joanjWhat da hell was that?00:09
joanj Due to the persistent ongoing spam, all new connections are being set +R (block messages from unidentified users) and will be scanned for vulnerabilities. This will not harm your computer, and vulnerable hosts will be notified.00:10
joanjWhat happened?00:10
joanjScanned how????00:10
OerHeksjust PM messages, no worries00:11
OerHeksand registering is not that expensive on #freenode00:11
joanjOerHeks, just PM??? What do you mean?00:12
joanjThey will read them?00:12
joanjExpensive? I thought I did it for free?00:12
OerHekswhy do you care? you are registered00:12
OerHekswe try to keep a low level access to support, so unregistered users are also welcome00:13

joanjOerHeks, I know what a PM is. You are scanning through people's messages?00:17
* UBUxUBU takes a screen shot00:17
OerHeksThat freenode message does not claim i read PM00:17
OerHeksLoLz00:17
pauljwhehehe... yeah, we all scan your messages...00:18
OerHeksare you drunk?00:18
joanjNo. First I was kicked out and my nick was changed, so I couldn't post here and had to identify again. Then you say you scan people's messages and I still don't know what it mean and it looks like you do.00:19
OerHeksusing irc as root, you have bigger issues than PM00:21
OerHeks!rootirc00:21
ubottuIt's not technically our business, but we'd like to tell you that IRC'ing as root is a Very Bad Idea (tm). After all, doing anything as root when root is not needed is bad, and especially bad with software that connects to the Internet.00:21
joanjDon't worry about that. Caould you please answer my question?00:22
joanjOerHeks, I'm not calling you NSA, I just'd like to now.00:29
guivercjoanj, the mesasge you saw about scanning was from freenode, not the ubuntu room; if you have concerns you'll have to take it up with them (they've been hit by heaps of spam, and have had to implment more security procedures to attempt to stop it)00:30
joanjguiverc, I know it was freenode.00:30
OerHeksi am not sure what freenode does, i think counting connections to detect mass spam00:30
joanjOerHeks, Does counting connections counts as scan? When you wrote "we" above, it was a quote right?00:34
OerHekshow is this related to ubuntu support? ask in #freenode00:37

fooobarrrwhy cant I install vim02:54
fooobarrrwhat is wrong with everything02:54
Sven_vBfooobarrr, what did you attempt to do, and what happened? is there an error message?02:54
fooobarrrI attempted to "upgrade" from 16.04 to 18.0402:55
fooobarrrbecause of the persistent lies about how its so much better02:55
Sven_vBnshire, the update might shut down servers temporarily if needed, including apache. usually it tries to shut them down gracefully.02:55
fooobarrrwhy even have popups when the shit doesn't even work02:56
fooobarrri typed "vim" and naturally it started neovim02:56
fooobarrrthis is not vim02:56
fooobarrri typed "02:56
Sven_vBfooobarrr, yeah I'm disappointed about 18.04 as well. however the problems I have with it had been there since ages so nothing new.02:56
kumoolpikia, I'm pretty sure you can modify Xorg while its running... maybe02:56
fooobarrrapt install vim" and that broke for whatever stupid broken ass package shit that wasn't implemented02:57

horsemorseHi there! I was wondering if I can get some help figuring out what's wrong with my hibernation. When I do "sudo pm-hibernate" it restarts but doesn't remember anything. I'm using Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS.05:05
pi0nm-connection-editor does not show vpn option05:05
cfhowlett!ping05:05
ubottupong!05:05
horsemorseI tried setting it up from a swap partition, rather than a swap file. I updated /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume and /etc/default/grub, and I added the swap partition via "swapon".05:05
conjoding dong05:05
horsemorseIf use "s2disk" it says "Could not use the resume device (try swapon -a). Reason: No such device"05:06
Kyrospi0:read the vpn part on here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkManager you need to install some packages05:07
Bashing-omhorsemorse: "I added the swap partition" . Did you add to mount to /etc/fstab and verify the UUID ( sudo blkid) ?05:07
ledenipi0: settings --network -- VPN +05:08
horsemorseYes to both.05:08
horsemorseE.g., in my fstab it says: "/dev/nvme0n1p6 none swap sw 0 0"05:08
pi0ledeni: i am following05:09
pi0i am there05:09
ledenipi0: press + and add vpn05:10
pi0let me reboot05:10
Bashing-omhorsemorse: Humm ... is there /etc/uswsusp.conf file ?05:11
horsemorseYes, though I've never touched it.05:11
horsemorseOh interesting, it lists a different resume device...05:12
horsemorseShall I just try changing it manually and testing it out?05:13
Bashing-omhorsemorse: does the file contain the UUID of the swap partition (resume device =XXXX) ?05:13
horsemorse"resume device = /dev/nvme0n1p7"05:14
horsemorsehttps://pastebin.com/sE7Tr5Z005:15
Bashing-omhorsemorse: back up the fole and edit to the target UUID as in " resume device = UUID=ede93e1b-0b68-468f-b6f6-ebf7a0c9d7ac" . worth a shot .05:15
horsemorseOkay, thanks. Trying it out.05:15
Bashing-omhorsemorse: same applies for /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume .05:17
horsemorseAlas, no dice.05:18
horsemorseAnd s2disk continues to say that there's no resume device. (pm-hibernate just reboots.)05:19
horsemorseHold on, I'll post all the relevant files.05:19
Bashing-omhorsemorse: /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume ->> RESUME=/dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxxxxxx  .05:19
kantlivelongjust confirmed it. nfs+kerberos is broken on 16.04 but is fine in 18.04 :(05:21

horsemorse"/etc/fstab": https://pastebin.com/Pggg4Txg05:27
kantlivelonglotuspsychje: one moment05:27
Bashing-omhorsemorse: I would suggest a default grub file .. and make the UUID edits in /etc/uswsusp.conf and /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume . I have never encountered that resume needed the crutches in grub .05:28
horsemorseLiterally write "/dev/disk/by-uuid/" and then the uuid?05:29

`mistargh.... well fellas it seems i've stumbled upon the ol full bootdrive. /boot is completely full and purge-old-kernels won't do it's thing due to E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).11:09
=== Blade is now known as Dreaman
TJ-`mist: easy solution - most of the space is taken up by locally-generated initrd.img-$VERSION (initial ramdiskfs, 1 per kernel version). Identify the oldest versions you are ready to delete, and manually delete those with something like "sudo rm /boot/initrd.img-x.y.z-generic" to free up space11:14
`mistyeah i removed some old kernels manually, looks like it went through11:14
`mistbut sometimes you get stuck in a loop11:14
`mistseems like i managed to solve it this time though, thanks TJ-11:14

LargePrime hi.  weird question.  i want to install ubuntu to my USB stick, as an install, not a live cd.  do i have to have a second usb drive, run live cd on that, and install from the live to the destination usb thumb, or can i just install lubuntu straight onto the USB drive from my ubuntu OS13:58
gebbioneSven_vB, ok thats enought for me :)13:58
gebbionebtw unsure where to see the logs13:58
enzotibLargePrime, you need two USB13:58
LargePrimekk13:58
gebbionedont see a link on the topic, or googleing i see https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/latest/13:58
LargePrimeneed tho? enzotib13:58
gebbionebut which one is it13:58
enzotibLargePrime, as you say, one to start the live system and another as install destination13:59
yohnnyjoeUnderstanding that Virtual RMS isn't probably the best source, are packages like amd64-microcde and iucode-tool necessary proprietary "blobs"? They are listed as being from Main repos by apt policy iucode-tool13:59

Sven_vBcould someone please clarify https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/AdvancedMethods#Debootstrap step 6 about whether to run the mount commands _inside_ the chroot? (I guess yes)14:11
fasslno, you mount it into the chroot14:11
fasslah na sorry14:12
fassllol didnt read it clearly14:12
Stimrolone question. Is /etc/asound.conf obsolete in Ubuntu 18.04. I can't seem to find this file? What I am reading is that this file is needed for ALSA to use Pulseaudio14:12
fassli always do it in outside the chroot with mount --rbind /proc /path/to/chroot/proc  etc.14:13
Sven_vBfassl, me as well, thus I was a bit confused14:15
Sven_vBfassl, I thought I'd need to have the same proc and sys as outside, so I wondered how I could get them from inside the chroot. seems I can use a fresh new proc and sys instead.14:15
Sven_vBnow I'm torn to invent yet another installer program because the debootstrap guide seems easier than fixing Ubiquity. =) but on the other hand I'm still hoping to benefit from community support if I stick to Ubiquity.14:17

Sven_vBok nice today it magically works. dunno whether the atheros antenna needed the realtek antenna to learn how it's done, or maybe the FUD about WPA2 key expiry was true after all. although I did tell wpa_supplicant to reauth.14:38

TJ-gee111: I suspect you've actually booted it from the HDD not the SD-card14:39
Sven_vBthat's strange. as soon as I unplug the realtek antenna, the atheros antenna fails again.14:39
Sven_vBgets disconnected and is unable to reconnect.14:40
EriC^^gee111: no it shouldnt take over 2 hours to install14:40
EriC^^why do you ask for help then do your own thing and ignore any advice/questions etc14:40
fasslSven_vB, if this is the ubiquity you mean it seems you can have a blacklist for paths not to be copied to the target https://github.com/linuxmint/ubiquity/blob/master/scripts/install.py#L21214:43
Sven_vBfassl, thanks, I'll try how I can use that on the vanilla Ubiquity.14:44
Sven_vBor maybe I'll just use the mint Ubiquity.14:45
Sven_vBhow would I go about loading the software for my realtek antenna w/o having it plugged in for real? maybe the software part would be enough to make the WPA work on the atheros antenna.14:49
TJ-Sven_vB: what do you mean by "antenna" - an antenna is just a peice of wire that receives/radiates Radio Frequency energy14:50
TJ-Sven_vB: do you mean the PC has 2 WiFi devices?14:50
=== SimonNL is now known as SImonNL_Afk
Sven_vBTJ-, it has a built-in antenna "Qualcomm Atheros Device 0042 (rev 31)" and I have a pluggable USB antenna "Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188EUS 802.11n Wireless Network Adapter".14:52
lotuspsychjeSven_vB: pci cards? usb dongles?14:53
lotuspsychjeor wardrive antenna?14:53
Sven_vBlotuspsychje, the Qualcomm shows up in lspci so probably PCI.14:54
Sven_vBhowever the success is not reproducible. seems nm-applet just displayed it wrongly.14:54
TJ-Sven_vB: those are Wifi devices, not antennas. The attennas are short pieces of wire inside the casing14:56
TJ-Sven_vB: so you're saying that both devices have problems connecting to your Access Point?14:57
Sven_vBTJ-, the packaging said it's an antenna. :P14:57
TJ-Sven_vB: have you done a channel-scan to see how strong the received signal(s) are, and if there is interference from other APs close by?14:57
Sven_vBnope, the Realtek can connect fine14:57
TJ-Sven_vB: so only the internal Atheros device has the problem?14:57
Sven_vBearlier it seemed the Qualcomm could connect as well, as long as the realtek was connected14:57
Sven_vByes14:57
TJ-Sven_vB: I've seen cases with atheros where either 1) the wrong antenna is selected (yes, REAL antenna!) or 2) the antenna cable has become physically disconnected from the device (due to vibration, knocks, etc.)14:58
TJ-Sven_vB: we recently had a user where the laptop hinge had cut through the antenna co-axial cables meaning even next to the AP the signla strength was low14:59
Sven_vB2) is unlikely since it works nicely with other APs, just not with the ones I want.14:59
Sven_vBsignal strength was quite good according to linssid14:59
TJ-Sven_vB: OK, so use the software tools to check the signal strength. Also, it is possible the Atheros device isn't set to the correct region and may not be able to operate on all the channels the AP is using15:00
TJ-Sven_vB: E.g if the AP can use up to channel 13 (Europe) (on 2.4GHz) and the Atheros is limited to channel 11 (USA) then you can get this kind of problem15:01
Sven_vBis that the "cfg80211: World regulatory domain updated:¶ cfg80211:  DFS Master region: unset" part?15:01
Sven_vBit's on channel 415:01
TJ-Sven_vB: yes; the message you show there also mentions "DFS" which is a technology used in the 5.xGHz band (802.11a)15:01
Sven_vBthen it shouldn't matter, the AP is on 2.4xx GHz15:02
TJ-DFS = Dynamic Frequency Selection. It is used to avoid operating on the same frequencies as local RADAR15:02
Sven_vBlinssid reports quality 50 signal -6015:03
Sven_vB(selecting the Qualcomm device for scanning)15:04
Sven_vBand still channel 4 so it should be independent of DFS.15:04

Sven_vBTJ-, yes there are lots about 10 others on channels 1, 6, and 1315:17
Sven_vBalso some 5.xx GHz15:17
TJ-Sven_vB: right; so those could be causing interference which the atheros isn't so capable at rejecting.15:19
TJ-Sven_vB: anything on channels 1-9 will overlap/interfere with channel 4, for example15:20
Sven_vBoh ok15:20
Sven_vBI thought it's only about 3 channels wide15:20
=== capella is now known as capella|away
TJ-Sven_vB: I also see repeated dmesg "wlp2s0: disassociated from 00:13:…:ac:11 (Reason: 16)" followed by "cfg80211:   (2402000 KHz - 2472000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (N/A, 2000 mBm), (N/A)" - that is the frequency range covering channel4, and it is setting the channels to 40MHz bandwidth, not the default 20MHz. So that might be another issue15:21
Sven_vBhow can I fix that?15:21

geodb27_People : hi ! I'm running a lenovo L540 laptop with kubuntu 18.04 on it. The laptop's keyboard has a Fn key which can be used for alternate meanings of the functions keys. When I was with 16.04 kubuntu, mute, volume up and down worked perfectly, but they don't anymore. How can I get things back working ?17:06
geodb27_I've checked with xev, and I get XF86AudioLowerVolume, XF86AudioRaiseVolume, XF86AudioMute and the like, so the keyboard seems to work as expected.17:06
Platonidesgeodb27_: check that they are set for shortcuts for those actions17:06
Platonidesit's somewhere like system-settings → keyboard → shortcuts or similar17:07
Platonidesif you have no keys set for increasing the volume17:07
Platonidespressing XF86AudioRaiseVolume won't work17:07
ryuogeodb27_: i'd start by seeing if the system registers anything when you try to use them first.17:07
Platonides(unless the active app catches it)17:07
geodb27_All right, I'll check it right now, thanks for your kind help.17:08
Platonidesryuo: he checked with xev already17:08
Platonideswhich is good17:08
ryuoOh. I didn't see that.17:08
Platonidesas that could have been worse to fix :)17:08
geodb27_In the control panel, as per kmix, there is an action "Raise the volume" and the Global shortcut is set to "volume raise". So, I think it is fine ?17:09
geodb27_Oh, wait...17:10
geodb27_Thanks a lot... I reet all the shortcuts to their default values and things works again.17:11
geodb27_Might be something that went wrong when I did the do-release-upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04.17:12
ptuxioria, i'm back17:19

caliculkHello, I am trying to extend an lvm root partition on a system, similar to how I did a few weeks ago. Looking back at the commands and steps I did with someone in this channel, however, for whatever reason they are not lining up, and I am having issues again. The ouput of fdisk -l and parted are here: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/JwtCQDTPR6/21:02
ikoniacaliculk: why are you using fdisk/parted to extend a logical volume21:02
TJ-caliculk: are you using "lvextend" ?21:03
ikoniayou just need to extend the volume and file system, not the partition21:03
ikoniayou'll need to tell us what command you did to extend the disk21:03
ikoniaI suspect you extended the volume but not the file system21:03
TJ-caliculk: all you need (assuming the VG has free extents) is "lvextend --resizefs VG/LV" (where VG/LV are the volume group and logical volume names respectively)21:04
caliculkIt doesn't have free extents at this point.21:04
TJ-caliculk: check free extents/space with "sudo vgdisplay"21:04
caliculkOne second, will collect the output of displays21:04
TJ-caliculk: so you need to extent the PV (physical volume) first?21:04
ikoniait probably doesn't have extents because you've already extended it21:04
ikoniathe PE is only 15GB21:05
caliculklv, vg, pv display: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/6ZVfQFjC3B/21:05

ikoniathere is your 15gb21:06
caliculkikonia, the disk size is 40 GB21:06
ikoniayou've only alocated a 15GB partition to it21:06
TJ-caliculk: here's the log from the last time we did it: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/5hxXvytYVp/21:06
caliculkTJ-,  I know, that was what I was reading. :D21:07
TJ-caliculk: ahhh; thought you meant you were reading your shell history :)21:07
TJ-caliculk: so you're resizing partitions *again* ?!21:07
caliculkDifferent machine, but yeah.21:07
caliculkI remember doing something previously last time we did this, but, at this point, the parted commands are not working to actually extend anything.21:09
caliculkOf course, not with the same sector size.21:09
TJ-caliculk: looking at that fdisk output, the sda2 extended partition is only 15.5G, so you'd first need to extend that to take up the remainder of the disk21:10
caliculkOkay, I didn't recall doing that in the previous log, I just remember doing the actual lvm volume.21:11
caliculkOne second21:11
TJ-caliculk: it's there. Here it'll be something like:  "parted /dev/sda unit s resizepart 2 83886079"21:12
acosWhat video card is best supported on ubuntu 18.04.1 lts21:12
caliculkYeah, that worked instantly. My bad.21:12
caliculkAlright, I will follow the rest of the previous chat log then from here on out.21:12
TJ-caliculk: then you'd need to "partprobe /dev/sda" then repeat for parted for  sda5 (ending 2 sectors eariler)21:13
TJ-caliculk: something like:  "parted /dev/sda unit s resizepart 5 83886077"21:13
TJ-caliculk: "partprobe /dev/sda" again and check "cat /proc/partitions" then "pvresize /dev/sda5"21:14

kppHi. I was installing ubuntu 16.04 and the installer asked me for "Device for boot loader installation". I got OEM Win10 on the laptop and I don't want to loose it. What shall I choose to install it in dual boot? /dev/nvme0n1  // device21:52
kpp/dev/nvme0n1p1 // EFI system partition; boot,esp21:52
kpp/dev/nvme0n1p2 // msftres21:52
kpp/dev/nvme0n1p3 // msfdata21:52
TJ-kpp: nvme0n1 (you're telling it which complete physical device, not a partition)21:54
TJ-kpp: in UEFI mode it'll then look for the EFI-SP and add its core image there21:54
TJ-kpp: This presumes the installer booted in EFI mode, not BIOS/legacy/CSM21:55
kppGreat. How do I check I loaded it in EFI mode?21:58
ducassekpp: 'ls /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/'22:02
ducassekpp: if you get a listing, you are in efi mode22:02
TJ-kpp: good question; I've not used that installer for years; You can tell at boot because it has to use GRUB instead of syslinux for EFI boot. If you saw the boot grub menu that had "grub" in the title, it's EFI mode22:04
TJ-kpp: if you're running the installer in "Try Ubuntu" mode then what ducasse just said ^^22:05
kppYes sure. Try Ubuntu -> check vars. Is there anything I should know before installing it? Previously I didn't care about Win, since I did not need a dual boot. But Witcher 3 changed my point of view a little bit. Last time I f&&ed with Bitlocker. I disabled it in Win this time.22:07
