| ducasse | Roden: check out 'script' | 09:30 |
| zetheroo | where are system service configs located? | 09:34 |
| zetheroo | 'systemctl status freeradius.service' - where does 'freeradius.service' live? | 09:35 |
| Roden | can anyone explain why terminal is telling me I'm on my intel gpu? Additional drivers says I have two NVIDIA drivers. which should I use? | 09:38 |

| apeman | I did a fresh Ubuntu 18.04 LTS install with 4 partitions on SSD: ESP, /, swap, and /home. HDD mounted separately as storage drive. I was just wondering whether partitioning can ever be the cause of other software problems. Like firefox is bugged every startup, teamviewer hangs, new GTX 2080 is severely underperforming. Or is it just a perfectly normal experience for things to not work smoothly out of the box? | 09:39 |
| ducasse | zetheroo: try /lib/systemd/system | 09:40 |
| ducasse | zetheroo: or /etc/systemd/system | 09:41 |
| zetheroo | ducasse: ok thanks - found it in the first one | 09:41 |
| ducasse | zetheroo: ypu could also have found it with 'locate freeradius.service | 09:42 |
| Roden | apeman, yes, it can. | 09:43 |
| zetheroo | ducasse: The issue I am having is that Freeradius requires /tmp/radiusd to exist and to be owned by user freerad. I had three lines in the /etc/init.d/freeradius file which took care of this on boot, but since upgrading to 18.04 it's no longer working. | 09:44 |
| zetheroo | So I suspected that the /etc/init.d/freeradius file is no longer being executed on boot | 09:44 |
| zetheroo | Is this correct? | 09:44 |
| apeman | Roden: But why/how? Does some software assume things are on the same partition? | 09:45 |
| apeman | I mean at least they're on the same SSD | 09:46 |
| Roden | you're making a broad statement, apeman . | 09:46 |
| Roden | if you're looking only at installing apps that have been reviewed, then the range of possible issues is reduced. | 09:46 |
| Roden | If you're only installing minor packages and libraries, the risks continue to be reduced. | 09:46 |
| ducasse | zetheroo: if there is a systemd service with the same name, maybe not - i can't say for sure | 09:47 |
| Roden | but when you have some massive software (which I'm sure you do), it's just possible that it could add a level of difficulty to an error somewhere along the line. | 09:47 |
| zetheroo | ducasse: right, that would make sense. Now I am wondering if those three commands can be placed into the service file | 09:48 |
| Roden | I think it's not likely that you will encounter problems based on the partition layout you've used. You haven't given much info about them.... | 09:48 |
| Roden | what is ESP? | 09:48 |
| apeman | EFI system partition. Ubuntu is booting in UEFI mode so it's required. | 09:49 |
| Roden | Those partitions seem fairly standard so I have no reason to believe you'll get in trouble. I wonder if you can resize them all? | 09:50 |
| Roden | I'm kind of on a refresher course, myself. | 09:50 |
| Roden | It probably solves more problems than it fixes to have multiple partitions like that. | 09:50 |
| apeman | Well the ESP is 550MB, / is 30GB, swap is 32GB (I have 32GB RAM), the rest is /home. I can reinstall everything in one unified partition if necessary | 09:50 |
| Roden | maybe use a bigger swap | 09:51 |
| Roden | so /home is like at least 250 gb | 09:51 |
| apeman | ~450GB | 09:51 |
| Roden | all the less reason to worry | 09:51 |
| Roden | I don't think there are many (if any) matter-of-course issues with having multiple partitions like that. | 09:52 |
| Roden | You're on 18.04? | 09:52 |
| ducasse | apeman: do you use hibernation? | 09:52 |
| Roden | oh, that's one I remember. | 09:52 |
| apeman | ducasse: I am going to try it at the least, as I'm going to use Wake On Lan | 09:53 |
| apeman | but yeah that's the reason why my swap is so big | 09:53 |
| Roden | the swap size should be okay. | 09:55 |
| hasdf_ | What could be the problem, if Ubuntu doesn't prompt (UI) for updates? Updating via cli works just fine, but non-technical people will not do that. | 09:57 |

| Roden | man there MUST be a way to switch the active GPU on ubuntu | 10:00 |
| Roden | anyone here know how at all? | 10:00 |
| lotuspsychje | Roden: you have an optimus/hybrid card? | 10:01 |
| Roden | lotuspsychje, i have a 980 nvidia dedicated | 10:01 |
| Roden | but i'm seeing intel as the active VGA | 10:01 |
| lotuspsychje | Roden: if you card has optimus, you need an active nvidia driver + nvidia-prime installed | 10:01 |
| lotuspsychje | Roden: after that you can choose between performance mode vs powersvaing mode from nvidia-settings | 10:02 |
| cfhowlett | Roden, I had intel/nvidia. switched between the 2 with nvida-prime | 10:02 |
| lotuspsychje | *powersaving | 10:02 |
| Roden | that's arleady installed | 10:02 |
| Roden | how do you switch | 10:02 |
| cfhowlett | Roden, not at my machine at present, but I recall launching prime and selecting the other gpu. IIRC, logout/login was required | 10:03 |
| Roden | how do you launch it though | 10:03 |
| Roden | i'm searching it | 10:04 |
| lotuspsychje | Roden: nvidia-prime gets auto installed when installing the nvidia driver | 10:04 |
| lotuspsychje | Roden: software&updates tab additional drivers will show you wich driver you have active currently | 10:06 |

| mort | well, it's something people want to do whether canonical wants it or not, and there's plenty of guides on the web about how to do it, some even specifically from 18.10 to 18.04 | 15:32 |
| nacc | the internet is not a source of truth. | 15:33 |
| mort | never said it was | 15:33 |
| nacc | and this discussion has nothing to with canonical, don't strawman | 15:33 |
| nacc | it doesn't work, and isn't supported by anyone who actually knows what they are doing. | 15:33 |
| mort | doesn't it have everything to do with canonical? Isn't it they who haven't decided to support downgrading? | 15:34 |
| nacc | no | 15:34 |
| mort | I'm not saying they should have done it, it would be more work than it's work I presume, but they certainly could invest a bunch of resources in making downgrades a thing | 15:34 |
| lotuspsychje | mort: installing ubuntu takes like 15min, why the effort of messing around anyhow? | 15:35 |
| mort | lotuspsychje: well, if it was as simple as just changing sources.list and pinning packages to bionic, it would've been faster than reinstalling | 15:36 |
| lotuspsychje | mort: even if it was possible, downgrading from a non-lts to LTS is already a bad idea | 15:36 |
| nacc | mort: it's not, just like upgrades are not. Drop it. | 15:37 |
| mort | why would it have been a bad idea if it was possible and unproblematic? | 15:37 |

| nacc | gt8ost4l: did you replace pulseaudio with something else? | 15:38 |
| gt8ost4l | nacc: yes alsa | 15:38 |
| mort | there's not really anything to continue, I asked if there was something to do and there wasn't, I'm not complaining about or demanding or criticizing anything | 15:38 |
| nacc | gt8ost4l: and did you verify your alsa config works? | 15:38 |
| gt8ost4l | nacc: what do you mean by alsa config? | 15:39 |
| nacc | gt8ost4l: like do you have sound via `aplay` ? | 15:39 |
| gt8ost4l | nacc: it all works chrome clementine but mot firefox | 15:40 |
| BluesKaj | gt8ost4l, FF requires pulseaudio | 15:41 |
| nacc | BluesKaj: good info :) | 15:41 |
| gt8ost4l | BluesKaj: so there is no a method for ff to support alsa? | 15:42 |

| === SimonNL is now known as _SimonNL | ||
| BluesKaj | gt8ost4l, pulseaudio rides on top of alsa, it doesn't replace alsa, most audio chips need pulseaudio nowadays. You can make alsa do all the work on your music and movies etc, but not on web audio thru a browser, pulseaudio is a must these dats | 15:45 |

| Mesp | Hello! I went to the System & Updates and it says there are no additional drivers available, is that normal? | 15:59 |
| nacc | Mesp: depends on your hardware and repository configuration. | 16:00 |
| Mesp | I currently have an Acer Swift 3 which should have an MX150 and an i5 in it and it's currently using the i5 but I can't seem to be able to switch it to MX150 so that's where the problems started. | 16:00 |
| nacc | Mesp: does `lspci` show both devices? | 16:01 |
| Mesp | Also when I open nvidia-settings I get "ERROR: Error querying enabled displays on GPU 0 (Missing Extension)." and that Prime isn't supported when it should | 16:01 |
| nacc | Mesp: what version of ubuntu, as well | 16:01 |
| Mesp | The only VGA is "00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation UHD Graphics 620 (rev 07)" | 16:01 |
| OerHeks | 384.59 gives support for mx150 | 16:02 |
| OerHeks | the driver tool can take up to a minute to load available drivers | 16:02 |
| Mesp | No, it says "No available drivers." | 16:02 |
| nacc | OerHeks: i assume the device should already be visible via `lspci` ? | 16:02 |
| OerHeks | nacc yes | 16:02 |
| Mesp | vassilios@swift:~$ lspci | grep VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation UHD Graphics 620 (rev 07) | 16:03 |
| nacc | Mesp: OerHeks: i guess check bios settings? | 16:03 |
| OerHeks | Mesp, nacc, i think so too, set the nvidia as primairy? | 16:03 |
| Mesp | I tried that and on UEFI and on Advanced it says only Intel VTX, intel VTD and SATA Configuration | 16:04 |
| Mesp | I did "sudo prime-select nvidia" and it says with "prime-query" nvidia even after restart but it doesn't seem like it's the nvidia one | 16:05 |
| Mesp | I will try to install 384.59 and see | 16:08 |
| nacc | OerHeks: dunno, i don't think installing the driver would matter if the device isn't visible, right? I've never used such devices | 16:10 |
| OerHeks | maybe nomodeset is used | 16:15 |

| funkyjive | I had working 5.1 sound via intel audio on my ubuntu 18.04 system up to and after updating with the recent kernel updates and such. I plugged in a USB headset to use temporarily. It seems that my sound system has gone totally wrong. Now I can only get sound to work via the USB. | 16:35 |
| funkyjive | I think what happened is that when I plugged in the USB (which I had done before and it worked no problem) something new in the system wiped out my old configuration | 16:35 |
| funkyjive | The sound system seems to be pointed to the S/PDIF -- which is not what I am using. I have 3 analog plugs to my speakers | 16:36 |
| funkyjive | so my question is: how do I adjust my sound system to not use S/PDIF but to use the analog jacks? | 16:37 |
| funkyjive | I have been google searching, but I haven't been able to land on the right terms for how to configure this | 16:38 |

| funkyjive | BluesKaj: in the configuration tab in pavcontrol it says Analog Surround 5.1 Output (unplugged) as an option .... | 16:50 |
| funkyjive | BluesKaj: I can't figure out why it says unplugged, when it is plugged in and has been forever. | 16:52 |
| funkyjive | BluesKaj: it just feels like some kind of software change or something | 16:52 |

| funkyjive | I'm going with it. | 16:53 |
| funkyjive | BluesKaj: thanks for your help. | 16:53 |
| BluesKaj | funkyjive, in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf, add this line, options snd-hda-intel index=0, that should make the intel driver default (Card 0). you may need to reboot | 16:55 |
| ovrh | TheMesquito, Oh, so it is snaps... But what about those other ones? /var/log, /var/tmp, /usr/src, /tmp, /etc, /etc/*, /tmp | 16:56 |

| nacc | ovrh: sorry was on the hpone, looking | 17:20 |
| nacc | Mesp: do you see errors in `dmesg`? honestly, if `lspci` doesn't see the device, it's not necessarily a bug in Ubuntu clearly. | 17:21 |
| BluesKaj | funkyjive, index with minus means it's bypassed/ignored | 17:21 |
| nacc | ovrh: from what i can tell, this might just be abuggy system monitor, it does't undestand loop back mounts | 17:21 |
| Mesp | I don't think I see any errors which are for nvidia | 17:22 |
| ovrh | nacc, No worries, I'm just honestly curious to understand what's going on. Everything seems to work fine, apart from the fact that it renders the Filesystem section of System Monitor useless | 17:22 |
| Mesp | If there was an error in the loading or identifying it would be in dmesg? | 17:22 |
| ovrh | nacc, Makes sense. Is there a better tool I could use? Even cli | 17:23 |
| nacc | ovrh: right, i understand that. Really it and most tools should just ignore loop mounts for usage purposes | 17:23 |
| Mesp | What's weird is that "Additionals Drivers" says there are no drivers available | 17:23 |
| nacc | ovrh: i think all have this limitation, tbh; we (ubuntu devs) have talked about modifying `df` to have a flag, but i don't think it went anywhere | 17:23 |
| nacc | Mesp: well, it won't if it can't see the device | 17:23 |
| OerHeks | Mesp, the answer should be in your bios, first check if you have the latest version? | 17:23 |
| nacc | Mesp: there might be an error unrelated to nvidia, tbc; like the pci controller itself | 17:24 |
| nacc | Mesp: might be worth pastebinning `dmesg` | 17:24 |
| Mesp | sudo dmidecode -s bios-version prints V.107 | 17:24 |

| Mesp | The xhci error can be fixed with a restart so it's not that | 17:26 |
| nacc | ovrh: those loop3 mounts are all the core snap | 17:27 |
| nacc | it's weird that the tool thinks it's mounted all over when `mount` does not | 17:27 |
| nacc | they *could* be bind mounts | 17:27 |
| nacc | Mesp: dont' filter it please | 17:28 |
| ovrh | nacc, I'm not sure what's a bind mount. But don't those mountpoint need to stay mounted in order to use the snap apps they are associated with? | 17:28 |

| ntd | nacc, can't be userspace, otherwise why are deb stable (4.9) and testing 4.18 working fine? | 17:40 |
| tarzeau | coconut: they're loopback mounted, and not copy installed. squasfs compressed | 17:40 |
| nacc | ntd: well, neither of those are possibly the userspace in question. In any case, did you comment in the bug yet? | 17:40 |
| tarzeau | apt is more advanced imho | 17:40 |
| coconut | tarzeau: doesn't that create a lot more ram use then? | 17:41 |
| tarzeau | coconut: a bit more, but nowadays, does it matter? | 17:41 |
| tarzeau | coconut: since they often don't use system libraries, they do use more ram yes | 17:41 |
| nacc | coconut: you *want* your ram to be used, anyways | 17:41 |
| coconut | right right | 17:42 |
| tarzeau | nacc: i often see systems run out of ram, and start swapping or OOM reboots | 17:42 |
| nacc | tarzeau: then you are overcommiting your memory and have insufficient swap | 17:42 |
| nacc | tarzeau: that's called a configuration error :) | 17:42 |
| tarzeau | and we've got systems with 4 GB up to 1.5 TB ram (+2 TB ssd swap) | 17:42 |
| tarzeau | nacc: i'm not, but i do say OOM=kernel panic, kernel panic=reboot | 17:43 |
| tarzeau | since i don't want to hang around in server rooms over weekends or nights | 17:43 |
| tarzeau | to press the reboot button | 17:43 |
| nacc | tarzeau: in any case, that's irrelevant to my point. | 17:43 |
| nacc | tarzeau: 'running out of memory' is about memory pressure to satisfy an allocation. Not about the use of memory in the first place. | 17:44 |
| tarzeau | i'm sure i have enough ram + swap with 3500 GB | 17:44 |
| nacc | tarzeau: you *are* overcommmiting your memory if you run out of it or see the OOM killer. That's what it's for. | 17:44 |
| tarzeau | if you mean linux kernel setting memory overcommitting, i'm not | 17:44 |
| nacc | tarzeau: no, i don't mean that | 17:44 |
| nacc | tarzeau: i mean you are allocating more memory in userspace then there is physical memory in your system. | 17:45 |
| tarzeau | you mean i ask for more memory than there is? | 17:45 |
| tarzeau | *I* certainly am not, but some users are, yes, however it's multi user systems | 17:45 |
| nacc | tarzeau: so again, you (as in your system of course), is overcommitted in memory. Which is what I said. | 17:45 |

What it sounds like to me is that Tranmission is maxing out the number of connections the system can handle at one time, or the amount of bandwidth used by Tranmission is preventing any other network activity from taking place | 18:31 |
| lotuspsychje | Mesp: thats the current kernel for cosmic so.. | 18:32 |
| Mesp | Alright, thank you! | 18:32 |
| lotuspsychje | Mesp: if you say you have 18.10 that kernel should already be in your list | 18:33 |
| Mesp | Yeah it is. | 18:33 |
| Mesp | I will boot into. | 18:33 |
| Mesp | into it* | 18:33 |
| Shasirax_ | pragmaticenigma: Ohh, that could be it. "max-peers-global": 200. That restricts it to a reasonal amount tho right? The speed has never been a problem before but I'll lower it to see if that helps | 18:34 |
| pragmaticenigma | 200 is a lot of connections, especially if the computer is not server level hardware. I have my torrent client setup (Deluge) with a max of 3 connections per torrent with a global number of 80 | 18:36 |
| Shasirax_ | pragmaticenigma: oh, really? Never had a problem with it so far and I have way above 200 torrents in Transmission. Switching down to 80 :) | 18:38 |
| pragmaticenigma | Shasirax_: You can have as many active torrents as you want. The setting I'm talking about is the number of connections, it should be in the settings under a bandwidth area | 18:39 |
| Shasirax_ | pragmaticenigma: yeah, I get what you mean :) Settings for Transmission isn't really that straight forward tho. Has to edit the settings file before starting daemon^^ I'm testing it now tho | 18:41 |
| Shasirax_ | Thanks btw | 18:41 |
| pragmaticenigma | Shasirax_: Settings for torrent clients are all unique, different network setups, computer setups, and so on affect what you will desire for those settings. Seedboxes can usually max out stuff like that. A computer on a home network with other comptuers, should take a more concervative approach | 18:42 |
| nacc | ntd: interesting | 18:44 |
| nacc | ntd: sorry, i need to switch to other stuff right now, if you could put all that in the bug, that would be good | 18:44 |
| Shasirax_ | pragmaticenigma: True true, problem is I got this problem from absolutely nothing. It worked just fine like 3 days ago with the open settings and now, ded. I also have the problem that torrents go to high speed and then it just seem to disconnect or max out cache and drop to 0. | 18:45 |
| pragmaticenigma | Shasirax_: sounds like some trial and error to find settings that work best for you. You may also want to research alternative clients that might be better suited to handle your needs. I view Tranmission as a great starter to learning to torrent, but I personally use Deluge as I find it has less issues with what I use it for. | 18:46 |
| leonardus | is there any particular reason why ubuntu versions have silly animal names | 18:47 |
| leonardus | or is it just for fun | 18:47 |
| lotuspsychje | Shasirax_: or follow pragmaticenigma advice with a reinstall of transmission and new config as a test? | 18:47 |
| lotuspsychje | !codenames | leonardus | 18:47 |
| ubottu | leonardus: Ubuntu has awesome release codenames. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DevelopmentCodeNames for more | 18:47 |
| ntd | nacc, yeah. i don't have a lp account. registering with the os vendor is kinda a pet peeve of mine | 18:47 |
| ntd | but this this obviously a bug/regression and it would take someone with clout all of two minutes to verify it | 18:48 |
| lotuspsychje | ntd: bugging out bug, without actually bugging them isnt gonna do much right? | 18:50 |
| Shasirax_ | pragmaticenigma: tested Deluge actually, got problems with permissions and so on. Never had this much problem with Transmission and generally liked it, it's simple and just what I need. I'll try a restall tho... But I don't wanna loose all my torrents and have to add them again :( | 18:50 |
| leonardus | can someone add "Crafty Cobra" to "if you have a magical idea, please add it to the table at the bottom of this page" | 18:50 |
| leonardus | not sure if i have permission to edit the wiki | 18:50 |
| Shasirax_ | lotuspsychje: yeah, will do. Just have to come up with a way to backup the current one | 18:50 |
| lotuspsychje | !contribute | leonardus start here | 18:51 |
| ubottu | leonardus start here: To contribute and help out with Ubuntu, see http://community.ubuntu.com and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ContributeToUbuntu | 18:51 |
| ntd | nacc, also, if you have a t470s you might have noticed that 18.04 rtm kernel would not boot when it was docked? | 18:51 |
| lotuspsychje | Shasirax_: finish your running ones, then unplug your media for safety :p | 18:52 |
| Shasirax_ | lotuspsychje: about 200-300 uploads running :P No "finishing" there. But yeah, I'll kill it^^ | 18:53 |
| lotuspsychje | oof | 18:53 |
| ntd | kinda warned you guys for several weeks before launch, (and referenced the fedora thread verifying/documenting the issue with that kernel version) but nooo | 18:54 |
| lotuspsychje | !who | ntd | 18:54 |
| ubottu | ntd: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 18:54 |
| hggdh | ntd: did you open a bug on that? | 18:54 |
| Shasirax_ | lotuspsychje: pragmaticenigma: Thanks for the help dudes. You're great :) | 18:54 |
| lotuspsychje | Shasirax_: hope it helps | 18:55 |
| ntd | was told to take it up with someone in ubuntu-kernel | 18:55 |
| ntd | i did. and the fedora thread should've been plenty of proof | 18:55 |
| ntd | in short: 18.04 install media could not bee booted on docked haswell->kaby thinkpads | 18:57 |
| nacc | ntd: ok then you can stop complaining. I'm sorry, if you're not willing to file bugs, you can't expect support | 18:58 |
| nacc | ntd: i don't use a dock | 18:58 |

| OerHeks | as yours seems old, from 2008, i wonder why it does not calibrate | 19:36 |
| deadrom | eh, usb3 port on docking station actually only is usb2 in system. moved ssd on usb3 adapter to notebook's port -> vroom! 550MB/s | 19:36 |
| * deadrom <3 SSDs | 19:36 | |
| qwebirc15728 | Yes it's not that young, but it does calibrate under 16.04 this is lost when moving to 18.04 so I assumed that there were some changes as how the x driver works from a version to another... I noticed that whatever I put in those files , it doesn't change anything, even values that should prevent Ubuntu from booting ! | 19:38 |

| thagabe | Any one experience issues with ubuntu server not logging you in? I finished setting up an lxd container and everything. I reboot and boom cannot log in to either root or my unprivilage account anymore???!?!?!?!?! When i go to recovery mode i can easily log-in there no problem. Ive tried resetting the password multiple times and nothing works | 19:38 |
| lordcirth_ | thagabe, did you install an LDAP tool or something? What is in /etc/nsswitch? | 19:39 |
| lordcirth_ | er, /etc/nsswitch.conf | 19:39 |
| ntd | nacc, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1807250 | 19:39 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1807250 in linux (Ubuntu) "At some point in the 18.04 cycle, /sys/bus/iio has disappeared from my system" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 19:40 |
| qwebirc15728 | I'm browsing through the forum you shares... trying to figure if there is something that looks like it... | 19:40 |
| thagabe | lordcirth_ Nothing new was installed. Clean install of ubuntu server w/ docker and lxd. Created a 18.04 container and set up ark (game) server [made it so systemd would start the server on container boot]. Rebooted my server and now i cant login at the login manager | 19:42 |
| lordcirth_ | thagabe, login manager? What about through a tty? | 19:42 |
| thagabe | i meant tty | 19:42 |
| thagabe | Tried tty1-5 | 19:42 |
| thagabe | nothing | 19:42 |
| lordcirth_ | Ah, ok. So in recovery mode, look through /var/log/auth.log and syslog | 19:42 |
| qwebirc15728 | In fact, I'm at the step where I try to figure what changed in the evdev driver between the two versions... I noticed that 18.04 is always 64b while my 16.04 was I386 32b, I don't know if it could impact | 19:43 |
| thagabe | What should i keep an eye out for? lordcirth_ | 19:43 |
| lordcirth_ | thagabe, well, auth.log is login attempts. So any sort of auth failure should show up there. syslog should show if something was crashing | 19:44 |
| qwebirc15728 | So any idea ? | 19:46 |
| thagabe | @lordc | 19:47 |
| lordcirth_ | thagabe, ? | 19:47 |
| thagabe | lordcirth_: I see the login attempts but I'm not seeing why. | 19:49 |
| deadrom | qwebirc15728, not what you wanna hear but file a bug report and pick an adequate severity | 19:50 |
| lordcirth_ | thagabe, it says auth failed? | 19:50 |
| thagabe | yes | 19:50 |
| lordcirth_ | thagabe, look in /etc/nssswitch.conf and see if there's a source listed other than 'files' | 19:50 |
| thagabe | wait a second | 19:50 |
| lordcirth_ | It might be trying to handle logins using something other than standard /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow | 19:51 |
| qwebirc15728 | <deadrom> Do you have any idea where I can file a bug report for Ubuntu ? That might help me as I'm more Debian and iSeries system user usually | 19:51 |
| thagabe | does a unit file on systemd inside a container affect the base os? | 19:52 |
| OerHeks | !bug | 19:52 |
| Mesp | Yeah after a kernel upgrade and shit I have no idea why the card is no recognized by ubuntu | 19:52 |
| ubottu | If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please report it using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. | 19:52 |
| thagabe | because if it does then maybe the unit file might be trying to do something | 19:52 |
| thagabe | even when the container is off | 19:52 |
| thagabe | also | 19:52 |
| lordcirth_ | thagabe, no, userspace in a container should never affect the outside | 19:52 |
| lordcirth_ | thagabe, however, is it possible you accidentally put the .unit file in the host instead of the guest? | 19:52 |
| thagabe | no | 19:53 |
| thagabe | i did followed this guide and maybe this is why its not working | 19:53 |
| thagabe | https://hostadvice.com/how-to/how-to-install-an-ark-server-on-an-ubuntu-18-04-vps-or-dedicated-server/ | 19:53 |
| thagabe | under the open file limits I did all that on the host os not the container as containers dont have filesystem access | 19:54 |
| qwebirc15728 | <ubottu> Thank you that's a step... | 19:55 |
| lordcirth_ | thagabe, the "/etc/pam.d/common-session" change seems likely to be related | 19:55 |
| lordcirth_ | thagabe, try commenting out sessionrequired pam_limits.so in that file and rebooting | 19:55 |
| thagabe | yeah that was going to be my first guess | 19:56 |
| thagabe | Will do once I get home and have access to the server | 19:56 |
| thagabe | Thank you for your time | 19:56 |
| qwebirc15728 | <deadrom> I have nothing aganst raising a bug report, that's part of the life of open source OS, it's fine. Maybe we will figure, I could have remain on 16.04 but there some packages I'm looking for where not available anymore :O | 19:56 |
| thagabe | What does the pam_limits.so do anyways? | 19:57 |
| qwebirc15728 | Thank you all to have taken some of your time to think with me, and I wish you all the best ! | 19:58 |
| lordcirth_ | thagabe, https://linux.die.net/man/8/pam_limits | 19:59 |
| thagabe | lordcirth_ for "/etc/security/limits.conf" Do i need to put the "*" before soft/hard? | 19:59 |
| thagabe | because i didnt | 19:59 |
| thagabe | and i assumed that was just formatting | 19:59 |
| deadrom | qwebirc15728, please carry on the torch : | 20:00 |
| deadrom | :) | 20:00 |
| lordcirth_ | thagabe, lol. Yes, the * is needed. It means 'all' | 20:00 |
| thagabe | yikes! | 20:00 |
| thagabe | errors | 20:00 |
| thagabe | I will add the "*" | 20:00 |
| OerHeks | use /etc/security/limits.d instead of editing the actual /etc/security/limits.conf file. https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/457458/issue-on-updating-limits-conf-on-ubuntu-server-18-04 | 20:00 |
| deadrom | gtg | 20:00 |
| thagabe | if that doesnt fix my issue ill run to commenting out the pam line | 20:01 |
| thagabe | Thank you for the help lordcirth_ | 20:01 |
| lordcirth_ | Also a good point, .d directories are good | 20:01 |
| lordcirth_ | np, let me know if it works | 20:01 |
| OerHeks | he found out it does not work | 20:01 |
| thagabe | lordcirth_ Can I open firewall ports for specific lxd containers or do i do that as the whole os? | 20:02 |
| thagabe | because right now im leading towards having to open up ports for my container, the base system, and my router | 20:03 |
| thagabe | luckily all of these run linux | 20:03 |
| lordcirth_ | thagabe, if your container doesn't have a firewall set up, you shouldn't need to do anything there | 20:03 |
| lordcirth_ | How are you connecting your container to your LAN? | 20:03 |
| Mesp | On Ubuntu 18.10 should I use Bumblebee or Optimus because my GPU isn't recognized, only the integrated one is. | 20:03 |

| Mesp | I downloaded the FreeDOS iso and put it in a USB but on startup it doesn't give me the option to choose it by pressing F12 | 20:05 |

| ioria | Mesp_, cat /etc/issue | 20:34 |
| Mesp_ | Ubuntu 18.10 \n \l | 20:34 |
| OerHeks | all 18.10 drivers | 20:34 |
| ioria | Mesp_, uname -r | 20:34 |
| Mesp_ | 4.18.0-12-generic | 20:34 |
| OerHeks | asume you have used the driver ppa too .. | 20:35 |
| ioria | yep | 20:35 |
| ioria | Mesp_, it's a fresh install of 18.10 ? | 20:36 |
| Mesp_ | I upgraded it from 18.04 | 20:36 |
| Mesp_ | But I have no idea if the card was recognized in 18.04 as I didn't mess with it. | 20:37 |
| ioria | Mesp_, why don't you purge all of that ? | 20:37 |
| Mesp_ | sudo apt purge? | 20:37 |
| ioria | Mesp_, wait... yo don't know if 18.04 shows that card ? | 20:37 |
| Mesp_ | I don't know if it shows the MX150 since I haven't tested it on that. | 20:37 |
| Mesp_ | I have only tried to access the MX since like yesterday | 20:38 |
| Mesp_ | I autoremove'd stuff that it didn't need | 20:38 |
| deadrom | OerHeks, same without, same when launching from menu | 20:39 |
| ioria | Mesp_, sudo apt purge nvidia-driver-390 nvidia-367 nvidia-384 | 20:39 |
| Mesp_ | done | 20:39 |
| ioria | Mesp_, sudo apt autoremove | 20:40 |
| OerHeks | 410 415 | 20:40 |
| Mesp_ | I can still 410 and 415 from the Terminal but If I try to install from a file it says it can't find the MX card | 20:40 |
| ioria | Mesp_, after autoremove paste again dpkg -l | grep nvidia | pastebinit | 20:41 |
| Mesp_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/7Xhg6Rvj4q/ | 20:41 |
| ioria | Mesp_, sudo apt purge nvidia* | 20:42 |
| Mesp_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/cDy8BTVwHC/ | 20:43 |
| ioria | Mesp_, sudo apt purge libnvidia* | 20:43 |
| Mesp_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/4Tk2PSQJRN/ | 20:44 |
| ioria | Mesp_, sudo apt purge libnvidia-compute-390:i386 | 20:44 |
| Mesp_ | alright it's empty | 20:45 |
| Mesp_ | clear | 20:45 |
| Mesp_ | oops | 20:45 |
| ioria | Mesp_, ls /etc/modprobe.d | 20:45 |
| chrismatthews | in sshd_config how do I set minimum password length and lockout timers after x failed attempts. | 20:46 |
| ioria | Mesp_, ls /etc/modprobe.d | pastebinit | 20:46 |
| thagabe | Does LXD create a btrfs pool? | 20:47 |
| Mesp_ | ioria http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Q5sWBVq5mn/ | 20:47 |
| thagabe | Because I am running it on ext4 | 20:47 |
| thagabe | but it mentions btrfs on the initial set up of lxd | 20:48 |
| ioria | Mesp_, rebbot | 20:48 |
| ioria | Mesp_, reboot | 20:48 |
| Mesp_ | alright | 20:48 |
| deadrom | ok, it seems a ppa package here is preventing release-upgrade. which annoys me since upgrade told be it owuld disable these for now | 20:49 |
| deadrom | what annoys me more is that it doesnt tell me whcih packages offend | 20:49 |
| deadrom | pointers appreciated | 20:49 |
| lordcirth_ | deadrom, are you still trying to upgrade to 19.04, or 18.04? | 20:51 |
| deadrom | lordcirth_, nono, my fault, 16.04 -> 18.04 | 20:51 |
| Mesp | ioria done | 20:51 |
| lordcirth_ | deadrom, ok, and what error is it returning? | 20:51 |
| ioria | Mesp_, cat /proc/cmdline | 20:51 |
| ioria | Mesp_, you canpaste here | 20:51 |
| Mesp | BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-4.18.0-12-generic root=/dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root ro quiet splash iommu=pt nouveau.blacklist=1 vt.handoff=1 | 20:52 |
| ioria | Mesp_, why did you blacklist nouveau ? | 20:52 |
| deadrom | lordcirth_, "cannot calculate upgrades" (or such, LC_ALL=C borks with do-release-upgrade ) | 20:52 |
| Mesp | Because when I was trying to install the NVIDIA it said nouveau might be interrupting | 20:52 |
| Mesp | But then I didn't remove it | 20:52 |
| ioria | Mesp_, cat /etc/default/grub | pastebinit | 20:53 |
| lordcirth_ | deadrom, can you manually disable your ppas? Are they critical, eg graphics drivers? | 20:53 |
| Mesp | http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/HtpMkxwTmr/ | 20:53 |
| lordcirth_ | tbh I usually just reinstall every LTS | 20:53 |
| ioria | Mesp_, why the changes ? | 20:54 |
| Mesp | changes? | 20:54 |
| seven-eleven | hi | 20:54 |
| Mesp | I used grub customizer to add the blacklist so maybe it did that | 20:55 |
| seven-eleven | i cant uninstall a package because its systemd service unit fails to stop, how can I force package removal? | 20:55 |
| Mesp | otherwise I didn't mess with it if I recall correctly | 20:55 |
| lordcirth_ | seven-eleven, what package/service? | 20:55 |
| ioria | Mesp_, you did... sudo cp grub grub.back | 20:55 |
| seven-eleven | lordcirth_, bareos, third party repository | 20:55 |
| Mesp | cp: cannot stat 'grub': No such file or directory | 20:56 |
| ioria | Mesp_, cd in /etc/default | 20:56 |
| Mesp | done | 20:56 |
| ioria | Mesp_, sudo cp grub grub.back | 20:56 |
| Mesp | yeah done | 20:56 |
| seven-eleven | can't uninstall "bareos-director" | 20:56 |
| lordcirth_ | seven-eleven, 'systemctl stop bareos' doesn't work either? | 20:57 |
| ioria | Mesp_, in gub remove lines 35-38 | 20:57 |
| lordcirth_ | or "bareos-director" or whatever | 20:57 |
| ioria | Mesp_, 35-38 of the pastebinit | 20:57 |
| seven-eleven | lordcirth_, nope bareos-director stop returns an error, i deleted the service file also | 20:57 |
| seven-eleven | or tried replacing it | 20:57 |
| lordcirth_ | seven-eleven, what error? if you delete it, it won't know how to stop it | 20:58 |
| Mesp | and the default thing? | 20:58 |
| deadrom | lordcirth_, ton of ppas.. give me a moment.. | 20:58 |
| ioria | Mesp_, we add it (v) in line 10 | 20:58 |
| lordcirth_ | deadrom, also, if the ppas are for newer versions of stuff, you might not need some of them in 18.04 | 20:58 |
| ioria | Mesp_, quiet splash i mean | 20:58 |
| seven-eleven | lordcirth_, well i copied nginx.service to bareos-director.service, and when I stop it no error occurs, but the removal still raises an error | 20:58 |
| seven-eleven | invoke-rc.d: initscript bareos-dir, action "stop" failed. | 20:59 |
| lordcirth_ | seven-eleven, I doubt stopping nginx is going to help... | 20:59 |
| deadrom | lordcirth_, I guess, but how to tell | 20:59 |
| Mesp | done | 20:59 |
| ioria | Mesp_, cat /etc/default/grub | pastebinit | 20:59 |
| seven-eleven | lordcirth_, i thought i give it a working systemd unit, I figured nginx.service stop would just return fine | 20:59 |
| seven-eleven | but not working either hmm | 20:59 |
| lordcirth_ | seven-eleven, you could try just killing the process | 21:00 |
| seven-eleven | its not running | 21:00 |
| ioria | Mesp, cat /etc/default/grub | pastebinit | 21:01 |
| Mesp | ioria http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/cJQR8qHyv5/ | 21:02 |
| ioria | Mesp, reboot | 21:02 |
| Mesp_ | ioria done | 21:04 |
| ioria | Mesp, lspci -nnk | pastebinit | 21:04 |
| Mesp_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/GN9VSdqFRm/ | 21:04 |
| causative | when I try shutdown -r now, I get: Operation inhibited by "Package Updater" (PID 1271 "packagekitd", user root), reason is "Package Update in Progress". | 21:04 |
| causative | is it safe to kill this process? | 21:04 |
| deadrom | lordcirth_, disabled most ppas, same result | 21:05 |
| lordcirth_ | deadrom, only most? | 21:05 |
| lordcirth_ | causative, probably not a great idea. Is it using CPU? | 21:05 |
| ioria | Mesp_, sudo update-initramfs -u -k all | 21:06 |
| causative | it's using 1% cpu | 21:06 |
| causative | but I've been getting this problem for hours | 21:06 |
| Mesp_ | ioria done | 21:06 |
| ioria | Mesp_, ever worked that card ? | 21:07 |
| Mesp_ | The MX? I have never used it | 21:07 |
| Mesp_ | The laptop is like a month old and I just tried to access it yesterday | 21:07 |
| causative | perhaps I can kill it and then clean up the aftermath somehow? | 21:07 |
| lordcirth_ | causative, I would kill it, then run 'apt -f install' to make sure nothing was broken | 21:07 |
| Mesp_ | clear | 21:07 |
| causative | ok thanks I'll try | 21:07 |
| thagabe | lordcirth_: Getting back to you about your earlier question about my containers and how they connect to my lan. They are using the default bridge to my nic. My server is using network manager (i believe) enp0s1 i think and the container is using br0 to bridge. | 21:08 |
| ioria | Mesp_, ubuntu-drivers list | pastebinit | 21:09 |
| lordcirth_ | thagabe, then only your router's firewall should be relevant | 21:09 |
| Mesp_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/rrBBwdkz4Z/ | 21:09 |
| Mesp_ | ioria I have to go for a bit, I am leaving freenode on. If you want add my Discord Mephistopheles#3767 | 21:10 |
| ioria | Mesp_, i'am leaving too, keep asking or come back tomorrow, pls | 21:10 |
| deadrom | lordcirth_, no matter what I do, wont go through. disabled all ppas, still no go | 21:10 |
| thagabe | lordcirth_: Wouldn't ubuntu's firewall prevent people from trying to access my serveR? | 21:10 |
| lordcirth_ | thagabe, depends how you configured it, but with the normal bridge, I believe traffic to the container would get sent to the bridge *before* it goes through the firewall. I could be wrong, though. | 21:11 |
| causative | oh lordcirth_ you know what I bet it is, now that I'm running apt-get upgrade, it's prompting me a million times for my password to my encrypted swap partition, maybe packagekitd was stuck there | 21:12 |
| seven-eleven | http://dpaste.com/0XDX55D | 21:12 |
| lordcirth_ | causative, seems likely | 21:12 |
| causative | idk how to fix that or if it's worth the effort | 21:13 |
| lordcirth_ | causative, is your swap not set up correctly? | 21:13 |
| causative | probably it's not | 21:13 |
| causative | or I wouldn't have this problem | 21:13 |
| causative | the swap is working during normal operation though | 21:14 |
| lordcirth_ | seven-eleven, looks like it's trying to stop it through systemd, failing, then trying to stop it with invoke-rc | 21:14 |
| causative | so idk why it only causes a problem here | 21:14 |
| lordcirth_ | causative, for now, you could perhaps just swap-off | 21:14 |
| seven-eleven | lordcirth_, can i not create a fake invoke-rc file that just returns 0 indicating stop worked fine | 21:14 |
| lordcirth_ | seven-eleven, look for the script in /etc/init.d | 21:14 |
| seven-eleven | ok | 21:14 |
| seven-eleven | lordcirth_, thanks that worked | 21:16 |
| seven-eleven | i simple replaced /etc/init.d/bareos with #!/bin/bash echo 1 | 21:16 |
| rypervenche | causative: Why not change your swap to be passwordless and get its key from /dev/urandom? | 21:17 |
| seven-eleven | now its removed fine :-) | 21:17 |
| lordcirth_ | seven-eleven, good | 21:17 |
| lordcirth_ | rypervenche, causative, yes, *if* you don't need hibernate, that is the best way | 21:17 |
| causative | I do need hibernate | 21:17 |
| rypervenche | Ahhh. | 21:17 |
| rypervenche | I came in late to the conversation. Ignore me then :) | 21:18 |
| causative | hibernate has been working anyway and the swap appears to be getting filled on system monitor, so I don't know why there's a problem here | 21:18 |
| causative | it also doesn't seem to matter what I enter for pw here, I can just hit enter and the upgrade continues without errors | 21:18 |
| lordcirth_ | That's odd | 21:19 |
| causative | well, except this error: https://pastebin.com/ZQuJ2ued | 21:20 |
| causative | which seems more of a warning | 21:20 |
| causative | I'm out, thanks for advice | 21:20 |
| lordcirth_ | perhaps your /etc/fstab and /etc/crypttab swap entries are mismatched | 21:21 |
| Mesp_ | Hello guys, I am back so yeah my problem is that my laptop doesn't seem to recognize my MX150 and instead uses the integrated and I haven't found a fix | 22:02 |
| seven-eleven | wow that's bad, first time I noticed an app actually removed something from /etc/, not good :-) | 22:10 |
| wasser2flasche | Hey, I want to watch Netflix on Chromium and saw that you need something called widevine for that. Debian offers a .deb package containing this, so can I just install Debian's package on my Ubuntu or is that incompatible? | 22:18 |
| wasser2flasche | I have downloaded it manually from Debian's website, can I install it with dpki -i or would that be bad because it is made for Debian and not Ubuntu? | 22:18 |
| wasser2flasche | *dpkg -i | 22:19 |
| OerHeks | no, just enable DRM on FF and install a codec https://linuxconfig.org/watch-netflix-on-ubuntu-18-04-bionic-beaver-linux | 22:20 |
| OerHeks | and google chrome should do this native, without hw rendering | 22:21 |
| wasser2flasche | So there is no possibility to make Chromium work with Netflix? | 22:21 |
| OerHeks | i have no clue with chromium and widevine | 22:23 |
| wasser2flasche | Oh well, I don't like Firefox but better than nothing... Thank you OerHeks | 22:28 |
