[00:41] <Tjalling> Hello. I've been running Ubuntu in a VBox for a while now, and it's been mostly fine, but after a while it really slows down. Could someone help diagnose this problem? I know this kinda intersects VirtualBox and Ubuntu, but I was hoping I'd find the experts here.
[00:42] <Tjalling> 3D acceleration is on, I've given it 6GB ram, 4 out of my 12 threads
[01:08] <creamme> I have a fresh install of 18.04 that I want to be a router.  I setup a static IP, installed dhclient and radvd, but I don't have nat working and dhclient isn't configured to send the block to radvd
[01:08] <creamme> does anyone know of a tutorial for this?
[01:11] <creamme> a lot has changed since my last fresh install, the firewall is easier to configure; but the network cards have long names that I don't understand.  What happened to eth?
[01:12] <ryuo> creamme: it sounds like you've been away awhile. do you need assistance in PM?
[01:12] <ducasse> !pm
[01:13] <creamme> okay, what happened to eth naming convention?
[01:13] <ryuo> funny how they do that instead of actually answering... heh
[01:14] <ryuo> creamme: systemd changes to udev. all network interfaces now use a new naming convention based on the hardware connectivity.
[01:14] <ducasse> creamme: it's called persistent device naming, but you can pass a kernel parameter to get the old naming
[01:14] <ducasse> creamme: better get used to the new scheme, though
[01:15] <ryuo> creamme: or, alternatively, define systemd.link type files to map the interfaces to names you prefer.
[01:15] <creamme> ducasse, I will.
[01:15] <ryuo> i used it to give helpful aliases to special purpose ethernet ports before.
[01:15] <ryuo> wan vs lan, etc.
[01:16] <OerHeks> pretty up2date, but not with radvd https://www.ascinc.com/blog/linux/how-to-build-a-simple-router-with-ubuntu-server-18-04-1-lts-bionic-beaver/
[01:16] <creamme> as for my other question: any tutorial for getting ipv6 working with a block assigned via dhcp
[01:16] <ryuo> creamme: radvd afaik only works for static leases. if your subnet is dynamically allocated through DHCPv6, you'll need to figure something else out.
[01:17] <ryuo> creamme: though, if you don't mind openwrt, it does all this stuff out of the box.
[01:17] <creamme> :-\ ty... I'll go hunting again
[01:18] <Tjalling> Hello. I've been running Ubuntu in a VBox for a while now, and it's been mostly fine, but after a while it really slows down. Could someone help diagnose this problem? I know this kinda intersects VirtualBox and Ubuntu, but I was hoping I'd find the experts here. 3D acceleration is on, I've given it 6GB ram, 4 out of my 12 threads
[01:18] <ryuo> creamme: perhaps you could try combining dnsmasq's constructor feature.
[01:18] <ryuo> creamme: for managing the LAN subnet.
[01:19] <ryuo> either way, you may want to look around at dhcp client options. networkd has its own client, but not sure how well it works with DHCPv6 PD.
[01:20] <ryuo> Hm. Interesting.
[01:21] <iosecure> creamme: Are you dead-set on Ubuntu?
[01:21] <ryuo> seems networkd supports DHCPv6 PD.
[01:22] <creamme> iosecure: not dead-set, but I want something with a big repository of software
[01:22] <iosecure> creamme: For a firewall?
[01:23] <ryuo> creamme: openwrt has a fair amount of available packages and is heavily optimized for CPE routers, which is likely your use case.
[01:23] <iosecure> creamme: What hardware are you running this on?
[01:23] <ryuo> creamme: i use it on an old x86 box with a custom image i built to use it with LXC.
[01:24] <creamme> intel core 2 quad
[01:24] <iosecure> Standalone box? How much RAM?
[01:24] <ryuo> probably more than really required.
[01:24] <creamme> either 4 or 8 gb, didn't check before I grabbed it from the trash
[01:25] <creamme> can I ssh into openwrt or is it only web interface?
[01:25] <ryuo> No, it comes with both in the stock images.
[01:25] <iosecure> creamme: Consider pfSense.
[01:25] <genii> It has both
[01:25] <ryuo> pfSense is FreeBSD derived.
[01:25] <iosecure> Correct.
[01:26] <ryuo> OpenWRT is an embedded Linux distribution.
[01:26] <ryuo> It uses busybox and is heavily stripped down.
[01:26] <iosecure> And it's built for this exact use case. OpenWRT is also pretty much trash.
[01:26] <ryuo> Whatever you say. It works great for what I'm doing.
[01:26] <iosecure> From a stability and a security perspective, at least. Two areas where a firewall should probably be pretty, uh... robust.
[01:27] <iosecure> Whatever you say. :)
[01:27] <creamme> I think pfsense may be more of what I would like.  I'll do some research on this.  Thanks ryuo and iosecure!
[01:28] <ryuo> creamme: or even OpenBSD, if you're hardcore about security.
[01:28] <slidinghorn> Can anyone tell me where the mate-terminal color scheme is stored?  I want to copy its colors to use them in urxvt and cannot find it to save my life
[01:28] <iosecure> That would still involve manual configuration of all of the services required.
[01:28] <creamme> no, I used openBSD before, and didn't like it (about 14 years ago)
[01:28] <ryuo> creamme: just keep in mind OpenWRT has a lot of supported targets but pfsense is limited to x86-64/amd64. it dropped 32 bit x86.
[01:29] <ryuo> it's how I got a bargain on an old N270 router. :D
[01:29] <iosecure> He's on a core 2 quad.
[01:30] <iosecure> All of which are 64-bit.
[01:30] <ryuo> yes, well, still important to know.
[01:30] <iosecure> Why? He's concerned with a single target platform. OpenWRT's expansive platform support isn't really a relevant point.
[01:31] <ryuo> For future reference?
[01:31] <iosecure> What, did the internet die?
[01:32] <ryuo> No comment.
[01:32] <OerHeks> slidinghorn, according to this post; open dconf-editor Navigate to /org/mate/terminal/profiles/default  The keys you want to look for are background-color, foreground-color, and palette. https://www.reddit.com/r/mate/comments/6u1v4m/setting_mate_terminal_colours/
[01:33] <OerHeks> I hope this works
[01:37] <cybercrypto> slidinghorn: try this link. You may find it useful .     http://bfy.tw/LHnV
[01:38] <energizer> I just installed a package libttspico-utils, how can i see its documentation. It has a cli binary, how can i find out what it's called?
[01:42] <energizer> answer: dpkg -L
[01:46] <xdruppi> hello ubuntu people, is it a bad idea to uninstall Firefox? is it going to break my computor?
[01:46] <xdruppi> legitimately asking.
[01:47] <ducasse> it shouldn't, no
[01:47] <slidinghorn> cybercrypto, 1: Shortened links aren't allowed in here.  2: Telling someone to "just google it" is ridiculously unhelpful  3: I've already done this and obviously didn't get my answer.
[01:47] <xdruppi> thanks ducasse
[01:48] <slidinghorn> cybercrypto, I've been in this channel on and off for over a decade.  I'm very well aware that searching for a solution before asking in here is the preferred method.
[01:53] <cybercrypto> slidinghorn: perfect. The link I sent you has the answer you seek.
[01:56] <ducasse> if you found the answer, why not just post the direct link to that?
[01:58] <xdruppi> sorry for my lack of knowledge, but why using "vim" on CLI doesn't run Vim, yet if I use "vi" it does?, is it an alias? can I remove it?
[01:58] <xdruppi> also ubuntu software says I have Vim installed, yet apt doesnt
[01:58] <cybercrypto> ducasse: Sorry, here is the link. https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/where-does-mate-terminal-save-profiles/8347    no individual files are to be found. You may want to use dconf tool to manipulate stored profile info
[01:59] <cybercrypto> xdruppi: what is the output when you type 'alias' ?
[01:59] <xdruppi> cybercrypto, i wasn't aware of that, thanks, turns out vim is not there
[01:59] <xdruppi> cybercrypto, vi*
[02:00] <cybercrypto> xdruppi: if it is not an alias, perhaps it is a simbolic link.
[02:01] <xdruppi> cybercrypto, it is
[02:01] <xdruppi> not sure what to do though, link goes to /etc/alternatives/vi
[02:03] <cybercrypto> xdruppi: please tell me what is your goal? is to use vi and not vim? or? is there both versions installed or just vim?
[02:06] <cybercrypto> xdruppi: if you have a default ubuntu install, you may ended up with just vi (which is in fact a tiny version of vim.
[02:06] <martypete> Hello everyone, I am out of ideas so I figured I'd come here see if anyone could give me any ideas. I am trying to connect a Logitech MX Master 2s via blue tooth to a laptop running ubuntu bionic. everything is up to date. The issue is that the computer doesnt discover the mouse when it's in discoverable mode. All other devices find the mouse fine,
[02:06] <martypete>  and the linux machine finds all other devices fine. I got no idea where to go from here
[02:06] <cybercrypto> xdruppi: if you want vim, please check if it is installed or not and try it
[02:07] <martypete> so ive tried to rule out the issue both ways but ive got nothing
[02:09] <xdruppi> cybercrypto, my goal is to use vim as my main text editor, runing vi seems to open up Vim (that's what the program says), so im just confused, should I pick up Vim with apt? or should i just run vi?
[02:10] <xdruppi> vim is not installed.
[02:11] <xdruppi> anyways thanks for answering
[02:11] <xdruppi> i guess i'll just apt install vim
[02:12] <pjs> martypete: I have the same mouse working on bionic (using it right now).. I don't remember any issues setting it up. How are you trying to configure it?
[02:12] <martypete> man I was afraid of that. fsck my life
[02:12] <martypete> via bluetooth. it works great with the usb
[02:13] <pjs> martypete: right but I mean, are you using blueman-applet (gui) or what?
[02:13] <martypete> yeah blueman-applet
[02:13] <martypete> it just doesnt find it
[02:13] <martypete> firetv stick finds it, my phone finds it
[02:13] <martypete> and on the flipside
[02:13] <martypete> ubuntu has like 5 other devices working lol
[02:13] <martypete> so im stumped
[02:13] <pjs> martypete: Weird.. one sec
[02:14] <cybercrypto> xdruppi: no problem.
[02:14] <martypete> and ive thrown a few other devices into discoverable at the same time
[02:15] <martypete> they pop right up in blueman
[02:16] <pjs> martypete: try running 'hcidump -at', then launch the add a new device option in blueman. See if there is activity in hcidump related to your mouse
[02:16] <martypete> thanks bro doing that now
[02:17] <martypete> oh and idk if it matters, but im using a logitech bluetooth keyboard on it just fine lol
[02:18] <martypete> command not found
[02:18] <martypete> let me install some shyt
[02:18] <pjs> martypete: my issues were reverse.. mouse was fine, I had a hell of a time getting my logitech K811 paired with my Thinkpad. That's how I learned the hcidump trick lol
[02:19] <martypete> had to run sudo apt get bluez-hcidump
[02:19] <martypete> now it appears to be listening
[02:19] <martypete> now just throw it into discoverable mode?
[02:20] <martypete> yeah still nothing
[02:20] <martypete> you can just see it enable scan and it doesnt find anything
[02:22] <martypete> just makes no sense, my phone sees it fine, along w firetv and windows computers. but its bluetooth. it should either be discoverable or not
[02:24] <pjs> martypete: yea very odd.. sorry man wish I had another idea for you
[02:25] <gambl0re> i cant change the boot order in BIOS. it says to use +/- to switch values but +/- only selects the next/previous boot options. its not switching anything
[02:26] <martypete> on mine I gotta hit f5/f6 to move the device up or down in the order gambl0re
[02:27] <martypete> its alright pjs thanks anyway
[02:27] <gambl0re> martypete, f5/f6 only changes the selection item. it doesnt actually change the order
[02:32] <gambl0re> any other suggestions guys? thanks
[02:36] <OerHeks> ubuntu live iso, gparted, set desired partition as boot
[02:36] <OerHeks> else go into your bios, not the fast key i guess
[02:37] <gambl0re> OerHeks, im trying to boot to live usb!
[02:37] <gambl0re> but i cant change the boot order so it boots from usb first
[02:38] <OerHeks> some bios versions need to set it at 2 places, mine at boot order, and hdd priority
[02:38] <OerHeks> and usb shows up as hdd
[02:39] <gambl0re> OerHeks, ok so i managed to boot into live usb
[02:39] <gambl0re> i want to run fsck on my sdd partition that has ubuntu os
[02:39] <gambl0re> can i run fsck on it now?
[02:40] <OerHeks> yes, as it is not mounted
[02:40] <gambl0re> how can i verify that its not mounted
[02:40] <OerHeks> mount # will tell, at the end
[02:41] <gambl0re> i type 'mount #' ?
[02:42] <OerHeks> well, the command ends before #
[02:42] <OerHeks> the rest is comment, not harmfull to copy
[02:42] <gambl0re> i see a wall of output,  what am i looking for?
[02:43] <OerHeks> at the end, is there sda ?
[02:43] <gambl0re> no
[02:43] <gambl0re> tmpfs on /run/user/999 type tmpfs (......)
[02:43] <OerHeks> then you are fine, you might see the partitions in filebrowser too, in live mode, don't click them  :-D
[02:44] <gambl0re> is there a command to see unmounted partitions
[02:44] <OerHeks> oke, fsck.ext4 -p /dev/sdaX https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilesystemTroubleshooting
[02:44] <gambl0re> was that for me?
[02:46] <OerHeks> lsblk gives mounted only
[02:46] <OerHeks> yes, see the manual
[02:54] <xdruppi> i've installed something with pip, and i want to use it, however it is not in bash path, i don't want to use sudo with pip, should i just make an alias? or add it to path?
[02:58] <OerHeks> yes, iirc ~/.local/bin is not in your path standard
[02:59] <CarlFK> xdruppi: mkdir ~/bin
[02:59] <OerHeks> or fix this with  pip fix-user-path to have pip automatically add tihs to their ~/.profile  https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/3813
[03:00] <CarlFK> xdruppi: that will get added to your path
[03:00] <xdruppi> CarlFK, i dont get it
[03:03] <CarlFK> xdruppi: I put symlinks to things I want on my path
[03:03] <CarlFK> xdruppi: maybe ln -s ~/.local/bin
[03:04] <xdruppi> CarlFK, i understand that, however, isnt mkdir just making a directory?
[03:05] <CarlFK> xdruppi: yes, but there is code that will add it to your path if it exists
[03:07] <OerHeks> There is no Smocking Gun. Good.
[03:07] <OerHeks> oops
[03:25] <xdruppi> ok sorry for bringing this up again, but i installed something with pip3, and it seems it is not included in my path, however after looking up a few things, .profile seems to include $HOME/.local/bin on path if it exists, am i wrong here?
[03:37] <sam_wong> Attempts to install Kpackage on Ubuntu failed this morning. I just wonder if Kpackage on Ubuntu is feasible?
[03:55] <OerHeks> !find kpackage
[03:55] <OerHeks> it is part of kpackagetool5 i guess
[03:58] <sam_wong> Is kpackagetool5 same as kpackage?
[04:00] <OerHeks> yes, it is part of ~
[04:02] <sabrehagen> I don't understand what is happening with the arguments to tar here:
[04:02] <sabrehagen> tar Ccf $(dirname SRC_PATH) - $(basename SRC_PATH) | docker exec -i CONTAINER tar Cxf DEST_PATH -
[04:02] <sabrehagen> the "$(dirname SRC_PATH) - $(basename SRC_PATH)" part
[04:02] <sabrehagen> From this link: https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/cp/
[04:03] <sabrehagen> man isn't helping :(
[04:03] <Kumool> go to #bash
[04:06] <Kumool> sabrehagen: i have no clue either, SRC_PATH is supposed to be a variable, but instead it just says SRC_PATH?
[04:08] <sabrehagen> yeah, doc writer didn't do a great job
[04:27] <sam_wong> OerHeks: Is kpackagetool5 a graphical tool or a command tool?
[04:32] <Kumool> ok, i havent messed with tar in a while sabrehagen, but i think its doing a {cd $(dirname srcpath);compress $SRC_PATH | docker stuff}
[04:34] <Kumool> aw
[04:34] <Kumool> left
[04:35] <OerHeks> " kpackagetool5 is a command line tool to install, list, remove Plasma packages."
[04:38] <sam_wong> OerHeks: thanks
[05:01] <b0bby|> is it possible to extract a partially complete file that is inside an uncompressed zip file?
[05:02] <XATRIX> HI, can you advice, what's this warnings about ? https://pastebin.com/af2wr9Lv
[05:03] <XATRIX> and yeap, i have google repository enabled, and installed google-chrome-unstable
[05:05] <Kumool> b0bby|: yes
[05:05] <b0bby|> Kumool: how?
[05:05] <XATRIX> I have only one line:
[05:05] <XATRIX> deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main
[05:06] <XATRIX> in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome-unstable.list
[05:06] <b0bby|> Kumool: I just get an error message
[05:06] <Kumool> b0bby|: unzip -c file > file
[05:06] <Kumool> i think
[05:06] <XATRIX> crap, i found the issue
[05:07] <Kumool> XATRIX: why crap? sonuds great!
[05:07] <XATRIX> yea ) it is
[05:08] <b0bby|> Kumool: End-of-central-directory signature not found.  Either this file is not
[05:08] <b0bby|>   a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive.  In the
[05:08] <b0bby|>   latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
[05:08] <b0bby|>   the last disk(s) of this archive.
[05:13] <XATRIX> One more question, can you advice what's with my dependencies, https://pastebin.com/YFHrn3CH ?
[05:13] <XATRIX> what apt means, it's not gonna be installed
[05:15] <Kumool> b0bby|: use zcat
[05:15] <Kumool> b0bby|: zcat file > file
[05:15] <OerHeks> run properly sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade
[05:16] <Kumool> b0bby|: if its just one file, if it contains a directory listing, it will be weird
[05:16] <XATRIX> I did it, it doesn't solve the issue
[05:16] <XATRIX> the same messages i get
[05:17] <b0bby|> Kumool: gtg thanks for the help
[05:19] <Kumool> better option would be to run a vm and install chrome there XATRIX
[05:19] <Kumool> in windows
[05:20] <XATRIX> Kumool: what ? i didn't get the idea
[05:20] <OerHeks> XATRIX, if you have a stable and unstable list, remove unstable
[05:21] <XATRIX> OerHeks: my stable version gives me Segfault Core dumped, but unstable works
[05:24] <OerHeks> so you have 2 lists, 1 gives problems, and you can only have 1., i would remove the unstable; sudo apt-get install google-chrome-unstable from the same stable repo gives the unstable version
[05:30] <XATRIX> How can i find a proper ppa, which has a needed package?
[05:31] <XATRIX> is there any software which can look a PPAs for ?
[05:33] <slidinghorn> XATRIX, what is the actual package you're looking for?
[05:35] <XATRIX> teamviewer, telegram
[05:35] <slidinghorn> XATRIX, any reason snaps aren't an option?
[05:37] <slidinghorn> (at least for telegram...I don't think there is a snap for teamviewer, currently.  However, there is a .deb package available on their website)
[05:39] <Kumool>  you also dont need a snap for telegram, you can download it directly and it updates from telegram as well, so you're not gonna run into troubles
[05:41] <XATRIX> i'd like to install a TW from the apt, because i won't bother about updates, i won't need to download .deb every time to update
[05:41] <Kumool> except for the menu entry, which you can make in 5 minutes instead
[05:42] <Kumool> https://desktop.telegram.org/
[05:42] <OerHeks> snaps update themselfs
[05:49] <sere_> i lost write access on my exfat drive when i installed windows. im asking here because i believe my recent install caused this because everything was fine before and i when linux mounts it.. it locks it or something
[05:56] <sere_> i installed ubuntu over windows sorry
[06:29] <lotuspsychje> im getting this bug on 18.04.1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1807818 any ideas what to test more?
[06:43] <Iolo> lotuspsychje, does it happen consistently after recovering from suspend?
[06:45] <lotuspsychje> Iolo: i did not test it yet after a suspend
[06:45] <lotuspsychje> Iolo: my scenario is, it happens 'sometimes' on a boot
[06:46] <lotuspsychje> and if i reboot now its gone again
[06:54] <XATRIX> Guys, i need your help a bit. I have an issue with my local ubuntu's dns resolver
[06:54] <XATRIX> Let me show you a pastie
[07:01] <XATRIX> https://pastebin.com/Dm4zib7Z
[07:02] <XATRIX> something's going wrong with my resolver
[07:12] <Mr_Pan> hi, what is used to get an analysis/statistics of the spam blocked by amavis ? I would like to get a list of blocked sender and so on ...
[07:15] <XATRIX> Any idea on how to fix my resolver ?
[07:43] <Randolf> So, I've got OpenSSL 1.1.1 working on Ubuntu 18.10, but Apache HTTPd doesn't have support for the "TLSv1.3" option yet.  It seems that Apache HTTPd is 0.0.02 versions behind.
[07:46] <Mr_Pan> hi, what is used to get an analysis/statistics of the spam blocked by amavis ? I would like to get a list of blocked sender and so on ...
[07:46] <Randolf> That is, I can get Apache HTTPd v2.4.34 from apt, but I need v2.4.36.
[07:48] <ducasse> Randolf: you can file a bug and ask for a backport or !sru. you might just be told it will be available in 19.04, though.
[07:54] <slidinghorn> Randolf, in addition to what ducasse said: If you *absolutely cannot* live without it, there is a PPA (https://lauchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/ubuntu/apache2).  However, PPAs are unsupported 3rd party software and you use them at your own risk
[08:02] <ducasse> Randolf: a ppa is an option, but if you get an sru you will be running a supported web server and get timely security patches
[08:06] <tchakatak> Hello. I was wondering if some of you use ubuntu on a macbookpro 11,3 (retina 15 with 750gt) or tryed, and if they had any issues ?
[08:07] <lotuspsychje> tchakatak: i recently tested 18.04.1 on a macbook with success, everything worked
[08:07] <lotuspsychje> tchakatak: think it was a mid 2006
[08:08] <lotuspsychje> tchakatak: i suggest trying a liveusb on it to test if everything works
[08:11] <Kon-> The internet is giving me conflicting information on this - is the Realtek RTL8111H ethernet controller supported out of the box on Ubuntu 18.04, or does it have to be downloaded from the universe repository?
[08:12] <lotuspsychje> Kon-: realtek chipsets are very picky on kernel versions, is your system up to date?
[08:12] <Kon-> I'm building a new system and plan to install 18.04.1 with whichever 4.15 update that ships with
[08:13] <Kon-> From the ISO
[08:13] <lotuspsychje> Kon-: current kernel is 4.15 -42 and my realtek works here, but we cant generalize all realtek chipsets
[08:15] <Kon-> Which Realtek ethernet controller do you have, specifically?
[08:15] <tchakatak> lotuspsychje: ok. This one is a 2013 with hidpi screen and everything.
[08:15] <Kon-> Or if you know your motherboard I could just look it up
[08:16] <lotuspsychje> Kon-: product: RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller
[08:16] <tchakatak> Just wanted to know support wise how is it going on it.
[08:16] <lotuspsychje> tchakatak: i had good experiences mate :p
[08:16] <Kon-> Seems the system detection is slightly vague, but thanks
[08:16] <tchakatak> Ok.
[08:17] <lotuspsychje> Kon-: driver=r8169
[08:17] <tchakatak> I will try then
[08:17] <Kon-> Ah, you have the proprietary driver installed
[08:17] <lotuspsychje> tchakatak: try a live with mac button + f or so
[08:18] <tchakatak> I will do.
[08:18] <Kon-> Can Ubuntu packages be installed from a .deb? In case something goes wrong, I might just pull the proprietary driver from my current machine and stick it on my USB boot image
[08:18] <tchakatak> Kon-: a .deb is a package.
[08:19] <tchakatak> Take a look at dpkg -i
[08:19] <lotuspsychje> Kon-: driver modules, should be loaded automaticly
[08:20] <lotuspsychje> Kon-: if not, kernel issues in the logs
[08:21] <ducasse> Kon-: or just do yourself a favor and buy an intel nic
[08:22] <Kon-> ducasse, I would, but it seems that literally every motherboard for the B450 chipset has this same Realtek device
[08:22] <ducasse> but it has pcie slots, no?
[08:23] <tchakatak> I use a realtek chip and it works perfectly
[08:23] <tchakatak> but i had problems with the canonical 4.15 kernel and stability
[08:24] <Kon-> I'm guessing it probably will work fine. But you see a handful of people on the internet reporting problems and then plan for the worst case scenario
[08:25] <Kon-> ducasse, I consider buying an expansion card for Ethernet to be a pretty drastic step. I'd rather just bring over the source package and compile the driver myself before I go to that extreme
[08:26] <tchakatak> Kon-: try 4.19 kernel
[08:26] <tchakatak> realtek support is really better in there
[08:27] <Kon-> That's another option if I run into problems. Might have that ready on my install media too, thanks
[08:48] <Randolf> ducasse and slidinghorn:  Thank you.  One of the important features of OpenSSL 1.1.1 is the addition of TLS v1.3 support, and so it seems counter-intuitive to me that Apache HTTPd wasn't updated with it.  For now, I can live without it, and so I can avoid the PPAs for now.
[08:48] <Randolf> My preference is to take everything through "apt" without relying on PPAs.
[08:50] <Randolf> One of the reasons I upgraded from 18.04 to 18.10 was to get TLS v1.3 support.  It seems now that this was a wasted effort.  :(
[08:51] <Randolf> I understand that the move to OpenSSL 1.1.1 was a major change, and so upgrading from 18.04 to 18.10 seemed quite reasonable.  I'm surprised about the minor update to Apache HTTPd though.

[09:36] <kaddi> hi, I could use some help trying to mount an img file and access the files within. I'm able to open the file with testdisk. It says that the partition consists of a ext3 blocksize=4096 Large_file Sparse_SB format. However the partition table apparently includes an extended partition: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/P5cs6ySMtg/
[09:37] <kaddi> I've tried mounting the file with the following commands:  sudo mount good-copy.dat /media/myrti/windows/ -t ext3 -o loop,ro,offset=2048 and  sudo mount good-copy.dat /media/myrti/windows/ -t ext3 -o loop,ro but always receive this error message: mount: /media/myrti/windows: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.
[09:37] <kaddi> what am I missing?
[09:40] <neure> hi
[09:40] <neure> how do i reset bluetooth?
[09:41] <ChristianS> hi all, since a week or so i can no longer log in using gnome on 18.04 lts. my background image appears shortly, then i'm back at the login prompt. same happens when i try to log in using "ubuntu [i.e. gnome] on wayland". login using unity works.
[09:41] <ChristianS> any suggestions? i tried checking .xsession-errors and /var/log/Xorg.0.log but there is lots of stuff in there and nothing that seems immediately relevant.
[09:53] <EriC^^> neure: sudo service bluetooth restart maybe?
[09:54] <EriC^^> ChristianS: can you pastebin the Xorg log?

[10:27] <prof2004> hi, I am back here with the problem, that gdm3 is not working
[10:28] <prof2004> I have got a solution from ioria, switching to lightdm
[10:28] <prof2004> which is working well
[10:28] <prof2004> after some homekeeping, I have made the switch back, but the same result
[10:29] <prof2004> so after beeing back to lightdm, I have investigated a little bit and have found the following bug, which seams very similar to mine
[10:29] <prof2004> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1779476
[10:31] <prof2004> there is a solution in #57, to delete /var/lib/gdm3/*.... the question here is, can I destroy something, when I try this in my system?
[10:36] <ChristianS> hmm, EriC^^ has left :(
[10:36] <prof2004> anyone an answer to my question?
[10:48] <prof2004> ?
[10:53] <ChristianS> EriC^^: you want to see the Xorg log from startx xterm? (i must admit that i cannot really see how that could be relevant, considering that it's gnome which isn't starting properly.)
[11:12] <heeen> can someone help me see whats wrong here http://termbin.com/3axfg
[11:17] <ppf> heeen: you have package sources providing contradicting dependencies
[11:18] <ppf> probably some ppa or something
[11:23] <ChristianS> looks like i solved the gnome-not-starting problem my moving all my gnome config files away. somewhat annoying though, since now i have to reconfigure :(

[12:12] <sineastris> I just tcpdumped my ethernet interface, and noticed that NetworkManager is doing an HTTP proto connectivity check via connectivity-check.ubuntu.com, this is all well and good - but it's not routing over my VPN, like all the rest of my traffic (on tun0) - What's going on here ?
[12:12] <sineastris> ^ 18.10
[12:13] <tchakatak> sineastris: A part of the system wich is testing to see if you have connectivity with internet.
[12:14] <sineastris> tchakatak: But why is it not over my VPN tun0 ? There is no exception in the routing table for it.
[12:14] <tchakatak> I would say, because its not supposed to be routed via tun0
[12:14] <tchakatak> and it dont depend of network-manager
[12:15] <sineastris> Everything should be routed via tun0, other than local subnet. I'm a little alarmed.
[12:15] <tchakatak> Its not :)
[12:16] <sineastris> Can you explain why this is ?
[12:29] <BluesKaj> Howdy all
[12:49] <sineastris> The connection I mentioned was caused by "Connectivity Checking" under Privacy Settings in the Control Panel. Disabling it has resolved the problem.
[12:50] <sineastris> The route bypass, it used for captive portal checking.

[14:05] <strixdio> I have ubuntu 18.10 installed on nvme drive, and then I also installed on a USB drive. I was very specific to install grub to USB drive during the install process, but now my nvme just boots to a basic grub prompt. to reinstall grub, is it just to the nvme device or a specific partition on it?
[14:06] <z0ran> does anyone found solution how to install vmware workstation pro 14 on ubuntu 18.04...I tried but "virtual machine monitor" keep failing

[14:08] <amikot40> Hi Everyone :)
[14:11] <amikot40> I have question about updating grub on my linux-server that is running on encrypted LVM partition. I held the upgrade because some years before I did upgrade, and server didn't boot after that, so now I'm afraid everytime when new grub is released. I know that it is asking for something while upgrade that I was nor prepared to answer and I choosed wrong anwer.
[14:12] <amikot40> IMHO so essential packages should be prompted before update, if we really want to update them.
[14:42] <cdal> hey all, my HDMI suddenly stopped working today :(
[14:43] <pragmaticenigma> cdal: What was the last thing you did? Install Updates, Move the computer, Bump the monitor, swap cables? Need more information, also need things link Ubuntu version, graphics card, and other vital system information
[14:43] <cdal> i came into office and plugged it in like usual - the external monitor got like glitchy - and then my computer seemed to become unresponsive, so i hard-restarted. and now it will not work
[14:44] <cdal> pragmaticenigma: sure. i recently tried out Kubuntu, so i installed the kubuntu packages, hated it and uninstalled them and reinstalled gnome. i think i made it back to gnome and through a reboot cycle without this issue surfacing, though. but just in case it's worth mentioning.
[14:45] <cdal> updates: i do not believe i made updates since the last reboot cycle (which would have been before yesterday). however, i could be wrong.
[14:46] <cdal> system details: ubuntu 18.04.1. Graphics card is Geoforce MX150 - i am fairly certain i installed some proprietary nvidia driver myself, but i'll double check in a second (in any case that would have been weeks ago)
[14:47] <cdal> what _is_ notable: usually, at work i plug in my HDMI and close my laptop (its design allows this not to be bad for heat escape), and just use my external display as my primary display. however yesterday i was working on a complicated task, and opened my laptop. further, at that time, in gnome settings, i configured my _external_ display to be my _primary_ display
[14:48] <cdal> this gave me no problems yesterday and had the desired effects. then i went home and continued some work on my laptop alone, and that worked fine too.
[14:49] <cdal> but i think i may have effed it up by specifying my external as my primary, then ripping it? idk
[14:50] <cdal> i just did an apt update and upgrade, and a reboot, nothing.
[14:51] <lotuspsychje> cdal: did you try the Fn + F7 (or screen switch combo)?
[14:52] <cdal> lotuspsychje: im not familiar with this. but cliking fn+f7 just now has no affect
[14:53] <lotuspsychje> cdal: you see this kind of F-button with a screen on it?
[14:53] <lotuspsychje> depends on the brand of the laptop
[14:54] <cdal> there's a button - f8 - with a big (vertically tall) rectangle, and two smaller rectangles on both sides of it. pressing it with or without f8 has no affect
[14:54] <cdal> *with or without fn
[14:54] <lotuspsychje> cdal: is your hdmi currently connected?
[14:54] <cdal> yes
[14:55] <cdal> to troubleshoot, i tried connecting to a coworker's monitor and HDMI cord as well - same results
[14:55] <lotuspsychje> cdal: can you tail -f /var/log/syslog and plug out and back in hmdi cable please?
[14:55] <cdal> sure
[14:55] <lotuspsychje> cdal: maybe also open your systemsettings/screen section to see whats happening
[14:56] <cdal> lotuspsychje: the tail produced absolutely no output on unplug/plug
[14:56] <cdal> settings/screen just shows settings for my built-in display
[14:56] <lotuspsychje> hmm thats weird
[14:57] <lotuspsychje> cdal: check sudo lshw -C video to see if your driver= at bottom is loaded?
[14:58] <cdal> eh, under the configuration field? i have two entries for *-display: a VGA compat controller and a 3D controller. the first is configuration: driver=i915, the second is driver=nvidia.
[14:59] <lotuspsychje> cdal: you know wich driver version you have installed?
[15:00] <cdal> i do not. is there an easy way to find out?
[15:00] <cdal> apt list | grep nvidia matches an ample number of packages
[15:00] <lotuspsychje> cdal: or ubuntu-drivers list or software&updates tab drivers
[15:01] <cdal> i have 4 entries for nvidia-driver-n where n is 410, 415, 390, and 396
[15:02] <lotuspsychje> cdal: your card is also an optimus, did you enable performance mode in nvidia-settings?
[15:02] <cdal> *and from software&updates tab i have that im using the 390 driver
[15:03] <lotuspsychje> cdal: allright tnx
[15:03] <cdal> i dont remember explicitely changing anything in nvidia-settings
[15:04] <cdal> where in here would i check for this?
[15:06] <cdal> under PRIME profiles, i have opted to use NVIDIA as opposed to Intel
[15:06] <lotuspsychje> cdal: yeah that looks correct
[15:06] <lotuspsychje> cdal: have you tryed settings external display as primary?
[15:07] <cdal> in my settings, it does not even think i have an external display
[15:07] <cdal> i cant access any settings for it
[15:07] <cdal> just as if i opened arandr and clicked the outputs menu, the HDMI option would be grayed out as if i didnt have an HDMI connected
[15:07] <lotuspsychje> cdal: ok, can you test a previous kernel please?
[15:07] <cdal> sure, how do i do this?
[15:08] <lotuspsychje> cdal: hold shift before boot to enter grub, and choose another kernel
[15:08] <cdal> oh hahahaha
[15:08] <cdal> ok thanks, brb
[15:08] <lotuspsychje> cdal: not the recovery one
[15:08] <cdal> roger
[15:08] <lotuspsychje> kk gl
[15:11] <cdal> ok im booted into 4.15.0-39
[15:11] <cdal> no change
[15:11] <lotuspsychje> cdal: allright, tnx for testing
[15:11] <pragmaticenigma> I suspect more that the issue is less kernel related and more having defined a monitor profile
[15:12] <lotuspsychje> cdal: i found a bug on the 3
[15:12] <lotuspsychje> 390
[15:12] <lotuspsychje> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libxrandr/+bug/1771185
[15:12] <pragmaticenigma> cdal: are you currently in KDE or Gnome desktop?
[15:12] <cdal> pragmaticenigma: gnome, KDE stuff should be all `apt purge`d
[15:13] <cdal> lotuspsychje: reading that link
[15:13] <pragmaticenigma> bummer... I have had strange issues with KDE, where the solution was that somehow the two displays got overlayed on one another. So it treated the combined displays as one monitor
[15:14] <pragmaticenigma> the solution for me was to use KDE's monitor tool and drag the two screens apart
[15:14] <cdal> i wish it was that simple for me with arandr, a tool that sounds similar to what you're describing
[15:15] <tchakatak> cdal do you use any external gpu ?
[15:15] <cdal> external gpu? the only gpu i use is the one already inside my laptop
[15:15] <tchakatak> Ok. Nvidia ? Ati ?
[15:16] <cdal> nvidia
[15:16] <tchakatak> Do you have the drivers installed ?
[15:16] <cdal> yes
[15:16] <tchakatak> Wich one ?
[15:16] <lotuspsychje> the 390 in performance mode
[15:16] <lotuspsychje> optimus card
[15:17] <cdal> lotuspsychje: i guess, i should try changing to a different one of the drivers i have installed?
[15:17] <lotuspsychje> cdal: as a test you could try that
[15:17] <tchakatak> cadl i dont use your config, but i would try that
[15:18] <lotuspsychje> cdal: how come you have so much drivers in your list, did you add a ppa?
[15:18] <cdal> great question, i probably did something stupid when i first got the machine
[15:18] <lotuspsychje> cdal: depends wich ppa, can you recall?
[15:19] <lotuspsychje> ubuntu graphics ppa?
[15:19] <cdal> no. the only time i think i would have done this was when i was messing aroudn with nvidia proprietary drivers, in a hope that they'd calm the lagginess of gnome
[15:19] <cdal> god, gnome is just, not performant.
[15:20] <lotuspsychje> cdal: you could check your sources.list to see wich ppa
[15:20] <R13ose> I am getting this error "the video playback was aborted due to a corruption problem or because the video used features your browser did not support" in opera.  How do I fix this so I can play videos?

[15:21] <pragmaticenigma> R13ose: Use Firefox. We don't support Opera here
[15:21] <lotuspsychje> we do pragmaticenigma , the opera snap :p

[15:24] <cdal> eesh. maybe I’ll just do a fresh install tonight after work
[15:25] <lotuspsychje> cdal: was your system an lts upgrade?
[15:26] <lotuspsychje> cdal: another test could be, trying hdmi on a liveusb
[15:28] <cdal> lotuspsychje: oh live usb test is a good idea. and my system was a fresh lts install
[15:28] <lotuspsychje> cdal: so driver switch and liveusb test you can try
[15:35] <cdal> should i reboot after driver switch?
[15:36] <lotuspsychje> cdal: yes plz
[15:51] <cdal> live cd works
[15:51] <cdal> might just do a fresh install
[15:52] <cdal> wouldnt mind it anyways - feel like my misadventures in kde left some unused bloat on my system
[15:52] <lotuspsychje> cdal: perhaps the kde vs gnome story scrambled it?
[15:53] <cdal> that's my best guess, though i _thought_ i'd done a successful reboot cycle and used HDMI no problem after that story. oh well
[15:55] <cdal> lmfao. i just rebooted into my actual installation, and my HDMI started working
[15:55] <cdal> i'm guessing it was changing the display drivers and rebooting that did it..
[15:56] <cdal> so maybe my bug is the one you found on launchpad for 390.
[15:59] <lotuspsychje> cdal: add yourself affected, and tell your story to the bug plz
[15:59] <lotuspsychje> and glad you sorted it cdal
[16:01] <cdal> more like stumbled onto a somehow working state right after having given up, but yeah im glad it's sorted too hahaha. thanks for helping.
[16:02] <cdal> ill put myself in the thread
[16:16] <got_me_an_irc> hello all. so I have a binary here that I can run, but it's not in `which`. any ideas?
[16:16] <got_me_an_irc> e.g. `executable` -> it works. `which executable` -> no output.
[16:19] <hggdh> got_me_an_irc: 'which' searches $PATH
[16:19] <got_me_an_irc> right; but if it's not in $PATH, or aliases, where could it be? a bash function? i'm a bit stuck
[16:20] <got_me_an_irc> ah it's a script that's set a function. doh.
[17:09] <sere_> i installed ubuntu over windows and now in windows my external drive which is exfat has no write access.. i believe ubuntu caused this because it was fine before.. any ideas on how to fix this? it works fine in ubuntu

[17:19] <ioria> scwizard, you can disable it if you want
[17:19] <scwizard> when I do "back up now" I get "permission denied"

[17:20] <scwizard> on what it tried to access that it wasn't able to
[17:21] <scwizard> my backup storage location is set to google drive
[17:21] <scwizard> oh apparently you can do: DEJA_DUP_DEBUG=1 deja-dup --backup
[17:21] <scwizard> oh... that doesn't give me any output :(
[17:22] <scwizard> "Déjà Dup is really just a clever graphical wrapper around the command line backup tool duplicity" oh...
[17:23] <scwizard> is there any way to see the duplicity command deja-dup is calling?
[17:24] <pragmaticenigma> scwizard: not directly, as it would depend on the setting defined in deja-dup
[17:25] <scwizard> pragmaticenigma: well, needless to say such a feature would be useful for debugging purposes :(
[17:25] <scwizard> just gonna remove deja dup since it doesn't seem well maintained tbh
[17:26] <pragmaticenigma> scwizard: It might be found in /var/logs somewhere
[17:26] <scwizard> i'm pretty sure I can just use duplicity
[17:27] <scwizard> there's no point in a cli wrapper if it's hastily thrown together, and gives "permission denied" without saying to do what
[17:28] <pragmaticenigma> scwizard: Could be how your specific system is configured, and in general usage the error would be encountered. I have several directories in my home folder that most applications through errors on if the look in them
[17:29] <pragmaticenigma> *wouldn't be encountered (can't type today)

[17:42] <pragmaticenigma> !paste | rasmalabar
[17:42] <ioria> rasmalabar, apt-cache policy openssh-sftp-server  | pastebinit
[17:44] <kinghat> so unit193 should be trusted?
[17:44] <pragmaticenigma> only you can decide for yourself what you trust kinghat
[17:44] <rasmalabar> @ioria: Sorry, output of apt-cache policy openssh-sftp-server at https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/ftyCbsg96H/
[17:44] <kinghat> sure
[17:45] <pragmaticenigma> kinghat: Though it should be noted, adding and installing from PPA's are considered 3rd party here and is not supported in this channel.
[17:45] <ioria> rasmalabar, bionic-updates and security not enabled
[17:45] <hggdh> kinghat: trust is not transitive. It is up to you
[17:45] <kinghat> does hggdh use it? i trust hggdh :P
[17:46] <ioria> rasmalabar,  check /etc/apt/sources.list
[17:50] <rasmalabar> @ioria: Yes, those repos are #ed. Let me enable those repos (in Synaptic) and try again. Thanks!
[17:50] <ioria> rasmalabar,  run sudo apt update after
[17:51] <ioria> rasmalabar,  and you might need also apt-get --fix-broken install
[17:51] <lotuspsychje> EOBeav: perhaps with the new usb-C types the persistent experiences will change
[17:52] <hggdh> kinghat: *I* trust unit193. But I know his work (which, it seems, you do not, so YMMV)
[17:52] <lotuspsychje> EOBeav: ubuntu desktop 18.04 now runs gnome by default, but as user you can choose between alot of other ubuntu !flavors aswell
[17:54] <EOBeav> lotuspsychje Good to know, thank you. Also looking at lubuntu and xubuntu to see how they will run portably. I don't mind investing in a more premium drive to make it happen.
[17:54] <hggdh> pkx3: can you pleasefix your connection?
[17:54] <lotuspsychje> EOBeav: before buying, inspect the speeds and usb type (3.1) for example
[17:54] <rasmalabar> @ioria: I enabled the repos through Synaptic GUI. It did an update afterwards and it is fine now. Silly of me, when you think of it. Thanks a million!
[17:54] <kinghat> hmm i installed it using the installer but its just opening and closing.
[17:55] <ioria> rasmalabar,  no proble, good job
[17:55] <EOBeav> lotuspsychje Yes, will do, thank you.
[17:55] <pragmaticenigma> kinghat: Support for VeraCrypt will have to be found at https://www.idrix.fr/Root/content/category/7/32/60/
[17:55] <lotuspsychje> EOBeav: and welcome back to the ubuntu community
[18:03] <DonaldKBrown> Hi there, people. I had a quick question, wondering if anybody could help me answer.
[18:03] <pragmaticenigma> !ask | DonaldKBrown
[18:04] <DonaldKBrown> I recently got the Titan security key from Google. I've already set-up my log-in and sudo to require it. However, I'd also like to protect my SSH with it.
[18:05] <DonaldKBrown> Most of the servers in my config file use password protected keys already, but some don't. As a result, I want to know if there's essentially a way to make SSH ask for password/security key verification before even running.
[18:05] <EOBeav> lotuspsychje Thanks, been away for awhile
[18:05] <DonaldKBrown> I could alias ssh to sudo ssh, but that would make configs weird and is avoidable by just putting a space before the command or calling it directly.
[18:07] <lotuspsychje> DonaldKBrown: usually we focus on ubuntu specific issues here, maybe the #openssh channel can help you set it up for you?
[18:08] <lotuspsychje> DonaldKBrown: or do you feel its ubuntu related at one point?
[18:08] <DonaldKBrown> I'm running Ubuntu 18.04. I was hoping there would be some way to force a particular command to ask for a password as if were run under sudo.
[18:09] <lotuspsychje> !ssh | DonaldKBrown
[18:11] <DonaldKBrown> Yes, I know what SSH is. I was more wondering about the ability to create a wrapper that requires a password before a particular command is run. This could then be applied globally so that other commands could be similarly wrapped and secured.
[18:12] <ioria> DonaldKBrown, sure but yoou need to recompile the program
[18:12] <pragmaticenigma> DonaldKBrown: the only real option would be to compile a version of the program that has the password request built in. Otherwise it can and will be circumvented
[18:14] <ioria> DonaldKBrown, change the ownership of the binary would not be a good idea
[18:14] <DonaldKBrown> Alright, thank you. I'll just work on securing those connections that don't use password-protected keys, then.
[18:39] <chrismatthews> I'm not too familair with ntpd. I'm using default time settings, eg 0.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org is listed as a time source. Do I use random servers for my time server from that pool, or is it a static set?
[18:46] <ioria> chrismatthews, someone wants to use the NTP server pool closer to him
[18:49] <Skyrider> Greetings everyone
[18:50] <comet23> hello
[18:51] <Skyrider> I'm in need of assistance. Since today when I rebooted my linux machine, its refusing to boot up properly. It appears that node main.js is using up almost 100% of my CPU.
[18:51] <Skyrider> But htop isn't providing me the info where this is located on the system.
[18:52] <lordcirth_> Skyrider, https://askubuntu.com/a/49030
[18:53] <comet23> Skyrider: are you trying to find the location of the executable file?
[18:53] <Skyrider> Indeed, which exactly is causing it and why.
[18:54] <Skyrider> Though it appears to be in usr/bin/node.
[18:54] <comet23> go to your terminal
[18:54] <lordcirth_> Ah, actually that command would tell you where to find 'node' but not this main.js or where it's launched from
[18:54] <comet23> oh you found it nvm
[18:54] <lordcirth_> 'locate main.js' is worth a shot
[18:54] <comet23> i was going to suggest using 'which'
[18:54] <comet23> which <filename> (in the terminal)
[18:55] <Skyrider> I have multiple main.js files though.
[18:55] <lordcirth_> The real question is what ran node, and what main.js is
[18:55] <Skyrider> Doesn't indicate "which" one is causing it
[18:55] <lordcirth_> Skyrider, if you press 't' in htop it will give you a tree mode.  Does it have a parent other than init?
[18:56] <Skyrider> Just simple info, npm / sh -c node.main.js and node main.js multiple times.
[18:56] <Skyrider> Not exactly detailed info.
[18:56] <comet23> do you have the process id for the file?
[18:56] <Skyrider> I do
[18:57] <comet23> in terminal type
[18:57] <comet23> ps -auxwe | grep <process_id>
[18:59] <comet23> Skyrider: did that work?
[19:00] <Skyrider> I see a bunch of info, yes.
[19:01] <Skyrider> https://i.imgur.com/5MnnPIW.png
[19:01] <comet23> that is strange
[19:02] <Skyrider> Tell me about it :p
[19:02] <comet23> try this
[19:02] <comet23> readlink -f /proc/<process_id_goes_here>/exe
[19:03] <lordcirth_> Won't that just say '/usr/bin/node' ?
[19:03] <Skyrider> Indeed it does
[19:03] <comet23> maybe
[19:03] <comet23> brb im going to fire up my ubuntu
[19:03] <Tenkawa> hi all
[19:03] <Skyrider> hi
[19:04] <lordcirth_> Skyrider, I'm not sure what the main.js, but google tells me there's a bug that causes this, which updating node might fix.
[19:05] <Skyrider> My node is on 6.4.1
[19:05] <Skyrider> At least that's what npm is telling me.
[19:06] <comet23> Skyrider: try this
[19:06] <comet23> it worked for me
[19:06] <comet23> ps -ef
[19:06] <lordcirth_> Ubuntu 18.04 repos have nodejs 8.10.0
[19:06] <usr1987> is it know that galculator in lubuntu does not work with %?
[19:06] <Skyrider> Still shows node main.js :p
[19:07] <comet23> it doesn't show the path to the main.js file?
[19:07] <kinghat> is it not possible to mount a samba share inside of the local user in /media? so `/media/user/samba` vs `/media/samba`?
[19:08] <Skyrider> It doesn't comet23
[19:08] <Skyrider> And If I want to update NPM I'm getting unmet dependencies.. yay
[19:10] <lordcirth_> usr1987, what do you mean?
[19:10] <lordcirth_> kinghat, quite possible.  Is it not working for you?
[19:11] <kinghat> nah i just tried mounting one level up but thats not working either.
[19:11] <kinghat> mount: /media/kinghat-server: bad option; for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program.
[19:12] <rfm> comet23, presumably if the path on the node command is just main.js, main.js must be in the working directory of the node process;  "ls-l /proc/<pid>/cwd" should tell you what that is.
[19:15] <Skyrider> yay!
[19:15] <Skyrider> Thanks, that worked :D
[19:16] <comet23> rfm: thank you for teaching me something new :D
[19:16] <rfm> comet23, you're welcome, and sorry for tagging you instead of Skyrider...
[19:18] <Skyrider> ^^ Finally, that was really bothering to find a simple application causing it.
[19:18] <comet23> linux sucks lol
[19:18] <comet23> that's why i prefer staying on mac most of the time
[19:18] <Skyrider> Server though :p, not desktop.
[19:19] <comet23> yeah i use linux for servers because it's free and there are so many guides
[19:19] <comet23> but you get what you pay for and windows server is super easy to work with
[19:19] <comet23> but it's expensive
[19:20] <pragmaticenigma> comet23: let's keep on topic
[19:20] <Skyrider> Okidoki... problem #2.
[19:20] <Skyrider> Server boots up fine, CPU is fine.. yet, oddly enough.. no internet connection
[19:23] <kinghat> lordcirth_: looks like i didnt have `cifs-utils` lol
[19:23] <lordcirth_> kinghat, lol, that would help
[19:25] <kinghat> figured that would be installed. same with samba tbh. but they weren't.  its been awhile since i set up the samba server so im not surprised i missed a few things.
[19:28] <kinghat> hmm i mounted it outside the user dir in /media and then mounted it back in the user dir in media and now there are both there. even after reloading the mounts.
[19:29] <kinghat> will that take a reboot to get rid of the unwanted one?
[19:30] <Skyrider> Was hoping someone could help me with my net problem... it's odd, server's internet is down, can't ping and for some reason ufw is gone.
[19:37] <Skyrider> Guess no one :(
[19:39] <Tenkawa> Skyrider: can you access your router/gateway from that machine?
[19:40] <KindOne> Skyrider, what OS?
[19:42] <Skyrider> Ubuntu 18.04
[19:43] <Skyrider> As for the machine itself, currently remotely connected through a console in the control panel.
[19:44] <Tenkawa> ok
[19:44] <Tenkawa> how does it connect to the inet? wifi/wired?
[19:44] <Skyrider> wired, using the virtio driver.
[19:45] <Tenkawa> virtio? thats a virtual machine bridge
[19:45] <Tenkawa> oh fun
[19:45] <Skyrider> can also choose e1000 and rtl8139 :p
[19:46] <Skyrider> Think this all happened after a system reboot requirement of a kernel.
[19:46] <Tenkawa> yeah... just didnnt realize you were running a vm here
[19:46] <Skyrider> ^^ sorry
[19:47] <Tenkawa> so.. lets see
[19:48] <Tenkawa> obviously the host is making point to point
[19:48] <Tenkawa> well actually
[19:49] <Tenkawa> what kind of remote connection are you making?
[19:49] <Tenkawa> you said its through their control panel right?
[19:50] <Skyrider> Screen option in the CP, yea.
[19:50] <Skyrider> I would assume a direct connection of the screen itself.
[19:50] <Tenkawa> dont assume that
[19:51] <Tenkawa> the can use libraries with apis to do this too
[19:51] <Skyrider> Ah ^^. The only thing that makes sense is it is something firewall related.. but that's me..
[19:52] <Tenkawa> whats your firewall status say?
[19:52] <Skyrider> ufw appears to be gone for some reason, yet I can find it with whereis ufw
[19:52] <Skyrider> Service doesn't appear to exist :-\
[19:52] <grub-loser> Okay.  So I'm running `sudo apt-get install -f` and it says "No GRUB directory found.  To create a template run 'mkdir /boot/grub' first.  To install grub, install it manually or try to 'grub-install' command`.  How do I know which to do?
[19:52] <Tenkawa> even if you do service ufw status?
[19:53] <Skyrider> 1 sec... have to manually type my password to use sudo... bloody copy paste aint working
[19:53] <Tenkawa> ok
[19:54] <Skyrider> According to the shell, loaded: masked /dev/null: bad
[19:56] <Tenkawa> try sudo ufw reload
[19:56] <Tenkawa> whats the return on that
[19:57] <Tenkawa> i'm a bit rusty on ufw
[19:57] <Skyrider> command not found :p
[19:58] <lordcirth_> grub-loser, 'ls /boot' returns what?
[19:58] <Tenkawa> you were the one just working on packages right?
[19:58] <lordcirth_> ls /boot | pastebinit
[19:58] <Tenkawa> Skyrider: you might want to make sure it didnt "remove" it
[19:58] <grub-loser> I tried both, and neither worked.  `sudo grub-install` says `error: cannot find EFI directory.` and `mkdir /boot/grub` says `File exists`
[19:59] <grub-loser> @lordcirth_: tx.  `ls /boot` returns a list of files, including a folder `grub`
[20:00] <Tenkawa> while cleaning up node.js
[20:00] <Skyrider> This is bizar
[20:01] <Skyrider> I can find ufw.service in /etc/systemd/system
[20:01] <lordcirth_> grub-loser, does /boot/efi exist?
[20:01] <Skyrider> Yet when I attempt to vim it, it says it doesnt exist
[20:01] <Tenkawa> Skyrider: that is odd
[20:01] <Tenkawa> that means its symbolic link is gon
[20:01] <Tenkawa> e
[20:01] <Tenkawa> look at its link
[20:01] <nacc> Tenkawa: Skyrider it's masked and linekd to /dev/null
[20:01] <nacc> which you can't open
[20:02] <nacc> almost certainly that, if it's a systemd unit
[20:02] <grub-loser> @lordcirth_: tx.  no, /boot/efi does not exist
[20:02] <lordcirth_> grub-loser, well, that sounds like your problem
[20:02] <Skyrider> :-\ so something is messed up
[20:03] <Tenkawa> nacc: yeah i agree
[20:03] <grub-loser> @lordcirth_ tx
[20:03] <Tenkawa> the question is ho
[20:03] <Tenkawa> w
[20:03] <nacc> Skyrider: well, only if you expected it to not be masked
[20:03] <Tenkawa> it wasnt before
[20:03] <Skyrider> I was able to execute ufw commands without problems a few weeks ago
[20:03] <Tenkawa> apparently
[20:03] <lordcirth_> This may not be helpful, but I don't like ufw, and I just use shorewall.
[20:04]  * Tenkawa hears that
[20:04] <ioria> pkx3, fix the con, pls
[20:04] <lordcirth_> grub-loser, 'mount | grep efi' please
[20:05] <Tenkawa> Skyrider: sorry I couldnt help more
[20:05] <grub-loser> @lordcirth_ tx: it returns nothing
[20:06] <lordcirth_> grub-loser, just to double check, your machine is booting using EFI?
[20:06] <Tenkawa> gotta run all
[20:06] <Tenkawa> Skyrider: good luck.
[20:07] <Skyrider> No worries, I appreciate the reply :)
[20:07] <grub-loser> @lordcirth_: /dev/sda1 on /boot/efi type vfat (rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro)
[20:07] <lordcirth_> grub-loser, thought you said it returns nothing?
[20:08] <grub-loser> @lordcirth_: my mistake ... I had run `umount -all` at some point previously.  after I remounted, I got /dev/sda1 on /boot/efi
[20:08] <lordcirth_> grub-loser, ah ok.  Does grub-install work now?
[20:09] <grub-loser> @lordcirth_: .... it's doing something ....
[20:10] <grub-loser> @lordcirth_: yes!  iut does!  `No error reported.`!  That's good!
[20:10] <lordcirth_> grub-loser, good.  Now you can run apt -f install to make sure everything's fine
[20:13] <grub-loser> @lordcirth_: it seems to be fixing something
[20:15] <grub-loser> @lordcirth_: tx so much.  Now I'm going to try to upgrade grub and then distro-upgrade
[20:16] <lordcirth_> grub-loser, no problem. Don't randomly umount things :P
[20:17] <grub-loser> @lordcirth_: tx for the tip!  I'm rebooting.  I think I've got my grub back.
[20:18] <grub-loser> I think I'd like to be played by Angela Bassett in the coming Hollywood blockbust about this: How Stella Got Her Grub Back
[20:23] <Skyrider> Odd.. the CP has a rescue mode option, whenever I use that I'm able to connect to the server using my own SSH client.
[20:23] <Skyrider> But whenever I disable it and reboot the system, I can no longer connect.
[20:24] <comet23> ?
[20:24] <comet23> what just happened
[20:25] <hggdh> comet23: nothing much, just a typo
[20:36] <Avion> ubu 18.04 says Fsck You.   what next?  https://i.imgur.com/03sq4lK.jpg
[20:36] <lotuspsychje> !details | Avion
[20:36] <Avion> !language |Avion
[20:37] <ioria> Avion, you can do it from Grub -> Advanced Options -> Recovery -> fsck
[20:38] <Avion> lotuspsychje: it wont boot. i held shift to enter grub, chose recovery (that sounded good) and this happened.  {it is a dualboot with win10 on an HP probook455,g3}
[20:39] <Avion> ioria: i dont know what to do. i should look up what fsck is on this fon.
[20:40] <Avion> The system utility fsck (file system consistency check) is a tool for checking the consistency of a file system in Unix and Unix-like operating systems, such as Linux, macOS, and FreeBSD
[20:41] <ioria> we know that
[20:41] <lotuspsychje> Avion: when did this start to happen, what did you do exactly?
[20:42] <Avion> oh, I read the screen better now. i thought I ..... lotuspsychje nothing happened. i was slow and had a jillion chrome tabs open si I decided to reboot.
[20:43] <lotuspsychje> Avion: system up to date?
[20:43] <Avion> and it would not reboot. i let it sit (for a month) like ignoring a person who had offended me.
[20:44] <lotuspsychje> Avion: this is not the channel to discuss offends
[20:46] <Avion> i was noy, just poetic. apologies.  - lotuspsychje i see it is like check disk, FileSystemChecK
[20:46] <lotuspsychje> Avion: try what ioria suggested file system check
[20:46] <Avion> ok i will learn it. thanks
[20:51] <xdruppi> can i remove examples.desktop on ~?
[20:51] <xdruppi> why when i use ls -l it points out it's a file?
[20:54] <prof2004> hi, back again
[20:54] <prof2004> have still the problem, gdm3 is not working
[20:55] <xdruppi> prof2004: what's your problem?
[20:55] <xdruppi> when did it stop working?
[20:55] <prof2004> have tried the solution from entry #57 in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1779476
[20:55] <prof2004> hi xdruppi
[20:55] <prof2004> after an system update Monday before one week
[20:56] <prof2004> ioria has helped me to solve the problem with substituting gdm3 by lightdm
[20:56] <prof2004> I am no investigating, what happens, and it seams, this problem was already there before
[20:57] <xdruppi> i see, was this a regular update, or were you updating from version to newer version?
[20:57] <prof2004> I am telling you and the team here, that the solution in the bug discussen from entry #57 is not working, fyi
[20:57] <prof2004> a regular update
[20:58] <lotuspsychje> prof2004: i fixxed this once like here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1780986
[20:58] <prof2004> it was working before, after the update, I was asked to reboot, after that reboot nothing worked
[20:58] <lotuspsychje> try the TTY part prof2004
[20:59] <xdruppi> man that is very odd
[20:59] <prof2004> hi lotus, I can try this solution, should not bring my system in danger
[21:00] <lotuspsychje> prof2004: if you reinstall the packages, as described no danger
[21:01] <prof2004> lotus, can I do this from a terminal, or do I need a console
[21:01] <xdruppi> prof2004: aren't those the same thing?
[21:02] <lotuspsychje> prof2004: if you say you cant enter GUI? you cant access to a terminal?
[21:02] <prof2004> I do not know, thought a console is more independent
[21:02] <xdruppi> prof2004: sorry, they do have different definitions, please ignore me
[21:02] <prof2004> lotus, I am currently using lightdm, what works well
[21:02] <lotuspsychje> ah
[21:02] <prof2004> so, I will go for it, cu
[21:11] <cow_2001> keynav won't work when focus is on gnome-terminal but would work when focus is on firefox. anyone knows a solution?
[21:14] <OerHeks> alt-tab will switch focus
[21:15] <ash_worksi> how does pg_lsclusters determine the cluster name?
[21:15] <Bundestrojaner> good evening
[21:15] <Bundestrojaner> after closing wine, i have strange colors on my desktop (kde) and all windowed applications untel next reboot.
[21:15] <Bundestrojaner> how can i reset the colors without rebooting?
[21:15] <prof2004> hi, I am back
[21:16] <prof2004> it did not work, same behavior
[21:18] <OerHeks> Bundestrojaner, The most easy fix for garbled desktop after wine-games, is to run them  in a "virtual desktop". You can do this by going to Wine configuration, Graphics and turning on virtual desktops.
[21:18] <prof2004> so, I will stick with lightdm for now
[21:18] <OerHeks> for now, go into the screen menu and fiddle with the options, or logout/login again
[21:18] <lotuspsychje> allright prof2004
[21:19] <Bundestrojaner> OerHeks: thx
[21:19] <prof2004> I have another problem, my scan2pdf, and simple scan do not work
[21:20] <prof2004> I have a brand new hp laserjet pro, connected by wlan, able to process print jobs from ubuntu, driverless and using bonjour
[21:20] <cow_2001> OerHeks: it won't work. gnome-terminal is invisible to it. it clicks right through it on the window underneath it.
[21:20] <Bundestrojaner> OerHeks: just opening the gamma settings solved it - very strange
[21:20] <prof2004> but system does not find a scanner
[21:20] <lotuspsychje> prof2004: is your system up to date?
[21:20] <prof2004> another system in the network, windows based, can do network scan using this printer
[21:21] <prof2004> yes, my system is up to date, today there have been new sane drivers in the update, do they?
[21:23] <lotuspsychje> prof2004: did you install hplip-data and hplip-gui ?
[21:24] <prof2004> no, but until now, scan have been possible, I will go and install
[21:24] <prof2004> wait a minute
[21:26] <prof2004> hplip-date was installed, version 3.17.10+repack0-5
[21:26] <xdruppi> prof2004: i got the same scanner issue, I have an HP printer with a scanner, at first I could use it wireless without configuring it, but the scanner didnt work, the solution was to install hplip-gui, connect the printer with USB to computer and follow hplip-gui program instructions
[21:26] <prof2004> hplip-gui was not, and is now installed
[21:27] <xdruppi> after finishing that, you can disconnect printer usb
[21:27] <xdruppi> and use it wireless
[21:27] <xdruppi> while also being able to scan
[21:27] <xdruppi> prof2004: wireless scan MIGHT seem slow, but you can configure that by changing the quality preferences in Simple Scan
[21:27] <prof2004> what did you configure? I have access to the printer via web interface, and can do all configurations
[21:28] <xdruppi> prof2004: your issue is that you can't use the  scanner wireless right?
[21:28] <prof2004> yes
[21:28] <prof2004> I can print wireless, but not scan
[21:28] <xdruppi> what brand is your printer?
[21:29] <prof2004> HP-LaserJet-MFP-M426dw
[21:30] <xdruppi> ok cool, so ubuntu comes with default hplip program, you can install hplip-gui, basically a graphical interface
[21:30] <prof2004> done
[21:30] <xdruppi> i had your issues, i could not scan wirelessly
[21:30] <xdruppi> is your printer in your devices list?
[21:31] <prof2004> have just started the HP Device Manager from hplip-gui, will see what happens
[21:31] <prof2004> yes, in the printer list
[21:32] <xdruppi> prof2004: ok so if you open HPLIP Toolbox
[21:32] <xdruppi> it will ask you to setup device
[21:33] <prof2004> does not find a device and asks for connecting the printer via usb :(
[21:33] <xdruppi> prof2004: do you have usb?
[21:33] <prof2004> oh, I have used the corresponding option, will try the right one
[21:34] <prof2004> printer found
[21:34] <prof2004> download plug-in from HP ...
[21:36] <prof2004> still downloading, the server is busy, it seams
[21:42] <MrUnagi> I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but after running openssl dhparam -out /etc/ssl/certs/dhparam.pem 2048 on my remote server, I lost ssh access. Any ideas why this would happen?
[21:43] <cow_2001>  /close
[21:43] <mostym> I have two machines, an ubuntu fileserver with a public ip of .40, and a windows server machine with a public ip of .43.  From countless locations I can ping, ssh, ftp, http, etc, the ubuntu fileserver.  However, from the windows machine, I cannot connect to the ubuntu server. I confirmed that the firewall is disabled on both the ubuntu and windows servers.  I even went so far as changing the windows server ip to .50 because I thought 
[21:44] <Ben64> your message ends with 'because I though'
[21:45] <mostym> because I thought maybe that fix things.
[21:45] <mostym> because I thought maybe that would fix things.
[21:49] <hggdh> mostym: what happenswhy you try to connect to the server? What errors do you see?
[21:50] <Ben64> can you give more details on the network
[21:52] <mostym> hggdh: connect timeouts for each service I try to connect to.
[21:59] <mostym> Ben64: This is a colo data rack at a datacenter.  It's really basic, 1Gb uplink from the DC to a 48 port netgear switch
[22:13] <hggdh> mostym: can you run tracert from the windows to the Ubuntu server?
[22:14] <z0ran>  anyone have a problem to install vmware workstation pro 14 on ubuntu 18.04
[22:15] <mostym> hggdh: Tracing route to 216.218.189.40 over a maximum of 30 hops    1  WIN-3I7IHUVF2G4 [216.218.189.43]  reports: Destination host unreachable.  Trace complete.
[22:16] <hggdh> mostym: well, there you go
[22:20] <mostym> hggdh: I wish I knew what that means.
[22:22] <roadmr> mostym: are you able to access other locations/IP addresses from the Windows machine? that looks like routes are misconfigured on the WIndows machine. If you can reach other things on the internet, I bet you have a misconfigured netmask.
[22:22] <hggdh> mostym: your windows TCP stack does not know how to get to the Ubuntu server. Bad routing, bad configuration, bad subnet, etc
[22:23] <roadmr> mostym: (btw none of that is related to Ubuntu, so perhaps you'd have better luck asking in a Windows help channel - I'm happy to help but haven't touched a Windows box in years so I can't really be of any use
[22:23] <roadmr> I have touched Windows that came in a box, though... go figure
[22:24] <mostym> roadmr: yes, I can reach other boxes with no problem.
[22:24] <mostym> I checked the netmask, gateway on both machines.
[22:24] <mostym> everything checks out
[22:26] <roadmr> mostym: have you tried pinging the Windows machine from the Ubuntu server? :)
[22:27] <mostym> roadmr: yes
[22:27] <mostym> It works
[22:27] <mostym> I mean i get responses.
[22:28] <lordcirth_> ping working one way and not the other is probably a routing or firewall problem
[22:28] <mostym> WTF
[22:28] <mostym> it's working.
[22:28] <roadmr> \o/
[22:28] <roadmr> WIZARDRY!
[22:28] <mostym> i hate that shit.
[22:28] <roadmr> mostym: did you recently change a NIC (network card) on any of these boxes?
[22:28] <mostym> roadmr: I did not.
[22:29] <roadmr> ok, then magic seems to be the explanation :)
[22:29] <mostym> I just turned off the firewall and turned it back on
[22:29] <mostym> .on the windows box
[22:29] <lordcirth_> That is pretty close to the standard Windows fix
[22:29] <lordcirth_> Reboot and hope it works this time
[22:29] <rxp> anyone know how to make highlighting work on hexchat?
[22:30] <roadmr> mostym: see, I told you it was a Windows problem ;)
[22:30] <mostym> it's not working now.
[22:30] <mostym> lol
[22:30] <mostym> Oh... it is the firewall.
[22:30] <mostym> if I disable the firewall it works.
[22:30] <mostym> but why... just for that ip.
[22:31] <lordcirth_> rxp, like, username highlighting, like this message should be doing?
[22:31] <lordcirth_> Works for me
[22:31] <rxp> huh
[22:31] <rxp> hold on
[22:32] <rxp> it looks like its working but its just not the color i sent. its green, same color as your nick
[22:32] <rxp> but i set it to orange at least i thought
[22:32] <lordcirth_> bright green is what I get
[22:33] <lordcirth_> 0x4E9A06 is the default green here
[22:33] <rxp> huh...under Interface Colors, I set Highlight to orange...maybe thats for something else
[22:33] <lordcirth_> That's what I was looking at
[22:34] <lordcirth_> rxp, highlight me, please, I've tried setting it red
[22:34] <roadmr> mostym: at this point I would definitely go ask someone who knows how to operate Windows firewalls
[22:34] <rxp> lordcirth_,
[22:34] <lordcirth_> huh, still green
[22:34] <rxp> lordcirth_, ok it made the channel name in which you highlighted me orange...but the text is green
[22:34] <lordcirth_> rxp, oh, that's interesting
[22:35] <rxp> i can work with that at least...it notifies me
[22:35] <lordcirth_> orange is the default for 'new message in channel' and I get green for highlights
[22:35] <rxp> i dont see a way to change the color of the text that contains my nick tho
[22:37] <CodeMouse92> FWIW, I see white text for everyone, green nicks for lordcirth_ and rxp. But I'm on Hexchat
[22:38] <CodeMouse92> (And highlighting always makes it orange for me)
[22:38] <CodeMouse92> Er, green.
[22:38] <rxp> yeah, my first time using hexchat...pretty similar to xchat, which i used a long time ago
[22:38] <mostym> I figured it out.  It was using the public profile.
[22:38] <rxp> im mostly used to mirc tho cause im always on windows
[22:39] <mostym> christ.
[22:39] <mostym> thanks all!
[22:44] <l0rd_hex> hi all, does anyone know which Wiki software wiki.ubuntu.com is running?
[22:45] <roadmr> l0rd_hex: it's MoinMoin: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HelpContents
[22:53] <Avion> ubu18.05 fails boot. recovery said fsck  {it is a dualboot with win10 on an HP probook455,g3. would not boot ubuntu after i booted into win19 to show that win10 gets 16 wifi signals and ubuntu only gets mine+1}
[22:59] <kirillow> what do you think of firejail?
[23:02] <OerHeks> kirillow, this s not a polling channel, just technical support
[23:07] <kirillow> oh sorry
[23:14] <TJ-> Using 'ldconfig --verbose path/to/libs' it reports some path/to/libs/lib*.so I want it to register, but checking the ld.so.cache shows they're not added. Anyone have experience of further diagnosing this?
[23:19] <vlt> Avion: To prevent problems like these it’s often recommended to stick to officially released versions (of both Ubuntu and Windows).
[23:22] <Avion> vlt i am only using officially released versions. whatever gave you another idea I dont know.
[23:25] <OerHeks> capturing of wifi/and or usb ports, windows 10 is known for that, probably the fastboot-function
[23:26] <Avion> tutorials.ubuntu.com for create a usb stick on windows is terrific (for using rufus, on windows)
[23:27] <OerHeks> etcher, rufus, both should do fine
[23:28] <Avion> vlt i am not proficient enough to do otherwise
[23:28] <Avion> the icon on the taskbar shows how far along it is. (my tension level drops.)
[23:29] <Avion> next steo to fsck (looking for tutorial, all help valued)
[23:54] <Avion> basic basic questiin, booted from a live usb. how do I figure out how to refer to my linux partition? eg /dev/sda-something. or sdb... i am lost.  i tried lsblk but noting told me what was what. or which.
[23:55] <Avion> i dont want to check windows only ubuntu
[23:55] <slidinghorn> Avion, look for one that's formatted as ext4
[23:56] <scientes> how can i record a phone call on Linux?
[23:56] <scientes> both mic and speakers
[23:56] <scientes> (google voice)
[23:57] <slidinghorn> scientes, you should be able to in Audacity without an issue.  Local recording consent laws would likely be in effect, just as fair warning
[23:58] <scientes> yes i am aware
[23:58] <Avion> what (specifically) is a "filesystem type" and how do I specify just the ubuntu one.
[23:58] <scientes> I have to do it on Linux, cause phones have that feature disabled, like a nanny phone, slidinghorn
