[00:02] man do I love apt and snap === swinccc is now known as sherwoodinc [00:21] Hello. Is it possible to limit the count of stored system notifications? [00:22] In Ubuntu many notifications (100 and more) start to load processor rather hard === Sven_vB_ is now known as Sven_vB [00:25] cat tudo.gringos.db |grep \.net(?:[:\/]|$) how to use regex in grep command?? [00:25] which metric should I monitor to get advance warning of soon to be expected "No buffer space available"? [00:25] You mean extended ? [00:26] grep -E [00:27] -G is basic, but you could use man grep [00:29] Sven_vB: if you're reaching that, you're doing something wrong [00:30] leftyfb, yeah I'm currently trying to investigate what could cause that problem. [00:31] Sven_vB: where are you running into it? [00:31] poorly written software [00:31] xamithan: it could be poor hardware as well [00:31] Could be, but you'd notice other issues if its that (usually) [00:32] leftyfb, happens on my mail server. I was thinking to use the advance metric to login while SSH still works, then collect evidence of what's going on. [00:32] *advance warning [00:32] You can grab stats from /proc/net but I'd have no idea what numbers are normal other than zero [00:33] Sven_vB: When do you see this happening on your mail server? When you send mail using mailx? Receiving mail? Sending via imap? Pinging something? [00:33] Sven_vB: do you have a log with this error? [00:35] leftyfb, I see it in my syslog like "postfix/smtpd[32576]: fatal: socket: No buffer space available". also I think I saw it earlier from my SSH client when SSH was dead but not too rotten yet. [00:36] Sven_vB: https://www.mail-archive.com/freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org/msg20232.html tried that? [00:37] nope, I'll have a look. thanks! [00:37] Sven_vB: how reproducable is this? [00:37] Sven_vB: if it happens daily/hourly, then is it possible to try a different network card and cable and port on your router/switch? [00:38] it happens reliably at least once per week, but I haven't managed to predict the exact date/time yet. it probably depends on how eagerly the spammers try hitting my smtpd. [00:38] nope, it's a rented virtual server. [00:39] hello [00:39] !help [00:39] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [00:44] "sysctl -a |& grep -Fe maxsock" prints nothing. shouldn't there be previous values for kern.ipc.maxsockbuf and kern.ipc.maxsockets? [00:44] rander3, hi :) [00:57] Sven_vB: it hasn't been /proc/sys/kern for some time [00:59] Sven_vB: actually, wait, i think that's a bsd-ism [00:59] i think the equiv is /proc/sys/net/core/rmem_max [01:03] Thoughts on 128-bit encryption vs 256-bit for websites? [01:04] 256 unless you hosting on a really really old CPU [01:04] So why does a major website like Amazon use just 128-bit? [01:05] They have so many resources available to them it's unbelievable, yet they choose 128. [01:05] Is this because even 128-bit is overkill? [01:06] I think they use 128 for the reason they do have tons of resources [01:06] How does that make sense? [01:06] From quora: at one billion attempts per second of brute-force. it would take 5,783,128,169,837,158,197,871 years to break 128-bit [01:06] So even 128-bit is overkill, no? [01:07] Because the web requests are happening in a fraction of second. [01:07] Nah, because below 128 you got 56 [01:07] There's no way 128-bit could be compromised, right? [01:07] and 56 can be broken in about a year [01:08] So I wonder why so many websites are using 256-bit. Just because? [01:08] Because its available, same reason people use ubuntu cosmic cuttlefish right now [01:08] mountains-VR: totally offtopic for this channel [01:09] mountains-VR: you can use #ubuntu-offtopic or any number of other channels === kiril is now known as Guest10406 [01:10] Hello all people [01:10] How are you doing [01:11] Guest10406: do you have an ubuntu support question? [01:11] I can upgrade a package with `apt-get upgrade ' and it shows a bunch of new packages that will be installed, after having added a couple PPAs. However, "dist-upgrade" and "upgrade" show no packages. Zero?! [01:12] yaomtc: is that package currently installed? [01:12] More specifically I added the padoka PPA from Paulo Dias for the latest Mesa and LLVM. [01:13] nacc: yes, currently libgl1-mesa-dev is at 18.0.0 rc5 [01:13] Mesa 18.3 is offered from the PPA [01:13] yaomtc: can you pastebin the output? [01:14] yaomtc: of various commands and the corresponding `apt-cache policy ` ? [01:14] nacc, thanks. that explains why I get mostly BSD threads with my search engine. :) [01:15] Sven_vB: yw [01:15] that one has 3 values however: net.ipv4.tcp_rmem = 4096 87380 4194304 [01:16] hello [01:16] oh, nah, net.core.rmem_max = 133120. that looks quite high already. [01:16] Ok === Jorge is now known as Guest35483 [01:16] Hi [01:17] nacc: Oh. I didn't do that, but here it is anyway: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/fFGGRr7xwq/ [01:17] I'll test the policy thing now [01:17] Can you see my IP? [01:18] I used irc for the first time.

[01:27] BTW, running ubuntu mate [01:28] is there any way to disable those extremely annoying popup notifications in gnome shell? === Tabstar is now known as Tabmow [01:31] de-facto: there are a lot of applications that provide notifications... can you be more specific? [01:32] the gnome shell popup notifications on the top of the screen/any application (even fullscreen ones) [01:33] i never ever want to see those popups, regardless of their origin [01:33] its extremely annoying, i get a message that my mouse battery is empty every few minutes [01:38] nacc: oh that package isn't actually installed. Huh. [01:39] "Installed: (none)" yeah... that would explain it === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash [01:42] false alarm, I'm a dummy [01:42] de-facto: the problem is, it isn't one place to turn those off from. Gnome provides a "hook" that other applications can leverage to show alerts. So what you may need to do is look at power management to turn off notifications there. And other applications that you are using [01:44] pragmaticenigma, the problem is that i already tried to disable all notifications in settings, yet gnome does not seem to care about that too much. can i uninstall gnome popup support globally somehow? [01:45] de-facto: no, it's integrated deeply into Gnome Shell [01:45] like applications send notfications, yet they wont get displayed ever, so effectivily end up in a black hole [01:46] thats unfortunate that those gnome developers dont think about how their interface is used in daily life [01:46] can i delete some file to break this functionality from gnome? [01:47] de-facto: again, no, it's built into the Gnome Desktop program... there aren't components that you can just add and remove like legos [01:48] de-facto: you have other options. [01:48] The team the develops Gnome have taken a well known stance the "customization" ins't in their interest. [01:49] de-facto: The best option is to fine a Desktop Environment that allows you to customize the notifications, or respects your preferences. KDE, is another widely used environmnet. LXDE and XFCE are two others that are lighter weight, use less system resources and all three suggestions have better mechanisms for managing notifications [01:50] defkult: part of the problem I see in researching a solution for you, is Gnome devs have changed the location, settings, and other features that might turn on and off the notifications. Each update seems to be an attempt to circumvent what other people have found to work. It's a cat and mouse game that means you will forever be trying to stop those notifications [01:51] woops. defkult sorry to tag you... that was meant for de-facto [01:51] I use KDE with i3. myself, perfectly balanced. As all desktop should be [01:52] yes i looked into those, yet i got used to the gnome applications/environment. Though I do have to admit its not the first time it annoyed me quite a bit that the gnome team just wont provide basic options to make their DE useable. i dont even ask for customizations, just control the basics to an extend that it functions currectly [01:53] gnome environment is "babies first DE" its terrible imo and ubuntu should have gone with KDE, imo. [01:53] baby's** [01:53] and i googled already, and im not the first one annoyed by it. there is an extension, yet it just does not feel right to "fix" gnome everytime with another extension [01:54] Well, it's alright for people who know next to nothing about computers or Unix systems. [01:54] right, hence "baby's first" [01:54] I still would have preferred something a little more professional. As it is a lot of Linux/BSD desktop environments are really in love with the awful dock system that Mac computers are using. [01:55] God forbid a computer have a Start menu anymore. [01:55] KDE is your flavor then. [01:55] or XFCE with the dock off. [01:56] Thanks, I was actually just about to check both of those out. [01:56] LXDE is pretty good too. [01:58] LXDE is too lightweight for its own good, its missing some core features. Unless you are running on crap hardware, there is no reason to run it. [01:58] Duly noted. [02:00] honestly, KDE if you are looking for a feature rich DE, and one that doesnt look like its made for kids. [02:01] #kubuntu is the channel for support if u have any kde questions while running ubuntu, if you do. [02:02] Probably a dumb question, but how do I find an explanation for a package's purpose? For example this one: https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/gnome/update-notifier-common doesn't really explain what it's actually about. [02:03] de-facto: the extensions are how it is expected to "fix" gnome or rather "customize" the features you desire. it feels hackish, because it is. many of us here, make it a priority to keep things as vanilla as possible, to avoid conflicts within programs. Extensions, themes and other customizations can and often do have an unintended results. which is why no one here suggested them [02:03] hfp: ' apt show ' . [02:04] hfp: Because the name more or less implies it's purpose... Its the core libraries used for the Ubuntu update program, that handles upgrades to the next release of Ubuntu [02:05] !info ubuntu-notifier-common [02:05] Package ubuntu-notifier-common does not exist in bionic [02:05] !info ubuntu-notifier-common xenial [02:05] Package ubuntu-notifier-common does not exist in xenial [02:05] !info update-notifier-common [02:05] update-notifier-common (source: update-notifier): Files shared between update-notifier and other packages. In component main, is optional. Version 3.192.1.3 (bionic), package size 156 kB, installed size 1378 kB [02:06] * pragmaticenigma ... oops ... [02:06] !info update-notifier xenial [02:06] update-notifier (source: update-notifier): Daemon which notifies about package updates. In component main, is optional. Version 3.168.9 (xenial), package size 47 kB, installed size 201 kB [02:06] So this package notifies the user when a new Ubuntu release is available? That's all? Why is it required for unattended-upgrades according to the wiki then? (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticSecurityUpdates) [02:07] pragmaticenigma, yes i know, thats why gnome itself should provide at least the basic settings itself without extensions. well it wont with makes it bad in my humble opinion. [02:07] hfp: not exactly... that is just a summary. there are components within that application and library that unattended upgrades relies on... including when a user must be notified for specific updates (usually kernel or version changes) [02:08] de-facto: your argument is valid, and shared by many [02:08] de-facto: I switched to KDE (Kubuntu) with 18.04 as I wanted to use my desktop as 90% of other desktops are. Gnome's next ace is to remove desktop shortcuts... should be lots of fun [02:09] hey [02:09] it alwas makes me think i overlooked something obvious, hence i asked here. [02:09] there's an extension to reenable the desktop shortcuts for gnome. [02:09] for some reason i cant see any wifi options in settings [02:09] so basically, another extension to add back normal functionality. [02:10] i cant see wlan-anything on ifconfig [02:10] cant see anything on rfkill list all [02:10] iwlist scan only shows ethernet [02:10] can anyone help me to try get the wifi going? [02:11] lspci shows the wifi card, but thats the only reference anywhere [02:11] 06:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM43142 802.11b/g/n (rev 01) [02:12] de-facto: the most common complaint we see here is the date/time at the top of the desktop. It is hardcoded to the develoepr's personal locale, which doesn't match a lot of other user's. [02:12] goes to show, that even the tiniest features find annoyance with others. [02:13] Wait, so the time zone can't be changed on the GNOME taskbar? [02:13] hmm could be secure boot [02:14] hey guys, wondering if someone could help me with Samba! i just did a release upgrade from 17.10 to 18.04.1 and since then whenever i try to connect to a samba share it just asks me for the password.. tried everything! === amirpro_ is now known as amirpro [02:14] as in all combinations of passwords [02:14] duoi: Broadcom drivers are very difficult and usually require proprietary drivers. Check out this post and see if it helps you [02:14] https://askubuntu.com/a/60395 [02:14] and i've done an smbpasswd -a user to try and get htem to work, but still nudda. the logs don't seem to tell me much [02:15] damian: Are the Samba users properly matched to local system users on the Ubuntu machine? [02:16] damian: that is, is there anything in /etc/samba/smbusers [02:16] pragmaticenigma, yeah i know, at least its not ontop every other (fullscreen) application (yet?). [02:16] as far as i know! i mean it worked up until the upgrade. the username on my local win10 computer is 'dwest' but on ubuntu it's 'damian', but that's never mattered after the first prompt [02:17] there's no smbusers file on my ubuntu at all! [02:17] and that's the same for at least two other ubuntu's i have which are working (but different versions) [02:17] oh actually, one is the same version [02:18] damian: I use it, but mostly because I keep my passwords in sync ... so I don't have to login to my samba shares all the time, windows can do it automatically [02:18] Hi guys. I'm about to run a command to back up my system and I just want to make sure it seems like the right one. https://ideone.com/VVo0hP [02:19] rsync / . # is this right? [02:19] yeah, i keep mine in sync as well usually. i even created a dwest account on ubuntu so it would sync. i think that's how i got it working originally here, but still that doesn't seem to work in this case [02:19] Richard_Cavell: Is this for an Ubuntu system? [02:20] Richard_Cavell, isnt your backup location included in /? e.g. would it be recursive or does rsync exclude it automatically? what about /dev and /proc and all those? [02:21] when i do a pdbedit -L -v it gives me both of my user accounts with their correct detail [02:21] de-facto: Richard_Cavell isn't running Ubuntu, we are not have to support their operating system [02:21] have => able [02:23] Also, rsync of an entire system is not a good way to make a backup === matth1askrgr is now known as Guest58531 [02:29] de-facto: you are correct, rsync on a live system with those options is going to go into recursive loops, espeially when it hits the mount point of their backup drive === FiremanEd_ is now known as FiremanEd === TheNumb_ is now known as TheNumb === button is now known as crayon === oh4_ is now known as oh4 === marxjohnson_ is now known as marxjohnson === Researcher-- is now known as Researcher- === Waggie2 is now known as Waggie [02:37] Richard, it's difficult to say because we don't know what's in some of those directories.

I am on a laptop with an integrated and discete graphics, so I think that might be the issue. I tried installing the nvidia drivers but it does not seem to help. Whenever I try removing "nomodeset" and I try to boot I get to the login screen, click login and then it freezes.

[03:24] hi [03:24] Hello [03:25] !Boyette : Hello [03:25] hanabishi: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:26] So, I am hoping I am in the right place to ask this question. How do I fix screen tearing on an intel system? [03:27] I'm on ubuntu 18.04. I've set up a printer. The printer is clearly visible in the system settings. So... how to I actually print things? [03:28] Like, if I send a document to be printed from my browser (chrome) exactly nothing happens. I don't get any error messages or warnings from the print dialogue. The printer itself just sits there minding it's own business [03:28] strange [03:29] reset system [03:30] reboot print and compt [03:30] cristovao: I have done both [03:30] pc [03:31] yes ok [03:31] I found this doc, but it doesn't say how to actually print anything: https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/printing.html.en [03:32] (well, apart from 'print a booklet'. but that's not my issue) [03:32] Hi. I installed Ubuntu 18.04 to a USB stick (as in, full install, not a Live CD), and was able to boot it. However, when I tried it on a newer laptop running Windows 10, despite selecting USB boot, it's Windows that boots. I take it this is a UEFI thing? What can I do to the USB stick to make Ubuntu boot on the laptop? [03:32] @rangergord disable secure boot in bios [03:34] Boyette: I'll do that if there's no other recourse...but I kind of wanted Ubuntu-on-a-stick that works ANYWHERE, including other people's PCs where I wouldn't want to disable secure boot. Any other solutions? [03:35] defaut driver print [03:35] no because that is how computers work.. how can a random stick work in any random computer with secure boot enabled.. what do you think this functionality is made for? [03:36] I guess I could disable secure boot, use Ubuntu, then re-enable it, when using other people's HW [03:36] possible [03:36] correcl [03:37] ok [03:38] I didn't try to print using gnomes document viewer, because the gnome document viewer print dialogue doesn't have an option for printing in black-and-white. I don't like wasting colour ink. [03:38] But I just tried printing it now using gnome's print dialoge, and nothing happens [03:41] no doubt this stranger tries to reinstall the printer. maybe it works. [03:44] uhh...apt is broken now? [03:46] hey [03:47] anyone here? [03:47] unshackled: no, it is not [03:47] lol what? [03:47] no one's home ;-) [03:50] It's pretty quiet in here tonight. [03:54] but where i'm on is day [03:54] lol [03:54] love this time [03:57] why when i attempt to change my dns settings permanently am I then not able to connect to the internet? Further, how can I also similarly change my route my ipv6 dns? What is the proper configuration for my resolv.conf.d file? [04:04] question about a dual boot on a mac... if i partition the drives, then boot via usb (and install ubuntu) will grub automatically take control for bootup or how does that process work? [04:05] following this process (again) but skipped the "install reFIND" part https://www.maketecheasier.com/install-dual-boot-ubuntu-mac/ [04:05] refind is needed on a mac [04:06] so.. the last time i followed the doc in that link.. i installed refind.. but after rebooting (after installing ubuntu) it stopped using refind and just booted into ubuntu [04:06] (could boot into mac by holding option during startup) [04:07] what year is this mac from? [04:07] 2011 [04:07] mbair [04:09] Ok, just checking compatibility. It has been a few years since I have booted a mac, but when I did, refind was needed to load the grub bootloader [04:10] ok cool [04:11] yeah i'm going to just take a step back and do this right. installing refind [04:11] thanks! [04:11] I hope that solves your problem [04:11] i've found the ubuntu community to be really helpful [04:11] hi is it possible to resize boot partition hot ? [04:11] @Boyette: define hot [04:12] its on a vps [04:12] so i can not put a live usb stick [04:12] so i want to do it from the actual os [04:12] or any other way [04:13] after bootup, you can resize partitions, but it can be quite time consuming and simetimes challenging. [04:13] but how [04:13] i installed gparted [04:13] and unmounted the boot partition [04:13] but still cant add unallocated space to it [04:18] Boyette, is the free space next to your boot partition? and if boot is a logical partition; is the free space also in the extended partition? === elibrokeit is now known as ztrawhcse [04:21] its like this [04:21] https://prnt.sc/klvlx0 [04:22] There is no space left to add to the boot partition from what I can see [04:23] so i need to make space first [04:23] me neither - & yes you need space if you want to make it larger [04:24] but how [04:24] You will need to shrink sda3 or sda4 the amount you want to add to /boot [04:24] and then move the empty space next to /boot [04:25] and finally resize /boot [04:25] like this? [04:25] fdisk -l /dev/sda*; blkid /dev/sd* && swapoff -a && umount /boot && tune2fs -O has_journal /dev/sda1 && echo -e "d\n2\nn\np\n2\n2181119\n\nt\n2\n82\nd\n1\nn\np\n1\n\n\np\nw" | fdisk /dev/sda && e2fsck -f /dev/sda1 [04:26] swapoff -a && mkswap -L swap /dev/sda2 && umount /boot && e2fsck -f /dev/sda1 && resize2fs /dev/sda1 && tune2fs -j /dev/sda1 && mount /boot [04:27] Because I have never worked with a vps before, I am unable to help much further. I usually have physical access to the machine I am working on. [04:28] now i tried it but i think i bricked it [04:28] maybe something was wrong in the command [04:29] I do see LVM in your partition scheme [04:30] LVM has the ability to resize on the fly (I think) that sould help some there [04:30] ah its turning on again [04:30] maybe it did work [04:30] but it was still busy [04:30] it did not [04:30] work [04:31] I would look into learning a little more about LVM [04:31] before going to much further [04:33] journal error [04:33] hey [04:33] anyone here? [04:33] unshackledfrinto_ i get an error from apt, and when i used tasksel it failed and broke KDE...just sayin' === semeion is now known as mnemonic [04:34] sdds [04:34] wait [04:34] wrong channel lol [04:34] dropping back to LTS just to be safe guys thanks for everyones help [04:35] .======. [04:38] https://www.afterdawn.com/news/article.cfm/2018/08/22/internet-relay-chat-or-irc-turns-30 [04:39] i can remove [printers] and [print$] from samba and not bork it, correct? [04:41] So long as you do not want to share the printers connected to the system you remove the entries from [04:44] So, how do I fix screen tearing? [04:45] get a g-sync Freesync monitor and hope you get driver support [04:47] Is it possible to manipulate/mount/find/use "previous versions" NTFS feature with ubuntu? [04:51] @Mead: How do I without purchasing a special monitor? [04:54] FesterJester i never had too much luck with lvm, it caused more problems for me due to the way i used things [04:54] gosh, most games have a feature for v-sync that limits the number of frames per second to what your monitor support. It is less than idea [04:55] i got a msg from Steam saying it would not play on my TV because of the refresh rate once :P [04:55] so now i have a new TV and I dont even play games ! [04:56] oh of course i do the late night peggle games snuggled under a blanket with choco ice cream [04:56] I am not playing games though. [04:56] FesterJester you should play Peggle [04:56] Videos are tearing [04:57] FesterJester: what GPU/driver are you using? [04:59] OS: Ubuntu Mate 18.04 LTS GPU: Intel GMA X4500 [05:00] FesterJester: have you tried the TearFree option? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/intel_graphics#Tear-free_video [05:00] yeah you need the nvidia driver [05:01] msg NickServ identify XueFeng 123123123 [05:01] lol [05:01] You don't need an nvidia driver unless you have an nvidia card :) [05:01] hateball: I have. When I setup that config, the system boots with a blank screen. [05:01] well his vdeo is tearing so he has one [05:01] FesterJester: ack [05:01] unshackled: ... no? You can get tearing with Intel or AMD as well [05:04] XueFeng, you made an error - change your password asap [05:05] FesterJester: I'm sorry, havent had to troubleshoot Intel in a while, I am using mostly nvidia... TearFree used to work for me on Intel tho [05:07] hateball: Been a while for me as well. Been using nvidia for some time also. [05:09] Why do I keep getting "unable to install new version of '/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpng12.so.0': No such file or directory" with Xenial in a chroot? [05:09] FesterJester: are you getting tearing in *all* videos, or just in a browser? [05:09] lol === Guest58531 is now known as matthiaskrgr [05:15] hateball: Only tried local files so far [05:16] FesterJester: hmpf. Otherwise it could have been for instance chrome blacklisting your gpu driver, but for local files... yeah it's something else [05:16] FesterJester: is this on GNOME? [05:16] I am not familiar with GNOME, if you can turn off compositing or not. could be a thing to try otherwise [05:17] hateball: Mate === rud0lf is now known as ^- === ^- is now known as rud0lf [05:18] hateball: and I am using VLC to play the files [05:18] FesterJester: Even less familiar with Mate :D I am a Plasma guy myself [05:19] herbmillerjr: what are you doing that results in that error? [05:19] herbmillerjr: also the system = xenial and the chroot = xenial?

[05:26] mouses: System is gentoo, chroot is ubuntu xenial. I'm installing qemu. [05:27] FesterJester: my fault! I meant herbmillerjr [05:27] herbmillerjr: <3 gentoo [05:28] herbmillerjr: anyway, in your xenial chroot just apt install those two things [05:28] and you should be good to go (I think) [05:29] mouses: I was starting to wonder about that. :-) [05:29] FesterJester: lol sorry you both have long names and my brain got confused [05:31] hopefully someone can help here. Installed Nextcloud as a snap package (big mistake) and I can find no documentation on where config files are, etc... has anyone tried to add apps into NC as Snap package? [05:33] <_puneet_> Hello!
