How to find out when Ubuntu 18.10 will use 4.19 kernel as default? Currently it is 4.18.0-10 [05:16] svoloc, I personally would expect 18.10 to remain on 4.18 (19.04 uses 4.18 currently) [05:24] svoloc: you ask this for a reason? anything doesnt work under 4.18? [05:25] Yes, I cannot connect external monitor to my laptop using usb-c connection. 4.19 has support for that, I think. [05:25] is there a thing as a secure boot or usb boot password protect usb disk [05:26] !mainline | svoloc [05:26] svoloc: The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel.

[07:57] systemctl start dovecot fails with " dovecot.service: Failed to run 'start' task: No such file or directory" but it doesn't say what file is missing. starting dovecot -F gives no output, is there some way to make systemctl more verbose to see what file it misses? [08:00] just with dovecot -F, the programme seems to run, so there seems to be an issue with systemd [08:01] Freenoodle: did you try journalctl -x? [08:01] Freenoodle: from the manpage: Augment log lines with explanation texts from the message catalog. This will add explanatory help texts to log [08:01] that is the explanation for the -x switch [08:01] spliffy, yes, didn't reveal more info [08:02] Freenoodle: I would take a look at dovecot logging settings. If it doesn't already log more info which you didn't find you can increase verbosity there [08:04] spliffy, problem is; I don't get to the point of systemd launching the dovecot process. I can start dovecot manually with dovecot -F but sytemctl seems to throw the towel even before. I don't get any logs [08:04] therefore I wonder whether there is any way to make systemctl more verbose [08:04] journalclt -xe only says "dovecot.service: Failed to run 'start' task: No such file or directory" [08:05] Freenoodle: you didn't mess with systemctl files? [08:06] Freenoodle: hah.. i guess you put the arguments in the wrong order [08:06] might that be the case? [08:11] spliffy, no, we did not touch them. Just did a fully restore frome a system backup, btw, the systemd file has no arguments [08:18] Freenoodle: i thought you might have switched the arguments for the systemctl call, because it didn't recognize 'start', but it found the dovecot.service, so the theory is wrong [08:19] I'd expect a line starting with ExecStart in the dovecot service file, which causes this error [08:19] Freenoodle: ^ [08:22] but by default it is just ExecStart=/usr/sbin/dovecot -F [08:23] on my ubuntu 18.04.1 [08:30] ping anyone.

[11:10] !latest | Lope [11:10] Lope: 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. [11:10] Lope: the package is in universe and therefore community-maintained; it may have been imported from Debian at the start of the cycle [11:11] gee111: does the dmesg log show any errors or warnings?

I have a Radeon R9 380 and I'm running Xubuntu 18.04. The default ubuntu drivers don't perform well (if at all) - I tried some thirdparty ppa for amd drivers, but didn't have much luck there either. The amdgpu-pro drivers latest rev is from 2015, so I'm weary of those too. [12:10] I'm just wondering if there is any GPU diagnostic tools I can use to know if my GPU is even being used [12:10] Or if I'm lucky, perhaps someone has a R9 300series and has experience getting it to run properly on Ubuntu [12:12] nekowaiidesu: check this: https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-the-latest-amd-radeon-drivers-on-ubuntu-18-04-bionic-beaver-linux [12:12] My friend uses an *old* crappy Nvidia card and gets better framerates in games than I do. [12:12] A vulnerabilities assessment tool reports that I have to use certain versions of openssh and nginx. [12:13] However, despite running `apt upgrade && apt update`, the installed versions are not bumped up. [12:13] ac3Takwas: those tools are often wrong; specific versions are not required; what are required are patches to mitigate vulnerabilities, which is what the Ubuntu security team do [12:13] acetakwas: on ubuntu, we reccomend to use the package versions specific for your ubuntu version [12:13] lotuspsychje, thanks.. I have followed through that guide. None of these drivers seem to help/work efficiently (granted I didn't try amdgpu-pro because the release being 2015 makes me skeptical of it) [12:14] How do I ensure the right versions are there? [12:14] ac3Takwas: Ubuntu applies patches to fix specific vulnerabilities to existing packages, we do not blindly upgrade to a new version of a package [12:15] TJ-: So you're saying I should ignore them? [12:15] nekowaiidesu: if radeon doesnt perform well, as a test try them anyway? [12:15] ac3Takwas: identify which CVEs the packages are supposed to be vulnerable to, then read the Ubuntu changelog to verify a patch is applied (e.g. "less /usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE/changelog.gz" ) [12:29] nekowaiidesu: if radeon doesnt perform well, as a test try them anyway? [12:29] since a few days, i have a problem with udev. I have lots of log-entries like "Nov 2 12:49:38 myhostname systemd-udevd[30869]: Process '/bin/chmod 0666 ' failed with exit code 1." any ideas? [12:30] lotuspsychje, I will try this in the evening. Final question, is there any better way to check what driver the card is actually using? lspci just shows that I have a GPU, but doesn't say much about the driver being used. [12:30] I know how to list my ppas and whatnot.. But not sure if the card is actually making use of them :S [12:30] nekowaiidesu: sudo lshw -C video, behind driver= at bottom [12:31] <3 thanks for all the help lotuspsychje [12:31] np nekowaiidesu hope it helps [12:31] juhuu4712: has the root file-system been mounted read-only? [12:34] TJ, i am not sure, /etc/fstab contains /dev/sda1 / ext4 rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 0 [12:36] juhuu4712: is there any other messages around those reports of the actual files/nodes it is trying to chmod ? [12:39] TJ, i only found this one "Nov 1 00:07:05 myhostname systemd-udevd[3992]: message repeated 2 times: [ Process '/bin/chmod 0666 ' failed with exit code 1.]" [12:40] juhuu4712: that sometimes happens if you've installed some 3rd party VPN type software that creates network interfaces [12:42] TJ, i am using openvpn. in these days, i hab the problem, that the CRL-file was expired. but now i updated the CRL-file and openvpn is working as expected [12:43] TJ, could be, that the udev-problem occured since the CRL-file expired [12:43] juhuu4712: possibly it happens when the VPN interface is being created? can you match the message timestamp with some action you were doing, like connecting the VPN? [12:45] juhuu4712: here's how to limit messages: " journalctl --since="2018-11-01 00:07:00" --until="2018-11-01 00:07:10" " [12:45] TJ, yes, the logging occurs, when i restart openvpn [12:45] juhuu4712: that'll give you 5 minutse either side of the "Nov 1 00:07:05" report [12:46] juhuu4712: OK, so the VPN fails and no network device is created, or is created and removed so quickly, that when idev calls /bin/chmod the node has gone [12:48] TJ, so how to solve this? the tap-device is created and vpn is working. so is this a real problem? [12:49] juhuu4712: possibly not. it's a pain that udev doesn't report *what* it is trying to operate on [12:50] juhuu4712: I wonder if udevd itself reports anything more. Try this: "journalctl --since="2018-11-01 00:07:00" -u systemd-udevd " [12:55] TJ, https://pastebin.com/nACQ9bVR https://pastebin.com/vr9mKNqV [12:56] TJ, the second one is still longer, but it is always the same [13:00] juhuu4712, have you tried to restart udev (service udev restart) and then rerun the cmd ? [13:03] TJ, this looks better https://pastebin.com/z67cgydJ [13:10] juhuu4712: look at the following lines of /etc/udev/rules.d/99-sbig.rules 49, 54, and 59 that maybe causing your issues [13:12] juhuu4712: can you run "cat /var/log/syslog | nc termbin.com 9999" and share link here [13:16] TJ, ok, here you are http://termbin.com/d8gh [13:20] juhuu4712: when did the chmod errors start happening looks like its been going on for a while [13:21] TJ, maybe one or two days [13:21] ?16 [13:21] Sorry [13:22] juhuu4712: what happened 2 or 3 days ago [13:22] juhuu4712: what version of ubuntu [13:24] juhuu4712: I think you've installed something, possibly 3rd party, that added a bad udev rule that is matching on everything. Can you show us "pastebinit <( ls -latr /etc/udev/rules.d/ /lib/udev/rules.d/ )" [13:25] TJ, http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/2qd444Sgkh/ it is kubuntu 18.10 [13:26] TJ, maybe the problem started with the expired CRL from openvpn. But 2 or 3 days ago, there might be some upgrades [13:28] juhuu4712: do you have a Santa Barbara camera attached?

I cannot see any reverse-depends on that package so not sure how you installed it. We could look in the apt log if you "pastebinit /var/log/apt/history.log" [13:33] juhuu4712: to remove it "sudo apt remove libsbigudrv2" (if you know you don't need it) [13:36] so for me to install wifi drivers for my ubuntu install ...

Is there a way that I can make sure my graphics are working proper? http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/FYq62dK2Pt/ [13:51] jjbuggle: do you have some amd control panel? I would look into that to make sure you're using the dedicated Radeon card and not Intel's onboard chip. [13:52] adrian_1908: i would love to look into that, but I don't know where any of that would be [13:54] jjbuggle: I don't have an AMD card, so I don't know either. Do you have the proprietary drivers installed? They might come with such a control panel (Catalyst etc.) [13:55] adrian_1908: there are no proprietary available through the additional drivers dialog. And searching on the net says that the proprietary ones are for professional apps, not gaming. Whatever that means [13:58] Hmm, maybe your card is too old then and those drivers have been removed. The proprietary drivers are definitely suited for [anything], and aside from open source purists most users just want the best performance. [13:59] jjbuggle, I'm also trying to get Radeon card working properly in games on xubuntu [13:59] nekowaiidesu: nice, let's work together [13:59] someone told me to try sudo lshw -C video [13:59] I can't really help more, as I know too little about it myself. If older drivers versions work with recent kernels, you could also try to get the linux driver directly from AMD's website. [14:00] check the driver === MechWarrior234 is now known as Revan- [14:00] nekowaiidesu: thanks mate! [14:00] Sadly I'm at work now, not on my gaming machine. [14:00] adrian_1908: sorry, I meant you, thanks mate! [14:00] np! [14:00] There is a ppa for third party drivers which are supposedly updated more frequently than the default ubuntu drivers. Personally I didn't have much luck with them either. [14:01] nekowaiidesu: check this: https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-the-latest-amd-radeon-drivers-on-ubuntu-18-04-bionic-beaver-linux [14:01] nekowaiidesu: yeah, I think I have 2 graphics cards, integrated intel and the amd. And it is not using the amd which is the problem [14:01] ^ There is a guide to install the ppa in that link. [14:02] jjbuggle, I think I have the same issue. When I run games it feels like my processor is doing all the work lol. Radeon R9 380 [14:02] jjbuggle, is the amd a PCIe gpu that you installed ? [14:03] but yeah, if you install the 3rd party or AMDGPU-PRO drivers and can see that they reflect in 'lshw -C video' I'd have some hope that I can fix my issue tonight :D [14:03] BluesKaj: that's an insertable card, right? No, it is integrated from oem [14:04] nekowaiidesu: ok. I think I'm willing to experiment. i might install and give it a try and report back [14:05] Hello. How can I run more than one instance of a program (in my case "entangle") on the same screen? [14:11] vlt, I think it depends on the program, not all programs allow this. Simply launch a second instance and see what happens [14:15] enzotib: Well, I wouldn't have to ask if I wouldn't have tried it first ;-) entangle doesn't run a second time as the same user. That's why I'm asking what extra work makes it run at least on the same screen more than once.

[14:22] jjbuggle, maybe this will help https://askubuntu.com/questions/1038271/intel-amd-hybrid-graphics-ubuntu-18-04 [14:25] People : hi ! I'm trying to build a centralized auth machine on my lan. So far, I've successfully setup a ldap for this purpose, and now I'm thinking about pam_mount so as to get the home directory available at user auth. [14:26] Hey - I have a few things set up on my ubuntu VPS. I could access Monit via :2812 until this morning. I just installed ZNC and I'm not able to access :6697 either - Both appear to be running and functioning as expected on the server-level... [14:27] The thing I'm thinking about is that since the /etc/nsswitch.conf reads "passwd: ldap files" (This is wanted behaviour, so that auth would be done first against the ldap and then, if the ldap is not available, against the /etc/passwd file as normal, is a solution to have the homedirectory available in the later case anyway. [14:28] Is that a good idea to have something like this : for a user set the home directory as /somewhere/user (nfs mounted via pam_mount) in the ldap, have the homedir set as /home/user in the local passwd file, and do a rsync upon the two folders at ldap disconnexion ? [14:29] All machines that will use this central auth are laptops. [14:40] BluesKaj: killing it, thankyou. I can't confirm exactly that everything is working, but the game I'm trying to play is running smoothly now. I used the xrandr commands listed in the link you gave: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1038271/intel-amd-hybrid-graphics-ubuntu-18-04 and started steam with the proper DRI... prepend. FYI, and thankyou! [14:40] nekowaiidesu: ^ [14:41] jjbuggle, glad to hear it :-) [14:46] jjbuggle, THANKS bud! I will try this tonight too. [14:48] enzotib: I just found the "Windows -> New window (ctrl+N)" option in entangle. :facepalm: [14:56] Is there something special to have pam_mount installed on kubuntu18.04 ? The pam package don't seem to provide it in the first place, and apt search pam_mount returns nothing at all ? === jiwang is now known as RNM [14:58] !info libpam-mount | geodb27 [14:58] geodb27: libpam-mount (source: libpam-mount): PAM module that can mount volumes for a user session.

[15:50] Launchpad bug 1697339 in nfs-utils (Ubuntu) "rpc.gssd performs reverse DNS by default (regardless of -D flag)" [Undecided,Confirmed] [16:09] is it possible to encrypt the filesystem after install [16:10] kur1j_: hmmm, the source package in 16.04 appears to have the correct code *but* for some reason the source package also contains binaries built in 2013 which look to pre-date the fixed source! I think someone mis-built that package. Let me try a simple no-change rebuild and see if that works. If so we can get it fixed quite easily [16:16] is there such a thing as password usb boot for ubuntu [16:16] plug in a usb and only if the usb is plugged in will the system boot [16:20] pi0: install the /boot/ partition to the USB stick, without that you can't boot Ubuntu. As for 'password usb boot' that sounds more like you want a system level boot password [16:20] and encrypting the filesystem after install is nontrivla - doable but can be very painful. [16:26] TJ-: oh sweet! how would I know if what you do works? haha === jelly is now known as khajiit === khajiit is now known as jelly [16:31] kur1j_: I'll let you know. I may be wrong, since the debian build system generates files in a temporary directory, so the object/exectuable files I see in the source shouldn't be there but ought not to end up in the debian package. [16:44] kur1j_: unfortunately that wasn't the cause; you would need to patch the code. Are you able to build/install it locally? the patch is pretty simple [16:45] TJ-: damn okay. thanks for trying! I could, but would end up having to do it for about 10+ machines [16:51] kur1j_: no; you correct the source once, build the .deb packages, and then copy/install them using dpkg -i [16:52] kur1j_: it takes about 10 minutes to do [16:52] ahh okay, [16:52] and that won't destroy the installation? [16:52] with some weird dependencies with apt-get [16:53] kur1j_: not at all [16:54] you have a link to instructions on building the .deb package for this? [16:54] kur1j_: I can talk you through it easily [16:54] hello [16:54] do you know any actually *good* hex editor for Linux?

[17:20] lotuspsychje: not so fast. I may find out what was wrong, but either it doesn't happen in the first place or they have fixed it. Well, it's over half year I recently checked it out. [17:20] lotuspsychje: thank you [17:22] Hi! Anyone knows something about an 18.10 problem with: Failure to download extra data files, ttf-mscorefonts-installer popup window? It comes up every time I boot. Can that installer maybe be removed? A fix coming soon? [17:24] uldics: do you get this when opening rythmbox? [17:25] if i have two ethernet interfaces, eth0 and ppp, how do i specify to use ppp as the default interface [17:25] lotuspsychje: No, just a short while after login to my Mate desktop. Iam somewhat sure it is some postupgrade from 18.04 to 18.10 relict [17:26] uldics: that package is part of ubuntu-restricted-extras perhaps try to purge and reinstall again? [17:29] lotuspsychje: Hmm, purge did not show any dependencies ... So, I can probably live without it? [17:29] uldics: restricted extras install codecs to play on players etc [17:30] Because, I do not see any software which should have them MS fonts [17:30] Ohh ok, players [17:30] uldics: if one day you find yourself in missing codecs, reinstall ok [17:30] ok, will try reinstalling [17:32] uldics: just do 'apt purge ttf-mscorefonts-installer', reinstall it later if you find yourself missing fonts [17:34] OK, looks like it is some sourceforge problem: Redirection from https to 'http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mirrorproblem?failedmirror=kent.dl.sourceforge.net' is forbidden [IP: 212.219.56.185 443] [17:34] But I can just purge and if some player or font problem appears, know that this could be the one, then manually download from sourceforge or Debian repo for manual install.

I am running 18.04 and I am trying to boot my thin client but its only giving a cross mark cursor with black+white screen.. Doesn't gnome support thin client ? I am following http://wiki.ltsp.org/wiki/Installation/Ubuntu chrootless [17:47] If anyone has a moment, I have questions about the behavior of the installer of Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS. To start with, is the algorithm for how the installer provisions disks and swap by default documented somewhere? I have spent a few hours googling and haven't found anything detailed yet [17:51] or, how about an easier question: why, when using LVM, does the installer only create a 3.9 GB root volume and then leave the rest of the disk unused in the volume group, no matter what size the disk is? [17:51] because you can extend it to your size then [17:51] it's easier to grow than it is shrink, and the risk of any shrink on a root volume is removed [17:51] <_freenoder> how can one go about diagnozing super slow torrent download issues via vpn, i tried using a live ubuntu and temporarily installing the vpn and downloading a torrent and it was normal. ideas? [17:52] that itself makes sense, but 3.9 GB is super tiny [17:52] no it's not [17:52] it's a size that fits the install in with a reasonable headroom to allow you to grow it [18:04] if i have two ethernet interfaces, eth0 and ppp, how do i specify to use ppp as the default interface [18:04] aro: using the GUI, or from command line? either way, you specify one as the default route [18:04]
