[00:02] gbellinoz: i don't see any, but you'll have to /want to reinstall to do FDE. [00:02] gbellinoz your biggest hiccups w/ FDE is going to boil down to your Proprietary KMS Graphics modules and whether they break. Personally outside of that I've seen little issue. Curious for nosferatuman 's opinion [00:03] katamo: That's interesting... so the modules which want to load immediately, before the OS has a chance to ask for the decrypt password? [00:03] thats exactly it [00:03] gbellinoz it *shouldnt* be an issue and usually isnt, but as professional support thats where I see the issues arise *if* they do [00:04] its always been correctable IMO but patience is not always readily available when issues come up [00:04] you can buy intel or amd gpu's if you want things to work out of the box [00:05] * katamo personally uses dmcrypt due to default ubuntu installer support [00:05] tomreyn +1 [00:05] I guess my intent is to simplify my setup. Using encfs results in dirs that shouldn't be backed up, etc. [00:07] it is more simple [00:09] here's a way to shoot yourself in the foot in case you don't want to reinstall: https://github.com/johndoe31415/luksipc [00:13] tomreyn or https://gitlab.com/cryptsetup/cryptsetup/blob/master/man/cryptsetup-reencrypt.8 ??? [00:13] actually cryptsetup-reencrypt is the better option now, [00:13] right [00:13] i only learnt about it now ;) [00:14] yep yep [00:14] texla: i'm sorry, i don't follow that last comment [00:15] i’ve got python troubles — is there a way to re-install python to the original image? [00:16] bonhoeffer: welcome back; you don't need python, you need python3.6, afaict? What did you to your system to get into that state? [00:16] bonhoeffer, like reinstall [00:16] bonhoeffer: what version of ubuntu, etc. as well [00:17] nacc: i’ll take any python — 18.04 — i had three pythons installed so i tried to remove all of them to include deleting their directories [00:17] bonhoeffer: ... what? you should python and python3 [00:17] bonhoeffer: did you install some other python from source? [00:17] i still havce /usr/bin/python [00:17] I don’t remember — this was a shared server [00:17] bonhoeffer: ok, so let's be specific. python is both a language and specific interpreter (for python2) [00:17] bonhoeffer: so you had 3 python2 interpreters? [00:18] sorry — I had python3.5 python 3.6 and python3.7 [00:18] bonhoeffer: on 18.04? [00:18] bonhoeffer: neither 3.5 nor 3.7 are official [00:18] 18.04.1 [00:19] bonhoeffer: where did you get those versions from? [00:19] at the risk of being banned forever — https://gist.github.com/tbbooher/95d9ff23ce1fa771b4584198cbb2a87a [00:19] at the bottom shows what i did [00:19] <— yes, terrible [00:19] i should know better [00:20] bonhoeffer: you are probably going to need to reinstall your system at some point [00:20] you force removed basically random system paths [00:20] i was going to remove all that i did before and try to set up python fresh [00:20] yeah [00:21] since I know what i removed, I could re-install from another image enough to get apt working again [00:21] bonhoeffer: also, your last comment has not output [00:21] why isn't resintalling a good option? [00:21] bonhoeffer: so it's basically not helpful to anyone trying to help [00:21] bonhoeffer: and yes, i'd recommend reinstalling [00:21] tomreyn: katamo good tips, thanks. Off to go do some reading. [00:22] nacc, After install Ubuntu 18.04 I went to Ubuntu ask and got info on how to activate numlockx at login..It is accept numbers from the numlock pad to login but after that I have to use numbers from the top of the keyboard as the numlock pad is dead If I just enter xev and press a nuumber from the numlock pad it only spaces the number [00:22] ^ katamo : [00:22] ^ katamo: dammit [00:23] gbellinoz on the numlock issue, what model device are you working on? (sry if i missed that detail) [00:23] katamo: wasn't me [00:24] * katamo facepalm [00:24] katamo, Ubuntu 18.04 [00:24] nacc: ok [00:24] what kind of keyboard [00:24] texla: if you remove numlockx, does it work again [00:24] texla device type/make/model? [00:25] Wow cryptsetup-reencrypt man page scares me with its bizarre example: https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/nSbVkTol/ [00:25] texla: are you by any chance changing keyboard layouts? [00:25] katamo, system kudo pro laptop [00:26] probably a pci device? [00:27] nacc, The only layout I have found are in my Kubuntu install [00:27] texla: that's not exactly what i'm asked. Have you changed the keyboard layout at all? [00:28] texla: read comment 19 at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1247668 [00:28] Launchpad bug 1247668 in xorg-server (Ubuntu) "NumLock turned off on layout switch" [High,Confirmed] [00:29] anyone here use gnome jessie but my screen (after reboot) has suddenly become fuzzy. anyone know why? how to fix? [00:29] nacc, The only set I have found is listed as unchanged I left that way [00:29] spooky: what's "gnome jessie"? [00:30] maybe debian jessie? [00:30] with gnome? [00:30] texla: i see [00:30] yes i think so. i thought it was part of ubuntu (sorry) [00:30] anyone screen is fuzzy always and reboot only makes it worse. checked all wires and nothing is lose [00:30] any ideas? [00:31] spooky: you are using debian [00:31] !debian | spooky [00:31] spooky: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See https://www.ubuntu.com/about/about-ubuntu/ubuntu-and-debian - !Repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! [00:31] spooky: please ask debian support [00:31] okay will do [00:31] texla: specifically in that, it should help indicate if you are using xev correctly, etc. [00:32] texla: what did you mean before about 'spaces the number'? [00:40] nacc, When a number is hit it move just as if you hit the space bar [00:43] is there a way to see when i typed a commmand in history [00:45] bonhoeffer: i'll answer this once you answered my earlier question: why isn't reinstalling a good option? [00:45] it is [00:46] i’m working that [00:46] your answer is: not by default, no. [00:46] ok [00:47] if you're wondering abotu when you installed or removed which packages, though, there are timestamped logs for this at /var/log/apt [00:47] Is there a way I can find out the compilation options used for a given Ubuntu package/library? Specifically I'd like to know the ./configure options used to build ncurses (package ncurses-bin) [00:50] does packages.ubuntu.com include that info? I dont know [00:50] I can't see it [00:51] TheBloke: we advice to use the packages of the official ubuntu repos, instead of compiling [00:51] TheBloke, I don't actually know, but the first thing I would do is get the source package and look in the debian/rules build script... [00:53] rfm: thanks I'm trying that now. I thought it might all be in a source code repository or something. I'll check the source package [00:53] lotuspsychje: yeah this isn't for overwriting packages on Ubuntu itself [00:55] TheBloke: whats your real endgoal exactly? [00:56] Fixing an ncurses terminal display problem on Solaris :) On a program that works fine on Linux, compiles fine on Solaris, but the terminal display is messed up when displaying UTF-8 widechars. Both with the provided NCurses 6.0 in Solaris, and my own compiled NCurses 6.1. It's a long shot, but I'm checking how ncurses is compiled on Ubuntu (where I know the given programme works), just to see if it needs some special ./configure option. [00:57] TheBloke: this is ubuntu support here mate [00:57] And I asked an Ubuntu-related question, surely? [00:57] it's maybe more suitable in #ubuntu-devel [00:57] have a look at https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ncurses/tree/?h=applied/ubuntu/bionic-updates [00:58] build log is at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ncurses/6.1-1ubuntu1.18.04/+build/14932384/+files/buildlog_ubuntu-bionic-amd64.ncurses_6.1-1ubuntu1.18.04_BUILDING.txt.gz [00:58] Launchpad bug 6 in Launchpad itself ""next 10 entries" at bottom of page" [Medium,Invalid] [00:59] awesome tomreyn, thanks. That's exactly what I was hoping for. [00:59] welcome [01:01] tomreyn: thanks for the logging info [01:08] hi, is there a PPA for kernel 4.18 for 18.04? [01:08] (or higher) [01:08] kaddi no, it has to be installed manually. otherwise the latest kernel you can get is from the hwe-edge package [01:09] * katamo hasnt considered 3rd party for safety reasons [01:10] !mainline | kaddi [01:10] kaddi: The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds [01:12] there is no HWE stack for 18.04, yet, so it'll be either mainline or some ppa [01:13] how buggy is the mainline going to be? I'm not looking to fix one issue by creating 5 new ones ;) [01:13] not buggier than a random ppa [01:13] usually they work fine [01:14] ok, that's good to know. :) [01:14] kaddi: is there a reason specific you are going to install a higher kernel? [01:14] tomreyn good point, i didnt look close enough at the question :/ and ditto. What is use case kaddi ? [01:14] yeah, I have a X1 and sleep doesn't work. Apparently it's only supported with 4.18rc2 or newer [01:15] lenovo x1 that is [01:15] kaddi: can you define 'doesnt work' please [01:16] it just doesn't go to sleep at all. This (according to my google research) is due to the fact that lenovo switched from supplying the option to do s3 sleep to the new 'active sleep' (for windows) s0i3 [01:16] that sleep mode is not recognized correctly in current kernels [01:16] kaddi: have you tried acpi options? [01:16] unfortunately also those sleep mode are apparently exclusive so that lenovo can't (or won't) supply a bios that offers both [01:17] lotuspsychje: I had a look at some of the solutions offered online, but mostly the solutions offered seemed to be for arch and they don't compile/work on my install [01:17] If you have instructions for ubuntu, I'd be happy to try them [01:17] I'm really just trying to get sleep to work [01:18] kaddi: here the basic bootoptions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [01:19] kaddi: also interesting for us to debug, is your syslog output at the time of your hibernate [01:19] I'm having a problem with ubuntu-bug where Launchpad fails with "something went wrong" right after saysing it's going to log me in. Am I the only one? [01:20] ForDummies: do you have a launchpad account? [01:21] lc [01:21] I think so. I've looked at bugs many times. [01:21] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1756105 [01:21] Launchpad bug 1756105 in linux (Ubuntu) "X1 Carbon 6th gen S0i3 sleep broken" [Medium,Confirmed] [01:21] kaddi: ^ [01:21] ForDummies: wich package did you bug to? [01:22] just for testing (because I'm on a different machine) I named vim-gnome [01:22] tomreyn: just to make sure I understand: I run the command now and then go to sleep? Or put it to sleep, wake it and then run the comand? [01:23] lotuspsychje originally it was vim-nox. [01:23] ForDummies: ubuntu-bug vim-gnome should work allright yeah [01:23] kaddi: which command do you mean? the apport-collect one? this is just for the person who opened the bug report. you are welcome to put it to sleep, wake it up and then run: ubuntu-bug linux [01:23] Ilotuspsychje I've actually tracked down the actual problem (it was my aliases), but now I'm wondering what's up with ubuntu-bug [01:23] ForDummies: so its launchpad giving you that error after bug trying to report? [01:24] kaddi: the reason i pointed you to this bug report is that the firth comment disucsses a partial workaround. [01:24] lotuspsychje yes, "Sorry, something went wrong in Launchpad." [01:24] tomreyn: I'll try that now :) Thanks. [01:25] Could you tell me how to do this: "please pass `acpi.ec_no_wakeup=1` on the Linux command line to reduce the power consumption." Do I need to launch grub recovery for that? [01:25] lotuspsychje it hasn't even gotten to asking what went wrong, or collected data on the system. [01:25] and then type it in manually? [01:25] ForDummies: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/1724316 [01:25] Launchpad bug 1724316 in gnome-software (Ubuntu) ""Sorry, something went wrong cannot authenticate to snap store ..." without any way to fix" [High,In progress] [01:25] kaddi: read that bootoptions url, it describes howto [01:26] lotuspsychje: I read it, I run kubuntu so I don't have boot repair.. andthe manual config links to grub2 tutorial which then makes no reference of boot options [01:27] lotuspsychje I just logged into Launchpad, and got past the spot where ubuntu bug reported the problem. [01:28] Lotuspsychje what do I do with this. I'm pretty sure ubuntu-bug ubuntu-bug is going to have the same problem. [01:29] ForDummies: yes, login to launchpad first, then ubuntu-bug after is a nice procedure [01:29] lotuspsychje: I'll try it. [01:29] kaddi: this is the right how-to for temporarily booting with different / additional linux options https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Troubleshooting#Editing_the_GRUB_2_Menu_During_Boot [01:29] ForDummies: i suspect this has nothing to do with ubuntu-bug, but launchpad login problem [01:30] thanks @tomreyn :) [01:31] hey — nacc — i restored to a day ago — how do i responsibly remove my python 3.7 [01:31] kaddi: what you'd need to do is to add the option you quoted to the 'linux' line, after "quiet" and "splash" [01:32] lotuspsychje I logged in on Chrome (where Launchpad was trying to log in), and tried "ubuntu-bug apport" but got exactly the same problem. [01:33] ForDummies: is apport the package you are trying to bug? [01:33] ForDummies: try to change your default browser to firefox, and try there as a test? [01:34] thanks @tomreyn @lotuspsychje I'll put the laptop to 'sleep' and 'wake' it. Then I'll run ubuntu-bug linux. Then I'll reboot and try to modify the kernel options.. then I'll be back.. Could take a while ;) [01:34] kaddi: perhaps use the same bug, tomreyn has found for you? [01:34] kaddi: this avoids double bugs [01:34] lotuspsychje Oops. I have too many windows up. Launchpad was using chrome, and when I tried to log in there, it did not work. It's starting to look like a launchpad/chrome problem. [01:35] lotuspsychje, no the error message is different [01:36] lotuspsychje I may be able to work around this by changing my default browser to firefox, then maybe launchpad will let me report a bug. [01:36] ForDummies: yes try a different browser, but i suspect its your launchpad account going faulty [01:37] kaddi: if you instead (or additionally) want to try a mainline kernel, you can download, make executable and run this script: wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tomreyn/scripts/master/wget_kernel_mainline.sh; chmod +x wget_kernel_mainline.sh; ./wget_kernel_mainline.sh v4.18.5 [01:37] lotuspsychje: it'd clutter log files, a duplicate is actually better there IMO [01:38] we can always link duplicate bug reports to one another [01:38] lotuspsychje I can log into Launchpad on Firefox but on on Chrome. I'll try to get that reported . Thanks for getting me to look at this a bit more carefully. Now I have action I can take..... later tonight problably. Thanks. [01:41] tomreyn: allrighty [01:56] is there a chance I could get my nick myrti back? I was careless and let it expire a year ago. Someone called myrtti registered it, but he's never actually used it [01:56] he hasn't been online in a while either [01:57] and sorry [01:57] that's the completley wrong channel [01:57] XD [01:59] what I meant ot say is: I've added the command to grub, but I'm not sure how to tell if it worked?

[02:06] 304 340 384 [02:06] i used to have a newer driver than 340, but updating to 384 broke something. i was hoping to go back 1 version, not all way back to 340 [02:07] eddievonscraper: wich graphics card chipset do you have?

Not sure what nvidia is doing now-a-days. do ' apt list nvidia-375 ' . then see: apt list nvidia-driver-390 . 18.04 nvidia driver loads a ton more packages now also .

[04:50] guiverc_d: i believe you can boot into 'recovery' mode and then exit it from it to resume booting. [04:50] guiverc_d: that's what i'd guess quiltbitch meant. [04:51] thanks nacc, I don't use recovery mode very often thankfully :) [04:51] guiverc_d: yep :) [04:51] quiltbitch: can you define 'crash'? [04:51] quiltbitch: as in, what exactly happens [04:52] nacc, when ubuntu boots up has these dots [04:52] well they freeze [04:53] and never continue [04:53] sometimes the screen never turns on either during boot up [04:53] this is usually after I shut down during the first failed boot up [04:53] quiltbitch: someone earlier maybe suggested booting without quiet and splash, so you get as much output as possible? [04:53] quiltbitch: i think that was for you, at least, did you try something like that? [04:54] no, I have to modify grub? [04:55] yeah, from the menu, hit 'e' on the entry, and remove the 'quiet' and 'splash' bits on the linux line [04:55] quiltbitch: i need to step away, sorry; hopefully someone else can help [04:55] thanks! [04:56] I'd also suggest trying ' nomodeset ' on that line on a try to see if you get a gui.. but first I'd do as nacc was suggesting, remove 'quiet splash' (quiet hides messages, splash shows the graphic instead of messages - you have a problem so you want to see the messages - why you remove them) hit to have it boot. change affects that boot only [04:57] fyi: first I'd try without adding the nomodeset (to get clues on what is the problem, you'd be expecting it to stop as before, but you'll see the last thing that worked, and maybe the thing it was trying to do where it gets stuck.. [05:02] removed from GRUB the quiet and splash and now the screen remains black [05:03] help? [05:04] quiltbitch, what ubuntu are you using? [05:04] 18.04 [05:05] is it a clean install? or did you do something (add/change things) to cause this quiltbitch ? [05:06] clean install [05:06] laptop g5 5587 [05:06] quiltbitch, when you temove quiet and splash add 'nomodeset' like guiverc_d suggest [05:06] I didn't add anything [05:06] I just removed them [05:07] g5 cpu? or is that part of the mode... I'd also try the ' nomodeset ' (with quiet & splash removed as well) next .. - I didn't expect 'black' only.. [05:07] i5 [05:07] s/mode/model/ [05:08] guiverc_d are the two spaces after ro important? [05:09] it says can't find command esetparams with nomodset [05:09] quiltbitch, one space or many is okay, i use extra spaces just to stress a space.. [05:11] nvm I hit e one too many times. Now I tried to boot up again with nomodeset and again black screen [05:11] nvm it booted up, after flashing the screen with the command line [05:21] quiltbitch, you have video module (driver) issues i'm betting, `sudo lshw -C video` will list hardware (video class) where you could look online for help with your hardware, or ask here (I'm ill-equipped to help sorry with video), but if pastebin your hardware (results for prior command) I can do a search for you... the `nomodeset` is a temporary 'fix' & not ideal.. === wowaname is now known as opal [06:08] I want to upload music from my Ubuntu desktop to my iPhone, so I can play it using Apple's native song player. How would I go about doing that? [06:09] Goop, as far as i know, you need to use apple's cloud services for that.. [06:18] !iphone | Goop [06:18] Goop: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [06:18] no idea how up to date that is, I have no apple devices [06:20] Goop: clementine has also nice support for sync to apple devices [06:54] /win 1 [06:54] oops === silent_freak is now known as v01d4lph4 [07:23] i have a weird situation happening where an application is reporting that it can't find ANDROID_HOME [07:23] even though it is set [07:24] $ echo $ANDROID_HOME [07:24] /home/user/Android/Sdk [07:24] Android Studio project detected [07:24] (node:2407) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: CordovaError: Failed to find 'ANDROID_HOME' environment variable. Try setting it manually. [07:24] Failed to find 'android' command in your 'PATH'. Try update your 'PATH' to include path to valid SDK directory. [07:26] i have this line at the end of my .bashrc file [07:26] export ANDROID_HOME="/home/user/Android/Sdk" [07:26] do i need to set ANDROID_HOME in /etc/environment as well? [07:27] why is the app failing to detect the environment variable? [07:35] how and where I can ask if I want an official package in ubuntu bionic repo to be updated to the latest version? [07:36] !sru | nakulcg [07:36] nakulcg: Stable Release Update information is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates [07:37] nakulcg: there needs to be good reasons for this to happen, though [07:38] Chrome seems to be starting on boot/login automatically and it always crashes when doing so. Where can I disable Chrome from automatically starting on boot/login? [07:38] Thanks, I would like the jetty9 package on Ubuntu bionic to be updated, since it is on 9.2 (which was on an older java version) and that is a very old version, and 9.4.x are the latest which run on latest Java [07:40] then update it nakulcg [07:40] and send it to the maintainer [07:41] Thanks AAron [08:10] someone please help [08:10] do applications use different set of environment variables compared to what you get when you do echo $ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE in the terminal? [08:11] because i can do echo $ANDROID_HOME and it is displayed [08:11] but an app is not able to find it [08:12] CoolerZ: yes, env-vars are per-shell. If that is set in the .bashrc and you've logged in since adding it, all shells/applications launched in the current session should see it [08:13] TJ-, right [08:14] but for some reason its not doing that [08:17] TJ-, apparently it works after adding ANDROID_HOME to /etc/environment === scroll_ is now known as __4matter === Richard is now known as Guest1015 [08:39] ubuntu 18.04 ubuntu de during boot the numlock light and pad is active and the login screen works..then the numlock light blinks off and back on but the pad buttons are dead..Switch to cinnamon de and all button and lights work as expected [08:51] texla: that's probably something you can set in gnome somewhere [08:52] in kde plasma you can specify if to turn on/off/untouched, I assume gnome has something similar in their keyboard settings === semeion is now known as mnemonic [09:56] is it possible to move the cursor if my laptop's touchpad is broken without adding extra peripheral? [09:56] fishcooker: xdotool [09:57] fishcooker: look into the accessibility options, there might be a keyboard based cursor movement [09:57] fishcooker: https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/mouse-mousekeys.html.en [10:18] digging xdotool, thanks [10:27] fishcooker: I made a script that adds a virtual mouse via uinput - http://github.com/triffid/automash - if you want another route [10:28] basically it turns buttonhold on spare buttons on my mouse into something like 2000 clicks per second [10:33] nice pointer Eric xdotool works ... Triffid_Hunter: noted, just wonder if i can do fake movement using translation using vi style button movement [10:34] mouseless mode ON [10:34] on gui session [10:41] Triffid_Hunter: http://github.com/triffid/automash cool [11:10] Hello channel [11:10] I found this https://github.com/cspeterson/dotfiles/blob/master/.bin/instagif --- how shouldş I execute this? [11:10] After putting this into a file (instagif) I've chmod +x 'd the file [11:11] but when I run this IO get ": No such file or directory" [11:11] Am I missing an important point [11:12] Mia: you'd need to ask the maintainer of that script [11:12] auronandace, I feel like I'm making a mistake at the base level [11:13] I was googling "how to make a file executable" a few minutes ago [11:14] Mia: assuming you are in the same directory as the file you want to execute you just run it: ./nameofscript [11:15] that's what I do auronandace [11:15] do I have to install anything before this? like, I've tried to modify the "bash" part of the file (the beginning) [11:15] Mia: did you install the prerequisites listed in the script? namely bc, ffmpeg and wget? [11:15] I get similar errors so maybe there's someting wrong with my bash thing [11:16] Yes they're installed BlackDex [11:16] blackflow, (sorry BlackDex ) [11:17] Mia: run with -x (or add set -x below set -e in the script) and look where exactly during the execution it throws the error [11:17] okay, doing it now [11:18] same error, nothing changes blackflow [11:19] Mia: then run it from bash directly `bash instagif` while being in the same directory with it [11:19] when I echo "step one" before both (-e and -x) I still get the same error, nothing is echoed [11:20] okay [11:20] and that's weird, that env invocation of bash should work [11:20] when I run it with bash, it works noıw [11:20] *now [11:20] So what's the problem here, I can ofc. execute with this bash but, why isn't it working [11:21] Mia: sounds like there's no bash in your env. which ubuntu is this? [11:21] 14.04 [11:21] or /usr/bin/env is not there [11:21] run that from teh command line /usr/bin/env bash do you get a new prompt, no error? exit should exit it back to where you were [11:21] Chrome seems to be starting on boot/login automatically and it always crashes when doing so. Where can I disable Chrome from automatically starting on boot/login? [11:23] zetheroo, Depending on your version... In the Dash search, type startup, click on the 'Startup Applications' and uncheck Chrome, if it's present [11:23] when I do /usr/bin/env bash nothing happens [11:23] no errors, just waits for half second, thne everything's the same [11:23] Mia: yeah it started a new shell. if you now type exit, you'll get the prompt, nothing else, which is actually BACK one level up. [11:24] Mia: ps auxf should show you the tree of shells that occur [11:24] or in other words, when you type `bash` you get to a new prompt which is actually a shell spawned from your previous shell, it's just not immediately visible. same thing happens with that env [11:25] ah okay [11:25] so it works? I mean, env should be there in this case, right ? [11:25] then why isn't the #!/usr/bin/env bash working [11:26] Is there an up-to-date guide for Ubuntu's version of tmux? [11:27] at this point I have no idea. sounds weird that it works from command line but not when exec'd. unless something is seriously messed up with kernel's detection of shebangs. [11:27] Mia: ^^^ [11:27] :/ [11:27] okay, thanks [11:28] I'm not root, does this matter blackflow [11:28] Come on guys, I've asked in 3 support channels now, and nobody knows the answer? [11:28] nope. but thinking about it now, it's possible there's a difference in PATH between login and noninteractive shell [11:29] Mia: ^^^ [11:29] I don2t even know what a noninteractive shell is [11:29] Mia: in other words, difference in PATH set by .bashrc and .profile [11:30] np Mia ;) [11:30] Mia: when you login, .profile is exec'd which in turn should source .bashrc . and starting subshells sources only .bashrc as they're not login shells. [11:30] Ah okay [11:31] so I'll start this as root and try [11:31]
