[00:10] eem ok so im trying to log into ubuntu and after putting in my password, it pauses, flashes black screen and is back to login. This is a new installation by the way, and just installed graphics drivers, any ideas? [00:14] also, not sure how its related, but I did also install openssh-server and I'm unable to ssh into it when its at the login screen as well [00:16] there was a suggestion I found to delete the .Xauthority file, however I'm not sure how to get to that since I can't log in [00:21] !nomodeset [00:21] A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen.

[00:59] hi [01:00] i have a hidpi laptop screen and a 1080p external. how can i set two different scaling settings? when trying to lower or increase the scaling of one monitor, it seems to apply it to all of them [01:01] duoi, not, AFAIK [01:08] anyone have experience with @reboot and crontab? @reboot cd $HOME/daemon_dir/src/ ./daemond doesn't work [01:09] duoi: This seems to deal with that: https://askubuntu.com/questions/393400/is-it-possible-to-have-two-different-dpi-configurations-for-two-different-screen [01:09] you all suck [01:09] @reboot exec ./daemond $HOME/daemon_src/src/ [01:10] Meow [01:10] stoner19: I think cron doesn't have the normal environment variables. [01:11] stoner19: Like $HOME. You might also want && between the two commands. [01:11] AH that makes sense [01:12] define a user [01:12] with /home/stone/daemon_dir/src === shoogz- is now known as shoogz [01:16] that did it thank you ChaiTRex [01:17] stoner19: You're welcome. === Ox123 is now known as adad12123 [01:39] anyone know why Thunderbird 60 isn't in the repo's [01:50] hi [01:51] I got a ryzen 5 2400g and I'm using the amdgpu drivers, but when I boot the latest ubuntu 18.04.1 I get very buggy graphics, and I cannot install the latest ubuntu [01:51] I'm booting from a USB stick [01:51] are there any other daily builds or nightly I can use to install? [01:51] with latest kernel,e tc [01:51] etc* [01:51] maybe the issue is fixed [01:55] dviola: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ ? [01:55] dviola: There is the 18.10 daily build: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ . I find it stable and solid on my old AMD system. [01:56] I'll try ubuntu 18.10 first [01:58] dviola: you'd be better off trying newer kernels from mainline than installing an unfinished and unsupported version of ubuntu [01:58] dviola: also, booting the live system from usb is not the best indication of performance and possible issues [01:59] how can I install a newer kernel if I can't even install ubuntu? [01:59] it displays corrupted graphics when booting [02:02] I'll see if I can get to install it [02:02] dviola: CTRL+ALT_F2 [02:02] dviola: CTRL+ALT+F2 [02:02] and then? [02:02] then follow instructions to install a kernel from mainline [02:02] !mainline | dviola [02:02] dviola: 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 [02:03] I can't install a newer kernel on USB [02:03] I dd'ed the iso to USB [02:03] dviola: I meant after installation [02:03] ah ok [02:03] I'll try to install this way then [02:17] i have an hp win10 computer and I am failing to get it to boot off the live usb. (strangely it didnonce and then turned black while I was looking at my flash drives' directories. yes legacy boot and no secure boot. [02:17] with theae settinga does not do it. retried. [02:17] i have read the webpages and followed. [02:18] Avion: if it booted once, then it just means you're not hitting the right keys at the right time to boot to an external device. Gotta research your hardware and how to get it to boot to an external device [02:19] hi currently, i am using mysql 5 version and now i want upgrade mysql version in 8 on ubuntu 18.04. now the problem is how to do that? [02:19] leftyfb: i reset the booy order. i dont know of any "keys to 0ress" to make it boot. [02:20] i checked and bios retained the changed settings [02:20] Rockwood: mysql 8 is not available in ubuntu [02:21] leftyfb, means? [02:21] Rockwood: it means, mysql 8 is not available in ubuntu [02:21] leftyfb: when it booted once and died, then with no setting changes by me it would not boot again with several retries. (i had changed some things as guesses though) so I went back t9 defaults and followed the websitea directions which are what you see in what I wrote. [02:22] Rockwood: is there a particular reason you cannot use mysql 5.x over 8? [02:22] my project requirement [02:23] Rockwood: project? [02:23] actually i am making project in php and mysql [02:23] i need to tak3 it to a cafe to do another windows updatr. i thought I had done them all then another showed up. I really feel hobbled in 10. i can function fine in 7 and 8. [02:24] Avion: try to cool shutdown win10 like shift + shutdown and try to boot usb [02:24] sorry not making just upgrading stuff in project [02:24] leftyfb, project build in new version [02:25] else i have change on big level [02:25] it's not possible [02:25] easiest way is upgrade the mysql version [02:25] Avion: 10? 7 and 8? What are you referring to? [02:26] leftyfb, upgrade is not possible than? [02:26] Rockwood: not unless you build from source. You can read about that on mysql's website. [02:27] okay [02:27] leftyfb, thanks [02:32] Hello all, i need to build a linux server for build purpose , i have some issue with Ubuntu 16 "server" ISO - boot with UEFI on HP DL 360 Gen 10 box with RAID 0 ssd disks- Ubuntu 16 "desktop"cd works well , so does it matter much if i use server or desktop? [02:33] Any suggestion pls [02:34] Its the same repos, but desktop will install a desktop. Why not just use a minimal|netboot [02:37] Thanks i will check on minimal iso [02:37] ansibleesxi666: also, there is no version 16 of ubuntu [02:38] ansibleesxi666: there is 16.04 which is supported till 2021 and 16.10 which ended support last July [02:39] sorry i mean 16.04 only [02:39] ansibleesxi666: also, unless you do not care about the OS or the data, I would not use RAID 0 [02:40] that said anyone had tested boot with UEFI on HP DL 360 Gen 10 box with RAID 0 ? [02:40] the issue i get with Server iso is the disk size shows as 600 GB & when i use desktop it shows correct size of 3 TB [02:40] ansibleesxi666: that's not a support question. If you have issues with it, please detail those here and someone will try to help you with it [02:40] this is raid 0 of 3 ssd disks [02:41] right, and RAID 0 is begging for data loss [02:41] yes we see better perf with RAID 0 so we have decided to use that [02:41] ansibleesxi666: when one of those drives goes bad, you will lose all your data [02:43] our build team wants less time & they do not care of the data on the build box as the actual build goes in central git repo.... these build nodes are purly for compuete ... but starnage issue is why server iso shows disk size as 600 GB & not 3 TB [03:00] how to remove old version of mysql from ubuntu completely? [03:00] i have 18.04 version [03:00] of ubuntu [03:02] is there a version of djbdns available for bionic?

It booted in 18.04 gave prompt for partial upgrade, I did partial upgrade . tried apt autoremove but it says thees nothing to be removed. Now there is insufficient spave in /boot and [04:05] hence not updating the softwares. Can some one help [04:10] NotBobDole, note: I don't know, I would assume the daily image is where they are on 18.04.2 (which will have HWE kernel when released) - so it maybe the 4.18.0-7 kernel that 18.10 currently uses... [04:11] guiverc, I figured it out. [04:11] 18.04 of latest has 4.15.0-34 , I need 4.15.0-33 or higher so I am good! [04:11] :) [04:12] I found it out by doing `grep -R headers ." in the directory that the image was mounted. [04:12] well. imagine using the correct quotations.. but ya know [04:13] i'm not a computer, so didn't notice the mismatched quotes :) [04:13] for note, the old version is -28 or something.

After booting to 18.04, it tries to get to the graphical login, but the monitor cycles infinitely, i.e.: It lights up with the terminal, then turns off, then lights up again and never gets to the login screen. [06:49] I've managed to stop gdm3.service, by using one of the available TTYs, with: sudo systemctl stop gdm3.service [06:49] It stoped cycling [06:49] Then, I've reconfigured: sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm [06:49] then started: sudo systemctl start lightdm.start [06:50] It got to the graphical screen, but the default ubuntu and the wayland ubuntu, after entering the credentials, starts loading, then drops back to the login screen [06:51] The only desktop, that I've managed to log in is OpenBox, which I am sitting @ right now, trying to resolve my problem. [06:52] igoryonya: did you maybe accidentlly run startx as root? [06:52] igoryonya: check perms on ~/.Xauthority [06:52] make sure it's owned by the user, not root [06:53] Does anyone know why I cant install libssl-dev? [06:53] https://www.hastebin.com/diriracapa.sh [06:54] mouses, no, I did try to start the desktop with the "safe" mode, but didn't go to the root shell, just clicked "continue" on service menu. [06:54] Hi, I have a problem system load tap in ksysguard does not show CPU history and network history this problem was not there two weeks ago, I run it by sudo but the problem still there.

[06:56] It's my normal account, which I am sitting with openbox session currently. [06:56] igoryonya: might be worth running startx as the user and pushing the output to a log file [06:56] Can you advise, how to push the output to the log file? [06:56] lotus|NUC, yeah, as far as I know [06:56] startx &> log.txt [06:57] igoryonya: run that, let it run for a min, control C to kill, and then take a look over that log [06:57] might be clues in there [06:57] mouses, thanx, I will try now [06:57] dbugger: hastebin us: sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade please? [06:58] lotus|NUC, https://www.hastebin.com/aqatufasax.cpp [07:01] how does the "recovery mode" boot option make sure everything is mounted readonly? [07:01] dbugger: could be some of your external ppa's scrambling your dependencies [07:02] dbugger: we cant support those here, so we advice to try revert them to vanilla with ppapurge then apt update again, try again your ssl install [07:02] what does "ppapurge" do? [07:02] !ppapurge | dbugger [07:02] dbugger: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [07:03] dbugger: it will remove both your external ppa's + the packages belong to them [07:03] I am trying ti install redhift by "sudo apt-get install redshift redshift-gtk".

[07:12] now it's back to the default ubuntu welcome page, and when i do "service nginx reload" it says it is not loaded when it clearly is because it is serving that default webpage. [07:13] dbugger: make sure the security and updates repos are enabled, then try an 'apt update' before trying the install again [07:13] ducasse, they have been always enabled [07:14] dbugger: that's odd, because you are seeing the wrong version from your repo [07:15] the wrong version of what? [07:15] dbugger: libssl-dev [07:15] dbugger: you see 1.1.0g-2ubuntu4, you should see 1.1.0g-2ubuntu4.1 [07:16] dbugger: (the 'candidate' line in apt policy output) [07:16] you mean on the "policy" part? [07:17] dbugger: yes [07:17] ducasse, maybe I did something wrong with that. I dunno...

[07:19] because i seem to recall I did the second one [07:19] dbugger: yes, same thing [07:19] ah, then it does not matter :( [07:23] and how do I use ppa-purge for repos that are not in launchpad? [07:26] dbugger: i don't think a ppa is your problem in this case, if a package from a ppa was making trouble we would have seen it by now [07:26] dbugger: pass it the url listed on the "apt-cache policy" output [07:26] ducasse, what do you mean?

[07:40] ok i have tried sudo apt- autoremove [07:40] but to no avail [07:40] guiverc_d: 236 MB is probably a file system size on top of a 250 MB partition, so that'd be within this range.

[07:44] df -h is here = >https://dpaste.de/Mmsi [07:48] is there a solution other than resizing ? I have never done resizing is it safe? [07:49] nick1234: everything is safe if you have backups, and you need to have backups. [07:50] ok, what do you recommend to be the ideal size of /boot? [07:50] nick1234: however, resizing this may not be much fun since you seem to have everything but /boot on LVM [07:51] so... [07:51] nick1234: can you explain how you arrived at the conclusion that you are 17.2 MB short for the update? [07:52] update manager gives the message [07:52] nick1234: can you post the full output? [07:52] sure in a minute [07:53] update manager msg : The upgrade needs a total of 158 M free space on disk '/boot'. Please free at least an additional 17.3 M of disk space on '/boot'. You can remove old kernels using 'sudo apt autoremove', and you could also set COMPRESS=xz in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf to reduce the size of your initramfs. [07:55] nick1234: maybe the latter is the way to go then [07:55] compress=xz ?? done that [07:56] nick1234: did you also run "update-initramfs -k all -c" afterwards? [07:56] no i didn't. [07:56] then run this now with sudo, so that the change is actually applied [07:57] ok [07:59] nick1234: and run 'df -h /boot' again afterwards so we'll know whether it made a difference. [07:59] sure [08:00] nick1234: i don't think you need the /boot/extlinux directory and files in it (last modified in 2016). those will be a leftover from when you used syslinux (rather than grub which you seem to be using now) [08:00] yes it made difference = here => http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/HnbFFc3YqN/ [08:01] nick1234: 2 MB missing, but maybe you can already do the update now [08:01] so shall i remove the contents of extlinuix? [08:02] nick1234: if you don't boot using syslinux, removing /boot/extlinux is fine [08:02] i dont know if i use syslinux of not [08:02] *or not [08:02] nick1234: then keep it, it's not much anyways. [08:02] I am able to update alas [08:03] :) thanks guys [08:03] nick1234: you're welcome. i guess you should probably reinstall + repartition sometime, though, since this issue can reoccur. [08:04] thats what i was thinking. I have been on this system since 12.04 [08:04] theres lots of programs and settings etc which i dont want to lose [08:05] i will try to resize the /boot [08:06] nick1234: can you run "find /boot -type f -exec du -h {} \; | sort -h" [08:07] yes here http://termbin.com/88yk [08:07] nick1234: instead of resizing /boot if you not using lvm or something you could just make /boot a part of "/" and call it a day [08:08] i am ok with it but I dont know how? [08:10] nick1234: what's it trying to update now? seems odd there's 135mb but it still needs 17 [08:10] for nick1234, / is on a lv [08:11] new kernel update [08:12] nick1234: oh so the kernel update isnt installed, yet? does it still fail then? i was thinking you were saying it worked now [08:13] yes it is working now and I have already updates. [08:13] yes it is working now and I have already updated. [08:16] nick1234: when you posted http://termbin.com/88yk you did not have the 4.15.0-34 kernel image installed, yet. [08:17] or rather: when you ran the command which created this output [08:22] I'm trying to run OpenVPN on Ubuntu bionic in lxc on Proxmox 5.2. I've worked out the lxc config to allow /dev/net/tun to be created in the guest, but it's not being created automatically. stuff I'm finding online suggests using lxc autodev hook, but this distro uses udev and the /dev in the container root doesn't actually have anything in it. what's the "right" way to get /dev/net/tun created at boot? [08:22] hi guys [08:23] if I create it manually, it works. if I run udevadm trigger, it gets created, but it's not persistent across restarts. I've seen posts suggesting to create it with rc.local, but that does seem rather last century [08:24] when running `add-apt-repository ppa:gns3/ppa` i get "Err:2 http://ppa.launchpad.net/gns3/ppa/ubuntu bionic InRelease 500 Internal Server Error [IP: 91.189.95.83 80]" [08:24] suggestions on what to do about that? [08:24] ne2k: we only support ubuntu here, not proxmox, which comes with its own kernels. [08:24] as i understand it, launchpad doesn't do mirroring [08:24] tomreyn, it's a question about ubuntu in lxc and what the ubuntu way is of getting that device node created [08:25] i'm fine downloading the deb files manually and work with that until this is fixed ... but where should i put the files to have apt pick them up? [08:25] tomreyn, I don't believe the difference of kernel to be relevant [08:27] tboz: does 'curl http://ppa.launchpad.net/gns3/ppa/ubuntu/dists/bionic/InRelease' and 'wget -O /tmp/InRelease http://ppa.launchpad.net/gns3/ppa/ubuntu/dists/bionic/InRelease' work without warnings / errors? [08:28] wget didn't 20 mins ago - gonna check again [08:31] tboz: since 500 is an internal *server* error (so actually on the remote ppa.launchpad.net server), and the ip address your system resolves to is what i see here as well (but the file loads fine for me), i suspect it was reall yjust a temporary server side error, which has since been resolved. [08:35] tomreyn, still doesn't work (tm) [08:35] i'm sitting in germany here [08:35] might a proxy help? [08:43] tboz: hmm, strange, when i'm accessing from germany, too, I can use "add-apt-repository ppa:gns3/ppa" on a bionic (18.04) system just fine. [08:44] i had that problem a couple of weeks ago as well [08:44] might be some weird transparent proxy issue [08:44] sitting in an institute here [08:44] alright, gotta head off. gonna examine that on monday. [08:45] thanks for the help :) [09:01] Hi, I have a dual graphics laptop. My discrete card is on via vgaswitcheroo and is recognized by xrandr --listproviders. However, When I try DRI_PRIME=1 glmark2, it gives me X Error of failed request: Bad Alloc. [09:05] which is the right way to start a service in ubuntu 18.04 ? [09:06] systemctl or service ? [09:08] anyone here using the communitheme snap? my snap of gnome calc isnt themed after a reboot [09:14] Hi, how do I tell someone to stop using windows? [09:14] MicrosoftWindows, urgh [09:17] aLeSD, systemctl start x [09:26] !ot | MicrosoftWindows [09:26] MicrosoftWindows: #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! [09:38] tomreyn, you love that button, don't you [09:38] !ot | ne2k [09:38] ne2k: #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! [09:42] you're like a characiture of yourself [09:48] Has anyone experience with on-prem landscape ? [09:51] ne2k, why ? [09:52] aLeSD, oh, is he a bot?! [09:52] who ? [09:52] tomreyn, [09:52] aLeSD, systemctl start x [09:53] why ? [09:53] aLeSD, why are you quoting back at me an answer to a question you asked half an hour ago? [09:54] because I am curious. Is "service" deprecated ? [09:55] aLeSD, ubuntu is a mess [09:55] utter hodgepodge of sysv init, upstart and systemd [09:56] well, it's not, it's systemd, it's just got legacy handlers for people used to the sysv init or upstart way of doing things. [09:56] aLeSD: "service" is used for upstart, "systemctl" is used for systemd [09:56] I /believe/ (and I may be wrong here) that, starting with 16.04, ubuntu /actually/ uses systemd, and the other stuff is just wrappers for backwards compatibility. what Cheez said [09:57] 14.04 uses upstart, afaik. and to make matters worse, seemingly actually has systemd installed, but doesn't use it [09:57] muhaha: try #ubuntu-server [09:58]
