[00:02] <jayjo> I'm struggling to pair an apple keyboard to ubuntu 18.10 - when the bluetooth manager starts the process it will freeze
[00:02] <jayjo> is there a way to kill it?
[00:05] <tomreyn> jayjo: if it's a process it can be killed. i'm not sure which one it is, though. the low level bluetooth commands start with 'hci'
[00:06] <Sven_vB> jayjo, you could try the bluetoothctl interactive shell for more detailed progress info
[00:24] <KingBull> ls
[00:25] <Geo> ok, that seems to have done it
[00:26] <Geo> thanks
[00:26] <Geo> well, at least it boots now
[00:26] <Geo> I'm sure there are more alligators lurking
[00:27] <iosecure> Good to hear.
[00:35] <technix64> ls
[00:36] <technix64> Oops...sorry on that. Anyone getting error messages when attempting to update via ppa.launchpad.net?
[00:37] <madmangun> I was about to ask that myself
[00:37] <madmangun> ppa.launchpad.net is down for me as well
[00:37] <madmangun> https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ppa.launchpad.net
[00:40] <madmangun> It's back online now.
[00:40] <technix64> Wonderful!
[01:12] <Geo> ok, making the switch to Thunderbird from Outlook. I have an archive pst on a shared drive in Outlook. I understand that I need to convert that, but I don't see an option that allows me to create a 'local' file on a shared drive, not local machine. Any thoughts on how to accomplish this?
[01:33] <Mcl0vin> any reason why downloading ubuntu-18.04.1.0-live-server-amd64.iso keeps failing? I tried multiple mirrors
[01:34] <xamithan> maybe your connection is bad
[01:35] <Mcl0vin> xamithan: i have been trying since yesterday
[01:35] <xamithan> Try a download manager then so you can resume gracefully,  or a torrent
[01:36] <xamithan> http://releases.ubuntu.com/bionic/
[01:37] <Mcl0vin> xamithan: will take the torrent route . Thank you
[01:37] <xamithan> I usually do that too,  faster and it self-verifys
[01:38] <ikatamoonshots> mclovin, i hcecked after your comment, got only 10kbs downstream, the link ximithian works , got 10 mbs downstream there
[01:39] <Mcl0vin> ikatamoonshots: yeah i used torrent and since my last comment it is downloaded now
[01:39] <Mcl0vin> thumbs up
[01:40] <ikatamoonshots> alternatively, maybe give xubuntu a shot, same as main ubuntu but xfce instead of gnome https://xubuntu.org/download/
[01:40] <ikatamoonshots> i like both xD
[01:41] <usr1987> i moved to xubuntu from ubuntu too... too bloaded and can't get over the side bar thing
[01:42] <ikatamoonshots> i use it for my netbook, only xfce really works there lol
[01:42] <Mcl0vin> usr1987: ubuntu is too bloaded or xbuntu
[01:42] <xamithan> I don't know how you guys use xfce.  its so unmodern.  Although I guess I should talk I use it on my core2duo laptop with 1gb ram
[01:43] <ikatamoonshots> its relaible and low resource usage
[01:44] <usr1987> I would bumt that ram to 2-4 Gb for best results... most its used by the browser
[01:45] <ikatamoonshots> netbook is a x240 with i5, it runs hot like a toaster with anything else xDS
[01:45] <xamithan> Nah I'm not upgrading that old thing,  its not even 64-bit
[01:46] <ryuo> yea, what are people thinking? lubuntu is where it's at. \o/
[01:46] <ryuo> lol
[01:47] <ikatamoonshots> never tried it
[01:47] <usr1987> lubuntu sucks... I have tried it and has a lot of issues
[01:47] <usr1987> heck galculator can't do %
[01:47] <xamithan> Tried lubuntu,  it would not install
[01:47] <ikatamoonshots> gnome and xfce have been the most relaible to me
[01:48] <ryuo> i sometimes wonder why they bother with KDE flavor. since KDE5, i've yet to find a release that didn't suffer from stability issues...
[01:48] <usr1987> I agree with that... KDE to me feels so weird, more like win95
[01:48] <xamithan> Whats wrong with KDE? Its my daily driver
[01:49] <ryuo> xamithan: random crashes that made it insufferable for me in the past.
[01:49] <ryuo> otherwise nothing.
[01:49] <xamithan> in the past =)
[01:49] <ryuo> yes, but last I checked it still occurs.
[01:50] <ryuo> So... I gave up and went to GTK+ based solutions.
[01:50] <ryuo> The last time I remember it being stable was KDE4.
[01:50] <ryuo> Are you saying they've finally fixed their stability issues?
[01:50] <ikatamoonshots> i like the kde gimmiks, its nice shiny but then things break, well that was a few years back with <12.04
[01:50] <ryuo> I also remember KDE4 was crappy when it started.
[01:51] <ryuo> Has KDE5 finally reached some state of usability?
[01:51] <xamithan> They still break some configs between versions
[01:51] <ryuo> I haven't tried it on Bionic, at least. I last tried it on Xenial.
[01:51] <ikatamoonshots> idk , dont have a spare pc to try right now xD
[01:51] <xamithan> A simple wipe and regen of the config files fixes it though
[01:52] <usr1987> Ryuo... from my point no... I find it bloaded on ammount of file it installs and uses
[01:52] <usr1987> its sems everyone wants its own app, even doing the same thing
[01:52] <ryuo> usr1987: I don't care about that. I always concerned about its frequent crashes.
[01:52] <ryuo> Major usability issue in any software.
[01:53] <ryuo> I liked how it could preserve my live sessions fairly well between reboots.
[01:53] <ryuo> But, I had to abandon it for other practicality reasons.
[01:53] <ikatamoonshots> when i started to use linux for work stability was the main concern
[01:53] <ryuo> I hated having plasma crash when I started full screen video.
[01:53] <epicmetal> I'm waiting for this to be closed before I try KDE again https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=162211
[01:53] <xamithan> Is that a kde bug or a file manager bug ?
[01:53] <ryuo> It didn't always happen but it was annoying when it did.
[01:54] <epicmetal> xamithan: frameworks-kio, so KDE
[01:54] <xamithan> Mmm,  well all my externals are NFS
[01:54] <epicmetal> I don't trust it can do non-USB correctly
[01:54] <ryuo> Ouch...
[01:55] <ryuo> Admittedly i've seen some crashes with cinnamon, but not very often.
[01:55] <usr1987> from my view ubuntu  then mate/xfce
[01:55] <usr1987> the rest had issue for me
[01:55] <epicmetal> It seems to me that barebones standalone apps, while being a pain to configure, are probably the least buggy way to use Linux
[01:56] <xamithan> Well of course the gnome2 de and xfce that has been around forever have less issues
[01:56] <epicmetal> s/the gnome2 de/MATE/
[01:56] <epicmetal> Xfce used to crash consistenly when copying files between Thunar tabs, but I think they fixed that one iteration ago
[01:57] <ryuo> I still remember how glitchy GTK webkit browsers were.
[01:57] <ryuo> Midori in particular.
[01:57] <ryuo> I've heard webkit2 has resolved those issues.
[01:58] <usr1987> I use firefox
[01:58] <ryuo> which seems to get worse with every release. :/
[01:58] <lotuspsychje> !discuss
[01:58] <lotuspsychje> focus on the support issues here guys
[02:00] <epicmetal> lotuspsychje: 59 and 125 users respectively, versus 1135... it'd be nice if #ubuntu users were somehow auto-joined to those channels
[02:00] <epicmetal> But I suppose that would just annoy people
[02:00] <epicmetal> Not to mention probably not possible technically
[02:01] <lotuspsychje> epicmetal: you can talk all night in discuss
[02:01] <ryuo> no, they're right. channel should just be silent when there's nothing to support.
[02:01]  * epicmetal shrugs
[03:14] <pikia> would it be better for me to just copy over my home folder, or try and find a thrid party app to transfer over my entire ubuntu partiton?
[03:14] <Geo> context helps
[03:15] <pikia> About to buy a new SSD. Old SSD has a windows partition and an ubuntu partition. I'm looking for the easiest way to migrate my data to new drive
[03:19] <leonardus> I hate how GNOME removed the application tray. Why would they do that???? it was so useful.
[03:20] <epicmetal> leonardus: get topicons plus extension
[03:21] <kk4ewt> leonardus, look at the tweak-tool and gnome-shell-extension(s)
[03:21] <leonardus> pikia: I have a product key for Acronis True Image migration software, do you want that?
[03:21] <leonardus> I'm not going to use it
[03:22] <leftyfb> leonardus: I would not recommend that....
[03:22] <leonardus> why, it's bad?
[03:22] <pikia> Is a 3rd party app the best solution for me?
[03:23] <leftyfb> pikia: Install Windows on the new SSD first. Then install Ubuntu. Then copy your /home from backup onto the new /home
[03:24] <pikia> Yeah, I think that is what I'm going to have to do
[03:24] <leftyfb> pikia: it is the cleanest and quickest way
[03:26] <pikia> I'm assuming any of my MYSQL setups and other things are gone even if I copy over my home folder
[03:26] <leftyfb> correct. That's what you restore from proper backup
[03:27] <pikia> Would you reommend a good way to do that?
[03:29] <leftyfb> pikia: if you do not have backups, then the data is unimportant
[03:31] <pikia> You're right haha. I'm just lazy and I don't want to set up my enviroment again.
[03:31] <pikia> Maybe next time, i'lljust do a clean setup and then make a backup so I can restore from it easily
[03:32] <ikatamoonshots> pikita, im using apt-get installation lists like this "xargs -a <(awk '/^\s*[^#]/' "$APTLSTDIR/essential.txt") -r -- sudo apt-get install -y" to install all my apt packages on a new setup so i dont have to type to install all apps one by one. Same for /home/$USER/ configs, so i just need to run a script on a new install and everyting is back in place
[03:32] <pikia> huh, thats super smart
[03:33] <ikatamoonshots> takes a bit time to setup but time saved accumulated over time is a lot - if you have multiple setups even better - every setup has its own script , write one time && enjoy forever xD
[03:34] <pikia> Thats honestly really really smart haha.
[03:34] <pikia> Do you use GNOME as youre DM?
[03:34] <pikia> Or do you like stuff like i3gaps
[03:35] <ikatamoonshots> gnome and xfce mostly
[04:28] <Roden> this keyboard has no way to turn off its backlight
[04:29] <Roden> in gnome, how do you increase your font sizes and things like that?

[06:18] <pi0> how do i increase screens on ubuntu laptop
[06:18] <cfhowlett> you mean number of displays??
[06:19] <cfhowlett> or number of desktops?
[06:19] <pi0> well i have a loptop
[06:19] <pi0> and i want to make the resolution higher
[06:19] <pi0> right now appears cluttered
[06:19] <cfhowlett> system > settings > display
[06:20] <pi0> 1366 x 768, but i want higher
[06:20] <pi0> however it is not shown
[06:21] <SlidingHorn> !resolution | pi0
[06:23] <pi0> hmm even increasing to resolutions higher than recommended?
[06:28] <pi0> i ran xrandr
[06:28] <pi0> same size available in settings
[06:31] <pi0> Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1366 x 768, maximum 8192 x 8192
[06:31] <tomvolek> HI guys: on a recently installed ubuntu 18.04 , i added and removed few desktops to see which ones would perform better.  Now all of a sudden i cant reboot. At reboot it lands in initramfs prompt and keyboard becomes disabbled , can not input anything , have to pwer cycle the box. My keyboard is a wireless keyboard.
[06:35] <pi0> SlidingHorn: how can i manually set it larger?
[06:36] <SlidingHorn> pi0: check the link ubottu posted - it's under "adding undetected resolutions"
[06:37] <ashkitten> why does certbot have both a systemd timer and a cron entry?
[06:37] <pi0> will do
[06:50] <lotuspsychje_> tomvolek: is your system up to date?
[06:51] <tomvolek> lotuspsychje_:  yes before i starting to add new desktop and its managers to try which one is better performing on my hp proliant dl 360 G6 ,  I had run apt update
[06:52] <lotuspsychje_> tomvolek: check uname -a to be sure please?
[06:54] <tomvolek> lotuspsychje_: right now after reboot i end up in initramfs  , i cant inout anything ..
[06:54] <tomvolek> keyboard doest work at all .. so i am stuck, tried to boot up with recovery , its the same way ...
[06:54] <lotuspsychje_> tomvolek: can you still access a tty before login?
[06:55] <tomvolek> how ?   system doesnt boot
[06:55] <tomvolek> so no services are loaded, no kernel loaded
[06:55] <lotuspsychje_> tomvolek: that sounds like really scrambled then, what happens when you try to boot a kernel in recovery?
[06:56] <tomvolek> it ends up the same place ...ie.
[06:56] <lotuspsychje_> right
[06:56] <tomvolek> i.e. initramfs prompt ... i can't type anything at this moment
[06:57] <lotuspsychje_> tomvolek: i think your case, instead of trying to recover, try reinstall?
[06:57] <tomvolek> ya, unfortunalty i think thats only option ...
[06:57] <tomvolek> good thing i did not have much data on this sucker
[06:57] <lotuspsychje_> tomvolek: perhaps first try a liveusb
[06:58] <tomvolek> to do what with it ?
[06:58] <lotuspsychje_> tomvolek: to test if you can still enter
[06:58] <tomvolek> I need to check the disks to make sure they are ok .. I am thinking maybe superblock got screwed up
[06:58] <tomvolek> lotuspsychje_:  i boot from livecd and then do what ?
[06:59] <lotuspsychje_> tomvolek: then at least you still can live boot :p
[06:59] <lotuspsychje_> tomvolek: after that, your choice, reinstall,..
[06:59] <tomvolek> oh .... let me try ..be back in few
[07:01] <tomvolek> ya, this is an older HP prolient dl360 G6 server. i was setting it up as a server , it has two 900G disk setup as 1+0 raid
[07:02] <tomvolek> it was working fine,,  i tried to install GUI , then noticed desktop is really slow ...
[07:02] <pi0> how do i find the output
[07:02] <tomvolek> so I tried to change the desktop manager ...
[07:04] <SlidingHorn> pi0: what do you mean
[07:08] <pi0> xrander -addmode needs sudo?

[07:21] <pi0> nice
[07:22] <pi0> now i need to increase font size
[07:34] <pi0> SlidingHorn: very nice! now i need to setup my hp wireless printer

[08:22] <elias_a> cfhowlett: I was wondering where a binary the sw needs would be installed until I realized it is a snap...
[08:23] <cfhowlett> I only know the link. No direct experience with snaps.
[08:26] <elias_a> Ok. Thanks.
[08:26] <SlidingHorn> elias_a: if you're asking where snap binaries are installed, it's in /snap/bin/
[08:27] <elias_a> SlidingHorn: Actually I was wondering another thing. Let me explain.
[08:28] <joyce72> Hiya, I have set up a website on a server running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Scaleway VPS), I have set up postfix, and followed some configuration guides, but the server doesn't seem to be able to send any mails. What should I do?
[08:29] <SlidingHorn> joyce72: which configuration guide(s), exactly?  What do the logs say when you try to send an email?  Any error messages?  More detailed questions make it easier for folks to help :)
[08:30] <elias_a> I was told mkvmerge is able to join a multitude of mpg files into one mkv video file. However matroska-tools did not include that as it seems to be a snap.
[08:30] <joyce72> SlidingHorn: Said guide is here: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-configure-postfix-as-a-send-only-smtp-server-on-ubuntu-16-04
[08:30] <joyce72> I have tried to check /var/log/mail.log
[08:30] <pi0> brb
[08:30] <joyce72> tail: cannot open '/var/log/maillog' for reading: No such file or directory
[08:31] <cfhowlett> joyce72, might be worth asking #ubuntu-server
[08:31] <SlidingHorn> joyce72: looks like you forgot a period
[08:31] <joyce72> tail: cannot open '/var/log/mail.log' for reading: No such file or directory
[08:31] <SlidingHorn> joyce72: also, any reason you weren't using the guide for 18.04: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-configure-postfix-on-ubuntu-18-04
[08:32] <joyce72> That's because I am running a website, and usually, postfix configured for an internet site doesn't give me any problems
[08:33] <joyce72> right now however, I get no error messages
[08:33] <joyce72> I see no email coming into my mailbox
[08:33] <SlidingHorn> joyce72: well, the guide you're following is for SMTP (send-only), so you wouldn't be receiving any
[08:34] <joyce72> yup, so if say, my site is has a contact us form
[08:34] <joyce72> the site (wordpress) would usually just need to send the mail to my email address
[08:35] <joyce72> I would manually reply to said email using my email service provider
[08:35] <joyce72> Hence a send-only configuration is what I believe I should be doing here
[08:38] <elias_a> joyce72: Would it be possible to use the SMTP server of your ISP? Sending from a relatively rarely used SMTP could cause to the email interpreted as spam.
[08:38] <konrados> Hello! I have xenial. Long time ago I installed a program (kdevelop) via apt-get install..., and now I wanted to install a newer version, I found this: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdevelop but ... the newest versions are for "Cosmic Cuttlefish" (who makes names btw?) Anyway - what can I do? Are they really dependent on... IDK, newest ubuntu?
[08:39] <joyce72> elias_a: Well I could try, but even if so, shouldn't the email show up in spam than to not show up at all?
[08:39] <cfhowlett> konrados, what version are you running at present?
[08:40] <konrados> cfhowlett, that would be... 4.7.3 (circa 2014 apparently:))
[08:40] <cfhowlett> konrados, what UBUNTU version?
[08:41] <konrados> cfhowlett, oh, it's xenial. with KDE, anything more should I provide?
[08:41] <konrados> it's 14.x
[08:41] <cfhowlett> xenial = 16.4
[08:41] <konrados> 16!
[08:41] <konrados> yes - "Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS"
[08:42] <konrados> sorry, yes, it's 16.04, so, what do I do?
[08:42] <SlidingHorn> konrados: looking at that PPA, i see a repo for xenial...
[08:42] <SlidingHorn> !ppa | konrados see this message though -
[08:42] <SlidingHorn> https://launchpad.net/~kdevelop/+archive/ubuntu/release/
[08:43] <elias_a> joyce72: Both alternatives are possible. Running an SMTP server for a single purpose is not very wise as you still have to keep it up to date maintenancewise etc.
[08:43] <elias_a> joyce72: Depending on where your server is the SMTP port might even be blocked.
[08:44] <joyce72> I am checking that now
[08:45] <joyce72> But I am sure that SMTP isn't blocked
[08:45] <joyce72> cause I am receiving mails from the server about failed logins and tempbans
[08:45] <joyce72> But I can't seem to get anything else to send a mail
[08:48] <elias_a> joyce72: Are you receiving that mail to the inbox in same server or elsewhere?
[08:48] <konrados> SlidingHorn, ok, thanks! But... may I know how did you find it? I clicked every single link here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdevelop :)
[08:49] <konrados> I think I need to take a course about using this site o.O
[08:49] <SlidingHorn> konrados: i searched duckduckgo for kdevelop launchpad
[08:49] <joyce72> elias_a: I receive those mails in gmail
[08:51] <konrados> SlidingHorn, ok! Got it! Thanks again :)
[08:52] <joyce72> The situation is a little interesting. When I set up the server, my friends were trying to negotiate for ownership of a domain, so what happened was that wordpress was installed and accessed by the public IP of the server, I set up wordpress with my gmail account as the site admin email
[08:53] <joyce72> Then when we got the domain, I also proceeded to set-up an account with an external mail service, and have the domain setup with a record to that mail service
[08:53] <elias_a> joyce72: That surely goes beyond my abilities. Hope someone can help.
[08:53] <joyce72> so now, I am trying to set the site admin email to my email being hosted on that servive
[08:53] <joyce72> *service
[08:54] <joyce72> so Wordpress tries to send a confirmation email
[08:54] <joyce72> never received
[08:54] <joyce72> but my gmail is still receiving reports of failed logins and tempbans from the wordpress install
[08:56] <joyce72> I SSH in, and use mailx to send a test email, which never gets received either
[08:57] <joyce72> Ohhhh
[08:57] <joyce72> I think I know what's up
[08:58] <joyce72> So I send a test email to my gmail account
[08:58] <joyce72> It ends up as spam and is received
[08:58] <joyce72> It could be that the email hosting service I use outright rejects it
[08:59] <ducasse> that should show up in the logs
[09:12] <PeetV>  /buffer 1
[09:45] <joyce72> Hiya, so I posted a little earlier about the issue with mailing
[09:45] <joyce72> so I decided to just get the details of my mail service provider
[09:45] <joyce72> and just use their SMTP service :P
[09:46] <elias_a> How do I read variables to a command with a script?
[09:46] <elias_a> joyce72: That's a wise move.
[09:46] <joyce72> Well, I'm happy to say that it works instead of messing around with all of the settings and things like that
[09:47] <SlidingHorn> elias_a: Sounds a little out of the scope of this channel, but hard to tell without more info...
[09:49] <elias_a> I am trying to solve this: as the syntax of mkvmerge command is: mkvmerge -o outfile.mkv file1.mpg + file2.mpg + file3.mpg...
[09:49] <elge> Hello there.  I've enabled TMEM (Transcendent Memory) on a custom XEN domU kernel and although it behaves normally with slackware and debian, the ubuntu guests have really less memory usage than expected.  The dynamic memory allocation goes down to 133MB which is far less than the optimal minimum amount of memory and for buff/cache to be happy
[09:49] <elge> what makes the ubuntu guest memory be different from other ones?
[09:51] <elias_a> ... and I have learned that how to get a script to read the file names in a directory, the only problem is I cannot understand how the script is used as an argument giving the infile names.
[09:51] <SlidingHorn> elias_a: this might point you in the right direction:
[09:51] <SlidingHorn> https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/198954
[09:52] <SlidingHorn> (mostly pay attention to the way the for loop is done)
[09:55] <elias_a> SlidingHorn: I am really terrible in scripting. Isn't my case quite the opposite - the command should take a script to feed a series of arguments?
[09:59] <SlidingHorn> elias_a: This isn't my specialty either, but try setting your script to call something like 'mkvmerg -o $1 $@'  where $1 would be the output file, and $@ is a a variable for any number of arguments.  I don't know if both can be used in succession like that though.  You might want to try asking in #bash?
[09:59] <elias_a> Let me ask in a different way: I have a list of the filenames I try to use. I also found out a way how to print the file names correctly in a terminal : while read file; do printf "$file +"; done < /home/nakka/Videot/filelist.txt
[10:00] <elias_a> How do I use this last thing as a variable when running the command?
[10:01] <elias_a> SlidingHorn: Thanks - I'll ask there if I cannot solve this.
[10:04] <ducasse> elias_a: if you just want the list in a variable, 'var=$(while read file; do printf "$file +"; done < /home/nakka/Videot/filelist.txt)'
[10:05] <SlidingHorn> elias_a: even better: https://stackoverflow.com/a/4229151  <~~ Do something like this...what would make it even better is to make bash automatically assign the output file name (your -o  flag) as a timeanddate type function
[10:07] <elias_a> ducasse: Thanks - I'll give that a shot.
[10:09] <elias_a> SlidingHorn: Thanks - I need to give the name of the output file manually in this case.
[10:17] <arekm> hi, which script/program prints "Gave up waiting for root device" message in ubuntu? (the one in initrd like https://askubuntu.com/questions/247541/gave-up-waiting-for-root-device-on-ubuntu)
[10:18] <arekm> trying to find it (and then its cource code)
[10:18] <SlidingHorn> elias_a: Try this (if you're cool with the output name being a time & date, and as long as there are no spaces in your input file names) https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/FX9J9kMsgj/
[10:19] <SlidingHorn> elias_a: so you would just run ./myscript input.txt
[10:22] <elias_a> SlidingHorn: I do not understand how that could work. Where are the input files defined?
[10:23] <SlidingHorn> elias_a: you said you had them listed in a text file...you would just run the script using the text file as the argument:   ./myscript filelist.txt
[10:23] <elias_a> SlidingHorn: Ok. Now I get it. Thanks!
[10:25]  * SlidingHorn gives self a cookie for making a bash script
[10:31] <SlidingHorn> arekm: I'm not 100% sure, but that may be a message from the kernel itself...see here for some possibly relevant info: https://askubuntu.com/a/522987
[10:32] <elias_a> SlidingHorn: No luck yet. I'll have to dig into this later. Thanks for your help.
[10:34] <arekm> SlidingHorn: oh, thanks
[10:38] <SlidingHorn> elias_a: what's your filelist.txt look like?  Is it each file name on a new line?
[10:41] <elias_a> SlidingHorn: Yes.
[10:42] <SlidingHorn> did it give any errors?
[10:42] <elias_a> SlidingHorn: Command not found.
[10:42] <Roden> ubuntu keeps breaking my computers via firefox
[10:43] <Roden> is there a better browser for ubuntu de?
[10:44] <SlidingHorn> elias_a: you would need to save the script, make sure it's executable (chmod +x scriptname), then run it from the directory in which it resides
[10:45] <SlidingHorn> Roden: What is "breaking," and how?
[10:46] <elias_a> SlidingHorn: I did exactly that.
[10:46] <Roden> top 'web content' spikes
[10:46] <Roden> 130% cpu usage
[10:47] <SlidingHorn> elias_a: okay, just in case, instead of running it as ./myscript, try instead doing:    sh myscript filelist.txt
[10:47] <Roden> and eventually the computers overheat and the processors break.
[10:47] <Roden> this will be the 4th computer that has died by overheating.
[10:47] <Roden> and they die fairly quickly.
[10:47] <Roden> like a few weeks
[10:47] <SlidingHorn> Roden: What are the specs on these computers?
[10:47] <Roden> they're all different, and it really has nothing to do with that.  They're new computers well above the recommended specs for ubuntu desktop
[10:47] <elias_a> SlidingHorn: Oh - there was a typo in th name of the command - mkvmerg instead of mkvmerge. :)
[10:48] <Roden> chrome shouldn't behave this way.
[10:48] <SlidingHorn> elias_a: AH!  My bad
[10:49] <Roden> I'm purging it.
[10:49] <Roden> I mean ff shouldn't behave this way.
[10:49] <SlidingHorn> Roden: you're welcome to try other browsers, but I don't think it's very likely that this is a problem with Firefox.  There's chromium (sudo apt install chromium-browser), Brave (if you're okay with snaps:  sudo snap install brave)
[10:50] <Roden> What's brave?
[10:50] <SlidingHorn> Roden: another browser...based off chromium
[10:50] <Roden> probably i should try it.  i've been trying everything (except guys)
[10:50] <SlidingHorn> ?
[10:51]  * Roden points his sword at the ceiling.  A curtain of light washes over the air, slowly revealing a struggling creature.  Standing about 1 meter high, Roden gently flicks it off his sword and into a nearby corner.
[10:52] <Katnip> brave has a background from one of the original netscape guys years back
[10:52] <Roden> Cave alien.
[12:27] <BluesKaj> Howdy all

[12:56] <B1ack0p> hi
[12:56] <B1ack0p> i dont know why opera doesnt stream videos :/
[12:56] <B1ack0p> it works sometime and doesnt sometime..
[12:56] <B1ack0p> codecs installed already
[12:56] <B1ack0p> i dont know what can be the problem
[13:02] <Tin_man> use firefox, use chromium, or any other that does stream videos..
[13:02] <B1ack0p> i like opera for vpn
[13:03] <ioria> B1ack0p, what kind of stream you cannot watch ?
[13:06] <B1ack0p> movie stream ioria
[13:06] <B1ack0p> not famous one
[13:06] <B1ack0p> it is simple website
[13:06] <B1ack0p> works when i enable vpn
[13:10] <ioria> B1ack0p, then, i don't think it's about codecs or flash
[13:13] <adrian_1908> B1ack0p: I didn't read your earlier messages, but if a stream works with VPN and not without, could it be it's limited to certain regions (ip-ranges)?
[13:41] <bodie_> hi, I'm on Ubuntu 18.10.  One of my PPA's has changed name and I'm getting the following error: "This must be accepted explicitly before updates for this repository can be applied."  How can I accept it?
[13:42] <bodie_> Nvm, looks like this is pretty easy to resolve just by using apt instead of apt-get.
[14:21] <k12buntu> hello
[14:22] <k12buntu> I need some help
[14:23] <k12buntu> hello
[14:24] <olegb> k12buntu: just ask a question :-)
[15:16] <lectus> Hi! I have a brand new laptop and it came with Windows 10. I want to install Ubuntu 18.04 LTS in a dual boot setup. I've done dual boot in the past, but this laptop came with a recovery partition. I want to resize the Windows partition and keep the recovery partition, and then install Ubuntu on the free space, having both systems bootable through grub. Any idea on how this can be done?
[15:18] <Mathisen> lectus, resize in windows, and make sure it is the "end" "right" side of the drive that is free space for ubuntu and you are good
[15:20] <lectus> Mathisen: That's what I thought of doing. Will Ubuntu installer detect the partitions and install grub corretly?
[15:20] <Mathisen> someone else need to answer that im not an current ubuntu user myself i use diffrent dist and always manual install grub
[15:20] <CookieM> I think that ubuntu installer will see the windows and recovery partitions as a “combo” and will propose a fair half-cut for both Windows and Ubuntu
[15:21] <lectus> I always use the advanced option of the Ubuntu installer... so in mind I can format the free space as EXT4
[15:22] <lectus> I don't know if that would work though (never done it keeping a recovery partition)
[15:23] <BluesKaj> lectus, afaik, ubuntu will auto install to the empty partition and install grub near the end of the installation...anyone correct me if I'm wrong
[15:24] <BluesKaj> lectus, if you choose the auto install
[15:26] <BluesKaj> and if the empty partition is formatted to ext4
[15:29] <clackety> BluesKaj I believe you are correct, but on my last install grub installed alongside windows bootloader in the existing ESP partition and essentially used all of the unformatted space for the ubuntu install.  I didn't need to preformat the empty space
[15:30] <clackety> lectus, I resized my windows partition using gparted on ubuntu live environment and then ran the installer and it worked fine for me.  your mileage may vary however.
[15:45] <simpledat> Hi is intel-microcode installed by default for Ubuntu?
[15:49] <BluesKaj> simpledat, think so, it's installed on my system, and i don't recall installing it manually
[15:50] <simpledat> How do I check if intel-microcode is installed or not?
[15:51] <BluesKaj> look in your package manager
[15:52] <BluesKaj> or run,  sudo apt list intel-microcode
[15:52] <simpledat> BluesKaj: How can I check it in terminal?
[15:53] <simpledat> BluesKaj: https://paste.debian.net/1056131/
[15:53] <simpledat> Does that mean that I have it installed?
[15:54] <BluesKaj> hmm, try sudo apt install intel-microcode, then you 'll know for sure
[15:55] <simpledat> BluesKaj: https://paste.debian.net/1056132/
[15:55] <BluesKaj> hit enter
[15:56] <BluesKaj> it will install
[15:57] <BluesKaj> simpledat, if you're running debian then you should be asking your questions in the #debian chat
[15:58] <simpledat> BluesKaj: I dont understand why Ubuntu installing it by default and debian not. They claim that debian is more about freedom of choice. But I looking at it as a security risk?
[15:58] <simpledat> I mean, who doesnt want to be secure?
[15:59] <BluesKaj> no, freedomod choice is correct, debian leaves a lot of packages out of the initial install, you just have to install them yourself
[16:00] <BluesKaj> freedom of
[16:00] <BluesKaj> has nothing to do with security
[16:01] <simpledat> BluesKaj: Well vulnerable is a security risk, dont you think so?
[16:01] <BluesKaj> notg at all
[16:02] <BluesKaj> not vulnerable, where did you get that idea anyway?
[16:02] <BluesKaj> it's not
[16:02] <simpledat> BluesKaj: Please check this https://paste.debian.net/1056128/
[16:02] <simpledat> /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/spec_store_bypass:Vulnerable
[16:02] <simpledat> Yes, I have the latest BIOS version.
[16:03] <BluesKaj> simpledat, I suggest you ask in debian , not here
[16:18] <lolcat-007> it is possible to do a full iphone back up without itunes in ubuntu or is there a similar app like itunes in ubuntu
[16:18] <lolcat-007> ?
[16:26] <danst> lolcat-007: use virtual machine
[16:29] <lolcat-007> danst: i heard that doing iphone back up with virtual machine gives too many errors
[16:43] <coconut> Would an "Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 9560" work with ubuntu?
[16:44] <leftyfb> lolcat-007: the answer is no. Use icloud/iTunes
[16:46] <lolcat-007> leftyfb: that is taking so long
[16:47] <TR2990WX> I downloaded an AppImage file then opened it. Ran the app for awhile then closed it. Then I moved the AppImage file to another location.. Now Ubuntu stillkeep looking for the AppImage file in the old location.
[16:47] <MrAureliusR> hey, is there a channel for the budgie DM/Ubuntu Budgie?
[16:48] <MrAureliusR> I'm getting some odd UI things after I ran a videogame the other day
[16:48] <leftyfb> TR2990WX: contact the developer of the appimage. Appimages aren't an official ubuntu support packaging solution
[16:48] <ovrh> MrAureliusR, #ubuntu-budgie ? Not a whole lot of people in there though
[16:48] <leftyfb> !budgie | MrAureliusR
[16:48] <ovrh> Also, hello!
[16:49] <coconut> MrAureliusR: use /msg alis list budgie
[16:50] <MrAureliusR> I asked in #ubuntu+1 thanks
[16:51] <ovrh> I'm back to bother you guys with a new problem. Do you know if there was a recent update to ubuntu 18.04 that disrupted the wired connectivity capabilities? Right now my Ubuntu works fine over wifi, but wired doesn't work at all
[16:51] <leftyfb> MrAureliusR: ubuntu+1 isn't the correct place either.
[16:51] <MrAureliusR> it literally just said that in the message I gotr
[16:51] <MrAureliusR> ...
[16:51] <MrAureliusR> oh
[16:51] <MrAureliusR> sigh
[16:51] <MrAureliusR> that's for the development version
[16:51] <MrAureliusR> why did you ping me with that?
[16:52] <leftyfb> MrAureliusR: of ubuntu, not budgie
[17:59] <irgendwer4711> hi, I have a problem with Firefox and AppArmor, since FF update to 64. I cant open downloaded files via download window "apparmor="DENIED" operation="exec"  name="/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/glib-2.0/gio-launch-desktop"
[19:07] <catnap> I'm considering an Ubuntu phone. Are those practical? Any experiences?
[19:10] <B0g4r7> Stupid laptop.
[19:11] <B0g4r7> Wife changed the user password and forgot it, and grub somehow isn't able to use the display, so I'm booting blind.
[19:11] <tomreyn> !phone | catnap
[19:12] <catnap> Wow! The question is automated. Obviously, I have been away for a while.
[19:12] <B0g4r7> ...and thus am unable to edit the boot args to boot into single-user mode.
[19:12] <tomreyn> catnap: summing it up, the ubuntu touch / phone development efforts of canonical have ceased, there is #ubports where volunteers (try to?) keep it alive.
[19:13] <Erica647> I'm having trouble with the calendar on ubuntu desktop 18.10... it's crashing when I try to setup and use a gmail account.
[19:15] <Erica647> Is that a known issue?
[19:18] <tomreyn> only if there's a bug report on it
[19:19] <ahi2_> never had this problem on my acer 4750G laptop. install fails at grub. says something about uefi but im installing in legacy mode with msdos. any ideas?
[19:20] <ahi2_> installing grub to sda hard drive
[19:20] <octo_> does anyone know how to get dnsmasq to work on ubuntu 18.04
[19:20] <octo_> ?
[19:21] <catnap> tomreyn: I'm saddened to hear that the project has become less active. Many people are talking about how smartphones compromize privacy. If there was something one could do, it would be really nice. But I guess, we just have to accept the situation.
[19:24] <octo_> is there an alternative to dnsmasq that allows blocking a domain?
[19:25] <tomreyn> octo_: is a static record in /etc/hosts an option?
[19:25] <B0g4r7> I tend to run BIND myself.
[19:26] <octo_> B0g4r7: Isn't BIND complicated?
[19:26] <B0g4r7> Complexity is relative.  I guess you could say that it is.
[19:27] <s3nd1v0g1us> why are images and videos pixelated in terminal? im using browsh, and they wont render.
[19:27] <octo_> B0g4r7: I just need a simple way to block all the domains on foo.bar (www.foo.bar, foo.bar, etc)
[19:27] <octo_> would it be easy to do that with BIND?
[19:28] <B0g4r7> If i were doing it, I would tell BIND that it's authoritative for foo.bar, and have it host an empty zone file for foo.bar.
[19:29] <B0g4r7> Not real complex, no.
[19:29] <octo_> B0g4r7: Are there any good guides for doing something like that?
[19:30] <B0g4r7> octo_, the O'reilly book "DNS and BIND" is pretty good and thorough.  Otherwise I'd just google for "bind configuration howto" or similar.
[19:31] <octo_> Okay. Thanks
[19:32] <B0g4r7> Well that wasn't too bad to pull the drive out, mount it on another system, and change out the hash.
[19:32] <B0g4r7> Now I can proceed with figuring out bluetooth.
[19:34] <B0g4r7> ...after 311MB of updates.
[19:37] <s3nd1v0g1us> anyone use Browsh?
[19:38] <NerdTheThird> browsh uses firefox anyways, so legit don't bother lul
[19:38] <s3nd1v0g1us> right?
[19:38] <s3nd1v0g1us> my problem is that images and videos appear pixelated. amy i missing some dependancy?>
[19:39] <NerdTheThird> no, it's supposed to be like that
[19:39] <s3nd1v0g1us> ok. thats peculiar no?
[19:40] <NerdTheThird> no it's not. it's supposed to be shitty so people can use it in their terminal lul
[19:40] <s3nd1v0g1us> know if the developed has an IRC?
[19:40] <s3nd1v0g1us> developer*
[19:40] <s3nd1v0g1us> seems fairly useless if i cant see media
[19:40] <dxpython96> hello
[19:41] <irgendwer4711> hi, I have a problem with Firefox and AppArmor, since FF update to 64. I cant open downloaded files via download window "apparmor="DENIED" operation="exec"  name="/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/glib-2.0/gio-launch-desktop"
[19:41] <NerdTheThird> yeah, that's why you use firefox
[19:41] <NerdTheThird> and not some terminal thing
[19:42] <s3nd1v0g1us> i thought a text based browser might be quicker, more secure. cooler.
[19:42] <NerdTheThird> lol
[19:42] <NerdTheThird> lynx, w3m if you want text based browser
[19:42] <s3nd1v0g1us> its actually better blocking media on Browsh and just reading it as plaintext.
[19:42] <NerdTheThird> also if you want text based browser idk why do you expect media
[19:43] <s3nd1v0g1us> i wanted the media without the gui i guess.
[19:43] <s3nd1v0g1us> which is maybe contradictory.
[19:44] <NerdTheThird> yeah, i dont think you thought through it kek
[19:44] <s3nd1v0g1us> i want it all, and i want it now, NerdTheThird.
[19:44] <dxpython96> is there a command i can use to pull from my "clipboard" in bash
[19:44] <NerdTheThird> firefox, dude
[19:44] <s3nd1v0g1us> i guess.
[19:44] <NerdTheThird> alt + ctrl + v dxpython96
[19:45] <dxpython96> right i mean like
[19:45] <NerdTheThird> clipboard history?
[19:45] <dxpython96> so im using youtube-dl, and youtube-dl requires a URL to download a youtube video
[19:45] <dxpython96> i want to write a quick script with the youtube-dl command
[19:46] <dxpython96> that pulls from my "clipboard"
[19:46] <dxpython96> yeah right
[19:46] <dxpython96> clipboard history
[19:46] <NerdTheThird> oh wait
[19:46] <dxpython96> but i cant find anything
[19:46] <NerdTheThird> you can do alias with that
[19:46] <dxpython96> what's alias?
[19:46] <NerdTheThird> like, i have alias "update" which is short for "sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y"
[19:46] <tomreyn> irgendwer4711: which ubuntu release are you running there?
[19:46] <dxpython96> ohhh
[19:46] <NerdTheThird> https://www.tecmint.com/create-alias-in-linux/
[19:47] <irgendwer4711> NerdTheThird: 18.10
[19:47] <NerdTheThird> wrong dude
[19:47] <irgendwer4711> tomreyn: 18:10
[19:47] <NerdTheThird> correct dude
[19:47] <irgendwer4711> funny dude
[19:47] <NerdTheThird> thanks dude
[19:47] <irgendwer4711> where is my car dude
[19:47] <dxpython96> what would the command be that i'm aliasing
[19:47] <s3nd1v0g1us> budgies cool
[19:48] <NerdTheThird> it can be anything dxpython96
[19:48] <NerdTheThird> instead of writing youtube-dl andthenparameters you can shorten it to yt
[19:48] <tomreyn> irgendwer4711: oh right there /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/glib-2.0/gio-launch-desktop actually exists, i was wondering whether it was from a ppa
[19:48] <dxpython96> oh okay..
[19:48] <dxpython96> that's neat
[19:49] <dxpython96> but i'm wanting to solve the URL part
[19:49] <dxpython96> like having to copy and paste the url into the terminal
[19:49] <coconut> !enter
[19:49] <NerdTheThird> i dont htink there's an easy way for that
[19:49] <dxpython96> nuts
[19:49] <irgendwer4711> tomreyn: there is the file with same name in /usr/bin
[19:50] <dxpython96> yeah i couldn't find anything through searching and i just get downvoted for asking in stack exchange.
[19:50] <irgendwer4711> tomreyn: ah a link
[19:50] <NerdTheThird> the easiest way is make an alias and then just copy-paste link
[19:51] <dxpython96> shite
[19:52] <bprompt> dxpython96:    hmmm what are you trying to alias anyway?
[19:52] <tomreyn> irgendwer4711: check if you have multiple apparmor profiles for firefox in /etc/apparmor.d/ (maybe you retained an old copy during an upgrade)
[19:53] <dxpython96> well i'm not necessarily, i'll explain a bit more. I'm using something called youtube-dl, where you basically download it from git and then open a terminal from the folder where youtube-dl is, and then type out the command: youtube-dl "paste your youtube URL here"
[19:53] <bprompt> dxpython96:    ok... right, I use it, so?
[19:53] <NerdTheThird> he's trying to get youtube link automatically pasted in terminal along with youtube-dl command and other parameters
[19:54] <dxpython96> this will download a youtube video. What i want to do is write a script with the youtube-dl command, and then a following command that will grab the link that i've just copied so i can just run the script after copying a youtube URL, without having to do the whole thing by hand.
[19:54] <tomreyn> irgendwer4711: alternatively you could move the existing one out of the way and create a modified copy which handled this path.
[19:54] <irgendwer4711> tomreyn: there is nothing
[19:54] <NerdTheThird> which is not really possible coz even if he made it work it would open terminal with youtube-dl and paste everything from clipboard that he he copied
[19:54] <irgendwer4711> tomreyn: but this has to be a generic problem
[19:54] <Mathisen> !info xclip dxpython96
[19:54] <Mathisen> !info xclip
[19:55] <s3nd1v0g1us> !info budgie
[19:55] <dxpython96> xclip copies info from a target, it doesn't paste does into terminal does it?
[19:55] <Mathisen> dxpython96, xclip -selection clipboard -o
[19:56] <s3nd1v0g1us> one thing is certain, i love ubuntu so much comapred to w7
[19:56] <dxpython96> holy shit
[19:56] <tomreyn> irgendwer4711: yes, unless there is a matching bug report and you haven't modified the profile before, you should probably report a bug.
[19:56] <irgendwer4711> tomreyn: I will check with other computer later.
[19:57] <dxpython96> okay now i need to figure out how to separate those commands and then..make them come together
[19:57] <dxpython96> thanks Mathisen
[19:57] <tomreyn> irgendwer4711: cf. ubuntu bug 1792648, debian bugs 908206, 908516. different softwares, similar issues.
[19:58] <Mathisen> dxpython96, make an alias that runs a .sh script you can solve it easy with that
[19:58] <bprompt> dxpython96:   hmmmm well, issue being a little that,  hmmm unless you know the format you want to download, the video formats available for a video aren't always the same, there is a list of fairly reliable types, mp4, webm m4a and mp4 without audio and so on, but it varies per video, so the "-f" argument for youtube-dl may not be as reliable in a script..... hmmmm are you doing this in Python?
[19:59] <irgendwer4711> tomreyn: funny, this bug report is older than release
[19:59] <dxpython96> Mathisen, so if i made the xclip command an .sh script, made an alias for that script, then ran youtube-dl 'alias'? Then made THAT a bash script as well it would work?
[20:00] <dxpython96> bprompt: i would use the default format so i think thats mp4 iirc? I'm doing it in bash
[20:00] <tomreyn> irgendwer4711: if you're referring to the ubuntu big, this was also fixed very quickly and before release
[20:00] <irgendwer4711> tomreyn: its still there
[20:00] <tomreyn> irgendwer4711: which bug report are you referring to now?
[20:01] <irgendwer4711> tomreyn: 1792648
[20:01] <bprompt> dxpython96:    mp4 with audio is -f 18, if you ever bother looking, the videos have about 8 formats available for download, and some formats aren't available some times
[20:01] <tomreyn> irgendwer4711: it's "fix released"
[20:01] <tomreyn> irgendwer4711: what do you mean by "it's still there"?
[20:01] <irgendwer4711> tomreyn: maybe for evince
[20:02] <irgendwer4711> tomreyn: firefox is still effected
[20:02] <Mathisen> dxpython96, what if you just run youtube-dl "$(xclip -o)"
[20:02] <tomreyn> irgendwer4711: well there doesn't seem to be a bug report about firefox, which is the first step to get something fixed.
[20:02] <irgendwer4711> maybe
[20:03] <tomreyn> quite certainly
[20:03] <dxpython96> no f*ing way
[20:03] <dxpython96> that worked
[20:03] <dxpython96> why did that work
[20:03] <dxpython96> that's what i have been trying to do this whole time
[20:04] <Mathisen> well you got your alias now
[20:04] <dxpython96> i love you
[20:04] <bprompt> dxpython96:   do you know python? by any chance
[20:05] <dxpython96> no, haha, my name is a reference to the actual snake, i'm a snake rescuer.
[20:05] <bprompt> hehhe, alrity =P
[20:05] <dxpython96> I know a bit of Java, and do much better in Powershell but just recently moved from Windows to linux ecosystem
[20:06] <bprompt> dxpython96:    was asking, because I do something akin with the clipboard data, but is a regex stripping, but is  done in python =P
[20:06] <bprompt> dxpython96:   and all that you asked can be automated with a keyboard shortcut
[20:06] <dxpython96> By using python?
[20:07] <bprompt> dxpython96:   python and autokey, yes, autokey does mapping, but it also does python scripting, and python handles the clipboard, among other things
[20:08] <dxpython96> python seems really useful in a linux environment, perhaps i should begin learning more python in place of Java.
[20:09] <rypervenche> dxpython96: Welcome to Linux :)
[20:10]  * Mathisen suggest learning C, then you have an easy time learning most other lang after :)
[20:10] <dxpython96> Thanks rypervenche! :)
[20:11] <bprompt> dxpython96:   that said, I run youtube-dl manually myself, never bothered making an alias, don't need to, and whenever I need to get... a couple of weeks ago I downloaded hmmm about 25 videos, I simply grab the urls, did a quick search/replace and made each url a youtube-dl download in a bash script, ran it, every video came one by one, it waited till one finished, before going to the next, got all 25 in a whamo
[20:12] <dxpython96> i know, see i did actually see on the github page there is an option to create a textfile with a bunch of URLs in it
[20:12] <bprompt> dxpython96:   is just a "youtube-dl -f 18 ...... -o ".....";  line for each, nothing fancy schmanzy, make the file chmod +x, and off you go
[20:13] <dxpython96> and just have youtube-dl download all those URLs by targeting the text file. And i know i can just save up a text file full of URLs but i just wanted a real quick script for those one-off vids i wanna quickly grab without having to go and open the folder, open the terminal from the folder, hand write the command and copy/paste the url
[20:14] <rypervenche> dxpython96: A keyboard shortcut might be a nice way of doing it. Where it will autograb the URL that you're viewing and then run it through your script.
[20:15] <dxpython96> yes that would be awesome
[20:17] <bprompt> dxpython96:   then you might like Autokey, is specially for mapping keycombinations, but it also does mouse and "phrases" for autocompletion, and you can set filters so it only kicks in for this or that window only
[20:17] <bprompt> dxpython96:  and it does Python scripting as well
[20:18] <dxpython96> i'm looking into it right now, hopefully i could get a sweet hotkey up and running today
[20:19] <dxpython96> for youtube-dl
[20:19] <bprompt> dxpython96:   I use autokey quite a bit for LaTex stuff, among other things
[20:20] <vlt> Hello. On Ubuntu 18.04 LTS I get an "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)" message from `apt upgrade`. A few lines up there’s "dpkg-divert: error: rename involves overwriting '/usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.freedesktop.systemd1.service' with different file '/usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.freedesktop.systemd1.service.systemd', not allowed".
[20:20] <vlt> How to fix this?
[20:20] <ar_|> I don't know if this is an official Ubuntu channel or Canonical channel but all I want to say is that the job done with 18.10 is outstanding. I have a m3-7Y30 platform and it works great. Keep it up.
[20:22] <tomreyn> ar_|: according to the channel /topic it'S the official ubuntu (IRC) support channel.
[20:23] <ar_|> I mean, no touchpad issues when switching it to a tent mode (previously touchpad didn't disconnected so it was a problem in tent mode), at this stage 18.10 work great
[20:23] <solsTiCe> hi. Why does ubuntu software shows me no update while if I run `sudo apt full-upgrade` I see a long list of package to upgrade ?
[20:23] <tomreyn> if you'd want more developers to read this and you're running a / referring to the defaull desktop, you could repeat this in #ubuntu-desktop
[20:23] <tomreyn> ar_|: ^
[20:23] <ar_|> oh, ok
[20:24] <ar_|> i'll try that
[20:24] <ar_|> thx
[20:24] <tomreyn> yw
[20:24] <tomreyn> solsTiCe: did you try hitting the refresh button on the title bar?
[20:29] <solsTiCe> tomreyn: yes.
[20:30] <tomreyn> then my guess is that it doesn't do a full-upgrade but just an upgrade.
[20:30] <solsTiCe> tomreyn: I am more used to use apt on cli. so i am surprised to see the GUI not behave the same
[20:30] <solsTiCe> tomreyn: ok
[20:30] <tomreyn> at least on the ubuntu release you run there
[20:37] <ntd> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1807250
[20:38] <ntd> anu update? support for an entire bus class has been missing for close to a year?
[20:41] <krytarik> solsTiCe: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PhasedUpdates - or it's this.
[20:56] <gorbypark> I'm trying to use my yubikey fido u2f key on 18.04/chromium and I just get "something went wrong" errors on all my services (gmail, github, etc).  Any ideas?
[21:07] <texla> Ubuntu 18.04.1 During login after the file clean script I am getting start up applications printing..Evidently I click on some item to start this script..which one do I need to undo
[21:22] <argusbr> How do I put extensions in multiple files at the same time?
[21:48] <doge-doge> question: do you even need to worry about DNS leaks on a vpn if you've already set your own DNS IPs?
[21:58] <jwr> I'm using network-manager and I can see with `nmcli dev show` that it has picked up the correct DNS server from dhcp, but dns resolving is broken. anybody know what i am missing? i suspect it's whatever local dns forwarder not running or something.
[21:59] <jwr> 18.04 if that matters
[22:07] <Wafficus> hi there, what are some cool things I could install and run on ubuntu server/
[22:07] <Wafficus> ?
[22:08] <qwebirc95665> how can i define in an online account that ubuntu stores my files with encryption?
[22:17] <cuebix> I need some halp :| I installed this https://github.com/ab77/netflix-proxy and didn't realize that it was going to fuxor with my firewall. I'm in my ssh session, but can't ssh into my server right now because it apparently turned off ufw. I'm kinda scared to turn ufw back on because if my connection closes, I'm totally screwed (no physical access to box)
[22:19] <cuebix> I'm trying to figure out the best course of action. I don't know if there's a way to uninstall this thing but all I want is my old firewall rules back
[22:20] <SlidingHorn> cuebix: just manually set the rules you need and turn ufw back on.  In regard to what that application did, you'll have to ask the developers.  It's 3rd party, so we can't really offer support
[22:22] <cuebix> I totally hear you about 3rd party, didn't expect any help with that. So I did try to set the ssh rule that I had. I cracked open my /etc/ufw/user.rules and found the ssh rules and ran iptables with them, but I'm still getting connection refused when I ssh in. Maybe I need to take a closer look at the currently active rules...
[22:25] <cuebix> ok, found the rule that was messing me up
[22:26] <cuebix> I really need to torch whatever this thing set up. Im afraid it's going to break on a reboot
[22:32] <cuebix> Random question. If I were trying to apt-get remove a package, and some other package depended on it, apt would say so, wouldn't it?
[22:33] <SlidingHorn> cuebix: It should.  One way to test is to do something like   sudo apt remove -s packagename  -  The -s flag "simulates" the action and doesn't make any changes, so you can review what *would* happen
[22:33] <cuebix> Thanks
[22:34] <cuebix> I'm removing the iptables-persistent and netfilter-persistent packages that it apparently installed. Hoping that will prevent its rules from getting reloaded
[22:39] <cuebix> Hmm, looks like it installed docker, too... Which I'd actually like to mess with but... I don't trust this anymore lol
[22:42] <cuebix> @SlidingHorn thanks for your help, I really appreciate it.
[22:42] <cowsay> hey, I've always been a little confused by the situation of Java/OpenJDK especially on linux. If I install openjdk, does that include the JRE?  And what's the "correct" way to get Java 11 installed .. fully set up and updatable, with JAVA_HOME configured and whatnot.  java.net just gives you a tarball to use
[22:43] <SlidingHorn> cuebix: happy to help!
[22:43] <cowsay> When I search my package manager for openjdk, it gives me "OpenJDK Java 11 Policy Tool" ... which is an oddly named package
[22:44] <qwebirc95665> how can i define in an online account that ubuntu stores my files with encryption?
[22:45] <SlidingHorn> cowsay: openjdk has its own runtime environment (jre) - to have java 11, you can do    sudo apt install openjdk-11-jre
[22:45] <cowsay> SlidingHorn: thank you! I don't know why this is such a pain to figure out
[22:46] <SlidingHorn> qwebirc95665: can you be a little more specific?  what kind of account and from which service/provider?  What are you trying to define it to?
[22:46] <gorbypark> any suggestions for an extension (gnome) to set mouse scrolling options?
[22:47] <ub3g33k> gorbypark: KDE Plasma :P
[22:48] <SlidingHorn> ub3g33k: that's not really helpful
[22:48] <gorbypark> heh
[22:48] <ub3g33k> Yes, I know, hence the little smiley at the end. Wasn't meant to be
[22:48] <SlidingHorn> ub3g33k: well this is a support channel, and isn't meant for sarcasm/jokes.
[22:49] <qwebirc95665> SlidingHorn i want to use google to use funktions like "restore missing files" but dont want the data to be open
[22:49] <ub3g33k> Ok, how's this:  I do not think there is such an extension, since it's handled by libinput, and GNOME tries to ensure those settings don't change
[22:52] <explodes> What music players are better than Clementine?
[22:54] <gorbypark> ub3g33k, great, thanks for the info :)
[22:56] <ub3g33k> explodes: I really like cmus
[22:57] <SlidingHorn> explodes: It's a subjective question, so there's no real "factual" answer.  Other options include rhythmbox, audacious, cmus, and probably several others
[23:04] <Sven_vB> explodes, I like qmmp and sox
[23:06] <yelowfish> anyone knows how to bring back the create new doc on mouse right click for xenial?  tried this link but still same.. https://askubuntu.com/questions/777711/create-new-document-right-click-option-missing-in-ubuntu-gnome
[23:11] <duoi> hi
[23:12] <duoi> where can i see a list of all cronjobs
[23:12] <duoi> and cron logs
[23:15] <SlidingHorn> duoi: for root jobs:  crontab -l    for a user: crontab -u username -l    -   I suggest taking a look at `man cron` and `man crontab`
[23:18] <duoi> SlidingHorn thanks
[23:27] <cuebix> Has anyone done an upgrade from ubuntu 16.x to 18.x over ssh before? I'm wondering how risky it is. I'd like to make use of some newer packages that are available in 18, but not sure if it's worth risking
[23:28] <Ben64> it probably works, but have a backup plan
[23:28] <cuebix> My backup plan would have to be to wait till the next time I have physical access to the server :P
[23:28] <SlidingHorn> cuebix: It's set up to "just work" - but as Ben64 says, it's always smart to have a backup just in case
[23:29] <cuebix> Understood
[23:30] <cuebix> eh, you only live once, right? :D I'll give it a shot
[23:36] <cuebix> It's reassuring that the upgrader detected that I was doing it over ssh and asked if I wanted to open a temporary ssh server on a different port just-in-case
