=== mous is now known as mouses [00:09] Hi, I did a local apt get install of VLC and it is too buggy to run (because of my graphics driver). Where can I get a separate install of VLC media player? Not a repo one? I went to the official site and the ubuntu repo kicked in when I installed it. If I recall, there is another way to get VLC [00:10] I was able to do it before, someone helped me here, but like a goof I did not write it down. [00:10] feedbackmoitor: a "separate install" of vlc probably isn't going to make any difference [00:11] leftyfb, It did, it was a stand alone install that had its own dependencies [00:11] feedbackmoitor: you could try the snap: sudo snap install vlc [00:11] ahh [00:15] leftyfb, : - ) [00:20] I was just about to swap to ubuntu from windows 10 but I have only one thing that I have to be able to connect to. Does ubuntu support connecting to a remote remote desktop gateway with domain creds? === evilbetty is now known as trollboy === waltman_ is now known as waltman [01:02] tacomaster, I don't know (and apparently nobody else does) but remmina, the gnome remote desktop client, is in the live CD build of Ubuntu. you could just boot it, select "try ubuntu" and try connecting to the gateway... [01:11] hi [01:11] how can i upload a file from my linux to ssh [01:13] kasi: scp [01:13] full command please [01:15] scp filename user@host:/remote/location === Tempesta_ is now known as Tempesta [01:32] yes! i got it booted with iommu on [01:32] as i suspected the nv cards conflict with eachother [01:32] i had to blacklist neveau and boot off the intel gfx === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash [01:44] Hello, it seems I have 4 speech-dispatcher opened, I never opened them and I googled what it is and I have never used the accessibility options from ubuntu (they are disabled), should I worry about it? How can I turn this off? [01:58] Is there a way I can change the "Tue 19:58" time format on the top bar of the screen? [02:01] rex: yes with gnome-tweak-tool [02:24] hey all, i have two programs that depend on the same /usr/lib/libproxy.so.1, but one requires a ELF 32-bit, while the other requires a ELF 64-bit [02:25] but both programs point to the same libproxy file, how do I divert each program to the correct *-bit file? [02:25] Does anyone know how to change audio profiles via terminal? [02:27] I have had a 32 bit and 64 bit version of the same program. What I did was install the 32-bit development libraries. I never had a problem with the 32 bit program trying to use the 64 bit library after I installed them. [02:28] jehorn: thanks for your advice, but these are separate 32-bit and 64-bit programs [02:28] there is no 64-bit version of the 32-bit program, and there is no 32-bit version of the 64-bit program [02:29] I found my own answer: pactl set-card-profile 0 output:hdmi-stereo+input:analog-stereo (for future reference) and you can find audio profiles via: pacmd list-cards [02:29] Okay, that worked. Now, can I changed "20:49" to something like "08:49 PM" in the top bar? [02:29] I only see other date options [02:30] rex: yes options are limited, is that what you were looking for? [02:30] Partially [02:30] rex: what did you have in mind? [02:30] I just want to change it off of 24 time [02:30] 24 hour time [02:31] Everything else is as I want it [02:31] rex: holdon lemme check in dconf [02:34] rex: got it [02:34] rex: install dconf-tools then with dconf-editor goto: org/gnome/desktop/interface [02:34] how can i find the large file of a folder in unbuntu? [02:36] Rockwood: Something like ' du -h / | sort -nr ' . [02:43] Bashing-om, for largest file in folder and this folder have many sub dictionaries? [02:43] right i can see only folders size right now [02:46] lotuspsychje: Thanks much! [02:47] Rockwood: ' ls -al ' do what you want ? [02:47] coldpresent: Have you tried sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 && apt-get update then sudo apt-get install whateverlib-dev:i386 that should install the 32 bit version of whatever library you need. [02:49] du -a /var/www/improvement/ | sort -n -r works for me [02:49] Rockwood: :) [02:49] Bashing-om, how i could use "| pastebin"? [02:51] Bashing-om, thanks for help [02:53] Rockwood: ' sudo apt install pastebinit ' . Then pipe the commanf result to pastebinit . ' du -a /var/www/improvement/ | sort -n -r | pastebinit ' . [02:53] Bashing-om, thanks again :) [02:57] Rockwood: Though you did ask about pastebin .. one can use for instance terminbin.com with out having to install any utility . [03:09] Bashing-om, can i make log like composer update | pastebinit? [03:11] Rockwood: one 'cats' a log file . ' cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | nc termbin.com 9999 ' for instance . [03:20] althoguh i think the above case, i do think `composer update` does print to stdout so it would work [03:21] nacc, works [03:24] hi [03:24] i have a question [03:25] Boyette, you have a question and what is that? [03:25] im not good in ubuntu [03:25] i have a vps [03:25] hope you don't like my credit card number :P [03:25] i got in serious trouble because my standard boot size partition was running out of space [03:25] i had to reset the vps [03:25] its running again [03:25] but now before i start [03:26] i like to increase the bootsize [03:26] but how [03:26] i installed gparted but i need to do this hot because its a vps i cant run a live disc [03:27] or is there another way [03:41] do i put nofail in my fstab folder for my non important drives? [03:42] err fstab file [03:58] /join #ubuntu-md [04:06] Anyone have any luck remapping capslock to control in the console? I made approriate changes to /etc/default/keyboard, and it works fine in X, but not on the virtual ttys. Caps lock is still caps lock there. [04:06] I've googled until my eyes bled. No luck. [04:13] hey guys, is ubuntu a fully foss distro?

People will answer if it when they can, & yes patience is required :) [06:39] hi, any idea how to display nfs in nautilus or caja ? I get the following error message : "cannot handle nfs locations" [06:42] Aliekezhi, i mount via command (or fstab auto), and refer to NFS shares only via directory (hence file manager doesn't care that it's a network fs) - don't know how to handle only in file.manager sorry [06:44] what options do i have for creating a sort of theme layout and autogenerate the content with details from ods sheets ? [06:44] looking to do pdf outputs [06:46] So I'm switching full time from Windows. Therefore I now have a free SSD with 200GB. Ubuntu is on a 64GB SSD. So now I see 2 options: KVM to use both SSDs or to make a RAID 10 with a partition on the existing slow HDD i also have. Any thoughts? [06:46] *LVM [06:51] relyant: be aware that if you make an lvm volume that spans across two physical disks, if one disk fails you lose all your data [06:52] i know. that wouldn't be a big issue. i would just set up some other way to backup the ssd's [06:53] how do you think the performance with raid 10 and a slow hdd would be? === r0Oter is now known as r00ter [06:56] the hdd will slow it down, of course, you really need to test to see how much [06:57] so a kvm with regular backups to a hdd would definetly be faster? [06:57] *lvm again [06:58] if it only spans the two ssds, yes [06:59] Ok. Last question. Is there an easy way to do this without reinstalling the OS? [07:01] you can copy the data across, edit fstab and reinstall grub [07:01] Ok. Thank you very much ducasse and have a nice day :) [07:03] relyant: no problem, same to you :) [07:13] Goodmorning [07:14] quick question: I have added https://launchpad.net/~unit193/+archive/ubuntu/encryption but can't find a package veracrypt - why is that? [07:14] I need help. I need to mount encrypted Apple Core Storage partition (I have password) [07:15] alexcold: that's probably using a proprietary encryption system. i doubt you can mount it under Linux. [07:15] solars: which release are you on? [07:16] alexcold: if that's important to you, you'd probably be better served using veracrypt or something like it. [07:17] ducasse: ah 17.10 [07:18] solars: that's eol, you need to upgrade [07:19] hi, does anyone have any experience with usb 3.0 to ethernet adapters? i'm experiencing slow upload speeds with a lenovo usb3.0 adapter. speedtest-cli shows about 4mbit/s, rated speed is 50mbit/s. it does occasionally get the right speed. the same setup works fine on another ubuntu machine and the logs show no errors [07:25] ducasse: so the veracrypt package is only in the new release? [07:26] solars: it's only in supported releases, this is true of most ppas === acheronuk_ is now known as acheronuk [07:29] ducasse: ah alright, thank you [07:30] solars: also you need to upgrade to get security patches etc, you've been without updates for a while now [07:31] hi [07:32] thanks ryuo [07:33] alexcold: LUKS is what Linux natively supports. Some ports of it exists elsewhere. but veracrypt is a cross-platform solution. [07:34] solars, that repo says clearly "This PPA currently publishes packages for Bionic, Xenial, and Trusty." [07:34] where can i find veracrypt? [07:37] alexcold: seems Ubuntu doesn't ship with it. you'll need to use a PPA i believe. [07:38] alexcold: you'll also need a filesystem that's cross-platform. [07:38] alexcold: probably NTFS or FAT32 these days. i'm assuming macOS can use ntfs-3g. [07:39] alexcold: https://launchpad.net/~unit193/+archive/ubuntu/encryption - note that this is unsupported [07:40] alexcold: or even exFAT. [07:40] not many good options for removable file systems... [07:41] it's largely dictated by what windows supports. [07:44] hi 2 all [07:45] uh oh. we had another visit from the hit and run greeter. [07:50] Morning. Last night we had issues on one of our Ubuntu servers, and the logs indicated that we ran out of memory. Is there a way I can check retrospectively what the culprit was? I have since rebooted the server [07:58] Greetings! Ubuntu 18.04 windows snap to the dock and top bar, also they snap window-to-window. Is it possible to disable this via dconf-editor or another way?

[08:29] bhuddah, sshguard is nice. [08:30] Han: not a bad idea. but as far as i understood it only trigger pre-implemented actions. so it's not very versatile. i'm looking for something where i can setup custom actions.

A simple old ethernet card is refusing to work under Ubuntu 16.04 [08:32] If I change the polkit rule: /usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d/60-network-manager.rules I see no changes in behaviour, not in the logfiles, not after restarting polkitd, not after rebooting. Nothing. What do I have to do to make my changes have some sort of effect? [08:32] I have tried unloading and reloading the driver to no avail.

I am looking for a client that allows me to post brief messages on twitter, linkedin, facebook, etc. at the same time .... anyone who know about one? [09:19] Han: no lights [09:19] though in Windows it does work, as usual. [09:21] sentiment, have you got the firmware-realtek package installed? [09:21] Han: the last two messages are: [09:21] No DHCPOFFERS received. [09:21] No working leases in persistent database - sleeping. [09:23] sentiment, sorry, I don't have a clue. Hopefully somebody else has. [09:23] eeos, AFAIK, there isn't any client that fits your needs, you would need to look at a web based solution like "Hootsuite" or "Buffer". Some of them have free tiers but most of them have paid tiers. [09:24] Han: thanks, and no I didn't install firmware-realtek. and there's no such package, I will look it up [09:28] Crakila: Thank you! I was really hoping for a client .... I am not terribly keen on Hootsuite, Buffer or Disqus. [09:34] Hello is anyone able to say which version of ubuntu will run on a lenovo ideapad s10-2 [09:36] Mr-Potter: for testing we always advice to run a liveusb first [09:36] Mr-Potter: seeing your hardware works==> physical install [09:37] lotuspsychje: Good idea. [09:37] I'm having some difficulty choosing which distro [09:38] Mr-Potter: as you are here in #ubuntu, we reccomend you ubuntu [09:38] Thanks will do [09:39] Mr-Potter: or did you mean ubuntu flavor? [09:40] hi sir [09:40] hi sir! [09:41] sentiment: can you boot with 'noapic' in grub and see you network card work [09:41] lotuspsychje: I meant both. [09:42] Which ubuntu flavor would you recommend for an old netbook? [09:42] Mr-Potter: older hardware we reccomend lubuntu or xubuntu [09:42] Mr-Potter: but that depends really on 'how' old? [09:43] Got it [09:43] Mr-Potter: Some people swear on "Lubuntu", but I found it lacking too much in convenience. I really like Xubuntu (Xfce), with some post installation customization. [09:43] Awesome thanks [09:44] Mr-Potter: if its not too old, you can try ubuntu-mate also [09:44] lotuspsychje: Got it [09:45] lotuspsychje: The notebook model looks to be an Intel Atom from about decade ago, that might struggle considerably. [09:46] adrian_1908: sorry, i missed the specs [09:48] adrian_1908: What about Lubuntu? [09:49] Mr-Potter: should be among the lightest Ubuntu distros you can find, lighter than Xubuntu or Ubuntu Mate. I just didn't like it much when i tried it years go (was quite unpolished), but plenty of users do.# [09:50] got it [09:50] depends on the machine really, i had one case where an old aspire runned xubuntu better [09:50] Mr-Potter: As lotuspsychje said, you can/should try a Live CD. So just test drive it (and possibly others) and decide then. [09:50] got it [09:51] Mr-Potter: and a last idea, 18.04 has now a minimal option, perhaps good for your case? [09:51] good idea :) [09:51] which desktop enviornment do you mean? [09:52] Mr-Potter: all 18.04 flavors should now have the choice in setup [09:52] ok [09:52] full install/minimal [09:53] Mr-Potter: just keep in mind, minimal might need some tweaks afterwards [09:53] Mr-Potter: but will give you nice low space install [09:53] ok [09:57] hey guys i'm trying to follow this guide https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed i created the file mentioned at "Selective upgrading from -proposed" but it's still proposing to update a lot of packages [09:58] ph88: can we ask why you need proposed?

[12:20] sentiment: did you play with config recently or so? [12:20] I meant ifconfig doesn't list the card [12:21] I did, I have been struggling with this since the 6 hours ago [12:21] mainly the interfaces file [12:21] sentiment: sudo lshw -C network to check driver= [12:21] sentiment: ifconfig -a [12:22] sentiment: or ifconfig enp2s15 [12:22] leftyfb: the card is down because of ifdown depite the lights on the card being on [12:22] sentiment: please pastebin your interfaces file === wowaname is now known as opal [12:23] lotuspsychje: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/yDVkNr6wvY/ [12:23] sentiment: network:1 DISABLED ,driver looks good [12:24] leftyfb: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/BWsTGXXPGs/ [12:24] lotuspsychje: it's because he took down the interface [12:24] lotuspsychje: it always looked good I guess, even before the upgrade [12:25] leftyfb: should I ifup it ? [12:25] sentiment: open up 2 terminals. One running: tail -f /var/log/syslog ## and the other sudo ifup enp2s15 [12:26] ok, you want to see result of ifup? I mean should I run ifup then the log? [12:26] sentiment: open up 2 terminals. One running: tail -f /var/log/syslog ## and the other sudo ifup enp2s15 [12:27] ok [12:28] it's running now [12:28] the NIC lights went off [12:28] the ifup is generating repetitive output "DHCPDISCOVER on enp2s15 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 3 (xid=0x525f6074) [12:28] my laptop resolution gives me 5 options and everyone of them looks wrong, stretched, how can i get out of this? [12:29] ifup is Sending on Socket/fallback [12:29] leftyfb: what's the fallback? [12:29] same result as the last 10 times I tried it today [12:29] sentiment: it means it's not getting an ip address [12:30] hmm... DHCP problem? [12:30] sentiment: try setting a static ip on it just to test [12:30] effortDee: whats your native screen resolution please? [12:30] Good morning from Cuba [12:30] it will assign APIPA style address [12:30] I guess, because the last time it did that [12:30] leftyfb: ok I will now [12:30] sentiment: static [12:31] ifup hasn't finished yet [12:31] CTRL+C it [12:31] I did, won't stop [12:31] I wil just close the terminal [12:31] sentiment: hold down CTRL+C [12:32] nope [12:32] close the terminal. OK now I will set it to static [12:33] sentiment: why did you meantion APIPA? If you're using that style ip's (don't) then why would you think dhcp would work? [12:33] someone using ubuntu 18.04 [12:33] dave_cuba: ask your real issue please [12:33] !detail | dave_cuba [12:33] bah [12:34] leftyfb: it sets an IP 167.... something, isn't that APIPA? after ifup it does that [12:34] leftyfb: enp2s15:avahi Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1a:4d:ff:e9:a6 [12:34] I know what it is, do not rely on it [12:34] I have problems in the ubuntu 18.04 and the messaging client jabber psi plus [12:34] leftyfb: that's a new item in the ifconfig [12:34] sentiment: What is the ethernet cable plugged into exactly? [12:35] a TD-LTE router [12:36] the psi plus is not saving my password and every time I have to access my jabber account, I have to be putting the password, this in previous versions of ubuntu did not happen to me, can you give me the answer of the ones I have to do in private [12:36] ok I assigned an ip address. should I edit the interfaces file to change 'dhcp' to 'static' and then ifdown and up again? [12:37] I do not speak English, I'm writing thanks to the google translator [12:38] leftyfb: the IP is set, the NIC lights are off [12:38] !es | dave_cuba [12:38] dave_cuba: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba " /join #ubuntu-es " (sin comillas) y presione intro. [12:38] sentiment: yes [12:38] ifconfig shows the NIC fine [12:38] the other entry is gone [12:38]
