to use the command everytime I log in. Is there a way for the command to be used on boot up automatically? | 01:09 |
| kevr | Yes, there is. | 01:11 |
| kevr | However, maybe we can solve your problem without having to manually add something. | 01:11 |
| kevr | What exactly did you use to get it to work? | 01:11 |
| pete_ | hey guys, what's the main topic tonight? | 01:12 |
| kevr | Ubuntu. | 01:13 |
| filifunk | kevr: ok, I'll pull it up one sec | 01:13 |
| Belial | pete_, the golden girls reboot | 01:13 |
| emma | is there a way to know in advance if a given laptop will run ubuntu nicely? | 01:13 |
| Belial | 2019 | 01:13 |
| filifunk | kevr: sudo ip link set dev enp2s0 down && sudo dhclient enp2s0 | 01:13 |
| kevr | emma: usually intel chipset laptops are nice | 01:13 |
| emma | i want to find the best laptop that can be bought onlinle for less than 600 dollars that will run ubuntu nicely | 01:13 |
| kevr | emma: try to avoid stuff with broadcom wifi | 01:13 |
| === 3NAAAZKI0 is now known as Random832 | ||
| emma | kevr: i do want to but the specs online never say what the wireles chipset is | 01:14 |
| kevr | you'll have to look up the manual to the model you're interested in | 01:14 |
| kevr | or go to the vendor site for specs | 01:14 |
| kevr | also | 01:14 |
| kevr | Ubuntu has a large supported hardware listing to help people out with that | 01:14 |
| Belial | emma, can't go wrong with most intel based dell laptops | 01:14 |
| kevr | You should check out that list as you're buying the laptop :) | 01:15 |
| kevr | Anything with an intel chipset/intel graphics onboard has never failed me on Linux | 01:15 |
| emma | but intel chipset means wireless? | 01:16 |
| kevr | could mean multiple things | 01:16 |
| kevr | that's one of them though, yeah, pretty important for laptop :) | 01:16 |
| Belial | emma, are you worried about a particular wireless chipset by intel? | 01:17 |
| filifunk | Hi guys, I had an issue earlier. I bought a new router and my computer could not get on the internet. Someone in this chat gave me a command that fixes it. The problem is that I have to use the command everytime I log in. Is there a way for the command to be used on boot up automatically? | 01:17 |
| kevr | filifunk: there's a problem with your command that you used to fix the issue | 01:18 |
| filifunk | kevr: oh yeah? | 01:18 |
| kevr | filifunk: apparently there are already services on your system which are bringing up your interface and running dhcp on it | 01:18 |
| kevr | i would suggest changing _those_ to work the way you'd like, instead of adding extra commands | 01:18 |
| kevr | otherwise, you're going to have a service battling the other for little reason | 01:18 |
| filifunk | kevr: ok, any tips on how I might do this? Some things I should look into? | 01:19 |
| kevr | filifunk: what exactly was the original issue you were having? | 01:19 |
| kevr | As in... | 01:19 |
| filifunk | kevr: I was connected to my router via ethernet, but could not get on the internet, despite every other device being able to | 01:20 |
| kevr | On boot, did you get an IP address? If so, were you missing a correct route or DNS? | 01:20 |
| kevr | If not, maybe we should investigate why dhcpcd was apparently failing | 01:20 |
| filifunk | kevr: I want to say yes I did, but don't know for sure. I just remember before I had the problem fix I had an IP address that I was telling people in the chat was my IP address | 01:21 |
| kevr | okay | 01:21 |
| kevr | let's do this | 01:21 |
| kevr | reboot your computer, without internet, and don't do anything | 01:21 |
| filifunk | kevr: okay, I'm assuming I should log into this chat via my laptop that can connect via wireless | 01:22 |
| kevr | Yes | 01:22 |
| kevr | :) | 01:22 |
| filifunk | kevr: ok, no smoke signal lol | 01:22 |
| kevr | When you get to a prompt | 01:22 |
| kevr | Run these commands for me: | 01:22 |
| kevr | `ip addr >> /tmp/log; ip route >> /tmp/log; cat /etc/resolv.conf >> /tmp/log` | 01:23 |
| kevr | after that, /tmp/log will be a text file with those commands output inside of it | 01:23 |
| kevr | we need that file so i can inspect it | 01:23 |
| kevr | So, after you run those commands, connect to the internet, then upload that log to a paste or something | 01:23 |
| filifunk | kevr:ok | 01:24 |
| filifunk2 | test | 01:24 |
| kevr | success | 01:25 |
| filifunk | kevr: back | 01:30 |
| filifunk | kevr: https://pastebin.com/dcy8zRdA | 01:30 |
| kevr | okay | 01:30 |
| kevr | now | 01:30 |
| kevr | filifunk: are you using server or desktop? | 01:31 |
| filifunk | kevr: desktop | 01:31 |
| kevr | interesting | 01:32 |
| de-facto | I consider it mildly irritating that on invoking software updates (gui) I _sometimes_ (kernel updates?) get a password prompt without any further explanation!? Is that meant to educate users to enter root password for every dialogue that pops sometimes up? | 01:32 |
| kevr | it doesnt look like you're even getting an IP address | 01:32 |
| kevr | meaning, there's probably no DHCP service running for your eth adapter | 01:32 |
| kevr | that would explain why dhclient got you internet, because nothing else is doing it | 01:32 |
| kevr | filifunk: what happens if you use... | 01:33 |
| filifunk | kevr: so all my other devices have a DHCP service? | 01:33 |
| kevr | filifunk: systemctl start networking.service? | 01:33 |
| kevr | filifunk: usually dhcp is set to run on boot by default... | 01:33 |
| filifunk | kevr: I should type that in the prompt? | 01:33 |
| kevr | type it in a shell, yes, | 01:33 |
| T3ll0ll3t | hii what is the function of python2 ? | 01:34 |
| kevr | T3ll0ll3t: it's a programming language. | 01:34 |
| filifunk | kevr: ok, typed it and entered it in. A prompt asking for my password came up. I entered it and hit enter, and nothing happened | 01:34 |
| kevr | T3ll0ll3t: The reason python2 still exists alongside python3 is because they are not compatible with each other. python3 doesn't support all legacy python2 code, and all python2 modules are python2 only. | 01:34 |
| kevr | Meaning, if the OS decided to jump everything to python 3 they would break thousands of projects | 01:35 |
| kevr | filifunk: do you have internet now? | 01:35 |
| filifunk | kevr: right now, yes, have had it ever since I logged back in and gave you that paste link | 01:35 |
| kevr | ah, right | 01:35 |
| kevr | so | 01:35 |
| kevr | can you also give me this file: | 01:35 |
| kevr | `/etc/network/interfaces` | 01:36 |
| kevr | on a pastebin | 01:36 |
| T3ll0ll3t | ok thanks kevr | 01:36 |
| kevr | T3ll0ll3t: anytime! | 01:36 |

| T3ll0ll3t | oh | 01:36 |
| kevr | filifunk: you don't have your interface configured for internet | 01:37 |
| kevr | that's why you aren't getting it automatically | 01:37 |
| kevr | one sec | 01:37 |
| filifunk | kevr: I'm no computer scientist but that sounds problematic lol | 01:37 |
| kevr | filifunk: https://wiki.debian.org/NetworkConfiguration#Using_DHCP_to_automatically_configure_the_interface | 01:37 |
| kevr | filifunk: replace eth0 with your ethernet adapter's name | 01:38 |
| kevr | save it, and reboot | 01:38 |
| kevr | filifunk: but, don't remove the `lo` lines | 01:38 |
| kevr | those are definitely needed | 01:38 |
| kevr | just add a new section for the eth adapter | 01:38 |
| filifunk | kevr: so I've seen this a lot: enp2s0, is that the ethernet adapter name? | 01:39 |
| kevr | filifunk: exactly | 01:39 |

| filifunk | kevr: so before I even went to this chat to try and solve my problem I googled around and followed this one tutorial that said I should turn off ipv6. So I turned it off. Is that going to be a problem? | 01:40 |
| kevr | filifunk: keep that page bookmarked that i linked you, it's applicable to the default networking on debian-based systems | 01:40 |
| filifunk | kevr: ok | 01:40 |
| kevr | filifunk: it's not going to be a problem | 01:40 |
| tomreyn | kevr: you're ignoring network manager + systemd-networkd there. /etC/network/interfaces isn't how you configure networking on an ubuntu desktop these days. (i admit it may be the fastest way forward in this remote support scenario, though.) | 01:40 |
| kevr | filifunk: also, all of this stuff may be manageable on your network system tray widget, but i'm not sure | 01:41 |
| de-facto | Fancy new predictable network adapter names: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames/ | 01:41 |
| kevr | yeah, that's what i was thinking | 01:41 |
| kevr | network manager is probably the best ubuntu way eh? | 01:41 |
| tomreyn | kevr: it's default for desktops, yes | 01:41 |
| kevr | filifunk: check the networking icon in your system tray, there should be interface settings in there | 01:41 |
| tomreyn | kevr: but maybe just ignore me. filifunk + i tried to solve this for hours the other day and i couldnt fix it in the end, needed to sleep. | 01:42 |
| kevr | ah, i see. | 01:42 |
| kevr | well it's cool, the more he learns the better anyways | 01:42 |
| kevr | :) | 01:42 |
| kevr | let's try the first suggestion | 01:43 |
| filifunk | kevr: try the first one with link you gave me? | 01:43 |
| kevr | yeah | 01:43 |
| filifunk | kevr: ok, so I am going to add those first three lines to the interfaces file | 01:44 |
| kevr | yup. and remember to replace the eth0 :) | 01:44 |
| filifunk | kevr: yup | 01:44 |
| Bashing-om | kevr: See filifunk's https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/7sV3Jxn9JK/ . In particular ip r >> default via 192.168.0.1 dev enp2s0 proto static metric 100 . Where status is set for some reason and all we look at is DHCP set-up . | 01:45 |
| Bashing-om | status/static* | 01:46 |
| kevr | interesting | 01:46 |
| kevr | i see, so the paste this time was different because the auto connection was removed from nm | 01:46 |

| kevr | i see an extra period after the 192.168.0.0 | 01:49 |
| filifunk | kevr: I'm going to reboot | 01:50 |
| kevr | filifunk: sure | 01:50 |
| kevr | it looks like he has an incorrect static route there, if the trailing . is indeed true | 01:50 |
| headrx | no ideas? | 01:51 |
| filifunk | kevr: annnnnd it works! | 01:52 |
| kevr | sweet | 01:52 |
| filifunk | kevr: so just to kind of recap | 01:52 |
| kevr | can i ask for your attention for a few more minutes, however? | 01:52 |
| filifunk | kevr: me? yeah | 01:53 |
| kevr | ya | 01:53 |
| kevr | sure, sorry, go on | 01:53 |
| filifunk | kevr: so I came in asking for some code to automatically input a command that turns on that dhcp service. But you wanted to get in even before that because some other program was distracting it or something. The place to find out was in the interfaces file and you just set it up so it gets the dhcp going before any weirdness happened? | 01:54 |
| kevr | not exactly | 01:54 |
| kevr | let me explain a bit how networking is setup by default on ubuntu | 01:55 |
| filifunk | kevr: ok | 01:55 |
| kevr | first of all, /etc/network/interfaces is a very old file. originally, it was the file that the OS used at boot to configure interfaces with its default service | 01:55 |
| kevr | now, since then, a lot has changed, and systemd has been adopted as the primary "service" daemon on the OS, this introduces "new" services that replace the old version | 01:56 |
| Bashing-om | kevr: 192.168.0.1 should be correct .. ping and verify ? | 01:56 |
| kevr | called systemd-networkd (for base interface setups) | 01:56 |
| kevr | after systemd-networkd, usually there is a program that actually manages your connections | 01:56 |
| kevr | on Ubuntu, they use this thing called Network Manager, and it comes with the little network icon applet in your system tray | 01:57 |
| kevr | That program tells Ubuntu to reconfigure the underlying items when you change them in the GUI | 01:57 |
| kevr | However, I happen to know that /etc/network/interfaces is still supported at the low level for back-compatibility purposes | 01:57 |
| kevr | You see, when you pasted the address info to me (currently), it looked like there was no service at all doing anything for your interface | 01:58 |
| kevr | Basically what happens is, ubuntu runs through systemd-networkd, it finds out which interfaces its supposed to configure | 01:58 |
| kevr | then, when it knows, it brings them up, and does some subsequent stuff depending on what you set (static, dhcp, whtaever) | 01:58 |
| kevr | What I believe is that yesterday when you set the static IP, that you actually typo'd the default gateway on accident | 01:59 |
| kevr | or not the default gateway, but your static route for 192.168.0.0/24 | 01:59 |
| filifunk | kevr: how did I set the static IP...I don't remember, was there some command I did that set it? | 02:00 |
| kevr | in other words, today's problem is different than yesterday's problem | 02:00 |
| kevr | filifunk: you must have done it in Network Manager GUI | 02:00 |
| filifunk | kevr: ok | 02:00 |
| kevr | filifunk: so what i would suggest honestly... one sec | 02:00 |
| chenchenchen | hello world | 02:01 |
| kevr | filifunk: https://wiki.debian.org/NetworkManager | 02:02 |
| kevr | filifunk: some of this information is a little different, because that's the debian wiki | 02:02 |
| kevr | first, i would check to see what "managed" is set to in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf | 02:02 |
| kevr | then, i would go into the little network gui applet thingy and check your stuff out | 02:02 |
| kevr | make sure you see your interface, that its set to auto and dhcp | 02:03 |
| kevr | etc | 02:03 |
| kevr | basically you wanna make sure that's in sync with what you want | 02:03 |
| kevr | eventually, they'll probably stop supporting /etc/network/interfaces (in years) | 02:03 |
| filifunk | kevr: ok, managed is false | 02:03 |
| kevr | set it to true | 02:04 |
| kevr | with an editor like you did before | 02:04 |
| kevr | then restart the service with `systemctl restart network-manager` | 02:04 |
| filifunk | kevr: ok, I am reconnected | 02:05 |
| kevr | sweet | 02:05 |
| kevr | alright, now open up the little network icon in your tray | 02:05 |
| kevr | and go through it and look at your interfaces and stuff | 02:05 |
| kevr | just do a check | 02:05 |
| filifunk | kevr: I think I'm unsure what to check for....if it says managed is true as well here? | 02:06 |
| kevr | is there an enp2s0 device or whatever somewhere? | 02:07 |
| kevr | Auto enp2s0 | 02:07 |
| filifunk | kevr: I see a bunch of IP addresses, default routes, etc | 02:07 |
| kevr | Auto Ethernet | 02:07 |
| filifunk | kevr: there is an "ifupdown (enp2s0)" | 02:07 |
| kevr | hmm, i should really get more familiar with network manager :) | 02:08 |
| kevr | sec | 02:08 |
| Bashing-om | filifunk: confirm this is a desktop machine . | 02:08 |
| filifunk | Bashing-om: yes, desktop | 02:09 |
| Bashing-om | filifunk: K; then you can get awa7y wuth setting managed=true and use "/etc/network/interfaces" file for control. | 02:10 |
| kevr | filifunk: is there "Network Connections" somewhere? | 02:10 |
| Bashing-om | away with* | 02:10 |
| filifunk | Bashing-om: ok, sounds good | 02:10 |
| filifunk | kevr: yep, I am looking at it right now | 02:11 |
| kevr | cool yeah, so as long as you see your adapter in there and stuff | 02:11 |
| filifunk | kevr: yep! | 02:11 |
| kevr | you should be able to edit it and see DHCP set and stuff | 02:11 |
| kevr | alright cool man | 02:11 |
| kevr | now just try to use the applet in the future alright? | 02:11 |
| kevr | im 99% sure it was just a typo yesterday :) | 02:11 |
| filifunk | kevr: actually when I click on "ifupdown (enp2s0)" the Edit button ghosts on me | 02:12 |
| kevr | oh yeah? | 02:12 |
| filifunk | kevr: ok lol | 02:12 |
| kevr | is that the only interface? | 02:12 |
| filifunk | kevr: yes that's the only one, I have old Wi-fi connections and the edit button is available for those | 02:12 |
| kevr | ah i see, so that managed=true makes it forced to be managed by /etc/network/interfaces | 02:12 |
| kevr | interesting | 02:12 |
| kevr | well you'll be fine, just keep those pages bookmarked :) | 02:13 |
| kevr | they show setups for static and stuff too | 02:13 |
| filifunk | kevr: ok! haha. I feel comfortable just being happy to have internet come on automatically :) | 02:14 |

| kevr | actually, that's most likely the best way, as the deb can track the files it installs and take care of cleaning things up in case you need to | 02:50 |

| kevr | also version upgrades, etc. | 02:50 |

| pj25 | http://magaimg.net/img/wqz.jpg http://magaimg.net/img/wqz.jpg | 03:02 |
| hays_ | kevr: yeah, I guess what is weird is that the .deb usually has a version number associated with it | 03:03 |
| kevr | hays_: it doesn't actually matter what the version is though | 03:03 |
| kevr | you could literally make it 1.0 forever if you want | 03:03 |
| kevr | dpkg -i blah.deb overrides it anyways | 03:03 |
| kevr | hays_: i usually just extract the version off of something in the project | 03:04 |
| kevr | maybe git rev count, something like that | 03:04 |
| kevr | segment it into parts | 03:04 |
| hays_ | how might I make it so that apt see it | 03:05 |
| kevr | well | 03:05 |
| kevr | you would have to host your own repository for that | 03:05 |
| hays_ | is there a dirt simple way to host a single .deb repository? heh | 03:05 |
| kevr | hays_: https://askubuntu.com/questions/367147/how-to-host-a-repository-like-ppa-in-my-own-site | 03:05 |
| kevr | however | 03:06 |
| kevr | if you do it that way | 03:06 |
| kevr | apt-get upgrade isnt going to upgrade it if it's the same version | 03:06 |
| kevr | so you're going to need some kind of version bump. | 03:06 |

| Striking7 | Your milage may vary | 04:31 |
| Striking7 | Wild_Man: that's true. UEFI can trip things up sometimes, depending on the variant | 04:31 |

| dnivra | Hello everyone! I'm trying to remove kernels 4.4 installed from 16.04 which are still around after upgrading to 18.04. The packages are not available and so apt can't uninstall them. How can I uninstall kernels from a previous distro version? | 05:39 |
| guiverc | dnivra, have you tried `sudo apt-get autoremove` (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RemoveOldKernels says autremove --purge though) | 05:46 |
| dnivra | guiverc: Yes I did try autoremove. It didn't uninstall the linux kernel 4.4 though. | 05:48 |
| guiverc | just a guess; but if you only very recently upgraded; it may not want to remove it until there are more 'recent' kernels - ie. it's count of 'recent' has it included.. (I think the count is 4, but can be altered & i'm not sure sorry) | 05:50 |
| madLyfe | tomreyn: ty. if i wanted to try out different DEs should i add them to ubuntu or should i try kbuntu or kde neon? | 05:52 |
| dnivra | guiverc: Actually there are newer kernels: I'm running linux 4.15.0.32 and there's 4.15.0.30 as well. I think because linux 4.4 is old and doesn't belong to bionic's package repos. That's probably why autoremove doesn't remove them. | 05:52 |
| rangemonger | autoremove usually leave one older kernel on | 05:54 |
| rangemonger | *leaves | 05:54 |
| tomreyn | madLyfe: i'd usually add more DEs to the existing installation. but if you later decide to remove them and want to make sure everything you dont need is gone, this can take a while. so if you want to prevent this, a separate installation can make sense if its just fortestign and you're yet unsure as to whether you'll keep it. | 05:56 |
| madLyfe | that makes sense | 05:56 |
| madLyfe | is it possible so that grub will pick up inserted usb drives? for say like booting into a live usb? | 05:57 |

| tomreyn | madLyfe: there is grub-imageboot for isos + HDD images. didnt work for me out of the box, but i didt try to fiddle with it. | 05:59 |
| tomreyn | oswald: where does it say that you should use getdeb? | 06:00 |
| tomreyn | oswald: and yes, getdeb is unfortunately down for some days now (and hasn't seen updates for quite a while) | 06:00 |
| oswald | tomreyn: on the github documentation https://github.com/jaagr/polybar, it just says its available there | 06:01 |
| oswald | when i try to install it manually it says a package 'xcb-proto' is missing not sure how to install it | 06:01 |

| Aaron | oswald: type /nickserv help register | 06:02 |
| oswald | what does -f do | 06:02 |
| tomreyn | fix broken | 06:03 |
| oswald | ok ty | 06:03 |
| oswald | but with ubuntu 18.04 i need to do apt-get or only apt? | 06:04 |
| tomreyn | Guest76340: you'll *need* to use the existing one, since there should only be one per disk. | 06:04 |
| tomreyn | oswald: either is fine. apt is designed to be more user freidnly, while apt-get is better suitable for scripting | 06:05 |
| Flannel | osw187: apt is just a combination of apt-get, apt-cache, and some other apt-* things. To make it so you don't need to remember whther to use apt-cache or apt-get | 06:07 |
| tomreyn | dnivra: what's the error message you get when you try to uninstall them with apt? normally this should just work fine even when the apt source is no longer available | 06:07 |

| tomreyn | dnivra: so either the name is not spelled correctly or it has since been removed | 06:11 |

| osw187 | i can't find polybar on the getdeb link you sent me tomreyn | 06:17 |
| tomreyn | dnivra: one of your outputs is that of apt-get, the other is of apt, this may explain the different messages | 06:21 |
| tomreyn | dnivra: you can always dpkg -r or -P a package, too. | 06:22 |
| laoguan | hello | 06:22 |
| Guest76340 | what packages usually hold defines/macros such as R_X86_64_GOT64 | 06:22 |
| tomreyn | (but it's not ideal, doesn't take dependencies into account) | 06:22 |
| tomreyn | osw187: maybe it's not there anymore. try finding a different ppa | 06:23 |
| dnivra | tomreyn: Ah sorry about that. I tried running both with apt but there was no difference. And dpkg -r doesn't work either. I believe the problem is that the linux 4.4. packages are not present in 18.04 and so apt/dpkg can't recognize them. | 06:24 |
| Flannel | dnivra: If the package is installed, dpkg still knows about it. | 06:24 |
| Flannel | dnivra: can you pastebin `dpkg -l | grep linux-*` | 06:25 |
| tomreyn | dnivra: if dpkg -r can't remove them, they're not installed. if they're installed, dpkg -l would list them | 06:27 |
| dnivra | Flannel: Here's the output: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/RSDVGmnv4J/ | 06:28 |
| Flannel | dnivra: Ok. That doesn't show any 4.4 kernels. What makes you think you still have them installed? | 06:28 |
| dnivra | tomreyn, Flannel: I have the linux kernel 4.4 files in /boot. | 06:29 |
| Flannel | dnivra: which files? | 06:29 |
| dnivra | So I upgraded from 16.04 to 18.04 and I think the 4.4 kernels were not uninstalled during the upgrade. | 06:30 |
| Flannel | dnivra: Can you give an example of one of the 4.4 files in /boot? | 06:30 |
| Flannel | dnivra: Are you dualbooting this machine or anything like that? | 06:30 |
| dnivra | Flannel: Here are the files in /boot - https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/TkRkJZrs5J/. And no I'm not dual booting - 1 Ubuntu installation only. | 06:31 |
| Flannel | dnivra: Alright, what does `dpkg -S /boot/initrd.img-4.4.0-130-generic` give you? (I think I typed that correctly, go ahead and tab complete it!) | 06:32 |
| dnivra | Flannel: That was correct :). dpkg-query says "no path found matching pattern /boot/initrd.img-4.4.0-130-generic" | 06:34 |
| Flannel | dnivra: Those 4.4 files aren't controlled by dpkg. Which means they either were installed outside of dpkg/apt, or you somehow deleted the knowledge of their package from dpkg. Since that's the case, nothing bad will happen if you just rm those files. | 06:34 |
| Flannel | This isn't a normal thing. If the files were a part of a package (and nothing was corrupted or anything in your package database), it doesn't matter *what* happens in the repos, dpkg will still know about the packages on your machine (because dpkg doesn't know/care about the repos) | 06:35 |
| Flannel | So you could have files installed from a kernel from a decade ago, and they'd still be there until you removed them. | 06:35 |
| Flannel | "they" being the files *and* knowledge of the package in dpkg. | 06:36 |
| Shibe9 | http://magaimg.net/img/wqz.jpg http://magaimg.net/img/wqz.jpg | 06:36 |
| dnivra | Flannel: Ah I see. Honestly I'm not sure dpkg doesn't know about them. I simply installed 18.04 without formatting / and that's it. I had some problems with EFI but I don't think that's relevant here. | 06:36 |
| dnivra | Anyhow it's safe to just rm them so I'll go ahead and do that. | 06:37 |
| Flannel | OOh | 06:37 |
| Flannel | dnivra: You installed it over top? not upgraded? | 06:37 |
| Flannel | dnivra: I am 100% sure that dpkg doesn't know about them (otherwise dpkg -S would tell you what package they came from) | 06:37 |
| dnivra | Flannel: Yeah installed over top. I just realized I probably wasn't clear about that part in my original query. | 06:38 |
| Flannel | dnivra: So, when you installed overtop, that is NOT an upgrade. You literally just made the installer put all of its packages/files on the same file systems as before. It doesn't clean them. So the NEW dpkg database replaced the OLD dpkg database by overwriting it entirely. | 06:38 |
| Flannel | dnivra: So, you've probably got a *lot* of files that are potentially just sitting around. | 06:39 |
| Flannel | It's like unzipping a file that contains "B.txt" into a directory that already contained A.txt. You end up with a directory containing A.txt and B.txt. | 06:39 |
| Flannel | Except dpkg only knows it unzipped B.txt, so it knows nothing about A.txt | 06:40 |
| dnivra | Flannel: Thanks for the explanation! Makes sense. And sorry about the wrong terminology: I completely mislead everyone. | 06:41 |
| dnivra | Yeah lot's of files surely: at bare minimum the two kernels. Going to be a huge problem tracking them all. | 06:41 |
| dnivra | I guess I was probably better off upgrading or formatting / than this :). | 06:41 |
| Flannel | dnivra: No worries. We figured it out. Doing this sort of "upgrade" is certainly not best practices. But other than extra HDD space, it /probably/ won't cause any major headaches. | 06:42 |
| Flannel | dnivra: If you move /home to a separate partition, you can always reinstall "around" /home and have a clean install. | 06:43 |
| Flannel | dnivra: anyway, if you have anything behaving funnily in the future, extra files (especially like "old configuration files" or whatever) is probably a good place to check first. | 06:43 |

| jeremies | Is safe to run amule in ubuntu? | 06:45 |
| dnivra | Flannel: Right. I used to do the separate /home but then I used to run out of space on / with lots of space on /home or vice versa. I decided it's better to just have a single / after that. | 06:45 |
| dnivra | I will keep in mind about the old config files causing issues when debugging any future problems. Thanks for that tip1 | 06:46 |
| Flannel | dnivra: Or use LVM! So you can resize dynamically! | 06:46 |
| Flannel | dnivra: But yeah, partition size management is something that takes a bit to get a feel for your use-cases. | 06:47 |
| Flannel | dnivra: You *could* always migrate to a separate /home, reinstall, then migrate back to a combined one. If the "bonus files" become an issue in the future. | 06:47 |
| dnivra | Flannel: I've never tried out LVM so that's something I will check out. Looks interesting. And yeah, the other solution is always there: migrate, reinstall and go back to single /. | 06:49 |
| dnivra | Thanks for those tips! | 06:49 |

| ph88 | i tried mainline kernel 4.16 which really fixed some problems for me. But not all problems are gone .. should i also try 4.17 and 4.18 ? | 08:04 |
| === Richard is now known as Guest93940 | ||
| ducasse | ph88: look for bug reports on your problem, see if it is fixed in later kernels | 08:18 |
| guiverc | ph88, 4.16 is not a Ubuntu supported kernel from what I can see; 4.15 & 4.17 are (18.10 currently uses 4.17) so I'd suggest using a supported patched Ubuntu kernel so it's automatically patched; I suspect 4.16 you'd have to update yourself security wise, but I don't know (opinion only) | 08:19 |
| guiverc | (my point was I'd try 4.17 due to Ubuntu Support .. 18.10 may go 4.18 before launch..; but it's only a short-term-support kernel anyway for Ubuntu).. but you do what's right for your issue.. | 08:21 |

| ph88 | guiverc, if i install 4.17 kernel will it automatically update with normal software updates ? | 08:27 |
| enaut[m] | anyone could help me with the dput issue? | 08:27 |
| EriC^ | Dreaman: why you want to upgrade to 18.10? it's unreleased still, might have issues | 08:28 |
| guiverc | ph88, what release are you on? 18.04 LTS (with HWE enabled) will soon use 18.10 kernel, where by it would get updated I'd assume if using 18.10 and have HWE enabled (depends on how you installed it I bet), if other release, I doubt it... | 08:28 |
| Dreaman | a use 18.04 lts and new kernel | 08:28 |
| ducasse | ph88: no, not until a later kernel is released (which won't happen for a long time) | 08:28 |
| Dreaman | no need | 08:28 |
| Dreaman | change name in repo | 08:29 |
| Dreaman | upgreat | 08:29 |
| Dreaman | use 14 years ubuntu | 08:29 |
| guiverc | yeah, my "soon" wasn't real accurate; will be after 18.10 is released... | 08:29 |
| EriC^ | !mainline | Dreaman does this help? | 08:29 |
| ubottu | Dreaman does this help?: The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds | 08:29 |
| EriC^ | Dreaman: you can install newer kernels on your current ubuntu | 08:29 |
| Dreaman | no need help me | 08:30 |
| Dreaman | i now | 08:30 |
| ph88 | guiverc, how do you know that 18.04 will get 18.10 kernel ? | 08:31 |
| ducasse | ph88: that's how hwe works | 08:32 |
| Dreaman | http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ | 08:32 |
| guiverc | ph88, by default 18.04 sticks with 18.04's kernel, but with HWE enabled, it moves to 18.10, 19.04, 19.10 then 20.04 when released... | 08:32 |
| Dreaman | just update | 08:32 |
| guiverc | ph88, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack | 08:32 |
| Dreaman | wath is the problem | 08:32 |
| EriC^ | Dreaman: if you want to update then "sudo do-release-upgrade -d" takes you to 18.10 | 08:33 |
| Dreaman | no work | 08:33 |
| ducasse | Dreaman: the problem is that mainline kernels are unsupported and don't have the patches regular ubuntu kernels do | 08:33 |
| EriC^ | Dreaman: type grep -i prompt /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades | 08:34 |
| EriC^ | Dreaman: type "grep -i prompt /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades" | 08:34 |
| ph88 | ducasse, 4.17 gets regular minor updates why you say no new update in a long time ? | 08:34 |
| Dreaman | EriC^ name | 08:35 |
| Dreaman | new | 08:35 |
| Dreaman | just change | 08:35 |

| BluesKaj | quim, nope | 10:07 |
| quim | you only see quim ? | 10:08 |
| guiverc | JadedJ, what do you mean autocomplete? if you hit tab twice, you should see the options (many commands start with 'ta' | 10:08 |
| BluesKaj | only one allowed per server | 10:08 |
| BluesKaj | quim,^ | 10:08 |
| guiverc | JadedJ, even at three characters; `tar` could be 3 commands on my machine, so autocomplete on a single tab isn't yet available... | 10:10 |

| guiverc | mezod, i'd just create the file on the machine being used, then `scp` it do the machine you want it on, then delete it on used.machine... (ie. I've never wanted a better method than that) | 10:45 |

| MeiR | what would be the best way to log his ssh logins and commands, and any file uploads \ modifications? (maybe there're more things that don't come to my mind) | 10:47 |
| mezod | hmm that's confusing | 10:48 |
| ppf | MeiR: with root access? none | 10:48 |
| MeiR | ppf, why? because he'll have anyway access for stopping these logs? | 10:48 |
| guiverc | Trangar, splash hides the startup-text-messages; 'ie. quiet splash', so i can't see how getting rid of slash would help.. -- i think you need to select a new plymouth screen https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Plymouth | 10:49 |
| ppf | yes | 10:49 |
| MeiR | ppf, let's assume he won't dig to that level, therefore he won't know | 10:49 |
| guiverc | Trangar, this is easier https://askubuntu.com/questions/2007/how-do-i-change-the-plymouth-bootscreen (use 65-up-vote answer) | 10:49 |
| MeiR | in addition, if it helps, i meant to "su" privileges with his own user, and not the actual root | 10:50 |

| jeremies | How ? | 10:52 |

| wind | you know a fix to network manager disconnecting either wired or wireless soon after boot, and once manually reconnected works infinitely till next boot? still happens to me over several major versions, on totally different computers, no matter what desktop (mate/unity)? | 10:53 |
| jeremies | I try it with hexchat but doesn't work | 10:53 |
| ppf | MeiR: you can enable auditing in pam | 10:53 |
| ppf | MeiR: actually, if you don't give him su but only sudo, and nail that down properly, that'd be much saner | 10:56 |
| jeremies | ppf: hexchat doesn't allow to connect to freenode with tor network | 10:56 |
| ppf | and also auditable with sudoreplay | 10:57 |
| ppf | jeremies: and why's that | 10:57 |
| MeiR | ppf, i added him inside "visudo" with: ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL | 10:57 |
| jeremies | ppf: using this certificate copied from another user created from my pc | 10:57 |
| MeiR | it's considered only sudo, isn't it? | 10:57 |
| ppf | jeremies: why | 10:57 |
| ppf | MeiR: yes, but after sudo su - it's not | 10:58 |
| jeremies | ppf: I followed the tutorial in https://medium.com/@defcon201/tutorial-connecting-to-freenode-via-tor-like-a-boss-f8d74199b634 but the nickname that puts freenode then is my ubuntu username and I don't want that | 10:58 |
| MeiR | how can i tell if he's allowed to "su -" ? | 10:58 |
| jeremies | then I created a new username in ubuntu and created a openssl certificate with this username | 10:58 |
| jeremies | after copying it to my real username it won't work | 10:59 |
| MeiR | to "sudo su" * | 10:59 |
| ppf | MeiR: he's alloed | 10:59 |
| MeiR | ok, so can i please know how should i implement your suggestion: "if you don't give him su but only sudo"? | 11:00 |
| ppf | jeremies: better ask this in #hexchat | 11:00 |
| jeremies | ok, thanks ppf | 11:01 |
| ppf | MeiR: whitelist the commands he's allowed to use | 11:01 |
| Fuchs | jeremies: where does it put that user? Also you can use hexchat to connect via Tor, you just need to SASL external, we have manuals for that on our website (freenode.net) | 11:01 |

| jeremies | Fuchs: in my nickname. Now is jeremies, because I'm not connected through tor. But if I connect throught tor it becomes quim (my desktop pc username) | 11:04 |
| Fuchs | that's configureable and unrealted to the certificate | 11:04 |
| Fuchs | *unrelated, even | 11:05 |
| jeremies | Fuchs: yes I can do /nick newNick | 11:05 |
| jeremies | when I issue /whois newNick it gives quim@tor... | 11:06 |
| Fuchs | that's the ident | 11:06 |

| jeremies | or something like that | 11:06 |
| Fuchs | as far as I am aware it has to be the same as your registered nick in order to get SASL to work, but it's definitely configureable in hexchat (and every other sane client) | 11:06 |
| Fuchs | I'm rather sure the config is called "username" in hexchat, where you configure the network as well | 11:07 |

| zoli__ | hello, i have installed clementine music player, but I can only start it from command line, it is missing from the dash menu | 11:22 |
| zoli__ | altough there is a dekstop file for that, but it seems it is somehow not considered | 11:23 |
| zoli__ | why is that? | 11:23 |
| zoli__ | /usr/share/applications/clementine.desktop | 11:23 |
| Tin_man | zoli__, how did you install it? | 11:24 |
| zoli__ | Tin_man: via Synaptic | 11:24 |
| zoli__ | and not as a snap app | 11:24 |
| zoli__ | when i try to start it and type clementine in the gnome3 app search box, it only offers me another clementine to install as as snap app, instead of showing the already installed clemetine. The 2 apps have different icons too | 11:26 |
| Tin_man | hmm, don't know, does it show up as a removable Application? | 11:26 |
| zoli__ | in synaptic? yes | 11:27 |
| Tin_man | i have also 2 different versions in the Ubuntu Software center | 11:27 |
| zoli__ | yes | 11:27 |
| zoli__ | there are 2 vesions | 11:28 |
| zoli__ | 1 is a snap app, the other is the nomal app | 11:28 |
| zoli__ | i installed the normal app | 11:28 |
| Tin_man | maybe try removing it, and install the other one. :) just a guess.. | 11:28 |
| zoli__ | yeah, but i dont want to use the snap version :) | 11:28 |
| zoli__ | it takes up much more space | 11:28 |
| zoli__ | as well as memeory | 11:29 |
| Tin_man | have you tried rebooting? again just a shot in the dark.. | 11:29 |
| hadifarnoud | is there a way to prevent root password change in scenarios like rescue mode? | 11:29 |
| zoli__ | sure, i have installed it several days ago | 11:30 |
| zoli__ | hadifarnoud: no | 11:30 |

| boritek | ioria: that is already set, but the problem here is that, I the app icon does not show up at all in my dash menu | 11:52 |

| opentext | thank you. just trying to be helpful :) | 11:54 |
| boritek | ioria: i cannot see the icon, so I cannot start it either, I can only start it from the command line | 11:54 |
| ioria | boritek, sudo apt install --reinstall clementine | 11:54 |
| boritek | the weird thing is that i can see 2 desktop files: | 11:55 |

| boritek | /usr/share/applications/clementine.desktop | 11:55 |
| boritek | i renamed the first one, to /usr/share/app-install/desktop/clementine:clementine.desktop2 and restarted gnome-shell | 11:55 |
| boritek | but it didnt help either | 11:55 |
| ioria | boritek, you can always make a custom launche in ~/.local/share/applications | 11:56 |
| boritek | ioria: reinstalling didnt help me either | 11:56 |
| ioria | boritek, revert the changes you did first | 11:57 |
| boritek | ioria: do you also have both of these files? | 11:58 |
| ioria | boritek, yes | 11:58 |
| boritek | reinstalling didnt provide the /usr/share/app-install/desktop/clementine:clementine.desktop file | 11:58 |
| ioria | boritek, ps -A | grep clem | 11:59 |
| boritek | i can see only my renamed old file /usr/share/app-install/desktop/clementine:clementine.desktop2 | 11:59 |

| boritek | ioria: what is that file btw? | 12:00 |
| ioria | boritek, .desktop files ; an application gets registered into the desktop's menus through a desktop entry | 12:02 |
| boritek | ioria: i know, I mean that destop file in that different folder in /usr/share/app-install/desktop/ | 12:03 |
| boritek | and the desktop file in there is differentr than the one in /usr/share/applications/ | 12:04 |
| ioria | boritek, those are installed by the app-install-data Install app-install-data package. | 12:04 |

| ioria | boritek, but that it's not the point here | 12:05 |
| qwebirc59278 | second, i also have an ssd in my laptop which used to have windows installed. since i didnt have a big enough usb stick i decided to not install windows. its still installed on the ssd tho. is there a way to reach that SSD_ | 12:06 |
| boritek | ioria: I purged, autoremoved it (for the dependencies) and installed it again | 12:07 |
| boritek | but didnt help | 12:07 |
| ioria | boritek, make a custom launche in ~/.local/share/applications just for test | 12:07 |
| boritek | ioria: the custom local one works | 12:08 |
| boritek | but no clue why the central desktop one does not | 12:09 |
| ioria | boritek, did you edit it ? | 12:09 |
| boritek | no | 12:09 |
| boritek | just copied it over | 12:09 |
| ppf | using a newer gcc from ubuntu-toolchain-r doesn't work either because reasons :( | 12:09 |
| ppf | so the only thing i _can_ do is downgrade | 12:09 |
| boritek | ioria: from /usr/share/applications/clementine.desktop | 12:09 |
| ppf | but: https://ghostbin.com/paste/9dpcz | 12:10 |

| linux8659 | mate has it ,along with an easy suspend button access ,it s a shame | 14:37 |
| tomreyn | thearkon: wont work if you'll be creating the partitions before you start the server live installer. (with the alternative installer it should work, and so should manual partitioning from within the server live installer, for the most part) | 14:38 |
| blackflow | linux8659: so you're actually asking about what leftyfb linked, a wall _clock_ with multiple TZs? because "add a second timezone" question implies adding another /etc/timezone or another level to it, which doesn't work.... | 14:40 |

| nicomachus | adroitMachine: that is NOT how you clone a partition. | 14:42 |
| blackflow | adroitMachine: /dev/sda* are not directories, but block devices. you can't use cp like that. now, what do you want to do, block-level copy, or filesystem copy? | 14:42 |
| linux8659 | androitmachine use command dd | 14:43 |
| thearkon | i think i used the wrong installer. used the amd64 live one instead of the 86 installer | 14:44 |
| adroitMachine | blackflow: I have no idea, I was trying to migrate existing partition to a new partition. I saw on internet tutorial. | 14:44 |
| nicomachus | linux8659: that's a very powerful command and one that you shouldn't just tell someone to use without also telling them to carefully read the man page and use extreme caution when actually executing the command. | 14:44 |

| pragmaticenigma | linux8659: A queue in what way? | 14:47 |
| blackflow | if you dd the partition, you block-copy the filesystem on it, which means its' gonna think it's the same size. And you mentioned you want to migrate "existing installation to a new bigger installation" | 14:47 |

| adroitMachine | blackflow: yes, I can see the path in kde partition manager: /dev/sda6 and /dev/sda8 | 14:54 |

| pragmaticenigma | linux8659: I do not believe nautilus has a feature or setting for "queueing" file copying. | 14:55 |
| blackflow | adroitMachine: for example, you could create two dirs: mkdir /mnt/src and mkdir /mnt/dest then mount mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/src and like that to 8 (assuming 6 is source and 8 is destination) | 14:55 |
| thearkon | lotuspsychje: hehe no let me try that .. lol | 14:55 |

| pragmaticenigma | StephanieT, newbie|3: Do you have an Ubuntu related support question | 14:58 |
| thearkon | leaving here bye everyone | 14:58 |
| blackflow | adroitMachine: right, so you mount sda6 to /mnt/src and sda8 to /mnt/dest and then: rsync -a /mnt/src/ /mnt/dest/ (again, note the trailing slashes) | 14:59 |
| lotuspsychje | StephanieT: welcome to ubuntu support, how can we help you? | 14:59 |
| adroitMachine | blackflow: I mounted both the partitions, but i'm still getting the same error: "cp: failed to access '/dev/sda8/*' : Not a directory" | 14:59 |
| blackflow | adroitMachine: btw is that OS root you're copying? | 14:59 |
| blackflow | adroitMachine: why are you running that? I never told you to do that. | 15:00 |
| adroitMachine | blackflow: oh, I missed the rsync part, i will do itagain | 15:00 |
| adroitMachine | blackflow: I'm trying to migrate kubuntu to a bigger partition, i'm referring to this resource: https://www.linuxjournal.com/content/copy-your-linux-install-different-partition-or-drive | 15:00 |
| blackflow | adroitMachine: right. I asked because then don't forget to adjust /etc/fstab and any other config pertaining to the filesystem you're moving. | 15:02 |
| linux8659 | pragmaticenigma thanks ,but it s not in the ub repo ,and it looks like it comes from the windows world (ultracopier) ,plus the page is old (14.04) | 15:02 |
| blackflow | fstab, crypttab, dunno what else you've got there. and grub will have to be updated too | 15:02 |
| Voziv | If I run "snap run slack" from my command line I also get "snap-confine has elevated permissions and is not confined but should be. Refusing to continue to avoid permission escalation attacks" | 15:02 |
| adroitMachine | blackflow: do I need to use sudo for the rsync command? because I can see in the terminal that there are some errors like: failed Permission denied | 15:03 |
| blackflow | adroitMachine: yes. and for the mkdir previously, for the mountpoints in /mnt/ | 15:03 |
| pragmaticenigma | linux8659: It appears someone has been maintaining the answer (edit in 2017) thought it might help point you in the right direction | 15:04 |
| adroitMachine | blackflow: I didnt use sudo for mkdir, but I can see that a folder is created already | 15:04 |
| adroitMachine | blackflow: I'm stopping the rsync command. Gonna do it over again with sudo mkdir | 15:05 |
| linux8659 | pragmaticenigma thanks | 15:05 |
| blackflow | adroitMachine: what exactly did you type? because /mnt/src and /mnt/dest should not exist by default | 15:05 |
| blackflow | adroitMachine: I did warn you not to do this without understanding what you're doing. if you lose your data, that's entirely on YOU. | 15:06 |
| adroitMachine | blackflow: I did sudo mkdir, but it was so far up the terminal that I thought I didn't sudo it. My bad. But the problem is that when I do sudo rsync -a /mnt/src /mnt/dest, the konsole just hangs without any output | 15:07 |
| add1ctus | Heya. When I use my wireless (bluetooth) headphones on Ubuntu 18.04 I'm having lower volume compared to Windows 10 on the same machine. Over-amplification ruins sound quality and alsamixer has everything on max volume. Any ideas how to fix it? | 15:07 |
| blackflow | adroitMachine: of course, it's copying data. add -v to see the paths as they're copied | 15:08 |
| blackflow | adroitMachine: and I really hope you typo'd here in irc, as I told you several times to be careful about trailing slashes. | 15:08 |
| lotuspsychje | add1ctus: a few ideas: try a pulseaudio restart, test also with pavucontrol or doublecheck your settings with !sound | 15:09 |
| adroitMachine | blackflow: yes it is copying all the files in src folder and not on the partition itself, what would I do once the copying is finished/ | 15:11 |
| lotuspsychje | Voziv: have you tryed contacting the slack maintainer yet? | 15:11 |
| blackflow | adroitMachine: the partition is mounted to the src folder isn't it? | 15:12 |
| add1ctus | !sound | 15:12 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 15:12 |
| adroitMachine | blackflow: there's two folder in the target partition: dest and src. The file are being copied onto src | 15:13 |
| blackflow | adroitMachine: that's not..... "target partition". do you mean in /mnt/ ? | 15:13 |
| Voziv | lotuspsychje: Nope, but this also happens with phpstorm, spotify, and htop snaps as well | 15:13 |
| adroitMachine | blackflow: I'm a little confused here. I can't show you because the irc is opened on a different computer. What I mean is I thought the files would be copied onto the new partition itself not in some folder created on the new partition | 15:15 |
| blackflow | adroitMachine: then you didn't listen what I was telling you to do. especially, you didn't understand what the commands do. I warned you several times. | 15:15 |
| blackflow | adroitMachine: so from the beginning: you want copy files from sda6 to sda8, correct? | 15:16 |
| adroitMachine | blackflow: Yes, correct | 15:16 |
| blackflow | adroitMachine: then you mount sda6 to /mnt/src and sda8 to /mnt/dest. you first need to mkdir those dirs in /mnt/ | 15:16 |
| adroitMachine | blackflow: yes I did sudo mkdir in /mnt | 15:16 |
| blackflow | adroitMachine: after you mount them you run rsync like this: rsync -va /mnt/src/ /mnt/dest/ ok? mind the trailing slashes after src/ so: /mnt/src/ and not /mnt/src | 15:16 |
| blackflow | adroitMachine: if you did those three things (mkdir + mount + rsync) then you should be copying files from sda6 to sda8 | 15:17 |
| adroitMachine | blackflow: just a sec | 15:18 |
| adroitMachine | blackflow: I will do it over again, first let me format the partition again. Sorry for the misunderstanding | 15:19 |
| blackflow | adroitMachine: you'll have to unmount it first. umount /dev/sda8 or by mounted path: umount /mnt/dest/ | 15:20 |
| adroitMachine | ok blackflow | 15:20 |
| tkelly | I recently found that neither 18.04 or the 18.10 nightly can boot on the new Intel NUC8i7HNK. Where is the right place to report that as a "bug?" I noticed that Arch 2018.08.01 which happens to be using kernel 4.17.11 can boot it. | 15:21 |
| adroitMachine | blackflow: there is an error: umount: mnt: target is busy | 15:21 |
| blackflow | tkelly: any errors visible during booting? I'm tempted to say file against the kernel, but that needn't be the case | 15:21 |
| blackflow | adroitMachine: do you have any open files there? is your shell currently cd'd into that path? | 15:22 |
| mustmodify | Continuing with my production issue affecting 200+ users... my buffer is 5GB, total memory is 7.5GB. | 15:22 |
| tkelly | It gets to the very first menu (GRUB?) and then goes blank no matter what you select, which is why I suspect the kernel. early_printk gave nothing | 15:22 |
| mustmodify | First, is there an easy way to clear that out? | 15:22 |
| adroitMachine | blackflow: no, nothing is open, I even closed the dolphin. Just the terminal is open | 15:22 |
| mustmodify | Second, how do I triage that? I feel like our software must have introduced a memory leak, but I wouldn't expect that to increase the OS buffer... but I don't really know enough about that to speak intelligently about it. | 15:23 |
| lotuspsychje | mustmodify: if you want your issue sorted, please add all the details in one line to channel | 15:23 |
| lotuspsychje | !details | mustmodify | 15:23 |
| ubottu | mustmodify: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information; for example, we might need errors, steps, relevant configuration files, Ubuntu version, and hardware information. Use a !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel. | 15:23 |
| blackflow | adroitMachine: does `lsof /mnt/dest` show any output? | 15:23 |
| === kostkon_ is now known as kostkon | ||
| blackflow | tkelly: tried booting with no "splash" and "quiet" keywords in kernel command line? | 15:24 |
| adroitMachine | blackflow: Yes, there's a warnign: cant stat() tracefs file system /sys/kernel/debug/tracing output information may be incomplete | 15:24 |
| mustmodify | details... well, here's a screen shot of top. https://media.trillian.im/media/?m=aW1hZ2UvcG5nLDE0MjksNDc4LO%2BkFcLMANYGXr58NZkSd59j6d85RT1lrbz8P1ofTgCu | 15:25 |
| blackflow | adroitMachine: I think rebooting to the live env would be faster than trying to debug what's up with that :) | 15:25 |
| mustmodify | I'm on 16.04.3 | 15:25 |
| adroitMachine | ok blackflow | 15:25 |
| blackflow | adroitMachine: I'm assuming you're doing this from the kubuntu live iso? | 15:25 |
| lotuspsychje | mustmodify: update your system to latest please | 15:26 |
| tkelly | blackflow: Honestly, I've been playing around with Debian too (same issue) and I don't remember what I've tried on Debian vs Ubuntu. I'll try with no splash and quiet on Ubuntu before filing a bug against the kernel. | 15:26 |
| jje | tkelly: i have a NUC8i7HNK and got 18.04 to boot by initially using nomodeset in kernel command line. | 15:26 |
| adroitMachine | yes, blackflow . One more thing, which one is right: sudo mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/src or sudo mount /dev/sda6/ mnt/src/ | 15:26 |
| blackflow | mustmodify: also, what's the actual problem? that's just a screenie of top.... | 15:26 |
| blackflow | adroitMachine: /mnt has to start with the slash as that's the full system path | 15:27 |
| tkelly | jje: Awesome! I'll try that. | 15:27 |
| lotuspsychje | mustmodify: ubuntu 16.04.5 is out.. | 15:27 |
| blackflow | adroitMachine: no starting slash means it's relative to whatever directory you're currently in. | 15:27 |
| adroitMachine | blackflow: what about the trailing slash in /mnt/src/? | 15:27 |
| GreenDimond | So I just booted up this morning and for whatever reason, Display 0 (My first monitor) is stuck at 640x480 resolution and there is no larger display options. | 15:28 |
| blackflow | adroitMachine: the trailing slash (at the end of /mnt/src/) is about rsync, it tells the rsync to copy files from _under_ that dir, otherwise it'll copy that dir over so you'd have /mnt/dest/src/.... as the result. | 15:28 |
| adroitMachine | blackflow: because in the rsync command trailing slash are important, I was just wondering about the traling slash in mnt command | 15:28 |
| blackflow | adroitMachine: more about rsync and paths is available in the rsync manpage: `man rsync` | 15:28 |
| blackflow | adroitMachine: in mount the trailing slash makes no difference | 15:29 |
| adroitMachine | ok thanks blackflow. Can I boot into the original kubuntu and copy the directory from there? would that be easy? | 15:29 |
| mustmodify | the problem is that we're seeing "out of memory" which results in killing puma, our web server. I had assumed our software had a memory leak. But in the screen shot above, you can see that of 7.x GB of ram, a majority of it is in the buffer. I don't know enough about the buffer to even say whether that could be a memory leak or some kind of OS issue. 4.4.0-1057-aws | 15:29 |
| blackflow | adroitMachine: not really as the OS root has stuff mounted on itself (like /dev, /sys, /proc) so you'd have to do it differently. plus, live OS has stuff changing so it wouldn't be an atomic copy, possibly even some files corrupt | 15:30 |
| blackflow | adroitMachine: the live env approach is the correct one. an alternative to rsync is using dd with block devices, but then you'd have to resize the partition, check uuid conflicts etc... | 15:31 |
| adroitMachine | ok blackflow . Thanks for the info. I'm doing the copy all over again, starting with formating the sda8 | 15:31 |
| blackflow | mustmodify: is that a modified aws kernel? is that even ubuntu? | 15:32 |
| blackflow | mustmodify: anyway looking at top might not be sufficient. you could have transient memory spikes never registered in top, that invoke the oom killer | 15:32 |
| mustmodify | Can you help me to understand a bit more about that? | 15:33 |
| Voziv | lotuspsychje: Just as an update, it seems apparmor was disabled on my machine, enabling that seems to have fixed it | 15:33 |
| lotuspsychje | Voziv: ah nice, tnx for feedback! | 15:33 |
| Voziv | I must have messed with it at some point, no clue | 15:34 |
| blackflow | mustmodify: not sure what you need to understand more. top has refresh passes. a memory spike can be quick and can occur between two top passes. | 15:34 |
| blackflow | mustmodify: personally, I'd limit services so that cumulatively their limits don't pass over available RAM. or else you're overselling and that's bad | 15:35 |
| mustmodify | blackflow: what increases the buffer size? Is that something the app can do? Or is that an OS function? | 15:36 |
| blackflow | mustmodify: what buffer? | 15:37 |
| mustmodify | Is it more likely to do with number of open files, or the heap, or ... just ... how do things get into what's being measured there? | 15:37 |
| mustmodify | I ask because this number, buff/cache, is large and hasn't been in the past. At the same time, I'm seeing memory issues, So that seems like something I should drill into. | 15:39 |
| blackflow | mustmodify: no swap, rihgt? maybe you should add some | 15:40 |
| mustmodify | Typically I would ask Google and read a lot. But right now I'm facing an issue in production where every hour or so, the server dies. So time is not really on my side. :( | 15:40 |
| blackflow | mustmodify: okay so then limit RSS per service via their systemd unit files | 15:41 |
| blackflow | mustmodify: then a process that tries to allocate more will fail, and will probably error out or segfault and that's how you'll know what's eating more than it should. at least it won't bring down your entire machine, esp. if you instruct systemd to restart failed services. | 15:41 |
| mustmodify | OK! I don't know what that means but it sounds like something I can act on. And `df` shows no swap file, which ... is odd. | 15:42 |
| mustmodify | so I can look into both of those. Thank you VERY much! | 15:42 |
| blackflow | mustmodify: why do you run a server if you don't understand what that means...... | 15:42 |
| mustmodify | I'm a dev. | 15:42 |
| blackflow | where's the sysop? | 15:42 |
| blackflow | I mean it's one thing if your personal computing has these issues but then you don't have the urgency of "halp! 200+ users are affected". | 15:43 |
| mustmodify | In the past I have been able to kind of wing it. As this app grows, it seems like I might need someone with more expertise. | 15:43 |
| blackflow | if these states appear and shouldn't be, you need a trained sysop. | 15:43 |
| mustmodify | Agree. | 15:43 |
| mustmodify | I agree. | 15:43 |
| blackflow | okay so meanwhile, add the RSS limits to services (start with that memory hog of a ruby app) and see which one fails. make sure the limits cumulatively don't go beyond system RAM | 15:44 |
| blackflow | mustmodify: also add swap. | 15:44 |
| metrum | Hi guys! I just updated my distro from 16.04 LTS to 18.04. It's dual-booted beside Win 10, and anytime I want to open one of the Window's drives, it requires password. In 16.04 LTS I didn't have to type my pwd. Can I turn it off? | 15:45 |
| adroitMachine | blackflow: I did like rsync the way you told me but it is still copying all the files under the src directory. Do I need to "mv" all files after the copying is finished? | 15:45 |
| blackflow | adroitMachine: what do you mean "copy all the files under the src directory"? | 15:45 |
| blackflow | adroitMachine: pastebin exact commands you're using and first few lines of that `rsync -va ...` command | 15:46 |
| adroitMachine | in the target partition(the partition where i want all the files from destination) there's a folder called "src" and all the files are being copied into it | 15:46 |
| blackflow | first few lines of its output | 15:46 |
| theseb | help! i didn't properly shutdown and now ubuntu VM won't start | 15:46 |
| theseb | what should i do | 15:46 |
| adroitMachine | blackflow: I can't unfortunately, I'm on a differnt computer but i can give you the commadn i typed in the console. Just a sec | 15:46 |
| blackflow | adroitMachine: is there network? you can use wgetpaste or pipe outputs to | nc termbin.com 9999 then paste here the URL you get | 15:47 |
| adroitMachine | blackflow: sudo rsync -va /mnt/src/ /mnt/dest/ | 15:47 |
| blackflow | or pastebinit.... I don't know which one is preferred nowadays, wgetpaste or pastebinit | 15:47 |
| adroitMachine | I did this^ | 15:47 |
| blackflow | adroitMachine: okay, so that's copying files from src/ to dest/ isn't that what you wanted? | 15:47 |
| adroitMachine | I'm going to try to paste bin, blackflow | 15:48 |
| adroitMachine | blackflow: no I wanted to copy all the files from /dev/sda6 to /dev/sda8 | 15:48 |
| blackflow | adroitMachine: but did you mount sda6 to src and sda8 to dest? | 15:48 |
| adroitMachine | yes, I did, blackflow. That's wht I'm trying to tell you. The copying is being done in src folder which is located in /dev/sda8 | 15:49 |
| blackflow | adroitMachine: then you ARE copying from sda6 to sda8 .... you're copying files from their respective filesystems. that's exactly what you want. | 15:49 |
| blackflow | adroitMachine: what do you mean "src folder is located in /dev/sda8" ?? if you did what you say you did, then this doesn't make any sense. | 15:50 |
| blackflow | mkdir + mount + rsync. sda6 to src, sda8 to dest. rsync FROM src/ TO dest/. that's it. | 15:50 |
| adroitMachine | ok blackflow just a sec. I will try to explain the whole thing | 15:50 |
| adroitMachine | blackflow, when i open /dev/sda8 partition in file manager, there are two folders: lost+found and src. The files are being copied in src folder. What I want is to copy all the files in the main partition itself not under any folder | 15:52 |
| blackflow | adroitMachine: if you ran rsync -va /mnt/src/ /mnt/dest/ _exactly_ as typed here (previously mounting sda6 to /mnt/src and sda8 to /mnt/dst), then that's not possible. I think you missed the trailing slash on src/ | 15:54 |
| Carbonme | Hello and Good day, I recovering from an infection on of my Linux system , any other precautions besides scanning with clam-av before I recover my files. | 15:54 |
| mustmodify | blackflow: Do I still want a swap drive if I'm using SSD? | 15:54 |
| adroitMachine | blackflow: ok the internet is working in the laptop. What command do you want me to pastebin? | 15:54 |
| blackflow | mustmodify: yeah, why no. the old myths of ssd and swap should be buried unless you have years old SSD with no modern wear leveling tech. SSDs these days go well into hundreds of TB written | 15:54 |
| blackflow | *why not | 15:55 |
| mustmodify | ok, just wanted to verify. | 15:55 |
| blackflow | mustmodify: https://techreport.com/review/27909/the-ssd-endurance-experiment-theyre-all-dead and that's 3 years old by now. | 15:55 |
| leftyfb | Carbonme: define infection | 15:55 |
| mustmodify | But swap space is typically for for drastic overflow situations, right? That's in my head, though I can't remember any details. | 15:55 |
| mustmodify | Obviously I'm having drastic memory problems, so... | 15:56 |
| blackflow | mustmodify: "drastic overflow" is exactly what you have here, from what I gather :) | 15:56 |
| mustmodify | right | 15:56 |
| blackflow | that is, "stuff that should happen before OOM kicks in" | 15:56 |
| AdroitMachine_ | blackflow: I'm on the irc network. Are there any commands you want me to paste? so that I can show you what I mean | 15:56 |
| mustmodify | but am I correct in thinking that in an optimal situation, a swapfile would be almost unused? | 15:56 |
| blackflow | mustmodify: PLUS, having swap to page out unused RAM even without memory pressure is a good thing. ruby can benefit from that a lot as it tends to load a gazillion of dependencies that just sit in the RAM unused, so they get paged out | 15:57 |
| blackflow | mustmodify: no. there's always some pages that are unused and that the kernel evicts to swap | 15:57 |
| blackflow | _always_ | 15:57 |
| mustmodify | ok | 15:57 |
| GreenDimond | What is the latest Nvidia driver for ubuntu? | 15:57 |
| blackflow | AdroitMachine_: yes, the rsync command and first (say) 10 lines of its output. | 15:57 |
| Carbonme | CD drive keeps opening when I come near it, also the window machine I was using with dual boot also got an infection via email earlier, so I assume it somewhat spread, I just want to get back my ebooks, music, and databases | 16:02 |
| AdroitMachine_ | blackflow: sorry for the delay. The output was too far up. Yes, I did miss a slash after src. Can I do rm -rf in the partition and start over again? | 16:02 |
| blackflow | AdroitMachine_: yes. `ls -la /mnt/dest` will verify there's nothing there after you rm -rf. please be careful, don't use * but name the two dirs specifically for rm. and hit enter after you've double-checked it's correct. | 16:03 |
| leftyfb | Carbonme: your linux desktop was not infected from Windows | 16:04 |
| AdroitMachine_ | blackflow: but I did *. Should I stop the rsync command? | 16:04 |
| leftyfb | Carbonme: I'm going to guess it wasn't infected at all. But either way, reinstall from scratch and restore from backups | 16:04 |
| superman1 | I just upgraded from 16.04 to 18.04 and I was seeing lightdm fail to load and purple screen hang. I went to ctrl+alt+f2 and did a reinstall of lightdm. After reboot I am stuck at login-loop and no network. I only see loopback interface in the ifconfig. ifconfig -a shows all the interfaces. Any suggestions? | 16:04 |
| blackflow | AdroitMachine_: nah. * is okay, that was just precaution from my end since you seem to lack experience and stuff can happen, esp. with rm -rf | 16:04 |
| superman1 | I upgraded using do-release-upgrade | 16:05 |
| ioria | superman1, so gdm3 should be in use | 16:06 |
| AdroitMachine_ | ok blackflow I'm relieved. I was kinda worried that * would do harm | 16:06 |
| superman1 | ioria: i see what did I do wrong. Installing lightdm? | 16:07 |
| === pavlushka_ is now known as pavlushka | ||
| blackflow | AdroitMachine_: nah, it's just that * is expanded by shell to mean "all files and dirs" under the part leading up to it, and that can be very destructive if you're not careful. | 16:07 |
| ioria | superman1, lightdm is default for 16.04, probably already installed | 16:07 |
| Carbonme | Thanks, then I should be fine, I will just scan the flies I need to take from system If there anything | 16:07 |
| blackflow | AdroitMachine_: for example thinking you're in one dir while you're in another and do rm-rf * | 16:08 |
| mustmodify | blackflow: I have a swapfile set up. It isn't being used yet. Would you suggest something like this to purge the buffers, to encourage swapfile use if needed? `free && sync && echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches && free` | 16:08 |
| AdroitMachine_ | blackflow: ok | 16:08 |
| superman1 | I see. Any suggestions? | 16:08 |
| blackflow | mustmodify: no need, the kernel will use it as needed | 16:08 |
| mustmodify | ok | 16:08 |
| nacc | mustmodify: why do you *want* to use swap? | 16:08 |
| ioria | superman1, start with nomodeset parameter | 16:09 |
| blackflow | also dropping caches is useless sa well, kernel already treats them as volatile RAM, discardable and to be used elsewhere on demand | 16:09 |
| blackflow | nacc: nasty OOMs on a prod server, hunting for the cause, this is just a temporary relief with swap, see backlog | 16:09 |
| AdroitMachine_ | blackflow: I need to ask you one thing more. When I'm trying to open some directories which are already copied, there's a lock icon on the folder and when I try to enter in it it says" could not enter, permission denied" | 16:10 |
| blackflow | (so let's not confuse them with contradicting info on whether swap is needed or not ;) ) | 16:10 |
| nacc | blackflow: i meant to force use of swap, in this case, sorry | 16:11 |
| blackflow | AdroitMachine_: right, not all files and dirs are immediately readable to the user you're logged in as (even in live env, you're not root) | 16:11 |
| AdroitMachine_ | ok blackflow. | 16:11 |
| blackflow | nacc: ah. well that. forcing the paging out of stuff that's not immediately needed. I mean, one way would be to ramp up swappiness, I suppose. | 16:11 |
| nacc | blackflow: right, that seems the easier way | 16:12 |
| blackflow | well echoing 3 to drop_caches is not about swap tho', it's about dropping fs caches, it won't actually free any RAM for apps to use, as that memory is already discardable | 16:12 |

| jjbuggle | I'm running xubuntu | 16:32 |
| strive | jjbuggle: It seems that your settings aren't correctly set? It's probably jumping because you need to set the two finger scroll. | 16:33 |

| strive | jjbuggle: I'm thinking it may have to do with one of the 'TapButton' parameters. | 16:37 |
| jjbuggle | strive: I am able to 2 finger scroll in general. It just jumps around a lot. At first I thought it was an issue with sensitivity, but changing the sennsitivity settings don't seem to make a difference. So the 2 finger scroll itself is workinng | 16:37 |
| jjbuggle | yeah? | 16:37 |

| craigbass76 | Is there a way to decrypt .ssh/known_hosts so I can read it easily? I'm logging into a bunch of temporary servers, and I want to clean house every so often, but I can't read the file. | 17:09 |
| craigbass76 | And I don't want to wipe out servers that I log into regularly | 17:09 |
| tomreyn | craigbass76: it's hashed, can't be reverted. what you can do is reove entries with ssh-keygen -R given that you provide the destination you used to connect. the other, and probably wiser, option is to not use hashing when connecting to temporary servers. | 17:11 |
| Barabacha | how can I move a window to a second workspace? dragging it doesn't seem to work | 17:11 |
| tomreyn | Barabacha: i'm not sure but try alt + cursor keys | 17:14 |
| lotuspsychje | Barabacha: works here, just tryed with terminal grab and slide to desktop2 | 17:15 |
| craigbass76 | tomreyn, I don't see what you mean. One of my entries (looks lik ethe rest of them, with different characters) goes: |1|50ZYQf06Vskrx0/aJabEz9TY7iI=|7ZcnV1VIibmSU8RQg2JMhgOZy8o= ecdsa-sha2-nistp256 AAAAE2VjZHNhLXNoYTItbmlzdHAyNTYAAAAIbmlzdHAyNTYAAABBBFE+SyA2lQU/aTT5yn3FC+45njex9sQij2Tn2I20++vrQJzMQ6QjFBcdYE2ep0oqXMDQF5pP2ghadUuwjq/8Ets= | 17:16 |
| craigbass76 | That's a temporary server, but another box right in my house is one of the earlier entries, and looks like that too. | 17:17 |
| lotuspsychje | Barabacha: so activites/hover over desktop1/grab terminal/slide and let go desktop2 | 17:17 |
| tomreyn | craigbass76: do you want / need to hash the ssh keys of temporary servers? | 17:17 |
| craigbass76 | No. I don't see where I'm prompted for or against though | 17:18 |
| tomreyn | craigbass76: you are not, but you can configure SSH not to hash the keys for some servers, such as based on the server name you type when connecting with ssh. | 17:20 |
| craigbass76 | tomreyn, HashKnownHosts in ssh_config ? | 17:21 |
| Barabacha | lotuspsychje: dragging and dropping doesn't work | 17:22 |
| tomreyn | craigbass76: yes, if you combine this with an ssh profile (using 'Host', which can accept wildcards), you can disable ssh host key fingerprint hashing for all matching hosts | 17:22 |
| lotuspsychje | Barabacha: works here with me, you are on 18.04.1 ubuntu-desktop right? | 17:22 |
| craigbass76 | Barabacha, lotuspsychje not sure if it applies, because I'm using Cinnamon, but I just grab the window, run my keyboard shortcut for switching desktops (mine is Ctrl Alt and R or L arrow), and the window comes with me. | 17:24 |

| d33tah | oerheks: I think I already have headers and headers-generic installed | 18:40 |
| d33tah | what's weird about this error is the double spaces | 18:40 |

| birdfaceman | Ok, this might be all my fault; I may have forgotten to click the format option, but I can't say for sure, but it's back to ext4 and asking for timezones | 19:50 |
| JadedJ | oerheks: Still there? | 19:50 |
| JacobTDC | nacc: Well, is there anywhere I can get a list of those options and what they do? | 19:50 |
| nacc | JacobTDC: in the kernel source, Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt | 19:51 |
| joaogerardo | thank you camarades. Will try again | 19:51 |
| joaogerardo | :D | 19:51 |
| nacc | JacobTDC: as to the initramfs options, I doubt there is a list of them | 19:51 |
| xubuntu18041 | gmota_: lspci|grep -i vga | 19:51 |
| skinux | WEll, that's interesting. Cannot find mysql service, but I just checked and it's installed. | 19:52 |
| huberp | Hey guys. I have a little trouble with my Video output. The Ubuntu PC is hooked up to an Denon Receiver. And for some reason it defaults to 1920x1080p59.93Hz and the TV seems to not support that. So to change that, I have to logon via ssh and do xrandr magic to put it on 60 Hz. Is there a way to keep it that way? | 19:52 |
| gmota_ | xubuntu18041, yeah, that gives me the card, but not the driver | 19:53 |
| JacobTDC | nacc: Okay, so, is there anywhere ON SYSTEM I can find that file? :I | 19:53 |
| nacc | JacobTDC: no, unless you have the kernel source installed. | 19:53 |
| JacobTDC | Oh. | 19:53 |
| nacc | JacobTDC: what are you looking for? | 19:53 |
| nacc | JacobTDC: or put another way, why do you want to know the exhaustive list of kernel options supported by your kernel? | 19:53 |
| joaogerardo | you need to be identified with services | 19:53 |
| joaogerardo | what does that mean? Itś needed to be registered, right? | 19:54 |
| JacobTDC | nacc: I'm looking for something to force-load my SynPS/2 keyboard, 'cause sometimes the system doesn't detect/load it (although the GRUB menu loads it without fail). | 19:55 |
| jje | gmota_: 'lshw -c video' there should be a line for the driver in that output. | 19:55 |
| nacc | JacobTDC: do you have any workaround for it now? | 19:56 |
| JacobTDC | nacc: My only way of getting it to work is by rebooting the system (many times) until it loads it. | 19:57 |
| nacc | JacobTDC: 'loads' what? or do you mean by that, that it works | 19:57 |
| joaogerardo | JacobTDC: sounds to be IRQ configuration | 19:58 |
| nacc | JacobTDC: and in the case of it working/not, did you grab dmesgs and compare, etc.? | 19:58 |
| gmota_ | jje, I would like to show you the output. Maybe you can determine the driver... | 19:58 |
| jje | pastebin please | 19:59 |
| gmota_ | jje, yeah, how exactly? | 19:59 |
| gmota_ | pipe pastebin jje? | 19:59 |
| jje | lshw -c video | pastebinit | 20:00 |
| JacobTDC | nacc: Let me start over. My laptop has an SynPS/2 keyboard (and mouse), and occasionally, when logging in, it doesn't work. It's wierd, because if I press <ESC> on boot to pull up the GRUB menu, the GRUB menu doesn't have any problems with it. | 20:00 |
| JacobTDC | joaogerardo: What do you mean? | 20:00 |
| gmota_ | jje, http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/rzqKKSddWG/ | 20:01 |
| UserUS | JacobTDC, are all your drivers up to date? | 20:02 |
| jje | gmota_: it would be on the configuration line if it was there. i would guess you are using neauvou, have you installed the nvidia driver yet? | 20:02 |
| JacobTDC | UserUS: I don't know how to update them, but this is a fairly new Ubuntu installation, so they should be up-to-date. | 20:03 |
| JacobTDC | UserUS: *should* be up to date..... | 20:04 |
| gmota_ | jje, no, there is none available. I would need version 173, which is not compatible with this kernel | 20:04 |
| jje | oh dear then you are on neauvou | 20:04 |
| joaogerardo | the IRQs must be all enable. If the bridge of IRQs is disable maybe the communication to a new IRQ cannot be made. | 20:04 |
| gmota_ | jje, would be happy to see if neauvou runs... | 20:05 |
| JacobTDC | joaogerardo: ? | 20:05 |
| joaogerardo | and the IRQs addresses the devices to the hardware | 20:05 |
| UserUS | JacobTDC, I'd start by reinstalling the driver for your SynPS/2 for ubuntu | 20:05 |
| jje | gmota_: its the open source driver it should be loaded already check lsmod | 20:05 |
| JacobTDC | UserUS: How? | 20:05 |
| belak26 | http://magaimg.net/img/wqz.jpg http://magaimg.net/img/wqz.jpg | 20:05 |
| gmota_ | jje, just via typing lsmod? | 20:06 |
| jje | yes it will give you a list of loaded modules | 20:06 |
| gmota_ | jje, yeah, ok | 20:08 |
| jje | excellent | 20:08 |
| GodSkinS1 | http://magaimg.net/img/wqz.jpg http://magaimg.net/img/wqz.jpg | 20:09 |
| JacobTDC | UserUS: How do I update drivers on a command-line installation? | 20:09 |
| UserUS | JacobTDC, also check xinit logs and check lsmod|grep -iE "synap". I'm looking for a driver for you, one sec | 20:09 |
| gmota_ | jje, can't I somehow get this very old 173 driver? ^^ | 20:09 |
| jje | gmota_: not sure wait for someone else to answer maybe? | 20:10 |
| gmota_ | jje, yeah. the .run file from nvidia does not work as the kernel is too new... xD The message is that the kernel header is not configured correctly | 20:11 |
| Stormmore | anyone have a suggestion on a replacement for Keycloak that can doing OAuth identity brokering? | 20:11 |
| jje | gmota_: well it kind of sounds like you are out of luck then. | 20:12 |
| UserUS | JacobTDC, I'm still looking, but can you run this: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep -i synaptics and put it in pastebin or something and give a link of the output? | 20:13 |
| JacobTDC | UserUS: Sure. Just so you know, I'm using the Minimal installation of Ubuntu, but thankfully I have already installed xinit and xterm. | 20:13 |
| JacobTDC | UserUS: I haven't run xinit before, or have deleted the log... just a sec... | 20:15 |
| JacobTDC | UserUS: actually, it just moved the log location... | 20:17 |
| skinux | Got it! I had to start 'mysql' not 'mysqld' | 20:18 |
| JacobTDC | UserUS: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Y5WDp5RXyp/ | 20:18 |
| arooni | is there an alternative to synergy | 20:19 |
| JacobTDC | UserUS: I'm actually suprised xinit worked this time. It usually can't load the keyboard, and I have to restart the computer to get out of it. | 20:19 |
| JadedJ | Hi | 20:20 |
| Reiji | hi | 20:20 |
| JadedJ | When running ./configure on application I'm trying to compile, it gives me this error | 20:20 |
| UserUS | JacobTDC, yeah, it looks like the issue is that is keeps getting disconnected | 20:20 |
| JacobTDC | UserUS: ? | 20:21 |
| JacobTDC | UserUS: Physically? | 20:21 |
| Reiji | now the ubuntu mini iso detected the newtwork settings automatically and I can can fordward in installing ubuntu with lxde | 20:21 |
| JadedJ | "configure: error: dnet-config not found" | 20:21 |
| UserUS | JacobTDC, No, but the machine sees it that way. It's using libinput for the touchpad, recognizes it, but then the touchpad gets disconnected and it can't find it anymore | 20:21 |
| UserUS | JacobTDC, you can reinstall the input driver with sudo apt-get install libinput-tools xserver-xorg-input-libinput | 20:23 |
| JacobTDC | UserUS: That makes sense. Is there anything else I can do as well incase that doesn't solve it? | 20:23 |
| UserUS | JacobTDC, yeah, I found a couple articles I can send you to troubleshoot | 20:24 |
| UserUS | JacobTDC, to temporarily enable it you can try xinput set-prop xx "Device Enabled" 0, where xx= device id | 20:25 |
| UserUS | JacobTDC, https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2250916 (device being disabled) and https://gist.github.com/waltervargas/93178b2ac341a1a11d254fe97a2e798c (reinstalled and configuring driver) | 20:26 |
| JacobTDC | UserUS: You seem to know a lot more about this than the people who helped me a month or so ago (no offense if someone reading this is one of the people who helped... XD) | 20:26 |
| UserUS | JacobTDC, Dr. Google knows a hell of a lot more than me haha but I did setup an arch machine before so I'm familiar with xorg to some extent. If you head into an arch channel and ask strictly about xorg I bet you'll find your answer | 20:29 |

| konrados | Hi. I started installing wicd (sudo apt install wicd) - because I found out it can show me details about available wifi networks, along with channels etc. Now I'm not sure, because it wants to install some deamons ... The description says "A network connection manager that aims to simplify wired and wireless networking in Linux." - I don't want to break anything, especially that everything works :) Is this thing safe, I mean can I safely | 20:46 |

| === capella|away is now known as capella | ||
| JacobTDC | UserUS: Okay. | 20:54 |
| konrados | I really thought it's just a bunch of utils, not some daemons. Is this safe to continue, or will it overwrite things I have now? | 20:55 |
| leftyfb | konrados: maybe just remove wicd | 20:55 |
| konrados | leftyfb: but I'm in the middle of the installation process... I just started it and it asks me this question, should I kill it? Or continue and then remove? | 20:56 |

| FreeBDSM | why can't I mount an iso via `sudo mount -t iso 9660 path/to/iso /mnt/iso`? it says 'failed to setup loop device for /full/path/to/iso` | 21:08 |
| FreeBDSM | the dir exists, unmounted | 21:08 |
| UserUS | JacobTDC, I did. It says the touchpad is on, so it may be the dev it's trying to point to | 21:09 |
| pi0 | is there a cli tool to view images | 21:10 |
| leftyfb | FreeBDSM: sudo mount -o loop /path/to/file.iso /mnt/iso # make sure /mnt/iso exists | 21:11 |
| leftyfb | pi0: uh, you mean in the framebuffer? | 21:11 |
| Jordan_U | cpaelzer: A belated thank you! I'll check dmesg for Apparmor denying libvirt when I get back to that machine today or tomorrow. | 21:11 |
| FreeBDSM | leftyfb: I've tried without -t iso9660 as well | 21:11 |
| pi0 | well i have a png and jpg | 21:11 |

| leftyfb | FreeBDSM: sudo mount -o loop /path/to/file.iso /mnt/iso # make sure /mnt/iso exists | 21:11 |
| FreeBDSM | okay, turns out mount doesn't know what ~ is | 21:12 |
| FreeBDSM | thanks | 21:12 |
| leftyfb | pi0: try: fbi | 21:12 |
| FreeBDSM | and yes, -t iso9660 screws things up | 21:12 |
| pi0 | apt install fbi | 21:12 |
| leftyfb | FreeBDSM: and you need to specify that it's a loop mount | 21:13 |
| leftyfb | FreeBDSM: so exactly as I typed above | 21:13 |
| FreeBDSM | I did specify it before | 21:13 |
| FreeBDSM | the problem was full path vs ~/path | 21:13 |
| FreeBDSM | and `-t iso9660` which I took from redhat's docs | 21:13 |
| genii | pi0: Without X, you need to use an application like fbi which uses framebuffer, or some command-line other viewer which uses svgalibs ( like links2 cli web browser ) | 21:14 |
| pi0 | hmm not liking my font | 21:16 |

| JacobTDC | UserUS: Sorry, if you said anything since my last message, you're going to have to repeat it... :I | 21:26 |
| UserUS | JacobTDC, "I did. It says the touchpad is on, so it may be the dev it's trying to point to" | 21:26 |
| JacobTDC | UserUS: I also found that if my keyboard doesn't work at login, I can press "Fn + F8" (a key labeled "CRT/LCD") and it types "^@" on the screen. I can also press "Fn + F10" (eject disk) and it works as well. | 21:28 |
| JacobTDC | That's the only thing I can do, though. | 21:29 |
| UserUS | JacobTDC, Yeah, I saw in a post somewhere someone saying that worked. One of the links I sent had a script that basically runs enable over and over if it's disabled. But I think the root issue is gonna be in xorg | 21:30 |
| JacobTDC | UserUS: Well, I don't think xorg is the problem at startup, 'cause I install the Minimal/CLI-Only version of Ubuntu 18.04. If it helps, I'm using a Dell Inspiron 2650. | 21:31 |
| JacobTDC | *installed | 21:32 |
| UserUS | JacobTDC, well xorg is the controller basically for the synaptics driver. Also, double check you didn't hit the disable keyboard button in your function keys | 21:34 |
| prsstnt | my minecraft keeps crashing | 21:34 |
| JacobTDC | UserUS: I don't have a disable keyboard function key... | 21:34 |
| JacobTDC | prsstnt: That's probably (most likely) a Java/Minecraft issue, not an Ubuntu issue, but if you provide more details, I'm sure someone would be glad to help! :D | 21:36 |
| JacobTDC | UserUS: At least, I don't as far as I know of... | 21:38 |
