[08:46] Can someone explain what an "executable file" is in the context of Ubuntu? Because the system isn't showing me a filetype, and the terminal won't recognize them as files from what I can see. [08:47] ace_me: any update from your side [08:47] quxgyver: a 'executable file' is a file with the +x flag set. [08:47] quxgyver: it's a very broad term, generally it applies to files with the execute bit set in their permissions (see 'man chmod') [08:47] quxgyver: it can be ELF binaries or scripts with a shebang line mostly [08:47] Ah I see. [08:48] In my case the file has a purple rhombus-shaped icon with two cogs. [08:48] Anyone know what that is? [08:49] quxgyver: you can ask the 'file' tool to find out [08:50] quxgyver: run command in this format " file --mime-type -b filename " [08:51] niSan I am stuck at login [08:51] or just 'file ', which will give you more detailed information in most cases and is easier to remember :) [08:51] ace_me_mob: ok what is going on there [08:51] nisankhindia_: It says "application/x-executable" [08:51] which is about the same information as I had going into this question! [08:51] quxgyver: use 'file ' [08:52] I enter login and it keep me ther [08:52] ELF [08:52] ace_me_mob: wait [08:52] I reenter pass and arrive at login [08:52] I don't know what that is, but you mentioned it so I guess that's the answer. [08:52] quxgyver: the ELF format is the standard binary executable format for Linux [08:52] Ah IC [08:53] i want to output a dict as a csv.. with ',' as separator and the values in the csv line as key=value [08:53] quxgyver: what you get when you compile a C program for example [08:53] ace_me_mob: you have faced the login loop scenerio , [08:53] how to open a tty to see logs? [08:53] how is this most easily achieved? [08:53] Gotcha. :-) [08:53] yes? [08:53] So on to my next question then, I downloaded an application which has an ELF executable, and it used to be that I could double-click it to run it up until today, when I copied it to a different partition and it now suddenly lacks the X parameter [08:53] login loop scenario [08:53] or attribute* rather [08:53] lucky me [08:53] I can't seem to change it either [08:53] Anyone know what might've caused this? [08:53] ace_me_mob: ivoke the tty [08:54] How [08:54] ace_me_mob: and that restart the display manager [08:54] quxgyver: the partition might be mounted with the no execute option [08:54] alt f1 [08:54] quxgyver: type 'mount' and look at the options in the row for that partition [08:54] ace_me_mob: i guess it works with ctrl+alt+F1 [08:55] f2 worked [08:55] ace_me_mob: now restart your display manager [08:55] and how to restart display ? === kundancool is now known as anonymousK [08:56] I did sudo service display manager restart but same [08:56] ace_me_mob: cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager [08:57] avu: Thanks, that's cool/good to know how to do. [08:57] I can't see anything about execs not being allowed [08:57] Hm, I just read something about certain partitions not allowing file permissions [08:57] Maybe I need to format it [08:57] quxgyver: the option is called 'noexec' [08:57] ace_me_mob: what is the output of " cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager " [08:59] no such file [08:59] oops [08:59] avu: Yeah, no such thing there.

It just remains at "Nobody" [09:04] Could it be the filesystem of the partition? [09:04] If so, what's the easiest way to partition it correctly? [09:04] mouses: It's just a command, not a script (I think? I might be mixing up terminology).

[09:07] Galactor: so you just need to create a script (i'd just open a terminal and use nano to create something like this* [09:07] Galactor: yes, i'll give you an example [09:07] mouses: thanks! [09:08] ace_me_mob: thats usual [09:08] Galactor: http://i.imgur.com/AEKwSMt.png [09:09] Galactor: And then just do the cron thing I showed you and you should be good to go!

Thats a good tip. :) Let me try this out and Ill get back to you after a reboot to test [09:12] yes [09:12] yello! :) [09:13] ace_me_mob: from your terminal run this first " chown username:username .Xauthority " where username is your user [09:13] after upgrading to ubuntu 18.04 from 16.04 i cannot start php7.2-fpm - i get php7.2-fpm.service: Start operation timed out.

[09:16] Galactor: no, first just run sudo crontab -e [09:16] that will open a editor [09:16] add the line: [09:17] @reboot /path/to/script [09:17] save and exit, and then give it a reboot [09:17] should we install it ? === capella is now known as capella|away [09:18] ace_me_mob: install that , or check what display manager your system used by default [09:18] how to check ? [09:19] Galactor: so it should look something like this: [09:19] Galactor: http://i.imgur.com/f8snroC.png [09:19] display link manager? [09:19] ace_me_mob: " sudo apt-get install --reinstall gdm3 gnome-shell " and " sudo apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop " [09:23] sad it does not work [09:23] installed all and dpkg-reconfigure... but [09:24] have other ideas!? [09:25] it seems weird [09:26] I just initialized a format using Disks, but I'm not getting a confirmation or anything [09:26] how do I ensure that it's done? [09:26] ace_me_mob: wait let me check the chat logs , your nvidia driver was 390 ??? [09:29] ace_me: ace_me_mob: here is the solution it needs nvidia-driver-390 some dependencies .. it doesn't work without the libglvnd and xorg-server from bionic-proposed [09:32] mouses: Seems to have worked! Thank you very much! I documented the process so I could look it up later if I forget [09:34] Galactor: Yay! Crontab is super powerful, you can do so much great stuff with it [09:35] mouses: Very nifty! Happy to have learned something today. Another step towards competence! [09:35] Galactor: \o/ glad it all works! [10:02] I formatted an SD card and USB stick using Disks [10:02] now they won't appear anywhere in the filesystem [10:02] even though they're clearly visible in the disk manager [10:03] what is this black magic [10:03] quxgyver: can you pastebin "sudo parted -ls" ? [10:04] Error: /dev/mmcblk0boot1: unrecognised disk label [10:04] This is one of the affected devices [10:04] Could this be an issue? [10:04] (also thanks) [10:04] Partition Table: unknown also. [10:05] In Disks it says that it has the GUID Partition Table tho [10:05] Both of them [10:05] sudo gparted -ls [10:06] I don't have gparted. [10:06] quxgyver: do you want a gpt or msdos partition table? [10:06] I guess I'll install it [10:06] EriC^^: Whichever is the most compatible with Linux [10:06] cus the reason why I formatted was cus I've been having issues with FAT [10:07] what's the disk's designation under "lsblk" ? [10:07] /dev/?? [10:07] I ran your command and just got "Unit -.mount does not exist, proceeding anyway." and "Could not stat device -ls - No such file or directory." [10:08]
