| moredrowsy | hey, can someone please tell me how to reset the network when I've got a bridge set up? | 00:10 |
|---|---|---|
| moredrowsy | sometimes when i boot up linux on an external hd with various computers, the internet won't connect 50% of the time. it has the circular arrow at gnome. | 00:10 |
| moredrowsy | i tried doing this command "/etc/init.d/network-manager restart" but no luck. only a full restart works 50% of the time. | 00:11 |
| moredrowsy | here's a pastebin of my network interfaces: https://pastebin.com/8ckuqKjk | 00:13 |
| [n0mad] | moredrowsy: this page seems to give a plethora of ways to restart the network https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-restart-network-on-ubuntu-18-04-bionic-beaver-linux | 00:13 |
| FortKnight | moredrowsy: you insist on keeping that "bridge"? | 00:14 |
| moredrowsy | i need to use it for the kvm | 00:14 |
| moredrowsy | well, let's disregard the kvm at the moment, how would you suggest to fix it? | 00:15 |
| moredrowsy | [n0mad], i tried all those. unforunately, it didn't work. | 00:16 |
| FortKnight | moredrowsy: it's working right now though correct? | 00:17 |
| moredrowsy | yes, sometimes it would work and sometimes it won't | 00:18 |
| moredrowsy | and when it won't work, i tried all those nework restarts and etc and it's still dead until restart and then i just pray it'll work the next startup | 00:18 |
| FortKnight | moredrowsy: have you looked at the logs when the symptom occurs??...intermittent issue..so the logs at present aren't going to reveal much | 00:18 |
| moredrowsy | hmm, which log should i look at next time when it happens? | 00:19 |
| FortKnight | moredrowsy: the system log or syslog or journalctl | 00:20 |
| moredrowsy | ok, i'll look at those next time it doesn't work. thanks for the help! | 00:20 |
| ryuo | moredrowsy: shouldn't you be using systemctl? Ubuntu has pretty much moved away from init and upstart. | 00:22 |
| moredrowsy | yes, i tried that too, unfortunately. =/ | 00:26 |
| ryuo | moredrowsy: what version of ubuntu? | 00:33 |
| moredrowsy | 18.04 | 00:33 |
| ryuo | moredrowsy: ah... you've got issues then... i can see why a bridge would give you issues. they're normally setup on a single device... portable installs will have varying network devices. | 00:33 |
| moredrowsy | to be more precise, the problem happens A LOT more often at school's computer than at my home. Only happened twice at home but at school, it like a flip of the coin | 00:33 |
| foureight84 | @nacc that's the problem since the software updater didn't give me any errors | 00:33 |
| ryuo | i'm not sure how you should handle that honestly. I normally configure for specific devices. | 00:33 |
| ryuo | but why do you need a bridge? | 00:33 |
| ryuo | Oh. KVM. | 00:33 |
| moredrowsy | @ryuo, i need it for kvm to run windows 10 | 00:33 |
| foureight84 | i didn't even know there are broken packages | 00:33 |
| foureight84 | i didn't reboot for the sake of rebooting. "i rebooted" was turning off the computer before going to bed and on a cold boot i saw the issue | 00:33 |
| ryuo | moredrowsy: all i can suggest is try setting them up with virtual interfaces and use NAT or something to put them on the regular network. | 00:33 |
| moredrowsy | @ryuo, do you know if getting rid of the bridge still have fileshare functionality? | 00:33 |
| ryuo | if they don't need to act as servers, that may be enough. | 00:33 |
| ryuo | moredrowsy: with what? just the host? | 00:33 |
| roguegeek | Hello. Is there a way to enable natural scrolling on 16.04? | 00:33 |
| moredrowsy | yes, just the host. the onlyreason i need bridge is to get on win 10 to download project files but if i can file share then i dont need the net on kvm | 00:33 |
| ryuo | moredrowsy: well, if you can setup an NAT bridge for your VMs... that could be a viable workaround. | 00:33 |
| ryuo | It would only have direct network access to the host. | 00:33 |
| ryuo | moredrowsy: then network connectivity for the VMs will be more dynamic, not dependent on the underlying networking hardware variants. | 00:33 |
| moredrowsy | ok, ill read up on how to set up a ANT bridge. thanks for the idea. | 00:33 |
| moredrowsy | NAT* | 00:33 |
| ryuo | moredrowsy: it's basically a bridge that has an IP for the host and each container adds their own virtual interface to it. | 00:33 |
| ryuo | all network access outside is through iptables NAT. | 00:33 |
| ryuo | the host will act as a router of sorts for them. | 00:33 |
| ryuo | moredrowsy: this is very common with systemd containers or LXD. | 00:33 |
| moredrowsy | ok, i'm confused but ill research it. thanks | 00:33 |
| ryuo | moredrowsy: not really that bad if you understand switches and routers. | 00:34 |
| ryuo | this doesn't use advanced features like VLAN. | 00:34 |
| ryuo | if you've ever configured a gateway router for your home, it's not much different. | 00:35 |
| moredrowsy | i haven't touched any router except what the router automatically does it me but i think i understand the underlying concept that you explained. | 00:36 |
| starfyter | Darn. Missed a good question. :( | 00:36 |
| moredrowsy | brb. i'm going to rid of all the bridge stuff and try your suggestion. | 00:38 |
| moredrowsy | ryuo, NAT works. thanks! | 00:57 |

| FortKnight | a system administrator | 02:06 |
| kk4ewt | appa groups make it easier | 02:07 |
| appa | they would but users are identified by UID on the NFS server and they vary from machine to machine | 02:08 |
| appa | lol I suppose I should mention it's a home network and I'm dealing with family members | 02:08 |

| appa | I was looking into LDAP, but I'm missing something in the setup, it never seems to work. I'm comfy in linux but not sys admin | 02:10 |
| appa | the uid might be a good temporary fix, just assign each kid a uid on their system | 02:11 |

| NewToLubuntu | can't get out of that windows habit of wanting to just close the pidgin buddy list and keep only the room open, wish I could launch it by default with the X scrolled offscreen to right so it's unclickable, did that now to prevent it | 02:59 |
| NewToLubuntu | upon automated startup I've been stalled on a black screen that doesn't reach login, I seem to get through when I select the Advanced option, choose Recovery Mode, and then "resume boot" without actually using any of the recovery options | 03:00 |
| NewToLubuntu | I'm wondering if I could figure out why that happens though and solve it so I can simply start it up and not need to do that | 03:00 |
| NewToLubuntu | or else, at least have it default to Recovery Mode every time I start the computer so that I can run that process | 03:00 |
| NewToLubuntu | and strangely, the Advanced options now give me 4 options instead of the usual 2, the normal and advanced for 2 versions, 4.15.0-34 and 4.15-029. I chose the 1st, not sure the why 2nd shows up if there was an update | 03:01 |
| NewToLubuntu | if it's not opssible to close the Pidgin buddy list I'm hoping to split it into a separate bar on the bottom so I can single click to return to this room | 03:04 |

| Voziv | Hello. Is there a way to point a domain name (for example voziv.test) to be resolved by a specific IP? On my macbook I'm able to set a file under /etc/resolver/squadley.test and specify the nameserver to contact. | 04:45 |
| Voziv | My main goal is to be able to redirect *.voziv.test and similar domains to query dnsmasq which is running in a docker container on my machine (dinghy-http-proxy to be exact) | 04:46 |
| Voziv | I'm running 18.04 and as far as I can tell there's no /etc/resolver like on mac | 04:47 |
| Goop | Voziv, so the question is do you want this domain to public point to an IP address? | 04:52 |
| Voziv | Goop: No, just on my machine. I'd just like my machine to use a specific nameserver when it queries voziv.test | 04:53 |
| Goop | Oh okay, you have a local copy of DNS records. | 04:54 |
| Voziv | yeah. dnsmasq is running in a docker container, which is exposed on port 19322 | 04:54 |

| Triffid_Hunter | NewToLubuntu: mouse keys perhaps.. turns your numpad into a crude mouse input | 05:06 |

| NewToLubuntu | I just xkilled my OS bottom menu... does anyone know how to bring it back | 05:31 |

| ledeni | Kingsy: can you check pavucontrol -- configuration -- profile | 09:02 |
| Kingsy | ledeni: what am I looking for? it just shows the itnerface on "output devices" HDMI / Displayport is selected. and is the only device in the list | 09:03 |
| ledeni | Kingsy: check configuration profile options | 09:05 |
| Kingsy | ledeni: sorry I don't see a whole lot here. Under "configuration" there is "built in Audio" with again various HDMI options and also "Analogue Stereo Input" | 09:07 |
| ledeni | Kingsy: just try build in Audio | 09:07 |
| Kingsy | ledeni: yes but the dropdown options (profile) for built in audio are HDMI only. | 09:08 |

| Kremator | guys, as 16.04 canonical has swapped completelly upstart for systemd right? | 10:45 |
| FortKnight | 16.x is using systemd yes | 10:45 |
| Something1 | I thought in 16.04 there were some upstart hooks still | 10:46 |
| FortKnight | 16.x is systemd. | 10:47 |
| Kremator | Something1, FortKnight, well it appears, i was just watching everything running on my system | 10:49 |
| Kremator | and still got 2 "upstart" processes | 10:49 |
| Something1 | Yeah that´s what I mean! I don´t know what it´s used for but I thought it was still in small places there | 10:50 |
| Kremator | although i think it is only the subdirectory, but whoever its calling must be systemd (but what i know, im just guessing) | 10:50 |
| Something1 | https://askubuntu.com/questions/867843/sysv-upstart-and-systemd-init-script-coexistence found this | 10:51 |
| FortKnight | there's a #ubuntu-dev or #ubuntu-developer channel if you want to chat with devs about how/why ubuntu is the way it is | 10:51 |
| lotus|NUC | FortKnight: best not forward users over there without a specific reason | 10:52 |
| Kremator | FortKnight, dont worry, my knowledge doesn go that deep and also i guess the hybridation comes as the pay for the transicion | 10:53 |
| Kremator | you know, they cant jsut trow years of code already made to work with upstart just because lol new init system | 10:53 |
| lotus|NUC | Kremator: you dont need to use systemd if you dont like, there's 12.04 ESM too and 14.04 ESM soon | 10:54 |
| Kremator | ESM? | 10:54 |
| lotus|NUC | !esm | Kremator | 10:54 |
| ubottu | Kremator: Canonical offers paid extended security support for 12.04 through the Ubuntu Advantage program. For more information, see https://ubuntu.com/esm . ESM is not an Ubuntu community offering; please direct questions about it to Canonical directly. | 10:54 |
| FortKnight | lotus|NUC: i'm sure mods can "police" themselves and the rooms they mod | 10:54 |
| FortKnight | lotus|NUC: that's kinda what they do | 10:55 |
| lotus|NUC | FortKnight: im just saying, dont disturb devs when there's no actual need to | 10:55 |
| Kremator | lotus|NUC, lol no, im just an individual, i just asked by curiosity and if it was for "removing the systemDevil" i would just go with void linux or smth like that | 10:55 |
| Kremator | just asked because reading some old tutorials o had downloaded and notice they mention upstart | 10:56 |
| lotus|NUC | Kremator: systemd is not that evil, feel free to discuss it over #ubuntu-discuss | 10:56 |
| Something1 | Hehe only slightly evil? | 10:56 |
| FortKnight | lotus|NUC: and i'm sure the room would be "invite only" or have some other mechanism to keep regular users out if it was of importance...like #linux NOT ##linux which is open to any and everybody | 10:56 |
| FortKnight | lotus|NUC: disturb?...worst case is nobody responds for hours. | 10:58 |
| lotus|NUC | feel free to discuss in #ubuntu-discuss if you like FortKnight | 10:58 |

| dchapman | So. Attemping an upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04 and this is the result: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/hky2J2MbvV/ | 11:28 |
| dchapman | I'm a little concerned and not sure what to do next. Just rebooting seems like it could result in a no boot situation. | 11:28 |
| mmkumr_ | After executive 'sudo iw wlp2s0 del' I am unable to turn on my wifi | 11:31 |
| mmkumr_ | how to fix it? | 11:32 |
| ioria | mmkumr_, shouldnot be persistent | 11:38 |
| yeats | dchapman: you might try /var/log/dpkg.log to see if there's anything of interest | 11:38 |
| yeats | dchapman: you could also try 'sudo apt -f install' to see what happens | 11:39 |
| dchapman | yeats: Ok, the log file is long and I have no idea what I should be looking for. I'll try the -f install. | 11:40 |
| dchapman | Looks like it's running to dep issues, and "no such file or directory" errors. It's processing a ton of packages though, apparently. | 11:43 |
| yeats | dchapman: if you can record any errors you see (copy/paste them into a file somewhere) that will be helpful | 11:44 |
| dchapman | Well, I'm not sure if I have the scrollback to catch them. Eesh. | 11:45 |
| yeats | dchapman: you can use the 'script' command (either type 'script' [Enter] and it will create a file in the current directory called 'typescript' - after you're done, Ctrl-D will exit script) | 11:47 |
| yeats | s/either// | 11:48 |
| JimBuntu | dchapman, you should be able to append '|& tee -a output.log' to your command... then you can see it, and capture everything to a log file as well | 11:48 |
| yeats | yeah, more than one way to do it ;-) | 11:48 |
| dchapman | Neat, didn't know about either! | 11:48 |
| yeats | the errors you're seeing *should* end up in /var/log/dpkg.log though | 11:49 |
| dchapman | It completed with 2384 not upgraded. What a headache. | 11:50 |
| yeats | yeah :-/ | 11:50 |
| yeats | dchapman: you should see something like "Errors were encountered while processing:" with a list of packages - if you can pastebin that somewhere, it might help | 11:51 |
| dchapman | I opened dpkg.log in vim and "while processing" didn't match anything. Hm. | 11:56 |
| yeats | dchapman: no - not in the log - on the screen after running 'apt -f install' | 11:57 |
| yeats | dchapman: and you can re-run 'sudo apt -f install' command too - it won't hurt anything | 11:58 |
| dchapman | Sure. Well, re-running it gives: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2384 not upgraded. | 11:59 |
| dchapman | Scolling up as far as I can, I don't see any "while processing" messages. | 11:59 |
| dchapman | I didn't know about capturing that output to a log until after I'd already run it. Heh. | 11:59 |
| yeats | dchapman: try 'sudo apt full-upgrade' while capturing the output | 12:02 |
| dchapman | yeats: Sounds good, I'll give it a shot. | 12:03 |
| cognition | pastebin.com | 12:13 |
| cognition | https://pastebin.com/D5crt77i | 12:15 |
| cognition | ntp is not starting, I pasted the output of strace ntpq -p | 12:16 |
| cognition | 16.04 | 12:16 |
| cognition | seems like a well known issue but not able to find the fix | 12:16 |
| dchapman | yeats: Still processing, but this time it appears to be unpacking things without too many errors. | 12:16 |
| yeats | dchapman: good - if you're saving the output, finding the errors should be possible | 12:17 |
| dchapman | yeats: Yessir, I used the method by JimBuntu, assuming I didn't mistype something. ;) | 12:17 |
| yeats | cognition: "Connection refused" may mean a blocked port or that there's a networking misconfiguration somewhere | 12:19 |
| dchapman | Made more sense to me, I've used tee before to do some file cloning a while back. | 12:20 |
| dchapman | Script looks interesting though I'll have to look at it too. | 12:20 |
| yeats | cognition: looks like it's trying to connect to NTP running on localhost, is that what you're trying to do? | 12:21 |
| yeats | dchapman: script is handy if you want to record a terminal session where you're running more than just a single command | 12:22 |
| dchapman | yeats: neat, that's super useful. | 12:23 |
| cognition | yeats: np. not to localhost | 12:23 |
| cognition | https://pastebin.com/aUbNBLhz | 12:26 |
| dchapman | Just curious, what's "De-configuring" mean in a line. Is that dpkg setting up the configs? | 12:29 |

Is there any way to share the headset between both sessions the same way the normal output device is shared? | 13:47 |
| pluma | AFAICT the difference is that when switching sessions via Ctrl+Alt+F# the speakers are reassigned but the headset is not, so the headset keeps playing audio whereas audio playback is blocked for the speakers (and thus videos tend to pause when switching with speakers but not with the headset) | 13:49 |

| pnwise | Which should work | 15:20 |
| pnwise | But it does not | 15:20 |
| lotus|NUC | pnwise: thats not how it works, to update packages you need to update your system | 15:20 |
| pnwise | I am going to install 18.04 | 15:20 |
| pnwise | When I get the time, but I have too much work | 15:20 |
| dchapman | Also you can use a PPA to install new releases of software, just be aware that these don't go through the ubuntu testing cycle (afaik) | 15:21 |
| pnwise | Yeah the problem here is the official package don't get updated | 15:22 |
| pnwise | Also apt full-upgrade doesn't do waht you think you do | 15:23 |
| pnwise | Whatever | 15:23 |
| pnwise | I will just intall 18.04 | 15:23 |
| pnwise | When I get the chance | 15:23 |
| lotus|NUC | pnwise: pastebin to prove whats happening when you update please | 15:23 |
| dchapman | I see, in that case you have two options. Look for someone maintaining a.. Ok. 18.04 may get you the latest version, but then again, it may not. You may need to use a PPA, or, build the package yourself if you really need it (and can't find a PPA maintained) | 15:24 |
| dchapman | In most cases I don't recommend it though, as it may involve dependencies which may conflict with packages you already have installed. | 15:26 |
| dchapman | Only in critical ops do I consider going outside the official repos. :) | 15:26 |
| pnwise | That is not critical | 15:26 |

| pnwise | There is security updates between 64 and 69 | 15:26 |

| lotus|NUC | pnwise: sudo apt full-upgrade now | 15:27 |

| tgm4883 | pnwise: chromium-browser is not a supported package. It won't get updates. | 15:28 |
| dchapman | Well, there you go. Updating to 18.04 won't matter then. | 15:28 |
| pnwise | Actually I found the problem | 15:29 |
| tgm4883 | Updating to 18.04 will get you version 69. But it won't get you version 70 (when that exists) | 15:29 |
| pnwise | Mirrors are fuck*ed | 15:29 |
| pnwise | tgm4883, I am talking in the official repo there is 69 while my local is 64 | 15:30 |
| tgm4883 | actually yea, it does look like security backported that, never mind me | 15:30 |
| * tgm4883 goes back to the shadows | 15:30 | |
| pnwise | That have nothing to do with future dev | 15:30 |
| pnwise | Just switched to main server and now have 400+ packages to update.... | 15:30 |
| lotus|NUC | pnwise: your system is full of external ppa's wich we cant support | 15:33 |
| pnwise | lotus|NUC, Do you even comprehend what I what wrote? And that I already found the problem? | 15:34 |
| lotus|NUC | pnwise: yeah i read you, im just pointing we normally we dont support external ppa's due to security risks | 15:34 |
| tgm4883 | Let's all stay civil now | 15:34 |
| pnwise | Well I didn't ask for external ppa's. I asked why I wouldn't receive the official update. And when you made me add to pastebin I saw I am querying mirrors and not the main repos, so that made me test with the official ones. So there was something wrong with the mirrors. | 15:37 |
| pnwise | Now I have 400+ packages to update | 15:37 |
| pnwise | And chromium is one of them with version 69.something | 15:37 |

| leonardus | when will the latest version of youtube-dl be in the repository? | 17:00 |
| leonardus | the current version is broken | 17:00 |
| leonardus | https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/issues/17457 | 17:00 |
| teward | leonardus: in which repository? | 17:01 |
| leonardus | default bionic repos | 17:01 |
| NightMonkey | Hi, all. Is there a process by which I can test an LTS Linux kernel package before it is released to an LTS version? Is there some "testing" repo or such that I can use, or are they released directly to stable? | 17:01 |
| NightMonkey | Or a 'testing' PPA I can use that is the pipeline to LTS stable? | 17:02 |
| teward | leonardus: probably isn't going to get the version bump unless someone backports it. you might need to open a package against the version in Bionic explaining why it's broken and then wait for a solution. | 17:02 |
| teward | it's atypical for version(s) to update frequently within a repository | 17:02 |
| nacc | NightMonkey: i guess in theory you could run with -proposed for just the kernel packages. | 17:07 |
| NightMonkey | nacc: Ah, there's a '-proposed' ! Didn't know about that. | 17:07 |
| nacc | !proposed | NightMonkey | 17:08 |
| ubottu | NightMonkey: 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. | 17:08 |
| nacc | NightMonkey: but keep in mind, you need to be cautious, it's easy to break your system with it | 17:08 |
| nacc | hrm, that faq isn't the one i wanted | 17:08 |
| NightMonkey | nacc: I'm actually trying to help our "antivirus" vendor (yes, I know) to have kernel testing and module recompilling done by the time a new kernel package is released to 'stable'. | 17:09 |
| NightMonkey | nacc: I don't think they know about '-poroposed'... | 17:09 |
| NightMonkey | * "-proposed", rather. | 17:09 |
| nacc | NightMonkey: to be clear 'stable' is the wrong term. You mean <release>-updates or <release>-security, i think | 17:10 |
| NightMonkey | nacc: Thank you. Yes. | 17:10 |
| NightMonkey | nacc: So, do LTS kernel releases go through <release>-proposed to <release>-security? Do they ever go through <release>-updates, too? | 17:11 |
| NightMonkey | I just want to show them a predictable path for their testing. | 17:13 |
| nacc | NightMonkey: i suppose it depends. embargoed changes may not go into -proposed. | 17:14 |
| nacc | NightMonkey: if someting is a bugfix only, it will only be in -updates, not -security. | 17:14 |
| nacc | (at least, not necessarily) | 17:14 |
| nacc | kernel changes tend to be a combination of things, though | 17:14 |
| nacc | NightMonkey: you may want your vendor to ask in #ubuntu-kernel, or work with canonical directly | 17:15 |
| NightMonkey | Hey, #ubuntu-kernel. Thanks. | 17:17 |
| nacc | NightMonkey: yw | 17:20 |

| JaydeepGo | hi | 18:16 |
| pragmaticenigma | Hello JaydeepGo ... what can we help you with? | 18:23 |
| hdon | hi all :) i'm new to wayland. please tell me, what is the replacement for xrandr(1)? using gnome-control-center to set up my display resolution and orientation every time i plug my laptop into my two desktops displays is a real struggle. surely there is a command-line interface or something that i can use to set this up? then i could create a script to automatically set it up for me :D | 18:25 |
| pragmaticenigma | hdon: Wayland is still under active development and features found in X11 have not been ported or replicated in the new environment. The recommendation is to us X11 | 18:26 |
| Accord | hey, vim starts slow because it takes 1 sec to connect to the x server, how can I fix this? | 18:27 |
| madLyfe | changing the name of a filesystem won't hard the data will it? | 18:27 |
| madLyfe | harm* | 18:27 |
| pragmaticenigma | madLyfe: what are you talking about? | 18:28 |
| leftyfb | pragmaticenigma: changing the LABEL will not harm the filesystem, no | 18:28 |
| leftyfb | Accord: vim has nothing to do with connecting to an X server | 18:28 |
| madLyfe | I named a disk 'staging storage' and I want to remove the space | 18:28 |
| pragmaticenigma | Accord: vim is not an X application... how are you starting vim? | 18:29 |
| madLyfe | change it to just 'staging' | 18:29 |
| Accord | vim connects to X for clipboard | 18:29 |
| pragmaticenigma | madLyfe: as long as you haven't configured anything to look for that particular value, I don't believe it will harm anything. | 18:29 |
| pragmaticenigma | Accord: No, it doesn't | 18:29 |
| Accord | https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14635295/vim-takes-a-very-long-time-to-start-up | 18:30 |
| YellowSharpie | what is an equivalent package to windows 10 performance monitor? | 18:30 |
| Accord | pragmaticenigma: if I run vim with -X ( which is the option to *not* connect to X) it starts instantly | 18:30 |
| pragmaticenigma | Accord: Looks like you answered your own question then | 18:30 |
| Accord | YellowSharpie: top / htop | 18:30 |
| Accord | pragmaticenigma: no, the solution suggested there is to disable clipboard | 18:30 |
| Accord | I have clipboard set to on on my debian and there's no delay | 18:31 |
| YellowSharpie | I dont find it as useful by the gui | 18:31 |
| Accord | I don't use the gui but I want clipboard | 18:31 |
| leftyfb | YellowSharpie: system monitory if you insist on a GUI | 18:32 |
| YellowSharpie | I want God to fix all problems | 18:32 |
| leftyfb | YellowSharpie: please don't | 18:32 |
| pragmaticenigma | YellowSharpie: Please stay on topic, this is a support channel, nothing more | 18:32 |
| Accord | in the vim startup log this takes 1000ms : xsmp init | 18:33 |
| Accord | oddly I don't have this step on debian | 18:33 |
| leftyfb | Accord: then use debian | 18:34 |
| leftyfb | Accord: I have zero delay in using vim on ubuntu 16.04 | 18:35 |
| YellowSharpie | installing htop, again. Will stop whinging like there is a universal language | 18:36 |
| Accord | leftyfb: do you have clipboard enabled? vim --version | grep clipboard | 18:36 |
| leftyfb | Accord: negative | 18:37 |
| leftyfb | Accord: what's the purpose of that? I can select text in vim and copy and paste it | 18:37 |
| pragmaticenigma | Accord: I just installed vim in 18.04, comes up instantly | 18:37 |
| pragmaticenigma | Accord: clipboard enabled | 18:37 |
| Accord | leftyfb: when I yank in vim it goes to clipboard | 18:37 |
| leftyfb | ah, that is nice | 18:38 |
| leftyfb | think i'll turn that on to play with it | 18:38 |
| Accord | pragmaticenigma: which version? vim-gtk? | 18:38 |
| pragmaticenigma | Accord: vim-gtk is not the same as vim... they run different environments... you asked about vim... I gave you the answer | 18:41 |
| Accord | pragmaticenigma: I just removed all my vim packages, did apt-get install vim and it doesn't have clipboard | 18:44 |
| leftyfb | Accord: do you have vim-gtk installed? | 18:44 |
| Accord | I just said I removed all of them | 18:44 |
| leftyfb | vim-gtk I think is what enables clipboard | 18:45 |
| Accord | sure but pragmaticenigma said he had no vim-gtk and also had clipboard | 18:45 |
| pragmaticenigma | I just installed vim-gtk ... clipboard enabled... instant launch | 18:45 |
| leftyfb | I just installed vim+gtk, confirmed +clipboard, but it doesn't seem to be working for me :/ | 18:46 |
| leftyfb | it also does open up instantly | 18:46 |
| nacc | are you all testing the same version of vim, ubuntu, etc.? | 18:48 |
| Accord | i'm on 18.04 | 18:49 |
| cristian_c | hello | 18:50 |
| noway96 | When I suspend my computer, power to my external drives gets cut. How does that happen exactly? | 18:50 |
| nacc | noway96: how are they powered? | 18:51 |
| cristian_c | I've got rtl8188etv wifi card (using r8188eu driver). I've made several trsts but when I try it on an amd ryzen machine, system freezes/crashes | 18:51 |
| noway96 | nacc SATA power | 18:51 |
| Jordan_U | noway96: Most laptops won't supply power to USB when suspended. (Some will IFF the laptop is plugged into AC, many not even then). | 18:51 |
| nacc | noway96: meaning, via the machine you are suspending? | 18:51 |
| noway96 | nacc yes | 18:51 |
| nacc | Jordan_U: or specific port, that are always on, i guess? | 18:51 |
| cristian_c | 18.04 | 18:51 |
| Accord | this is my vim version : http://codepad.org/qqcnzIHv | 18:52 |
| nacc | noway96: depends on what Jordan_U said, i think | 18:52 |
| noway96 | nacc, my question is more like this: how does my linux machine turn off power supplied by SATA power cable | 18:52 |
| cristian_c | I've tried alao on different machines/OSes and it never makes system freezing/crashing (intel platforms) | 18:52 |
| nacc | noway96: that is probably what your SATA controller does when the hardware is suspended. | 18:53 |
| noway96 | nacc, is there a folder/file corresponding to my SATA controller in sys? | 18:54 |
| cristian_c | I've tried also an old kubuntu 17.04 with kernel 4.11 on ryzen machine and it doesn't crashes when I try to use that wifi card, but if I inatall the recent kerbel, it doesn't appear in grub | 18:54 |
| nacc | noway96: yes? I don't know | 18:54 |
| noway96 | nacc, I'm going to try to find it and see if I can echo some value to a file in there that will suspend just that SATA controller | 18:55 |
| cristian_c | so, I've tried to re-install 18.04 in ryzen. The machine doesn't freezes using that wifi card in live mode (dvd), with kerbel 4.15.0 | 18:55 |
| cristian_c | but if, after installed, I upgrade to a recebt kerbel, system freezes when trying ti mske connection | 18:55 |
| pragmaticenigma | Accord: You have a large number of additional plugins... anyone of those could be the culprit... process of elimination, disable all of them, then enable one-by-one ... you will find what is really slowing down vim... that was also discussed in the article you posted. | 18:56 |
| leftyfb | Accord: are you just trying to disable clipboard in vim? | 18:57 |
| cristian_c | older kernels don't make to crash system when wifi card is initiakizing connection but they don't boot (if I don't use nokodeset) | 18:57 |
| cristian_c | if I install 4.19 kernel, system boots but wifi card makes system freezing/crashing (similar freeze with 4.18.8 kerbel) | 18:58 |
| cristian_c | *kernel | 18:58 |
| hdon | pragmaticenigma: oh :( | 18:59 |
| cristian_c | How could I solve this rough issue? | 18:59 |
| cristian_c | Any ideas? | 18:59 |
| pragmaticenigma | hdon: Is there something I can help you with? Or did you accidentally ping my nick? | 19:00 |
| hdon | pragmaticenigma: was responding to you from earlier. 11:26 < pragmaticenigma> hdon: Wayland is still under active development and features found in X11 have not been ported or replicated in the new environment. The recommendation is to us X11 | 19:00 |
| hdon | sorry :( | 19:00 |

| NewToLubuntu | any recommendations on how to run games which only say designed for a windows platform? | 19:01 |
| kumool | NewToLubuntu, #gamingonlinux | 19:01 |

| kumool | but i second pragmaticenigma on the run them on windows, you're always going to run into unnecessary problems | 19:02 |
| kumool | hell, I stopped trying after my latest "problem" of blackening out the screen with no way of recovering Xorg | 19:02 |
| ketchup | is there diagramming software for linux where I can expand and collapse connectors | 19:08 |
| ketchup | im using kunbntu | 19:08 |
| ketchup | kubuntu | 19:08 |
| pragmaticenigma | ketchup: Can you give an example of a program that you have used in the past to accomplish that goal? | 19:08 |
| leftyfb | ketchup: in what context? what type of connectors? | 19:09 |
| ketchup | edraw max probably | 19:09 |
| ketchup | its a line which connects two textboxes | 19:09 |
| ketchup | two or more | 19:09 |
| ketchup | kinda like a tree | 19:09 |
| ketchup | but not exactually | 19:10 |
| ketchup | edraw cant export the functionality into any file type however, so it can only be done within the editor | 19:10 |
| ketchup | and besides, it has other issues as well | 19:11 |
| ketchup | I used windows prior to now | 19:11 |
| ketchup | I must have tried every single windows/web app of this sort | 19:11 |
| granttrec | ketchup: libre draw | 19:12 |
| ketchup | im using that now but cant figure out how to collapse them | 19:12 |
| ketchup | there is normally a little + and - button beside each connector which you can click | 19:13 |
| Accord | did a reboot now it's fine lol | 19:13 |
| granttrec | ketchup: you want that in the editor or when its finished? | 19:13 |
| ketchup | both | 19:14 |
| ketchup | preferably a web page | 19:14 |
| pragmaticenigma | Accord: That would sound like you had a large amount of data in your clipboard if you did nothing else beyond a reboot | 19:14 |
| granttrec | ketchup: sorry but thats not gonna happen in an vector graphics editor | 19:15 |
| ketchup | ok how about just in the editor | 19:16 |
| === elibrokeit is now known as meltdown_spectre | ||
| granttrec | ketchup: I don't think it would be in an editor, but there are some digram web apps that might let you do it | 19:18 |
| ketchup | web apps will just crash | 19:18 |
| granttrec | unless its not a vector graphics editor but just a program to make flowcharts or mind maps | 19:19 |
| granttrec | ketchup: yeah that makes sense, bad idea for a webapp tbh | 19:19 |
| ketchup | im not bothered if its svg or not as long as it isnt blurry | 19:19 |
| ketchup | but even some apps with anti aliasing disabled and saving as uncompressed raster format still is blurry | 19:20 |
| JimBuntu | ketchup, I presume you checked out these - https://alternativeto.net/software/edraw-max/?license=opensource&platform=linux | 19:22 |
| ketchup | looks like some I havn't tried yet so ill try them | 19:23 |
| granttrec | ketchup: the only thing I can recommend is getting good with a vector graphics editor, you can make really impressive things with some practice | 19:25 |
| granttrec | kinda irrelevant comparison but its like when you find out draftsight has 3d | 19:25 |
| ketchup | I need to be able to drag and resize stuff after clicking away from it | 19:27 |
| ketchup | also be able to snap connectors to objects | 19:27 |
| nacc | there's very little gimp can't do | 19:28 |

| uebera|| | Hi. Is there a setting to ensure that neither grub nor any other kernel.deb pre/post install script will *ever* create "linux/initrd" entries instead of "linuxefi/initrdefi"? Because my NUC requires [U]EFI mode. | 19:40 |
| uebera|| | Ellusion: I use 'mpv' for nearly everything. | 19:41 |

| Tin_man | close it in a smaller window then re-open it. | 20:48 |
| scoffin | thanks, but that does not work :-( | 20:48 |
| Tin_man | if you adjust it to the size you want it, (manually) it will re-open at that size.. | 20:49 |
| nacc | scoffin: works fine here | 20:49 |
| scoffin | does not do so for me | 20:49 |
| doublehp | jelly: after reinstall, problem did not come back | 20:49 |
| Tin_man | are you adjusting it manually or just using the button to size it? | 20:49 |
| scoffin | pull corners with mouse after leave maximized | 20:50 |
| scoffin | plus drag window around with mouse | 20:50 |
| scoffin | all re-open maximized next time ??? | 20:51 |
| nacc | scoffin: how are you opening firefox? | 20:52 |
| scoffin | activites icon | 20:52 |
| scoffin | or command-line | 20:52 |
| nacc | scoffin: do you have 'restore previous session' enabled? | 20:52 |
| scoffin | where is that setting? | 20:53 |
| nacc | scoffin: about:preferences | 20:53 |
| nacc | scoffin: not sure if it's related, but both my systems have that enabled and both do what you are asking for | 20:53 |

| hongo2536 | hi, just upgraded ubuntu from 16.04 to 18.04, and windows can't move now. Eg, i fire up a terminal window, and there's no area to grab and move it | 21:15 |
| === capella is now known as capella|away | ||
| hongo2536 | is there some window manager thing i need to do? wmctrl says i'm running gnome | 21:16 |
| nacc | hongo2536: have you rebooted since the upgrade? | 21:19 |
| nacc | hongo2536: and how did you upgrade? | 21:19 |
| hongo2536 | oh yeah, several times i've rebooted | 21:20 |
| nacc | hongo2536: and finally, did the release upgrade complete without errors? | 21:20 |
| hongo2536 | Open the "Software & Updates" Setting in System Settings. Select the 3rd Tab called "Updates". Set the "Notify me of a new Ubuntu version" drop down menu to "For any new version" if you are using 16.04 LTS; set it to "For long-term support versions" if you are using 17.10. Press Alt+F2 and type update-manager -c into the command box. Update Manager should open up and tell you that Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is now available. | 21:21 |
| hongo2536 | that's from the ubuntu wiki | 21:21 |
| hongo2536 | and it did complete w/o errors | 21:21 |
| nacc | hongo2536: you can just say `update-manager -c` :) | 21:21 |
| nacc | hongo2536: can you type in the terminal you can't open? if so `ps aux | grep gnome-shell`, does it return any processes? | 21:22 |
| hongo2536 | initially i was getting errors, but i wasn't updating all of the other software. So i first updated all the software, then when it asked me if i wanted to upgrade to 18.04, i said yes and it completed w/o error | 21:22 |
| hongo2536 | oh yeah, i can work in the terminal no problem | 21:22 |
| nacc | (sorry can't move, not can't open above) | 21:23 |
| hongo2536 | yeah, i get 4 or so gnome-shell processes | 21:23 |
| nacc | strange, i think that should be managing your windows | 21:24 |
| hongo2536 | yeah, it's like i'm missing some setting that enables the window decoration | 21:24 |
| hongo2536 | it's the same for other procs, like firefox | 21:24 |
| nacc | might be missing a theme or something? https://askubuntu.com/questions/877270/gnome3-window-decorations-disappeared-on-ubuntu-16-04 | 21:25 |
| === kernel-3xp is now known as keinstein-3xp | ||
| hongo2536 | @nacc so i installed that gnome tweak tool, ran it, and it just looks really strange. The UI for the dropdowns for applications/cursor/icons is all messed up. | 21:34 |
| hongo2536 | Interestingly, this window does have a bar i can grab and move the window with | 21:34 |
| nacc | hongo2536: hrm, i'm not sure. You could try and create a dummy user, and then login as that user | 21:34 |
| hongo2536 | oh that's a good idea | 21:35 |
| nacc | hongo2536: see if it's normal, it might be something from your 16.04 ~/.config or ~/.local directories | 21:35 |
| nacc | hongo2536: it's one of my long-standing open-source complaints that per-user config files aren't tracked the same as the system ones, even though they are at well-defined paths. | 21:36 |
| TomyLobo | hi | 21:42 |
| TomyLobo | is 14.04 still supported? | 21:42 |
| hongo2536 | @nacc oh yeah, the new user looks fine | 21:44 |
| nacc | TomyLobo: yes, until next year | 21:44 |
| TomyLobo | rhetorical question, the answer is yes, but i'm wondering why there's no openjdk 8 in it | 21:44 |
| hongo2536 | i have to run now, i'll get back to this later, but thanks a bunch for the help! | 21:44 |
| nacc | hongo2536: interesting. it can be a pain to debug, but you can backup those dirs in your user and see if it fixes it | 21:44 |
| nacc | TomyLobo: why would there be? | 21:45 |
| TomyLobo | now i dont know about openjdk, but oracle jdk 7 is EOL | 21:45 |
| TomyLobo | software is starting to require 8 | 21:45 |
| nacc | TomyLobo: openjdk 8 didn't come out until march 2014 | 21:45 |
| TomyLobo | that's 4 years in the past | 21:45 |
| nacc | TomyLobo: so is when your OS came out. | 21:46 |
| TomyLobo | and i suppose the same policy applies to, for instance, firefox? | 21:46 |
| nacc | TomyLobo: firefox has a a different policy, aiui | 21:47 |
| nacc | TomyLobo: rh has said openjdk-7 will go until 2020 | 21:48 |
| nacc | TomyLobo: if your software needs openjdk 8, go to a modern OS (14.04 is not considered modern, imo) | 21:48 |
| nacc | !latest | TomyLobo: pretty sure this is just another way of asking about this | 21:49 |
| ubottu | TomyLobo: pretty sure this is just another way of asking about this: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 21:49 |
| TomyLobo | imo, complex software like that should be updated if upstream declares it EOL | 21:49 |
| nacc | TomyLobo: and upstream has not. | 21:49 |
| === meltdown_spectre is now known as elibrokeit | ||
| TomyLobo | nacc, who is the upstream for openjdk? | 21:53 |
| nacc | TomyLobo: what? openjdk is an upstream project. | 21:53 |
| TomyLobo | who maintains it? | 21:53 |
| TomyLobo | as far as i can tell, it's maintained by oracle | 21:53 |
| nacc | without being too snarky (it's friday, admittedly), not knowing that means maybe you shouldn't use that software | 21:54 |
| nacc | TomyLobo: rh maintains oracle's eol releases when they have given them up in the past | 21:55 |
| TomyLobo | alright, then i guess there is an upstream | 21:56 |
| Stabington | gnome-shell is using > 10% CPU o.o | 21:59 |
| Kremator | Stabington, >GNOME | 21:59 |
| Kremator | there's your problem | 22:00 |
| Stabington | you don't say | 22:00 |
| nacc | Stabington: gnome-shell is a bit of a cpu hog, admittedly, is it sustained? | 22:00 |
| Stabington | Yep, hovering at around 10% | 22:00 |
| Stabington | 319 MB memory... | 22:00 |
| Stabington | wtf it's just a desktop >.< | 22:01 |
| Kremator | Stabington, just go to a TTY and use your pc from there | 22:01 |
| nacc | Kremator: please either provide actual support | 22:02 |
| nacc | s/either/ | 22:02 |
| Stabington | Seems like it's happening when I got a video playing in the browser | 22:03 |
| Kremator | Stabington, depending on your CPU architecture (and therefore it's instruction set) and the video format, video playback can be very CPU consuming} | 22:05 |
| Kremator | also, the video resolution does affect aswell | 22:05 |
| Kremator | try using MPV with that video and check if the CPU % usage is the same | 22:05 |
| Stabington | I get that, but... why is gnome-shell using more CPU | 22:05 |
| Stabington | That has nothing to do with video encoding | 22:06 |
| Stabington | decoding* | 22:06 |
| TomyLobo | Stabington, does gnome-shell use more cpu only while a video is playing? | 22:06 |
| Stabington | Seems like it | 22:06 |
| TomyLobo | no idea what gnome-shell is or does (i'm more of a kde user), but is it possible that playback is piped through that? | 22:07 |
| nacc | Stabington: do you hvae multiple displays? | 22:07 |
| Stabington | It's only when I have the tab open as well | 22:07 |
| nacc | Stabington: and of course your window manager has something to do with displaying the video... | 22:07 |
| Stabington | nacc, I do indeed | 22:07 |
| Kremator | and you didnt use that gnome-shell to call firefox/chromium right? | 22:07 |
| TomyLobo | ah video in a browser... hardware-accelerated or not? | 22:08 |
| Stabington | Should be HW accelerated | 22:08 |
| TomyLobo | odd... i wouldnt expect the window manager to be involved in that much in that case | 22:08 |

| help_ubuntu | I googled a bit and found threads with similar warning, but haven't found solution | 22:30 |
| help_ubuntu | I really have to use my laptop tomorrow : ( | 22:30 |
| help_ubuntu | I tried starting with another kernel, but doesn't work either | 22:30 |
| Stabington | Can't find any compositing options. Maybe gnome-shell is just shit? | 22:31 |

| help_ubuntu | yeah I found that as well, but no solution :( | 22:33 |
| help_ubuntu | nacc: it just keeps flashing that warning, the only thing that happens | 22:34 |
| help_ubuntu | I can go to the root terminal though, but can't access my personal data | 22:34 |
| nacc | help_ubuntu: can you try booting in recovery mode, or edit the grub menu and remove the entries for 'quiet splash' ? | 22:34 |
| nacc | help_ubuntu: that message does not necessarily indicate what the actual problem is | 22:35 |
| help_ubuntu | ok, so I'm now in grub menu I think, I will choose the new kernel (4.15.0.34-generic) in recovery mode | 22:36 |
| help_ubuntu | I know have to unlock sda3_crypt | 22:36 |
| help_ubuntu | nacc: so I get same warning in terminal screen now (failed to connect to lvmetad..) | 22:38 |
| help_ubuntu | nacc: now I'm in recovery menu | 22:38 |
| nacc | help_ubuntu: ok, for some people, they are able to boot successfully from there, which you could try (worst case, reboot it again) | 22:38 |
| nacc | help_ubuntu: i think you just exit the shell to boot normally | 22:38 |
| help_ubuntu | nacc: so just click 'resume' ? | 22:38 |
| nacc | or that, yeah :) | 22:38 |
| nacc | i haven't used recovery in a while, sorry | 22:39 |
| help_ubuntu | nacc: just goes back to recovery menu | 22:39 |
| nacc | help_ubuntu: i'm sorry, if you hit enter on 'resume', it just goes back to the same menu? | 22:40 |
| help_ubuntu | yeah, but now I did it again and it's flashing some terminal screen | 22:40 |
| help_ubuntu | can't do anything atm | 22:40 |
| help_ubuntu | I should probably force shut my laptop | 22:41 |
| help_ubuntu | or should I wait? | 22:41 |
| nacc | help_ubuntu: what does the flashing say? | 22:41 |
| nacc | help_ubuntu: it's hard to debug things this way :) | 22:42 |
| help_ubuntu | well yeah, it flashes too fast so I can't read it, will try to take pic at right moment | 22:42 |
| nacc | help_ubuntu: ok ... how long did you leave your normal boot for? | 22:43 |
| help_ubuntu | few minutes | 22:43 |
| nacc | help_ubuntu: if you can go to a 'root terminal' (I htink you mean ctrl+alt+f1 ?) | 22:43 |
| nacc | help_ubuntu: then your system isn't frozen and it's possibly not done booting, you might need to give it longer | 22:43 |
| help_ubuntu | nacc: https://i.imgur.com/DxP9ki0.jpg | 22:46 |
| help_ubuntu | it's what's flashing | 22:47 |
| help_ubuntu | doesn't change | 22:47 |
| help_ubuntu | same screen always | 22:47 |
| nacc | help_ubuntu: oh ok, it actually got quite far in the boot then | 22:47 |
| nacc | help_ubuntu: if you cycle through the ctrl+alt+f<1...8> tty's, do any of them show a graphical display? | 22:48 |
| help_ubuntu | right now? | 22:48 |
| nacc | yeah | 22:48 |
| help_ubuntu | no, nothing happens | 22:49 |
| help_ubuntu | so now it's 10 minutes, should I still wait? or force kill laptop? | 22:50 |
| nacc | help_ubuntu: hrm, i really don't know. the other thing you can try and do is boot to recovery and pick 'root' (to drop to a shell) and try to debug from there | 22:50 |
| nacc | help_ubuntu: e.g., seeing if your disks are present, etc. | 22:50 |
| nacc | help_ubuntu: you probably don't need to keep waiting | 22:51 |
| nacc | help_ubuntu: canyou see if it responds to alt+sysrq+reiusb ? | 22:51 |
| help_ubuntu | nacc: when should I try that? I'm now back in grub menu | 22:53 |
| nacc | help_ubuntu: oh that was as opposed to the force kill of your laptop | 22:54 |
| help_ubuntu | nacc: so now I'm in the root terminal, what should I do here? | 22:56 |
| nacc | help_ubuntu: check `dmesg` for errors | 22:56 |
| nacc | help_ubuntu: otherwise, you can see if you can mount your disks, etc. | 22:56 |
