[00:41] anyone know where I can get compiz fusion? [00:42] For 18.04 === [ghost] is now known as ghostboarder [00:58] hi! I'm looking for a CLI tool to download a file from an HTTPS URL but only if the server's certificate has the expected SHA-256 or SHA-512 hash which I'd like to provide for each download attempt. do you know suitable tool? [00:59] checking the cert first with openssl and then accepting any cert for the actual download obviously isn't an option. [01:02] I have an Ubuntu desktop but only use it via SSH. (It's not even hooked up to a monitor.) Every now and then I see Xorg using a ton of CPU. Wondering if somebody could explain what's going on in this command? [01:03] Command (seen from top): /xorg/Xorg -core :0 -seat seat0 -auth /var/run/lightdm/root/:0 -nolisten tcp vt7 -novtswitch [01:07] https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+question/229673 is all I found [01:07] apawl: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+question/229673 is all I found [01:11] apawl: if there is no monitor attached, is the GUI not being used at all? does it need to be running even? [01:12] TJ-: nope. If I were installing fresh, I'd just install server. Which is why seeing Xorg using so much CPU freaks me out a little. [01:12] apawl, maybe a screensaver kicking in or something? [01:13] apawl, is there a window manager running in your X? also check xlsclients [01:15] Sven_vB: Hm.. xlsclients: unable to open display "" [01:15] apawl, run it with appropriate DISPLAY env var [01:15] e.g. DISPLAY=:0 xlsclients -al [01:16] desktop running ubuntu 16.04 here; my wired connection keeps dropping but wifi works fine when using an external wireless card, the menu says "device not managed" which I googled and someone suggested I set "managed=true" in the networkmanager.conf file [01:17] I restared the service but no luck [01:17] any ideas anyone? [01:17] this happened yesterday as well and was resolved by restarting my computer [01:17] apawl, besides that you could try taking screenshots every few seconds, and when the CPU usage spikes, save the few most recent ones, and the next few ones, for later investigation. maybe you can see some clues in them. [01:21] apawl, also monitor the process IDs of those lightdm instance(s), so you'd know if it somehow crashes and restarts. [01:22] or Xorg instances, or both [01:29] apawl: if the PC isn't using the GUI then why not disable it; then its just like a server [01:31] Vashy: "device not managed" usually means Network Manager is configured not to manage the wired "en*" interfaces - but I thought that issue only hit 18.04 systems. [01:32] Vashy: do you have the wired interfaces configured to be managed by ifupdown (in /etc/network/interfaces{,.d/*} ) ? === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash [01:32] no clue [01:32] I can check === capella|away is now known as capellasBrain [01:33] this is what I have in /etc/network/interfaces [01:33] # interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8) [01:33] auto lo [01:33] iface lo inet loopback [01:35] my interface name (from ifconfig) is: enp0s31f6 [01:35] idk if that matters? [01:35] TJ-, ^ === BgLamersTeam is now known as Dreaman [01:40] Vashy: right, so you may be affected by the issue I'm thinking of. Did you install from the desktop LiveISO originally? [01:41] I'm not sure what that means [01:42] I "burned" the iso onto a usb stick and installed it by booting to it [01:42] like 2 years ago almost [01:43] OK, lets check if its the issue I'm thinking of. does this show anything? "cat /usr/lib/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-globally-managed-devices.conf " [01:45] nope no such file [01:45] cat: /usr/lib/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-globally-managed-devices.conf: No such file or directory [01:48] Vashy: ok, not that then! The issue in 18.04 is that file configures N.M. to *not* manage any device with a name matching "en*" [01:49] Vashy: let's review the log-file. Show us "pastebinit <( tail -n 1000 /var/log/syslog )" [01:52] mind if I send it to you directly? idk what kind of pii might be in it [01:53] TJ-, [01:58] Hello :) [01:59] I am checking a new IRC build [01:59] is it possible to see my posts [01:59] ? [02:00] hello IceHard :D [02:00] you seem to posting fine [02:01] Thx a lot [02:01] Glad to hear it [02:01] :) [02:03] Vashy: we provide support in public. The only info specific to the system would be its internal LAN IP address and/or WiFi SSID [02:04] https://privatebin.net/?91acc92c1aeac6ed#lyZUz8dwLhMr7AIH2EwTd+EE1UP1L+Mve/WkgkMv8IE= [02:04] pass: tjisthebest [02:06] no problem, have a nice day IceHard [02:06] :) THx [02:10] any ideas TJ- ? === Tabstar is now known as Tabmow [02:20] I have some ideas :) [02:20] yo [02:20] whats really good? [02:20] Yes [02:20] you program? [02:21] yes i do program [02:21] coo bro, ive been writing python and javascript for a couple years now, i was living in san francisco teaching myself but never could get hired because i dont have a bachelors so now im looking for ways to make money (: [02:22] just to give you a little of my life story ;) [02:23] :) got you [02:23] yup [02:24] wanna write some ph1sh1ng schemes with me or something? are you behind a vpn? [02:24] anyone know where I can get compiz fusion? [02:24] yes i am of couse :) [02:25] ok cool [02:25] Vashy: having problems opening the pastebin [02:26] Vashy: ahhh, got it. The URL was wrapped in the IRC window and missed some characters [02:27] Vashy: OK, the device is managed by N.M. - but there's a hardware error: "kernel: [22737.427650] e1000e 0000:00:1f.6 enp0s31f6: Detected Hardware Unit Hang:" [02:29] 2 TJ Are you a hardware supporter? May be it is better to talk in privat [02:31] hm [02:32] Vashy: from what I'm reading this is due to various hardware offload functions, and it may be possible to configure the device not to use those to workaround it [02:32] I wonder why this would come up now all of a sudden [02:32] I've been using wired connections for years [02:32] I did just move though and my desktop was in storage for a few days [02:32] Vashy: try this: "sudo ethtool -K enp0s21f6 gso off gro off tso off" [02:33] Vashy: bah, typo! [02:33] yeah no such device :) [02:33] Vashy: try this: "sudo ethtool -K enp0s31f6 gso off gro off tso off" [02:33] no output to stdout [02:33] Vashy: good :) [02:34] but wired connection still not workign [02:34] Vashy: right; I think it may need something more to re-init the device. I'm still reading up [02:35] you're the best [02:41] Vashy: it's unclear; but try this: "nmcli con down 'Wired connection 1' " then "nmcli con up 'Wired connection 1' " [02:48] Hello. I'm trying to use Bionic desktop. When I press Alt+Tab, there's some delay until the overlay of icons is displayed. The delay is short, but it's noticeable enough to be annoying. In contrast, the overlay of app icons appear very quickly in Windows 10 Pro on the same machine. Is there a setting I can tweak? Or is it really a performance issue? [02:51] anyone know common causes for black screen after suspend on a laptop? running kubuntu 18.04 [02:56] solved it by installing this: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1317/alt-tab-switcher-popup-delay-removal/ [02:56] TJ-, [02:56] ➜ network nmcli con up 'Wired connection 1' [02:56] Error: Connection activation failed. [02:58] Vashy: hmmm. So we may be in a chicken-and-egg situation. We may have sent the correct commands via ethtool but the device is in a bad state. [02:59] Vashy: if you do "lsmod | grep ^e1000" what does it show? [03:00] ➜ network lsmod | grep ^e1000 [03:00] grep: if-post-down.d: Is a directory [03:00] grep: if-pre-up.d: Is a directory [03:00] grep: if-up.d: Is a directory [03:00] grep: interfaces.d: Is a directory [03:10] THATS WHAT HE SAID [03:18] Vashy: hmmm, looks like you might be using a shell other than bash, that wasn't how it should have gone! [03:19] yeah I'm using zsh [03:19] should I switch to bash and try those commands again TJ- ? [03:19] Vashy: grrr! try "lsmod | grep '^e1000' " :) [03:19] hebron@SkyHigh:/etc/network$ lsmod | grep '^e1000' [03:19] e1000e 249856 0 [03:19] Vashy: just needed the args to grep quoting to protect the ^ (start-of-line-anchor) [03:20] Vashy: right, that last 0 means no other module is depending on it so we can unload it, reload it, use ethtool again, then try to bring the interface up [03:20] ok so: [03:20] 1. nmcli con down 'Wired connection 1' [03:21] 2. nmcli con up 'Wired connection 1' [03:21] 3. sudo ethtool -K enp0s31f6 gso off gro off tso off [03:21] 4. ??? [03:22] Vashy: so: "sudo modprobe -r e1000e && sudo modprobe e1000e && sudo ethtool -K gro off gso off tso off && nmcli con up 'Wired Connection 1' " [03:22] oops, lower-case 'c' in Connection though [03:23] should that be ethtool -k enp0s31f6 [03:23] ? [03:24] Error: Connection activation failed: Active connection could not be attached to the device [03:30] Vashy: oh, yes! it should. I'm way past my bedtime, it's 04:23 here [03:31] Vashy: if that doesn't seem to improve matters (check the kernel log to see if it is still reporting "Detected Hardware Unit Hang:") I'm not sure what more to suggest [03:32] I have no idea what that means =) [03:32] but thank you for all the help so far [03:32] I hope you sleep well! I really appreciate it [03:32] I'll try the channel again tomorrow if it persists [03:33] Vashy: the kernel logs to /var/log/syslog and /var/log/kern.log - you can check or monitor those with commands like "tail -f /var/log/kern.log" then do some operations on the network device and see what is being reported [03:33] Vashy: the "-f" means 'follow' - it reports all new lines added to that log-file in real time [03:34] gotcha a live tail [03:34] I"ve used that before [03:34] yes [03:34] it looks verry much the same [03:34] Have you tried the simple things like powering the system completely off, even at the wall socket, and on again!? [03:34] to the syslog logs [03:35] so this happened yesterday [03:35] and nothing worked (I even called the ISP and restarted the modem etc) [03:35] eventually I tried restarting the machine and it worked [03:35] but I don't want to have to restart each time this happens, that's not sustainable [03:35] Because earlier we had a user with an Asus mobo that had built-in wifi/bluetooth and the BT device wasn't showing up on USB - and in the end I suggested disconnected and reconnecting the antennas... and that fixed it! [03:36] my mobo doesn't have wifi/bt built in iirc [03:36] built the desktop many years ago now [03:37] Vashy: I know some of the Intel devices can be a pain - there's one device that gets put to sleep on its receive side only, so it transmits... caused by the Windows driver on dual-boot systems putting the device into a sleep mode that the intel Linux driver can't init it from! [03:37] idk if that's my issue, I run only ubuntu [03:38] Vashy: another possibility is the motherboard sleep state control. Some devices have problems if the motherboard setup enables C1E sleep - so dDisabling Enhanced C1 (C1E) in the BIOS can help. [03:38] Vashy: if you don't dual-boot the Windows sleep issue won't be it. === htafdwes is now known as thafdwes [03:39] Vashy: anyhow I must get some sleep. good luck with it. [03:40] thanks so much again [03:40] I'll ask the room again tomorrow or this weekend if it happens after another restart === JanC_ is now known as JanC [03:45] After uprading I am having USB issues the port keeps disabling then renabling === JanC is now known as Guest80969 [03:49] ls [03:54] is anybody still here === semeion is now known as mnemonic === luna_ is now known as luna [04:01] marco === Dreaman is now known as BgLamersTeam [04:08] so whats up [05:12] How do I use read, but not do it by words?

[05:31] How can I tell logind (or is that policykit? or udisks?) to mount the stick to the local session instead? On Ubuntu 18.04, if it matters. [05:56] help if anyone know, i want to save .deb package which i am installing, seems like 18.04 is not saving it in /var/cache/apt/archives/ any idea with anyone ?

[06:18] alkisg, ok, thank you [06:18] Anyone have a idea, how to limit Firefox memory usage and stop locking a machine if it fills the RAM? [06:18] I close and open firefox multiple times a day but I think OS shouldn't be locked up because some app just decided to eat all RAM (And seconds before there were like 40% of RAM free) [06:19] you can set oom score [06:19] google "set oom score" or something for details, brb... [06:20] Yeah, maybe limiting it's RAM usage to the max allowed .. hmm [06:23] How about telling to app there is no more RAm for it and that's it? === anonymousK is now known as kundancool [06:25] nikolam: oom means "when out of ram, kill this app, don't touch the rest" [06:25] It's the best solution. Read e.g. https://askubuntu.com/questions/60672/how-do-i-use-oom-score-adj or google for a better tutorial [06:26] I.e. you'd create a /usr/local/bin/firefox script, that would exec /usr/bin/firefox with a higher oom score [06:30] buddhirt: looks like a new, buggy apt configuration: apt purge sl; apt clean; strace -fe trace=file apt install sl 2>&1 | tail; ls /var/cache/apt/archives/ [06:30] ==> unlink("/var/cache/apt/archives/sl_3.03-17build2_amd64.deb") = 0 [06:30] It deletes the downloaded .deb. Let's try to find out when did that break... [06:33] alkisg, https://pastebin.com/raw/TMCJQ2Zh [06:34] buddhirt: yeah I know, that's what I pasted too, it's proof that it automatically deletes the downloaded debs [06:34] alkisg, ooh ok === jstein_ is now known as jstein [06:46] morning alkisg :p [06:46] Hi lotus|NUC! :) [07:24] when i start the session with "gnome classic" it shows the extensions :) [07:49] i changed my lock screen background and i thought it didnt work, but it did. i was actually thinking about changing the background when i enter my password...how do you call that? === SysGh_st is now known as SysGhost [08:23] how can I figure out which kernels exist in which Ubuntu version?

[09:12] brainwash: Even with 777, I am getting the same error. [09:13] so since I have 2 swap partitions on 2 drives, Linux can overcommit .. a lot.. and that might be issue I have. [09:14] mojtaba: probably this then https://imagemagick.org/script/security-policy.php [09:14] because is Overcommint is off (echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory) , then Memory Allocation Limit = Swap Space + RAM * (Overcommit Ratio / 100) [09:15] brainwash: thanks, I will check it.

My problem is: I need x11vnc for it, the included remote desktop is not working well. [09:55] I can NOT use a newer version. I tried in the past, it has massive problems with this CPU. [09:56] I need to see the desktop of this Ubuntu machine on my openSUSE 13.1 in KDE. This is the goal. [10:00] I made best experiences with x11vnc on other distros. Is it also available for Ubuntu 8.04 32 Bit ? [10:04] pingufan: both Ubuntu 8.04 (2008.april version) & opensuse 13.1 are EOL both are off-topic here (ubuntu due EOL) & I doubt many would remember what we used back then [10:05] So I can forget it.

I can't believe we're at 18 and this is still pretty much the default behaviour.... It's also impressive that i've yet to learn to solve this myself [10:37] So... anyone got a few minutes over? :) [10:37] mist_: so your problem is you have too many old kernels? [10:37] looks like it yeah [10:37] mist_: "sudo apt autoremove" should clean that, provided there is *some* space [10:37] there is no space [10:38] mist_: can you try removing using dpkg? [10:40] mist_: eg "sudo dpkg --purge linux-image-4.15.0-34-generic" or whatever your old kernels might be [10:40] basically you only need to free up enough space to let apt work like normal. there is also the brute approach of simply rm'ing old stuff [10:42] Hello, where can I download a full iso of Ubuntu 8.04 32 Bit? [10:43] I need to add a few packaged to my CNC mill (running LinuxCNC on Realtime Version of this Ubuntu), but there is nothing directly downloadable any more. [10:48] Hi, I'm using Ubuntu 18.04. After updating through System Updates app, if I run "sudo apt update" in a console I see a list of upgradable packages. I have to use "sudo apt upgrade" to update them. [10:49] hateball: tried rm'ing some files, that didn't work =/ i keep on getting disk space error [10:49] and /boot is pretty much full again [10:49] It's a clean install [10:50] I didn't detect this behavior in 16.04. System Updates updated all packages, no manual "apt upgrade" was required [10:51] Dorayaki, the "gui" should update all packages [10:53] julius yes ... for example today, I launched the gui manually and saw some "metacity" and "gnome flashback" packages. After updating them I went to console and they showed in "apt --upgradable" list. I did a system reboot and still there. I had to use "apt upgrade" to update them [10:54] and you did install them via the gui after you looked at --upgradable? [10:54] oh, yes you did [10:54] julius no, first I updated the packages, then I checked the --upgradable list [10:55] sorry, cant help you. if nobody here answeres try the ubuntu forums [10:55] i have no idea why the gui app would not upgrade any packages [10:56] julius can't be that non-security updates are on hold a week by default? I didn't changed default settings. [10:56] julius sorry I mean "can be" [10:57] you can set the apt update intervall to one week i guess...but when you click on upgrade / install or how its called in the gui they should update immediately [10:57] julius ok, yes I think the same [10:57] thank you!

[11:17] i'm unable to run a liveusb on the vm, don't have that access [11:18] I got response in #ubuntu-server [11:18] shut down the VM, start a new VM with that image as a secondary drive [11:18] don't have access to the hypervisor is what i'm saying =) [11:19] mist_, Do you have access to the GUI and synaptic package manager? I assume you have too many old kernels. [11:19] no, it's a ubuntu server instance without a GUI [11:20] and yes, there are plenty of old kernels in there that i've attempted deleting but autoremove just puts them back [11:20] mist_: "some files" ? what did you even try to remove? [11:20] mist_, ok, youu are getting a disk space error... any chance you can pastebin or paste.ubuntu.com the command you are running and the output?

'uname -r' [11:21] 121 [11:21] 4.4.0-121-generic [11:21] oof, that's a little old. [11:21] mist_: did you try using dpkg to remove ? [11:22] hateball: using purge? yes =/ [11:23] mist_: do you have "purge-old-kernels" installed? [11:23] matter of fact, i do [11:23] the command, that is [11:32] mist_, Does "sudo apt-get purge linux-image-4.4.0-97-generic" work? Try it for the kernels you need to remove. [11:35] Howdy all [11:36] hi BluesKaj [11:38] hi EoflaOE [11:47] I have installed gnome-terminal on Lubuntu 18.04 LTS but I believe I did not see the Gnome Terminal entry. I can open LXTerminal to open Gnome Terminal, but I need it to be in the menu. Is there any way to place an entry to the LXDE menu so it can show Gnome Terminal? Menu editors? [11:58] EoflaOE: I would check if there is any NotShowIn or OnlyShowIn in the .desktop file /usr/share/applications/gnome-terminal.desktop [11:58] EoflaOE: if yes, you could copy that file over to ~/.local/share/applications/ and modify it [12:00] other than that, it may be listed with a generic name like Terminal Emulator [12:05] so i've tried running the purge-old-kernels command but it seems to not work completely, it did manage to remove some old ones [12:06] after running autremove --purge, update and purge-old-kernels a number of times in succession it seems i'm now at a good state... odd [12:07] EoflaOE: you should look into terminator. Such a better terminal emulator [12:22] Hello, when I boot my freshly installed ubuntu 18.04 on HP EliteBook Folio 9470m, I get a flashing message (very fast flash) and multiple reboots. But when I switch to boot options I can see Ubuntu and boot from there. Is there a way I can boot straight into Ubuntu without the boot options? [12:25] ArchNoob: that's the default. you won't see the grub menu unless you hold shift or last boot failed. [12:28] Aha, how can I just boot straight into ubuntu then? cause I only have Ubuntu on the PC [12:30] brainwash and leftyfb: I will try. [12:30] ArchNoob: well, like I said, booting straight, with no grub menu, is the default. Unless you changed /etc/defaul/grub, or your previous boot failed [12:35] blackflow: ooh I didn't understand. Well it doesn't do that. I see a flashing message then it keeps rebooting. This is after I have installed ubuntu. I've done that twice and it's still not booting straight to Ubuntu [12:36] Afte a good concentration, I see "System bootloader not found" ... [12:37] leftyfb: I will try terminator now... | brainwash: It's listed now. [12:37] ArchNoob: Which Ubuntu version do you have and is your system "UEFI"? [12:37] blackflow: "System bootloader not found Initiallizing defaults." [12:40] I have Ubuntu 18.04 64 bit, yes, this computer supports UEFI. [12:40] The computer is "HP Elitebook Folio 9470m" [12:43] Do you have spare 18.04 64-bit Live USB or CD-ROM that supports UEFI? [12:44] Yes, I have this USB stick that I used to install it. [12:45] Can you boot to it and go to "try Ubuntu?" [12:45] yeah I can [12:47] Go to terminal emulator, and pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l" with the marker of the affected hard disk partition [12:49] doing that ... [12:49] Hi guys, I have an error when updating: [12:49] W: GPG error: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise Release: The following signatures were invalid: 630239CC130E1A7FD81A27B140976EAF437D05B5 [12:49] E: The repository 'http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise Release' is not signed.

[12:50] n00d1es: A) next time, use pastebin. B) Ubuntu 12.04 is no longer supported. [12:50] And I tried so many "solutions" which found on the internet [12:50] the only solution would be to install ubuntu 16.04 or 18.04 [12:50] @ the mine is 18.04 [12:51] 18.04.1 LTS [12:51] 16.04 I wouldn't suggest.. support on that is wrapping up soon :/ [12:51] In the file sources.list, there is no line with the keyword precies... [12:52] maybe check in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ too [12:52] what does "apt policy" return? [12:53] sources.list.d is empty [12:53] n00d1es: Go to "Software & updates", and go to "Other Softwares". [12:54] https://pastebin.com/ebW45SZG [12:54] this is for the apt policy [12:55] no 'precise' either [12:55] EoflaOE: I pasted it on https://pastebin.com/hDvS3CS5 [12:57] @EoflaOE, in the Other software, I could not chose or un-choose the option. Coz I have only one account with admin right, but not the administrator account [12:57] ArchNoob: I saw your hard drive. Which one resides your installation? I know that /dev/sda1 is EFI system. [12:57] Hi! I'm trying to create a bootable flash drive with ubuntu on, but I don't want to use software like Rufus or similar to create it for me since these software always format and use the entire flash drive for this, but I only got a 128GB and it would be a waste to completely format it for an linpus live disc requiring only 2GB [12:59] audiopathik: multisystem can burn multiple iso's on 1 usb if you like [12:59] Doing researches it is perfectly possible to partition a flash drive and have multiple bootable partitions on it, but I tried copying the content of the ubuntu iso to a partition on my flash drive and it will show up in the microsoft boot manager as linpus linux but when selecting it Windows will ultimately boot nontheless [12:59] EoflaOE: /dev/sda2 is the / and /dev/sda3 is home, If I understand your question correctly. [12:59] n00d1es: Did you get prompted for password? or is the window gone entirely gray? [12:59] audiopathik: but use at your own risk, as its not on the ubuntu repos [13:00] ArchNoob: How about /dev/sda1's mount point? [13:00] lotus|NUC: I know about WinSetupfromUSB, Xboot and others, but they all don't allow me to select eg 4GB for Ubuntu and keep the rest as a data storage partition [13:01] lotus|NUC: And I'm trying to create the bootable flash drive from within Win10 [13:02] EoflaOE: I have no idea. I just initiated it as EFI filesystem. Not sure if I gave it a mount point [13:03] audiopathik: how about creating partitions with gparted first, then dd ubuntu iso to the smallest partition? [13:03] @EoflaOE, I tested with my admin right account. When I do not choose "non-free drivers / community-maintained", all goes well [13:04] lotus|NUC: I'm on Windows, have partitioned the flash drive manually and then copied the contents of the ubuntu iso onto the partition [13:05] audiopathik: drag n drop the iso wont work, you need a tool for that [13:05] @EoflaOE, For your, as a "long term user", is that important? [13:05] ArchNoob: I will assume /dev/sda1 is at /boot/efi. On the terminal, execute "sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt", and "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot/efi" and pastebin the results. [13:06] n00d1es: Modifying package sources requires admin rights. [13:06] lotus|NUC: Yes that's why it wont boot, but Rufus does simply format all the flash drive for this purpose, and I'm not going to waste 128GB for ubuntu requiring 2GB [13:07] I means, if I do not choose the option "non-free drivers / community-maintained / etc", is that fine? [13:07] mean* [13:08] n00d1es: As long as you don't use commercial drivers like some closed-source GPU drivers and community-maintained programs, then yes. [13:08] lotus|NUC: And I've copied the mounted the iso in windows and copied it's contents to the partition on the flash drive [13:09] audiopathik: how about you make an ubuntu usb first with universal usb installer, then after you installed ubuntu make those partitions with gparted and dd the iso's you want [13:09] @EoflaOE, Thanks very much. U r so kindly! [13:09] EoflaOE: I've executed that. There is no output on terminal. [13:10] Have a nice day. And good luck for others. [13:10] n00d1es: You are welcome. [13:11] ArchNoob: If there's no output on terminal, then it's successfully mounted. Can you list the contents of "/mnt" and "/mnt/boot/efi" and pastebin the output to verify that it worked? I will tell you what to run next. [13:11] lotus|NUC: I'm not going to install Ubuntu, I need to help someone repair a HFS+ drive, but creating the bootable ubuntu flash drive and resizing the artition afterwrds is what I will try [13:13] audiopathik: for windows tools and methods, perhaps try ##windows then [13:19] What is the purpose of .desktop files? [13:20] coconut: .desktop files is used for menus to list apps in desktop environments. Example of it being "gnome-terminal.desktop" means that it's a menu file for Gnome Terminal. [13:23] I have a very strange 18.04 GUI display issue. With a single monitor 2560x1440, after closing the lid last night and opening it just now, the GUI according to xrandr is now reporting the screen as 2560x3360and the position of the monitor at 0,1920 - meaning all the windows are off-screen (above) what is visible! [13:23] EoflaOE: ah that make sense. Thank you. Do desktop short cuts of apps fall under this too? [13:23] I've tried using xrandr --fb and --pos to fix this but always get 'failed' messages. Any ideas? [13:24] coconut: Yes. They fall under this too. [13:25] ok thank you [13:25] I'm working from tty1 to try to resolve it since there are open documents I don't want to loose in the GUI session [13:26] hi! not sure this is the right place to ask, but does any know if there is a setting for chrome which causes chrome not to update its tabs until you actually refresh the tab? [13:26] hello. [13:27] coconut: You're welcome. [13:27] so I envision an initial load of tabs and then no updates until I tell it [13:27] hello cpcat [13:27] memory leaks are killing my machine... [13:27] OK, fixed it. can't resize the virtual display from another tty - I had to blindly move the existing GUI terminal window with Alt+Space, M, then cursor-down until the terminal appeared on the visible area. Then "xrandr --output eDP-1 --fb 2560x1440" reconfigured it. [13:28] TJ-: xrandr doesn't work across ttys? [13:28] Tab suspend application works great except it replaces the pages with a message, which is totally inefficient since you cant see what was there [13:28] blackflow: not to set things since Xorg isn't in control of the CRTC at that point. It reports "xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed" - which makes perfect sense :) [13:29]
