[00:07] CarlFK: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Allocation_Table#VFAT [00:07] it will probably be fat32 [00:30] systemd is giving mariadb.service a relative path to the notify socket, which breaks apparmor. consequently, mariadb is shipping an empty apparmor profile. when I go to write my own, i cant, because ubuntu's systemd implementation is passing a realative path to mariadb. systemd people said it's ubuntu's implementation of systemd, which should not be passing unit-files a relative path. how do i file a bug, or is this a know issue alrea [00:31] !bug | strangerr [00:31] strangerr: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please report it using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. [00:32] slidinghorn: thanks mang === MrC is now known as MrClaus [01:10] nvidia question here: https://pastebin.com/raw/gdzignrE === Butterfly^ is now known as Guest36741 [01:40] hey folks, just did an upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04, so far so "good" except i have a couple of oddities: [01:40] 1) all the icons' text in the desktop seems to have a shadow, but it is offset by too much and looks wierd [01:41] example of the issue: http://i.imgur.com/2LjPNyu.png [01:46] any non-WINE applications look like that? [01:47] slidinghorn, doesnt looks like [01:48] and just tested my cs 1.6 (under wine) and it does have odds fonts aswell [01:49] Might be something to ask in #winehq [01:49] slidinghorn, but those icons are on ubuntu, outside wine [01:51] The icons ship from upstream with WINE, I believe [01:53] plus, those are both pretty old games...they might be pretty close to the ones that came packaged from the publisher [01:54] slidinghorn, that is happening aswell with other icons wtf [01:54] which ones? Have another screenshot? Is it another WINE application? [01:55] slidinghorn, yeah, im uploading the screeshot [01:55] Install the wine fonts [01:55] nope, even my folders icons shows text with weird text [01:55] slidinghorn, http://i.imgur.com/mfb4GKB.png [01:56] AndyChow888, sorry, which is the name of the package? [01:56] ttf-mscorefonts, etc [01:56] Kremator, to make it easy: sudo apt install ubuntu-restricted-extras [01:56] Kremator, the easiest way, for wine, is to install winetricks [01:56] and that [01:57] The restricted-extras won't fix the wine issue. [01:57] which fonts should i install first? [01:57] nvm, it has a "all fonts" selection [02:00] Yeah. All fonts is the best. corefonts would probably fix it, but why skimp? [02:01] yeah, specially when storage space is cheap and plentyful these days [02:03] nvidia question here: https://pastebin.com/raw/gdzignrE [02:03] is there a simple way to show all the matching packages that are _not_ installed? [02:03] i've no practice with apt [02:04] rud0lf, what do you mean exactly by _not matching_ [02:04] apt-cache search term [02:04] i mean, by _matching_ [02:04] rud0lf, you can pipe that in to a less command if the list is too long [02:04] for example, matching xfce4-*-plugin that are not installed === capella|away is now known as capella === Skybot is now known as OhPie === DrWatson_ is now known as DrWatson === davor_ is now known as davor [05:37] ' [05:37] Ubuntu-Mate 18.04.1. What to do with it? sudo sh nvidiadriver.run = https://screenshots.firefox.com/aAj6X9BccYrTZu24 [05:40] page not found [05:42] qwefytuoityty, you want to run nvidiadriver.run? [05:43] qwefytuoityty: don't install nvidia drivers like that, you'll break everything. use https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/dev instead [05:45] why not install version NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-410.78.run? === Class7_ is now known as Class7 [05:46] not support version NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-410.78.run for ubuntu? [05:47] oh linux [05:48] Blame nVidia. Linux has nothing to do with this. [05:48] amen [05:52] i can install nvidia driver only from Ubuntu repository, not from nvidia website? https://www.nvidia.ru/Download/driverResults.aspx/140242/ru [05:54] It's safer that way. The nVidia releases are likely compiled for a specif kernel version. [05:55] And if you install from the repository, all the updates etc will work, and the kernel parameters are already setup. [06:12] Triffid_Hunter: why the /dev and not the whole graphics ppa? [06:17] lotuspsychje: doesn't seem to have 396.54.09 or 415.18.04 which are required for vulkan transform feedback - in turn required for dxvk (wine d3d11 to vulkan translator) to work right [06:20] ah i see Triffid_Hunter [06:25] Triffid_Hunter: are you looking for nvidia ppa? [06:27] hateball: a user wanted to install .sh driver from nvidia, Triffid_Hunter suggested the graphics ppa /dev to him [06:27] lotuspsychje: Yeah, that'd be the route to go for 396.54.09 [06:27] hateball: and i wondered why, the /dev and not main [06:27] Add the regular nvidia ppa, and the /dev one [06:28] the dev one doesnt have nvidia-settings and such, so it's clever to have both [06:28] if installing nvidia-driver-396 it'll be prefered from dev [06:28] hateball: why's that? [06:28] 415.18.04 is however not packaged there yet [06:29] lotuspsychje: why's what? [06:29] the 396 only dev [06:29] lotuspsychje: you mean why it's not in main? [06:29] it's considered a beta driver by nvidia [06:29] hateball: no i mean you say 396 its prefer [06:29] ah i get it now [06:30] I'm saying apt will automagically grab the beta driver from /dev if you have both PPAs, but you also are able to get nvidia-settings and other packages from the main PPA [06:30] those are not part of /dev [06:31] so if its not an optimus, and ubuntu reccomends 396, go for the dev 396 right? [06:32] I'd go for 396 over 415 right now, unless you have 2080 series card that needs 415 driver [06:32] there were some Unity (game engine) bugs with 415 but they might have been fixed now [06:32] yeah i always reccomend 390 and 396 to the GTX ones, or check what ubuntu-drivers reccomends [06:32] but wasnt aware of the dev version [06:34] Hey I'm having an issue when booting into my ubuntu 18.04 system. It loads through everything and then I see my cursor on the screen but it doesn't load into the desktop environment unless I ALT+F2 and manually do a `startx`. Once I'm in, I can see sddm-greeter using 25% of my cpu. Any ideas on that? [06:34] lotuspsychje: it's really only needed for bleeding edge DVXK stuff [06:35] DXVK* [06:36] kk [06:37] the latest native games require 396 anyhows, for vulkan stuff as well [06:38] by latest I mean things like Tomb Raider games and so on, not SuperTux :) [06:38] lol [06:39] hateball: yeah seen alot of users helped by the graphics ppa and latest 390 & 396 [06:39] 410 ive seen problems arise === [1]MrMobius is now known as MrMobius [06:40] yep, 410 and 415 were completely unusable on my system for instance [06:40] Shmam: are you on kubuntu 18.04? [06:40] yep [06:40] Shmam: upgraded from 16.04 or so? [06:40] uhh yea [06:41] Shmam: might be handy to see the text booting errors, could you screenshot before you can enter sddm? [06:41] yeah 1 sec, gonna reboot [06:41] Shmam: F1 to see the textboot style, [06:42] hateball: good to know [06:42] ok is there a way to screenshot this? [06:43] before I do the alt+f2 dance [06:43] Shmam: your camera, or just saying the last lines to us [06:43] Everything has the [ OK ] before it so im gonna skip that [06:44] Started set console scheme. created slice system-getty.slice started terminate plymouth boot screen started login service started simple desktop display manager... started simple desktop display manager [06:44] those are the last few lines [06:45] Shmam: ok and it freezes there? or can you get to login window? [06:45] freezes there [06:45] I get a cursor tho somehow [06:45] cant select text or anything [06:45] Shmam: did you have unity also on 16.04 just kubuntu [06:46] or [06:47] I dont think so. how can I check? [06:47] Shmam: if you didnt install or use it yourself, it should not so dont worry [06:48] ok I didn't install it or use unity. I've always been with kde [06:48] Shmam: you could try at text boot, entering TTY and purge sddm and reinstall right after [06:48] how do I do that? [06:49] Shmam: when your systemd is booting, press ctrl alt F1 or F2 or F3 [06:49] like when it hangs? [06:49] Shmam: that will drop you into a tty, no before it hangs [06:50] doesnt seem to be working [06:51] I cant switch it fast enough [06:51] Shmam: you see a kubuntu logo loading at boot? [06:51] I'm in tty2 but its already hanging [06:51] nope [06:51] only services starting up [06:51] Shmam: its that fast booting or? [06:52] shouldn't be. I think it hangs before the kubuntu logo [06:52] Shmam: what kind of graphics card do you have? [06:52] intel with the i7-7700U [06:53] ok nice [06:53] I saw that issue online too haha [06:53] but I dont think thats whats causing my problem [06:54] Shmam: normally if you can text boot to give us errors, you should be able to enter a tty before [06:54] Shmam: can you still enter a grub recoverymode? [06:54] folks, i had a 18.04 instance that had an encrypted swap, dumbly, i destroyed that partition from outsid using a live cd, now i created a new swap, put it on the fstab and while my system works again, i get 3 minute 20 seconds of bootime... [06:55] any suggestion what it could be? [06:55] yeah 1 sec [06:55] wow theres a lot of kernels here [06:55] ok im in recovery mode [07:00] Shmam: drop to a rootshell with networking please [07:00] press enter or ctrl+d? [07:01] enter for maintenance or ctrl+d to continue [07:01] Shmam: first enable the networking [07:01] whoops. shit [07:02] can I go back [07:02] or do I need to restart [07:02] Shmam: depends what you did [07:03] just moved down to root shell prompt and hit enter [07:03] Shmam: reboot and activate networking first from recovery menu [07:03] then drop to the rootshell [07:03] gotcha [07:04] alright whats next [07:04] Shmam: lets see your kernel first, uname -a gives you .42 ? [07:04] I picked 4.18.0-3-generic from the grub menu [07:05] not 100% sure that thats the same one that I use normally. should I go check? [07:05] Shmam: 4.18 is cosmic kernel, hmm did you play with mainline? [07:06] Shmam: bionic kernel should be 4.15.0-42-generic [07:06] I also had that option [07:06] ah kk [07:06] I had an issue with my ssd so I had to use a newer kernel at some point [07:06] I don't remember if I switched it back or not [07:06] Shmam: ok good to know [07:07] I can go boot back into my regular system and see what kernel that's using if that would be helpful [07:07] Shmam: lets see if your up to date: sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade [07:08] I don't think networking started successfully. It says temporary failure resolving: xxx [07:08] hmm ok [07:08] but I did an apt update and upgrade from the terminal right before I rebooted my system [07:08] so everything should be up to date [07:08] Shmam: ok tnx [07:08] if I"m on 18.10 fresh install on a ssd should I worry about noatime... reading conflicting articles. [07:08] anything I need to do to avoid lowering my ssd lifecycle? [07:09] Shmam: as you upgraded 18.04 try to boot kernel 4.15 -42 please [07:09] Shmam: lets see if you can get to sddm from there [07:09] folks, please help, im a bit desperate: http://dpaste.com/3CRKMXT.txt [07:09] eden_: ubuntu is already tweaked for optimal ssd use [07:09] boot into recovery there or normal boot? [07:09] eden_: but there are a few tweaks you still can consider [07:10] lotuspsychje: good news, such as to consider? [07:10] Shmam: normal boot, but with the right bionic kernel [07:10] eden_: swappiness= 10, install preload, bleachbit your system for cleaning, use 0 cache on browsers,.. [07:11] lotuspsychje, I'll dig into those for good measure, but it sounds like I should expect reasonable life without much concern. [07:11] lotuspsychje: ok that one has the same issue, stuck on started sddm [07:13] sorry dc [07:13] !info preload | eden_ also usefull [07:13] eden_ also usefull: preload (source: preload): adaptive readahead daemon. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.6.4-2build1 (bionic), package size 33 kB, installed size 102 kB [07:14] eden_: what brand of ssd do you have? [07:15] Not sure I have a relatively new flex 15 512gb ssd... its not an... easy laptop to open up. [07:15] eden_: you can see the brand from a terminal [07:15] lenovo that is [07:15] interesting looking for that command now [07:15] eden_: install inxi, then inxi -F === lotuspsychje_ is now known as lotuspsychje [07:17] vendor: SK Hynix model: HFS512GD9TNG-62A0A [07:17] what the. [07:17] eden_: ok, check their website if your device firmware is up to date [07:17] looks like a dam cheap ssd, lol [07:17] so how bout that sddm eyyy [07:18] eden_: either then that recent ssd brands cant easyly break these days, its the ammount of data flowing tru that influences the lifetime [07:18] Shmam: did you see my last advice? [07:19] Shmam: Shmam: allrighty, try to get networking going on a rootshell, then sudo apt purge sddm kubuntu-desktop and reinstall right after [07:20] Shmam: after reinstall, restart sddm with systemctl [07:20] rootshell on -42? [07:20] Shmam: sure [07:21] I cant get networking working though [07:21] Shmam: you got cable? [07:22] Shmam: we need networking to be able to reinstall packages [07:22] right, thats why I waited to uninstall haha [07:23] Shmam: another option would be, booting a kubuntu 18.04 live and install over existing, and save your /home from there and rescue system this way [07:24] Shmam: or, as a test try to !nomodeset into your system [07:24] !nomodeset [07:24] A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [07:24] hold on, I need to find a usbc dongle :cry: [07:25] should be able to get ethernet once I find this boi [07:25] Shmam: going for a break first, feel free to ask in the channel where you stuck allright [07:25] other volunteers read along [07:33] might dc here while I hook up a network switch [07:39] ok cool networking over ethernet works === capella is now known as capella|away === GortiZ1 is now known as GortiZ [08:10] I am using Slack in Ubuntu 18.04 and there is the option in the preferences 'Launch app on login', however it never has worked. When rebooting the app doesn't launch after login and the setting is no longer enabled. [08:10] How would one go about troubleshooting this? [09:03] I am having troubles removing files from a ppa that does not exist anymore [09:04] greetings, what is the default vnc gnome client on 18.04? [09:32] so my crontab doesnt seem to be working. it just has `@reboot /usr/bin/tilda` which doesnt work [09:34] Shmam: it won't - cron will not have access to your x session, use an autostart job instead to start it on login [09:37] that worked ty [09:38] yw [10:02] hi, i think my boot is in "fast boot mode" because i can't enter in BIOS Setup, so, does anyone know how can i disable fast boot in ubuntu? === Richard is now known as Guest67177 [10:13] how long will the 16.0.4 repositories remain InRelease ?

When I'm about to login, if my keyboard layout isn't English but Bulgarian... and I type my password, ctrl+a shortcut doesn't work. If I switch to English layout, the shortcut works fine. [10:39] Also, in google chrome, if my layout is bulgarian -> I can't use keyboard shortcut: ctrl+[1-9] (to switch tabs). If the layout is english, the shortcuts work fine. [10:40] I have no idea why the shortcuts depend on the layout... Shouldn't be like this IMO. Please help me out to fix it. [10:40] I'm fairly new to Linux, and am using Remmina to connect to my windows machines. Works ok, but crashes regularly. I updated it from the Remmina repo but it hasn't fixed the problem. Is there a way i can troubleshoot why its crashing? [10:47] hi, is ioria in there?

[12:53] ioria: i think so [12:53] should i switch on X ?

[13:13] (i tried with ssh foo -C 'ssh bar' without success ) [13:15] A more specific example would help. [13:15] hyperlumic, you want to ssh@myserver1 [13:16] from my server1, you want to ssh to myserver2 [13:16] hyperlumic, how can you do that from one single command ? [13:16] Interactively, or what? [13:17] I get that you're trying to chain SSH sessions, but what is the actual command you're trying to run on server 2? [13:17] hyperlumic, nothing, I just want to get there without having to do ssh 2 times, but having a preconfigured command in my terminal profile to get there :) [13:18] Not going to work. [13:18] Aliekezhi: you can use ProxyCommand in a host entry in .ssh/config [13:18] ssh user@host somecommand assumes that the command isn't interactive. [13:18] sounds a local/remote port forwarding [13:19] hyperlumic, well with ssh myserver1 -C "ssh myserv2" I get an error [13:19] That's my point. [13:19] Though the error would help. [13:20] "mesg: ttyname failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device" [13:20] As expected. [13:20] You're not going to be able to start an interactive ssh session on server 2 that way. [13:21] Aliekezhi: With an entry like this in ~/.ssh/config: http://ix.io/1vnl running ssh bar will ssh to bar.example.com via foo.example.com [13:22] Using netcat? [13:22] That's secure. [13:52] hi guys I have this simple script https://pastebin.com/zMu7vz4q and I would like substitute for cycle with a command 'find' to search inside root folder recursively [13:52] I have write this, but is wrong: find . -type f -name *.txt -exec mv -n "$(date -r "$filename" +"%Y-%m-%d_$filename")" '{}' \; [13:56] gst568923: maybe something for ##linux or #bash ?

Pass it as argument instead. -exec sh -c 'cp "$1" ...' sh {} \; [14:15] hello [14:16] welcome radkos [14:17] how can i generate moderated iops on my hdd [14:17] lets say i want to make 10% per process, and if i start three similar processes simultaneously i can get 30% [14:19] whatever bash script i made hdd cache comes across and @$!>?!# [14:20] any idea haw can i make this process constant going around the hdd caching . some kind of /dev/urandom magic or else?

[14:39] I use keepassxc on all platforms [14:40] im trying to add some patches to the kernel. the page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel recommends getting the kernel sources with `apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r)` - but it doesn't say anything about where the source is located, apparently. [14:40] asdfgh: if you're ok with something remote, I've been happy with lastpass [14:40] where is the source located after running apt-get source? [14:41] hans_henrik: whatever directory you were in [14:41] so if you were in /tmp/ it'd download the files and unzip to folders within /tmp./ [14:41] hans_henrik: type pwd [14:41] it'll give you a file directory path, if you didn't change dirs after you rant he command it's in that directory [14:41] ran the apt-get source command* [14:42] teward: the directory where you ran it [14:42] apt doesn't track source, it just downloads it to wherever you run the command [14:42] Cheez: you mean to tell that to hans_henrik not me :P [14:42] ^ that [14:42] sorry [14:42] which is what i said [14:42] oh lel, nvm. thanks [14:45] uhm, > Picking 'linux-signed' as source package instead of 'linux-image-4.15.0-42-generic' [14:45] and the download went way too fast [14:46] somehow `apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r)` doesn't get me the kernel source, i think. [14:50] hans_henrik: apt-get source linux [14:51] though, that won't get the current version. Not sure [14:51] leftyfb: looks like it worked [14:51] hans_henrik: That will download only the GA kernel I think [14:52] GA? i'm not using a HWE kernel anyway [14:52] what's GA? [14:53] The kernel that got released when your version of ubuntu was released [14:53] anyway, i'm running 4.15.0-42-generic , and "apt-get source linux" is downloading "4.15.0-42.45", so it can't be that far off [14:53] #1 is according to uname -a [14:54] which version of ubuntu are you running? [14:54] VERSION="18.04.1 LTS (Bionic Beaver)" [14:56] hans_henrik: why do you think you need to compile your own kernel? [14:57] leftyfb: because an aircrack-ng tutorial is telling me to install this patch https://git.kali.org/gitweb/?p=packages/linux.git;a=blob_plain;f=debian/patches/features/all/kali-wifi-injection.patch;hb=refs/heads/kali/master in my kernel [14:58] * leftyfb sigh [14:58] ( this 1 to be specific https://www.aircrack-ng.org/~~V:/doku.php?id=install_drivers ) [14:58] supposedly enables raw monitor mode for wifi drivers [15:02] hans_henrik: sudo iw list|grep -A10 "Supported interface" [15:02] if you see "monitor" in the list, then you are able to put your wifi card into promiscuous mode. No kernel compiling needed [15:02] leftyfb: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/6dMpNcPwCN/ [15:03] i do see monitor mode there [15:03] hans_henrik: what is your end goal here? [15:04] leftyfb: record someone signing in to a WPA2-PSK encrypted wifi network, so i can run an offline dictionary attack on the WPA2 password? [15:04] hans_henrik: why? [15:05] leftyfb: sorry, i don't want to discuss why i'm doing this. [15:06] hans_henrik: then you should not be asking for help with it here. We do not condone such activities. Please stop what you are doing. [15:08] hans_henrik: there's a ##kernel channel if you need [15:08] i won't ask for help with WPA2 here, i merely wanted help with getting the kernel source. [15:08] hans_henrik: you will no longer receive help me from after knowing your intentions are malicious in nature. I'm sure others here will also cease to assist you in your goals for the same reason [15:09] "help from me" [15:09] right, feel free to /ignore [15:11] hans_henrik: I'll be sure to also point out your intentions to anyone assisting you. To make sure they know they are contributing to malicious activities. [15:18] for the record, secrecy does not imply malice. [15:18] hans_henrik: yup [15:20] hans_henrik: If you aren't willing to divulge your reasoning behind something that is otherwise quite possibly illegal without the consent of the monitored party, do not expect a positive response. [15:25] i'm not doing anything illegal, and the monitored party is my own phone. [15:27] hans_henrik, then 1) you should have said that instead of "someone" and 2) Why? [16:17] anyone running ubuntu on a dell 17 7000? [16:18] perplexity: that isn't your question [16:18] perplexity: what can we help you with? [16:19] leftyfb: surely it is. im having difficulty install debian on my new laptop as the firmware for my network card is not in any existing deb release. so im wondering if anyone has had success installing ubuntu on it [16:19] perplexity: try it [16:19] perplexity: try booting a live cd/sub [16:19] usb* [16:19] leftyfb: good answer [16:19] your right, will do [16:36] Hey everyone... I did do-release-upgrade from bionic to cosmic and it got an error setting up udev... and crashed and I removed the udev post instalation script and it tried to configure the rest of the packages... and i got a lot of errors... then i dpkg --configured them all and autoremoved un-necessary packages... now when i login i get profile permission errors and preety unstable distro.. what shall I do? [16:37] It's really messed up [16:38] Dave_Elec: Restore your backup, make sure you do not have any third party PPAs enabled when you try again [16:47] pragmaticenigma: I didn't make one [16:47] uhm... that's a tough one then [16:47] :( [16:48] Dave_Elec: make a backup of your files you have on the machine now using a live usb. Then install 18.04 from scratch [16:48] Dave_Elec: I wouldn't recommend going with 18.10. Stick with 18.04 [16:48] But that's just my opinion [16:49] or install 18.10 from scratch if that's what you really want [16:53] So no going back? [16:53] Dave_Elec: it's not worth the time it would take [16:54] Hey there. I am in Grub Rescue on a Latin American keyboard, and I can't make an equals sign [16:55] like, it puts keys as though Im on a US keyboard [16:55] so shift 9 is open parens instead of close [16:55] but I cant do equals sign === mkv is now known as m4v [16:55] hc027: the equal sign is 2 keys to the right of 0 [16:56] hc027: no shift needed [16:56] hc027: if you have access to a browser, google "us keyboard layout", that should show you roughly where keys are [16:57] THANK YOU roadmr!!!! [16:58] THANKS!
