[00:01] TJ-: it worked : )), I looked in /etc/default/keyboard on my harddisk and it was xkblayout:ru but also xkbvariant:legacy [00:01] and with my live usb I had xkbvariant as blank [00:01] so I added a new password with the ru legacy layout and I can boot from my hard disk : ) [00:02] after 2 hours :) [00:02] there should really be an option to change keyboard layout before you have to fill in a password [00:11] hey guys my ubuntu is broken whatever i try to install it says: https://pastebin.com/7uBdf2cr [00:12] what should i do? i also tried "apt --fix-broken install" and the output was: https://pastebin.com/BabCYjaQ [00:19] also tried "sudo apt --fix-broken install" and the output was: https://pastebin.com/eCrvguNm [00:21] gwozt, what Ubuntu are you running? packages in your error are for cosmic, others for bionic - and your package requires a older version (-draw 6.0.6 = bionic, but your rule wants 6.0.3? are you using Ubuntu, is your system up-to-date? https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libreoffice-draw https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=icedtea-netx .. [00:58] zout-sel, TJ- My mistake, pkeys= is actually a distro-specific argument that I stumbled upon while searching briefly [01:08] lordcirth_: it's ok, all fixed now : ) [01:23] zout-sel, you ended up adding a Russian slot? [01:27] when i do a "apt update", where does it get the machine type from ? [01:27] such as x86_64 [01:31] arch [01:31] i *think* [01:32] which in turn gets it from uname(2) [01:40] blackswan, as in uname -m ? [01:41] yes, i believe so. [01:41] arch returns same as uname -m for me [01:42] but apt update chooses another [01:42] WoC: the package architecture is kept track of by dpkg, aiui [01:42] oh. [01:43] WoC: dpkg --print-architecture [01:43] i thought you were asking a different question [01:43] ducasse, it shows the wrong one [01:44] there is multiarch trickery [01:44] how can i fix it so it supports two ? [01:44] WoC: what does it show, and what did you expect? [01:44] specifics are of great help [01:44] dpkg; powerpc uname -m ppc64 [01:45] hi [01:46] i recently upgraded my PC and installed ubuntu 18.04 on it. it's real slow at opening apps. how do i speed it up? [01:47] ducasse, is it possible to fix it to ppc64,powerpc ? Kind of like multilib and x86_64,x86 ? [01:47] my old configuration with an AMD A10 cpu and Ubuntu 14.04 worked real fast. [01:47] WoC: on intel dpkg would show amd64 and uname x86_64 [01:48] ducasse, right, my bad. But that was just an example [01:48] WoC: you have dpkg --add-architecture [01:49] oh [01:49] dpkg: error: unknown option --add-architect [01:49] oops, typo [01:49] nm [01:57] When I click on a window in the side bar, it drags it [01:57] instead of switching to that window [02:05] ducasse seems like there is none, i would need ppc64 but not ppc64el [02:06] so i am running out of space for / but when i opened gparted to try to resize i was unable to. do i need to unmount everything and boot to a usb drive or something to e able to move about 3-4 gb from /home to / ? https://imgur.com/a/VBHudO4 [02:07] WoC: ok, then i don't know what to suggest - haven't touched a ppc-based system in many years [02:07] arooni: yes you need to use a live system to move partitions [02:07] Rave1: should i be able to move some free space from /home to my / partition? [02:08] arooni: be sure to have backups of files first,, and yes [02:08] ok wish me mluck [02:08] oh one last q [02:09] how much free space should / have [02:09] arooni: always backup files [02:09] like 3-4-5 gb ? [02:09] arooni: that really depends on your needs [02:10] i feel like i have most of my software installed [02:10] arooni: ok so use what you feel will be enough [02:23] * darkghost7 looks around ('-' ) (._. ) (o_o) ( ._.)

[05:05] (or `xbacklight -set 70` to set to 70% & not mess with inc or dec) [05:05] adikwok, it was from link I provided earlier; yes you could probably set to key (like ctrl+alt+t opens term), but I rarely use laptops so haven't tried) [05:08] guiverc_d: i tried to edit ~/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml and add ctrl+alt+t for terminal in section, but it is no response when i press ctrl+alt+t. [05:09] guiverc_d: lxde is real nice, for old laptop like mine, acer 4315, now it is faster than when i used windows 7. the main improvement is i can see hd youtube video in firefox, which always freeze in gnome before [05:10] adikwok, i don't have a lubuntu running at present to look, maybe I can look in awhile... [05:10] although the gui is so vintage like windows low graphic, but the speed is more than win 7 with readyboost 32gb [05:11] guiverc_d: thx [05:12] adikwok, lubuntu can be faster as it uses less memory (older gtk+2 libs mostly); but you can lose that speed if you waste your memory.. xfce (xubuntu) is pretty good too - but it's a personal preference which is best for you. [05:12] i desperately changed to lxde from gnome, since i need to watch youtube in fullscreen without lag. and lxde can do that, i am really glad [05:13] https://bugs.launchpad.net/switchboard-plug-power/+bug/1359054 || I would like my laptop to sleep when i close the lid. even the suspend option basically turns it off [05:13] Launchpad bug 1359054 in Switchboard Power Plug "An option for "close lid" on laptop" [High,Fix released] [05:14] guiverc_d: o yes, one thing please, can i get rid off qemu kvm, will it destroy the lxde settings? i ran out of hdd space, [05:15] once I've installed a kernel using dpkg, how do "enable" it [05:17] adikwok, i can't imagine kvm or qemu exists on my lubuntu (I wouldn't use it, so have never actually looked) [05:19] guiverc_d: meanings lubuntu works fine without qemu kvm? .. ok, i will apt purge qemu . since it was a wrong move in desperate yesterday, when i was trying to install lxde.. i installed this that this that. [05:20] i have installed libuv and dse-cpp-driver, after it i'm trying to install php7.1-dse-driver_1.1.1_stable-1_amd64.deb butit says: "Package libuv is not installed.", but i can check it is installed with dpkg -l libuv [05:20] does anyone can help me? [05:22] c|oneman, what Ubuntu release? [05:22] well I currently have 14.04, trying to upgrade to 16.04, but says my kenel 3.0.36+ is too old for librc6 [05:23] the libuv is on /usr/local/lib/libuv.so [05:24] 3.0? Ubuntu 14.04 installs with 3.13 (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Support) - is it Ubuntu? [05:25] yes but it's for a cheap arm box, it probably had a kernel hacked on it [05:26] okay - i did assume x86*; if installed, a `sudo update-grub` I would expect to find it, then on reboot your grub should give you the option to boot it... [05:27] hmm , if it uses 'uboot' maybe thats the problem [05:28] c|oneman, i can't help sorry :( (someone else may if you're patient) [05:31] adikwok, did you say what version of Lubuntu? (you are using) [05:31] guiverc_d: im using ubuntu 18.04.1 [05:32] :) (I'm booting 18.04) [05:32] with lxde desktop, switched from gnome. [05:34] adikwok, no probs, you didn't install it all (ie. lubuntu-desktop), but in bits didn't you? [05:35] guiverc_d: i guess i just apt-get install lxde ( since it was only 100mb+ . compared with lubuntu 300mb+ ) [05:36] guiverc_d: how to check it to make sure, whether i used lubuntu-desktop or lxde? [05:38] adikwok, i guess you could `dpkg -l lubuntu*` (and you'll see -artwork, -desktop with ii's if installed..) [05:39] guiverc_d: no packages matching with lubuntu [05:39] I'm booting an older computer off a usb stick I just made with ubuntu server lts but I don't get a "try ubuntu without installing" option. am I doing something wrong? [05:39] then I guess it's lxde & individual packages [05:40] the computer doesn't have a disk to install to, I just want to get linux running to make sure it's in good shape [05:40] xaxxon, ubuntu-server does not by default have a gui, nor a 'try' or (live) mode [05:40] xaxxon, there is a version with 'live' - so check you have that live-capable version of -server! [05:41] guiverc_d: how? [05:41] xaxxon, i would look where you downloaded it; or if you boot and only get install I'd assume it doesn't have it (most do not; only 1 -server does have live I believe - I'm no expert) [05:41] guiverc_d: yes it is lxde with status | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend [05:41] |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) [05:41] if I need a live system, I always use desktop versions.. (before installing server) [05:42] guiverc_d: thank you. I'll just download "normal" and flash that.. [05:42] I'm mostly just happy this computer can even boot from USB :) [05:42] very old 8-core xeon system - but the price was right. $100 for 2 [05:44] adikwok, this will be vague sorry, but on one system I have 'keyboard' which allows me to set ctrl+alt+f - I'm assuming its from gnome as I don't see it on my lubuntu box; maybe you have it to have it run a command on keystroke (screen dim/brighter..) [05:45] guiverc_d: i dont know how to run command for screen dim/brighter [05:46] i typed screen dim, .. the message was screen not installed [05:47] adikwok, my ~/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml file has a warning @ top not to edit the file, it's overwritten [05:48] sorry I said 'screen dim/brighter' as reminder only, using commands (if they work) previously described - `screen` has no relationship to what you want (let's you reconnect to lost term etc) - i usually use `` around commands.. [05:49] is it hard to add stuff to the "live" version so that I can boot and run my computer just off a USB stick? and then past that can I just boot that image over the network via PXE or whatever instead of having a USB stick plugged in? [05:49] commands were `xrandr` or `xbacklight` (having scrolled back) [05:50] guiverc_d: in my ~/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml top it has too.and i did follow to Copy the file to $HOME/.config/openbox/ instead. --> [05:50] xaxxon, you can write a persistent usb-thumb-drive that allows updating, & persistent sessions, but I usually just 'install' to another usb drive ... [05:50] :) adikwok [05:51] guiverc_d: I was hoping to boot multiple machines from the same image hosted on another computer [05:51] guiverc_d: my xrandr output is .. xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default [05:51] .. [05:51] guiverc_d: or did I misunderstand what you just said [05:53] adikwok, about 47mins back I said "adikwok, did you try the `xrandr --output VGA1 --brightness 0.9` (adjusting for your machine of course) or `xbacklight -inc 40` (to incraease 40% for example & dec for decrease) or `xbacklight -set 70` to set to 70% & not mess with inc or dec" [05:54] adikwok, if you don't have long scrollback, everything said here is logged and can be read (useful if you need to remember something later..) [05:56] guiverc_d: i tried like you pointed xrandr --output VGA1 --brightness 0.9 [05:56] also #lubuntu will have people that use lubuntu all the time (and more knowledgable too) [05:56] and it said: output VGA1 not found [05:57] guiverc_d: i tried xbacklight -inc 40 .. result: xbacklight not installed [05:58] the command was an example (adjust for your machine of course ... i provided link for discussion around command earlier [05:59] adikwok, if i run `xrandr` by itself, it shows my machine has DVI-0 & DVI-1, and no VGA1 [06:00] guiverc_d: i guess you shared only one link, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto [06:01] guiverc_d: i ran xrandr .. with result; xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default [06:02] the verify wiki link as I recall was to someone else, to you was adikwok, this may help (https://askubuntu.com/questions/148377/where-do-i-find-display-brightness-controls-in-lubuntu) - note there are a number of alternatives; some work for some, others need diff (xrandr, vs xbacklight - depends on hardware I guess) 15:40 (my local time) === Class7_ is now known as Class7 [06:04] guiverc_d: that conversation i didnt find in my log. :[ [06:05] adikwok, fyi: log can be read at https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2018/11/08/%23ubuntu.txt (times there are UST/UTC) [06:05] 04:40 was time (UTC/UST) -- but in a busy room stuff is easy to miss :) [06:06] guiverc_d: now i am reading the link, try to find out what to do [06:06] guiverc_d: thx for the link [06:07] guiverc_d: ubuntu is awesome again, sometime i felt it was suck, since i can not play youtube fullscreen in firefox, when i used gnome. .. but now i can watch youtube fullscreen .. even in HD [06:08] (it was just something I found online - brightness will depend on video card or your hardware - my desktops don't adjust brightness (though I can use redshift to accomplish it i suppose) [06:08] guiverc_d: yet GUI of lxde is soo vintage . compared to gnome [06:09] adikwok, LXDE is 'dead' (on life-support till 2021-april due 18.04 LTS), lubuntu have moved to LXQt - but some people don't like change (I like xfce which is really old too) [06:15] Just wanted to bump this - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1802052 [06:15] Launchpad bug 1802052 in linux (Ubuntu) "WMI Error - ACPI Exception AE_NOT_FOUND" [Undecided,Confirmed] [06:16] if I have to add "irqpoll" to my boot options to make it boot, is there something "bad" about my computer? [06:16] guiverc_d: how to try xfce too [06:17] now in my login screen i had: lxde, openbox, gnome-classic, gnome Xorg, ubuntu .. but only lxde or openbox that can made me logged in [06:18] i even can not switch back to gnome either :[ [06:18] adikwok if you have the disk space, you could `sudo apt install xubuntu-desktop` will installs XFCE & all it's apps. this will cause more programs to be loaded, more bandwidth used during updates (as it your gnome, lxde, xubuntu all get updated) etc.. you can select at login which you use.. (I'm a big fan of loading multiple DEs on my hardware; but not all play together perfectly) [06:18] i think i can adjust screen brightness via gnome, where i used to do that [06:19] guiverc_d: ok, i will try apt install xubuntu-desktop, .. [06:48] I have tried to move the mysql data directory, but I can't access that directory from user "mysql" (ubuntu). I have set the directory to mysql:mysql and g+rwx [06:48] any idea? [06:49] sorry solved [06:49] it === Guest29982 is now known as GizmoRomick [07:12] Could someone help me with picking a note taking app. I prefer something where I can store the data locally, something with good tab support, can have image and file attachments, and prefer markdown. Anyone know of something that fills some of those requirements [07:47] GizmoRomick, have you tried Evernote (not local) === capella is now known as capella|away [07:57] Hello !I would like to search contentes of multiple pdf, txt, doc files . What software would you recommend === capella|away is now known as capella|zZzZ [07:57] I have read about recoll [07:57] but I would like to know the alternatives [08:05] sphinx does search [08:07] jluc, let me check sphinx [08:13] afx_, I'd just grep/egrep/fgrep (but not a gui tool) [08:22] guiverc_d, yeah I would like a gui tool [09:02] I have IPMI View (from Supermicro) downloaded on my laptop (Ubuntu 18.04) and I can open the IPMIView20.jar file with OpenJDK Java 11 Runtime, but the KVM console never works. However if I start the same jar file from terminal with 'java -jar IPMIView20.jar' the added IPMI devices are all gone (so I have to re-add them) but the KVM console works. [09:02] Any ideas what's going on here? [09:03] Java version info in the terminal shows https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/cDHCQHM4vC/ [09:07] hello .. i personally thanks to this #ubuntu irc. to lotuspsychje, malina, guiverc_d and ones i couldnt remember nicknames, from helping me to feel the power of ubuntu in old laptop, acer 4315, intel celeron, single core, 1,73ghz, with no vga card installed. .. [09:08] now, its really much faster than when i used gnome, [09:08] :) you are most welcome [09:09] i switched to lxde, tried to use xfce, but im confused if its gonna break everything that set in my previous gnome, .. so [09:09] i stick with this vintage looks of lxde, . [09:09] guiverc_d: im running out of space too, .. [09:10] to all seniors, . many thank you for your willingness helping noob. [09:11] adikwok, yeah and multiple desktops means more updates, more bandwidth etc (and can be confusing menu wise, as multiple text editors (gedit for gnome, leafpad for lxde, mousepad to xfce .. - all do same thing, but use libs already in memory thus keeping speed; the many options is confusing at first!) [09:12] guiverc_d: how to streamline it more? .. [09:12] what can be masked or uninstalled so i get more speed. [09:13] guiverc_d: thank you for your humble helped today, .. regards from me, adi kwok, jakarta, indonesia. [09:15] guiverc_d: is there a way to reduce dekstop to lxde and gnome only? i had ubuntu, gnome xorg, gnome classic, openbox, lxde [09:16] guiverc_d: will it gonna make memory consumed less if i had only gnome and lxde? [09:17] guiverc_d: so i guess it made me could try xfce, . if it wont break previous gnome settings [09:17] cause in lxde i could not set brightness yet. [09:17] adikwok, i more pointed than helped; but it's my preference (I prefer working out things myself, so I point to things like I want..) ... gnome is big & it's what I'd remove; but it can corrupt your system if not removed correctly (you'll be gaining disk space more than memory; it's only using memory when running, or you've logged in with gnome). i don't know all your issues, but removing gnome (which includes gnome [09:17] classic etc) can be tricky & I'd not want to advise [09:19] adikwok, it will only make a difference if you start the programs from another DE, depending on what background services that will start [09:20] but unfortunately to me it seems inevitable to do it ... for instance the only pdf viewer that has reasonable support for annotations is okular from kde [09:20] guiverc_d: better keep it as it is, .. i love gnome, because its futuristic design, i guess. [09:21] honestly .. what made me wanna try ubuntu is gnome-desktop appearance. when i looked in the computer store, someone installed ubuntu bionic beaver with gnome [09:21] unfortunately, my old laptop can not get full power when using gnome [09:22] you can style most desktop environments to your liking ... [09:22] guiverc_d: now, .. its back and gained more speed than my old win 7 readyboost 32gb .. [09:23] bluesceada: now i only can login to lxde, .. i can not switch to gnome.. i dont know how to make it [09:24] sudo apt-get install gnome-session ? [09:24] i can only login to lxde, openbox .. when i tried login to gnome or ubuntu.. it kept me back to login screen [09:24] bluesceada: ok, i try now [09:25] if you want more, "gnome-desktop" is probably the package that pulls more other packages/dependencies in [09:26] but making it back to login screen seems there is something messed up ... [09:26] bluesceada: gnome-session is already the newest version (3.28.1-0ubuntu3). [09:26] ok, so what kind of customizations did you do [09:27] test [09:27] Hi, I have `search` directive in auto-generated /etc/resolv.conf. How to prohibit Ubuntu (perhaps DHCP client?) from adding any domains into it? It causes `$ host somenonexistentdomain.com` to timeout and not return NXDOMAIN. [09:27] bluesceada: thats what i dont know which . since i am noob, i read askubuntu, try this and that , tweak this and that,.. and i dont know what i did [09:27] maybe you did too much... [09:27] bluesceada: absolutely too much [09:28] save your home directory and reinstall... [09:28] might be the easiest for you [09:28] bluesceada: took 30 days more for me to set up gnome, till i get desperate and tried lxde [09:28] bluesceada: if reinstall, ..all settings will be gone? [09:29] nope, they are all in your home directory [09:29] at least the settings from your user which are not on system level [09:29] not sure about saved networks for example [09:30] but the GUI settings and program settings are all in your home [09:30] just all the package installations you have to do again.. [09:30] if I execute the Java file from my home dir with 'java -jar /home/eb/IPMIView/IPMIView20.jar' it opens it differently than if I execute the same file from inside [09:30] that folder with 'java -jar IPMIView20.jar' [09:31] what gives? :/ [09:32] I have applied factorial scaling using gnome-tweaks tool on 18.04. Is there a way to apply this scaling to only one monitor? [09:32] zetheroo, ask in a java channel [09:35] adikwok, if you install using 'something else' (selecting your partition(s) & ensuring you do NOT have format ticked), the system will only wipe (erase) system directories (not touching your /home or your directories), and at end will attempt to re-install any programs you've added data. I would be tempted to do it too as bluesceada suggested, but you must be careful to not select 'format' or an option that causes [09:35] format (why I choose something-else; format is easier to pick in my opinion) [09:35] afx_: there's a hidpi page on the arch wiki, it has a bit about scaling. look at that. [09:40] adikwok, adikwok, if you install using 'something else' (selecting your partition(s) & ensuring you do NOT have format ticked), the system will only wipe (erase) system directories (not touching your /home or your directories), and at end will attempt to re-install any programs you've added data. I would be tempted to do it too as bluesceada suggested, but you must be careful to not select 'format' or an option that causes [09:40] format (why I choose something-else; format is easier to pick in my opinion) [09:40] adikwok, and ... be careful to really back up your whole home directory [09:41] not just copying the files, would be better to make an archive that preserves permissions of your /home/username [09:42] bluesceada: i tried several times to re-installed ub, . now my rootname is ub5.
