[00:00] oh I see that was discussed already. [00:35] hi everyone. So I got Lubuntu 18.10 with my nVidia GTX 1050 rollin'. I'm a gamer, and I love video resolutions. My problem is I don't understand how to configure my X11/xorg/nvidia graphics to automatically detect various resolutions with my laptop display. Can anyone help? [00:36] Right now I'm at 1920x1080 resolution. I want to be able to switch to 800x600 [00:44] holy cow I did it! [00:45] cvt 800 600 60; xrandr --newmode "800x600_60.00" 38.25 800 832 912 1024 600 603 607 624 -hsync +vsync ; xrandr --addmode eDP-1-1 800x600_60.00; xrandr --output eDP-1-1 --mode 800x600_60.00 #now I'm at 800x600 baby yeeaaaah [00:56] lovely (not) Chrome has frozen twice in the last 2 days. 1. on 40 tabs, mostly opened from photos. Actually Ubuntu froze completely. 2. Today just now Chrome froze and Ubuntu reported an internal problem". I DID sent the report. Then I have been advised to reboot. I wont, just to see what happens. --- To Whom It May Concern. [00:56] 18.04 pretty vanilla. [00:58] Also if it matters, I am connected ethernet and was disconneced in this IRC for 7 minutes 12 mins ago. [00:58] Hi, i've noticed that cheese application and other gstreamer based apps stoped working in ubuntu 18.04. Upgrading to ubuntu 18.10 did not fix the problem... anyone with same problem? [00:59] * oft_gegong shrugs [01:12] hi [01:42] I updated from 16.04 to 18.04 and my display manager will not let me login from physical connection. I can still login using VNC and see my desktop. The desktop I'm using is XFCE on Ubuntu Server. I have replaced gdm3 with LightDM and after entering the correct password, it just loops. Any ideas how to fix this?

[02:15] Bashing-om: Yes, I had it plugged into a 23" display and it is no longer working, so I have it plugged into a 55" display now. [02:16] cliffm: think'n ... gimme a bit :) [02:16] Bashing-om: Ok [02:22] cliffm: I do not know yet the source of the issue . But, we can try resetting the display to default ?? see what other info we can gather ? [02:29] Bashing-om: What is the downside to resetting the display? [02:34] cliffm: I honestly do not know - I have never changed the display on a running system before. I do not know if the default will look for that original display ? [02:37] Hi. This is maybe partly off-topic but: I am looking for someone who can tell me how a blind person would use a website on Ubuntu. I'm working on a software project which has accessibility as a requirement, and I'm trying to get an idea how it works for the user.

I was wondering if someone can help me debug converting an .rpm package into .deb using alien? I'm trying to install Maya 2017 onto Ubuntu 18.04 and I keep running into chmod: invalid option errors.

[04:29] or is it just something I have to individually search up? [04:30] e.g. I see there's a hidden directory: ".nv" with a bunch of sub dirs that are just some crypto hashes with data files in them [04:30] idk if it's safe to delete or not [04:30] I see two directories in there named: "ComputeCache" and "GLCache" [04:30] I'm guessing it's an nvidia thing [04:30] since I have an nvidia gfx card [04:32] Vashy: there are some "standard" folders but generally you can just google them - right, .nv is some nvidia cache. [04:32] no reason to del [04:33] so I'm trying to use git to track my home directory and just did "git init" but there are a ton of hidden files/directories in the home directory that I know nothing about [04:33] there must be a better way to organize all this [04:33] I've been using ubuntu for almost 2 years now but I'm still pretty noobish [04:50] Can I put an ubuntu USB installer on half a thumb drive or does it strictly have to take the whole thing? [04:52] partition shouldnt be an issue as long as its bootable [04:52] What would you use to do that? When I use the startup cd creator it wants to take the whole thing and doesn't give me options. [04:52] IIRC unetbootin isn't a thing anymore [04:55] theres dozens out there if you want gui [04:55] aidrocsid: multisystem can drag n drop multiple iso's on an usb stick [04:56] ty [04:57] aidrocsid: just keep in mind its not officially supported [04:57] Cool [04:59] aidrocsid: another way could be create your usb stick full with ubuntu, and just use the space left on for other data [04:59] aidrocsid: or, after you installed ubuntu just wipe your install stick and use it full for data [04:59] Not a bad idea, already got a win10 installer on half of it though [05:00] aidrocsid: after you installed ubuntu, you will quick forget about windows :p [05:00] I've been running Ubuntu exclusively since like july or something [05:00] Mushkin is having a hard time sending me a working replacement SSD lol [05:00] cool, welcome to the ubuntu community aidrocsid [05:01] Heh, thanks. I've missed windows much less than in th past now that Proton is a thing and so many games run natively [05:02] aidrocsid: see also: steam,wine,playonlinux and the #gamingonlinux channel [05:02] I have a VPS with ubuntu too [05:03] aidrocsid: there's alot of virtual gaming cloud services on any device too these days rising [05:03] aidrocsid: feel free to join #ubuntu-discuss so we leave the channel free for support [05:03] aidrocsid, checkout Lutris as well #lutris [05:07] tomreyn: I managed to login GUI on mate desktop but have some problems, when i click the liferea icon it logs me out, the greeter resolution is taking my 4k TV as i have the monitor and tv connected to my AGP [05:07] tomreyn: How can i change my greeter resolution lightdm?

I don't want a cache of any risque pictures saved =) [05:17] Vashy: i cleanout system with bleachbit always [05:17] hmm seems sketch, reminds me of that oldschool thing ccleaner [05:18] is there a way to tell the OS to just not store a cache?

[06:06] Vashy: depends on what you mean by undo [06:06] https://imgur.com/a/jIYmeEr [06:08] I don't want everything to be encrypted I guess [06:08] it's been more of a headache than I realized [06:09] just mount a different partition as home and copy your home directory contents into it [06:10] I'm not sure what that means :x [06:35] If I want to look at login failures for the UI, which log should I be looking at?

[07:29] ducasse: i think i missed the urxvt font configuration, is it in .XResources ? [07:29] banyantree: yep [07:30] banyantree: iirc, you configure a primary font and set the powerline font as secondary. been a while since i messed with this. [07:31] ducasse: thx ill try to set the font in there [07:32] banyantree: put them on the same line, separated by a comma. fairly sure that should work. [07:34] ducasse: ah, this is how it works, i wondered why there are more than one font set [07:35] banyantree: the feature is there to support several character sets [07:41] ducasse: big thx dude - its working fine =D [07:43] banyantree: great, yw :) [08:17] How to make apt use a different mirror?

[11:20] TheWild: yes pavucontrol [11:21] ok, installing and testing === SimonNL_Afk is now known as SimonNL [11:22] works! And it seems to be exactly the same menu I had in Unity DE. How odd I had to install pavucontrol. [11:22] thanks ledeni and ducasse [11:23] TheWild you're welcome [11:23] btw, it was in the tutorial but I just didn't read carefully [11:23] I'm becoming a "tl;dr" person [11:24] Hi folks [11:39] that's really weird stuff happening. When I run audacity before pavucontrol, I still have this problem, but when I run pavucontrol first, then audacity, everything just works. [11:40] btw, I just found out parec. Yikes, it captures audio samples, raw as beef and sends them to standard output, or to file if specified. [12:03] hi guys, How do I install .debian.tar.xz file? [12:05] medard, unpack it, and read the read.me in that archive [12:06] Hi Guys, I'd like to use polybar with Font Awesome - but no Icons are displayed.

It is getting intalled but when I click on + sign it shows me free node but does not show me Add button [12:40] Ok, so I've just updatedo to the latest version of 18-04 [12:41] Inside a window or the browser, I can scroll my mouse wheel down and the window pans down [12:42] however, to control the volume, I must scroll the wheel UP to LOWER the volume down [12:42] I mean, are Ubuntu programmers snorting cocaine or smth? [12:42] what's that all about? [12:43] sounds like bad setup [12:43] did you set the mouse well? [12:43] did you snort? [12:46] the ups and downs of upgrading to another release, I experienced similar symptoms before, that’s why I prefer a clear install [12:47] yeah but down is up now so if he did things the right way it will come as the wrong way [12:49] if i scroll up, the volume goes up, 18.04.1 [12:49] so, again: did you snort something? [12:50] OerHeks, relax, we clearly know ubuntu devs dont snort cocaine, those are the fedora guys [12:53] according to 4chan, fedora wearing guys snort only pulverized tears of their foes [12:55] If you have 100 servers, what's the recommended way to apt update and dist-upgrade them without wasting all month doing so one-by-one?

[13:43] hey, I'm just curious as I have sadly been on Windows for a year for software reasons. what version of gnome is 18.10 is it using and what display server is it using? [13:44] if not x11 im gonna have some work to do :/ [13:44] for a moment I was tempted to activate my browser and research it for you. :P [13:45] I'll fire up a live session, I'll need it later anyway [13:46] a friend of mine 100% linux noob is thinking of dealing their encoding rig to linux for the drastically less overhead but if it's on Wayland or Mir it's gonna be a bit of work to set everything up for them [13:47] would explain the extreme slowness in OBS they were expirencing [13:48] jamie12, X11 is still default...wayland is an option [13:48] jamie12, video encoding? like avconv? [13:48] okay, that leaves OBS itself, which I can work with [13:49] probably gonna need to compile it from scratch and do ffmpeg [13:49] ffmpeg still works fine [13:50] it's avconv nowadays. and I read it supports render farms, so you don't need to burden the render rig with any GUI at all. [13:50] I figured that, but stock OBS from the apt-get is always doodoo [13:51] need a gui though for obs [13:51] maybe you can find a PPA [13:51] can't OBS use a remote avconv server? [13:51] actually yes, now that I think about it [13:54] my live session says [gnome] Version = 1:3.22+9 State = not installed [gnome-core] Version = 1:3.22+9 State = not installed [13:55] @Sven_B what is the performance consumption for avconv remote on a PC? [13:55] ah, it's [gnome-shell] [13:55] Version = 3.28.3-0ubuntu0.18.04.2 [13:55] State = installed (3.28.2-0ubuntu0.18.04.1) [13:55] jamie12, I don't understand the question. [13:57] but which version, gnome gnome or gnome metacity [13:57] Asad2005: i can, once you've posted it, not before ;) [13:58] Asad2005: please also sum up the issue again, my memory is short-lived [13:58] and Sven_B running the remote avconv is it resource intensive or very light weight? [13:59] jamie12, I never checked. I just assume and hope that the cost of avconv is negligible compared to the codecs it runs. [14:00] !pastebinit | Asad2005 [14:00] Asad2005: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit [14:00] I just need to make sure impact on remote system is minimal [14:01] well, on the started acting as a remote [14:01] ?? the remote system would be your render rig, so avconv and its codecs should have maximum impact, ideally be the only thing the rig does at all. [14:02] maybe minor control traffic via network [14:03] I mean impact on the system accessing it as a remote [14:03] probably the same as editing the video locally, minus most of the codec work. [14:04] tomreyn: please look at the log in this link http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/4GRP2Trgqr/ [14:04] so depends on what kind of video editor you use. if you use just an SSH session to issue avconv commands manually, very low impact. ;) [14:05] I specifically need obs [14:05] tomreyn: I was having problem logging in to my ubuntu GUI after upgrade to 18.10, lightdm greeter issue resolved and now i can only login to mate desktop [14:05] then all of OBS minus lots of the codec work. [14:06] that's fine, as long as I can figure out how to run it [14:07] if you intend to capture local av with software, you'll probably max out even a somewhat impressive network link. [14:07] tomreyn: In mate desktop liferea app is crashing and logging me out [14:07] the machine accessing it will be Windows and is generating all of the content being encoded all I need to make sure it will be minimal impact on the machine [14:08] tomreyn: all other sessions when selected it goes back to greeter in few seconds [14:10] tomreyn: The following sessions are on my system "cairo-dock.desktop gnome-classic.desktop gnome.desktop gnome-xorg.desktop mate.desktop ubuntu.desktop" [14:10] tomreyn: and only mate desktop working [14:12] jamie12, it's all about how your video and audio signal is transmitted to the render rig. if you render rig has hardware to receive and forward HDMI and S/PDIF, there should be no more impact than with a regular screen. if you try to squeeze the uncompressed data through ethernet, the network card will probably explode. ;) [14:12] Asad2005: thanks for the summary. so the log you posted, which file does it originate from? [14:13] Asad2005: also it looks like you only posted the (EE) records, please post the full log instead [14:14] right now we're trying to squeeze as much performance out of a threadripper 2950x as we can Sven_B [14:14] jamie12, from what I hear, obs is very cumbersome on users' time effort. so it might be more efficient investing the obs config and annoyance work into a pay job instead, and buy capture hardware from that. [14:14] we're aiming for next to perfect encoding [14:14] tomreyn: grep -F '(EE)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log [14:15] Asad2005: please do: pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log [14:15] we have all the hardware, it's more of a software thing at this point... and getting a Logitech brio running right on Linux lol [14:16] now that I think of it, when I hear about people using OBS for local capture they usually don't even try to encode it live. they record uncompressed av to a hard disk and then encode it later. [14:16] tomreyn: full log is in http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/2T3xbZCGRt/ [14:17] Sven_B this is for live capture and encoding proposes [14:18] like realtime streaming? [14:18] yes [14:18] that's why the need for extreme optimizations [14:18] and 18 cores lol [14:19] that's why we want linux as the windows os overhead is painful === CommandPrompt is now known as CommandPrompted [14:20] I realize "local" was to unspecific. what are the video and audio sources? [14:21] e.g. is it a screencast, or are cameras involved? === CommandPrompted is now known as CommandPrompt === lotuspsychje_ is now known as lotus|NUC [14:24] Sven HDMI capture, browser source and Logitech brio [14:27] ok so brio is a webcam. that can probably be connected directly to the render rig as to not burden the browser machine. a browser used for regular websites should have low enough fps as to not burden the network link very much either. what's the HDMI capture? [14:28] not sure yet, waiting on her to get back to me, it's not locally on the rig though which makes it interesting [14:28] Asad2005: do you have, in /etc/X11/ , a file or directory which starts with 'xorg'? [14:28] if it's acceptable to have worse quality in the preview, you could consider running the browser on the render rig, capture it there in high quality and view it on the interactive machine in low-res via some VNC-y remote control software. [14:28] to me this is a fun challenge to work out, I still need to figure out how to get 1080p60 from the webcam [14:29] Hello. A program that captures my mouse and keyboard crashed. What can I do to kill it? [14:30] m5w, SSH in, issue kill command [14:30] if it's still grabbing the input focus, it's probably not crashed enough yet. [14:30] Sven_vB, I don't think I ever set up an SSH server on my laptop [14:31] m5w: can you get to a console by pressing ctrl+alt+f2 ? [14:31] kill it from there. [14:31] db, already tried that [14:31] go back to UI with ctrl alt f7 [14:31] Asad2005: if so, rename it so it wont be found, and reboot, then post Xorg.0.log again [14:31] actually UI is on ctrl+alt+f1 now :) [14:31] for me it's still on f7 [14:31] idk [14:32] I also tried spamming ctrl+alt+delete to try to get the 7 times within 2 seconds reboot, bit that didn't work [14:32] m5w, you could try hack your own box then. or reboot and install SSH. there are so many cases where you'd want to have a back door when the main graphics fail. [14:32] well if rebooting is a solution you can just powercycle your laptop [14:33] m5w, does numlock still toggle? [14:33] Sven_vB, nope [14:33] tomreyn: only xorg.conf.failsafe [14:35] tomreyn: but there are somefiles starting with X like Xsession ..etc [14:35] why play twitter video increases usage and heat of cpu ? [14:35] Sven_B it won't be the end of the world if I have to run a ui locally [14:36] I just want to make sure there is 100% control of OBS on one of the systems as the user is nowhere near experienced with command line [14:36] m5w, you could still try the magic sysrg. one time where rebooting would have been reeeeeeally costly, and I knew the problem was OOM, I issued the OOM sysrq a few times, waited and prayed. about half an hour later the system was responsive enough again to clean up the debris manually. [14:37] ah! [14:37] sysreq worked [14:37] m5w, however, if you didn't install SSH, I guess you didn't enable sysrq either [14:37] the problem was that I wasn't pressing alt before [14:37] why play twitter video increases usage and heat of cpu ? and what is the solution ? I'm using kubuntu 16.04 [14:37] yeah one part of enabling sysrq is testing which keys really trigger it. :) [14:38] I know I can get everything set up, biggest thing is gonna be getting the webcam running at 1080p60 [14:38] someone_, decoding web video is somewhat math heavy. [14:39] jamie12, once you get it to run in guvcview, you can use its settings for avconv [14:39] Sven_vB but this is not a problem on windows , why ? [14:39] Asad2005: opy this to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and reboot https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/PVPFsmPYdC/ [14:40] someone_, might be about graphics drivers then. maybe your twitter browser runs software rendering for the video pixels. [14:41] my GPU is intel 4000 hd and its drivier tool is installed . === SimonNL_Afk is now known as SimonNL [14:44] tomreyn: ok i will reboot and see thanks [14:50] tomreyn: Same issue [14:51] Asad2005: okay, it seemed worth a try. please run: sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf; dpkg -l '*amdgpu*' '*rocm*' 2>&1 | pastebinit; ls -la /usr/bin/amdgpu* /var/opt/amdgpu* 2>&1 | pastebinit [14:52] Asad2005: also this: sudo ls -la /boot | pastebinit [14:56] Sven_B issue with the Logitech brio is getting the os itself to run it at 60fps [14:56] tomreyn: ok these are links http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/CS92V37PDv/ , http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/CzTPXzSHQN/ , http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/tymhxF8sGr/ [14:56] Asad2005: and also: sudo apt install libgl1-mesa-dri; dpkg -l '*mesa*' | pastebinit then reboot again [14:56] issue is zero Linux support from Logitech for the said 4k camera [14:57] libgl1-mesa-dri is already the newest version (18.2.2-0ubuntu1) [14:58] Asad2005: ok, weirtd. you can also remove this leftover: sudo rm /usr/bin/amdgpu-uninstall [14:58] tomreyn: and this one is last pastebin link http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/j4Ksp4YTzY/ [15:00] Asad2005: sudo apt purge mir-client-platform-mesa2 libopenvg1-mesa [15:01] tomreyn: ok purged [15:02] does ubuntu have a bluetooth blacklist? [15:04] Asad2005: does the file /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/swrast_dri.so exist? [15:05] Asad2005: sudo apt-get install --reinstall -y libgl1-mesa-dri 2>&1 | pastebinit [15:06] Asad2005: then post the pastebin output, reboot again, tell me whether there are any improvements. [15:08] tomreyn: the swart_dri.so file exists yes [15:09] would be able to write output to a revolving file so to speak? like as you record and write to the file, read write then delete it [15:09] Asad2005: okay that's strange because your Xorg.0.log reported that it does not exist. [15:10] tomreyn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/jjgrmPyKTr/ [15:11] tomreyn: shall i reboot and see [15:11] Asad2005: ok, you can reboot now. if there are still no improvements after reboot: reboot again, but to recovery menu, use the last menu option to drop to a root shell, then create a new user 'test' with a secure password using " adduser test --gecos '' ". then press ctrl-d (or type exit, to have the boot continue, then login as this new user on the graphical desktop using your preferred session. [15:12] jamie12, and then read the file and send its data to the encoding rig? [15:13] hi, after upgrade, the shell on top left display no blue line on the sound and screen brightness sliders, i selected the Yaru theme [15:17] tomreyn: what is the --gecos option for ? and the '' [15:18] Asad2005: so that it doesn't ask you about the users' location, office, pphone number etc. you can also omit " --gecos '' " and just press enter for every prompts except for the password. [15:20] tomreyn: ok thanks i will try [15:21] Sven_B on the rig itself, I don't think I'm gonna get it working with direct interacted with OBS but I know I can if I write to file [15:22] I can just read as media source local file [15:26] one sec, swapping to desktop client [15:27] basalt: install gnome-tweak-tool, change themes and set back to yaru, see if your issue persist? [15:27] Hi everyone [15:27] welcome JustDev_ [15:27] tomreyn: Thank you it worked after reboot old user name ubuntu session, i will see if liferea is working or not [15:27] okay, back [15:27] swapped to my primary account [15:28] Asad2005: very well, post xorg.0.log again if you like, and "glxinfo -B" since oyu may still be software rendering (i.e. no 3d acceleration) [15:30] Sven_B any ideas on how i could create a buffer file to read from that will work as a buffer and not just strait record taking up uber amouts of space due to 1080p60 [15:32] tomreyn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/jdYvPWwSXy/ [15:33] Hello, I have some issue with a new conf, The system is booting, ssh okay, but black screen, no desktop...
