[01:29] ceiling [01:33] Is it possible to remove packages I don't need from Lubuntu if it came with it? [01:34] mmarconm: what exactly are you trying to configure? [01:34] Draconiator: Some packages are tied to the "core" which could cause issues. One way to test if a package you don't want is going to remove others is to try apt remove -s - the -s flag simulates the action [01:34] domain like in interfaces dns-domain and dns-search [01:35] slidinghorn: domain like in interfaces dns-domain and dns-search [01:45] Anyone know why I'm getting the following error message when trying to install nfs-common?

Those docs I linked state "NOTICE: For KVMGT, you also can use the current upstream Linux kernel and QEMU directly since all the enabling patches have been upstreamed." How can I find out if the kernel and qemu I have supports this, or do I need to build [02:04] the kernel and qemu as per their instructions?

[05:39] i'm not sure what 'ocs' is [05:54] is it a good idea to keep write caching off on my ssd? I mean, I do have a ups... [05:54] is there a noticeable increase in performance?

[06:10] I switched back to GNOME and now I get some weird behaviours: 1. mouse cursor is somehow KDE style when I hover at certain things. 2. gvim's status line doesn't display correctly sometimes. [06:12] k_sze[work]: its okay to test different desktop/flavors on your current system, but reccomended if you like one, to clean install it to avoid scrambled packages [06:13] k_sze[work]: the more desktop you mix, the more chance of packages and behaviour mixing up [06:18] I have a bit of an odd problem, I had no audio in virtualbox6.x with ubuntu18.04 [06:19] I found a possible fix online, edited /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf [06:19] added the line `options snd-intel8x0 ac97_clock=48000` [06:19] that brought sound back but it was choppy (and so was the video) [06:20] hi [06:21] any ideas? [06:25] newpy: Not really sure...did sound work on the version of virtualbox that came in the repositories? [06:27] How do I switch to using the proprietary AMD video drivers? [06:27] how do I check if I'm using them in the first place? === beaver|idle is now known as beaver [06:31] leonardus: There are no longer "proprietary" AMD drivers . There is a proprietary overlay for supported cards; that is generally discouraged . What shows ' lsmod | grep amdgpu ' ? [06:32] Bashing-om: https://termbin.com/ivr6 [06:32] I want to install this software and it says ", we require the proprietary driver from AMD or NVIDIA to run X-Plane. You may be able to get X-Plane to run on the Mesa/Gallium driver with an Intel GPU, but this is unsupported. We absolutely do not support the fully open source drivers for AMD and NVIDIA." [06:32] https://www.x-plane.com/kb/x-plane-11-system-requirements/ [06:33] leonardus: Yup. that confirms that you are tunning the amdgpu driver . what do you hipe to gain with the overlay - AMDGPU-PRO ? [06:34] runnung* [06:34] well it says "We absolutely do not support the fully open source drivers for AMD and NVIDIA." [06:34] so I think I need amdgpu-pro [06:35] also some games are crashing when I try to start them [06:35] I think my installation of drivers is buggy or something [06:36] leonardus: How old is that documentation ? As there are NO propritaary drivers for AMD. AMD drivers are now open source and provided in the kernel . [06:37] leonardus: Biffy driver. what shows ' cat /var/log/gpu-manager.log ' ? [06:38] https://termbin.com/jc5x [06:38] also when I'm playing videos on YouTube, I can see the program that's behind firefox at about 99% transparency, so very faintly. But when I pause it, it goes away. so I thnk that's another driver bug [06:40] leonardus: gpu-manager does not see a problem . might look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log see if X sees any issues . [06:43] Bashing-om: I think that log file is old, because it says stuff about NVIDIA, and at the end it says "Server terminated successfully". [06:45] there's one at /home/ubuntu/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log [06:45] Bashing-om: here is its output: https://termbin.com/jzr8 [06:46] leonardus: Yeah that is the new location . what release is this we are working with ? [06:46] I think it's 18.04.1, but I'm not entirely sure. [06:46] I'm running upstream GNOME I think, if that makes a difference [06:49] leonardus: getting sorta lost .. the log reflects vt.handoff=1 .. and also that "using VT number 2" . what us the deal here ? - as I continue reading the file . [06:49] * leonardus shrugs [06:49] I have two monitors that might have something to do with it [06:49] I don't know much about this stuff though [06:53] leonardus: The log also show the pro driver :) what returns ' sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/64/amdgpu_pm_info | grep GPU\ Load ' ? [06:54] cat: /sys/kernel/debug/dri/64/amdgpu_pm_info: No such file or directory [06:54] there is one at /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/amdgpu_pm_info, here is its output: https://termbin.com/0cnc === Khaotic_ is now known as Khaotic [07:01] leonardus: regarding opencl support, you may want to look into mesa-opencl-icd if you don't mind the "We absolutely do not support the fully open source drivers for AMD and NVIDIA." Alternatively, you can read up on https://math.dartmouth.edu/~sarunas/amdgpu.html and potentially viloate AMD's licensing terms (have not checked) and use only those proprietary parts you need to. you could then use those by prefixing any opencl commands with [07:01] LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/amdgpu-pro/lib64 [07:01] obviously neither is really supported and the latter is very much a hack. [07:03] leonardus: Again X seems happy . See tomreyn's comments up . [07:08] here is an error I get when trying to run a game: symbol lookup error: /opt/amdgpu/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdrm_amdgpu.so.1: undefined symbol: drmGetNodeTypeFromFd [07:08] what could cause that?

[07:10] yeah, on it [07:10] thanks [07:10] tnx [07:11] https://pastebin.com/CUFdRJF6 [07:12] tizon: is your current 16.04 up to date to latest? [07:12] I think so, I did update & upgrade [07:13] tizon: what was the *exact* command you ran? [07:13] tizon: its also reccomended to disable external ppa's or leftovers [07:14] slidinghorn: to get the output I pasted: sudo do-release-upgrade [07:14] lotuspsychje: will this uninstall them? [07:15] tizon: we dont support the use of external ppa's here, so yes its reccomended you uninstall the packages + the ppa's matching them [07:15] !ppapurge | tizon [07:15] tizon: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [07:16] !ltsupgrade | tizon afterwards [07:16] tizon afterwards: Upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04.1 is now available, if you do not receive the upgrade window try update-manager -c [07:16] how can I identify external ppas?

[07:18] tizon: if you like, sure we can take a look for you [07:18] tizon: we already saw them...hold on a sec....

[07:36] tizon: looking again, this version is probably older than the one you want, it seems that most people want 9.2+ or 10.0. so you may need a ppa or do with nvidia installer scripts (both unsupported here). [07:38] looks like nvidia provides a repository as discussed at https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/hpc/How-To-Install-CUDA-10-together-with-9-2-on-Ubuntu-18-04-with-support-for-NVIDIA-20XX-Turing-GPUs-1236/ [07:47] Hello. Silly question, but I can't remember the name of the file that defines partitions and their assignments, (like /home and such). what was the name again? I need to edit it and *should* know the name, but it slipped my mind for some reason... [07:48] Mrokii: you're looking for the "file system table", configuration files are in /etc [07:48] so this is /etc/fstab [07:49] tomreyn: Ah yes! Thanks! That's what I needed. :-D [07:49] Mrokii: careful about what you edit there, this can break the system from booting if you do it wrong [07:50] also, depending on what you'll change, you may also want / need to run other commands / update other configuration files. [07:51] tomreyn: I know, I've been editing that file before on several occasions. [07:51] ok :) [07:52] It was just that I completely forgot the actual filename. :-D Really weird. [07:53] It's not the most intuitive name. And, if you use encryption, don't forget /etc/crypttab [07:53] AndyChow888: I don't, but thanks for the tip. I may need that at some point in the future. [07:53] AndyChow888: it's not terribly cryptic though "file system tables" [07:54] slidinghorn, it is and isn't. Unix terminology is obvious when you know it, impossible to guess when you don't. [07:55] AndyChow888: I'd agree on that. [07:56] Anyhow, I must leave. Have a nice day you all. :) And happy holidays or whatever else lies ahead of you. :) [07:56] Mrokii: next time you forget something like this, if you do remember it has to do with file systems and is a configuration file (section 5 of man pages), you could: apropos -s 5 'filesystem' [07:56] see you [07:57] tomreyn: I'll note that in my Linux-hints-file. May be useful for other purposes as well. Bye [07:58] Hi, what is a good drawing program? I want to make a drawing with boxes, arrows, some text labels, maybe a little circle... Not free hand drawing :p [07:58] Even having a snap grid would be a huge pre [07:59] Aleric: Inkscape, maybe Krita (? never used it), or maybe GIMP (though shapes aren't necessarily its forte) [07:59] Aleric: also libreoffice draw [08:00] Might be overkill, but yEd. [08:01] yEd is a graph editor, sort of like Visio. [08:03] Depends your use-case. I mean, you could go all the way to TikZ, for full drawing capabilities (in a logical way).

[08:12] anyone know how? [08:12] gambl0r3: and you're providing no contextual information at all. such as, ubuntu versionm, desktop you use, application you want to zoom in, if not the desktop. [08:13] in xubuntu, all i have to do is press alt + touchpad up direction and it magnifies my screen [08:13] does anyone know what im talking about? [08:14] gambl0r3: Take a look at the xzoom application, that might help you out [08:14] i didnt need any application to do this in xubuntu [08:14] i cant believe no one knows what im talking about. anyways thanks [08:14] gambl0r3: well you're not telling us anything about what you're using [08:14] so all we can do is guess [08:14] slidinghorn, im not using anything [08:14] You need xfce, don't you, gambl0r3? [08:15] it's magnifying my screen. not any specific applicatoin [08:15] do you understand? [08:15] xfce is an app, you dick. [08:15] gambl0r3: WHAT VERSION / FLAVOR OF UBUNTU ARE YOU USING [08:15] kubuntu [08:15] AndyChow888, you're an idiot. shutup [08:15] Make me. [08:15] hey naow [08:16] we are all best friends here [08:16] ubuntu runs deeper than blood [08:16] easy. i'll just ignore you idiot [08:16] ... [08:16] gambl0r3: You need to learn how to get people to help you when you need help. [08:16] gambl0r3: first, Xubuntu *does* use an application to do what you were describing - it just has it defined as a default keybind. Kubuntu can use either xzoom or kmag to do this as well [08:17] gambl0r3: second, stop abusing the people who are trying to help you. [08:18] slidinghorn, he instigated. its over.

WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. [10:39] now that is weird. why can i not set it in /etc/hostname as on every other *nix? [10:40] i see no obligation to have my hostname in /etc/hosts, also the hostname picked in the installer is not in /etc/hosts [10:40] most distros are different in how it is set [10:41] is there some initscript that alters the /etc/hostname file on shutdown? [10:41] you should follow the steps ubottu listed for best results [10:44] did not work [10:45] it does work [10:45] can you explain what didn't [10:46] but it did not work, is there some special magic happening with sudo that i do not know about? i am logging in as root, not as other using and sudoing stuff [10:46] i ran hostname , after that hostname command gave my new hostname [10:46] i edited /etc/hostname with the same value, then cat'ed the file. it had the new name [10:47] i added "127.0.0.1 " to /etc/hosts [10:47] then rebooted and my old hostname was restored [10:48] you must have something else going on then [10:48] could this be ubuntu not properly releasing its dhcp lease, so it later on picks up its old name from the dhcp server? [10:48] kale: in /etc/hosts it's generally better to set it using "127.0.1.1 hostname" just so as not to mess with the '127.0.0.1 localhost; [10:49] TJ-: in general, your hostname is not needed in /etc/hosts [10:49] kale: depends on what tools are in use and how they query for the hostname [10:49] not for changing you hostname [10:50] kale: anything using gethostbyname() is affected by it [10:50] if its not in /etc/hosts, then DNS will be asked [10:53] yes, thats it. ubuntu dhcp, does not properly release it dhcp lease on shutdown... shrugs [10:54] kale: is the system using NetworkManager or systemd-networkd? NetworkManager keeps the leases files and attempts to reuse them, so changing the hostname without NM being aware could cause that [10:54] kale: see /var/lib/NetworkManager/ for the leases files [10:55] i actually do not know what it uses, its a fresh server installation [10:55] server will use systemd-networkd [10:58] Hello, is bash script sequential or parallel with respect to different lines? [10:58] sequential [10:58] sequential [10:58] thanks [10:58] ramsub07: add a "&" in the end of the line, and it will run in the background [10:59] kale: I actually want it to be sequential :) [11:00] also, what is the fastest way to copy into a mounted directory, that doesn't preserve the owner and groups of a particular file ? [11:01] i guess cp, but sometimes tar cf - |(cd dest; tar xf -) [11:05] hello [11:05] hay sentiment [11:06] Is there a way to change the alt tab behavior to make it switch to the last used window in a program with multiple-windows open? [11:06] In standard ubuntu gnome ? [11:06] yes [11:06] right now everytime I switch to that program it shows both instances of the program [11:07] sentiment: yes, I do it through an extension [11:07] managed through gnome-tweaks [11:07] even if I specifically select one of the windows, next time it does the same thing [11:07] ok, what's the name? [11:07] Alright, been tempted to make the switch, but there is a couple of things I really can't find online. Microsoft Exchange email support, is there anything that gives you a "like outlook" experience? [11:07] and why is not the default behaviour?! [11:07] sentiment: i use AlternateTab [11:08] ZidaneRick: evolution with evolution-ews [11:08] connects to my office365 buisnsess email/calendar/todo etc [11:09] I'm assuming the only thing it won't have any idea of is mail rules? [11:09] What are the parameters to be set to --no-preserve argument in gcp command if i don't want the ownership of the file to be transferred to the destination ? [11:09] I suppose OWA is probably another option I could use [11:10] ZidaneRick: it should have mail rules ? you mean for auto forwarding / folders and auto replies based on rules? [11:10] I mean server side mail rule syncing [11:12] ZidaneRick: no idea, best thing to do is set aside 15 mins and give it ago [11:18] dpkg -l | grep apt [11:31] mjayk: I'm trying to install the extension using the gnome shell extensions plugin for firefox but it is not working. [11:32] Do you use Firefox for that task? [11:38] thanks, got it working ;) [11:39] I just got a new Canon Printer, it’s PIXMA TS9120. I’m running Ubuntu 16.04. Canon only has drivers for Windows and Macs. I looked at [11:39] https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=247471 Notes on using Canon Pixma TS series printers in Mint 17 & 18 [11:39] but Canon has the drivers for their printer, not mine. Can I use CUPS? Can someone help please? [11:46] mjayk: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/878/alt-tab-list-first-window/ [11:47] this was more to the point for me :) [11:47] is networkd-dispatcher responsible for getting an IP via dhcp? [11:48] I think it is networkManager [11:48] network manager is not installed [11:52] kale: for details on how networkd works, you might get better answers in #ubuntu-server [11:57] ducasse: thanks [11:59] Hi folks [12:12] So I managed to somehow fuck up my apt and I have no clue what I've done. /etc/apt/sources.list was suddenly empty and the only file in /etc/apt/. I made a gist with the output of 'history' and it was around line 428 when trying to install nfs-common that I first noticed the issue. Anyone got any idea what might've gone wrong? https://gist.github.com/fe5bb13e7067357958302128ca12e62a [12:13] Sorry, 419 is the line number where I first noticed the problem [12:14] (fresh install at line 1) [12:16] And any idea how to fix it? I tried downloading the apt deb package from here https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/amd64/apt/download and just tried to 'dkpg -i' that package but it didn't fix it [12:16] Maybe I should just do a new fresh install [12:19] maetthew: " sudo subl /etc/apt/sources.list" looks suspect; there is no 'update' after that, and it looks like you manually intervened [12:21] i installed windows 10, and i insert usb of ubuntu, but the message is shown : the system is resuming from S4 state. [12:21] what’s wrong? [12:21] i want to do dual booting [12:23] no one know it? [12:24] !patience | keychain [12:24] keychain: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or https://ubuntuforums.org or https://askubuntu.com/ [12:24] yeah [12:24] :( [12:25] TJ-: Hmm yeah you're right no update after that. AFAIK I only uncommented bionic-updates universe multiverse there. But I might've borked big time [12:26] TJ-: But that doesn't explain why /etc/apt/sources.list was the only file in /etc/apt? [12:27] maetthew: the other option I can imagine is if you've mounted something over /etc/apt/ [12:27] maetthew: it's also possible one of those many shell scripts that were executed as 'su' messed with it [12:33] TJ-: Hmm. Searching for "/etc/apt" and/or "su " in the history I can't really find something that suggests that [12:33] maetthew: I saw "mount -a" which relies on whatever is in /etc/fstab [12:34] maetthew: looking at a command list is opaque so I can only give you hints as to possibilities [12:34] I've installed Chrony so I can use AWS timeserver, but how do I uninstall the original NTP thing? To get rid of this message in syslog: systemd-timesyncd[640]: Timed out waiting for reply from 91.189.89.198:123 (ntp.ubuntu.com). [12:35] TJ-: I understand. Thanks anyway. /etc/fstab is only: https://gist.github.com/maetthew/e9373bd8b847ecf3a1160c3418518851 [12:37] Is there a better way than 'history' to backlog what you've done? [12:39] maetthew: well, for commands issued using sudo /var/log/auth.log usually records them. All apt activity gets recorded in /var/log/apt/ as history and terminal logs [12:39] TJ-: Thanks a bunch [12:40] maetthew: for forensics like this, check the timestamps of /etc/apt and the file itself, see if that can be correlated with the other activity [12:40] keychain: You need to shut down Windows 10, not hibernate [12:41] rory: can i install ubuntu on windows 10 without booting? [12:41] so i can install ubuntu when windows 10 is on? [12:41] no, you should shut down windows 10, then reboot your PC and there should be an option to boot from the USB flash drive [12:42] that will depend on your PC model. On my PC I press Enter during boot to get a menu [12:42] but there is no usb :( [12:42]
