[00:03] OerHeks: i found a workaround [00:04] but i've run into another issue...when I do apt-mark showauto on my machine, I can see libqt4-help:i386. But when i do apt-mark install libqt4-help:i386, I get Unable to locate package libqt4-help:i386 [00:09] maybe you need to add architecture first, if the base is amd64 [00:10] dpkg --add-architecture i386 [00:15] Here is my df -h can some please tell me why so many snap entries and are they useful..https://pastebin.com/kXnCa7Lx [00:20] snap keeps basicly 3 versions on disk [00:21] you could delete old versions, but i would let it be, they are just a few mb [00:21] texla, maybe try `df -h -x"squashfs"` (or make it via alias your default df if you must) [00:24] OerHeks, I went into files,snaps and logs and all the files were empty also other have to entries I WAS just wondering why 18.04 had snaps [00:24] what is the thing in windows 10 that lets you select which audio goes to which audio controller and what is the equavilant in ubuntu [00:24] I cant use my front headphone jack for something different than the one the back can I? === sonicwind is now known as Xen2 [00:26] snaps are the new packages, universal, introduced in 16.04 [00:28] see snap revert and snap remove https://itsfoss.com/use-snap-packages-ubuntu-16-04/ [00:30] OerHeks, Thanks for the info [01:50] I need some help with ldd.

I exported some local packages using apt-get mark showauto and installed them from within docker. But it does something related to kernel and GRUB (Creating config file /etc/default/grub with new version) [02:15] how do I prevent that? what component caused all that to be triggered? === capella|away is now known as capella [02:50] whats the best virtualization software? [02:50] I used to use virtualbox on windows 10 [02:51] i use qemu/kvm with libvirt [02:51] but looking in the software store it says proprietary license and never updated [02:51] Ben64, i prefer a gui version [02:52] it is [02:52] qemu is terminal based [02:52] that's what the frontend is for [02:53] why is it better? [02:53] works well, can do passthrough and all kinds of good stuff [02:54] CoolerZ, you can get the latest from virtualbox.org. read the downloads page for how to set up the apt repos. you'll get the gpl version unless you take the extra step of installing the proprietary extensions [03:15] help UBU18.04 -- i have restarted win10 partition for only 8 mins -Spectrum and I troubleshooting wifi.

[03:49] I have also heard that newer Windows 10 updates will "mess" up ubuntu [03:49] i will look that up.. thanks. [03:58] Avion: As a starting place is what one can see with 'efibootmgr -v' . If you can not boot to a terminal in the install, then from a liveUSB. === capella is now known as capella|away [04:00] i do get a prompt of a sort https://m.imgur.com/JFgSXyS [04:00] ok will try [04:01] ls works so it's a 0rompt [04:02] Avion: initramfs prompt .. where says grub can not find its config files .

[06:33] apparently for vbox to work you need to sign the vboxdrv and other modules or disable secure boot [06:51] CoolerZ: idk i don't use secureboot [07:01] hi all. how to download ubuntu's default backgrounds of older versions [07:01] ? [07:04] rajivmars, `apt-cache search wallpapers` will show packages with wallpapers in the name; i'd massage that list into whatever you want (but I've not done it myself; there are a few non-wallpaper programs in the list that relate to wallpapers; eg. variety which isn't a wallpaper, but program to change wallpapers..) [07:05] ok [07:06] i know that but i just wanted to see older default wallpapers in ubuntu. [07:07] well it'll show ubuntu-wallpapers-artful, ubuntu-wallpaper-bionic, ubuntu-wallpaper-karmic, ubuntu... etc. which is all wallpapers for ubuntu, xubuntu, & other flavors... [07:07] yeah. i am installing. === Class7_ is now known as Class7 [08:31] Your mouse froze, and your system had to be hard rebooted. How do you find out what caused it?

[09:04] i am using 18.04 [09:05] dunno what that is, but if you want to patch the kernel, yeah you'd have to compile [09:05] ok [09:06] what are the package do i have to install to compile a kernel ,header and source and ? [09:06] if you have to ask that kind of stuff, i'd recommend not compiling your own kernel [09:07] yes true but have to start at some time /some stage where [09:07] sorry but its must now i stuck very badly [09:09] Ben64, did you ever compile a kernel ? [09:10] yep, about 15 years ago was my first [09:13] can you please help me to understand ? [09:15] sorry, would take too long [09:15] samba35, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel [09:16] upon googling, seems the acs patch is unnecessary for almost everyone [09:16] so seems like a bad idea [09:18] then how to fix it ?

[11:05] is it possible to learn* - I mean [11:05] Mia: You can take a look on syslog to guess. But out of the box... [11:06] where do I find it tchakatak [11:06] Do you have any ssh access on the server? [11:06] yes now I do [11:06] Take a look on the files in /var/log [11:06] as I've power cycled the machine, whatever was using the cpu isn't using it any more [11:07] how did you know the server was on 100%cpu ? [11:07] I've logged on to digitalocean and web UI is showing me a graph [11:07] it's hired from digitalocean [11:09] mhh, did it happend just sudently ? [11:10] realized it happened 10 hours ago [11:10] I've realized I can't connect t omy machine [11:10] and I've logged into the console [11:10] and realized it's been running on 100% cpu for the last 10 hours [11:10] so, power cycled - but I don't know what was using the cpu so I want to learn [11:10] Did you lunch anyting before it happend ? any process ? [11:11] I already have a few processes running all the time [11:11] this is a website/server [11:11] so I have around 10 nodejs processes [11:14] i would recommend to run each process and look at wich one is load. [11:14] *loading [11:18] tchakatak, how can I see what WAS using the cpu [11:18] that's all I want to learn [11:19] because this server is on for more than 3 years, this is the first time it's happening. [11:20] as i said, you can take a look into syslog to see if something went wrong at one point, but there is nothing recorded. [11:21] such as highcpu reason. You will need monitoring tools to know why if it happend again.

The issue is having this take place when opening Spotify using the icon on my dock. Usually, I'd change the Spotify.desktop file to include "Exec= $/PATH/spotify --force-device-scale-factor=2 but no such file exists when the application is installed using [11:37] snap. Can anyone help me with this? [11:47] Is it possible to format a partition to OSX Extended using GParted? It's the most compatible file system in our home. [11:48] HFS is listed in gparted format options, but greyed out. [11:52] Looks like hfsprogs just needed to be installed. They key search term was "hfs". [11:53] Only issue now is that I can't write to the partition after I mount it. [11:54] Iarla: I'm not sure you can write on osx extended from linux. had the same thing with one of my external hard drive [11:54] But if you want the 'most compatible' i would recommend you fat /exfat [11:55] thanks tchakatak, that saves me chasing a wild goose. I have files over 4GB so FAT isn't useful for us. Is exfat better for large files? [11:56] Mac cannot write to NTFS so I'm not using that either.

Is there such a thing which would recover from random touchpad clicks? When I type text on my laptop I'm constantly touching the Touchpad with my thumbs [12:26] i would expect this to be fixed at the system side [12:26] rather than at my imperfect brain side [12:26] ideas? [12:27] Hi all [12:27] fantomas: Desactivate touchpad when your typing with a bind ? [12:28] Hi BluesKaj [12:28] i think there are desktops which offer an option to disable touchpad while your're typing [12:28] tchakatak: that looks like an overkill [12:28] Hi tchakatak [12:29] does anyone know if i can run paltalk on ubuntu ? [12:29] i want to use ubuntu but this windows app is something i use alot [12:29] tchakatak: or rather - OS could do it by itself, as it;s ovbious that when I'm typing I don't use the TouchPad [12:29] and i dont think there is anything new about the new paltalk [12:30] i mean any infromation regarding running paltalk on ubuntu [12:31] fantomas: not really, play a game and use touchpad and keyboard by exemple [12:31] tchakatak: gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad disable-while-typing [12:31] tomreyn: Work only on gnome right ? [12:32] Kazdax, install wine, then IE and paltalk [12:33] !wine [12:33] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [12:33] tchakatak: yes [12:33] BluesKaj, does those things still work ?

I've formatted a 1TB disk with it for compatibility between MacOS and Ubuntu, but I've just realised it's not journalled which makes me question it's suitability for backups. Does it endure? [13:31] fantomas, if i were you i'd purge it all (384 and 390), remove xorg.conf, reboot ; check if nouveau works, (if not you use nomodeset) and reinstall nvidia [13:32] fantomas, disable secure boot (for a maxwell chipset) [13:33] fantomas, anothe thing: check in /etc/modprobe.d/ if you still have a nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf [13:34] guess I'm behind the curve on nvidia driver installs. I haven't used my old nvidia gpus for over 8 months [13:35] on this pc [13:42] ioria: thanks for the suggestion - I really had nvidia stuff in modprobe and it was blocking nouveau - moved it out [13:43] ok [13:46] Hi everyone, I got a problem. I bought a Wifi Card ASUS PCE AC56, and installed the drivers listed under "Additional drivers", but I am getting only about 50 mbps, when my line is 100 mbps. I guess it must be driver issue, since I get 93 easily when booting Windows. Is there any way I can get better performance?? [13:49] you internet is 50 mb/s [13:51] Dreaman, my internet line is 100mbps [13:51] Dbugger, try it on google speed test [13:51] but on Ubuntu I can only reach, at max, 60 mbps [13:52] my is 1gb/s and [13:52] BluesKaj, same results [13:52] call isp [13:52] Dreaman, it works on Windows 10 [13:53] so it is not a problem with the line [13:53] ok [13:56] Dbugger, using the bcmwl-kernel-source driver? [13:56] BluesKaj, not sure.. how can I check that? [13:57] look in your package manager [13:58] BluesKaj, seems to be already installed in the system [13:58] not sure if that means that I am actually using it, though... [13:59] Dbugger: can you show us "pastebinit <( iwconfig )" [13:59] Dbugger, run, modprobe wl , in the terminal [13:59] http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/ZMWwMnnmmc/ [14:00] BluesKaj, done. Nothing happened (apparently) [14:00] Dbugger, that modprobe command should load the driver, there's no output if it's loaded [14:00] BluesKaj, there was no output :/ [14:01] ok [14:01] Dbugger: strange; that output should include the signal quality and any error/retry counts. [14:01] Dbugger: can you try again as root: "pastebinit <( sudo iwconfig )" [14:02] TJ-, same output... [14:02] Dbugger: is the wifi currently connected ? [14:02] no wait [14:02] not same output [14:02] this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/2DzZhMN8Ny/ [14:03] Dbugger: OK, very good signal quality, but the link speed might be the cause "Bit Rate=144 Mb/s" [14:04] Dbugger: That is the raw radio rate; the actual usable rate will be quite a bit lower [14:04] ioria, BluesKaj - so I did it - cleared all nvidia stuff, restarted (several times) and finally got nouveau working. Then I installed nvidia drivers with `ubuntu-drivers autoinstall` and got my screwed up desktop back :( [14:04] TJ-, is low because it is configured to be low? or is it an external circumstance? [14:05] So I have only I display working (out of 3) and there is set res of 640x480 or simiar [14:05] Dbugger: I'd suggest you start a speedtest to an Internet site, and then re-run the command several times as the test is underway, and see if that 'iwconfig' report varies in any significant way [14:05] ioria: and no I didn't have any xorg.conf [14:05] Dbugger: for example, check for the error/rety counts increasing markedly, or the bitrate dropping. [14:07] TJ-, seems to be always 144 [14:10] Dbugger: Just to be sure I'd recommend checking from Windows what bit-rate it reports (you might have to dig a lot to find that info on Windows!) - if Windows reports the same then we know there is an issue in how efficient the driver is. If windows reports a higher bitrate then we can investigate why Linux driver isn't managing the same. Also - important - check that Windows is using the same 2.4GHz band. It [14:10] could be using a 5.xGHz channel where higher bit rates are easier to achieve [14:10] TJ-, it should indeed be using the 5Ghz, with my router [14:11] TJ-, is there a way to find out if my card if using the 5Ghz frequency? [14:11] Dbugger: So your Wifi AP is offering both 2.4 and 5.xGHz and Linux has chosen 2.4... right, that is useful info [14:12] TJ-, so then you think Ubuntu might not be using the 5GHz? [14:12] fantomas, I'm have no experience with multiple monitors :/ [14:12] Dbugger: do "pastebinit ( sudo iwlist scan; iwlist freq )" [14:12] as root too? === Evie|Sleep is now known as Evie [14:13] Dbugger: I already put 'sudo' in there :) [14:13] I get a parse error with that command. Did you made a syntax error? [14:13] hah I did [14:13] Dbugger: do "pastebinit <( sudo iwlist scan; iwlist freq )" [14:13] :) [14:13] * TJ- has cold fingers [14:14] http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/TgFQMgzDc7/ [14:14] Mmm... last line says "current frequency: 2.4..." [14:14] could that be it? [14:15] Dbugger: You've got FIVE APs all on channel 11!! Interference central [14:15] TJ-, not gonna lie... I have no idea what that means =P [14:16] Dbugger: there are 5 different WiFi access points within range of your PC, all trying to operate on channel 11 (the same frequency as yours) ... that means they will interfere with each other causing lost packets and latency. [14:17] Is there any "nvidia prime" aka tool for amd cpu + amd gpu? [14:17] TJ-, but that problem should also happen with Windows, no? [14:17] Dbugger: also, I only see 1 AP in the 5GHz band "o2-WLAN16" which I doubt is your FritzBox based on its SSID on 2.4GHz "FRITZ!Box 7362 SL" [14:18] TJ-, that is not me, you are right [14:18] Dbugger: well only if Windows is also connecting on 2.4GHz. You said your believe your AP/router alo operates on 5GHz, so if Windows driver connects on that band there's unlikely to be much if any interference [14:18] TJ-, I KNOW my router operated on 5Ghz [14:18] Has exFAT on linux improved much since 2012? Some comments I see online from that date caution against using it since it compared to other journalled filesystems. [14:18] https://lifehacker.com/5927185/use-the-exfat-file-system-and-never-format-your-external-drive-again [14:18] Dbugger: so I'd suggest first you confirm your AP/router *is* able to operate on 5GHz, and check that it *is* doing so [14:19] TJ-, i tried a lot. It is operating on 5Ghz, really [14:19] well, operating on both, I guess, since it is dual band =p [14:20] ups, I got disconnecting for 1 second, touching things... I am still here? [14:20] Dbugger: Your PC isn't seeing it. That may be that the AP is operating on a channel (frequency) the PC is prevented from using (there are very stringent rules on what frequencies are allowed based on region code and active signal discovery) [14:20] Dbugger: you are [14:20] * BluesKaj wonders if the windows driver scans for open channels and selects the least crowded one [14:20] TJ-, I swear it is operating on 5Ghz. I logged in into my fritzbox control panel and clearly showed the graph with the 5Ghz data transmision [14:21] Dbugger: in that last pastebin, at the end, you'll see a list of all the channels the PC can use. Compare the channel numbers above 14 (which are 5GHz) with the channel the AP is using according to its config [14:21] not sure how to do that... :/ [14:22] Dbugger: you use the FritzBox control panel - you already said you could see it operating on 5GHz. It should also tell you which channel or frequency it is using [14:23] ok, that might take a moment... because I messed up the password of my fritzbox panel, and I seems like I have to do a factory reset to be able to get in [14:23] -_- [14:25] Hello everyone [14:25] Im going to do it, brb [14:26] I have one quick question: if I installed a self sign cert with mokutil, would the self sign cert store in my build-in firmware's certificate database? or it's store in the the mok database which is a separate file store in local disk? [14:32] HaMsTeRs: mokutil stores in the shim database [14:36] Hi TJ- :) nice to see you here. [14:36] So shim database is store in hard disk right? not in BIOS or machine firmware? [14:44] HaMsTeRs: I'd hope it was in the PC's NVRAM EFI variable database! [14:45] hm. [14:48] TJ-, ok, im back [14:48] HaMsTeRs: Looking at te shim code, it uses the variables MokList and MokListRT to store the enabled keys and hashes [14:48] so the boot order is like: Firmware UEFI check if shim is signed->SHIM check the local mok db (which stored in local hard disk) if GRUB2,KERNEL is signed->GRUB2->KERNEL->OS [14:51] TJ-, What was it that you wanted me to look at? [14:51] I got a weird one... Ramnode VPS, 16.04 to 18.04 upgrade, boots to a blank screen immediately after grub. Completely frozen.. any ideas? [14:52] I was able to get in with a sysrescuecd, mout everything, chroot, all seemed well, reinstalled grub, recreaeted initramfs, etc. [14:52] no go. [14:53] dbugger_: On the Access Point? what channel/frequency it is operating on [14:53] phunyguy: did you inspect the logs? was anything logged while it failed to boot? [14:53] TJ-, it is operatin on both 2.4 and 5 [14:54] dbugger_: right, but what channel/frequency in the 5GHz band? [14:54] HaMsTeRs: each layer checks the signature of the next executable it loads [14:55] TJ-, https://paste.pics/457AB [14:55] is that what you asked? [14:55] HaMsTeRs: additionally, kernel will check it was loaded from a boot-loader that is honouring Secure Boot when that is enabled [14:56] dbugger_: that seems to suggest it is operating on channel 52, using 80MHz bandwdith (covering 4 channels) [14:56] I see, thanks TJ- :) [14:57] TJ-, is that good? [14:59] dbugger_: it *seems* to include the 5GHx channels your earlier pastebin showed... however, I'm guessing you've rebooted the AP/router so it may be operating on a different channel now to what it was earlier. Show us "pastebinit <( sudo iwlist scan; iwlist freq )" again, lets see what it is doing now [15:01] TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/yHPNcM3qHY/ [15:03] tomreyn: that was my next target, just didn't know if anyone had heard anythign similar [15:05] dbugger_: I forgot to check which channel your PC is using! "pastebinit <( sudo iwconfig )" [15:06] http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/ttFDHX6zpk/ [15:08] dbugger_: so, it's using channel 11 again, and no sign of the Fritz on channel 54. Either the Fritz is using channel widths wider than the PC wifi card can handle, or there's some driver issue. Let's find out what the device and driver are: "pastebinit <( lspci --nnk -d ::0280 )" [15:09] TJ-, I get an "invalid option -- '-'" [15:09] hello seniors, i got many things to ask. since im newbie in ubuntu [15:09] oh darn! lose the first hyphen ("-nnk") [15:10] how to read that words in flying boot? .. wanna see what failed at boot start [15:10] adikwok: "journalctl -b" [15:10] im using ubuntu 18.04.1 lts . lxde desktop [15:11] TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/yGN3hSmyvr/ [15:11] TJ-: thx. i try it now [15:12] where does Ubuntu stash dmesg logs these days? [15:13] is there a way to mutistrap multiach ubuntu? I'm trying with amd64 & armhf, but mutistrap does not respect that archive.ubuntu does not contain armhf packages [15:13] phunyguy: it's new to me, but i'm not into this host, nor do we know which virtualization they use [15:13] It's kvm [15:13] phunyguy: syslog is written to where it used to be [15:13] not syslog, that isn't showing anything [15:13] it's not making it that far [15:14] TJ-: excuse me, now i can read with that words with journalctl -b . but i dont know how to fix the notifications. [15:14] TJ-: things like this .. ata3.00: unexpected _GTF length (8) [15:14] phunyguy: there is also /var/log/journal/ if you have journalctl [15:15] nothing their either [15:15] there* [15:15] last thing was October 28th when this actually went down, just haven't had time to look at it [15:15] phunyguy: any out of bound access options? [15:15] I am VNCd in now to the console [15:15] *band [15:15] I know ☺ [15:16] It's like it's hanging right after the kernel/initramfs are called [15:16] TJ-: and many more down below that journalctl -b [15:16] dbugger_: I thought I had the correct broadcom source here but it doesn't want to build against the 4.15 kernel. Let's find out which you've got. "pastebinit <( ls -l /etc/src/ )" [15:16] everything in /var/log has a timestamp of Oct 28th or older [15:17] tomreyn: hello tom .. have a nice weekend [15:17] adikwok: thanks, you too! [15:17] TJ-, such forlder does not exist [15:17] adikwok: is the PC a MacBook ? [15:17] tomreyn: definitely [15:18] phunyguy: then either kernel image or initrd is broken or (unlikely, since it worked on 16.04) the virtual hardware is incompatile. [15:18] time for a new host it seems. [15:18] dbugger_: really? Oh, so it isn't using the DKMS package then. How did you install the WiFi driver? [15:18] TJ-, i went to "software & updates" and installed the ones under "Additional drivers" [15:18] I was able to apt the latest kernel, which created a new init, and it was still broken [15:19] initramfs* [15:19] phunyguy: there are more options, including contacting their support, i guess. but also some you could try on your own. [15:19] dbugger_: hmmm, let me figure out what that may have installed! [15:19] TJ-: no, its acer 4315, intel celeron 1,73ghz, 80gb hdd. intel graphics integrated [15:19] tomreyn: I am up for anything.. chrooted to it now [15:19] phunyguy: it *could* also be that the grub installation didnt get upgraded during the ubuntu upgrade for some reason [15:19] TJ-, there it says "Using broadcom 802.11 Linux TSA wireless driver from bcmwl-kernel-source" [15:20] I did that too 😞 [15:21] I'm just gonna go with a different provider I think and pull this install over rsync [15:21] phunyguy: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelBoot [15:21]
