(this also happened on 1 [01:00] 8.04) wayland is worse in 18.10 so i log in x11 https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/5D7KZWvwyH/ === daniel is now known as Guest63958 [01:01] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/B2qN9rSNSh/ lspci -v [01:29] is there someway i can try Ubuntu 19.04 iso?

It crashes with SyntaxError because this file (zeroconf version 0.21.3) is actually written with python3 syntax. More digging tells me /usr/lib/python{2.7,3}/dist-packages/zeroconf.py are IDENTICAL zeroconf.py version 0.19.1 [01:36] written with python2 syntax. So, questions are: 1) Why might pulseaudio-dlna be looking in /usr/local; 2) why do I have a python installs at /usr/local/lib/python{2.7,3} at all; 3) How can I find out what, if anything, would miss /usr/local/lib/python2.7 if I nuked it; 4) Is it normal that both /usr/lib/python{2.7,3}/dist-packages/zeroconf.py are identical? Shouldn't the python3 version have, well, python3 [01:36] syntax? [01:37] odd, it should use python (>= 2.7.5-5~) https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/cosmic/amd64/pulseaudio-dlna/0.5.3+git20170406-1 [01:38] oh that is cosmic [01:38] same https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/bionic/amd64/pulseaudio-dlna/0.5.3+git20170406-1 [01:40] I'm stuck in a cycle of 1) rebooting to initramfs, 2) running fsck -y on my root partition, 3) dealing with a root partition that is mounted ReadOnly because of fstab configuration, which I can't change.

[01:43] probably because I booted once after adding ro to the grub parameters. I just undid it (after fscking again). [01:45] ... or not. Now I've got a new issue. [01:46] the reboot took me to the log-in screen, and promptly locked up after I entered my password. Mouse still responds, but if I change terminals and change back it's solid black with a cursor. [01:48] ooh, new output. on a terminal where I've logged-in I just got [timestamp] systemd-journald[370]: Failed to write entry (X items, Y bytes), ignoring: Read-Only file system [01:49] cbpye: Un Good .. check the disk drive health with smartctl ? - Most drives are now supported . [01:51] OerHeks: I think pulseaudio-dlna is trying to use py 2.7. I don't understand a) why pulseaudio-dlna looks in /usr/local/lib/python2.7 instead of in /usr/lib/python2.7; and b) why I have a /usr/local/lib/python{2.7.3.6} at all.

We got to have some way to look at the disk . [01:54] Hi! I'm trying to create smartd notification with zenity, as described here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Smartmontools#Actions_in_case_of_trouble — i.e. I've created a script in `/etc/smartmontools/run.d/` which basically runs `DISPLAY=:0 zenity --warning --text="HDD problem"`, but as it is run by root, it can't connect to X server, I get this error in smartd log: `Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused` [01:54] Is there any workaround?

Only you can know what you set .. and there is no way to find out what it is . [03:27] I wrote it down [03:27] I've tried three times now [03:27] it says cryptsetup: going to sleep for 60 seconds [03:28] ellyacht: try with caps lock on and off .. maybe ?? [03:30] I made it with cap locks on. but I can't tell if caps are on cause the LED indicator on tree front of my laptop isn't lit up lol :( [03:30] setup successful [03:31] just waiting now [03:31] BRB from my laptop [03:32] ellyacht: If one could break into encryption, it would not be encryption.

[04:02] I'm having some issues, newer kernels. [04:03] Apparently, there's a bug or two that bites my filesystem every now and then, and it's ext4. [04:03] However, I just did an fsck without rebooting. [04:03] And I need to save some data that can't be saved elsewhere. [04:03] Now, when I try to remount it as read write after checking, it just refuses. [04:03] hi guys, i´m a newby and tried to tinker myself a small script to check for some running systemd-services, but it gives me a "File name to long" error at the end, can you help me? https://nopaste.xyz/?65c8e5106e3e20a5#DHOfDDqfp1S4nzn9rHA6qQmPic+JevunCOrhCjwihjY= [04:03] Gives me something about it being write-protected. [04:03] How can I get past this write protection? [04:04] Schnabeltierchen: do try to print the output of each step for debugging, and you're probably gonna find the bug real quick [04:07] mhm after deleting the line which checks mattermost it gives me an "not found " at the end... [04:08] *matterbridge [04:13] so it's in there somewhere, probably [04:14] its somewhere in the topic line [04:14] but i can´t figure out what [04:17] ah it doesn´t like those | marks... [04:32] folks, does canonical erases/removes old binaries from repos of still supported LTS releases? [04:35] i do have a *buntu 16.04 but since i have pretty crappy and expensive internet, i havent done a full upgrade in like 5 months or so [04:35] now im trying to install git, but apt cannot find the binaries in the repo [04:37] ok nvm folks i have find out its just my "apt" binary that is borked (i have it since like 2 months ago) [04:37] aptitude worked just fine [04:40] is it "ubuntu" as in "punto" or "bunto" ? [04:44] I think /etc/profile is read by all shells of all users, but is there a file within ~/ that does the same but for a single user? I want to alter $PATH whether I use sh bash zsh fish, but not for other users. [04:50] alazy: yes, look for .profile in your home directory. === capella is now known as capella|away [05:18] I have a really slow disk, if I leave the computer on for 8 hours /go to work and come back it seems to have shipped all active applications to the diks, I cant even move the mouse for 3 min, it took 10 min for irc to become functional again. [05:19] is there anything to do to make it keep the state I left it in? [05:20] moving the mouse shouldn't really require disk access? [05:21] I'm guessing it shipped the active applications to disk since it takes very very long for things to come back alive [05:23] 22 min now for firefox to not unfreeze lol [05:30] disk is spinning like madness, its slow but not that slow, howmany GB could it be loading in 27 min? [05:35] lol ff is consuming 1% cpu but after 33 min it finally drew a gui === Class7_ is now known as Class7 [06:00] is it reasonable to install ubuntu server on a desktop, if I don't want all the cruft that comes with gnome? [06:00] !flavors | Elronnd pick one [06:00] Elronnd pick one: Recognized Ubuntu flavors build on Ubuntu and provide a different user experience out of the box. They are supported both in #ubuntu and in their flavor channel. For a list, see https://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu-flavours [06:01] Elronnd: choose server if you want non-gui, if you like a lightweight GUI without gnome, perhaps choose a light flavor [06:01] I do want gui, but none of the flavours uses my wm of choice [06:02] and anyway, they probably come with a bunch of other software I don't need/want [06:05] Elronnd: how about a mini install, and choose your likings? [06:06] ahhh neat, I hadn't seen that [06:06] thanks! [06:06] Elronnd: 18.04 mini is pretty cool, install what you love afterwards [06:07] is there one for 18.10? [06:07] Elronnd: 18.10 is non-lts right, but yes there should be [06:09] yep, found it! [06:41] vector are you there? [06:45] Nobody by the name vector is on... there is someone really close to that name though [06:46] I uninstalled openjdk, can something go wrong? it seems there wre no dependent apps [06:50] 2 hours later the system is still not ready to be used [07:09] Any reason why packages.ubuntu.com thinks it is 4 years ago? did it travel back in time? [07:10] Whilst having an identity crisis with the footer saying Copyright © 2018 [07:10] it only wants to tell you about packages in 14.04 :) [07:13] stevenm: My packages.ubuntu.com gives me the option of trusty, xenial, bionic, cosmic, and disco. [07:13] stevenm: and the footer says copyright 2013... so, are you at the same site? [07:13] lol yes [07:13] e.g. http://packages.ubuntu.com/wget [07:14] mentions trusty/xenial/bionic/cosmis/disco at the top - but when you look at the results... wget is only in 14.04 [07:14] and the footer says 2018 [07:14] also this ... https://ubottu.com/y/gl | #ubuntu supports Ubuntu and official flavors; versions 14.04, 16.04, 18.04, 18.10 | Unof [07:14] stevenm: Ah.

[07:14] https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/wget [07:14] ^ that says not available [07:14] yeah [07:15] stevenm: I mean, 14.04 is the best release since 6.06, so, makes sense that they're trying to encourage you to stick with it ;) === dynaflash_ is now known as dynaflash [07:15] I dunno I've got a 'ShipIt!' dual-cd Ubuntu cardboard sleeve in front of me... with 5.10 :P WOO! amd64 version!

[07:41] i had did rsync -aAXv / /mnt [where my ext-hdd mounted] .. but i can not rsync back from ext-hdd to / [07:43] adikwok: Why the clean re-install if you want to overwrite it with the old stuff? [07:44] i tried to cd /mnt [07:44] cp xorg.config.new xorg.conf.new.bak [07:44] which made new file in my mounted ext-hdd [07:44] but when i tried to rsync from /mnt to / .. no new xorg.conf.new.bak added to / [07:45] vlt: im trying to had a backup, and if something goes wrong, i can re-install from usb live without having to set up, firefox, preload, zram, udev, n others, since i forgot what i did to my system, until it reached present condition [07:47] adikwok: So rather _restore_, not _re-install_, right? [07:48] vlt: yes, or no? .. im confused also, how to have a restore, without re-install [07:48] adikwok: If something goes wrong™ you want to boot from live media and rsync everything back. [07:49] vlt: now, my gnome setting not working, i am in lxde desktop. [07:49] startx not working, [07:49] monitor brightness can not setting from keyboard like i could when i used gnome-desktop [07:50] adikwok: Did you boot from live media? [07:50] vlt: now im boot from hdd [07:51] vlt: If something goes wrong™ you want to boot from live media and rsync everything back. [07:51] ~ yes. like this. [07:52] vlt: i am amazed with ubuntu 18.04.1 lts using lxde desktop, although the graphic is vintage, but the speed is awesome, faster than when i used windows 7 with readyboost 32 gb. [07:53] adikwok: So it seems like something went wrong: You tried to rsync to the running "/". Now do exactly what you made your backup for: boot from live media and rsync everything back. [07:53] vlt: my laptop is, acer 4315, intel celeron 1,73ghz, hdd 80gb. no vga card.[i guess] [07:56] vlt: so, i just boot and install ubuntu 18.04.1 lts from live usb, for having a fresh re-install. [07:56] and then mount my sdb to /mnt [07:56] rsync from /mnt to / [07:56] so i can have all setting back to previous backup conditions? [07:57] adikwok: No, without the re-install part. [07:58] adikwok: Boot from live media, mount root partition somewhere (other than /) and your backup and rsync. [08:00] vlt: boot from live media. [08:00] mount root partition.[other than /] [08:02] vlt: im confused. dont have a picture of it, since now im not in live media, im still running installed ubuntu lxde from hdd. [08:04] adikwok: Boot from live media, mount root partition to /mnt/target and your backup to /mnt/source. Then do something like `rsync -aviP --delete /mnt/source/ /mnt/target/`. [08:04] vlt: can i do try in more simple step? i made new file in /mnt .. but when i rsync back from /mnt / .it did not appear new file i added in root at my /mnt [08:04] * vlt is back at 08:30 [08:30] hello, i am looking at testing some OTT solutions on which i can add my own content and monetize, do you recommend any OTT project that would be stable enough to use as a building block in my project? Thank you [08:31] OTT as in Over the top? [08:31] yea [08:38] Hello! I'm planning to upgrade from Ubuntu 16.04 to Ubuntu 18.04 , wondering if this will work good or it will make my system slow ? Does it worth better to make a fresh install or there is no difference ? [08:44] adikwok: Did you manage to rsync in the live boot environment? [08:45] vlt: i can not do live boot now, since in the middle of working. some files open and need to be done for my work [08:47] yet i can test how to rsync back from /mnt to /mnt .. would you like to see files in my /mnt and / ? maybe i can describe better for what situation i am facing and what i am searching to be able to do [08:49] dro: in most cases, a clean install is the cleanest/fastest [08:50] adikwok: Just do the three steps once you're ready: boot, mount, rsync [08:50] dro: but alot of LTS upgrades working like a charm too, depends on how good you maintained your system yourself [08:51] vlt: Just do the three steps once you're ready: boot, mount, rsync [08:51] ~ i will try this. [08:52] lotuspsychje: I see, i'm into a fresh install too.. Sometimes upgrade don't do things as excepted [08:52] But maybe upgrade process is better now? [08:54] dro: upgrade process has always been trustable, but like i said, alot depends of how the system was maintained before...also a backup is a good idea [08:57] dro: upgrades are usually fine, as long as you purge any ppas first [09:44] Hello! I would like to use my kepads Ins(0) as a shortcut . However when I assing "Ins" as my keyboard shortcut I am no longer able to use the 0 button with NumLock enabled [09:44] Is there a workaround? [09:45] Hey guys. I'm running a strings command on an executable, but the executable contains some strings with unicode characters and I'm guessing it's an emoji. Is it possible for me to ensure that my terminal will show the correct character instead of just line breaking? [10:03] hi [10:03] i am about to install 18.04 on laptop with both intel and nvidia gpu [10:03] can i somehow during install tell it not to use nvidia gpu? [10:04] just disable it full stop [10:05] neure: you could "blacklist nouveau" in /etc/modprobe.d/ but if you select intel as primary gpu in bios, then that would be autodetected and used by default [10:06] ah, right, bios [10:15] @Fuchs hey man [10:24] hi @Fuchs [10:38] Is it me of the web interface to explore software packages is broken? https://packages.ubuntu.com/cosmic/allpackages [10:44] Orbstheorem: true, same for me [10:45] https://packages.ubuntu.com/disco/ likewise the virtual link is broken too === imsurit_ofc1 is now known as imsurit_ofc [10:57] Orbstheorem: tarzeau the sysadmins have been made aware [11:00] <__rob> is it possible to have xrandr commands run before I log in?

[12:31] BadPractice: a mac is just a more expensive intel pc. it probably uses the same installation process. [12:33] https://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop tells there is a mac image. However it does not say where i would find this mac image... [12:34] ok i just did a quick search and it returned some how-to videos, can you have a look? https://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+install+ubuntu+on+mac [12:34] heya, does anyone know how to disable focus stealing in ubuntu 18.04 with gnome 3 [12:34] because its stupid and dangerous behavior and almost resulted in a data breach today [12:35] gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences focus-new-windows 'strict' [12:35] i dont want how to videos. I want the download link for the actual mac image [12:35] what [12:35] mac image... [12:35] its the same as any other 64bit image surely [12:36] i believe you will find that there is no special image - as it's just a pc with a $1000 case :P [12:36] coz_, ill have a look [12:36] Most Macs with Intel processors will work with either 64-bit or Mac images. If the 64-bit image doesn't work, try the Mac image. [12:36] copied from https://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop [12:36] where can i find the mac image? [12:36] I believe they are referring to old macs (powerpc processor) [12:36] have you tried the 64bit image [12:36] RougeR, that would be a terminal command [12:37] RougeR, let me know if it works [12:37] no i thought its better to use a image that works in 100% percent in the cases instead of one that works in 70% of the cases [12:37] BadPractice: Here are all the images. The "Mac Image" is for POWERPC processors, not modern intel macs http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/18.04/release/ [12:38] Just try the standard image and it most likely will work. [12:38] Do not kill yourself looking for a solution to a problem you do not have :) [12:38] ok ill try the standard one first thx [12:38] Thank you [12:39] coz_, [12:39] yeah that doesnt work [12:39] Now, can anyone have a look at my XRDP problem above?

[12:43] yeah, you can see why its bad [12:43] coz_, ill have a look [12:43] yeah i'm in a lot of customer-facing channels [12:44] it sounds like the opposite of what i want lol coz_ [12:44] RougeR, even in dconf editor, some say good luck on gnome3 with the issue [12:44] i want a windows is ready notification. that is exactly what i want [12:44] what i dont want is focus stealing [12:44] understood [12:44] its okay :) [12:45] RougeR, couldnt find anything worth while on the topic, not surprisong with gnome3 [12:45] yeah, gnome3 doesnt seem to be the best for dev support from what ive read [12:45] well [12:45] user support/feature requests [12:45] nope [12:45] i do like it still, suprisingly [12:46] RougeR, I switched to mate [12:46] theres some bits i need to tweak, but overall its not bad [12:46] coz_, yeah i use mate when im booted into mint [12:46] alright, ill leave it for today. guna go do some work. thanks for your time [12:46] RougeR, more familiar with all the bits and options gnome3 took out [12:46] eh yeh [12:47] RougeR, good luck [12:47] ty :) [12:47] trying to get this task-scheduling engine to work. all our servers run buntu as well. [12:47] RougeR, not appropriate here, but maybe fedora [12:48] mmm coz_ the reason i use ubuntu is for the support tbh [12:48] RougeR, easy going on that [12:48] i use a fair bit of bespoke/niche software. only has official support for ubunutu [12:48] same [12:48] RougeR, understood, but no less with fedora [12:48] so i i use another distro, it becomes a ball ache to get support [12:49] depemds on what needs to be done eficiently [12:49] i mostly work with a lot of video/subs/audio manipulation software. which supports windows/ubuntu officially [12:50] ok [12:50] yeaaaaa [12:50] right brb [12:54] How do i automaticly run a command when the system reboots? [12:55] what is the command? [12:55] python3 [12:55] its to run an irc bot. [12:56] mmm let me check [12:56] piesquared: you know limnoria, its a nice irc bot [12:56] I made my own. [12:57] piesquared, i wonder if that could be put into startup apps [12:57] ah cool then [12:58] piesquared: cron has (crontab -e) called @reboot [12:59] how does that work? [12:59] command? [13:00] man 5 crontab [13:00] i'm not sure if it also works for users, and not just root user, but if it's an irc bot and binds to a port < 1025 it must be run as root anyway [13:01] i never *had* to run it in root. [13:01] i have no idea then, sorry [13:03] piesquared: set up a systemd unit in /etc/systemd/system/ to start it [13:09] so, what exactly do i make in that folder TJ-? [13:09] (fail) [13:09] Hi, I am trying to mount a particular drive on to my system from an IP address. I created a directory on the local system whose owner is the root, and that's where i plan to mount the drive. After mounting, the owner of that particular directory becomes the user, who was owning the drive on the remote system. How do I mount keeping root as the owner of the mounted drive? [13:13] ramsub07: sounds like you are trying to setup an NFS mount [13:13] me1t: exactly :) [13:13] You would mount using /etc/fstab or sudo to make root the owner i believe [13:13] ah nope [13:14] piesquared: I've not tested this but something like https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/TkHRcwT5xZ/ [13:14] drwxr-xr-x 7 nobody nogroup 68 Nov 20 13:14 nfs [13:14] thats how mine is [13:14] me1t: tried with sudo, doesn't work that way [13:14] i'm reading here https://serverfault.com/questions/240897/how-to-properly-set-permissions-for-nfs-folder-permission-denied-on-mounting-en [13:14] seems like you set the perms on the server only [13:20] I have the thew 4.10 drivers from NVIDIA and I am having trouble finding the 32 bit libraries I need for Steam. How do I get them? [13:20] new [13:21] me1t: you mean in the fstab file in the server? === e_motion is now known as e_motion-afk [13:22] Younder: how did you install Steam? if you install from the ubuntu repos it should pull in the needed deps [13:23] hateball, erm it did. Then I installed CUDA and it stopped working. [13:24] ramsub07: nah, scratch that, i think it's the nfs config or file perms on the server though. i am not sure, i am a little noobish on the nfs [13:24] mine seems to be wide open on my lan [13:29] hateball, The problem is the nvidia repo dosn't seem to have the 32 bit opengl lib files. [13:29] It should work with a 64 bit driver I believe. [13:30] i seem to have much better luck installing nvidia via the debs [13:31] Well it is a .deb file just not the one you get from 'ubuntu-drivers autoinstall' [13:37] For the recor NVIDIA's drivers are not open-source, they are free, but without the source-code. There is a free open-source called noveaux, but that has inferior performance in games. So there is a chant 'ubuntu-drivers autoinstall' which is simple to do, but unlike installing it by default it doesn't offend the open-source purists. [13:38] Younder: I havent dabbled with cuda so I can't say [13:39] Younder: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/5778 [14:10] hello guys [14:10] welcome talx [14:10] what can we do for you today? [14:11] if I downloaded an iso of ubuntu desktop 16.04 where would the filesystem squashfs would be [14:11] I need it for a pxe installation [14:12] how come installing ubuntu-server is so easy and the desktop version is so hard [14:12] hard ? [14:12] click click done... [14:12] talx: can you please be more specific? [14:12] what do you mean [14:12] talx: exactly [14:13] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UEFI/PXE-netboot-install [14:13] if you go to stage two [14:13] it says: On releases after 14.04; add "live-installer/net-image=$PATH_TO_FILESYSTEM_SQUASHFS" before the three dashes to provide a root filesystem for the installer to use as a base for the install; or use "live-installer/enable=false". [14:13] where is the path for filesystem squashfs [14:14] can it be a link ? [14:15] I mean how would you write it if it was via a webpage? [14:15] talx: did you try looking on the cd? [14:16] I have the cd [14:16] talx: /casper/squashfs.filesystem [14:16] TJ-: that's not the server cd [14:16] ty [14:16] it helped me actually [14:17] talx: ok, you have the cd. Did you look on the cd? [14:17] live-installer/net-image=http://192.168.0.104/ubun/casper/filesystem.squashfs [14:17] whould this work ? [14:17] no [14:17] talx: because that is not a valid location on the cd [14:17] what do you mean [14:17] I've extracted the ISO file [14:17] look on the cd to find the squash filesystem cd [14:18] to /var/www/html/folder [14:18] talx: we're talking about the server cd, not desktop correct? [14:18] nope [14:18] desktop cd [14:18] oh [14:18] I've managed to make an install of ubuntu server [14:18] that is but the desktop is giving me a hard time [14:19] then yes, that is the correct location [14:19] yeah but the syntax [14:19] did I write it correctly ? [14:19] talx: but to be honest, it sounds like you really don't know what you're doing here. You really should be reading and understanding more about pxe and live cd's (squash) [14:19] leftyfb: "/casper/filesystem.squashfs" is also on the -server ISO [14:20] I've read [14:20] not everything is clear [14:20] TJ-: not for 16.04. There's no live environment. Only on 18.04 [14:20] I like to talk to people more and learn from exprience [14:21] oh, this is for 16.04 is it? [14:24] yes [14:24] it fails again [14:24] it just don't know where to get the files from [14:24] good afternoon, does someone in here use libnss-pgsql? I have setup it and I can get users information when I running getent passwd/group/shadow but when I running command id I got no such user. [14:25] talx: whats your end goal exactly? customize ubuntu iso? [14:30] hmm [14:30] make an installation of ubuntu 16.04-desktop using pxe === mouses is now known as longcat [14:31] I'm getting the installation menue but it fails on "Download installer component" === longcat is now known as mouses [14:32] talx which app ? [14:35] one question, i am using pass as a keyring, i would like to integrate it with differents programs such as qutebrowser /git / nextcloud... can he do that ? have trouble found my answer on google.
