[00:00] When I install macchanger, it gives me the option to automatically change my MAC every time I start my wifi card. I said no for now, but I might want to do this in the future. How can I access that first install configuration in the future? [00:00] would I have to un-install and reinstall the package each time to use this feature? [00:25] hi what is the name of the off topic channel? [00:38] JFox762, #ubuntu-offtopic [00:41] Hello I can't get wireless drivers working on the latest LTS version of Xubuntu 64 bit and synaptic package manager isn't installed wat do I do? [00:41] wireless chipset is broadcom [00:53] Mark-Potter, https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/net-wireless-troubleshooting.html.en may be the first step (broadcom is a manufacturer that makes lots of chipsets...) [00:53] guiverc: Thanks [00:53] Let's try it this way then [00:54] Where can I download synaptic so I can use it to deal with this conundrum? [00:55] apt-get synaptic? [00:55] apt-get install synaptic* [00:56] Toadisattva: Easier said then done on a laptop without an internet connection on Linux [00:56] I dual boot and can do it on windows [00:56] However there is no way of doing that on Windows [00:56] oh yes internets might help [00:56] download on another machine, copy to usb-thumb-drive, use sneaker-net to walk it to desired system, mount & dpkg -i .. [00:56] So what do I do? Presumably beg Steve Ballamer for forgiveness and get rid of my Xubuntu partition? [00:56] xD [00:56] * Mark-Potter was messing around [00:57] guiverc: Where can I find the link to download it on Windows [00:57] also what is sneaker-net [00:57] copying files to tape, floppy, usb-thumb drive & walking from machine to machine :) (from 1970s) [00:57] you can probably grab a copy from github [00:58] if you could apt-get it would download from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu... - download as if you were apt-get ? [00:59] guiverc: I wish I was alive back then. :( Anyway is there a way of emulating apt-get or synaptic on windows? [00:59] or at least finding the same links that apt-get would use? [00:59] or getting apt-get to just give the download link like I could with synaptic [00:59] Mark-Potter, I'd use a browser; grab the url, wget the file wanted, then `dpkg -i` to install [00:59] guiverc: How do you grab the url? [01:00] you could get the .deb from here https://pkgs.org/download/synaptic [01:00] the browser of your choice - https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=synaptic tells you it's in universe; so navigate there etc.. for your release [01:00] I think xubuntu should have a package manager to install it that way? [01:00] save you building it from source [01:02] Toadisattva: Not possible without internet I find using a package manager to install synaptic quite odd lol [01:02] actually nvm [01:04] Mark-Potter, eg. http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/s/synaptic/ is where my navigation on browser took me - that contains the ubuntu sources where I'd wget from... (I'd match version with prior link I gave) [01:04] thanks :) [01:05] you can download that on windoze and dpkg should already be installed [01:05] * Toadisattva shrugs [01:06] got it thanks I guess dpkg would be my bad :P [01:12] If I don't have the neccessary dependencies will it tell me or just awkwardly refuse to install the downloaded .deb package [01:12] presumably this is why using a package manager is recommended above downloading from the http:// interface [01:13] am I right or are there actually other reasons [01:19] `dpkg` requires deps to be pre-install, or installed at the same time, if they aren't present, you'll receive errors which is pretty clear (and tells you what you need; useful & no consequences as nothing gets done) [01:26] Mark-Potter... It is likely an issue with the new kernel... Download an older release [01:26] Thanks Intel [01:26] WolfRage: Thanks [01:27] My Lenovo is also not able to use the newer kernel for now until Intel fixes there broken hacks to mitigate Spectre [01:33] how do I find out the version of the driver that comes with the latest kernel?

[01:39] hi frens [01:39] sayo-: the drivers must have their own version numbers, not the same as the kernel they shit with [01:39] i need to extend a logical volume because my root filesystem is full [01:39] i've read a bunch of stuff and still am struggling [02:09] lol [02:09] useless === ChooseCK is now known as OffoW === r0Oter is now known as r00ter [04:02] hey hey hey [04:19] originalabhay: good morning, what can we do for you? [04:28] how comes ubuntu 18.04 went to screensaver while the video was playing? it shouldn't happen at all. it's 18.04. it was fixed a long ago. broken again? or some developer took the "fix" code out? sorry, i'm frustrated. [04:31] IcemanV9: holdon i have a recent bug on it [04:32] IcemanV9: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xscreensaver/+bug/1790110 can you please affect yourself here? [04:32] Launchpad bug 1790110 in xscreensaver (Ubuntu) "Xscreensaver overrides vlc smplayer and caffeine " [Undecided,New] [04:35] okay. it was ESPN video playing (Miami vs LSU). screensaver came on. [04:37] IcemanV9: feel free to add your personal story to the bug [04:37] does anyone know how a script or of anyway to have iperf send an email alert when a transfer takes a certain amount of time, for example lets say sending 5GB takes < than 5 mins than email [04:38] lotuspsychje: yes. i'm trying to add my story to it. [05:01] lotuspsychje: done. took me a while as i haven't done in a very long time. : ) [05:24] IcemanV9: let me take a look :p [05:24] IcemanV9: thank you for taking your time to add your issue [05:25] IcemanV9: is this gnome-screensaver on your system? [05:26] lotuspsychje: yeah, i'm using gnome as desktop. [05:27] lotuspsychje: so i guess it's gnome-screensaver, but same issue with xscreensaver. [05:28] IcemanV9: its because gnome-screensaver is not installed by default, hence why i ask [05:28] !info gnome-screensaver bionic [05:28] gnome-screensaver (source: gnome-screensaver): GNOME screen saver and locker. In component universe, is optional.

[05:34] IcemanV9: what i think happens is, the system settings/energy control now what happens [05:35] IcemanV9: you could try a few things perhaps, with gnome-screensaver or xscreensaver, but i suspect it will be the same as my end [05:36] IcemanV9: i tested in all players here, and non are blocking screensaver [05:37] IcemanV9: can you also press the button at the top of the bug, this bug affects me [05:39] So [05:40] Nvm asking in Linux [05:41] timyp: your ubuntu version please? [05:42] lotuspsychje 16.04 LTS [05:42] timyp: desktop or server [05:43] snap install throttle - is there a page that shows where the source came from, like https://packages.ubuntu.com [05:46] does not really matter I'd perfer the server to send the emails [05:47] I have local sendmail working so root can send email and cronjobs also send emails as well [05:48] actually I replace sendmail with [05:48] CarlFK: can: snap info throttle, help? [05:48] oh and client and server are both running iperf 2.0.5 [05:49] timyp: try #ubuntu-server mate, they are used to these questions [05:50] ook [05:51] lotuspsychje: welp, TIL snap info, but this doesn't have links to anything but an email http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/xHGXqg7CT9/ [05:53] CarlFK: i just tryed snap download throttle, but doesnt show the source location neither.. [06:07] Hello all. [06:09] I have installed Maltego CE from there official website, it installed properly, but, could not launch the application. [07:02] hi, in ubuntu server systlogd is taking so much of cpu [07:07] dudeji, You may want to check with #ubuntu-server [07:07] JimBuntu: we have been running this for an year [07:07] what is cause of this ? [07:07] dudeji, what CPU? [07:08] yeah earlier this problem was not there [07:08] few days back this started up [07:08] but once we restart server it works fine for few days. [07:08] then again comes back [07:09] dudeji, interesting in a bad way. What version of Ubuntu ? Have you prepared a list of all installed packages? [07:10] nope [07:11] basic logic is that we were using the same server for almost an year [07:11] and no issue with that [07:11] suddenly whu [07:11] why [07:12] dudeji - mention me when/if you come back [07:13] derp, dudeji probably wont see that, === Richard is now known as Guest19338 [07:56] does ubuntu use GPT or MBR or neither [07:57] ricemuffinball: ubuntu can use one or the other [07:57] is mbr and gpt only partition scheme out there? or are there more [07:59] those are the two that are commonly used today [08:03] what is most popular FS for ubuntu [08:07] EXt4 [08:12] what is max cluster size you can use for ext4 [08:17] I'm on Ubuntu 16.04. [08:17] I have direct cable connection to laptop with wifi hotspot for portable devices. [08:17] I had a problem with loading pages. I cold connect to some pages (like youtube.com, facebook, instagram, google.com) and couldn't connect to some other pages(lots of them). I also could receive emails through email client. [08:17] It appeared that it was mtu problem. I manually edited pppoe connection config file at /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections after disconnecting network and stopping NetworkManager service. I have added mru=1492 mtu=1492 and after I connected all the stuff back everything began to work as regular. [08:17] Except wifi hotspot =( [08:18] The problem with page loading remained only for wifi hotspot. [08:18] I tried to add the line with mtu=1492 to hotspot connection config file. Thad didn't work. Same as changing this parameter using NetworkManager. [08:18] What else to try? [08:22] Selecting any choice in ubuntu livecd is presenting me with a black screen.. what gives? [08:22] hello, ive set up dual monitors like this: xrandr --output VGA-0 --auto --left-of DVI-0 [08:22] its working as intended but how do i swap the main displays? [08:23] at the moment the main display is set to the left monitor and i want it to be the right one [08:23] main monitor meaning that it has the lxde taskbar [08:24] oh nvm, was able to move the lxde panel over to the right monitor [08:25] but that does not seem to be the correct solution [08:25] because new windows will always open on the left monitor [08:25] Selecting any choice in ubuntu livecd is presenting me with a black screen.. what gives? I am trying to launch it on a Ryzen 2500U laptop [08:26] hollusion: display settings set primary/secondary [08:27] i will try that [08:27] hollusion: add --primary to your xrandr call === amitprakash_ is now known as amitprakash [08:28] ok.. irc.ubuntu is now freenode! sorry for the duplicate [08:31] setting primary did not move the panel over to the primary monitor but new windows will open on it now, so i moved the panel by hand [08:31] thank you [08:34] have you tried logout/login or maybe even restarting computer. one of them might have helped [08:34] * SimonNL <= no idea [08:37] good morning. [08:47] Is there an ubuntu livecd for kernel 4.16 or newer? [09:14] amitprakash: that would be the cosmic dailies, if anything, but it appears there aren't any yet === SimonNL is now known as SimonNL_Afk [09:23] ducasse, amitprakash: there is http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ [09:25] cool, they weren't mentioned in the topic in #ubuntu+1. i'm still wary of recommending those as a solution, though. === pavlushka_ is now known as pavlushka [09:36] running ubuntu 18.04 inside virtualbox v5.2.14 on windows 7 host - can't make mic working - any advice? [09:40] tomreyn, thanks [09:42] does ubuntu have backports? [09:42] amitprakash: those are of the development release, though, don't use if you don't know how to handle problems you might run into [09:43] !backports | usney [09:43] usney: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [09:43] I do.. the issues are due to newer hardware (R7 2700U) [09:44] ducasse how do I upgrade to gimp 2.10? [09:44] I just want to be able to get to a TTY [09:45] amitprakash: what's the issue with booting regular ubuntu 18.04? [09:45] blackscreen [09:45] I see. Seems to be different for each person. [09:45] usney: you can try the snap [09:45] Really need those HWEs in 18.04.2 [09:45] Tried booting after removing the quiet and splash entries in the grub prompt.. but no messages at all [09:46] amdgpu.dc might play a role. [09:46] I am guessing it has to do w/ secure boot and vega (not yet supported by amdgpu in mesa) [09:46] But there is no way to disable AMD SME [09:47] thanks ducasse === lotuspsychje_ is now known as lotus|NUC [10:05] amitprakash: did you try booting the standard 18.04 installer with either amdgpu.dc=0 or amdgpu.dc=1 (as has been suggested to you multiple times)? [10:05] 18.04.1 amd64 desktop that is [10:05] you could also install using the server installer, then boot into it, install one of the graphics ppas and ubuntu-desktop and reboot again. [10:06] hi [10:06] which app can show cpu load visually? [10:06] amitprakash: those options are probably better than installing a cosmic (18.10, a non LTS release) preview [10:07] neure: htop [10:08] something with nice window, not a command line tool [10:08] ssh questions for the "pros": wifi and ethernet interface - each connected to internet - wifi staticIP 192.168.178.100, ethernet static ip 192.168.1.200. ssh -b 192.168.1.200 user@externalIP is working, ssh -b 192.168.178.100 user@externalIP is not. traceroute -i interface is showing that it's possible for both interfaces to reach the internet. [10:08] (i know htop and i do use commandline plenty) === Richard is now known as Guest60749 [10:08] something like htop but with GUI would be nice [10:10] neure: which ubuntu release? which desktop? === SimonNL_Afk is now known as SimonNL [10:21] @tomreyn, Yes I have [10:21] It just gives me a black screen [10:21] And so does cosmic [10:26] amitprakash: what is "it"? [10:26] live usb's for ubuntu [10:26] On a R7 2700U machine [10:27] amitprakash: so all of the 18.04.1 desktop live/install, server installer, alternative server installer do this? [10:27] Yes [10:28] Booting arch tells me it can't find the usb mount [10:28] Booting gentoo shows me no HDDs [10:28] Every single distro is failing atm [10:28] well, we only support ubuntu here [10:28] Hi im looking how allow nginx process more than one request from one user- found this https://gist.github.com/denji/8359866 but this block request queue now allow multiple request processing. (i need this because when admin upload multiple files - cannot open site in new browser) [10:28] I know.. just highlighting how broken this hardware is [10:29] amitprakash: bios fully updated? [10:29] I would be happy if the liveusb showed some messages even after removing quiet/splash from the grub command, but no [10:29] Just a damn black screen [10:29] And yes [10:32] amitprakash: the desktop live/usb and the server 'live' installer will switch to a different video mode early during the installation. i think the alternate installer doesn't. you can also try booting the installers with vga=788 [10:32] or vga=785 [10:32] How about just fbdev [10:32] I don't want a gui [10:32] I just want a cli [10:32] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VESA_BIOS_Extensions#Linux_video_mode_numbers === pavlushka_ is now known as pavlushka [10:34] Aight, let me try this [10:34] Sorry, I've been doing this for 3 days now [10:34] more options are listed at https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.15/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.html [10:35] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions on how to use them [10:38] Hi. I am trying to upgrade Ubuntu to Bionic, but am getting an error: Kernel must be upgraded [10:38] And after upgrade (seems to be) aborted: libc-bin : Depends: libc6 (> 2.27) but 2.23-0ubuntu10 is installed [10:39] I gather that I need to upgrade the kernel. Am on a VPS. It was my impression that dist-upgrade was supposed to upgrade the kernel, but that does not seem o do anything now [10:40] Can someone tell me if there is a straightforward way to upgrade the kernel or otherwise what I need to do? [10:43] samgoody: how are you upgrading? [10:43] and where from? [10:46] libc6 2.23-0ubuntu10 is from xenial, so i assume you're trying to upgrade from 16.04.5 to 18.04.1. but unless you ppa-purged, then did dist-upgrade within xenial, then ran do-release-upgrade, this would not have been a safe upgrade path. [10:47] the libc6 message you quoted can be indicative of a worst case scenario as a result of not preparing the upgrade properly / at all. [10:48] * tomreyn bbl [10:52] tomreyn, ubuntu 16.04, desktop is .. how do i know? [10:52] default desktop? [10:53] how do i see which desktop im running? [10:55] neure, echo $DESKTOP_SESSION [10:56] gnome [11:02] I have 24h format everywhere on google calendar/OS ... but Lightning in Thunderbird still shows times in 12h PM/AM format...anyone know why? [11:17] chindy: because it is configured somewhere globally and Lightning in Thunderbird doesn't care or is overridden somewhere? [11:18] chindy: check this as well: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1154188 [11:19] and chindy: is it only Lightning in Thunderbird and not Thunderbird as a whole? I'd go through the Lightning options/configuration and ask for help from the Lightning devs if you're not succesful [11:25] Folks, is there a working way to switch 18.04 from wayland back to xorg completely? On my machine, "GNOME (xorg) session" blanks the screen for a few moments and then immediately returns me to the login screen. Forcing EnableWayland=false in gdm.conf even removes this chooser and doesn't let me login at all... [11:26] xorg already is the default on bionic [11:27] How can I check whether I am running wayland or xorg? TeamViewer, in example, says that a bunch of features "aren't supported on wayland". [11:29] you can select which display server protocol to use on the login screen, [11:29] i.e., don't pick 'ubuntu on wayland' and you've got X [11:32] I installed vanilla GNOME and I can't choose "Wayland" in there - only "GNOME" or "GNOME (xorg)". "GNOME" (without xorg) is apparently default, and I have an Xwayland process running on display :0. Using "GNOME (xorg)" doesn't seem to work. [11:33] 18.04 already comes with gnome, what exactly did you install? [11:35] Installed plain 18.04 and, on top of that, "vanilla" GNOME settings according to https://itsfoss.com/vanilla-gnome-ubuntu/ . [11:36] z428: alright [11:37] time to check the logs [11:37] what do .xsession-errors and Xorg.*.log say? [11:38] i'm not using gdm, but i'd bet it has logs as well [11:39] I'll have a look and see whether I can find something. brb. [11:40] Hello, how do I install and use nvidia drivers in ubuntu 18.04? In "Software & Updates" I have selected nvidia instead of nouveau, but the system is still using nouveau. [11:41] hey [11:41] foo357: what chipset do you have? [11:41] my friend's laptop is experiencing the following, it charges when turned off but not when turned on [11:41] it detects charger but stops charging after 5 or so seconds when turned on [11:41] it's ubuntu 18.04 [11:41] any ideas? [11:42] lotus|NUC: GP104GL ... that's the chipset, right? [11:42] yes [11:42] foo357: try ubuntu-drivers list to see wich drivers are available for your system [11:43] lotus|NUC: ok, it reports nvidia-driver-390 ... (no other entries) [11:44] foo357: ok, try sudo apt install nvidia-driver-390 [11:45] lotus|NUC: already installed [11:47] lotus|NUC: Another thing about the drivers is that there has been some wierdness with uefi boot. [11:49] lotus|NUC: I have been promted several times to set an uefi password which was needed to install third-party drivers. I should probably disable uefi... I don't think that uefi has any effect on the issue that the system is still using nouveau? [11:50] dionysus69: probably an ACPI issue. did it work fine with previous ubuntu releases with the same bios / uefi configuration? [11:51] neure: in case you'd still like support, how did you upgrade? [11:54] I see things such as this, which apparently makes my Xorg break: [11:54] gnome-session[2238]: gnome-session-binary[2238]: CRITICAL: We failed, but the fail whale is dead. Sorry.... [11:55] lol, sorry [11:55] And there are plenty of things such as "/usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-x-session[1033]: (WW) modeset(0): Page flip failed: Permission denied". [11:57] can you tell whether these are current? some log locations of the graphics stack have moved between 16.04 and 18.04 [11:58] Yes, they are. That's /var/log/syslog from today. I actually don't see an error in any of the Xorg logs. [11:59] z428: ^ also, do you have ubuntu-desktop installed? [11:59] (the package) [11:59] !releasenotes [11:59] Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic Beaver) release notes can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BionicBeaver/ReleaseNotes [12:00] the release notes state that "X.org logs may now be found at ~/.local/share/xorg" [12:04] What happened to global menus in Ubuntu? [12:04] ubuntu-desktop is not installed, no; it seems ubuntu-desktop has been removed on my device all along with removing the gnome-games and similar things. [12:04] the log file doesn't say anything specific, just something like "server terminated successfully(0)". [12:05] z428: so no (EE) records? [12:05] z428: neother in syslog (I've also seen X log into that, and am not sure when it logs where)? [12:06] This: (EE) open /dev/fb0: Permission denied [12:06] caliculk: you mean global menus like macOS has? [12:06] yes [12:06] ... but this comes extremely early in the process, before all the modeline stuff. Didn't *seem* related to the server finally terminating. [12:06] sorry, callipygous [12:06] :) [12:06] (wrong name) [12:07] I know it uses Gnome 3 now [12:07] Was that a limitation with using Gnome? [12:07] callipygous: I think they got removed when Ubuntu switched to Gnome in 18.04. It's a huge mistake. Gnome is a very wasteful design, only good for hipster touchscreen users, not regular Desktop work. [12:07] z428: and /var/log/Xorg.*.log has no (EE) lines either, right? [12:07] I don't like Gnome 3...I like it when Ubuntu used Gnome 2 [12:08] tomreyn: Right. [12:08] Plasma and Gnome 3 are terrible [12:08] I switched to Xubunut (Xfce) a long time ago since I just want a god damned Desktop the way god intended them to be. [12:08] I like Enlightenment...but it needs some polish for it's modules [12:08] tomreyn: It also *seems* it is correctly detecting my i915 display hardware and mostly setting things up. Just ends at some point. :| [12:09] callipygous, adrian_1908: you two are entirely entitled to your opinions, but please don't discuss them on this (support only) channel. there is #uubntu-discuss and -offtopic [12:09] oh okay, np, tomreyn [12:09] tomreyn: sorry, got it! [12:09] thanks :) [12:10] z428: i guess i'd just install ubuntu-desktop. [12:10] i don't know whether it will ultimately fix it, but there's a certain chance it will. [12:10] it's installed by default [12:10] tomreyn: Hmmm, ok, so I'll see what happens and eventually try to figure out which package is *actually* causing this behaviour. Thanks for now. :) [12:13] good luck! [12:13] lotus|NUC: I disabled Secure Boot and it solved the problem, at next boot ubuntu switched over to using the nvidia driver. [12:19] foo357: you dont *need* to disable secure boot in uefi, only in the bootloader shim [12:19] foo357: see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UEFI/SecureBoot/DKMS [12:20] but if it works then no worries === jstein_ is now known as jstein [12:41] hi [12:43] where do I download synaptic on windows so I can install it on ubuntu?

[12:52] <|subz3r0|> just want to get status emails from virtual machines, router and so on... [13:02] Mr-Potter: put a cable in your ubuntu system? [13:02] Hi. I am trying to upgrade Ubuntu from 16.04 to Bionic, but am getting an error: Kernel must be upgraded [13:02] samgoody: wich kernel is that you are on? [13:03] lotus|NUC: Yeah fair point [13:03] have you tried the update manager? [13:03] Linux 2.6.32-042stab130.1 [13:03] On a VPS [13:04] also what do i do when xubuntu hangs at the stage of asking me where i am? This is on a seperate PC btw [13:05] samgoody: that doesnt look like the 16.04 kernel..we can only support official ubuntu and its kernels here [13:05] and how do i get wifi to automatically connect so my noob parents don't have to ask me how every time? They are quite lacking in knowledge but I digress! [13:05] It was my impression that dist-upgrade was supposed to upgrade the kernel, but that instead throws: The following packages have unmet dependencies: [13:05] libc-bin : Depends: libc6 (> 2.27) but 2.23-0ubuntu10 is installed [13:06] samgoody: i think it would be best you contact your vps admin [13:07] how do I even find out the dependencies when installing from a .deb package [13:08] thank you [13:08] Mr-Potter: apt takes care of dependencies, when installing a package from the repos [13:09] Mr-Potter: when installing external ppa's they 'could' contain external ppa's, wich we dont support here [13:09] external deb [13:14] lotus|NUC: I don't mean that I mean a .deb file installed from an internal ppa [13:14] How do I find out the dependencie [13:14] s [13:17] Mr-Potter: can you tell us the whole story please, wich deb are you gonna install from where to do what? [13:18] lotus|NUC: Say if I wanted to install packages from the ubuntu archives [13:26] Mr-Potter: apt takes cares of dependencies when installing a package.. === mkv is now known as m4v [14:12] Hello! I'm thinkinga bout installing Ubuntu 18.04 and I think I probably need/want to do manual partitioning, but I'm not sure what my partitions should look like. I have a 120GB SSD, a 2TB spinning disk, and a 3TB spinning disk. How can I set this up to boot off the SSD, but use the other disks for all my data? [14:13] Sorry if this sounds like a silly question - I'm trying to move over from Windows and haven't deal with multiple drives in a Linux install before. [14:14] dethmourne: i would go for 120 ssd for ubuntu, and you can use your other 2 for data indeed [14:14] dethmourne: the ubuntu setup lets you choose wich hd you want for the ubuntu install [14:15] Right, but I was trying to figure out how to put /home on both of the other drives (like as a spanned volume?) and I can't seem to figure that out. [14:15] !home | dethmourne [14:15] dethmourne: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving [14:15] Oh, slick! [14:16] dethmourne: everyone has another view on this, personally i like /home on the ssd, and manage the data on the other bigger hd's [14:17] dethmourne: but moving /home is the users choice, possible :p [14:19] So what you'd do in my situation, then, is something like mount the big drives as /2tb and /3tb, and then manually set up data there? [14:19] dethmourne: if it was me yes, but as i say depends on what you really want [14:19] Hi All, When I tried to install "sudo apt-get install libelf-dev" I'm getting "libelf-dev : Depends: libelf1 (= 0.158-0ubuntu5.3) but 0.165-3ubuntu1 is to be installed" and "E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.". How to resolve this problem? [14:20] sub526: did you add external ppa's to your system? [14:22] lotus|NUC: I've no idea, how do i check this? [14:23] sub526: can you hastebin the output of: sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade please? [14:24] hey all, i just downloaded ubuntu-18.04.1-desktop.-amd64.iso from the official site. i checked the sha256 hashsum but it didn't match the one here http://releases.ubuntu.com/bionic/SHA256SUMS I tried redownloading this time as a torrent. Although the download was successful, the SHA256 hashsums didn't match again! Can anyone tell me what's happening? Sorry for the noob question. [14:24] !md5 | Kivaan [14:24] Kivaan: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [14:28] i used onlinemd5.com but it doesn't match [14:30] Kivaan: so did you do just that, or _also_ that? You could check your local download using the matching command sha256sum/md5sum command. [14:31] i just did that [14:31] what command? i am on windows right now. [14:31] lotus|NUC: https://pastebin.com/reQPen8k [14:32] Kivaan: if the windows shell doesn't come with a corresponding tool out of the box, then use something like e.g. this: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=11533 [14:33] !sources | sub526 [14:33] sub526: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories. [14:33] sub526: after you fix your sources, its reccomended to update your system to latest [14:35] Kivaan: and you're free to not check for validity too of course, especially if you torrent the file (which runs checksums on the data). [14:35] what do you mean 'runs checksum on the data'? adrian1908 [14:36] Kivaan: torrents are validated for correctness during download, and some clients allow you to manually verify the integrity of the download. Just use the damn ISO and get on with your life. [14:37] hmmm... like your attitude [14:37] lotus|NUC: Thanks [14:37] i am using fdm as my client [14:39] howdy all [14:44] i am off [15:28] Is /etc/netplan supposed to be empty on Ubuntu 18.04? [15:29] Cypher100, if you upgraded from xenial [15:30] So the current install is still using the old method for networking? [15:30] yep [15:30] That makes sense [15:40] ioria: I found the root of the problem, i think [15:41] sayo-, I/O errors ? [15:41] ioria: yup, the computer started behaving weirdly again but this time I got to dmesg before I crashed [15:42] sayo-, and ? [15:42] look at this https://imgur.com/a/zkdylVM (again, sorry I couldn't capture the text but couldn't write to a file or open firefox due to these IO errors) [15:42] seems like the wifi card failed, and then everything just went crazy [15:43] wifi driver failed, and then at some point (not sure why) the partition goes into read only mode [15:43] if that makes sense...... [15:44] sayo-, wifi you say ... [15:45] sayo-, usually a Call TRcae means a seroius (unrecoverable) kernl bug [15:46] *Call Trace [15:47] I thought it'd be a problem with wifi cause the first line is ex_btc8192e2ant_bt_info_notify [15:47] that's realtek [15:47] could that be a problem with the drivers, which come with the kernel? === SimonNL is now known as SimonNL_Afk [15:48] ioria: assuming a driver triggers such a bug, does it explain why the partition switches to read only mode? [15:54] sayo-, not sure , but i don't think so [15:55] this sucks, the ssd is new but how can I complain to the manufacturer if I'm not sure it fails [15:55] random issues are the worst [15:55] sayo-: unless there's any indication that the sotrage i/o issues are related to wireless/bluetooth coexistence issue, i'd expect them not to be, and analyze it seperately, starting with the problem which is reported first during the boot. [15:55] sayo-: you probably have an old bios there, check for a newer one [15:56] tomreyn: actually, my bios is 4.6 (asrock AB350 Pro4), which is quite up to date [15:56] they released a new one last week but it's pretty updated anyway [15:57] dmesg doesn't seem to point me out in any direction though, it's just ERROR ERROR ERROR but I can't see any lead on where to look at next [15:58] sayo-: i'm looking at, is this the wrong board? https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/AB350%20Pro4/#BIOS [15:58] sayo-, in laternative i suggest a mainline kernel [16:00]
