[00:12] Anyone here using Ubuntu on a Dell XPS 13 by chance? I'm having a terrible time with display scaling in Gnome on Ubuntu 18.04 [00:12] 100% 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 problem [00:30] rantic, gnome tweak gives more options, scaling [00:31] OerHeks, it only includes font scaling - which unfortunately doesn't help with the UI elements etc [00:31] ah, correct https://i.stack.imgur.com/4Xh9c.png [00:34] whole article, with xrandr solutions, not sure this is an answer https://askubuntu.com/questions/1029436/enable-fractional-scaling-for-ubuntu-18-04 [00:49] hello. 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 sudo [00:49] why is that? [01:03] Hey, i'm 'new'. With Linux, that is. [01:03] Anyone know anything about aircrack related things? [01:05] All 1168 of you are boring. [01:08] meskes: explain what you're trying to achieve, and ask your actual question [01:09] Well, I was wondering about general knowledge, [01:09] You see, [01:09] virmaha, check the permissions on the containing directories [01:10] ducasse: I'm looking for help with something to do with wifite, the tool. [01:10] ducasse: Nevermind, i have that found out [01:17] list [01:20] i tried to change priority and nicelevel using start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --chuid "$FAIL2BAN_USER" --nicelevel 13 --iosched 'idle' --exec $DAEMON but it won't change the prio and nice level https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/MzgznDnn6C/ [01:21] ducasse: 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. :) [01:23] ducasse: Sorry about that. Really, I am. [01:26] meskes: np [01:26] Thanks, brother. Appreciate it. [01:30] rfm: thanks,..that was it === kameloso^ is now known as kameloso [01:38] fishcooker, 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 effect [01:41] fishcooker, you probably want to use the Nice= setting in a systemd drop-in (read the systemd.unit man page) [01:43] I'm about to image a drive using dd... what parameters should I pass in to make it go relatively fast? [01:43] The drive in question is an NVMe SSD [02:22] Some_Person, just set the block size up to a megabyte or so [03:20] not trolling [03:53] How do I tell if I'm using unity or gnome? [03:54] Should tell you in settings under info [03:55] tbanks [04:17] amazonian: https://askubuntu.com/questions/695947/do-i-have-gnome-or-unity [05:44] someone tell me where xorg.conf is actually located [05:45] It 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 place [05:45] MrSassyPants: it's typically not needed nowadays. [05:46] MrSassyPants: there isn't one by default anymore, if there is it's in /etc/X11/ [05:46] MrSassyPants: so it's not strange if you don't have it [05:46] Well, obviously it is somehow being used and composed, if nothing else, by nvidia-drivers [05:47] Because the way I understand configless xorg to work and the way it seems to work with installed nvidia drivers differs significantly [05:48] so I need to take control back from ... such things and I can't very well do that without actually being in control of the conf [05:50] according to the xorg logs it uses *both* of those .d folders as sources for the config [05:50] MrSassyPants: how about you tell us what you reaal are trying to do? [05:50] MrSassyPants: nothing stops you from creating an xorg.conf if you need to. But it's not strange that you do not have one currently.

[05:56] !latest | Randolf [05:56] Randolf: 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] Randolf: we reccomend, if you need a higher package, try out a higher ubuntu version so packages dont get mixed up [05:57] I'm already using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, and I keep it upgraded with apt. [05:57] OpenSSL 1.1.1 improves security as it brings in support for TLSv3. [05:58] Been 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 prompt [05:59] JustAPerson: thats the last line you see? [05:59] lotuspsychje: it hangs at that [05:59] !info openssl cosmic | Randolf [05:59] Randolf: 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 kB [06:00] Sorry, I meant TLS v1.3. [06:00] Randolf: if security flaws are found, you will receive system updates on bionic too [06:01] Randolf: but we reccomend to keep the packages for the specific ubuntu version [06:02] JustAPerson: can you provide us a bit details of your install? recent iso? system specs? did ubuntu work before on your machine? [06:05] lotuspsychje: 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. [06:07] Randolf: try apt-cache search to install packages you need on your system [06:09] Randolf: what doesnt work on your current php version from bionic? [06:10] Huh? [06:10] Randolf: you say you need php 5? [06:11] I don't. One client does, and so I had to use a PPA to get that working. [06:11] The other clients who need PHP are all on PHP 7.2 now. [06:11] Randolf: ok and why did the client need php5? [06:12] hi buddies [06:12] stat=Deferred: Connection timed out with hotmail-com.olc.protection.outlook.com. [06:12] Dec 5 06:08:16 atlantis sm-mta[17415]: wB560GcZ017412: [06:12] Why could this be happening? [06:12] I am using sendmail to send an email [06:12] and it is timing out [06:12] vigilant: more a question for ##networking ? [06:12] okay [06:32] hello [06:41] lotuspsychje: The client had old code, and said they didn't have the resources to upgrade it. [06:42] Randolf: ubuntu is free to upgrade? [06:42] lotuspsychje: I've been able to get other clients to upgrade to new versions of software, but this one can't do it. [06:42] So, 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] Fortunately, there is a PPA that makes it possible to run PHP5. [06:43] ok allright [06:43] I'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] They know my recommendation, but at the end of the day it is what it is. [06:44] Randolf: just keep in mind production + not upgrade/updating is a dangerous hobby [06:44] havent 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 ? === capella is now known as capella|away [06:44] only if i use fullpath with ls does the softlink show [06:46] not 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 -> file [06:47] lotuspsychje: I agree. This isn't a hobby for me. I've been running internet servers professionally since the early-to-mid 1990s. [06:47] great Randolf [06:48] lotuspsychje: 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. [06:49] feel free to idle in #ubuntu-discuss Randolf [06:52] hwweiler: see also ##linux or #bash for commands in the terminal [06:53] lotuspsychje: i figured it's a ubuntu thing to hide it per some config file [06:53] hwweiler: if you feel its ubuntu related, no problem [06:54] hwweiler: just trying to widen your options :p [06:54] lotuspsychje: im following your tip, as it seems here im in the wrong tz and everyone is sleeping [06:55] hwweiler: alot of europe will wake in the next hour here, idle a bit or re-ask in a while it will get solved for sure [06:56] maybe you know this [06:56] lotuspsychje: i've created a softlink in both directions is that a problem? i forogt in which order they are meant to be done [06:57] hwweiler: is this what you need? https://ubuntuhak.blogspot.com/2013/04/symbolic-links-in-ubuntu.html [06:59] lotuspsychje: ? no.. i though we were on the same page [07:08] where can I find details about http://dell.archive.canonical.com/updates/dists/ (for example specific repo for Dell Precision 5520)? [07:12] Hi all, ever since I installed the proprietary Nvidia graphics driver, my system hangs on boot. I've tried blacklisting these kernel modules (https://pastebin.com/raw/vSdFuX3T), as one forum suggested, but it didn't help. I'm using Ubuntu 18.10. any ideas? [07:17] Steven_M: wich chipset and driver version please? [07:29] how do you install the openvpn vlient on ubuntu 18.04 lts? [07:30] client* [07:35] lotuspsychje: nvidia gforce GT 525M, the tested version of the driver from the additional drivers panel. I can't remember the version number sorry. [07:51] lotuspsychje: any ideas [07:52] i'm trying to get rid of a linux-image-extra package.. it seems autoremove has made an attempt of removing it earlier as well.. [07:52] https://pastebin.com/6b3XZxeh [07:52] what do i do? [07:56] zamba: sudo dpkg --force-all -P [07:57] sh: echo: I/O error [07:57] what's this? [08:03] Ben64: no, that didn't help === Class7_ is now known as Class7 [08:16] zamba: you can try reinstalling it with apt before purging it, 'apt install --reinstall ...' [08:16] Hi. [08:16] i believe i found the problem, /run was full [08:16] A coworker of mine needs to start bitlbee on boot. [08:16] But systemctl enable bitlbee wont work. [08:16] and that created all kinds of havoc [08:16] Is there any known trick? [08:52] hey [08:52] anyone here use openvpn? [08:53] CoolerZ: best to ask your question to the channel [08:53] how do i get openvpn to set / restore the dns settings automatically each time i connect / disconnect? [08:53] CoolerZ: `apt install openvpn` [08:53] do i need this? https://roy.marples.name/projects/openresolv [08:54] currently i can connect to my openvpn server and connect to different ip addresses, ping them, etc [08:54] however dns isn't setup properly, its still using the old dns settings that were there before connecting to openvpn [08:54] so no domain names get resolved [08:55] Hey, how would you start bitlbee on boot when "systemctl enable bitlbee" does not work? [08:55] i found articles like these https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OpenVPN#DNS [08:55] saying i need to set some config, but i am confuse [08:55] d [08:59] o/ [09:00] help? [09:00] i am on ubuntu 18.04 btw [09:00] CoolerZ: what is your problem ? [09:04] tchakatak, openvpn isn't setting the dns properly [09:06] CoolerZ: generally this kind of problem come from your openvpn file [09:06] did you set on the ovpn file the dns ? [09:07] tchakatak, set on? what? [09:07] i have a .ovpn file [09:07] CoolerZ: First, are you the provider of the VPN [09:08] yes [09:08] ok [09:08] in a sense [09:08] so [09:08] AHA! BUSTED! Lol kiding [09:08] i am running openvpn on a amazon ec2 instance [09:08] in the ovpn file (where you have the config) you can include something like this [09:08] up /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf [09:08] look on github for the update-resolv-conf [09:09] tchakatak, about that, that script doesn't exist on my system [09:09] i checked [09:09] yes [09:09] this script is on github [09:09] only verify-cn is there in that folder [09:10] do i need to install openresolv? https://github.com/masterkorp/openvpn-update-resolv-conf [09:10] https://github.com/masterkorp/openvpn-update-resolv-conf [09:10] yes [09:10] do you have git on your system ? [09:12] yeah [09:12] i installed it [09:12] and now the script is there [09:13] do you use systemd-resolv or openresolv ? [09:13] do i just put the "up /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf" line anywhere inside the .ovpn file? [09:13] if you use openresolv yes :) [09:13] and dont forget to down it [09:13] tchakatak, well i installed openresolv [09:14] if not when your connexion will be terminated the dns will not update [09:14] i am guessing systemd-resolv is the default [09:14] tchakatak, how do i check what i am using? [09:14] on the serverside you have to push the dhns with push dhcp-options [09:14] tchakatak, yeah the server is already pushing the settings [09:15] if you installed it it should work oob [09:15] remember to put a +x flag on the script also [09:16] yeah it has that [09:16] then try [09:17] so where do i put the up and down line in the .ovpn file? [09:17] before the Certs [09:17] i have this in mine : [09:17] script-security 2 [09:17] after verb 3? [09:18] up /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf [09:18] depend of your file. [09:18] down /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf [09:19] WARNING: Failed running command (--up/--down): external program fork failed [09:19] Would you all recommend 4GB or 8GB. I think 16 would be overkill, in terms of memory [09:19] WARNING: 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] as i said put script-security 2 [09:19] Finalight: depend of your usage [09:20] tchakatak, also i have this line dev tun as the 2nd line in my .ovpn file [09:20] shouldn't it be tap? client has tap and server has tun ? [09:21] CoolerZ: i sended you a part of my config in pm, feel free to copy :) [09:21] tchakatak; it won't be that crazy. just maybe some ftp/web, definitely learning. but i don't want the desktop environment to be sluggish [09:22] tchakatak, yours doesn't have the tun tap line [09:22] Finalight: which desktop? [09:22] Finalight: 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] depend of your config [09:22] ducasse; whatever one it comes with. but i really dislike the default. [09:23] Finalight: if you're going to run a desktop environment and a browser i'd get 8gb [09:24] ducasse thank you, and you asl well tchakatak [09:24] as* [09:24] CoolerZ: That depend of your serverside. [09:38] Hey, how would you start bitlbee on boot when "systemctl enable bitlbee" does not work? [09:41] PCoves: Did you check why the service failed? or the status of the service? [09:43] Nop, as it's for a remote coworker. [09:43] PCoves: first look at journalctl -xe [09:43] also journalctl status bitlebee [09:43] Thanks [09:43] if the process is not handled by systemd then you have to create your own module for it [09:46] There should be a systemd unit with the package from the ubuntu repo. [09:47] sometime you have no systemd unit [09:49] If 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] It's from official repo. [09:49] She assured me. [09:51] Even if its from the official repo sometime you dont have the systemd unit for certain modules [09:51] tchakatak: certain modules as in? packages == modules? [09:51] certain packages sorry [09:52] Either way bitlebee has provided systemd unit files, https://github.com/bitlbee/bitlbee/tree/master/init [09:52] unless ubuntu team removed them [09:53] PCoves: Your logs should point you in the right direction then, hard to help with little information. [09:54] Yep, those infos are hard to get from my coworker as well :-\ [09:55] PCoves: journalctl -xe [09:55] Why not ssh on her computer ? [09:55] or vnc ? [09:56] I 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. [09:59] sud0x3: bitlbee works perfectly well on my (arch) box. [10:00] It's not for me. [10:01] Hello ! Following this tutorial https://lampjs.wordpress.com/2015/06/26/remapchange-your-secondaryusb-keyboard-keys/ , are changes done with xkbcomp persistent? [10:05] afx_: it should be. [10:06] tchakatak, is there a way I can revert to default layout ? [10:06] Should I keep a backup maybe? [10:07] afx_: you can loadkeys for your current session [10:09] tchakatak, can you guide me through please? [10:09] PCoves: 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] Regardless nobody here can help with "it wont wont", need to provide some more information. [10:09] afx_: you would need to load the new layout you created each time x is restarted [10:10] ducasse, no problem for now as this is only atest [10:10] afx_: 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' [10:12] 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 place [10:13] I'll send her here, might be more efficient, you guys are right. [10:13] afx_: you could use an .xinitrc file [10:14] like creating your owm map, and load it itch reboot trough the .xinitrc file. [10:14] tchakatak, isn't that for persistent / startup configuration ? [10:15] oh, you just want to have your modification for the session ? [10:15] tchakatak, I need the opposite. I want to test some modifications only for this session [10:15] sorry i understood the inverse [10:15] no problem :) [10:16] afx_: take a look around setxkbmap [10:17] tchakatak, let me check [10:18] ah setxkbmap -layout us , should work tchakatak [10:18] yep. [10:18] and for multiple layouts setxkbmap -layout us,it for example yes? [10:19] i need to check the doc, but i supposed :) [10:19] no problem [10:19] this must be it [10:20] https://www.dotkam.com/2007/06/25/custom-keyboard-layout-in-ubuntu-or-just-linux-2/ [10:20] take a look at this [10:20] 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] afx_: networkmanager-applet ? [10:20] tchakatak, ah that is very nice [10:21] this applet has also sound, settings along with networking but that could be it [10:22] normally gnome have is own stuff, but you can use network-manager-applet aswell [10:24] tchakatak, https://imgur.com/a/gmCea0Y [10:24] so I am running debootstrap and everything finishes OK, yet the program exit code is 2 [10:24] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/4CST5qF2Qp/ [10:24] what could be the reason for this? [10:24] afx_: thats not nm applet, but the gnome stuff [10:26] afx_: take a look around gnome-tweaks / extensions / network [10:26] azi`: i would say the gpg key wich is not there ? [10:26] W: Cannot check Release signature; keyring file not available /usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg [10:27] Hello! I have a serious problem. Installed Okular which has a light theme by default. Wanted to make it dark. Installed qt5-style-plugins && qt5ct -- it didn't work out. [10:27] it install what you want, but cant verify the signature. [10:27] tchakatak, There are Ubuntu appindicators , Ubuntu dock both disabled [10:27] Then there occurred another problem -- when I run my laptop, I have 2 workspaces (by default). After that, I have 4-5 workspaces outta nowhere. WTF??? [10:27] tchakatak: wouldn't that just be a warning? [10:27] azi`: should. maybe a bug ? [10:27] tchakatak: in any case, do you know how to fix the keyring problem so I can verify? [10:28] azi`: just add the gpg key [10:28] afx_: then activate them :) [10:28] arndff: empty workspace ? [10:28] Yes, 5 workspaces, mate. I'm going crazy. [10:29] I don't use workspaces.............................................. [10:29] arndff: you can remove them [10:29] Don't know how? [10:29] And they appear outta nowhere... [10:29] arndff: look in gnome tweak tools ( not using gnome myself but if i remember well they are there- [10:29] tchakatak: hm.. I have no idea where to get that specific keyring and how to activate it [10:29] tchakatak, ok let me restart [10:29] tchakatak: in any case would you say that this is a bug in debootstrap or the proper way it works? [10:30] $ gpg --keyserver keyring.debian.org --recv-keys 0x673A03E4C1DB921F [10:31] tchakatak: thank you. could you tell me where did you got the last hex string from? for educational purposes [10:31] azi`: keyring.debian.org :) [10:32] tchakatak: hm.. seems like it causes the same error : W: Cannot check Release signature; keyring file not available /usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg [10:33] tchakatak, seems to be working , appreciate for your help ! [10:33] afx_: No problem :) [10:34] https://debian-administration.org/article/82/Working_with_Debian_GPG_Keys [10:39] tchakatak: thanks, hopefully I figure it out [10:52] tchakatak: seems to be failing even without the warning https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/WWsRSdyyC3/ [10:52] tchakatak: would you consider that to be a bug? [11:05] in packages.ubuntu.com I see both nginx-full and nginx-extras provide /usr/sbin/nginx in bionic, is this clash expected? [11:10] How can something be temporarily in $PATH? Is it loaded from etc/environment when the session starts and it just adds to that list in memory? [11:15] anddam: they conflict each other, can't install at the same time [11:15] Kake_: by exporting a modified PATH to the shell. export PATH=$PATH:/foo/bar for example [11:15] Kake_: you can overwrite the entire variable whenever you want [11:16] blackflow: ah makes sense [11:16] thanks [11:23] hello [11:24] ubuntu 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 not [11:25] Anyone knows an application that shows the location of a picture in Google Maps? [11:26] i 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) [11:27] i tried to copy it in windows (the name of the program is blank at the moment), but without success [11:28] Orvalvisje: https://askubuntu.com/questions/147800/ripping-dvd-to-iso-accurately assuming there aren't hidden track or some other DRM protection [11:29] Could just use DD to make an ISO [11:29] dd* [11:34] 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 ago [11:36] i am not really that educated in using the terminal, blackflow [11:36] dd if=/dev/cdrom of=image_name.iso so, the "image_name is the name that i will give it then? [11:38] Orvalvisje: that's the ISO file you'll be storing the ripped DVD yes. [11:38] 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 help [11:38] Orvalvisje: The name of the written file will be "image_name.iso". [11:38] not 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] ok, i typed it in the terminal, and no text or anything or progress is shown, but i can hear the dvd running [11:39] yes that's how dd works. I don't think it has a progress bar and I think on linux ctrl-t (SIGINFO) doesn't work [11:39] Oh wait, it doesn't seem to have loaded the path properly, I'll try to restart [11:40] ok, thanks blackflow ... i'll wait until the noise stops [11:41] Orvalvisje: actually I guess I was wrong. dd has status=progress option, at least on bionic's version of dd [11:43] Orvalvisje: You can send SIGUSR1 to the dd process to make it print some stats while copying. [11:55] ok, 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] by the way, when finished, some info appeared in the terminal [11:56] Orvalvisje: define "make it work" [11:59] well, 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] Orvalvisje: uhm... is that a windows program? [12:00] it ran in ubuntu sometimes as well, but not stable or sometimes the dvd was recognized, other times not [12:01] on the dvd it says linux (redhat 7.3 or higher) [12:03] Orvalvisje: 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.html [12:03] it's possible the file manager will mount/open the ISO file when doubleclicked too, I don't know [12:04] Orvalvisje: so what's actually on the disk? [12:05] it is a study program that i use to teach dutch. It is a program dvd that also contains clips and sounds [12:09] ok, 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 backup [12:11] i am going to switch pc ... i'll be back [12:12] hello [12:18] Orvalvisje: 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. [12:19] blackflow, 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, though [12:29] 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 media [12:39] Hey folks [12:42] Hello. What tool can give me a short summary of the hardware (CPU, memory and board type, disks, ...) my Ubuntu is runnning on? [12:42] ok 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 0 [12:42] gonna give up [12:44] vlt: inxi, for example [12:44] just wanna thank you for your time and effort [12:44] ducasse: Thanks. === alephnull_ is now known as alephnull [13:10] Hello people! I have a question regarding the compilation of https://github.com/tbsdtv/linux_media/ , I'm using ubuntu 18.04LTS but alway seem to get this error: 'error: code model kernel does not support PIC mode' ,, Does anybody know how to force PIC mode or something like that to complete compilation? [13:19] when will ubuntu update to codeblocks 17.12? (major release from december 2017) [13:20] tloader11, did you custom-compile your kernel? [13:22] Hi hans, No, i did not :p [13:23] Hello - I'm using Geany with a dark theme, so the text colour is light. When I print to file with GTK native printing, the pdf text is light too, and therefore not easily read. How can I use dark theme and print? [13:24] tloader11: but that's a whole kernel source that you linked [13:25] Hey, I tried to install ubuntu (18.04) on my Laptop but I ran into a problem with the video output during startup. Is this the right channel for questions or should I switch to another? [13:25] . [13:25] I've noticed that Gedit dark theme does not have this issue [13:26] \joint #geany [13:27] \join #geany [13:28] Has Ubuntu IRC changed recently? A few years ago it was very busy! [13:28] uio: https://xkcd.com/1782/ (sorry, offtopic, but couldn't resist) [13:29] blackflow: it's a kernel module, right? From what I understood it might be possible that my kernel source is too old [13:29] blackflow: haha! [13:29] tloader11: that repo is the whole kernel source, not just a module [13:30] I have no idea what you're trying to do otherwise. [13:30] blackflow: But it's really changed! Five years ago here were hundreds of questions all the time! [13:31] yeah it's nice now. not too crowded. [13:32] Hello 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, than [13:32] ks. [13:34] hello [13:35] heu [13:35] blackflow: I don't know what I'm doing >,< [13:35] hey [13:35] my first time here, how do i change my name, or can't i lol? [13:36] tloader11: that's not something I can fix :) [13:39] blackflow: thought so, hahah [13:42] hello, i have ubuntu 18.04 desktop on my laptop (lenovo E480 with nvme disc SAMSUNG MZVLB256HAHQ-000L7 ) nvme disc spec. seq. READ speed is ~3000MB/s but when i tried hdparm -tT /dev/nvme0n1 i got only ~1300MB === qwebirc91042 is now known as markey164 [13:42] i tried debian 9 live booted from USB - max 1600MB/s === markey164 is now known as markey165 [13:42] any ideas why ? [13:44] The 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... [13:45] My machine is using "vesa" as its graphics driver. How do i change it to use "modesetting"? (Running Mate on Ubuntu 18.04) [13:45] I 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] My graphics card is a GT 130M and I am trying to run Ubuntu 18.04. [13:46] Any help appreciated? [13:49] Would 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 :( === capella|away is now known as capella [13:52] hej anyone knows how to bond 2 network cards into 1 conection to get more throwput? [13:54] Is this the right channel for ubuntu help questions? [13:54] markey165, yep :) Feel free to ask your question (with as much detail as possible) and someone will help if they know the answer [14:00] Neptu: yes, but depends on what is at the other end of the connection; LACP is one option [14:01]
