[00:05] the moment of truth... system restarting... [00:06] cuebix: crossing fingers for you [00:07] :D thanks [00:07] sweet. It worked! [00:07] Shit might be broken, but as long as SSH works, I'm good to go :) [00:08] cuebix: congrats! (watch the language though, please - all-ages channel here) :) [00:08] That was a pretty slick process. It prompted me a few times about differences in some important files, including my sshd_config [00:08] Oops, sorry! [00:20] is it a pain to isntall ubuntu without a display? [00:22] How would that work energizer ? [00:23] cuebix: insert boot media, boot into autoinstaller, remove boot media, done [00:25] I guess if it doesn't prompt you for anything it'd work. [00:38] energizer: Closest answer I could find: https://askubuntu.com/a/250931/474173 [00:39] SlidingHorn: looking, thanks [00:43] energizer, you could use a serial console to install in textmode. [00:45] hello [00:45] I have a question with drivers [00:45] energizer, also I'm currently learning about how to install Ubuntu via debootstrap. you could develop auto-install scripts (or ask me to ;) ) and then use alpine linux or sth. to init your Ubuntu. https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/installation-guide/amd64/apds04.html [00:46] i have intel hd 5500 and i am not sure if i have the right drivers [00:47] anyone? [00:47] on my 18.10 system something is refusing to release the lock on dpkg, any ideas? [00:47] but yeah the "install in another computer and move/clone the hard disk" approach is probably easiest if applicable. [00:47] Is there some sneaky trick to get a Pixel3 to hook up via USB? [00:48] Success! My "check engine" light is now off. That only took...hours. [00:48] aaa can anyone read this? [00:48] i wanna make sure if i am registered [00:48] B0g4r7, I just got here. What did you get running? [00:48] TheSp33dyMan, I can read you. [00:48] ok thanks lol [00:48] TheSp33dyMan, Yes, I can hear you [00:48] Sven_vB: ah i didnt realize there are SATA-to-USB cables. that seems like it'd make this much easier [00:49] Ubuntu laptop, runs scantoolnet.exe in wine, connecting to a bluetooth obd2 dongle to talk to the vehicle. [00:49] obd2 dougle lol [00:49] Stop the bus... WHat vehicle? That's awesome [00:49] car guy? [00:50] JDM? [00:50] How would I make a script that I can access from any directory? I have one that ssh's into my VPS and automatically attatches a tmux session. I'd like to be able to call this script simply by typing in the name of the script [00:50] The bluetooth stuff is the tricky bit. [00:50] nvm.. [00:50] 2008 Ram 1500. You can buy the dongles for $20 or less on ebay, aluexpress,etc. [00:50] energizer, I just put two machines next to each other and plug in a long SATA cable. :D [00:50] aliexpress [00:50] anyways, can someone help me with my drivers? [00:50] intel hd 5500 [00:50] As much as i'm into tech, my next car is going to be something with no computer. I'm thinking mid-70s Thunderbird, or Continental. I want to be able to see the engine and work on it. [00:50] not sure if i have the right drivers [00:51] TheSp33dyMan: I have to scroll back a ton because there's too much non-support chatter going on right now....hold [00:51] ok [00:52] TheSp33dyMan, terminal command: ubuntu-drivers devices [00:52] ok hold on... [00:53] there's also "ubuntu-drivers list", not sure what the difference is [00:53] I usually just use sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall [00:54] no drivers... [00:54] found [00:54] truexfan81: Take a look here: [00:54] https://askubuntu.com/a/102084/474173 [00:55] TheSp33dyMan, then you have all the easy ones. are you missing some features? [00:55] i get low fps on games that i could run easily on windows [00:56] and the animations for ubuntu are a bit laggy [00:56] TheSp33dyMan, I'd search the web for your ubuntu version + your graphics card name [00:56] ook [00:56] TheSp33dyMan: The driver should already be preinstalled - Does it specifically say "no drivers found" or does it say "unknown"? [00:57] SlidingHorn: that deleted those files but didn't fix the error [00:57] E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend - open (13: Permission denied) [00:57] E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), are you root?

[00:58] truexfan81, I think I had a similar error some days ago, where the real error was that user "_apt" lacked permission to write on /tmp [00:59] truexfan81: it's pretty important that you try everything else shown in the answer I linked to before trying that solution itself. === daniel is now known as Guest24777 [01:00] i cant find anything [01:00] any idea? [01:01] TheSp33dyMan: please see my previous message to you [01:01] truexfan81, oh and another similar error message was when I had another dpkg running in another terminal, forgot about it, and it still lingered there because it had questions. [01:02] oh ok [01:02] if i figure out which gui tool is causing this issue i will be purging it from the system, because its obviously garbage [01:02] thanks [01:03] truexfan81: It might not even be a GUI program. I've provided an answer that *will* fix your issue, regardless, and Sven_vB has provided other examples that could be causing it. [01:05] rofl [01:05] SlidingHorn: i tried to do the sudo fuser -cuk /var/lib/dpkg/lock; sudo rm -f /var/lib/dpkg/lock result was xorg crashed and restarted [01:06] I like Deepin OS refershing [01:07] another apt-get, ubuntu should have done this desktop a long time ago... shame [01:08] MacOS + ubuntu = Deepin [01:08] https://imgur.com/a/13iRJde [01:08] !ot | SwaggerArch [01:08] SwaggerArch: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[01:09] SlidingHorn, Got a real question for ubuntu a script bash app install [01:09] How would I install grub without installing ubuntu [01:10] The drive actually already has ubuntu on it but grub hasn't been installed [01:11] bray90820: Check this out: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing [01:11] wrote script from following website https://milanaryal.com.np/write-a-shell-script-for-ubuntu-to-install-your-list-of-apps/ [01:12] Can anytell me is there anything missing from the script or you would add to make the script better? [01:12] SwaggerArch: That's more a question for #bash, as it's not related directly to Ubuntu, itself [01:13] SlidingHorn: that assumes you ether wanna wipe the drive or you previously had a working grub [01:13] wow jesus what kind of ubuntu is this? [01:13] later [01:13] SwaggerArch: personally I would like the install line without -y [01:13] so that I must verify before it proceeds, not uncommon with retarded depdencies that suddently tries to drag in all sort of junk [01:13] I am moving my ubuntu from one drive to another and never had grub installed [01:15] Apachez, thanks... I like the comments in the script so I don't have to remember every little thing.. That is why it didn't ask to proceed yes/no ok [01:16] bray90820: you would go through the same process listed under the "fixing a broken system" or "reinstalling grub" to do it. [01:17] SlidingHorn: Thanks I'll try that [01:17] Apachez, glad I took 2 semesters of programming in Unix and C++ [01:18] Apachez, unix class was aimed at unix server and as400 really was to understand the Unix server relationship to as400 [01:18] SwaggerArch: please take this to #ubuntu-offtopic, as this is no longer related to ubuntu support [01:20] SlidingHorn, headed to bash.... get windows unbashed.. hahaha [01:20] leave [01:36] I was hoping to try Wayland. I've installed 18.10 + nvidia drivers but don't get any selection cog on login screen, and I've confirmed that I'm running X11. [01:36] What to do? [01:37] WaylandEnable=false is commented out [01:41] How do completely get rid of all video drivers and start over as if it were a fresh install? [01:41] Because I think switching from Nvidia to AMD messed things up and now some programs aren't starting. [01:49] anyone familiar with bind? I've never set it up before but trying to get it up and running. The server seems to be running, but on a weird address and i'm not sure why [01:50] Looks like it's running on 127.0.0.53: tcp LISTEN 0 128 127.0.0.53%lo:53 0.0.0.0:* [01:50] sure that's not systemd resolver?

[02:14] I chose to install ubuntu alongside an existing windows install. is the partition to the left the windows partition? [02:14] jayjo: this should help: https://askubuntu.com/a/763972/474173 [02:15] https://imgur.com/a/cW5oamJ [02:15] nshirelite: your Windows partition will likely be the only one formatted as NTFS in your list [02:16] looks good then. if I decide I don't want ubuntu on this machine, I can just delete the ubuntu partition and extend the ntfs one right? [02:17] never done dualboot before. Not very familiar with it. [02:18] nshirelite: correct - You may have to do some little extras to remove GRUB afterward. I don't remember. Nothing terribly difficult though [02:21] SlidingHorn: when I run `bluetoothctl devices` i get this output: https://bpaste.net/show/312905896971 [02:21] looks like something is connecting over and over or attempting to connect? What could those devices be?

I could be wrong though. Hopefully someone better-versed in this particular area than myself is able to help === capella|away is now known as capella [02:50] jayjo: I would suggest searching terms like - ubuntu apple keyboard bluetooth - on DuckDuckGo, etc. Look for folks with similar issues on sites like askubuntu.com etc === not_phunyguy is now known as phunyguy [03:05] test [03:05] nice [03:07] I'm using the minimal install of ubuntu on this machine and it feels so much more responsive than win10. very niec.

What do I need to install to make more available to me? [03:19] !resolution | Geo [03:19] Geo: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [03:21] I'm not looking at fixing- I don't think the drivers for my card are installed [03:21] Hence the sole option available [03:21] Maybe I'm wrong? [03:28] Geo: Grub command `vbeinfo' . If this is a legacy system .. see the comments in /etc/default/grub file . [03:29] Brand new laptop [03:31] I guess I'm just confused- in settings->devices, I can pick a resolution, but only one is available. I've seen screen shots with multiple available. What is enabling that? [03:32] Its an Intel graphics card [03:41] Geo: the link I gave you through ubottu tells you how this is fixed. [03:52] SlidingHorn: closest I saw was 'undetected resolutions' ... I'm looking for how to make them detected [03:53] In the past, I know I've had to install a video card driver set. Is that no longer the case? [03:53] That is what made new sets of resolution available [03:54] Or, maybe point me to the relevent section of that page? [03:54] Geo: ....and the word *before* "undetected resolutions" is "Adding" [03:55] I don't know what resolutions are supported [03:56] Hence why I want the correct drivers to be installed, to enable detection [03:56] Geo: Intel graphics are installed by default. To find out what resolutions your laptop supports, you may need to check the manufacturer's website. [03:59] Hello.

I doubt you're likely to find a satisfactory answer here. Maybe try #ubuntu-offtopic? [04:18] SlidingHorn: thanks [04:29] Often times when searching for software in Ubuntu Software, I see two sources for packages: one is from a Snap, and the other is from ubuntu-cosmic-*. How do you decide which one to choose? [04:30] I asked precisely that question a few weeks ago. And apparently I'm still in the channel... ;) [04:31] Consensus was avoid the snaps unless they're the only version available. I don't remember the specific reasons and apparently my scrollback doesn't go back that far. [04:32] i like flatpak [04:32] mlalkaka: all the packages in the software centre are meant for your ubuntu version [04:32] mlalkaka: but you can choose as user: the apt repo package vs the snap(more latest) package [04:34] myself, lotuspsychje: thanks! I'll stick with the apt repo package in this case, because it was much smaller and is the same version as the Snap package [04:42] I added the xrandr lines to /etc/gdm3/Init/Default, but the resolution changes are not persistent after reboot. Any thoughts as to what I need to do differently? [04:44] Geo: Unfortunately, while the entry says "TRY THIS FIRST", it's buried toward the bottom of the page....give this a shot instead: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution#Try_this_first [04:45] Geo: having your xorg.conf file set up should keep the settings after rebooting === jrgilman is now known as FatManXPC [04:50] ok, i give up, where is xorg.conf on 18.04?

Because what I can tell they look very similar. [11:04] simpledat: unity is a gnome fork [11:08] hi, can i use certbot to generate 1 certifivzte and use it on multiple servers? (same domain different ips / hostnames? ) [11:11] Hi everybody! [11:11] I like the new gnome, but take a bit of adjustment. I used unity for years.

If the partitions in an (old) gpt are not aligned to 4k, is there a tool that can realign the partitions? Assuming I don’t need that drive has UEFI stuff, but I have don’t need to boot from it at yhe moment. [11:37] For some reason I cant use "su" to login in terminal as root. Do you know why? [11:38] !sudo | simpledat [11:38] simpledat: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !pkexec (for older releases: !gksu and !kdesudo). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [11:39] lotuspsychje: I know about sudo. But I want to run terminal as root, then I need to do su. [11:39] So you cant login as root in terminal? [11:39] I thought ubuntu disabled the su passwd, I may be mistaken [11:51] coz_: Is there any way to enable it? [11:52] simpledat: use 'sudo -i' [11:53] simpledat: i think gparted could help possibly [11:53] sorry mishighlight [11:54] k_sze[work]: ^ [11:54] always backup your hdd before moving stuff around [11:55] ducasse: Thanks that worked :) [12:19] What's the best way to change background for login dialog? I'm kind of fed up with the plain purple already. :p [12:19] Furai: right click on desktop, then change background. [12:20] Furai: You will have options to both change desktop background and login background there. [12:21] Nah, you didn't get what I mean. I know how to change those. [12:21] What I want to change is the login dialog, that is there when you try to log in. [12:22] With input fields. [12:22] oh sorry then I dont know [12:22] It seems that the only way to change that is to edit css files. [12:22] Anyway, thx. :) [12:24] does ubuntu have login window settings available from main menu Furai ? [12:25] if it does I'd have a ook in there [12:25] look* [12:32] How do I switch windows while dragging something? (e.g. text, or a file.) Right now, I have to resize windows so that I can drop the thing I'm dragging into the other window. Alt+tab, super key (overview), and alt+` all do nothing while I'm dragg-n-dropping. [12:33] ubuntu 18.10, using Gnome 3. [12:39] Hey! I'm trying to import a self-signed cert to seahorse but I keep getting the unlock window, I know I typed my password right [12:51] <_13LACK_> mainnet: The root account is disabled as default? [12:51] Hi folks [12:51] _13LACK_, nope. I tried entering my password - a non-root user password [12:54] <_13LACK_> as default, root account is disabled on Ubuntu... my question is: Have you enabled root account or it's disables yet? [12:57] _13LACK_, well, I can still login to it if that's what you are asking [12:58] <_13LACK_> mainnet: i had the same trouble when i enabled the root account... [12:58] _13LACK_, oh, how did you fix it? [12:58] <_13LACK_> you non-root account have sudo permition? [12:58] yep [13:00] <_13LACK_> in my case, i had enabled root account.... so, when show the unlock window i type root password [13:03] I have Xubuntu 18.04 and I can't make pen drives mount when I click on them in the file manager. I get a "Failed to mount... Not authorized to perform operation." pop up error. [13:03] This is a fresh install. I believe that this issue is related to my LDAP authentication which I use for years, since Ubuntu 14.02 or even before. I have been using all releases (non-LTS also) of Ubuntu or Xubuntu and never had any problems with pen drive mounting. With 18.04 I can't make it work. I already know that without my LDAP configuration the mounting works fine. I also know that mounting in the command line as root works fine. [13:03] My question is: how to I troubleshoot the pen drive mounting process started in the File Manager so I can figure what I need to change (in my LDAP login configuration or somewhere else)? [13:05] <_13LACK_> rsevero: can you type the complete error menssage? [13:07] <_13LACK_>: Failed to mount "PENDRIVE_LABEL". Not authorized to perform operation. [13:08] <_13LACK_> rsevero: do you have a domain? AD or Samba4? [13:09] _13LACK_: No. [13:10] _13LACK_, okay, i've tried in my other buntu and it succesfully imports but my internally hosted website doesn't rock a green lock! [13:13] <_13LACK_> rsevero: paste the fdisk -l output, please [13:15] <_13LACK_> mainnet: if a understand well, you have a HTTP server, corretc? [13:15] <_13LACK_> correct* [13:15] yep === al2o3-cr is now known as Guest27748 === al2o3-cr-tmp is now known as al2o3-cr [13:16] _13LACK_: Here is the relevant part (AFAIU): https://paste.ee/p/BdjTR Please let me know if you need more. But let me tell you that no pen drive mounts through File Manager. All of them mount on the command line as root and in my personal laptop so I don't think it's something related to the pen drive itself. [13:28] <_13LACK_> rsevero: if you can mount pen drive as root so is a permition trouble.... see the permition on /media folder [13:33] <_13LACK_>: I had checked that before but just to be sure I just changed the owner of the /media folder to my user. The problem remains. I thiunk my problem is related to some new policy kit incantation (new from 18.04 perspective) that is incompatible with my LDAP login configuration. [13:33] People : hi ! How can I get sieve_storage_ldap to work on a bionic machine ? I've intalled all I could find about dovecot that would suit my requirements (basically have a dovecot proxy to our actual imap server, and this part works just great). Now, I'd like to be abble to manage the sieve filters that are stored in our ldap. [13:33] apt search sieve_storage_ldap returns nothing. Any ppa to add or something ? [13:46] <_13LACK_> mainnet: did you try this tutorial? https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-create-a-self-signed-ssl-certificate-for-apache-in-ubuntu-16-04 [13:48] hi, is there any way to type for example e' and have it converted automatically to è? Without any other modifier key, just that [13:52] _13LACK_, actually no, but I've actually done all that and my prblem is to import that to seahorse so that I can see my website rock a pretty lock icon lol :D [13:57] I'm using Programmer Dvorak as the keyboard layout. Can someone help me make accents work with the Right Alt? === Butterfly^ is now known as Guest57832 [14:09] hexhaxtron: Which accents? [14:10] is this bad performance for 2 nvme disks in raid 1 http://termbin.com/79xi [14:11] rypervenche, for example: ã or á [14:12]
