[00:00] <hggdh> exell: please run sudo software-properties-gtk (or software-properties-qt, depending on your env), and enable 'source code'
[00:01] <exell> it goes to a line.. do I click revert?
[00:01] <hggdh> exell: I am sorry, but I have no idea of what you are talking about
[00:02] <exell> the first 4x boxes have ticks in them, when I enable source code, the box puts a horizonal line through it. Where the 'ok' button would normally be, it says 'revert'?
[00:05] <exell> I could send you a screenshot?
[00:05] <hggdh> exell: sorry, cannot reproduce. OK. Edit /etc/apt/sources.list and: for each uncommented line that starts with 'deb ', (1) duplicate it, and (2) change 'deb ' to 'deb-src '
[00:06] <hggdh> exell: THEN sudo apt update
[00:06] <hggdh> exell: THEN sudo apt build-dep openalpr
[00:08] <VlanX> hello guys. I have an user that should have read access to a log file which is owned by another user. I tried to set chmod 775 but I still have access denied. What am I doing wrong?
[00:09] <exell> @hggdh the sources all have a line with -src below them
[00:10] <hggdh> exell: uncommented?
[00:10] <exell> yeah
[00:11] <exell> example:
[00:11] <exell> deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic main restricted
[00:11] <exell> deb-src http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic multiverse universe main restricted #Added by software-properties
[00:12] <hggdh> exell: verify you have a deb line for universe enabled
[00:14] <hggdh> exell: or, if you prefer, pastebin your current cources.lsit
[00:15] <exell> @hggdh https://pastebin.com/eSjFfSbC
[00:17] <hggdh> exell: please uncomment line 20
[00:18] <exell> all done sir
[00:18] <hggdh> exell: did you run apt update already?
[00:19] <exell> yeah, 13MB update
[00:19] <hggdh> exell: if not, please do, then run the build-dep, and tell us if any packages were installed
[00:20] <exell> unable to locate package build-dep :(
[00:20] <hggdh> exell: sudo apt build-dep openalpr
[00:21] <exell> it downloaded 1x package
[00:21] <hggdh> exell: good. Now, it may be that running cmake again, and then make, will succeed. Perhaps
[00:22] <exell> ok.. let me try.. :)
[00:24] <exell> sorry @hggdh failed again, i'll paste bin the whole error
[00:25] <exell> https://pastebin.com/Ymivjzpy
[00:30] <hggdh> exell: that's a scope error -- meaning the source is probably wrong; better talk with the devs
[00:31] <exell> no worries... thanks for letting me know
[00:31] <exell> i'll post it as a bug on the github. Hopefully they'll sort it :D
[00:35] <GunArm> does anyone know what kernel versions support amd zen2 (2nd gen threadripper)?  I'm getting constant repeated hanging trying to install ubuntu 18.04 and 18.10 (desktop and server).  But memtest runs fine for hours and windows installs fine (and is stable running SETI@Home for days)
[00:35] <GunArm> it's just ubuntu that freezes up after an indeterminate time running
[00:35] <GunArm> (or ubuntu installer)
[00:36] <GunArm> If possible I'd like to verify that zen2 is even supported
[00:54] <shibboleth> seriously, still no updates?
[00:55] <shibboleth> polkit, libarchive, openssl, libextractor, wireshark
[00:58] <SirIguan> hi can we use this channel for technical problem or should I refer to the forums?
[00:58] <tomreyn> GunArm: update your bios, look (hard, not easy to find) for the BIOS setting called 'Power Supply Idle Control', set it to the non satndard value of 'Typical current idle'.
[00:59] <seven-eleven> hi, will security updates automatically be installed on ubuntu 18.04 LTS or do I need to install and configure "unattended-upgrades" to accomplish this?
[01:00] <tomreyn> GunArm: or, if you get very bored, read https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196683 and https://community.amd.com/thread/225795
[01:00] <tomreyn> SirIguan: if you're looking for ubuntu support, this is a good place (but the forums work, too)
[01:01] <tomreyn> seven-eleven: if you chose to have them automatically installed during installation, they will be, if you haven't, or there was no such option, you'll need to configure unattended-upgrades accordingly
[01:01] <SirIguan> thank you tomreyn, I am a bit new with IRC chat so if there's anything I need to type to ease conversation let me know!
[01:02] <tomreyn> SirIguan: will do. for now, if you have a question, just ask.
[01:02] <tomreyn> note that the folks working on the forums and those working on irc are not usually the same (though there are exceptions), and they work separately.
[01:08] <SirIguan> whenever I try to install something via the terminal using apt-get I get the following message : Errors were encountered while processing. I tried to fix it with «sudo apt-get -f install» which resulted in this message :
[01:08] <SirIguan> Errors were encountered while processing:
[01:08] <SirIguan>  /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-4.4.0-141-generic_4.4.0-141.167_amd64.deb
[01:08] <SirIguan> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[01:09] <SirIguan> Next, some website suggested doing «sudo dpkg --configure -a»
[01:09] <linuxgecko> Bashing-om: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/kP4KGn3m6B/
[01:10] <SirIguan> which then points all the files or name that seems to be faulty : namely these linux-image-extra-4.4.0-141-generic
[01:10] <SirIguan> linux-generic
[01:10] <SirIguan> I've read that I shouldn't mess with those kind of files especially if I don't know what they do
[01:11] <GunArm> tomreyn: the most interesting thing about this is that, having run heavy processing loads for days to verify there was no issue in windows, I wonder if I was preventing the issue.  The crashes in ubuntu are like, on a blinking console with literally nothing happening.  Maybe windows would crash if I left it idle?
[01:12] <GunArm> I'll try that power supply idle control setting
[01:12] <Bashing-om> linuxgecko: " 23 not upgraded. " . Show us the pastie of ' sudo apt update ; sudo apt full-upgrade ' . See if this will fix that grub issue .
[01:13] <Jonno_FTW> hello
[01:13] <Jonno_FTW> I have a problem running sudo apt install gdm3, I get unmet dependencies error on libgdm1 and gir1.2-gdm-1.0
[01:14] <tomreyn> GunArm: this is an ubuntu support channel. we can discuss this hardware and how ti behaves with different OS in #ubuntu.offtopic, if you like.
[01:15] <tomreyn> that's #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:16] <Wonny> How do I get back to my input command line? For example, I input grep x and then it never goes back to default.
[01:16] <tomreyn> ctrl-c
[01:17] <Wonny> tomreyn, thanks!
[01:17] <SlidingHorn> Jonno_FTW: version and flavor of ubuntu?
[01:17] <seven-eleven> tomreyn, how can I make sure they are automatically installed? I have 4 different ubuntu installations. usually I select "automatic install" but im not sure if I selected it in all my installations
[01:18] <tomreyn> Jonno_FTW: run apt-get update, then apt-get install gdm3, then show both these commands you typed and their output on the ubuntu pastebin
[01:18] <tomreyn> !paste | Jonno_FTW
[01:18] <tomreyn> Wonny: you're welcome!
[01:18] <GunArm> tomreyn: not necessary, thanks for the tip I'll pursue it
[01:19] <tomreyn> seven-eleven: you read the man page of unattended-upgrades and edit /etc/apt/conf.d/50-unattended-upgrades
[01:19] <Jonno_FTW> SlidingHorn: ubuntu 18
[01:20] <tomreyn> GunArm: you're welcome.
[01:20] <SlidingHorn> Jonno_FTW: Ubuntu 18(?) - also, see tomreyn's message to you
[01:21] <Jonno_FTW> tomreyn: I did that and ended up with the same error, I'll paste it now , is there a curl command to use that paste site?
[01:22] <seven-eleven> tomreyn, gotcha, so I just have to check if unattended-upgrades is installed already and configured, ubuntu installer does it for me if I select that option during installation
[01:23] <tomreyn> Jonno_FTW: there's no such thing as "ubuntu 18" version numbers are in XX.YY format.
[01:23] <tomreyn> !pastebinit | Jonno_FTW
[01:23] <Jonno_FTW> it's ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
[01:24] <tomreyn> seven-eleven: yes, if you select automatic upgrades during installation, then unattended-upgrades is not only installed (it is by default) but also enabled (the configuration is changed).
[01:25] <tomreyn> Jonno_FTW: great, that's something we can work with! :)
[01:25] <Jonno_FTW> it seems the machine has no internet access
[01:25] <Jonno_FTW> after it decieded to uninstall network-manager
[01:26] <tomreyn> i have yet to see an installation which decides to do that by itself
[01:26] <SlidingHorn> Jonno_FTW: I assure you, it didn't decide that without your help :P
[01:26] <Jonno_FTW> ofc
[01:26] <Jonno_FTW> the admin tried to uninstall policykit
[01:26] <Jonno_FTW> and it took gdm3 with it
[01:27] <SlidingHorn> Jonno_FTW: why on earth did they do that?
[01:27] <Jonno_FTW> they had some weird permission setup
[01:28] <Jonno_FTW> oh wait network manager is installed
[01:33] <seven-eleven> tomreyn, thanks!
[01:34] <tomreyn> seven-eleven: you're welcome!
[01:42] <Jonno_FTW> oh wait the ethernet cable came loose
[01:55] <linuxgecko> Bashing-om:  I'm not familiar with the apt like i used to be, full-upgrade does what?
[01:56] <frib> since installing 18.04lts my touchpad taps don't work -- how can I fix this? thanks
[02:03] <tomreyn> linuxgecko: my understanding is that "apt full-upgrade" does the same as "apt dist-upgrade"
[02:06] <tomreyn> that is, make the dependency resolver consider package removals to reach its goals, as well as install new dependencies where needed to keep packages current.
[02:16] <aum> after upgrading from 16.x to 18.04LTS, the application windows have been hanging for a few seconds every couple of minutes; dmesg and top show no big hits on resources - anyone got any ideas?
[02:18] <kingemp_> Hi there, I just absentmindedly made a big mistake: I deleted two partitions at the beginning of my drive using disks. My root was not affected, but boot (and something else?) was. Anyone know if this can be undone? It happened instantly so I'm guessing data is still on HDD, just MBR is now bad?
[02:19] <kingemp_> I'm using a GUID partition Table, and deleted in the Disks app on ubuntu 18.04
[02:19] <kingemp_> naturally I have not rebooted
[02:22] <WoC> kingemp_, gparted , recovery option should work
[02:24] <jccrown> Hello all :)  Do people get mad when noobs come asking for easy help? :)
[02:24] <Jonno_FTW> no
[02:24] <WoC> Nah, we get even ;)
[02:24] <Jonno_FTW> well maybe if it's obvious you neglected to google the question first
[02:25] <jccrown> I did google it and ran out of options then googled ubuntu chat :D
[02:25] <jccrown> and it wasnt easy to get here for me !
[02:25] <jccrown> :D
[02:26] <jccrown> had to download IRC, figure it out, and register a nick :D
[02:26] <WoC> All in one day ? ;)
[02:26] <jccrown> Awesome, I have a very probably noob question...just bought a BRIX PC (J1900) and got it put together with a boot usb for latest version off amazon...
[02:26] <mo4z> download irc?
[02:27] <OneM_Industries> o/
[02:27] <WoC> ;] Might be a large download ;)
[02:27] <mo4z> :)
[02:27] <mo4z> if i do wget http://  , do i download internet
[02:27] <tomreyn> aum: what's your ahrdware?
[02:27] <mo4z> ?
[02:27] <jccrown> First time it booted up for install and then took over an hour on the "updates and other software" so I restarted the PC...but now it hangs on ubuntu purple screen
[02:28] <jccrown> and no matter what I do it won't pass ubuntu purple screen
[02:28] <kingemp_> WoC: thx, recovery did find the two partitions, but they are read only. Do you know how I write back to the partition table?
[02:28] <kingemp_> I used gparted's "attempt data recovery"
[02:29] <jccrown> brix j1900 8GB cricial ddr3l and a 1 tb WD Blue
[02:29] <WoC> Did you apply ?
[02:29] <jccrown> it has nothing on the harddrive, all the hardware is right out of the box and its booting from a usb
[02:30] <WoC> kingemp_, if you dont have anything pending, you should be good
[02:30] <WoC> just make sure nothing is pending before you reboot
[02:31] <kingemp_> Woc, nothing is pending, although gparted shows 3.5GB of unallocated space at beginning of drive
[02:31] <kingemp_> where my two partitions are supposed to be
[02:31] <jccrown> the boot repair thing loads up super quickly when I selected it (just to see what it was) but it didnt actually repair anything, it was able to generate a report but the keyboard didnt work on it for some reason so I couldn't put in my wifi password to go online.  I considered copy pasting characters from the report to fill the pw screen and clicking connect to get online that way but what would be the use
[02:32] <WoC> Kingemp, refresh devices
[02:33] <kingemp_> Woc, no change on refresh. Attempt data rescue finds the partitions but does not make any changes it appears
[02:34] <tomreyn> jccrown: if i'm getting you right you say you were forced to interrupt the installation since it didnt seem to proceed anymore. this may happen when either the installation or the target storage are somehow incoherent.
[02:34] <kingemp_> "All mounted views will be unmounted when you close this dialog"
[02:34] <jccrown> @tomreyn worked first time, loaded the "try ubuntu without installing" couldnt figure out how to install it from there so rebooted and selected install, loaded up fine and got to  "updates and other software" where it hang over an hour.  Rebooted PC to try again but has not passed purple screen since (doesnt matter if I pick try or install)
[02:34] <WoC> kingemp_, this may be a good time to create that rescue cd / usb-stick
[02:35] <tomreyn> jccrown: i would suggest you re-create the installer usb stroage fresh, then actually verify it was properly written (you can use "etcher" for both) and then see if it goes any better, don't select the option to install updates while you're installing this time, in case you chose this last time.
[02:35] <WoC> I would close down gparted and re-launch it
[02:36] <jccrown> @tomreyn I hate to erase it and write it again since I paid extra from amazon to not have to do that lol...can I boot it on another pc to cancel out the possibility it may be the usb's fault?
[02:39] <tomreyn> jccrown: you can repeatedly hit escape while booting the other computer off the usb and select the media test / verify cdrom option from the menu. it's just just as good as writing the installer from scratch but may help, too.
[02:40] <kingemp_> WoC: have a recovery iso, thx. fdisk shows only one partition so they are indeed missing. `sudo gpart /dev/nvme0n1` seems to recognize the partitions, although it thinks my ext4 root is Linux ext2 filesystem
[02:40] <jccrown> @tomreyn I have made some progress, unplugged everything from it and put it back in and now its not detecting usb...so thats good :D
[02:41] <tomreyn> jccrown: you can also check whether it's fake flash using http://oss.digirati.com.br/f3/ (sudo apt.get install f3)
[02:41] <kingemp_> I understand I can write with `sudo gpart -W /dev/nvme0n1 /dev/nvme0n1`, although I'm not sure how to change the type to ext4? Does that matter?
[02:41] <tomreyn> jccrown: how is it good if usb devices are not detected?
[02:41] <jccrown> because I made it do something different lol
[02:42] <jccrown> progress instead of same thing over and over
[02:42] <WoC> kingemp_, i reckon the journal is damaged and causes it to be detected as ext2
[02:43] <WoC> kingemp_, i would suggest backing up and re-install
[02:44] <tomreyn> jccrown: so this looks as if the usb is not providing enough current. try unplugging devices you don't strictly depend on, then reconnect the installer usb storage.
[02:44] <jccrown> now I have a non-ubuntu problem, the thing wont even let me to in to settings it just says "reboot and select proper boot device" over and over, so i'll do some more googling and come back to you thanks for your help
[02:45] <tomreyn> jccrown: there is also ##hardware here, which you can also join
[02:45] <jccrown> thanks!
[02:45] <kingemp_> Woc, hmmm would like to avoid that. Theoretically I'm two gpart commands away from being fixed. Here's the sectors for my missing partitions: https://pastebin.com/9mQxZfmn
[02:46] <kingemp_> I think one partition is from Dell (stock ubuntu) so don't even know how to restore that with a reinstall
[02:47] <WoC> ok, kingemp_ the #1 seems to be the EFISYS and #2 /boot
[02:47] <WoC> usually /boot is ext2
[02:48] <WoC> #1 being 1/2 GB and #2 3GB
[02:49] <WoC> since yo have the start and end, you could add it manual
[02:49] <jccrown> @tomreyn I did a thing, the previous problem was simple fix wrong boot order now im back to trying to get ubuntu to work again....this time I pressed esc to get rid of purple screen and I have some information
[02:49] <jccrown> can I upload a picture to imgur and post it here?
[02:50] <WoC> kingemp_, u should prolly change the type for #2 as it ought to be ext2 and #1, set bootflag
[02:50] <kingemp_> Woc, good intel, thx!
[02:51] <tomreyn> jccrown: sure
[02:51] <WoC> np :)
[02:52] <tomreyn> WoC, kingemp_: i think kingemp_ mentioned that the second partition was some vendor (dell) recovery partition. this may well be fat32 as it says.
[02:52] <jccrown> @tomreyn https://i.imgur.com/SkinnE0.jpg
[02:52] <tomreyn> also 3 GB is unusually large for /boot
[02:52] <WoC> oh
[02:52] <kingemp_> tomreyn: ahh ty
[02:53] <tomreyn> jccrown: so this is while you'Re trying to boot the ubuntu installer / live system form a usb flash storage?
[02:54] <jccrown> yes this is the "try without installing"
[02:54] <tomreyn> which ubuntu version is this for?
[02:54] <jccrown> I pressed esc this time and glad I did, because its obviously not going to move from here just waiting for nothing....they really should stop the animation
[02:54] <jccrown> 18.04
[02:54] <jccrown> LTE AMD64 desktoip
[02:55] <kingemp_> Woc, jccrown: how do I use `chs:  (0/1/1)-(1023/15/63)d (0/1/1)-(8126/15/63)r`? Not sure how to convert that to start/end in MiB or sectors
[02:55] <tomreyn> LTE? Do you mean LTS?
[02:55] <jccrown> yes sorry
[02:55] <tomreyn> jccrown: i don't think you're get around re-creating this usb installer.
[02:56] <jccrown> yeah it looks like it huh
[02:56] <tomreyn> * you'll
[02:56] <jccrown> waste of $20 :(
[02:56] <WoC> kingemp_, p#1 s(2048-1026047) p#2 s(1026048-7317503)
[02:56] <kingemp_> I guess I use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylinder-head-sector#CHS_to_LBA_mapping ..?
[02:56] <kingemp_> or perhaps there's a way to use CHS directly with parted?
[02:56] <jccrown> @tomreyn uhh, I did a thing I didn't think would work?  I pressed enter...and now its going again
[02:57] <WoC> i used the info you posted on pastebin
[02:57] <kingemp_> oh! awesome ty!
[02:57] <WoC> np, you provided it
[02:58] <kingemp_> so the command would be `sudo gpart /dev/nvme0n1 p#1 s(2048-1026047) p#2 s(1026048-7317503)` ?
[02:58] <WoC> kingemp_, the chs would be the very last resort and likely to fail
[02:59] <WoC> No, not sure about the syntax, but you have the start and end of each partition
[03:00] <WoC> man gpart
[03:00] <reaga> is linux more stable than windows when it comes to handling/deleting/writing lots of small files at once
[03:00] <tomreyn> jccrown: some of these errors can actually be ok if they're on a live / installer. the live system thinks it is able to write to the disk it is supposedly installed on, but it actually cannot write to that since it doesn't have permission to / its file system is a read-only one.
[03:02] <tomreyn> reaga: neither should become unstable with this task. but if the storage is in a bad state, this could happen, of course.
[03:03] <jccrown> @tomreyn https://i.imgur.com/3lyCdxc.jpg now its on this, but it has not been that long so this is maybe the thing actually going to boot if I leave it long enough or??
[03:04] <tomreyn> jccrown: this has been booting for like a couple minutes now? how old is this hardware?
[03:05] <Ichimusai> Evening folks.
[03:05] <tomreyn> Ichimusai: hi there
[03:06] <tomreyn> jccrown: oh that'S a 2014 bay trail mini pc, i see.
[03:06] <WoC> kingemp_, you probably want to use gdisk to re-create the partitions
[03:07] <Ichimusai> tomreyn: Still writing on some code but closing up as it's 4am here. Anything cool going on?
[03:08] <tomreyn> Ichimusai: just support, after all theat's the only topic on this channel. there's #ubuntu-discuss and -offtopic for more.
[03:08] <Ichimusai> I'll seek them out. Cheers!
[03:09] <tomreyn> see you there!
[03:11] <tomreyn> kingemp_: if you haven't written to the partition table, yet, you can use testdisk to have the partitions recreated for you. it usually succeeds at this in this situation. i'm not going to guide, though (it's late and i need sleep).
[03:13] <jccrown> @tomreyn have I waited too long you think?
[03:13] <tomreyn> jccrown: yes
[03:13] <tomreyn> jccrown: my point there is it should not take that long in the first place. but bay trail systems are not well supported
[03:13] <sabrehagen> anyone experienced this yet? https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/issues/7492
[03:15] <kingemp_> tomreyn: appreciate the tip. I'll do some googling
[03:15] <tomreyn> sabrehagen: i dont think this is supported here
[03:18] <sabrehagen> tomreyn: which part? the ubuntu part or the zsh part?
[03:19] <tomreyn> sabrehagen: i haven't looked intot the details of this bug tracker oir the software it is about. but it doesn't seem to be an ubuntu package.
[03:20] <tomreyn> !info oh-my-zsh
[03:20] <Ichimusai> tomreyn: It is not. It's a package to enhance zsh with specific macros and themes. It should run under almost any circumstance given a reasonable Linux.
[03:21] <Ichimusai> tomreyn: Normally installed via a one-liner with wget or curl from github, then processed by git which handles upgrades by rebasing. If it failes I bet there are stray .zsh* files laying about.
[03:22] <tomreyn> that's soemthing to discuss with its developer, i guess
[03:22] <WoC> Ichimusai, apparmor may have some part in it not working
[03:23] <Ichimusai> WoC: Perhaps, thoug I have used this package on multiple platforms, never had an issue. All is installed in the user local dir.
[03:23] <JPSman> Hey everyone!  I can't seem to CTRL-ALT-F1 to terminal anymore.  It doesn't work for me.
[03:23] <JPSman> I am on 18.04 using gnome-flashback
[03:23] <WoC> Hai, well bedtime here
[03:24] <Ichimusai> Sleep well.
[03:24] <WoC> Domo ;Ty Ichimusai-san
[03:35] <jccrown> @tomreyn why would it work up to a point and then stop working afterwards? isnt that strange?
[03:36] <jccrown> I mean it booted twice before I forced quit the installation
[03:36] <jccrown> now doesnt boot in at all
[03:41] <jccrown> could it have made some change that I can undo?
[03:53] <jccrown> Hello smart people.  I have booted in to this "boot-repair-disk" thing and I can access the usb with the ubuntu installation on it, how do I install it from the OS rather than from boot?
[04:00] <phoenix_firebrd> jccrown:
[04:01] <phoenix_firebrd> jccrown: hi
[04:01] <jccrown> hello
[04:01] <phoenix_firebrd> jccrown: where did you get the boot-repair-disk?
[04:02] <phoenix_firebrd> jccrown: you mean rescatux?
[04:02] <jccrown> I bought a bootable ubuntu usb on amazon and it was in the tools or something menu
[04:02] <jccrown> it might be called LXDE
[04:02] <jccrown> because it says "applications on LXDE"
[04:03] <phoenix_firebrd> so you want to install ubuntu from that usb?
[04:03] <jccrown> ubuntu tried to install once, I force quit because it took too long and since then I can't get it to boot at all so I booted in to this thing and its working fine and I want to try to install ubuntu from here since it works so smoothly
[04:04] <phoenix_firebrd> jccrown: you tried to install/upgrade on an existing ubuntu installation?
[04:05] <jccrown> no i just put this computer together, its a small mini pc
[04:05] <jccrown> everything is new including harddrive it has never been partitioned
[04:06] <phoenix_firebrd> jccrown: If so why not install again fresh?
[04:06] <phoenix_firebrd> jccrown: what is the source installation media?
[04:07] <jccrown> im very new, so first time i booted up i went in to "try without installing" and it worked but i couldnt figure out how to install so i rebooted and picked the install, and it worked but it took over an hour on "updates and other software" so i rebooted to try again
[04:07] <jccrown> but since then it has not passed the purple screen anymore
[04:07] <jccrown> its a bootable USB I bought on amazon preloaded, I'll give the link one moment
[04:08] <jccrown> https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CBTPZ7N/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
[04:08] <jccrown> "Linux Ubuntu Bionic Beaver 18.04 Desktop / Server 64bit + 17.04 Desktop and Server 32bit + Boot Repair Disk 64bit - Linux / Windows Repair Utility Multiboot Install Bootable Boot USB Flash Thumb Drive"
[04:08] <phoenix_firebrd> jccrown: can you select the boot device during start?
[04:08] <phoenix_firebrd> jccrown: like select the hard disk or usb to boot from?
[04:09] <jccrown> right now I have 3 choices flash, hdd, and some other weird thing, its on flash right now which is the usb
[04:09] <jccrown> the harddrive is completely new
[04:09] <phoenix_firebrd> jccrown: I guess your mini system is booting from the hdd
[04:09] <jccrown> but it goes to the ubuntu purple loading screen
[04:09] <jccrown> just doesnt leave it
[04:10] <phoenix_firebrd> jccrown: so If you want to start installation from the usb again you should choose the usb as the boot disk during the start
[04:10] <jccrown> even though it used to
[04:10] <jccrown> it is booting from usb because I get all the options and menus and it shows the ubuntu loading screen
[04:11] <phoenix_firebrd> jccrown: so when does this purple screen happen?
[04:12] <jccrown> sorry for the confusion, the loading screen is purple (and normal)
[04:12] <jccrown> it just never goes away
[04:12] <jccrown> if I hit esc before that screen to see what its doing I get this:
[04:12] <phoenix_firebrd> jccrown: do you know how to choose boot disk during startup
[04:13] <jccrown> https://i.imgur.com/SkinnE0.jpg
[04:13] <jccrown> and then if I press enter it continues until this:
[04:13] <jccrown> https://i.imgur.com/3lyCdxc.jpg
[04:13] <jccrown> where it stays stuck
[04:14] <jccrown> if i didnt select flash to boot first it would tell me no bootdisk press any key (something along those lines)
[04:14] <phoenix_firebrd> I think your root partition is corrupt and so it is getting mounted as read-only
[04:14] <pikia> Anyone use NoIP here? What are the ads like?
[04:14] <jccrown> I have no partitions
[04:14] <jccrown> should I make one?
[04:14] <phoenix_firebrd> jccrown: can you show me the options you get when you boot from usb?
[04:15] <phoenix_firebrd> jccrown: the partitions will be created during the installation automatically if the default install option is selected
[04:15] <jccrown> "continue to boot from first HD"
[04:16] <jccrown> "linux distrinutions"
[04:16] <jccrown> "system tools"
[04:16] <jccrown> says www.pendrivelinux.com on the bottom
[04:16] <jccrown> distributions*
[04:16] <phoenix_firebrd> when you choose "Linux distributions" what happens?
[04:17] <phoenix_firebrd> jccrown: how fast is your internet connection?
[04:17] <jccrown> ubuntu 18.04 desktop amd64 or live server amd63 or 17.04 desktopi386 or  server i386
[04:17] <jccrown> 1gig up/down
[04:18] <phoenix_firebrd> jccrown: so internet is not the issue here
[04:18] <jccrown> amd64*
[04:18] <phoenix_firebrd> jccrown: your mini pc's processor arch is 32 or 64 bit?
[04:19] <jccrown> its a 2ghz 4 core celeron that is 64 bit
[04:19] <phoenix_firebrd> jccrown: so what happens when you select "Ubuntu 18.04 desktop amd64"?
[04:19] <jccrown> its a brix j1900 pv
[04:19] <jccrown> its a brix j1900 pc*
[04:20] <jccrown> installer boot menu:
[04:20] <jccrown> Try ubuntu without installing
[04:20] <jccrown> install ubuntu
[04:20] <jccrown> check disk for defects
[04:20] <jccrown> test memory
[04:20] <jccrown> boot from first hard disk
[04:20] <jccrown> advanced options or help
[04:20] <phoenix_firebrd> choose intall ubuntu
[04:20] <phoenix_firebrd> what do you see now
[04:21] <jccrown> first a black screen with flashing cursor
[04:21] <jccrown> then its going to be the purple ubuntu loading screen
[04:21] <jccrown> its purple and says ubuntu and has animated dots
[04:22] <jccrown> the first time i tried this it worked, and thats when it froze on the update options page after I pressed continue
[04:22] <jccrown> and since then it has never worked past this animated purple screen
[04:22] <jccrown> if I press esc key then it shows me that text I sent you in the pictures
[04:22] <phoenix_firebrd> jccrown: I think your installation media/usb is corrupt
[04:23] <jccrown> can I try to install it from that live version of linux on the disk repair thing?
[04:23] <phoenix_firebrd> choose this option "check disk for defects"
[04:25] <jccrown> it was the purple ubuntu screen and  then rebooted
[04:25] <phoenix_firebrd> that happens when you choose "check disk for defects"?
[04:26] <jccrown> yes
[04:26] <snowgoggles> jccrown: that usb installer build sounds pooched
[04:27] <jccrown> I made a video of the text that went across the screen before it rebooted
[04:27] <jccrown> because it was too fast to read
[04:27] <jccrown> (pressing esc on the loading screen)
[04:28] <jccrown> it says "checking integrity this may take some time"
[04:29] <jccrown> and then "[    24.142777] reboot: restarting system"
[04:29] <phoenix_firebrd> jccrown: after checking the disk and fixing errors the system may reboot automatically I think, have you rebooted and tried the install ubuntu option again?
[04:29] <jccrown> I have before yes
[04:30] <phoenix_firebrd> no after the disk check
[04:30] <jccrown> I can edit the install command, dont know if thats helpful
[04:31] <jccrown> I have run the disk check before and tried to install since then
[04:33] <phoenix_firebrd> jccrown: Is there any Os that are in the usb pendrive that you can boot into and erase any partition in the hdd >
[04:33] <phoenix_firebrd> jccrown: Is there any Os that are in the usb pendrive that you can boot into and erase any partition in the hdd >?
[04:34] <jccrown> yes the boot repair is a full OS of some sort
[04:34] <jccrown> it has a partition app
[04:35] <phoenix_firebrd> jccrown: ok open it and see if there is any partition on your hdd
[04:35] <jccrown> Yes I have, there are none
[04:35] <jccrown> 1 black 1 TB drive
[04:35] <phoenix_firebrd> no partition on it?
[04:35] <jccrown> nope
[04:35] <phoenix_firebrd> do you have any other pendrive?
[04:36] <gambl0r3> im running this command - sudo snap install --classic heroku
[04:36] <jccrown> no I paid for this one hoping to save me the trouble of making one lol
[04:36] <gambl0r3> installation completes but its still not working
[04:36] <gambl0r3> https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-cli#other-installation-methods
[04:36] <gambl0r3> can anyone help me?
[04:37] <phoenix_firebrd> jccrown: I have to go now, I will be back in 15 mins
[04:37] <jccrown> thanks for the help <3
[04:39] <gambl0r3> helllo?
[04:47] <phoenix_firebrd> jccrown: are you there
[04:48] <phoenix_firebrd> gambl0r3: hi
[04:59] <SlidingHorn> gambl0r3: "not working" doesn't really give us much to go on.  What command are you running, and what is the response?  What's supposed to happen/What *actually* happens? What version/flavor of Ubuntu?  (for multiple lines, use a pastebin)
[05:33] <jccrown> @phoenix_firebrd hello
[06:27] <jccrown> @pheonix_firebrd @tomreyn you guys were right it was a bad USB
[07:03] <OlofL> I installed a release candidate of linux kernel for my ubuntu 18.10. can I just dpkg uninstall this like any other app?
[07:04] <AndyChow888> OlofL, you'll probably have to regenerate the initramfs, and headers.
[07:36] <Muligan> hey fellas
[07:36] <Muligan> i've an atom/nvidia ion based machine here
[07:37] <Muligan> trying to load up both 16.04 & 18.04, boots into blank screen, both on vga & hdml
[07:37] <Muligan> hdmi rather
[07:37] <Muligan> suggestions?
[07:38] <AndyChow888> Muligan, you need to install the nvidia-340 driver
[07:38] <AndyChow888> You can, from the blank screen, type ctrl+f2, then log in the terminal, and install it.
[07:39] <bleb> hey does ubuntu enable tuned or TLP by default to save laptop battery power?
[07:39] <bleb> or does this need to be installed/configured manually
[07:39] <Muligan> AndyChow888, i haven't even gotten to the screen to perform the install
[07:39] <Muligan> is there a cmd based install method?
[07:40] <AndyChow888> I have a machine like yours. Mine is the revo r3610
[07:40] <Muligan> this is an scer veriton n282g
[07:40] <AndyChow888> bleb, yes. Go into power management to configure.
[07:41] <Muligan> what's the method for non gui based install?
[07:41] <AndyChow888> Muligan, You can't boot the usb-key?
[07:41] <Muligan> I am booting usb
[07:41] <Muligan> goes through the intial cycle as usual
[07:41] <Muligan> then just ends up blank/screen is turned off/low pwoer mode
[07:41] <AndyChow888> Muligan, then, you can blank screen with a flashing - top left?
[07:41] <Muligan> no flashing
[07:42] <Muligan> screen literally goes to sleep
[07:42] <Muligan> 2 diff monitors
[07:42] <Muligan> one vga, other hdmi
[07:42] <Muligan> thing worked w/o a problem on other os's
[07:42] <Muligan> it's not the hardware
[07:42] <Muligan> driver i'm thinking
[07:42] <AndyChow888> Muligan, you get any ubuntu screen at all? Like "try, install, test ram"?
[07:43] <AndyChow888> Nothing past POST?
[07:44] <Muligan> oh yea
[07:44] <Muligan> it psots
[07:44] <Muligan> boots the install from usb
[07:44] <Muligan> but through the booting, it ends up turning off
[07:44] <Muligan> sleep rather
[07:45] <AndyChow888> Humm. Strange. You might try the ubuntu-server install. But, humm, it's not normal.
[07:46] <AndyChow888> The first past-post screen should be a terminal curse type thing, where you can select a non-graphical install, and that should work without the nvidia driver.
[07:47] <AndyChow888> But if you see nothing after the post, then I have no idea.
[07:51] <Muligan> trying again w/the walk-thru
[07:51] <Muligan> isntead of letting it boot to the 'try-me' mode
[07:53] <Mr_Cyclops> Mathisen, hello
[07:57] <Mr_Cyclops> Hello. I am trying to remember the ID of the buddy I was talking to the last time I visited this Channel (about a week ago), but can't recall
[07:57] <Mr_Cyclops> Is there a way to find that out in IRC? Thanks ...
[07:58] <ducasse> !log | Mr_Cyclops
[07:58] <AndyChow888> Muligan, yeah, if you see "try-me", good. Go instead to advanced, at the bottom, then choose text install.
[07:59] <Muligan> should I try 'nomodeset'?
[08:01] <rory> Mr_Cyclops: you were talking to matsaman who is not here right now
[08:20] <Mr_Cyclops> ducasse, thank you, let me check it out
[08:22] <Mr_Cyclops> ducasse, I'll be damned! I had no idea! This is freaking amazing :D Thanks again a million ton!!
[08:23] <ducasse> Mr_Cyclops: yw
[08:24] <Mr_Cyclops> found his ID :D Oh you made my day buddy :)

[08:49] <Dirkos> I have a problem that my network keeps disconnecting all the time (cable). Running a Intel I218-LM with Ubuntu 18.04
[08:49] <Dirkos> Any idea where to look? All packages are up to date so
[08:50] <phoenix_firebrd> Dirkos: hi
[08:50] <NorthwestVegan> have you tried a different cable?
[08:50] <Dirkos> NorthwestVegan: yeah already did
[08:51] <NorthwestVegan> :(
[08:51] <Dirkos> and hooked to a switch with a collegue and he has no problems
[08:51] <NorthwestVegan> hmmm
[08:51] <Dirkos> Problem is that the network switch doesnt see any hickups as well
[08:51] <Dirkos> so guess its driver related or so
[08:53] <NorthwestVegan> my dmesg say im using: igb: Intel(R) Gigabit Ethernet Network Driver - version 5.4.0-k
[08:53] <NorthwestVegan> *my
[08:53] <NorthwestVegan> maybe you could grep for which yours is using

[09:10] <clorisu> hi, does anyone know why my bluetooth keyboard wont show up in bluetoothctl scan?
[09:17] <phoenix_firebrd> clorisu: is your bluetooth receiver support the bluetooth version of your keyboard?
[09:20] <clorisu> how can i check that phoenix_firebrd?
[09:22] <phoenix_firebrd> clorisu: check the product manual of the keyboard given with the keyboard or on the keyboard manufacturer's website and do the same for the bluetooth receiver. If you don't mind I can check for you if you tell me the model no of the keyboard
[09:23] <clorisu> this is the keyboard https://miniso-au.com/en-au/product/13006/classic-bluetooth-keyboard-white
[09:24] <clorisu> cant seem to find model no on box
[09:25] <phoenix_firebrd> clorisu: Is there any info of bluetooth on the back side of the keyboard
[09:28] <clorisu> phoenix_firebrd:  it says: 'miniso. classic BT keyboard. lot no.:021248171128. MSIP-CRM-mn8-K09
[09:29] <phoenix_firebrd> clorisu: run the following command and tell me what you see,       hciconfig -a | grep "HCI"
[09:30] <clorisu> phoenix_firebrd: `HCI Version: 4.1 (0x7)  Revision: 0x1000`
[09:33] <phoenix_firebrd> clorisu: have you read the instruction manual that came with the keyboard? bluetooth devices sometimes require to initiate paring mode to get it discovered
[09:33] <clorisu> yes phoenix_firebrd, it just asks me to hold the connect button on the back for 2 seconds until the light flashes which it does. it still doesnt show
[09:34] <phoenix_firebrd> it shows in any other device, for example on your mobile's bluetooth?
[09:35] <clorisu> yes it shows on my mobiles bluetoot
[09:38] <clorisu> @ phoenix_firebrd
[09:39] <phoenix_firebrd> clorisu: I don't know how to proceed except to ask you why are you using a cli app instead of an application front end
[09:39] <clorisu> ive tried blueman as well phoenix_firebrd, still doesnt show
[09:39] <clorisu> and 1 other
[09:40] <clorisu> im just using the cli in case the frontend was faulting me
[09:40] <OlofL> when im docked to two 27" monitors via thunderbolt, and i press super+L. everything freezes, but screen is not hidden.... the only thing that works is the gnome top right menu, and the hibernate button.
[09:41] <OlofL> also dock is shown after I wake up from hibernate, where you can see what programs are running, but screen is hidden with password prompt
[09:59] <Kingsy> how do I remove ufw and ALL firewall rules along with it? I don't want any firewall rules. I am sick of ports being blocked.
[10:06] <cesdo> Hi all
[10:06] <cesdo> Where I can find software for aarch64?
[10:07] <legreffier> Kingsy: just disable it
[10:07] <legreffier> Kingsy: sudo ufw disable
[10:08] <tarzeau> you can also just remove it, apt-get --purge remove ufw
[10:14] <hehela> hi
[10:15] <hehela> how do I find out the blocksize of a file; dd if=f1 of=f2 ibs=2 obs=1 count=3 ;
[10:23] <SwedeMike> hehela: please elaborate, what do you mean "blocksize of a file"?
[10:23] <SwedeMike> hehela: there is nothing in the file that tells dd block size, that's you deciding that when running dd
[10:27] <hehela> dd if=f1 of=f2 ibs=5 obs=2 count=3   how does this result in the same
[10:27] <hehela> but if it takes 5 bytes at a time, it should write 2 bytes at a time, in the above example
[10:27] <hehela> so the remaining last 3bytes should be chopped off, or truncated,  SwedeMike
[10:27] <tarzeau> what if it's a prime number size?
[10:28] <hehela> I delibaretly took a prime number. to show what I mean
[10:29] <SwedeMike> hehela: is there a practical application here? What are you trying to achieve?
[10:33] <hehela> SwedeMike: trying to understand dd.
[10:34] <hehela> for educational purpose.
[10:35] <SwedeMike> hehela: the only reason to use ibs and obs is if you're using some archaic block device that requires a specific block size for accessing it, such as a tape device. If you don't do that, then don't use ibs= and obs= because there is no need.
[10:36] <SwedeMike> hehela: so just use "bs=" and you get the same on input and output, and you don't have to worry about what does what when you do "seek" and "count" etc
[10:37] <hehela> but I want to understand what does ibs obs mean
[10:42] <SlidingHorn> hehela: man dd
[10:44] <hehela> I did SlidingHorn
[10:51] <EriC^^> hehela: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/bDCpx85JQY/
[10:52] <EriC^^> hehela: seems like ibs is input block size, and obs is output block size, notice the difference in records out line
[10:54] <EriC^^> i think it's limited but the ibs and count, and obs is how it'll be written, basically each record, like obs=1 with 4 bytes gave "4 records out"
[10:54] <EriC^^> so ibs and count limit what you're going to read, and obs dictates in what chunks it'll be written from dd's buffer
[11:03] <howefield> set weechat.look.buffer_time_format "${252}%H${245}%M${240}%S"
[11:09] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[11:14] <gregor3000> bit. i will let it play out (maybe i can fix it), but if i can't fix it, i was thinking to do a fresh install of 18.04 64bit. but when i would install it i would overwrite the current OS. this should leave current home intact. i was wondering what kind of issues i would be facing if i did that? i backed up /home and /etc folders
[11:15] <gregor3000> so overwriting a 32 bit OS with a 64bit one. wopuld that give me errors? i realise there will be residual files and lefovers, but there is plenty of space available
[11:16] <gregor3000> well... it cut off the first part of my message. to recap i am having issues with upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04 and i am trying to resolve it whgile working on plan B.
[11:20] <hehela> EriC^^: cool
[11:20] <hehela> but EriC^^ I have another question let's saY I have 6bytes - 'abcdef'
[11:21] <hehela> ibs=5 obs=3 count=1 ; then how is it written.
[11:21] <hehela> 5bytes is input, so only 3 bytes are written , but if count=2; then there will be 10 bytes.
[11:22] <hehela> but the file has only 6 bytes
[11:26] <hehela> can you give some truncate example, where the data truncates...  in `dd`
[11:26] <hehela> I want to see it truncate
[11:34] <Zic> hi, I'm trying to find how to do a unattended install of Ubuntu Server 18.04 with SUbiquity (not the debian-installer) and the only things I'm missing is the "late_command" option, to execute some command post install / pre-reboot after the last step of SUbiquity
[11:34] <Zic> do you have any clues on how to achieve that purpose?
[11:59] <EriC^^> hehela: abcdef  ibs=5 obs=3 count=1 ; then it would read abcde only and write them in chunks of 3
[12:04] <EriC^^> hehela: if you try dd ibs=6 count=2 instead of count=1 and pipe it to hexdump -C it shows an extra "0a" at the end
[12:04] <EriC^^> ah nevermind my input file actually contains a 0a
[12:05] <EriC^^> i guess nothing happens when you ask it to copy more than what's available, it just copies what's available
[12:27] <k0takbasser> Hi, I want to use some "Cracked" soft. To run it I'm using java jar command. How to sandbox it to have permissions only to port to working as proxy server?
[12:29] <tarzeau> k0takbasser: mind telling what the software is called?
[12:29] <k0takbasser> tarzeau, burp suite
[12:48] <py_dev> Hello
[12:48] <gregor3000> so everything upgraded except for kernel and this is causing issues
[12:49] <py_dev> So I've now got my live disk booted in trying to fix a kernel panic issue.
[12:50]  * py_dev is not sure whom they were talking to in this channel the last time. 
[12:50] <py_dev> Please how do I proceed in fixing my issue. The following, which appears at boot time.
[12:51] <py_dev>  /sbin/init: error while loading shared libraries: libseccomp.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[12:51] <ryuo> ... wow that system is hosed.
[12:52] <py_dev> ryuo: How do you mean?
[12:52] <ryuo> py_dev: that error means a shared library (.so) is missing.
[12:52] <ryuo> or at least cannot be found.
[12:53] <ryuo> usually the reason it can't be found is someone forgot to include it in the initramfs or dependencies are wrong.
[12:53] <py_dev> ryuo: I was told I could fix it with a live disk. I've got that up an running now.
[12:53] <ryuo> yes, by regenerating initrd, but i don't know if it will include the library or not.
[12:54] <py_dev> ryuo: Not sure what you mean, but I remember encountering an (initramfs) shell prior.
[12:54] <ryuo> py_dev: basically, you need to mount your system in a functional enough manner to run initramfs.
[12:55] <py_dev> Well, that was before this kernel panic. I don't even see that again.
[12:57] <brayden> What's the deal with au.archive.ubuntu.com returning London hosts?
[13:15] <ramsub07> Hi, how do i make my shell script stop and not execute the next lines if there were errors in the previous lines ?
[13:19] <py_dev> ryuo: Please help.
[13:19] <py_dev> This is what I have in my shell: https://pastebin.com/UWMjjVrU
[13:19] <py_dev> Anyone? ^
[13:20] <ryuo> ... and where do you have this?
[13:21] <ryuo> it must mean libseccomp2 is not installed.
[13:21] <ryuo> if it's a chroot and not an initramfs.
[13:22] <py_dev> ryuo: I used chroot via a live disk
[13:23] <ryuo> py_dev: what did you do? libseccomp2 should be installed by default.
[13:23] <py_dev> Also, please pay attention to the last 4 lines.
[13:23] <py_dev> ryuo: Nothing. I simply rebooted my system and found myself in this mess.
[13:23] <ryuo> o.O
[13:23] <py_dev> When I rebooted, at first, I landed in the initramfs shell.
[13:24] <ryuo> at this point it might be better to just reinstall... who knows what else might be broken.
[13:24] <py_dev> I can't remember what command I ran following a fix online. Then I rebooted.
[13:24] <py_dev> Now, the kernel panic issue came up.
[13:24] <py_dev> Is there no way to fix this missing library?
[13:25] <ryuo> py_dev: you can fix it, but there may be more serious issues present here.
[13:25] <ryuo> something broke your installation.
[13:25] <ubun_noob> hi
[13:25] <ryuo> py_dev: anyway. try this: dpkg -l | grep seccomp
[13:26] <ubun_noob> is it safe to full-upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04 ? or might it break system if unlucky?
[13:26] <ryuo> ubun_noob: that's a risk with any release upgrade.
[13:26] <py_dev> rubdos: ii  libseccomp2:amd64                             2.3.1-2.1ubuntu4                             amd64        high level interface to Linux seccomp filter
[13:26] <ryuo> ubun_noob: honestly I don't know.
[13:26] <ryuo> py_dev: dpkg -L libseccomp2
[13:27] <ubun_noob> ok thanx
[13:28] <py_dev> ryuo: https://pastebin.com/chHG1jAN
[13:28] <ryuo> ubun_noob: if you don't mind the hassle you can always do a fresh install of 18.04. just be sure to backup your home directory.
[13:29] <ryuo> py_dev: file /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libseccomp.so.2.3.1
[13:29] <ramsub07>  Hi, how do i make my shell script stop and not execute the next lines if there were errors in the previous lines ?
[13:29] <ryuo> ramsub07: set -e, though beware its limitations.
[13:29] <ramsub07> ryuo: what are its limitation?
[13:30] <py_dev> ryuo: Should I run that or is that  the missing lib?
[13:30] <ryuo> ramsub07: how it works. it makes the script stop if a command returns non-zero exit status, but shell pipelines can make this more complicated.
[13:30] <gregor3000> ubun_noob: shoulčd be safe, but backup is always needed. just doing 14.04-->16.04 it all went wrong with kernel panic on top, so i am now doing a "fresh" install of 18.04
[13:30] <ryuo> py_dev: run it, just to see if the file is even present.
[13:30] <ryuo> py_dev: it should, but if it isn't, you've got a serious issue.
[13:30] <gregor3000> i should have done it form the start it would probably save me a lot of issues.
[13:31] <ramsub07> ryuo: are python scripts notorious to return a non-zero exit code despite the program executing successfully ?
[13:31] <ryuo> ramsub07: trouble is it doesn't apply consistently in functions, and other contexts.
[13:31] <py_dev> ryuo: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libseccomp.so.2.3.1: TrueType Font data, digitally signed, 20 tables, 1st "BASE", 121 names, Macintosh, Copyright 2010, 2012 Adobe Systems Incorporated (http://www.adobe.com/), with Reserved Font Nam
[13:31] <ryuo> py_dev: what the ....
[13:32] <ryuo> ok... you've got something seriously busted here.
[13:32] <ryuo> it's more than a missing file.
[13:32] <ubun_noob> thats scary gregor3000
[13:32] <ryuo> file should say something like: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libseccomp.so.2.3.1: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked
[13:32] <ramsub07> ryuo: For example, I have  a python code and a cp command in my bash script. The python script doesn't return anything at all, does it mean that it's a non-zero exit status?
[13:33] <ryuo> py_dev: honestly, you can try to fix it by reinstalling the lib, but I suspect you'll just be better off reinstalling after salvaging what you can of value.
[13:34] <py_dev> ryuo: Wow.
[13:34] <py_dev> A complete fresh install?
[13:34] <py_dev> Okay. Thanks.
[13:34] <ryuo> py_dev: well... your system is a strange state.
[13:34] <py_dev> On to that then.
[13:34] <ryuo> py_dev: i have no idea how it managed to get there.
[13:35] <ryuo> py_dev: but it seems likely to either be a bug or from running random commands that broke it.
[13:35]  * ryuo shrugs.
[13:35] <py_dev> Nothing really. The battery went out when I slept off.
[13:35] <py_dev> And I turned it on to meet this situation.
[13:35] <ryuo> py_dev: hm. i see.
[13:36] <py_dev> It happened strangely on the night of the 31st.
[13:36] <ryuo> ramsub07: No idea. Shell is a different beast than python or other "real" languages.
[13:37] <py_dev> Is there a way I can get a list of all my import installations and configs so that I copy them out and not miss anything?
[13:37] <ryuo> py_dev: you mean, copy your package list?
[13:37] <py_dev> s/import/important
[13:37] <py_dev> ryuo: If that would help.
[13:37] <ryuo> normally all you need to do is backup home, but it gets more involved the more customized your install is.
[13:38] <gregor3000> ubun_noob: it is, but just backup some folders and restoring afterwards wouldn't be so much different from upgrade. also i think addiitonal issue between 14.04 and 16.04 is that systemd replaced upstart and then in Kubuntu they also changed plasma desktop. so major change in user interface + major change in core of the OS= potential disaster.
[13:38] <py_dev> I'm sure my home partition is safe since it's on a separate partition. I can simply reuse it.
[13:39] <ryuo> fair enough, but i always make a copy before doing a destructive operation. one mistake and your data is effectively toast.
[13:39] <gregor3000> anyway i will rewrite the messed up os with no formating, so that should hopefully keep my home, if not i will restore it.
[13:39] <ubun_noob> gregor3000, ah makes sense
[13:39] <ryuo> py_dev: truth is, i have no idea what else might have been borked on your install. it could be more libs are busted or other files corrupted.
[13:40] <py_dev> ryuo: That's why I need to know the senstive directories, so that I back them up. E.g /etc
[13:40] <ryuo> py_dev: /etc, maybe, but I wouldn't bother unless you made custom adjustments.
[13:40] <py_dev> ryuo: I remember what I ran in initramfs now.
[13:40] <py_dev> It was `fsck`.
[13:40] <py_dev> It said the disk was corrupt.
[13:41] <ryuo> i see.
[13:41] <ryuo> I wonder...
[13:41] <gregor3000> if you do that select manual install and don't mark and parition for format. i had the smae thing back in the 2000's when i upgraded from slightly messed up 98 to winxp - fresh install no formattign did the job quite nicely.
[13:41] <ryuo> i'd check your drive's SMART data.
[13:41] <py_dev> What's that?
[13:41] <ryuo> smartctl -a can help there.
[13:41] <py_dev> It's an SSD if that matters.
[13:41] <ryuo> py_dev: still applicable, though SMART was designd for HDDs.
[13:42] <ryuo> py_dev: may need to install something in the livecd, but try checking smartctl output.
[13:42] <ryuo> it's less useful for SSDs but can still provide useful information.
[13:42] <py_dev> ryuo: Currently not installed.
[13:43] <ryuo> py_dev: so install it.
[13:44] <py_dev> I don't have space in the live disk.
[13:45] <ryuo> what? there usually is, if you have enough ram.
[13:46] <py_dev> It says otherwise.
[13:47] <OerHeks> sure there is disks utility with smart toold on the live iso
[13:49] <ryuo> where is it then? smartctl is the only tool I know of.
[13:49] <OerHeks> in the disks utility ??

[15:29] <rk3y> hi there & happy new year. One question: can i use #comments in the /etc/hosts file? like IP . HOSTNAME . #MAC-Address?
[15:31] <wMw> #comment
[15:31] <wMw> ip hostname
[15:31] <wMw> #comment2
[15:31] <wMw> ip2 hostname2
[15:31] <wMw> :)
[15:32] <pragmaticenigma> rk3y: Yes, you can use the pound symbol for a comment, I am not sure if inline comments are supported. All examples I have seen have the comment on the line above
[15:32] <pragmaticenigma> wMw: Please do not multiline your response. If you wish to show an example, please use pastebin
[15:32] <rk3y> pragmaticenigma wMw: nice thanks. so the hash (#) should work as normal and not disturb my dnsmasq, right?
[15:33] <rk3y> thank you both !
[15:35] <nbusrone> Anyone know what is  GPG error where 'The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY'
[15:35] <Denommus> why isn't there a haskell-stack package in 18.10?
[15:36] <Denommus> is there a way to install stack from apt?
[15:36] <nbusrone> The GPG error https://pastebin.com/qdb88Ej8
[15:39] <BluesKaj> Denommus, are you sure, I'm testing 19.04 atm and haskell-stack is in the repos
[15:41] <OerHeks> nbusrone, line 2 , old releases from raring? and do you have a proxy installed?
[15:43] <pragmaticenigma> !info haskell
[15:43] <pragmaticenigma> !info haskell-stack
[15:44] <pragmaticenigma> Denommus: You need to make sure you have universe repo enabled in the software settings
[16:00] <pizzaburger> Hello! I'm trying to randomize mac address on boot with macchanger. Created '/etc/systemd/system/changemac@.service' file, then enabled systemd services 'sudo systemctl enable changemac@enp10s0.service'. It doesn't change after reboot. Any one have any ideas? Thanks!
[16:03] <pragmaticenigma> pizzaburger: Is there anything logged in syslog?
[16:03] <pragmaticenigma> pizzaburger: or anything logged in dmesg?
[16:04] <OerHeks> what guide did you follow?
[16:05] <pizzaburger> pragmaticenigma: nothing in syslog. Using 'sudo tail /var/log/syslog' command
[16:06] <pizzaburger> OerHeks: This one: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/cVWRvrGZ7k/
[16:07] <pragmaticenigma> pizzaburger: tail is only going to get you the last few lines, use grep to find things in syslog
[16:08] <LordDoskias> in ubutnu 18.04 what is the correct way to install routes which will be added on bootup? my /etc/netplan is empty? shall i put them in /etc/networks?
[16:08] <OerHeks> you created a changemac@.service file, but enabled changemac@enp10s0.service
[16:10] <pizzaburger> OerHeks: okay, let me try again
[16:10] <tomreyn> LordDoskias: are you using systemd-networkd (server) or network manager?
[16:11] <LordDoskias> tomreyn, i'm using whatever is the default, i don't have a systemd-network process started though
[16:11] <tomreyn> LordDoskias: what did you install, ubuntu desktop or ubuntu server?
[16:12] <LordDoskias> desktop
[16:12] <tomreyn> LordDoskias: then you are most likely using network manager, unless you changed it.
[16:13] <tomreyn> using network manager, you can add static routes on every network interface
[16:13] <tomreyn> LordDoskias: those will apply when you bring the interface up. you probably have some interface configured to be brought up automatically.
[16:14] <LordDoskias> yeah my wired interface
[16:15] <LordDoskias> right, found it within nm-connection-editor
[16:15] <LordDoskias> and i if i want to add the routes via the console, what is the suggested way - use nmcli?
[16:15] <LordDoskias> no longer writing to files?
[16:15] <tomreyn> LordDoskias: so configure the wired interface, using the standard GUI, the alterantive nm-connection-editor GUI, or one of the text based UIs (nmcli, nm-tui) to add those routes.
[16:16] <LordDoskias> right, thank you
[16:16] <tomreyn> you're welcome
[16:17] <tomreyn> LordDoskias: you can also use netplan to configure your NM managed interfaces, but i assume this is less attractive on a Desktop computer.
[16:27] <Denommus> pragmaticenigma: thanks
[16:29] <Denommus> pragmaticenigma: it didn't work
[16:32] <ioria> Denommus, what didn't work ?
[16:33] <Denommus> ioria: I'm trying to install haskell-stack in ubuntu cosmic
[16:33] <ioria> !info haskell-stack cosmic
[16:33] <pizzaburger> OerHeks: Sorry, was wrestling with my dog a bit. Anyways, I did 'sudo systemctl enable changemac@.service' and still a no-go. Is everything else good in that guide?
[16:33] <ioria> Denommus, nope, not in the repo
[16:34] <Denommus> I don't want to run suspicious curl scripts in my machine
[16:34] <ioria> Denommus, Removed : https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/haskell-stack/+changelog
[16:34] <logikos> regarding a2ensite (which the apache channel told me to come here to ask about) does it do anything other than create the symlink in sites-enabled that I need to be concerned with.  I ask because I'm considering copying a .conf file into that dir directly rather than sites-available, so a2ensite will not be executed ?
[16:36] <pragmaticenigma> logikos: You can look at the source yourself: /usr/sbin/a2ensite is where the script is located.
[16:36] <OerHeks> how odd .. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/haskell-stack/
[16:37] <logikos> pragmaticenigma: thanks ... and that is a much larger source file that I would have expected...
[16:37] <tomreyn> logikos: sites-enabled/ should contain nothing but symlinks
[16:37] <pragmaticenigma> logikos: I believe the a2en and a2dis scripts do validation and other functions to ensure that the config files are error free before enabling
[16:38] <pragmaticenigma> there is no requirement that sites-enabled/ only have symlinks, it just makes for easier management of the server and is considered best practices to have them in sites-available and use the tool to enable them.
[16:39] <pragmaticenigma> a2 scripts are there to help automate the process for remote management
[16:40] <logikos> I figured that, and considering I'm just doing this in a docker container strictly for local dev, I figured I'd bypass it
[16:40] <logikos> but I have to execute service apache2 reload afterwords anyway, so executing a2ensite is no big deal
[16:40] <logikos> thanks
[16:41] <logikos> was trying to avoid a 2nd RUN block in my docker file after COPY
[16:41] <logikos> but I have to have it anyway
[16:41] <Denommus> ok, I'll just install stack from cabal install, then
[16:44] <tomreyn> logikos: i'm not certain whether this discusses sites-{available,enabled}, but make sure you read /usr/share/doc/apache2/README.Debian.gz
[16:45] <pragmaticenigma> pizzaburger: Just a thought, but it's also possible the "@" symbol is cauing issues. You might want to stick a period or something else there?
[16:48] <pizzaburger> pragmaticenigma: I don't think thats the problem, looking at arch wiki now in the "MAC address spoofing" page and it has the '@' symbol in the file. I'm going to try implementing the information there, but that's quite a bit for a user like me.
[16:49] <pizzaburger> Like, where do I find all the options/syntax for a .service file?
[16:50] <pragmaticenigma> pizzaburger: Why are you trying to run this as a service? Are you having it change the mac on a schedule?
[16:51] <pizzaburger> pragmaticenigma: On boot
[16:52] <pragmaticenigma> pizzaburger: Then maybe try a different approach. Services are meant to run continuously. Also, the start up order of the services matter such that it could be running, but networking isn't online yet so it fails.
[16:54] <cryptodan> best to run mac changing stuff as a script on a by use basis
[16:54] <draget> I can manually download the sources of my kernel and compile it. I just want to compile it to apply one patch. Is there some way to automatically update the kernel while always applying one patch?
[16:58] <nbusrone> OerHeks : sorry for late reply https://pastebin.com/qdb88Ej8 .I don't have any proxy install. How do I check whether I had proxy install
[17:01] <pragmaticenigma> draget: That is something this channel is setup to support. Compiling your own kernel is at your own risk and assumes you know what you are doing. You would be better to check launchpad and see when the patch appears to be released for general use
[17:02] <nbusrone> OerHeks : echo "$http_proxy" show blank line .Does it mean there is no proxy ?
[17:02] <cryptodan> draget: also you would need to know what hardware your computer has to compile
[17:02] <OerHeks> nbusrone, you would know, so i guess you have not; add those keys again? i wonder why they are missing at all https://askubuntu.com/questions/235880/how-to-fix-gpg-in-updater
[17:03] <OerHeks> and trusty is supported for some 3 months from now
[17:05] <draget> cryptodan: pragmaticenigma Thank you for the lecture, as a gentoo dev I know what I am doing. My question was: Is there some package/project that automatically compiles my kernel on updates, also applying patches?
[17:06] <pragmaticenigma> draget: we're not lecturing, we're informing you the answer to your question will not be found here
[17:06] <pragmaticenigma> draget: You can look into DKMS
[17:06] <OerHeks> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DKMS
[17:07] <OerHeks> and https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kernel/Dev/DKMSPackaging
[17:07] <cryptodan> draget: kernels via ubuntu are done via the update manager i believe or via ukuu, but if you must maintain patches from one kernel to the next then i would suggest going to kernel.org and submit your patch there for inclusion
[17:08] <forester> Hi. I have this patch: https://marc.info/?l=linux-pm&m=154534098013460&w=2  ------ I am looking for advice: how to patch kernel with that patch. I know how to patch rt-patch (patch-4.19.10-rt8.patch.xz), BUT I DON'T know how to patch the previous.
[17:08] <forester> How to save that patch to file? And with such name? And what command to use for patching?
[17:08] <forester> I am not a coder.
[17:09] <qswz> synaptics software updater annoys me with Livepatch
[17:09] <qswz> what should i do
[17:09] <pragmaticenigma> forester: This isn't the right channel for that topic. Check with #programming or #kernel
[17:09] <qswz> "Tip: You can use Livepatch to keep your computer more secur between restarts"
[17:09] <lordcirth> forester, if you don't know how, you probably shouldn't be patching your own kernel
[17:11] <forester> pragmaticenigma: #kernel is still silent. programming is a good idea unless I already tryed ##C ##C++ #ubuntu-kernel #linux-libre
[17:12] <pragmaticenigma> forester: The room topic tells what a room is for. Please resepect that. This channel only support Ubuntu and its flavors and the software distributed through official Ubuntu Channels
[17:12] <OerHeks> qswz, do or don't, that is up to you
[17:13] <forester> lordcirth: If you will not try patching you never will be know how to do that.
[17:13] <qswz> I'm  bad at making decisions :p
[17:13] <CookieM> video on ubuntu.com shows this is pretty straightforward, qswz
[17:13] <qswz> I don't really care of security for my laptop
[17:13] <CookieM> https://www.ubuntu.com/livepatch
[17:13] <lordcirth> Well, one generally tries patching things that aren't your kernel, first
[17:13] <qswz> ok, thanks, let me see
[17:13] <cryptodan> forester: well ask the person that created the patch via that mailing list to see if if the patch will be backported
[17:14] <forester> lordcirth: If you don't know how to read then you probably should not go to school and university.
[17:16] <pizzaburger> pragmaticenigma, OerHeks: I got it to work following the arch wiki. Yet it still doesn't change the vendor number in mac address (first 6 digits) despite giving it the '-r' option. Anyways, thank you very much for the help!
[17:18] <CookieM> qswz, still, you have to register to Ubuntu One service to make it running
[17:18] <forester> cryptodan Your suggesting needs time. I just going to try. Thank you.
[17:18] <qswz> CookieM: ew, that's annoying, thx
[17:18] <qswz> I think I'm fine with the reboots then
[17:22] <nbusrone> OerHeks : same , added the key still having the same problem
[17:22] <nbusrone> OerHeks : is it because of server ?
[17:23] <OerHeks> nbusrone, i have no clue, trusty is so old..
[17:23] <OerHeks> and that funny 'raring line'...
[17:36] <Matrix8967[m]> So....I'm seeing quite a few of the Ubuntu Certified Laptops where the OEM actually doesn't allow Ubuntu to be preinstalled?? Example: https://certification.ubuntu.com/hardware/201808-26387/
[17:37] <nbusrone> OerHeks : Maybe request for update ? Running trusty was because of LTS with low hardware spec support for  2gb ram and dual core support
[17:37] <nbusrone> OerHeks : Any light weight distro for 2GB and C2D support ?
[17:43] <pragmaticenigma> Matrix8967[m]: That is a validation that the hardware in that particular laptop will require little to no tweaking to get Ubuntu up and running. That the hardware components within do not require proprietary drivers to operate. As for vendor of the computer, they can't stop a person from installing Ubuntu on the machine. The vendor can choose not to support the machine if it is running an OS that wasn't installed
[17:43] <pragmaticenigma> by them.
[17:44] <Matrix8967[m]> Totally. Just trying to convince my boss to move me off of this macbook, and onto something libre...however, they don't want to without official support, like the Dell XPS editions that are stamped at the factory and also don't contain a windows key. 😕
[17:45] <Nexilva> Hello
[17:46] <Nexilva> I am on 18.04, I am looking for MAME version 0.177
[17:46] <Nexilva> Where can I find this old version?
[17:46] <Nexilva> Thank you
[17:47] <teward> Nexilva: that version of MAME is not in the repositories for *any* version of Ubuntu.  Is there a reason you need that specific old version of MAME?
[17:49] <Nexilva> Yes, my games only work with that version.
[17:50] <ducasse> Nexilva: then it looks like you'll need to build it from source
[17:50] <Nexilva> I see.
[17:52] <Nexilva> doing apt-get build-dep mame, seems like it fills the dependencies for dev packages
[17:52] <Nexilva> Where can I get the source, I can't seem to find the old versions.
[17:52] <Nexilva> Doe sany ubuntu vesion have it? It came out in aug 2016
[17:52] <Nexilva> https://www.mamedev.org/?p=430
[17:53] <Nexilva> https://www.mamedev.org/oldrel.html I found it!
[17:53] <Nexilva> I am awesome.
[17:54] <Nexilva> Also, what is a good mame front end in ubuntu?
[17:55] <Nexilva> http://www.mameui.info/ I use this in windows but I can't have it in linux because there is not
[17:59] <notevil> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/yv5vvm5S2w/ I'm getting No irq handler for vector, I've tried pci=nomsi,noaer on the kernel line in grub.
[17:59] <olabaz> hi, is there a way to get packages installed through apt in a specified directory eg. /home/me/opt ?
[18:00] <CookieM> Nexilva, there is gnome-video-arcade in the repos
[18:01] <jesse1010> can anyone tell me how to force the installer to install the boot on a separate ssd but install everything else on my nvme?
[18:01] <jesse1010> I want encryption and I want to auto partition
[18:03] <EriC^^> jesse1010: you can have /boot encrypted as well part of the root filesystem if you want
[18:15] <bipul> Hi
[18:15] <bipul> Why i'm getting this issue https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/fcsZzjgRny/
[18:34] <pragmaticenigma> bipul: THere is an unresolved dependency for salt-master
[18:35] <bipul> And what is that? pragmaticenigma
[18:36] <pragmaticenigma> bipul: Line 61 on your pastebin: ImportError: No module named concurrent
[18:36] <teward> bipul: as I said, try installing `python-concurrent.futures` and see if it works.  It needs the `concurrent` module, you may want to test if installing that package I just specified works
[18:36] <treepalm> If I would resize and shrink a partition on my system I should do it from a live usb right?
[18:36] <teward> because if it does, then you can file a bug against salt-master that it needs that pacakge as a dependency
[18:36] <teward> treepalm: yes, you should.
[18:37] <teward> treepalm: and backup any data you want to make sure you don't lose, just in case.
[18:37] <bipul> sure, let me try and get back to you.
[18:37] <treepalm> bipul: could there be bad consequences? file corruptions and so on?
[18:38] <bipul> I have no idea, after installing wireshark, i was having issue with salt-master
[18:38] <teward> treepalm: if it fails, yes, but rule 1 before messing with your partitions is Backup Backup Backup
[18:38] <teward> bipul: they mishighlighted you
[18:38] <bipul> who?
[18:39] <teward> ... treepalm.
[18:40] <bipul> teward, Yeah it works
[18:40] <teward> bipul: then file a bug against the salt source package, indicate which Ubuntu you're installing it on, and that it is missing a dependency on python-concurrent.futures
[18:41] <teward> and that it is otherwise unusable currently.
[18:42] <bipul> teward, It was a bug? I'm using Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS
[18:42] <teward> bipul: in the package itself, yes.
[18:42] <bipul> I would happy to report a bug for Ubuntu :)
[18:44] <bipul> teward, I'm installing from here APT-Sources: http://repo.saltstack.com/apt/ubuntu/16.04/amd64/latest xenial/main amd64 Packages
[18:44] <pragmaticenigma> bipul: That appears to be a 3rd party PPA.. yes?
[18:44] <teward> bipul: wait, you're isntalling from saltstack's repos and not the Ubuntu repos?
[18:44] <teward> bipul: you need to contact SaltStack upstream about the issue
[18:44] <teward> we don't support 3rd Party PPAs and Repos here.
[18:45] <bipul> No, i'm installing from saltstack repo
[18:45] <bipul> okay i got it, thanks
[18:45] <teward> that's not an Ubuntu repository, so contact the Salt Stack people about it
[18:45] <bipul> sure.
[18:45] <teward> tell them they are missing a dependency on python-concurrent.futures
[18:46] <ioria> that module is included in python-tornado that is a dependency of salt-common
[18:49] <OerHeks> bipul, 20 not upgraded. .. time to fix that first, but you are familiar with this issue
[18:53] <bipul> OerHeks, I'm sorry?
[18:54] <bipul> How do i list those packages which are not upgraded?
[18:55] <OerHeks> apt install dist-upgrade will show them, after removing that 3rd party cruft
[18:55] <bipul> okay :) thank you OerHeks
[19:18] <resnik2> what's the dev channel?
[19:19] <OerHeks> ubuntu-dev i guess
[19:20] <tomreyn> #ubuntu-devel
[19:20] <tomreyn> but they found it
[19:35] <amcclure> hello
[19:36] <amcclure> is it possible to install Ubuntu on a Microsoft Surface 3 (Non-Pro)
[19:36] <JoseAntonio> hello helpme
[19:37] <lordcirth> amcclure, it is possible
[19:37] <lordcirth> JoseAntonio, what do you need help with?
[19:37] <amcclure> hi JoseAntonio
[19:38] <JoseAntonio> lordcirth, I'm installing ubuntu next to windows 7, but in the installation I see "Install next to windows 10" but my system is not 10 but 7
[19:38] <itguys> JoseAntonio: It doesn't really matter. It'll still work.
[19:39] <itguys> JoseAntonio: Windows 7 and 10 are similar enough that Ubuntu will figure it out. :)
[19:39] <JoseAntonio> itguys, thank :)
[19:42] <itguys> JoseAntonio: Was that your only issue?
[19:42] <JoseAntonio> Yes just that
[19:43] <itguys> JoseAntonio: Hopefully that was helpful then!
[19:44] <amcclure> lordcirth: would I have to disable secureboot, tpm, or both?
[19:44] <lordcirth> amcclure, a quick google search shows dozens of guides.
[19:44] <amcclure> I only found stuff for the surface 3 pro though...
[19:45] <itguys> amcclure: If Surfaces are the same as other laptops, you should just be able to disable Secure Boot and boot off a USB
[19:55] <pragmaticenigma> amcclure:  You might be able to install Ubuntu on the Surface 3, however support for a lot of the hardware components is very limited given the nature of that particular device.
[20:21] <leftyfb> I finally upgraded to 18.04(installed from scratch) but have a few annoyances I can't seem to find the answers to. The first one being when I open a new tab/window/split in terminal/terminator, it opens to the $PWD from the window I was last in. I'm not a fan of this and would like to disable it. It doesn't seem to be a feature/setting of gnome-terminal or terminator but that of Ubuntu/gnome itself.
[20:24] <tomreyn> leftyfb: you can long-click on the terminal icon on the panel and select 'New Terminal' from the drop down menu, which seems to give you one which will start from $HOME
[20:25] <tomreyn> right-click also works instead of long-click
[20:25] <leftyfb> tomreyn: This is with new window/tab/split. That only covers one aspect which I use the least.
[20:25] <leftyfb> new tabs and splitting windows does the same thing
[20:25] <leftyfb> I split windows VERY often
[20:25] <ioria> leftyfb, so when you open a new gnome-terminal tab ... it's not in the same directory ?
[20:26] <tomreyn> it IS, that's what leftyfb doesnt want
[20:26] <leftyfb> ioria: it is in the same directory, which I don't want
[20:26] <leftyfb> that's a silly default if you ask me :)
[20:26] <ioria> leftyfb, i guess it's the normal behaviour
[20:27] <leftyfb> ioria: not in the 11 years I've been running ubuntu. This is new at least since 16.04
[20:27] <ioria> leftyfb, you need to edit .bashrc to set a default directory
[20:27] <leftyfb> oh?
[20:28] <wurstnase> hi, my super-key isn't working properly. e.g. pressing it will open the menu, but other features (moving window) won't work. i'm on lubuntu 18.10, but this happend also with mate (not tested more).
[20:29] <leftyfb> ioria: what's the env?
[20:30] <lordcirth> leftyfb, you could just add 'cd' to .bashrc
[20:30] <ioria> leftyfb, env | grep -i pwd
[20:30] <ioria> leftyfb, usually, yes that ^
[20:30] <leftyfb> gross
[20:30] <lordcirth> works
[20:32] <leftyfb> ioria: you know what, I don't know what's wrong with me. I guess it has been default and for some reason seeing it happen on this new install just rubbed me the wrong way or something.
[20:32] <ioria> leftyfb, heheheh
[20:33] <leftyfb> There's SO many things I have to customize for gnome shell. I'm a gnome classic fan
[20:33] <leftyfb> Regardless, the 2nd issue is with fonts in some applications look horrendous. hexchat for instance. Mainly the timetamp for posts gets eaten by longer nicks.
[20:34] <ioria> leftyfb, about hexchat could be a 'theme' issue ...
[20:34] <leftyfb> ioria: with the default theme in ubuntu?
[20:34] <leftyfb> There's no theme settings in hexchat
[20:35] <leftyfb> I typically don't change the default themes
[20:35] <ioria> leftyfb, yes, well... i wanted hexchat looks like xchat... so i need to install the 'classic' theme ... idk if it's the case here
[20:36] <ioria> leftyfb,  laste comment : https://github.com/hexchat/hexchat/issues/682
[20:39] <leftyfb> ioria: That only changes colors, not text size/positions
[20:39] <ioria> it should ...mmm
[20:39] <ioria> leftyfb,  try xchat
[20:40] <ioria> !info xchat bionic
[20:40] <leftyfb> ioria: https://blog.tingping.se/2018/03/02/when-distros-get-it-wrong.html
[20:40] <JoseAntonio> I want to install something and it says E: could not unlock /ver/lib/pkg - open (11: resources temporarily unavailable)
[20:41] <ioria> leftyfb,  xchat is reborn
[20:41] <tomreyn> JoseAntonio: some other process is also running something involving dpkg at the same time. maybe you have two package manager open?
[20:41] <OerHeks> JoseAntonio, ór unattended updates ór another softwarecenter open
[20:42] <tomreyn> running "sudo lsof /ver/lib/pkg" may give a clue (if you have lsof installed)
[20:42] <tomreyn> that's "sudo lsof /var/lib/dpkg"
[20:43] <tomreyn> that's "sudo lsof /var/lib/dpkg/lock"
[21:11] <qwebirc41344> Running 18:10, my icons are white and black. Folders, terminal, screenshot tool. How would one change this?
[21:12] <qwebirc41344> My right click context menu is also white
[21:13] <OerHeks> go into uneversal access, and disable high contrast?
[21:13] <OerHeks> or tell us what theme switch you made
[21:15] <qwebirc41344> high contrast is off. as for theme i don't know. I went from 18.04 to 18.10 and always used the default theme for as long as I've used ubuntu
[21:22] <qwebirc41344> what is the default 18.10 theme?
[21:24] <Bashing-om> qwebirc41344: ubuntu ? then yaru. Discussion/development on https://discourse.ubuntu.com/ .
[21:28] <qwebirc41344> yeah I'm lost. my icons look like high contrast mode is on but its not.
[21:31] <qwebirc41344> gnome tweaks is telling me im using adwaita theme
[21:34] <tomreyn> qwebirc41344: could also be a graphics driver issue if it happened directly after the upgrade,
[21:35] <tomreyn> or the upgrade didnt succeed, did it say anything liek that?
[21:35] <tomreyn> are you using third party packages?
[21:38] <qwebirc41344> No to all
[21:39] <OerHeks> !info adwaita-icon-theme-full
[21:39] <raub> Quick odd question: what is in the first 512bytes in a hard drive?
[21:39] <raub> (or 1024/etc). I mean first sector
[21:39] <OerHeks> raub, ask in ##hardware
[21:41] <qwebirc41344> Is it possible to reinstall 18.10 from terminal? maybe that will fix something
[21:42] <OerHeks> you might miss adwaita-icon-theme-full
[21:42] <qwebirc41344> okay let me try
[21:46] <qwebirc41344> okay that fixed the white icons. what is the theme in this picture from the ununtu blog? This is where I ultimately want to end up
[21:46] <qwebirc41344> admin.insights.ubuntu.com/wp-content/uploads/64d0/image2.png
[21:50] <CookieM> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_version_history#Ubuntu_18.10_(Cosmic_Cuttlefish) it’s called yaru
[22:03] <PhoenyxCullen> Do you guys support upgrading a Linux Mint to a Ubuntu, or do you guys require a fresh install?
[22:05] <cryptodan_mobile> PhoenyxCullen: best to do a fresh install
[22:05] <leftyfb> PhoenyxCullen: there is no upgrade path from mint to ubuntu. You install one or the other.
[22:49] <cousteau> Hi.  Could someone please confirm bug #1789704 ?
[22:49] <cousteau> Specifically with the screen resolution set to 144 dpi
[22:50] <cousteau> (just to check that it's not just me, or not just an XFCE thing)
[22:53] <cimjaro-> what is the proper way to move a snap package to /home where disk space is 2tb and /var/snap is a mere 20gb
[22:54] <cimjaro-> i tried moving /var/snap/package-name to /home and the mongodb failed to start because "permission denied"
[23:00] <OerHeks> mount --bind instead of symlinks should work for the /var/lib/snapd/ folder https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/where-is-a-snap-stored-and-how-can-i-change-that/3194/4
[23:00] <OerHeks> symlinks open a hole, security
[23:01] <cimjaro> strange
[23:01] <cimjaro> symlinks works with docker containers
[23:13] <visone> howdy
[23:25] <cousteau> OerHeks, good to know (not for that specific use case, but I've always thought of symlinks as a way to fix many problems when they probably aren't)
[23:32] <treepalm> Hi, is there a way to modify the login screen on the first startup (not log out screen).. I've noticed that on the first startup the system still does not recognize the screen resolution nor the theme installed... suggestions? Thanks
[23:40] <GunArm> what do I do to log into ubuntu forums now, with my old credentials from 2014?
[23:41] <GunArm> I had to go to a bunch of trouble to switch credentials and then like.... link the old and new together the first time they screwed this all up around 2013, took me a year to sort it out.  Now they have changed it again, maybe more than once since then?
[23:42] <GunArm> it says "If you have an existing Ubuntu Single Sign On account, this is now called your Ubuntu One account" but my login/pw from 2014 is completely unrecognized, and I know it's correct it's straight out of my password manager
[23:44] <GunArm> nvm it let me change the password, or rather forced me to, maybe they were breached or forced resets during the most recent login overhaul
[23:59] <clorisu> hi does anyone know why my bluetooth keyboard isnt showing up in blueman or bluetoothctl? its powered on with new batteries, and ive made it discoverable. im on kernel 4.14.91
