ranticAnyone here using Ubuntu on a Dell XPS 13 by chance? I'm having a terrible time with display scaling in Gnome on Ubuntu 18.0400:12
rantic100% is too small and 200% is massive, I don't seem to have any options like 150% etc ... and just modifying the font scaling only fixes half the problem00:12
OerHeksrantic, gnome tweak gives more options, scaling00:30
ranticOerHeks, it only includes font scaling - which unfortunately doesn't help with the UI elements etc00:31
OerHeksah, correct https://i.stack.imgur.com/4Xh9c.png00:31

virmahahello. I've a file with 755 permission and owned by root. I can open/ls it with my normal user account. However, another file with 644 and owned by root cannot be opened/ls unless I use sudo00:49

meskesHey, i'm 'new'. With Linux, that is.01:03
meskesAnyone know anything about aircrack related things?01:03

ducassemeskes: explain what you're trying to achieve, and ask your actual question01:08
meskesWell, I was wondering about general knowledge,01:09
meskesYou see,01:09
rfmvirmaha, check the permissions on the containing directories01:09

meskesducasse: Hey, this is the real meskes. I've got a friend's son here, trying to learn the ropes. I'm going help him along, and get him up to speed about how to formulate questions and the like and let him know why it's not a good idea to ask a very general question such as he's asked. :)01:21
meskesducasse: Sorry about that. Really, I am.01:23

rfmfishcooker, unless you're on a really old ubuntu, systemd is used not sysv init, so editing the start-stop-daemon line in the init.d script will have no effect01:38
rfmfishcooker, you probably want to use the Nice= setting in a systemd drop-in (read the systemd.unit man page)01:41
Some_PersonI'm about to image a drive using dd... what parameters should I pass in to make it go relatively fast?01:43

MrSassyPantssomeone tell me where xorg.conf is actually located05:44
MrSassyPantsIt used to be /etc/X11/ but that's probably no longer the case, where it actually seems to be is /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d which is not even listed in the man page as a valid place05:45
SwedeMikeMrSassyPants: it's typically not needed nowadays.05:45
ducasseMrSassyPants: there isn't one by default anymore, if there is it's in /etc/X11/05:46
SwedeMikeMrSassyPants: so it's not strange if you don't have it05:46
MrSassyPantsWell, obviously it is somehow being used and composed, if nothing else, by nvidia-drivers05:46
MrSassyPantsBecause the way I understand configless xorg to work and the way it seems to work with installed nvidia drivers differs significantly05:47
MrSassyPantsso I need to take control back from ... such things and I can't very well do that without actually being in control of the conf05:48
MrSassyPantsaccording to the xorg logs it uses *both* of those .d folders as sources for the config05:50
lotuspsychjeMrSassyPants: how about you tell us what you reaal are trying to do?05:50
SwedeMikeMrSassyPants: nothing stops you from creating an xorg.conf if you need to. But it's not strange that you do not have one currently.05:50
MrSassyPantsgpu pass through to kvm, detaching a driver from X and reattaching it without having to restart X05:51
RandolfHow are things coming along for getting OpenSSL updated to v1.1.1?05:54
lotuspsychje!latest | Randolf05:56
ubottuRandolf: 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.05:56
lotuspsychjeRandolf: we reccomend, if you need a higher package, try out a higher ubuntu version so packages dont get mixed up05:56
RandolfI'm already using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, and I keep it upgraded with apt.05:57
RandolfOpenSSL 1.1.1 improves security as it brings in support for TLSv3.05:57
JustAPersonBeen running into intermittent issues with my 18.04 installation booting. Here is a picture of the boot messages https://i.imgur.com/qNYaKwa.jpg  right now I can't even access the recovery prompt05:58
lotuspsychjeJustAPerson: thats the last line you see?05:59
JustAPersonlotuspsychje: it hangs at that05:59
lotuspsychje!info openssl cosmic | Randolf05:59
ubottuRandolf: openssl (source: openssl): Secure Sockets Layer toolkit - cryptographic utility. In component main, is important. Version 1.1.1-1ubuntu2 (cosmic), package size 610 kB, installed size 1223 kB05:59
RandolfSorry, I meant TLS v1.3.06:00
lotuspsychjeRandolf: if security flaws are found, you will receive system updates on bionic too06:00
lotuspsychjeRandolf: but we reccomend to keep the packages for the specific ubuntu version06:01
lotuspsychjeJustAPerson: can you provide us a bit details of your install? recent iso? system specs? did ubuntu work before on your machine?06:02
Randolflotuspsychje:  It's been recommended to stay away from PPAs, and I've found that I can do that for every installation except for one which needs PHP 5.06:05
lotuspsychjeRandolf: try apt-cache search to install packages you need on your system06:07
lotuspsychjeRandolf: what doesnt work on your current php version from bionic?06:09
RandolfHuh?06:10
lotuspsychjeRandolf: you say you need php 5?06:10
RandolfI don't.  One client does, and so I had to use a PPA to get that working.06:11
RandolfThe other clients who need PHP are all on PHP 7.2 now.06:11
lotuspsychjeRandolf: ok and why did the client need php5?06:11

vigilantokay06:12
ZaZaQRhello06:32
Randolflotuspsychje: The client had old code, and said they didn't have the resources to upgrade it.06:41
lotuspsychjeRandolf: ubuntu is free to upgrade?06:42
Randolflotuspsychje: I've been able to get other clients to upgrade to new versions of software, but this one can't do it.06:42
RandolfSo, moving from PHP5 to PHP7 results in a lot of stuff that doesn't work for many projects that are designed to work with PHP5.06:42
RandolfFortunately, there is a PPA that makes it possible to run PHP5.06:42
lotuspsychjeok allright06:43
RandolfI'm not going to try to justify it, and I'm not going to tell my client that they have no choice when there's a choice.06:43
RandolfThey know my recommendation, but at the end of the day it is what it is.06:43
lotuspsychjeRandolf: just keep in mind production + not upgrade/updating is a dangerous hobby06:44
hwweilerhavent used linux in a few months, probably made my life harder than it needed to be... how do i get softlinks to list with ls ?06:44
=== capella is now known as capella|away
hwweileronly if i use fullpath with ls does the softlink show06:44
hwweilernot sure what you call the first column of the output of ls -la, but iirc there should be a indication of links there and also on the last colum with file -> file06:46
Randolflotuspsychje: I agree.  This isn't a hobby for me.  I've been running internet servers professionally since the early-to-mid 1990s.06:47
lotuspsychjegreat Randolf06:47
Randolflotuspsychje: Did it with Novell NetWare for a while, but mostly used NetBSD until recently, so Ubuntu is still a bit new to me, but I have the security aspects sorted at least, and I find most of it is pretty much the same as Unix anyway.06:48
lotuspsychjefeel free to idle in #ubuntu-discuss Randolf06:49
lotuspsychjehwweiler: see also ##linux or #bash for commands in the terminal06:52
hwweilerlotuspsychje: i figured it's a ubuntu thing to hide it per some config file06:53
lotuspsychjehwweiler: if you feel its ubuntu related, no problem06:53
lotuspsychjehwweiler: just trying to widen your options :p06:54
hwweilerlotuspsychje: im following your tip, as it seems here im in the wrong tz and everyone is sleeping06:54
lotuspsychjehwweiler: alot of europe will wake in the next hour here, idle a bit or re-ask in a while it will get solved for sure06:55
hwweilermaybe you know this06:56
hwweilerlotuspsychje: i've created a softlink in both directions is that a problem? i forogt in which order they are meant to be done06:56

PCovesHi.08:16
zambai believe i found the problem, /run was full08:16
PCovesA coworker of mine needs to start bitlbee on boot.08:16
PCovesBut systemctl enable bitlbee wont work.08:16

PCovesIs there any known trick?08:16
CoolerZhey08:52
CoolerZanyone here use openvpn?08:52
lotuspsychjeCoolerZ: best to ask your question to the channel08:53
CoolerZhow do i get openvpn to set / restore the dns settings automatically each time i connect / disconnect?08:53
vltCoolerZ: `apt install openvpn`08:53
CoolerZdo i need this? https://roy.marples.name/projects/openresolv08:53
CoolerZcurrently i can connect to my openvpn server and connect to different ip addresses, ping them, etc08:54
CoolerZhowever dns isn't setup properly, its still using the old dns settings that were there before connecting to openvpn08:54
CoolerZso no domain names get resolved08:54
PCovesHey, how would you start bitlbee on boot when "systemctl enable bitlbee" does not work?08:55
CoolerZi found articles like these https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OpenVPN#DNS08:55
CoolerZsaying i need to set some config, but i am confuse08:55
CoolerZd08:55
tchakatako/08:59
CoolerZhelp?09:00
CoolerZi am on ubuntu 18.04 btw09:00
tchakatakCoolerZ: what is your problem ?09:00
CoolerZtchakatak, openvpn isn't setting the dns properly09:04
tchakatakCoolerZ: generally this kind of problem come from your openvpn file09:06
tchakatakdid you set on the ovpn file the dns ?09:06
CoolerZtchakatak, set on? what?09:07
CoolerZi have a .ovpn file09:07
tchakatakCoolerZ: First, are you the provider of the VPN09:07
CoolerZyes09:08
tchakatakok09:08
CoolerZin a sense09:08
tchakatakso09:08
FinalightAHA! BUSTED! Lol kiding09:08
CoolerZi am running openvpn on a amazon ec2 instance09:08
tchakatakin the ovpn file (where you have the config) you can include something like this09:08
tchakatakup /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf09:08
tchakataklook on github for the update-resolv-conf09:08
CoolerZtchakatak, about that, that script doesn't exist on my system09:09
CoolerZi checked09:09
tchakatakyes09:09
tchakatakthis script is on github09:09
CoolerZonly verify-cn is there in that folder09:09
CoolerZdo i need to install openresolv? https://github.com/masterkorp/openvpn-update-resolv-conf09:10
tchakatakhttps://github.com/masterkorp/openvpn-update-resolv-conf09:10
tchakatakyes09:10
tchakatakdo you have git on your system ?09:10
CoolerZyeah09:12
CoolerZi installed it09:12
CoolerZand now the script is there09:12
tchakatakdo you use systemd-resolv or openresolv ?09:13
CoolerZdo i just put the "up /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf" line anywhere inside the .ovpn file?09:13
tchakatakif you use openresolv yes :)09:13
tchakatakand dont forget to down it09:13
CoolerZtchakatak, well i installed openresolv09:13
tchakatakif not when your connexion will be terminated the dns will not update09:14
CoolerZi am guessing systemd-resolv is the default09:14
CoolerZtchakatak, how do i check what i am using?09:14
tchakatakon the serverside you have to push the dhns with push dhcp-options09:14
CoolerZtchakatak, yeah the server is already pushing the settings09:14
tchakatakif you installed it it should work oob09:15
tchakatakremember to put a +x flag on the script also09:15
CoolerZyeah it has that09:16
tchakatakthen try09:16
CoolerZso where do i put the up and down line in the .ovpn file?09:17
tchakatakbefore the Certs09:17
tchakataki have this in mine :09:17
tchakatakscript-security 209:17
CoolerZafter verb 3?09:17
tchakatakup /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf09:18
tchakatakdepend of your file.09:18
tchakatakdown /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf09:18
CoolerZWARNING: Failed running command (--up/--down): external program fork failed09:19
FinalightWould you all recommend 4GB or 8GB. I think 16 would be overkill, in terms of memory09:19
CoolerZWARNING: External program may not be called unless '--script-security 2' or higher is enabled. See --help text or man page for detailed info.09:19
tchakatakas i said put script-security 209:19
tchakatakFinalight: depend of your usage09:19
CoolerZtchakatak, also i have this line  dev tun  as the 2nd line in my .ovpn file09:20
CoolerZshouldn't it be tap? client has tap and server has tun ?09:20
tchakatakCoolerZ: i sended you a part of my config in pm, feel free to copy :)09:21
Finalighttchakatak; it won't be that crazy. just maybe some ftp/web, definitely learning. but i don't want the desktop environment to be sluggish09:21
CoolerZtchakatak, yours doesn't have the tun tap line09:22
ducasseFinalight: which desktop?09:22
tchakatakFinalight: i use 8g of ram, 16 would be really nice when i use some vm... if not right now i use around 300mb :) but everything in cli with i3 etc...09:22
tchakatakdepend of your config09:22
Finalightducasse; whatever one it comes with. but i really dislike the default.09:22
ducasseFinalight: if you're going to run a desktop environment and a browser i'd get 8gb09:23
Finalightducasse thank you, and you asl well tchakatak09:24
Finalightas*09:24
tchakatakCoolerZ: That depend of your serverside.09:24
PCovesHey, how would you start bitlbee on boot when "systemctl enable bitlbee" does not work?09:38
sud0x3PCoves: Did you check why the service failed? or the status of the service?09:41
PCovesNop, as it's for a remote coworker.09:43
tchakatakPCoves: first look at journalctl -xe09:43
tchakatakalso journalctl status bitlebee09:43
PCovesThanks09:43
tchakatakif the process is not handled by systemd then you have to create your own module for it09:43
sud0x3There should be a systemd unit with the package from the ubuntu repo.09:46
tchakataksometime you have no systemd unit09:47
sud0x3If you didnt install it from the official repo then you might not have it, otherwise you will. Dont know what other reson there would be for it not to be there if you used official packages.09:49
PCovesIt's from official repo.09:49
PCovesShe assured me.09:49
tchakatakEven if its from the official repo sometime you dont have the systemd unit for certain modules09:51
sud0x3tchakatak: certain modules as in? packages == modules?09:51
tchakatakcertain packages sorry09:51
sud0x3Either way bitlebee has provided systemd unit files, https://github.com/bitlbee/bitlbee/tree/master/init09:52
sud0x3unless ubuntu team removed them09:52
sud0x3PCoves: Your logs should point you in the right direction then, hard to help with little information.09:53
PCovesYep, those infos are hard to get from my coworker as well :-\09:54
tchakatakPCoves: journalctl -xe09:55
tchakatakWhy not ssh on her computer ?09:55
tchakatakor vnc ?09:55
sud0x3I suggest you dont use things like bitlebee if you find it hard to get the log without help. Have you tried just running bitlbee normally to see the error intead of using the service.09:56
PCovessud0x3: bitlbee works perfectly well on my (arch) box.09:59
PCovesIt's not for me.10:00
afx_Hello ! Following this tutorial https://lampjs.wordpress.com/2015/06/26/remapchange-your-secondaryusb-keyboard-keys/ , are changes done with xkbcomp persistent?10:01
tchakatakafx_: it should be.10:05
afx_tchakatak, is there a way I can revert to default layout ?10:06
afx_Should I keep a backup maybe?10:06
tchakatakafx_: you can loadkeys for your current session10:07
afx_tchakatak, can you guide me through please?10:09
sud0x3PCoves: If you cant instruct them to give you a log, they arent going to cope very well with bitlebee if it breaks in any way if they cant get it to start.10:09
sud0x3Regardless nobody here can help with "it wont wont", need to provide some more information.10:09
ducasseafx_: you would need to load the new layout you created each time x is restarted10:09
afx_ducasse, no problem for now as this is only atest10:10
tchakatakafx_: if you made modification to a keyboard map, and you want to revert to uk for the current session for debuging purpose, you can just open a terminal and type 'loadkeys uk' or 'loadleys us'10:10
afx_tchakatak, what I really need atm is to make temp modifications to the keyboard map, ie when I restart I would like to have it back as it was at first place10:12
PCovesI'll send her here, might be more efficient, you guys are right.10:13
tchakatakafx_: you could use an .xinitrc file10:13
tchakataklike creating your owm map, and load it itch reboot trough the .xinitrc file.10:14
afx_tchakatak, isn't that for persistent / startup configuration ?10:14
tchakatakoh, you just want to have your modification for the session ?10:15
afx_tchakatak, I need the opposite. I want to test some modifications only for this session10:15
tchakataksorry i understood the inverse10:15
afx_no problem :)10:15
tchakatakafx_: take a look around setxkbmap10:16
afx_tchakatak, let me check10:17
afx_ah setxkbmap -layout us , should work tchakatak10:18
tchakatakyep.10:18
afx_and for multiple layouts setxkbmap -layout us,it for example yes?10:18
tchakataki need to check the doc, but i supposed :)10:19
afx_no problem10:19
afx_this must be it10:19
tchakatakhttps://www.dotkam.com/2007/06/25/custom-keyboard-layout-in-ubuntu-or-just-linux-2/10:20
tchakataktake a look at this10:20
afx_another thing if anyone knows . there are times that my system boots without the wifi indicator top right in Gnome panel . I am on Ubuntu 18.04 . Any help for this ?10:20
tchakatakafx_: networkmanager-applet ?10:20
afx_tchakatak, ah that is very nice10:20
afx_this applet has also sound, settings along with networking but that could be it10:21
tchakataknormally gnome have is own stuff, but you can use network-manager-applet aswell10:22

tchakatakafx_: then activate them :)10:28

Kake_How can something be temporarily in $PATH? Is it loaded from etc/environment when the session starts and it just adds to that list in memory?11:10
blackflowanddam: they conflict each other, can't install at the same time11:15
blackflowKake_: by exporting a modified PATH to the shell.   export PATH=$PATH:/foo/bar      for example11:15
ducasseKake_: you can overwrite the entire variable whenever you want11:15

Orvalvisjehello11:23
Orvalvisjeubuntu 16: I would like help to copy a program dvd, (tried with VLC, but did not work), but to complicate matters, sometimes the dvd is recognized, sometimes it is not11:24
hexhaxtronAnyone knows an application that shows the location of a picture in Google Maps?11:25
Orvalvisjei don't know if it matters, but i am owner of the dvd, i just want to make a copy onto HD because the dvd is starting to show scratches and all, and it is not possible to buy it anymore, nor finding an online version (i don't know what the vlue is of my word, but here it is)11:26
Orvalvisjei tried to copy it in windows (the name of the program is blank at the moment), but without success11:27
blackflowOrvalvisje: https://askubuntu.com/questions/147800/ripping-dvd-to-iso-accurately     assuming there aren't hidden track or some other DRM protection11:28
hateballCould just use DD to make an ISO11:29
hateballdd*11:29
TJ-Orvalvisje: I recall there is a program designed to copy scratched media but forget its name right now. I had to use it a few months ago11:34
Orvalvisjei am not really that educated in using the terminal, blackflow11:36
Orvalvisjedd if=/dev/cdrom of=image_name.iso    so, the "image_name is the name that i will give it then?11:36
blackflowOrvalvisje: that's the ISO file you'll be storing the ripped DVD yes.11:38
Kake_Yeah, okay. So I have 2 python programs in my path. How can I make sure the one I want is found first? I tried to put the correct path first, but didn't seem to help11:38
vltOrvalvisje: The name of the written file will be "image_name.iso".11:38
blackflownot sure if /dev/cdrom is the correct device, or if /dev/dvd is. it's been quite a few years since I've seen a DVD :)11:38
Orvalvisjeok, i typed it in the terminal, and no text or anything or progress is shown, but i can hear the dvd running11:38
blackflowyes that's how dd works. I don't think it has a progress bar and I think on linux ctrl-t (SIGINFO) doesn't work11:39
Kake_Oh wait, it doesn't seem to have loaded the path properly, I'll try to restart11:39
Orvalvisjeok, thanks blackflow ... i'll wait until the noise stops11:40
blackflowOrvalvisje: actually I guess I was wrong. dd has status=progress option, at least on bionic's version of dd11:41
vltOrvalvisje: You can send SIGUSR1 to the dd process to make it print some stats while copying.11:43
Orvalvisjeok, i have an iso file now, how can i make it work, without using a dvd? suffice to copy it onto a usb-stick?11:55
Orvalvisjeby the way, when finished, some info appeared in the terminal11:55
hateballOrvalvisje: define "make it work"11:56
Orvalvisjewell, make it play ... i tried to drag it into playlist of vlc, but it does not work ... it is an interactive DVD, in windows it uses autoplay ... also, when trying to copy the iso file onto usb, it just stopped with "0 seconds left" (the time windows keeps showing, did not close automatically)11:59
blackflowOrvalvisje: uhm... is that a windows program?11:59
Orvalvisjeit ran in ubuntu sometimes as well, but not stable or sometimes the dvd was recognized, other times not12:00
Orvalvisjeon the dvd it says linux (redhat 7.3 or higher)12:01
blackflowOrvalvisje: CDs/DVDs usually have an autoplay file (autorun.inf iirc) that by convention tells systems that mount the disk, which program to start. which  means you could be able to start it directly, after you mount the ISO to  a directory. for that, see for example this:  https://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-to-mount-iso-image-under-linux.html12:03
blackflowit's possible the file manager will mount/open the ISO file when doubleclicked too, I don't know12:03
blackflowOrvalvisje: so what's actually on the disk?12:04
Orvalvisjeit is a study program that i use to teach dutch. It is a program dvd that also contains clips and sounds12:05
Orvalvisjeok, i tried it on a small pc (with no dvd player) and mounted (in win 10) the iso file that i copied on a usb ... on running it asks that i have to put the original dvd in the (missing) tray instead of the backup12:09
Orvalvisjei am going to switch pc ... i'll be back12:11
Orvalvisjehello12:12
blackflowOrvalvisje: you can try copy the ISO back to a new DVD, keep the ISO around for backup. You'll need a DVD burner for that. Brasero comes to mind, not sure what other programs there are (and wodim for command line). If, however, that still doesn't work, my guess is the original had some DRM scheme or hidden tracks and you can't copy it just like that.12:18
Orvalvisjeblackflow, i really wanted to avoid using another DVD, as i wanted it to work on my small laptop, where there's no dvd drive .... but i think you might be right, though12:19
TJ-Orvalvisje: it /may/ be possible to loop-mount it and symlink /dev/cdrom to the loop device to fool the software - depends on how the software is checking for the original media12:29
BluesKajHey folks12:39
vltHello. What tool can give me a short summary of the hardware (CPU, memory and board type, disks, ...) my Ubuntu is runnning on?12:42
Orvalvisjeok tj and blackflow.... i copied the iso file on a dvd, however, it says on playing that i need to run the original dvd ... i'm fed up ... dvd 1 vs poor me 012:42
Orvalvisjegonna give up12:42
ducassevlt: inxi, for example12:44
Orvalvisjejust wanna thank you for your time and effort12:44

sheenHello there, I have issues with minidlna. Program is working fine (I can instantly find my dlna server with vlc on local machine), but when using an external device like Samsung TV or Android phone, it take 10 minutes to find minidlna, and when finally connected, it can crash after 30min of viewing. UFW disabled for purpose, maybe a multicast route issue. I don't have this issue on Windows, dlna connect instantly even on external device. Any help welcome, than13:32

newtoubuntuThe problem is as follows: The startup sequence always ends in a blackscreen (glowing black not off) this is also the case for the live cd. I managed to install ubuntu using the kernel option nouveau.modeset=0 but this leaves me with a very low resolution. I tried to install the nvidia driver (nvidia-340) but this led to a similar/the same blackscreen problematic that can not be circumvented with nouveau.modeset...13:44
markey165My machine is using "vesa" as its graphics driver. How do i change it to use "modesetting"? (Running Mate on Ubuntu 18.04)13:45
markey165I have 3 monitors which were working on Gnome, but when i switched to Mate, only 1 monitor is working, and i think its because my machine is now using the vesa driver.13:45
newtoubuntuMy graphics card is a GT 130M and I am trying to run Ubuntu 18.04.13:45
markey165Any help appreciated?13:46
newtoubuntuWould you recommend to try and fix the propper Nvidia drivers or stick with vesa (because of kernel parameter) and try to adjust the resolution? Advice for any viable approach would be really awesome since I am stuck at this for days :(13:49

Neptuhej anyone knows how to bond 2 network cards into 1 conection to get more throwput?13:52
markey165Is this the right channel for ubuntu help questions?13:54
slidinghornmarkey165, yep :) Feel free to ask your question (with as much detail as possible) and someone will help if they know the answer13:54
TJ-Neptu: yes, but depends on what is at the other end of the connection; LACP is one option14:00
TJ-Neptu: here's a config I use for bonding 4 NICs to a switch to do that. http://iam.tj/projects/ubuntu/systemd-networkd-bonding.txt14:01
markey165When i run inxi -G it says "Display: server: X.Org 1.19.6 driver: vesa unloaded: fbdev,modesetting ...............how do i change my driver from vesa to "modesetting"?14:22
ducassemarkey165: save http://termbin.com/aozg as /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-modesetting.conf and restart x14:26
NeptuTJ-: I have a 1 cloud machine with 2 nicks and a big cache i just want to boost throwput against serveral other machines in the cloud reading from that one14:31
NeptuTJ-: is not a question to get more speed is a question to handle more connections and throwput14:31
TJ-Neptu: that'll only work if you've got a switch in-between you can configure the bonding on14:32
NeptuTJ-: sorry no switch only one machine and 2 network cards14:32
TJ-Neptu: if you're going to bond NICs there has to be something at the other end to unbond the link14:33
NeptuTJ-: all i can do is play with the ubuntu14:33
TJ-Neptu: you could bond between 2 hosts as a point-to-point link, but that won't benefit multiple hosts14:33
NeptuTJ-: maybe then is not exactly what Im looking for.. the idea is that all servers will still connect to same ip but the reply can come from one or another14:34
TJ-Neptu: that sounds like load-balancing14:34
spacecrabyeah boosting the availability of shared storage is going to work better with either CDN-like implementations, or load balancing14:34
NeptuTJ-: yep problem donno how to do loadbalacing ifconfig level14:34
spacecrabif you mean to get serious locally, you'll need more than a couple NICs likely14:34
spacecrab@TJ- mentioned the possibility of bonding, but that's up to not only your OS, but also your networking equip which it sounds like is not an option14:35
spacecrabprotip: this is why architecture surrounding NAS and SAN devices are so complicated sometimes14:36
TJ-Neptu: are these systems bare-metal or virtual machines?14:42
CoolerZhey14:42
CoolerZi installed whois, because for some reason its not installed by default in ubuntu 18.04 lts14:42
NeptuTJ-: virtual machines14:42
CoolerZbut its printing some weird message instead of showing the A record14:43
TJ-Neptu: so the links may depend on the underlying host, and the network infrastructure14:43
blackflowCoolerZ: it's not an essential tool. Pastebin the message?14:43
TJ-CoolerZ: whois is for registry queries; "dig" is for DNS record queries14:43
CoolerZhttps://paste.pound-python.org/raw/ijhXT62f9zOi7d3KFrUK/14:43
blackflowCoolerZ: right, there's no whois entry for www.google.com14:44
blackflowwhos entries are usually not set for subdomains. contrary to popular belief, www is a subdomain.14:44
NeptuTJ-: the nics are independent units which on the other side have max of bw... what i intent is to aggregate the bw  to be able with only one vm to handle more concurrent connections14:46
blackflow(and lol yeah, my brain read your post as "showing no record", you need dig for DNS)14:46
CoolerZblackflow, what is whois?14:47
CoolerZi thought it was for querying dns records14:47
blackflowCoolerZ: it's domain ownership registry.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WHOIS14:48
TJ-Neptu: more concurrent connections does not require aggregate bandwidth; you could achieve that with round-robin DNS with both NICs14:49
blackflowCoolerZ: if you want to query DNS records, you need a tool like `dig` from dnsutils14:50

pragmaticenigmamarkey165: How did you install Ubuntu on your system?15:19
varaindemianAnyone knows if I can update the bios of my machine without having to install windows?15:19
varaindemianhttps://support.lenovo.com/ro/en/downloads/ds10211015:20
varaindemianthis is the iso15:20
markey165Might be worth mentioning, i installed mate (which i think removed Gnome), then uninstalled it, as I thought it hadn't worked properly, and ended up with no desktop at all.  I think in the process it removed some packages it now needs15:20
pragmaticenigmavaraindemian: There are methods for running the BIOS upgrade tools, but it depends on who made your system and what method they use to update the BIOS15:20
pragmaticenigmamarkey165: You installed Ubuntu MATE?15:21
hans_varaindemian, the "BIOS Update (Bootable CD)15:21
hans_" probably doesn't care what your OS is, the OS compat list is completely irrelevant (not to mention misleading), you don't need Windows to burn an ISO to a disk and boot up from it.15:21
markey165pragmaticenigma: Default install direct from DVD ISO. I then installed mate (which i think removed Gnome). I then uninstalled mate (as i thought it hadn't installed properly) and on reboot, i found i had no desktop manager at all. I managed to reinstall mate, the only issue is I am now stuck on ONE monitor and stuck in VESA mode15:21
hans_all you need is a CD burner, an empty CD, and dd. alternatively use an USB stick & dd15:21
pragmaticenigmamarkey165: If this is a recently installed system, I honestly would just start from the beginning again with the desire Ubuntu flavor you desire to run. Trying to fix it after the fact, is really complex and more time intensive then just starting over. If you have a bunch of stuff already configured in there, we can make a best effort15:23
pragmaticenigmaBut it may still have some bugs and glitches15:24
markey165pragmaticenigma: haha yes, I was half considering this, but thought, how hard can it be to change a Video driver lol. So it seems simply installing Mate, and then Removing Mate has removed far more than expected.15:26
markey165and left my machine stuck in VESA mode15:26
ioriamarkey165, propably it removed xserver-xorg-core15:27
markey165ioria: I ran apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-core to fix that15:28
pragmaticenigmamarkey165: I suspect ioria is on the right trail. There was probably a dependency somewhere that got removed which triggered Xorg to also be removed. There is a lot more than xserver-xorg-core needed though. Hence the recommendation to just start from scratch. Otherwise you'll be playing wack-a-mole with us till we find "most" of the packages that are missing15:28

sentimentare you sure? because well the OS is already installed and it will be well... an upgrade no?16:49
sentimentcan you please answer my question about the logs?16:50
sentimentyou said something about removable media16:50
tchakatakif i remember well last time you had error using squashfs no ?16:50
tchakatakthere is upgrade your system cant do because some dependencies are broken16:51
sentimentand do you recommend installing 18.10 instead of 04 if I go that route?16:51
TJ-sentiment: the log shows grub-pc post-installation script failing with exit code 1016:51
TJ-sentiment: try this manually: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" ... this may generate a similar error, but helps us narrow it down16:52
sentimenttchakatak: I don't remember. I mean, there were some problems with some packages according to dpkg and  I sortted them out16:52
sentimentnow there are no warnings or errors according to dpkg16:52
sentimentsame for apt-get16:52
slyjesterI need some guidance one troubleshooting GUI perf degradation over time. Logging out and back in again seemed to help. Not sure where to start looking for problems. Anyone have suggestions?16:53
sentimentTJ-: OK, but there are newer folders for the upgrade, and that one was from the first try. Should I continue?16:53
=== sk_ is now known as phinaliumz
sentimentShould I paste the logs from the last upgrade log folder?16:53
sentimentor should I do as you suggested?16:54
TJ-sentiment: did the last upgrade seem to succeed, but left the system in an unstable state?16:54
sentimentyes it did16:54
sentimentthere was some message about it as well at the end of upgrade16:54
sentimentsomething like not everything went right16:55
sentimentI think it must be in the last log16:55
sentimentlet me see16:55
TJ-sentiment: I forgot now, so can you describe, exactly, what specific errors you're experiencing now?16:55
sentimentwell, the biggest one is that the old X desktop fails to respond completely. I am using wayland right now16:56
sentimentbut even in wayland, Nautilus crashes, and banshee and rhythmbox can't play anything16:56
sentimentI see them reporting errors in the terminal, not easy to fix as far as I can see.16:56
TJ-sentiment: can you capture and pastebin the nautilus errors? they may give a clue16:57
sentimentyes16:57
sentimentgowd this is exciting :p16:58
sentimentTJ-: GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 20:29:00.471: g_type_add_interface_dynamic: assertion 'G_TYPE_IS_INSTANTIATABLE (instance_type)' failed16:59
sentimentbefore that , is a warning:16:59
sentimentTwo different plugins tried to register 'NautilusDiscBurn'.17:00
sentimenttrying to remove or reinstall that plugin now17:01
coz_sentiment,  out of curiosity, did you try   sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade17:02
coz_sentiment, not that it will solve the issue, however it may17:04
sentimentI did yes17:05
TJ-sentiment: ahhh, now I'm recalling. Plugins!17:05
sentimentbut that package is not even installed17:06
sentimentNautilusDiscBurn17:06
sentimentthere is autilus-extension-burner though17:07
sentimentinstalled it now... am I on the right path?!17:08
sentimentnow purging it17:08
SoltisI have a .bash_profile that contains exclusively "echo $PATH" - nothing else. When I run su - x for that user, it outputs "echo: command not found". Note nothing in my configs is tampering with $PATH; everything is stock. This is on Ubuntu 16.04 - what exactly is going on?17:08
fallenour_hey everyone, Ive got a unique issue, and I know its not really ubuntu related, but I figured Id ask anyways. I need help getting a bios update on my servers. Can anyone offer any advice? I have the firmware im supposed to have from dell, but i cant get the ISO to build properly it seems.17:09
sentimentTJ-: no avail17:09
SoltisNote that it also fails with builtins like "export" if I attempt to export a variable in the bash_profile17:09
TJ-sentiment: seems like all extensions are installed under /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nautilus/extensions-3.0/17:09
TJ-sentiment: try this: "dpkg -S /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nautilus/extensions-3.0/"17:09
TJ-sentiment: that command will list packages and the files they contain that match that path17:10
sentimentok got rid of one warning at last, but still crashes of course17:11
sentimentok17:11
sentimentgood command :)17:12
sentimentdeja-dup, nautilus-extension-brasero:amd64, nautilus: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nautilus/extensions-3.017:12
sentimentI did reinstall them all numerous times though17:12
sentimentthe deja-dup and brasero packages17:12
sentimentwhen I removed dup nautilus nagged that it needs to be installed17:13
TJ-sentiment: it might be worth temporarily removing them to try and narrow down the cause, those errors in the log may not be the cause of the problem17:13
sentimentit didn't say so explicitly though17:13
sentimentok17:13
dr4kenfolks, which are the commands for upgrading from 16.04 to 18.04 trough APT/trminal?17:14
tchakatakapt dist-upgrade ?17:14
spacecrab^17:14
sentimentdr4ken: don't do that! :p17:14
tchakataksentiment ...17:14
spacecrabiirc now-a-days dist-upgrade is a lot more trustworthy than it used to be :P17:15
sentimentjust enjoy the stability you have now17:15
spacecrabalso 18.04.1 has been my daily driver for like 3mo now and is going exceedingly well. happy to be on gnome again17:15
sentimentunless you want to be occupied for a week trying to fix the upgrade17:15
* sentiment runs17:15
tchakataksentiment its because you had a lot of custom stuff on your distrib and you didnt let it finish correctly17:16
sentimentI don't know really17:16
sentimentI am a cautious person most of the time17:16
tchakatakdr4ken: be sure you have update and upgrade everything before updateing17:16
sentimentI only had PPAs for Microsoft and Opera17:16
sentiment^ oh and I did that too17:17
rfmdr4ken, the official instructions are in the release notes, look for "to upgrade on a server system" for the CLI.  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BionicBeaver/ReleaseNotes17:17
sentimentmaybe the mirrors were at  fault , dunno17:17
tchakataksentiment computer fault ? :)17:17
sentimentTJ-: purged them all17:17
dr4kentchakatak, sentiment, spacecrab, what about "sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y && sudo do-release-upgrade" ?17:17
sentimentnow there is only one error:17:17
sentimentSettings schema 'org.gnome.DejaDup' is not installed17:17
TJ-sentiment: does Nautilus crash ?17:18
dr4kenrfm, exactly im reading that page, but they mention do-release-upgrade17:18
tchakatakdr4ken: look at the manual17:18
sentimentyes17:18
sentimentTJ-: that error led me to install one of those extensions17:18
tchakatakdr4ken: then do as they say :)17:18
sentimentDejaDup17:18
slyjesterAnyone else notice gnome GUI becoming laggy over time in 18.04 / 18.10? (using nvidia drivers)17:18
spacecrab@dr4ken oyu're right, do-release-upgrade should be the last step and is the command which actually brings you to a new release17:19
dr4kenyeah the thing is, i dont know the diff. between apt dist-upgrade and do-release-upgrade17:19
TJ-sentiment: then we can use the debugger to capture the crash: "gdb --args nautilus" then at the (gdb) shell prompt type "run" and wait until the process crashes17:19
sentimenttchakatak: I don't know really, something went wrong and I don't think I did anything wrong.17:19
spacecrabdr4ken disconnected right as he asked lol17:19
sentimentI mean I didn't have 'lots' of custom stuff etc17:20
spacecrabwelcome back17:20
sentimentTJ-: holy crap, do we have to go that deep now?17:20
spacecrab@dr4ken dist-upgrade upgrades _all_ packages to latest on current version, while do-release-upgrade actually does the major version upgrade17:20
dr4kenspacecrab, so basically, do-release-upgrade method should be only used AFTER an apt update&upgrade right?17:21
TJ-sentiment: if the program crashes of course; it'll give us an exact stack trace of what is failing17:21
sentimentit crashed now17:21
spacecrabi would only do it that way @dr4ken, yes. but i'm sure it has it's own checks too. can't hurt, in any case.17:21
sentimentok it says libglib2.017:21
sentimentproblem with that17:21
TJ-sentiment: OK, type "bt full2 to get a backtrace and pastebin the trace itself17:22
sentimentThread 1 "nautilus" received signal SIGTRAP, Trace/breakpoint trap.17:22
sentiment0x00007ffff7906e11 in ?? () from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so.017:22
TJ-sentiment: oops, typo. "bt full"17:22
sentimentNo symbol "full2" in current context.17:22
sentimentah ok17:22
sentimentTJ-: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/SFfdnQdCVB/17:23
sentimentshould I reinstall that lib?17:24
sentimentglib17:24
sentimentif it's a stacktrace, then that one is at fault17:24
sentimentit's the last call right?17:24
TJ-sentiment: no. you said you uninstalled the dejadupe extension?17:24
sentimentyes17:24
TJ-sentiment: stack frame #8 is in /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-3.0/libdeja-dup.so  so the file is still there. Was nautilus running when you did the uninstall? is another instance of nautilus running besides the one you're currently testing?17:25
TJ-sentiment: that file should have been removed when the package was removed, unless it was held open by an active process17:26
sentimentI see no nautilus at all17:27
sentimentthat is the problem. it crashes17:27
sentimentlet me check though17:27
sentimentgive me one minute17:27
naccTJ-: possibly that path is a symlink? i wonder if it isn't cleaned up properly17:28
rfmSoltis, got to be something strange in /etc/profile.  (Not thinking of an option that says "disable builtins", though.)17:28
nacccould `dpkg -S` that path to make sure17:29
TJ-nacc: I don't think so, it's the only .so in the package17:29
naccTJ-: in 18.04 that's  not the correct path17:29
naccdeja-dup: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nautilus/extensions-3.0/libdeja-dup.so17:29
sentimentoh this is getting interesting... brb :)17:29
TJ-nacc: oh good spot!17:29
rfmSoltis, what does "type echo" say in that shell?  how about "./bin/echo $-" (to see the 'set' options..)17:29
naccTJ-: sorry, i should have said that first, found that from apt-file17:31
naccTJ-: and i wonder if they moved in 16.04 -> 18.04 and something left a symlink behind (i only see one symlink in the path you referred to on  my 18.04 system)17:31
TJ-nacc: I'm wondering that too; checking in a container17:33
TJ-aha sentiment deja-dup: /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-3.0/libdeja-dup.so17:34
TJ-sentiment: that is from 16.0417:34
TJ-sentiment: nacc: right, so it looks like the 16.04 package(s) haven't been removed during the upgrade17:36
naccTJ-: right, we should be able to see by `apt-cache policy deja-dup` or by dpkg itself17:37
naccon that path, i mean (`dpgk -S /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-3.0/libdeja-dup.so`17:37
TJ-nacc: I suspect as deja-dup was removed we won't see anything :)17:37
nacchopefully not :)17:38
TJ-nacc: this is a left-over due to the broken release-upgrade I think; which makes detecting other similar breakages ... problematic17:38
naccbut it's a good sanity check ;)17:38
naccTJ-: ah could be17:38
TJ-can't use debsums17:38
TJ-the only way would be to use debsums from a grafted-on 16.04 /var/lib/dpkg/info/* to check for 16.04 files present17:39
naccright17:39
naccalternatively, if that's just a symlink, delete it and see if the problem goes away ;)17:39
TJ-I've done that before with an overlay mount but I doubt sentiment is in a position to do that17:39
TJ-nacc: right, but this is just one of a range of other symptoms17:40
sentimentnacc: no path found matching pattern /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-3.0/libdeja-dup.so17:40
TJ-I suppose we could use debfoster to get a list of top-level packages from 18.04, then apply that in a container/chroot of 16.04, *then* overmount to /var/lib/dpkg/info/ and run debsums17:41
* sentiment shivers17:41
TJ-sentiment: this is trivial compared to some stuff I have to do :P17:41

sentimentthen continue from there?17:42
naccntd: https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2018/CVE-2018-0732.html already fixed everywhere17:42
TJ-sentiment: yes17:42
ntdalso: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/1102617:42
ntdcan you believe this...17:42
TJ-sentiment: is it a symlink, or a file?17:42
naccntd: please read the rest of them, and see what their status is. no point in asking this cahnnel for info taht is readily available to you17:43
ntdnacc, https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2018/CVE-2018-5407.html17:43
ntdetc17:43
JimBuntuntd: CVE-2018-0732 was originally publishedon NVD back on 6/12/201817:43
ntdyeah, the first one is oooold17:43
naccntd: right, and that tells you everything anyone in the support channel can tell you.17:43
ntdCVE-2018-5407, bionic still vuln17:44
sentimentTJ-: a file17:44
sentimentELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV)17:45
ntdnot the end of the world, but i get antsy because ub usually trail deb by weeks when it comes to openssl17:45
sentimentso can't remove it I guess17:45
sentimentso it's getting touch from here right?17:45
TJ-sentiment: nacc OK, so this could be affecting other packages. But for now, delete that file and try nautilus17:45
ntdin addition to that *freaky* new systemd vuln i linked to (https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/11026):17:46
naccntd: in any case, this isn't really a support topic. You coudl try #ubuntu-hardened (I feel like I have mentioned that channel to you in the past, but I migth be misremembering)17:46
ntdhttps://usn.ubuntu.com/3816-3/ <--- In order to continue to support this configuration, the fixes for CVE-2018-6954 have been reverted"17:46
ntd"We apologize for the inconvenience."17:46
naccntd: do you have a support question?17:47
ntdreally? you reverted the remote root vulnfix is systemd "because reasons"?17:47
ntdin17:47
sentimentTJ-: nautilus kind of stuck now... timeout was reached error17:47
pragmaticenigmantd: Do you have a support question. If not, your conversation belongs in the #ubuntu-offtopic channels17:47
sentimentdidn't open, neither did it crash17:47
naccntd: that is not a remote root volunerability.17:47
ntdafaik it is if you systemd does dhcp17:48
TJ-sentiment: I have the feeling there are other stray files from 16.04 lingering17:48
sentimentyeah17:49
sentimenthow long will you be here? unfortunately I have to leave now17:49
TJ-sentiment: At this point it does point to needing to do a clean (re)install of 18.04; Save /home/ /etc/ and possibly some bits under /var/ if you databases and other configs17:50
sentimentOK bbl... thanks for the help :)17:50
TJ-sentiment: I seem to recall you wanted to limit bandwidth use, but to fix this as it stands would need to do a chroot install of 16.04 to be able to detect the problem files17:51
sentimentso not worth it ... OK point taken tchakatak ;)17:51

strangerrWhen I create an apparmor profile for mariadb, the service refuses to start due to denial of access to 'run/systemd/notify'. when I add that path with rw access to the apparmor profile for mariadb, the service still fails to start due to denial of access to that socket.19:59
ioriaprof2004,  this is the default version : http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/qGSv7T3GG9/19:59
prof2004The asus prime Z370 has its own graphics19:59
prof2004So what are you telling me, what did I wrong and what shall I do?20:00
strangerri did notice that apparmor is referencing the socket using the relative path 'run/systemd/notify' but the convention within apparmor profiles is to use an absolute file path. i think this discrepancy is why my rule is not taking effect.20:01
ioriaprof2004,  cd /etc/default/grub   and backup that  file (grub,i mean) and replace with the version i pasted20:01
strangerrmy question is: what file do i look into editing to change the path mariadb is using to speak with the systemd notify socket/=20:02
strangerri want to trace how systemd is starting mariadb.service20:03
ioriaprof2004,  cd /etc/default/20:03

ioriaprof2004,  atm it's not working20:29
prof2004that is, what I have thaught, that is, why I have got the RX card out of the system20:30
ioriaprof2004,  you pulled it out ?20:30
prof2004yes, I told you, to eliminate an error reason20:31
prof2004I thaught, that the system will easier start with the on board graphics20:31
ioriaprof2004,  paste    lspci -nnk| pastebinit20:31
ioriaprof2004,  i lost that part20:32
prof2004I had already a lot of work to bring the rx up and running under ubuntu 16, and while migrating on 1820:32

ioriaprof2004, the only issue i can see now is the 8th intel core cpu20:44
prof2004you mean this wonderful i7 8700 cpu?20:44
ioriaprof2004, yes... :)20:45
prof2004is the cpu damaged?20:45
ioriaprof2004, idt so20:45
prof2004ok, so I have to contact my supplier20:45
ioriaprof2004, reboot20:46
prof2004ok20:46
prof2004all 3 monitors are working with the dots20:47
prof2004the dots have stalled20:47
prof2004I remember, that I had this behavior, when I moved to 18.0420:47
prof2004On 16.04 I have used the drive form the RX supplier, but they not working under 18.0420:48
prof2004but here we got something else, I do not remember the name, but it worked well20:48
prof2004the system is still stalled20:49
ioriaprof2004  i915.alpha_support=1 maybe ?20:49
prof2004what do you mean?20:49
prof2004after a dark monitor, now the messages are displayed20:50
ioriaprof2004  it was for 16.04 and cofee lake20:50
prof2004last one, started hold until boot process finishes up20:50
prof2004this msg was already before20:51
prof2004when starting user sessions20:52
prof2004last one before was started LSB: Starts or stops the xinetd daemon..20:53
ioriaprof2004  still black ?20:53
prof2004no, read my last posts20:53
ioriaxinted daemons ? still exists ?20:54
prof2004yes20:54
prof2004and what i have seen before, when I have pushed the main button of the system to restart, the system showed some more messages to go down, it was not dead20:55
prof2004I think it is waiting for something20:55
ioriaprof2004  xinetd it's no more in use,afaict20:56
prof2004I have no clue, it is what is printed out20:56
prof2004is there any way to reinstall the system without loosing all my setups and data?20:57
ioriaprof2004  start thinking it's not agraphic issue20:57
prof2004you know, the system worked fine since month with the setup and hardware, until the last system update20:58
tewardprof2004: a reinstall probably wouldn't solve the problem because when you apply updates again you'll have a similar problem.  but unless your /home/ data is in a separate partition there is no easy way to reinstall while keeping your configs, etc. the same (you'd have to back up your data first to another device)20:59
ioriaprof2004  boot the 4.15.0-39 kernel (or what you have as spare)20:59
prof2004data is no problem20:59
prof2004ok, i will do a normal boot from the prev kernel21:00
prof2004i am starting with .3921:01
ioriaprof2004  i saw a libunity update in your history.log,so i asked you what de were in use21:02
prof2004sorry?21:02
iorianever ind21:02
ioria*mind21:02
prof2004I do not understand21:03
iorianot relevant21:03
prof2004the system starts with the .39 version similar to the other version, currently all monitors are black21:04
ioriaprof2004  run out of ideas, maybe keep asking or come back back tomorrow .... we'll find a fix21:04
prof2004If I do create a live usb and start from this usb stick, and it works, than there should be a problem with the curr. setup, right?21:05
ioriaright21:05
prof2004system is on again with the same status, waiting for boot process21:05
prof2004Let us finish our trials right now. Many thanks to you, ioria, for your support.21:06
prof2004I will try the usb stick and come back here afterwards, may be tommorow.21:06
