[00:01] <rhoks> installing libva-glx2 and vainfo
[00:27] <germmand> Yo guys. I have a dummy question. I know that when you wanna install a package on ubuntu, the package goes through two stages, right? Unpacking and configuring.
[00:27] <germmand> Unpacking is putting all of the files in their respective places. What does configuring mean?
[00:28] <cryptodan_mobile> Setting them up
[01:10] <ironhaven> I am using 18.10 and when I log back in from sleep I can see the taskbar while entering my password. The login manager is not taking up the whole screen. Is this a visual bug?
[03:42] <Luke_94_USA> Can someone help me install a plugin for Totem?
[03:49] <n00bee> I upgraded from 16.04 to 18.04 via do-release-upgrade and now I have no netwroking
[03:49] <n00bee> This is on a VPS so it's a massive problem. Can't get any data out.
[03:55] <n00bee> How does one troubleshoot networking problems after an upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04?
[03:56] <cfhowlett> !network | n00bee
[03:58] <WoC> btw, is 16.04 the end of the line for 32 bit systems?
[03:58] <cfhowlett> pretty sure yes, WoC
[03:58] <WoC> Dang
[03:59] <n00bee> cfhowlett, @uottu: This is for Ubuntu server 18.04 LTS on a VPS
[03:59] <cfhowlett> n00bee, ah.  suggest you ask in #ubuntu-server.  I have not VPS experience
[03:59] <WoC> Pretty soon everything will probably be GPT too, right >
[03:59] <WoC> ?
[04:00] <n00bee> ah..didn't realize that was a separate channel. Thanks.
[04:02] <WoC> Hopefully not, though... I aint got nothing that can boot GPT
[04:04] <zarozombie> any of you ever lock yourself out of login(gdm3 login) by updating nvidia drivers?
[04:05] <rnat> WoC: is your device still on BIOS?
[04:07] <d-rock> n00bee: when you say no networking, is your interface down, is it missing, or is something else going on?
[04:09] <nacc> d-rock: being debugged in #ubuntu-server
[04:09] <d-rock> OK, thanks
[04:11] <rnat> d-rock: are you the same guy who wrote a book on Lift framework?
[04:14] <genewitch> i need to execute a command: "enable_dtoverlay eth1 ethernet@ff550000 okay" on boot. I have added a service in /etc/systemd/system/eth1.service and it looks like this http://projectftm.com/#3wEyRtwaFLb4ODXhJdPM8A and a file in /usr/local/sbin/eth1.sh with the command in it
[04:14] <genewitch> It doesn't run on boot, but systemctl start eth1 starts it
[04:14] <nacc> genewitch: you need to link it into the correct target, read about `systemctl enable`
[04:15] <genewitch> i ran that
[04:15] <nacc> genewitch: with an actual service, of coures, right?
[04:16] <genewitch> nacc: i linked the service i made
[04:16] <genewitch> like i said, systemctl start eth1 correctly runs/starts the command
[04:18] <rnat> genewitch: did you set the script with appropriate permission.
[04:18] <genewitch> chmod u+x on both the .service and the .sh
[04:20] <rnat> I am assuming your script depends on networking service?
[04:20] <genewitch> i don't think so, it's just to enable the physical hardware
[04:20] <rnat> if so you need to add
[04:21] <rnat> Wants and After in the Unit section of your .service file
[04:23] <genewitch> where do i see the errors from systemd?
[04:23] <genewitch> i mean it should throw an error, right?
[04:23] <rnat> journalctl -b
[04:24] <genewitch> Nothing in there about eth1.service
[04:27] <genewitch> i'm adding the wants and after
[04:28] <genewitch> HEYOOOOOOO
[04:28] <genewitch> thanks rnat you da boss
[04:35] <john_rambo> I am not able to update 18.04 for the past few days >>>> https://paste2.org/7LbKxBvg ...Please tell me whats wrong
[04:35] <john_rambo> Already tried different mirrors
[04:36] <lotuspsychje> john_rambo: please join #ubuntu-mirrors with me
[04:48] <genewitch> is there a firewall/gateway/router with a webgui i can install on top of ubuntu server?
[04:51] <lotuspsychje> genewitch: come join #ubuntu-server please
[04:51] <sta7ic> genewitch: well you'd have the option of putting a actual physical router in front or are you look more for software
[04:52] <sta7ic> ill join the server channel as well
[04:54] <d-rock> rnat: yeah, that's me :)
[04:56] <buddhirt> some query if anyone knows? i have installed isc-dhcp-server in 18.04. Seems like in 18.04 interface is not auto-up without connecting network cable to client machine, so dhcp server cannot listen to defined interfce.
[04:57] <buddhirt> any solution ?
[05:03] <lotuspsychje> buddhirt: ubuntu-server?
[05:03] <buddhirt> lotuspsychje, yes
[05:03] <lotuspsychje> buddhirt: come join #ubuntu-server mate, volunteers might have a look for you
[05:05] <buddhirt> netplan is troubling i think, does it have auto interface up option ?
[05:20] <drecondius> Does anyone know how i can "optirun" a program without using the terminal every time?
[05:25] <rfm> drecondius, well,how would you be launching the game or whatever if you weren't using the terminal?
[05:25] <drecondius> panel applet in mate
[05:27] <drecondius> i created a shortcut on the desktop and appended optirun in front of the .sh and it simply doesnt' run but when I drag the shortcut into terminal it runs. also, removing optirun from the deskto shortcut allows said program to run.
[05:28] <rfm> drecondius, well, must be something odd about the way mate launches things, can't help sorry
[05:28] <drecondius> it's the same in gnome and kde
[05:30] <drecondius> Minecraft and Multimc are the two launchers I've tested
[05:34] <rfm> drecondius, it's probably some damn quoting problem.  setting the command to 'optirun sh -c "whatever it takes to run the game"'  is probably the direction to go.
[05:35] <rajivmars> hi all! is there some themes for icons available for ubuntu 18.04? if yes then please name some.
[05:36] <rajivmars> i don't like the default theme used by gnome in ubuntu.
[05:36] <lotuspsychje> !themes | rajivmars
[05:44] <tiox> I am not sure if this is a question better quited to support, but I am curious about how to change the monospace font used for installation dialogs accessible from applications like gdebi-gtk and synaptic.
[05:45] <tiox> Normally they just use "monospace" but for theming I'd like something different. Any ideas?
[05:47] <lotuspsychje> !fonts | tiox can this help mate?
[05:51] <tiox> Not a direct answer, but probably the one I need. I'll piss about and see what i can do on my own before I ask for spoon-feeding.
[05:56] <tiox> Actually, I found another article online, but I am not sure how this would apply to Ubuntu (specifically, Ubuntu MATE but I assume being GTK3-based they'd share the same quirks between one another)
[05:56] <tiox> Where would I put in the code block shown here? https://makandracards.com/makandra/12437-how-to-set-the-default-monospace-font-on-xfce-xubuntu
[06:00] <tiox> Eh BRB
[06:07] <guiverc> tiox_, my box [18.10] has xfce (xubuntu), mate, gnome on it - I have no ~/.fonts.conf file on mine, but Xubuntu now is mostly GTK+3 (like GNOME), 6 years ago (your link) it was using GTK+2  (note: i'm no expert
[06:08] <tiox_> That's fine, I'm not asking for experts, I'm asking for answers.
[06:09] <guiverc> tiox_, maybe the closest files to that now on xubuntu are ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/  but that won't help your gnome anyway
[06:09] <tiox_> And like, if the response is "IDK because nobody does that" I use dpkg and apt in terminal anyway so it's no skin off my nose for not having a custom monospace font when using gdebi-gtk and synaptic but it would be nice for theming sake if there was a clear answer on how to do it.
[07:04] <AuroraAvenue> So, keep going Mark - I just wish you wouldn't use the Word "Disco" in your Operations. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4U5NIvbQeGI

[07:23] <Mrokii> Hello. This is a question about smplayer, not Ubuntu, so maybe I should ask in #ubuntu-offtopic... Anyhow, I was wondering if there is a way to have smplayer start with the audio-level set to higher than 50 percent. At them moment, each time I have to manually set it higher with every start of smplayer.
[07:33] <guiverc> Mrokii, I don't have SMPlayer installed, but this may help - https://askubuntu.com/questions/239958/how-to-boost-mplayer-smplayer-sound-in-lubuntu
[07:38] <guiverc> Mrokii, what Ubuntu version are you running?   I installed SMPlayer, had it start playing a file, quit, restarted played file, adjusted volume, exited, re-started & it continued a 85% volume (what I adjusted it to)
[07:39] <Mrokii> guiverc: It always is back to 50 percent for me. It was like this ever since I had installed it years ago, up to 18.10, which I'm using atm.
[07:40] <Mrokii> guiverc: I'll take a look at the link, thanks.
[07:40] <guiverc> me too [18.10]; but I just installed the program (though I believe I had it briefly during 18.10 lubuntu dev cycle), so my config is new
[07:42] <guiverc> Mrokii, you maybe able to adjust file ~/.config/smplayer/smplayer.ini to 'hack' what you want :)
[07:43] <guiverc> (ie. my newer defaults could be different to you, but there is a "volume=82" for mine (what I tried to set to 80%)
[07:46] <Mrokii> guiverc: I think I have found the relevant option in smplayer. There is "global volume". When not enabled, each file uses its own volume. After activating it, it seems to work now. :)
[07:47] <guiverc> :)    My smplayer.ini file has global_volume=true whatever that means..
[08:06] <golserma> Hi there I need some advice. I need a computer where clients sign (using a pen) a form inside a webapp. Is there any Ubuntu compatible hardware out there or do I have to buy an Android/iOS tablet for this?
[08:09] <ducasse> golserma: maybe a wacom tablet or something similar
[08:10] <golserma> Something like the Galaxy tab S3. Or Acer TravelMate Spin is on my list of maybe compatible hardware
[08:13] <guiverc> golserma, I've got a wacom pen (old motion-computing x86_64 tablet which came with pen) & apps use it as if a mouse - ie. ducasse's idea; it'd allow signing on the screen (I use it to draw usually)
[08:16] <golserma> guiverc, I have a wacom bamboo tablet it works great for me. I is not going to work for clients since you have to get used to not see the line
[08:18] <Mrokii> guiverc: I guess that is exactly the option I just activated. :)
[08:19] <tomreyn> golserma: i guess all you really need is a light-weight convertible laptop (which usually have a touchpad, too) running linux.
[08:19] <lazerlemon> hi
[08:20] <lazerlemon> greasy hairy nigger nutsack
[08:20] <golserma> tomreyn, maybe a refurbished thinkpad or something like this
[08:20] <lazerlemon> greasy hairy nigger nutsack
[08:20] <lazerlemon> lol
[08:20] <Ben64> !ops
[08:20] <lazerlemon> help!
[08:20] <lazerlemon> cum at me
[08:23] <spliffy> Hi there. I'm looking for a gui for filesystem snapshots. Would you recommend to use snapper on ubuntu?
[08:24] <spliffy> Or is there an ubuntu native solution?
[08:41] <illuminaughtyy> boop
[08:42] <spliffy> betty?
[08:51] <ducasse> spliffy: i use snapper, there are a couple of guis for it on github iirc
[08:56] <solsTiCe> hi; All of a sudden my 16.04 LTS ubuntu prompts me to upgrade to 18.04. Is there any problem doing that ?
[08:57] <dingir_> HALLOWEEN
[08:57] <EriC^> solsTiCe: no it's fine to upgrade
[08:57] <EriC^> !cookies | dingir_
[08:57] <dingir_> !!11
[09:19] <spliffy> ducasse: Yes, i have found snapper-gui for example. Does snapper work well in principle?
[09:20] <ducasse> it seems to do the job well enough
[09:21] <Cursarion> hi, I'm not getting any sound through HDMI, and I tried some of the basic stuff in first google results, like aplay, speaker-test and alsamixer, but nothing's worked so far. aplay recognizes the card, none of the S/PDIFs are muted in alsamixer, and it even shows up in pavucontrol. I can select a profile under Configuration, and a device shows up under output devices, but if a switch playback to it ...
[09:21] <Cursarion> ... from built-in analog stereo, there just is no sound
[09:21] <Cursarion> any ideas?
[09:21] <Cursarion> if I switch a playback to it *
[09:22] <Cursarion> the display speaker shouldn't be muted as far as I understand. Volume's set to 100.
[09:22] <Cursarion> picture works fine
[09:23] <e_motion> hey @ all
[09:32] <geodb27> People : hi ! I run a kubuntu 18.04 laptop and face a problem with something wiping /tmp after some services are launched at boot time. How can I identify what is responsible for this ? I've disabled both systemd-tmpfiles-clean.service and systemd-tmpfiles-clean.timer without success and am out of ideas to solve this issue.
[09:33] <EriC^> geodb27: did you try manually wiping it?
[09:33] <hateball> geodb27: so you do *not* want /tmp to be wiped after reboot?
[09:34] <geodb27> EriC^: No. To be more specific, I have the snap version of lxd which creates a folder in /tmp and bind-mount this folder somewhere. This part works fine. The problem is that *something* wipes out /tmp, including this folder, and thus, the lxd daemon has a broken mount point.
[09:35] <geodb27> indeed hateball !
[09:35] <EriC^> geodb27: can you configure it to bind mount somewhere else maybe?
[09:36] <geodb27> I don't think so. And, well, by design, it is the right place for the lxd's bind mount to be.
[09:36] <hateball> geodb27: seems you can edit /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf to exclude mountpoints
[09:36] <hateball> (I have not tested)
[09:37] <geodb27> if it was not a randomly-generated folder's name, that would be a good idea indeed hateball...
[09:37] <EriC^> how random? maybe you can use wildcards
[09:40] <ment0s> Is it possible to PCI passthrough entire PCI USB controller to libvirt by just attaching it to vm ?
[09:40] <hateball> geodb27: It supports wildcards, unless it is *really* random that should work I think?
[09:41] <geodb27> Oh, so, let me give it a try :-) Thanks a lot !
[09:41] <fireba11> hi, my ubuntu 18.04 desktops fails to wake up after stand-by (and proceeds to boot normally). any pointers what could be the cause? works fine on my notebook :-P
[09:43] <geodb27> Heading for a reboot and see what it does.
[09:51] <mikecmpbll> i'm trying to understand how /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg is used, as i have modifications during a package update. i can see it's something to do with CloudInit but can't find anything explicitly saying how it's settings are used?
[09:52] <mikecmpbll> on boot, or something? :/
[09:57] <noobzki> why is ubuntu getting more and more bloated and slow by each release. just tested 18.04 and its utterly slow. same pc|hw running windows is loke 1/2 time faster.
[09:59] <ment0s> noobzki: I moved from Fedora to 18.10 with gnome 3.30. It's blazing fast !  Gnome had some performance issues which were resolved in 3.30. Highly recommended
[09:59] <ment0s> noobzki: also apt install preload will speed things up if you have fair ammount of RAM

[11:06] <swampcat> I am suer the PS3 issue is a config file but not sure which, google-fu failing me
[11:08] <EriC^^> eeos: yes, i had

[11:10] <EriC^^> eeos: no problem
[11:11] <zesterer> Hi all. I'm having an issue with an Acer Aspire ES1 553. Whenever I attempt to install, the live CD freezes
[11:11] <zesterer> After some more investigation, I've discovered it's because GRUB attempts to write to NVRAM
[11:11] <tachikomas> zesterer, where exactly ?
[11:11] <zesterer> I've managed to install GRUB with the --no-nvram flag
[11:12] <EriC^^> zesterer: might be when it's adding the uefi entry
[11:12] <zesterer> Yes, that's the issue
[11:12] <zesterer> I managed to get it working earlier - installed GRUB with --no-nvram and it managed to boot Ubuntu
[11:12] <EriC^^> great
[11:12] <EriC^^> thanks for sharing
[11:12] <zesterer> But when I installed something (I think Dropbox from the repos) the compute froze
[11:13] <tachikomas> can you pastebin /var/log/syslog ?
[11:13] <zesterer> My theory is that for some reason the installation needed to install extra kernel modules or something which - somewhere along the line - invoked GRUB
[11:13] <zesterer> The problem is that GRUB is now borked and won't boot Ubuntu anymore
[11:13] <zesterer> Since it presumably crashed in the middle of reconfiguring GRUB
[11:13] <EriC^^> borked how
[11:13] <zesterer> It just drops me to the GRUB shell
[11:14] <zesterer> I can reinstall GRUB using a live CD
[11:14] <EriC^^> can you talk here while the pc is in grub shell?
[11:14] <zesterer> But how do I go about permanently preventing Ubuntu writing to nvram?
[11:14] <zesterer> I'm talking here using my Thinkpad. The Acer is owned by my girlfriend.
[11:15] <EriC^^> can you get on the acer right now?
[11:15] <zesterer> Yes
[11:15] <zesterer> But not Ubuntu yet
[11:15] <zesterer> I'd have to reinstall GRUB
[11:15] <EriC^^> ok, in the grub shell type "echo $prefix"
[11:16] <zesterer> Okay
[11:17] <zesterer> @EriC^^ I get (hd0,gpt5)/boot/grub
[11:17] <EriC^^> zesterer: looks good
[11:17] <EriC^^> zesterer: try typing "configfile $prefix/grub.cfg"
[11:19] <zesterer> EriC^^: Okay, that worked.
[11:19] <zesterer> I'm now at the Ubuntu GRUB
[11:19] <zesterer> And now Ubuntu because I forgot about the timeout
[11:19] <EriC^^> zesterer: ok
[11:20] <EriC^^> zesterer: try uploading /var/log/apt/term.log to get some insight into the problem
[11:20] <zesterer> Okay
[11:20] <zesterer> Might be a few minutes
[11:22] <zesterer> EriC^^: As I expected, the last entry in the log is "Installing for x86_64-efi platform"
[11:22] <zesterer> i.e: GRUB tried reinstalling itself, touched nvram, and died
[11:22] <zesterer> Or reconfiguring itself, idk
[11:23] <EriC^^> ah
[11:23] <zesterer> Entry before that is "Setting up grub-efi-amd64-signed (1.93.8+2.02-2ubuntu8.7) ..."
[11:23] <EriC^^> this is a long shot but maybe turning off secure boot or some other option in the bios might help?
[11:24] <zesterer> Secure Boot is already disabled
[11:24] <zesterer> (I'm running Ubuntu Budgie so I needed to disable it)
[11:25] <zesterer> Would disabling the TLP help?
[11:28] <zesterer> EriC^^: Is there a way to just tell GRUB never to touch nvram? AFAIK that should solve the problem
[11:29] <zesterer> I imagine that the nvram issue is just a case of a really crappy hardware implementation (thanks Acer)
[11:31] <EriC^^> zesterer: maybe you could use another efi loader like refind
[11:33] <zesterer> EriC^^: How would I go about doing that? Can it be told not to touch nvram?
[11:33] <EriC^^> yeah i think it wont do anything without you telling it to (like updates and stuff)
[11:34] <EriC^^> http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/
[11:34] <zesterer> Oh that's cool. I'll give it a go, thanks
[11:35] <EriC^^> zesterer: i wonder if you just remove the grub packages if that'll work (and backup the files then manually copy them)
[11:36] <EriC^^> basically when grub-install is being run it finally runs efibootmgr to add the entry and it crashes
[11:37] <zesterer> EriC^^: That's possible I guess. What would I remove? Just efibootmgr, or grub as well?
[11:37] <EriC^^> update-grub should work without problems cause it just makes the config
[11:38] <EriC^^> zesterer: yeah, grub-efi-amd64-bin and efibootmgr
[11:38] <EriC^^> and grub-efi-amd64 and grub-efi-amd64-signed
[11:38] <EriC^^> they all are related dependency wise
[11:39] <swampcat> let me rephrase my PS3 prob
[11:39] <EriC^^> you'd need to keep the efi partition files intact, as well as /boot/grub/grub.cfg and /etc/default/grub and /etc/grub.d/* files so that update-grub still works
[11:40] <EriC^^> zesterer: i'd run the grub-install with --nvram stuff first and get it booting properly then try the workaround
[11:41] <swampcat> Sony PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller aka input 24 registers as input,hidraw3: BLUETOOTH HID v80.00 Joystick but Sony PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller Motion Sensors aka input 24 does not, anyone know where to look for an answer?

[11:52] <gnmk> or is there any other channel, I need to join for Install Ubuntu on Mac?
[11:52] <swampcat> gnmk you have a mix of USB 3 and 2 ports?  and does mac use efi?
[11:53] <gnmk> swampcat: Thanks for reply, I have USB 2 and Mac uses efi .
[11:56] <swampcat> ok, for an Asus gl503 I had to only use the usb2 port(one of four, rest are 3) to boot you might try all ports first

[12:07] <giaco> hello. Could you please help me in recovering my sshd server in local lan? "sudo netstat -peanut | grep LISTEN" shows 0.0.0.0:22, "sudo service ssh status" shows active (running), "sudo ufw status" shows 22 allow. The host is on the network because it is a 2 ethernet device that bridges my home connection (is a transparent firewall) and all the devices behind the firewall are able to connect so the frames are passing through the
[12:07] <giaco>  bridge. I'm out of ideas
[12:08] <giaco> also: ssh -p 22 localhost on local terminal works

[12:14] <EriC^^> "." just means current directory
[12:14] <EriC^^> usually, i dont use git much
[12:16] <eviladmin> go one level up and git clone foo target
[12:17] <Sourcey> eviladmin: that worked, thanks
[12:19] <eviladmin> Sourcey: sidenote: there were probably some existing .files in the dir you were in
[12:20] <eviladmin> other solution is to git init, add the remote and then pull
[12:47] <Boxer-d> hi,i setted icon in the 16.04. upgrade 18.04.Now,my icon has been changed.how do i fix it? https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/IUT36gTs/irccloudcapture-1560752976.jpg
[12:48] <Illuminaughtyy> Anyone know why it always boots me to the unregged version of this channel?
[12:49] <EriC^^> Illuminaughtyy: your irc client joins before it identifies your nickname to services
[12:51] <Illuminaughtyy> ah
[12:51] <Illuminaughtyy> any way to add a pause or something? Only happens in this channel and hamradio
[12:52] <EriC^^> i think there's a different way of logging into freenode that can really get the job done
[12:53] <EriC^^> i think it's SSL i forget the name, but supposedly it's used also so you don't join with your actual IP and then have to part/join to get the unaffiliated type of ip stuff
[12:53] <EriC^^> ask in #freenode Illuminaughtyy
[12:53] <Illuminaughtyy> ok
[12:57] <banisterfiend> anyone know what this does? ${!var} ?
[12:57] <banisterfiend> i know that ${var} interpolates, but what does the ! mean
[12:58] <EriC^^> banisterfiend: ask in #bash ?

[13:36] <zesterer> EriC^^: Hi. It's me again. Just wanted to say thanks for helping me. I've removed efibootmgr (and replaced it with an empty file in the filesystem such that apt will complain if something else tries to accidentally install on top of it). So far, no issues. Thanks!
[14:22] <carlino3> hello
[14:23] <carlino3> im trying to install mysql-server package on ubuntu 17.04 (yeah, i know it is an EOL version but this is a live usb with persistence only for testing purposes)
[14:23] <carlino3> im getting issues when running mysqld, " libaio.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
[14:24] <carlino3> library are installed, ldd locates all libraries correctly. packages libaio1 and libaio-dev are instaled
[14:24] <carlino3> i also readed that apparmor could cause this issue, so i removed and purged apparmor
[14:24] <carlino3> but the issue persist
[14:24] <carlino3> i dont know what to do. if someone can help me that will be greatly appreciated.
[14:25] <tomreyn> carlino3: why don't you just download a supported version and try with that?
[14:25] <RNM> It looks like a 32/64 bit mismatch.. make sure you have correct architecture version
[14:25] <carlino3> tomreyn: because i had this ISO already downloaded in my computer and i didn't have time to download the last version ISO
[14:26] <carlino3> RNM: could be, but it is supposed that apt fetch the package version that matches your architecture, right?
[14:27] <RNM> and after purge appamor, try to uninstall mysql and reinstall
[14:27] <carlino3> i did that.. removed and purged mysql like fifty times
[14:27] <carlino3> but the same :(
[14:28] <carlino3> how can i check the architecture version of the shared object?
[14:28] <RNM> sudo apt-get install libaio1
[14:28] <carlino3> it is installed
[14:28] <carlino3> i will purge it and reinstall just in case
[14:29] <RNM> hurm
[14:29] <carlino3> nah the same
[14:30] <sazawal> Hello. I want to check if a string begins with a given keyword in bash. I have used <if [[ "$string" == $keyword* ]]> to check the pattern. But I found that if the keyword (and also the string) contains square brackets then I get no match. For example keyword="Chapter[1]" and string="Chapter[1] Section-1", doesn't give a match. What I am doing wrong?
[14:31] <carlino3> sazawal: /join #bash
[14:31] <sazawal> carlino3, Thanks, didn't know there is a separate room of bash.
[14:31] <carlino3> sazawal: no problem :)
[14:32] <carlino3> sazawal: there is a channel almost for everything, so make sure that you find the right to ask your question
[14:32] <sazawal> carlino3, Right.
[14:32] <OerHeks> is there a channel for EOL ubuntu versions too?
[14:33] <carlino3> haha
[14:34] <carlino3> no chances to make an EOL upgrade from the live usb right?
[14:34] <lotuspsychje> !eolupgrade | carlino3
[14:35] <carlino3> so no :(
[14:36] <carlino3> kop
[14:36] <carlino3>  /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libaio.so.1 <-- this is the path of the library that outputs ldd
[14:36] <carlino3> the library is located there
[14:36] <lotuspsychje> !who | carlino3
[14:36] <usualrise> Hi, My system gets freezed most of the time I run two node processes. Is their any way to know where my system lacks - HDD, RAM, CPU ?
[14:37] <lotuspsychje> !dmesg | usualrise
[14:37] <carlino3> but it is a symlink to "libaio.so.1.0.1", which has permissions set to -rw-r--r--
[14:37] <carlino3> can this be the issue?
[14:37] <carlino3> lotuspsychje: im talking to anybody who wants to help
[14:38] <usualrise> lotuspsychje: I ran the dmesg command. Should I share the result here cause I can't figure out anything from it?
[14:39] <lotuspsychje> carlino3: try to form a question that everyone can reply on mate, start from the beginning, what are you trying to do
[14:39] <lotuspsychje> usualrise: sure, share in a pastebin to the channel, volunteers can have a look for you
[14:40] <carlino3> lotuspsychje:  i did, just scroll up the chat
[14:40] <lotuspsychje> usualrise: can you please also mention your ubuntu version, kernel, when did it start to happen?
[14:40] <carlino3> [14:23] <carlino3> im trying to install mysql-server package on ubuntu 17.04 [...]
[14:40] <carlino3> ^^
[14:40] <lotuspsychje> carlino3: we dont support EOL versions mate
[14:41] <usualrise> Here it is - http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/rt4xwrb2CD/
[14:41] <carlino3> lotuspsychje: but i dont think that this issue has anything to do with that
[14:41] <fireba11> hi, my ubuntu 18.04 desktops fails to wake up after stand-by (and proceeds to boot normally). any pointers what could be the cause? works fine on my notebook :-P
[14:42] <leftyfb> carlino3: then try it with 18.04.
[14:42] <pragmaticenigma> carlino3: 17.04 is no longer supported
[14:42] <fireba11> pragmaticenigma: he knows :-D
[14:42] <carlino3> how can the chooses of the developers on not suporting it anymore has anything to do with this issue?
[14:42] <pragmaticenigma> fireba11: please don't speak for others
[14:43] <lotuspsychje> usualrise: your dmesg shows kernel .36 can you check if your system is up to date?
[14:43] <leftyfb> carlino3: since 17.04 is not supported anymore, you will not find help here while you are still running 17.04.
[14:43] <usualrise> lotuspsychje: I am using Ubuntu 16.04
[14:43] <lotuspsychje> usualrise: oh ok
[14:43] <pragmaticenigma> carlino3: This channel focuses on versions of Ubuntu that are actively supported and receiving updates from Canonical.
[14:43] <carlino3> ok, will try to figure out myself. thanks anyway
[14:43] <carlino3> understood
[14:44] <leftyfb> carlino3: or upgrade to a supported version
[14:44] <leftyfb> carlino3: why won't you upgrade?
[14:44] <lotuspsychje> usualrise: can you provide us more details of your freeze, what happens at wich point? perhaps try a htop session to see whats going on?
[14:44] <carlino3> im lazy to download the last version ISO... that will take a while and i had this ISO already on my system
[14:44] <carlino3> as i said, i only want to run a live USB with persistence for developing purposes
[14:45] <compdoc> carlino3, if the package isnt there because that version of Ubuntu is no longer supported, there are other ways to intall mysql, mariadb, or any other program
[14:45] <pragmaticenigma> carlino3: The software repositories have all been taken offline, you can't install something that no longer is available
[14:45] <leftyfb> carlino3: developing on an outdated platform is unwise
[14:45] <usualrise> lotuspsychje: I ran a project of Java in netbeans and ran the meteor project (which runs 2 node processes) evrything from there started working slowly like cursor clicks, app switching etc.
[14:45] <carlino3> compdoc: it is there! im having issues when running the daemon wiht a shared library
[14:45] <carlino3> pragmaticenigma: there are still online on old-versions.ubuntu.com
[14:45] <usualrise> carlino3: Which version of Ubuntu are you using?
[14:46] <carlino3> usualrise: 17.03 is the iso that i have, i dont run ubuntu on my "real" computer
[14:46] <pragmaticenigma> carlino3: there is no such domain
[14:46] <carlino3> 17.04*
[14:46] <compdoc> V, I think theres a mysql channel for support. doesnt sound like an EOL issue then. or even an ubuntu issue
[14:46] <leftyfb> carlino3: it is outdated and unsupported. There is no legitimate reason to continue using it. It will only lead to more issues.
[14:46] <compdoc> carlino3  ^
[14:46] <carlino3> pragmaticenigma: i mean, old-releases.ubuntu.com
[14:47] <lotuspsychje> usualrise: just for a check, your graphics drivers installed correctly?
[14:47] <carlino3> compdoc: yeah, that is what im saying. it is not happening because the EOL version! good idea, will try on mysql if i can get any clue
[14:47] <pragmaticenigma> carlino3: Debating this further is pointless. Ubuntu no longer supports the 17.04 edition. What you have located is an archive for reference, they are not intended to be used anymore. The software repositories for APT have been taken offline, which means you won't be able to install software from them or receive updates. Also, given the recent exploits of software, it is very unwise to be running that version of
[14:48] <pragmaticenigma> Ubuntu.
[14:48] <usualrise> lotuspsychje: I don't know about it. Is their any command to check?
[14:48] <brandor5> hello everyone: I have an 1804 system with multiple network interfaces that configure with dhcp. Is there a way to have netplan ignore the default gateway from the second interface?
[14:48] <carlino3> pragmaticenigma: of course i wont! like i said, it is a testing environment and it wont be running on any production system
[14:48] <pragmaticenigma> carlino3: This past week a SEVERE vulnerability was found in MySQL Server and Client software. 17.04 will not receive those updates and fixes.
[14:49] <compdoc> carlino3, the logs should hold clues
[14:49] <lotuspsychje> usualrise: sudo lshw -C video (behind driver=)
[14:49] <carlino3> i dont care, it is a testing environment.
[14:50] <leftyfb> carlino3: ok, good luck
[14:50] <usualrise> lotuspsychje: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/V4KS6VySGX/
[14:50] <pragmaticenigma> carlino3: Then your option here is to take this conversation elsewhere. It's not supported here, please stop.
[14:50] <lotuspsychje> usualrise: ah, your not using an nvidia driver
[14:51] <lotuspsychje> usualrise: what shows ubuntu-drivers list ?
[14:51] <carlino3> pragmaticenigma: you are making this "conversation", i said goodbye like 10 minutes ago.. XD
[14:52] <usualrise> lotuspsychje: I don't know
[14:52] <lotuspsychje> usualrise: from a terminal mate: ubuntu-drivers list
[14:53] <usualrise> lotuspsychje: nvidia-384
[14:54] <lotuspsychje> usualrise: try sudo apt install nvidia-384
[14:55] <tomreyn> brandor5: https://bugs.launchpad.net/netplan/+bug/1759014
[14:55] <usualrise> lotuspsychje: But why would a node process use graphics? Isn't it RAM, CPU intensive?
[14:56] <brandor5> tomreyn: thanks
[14:56] <tomreyn> brandor5: so your workarounds there are: use a static configuration for the second NIC, do not use netplan (for now).
[14:57] <brandor5> tomreyn: much appreciateed
[14:58] <lotuspsychje> usualrise: im not sure yet whats going on, just doing some testing out what could be wrong
[14:58] <tomreyn> brandor5: you're welcome
[15:00] <hnsz2002> hi all! i try to create a preseed config for automated installations, but i ahve trouble with partitioning
[15:00] <hnsz2002> here is the config: http://preseed.unreachable.hu/ubuntu-16.04-server.preseed
[15:01] <tomreyn> hnsz2002: i assume you're aware that 18.04 is out?
[15:01] <hnsz2002> so, my problem is, the installer absolutely ignore priority, and maximum size
[15:01] <hnsz2002> in this situation, /boot is created with this fixed size, no problem
[15:02] <hnsz2002> but, the root created with minimum size (5G), and all of remaining space on the disk is used by /home
[15:02] <hnsz2002> with is currently 224G
[15:03] <lotuspsychje> usualrise: at wich point did your ubuntu system worked well before?
[15:03] <hnsz2002> it is not matter how i adjust the priority betwheen them, i tried many numbers
[15:03] <hnsz2002> my simply question is, why? :D
[15:04] <hnsz2002> sorry, i linked wrong file
[15:04] <hnsz2002> http://preseed.unreachable.hu/ubuntu-16.04-desktop.preseed
[15:04] <hnsz2002> this
[15:06] <usualrise> lotuspsychje: Everytime before starting those projects
[15:06] <lotuspsychje> usualrise: so we can say its your prject related then?
[15:07] <usualrise> lotuspsychje: Yes
[15:08] <usualrise> lotuspsychje: I have decent configured laptop so no point of getting slow when running multiple projects
[15:09] <usualrise> Also, same project on macbook runs flawlessly
[15:09] <ocx32>  hi all, i need to bridge my vms like this  https://wiki.hetzner.de/images/9/99/X-route.png can i do that with virtualbox and linux host?
[15:09] <lotuspsychje> usualrise: can you tell us more details of your installs/project? ppa's?
[15:10] <usualrise> Yes, I am developing a meteor project (close to 50K lines of code) and "meteor" command is used to run it. The project's stack is - react + meteor + mongoDB
[15:12] <usualrise> System gets slow for few mintues after starting project and sometimes gets freezed too. Chrome + meteor gets the shit out of my system
[15:14] <me80iq> Hey I'm dual booted with windows. My trackpad only works on ubuntu if I restart from windows and then go to ubuntu. If I'm in ubuntu and restart into ubuntu it won't work. If I turn off the computer for awhile and then boot into ubuntu it will work either way. Anyone know anything about this?
[15:14] <pragmaticenigma> usualrise: please mind your language here
[15:14] <lotuspsychje> usualrise: how did you install all those packages
[15:15] <k_sze> Is there anything special about the system uid range?
[15:15] <usualrise> pragmaticenigma: Ok, I was unaware of the language rules/guidelines here.
[15:15] <pragmaticenigma> They're in the topic usualrise ... take a look when you can
[15:16] <pragmaticenigma> k_sze: Can you provide more details, the question is hard to answer without some context
[15:16] <usualrise> lotuspsychje: I installed meter as suggested by official website (running a shell script mainly) and after that for all the packages - I installed them using command - meteor npm install <pkg-name>
[15:17] <k_sze> pragmaticenigma: the `adduser` command has a `--system` option. The man page says it will create a system user with a uid in the "system uid range".
[15:17] <k_sze> But what's so special about a user's uid being in the system uid range?
[15:18] <pragmaticenigma> k_sze: typically the first 1000 UIDs are reserved for system processes. There is nothing special, other than some applications may have been configured by their developer to use the UID to determine if the application is being run as a system process
[15:19] <usualrise> pragmaticenigma: Just read them. Sorry if my lang hurted you in any way.
[15:19] <pragmaticenigma> k_sze: There are also some instances where applications will install their own UID/GID to make it easier for the application to identify its child processes. That's mostly why the option is made available
[15:19] <k_sze> What counts as a system process? systemd or SysV init services?
[15:20] <lotuspsychje> usualrise: is this a bit how you installed things? https://www.vultr.com/docs/how-to-setup-a-meteor-js-web-application-with-mongodb-and-apache-on-ubuntu-16-04-lts
[15:21] <usualrise> lotuspsychje: Things which I am using, yes the same way.
[15:22] <lotuspsychje> usualrise: i think we should troubleshoot the services seperatly, perhaps asking in their channels what could be wrong? #meteor #httpd for example
[15:23] <lotuspsychje> usualrise: as your ubuntu system works fine without your project, i would go trace deeper into your project
[15:25] <usualrise> lotuspsychje: Ok taking the issue to #meteor community. Thanks for your help :)
[15:25] <lotuspsychje> usualrise: perhaps for testing purposes, you could also play with different versions

[16:17] <conall> Hi. I created  file in my home directory while as root. The permissions of said file are 0755, owner=root, group=root. However I can delete this file using my regular non-root user after a "remove write-protected file?" warning. Why can I remove this file when it appears I do not have write access? (There is no guid bit set on my home dir)
[16:18] <limbo_> Is there any way to get an indication of if my caps-lock/num-lock is active? (using ubuntu 18.04 with GNOME3) there is no light on my keyboard to indicate. I used to use indicator-lockkeys, but that was a unity thing.
[16:19] <ducasse> limbo_: 'xset .q'
[16:20] <ducasse> limbo_: look under 'xkb indicators'
[16:20] <tomtom-> conall: You are allowed to do anything to a directory and its content when you are the owner of that directory.
[16:21] <gc> Hi there! I installed 18.04 (minimal installer), plus xorg, xserver-xorg-core, and openbox. When I ssh -Y into my machine I can run some X programs (e.g., xeyes, gedit, jabref), but not others (e.g. browsers). If I run firefox, the terminal hangs; if I run chromium, a completely empty panel opens (no buttons/anything else). Can anyone help? Can you think of any driver/package I'm missing?
[16:22] <tomtom-> Well, you won't be able to modify the file own by root tho, so it's not entirely correct to say that you can do anything.
[16:22] <conall> tomtom-: I thought that was only if the gid bit was set on that dir?
[16:23] <conall> tomtom-: of maybe its uid, I cant remember, but neither is set
[16:23] <tomtom-> Nah, if your user has write access to a directory you are also able to delete files within that directory.
[16:23] <tomtom-> You can probably find more detailed answers by Googling :)
[16:24] <conall> I see, I did not know that. Thanks
[16:28] <nacc> gc: for firefox, possibly https://www.systutorials.com/240915/run-firefox-on-remote-host-over-ssh/ ?
[16:32] <limbo_> ducasse: I was thinking something more DE integrated. I found a plugn for GNOME though. xset will be very useful in the future though.
[16:33] <limbo_> gc: how fast is your net connection to the server running firefox? Also, firefox will just open on your local machine, if it's already running. (communicates via the X server)
[16:33] <limbo_> NX/SPICE exist, and wold probably give you better performance for remotely running single applications.
[16:35] <ducasse> limbo_: there is gkrellm-xkb if you use gkrellm
[16:44] <gc> nacc: thanks, unfortunately nothing happens
[16:45] <gc> limbo_: it's a VM, so it's fast. The weird thing is that some applications can run, others cannot. That's why I think it could be a driver/package issue rather than ssh config
[16:45] <gc> (*it's a VM on my machine)
[16:45] <nacc> gc: why would you ssh -Y to a vm on your machine? :)
[16:46] <nacc> gc: rather than just using spice or one of the intentional remote graphic options
[16:47] <gc> I'm on openbsd, and the VM manager doesn't support X; secondly, I work from tmux, and ssh is far more convenient
[16:47] <gc> But I can try out spice for debugging
[16:47] <OerHeks> !DiscoDingo
[16:52] <nacc> gc: so you're not using ubuntu?
[16:53] <gc> nacc: it's a ubuntu vm
[16:53] <nacc> gc: i see. it's not clear what, if any, compatibility issues there might be there. Others have reported the link i gave works for them.
[16:56] <gc> nacc: dbus (in the link you mentioned) is a good call, but the problem persists. I think the problem is related to some X-like package/library I'm missing. I installed ubuntu with the "minimal installer", and I was hoping to figure out if there's any X stuff I'm missing
[17:03] <rfm> gc, could be you're missing a bunch of fonts (like all the ones firefox wants to use..)    We used to get those empty frames on systems with broken font engines back in the day.
[17:05] <gc> rfm: great idea, I'll try that, thanks!
[17:05] <rfm> gc, unless that VM is really constrained for space, it would be easiest to just install a full desktop.  you could set the default target to multi-user instead of graphical so nothing would actually run.
[17:07] <murthy> qtcreator shows "No documentation available." even after installing qt5-doc qtbase5-doc packages
[17:08] <gc> rfm: yes, I know. I was trying to keep it low in space -- need to run a few of them, but I'll do that if this fails
[17:09] <seven-eleven> hello, should I upgrade to 18.04 if I'm still on 16.04?
[17:09] <OerHeks> seven-eleven, you *could*
[17:10] <seven-eleven> mhm, is it recommendable though?
[17:10] <OerHeks> as 18.04 reached the .1 version, sure
[17:10] <OerHeks> 18.04.1
[17:10] <seven-eleven> ahh, then I go for it, thanks
[17:10] <OerHeks> read the releasenotes, on forehand
[17:11] <seven-eleven> they don't package firefox-trunk for 16.04 anymore
[17:11] <seven-eleven> ok I read the releasenotes before

[17:55] <Anthaas> Hi - I have a machine with 4 HDDs, I used mdadm to create a partition spread across the 4 devices, sda4, sdb, sdc, and sdd. SDA contains, among things, the OS installation. I need to reinstall the OS in that partition without losing any data whatsoever across the main partition. Is this possible?
[18:00] <seven-eleven> hi
[18:00] <seven-eleven> I get this error: No valid sources.list entry found
[18:00] <seven-eleven> While scanning your repository information no entry about artful
[18:00] <seven-eleven> could be found.
[18:01] <seven-eleven> When I click continue anyway it asks me the same question always again
[18:01] <OerHeks> Artful is EOl, dead
[18:01] <OerHeks> !artful
[18:01] <seven-eleven> what should I do? this is my sources.list: http://termbin.com/1atl
[18:02] <seven-eleven> hmm
[18:02] <afx_> desudesudesudesu, OerHeks https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/mvgDy89jSS/
[18:03] <OerHeks> you seems to have xenial, 16.04 LTS, with one funny bionic line
[18:03] <ducasse> seven-eleven: what does 'lsb_release -d' say?
[18:03] <seven-eleven> ducasse, says Description:    Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
[18:04] <seven-eleven> im stuck here http://dpaste.com/33RDFCC
[18:04] <OerHeks> afx_, intel 520 is supported by your kernel, standard, that is oke
[18:06] <pragmaticenigma> seven-eleven: what is the contents of the /etc/apt/sources.list.d folder?
[18:06] <afx_> OerHeks, so nothing to do here ? Also how can i find this myself (I mean support by kernel x ) ?
[18:06] <seven-eleven> pragmaticenigma, http://termbin.com/lhmx
[18:07] <pragmaticenigma> seven-eleven: check in the bareos and nodesource files, see if any of them make references to artful
[18:07] <seven-eleven> pragmaticenigma, bareos has 16.04 ref
[18:08] <seven-eleven> should i change to 18.04?
[18:08] <seven-eleven> baeros has 18.04 support
[18:08] <OerHeks> afx_, man intel http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man4/intel.4.html - supported hardware
[18:08] <pragmaticenigma> seven-eleven: You should check with the maintainer of that repo to see what are the proper steps to updating to bionic.
[18:08] <seven-eleven> pragmaticenigma, ok how can i finish 18.04 upgrade though?
[18:09] <afx_> OerHeks, thank you very much !
[18:09] <seven-eleven> pragmaticenigma, there's no artful ref
[18:09] <OerHeks> afx_, intel *might* give updated drivers, but i would not risc that, unless you have a reason
[18:09] <pragmaticenigma> seven-eleven: Since the maintainer is resposible for support, we can't properly recommend what your next step should be since 3rd party PPAs are not supported. The only thing I can recommend is to disable that repo
[18:09] <seven-eleven> ok
[18:09] <pragmaticenigma> seven-eleven: after disable, run apt update, then try your upgrade again
[18:09] <OerHeks> https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005520/graphics-drivers.html
[18:10] <afx_> OerHeks, I have choppy graphics with ca 50% workload
[18:10] <afx_> so this is why I am asking
[18:11] <pragmaticenigma> Is anyone aware of a channel for MythTV support on Ubuntu. All the listed channels are offline/invite only
[18:11] <seven-eleven> pragmaticenigma, now my source.lsit changed
[18:11] <seven-eleven> everything is xenial
[18:11] <seven-eleven> let me delete the source.list and write bionic inside, then i try again
[18:12] <tgm4883> pragmaticenigma: #mythtv-users
[18:12] <pragmaticenigma> Why are you manually changing source.list?
[18:12] <pragmaticenigma> seven-eleven: Why are you manually changing source.list?
[18:12] <seven-eleven> pragmaticenigma, the installer changed source.list
[18:12] <pragmaticenigma> There shouldn't be any reason that you are manually modifying that list
[18:12] <seven-eleven> didnt do anything *yet*
[18:13] <pragmaticenigma> tgm4883: The question I have is specific to something that was in the mythubuntu packages... so I don't know if they'll be able to help
[18:13] <tgm4883> pragmaticenigma: what's the question?
[18:14] <Anthaas> Hi - I have a machine with 4 HDDs, I used mdadm to create a partition spread across the 4 devices, sda4, sdb, sdc, and sdd. SDA contains, among things, the OS installation. I need to reinstall the OS in that partition without losing any data whatsoever across the main partition. Is this possible?
[18:15] <tgm4883> pragmaticenigma: You can ask here or in #mythtv-users  While there's less people in #mythtv-users, the vase majority of mythtv users are Ubuntu users so they might be able to assist
[18:15] <pragmaticenigma> There was a MySQL optimize script that came with the Mythbuntu control center. I've been having issues when I have heavy disk activity that MySQL timesout
[18:16] <seven-eleven> pragmaticenigma, ok i see what happened. when it failed it switched back the source.list to xenial
[18:16] <pragmaticenigma> I'm not sure if that script did anything in the past, however, I never had any issues with MySQL and MythTV until bionic
[18:16] <tgm4883> pragmaticenigma: IIRC, the mysql optimize script is actually from mythtv devs. The control centre I think just added it to a cron job
[18:16] <pragmaticenigma> seven-eleven: Hence why I don't recommend manually changing it. There are automated tools that change that file
[18:16] <seven-eleven> pragmaticenigma, i didnt change it manually
[18:17] <pragmaticenigma> seven-eleven: okay
[18:17] <seven-eleven> pragmaticenigma, what should I do now, cancel installer with ctrl c?
[18:17] <tgm4883> pragmaticenigma: it's a perl script that gets run https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/User_Manual:Periodic_Maintenance#Optimize_the_Database
[18:17] <pragmaticenigma> seven-eleven: I'm missing part of the conversation earlier. I caught the very first few sentences and what was said since I joined. I just made an assumption that there was 3rd party PPA might be causing the hang up
[18:18] <seven-eleven> pragmaticenigma, i only upgraded from 16.04 to 18.04
[18:18] <tgm4883> pragmaticenigma: Not sure what issues you're having, but I'd ask in #mythtv-users or on the mythtv-users mailing list
[18:19] <seven-eleven> basically lsb_release -a shows 18.04 but source.list is showing xenial now
[18:19] <tgm4883> pragmaticenigma: oh, and run packages from the updates PPA as is recommended
[18:19] <seven-eleven> and when I do now do-release-upgrade, i get  "Checking for a new Ubuntu release No new release found."
[18:20] <pragmaticenigma> tgm4883: the problem I'm experiencing isn't specific to mythtv though, it's manifesting as issues with other operations and mysql... I have applications accessing MySQL and during heavy disk write (example: transcodes with MythTV) I get timeouts and lock issues with MySQL
[18:20] <pragmaticenigma> tgm4883: I thought that there was something in that script from control centre that optimized mysql settings
[18:20] <seven-eleven> pragmaticenigma, i changed now source.list manually and did apt-upgade then apt upgrade, and theres no error
[18:20] <seven-eleven> so i assume installation compelted successfully?
[18:20] <pragmaticenigma> tgm4883: what you're directing me towards appears to be table maintaince
[18:21] <Ridley55> hi all
[18:21] <pragmaticenigma> seven-eleven: I have no idea how to verify
[18:21] <Ridley55> any alternative about gnome-network tool for XUbuntu 18.04LTS ?
[18:22] <tgm4883> pragmaticenigma: one sec
[18:23] <Ridley55> i need a tool to make some command like: whois / dig / MX lookup in a graphical mode
[18:23] <tgm4883> pragmaticenigma: yea there are some tweaks that get created too. These are them https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mythbuntu-dev/mythbuntu/mythbuntu-common/view/head:/examples/mythtv-tweaks.dist
[18:23] <pragmaticenigma> tgm4883: what packages and from what PPA?
[18:24] <tgm4883> pragmaticenigma: there's a ppa with mythtv updates for each version of mythtv. For version 29, it's at https://launchpad.net/~mythbuntu/+archive/ubuntu/0.29
[18:24] <cxl> Hey, is there a way to report outdated packages so that the maintainers know to update to a newer version?
[18:25] <tgm4883> cxl: what package?
[18:25] <nacc> cxl: outdate in what sense and in what release?
[18:26] <cxl> tgm4883, nacc: `units` is at 2.16 in apt but 2.18 is out and fixes a bug with the update script to get the latest exchange rates.
[18:26] <Ridley55> no one?
[18:26] <tgm4883> Ridley55: IDK, I generally just do those from cmd line
[18:27] <Ridley55> yes i do it too from cmd line
[18:27] <Ridley55> but i'm asking if there is a tool line Zenmap to it in a GUI
[18:27] <nacc> cxl: 2.17 is what is in 18.10 and 19.04. debian unstable as 2.18 so 19.04 will update to that when the sync is started.
[18:27] <nacc> !latest | cxl
[18:27] <tgm4883> Ridley55: like zenmap?
[18:27] <nacc> cxl: if there is a bugfix to backport, file a bug
[18:27] <tgm4883> !info zenmap
[18:28] <Ridley55> yes but Zenmap is a port scanner
[18:29] <timeless> Anyone have a sense of how long it will take for a fix / downgrade path for https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-8/+bug/1800792 ?
[18:29] <tgm4883> Ridley55: and gnome-nettool doesn't work for you?
[18:30] <luis_> zambon
[18:30] <Ridley55> not installed by default in 18.04 tgm4883, i install it right now
[18:31] <tgm4883> Ridley55: sorry I thought you already had it since you asked about it earlier
[18:33] <egor> hello
[18:33] <Ridley55> yes gnome-network has been renamed apparently to gnome-nettool tgm4883 i was looking for this one at the begining : https://projects-old.gnome.org/gnome-network/download.shtml
[18:34] <egor> who from Russia
[18:34] <Ridley55> yes that is what im looking for tgm4883 thank you very much
[18:34] <nacc> egor: this is the ubuntu support channel, please go to #ubuntu-offtopic or another channel for chitchat
[18:38] <Anthaas> I have a machine with 4 HDDs, I used mdadm to create a partition spread across the 4 devices, sda4, sdb, sdc, and sdd. SDA contains, among things, the OS installation. I need to reinstall the OS in that partition without losing any data whatsoever across the main partition. Is this possible?
[18:40] <pragmaticenigma> tgm4883: I think that tweak was what I was looking for... I think the main part was the binlog_ignore... mythtv does a lot of read/writes to the DB during video operations
[18:41] <Richard_Cavell> Hi everyone. I'm trying to compile MAME and I need the header QtWidgets/QApplication.  How do I obtain this?  I'm on Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit MATE.

[19:48] <SDd45S> hi. So i upgraded from 16.04 to 18.04 and the upgraded tool crashed during the upgrade (after kernel install). (frozen while staying gray). I rebooted. It worked and it seems almost fine. How can I know where it stops ? what needs to be one to finish it ?
[19:50] <ioria> SDd45S, /var/log/dist-upgrade/     and run  sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade
[19:51] <tomreyn> SDd45S: for as to why the upgrade failed: this is usually due to package version conflicts and unsolvable dependencies, which is often caused by not using ppa-purge on PPAs before initiating an upgrade.
[19:54] <EliteGod> I've learn that in the hardest way. I had to fully reinstall Xubuntu once.
[19:54] <ioria> SDd45S, grep Broken /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log
[19:54] <gambl0re> in vi, how do i set it permanently so that it always shows which mode im in?
[19:54] <tomreyn> SDd45S: this can help you identify package versions which have no upgrade path (are basically orphans): https://github.com/tomreyn/scripts#foreign_packages
[19:54] <c0sm0s888> hi
[19:55] <eelstrebor> in case anyone's been wondering - ubuntu works with the intel 9260 wifi card (installed in an asus rog gl552vw)
[19:55] <HALPplease> hello, ubuntu wizards :) I have just changed my wireless card. Wireless is not working though. can someone help me please?
[19:56] <pragmaticenigma> !details | HALPplease
[19:56] <eelstrebor> what wifi card and what pc
[19:57] <eelstrebor> you have to do research to make sure the card is compatible with your pc
[19:57] <HALPplease> thank you, I will try to do that in a sec. it is a laptop asus n56, OS ubuntu 18.04. card intel 7260
[19:58] <eelstrebor> should work - do lspci or lshw to see if the card was recognized
[19:58] <pragmaticenigma> eelstrebor: that isn't correct. in modern computers, it is very rare for a device attached to the PCI bus to have any conflicts with the host motherboard.
[19:58] <gambl0re> anyone can help m?
[19:58] <tomreyn> HALPplease: why did you change it, what exactly is the new device - show the relevant line from: sudo lshw -numeric -short -c network
[19:59] <SDd45S> tomreyn: ok
[19:59] <eelstrebor> pragmaticenigma, depends on the mobo firmware - sometimes a cpu will fit in the mobo but it might not work without a firmware update
[19:59] <SDd45S> ioria: ok
[19:59] <ioria> gambl0re,  https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7888387/the-way-to-distinguish-command-mode-and-insert-mode-in-bashs-vi-command-line-ed
[19:59] <pragmaticenigma> eelstrebor: that is CPU... not PCI
[20:00] <eelstrebor> whatever
[20:00] <HALPplease> tomreyn: changed because this is dual channel and supports ac. that is the only reason. the line produce is this: /0/100/1c.3/0    enp3s0     network        AR8161 Gigabit Ethernet [1969:1091]
[20:01] <HALPplease> however this is not the card wireless card but the wired
[20:01] <eelstrebor> taht's not your wifi interface
[20:02] <eelstrebor> HALPplease, what you said :)
[20:02] <HALPplease> eelstrebor: how to solve it? sorry I am really new with linux so am asking stupid questions.
[20:03] <Vuurdraak_> hi all, i lost somehow my 'additional drivers' thingy, when u type 'drivers' in the dash (ubuntu 14.04) i no longer see the additional driver program, also i got no idea waht the name is of it to see if is no longer installed or what has happened
[20:03] <tomreyn> HALPplease: and there is no other device sin the output? if so, run "sudo update-pciids; sudo update-usbids" then paste output of these commands: lsb_release -ds; cat /proc/version; lspci -knn; lsusb
[20:03] <eelstrebor> HALPplease, could be that it's not inserted into the socket correctly
[20:03] <Vuurdraak_> anybody know how to start it from a cli ?
[20:04] <HALPplease> tomreyn:  i mean nothing else changed as far as I know, I have just changed the wifi card. I will post the results shortly
[20:04] <HALPplease> eelstrebor:  I tested it, it is there correctly
[20:05] <eelstrebor> the card can only be plugged in one way but it should be ok if you can secure it with the retaining screw
[20:05] <SDd45S> ioria: and apt autoremove
[20:06] <HALPplease> eelstrebor: it is tigthen in there with the screw
[20:06] <ioria> SDd45S, yes.... first check carefully what are you removing
[20:06] <eelstrebor> HALPplease, what does lspci or lshw show? either command will tell you if it's regognized - the other issue is that you need updated drivers
[20:06] <tomreyn> Vuurdraak_: software-properties-gtk --open-tab=4
[20:07] <gambl0re> ioria, tried it. still not working. this is my inputrc file. https://gist.github.com/rickywid/38099335b3588671853fd4c0b57ad08b
[20:07] <Vuurdraak_> @ tomreyn , thanks that is not installed anymore :D -> sudo apt-get install software-properties-gtk
[20:08] <tomreyn> Vuurdraak_: i guess so. ;-) unless you run kde then it's a similarily names one withe 'kde' or qt'. alternatively, if you dont have X: ubuntu-drivers
[20:08] <Vuurdraak_> @ tomreyn  thanks now it shows up again in the dash <3
[20:09] <UBuxuBU> can someone help me turn on the brightness controls..the slider is there in my OS and when i use my FN key the addjustment control pops and appears to be functioning but it cannot actually brighten or dim my screen.
[20:09] <Vuurdraak_> i found a post about 'jockey-gtk' but that was not it, :D
[20:09] <eelstrebor> i get updated drivers from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git
[20:09] <Vuurdraak_> nothing about software-properties-gtk ;')
[20:09] <tomreyn> Vuurdraak_: be aware that 14.04 will loose support in some months, you should plan your upgrade / reinstall
[20:09] <HALPplease> tomreyn: here we go: https://pastebin.com/sSf4LeA7
[20:10] <Vuurdraak_> when will it lose support ?
[20:10] <ioria> gambl0re,  try   :set showmodeù
[20:10] <tomreyn> !14.04
[20:10] <gambl0re> ioria, whats that last character?
[20:10] <ioria> gambl0re,  sorry,    :set showmode
[20:11] <tomreyn> Vuurdraak_: in april
[20:11] <Vuurdraak_> april 2019
[20:11] <gambl0re> ok. should i remove the line i just added?
[20:11] <Vuurdraak_> yeh thanks for the warning
[20:11] <tomreyn> HALPplease: you missed the output of "lsb_release -ds"
[20:11] <Vuurdraak_> not sure how much free disk space i need if i go to 18 lts
[20:11] <HALPplease> eelstrebor: https://pastebin.com/LJ8rBF78
[20:12] <eelstrebor> HALPplease, your pc doesn't see the card
[20:12] <HALPplease> tomreyn: just a sec
[20:12] <HALPplease> tomreyn: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
[20:12] <HALPplease> eelstrebor: how to solve it?
[20:13] <gambl0re> ioria, still not working
[20:13] <eelstrebor> HALPplease, maybe a firmware update? git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git
[20:14] <eelstrebor> either that or it could be a bad card
[20:14] <ioria> gambl0re,  cat "set showmode" >> ~/.vimrc
[20:15] <HALPplease> eelstrebor: sorry, how do I update the firmware?
[20:16] <gambl0re> ioria, no such file or directory
[20:16] <eelstrebor> first you need to  apt install git, after the d/l, copy the contents of the linux-firmware directory to /lib/firmware (cp -Rv linux-firmware/*) /lib/firmware/
[20:16] <ioria> gambl0re,  create it
[20:17] <eelstrebor> first you need to  apt install git, after the d/l, copy the contents of the linux-firmware directory to /lib/firmware (cp -Rv linux-firmware/*  /lib/firmware/)
[20:17] <tomreyn> HALPplease: i agree with eelstrebor, the device is not detected. is this connected to usb? if so, try plugging it into a different port, one you were successfully using an extrernal storage on.
[20:18] <eelstrebor> oops - first execute git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git
[20:18] <ioria> gambl0re,  sy, echo "set showmode" >> ~/.vimrc
[20:18] <HALPplease_> eelstrebor: sorry got disconnected
[20:18] <tomreyn> eelstrebor: it's not a new device, it's unlikely there's new firmware available for it.
[20:20] <eelstrebor> first you need to  apt install git, then execute git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git, after the d/l, copy the contents of the linux-firmware directory to /lib/firmware (sudo cp -Rv linux-firmware/*  /lib/firmware/)
[20:20] <gambl0re> ioria, ok
[20:20] <gambl0re> one se
[20:20] <gambl0re> c
[20:20] <tomreyn> HALPplease_: whats the output of: dmesg -t | grep ^DMI:
[20:20] <gambl0re> ioria, ok now what
[20:21] <HALPplease_> tomreyn: DMI: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. N56VM/N56VM, BIOS N56VM.214 08/28/2012
[20:22] <eelstrebor> HALPplease_, you could search /lib/firmware to see if it constains a 7260 driver already
[20:22] <tomreyn> HALPplease_: there's a slightly newer bios version available, but it's also quite dated: https://www.asus.com/us/Laptops/N56VZ/HelpDesk_BIOS/
[20:22] <tomreyn> HALPplease_: you have 214, the latest is 217
[20:22] <HALPplease_> tomreyn: this bios is for N56VZ, mine is VM
[20:23] <tomreyn> HALPplease_: oops you're right, apologies
[20:23] <HALPplease_> eelstrebor: how do I know what I am looking for?
[20:23] <HALPplease_> tomreyn: no worries ;)
[20:23] <gambl0re> ioria, thanks it worked!
[20:24] <eelstrebor> i HALPplease_ because mentioned the card earlier
[20:24] <eelstrebor> the latest firmware driver i have for that card is /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-7260-17.ucode
[20:25] <HALPplease_> yup, I have that
[20:25] <HALPplease_> eelstrebor yup, I have that
[20:26] <HALPplease_> er du skandinavisk?
[20:28] <tomreyn> HALPplease_: did you try a different usb port?
[20:29] <HALPplease_> tomreyn: it is not in USB, it is connected to PCIe port. it is inside of a laptop. I do not have another port available.
[20:30] <ioria> HALPplease_, and not detected in lspci ?
[20:30] <tomreyn> HALPplease_: oh i see
[20:30] <HALPplease_> ioria: nope ;/

[20:32] <ioria> tomreyn, tx, HALPplease_ well, we cannot do much about that
[20:33] <glaucom> hi all good morning
[20:33] <glaucom> any expert in PHP 7.2 and PDO?
[20:34] <ioria> HALPplease_,  i mean, we cannot even know what chipset is it
[20:34] <glaucom> i have installed MySQL: 5.7.24-0ubuntu0.18.04.1
[20:34] <HALPplease_> ioria: i see, OK then. that's a shame, but thank you so much for trying to help.
[20:34] <glaucom> PDO no works, no show warning , and nothing

[20:34] <ioria> HALPplease_,  are you sure the card is ok and plugged correctly ?
[20:34] <HALPplease_> ioria: which chipset do you mean?
[20:35] <HALPplease_> I screwed in the tightening screw so it must be in position, right?
[20:35] <ioria> HALPplease_,  what ?
[20:35] <HALPplease_> ioria: I will switch off the computer and will check again.
[20:36] <eelstrebor> HALPplease_, one other thing that you could try is manually loading the driver - sudo insmod 7260
[20:36] <ioria> HALPplease_,  lspci usuall y detects the hw also if the module it's not available
[20:37] <HALPplease_> ioria: I have a laptop and this card is connected to PCIe slot. it is fastened with a screw once it is set in place. I will restart computer and try to reattach the card
[20:37] <ioria> ok
[20:38] <HALPplease_> eelstrebor: it returned this insmod: ERROR: could not load module 7260: No such file or directory
[20:38] <ioria> the module is iwlwifi
[20:39] <HALPplease_> ioria: yes, what should i change?
[20:39] <ioria> no point loading a module without the hw
[20:40] <HALPplease_> ioria: I am very new with ubuntu so do not know what this is. I need concrete instructions
[20:41] <ioria> HALPplease_, not an hw wizard, but you first need to have your card detected in lspci (otherwise start thinking about bios settings or update the bios itself)
[20:42] <ioria> HALPplease_,  like, is it disabled in bios ?
[20:43] <HALPplease_> ioria:  there is no bios update available, the last one was released in 2012. it should not be disabled in BIOS as I have just removed the old card and inserted the new one.
[20:43] <ioria> HALPplease_,  i told you
[20:44] <ioria> HALPplease_,  check again
[20:44] <wildermind> Hi, I  recently upgraded from Ubuntu 16 to 18 on my laptop and discoverd a new problem. My screen brightness is never stable and keeps moving up and down causing the screen to look like it's flickering. I can manually change the brigthness but it immediatly keeps chaning up and down. Any idea?
[20:44] <HALPplease_> ok, restarting the computer. thank you for the help
[20:44] <teward> HALPplease_: did you verify that card is compatible with your computer?  If you didn't then you have to do that check
[20:45] <HALPplease_> teward: how would I do that?
[20:45] <teward> because even though it fits in the board it might not be a compatible card with your hardware
[20:45] <teward> internet research into your computer, supported wifi cards on-board, etc.
[20:46] <teward> HALPplease_: if you go into BIOS and the system doesn't show it or otherwise detect it, and lspci doesn't detect the card, then you should start researching whether the card is actually compatible with your hardware
[20:46] <teward> and if it isn't that explains why you're having problems.
[20:48] <tomreyn> glaucom: which version of php7.2-mysql do you have installed ?
[20:48] <HALPplease_> teward: thank you. I will check!
[20:49] <glaucom> tomreyn php7.2-mysql is already the newest version (7.2.10-0ubuntu0.18.04.1).
[20:49] <tomreyn> glaucom: also which ubuntu version is this, and are both mysql and pdo listed on the phpinfo output?
[20:50] <glaucom> result of php -m  >>> https://imgur.com/a/VK50Jn5
[20:51] <tomreyn> glaucom: so it's apparently loaded. what makes you think it "does not work"?
[20:51] <glaucom> result of phpinfo(). https://imgur.com/a/p5kGg4K
[20:51] <glaucom> no messages, no warning and nothing...
[20:51] <pi0> is there a opensource teamviewer app for ubuntu
[20:51] <tomreyn> glaucom: when doing what?
[20:52] <glaucom> blank page, even if I miss the code inside, or enter the wrong bank name. no message
[20:52] <nacc> glaucom: please use a pastebin instead of screenshots for terminal output. The phpinfo() page indicates pdo is operational.
[20:52] <tomreyn> glaucom: bank name? are you referring to some php application ? if so which one, which version?
[20:52] <zombi-ioria> pi0, i don't think so... but i could be wrong
[20:53] <pi0> does ubuntu have something by default?
[20:53] <glaucom> even if I type the database name wrong, no message is displayed.
[20:54] <tomreyn> glaucom: maybe your application doesn't catch errors? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6263443/pdo-connection-test

[20:54] <Anthaas> I have Ubuntu installed on a specific partition, sda3. I want to reinstall it over the same partition, and not effect any other partitions. Am I right in saying I select this partition for the "Device for boot loader installation"?
[20:55] <nacc> Anthaas: no
[20:55] <pi0> can i override the screen size on ubuntu desktop?
[20:55] <glaucom> lol > > https://imgur.com/a/eoIzCIR
[20:55] <pi0> resolution i mean
[20:55] <tomreyn> glaucom: my php skills aren't great (you may want to ask in #php), but is it normal to escape PDOException?
[20:57] <Anthaas> nacc: Ok, I have 4 4tb HDDs, Ubuntu is installed on a 100GB partition on one of them (SDA). I have sda1 as a 0.5GB fat32 partition, sda2 as a 4GB swap partition, I have sda3 as a 100GB partition which Ubuntu is currently installed on, and sda4, sdb, sdc and sdd are all one partition. How can I reinstall Ubuntu over sda3 only?
[21:01] <tomreyn> glaucom: so you identified the issue?
[21:02] <Guest69350> Hi
[21:02] <tomreyn> hi Guest69350
[21:02] <tomreyn> you can type this to get a better nickname: /nick MyBetterNickname
[21:02] <glaucom> no.
[21:02] <Guest69350> Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS Support?
[21:03] <tomreyn> Guest69350: a full question would contain at least one verb.
[21:03] <Anthaas> Are you OK?
[21:03] <glaucom> looolll
[21:04] <Guest69350> Ok
[21:04] <glaucom> php 7.2 default no show warnings and erros ?
[21:04] <Anthaas> glaucom: ##php
[21:04] <glaucom> tomreyn: i solved >> error_reporting(E_ALL);ini_set('display_errors', 1);
[21:04] <tomreyn> Guest69350: ubuntu 14.04 lts is supported until april 2019
[21:04] <Guest69350> Thx
[21:05] <tomreyn> glaucom: yeah user error
[21:05] <Anthaas> I have 4 4tb HDDs, Ubuntu is installed on a 100GB partition on one of them (SDA). I have sda1 as a 0.5GB fat32 partition, sda2 as a 4GB swap partition, I have sda3 as a 100GB partition which Ubuntu is currently installed on, and sda4, sdb, sdc and sdd are all one partition. How can I reinstall Ubuntu over sda3 only? Do I select this partition as the "Device for boot loader installation"?
[21:05] <glaucom> tomreyn I made several adjustments in the PDO and PDO_mysql modules .. at least it was useful for me to learn how to activate or deactivate them. lol
[21:06] <tomreyn> glaucom: glad you learnt something along the way ;-)
[21:07] <glaucom> tanks for you help tomreyn
[21:07] <Anthaas> nacc: You just said no, would you be able to answer the related question? How?
[21:08] <tomreyn> glaucom: welcome. i suggest you head directly to #php in the future once it's clear it's not an issue with the php / database installation
[21:08] <glaucom> I honestly thought it was a bug in some missing or problem PDO module.
[21:09] <nacc> Anthaas: reading, sorry
[21:10] <nacc> Anthaas: i think your fat32 partition is where your bootloader lives currently
[21:10] <nacc> Anthaas: you're also sort of abusing terminology :) sda4 is a partition, sdb, sdc and sdd are disks. I guess you are using software to combine them?
[21:11] <Anthaas> nacc: Sorry - yeah I used mdadm to create a partition consisting of sda4, sdb, sdc, and sdd.
[21:12] <Anthaas> But that already exists, right? I just want to reinstall Ubuntu.
[21:12] <Anthaas> I want the sd4/sdb/sdc/sdd volume to remain untouched.
[21:12] <Anthaas> That is just data.
[21:15] <nacc> Anthaas: yes, I'm tryingto clarify,that's not a "partition". Partitions are things on the individual disks :)
[21:15] <nacc> Anthaas: i think, the server installer can recognize that and do it, but if you're installing desktop, you'll need to tell the installer to not use those disks at all, and thenmanually configure them
[21:15] <tomreyn> Anthaas: that's a raid array, the partitiones forming the raid array are raid devices.
[21:18] <pi0> brb
[21:19] <nacc> Anthaas: i think in the installer, you'd tell it to use sda1 for grub, sda3 for the / partition, sda2 for swap, and leave the rest alone and manually reconfigure them (if desktop)
[21:20] <Anthaas> It is desktop. Can I send you a picture of it, since its on another machine?
[21:20] <tomreyn> Anthaas: and of course be sure to have complete, tested restorable, backups before you touch this.
[21:22] <guideX> I'm trying to install things, but I get this Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/) is another process using it?
[21:23] <nacc> tomreyn: good point :)
[21:23] <nacc> guideX: are you using sudo? is an apt or dpkg process running?
[21:23] <guideX> I am using sudo
[21:23] <w4|k3r> guideX: Try a reboot - check if Symantec Package manager or any installation is going on
[21:24] <guideX> w4|k3r, it happens when I reboot too
[21:24] <nacc> w4|k3r: you don't need to reboot to solve this, that's bad advice
[21:24] <nacc> w4|k3r: and symantec?? you mean synaptic.
[21:24] <w4|k3r> nacc: One question - in this case is it safe to remove the lock file
[21:25] <w4|k3r> nacc: I did mean Synaptic. Sorry
[21:25] <Anthaas> nacc: tomreyn This is what I get as soon as I hit the "Something else" button on the installer. https://ibb.co/mNbg2f https://ibb.co/dzWg2f
[21:25] <nacc> w4|k3r: no. unless you know there is no running process holding the lock.
[21:25] <guideX> I should add that I'm horrible at linux/ubuntu, so maybe easily missing something basic
[21:26] <guideX> I guess I could just nuke this server and start over
[21:26] <nacc> guideX: did you check to see if any apt or dpkg process is running?
[21:27] <guideX> I'm not reallyu sure if it is or not, it doesn't say anything when I do lsof /var/lib/dpkg/lock
[21:27] <guideX> but I 'm not sure
[21:28] <guideX> oh wait, it says warning can't stat() fuse.gvfsd-fuse file system /run/.user/1000/gvfs output information may be incpomplete
[21:28] <guideX> I'm not sure what that means
[21:28] <Anthaas> Are you trying to use Google Drive mounted?
[21:29] <tomreyn> Anthaas: this installer doesn't seem to have detected the software RAID.
[21:29] <Anthaas> tomreyn: Its the desktop Ubuntu, not server.
[21:29] <nacc> tomreyn: iirc, desktop installer doesn't do sw raid
[21:29] <tomreyn> Anthaas, nacc: i agree
[21:30] <Anthaas> Can I just not touch sda4, sdb, sdc, and sdd, and recreate the raid when I've booted?
[21:30] <Anthaas> Or is it not that simple?
[21:31] <tomreyn> Anthaas: probably, yes. what raid level is it?
[21:32] <tomreyn> Anthaas: actually no not when you've booted from this system, but from a live system after you installed
[21:32] <tomreyn> Anthaas: so it'll still involve jumping around the CLI
[21:34] <tomreyn> Anthaas: actually i should have said "no, you cannot (unless you're quite advanced)"
[21:39] <Anthaas> tomreyn: Its level 0
[21:40] <tomreyn> Anthaas: you'll want the server installer instead.
[21:40] <Anthaas> Not possible at all with the desktop installer?
[21:41] <tomreyn> Anthaas: it doesn't support detecting existing raid arrays and installing on top of them.
[21:42] <tomreyn> Anthaas: there'S a chance that it could would if you assmbled the raid array using CLI before you start the installation, but it's just a chance, i don't know whether it'd work out properly.
[21:48] <nacc> Anthaas: you don't want to do anything to the data in the existing array, right, just use it?
[21:48] <nacc> Anthaas: then you can just (i assume you have backups) restore you mdadm config and it should work

[21:54] <qwebirc38303> i have maybe a stupid problem but can someone help me with this?
[21:55] <qwebirc38303> When i try to install pcsx2 i got
[21:55] <qwebirc38303>  pcsx2:i386 : Depends: libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 but it is not going to be installed or                        libgl1:i386 but it is not going to be installed               Depends: libsdl2-2.0-0:i386 (>= 2.0.4) but it is not going to be installed               Depends: libwxgtk3.0-0v5:i386 (>= 3.0.2+dfsg) but it is not going to be installed
[21:56] <hggdh> qwebirc38303: what is the Ubuntu version, AND how did you try to install (full command, please use pastebin if multiple lines)
[21:56] <qwebirc38303> The ubuntu version is 18.04 LTS
[21:57] <qwebirc38303> i install over putty with 'sudo apt-get install pcsx2'
[21:57] <Anthaas> nacc: That is correct, I want the data in the array to remain untouched, and just have it remounted on the new install. There is around 11TB on there. I don't have that backed up per se.
[21:57] <WoC-> qwebirc38303, nvidia gfx ?
[21:58] <nacc> Anthaas: i meant your system config files (mdadm and fstab specifically)
[21:58] <hggdh> qwebirc38303: you can try to run sudo apt update and then re-try the install
[21:59] <Anthaas> Oh, I can scp those across to another machine.
[21:59] <nacc> Anthaas: yes, that would be a good idea (probably all of your /etc/ should be backed up, at a minimum)
[22:00] <Anthaas> Actually other than the RAID stuff, I specfically don't want that restored.
[22:00] <qwebirc38303> @hggdh, i will try now
[22:00] <nacc> Anthaas: right, but having a backup let's you know what you had before
[22:02] <qwebirc38303> when i do the update command i got a error on 'http://repos.codelite.org/wx3.1.0/ubuntu artful InRelease', about the public key
[22:02] <qwebirc38303> i use a dutch terminal
[22:03] <tomreyn> !artful | qwebirc38303
[22:03] <tomreyn> maybe they provide a bionic (18.04 lts) repo?
[22:03] <Bashing-om> qwebirc38303: zesty was the last supported release . disable that PPA.
[22:05] <qwebirc38303> ok, i try over ssh
[22:13] <Anthaas> nacc: Right, I've backed up /etc
[22:15] <qwebirc38303> I have remove the ppa, now i have upgrade everything. When i try to install after upgrade the error commes back
[22:16] <WoC-> Apparently, it is possible to run a 32 bit version of 18.04, just have to do-release-upgrade ;] Good news for me, i thought 16.04 was the end of the line... \/\/eee
[22:17] <Bashing-om> qwebirc38303: pastebin the command and results - so we can work with the context .
[22:18] <qwebirc38303> @Bashing-om, witch command?
[22:18] <qwebirc38303> i use a dutch terminal
[22:18] <tomreyn> WoC-: it's not supported for standard ubuntu, but just for some other flavours, which only have a 3 year support cycle on LTS releases.
[22:20] <Bashing-om> qwebirc38303: Whatever "after upgrade the error commes back" is . That command :P

[22:25] <banisterfiend> tonyt thanks! but is there a way of doing it without using nmcli?
[22:26] <banisterfiend> tonyt specifically using resolvconf itself or by looking in a file that resolvconf updates or so?
[22:26] <tonyt> cat /etc/resolv.conf
[22:27] <banisterfiend> tonyt unfortunately /etc/resolv.conf just uses resolvconf 127.0.0.1 resolver
[22:27] <banisterfiend> but i need to know which dns servers it's *acdtually* using
[22:27] <tonyt> su to root then do nano /etc/resolv.conf
[22:27] <tonyt> nm-tool | grep DNS
[22:28] <tonyt> systemd-resolve --status
[22:28] <tonyt> try that one
[22:28] <tonyt> banisterfiend
[22:28] <banisterfiend> tonyt not using systemd-resolve homie i'm using resolvconf (the program called resolvconf)
[22:29] <tonyt> cat /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf
[22:29] <tonyt> cat /etc/resolv.conf

[23:26] <bn_work> guys, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS here, I was tired and mistakenly did a `chown -R  user:group ${path_that_unfortunately_wasn't_defined}/` and it ended up trying to chown everything off root,
[23:26] <bn_work> luckily I was able to `^C` before it got too far and when I noticed it error-ing out on the `/proc` subsystem but I think some damage has already been done.
[23:26] <bn_work> I still have a session open and am going to try restoring from a backup but before I shutdown to do so, would `chown -R root:wheel /{bin,boot,dev,etc,initrd.img,lib,lib64,lost+found,media,mnt,opt}` help to at least restore partial functionality to reboot safely into restore mode?
[23:27] <bn_work> (BTW, I'm assuming `chown` proceeds alphabetically)
[23:35] <bn_work> actually, scratch that, it looks like it went through everything already :|
