[00:30] OM/wc [01:13] So I'm trying to concatenate all of my 3 hard disks to a single logical volume group via the ubuntu server installer. However, when I select all disks to be a part of the group I am not allowed to continue with the installation. The "Done" (i.e next) button is grayed out [01:14] If I use the single logical volume group, would that install the OS across the span of all 3 disks? [01:28] amazoniantoad, if you don't get a response here, please try #ubuntu-server [01:32] is there a way to tell ubuntu to rescan for monitor resolution [01:32] mine thinks I have 1920x1080 but this thing is 3840x2160 [01:32] It appears to just be using whatever settings it had when the system was installed. [01:43] Bluefoxicy, probably be a driver problem. have you made sure your video driver is up to date [01:44] It's 18.04 running the latest updates [01:44] and an intel HD2000 chipset I think [01:46] I've never had a video problem, but my monitor is only 1902 x 1080 max. and I also have an intel HD Graphics, but an older computer. [01:47] 1920* [02:06] I have an application which I run multiple instances of both on Ubuntu 14 and 16 ... when I run it on 14, I get one single icon and upon right clicking, I get a list of all the instances and can then choose one by clicking on it. When I run it in 16 I get multiple icons ... I want to stack these icons as they are in 14. However when I check xprop of the icon (in 14 and 16) I get WM_CLASS: not found. I am stumped ... how can I achieve what I am wanting to acc [02:06] omplish. [02:32] Does anybody here know why even after installing the appropriate packages, I can't make use of Lua DBI? [03:06] hi guys, does anyone have the .bashrc from a recent ubuntu version? [03:07] I can't download it online! [03:08] linuxthefish: I am on 18.04.1 - recent enough ? [03:09] yeah perfect Bashing-om! [03:11] linuxthefish: http://termbin.com/tbjg . [03:15] you could probably get it by downloading an iso and booting/mounting it [03:16] Aph3x-WL it's a bit of a stretch on 100kbit internet :p [03:16] thanks Bashing-om just what I needed! now my debian install has the same colours for the terminal :D [03:17] linuxthefish: :) Where there is a will there is a way . [03:24] what is the channel name for support for ubuntu mate on a raspberry pi? [03:26] blue1, https://ubuntu-mate.org/irc/ only lists #ubuntu-mate ; none for pi only [03:26] thank you [03:26] i need help with ubuntu mate -- thank you [03:28] blue1, if you ask your question, you may get an answer here (ubuntu-mate is an official flavor thus on-topic in this room) [03:30] the question is why doesn't the latest version of firefox not run on ubuntu-mate (v 61). It is in the repo but it will not run. And will they ever release an 18.04 version of mate, instead of the current 16.04? -- these are mate specific question. [03:34] yep - i'd ask them on #ubuntu-mate; but I think the ports version of firefox are the ESR release; so you can't compare with non-esr release numbers [03:35] ESR = extended support release [03:36] yes -- that's the old version 52 [03:36] it no longer gets updates [03:39] ah well - it has been a learning experience -- nonetheless - thank you for you time. [03:50] alright, im just setting up my first dedicated server [03:50] running ubuntu who's tryin to help thgis idiot setup some domain names [03:51] .....NAMESERVEers I MEAN... [03:51] already created ftp[ accounts, [03:51] which program should i use? [03:52] i use powerdns [03:52] aight, let's do it [03:52] but [03:52] power dns how do it get this going [03:53] normally i just use standalone vps for my nameservers [03:54] give this a read https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-configure-powerdns-with-a-mariadb-backend-on-ubuntu-14-04 [03:54] as far as the install, its on 14.04 but just using powerdns and mariadb, there isnt any difference jumping to 16.04 or higher other than systemd [04:01] what do you think of bind [04:01] I already have that on my server [04:01] never used it [04:01] i mean my local machine [04:03] what you recommond for a mail server [04:06] KurbuntusBain, might want to query in #ubuntu-server channel [04:11] i just use sendmail [04:13] what is this channel for [04:14] !topic | KurbuntusBain [04:14] KurbuntusBain: Please read the channel topic whenever you enter, as it contains important information.

To view it at any time after joining, simply type /topic [04:18] you guys are like, mad at me but nobody is talking anyways lol [04:26] KurbuntusBain: we are not mad, this channel just serves for ubuntu issues hence why cfhowlett has pointed you to topic [04:26] !chat | KurbuntusBain for other chat [04:26] KurbuntusBain for other chat: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please register with NickServ (see /msg ubottu !register) and use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [04:27] how can you add a wifi network that you're not currently nearby? [04:28] no worries, i did register, i was kind of attempting a little late night humor, i will definitely follow the rules and regulations going forward [04:28] ubuntu allows you to connect to existing networks, but there's no way I can see to add a network you cannot immediately connect to [04:28] * cluelessperson found a "Known wifi networks" tab [04:28] but the wifi list gui still freezes up === jje_ is now known as jje [04:30] KurbuntusBain you can also use a free DNS provider such as cloudflare, or the place where you bought your domain from might have basic dns included [04:40] KurbuntusBain also ask in ##linux for general software selection questions === Dreaman is now known as Blade [05:41] hi frens [05:41] i forgot to add a volume to lvm when setting up 16.04 [05:42] now when i try to use pvcreate it says 'excluded by filter' [05:51] 18.04 keyring problem: has old password cant unlock BUT ~/ loxal/share/keyrings/login.keyring has been removed and doea not exist. [05:52] would be wo derful to synch the keyring up with my new password. [05:55] i hot the rm command from askubuntu [05:55] i found the rm command from askubuntu [06:07] how can I permantly change the cursor for the terminal, I dont see an option for it in profile preferences [06:30] granttrec: if there is no setting for it then i expect that terminal won't let you do that. [06:30] to bad, thought it may have been editable in a config file somewhere [06:31] granttrec: is this gnome-terminal? [06:31] ducasse: yeah [06:32] then i don't think that has a config file, it probably uses dconf or whatever gnome uses [06:38] well I guess it time to explore xterm :) [06:41] you can also try xfce4-terminal and lxterminal, both are vte-based like gnome-terminal [06:50] Hi [06:50] How to remove repository via command line let say, i would like to remove universal repository. [06:54] bipul: edit file in /etc/apt/ either sources.list or in sources.list.d/ [06:55] There are no such command like sudo remove-apt-repository universe [06:55] bipul: apt-add-repository -r universe [06:56] ducasse: It says "'universe' distribution component is already disabled for all sources." [06:57] ok, so it should already be disabled [06:57] And again if i have to enable it? [06:57] then? [06:58] bipul: the same without -r [06:58] Is there any man page where i can look more in details? [06:59] okay i got it' [08:18] Hello. Is someone knows how I can convert an UEFI boot to a legacy one from Ubuntu please? [08:19] Simounet: is it the only installed OS? [08:19] ryuo: No, there is a Windows 10 on another disk. [08:20] But I can't boot to it right now because of this UEFI issue. [08:20] Is it booting from Legacy? [08:20] It's installed on legacy mode where I installed Ubuntu on UEFI. [08:20] Windows. [08:20] Not sure how you can do that in this case, honestly. Getting stuff to place nice with windows is tricky. [08:20] Right now, no, but it was before I do stupid things. [08:21] But you said windows is on another disk entirely? [08:21] Yep. [08:21] Hm. [08:21] You can convert Linux from UEFI to Legacy, but you can't do the same with Windows without a reinstall i believe. [08:22] Windows is in legacy mode. [08:22] but it will require some manual changes. [08:22] I can walk you through it in M. [08:22] PM [08:22] If you wish. It's rather involved. [08:22] Yes please! :D [08:22] I'm struggling with that for 3 days. [08:24] !pm [08:24] Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. [08:24] ducasse: well. if you insist. i didn't want to spam the channel. [08:26] this channel is explicitly for supporting users, so i wouldn't call it spam :) [08:26] hi [08:26] Simounet: let's do it here. [08:26] Ok. [08:26] As you want. [08:26] Simounet: please pastebin the output of this: fdisk -l /dev/sdb === terry__ is now known as Tabmow [08:26] I originally assumed your label would by GPT, but it's not evidently. [08:27] Disk /dev/sdb: 465.8 GiB, 500107862016 bytes, 976773168 sectors [08:27] Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes [08:27] Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes [08:27] I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes [08:27] Disklabel type: dos [08:27] Not here! [08:27] Disk identifier: 0x8a919e19 [08:27] I meant for you to use web pastebin. [08:27] I want to install isync (to sync mailbox) but my system version is too old. So I have downloaded a newer tar.gz from sourceforge and do the classical ./configure && make && make install [08:28] but isync is not installed ? althoug I have no config or install errors [08:29] Simounet: paste it here and give us a link: http://dpaste.com/ [08:29] jil: which release are you on? [08:29] ryuo: http://termbin.com/15vg [08:29] Or that. [08:29] Sorry about that. [08:30] Simounet: first of all, that ESP needs to go if you want to use Legacy again... [08:30] Simounet: i'd modify the partition table and change its type. You can just keep it as unused space. [08:30] It's the least invasive. [08:31] ryuo: I'll just change the flag? [08:31] Simounet: not the flag, the partition type. See the "ef"? [08:31] That's it's type. [08:31] Aka, the "Id" column. [08:31] ducasse I'm using uname -a >> Linux idev 4.4.0-53-generic #74-Ubuntu SMP Fri Dec 2 15:59:10 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [08:32] ryuo: Ok because in gparted, I can see esp into the flags column. [08:32] Simounet: oh. sorry, i don't know how to use parted. I just use fdisk and gdisk. [08:32] jil: 'lsb_release -ds' [08:32] Simounet: you can try changing the flag. [08:33] Simounet: either way, for Legacy to work, you can't have an ESP. [08:33] I'll try and termbin the result. [08:33] Just changing the type should be enough to make the BIOS thing it's no longer there. [08:33] Can it keeps the boot flag? [08:33] Simounet: you need that flag in some cases. best to leave it. [08:33] Ok. [08:34] http://termbin.com/c3gg [08:34] ducasse: Linux Mint 18.1 Serena [08:34] !mint | jil [08:35] jil: The Ubuntu channels can only provide support for Ubuntu and its official flavors, since other distributions and derivatives have repository and software changes. So please use their dedicated support venues, for example: Linux Mint (#linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org), Kali Linux (#kali-linux), and LXLE (#lxle) [08:35] jil: LM isn't supported here. [08:35] jil: visit their official support over on spotchat. [08:35] I believe it's bundled with their XChat client. [08:35] jil: there is also ##linuxmint here on freenode [08:35] Simounet: ok. that should do it for that part. [08:36] ok. [08:36] Simounet: Next, you need to make some changes to your installation so it has the right bootloader. [08:36] Simounet: this will require some chroot and mounting. you up for it? [08:36] Yep. [08:36] I'm used to it. [08:37] which partition is root? [08:37] No so handy with boot things, that's it. [08:37] sdb5? [08:37] Yep. [08:37] sdb7 is /home. [08:37] Ok. [08:37] we're going to use /mnt as the base. [08:37] Ok. [08:37] Do these commands, i'll paste them. sec. [08:38] http://dpaste.com/1JAXDEQ [08:38] this is to mount everything. [08:39] Ready? [08:39] Ok. [08:39] I did it. [08:40] env LC_ALL= LANG=C TERM=xterm chroot /mnt /bin/bash -l [08:40] this next. [08:41] Enough to simulate a working environment. [08:42] chroot: failed to run command '/bin/bash': No such file or directory [08:42] o.O [08:42] What the? [08:42] What kind of install is this? you should have bash, [08:42] I did it twice, the first time I get mesg: ttyname failed: No such device [08:42] Oh. [08:42] You only need to do it once. [08:42] Sorry. [08:43] I have bash. [08:43] Ok... [08:43] /bin/bash is here. [08:43] output from this please: dpkg -l | grep grub [08:44] (needs to be from the chroot shell) [08:45] https://pastebin.com/skEkv5rm [08:45] Ok. Figured as much. [08:45] Part 1, we need to install grub-pc. [08:45] apt update && apt install grub-pc [08:46] This should also remove grub-efi as a side-effect. [08:46] http://dpaste.com/331EGGR [08:46] Yep. [08:46] That sounds good. [08:46] Ok. Go ahead. [08:47] Done, I'm in the menu. [08:47] To choose the grub position. [08:47] You should choose /dev/sdb. [08:48] Done. http://dpaste.com/0WE0M4N [08:48] Still EFI sh*t. [08:48] But maybe is it normal. [08:48] Uh... [08:48] Not normally, no. It probably is because you're booted under EFI. [08:49] Output of this please: dpkg -l | grep grub [08:49] http://dpaste.com/28JHV2K [08:49] :( [08:50] Ok... [08:50] try this. [08:50] apt autoremove --purge grub-efi-amd64 grub-efi-amd64-bin grub-efi-amd64-signed [08:50] Guys can i run apt-get in elementary OS. Says it's based off ubuntu [08:50] The following packages will be REMOVED: grub-efi-amd64* grub-efi-amd64-bin* grub-efi-amd64-signed* shim* shim-signed* [08:51] A_J: yes, or apt even, but this isn't their support channel. [08:51] Simounet: that's normal. Go ahead. [08:51] You won't be needing the shim. [08:51] ryuo, ik. Just wanted to check it is indeed ubuntu before installing. [08:51] http://dpaste.com/136AQ6K [08:52] Simounet: ok. [08:52] Simounet: we're going to try some manual setup of GRUB now. [08:52] Simounet: first: grub-install --recheck /dev/sdb [08:53] * A_J thanks ryuo [08:53] http://dpaste.com/09HFPQ7 [08:53] Simounet: looks good so far. [08:53] Simounet: now: update-grub [08:54] http://dpaste.com/0SPTNYA [08:54] :( [08:54] I'd ignore that for now. [08:54] Ok. [08:54] I think we're done. [08:54] Though odd that it doesn't see Windows. [08:54] Deal with that later. [08:54] exit the chroot. [08:55] Oh oh. [08:55] 2mn. [08:55] gparted was opened... [08:55] I presume you'll need to be booted in Legacy first. [08:55] Can I try again the update-grub? [08:55] Oui vay. [08:55] Go ahead. [08:55] I know it locks the partition. [08:55] Just need to return to the chroot. [08:56] Arf. [08:56] Same issue. [08:56] I think it's unrelated to gparted. [08:56] Ok. [08:56] [ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo UEFI || echo BIOS [08:56] From this command. [08:57] UEFI [08:57] It'll tell you whether your booted in UEFI or what. [08:57] That's why. [08:57] :'( [08:57] GRUB is responding to the UEFI mode. [08:57] Anyway. [08:57] It shouldn't matter now. [08:57] Let's try unmounting the partitions and rebooting [08:57] umount -R /mnt [08:57] Ok. [08:57] From chroot? [08:57] NO. [08:57] Ok. [08:58] Exit and then run it. [08:58] I exit. [08:58] Done. [08:58] now reboot. If this fails, then we'll need to try again with the live cd booted under BIOS. [08:59] What do you mean by "booted under BIOS". Like I am right now? [08:59] No. [08:59] You're booted under UEFI. [08:59] You know it as Legacy. [08:59] BIOS is what this mode used to be called. [08:59] I tried all day long yesterday to be boot in legacy mode but failed. [08:59] The Live CD? [08:59] I'm on a USB key. [08:59] Indeed. [08:59] How did you prepare it? [09:00] The first time with Rufus, the second time with etcher. Same result. [09:00] Uh... [09:00] Yes, that's why I get mad. [09:00] It may be they're only capable of one mode or the other. [09:00] I've never had this problem when i used dd to copy over the ISO. [09:00] Ubuntu uses hybrid ISOs. [09:00] Do I need to burn it to a DVD? [09:01] Can it change something? [09:01] Doubtful. [09:01] :( [09:01] But, using dd is how I normally prepare my USB keys. [09:01] Ok. [09:01] But, first. [09:01] See if you can boot the Linux install. [09:01] Yep. I'll do that right now. [09:02] Frankly, i've never tried to fix grub in this manner so no idea if it'll work. [09:02] Thanks for your help. I'll be back. [09:05] ryuo: Ok, back to my system. [09:06] OMG. [09:06] I'm not on EFI anymore. [09:06] And grub-customize can see W10. [09:07] Feel free to reformat the old ESP partition to repurpose it. It's rather complicated if you want to use its space for something else. [09:08] No, I don't want to mess it up. :p [09:08] Just want a clean install. [09:08] With real boot partition on the good place. [09:08] To do that, you'd need to install under Legacy mode from the start. [09:08] Ubuntu defaults to installing for the type of system it is booted from. [09:09] Now, the USB key prep I was talking about is something like this: [09:09] dd if=ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sd??? bs=1M [09:09] change as required. [09:09] Ok, I'll do that. [09:10] But. [09:10] Be careful to get the device name correct. [09:10] One typo and you'll fry the wrong device. [09:10] Yep of course, I know what dd is capable of. [09:10] :D [09:10] sdc is likely your key. [09:10] Exactly. [09:11] if you're using official Ubuntu ISOs, your resulting file will be capable of booting under 4 configurations. [09:11] I'll try to boot to W10, then plug my others HD that I disconnected not to mess everything. [09:11] Then use the key. [09:11] err 2, since this is USB flash drive. [09:12] is there a way to insatall ubuntu whit newer kernel? [09:12] Simounet: honestly though, i'd suggest an iodd2531 if you want a more professional solution. [09:12] i have 2400g and when i boot from usb graphics is broken [09:12] Gnjurac: what version of Ubuntu? [09:13] 18.04? [09:13] i tryed xubuntu you think it hase to do whit DE flawor, 18.04 [09:13] yep [09:13] No. 18.04 ships with a 4.15 kernel. [09:13] should stop looking down while typing xD [09:13] Hm. [09:14] What happens when you try to boot? [09:14] ryuo: iodd2531? [09:14] Simounet: http://iodd.kr/wordpress/product/iodd-2531/ [09:14] i get like just one corner of screen [09:15] like resolution is broken and screen starts from mid [09:15] Gnjurac: have you tried booting anothe distro like Manjaro? If a newer kernel would make a difference, this would tell you. [09:15] yep am typing atm form stupit manjaro [09:15] Hm. [09:15] ryuo: Thanks again. You saved the day! [09:15] This is a stab in the dark. [09:15] But... [09:15] Gnjurac: you can try booting linux livecd with amdgpu.dc=0 [09:16] that may make a difference. [09:16] hmm i dont see any option when booting form usb to change anything [09:16] Hm... [09:16] like nodmoset or soemthing [09:16] You'd need to get to the bootloader command line. [09:16] yep i know [09:16] but duno how [09:17] anywya my plan was to install ubuntu and just pull that newers kernel mesa from ppa [09:18] Do you have another system you can install from? You could install to the drive from another system and then install it back into the desktop when you're done preparing the environment. [09:18] hmm meybe i should try minimal iso thats all terminal [09:18] https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/85vav4/how_i_installed_ubuntu_1804_with_ryzen_2200g/ [09:18] this may be of some use. [09:19] I expect this issue will be resolved in Ubuntu 18.04.2, as this will have the first HWE packages. [09:19] i have another system but issue is this new PC i bouth m2ssd and old pc cant use it [09:19] Oh. [09:19] any ata on 18.04.2 [09:19] Not for a good while. [09:19] 18.04.1 was released in july. [09:20] Hm... [09:20] Sec. [09:20] Gnjurac: which bootloader screen do you see? [09:21] Gnjurac: not until some time like january, about 3 months after release of 18.10 [09:21] Do you see a black and white grub screen? [09:21] If so, it's using EFI grub... [09:21] no if i do i would just prees E or whatewer is for editing [09:21] Gnjurac: you can try 18.10 in october, though [09:21] i see that xfce mousethingy in bot [09:21] or i am blind [09:21] can restart again and check [09:22] Gnjurac: i'm trying to say you should boot with a special kernel parameter. [09:22] But, how you do so depends on which you're booting from. [09:22] ye i know [09:22] if it's booting in Legacy mode, you should get a colorful screen. [09:22] first. [09:22] just i dont think it even showed me grub screep [09:23] Ubuntu ISOs boot to some bootloader screen to give you a chance to configure it. [09:23] i just put usb , picked boot from usb, and it just shooted me to install screen [09:23] meybe cuz i am trying xubuntu [09:24] This reminds me of how Apollo Lake was incompatible with Ubuntu Xenial due to platform bugs... [09:29] Gnjurac: by 'install screen' do you mean the fully loaded graphical desktop? or a text 'graphics' menu where you may choose 'install ubuntu' and a couple other options? [09:30] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [09:30] found it [09:30] up form Here is advanced page [09:30] Gnjurac: if this is an amd64 or i686 architecture (so intel 32- or 64 bit) and the grub menu wont load, either hold down shift or keephitting escape during boot [09:30] "Here is the advanced welcome page: " [09:30] up img but i tryed to press button esc [09:30] will try again whit some other button [09:31]
