RhapsodyHow do I go about changing the font used in GNOME? I've used GNOME Tweaks to change the font in applications and such, but that doesn't change it in GNOME. So I've followed the guide here; https://www.maketecheasier.com/change-the-fonts-in-gnome3/00:06
RhapsodyApparently doing that is supposed to change the font used in GNOME, I'm using the clock in the top middle as an indicator. There's no change, even if I change the font size.00:07
RhapsodyHm, I see, that's for the default theme... Needs to be for the theme I'm using.00:08
cyborgjedihi guys00:42
RhapsodySo I'm looking to do some gaming on Ubuntu. I have an AMD 390X GPU. I'm wondering where I need to install graphics drivers or whether Ubuntu already handled it for me? Additionally, in the situation that I *do* need to install drivers from AMD, do I use the regular or pro variant? I'm a bit confused here.00:53
Bashing-omRhapsody: Yes both ways :) That card also supports the proprietary overlay. https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2404547 to get some hints .01:01
RhapsodyBashing-om: It's mostly a matter of which is more ideal for performance01:02
RhapsodyI'll check out that link though, thanks01:02
Bashing-omRhapsody: At this point you should hve the AMDgpu driver ... now on top of that one "MAY" install amdgpu-pro on supportd GCN cards .01:05
RhapsodyAny way to confirm that?01:05
Bashing-omRhapsody: kinda old but should suffice: http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMD-Radeon-GPU-PRO-Linux-Beta-Driver%E2%80%93Release-Notes.aspx01:17
businessaccounthow to specify a specific kernel modul to be loaded at boot01:20
Bashing-ombusinessaccount: Choose an alternate kernel from the grub boot menu's "advanced" options.01:26
businessaccountaccording to the online support the qcserial driver needs the usb identifier compiled into the module from the linux source code, but if that is so why do some posts claim to have had it working without mention of conmpiling kernel code01:26
businessaccountBashing-om: does adding it to /etc/modules not work anymore?01:27
Bashing-ombusinessaccount: Sorry, never known of such a thing as adding a module to boot a kernel .01:29
businessaccountok01:30
businessaccountthe module is to be loaded at boot01:30
businessaccountthough according to documentation it needs to be recompiled from source after adding a usb identifier into the sourcecode01:31

ccb0x45how do I do that?07:41
ccb0x45I have ppa-purge07:41
ducasse!ppa-purge07:42
ubottuTo 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:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html07:42
evertiroccb0x45 Only checked xorg-video-abi, but that package at least isn't in official repos, so I'm guessing that ducasse is right and it's a PPA issue07:42
ccb0x45how do I know which ppa's to purge?07:42
ducasseccb0x45: _all_ of them, is what is recommended before upgrading07:43
ccb0x45every single ppa I have?07:43
evertiroit's best to07:43
ccb0x45ok07:43
ducasseccb0x45: at least those who replace repo packages07:43
evertiroif a PPA doesn't have a candidate for the version you're upgrading to, it can cause all sorts of fun issues07:43
ducasseccb0x45: if it just installs a single package that doesn't already exist in the repos, it's probably not a big deal07:44
blip99Hi all, I'm running Xubuntu 18.04.1 on a Dell XPS laptop.  Bluetooth worked fine for months, but sometimes machine boots up with bluetooth not working (or after suspend to ram).  Rebooting usually solves it, but this time it isn't07:47
blip99and this command no longer works: 'sudo service /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart'   ---> Failed to restart etc-init.d-bluetooth.service.mount: Unit etc-init.d-bluetooth.service.mount not found07:47
blip99Any thoughts?07:47
evertiroblip99: did you run an update recently?07:48
ccb0x45thanks guys07:48
ccb0x45I found the ppa causing the issue, I didn't have many07:48
ducasseccb0x45: yw07:48
blip99evertiro, yes but nothign drastic just weekly updates (maybe it updated the kernel though)07:48
ccb0x45another question, what is generally considered generally better, for ATI gpus, running the closed source drivers or open source drivers?07:49
evertiroblip99: wait a second... are you seriously using the full path in that commnad?07:50
evertiroshould be just sudo service bluetooth restart07:50
ducasseccb0x45: in most cases, open source07:50
ccb0x45@ducasse, is that for performance?07:50
ccb0x45I wanted to run the open source, but when I installed 18.04 it was crashing when i moved the mouse at the login screen(black screen) if I didn't nomodeset07:51
ducasseccb0x45: aiui there are only a few cards the closed source driver works with anyway, and it tends to take a while to work on new releases07:51
ccb0x45ill try my luck at the open source driver on 18.10 I guess07:52
ducasseccb0x45: i don't think amdgpu-pro works on 18.10 yet anyway07:53
ccb0x45uh oh.. if the crash comes back then I might be out of luck07:54
blip99evertiro, oh lol. ok that ocmmand worked, but still no bt.  can you please help me check if the correct daemons are running?  i'm so confused by the 1000 cli commands with blue in the name07:54
ducasseccb0x45: if it does you should file a bug07:54
ccb0x45ok07:55
blip99evertiro, the gui tools i have on XFCE is blueman-manager.  I opened that, it asked me to enable Bluetooth (I pressed yes to enable). but the interface isn't usable, buttons not clickable07:55

uberwagubuntu 16.0411:38
uberwagon openvz vps11:38
uberwagi cannot use apparmor on openvz?11:39
eviladminuberwag: you are stuck with whatever the host support, if they don't support apparmor then you can't do nothing about it11:39
* eviladmin suggests not using openvz11:39
eviladminuberwag: stuck on a 2.6 kernel too btw?11:39
uberwageviladmin: yes11:40
eviladmineven more reason to find a better host11:40
uberwagyea..11:40
eviladminkvm isn't that much more expensive usually11:40
uberwagany attempt to upgrade 18.04 will fail on such a host?11:40
eviladminnot sure what the minimum kernel version for the glibc in 18.04 is11:41
eviladminbut when you can get a kvm host from 10€/year..11:41

eviladmindisabeling plymouth may help quite a bit it seems11:46
balsaqhow do i disable plymouth11:46
eviladminalso your claim of "lag" is clearly false, as it boots in 12.4 seconds in total11:47
eviladminmaybe you are confused by your firmware being really slow?11:47
eviladminand/or it having a timed spash screen11:47
balsaqthen why does it stick on  purple screen for so long like 30 secs11:47
eviladminbefore you get to the bootloader?11:47
eviladminif so, try upgrading the firmware11:47
balsaqits a intel i5 with ssd11:48

balsaqtotal time from off to deskto p is what i mean11:48

balsaqyeah but take lot longer to get to my desktop11:49
eviladminnote: does not include whatever your firmware and bootloader is doing11:49
balsaqso u want me to update my ssd?11:49
eviladminno11:49
eviladmincheck for a firmware update for your motherboard11:50
balsaqthere are no more of those11:50
eviladminalso see if it has some splash screen with a timeout configured11:50
balsaqi did that when i took win 1011:50
uberwageviladmin: i paid for this openvz for quite a long period, can i somehow still use it in a secure way? i already got firewall in place, but with lower kernel, modules not loading - is this a big security risk, or is it ok to still use such a box?11:50
eviladminuberwag: personally I would not trust anything openvz11:50
balsaqif there is splash screen config it came with 18.04 as i added nothing11:50
uberwagok11:51
eviladminthough arguably you should not trust any hosting company / vps seller11:51
eviladminthough how paranoid you should be depends on what you are hosting :)11:51
uberwagyes ok11:52
uberwagi host pictures of cats <<11:52
eviladminbeside the security issues, openvz with ancient kernel are just a giant pain to deal with11:52
Nelluki just stopped using an openvz host yesterday because it was so oversold that it would often take 30 seconds to respond to the 'uptime' command. wonder if i can do a paypal chargeback11:52
eviladminbad performance, lacks features, can't use out of tree modules etc11:53

eviladminEDITOR=nano sudoedit /etc/default/grub11:59
Apachezsudo vi /etc/default/grub11:59
Apachezwhatever floats your boat :)12:00
eviladminsudoedit is nicer, no reason to run the editor itself as root12:00
eviladmincan even use gedit or notepad that way12:00
ApachezGRUB_DEFAULT=0     GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0     GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true     GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden     GRUB_TIMEOUT=012:00
balsaqthe eidor thingput all kinds of data up though12:00
oijeeboo!keep druidbloke12:00
Apachezand replace     GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="splash quiet"      with       GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"12:01
Apachezsave the file12:01
eviladmincould drop the quiet too, optionally12:01
Apachezrun      sudo update-grub2     after that12:01
Apacheznow you disabled graphical boot and use textual instead (well framebuffered but anyway, you see text instead of graphic stuff)12:01
Apachezquiet seems to add boot time12:01
balsaqgoog il ike that text12:01
Apachezdepending on gpu the framebuffer gets really slow12:02
balsaqbut i still havent done it yet12:02
Apachezso I prefer quiet if you want speed, no need for the text to render onto the display which you dont see anyway12:02
balsaqor is it ready to go now12:02
balsaqi want total speed12:02
Apachezin my case except for modifying the grub I also ran:12:03
Apachezsystemctl disable motd-news.service12:03
Apachezsystemctl disable NetworkManager-wait-online.service12:03
balsaqim lost but i have that last terminal up there12:03
Apachezsystemctl disable apt-daily.service12:03
Apachezand then I removed the postfix package (in my case I have no need for it, but your milage may vary)12:03
eviladminmost users don't need postfix12:04
balsaqwhat do i do now12:04
eviladminthere are way simpler sendmail implementations if you just need smtp too12:05
balsaqwhat cmd do i run to remove all the stuff that slows me down12:06
balsaqsudo update-grub2     i did that one12:07
Apachezbefore I had    https://ptpb.pw/D8lx12:07
Apachezafter the above changes I had    https://ptpb.pw/ff4X12:07
balsaqam i done y uidating grub alone12:08
Apachezbefore I had    https://ptpb.pw/D8lx.svg12:08
Apachezafter the above changes I had    https://ptpb.pw/ff4X.svg12:08

Apachezyou fix grub12:08
Apachezyou disable whatever services you like12:08
Apachezyou reboot12:08
Nellukyes/part12:08
Apachezyou then run systemd-analyze plot > plot2.svg   again12:08
balsaqi updated it but i dont know how to fix what it tells me12:08
Apachezand paste that output somewhere12:08
balsaqi wnt to remove splash or w/e u said that makes it pause12:09
balsaqthe long wait i get onthe purple screen12:09
balsaqim lost guessim stuck with slow boot12:12
BluesKajHiya folks12:42
uberwageviladmin: if i find a kvm host that i like, is it ok to have ubuntu 16.04 on it, vs v18 - from security pov they both supported right?12:48
eviladminI would install 18.04, I don't see any reason to use 16 unless you have a pointy haired boss with a gun at your paycheck12:49
uberwaghaha ok12:50
uberwagwhat is the best way to version upgrade to 18.04 if 16 is installed by default?12:50
eviladminimo a clean install of 1812:51
uberwagof course, but in case i need?12:51

lotuspsychjerebab: we strongly advice installing ubuntu :p13:00
rebablotuspsychje: I have some files on windows. Can I reach those on ubuntu?13:02
lotuspsychjerebab: you mean for backup your files?13:02
rebablotuspsychje: No I have 3 partitions. C, D and another partition for ubuntu. I'll install dual boot. Can I reach D drive on ubuntu?13:03
lotuspsychjerebab: yes you can enter ntfs drives from /mnt or /media13:04
rebablotuspsychje: and my last question. My friend was always choosing the OS before booting. I mean GRUB booter. Can I boot Ubuntu by default?13:05
lotuspsychjerebab: after you have setup ubuntu alongside windows, you can edit grub to have ubuntu by default sure13:05
lotuspsychje!grub | rebab13:06
ubotturebab: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub213:06
rebabafter everything set. which is the boot another os button?13:09
lotuspsychjerebab: there's no magic red button13:09
lotuspsychjerebab: you need to edit grub with an editor13:10
lotuspsychjerebab: gedit for example13:10
rebablotuspsychje: no I mean when I want to open windows 10 I have to edit grub right? No button for it?13:11
lotuspsychjerebab: ah you mean to enter grub? that magic button is holding shift at boot13:11

lotuspsychjejhave: both are the users choice actually13:51
jhavelotuspsychje, just what way i have to go :)13:56
lotuspsychjejhave: really depends on your case mate, let me ask you this, do you have a reason to clean install completly and do all your configs over again?13:57

firelegendI was running Ubuntu 18.414:03
firelegendPremature send :/14:03
lotuspsychjefirelegend: elaborate please, whats going on?14:04
firelegendI was running Ubuntu 18.04 x64 with kernel 4.15.18, on a laptop14:04
firelegendlotus psyche I would have but premature send14:04
firelegendI have Intel coffee lake with integrated gpu and Nvidia dedicated card, I used prime-select to switch to Intel gpu14:05
firelegendAnd so ce then all hell broke loose14:05
firelegendI could no longer get Nvidia running14:05
blackflowjhave: a lot has changed since 16.04 and some things aren't installed the same way if you upgrade or install from scratch. I'd recommend isntall from scratch if you want a clean 18.04 experience.14:05
firelegendI reinstalled the driver, xorg, gdm314:05
firelegendAnd now xorg is broken14:05
lotuspsychjefirelegend: wich driver does your system reccomend? ubuntu-drivers list14:06
firelegendlotuspsychje I used the Nvidia ppa14:06
firelegendSo the proprietary drivers14:06
lotuspsychjefirelegend: wich driver does your system reccomend please14:06
firelegendThe very latest I assume14:06
firelegendI ko longer have a window manager14:06
firelegendIt's broken14:07
lotuspsychjefirelegend: can you fallback to tty?14:07
firelegendYes14:07
firelegendStartx just hangs now14:07
lotuspsychjefirelegend: ubuntu-drivers list plz14:07
firelegendI have a bunch14:07
firelegendNvidia driver 390 39614:08
firelegendAnd 41014:08
lotuspsychjefirelegend: ok tnx, wich driver is currently active?14:08
firelegendNot sure I am on the cmd14:08
firelegendNo window manager, no Gui14:08
lotuspsychjefirelegend: sudo lshw -C video to see behind driver=14:09
firelegendSays driver Nvidia14:10
firelegendAnd for the Intel graphics i91514:10
lotuspsychjefirelegend: ok, lets try to fallback to nouveau first: sudo apt purge nvidia*14:10
lotuspsychjefirelegend: reboot, and see if you can enter your system again14:11
firelegendI did fallback to it initially, but that was not what I wanted14:11
uberwagby default openvpn 2.4.4 will be installed - i cannot imagine this being a big security risk, else they would change that.. am i right?14:11

uberwagi can install from source, but i rather just apt install openvpn as it then will be auto updated14:11
firelegendRebooting14:14
firelegendDamn I forgot to purge Nvidia14:14
lotuspsychjeuberwag: start from the beginning mate, what are you trying to do14:15
firelegendSounds like there's an arduous process ahead of me14:15
uberwaglotuspsychje: install latest openvpn on ubuntu 18.0414:15
lotuspsychje!latest | uberwag14:15
ubottuuberwag: 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.14:15
uberwagyea14:16
uberwagthanks ubottu :)14:16
lotuspsychjeuberwag: we strongly advice to use package versions for your current ubuntu version14:16
lotuspsychjeuberwag: or consider !backports or snaps14:16
uberwagyes14:16
lotuspsychjefrad: not sure it has a reduce function, but we hear good things of inkscape14:19
firelegendlotuspsychje I am now rebooting, but considering I managed to break xorg and gdm314:20
firelegendMight not work still14:20
firelegendOh it seems to be loading I can see a cursor14:21

firelegendGetting Nvidia up and running14:30
firelegendWith proprietary drivers14:30
lotuspsychjefirelegend: ok now on an optimus card you need an nvidia driver + nvidia-prime14:30
lotuspsychjefirelegend: i would go first for the reccomended driver ubuntu-drivers list show you14:31
kreyrenlotuspsychje: why is nvidia prime required? (have issues with Nvidia drivers on gentoo)14:31

yelowfishMakefile:975: "Cannot use CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION=y, please install libelf-dev, libelf-devel or elfutils-libelf-devel"14:31
lotuspsychjekreyren: we can only support ubuntu here mate14:31
firelegendMy idea was that I could switch between Intel graphics and Nvidia14:31
firelegendFor some power saving14:32
firelegendAs soon a si used14:32
kreyrenlotuspsychje: ikr asking for info since its related14:32
firelegendPrime-select Intel14:32
lotuspsychjefirelegend: thats possible, once you got the right nvidia driver14:32
firelegendEverything broke14:32
lotuspsychjefirelegend: falling back to nouveau was just to get us a booting system14:32
firelegendI was using 410 at that time14:32
lotuspsychjefirelegend: i would go for a lower first14:32
lotuspsychjefirelegend: 390 showup for your card?14:33
lotuspsychjefirelegend: you can also ubuntu-drivers autoinstall14:33
firelegendWell before I used 390 because at that moment there were no drivers for me, at least autoinstall did not use Nvidia drivers14:34
firelegendSo i had to manually add the Nvidia ppa14:34
firelegendAnd grab em from there14:34
firelegendAnd I had a working system for a month14:34
lotuspsychjefirelegend: thats not possible, ubuntu drivers list always shows a reccomended one (if you have nvidia)14:35
firelegendBut battery life was horrid, 30 minutes or so14:35
firelegendNot at that time for me, when I had a fresh Ubuntu install14:36
firelegendNot even i915 worked alright without going through some guides on my laptop14:36
yelowfishhttps://paste.ubuntu.com/p/WGnPwHh9Dm/ pls advice.tnx14:37
lotuspsychjefirelegend: try ubuntu-drivers autoinstall, and see wich one it installs?14:37
firelegendIt chose the latest 41014:39
firelegendLet's hope it manages to boot later on14:39
lotuspsychjeok if its not, purge nvidia* again14:39
firelegendBeforehand when I had used prime select to use Intel, the resolution was very low instead of fhd14:44
firelegendXrandr showed only lower resolutions than native14:44
firelegendHowever I think I had better performance on the window manager and scrolling with Intel than Nvidia, for some reason14:46
firelegendAnd a 1050 is probably way faster than hd63014:46
firelegendLotuspsychje doesn't seem to want to work without nomodeset even when the drivers were installed14:50
firelegendI only heard that Ubuntu login sound, some kind of drums, and the screen is black with a small non blinking dash on the upper left corner14:50
firelegendI can access the shell with ctrl alt f3 though14:51
lotuspsychjefirelegend: is your system up to date?14:52
firelegendVery14:52
firelegendI was even running kernel 4.1914:52
lotuspsychje.38 kernel?14:52
lotuspsychjefirelegend: i wonder wich driver was there, before you added the ppa14:53
firelegendWell not 390 for sure14:53
firelegendBack to nomodeset and perhaps 39014:53

cariveriHi. I used to run a browser for audio in the background, when playing a game. now the browser sucks up all the cpu power, after install of ubuntu 18 coming with newer browsers.16:13
TJ-psilonux: you don't; check the log systemd-timesyncd: "systemctl status systemd-timesyncd.service"16:13
psilonuxTJ-: well, I actually just did that but journalctl tells me that timesyncd is alternating between the ntp-server from dhcp and ntp.ubuntu.com. How can I force timesyncd to only use the ntp-server from dhcp?16:15
psilonuxI read the man page, but it isnt very informative16:16
TJ-psilonux: hmmm, not sure, maybe there's an option adding ubuntu time server that can be disabled16:21
psilonuxsettings in /etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf take precedence, but nothing is configured there except the defaults from compile time16:22
psilonuxmaybe ntp.uubuntu.com is compiled in default16:22
TJ-psilonux: I see that is in /etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf but commented out (as a fallback)16:24
firelegendAlright16:25
firelegendSo...16:25
firelegendWithout nomodeset none of the display managers work16:26
firelegendNot gdm3, not lightdm16:26
TJ-psilonux: you're correct; debian/rules shows the conf flags are -Dntp-servers="$(DEFAULT_NTP_SERVERS)" and  DEFAULT_NTP_SERVERS = ntp.ubuntu.com16:26
psilonuxTJ-: that would mean that  timedatectl rotates between the compiled in default ntp.ubuntu.com and the dhcp provided one?16:28
psilonuxat least that's what comes up in the log16:29
TJ-psilonux: it would seem so; maybe if you set the fallback to nothing it'd stop the default being used?16:30
psilonuxTJ-: everything is commented out in /etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf Thanks anayway, I'll try to live with it :)16:36
TJ-psilonux: I meant to set "NTP=" and  "FallbackNTP=" instead of having it commented out, in case that will override the compile-time defaults17:00

ccb0x45hey whats the difference between the radeon, amdgpu, and amdgpu-pro drivers?17:32

ccb0x45ok, so I should be using amdgpu most likely, I had a hell of a time figure out how to get it stable on 18.1017:34

TJ-ccb0x45: well, to me none sound like packages from thw archive but you bring up a good point; one of our volunteers raised a bug against the gnome software center package because it is impossible to know when an application comes from a snap (and consequently is NOT supported by the community nor Canonical)18:16

=== SimonNL_Afk is now known as SimonNL

nickNoltethe link points to "main" folder in same directory20:26
nickNoltethe device is specified as /cow20:26
nickNolteto be precise, it points to "main.bak" and is called "main"20:27

nickNolteyes20:28
nickNoltebut i can change every other file, create etc20:28
nickNoltecan even change the actual folder "main.bak"20:28
TJ-nickNolte: the basic architecture is the root file-system is squashfs, which is read-only, so it is mounted with an overlayfs so it can do copy-on-write if you make changes. Overlay is backed by RAM tmpfs I think, so it could be it is running out of free space in tmpfs, or that path is somehow otherwise protected20:30

RobBurkeHi. Anyone knows a way of modifying the nightshift mode un 18.04? Mine turns my monitor almost completely red and I want tone it down  bit20:40
acresearchTJ-: i opened the .desktop file and i went to the source but when i execute it on its own it opens an application without any text on the GUI buttons, very strange20:40
acresearchTJ-: i think i purchased a very expensive digital microscope without the possibility of making it work on linux :-(   even though the manufacturer says it should work on linux20:41
TJ-acresearch: I don't use ubuntu/gnome desktop so I'm unfamiliar with it, but in general you probably need "sudo chmod a+x ...."20:42
TJ-acresearch: I think simply +x affects your current user, root, which already has the permissions, 'a' means 'all' which does "ugo+x"20:42
acresearchTJ-: i just tried it again, nothing changes, still cannot open it20:42
`whoami`so yeah, it seems systemd is actually cleaning tmp files... what if we actually *need* them ?20:43
TJ-acresearch: did you read the bit in that AskUbuntu answer that says "This may also appear if any of the paths in your .desktop files are malformed or do not refer to existing files or directories...."20:44
RobBurkenevermind, found it in the dconf-editor20:48
acresearchTJ-: hmmm20:52
TJ-`whoami`: the wohle point of /tmp/ is for ... temporary ... files :) I use tmpfs for /tmp20:52

TJ-acresearch: can you execute the program directly with "/usr/local/ToupLite/touplite" in a terminal shell?21:07
`whoami`TJ-: yes, but i remember when /tmp was cleaned on reboot; not while you're using them21:07
acresearchTJ-: yes, but i get a GUI without words21:08
TJ-`whoami`: well yes, it should have contents deleted on shutdown, or at startup21:08

acresearchhttp://www.touptek.com/download/showdownload.php?lang=en&id=2821:10
TJ-`whoami`: seems like /lib/systemd/system/systemd-tmpfiles-clean.timer is responsible; OnBootSec=15min and OnUnitActiveSec=1d which if they seem as obvious as they seem, suggests 15 minutes after boot and every 24 hours after service start21:11

TJ-`whoami`: the man-page says about "--clean": "If this option is passed, all files and directories with an age parameter configured will be cleaned up."21:13

OerHeksgostforest, oh, that is why, EOL, dead https://www.ubuntufree.com/how-to-install-avast-on-ubuntu/ , but you can pay for server antiviral stuff21:23

OerHeksor just install clamav and rkhunter21:24
gostforestso it says i require a company name, do i just put any old name?21:25
TJ-apekatten: why not wrap your ZoL in DKMS wrapper so it is built and installed automatically every time a new kernel is installed, and replaces the module shipped in the kernel image?21:25
apekattenTJ-: Yes , I have compiled and wish to use zfs-0.8.0, but the kernel module shipped in linux-modules-4.15.0-29-generic ruins it21:26
apekattenTJ-: I have never heard of this method, do you have a link to a tutorial or somewhere to learn more?21:26
TJ-apekatten: wrap it with DKMS. I do that a lot with various (test) module builds. source gets linked to /usr/src/<module>-<version> I add a dkms.conf file, and then "sudo dkms add <module>/<version>" and "sudo dkms install <module>/<version>"21:27
acresearchTJ-: amd6421:27
TJ-apekatten: which ubuntu release are you using? I might be able to find you an example/template21:28
TJ-acresearch: that is x86_64; 64 bit21:29
TJ-!info zfs-dkms | apekatten21:29
ubottuapekatten: zfs-dkms (source: zfs-linux): OpenZFS filesystem kernel modules for Linux. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.7.5-1ubuntu16.4 (bionic), package size 1353 kB, installed size 10462 kB21:29
apekattenTJ-: I'm using 18.0421:29
TJ-apekatten: you could use that as your example, copy its dkms.conf and modify the version for yours, then uninstall that zfs-linux once yours is building and installing correctly21:30
TJ-apekatten: it'll install under /usr/src/21:30
gostforestOk, I need this all to be cleared. Anyone here know of an antivirus that scans buntu for viruses and windows for viruses?21:31
apekattenTJ-: thanks! I'll try it21:31
TJ-apekatten: "man dkms" will be a great help to you :)21:32
TJ-apekatten: and "dkms status" will help enlighten you21:32
acresearchTJ-: i think i will have to use a mac or a windows for this microscope camera let me try and see, it seems it is a very bad chinease product, even their website is not that great, i am surprised omax has partnered with them21:37
gostforestok so i need to install clam av, but its not letting me21:41
gostforestnevermind21:44
gostforestforgot to sudo21:45
acresearchTJ-: i just check and the software work very well on mac, so i am concearned that they only say they provide for linux without "actually" providing a software for linux21:55
TJ-acresearch: that would not surprise me21:55
acresearchTJ-: :-(21:55
KPI42Hello everyone, Unity has been discontinued ?22:21
eviladminKPI42: in ubuntu yes22:24
eviladmindevelopment have been taken over by third party, but don't expect it to live for long22:25

KPI42Ok, thanks :)22:50
GalactorHello! what is a good bluetooth device manager TUI?22:58
tgm4883ok, running 18.04, how can I run a command on screen rotation?22:58
AndyChow888tgm4883, xrandr --rotate22:59
tgm4883AndyChow888: I need to run a command when the screen rotates (eg. when it rotation automatically, via the accelorometer) not how to rotate the screen23:01
TJ-tgm4883: the iio-sensor-proxy package (if your system has an orientation sensor)23:02
AndyChow888tgm4883, do you really need that, or do you need to disable the screen rotation?23:02
tgm4883TJ-: I was hoping there was a way to do it without the iio-sensor-proxy, if only because it seems like there should be since the screen rotates automatically already. But I'll look into that again. (I was hoping UDEV could do it)23:03
tgm4883AndyChow888: Yes... I'm trying to fix the pen mapping to my screen when it rotates. Not disable screen rotation23:03
TJ-tgm4883: iio-sensor-proxy is the package that provides all the plumbing; it's part of gnome. which DE are you using?23:06
tgm4883TJ-: budgie, now that I'm looking at it it's already installed. I guess I should be using that :)23:07
TJ-tgm4883: test it with "monitor-sensor"23:11
tgm4883TJ-: just did, seems to be working. Now I just need to figure out how to connect this with the command I want to run23:12
tgm4883On my previous tablet, I never got it working correct. Wasn't a big deal though because it wasn't a very good tablet/pen23:12
TJ-tgm4883: usually it's a combination of udev and a call to a script the runs xrandr if X is running (not sure what you'd do for a Wayland based setup)23:13
TJ-tgm4883: if the orientation is wrong you have to add a matrix to udev's 60-sensor.hwdb. I had to do that for my Asus T300CHI23:14
tgm4883TJ-: the orientation isn't wrong per se, it's the pen orientation that is wrong when the screen rotates (the pen mapping doesn't rotate)23:22
AndyChow888You can probably create a service that is triggered when the rotation happens, and rotates the pen orientation. But that's batteries not included type of hack.23:24
tgm4883AndyChow888: I feel like that's what I had done on my previous tablet. IIRC wrote output of monitor-sensors to a file, watched that file for certain text and then ran a command based on that. But it was really hacky23:25
AndyChow888You can make a sd-event. works on events, instead of timer.23:28
