| thebope | hello, I'm following this guide to mount an sd card on my virtual box ubuntu server installation, however at the end it conveniently forgets to mention where that disk would be mounted to - https://www.geekytidbits.com/mount-sd-card-virtualbox-from-mac-osx/ | 00:10 |
| thebope | I've checked /dev and /mnt | 00:11 |
| thebope | but don't see anyp | 00:11 |
| thebope | don't see anything | 00:11 |
| Mathisen | thebope, run lsblk | 00:11 |
| thebope | it says it's mounted in sata port 1 on virtual box | 00:12 |
| thebope | okay one moment | 00:12 |
| thebope | okay I assume it's sdb, I think I'm currently on sda | 00:12 |
| Platonides | probably | 00:12 |
| Platonides | dmesg will probably tell you too | 00:13 |
| thebope | That would make sense I believe as it has two partitions and I know that's how raspbian installs | 00:13 |
| thebope | How would I terminal into that sdb if I wanted? | 00:13 |
| Mathisen | does it show a mount point ? | 00:13 |
| Platonides | mount /dev/sdb /mnt ? | 00:13 |
| thebope | ah it does not, do I have to mount it then? | 00:14 |
| Mathisen | yes | 00:14 |
| thebope | makes a ton of sense, thanks | 00:14 |
| thebope | wow dmesg gives me a huge amount of output | 00:15 |
| thebope | hmm, tells me it can't find it in /etc/fstab | 00:16 |
| Mathisen | does not have to be there. everything in fstab will be mounted on boot | 00:17 |
| thebope | which makes sense I guess, there's only one line in /etc/fstab | 00:17 |
| Mathisen | can still just mount it manual | 00:17 |
| thebope | yeo so I ran sudo mount sdb, and sodo mount /dev/sdb to no avail | 00:17 |
| thebope | that complained about the fstab thing | 00:17 |
| Mathisen | sudo mount /dev/sdb1 any/empty/folder/that/exists | 00:18 |
| Mathisen | for example if sdb1 is the partition you want | 00:18 |
| thebope | ahhhh | 00:19 |
| thebope | okay lets see | 00:19 |
| thebope | that makes sense, now I need to mount the partitions | 00:19 |
| thebope | when I was imaging the disk I only wanted to use the disk number | 00:19 |
| thebope | now that I'm mounting things I need the partition as well | 00:19 |
| thebope | all coming together | 00:19 |
| TJ- | derpingit: it's hard to say without messing with the same steps you went through, but it seems like at some point your triggered a source package's "make install" which used the --prefix=/usr/local default. In which case it is possible there's a "make uninstall" to undo it from the same source directory | 00:20 |
| thebope | thanks Mathisen and Platonides, even better than it just working I learned something ;-) | 00:21 |
| Platonides | you are welcome, thebope | 00:21 |

| transhumanist | Hi! I am trying to understand NFS, never worked with it before. Some directions give the line : 12.34.56.789:/home /mnt/nfs/home nfs auto,noatime,nolock,bg,nfsvers=3,intr,tcp,actimeo=1800 0 0 ::: My confusion is on the ip address, is that the address of the server where the nfs packages are installed or is that an arbitrary address on the subnet where the NFS server is being broadcast to, similar to python -m, http server? | 01:07 |
| TJ- | transhumanist: "man nfs" gives the format of the entry for fstab/mount. 12.34.56.78 is the NFS server's IP address (or hostname) | 01:09 |
| transhumanist | ok thanks because I thought it might be similar to python -m http server , thanks for the clarification! | 01:10 |

| lotuspsychje | !info mariadb-server-devel | 05:50 |
| ubottu | Package mariadb-server-devel does not exist in bionic | 05:50 |
| lotuspsychje | chris349: did you install mariadb-server ? | 05:51 |
| lotuspsychje | !info libmariadb-dev | chris349 could it be this package? | 05:54 |
| ubottu | chris349 could it be this package?: libmariadb-dev (source: mariadb-connector-c): MariaDB Connector/C, development files. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.0.3-1build1 (bionic), package size 145 kB, installed size 575 kB | 05:55 |
| AndyChow888 | The lib is not the main. | 05:55 |
| lotuspsychje | AndyChow888: ah, ok i dont see other packages in apt cache | 05:56 |
| chris349 | I have no idea. All I know is in CentOS theres a -dev package for everything and I cant find that in Ubuntu | 05:56 |
| AndyChow888 | apt-get install mariadb-server | 05:57 |
| AndyChow888 | You probably already have it installed, lotuspsychje | 05:57 |
| lotuspsychje | AndyChow888: its not for me | 05:57 |
| chris349 | AndyChow888, I know that. But if I want to compile something against mariadb-server I need -dev package the contains the headers, etc | 05:57 |
| AndyChow888 | chris349, the build-essential should cover it. | 05:58 |
| AndyChow888 | Then do your git, make, make config, make install, and you're on your way. | 05:58 |
| chris349 | AndyChow888, That would be the build tools such as make, etc | 05:58 |
| AndyChow888 | Yeah, make, gcc, everything. | 05:59 |
| AndyChow888 | But, I'm assuming you know what you are doing. | 05:59 |
| AndyChow888 | When compiling, batteries aren't included. | 05:59 |
| chris349 | You dont get it | 06:00 |
| AndyChow888 | I don't? Lol. | 06:00 |
| lotuspsychje | chris349: please stay polite, he's trying to help you | 06:00 |
| chris349 | I want to install and use the mariadb-server package in ubuntu and compile OTHER software against it. Maybe I write my own mariadb client. I need the mariadb headers. | 06:00 |
| chris349 | In any normal linux that is is the mariadb-dev package | 06:00 |
| chris349 | In ubuntu I cant find -dev package for ANYTHING | 06:00 |
| AndyChow888 | Ah, ok. | 06:00 |
| lotuspsychje | chris349: ubuntu doesnt support own compiled packages | 06:00 |
| lotuspsychje | chris349: we reccomend using packages from the official repos | 06:01 |
| mouses | chris349: that's because it's mariadb-devel | 06:01 |
| mouses | at least according to google *shrugs* | 06:01 |
| mouses | but yeah, it's best to use the repos | 06:01 |
| lotuspsychje | mouses: mariadb-devel doesnt show in apt cache neither | 06:01 |
| mouses | lotuspsychje: dang it, might have found outdated info | 06:02 |
| lotuspsychje | perhaps its included in another package now? | 06:02 |
| AndyChow888 | How do you want to compile other software against maria? Just use the git. | 06:02 |
| AndyChow888 | https://github.com/MariaDB | 06:02 |
| AndyChow888 | Are you looking to do static linking? | 06:03 |
| chris349 | For e.g. in apt-cache I see the packages apache2 and apache2-dev. If I wanted to install the version of apache2 from the ubuntu repo and then complile my own apache2 module I would need to install both packages. | 06:09 |
| chris349 | How do I do this for mariadb in ubuntu? | 06:09 |
| AndyChow888 | You would need neither, actually. | 06:10 |
| === nshireTimeout is now known as nshire | ||
| chris349 | AndyChow888, So in ubuntu if I want to use apache2 I do not need to install it? | 06:11 |
| AndyChow888 | You want to use it, or compile it? | 06:11 |
| AndyChow888 | Not the same thing. | 06:11 |
| chris349 | I want to install and use the (e.g.) apache2 package from the Ubuntu repo | 06:12 |
| chris349 | Then once thats installed I want to compile ONLY my own module (for e.g.) | 06:12 |
| chris349 | So I install apache2 and apache2-dev (and build tools, gcc, etc) | 06:13 |
| AndyChow888 | So install the build-essentials, compile your thing. When you get error messages, print them, and we'll talk more. | 06:13 |
| chris349 | If it was up to me I would be using CentOS, Fedora or Opensuse. But its not for me. I am setting up this machine for someone who isnt the smartest. So I want to have it setup as good as possible to avoid issues | 06:15 |
| AndyChow888 | Compiling software is not for everyone, nor is trying to create your own packages, as you seem to be, which depend on various external libraries. | 06:16 |
| AndyChow888 | If you just want to use apache, or maria, just install the binaries, and use them directly. | 06:17 |

| AndyChow888 | But if you like it, you like it. | 06:27 |
| Kaidok5797 | Ohhh see thats what Im missing right now in Ubuntu. Too much open space | 06:27 |
| AndyChow888 | The open space is supposed to distract less. | 06:27 |

| Kaidok5797 | Will do. This place has been fantastic for help just getting installed. I had a rough go at it.. interesting problems came up. | 06:43 |

| Kaidok5797 | Yup and thats my end goal | 06:44 |

| AndyChow888 | You do not have the abilities, for now. But you can and will acquire them, as required. | 06:46 |
| Kaidok5797 | Yea... I came into this knowing there would be a big learning curve at times... learning new stuff is another one of my goals in doing this too. | 06:47 |
| AndyChow888 | Just don't get lost in the details, and you'll make it work for you. Most get lost in the details after a while. | 06:47 |
| Kaidok5797 | What details do they get lost in? | 06:47 |

I can connect to my NextCloud on LAN, but not through the internet. I get Not Found "The requested URL /nextcloud was not found on this server." | 07:32 |
| AndyChow888 | RickRNF, dit you forward the ports through your modem? | 07:32 |
| RickRNF | Yes | 07:33 |
| AndyChow888 | I would suggest that you didn't. | 07:33 |
| AndyChow888 | If you did, connect to your modem | 07:33 |
| AndyChow888 | 's IP, with the port extension. | 07:33 |
| AndyChow888 | Let | 07:34 |
| AndyChow888 | s say your local IP is 192.168.1.1, and your modem is 232.231.1.1, then connect to 232.231.1.1:443 | 07:35 |
| RickRNF | http://www.canyouseeme.org/ says both 90 and 443 are open. If I go to my modem's ip:80 it works and ip:443 does not work | 07:37 |

| Kaidok5797 | it makes me hit that key twice for it to show up. | 08:17 |
| Kaidok5797 | Is that normal? | 08:17 |
| Kaidok5797 | same with ¨ | 08:17 |
| ducasse | that's called a 'dead letter', some keyboard layouts have some of them | 08:18 |
| Kaidok5797 | so I would need to change my keyboard layout? | 08:18 |
| ducasse | try typing ˝ and then o - you should get ő | 08:19 |
| Kaidok5797 | yea | 08:19 |
| Kaidok5797 | same with a | 08:19 |
| Kaidok5797 | ä | 08:19 |
| ducasse | it's for writing those characters | 08:20 |
| Kaidok5797 | umlauts | 08:20 |
| JimBuntu | "o- | 08:20 |
| JimBuntu | What is this wizardry? | 08:20 |
| Kaidok5797 | can I make it not do that? | 08:20 |
| ducasse | use another layout, i guess - see if there is one without dead letters | 08:20 |
| Guest9103 | Howdy, how can I grep files that has a wildcard(*) in the filename? | 08:21 |
| Guest9103 | I imagine ls | grep hello*.txt will also return hello5.txt | 08:22 |
| JimBuntu | Guest9103, using ' | 08:22 |
| ducasse | Guest9103: escape the wildcard, like this: \* | 08:22 |
| Guest9103 | Ok, two answers. I guess I get to pick | 08:22 |
| Guest9103 | ducasse: what if I dont know on which position the * is in the filename? | 08:23 |
| Guest9103 | Grep all files containing a wildcard in the filename, for an example | 08:23 |
| ducasse | 'grep *\**' | 08:23 |
| EriC^ | Guest9103: ls | grep "hello\*.txt" | 08:23 |
| Guest9103 | I'll try that | 08:24 |
| EriC^ | quotes so bash escapes it, and the \ for grep to escape | 08:24 |
| EriC^ | Guest9103: to answer your second question | grep "*" | 08:26 |
| Guest9103 | Would it be safe to use rm -rf "*" for these files as well? | 08:29 |
| EriC^ | rm -rf "*" won't do anything | 08:29 |
| EriC^ | it works with grep cause grep gets the letter and shows it all | 08:29 |
| EriC^ | like abcd | grep c , would capture it | 08:30 |
| Guest9103 | The issue at point is that I have a script that go through each file in a directory and then performs mv $file $dest and ln -s $dest $file, when there is a start in the filename the script bogs down | 08:31 |
| Guest9103 | so looking for ways to avoid this | 08:31 |

| qswz | ducasse: ok, thanks, a bit painful to manage :( | 08:35 |
| ducasse | syrin: try 'dpkg -P packagename' | 08:37 |
| EriC^ | Guest9103: i'd recommend using -x in the script to see the output of what it's doing and exactly what's happening | 08:39 |
| syrin | same error: https://pastebin.com/fvCGQzAs | 08:43 |
| Guest9103 | EriC^: my misstake was I didnt have the quotes on the paths | 08:44 |
| Guest9103 | which caused the wildcard to be used as a pattern matching | 08:44 |
| EriC^ | aha | 08:46 |
| EriC^ | good job, thanks for the feedback | 08:46 |

| meowschwitz | in case anyone here interested with the outcome of my investigation of IPs disappearing from one of the interfaces, as I ranted yesterday | 08:55 |
| meowschwitz | it was systemd | 08:55 |
| vlt | ignatiz-: The connection to the server you’re updating from. | 08:55 |
| meowschwitz | it copied the config from netplan to /run/systemd/network while netplan was managing the interface during the initial deployment | 08:55 |
| meowschwitz | which it hence decided to manage | 08:56 |
| ignatiz- | vlt, is it worth changing the server that I'm connecting to? | 08:56 |
| JimBuntu | interesting meowschwitz | 08:56 |
| vlt | ignatiz-: Yes. You can put one close to you in /etc/apt/sources.list | 08:56 |
| ignatiz- | vlt, is there somewhere I can see the list of servers I can connect to? | 08:57 |

| florinski | Hi I'm preparing a book, papersize A5, PDF-format. Now I'm fiddling with fontsize and margins, printing two logical A5 pages on one physical A4 page. I note that my printer cannot print up to the actual physical margin of the sheet. This result in the printouts always being scaled. Even if I switch scaling of in the printer dialogue (evince, qpdfview, okular) it does not change. Do you have an idea how to print withou | 10:12 |
| florinski | t downscaling? Thank you in advance. | 10:12 |
| TJ- | florinski: sounds like a printer driver bug. Have you checked the CUPS printer administration options for that printer ( http://localhost:631/ ) | 10:17 |
| florinski | TJ-, yes I have but I can't set any margins there nor any scaling. | 10:19 |
| paxous | my nyga | 10:21 |
| florinski | TJ-, what I found on the internet is that you can program KYOCERA printers by sending them plain text code in a language called PRESCRIBE. In order to reduce the physical margins in the printer's own settings. But I'm about to mess around with that because I just don't know how to send plain text to my printer. | 10:22 |
| florinski | TJ-, correction: I'm at the moment not playing around with prescribe ... | 10:24 |
| fedora29 | should I switch from fedora to ubuntu? | 10:26 |

| JackWinter | having problems with efibootmgr segfaulting first time i run it, which breaks the ubiquity installer. if i try to run it again, then nothing happens. is this a good channel to ask for help? | 10:28 |
| lotuspsychje | !latest | fedora29 | 10:28 |
| ubottu | fedora29: 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. | 10:28 |

| lotuspsychje | !lamp | paxous start here | 10:38 |
| ubottu | paxous start here: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process. | 10:38 |

| nikolam | https://bpaste.net/show/262db2d4439b | 11:04 |
| lotuspsychje | ddoobb: just keep your system up to date, when updates come, they come | 11:05 |
| nikolam | ddoobb, usually main versions of packages remain mostly the same, with security patches, during release support time, maybe asking on ubuntu-dev? | 11:06 |
| nikolam | lotuspsychje, It is truly good to know ahead of time what is cooking, I think he were thinking about that | 11:06 |
| ddoobb | nikolam: So LTS systems will always stay on the same version of LibreOffice (6.06) for five years? | 11:07 |
| tomreyn | JackWinter: maybe your installation media is broken, this could cause things to segfault. you can check it from the grub menu, there is an option to verify all installed packages | 11:07 |
| lotuspsychje | nikolam: nobody can predict security flaws right :p | 11:07 |
| nikolam | ddoobb, well. I don't know for sure, you need to contact dev people to know ahead what's cooking | 11:07 |
| ddoobb | nikolam: usually is that what happens? I mean firefox stays on the same version on LTS? | 11:08 |
| nikolam | ddoobb, usually supported packages remain not much changing | 11:08 |
| lotuspsychje | ddoobb: if you want to test out newer versions of packages, there are !backports, snaps or higher ubuntu versions to try other package versions | 11:08 |
| nikolam | ddoobb, firefox I think is not such a good example, because it is much dynamic as it is. | 11:09 |
| ddoobb | People running 16.04 are not on Firefox quantum then I suppose? | 11:09 |

| TJ- | sruli: you've another thing to think of; .asc (ASCII Armor) implies using PGP not S/MIME, so you've got GPG vs PKI with OS/browser embedded CAs | 12:04 |
| TJ- | sruli: I'd suggest find some authorative links for each type, on each target OS, and put host them on your own web-site and point your correspondents to that site.

| dadada | TJ-: could I get a list of all files in /etc/ /var/lib that diverge from the defaults? | 12:22 |
| blackswan | there are lists of conffiles for each package in some /var/lib/dpkg/info, i think, not sure what a command might be to list those | 12:22 |
| TJ- | dadada: you should use "apt-mark showauto" and possibly "apt-mark showmanual" rather than "dpkg --get-selections" | 12:22 |
| thinky | hi | 12:22 |
| blackswan | i live in the past. i don't think that feature was there when i learned how to do things. | 12:23 |
| BluesKaj | Hiyas all | 12:23 |
| blackswan | maybe use debconf to dump the debconf settings | 12:23 |
| TJ- | dadada: although I'd prefer using "debfoster --show-keepers" over "apt-mark ..." since it doesn't create a reliance on specific library SONAME versions | 12:24 |
| blackswan | this isn't guaranteed to get everything, but it should get you stuff that would be removed if you purged the package, at least. | 12:24 |
| thinky | i installed steam on ubuntu 18.04.1 by these commands : https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/ZgWkwRQ7pp/ but now i can not remove it | 12:24 |
| TJ- | dadada: getting the conf files should be possible using 'debsums' - to detect differences between the original default and the current installed. That is how regular package upgrades detect your local changes and prompt for which to use | 12:25 |
| blackswan | thinky: are you trying to remove "steam"? maybe you need to remove "steam:i386" | 12:25 |
| dadada | TJ-, blackswan, ty | 12:26 |
| TJ- | dadada: but, e.g., that won't help if you've got databases (e.g. mysql/mariadb/postgresql) which keep their DB files under /var/lib/ | 12:26 |
| blackswan | and the other :i386 packages you installed if you don't need them. | 12:26 |
| thinky | blackswan: yes | 12:26 |
| dadada | unfortunately the internet doesn't work for the server currently, so can't install debfoster, debsums now | 12:26 |
| TJ- | dadada: how about using apt-offline :) ? | 12:27 |
| TJ- | !info apt-offline | dadada | 12:27 |
| ubottu | dadada: apt-offline (source: apt-offline): offline APT package manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.8.1 (bionic), package size 45 kB, installed size 223 kB | 12:27 |
| thinky | but it says : Package 'steam:i386' is not installed, so not removed | 12:27 |
| dadada | there's no apt-offline installed (yet) | 12:27 |
| nikolam | lotuspsychje, sorry for slow response, were working. Yes aI also updated (X)Ubuntu today and rebooted. I didn't have a problem yesterday. | 12:27 |
| TJ- | dadada: maybe you can apt-offline apt-offline :) | 12:27 |
| dadada | maybe it's a joke | 12:27 |
| lotuspsychje | nikolam: ah, try booting a previous kernel? might be the .39 recently? | 12:28 |
| nikolam | https://bpaste.net/show/3df83a0c1a46 | 12:29 |
| dadada | TJ-: system-config-kickstarter is similar to what I want, but does too much, I don't want partitions to be setup, I just want installed packages, repository configurations and configuation files to be restored | 12:29 |
| nikolam | lotuspsychje, I also have BTRFS snaphots to try out previous state of system... | 12:29 |
| dadada | like ssh configuration and the like, and also user configs in $USER/.config and the like | 12:30 |
| nikolam | will try other kernel first lotuspsychje , ok | 12:30 |
| thinky | it says steam is not installed but i can see steam icon on applications list | 12:30 |
| TJ- | dadada: for cloning, which I do across releases (e.g. 16.04 > 18.04) debfoster is the only way to do it since it only lists the 'top-level' packages. Their dependencies pull in everything else requires, which avoids library SONAME failures | 12:30 |
| TJ- | dadada: but I generally distribute config file changes via either a git repo or by a network-shared /usr/local/ file system mounted on all hosts, that gets /usr/local/etc/ dirs/files selectively either copied or symlinked into /etc/ after the packages are installed. | 12:32 |
| TJ- | dadada: for configs where I maintain significant deltas from the defaults I use dpkg-divert extensively so there are no package-upgrade questions/conflicts | 12:33 |
| JackWinter | tomreyn: fwiw, i found this bugreport for efibootmgr: https://github.com/rhboot/efibootmgr/issues/92 it's the exact problem i'm encountering. i set it to legacy mode, wiped windows, and kde neon installs and boots perfectly well. so i don't think there is a point to create an ubuntu bug report for it, as it's an upstream bug or hardware/bios issue. i'll also won't have the hardware around to follow up a report. thanks for the help in anycase! | 12:35 |
| JackWinter | now to finally playing elite dangerous under wine :) | 12:36 |
| thinky | any help please? | 12:40 |
| CalotteMortuaire | What's your issue thinky ? | 12:44 |
| thinky | yesterday i installed steam but it shows 2 steam icons | 12:46 |
| thinky | then i removed by sudo apt remove steam command but steam icon shows in application list still | 12:46 |
| thinky | when i want to remove again it says not installed and nothing removed | 12:46 |
| thinky | how can i get rid of that? | 12:46 |
| thinky | i want to totally remove steam | 12:47 |
| nikolam | lotuspsychje, I booted previous kernel 4.15.0-38 with same updated config, it starts thunderbird then dies, also firefox dies | 12:47 |
| hateball | thinky: when you install the package steam, it only installs a launcher that helps download/install steam into your ~/ | 12:48 |
| CalotteMortuaire | I actually am not that knowledgeable so I'll let more competent people answer your question. However, I advise you to look up "purge" and "autoremove" commands with apt-get, just Google it you may find helpful answers. | 12:48 |
| thinky | hateball: i did these commands : https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/ZgWkwRQ7pp/ | 12:48 |
| hateball | thinky: so the actual steam install would be in like... ~/.steam/ and that's most likely where that shortcut points | 12:48 |
| thinky | hateball: there is no folder as steam | 12:49 |
| nikolam | https://bpaste.net/show/387654cc8f26 | 12:50 |
| JackWinter | thinky: look in ~/.local and ~/.config | 12:51 |
| JackWinter | maybe you just have a desktop file hanging around somewhere, or the system didn't really notice that it was removed so just keeps the steam menu entry around | 12:52 |
| hateball | thinky: it'll be in a dot-folder, like JackWinter said look in .local also. Not got Steam installed here at work so I can check ^^ | 12:53 |
| thinky | JackWinter: i looked and still no steam in there | 12:53 |
| hateball | thinky: if you look at the properties for the desktop shortcut it should say where it is trying to launch steam from | 12:54 |
| thinky | hateball: it is not on desktop it is on applications list | 12:54 |
| thinky | gnome app list | 12:54 |
| hateball | ah well, same thing | 12:54 |
| hateball | that said, I dont use gnome so I dont know how to check there :p | 12:55 |
| JackWinter | see if you have a steam.desktop file somewhere | 12:55 |
| JackWinter | i guess in ~/.local | 12:56 |
| JackWinter | i mean in a sub dir off ~/.local | 12:56 |
| ioria | usually in ~./local/shate/applications or in /usr/share/applications | 12:56 |
| ioria | *share | 12:56 |
| thinky | no | 12:57 |
| CalotteMortuaire | (aren't *.desktop files somewhere in /usr/share/ ?) | 12:58 |
| thinky | there are some files : steam.gufw, steam.jhansonxi, steam.png..etc | 12:58 |
| thinky | when i search "steam" | 12:58 |
| JackWinter | CalotteMortuaire: yes, but was thinking that steam was installed in ~ and not systemwide | 12:59 |
| thinky | steam.py | 12:59 |
| thinky | there are many files like that but no .desktop | 12:59 |
| CalotteMortuaire | JackWinter: that could very well be, yes. | 12:59 |
| ioria | thinky, sudo updatedb and locate steam | grep desktop | 13:00 |
| thinky | ioria: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/c4cfjgqZYW/ | 13:01 |
| ioria | thinky, should be the first one | 13:02 |
| thinky | ioria: icon is still in app list | 13:04 |
| thinky | i better uninstall lutris too | 13:06 |
| ioria | thinky, i don't know exactly what you mean with 'app list'... the Search utility you got pressing the Super key ? | 13:07 |
| thinky | gnome applications | 13:07 |
| thinky | like unity | 13:07 |
| thinky | that shows installed programs | 13:07 |
| thinky | damn :/ even i removed lutris f..ng steam icon still there | 13:11 |
| afx_ | Hello ! Anyone familiar with Recoll? | 13:12 |
| rpifan | no | 13:12 |
| thinky | finally | 13:16 |
| thinky | it is gone | 13:17 |
| thinky | lol | 13:17 |
| thinky | may i ask another question? when i do ubuntu-support-status command it shows about 165 unsupported packages. should i remove them? | 13:18 |
| CalotteMortuaire | ouch, I ran the same command as you thinky and I found 136 unsupported packages | 13:22 |
| CalotteMortuaire | I don't think it would be a good idea to remove all of them, because in the list I find packages I installed manually, icon packages, colour themes, etc. So it's not that bad imo | 13:22 |
| hateball | that just means you might have packages from universe installed for instance | 13:23 |
| BluesKaj | what's the actual command | 13:24 |
| BluesKaj | ? | 13:24 |
| hateball | BluesKaj: like he said, ubuntu-support-status | 13:24 |
| CalotteMortuaire | Add in "--unsupported-packages" to get the list | 13:24 |
| BluesKaj | hmm, Command 'ubuntu-support-status.' not found, did you mean: command 'ubuntu-support-status' from deb update-manager-core | 13:25 |
| hateball | there's no man-page, but I am guessing it just has 5 years support for packages in main and not universe/multiverse repos | 13:25 |
| BluesKaj | running kubuntu here, guess it's just for ubuntu | 13:26 |
| hateball | it's a python script in /usr/bin/ubuntu-support-status if you want to dissect it | 13:26 |
| thinky | lol | 13:26 |
| thinky | it says python3 also unsupported O.o | 13:27 |
| hateball | BluesKaj: I have it as well, on a base kubuntu install... so I guess it gets pulled with some package or other | 13:27 |
| hateball | at any rate it's not really something to worry about | 13:27 |
| thinky | ok | 13:27 |
| BluesKaj | yeah, not gonna remove packages that "seem" unsupported | 13:28 |
| thinky | ;) | 13:29 |
| InvisibleRasta | hello guys how do i specify the mirror on this command? debootstrap --arch ARCH bionic /mnt/ubuntu | 13:30 |
| InvisibleRasta | this is the output i get http://dpaste.com/1GGWTYK | 13:32 |
| InvisibleRasta | it seems that i need to specify a mirror somehow | 13:32 |
| CalotteMortuaire | I'd like to know too | 13:34 |
| sruli | TJ-: thanks for that info, with regards to the certs do you use a separate one for each email or are all in 1 cert? I want to add signature to another email address and am wondering if there is a way to add it to my existing cert or i need to create a new one. | 13:35 |

| dj_dragon | i need help configuring mail server | 13:51 |
| hateball | dj_dragon: That is a bit out of the scope of support for this channel. Based on *which* server, there's probably a channel dedicated to it | 13:52 |
| solsTiCe | hi. from https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/documentation/iw#setting_tx_power the value to use to set txpower is to be in mBm. but I just used `sudo iw dev wlp2s0 set txpower limit 21` and iw dev reports a txpower of 21 dBm. So is that doc old ? of course there is nothing in the man page. also being in europe, an crda/iw reg set acorrding to this, txpower should not be more than 20. why does it even work for 21 ? in | 13:53 |
| solsTiCe | the first place ? or seems to work | 13:53 |
| CalotteMortuaire | does anyone know why creating .sh file through Nautilus makes it automatically executable ? Is there a way to configure it so that it has to be made executable manually ? I honestly don't like the idea of any .sh created with a right clic being directly x'able | 13:59 |
| tomreyn | CalotteMortuaire: how did you 'create it through Nautilus'? | 14:02 |
| === e_motion_afk is now known as e_motion | ||
| e_motion | Its more like a feature. Cause its probably ment to be a script, its made executable | 14:03 |
| e_motion | Idk if this behavior is stoppable | 14:03 |
| CalotteMortuaire | tomreyn: i meant right clic > New Doc. This doesn't happen for example when I create a file through CLI "echo "test" > file.sh" | 14:03 |
| tomreyn | CalotteMortuaire: when i do RMB -> "New document" -> "Plain text" I get a file called "Plain Text.txt" which is not executable. how do you create the script via gui? | 14:05 |
| CalotteMortuaire | tomreyn: It's not necessarily a script, it happens with any text file I create by right clicking in Nautilus > New Document > Empty Document | 14:06 |
| ignatiz- | I've installed 18.04 on my Acer Aspire v3-572pg-530y and it's failing to detect WiFi adapter / LAN cable adapter. I can get it to work on USB > Ethernet. Where can I download all of the relevant drivers for my machine? | 14:07 |
| tomreyn | CalotteMortuaire: hmm i don't have the "empty document" option there. what is the file called when you create it like this, or what happened after you choose this option? | 14:07 |
| tomreyn | CalotteMortuaire: also, which ubuntu version? i'm on 18.04.1 amd64, english locale. | 14:07 |
| CalotteMortuaire | tomreyn: I'm on 16.04. When I right click inside Nautilus > New Document > Empty Document, it creates a file called "New Document" but I generally change its name to *.txt or *.sh. Even if the file is emty, it's x'able. When I type in CLI "echo "text" > file.sh" the file isn't natively x'able, which I think is better and safer. It just annoys me to create text files through GUI and have to | 14:10 |
| CalotteMortuaire | manually un-x'able them | 14:10 |
| tomreyn | ignatiz-: please run: sudo lshw -short -numeric -class network | pastebinit | 14:11 |
| pragmaticenigma | solsTiCe: As the article you posted states at the very top, the configuration tool is still under active development. This would explain why the man page is incomplete and why there might be missing validation for the setting. To verify properly if it is a bug, you should look through the source code and find out what it does with that option. | 14:13 |
| tomreyn | CalotteMortuaire: yes, this seems wrong to me, i suggest you check for existing bug reports and report a new bug if there is none. the "ubuntu-bug nautilus" command may help you do so. | 14:13 |
| ignatiz- | tomreyn, http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/bZhzBDMdmS/ | 14:13 |
| Bluewolf | Good day. I'm trying to install a package for a friend and Its not allowing me to - Here is the error: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/rVtmQqdt7Z/ | 14:14 |
| pragmatic_enigma | Bluewolf: Support for 3rd party installation is not available here. you will have to reach out to the maintainer of that software for help | 14:15 |
| BluesKaj | CalotteMortuaire, are you creating these docs in "root"in nautilus? | 14:15 |
| Bluewolf | pragmatic_enigma: Okay - So its not my terrible use of the command line? :D | 14:16 |
| pragmatic_enigma | Bluewolf: It might also help to read the entire error message... often answers to your own questions are right there in the message | 14:16 |
| CalotteMortuaire | tomreyn: thanks a lot mate, I'll try that | 14:17 |
| === pragmatic_enigma is now known as pragmaticenigma | ||
| solsTiCe | pragmaticenigma: it does not do anyhting on the value inputted. just pass it along to libnl I guess as is. May be libnl has some magic or not ? | 14:18 |
| CalotteMortuaire | BluesKaj: just checked with ls, the owner of the documents created through Nautilus aren't root but me, the usual user. | 14:18 |
| BluesKaj | CalotteMortuaire, ok | 14:19 |
| pragmaticenigma | solsTiCe: I wouldn't know, just providing highlights of what I see in the documentation that is available | 14:19 |
| Bluewolf | pragmatic_enigma: In truth, I'm terrible with commands and. I mean is it as simple as in stalling "package python-wxgtk2.8" if its dependent on it? | 14:20 |
| BluesKaj | maybe I have root in my current dir places since I use / and /home partitions | 14:20 |
| tomreyn | ignatiz-: for the wireless, you may need to: sudo apt update && sudo apt install firmware-b43-installer broadcom-sta-dkms | 14:20 |
| pragmaticenigma | Bluewolf: only one way to find out | 14:20 |
| solsTiCe | pragmaticenigma: iw is supposed to replace iwconfig. iwconfig is deprecated. iw is in active developpment that is a good thing. As stated in the doc, it is just like the kernel. that does not mean it is alpha or beta quality | 14:21 |
| BluesKaj | pragmaticenigma, think Bluewolf is wondering wth is going on :-) | 14:21 |
| pragmaticenigma | solsTiCe: This conversation is no longer on topic for this channel. Please feel free to discuss in #ubuntu-discuss or #ubuntu-offtopic | 14:22 |
| solsTiCe | really ? | 14:22 |
| pragmaticenigma | BluesKaj: And the teachable moment for Bluewolf is to read the error message all the way through. As the answer to their problem was in the error message. | 14:23 |
| tomreyn | ignatiz-: the RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller [10EC:8168] should normally work out of the box, maybe post: journalctl --system | pastebinit | 14:23 |
| ignatiz- | tomreyn, thanks, it's doing that now. For some reason it's stuck at 80kB/s when it's on 100Mb fibre connection | 14:23 |
| tomreyn | ignatiz-: the ubuntu mirror servers are currently very, very loaded | 14:23 |
| ignatiz- | tomreyn, how come? It's been like that for me all day | 14:24 |
| Bluewolf | BluesKaj: Hahaha you read my mind. pragmaticenigma: I followed the error down the rabbit hole, it lead me to this: E: Package 'python-wxgtk2.8' has no installation candidate. | 14:25 |
| Bluewolf | Apologises for the noobyness, I'm terrible with this stuff. | 14:25 |
| tomreyn | ignatiz-: i dont know the details, just the fact. you can switch to a local mirror server and should get much faster throughput | 14:25 |
| telamohn | Uh hey guys, anyone here experiencing issue from resuming from screen-poweroff/lockscreen on 18.10? | 14:25 |
| ignatiz- | tomreyn, how do I do that? | 14:25 |
| ignatiz- | tomreyn, this is a fresh install of 18.04 that I have just installed 1 hour ago btw, everything is default | 14:26 |
| BluesKaj | Bluewolf, join the club :-) | 14:26 |
| telamohn | Both my newly upgraded 18.10 were failed to give me my desktop back when i woke up this morning. | 14:27 |
| pragmaticenigma | Bluewolf: That is because you are installing a piece of software that isn't supported. If the package isn't available in the Ubuntu supplied software repositories, it's not supported here. 3rd parties often include dependencies for software not available, which is also why it's not supported here. Given your self titled "noob" status, you should stick to the tools and software provided as is. | 14:27 |
| Bluewolf | I'm still trying to work out just how pragmatic the enigma actually is as well :P | 14:27 |
| BluesKaj | ok ,stuff to do, BBL | 14:27 |
| Bluewolf | pragmaticenigma: Fair enough. welp and thanks | 14:28 |
| tomreyn | ignatiz-: i understand so much. to change your mirror server, run "software-properties-gtk" - then under "Download from" select "Other" and pick a location close to you | 14:29 |
| pragmaticenigma | Bluewolf: Again, you should be reaching out to the community that is behind the software you wish to install, they can help you. If you can't find support from them, then you should consider a different piece of software. | 14:29 |
| tomreyn | ignatiz-: you can take a look at this list to get an idea of which mirror may be a good choice: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors | 14:30 |
| tomreyn | ignatiz-: you'd want one which is not that far behind, and one which has a high throughput. security updates are always directly loaded from canonical, so haivng the other mirrors lag a day or three behind is not much of a concern. | 14:32 |
| Bluewolf | pragmaticenigma: I'm searching for that now. Problem is, the particular nature of this program is few and far between on Linux. I mean there are others, just not that fit the required criteria. Thanks for the assistance :y: | 14:33 |
| pragmaticenigma | I found help in 5 min with a simple google search... Bluewolf, it's not that hard | 14:33 |
| telamohn | Bluewolf: What program did you have issues with? ( Sorry joining the conversation late) | 14:35 |
| ignatiz- | tomreyn, thanks I got one that's much faster. I installed those drivers but it still says no WiFi adapter connected | 14:35 |
| lotuspsychje | telamohn: acpi issues depends alot of your computer brand on ubuntu, try to dig in your syslog for relevant issues | 14:35 |
| lotuspsychje | telamohn: in some cases: bios update can do magic | 14:36 |
| Bluewolf | pragmaticenigma: Indeed. Thanks again. | 14:36 |
| pragmaticenigma | telamohn: it's an application that is provided by a 3rd party, it's not supported in this channel | 14:36 |
| telamohn | lotuspsychje: thanks, i found a slack thread with people experiencing similar issues, it's just i have a thinkpad laptop and amd-based desktop-pc that both show exactly the same symptoms. | 14:36 |
| Bluewolf | telamohn: Its fine thanks, I'm well on my way. | 14:37 |
| lotuspsychje | telamohn: yes, alot of lenovo acpi issues out there, check gnome-software if you see lenovo firmware updates too | 14:37 |
| ignatiz- | tomreyn, here's the other pastebin http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/2Hx9QDVhSr/ | 14:38 |
| telamohn | lotuspsychje: yeah about that, my update is blank, but I upgraded to 18.10 two days ago without any issues, I suspect i received a bad patch through auto-updates yesterday evening. | 14:41 |
| telamohn | Found guys with similar issue on stackof: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1083950/ubuntu-18-10-issue-with-screen-inactivity-and-lock-screen | 14:42 |
| lotuspsychje | telamohn: did you experience this in 18.04.1? | 14:46 |
| telamohn | no never | 14:46 |
| telamohn | As i said, i upgraded couple of days ago, been happily using 18.10 without issues. | 14:47 |
| lotuspsychje | telamohn: file a bug against 18.10 then | 14:47 |
| telamohn | alright, uh, sorry i've never filed bugs for ubuntu before, where do i do that again? | 14:47 |
| lemko | is it me or today ubuntu package repositories server are slow for xenial? | 14:48 |
| lotuspsychje | telamohn: ubuntu-bug affectedpackage (from terminal) | 14:48 |
| lotuspsychje | lemko: wich country please? | 14:48 |
| lemko | CZ | 14:48 |
| lemko | Czech republic | 14:48 |
| lotuspsychje | lemko: we had reports from canada & france today, please join #ubuntu-mirrors | 14:48 |
| lotuspsychje | telamohn: ubuntu bug will then automaticly direct you to launchpad, where you need to enter a title and your storys description | 14:51 |
| lotuspsychje | telamohn: feel free to share the bugs link to us afterwards | 14:51 |
| tomreyn | ignatiz-: it may require rebooting or following the instructions at https://wiki.debian.org/wl#Installation to replace or reload the drivers for the broadcom (bcm) chipset | 14:51 |
| ignatiz- | reboot did indeed work for the wifi drivers! | 14:52 |
| TJ- | sruli: been out running... With PGP I have some keys with multiple identities (email addresses) attached, and some a single identity. For S/MIME X509 certificates it depends on if the certificate is free or paid-for and what it allows for the Common-Name/Subject-Alt Name fields | 14:56 |
| sruli | TJ-: already added more emails to my key, now trying to upload it, the pub key remains the same after adding identity? | 14:57 |
| TJ- | sruli: yes, my primary key has about 20 email addresses added! | 14:58 |
| telamohn | lotuspsychje: wow that's handy! But i'm not sure i know which `package` is affected by this. my laptop is using the password-lockscsreen but my desktop dosent. | 14:59 |
| telamohn | so i'm not sure if i should blame the lockscreen :D | 15:00 |
| lotuspsychje | telamohn: try to bug against 'linux' as it might be acpi/kernel related | 15:00 |
| telamohn | Not quite sure really how to describe this problem either, "Screen stuck after resuming from screen-blank/timeout" ? | 15:00 |
| lotuspsychje | telamohn: that sounds good | 15:01 |
| telamohn | alright thank you man! | 15:01 |
| tomreyn | ignatiz-: sorry, i lakck the time to help you now. so i'll just describe the general approach. when some network device (be it ethernet or wireless) doesn't work, you first need to find out the chipset. those are (not uniquely, but very closely) descrivbed by the hhhh:hhhh (with 'h' in 0..9,a..f) IDs provided in the hwinfo command's output i provided earlier. you then do a web search for this id combined with "linux OR ubuntu OR debian", e.g.: | 15:01 |
| tomreyn | linux OR ubuntu OR debian "1234:abcd" | 15:01 |
| sruli | TJ-: adding the pub key to keyserver.ubuntu.com is enough for all major keyservers (such as http://pgp.mit.edu, keys.mailvelope.com, etc)? | 15:02 |
| tomreyn | ignatiz-: this should help you find instructions on how to use make it work. or just keep asking here for others to help out. | 15:02 |

| pragmaticenigma | Hello luna_, Do you have an Ubuntu support question? | 15:04 |
| ignatiz- | tomreyn, thank you for the answer! I will do some further research :) | 15:04 |
| luna | pragmaticenigma: nope | 15:05 |
| TJ- | sruli: yes, last time I checked it was still part of the keyserver pool | 15:05 |
| pragmaticenigma | okay luna, please feel free to use #ubuntu-offtopic and #ubuntu-discuss for non-support related conversations and discussions | 15:05 |
| sruli | TJ-: just checked keys.mailvelope.com and my original key from 2016 wasnt there, uploaded it there | 15:06 |

| luna | pragmaticenigma: okay | 15:06 |
| TJ- | sruli: is that not a part of https://sks-keyservers.net/ ? | 15:08 |
| sruli | TJ-: i dont see it in their status page https://sks-keyservers.net/status/ | 15:09 |
| TJ- | sruli: looks like Ubuntu's keyserver is no longer in the pool | 15:11 |

| mfilipe | hey! how do I configure my firefox-snap to use the fonts of the system? | 15:20 |
| pragmaticenigma | mfilipe: You can't... also, why are you using the Firefox Snap? | 15:21 |
| mfilipe | pragmaticenigma: I like the concept of the snap packages | 15:22 |
| mfilipe | I think it's better than the normal packages | 15:22 |
| mfilipe | pragmaticenigma: are you sure that firefox can't get the system fonts? | 15:23 |
| pragmaticenigma | mfilipe: snaps run in an isolated sandbox. They have no access to other system components. Without proper permissions set by the snap maintainer, it cannot access many system features. | 15:23 |

| albech | TJ-: was pretty surprised myself that it wasnt available. Must be lots of people requesting such feature | 15:44 |
| TJ- | albech: could you do it via the image's EXIF UserComment field? | 15:46 |
| albech | TJ-: could also be an app on the mobile device that edit the EXIF and just share to nextcloud | 15:46 |
| albech | TJ-: you were faster than me :) | 15:46 |

| SkyWay | font is 1 | 17:02 |

| sruli | TJ-: on 16.04 its version 1.81 which is light years ago | 17:04 |
| SkyWay | changing the theme would give titlebars specific things as hiding them? not sure.. lotuspsychje | 17:05 |

| chris349 | I installed Ubuntu on a machine with secure boot enabled. During the install Ubuntu asked me to make a password to register a certificate with the UEFI secure boot. Now I want to install another kernel module. How can I find the location of this certifcate, so I do not have to register another one with the UEFI secure boot? | 19:27 |
| telamohn | TJ-: nah, it resuming from blank, i've had about 50% success for now to wake the computer up. Or rather it always wakes and lock screen works, but when i unlock the screen lock then the desktop is just frozen, only sidebar and system-bar animation works at it should but interacting with it dosen't do anything. | 19:29 |
| telamohn | So i'm not suspecting faulty drivers/kernel. i'm guessing the issue is on a higher level. | 19:30 |
| TJ- | telamohn: so this happens after resuming from S3 suspend to RAM? | 19:31 |
| telamohn | tried purging and reinstalling ubuntu-desktop and gdm3 packages as well. | 19:32 |
| telamohn | S3? | 19:32 |
| telamohn | TJ-: what's s3? | 19:33 |
| TJ- | S3 is the 'sleep level' when everything gets powered off but the RAM | 19:33 |
| TJ- | telamohn: so the PC can wake up and pick up immediately where it suspended | 19:34 |
| telamohn | yes applications are all there but desktop is glitched. | 19:34 |
| telamohn | Or rather, it's a stationary computer, I don't suspend it to S3. | 19:35 |
| telamohn | So it's just the screen-powered off afaik. | 19:35 |
| telamohn | Once it gone into that glitched desktop state the screen goes to sleep after 3 minutes but i don't get the lock-screen, it's like ubuntu-desktop just completley stopped responding. | 19:38 |
| telamohn | just killed all gdm & gdm3 pocesses and did a `service gdm3 start` , got my desktop back again. let's see what happend next screen blank. | 19:41 |
| telamohn | *happens | 19:41 |
| sheen | Hi there | 19:52 |
| sheen | I have issues with an hardware Raid 1 Dell Perc 5i (LSI 8480E) and an Ubuntu based distro (Mint 19). Raid is healthy (checked in adapter firmware, on windows megaraid tool, and on linux with megacli), but I/O Error when mounting the drive. I've already done chkdsk /F 2 times under Windows, no errors. I don't get what is the problem. Thanks for your help. | 19:52 |
| Xatenev | hello | 20:00 |
| Xatenev | Ive installed XDM and it doesn't let me select my window manager | 20:00 |
| Xatenev | what can I do to use the window manager I want? | 20:00 |
| ioria | Xatenev, you probably need toset a ~/.xsession file | 20:03 |
| Xatenev | ioria: with what content? do you have a useful link? | 20:04 |
| Xatenev | ioria: i want to use i3 | 20:04 |
| ioria | Xatenev, 1) set it as executable 2) use the i3 binary or the command that starts it | 20:05 |
| ioria | Xatenev, nano ~/.xsession ; type in it ' i3 ' (without the quotes; chmod 700 ~/.xsession | 20:06 |
| Xatenev | it worked | 20:07 |
| Xatenev | i typed ``exec i3`` in it though | 20:07 |
| ioria | ok | 20:07 |
| Xatenev | ioria: thanks that was easy :) | 20:07 |
| ioria | yep | 20:07 |
| Xatenev | bah,, i3 has an issue in virtualbox | 20:08 |
| Xatenev | when i go into fullscreen mode theres a padding on top and bottom :( | 20:09 |
| ioria | Xatenev, they say should be fixed in the 5.2 releases | 20:12 |
| Greyztar | is there any one way to make bash commands from all sessions appear in bash history,seems i only get from selected sessions or so | 20:21 |
| Greyztar | from 1 user | 20:22 |
| Xatenev | ioria: are you still around? | 20:23 |
| Xatenev | I have one more :P | 20:23 |
| ioria | shoot | 20:23 |
| Xatenev | it seems when I go into fullscreen mode, i3 doesn'T really recognize my correct screen height | 20:23 |
| === SimonNL_Afk is now known as SimonNL | ||
| Xatenev | when i type in xrandr i can see 1920x975 instead of the correct 1920x1080 | 20:23 |
| ioria | Xatenev, known issue | 20:23 |
| Xatenev | oh | 20:23 |
| Xatenev | cool | 20:23 |
| Xatenev | what can I do? :P | 20:23 |
| Xatenev | is there even a fix yet? | 20:24 |
| ash_worksi | is there a way to start a script command using a prompt? | 20:24 |
| ioria | Xatenev, open a ticket on vb ? :þ | 20:24 |
| Xatenev | ioria: I thought its a known issue | 20:24 |
| Xatenev | ioria: shouldnt a ticket be open then already? .o | 20:24 |
| Xatenev | ioria: I thought i can maybe use some cool xrandr command to just use 1920x1080 | 20:24 |
| Xatenev | even though i3 doesnt automatically recognize it | 20:24 |
| Xatenev | and then reload i3 | 20:25 |
| ioria | Xatenev, we can try | 20:25 |
| Xatenev | xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1920x1080 doesnt work atleast | 20:25 |
| Xatenev | :p | 20:25 |
| chriswitt | hello, i installed as snap (nextcloud) now i see all data it writes belongs to root. is this normal or did i create a security mess, having nextcloud-snap run as root? | 20:26 |
| ioria | Xatenev, ah | 20:26 |
| ioria | Xatenev, try xrandr -d:0 --output VGA1 --mode 1920x1080 | 20:27 |
| Xatenev | unrecognized option -d:0 | 20:29 |
| ioria | Xatenev, xrandr --display :0 --output VGA1 --auto | 20:30 |
| Xatenev | ioria: that worked! | 20:33 |
| Xatenev | ioria: amazing | 20:33 |
| ioria | ok | 20:33 |
| Xatenev | ioria: thanks a lot | 20:33 |
| ioria | no prob | 20:33 |
| ash_worksi | is there a way to start a `script` command using a prompt? | 20:37 |
| ash_worksi | bu "using a prompt" I mean, the shell is forked with PS1 set to something I define | 20:41 |
| ash_worksi | by* | 20:42 |
| ash_worksi | I just want to have the `script` command start with PS1='$ ' | 20:44 |

| azonenberg_work | Hi guys, what's the best way to report a security issue in an Ubuntu package that's fixed upstream but not backported? | 21:02 |
| ducasse | file a bug and mark it as a security issue | 21:03 |
| azonenberg_work | ducasse: file the bug where? launchpad isnt letting me file issues | 21:03 |
| azonenberg_work | seems like it wants me to use some ubuntu report-bug utility | 21:04 |
| azonenberg_work | but i run debian on my own box :) | 21:04 |
| azonenberg_work | do i really have to spin up an ubuntu VM just to file a ticket? | 21:04 |
| azonenberg_work | or is there a way to do it on launchpad | 21:04 |
| ducasse | there is a way to file it directly on launchpad, but i don't remember how - it's a bit involved | 21:05 |
| azonenberg_work | ah ok, i see - i have to find the sub-project under lp/ubuntu for the specific package | 21:05 |
| ducasse | try asking in #ubuntu-devel | 21:05 |
| azonenberg_work | yeah i figured it out | 21:06 |
| Sircle | how much disk space is needed for ubuntu and windows 10? I have a 250 g ssd. Any rough ratio guides? | 21:07 |
| Bashing-om | Sircle: 30 Gigs for ubuntu will do until you know better . | 21:10 |
| Sircle | Bashing-om, how much for windows 10 | 21:14 |
| Bashing-om | Sircle: Do not know your use case for Windows, can not advise . | 21:16 |
| ducasse | that's not something you should ask us, try ##windows | 21:16 |
| Sircle | Bashing-om, usuall apps. office, etc | 21:17 |
| Bashing-om | Sircle: Still no Windows comment - ask in #windows channel :) | 21:18 |
| SuperLag | Sircle: are you dual booting? or putting Ubuntu in a VM on top of Windows? | 21:23 |
| SuperLag | Sircle: I guess I should say are you dual-booting or using VMs. | 21:24 |
| Sircle | SuperLag, dual booting but if I can use windows inside a VM and play games and do all, I would choose that. I have m6700 laptop | 21:27 |
| Sircle | SuperLag, I use ubuntu most of the time | 21:27 |
| Sircle | SuperLag, what do you think? | 21:30 |
| Matt|home | hi .. im wondering why my home directory is mounted as noexec by default , if there's a specific purpose behind this, and if i would break anything by changing that? | 21:31 |

| EriC^^ | Matt|home: doesn't look like it's noexec | 21:33 |
| EriC^^ | where did you gather that? | 21:34 |
| Matt|home | hm. Eric : can you tell me why im running into an error while trying to run a bash script then? | 21:34 |

| JimBuntu | not a big deal, that's just the fastest way to mention it :-) | 21:35 |
| EriC^^ | Matt|home: seems the nodev is causing it | 21:35 |
| Matt|home | i assumed 'mounted with noexec or nodev' meant i couldn't execute | 21:35 |

| vedos | has anyone gotten Wickr Me to work on latest Ubuntu? | 21:36 |
| ikonia | why don't you just explain your problems | 21:40 |
| lordcirth | Yeah, what goes wrong when you try? | 21:40 |
| Sircle | SuperLag, what do you think? | 21:45 |

| Sircle | lordcirth are there any ways? | 22:05 |
| ntd | TJ-, ping | 22:05 |
| lordcirth | ntd, because it's 2018 and if you have a 32bit computer you probably don't want to run gnome 3 on it anyways | 22:06 |
| Mathisen | Sircle, you had the answer for this already before in the windows channel. i said you need knowlage about gpu passthrough | 22:06 |
| lordcirth | ntd, Xubuntu still supports 32bit, and will actually run fast on one too: https://xubuntu.org/download | 22:07 |
| Sircle | Mathisen, ok | 22:07 |
| ntd | ehm, tablets and other devices come with capable CPUs but 32-bit UEFI for some reason | 22:07 |
| MonsieurBon | On a fresh install of ubuntu I installed phpstorm and intellij ultimate with ubuntu make. This places .desktop files in .local/share/applications. They don't appear in the launcher though. How can I add them to the launcher? | 22:07 |
| lordcirth | ntd, ah, yes, there are a few such borked devices | 22:07 |
| ntd | actually, i only need i386 install media as rescue CD, then untar amd64 installation with 32-bit grub | 22:08 |
| ntd | but nooo | 22:08 |
| ntd | no i386 install media for xenial server either? | 22:09 |

| ebol4 | anyone have any idea why, when using NetworkManager, if I have an ethernet connection to my LAN, and a wifi connection to my LAN, the ethernet connection will hang for 30+ seconds after I disconnect the wifi? | 23:10 |
| ebol4 | to test this, i establish an ssh connection to the PC in question from another PC on the LAN, via the ethernet connection | 23:11 |
| ebol4 | then I enable wifi on the PC, everything still works fine at this point. Then I disable wifi, and the SSH session hangs for about a minute | 23:11 |
| ebol4 | but then it works fine after that | 23:11 |
| ebol4 | just trying to figure out why established TCP connections on the ethernet interface are affected at all by the wifi connection going down | 23:12 |
| Platonides | ebol4: I would run route before and after enabling the wifi | 23:20 |
| ebol4 | Platonides: the routes before the wifi is enabled show that ethernet is the primary route to the LAN, and after wifi is enabled, the wifi interface is the primary interface for getting to the LAN | 23:21 |
| ebol4 | which makes sense | 23:21 |
| ebol4 | but i have an established TCP connection to an IP on the ethernet interface | 23:22 |
| ebol4 | so i'm not sure why packets would be traversing the wlan0 interface to get to that IP | 23:22 |
| ebol4 | or exiting through the wlan0 interface, when the src IP is on the eth0 interface | 23:22 |
| ebol4 | welp, apparently that is just a kernel thing, and there are fixes for it | 23:23 |
| ebol4 | interesting | 23:23 |
| ebol4 | and stupid | 23:24 |
| ryuo | I have noticed my USB printer keeps "disconnecting" in dmesg every time I send a print job to the CUPS server. is this normal? | 23:24 |
| vimar | Hi | 23:25 |
| vimar | Hi | 23:25 |
| ebol4 | you can't say hi to yourself bud you gotta let someone else do that | 23:26 |
| ebol4 | hello | 23:26 |
| vimar | Hi ebol4 | 23:26 |
| vimar | nahe, I had some lag and typed before the list of nicks came up then was'nt sure if first hi was received by channel | 23:28 |
| Platonides | ebol4: I think it is initially trying (considering?) to send using the wlan interface | 23:29 |
| Platonides | as it's the primary | 23:29 |
| Platonides | which then stalls when lan is off | 23:29 |
| Platonides | as you correctly point out, it should use the eth one | 23:30 |
| ebol4 | yeah apparently this is just a thing that happens... https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/4420/reply-on-same-interface-as-incoming | 23:30 |
| Platonides | otherwise, what would it do if you had two interfaces on different networks in the same private range? | 23:30 |
| Platonides | send it to the wrong network? | 23:31 |
| ebol4 | exactly | 23:31 |
| Platonides | it should be possible to make ethernet have higher priority than wifi | 23:31 |
| Platonides | that should fix your hang | 23:31 |
| Platonides | I think that SE post summarises it :) | 23:33 |
