[00:02] tomreyn: I am not sure which message above you are referring too, sorry, I should probably go to sleep… I rebooted the machine now though and it seems to be fine. [00:03] tharkun: see manual page sensible-editor(1) [00:03] gxt: you may want to "ls -l /usr/src /lib/modules /boot | pastebinit" to make sure everything's gone that should be. [00:04] gxt: headless server [00:04] tomreyn: The output of that was included in the last paste: http://sprunge.us/EdI7ik [00:05] tharkun: VISUAL is visual as in vim opposed to ed, not as in GUI. [00:05] tharkun: At least AFAIU. [00:05] gxt: ups, thanks for heads up [00:06] tomreyn: Also thanks. [00:06] tharkun: I might be wrong though, now that I think about it :P [00:06] gxt: oh sorry, i missed this. then i'm not sure why update-initramfs was still trying to generate modules for the 4.10.0-28 kernel... once you've rebooted i'd continue cleaning up (deborphan -an, deborphan -H, deborphan -Z, ubuntu-support-status --show-unsupported, maybe bleachbit, maybe https://github.com/tomreyn/scripts#foreign_packages ) [00:06] Get stuck at the dreaded purple boot screen of doom. If I boot without `quiet splash` in the grub config, I can see it gets stuck on the step "Starting Flush Journal to Persistent Storage". Any advice? [00:10] tharkun: No, I was right https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/4861 "Nowadays, you can leave EDITOR unset or set it to vi -e" [00:11] gxt: Thanks for your time looking it up. [00:12] "select-editor" [00:15] tomreyn: Thanks for the advice, but `deborphan -an | wc -l` => 408 …another day :P [00:15] How to fix "PKCS#7 signature not signed with a trusted key" kernel msg when booting? I was getting this before, so I removed nvidia drivers. That fixed it. I reinstalled them and I get it again? I already disabled Secure Boot [00:16] gxt: maybe start by omitting n. but another day will be fine. ;-) [00:16] tomreyn: I did, and it was still >100 :) [00:17] much work ahead of you ;) [00:17] My local mirror still doesn't see the new release yet, sigh :( [00:18] JustAPerson: i think this message is only printed when secureboot takes place. did you really disable it in the mainboard firmware configuration UI (what was formerly known as 'BIOS setup utility')? [00:18] tomreyn: Just so I understand, the packages listed by `deborphan -a` are completely unused, not just unrequired but optionally useful for some required ones? [00:19] tomreyn: Well I am off to sleep now, thank you for your patience and help! [00:20] gxt: those are packages which deborphan has guessed are not actually needed anymore. i don't know exactly how it guesses, and it doesn't always guess right. consider it a good hint, but you will still need to use at least the two main parts of your brains. [00:21] you're welcome, have a good night === Schnabeltierchen is now known as Schnabeltier === Tin__man is now known as Tin_man === Schnabeltier is now known as Schnabeltierchen [00:22] tomreyn: I entered the motherboard settings but I'm not sure I disabled the correct thing, as Gigabyte's settings is pretty badly explained. I tried using `mokutil --disable-validation` disable Secure Boot as well [00:33] JustAPerson: normally you'll have a page or section dedicated to secure boot there. but IIRC gigabytes' UEFI configuration GUIs for consumer boards just have a property keyword search, maybe that's what you have there. those are terrible. [00:40] Ubuntu 18.04 Trying to open /boot/grub/grub.d I have used gedit,vi,nano but none will open file in text mode === Skybot|2 is now known as OhPie [00:44] texla: does it exist? is it a file (not a directory)? [00:45] maybe you're looking for /etc/grub.d/ instead? [00:45] texla: ^^ ' ls -al /boot/grub/ ' - do you see grub.d listed ? [00:46] tomreyn, It opens a panel with the designation at the top [00:46] texla: what is "it"? [00:46] IIRC there was this top like utility that showed you what programs where munching away your battery and you could do something about it. Can someone slap me on the right direction? [00:47] tharkun: intel powertop [00:47] tomreyn: Thank [00:48] tomreyn, It is to be used to make changes to the grub.cfg file [00:49] are the virtual machines using the same vpn tunnel as the host? [00:49] texla: maybe you shoould more closely explain what you are trying to achieve and what pointed you to /boot/grub/grub.d [00:49] tomreyn: there's a "Security Option" which can be changed to either "Setup" or "System" and that appears to be the only thing. Unless SecureBoot is also related to Trusted Computing or fTPM [00:52] JustAPerson: not directly related to (firmware -based) 'trusted computing/platform module'. if you have no options dedicated to "secure boot" or "secureboot" then i guess it's either not uefi booting or there's no UI for disabling secureboot. === bhalithan1 is now known as bhalithan [00:53] eelstrebor: this wuastion lacks quite some context. [00:53] *question [00:54] tomreyn, I have two ubuntu iso loaded in the grub menu they both show up as Ubuntu 18.04 the other is budgie which is also listed as Ubuntu 18.04 I want to change the name of the one to bulgie The grub.d comes from ASK UBUNTU on the web [00:54] texla: can you point to the exact askubuntu.com page? [00:55] well the guests get their own ip but since they're using the same interface as the host, do the guests need to get their own vpn address? not sure if i'm making sense [01:00] texla: /etc/grub.d/10_linux is the partial template which is used when /boot/grub/grub.cfg is generated using update-grub / grub-mkconfig. There, the GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR variable is referred to to set the OS name. This variable is set in /etc/default/grub [01:01] eelstrebor: you are apparently working with some kind of virtualization. there are several virtualization techniques, and most of them don't work the same way. === daniel is now known as Guest77969 === [1]MrMobius is now known as MrMobius [01:20] tomreyn, I opened /etc/default/grub in both iso and they both read grub distributor= 'lsb release -l -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian === andyhuzhill_ is now known as andyhuzhill [01:52] Hi ppl. [01:52] I come with a question. I'm gonna resize a partition which is encrypted with LVM2. [01:52] I'm using Gparted for that purpose. [01:52] Sir_Andrei: lvm2 is the logical volume manager, version 2. it does not provide encryption. [01:53] Hmm, oka. [01:54] Well, It's a Lubuntu 18.04 installed on the entire disk. Encrypted. [01:54] full disk encryption with dmcrypt-luks then probably? [01:55] Idk, I used the option which comes with the installer. [01:55] Well, that's not the problem whatever. [01:55] I wanna know if it's safe to resize that partition (It's the computer of a friend of mine and he wanna install Win 7 on another partition). [01:55] the installer provides this for full disk encryption, and (used to provides) ecryptfs for home directory / file system encryption [01:57] it's always safe to work on anything when you have complete, proven restorable, efficient, remote (and maybe local, too) backups. [01:57] Well, in this case is not important lol, he uses the computer to play Dota2. [01:59] if no backups are needed, then there can be no data loss. if there can be no data loss, working with partitions is probably safe, as long as you planned it well. [01:59] Nice C: [02:00] so the goal is to resize a partition, i.e. rewrite the partiiton table. this can be done with gparted. however, gparted may not be able to handle full disk encryption nor lvm. [02:01] generally you need to resize the uppermost layer first, this is usually a file system, then the intermediary layers, one by one, working from top to bottom, until you end up at the partition table. [02:03] once you know exactly how those block device layers are stacked, make a plan and note down the commands to use to carry this out. [02:04] keep in mind that every layer usually requires some storage by itself, so inner / upper layers need to be smaller than outer / lower layers [02:04] the outmost layer is the actual storage, which usually a partition table will reside on. === andyhuzhill_ is now known as andyhuzhill [02:09] Oki [02:09] according to https://gparted.org/features.php gparted can actually shrink (dmcrypt-)luks containers and lvm2 physical volumes (but maybe not logical volumes?). so maybe you just need to shrink the file system and LVM2 logical volume (LV) manually (unless there is unpartitioned space on that physical volume anyways). [02:09] ...and the rest can be done by gparted [02:15] Desktop just froze. I can move cursor around but nothing else. Click on stuff has no effect, and nothing on the screen (like clock) is updating (except for cursor moving around, oddly it will event change icons depending what I move cursor over). I can't Ctrl+Alt+F1 to switch TTYs. This happened 10 minutes ago and only thing that worked was Alt+SysReq+{REISUB} [02:18] Since this has happened twice (both just a few minutes after booting) how do I debug this? [02:23] JustAPerson: check dmesg, syslog [02:24] I've got a friend here using Ubuntu. Every time they run the update manager and tell it to install the available updates, it crashes. Any idea how to fix it? [02:24] JustAPerson: also ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.*.log if it's >= ubuntu 17.10 or /var/log/Xorg.*.log if it's 16.10 or lower. [02:25] Updating via the command line works, but they'd rather do it via the GUI. I mean, that's one of the advantages of Ubuntu. [02:25] Alexand{er|ra}: no, but run it from a temrinal to get a better idea of what's wrong. [02:26] any warnings or errors with these? sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -f install; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [02:27] you can simulate the latter by adding -s, thus not breaking the situation which causes the GUI to fail. [02:27] tomreyn: I tried that already, if you mean running "update-manager" on the command line. It crashes in the same spot, but leaves no error messages when it does. [02:27] Alexand{er|ra}: no, i mean using apt or apt-get [02:28] Apt-get works without error. [02:28] also without warning? [02:28] (running update-manager from CLI was a good idea, too.) [02:29] THey said there's no warnings when they do that as well. [02:30] It looks like it only started happening after they updated from Ubuntu 14.04 to 18.04. Maybe it's an upgrade error? [02:30] did they upgrade from 14.04 to 18.04 in a single step? [02:31] did they use the release upgrader? [02:32] did they have ppa's enabled or PPA sourced packages installed prior to the upgrade? [02:32] Yeah, it looks like that's what happened. They were given the option to upgrade by their GUI, and they upgraded using that directly from 14.04 to 18.04 on two machines, but only one machine is having the error now. [02:33] i'm not sure whether a single step upgrade form 14.04 to 18.04 is possible. if it's offered then i guess it's possible. [02:33] Sorry, trying to ask, but they started talking to someone that just came in. It might take a bit to see if they have any PPAs installed. [02:34] (At a LUG right now, ha ha.) [02:34] tomreyn: No, they don't have any PPAs or other alternate sources added. [02:34] /var/log/upgrade/ contains information on how the ubuntu upgrade worked out, and /var/log/apt/term.log contains the latest actions apt carried out and their results. [02:35] they should probably be asking themselves, support by proxy is no fun... [02:35] that's not against you, rather to save you. ;) [02:37] normally, when an application fails on ubuntu, a window will pop up offering to report a bug. doing so may provide a workaround, and more information on what actually happened. these staged crash reports also go into /var/crash/ [02:38] what kernel would a 2014 ubuntu system be using ? [02:38] Yeah, I know it's no fun, but I don't think they use IRC. [02:38] long-term release [02:38] orbisvicis: depends on the ubuntu release, and whether HWE is in use [02:39] tomreyn: "/var/log/upgrade/" doesn't seem to exist. "tail /var/log/apt/term.log" shows no errors after the updater crashes. [02:40] Alexand{er|ra}: maybe they could start doing so. installing an irc client is quick, and there is also https://webchat.freenode.net but also http://askubuntu.com [02:40] Alexand{er|ra}: maybe it's /var/log/dist-upgrade or similar, take a look at the subdirectories in /var/log [02:46] tomreyn: I don't know the release, but it was an LTE without HWE last updated between 2010-2014 [02:53] orbisvicis: ubuntu 14.04 LTS is the oldest which still has support. it comes with linux 3.13.0.160.170 by default. with HWE, it can have 4.4.0.137.117 [02:53] !14.04 [02:53] Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) was the 20th release of Ubuntu.

They're not sure what they did, but the updater is now working perfectly. [03:17] everytime I use the ubuntu app updater, auto update, I lose all my desktop settings.. any way around this? [03:18] Is there a apt search option to narrow it down to specific package names instead of packages that have mentioned in passing the search string you are looking for in a readme somwhere? [03:18] im assuming it's a kernel update. [03:18] using 18.04 [03:19] salamanderrake: --names-only [03:20] salamanderrake: also keep in mind that the search term is a regular expression. [03:21] learning regex is necessary. [03:22] not if it's an alphanumeric search term only, optionally with hyphons, too. [03:22] correct, however, opens options. [03:22] [03:22] yeah, was never good at regular expression [03:22] Alexand{er|ra}: :) whatever, thanks for the feedback. [03:24] Regular expression, the modern day equilivent of shaking a cup full of bones and tossing them to the ground looking for your aunties lost locket. [03:24] lol [03:24] best of luck there. ;P [03:25] apt search c++ | grep libc++ | wc -l == 8 [03:25] apt search --names-only "libc++" | wc -l == 5060 [03:28] Hi all.. the other day my gdm just stopped working. My laptop wouldn't wake from sleep, hard booted, boots fine, but just hangs. I have to alt+f2, login, startx. 18.04, I updated & dist-upgrade. See screenshot: https://www.dropbox.com/s/rancixjbihounvy/2018-10-16%2011.52.14.jpg?dl=0 - Any ideas? [03:33] hi all, any ideas why my `sudo apt-get install openfortivpn` shows 'unable to locate package openfortivpn'? https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/openfortivpn shows bionic has that as a default right? [03:33] salamanderrake: apt search --names-only 'libc\+\+' [03:34] Do you guys know any tool that is good to use for note taking like domain -> ip addres? [03:34] I mean when you're working with different domains, you want something that you can refer to for searching domain -> ip address mapping. Any tool good to use for it? [03:35] /dns works [03:35] thank you tomreyn [03:35] nomoney4u: openfortivpn is in the universe repo . Enabled ? [03:37] oh! Bashing-om thanks :) [04:04] yo yo yo [04:04] jk [04:04] anyone have much luck with the Calendar app and Fastmail? [04:05] running ubuntu 18.04, for some reason i can't get it to sync [04:05] it keeps appending :443/ at the end which might be breaking it [04:07] hey I have done the whole install along side windows 10 and maybe I created a efi partition before so time ago but my memory is very spotty. Also I thought if I changed uefi to legacy this is not needed but now windows 10 will not boot nor will grub find its bootloader [04:08] ubuntu works ok on this tablet but windows 10 is still installed but I cannot boot from it [04:09] bios/uefi is in legacy mode does that cause windows 10 not to boot?

[04:24] do you normally leave it in uefi mode ( non legacy ) then install grub to efi partition? I cant remember how that worked [04:24] think thats how it was [04:25] are you looking for a fresh install? [04:25] no [04:25] well then take it out of legacy and restart [04:25] k [04:26] The tutorial Had To be modified Viz. debootstrap Version And Then Kernel, \Header\Image\Module But That is Basic Stuff And Nothing Should Deny ssh [04:27] Alion: wiki is 2011 and mentions it can break your system [04:28] Alion: you sure ssh is still running?

[05:07] pragomer: I probably have the same issue as you on my laptop. I tried googling it and the best solution was to increase the font scale to 1.2 [05:07] yes, I know.. thats how I did it, too. Scaling the fonts.. [05:07] when I tried scaling to 150% with xrandr the desktop became fuzzy [05:08] but its a pity because, for example, the window borders and button stay too tiny, etc.. [05:08] I know :/ [05:08] I know it works fine with 150% with wayland session [05:08] but dont know how fine wayland will work with my programs. maybe I just have to check that out... [05:09] in wayland it is called "fractal scaling" or so... [05:09] ah [05:09] I'll have to try that too [05:30] Hi. I'm trying to get bind9 working on an ubuntu server, but systemctl status bind9 is showing that it has failed. I have generated a new VM and attempted to run it out of the box with no change other than uncommmenting the forwarders and replacing the 0.0.0.0 with 8.8.8.8 [05:30] So recently I was able to plug in my headphones to my Ubuntu 18.04 laptop, but now I am not getting any sound. I think it may because I did a apt install of "mono-complete", "xdotool" and "libappindicator3-0.1-cil-dev". I have purged all of these, and it still will not allow me to hear what is going on in my headphones. I am also using ubuntu-unity-desktop instead of the 18.04 default desktop as well. [05:45] never mind I found it [05:46] is there a way to get athe App icon to the start of the Ubuntu dock on Ubuntu 18.04 [05:54] kedarapte, what do you mean? [05:56] i think he means moving the activities button from top to bottom [05:56] this is possible in gnome-tweak-tool I think [05:58] yes [05:58] gnome tweak tool I could not find the setting [06:00] Hi I have some "ureportable" bug rpeort popping up in the rpevious weeks, about segmentation fault in package libwebkit2gtk [06:00] It popos up in GUI as internal ubuntu errorto report, and I used to report it several times (by automatic submitting) [06:01] But is says: "You have some obsolete package versions installed.." uunder UnreportableReason [06:01] packages libblkid1, libmount1, libsmartcols1, uuid-runtime and system is regularly updated.. [06:02] how can I scale qt-apps (like virtualox) under gnome hidpi? I can increase font size in tweak-tool but this does not affect qt-apps [06:02] it's about WebKitWebProcess , crashing with segmentation fault [06:03] So even I am reportig it automatically, since there is unreportable state and I AM updated, what elese could I do? [06:04] It is 18.04 LTS [06:05] so I was here from a livedisk earlier and cannot get ubuntu to boot unless I installed in legacy bios mode instead efi [06:05] pragomer, maybe it's like Kubuntu people do it? Maybe ask them specifically for QT/KDE apps? [06:05] I'm not sure if someone answered my question regarding getting my headphones to work or not. [06:05] Could someone help me with the headphone jack question please? [06:06] its acer switch 12 with a damn efi bios [06:06] nooodlesnode, maybe you can report a bug report, stating your hardware and firmware versions or report it also to your hardware/motherboard manufacturer and Ubuntu and see if you have updated MoBo firmware [06:07] I tried reenabling secure boot and even tried installing grub to the efi partition and selecting the trusted .efi file in the bios and now only windows will boot [06:10] Goop: run 'alsamixer' in terminal ans see it is jack port mute [06:12] this secure boot shit is fucking bullshit [06:13] Goop: normally plug in headphones [06:14] My machine (Ubuntu 18.04) is automatically started by the BIOS and shutdown by cron with 'shutdown -h now' every day. Now randomly (once a week?) the machine is not halted but rebooted, and I have no idea where to even look for clues. [06:14] I tried 'shutdown -h now' from the command line several (20?) times, and it always halted. [06:15] maybe I have to created a /boot partition as well [06:15] ledeni, I have actually created a more detailed explanation at https://askubuntu.com/questions/1085117/18-04-headphone-jack-no-sound-after-installing-remotemouse if you would consider looking at it please. [06:20] ledeni, so I have looked at that thing, and I didn't notice that I needed to pick a sound card. === nikolam_ is now known as nikolam [06:21] Goop: plug in headphones;run alsamixer; select f5 --(to see all ) [06:26] ledeni, so I do see one where it is "speaker" then there is a "mute mute". [06:26] How do I fix this? [06:29] Actually, it looks like it just mutes the speaker when I plug it in, which is pretty reasonable. [06:29] ledeni, when I look at the "headphone" when it's plugged in, it shows "dB gain: 0.00, 0.00" [06:30] Goop: easy with <> navigate to headphones and +- increase or decrease volume of headphones [06:31] Goop: all in alsamixer [06:32] ledeni, still nothing. [06:36] Goop: do you have option headphone or not [06:37] ledeni, it's like the computer is pushing sound to the headphones, and it thinks it's pushing, but it's not actually pushing to sound to my headphones. [06:37] These earbuds work, and this headphone jack worked earlier today before I installed mono-complete. [06:39] Goop: did you check headphons [06:40] ledeni, what do you mean? [06:41] Goop: did you check headphones like plug else where [06:42] ledeni, oh yes. It works with my phone. [06:43] Goop: ok [06:44] ledeni, what is the "OO" and "MM" underneath the bar graphs in the alsamixer? Whenever I try to adjust all the settings to match the speaker's settings when the jack is unplugged, it keeps all the settings except for the "OO" and "MM". [06:46] ledeni, did you look at my askubuntu question? [06:47] Goop: 00 0 left 0 right mm max left max right [06:47] Goop: yes [06:48] Sorry, I just had internet issues. I didn't get anything past 23:46:22 [06:49] Did you say anything other than "Goop: 00 0 left 0 right mm max left max right" and "Goop: yes"? [06:49] Goop: no [06:50] What am I supposed to do with those numbers and stuff that you sent? [06:51] hi guys [06:51] Goop: that is just explanation of your q [06:51] how do you install libpng12.so.0 [06:51] ? [06:52] ypatra, sounds like you're trying to get a piece of software to work. If so, it would help if you gave us what you're trying to run that needs it. [06:53] i just downloaded champion of regnum [06:53] it run on linux too [06:53] when i run rolaunch it said missing file of libpng12.so.0 [06:53] Goop: in term 'cat /var/log/apt/history.log | nc termbin.com 9999' [06:59] ledeni, http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/zMb2BJxT5x/ [07:06] Goop: when you run pavucontrol can you see it is headphone plug in or not [07:06] what's the "new" / alternative method to use nautilus as root? with gksu gone [07:08] ledeni, I can see it plug in. [07:09] Sterist, it will break a few things here and there (like opening the trash), but use sudo nautilus [07:10] If you want to be able to close the terminal and keep nautilus open, use: "sudo nautilus &" next command: "disown %1" [07:10] I just want to switch around a few files in localhost [07:11] Sterist, Um..... That is not specific at all. localhost is a networking term. One does not simply "switch around a few files" in an ip address. [07:11] Goop: sudo GUI things isnt the best idea [07:12] localhost is a server hosted locally, I need to switch files on the local server. [07:12] at /var/www/ [07:12] lotus|NUC, there have been times where I've wanted to use nautilus in sudo. Hence, I said it would break a few things. [07:12] Goop: 'sudo alsa force-reload' [07:12] Sterist, okay now we're getting somewhere. You would like to switch around files with an Apache webserver, I am guessing. [07:13] ledeni, still nothing. [07:14] ledeni, maybe I'll try a reboot. [07:14] hi. I just accepted to upgrade to 18.10 from the software and update prompt dailog. But nothing is happening ?? [07:15] solsTiCe, the graphicals on Ubuntu are typically more buggy than doing things through terminal. [07:15] Goop: need to reboot [07:15] solsTiCe, I would suggest doing a "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" in terminal. [07:16] it fix now [07:16] :) [07:17] any one know mmorpg 2018 for ubuntu [07:17] ? [07:17] ledeni, still nothing. [07:19] Goop: ok can you 'sudo apt remove --purge alsa-base pulseaudio' and 'sudo apt install alsa-base pulseaudio' reboot [07:20] Goop: do-release-upgrade notified me I needed to upgraded all package first. There was one package to update [07:23] solsTiCe, sorry it's a pure guess now. Can you just upgrade/update all the packages you need? [07:24] Goop: yes. it's done. the upgrade has began. I run do-release-upgrade after `sudo apt update && sudo apt full-update` [07:25] solsTiCe: do you have any ppas active? [07:26] yes. they have been disabled by the upgrade tool. why ? [07:26] solsTiCe: if so, we usually recommend purging them before you upgrade to avoid problems (disabling them is not enough) [07:27] hello [07:27] welcome jluc [07:27] is there a way to read aa files on ubuntu ? [07:27] solsTiCe: they can cause dependency conflicts [07:28] too late. I am not gonna do that now the upgrade is launched [07:28] jluc: try mplayer [07:29] solsTiCe: then now is a good time to read the release notes :) [07:32] ledeni, still nothing. [07:32] ledeni, still nothing. [07:32] Internet issues, sorry if I missed anything! [07:33] Goop sorry out of ideas [07:36] when will we be able to upgrade to ubuntu 18.10 from 18.04? [07:36] Shibe: 18.10 is out [07:36] lotus|NUC: how can i upgrade? [07:37] Shibe: is your current system up to date? [07:37] lotus|NUC: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [07:37] when i call apt upgrade [07:38] Shibe: do-release-upgrade [07:38] Checking for a new Ubuntu release [07:38] No new release found. [07:38] do i need to remove some ppas? [07:39] Shibe: we advice so yes [07:41] Shibe: did you sudo apt update also? [07:42] Shibe: doublecheck if you have 'check for new versions' enabled in your software&sources too [07:43] Shibe: i presume you are upgrading from LTS, to non-lts [07:43] lotus|NUC: yes [07:43] Shibe: your settings (could) set only check for LTS versions for example [07:44] Hi Gurus, I had to bare metal re-install Ubuntu on my PC (so I went with Ubuntu 18.10)... I overwrote the previous OS installation, but didn't touch the mdadm disks I had in there. I can't seem to mount the mdadm raid any more. Keeps coming back like it doesn't have a filesystem on there. [07:44] Shibe: don't just remove them, purge them [07:44] !ppa-purge | Shibe [07:44] Shibe: 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 [07:44] looking at /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf it seems to have rebuilt the array [07:46] Previous installation was Ubuntu 18.04 [07:48] lotus|NUC: it seems to be upgrading now that i purged fingerprint-gui [07:48] !cookie | ducasse [07:48] ducasse: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [07:50] Hi there, I'm just wondering if anyone has any advice on getting an Ubuntu install off a netinstall/minimal iso using an unattended preseed config. I can't seem to get it to work using a /cdrom path at all, and from googling around, others seem to have faced the same issue. [07:51] The alternative I've seen is that instead of just remastering the iso to include a preseed.cfg file, to also append the preseed.cfg to initrd and then remaster. [07:51] livepatch is not gonna work on 18.10. only LTS. so I can uninstall it after all ? [07:54] solsTiCe: you want to purge livepatch? [07:54] fresh installed Ubuntu and sublime getting these error [07:54] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/GMRXxHRQMt/ [07:55] lotus|NUC: yes. remove the snap. it's gonna be usefull if it only works for LTS like 18.04 [07:55] solsTiCe: the users choice to enable or disable livepatch [07:56] thanks lotus|NUC and ducasse, seems to be going smoothly now [07:56] !yay | Shibe [07:56] Shibe: Glad you made it! :-) [07:57] it's NOT gonna be usefull on 18.10 if it only works on LTS like 18.04, right ? [07:57] why are you guys so afraid to remove junk ? is that that by ignorance ? [07:58] that it breaks something ? [08:02] solsTiCe: we never said you cant remove.. [08:02] solsTiCe: its your system, do what you like [08:02] again. you see the FUD here. as if I am gonna broke something by removing it [08:03] it's like a patch on a wooden leg. It's gonna do anyhting usefull [08:03] solsTiCe: you're not likely to break anything, no [08:05] I wonder if it was really usefull any way, because I was ask to reboot as often as before [08:05] was it even working ? [08:06] solsTiCe: come discuss it at #ubuntu-discuss [08:06] ledeni, good news, I solved and answered my own question! [08:06] https://askubuntu.com/questions/1085117/18-04-headphone-jack-no-sound-after-installing-remotemouse/1085162#1085162 [08:06] Good night! [08:22] seriously, muon updater needs to show the old AND new version [08:23] i can't properly use thunderbird now, since 2/3 of my addons stopped working [08:24] TomyWork: are you talking about thunderbird from apt vs the snap version? [08:25] would snaps show up in muon updater? [08:25] TomyWork: well i dont use muon, but before you download a package, it should show you the version no? [08:26] the new version, yes [08:26] not the old one [08:26] if i see i'm updating from 5x to 60, i know what's going on [08:26] TomyWork: lets start from the start, wich (k-ubuntu version are you on? [08:26] 14.04 [08:27] !info thunderbird trusty [08:27] thunderbird (source: thunderbird): Email, RSS and newsgroup client with integrated spam filter. In component main, is optional. Version 1:60.2.1+build1-0ubuntu0.14.04.2 (trusty), package size 41501 kB, installed size 164662 kB [08:27] is this the version you have TomyWork [08:27] sounds about right [08:28] TomyWork: and you didnt add thunderbird ppa's or anything right? [08:29] /var/log/apt/history.log shows thunderbird:amd64 (52.9.1+build3-0ubuntu0.14.04.1, 60.2.1+build1-0ubuntu0.14.04.2) [08:29] for yesterday evening [08:30] TomyWork: ok good mate, i dont see relevant bugs existing yet, could you create one please? === Butterfly^ is now known as Guest54563 [08:30] against muon updater or against thunderbird? [08:31] TomyWork: ubuntu-bug thunderbird [08:31] TomyWork: in the description, add your personal story, wich addons arent working anymore etc [08:31] this isn't really a bug. upstream removed some (likely deprecated) APIs and they won't add them back [08:32] and adding them back in a patch is probably not feasible [08:32] so I don't see what good opening a bug would do [08:32] TomyWork: tell us more about those addons/api's? [08:33] i don't know [08:33] probably analogous to what happened in firefox 60 [08:34] TomyWork: well i dont know wich addons you talking about, but 'if' they are externally maintained, you could ask the proper maintainer? [08:35] yeah, looks like thunderbird is now using quantum as well: "CHANGED Thunderbird now uses the latest Rust-based Mozilla technology, including Quantum's CSS engine (based on Servo) and encoding_rs, for displaying and encoding messages" [08:37] lotus|NUC i dont know why you are asking me questions about thunderbird tbh. I think muon updater should show the old and new version because, frankly, I don't know all the package versions in my system and I'd like to be alerted of a major version bump before I install it [08:37] TomyWork: when updates are available, ubuntu updates them.. [08:37] no it doesn't [08:38] when I click update, it installs the selected updates. [08:38] big difference. this isn't windows 10. [08:39] TomyWork: its not safe to keep using older packages in ubuntu [08:39] TomyWork: so when a new version is available==> update [08:40] i am aware, but given the choice between being safe and hitting a deadline... [08:40] dealine? [08:40] yes, some people have deadlines [08:41] fortunately, I don't have any right now, so I can work on fixing the issues caused by the major version update. but you see the source of my hesitation? [08:41] TomyWork: its not ubuntu's fault users have a dealine right? [08:42] it's called a deadline. aka. a time when a certain task has to be finished [08:42] meeting a deadline is usually more important than installing a system update. [08:51] Any idea why the following doesn't work? [08:51] sudo rustup completions bash > /etc/bash_completion.d/rustup.bash-completion [08:51] bash: /etc/bash_completion.d/rustup.bash-completion: Permission denied [08:52] Hamilton the redirection is not part of the sudo [08:52] the > [08:53] So what can I do? [08:54] sudo -i [08:54]
