[00:03] why doesnt it at least show the swap [00:03] anfd u know there is a small system partition in there somewhere [00:03] swap not a partition anymore [00:04] *is not [00:10] swapon -s # shows swapfile [00:10] cd / && ls # shows your root folder with the swapfile [00:11] Can I get helo with xbuntu in this channel? [00:11] MannyLNJ, sure, there is also #xubuntu here on #freenode [00:12] My problem is my audio is though a TV that is connectyed over HDMI and I am not getting any sound. Volume Control shows the output as SPDIF and it thinks it is playing sound. I haveno options to change the sound under volume control [00:15] MannyLNJ, open terminal: alsamixer # and see with F6 if you can change to hdmi [00:17] OerHeks, I can't it only lists HD-Audio Generic with a Realtek ALC887-VD chip [00:25] my icon dock disappears after a while. it comes back it on reboot. anyone know the fix for this? [01:20] hi all. i have a Intel NUC connected via USB-C -> DisplayPort to a KVM. It works fine through the KVM, but when I switch on the KVM, and switch back to the NUC, the NUC fails to wake up === dingir___ is now known as dingir [02:42] MannyLNJ: install 'pavucontrol' and check -- configuration for digital stereo ( hdmi) === capella|away is now known as capella === capella is now known as capella|away === Class7_ is now known as Class7 [05:25] How do I get one of my drives to automatically mount? It mounts when I go into File Manager, then press "Other Locations" on the left, then select "2TB" [05:26] I just want it to do that automatically [05:39] leonardus, you have to edit the file fstab. It is located in /etc/fstab [05:39] what do I need to change in it? [05:41] Just edit it. Use any editor, running as root [05:42] Then you need to add a line that will mount your drive, where to mount it, the mount options, etc [06:06] AndyChow888: Yeah I'm not sure what to write on that line [06:08] leonardus, what filesystem is your drive using? ext4? [06:08] NTFS I think [06:11] If you do "lsblk" in the terminal, can you see your drive? It should say sdd or sdc or something like that. [06:11] └─sdb2 8:18 0 1.8T 0 part /media/ubuntu/2TB [06:13] So add this line: /dev/sdb2 /WIN ntfs-3g rw 0 0 [06:14] That will add the drive to /WIN (obviously, you can change that. Say /home/leo/WIN, whatever) [06:14] could I make it /media/ubuntu/2TB? [06:14] Yes [06:14] just so it's consistent with what it used to be [06:15] But, humm, perhaps /media/ubuntu will have a problem with that. You can try it, see if it works. [06:15] there is a wiki for that too, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [06:15] Also, make sure ntfs-3g is installed. But it should be. [06:16] I cant get mu vurned dvd of ubuntu to install, it keeos going into live session [06:16] Burned [06:17] AndyChow888: this good? https://i.imgur.com/McqQc85.png [06:17] No, leonardus. Add the line after you mount / [06:18] Add it at the end [06:18] Otherwise, the line itself is fine. [06:18] ok. just curious btw, what would happen if i left it at the top? [06:18] idk if it'll like being mounted in /media/ubuntu [06:19] It might work. But when / mounts, it will squash the rest. [06:20] i've rebooted, seems to be working as expected. thanks! [06:20] You can actually mount drives that way, /home, then /home/something, and if something exists, it's overmounted by the next one. But I don't want to add confusion. [06:21] leonardus, if ever you mount other drives, the /dev/sdb2 letter might change. The link OerHeks provided is good, as it shows how to use UUID, which is a more robust method than /dev/sdX [06:23] so: UUID=D062EFCE62EFB77E /media/ubuntu/2TB ntfs-3g rw 0 0 [06:24] Yeah, if that is the UUID that blkid gives you for /dev/sdb2 [06:25] Is it possible to dual boot install Ubuntu on a windows machine using a SD card (built in SD card reader) instead of a USB stick? === capella|away is now known as capella [06:25] Kaidok5797, technically yes, depends on your machine, can it boot from the cardreader? [06:26] I'm not sure tbh. I've never tried [06:26] the card reader drive does show up in file explorer as its own drive [06:27] AndyChow888: what is and by the way? [06:27] prepare that sd card like a regular usb drive, and let us know [06:27] leonardus, it has something to do with running a fsck so often. [06:27] Or could I even use my iphone as a USB stick to boot from? [06:27] Ok so no harm in trying then? [06:28] Good luck booting from an iphone. [06:28] I just don't have a USB stick [06:28] =( [06:28] or blank DVD media [06:28] But yeah, an ssd card works, depending on your hardware. [06:28] I seen the network install option on the ubuntu website but it basically says its not for the faint of heart so I'm hesitant to try it. [06:29] You have to try. OerHeks is correct. I have hardware that boots from ssd's, and some that don't. [06:29] Network install, PXE, requires that you have a server to install from, which I'm sure you don't. [06:30] hmmm.. could I not set that up on my laptop and use that as the server for my desktop? [06:30] How "powerful" of a server are we talking about running? [06:32] a server with 1 client, i386 - 256 mb would do [06:32] This is basically a "fun" project for me.. so I'm good with whatever happens either way. Going to try the SSD card first. I'll let you guys know [06:32] That would be no problem. [06:32] Can the client be wireless? [06:42] Hello, how can I check if dnsmasq is running? [06:45] za1b1tsu: htop? [06:45] OerHeks So far so good, Rufus sees the CD card as a device it can work with [06:47] xubuntu 18.04: How do I change my monitor positions in the light dm login screen? I have three monitors and the left and right monitors are backwards [06:49] by backwards I mean their positions should be swapped [06:49] JoshuaD: usually there is a setting called display which allows you to change monitor positions. I am not sure if it comes installed by default in xubuntu [06:49] This is exciting! [06:50] I haven't used Ubuntu in many years [06:50] @uniquerockrz, That works once I am logged in, but I'd like to mess w/ the login screen. [06:50] my monitors are fine when I am at my desktop, but at the login screen the left and right monitors are swapped [06:54] aight rebooting... wish me luck! [07:01] Hmmm looks like I’ll need to change the boot order in my BIOS [07:02] JoshuaD: Maybe there will be some option to chnage in lightdm config. [07:03] I'm looking at /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf.dpkg-dist and the other files here, there might be some magic words I can put in these files, but I don't see anything to edit [07:03] like, nothing about monitor positions [07:13] My monitors are out of order when I boot up the computer (so the login screen is on the right monitor), but once I log in they're set to the correct oder [07:13] order* [07:13] Is there a way to set the default order when the system boots? [07:13] Hmmmmm [07:14] Are there other BIOS changes I need to change for this to work? I remember reading somewhere about AHCI or IDE [07:14] My emulation is set to AHCI will that work? [07:15] Should, Kaidok5797 [07:15] @leonardus, I'm working on the same question atm. [07:16] Dang it SD card as a USB boot device won’t work for me it doesn’t appear [07:16] I guess that means to Ubuntu for me [07:16] The default boot order is set in the BIOS. [07:16] No [07:17] Yea... but my SD card reader doesn’t appear in the list [07:17] Kaidok5797, many hardware BIOSes do not support booting from SD cards. Many do. [07:17] There has to be another way to do this... hmmm [07:20] I’m going to read to see how hard this network install is [07:26] Usually I assume the monitor connected to VGA is set to monitor 0. HDMI is monitor 1. [07:26] I havent used more monitors in my setup, so I dont have idea after that [07:29] JoshuaD: fixed it [07:29] i just swapped the cables [07:30] except now grub and the bios is on the right monitor [07:30] So if I’m doing the NetBoot option... do I need the version with the HWE kernel? [07:39] So when I click the link to download the NetBoot installer, I instead get the index page of the files. Do I need to download ALL of these? [07:42] OMG this is crazy [07:42] How the heck am I supposed to download all this files from an index page? [07:46] Visual wget... ok ok... [07:46] Man I’m really going down a deep rabbit hole here [07:50] Kaidok5797: why not use https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [07:51] Ledeni that would require me to have a blank CD/DVD to burn it to would it not? [07:52] you can burn to sdd card [07:52] Kaidok5797: you can make a falsh drive bootable too [07:52] Ledeni but I tried that with the full desktop [07:52] And I can’t get the SSD card to boot [07:53] I used Rufus to make it bootable [07:53] Uniquerockrz I made a bootable SSD with the ISO image but when I reboot my PC it doesn’t boot from it [07:54] Kaidok5797: do u have access to a machine running linux? [07:54] No [07:54] I have an old windows 7 laptop [07:54] Hence why I was going to try the NetBoot [07:54] Kaidok5797: you don't have a flash drive? [07:54] Nah [07:55] Kaidok5797: what are your laptop specs? Do u know what your network driver is? [07:55] If I can’t get this to work I’ll just get one I suppose [07:55] Kaidok5797: that would be way easier than messing with this [07:56] Yea... but I figure if I DO get this to work... I’ve learned something I didn’t know how to do before [07:56] that's true :) [07:56] Which is really what this whole foray is about for me anyway lol === UBuxuBU is now known as BigBananaMan [07:57] uniquerockrs AMD Athelon II P340 Dual Core 2.2 GHz [07:58] 64 bit windows 7 [08:06] To install dnsmasq I had to disable systemd-resolved. Is this bad? [08:08] and after restarting, dnsmasq service cannot start: https://paste.ofcode.org/Zf5rBbStFYc3MjbBW3N5bT [08:17] za1b1tsu: ls -ld /etc/resolv.conf [08:32] OMG [08:32] I think I may have found a blank CD [08:32] Lol [08:33] ROFL I did! [08:34] So it only has 700MB though...so I should go for a mini install is that correct ledeni? [08:36] Kaidok5797: is the machine uefi? [08:36] How can I find out? [08:37] there would be settings in the bios to choose between uefi and legacy/csm boot modes, and maybe secure boot settings [08:38] Yes. I did see both of those in my BIOS [08:39] the mini iso does not support uefi boot, so if you want to use that you should use the server or lubuntu alternate images instead [08:39] (at least it didn't use to) [08:39] or install in legacy mode [08:40] It says [08:40] Hmmm [08:40] What would be issues with installing in legacy mode? [08:41] Kaidok5797: not anything, just older tech, you could always convert to uefi later after the installation is done [08:41] no issues as such, unless you dual boot with an os that is installed in uefi mode already [08:42] So no harm no foul by using this mini installer then either way correct? [08:42] just be sure to make the partition table GPT when you partition [08:42] I’m running windows 10 on a PC that was originally installed with windows 7 [08:42] I’ve already partitioned [08:42] Hmmm [08:42] ^^ and leave space for an EFI System Partition if there isn't one :) [08:42] I partitioned 50 GB total for Ubuntu [08:43] Kaidok5797: if you're running win10 you might be using uefi mode [08:43] Kaidok5797: in any case it won't really matter, just set the bios to csm legacy to boot the mini installer [08:45] Wait wait wait... interesting [08:45] I don’t see my partition in the Disk Managment [08:45] Any ideas for a package that maintains a catalog/index of offline storage devices? preferably via simple symlinks in its own file-system rather than a separate database [08:46] Ok well apparently I didn’t partition correctly the first time... so partition using GPT? [08:47] see if there is an efi partition [08:48] I. See... NTFS [08:48] And FAT32 [08:48] FAT32 is my SSD card slot so thats not it [08:48] System and OC c:/ are both NTFS [08:48] ok, the efi partition would be fat32 [08:49] Thats the SSD card slot... [08:49] hello [08:49] Kaidok5797: then you're in legacy mode, just go ahead and install [08:49] Ok cool [08:51] Here goes nothin [08:53] Should I burn “like a USB flash drive” so I can save edit and delete files on the disc at anytime or “with a CD/DVD player” were files can’t be edited or removed? [08:54] Nevermind [08:54] I’m going to follow the instructions for a DVD [08:57] hi [08:57] how can i add chromium repository to receive updates? [08:58] Hello! I keep failing in recreating the effect of "sudo ip route add 192.168.43.0/24 via 172.16.20.20" in netplan. I've been trying different yml combinations: routes:, with or without on-link: true, with or without gateway4:, but after a couple of hours I haven't still found the solution. [08:58] This is my current setup http://ix.io/1rBy . If I do "sudo netplan apply && sudo ip route add 192.168.43.0/24 via 172.16.20.20" with this config I end up with the desired result. How to do this in netplan only? Thank you [08:58] thinky: chromium receives updates in the ubuntu repos. if you want them quicker you could try the snap. [08:58] giaco: g'morning; I see the missing route on A was the issue then? [08:59] i installed chromium from store [08:59] i think it is already snap [08:59] TJ-: hey TJ-! Thank you! :D [09:00] TJ-: yes, route missing on A plus iptable edit on B [09:01] giaco: when you add a netplan 'routes' stanza, what is the result in the routing table itself? [09:01] TJ-: you went away yesterday, I tried to leave a thank you message, not sure if you get it [09:02] giaco: yeah... I had forgotten to plug the AC into the laptop! [09:04] TJ-: this is original "ip route show" without any "routes:" or "ip route add" http://ix.io/1rCn . Now I am going to edit the yml. http://ix.io/1rCn [09:08] TJ-: this is a modified yml with the result "ip route show" after netplan apply http://ix.io/1rCq [09:11] Ducasse can I just have the Ubuntu installer do the partitioning for me? [09:11] I’m afraid I’m going to mess this part up [09:13] giaco: are you reloading systemd-networkd or re-running the netplan generator when you do that? [09:13] Kaidok5797: i don't remember if there is an automatic partitioning option on the mini iso [09:13] TJ-: no, it is not required. When I do "sudo netplan apply" the "ip route show" does change [09:13] Ahhh ok [09:13] giaco: right, that is re-running the generator [09:14] giaco: check the generated systemd-network file under /run/systemd/network/ - that might give us clues [09:15] giaco: we'd expect it to contain some systemd-specific route options === cpaelzer_ is now known as cpaelzer [09:16] TJ-: if you have some patience I will continue shortly. Need to spend some minutes in urgent business [09:18] Soo ducasse I tried partitioning and it didn’t work lol It. Didn’t make a partition at all [09:24] Omg so I’m going to have to move my windows recovery partition [09:25] why? [09:25] Something about having more than one primary partition [09:25] And being in legacy mode [09:27] just make extended/logical partitions if there isn't room for more primaries [09:27] I have no clue how to do that.... [09:27] hello [09:29] Kaidok5797: it should ask you what kind of partition to create, iirc [09:31] hi guys [09:31] I have no such option ducasse I can however make it a “Simple Volume” [09:31] Hey [09:32] i manually installed a bunch of packages via `apt install bla bla bla`. Now I want to deselect them, so they are not registered as "manually installed" anymore, so that autoremove clears those packages, that are not depended upon by other packages already. [09:33] Ok apparently making it a “simple volume” allows me to choose NTFS or exFAT [09:33] tomboy644: 'apt-mark auto packagename' [09:33] And I can choose a drive letter to assign it [09:33] much obliged, ducasse [09:34] I can also set an “allocation unit size” no idea what that is [09:35] Screw it, I’m doing it [09:35] Lol [09:35] Or not [09:36] Pop up box says I won’t be able to start up any installed operating systems on the volume because it will be dynamic [09:36] Maybe installing Ubuntu on this computer is just impossible [09:36] are you doing this from windows? [09:37] Yes windows 10 [09:37] That was upgraded from windows 7 [09:37] we can't help you with that, you should be able to partition from the installer [09:37] I’m booting the installer now [09:38] Seeing what happens [09:38] Hmm this isn’t a good sign [09:39] Heyyy I have an option to “run UEFI Application” [09:39] moin [09:39] This is so so bizarre [09:42] It’s doing something anyway [09:43] it’s downloading additional components [09:43] I’m not sure where to since I never told it where the partition was or anything of the sort === Richard is now known as Guest18454 [09:54] hello! anyone can think of why I am adding rules to iptables but they don't show in iptables -L, nor work? [09:55] polysics: How do you add them? [09:56] iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --destination-port 5060 -j DROP for example [09:56] (I would like to block SIP traffic from the outside) [09:56] this is a Docker machine, but I was assumign blocking on eth0 would work [09:57] polysics: When running that command, what output do you get? [09:57] vlt: absolutely nothing [09:57] not sure if I should be seeing anything, I don't remember from other times [09:58] This is impossible. I’m tired. I think my attempt at installing Ubuntu is now over. Sad that in 2018 they make it so hard for someone on a windows machine to also install and use a Linux Distro. It used to be so so easy. =( [09:58] polysics: Nothing usually is a good sign ;-) And `iptables -L` doesn't list it then? [09:58] Kaidok5797: it's never been a problem for me. Do you have weird hardware? [09:58] I guess I dunno [09:58] vlt: no, not in the list (and ofc not working) [09:59] The installer just doesn’t see the partition as useable [09:59] And I can’t make a usable partition in windows [09:59] running with -v I get DROP tcp opt -- in * out * 0.0.0.0/0 -> 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpt:5060 [09:59] My only option is to just format the entire drive and use it [09:59] which is correct and would work IF IT WAS THERE :D [09:59] Which would get rid of windows completely. [09:59] I can restart the container and un-map port 5060 but at some point I do want access from some specific machines [10:01] Polysics “there are no free MBR slots on this disk” [10:02] Kaidok5797: What disk is this? the install medium or the target system? [10:02] Target system [10:02] Kaidok5797: Are you intending to like, keep windows around for dual booting purposes? [10:02] first time I see something like this. I almost want to restart just to see if it is something weird [10:03] Yes, exactly mouses [10:04] TJ-: I'm back on the problem, I feel that the missing piece is "how to set a static route for a docker network". Because if I add the netplan routes: on br0 is wrong, I should add them for the docker interface. Now I am not sure if I should add it though netplan or though docker, what I am sure is that this ip route show is working http://ix.io/1rCD [10:04] it's not like I can'twork but it is weird and annoying [10:05] Kaidok5797: You're going to need to do some file system changes, I'm heading to bed but this guide might help (not sure if the software is free, but I bet you can find something to fix it) [10:05] https://www.partitionwizard.com/partitionmagic/no-free-mbr-slots.html#partition-wizard [10:05] my windows knowledge is a decade out of date :( [10:05] night night [10:05] Thank you mouses I appreciate it! [10:08] Kaidok5797: do you have some sort of live usb you can use? [10:09] Kaidok5797: it might be that you have stray gpt data in the disk, that usually causes the installer to not see the disk partitions, "sudo fixparts /dev/sdX" (replacing X with the disk) should find the stray gpt if any and offer to fix it [10:12] I can’t sudo anything in windows lol [10:12] But I thin mouses thingy may have worked... we shall see [10:12] Think [10:12] Kaidok5797, are you trying to make a LiveCD via USB flash drive of ubuntu? [10:13] No no I already have the installation media [10:13] ok [10:13] It’s the making a usable partition thats the issue === [1]MrMobius is now known as MrMobius [10:13] ah ic [10:14] you might need partitionwizard [10:14] its on Windows [10:14] yea I have it now [10:14] cool [10:14] Kaidok5797: yeah, i meant if you can get any live usb to issue that fixparts command [10:14] can you partition it? [10:14] Well the problem is I can only have 4 primary partitions [10:14] And I already had 4 [10:15] So I changed one to logical [10:15] makes sense [10:15] Kaidok5797: does the installer see any partitions or it's just that it's not being usable? [10:15] It allowed me to at least assign the paritition i made a driver letter [10:15] It didn’t at first... seeing if it will see it now [10:15] didn't what? :D [10:15] Before it seen it as “unusable” [10:15] the whole disk? [10:16] No just the partition I made to install Ubuntu in [10:16] well, duh [10:16] you dont actually make a partition to install ubuntu, you just make unallocated space [10:16] cool [10:16] does ubuntu works now? [10:16] the installer takes care of the rest [10:16] But it wanted to format my entire drive lol [10:17] yeah it does that, unless you customize your partition [10:17] I need to keep windows [10:17] it should give the option "install alongside windows" [10:17] its easier to install windows first, than ubuntu [10:17] Windows is installed first [10:18] Windows was already installed... but it used up all 4 usable partitions [10:18] Kaidok5797: if you've already partitioned for ubuntu, then you need to make a ext4 formatted partition for ubuntu to use it [10:18] aha [10:19] Hi, any way how to restart Bluetooth manager in Ubuntu? [10:19] With no reasons, bluetooth adapter just turned off and I cannot turn it back on in settings [10:20] Urbanecm: try "rfkill list" [10:20] I click on the toggle, it just change its color (not moving to the "on" position) [10:20] EriC^^, https://pastebin.com/VKwSXxkv [10:21] looks good [10:21] Urbanecm: try 'sudo systemctl restart bluetooth' [10:21] What should I select for “How to use this partition”? [10:21] Ext 4? [10:21] Journaling? [10:22] Kaidok5797: yes, ext4 and mountpoint "/" [10:22] Mountpoint isn’t an option [10:22] EriC^^, done, still cannot turn bluetooth on [10:22] “Ext4 journaling file system” is though [10:22] Kaidok5797: yeah, you want that [10:22] Oh I see [10:22] The mountpoint now [10:23] how much ram does your pc have? [10:23] in any case, you can always create a swapfile later, that's what 18.04 does by default anyways [10:23] I can’t set it as a bootable [10:23] I cant’ use the bootable flag [10:23] is that ok? [10:24] yeah i guess [10:24] windows is gonna need that bootflag [10:24] You guess? [10:24] I mean... it still sees the partition as a logical partition [10:24] Kaidok5797: yeah, linux doesnt really need a bootflag to boot [10:24] Wouldn’t let me change it to primary [10:24] Even in a dual boot scenario? [10:25] yeah, it doesnt matter [10:25] some bios however do require a bootflag on some partition to load the bootloader code [10:26] and windows needs it on its partition to boot, so no worries you're good\ [10:26] It’s asking about swap space. [10:26] I can create swap space later correct? [10:26] also linux doesn't need to be on a primary partition [10:26] yeah [10:27] Cross fingers [10:28] lol [10:28] While its “installing base system” I’m going to grab some food real quick [10:28] I’ll be back [10:28] To cry if my windows is gone lo [10:28] L [10:28] comfort snacks :D [10:28] EriC^^, any other advice? :) [10:28] i need my screensaver (xscreensaver) daemon to start when i boot, how do i tell systemctl this? [10:29] Urbanecm: no idea i'm afraid :) [10:29] EriC^^, I should note that this got fixed by rebooting the notebook [10:29] so there must be some service that must be restarted... [10:29] Urbanecm: maybe the indicator is screwed up? it's called "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/indicator-bluetooth/indicator-bluetooth-service" [10:30] you could stop it using "ps aux | grep bluetooth" [10:30] ls: cannot access '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/indicator-bluetooth/indicator-bluetooth-service': No such file or directory [10:30] and kill [10:30] aha [10:30] Urbanecm: anything in "ps aux | grep bluetooth" ? [10:30] or "dmesg | grep bluetooth" ? [10:31] EriC^^, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/QR7fWv7vKY/ === davor_ is now known as davor [10:31] dmesg | grep bluetooth is empty [10:31] Katnip: i'd add it to the startup apps [10:32] Katnip: or if you want you could make a systemd unit file for it [10:32] is it like a daemon? [10:32] 78% done [10:32] I’m very very thankful for IRC on my iPad Pro right now [10:33] yes it's a daemon [10:33] EriC^^, killed 2688, issued sudo service bluetooth stop, waited a few secs, then sudo service bluetooth start, tried to turn bluetooth on again. [10:34] The process obexd reappeared [10:34] and nothing changed :( [10:34] if this works... I’m throwing a party lol [10:34] Urbanecm: does it randomly just stop or after resume from suspend/hibernation? [10:35] ive usually had 'sudo systemctl enable xscreensaver' but apparently i'm not remembering correctly [10:35] No, I was listening to Spotify via my wireless headset and suddently the headset indicated it was disconnected. I opened bluetooth settings and noticed bluetooth is dsabled [10:35] as well my wireless mouse stopped to work [10:37] Katnip: does "systemctl list-units | grep screensaver" list anything? [10:38] no [10:38] hello [10:38] hi [10:38] Urbanecm: try in a terminal "bluetoothctl" [10:39] then type "power off" then "power on" [10:39] EriC^^, power off failed with "No default controller available" [10:39] $ bluetoothctl [10:39] Agent registered [10:39] [bluetooth]# power off [10:39]
